Bin Laden death paints clearer picture of programs
CIA tactics up for debate again
By MATT APUZZO

Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The gov-
ernment’s hunt for Osama bin La-
den has left the country question-
ing whether the tactics used to in-
terrogate suspected terrorists
were successful and lawful. With
his death, both sides of the debate
have regrouped along familiar
lines, claiming they were right all
along.

the hunt for bin
reduced to a Laden evolved
debate over into a hunt for
waterboard- his couriers, the
few men he
ing. trusted to pass
his personal
messages to his field command-
ers. After the attacks of Sept. 11,
2001, detainees in the CIA’s secret
prison network told interrogators
about one of al-Qaida’s most im-
portant couriers, someone known
only as Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti.
He was a protégé of al-Qaida’s No.
3, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
In 2003, the CIA captured Mo-
hammed, the group’s operational
leader. Mohammed was interro-
gated using what the agency
called "enhanced interrogation
techniques" such as sleep depriva-
tion and the simulated drowning
technique known as waterboard-
ing. Months after being water-
boarded, Mohammed acknowl-
edged knowing al-Kuwaiti, for-
mer officials say.

that it should be stopped and nev-

By SEBASTIAN ABBOT
and ASIF SHAHZAD
Associated Press
ISLAMABAD — Outraged Pa-
kistanis stepped up calls Satur-
day for top government officials
to resign following the daring
American helicopter raid that
killed Osama bin Laden and em-
barrassed the nation.
Some of the sharpest language
was directed at the army and in-
telligence chiefs, a rare challenge
to arguably the two most power-
ful men in the country, who are
more accustomed to being feared
than publicly criticized.
The Pakistani army has said it
had no idea bin Laden was hiding
for up to six years in Abbottabad,
an army town only two and a half
hours’ drive from the capital, Isla-
mabad.
That claim has met with skep-
ticism from U.S. officials, who
have repeatedly criticized Pakis-
tan for failing to crack down on
Islamist militants.
But with anti-American senti-
ment already high in the South
Asian nation, many Pakistani citi-
zens were more incensed by the
fact that the country’s military
was powerless to stop the Amer-
ican raid.
Some lawmakers and analysts
expressed hope that civilian lead-
ers can seize on this anger to chip
away at the military’s power, but
others doubt that even an embar-
rassment of this scale will shake
the status quo.
In this 1998 photo, Al-Qaida leader Osama Bin Laden speaks to a
selected group of reporters in southern Afghanistan.
Mohammed acknowledged
knowing al-Kuwaiti after being
waterboarded, but he also denied
he was an al-Qaida figure or of any
importance. It was a lie, much like
the stories Mohammed said he
made up about where bin Laden
was hiding. Even after the CIA
deemed him "compliant," Mo-
hammed never gave up al-Kuwai-
ti’s real name or his location, or ac-
knowledged al-Kuwaiti’s impor-
tance in the terrorist network.
But the detention program did
play a crucial role in the search for
bin Laden.
In 2004, top al-Qaida operative
Hassan Ghul was captured in Iraq.
In a secret CIA prison, Ghul con-
firmed to the CIA that al-Kuwaiti
was an important courier. In par-
ticular, Ghul said, the courier was
close to Faraj al-Libi, who had re-
placed Mohammed as al-Qaida’s
operational commander.
The CIA had less success when
it captured al-Libi.
Al-Libi was not waterboarded.
But he did get the full range of en-
hanced interrogation, including
intense sleep deprivation, former
officials recalled. Despite those ef-
forts, al-Libi adamantly denied
knowing al-Kuwaiti. He acknowl-
edged meeting with an important
courier, but he provided a fake
name.
Both he and Mohammed with-
held or fabricated information,
even after the agency’s toughest
interrogations. That gave cre-
dence to what many longtime in-
terrogators have maintained, that
increasingly harsh questioning
produces information but not nec-
essarily reliable information.
Given what they knew from
other detainees, CIA interroga-
tors suspected that al-Libi and
Mohammed were lying about al-
Kuwaiti and that it must be impor-

Pact details under wraps

Police allege Raymond Vega, 40,
injured a 21-year-old woman during
a domestic argument Friday night.
By MATT HUGHES
mhughes@timesleader.com
WILKES-BARRE – City police re-
leased information Saturday about two
separate stabbing incidents that hap-
pened within the same hour Friday.
Police said they arrested Raymond
Vega, 40, of Hazle Avenue, on assault
charges after he allegedly stabbed Ta-
bitha Tirado, 21, of Airy Street, in the
neck at approximately 9:55 p.m. at 2 Ai-
ry St., Apt. 6. Police said the stabbing
took place during a domestic argument.
A 13-year-old boy who said he wit-
nessed the attack who was interviewed
near the scene Friday night said Tirado
was stabbed in the neck when she tried
to intervene in an argument between
Vega and another woman.
Tirado was taken by ambulance to an
area hospital for treatment, police said.
They were not sure of her condition.
Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical
Center and Wilkes-Barre General Hos-
pital said they could not release wheth-
er Tirado had been admitted.
Vega was taken into
police custody Friday
and arraigned before
District Judge John
Hasay, Shickshinny,
Saturday on multiple
charges of aggravated
Vega and simple assault. He
is being held at Lu-
zerne County Correctional Facility for
lack of $50,000 straight bail. A prelimi-
nary hearing has been scheduled for
May 11 at 9:30 a.m. at central court in
Wilkes-Barre.
Police are still investigating another
reported fight and stabbing that took
place less than 40 minutes earlier on the
200 block of Coal Street. Police respon-
ded at 9:18 p.m. to a report of a large
fight and found that four males and one
female had been slashed with a sharp in-
strument.
Police said several suspects were
identified but that they had fled prior to
police arrival.
The victims were transported to area
hospitals for treatment of what ap-

School Board voted to approve a new
contract with teachers, and details of
the contract are still unavailable.
But board member Russell Bigus – a
member of the board’s negotiation
committee that hammered out the deal
– said it’s just a matter of technicalities
and predicted the final
draft will be made
public this week.
The board voted to
approve the contract
April 11, but that ap-
proval was contingent
upon a review of lan-
guage and details by
school board Solicitor Bigus
Ben Jones III. Bigus
said Jones is near the end of that re-
view.
Business Manager Grant Palfey said
the nuts and bolts of the contract have
been reviewed by Jones, but that there
are a slew of “memoranda of under-
standing,” or MOUs, that also had to
be looked at.
The Dallas School Board is hardly
alone in approving a contract before
the wording is finalized. In Luzerne
County school districts, that’s the
norm. When Wilkes-Barre Area School
District recently approved a contract
extension with Superintendent Jeff
Namey, no contract was available after
the vote. When Lake-Lehman School

Bigus said the Dallas board never hid
the fact that the contract was not final-
ized, noting the board voted to approve
it pending the legal review.

PITTSTON – The Red Cross of
Wyoming Valley is working to help the
45 to 50 people who were evacuated
from the Apollo Apartments at 161 S.
Main St. after a fire late Friday night.
City police, firefighters and ambu-
lance responded to a fire at the Apollo
Apartments shortly after 9:40 p.m.
Forty to 50 residents were evacuated
from the building, and 12 were put up in
hotel rooms over night by the Red
Cross, Director of Emergency Services
Brian Wrightson said. The rest stayed
with family, he added.
The Red Cross will continue to pro-

$4,000 on sewer lines running from

O’Connor wasn’t sure why the letters
were sent to Plains residents, as the

I N B R I E F GAS PRICES Pain at the pump will decline just in time for summer vacations

NEW YORK — Some relief from suf-
focating gas prices will likely arrive just
in time for summer vacation. Expect a
drop of nearly 50 cents as early as June,
analysts say.
After rocketing up 91 cents since Ja-
nuary, including 44 straight days of in-
creases, the national average last week
stopped just shy of $4 a gallon and has
retreated to under $3.98. A steady de-
cline is expected to follow.
It might not be enough to evoke
cheers from people who recall gas sta-
tions charging less than $3 a gallon last
year. But it would still ease the burden
on drivers. And it might help lift con-
sumer spending, which powers about
70 percent of the economy. A 50-cent
drop in prices would save U.S. drivers
about $189 million a day.
Typically, gas prices peak each

Troops in tanks and armored vehicles
entered a key oil-industry city on Syria’s
Mediterranean coast Saturday, taking up
position in a hilltop Crusader castle and
cutting off power and phone lines. An ac-
tivist said three women protesting the
crackdown were shot dead.
The move against Banias, which had
become a bastion of anti-regime protests
in recent days, signals an expanding cam-
paign by President Bashar Assad aimed
at crushing the country’s seven-week na-
tionwide uprising.
Ammar Qurabi of the National Organi-
zation for Human Rights said the three
women were protesting the siege and the
cutting of power lines when they were
shot dead by plainclothed security forces
or pro-government gunmen.
Saturday’s shooting occurred near al-
Marqab, about a mile southeast of Ba-
nias. Qurabi said gunfire was continuing
and several other people were wounded.

Huntsman defends
work for Obama
Possible GOP presidential
nominee recently served as
U.S. ambassador to China.
By PHILIP ELLIOTT
Associated Press
COLUMBIA, S.C. — Repub-
lican Jon Huntsman, weighing a
White House bid, used his first
formal event after stepping
down as President Barack Oba-
ma’s ambassador to China to
confront the line on his resume
that conservatives were most
likely to declare a deal-breaker.
In a high-profile speech to the
University of South Carolina,
the former Utah governor said
patriotism should trump parti-
sanship and defended his two
years in Beijing as the Demo-
cratic administration’s top dip-
lomat.
“Work to keep America great.
Serve her if asked. I was — by a
president of a different political
party,” Huntsman said, directly
addressing the job that his rivals
and critics hope to make dis-
qualifier among the conserva-
tives who hold great sway in the
nominating process.
“But in the end, while we
might not all be of one party, we
are all part of one nation — a
nation that needs your genera-
tional gift, energy and confi-
dence,” he told graduates,
pitching himself as an above-
politics figure and appealing to
voters who have grown weary of
political bickering.
Obama named Huntsman, a
Mandarin speaker and former
Mormon missionary to Taiwan,
his representative in Beijing
two years ago. Many believed
Obama was sending a rising
star in Republican politics —
and a potential challenger in
2012 — to China to neutralize
the threat.
If that was the goal, it didn’t
work.
Huntsman no sooner stepped
off the plane from Beijing last
CMYK
week than he
was meeting
with advisers
in Washing-
ton, courting
donors in New
York and woo-
Huntsman ing lawmakers
on Capitol
Hill. He also swiftly set up a fed-
eral political committee and
hired staff, all clear signs he’s
moving rapidly toward a White
House run.
And on Friday, he met pri-
vately with Gov. Nikki Haley,
another rising star in the GOP
who last year became the first
woman and first Indian-Ameri-
can to win the governor’s office
in South Carolina.
"Things are moving pretty
quickly,” he said. He signaled
that he’d decide sooner rather
than later whether to run, add-
ing: “Whatever timeline one is
looking at can’t be more than a
couple months.”
Huntsman, who worked in
the Republican administrations
of President Ronald Reagan,
George H.W. Bush and George
W. Bush, said he and his family
are “seriously considering our
options and taking a good seri-
ous look at maintaining some
level of activity in public ser-
vice.”
Huntsman’s advisers say he
hasn’t made a decision if he will
join the field for 2012. At age 51,
he could afford to wait until
2016 if he perceives Obama as
likely to be unbeatable.
"Our system needs new
thinking," Huntsman said-
.Huntsman, a conservative who
has taken moderate positions
on environmental issues and
came out in support of same-sex
civil unions, is among several
Republicans still weighing bids
as the GOP field takes shape at a
much slower pace than in past
campaigns. Huntsman’s advis-
ers say parts of his record could
appeal to conservatives, moder-
ates and independents alike.

Walking to support cancer wellness
Event sponsored by Candy’s

Times Leader Correspondent
WILKES-BARRE -- The 14th
Annual Rainbow Walk on Satur-
day morning was held at Kirby
Park to support the local efforts
for Candy’s Place: The Center
for Cancer Wellness.
The Rainbow Walk is named
for the late Candice Vincent-
Mamary, who loved rainbows
and inspired the founding of
Candy’s Place.
The sunny morning started
with registration, which consist-
ed of a sea of matching Candy’s
Place shirts, plus dogs, children
in strollers, and friends welcom-
ing friends under the Kirby Park
Pavilion. Some personalized
shirts also were part of the
crowd, in support or memory of
family and friends.
Participants in the non-com-
petition 2.5-mile walk were
there as volunteers, survivors, to
offer support to a loved one, or
in memory.
Some had heard of the Rain-
bow Walk from Facebook or a
friend, and some were local or
had traveled to participate in the
event. Jen Lukavitch from Shick-
shinny joined her friends Angela

Flannery spoke of Candy’s
Place fondly, as “a great resource
to help you during and after
with their exercise and health

The event officially started
with motivation and first-hand

and all of the miniature groups
headed out on the Rainbow
Walk, chatting to new people
and walking as one group.
Candy’s Place is a cancer well-
ness and resource center which
offers free programs and servic-
es to cancer patients and loved
ones. Candy’s Place was founded
in 1998 in memory of Candice
Vincent-Mamary, who passed
away from lung cancer and
wanted a meaning to this event
in her life.
Nicole Farber, the Center Co-
ordinator for Candy’s Place,
states the mission in her words
as “just to help anyone diag-
nosed with cancer and their fam-
ilies on their journey” and that
what Candy’s Place is all about
is “hope.” Most of the funding
for Candy’s Place comes from
donations and fundraising
events,
Farber hopes to reach a goal of
$35,000. More than 500 people
registered for the walk. Candy’s
Place is mainly run by volun-
teers.

Adonizio set for
tough decisions
By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES
jandes@timesleader.com
Luzerne County Council can-
didate John Adonizio said he
didn’t want to stop his involve-
ment in county government af-
ter serving on the Government
Study Commission that drafted
the county’s new home rule
charter.
“It was pretty gratifying work-
ing on that charter for a year,
and when you get through with
doing something like that, you
still want to keep
going. You want to
be a part of it,” the
Hughestown man
recently told a
Times Leader en-
dorsement panel.
“I want to see it succeed. I
want to see things work,” he
said.
Adonizio said he would be
comfortable serving on the 11-
person county council because
he has “a lot of insight” into the
charter and because the study
commission was also a diverse
group of 11.
“I’m the type of guy that could
work with other people. I feel I
have common sense, common
sense in making those decisions
that are right for the 300,000
people that live in Luzerne
County,” he said.
Adonizio said he’s also willing
to make “hard decisions.”
He served on the Pittston Ar-
ea School Board for four years
and also has served as secretary
and treasurer of the Luzerne In-
Urban touts time in office
By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES
jandes@timesleader.com
Luzerne County Council can-
didate Stephen A. Urban said his
more than 11 years of experience
as a county commissioner would
be an asset in the county’s switch
to a new home rule government.
“I think the council is going to
need someone with experience,
someone who knows the county
and knows how it operates. I sure
know how it oper-
ates,” the Wilkes-
Barre man recently
told a Times Leader
endorsement pan-
el.
Urban said he’s focused heavily
on helping constituents with
their problems and questions
since he became a commissioner
in 2000. He said he reported
wrongdoing and had no ties to
corrupt activity in the county,
and he noted that he voted
against the leasing of a Pittston
Township juvenile detention cen-
ter that was linked to charges
against two former judges and
others.
Voters he meets on the cam-
paign trail regularly tell him they
believe he’s honest and has integ-
rity, he said.
termediate Unit board.
Adonizio said he would sup-
port holding county council
meetings at night to give more
people an opportunity to attend.
He said he would like to see
more parity in collective bar-
gaining agreements and said he
would support raises based on
performance, rather than
across-the-board increases. Ado-
nizio said he believes county
employees “do a good job” and
does not believe they would op-
pose merit-based raises.
Adonizio said he’s confident
the council could find ways to
save money, though he said he
wouldn’t provide specifics until
he got into office and studied
them.
As a charter drafter, he sup-
ported the appointment of the
county manager, rather than
making it an elected position.
He wants a manager with
public finance and government
experience who exhibits hones-
ty, integrity and the ability to
work well with others. He
would like a manager from the
area.
“Luzerne County and North-
eastern Pennsylvania have a lot
of good people -- a lot of good
people – so I wouldn’t be op-
posed to hiring someone from
the county or close to the coun-
ty,” he said.
Adonizio said he’s running so-
lo. He was interviewed by area
union leaders who chose a slate
of 11 Democrats, but was not se-
lected.
“I think people know who I
am,” he said.
The heads of county depart-
ments requested $150 million in
expenditures last fall, and com-
missioners whittled down the
budget to $125 million, he said,
noting that he would want to
share his insight on “where the
fluff is” with the new council
members.
Urban said he’s been unable to
obtain a second vote needed un-
der the current three-commis-
sioner system to reduce staffing,
particularly in court branches.
For example, county judges have
four staffers, which is not the
norm in other counties, he said.
He believes each judge should be
allowed an assistant or executive
secretary and a law clerk. The
state reimburses the county
$61,000 for a judge’s staff, and the
county spends about $300,000,
he said.
He does not support a tax in-
crease, citing statistics on local
unemployment, gas prices and
foreclosures.
“People are hurting. There’s
been no bump in this economy,”
he said, noting that tax hikes are
the “easy” solution.
Urban said he will continue to

it took more than a decade to
phase in a requirement for em-

health care. Some union con-
tracts have binding arbitration,
he said, urging state legislators to
try to force arbitrators to make
rulings that are more “in line with

He opposed the home rule
charter, in large part because vot-

Luzerne County Council can-

“Everything that’s gone down

the Ashley man recently told a

“It’s a business,

it’s been run as a

His 24 years of

marily as plant manager, will
benefit county council, he said.
Sorokach said he understands
pricing and purchasing.
He said he supports keeping
jobs and contracts in the county.
Reducing the county’s $460
million debt should be a top pri-
ority, he said, adding that he
would recommend a temporary
freeze on new hiring until the
new county manager gets on

the outgoing government
stemmed from decisions made
by people, not the government
structure itself.
After meeting other candi-
dates, including those from his
own union-endorsed slate of 11
Democrats, Sorokach said the
caliber of prospective council
members has convinced him that
the new council will be able to
work together to make deci-

He said he wants a county

COURT BRIEFS
WILKES-BARRE – A Hazle-

ing her 8-year-old son and
feeding the boy dog food will
not challenge the charges
against her.
Barbara Reimiller, 34, last
known address as South Cedar
Street, is not contesting the
charge of simple assault.
Prosecutors withdrew charg-
es of unlawful restraint, false
imprisonment and reckless
endangerment against Reimill-
er under a negotiated plea
agreement with her attorney,
Ed Olexa. Luzerne County
Senior Judge Joseph Augello
accepted the plea agreement
during a hearing on Friday.
A no-contest plea carries the
weight as a conviction, but the
defendant does not admit guilt.
According to the criminal
complaint:
Hazleton police investigated
a report of suspected child
abuse from Luzerne County
Children and Youth Services in
September 2009.
In an interview with police,
the boy alleged Reimiller
locked him in his bedroom
while she went out and that he
would be in there until “at least
sunrise.” The boy also stated
Reimiller beat him and threw

WILKES-BARRE – A man
who admitted to downloading
child pornography because he
was “curious” was sentenced in
Luzerne County Court on
Friday.
Senior Judge Joseph Augello
sentenced Jamell Amos, 34,
last known address as East
Ridge Street, Nanticoke, on
three counts each of possession
of child pornography and dis-
semination of child pornog-
raphy. Amos was sentenced to
six to 23 months in jail but was
paroled when he was given
credit for 195 days time served
at the county correctional
facility.
Amos was also ordered to
serve five years probation and
lifetime registration of his
address with state police under
the state’s Megan’s Law. He
pleaded guilty to the charges
on Feb. 1.
Amos was charged after
investigators searched his
Nanticoke residence in June.
Several movies showing chil-
dren involved in sex acts were
found on a computer in the
residence, according to the
criminal complaint.
Amos told investigators he
was “curious” when asked why
he downloaded child pornog-
raphy.

