PLAINS TWP. – Former President Jimmy Carter on Tuesday night told folks in a crowded auction house on Carey Street how he met his wife, Rosalynn, and asked her to marry him. Three years her senior, Carter said he grew up next door to her but paid her no attention because of the age difference. Then one day when he was home for the summer from the Naval A-

cademy, he asked her out to a movie. The next day, he told his mother, “She’s the one I’m gonna marry,” Carter said. About six months later, he proposed and she said no. But a few months after that, after she dated “every boy in Sumter See CARTERS, Page 9A

Former Judge Lokuta files complaint She says county worker made sexist remark at sentencing of ex-Judge Michael Toole. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Former Luzerne County Judge Ann Lokuta said Tuesday she is filing a complaint against a county worker because of a sexist comment made at the sentencing of former Judge Michael Toole last

week. “I didn’t do this for Annie Lokuta,” Lokuta said Tuesday. “I did it for all the women who have been Lokuta the subject of any kind of sexist comment.” She called the comment “inappropriate” and hurtful” and said an investigation of the employee is warranted in her letter mailed Tuesday to county President

Judge Thomas Burke. According to media reports, Jim Dougherty, an assistant supervisor who works in the county’s protection-from-abuse office, attended Toole’s sentencing on Friday and allegedly said, “The men’s room is over there.” Dougherty claimed the remark was bad timing and directed at another person trying to find the men’s room.

Gas drilling’s promise, perils rile communities From Texas to NEPA and N.Y., neighbors take sides over the volatile issue of fracking. By RAMIT PLUSHNICK-MASTI and MICHAEL RUBINKAM Associated Press

Ron Hilliard came back from church one Sunday to find hundreds of plastic $5, $10, $20 and $100 bills hanging on his fence in Flower Mound, Texas, another message from townsfolk angry at him for signing a lucrative nat-

ural gas drilling lease for his suburban Dallas property. In Damascus, Pa., about 1,500 miles away, drilling advocate Marian Schweighofer awoke one morning to the word "LORAX" — from the Dr. Seuss book about environmental destruction — spray-painted on the road near her family’s 712acre farm.

Ashley reinstates 3 part-time police officers Council stopped scheduling part-time officers and cut a full-time patrolman last year. By CAMILLE FIOTI Times Leader Correspondent

ASHLEY – Council unanimously voted Tuesday to reinstate three part-time police officers who were laid off in July due to budget cuts. Joe McGlynn, 29, Ed Weidow, 33, and Phillip Collotty, 40, were sworn in by District Justice Joseph Halesy at council’s work session prior to Tuesday’s regular meeting. Council member Jim Mullen said the officers will be

Steven Todd Price, 40, of Buttonwood Avenue, WilkesBarre, waived charges of stalking and accidents involving damage to attended vehicle to Luzerne County Court. Nanticoke police withdrew charges of reckless endangerment, simple assault and five traffic violations against Price. Police allege Angela Espinosa reported on Feb. 3 that her vehicle was struck by a Ford Escape, driven by Price, on West Washington Street. She followed Price, who she claimed made a motion with his hand across his throat, according to a police news release. NANTICOKE – A man accused of struggling with police

Mullen said council could not give the reason for Cerski’s termination because it is a “personnel issue.” “I’m thankful that they’re back,” said Sgt. Joe McGlynn Jr., of the part-time officers. McGlynn Jr. is the borough’s only full-time police officer and the father of the reinstated officer Joe McGlynn.

McGlynn provided council with a detailed police report for the month of March. Like the March report, council announced that future reports will consist of an itemized list of the types and numbers of incidents. Frank Drazba asked council if Mayor Rick Oravic receives compensation whether or not he attends council meetings. “He hasn’t been here in eight or nine months,” he said. “He’s not doing his job and I think his pay should be stopped.”

Council said Oravic is paid $150 per month and is only required to attend one meeting a year, which is the borough’s organizational meeting in January. Council voted 4-2 to outsource the borough’s payroll processing to One Source. Stacy McGovern and John Gibbons voted against the move. Council member Joe Gorham said an internal audit revealed the borough needed to get a better hold on its money. By shifting some of the responsibilities of the borough secretary, which included payroll processing, the borough regained more than $16,000 in revenue, Gorham said. The move gave the secretary

more time to pursue delinquent garbage fees, netting $11,000, and to attend 26 hearings, which brought in $5,800, Gorham said. “If you wanted a return on your investment, to me, that’s eight times our investment.” In another matter, a Manhattan Street resident asked council for help with a four-unit nuisance propertyonManhattanStreet.He complained the tenants have garbage piling up on their porches and no curtains in their windows. He also said he had to call 911 several times because of the unruly behavior of some of the tenants. Council said the borough’s code enforcement officer would investigate.

Maguire again seeks delay

By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

SCRANTON – A federal judge has rejected a request from an attorney for The Times Leader seeking release of more letters written on behalf of former Luzerne County Judge Michael Toole. The move came the same day Toole’s attorney filed a brief arguing against any release of additional letters. U.S. Middle District Judge Richard P. Conaboy issued a letter Tuesday addressed to attorney Ralph Kates formally announcing he will not reconsider his prior decision to withhold some letters, primarily those from immediate family, members of Alcoholics Anonymous and Toole’s counselor during his recovery from his alToole cohol addiction. Conaboy had an April 7 meeting with several attorneys seeking the release of 156 letters written to him regarding the sentencing of Toole on corruption charges and agreed to release most of the letters. But he decided some contained information that was too personal or detailed about Toole’s alcoholism to justify making them public. He also decided members of Alcoholics Anonymous should be allowed to retain their anonymity and would not release their letters. Kates then wrote a letter asking Conaboy to reconsider his decision and release all letters, arguing they contained information Conaboy used to make his sentencing decision, and that some information could be redacted if necessary. Conaboy’s reply issued Tuesday said “this was not an easy determination to make,” but that he would stick to his original decision. He also suggested any further efforts to have the letters released “would have to be done in a formal matter by appropriate motions” rather than through the less formal letter Kates had submitted. Toole’s attorney, Frank Nocito, had argued at the April 7 meeting that the letters should be kept private to protect the anonymity of AA members, and to protect confidential medical information regarding Toole. In an official brief filed Tuesday, he reiterated those arguments. Nocito cited case law, contending the release of such information is up to the judge, who must balance the value of public release against the reasons for withholding such release. Conaboy’s decision to release most, but not all letters “reflects the court balancing of factors for and against access,” and should not be reconsidered, Nocito argued.

WILKES-BARRE – Wilkes-Barre city once again is advising all candidates seeking office in the upcoming primary election that placing campaign signs along public rights-of-way is strictly prohibited.

Former Luzerne County Redevelopment Authority member William Maguire asked for another delay in his sentencing on corruption charges, potentially pushing the sentencing a total of 17 months from the originally set date. Maguire pleaded guilty in October 2009 to charges he accepted $1,400 from a contractor who did business with the authority. The money was supposed to be a reimbursement for a trip Maguire took for authority business with other authority members. Under federal sentencing guidelines, Maguire faces four to 10 months in prison, but his attorneys have repeatedly sought extensions on the hearing date, first set for Jan. 25, 2010. The most recent delay pushed the sentencing to April 18, but on Tuesday, attorney Frank Nocito filed a motion for another delay “for at least 60 days.” Noting the prosecution does not oppose the motion, Nocito cites the same reasons for the delay mentioned in past motions, noting Maguire is cooperating with other federal investigations.

Source of leaks in DeNaples probe ‘unknown’ In casino-license probe, Pa. high court sends grand jury case to attorney general. By MARK SCOLFORO Associated Press

HARRISBURG — The state Supreme Court unsealed a report late Monday in which a special prosecutor concluded he could not firmly determine the source of grand jury leaks in a casino-licensing investigation, and the justices referred the matter to the attorney general’s office. The prosecutor, Albert G. Blakey, said he “must acknowledge that he has developed no credible

evidence to establish the source of leaks that were reported” and said much of the material could have origDeNaples inated from witnesses who were not sworn to secrecy. Blakey said the most likely source of information to reporters for The Associated Press, The Morning Call of Allentown and the Philadelphia Daily News were two state troopers and a Dauphin County assistant district attorney. The troopers and prosecutor were involved in a grand jury in-

vestigation into potential perjury during the casino-application process by Louis DeNaples as he sought a license for what became Mount Airy Casino Resort. Blakey, a former York County judge, said the three denied they divulged any grand jury secrets, assertions the four reporters corroborated. The Pennsylvania Shield Law, he said, prevented him from asking the journalists directly for the source of their information, leading him to produce an “inconclusive and unsatisfactory’’ result and recommend the investigation be abandoned. The journalists reported on information, Blakey said, that he be-

lieves was subject to grand jury secrecy. “A good example of (that) is the initial articles which reported not only that the purpose of the proceedings was to see if DeNaples had committed perjury, but specifically that he committed perjury in his application and testimony to the gaming board with respect to his alleged ties to ... members of organized crime,’’ Blakey wrote. He said evidence of leaks of grand jury information was contained in news accounts, and reporters acknowledged they received information from people familiar with the investigation or from anonymous sources. David M. Erdman, editor and

vice president of The Morning Call, said the shield law preserves the free flow of information. “In this case, we believe by allowing our reporter to do his work, the public benefited by understanding the nature of the grand jury investigation,’’ Erdman said. Both Blakey and the Supreme Court were critical of how the Dauphin County district attorney’s office handled the grand jury proceedings, from announcing the hearing schedule on the Internet to having witnesses wait in a hallway where reporters congregated. “Although (he) proved unable to identify with reasonable certi-

tude the source(s) of the leaks, he did expose a grand jury process, external to the actual investigation and deliberation of the grand jury, which was avoidable, inexplicable, and created an atmosphere where a breach of grand jury secrecy became all but inevitable,” Castille wrote. Dauphin County District Attorney Ed Marsico charged DeNaples, a wealthy Dunmore businessman with banking and garbage disposal interests, with four counts of perjury. He dropped the charges in April 2009, citing problems with the evidence. At that point, DeNaples had agreed to transfer ownership of the casino to his daughter.

HARRISBURG — A bill in the state Senate that would allow more children to attend private schools in Pennsylvania with taxpayer help is encountering trouble. Gov. Tom Corbett briefly addressed Republican senators behind closed doors Tuesday after some senators said it wasn’t clear whether the bill had enough support to pass or whether the governor supports it. The bill had been scheduled for a Senate vote hours after hundreds of private school students, shepherded by parents and teachers, rallied at the Capitol for its

ators. But Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi says Corbett expressed support for the bill, but Pileggi says it’ll need to undergo some changes. The bill is supported by most Republicans and possibly a few Democrats. It would create one of the nation’s farthest-reaching school-voucher programs in the country, if not the biggest. Supporters say the bill will help families get their children out of struggling or unsafe public schools, although detractors say it will be very costly for taxpayers while doing little, if anything, to improve the quality of public education or student test scores. The bill’s chief sponsor, Sen. Jeffrey Piccola, R-Dauphin, said the bill might possibly end up

The bill is projected to cost taxpayers $730 million in the first four years, when it would expand to serve more children. One Republican, Sen. Pat Vance of Cumberland County, has said she would not vote for the bill because of the cost. Sen.

sure the law is obeyed. Candidates were asked specific questions on how they would handle neighbor disputes and if they have experience in mediation among contractors and businesses. Winder said he would have to determine who is being honest, while O’Donnell said he would urge neighbors to solve the problem themselves before coming to court. Cronauer said that as a longtime contractor he has plenty of experience regarding mediations, while Urban said he had plenty of mediation experience, as well, citing the county’s recent reassessment. Candidates were also asked

how they would handle the ever-present drug problem and high crime rates in the city. Smith said he would challenge young people to not do drugs, getting involved in the community through programs like Drug Abuse Resistance Education, while Henry said he could only apply the law appropriately to each case.

stated Bellas had told an officer that if Edwardsville police arrived in the emergency room they would “have to wait,” the suit says. Bellas denies the comment. The incident led to discipline action that Bellas perceived as “egregious and unique.” She attempted to switch to per diem status but was denied. Ultimately, the suit says, “Bellas was

forced to constructively resign her position, out of fear of repercussions, an intolerable work environment and a clear lack of appropriate representation protecting her interests.” The suit contends she was targeted and pushed into leaving because she was a veteran employee with a higher salary than new hires. The suit seeks $75,000 in damages.

Each candidate said his experience in his respective field has prepared him for the open spot, in hopes to restore trust and integrity to Luzerne County.

A woman lays down a flower Tuesday during the commemoration ceremonies for the 66th anniversary of the liberation of former Nazi concentration camp Mittelbau-Dora near Nordhausen, Germany. Hitler’s V-2 rocket was produced by slave labor from the concentration camp.

