BOSTON Plucking a couple of
blurry faces in baseball caps out of a
swarming crowd, the FBI zeroed in on
two suspects in the Boston Marathon
bombing and shared surveillance-
camera images of them with the world
Thursday in hopes the public will help
hunt them down.
The photos and video depict one
young man in a dark cap and another in
a white cap worn backward, both carry-
ing backpacks and one walking behind
the other on the sidewalk near the n-
ish line as marathoners run by.
The man in the white hat was seen
setting down a backpack at the site
of the second explosion, said Richard
DesLauriers, FBI agent in charge in
Boston.
Somebody out there knows these
individuals as friends, neighbors, co-
workers or family members of the sus-
pects, he said. Though it may be dif-
cult, the nation is counting on those
with information to come forward and
provide it to us.
They looked much like typical col-
lege students, but DesLauriers de-
scribed them as armed and extremely
dangerous, and urged anyone who sees
or knows them to tell law enforcement
and do not take any action on your
own.
The break in the investigation came
just three days after the attack that
killed three people, tore off limbs and

WILKES-BARRE With his
existing defense team intact,
double murder suspect Hugo
Selenski will stand trial on June
24, a county judge said Thurs-
day.
But the sister of homicide
victim Tammy Fassett says she
is not going to
hold her breath
for the trial
that has been
delayed many
times over the
years. In two
weeks, itll be
11 years (since
Fassett was
murdered) ,
said Lisa Sands of Meshoppen.
My sister would say: Hang on.
Be strong.
The scheduled trial date came
after a nearly four-hour hearing,
which included a closed-door
discussion between a judge and
Selenskis attorney regarding
the defense attorneys claim
they havent been paid for their
recent pretrial work and a re-
quest to be taken off the case.
Selenski, 39, of Kingston
Township, is awaiting trial in
connection with the May 3, 2002
deaths of Michael Kerkowski
and Fassett, both 38. Their bod-
ies were unearthed from the
property where Selenski was liv-
ing in June 2003.
Two weeks ago, Selenskis at-
torneys, Shelley Centini and Ed-
ward Rymza, led court papers
seeking to be taken off Selenskis
case, stating they hadnt been
paid since October and never
signed up for pro bono work.
We have to stop working if
were not being paid, Centini
told Judge Fred Pierantoni on
Thursday. Were being forced
into servitude.

PITTSTON TWP. The
Federal Aviation Administration
has signed off on a plan that will
allow the Pennsylvania Depart-
ment of Transportation to em-
bark on a multimillion-dollar
project on Wilkes-Barre/Scran-
ton International Airport land to
improve airport access.
On Thursday Lackawanna
County Commissioner Corey D.
OBrien called the news a big
deal and said it will open up
more than 100 acres of undevel-
oped airport land to economic
development. OBrien is a mem-
ber of the Bi-County Board of
Commissioners that oversees
the airport.
PennDOT plans to start a
long-awaited project this sum-
mer that will accomplish two
things:
Reconfguration of the In-
terstate 81 interchange that will
consolidate what is four on- and
off-ramps in the Avoca area into
two.
Create a series of four
roundabouts that will change
the look of the entrance and exit
to the airport.
Another phase of the project
will construct an extension to
the existing Navy Way, including
construction of a bridge over the
Pennsylvania Turnpike that will
create better access to and from
the businesses in the Grimes In-
dustrial Park. The easement for
the 16.4 acres the FAA approved
this week for PennDOT, OBrien
said, will allow the airport to
market the land for develop-
ment.
OBrien added the airport will
be paid $121,000 by PennDOT
for the easement.
The money is nice, but at the
end of the day its the opportu-
nity that matters most, OBrien
said.
PennDOT is expected to open
and award bids April 25 and
work is expected to last through
2015. The estimated cost of the
project is at least $50 million.

Authorities pull back on estimates; mayor says total may exceed 30
WEST, Texas Rescuers searched the
smoking remnants of a Texas farm town
Thursday for survivors of a thunderous
fertilizer plant explosion, gingerly check-
ing smashed houses and apartments for
anyone still trapped in debris while the
community awaited word on the number
of dead.
Initial reports put the fatalities as high
as 15, but later in the day, authorities
backed away from any estimate and re-
fused to elaborate. More than 160 people
were hurt.
Some media outlets were reporting
Thursday night that West Mayor Tommy
Muska said that more than 30 people
were believed to be dead.
A breathtaking band of destruction
extended for blocks around the West
Fertilizer Co. in the small community of
West. The blast shook the ground with
the strength of a small earthquake and
crumpled dozens of homes, an apartment
complex, a school and a nursing home. Its
dull boom could be heard dozens of miles
away from the town about 20 miles north
of Waco.
Waco police Sgt. William Patrick Swan-
ton described ongoing search-and-rescue
efforts as tedious and time-consuming,

warrant from the U.S. Immigra-
tion and Customs Enforcement
Agency on Wednesday, they
said. Guillen was jailed at the

PLAINS TWP. Township

errez, no age or address given,
each with harassment after

11. The citations were fled with
District Judge Diana Malast.
KINGSTONAll has been qui-
et at a Rutter Avenue apartment
since last weeks arrest of two men
charged with selling crack cocaine
and marijuana from the residence,
neighbors said.
Neighbors who spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity said they have
complained about stop-and-go
traffc at the
apartment at
551 Rutter Ave.
since Febru-
ary. Five pages
of license plate
numbers were
given to au-
thorities in the
weeks leading
up to the April
11 raid by state
police at Wyo-
ming, state po-
lice Bureau of
Emergency and
Special Opera-
tions and Kings-
ton police.
Armed drug
troopers and detectives raided
the apartment and charged James
Rish Featherstone, 33, and Jeremy
Norber Valcarcel, 21, on drug of-
fenses. Police also found two in-
fants, a 15-year-old and four wom-
en inside.
The apartment was condemned
by the Kingston Code Enforce-
ment Offce the day of the raid.
Luzerne County property re-
cords list Wagiha Taylor of Kings-
ton as owner of the apartment.
Taylor did not return a message
for comment on Wednesday.
I was called over to the prop-
erty the day of the raid and saw
a real mess, said Kingston Code
Enforcement Offcer Joe Marut.
There was rubbish, garbage, dog
feces in the backyard, garbage on
the back porch, so I had to con-
demned the property.
Marut reinspected the property
on Saturday after Taylor had it
cleaned, he said.
There was no reason to keep
the property condemned and that
was the end of it, Marut said.
Featherstone and Valcarcel are
members of a street gang, state
police said. A law enforcement
source said Wednesday that the
two men are linked to the Sex,
Money, Murder sectof the Bloods
street gang, the same gang sect
that was targeted in October 2010
by the state Offce of Attorney
General for its alleged $15 million
heroin traffcking ring from New
Jersey to Wilkes-Barre.
Arrest papers state authori-
ties recovered a bullet-proof vest,
crack cocaine, a small amount of
marijuana, a razor blade, an ink
stamper commonly used to stamp
heroin packets and money. In an
adjoining room, the papers state,
were a box of .45-caliber ammu-
nition and documents that listed
Featherstone as being the renter of
the residence.
A loaded .45-caliber handgun
was found inside a windowseat on
the frst foor of the apartment, ac-
cording to arrest papers.
Featherstone is not permitted to
own or carry a gun due to a previ-
ous drug conviction, state police
said. Court records list Feather-
stones previous run-ins with the
law as follows:
Wilkes-Barre police charged
himon May 15, 2012 with possess-
ing a small amount of marijuana,
prescription tablets and ecstasy
at his then residence on Irving
Place. Under a negotiated deal,
he pleaded guilty to possession of
a small amount of marijuana and
was sentenced on Feb. 22 to time
served in jail. A charge of posses-
sion of a controlled substance was
withdrawn.
* Drug charges fled by state po-
lice against Featherstone remain
open in Luzerne County Court.
He allegedly sold crack cocaine
from an apartment on South River
Street, Wilkes-Barre, on Jan. 29,
2009, and Feb. 19, 2009. Feather-
stone is trying to have this case
dismissed based on the states
speedy trial rule.
* A county jury on March 28,
2012, acquitted Featherstone on
charges of illegal possession of a
frearm, receiving stolen property,
frearms not to be carried without
a license, terroristic threats, ha-
rassment and driving without a
license. Plains Township police al-
leged Featherstone threatened two
men with a gun at a motel on May
2, 2011.
Featherstone pleaded guilty at
the district court level on June 23,
2009 to possessing a small amount
of marijuana. Hanover Township
police said they found a marijuana
blunt inside his vehicle during a
traffc stop on the Sans Souci Park-
way on June 13, 2009.
He was sentenced on Jan. 10,
2002, to one to two years in jail on
a delivery of crack cocaine charge.
State police said Featherstone sold
the illegal drug inside a Wilkes-
Barre apartment in 2001.
Kingston has a landlord registra-
tion ordinance that compels land-
lords who live beyond 20 miles of
the municipality to have a proper-
ty manager for their rental proper-
ties, said Kingston Administrator
Paul Keating.
Tenants can be evicted if police
are called more than three times a
month or eight times a year, Keat-
ing said.
It has been effective since we
implemented the ordinance a few
years ago, he said. We probably
evicted a dozen or so nuisance ten-
ants within the community.
SWOYERSVILLE A man
who police say targeted spe-
cifc houses to plunder has
agreed to plead guilty to bur-
glary charges.
A negotiated plea deal was
reached at a preliminary hear-
ing Thursday between Daniel
Edward Eddy, 35, of Plym-
outh, and police in Forty Fort
and Swoyersville.
Eddy is expected to plead
guilty in Luzerne County
Court to three felony counts
of burglary and a third-degree
felony charge of criminal tres-
pass. Police withdrew charges
of theft, receiving stolen prop-
erty, resisting arrest and pos-
sessing instruments of crime.
Forty Fort police allege Eddy
on March 18 entered a house
on Rose Street and stayed in-
side for several minutes. He
drove away with a woman in a
blue van that returned to the
same house about 30 minutes
later, according to the criminal
complaint.
Eddy allegedly told a wit-
ness that he was buying the
house. The witness claimed
Eddy walked out the front
door with a vacuum box he
placed in the van and left.
Copper pipes were missing
from the basement of the Rose
Street house, police said.
Eddy allegedly forced his
way into a house on Murray
Street on March 27 and tried
to steal copper pipes in the
basement. He was encoun-
tered outside and struggled
with police when he was ar-
rested.
Both houses are for sale, he
said.
Eddy also allegedly targeted
a house under renovation on
Brown Street in Swoyersville
on March 27. Eddy believed
the house was vacant after
noticing construction permit
cards in a window, police said.
A family was living on the
second foor while the frst
foor was being renovated.
Eddy stole tools and other
items from the house, police
said.
Court records say Wilkes-
Barre police found Eddy in-
side a vacant house for sale on
Carey Avenue on Feb. 26.
Eddy remains free on
$20,000 bail.
DALLAS TWP. When new
legislation called for changes to
the Small Games of Chance Act,
phones lit up in issuing and en-
forcement offces fromthe coun-
ty courthouse to Harrisburg as
fundraiser organizers realized
their humble gambling events
might lead to civil penalties.
To explain current games-gov-
erning law, state Rep. Karen Bo-
back, R-Harveys Lake, hosted a
seminar Thursday at Misericor-
dia University that drew more
than 100 community organizers.
Boback said 12 pending bills, if
passed, will further defne how
organizations can use gambling
to raise money.
Everybody wants to do it
right, she said, but added that
strict limitations on gambling
for fundraisers make licensing
and fundraiser operations dif-
fcult.
Small games of chance licens-
es are issued from the county
treasurers offce.
Laura Beers, offce manager
in the Luzerne County Trea-
surers Offce, said about 400
small games of chance licenses
have been issued in the county.
The number probably is lower
now because Act 2 has muddied
regulations for some and they
have not applied out of confu-
sion, she said.
Beers said ambiguity in cur-
rent laws has her receiving
more calls than usual from
confused event organizers look-
ing for clarifcation.
Boback introduced last
nights audience to state Bureau
of Liquor Control Enforcement
Supervisor Todd Merlina, who
explained the details.
Throughout his presenta-
tion, Merlina lightheartedly
acknowledged that Pennsylva-
nians have been using illegal
gambling games as fundraisers
for decades casino night and
a night at the races-type events,
have always been prohibited
though they have been used
with enthusiasm.
Merlina explained some of
the biggest and recent changes
to small-games law.
Auxiliary groups, such
as a Sons of the VFW or a fre
departments ladies auxiliary,
cannot obtain their own small-
games license.
Club-license holders or
those that have a liquor license,
such as an American Legion or
Moose Lodge may keep up
to 30 percent of the proceeds
for business operating costs and
donate 70 percent to a public-
interest organization, while
limited-occasion license and
regular-license holders still have
to give 100 percent of proceeds
minus the cost to run the game.
Many organizations that use
gambling for fundraising func-
tion as public-interest groups
and beneft directly from the
games.
While records-keeping al-
ways has been required by law,
organizations will have to report
proceeds electronically or yield
their annual license renewal.
Organizers also must account
for all members, and the execu-
tive offcer and secretary must
undergo a criminal background
check.
Fundraisers get primer on small games of chance

Harveys Lake, organized
session to clarify new rules.

Crestwood board debates
status of girls basketball coach
WRIGHT TWP. The
Crestwood School Board on
Thursday discussed the pos-
sible dismissal of girls varsity
basketball coach Isiah Walker
at its regular meeting in front
of a packed house of con-
cerned residents.
The move was proposed
by board member Ken Mal-
kemes.
A number of parents and
students voiced their opposi-
tion to Walkers fring.
Superintendent Dave
McLaughlin-Smith said the is-
sue was a confdential person-
nel matter and could not, by
federal law, be discussed in a
public forum.
No decision on the matter
was reached and the board

Note sends students home
Students at Crestwood High School
were dismissed early Thursday due to
a threatening note found inside a boys
rest room.
Police Chief Royce Engler said the
school was evacuated at about 1 p.m.