Chrobak ready Urban open to privatizing services
to take action
By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES
jandes@timesleader.com
Luzerne County Council
candidate Michael A. Chro-
bak said he doesn’t want to
be an outside observer of
county government any-
more.
“For years like most peo-
ple in any county or city or
state, we all play armchair
quarterback. We all read
the newspaper and say,
‘Boy if I had that job, I
would do this, this and this
differently,’” the Dallas
man recently told a Times
Leader endorsement pan-
el.
“I decided to not be an
armchair quarterback, to
give it a try to see what I
could do as a
common ev-
eryday citi-
zen,” he said.
He said he’s
qualified for
the post because he’s a life-
time resident of the county,
a father, husband, home-
owner and small landlord.
“I know what it takes to
balance a home budget. I
know what it takes to fix
problems in your house
and I know how much de-
sire you need to get things
in the black,” he said.
He said he’s tired of news
reports discussing prob-
lems in county govern-
ment.
“I myself feel that the on-
ly thing anyone should
know about Luzerne Coun-
ty government is that it’s
there,” he said. “I think we
need to get back to a time
when Luzerne County just
took care of their residents.
That was what they did. It
was their job. It wasn’t any-
thing that was newswor-
thy.”
Chrobak said he voted
for the home rule charter.
He’d like to see a manager
who is a “superhero” able
to fix the world’s problems,

He oversees daily oper-

He voted for the county’s

would prefer a manager from

Nadolny is part of a union-

union workers “have to be

“You have to do your job.
You have to show up on time

Union workers must be
“pro-business,” making their

continue to employ people,
he said.

scour county contracts and pur-
chase orders looking for ways to save
money, with the belief that $10 here
and $20 there quickly adds up to
hundreds and thousands of dollars.
He’d also be open to privatizing
services.
“I believe in limited

shouldn’t be involved.

access to county services and infor-
mation.
He would also like to treat the
county website as a “portal” to elim-

The county and its 76 municipal-

try to facilitate partnerships among
municipal leaders to combine more
services.
He said he will not vote for a tax

County unions are “going to have
to start making some concessions”
to bring their benefits more in line
with the private sector, Urban said.
“It has to be run like a business or
else people are going to go broke and
the county’s eventually just going to
go belly up,” he said.
Hiring a strong county manager
must take “priority over all” after
council members are elected, said
Urban, who voted against the home
rule charter in large part because the
manager was not elected.
“That person has to be upstand-
ing, be full of integrity, honest and

Ruckno wants to attack the

He supports “zero-based bud-

to submit and justify proposed ex-
penditures from scratch, rather
than basing requests on past allo-
cations. Former county Budget/
Finance Chief Tom Pribula had
been attempting to implement this
strategy.
Outsourcing more government
services must also be considered,
Ruckno said.
“If it’s more economical, I think
we should do that,” he said.
Council members must scruti-
nize what’s offered in collective
bargaining agreements that come
up for renegotiation, he said.

research their concerns and ad-
dress them with the entire county
council if warranted.
Urban said she would also
“stand on my own two feet” as a
council member.
“I’m not easily fooled. I do not
associate with the old boy or old
girl network, and I will never com-
promise my ethics. I will never

tegrity of govern-
ment,” the Wilkes-

ment panel.
Urban said she’s had a lifelong
interest in history and govern-
ment and “will not tolerate any-
thing less than good govern-
ment.”
She said she did not support the
home rule charter because she be-
lieves the county’s past problems
stemmed from some of the people
elected and hired to run the coun-
ty, not the government structure.
Urban advises voters to choose
11 council members who “don’t
have an agenda” related to jobs or
contracts.
She said many families she’s
met through campaigning are in
“serious financial trouble.”

right track.”
“I think we’ve had too much fa-
voritism, too much cronyism, nep-
otism. All these things need to be
curbed once and for all. They cost
us money. They cost the taxpayers
money,” he said.
Ruckno said he’d support a na-
tional search for a county manager
and wants a “qualified” profession-
al with no political or familial ties
to the county. The manager’s abil-
ity to run the county without polit-
ical intervention or influence is es-
“I will basically keep these peo-
ple in mind in every decision that
I make or that is proposed,” Urban
said.
She believes the county should
start a program to help provide
funding to property owners who
can’t afford to make repairs to
their structures, saying blight de-
values neighboring structures.
Staff cuts and spending reduc-
tions, including ones in judicial
branches, will likely be necessary
to whittle down the county’s out-
standing debt, Urban said.
She would not vote for a tax in-
crease.
“I have seen enough wasteful
spending in the past and am not
going to be a part of it,” Urban
said.
She wants a national search for
the county manager but said ap-
plicants must be carefully
screened to determine whether
they have any relatives or close
friends who work in the county.
Urban would like the person to
have government experience and
possibly be a certified public ac-
countant or have a master’s de-
gree or Ph.D. in political science.
She’d also prefer the manager –
male or female – be married with
children, saying people in “family
situations” know what it’s like to
juggle bills and mortgages and
seek out quality education for
their children.

“I’m certain that there are qual-
ified people around the country

Licata has public

Luzerne County Council can-
didate Salvatore Licata said he’s
prepared to be a part of the new
home rule government because
he has a history in public ser-
vice.
He has volunteered to serve
on various government and
community organization boards
throughout the county for near-
ly 35 years, includ-
ing the Greater
Pittston YMCA
board, the Lu-
zerne-Wyoming
County Drug and
Alcohol Commission, the Pitt-
ston Parking Authority and the
Luzerne County Transportation
Authority.
“I’ve always been able to sit
down with people and listen to
what they have to say and work
with them and come up with
some consensus,” the retired
school teacher from Pittston re-
cently told a Times Leader en-
dorsement panel.
The charter’s creation of an
11-member council showed a
desire to involve “everyday peo-
ple” in county government, he
said.
Licata said he did not support
the charter because he wasn’t
convinced that the outgoing
government structure was bad.

Luzerne County Council can-
didate Linda McClosky Houck
said her ability to tackle prob-
lems and make decisions would
help in the new county govern-
ment.
“I think I’m good at decision-
making and problem solving,”
the Wyoming Valley West
School District teacher recently
told a Times Leader endorse-
ment panel.
“I have the abil-
ity to ask questions
when it’s needed. I
think people who
have dealt with me
have realized that I tend to try
to cut to the heart of the matter
and ask pertinent questions that
are going to help us to resolve
issues and continue on the right
road,” said the Kingston resi-
dent.
McClosky Houck said she’s al-
so a firm believer in establishing
processes.
She decided to run because
the switch to home rule present-
ed an opportunity for the “aver-
age citizen” to get involved in
county government.
“You get to a point in your life
He said he’s studied govern-
ments as a history teacher for
35 years and has concluded that
it’s the people who run govern-
ment who make it good or bad.
“Now that there is a charter,
I’m going to go along with it,
and I want to be part of it, and I
want to try to do the best I can
to make this experiment that
the people of our county have
chosen to accept worthwhile
and workable,” he said.
Developing a “sense of coop-
eration” among the county gov-
ernment, citizens and business
community will be one of his
main goals, he said.
He said he wants people to
“start getting a good feeling
about the county they live in
again.”
Licata wants a manager with
experience in county govern-
ment, preferably someone from
the region. A manager from the
area will have a “better handle”
on the region’s needs and
wants, he said. Hiring someone
from outside the area would al-
so send a message to business-
es and industry that local lead-
ers don’t believe they have a lo-
cal person “good enough to run
the government,” he said.
“That weighs really heavy on
my mind,” he said, noting that
he will be one of only 11 votes
on the matter.
home rule charter but did not
support the one that passed
last year, in large part because
he does not believe charter
drafters fully listened to pub-
lic input. The charter passed
because people wanted
change, he said, noting that he
does not believe voters knew
“what they’d be dealing with”
regarding the new system.
“I feel as though they have
to have direction, and I feel I
can offer that,” James said.
“This county’s a good county.
It just needs direction.”
He promises to aggressively
cut spending and believes the
county is overstaffed. “The as-
sistants have assistants.
There’s a lot to be looked at,”
he said.
“I would want to work my
butt off in every way possible,
(examine) every opening, be-
fore I’d want taxes raised an-
other iota. If I’m suffering,
other people are suffering,”
James said, referring to the
burden of property taxes.
He said his aunt and uncle
where you think if I’m going to
make a difference, I’d better
start trying now,” she said.
She compared it to a school
board, saying council members
will be expected to make in-
formed decisions and choose
the “correct people” to run the
county.
“Just as a school board mem-
ber doesn’t have to know how to
teach calculus, they just have to
know how to hire the right peo-
ple who know how to do that; I
think the same thing applies to
the county council,” she said,
noting that she supported the
county’s switch to home rule.
She wants a manager with ex-
perience overseeing an entity
the size of the county, either
public or private. People skills
and the ability to solve prob-
lems and negotiate are other
manager qualities high on her
list. A local person may better
understand the area, she said,
but McClosky Houck would
consider all qualified applicants
and wouldn’t want to restrict
the field to local applicants.
McClosky Houck said she
would consider any options to
reduce county spending, though
she said she couldn’t present

He’s starting his fourth

Knick said he owns a small

He once had two employ-

his services because of the

noting that collection rates
also increased.

factions.

No hikes for Dombroski-Gebhardt Curry: Honesty in
By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES

Luzerne County Council
candidate Joyce Dombroski-
Gebhardt said she won’t be
government critical
afraid to cut spending if she’s
elected.
“I absolutely do not want
taxes raised, especially for the
senior citizens,” the Kingston
woman recently told a Times
Leader endorsement panel. “I
firmly believe we will be able
to make the cuts
without raising
taxes.”
Lowering the
county’s roughly
$460 million debt
is also “of utmost concern,”
she said.
She cites three areas she
wants to target: making union
contracts more uniform, cut-
ting out unnecessary duplicat-
ed services and reducing staff.
She supports staggered lay-
offs of all county workers to
save money but said she’d
have to research the specifics
of how those furloughs would
work.

Bednar touting
her experience
By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES
jandes@timesleader.com
Luzerne County Council
candidate Michelle Bednar
said her campaign slogan –
“Concern for Luzerne” –
summarizes her approach.
“That’s exactly how I
feel,” the Conyngham Town-
ship woman recently told a
Times Leader en-
dorsement panel.
She said her
more than 20
years of experi-
ence in the bank-
ing field have pre-
pared her to serve on coun-
cil.
“With my manager back-
ground and being with busi-
ness, working with figures
and budgets, I feel I could be
a good asset to the county,”
Bednar said.
She also has served as a
municipal tax collector in
her township since 2009.
Tax collectors provide
one-on-one interaction with
the public, she said, noting
that she meets property
owners at their homes if
they’re not able to pay taxes
during office hours. The pos-
sibility that elected tax col-
lectors could be eliminated
under the new government
prompted her to vote
against the home rule char-
ter and piqued her interest
in running for council, she
“The 11 who will be elected
come November would be the
legislators that need to get
the job done in this county
and make home rule work
and rid this county of corrup-
tion once and for all,” she
said.
Dombroski-Gebhardt said
she supported the county’s
home rule charter.
“It’s much more difficult to
corrupt six people than one
commissioner,” she said.
She supports a nationwide
search for the manager and
wants someone with experi-
ence operating a home rule
government system.
Dombroski-Gebhardt said
she’s running because she
wants to improve the county
for future generations.
“I knew that when there
was enough evidence to indi-
cate a change was needed in
this county to eliminate the
culture of corruption. I felt
that it’s time to step forward,”
she said.
She points to her experi-
ence as a stenographer in the
we can do it if we find the
right candidates who are
willing to work toward that
goal.”
Dobash said she has been
following the drafting of the
county’s new home rule
charter but did not support
it, in large part because the
manager was not elected
and council members will
be chosen countywide, rath-
er than by districts.
She said she communicat-
es regularly with county
Controller Walter Griffith
and would seek his input on
ways to reduce spending.
She wants a manager who
understands county govern-
ment and has strong com-
munication skills. She be-
lieves candidates from all
areas of the country should
be considered but does not
support an “expensive proc-
ess” to attract applicants.
“He must be a person of
high integrity and also be
said.
Switching to in-house
county tax collection could
negatively impact customer
service and lead to addition-
al fees for copies and other
services, she said.
Bednar said she wants to
help make the new govern-
ment successful.
“I don’t want it to fail,” she
said.
She said the new county
manager should understand
Luzerne County and have a
background in government
and business.
She said she doesn’t have a
specific platform, preferring
to allow voters to question
her. For example, one gen-
tleman asked her opinion of
the county’s Wyoming Val-
ley Levee fee and others
have sought her stance on
unions.
Bednar said she believes
the levee fee should contin-
ue to be paid by the property
owners protected by the lev-
ee and not the entire county
because “that wouldn’t be
fair.”
As for unions, her husband
is a union electrician. Bed-
nar said she’s “on both
sides,” supporting unions
and the taxpayers.
She said she does not want
to cut jobs but would sup-
port eliminating positions
as workers retire.

Evans backs cuts
over tax increase
By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES
jandes@timesleader.com
Luzerne County Council candi-
date Blythe H. Evans III decided
he wanted to be a part of the coun-
ty’s new home rule government as
he was walking in Plymouth,
where he owns two businesses.
Evans said he hopes to have
children someday and wants to try
to lower taxes, create awareness
about protecting natural re-
sources and focus on meeting the
needs of residents.
“I want to put citi-
zens first, and I want
to protect the envi-
ronment,” the Ply-
mouth man recently
told a Times Leader
endorsement panel.
Evans owns and operates Evans
Rentals L.L.C. and SoundCloud
Studios, a sound recording and
mastering facility. The latter
evolved from his love of music.
While campaigning door to
door, Evans said he’s encountered
voters who are frustrated with pol-
iticians and concerned about fi-
nances.
“We’ve got a great demographic
here, and I just feel it would be a
real shame if someone didn’t try
to help them,” he said. “I want to
let them know that there are peo-
ple in government who care about
them.”
Evans said he’s a team player
who will try to build consensus on
the board to “get things done.”

Luzerne County Council candi-
date Elaine Maddon Curry said she
has a track record of fighting for hon-
esty and transparency in govern-
ment.
“I think that I’ve fought that busi-
ness-as-usual mentality whenever
I’ve had a seat at the table,” she re-
cently told a Times Leader endorse-
ment panel.
Maddon Curry served on the Ha-
zleton Area School Board for eight
years, helping to oversee an operat-
ing budget of more than $120 mil-
lion, similar to the county’s $125 mil-
lion spending plan.
During her term as
board president, she
led an effort to remove
board members from
the teacher-hiring
process.
“What I saw occur-
ring was the name on the page mat-
tered more than the qualifications,
and I felt that as time went on we
were letting down the good candi-
dates who should have been getting
a job but they were not connected,”
she said.
“That’s a problem that I think is
endemic to this whole county.”
She also released full agendas to
the media three days before all com-
mittee and board meetings.
Maddon Curry was also appointed
by county commissioners to the Lu-
zerne County Community College
board of trustees and the county Di-
versity Commission. She said it took
her two weeks to think about joining
the community college board be-
cause of its political reputation.
“I have told this to every board I’m
on: I will not leave my reputation on
the board table. When I come on the
board it’s not business as usual. You
need to be accountable. I need to un-
derstand what you’re doing. I don’t
want to see jobs being given or peo-
ple behind the scenes asking for spe-
cial favors,” she said, noting that the
LCCC board has added a code of eth-
ics and conflict-of-interest policy
since she got on board.
Maddon Curry said she ran for the
school board because the adminis-
tration had refused to address com-
plaints about an employee who was
politically connected. She did not
support home rule, in large part be-
cause she’s concerned that the new
manager will be “answerable” to a
majority of council members instead
charter and said he wants to find a
manager with finance experience,
a vision for the future and the abil-
ity to energize people and “keep
everything moving.” He would
prefer a candidate from the re-
gion, believing a local manager
would better understand the area.
Evans said he believes the 11
new council members should initi-
ate their own search for a new
manager, rather than relying on
information supplied by a home
rule transition committee that
will start the preliminary recruit-
ment.
“I feel that just in terms of start-
ing fresh and keeping things fresh,
we should start from scratch,”
Evans said.
He said he would seek recom-
mendations from county Controll-
er Walter Griffith and the new
county manager.
“It’s going to take a team to real-
ly make some headway on this,”
he said.
Evans said he’d support cuts
over a tax increase, though he can-
not provide specifics on areas that
may warrant reductions until the
council members take office and
analyze operating budgets.
“If elected, I would do every-
thing I could to lower taxes,” he
said.
He said council members would
have to heavily weigh any adjust-
ments to union contracts that
come up for renegotiation.
“You don’t want to break up
anybody’s livelihood,” he said.

“I definitely wanted to be part
of this wave for a
change,” he said.
Rome said he un-
derstands the chal-
lenges of working in
government
through his position as a mainte-
nance mechanic in the Pittston
Area School District for 11 years.
In past years, Rome said he ob-
served less-qualified people re-
ceive positions in the school dis-
trict because they had the “magic
five votes.”
“That’s inspired me to take a
position to have a say so things
like this won’t happen,” Rome
said.
Elected officials who suspect
wrongdoing and look the other
way are “just as guilty” as people
who commit unlawful acts, he
said. He said he would keep an
eye on fellow county council
members and would expect them
to watch his actions.

put on a work assignment that
was “undesirable” for its hours, lo-
cation and duties. He challenged
the decision and received a mone-
tary award and restoration of his
previous assignment.
“When you get a job in the sys-
tem, it’s not a good idea to have a
voice,” he said.
Rome said he was interviewed
by area union leaders but was not
selected to be part of their en-
dorsed slate of 11 Democratic
council candidates. He said he has
experience negotiating contracts
in his current and previous jobs.
“I’m not going to say I’m pro-
union or pro-management,” he
said. “The ship is sinking, and
what could we do to keep it
afloat?”
He said there’s “fat to trim” in
the county, but he could not pro-
vide specifics at this time. He said
he would support staff reductions
“without hurting individuals” by

Rome wants to see a county

he’s concerned there would be po-

The U.S. Conference of Mayors
2011 says nearly 17 percent of may-
ors in U.S. cities with populations
over 30,000 are female for a total of
1,163.
According to the PA Center for
Women and Politics at Chatham
University, 32 state counties have
no women representation on their
board of commissioners or county
council. Five have above 80 per-
cent, while 27 have between 30 and
39 percent.
The Pennsylvania Bar Associ-
ation has about a 30 percent mem-
bership of women. There are
27,568 members of the bar, which
is an elective membership that not
every attorney has to belong to,
with 8,361 women.
Additionally, Pennsylvania has
never elected a female governor or
U.S. senator.
And while pinpointing the rea-
soning behind why women have
not played a predominant role in
government is not an easy one,
some speculate it’s due to women
wearing many hats throughout
their lives or not wanting to deal
with the “good old boys” club.

the past year. That slight gain of
1,656 was good enough for 23rd
nationally.
“This is a tremendous accom-
plishment to be ranked so high
among all daily papers in the
country,” said Prashant Shitut,
president of the Wilkes-Barre
Publishing Co. and The Times
Leader. “We continue to be the
leading regional media company
in the products we publish, in in-
novation, quality and once again,
audience growth.”

with stereotypes.
“What do women know about
roads or collecting garbage?” Ma-
donna said of the stereotypes some
believe. “It’s not something women
would do. For a long time, they
were assumed to be men’s roles.”
But, those roles are changing as
women slowly, at a glacial rate Ma-
donna says, step into the public
realm.
State Rep. Phyllis Mundy, D-
Kingston, said when she first ran
for office more than two decades
ago, she was the only elected wom-
an in Luzerne County in a state of-
fice.
“Now, there are four of us,” Mun-
dy said, in reference to Sen. Lisa
Baker, R-Lehman Township, Rep.
Tarah Toohil, R-Butler Township
and Rep. Karen Boback, R-Harveys
Lake.
“I felt a special responsibility to
do a good job and be a good exam-
ple for the young women of our ar-
ea,” Mundy said. “We bring a wom-
an’s perspective and a different set
of life experiences to public office.”
Men typically took public ser-
vice jobs, Madonna said, because
they were places men could make
decent money for their families.
Eventually, that turned into the
“good old boys” club where men
would only nominate other men.
That became a dilemma in the
employment and cultural world,
Madonna said, and conditions that
made it difficult for women to get
into office.
Now, Madonna said, women
must take on roles of both caretak-
er and worker, though some still do
not want to serve in the legislature,
for example, because they would
have to be away from their families
100 days a year.
“More and more families have
shared responsibility, and women
are more on the side of reform,”
Madonna said. “Both (political)
parties are more actively recruiting
women, and they realize that’s an
advantage since there are more
women voters than men.”

Pennsylvania newspapers rank
among the best in the country in
terms of audience gain. Newspa-

the three on this list, are provid-
ing great journalism to their com-
munities and readers – and it’s
paying off,” Henning said.
“We have an amazing team and

why The Times Leader is among
the best media companies in the

Former Luzerne County Commissioner Rose Tucker was appointed to fill the seat left vacant by Todd
Vonderheid in 2007.
But when it comes to registered
voters, women outnumber men.
According to the Rutgers Center
for American Women and Politics,
in the 2008 presidential election,
there were 78.1million women reg-
istered to vote, while there were
68.2 million men registered to vote.
Changing times?
In recent years, Luzerne Coun-

County, Tina Polachek Gartley, and
the third female commissioner,
Maryanne Petrilla, were elected.
Ethel Price was elected in the late
60s as the county’s first female
commissioner.