NEW YORK — The world’s largest passenger aircraft clipped a much smaller commuter plane on a dark, wet tarmac at New York City’s Kennedy Airport, spinning it like a toy as hundreds of passengers sat in both planes. No one was injured. The two jets — an Airbus A380 operated by Air France and a Bombardier CRJ700 regional jet — were towed away after the collision around 8 p.m. Monday and will be inspected to determine the extent of their damage, a Federal Aviation Administration spokesman said. “This wasn’t just two airplanes bumping together. The Air France plane really creamed the regional jet,” said Bill Voss, president of the Flight Safety Foundation, an industry funded group

that promotes global aviation safety. The Airbus A380 was taxiing out to a runway when its left wingtip crashed into the tail of the regional jet, operated by Comair for Delta Air Lines and stopped on an intersecting taxiway, whipping the smaller plane around nearly 90 degrees. Air France said 485 passengers and 25 crew members were aboard the Parisbound Flight 7. The Comair flight was carrying 62 passengers and four crew members. The National Transportation Safety Board will investigate, board spokeswoman Kelly Nantel said. An audio recording of conversations between the JFK controller responsible for coordinating the movement of planes on the tarmac and the two aircraft indicates the Comair plane was

trying to exit the taxiway but may have stopped short because of congestion on the ramp — the area where planes park, Voss said. In the dark and rain, "both pilots and controllers would have been confronted with a sea of flashing lights and reflec-

tions which could partly explain why the Air France pilot may not have seen the regional jet," Voss said. The superjumbo Airbus is so big, its wing nearly had enough clearance to make it over the smaller plane — but not quite.

The higher rating is an open acknowledgement of what was widely understood already: The nuclear accident at the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant is the second-worst in history. It does not signal a worsening of the plant’s status in recent days or any new health dangers.

Remains human, say cops Police in New York confirm that remains found this week during a search for possible victims of a serial killer are human. That makes 10 sets of remains found along a beach highway in recent months. The first remains found Monday morning were about 1.5 miles east of the entrance to Jones Beach on Long Island. Later in the day, a skull was found several miles away. The findings in Nassau County, outside New York City, come after police in neighboring Suffolk County uncovered eight sets of human remains since December along the same highway. Police ended an extensive search of the area Tuesday, but say they could return. CHESTER, PA.

$2.5M bail for teen suspect

A judge wanting to send a message about violence in a crime-ridden Philadelphia suburb jailed a 16-year-old shooting suspect on $2.5 million bail on Monday, three days after a guard spotted him with a gun outside a social hall where a shooting killed two teens and wounded eight other people. Kanei Daniel Avery was charged with aggravated assault and related charges following Friday’s shooting in Chester, a city outside Philadelphia where violence was so pervasive last year the mayor declared a state of emergency and instituted a 9 p.m. curfew in some high-crime areas.

Shuttles get places to retire When space shuttle Atlantis returns from its final mission in July, it’s coming home to stay at Kennedy Space Center. NASA Administrator Charles Bolden made the announcement that the Visitors Center here will get to keep and display Atlantis for visitors and for the thousands of Kennedy Space Center workers who spent their careers launching the shuttles into orbit over the past three decades. U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, a Democrat from Brevard County, had pushed hard to keep Atlantis. As expected, Bolden also announced that shuttle Discovery will go to the Smithsonian Institution’s Air & Space Museum in Washington, D.C. The Smithsonian in turn will give up Enterprise, a full-scale shuttle mockup that never made it into orbit, which will go to New York City, to be displayed on board the retired aircraft carrier Intrepid. Endeavour, the final active shuttle, will go to the California Science Center in Los Angeles.

$38B spending cut deal nears

Despite dissension, White House, GOP predict passage of legislation that prevented shutdown. By DAVID ESPO AP Special Correspondent

WASHINGTON — Despite scattered opposition from both ends of the political spectrum, House Republicans and the White House both predicted approval Tuesday for the hard-bargained $38 billion package of spending cuts that narrowly avoided a government shutdown. House Democratic leaders remained non-committal on the legislation, sealed late last week in negotiations that excluded them. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, touted the plan somewhat cautiously, saying it was “far from perfect and we need to do much more if we’re serious about creating new jobs.” In a posting on his website, Boehner said the measure calls for the largest non-

VATICAN CITY — The Vatican has ordered a Belgian bishop who resigned last year after admitting he had sexually abused his nephew to no longer act as a priest in public and warned that he may risk further church sanctions. The Vatican on Tuesday clarified the punishment against the former Bruges Bishop Roger Vangheluwe after Belgian bishops reported that Vangheluwe had merely been sent outside Belgium for spiritual and psychological Vangheluwe counseling, a seemingly cushy punishment given the seriousness of the crime. The decision was the first known application of the Vatican’s new sex abuse norms approved last year giving the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith jurisdiction to investigate and punish bishops — not just priests — who abuse minors. The ultimate possible penalty: defrocking. Previously, when bishops committed canonical crimes the pope dealt with them by delegating the cases to various Vatican offices or the Roman Rota, a Vatican court. The Vatican has long been accused by sex abuse victims of letting off the hook bishops who themselves molested minors or helped cover up the crimes of priestswhodid.Thechangeinthe norms was designed at least in theory to let the Congregation more easily go after abusive bishops and cardinals. Victims’ advocates, however, said children will remain at risk as long as the Vatican declines to go after bishops who allowed the abuse to continue by moving pedophile priests around from parish to parish rather than turning them in to police.

Strains in NATO campaign show as new battles flare in Libya Diplomats will meet today in Qatar for a meeting that aims to coordinate a response to conflict. By SEBASTIAN ABBOT Associated Press

AJDABIYA, Libya — Moammar Gadhafi’s forces fired rockets along the eastern front line and shelled the besieged city of Misrata on Tuesday as France and Britain urged their NATO allies, including the United States, to intensify the campaign against the Libyan regime. But hopes for a rebel military victory have faded and diplomatic efforts to find a solution were picking up momentum. Today, diplomats will meet in the tiny

Gulf nation of Qatar for a meeting of the Libya contact group, which aims to coordinate an international response to the conflict. The Libyan rebels have proven to be far weaker and outnumbered by Gadhafi’s forces and without NATO airstrikes, they could face a crushing military defeat. So any realistic rebel hopes of unseating Gadhafi now rest firmly on international political pressure combined with sustained NATO airstrikes. French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said NATO was not doing enough to ease the pressure on Misrata. Elsewhere in the Middle East: • In Egypt, prosecutors ordered the detention of former president Hosni Mubarak’s powerful sons for 15 days as

allegations of corruption and the abuse of their authority are investigated, state television said early Wednesday. • In Syria, pro-government gunmen attacked two villages Tuesday in a move to crush a popular uprising against President Bashar Assad as the country’s leading pro-democracy group urged the Arab League to impose sanctions on the regime. The White House joined in the international condemnation. • In Yemen, tens of thousands, including uniformed officers, demonstrated Tuesday against President Ali Abdullah Saleh and condemned a mediation proposal by neighboring Gulf countries that called for the leader to step down, but guaranteed his immunity from prosecution.

Man, 40, allegedly raped pre-teen

Girl, 12 at the time, alleges she had sex with John Wayne Butz at least 30 times. By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

HANOVER TWP. – A man was arraigned Tuesday on charges he raped a young girl from 2008 to 2009. The girl, then 12 years old, alleges she had sexual relations with John Wayne Butz, 40, at

least 30 times at various locations in the region. Although not related, the girl called Butz “daddy” and Butz Butz called the girl his “daughter,” according to charges filed. Township police and state police at Wyoming charged Butz with rape of a child, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, stat-

utory sexual assault, aggravated indecent assault, indecent assault and corruption of minors. He was arraigned by District Judge Joseph Halesey in Hanover Township and jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $40,000 bail. The charges were filed after a 13-month investigation. According to the criminal complaint: Butz and his girlfriend were friends with the girl’s mother. They started babysitting the girl

in late 2003 or early 2004. When the girl turned 10, Butz asked her if she wanted to be his girlfriend. She replied, “I guess,” and was told by Butz not to tell anyone, the complaint says. Investigators said the girl told them that when she turned 12, they began kissing and that evolved to sexual relations. She said she first had intercourse with Butz in a camper at a campground in Columbia County, the complaint says.

Hearing for homicide suspect closed to public Attorneys for James Strong, charged in 1983 death of John Strock, made request. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A Luzerne County judge closed a hearing to the public Tuesday, after a request was made to have attorneys withdrawn from a capital murder trial. Judge Thomas Burke closed the “in camera”-- or in private --

hearing to the public and media, after attorneys for James Strong made the request. Burke said the initial motion for the hearing, as well as any transcripts and anything else related to Tuesday’s hearing, will be sealed and not available for the public to view. Strong, 57, is charged in the 1983 shooting death of John Strock near a rest stop on Interstate 81 in Dorrance Township. Strock, of Glenside, had allegedly picked up Strong and

Strong’s onetime co-defendant, James Alexander, as the two men were hitchhiking. Burke said he closed Tuesday’s hearing due to the close proximity the hearing has to Strong’s May 9 scheduled trial, and because of confidentiality between Strong and his attorneys, Shelley Centini, William Watt and Brian Corcoran. Burke said the hearing would also include information of aspects of the attorneys’ trial strategy, which also called for the hearing to be closed.

Prosecutors Jim McMonagle and Maureen Collins were also asked to leave the courtroom Tuesday. Filed Tuesday and during the past few weeks have been subpoenas requesting the appearance of several witnesses at Strong’s May 9 trial. Strong’s attorneys had previously asked their client’s trial be continued due to a scheduling conflict with a mitigations specialist. Burke has not yet made a ruling on that request.

Law would ban nine chemical at its next meeting April 28 and, substances found in bath salts if passed, the ordinance would take effect 10 days later on May 8. and other substances. At Cronauer’s invitation, CarBy MATT HUGHES mhughes@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – City Council will seek to ban the sale and possession of bath salts and other designer drugs by early May. Councilman Rick Cronauer said at a council work session Tuesday that an ordinance banning nine chemical substances found in bath salts, synthetic marijuana and salvia divinorum, a psychoactive drug, will be placed on the agenda for first reading at council’s Thursday meeting. City spokesman Drew McLaughlin said the ordinance, in its draft form, would place a comprehensive ban on the sale, gifting and consumption of the substances named in the ordinance, with a fine of up to $500 and incarceration up to 30 days assessable upon conviction. Each day a violation occurs can be considered a separate violation under the ordinance, McLaughlin said. “Basically, it allows law enforcement to charge the offense of using bath salts,” he said. If passed on first reading, council would vote on the ordinance

men F. Ambrosino, CEO of Wyoming Valley Alcohol and Drug Services, attended the work session Tuesday to brief council about bath salt abuse in the area and the possibility of banning them. Ambrosino said he has already seen clients with bath salts abuse problems and called the drug’s active ingredient “one of the most powerful I’ve seen in my 38 years on the job.” “The urge to use once we begin using bath salts is instantaneous,” Ambrosino said. “Addiction is quick, and in 99 and twothirds percent of the situations is going to result in violent behavior.” He gave council information sheets about bath salts and drug use in Luzerne County as well as several model ordinances banning bath salts and synthetic drugs. He recommended the city pass an ordinance banning the substances found in synthetic drugs, though he warned it probably wouldn’t end all the city’s problems with designer drugs. “When a chemical is declared illegal, the product doesn’t go away,” Ambrosino said, noting that heroin is the most commonly abused illegal drug in the area.

Hearing postponed after additional charge filed vs. man accused of impersonating cop By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A preliminary hearing for a constable accused of impersonating a police officer was about to begin Tuesday when the prosecutor filed an additional charge. Officer Richard Harding amended the criminal complaint against Michael Patrick Yazurlo III, 40, adding a false imprisonment offense to the four other charges -- impersonating a public servant, disorderly conduct, illegal parking and careless driving. The added charge prompted Yazurlo’s attorney, Joseph Sklarosky Sr., to request a postponement that was granted by District Judge Martin Kane in WilkesBarre Central Court. The new hearing is on June 14. The new charge is a second-degree misdemeanor resulting in a

total of three misdemeanors against Yazurlo. The two traffic offenses are summary violations. The new charge accuses Yazurlo of unlawfully restraining Kelly Alexander and interfering with her freedom during the alleged incident that began as a traffic dispute on Public Square on Jan. 14. According to the criminal complaint: Alexander told police she merged onto Public Square and had to brake hard when Yazurlo, operating a Nissan Xterra, cut her off. Alexander blew the horn. Alexander said Yazurlo cut her off a second time, flashing a gold badge out his window when she pulled onto East Market Street.