Sexual assault alleged
Township police said they arrested
Lee Alex Snyder, 23, of Lee Park Av-
enue, on Tuesday on
charges he sexually
assaulted a 14-year-
old girl inside his resi-
dence.
Police said informa-
tion about the alleged
assault was developed
from Snyders place
of employment, Com-
munity Residential
Rehabilitation Center in Nanticoke,
where he planned and supervised chil-
drens activities. The center is operated
by Childrens Service Center of Wyo-
ming Valley.
Snyder took the girl to his residence
where he had sex with her twice, ac-
cording to the criminal complaint.
Investigators said they recovered an
iPad from the girls room in the group
home that contained text messages and
video chats, the complaint says. Snyder
remained jailed Thursday at the Lu-
zerne County Correctional Facility for
lack of $50,000 bail.
SCRANTON
MinSec inmate sentenced
An inmate at the MinSec Hazleton
Treatment Center who escaped and
robbed a bank was sentenced Wednes-
day in federal court. U.S. District Court
Judge Thomas M. Blewitt sentenced
Kevin Andre Parks Sr., 41, to ve years
in federal prison on a bank robbery
charge.
Hazleton police said Parks failed to
show up for a scheduled appointment
that got him released from the MinSec
site on Sept. 7. Parks instead robbed
the First National Community Bank on
West Broad Street, according to court
documents. Parks was captured when
he was found intoxicated near the Mall
at Steamtown in Scranton later on
Sept. 7.
HARRISBURG
Stevens may replace Melvin
State Superior Court President
Judge Correale Stevens, a Hazle Town-
ship native, is among ve judges the
Democratic Chair of the Senate Judi-
ciary Committee is recommending that
Gov. Tom Corbett consider to replace
former Supreme Court Justice Joan
Orie Melvin, who was convicted of
campaign corruption in February.
In an April 17 open letter to Corbett,
Sen. Daylin Leach wrote that appoint-
ment of a new justice would require
two-thirds of the Senate, or 34 votes, to
be conrmed. Given that the current
composition of the Senate is 27 Repub-
licans and 23 Democrats, it is clear that
only a bipartisan process will result in
the smooth and expeditious conrma-
tion of a new justice.
Leach said that given the political
climate in the state and the nation, it
would be easy for the process to quick-
ly deteriorate into partisan bickering
and stalemate. To ease the process,
Leach named ve Republicans whom
he believes Senate Democrats would
provide votes sufcient to join the Re-
publican majority and guarantee a con-
rmation.

WVW activities fund under scrutiny
KINGSTON The infor-
mation related to Wyoming
Valley West School District
that recently was turned over
to the IRS for possible inves-
tigation centered on student
activities funds at the middle
school, sources say.
The funds are tracked by
the business ofce through
a central checking account,
and a Times Leader review of
those records shows that the
son of a school board mem-
ber has received money from
those funds.
The board member, former
middle school teacher Tom
Pieczynski, insisted the deal
was legal and that he had
nothing to do with it, because
the money is raised and spent
by the student government
with no input or vote from the
School Board.
Middle School Principal
Deborah Troy conrmed the
students decide how to spend
the groups money, and solici-
tor Michael Hudacek agreed
with Pieczynskis contention
that the payments to his son
for landscaping services were
not a legal conict of interest.
The student activities fund
ledgers for both the high
school and the middle school
are public record and were
provided upon request. They
are included in annual, state-
mandated audits conducted
by an outside rm.
If the Internal Revenue Ser-
vice is investigating Super-
intendent Chuck Suppon has
stressed several times that
neither he nor administrators
he talked to have been con-
tacted by any federal agents
it is more likely interested
in what happens to student
activity cash before it reaches
the central ofce.
Suppon and Business Man-
ager Joe Rodriguez conceded
central ofce records track
student activities money only
after it receives records or rev-
enue.
The money from various
student groups is placed into
a single bank account and
checks are written as needed,
with the ofce tracking and
reconciling account activity,
Rodriguez said. But the dis-
trict relies on students and
staff who run fundraisers or
other events to accurately
track cash at those events,
and makes no attempt to en-
sure there is a full accounting
of money brought in.
The problemcanarise when
cash payments are made at an
event and are not run through
the central account.
For example, Suppon con-
rmed that Kingston po-
lice work as guards at some
events, including middle
school dances.
But the records reviewed by
The Times Leader show no
payments to police, suggest-
ing the payments are made
in cash at the event. Suppon
said he does not know if that
is true because he was not at
the events.

Similar crimes occurred in
prior years at St. Marys
Cemetery in Hanover Twp.
HANOVER TWP. Police
Chief Al Walker said Thursday
there has been no connection
made between the most recent
purse theft targeting people vis-
iting the St. Marys Cemetery
and a previous theft there in De-
cember.
A purse reportedly was taken
from a vehicle after a window
was smashed on April 7, but
Walker said there has been no
activity on the victims credit
cards. The theft occurred when
a woman from Wilkes-Barre
parked her car and went for a
walk in the cemetery, police
said.
We advised the victim to
cancel the credit cards, Walker
said. As far as we know, there
has been no attempt to use the
cards. By now you would think
the cards would have been
used.
The theft might have been a
crime of opportunity by some-
one passing the car and seeing
the purse inside, he said.
In another case, court records
state Edward Robinson, 50, of
Barney Street, Wilkes-Barre, is
facing charges of theft and ac-
cess device fraud in Luzerne
County Court in connection
with the theft of a purse from a
2012 Mitsubishi while a woman
was visiting her mothers gra-
veon Dec. 23.
Police allege Robinson used
the womans credit cards at vari-
ous places the same day until the
card was denied at Walgreens
Pharmacy in Kingston, accord-
ing to the criminal complaint.
Robinson is also facing charg-
es of theft, receiving stolen prop-
erty and access device fraud in
county court for allegedly steal-
ing a womans car from a child
care center on South Main
Street, Hanover Township, and
attempting to use the womans
credit card at a pharmacy in the
township on Feb. 5.
Court records indicate Robin-
son has stolen purses from cars

child care centers:

Community aid builds Hanover Twp. eld of dreams
HANOVER TWP. Jim
Kelsall never had a doubt the
Hanover community would get
behind the home team.
Kelsall, the 42-year-old presi-
dent of the ASNWR Little
League, said a project to place
lights at the baseball eld along
Front Street is the result of a
tight-knit community support-
ing its young athletes.
The idea to improve the eld
began eight months ago and
culminated Thursday night
with the rst pitch ever thrown
under the lights just after
7 p.m., once 12-year-old Maia
Bagusky nished singing the
national anthem. The event had
been postponed from April 12
due to inclement weather.
There are a lot of elds
around here that have lights,
and we dont. Well, why dont
we? Kelsall, of Askam, recalled
asking himself. We decided to
go on an all-out community out-
reach effort and make it happen.
Lo and behold, here we are.
The progress, highlighted
with a pre-game ceremony
thanking donors and volun-
teers, includes 22 lights that
nally were hung Tuesday and
Wednesday, 72 seats recovered
from PNC Field during its reno-
vation in 2012 and a throwback
to a bygone era in Warrior Run
which, along with Askam and
Sugar Notch, makes up part of
the ASNWR league.
In conjunction with the
leagues 65th anniversary, the
new white, orange and black
jerseys of the ASNWR Indians
serve as a throwbackto the
long-closed Warrior Run High
School. Oak Grove Club of Wil-
kes-Barre donated $500 as a hat
sponsor for the teams new lids;
it was one of many in businesses
in the community that stepped
up to the plate.
The road to Thursdays open-
ing could have cost the league
more than $30,000, said Kelsall
and Hanover Area Little League
President Rob Demko, 41, of
Warrior Run. Through $275 do-
nations, however, residents and
business owners purchased the
individual lights and wiring to
drop the overall cost to less than
$7,000, Demko said.
Ninety-eight percent of it
is family- or individual-owned
small businesses, Kelsall said.
In addition, the ASNWR
league has beneted fromcount-
less volunteer hours donated by
league parents and community
members who didnt have any
players taking the eld this year.
Some stayed until 10 p.m. daily.
J.J. Willis, Bob Bombay and
Gene Kobal worked to rebuild
bleachers using the reclaimed
seats from PNC Field; Frank
Palermo, Larry Carbohn, and
Tom Mercadante refurbished
the concession stand; and Bob
Sabecky completed a large por-
tion of the painting that needed
to be done, Kelsall said.
International Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers Local 163
Business Manager Mike Kwash-
nik said IBEW1319 donated the
light poles that were erected
April 9 and helped to set up the
lights with the work of four vol-
unteer crew members, includ-
ing foreman Mick Yech.
The buzz thats been created
by this its hard to describe.
Its like an event, Demko said,
scrolling through numerous
text messages on his phone ask-
ing about progress at the eld.
Lighting the eld for evening
games opens the opportunity for
the league to host larger tourna-
ments and district games, Kel-
sall said.
In the end, he knew why par-
ents and business owners gave
so much of themselves to see
the project through to the end.
This is their league and their
kids league, Kelsall said of the
parents whove pitched in.
From the beginning, its al-
ways been for the kids, Demko
added. Every kid, not just his
or ours.

The ASNWR Little League started the season under the lights that have been donated by the
community and time donated from IBEW.
BackersrallyforPlainsLittleLeague
PLAINS TWP. Opening
day for Plains Little League
baseball is Saturday, and a new
concession stand is ready to ac-
commodate fans, thanks to the
generosity of area businesses
and community support.
The former concessionstand/
press box was torched during a
June 9 burglary that authorities
allege was committed by Brian
Gashi, who faces arson charges.
This is where the re was
started, league president Carl
Yastremski said as he showed
visitors around the second-oor
press box of the remodeled facil-
ity on Thursday. It sustained
the most damage.
Yastremski had been league
president seven years, but he
still didnt know what to expect
when it came to getting enough-
volunteers to rebuild the con-
cession stand, which serves as
an important source of funds for
the league.
But in the rst week after the
re, Mericle Construction gave
Yastremski a look at the support
that was to come over the next
10 months. The company do-
nated materials and manpower
to reconstruct the press box and
add new lockers.
Downstairs, Yastremski
pointed out new cabinets and
counter tops donated by Lowes
Home Improvement Center.
Volunteers installed all the new
xtures and appliances. The
amount of volunteers we got is
unbelievable. It really brought
the league together, he said.
A new oven-like greaseless
fryer replaces the fryers that
building codes no longer allow
without expensive re-extin-
guishing systems. All the appli-
ances are new as well.
Insurance covered many of
the items lost inside the conces-
sion stand, but small individual
donations from the community
and fundraisers, such as a feel-
good night with the Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre Yankees at the
eld that raised about $4,000,
allowed the league to really up-
grade its facilities.
A new asphalt walk was
laid from a parking area to the
bleachers to make it easier for
people withdisabilities toattend
games. New dual batting cages
were installed so two teams can
practice off-eld while others
are playing on-eld. A new light
pole thats up to Little League
code replaces two decades-old
wooden light poles.
And the outeld fence has
been outtted with a wall pad
to absorb some of the impact
should a player run into it trying
to make a game-saving catch.
Not counting donated materi-
als and labor, donations alone
totaled about $30,000 Yastrem-
ski said.
And players as well as fans
love the new facilities.
I really like it, said 9-year-
old player Mason Baranski.
Theres no trash and its really
clean.
Yastremski said he hopes the
community will turn out for
the parade and opening day
ceremonies on Saturday to help
celebrate. We want to show the
people: This is what you did.
This is from your community.
And it will be here for years to
come.

WASHINGTON One day
after the demise of gun control
legislation, Senate supporters
of the measure vowed to try
again, while a leading oppo-
nent accused President Barack
Obama of taking the low
road when he harshly criti-
cized lawmakers who voted
against key provisions.
When good and honest
people have honest differ-
ences of opinion about what
policies the country should
pursue about gun rights the
president of the United States
should not accuse them of hav-
ing no coherent arguments or
of caving to the pressure, said
Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas.
The fate of the bill was
sealed in a string of votes on
Wednesday, when Republicans
backed by a small group of
rural-state Democrats rejected
more extensive background
checks for gun purchasers and
also torpedoed proposed bans
on assault weapons and high-
capacity ammunition maga-
zines.
The Senate delivered its ver-
dict four months after a shoot-
ing at an elementary school
in Newtown, Conn., left 20
rst graders and six educators
dead. The tragedy prompted
Obama to champion an issue
that Democrats had largely
avoided for two decades, and
that he himself ignored dur-
ing his rst term in the White
House.
Though the gun control
bill was moribund for the
foreseeable future, the Senate
approved two minor amend-
ments on Thursday.
One by Sen. John Barrasso,
R-Wyo., cutting aid to state
and local governments that re-
lease information on gun own-
ers, was approved 67-30.
Another by Sens. Tom Har-
kin, D-Iowa, and Lamar Alex-
ander, R-Tenn., bolstering fed-
eral mental health programs
passed 95-2.
This is not the end of the
ght. Republicans are in an un-
sustainable position, Senate
Majority Leader Harry Reid,
D-Nev., said, after the vote
against a tougher requirement
for background checks for gun
purchasers, a proposal that
shows very high support in
most public opinion polls.

Clinic testimony graphic
A former abortion clinic worker

witness in the capital murder case
against Dr. Kermit Gosnell. He is
charged in the deaths of a patient and

Opponents of a massive Canada-

Barack Obama ultimately approve it.
Despite a spring storm that brought
sleet and snow to Nebraska, the U.S.
State Department hearing in Grand
Island drew more than 1,000 people
from the around state, as well as
activists from outside the region who
consider Nebraska a key battleground
over the Keystone XL pipeline.
As they waited in line for an op-
portunity to speak, many activists out-
lined plans for civil disobedience and
state-court lawsuits designed to keep
the project from moving forward.