“Our audience growth is ac-
tually the best, No. 1 in the coun-
try, because we excel beyond in-
dustry standards in a competitive
market,” said Connor. “The rest
of these newspapers are in single

Berzanski is serving as campaign

for two people: her mother and
Gelb.
“If my mom was here, she would
want me to do it,” Berzanski said of
her campaign role, and her mother

“She was a trailblazer. She was a

This is not the first time The

In 2009, the newspaper tied for

“The Times Leader has ranked
in the top 20 of all newspapers in
the country for audience growth
three years in a row for a simple
reason,” Executive Editor Joe
Butkiewicz said. “Our staff is ag-
gressive about providing news
the way people want it, in print
and on the Web. This year we re-
ceived more Keystone Awards
than any other newspaper in Lu-
zerne or Lackawanna County,
which reflects the quality of our
products. And this audit demon-
strates the continued strong
growth of our online and print au-
dience.”
Recent experience
Petrilla, who was a previous
county controller and Butler Town-
ship manager, said gender played a
role in her candidacy for Luzerne
County commissioner, but that vot-
ers said the office needed a woman.
“People were saying women
know how to get things done, and
typically women stick together and
will vote for you because we rally
around each other,” Petrilla said.
When she first became commis-
sioner, Petrilla said she didn’t feel
like an equal.
“I have no objection to people
calling me Maryanne, but I noticed
other people wouldn’t call other
commissioners by their first
names. Is it a lack of respect or a
comfort level? Either way, I take no
offense to it.”
Now, Petrilla said she feels like
an equal among the other two com-
missioners and that over time she
had to develop a confidence to
speak her mind and contribute to
have people listen.
Petrilla said she feels it’s hard to
pinpoint why there are fewer wom-
en in public service, but suggested
it could be because women have
other roles, like mother and care-
taker.
“Women wear so many hats in
their life, public service doesn’t
seem as attractive as it does for
men,” Petrilla said.
The commissioner chairwoman
said she encourages women to
campaign and serve in public of-
fice, and that women have a differ-
ent perspective on things and can
“think outside the box” rather than
“trying to reinvent the wheel.
“Gender is becoming less of an
issue in public office,” Petrilla said.
“Women now have the confidence
and education to be competitive.”

were heavily scripted affairs. He
dyed and trimmed his beard for
the cameras, then shot and resh-

and lighting were just right.
The videos were among the
evidence seized by Navy SEALs
after a pre-dawn raid Monday
that killed bin Laden in his
walled Pakistani compound.
The movies, along with com-
puter disks, thumb drives and
handwritten notes, reveal that
bin Laden was still actively in-

firms how important it was to
go after Bin Laden," said CIA
director Leon Panetta in a state-
ment Saturday. "Since 9/11, this
is what the American people
have expected of us. In this crit-
ical operation, we delivered.”
The videos were offered as
further proof of bin Laden’s
death. President Barack Obama
decided this week not to release
photos of bin Laden’s body,
which were deemed too grue-
some to reveal. The U.S. has
said it confirmed bin Laden’s
death using DNA. Al-Qaida has
confirmed the death of its foun-
der.
Officials said the clips shown
to reporters were just part of the
largest collection of senior ter-
rorist materials ever collected.
The evidence seized during the
raid also includes phone num-
bers and documents that offi-
cials hope will help break the
back of the organization behind
the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist at-
Among the material handed
out was a propaganda video, ap-
parently intended for public re-
lease, entitled "Message to the
American People." The U.S.
government released the video
without sound and said it was
likely filmed sometime last fall.
Bin Laden has not released a
video since 2007.
U.S. intelligence official
would not confirm that the vid-
eo of bin Laden in the makeshift
office was filmed at the Pakista-
ni compound, but they have
said they believe he has been
holed up there for as long as six
years.
The video clearly shows the
terror leader choosing and
changing channels with a re-
mote control which he points at
what appears to be a satellite ca-
ble box. U.S. officials have previ-
ously said there was a satellite
dish for television reception but
no Internet or phone lines ran

prohibited on the compound.

Motherhood: Its presence is a present all by itself

IT WAS A
moment I will
never forget.
It was May,
2007 and my
husband, Da-
vid, and I were
expecting our first child. But a
few days after Mother’s Day,
that joy turned to sadness when
I had a miscarriage. Just weeks
earlier, we heard the baby’s
heartbeat. We didn’t understand
what had happened.
In the weeks that followed,
we learned the baby that I had
lost had a reciprocal transloca-
tion – a possible reason for the
miscarriage.
Two years later, I became
pregnant again. This time the
pregnancy was going better –
there was a heartbeat on the
IRENE

COMMENTARY
first ultrasound and it was still
there when we had the second.
We thought everything was
going OK. But again I miscar-
ried.
We started to explore other
options and contact fertility spe-
cialists. But they didn’t give me
much hope. My hope of becom-
ing a mom was fading.
Then last year, I was sched-
uled to have a routine medical
procedure. I thought that I
should take a pregnancy test
just as a precaution. And I
found out I was pregnant for
the third time.
My husband and I were very
nervous when we went for that
first ultrasound, but as soon as
we heard the heartbeat it was
music to our ears. From previ-
ous experience, we knew what
could happen, and we proceed-
ed with caution, telling only our
immediate family.
I was so cautious that when
the nurse offered to tell me the
due date, I told her that I want-
ed to wait. I just couldn’t bear
to find out and then miscarry.
The nurse said she understood.
She handed me the circular
calendar that had the estimated
due date and gave me a little
advice: She said, “If I were you,
I would get my Christmas shop-
ping done in October.” When I
finally got the nerve to look at
the due date, I couldn’t believe
it: The delivery was expected to
be Dec. 24, Christmas Eve. It
seemed like the perfect present
after everything that we had
gone through.
As we progressed with the
pregnancy, I got to enjoy the
joys such as finding out the ba-
by’s gender, feeling his first
movements and seeing pictures
of him on the ultrasound. After
the miscarriages, these were ex-
periences I never imagined that
I would get to.
In one picture, the baby
looked like he was praying, so
we dubbed him our “miracle ba-
by.” In another ultrasound he
was giving us a thumbs up (as if
to say everything is going to be
OK, Mom and Dad.)
And as each month passed,
my husband would always bring
me home a red rose to mark our
little baby’s development. I later
found out that I wasn’t the only
one to whom he gave roses. Be-
fore I was pregnant, he visited
his grandmothers’ graves to ask
their help to help us have a
baby. So when the pregnancy
happened, he would return
there each month and place a
rose as a thank you to them.
We also had family members
and friends praying for our
“miracle baby.” Some said ros-
aries, others lit candles and an-
other gave me a St. Gerard
medal, the patron of expectant
mothers, which I carried with
me every day.
But just as we were experi-
encing the positive side of preg-
nancy – three months before my
baby was due – my dad passed
away. It was one of the hardest
times that I had ever had to go
through, but I knew that I had
to stay strong for the baby. My
dad would have wanted me to.
As the due date approached, I
was starting to get nervous.
Then last year on Dec. 28, at
12:32 a.m., I gave birth to a
beautiful baby boy. When I
looked for the first time into the
eyes of little David – the name
means beloved – I realized I
was truly blessed to be his
mother.
And that was another mo-
ment I will never forget.

Anything Worth Having is Worth Working For....

Several years ago, I joined a local gym. I worked out for 1-1 1/2 hours, 5-6 days a
week. When the year was over, I felt more flexible and my cardio improved. I joined
to improve those but I had also joined to lose weight and I did! One whole pound,
you read it right - One WHOLE POUND in a year.

Just recently I joined another local gym, CLOUD9 PERSONAL TRAINING, in

Drums. I joined for the same reasons, flexibility, cardio and weight loss. It has been about
90 days and I am more flexible, my cardio is better and my confidence and strength are
improving daily. I am still working out about 1-1 1/2 hours a day, 5-6 days a week. 90 days
is about 1/4 of a year. So based on my prior experience, I should have lost a 1/4 of a pound
but I haven’t. I’ve lost 20lbs! You read it right, 20LBS.

Anything worth having is worth working for.....

So stop playing around. Get serious. Stop in and see what Cloud9 has to offer. I know
what a difference it has made for me.

Nine King’s College students were recently inducted into the
college’s Mu Delta Chapter of Phi Alpha Theta, a national honor
society for history. Phi Alpha Theta was founded in 1921 to pro-
mote the study of history by the encouragement of research,
good teaching, publication and the exchange of learning and
thought among historians. Candidates for membership in the
King’s chapter must have completed at least four undergraduate
history courses with a minimum grade-point-average of 3.1 and a
minimum GPA of 3.0 in two-thirds of all undergraduate courses
completed. New members, from left, first row, are Kelly Sandrock,
Jennie Hampton and Marissa Berardocco. Second row: Alex Wat-
ty, Sarah Beyer, Amanda Vasiliou, James Holland and Charles

without her support and involve-
ment,” Gus said.
When the Redington was still a
hotel, the Salvation Army was lo-
cated next door, and the Genettis
bought the Salvation Army build-
ing when the corps needed a
larger space and built a new cita-
del next to the former building.
The Genettis turned the old ci-
tadel into a banquet hall, nam-
ing it Castle Fondo after the
town in Tyrol where Gus Sr. was
born — Castelfondo.
Over the years, the Genettis
involvement with the Salvation
Army grew, from ringing a bell
before Christmas through the
Rotary Club to donating money
and food to the annual dinner.
Genetti’s is also one of the ho-
tels that temporarily houses dis-
placed families.
And while the Genettis have
been involved in numerous
charitable endeavors over the
years, they both have causes
dear to their hearts.
Val’s focus had been with the
Wilkes-Barre General Hospital
Auxiliary.
“Just the camaraderie, and we
were able to donate lots of mon-
ey to the hospital, millions of
dollars, and established some
new departments. One year, we
donated $1.5 million for new fur-
niture for patient rooms,” she re-
called.
Gus has always loved librar-
“I have what you might say is a driving personality. So when I get
involved with something, I have to be able to make a difference or I’m
not that interested. And with each one of the organizations that I’ve
selected, I think I’ve been able to make an impact.”

ies, so work with the Osterhout
was a natural fit.
“I’ve always loved libraries.
Libraries were where I used to
go when I was very young. Walk-
ing through the portals of a li-
brary, you could go anywhere,
be anything, do anything
through those books, and you
could take the books home for
free. I’m astounded that librar-
ies still do that. It’s one of the
best institutions in America,”
Gus said.
During his tenure as chair-
man of the buildings and
grounds committee, the Oster-
hout was able to install a com-
puter lab and renovate the en-
tire facility.
“I have what you might say is a
driving personality. So when I
get involved with something, I
have to be able to make a differ-
ence or I’m not that interested.
And with each one of the organi-
zations that I’ve selected, I think
I’ve been able to make an im-
pact,” Gus said.
The Tamburs
Bob and Ginny Tambur were
also transplants into the Wyom-
ing Valley, she being a native of
Reading and he from Harding.
The couple met in Lewistown
in 1963 when Ginny was work-
ing at a bank during the summer
while earning a degree in En-
glish literature at Gettysburg
College. Bob was working for a
financial services company and
stopped in the bank weekly on
business.
When they first met, Bob said,
“I was at the bottom of the bar-
rel; I was a collector.”
“He started at the bottom and
really made his way up,” Ginny
said.
After spending the first sever-
al years of their married lives on
the West Coast and upstate New
York while Bob worked his way
up the ladder in the financial
services industry, the couple
settled in the Wyoming Valley in
1969.
— Gus Genetti
Bob worked as regional vice
president in charge of the Mid-
Atlantic states for Sebrite Corp.
before founding his own finan-
cial services company, Tammac
Corp., in 1976.
“It’s a financial services busi-
ness and we were basically orig-
inating manufactured housing
loans and then we were in the
auto leasing business, originat-
ing auto leases for banks, and we
owned a credit bureau,” Bob
said.
They started up the Arena
Hub shopping center in Wilkes-
Barre Township in 1997 and
brought their son, Robert Tam-
burro, into the business and he
now manages that end of the
business as well as Blue Ridge
Trail Golf Club.

daughter, Liza Rolland, managed
the restaurant until she became a
mother.
Since then, Bob and Ginny
have served on boards and com-
mittees of numerous area non-
profits and in 2003, with their
children, founded the Tambur
Family Foundation, which pro-
vides funding to many nonprof-
its and institutions to help ex-
pand services, create new pro-
grams and continue good work.
They are excited about their
most recent work to establish a
neo-natal intensive care unit
for premature babies at Geisin-
ger Wyoming Valley Medical
center in Plains Township. The
closest similar unit is in Dan-
ville.
The Tamburs live on a farm in
the Chase section of Jackson
Township, where they raise Peru-
vian Paso and standard-bred
horses along with some goats and
sheep.
Bob said he and Ginny accept
their award “with great humility.
It’s something we never expected.
And we hope that by accepting
this, we can help other people.”
Ginny noted that the money
generated by this event “goes to
such a great cause, that’s the
so grateful to all of our friends
who have accepted the invita-
tion and are going to attend be-
cause all that money goes to the
Kirby Family Center.”
The family center provides up
to six months of temporary shel-
ter for homeless families in the ar-
ea.
Bobbie Steever, the event coor-
dinator, said the annual dinner is a
major fund raiser and more than
$100,000 has been raised this year
in ticket sales, program book ads
and monetary and in-kind dona-
tions.
Gus Genetti said he and Val
are “deeply honored to have
been selected for the Salvation
Army Others Award because we
know many people who came be-
fore us personally and I think our
accomplishments fail in compar-
ison to many of the others.” And
they are pleased to know their
involvement is helping the fam-
ily center.
Ginny Tambur said she and
Bob accept the Community Ser-
vice Award “with full recogni-
tion of all the people in this Val-
ley who work very, very hard on
a daily basis to improve the lives
of others, most of whom go un-
recognized.”

But in the early morning of Septem-
ber 11, 2001, Mike Boyle Sr. had no
indication of how drastically our whole
nation was about to change. Neither
did anyone else.
Boyle was a New York City ironwork-
er, Local 40 at the time, when two
hijacked airplanes crashed into the
Twin Towers, toppling them and taking
the lives of thousands of innocent peo-
ple in a terrorist attack plotted by Osa-
ma bin Laden.
“I was on 59th Street, on Columbus
Circle, when the planes hit,” said
Boyle, a Swoyersville native and Drums
resident. “I was working at the AOL
Time Warner Building. The next day,
we were up there picking bodies up,
cutting steel.”
He picked up a lot more he’d rather
not remember, but can’t disregard.
“I have some things burned in my
mind I’ll never forget,” Boyle said.
“When you’re throwing body parts into
body bags … it’s pretty horrific.”
Then he paused.
“At that point, I didn’t even know
who Osama bin Laden was.”

Sports: Our unifying force

So forgive Mike Boyle for rejoicing
over the death of another human being
when he learned of bin Laden’s death
last week at the hands of a brave group
of U.S. Navy Seals. Or for taking excep-
tion with America’s detractors who
criticize how bin Laden’s killing was
accomplished.
“He was the number one most want-

he began angrily talking about a fateful
day nearly 10 years ago as if it hap-
pened yesterday. “He smashed air-

Verlander threw his

WILKES-BARRE – Shelley
Black’s impressive showing
against Wyoming Valley Con-
ference track and field competi-
tion took a new form Saturday
at the James Cross Invitational
at Wilkes-Barre Memorial Sta-
dium.
Black took four first-place fin-
ishes, earning a win in two re-
lays and two individual events.
Black secured a dominant win
in the long jump – an event she
normally does not compete in.
Her long jump of 18 feet was
15 inches farther than second-

distraction from horrific tragedy, they
helped America believe everything was
somehow going to be normal again.
So it was no surprise when word of
bin Laden’s death ignited fervent
chants of “USA, USA” at a Phillies
game last Sunday night. Because while
killing bin Laden will never even the
score, it made people feel as if we won
a bit of retribution.
“It makes me feel like the people
who did lose people (on 9-11),” Boyle
said, “it makes me feel good for them.
That they have some closure.”
Maybe the book will never be closed
on loose wing nuts coming at America
with hate in their hearts in the name of
a religion they can’t truly believe in.
But Boyle believes the world just got
better. Perhaps his son won’t have to
see the horrors he did.

Area man takes 2nd
Bornfase Omurwa, of King-
ston, finished second in the
Wendy’s Xterra Trail Racing
Series event at Big Pocono State
Park in Tannersville Saturday.
Omurwa finished the 3.2-mile
dirt and stone trail course in 25
minutes, seven seconds. George
Fair, of Scott Run, won the event
in 23:48.
The race was the first-ever
trail run for Bornfase, an elite
road racer sponsored by the
National Running Center.
“Wow, this was a new experi-
ence” said Bornfase while still
breathless at the finish. “This is
much harder than road running.
The trails cause you to use dif-
ferent muscles …and I felt them
strain as the race went on”.
Xterra racing is not like run-
ning on the road. Athletes have
to bring their own water and
food. They may have to stop and
walk, climb or even crawl up
steep hillsides. They generally
wear rugged “trail running
shoes” with stiff soles. Runners
must be trained in good running
techniques. They must lift their
feet higher and place them
much more carefully then road
runners. Every course is differ-
ent and weather is a large factor
in making how fast an athlete
can negotiate natural terrain.

Paul McGrane. “She could be one
of the top seeds, if not the top seed,
in nine different events.”
Holy Redeemer claimed first
place in the boys and girls meets to
sweep the Cross Invitational.
Coughlin placed second in the
girls, and Scranton Prep finished
second in the boys. Hanover Area
earned third in boys and girls.

is a precursor for the District 2
track and field championships on
May 16-17 in Scranton.
“Unlike last year, there are no
teams that are dominant,” said
McGrane. “It could be an eight-
team (girls) battle for first. It
should be interesting.”
Holy Redeemer’s Fallyn Boich
notched two convincing wins in
the throws. Boich improved on her
seed time by more than 9 feet with
a discus throw of 97 feet, 6 inches.
She won the javelin with a toss of
98-9.
On the boys’ side, Crestwood’s

Doug Bernier of the Yankees gets the force out at second base and throws to first base during an
attempt at a double play in the second inning during Saturday’s game at PNC Field in Moosic.
Yankees rally falls short
Trailing 7-2 in the seventh,
SWB comeback ends in the
ninth with two men on base.
By DAVE ROSENGRANT
drosengrant@timesleader.com
MOOSIC – Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre has overcome deficits be-
fore.
But getting in a five-run hole
to Pawtucket on Saturday after-
noon was too much to overcome
as the Yankees dropped a 7-6 de-
cision to the Red Sox at PNC
Field.
The Yankees trailed 7-2 head-
ing into the seventh inning and
started chipping away. Once
they got within a run, they put
together a rally attempt in the
bottom of the ninth and had two
runners on base when the final
out was recorded.
In the bottom of the seventh,
Justin Maxwell led off with a
home run to trim the disadvan-
tage to 7-3. Gustavo Molina (3-
for-4) then boomed a run-scor-
ing double and Doug Bernier
added a sacrifice fly as SWB
trailed 7-5.
In the eighth, Chris Dickerson
reached on an error and stole
second. Then Jorge Vazquez
knocked him in with a single to
get the Yankees within one at
7-6.
But that’s the closest they
would get.
The Yankees were held in
check by Pawtucket pitcher An-
drew Miller, who only went 3
1/3 innings and walked four, but
he overcame his wildness by
striking out three and giving up
only one hit. He leads the IL in
batting average-against, holding
opponents to a .169 average.
“Andrew threw really well,”
Yankees outfielder Dickerson
said. “There’s a reason he has the
lowest opponents’ batting aver-
age in the league. He has great
stuff. Obviously, his command
wasn’t great, but he held us to

The shock could be felt
throughout the Penguins locker
room after the game.
“I don’t have an answer,” said
captain Ryan Craig. “It’s unbe-
lievable. I don’t know.”
After trading shutouts during
Games 4 and 5 of the East Divi-
sion finals, Game 6 appeared to
be headed in a similar direction
as both goaltenders appeared as
if they would continue to play
like brick walls in net.
But as the game continued on,

one hit.”
SWB was in the big hole be-
cause the Red Sox used the
home run ball to their advan-
tage. They got a two-run shot to
right from Nate Spears in the
fourth to tie the game at 2-2.
After taking a 4-2 lead in the
fifth on runs scoring on a ground
out and a wild pitch, Josh Red-
dick bombed a three-run homer
in the sixth to put Pawtucket up
7-2.
The Yankees had opportuni-
ties as Pawtucket was sloppy in
the field committing four errors.
“I think we definitely could
have taken advantage of some of
those errors,” Dickerson added.
“Anytime they have four errors
and you lose a game by one ru-
n…I think there are a lot of things
that could have been improved
on. I think both teams, it was
pretty sloppy, but tomorrow’s
another day.”
Yankees starter Adam Warren
didn’t get out of the fifth inning.
He only lasted four-plus innings
and left with the bases loaded in
the frame. He allowed four runs
those walls began to show some
cracks.
The Penguins managed to get
three goals by Checkers goalten-
der Mike Murphy – including
two in the second period.
Craig struck first when he
slammed home a rebound from
a Ben Street shot at 7:13 during a
four-on-four situation. Corey
Potter followed with a slap shot
during a five-on-three power
play to make it 2-0.
Heading into the third period
with a 2-0 lead, the Penguins we-
ren’t finished.
During a Charlotte power
play, Vitale gained control of the

