HARRISBURG Efforts to
privatize the sale of liquor and
wine in Pennsylvania encoun-
tered what could be a serious
setback Tuesday as the union
representing 3,500 employees of
Pennsylvanias state-owned li-
quor stores announced that they
have ratified a new labor con-
tract that runs through
mid-2015.
One union leader said the pact
requires any private companies
that take over all or any portion
of liquor and wine sales to hire
displaced state-store employees
and to adhere to contract provi-
sions covering salaries, health
insurance and pension benefits.
The state must advise pro-
spective operators that the con-
tract is binding in its entirety
upon themfor the duration of its
term, said Wendell W. Young
IV, president of Local 1776 of the
United Food and Commercial
Workers, which represents more
than 2,000 employees in eastern
and central Pennsylvania.
This, I think, really makes
any discussion of privatization
moot for several years, Young
said in a telephone interview.
The four-year contract with
two UFCWlocals, whichis retro-
active to July 1, 2011, when the
terms of the previous contract
were extended, provides pay
raises totaling more than 4 per-
cent.
Union members approved the
contract, 85 percent to 15 per-
cent, in regional meetings Sun-
day.
The vote came amid a renew-
ed effort by House Majority
Leader Mike Turzai to put a priv-
atization bill up for a House vote
before lawmakers adjourn for
their summer break in June.
A call seeking comment was
left with Turzais spokesman,
Steve Miskin.
Gov. Tom Corbett has said he
supports closing the more than
600 state-owned stores, but his
office had no immediate com-
ment.
State store union contract could trip up privatization
Four-year pact requires any
private companies to hire

With a temporary ban on bath
salts set to expire, U.S. Sen. Bob
Casey has renewed his effort for
a permanent federal law prohib-
iting the sale and possession of
the synthetic substance.
Ive beenfighting for a nation-
wide ban for this very risky and
very dangerous substance,
Casey said in a
telephone
news confer-
ence on Tues-
day. We did
pass a ban in
the Senate and
we need to
keep the provi-
sion in the final bill.
Casey, D-Scranton, is urging
Congress to keep his legislation
banning bath salts and its chem-
icals illegal in a U.S. Food and
Drugreauthorizingbill. The U.S.
House passed its own FDA bill
without the bath salts ban.
The worst thing we can do is
to lose this opportunity, Casey
noted.
He cited the recent attack in
Miami, Fla., in which a man al-
legedly under the influence of
bath salts seriously mauled an-
other mans face. He alsocitedlo-
cal incidents involving bath
salts.
I started working on this
more than a year ago, Casey
said about his legislation. In my
home town, a guy high on bath
salts broke into a monastery and
attacked a priest. In Cambria
County, a woman high on bath
salts set her houseonfire. InEast
Hanover Township, a man high
on bath salts damaged two cars
and a state police cruiser believ-
ing he was being chased by elec-
tricity.
Locally, West Pittston police
encountered two people under
the influence of bath salts stab-
bing walls with knives believing
there were 90 people living in-
side the walls. A young girl was
inside the apartment.
Wilkes-Barre police charged a
woman high on bath salts driv-
ing a vehicle recklessly with two
children inside.
Many states, including Penn-
sylvania, have banned the sale of
bath salts.
Casey said a federal perma-
nent law banning the sale and
possession of bath salts will give
authorities another enforcement
tool.
Once you put that substance
on the (Drug Enforcement Ad-
ministration) schedule of con-
trolled substances, it is a step
that leads to trouble for anyone
whois dealingor inpossessionof
it, Casey said.
A DEA ban on bath salts is set
to expire in April 2013.

WILKES-BARRE A White
Haven man who prosecutors say
assaulted a police officer was
sentenced Tuesday to five to 10
months in county prison.
Dustin Ochs, 27, of River
Street, was sentencedoncharges
of aggravated assault and resist-
ing arrest by county Judge Tina
Polachek Gartley.
Ochs also received 14 months
probation and 25 hours of com-
munity service.
According to court papers, on
June 11, 2011, police received a
report of an intoxicated man
walking along Route 309 in But-
ler Township.
When police encountered the
man, later identified as Ochs, he
told them he was walking home.
After speaking with Ochs, offi-
cers thought he might have been
involved in a motor vehicle crash
along Pardeesville Road.
Police observed numerous
cars along the roadway at what
appeared to be a party. Ochs told
police he was at the party.
Ochs said he had an argument
with his girlfriend at the resi-
dence, police said, and officers
told him they would give him a
ride home.
While in the vehicle, Ochs al-
legedly said to police, What if I
have a 3-inch blade shoved in my
pants?
Police stopped and tried to
search Ochs and handcuff him.
Police said Ochs pushed away
from the police cruiser and
swung at state police Trooper
Ryan Stefanick, hitting him in
the face.
Ochs was Tasered by another
trooper and handcuffed.
Court records say Stefanick re-
ceived five stitches above his
right eye to close a laceration.
Ochs pleaded guilty to the
charges in March. He was or-
dered Tuesday to pay $2,302 in
restitution and is to have no con-
tact with Stefanick.
He alsoreceived170days cred-
it for time already served in pris-
on.

Luzerne County could face a
cut of up to 10 percent in state
funding for several human ser-
vice programs but would have
more flexibility and control over
how the money is spent in a plan
under state consideration.
The County Commissioners
Association of Pennsylvania and
state Department of Public Wel-
fare announced their agreement
Tuesday for the Corbett adminis-
trations proposal to provide
county allotments in bulk block
grants. The state currently issues
the funds in separate categories
that must beusedfor specific pur-
poses.
Luzerne County received al-
most $23 million in the 2011-12
fiscal year to fund the impacted
programs, which provide servic-
es for the homeless, addicts, at-
risk youth and people with men-
tal healthandintellectual disabil-
ities, said county Acting Human
Services Director Mary Dysleski.
In announcing Tuesdays
agreement, Lt. Gov. Jim Cawley
said he and the governor support
block grants to transformthe re-
lationship betweenthe state and
local governments. Doug Hill,
head of the commissioners asso-
ciation, saidhis organizationsup-
ports the concept because coun-
ties would complete one audit
and plan for the entire allocation
instead of separate ones for each
category.
Blending programs also may
reduce red tape in servicing cli-
ents who require assistance from
multiple agencies and allow
counties to shift more funds to a
service inhighdemand, Hill said.
The commissioners associ-
ation does not support a 10 per-
cent funding cut envisioned in
the upcoming state budget, he
said. Administrative efficiencies
from the new approach may save
money in time, but nowhere near
the amount required to fill such a
gap, he said.
The block grant change and al-
location amount would take ef-
fect July1if the newbudget is ap-
proved on time.
Dysleski said some program
cuts will be necessary if funding
reductions total 10 percent, or
$2.3 million. The bulk of the
funding covers services that help
clients withmental healthandin-
tellectual disabilities to live with
family or independently. The
county administration will de-
cide how to tailor programs un-
der the newblockgrant approach
over time after seeking input
from workers, affected clients
and outside providers, she said.
Wyoming County officials also
will participate in discussions be-
cause the two counties jointly
provide drug-and-alcohol and
mental health and developmen-
tal services, she said.
We can continue right now to
dothings like we didlast year and
still have the benefit of unified re-
porting and money coming into
one source, Dysleski said.

WILKES-BARRE Move over
Paris. Another downtown restau-
rant hopes to allow customers to
lounge and dine at outdoor caf
tables.
Maers BBQowner Anita Burns
has asked Wilkes-Barre City
Council to allow her to use the
sidewalk in front of her South
MainStreet restaurant toprovide
outdoor seating for patrons.
Burns hopes to place four tables
in front of the eatery, where
guests could dine on the restau-
rants barbequed meat and sand-
wich fare.
City council will consider the
request at its Thursday meeting.
If approved, the restaurant would
join a growing list of eateries of-
feringoutdoor seating. Circles on
the Square and Euro Bistro have
outdoor seating on Public
Square, Rodanos has tables just
off the square in the courtyard of
the Frontier Communications
building and Mulligans has seat-
ing behind the pub in the Mid-
town Village courtyard.
The seating at Maers BBQ
wouldbe locatedonprivate prop-
erty but within the citys right-of-
way. The restaurant has obtained
liability insurance and satisfied
all city requirements for having
outdoor seating, City Adminis-
trator Marie McCormick said.
Also on Thursday, council will
vote to authorize the city to pur-
chasetwovehicles for thecityDe-
partment of PublicWorks, mostly
with local share assessment
grants from state gaming reve-
nue.
If approved, the city will pur-
chase a Case skid steer loader
from Medico Industries for
$44,926, with $33,197 coming
fromastategaminggrant andthe
remainder coming fromthe citys
liquid fuels fund. It will also pur-
chase a recycling packer truck
fromTriple Cities Mack for $116,
803, all of which is funded by a
gaming grant.
Council will also vote on the
purchase of a pavilion for Coal
Street Park from George Ely As-
sociates for approximately
$20,000.
The vehicles and pavilion
would be purchased through the
state cooperative purchasing, or
COSTARS, program.

DALLASTWP. PVRPartners
will not pay for water testing at
sites where a contractor of the
company spilled drilling mud
within the township, supervisors
announced Tuesday.
JeffreyMalak, attorneyforPVR
Partners, formerly Chief Gather-
ing LLC, stated in a letter the
company would not provide wa-
ter testing for property owners in
the vicinity of two drilling mud
spills that occurred near Kunkle-
Alderson and Upper Demunds
roads in early May.
Supervisor Bill Grant, who
livesonHildebrandt Roadandplans
totest his ownwater, saidthe town-
ship will provide interested resi-
dents with information about water
testing.
Supervisor Liz Martin said she
spoke to George Turner, a profes-
sional geologist, who estimated the
tests required for the chemicals in-
volved in the spills would cost be-
tween $450 and $500 per sample.
Martin said the boring for the
pipeline should be done soon, and
thosekindsof issuesarenot likelyto
occur again.
Supervisors also addressed resi-
dents concerns about PVR Part-
ners contractor workingat thepipe-
line work site after hours.
Grant said he received one com-
plaint and another official received
three complaints about the pipeline
contractor working beyond normal
hours of operation last Sunday.
Malak wrote that the companys
work hours are 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. six
days a week, but because of dead-
lines, some work during off-hours
has been necessary.
Grant said he understands the
company will be finishing up the
work soon and will not be working
outof normal operatinghoursagain.
PVR Partners is in the process of
building a 30-mile pipeline to flow
natural gasfromwellsinSusquehan-
na County to the Transco pipeline,
located near the Dallas School Dis-
trict campus.
Thecompanywill alsobuildagas
metering facility off Hildebrandt
Road.
In other business, police Chief
Robert Jolley addressed safety con-
cerns about the upcoming Wilkes-
Barre Triathlon that runs through
Dallas and Harveys Lake boroughs
and Dallas, Jackson, Lehman and
Noxen townships.
He said the race directors should
increaseits $1millioninsurancepol-
icy andsuggestedthe route be reex-
amined, as the traffic concerns on
stateRoute309, nearDemundsCor-
ners andintheFernbrooksectionof
the township all pose increased
risks.
Martin said it may be too late to
revamp the course for the Aug. 15
race day, but suggested the police
department and race organizers
work together to increase safety at
next years event.