Support shown
for proposed
immigration law
WASHINGTON Four
Democratic and four Republi-
can senators formally unveiled
a sweeping immigration bill
Thursday at a news conference
attended by traditional oppo-
nents from big business and la-
bor, and conservative and liberal
groups. The lawmakers argued
that this time, thanks to that
broad-based support, immigra-
tion legislation can succeed in
Congress.
Powerful outside forces have
helped defeat certain other
initiatives in Washington, but
on immigration, the opposite
is proving true, Sen. Chuck
Schumer, D-N.Y., said a day after
senators under intense lobbying
pressure blocked a major gun
control package. I am condent
this issue will not fall victim to
the usual partisan deadlock.
Support for the bill is already
being put to the test as con-
servatives grow more vocal in
opposition. Two Republican
senators held a dueling news
conference, with law enforce-
ment ofcials bashing the bills
border security provisions and
other measures, and several
conservative bloggers seized on
one provision of the legislation
to falsely claim that it would al-
low people here illegally to get
free cellphones.
The 844-page bill is designed
to secure the border, allow tens
of thousands of new high- and
low-skilled workers into the
country while requiring employ-
ers to verify their legal status,
and put 11 million people here
illegally on a path to citizenship,
as long as certain border secu-
rity goals are met rst.
The bill will get its rst hear-
ing today before the Senate Ju-
diciary Committee.

OXFORD, Miss. A

with mailing letters with
suspected ricin to national

covered a conspiracy to sell
human body parts on the
black market, and on Thurs-
day his attorney said he was
surprised by his arrest and
maintains he is innocent.
Paul Kevin Curtis, 45,
wore shackles and a Johnny
Cash T-shirt Thursday in
a federal courtroom. His
handcuffs were taken off
for the brief hearing, and

charges on accusations
of threatening President

convicted, he could face up
to 15 years
in prison.
He did

c h a r g e s .

Coy said Curtis maintains
100 percent that he did not

Curtis, who was arrested
Wednesday at his home in
Corinth, near the Tennessee
state line, was being held in

Oxford, Miss.
An FBI afdavit says Cur-
tis sent three letters with

a Mississippi judge. The let-
ters read: No one wanted to
listen to me before. There
are still Missing Pieces.
Maybe I have your atten-

Hazleton running short to defend immigrant law
HAZLETON The city has burned
through nearly $500,000 in private do-
nations and might have to use taxpayer
funds as it continues to defend its land-
mark but never enforced crackdown on
immigrants in the U.S. illegally.
Hazleton collected money from thou-
sands of individual donors around the
country as it tried to fend off a legal chal-
lenge brought by opponents of the Illegal
Immigration Relief Act of 2006. But con-
tributions made through the citys Small
Town Defenders website have long since
dried up, and the legal defense fund is
down to its last couple hundred dollars,
Mayor Joseph Yannuzzi said Thursday.
The last donation, in the amount of
$100, arrived in July, he said.
Hazleton still owes about $20,000 to
its lawyer. Without a fresh infusion of do-
nor cash, taxpayers in the economically
struggling city will wind up footing the
legal bill.
Its going to have to come out of the
general fund. That is something we just
dont want to do, Yannuzzi said. But if
we have to, we have to. We do have this
obligation to pay it and we have an obli-
gation to follow through.
The law, which would deny permits
to businesses that hire people in the
country illegally and ne landlords who
rent to them, has been tied up in federal
courts for seven years.
Former Mayor Lou Barletta advocated
for the crackdown after two such immi-
grants were charged in a fatal shooting.
Barletta, who rose to national promi-
nence as a result of his stand and is now
a congressman, argued that illegal immi-
gration brought drugs, crime and gangs
to the city and overwhelmed police,
schools and hospitals.
Hazletons ordinance, and a compan-
ion measure that would require prospec-
tive tenants to register with City Hall
and pay for a rental permit, spurred simi-
lar laws around the country.
Opponents of the local laws say they
usurp the federal governments exclusive
power to regulate immigration.
City might have to dip into general
fund to pay legal bills, mayor says.

Dr. Joseph Volodymyr Krawczeniuk
April 17, 2013
D
r. Joseph Volodymyr Kraw-
czeniuk, who walked out of
his native Ukraine with his older
brother to escape communism as a
teenager, sought a better life in the
United States and found it as a col-
lege professor and father in Wilkes-
Barre, died Wednesday morning of a
heart attack at Wilkes-Barre General
Hospital at 88 years of age. His wife,
Oksana Kolodij Krawczeniuk, died
Dec. 2, 2007.
Born Oct. 7, 1924 in Ternopol,
Ukraine, Dr. Krawczeniuk was the
fth and youngest child of the late
Volodymyr and Pelahia Krawcze-
niuk, whose rst three children died
before he was born. He grew up a
sickly child who, he said, was not
expected to live long himself.
Dr. Krawczeniuk grew up under
Communist rule, watched a cousin
disappear at the hands of the Com-
munists, then lived under the Nazis
who took over his hometown tem-
porarily during World War II. As the
Communists pushed the Nazis out
of Eastern Europe, Dr. Krawczeniuk
and his brother, Stephan, ed. Part
of a patriotic Ukrainian family that
despised communism, the brothers
feared its return.
With artillery exploding to the
north, they plopped the belong-
ings they could quickly gather on a
horse-drawn cart and set off for any-
where but home. Only years later
did they learn that a week after leav-
ing, their father was murdered, pre-
sumably by a Communist soldier.
Over the next few months, they
trudged west along muddy roads
through Ukraine, Poland and Slo-
vakia, eventually hopping a freight
train with other refugees into Aus-
tria. Along the way, they relied on
the kindness of strangers. They ate
whatever their hosts could scrounge
up, but sometimes stole apples from
private orchards and, once, a pile of
food ration cards, to survive.
They made their way to Ger-
many, where they lived for seven
years as refugees. During that time,
Dr. Krawczeniuk earned a Ph.D. in
German studies from the University
of Munich and a spot on an all-star
Ukrainian soccer team made up of
other refugees. Soccer was a life-
long love, a game his own father
thought was best suited for hooli-
gans, but one he frequently called a
beautiful game.
His love of soccer never waned,
though the United States had at best
an ambivalent relationship with the
worlds game for decades after he
arrived. In a May 1973 letter pub-
lished in Sports Illustrated, he cor-
rectly foresaw that soccers popu-
larity here would grow once youth
leagues developed. He delighted in
the United States success in recent
World Cup tournaments and cried
when he watched, in person, the
2010 team score a goal during an
exhibition match against Turkey in
Philadelphia, for this country had
become his home.
With a choice of many places
where he could have resettled, Dr.
Krawczeniuk chose the United
States for all the reasons, he be-
lieved, many Americans take for
granted. Like millions of immi-
grants before him, he arrived by
boat in 1951.
He settled in New York City,
worked in factories and earned a
masters degree in library science
from Columbia University. Dr.
Krawczeniuk married his wife on
Feb. 16, 1957. They lived in Jersey
City, N.J., until 1962. At his wifes
urging, they left their closest child-
hood friends and family behind for
a new adventure in Wilkes-Barre
where Dr. Krawczeniuk took a job
as a professor teaching German at
Kings College. Though Harvard
University offered him a job shortly
after that, he had already committed
to Kings and felt obligated to follow
through. He would remain at Kings
until his retirement in Jan. 2008, a
month after his wifes death. He was
a huge fan of the schools basketball
teams, regularly taking his sons to
Monarchs home games.
Through his life and travels, Dr.
Krawczeniuk learned to uently
speak six languages Ukrainian,
Russian, Polish, German, English
and Latin and at least understand
bits of several others. At home, he
demanded his sons speak only his
native tongue. He wrote extensively
for Ukrainian academic journals and
newspapers a true point of pride
and authored a history of Ss. Cyril
and Methodius Ukrainian Catholic
Church in Olyphant. Overwhelm-
ingly, his students loved him, for
years giving him glowing evalua-
tions which he often privately boast-
ed about.
He was probably the smartest
and nicest guy Ive ever met in my
life. I had one class with him, he
gave us an assignment and then sat
there with three different newspa-
pers in three different languages,
a former student said in a Facebook
post upon hearing of his death.
Part of the lives of Dr. Krawcze-
niuk and his wife were chronicled in
the WVIA television documentary
The Extraordinary Journey, the
story of the traditions followed by
Eastern European immigrants and
their descendants.
In short, Dr. Krawczeniuk was an
amazing man highly intelligent,
articulate, talkative, funny, loving,
passionate about teaching, incred-
ibly self-disciplined, unbelievably
resilient, sometimes very stubborn
and always ercely independent. He
was also deeply religious, nding
comfort in his Ukrainian Catholic
faith and its customs. He possessed
a strong singing voice and for many
years sang a solo hymn at Easter
morning Masses at Transguration
of Our Lord Church in Nanticoke,
where he was a member.
To his family, he was a model of
excellence and persistence in the
face of difcult odds. Always a lov-
ing father, he demonstrated the abil-
ity of humans to evolve and change
their thinking in his nal years. He
learned to express his love for his
family in a way that he could not
earlier in life. A rock-ribbed Repub-
lican who never before voted for a
Democrat for president, he voted
for Barack Obama twice mainly
because he thought the president
had a better understanding of the
world.
The siblings who preceded him in
death were sisters, Orysia, who died
at age 3 in 1909, and Soa, who died
at age 11 in 1920; and a brother,
Yaroslav, who died at age 7 in 1919.
He was also preceded in death by
another son, Andrij Danylo, who
died at 2 days old on Nov. 20, 1964.
Dr. Krawczeniuk is survived by
his brother, Stephan, and his wife,
Daria, Jersey City; four sons, Borys
and his wife, Karen Jeremy, Scran-
ton, Vsevolod and his wife, Lynn
DeYoung, Burbank, Calif., Bohdan
and his wife, Stacey, Wilkes-Barre,
and Andrij, Rochester; six grand-
children, Mark, Ryan, Vsevolod,
Nicholas, Kuyper and Emma Kraw-
czeniuk; and nieces and many cous-
ins.

Dec. 19, 2003: Robinson
stole a purse from a vehicle at
a child care center on Third Av-
enue, Kingston, while a woman
took her child into the facility.
Robinson was sentenced in Au-
gust 2004 to three to six years in
state prison, court records state.
million. But the money can still
add up. According to monthly
spreadsheets provided by the
district, the combined student
activities fund checking account
had total deposits of nearly
$90,000 and expenditures of
nearly $67,000 in 2011-12.
The records show Tom Piec-
zynski Jr. received two checks
in 2011-12 totaling $1,107. His
father said he and his son run a
landscaping business, but that
his son has his own client list
and was hired to work on the
school grounds by the student
government, usually twice a
year, for several years. I dont
see any of that money, Pieczyn-
ski Sr. said.
News of IRS interest in the
district came from Larksville
Police Chief John Edwards on
Wednesday.
Police had cited then-district
custodian Robert Lushefski
for two incidents of dumping
personal trash into a district
Dumpster at the State Street
Elementary School in February.
Lushefski pleaded guilty this
month and the School Board
red him at the April 10 meet-
ing, but Board President Gor-
don Dussinger said there was
more involved than the Dump-
ster charges in the decision to
terminate Lushefski.
The Times Leader sought ad-
ditional records from the Larks-
ville police, and Chief Edwards
responded with a written state-
ment saying no records could be
provided because they had been
turned over to the IRS Criminal
Investigation Division for fur-
ther investigation.
Suppon pointed out that even
if records were given to the IRS,
it would not necessarily mean
an investigation was launched.
The IRS would neither conrm
or deny an investigation.
and the newest spa by owners
Angie and Larry Morgan. Their
4,150-square-foot Spa Sapphire
will be located on the rst oor.
Being entrepreneurs, we de-
nitely saw an opportunity and
we wanted to expand on that
opportunity, Angie Morgan
said.
Mohegan ofcials ap-
proached the Morgans about
six or seven months ago about
opening a spa in the new build-
ing, added Larry Morgan.
The Morgans own and oper-
ate The Sapphire Salon & Spas
in Pittston and at the Shoppes
at Montage in Moosic.
The owners were later noti-
ed they were chosen. They
plan to hire between 20 and
30 people for the spa that will
offer facials, massages, couple
suites and state-of-the-art salon
services.
The Morgans were thrilled to
be involved in what Bean called
a tremendous addition to the
Mohegan property. The hotel
will have 238 rooms, a bistro,
an indoor pool and tness cen-
ter and the 20,000-square-foot
convention center able to seat
850 people for dinners and
other oor events. It also will
be able to hold entertainment
events for 1,500 people.
The decor will be reective
of the interior of the casino,
Bean said.
Members of the Mohegan
Tribal Gaming Authority that
owns the Luzerne County
property and others through-
out the country attended the
ceremony. Mohegan Tribal
Council Chairman Bruce Two
Dogs Bozsumwelcomed them
and said he was amazed at how
much was accomplished since
the groundbreaking last sum-
mer.
Bozsum thanked the workers
for a job well done and said Mo-
hegan Sun will continue to play
an important role in the region
and maintain the more than
four-century tradition of being
a good neighbor.
Work with our neighbors.
Give back what we can, Boz-
sum said were words the tribe
lives by dating back to its chief
Uncas.
The tribe always tries to
give back to every charitable
donation, every community
service that we can contrib-
ute to, and thats what makes
us the proudest and distin-
guishes them from others in
the gambling industry, Bozsum
said.
Members of the Greater
Pennsylvania Regional Council
of Carpenters took issue with
his comments on being com-
munity-minded.
Near the casinos Fox Hill
Road entrance, two men in
hardhats handed out iers that
read SHAME ON Mohegan

ecration of the American Way

ed on Carey Avenue and another
will start soon on Green Street
in Edwardsville.
Kaufer said Williams will
have a 20-year mortgage at zero-
percent interest. She said every
family selected for a Habitat
home must invest 300 hours of
sweat equity into the project.
Williams said she did at least
300 hours and still worked her
40-hour work week at Little
Flower.
We try to give people a hand
up, not a hand out, Kaufer said.
We try to improve the commu-
nity one house at a time. This
program offers people the oppor-
tunity to grow in a stable home.
We nd that kids do better in
school. This is not a free house.
Kaufer said about 500 volun-
teers worked on the house on
Saturdays. She said Williams not
only gets a new home, but the
volunteers also learn new skills
that help in future projects.
Williams said she enjoyed
working alongside the volun-
teers, especially since they were
working on her home.
We were there every Satur-
day for a year, she said. It was
amazing to see howmany people
wanted to help.
Kaufer said Habitat families
are selected based on the level
of need, willingness to become
partners in the Habitat program
and the ability to re-pay the
mortgage.
By keeping labor costs down,
Habitat is able to keep the sell-
ing price down, Kaufer said.
Our mission is to build simple,
decent homes to sell to families
in need.
Kaufer said the organization
presented its Golden Hammer
Award to Wells Fargo Bank for its
support of the program through
both nancial donations and
volunteer hours. Habitat gets
its funding through fundraising
events, grant writing, proceeds
from its ReStore in Nanticoke,
and mortgage payments from
clients, she said.
Kaufer said applicants must
be living in substandard housing
meaning conditions are un-
safe, unsanitary or overcrowded.
Owning a home creates a
sense of pride and for many
families, its a dream come true,
Kaufer said.
Williams agrees, saying she
was going to start moving in
Thursday afternoon.
I hope we can all be living
there by Sunday night, she said.