Gate of Heaven students given 4 Catholic school options for next year By EILEEN GODIN Times Leader Correspondent

DALLAS – A special meeting for Gate of Heaven families on Tuesday night presented options they have for continuing their children’s Catholic education once the school closes at the end of the school year. On Monday night, the Diocese of Scranton announced Gate of Heaven, along with St. Mary As-

sumption School in Pittston, Sacred Heart School in Carbondale and Marian Catholic School in Scranton will close after the 20102011 school year. Parents filed into the school’s gym looking for answers and choices. Gate of Heaven Principal Abe Simon said he sympathized with parents and explained that the bishop used specific criteria, such as funding, location and how close to capacity the school was for choosing the schools to close. In a grave voice, he said he understood it is an emotional time for all but he wanted to do his best to ease the transition by helping

get students placed in the school of the parents’ choosing. Gate of Heaven’s closing will affect197 students. Parents who desire to continue a Catholic education for their children can choose from St. Nick/St. Mary in WilkesBarre, Good Shepherd Academy in Kingston, Wyoming Area Catholic School in Exeter, and Our Lady Of Peace in Clarks Green serving Tunkhannock. Forms were handed out for parents to fill out with their first and second choices and must be returned by Friday. Simon said that early next week the forms would be sorted and students would be

wastewater. About 600 people showed up, many against the plant, but the council set the plan in motion anyway. That galvanized anti-drilling forces. After a bitter campaign, the town’s pro-drilling mayor, Jody Smith, was ousted and an antidrilling slate swept into office. Less than 15 miles away is the rural town of Dish, population about 200, where Mayor Calvin Tillman raised a national ruckus about gas drilling. The Dish area now has about 60 drilling wells, gas production pads and rigs, 12 pipelines, a treating facility and a compressor station. Cancer-causing benzene, sometimes in levels considered dangerous to human health, were reported last year by Texas environmental regulators who took air tests in the Dish area. Residents believe at least one domestic water well was contaminated and that gas operations killed horses on a ranch not far from the compressor — a claim the gas companies dispute. Tillman, whose home is about a quarter-mile from the compressor, was afraid for his two sons’ health. Bad drilling odors coincided with nightly spikes in air emissions from the compression station, Tillman said on his blog, and were so bad that both of his youngsters were often awakened in the middle of the night with severe nosebleeds. By February, Tillman decided to leave the community in which he had invested time, money and his heart. It was tough, he said. “But it would be a whole lot tougher if my kids came down with some strange illness in five years,’’ he added.

Confrontations in the North New York, sitting atop the vast Marcellus Shale, has enacted a drilling moratorium that holds the wealth at bay while new regulations are drawn up. New Yorkers — some wary, some perhaps jealous — watch as landowners in Pennsylvania, Texas and other states get rich while regulators struggle with explosions, spills and tainted water. “People that don’t own the land are saying, ‘Let’s slow down and learn from the mistakes of other places,’ ’’ said Matthew Ryan, mayor of Binghamton, N.Y., in shale country about 70 miles northwest of Damascus. “Those that own land are anxious to ‘drill, baby, drill.’’’ Binghamton hosted the EPA last September for the last of four national hearings to get public input on the environmental and

assigned to their new schools. He is hoping to be able to notify parents of their children’s placement by Easter. “We will try to accommodate your first choices,” he said. He assured parents the other schools within the Holy Redeemer Regional System have room to accommodate the extra students. Asked by parents how the extra students will affect class size, Simon answered there will be room for the students. Parents from as far away as Tunkhannock to the Back Mountain seemed surprised by the swiftness of the process. Many

asked for more time, “at least a week,” to make their decisions, saying they want time to review other schools’ accommodations, curriculum, class sizes, and bus transportation. Simon said the tight timeline was an effort to alleviate stress on families waiting to have their children placed, as well as on staff members. Faculty will not know where they will be placed until June, he said. “I can ask, but if no letter is sent from me, the deadline stands,” he said.

public health impacts of fracking as the agency prepares for a national study on drinking water impacts. EPA said 3,500 people crowded its hearings in Denver, Fort Worth, Texas, Canonsburg, Pa., and Binghamton. In New York, opponents carried signs saying “Kids can’t drink gas,’’ while supporters, including union workers eager for jobs, chanted “Pass gas now!’’ “If you get a gathering of people together, there’s tension and raised voices,’’ said Ryan, who favors a more cautious approach. In rural Pennsylvania, where nearly 3,000 gas wells have been drilled in the Marcellus Shale since 2005 and tens of thousands more are planned, the tension is leaving deep fissures in once tight-knit communities. Schweighofer, a 54-year-old mother of five, founded the Northern Wayne Property Owners Alliance, more than 1,300 landowners who negotiated a master lease with New York Citybased Hess Corp. to drill for natural gas in Pennsylvania’s scenic northeastern tip. She got several death threats from anti-drilling residents or ac-

tivists — one woman declared she was “gonna shoot you with my thirty-aught-six” and a man advocated in an online post that “one well-placed bullet” be put in Schweighofer’s head. Schweighofer began sleeping with a gun at her bedside. One member of her group, 70year-old Mike Uretsky, says some neighbors don’t talk to him since he signed the lease. Yet, the retired New York University professor says he understands where the other side is coming from. “Everybody’s interested in safety, aesthetics, community, quality of life,’’ he said. “The interpretations of those things, and where the boundaries are, differ from one person to another. The frustrating thing is people can’t sit down and talk and say, ‘Hey, how do we work together?’ ’’ The Susquehanna County village of Dimock, population 1,400, is another prime example of the split over drilling. State regulators blame Houston-based Cabot Oil & Gas Corp. for contaminating residential water wells with methane gas. Some Dimock residents were able to light their tap water on fire — just as Colorado home-

dents, said Good Shepherd Academy was having an open house at 6:30 p.m. Thursday for anyone interested. The Dallas and Lake-Lehman school districts will help with providing transportation. Tunkhannock will help with students needing to get to Our Lady of Peace. Marge Dewees of Dallas asked if representatives from other schools could come and give a presentation on their facilities. Simon said he did not know if that was possible, but he could get pamphlets from the other schools. owners did in a dramatic scene in the Academy Award-nominated HBO documentary “Gasland,’’ about the effects of fracking. Some homeowners with fouled water have become highprofile anti-drilling activists, suing Cabot and taking their case to media outlets worldwide. Two years of negative publicity brought them a backlash. When Pennsylvania regulators ordered Cabot to spend $12 million to provide municipal water to the 19 affected homes, prodrilling residents and businesses banded together as “Enough Already’’ and circulated a petition that 1,600 water line opponents signed. State regulators relented and settled with Cabot for $4.1 million, enough to pay the homeowners twice the value of their ruined homes. The homeowners feel sandbagged by the community. “You want to feel like a really lonely, lonely person?’’ asked Scott Ely, one whose water well was ruined. “Move to Carter Road.’’ He said people he’s known his whole life have turned against him. “They think we are moneyhungry ... we’re chasing the almighty buck,’’ he said of the settlement money. He and the other homeowners had not asked for money and were content with the earlier plans to have clean water piped to them after nearly two years of bathing, washing, cooking and cleaning with trucked-in supplies. “We didn’t want this.’’ Dimock attorney Bill Aileo, who helped lead the petition drive, believes the benefits of drilling have been lost amid an isolated case of contamination. “I don’t think anybody’s abandoned them. I think they’ve become somewhat detached from reality,’’ he said. About 60 miles away, across the New York state line, business at Grady Avant’s Narrowsburg coffee shop plummeted after a false rumor circulated that he and his partner had signed a gas company lease. He opposes drilling. His regulars — largely opposed to drilling — stopped coming. People shot him dirty looks and some called to complain. “It took weeks for us to undo most of it,’’ he said, but eventually, business returned to normal. Since then, Avant, 39, has helped start FrackAlert, a group that seeks to shift the debate to the larger political arena “to ease local tensions,’’ he said.

Susan Ferraro

Stephanie O’Leary

April 10, 2011

April 12, 2011

Born in Sugar Notch, on August 24, 1914, she was a daughter of Italian-American immigrants, Salvatore and Maurgerite Lanuti, and the fourth of seven children. After losing her mother at age 7, Susan worked hard, along with her father, and siblings, to keep her family together. Her incredible work ethic, dedication to family, selflessness, and deep-rooted values began from her early experiences, and remained with her throughout her life. It was with great pride that she retold stories from her youth, passing on tremendous life lessons that will be carried in the hearts of her children, grandchildren, and greatgrandchildren for many years to come. Her family eventually moved to Luzerne, which is where she met her beloved husband, Anthony. They were married in 1938, and together went on to own and operate a general store and a construction company, until his untimely death at age 47. Susan continued to devote herself to raising her two children, Larry and JoAnn, and remained faithful to the memory of her husband. An avid gardener, and skilled cook, Susan delighted her family and friends with savory dishes, using many of her garden treasurers. She was also known for her famous confectionary creations that were much anticipated at family gatherings. Always cooking from her heart, Susan often celebrated her love for others through the foods she prepared for them. Susan was an active member of UNICO for several decades and for-

merly served at president. She forever remained dedicated to its mission of service to others. Susan was always eager to help those in need, had a heart of gratitude, and an unwavering faith in God. She was a gift to all who knew her, especially to her family, who will hold her forever in their hearts. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by siblings Pete, Mary, Marty, and Frank. Susan is survived by her brother Sam Lanuti, Michigan; sister Louise Bettachini, Jessup, Pa.; son Larry Ferraro and wife Florence, Chester Springs, Pa.; and daughter, JoAnn Berrettini, Forty Fort. She will be sorely missed by her seven grandchildren, and 11 greatgrandchildren. Funeral will be held at 9:30 a.m. Thursday, from the Anthony Recupero Funeral Home, 406 Susquehanna Ave., West Pittston, with a Mass of Christian Burial at 10 a.m. in Holy Family Parish, Bennett Street, Luzerne, with Father Michael Zipay officiating.

ark D. Thomas, 54, of South Grant Street, Wilkes-Barre, died Monday, April 11, 2011, at the WilkesBarre General Hospital.

Mansion visit thrills Carters By MATT HUGHES mhughes@timesleader.com

AIMEE DILGER PHOTOS/THE TIMES LEADER

Rosalynn and Jimmy Carter look at auction items up for bid as the audience places bids for merchandise the former president and first lady donated.

Anthony Randazzo chats with bidder Richard Zath.

Plains, Ga. The Carters donated many autographed personal items for the auction, including pieces of clothing, books that they wrote, campaign memorabilia, and paintings, including one that President Carter painted himself. Auctioneer Wayne Steele invited President Carter to auction off the painting himself because it was close to his heart. The painting, depicting a pond

and a rowboat near the Carters’ home, sold for $15,000 – the highest bid of the auction. The auction of the 167 items raised more than $64,000 for the nonprofit, and the $25 admission for the 250 auction participants raised another $5,000. Richard Zach, who lives in West Pittston and runs an antiques and collectibles shop in New York City, said before the auction that it was difficult to predict which items might bring the largest bids “because it’s such an unusual auction, the fact that it’s presidential memorabilia and that the President and Mrs. Carter are actually present. I believe it might be the first time that a living president is at his own auction. ... We’re making history here, maybe,” he said. Patty Gilmour, wife of Wilkes University President Tim Gil-

mour, said she was hoping to take back one of the hydrangeas from the Carters’ garden to plant in the university’s gardens. Unfortunately, many people went home empty-handed. Barbara Jablowski, 48, of Wilkes-Barre Township, had her eye on Camp David cocktail napkins that she and her husband, John Jr., could display at their home bar. But it was Corinne and Brett Feldman, of Macungie, who took those home for a bid of $230. “We love auctions and we love presidents,” Corinne said when asked what brought them to Plains Township.

County,” she agreed, because “no one had as nice a uniform as I did,” Carter joked. The 39th president of the United States shared the personal story during remarks before an auction to which he and Rosalynn donated some of their personal possessions, all to raise money for the Plains Better Hometown Project, a nonprofit focused on a cause close to their hearts – improving their hometown of Plains, Ga.

Last year, they received a phone call from a friend of the Carters who runs a historic inn in Plains, Ga., and told them the Carters wanted to have dinner with them and discuss ways to raise money for the Plains Better Hometown Program. The Cooks came up with the Plains Helping Plains auction idea, Cook said. Before the auction began, Plains Township commissioners and the Plains Lions presented gifts and plaques to the Carters, and the Carters presented plaques to the Cooks, making them honorary citizens of

WILKES-BARRE – Just five years after the Frederick Stegmaier Mansion found new life as a bed-and-breakfast, the historic home played host to its first presidential guests Tuesday night. Former President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, hosted a reception at the mansion and spent the night in its Amelia Suite on Tuesday after an auction of their former belongings in Plains Township. “The mansion is just overwhelming, we were amazed when we came in,” Carter said, joking, “our bedroom was so beautiful I hesitated to turn down the sheets.” The former president said the historical character of the Victorian mansion, which was painstakingly restored over five years by owner Joe Matteo, is the same quality he is working to preserve in his own hometown of Plains, Ga. The Carters’ donated 167 items sold Tuesday at Cook and Cook Auctions in Plains Township. The more than $70,000 raised will benefit the Plains Better Hometown, a nonprofit organization working to pre-

serve buildings in Plains, Ga. Carter said the auction was “exciting and very gratifying for us; just the warmth and friendship and camaraderie, just because we share the same name.” He said it was hard to watch one of his first paintings cross the auction block, as well as a Trikke three-wheeled scooter he used for exercise. The manufacturer has given him a new one, he said, but added, “I still like the one we sold best.” Matteo said he and his staff spent months preparing for the former president’s visit. About 100 gathered for a cocktail reception at the mansion after the auction. “It’s a tremendous honor for Joe Matteo,” Wilkes-Barre Mayor Thomas Leighton said at the reception. “Joe’s worked hard to get to this point, and to have the president stay here is a true tribute to Joe and the city.” “It certainly is an honor for Wilkes-Barre and certainly for the Stegmaier Mansion,” said Wyoming Valley Historical Society Director Tony Brooks, who noted “Mr. Carter is in a long line of presidential visits to the area, starting with Rutherford B. Hayes,” who stayed in what is now Wyoming in 1878. Former President Jimmy Carter jokes with Joe Matteo at a reception at the Stegmaier Mansion. Former first lady Rosalynn Carter is between them.