HARRISBURG After sever-
al years of stalled efforts, state
lawmakers are finalizing legisla-
tion to borrow billions of dollars
to pay off an unemployment
compensation debt owed by
businesses to the federal govern-
ment left over from the huge
wave of jobs lost in the reces-
sion.
Under the Republican-penned
bill, passed by the Senate on
Tuesday, businesses would still
pay off the debt, but at a lower
interest rate available from the
private market. Still, the massive
amount of the borrowing al-
lowed under the bill $4.5 bil-
lion could possibly become
one of the largest single debt-is-
suances in the states history, if
not the largest.
The portion of the bill that
drew opposition from Demo-
crats and labor unions includes
changes to eligibility designed
to save hundreds of millions of
dollars a year. One key change,
sought by the administration of
Gov. Tom Corbett, would tight-
en a provision that currently al-
lows jobless benefits for nearly
50,000 people a year who make
more than half of their annual
income in the space of several
months.
The bill was expected to get
speedy approval today from the
GOP-controlled House before it
goes to the desk of Corbett for
his signature.
The Senate vote, 29-19, was
largely along partisan lines, with
one Republican opposing it and
two Democrats supporting it.
Business groups also support it.

The states top elected official recently explained his
rationale for proposing a $1.7 billion tax break for a
planned Shell Oil Co. refinery in western Pennsylvania. The 25-year tax
credit requires legislative approval and would be added to other

being wooed to the natural gas-rich regions of West Virginia and Ohio.
Coalition works to keep
teen drivers safe all year
M
emorial Day marked the beginning of
the 100 deadliest days for teen driv-
ers on our nations roadways. You
might hear about this topic often in the
next few months since teen drivers are at
their most vulnerable, but safe teen driv-
ing is a year-round issue.
I lead the Pennsylvania Teen Safe Driv-
ing Coalition and am grateful to The All-
state Foundation and the National Safety
Council for establishing our coalition and
others like it in nine states.
We work to raise awareness by involving
parents, educators, community members
and teens in our year-round initiatives.
Together, we can curb injuries and fatal-
ities associated with crashes involving teen
drivers, not only over the summer but
every day.
The next 100 days are a great time for
parents to talk with their teens about safe
driving.
I encourage parents to monitor their
teens driving habits. Be mindful of com-
mon crash factors such as driving at night,
using a cellphone while driving and carry-
ing passengers.
By doing so, parents might prevent their
child or someone else from becoming a
statistic.

STATE SEN. Charles D.
Lemmond Jr. and Ben Fran-
klin share a birthday: Jan. 17.
But these two great Penn-
sylvania statesmen shared
more in common. Although
separated by almost 250
years, their individual abilities to reach across
the aisle to get the job done for the betterment
of all became, in their own times, legendary.
Franklin was more than the compromiser.
He was a pragmatist. He realized even before
the United States became a country that differ-
ing positions should be aired thoughtfully and
clearly. He knew that good people represent-
ing various opinions could disagree. However,
when the inevitable demand for urgent collec-
tive action arose, Franklin was there to bring
people together.
Among Franklins many memorable prag-
matic admonitions was to remind his fellow
signers of the Declaration of Independence
that we must now hang together or we will
most assuredly hang separately. In the tumul-
tuous years that surrounded the American
Revolution, the Constitutional Convention and
the inventible negotiations the young country
faced as it put its fiscal house in order and
defended its shores, Franklin brought people
together.
Franklin was persuasive and he was a gen-
tleman. His many years in France representing
the fledgling United States convinced the
French to stand by America and, by so doing,
ensured our success during the Revolution
and beyond. His sophistication under pressure
was revered by many.
Charlie Lemmond was a gentleman, too.
His efforts to bring people together on behalf
of the entire commonwealth were legendary.
As a Republican, he held significant status
within the party. However, he did not let his
political stripes overshadow his belief in the
constant effort to do the right thing regardless
of party politics. Often this involved compro-
mise, but more important, it involved clear
thinking and careful analysis of the art of the
possible or what could and could not be
done. If half a loaf is better than none, Sen.
Lemmond will be remembered for bringing
home at least two-thirds of the bread to the
people of Pennsylvania.
Sen. Lemmond was a statewide thinker and
acted accordingly. During the budget battle in
Gov. Robert Caseys second term, he cast the
26th vote that passed the Democratic gover-
nors budget. As it turned out, it was a fortui-
tous and wise decision as the state headed
into a period of significant prosperity in the
latter years of the Casey administration and
throughout Gov. Tom Ridges years.
Lemmond was a modest man who had no
right to be so. Working with partners across
the political aisle, such as former Democratic
state Rep. Kevin Blaum, and, with the assist-
ance of his then own chief of staff, Lisa Baker,
and Pat Solano, Sen. Lemmond was able to
obtain the necessary support to complete the
arena project in Wilkes-Barre Township. The
arena eventually became the hub of a bustling
retail center.
With leaders of both parties, Lemmond
worked to secure support for projects outside
his district such as the Hazleton Beltway. He
and fellow senators pulled together to support
projects in communities and at colleges and
universities across the area, including Miser-
icordia University.
As a member of the Pennsylvania Higher
Education Assistance Agency board, Sen.
Lemmond worked tirelessly to secure college
aid for students. He firmly believed the state
should support higher education and should
do so primarily through the allocation of funds
to students who are financially deserving and
academically able. He carried that belief for-
ward as vice chairman of the PHEAA board.
For these efforts and others, he was awarded
the Benjamin Franklin Medal for Distin-
guished Achievement on Behalf of Higher
Education from the Association of Independ-
ent Colleges and Universities in 2006.
As you will recall, Franklin thought highly of
a college education, too. He founded the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania. Incidentally, Sen.
Lemmond and Dr. Franklin both graduated
from Harvard. Our former statesman for the
20th Senatorial District received his law de-
gree from the university that Dr. Franklin
founded.
Today, there are fewer statesmen of Sen.
Lemmonds caliber. People such as Ben Fran-
klin and Charlie Lemmond are scarce com-
modities in our hyper-politicized environment.
It is unfortunate for those who know some-
thing about U.S. history because they under-
stand that far more progress is made through
thoughtful compromise than through inordi-
nate political polarization.
We all will miss Sen. Lemmond a scholar,
a gentleman and, in the spirit of Ben Franklin,
a great statesman. Charlie Lemmond worked
with others to do what was right and to bring
people together for the betterment of all.
Michael A. MacDowell is president of Misericordia
University in Dallas Township. The university honor-
ed the Lemmond family in 2008 by dedicating its
theater, Lemmond Theater in Walsh Hall, in their
honor.
Lemmond and Franklin shared the best of qualities

S THE LEGAL max-
im goes, The act is
not criminal unless
the mind is criminal.
And that sentiment appears to
be what sealed Jane Ories fate
when Allegheny County Com-
mon Pleas Judge Jeffrey Man-
ning sentenced the former
powerful state senator Monday
to a state prison termfor politi-
cal corruption.
Orie, 50, a Republican from
McCandless, was convicted in
March of 14 counts, five of
them felonies. She used mem-
bers of her staff topolitic onthe
public dime. Two sisters, in-
cluding state Supreme Court
Justice JoanOrie Melvin, await
trial on similar charges.
But far worse, Jane Orie also
was convict-
ed of tamper-
ing with evi-
dence and in-
troducing
forged docu-
ments at
trial. As usu-
ally is the
case, the attempted cover-up
was worse than the original
crime.
Appropriately, Manning
showed little mercy in sentenc-
ing Orie to 2 to 10 years in
state prison. That 2-year min-
imum precludes Orie from
serving her time in a county
lockup.

P
LENTY OF political
hay will be made over
the revelation that a
supposed white su-
premacist landed a committee-
manpost for theLuzerneCoun-
ty Republican Party, by virtue
of his lone, write-in vote.
No candidate had sought the
unpaid position, leaving it easy
pickings in the primary elec-
tion for Steve Smith, 41, a Pitt-
ston resident and past director
of an outfit known as the Keys-
tone State Skinheads. The hate
group, formed more than a dec-
ade ago, consists of an un-
known number of bald bigots
who in recent years reportedly
have chosen to operate under-
ground, which seems a fitting
place for them.
Certain Democrats in Penn-
sylvania have seized on the em-
barrassing situation to be-
smirch their GOP rivals.
Smith contends he made
mistakes in his past and
doesnt understand why people
are making a fuss over his new
and limited party role. The
countys Republican leader-
ship, meanwhile, presumably
wants to sever all ties with
Smith but so far cant find a le-
gally acceptable justification
within its bylaws to boot him
out.
In an effort to provide some
perspective to an emotionally
charged matter, we offer two
questions.
Can the countys Demo-
cratic Party membership sin-
cerely claim that there are no
racists within the ranks? We
doubt it. Nationally, Barack
Obamas run for the presidency
in 2008 unleashed all kinds of
crude and ugly comments, sen-
timents sometimes expressed
by members of his own party;
and the vitriol surrounding
2012s campaign is shaping up
to be worse.
Shouldthe boneheadedbe-
liefs of a few people tarnish the
image of an entire county? We
dont think so. Prejudices re-
main far too prevalent in Lu-
zerne Countys communities;
thats largely a factor of low
education levels. But lots of ar-
ea residents are striving for-
mally and informally to make
this region a more welcoming
and supportive place for people
of all faiths and races.
Witness, for example, theHa-
zleton Integration Project, an
effort spearheaded by Tampa
Bay Rays Manager Joe Maddon
to encourage acceptance in his
hometown of a wave of Latino
and other newcomers. Apair of
articles inTheTimes Leader on
Sunday and Monday, written
by staff writer Steve Mocarsky
outlined the Hazleton-area pro-
ject as well as an international
festival organized by a Moun-
tain Top church to help pro-
mote diversity.
The recent dustup regarding
the GOPs predicament is only
the latest evidence that old no-
tions of race and place can no
longer apply here. Not if Lu-
zerne County intends to thrive.