How to help
Continued from Page 3A
WVW
Part of the project calls for the
construction of a .85-mile ac-
cess road from the existing
airport entrance off I-81, over
the Turnpike and connecting
to Commerce Boulevard in
the Grimes Industrial Park so
trucks can have better access to
the interstate and alleviate con-
gestion on Dupont streets. The
exits did not need airport ap-
proval, but the connector road
work does.
For motorists using the new
I-81 southbound exit ramp
heading to the airport or the
industrial park, theyll have
to drive through three round-
abouts.
For those heading to the air-
port using the northbound in-
terstate exit, theyll have to go
through one circle.
For those leaving the airport
or industrial park and heading
to 81 northbound, theyll have
to traverse one trafc round-
about. If their goal is to get on
81 southbound, theyll have
to circle around three round-
abouts.
Roundabout concerns
Airport Executive Director
Barry J. Centini said there is a
concern over howconfusing the
roundabouts might be for driv-
ers and what happens if a vehi-
cle overturns in the roundabout
closest to the airport terminal
and blocks access. But he said
PennDOT has deemed the con-
cerns have been addressed.
PennDOT spokesman James
May said the roundabouts have
been designed with the largest
18-wheelers in mind.
OBrien said that while the
roundabout portion of the proj-
ect is not something he is a big
fan of, hes looking at the posi-
tives of the project and sees the
trade-off as a win for the airport
and Dupont Borough.
There has been interest previ-
ously from companies looking
to locate in the unused western
portion of airport grounds, but
without an access road or ready
sites, the companies went else-
where. OBrien referenced a
Honda proposal a few years ago
that sought land close to the air-
port for a manufacturing facility
but we did not get it because
we didnt have a ready site.
Once the road is built and ac-
cess to the industrial park from
I-81 is made easier, OBrien said
that stretch of land could be
very attractive to job-creating
businesses.
This puts us is a much more
competitive place, OBrien
said. And it provides us access
to the western part of the prop-
erty.
Centini noted that that land
value will increase greatly once
the road is in place.

Tragically, it may take more mass killings.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn.
after the Senate rejected expanded background checks for gun purchases
and other restrictions
EDITORIAL
Wheres media scrutiny
on abortion industry?
U
.S. Rep. Chris Smith of New Jersey
recently told House colleagues that if
abortion butcher Dr. Kermit Gosnell (on
trial for murdering newborns) walked
into a nursery and shot seven infants us-
ing an AR-15, it would be national news
and the subject of presidential hand-
wringing.
Instead, Gosnell snipped the spinal
cords of seven fully delivered babies at his
Philadelphia abortion clinic and there is
media silence.
The Gosnell trial should be making
headlines because it is a tragedy every
bit as horrible as the Newtown massacre.
The story, though, is eclipsed by the de-
bate over expanding background checks
at gun shows, which will do nothing to
stop school shootings.
Smiths point hits the mark. Whats the
difference between killing a child with
a scissors or a gun? The outcome is the
same so why isnt the media coverage?
Smith rightly denounces the decades-
long cover up by the liberal media of the
brutality and violence of the abortion in-
dustry. Gosnell trial testimony is horric,
including infant be-headings, severed
baby feet in jars, babies screaming after
being delivered alive, unsanitary condi-
tions and bloodstained equipment. It was
truly a house or horrors.
As the trial unfolds, there is more
shocking media silence regarding similar
unsanitary and dangerous conditions at a
Planned Parenthood clinic in Wilmington.
One nurse at the clinic called it meat
market style of assembly-line abortions
that left blood draining on operating
tables as patients were rushed in and out
of the clinic.
Since January 4 ve patients at the
clinic have been rushed to emergency
rooms following botched abortions. That
clinic is now temporarily closed, pending
investigation.
The mainstream media blackout of
these stories is shameful.

Bias against fossil fuel
evident in newspaper
I
n just a few short days, The Times
Leader has managed to show its bias for
nonviable energy sources (wind, solar,
etc.), while disregarding the viable energy
sources (oil, coal, natural gas).
Sunday, April 7, on the front page:
Northeast drilling threatens forests,
wildlife; Monday, April 8, editorial page:
Increased drilling has little effect on
prices at the pump; Wednesday, April
10, editorial page: States frackers get
another break.
This op-ed in The Times Leader from
the York Daily Record was not meant
to educate, but to imply and further the
propaganda of the environmental wackos
that frackers are getting all the tax breaks
and that wind and solar power get no tax
dollars and need more. To the contrary,
wind and solar get a large portion of their
budget from tax dollars.
On the Thursday, April 11 editorial
page: Renewable sources gaining power.
This headline is misleading because there
has been an increase in our tax dollars
given to alternative energy companies
under this administration, so naturally
an increase in our hard earned money
wasted on these companies will result in
data that is skewed toward making these
companies look better.
Without the increase in tax dollars, or
any tax dollars for that matter, alterna-
tive energy companies would not survive.
Let wind and solar companies compete
on the free market without government
subsidies and there would be no wind and
solar companies left.
Giving tax dollars to these alternative
energy companies is akin to ushing
those dollars down the commode. Need
examples? Solyndra has led bankruptcy
and it cost us taxpayers at least 600 mil-
lion dollars.
Fisker Automotive, the all-electric car
company, cost taxpayers at least 200 mil-
lion dollars as they just laid off 75 percent
of their workforce and are in the process
of ling for bankruptcy. These companies
are just two of the dozens of examples of
alternative energy related companies that
have failed and in effect wasted our tax
dollars.
If more tax dollars or more tax breaks
should go anywhere, it is to companies
that are bringing viable sources of energy
to the market-oil, coal, natural gas compa-
nies. It is these companies that produce
proven, sustainable and relatively inex-
pensive efcient sources of energy.
To address the op ed about increased
drilling for oil (April 8) of course if we
drill more, we have more opportunity to
nd and extract oil.
Supply and demand dictates if there
is more oil on the market, in a true free
market, the cost of a barrel of oil will
decrease.
This Obama administration, however,
has never been a fan of oil, period. The
price of a gallon of gasoline has more
than doubled since Obama took ofce.
Remember, Obama was only angry at
how fast the price of gas rose during an
interview with a reporter, not the fact
that it rose. He would rather it move to
ve dollars a gallon more slowly.
Finally, to all of you naysayers who
bash coal, oil and natural gas. Those of
you who plug in your electric go kart;
the electricity used to recharge your car
is most likely generated by coal power.
Natural gas prices have never been lower
due to supply thanks to fracking
and it the most efcient and inexpensive
way to heat a home right after, you
guessed it coal.
As far as oil is concerned, can any of
the enviro wackos out there research and
write in to this paper and tell me how
many passenger aircraft can generate
enough thrust to y without the use oil?
Let me save you the trouble none!
Oil, coal, and natural gas are the most
reliable energy sources of the past, pres-
ent, and future.

Nothing reserved in
about county guard
T
he other day I went to the Luzerne
County Courthouse to help a friend
research some information. Upon pulling
into the back parking lot, and seeing that
all the handicap spaces were occupied, I
parked on the lot near the guard shack,
seeing absolutely no reserved signs on
the strip of spots to the right/forward of
the guard shack, nor are there any lines
painted on the ground or anything that
says reserved.
Before I even got out of my car, an
older, and grumpy, guard came out railing
to me that those spots are reserved.
I told him I was sorry and was unaware
because there were no signs stating that
where I parked were reserved and that I
would move my car.
He also came physically a little too
close to me for my comfort, I felt rather
uncomfortable and somewhat intimidated
by his posturing so close to me.
Still, he rambled and railed at me that
the spots were reserved and didnt I see
the sign posted at the beginning of the
drive-way entrance way? No, I did not, I
responded.
He was not nice about the situation at
all.
He even stated that they would have
any car not supposed to be there towed,
which gives me pause about all the LAG
Towing investigations going on in the
city. Towed for parking in a spot not
clearly marked reserved?
Perhaps the courthouse should eke out
some tax dollars for some reserved park-
ing signs in the back of the court house,
so the next hapless and unknowing citi-
zen who mistakenly parks in the guards
reserved zone will not have to hear the
guard rambling on and on and get threat-
ened to have your vehicle towed.
I read in the paper where the county
was trying to improve its image what
with the Kids For Cash scandal and all.
Well, they should start by also telling
the court house parking lot guards to act
in a more civil manner to the taxpaying
courthouse visitors. I did not deserve his
verbal abuse!

OTHER OPINION: GUN SAFETY
Senate thwarts
will of the public
T
He U.S. Senates han-
dling of a gun safety
package was cowardly
and contemptible.
With a series of procedural
votes, most Republican sena-
tors and a handful of Democrats
opted Wednesday afternoon to
not even debate modest gun
safety measures. They included
a bipartisan bill to close the
loophole that allows people to
purchase weapons at gun shows
without a background check.
Proposals to limit the size of
gun magazines and to ban some
of the most deadly assault weap-
ons were also struck down with-
out debate.
All in all, this was a pretty
shameful day in Washington,
President Barack Obama said in
a news conference.
A very shameful day. What
kind of a governing body re-
sponds to a national crisis by re-
fusing to even discuss it openly
and publicly?
On the background check
measure, 54 senators voted
to advance the bill, 46 voted
against.
The gun lobby and its allies
willfully lied about the bill, said
Obama, standing beside former
congresswoman Gabrielle Gif-
fords and in the presence of
families of gun victims.
That is true. The back-
ground check bill was not an
infringement on anyones Sec-
ond Amendment rights. It was
a compromise attempt to do
something to keep deadly weap-
ons out of the hands of danger-
ous people.
This effort is not over,
Obama said.
It is not. The rst step must be
reminding obstructionist sena-
tors at every chance that almost
nine of 10 Americans support
universal background checks.
Hold these politicians account-
able for failing that majority,
including families who have al-
ready paid the highest price for
Americas gun problem.

Dont allow blasts

C
OMMeNTING ON
the horric explosions
in Boston, President
Obama insisted Tues-
day that the American people
refuse to be terrorized. Brave
words, but also accurate ones.
In the years since 9/11,
residents of this country have
acquiesced in an array of incon-
veniences and encumbrances,
hoping they are contributing to
their own protection but often
suspecting that this or that pre-
caution is either arbitrary or use-
less. But even as they alternate
between stoicism and resent-
ment, Americans have contin-
ued to travel, socialize and take
part in communal celebrations
such as the Boston Marathon.
That wont change after Mon-
days attacks. Initially, citizens
will be more circumspect, just
as law enforcement will ramp up
surveillance. In time, however,
behavior will revert to normal
or at least the new normal of
metal detectors, airport search-
es, the deployment of explosive-
snifng dogs at large gatherings
and the placement of ugly ob-
structions in front of picturesque
public buildings.
None of this is to minimize the
horror of what happened in Bos-
ton on Monday. Three people
died, including 8-year-old Mar-
tin Richard, whose father was
competing in the marathon, and
176 people were injured, some
seriously. The bombs packed
with shrapnel, including pellets
and nail-like objects designed
to maim their victims pro-
faned Patriots Day, a state holi-
day commemorating the Ameri-
can Revolution, and terrorized
an event that is as much a civic
celebration as an athletic event.
In that sense, they were remi-
niscent of the bomb planted at
the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta
by eric Rudolph, who said he
wanted to confound, anger and
embarrass the Washington gov-
ernment in the eyes of the world
for its abominable sanctioning of
abortion on demand.
It is still unknown whether
the perpetrator of Mondays at-
tacks is a right-wing extremist
such as Rudolph or Oklahoma
City bomber Timothy McVeigh;
a foreign terrorist; an American
supporter of a foreign group; or
an individual acting out some
intense personal and possi-
bly apolitical grievance. The
design of the pressure cooker
explosive devices suggests to
some investigators that they
are of domestic origin, but that
doesnt mean they werent em-
ployed by a foreign terrorist or
an American sympathetic to a
foreign group. For now, specu-
lation reigns, though not as an-
grily and irresponsibly as it has
after some previous incidents.
On Monday we were reminded
that some individuals are willing
to settle scores by shedding the
blood of innocent men, women
and children. That fact must in-
form the way we go about our
lives, but we cant allow it to
paralyze us.