(two earned), seven hits and
four walks in his outing. Satur-
day’s loss was the first time this
season SWB lost a game Warren
pitched.
“It was just one of those days
where you don’t feel comfort-
able out there and get behind in
counts and forced to throw fast-
balls,” Warren said. “I kind of got
fastball happy today and didn’t
trust my off-speed stuff.
The Yankees took a 2-0 lead in
the bottom of the second when
Molina poked an RBI-single to
left field and Luis Nunez scored
on an error.
Notes: Former Red Baron
Brandon Duckworth will pitch
today for the PawSox. He spent
parts of two seasons with Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre (2001, 2003)
and posted a 15-3 record in that
time for the team … Warren and
Pawtucket starter Miller were
teammates on the University of
North Carolina team in 2006.
That team reached the College
World Series finals and lost to
Oregon State in the best-of-three
championship … Dan Brewer (2-
for-6) and Jordan Parraz (2-
for-4) each extended their hit-
ting streaks to seven straight
games for the Yankees.
HOW THEY SCORED
YANKEES SECOND: Jordan Parraz walked.
Luis Nunez sacrificed Parraz to second and was
safe on a throwing error by Red Sox pitcher Andrew
Miller; Parraz to third. Nunez stole second. Gustavo

ond baseman Tony Thomas, Nunez scores, Molina

choice. YANKEES 2-0

raced in deep on Murphy, beat-
ing him with a wrist shot from
the right faceoff circle to make it
3-0.
It appeared to be enough to
keep the Checkers at bay, but
with 12 minutes remaining
Charlotte found a few holes in
Brad Thiessen’s wall with the
help of some Penguin miscues in
the defensive end.
Chris Terry cut the Penguins
lead to 3-1 when he roofed a shot
behind Thiessen at 7:24 into the
period.
“That first one gave our bench
some life,” said Checkers head
coach Jeff Daniels.

never left Motion’s barn in Mary-
land.
“Somebody said, ‘Are you sur-
prised to win with a second-tier
horse?”’ Motion said. “I said, ‘I’m
not sure we would categorize him
as a second-tier horse. He’s been
an extraordinary horse to train. I
was so impressed with how he
handled everything.”
Animal Kingdom, who had nev-
er raced on dirt before, reacted to
his new rider the way a champion
should, charging down the middle
of the stretch to win by 23⁄4 lengths.
He ran 11⁄4 miles in 2:02.04 — well
off Secretariat’s track record of
1:59.40 in1973 — and paid $43.80,
$19.60 and $13.
Nehro returned $8.80 and
$6.40, while Mucho Macho Man
was another neck back in third
and paid $7 to show.
Dialed In went off as the 5-1 fa-
vorite for two-time Derby-win-
ning trainer Nick Zito, but fin-
ished eighth.
Mucho Macho Man’s finish for
Kathy Ritvo tied her for second-
best result by a female trainer in
the 137-year-old race. Shelley Ri-
ley saddled Casual Lies to a sec-
ond-place finish in 1992.
Rosie Napravnik was ninth
aboard 8-1 second choice Pants
On Fire in her bid to become the
first female jockey to win.
Animal Kingdom is owned by
Team Valor International, a part-
nership syndicate headed by Bar-
ry Irwin, a former writer for the
Daily Racing Form, the industry’s
bible.
Irwin decided to switch riders
when Albarado took Friday off to
recuperate.
“It was a tough call because I re-
ally like Robby. He’s won a lot of
races for us, but we got 20 part-
ners in this horse,” Irwin said. “We
got a large investment and I had to
do what I thought was best for the
partnership.”
Like Velazquez, Irvin said he
would make it up to Albarado.
Albarado, who won a $345,600
stakes race on the Derby under-
card, found out Friday he was off
Animal Kingdom.
“I’m not happy,” he said after
the race. “Barry Irwin decided he
didn’t think I was fit to ride; he
didn’t know my status or situa-
tion. This just wasn’t my time to-
day.”
Instead, it was Velazquez’s mo-

capitalize on a power play, Char-
lotte’s Brett Sutter cut the lead
to one when he skated across the
crease and lifted the puck over
Thiessen to make it 3-2 at 10:40.
“We were still under control,”
said Penguins head coach John
Hynes. “We’re still doing some
good things and still felt pretty
confident we would win the
game. It wasn’t an all-out panic
attack.”
Thirty seconds later, Terry

SEVE BALLESTEROS: 1957 - 2011 Byrd is the word

at PGA tournament
Jonathan Byrd shoots
5-under 67 to take lead at
Wells Fargo Championship.
DOUG FERGUSON
AP Golf Writer
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Jo-
nathan Byrd lived up to his sur-
name Saturday in the Wells Far-
go Championship.
In the mix with a half-dozen
other players trying to keep in
range of Pat Perez, Byrd ran off
five birdies in six holes to start
the back nine and finished with
a 5-under 67 to take a one-shot
lead into the final round.

“You won’t believe how much

Rondo powers Celtics over Heat
The Associated Press
BOSTON (AP) — Rajon
Rondo had six points and 11
assists despite playing the
fourth quarter with a dislocated
left elbow, and the Boston Cel-
tics beat the Miami Heat 97-81
on Saturday night in Game 3 of
the Eastern Conference semi-
finals.
Miami leads the best-of-seven
series 2-1, with Game 4 on
Monday night in Boston.
Kevin Garnett had 28 points
and 18 rebounds, and Paul
Pierce scored 27 for the defend-
ing East champions, who man-
aged to avoid a 3-0 hole that no
NBA team has ever overcome.
Dwyane Wade had 23 points
and seven assists, and Joel
Anthony continued to contrib-
ute off the bench, scoring 12
with 11 rebounds. LeBron
James scored 15, as he and
Wade combined to make just 14
of 35 shots from the floor.
Rondo crashed to the court
after a tangle with Wade in the
third quarter and had to be
helped off the floor, with his left
arm immobilized by the team
doctor. But he returned for the
start of the fourth and — de-
spite playing with his left arm
dangling at his side — provided
the Celtics with the spark they
had been missing in the first
two games.
In the building where James’
Cleveland career came to an
end, Boston provided its first
real resistance in the series,
jumping to a 16-7 lead in the
opening minutes. After Miami
came back in the second quar-
ter to take the lead, the Celtics
posted a dominating second
half, with Rondo as their emo-
tional leader.
The point guard returned to
the Celtics’ bench at the end of
the third quarter, and the crowd
rose to its feet when a picture
of him on the bench was shown
on the scoreboard. He returned

Club’s a loss away from being
swept by Mavs. Jackson says
he’s retiring after this year.

DALLAS — So this is how it
could end for Phil Jackson, the
guy who turned Michael Jordan
into a champion, Kobe Bryant
and Shaquille O’Neal into cham-
pions, and Bryant into a winner
without O’Neal.
With a sweep.
To the Dallas Mavericks, no
less, a team with a postseason
reputation that is, well, pretty
much the opposite of what folks
associate with Jackson, Bryant
and the Los Angeles Lakers.
The two-time defending cham-
pions trail Dirk Nowitzki and the
Mavs 3-0 going into Game 4 of
their second-round series today.
Dallas hasn’t dominated the se-
ries, but has been the better team
in every fourth quarter, wiping
out deficits in Games 1 and 3.
Bryant considers the final min-
utes his time to shine, yet he
hasn’t done it this series, missing
a potential winner in the opener
and missing 4 of 6 down the
stretch on Friday night. Pau Ga-
sol has been so bad the entire
postseason that Jackson finally
snapped during the last game, un-
characteristically berating his big
man on the sideline.
There’s no reason to hold back
now, not with time running out
on Jackson’s career and on Los
Angeles’ reign. At this point, it
seems more like a question of
when, not if, as all 98 NBA teams
to go down 0-3 have eventually
been eliminated; 59 were swept.
“I told them not to think about
that,” Jackson said Saturday.
“You’re thinking about winning

seed all the way to the Western
Conference finals. They moved
two wins away from that by
remaining undefeated on their
home court this postseason.
They did it with an amazing
comeback in a game the Griz-
zlies couldn’t have looked more
out of synch or rusty early, but
scored the first six points of
overtime to finish off the victo-
ry.
Game 3 that he believed his team
was tough enough to still win the
series.
At the start of practice Satur-
day, he already had his game face
on. He said Jackson’s possible
farewell and the chance of being
swept are not on his mind, and
that teammates “don’t have a
choice” but to believe they can
still win the series. He said the
Mavericks aren’t doing anything
to stop him, he’s “just not getting
(the ball) where I should be.”
Bryant also said Gasol is play-
ing OK, just “not playing at the
high level that we’re accustomed
to seeing him playing.” The num-
bers bear it out. Gasol’s average of
13.4 points is easily the worst of
his playoff career and his 7.8 re-
bounds are the worst of his four
postseasons with the Lakers.
Jackson said Gasol is getting
shoved out of the paint by a knee-
to-the-rear tactic that’s supposed
to be against the rules. He said
the Hornets got away with it in
the first round, so the Mavs have
done it, too.
But there’s more to Gasol’s
struggles. He’s missing shots he
normally makes and is taking
some bad ones. Nowitzki has out-
played him on both ends of the
court — again. The German is 7-0
against the Spaniard in postsea-
son matchups.
During a timeout following a
Nowitzki 3-pointer on Friday
night, Jackson smacked Gasol in
the chest and got in his face. Jack-
son said he does it about once a
year, and Gasol said “it wasn’t
shocking to me or anything.”
“I just wanted to see what point
he was trying to make,” Gasol
said.
The Lakers will have small for-
ward Ron Artest back in the li-
neup for Game 4. He was sus-
pended from the last game.

Defense and goaltending loom
as large reasons the Flyers’
season is over.
DAN GELSTON
AP Sports Writer
PHILADELPHIA — In a season
where winning the Stanley Cup
was the only goal, the Philadel-
phia Flyers fell flat at the end.
A year after advancing to the
Cup finals, the Flyers positioned
themselves as early contenders to
play in June. Philadelphia spent a
chunk of the season atop the East-
ern Conference standings and
were 40-15-6 in late February.
Week by week, the season un-
raveled.
Who’s in net? Who’s on de-
fense?
Questions normally reserved
for the offseason were asked daily
during an abbreviated postseason
run. The Flyers, who had perfect-
ed the postseason comeback, ran
out of rallies and were swept in the
second round by the Boston
Bruins.
The Flyers were swept in a sev-
en-game series for just the sixth
time in franchise history and the
first time since the 1997 Stanley
Cup finals vs. Detroit.
“We never seem to get into it,”
Flyers coach Peter Laviolette said.
“We didn’t get a win. We didn’t get
in the series.”
The No. 1 reason was in net.
The Flyers were repeatedly
frustrated by their goalie situa-
tion. They used three different
starters in 11 games and replaced
the starter a whopping six times.
Sergei Bobrovksy, Brian Bouch-
er and Michael Leighton all got a
crack at winning the starting spot.
None of them was the answer.
Bobrovksy won 28 games in his
rookie season and got the call to
start Game 1 in the first round
against Buffalo. He started Game
2 before he was yanked and didn’t
get a start again until Friday’s 5-1
loss to the Bruins in Game 4.
Boucher won all four postsea-
Predators Ward off
elimination against Canucks
The Associated Press
VANCOUVER, British Colum-
bia — Joel Ward scored two goals
less than five minutes apart early
in the third period and the Nash-
ville Predators stayed alive
against the Vancouver Canucks
with a 4-3 win on Saturday night
in Game 5 of the Western Confer-
ence semifinal series.
David Legwand also scored
twice, Pekka Rinne made 29
saves and Ward had three points
for the Predators, who still trail
3-2 in the best-of-seven series but
will return home for Game 6 on
Monday night.
Ryan Kesler, who had his face
stitched up after he was struck by
a deflected puck, scored his sec-
ond goal of the game with 3:46
left. Kesler has five goals in three
games, but it wasn’t enough to
put the Canucks into the confer-
ence finals yet.
The Predators, in the second
round for the first time in fran-
chise history, won for the first
time when facing elimination.

experiment will likely end. There
are several-high profile free agents
the Flyers could pursue, and per-
haps, find some stability in net.
The Flyers did not have a shut-
out all season.
Flyers general manager Paul
Holmgren refused to blame the
goaltending for the early exit.
“I know it looks bad when you
pull a guy all the time, but goal-
tending, and I have said this be-
fore, I believe is a function of your
team,” he said.
Then consider defense reason
No. 2. Chris Pronger played only
three of the 11 playoff games, a
huge blow for the Flyers, especial-
ly on the power play.
The leaky defense was evident
throughout the Boston series.
Pucks were left to hang near the
crease and the Bruins gladly
pounded them in for easy goals.
Sean O’Donnell and Andrej
Meszaros were upgrades but
more needs to be done.
“Our guys, as a group, I don’t
think raised their game enough to
be able to beat Boston in this se-
ries,” Holmgren said. “Would we
have liked to have had Chris?
Yeah, but the other, I know four of
those guys have a lot of playoff ex-
perience and I don’t think as a
group they played the way we
needed them to play.”
What the Flyers did get was a
clear sign that James van Riems-
dyk and Claude Giroux have
emerged as the future stars of the
franchise.
They had been 0-5.
Coming off a two-point effort
in a Game 4 loss, Ward one-timed
a cross-ice pass from Mike Fisher
past the blocker of Roberto Luon-
go to put Nashville ahead 3-2 at
1:14 of the third. He pounced on a
turnover inside the left circle 4:31
later and quickly snapped a shot
past Luongo’s glove to make it a
two-goal lead.
Ward has four goals and six
points in the last three games,
and has already set franchise re-
cords with seven goals and 12
points in the playoffs.
Raffi Torres also scored, and
Luongo made 19 saves for the Ca-
nucks, who blew a 3-0 series lead
to Chicago in the first round be-
fore winning Game 7 in overtime.
They won Games 3 and 4 in
Nashville, but didn’t want to go
back as they hoped to advance to
the conference finals for the first
time since 1994. Game 7, if neces-
sary, would be in Vancouver on
Wednesday.

Salt Lake’s
streak at
28 games
Johnson’s late goal downs
Chivas, keeps home winning
streak alive.
The Associated Press
SANDY, UTAH — Will Johnson
put in a high volley in the 87th
minute and Real Salt Lake
stretched its home unbeaten
streak in MLS to 28 games with a
1-0 victory over Chivas USA on
Saturday.
The winners held a two-man ad-
vantage when Johnson finally
tapped in the decisive goal after re-
serve midfielder Collen Warner
sent in a cross as Johnson streaked
to the far post. The goal brought
relief to the home team after see-
ing several chances get parried
away by Chivas goalkeeper Dan
Kennedy.
“We just wanted that first goal as
quickly as possible,” Johnson said.
“The longer it goes on, the more
frustrated you get.”
Getting its fifth win of the sea-
son came at a cost for Salt Lake (5-
1-0). Midfielder Javier Morales
broke his left ankle in the 37th
minute when Chivas USA forward
Marcos Mondaini took down Mo-
rales with a hard tackle from be-
hind. Morales landed awkwardly
and could not get back up.
He was taken from the field on a
stretcher to an ambulance and was
examined at a nearby hospital.
The two-time MLS all-star is ex-
pected to be sidelined four
months.
Teammates were somber after-
ward.
“He’s our best player,” fellow
midfielder Kyle Beckerman said.
“He’s one of the best in the league.
So it’s not only bad for us, it’s bad
for the league he’s not going to be
playing.”
With Morales playing such an
integral role in the offense, RSL
will need to adjust its approach to
account for his absence. Defense
will become a bigger emphasis to
offset the loss of a key playmaker.
“We pride ourselves on de-
fense,” goalkeeper Nick Rimando
said. “Even if Javi is in there, we
have to play defense. Now we’re
going to have to do better possess-
ing the ball.”
Mondaini received a straight
red card for a reckless tackle. Com-
bined with Andrew Boyens earn-
ing a pair of yellow cards earlier in
the half, it gave RSL a two-man ad-
vantage over Chivas going into the
second half.
The advantage did not seem to
matter for a while. Salt Lake
pressed and produced plenty of
scoring chances against its short-
handed opponent. Real had eight
shots on goal compared to a single
shot on goal for Chivas. But until
Johnson’s strike, Real could not
find a way to finish things.
RSL coach Jason Kreis is confi-
dent the team has enough depth to
replace Morales. The bigger con-
cern for Kreis is seeing Real
emerge from a mental cloud that
has been hanging over the team
since a heartbreaking loss to Mon-
terrey in the CONCACAF Cham-
pions League title game.
Kreis said his team is not play-
ing with the fire or passion needed
to be successful over the long haul.
“We need to come out of this
funk,” Kreis said. “I don’t think
that performance showed we’re
out of this funk.”

Gordon’s hit brings wall scrutiny
By PETE IACOBELLI
AP Sports Writer
DARLINGTON, S.C. —
NASCAR is evaluating wheth-
er to install an energy-absorb-
ing soft wall where Jeff Gordon
hit at Richmond International
Raceway.
Gordon had the wind
knocked out of him in the
accident last Saturday. His car
hit driver-side on an interior
wall that did not have a SAFER
barrier, and the four-time
champion said he expects that
to be reviewed.
“And he should,” NASCAR
president Mike Helton said at
Darlington Raceway. “It’s not
because Jeff says there should
be (a SAFER barrier) there
that we need to look at it. We
know that there’s an area that’s
uncovered where a bad hit
occurred, and that’s what we’re
looking at.”

tered in a crash, but Gordon

SKANEATELES, N.Y. — It’s
almost 11 years to the day since
Adam Petty was killed during
practice for a NASCAR race at
New Hampshire International
Speedway, and his dad never es-
capes a special feeling of sad-
ness when May and Mother’s
Day roll around.
“What goes through my mind
at this time of year more than
anything else is my personal
loss,” Kyle Petty said as he pre-
pared for the start of his 17th an-
nual charity motorcycle ride.
“When you lose a child or you
lose a son, it’s pretty hard on a
family. It’s a sad time of year, but
being around people on the ride
and being able to help people
during this week has a little bit
of a healing effect.”
“I’m delighted to have done
this for the team,” Pinotti said.
“We are an excellent team and
weren’t bothered about being
made the favorite as we just used
straightforward tactics. We had a
plan and were able to execute it.”
The 23 teams left at 4-minute
intervals, but with renowned
sprinter Mark Cavendish in the
lineup, HTC was favored to take
the time trial. Cavendish led the
team off the last corner before Pi-
notti — who finished ninth last
year — took over down the
stretch.

was confident his was high
enough for NASCAR to recom-
mend that a SAFER barrier be
installed along that portion of
the inside backstretch wall.
“I know we exceeded the
threshold,” Gordon said. “At
the time when I hit the wall I
wasn’t even thinking about it. I
knew it was a hard hit. I got in
the medical center and my
head hurt a little bit and other
than that, I was feeling pretty
good. I was walking out of the
medical center and I happened
to see a TV and caught a
glance at what happened, and I
was shocked.
“I couldn’t believe there
wasn’t a SAFER barrier there,
then I realized why it hurt so
much.”
Gordon said he received text
messages from other drivers
Adam Petty, just 19, was
killed on May 12, 2000, only
weeks after running in his only
Cup race, a debut that had made
the Petty family the first four-
generation family in NASCAR.
Kyle Petty, a devotee of mo-
torcycles, started his charity
ride in the 1990s, and it normal-
ly has been a trek from the West
Coast across the country. This
year, for just the third time, the
ride is going from north to
south. It began Saturday morn-
ing in Lake Placid, N.Y., and the
first day was to traverse the Fin-
ger Lakes region of upstate New
York, including a stop at Wat-
kins Glen International, before
ending in Corning, N.Y.
Petty and 175 motorcycle rid-
ers — including Brad Daugher-
ty, former NASCAR star Geoff
Bodine and Heisman Trophy
winner Herschel Walker — also
will make overnight stays in Far-
mington, Pa.; Irvington, Va.;

Omega Pharma-Lotto from top
spot, and the win was confirmed
when chief rival Radioshack
failed to improve on the result.
Nibali’s Liquigas-Cannondale
team was third, 22 seconds off
the pace. Scarponi’s Lampre-ISD
was 24 seconds back in sixth,
and Contador’s Saxo Bank team
finished in eighth, conceding 30
seconds to the stage winners.

mostly flat 151-mile stage today.