N E W S
Monday. Sandusky is fighting
dozens of criminal charges that
he abused 10 boys over a 15-year
period.
In the first questioning of 40
prospective jurors, about half
said they or immediate family
members worked at Penn State
or were university retirees. One
woman rented apartments to col-
legestudents. Four knewSandus-
ky, a former Penn State assistant
football coach. Two knew his
wife.
Sanduskys lawyer won the
right to have jurors chosen from
the local community, and prose-
cutors had concerns that Centre
County might prove to be nearly
synonymous with Penn State.
Sandusky had helped build the
football teams reputationas a de-
fensive powerhouse known as Li-
nebacker U, his arrest toppled
Joe Paterno fromthe head coach-
ing position just months before
his death from cancer and prose-
cutors say some of the attacks on
children occurred inside univer-
sity showers.
One of the first jurors to be
seated wasnt just a season tick-
etholder since the1970s: She said
John McQueary a possible
trial witness and the father of a
key witness once worked with
her husband.
When Sanduskys lawyer
sought to have her removed for
cause, Judge John Cleland sig-
naled he would need more
grounds.
Were in Centre County. Were
in rural Pennsylvania, the judge
said, noting that such connec-
tions cant be avoided.
Sandusky attorney Joe Amen-
dola opted not to use one of his
eight challenges, and she joined
the panel. Amendola did strike
parents with children of roughly
junior high school age, similar to
the ages for the boys prosecutors
say Sandusky abused.
Other jurors selected included
a 24-year-old man with plans to
attend an auto technician school,
a mother of two who works in re-
tail, aretiredschool bus driver, an
engineer with no Penn State ties
and a property management firm
employee.
All the jurors will have to say
under oath they can be impartial.
Prospective jurors also learned
that Paternos wife and son were
among the potential defense wit-
nesses, about which a family
spokesman declined to com-
ment. Members of Sanduskys
family also were on a list shown
to the prospective jurors, along
with assistant coach Mike
McQueary and his father.
Mike McQueary, on leave from
the team, has said he saw Sand-
uskynakedinateamshower with
a young boy more than a decade
ago and reported it to Paterno.
Mike McQueary is also on the
prosecutions list, along with
young men who have accused
Sandusky of abusing them.
Sandusky, 68, faces potential
penalties that could result in an
effective life prison sentence. He
has maintainedhis innocence, ac-
knowledging he showered with
boys but saying he never molest-
edthem. His wife, Dottie Sandus-
ky, has said he is innocent and his
accusers are making up their sto-
ries.
Among those potential jurors
who were struck from the pool
were a nurse who said people
make up stories all the time
prosecutors used a challenge for
her and a man who had volun-
teered for the charity Sandusky
founded, The Second Mile. Also
struck were a mother of 10 who
said she has made up her mind, a
Penn State fan and township
manager whosaidnews coverage
of the case has been destructive
to her community, a woman who
taught Sanduskys son in third
grade before the Sanduskys
adopted himand a 1994 alumnus
who knows the Sanduskys.
The judge told the more than
220 potential jurors he would not
sequester them, meaning they
can spend nights at home during
the trial.
While about a dozen TV news
trucks and more than 50 report-
ers waited outside the cour-
thouse for updates, the judge
urged members of the jury pool
to avoid news accounts or social
media postings.
No one in the world will know
as much about this trial as the
people sitting in the jury box, he
told them.
Sandusky attended jury selec-
tion and laughed at some of the
judges humorous remarks to po-
tential jurors. But whenthe judge
told the pool the nature of the
charge, Sandusky put his head
down.
More than 600 summonses
were sent out to residents in Cen-
tre County, the home of Penn
State Universitys main campus.
The judge addressed the pro-
spective jurors in a somber,
packed courtroom. The prospec-
tive panelists were to be taken in
groups of 40 for more questions
and, ultimately to face one-on-
one questioning in a third phase,
for those whowere not dismissed
beforehand. The jurors who were
selectedwere allowedtoleave for
the day.

Barrett finallyconcededlatein
the night. Earlier, a spokesman
said the campaign was not con-
ceding, citing ongoing voting in
Milwaukee, Madison and Rac-
ine.
We feel very confident when
those come in, TomBarrett is go-
ing to win, Phil Walzak said.
Democrats and organized la-
bor spent millions to oust Walk-
er, but found themselves hope-
lessly outspent by Republicans
from across the country who do-
nated record-setting sums to
Walker. Republicans hope the
victory carries over into Novem-
ber and that their get-out-the-
voteeffort canhelpMitt Romney
become the first GOP nominee
to carry the state since Ronald
Reagan in1984.
Therecall wasarematchof the
2010 governors race. Through-
out the campaign, Walker main-
tained his policies set the state
on the right economic track. De-
feat, he said, would keep other
politicians from undertaking
such bold moves in the future.
Were headed in the right di-
rection, Walker said many
times. Were turning things
around. WeremovingWisconsin
forward.
Barrett repeatedly accused
Walker of neglectingtheneeds of
the state in the interests of fur-
thering his own political career
by making Wisconsin the tea
party capital of the country. He
said Walker had instigated a po-
litical civil war in Wisconsin that
couldbequelledonlybyachange
in leadership.
I will end this civil war, Bar-
rett promised in a debate. That
is something the people of this
state want.
Walker ascended into the na-
tional spotlight last year whenhe
surprised the state and unveiled
plans to plug a $3.6 billion bud-
get shortfall in part by taking
away the union rights of most
public workers and requiring
themtopaymorefor their health
insurance and pension benefits.
It was one of his first moves inof-
fice.
Democrats and labor leaders
saw it as a political tactic de-
signedtogut the power of his po-
litical opposition. State Senate
Democrats left Wisconsin for
three weeks ina sort of filibuster,
as tens of thousands of teachers,
state workers and others rallied
at the Capitol in protest.
But the tea-party supported
fiscal conservative remained
steadfast: Walker believed his
plan would help him control the
state budget, and his opponents
could not stop Republicans who
control the state Legislature
fromapproving his plans.
Walker went on to sign into
law several other measures that
fueledcalls for a recall, including
repealing a law giving discrimi-
nation victims more ways to sue
for damages, making deep cuts
topublic schools andhigher edu-
cation, and requiring voters to
show photo identification at the
polls.
Both sides mobilized thou-
sands of people and millions of
dollars to influence voters,
whom polls showed were more
divided than ever. Signs calling
for Walkers removal and those

WASHINGTON (AP) Mitt
Romney won the New Mexico
Republican presidential
primary, adding to a delegate
total that already exceeds the
number needed to win the
nomination.
Romney also won presidential
primaries Tuesday in New
Jersey and South Dakota. Two
more states, Montana and
California, were also having
presidential primaries
Tuesday.
A total of 264 delegates were
at stake in Tuesdays contests,
and Romney had a chance to
win them all. Romney has
1,266 delegates. He needed
1,144 to win the nomination.
With the primary season
winding down, Romney is
already in general election
mode. He will take on
Democrat Barack Obama in
the fall.
After Tuesday, only one
Republican presidential
primary remains, in Utah on
June 26.
had been the subject of threats.
Kadluboski argued Leighton had
committed fraud and misused
taxpayer money.
Henry appeared at the hearing
on behalf of Leighton, who opted
not to attend.
Henry arguedthe citys charter
vests authority withthe mayor to
make any expenditure, unless
the expense exceeds $20,000. In
that case, the mayor must seek
approval of council.
Henry said the alarm system
clearly fell below that threshold,
so there was no violation of the
charter. He argued Carmody did
not have authority to override
the mayors decision because
state lawsays a judge cannot sub-
stitute his or her judgment for
that of an elected official.
City resident Linda Urban,
who appeared with Kadluboski,
argued the charter gives Leight-
on the right to spend money only
for city property. The alarm
systems were installed in Leight-
ons and Murphys personal
homes, whicharenot cityproper-
ty.
He arbitrarily took out
$15,000 and provided himself
and Murphy a security system,
Urban said. He increased the
value of their properties at our
expense.
Henry saidnothinginthe char-
ter limits spending to city prop-
erty. If Kadluboski, Urban or any
other taxpayer does not like the
mayors decisions, their remedy
is to vote himout of office, Henry
said.
This is the way things are
done in Wilkes-Barre. Mr. Kadlu-
boski may not like it, but the rem-
edy is to vote for somebody else.
Carmody agreed with the
citys position, saying the case in-
volved a matter of separation of
power between the judiciary and
executive and legislative branch-
es.
Carmody saidit was Kadlubos-
kis burden to prove the expense
was illegal. Absent that, he had
no authority to override the may-
ors decision.
Its not for the court to second
guess electedofficials, Carmody
said.
Speaking after the hearing, Ka-
dluboski said he will appeal Car-
modys decision to Luzerne
County Court.
I didnt expect to win here.
Hopefully, on appeal we will be
successful, he said.

CLARK VAN ORDEN/THE TIMES LEADER
Bob Kadluboski arrives Tuesday for a hearing regarding Wilkes-
Barre Mayor Tom Leighton installing a home security system.
Jeanine Kuna said. I witnessed
the whole thing. Whatever Hag-
gertyhas tosayabout the assault,
my husband was stabbed. Thats
why Mr. Dade was charged with
aggravated assault.
Hearing on Monday
Duryea Police Chief Nicholas
Lohman declined comment on
Tuesday, citing the preliminary
hearing for Dade scheduled on
Monday.
At a court hearing in April,
Haggerty believed a deal could
have been worked out by lower-
ing the simple assault charge
against Dade to a summary dis-
orderly conduct.
He said he was astonished to
find out police filed the felony
aggravated assault charge
against Dade and agreed to a
deal allowing Kuna to plead
guilty to a third-degree simple
assault for which he was fined
$200, according to court re-
cords.
Im not saying anything that
police are biased, but the way
this case is being handled
screams bias, Haggerty said.
Kuna gets a M3 (simple as-
sault) deal and police jack up the
charge on the black guy.
Police upgraded the charge
with an amended criminal com-
plaint after re-interviewing Ku-
na and his wife and after alleged-
lyfindinga boxcutter withblood
near Kunas house on March 19.
Dade was questioned once by
police the night of the alleged
fight.
Haggerty said the Kunas gave
different accounts of what tran-
spired, stating Jeanine Kuna ini-
tially told police her husband
went after them and later say-
ing her husband was confronted
by Dade in front of their house.
She totally changed her story
three days later, Haggerty said.
Police did everything profes-
sional that night, Jeanine Kuna
said. My husband had wounds
all over his back.
Police said Kuna was treated
at Geisinger Community Medi-
cal Center in Scranton.
Questions raised
Haggerty questioned why po-
lice did not transport Kuna to a
hospital for a blood-alcohol test
after officers said in the criminal
complaint it appeared Kuna was
intoxicated after operating a mo-
torcycle.
He also questioned why Kuna
was not charged with yelling
threatening racial slurs at Dade
in front of officers.
This is sowrongwhat theyare
doing here, Haggerty said.

or the civil suit until more infor-
mation regarding the case is de-
veloped.
Sandusky, a former assistant
football coachfor PennState Uni-
versity, is ontrial inCentre Coun-
ty Court on charges he sexually
abused10 boys he met thoughhis
association with The Second
Mile, a charity Sandusky formed
to help underprivileged youths.
Federal Insurance in Decem-
ber askeda federal judge torule it
did not have to defend or pay
damages that might be awarded
against Sandusky in a civil suit
that was filed in Philadelphia
County Court by one of his al-
leged victims, his criminal case
or any other civil suit that may be
filed in the future.
The company argued it would
be against public policy to re-
quire it to pay damages against
Sandusky. It cited numerous
cases in Pennsylvania in which
courts have held a person who
commits an intentional act
should not be allowed to shield
himself or herself from liability
through an insurance contract.
Kane agreed, saying there is a
strong public policy interest
against allowing a perpetrator
to insure against the consequenc-
es of his own intentional wrong-
doing.
Such a contract would allow
an insured to shift the conse-
quences of intentional, reprehen-
sible conduct to an insurance
company, thereby abdicating per-
sonal responsibility, Kane said.
Kane said it was far less clear
whether the insurance company
had a duty to defend Sandusky.
The judge said she was unable to
render an opinion at this point
because she did not have enough
facts about the civil and criminal
cases.
Kane said among the issues
she must consider in the civil
case is whether Sandusky sought
to purchase the insurance policy,
and whether he did so knowing
that criminal charges were immi-
nent.
That information is not yet
available because attorneys in
the civil case have not yet com-
pleted pre-trial gathering of evi-
dence.