OTHER OPINION: BOSTON BOMBING
qUOTE OF THE DAY
noting that crews had to shore
up much of the wreckage before
going in.
There was no indication the
blast, which sent up a mush-
room-shaped plume of smoke
and left behind a crater, was
anything other than an indus-
trial accident, he said.
The explosion was appar-
ently touched off by a re, but
there was no indication what
sparked the blaze. The company
had been cited by regulators for
what appeared to be minor safe-
ty and permitting violations over
the past decade.
The Wednesday night explo-
sion rained burning embers and
debris down on terried resi-
dents. The landscape Thursday
was wrapped in acrid smoke and
strewn with the shattered re-
mains of buildings, furniture and
personal belongings.
Fireghter Darryl Hall choked
up as he described the search.
Youre strong through it be-
cause thats your job. Thats what
youve been trained to do. But
youre reminded of the tragedy
and your family. And that it could
be you, Hall said. Then its a
completely different story.
While the community tended
to its deep wounds, investigators
awaited clearance to enter the
blast zone for clues to what set
off the plants huge stockpile of
volatile chemicals.
Its still too hot to get in
there, said Franceska Perot, a
spokeswoman for the Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and
Explosives, later adding that she
wasnt sure when her team would
be able to start its investigation.
The precise death toll was un-
certain. Three to ve volunteer
reghters initially were believed
to be among the dead, which au-
thorities said could number as
many as 15. But the state Depart-
ment of Public Safety later said
the number of fatalities couldnt
be conrmed.
The Dallas Fire-Rescue De-
partment said one of its off-duty
reghters, Capt. Kenny Harris,
was among those killed. Harris
a 52-year-old married father of
three grown sons lived in West
and had decided to lend a hand to
the volunteers battling the blaze.
The many injuries included
broken bones, cuts and bruises,
respiratory problems and minor
burns. A few people were report-
ed in intensive care and several
more in critical condition.
First-responders evacuated 133
patients from the nursing home,
some in wheelchairs. Many were
dazed and panicked and did not
know what happened.
William Burch and his wife, a
retired Air Force nurse, entered
the damaged nursing home be-
fore rst-responders arrived.
They searched separate wings
and found residents in wheel-
chairs trapped in their rooms.
The halls were dark, and the ceil-
ings had collapsed. Water lled
the hallways. Electrical wires
hung eerily from the ceilings.
They had Sheetrock that
was on top of them. You had to
remove that, Burch said. It was
completely chaotic.
Gov. Rick Perry called the ex-
plosion a truly nightmare scenar-
io for the community and said he
had been in touch with President
Barack Obama, who promised his
administrations assistance with
operations on the ground.
Authorities said the plant
handles both the fertilizers anhy-
drous ammonia and ammonium
nitrate, the latter of which was
used in the 1995 Oklahoma City
bombing and several other at-
tacks, such as the rst bombing
attempt at the World Trade Cen-
ter in 1993.
Ammonium nitrate makes big
explosions, be they accidental or
intentional, said Neil Donahue,
professor of chemistry at Carne-
gie Mellon University. It is stable,
but if its components are heated
up sufciently, they break apart
in a runaway explosive chemical
reaction, he said.
The hotter it is, the faster the
reaction will happen, he said.
That really happens almost in-
stantaneously, and thats what
gives the tremendous force of the
explosion.
About a half-hour before the
blast, the towns volunteer re-
ghters had responded to a call
at the plant, Swanton said. They
immediately realized the poten-
tial for disaster because of the
plants chemical stockpile and
began evacuating the surround-
ing area.
The blast happened 20 minutes
later.
The U.S. Chemical Safety
Board was deploying a large in-
vestigation team to West. The
ATF team that investigates all
large res and explosions was
bringing re investigators, cer-
tied explosives specialists,
chemists, canines and forensic
specialists. American Red Cross
crews were helping evacuated
residents.

Pierantoni responded by say-
ing the two attorneys have been
compensated handsomely for
their defense work, and that al-
thoughhe set a nal cap three
different times Pierantoni
said he never said he wouldnt
entertain another request for
payment for extraordinary cir-
cumstances.
Both attorneys would not dis-
close in open court the amounts
they have been paid, but records
from the Luzerne County Con-
trollers Ofce show $90,869 has
been paid to Centini since she
was appointed by the court in
January 2012.
Centini and Rymza argued
Thursday the non-payment for
their representation affects not
only them, but also their private
lawrms and the employees and
clients who rely on them. The
attorneys noted they are being
paid signicantly less to repre-
sent Selenski than they would
charge a private client.
Centini told Pierantoni she
had a list of reasons why she
and Rymsza were seeking addi-
tional funds, and requested a pri-
vate hearing with Pierantoni. By
law, the hearing is closed to the
public and prosecutors because
the discussion includes defense
strategy.
After an hour, Pierantoni re-
turned to the courtroom, where
Centini said she was withdraw-
ing the request to be taken off
the case and would put into
motion the withdrawal of an ap-
peal to the state Superior Court
regarding the non-payment is-
sue signaling an agreement
regarding compensation.
Selenski said Thursday while
leaving the Luzerne County
Courthouse that he is glad a tri-
al date has been scheduled and
is condent the trial will begin
June 24.
In addition to a trial date,
Pierantoni also scheduled a
hearing for May 16 to address an
outstanding request by defense
attorneys regarding a claim of
misconduct by prosecutors.
Centini and Rymsza said in
court papers led in December
that prosecutors obtained medi-
cal and psychiatric records of
Selenski, even though at no time
during the course of the case has
Selenski made either his mental
or physical health an issue.
Court papers say prosecutors
obtained the records in August
and have been holding the ill-
gotten gains silently and in-
tentionally issued subpoenas to
obtain the records.

raised the specter of another
terrorist attack on U.S. soil.
FBI photo-analysis specialists
have been analyzing a moun-
tain of surveillance footage and
amateur pictures and video for
clues to who carried out the at-
tack and why.
The volume of information
is likely to grow, joined now
by a torrent of tips from people
who think they might know
the suspects. In releasing the
images, the FBI gambled that
useful clues will emerge, not
just time-wasting leads.
Authorities are selective in
putting out images of suspects
because doing so risks tipping
off the hunted and losing the el-
ement of surprise. But it can be
a last resort when authorities
hit a wall trying to identify or
capture someone.
Within moments of the an-
nouncement, the FBI website
crashed, perhaps because of a
crush of visitors.
The images were released
hours after President Barack
Obama and rst lady Michelle
Obama attended an interfaith
service at a Roman Catholic
cathedral in Boston to remem-
ber the dead and the more than
180 wounded in the twin blasts
Monday at the nish line of the
26.2-mile race.
The FBI video is a compila-
tion of segments, altogether
about 30 seconds long. The
planting of the backpack, as
described by authorities, was
not part of the footage made
public.
The man in the dark hat was
dubbed Suspect 1 and appeared
to be wearing sunglasses. The
other, in the white hat, was la-
beled Suspect 2. Both appeared
to be wearing dark jackets. The
FBI did not comment on the
mens height, weight or age
range and would not discuss
their ethnicity.
It would be inappropriate
to comment on the ethnicity of
the men because it could lead
people down the wrong path
potentially, said FBI agent
Greg Comcowich, a spokesman
for the Boston FBI ofce.
While authorities said the
information on the men began
coming together over the previ-
ous day or so, agent Daniel Cur-
tin said the FBI did not release
the photos earlier because its
important to get it right.
Distribution of the images
brought both encouragement
and unease to some Bosto-
nians.
Jennifer Lauro of Topseld,
Mass., worried that the photos
might breed unease and suspi-
cion.
It just looks like a college
kid, so I think thats going to
make people feel vulnerable,
she said. Because it could be
anybody. It looks like any kid
from Boston College or Bos-
ton University or any other
school.
Judy and Marc Ehrlich
watched the marathon from
a spot between miles 25 and
26 on Monday and felt the
ground shake when the bombs
exploded. The couple said it
was creepy to see images of
the suspects who were there at
the same time, walking around.
But they were comforted that
the FBI had come up with sus-
pects.
Unless they kill themselves,
theyre going to get found,
Marc Ehrlich said. He added:
Theres nowhere in the world
to hide.
At the Cathedral of the Holy
Cross earlier in the day, Obama
declared to the people of Bos-
ton: Your resolve is the great-
est rebuke to whoever commit-
ted this heinous act. He spoke
in almost mocking terms of
those who commit such vio-
lence.
We nish the race, and we
do that because of who we are,
the president said to applause.
And thats what the perpetra-
tors of such senseless violence
these small, stunted individ-
uals who would destroy instead
of build and think somehow
that makes them important
thats what they dont under-
stand.
We will nd you, he
warned.
Seven victims remained in
critical condition. Killed were
8-year-old Martin Richard of
Boston, 29-year-old restaurant
manager Krystle Campbell of
Medford, Mass., and Lu Lingzi,
a 23-year-old Boston University
graduate student from China.
Investigators are looking at
video frame by frame a la-
borious process, though one
aided by far more sophisticated
facial recognition technology
than is commercially available,
forensic specialists said.

BOSTON
BOSTON Called upon
to console a grieving city and
reassure a shaken nation,
President Barack Obama on
Thursday promised that Bos-
ton would run again after
deadly twin bombings at its
famous marathon. More than
2,000 people rose in a standing
ovation in the Cathedral of the
Holy Cross and sang America
the Beautiful.
Obamas message of resolve
in time of tragedy was echoed
by Mayor Thomas Menino and
Gov. Deval Patrick at a packed
interfaith service.
Nothing will take us down
because we take care of one
another, Menino said. Even
with the smell of smoke in the
air and blood in the streets and
tears in our eyes, we triumphed
over that hateful act.
Three people were killed and
more than 170 others were in-
jured, some of them grievously,
in Mondays bombings near the
races nish line.
Obama spoke just hours
before the FBI released pho-
tographs and video of two sus-
pects and asked for the publics
help in identifying them.
In the midst of an emotional
and trying stretch for the coun-
try and his presidency, Obama
vowed to track down those re-
sponsible and lauded Bostons
undaunted spirit.
Your resolve is the greatest
rebuke to whoever committed
this heinous act, he told the
gathering.
Indeed, Obamas words un-
derscored the stark reality
that has left many Americans
jittery. Even as authorities nar-
rowed their search to two men
captured on video, the suspects
remained at large and their mo-
tives were still a mystery.
For Obama, the bombings
began a week consumed not
only by terror but also disas-
ter and political defeat. Letters
sent to Washington ofcials, in-
cluding Obama and Sen. Roger
Wicker, R-Miss., were found to
contain traces of poisonous ri-
cin in tests, evoking eerie paral-
lels to the anthrax attacks that
followed the terror of Sept. 11,
2001.
The president also lost a
ght for new gun control mea-
sures in the Senate, then awoke
Thursday to news of a powerful
fertilizer plant explosion that
devastated a small Texas town.
Speaking from the pulpit
in the soaring cathedral, the
president didnt explicitly de-
clare the deadly marathon ex-
plosions an act of terror as he
did earlier in the week during
remarks at the White House.
But he showed little restraint
in describing those responsible
for the attack, calling them
small, stunted individuals.
Yes, we will nd you, and
yes, you will face justice, he
said, as the crowd some
wearing bright yellow mara-
thon jackets applauded.
Also in the crowd was
Obamas former presidential
rival, Mitt Romney, who served
one termas Massachusetts gov-
ernor. Several state ofcials,
including Democratic Sens.
Elizabeth Warren and William
Mo Cowan, traveled to Bos-
ton with Obama on Air Force
One, as did Vicki Kennedy, the
widow of the late Massachu-
setts icon, Sen. Ted Kennedy.
Thursdays service included
reections by representatives
of Protestant denominations,
the Jewish, Muslim and Greek
Orthodox faiths, and Cardinal
Sean OMalley, head of the Ro-
man Catholic church in Boston.

PENGUINS
7:05 p.m. today
Pens still have plenty on the line
By TOMVENESKY
tvenesky@timesleader.com
With a playoff spot locked up and
the fifth seed in the conference al-
most a sure thing, it would seem
that the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
Penguins have little to play for as
they wrap up the regular season
with two games at home this week-
end.
But thats not really the case.
For one, head coach John Hynes
said he wants his team to focus on
their game, get things in order and
work on those areas that still need
improving. Some players will get
needed rest while others will get
onto the ice to get some game ac-
tion and audition for a role in the
postseason.
And then theres the streak.
The Penguins have won seven
straight games and havent lost in
regulation in their last nine con-
tests. Facing Worcester tonight
at 7:05 p.m. at home, followed by
Manchester on Saturday, the Pen-
guins would like to go into the post-
season on a winning note.
Were on a great run here and
you dont want to go into the play-
offs losing games, said winger
Chris Collins. No one wants to
take a step backward.
The way Zach Sill sees it, noth-
ing has really changed heading into
this weekend, no matter that a play-
off spot is clinched.
Sill said the team is going to play
as if they had everything to play for.
We have the same mentality we
Penguins want to keep hot
streak going in regular seasons
final weekend.

SOUTH BEND, Ind.
NBC Sports Group an-
nounced a 10-year contract
extension to televise Notre
Dame football games Thurs-
day, doubling the length of its pre-
vious agreement.
NBC and Notre Dame said the
extension would begin in 2016
and run through the 2025 sea-
son. Financial terms were not
announced. The current five-
year contract is reportedly
worth $15 million annually.
NBC will have global me-
dia rights on all platforms to a minimum
of seven Notre Dame home football games
each year, with most airing on the main
NBC network. It also allows for games to be
carried on the NBC Sports Network cable
channel.
NBC has held Notre Dame football TV
rights since 1991. Terms of the new con-
tract were not announced.
Coming off one of Notre Dames best
and most dramatic seasons in decades, we
could not be more proud to extend this
historic partnership, which continues to be
one of the most innovative in sports-media
history, NBC Sports Group chairman Mark
Lazarus said in a statement. We are partic-
ularly excited that this extension offers en-
hanced rights that allow us to bring Notre
Dame football to fans on more platforms
than ever before.
Notre Dame athletic director Jack
Swarbrick said the addition of the NBC
Sports Network will allow for greater expo-
sure for the football team and other Notre
Dame sports programs.
We look forward to collaborating on ad-
ditional projects and distribution strategies
in seasons to come, Swarbrick said in a
statement.
Notre Dames football team finished the
regular season 12-0 last season and lost to
Alabama in the BCS championship game.