OTHER OPINION: FUNDING REQUEST

State rail plans on right track

HE LITTLE ENGINE That Could is a venerable children’s story that tells how hard work and commitment can conquer even a high mountain. Unfortunately, certain Republican governors have become the Big Engine That Couldn’t when it comes to what their governments can do. Several don’t want highspeed rail and have rejected federal funding to lay the groundwork for it. Among those to hook up to this steam engine bound for the past is Florida Gov. Rick Scott. Florida was awarded $2.4 billion for a Tampa-to-Orlando rail project as part of President Barack Obama’s high-speed rail initiative, but Scott canceled it in February, on the dubious grounds that the project would have been too costly for

state taxpayers going forward. In truth, his decision has cost Florida jobs. But Florida’s loss can be Pennsylvania’s gain. Although Gov. Tom Corbett is a Republican, he sees the pragmatic advantage of seeking a slice of the federal funding spurned by others. The welcome news is that the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation has applied for $248 million of the funds that Florida gave up. The money would be used to upgrade five signal or switch groupings between Harrisburg and Philadelphia, which would allow trains to hit 125 mph and cut travel time by 20 minutes. Competition for the money will be stiff, but at least Pennsylvania is thinking, as did the Little Engine, I-think-I-can, Ithink-I-can. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Call for consequence coupled with hope for redemption THE URGE to demonize former Luzerne County Judge Michael Toole is as obvious as it is visceral. The man sold his office for a Jersey Shore beach house, after all. It sounds like a bad idea for a reality TV show. Of course, “bad idea” and “reality TV show” tend to be redundant. But unlike any other felon nabbed by the feds in this, Our Age of Endless Corruption, with Toole we were given a glimpse into the more complex man others knew B.C. (Before Conviction). This thanks to U.S. Middle District Judge Richard P. Conaboy’s decision to release most of the letters written to him in defense of Toole prior to sentencing. They are worth perusing, even if you’re already convinced Toole deserved everything he got, as I am. The letters paint a picture of a man of compassion. He made the trip from Wyoming Valley to the Hazleton area repeatedly when is wife’s parents faced life-threatening medical emergencies. They paint a picture of a man of generosity and thoughtfulness, one who surprised his father-in-law with concert tickets to see his favorite performer, Johnny Cash, and who

They paint a picture of a man of personal resolution in the wake of his guilty plea, who overcame a long addiction to alcohol despite the public scrutiny and stress his case caused. He stayed sober and got a job, even though he had to travel to State College to secure it. At times, the letters try to shift the blame to the messenger in this drama. “The media has gone to great lengths to group my brother with other charged judges and Luzerne County officials whose offenses in no way are related to the ones that Michael has pleaded to,” Toole’s older brother wrote. “It devastates our family to see him profiled and portrayed as someone he is not,” his sister wrote. At times, the letters are ironic. “Above all, he has been law abiding and honest,” an uncle wrote. “(I) have always known him to be of the

Allowing toilet in yard mars township’s character

utmost character and reputation,” a cousin commented. A current boss cites Toole’s high work ethic: he never misses a shift, accounts for every penny, arrives early on days he knows the workload will be heavy. They are compelling letters. Collectively, they let Toole’s life unfold before you in a series of vignettes. If this were a TV show and these letters were all you knew of him, you would root for the man to overcome his travails. And frankly, we should do that anyway. Society is best served if Toole emerges from his 30-month sentence truly chastised and ready to redeem himself. But the letters fail in their goal to justify leniency (which Conaboy did not grant) for a simple reason. They paint a man who did what most of us do every day: work hard, be there for family and friends, overcome adversities and enjoy successes. Of course, most of us do these things out of the public eye, simply because it is the right thing to do, the way you ought to live. And if we want to go to the beach? Well, funny thing: We still have to pay.

airview Township Zoning Board recently denied an appeal of its decision to allow a toilet to be placed in a resident’s yard. The neighbor stated this freestanding toilet would be used as a “planter”. What a great idea! If we are lucky, more folks in our township will place toilets in their yards, too. Heck, while we are at it, let’s put an old, used mattress next to the toilet for a summer recliner. After all, just like the toilet, a mattress is not specifically addressed in the Fairview Township Zoning Ordinance. I am sure other townships will be jealous and wish they had thought of this creative way to entice prospective buyers to their communities. In the literature received from the township concerning the decision of the Zoning Hearing Board, it states “The purpose of the LDR (low density residential district) in the Zoning Ordinance is to provide for low-density residential neighborhoods that are primarily composed of single-family detached dwellings; to protect these areas from incompatible uses; preserve the attractive historic character of the older areas of the Township.” Is it just me or are used toilets, painted pink or otherwise, placed on lawns compatible with normal uses?

Release of trial letters deserves no extra kudos

he people of Luzerne County need not applaud Judge Richard P. Conaboy for releasing letters to the general public; that’s his job. If those writing letters on Judge Toole’s behalf don’t want those letters open to the public, don’t write them. I have written to many judges, and never intended any of them to be kept from publication. I have written thousands of editorials over the years. I would have applauded if, when former judge MarkCiavarella was found guilty of 12 felonies by a jury, that judge had meted out justice and incarcerated Ciavarella while his appeal process was being heard.

Smoother days ahead on streets, says W-B official City-PennDOT agreement to complete upgrade, including paving of 15 high-need streets

By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE -- City residents can look forward to major infrastructure repairs and street paving upgrades in 2011. The city and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation District 4-0 recently entered into a reimbursement agreement to

pave streets that qualify as federal aid streets. The city recently resumed the street paving program that began in the fall. The project is funded by a Pennsylvania Infrastructure Bank (PIB) loan. Drew McLaughlin, assistant to Mayor Tom Leighton, said streets being paved include Mill Street, from George to Stucker avenues; Gardner Avenue, from Trethaway to the dead end; Matson Avenue, from Scott to Gatti streets; and Parkin Street, from George Avenue to the dead end.

Fonzo gained national attention after she angrily confronted Ciavarella after the conclusion of his trial. She was invited to the judiciary hearing by Baker, who, along with Sen. John Yudichak, D-Plymouth Township, have been fighting for two years to pass legislation that provides additional protections to juveniles. Several bills introduced by Baker would ensure all juveniles are represented by an attorney, regardless of their parents’ income, prohibit shackling of juveniles, require judges to state on the record

McLaughlin said the work will complete the nearly $1 million PIB program that includes the paving of 15 high-need city streets. The Miners Mills and Parsons paving will cost $457,569, McLaughlin said. Also funded by the PIB loan were creek wall repairs at Solomon Creek near Vulcan Street and Laurel Run Creek near Govier Street. That work will be finished as soon as weather permits, McLaughlin said, and will complete the $575,000 wall repair program.

“The inappropriate comments … were not only hurtful, but also they evinced anti-female sentiments by a man who works directly with victimized women everyday in his capacity as a Luzerne County Protection from Abuse Assistant Supervisor,” Lokuta wrote. “His actions, made at my expense, were reminiscent of the racist, sexist and ethnic jokes which have long been used to victimize and to polarize human beings. There is no place for such bigotry in society, and to allow such to persist is to join in its ranks,” she said. Lokuta was removed from the bench in December 2008 by the Court of Judi-

but Ciavarella instead sent him away to a boot-style military camp for four months. “Ed was shackled and cuffed and escorted from the courtroom,” Fonzo told the committee. “I will never forget the look in my son’s eyes when he turned back, looking to me for help. …That look will be burned into my heart and soul for the rest of my life.” Boscola repeatedly wiped away tears as Fonzo recounted her story, describing how the experience changed Ed, a once “free-spirited, loving, happy boy” into a “bitter and resentful, hardened man.” Speaking after the hearing, Boscola said she could not help but get emotional, particularly af-

Re-enactor Bob Mischak prepares to fire a ceremonial cannon during “Rally to the Cause" at Wyoming Seminary Upper School to mark the 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War.

“By using a re-enactor to tell the story, I find it seems much more real because it’s history that happened so long ago,” Rachel Gill said. Her father agreed, saying, “It’s history that tells the story of America.” The Gills talked with Bob Mischak, 61, of Edwardsville, who stood on stage dressed in a Union uniform with an American flag from the period – with 35 stars – behind him. “We hope to bring something new for people to learn,” Mischak said. Fred Walters, director of the Lindhill Institute, welcomed about 40 people to the ceremony, held at the exact hour that federal troops returned fire at Fort Sumter. After the indoor ceremony, a miniature cannon was to be fired on the back campus green area, but it malfunctioned.

Clean it up… Wilkes-Barre has advised all candidates seeking office in the upcoming primary election that placing campaign signs along public rights-of-way is strictly prohibited.

“This ceremony is to remember the brave Americans who defended our ramparts and all patriots who have fought for our country,” Walters said. Kip Nygren, president of Wyoming Seminary and an Army brigadier general and a West Point graduate, gave a historical account of the times leading up to the Civil War. He discussed three significant participants in the Civil War: Union Gen. Abner Doubleday, . Beauregard and Anderson, who all were West Point graduates. He also talked about Capt. Robert Ricketts, who graduated from Sem in 1856 and who played an important role in the Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863 while serving under Doubleday.

No parent should have to live with that for the rest of their life.” Fonzo has been interviewed by several national media outlets since her confrontation with Ciavarella.

HARRISBURG – Gov. Tom Corbett on Tuesday helped launch Pennsylvania’s observance of the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. “The Civil War left an indelible mark on Pennsylvania, and the war could not have been won without the many sacrifices and contributions of its people,” Corbett said. “Nearly 338,000 Pennsylvanians fought and 33,000 died in the Civil War – a staggering number, especially when you consider Pennsylvania had fewer than 3 million residents when the war began.” Fought in July 1863, the Battle of Gettysburg was considered a major turning point and was the only major battle fought in Pennsylvania. Other battles and skirmishes that took place in the state occurred at Hanover, Fairfield, Hunterstown and Monterey Pass. Officials leading Tuesday’s kickoff event also toured the Pennsylvania Civil War Road Show, a traveling exhibition that will visit all 67 counties during the four-year anniversary period. The Road Show will introduce the stories of the Civil War to Pennsylvanians from all walks of life and of all ages.

cial Discipline for misconduct on the bench. Lokuta, in January, asked the state Supreme Court to reconsider its decision to uphold a disciplinary court’s ruling that removed her from office. In a motion for re-argument filed in January, Lokuta questioned the high court’s reasoning in finding that attorney Richard Sprague, a member of the Court of Judicial Discipline that ruled on Lokuta’s case, acted properly when he refused to recuse himself. The former judge argues the Supreme Court also erred in upholding the disciplinary court’s ruling that limited the

In sometimes graphic detail, “Maj. Anderson” described the scene at Fort Sumter, South Carolina, on April12,1861, a scene he called “a bubbling cauldron of anti-union venom.” He said the rebels were screaming for secession and there was “volatile electricity in the air.” “Seeing this, I knew the situation would soon explode into conflict,” the major said. Anderson said the Union troops were grossly undermanned – Fort Sumter was to have 650 soldiers and 120 cannons, but on the day of the attack a mere 85 were under his command and only half the cannons had been delivered. “It was in the early morning hours around 4:30 when across the harbor there was a flash of light and a loud boom,” Anderson said. The confederates across Charleston Harbor had fired on the fortification and “It seemed to us that hell itself had opened up around us,” he said. Anderson said his men fought bravely, but after 34 hours of the rebel bombardment, he surrendered to Confederate Brig. Gen. Pierre Beauregard, a fellow West Point graduate, under terms Anderson said were “generous and honorable.” David Gill, 51, of Luzerne, attended the ceremony with his daughter, Rachel, 19, a student at Wilkes University.

He said other streets paved under the K-Route program include Wilkes-Barre Boulevard, North Main Street, North Sherman Street, South Franklin Street and Northampton Street. When completed, the K-Route program will total $1.95 million, he said.

Both streets will be repaved.

evidence she was permitted to present at a second hearing that was called to reexamine her case in light of the Luzerne County corruption probe. The court’s decision was based on several weeks of testimony from court staff and attorneys who portrayed Lokuta as a judicial bully. Lokuta has long maintained that people who testified against her were influenced into embellishing and/or fabricating their testimony by former judges Michael Conahan and Mark Ciavarella, whom she says were trying to force her out because she had reported wrongdoing.

This will mark the second time juvenile bills sponsored by Baker have gone before the Legislature for approval. Last year the Senate approved a bill that mandated legal counsel for juveniles, but the House failed to vote on the bill before the session ended. Baker said she thinks the bills have a better chance of passage this time around. “We have new leadership in the House ... I’m very confident we have the support that is necessary,” she said.