He was the ultimate person,
said Pat Solano, longtime Re-

Leo Vergnetti, owner of
Wings Bar and Restaurant at
the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton In-

mond was simply the best.
Everybody loved Charlie
Lemmond, he said. He was a
statesman and a true gentle-
man. People from Honesdale to
Hazleton would say the same.
U.S. Rep. Tom Marino, R-Ly-

mond the salt of the earth.
Like a million other people, I
will miss him, Marinosaid. He
was a humble man who we all
should strive to be like.
Luzerne County Court of
CommonPleas Judge Tina Pola-
chek Gartley said Lemmond of-
fered her advice when she was
elected to the bench.
He was wonderful, she said.
He gave me his support and he
helped me adjust to being a
judge. He was a true gentleman
a statesman.
Luzerne County District At-
torney Stefanie Salavantis
called Lemmond an amazing
man.
Everybody looked up to
him, she said. He was a great
mentor a role model for all of
Luzerne County.
Frank Golden, past GOP
chairmaninWayne County, said
Lemmondwas the most honor-
able political figure I ever met.
Bill Kelly, president of WVIA-
TV, Channel 44, said Lemmond
was a dear and special friend.
He exemplified the absolute
best of Luzerne County, Kelly
said. Andwhenyouthinkabout

NEW YORK A mediator
was trying to settle a labor dis-
pute at Belmont Park that threat-
ens to scratch Ill Have Anothers
chance of winning thoroughbred
racings first Triple Crown in
more than 30 years.
As Gov. Andrew Cuomo urged
bothsides toreachagreement, an
official with the union represent-
ing maintenance and starting
gate workers at the New York
racetrack
said he
hadnt heard
of any pro-
gress as the
mediator
continued to
meet Tues-
day afternoon with the NewYork
Racing Association and union
leaders.
About 150 union members at
NYRAs Belmont, Aqueduct and
Saratoga tracks have been work-
ing without a contract since Feb-
ruary 2011, a year after the previ-
ous contract was givena one-year
extension. The workers last
month authorized a strike to be-
gin Friday, a day before the run-
ningof theBelmont Stakes, thefi-
nal jewel in the Triple Crown. Ill
Have Another is trying become
the first horse to win the Triple
Crown since Affirmed in 1978.
Vincent McElroen, financial
secretary for Local 3 of the Inter-
national Brotherhood of Electri-
cal Workers, denied that the
union waited until the week be-
foretheBelmont Stakes tothreat-
en a labor action.
Weve beentryingtoget a deal
for two years now, he said from
the union locals headquarters in
Queens. The workers are just
completely frustrated. No ones
looking to disrupt the Belmont
Stakes.
Cuomo said his administration
has beenincontact withbothNY-
RA and the unions.
It is simply unacceptable that
a two-year-long labor dispute
wouldimperil this special event,
he said. We have urged both to
resolve this dispute amicably.
NYRA recently touched by
scandals, government investiga-
tions and last months firing of its
president andthe states takeover
of its board called the unions
strike threat very troubling be-
cause it could disrupt a race ex-
pected to draw about 100,000 to
thetrack, plus aworldwidetelevi-
sion audience in the millions.

WILKES-BARRE TWP. A
few raised fists came out of the
windows of the departing Wyom-
ing Valley West bus, banging on
the side in celebration.
That was as demonstrative as
the Spartans got Tuesday. The
teams15thstraight winwas busi-
ness as usual after the final out.
That it came in the state tourna-
ment was simply a bonus.
A calm and collected Spartans
squad cruised to a 9-2 win over
Penn Manor in the first round of
the PIAAClass 4Atournament at
Kings Colleges Betzler com-
plex. Tommy Alexander threw a
complete-game two-hitter and
struck out 13 while Joe Pechulis
hit two doubles and drove in
three runs.
Getting his
third consecu-
tive start in the
postseason,
Alexander re-
tired the final 12
batters he faced.
After the Come-
ts tied the game at 2 with a triple
in the top of the second, Alexan-
der didnt allow another hit and
permittedjust one base-runner in
the last five innings.
That was more than enough to
send the Spartans past the Dis-
trict 3 runner-up and into Thurs-
days quarterfinal round against
Hatboro-Horsham, the thirdseed
out of District 1. The Hatters
knocked off D11 champion Naza-
reth in their first-round game.

Bill OBrien came out of the spring with
four or five locks on each side of the ball.
Players that he and his staff already had
written into starting spots for 2012.
On Friday, the Penn State coach added
to that list by naming Matt McGloin his
starting quarterback. On Tuesday morn-
ing, he tipped his hand more, releasing a
summer depth chart for the new-look Nit-
tany Lions.
With two months left until the start of
preseason camp, Penn State has at least
four position battles left to wage, with cor-
nerback, middle linebacker and left guard
being the main points of contention. A
starting job in a three-receiver set is also
still up for grabs.
A few spots will likely be see a split in
playing time. That looks to be the case at
middle linebacker, where juniors Glenn
Carson and Khairi Fortt are both listed as
potential starters.

PHILADELPHIA Elian
Herrera hit a two-run double
off winless Cliff Lee in the
eighth inning and the Los
Angeles Dodgers beat the
Philadelphia Phillies 2-1 on
Tuesday night.
Lee (0-3) took a two-hitter
into the eighth and was a strike
away from getting out of trou-
ble before Herrera hit a 2-2
pitch off the left-field wall to
put the Dodgers ahead.
Chad Billingsley (3-4) al-
lowed one run and six hits in
seven innings. Josh Lindblom
worked the eighth and Kenley
Jansen finished for his eighth
save in 11 tries.
Lee gave up two runs and six
hits in 7 2-3 innings, striking
out a season-high 12.
Braves 11, Marlins 0
MIAMI Dan Uggla hit
two homers in his first game at
Marlins Park, including a tape-
measure blow off the home-run
sculpture, and Tim Hudson
pitched a five-hitter for his 13th
career shutout to help the
Atlanta Braves beat Miami.
Pirates 8, Reds 4
CINCINNATI Clint
Barmes had three hits and
drove in three runs on Tuesday
night, and the Pittsburgh Pi-
rates extended their home-run
tear by hitting three more in a
victory over the Cincinnati
Reds.
Neil Walker hit a two-run
homer, and Casey McGehee
and Alex Presley had solo
shots, giving the Pirates seven
homers in their last two games.
Cubs 10, Brewers 0
MILWAUKEE Ryan
Dempster earned his first win
since last August, throwing
seven innings of three-hit ball
as the Chicago Cubs beat the
Milwaukee Brewers.
Coming into Tuesdays
game, Dempster (1-3) had
gone 18 straight starts without
a victory a streak dating to
Aug. 16 of last season. Demp-
ster broke his winless streak in
dominant fashion, not allowing
a baserunner until Cody Ran-
som singled to lead off the
sixth.
Alfonso Soriano hit a three-
run home run, Jeff Baker add-
ed a two-run shot and Bryan
LaHair hit a solo homer for the
Cubs, who snapped an 11-game
road losing streak. Chicagos
road slide matched a franchise
record set in 1954.
Nationals 7, Mets 6
WASHINGTON Rookie
Bryce Harper hit a game-win-
ning single with two outs in
the 12th inning to give the
Washington Nationals a victory
over the New York Mets .

against the Los Angeles Dod-
gerson Tuesday in Philadel-
phia. Los Angeles won 2-1.
NEW YORK Russell Mar-
tin hit a grand slam to put a
stop to the Yankees struggles
with the bases loaded and
Andy Pettitte was dominant
again at home, leading New
York to a 7-0 victory over the
Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday
night.
Nick Swisher hit an RBI
double after Raul Ibanez was
walked intentionally and the
Yankees treated Rays starter
James Shields to another drub-
bing in the Bronx. Pettitte (3-2)
pitched two-hit ball for 7 1-3
innings, striking out 10 in New
Yorks ninth win in 12 games.
Shields (6-4) was sabotaged
early by the Rays ever-shifting
defense as New York scored
two unearned runs in the first
thanks to an error by shortstop
Elliot Johnson. The Rays made
three errors in the game.
Indians 4, Tigers 2
DETROIT (AP) Ubaldo
Jimenez pitched impressively
into the seventh inning and the
Cleveland Indians hit three
run-scoring triples off rookie
Drew Smyly in a 4-2 victory
over the Detroit Tigers on
Tuesday night.
Jimenez (6-4) allowed a run
and five hits in 6 2-3 innings,
striking out four and walking
only one. The right-hander
entered the game with 42
walks in 56 innings this year.
Three relievers finished for
Cleveland. Chris Perez allowed
a run in the ninth but held on
for his 18th save in 19 chances.
Royals 1, Twins 0
KANSAS CITY, Mo.
Bruce Chen outdueled Francis-
co Liriano to make a lone run
scored in the second inning
stand up, giving the Kansas
City Royals a victory over the
Minnesota Twins.
Chen (5-5) allowed four hits
without a walk to win for the
fifth time in six starts. The
34-year-old left-hander relied
on some veteran guile to strike
out five without allowing a
runner past second.
Orioles 8, Red Sox 6
BOSTON Ronny Paulino
ended a hitless night with an
RBI single in the 10th inning to
drive in the go-ahead run and
the Baltimore Orioles hung on
for a win over the Boston Red
Sox.
The Orioles recovered from
Jim Johnsons first blown save
opportunity of the season when
Jarrod Saltalammachia hit a
two-run homer with two outs
in the bottom of the ninth to tie
it 6-all and force extra innings.
Blue Jays 9, White Sox 5
CHICAGO Colby Rasmus
went 5 for 5 with a homer to
help Ricky Romero earn his
seventh win as the Toronto
Blue Jays beat the Chicago
White Sox.
Rasmus and David Cooper
hit two-run homers in the fifth
off Phil Humber and both fin-
ished with three RBIs in Toron-
tos 13-hit attack.
Romero (7-1) pitched seven-
plus innings, allowing six hits
and five runs three earned.
He gave up an unearned run in
the first, a two-run homer to
A.J. Pierzynski in the seventh
after Toronto had built a 7-1
lead, and then a solo shot to
Adam Dunn in the eighth be-
fore he was replaced by Francis-
co Cordero.

DURHAM, N.C. Veteran first
baseman Russell Branyan, who
was signedby the Yankees inFeb-
ruary and has spent most of the
season on the disabled list,
mashed a pair of three-run home
runs to propel Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre to a 12-8 victory over Dur-
ham at Durham Bulls Athletic
Park.
Despite D.J. Mitchells worst
outing of the season allowing
eight runs and 12 hits in 5
2
3 in-
nings, the right-hander still
picked up his fifth win of the sea-
son.
The scored the first six runs of

by run-scoring hits from Jack
Cust, Ronnier Mustelier and Ra-
miro Pena.
Durham got to Mitchell in the
bottom of the third scoring three
and cutting the lead in half. The
Bulls cut the deficit to 6-5 plating
two more in the bottom of the
fifth.
Thats when Branyan took
over.
In the top of the sixth, he took
Romulo Sanchez deep over the
right-center field wall for his first
three-runblast toput theYankees
ahead 9-5.
Henry Wrigley added a three-
run homer in the bottom of the
sixth for the Bulls to again trim
the lead to one at 9-8. That
spelled the end of the night for
Mitchell (5-2), who had two outs
in the inning before allowing the
longball.
After a scoreless seventh, Bra-
nyan struck again in the eighth.
This time he went the opposite
way off right-handed pitcher
Ryan Reid for his second three-
run shot of the night to give the
Yankees insurance runs with a
12-8 lead.
The Bulls went downquietly in
the seventh, eighth and ninth as

batters of the game.