Andy Reid returning to Phila-

The NFL schedule is filled
with return visits and intriguing
matchups, beginning with a road

And Pey-

of that too,

opener on
Sept. 5. The
Orioles are
home that
night and Major League Baseball
could not move their game.
So $121 million quarterback
Joe Flacco and his fellowchamps
were sent to Denver to face
Manning and the team they beat
in double overtime on their way
to the Super Bowl.
The next week, Peyton visits
Elis house.
Both Manning brothers often
have said its uncomfortable yet
memorable playing against each
other; its only happened twice,
with Peyton and the Colts win-
ning. Even though Peyton now
is a Bronco, the dynamic is un-
changed for the star quarter-
backs.
We havent talked about it a
whole lot, Eli said. More kind
of joking and jabs at each other,
but obviously anytime you play
your brother it is special. It is
unique and I cherish those mo-
ments whether before the game
or looking across during the
national anthem and seeing my
big brother and seeing him at
the coin flip; those are great mo-
ments that well cherish.
The folks in Indy cherished
having Peyton Manning as their
record-setting quarterback for
13 seasons; he sat out 2011 after
several neck surgeries, then was

Beat the Heat?

LeBron James and the Miami Heat open the playoffs against Milwaukee on Sunday.
Looking for a reason not to
pick the Miami Heat to win an-
other NBA title?
Dont check the odds, where
the Heat are such an over-
whelming favorite that it might
as well be Tiger Woods against
a weekend hacker.
Definitely dont bother with
the Heats results, which show
exactly three losses since the
start of February.
And certainly dont look on
the court, where LeBron James
sent season-long reminders
that hes better than ever and
already the best in the world.
The only people who might
really believe in caution are the
Heat themselves.
Theres going to be trials
and tribulations no matter
what, no matter how good of a
team you are, Dwyane Wade
said. Theres going to be a mo-
ment in the playoffs where our
back is going to be against the
wall. And I think everything
weve done this season will pre-
pare us for that moment. We
have a goal, just like every other
team that gets into the playoffs,
to win a championship. But we
understand the process that it
takes.
It starts Saturday, when the
playoffs start with four first-
round games. The Heat will
open Sunday against Milwau-
kee in whats expected to be a
quick series.
Then it will be up to some-
one like the Knicks, Thunder,
Spurs, or some other contend-
er, to prove that the next two
months arent just a formality.
Theyve had the best re-
cord and theyre the defending
champs so theyre the team to
beat, but I dont think its much
beyond that, Nets interim
coach P.J. Carlesimo said. I

RED WINGS

RAILRIDERS
Big first
inning lifts
Rochester
ROCHESTER, N.Y. A rocky
first inning doomed Dellin Be-
tances again.
For the second straight start,
the big right-hander gave up
multiple runs in the first frame
and that led to the Rochester
Red Wings
snapping a sev-
en-game losing
streak, beating
the Scranton/
Wi l kes- Barre
RailRiders 5-4
on Thursday.
B e t a n c e s ,
who was pitch-
ing on three-
days rest after
lasting just 2/3
of an inning on
Sunday when
he allowed six
earned runs, al-
lowed four runs
in the bottomof
the first inning as the first four
Red Wings batters all scored.
The big blast came off the bat
of Chris Colabello, who clubbed
a two-run home run to put Roch-
ester ahead 4-1. It was Colabel-
los fifth longball of the season.
Betances (0-2) settled down a
little after that, allowing just one
run in the bottom of the third
when a run scored on an error.
But on the night, he was shaky
overall, lasting just four innings
and giving up five runs on four
hits and three walks while strik-
ing out four and uncorking a
wild pitch. His ERA did drop t0
13.50 for the season.
The RailRiders, who dropped
to 5-7 on the season, had their
offense working again on Thurs-
day as they piled up 12 hits in the
loss and hit two home runs. Five
hitters in the lineup had at least
two hits. Melky Mesa led the way,
going 3-for-4 with his third home
run of the season. All three of
Mesas homers have come against
Rochester relievers.
Trailing 5-1 after three in-
nings, the RailRiders began to
chip away. They got one back
in the top of the fifth when Dan
Johnson got a run in on a sacri-
fice fly.
SWB, which still posted a win-
ning road trip at 4-2, got closer
on Mesas blast in the eighth to
cut the lead to 5-3. David Adams
(2-for-4) hit a solo shot in the
top of the ninth. His first homer
pulled the RailRiders within one.

When you watch Mia Hopkins play bas-
ketball, you see a determination on her face.
Its that look where you know she would
succeed in anything she applied herself to.
In the sports world, that could have been
golf or track or soccer. She could have made
a name for herself on the diamond and
while her glove has been put away, she still
keeps a mean scorebook for the Pittston
Area baseball team.
But its basketball where Hopkins has
emerged as a star. After being named to
the Class 3A All-State Second Team for a
second consecutive season, Hopkins has
been selected as The Times Leader Player
of the Year.
I used to golf with my Uncle Louis and
my grandma at Emanon, Hopkins said of
one of her other many sporting pursuits.
When I was younger, I went up there every
day. I still like playing now, but I never re-
ally wanted to do it as a career.
Shes been on the track team, played
youth soccer and spent some time in Little
League. But on the basketball court, Hop-
kins plays a game few others in the region
can match. She averaged 19 points and 10
rebounds while leading Pittston Area to a
WVC-best 22 wins this season. The senior
starts her workouts for Monmouth, her
future college, next week. And the Hawks
cant wait to have her.
I heard Mia scored her 1,000th point
as a junior, and averaged around 21 points
and 17 rebounds, Monmouth freshman
guard Jasmine Walker said to The (Mon-
mouth) Outlook in February while talking
about incoming players who could help the
program.
They gave me an exact workout for the
next five weeks, Hopkins said. Ill be lift-
ing 4-5 days a week. Ive been doing my own
stuff at the gym to prepare for the regimen.
For Hopkins, there will always be plenty
of great memories from Pittston Area. This
season, they included her 1,500th career
point and 1,000th career rebound both
unprecedented marks in Patriots history.
She has also had a decorated career
outside of high school play. Her skills have
taken her to memorable stops in Washing-
ton, D.C., Virginia, and a team camp at the
University of North Carolina.
Thats a big question, Hopkins said
when asked about her favorite trip. Ive
been to a lot of places.
Shell be going to many more places dur-
ing her college career.
On her signing day, Hopkins was quick
to thank family, everyone at Pittston Area,
her AAU coach and all of her teammates.
She found facing Isiah Walkers Crestwood
teams during her high school career to be a
unique experience.
Our conference has a lot of good teams.
Every game was a battle, said Hopkins,
who faced a lot of gadget defenses and
gameplans focused on her. But especially
going against Crestwood, its very hard
when people know what you can do. I
expected those games to be tough. Their
head coach knows a little bit more about
me because hes my AAU coach (with Firm
AC). Hes a smart coach, so when we played
them I expected people to come at me from
all directions.
The only direction for Hopkins now is
forward. Pittston Area girls basketballs first
Division I recruit is ready to make a name
for herself at the next level.
Before I made my decision, I was a bit
nervous, Hopkins said. I was down to a
couple of schools, but it all fell into place.
Im so happy with how it all worked out.
It definitely made the season easier. My
assistant (coach at Monmouth) came to one
game and my head coach came to another.
I didnt have to stress over it I just got to
go out and play because I was already going
there.

NEWARK, N.J. Rutgers
is turning to one of its greatest
players to lead the basketball
program past an embarrassing
coaching scandal and into its
future with the Big Ten Confer-
ence.
A person familiar with the sit-
uation told The Associated Press
that Los Angeles Lakers assis-
tant Eddie Jordan has reached a
tentative agreement to take over
as coach of the scandal-marred
program.
The person spoke on condition
of anonymity because the school
has not officially announced the
deal with its all-time leader in as-
sists and steals.
The person said the two sides
hammered out the five-year con-
tract after Jordan returned to
New Jersey Wednesday. The deal
needs to be reviewed by the uni-
versitys board of governors, and
an official press conference might
not happen until next Tuesday.
The agreement comes just
more than two weeks after Rut-
gers fired Mike Rice after a video
was aired that showed him grab-
bing and kicking players at prac-
tice, and using anti-gay slurs.
The video was compiled from
recordings taken during Rices
three years as coach.
Rutgers announced late
Thursday that Rice will receive
a $475,000 settlement, less than
half of whats called for under his
contract for being terminated.
Athletic director Tim Pernetti,
a university lawyer and assistant
coach Jimmy Martelli also re-
signed amid the scandal.
A board member familiar with
Jordans tentative contract said it
has some legal issues that have
to be addressed by the board.
The member did not think the
legal issues would be a problem,
perhaps just a delay.
The board is not scheduled
to meet again until June 20. A
telephone conference call can be
held to handle urgent issues, but
board members need 48 hours
notice to do so.

RailRiders return
for homestand
By DAVE ROSENGRANT
drosengrant@timesleader.com
After a successful road trip,
the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
RailRiders return home tonight
to PNC Field hoping to continue
that stretch to begin an eight-
game homestand.
The stay at home starts at
7:05 p.m. today with a game
against Syracuse, the Triple-
A affiliate of the Washington
Nationals. A familiar face for
both Nationals and Yankees fans
is slated to be on the mound for
the RailRiders in Chien-Ming
Wang, who played for both
major league clubs. Wang, who
was signed to a minor league
deal by New York last month,
will be making his first start of
the season. Hell be opposed by
Chiefs right-hander Yunesky
Maya (0-1, 5.25 ERA).
Also tonight, the RailRiders
will auction off the owners suite
at PNC Field for the June 21
game. The proceeds from the
auction will be used to support
the victims of the bombing at
the Boston Marathon.
Entering Thursdays game
against Rochester, the RailRid-
ers pitched 20 consecutive
scoreless innings and scored 30
runs during a current four-game
winning streak. The Chiefs
enter PNC Field on a four-game
slide after getting shellacked by
Buffalo on Thursday at home
27-9.
Saturdays probables are Rail-
Riders righty Brett Marshall (0-
1, 11.25) versus Syracuse RHP
Ryan Perry (0-0, 6.30). Like
today, Saturdays game time in
7:05 p.m. The teams meet again
on Sunday afternoon with a
pair of lefties going at it. SWB
opening-day starter Vidal Nuno
(1-0, 1.53) will be pitted against
the Chiefs Danny Rosenbaum
(1-0, 0.82). The series concludes
Monday at 6:35 p.m. with Rail-
Riders right-hander Chris Boot-
check (1-0, 0.00 in two starts)
facing former SWB Yankee Ross
Ohlendorf (2-1, 3.45).
There are also plenty of
promotions going on during the
series.
Tonight there will be fire-
works and Saturday night will
be a RailRiders welcome mat
giveaway to the first 2,500 fans.
Sunday is family fun day at the
ballpark and is also hockey day
with several members of the
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pen-
guins and mascot Tux sched-
uled to be on hand before the
team takes to the ice later in the
week to begin the AHL playoffs.
The series concludes with dollar
hot dog night on Monday.
When the Chiefs leave town,
the Columbus Clippers enter
for a four-game set Tuesday
through Friday. Games on
Tuesday and Thursday against
the Triple-A affiliate of the
Cleveland Indians begin at 6:35
p.m. with Wednesdays contest
being the first of two School
Day games this season for the
RailRiders with game time at
10:35 a.m. The homestand ends
on April 26 with Friday Fire-
works and a 7:05 p.m. start.
LAWN SEATS OPEN
The first homestand of the
season at PNC Field didnt
exactly go the way the team had
planned on the field or weather
wise. Because the temperature
was so chilly on the first few
days, the lawn seats were not
available because the sod was
still getting acclimated to the
ground.
Now, the grass is as green as
on the field and will be open
for fans to take in the action
starting tonight. Tickets for the
lawn seats can be purchased for
$7. You can also take advantage
of that on Tuesday against Co-
lumbus because every Tuesday
is a 2-for-1, when you buy a lawn
seat ticket and get one free.
GAME NOT ON TV
Tonights game was origi-
nally slated to be broadcast
live on WQMY as the first of
20 telecasts throughout the
season. The game will not be on
tonight, though, as originally
planned. The first live show-
ing on the network will now
be on Friday, May 10. Another
date will be announced at a
later time to take the place of
tonights broadcast.