Howard’s blast can’t save Phillies

The first coach in school history led team to four state tournament appearances. By VAN ROSE vrose@timesleader.com

Rich Nemetz, the man who put the Holy Redeemer girls basketball program on the map, is stepping down as head coach, after guiding the Royals to the state tournament in each of his four years at the helm. Prior to that, he took Bishop Hoban to the state tournament in 2007, the year before Holy Redeemer came into existence after merging with Bishop O’Reilly, Seton Catholic and Bishop Hafey. “It was a great run at Holy Redeemer/Bishop Hoban,” said Nemetz, 55, who started coaching at Bishop Hoban five years ago. “It came down to a matter of time and energy. “I was trying to take care of too many different things at one time. I have to do what’s best for the kids. They need to move ahead with a new coach, and hopefully they’ll have that opportunity.” Nemetz felt he could no longer devote 100 percent of his energy to coaching. “I always asked them for 100 percent effort,” he said. “It’s not fair for me to ask them for something I can’t give back in return.” Nemetz plans to devote most of his time to his job as a pastry arts instructor at Luzerne County Community College and also spend more time with his family. His son, Ryan, is a former Bishop Hoban basketball standout and is currently a junior at Temple University. He got a chance to spend three years on the Owls practice team, and plans to tryout for a spot on the varsity roster next season. “I definitely want to see him play if that happens,” Nemetz said. Nemetz, who just wrapped up his 35th year of coaching, started out as a biddy basketball coach in Wilkes-Barre when he was 18. He amassed a 181-76 record during his 10-year tenure at Wyoming Valley West that ended in 2004. He posted an 18-10 mark at Bishop Hoban in 2007, and was 85-22 in four years at Holy Redeemer. The Royals won two District 2 Class 3A championships. They were 18-9 last season, including a 45-27 loss to eventual state champion Archbishop Wood in the state tournament. Nemetz said the 2010-11 campaign was his most enjoyable. “The seniors made it a special season. We were a special, close knit group—like a family. They took losing harder than any team I’ve coached.” He is also very proud of the first Holy Redeemer team, which clawed its way to the state tourSee NEMETZ, Page 4B

Explosive back ready for any role with team By DEREK LEVARSE dlevarse@timesleader.com

The significance of the jersey number wasn’t lost on Silas Redd. As a true freshman in 2010, Redd sported No. 25 for Penn State. And for a rookie, he did a pretty fair impression of another tailback to wear that jersey – all-time Nittany Lions great Curt Warner.

Something is definitely wrong here Sports are a meritocracy. They aren’t polluted by politics. You climb based on your greatness. On merit. And that feels fair. But it is odd that the governing body for all of college sports would feel so far from that. One example: The University of Connecticut is the symbol for women’s basketball, right? Championships. Ten thousand fans in the seats. Millionaire coach. It is the standard in female sports and one shining moment for Title IX. But Connecticut’s program lost money last year, spending $723,900 more than it made. This while paying its coach more than that in his $8 million deal. Funny that the person who would make out best in this particular Title IX transaction would be the man. The most successful female program in sports, mind you, can’t support itself. Needs welfare. And, according to data obtained by Bloomberg through the Freedom of Information Act, women’s basketball bleeds money all over America. Bloomberg reports that the 53 public schools in the six largest conferences lost $109.7 million in 2010. This while the men’s teams at those same schools in those same conferences had operating profits of $240 million, according to Bloomberg. You see what’s happening there, right? Football and men’s basketball are paying for everything in college sports — which is part of why the athletes making the most money aren’t allowed to be compensated for it. Instead, part of those earnings go to fund the broken model and another part of it goes to make sure Kentucky coach John Calipari gets $31.65 million, two cars, a country club membership and bonuses. And you wonder why Cam Newton’s father is creeping around in the shadows with his hand out. When government rules are wrong, the only choice is anarchy. And by not allowing athletes to work like all the other students, you beg athletes to break your rules, thus stigmatizing them. What does the NCAA do to fix this? Punishes some Ohio State kids for getting free tattoos, dictator style. Off with their helmets! Make a symbolic statement of fear that echoes throughout the land, so the helpless peasant labor knows to behave. But not before letting him play in the bowl game that brings everyone else millions. Why is our government spending seven years chasing Barry Bonds with torches and pitchforks instead of pouring that kind of money, time and zeal into prosecuting the fraud CEOs who wrecked America’s economy? Because the government and CEOs were linked by the system, in business together, and so, too, it is with the NCAA. The authority figures all around this broken system are profiting off it, so there’s no incentive to fix it. The NFL and NBA aren’t going to object. They get free minor leagues out of the deal, which is kind of amazing. The school presidents aren’t going to object. They’ve got rich boosters giving them money to be near football and basketball. The coaches aren’t going to object. They get fame, glory, promotions and millions off the back of free labor. Why would Fiesta Bowl See LEBATARD, Page 2B

LEBATARD Continued from Page 1B

CEO John Junker want to fix anything when the BCS system was allowing him to allegedly spend 33,000 Fiesta Bowl dollars on his birthday party, 13,000 Fiesta Bowl dollars on an assistant’s wedding and 1,200 Fiesta Bowl dollars in a strip club before being fired last week? The kids get free education . . . that’s always the argument on the other end. Free education is priceless and utopian. Who doesn’t want to believe in that? But you might believe in it far less if you saw that it was something between a mask and a lie. First of all, it isn’t free. The kids are working for it, paying with their time and bodies. Second of all, the inner cities are being mined for talent

and the flabbergasting TV money for basketball and football more than covers the cost of school. So what you get instead is the NCAA becoming royalty so disconnected from the starving masses it is meant to serve that it says, “Let them eat free education” instead of “Let them eat cake.” HBO’s Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel reports that if Duke basketball players had gotten to share revenue the way the NBA and NFL do, each player would have been worth $1.2 million last year. But back to UConn — the Duke of the women’s game. Title IX legislates equality? Yes and no. It isn’t equal, in a capitalist model, that North Carolina on average charges fans $45 to watch the men and $9 to see the women. It isn’t equal, in a capitalist model, that men’s basketball signed a $10.8 billion TV deal whereas the women’s basketball deal is worth $163 million (when packaged

with 21 other championships, including men’s lacrosse). It isn’t equal, as sports economist Andrew Zimbalist told Bloomberg, that the male coach of the shining tribute to Title IX would get an $8 million extension through 2013 while his program bleeds money. “It’s insane,” Zimbalist told Bloomberg. “You show me a Fortune 500 company that would be profitable if the CEO got 75 percent of the revenue.” Ah, but there’s the hiding place . . . be a business while pretending not to be. The NCAA claims to not be a business. It claims to not be a business while Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz makes more than $3 million a year.

Another coaching post opens as Royals’ boss resigns By JOHN ERZAR jerzar@timesleader.com

Another head coaching vacancy was created in Wyoming Valley Conference football Tuesday, while a current opening is expected to be filled today. Tony Marranca resigned Tuesday as head coach at Holy Redeemer after one season. Re-

deemer athletic director Jim Higgins said the resignation was due to health reasons. Meanwhile, it’s very likely the Meyers position will be filled at tonight’s Wilkes-Barre Area School District board meeting. Marranca, cousin of former Wyoming Area and current Hazleton Area coach Paul Marran-

ca, coached Redeemer to a 0-10 season. The Royals were outscored 407-135. Prior to taking the Redeemer position, Marranca was the head coach at Pittston Area from 19961998, compiling an 11-21 record. He was also a long-time assistant coach in the area, including 16 years at Wyoming Area under his

cousin Paul. Redeemer will be looking for its third football coach in the school’s four years of existence. The Royals were 7-23 in their first three seasons under Len Butczynski. Butczynski has been mentioned as a candidate for the opening at Meyers. Eight candi-

dates were interviewed last week for the opening that was created after Dwayne Downing resigned after coaching the Mohawks to a 2-8 record in his only season. Two other schools have filled coaching positions since the 2010 season ended. Pittston Area appointed Mid Valley assistant Mike Barrett to replace Tony

“Dip” Donato, whose position was open after a 0-10 season. Tunkhannock hired assistant Rod Azar as its new coach to replace Frank Berardelli after former King’s College coach Rich Mannello turned down the job. Berardelli coached Tunkhannock for three years before resigning.

Wyoming Seminary wins in grand style

Coughlin pounds out 20 hits in victory

Blue Knights second baseman Max Wiles booms walk-off grand slam to beat Rangers.

WILKES-BARRE – Coughlin pounded out 20 hits, but still needed to hold off a Pittston Area rally attempt for an 8-6 victory in Wyoming Valley Conference softball Tuesday. Jessica Luton pitched a complete game for Coughlin. She shut down Pittston Area from the fourth to sixth innings before the Patriots scored three times in the seventh. Danielle Cerep and Lori Masi led the hitting with four singles each. Marissa Nardone homered for Pittston Area.

KINGSTON — Max Wiles launched a grand slam in the bottom of the seventh inning to cap off a dramatic six-run final frame for Wyoming Seminary, which rallied to beat Northwest 8-6 on Tuesday in a WVC Division II game. Wiles also added a triple for the Blue Knights (1-1), who trailed 6-2 headed into the bottom of the seventh. But two singles and an error loaded the bases for the Knights, who drew a pair of walks to score two before Wiles ended it with the walk-off slam. Craig Skudalski threw a complete game to pick up the win. Roman Rubando added a triple. Ryan Kondrosky (double) and Tyler Kittle (triple) each had two hits for the Rangers (0-2).

Penn State tail back Silas Redd (25) is one of a trio of backs expected to see significant time for the Lions this season.

that he see the field. He finished the season second on the team in carries (77) and yards (437), adding two touchdowns. First, however, he has to win the starting job. Redd, senior Stephfon Green and junior Brandon Beachum are all candidates to see significant carries. The Lions also have Curtis Dukes and fullbacks Joe Suhey and Mike Zordich as options in the backfield. “I have high expectations for myself, but I’m not going to sulk or pout if I don’t get the starting spot,” Redd said. “I’m going to work hard.” More than likely, Penn State will divvy up the carries in the fall, a scenario Redd says he’s fine with. “Carries can be split. We have enough talent, any one of these guys can start,” he said. “It’s a good way to run the ball, to split the carries. We have myself and Stephfon who are speedy, and the two (Beachum and Dukes)

that are big guys.” But it’s Redd who has the highest ceiling, and the one who figures to draw the most attention at Saturday’s BlueWhite Game. In what was a choppy and inconsistent offense for the Lions in 2010, Redd brought fans to their feet – and took defenders off of theirs – with his spins, jukes and bursts up the field. That part of it comes easily for Redd. But to be the feature back, he knows he’ll have to round out his game. “I’m a better back now because I’ve improved on my blocking,” Redd said. “That wasNo.1formetoimproveon.” For now, the steps are still small for Redd. But no less an authority that Royster has already predicted that Redd will claim the rushing crown himself before he leaves Penn State. “I was shocked when Evan said that I would break his record,” Redd said. “He’s not that open about a lot of things. For him to say that, not only was I flattered, but I respected him even more. Hats off to him for being a down to earth guy and telling me how he felt.”

ning and moved to third on Vazquez’s single to left. That was it for Swarzak, who was relieved by hard-throwing right-hander Jim Hoey. Hoey nearly escaped damage. He retired Brandon Laird on a fly to shallow right, then struck out Jordan Parraz on a 96 mph fastball. But his wild pitch to Justin Maxwell allowed Montero to scamper home with the tying run. A critical moment in the game came in the bottom of the sixth. The Red Wings loaded the bases

with no outs against Brackman but failed to score. Cleanup hitter Jeff Bailey grounded to third baseman Brandon Laird, who fired home for the forceout. Rene Tosoni then grounded into a 4-6-3 double play. The Yankees took their first lead of the night in the seventh inning when Justin Maxwell, batting just .105, lined a two-run triple to center off Kyle Waldrop. Waldrop had a 0-2 count on Jordan Parraz but walked the designated hitter to set up Maxwell’s big hit.

Hotline for pollution, fish kills opened

The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission introduced a new toll-free hotline for the public to report suspected pollution incidents or fish kills. The number – 1-855-FISH-KIL (1-855-347-4545) – provides the public with a way to quickly alert PFBC staff to suspected environmental incidents, according to Board President William Worobec. The PFBC board passed a motion to implement the number during their quarterly meeting in Harrisburg on Tuesday. “Timely notification is the number one critical factor in dealing with suspected pollution cases and protecting our aquatic resources,” Worobec said. “The sooner we know about an incident, the sooner we can evaluate it and, if necessary, implement a response plan. As more time passes between an incident and our evaluation, we reduce our chances of clearly indentifying the source of the suspected pollutant. ” Worobec emphasized that the number is to be used only for reporting suspected cases of pollution or fish kills and is not meant for general inquires related to license sales, boat registrations or other agency issues. “We want the public to be vigilant and to help us protect our aquatic resources,” he said. “But we also expect them to be responsible and to use the hotline only for its intended purpose.” Callers using the hotline – which is available for use - will be directed to the PFBC’s Bureau of Law Enforcement in Harrisburg, where staff will answer calls from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. Calls received after hours or on weekends will be sent to a voice mailbox where the caller can leave a message. PFBC staff will review voice messages and respond as soon as possible. If someone spots a suspected incident and believes it is an immediate threat to public safety or the environment, they should dial 911 or the Department of Environmental Protection’s emergency number at 1-800-541-2050. For non-emergency questions, please call or visit: Licensing – (877) 707-4085 Boat Registration/Titling – (866) 262-8734, (866-BoatReg) Boating Safety Education Courses – (888) 723-4741, (888PaFish1) General Questions – (717) 705-7800 Frequently Asked Questions and electronic comments – The Fishing Hole - www.fishandboat.com/inform.htm To assist the public with understanding this new resource, the PFBC has prepared a list of Frequently Asked Questions, which appear on the PFBC website at: www.fishandboat.com/faqpollute.pdf.