Mustelier, Pena and Colin Curtis
all had two-hit games for the Yan-
kees.

The time and site have yet to
be announced, but the game will
start early in the afternoon, as
Wyoming Valley West has gradu-
ation ceremonies Thursday eve-
ning.
Penn Manors commencement
was Tuesday, leading to a noon
start after a rainout. The unusual
schedule didnt faze the Spar-
tans, who had slow starts at the
plate in their two District 2 tour-
nament wins.
Yeah, believe it or not, joked
Valley West coach John Milius.
We usually score in the third or
fourth inning after maybe two
times up and (leadoff hitter Ste-
phen) Dosiak coming up for the
third time up. Today, we put the
ball in play.
And Penn Manor (14-12)
helped the Spartans out with a
pair of miscues.
According to team stats, the
Comets had committed just two
errors during the Lancaster-Le-
banon League season, giving
theman immaculate fielding per-
centage of .997.
They doubled that total in the
first two innings against the Spar-
tans, leading to four unearned
runs.
With Alexander settling into a
groove in the third, that was all
the Spartans would need.
Pechulis and Alexander each
drove in a run in the first while
Ricky Stayer and Dosiak each
picked up an RBI in the second.
We put the ball in play and
things happened, Milius said.
We scored in the first inning
and it just snowballed. We got on
it early, and that was the secret.
Score early and often, often and
early. Thats what they did.
It was Pechulis who then
helped break things open late
with RBI doubles in the sixth and
the seventhinnings. EvanMcCue
knocked in two more runs with
another double.
Hitting out of the No. 2 spot,
Matt Zielen set the table for Pe-
chulis and the Spartans by going
3-for-3 with a double while reac-
hing base in all four plate appear-
ances.
I toldhimtosit backanddont
be so anxious, Milius said. He
gets anxious sometimes and
starts swinging at pitches out of
the strike zone. He just hadtodis-
cipline himself get something
to handle in the strike zone.
Alexander found himself in
some trouble in the early going
despite picking up a rare four-
strikeout inning in the top of the
first. Penn Manors Zac Burke
swung at a ball in the dirt for a
third strike but reached first on
the wild pitch.
Burke stole second and then
came home on a single from Wil-
lie Welsh before Alexander walk-
ed the next two batters.
A mound visit to help correct
the right-handers delivery paid
off as Alexander went onto strike
out 10 more Comets en route to a
3-0 record this postseason.
I just reminded him to stay
within himself, Milius said. A
mango can only do what a mango
can do. I said, Right now youre
tryingtooverthrow. Youre trying
to do too much. That was it.
Short and sweet.
Hesaid, OK, Coach. OK. And
it worked, thank God.

going on. Im not sure what the
kids saw or did not see. Their
pitcher did not have anything
special. Our bats just were go-
ing.
Jessica Heichel finished with a
five-hitter for Greenwood. At one
point, she retired 12 in a row be-
tween the first and fifth innings.
She hit her spots and mixed
her pitches well, Greenwood
coach Troy Gantt said. These
girls came out and really played
well today. We knewwe were get-
ting a quality team (in North-
west), but we got on them early
and it got contagious.
Greenwoods first three batters
all bunted and reached base as
the Wildcats got on the board
with a sacrifice fly by Katie Os-
borne to lead 1-0. That held up
until the fourth, when Green-
wood broke it open.
The Wildcats (15-5) batted
around in the fourth, scoring six
times on four hits and two errors.
It was 7-0 before Northwests first
hit. A.J. Seigels bases-clearing
double was the big blow of the
frame.
She was big for us, Gantt
said. It was only a matter of
time. And that took the pressure
off the pitcher and off the defense
a little bit. They relaxed, and it
looked it at the plate.
Northwest loses just three se-
niors from the roster, pitcher Ra-
chel Linso (1-for-3 with a double,
allowed eight unearned runs in
circle), right fielder Perlis (2-
for-3) and center fielder Maranda
Koehn (two putouts).
Were going to miss the three
seniors, May said. These girls
have missed senior trips, theyve
missed fun days with their class.
They wanted to play rather than
go on trips. Thats special.
Weve got a lot tolookforward
to, though, with just one junior
and the rest freshmen and sopho-
mores. You saw our freshman
pitcher (Kelsey Yustat, who
pitched 1
1
3 innings of one-hit
ball). Shes not bad not bad at
all.

Bradford on Thursday.

knee, Ringsdorf said. But I was
feeling good today because I had
a good round of BP (batting prac-
tice) in the cage yesterday. It was
a good team effort today.
South Williamsport pitcher
Alex Carpenter knew the game
was over a split second after
Ringsdorf connected, turning his
back to the hit in frustration be-
fore the ball began its descent.
So did Redeemer coach Chris
Ritsick. But his reaction was ob-
viously quite different.
As soon as it came off the bat,
youknewthat was goingtobethe
game, Ritsick said. No doubt
about it. Betweenmy two seniors
and two key hitters, Ringsdorf
and(Christian) Choman, coming
up you couldnt ask for a better
situation.
South Williamsport squan-
dered a great opportunity in the
seventh after a pair of walks (one
intentional) by Redeemer reliev-
er Will Cavanaugh and an error
loaded the bases with one out.
Cavanaugh, though, struck out
the next batter and got a lazy fly
to left to end the inning.
Ive been in that spot a couple
times this year, Cavanaugh said,
so I was trying to keep my com-
posure and throw strikes and
have confidence in my defense
behind me.
Southalsoleft thebases loaded
in the third, but did get two runs
on singles by Ryan Orgitano and
Kyle Eck to tie the score 2-2. Re-
deemer starter Pat Condo al-
lowedone more hit the rest of the
way until being relieved by Cava-
naugh to start the seventh.
Redeemers Cody Tsevdos sin-
gled in Policare in the first inning
for a 1-0 lead. Choman, who had
reached on an error, moved to
third on the hit up the middle. He
scoredona wildpitchfor a 2-0ad-
vantage.

AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER
Holy Redeemer infielders Christian Choman, left, and Jim Strick-
land celebrate a key strikeout by closer Will Cavanaugh in the
seventh inning.
That is the only spot in the
front seventhat needs tobeset-
tled. The Lions look to be set
on the defensive line with Pete
Massaro and Sean Stanley
book-ending Jordan Hill and
DaQuan Jones.
Returning standouts Gerald
Hodges and Michael Mauti
will play at outside linebacker.
Since the day I arrivedhere,
the front seven on defense has
been really strong, OBrien
said in a team release. Now,
that being said, they have to go
out and prove to us that theyre
as good as I think they are.
Theres good depth on the de-
fensive line with a good mix of
young players and veteran
players. Theres good depth at
linebacker, as well, with four,
five or even six guys who could
play there.
I thinkthefront sevenis one
of the strengths of this football
team.
Much more of a concern is
the secondary.
With the recent dismissal of
Curtis Drake, the Lions are
again looking thin in the back-
field. Sophomore Adrian
Amos, who finished the spring
at safety, has been moved back
to corner, where he will battle
Derrick Thomas to start oppo-
site Stephon Morris.
Williamsport grad Jake Fag-
nano is listed as the first-team
strong safety, with Malcolm
Willis at free safety.
On offense, the most con-
tested spot is at left guard,
where Miles Dieffenbach and
Mark Arcidiacono are both in
the mix to start. Dieffenbach
took most of the reps during
the spring with Arcidiacono
battling an injury.
AdamGress has beenmoved
back to right tackle with red-
shirt freshman Donovan Smith
running first-team at left tack-
le. Matt Stankiewitch (center)
and John Urschel (right guard)
fill out the rest of the line.
At receiver, seniors Justin
Brown and Devon Smith are
listed as starters, with Allen
Robinson and Shawney Kersey
both in the mix for a spot in
three-wide sets.
With the Lions moving to
more two-tight end formations
under OBrien, Garry Gilliam
and redshirt freshman Kyle
Carter are the frontrunners at
theY andF positions, respec-
tively.
At tailback, Bill Beltonis list-
ed as the top backup to Silas
Redd. Curtis Dukes, who is
working through academic is-
sues tokeepaspot ontheteam,
did not appear.
The offensive philosophy
that we have here is really
about a lot of guys playing,
OBriensaid. The depthis def-
initely set at offensive line and
quarterback. And running
back to a certain degree.
But at tight end and receiv-
er, it depends on what type of
personnel grouping were in a
one, two, three or four wide re-
ceiver grouping or a one, two
or three tight end grouping.
Were planning on playing a lot
of guys at those two positions.
Anthony Fera is again in line
to handle both punting and
kicking duties in the fall.
Lions add a receiver
Penn State picked up its sec-
ond verbal commitment this
week when Philadelphia-area
wideout Will Fuller announced
on his Facebook page that he
has pledged to OBrien and
Penn State.
Fuller, listed as a four-star
prospect by one major recruit-
ing service and a three-star by
two others, received a scholar-
ship offer while attending a
camp at Penn State over the
weekend and quickly jumped
on board.
The Roman Catholic High
School standout becomes the
10thmember of the Lions 2012
recruiting class, joining Flor-
ida defensive back Neiko Rob-
inson, whocommittedover the
weekend.