The Associated Press
LONDON Lance Arm-
strongs former team manager
believes cycling has entered a
new era after months of contro-
versy, much of it provoked by
the disgraced former seven-
time Tour de France winner.
In his first website posting
since August, when the U.S.
Anti-Doping Agency alleged
massive doping by Armstrongs
Tour de France teams, Johan
Bruyneel wrote on Thursday
that the sport is focusing again
on riders.
Im glad that through all
the controversy the past few
months, the sport has pre-
vailed, said the Belgian, a
former rider. The riders have
seemed to embrace this new era
and the fans equally as much.
Bruyneel picked Fabian
Cancellara, Peter Sagan and
Mark Cavendish as riders who
earned the fans admiration
this season. Cancellara rides for
the RadioShack Leopard-Trek
team, which Bruyneel managed
until agreeing to leave last Oc-
tober after USADA published
a 1,000-page dossier detail-
ing how Armstrongs teams
cheated.
Bruyneel wrote that he could
not comment on other issues,
which include legal cases that
implicate him.
There will be a time and
place for me to share my
thoughts and insights on the
subject, but it will not be now
due to ongoing proceedings,
he said.
Though Armstrong declined
to fight USADAs allegations,
Bruyneel has opted for an arbi-
tration hearing.
Bruyneel is also named in
a U.S. whistleblower lawsuit
launched by former U.S. Postal
Service rider Floyd Landis,
which seeks to recover millions
of dollars allegedly defrauded
from the sponsor. Armstrong
got his first six Tour titles in
USPS colors from 1999-2004.
The Justice Department said
in February it would join the
federal case and file a formal
complaint within 60 days. That
deadline is Tuesday.
No date has been set for
Bruyneels arbitration hearing
in which Armstrong is a poten-
tial witness.
USADA chief executive Tra-
vis Tygart has said the agency
talked with Armstrong earlier
this year about revealing more
about his doping, which he
confessed to Oprah Winfrey in
a televised interview in January.
Tygart said Armstrong was
concerned about potential
criminal and civil liability if he
did so.
Hoy retires
MANCHESTER, England
Six-time gold medalist Chris
Hoy retired from cycling Thurs-
day, saying he had expended
every last ounce of effort and
energy in becoming Britains
most decorated Olympian and
spearheading the countrys rise
to the top of the sport.
Hoy decided to quit now
rather than compete in the
2014 Commonwealth Games
in his native Scotland, where
the track cycling will be held
in Glasgows Sir Chris Hoy
Velodrome.
Lance Armstrong manager hails cyclings new era
FIFA: Libya safe to host Cup qualifiers
The Associated Press
ZURICH FIFA authorized
Libya to host World Cup qualify-
ing matches, saying the country
is safe enough for its first inter-
national home games since the
uprising that ousted Moammar
Gadhafi.
FIFA has decided to reautho-
rize matches in Libya, the gov-
erning body said Thursday .
Libya will host Congo in Trip-
oli on June 7 and Togo in Benina,
near Benghazi, on June 14.
A previous home qualifier,
against Cameroon last June, was
played in Sfax, Tunisia. Libya
won 2-1.
NEW YORK Yankees cap-
tain Derek Jeter will be side-
lined until after the All-Star
break because of a new fracture
in his injured left ankle.
Jeter was hurt last October in
the opener of the AL champion-
ship series. He played sparingly
in spring training and started
the season rehabbing at the
teams minor league complex in
Tampa, Fla.
After three straight days of
workouts, the 38-year-old went
to Charlotte, N.C., and was ex-
amined by Dr. Robert Anderson,
who operated last fall.
They did a new CT scan
which revealed a small crack
in the area of the previous in-
jury, so we have to back off and
let that heal, Yankees general
manager Brian Cashman said
before New York played Arizo-
na. This is obviously a setback.
In terms of speculating on when
we might see Derek back with
us, wed be looking at some time
after the All-Star break.
Cashman did not think Jeter
did too much too soon in his re-
habilitation.
Clearly he hasnt done any-
thing wrong, the GM said. He
was cleared to play. This is the
third CTscan hes had. His prior
two CT scans showed the heal-
ing and 100 percent healing.
Jeter will not require surgery
for the newbreak, Cashman said
after speaking with Anderson.
BALTIMOREMatt Wieters
hit a grand slam in the bottom
of the 10th inning and the Bal-
timore Orioles withstood four
solo homers by the Tampa Bay
Rays in a 10-6 victory Thursday
night.
Nolan Reimold and Steve
Pearce also homered for the
Orioles, who took two of three
from their AL East rivals. It was
Baltimores 17th straight extra-
inning victory, including 16 last
season.
After Nick Markakis led off
the 10th with a single against
Jamey Wright (0-1), Brandon
Gomes came in to face Manny
Machado, who reached on a
bunt single that hugged the
first base line. Adam Jones fol-
lowed with a long single to the
warning track that eluded right
fielder Ben Zobrist, but Marka-
kis held up at second and could
only make it to third.
Red Sox 6, Indians 3
CLEVELAND Jon Lester
pitched seven strong innings,
Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit a tie-
breaking home run in the fourth
and the Boston Red Sox got
their sixth straight win with a
victory over the Cleveland Indi-
ans.
The Red Sox return home
to play Kansas City on Friday
night, their first game at Fenway
Park since Mondays bombings
at the Boston Marathon.
Lester (3-0) held the Indians
to two runs and four hits. Daniel
Nava had two RBIs while Saltal-
amacchia, Dustin Pedroia, Mike
Napoli and Mike Carp each
drove in a run.
Indians manager Terry Fran-
cona, who managed in Boston
for eight seasons and led the
Red Sox to World Series titles in
2004 and 2007, was swept in the
first series against his former
team. Cleveland has lost four
straight.
Zach McAllister (1-2) allowed
three runs in five innings.
Andrew Bailey pitched the
ninth for his second save.
Blue Jays 3, White Sox 1
TORONTO Knuckleballer
R.A. Dickey threw six shutout
innings before leaving with sore-
ness in his neck and back, Rajai
Davis had two hits and the To-
ronto Blue Jays beat the Chica-
go White Sox.
Dickey (2-2) allowed two hits,
both singles. The reigning NL
Cy Young Award winner, walked
one, struck out a season-high
seven and lowered his ERAfrom
5.82 to 4.30.
Dickey retired the first 11
White Sox batters before Alex
Rios hit a two-out single to
center in the fourth. Rios went
to second on a wild pitch and
Paul Konerko walked, but Adam
Dunn struck out to end the in-
ning.
Blue Jays trainer George Pou-
lis and manager John Gibbons
came to the mound after Dickey
struck out Dewayne Wise for
the second out of the sixth. Af-
ter a brief discussion, Dickey re-
mained in the game, getting Jeff
Keppinger to fly out to left.
Mariners 2, Tigers 0
SEATTLE Kyle Seager hit
a two-out RBI double off Justin
Verlander in the seventh inning
to break a scoreless tie and help
give the Seattle Mariners a vic-
tory over the Detroit Tigers.
The teams played about 13
hours after the Tigers 2-1 vic-
tory in 14 innings in a game that
had a combined 40 strikeouts.

Braves rally
past Pirates
PITTSBURGH Pinch-hit-
ter Evan Gattis connected for
a tiebreaking, two-run homer
in the eighth inning and the At-
lanta Braves beat the Pittsburgh
Pirates 6-4 on Thursday.
Atlanta brothers B.J. and Jus-
tin Upton homered in the same
game for the second time this
season as the Braves kept up
their torrid play. Atlanta im-
proved to a major league-best
13-2 after Gattis hit a sinker
from Jared Hughes (1-1) into
the left-field bleachers for the
first pinch-hit homer of his ca-
reer.
Justin Upton leads the majors
with nine home runs.
Anthony Varvaro (1-0) won in
relief of starter Julio Teheran.
Craig Kimbrel worked a perfect
ninth for his seventh save.
Rockies 11, Mets 3
DENVER It was 28 de-
grees when Jon Garland threw
the first pitch Thursday, and
he worked seven solid innings
to give the Colorado Rockies a
win over the New York Mets in
the wrap-up of a wintry series at
Coors Field.
The crowd was announced at
18,341 as the Rockies matched
a team record for the coldest
home start. A game against the
Montreal Expos on April 12,
1997, was played in a similarly
frigid conditions.
Garland (2-0) allowed two
runs and six hits. He walked
none and struck out four.
Troy Tulowitzki homered and
hit a go-ahead single off Jona-
thon Niese (2-1).
Cardinals 4, Phillies 3
PHILADELPHIA Carlos
Beltran hit a go-ahead homer in
the eighth, Adam Wainwright
pitched seven solid innings and
the St. Louis Cardinals held on
to beat the Philadelphia Phillies.
Philadelphia put runners at
first and third with no outs in
the ninth against Edward Mu-
jica, but the fill-in closer retired
three straight batters for his
first save. The Phillies lost their
fourth in a row.
Wainwright (3-1) gave up
three runs and nine hits while
striking out four and walking
none.
Brewers 7, Giants 2
MILWAUKEE Yovani Gal-
lardo homered and struck out
six in his first start since being
arrested on a drunken driv-
ing charge, and the Milwaukee
Brewers beat San Francisco for
a three-game sweep.
Reds 11, Marlins 1
CINCINNATI Shin-Soo
Choo singled, doubled and
scored twice, helping left-hand-
er Tony Cingrani get a victory in
his first major league start, and
the Cincinnati Reds beat Miami
for their fourth win in a row.

CHICAGO Alfonso So-

had before we clinched, he
said. No ones going to be tak-
ing it easy.
Especially Manchester.
The Monarchs enter the
weekend two points out of the
final playoff spot in the Eastern
Conference. Saturdays game at
the Mohegan Sun Arena will be
their second in a three-in-three
to close out the season.
The Penguins have won all
three meetings with Manches-
ter, so theyd love to go a per-
fect 4-0 with a win to close out
the regular season.
When youre winning you
have confidence, and thats the
way we want to go into the play-
offs, Collins said. We have to
play the game the right way,
dont develop any bad habits
and try to win both games.
NOTES
G Brad Thiessen and C
Zach Sill enter the postseason
as the longest-tenured Pen-
guins. Sill, who is in his fourth
year, has played in 28 postsea-
son games over the last three
seasons and said the experience
has been the key to his longev-
ity.
For me, playing in the play-
offs has kept me around, Sill
said. Its gotten me a contract.
The regular season is one thing,
but if you can showup and raise
your level in playoffs, then you
prove yourself valuable to the
organization.
With eight players on the
roster signed to either an ATO
or PTO, hanging around the
team during a playoff run can
be a valuable learning experi-
ence. Bill Guerin, who serves
as Pittsburghs player develop-
ment coach, said theres a good
reason for keeping the young
players around even if they
dont see much game action.
You want these guys to get
as much as experience with
the team as they can so they
dont come in shocked next
year, Guerin said. Theyre not
playing against kids anymore.
Theyre playing against men.
Theyre playing against a guy
that is 30 years old, has two
kids and needs to feed his fam-
ily. Thats different than playing
junior or college hockey.
PENGUINS

released by the Colts and signed
with Denver. The reception he
almost certainly will receiver at
Lucas Oil Stadium will be warm
and loud.
Its always fun when you spend
time at a place and then go back,
said Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri,
who has done that in Foxborough
four times. Im sure hell get a
standing ovation right when he
comes out. Hopefully, it will be
loud and the fans will make it
hard for him (to call plays).
Like they do in Philadelphia
for both teams.
Reid jokingly acted surprised
about the Chiefs Week 3 trip
to the City of Brotherly Love
and, at times, venom for the
coach of the Eagles, which Reid
was for 14 seasons. Reid and the
rest of the Chiefs knew about it
long ago.
Were playing Philly? said
Reid, hired by Kansas City days
after being fired in Philly. Nah,
itll be an exciting atmosphere.
It always is at Lincoln Financial
Field there. But right now, Im a
Chief, so were going to get our-
selves ready to play, whenever
and wherever we have to play
this season.
Other high-profile games:
The Sunday night season
opener is the Giants at the Cow-
boys, and the Monday night
doubleheader has Philadelphia
at Washington with or with-
out Offensive Rookie of the Year
Robert Griffin III, who is reha-
bilitating a major knee injury
then Houston at San Diego.
I will say this: Here comes the
challenge again, Giants coach
Tom Coughlin said. We didnt
play as well last year on the road
as we had in previous years and
so thats a great challenge for our
team.
Thanksgiving Day has De-
troit hosting Green Bay once
an every-year occurrence and
Dallas at home for Oakland. The
holiday night game features one
of footballs most intense rival-
ries: Pittsburgh at Baltimore.
Rematches of 2012 champi-
onship games come on Sunday
night, Dec. 22, with New Eng-
land at Baltimore, and the next
night, with NFC winner San
Francisco at Atlanta in the final
Monday nighter of the season.
Buffalos annual home game
in Toronto will be against the
Falcons on Dec. 1.
London will host two previ-
ously announced matches: Min-
nesota hosting Pittsburgh on
Sept. 29, and Jacksonville host-
ing San Francisco on Oct. 27.
2012 MVP Adrian Peterson
and the Vikings open at Detroit.
Other notable games on the first
weekend have Green Bay at San
Francisco and Atlanta at New
Orleans.
NFL

mean, give them their due.
They have the best record and
theyre the defending champs,
so theyre the team that you
need to beat, but no, I dont
think anybody is head and
shoulders over any. Theres too
many good teams.
New York, which won three
out of four from Miami, hosts
Boston on Saturday in the play-
off opener. The Nets welcome
Chicago for the first postsea-
son game in Brooklyn, while
the Western Conference has
Golden State visiting Denver,
and the Clippers and Memphis
Grizzlies squaring off in a first-
round rematch.
On Sunday, the Lakers go to
San Antonio without Kobe Bry-
ant, and defending West champ
Oklahoma City faces former
Thunder star James Harden
and Houston. Indiana and At-
lanta meet in the other East
game.
Miami went 66-16 and has
been so dominant since Super
Bowl Sunday that the betting
site Bovada gave the Heat open-
ing odds to win the champion-
ship that it said were unheard
of in recent years and then
already had to lower them
when most of the action was
coming in on the Heat, anyway.
That dropped Miami to a
2-to-3 favorite, meaning a $3
bet only won $2 more. The
Heat were 2-to-9 favorites to
win the East, where Indiana
and Chicago also beat them
multiple times during the regu-
lar season.
Knicks center Tyson Chan-
dler said the other contenders
shouldnt feel slighted by all
the experts that are picking the
Heat.
No, not at all. They should
pick the Heat, he said.
Theyre the defending cham-
pions and they should get that
respect. But thats not what we
believe. We havent believed in
that throughout the year. But
they should get that respect be-
cause theyve earned it.
Miami faced plenty of adver-
sity during last seasons cham-
pionship run.
They were down 2-1 to Indi-
ana in the second round, with
Wade struggling and Chris
Bosh injured. The Celtics took
a 3-2 lead in the conference
finals back to Boston before
James fought off elimination
with a 45-point performance in
Game 6, and the Thunder took
the opener of the NBA Finals
and nearly rallied two nights
later to put the Heat in a 2-0
hole.
But this version of the Heat
is much better, and certainly
miles above the team that lost
in the 2011 finals in the first
season with its Big Three. With
Ray Allen, Chris Andersen and
Rashard Lewis, the Heat have
added players who were able to
win games for them even when
they chose to rest their super-
stars down the stretch.
Its a challenge. Look, these
guys are really good. Theyre
the world champions, Mil-
waukee coach Jim Boylan
said. Dwyane Wade has won
multiple NBA championships,
LeBron is going to win multiple
NBA championships before
its all over and lets not forget
Chris Bosh and Ray Allen and
all the other guys, too. Shane
Battier. Great players. They
present a large, large number of
problems.
There is much more intrigue
out West, especially in the two
series involving Los Angeles
teams. The Clippers and Griz-
zlies went seven games last
year before the Clippers ad-
vanced, and this time they have
the home-court advantage. The
Lakers didnt even clinch a play-
off spot until Wednesday, but
they won their final five games
and look dangerous even with-
out Bryant thanks to the inside
play of Dwight Howard and Pau
Gasol.
The Lakers and Spurs had
one of the NBAs best postsea-
son rivalries in the last decade,
and this one could join their list
of memorable series.
Were happy that were in
the playoffs but were not done
yet, Howard said.