He always stressed that it’s easy for kids not to come back when they’re down. He got us to play together and win.” Nemetz said he is leaving coaching with no regrets. “I’ve been blessed with some amazing student athletes and some amazing young ladies.

DEER HUNTING

Antlered season is shortened in area By TOM VENESKY tvenesky@timiesleader.com

Hunters in Northeastern Pennsylvania will have another area in which antlered deer only will be legal for the first five days of the two-week rifle deer season. During Tuesday’s board meeting, the Pennsylvania Game Commission approved a motion to add four Wildlife Management Units to the split season concept. Included in the group is WMU 3B, which encompasses parts of Luzerne, Lackawanna, Wyoming, Bradford, Tioga, Sullivan and Lycoming counties. Of the five WMUs in the northeast, three – 3B, 3C and 4E are now under the split season format. WMUs 4C and 3D remain in the concurrent format, meaning antlered and antlerless deer can be harvested during the entire twoweek season. The rifle deer season for 2011 begins on Nov. 28 and concludes

License Allocation 2011-12 antlerless license allocations for WMUs in the northeast (last year’s allocation): 3B – 40,000 (33,761) 3C – 29,000 (26,358) 3D – 39,000 (31,622) 4C – 35,000 (34,351) 4E – 29,000 (30,052)

Dec. 2. Commissioner Jay Delaney, of Wilkes-Barre, represents the northeast. He said the move was made in response to the overwhelming support he has received from hunters. He said hunters should see more deer in WMU 3B during the second week of the season. “The vast majority of all contacts I received from sportsmen in the northeast is they wanted to see a split season in 3B,” Delaney said. “It’s a rarity to hear someone want to go back to the concurrent format.”

Delaney added that the forest health in 3B has consistently improved to the point that a split season is feasible. According to Delaney, when a WMU is changed from a concurrent to a split season format, the harvest typically drops by 20 percent. As a result, the agency increased the antlerless license allocation in WMU 3B to 40,000 this season. Last year the allocation in 3B was 33,761. “When you put a WMU in a split season, it takes a higher allocation to get the desired harvest,” Delaney said. “Still, the deer herd in 3B should increase somewhat even though the allocations are going up.” Statewide, 11 of the 22 WMUs are now in the split season format. The list includes (WMUs) 2A, 2C, 2D, 2E, 2F, 2G, 3B, 3C, 4B, 4D and 4E. The package retains the two-week (Nov. 28-Dec. 10) concurrent, antlered and antlerless deer season in WMUs

1A, 1B, 2B, 3A, 3D, 4A, 4C, 5A, 5B, 5C and 5D. Additionally, the board also gave final approval to extend the statewide late archery and late flintlock muzzleloader seasons, which will open on Monday, Dec. 26, 2011, and run until Monday, Jan. 16, 2012. The board also gave final approval to a slate of bear seasons for 2011 that includes concurrent bear and deer seasons from Nov. 30 to Dec. 3 in specific WMUs, including three of the four in Luzerne County: 3D, 4C and 4E. While the board tackled big game, such as deer and bear, it also took action on smaller animals including turkey and porcupines. The board approved the fall turkey seasons for 2011. The restructured fall season dates for all four local WMUs this year are: Oct. 29 to Nov. 18 and Nov. 24 to 26. Acting on a request Game

Manchester United reaches semis By ROB HARRIS AP Sports Writer

MANCHESTER, England — Manchester United reached the Champions League semifinals for the fourth time in five years and effectively ended a miserable season for Chelsea by ousting its English rival on Tuesday. Ryan Giggs proved his enduring value to United at age 37 by setting up Javier Hernandez and Park Ji-Sung for the goals that clinched the 2-1 victory, having teed up Wayne Rooney for the only goal in last week’s first leg. “He’s incredible, a unique

person and player,” United manager Alex Ferguson said. “It’s a great contribution and his experience and composure were vital. “He’s lucky with his physique, he’s never carried weight and has got fantastic balance. He looks after himself. He has to, to play at 37. It must be a great sacrifice to do that.” It was Giggs’ 870th appearance for the three-time European champions. “It’s easier as you get older because you pick your moments,” the Welsh midfielder said. But life is getting no easier at Chelsea for Fernando Torres.

The striker has yet to score for the club that signed him in January for 50 million pounds ($80 million) and he was hauled off at halftime on Tuesday. “Having signed Torres for the money they did, they had to play him,” Ferguson said. “I wasn’t 100 percent sure but I couldn’t see how they could leave Torres out.” His halftime replacement, Didier Drogba, scored Chelsea’s only goal of the night — canceling out Hernandez’s first-half strike — as the London club, which had Ramires sent off just before equalizer, went out 3-1 on aggregate.

Leitner then scored in the 15th minute and again in the 54th minute to tie the score. Notaro added the game-winner less than a minute later.

into his first pro hockey playoff series. For what it’s worth, Street’s last postseason excursion – as a member of the Silverbacks in 2005, was a successful one as he scored 15 points in 11 games. But that was six years ago and it wasn’t in a league that is only one rung below the NHL. Even after a successful rookie season in which he scored 12 goals and 23 points in 36 games, Street knows he has to prove himself as a player who can rise to the heightened expectations of the Calder Cup playoffs. It’s a situation that Street is familiar with. “This season I feel like I’ve been on a tryout a lot of the year,” he said. “I came from camp, went to Wheeling and had to prove myself and show I was prepared for that. Getting called up to here and it was the same thing all over again. The playoffs are a lot like that – another opportunity to prove yourself.” There are plenty of reasons to believe that Street will be up to the task. He was the Penguins top-scoring forward against Norfolk during the regular season, posting four goals and an assist in four games. All four of those goals came during three meetings with the Admirals in February – a month when Street found the back of the net nine times. After being held without a goal during the last seven games of the regular season, Street is looking to get his scoring back on track against Norfolk in the postseason. But he isn’t putting too much pressure on himself. Just being in the playoffs alone does that. “There’s no need to put extra pressure on yourself in the playoffs because the stage is already bigger and the stakes are already higher,” Street said, adding there are other aspects just as important as goal scoring. “Sometimes blocking a shot or chipping the

Commissioner David Putnam made at the board’s October meeting, and an amendment offered Tuesday by Game Commissioner David Schreffler, the board gave final approval to a specific hunting season for porcupines. Under the new season, hunters can take porcupines from Sept. 1 through March 31. The daily limit is six and the field possession limit is 12. Hunters pursuing porcupines may use any legal sporting arm, and must wear 250 inches of fluorescent orange material. Porcupines may be harvested from one-half hour before sunrise until one-half hour after sunset. Several other states in the region allow such harvests of the quilled-mammal that wreaks havoc on the timber industry because its main food is bark. Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York are among them. puck out of the zone is as big as scoring a goal in the playoffs. There’s lots of ways to step up.” Head coach John Hynes is confident that Street will respond well to his first AHL playoff experience. “He’s taken a lot of strides this year – earning his way onto the team and earning a full-time spot,” Hynes said. “I’m sure in the playoffs he’ll continue to build upon what he already started this year.” If he does replicate his regular season success in the playoffs, Street knows the positive impact it can have on his career in addition to the Penguins’ chances of winning the Calder Cup. “There’s such a big microscope on the playoffs and some guys completely make their careers out of being a playoff performer,” Street said. “It’s a time of year when you can really step up and make some noise for yourself and your career, but most importantly it’s an opportunity to win a championship.” NOTES- The Penguins didn’t practice on Tuesday but did hold workouts with the entire team. They will return to the ice today. Hynes said Tim Wallace, Steve Wagner and Geoff Walker – all of whom missed the end of the regular season with injuries, are considered day-to-day. As far as their availability for Game 1, Hynes said he’ll know more on Thursday. Pittsburgh signed Philip Samuelsson – the son of former Penguin defenseman Ulf Samuelsson, to a three-year entry level contract. The younger Samuelsson is also a blueliner and was Pittsburgh’s second round pick in 2009. He spent the past two years with Boston College and won the NCAA National Title with the Eagles in 2009-10. Wilkes-Barre/Scranton signed forward Brian Gibbons to an ATO on Tuesday. Gibbons, 23, recently completed his senior season at Boston College, totaling 18 goals and 51 points in 39 games. Defenseman Reid McNeill was released from his ATO on Tuesday.

MINNEAPOLIS — With the lockout at one month and counting, attorneys for NFL players sat down Tuesday with the federal magistrate who will oversee court-ordered mediation with the league later this week. Attorneys and Hall of Fame defensive end Carl Eller met with U.S. Magistrate Judge Arthur Boylan for about four hours. Boylan “was very open” and “it was a very constructive session,” said Michael Hausfeld, the lead attorney representing Eller and a group of mostly retired players in their antitrust lawsuit against the owners. Other attorneys declined comment. The meeting came on the same day the NFL released its 2011 preseason schedule, led by the Hall of Fame Game between Chicago and St. Louis in Canton, Ohio, on Aug. 7. Whether the games are held remains an open question. The NFL’s attorneys are scheduled to meet with Boylan on Wednesday before mediation begins on Thursday, the first talks since collective bargaining negotiations broke down March 11, followed hours later by the NFL’s first work stoppage since 1987. Boylan has a reputation as a problem-solver, though what he can accomplish after more than two weeks of mediated talks fell

He has been a magistrate since 1996 and presided over numerous mediations, including a $195 million settlement between Boston Scientific and about 4,000 claims involving heart defibrillators and pacemakers made by Guidant Corp. in 2007. He’ll need to be at his best in this session because the rancor between the two sides has grown increasingly bitter as the dispute landed in court. “If the parties would rather take their shot for litigation, you could make them sit there forever and there still won’t be an outcome,” said Seth Borden, a labor law expert at McKenna, Long and Aldridge in New York.

their positions on respective issues,” Hausfeld said. Nelson has ordered both sides to keep mediation details confidential, urging both sides to get “back to the table.” The NFL said it wanted to resume talks with federal mediator George Cohen in Washington following 16 days of unsuccessful collective bargaining negotiations, but the players wanted to hold any mediation under Nelson’s auspices. Nelson’s decision on the injunction could swing leverage in the case one way or the other, so it is unclear how eager either party will be to enter into serious settlement discussions pending her ruling.

Tampa, not Pens have star names

By JOSEPH WHITE AP Sports Writer

The Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — Sidney Crosby? No. Evgeni Malkin? No. But Steven Stamkos, Martin St. Louis and Vincent Lecavalier? Yes, they’ll all be on the ice this week. And that’s why, for a change, the Pittsburgh Penguins enter a playoff series with the lesser-known players. For once, they are the team more concerned about containing the high-end offensive talent its opponent has. Stamkos was second in the league in goals, St. Louis was second in points, and Lecavalier, a former No. 1 overall pick, finished his season with 14 points in the last 11 games. Pittsburgh, meanwhile, veered from recent tradition and relied on defense after Crosby (concussion) and Malkin (knee) were lost for most of the season’s final half. Indeed, it is a new feeling. “It’s a completely different feel than the past few years,” Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said, “with the teams we’ve had and the expectations.” Game 1 is 7 tonight in Pittsburgh. “We know what we’re getting ourselves into,” Stamkos said. “I think both teams have some strong weapons, strong defenses, and strong goaltenders, for that matter. At the end of the day, it’s going to come down to who wants it more. Who plays with more desperation. Who is going to sacrifice.” Stamkos shared the Rocket Richard trophy for NHL’s top goal scorer with Crosby last season. And the two had quite the earlyseason race going this year, until Crosby was hit by Washington’s David Steckel in the Jan. 1 outdoor game, and then again four days later by Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman. He hasn’t played in the 41 games since. On Tuesday, Crosby took part in a non-gameday practice with the entire team for only the second time since being cleared to skate last month. All of his other workouts were either during the less-brisk morning skates, on his own or with only a handful of others, usu-

ally the team’s other injured players. Although he was not permitted to take part in anything that involved contact, Crosby appeared to participate in most of the drills with the same vigor as if he was healthy. “He looked great today,” former linemate Pascal Dupuis said. But coach Dan Bylsma said there is no change in his status and Crosby will not play tonight. “The fact that he’s practicing with the team has not changed his progression,” Bylsma said. “He’s not been able to progress to the next standpoint yet.” Crosby politely declined to speak with reporters after the practice, one in which he was among the last players to leave the ice. And Malkin (ACL surgery), of course, is out for the season. The injury report, however, hasn’t fazed Tampa Bay. “No matter who’s on the other side, we’ll worry about our game,” said Lightning winger Ryan Malone, a former Penguin. “That’s the important thing.”