PLAINS TWP. In many ama-
teur levels of baseball, coaches
can be heard saying on the crack
of the bat referringtorunners on
base taking off when the ball is
hit.
The problemis that aluminum
bats are used and the sound is a
ping, not a crack.
There is now a crack of the bat
in the Wyoming Valley American
Legion League.
This season, the league adopt-
ed a rule where all 10 teams will
play every game with wood bats.
Adopting the rule has advan-
tages and disadvantages. Some
organizations are supplying the
players with the new tools, while
others may not have the funds to
do that so players have to buy
their own. Wood bats are less ex-
pensive than aluminum and can
be up to $100 cheaper.
The downside is that wood
bats break and replacing them
can get costly. Teams have gone
through bats like water so far,
with many broken bats already
and thats after one week of a pos-
sible 10-week season through the
state tournament in August.
Price per swing, its more ex-
pensive than aluminum, Plains
manager Don Stark said. I
bought a $60 bat and got one
game out (of it).
Using wood bats should favor
pitchers because aluminum bats
are known for getting more drive
with the ball. You couldnt tell
that was the case Tuesday at Hill-
dale Park, where Plains hosted
Greater Pittston. GP, a teamload-
ed with seven post-grads, defeat-
ed the young Plains squad10-0 in
six innings.
The big hit of the game came
from catcher Ron Musto, who
crushed a grand slam to dead-
center inthe fourthinningtolead
to the lopsided score.
I just think that if you hit with
aluminum, you could hit with
wood, Greater Pittstonmanager
Drew Whyte said. The better
hitters are still going to be able to
hit.
Using wood bats make plate
appearances more compared to
when the BBCOR(Bat-Ball Coef-
ficient of Restitution) medal bats
areused. Thosejust startedbeing
used during the PIAA high
school season.
The new aluminum bats used
on the high school level prompt-
ed coaches to manage the games
differently. WVALL coaches are
expected to do the same. That
was evident early during Tues-
days game in Plains Township
whenStark decidedto showbunt
withhis Nos. 3and4hitters inthe
first inning with a runner on sec-
ond and trailing 2-0. It also has a
mental effect onbatters as well as
pitchers.
I told themtoday dont be ap-
prehensive when you swing.
Youre going to break a bat more
when youre apprehensive then if
youre going up there taking your
wacks, Stark said.
District 11 (Lackawanna
League) has also gone to all-
wood with the WVALL to get a
jumpfor next season, whenwood
will be a rule statewide for safety
reasons.
Double it up
Another change in the Wyom-
ing Valley League this season is
that Northwest and Old Forge
dropped out, moving the number
of teams and games played. But
Mountain Post had so many play-
ers try out it decided to field two
teams instead of cutting a large
amount of participants. So the
number of teams in the WVALL
this season stands at 10.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. Jo-
nathan Quick remembers eating
ice pops with his friends and
watching their beloved NewYork
Rangers win the Stanley Cup on
television in 1994. Dustin Brown
vaguely recalls Joe Nieuwendyk
bringing the Cup to Ithaca, N.Y.,
but cant remember if he got to
see it up close.
With just one more win by
their Los Angeles Kings, the star
goalie and the courageous cap-
tain will have the Stanley Cup in
their hands, above their head
even in the Pacific Ocean, if they
choose.
The stage is set for a California
coronationinGame4onWednes-
day night. The Kings could com-
plete a sweep of the New Jersey
Devils in the Stanley Cup final in
front of a sellout crowd thats
been waiting 45 years for this
chance to celebrate.
Its right there in front of us,
but we know theres one more
step, Brown said Tuesday at the
Kings training complex. We
dont want to trip now.
A successful stretch
The eighth-seeded Kings are
dominating the NHL playoffs
with an ease thats stranger than
ice in sunny L.A. Afranchise that
has never done much of anything
in the postseason has already
conquered the Western Confer-
ence, and the Kings are one win
away from claiming their first
championship in almost impossi-
bly stylish fashion.
The Kings are on a 15-2 playoff
run that has only one equal in
NHL history, leaving everyone
searching for superlatives to de-
scribe the way Los Angeles has
steamrolledeveryopponent inits
path by a combined 49-24 mar-
gin.
Game 4 is even a chance for
Los Angeles to be the first NHL
team to win the Cup at home
since Anaheim in 2007, reward-
ing the fans who consistently
sold out Staples Center even dur-
ing the Kings ignominious play-
off absence from 2002-10 before
general manager Dean Lombar-
dis rebuilding plan yielded boun-
tiful fruit this spring.
Theres a lot at the end there
to look forward to, if we play the
right way, Jarret Stoll said. Im
sure well talk a lot about it the
next day and a half to get ready,
making sure were playing the
right way, having the right atti-
tude. Cant get too excited, look
too far ahead. You have to stay in
the moment and play the game.
The Kings appear to be neither
overly excited nor overly defen-
sive about the potential conclu-
sion to this two-month playoff
push. Los Angeles has been re-
markably unaffected by any of its
success after a rough regular sea-
son in which a playoff berth
wasnt secure until just before the
81st game.
They have a chance to match
Edmontons NHL-record16-2 run
through the 1988 playoffs in
Game 4, but the Kings arent get-
ting too high.
It doesnt count any more
than the rest of them did, insist-
ed Quick, who has allowed just
24 goals in17 playoff games. Ob-
viously, were not going to start
thinking about stuff that hasnt
happened yet.

MONTREAL Michel Ther-
rienis coachof the Montreal Can-
adiens again, a home-gown prod-
uct who rejoins a storied fran-
chise that fell to last place this
season and angered many fans
across Quebec over a previous
coaching hiring.
Therrien, a Montreal native,
succeeds Randy Cunneyworth.
He coached the Canadiens from
2000 until he was replaced by
Claude Julien in 2003.
The announcement Tuesday
ended weeks of speculation over
thechoicebynewgeneral manag-
er Marc Bergevin. Former NHL
coach Marc Crawford and the
popular former goaltender Pa-
trick Roy, nowcoach and general
manager of the junior Quebec
Remparts, were also believed to
be top candidates.
Therrien has been working in
television since he was let go by
the Pittsburgh Penguins a few
weeks before their run to the
Stanley Cup in 2009. He coached
the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pen-
giuns for two and half seasons.
He inherits a Canadiens team
that went 31-35-16 this season,
finished last in the Eastern Con-
ference and missed the playoffs
for the first time since 2007.
Therrien acknowledges hes
different from the time he first
coached the team.
We all change, he said.
Theres a lot of people in that
dressing room here and I could
tell you guys
(media)
changed a lot,
too.
It goes with
maturity, he
added. I got a
lot of experi-
ence coaching
that club before and I brought
that experience and knowledge
when I left Montreal.
Cunneyworth was made inter-
im coach after Jacques Martin
was firedinDecember. The move
provokedhowls of protest among
many in Quebec because he was
the first non-French speaker to
hold the job in four decades. Can-
adiens President Geoff Molson
apologized and promised the
next coach would be bilingual.
At the end of the season, the
team announced that Cunney-
worth was no longer the coach
and it would be up to the new
coach to decide whether to keep
him as an assistant.
Therrien was hired by Mon-
treal in 1997 to coach their top
farmteam, whichwas theninFre-
dericton after taking the junior
Granby Predators to a Memorial
Cup the previous year.
He was hired as coach of the
Canadiens in 2000 to replace the
fired Alain Vigneault. Therriens
team ended a four-year run of
missing the playoffs by reaching
the secondroundin2002. He had
a 77-77-36 record in his first stint
with the Canadiens.

WASHINGTON The day
was a perfect microcosm of the
Roger Clemens perjurytrial. The
lawyers spent more than an hour
arguing over a witness who end-
eduptestifyinginfrontof thejury
for about five minutes about a
topic the judge isnt sure is even
relevant to the case.
Also, a new wrinkle was re-
vealedina trial thats already run
waylongerthanexpected: Oneof
thejurorsisleavingsoonfor asix-
monthtrip to Germany.
The predicament over the ju-
ror headed to Europe on June 19
might be more crucial than else
anything heard in court Tuesday
inthe trial to determine whether
ClemensliedtoCongressin2008
when he denied using steroids
and human growth hormone. If
the juror is excused, the final al-
ternatewouldbeaddedtothe12-
personpanel acyclist andgym
rat whosaidduringjuryselection
that he knows people who have
usedsteroids.
Clemens lawyer Rusty Hardin
doesnt appear to want that man
deciding his clients fate. Hardin
lobbied U.S. District Judge Reg-
gie Walton to keep the Europe-
bound juror on the panel, confi-
dent thetrial will beover bythen.
I thinktheschedules goingto
take care of it, Hardinsaid.
Hardin said the defense hopes
torestbytheendof thisweek, but
the trials schedule is littered
withpartial daysandoff-daysdue
to various conflicts. Two days
will be missed next week while
the judge is out of town. Plus,
Walton noted that its difficult to
predict how long deliberations
will take.
Threejurors havealreadybeen
dismissed, including two who
were caught sleeping during the
trial. Another juror has been sus-
pected of sleeping, but she re-
mains onthe panel for now.
The trial, originally projected
to last four to six weeks, is in its
eighthweek, andthefirst witness
Tuesday was another frustrating
exercise in the slow pace of jus-
tice. The defense wanted to ask
broadcaster Joe Angel about
comments he made duringa pair
of broadcasts of a series between
the Toronto Blue Jays and Flor-
ida Marlins in1998.
Angel had barely taken the
standwhenthe jurywas whisked
out of the courtroom. His testi-
mony has to do with whether
Clemens attended a mid-day
pool partyat BlueJays teammate
Jose Cansecos house on June 9,
1998. Clemens said at his con-
gressional deposition in Febru-
ary 2008 that he wasnt at Canse-
cos house that day. The govern-
ment says that was a lie, and so
one of the lesser charges against
the former pitcher is that he ob-
structed Congress with that
statement.
But the judge wanted to know
what, if anything, thepartyhasto
do with whether Clemens used
performance-enhancing sub-
stances. Waltonsoundedopento
dismissing the allegation be-
cause it wasnt material to the
case. Hardin naturally agreed
and expressed shock that prose-
cutors were seeking to make
(Clemens) a felon over such a
matter.
If Clemens wasnt at the party,
Hardin has argued, that would
call into question the overall
credibility of the governments
key witness. McNamee has testi-
fied that he injected Clemens
with performance-enhancing
drugs in1998, 2000 and2001.

OKLAHOMA CITY Down
and nearly out less than a week
ago, the Oklahoma City Thunder
are riding a momentum shift to
the brink of The NBA Finals.
With three straight wins, the
Thunder have changed the con-
versation from how anyone can
stop the San Antonio Spurs re-
cord-setting 20-game winning streak to
how Oklahoma City needs just one win on
its home court in Game 6 on Wednesday
night to play for the NBA title.
Hundreds of fans waited in the middle
of the night for the Thunders plane to
land after Game 5, and thousands more
will pack Chesapeake Energy Arena to
cheer Oklahoma City on. Yet coach Scott
Brooks urged Tuesday that riding the
momentum isnt enough to get the job
done.
We have a great opportunity, were on
our home floor but that doesnt guarantee
automatic victory, Brooks said during a
day off at the teams practice facility.
Theyre not going to give us the game.
Theyre not just going to say, Weve lost
three in a row, were going to give in. We
know we have a tough challenge ahead.
Improving odds
Brooks stood near the same spot just a
week earlier, surprised when a reporter
told him that only 6 percent of NBA
teams over the years had overcome an 0-2
deficit in a seven-game series. Now, his
Thunder could become only the 15th team
to pull off the feat and the eighth since
2004.
The percentages, you cant really feed
into that because you know that theres
always a chance, Brooks said.
Theres 48 minutes to prove that
youre the better team that night,
and we have an opportunity
tomorrow night to do that
again.
A series of defensive adjust-
ments by Brooks helped turn the
series, with 6-foot-7 Thabo Sefo-
losha switching onto All-Star
point guard Tony Parker in Game
3 the most visible change. The Spurs have
been tinkering ever since to get back in
the groove theyd been riding since mid-
April but instead have lost three straight
games for the first time all season.
Must play better
Coach Gregg Popovich put sixth man
Manu Ginobili in the starting lineup for
Game 5, getting a playoff-best 34 points
from the Argentine guard but disrupting
the bench rotation in the process. He has
also gotten DeJuan Blair back in the mix
after benching the former starter for the
first part of the playoffs.
I think we have the right game plan,
Spurs All-Star Tim Duncan said. We just
need to play a little better for a little long-
er.
After being blown out by 20 in Game 3,
the Spurs have lost the last two by a com-
bined nine points and now must find a
way to snap Oklahoma Citys seven-game
home win streak.
Its not that we have a Game 8 or 9 to
recover, so its either win or go home,
Ginobili said. So we have to. Its our job.
So nobody is going to feel sorry about
ourselves, weve just got to go compete.
We know its hard to beat them there, but
its what we have to do. Weve got to step
up and play the best game of the season.