thanking him for bringing
attention to the lack of SAFER
barrier. But Gordon, who has
been prone to hit areas at
tracks that don’t have the soft
wall, doesn’t want to be the
crash dummy anymore.
“I seem to find those places
on tracks,” he said. “I think
there are areas that are still out
there, for some reason, that
still need to be covered.
Gordon praised Richmond
officials for being proactive on
safety in the past, and track
president Doug Fritz said a
SAFER barrier would be in-
stalled if NASCAR and its
consultants at the University of
Nebraska recommends that
area be upgraded.
PEARSON’S MEMORIES:
No one was better at Darling-
ton Raceway than soon to be
Hall-of-Famer David Pearson.
And even if a Sprint Cup driver
eclipses Pearson’s record 10
victories here, he says it won’t
be the same.
Darlington is nothing like it
Adam Petty, center, celebrates his win in the Easy Care 100
ARCA race at the Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, N.C.,
in this Sept. 30, 1998 photo with his father Kyle, right, and

ber of stock car racing’s most famous family, was killed in a
crash Friday, may 12, 2000 during practice at the New Hamp-
shire International Speedway in London, N.H.
Island, Fla.
The ride originally was tar-
geted to benefit children’s hos-
pitals and has raised over $14
million in 16 years. But four
years after Adam Petty’s fatal
crash — on Father’s Day 2004

was when Pearson and his
contemporaries toured it twice
a year.
“I’ve seen every race since
they changed it,” Pearson said
Saturday. “It ain’t hardly noth-
ing like it used to be.”
Back in the days of the “Sil-
ver Fox,” Darlington was prac-
tically a one-lane country road
where no one dared pass in the
corners. The surface chewed
up tires and if you tried to
move around your competitor,
you likely wound up in with a
Darlington stripe.
“You’d knock them slam
through the wall,” Pearson
said.
Pearson was elected to the
NASCAR Hall of Fame in Octo-
ber. He won 105 Sprint Cup
races, second on the career list
behind to Richard Petty. He
will be inducted in ceremonies
on May 23 along with drivers
Bobby Allison, Lee Petty and
Ned Jarrett, and famed car
owner Bud Moore.

priority
for Philly
Club had a chance to fill big
need at CB early in draft, but
picking a guard trumped that.
By JONATHAN TAMARI
The Philadelphia Inquirer
Even after one of the top corner-
backs fell to within striking dis-
tance, even after the best pass-rush-
ing defensive ends had flown off the
board, general manager Howie Ro-
seman said, the Eagles got their
man in last weekend’s NFL draft.
For seven months, he said, he
had eyed Baylor guard Danny Wat-
kins.
It started with an August conver-
sation with Art Briles, the Baylor
head coach who had mentored Ea-
gles quarterback Kevin Kolb in high
school and col-
lege. In a visit to “(Watkins)
the Eagles,
Briles raved was the
about his offen- best avail-
sive tackle. Rose-
man knows able guy

eo of Watkins’ ju- Eagles GM
nior year was
one of the first he
checked out. He saw toughness,
pass protection, run blocking, and
smarts.
"He was one of the players that
the minute you watch you want on
your team," Roseman said.
But the Eagles had two other big
needs — cornerback and defensive
end. And on last week’s draft day,
one of the best corners in the 2010
class slid closer and closer. Nebras-
ka’s Prince Amukamara dropped to
within seven picks, then six, then
five.
Did the Eagles try to move up?
Firm answers are elusive.
"Prince is a good player, and we
liked him," Roseman said Tuesday.
But Roseman said the team wanted
the "flexibility" of keeping picks lat-
er in the draft.
"For us, the better outcome was
picking the guy we picked and con-
tinuing to get more players," he
said.
Pressed on the issue, Roseman
added, "You always look into what
things would cost to get up there,
but we felt very comfortable" pick-
ing at 23.
Amukamara’s fall hints that some
teams liked him less than draft anal-
ysts did, though it was also due in
part to an early run on quarterbacks
that pushed others down the board.
Media perceptions don’t always
match NFL scouting reports, Rose-
man said, though he said he wasn’t
speaking specifically about Amu-
kamara.
With Giants fans chanting "We
want Prince!" the Eagles’ rivals
grabbed the corner at 19. The Ea-
gles will see how good he is twice a
year.
The Eagles picked four slots lat-
er. The top defensive linemen left,
including Cameron Jordan and
Cam Heyward, were better suited
to the 3-4. Cornerback Jimmy
Smith was there, but character
questions dragged him out of the
Eagles’ plans.
Roseman had hinted all week
about trading back. But with sever-
al quarterbacks gone early, the mar-
ket for late first-round picks didn’t
materialize.
"(Watkins) was the best available
guy when we picked, and it just so
happened that it hit a need," Rose-
man said.
Watkins will likely start at right
guard. Todd Herremans will proba-
bly stay at left guard, Andy Reid
said Tuesday in a radio appearance
on 97.5-FM, denting speculation
that Herremans might move to
right tackle and opening a question
about who will protect Michael
Vick’s blind side.
After taking Watkins, Roseman
picked Temple’s Jaiquawn Jarrett in
the second round, earlier than
many thought the safety would go.

Ohio St. men win marathon title match

win their first NCAA men’s volley-
ball crown.
It’s just the third time a team out-
side of the West has claimed the ti-
tle. Penn State won in 1994 and
2008.
The Gauchos (18-15) trailed 2-1
but took the fourth set in part to

Jeff Menzel. He finished with 12
kills and Cullen Irons had 16.

through this situation before, I
was definitely able to calm myself
down a little bit easier than last
time.”
Minnesota’s Francisco Liriano
pitched a no-hitter against the
Chicago White Sox on Tuesday
night.
Verlander barely missed a per-
fect game. The only runner he al-
lowed came with one out in the
eighth inning when J.P. Arencibia
walked on a full count, with Ver-
lander’s 12th pitch to the rookie
just an inch or two outside.
“It was as good as it gets,” Ti-
gers manager Jim Leyland said.
“He just missed by inches of be-
ing perfect. It really doesn’t get
any better than that. That’s great
stuff.”
Verlander had no argument
with the call by plate umpire Jer-
ry Meals.
“Right out of my fingertips, I
knew it was just a hair outside
and it was,” he said. “It was a ball
and you’ve got to give Jerry a
’Good job’. He called it a ball and
it was.”
Verlander (3-3) struck out 12 in
his first no-hitter against the Mil-
waukee Brewers on June12, 2007.
This time, he fanned Rajai Davis
to end it for his fourth strikeout of
But Ohio State (26-6) closed the
match with a 5-0 run, capped by a
block on Menzel that started the
Buckeyes’ party in Happy Valley.

ing postseason run that included
back-to-back wins over top-ranked
Southern California.
The Gauchos had said all week
they play their best when faced
with elimination, and they came
close to proving it again.
The Buckeyes were pushed to
the limit and responded in the final
set. Sangrey’s powerful right arm
overwhelmed the Gauchos, and
setter Steven Kehoe deftly set up
the offense with 65 assists. Kehoe
won the tournament MVP award.
The Buckeyes celebrated by
the game. The overpowering
right-hander threw 108 pitches,
74 for strikes, against a Blue Jays
lineup missing ailing slugger Jose
Bautista.
Mixing fastballs that sizzled
over 100 mph, sharp breaking
balls and an effective changeup,
Verlander became the 30th pitch-
er in major league history to
throw multiple career no-hitters,
STATS LLC said.
He was unbelievable today,”
Arencibia said. “Anytime on your
106th pitch when you’re hitting
100, I’d say it’s pretty ridiculous
stuff.”
Blue Jays rookie David Cooper
popped to second on Verlander’s
first pitch of the ninth. John
McDonald followed with a groun-
der to second, and Verlander
flashed a grin. With the crowd of
23,453 standing and cheering,
Davis ended it by striking out
swinging on a 2-2 pitch from the
2006 AL Rookie of the Year.
Verlander calmly pumped his
fist and smiled, then shared a hug
with catcher Alex Avila before be-
ing mobbed by teammates near
the mound. He was doused with a
bucket of ice water by reliever
Jose Valverde.
“That was cold,” Verlander
said. “That and the beer shower I
got in here was cold, too.”

fifth when Edwin Encarnacion hit

forth in unison while wearing their
new black championships hats. It
was an odd sight in Rec Hall on the
campus of Penn State, a fierce Big
Ten football rival.
After Ohio State’s mistake-filled
first set featuring nine service er-
rors, the Buckeyes regrouped in an
entertaining second set highlight-
ed by terrific defense and long ral-
lies. They pulled away with a 12-4

toward third base to track down
the ball and made a hurried throw
that first baseman Miguel Cabre-
ra scooped.
Left with a bruise on his fore-
arm, Verlander kept the swelling
down by having a trainer rub a
can of Red Bull on the injury.
“I was kind of like a boxer, you
know, you see them in between
rounds where they put the cold
stuff on, I was doing that with my
forearm,” Verlander said. “I’ve got
pretty decent lump there. Thank-
fully they did a great job, they got
the swelling down and allowed
me to continue going out there.”
Verlander had another close
call on the final out of the sixth
when Cabrera had to leap to snare
Corey Patterson’s sharp liner.
For a while, it looked as if Ver-
lander was dueling someone else:
Milwaukee’s Yovani Gallardo. Be-
cause at the same time Verlander
was dominating at Rogers Cen-
tre, Gallardo was making his own
no-hit bid for Milwaukee at Busch
Stadium.
Gallardo’s try ended when St.
Louis’ Daniel Descalso singled
leading off the eighth inning. The
hit came just a few minutes before
Verlander’s lone walk.
A season after Roy Halladay
threw two no-hitters — a perfect
game, then a gem in his postsea-
son debut — and helped stamp
2010 as the Year of the Pitcher,

Say Hey: Willie Mays turns 80
Giants honor Hall of Famer
with a pregame ceremony
By ANTONIO GONZALEZ
AP Sports Writer
SAN FRANCISCO — The Say
Hey Kid is as popular as ever.
The San Francisco Giants hon-
ored Willie Mays on his 80th birth-
day Friday night with a ceremony
befitting a baseball legend, com-
plete with a celebratory letter from
President Barack Obama and a vid-
eo tribute that included everyone
from Commissioner Bud Selig to
singer Tony Bennett.
Mays was driven on a golf cart
from center field to the mound and
received a roaring standing ova-
tion from a sellout crowd of more
than 42,000 at AT&T Park. At one
point during the montage, Mays
was wiping his face and pulling
Rehabbing Utley hits 2 homers
The Associated Press
DUNEDIN, Fla. — Chase Utley
homered twice and beat out an
infield single in an extended
spring training game Saturday.
The five-time All-Star second
baseman hasn’t played for the
Philadelphia Phillies this season
because of a knee injury.
“It felt pretty good just to get
back out between the lines,”
Utley said. “So far so good and
we’ll see how it responds tomor-
row and go from there.”
Utley has patellar tendinitis in
his right knee. He’s been side-
lined since the start of spring
training. He played four innings
in the field, alternating each
inning.
At the plate, the left-handed
hitting Utley saw all lefties.
“It was good to get some tim-
ing back and some swings in
there, see some live pitching so
we’re just going to keep it going,”
Utley said.
Rays’ Upton suspended
and fined for outburst
NEW YORK — Tampa Bay
Rays outfielder B.J. Upton was
suspended two games and fined
an undisclosed amount by Major
League Baseball on Saturday
after he launched into a tirade
following an ejection earlier this
week.
Upton was scheduled to begin
serving his suspension Saturday
against the Baltimore Orioles but
decided to appeal.
Upton was ejected by umpire
Chad Fairchild after striking out
for the fourth straight time lead-
ing off the ninth inning Wednes-
day night against the Toronto
Blue Jays.
Upton slammed his bat and
helmet to the ground and had to
be restrained by third base coach
Tom Foley after he was tossed.
Upton also threw several other
items, including his arm guards,
toward the plate area while head-
ing toward the dugout.
Earlier in the game, Rays man-
ager Joe Maddon was ejected by
Joe West after the umpires got
together and reversed West’s safe

BASEBALL VIDEO GAMES

Man in wheelchair an all-star player

Smith has cerebral palsy but
that doesn’t stop him from
shining at MLB video game.
By BERNIE WILSON
AP Sports Writer
SAN DIEGO — Hans Smith of
the St. Louis Cardinals had a
mediocre 2010 season. He went
9-11 with a 4.31 ERA, was side-
lined for a month with a strained
shoulder and was disappointed
when the team missed the play-
offs.
Don’t recognize the name?
That’s because the left-handed
pitcher exists only digitally.
The real Hans Smith has cere-
bral palsy and is confined to a
wheelchair, so the only way he’s
ever been able to play baseball is
on video games. He’s such a
fanatic that Sony included him as
a player in “MLB The Show” for
the second straight year.
“For me to be able to leave my
wheelchair and play baseball,
that’s something I never thought
was possible,” said Smith, who is
studying communications at
Boise State and turns 25 today.
“So it’s been a very great ride.”
Smith, a lifelong Cardinals fan,
leaves his wheelchair only in the
figurative sense. But playing
“MLB The Show” means the
world to him.
“Obviously, because of my
condition, I can’t play physical
baseball,” he said in a phone
interview. “And so ever since I
was 9 years old, the only way I
could play baseball was through
video game systems.”
Smith said that when he saw
an add for “MLB 08 The Show,”
he sold his Xbox the next day
because the game is made only
for PlayStation.
“They were asking me, ’Isn’t
that a little bit weird to sell your
system just for one game?’ I said,
’No, you don’t get it. I am not a
gamer, I am a baseball player.
That’s the difference.”
He played the full season in
2008, mirroring when the real
Boise State student Hans Smith, right, plays "MLB 10: The Show" video game with a colleague on the campus of BYU-Idaho in Rex-
burg, Idaho. Smith has cerebral palsy and is confined to a wheelchair, so the only way he’s ever been able to play baseball is on com-
puter games. He’s such a fanatic that Sony included him as a player in “MLB: The Show” for the second straight year.
Cardinals were playing.
“When my team would be on
the road, I’d wear the road
clothes. When my team was at
home, I’d wear the home clothes.
When they took a day off, I’d take
a day off. So I rebuilt the actual
season as if I were a player,” he
said.
Halfway through the season,
Smith contacted Sony Computer
Entertainment America to say
how much he appreciated being
able to play the game.
“For me, you have created the
real field of dreams,” Smith re-
called writing. “You’ve given me
the opportunity to reach my goal,
and for that I’m very grateful.
Because all the emotions that you

Sony to put certain settings in
“MLB The Show” that make it
easier for disabled gamers to use.
“Either by dumb luck or divine
blessing, both times he requested
things, we were working on it,”
Launchbaugh said. “It wasn’t
exactly what he wanted, but the
framework was there.”
Launchbaugh said Sony listens

Huskies muscle their way to titles

Washington men and women
earn their fifth consecutive
crowns in Windermere Cup.

SEATTLE — The Washington
men’s and women’s rowing
teams breezed to victories in
choppy waters in the 25th Win-
dermere Cup on Saturday.
Both crews won the event for
the fifth consecutive year. An es-

Holyfield beats Dane

At age 48, American is on the
comeback trail to try to
regain his heavyweight title.
By JAN M. OLSEN
Associated Press
COPENHAGEN, Denmark —
Former heavyweight champion
Evander Holyfield stopped Den-
mark’s Brian Nielsen on a techni-
cal knockout in the10th round Sat-
urday night.
In the 10th round, Holyfield, 48,
pressed Nielson in the corner and
the bout was halted after Holyfield
landed several jabs in the corner
and the Dane spat out some blood.
Nielsen said after the bout he was
hit by Holyfield’s headbutts.
“My goal still is to be the undis-
puted heavyweight champion of
the world,” Holyfield said. “This
fight showed other champions
what I am able to do, but it also
taught me I got to be better. The
most important is that I didn’t
quit. I am not quitter.”
Despite Nielsen being pressed
and a swollen eye, Nielsen kept on
clowning to provoke Holyfield
throughout the bout, prompting
his trainer, Paul Duvill, to beg him
to stop fooling around and focus
on Holyfield.
But the Dane made a comeback
in the eighth round, pushing a
tired-looking Holyfield into the
ropes with a series of combina-
tions, before Holyfield turned it
around in the 10th.
“It was a tough fight. He kept
coming back. Hee kept coming
back,” Holyfield said. “He fought a
very courageous fight.”
Nielsen, with a bag of ice on his
bloodied face, said he disagreed
with the decision to halt the fight.
He suggested a rematch to Holy-
field.
“That’s enough. I don’t need a
rematch,” Holyfield said, laughing.
Holyfield’s last appearance in
the ring was in January. He was cut
above the left eye by an accidental
head butt in his fight against Sher-
man Williams and the bout was
ruled a no-contest.
The audience at the sold-out
2,100-seat Copenhagen Concert
Hall included giant Russian boxer
Nikolai Valuev and Denmark’s
Mikkel Kessler.
The No. 7-ranked Washington
women’s eight finished in 6:42.6.
The Huskies defeated Oklahoma
by 14.5 seconds and Cambridge
by 22.7 seconds.
“We knew it was going to be a
pretty big wind from the south
and when that pushes on the lake
here it puts a pretty good roll in
the water,” said Washington
men’s coach Michael Callahan.
“We knew the start would be ve-
ry ... rough and we had to be real-
ly aggressive there and kind of
get in the race.”

BULLETIN
BOARD
Hunters can now phone in their harvest
reports to the Pennsylvania Game
Commission via a toll-free number that
was enacted on April 25. The Interactive
Voice Response (IVR) harvest reporting
system telephone number is 1-855-
PAHUNT1 (1-855-724-8681).
“This is one more way that the Game
Commission is doing its part to make it
easier for license buyers to report their
required harvests and help the agency
better manage wildlife,” said PGC exec-
utive director Carl Roe. “We have found
that harvest reporting rates have been
declining for years, and we’re hoping
hunters and trappers take advantage of
this new system and become more
active in wildlife management.
“Hunters who use the toll-free number to
submit a harvest report will receive a
confirmation number. They should write
down this number and keep it as proof
of reporting.”
Roe noted that hunters should have their
Customer Identification Number (hunt-
ing license number) and field harvest
tag information with them when they
call, and that multiple harvests can be
reported in a single call. He also
stressed callers should speak clearly
and distinctly when reporting harvests,
especially when providing the Wildlife
Management Unit number and letter.
“Hunters and trappers can use the tele-
phone reporting system during the
2011-12 seasons for deer, turkey, bobcat
and fisher,” Roe said. “Elk and bear
hunters still will be required to present
their harvest to check stations.” Other
harvest reporting methods will remain
in place. They are online reporting
through the agency’s website
(www.pgc.state.pa.us) and the use of
pre-paid postage cards that appear in
the annual Pennsylvania Hunting and
Trapping digest that is provided free to
each license buyer.
Pennsylvania State Parks naturalist
Stephanie Strub will lead a 17-mile guid-
ed bike ride on Saturday from 10 a.m. to
3 p.m. along the gently sloped rail trail
that follows the Lehigh Gorge. Riders
will take in the natural sights, watch the
whitewater rafters in the river below,
and learn a little bit of local history at
points of interest along the way. The
ride will begin at the Rockport launch
area and head north to White Haven,
where riders will have the opportunity
to enjoy a lunch of Italian food and ice
cream before turning around to ride the
slight downhill back to Rockport. The
fee for this program is $5 per person,
payable at the event. Riders must be in
good physical condition and bring their
own cycling gear or secure rentals.
Register in advance, as the ride will be
cancelled if there is a lack of interest. To
register or for information, contact
Stephanie Strub at sstrub@state.pa.us

The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Com-
mission and Cabela’s have partnered to
promote fishing in the state. Cabela’s is
tagging hundreds of fish in selected
waters in states that have Cabela’s retail
stores – including Pennsylvania – and
every one of them is a winner. Among
the winning fish, there are grand prize
winners that may qualify for additional
bonuses based on the winning angler
using or wearing sponsors’ products
when they catch a tagged fish.
The PFBC is Cabela’s state partner and will
tag fish in selected waters, which will be
publicly announced Saturday, the official
start of the contest. The contest runs
through July 14. PFBC Executive Direc-
tor John Arway said the timing of the
contest is perfect because it will coinci-
de with the PFBC’s Fish-for-Free Day on
Memorial Day, Monday, May 30, giving
vacationing families more incentive to
try fishing.
“The contest creates a fantastic opportuni-
ty to promote all the fishing opportuni-
ties we have in Pennsylvania to first-
time anglers on our Fish-for-Free Day,”
he said. “On this day, we will hold special
events at many of the selected contest
waters. We will have exhibits, fishing
instruction and tips, free publications
and more.
“The contest – and in particular the Fish-
for-Free Day – promises to be fun and
exciting for all levels of anglers,” Arway
added. “Now when someone is fishing
and feels that tug on their line, they will
be thinking, ‘Am I reeling in a million
dollar prize?’ ”
Fish-for-Free Days allow anyone (Penn-
sylvania resident or non-resident) to
legally fish. No fishing license is required
to fish on these days. All other fishing
regulations apply. The second Fish-for-
Free Day is Labor Day, Sept. 5.Winning is
as easy as baiting a hook. Go to the
PFBC’s website for contest and Fish-for-
Free information at: http://fishand-
boat.com/fishformillions.htm. Anglers
need to pre-register and hit their local
waters between Saturday and July 14 for
their chance at winning a fish worth
$2.2 million.