& 2011

Due in part to Stamkos’ 45 goals and former scoring champion St. Louis’ 99 points, Tampa Bay ended the season third in the conference in goals and with the top power play in the East (20.5 percent). But that didn’t mean much in the past three games vs. the Penguins. Tampa Bay managed only four goals in those games, although it did earn a 2-1 victory on March 31. The metamorphosis of the Penguins from a high-scoring team to one that relies on defense was forced by the loss of Crosby, clearly. His 32 goals in exactly half a season still lead the team by far. Winger Chris Kunitz’s 23 are Pittsburgh’s high among players who will participate in Game 1. So, Pittsburgh instead turned to a leaguebest penalty kill (86.1 percent), and focused on defense to the point where it had the No. 3 goals-against average (2.39) in the East. At the season’s midway point, Crosby was the runaway choice for NHL MVP. By the end, with Crosby out, goalie Marc-Andre Fleury was named the Penguins’ team MVP. “Over 30-some odd games without our high-powered offensive guys, we kind of built around a defensive game,” Kunitz said. “And our goalie has been our best player by far.” This is the Lightning’s first playoff appearance since 2007, and it comes during the first season in the tenures of general manager Steve Yzerman and coach Guy Boucher.

team. They have more confidence and their top players are playing well. It’s going to be a lot tougher for us to get the wins, but we’re a confident group right now.” New York barely scraped into the playoffs — clinching the No. 8 spot only when the Carolina Hurricanes lost their final game of season — but the Rangers and Capitals are remarkably close in many statistical categories and now play similar close-to-thevest schemes that should produce mostly tight, low-scoring games. Given what happened last year, when Washington blew a 3-1 series lead and was eliminated by the eighth-seeded Montreal Canadiens, the underdogs don’t have to feel like a long shot. “I feel any team is pretty dangerous in the playoffs,” New York left wing Ruslan Fedotenko said. “Here you have one versus eight and other things, but it’s a whole new game.” The whole new game the Capitals are playing took a bite out of the offensive numbers, although it must be noted that the goals spigot had already slowed to a trickle before the change was made. Alex Ovechkin finished the season with 32 goals, down from 50 the season prior. Nicklas Backstrom dipped from 33 to 18. Alexander Semin from 40 to 28. Brooks Laich from 25 to 16. However, the Capitals’ penalty kill became gangbusters, rising from 25th in the league last season to No. 2 in 2010-11. “To be honest, it’s probably more difficult for certain guys, and for certain guys it plays a little more into their hands,” right wing Mike Knuble said. “Guys who’ve been good players by their offense and able to score a lot probably had a tougher time than guys who are considered more grind-it types.”

E SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY:

WASHINGTON — The turning point for the Washington Capitals came on Sunday, Dec. 12, when they were shut out 7-0 by the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden. It was Washington’s sixth straight loss. Alex Ovechkin was so frustrated he got into a rare fight in the second period. Coach Bruce Boudreau wrapped up the evening by saying: “I think we have a lot of people feeling sorry for themselves.” Boudreau brought the team home and made a major decision. No longer would the Capitals be the up-and-down, high-scoring team that coasted to the NHL’s best regular season record a year ago. The system was going to change. Defensive accountability was the new theme. And this would happen in midseason — not in training camp — the sports equivalent of tinkering with the car while driving 70 mph down the interstate. “Sometimes you have to change things on the go when the way you’re playing isn’t working,” right wing Matt Bradley said Tuesday. “It wasn’t working for us, so something had to be done. And the coaches did a great job figuring out a new way for us to play. We still have guys who can score, but we’ve tightened up our defense.” When the Rangers arrive at the Verizon Center tonight for Game 1 of their Eastern Conference playoff series, they’ll face a Capitals team that is less elegant and more workmanlike than the one they routed during the Christmas shopping season. It took a while to get the new style down pat, but Washington won 16 of its last 20 regular season games to again claim the conference’s top seed. “We played them a couple of games when they were struggling a little bit,” said New York goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, whose team won three of four against the Capitals this season. “Now I think they’re a better

Bonds jury deliberates for 3rd day with no verdict By RONALD BLUM AP Sports Writer

SAN FRANCISCO — Jurors in the Barry Bonds case remained mostly out of sight on day 3 of their deliberations. They never entered Judge Susan Illston’s courtroom on the 19th floor of the Phillip Burton Federal Building, spending about six hours behind closed doors Tuesday without reaching a verdict. Except for a couple of quick breaks and a timeout for lunch, that was it. No questions for the judge.

No readbacks of testimony. And no clues as to which way, if any, the eight women and four men who will deBonds cide the homerun king’s fate are leaning. With each passing hour Wednesday, speculation mounted as to whether the jury even will be able to reach a verdict on the four charges: three counts of making false statements to a

Werth delivers against old team The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Jayson Werth homered and doubled to lead the Washington Nationals to a 7-4 win Tuesday night in his first appearance against Philadelphia since leaving the Phillies as a free agent this winter. Werth doubled to lead off the fourth inning and later scored, starting a three-run inning that gave the Nationals the lead for good. His solo home run in the fifth gave Washington a 5-1 lead. Werth signed a $126 million, seven-year contract with the Nationals this offseason. Phillies fans made up a large percentage of the sparse crowd at Nationals Park, and they booed him each time he came to bat — or fielded a fly ball in right field. Livan Hernandez (1-1) allowed one run on seven hits, struck out six and didn’t walk a batter in 6 2-3 innings. He also picked up a sacrifice-bunt RBI as the Nationals won for the fourth time in five games. Sean Burnett got the final five outs for his third save.

per Jones drove in two runs to lead Atlanta past Florida. Hanson (1-2) finally got a few runs to work with and the Braves turned in several nifty defensive plays, two of them diving stops by shortstop Alex Gonzalez. The Braves struggled offensively over their first 10 games, scoring three runs or fewer seven times — including both of Hanson’s starts. This time, that wasn’t a problem. Heyward homered in the fourth, McCann in the fifth. Astros 11, Cubs 2

HOUSTON — Brett Myers kept up his dominance against the Chicago Cubs and Angel Sanchez tied a career high with four hits and the Houston Astros got a win. Myers (1-0) allowed eight hits and one run in seven innings to improve his career record against Chicago to 11-3. Houston scored three runs off Cubs starter James Russell (1-1) in the first inning, two more in the second and built a 7-0 lead after Sanchez knocked in two runs with a single in the fourth inning.

AMERICAN LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Price pitches Rays to win over Red Sox

The Associated Press

BOSTON — David Price outpitched Jon Lester and the Tampa Bay Rays broke a tie with Boston for the worst record in the American League with a 3-2 win over the Red Sox on Tuesday night. The Rays and Red Sox began the game even at 2-8. Price (1-2) allowed five hits in 7 2-3 innings. He left with runners at first and second and reliever Joel Peralta ended the eighth by getting Jed Lowrie to fly out. Kyle Farnsworth worked a perfect ninth for his second save. Lester (0-1) pitched well for his second straight outing but remained winless. Darnell McDonald homered in the Boston third. Tampa Bay scored three times in the fifth. Lowrie hit an RBI double in the sixth. Tigers 5, Rangers 0

DETROIT — Miguel Cabrera hit a bases-loaded single in the ninth inning to left Detroit past Texas. Texas slugger Josh Hamilton broke his upper right arm sliding headfirst into the plate in the first inning. He’s expected to miss six to eight weeks. After Texas tied it a 4 in the eighth with a run off reliever Joaquin Benoit, Jose Valverde (1-0) worked a scoreless ninth and the Tigers broke through against Darren O’Day (0-1). Brandon Inge led off with a single and moved to second on

Alex Avila’s sacrifice bunt. After a walk, a strikeout and another walk, Cabrera ended the game with the single through the left side of the infield. Twins 4, Royals 3

MINNEAPOLIS — Danny Valencia hit a bases-loaded single with one out in the 10th inning to lift the Minnesota Twins to a victory over the Kansas City Royals. While the Twins’ bullpen pitched four perfect innings, including the 10th by Dusty Hughes (1-0), reliever Robinson Tejeda (0-1) failed the Royals. White Sox 6, Athletics 5

CHICAGO — Alexei Ramirez hit his second homer of the game with two outs in the 10th inning to lift the Chicago White Sox to a win over the Oakland Athletics. Ramirez also hit a three-run shot in the second inning and scored a run after drawing a walk in the sixth. Chicago reliever Chris Sale (2-0) picked up the win with two shutout innings. Daric Barton had four hits and scored a run, and Kevin Kouzmanoff hit a two-run homer for Oakland. Hideki Matsui, who entered the game hitting .182, had three hits, including a double, and drove in two runs. Bobby Cramer (0-1) took the loss for Oakland.

grand jury in 2003 and one count of obstruction of justice. Only the dozen jurors really know what’s going on. “I would say it is still early to be thinking about a hung jury,” said Douglas Tween, a former trial attorney in the Justice Department’s antitrust division and now a principal at Baker & McKenzie. “A general rule of thumb is one to two days of deliberation for every week of trial, so I don’t think this case is unusual at this point.” Following 25 witnesses who

testified over the better part of three weeks, the jury must decide whether Bonds is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt on each count. He is charged with lying to the grand jury when he denied receiving steroids and human growth hormone from personal trainer Greg Anderson and when he said that he allowed only doctors to inject him. During closing arguments last week, defense lawyer Allen Ruby reminded the jury that in addition to being proven false,

Bonds’ statements also must have affected the grand jury’s work, which was to investigate the distribution of performanceenhancing drugs by the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative. While Bonds’ former personal shopper, Kathy Hoskins, testified she saw Greg Anderson inject Bonds near the navel in 2002, she also didn’t know what was in the syringe. In the jurors’ two questions to Illston last Friday — their only ones during deliberations thus far — they asked to rehear a

Hamilton may be sidelined 2 months By NOAH TRISTER AP Sports Writer

DETROIT — Texas slugger Josh Hamilton is expected to miss six to eight weeks after breaking his upper right arm on a headfirst dive into home plate Tuesday, a daring dash the AL MVP later called “stupid.” Hamilton tried to score from third on a foul popup near the Detroit dugout Hamilton in the first inning. Third baseman Brandon Inge and catcher Victor Martinez both chased the ball, leaving the plate unprotected. Inge made the catch, then tossed the ball to Martinez, who scampered back in time to tag Hamilton. “It was a stupid play,” Hamilton said. “The whole time the ball was in the air, the coach was yelling, ’Go, there’s no one at home,’ and I was thinking, ’I don’t want to do this, something is going to happen.’ “But I listened to my coach,” he said, referring to third-base coach Dave Anderson. “It was way too aggressive. Maybe if they had both been closer to me, but they had a perfect angle to cut me off, and the only way to avoid a tag in that situation is to go head first.” Hamilton slid headfirst earlier in the inning on an RBI triple. The Tigers wound up winning 5-4. Rangers general manager Jon Daniels defended Anderson’s decision to send Hamilton. “We play an aggressive style of baseball,” he said. “The chances of getting hurt on that play are minimal.” The AL champion Rangers, off to a 9-2 start, said Hamilton has a non-displaced fracture of the humerus bone at the top of his arm, just below the shoulder. He isn’t expected to swing a bat for a month. The fracture was small enough that it wasn’t detected on an X-ray, but Daniels held a conference call about two hours after the game with results from an MRI exam. “Obviously, he’s a big part of our club,” Daniels said. “We built the club to deal with something like this.” With Hamilton headed to the disabled list, Daniels said the team will probably call up Chris Davis from Triple-A Round Rock. Hamilton missed most of the final month of the regular season last year with two broken ribs after he made a catch, then rolled his ankle and stumbled hard into the outfield wall at Minnesota. He was back in time for the postseason and helped Texas reach the World Series. Hamilton hit .359 with 32 home runs and 100 RBIs in 2010. He’s hitting .333 this season. In 2009, Hamilton was limitedto89gameswhenhehadtwo stints on the disabled list after separate wall-crashing catches.

Retail sales reading Look for the government to report that retail sales rose for the ninth straight month in March – but at a slower pace than February’s big jump. Economists are forecasting a 0.5 percent gain in sales. They rose 1 percent in February. The question is whether rising gas prices forced consumers to cut back their spending in stores. The average price of regular gas is now $3.79 a gallon, up from $3.07 at the start of the year.

Business travelers will spend $245.8 billion this year, up nearly 7 percent from 2010, thanks to improving economic conditions and increasing corporate confidence, according to an industry trade group. The Global Business Travel Association said Tuesday that spending picked up at the end of 2010, with business travelers taking 113.6 million trips during the fourth quarter. They spent $60.6 billion, up more than 12 percent from the same period in 2009. For the first quarter of 2011, preliminary numbers show that travelers spent $60.2 billion, up 4 percent from the year before. Half of this year’s spending growth will come from more expensive airfare, hotels, car rentals and meals. The average business trip in 2010 cost $533, according to the group. In 2011, it is expected to climb to $551.

Fiat ups stake in Chrysler

Fiat boosted its ownership stake in Chrysler Group LLC Tuesday as the Italian automaker met several benchmarks set by the U.S. government. Fiat’s stake in Chrysler rose from 25 percent to 30 percent, and it can rise to 35 percent when Chrysler begins making a 40 mpg car in the U.S. Fiat got a 20 percent stake in Chrysler when it took over management of the company after a government-funded bankruptcy in 2009, and the government set several benchmarks for Fiat to increase its stake. In exchange for the ownership stake, Chrysler got small-car and clean-engine technology and Fiat’s management know-how.

Canada holds interest rate

Canada’s central bank left its key interest rate unchanged for the fifth consecutive time, but says the economy is progressing faster than it expected. The Bank of Canada, which held its benchmark rate at 1 percent, said Tuesday the global economic recovery is becoming more firmly entrenched. Economists widely expected the central bank to leave the rate unchanged. The bank projects Canada’s economy will expand by 2.9 percent in 2011 and 2.6 percent in 2012. But the bank warns there are potential trouble spots ahead for the economy, including the elevated price of oil and the strength of the Canadian dollar, which should restrain growth. Last June, Canada became the first Group-of-Seven nation to raise interest rates since the global economic crisis. It raised rates again in July and September, but has kept the rate unchanged in five consecutive announcements since then.