NEW YORK Taking in the
Manhattan skyline from atop the
Empire State Building, Mario
Gutierrez was a long way from
his small hometown near Vera-
cruz, Mexico.
The 25-year-old jockey
checked out the view on a sunny
Tuesday morning in his first trip
tothe BigApple. Hedalready vis-
ited the ride that got him here,
having stopped by Belmont Park
earlier to check on Ill Have An-
other. Gutierrez and the colt will
try to win the Triple Crown for
the first time in 34 years on Sat-
urday in the Belmont Stakes.
Standing 86 stories above the
bustling city, Gutierrez smiled as
a knot of photographers closed
tightly in on him. Mario, over
here, they shouted. Turn this
way. He happily obliged as tour-
ists craned their necks to see the
short guy who is the poised to be-
come the toast of the racing
world.
Later, Gutierrez told trainer
Doug ONeill about his adven-
ture, admitting that he felt dizzy
and joking that the historic build-
ing was 2 or 3 inches higher
than the roof at Pimlico where he
won the Preakness on May 19.
Imnot huge on heights, said
ONeill, who skipped the photo
op and met up with his jockey on
a rooftopoverlookingRockefeller
Center. You get a little nervous
hearing about it.
Gutierrez has been unflappa-
ble since being thrust into the
spotlight with Ill Have Anothers
comeback win in the Kentucky
Derby on May 5.
Hes handled the pressure
well and he knows his horse
well, former jockey Richard Mi-
gliore said. He and the horse
both have a lot of confidence in
each other and thats something
thats critical to their success.
Migliore plans to walk Bel-
monts 11-2-mile course with Gu-
tierrez on Thursday, pointing out
its sweeping turns and long
stretch that make the layout dif-
ferent than the mile tracks where
most jockeys ride. Gutierrez is
scheduled to ride some races Fri-
day to get used to the conditions
before laying it on the line Satur-
day.
Learn the poles, theyre very
important, said John Velazquez,
who will be aboardUnionRags in
the Belmont. When you run in
the Belmont, you got to know
where you are.
Migliore said hell caution Gu-
tierrez not to be tricked into
starting his final drive too early
or else Ill Have Another might
not have enough left to get
through the 1,097-yard stretch.
H O R S E R A C I N G
If he can
make it
there ...
Ill Have Anothers jockey
arrives in New York for the
first time in his life.

PARIS Four times, the
stands at Roland Garros were
ready to erupt, a beloved French-
manstandingonepoint frombeat-
ingthe worlds topplayer andend-
ing his quest for history.
Fourtimes, NovakDjokovichad
an answer for Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
And so, instead of Tsonga Time
at the French Open, Djokovic is
still on the road to the Novak
Slam.
Top-seeded Djokovic overcame
four match points, to say nothing
of the wildly partisan crowd, for a
6-1, 5-7, 5-7, 7-6 (6), 6-1 victory
over Tsonga that ended near twi-
light Tuesday in front of drizzle-
soaked stands that had quickly
emptied after the match points
vanished and the final set had be-
come academic.
There is not really any rational
explanation or word that can de-
scribe what youre supposed to do
when youre match points down
or youre very close to losing the
match, Djokovic said. I guess its
trying to be mentally tough and
believing in your shots.
Djokovic didandgot the win
his 26th straight in the majors.
After he converted his first
match point a backhand win-
ner down the line Djokovic
leaned back and pumped his fists
over and over. Tsonga, the No. 5
seedwhohaddreamsof becoming
the first Frenchman to win his
countrys Grand Slam since Yan-
nick Noah in 1983, sat with his
head buried in a towel, while the
fewfans left chanted his name.
It was the end to a remarkable
day of tennis that included third-
seededRoger Federers comeback
from two sets down for a 3-6, 6-7
(4), 6-2, 6-0, 6-3 win over No. 9
seed Juan Martin del Potro. It
marked Federers seventh career
rally from down two sets to love.
After both the winners rest their
legs, theyll meet withaspot inthe
final on the line.
Well, Imvery disappointedfor
Jo, Federer said. I would have
loved to play him here in Paris. I
have a feeling that the crowd
would have loved to see such a
match. For him, its a disappoint-
ment. Asfor me, itsnothingdiffer-
ent as from last year. Im playing
Djokovic in the semifinal.
Djokovics last Grand Slam loss
cameagainst Federer inthat semi-
final last year a defeat that end-
ed the Serbs 43-match winning
streak.
If Federer does it again, hell set
the stage for his 17th Grand Slam
tournament title, but his first
since the 2010 Australian Open.
Djokovic, meanwhile, will tryto
set up a chance to join Rod Laver
andDonBudge as the onlymento
hold all four Grand Slam titles at
the same time.
The good thing is that we both
have two days off now to rest,
Djokovic said. AndI hope tohave
another great matchlike we didin
2011. Its always a big challenge to
play Roger. Hes a fantastic player,
a big champion.
By saving all those match
points, Djokovic may have re-
minded tennis fans of the stunt he
pulled at the U.S. Open last year.
Federer held two match points in
the semifinal of that one. Djokovic
turned hard on Federers wide
serve on the first one for a clean
winner, then on the second,
fought off a serve into his body to
win the point. He then rolled off
four straight games to set up a
meeting inthe final against Rafael
Nadal.
Djokovic was just as aggressive
with his back against the wall this
time, never more than on the first
match point, where he went for it
on an overhead that skimmed the
baseline, then moved in to put
away an easy volley. He saved an-
other one while serving down 5-4,
thentwo more while serving from
behind at 6-5. By the time he had
closed out the fourth-set tiebreak-
er, the French fans had an idea of
where things were going next.
They started vacating and Djo-
kovic needed only 32 minutes to
win the fifth set and close out a
match that took 4 hours, 9 min-
utes.
This level tennis is very men-
tal. Lots of emotions, Djokovic
said. If youreplayingatopplayer,
a home favorite and you have a
crowd thats supporting him, you
havetofacethesethings. Physical-
ly, were all fit, all hitting the ball
well. But mentally, its just a mat-
ter of a point here, a point there.
Thats sport. The one that mental-
ly pushes more in some moments
and gets a bit lucky, gets the win.
Of course, if Federer had any
major U.S. Open flashbacks on
this day, it might have been to the
2009 final, when he was on top of
thetennisworldanddel Potromet
him in the final as a heavy under-
dog. The Argentine won that
match and remains the only per-
son other than Federer, Nadal or
Djokovic to take a Grand Slam ti-
tle between the 2005 Australian
and today.
Djokovic saves 4 match points in win vs. Tsonga

CINCINNATI A western
Ohio high school runner who
helped a struggling competitor
finish their race is being praised
for her sportsmanship and try-
ing to cope with the attention it
has sparked.
Meghan Vogel appreciates
the accolades but said Tuesday
that she is a bit overwhelmed by
the praise that has been pouring
insince Saturdays trackmeet in
Columbus.
The 17-year-old West Liberty-
Salem High School junior was
in last place in the 3,200-meter
run as she caught up to Arling-
ton High School sophomore Ar-
den McMath, whose body was
giving out. Instead of zipping
past McMath to avoid the last-
place finish, Vogel put
McMaths arm around her
shoulders, half-dragging and
half-carrying her about 30 me-
ters to the finish line.
Vogel, who pushed McMath
over the line before crossing it,
has been getting Facebook and
Twitter messages andmail from
friends and strangers saying she
has inspired them with her
sportsmanship.
Its an honor and very hum-
bling, Vogel said in a telephone
interviewfromher West Liberty
home. I just thought I was do-
ing the right thing, and I think
others would have done the
same.
But McMath, 16, of Findlay,
said in a telephone interview
from her northwestern Ohio
home that shes not so sure.
I really dont thinkjust every-
one would have done that, she
said. I just couldnt believe
what she did especially push-
ing me in front of her and Im
so grateful.
Both girls are a little hazy
about the details.
The last thing I remember
was seeing Arden fall and then
trying to get her to the finish
line, Vogel said.
McMath remembered feeling
like she was blacking in and
out and falling a few times be-
fore Vogel helped her.
Vogel, whohadwonthe1,600-
meter race earlier, said she was
emotional and tired from that
when she began the longer race.
She also felt a little woozy
afterward and found herself
next to McMath in the training
room, where the Arlington stu-
dent was being treated.
McMath says her sodium levels
apparentlywerelow, but shehas
recovered.
Vogels mother, Ann Vogel, is
West Liberty-Salems track and
field coach. Technically both
runners should have been dis-
qualified, but the official decid-
ed not to make that call, she
said.

Teen helps competitor to finish
By LISA CORNWELL
Associated Press
NEW YORK The NFL Referees
Association is disputing a claim by
the league that the officials threat-
ened to take a strike vote after their
contract expired.
Mike Arnold, counsel for the offi-
cials, says Tuesday that claimis pat-
ently false.
The NFLRAhas never threatened
to strike, Arnold said. After repeat-
ed references by the NFL during ne-
gotiations regarding its plans to ob-
tain replacement officials, the
NFLRAbriefedits members at its an-
nual meeting on April 21, 2012. No
strike vote was taken at the meeting.
In fact the NFLRAs directive to
its membership was to prepare for
the season and to perform each and
every task assigned to them both be-
fore and after CBA expiration. This
continues to be the position of the
NFLRA.
The collective bargaining agree-
ment ended after the 2011 season.
The sides had been meeting since
October, but mediation lasted only
two sessions and talks broke off Sun-
day.
On Monday, the league said it will
begin hiring and training replace-
ment officials.
The officials say that the NFL of-
fered salary increases lower than
those obtained in the 2006 agree-
ment.
They heard about the increases
that team and league employees re-
ceive, far less than the increases we
proposed for the game officials, even
without considering the improved
offer made on Sunday, NFL spokes-
man Greg Aiello said. Do the offi-
cials get the same kind of raises in
their other jobs as they did in 2006?
Game officials most of whom
hold other jobs were offered a sev-
en-year deal that included increases
of between 5 percent and 11 percent
in wages per year. First-year officials
who made an average of $78,000 in
2011 would earn more than $165,000
by the end of the new agreement. A
10-year veteran in 2011 who made
$139,000 would get more than
$200,000 in 2018.
Arnold also says the league in-
tends tofreezeandterminatetheoffi-
cials pension plan, which began in
1974 and has been administered by
the league since.
Theleagues proposal is amassive
takeaway in the overall economic
package at play in the negotiations,
Arnold said. Now, despite record
revenues, the NFL wants to do away
with the plan.
Arnold said the NFLRA proposed
to grandfather or limit the contin-
uation of the pension plan to current
officials only and that federal media-
tors advised both parties ... the
grandfather solution proposed by
the NFLRA would normally settle
the issue.
However, the NFL rejected the
proposal and as recently as the June
3, 2012, session reiterated it is not in-
terested in the grandfather concept,
Arnold added.
Aiello countered that the NFL of-
fered a transition from the defined
benefit plan in which the officials
wouldretainall the benefits they cur-
rently have.
We offered to contribute $16,500
per official in 2012 and increase that
amount to almost $23,000 by 2018,
he said. We showed them projec-
tions ... indicating that they would
have a larger retirement benefit un-
der our proposal than under the old
defined benefit plan.
Aiellosaidthe planbeingofferedis
the same that everyone working at
the NFL office and that many of the
32 teams have.
The players union supported the
officials on Monday, but Denver
Broncos linebacker Joe Mays says
the officials plight doesnt resonate
with them.