The Pennsylvania Game Commis-
sion is planning to add more acreage
to the State Game Lands system and
raise more pheasants thanks to $18
million received through gas lease
agreements.
According to PGC executive direc-
tor Carl G. Roe, the agency will direct
nearly $7 million into third-party,
interest-bearing escrow accounts to be 12, two will have no impact on the

ment acreage for the State Game

payment of $18 million was for the
bonus and rental consideration of
restricted use of both the surface and Game Lands leases recently approved,
subsurface of the leased areas of State there will be no surface disturbances,

“Our policy continues to be that the Commission will benefit from the
wildlife resources and hunters and
trappers, which may potentially be
impacted by these leases, must be
compensated by purchasing additional Game Commission’s potential oil/gas
State Game Lands for wildlife habitats revenues would have been jeopardized
and public hunting and trapping ar-
eas,” Roe said.
Roe also stated more than $11 mil-
lion of this one-time payment will be
deposited into the Game Fund, which
is the agency’s operating budget, to be
used to, among other things, increase
to 200,000 the number of pheasants
the agency raises and releases for
small game hunters, beginning with
the 2012-13 license year.
As announced on April 12, the Penn- third-party commitments to acquire
sylvania Board of Game Commission-
ers approved four agreements involv-
ing oil and gas extraction on State
Game Lands in Lycoming, Bradford
and Tioga counties that will raise
more than $18 million to support the
agency’s mission of managing all wild able the agency to adequately fund
birds and mammals and their habitats many important programs and pro-
for current and future generations of
Pennsylvanians.
“The Game Commission, through
board actions, approved the purchase
of nearly 10,000 acres to proactively
fulfill our obligation to hunters and
trappers to offset temporary recreation pheasant production cycle to increase
and habitat losses from oil, gas and
mineral extraction previously ap-
proved on various State Game Lands
throughout the state,” Roe said.
“Much of the money used for these
purchases was the result of recent
board actions to lease agency-owned
rights to gas, oil, coal and minerals on
State Game Lands.
“By directing nearly $7 million into
these interest-bearing escrow ac-
counts, we will continue to fulfill our
obligation to license-buyers and to
meet our obligations in managing all
wild birds and mammals for the com-
monwealth.”
Roe also noted that, of the agree-
ments approved by the board on April

be conducted from sites already under
lease on private properties adjacent to
the State Game Lands.
“This means in two of the State

“Without a proactive approach to lease
these State Game Lands, much of the

opment that could have drained the
Game Commission-owned oil/gas
reserves.
“The ‘do nothing’ option would
abdicate our fiduciary responsibility to
both the state’s wildlife resources and
our license buyers, who fund the ac-
quisition of State Game Lands.”
As has been the policy of the Game
Commission in the past, portions of
these upfront proceeds will be used as
more parcels for the State Game Land
system and directly support a multi-
tude of wildlife resource management
programs throughout the state.
Roe said placing the remaining $11
million into the Game Fund will en-
jects for wildlife and that license
buyers expect from the agency.
“One of those programs will be a
return to raising and releasing 200,000
pheasants for the 2012-13 season,” Roe
said. “While it is too late in this year’s
production for the 2011-12 license year,
we will be able to return to the
200,000 pheasant stocking level for
the subsequent hunting seasons.’’

mission said that the revenue increase
derived from that increase would need
to be revisited in 2004.
“Now, more than seven years be-
yond that time, the Game Commission
has continued to fulfill its mission by
tightening its financial belt and mak-
ing cuts in programs and services,”
Roe said. “Some of those cuts have
been painful, such as the reduction in
the agency’s pheasant production
program, which took effect in 2005. At
that time, we cut the production level
from 200,000 birds down to 100,000.
“When the cut was made in 2005,
we pledged to revisit the decision if
and when we received a license fee
increase. Thanks to the revenues from
these recent leases, we now have the
resources to fulfill our commitment to
our license buyers without having to
wait for a license fee increase.”
Roe stressed, however, that while
the new revenues enable the agency to
catch up on some of the valuable work
that the agency does for wildlife and
license buyers, it is by no means a
solution.
“These are one-time payments that
serve as a temporary solution to a
long-term need, and do not reflect a
steady stream of adequate funding,”
Roe said. “We recognize that everyone
is facing difficult financial times, and
we will do our best to make wise
spending decisions with the monies
entrusted to us by our license buyers.
“But the $18 million in new reve-
nues is equal to what one year’s worth
of increased revenue would have been
had a license fee increase been enact-
ed in 2006. So, even with this one-time
cash infusion, we still are four years
behind where we should be if a license
fee increase had been implemented.”
At its April 2010 meeting, the board
unanimously approved a resolution
proposed by Game Commissioner
David Schreffler urging caution re-
garding development of Marcellus
Shale gas resources on the agency’s
State Game Lands system and reit-
erating the agency’s policy to replace
any potential disturbance to existing
State Game Lands.

Wild trout dealt
a blow from
coal industry
A
t one time Solomon Creek in
Wilkes-Barre and Hanover
Township was a picturesque
trout stream. Its waters flowed clear
and cool over a natural channel of
stone and gravel, creating a perfect
habitat for aquatic insects and native
trout.
Today, thanks to a handful of bore-
holes resulting from the area’s coal
mining industry, the bottom of Solo-
mon Creek is choked with bright or-
ange iron oxide. The thriving aquatic
life, including the native trout, are a
thing of the past.
The death of Solomon Creek is just
one of the many grim reminders of the
environmental devastation left behind
by the coal industry decades ago.
And it’s not done yet.
Last month when the Pennsylvania
Fish and Boat Commission board was
ready to add 99 streams in the state to
the list of wild trout waters – and sub-
sequently give them increased protec-
tion – the coal industry used its clout
to postpone what would’ve been a
positive step in conservation.
Now, it could be a step backwards.
Two years ago the PFBC enlisted the
help of colleges, universities and con-
servation organizations to assess
streams in the state – approximately
4,500 in all – that were never studied
before to determine if any contained
populations of wild trout.
At least 99 did.
But when the PFBC board was ready
to vote to add the streams to the wild
trout list, legislators stepped in on
behalf of the coal industry and the
board decided by a 7-1 vote to postpone
the process.
There are several reasons why the
mining industry wanted to delay the
vote.
In my opinion, none of them hold
water.
Mining companies wanted time to
analyze the data that were collected,
and one industry official was quoted in
Pennsylvania Outdoor News that the
PFBC board was rushing to judgment.
At least one legislator agreed.
Sen. Don White, R-Indiana, wrote in
a letter to the PFBC board that he
didn’t see the urgency for the streams
to receive any special protection.
“What’s the rush?” White said. “The
streams will still be there.”
White is correct, the streams aren’t
going anywhere. But after that, his
logic falls short.
If these streams that hold popula-
tions of wild trout aren’t granted stron-
ger protection from potential impacts
from industries such as coal and nat-
ural gas, we could lose even more of
our pristine waters.
The stream assessments have al-
ready proven to be effective in prevent-
ing a potential negative impact. A
stream in northern Lycoming County
was found to have a wild trout pop-
ulation recently. Soon after, a natural
gas company submitted plans to run a
pipeline through the area, but thanks
to the assessment and subsequent
discovery of wild trout, the company
was forced to change its plans so the
pipeline wouldn’t interfere with the
stream.
And now the coal industry wants to
delay giving 99 similar streams the
same protection.
We’ve seen enough of our land and
water polluted and destroyed by the
coal industry for decades. The PFBC
board needs to put its foot down when
it meets again May 24 and add these 99
streams to the wild trout listing – re-
gardless of what the coal industry
thinks.
And judging by a comment from
Darrel Lewis of the Pennsylvania
Mining Professionals, the industry is
only thinking about itself.
“This is a very serious change as it
relates to all land use and permitting
functions, and as such, all landowners
in the affected drainages should be
properly advised,” Lewis was quoted in
Pennsylvania Outdoors News.
Were those who live along Solomon
Creek “properly advised” when it was
turned orange?
Pennsylvania has more streams im-
pacted by acid mine drainage than any
other state. Designating these 99 wa-
ters to the list of wild trout streams
isn’t about “permitting functions,” it’s
about saving what little we have left.

MADRID — Rafael Nadal cried for coun-
tryman Seve Ballesteros, then went out and
extended his dominance on clay to beat rival
Roger Federer in front of the Spanish fans.
The top-ranked Nadal rallied to reach his
third straight Madrid Open final with a 5-7,
6-1, 6-3 victory Saturday. The surging Novak
Djokovic awaits after the Serb rallied to beat
unseeded Thomaz Bellucci 4-6, 6-4, 6-1.
The first match got off to a somber start,
with Nadal tearing up during an homage to
the golf great, who died earlier Saturday.
Nadal controlled the early stages before
uncharacteristic errors allowed the third-
ranked Swiss player back into the match to
win the first set.
BOXING
But the defending champion took com-
mand after that, as he converted four break
points over the next two sets to win his 37th
straight match on clay and extend his record
to 11-2 against Federer on the surface.
Nadal will try for his first title in three at-
tempts against Djokovic in 2011 after the
second-ranked Serb extended his perfect
start to the season to 31 matches, equaling
Bjorn Borg’s streak in 1980 and behind only
John McEnroe’s 42 straight victories in
1984.
Djokovic has won five titles on the current
run — including the Australian Open — and
is 33-0 stretching to last year’s Davis Cup
win to pass Nadal for the eighth-longest
streak.
The big-hitting Brazilian overwhelmed
Djokovic early on before the Serb showed
more energy and better shot placement to
ensure the top two players will meet in Sun-
day’s final.
Earlier, Victoria Azarenka of Belarus end-
ed German Julia Goerges’10-match winning
streak 6-4, 6-2 to set up the women’s final
against Czech Petra Kvitova, who ousted
sixth-seeded Li Na of China 6-3, 6-1.
Azarenka — who ensured she would
move up one spot to a career-best No. 4 in
the rankings by reaching the final — and
Kvitova will each be chasing her third title of
the year at the Caja Magica.
Nadal was visibly upset when he watched
a video screen showing highlights of Balles-
teros’ career, as was former tennis great Ma-
nolo Santana, who watched from the stands.
Ballesteros, 54, died early Saturday of brain
cancer.
“It’s a sad day for Spain, for all athletes,”
said Nadal, who played golf with Balleste-
ros. “This win is much too small to dedicate
to Seve — he’s one of the greatest players in
the history of our sport.”

had met two straight times not in a final, and
Nadal appeared on course for another quick
win — as in Miami — when Federer was

Derek Stepan tied the game for

ahead early in the middle period,
and Andy Miele set up the third
goal for Chris Kreider on a power
play. It was Miele’s debut game at
worlds.
France cut the lead to 3-2 on a
power-play goal by captain Lau-
rent Meunier, but the Americans

“Without winning any gold
medals, it’s a little embarrassing
for America,” Roach said. “We
need to change that. ... I haven’t
followed the amateur game for a
while, but the future of boxing is
here. It’s going to help boxing in
many ways.”
Roach is widely considered

star Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., and
he has worked with Oscar De La

Roach got a taste of Olympic
boxing when he fought in a tour-

pics, living in the Olympic Vil-
lage and fighting in the same ring
where Sugar Ray Leonard won a
gold medal while leading argua-
bly the greatest boxing team in
Olympic history for the United
States.
Roach wasn’t good enough to
make the team, but the image of
Olympic glory stuck with him.
“I really want to help the
Olympic team get back in form
and get some gold medals back
in America,” he said. “With the
training and experience that I
have, I think I can help the team,

There are $563.54 worth of coupons
in today’s Times Leader, but my two
favorites are the ones that triple almost
any manufacturer’s coupon with a face
value up to $1. I recommend using one
of them with the $1 off two Sorrento

the two packs for $4 after the dis-
counts.
Use the $5 off any Precise product at

you use the coupon and your store

No coupon needed for some great
grand-opening sale prices offered at the
Plymouth Hometown Market. Among
the highlights are Shurfine apple juice
64-ounce bottles for 98 cents, Jif peanut
butter jars for 99 cents and one-pound
bags of Shurfine small peeled carrots
for 77 cents.
And last but certainly not least, CVS

50 cents a can. There is a limit of 10

fundamental untruth: If we tax only
the rich more, we can keep entitle-
ment programs just the way they
are. But the math doesn’t work that
way. As Rep. Paul Ryan explained,
“It’s mathematically impossible, if
you agree with [Obama’s proposed]
spending, to not tax everybody.”
There are legitimate arguments
about how progressive our tax sys-
tem should be; at what level of taxa-
tion do we risk impeding economic
growth; and which goals we want to
promote through the tax code (e.g.,
family economic stability, homeown-
ership, investment)? But we should
at least be clear on the facts and our
starting point. We can’t solve the
debt problem by grabbing more
money from the rich. And we simply
don’t have, as Obama asserts, a tax
system that undertaxes the rich.

CEO pay exceeds pre-recession level

By RACHEL BECK
AP Business Writer
NEW YORK — In the boar-
droom, it’s as if the Great Reces-
sion never happened.
CEOs at the nation’s largest
companies were paid better last
year than they were in 2007,
when the economy was booming,
the stock market set a record
high and unemployment was
roughly half what it is today.
The typical pay package for the
head of a company in the Stan-
dard & Poor’s 500 was $9 million
in 2010, according to an analysis
by The Associated Press using
data provided by Equilar, an exec-
utive compensation research
firm. That was 24 percent higher
than a year earlier, reversing two
years of declines.
Executives were showered
with more pay of all types — sala-
ries, bonuses, stock, options and
perks. The biggest gains came in
cash bonuses: Two-thirds of exec-
utives got a bigger one than they
had in 2009, some more than
three times as big.
CEOs were rewarded because
corporate profits soared in 2010
as the economy gradually got
stronger and companies contin-
ued to cut costs. Profit for the
companies in the AP analysis
rose 41 percent last year.
The stock market also contin-
ued its climb. Stocks rose 13 per-
cent in 2010 and have now almost
doubled since March 2009. The
market’s two-year run has fat-
tened executive bonuses because
some CEOs are rewarded for how
the company’s stock does.
Separately, the bull market has
left CEOs enormous paper gains
on stock and options they were
granted as part of pay packages in
2009 and 2010. They are already
worth $6.3 billion, 68 percent
more than the companies
thought they would be worth
over the lifetime of the grants.
The AP used the Equilar data
to analyze CEO pay packages at
334 companies in the S&P 500
that had filed statements with
federal regulators through April
29. Pay was analyzed at compa-
nies that had the same CEO in
both 2009 and 2010. The highest-
paid CEO in 2010 was Philippe
Dauman of Viacom, the enter-
tainment company that owns
MTV, Nickelodeon and Para-
mount Pictures. He received a
pay package valued at $84.5 mil-
lion, two and a half times what he
made the year before. To calcu-
late CEO pay, the AP adds an ex-
ecutive’s salary, bonuses, perks,
any interest on deferred pay
that’s above market interest
rates, and the value a company
places on stock and stock options
awarded during the year.
The median pay value of $9
million, calculated by Equilar, is
the midpoint of the companies
used in the AP analysis; half of
the CEOs made more and half
made less. In 2007, the median
pay was $8.4 million. In 2008 it
was $7.6 million, and in 2009 it
was $7.2 million. The $9 million
median for 2010 is the highest
since the AP began the analysis in
2006.
Meanwhile, pay for workers
grew 3 percent in 2010, to an aver-
age of about $40,500. The per-
centage increase was twice the
rate of inflation, but the average
wage was less than one-half of
one percent of what the typical
CEO in the AP analysis made.
Some critics of today’s execu-
tive pay say boards should con-
sider how much a CEO has accu-
mulated over the years when
they set the next year’s pay.
“Boards need to recognize that
many CEOs already have enough
in terms of motivation and life-
time wealth,” says Jesse Brill,
chair of the website Compensa-
tionStandards.com and an expert
on CEO pay. “It is very frustrating
to see boards keep giving them
more.”
“The pendulum has swung
back enough for many execu-
tives,” says Doug Friske, an exec-
utive-compensation consultant
at the firm Towers Watson. “Now
boards are going to have to think
about what they are going to do
from here.”
Their decisions will be
watched closely by shareholders.
Government rules passed last
year require almost every public
company to give investors a vote
at least once every three years on
what it pays its executives. The
votes aren’t binding, but they can
draw unwanted attention to a
CEO’s pay.
So far this year, shareholders at
only 12 companies have voted
against pay plans. One company
whose shareholders voted
against the pay plan was Stanley
Black & Decker. In 2010, it gave
CEO John Lundgren compensa-
tion valued at $32.6 million,
which made him the sixth-high-
est-paid on the AP’s list. His pay
included a one-time grant of
325,000 shares of stock valued at
$18.7 million.

“Our family decided that the
best use of this historic piece of
property would be to help
those in need and those strug-
gling with poverty issues. After
careful research, the plan for a
vertical garden, will help bring
good healthy food to those in
the community either at low or
no cost to those involved in this
hands-on project. The consen-
sus is that if we take care of our
citizens, it will help make our
city a better place,” he said.
Greco believed that the farm
will also be a community hub.
“The interconnectedness of
people will be good for the
community and for each oth-
er,” Greco said. The experience
of growing one’s own food will
give residents “more opportu-
nity to grow as a person.”
There are advantages to
growing produce indoors. In-
door crops don’t need soil but
waste.
Greco, a former pharmacist,
believes that proper nutrition
can prevent many of the illness-
es that require medications.
“We believe that what we eat
is connected to our health,” he
said. His slogan is “Food before
drugs.” He also promotes
healthful lifestyle changes.
Greco said that Hazleton is
an ideal location for the verti-
cal farm because of the lower
cost of purchasing property rel-
ative to locales like Manhattan.

PlayStation network hit by hackers

OFFICE COACH

Untrained HR manager must be included By CLIFF EDWARDS

By MARIE G. MCINTYRE
McClatchy-Tribune News Service
Q: One of my employees, “Ka-
trina,” has some performance is-
sues that I am trying to resolve.
However, some of her co-workers
have apparently decided to col-
lect their own “evidence” against
her. They record Katrina’s arrival
and departure times, track how
often she leaves her desk, and
scrutinize her emails for gram-
matical errors.
My boss and I want to stop this
harassment, but our human re-
sources manager supports the
perpetrators and says they are be-
ing helpful. Even though this
woman has absolutely no HR ex-
perience, we can’t challenge her
because her brother is the presi-
dent of our small company. What
should we do?
A: Under normal circumstanc-
es, I would suggest that you sim-
ply direct these overzealous
watchdogs to focus on their own
jobs and leave the supervision to
you. However, that might alien-
ate your untrained but well-con-
nected colleague, so try using a
more procedural approach.
Work with your boss to create a
detailed performance improve-
ment plan for Katrina, including
specific goals and timelines. Re-
view this document with the HR
manager and explain your mon-
itoring strategy.
For example: “I plan to closely
track Katrina’s progress and meet
with her weekly to provide feed-
back. Since I will be evaluating
her myself, I’m asking her cow-
orkers to stop scrutinizing her ac-
tivities. In addition to duplicat-
ing my efforts, this has begun to
distract them from their jobs.”
Unfortunately, many small-
company executives fail to com-
prehend that human resources
work should be performed by a
qualified professional. Although
they would never delegate ac-
counting or legal tasks to a com-
plete neophyte, they happily
hand over HR responsibilities to
any warm body who happens to
be available. When that person is
a relative, the results are fre-
quently disastrous.
Q: Even though I am a top per-
former, my pay is low based on
market comparisons. To be smart
about my career, I believe that I
should refuse to accept this me-
diocre salary. My performance re-
view is coming up, so I plan to
make my case for receiving mar-
ket-level compensation.
I made this request last year,
but nothing ever happened. It
seems weird that management
won’t work to keep me, because I
add value in so many ways. If I’m
offered a standard 5 percent
raise, how do I say, “Thanks, but
I’m worth more than that. What
can you do to bring my pay up to
market level”?
A: You certainly have no short-
age of confidence. However, justi-
fying a raise requires more than
confidence and compensation
data.
Salary decisions are based not
only on market comparisons, but
also on internal factors. For ex-
ample, how does your pay com-
pare with that of other employ-
ees? How close are you to the top
of your pay scale? Did your com-
pany have a good year financial-
ly?
You must also assess how
much leverage you have. Do you
possess unique knowledge or
hard-to-find skills? If you left,
would it be difficult to replace
you?
Most importantly, however,
you need to find out why your
previous request was rejected.
That would seem to be the obvi-
ous starting point for planning
your next approach.