Applebee’s makes change

The Applebee’s restaurant chain says it’s changing the way it serves juice after a toddler was mistakenly given a small amount of alcohol at a Detroitarea location. The Detroit Free Press and The Detroit News report Tuesday that Applebee’s will pour juice for children from single-serve containers at the table starting this week. Applebee’s also plans to retrain workers. Police said the drink was actually a leftover mixed drink combination.

The Fed’s Beige Book How much are rising prices hurting the economic recovery? That’s perhaps the biggest question that investors will have as the Federal Reserve releases its assessment of the economy in each region of the country. Prices for fuel, food and clothing are going up, and the concern is that consumers and businesses will have to cut back on some spending. Investors will also want to know if the Fed sees any signs of the housing market starting to recover.

JPMorgan Chase is the first big U.S. bank to report first-quarter earnings. Investors already know the bank is doing better. Nearly three weeks ago it said was raising its quarterly dividend fivefold to 25 cents. It’s also buying back more of its stock. Investors are looking for the company to report further improvement in its loan business. They want to hear that the number of people defaulting on loans has fallen again, and that JPMorgan set aside less money to cover bad loans.

LAINS TWP. – Every time a loan was paid off a new bill came due and once again Bella had to go to a payday lender or take a cash advance on her credit card to get the needed money. The interest rates were exorbitant and in some cases cost her more than the original loan amount. Then she learned about the Credit Union Better Choice Program. With 79 credit unions across the state, including two based in Luzerne County -- the Cross Valley Federal Credit Union, Highway Federal Credit Union – participating in the program, state Treasurer Rob McCord visited Cross Valley’s Plains Township headquarters on Tuesday to hear Bella’s story and to thank the credit union for participating. Bella, a federal government worker from Wilkes-Barre who asked that her last name not be used in this story, said she was more than willing to serve as an example of how the program saves borrowers money when compared to other so-called “payday lenders” that drew the ire of McCord. Calling them “wealth stripping” programs, he said too often some lenders will offer loans with not only high interest rates but also then tack on excessive administrative fees if loans are not paid off in a short amount of time. McCord said meeting Bella and Dawn, another woman who has also begun using the Better Choice program, was just more confirmation that the program is working. In tough financial times, he said, many hardworking people find themselves in dire straits and are unsure where to turn. “People get in a desperate need for cash and go to the wrong place,” McCord said. “We’ve all heard the horror stories: People who need to access cash they don’t have quickly go to a payday lender and end up drowning in fees and outrageous interest rates that routinely exceed the equivalent of 400 percent,” said McCord. “Too often, the people who fall prey to these payday lenders are those who are already struggling economically or are living

Like Bella, she also has a federal government job but finds herself requiring additional cash when her car needs repairs or medical bills pile up. For years, she said, “any time I’d pay one off, I’d find myself taking out another one.” But times have changed.

BP boss to face tough group of shareholders By JANE WARDELL AP Business Writer

LONDON — BP Chief Executive Bob Dudley faces a tough audience at the firm’sannualmeetingonThursday:Shareholders ready to air grievances about a year that started with the Gulf oil spill and is ending with missteps in Russia, a key BP market.

HELSINKI, Finland — Nokia Corp. on Tuesday launched its first smartphones to run on the updated Symbian software with new icons, enhancements and a faster browser. Nokia said the two models — the E6 and X7 — have longer battery life, better text input and new Ovi Maps applications with improved search and public transport routes. The Nokia E6, with a standard QWERTY keypad and high-resolution touch display, is aimed at corporate customers, while the Nokia X7 is an entertainmentfocused handset with a 4-inch display made for games. The world’s largest cellphone maker did not price the handsets. Markets seemed unimpressed by the announcement, which comes as Nokia continues to struggle against stiff competition, especially from Apple Inc. and Research in Motion Ltd. Nokia stock fell more than 3 percent to $8.80 on the Helsinki Stock Exchange. More than 200 million phones, with 150 million more expected on the market, use Symbian technology, seen by some developers as clumsy and dated. At the end of last year, it was surpassed by Android as the world’s No. 1 smart phone software. Nokia said the new, faster Symbian software, known as Symbian Anna, will be available for previously released top models, including the N8, E7, C7 and C6-01 devices “in coming months.” In February, Nokia and Microsoft surprised the industry by announcing they were joining forces to challenge major rivals. Nokia said it will use Microsoft Corp.’s Windows Phone software as the main platform for its smartphones but will continue to develop and use the new Symbian software. But they have a tough battle ahead. The iPhone has set the standard for today’s smartphones and Research In Motion Ltd.’s BlackBerrys have become the favorite of the corporate set.

Exception made for derivatives By MARCY GORDON AP Business Writer

WASHINGTON — Companies that trade derivatives solely to guard against volatile price swings won’t have to meet new federal collateral requirements. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission advanced the exemption Tuesday as part of new regulations for derivatives, investments whose value depends on the future price of some other investment. The rules, which were included in last year’s financial regulatory law, require banks and businesses that trade derivatives to put up millions of dollars to cover their losses. The aim is to cut down on the kind of risky trades that contributed to the 2008 financial crisis. But airlines, oil companies and farmers are among hundreds of businesses that won’t be required to do so, if they use derivatives to control unforeseeable costs, such as extreme weather that damages crops. The rules proposed Tuesday apply to derivatives traded outside of clearinghouses. Clearinghouses settle derivatives trades and their member firms must back them, so collateral is always required. Regulators expect that the majority of derivatives trades will occur in clearinghouses. More than 200 major U.S. companies that use derivatives have lobbied in coalitions for an exemption from the collateral requirements.

quarter was the continuing rally in small-cap stocks. Many market pros predicted small caps would lag behind larger company stocks because small caps tend to do best early in a bull market. The Russell 2000 index is up 140 percent while the S&P 500 is up 94 percent since the market hit bottom in 2009. The Russell reflects the performance of small-cap stocks. Chris Jones, a strategist with J.P. Morgan Asset Management, believes large caps are overdue to pass small caps. He says larger companies are likely to benefit more from a global economic recovery that seems to have long-term staying power. The weak dollar is making U.S. products more affordable to overseas buyers. And many of the biggest U.S. companies are expanding their business abroad.

Surprising quarter, better outlook

The stock market did so well the first three months of the year that some mutual fund analysts are raising their forecasts for the rest of 2011. Three months ago, Lipper’s Tom Roseen predicted that the average return for stock mutual funds this year would be just under 10 percent. Now he’s looking for another year like 2010, when the average return was 17 percent. The reason: U.S. stock mutual funds had an average return of 6 percent during the first quarter, their strongest start since 2006. They rose for the third straight quarter. They have risen seven of the past eight quarters. The good news: Many of the reasons for the rally are still in place. The economy is growing, unemployment is declining and interest rates are low. But oil that costs $106 a barrel is a concern. One surprise in the first

METZ CULINARY MANAGEMENT

By JIM ROMANOFF

THE EXPANSIVE NATURE OF THE PASSOVER

seder gathering can present a fantastic opportunity to use food to bring together the different elements that are part of each family’s history. Because Jews have spread to all parts of the world, dishes that may be traditional at Passover for many families often take on regional characteristics that can make the meal downright exotic, says Jewish cooking expert Joan Nathan, author most recently of “Quiches, Kugels and Couscous.”

For The Associated Press

For instance, during her seder Nathan serves several varieties of haroset, a mixture of sweet fruits and nuts that is meant to symbolize the mortar used by Jewish slaves to build for their masters. She always includes two versions of a traditional Eastern European haroset made of apples, walnuts, cinnamon and wine to celebrate her and her husband’s heritage. But then Nathan offers versions of the dish from other regions, such as a Venetian variation based on chestnut paste, dates, dried figs and nuts.

Nathan also always includes a course of gefilte fish, a minced fish quenelle, which she prepares from her mother-in-law’s family recipe. When it comes to the main course, Nathan plans to include an Algerian-style beef cheek stew with cilantro and cumin that she discovered from a friend in Paris. One benefit of this exotic stew is that it is meant to be made a day ahead, then reheated. This not only improves flavor but also frees up the host See PASSOVER, Page 2C

We can’t get our fill of fajitas FAJITAS are a dish with roots in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. Originally prepared by ranch workers, the dish has evolved into many variations. While those early ranch workers used strips of beef or “Fajas,” the American version also can include poultry, pork or seafood. Whatever the version, it has certainly put itself on the culinary map of the United States.

PORK FAJITAS WITH MANGO SALSA 2-3 pounds pork tenderloin 1 large onion, cut into rounds 1 each red and green bell pepper 6 warm flour tortillas MANGO SALSA 2 medium mangoes 1 ⁄2 medium jalapeno chile, seeded and minced 1 ⁄2 medium red onion 2 tablespoons cilantro leaves, chopped 2 scallions, sliced thin 1 tablespoons lime juice 2 tablespoons olive oil MARINADE 1 ⁄2 cup lime juice 1 ⁄3 cup tequila 1 ⁄3 cup olive oil 4 cloves minced garlic 1 tablespoon molasses 1 ⁄2 teaspoon ground cumin 1 ⁄2 teaspoon black pepper 1 ⁄2 teaspoon salt

A Passover seder gathering presents a great opportunity to use food to bring together elements of each family’s history. A beef-cheek stew with cilantro and cumin fits right into such a menu.

Remove outer membrane from the pork and marinate in nonreactive bowl for 2-3 hours. Pat dry, reserving marinade. Add olive oil to medium pan and heat for two minutes. Add pork and onions. Cut peppers into 1⁄4-inch strips and add to pan. Brown pork on all sides while mixing onions and peppers. Transfer to a 9-by-12-inch baking dish. First add peppers and onions, than lay pork on top. Pour half of the reserved marinade over pork. Cover with foil and bake at 375 for 25 minutes. Prepare mango salsa by peeling and dicing fresh mango into 1 ⁄4- inch dice. Toss with lime juice, red onion, jalapeno, scallions and cilantro. Add salt and pepper to taste. When pork is ready, slice and place on warmed tortilla shell and add onions and peppers. Garnish with cheddar cheese and sour cream, if desired.

Beyond the box: Wine now bagged in elegant barrels By MICHELLE LOCKE For The Associated Press

Selling wine by the glass is hot, but having half-empty bottles left over is not, something that has prompted restaurants and bars to explore new delivery systems from sophisticated preservation devices to kegs that keep wine on tap. One of the latest variations on the theme has a back-to-the-future aspect: The wine is packaged in plastic bags similar to those used in boxed wines, but in this case the bag is housed in an elegant wooden barrel. “This is the reinterpretation of history,” says Jean-Charles Boisset, president of Boisset Family Estates. “We wanted to create something very unique for restaurants and hotels and eventually for someone at home.”

Boisset Family Estates runs DeLoach Vineyards in the Russian River Valley region of Sonoma County, which has been selling what they call the barrel-tobarrel concept for more than a year and recently launched the program at the company’s St. Helena-based Raymond Vineyards. As with boxed wines, the bagin-barrel approach comes with the advantage of not having to ship and recycle glass bottles. And the wine stays fresh longer. According to Boisset, the unfilled 10-liter bag weighs about 68 grams, 99 percent less than a nine-liter case of empty glass bottles. So far, about 800 of the 10-liter barrels have been shipped to restaurants and bars. DeLoach also recently introduced a 3-liter version for home use. The Raymond

director Brad Wermager said he was drawn to the concept because it was different and “we liked the idea that it was good for the environment.” Wildfire has 30 wines available by the glass and Wermager has considered buying wine in kegs, which is another way to save on bottle waste. He likes the fact that the barrel is something that can be put on display. “It’s a good conversation piece,” he says. Bag-in-box wines have come a long way since the days when they were mostly the punch line to jokes. Many have won high AP PHOTO praise, and they’re becoming a Jean-Charles Boisset, president of Boisset Family Estates, draws more common sight on store wine from a barrel-to-barrel dispenser at Raymond Vineyards in shelves.

“Of course I did,” she says with a laugh. “But I think we have really worked hard on trying to keep the wine as fresh as possible. We’re bottling the wine every three months, that way we’re really keeping it fresh and vibrant for the consumer.” At the Captain’s Tavern in Miami, Bill Bowers who owns the restaurant with wife Audrey, put the DeLoach barrel in about four months ago and “we’ve had good luck with it,” he says. The only problem is that due to state regulations he can only get the 3-liter bags, which means on a busy night the bag has to be changed and, when the level drops, the glass can take a while to fill. Still, “the quality of the See WINE, Page 2C

“The container is becoming less of an issue and the only way it is an issue is if we get a, ‘Wow, isn’t that cool!’ response,” Sbrocco says. “It’s cool that there’s a plastic bottle or it’s cool if there’s wine on tap or it’s cool if there’s wine in a can.

part of a general evolution of wine packaging as the industry and consumers have gotten used to more than the traditional bottle and cork. In addition to wine-on-tap systems for commercial and athome settings, boxed wine companies have upgraded the design of packaging, with a few companies opting for reusable wooden boxes.