Wind power tax credit
stalled by partisanship
A group of wind power executives
says a stalled effort to renew federal
tax credits for the industry is creating
instability and financial concerns, mak-
ing it difficult to keep employees on
the payroll and plan for expansion.
Meanwhile, former presidential aides
Karl Rove and Robert Gibbs told wind
power executives Tuesday at their
annual conference that there is biparti-
san support for the tax credits, but a
tough political climate between now
and the November presidential election
makes a quick resolution unlikely.
The production tax credit expires at
the end of the year.
Home prices rose in April
Real estate industry analyst Core-
Logic said Tuesday that the average
selling price of homes in the Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre area rose 6.3 percent in
April compared to a year earlier, when
distressed sales are excluded. Includ-
ing distressed sales, prices declined 1.2
percent.
Nationally, sale prices rose 1.9 per-
cent over the year excluding distressed
sales. When distressed sales are in-
cluded, the average selling price was
1.1 percent higher.
Service sector expands
The Institute for Supply Manage-
ment said Tuesday that its index of
non-manufacturing activity edged up to
53.7 last month from an April reading
of 53.5. It marked their 29th straight
month of expansion.
The new-orders component of the
index rose, suggesting that demand
will be solid in coming months. But
there was concern that the employ-
ment component, though still signaling
expansion, slipped to the lowest read-
ing since November.
Strong demand seen for gas
The International Energy Agency
says global demand for natural gas
should grow by 17 percent over the
next five years as Chinese consumption
doubles.
The IEA thinks Chinas demand for
natural gas should expand by 13 per-
cent a year through 2017, while U.S.
consumption will probably grow by 13
percent by 2017.
North America should benefit, be-
coming a net exporter of liquefied
natural gas over the next five years.

SCRANTON Medico Industries
Inc. in Wilkes-Barre has agreed to pay
$225,000 to the federal government to
resolve allegations it provided goods
to the Department of Defense that did
not conformto specifications, the U.S.
Attorneys office announced Tuesday.
According to U.S. Attorney Peter J.
Smith, Medico provided non-conform-
ing tail fin cone assemblies for mortar
illumination and smoke rounds
through a contract issued by the U.S.
Army Field Support Command.
In a civil action filed against the
company, the government alleged
Medico provided certificates of com-
pliance that erroneously stated the
items met specifications related to
hardness and/or conductivity of the
metal materials. The Department of
Defense identified several non-con-
forming items during a test of alumi-
num components at the Armys Pine
Bluff Arsenal in Arkansas, Smith said
in a press release.
Although Medico submitted errone-
ous certificates of compliance, the gov-
ernment is not aware of anyinstance in
which the tail fin cone assemblies
failed to perform as designed, Smith
said. After the parties became aware of
the issue, the contract was modified.
Medico Industries has provided
parts to the military for more than 60
years, company President Tom Medi-
co told The Times Leader for a compa-
ny profile in 2008. Parts are made pri-
marily in a 100,000-square-foot manu-
facturing center at the rear of the Med-
ico building on Highway 315 in Plains
Township.
Medico was not available to com-
ment late Tuesday afternoon.

FRANKFURT, Germany The Eu-
ropean Central Bank has a powerful
weapon that just might push political
leaders into helping solve the conti-
nents financial crisis: withholding fur-
ther support.
The ECBisnt likely to take any new
stepswhenit meetstoday, analystssay,
evenas anxietybuilds over thedeterio-
rating outlook for Europes economy
andbanking system.
ECB President Mario Draghi sig-
naled last week that he wants to see
stronger political and financial ties
amongthe17countries that usetheeu-
ro. If suchtiesareforgedpossiblyata
European Union summit later this
month analysts say the ECB would
bemorelikelytorewardEuropeangov-
ernments and banks with the financial
shot inthe armthey desperately need.
Its a risky game because euro coun-
tries are inbig trouble.
All across Europe, ailing banks and
governmentsarejoinedat thehip. Bail-
ing out banks has been a huge burden
on governments; and weakened gov-
ernment finances have been a drag on
banks that owngovernment bonds.
Overthepastweek, someof Europes
leading authorities have been pushing
political leaders to act quickly to break
this burdensome link.
The European Commission called
onpoliticians last Wednesdaytocreate
a central European authority with the
financial muscle to fix the continents
broken banks. The next day, Draghi
echoed those comments, saying the
current setupof the17-country curren-
cy unionwas unsustainable.
Avariety of proposals have been put
forth to stemthe crisis and put Europe
on a more sustainable path. They in-
clude: usingEuropesbailoutfundtodi-
rectlyrecapitalizebanks; creatingaEu-
rope-wide bank regulator with the
powertotakeoverfailingbanks; andes-
tablishing some form of European
bonds that could make it easier for
heavilyindebtednationstoborrowand
reduce the likelihood of default by any
single country.

WASHINGTON As expected,
Senate Republicans on Tuesday
blocked a bill that calls for equal pay in
the workplace, an issue pushed by
President Barack Obama and his allies
in an election-year effort to merge po-
litical appeals to women with the No. 1
concern for all voters: the cash in their
wallets on the heels of recession.
The debate has Republicans on the
defensive, arguing that stabilizing the
economy is the best way to ensure
equal treatment and that the bill
would unfairly burden employers.
Of course Gov. Romney supports
pay equity for women, said Amanda
Henneberg, a spokeswoman for Re-
publican presidential hopeful Mitt
Romney. In order to have pay equity,
women need to have jobs, and they
have been getting crushed in this ane-
mic Obama economy, losing far more
jobs than men.
Lilly Ledbetter, the face of the move-
ment for workplace equality, sent a let-
ter to Romney Tuesday in which she
again challenged him to take a stand.
Your campaign will say only that
you support the concept of pay equity,
but that you wouldnt change any laws
to actually enforce it, she wrote.
Thats like saying youre for staying
dry but wouldnt use an umbrella in a
rainstorm.
The response came amid a choreo-
graphed showdown on the Senate
floor over the Paycheck Fairness
Act, a measure that aims to strength-
en the Fair Labor Standards Acts pro-
tections against paycheck inequities
based on gender. Women workers
make an average of 77 cents for every
dollar earned by men.
The legislation, sponsored by Sen.
Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., would re-
quire employers to prove that differ-
ences in pay are based on qualifica-
tions, education and other bona
fides not related to gender. It also
would prohibit employers from retal-
iating against employees who ask
about, discuss or disclose wages in re-
sponse toa complaint or investigation.
Andit wouldmake employers whovio-
late sex discrimination laws liable for
compensatory or punitive damages.
Under the bill, the federal government
would be exempt from punitive dam-
ages.

After being in
neutral the
past couple of
days, the local
weather pattern
will shift into
low gear today.
This will allow
for a small
wind shift, a
little more
sunshine and
slightly warmer
temperatures.
But there will
remain in
place enough
instability for
showers to
form this
afternoon, and
more could
form again
Thursday. Then,
heading into the
weekend warmer
temperatures
and a stabilized
atmosphere
will offer more
sunshine and
more summer-
like tempera-
tures. Most of
the weekend is
still looking
rather hot and
more humid.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible from the southern
Plains to the Gulf Coast and into portions of the Southeast along a stationary front. An upper-level
trough of low pressure will result in scattered showers and thunderstorms throughout much of the
rest of the East. The northern Plains will experience a few showers and thunderstorms.

TASTE S E C T I O N C
THE TIMES LEADER WEDNESDAY, JUNE 6, 2012

A GREAT WAY to spice up your
summer is this refreshing Chipotle
Grilled Shrimp Salad, a tasty dish that
was a welcome addition to our recent
Memorial Day cookout.
It can be a delicious
summer meal for your
family or a wonderful
addition to your next
picnic. This tangy
salad explodes with
flavor and texture.
Nothing says sum-
mer like grilling, and combining the
cool freshness of a salad with these
spicy grilled shrimp is a great way to
get away from the typical grilled burg-
ers and steaks to a lighter, healthier
option.
You can increase or decrease the
peppers and cayenne according to your
taste.
If youd like to learn more, youre
invited to a summer-salad cooking
demonstration at 6:30 p.m. June 21 at
Cork Bar & Restaurant, 463 Madison
St., Wilkes-Barre.

and add to salads. Garnish with lime slices.
In blender or food processor, mix all

dressing or serve on the side.

Indeed, the spices that put the
punch in Punjabi cuisine among
them, garlic, turmeric, chili powder,
cardamomand cumin are believed
to contain an array of energy-increas-
ing, cholesterol-lowering, immunity-
boosting and anti-inflammatory properties.
Some of the dishes also are low in fat, Amber owner
Aman Sharma said. You bake tandoori chicken in the ov-
en, and all the fat burns right off.
Showing off some of the restaurant specialties, Sharma
explained a savory naan, or flatbread, was cooked with
garlicandcilantro. Thealoogobhi wasavegetariandishof

toadoseof turmeric. Andamixof
spices went into the pakoras,
whichconsist of slicedvegetables
coated with chickpea flour and
deep fried.
Dip those fritters into either a
sweet-and-sour tamarind sauce,
Sharmas wife, Bhava, urged a vis-
itor. Or try the green sauce made
frommint, cilantroandjalapenos.
So, jalapenos are part of Indian
cuisine as well as South Ameri-
can?
Oh, yes, Aman Sharma said.
Many people in India start the
day with a fresh jalapeno in their
hand. They eat it with breakfast.
Now, if you fear Indian dishes
might set your mouth on fire, you
really dont have to worry at a res-
taurant suchas Amber. Spices can
be adjusted according to request,
and Aman Sharma explained, the
creamier ones such as chicken
korma are quite mild and often a
good choice for the diner who
likes to play it safe.
For diners who are more dar-
ing, Sharma recommends a chili
chicken, cooked with jalapeno
peppers and green chilies, or
chicken vindaloo, which is
cooked with potatoes in a highly
spicy, tangy sauce.
Of course, therestaurant serves
other meats besides chicken.
Among the dozens of entrees,
Lamb Dopiyaza contains tender
pieces of lamb sauted with on-
ions in a mild sauce, while Chari
Goat is goat meat in a spicy sauce
withatouchof jaggery, adarksug-
ar made from the sap of a palm
tree.
There are plenty of vegetarian
dishes as well, providing protein
from chickpeas, lentils or cheese.
In fact, as Bhava Sharma proudly
noted, the Amber Indian Restau-
rant won an award from The
Weekender entertainment news-
paper for several years in a rowas
best vegetarian restaurant.
Food at Amber is served in the
style of the northwestern Indias
Punjab region, where mangos are
a major crop. Appropriately
enough, youll find a mango-fla-
vored yogurt drink, or lassi, is a
popular beverage at the restau-
rant.
For dessert, you might try a
sweet, milky pudding similar to
rice pudding but made with ver-
micelli noodles. Ice cream fla-
vored with mango and rosewater
is another pleasant way to end a
meal, one highly recommend by
those happy repeat-customers,
Torda and her daughter.
By the way, if parents of picky
eaters are wondering how Torda
convinced her preschooler to em-
bark on the adventure of Indian
cuisine, it started before she was
born.
I ate here when I was preg-
nant, Torda said, addingher chil-
dren started eating Indian-style
spinach and chicken themselves
as soon as they were ready for sol-
id food.
If youhappentobecloser tothe
Poconos than to the Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton area, you also
can find Punjab-style food at the
Tandoor Palace in Tannersville.
Diners whohavepostedonlinere-
views report part of the charm
there is the chance toeat inanold
railroad car.
Finally, if you would like your
taste of India tobe somethingyou
make in your own kitchen, we are
providingarecipefor anintroduc-
tory kind of dish, chicken korma,
as well as for garam masala, a
spice mixture included in it. We