Rory Sabbatini tees off on the first hole during the first round
of the RBC Heritage golf tournament Thursday in Hilton Head
Island, S.C.
HILTON HEAD ISLAND,
S.C. Jason Day and Marc
Leishman kept the Australian
flag flying high at the RBC
Heritage.
Four days after countryman
Adam Scott became the first
Australian to win the Masters,
Day and Leishman shot 4-un-
der 67 and trailed leader Brian
Davis by two shots Thursday
after the first round at Harbour
Town Golf Links.
Davis lost a playoff to Jim
Furyk in 2010 at Harbour
Town after calling a penalty on
himself. This time, the English-
man birdied eight of his final 14
holes for a 65 to pull past Day
and Leishman, who were back
in contention after falling short
Sunday at Augusta National.
Kevin Streelman and Charley
Hoffman were a stroke behind
Davis at 66, while Johnson
Wagner also shot 67. U.S. Open
champion Webb Simpson led a
large group at 68.
Day and Leishman cant
make history for their country
at the RBC Heritage only
enhance it. Several Aussies
have won at Harbour Town,
including Graham Marsh in
1977 and Greg Norman 11
years later. Aaron Baddeley
was the last Australian to take
the champions tartan jacket in
2006.
For a population that I
think is around 23 million
people in Australia, and the
last time I checked the land
size is a little bit bigger than
North America, Day says.
Thats been apparent on the
PGA Tour in recent weeks.
Scott, Day and Leishman
were all in hunt at Augusta
National on the back nine until
Scott, the most experienced of
the Aussie trio, rose up at the
end and beat Angel Cabrera in
a playoff. Day finished third and
Leishman tied for fourth, mean-
ing all three are already quali-
fied to return to the Masters.
Defending champ Miyazato
leads in Hawaii
KAPOLEI, Hawaii De-
fending champion Ai Mi-
yazato had five birdies in a late
six-hole stretch Thursday at
wind-swept Ko Olina to top
the leaderboard in the second
round of the LPGA Lotte
Championship.
The Japanese star, a nine-
time winner on the LPGA
Tour, shot a 4-under 68 to
reach 9-under 135.
Suzann Pettersen was a
stroke back with nine holes left
in her afternoon round. The
Norwegian was 1 under for the
round after opening with a 65 in
calmer conditions Wednesday.

TORONTO John Tavares
had two goals and an assist
Thursday as the New York Is-
landers rallied past Toronto 5-3
on Thursday and moved within
two points of the Maple Leafs
for fifth place in the Eastern
Conference.
The Islanders overcame an
early 2-0 deficit to win the first
of five straight road games it
will play to end the regular
season. They improved to 13-5-
2 away from home, and earned
their fifth win in six games as
they chase their first playoff
berth since 2007.
Brad Boyes, with a goal and
two assists, Matt Moulson and
Frans Nielsen also scored for
New York.
Cody Franson, Joffrey Lupul
and Dion Phaneuf scored for
the Leafs, who were solidly out-
shot 38-21 Phil Kessel, appear-
ing in his 500th career NHL
game, added three assists.
Rangers 6, Panthers 1
NEW YORK Rick Nash
had a goal and assist in the
first period, and Ryan Callahan
had a pair of assists as the New
York Rangers hung on to eighth
place in the Eastern Confer-
ence with a 6-1 victory over the
Florida Panthers on Thursday
night.
Derick Brassard and Nash
both scored power-play goals,
with help from Callahan in
the first, and Mats Zuccarello
found the net for the second
straight game to give the play-
off-hopeful Rangers their sixth
win in nine games (6-2-1).
New York had a lackluster
4-2 loss at Philadelphia on
Tuesday that allowed Winni-
peg to get even in points in the
tight Eastern race. The Rangers
(22-17-4) have five games left.
Jonathan Huberdeau scored
in the second period for Florida
(13-24-6).
Devils 3, Flyers 0
PHILADELPHIA Martin
Brodeur stopped 23 shots for
his 121st career shutout to
keep New Jerseys slim playoff
hopes alive with a 3-0 win over
the Philadelphia Flyers.
Ryan Carter, Matt DAgostini
and Adam Henrique scored
goals to help the Devils snap
their 10 game winless streak
(0-6-4).
The Devils entered the game
eight points out of the eighth
and final playoff spot in the
Eastern Conference. They have
five games left and need a lot
of help to even think about a
postseason berth. For one more
night, at least, the Devils still
have hope.
Brodeur wasnt seriously
tested all game but did enough
to earn his second shutout of
the season. He got his 11th
career shutout vs. the Flyers.
Senators 3, Capitals 1
OTTAWA Kyle Turris
scored twice and the Ottawa
Senators ended Washingtons
winning streak at eight games
with a victory over the Capi-
tals.
Cory Conacher also scored
and Craig Anderson made 18
saves to help the Senators (23-
14-6) win their fourth straight.
Mike Ribeiro scored and
Braden Hotlby stopped 35
shots for the Southeast Divi-
sion-leading Capitals (24-18-2).
While Anderson was rarely
tested, he did make some time-
ly saves to bail out his team in
the third. With the Senators
holding a 2-1 lead midway
through the final period, Ander-
son made a huge save on Eric
Fehr when he skated in on net
all alone.
Canadiens 3, Lightning 2
MONTREAL Brian Gion-
ta scored his second goal of
the game with 47 seconds left
in regulation and the Montreal
Canadiens snapped a three-
game skid with a victory over
the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Gionta was at the left post
to put a rebound off the end
boards into an open side for the
winner.
Alex Galchenyuk also scored
for the Canadiens, who had
been outscored 18-8 in their
three previous outings. Mon-
treal swept their three-game
season series with the Light-
ning.

SECTI ON B
IN BRIEF
Leading indicators down
A measure of the U.S. economys fu-
ture health declined slightly in March,
signaling that growth could slow this
spring.
The Conference Board says its
index of leading indicators dipped
0.1 percent last month to 94.7. Thats
the rst decline after three months of
gains. The gauge is designed to antici-
pate economic conditions three to six
months out.
Declines in consumer condence,
housing permits and new orders for
manufactured goods pushed down the
index.
Higher stock prices and a larger
spread between long-term and short-
term interest rates offset the decline.
Jobless applications rise
The number of Americans seeking
unemployment benets increased
only 4,000 last week to a seasonally
adjusted 352,000. The slight gain kept
applications at a level consistent with
solid hiring and suggests Marchs slug-
gish hiring might be temporary.
The Labor Department report
released Thursday also noted that
the four-week average, a less volatile
measure, rose only 2,750 to 361,250.
Because the four-week average changes
less than the weekly number, many
economists say it better captures the
pace of layoffs.
Applications are a proxy for layoffs.
They jumped three weeks ago to a
four-month high, but then plummeted
the next week.
Job growth slowed sharply in March.
Employers added only 88,000 jobs last
month, much lower than the average
monthly gain of 220,000 from Novem-
ber through February.
Yahoo releases new apps
Yahoo is taking the next step in
its effort to make some of its most
popular services more appealing and
accessible to the growing audience
connecting to the Internet on smart-
phones and tablet computers.
The mobile push being orchestrated
by CEO Marissa Mayer has hatched
Yahoos rst email application for
Apple Inc.s iPad and other tablet
computers running on Google Inc.s
Android software.
Yahoo Inc. also has created a new
weather app for Apples iPhone that
will provide current temperatures and
forecasts on top of slideshows featur-
ing pictures of landmarks and other
scenery in the cities chosen by a user.

SAN FRANCISCO Googles lat-
est quarterly results provided further
proof that the Internet search leader
is guring out how to make more
money as Web surfers migrate from
personal computers to mobile de-
vices.
The rst-quarter numbers released
Thursday show that a recent decline
in Googles average ad prices is eas-
ing. The trend indicates marketers are
starting to pay more for the ads that
Google distributes to smartphones
and tablet computers. Mobile ads
so far have fetched less money than
those viewed on the larger screens of
laptop and desktop computers.
But a growing number of people
are clicking on mobile ads as they
increasingly connect to Internet ser-
vices on smartphones and tablets,
driving down average price paid for
a marketing link. Googles average
price, or the cost per click to ad-
vertisers, has fallen from the previ-
ous year in six consecutive quarters,
including the opening three months
of the year.
The latest decrease in average ad
prices was 4 percent. By compari-
son, Googles average ad price fell
by 6 percent during the nal three
months of last year and by 12 percent
during last years rst quarter.
Googles stock edged up $4.09, or
0.5 percent, to $770 in extended trad-
ing after the numbers came out.
Google is a good way to monitor
the health of digital commerce be-
cause it runs the Internets largest
advertising network and is now a
major player in the mobile comput-
ing market. Its also one of the worlds
most powerful companies, so what
happens to it can affect millions of
people and businesses.
Google Inc. earned $3.3 billion, or
$9.94 per share, during the opening
three months of the year. That was a
16 percent increase from $2.9 billion,
or $8.75 per share, last year.
If not for certain expenses, Google
said it would have earned $11.58 per
share. That gure exceeded the aver-
age earnings estimate of $10.65 per
share among analysts surveyed by
FactSet.
Revenue climbed 31 percent from
last year to $14 billion.
After subtracting advertising com-
missions, Googles revenue totaled
$11 billion about $335 million be-
low analyst estimates.
Google has been growing at an
impressive clip for a company of its
size. Its ability to keep growing has
given the company a market value of
more than $250 billion, second only
to Apple Inc. among technology com-
panies.

NEW YORK Microsofts rev-
enue and net income surged in the
latest quarter, but much of the gains
were due to the recognition of sales
that occurred before the launch of
the latest versions of Windows and
Ofce, the company said Thursday.
The software companys net in-
come was $6.1 billion, or 72 cents
per share, in its scal third quarter,
which ended in March. That was
up from $5.1 billion, or 60 cents per
share, a year ago, and beat the fore-
cast of analysts polled by FactSet, at
68 cents.
Adjusting for deferred revenue and
a $733 million ne levied by the Eu-
ropean Commission, Microsoft Corp.
earned 65 cents per share.
Revenue was $20.5 billion, up 18
percent from a year ago and match-
ing analyst forecasts. Adjusted for de-
ferred revenue, it rose 8 percent.
The Redmond, Wash.-based com-
panys shares rose 66 cents, or 2.3
percent, to $29.45 in extended trad-
ing, after the release of the report.
Microsoft said Chief Financial Of-
cer Peter Klein is leaving at the
end of the scal year, in June. He has
been in his current role for four years
and at the company for 11 years. The
company plans to name a new CFO
from its nance team in the next few
weeks.
Microsofts Windows division post-
ed a 23 percent increase in revenue to
$5.7 billion, but adjusting for the rec-
ognition of deferred revenue related
to the launch of Windows 8, revenue
was at.
For Windows 7 PCs purchased
June 2 or later, Microsoft offered a
$15 upgrade to Windows 8. It wasnt
able to start recognizing the full val-
ue of the software licenses until these
offers were redeemed or expired. In
the latest quarter, Microsoft was able
to recognize $1.1 billion of such de-
ferred revenue.
Microsoft launched Windows 8 in
October, hoping to make PCs work
more like tablets. But the reception
has been mixed, and research rm
IDC said last week that Windows 8
was partly to blame for a record 14
percent drop in global PC shipments
in the January to March quarter, as
consumers found the new interface
daunting.
At the companys largest division,
Business, revenue rose 8 percent
from a year ago to $6.3 billion. The
increase was 5 percent adjusting for
upgrade offers for the new Ofce
suite.

WEST CHESTER, Pa. The de-
velopers of a planned 120-mile natu-
ral gas pipeline in eastern Pennsylva-
nia say the project is being suspended
indenitely.
The proposed Commonwealth
Pipeline would carry natural gas
from a deposit in the Marcellus Shale
in Lycoming County. It would travel
through Columbia, Montour, Nor-
thumberland, Schuylkill and Berks
counties on its way to Chester Coun-
ty.
The groups behind the project have
announced on their website that the
project is being suspended. No rea-
son is being given, but the group says
it will provide updates at a later time.
The pipeline was supported by three
major partners: Inergy Midstream
LP, UGI Energy Services Inc., and
WGL Holdings Inc.
The developers had said they
hoped to have the pipeline in service
by 2015.
Plans suspended for 120-mile gas pipeline in Pa.