Sony Corp., maker of the Play-

Tobyhanna Army Depot calling for historic photos

TOBYHANNA — Do you have
historic photos or documents
about the region’s largest employ-
er? If so, the Army (Depot) is
looking for you.
Tobyhanna Army Depot will
observe two significant mile-
stones in 2012 and 2013.
In 2012, Tobyhanna will cele-
brate the 100th anniversary of the
Army’s arrival, when the area was
first used as an Army field artil-
lery training site. In 2013, Toby-
hanna will commemorate the
60th anniversary of the opening
of Tobyhanna Signal Depot,
which occurred Feb. 1, 1953.
On June 4, Tobyhanna will con-
duct a Scanning Day from 9 a.m.
to 1 p.m. at The Landing on the
Depot property. Regional resi-
dents are invited to bring photos
and documents related to the Ar-
my’s presence at Tobyhanna over
the last century. Originals will be
scanned and returned while resi-
dents wait.
Donated items will supple-
ment the depot’s historic collec-
tion and may be used in displays,
publications and video produc-
tions over the next two years.
“We hope to expand our collec-
tion of historic photos and docu-
ments, and perhaps learn more
about Tobyhanna’s significance
to the region and to our nation
over the last 100 years,” said Mi-
chele Yeager, who is facilitating a
committee of depot employees
planning the twin observances.
“We are looking for photos, docu-
ments, newspaper articles and
other publications that will add
to our existing collection of infor-
mation. … We’re excited about
seeing what area residents will
share with us, particularly from
the 1912-1947, as well as during
the planning and construction of
the depot in the 1950s.”
For more information, call the
depot’s Public Affairs Office at
615-7308 or send email to mi-
chele.yeager@us.army.mil. To-
byhanna is located at Interstate
380’s Exit 8 in Monroe County.
The best sign that Sony’s asser-
tion is true may be the passage of
two weeks without reports from
credit-card issuers of wide-scale
fraud, according to an FBI cyber-
crime investigator who asked not
to be named because he wasn’t au-
thorized to speak to the press.
As more days go by, it’s less like-
ly card numbers were stolen or, if
they were, that potential losses
will be large, the person said.
The FBI’s San Diego office is in-
vestigating the matter, said agent
Darrell Foxworth, a spokesman
for the office.
Tokyo-based Sony said that the
attack on its PlayStation Network
and Qriocity online music and film
service in mid-April also gave hack-
ers access to data from Sony Online
Entertainment, a separate unit that
1at a Tokyo press conference.
Hackers exploited a known se-
curity vulnerability to gain access
to 77 million PlayStation Network
and Qriocity user names, address-
es, gender, birth dates and other
information, Sony said. It wasn’t
clear from the statement how
many of the 24.6 million accounts
in the newly reported breach
share duplicate user information.
The financial impact Sony faces
depends on how well the company
convinces customers it “will make
things right,” Michael Pachter, an
analyst with Wedbush Securities in
Los Angeles, said in an interview
withBloombergTelevision.Heesti-
mates credit-card fraud, repairs to
its networks and marketing costs
will amount to $50 million.

passwords may have been less vul-
nerable than originally thought-
.Sony has been recommending
people who use the same pass-
word for other unrelated services
or accounts change them. The
company also said it is moving its
data center from San Diego, ap-
pointing a chief information secu-
rity officer, updating game- con-
sole system software and requir-
ing users to change their pass-
words.
Sony said it expected online
services to be fully restored by
the end of May, with partial res-
toration occurring in phases
around the world beginning this
week. Customers may get com-
plimentary downloads and 30
days of free premium services,
Sony said.

IN THE ARENA
Six top picks
to win seats
on the bench
OF THE 16 judicial
contestants compet-
ing in the upcoming
primary, six will be-
come a judge.
The six candidates
nominated on May 17
and elected on Nov. 8
must don robes in January, shouldering
a heavy responsibility for the mainte-
nance of high character. Born of the fires
of recent years, the judicial class of 2012
must, at all cost, honor justice, support
reform, assert their independence and
safeguard their precious integrity.
Which six?
This morning, after weeks of careful
consideration, “In the Arena” is pre-
pared to endorse the following six can-
didates for the office of judge on the
Luzerne County Court of Common
Pleas.
Paula Radick of Hazle Township is a
cum laude graduate of King’s College
and earned her law degree from the
Dickinson School of Law. She has more
than 14 years of federal and state court
experience and is a Criminal Justice
Panel attorney for the Middle District of
Pennsylvania. Radick, 40, was the ma-
naging attorney at the Barbara Hart
Justice Center for victims of domestic
violence. She possesses a brilliant mind
that belongs on our court. Her inde-
pendence and integrity are solid. She
will not raise $100,000 for TV, mail and
billboard advertising. She believes
voters will make their decisions based
on qualifications and credentials. Let us
not disappoint her. (Visit www.paulafor-
judge.com.)
Lesa Gelb, 50, of Laflin has been
practicing law for a quarter century. She
is a graduate of Cornell University and
the Boston University School of Law.
Gelb will bring a powerful sense of
idealism, independence and honesty to
the Luzerne County bench. A native of
Wilkes-Barre, Gelb noted, “My hope is
that we will demand ethical leadership
from our elected officials and insist on a
new level of accountability to prevent a
recurrence of the damage that comes
from corruption.” (Visit www.lesafor-
judge.com.)
Richard Hughes, 50, of Mountain Top
possesses the demeanor, temperament
and broad experience required of a fine
jurist. A tough prosecutor, well versed
in all aspects of the law, Hughes is well
known for his integrity and strong char-
acter. (Visit www.hughes2011.com.)
Jim Haggerty, 45, of Kingston will
add a formidable intellect to the Court
of Common Pleas. A graduate of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
and Georgetown Law, Haggerty fin-
ished first in his class at Wyoming Valley
West. His neighbors made him mayor in
1998 and he recently led the effort for a
new county home rule charter. Now he
wants to reform the judiciary. Haggerty
will be a valuable and ethical addition to
our system of justice. (Visit www.hag-
gertyforjudge.com.)
Michael Vough, 46, of West Pittston is
older and wiser than his years. An assist-
ant district attorney for more than 20
years, Vough has 69 homicide convic-
tions, 150 jury trials and a 99.8 percent
conviction rate. Vough has earned a
stellar reputation and knows his way
around a courtroom. It’s time to make
him a judge. (Visit www.mike-
vough.com.)
John Aciukewicz, 52, of Trucksville is
a graduate of Nanticoke High School, a
PIAA basketball official and an accom-
plished lawyer. Active at St. Therese’s
Church in Shavertown, Aciukewicz
serves on the finance council, pastoral
council and as a sponsor for engaged
couples. He has aided the Sisters of
Mercy in Dallas and serves as an advisor
to Mercy Services. “I have tried to live
my life as a lawyer and member of my
church and community in a quiet yet
meaningful way.” The father of an ac-
tive-duty soldier serving in Iraq, Aciu-
kewicz hopes to achieve a renewed
sense of trust in the courts here at
home. (Visit www.johnaforjudge.intuit-

Not quite.
A decade later, Osama bin
Laden is dead and the old cho-
rus of pre-9/11 complacency has
returned. The war on terror is
over – yet again, it seems. Bin
Laden was but “a distraction,”
writes Peter Beinart, and the
war on terror “a mistake from
the start.” 9/11 was nothing
more than “an isolated case,”
argues Ross Douthat. And “bin
Laden was always the weak
horse.”
The new post-bin Laden dis-

Even the war in Iraq played an
(unintended) role. After its rout
from Afghanistan, al-Qaida
chose the troubled waters of
Iraq as the central front in its
war on America – and suffered a
stunning defeat, made partic-
ularly humiliating when its
fellow Sunni Arabs rose up to
join the infidel Americans in
subduing it.
Bin Laden declared war on us
in 1998. But it was not until 9/11
that we took him seriously. At

which, noted one critic, looks a
lot like police work, the kind of
law enforcement John Kerry
insisted in 2004 was the proper
prism through which to address
the terror threat.
On the contrary. The bin
Laden operation is the perfect
vindication of the war on terror.
It was made possible precisely
by the vast, war-like infrastruc-
ture that the Bush adminis-
tration created post-9/11, a fierce
regime of capture and interroga-
tion, of dropped bombs and
commando strikes. That regime,
of course, followed the more
conventional war that brought
down the Taliban, scattered and
decimated al-Qaida and made
bin Laden a fugitive.
Without all of this, the bin
Laden operation could never
have happened. Whence came
the intelligence that led to Ab-
bottabad? Many places, includ-
ing from secret prisons in Roma-
nia and Poland; from terrorists
seized and kidnapped, then
subjected to interrogations,
sometimes “harsh” or “en-
hanced”; from Gitmo detainees;
from a huge bureaucratic appara-
tus of surveillance and eaves-
dropping. In other words, from a
Global War on Terror infrastruc-
ture that critics, including Ba-
rack Obama, deplored as a tragic
detour from American rectitude.
It was all not just un-Amer-
ican, now say the revisionists,
but also unnecessary.
Really? We could never have
pulled off the bin Laden raid
without a major military pres-
ence in Afghanistan. The chop-
pers came from our massive
base at Bagram. The jump-off
point was Jalalabad. The in-
intention of capturing him. And
for good reason. Doing so would
have been insane, gratuitously
granting him a second life of
immense publicity on a world-
wide stage from which to propa-
gandize.
We came to kill. That is what
you do in war. Do that in police
work – and you’ve committed
murder. The Navy SEAL(s) who
pulled the fateful trigger would
be facing charges, not receiving
medals.
You want to say we’ve now
won the war? Fine. It’s at least
an arguable proposition. After
all, the war on terror will end
one day and we will return to
policing the odd terrorist nut-
case. I would argue, however,
that while bin Laden’s death
marks an extremely important
inflection point in the fight
against jihadism, it’s far too early
to declare victory.
Now, it is one thing to have an
argument about whether it’s
over. It’s quite another to claim
that our reaching this happy day
– during which we can even be
debating whether victory has
been achieved – has nothing to
do with the war on terror of the
previous decade. Al-Qaida is not
subsiding on its own. It is not
retiring from the field, having
seen the error of its ways. It is
not disappearing because of
some inexorable law of history
or nature. It is in retreat because
of the terrible defeats it suffered
once America decided to take
up arms against it, a campaign
known as the war on terror.

Choose wisely
in council race
A
s a resident of Luzerne
County, I am very con-
cerned about the county
council race. Considering the
county’s $400 million-plus
debt, everyone else should be,
too.
I recall when a vacancy
occurred in the commission-
ers’ office, and how the appli-
cations for that position were
scrutinized in depth, and
justifiably so. There were
many people who had a lot of
good qualifications, extensive
education and experience. But
the person chosen ranked
highest.
The Luzerne County Coun-
cil candidates should be
looked at by the voters in the
same manner. If one’s friend is
running, who is also a very
nice person, that person can
remain just that; but ask your-
self if that’s ample reason for a
vote for Luzerne County
Council.
We all need to be looking at
the biographies of the candi-
dates and the newspaper in-
terviews. All of our county
taxes, roads, bridges – and
much, much more – depends
on the most qualified person
with the education and experi-
ence for the massive under-
taking ahead. Everyone cho-
sen should also be able to
work with others professional-
ly to solve problems.
Good luck to all those who
had the courage to run; you
are all to be commended.
Also, good luck to all the
voters in choosing the most
educated, qualified and experi-
enced in your party on May

has taken a great interest in

marriage, I moved back
into my mother’s home
along with a college-aged son
and two dogs. Mom was there
with open arms to share her
home.
Shortly after, my older son
moved in and also had his son
there on weekends. Again, my
mom was there opening her
home and her heart to her
family.
I cannot say it always has
been idyllic; there were many
disagreements. But there was
always love. My mother was

the heart and soul of our fam-
ily and was there whenever we
needed her. Last year, I put up
her Christmas tree during the
first week of November, since
I would be away visiting my
younger son through the
Thanksgiving holiday. She
waited every year for the tree
to go up to herald the coming
of Christmas, her very favorite
holiday. I thank God every day
that I took the time to put up
the tree early because 10 days
before Christmas the Lord
called her home quite sudden-
ly.
We miss her every day.
Tomorrow is promised to no
one. You cannot know when
there will suddenly be no
more Christmas trees, no
more Mother’s Days, no more
lunches out, or so many little
things that we all take for
granted.
So, this year when you go
see your mom for Mother’s
Day, please give her a hug
from me. Tell her it is from
someone who is really feeling
the loss of her mom today.
Remember, tomorrow does
not always come; so love her
today.

Radick backed
for bench seat
I
’m extremely pleased to
support Paula Radick, a
candidate for Luzerne Coun-
ty judge.
I have known Paula and her
family since she was a child.
Paula’s late father, Paul Rad-
ick, was a friend and fellow
Lion’s club member. Paula has
the experience, integrity and
fairness to serve the people of
Luzerne County.
Your vote for judge in this
primary is vital, because the
decisions of the Luzerne
County Court impact anyone
who lives, works or raises a
family in the county. Paula’s
strong background, wide va-
riety of legal experience, in-
tellect and integrity make her
the perfect candidate.
Paula has spent much of her
career working on behalf of
the people of this county and
is committed to bringing
integrity and transparency
back to county court. She is a
former prosecutor in the Lu-
zerne County District At-
torney’s Office, worked on
behalf of victims of domestic
violence (providing pro bono
family law services) and has
trial experience in both state
and federal court. She has
been endorsed by the Fra-
ternal Order of the Police,
Wyoming Valley Lodge No.
36.
Paula is a graduate of MMI
Preparatory School, King’s
College and the Dickinson
School of Law of the Penn-
sylvania State University, and
has earned many accolades
and admirers for her work. In
2003, Paula received the Out-
standing Young Lawyer of the
Year Award from the Wilkes-
Barre Law and Library Associ-

sion for her volunteer service;
and in July of 2003, she re-
ceived the Distinguished Ser-

Vote to continue
Rice Twp. efforts
T
he May 17 primary elec-
tion is a very important
one for the voters of Rice
Township.
During the last 16 months,
the township has moved for-
ward under the current board
majority. Recycling has been
expanded to include plastic,
newspaper, used motor oil,
antifreeze, used clothing and
shoes. Two streets were paved
at no cost to the township, as
a result of agreements with
developers. A security camera
system was installed to cover
the township building and
park grounds for the safety
and protection of those who
use those facilities.
Unlike many municipalities
in Luzerne County, Rice
Township is in sound financial
condition due to increased
revenues, cost-cutting mea-
sures and prudent spending –
along with no tax increases by
the current board majority. We
have a road department and
police department second to
none.
Two outstanding candidates
for the position of supervisor
are on the ballot. Donald
Armstrong, on the Republican
ballot, and Louis Konopelski,
on the Democratic ballot, are
dedicated to public service.
They will continue moving
the township forward. Based
on your party affiliation,
please vote for one on May 17.

Additionally, the three
township auditors, Toni Ro-
gan, Elaine Wallace and Rhon-

tireless efforts while conduct-

T
he memory of the ’72 flood
is still seared into people’s
minds. The threat of dev-
astating flooding, both large
and small, always looms over
the city.
The mayor has backed up
his word to protect the city by
improving the city’s flood-
protection systems from one
end of the city to the other.
Four new bridges were con-
structed in South Wilkes-
Barre, along with the Brook-
side levee system and up-
grades to the Weir Street
Pump Station, which totaled
more than $200,000.
My family has lived in
Brookside for more than 80
years, and due to the mayor’s
leadership we feel safe in our
homes. A few months ago, I
called the mayor to report
some flooding in this area and
he immediately directed his
employees to respond.
Mayor Tom Leighton and
his team have proven time and
again through at least five
major storms that they are
effective emergency managers.
The mayor also has the rela-

for these vital flood protection
projects.

cemetery cleanup
I
recently spent two days
cleaning the cemeteries of
my in-laws, parents and
other deceased family mem-
bers. I try to do this as often
as I can.
Mount Olivet was in the
worst shape I have seen it in
since 1994. It was very up-
setting to see my parent’s final
resting place in this condition.
Grass almost to my knee, and
barely visible gravestones.
I believe that my parents
deserve better. My father,
father-in-law and all of my
uncles are Armed Forces vet-
erans. I believe that they also
deserve better. Many veterans’
gravestones were barely vis-
ible. Most of them, and their
wives, sacrificed much to
make this country great. I
believe that we owe them a
nice resting place.
Each gravestone has a story
to tell. Each one was a life
lived. Each one is like a book
to be read. Can’t we at least
make their covers visible?
Maybe we could have a day
set aside for volunteer clean-
up work at all of our local
cemeteries. With Memorial
Day fast approaching, this
would be a nice gesture to the
memories of those who sacri-
ficed much for us and asked
little in return. I’ll be there.
I remember as a young boy
going with my parents to visit
cemeteries. They always were
in much better condition than
today. It would be nice to see

need to discredit me because
he perceives me as a threat.
Well, allow me to set the re-

The relatives referred to in

anything about them prior to

needs to address the number
of wives, brothers, daughters,

this board has hired, and the

Concerning the wrongful
termination lawsuit filed by
William Simmons: Yes, I did
vote with the board to termi-
nate him. However, the first I
heard of this issue was at my
first board meeting. I am not
at liberty to discuss the details
of this matter because all of
my information was gleaned
during a series of personnel
meetings, which are not open
to the public or discussion.
With that said, the matter is in
litigation and, through coun-
cil, I have provided the facts
that demonstrate what was
done by administration and
the other board members,
noting that I relied on the
advice of our solicitor, Ray
Hassey, for direction on what
should be done. Suffice it to
say that based on the content
of the lawsuit filed by Mr.
Simmons, Mr. Holland’s letter
should read “Now the tax-
payers face another potential
wrongful termination lawsuit
thanks in NO part to Dr. Cam-
penni’s vote.”
Wyoming Area taxpayers,
do your homework and get the
facts about the candidates
running for Wyoming Area
School Board in the next elec-

“My grandmothers are sweet as

ming Seminary Lower School
“Sometimes I think the things they (grandparents) say to
me are so lame and out of date, but when I think about
it sometimes they are right. Of course, I don’t think I’ve
ever told them I thought they were. I think the shock
would stun them speechless.” - Molly McCoy,
High School
“The life lessons I learned outside the classroom from
my mother have shaped me as a daughter, as a student,
and as a young woman.” - Kelly Shiptoski,
High School
“My wish is that millions of children around the world
would be blessed with parents like mine.” - Brooke
Alicen Rowe, West Side Career & Technology Center
“Her example motivated me to complete twenty-
six marathons, the last in October 2010, at age
sixty-one. - Shari Philmeck
“What I have learned from my parents could not
have been taught by watching video games, tele-
vision, or computers. They led by example. It was
not do as I say, but do as I do.”

“I know that somewhere up there my mother &
father are looking down and smiling at the way
we turned out and all I can say is “thank you”, for
your tolerance, wisdom and understanding.”

WORDS FROM SPONSORS

Mike McDowell, Dallas

to have respect for all, and
to strive to always do bet-
ter… Parents have a sixth
sense about what is right
and wrong.”
Jeff & Susan Metz,

“To enjoy life, laugh often,

Rachel A. Pugh,

In honor of parents, Thomas
& Christine Pugh
“I have learned countless
lessons from my parents
throughout my life. But one
of significance importance
to me, one that I try to live
daily through my profes-
sional and personal life is
that of service. My parents
have taught me that my
legacy should live through
the acts I have committed
to help others. My self worth
should be measured not by
who I am but rather what I
have done.”
Charles Cohen,
Allentown
In honor of parents, Mr. &
Mrs. Lawrence Cohen
“I have learned the value of
investing in the future, per-
sonal development, educa-
tion, and sacrificing today
for tomorrow’s success.”
David Grudkowski,
Dallas
In honor of Henry and De-
nise Grudkowski
“We were not a family of
hugs and kisses and “I love
you” was not an everyday
phrase, but reserved only
for special occasions. You
sent a message though,
that I knew with complete
certainty – that you loved
me, you enjoyed being with
me and it would always be
that way. Growing up, it is
easy to take your parents
for granted, but as I get old-
er, I realize the importance
of your gift. I share that
same message and now my
daughter knows she is most
important to her parents.
Just as I believed your mes-
sage and was never afraid
to fail, I hope she has the
courage to explore, to dis-
cover, to attempt, to strive.
Thank you Mom and Dad. I
love you too.”
Richard Kramer,
Edwardsville
In honor of parents, Mr. &
Mrs. Albert Kramer
“My parents, through word
and deed, showed my sister
and me to always support
family and friends, to give
the best that’s in us, and to
take responsibility for our
actions.”
Eric Lee, Jr., MA
& Erica Lee, CA
In honor of parents, Eric &
Rose Lee
“Education is the key to
success. Learn something
new every day. With hard
work, determination and
focus, you can reach almost
any goal you set. Make a
difference and be a good
person. Try your best, it is
enough. Remember where
you came from and the
struggles of the generations
before you. Learn from their
trials and their successes.
When times are hard, you
can always count on God
and your family.”
Stephen Davidowitz,
Dallas
In honor of parents,
William and Esther
Davidowitz
“To love and support family
and contribute to commu-
nity.”
Ramah Hackett,
Shavertown
“My mom lived her life with
joy and with goodness.
And although it was far
too short, it was truly lived.
She taught me through her
example that our days are
a gift to be appreciated,
cherished and revered. If
there was ever a person
who danced gracefully, yet
with strength, through life,
no matter what the circum-
stances... it was my mother.”
Mary Ann McGrath
Roberts, Dallas
In honor of Tom &
Florence McGrath
“What I most learned from
my parents is to rely on your
faith and stand beside your
family through the joys and
sorrows of life. My father re-
cently passed away leaving
behind a legacy of faith to
his family. My parent’s phi-
losophy was simple. They
taught us from an early age
how important our faith in
God would be throughout
our lives, as was being a
family, and allowing others
to be a part of our extended
family. During these last few
weeks since my father’s
death it has been
no surprise to learn how
many people knew how im-
portant faith and family was
to my parents. They encour-
aged and supported their
children and grandchildren,
loving each of them equally
and unconditionally. I hope
that I am able to pass the
same philosophy on to my
own children.”
Rev. Thomas J. O’Hara,
C.S.C., Ph.D.,
Wilkes-Barre
“My dad was a miner and my
mom a garment worker and
they taught me invaluable
lessons:
I have learned that deter-
mination, willingness to work
hard and faith in God and
oneself are essential keys to
personal success.
The world does not revolve
around my own needs and in
assisting others I ultimately
learn more about myself and
receive more in return.”

the radiation detectors used at
the ports couldn’t detect a Hi-
roshima-sized bomb wrapped in
aluminum foil, and that it would
be easy to put a milk jug holding
a dirty bomb in the trunk of one
of 800,000 cars arriving, unin-
spected, at the same seaports.
After the 9/11 hijackings and a
series of other al-Qaida attempts
to blow up passenger jets, U.S. of-

cockpit doors and full-body pas-
senger screening. Some question
whether it was necessary to also
dispatch unidentified, armed air
marshals on selected flights.
However, money for emergen-
cy response programs by state
and local governments should be
protected, said Frank Cilluffo, a
former Bush administration
counterterrorism adviser. If Con-
gress trims homeland security,
he said, “maybe it means less

money on building out intelli-

Well before the bin Laden kill-
ing, Jenkins flew to Williams-
burg, Va., in January to appear at
a retreat for freshmen members
of Congress, including newly
elected tea party members bent
on slashing federal spending. He
suggested that the 10th year
since Sept. 11 was a time to re-
view all the counterterrorism
measures put in place since the
attacks.
“Right after Sept. 11, we did a
lot of things because there was a
great deal of uncertainty,” Jen-
kins said. “We had no idea of how
many more 9/11s might be in the
pipeline — large-scale oper-
ations.”
As a result, he said, U.S. offi-
cials became too caught up in
identifying major vulnerabilities,
instead of focusing on actual ter-
rorist threats.
In an “open industrialized,
technology-dependent society,”
he said, vulnerabilities are “vir-
tually infinite.”
The current climate, he said,
offers a chance for America to re-
visit those decisions and “get
smarter.”

riends, relatives and enemies have gathered for
the funeral of Tony Alto, don of a crime family
similar to HBO’s “The Sopranos” – get it? – “only
lower.”
Lots of folks in this dinner-theater piece want to know
who put the contract out on Tony.
“So, why clam up and take the secret to your grave?”
Tony’s trophy wife, Toffee, sings at one point to a wound-
ed hit man. “Finger the fink. Think of the trouble you’ll
save.”
“Just blow the whistle. Drop a dime on the guy,” Tony’s
mother, Nona, chimes in. “We’ll go investigate as soon as
you die.”

COMMENTARY
Bond forged
by soaps is
slipping away
By JENEE OSTERHELDT
McClatchy Newspapers
As a little girl, she watched them with
her mother. As a mother, she watched
them with her little girl.
They are her soaps: “All My Children,”
“One Life to Live” and “General Hospi-
tal.”
So when I called my mama last week
to break the news that two of her three
favorite shows had been canceled, she
was in disbelief. How could ABC possi-
bly pull the plug on “AMC” in Septem-
ber and “OLTL” next January?
That won’t be enough time to wrap up
story lines that have been developing for
more than 40 years.
But that’s the problem. Times have
changed. And daytime television is tak-
ing a different direction.
Brian Frons, the president of daytime
TV at the Disney ABC television group,
said viewers are look-
ing for a more informa-
Nothing tive and authentic kind
provides of show that focuses on
escape and “real life.”
To that, my mama
easy con- said, “What?” She may
versation like not relate to the charac-
the people of ters on her soap op-
Pine Valley, eras, but she knows
them.
Llanview and “It’s been an ongoing
Port Charles. movie that I’ve
watched since I was
young. And they are
just taking them away.”
When she wants real life, she watches
the news or turns to Oprah. But to her,
daytime television is for escaping real
life. And nothing provides escape and
easy conversation like the people of Pine
Valley, Llanview and Port Charles.
For as long as I can remember, these
shows have been our safe place to con-
nect. We don’t have a lot in common. But
the bickering, expectations and indiffer-
ence always fall to the wayside when
we’re talking soaps.
It may sound strange. But let’s be hon-
est: Mothers and daughters have a crazy
kind of love. That roller coaster of emo-
tions you ride with your mom is a topsy-
turvy adventure that never seems to
end. Most of the time, you don’t want it
to.
And the things that tie us together are
as funny and as dramatic as a soap opera.
It just so happens that the soaps are a big
part of the bond my mother and I share.
I can close my eyes right now and the
memories of watching with her are clear.
I can just see her sitting on our couch,
usually with a pack of Virginia Slims on
the table, a can of Pepsi in hand and a
Snickers bar nearby. She always gave me
each character’s history.
A few years ago, I wrote about our
soapy love. She said when I joined her in

Director Rob Marshall jumped right in
on the sword fights and other action in
“On Stranger Tides,” saying the song-
and-dance moves he crafted in such mu-
sicals as “Chicago” and “Nine” were
good training ground.
“I think a lot of people were surprised I
was doing action,” Marshall said. “But
it’s choreography. It’s absolutely chore-
ography. So I felt the most at home in the
big battle scenes with lots of people
there, and working with stunt people
who are like dancers. Oddly enough, it
was right up my alley.”

NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD PUZZLE HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Privately acknowledge
to yourself that there is
indeed a mysterious world
inside of you. The one who
recognizes that there is
something special in you
will capture your heart.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
You will draw people close
to you without consciously
realizing what you are
doing or why. This natural
magnetism is always in
you, but you intuitively
know when to tone it
down. Today it is particu-
larly strong.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
You may wonder why you
are regularly chosen to
take charge. You don’t ask
for the job, and yet it is
handed to you time and
again. It’s because you
communicate like a leader.
That’s why you keep get-
ting asked to lead.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
As much as you’d like to
contribute to the conver-
sation, your real job will
be to manage it, to keep
it positively focused and
close off the bad options,
making it difficult for
people to say things they
might later regret.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Stay
with what’s going on in
the room. It will be excit-
ing and thought provoking,
but try not to let the ideas
send you off on a fantasy
tangent. Also, refrain
from starting a mental
argument that only you
can hear.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Your enthusiasm and
laughter add to the
emotional sunshine of
the day. Because you are
5/8/11 present when the positive
feelings are flowing, the
warm glow of this good

aggression ever could.

— you only want to live,
love and be happy. Others
feel your good will and
give you what you want.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
The news shocks, inspires
and expands you. You’ll
learn about the world
and then reconsider your
reality. The importance of
kindness and compassion
is clearly emphasized.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You think of the rea-
sons and ways in which
you love your current
life. New enthusiasm
takes hold. The negative
and neutral thoughts will
pass quickly, and the pow-
erfully positive feelings
will remain.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Humans that are basi-
cally the same will express
themselves in radically
different ways. You see
the underlying common-
alities among people and
find a way to bridge com-
munication gaps.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
You are present to con-
gratulate your loved ones.
Being in on their successes
makes you feel connected.
But you have your own
successes to celebrate,

too. They are what make
CRYPTOGRAMS it so easy for you to relate
to theirs.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Networking opportunities
sneak up on you. And yet,
because you’re the real
deal, walking your talk
every day, you are always
ready to meet and impress
powerful people.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May
8). You find a niche and
contribute in a way that
you will be proud of for
years to come. You take
your time in a relation-
ship through the next 10
weeks, and you will get
maximum satisfaction
because of this pacing. An
unpleasant situation turns
around completely in June
— freedom at last! August
brings financial good for-
tune. Capricorn and Virgo
people adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 21, 39,
17, 8 and 34.

ADVICE
Daughter works to
honor mom’s memory
Dear Abby:
It’s Mother’s
Day, so I
hope you’ll
allow me to
share how I
memorialize
my mom today since she is
no longer living.
My mother was a nurse
for many years and worked
well past retirement age.
She finally had to quit when
her body could no longer
keep up with the physical
demands of the job. She was
an extremely caring and
self-sacrificing person who
would help anyone at any
time. She was also a “softie”
when it came to homeless
animals.
I honor her by always mak-
ing a point of being sched-
uled to work on Mother’s
Day. By doing so, I’m hoping
it will free up someone else
to spend time with her/his
mother. Then I add up my
earnings for the day and do-
nate that amount to the local
animal shelter.
Bonus Puzzle I can think of no better
way to honor the wonderful
woman who molded me and
gave me the basis of who I
am today.
— Celebrating Mom
in Liberty, Texas
Dear Celebrating Mom:
Your mother raised a
thoughtful, caring and gener-
ous child. I’m sure she was
as proud of you as you are of
her. Thank you for sharing.

Dear Abby: I’m a recent
widower. My divorced niece
is 15 years younger than I
am. We are not blood rela-
tives, so would a potential
couple relationship be ethi-
cal and appropriate in your
opinion?
The age difference is
not a significant issue be-
cause we have known each
other for quite some time.
I say we’re good to go! My
niece disagrees. Please
advise.
— Feels Like a Kid Again
in Minnesota
Dear Like A Kid Again:
Snap out of it! My opinion
on this matter isn’t nearly as
relevant as what your niece
thinks about it. Because the
idea makes her uncomfort-
able, you should let it go
before you embarrass both
of you.
Dear Readers: A happy
Mother’s Day to mothers
everywhere — birth moth-
ers, adoptive and foster
mothers, and stepmothers
— and especially to my own
beautiful mother, Pauline
Phillips, in Minneapolis.
To receive a collection of Abby’s
most memorable — and most fre-
quently requested — poems and
essays, send a business-sized, self-
addressed envelope, plus check

Rob Lowe writes frankly about love, sex, partying and more
By SUSAN KING
Los Angeles Times
SANTA MONICA, Calif. —
Rob Lowe notes that his two
sons, Matthew, 17, and Johno-
wen, 14, have read his breezy au-
tobiography, “Stories I Only Tell
My Friends,” but adds with a
laugh, only “under duress.”
“They read it as an assign-
ment when it became clear that
the Oprah Winfrey show wanted
to talk to them about it,” Lowe
said in a recent interview. “Only
then did they decide to read
Dad’s book.”
Their reaction?
“They were like, ‘Oh, Dad.
Come on.’ I am lucky if I can get
them interested in anything that
I am doing at this point.”
The former “Brat Pack” heart-
throb of such films as 1983’s
“The Outsiders” and 1985’s “St.
Elmo’s Fire” recently turned 47.
But as anyone who saw his shirt-
less pose on the cover of the re-
cent Vanity Fair can attest, time
has been
kind for
the eter-
nally
handsome
Lowe.
This af-
ternoon,
Lowe is
sitting in
his sunny
office at
Miramax in Santa Monica, Calif.
Lowe is an investment partner
with Tom Barrack and Colony
Capital, which has a stake in Mi-
ramax. The movie company that
was created by Harvey and Bob
Weinstein was recently bought
by several investors. “The first
acquisition in our media fund
was Miramax,” he explains.
“It’s really obvious that it’s the
one thing I would be able to
bring to the table with my area
of expertise navigating the rela-
tionships with Hollywood. The
deal just closed 90 days ago and
we have been culling from the
250 books and scripts in various
stages of development that Har-
vey and Bob spent untold mil-
lions getting to this point.”
Lowe talks about everything
in “Stories I Only Tell My
Friends,” such as finding his
first brush with success on an
ABC sitcom at the age of 15, and
his romances with Melissa Gil-
bert and Princess Stephanie
among many others, and his re-
lentless partying, the infamous
1988 sex tape, his 1989 disas-
trous appearance on the Acade-
my Awards, his realization in
1990 that he was an alcoholic,
his happy, 20-year marriage to
makeup artist Sheryl Berkoff
and why he left his role as Sam
Seaborn on “The West Wing” af-
ter four seasons.
The actor doesn’t think it was
a case of “too much too soon”
that lead to him abusing alco-
hol.
“I am an alcoholic,” he says
matter-of-factly. “I have been so-
ber for 20 years. It will be 21
years on May 10. If I had been a
lawyer or a doctor or a tennis
pro, I probably would have had
very similar issues.”
Still, he admits, Hollywood
turned a blind eye to such exces-
sive behavior in the 1980s.
“There is much less tolerance in
Hollywood — the stuff that used
to go on would not be tolerated
today.”
When Lowe, his mother and
sibling moved to Malibu from
Ohio in the 1970s, Lowe became
tight with Emilio Estevez and
Charlie Sheen and hung out at
the Sheen household in Malibu.
Lowe writes about his partying
spree with Sheen in 1986 when
they were both on location in
New York City — Lowe was
making “Masquerade” and
Sheen was starring in “Wall
Street.”
So what does he think about
Sheen’s outrageous actions to-
day? Lowe measures his words
carefully.
“As you know from the book,
any time you are talking about
someone you have known since
you were 13 years old ... any dis-
cussion about Charlie has to be
framed with who he represents
to me and who that family repre-
sents to me. I love him. He
knows I’m really concerned
about him. We agree to disagree
about the value of certain recov-
ery groups and certain pro-
grams. I am happy to watch his
experiment and see how it
goes.”
Lowe’s name was even ban-
died about to replace Sheen on
“Two and a Half Men,” the CBS
comedy series that the actor
was fired from earlier this year.
But Lowe says he’s back next
season on NBC’s comedy “Parks
and Recreation” as Chris Traeg-
er, the eternally optimistic
health-food nut who is the inter-
im Pawnee city manager.

Salina: simple beauty in
Italy’s Aeolian islands
By GIOVANNA DELL’ORTO
For The Associated Press
SALINA ISLAND, Italy — As I
watch the sun set from my terrace
on the west coast of Salina, one of
Italy’s Aeolian Islands, I marvel
again that the stone headrest I am
lying against is so inexplicably
comfortable.
Its effect is like so much else on
this harsh volcanic island, located
in the clearest Mediterranean wa-
ters: Salina’s very starkness sooth-
ingly lulls you into contemplating
its simple beauty.
Vacationers — including celebs
such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Nao-
mi Campbell and even the design-
er duo Dolce and Gabbana — flock
to the islands in this archipelago
off the northeastern shore of Sicily,
named after the Greek god of wind
and inhabited for millennia. Salina
also has its share of famous vis-
itors, especially since scenes from
the Oscar-winning “Il Postino”
were filmed on one of its beaches,
and you could spend an afternoon
here cafe-hopping in one of its
ports, or splurge on a stay at a
smattering of luxury hotels. But
there are plenty of places to escape
the crowds and take in its idyllic
side, as a low-key haven of reddish
volcanic rock speckled with palms,
olive and lemon trees, and fuchsia
clumps of bougainvillea.
I spent five days last summer at
a caper farm in Pollara, a hamlet of
less than 100 people in the half-
sunken crater of a tall volcano that
turns pink at dusk and pitch-black
at night, unmarred by street lights.
It made perfect sense here to
pass an evening listening to a
gecko’s jaws methodically clamp-
ing on its moth snacks, in such ut-
ter stillness that the sudden sound
of two teenagers laughing down
the street lit up the windows of
several sleepy households.
Farm owner Giuseppe Famula-
ro took me around the caper fields
he inherited when he was 12 from
his father, one of the few islanders

who didn’t emigrate to the Amer-
icas or Australia after a bug de-
stroyed the island’s crops.
As he told me how his family
and half a dozen others started
over with the local Nocellara varie-
ty of caper, I was struck by how
much the resilient, labor-intensive
plant is a stand-in for life on this is-
land.
The sweet, compact caper is the
early blossom of a bush that rises a
foot off the ground before spread-
ing its branches out like fountain
splashes under the relentless sun
— typically it doesn’t rain a drop
here from May through August.
Throughout that time, each mi-
nuscule caper must be picked by
hand every eight days, avoiding
the painful thorn that grows right
underneath it, for a total of nearly
9,000 pounds each season. The
capers then ferment under sea salt
for at least two months before be-
coming the staple of the island’s
cuisine and a slow-food certified
delicacy, used in Famularo’s
unique “pesto di capperi di Sali-
na.”
“This is work of the soil, and you
need to love it,” said Anna Alizzo,
who started picking capers on Sali-
na as a child and whose personal
record is 77 pounds in one back-
breaking morning on Famularo’s
farm.
“Nobody wants to work in this
field, but it’s still enough for local
young people to stay,” said Famu-
laro, in his 30s and with a young
daughter.
The only other major crop on
the island is Malvasia grapes,
which produce the eponymous
dessert wine whose powerful, hon-
eyed taste reflects its origin: Hand-
picked from volcanic slopes, the
grapes are sun-dried over reed
gratings for nearly a month, said
Gaetano Marchetta.
“It is our choice to produce it
with very traditional methods,”
even though that means only get-

ting some 660 gallons a year, Mar-
chetta said. He inherited the win-
ery, Azienda Agricola Marchetta,
in the village of Malfa four miles
from Pollara, from his uncle, who
tended it for 50 years.
The most ancient tradition of
Salina is fishing, especially tuna
and swordfish, so I trusted a fisher-
man born and raised in Malfa, An-
tonello “il pescatore” Randazzo, to
take me on day-trips to three other
islands with a dozen other vaca-
tioners.
One day we traveled west about
an hour to Filicudi and tiny Alicu-
di, the wildest and least developed
Aeolian islands, their bare cliffs
showing all the violence of volcan-
ic eruptions.
Cubic white houses, flat-roofed
to gather rainwater and connected
via steep stairways, plus a few
stone walls dating from1,800 B.C.,
dot the islands. If you stay in Alicu-
di, your valet is going to be Otto or
one of his colleagues — sturdy

Another day we headed east to
Stromboli, an active volcano relia-

perfectly conical, as if a child had
drawn it.
On the boat, Antonello served
his signature pasta with fresh-

large center island hosts a butcher block countertop,

breakfast bar and a second sink. This kitchen has
plenty of sass thanks to large windows, tangerine
walls, stainless steel appliances, and a pressed stain-
less steel backsplash accenting the wall behind the
gas cook top.
The laundry offers nearly 11 feet of linear coun-
tertop workspace adjacent to the kitchen and can
also serve as a butler’s pantry, a huge bonus when
entertaining. A nearby door leads to the attached two-
car garage. There is a full security system and stereo
wiring throughout.
Open to the kitchen, the adjacent family room mea-
sures 12-by-15 and provides French doors that open
rear to the patio. There are more amazing windows
here, bringing in light from every direction.
A first floor powder room is tucked off the foyer
behind a hidden door, that when closed is flush with
the wainscoting. It features a grey marble vanity with
a stainless steel sink.
Upstairs, the design fun just continues. A second
floor loft makes a striking 12-by-23 office. A full wall
bookcase creates an adjacent library. The master
suite includes a 16-by-18 bedroom with 11-by-16 dress-
ing room, offering three full walls of built-ins and
closets.
Sure to generate plenty of ooohs and aaahs, the
master bath has a marble tile floor and an open mar-
ble shower with jetted tub set into a marble surround.
There is contemporary styling on two walls sinks with
matching mirrors.
A nearby 10-by-17 bedroom is lovingly decorated
and has a private bath with marble floor and a marble
tub and shower surround. Two additional bedrooms
on this level share a third full bath. There is both a
front and a back staircase.
The two full bedrooms on the third floor could
easily be mistaken for sunrooms due to the amount of
natural light streaming in from large windows and an SPECIFICATIONS:
