WASHINGTON On the
fence no longer, President Ba-
rack Obama declared his une-
quivocal support for gay mar-
riage on Wednesday, a historic
announcement that gave the
polarizing social issue a more
prominent role inthe 2012 race
for the White House.
The announcement was the
first by a sitting president, and
Republican challenger Mitt
Romney swiftly disagreedwith
it. I believe that marriage is
between a man and a woman,
he said while
campaigning
in Oklahoma.
Gay rights
advocates cheered Obamas
declaration, which they had
long urged him to make. Be-
yond the words, one man who
married his gay partner in
Washington, D.C., was stirred
to send a $25 contribution to
the presidents campaign.
Making a contribution is the
best way to say thank you,
said Stuart Kopperman.
Obama revealed his decision
after a series of events that
madeclear thepolitical ground
was shifting. He once opposed
gay marriage but more recent-
ly had said his views were
evolving.
In an interview with ABC in
which he blended the personal
and the presidential, Obama
said it wouldnt dawn on his
daughters, Sasha and Malia,
that some of their friends par-
ents wouldbetreateddifferent-
ly than others.
He said he also thought of
aides who are in incredibly
committed monogamous
same-sex relationships who
are raising kids together.
Obama added that he
thought about those soldiers
or airmen or Marines or sailors
who are out there fighting on
my behalf, and yet feel con-
strained even though now that
dont ask, dont tell is gone be-
cause theyre not able to com-
mit themselves in a marriage.

HUNTINGTON TWP. -- Judy
McHenry is proud to be the 26th post-
master at the Cambra Post Office but
has worked the past 10 months fearing
she would be the last.
Her small rural post office along the
Old Tioga Turnpike was one of 3,653
across the country targeted for closure
last year by the United States Postal
Service as part of its ongoing cost sav-
ing efforts. But word came Wednesday
that the financially strapped institution
will spare the post offices, instead opt-
ing to cut opening times to as few as
two hours per day at more than 13,000
post offices nationwide, including19 in
Luzerne County.
Thats fine with McHenry, who said
receiving the
good news made
her feel like
Christmas came
early.
The whole
thing has been
rough the past
year, she said,
noting that some
customers antici-
pating the
planned closure
canceled their PO
Boxes. Customers
she shared the
news with
Wednesday were
breathing a sigh
of relief.
McHenry noted
thevillagehas had
a post office since
1822, when it was
called Columbus.
Many of the post
offices on the clo-
sure list were like
Cambra, which
does not provide
delivery but has a
retail window and 35 PO Boxes in the
lobby. That is enough to keep the vil-
lage name alive.
Under the closure plan, the USPS
would have saved $200 million a year.
The new plan will save $500 million a
year once it is fully implemented in
2014.
The savings will come from worker
reductions. About 9,000 full-time post-
al employees that work at locations
where hours will be reduced to four or
two hours per day will become part
time and lose their benefits. Another
4,000 full-time employees at post offic-
es open six hours daily will see their
hours reduced to part-time, but will re-
tain benefits.
Other local post offices that were on
the list for closure include those in
Rock Glen and Weston, in Black Creek
Township, and one in Beach Haven, Sa-
lem Township. The announcement

AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER
S
eparated by more than 50 years and several wars, veteran Pete Cordelli, left, thanked Bryan Ander-
son for his service Wednesday night during a Veterans Appreciation Celebration at the Mohegan Sun
at Pocono Downs casino. Cordelli, 86, of Peckville, served in the U.S. Navy in World War II. Anderson, 31,
of Chicago, a former U.S. Army sergeant, lost both legs and his left hand when he was wounded by an
improvised explosive device in Iraq in October 2005. See the story, 3A.
SCRANTON Former state
Sen. Robert Mellow pleaded
guilty Wednesday tomail fraud
and tax evasion charges, but he
maintained the option to with-
draw the plea should a federal
judge reject certain terms of an
agreement reached with prose-
cutors.
Mellow, 69, of Peckville, en-
tered the plea to one count
each of conspiracy to commit
mail fraud and filing a false tax
return before U.S. District
Judge Joel Slomsky in federal
court in Scranton.
Federal prosecutors say Mel-
lowutilized Senate staff to per-
form campaign work for him-
self and other politicians on
state time from 2006 to 2010.
He is also charged with under-
reporting income on his 2008
return.
Mellow answered a series of
routine questions posed by
Slomsky during the roughly
1
1
2-hour plea hearing. He was
released pending sentencing,
which has yet to be scheduled.
Mellow, a former Democrat-
ic leader, served the 22nd Dis-
trict, which includes Avoca,
Duryea and Dupont, for 40
years before he retired in No-
vember 2010.
Prosecutors say he conspir-
ed with a senior Senate aide
and another person, neither of
whom have been identified or
charged, to have staff conduct
campaign work on state time.

WILKES-BARRE Insisting he
was making the move for no other
reason than that he felt its time,
Wilkes-Barre Area School District
Superintendent Jeff Namey an-
nounced at the school boards regu-
lar monthly meeting Wednesday
that he will retire, effective Aug. 31
of this year, concluding 16 years as
district head and 42 as district em-
ployee..
I had always hoped that when I
ended my career, there would be
peace and tranquility in my work en-
vironment, Namey said at the start
of a brief, prepared statement. Un-
fortunately, I have come to realize
that there will never be a tranquil
time in this setting.
Public comments before the an-
nouncement certainly reinforced
that belief. Namey and the board
tangled with two frequent critics,
Tracy Hughes and Bob Kadluboski.
Hughes criticized the districts read-
ing program and insisted most
teachers disliked it, a charge Namey
repeatedly and strongly rejected.
Kadluboski pulled out a stuffed
white pig he introduced as his sec-
ond opinion, then incorrectly blast-
ed the school board for letting

Namey retire with an annual pen-
sion of $170,000. Kadluboski
turned to the pig perched on the
podium and asked, Pig, do you
think this is piggish? then
squealed like a pig in response.
Its piggism, Kadluboski
said.
Namey is entitled to a pension
equal to 100 percent of his cur-
rent salary of $161,544, but the
school board had no input into
that arrangement. In fact, many
school boards have grumbled
that a change in state lawin 2001,
which bumped the maximum
pension for public school teach-
ers and administrators from75 to
100 percent of salary after 40
years, has forced dramatic in-
creases in the amount local dis-
tricts are require to pay into the
pension fund.
Kadluboski also asked if
Nameywouldcontinuetoreceive
district health insurance.
Nameys contract provides family
medical and health insurance
coverage until age 70 he is 66.
But hemust paythefirst $1,000in
premiums in each month. That
money comes from a health in-
surance reimbursement provided
to retirees through the same
state-runsystemthat governs the
pension.
Namey is also entitled be cov-
ered by the districts whole-life
insurance programinthe amount
of $15,000. And his contract pro-
vides retirement incentives the
same as or similar to those of-
fered to other administrators, in-
cluding reimbursement for up to
100 accumulated unused vaca-
tion days and unlimited accumu-
lated unused sick days. He also
will get a lump-sum retirement
incentive payment based on his
last years salary.
Business Manager Leonard
Przywarasaidhehas not calculat-
ed what all of that will add up to.
In most cases, the amounts rely
on terms in either the central
staff administrator agreement,
which covers a handful of staff in
the central office, or the Act 93
agreement, which covers other
administrators such as school
principals
Namey flatly denied rumors he
plans to retire and seek another
full-time position in education,
including the claims he will be-
come executive director of the
Luzerne Intermediate Unit, an
agency that provides a variety of
services to area schools, primar-
ily special education. Namey
chuckled at the suggestion.
If wanted to keep working full
time, Id stay here, he said.
He is walking away froma con-
tract good through June 2015.
Namey said he will take a break,
but conceded he might look for
limited part-time work to keep
busy.
This is not the first time he has
announced his retirement,
though in previous efforts he was
persuaded by the board to recon-
sider and stay on. That doesnt
seem likely this time; six board
members questioned said they
would not try to dissuade him.
Board President Maryanne
Toole has said she would like to
appoint an interim superintend-
ent while the district conducts a
wide search and considers bring-
ing someone in from outside, a
move Vice President Lynn Evans
agreed with after the meeting.
But they may meet resistance.
Board members John Quinn,
Dino Galella and Louis Elmy all
saidafter the meetingtheywould
prefer finding someone suitable
from within. Galella and Quinn,
both former district educators
and administrators who worked
with Namey, said they felt there
were enough qualified candi-
dates in the district who would
know the teachers and students.
Galella and Quinn said the dis-
trict is losing a man with tremen-
dous knowledge of the district
and of the complexities of public
education rules and regulations.
He knows the ins and outs, all
the little things, Galella said.
Thats irreplaceable.
Quinn noted Namey started
working for the district in 1970,
when I started, and that he
had to adapt to so many chang-
es, especially demographic
changes. Our district has become
an urban district.
Deputy Superintendent Ber-
nard Prevuznak read a statement
on behalf of administrators
thanking Namey for his years of
service, personal sacrifice and
dedication. Prevuznak is likely
first in line to become interimsu-
perintendent if the board con-
ducts a long search. Asked if he
would apply for Nameys job, he
noted the possible temporary po-
sitions, smiled and said, Lets
just see how the interim goes.
Namey closed his prepared
statement by saying the Wilkes-
Barre Area School District, its
staff and students have been a
major part of my life and I will
miss them terribly. Thank you.
After the meeting, he conced-
ed that people frequently have
disagreed with his decisions, but
that I did the very best I could.

Shickshinny takes issue
with FEMA determination
SHICKSHINNY Council
took issue Tuesday night with
the Federal Emergency Man-
agement Agency over its re-
cent flood elevation determi-
nations that affect renovation
work at the municipal building
on West Union Street.
Because FEMA changed the
elevation from that which
existed in the 100-year flood
plain plan that was in force
when the building was con-
structed, Melissa Weber, secre-
tary-treasurer, said officials
now say the building must be
flood proofed on the first floor.
That would entail more
extensive work and materials
to renovate the structure dur-
ing phases that may include
rehabilitation of space in the
building that has been pro-
posed for leasing to Berwick
Hospital.
Weber said that since FEMA
grant money will be used for
the project, the agency is also
exercising its authority to
specify reconstruction work.
Councilman Kevin Morris
said that because federal offi-
cials raised the levee system in
the Wyoming Valley, resulting
in more severe flooding in
Shickshinny during the fall of
2011, the borough must now
bear an unfair additional bur-
den through the dictates of
federal officials.
We may have to step back
and think about the future of
this building, Morris said,
including the possibility of
demolition.
The debate on the structure
centered on completing a lease
agreement with Berwick Hos-
pital.
We need to get moving on
this building, Rosalie White-
bread, council chairperson,
said.

Duryea council looks at

DURYEA Council Presi-

Tuesday night spoke of cre-
ating a 10-year plan with the
federal governments help to
clean up and improve the
borough in the wake of last
years flooding.
Marcinko said she hopes an
effort can be coordinated with
residents volunteering. The
Federal Emergency Manage-
ment Agency stated that Du-
ryea needs to learn to commu-
nicate and cooperate.
The council is looking for
ideas and volunteers to help
improve the borough. Further
updates will be posted through
the newspaper.

Rice Twp. eyes private
emergency services
RICE TWP. -- Representa-
tives from Century Medical
Response, a private emergency
services firm in Wilkes-Barre,
spoke to township residents
last night to learn if the super-
visors would allow them to
serve as the townships pri-
mary medical responders.
David Hontz, a manager for
the firm, said he clocked their
travel time to the meeting,
saying it took them 20 minutes
to reach the township from
their Wilkes-Barre office.
Dan Nawrocki, also a man-
ager, brought up the town-
ships current response service,
reminding his audience that
basic life support responders
travel from Mountain Top,
while advanced life support
responders must travel from
Hanover Township.
Nawrocki said an ambulance
would be parked within the
township and staffed all day,
every day. He said the compa-
ny would not charge the town-
ship for the service, rather it
would bill patients insurance
for emergency transport.
Residents were concerned
about paying for the service.
Assistant Fire Chief Don Bly
said that Hanover and Moun-
tain Tops services were more
than adequate. He cited two
incidents within the last three
weeks in which Hanovers
advanced support medics
arrived within 6 minutes of the
911 calls.
Bly said currently, Mountain
Top stations an ambulance in
Rice Township and, if needed,
it is available for township use.

OLD FORGE State police
on Wednesday night arrested
borough police Chief Lawrence
Semenza in the ongoing probe
of thesexual assault of a15-year-
old girl.
Semenza was the third per-
son charged in the alleged as-
sault at the borough fire depart-
ment, which is attached to the
police station on Main Street.
State police said Semenza
had sexual contact with the girl
over a nearly three-year period
from November 2004 to March
30, 2007.
He was charged with aggra-
vated indecent assault, unlaw-
ful contact with a minor, inde-
cent exposure, corruption of
minors, indecent assault and
person required to report sus-
pected child abuse.
Semenza was arraigned by
District Judge Laura Turlip in
Archbald and released from the
Lackawanna County Prison af-
ter posting 10 percent of his
$50,000 bail.
He had been put on adminis-
trative leave last week after
state police arrested borough
police Capt. Jamie Krenitsky,
34, in connection with the
probe. A former volunteer fire-
fighter, Walter Chiavacci, 46, al-
so was charged.
Krenitsky and Chiavacci al-
legedly sexually assaulted the
girl in 2005.
The victim, now23, reported
the alleged assaults to the Lack-
awanna County District Attor-
neys Office last week. She be-
came a member of the bor-
oughs fire department in 2004,
according to arrest papers.

As part of a $16.5 million
bridge replacement project, a
contractor for the Pennsylvania
Department of Transportation
will begin placing beams on the
St. Marys/Cemetery Bridge on
Monday.
The work will take place Mon-
day through Thursday, and will
require the closure of a south-
bound travel lane between Exit
184 (Moosic Street) and Exit 182
(Davis Street/Montage Moun-
tain Road).
In addition to the single-lane
closure, each day there will be
three or four intermittent, short-
term rolling road blocks that will
require the complete stoppage of
traffic in both southbound lanes
for approximately five minutes as
the beams are set into place.
The project is set to be com-
pleted this November.

WILKES-BARRE The city an-
nounced Wednesday a grassroots
community initiative called Build-
ing Bridges aimed at healing a com-
munity rocked by last months fatal
shooting of 14-year-old Tyler Win-
stead.
The Rev. Shawn Walker of the First
Baptist Church and the Rev. Michael
Brewster of Mt. Zion Baptist Church
worked with Mayor Tom Leighton
and the city to design the initiative to
reduce crime.
Walker said he has seen a range of
emotions -- from frustration to anger
to compassion-- inpeople he has talk-
ed to, and all are interested in finding
ways to make the streets safer.
We hope to elevate the public de-
bate in our community beyond the
cynical negativity of identifying prob-
lems without committing to working
on the needed solution, Walker said.
We want this campaign to help all
of us, from every part of this commu-
nity, to understand and learn of our
issues and then move from conversa-
tion to action in order to make a dif-
ference in our community.
Walker said many people have
been reaching out to him and Brew-
ster, asking what can be done.
He said there has been an outpour-
ing of community support for an ini-
tiative to address concerns.
Considering the way the Win-
stead death grabbed the heart of the
community, we wanted to make sure
we responded and did all we could to
find solutions, Walker said.
We want to build bridges between
the city and the public and between
people to people.
Leighton said the campaigns pur-
pose is to assemble city community
leaders fromall walks of life to identi-
fy the pressing issues and recom-
mend strategies and solutions to
combat those problems effectively.
Five meetings have beenscheduled
for May andJune tobe heldinWilkes-
Barre Area School District buildings.
Our goal for these meetings is to
provide an open and honest environ-
ment for the people to discuss issues
among their friends, families, and
neighbors, Leighton said.
The challenges that we face as a
city in many ways extend beyond the
simple reach of the administration

PLYMOUTH TWP. The
Avondale Mine reclamation
project is back on track,
thanks to a million-dollar
grant from the state Depart-
ment of Environmental Pro-
tection.
The grant, announced
Wednesday, was awarded to
C.E. Ankiewicz Construction
and Excavation Inc. of Moun-
tain Top, to reclaimthe Avon-
dale strip mine pit, which was
abandoned in 1959. Ankiew-
icz replaces NAPCON Con-
struction Co., which was re-
moved by DEP earlier this
year due to inaction on the
project.
Were thrilled to see this
project resumed, said Gale
Conrad, chairwoman of the
Plymouth Township Board of
Supervisors. Once its com-
pleted, we hope to see the
land developed with housing
which is critical to the town-
ships financial future.
Many township residents
homes were flooded in Sep-
tember and they are awaiting
buyouts on their properties.
Conrad said many would like
to remaininthe township and
could be interested in build-
ing in the Avondale area.
This could be critical for
our future financial resolve,
she said. There isnt a lot of
buildable land in the town-
ship.
Colleen Connelly, DEP re-
gional spokesperson, said
work is expected to be fin-
ished by early February 2013.
NAPCON was not paid for
any work done, she said.
Theproject includes 98,800
cubic yards of rock andsoil re-
graded, 14,390 cubic yards of
soil excavated to control
drainage at the site, 10,090
square yards of rockliningput
down to stabilize the site and
92 acres of vegetation and
trees seeded on the site for
reclamation and beautifica-
tion.
State Sen. John Yudichak,
D-Plymouth Township, said
the DEP grant is welcome
news.
The area of the Avondale
strip mine pit has been a
dumping ground and eyesore
for years, he said. I am
pleased the townships strong
work with DEP is moving the
project toward completion.
This important project will re-
move mining scars from our
landscape while providingop-
portunities for future growth
in Plymouth Township.
The grant was part of $2.3
million in awards DEP an-
nounced for remediation pro-
jects at abandoned mine sites
across the state.
The remediation will re-
claim181 acres to pre-mining
conditions and prevent more
than 75,000 gallons a day of
acid mine drainage fromreac-
hing waterways.

PLAINS TWP. Even though his
next big race is in June, Timothy
ODonnell has his sights focused be-
yond the event.
The 31-year-old Shavertown native
and Wyoming Seminary and U.S. Na-
val Academy grad will compete June
24 in the Ironman competition in
Coeur dAlene, Idaho.
Yet hes committed to helping veter-
ans returning home from the Iraq and
Afghanistan wars through Team Red,
White & Blue.
ODonnell, who held the number
one ranking in the sport of triathlon
last year for eight months, was the fea-
tured speaker Wednesday night at a
Veterans Appreciation Celebration at
the Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs
casino.
The team, he said, is taking an indi-
vidual approachtowardhelping the re-
turning veterans reintegrate into so-
ciety.
Were trying to say, Hey, lets get
people in the community to gather
around our veterans and lets get them
a local support group, he said. The
fledgling team has programs in major
metropolitan areas such as Houston,
Texas, and Washington, D.C., and
would like to create one locally.
We dont have a group here in
Wilkes-Barre yet, and thats part of
what this events for is to get that com-
munity going, he said.
Funds raised from the dinner were
shared between the team, Catholic So-
cial Services andthe NEPAMulti-Care
Veterans Alliance.
The alliance is holding an employ-
ment boot camp on May 31 at Kings
College.
This is definitely a new approach,
acknowledged ODonnell.
But the bigger the challenge, the
more ODonnell has always responded
by training and persevering, he added.
Passion and perseverance, thats
what my athletic career has always
been about, he said.
The team promotes a physical com-
ponent to the reintegration through,
among things, organizing races.
U.S. Army Maj. Mike Erwin, execu-
tive director of the team, said veterans
gain not only health benefits, but also
psychological benefits of setting goals
and accomplishing them.
Perhaps most importantly, theres a
built-in social support infrastructure
where basically youre connecting
withother peopleina veryorganic and
natural way, said Erwin, who teaches
at the U.S. Military Academy at West
Point, N.Y.
Team will aid vets returning from war

HARRISBURG The Penn-
sylvania Senate on Wednesday
passed a $27.7 billion spending
plan that would erase many cuts
proposed by Gov. Tom Corbett,
setting the stage for negotiations
over the state budget that must
be in place by July 1.
The plan penned by the Senate
GOP majority was approved on a
39-8 vote and sent to the House
after a brief debate in which
Democrats pressed unsuccess-
fully for additional spending for
poor adults, early childhood edu-
cation and health care for the
poor. Republicans defended the
proposal as a solid starting point.
This plan does not create a
single new program. It does not
raise a single tax, said Majority
Leader Dominic Pileggi, R-Dela-
ware. This is a responsible, sus-
tainable state budget.
The proposal counts on about
$900 million fromtax collections
that are more robust than pro-
jected during the current and
next fiscal years. It would tap
that money to increase spending
by about $500 million in the
2012-13 budget and forestall
some cuts Corbett has proposed
in education, social services and
other areas.
In an out-of-town speech be-
fore the Senate session, Corbett
defended his austere approach to
running the state government
and said the state must conserve
its revenue topay for the ever-spi-
raling bill for public employee
pensions.
Were going to need that mon-
ey, the Republican told about
300 business people attending a
Harrisburg Regional Chamber
breakfast in Grantville, about 10
miles outside the capital.
Corbett did not rule out the
possibility that he would support
morespendingthantheflat-fund-
ed $27.1 billion he proposed in
February. But he expressed skep-
ticism that revenue collections
would continue to outstrip pro-
jections and made it clear he con-
siders a half-billion-dollar in-
crease excessive.
I would consider that to be a
ceiling in looming budget talks
with legislative leaders, he said.
These are negotiations and ne-
gotiations have two ends andyou
work toward something in be-
tween.
The Senate spending plan for
2012-13 is nearly 2 percent more
than the governor proposed, but
still less than the three previous
fiscal years because of the expira-
tion of federal stimulus money
and an ongoing recovery from
the recession.
The bill would add money to
reduce Corbetts proposed cuts
to state-supported universities,
public schools, hospitals, nurs-
ing homes and people who de-
pend on county-run social servic-
es.
It would maintain Corbetts
proposals for a $275 million busi-
ness-tax cut and the elimination
of the $150 million temporary
cash-assistance programfor poor
adults, while leaving intact most
of the deep cuts in public school
aid that were in this years bud-
get.
House Majority Leader Mike
Turzai said the House Appropri-
ations Committee will reviewthe
Senate bill and work with GOP
leadership to craft an amend-
ment that reflects the caucus
preference. The Allegheny Coun-
ty Republican called the Senate
bill a good work product that
would keep the spending in-
crease below the inflation rate.
The looming negotiations will
be mainly among Republicans,
who control the executive and
legislative branches, although
the governor, the Senate and the
House often have conflicting pri-
orities.
Twelve of the Senates 20 Dem-
ocrats voted for the bill, along
with all 27 Republicans who
were present.
Corbett blamed the mush-
rooming pension costs largely on
past increases in benefits and
past underfunding. He said the
tab is expected to growfrom$1.6
billion in the year that starts July
1 to $4.2 billion four years from
now.
The governor said he and leg-
islative leaders are beginning a
dialogue about a long-termsolu-
tion.

DARAA, SYRIA
Top UN observer near blast
A
roadside bomb hit a Syrian mil-
itary truck Wednesday just seconds
after the head of the U.N. observer
team drove by in a convoy, demonstra-
ting the fragility of the international
plan to end the countrys bloodshed.
In Washington, President Barack
Obama took steps to extend sanctions
against the government of President
Bashar Assad, saying Syria poses an
unusual and extraordinary threat to
U.S. security and diplomatic goals.
The attack, which the regime said
wounded 10 Syrian soldiers, empha-
sized the limits of the international
communitys plan to use unarmed
observers to promote a cease-fire be-
tween government troops and rebels
trying to topple Assad.
JAKARTA, INDONESIA
Russian jet, 50 aboard, lost
A new Russian-made passenger
plane went missing over mountains in
western Indonesia while on a demon-
stration flight Wednesday arranged for
potential buyers. Fifty people were on
board, including diplomats, business-
people and journalists.
Search teams were deployed to the
area, said Bambang Ervan, of the Min-
istry of Transportation. He said more
than 100 people were still searching
after darkness fell.
The Sukhoi Superjet-100 took off at
2:21 p.m. for what was supposed to be
a quick test flight.
It dropped off the radar just 21 min-
utes later, shortly after the crew asked
for permission to drop from10,000 feet
to 6,000 feet. They didnt explain the
change of course.
CHICAGO
Hudson case headed to jury
The defense for the man accused of
killing relatives of Jennifer Hudson
told jurors Wednesday that prosecutors
failed to prove their case, while a prose-
cutor countered that they had over-
whelming circumstantial evidence
linking him to the crime.
Prosecutor Jennifer Bagby insisted
during her closing argument that Hud-
sons former brother-in-law, William
Balfour, is the killer and showed jurors
photos of the victims bloody bodies
juxtaposed with pictures of them alive.
Hudson, who attended every day of
testimony in her former brother-in-
laws murder trial, bent forward, her
head on her knee, and sobbed as Bagby
described what she called the execu-
tion of Hudsons mother, brother and
7-year-old nephew in October 2008.
LOS ANGELES
Stylist Vidal Sassoon dead
Hairstylist Vidal Sassoon, who undid
the beehive with his wash-and-wear
cuts and went on to become an in-
ternational name in hair care, died
Wednesday. He was 84.
Sassoon died at his home in Los
Angeles, police spokesman Kevin Mai-
berger said. Officers were summoned
to the home at about 10:30 a.m., where
they found Sassoon dead with his fam-
ily. They determined he died of natural
causes, and there will be no further
police investigation, Maiberger said.
When Sassoon started out in the
1950s, styled hair was typically curled,
teased, piled high and shellacked into
place. Then in the 1960s, Sassoons
creative cuts, which required little
styling and fell into place perfectly
every time, fit right in with the fledg-
ling womens liberation movement.
Women were going back to work,
they were assuming their own power.
They didnt have time to sit under the
dryer anymore, Sassoon said in 1993
in the Los Angeles Times.

Like something out of Dickens
Pakistani Jaafar Sakhawat, 8, who
works in a brick factory, looks up while
taking a break Wednesday on the
outskirts of Islamabad, Pakistan.
WASHINGTONA decade
after hijackers mostly from
Saudi Arabia attacked the Unit-
ed States with passenger jets,
the Saudis have emerged as the
principal allyof the U.S. against
al-Qaidas spinoff group in Ye-
menandat least twice have dis-
rupted plots to explode sophis-
ticated bombs aboard airlines.
Details emerging about the
latest unraveled plot revealed
that a Saudi double agent
fooled the terror group, known
as al-Qaida in the Arabian Pen-
insula, passing himself off as an
eager would-be suicide bom-
ber. Instead, he secretly turned
over the groups most up-to-
date underwear bomb to Saudi
Arabia, which gave it to the
CIA. Before he was whisked to
safety, the spy provided intelli-
gence that helped the CIA kill
al-Qaidas senior operations
leader, Fahd al-Quso, who died
in a drone strike last weekend.
The role of Saudi Arabia dis-
rupting the plot follows warn-
ings in 2010 from the oil-rich
kingdom about a plot to blow
up cargo planes inside the U.S.,
either on runways or over
American cities. That plot in-
volved a frantic chase across
five countries of two packages
containing bombs powerful
enough to down an airplane.
Twice, a bomb was aboard a
passenger plane. Once, author-
ities were just minutes too late
to stop a cargo jet with a bomb
fromdeparting for its next des-
tination. Ultimately, no one
diedandthe packages never ex-
ploded.
It hasnt always been this
way.
Saudi Arabia, the one-time
home of Osama bin Laden,
failed to spot and stop the 15
Saudi-born hijackers of the 19
who carried out the September
2001 terror attacks. Questions
remain whether two Saudi citi-
zens who had at least indirect
links with two of the hijackers
were reporting to Saudi gov-
ernment officials. U.S. law en-
forcement officials accused the
Saudi government of failing to
help adequately in investiga-
tions of the al-Qaida attack on
the USS Cole in Yemen in 2000
andHezbollahs bombingof the
Khobar Towers housing com-
plex, which killed19 U.S. servi-
cemen in 1996.
But a series of devastating al-
Qaida strikes against Saudi tar-
gets in 2003 and more recently,
fears al-Qaida could try to trig-
ger Arab Spring-style revolts in
the kingdom, has energizedthe
Saudi government in its war
against al-Qaidas spinoff in Ye-
men, which is composed most-
ly of ex-Saudi militants. Saudi
Arabia and the U.S. with
help fromYemens government
have joined forces to pene-
trate the terror group at the
highest levels. Drone strikes
have killed U.S.-born Anwar al-
Awlaki last summer and al-Qu-
so, his successor, more recent-
ly.
Al-Quso personally briefed
the Saudi double agent, giving
him open-ended instructions
to pick a U.S.-bound plane on a
day of his choosing. Al-Quso
was hit in part due to informa-
tion gleaned from the double-
agent, according to two former
officials, speaking on condition
of anonymity.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.
Public libraries in several
states are pulling the racy ro-
mance trilogy Fifty Shades of
Grey from shelves or decid-
ing not to order the best-seller
at all, saying its too steamy or
too poorly written.
Even in the age of e-books
and tablets, banning a book
from a public library still car-
ries weight because libraries
still play such a vital role in
providing people access to
books.
When a book is removed
from the shelf, folks who cant
afford a Nook or a Kindle, the
book is no longer available to
them, said Deborah Caldwell
Stone, the deputy director of
the American Library Associ-
ations office for intellectual
freedom.
Fifty Shades of Grey, a
novel about bondage, wild sex
and, yes, love, has been called
mommy porn because of its
popularity among middle-
agedwomen. It has become so
well-known that Saturday
Night Live performed a skit
about it, joking that a Kindle
with Fifty Shades uploaded
on it was the perfect Mothers
Day gift.
This week, the steamy
books hold the top three spots
on the New York Times best-
seller list.
Libraries in Wisconsin, Ge-
orgia and Florida have all ei-
ther declined to order the
book or pulled it fromshelves.
Other states may soon follow.
Its semi-pornographic,
said Don Walker, a spokesman
for Brevard County, Fla.,
where the libraryput19copies
of the book on the shelves
then pulled the novel after
reading reviews about it.
About 200 notices had to go
out to people on a waiting list
to read it.
Librarians in at least four
Florida counties have de-
clined to buy the book even
though hundreds of people
have requested it.

BELLEFONTE The judge
in Jerry Sanduskys criminal trial
didnt rule right awayWednesday
on what information the defense
is entitled to from schools, child
services agencies and others, but
he said he wanted to swiftly re-
solve the disagreements and
push the case toward trial.
Judge John
Cleland also
didnt immedi-
ately rule on
lawyer Joe
Amendolas re-
quest to delay
the start of trial,
currently sched-
uled for June 5,
but he did open the hearing in
Bellefonte by noting the trial is
approaching for the former
Penn State assistant football
coach.
During the course of the hear-
ing, Cleland said he may throw
out parts of some defense sub-
poenas rather than quash entire
demands. He also suggested he
would review some of the docu-
mentation in private to try to
quickly resolve some of the dis-
agreements.
Sandusky, 68, is confinedto his
State College home to await the
start of his trial on 52 criminal
counts involving 10 boys over 15
years. He has denied the allega-
tions.
Amendola has made dozens of
requests for records or other ma-
terial, much of it background in-
formation on the accusers, in-
cluding school transcripts, med-
ical records going back to birth,
Internet search histories, Face-
book account details, employ-
ment-relateddocuments andcell-
phone and Twitter records.
Cleland said Wednesday that
several of the defense subpoenas
used an incorrect standard and
that he planned to quash only the
unsupportable parts of the sub-
poenas.
Amendola told the judge the
defense is looking for any evi-
dence that these students suf-
fered from behavioral issues,
mental health issues, prior to
their contact with The Second
Mileor thedefendant. Sandusky
founded The Second Mile as a
charity for at-risk youth and met
many of his allegedvictims there.
The charitys lawyer, Howard
Rosenthal, said it shouldnt be
forced to turn over the material.

WASHINGTON On the heels of
President Barack Obamas surprise visit
to Afghanistan last week, in which he
pledged to finish the job we started and
end this war responsibly, the American
publics support for the 11-year conflict
has reached a new low, according to a
poll.
Just 27 percent of respondents said
they back the U.S. military effort in Af-
ghanistan, the new Associated Press-Gfk
poll found. Of the 66 percent who said
they oppose the war, about half said they
believe the presence of American troops
in Afghanistan is doing more harm than
good.
But among all respondents, nearly half
48 percent said they think the con-
tinued U.S. military presence is doing
more to help Afghanistan become a sta-
ble democracy.
The poll also indicated a steep decline
in support for the war among Republi-
cans. Just 37 percent of Republican re-
spondents said they back the war, down
from58 percent last year. Support among
Democrats alsodropped, from30percent
to19 percent, while it remained at 27 per-
cent for independents.
Obama has pledged to keep American
troops in Afghanistan until the end of
2014, though a small counterterrorism
force may remain after the drawdown.
There are currently about 88,000 U.S.
troops there, plus forces from other NA-
TO allies.
By the APs count, at least 1,834 mem-
bers of the U.S. military have died in Af-
ghanistan as a result of the war.
I recognize that many Americans are
tired of war, Obama told the troops dur-
ing his visit to Afghanistan last week, in
which he signed a 10-year security pact
with Afghan President Hamid Karzai. I
will not keep Americans in harms way a
single day longer than is absolutely re-
quired for our national security. But we
must finish the job we started in Afghan-
istan and end this war responsibly.
The poll contained one bit of good
news for the president: A huge decrease
in the portion of respondents who said
they believe that the killing of Osama bin
Laden increased the threat of terrorism
against Americans.
P O L L O N A F G H A N I S TA N Results also indicate steep drop in backing from Republicans

THE BES T
WILKES-BARRE -- A city man
was arraigned Wednesday in
Wilkes-Barre Central Court on
charges he robbed the North End
Slovak Club on North Main
Street.
City police allege Anthony Gu-
tierrez, 33, of North Sherman
Street, robbed a bartender inside
the club on Tuesday.
Gutierrez
was charged
with robbery
and theft. He
was jailedat the
Luzerne Coun-
ty Correctional
Facility for lack
of $50,000 bail.
According to the criminal com-
plaint:
Gutierrez knocked on the door
and asked if he could wait inside
for a club member at about 12:30
a.m. Gutierrez sat at the bar and
waited for two patrons to leave
when he told the bartender to
give him money.
Gutierrez said he needed $80
because his daughter was sick.
He allegedly placed his hand in a
coat pocket, giving the impres-
sion he had a gun, telling the bar-
tender, Dont make me do any-
thing, the complaint says.
About five minutes after Gu-
tierrez left the club, the phone
rang withthe caller asking to talk
to Tony.
The bartender asked the caller,
Tony who? and heard what she
believed was Guterez, accord-
ing to the complaint.
The boyfriend of the bartender
identified Gutierrez to police.
City police said Gutierrez was
captured by Wilkes-Barre Town-
ship police at about 3 a.m.
Wednesday. Gutierrez is facing
robbery and terroristic threat
charges by township police.

PLAINS TWP. A man shot in
the face in what township police
believe was a gang-related inci-
dent outside a nightclub in 2010
was captured early Wednesday
morningbyU.S. Marshals inNew
Jersey.
Thomas Tonic, 19, was cap-
tured in Newark by the U.S. Mar-
shals on a warrant charging him
as a material witness, according
to the U.S. Marshals Service for
the Middle District of Pennsylva-
nia.
Tonic was being sought by the
Luzerne County District Attor-
neys Office after he failed to ap-
pear for several court proceed-
ings, including a preliminary
hearing for the alleged gunman
on March 30.
Township police allege Je-
rayme Johnson, 26, shot Tonic in
the face outside a nightclubat the
Woodlands Inn &Resort on June
18, 2010.
Johnson is a member of the
Bloods street gang and Tonic as-
sociates himself with the Crips,
according to the criminal com-
plaint charging Johnson with at-
tempted criminal homicide.
Johnson was captured in Hud-
son County, N.J., in December,
and extradited to Luzerne Coun-
ty in January.
According to the criminal com-
plaint:
Tonic identifiedJohnsonas the
person who shot him but refused
to sign Johnsons photo when a
photo array was shown to him.
After apprehension, Tonic was
turned over to the Newark Police
Department to await extradition
to Luzerne County, the U.S. Mar-
shals said.

HANOVER TWP. William Gronosky
got the idea of robbing a disabled man af-
ter overhearing two women talk about
their former roommate, according to
charges filed on Wednesday.
Townshippolice allege Gronosky, 29, of
West Church Street, Nanticoke, robbed
and tied up Anthony Passetti inside Pas-
settis house on Church Street on March
25.
Gronosky stole more than $8,400 in
electronics from the house and Passettis
2004 Ford Focus, which was pursued by a
Wilkes-Barrepoliceofficer intoLackawan-
na and Monroe counties.
Police said at the time that the driver of
the vehicle fired multiple shots at the pur-
suing officer, who was not injured.
Gronosky was arraigned by District
Judge Joseph Halesey in Hanover Town-
ship on two counts each with robbery and
criminal conspiracy, andonecount eachof
robbery of a vehicle, burglary and unlaw-
ful restraint. He was remanded to the Lu-
zerne County Correctional Facility for
lack of $50,000 on the latest charges.
Gronosky has been charged with bur-
glarizing a state police troopers house in
Laflin and robbing, along with Kevin Wil-
liams Jr., 29, the Carousel Lounge adult
club in Plymouth Township.
Police also charged Gronoskys live-in
girlfriend, AshleyE. Evans, 23, withcrimi-
nal conspiracy for her alleged role in the
home invasion in Hanover Township. She
wasarrestedWednesdayafternoonat Gro-
noskys preliminary hearing before Nanti-
coke District Judge Donald Whittaker on
the Carousel Lounge robbery charges.
Evans, an exotic dancer facing unrelat-
ed charges she assaulted another dancer
in the Cabaret Lounge in Kingston, strug-
gled with police when she was arrested in
front of Gronosky, who erupted in a pro-
fanity-laced tirade.
According to the criminal complaint:
Passetti told police he arrived home
from grocery shopping at about 9:15 p.m.
onMarch25andwas confrontedby a gun-
man outside. He told the gunman he had
cerebral palsy, to which the gunman said,
I know.
Passetti saidhis hands were tiedbehind
him, a towel was placed over his head and
a sock was stuffed in his mouth.
Gronosky was upset that he was sent to
the house for nothing, and repeatedly
asked Passetti if he knew anybody that
would want to set him up, the criminal
complaint says.
Police allege Evans gave Gronosky a
ride to Passettis house.
Gronoskywas capturedinMontgomery
County on April 15.
He allegedly told police he decided to
rob Passetti after overhearing two women
talk about items inside his house.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled on
May 30.
Charges: Gronosky robbed disabled man
Authorities say an overheard
conversation led to crime in March.

WILKES-BARREAcity man
charged with committing a
string of robberies in the Wyom-
ingValley tosupport a heroinad-
diction was sentenced Wednes-
day to 2to 5 years in state pris-
on.
Luzerne County Senior Judge
Joseph Augello sentenced Da-
niel Ungarsky, 28, of North
Washington Street, on five
counts of robbery, one count of
forgery and one count of theft.
Ungarsky was also given two
years probation.
He could have faced a maxi-
mumof 10years inprisononsev-
eral of the robbery charges, but
was given a leaner sentence, Au-
gello said, so he can participate
ina boot campprogramwhile in-
carcerated.
Every single crime Ive ever
committed was because of hero-
in, Ungarsky told Augello.
Imtruly sorry for what I did.
I want to stay clean so I dont
commit crimes (in the future),
he said.
His attorney, Allyson Kacmar-
ski, said her client has been in
and out of rehab, and has regu-
larly beenattendingdrug-and-al-
cohol counseling.
Kacmarski asked that her cli-
ent be made eligible for the boot
camp programbecause both she
and Ungarsky felt the structure
and discipline of the program
would be beneficial to him.
Assistant District Attorney
Frank McCabe said its evident
Ungarsky has a serious drug
problem.
Hes willing to do anything to
get those drugs hes addicted
to, McCabe said.
Ungarsky pleaded guilty to
each of the charges.
Police say Ungarsky commit-
ted the robberies to support a
heroin addiction, and that after
learning he used the same nee-
dle as someone infectedwiththe
AIDS virus, he went on a ram-
page.
According to court papers, be-
ginning on Nov. 13, Ungarsky
committed a string of robberies
in the Wyoming Valley:
Nov. 13 Taco Bell, Kidder
Street, Wilkes-Barre, where po-
lice say Ungarsky told a clerk he
had a gun and would shoot her if
she did not hand over money.
Nov. 14 Uni Mart, North
Main Street, Plains Township,
where Ungarsky allegedly dis-
played a knife and fled from the
store.
Nov. 14 Family Dollar,
Union Street, Luzerne, where
Ungarsky allegedly told a clerk
he had a gun and mace and apol-
ogized for robbing the store.
Nov. 14 McDonalds, Kid-
der Street, Wilkes-Barre, police
say Ungarsky gave a cashier a
note demanding money and
fled.
Nov. 17 Dollar General,
North Memorial Highway, King-
ston Township, Ungarsky alleg-
edly entered the store and de-
manded money, then fled on
foot.
In the forgery case, police say
Ungarsky used personal checks
belonging to his grandmother,
Dorothy Wilcox, who told police
on Oct. 28 Ungarsky removed
several hundreddollars fromher
bank account
City man sent to state prison for robberies, forgery
Judge gives Daniel Ungarsky

An amendment co-authored by
U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta and ap-
proved by the U.S. House on
Wednesday seeks to ensure feder-
al tax dollars are not used to pay
for federal government lawsuits
against individual states on immi-
gration law disputes.
Barlettas amendment, co-au-
thored by U.S.
Rep. Diane
Black, a Tennes-
see Republican,
specifies no fed-
eral funds be
used for any le-
gal challenge to
immigration
laws passed by
Arizona, Okla-
homa, Missou-
ri, Utah, Alaba-
ma, Georgia,
South Carolina
and Indiana.
The federal
government
creates the ille-
gal immigration
problem
through decades of inaction, lax
enforcement and looking the oth-
er way. Statesstepintoprotect the
jobs of their residents, the balance
in their budgets and the safety of
their residents. Then the federal
government turns around and
sues the states and they use tax-
payer dollars to do it. Its ridicu-
lous and its unfair, Barletta said.
The proposal by Barletta, R-Ha-
zleton, did not offer other options
for funding federal challenges to
state immigration laws.
Barletta, during a floor speech
to urge his colleagues to support
the amendment, said he didnt
want to have to be urging col-
leagues to support the measure,
but the federal governments lack
of action made us do this.
He saidcommunities across the
countryhavebeeninundatedbyil-
legal immigrants taking jobs from
Americans, committing crimes
and taking advantage of taxpayer-
funded programs.
Community leaders called out
to the federal government and
asked for help. I know because I
was one of them, Barletta said. I
sawseriousproblemsinmyhome-
townin2005. I cameheretoWash-
ington to ask for help and Wash-
ington turned its back on me and
my citizens.
In addition to 226 Republicans
that voted in favor of the amend-
ment, 12 Democrats supported
the measure, which passed 238 to
173. Six Republicans joined 167
Democrats in voting against the
proposal.
Locally, Rep. Tom Marino, R-
Lycoming Township, voted for it.
Rep. TimHolden, D-St. Clair, vot-
ed against it.
The amendment still needs ap-
proval by the Democratic-con-
trolledSenateandthesignatureof
President Obama meaning its
unlikely to become law.
Barletta is
focused on
immigration
Rep. wants no fed funds used
for any fed legal challenge to
state immigration laws.

WILKES-BARRE The mother of a 15-
year-oldgirl killedina vehiclecrashinJanu-
ary 2011 has filed a wrongful death lawsuit
in county court against the teen who was
driving the car, his family and others.
Tammy Coburn, through her attorney,
Edward Ciarimboli, filed the suit against
Scott Smith, 17, his father, David Snyder,
Pittston Township, and the Pennsylvania
Department of Transportation.
The suit requests monetary damages on
counts of negligent entrustment, wrongful
death and seeks survival action.
According to prosecutors, Smith, who
held a learners permit, was driving on Sus-
con Road in Pittston Township on Jan. 3 at
77 mph in a 40 mph zone. Prosecutors said
the Mitsubishi Eclipse failed to negotiate a
turn and flipped over.
Kayla Marie McGrady of Edwardsville
was ejected from the vehicle and died,
while another 15-year-old girl survived
head and neck injuries. Smith was treated
and released from a hospital that night.
ALuzerne County judge inFebruary 2011
declared Smith a delinquent after he admit-
ted to charges of homicide by motor vehi-
cle, accidents involving injury and three
traffic offenses.
At a hearing in June, Smith was ordered
to be placed in programs at Alternative Re-
habilitation Communities Inc. until the age
of 21.
Inthe suit, Coburnalleges PennDOTand
Pittston Township failed to properly main-
tain the roadway, causing a dangerous and
hazardous condition. The state and town-
ship failed to repair sections of the road,
causing a drop-off of the road where the ac-
cident occurred, essentially a launching
pad, according to the complaint.
Smith, the suit says, drove in a negligent
and reckless manner and was driving too
fast for conditions and in a reckless disre-
gard for McGradys safety.
Snyder, thesuit says, actednegligentlyby
entrusting the vehicle to Smith when he
knew or should have known that Smith
lacked the necessary skill, judgment, li-
censing and/or prudence to drive the car.
Coburnsays shealsois oweddamages for
the pain and suffering she endured because
of McGradys death.

KINGSTON TWP. Changes to the
township home rule charter could be
placedonthe ballot inNovember, super-
visors said at a meeting Wednesday.
Chairman James Reino Jr. said the su-
pervisors discussed changing one sec-
tion governing how administrative
codes are modified to make the process
less time-consuming.
The other changes are to make the
document in compliance with state law.
Currently, the charter states adminis-
trative codes canbe changedonlybycre-
ating an ordinance.
Reino said there are strict rules in
passing an ordinance relating to public
advertisement and hearings.
He said the board is considering al-
lowing administrative code changes to
be made via a resolution.
The other aspects of the charter that
will be considered for change include
the effective date of ordinances and bid-
ding requirements.
In other business, resident Chris
Mathers, wife of Supervisor Gary Math-
ers, addressedthe boardabout changing
the zoning ordinance in order to house
chickens in a residential district.
Mathers, of Grove Street, said a na-
tionwide movement and economic diffi-
culty has led her to pursue raising chick-
ens for their eggs and other benefits.
Supervisor Shirley Moyer said
there is a lot to consider when chang-
ing the zoning ordinance, especially
when it comes to enforcement of the
rules.
Township Manager Kathleen Sebas-
tian said she has received two other re-
quests to raise chickens in residential
districts.
Supervisor Jeffrey Box said he hopes
the request will cause all residents to
share their opinions on the matter.

WILKES-BARRE Six weeks
after the shooting death of 14-
year-old Tyler Winstead, city po-
lice and Luzerne County detec-
tives continue to investigate the
homicide.
Tyler died from a gunshot
woundto the chest onApril 5. He
was found outside 117 Hill St.,
which has been searched twice
by investigators, who are known
to have removed bleach and a
computer tower.
Five searchwarrants have been
obtainedbyinvestigators, twofor
the house andone for records of a
cellphone belonging to Angelina
DeAbreu, wholivedin117Hill St.
with her son, Elijah Yusiff. Yusiff
claimed to have heard the gun-
shot the evening Winstead was
killed.
It remains unknown what in-
vestigators sought from the two
other search warrants; all five
have been sealed.
County District Attorney Ste-
fanie Salavantis did not return a
message Wednesday afternoon
about the investigation.
The shooting on Hill Street is
in the same neighborhood where
15-year-old Marquis Allen nearly
lost his hand in a machete attack
earlier this year.
Allenwas helpinganother teen
involved in a fight when, police
allege, Juan Borbon, 20, swung
the machete and struck Allens
wrist outside GAR Senior-Junior
High School on Feb. 9.
Winstead death still probed
Times Leader staff
WILKES-BARRE Its been six
weeks since Tyler Winstead was
killed, and his father said Wednes-
day he appreciates a newinitiative
offeredbythe citytotrytoheal the
community and seek solutions,
but what he needs right nowis clo-
sure.
Terrence Winstead, father of
Tyler, the 14-year-old who was
killedonHill Street onApril 5, said
he doesnt understand why the
probe into his sons death is taking
so long.
There are five detectives in my
family and none of them can un-
derstandwhy this case hasnt been
solved, he said. We all know
what happened
here; this was no
drive-by shoot-
ing.
Tyler, who
was beingraised
by his grandpar-
ents, didnot live
with his biologi-
cal parents.
Winstead was not that interest-
ed in the Building Bridges initia-
tive. If the community wants to
get together to discuss things, I
guess thats a goodthing. But what
I need, is closure.
Winstead said the investigation
into his sons death should be
done and over with by now.
We can do better, he said.

and the police department to
solve on our own. Entrenched
societal problems such as
crime and poverty need to be
met by the resolute will of a
united community, and that is
what we hope these meetings
will inspire.
After the five meetings are
held, a citywide town hall
meeting will be held to unveil
short- and long-term ap-
proaches to improve safety.
Each town hall meeting will
be at 7 p.m.; the first will be at
the Dodson Elementary
School library.
Jeff Namey, superintendent
of Wilkes-Barre Area School
District, said he discussed the
campaign with Walker and
supports the idea.
From the very brief de-
scription I was given, I know
that this is an effort to try to
heal the community, he said.
When Tyler Winstead was
killed, people came to us con-
fused and not knowing where
to turn. This program will of-
fer people an opportunity to
meet and discuss it.
Walker said the program
will be good for everyone.
This program gives every-
body the opportunity to come
to the table and talk, he said.
We want to hear; we want the
city to hear what the public
has to say. We cant do this
alone or separately.

The meteorology and oceanography professor at

Reader: Watson column
tilts too far to the left
I
t is fitting that columnist John Watson
resides on the left coast in Seattle.
This guy is so far out in left field he cant
see the batters box.
Watson dutifully repeats the liberal
mantra that it is not President Obamas
fault that the economy is in a dismal condi-
tion (Obamas firsts could add up to his
last term, April 29).
Despite the fact that Obama has been in
office for 3 years, Watson blames Presi-
dent George W. Bush. Obama promised to
reduce the debt, but instead has added $3
trillion to it. Unemployment has hovered
above 8 percent, and all we hear is that it
will improve.
Watson goes after the usual liberal tar-
gets such as the tea party, whose only fault
is to stop Obamas reckless spending. He
also demonizes Fox News.
If it were not for Fox and conservatives
such as Rush Limbaugh, we would not
have known of Obamas mentor, Rev. Jere-
miah Wright, and his hateful anti-white,
anti-American tirades. Nor would we have
known that Obamas political career began
with the help of William Ayres, who
bombed the Pentagon.
Watson will not mention anything detri-
mental to his idol in the White House; that
is why I have.

No-confidence vote
more than sour grapes
I
n response to The Times Leaders article
Gilmour gets poor votes from Wilkes,
on May 4, I was amused by university
President Tim Gilmours rationalization of
the facultys lack of confidence in him.
For the most part, Gilmour seems to
believe that the facultys vote represents
sour grapes over his attempt to control the
rising costs of higher education. This ratio-
nale, from a man whose salary rose faster
and higher than any other local president
of the areas five private institutions, soar-
ing by 78 percent since his first year in
2001-02. In fact, the compensation for the
Wilkes president has more than doubled
since 1999-2000, rising by 111 percent. I
am quoting The Times Leader article from
Nov. 20, 2011 by Mark Guydish.
I agree with Gilmour, the vote of no
confidence probably represents sour
grapes from a disgruntled faculty. I appre-
ciate the presidents graciousness. I, too,
would feel gracious and appreciative of an
institution that provided me wonderful pay
increases and a severance package of a
years salary upon my departure.

Reimbursement system
harms service to children
A
t the Luzerne County Council board
meeting of April 24, I made a motion
that subsequently passed unanimously
to have the County Council Legislative
Subcommittee along with the executive
branch work with local state legislators to
change the way Pennsylvanias state reim-
bursement is made to counties for Chil-
dren and Youth Services programs.
The reimbursement system has not
worked for years in counties such as ours
and is in dire need of change. The very
children the system is meant to protect are
placed at risk due to the delays between
the time services are rendered and state
payments are made.
The reimbursement system provides for
quarterly payments to providers that offer
foster, group home or residential services
for children determined by Children and
Youth and the courts not safe to remain in
their homes. These contracted agencies
provide needed services to children, yet
they are not reimbursed for anywhere from
six to nine months.
This payment delay is creating a serious
crisis. If the providers cannot pay their
staff salaries and expenses because of the
late payment from the state, they might
have to close their doors or, at the very
least, refuse additional children for place-
ment. The obvious dilemma is that these
delays create a situation in which the
courts and county might not have place-
ment options to meet the needs of our
most vulnerable children.
The motion adopted by county council
coincided with Child Abuse Prevention
Month.
I encourage all citizens to contact your
state legislators and encourage them to
make the necessary changes to the Penn-
sylvania Code.
There is no greater responsibility for a
state than to protect its children. Carol
Bellamy, former director of the Peace
Corps said, In serving the best interests of
children, we serve the best interests of all
humanity.

ECRETARY OF De-
fenseLeonPanettahasa
very simple message for
military commanders:
Enforce discipline in the ranks.
In recent months, the American
military mission in Afghanistan
has been undermined by the ac-
tions of troops in the field.
In one incident, U.S. Marines
were videotaped apparently uri-
nating on the corpses of Taliban
soldiers. The video further
stirred an overflowing pot of re-
sentment towardforeigners. The
improper disposal of Qurans by
U.S. servicemen enraged Af-
ghans who interpreted it as the
ultimatesignof disrespect bythe
American occupiers. Riots en-
sued and several American sol-
diers died as a result.
Recently, a Marine allegedly
killed17 unarmed Afghan villag-
ers, prompting condemnation
and disgust from around the
world. The Marine was shipped
back to the United States where
he will face trial for multiple
counts of murder.
If one of the goals of the occu-
pation is to win hearts and
minds, then the American mis-
sion in Afghanistan is failing
spectacularly. What infuriates
Panetta andsenior officers at the
Pentagon is that it is all so avoid-
able.
One explanation offered by
militaryleadershipis that thede-
centralized deployments now in
place have put the burden on ju-
nior officers in the field for be-
havior of young soldiers under
their command. They believe
that leaders at all levels must be
heldaccountableandtheofficers
are expectedtoholdtheir troops
to the highest standards without

ONCERNED THAT
mobile phone net-
works are becoming
surveillance tools, the
American Civil Liberties
Unionrecently askedhundreds
of local law enforcement agen-
cies whether theyve tracked
peoples movements through
their cellphones. Most of those
that responded said they had,
usually obtaining the informa-
tion from mobile
phone companies
without a warrant.
The practice has
become so routine,
the ACLU found,
that phone compa-
nies are sending
out catalogs of monitoring ser-
vices withdetailedpricelists to
police agencies. The alarming
findings should persuade Con-
gress to clarify that the govern-
ment cant follow someone
electronically without showing
probable cause and obtaining a
warrant.
The Supreme Court has long
held that the Fourth Amend-
ment guarantee against unrea-
sonable searches and seizures
requires police to obtain a war-
rant if the intrusion would vio-
late a targets reasonable ex-
pectation of privacy. That
standard has barred law en-
forcement agents from surrep-
titiouslyrecordingwhat people
say on the phone without a
warrant, evenwhenthe conver-
sation is taking place in a pub-
lic phone booth. But the court
and Congress set a significant-
lylower bar for monitoringoth-
er aspects of a phones use. The
government canobtainrecords
about numbers dialed and calls
received either from the past
or live and in real time with a
subpoena, which a court will
grant if shown that the records
sought are relevant to an inves-
tigation.
Mobile phone networks col-
lect another type of data that
wire-line networks dont: They
register aphones
location contin-
uously as long as
its turned on,
even when its
not in use. Those
records can be
exceptionally re-
vealing. Nevertheless, the Jus-
tice Department and many lo-
cal law enforcement agencies
view location data as no differ-
ent from calling records. With
the acquiescence of mobile
phone carriers, theyve been
quietly collecting this informa-
tion through subpoenas, not
warrants backed by a showing
of probable cause. And in some
cases, the subpoenas have been
frighteningly broad; for exam-
ple, one police department
sought data on all the mobile
phone users in the vicinity of a
planned protest.
Rather than trusting judges
to sort it all out, Congress
should make it clear that the
protections that applytophone
conversations also apply to lo-
cation data. No warrant, no
tracking.

Wednesday proposes keeping the Cam-
bra and Beach Haven offices open for
two hours per day, while Rock Glenand
Weston would see hours cut in half to
four hours per day.
Other local post offices that were not
on last Julys list for closure appeared on
Wednesdays list for reduced hours.
Among them are: Lattimer Mines, Saint
Johns, Sugarloaf, Drifton, Ebervale, Har-
leigh, Milnesville, Sybertsville, Glen
Lyon, Falls, Huntington Mills, Lehman,
Sweet Valley and Wapwallopen.
Weve listened to our customers in
rural America and weve heard them
loud and clear they want to keep
their post office open, Postmaster
General Patrick R. Donahoe said in a
statement on Wednesday. We believe
todays announcement will serve our
customers needs and allow us to
achieve real savings to help the Postal
Service return to long-term financial
stability.
Aspokeswomanfor the USPSsaidno
post offices will be forced to close, al-
though communities could choose clo-
sure and switch to home delivery.
Communities also would have the
option of combining their post office
with another one nearby and retaining
full-time hours or creatinga village post
office that could be housed in a library,
government office or store.
The Post Offices inrural America will
remain open unless a community has a
strong preference for one of the other op-
tions. We will not close any of these rural
Post Offices without having provided a
viable solution, said Postal Service
Chief Operating Officer Megan Brennan.
Workload and need will determine
whether post offices on the list remain
open for two, four or six hours. Offices
that are located 25 driving miles or
more away from another post office
will be operational for six hours daily
regardless of workload.

The president said he was
taking a personal position.
Aides said the presidents shift
would have no impact on cur-
rent policies and he continues
to believe that marriage is an is-
sue best decided by states.
I have hesitated on gay mar-
riage in part because I thought
that civil unions would be suffi-
cient, Obama said in the inter-
view.
He added, I was sensitive to
the fact that for a lot of people
the word marriage was some-
thing that evokes very powerful
traditions, religious beliefs and
so forth.
Now, he said, it is important
for me personally to go ahead
and affirm that same-sex cou-
ples should be able to get mar-
ried.
Events draw attention
He spoke on the heels of a
pair of events that underscored
the sensitivity of an issue that
has long divided the nation.
Vice President Joe Biden said
in an interview on Sunday that
he is completely comfortable
with gays marrying, a pronoun-
cement that instantly raisedthe
profile of the issue.
White House aides insisted
the vice president hadnt said
anything particularly newswor-
thy, but gay rights groups cited
Bidens comments in urging the
president to announce his sup-
port.
On Tuesday, voters in North
Carolina a potential battle-
groundinthe fall electionap-
proved an amendment to the
state constitution affirming
that marriage may only be a
union of a man and a woman.
Additionally, several of the
presidents biggest financial
backers are gay, and some have
proddedhimpublicly todeclare
his support for same-sex mar-
riage.
Senior administration offi-
cials said Obama came to the
conclusion that gay couples
should have the right to legally
marry earlier this year and had
planned to make his views
knownpubliclybeforetheDem-
ocratic National Convention in
early September.
They conceded that Bidens
comments accelerated the
timeline, but said the vice presi-
dents remarks were impromp-
tu and not part of a coordinated
effort to soften the ground for a
shift by the president.
They spoke on condition of
anonymity to discuss internal
White House deliberations.
Political impact weighed
As recently as eight years
ago, conservatives in several
states maneuvered successfully
to place questions relating to
gay marriage on the election
day ballot as a way of boosting
turnout for President George
W. Bushs re-election.
Now, nationwide polling sug-
gests increasing acceptance of
gay marriage. In a national sur-
vey released this month, Gallup
reported 50 percent of those
polled said it should be legal,
and 48 percent were opposed.
Democrats favored by a margin
of 2-1, while Republicans op-
posed it by an even bigger mar-
gin. Among independents, 57
percent expressed support, and
40 percent were opposed.
Whatever thepolls, thepoliti-
cal crosscurrents are tricky, and
administration officials conced-
ed as much.
Some top aides argued that
gay marriage is toxic at the bal-
lot box in competitive states
like NorthCarolina andsaidthe
vote there this week shows that
oppositiontothe issue is a rally-
ing point for Republicans.
Shifting his emphasis, even
briefly, couldopenObama upto
Republican criticism that he is
taking his eye off the economy,
voters No. 1 issue.
Yet some prominent gay do-
nors have said publicly they
wanted Obama to announce his
support for gay marriage. Other
Democratic supporters claim
Obamas decision could ener-
gize huge swaths of the party,
including the young. He also
could appeal to independents.
By days end Wednesday, the
Obamacampaignhademaileda
clip of the interview and a per-
sonal statement from the presi-
dent to its list of supporters,
drawing attention to his stance.
The decision also creates a
clear contrast between Obama
and Romney as he argues hes
delivered on the change he
promised four years ago.
Obama said he sometimes
talks with college Republicans
on his visits to campuses, and
while they oppose his policies
on the economy and foreign
policy, when it comes to same
sex equality, or, you know, sex-
ual orientation, that they be-
lieve in equality. They are more
comfortable with it.
Maggie Gallagher, co-foun-
der of the National Organiza-
tion for Marriage and a leading
supporter of the constitutional
amendment approved in North
Carolina on Tuesday, said she
welcomed Obamas announce-
ment at the same time she dis-
agreed with it.
Politically, we welcome
this, she said. We think its a
huge mistake. President Oba-
ma is choosing the money over
the voters the day after 61 per-
cent of North Carolinians in a
key swing state demonstrated
they oppose gay marriage.
Six states all in the North-
east, except Iowa, and the
District of Columbia allow
same-sex marriages. Two other
states have laws that are not yet
in effect and may be subject to
referendums.
International View
Obamas announcement
boosted the hopes of gay rights
groups around the world that
other leaders will follow his ex-
ample, though opponents de-
nounced his switch as a shame-
less appeal for votes.
Several countries, including
Canada, Spain and Argentina,
allow same-sex marriage, but
far more countries ban it and
dozens even prohibit consen-
sual same-sex relations. Gay-
rights groups hope Obamas
views will inspire more change.
This is incredibly impor-
tant, its excellent news. The
United States is a global leader
on everything, and that in-
cludes gay rights, said Julio
Moreira, president of the Rio de
Janeiro-based Arco-Iris gay
rights group. This will force
other nations like Brazil to
move forward with more pro-
gressive policies.
Vatican and other religious
officials didnt comment, but
political leaders and others op-
posed to gay marriage excoriat-
ed Obama. In particular, politic-
ians tied to Pentecostal and Ca-
tholic churches have spoken
out strongly against same-sex
marriage in Latin America.

President Barack Obama is seen on a monitor in the White House briefing room in Washington on Wednesday. Obama told an
ABC interviewer that he supports gay marriage. The announcement was the first by a sitting president.
John Dawe, executive director of the NEPA Rainbow Alliance, said
lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals and families in the
region are thrilled with President Obamas support.
The Presidents decision to support marriage equality comes on the
heels of yesterdays mean-spirited vote on a constitutional amend-
ment on marriage in North Carolina that was clearly meant to divide
and demonize, said Dawe, who is a board member of Equality Penn-
sylvania the statewide LGBT rights organization.
President Obama chose a different path today and we believe it
truly represents what so many Americans are really feeling about
LGBT relationships, he said.
Dawe said Obamas evolution is not unlike the experiences of
thousands of people who have come to know that the struggles, the
triumphs, the ups and the downs of LGBT couples are remarkably
like their own. In fact, they are the same, he said.
L O C A L R E A C T I O N

lars for his organization , Friends of

supported.
The U.S. Attorneys Office contends
the illegal campaign work cost the
state as much as $120,000. Mellows
attorneys, Sal Cognetti and Dan Brier,
are expected to challenge that figure.
The amount of the loss will play a
significant role in determining Mel-
lows sentence for mail fraud count as
sentencing guidelines are highly de-
pendent upon the amount of moneta-
ry loss tothe victim, whichinthis case
is the state Senate.
Should the loss be determined to be
less than $10,000, the guidelines
would call for a sentence of six to 12
months. If the loss is $120,00, the sen-
tence range wouldbe 27 to33 months.
Prosecutors and the defense will pre-
sent arguments on the issue to Slom-
sky, who will decide.
The government and defense have
agreedthe loss is somewhere between
zero dollars and $120,000. Under the
terms of the plea deal, Mellow can
withdrawhis guilty plea if Slomsky re-
jects that sectionof the agreement. He
cannot withdraw the plea if he is dis-
satisfied with the sentence, however.
Mellow has been receiving a state
pension of $11,579 per month since he
retired. Its not known yet whether his
guilty plea will affect the pension.

HARRISBURG President Barack
Obamas support for gay marriage may
become the latest issue for voters to sort
through in Pennsylvania, a vote-rich bat-
tleground where the Democrats contest
against presumed Republican nominee
Mitt Romney is expected to be close.
Obamas statement Wednesday was
met with open arms by proponents of gay
marriage, while some opponents say they
knew all along where the president
stood, anyway.
Dave Norris, a retired steelworker and
registered Democrat from the Pittsburgh
suburb of Brackenridge, supported John
McCain over Obama in 2008 and isnt
thrilled about voting for Romney. But he
also doesnt support the legalization of
gay marriage and thats one more issue
that could push him toward the GOP can-
didate.
I would hope it would hurt him, but in
todays society, theres nothing sacred,
Norris said.
Equality Pennsylvania, a Harrisburg-
based group that advocates for equal
rights of the lesbian, gay and transgender
community, had already endorsed Oba-
ma and called his statement one more
historic step in making all of us truly
equal.
Fairness is welcome at any time, and
we celebrate both the presidents courage
and leadership in his landmark announ-
cement today, the organization said.
In Pennsylvania, a 1996 state law al-
ready defines marriage as a union be-
tween a man and a woman. Republican-
led efforts to amend the state Constitu-
tion to ban same-sex marriage or same-
sex unions have failed in the face of oppo-
sition by Democrats and moderate Re-
publicans as recently as 2010, when the
GOP-controlled Senate Judiciary Com-
mittee tabled a bill sponsored by conser-
vative Sen. John Eichelberger, R-Blair.
Nationally, public opinion on gay mar-
riage has shifted in recent years, with
most polls now finding the public evenly
split, rather than opposed. Six states
including neighboring New York allow
same sex marriages.
Romney opposes gay marriage.
In an appeal to supporters for money
Wednesday, state Republican Party
Chairman Rob Gleason called Obamas
position a cold political calculation.
Then he changed the subject and said it is
imperative to replace Obama with some-
one who will lead on job creation and
bringing our dysfunctional government
back to health.
Obama handily won Pennsylvania in
2008, and it will be crucial to his chances
again: Harry Truman in 1948 was the last
Democratic presidential candidate to
lose Pennsylvania but win the election.
The issue could be a consideration for
traditional labor-union Democrats in
heavily Catholic areas or nonreligious Re-
publicans who no longer see eye-to-eye
with their party on non-economic issues
like this one.
It is unlikely to be an issue for labor
unions, a major source of Democratic vot-
er outreach in Pennsylvania. The AFL-
CIO will focus on its bread-and-butter
workplace and economic issues, and may
not even have a position on gay marriage,
said Rick Bloomingdale, president of the
labor federations Pennsylvania chapter.
In the Democratic bastion of Philadel-
phia, it wont change the minds of most
church-going black voters, said Bishop
Leonard Goins, who presides over Chest-
nut Hill Church, a Pentecostal congrega-
tion in Philadelphia, and leads the Pente-
costal Clergy Political Awareness Com-
mittee.
Well vote for him because were Afri-
can-American, but particularly on the
same-sex marriage issue, hes wrong,
Goins said.
Still, Goins flatly disagrees with Oba-
ma Hes wrong, hes in error, its a
mistake and it will hurt him.
Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter
congratulated Obama for his courage,
strength and perspective and Democrat-
ic state Sen. Vincent Hughes of Philadel-
phia said he believes the presidents posi-
tion will force others to confront the is-
sue, which he thinks will help the presi-
dent in November. But Hughes also
worries the issue will become divisive
and demonized in the hands of TV ad-
vertisements funded by millions of dol-
lars from third-party political-issue
groups.
Hes putting his political career on the
line and everything that he believes in
and everything that hes fought for,
Hughes said.
Richard Smith, 80, who has volun-
teered for more than 30 years at the gay
bookstore Giovannis Room, said the
president should get more support from
the gay community because of it.
Brian Sims, a Philadelphia Democrat
who is poised to become Pennsylvanias
first openly gay state legislator next year,
said Obama had been out of step on the
issue not only with the Democratic Party,
but with a growing number of Americans.

Opinions split on gay marriage stance

WILKES-BARRE A
Luzerne County judge
has allowed attorneys
for alleged murderer
Hugo Selenski to have
additional time to file
court papers in the
case.
Judge Fred Pieranto-
ni said attorneys Shel-
ley Centini, Edward
Rymsza and David
Lampman have until
June 1 to file any last
court papers in the case
in preparation for the
Sept. 10 trial.
The previous dead-
line for submitting
documents was May 7.
Selenski, 38, is facing
the death penalty if
convicted in the deaths
of Tammy Fassett and
Michael Kerkowski,
both of whom were 37
when they died. In-
vestigators allege Se-
lenski killed Fassett
and Kerkowski on May
3, 2002.
The attorneys said in
court papers this week
they could not meet the
May 7 deadline because
they must review
20,000 pages of evi-
dence and have spent
23 hours at state police
barracks inspecting
thousands of pieces of
evidence in the case.
The attorneys noted
that in an in camera
or private hearing held
in the judges chambers
on March 27 they
asked for additional
funding to represent
Selenski, which Pieran-
toni granted.

THE TIMES LEADER THURSDAY, MAY 10, 2012

T
he Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pen-
guins had already lost two
straight overtime playoff games
at home, and were facing another with
their season at stake.
So they were faced with a difficult
dilemma Tuesday night.
How do you turn such an ominous
trend into triumph?
Teamwork, captain Ryan Craig
said.
Mental toughness, coach John
Hynes surmised.
A lot of grit, Simon Despres con-
cluded.
The answer may have formulated in
their minds, but became obvious after
the Penguins left the ice.
Sheer determination drove the Pen-
guins to victory.
They werent going out like this,
werent about to let the St. Johns Ice-
Caps cap the second round of the East-
ern Conference playoffs by winning a
third consecutive overtime game on
Wilkes-Barre/Scrantons home ice.
So they vowed to play as long as it
takes, and do whatever it takes, to keep
their season alive.
Desperation came into play, Craig
said. It was win or go home. Our sea-
son was on the line.
It still is, thanks to a 3-2, double-
overtime victory that will be remem-
bered as one of the great Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton playoff performances that
staved off elimination for the Penguins.
It started with the guy in goal for the
Penguins.
No worry about the past
Because Brad Thiessen not only had
to overcome his own teammates stick
through the mask that gashed his eye-
brow late in the game, he had to get
past an early gaffe that allowed one of
the softest goals youll ever see a
puck that slid through his legs as he
was trying to make a pass.
You just try to focus on the next
shift and not let it affect you, Thiessen
said. Credit to my teammates as well,
for not letting it get to them.
Credit to everyone playing for the
Penguins for rallying past the past.
To get that one was pretty special,
said defenseman Alex Grant.
Not just because it sent the series to
St. Johns for Game 6, but because of
what it took to get through Game 5.
As much as they tried to downplay
it, the Penguins had to overcome some
uneasiness about going to overtime
with a team that just beat them twice
in an extra period, first Saturday, then
Sunday, at the same Mohegan Sun
Arena.
Think that was easy?
Its not easy, Penguins goaltender
Brad Thiessen said. It could be in your
mind overtime is not our time. Its all
about mental toughness, not letting
that affect you.
What did influence the outcome was
pure alarm.
The Penguins, down 3 games to 1
and on the brink of elimination, feared
for their playoff lives.
They were afraid their season was
about to end.
And they not only played like it, with
defensemen diving all around the ice to
stop shots and gain control of pucks,
they did something to stop dj vu
from happening to them all over again.
They found a way to get through a
first overtime and score in the second,
when Despres picked up a rebound of a
hard Ben Street shot and whistled it
into the back of the net with little more
than 12 minutes gone in Overtime 2.
I didnt think about the last two
(overtime defeats), Despres said. We
have to win this game, or else were
going home.
No tomorrow.
Now there is.
All because the Penguins didnt
dwell on past doubt, but instead insist-
ing on living in the moment.

KINGSTON Winning isnt every-
thing at Wyoming Valley West.
After a 19-6 season and a fifth consec-
utive season with a district tournament
victory, Wyoming Valley Conference Di-
vision I Coach of the
Year Curt Lloyd had
his position opened by
the school board at its
monthly meeting
Wednesday at the dis-
tricts middle school.
It will be filled,
school board president
John Gill Jr. said. Its
not likely to be filled by the current
coach.
The meeting agenda listed Item 9,
Subsection12 as 2012-13 Winter Athlet-
ic Coaching Positions. Under girls bas-
ketball, five positions from varsity head
coach to seventh grade were listed as to
be posted.
Theres just dissatisfactioninthe pro-

anything more. It really doesnt involve

WRIGHTTWP. Berwicks chances
to defend its Division 1-A title disap-
peared a few games ago. That doesnt
mean there isnt something to play for.
The Dawgs also won the District 2
championship last year and based on
Wednesday nights performance
theyre not ready to concede it to any-
one else.
Berwick scored two quick goals and
received excellent play from its de-
fense, defeating Crestwood 2-0 in a
Wyoming Valley Conference girls soc-
cer game withdistrict seeding implica-
tions.
It seemed like we really jelled as a
team tonight, which is a really good
sign going into the end of the season
andintodistricts, Berwick coachPaul
DiPippa said. I liked the pressure we
put on them. Again, if we can get a cou-
ple shots to fall for us; I feel like were
on the verge of breaking it open.
The victory by Berwick (7-3-1)
knocked Crestwood (8-4) from the
hunt for the divisional title, albeit the
Comets hopes were remote at best.
The championship will come down to
either Dallas (10-1) or Coughlin (10-
2-1).
The outcome could also determine
which team plays at home in the dis-
trict quarterfinals, although both
might be able to avoid road games.
Berwick netted its two goals within
the first 16 minutes of the game. Jade
Welsh converted a penalty kick in the
eighth minute after a trip just inside
the 18-yard line.
Psychologically, thats very hard,
Crestwood coach Russ Kile said.
Thats something weve beenworking
on, just not defeating ourselves men-
tally.
Berwicks Caty Davenport scored a
bit later off a short chippass fromAbby
Takacs.
While Berwick kept the pressure on
throughout the first half, Dawgs keep-
er Sarah Wilczynski had a rather mun-
dane opening 40 minutes. The Ber-

WASHINGTON Alex
Ovechkin rebounded from a
rare zero-shot performance by
scoring after 88 seconds
Wednesday night, Braden
Holtby made 30 saves, and the
Washington Capitals reco-
vered from a potentially dev-
astating loss by beating the
top-seeded New York Rangers
2-1 to force a Game 7 in the
Eastern Conference semifinal.
Two nights after blowing a
lead in the last 10 seconds of
regulation and losing in over-
time, the No. 7-seeded Capi-
tals showed immediately they
were over it. Ovechkins early
power-play goal and Jason
Chimeras second-period
score were just enough for the
unflappable playoff rookie
Holtby.
The teams meet in New
York on Saturday night to de-
termine who will face the New
Jersey Devils in the confer-
ence finals.
With his mom covering her
eyes in the stands, Holtby
made only one error, and it
came with 50.5 seconds left
a goal that was credited to
Marian Gaborik and deflected

S P O R T S
As a wrestler for Wyoming Val-
ley West, DrewFeldman was one
of the most decorated in school
history, piling up three District 2
championships, a regional cham-
pionship and a
sixth-place
PIAA Cham-
pionship medal
in2002 after ad-
vancing to the
state semifi-
nals. Through-
out high
school, he nev-
er lost a Wyoming Valley Confer-
ence or district match as part of a
92-9 career mark.
Now, the 28-year-old will be
trying to have his success rub off
on the Spartan wrestlers.
Feldman, a 2002 graduate from
Valley West, was named the
schools new varsity wrestling
coachonWednesday. His name is
on the wall in the wrestling room
as an athlete, and he wants to
help his youngsters achieve that
status.
We have a lot of tradition in
our programandwe keepupwith
it very well, Feldman said.
When they look over there and
they see your name on the board,
they want to see their name on
that board and they work hard to
get there.
He takes over for Steve Barber,
who stepped down at the end of
last season.
Barber was successful inhis six
years as Spartan coach taking a
wrestler to the PIAA Champion-
ships for the first four years and
leading the teamto a share of the
Wyoming Valley Conference Di-
vision I championship this past
season, the teams first league ti-
tle since 1999. He took over a
team that struggled in the stand-
ings from 2003-06. He posted a
conference record of 17-20 in his
tenure and an overall mark of 72-
55.
Barber isnt going away, as he
will remain as assistant coach,
just like at Pittston Area where
James Woodalls assistant is for-
mer head coach Matt Giampie-
tro. Like the Pittston Area scena-
rio, Barber was a one-time a
coach of Feldman.
The programwas in shambles
when he took over and he
brought it back, Feldman said.
He did a good job and thats why
hes going to stick around.
Feldman, who is a Wilkes grad-
uate, was an assistant for the
Spartans the last three seasons
and gradually received more re-
sponsibilities from Barber. So
hes very familiar with the wres-
tlers on the team, which is a plus
for his first head coaching job.
Astrong returning group is led
by Kyle Krasavage, who will be a
senior next season and advanced
to the PIAA Championships as a
freshman. Participating in
stacked weight classes the last
two seasons, Krasavage didnt re-
ach the state tournament.
There is more young talent on
the team as a total of six under-
classmen advanced to the North-
east Regional Tournament this
past season. A total of seven re-
gional qualifiers return for next
season including Travis Roper,
Nathan Cheek, Derrick Simms,
Cody Cordes, Trey Cowman and
Brandon Baird.
Last month at the National
High School Wrestling Cham-
pionships Cordes, Roper andKra-
savage all earned All-America
status. Just last weekend, Cordes
and Krasavage won their respec-
tive weight classes at the MAWA
Eastern National Tournament in
Maryland.
Were doing a lot more stuff
with the kids and being younger,
they can buy into it, Feldman
said about his team. Theyll all
go back (to nationals) next year
andgoingtobighighschool tour-
naments is goingtobe our goal as
a team and individual to get to
Hershey.

and the New York Mets beat
the Phillies 10-6 Wednesday
night to complete their first
three-game sweep in Philadel-
phia in six years.

on Monday, after six against
Joe Blanton on Tuesday and
after six against Cliff Lee in the
series finale.
The five-time defending NL
East champions are a season-
worst four games under .500 at
14-18. The Mets (18-13) are five

Making his first start since
straining his left oblique in the
10th inning of a gem against
San Francisco on April 18, Lee
allowed two runs and five hits,
striking out six.
Lee left with a 4-2 lead, but
Kyle Kendrick (0-3) quickly
gave that up.
An RBI double by Justin
Turner cut it to 4-3 in the sev-

by hitting pinch-hitter Lucas
Duda with a pitch with the
bases loaded. An RBI groun-
dout by Torres made it 5-4.

utive games for the first time
since April 17-18.

four strikeouts in six innings
for Washington. Xavier Nady
and Chad Tracy knocked in

NEW YORK Stacy Robin-
son, a wide receiver whowontwo
Super Bowls with the New York
Giants before working with the
players union, has died after a
battle with cancer. He was 50.
We are deeply saddened by
the passing of Stacy Robinson,
Giants co-owner John Mara said
in announcing the death late
Tuesday. He was a good man
who was loved and respected by
his teammates and everyone in
this organization. His workonbe-
half of the players association
was of great benefit to many play-
ers. He will be missed. His family
is in our thoughts and prayers.
The Giants did not release a
cause or place of death. Robin-
son, who was born in St. Paul,
Minn., was diagnosed with can-
cer in 2009, according to a family
statement posted on the caring-
bridge.org hospice site. He un-
derwent chemotherapy, a stem
cell transplant and a bone mar-
row transplant provided by his
son, Stacy, but entered hospice
care on May 3.
Robinson played all six of his
NFL seasons for the Giants after
he was drafted 46th overall out of
North Dakota State in 1985. Just
5-foot-11 with blazing speed, he
wasnt unlike another receiver on
the roster, Phil McConkey.
The lions share of Robinsons
48 career receptions came in his
second and best season, when he
finished with 29 catches for 494
yards. His careers totals were
modest 749 yards and seven
touchdowns in 43 games but
he did have three catches for 62
yards in New Yorks Super Bowl
winover theBroncos andwonan-
other championship with the Gi-
ants in the 1991 Super Bowl.
Robinson retired six months
later even after his agent was
working out a one-year deal for
$275,000.
I really dont have the desire
anymore, he told The New York
Times. I wish I could have taken
that zest I had the last two or
three years.
He was just 29, but didnt want
togothroughthe apprehension
of training camp and wanted to
complete the final requirements
for a masters degree in business
administration from Fairleigh
Dickinson.
I could get a job next week if I
wanted to, he said. Imgoing to
take my time.
He worked in recent years for
the NFL Players Association,
overseeing steroids and drug pol-
icy issues and including a stint as
director of player development.
Stacy Robinsonmentoredand
supported countless NFL players
and helped me transition into the
NFLPA, tweeted George Atal-
lah, a spokesman for the players
union. "Afriendto many. Ill miss
him dearly.
Robinsonwas onthe NorthDa-
kota State team that won the
1983 Division II national cham-
pionship. In all, he played in 31
games, catching 88 passes for
1,626 yards and 13 touchdowns
for the Bison.
Robinson was in the final year
of a three-year term with the
NorthDakota State Alumni Asso-
ciation Board of Directors and
was selected to serve another
three-year term, according to
The Forum newspaper.

MIAMI LeBronJamesdecid-
ed not to play in New York two
summersago. Hewont beplaying
thereanymorethis season, either.
TheKnicks havebeenput away,
andthe Miami Heat are headedto
the secondroundof the NBAplay-
offs.
James had 29 points, eight re-
bounds and seven assists, Chris
Bosh and Dwyane Wade both
scored 19 points and the Heat
oustedthe Knicks106-94 inGame
5 of the Eastern Conference first-
round series Wednesday night.
Miami won the series 4-1, and
will meet IndianaintheEast semi-
finals starting Sunday in Miami.
We will savor this win to-
night, James said. And then we
get to work tomorrow and get
ready for Indiana.
Carmelo Anthony scored 35
points for the Knicks, including a
spinningjumper over Jamesat the
end of the third quarter that
pulled NewYork within 81-67.
It wasnt enough to stave off an
all-too-familiar playoff result for
Anthony, who was chosen two
spots behind James and immedi-
ately ahead of Bosh and Wade in
the 2003 NBA draft. Anthony has
been in 11 postseason series, win-
ning just two, the won-lost record
of histeamsinthosegamesamere
17-37.
Amare Stoudemire scored 14
points before fouling out, Landry
Fields and J.R. Smith both scored
12andTysonChandler grabbed11
rebounds for NewYork.
Stoudemire fouled out with
4:48 left, and the Knicks put to-
gether onemorerunwithhopesof
saving the season. New York cut
the margin to11points four times
in a 2-minute span, and Miami an-
swered every time, the last of
those a 3-pointer by Shane Battier
with 54 seconds left.
That sent the white seat covers
flying in all corners of the arena,
the fans knowing it was finally
over. After the final horn, James
and Anthony shared an embrace,
like many other players.
It was fun, man, James said.
Hes one of the most competitive
players Ive ever played against in
a playoff series.
The first game day salvo came
eight hours before tipoff, when
Wade sent a verbal jab toward for-
mer teammate Mike Bibby.
I know Mike has made more
shots in this series than he made
all last year. I knowthat. Sendthat
to Mike, Wade said, laughing.
Bibby averaged 0.5 points in
first-quarter appearances this sea-
son. That was beforescoringeight
intheopeningminutes of Game5,
including a jumper over Wade
that gave New York a quick 14-8
lead.
It was one of New Yorks few
moments to enjoy. James had 13
points on only six field-goal at-
tempts by halftime, Wade shook
off a scoreless first quarter with12
in the second, and Miami went in-
to the break leading 55-44.
The margin was less than 10
points for only 90 seconds of the
third quarter. Stoudemire went to
the bench with his fifth foul with
6:41 left in the third, and Miami
went on an 11-2 spurt not long af-
ter that all but sealed the out-
come. It was 67-58 when Fields
made two free throws with 4:49
left in the quarter and then the
Heats Big Three needed just 3
minutes to blowthe game open.
Bosh and Wade combined for
six points in that flurry, James the
other five, including a 21-footer
with 1:29 left to put Miami up 78-
60.
For the Knicks, it was the 12th
straight season without a playoff-
series victory, extending the sec-
ond-longest drought in franchise
history. The last time New York
advanced in the postseason came
at Miamis expense in 2000 in the
East semifinals.

Miami turns up the heat to oust Knicks

NEW YORK Mariano Riv-
era has a blood clot in his right
calf, the latest health problem
for the longtime New York Yan-
kees closer who tore a knee liga-
ment last week while shagging
fly balls during batting practice.
Rivera is on blood-thinning
medication intended to dis-
solve the clot and said Wednes-
day he is OK, though he was
scared when he received the di-
agnosis. He needs to spend at
least a week or two strengthen-
ing his knee before he has sur-
gery to repair his torn anterior
cruciate ligament but he said
that would have been the case
regardless of the blood clot.
Strengthening the knee now
will put him in a better position
when he begins his rehabilita-
tion program after the oper-
ation. He must stop taking the
blood thinners 24 hours before
the surgery, he said.
The 42-year-old Rivera, base-
balls career saves leader with
608, said he can guarantee he
will work hard and do whatev-
er it takes to return next sea-
son. But if his leg doesnt come
back strong enough, then he
will take it as a sign that its
time to retire.
If its my call, I dont want to
leave the game the way it hap-
pened. ... My will and my desire
is to stay, Rivera said, adding
that he was leaning toward
pitching in 2013 even before the
injury. The traveling, I hate it.
And the game, I love it.
Rivera was injured last Thurs-
day in Kansas City, tearing his
ACL and damaging the menis-
cus in his right knee, when he
stumbled and fell while chasing
a fly ball during batting prac-
tice, a regular part of his pre-
game routine. He is expected to
miss the rest of the season.

Late payments decline
The percentage of U.S. homeowners
behind on their mortgage payments
dropped in the first three months of
this year to the lowest level since 2009,
according to a new report.
About 5.78 percent of the nations
mortgage holders were behind on their
payments by 60 days or more in the
January-to-March quarter, credit re-
porting agency TransUnion said
Wednesday.
Thats down from 6.19 percent in the
same period last year, and below the
6.01 percent delinquency rate for the
last three months of 2011.
Toyota sees big profits

Japans No. 1 automaker forecast
Wednesday that profit for its business
year ending March 2013 would soar to
760 billion yen ($9.5 billion). Net profit
plunged 30 percent to 283.6 billion yen
($3.5 billion) for the just ended busi-
ness year.
The automaker expects to sell 8.7
million vehicles this business year, 1.3
million more than in the year ended
March.

record low yield.
The government sold $24 billion of
10-year notes at an auction Wednesday

In other Treasury trading, the yield

THE TIMES LEADER THURSDAY, MAY 10, 2012

THE FUTURE ISNT
what it used to be.
For a while it
seemed to get closer.
In the early 1900s,
the future was the
year 2000.
But as the millennial milestone
neared, that was compressed in the
1990s, the future still was 2000.
Now that we have arrived, I cant
help feeling that futurists have become
disenfranchised. Theres no big mile-
stone in sight, either in research or
years with nice, round numbers.
And the future is still getting closer.
Instead of saying well have this in 50
years, now its give it five years.
As always, some predictions are off,
but is it because the pace of advance is
speeding up, or is there a psychological
component?
We dont have domed cities, we dont
have practical flying cars and robotics,
while advancing, is still in a protracted
infancy. Many people seem to have
stopped looking forward, and started
looking inward.
So what happened?
Well progress. We went from
horsedrawn carriages and candles to
rockets and nuclear power in less than
100 years, so why wouldnt technologi-
cal development continue at that pace?
Surely these innovations would allow
us to move on to better things.
What prognosticators failed to take
into account is the rising cost of pro-
gress as getting to the next tier became
much harder.
In the world of physics, for example,
nuclear fission is relatively easy. So is
nuclear fusion assuming you just
want to blow something up.
Harnessing the power of that explo-
sion is far more difficult. Think of boil-
ing water versus a steam engine and
youll get the idea.
The principle is the same, the refine-
ments are hard.
Whats happening is that our ad-
vances, while accelerating, have be-
come more about finesse than brute
force.
And many of the big challenges
genetics, robotics, energy, the envi-
ronment have turned out to be more
complicated than expected.
In other areas, advances have out-
paced our dreams. We have better
computers than on the original Star
Trek series, for example. But were
nowhere near being able to visit fara-
way stars we have trouble just getting
into orbit these days.
The truth is, its really hard to top the
advances of the late 1800s and the past
century. Flight, electricity, telephones,
nuclear power, rockets, computers, the
Internet and so on.
The hurdles we now face are an order
of magnitude larger, but we need to be
more careful than ever: The way things
are going, its far more likely well be-
come the Borg before we meet them.

HILADELPHIA Pennsylva-
nias casinos pulled in $3 billion
in gross gambling revenue last
year, a 21.3 percent increase over 2010,
and third in the nation behind Nevada
and NewJersey, according to an indus-
try survey released Wednesday.
TheAmericanGamingAssociations
2012 State of the States survey re-
ports consumers spent $3.02 billion at
the states 10 existing casinos in 2011,
generating a nearly 10 percent spike in
casino tax revenue, to nearly $1.5 bil-
lion. Thirteenof the 22states surveyed
showed increases in tax revenue, but
no other jurisdiction surpassed $1 bil-
lion.
Pennsylvania taxes slot machines at
a rate of 55 percent, one of the highest
in the nation.
Theres got to be a fair return, said
Frank Fahrenkopf Jr., president of the
AGA. I happentothinkitsahighrate.
Table games in Pennsylvania are
taxed at 16 percent.
The report is the latest evidence of
dramaticgrowthinthestatescasinoin-
dustry since the passage of the states
gambling lawin 2004 and the opening
of the first casino, Mohegan Sun at Po-
conoDowns, twoyears later. There are
now11casinos spread across the state.
Theyve had a good run, Fahren-
kopf said. The Pennsylvania market ...
is one of the real success stories of the
last couple of years.
The state also showed a 3 percent
growth in the number of casino jobs,
goingfrom12,664in2010to13,050last
year.
Nationally, commercial casino reve-
nue rose 3 percent in 2011, while em-
ployment and pay declined slightly.
The report also showed Pennsylva-
nias impact on the casino market in
neighboring New Jersey, where the
struggles of Atlantic City continued:
Revenues there dropped 7 percent to
$3.3 billion.

WINNING GAMBLE Gaming revenue up 21 percent in 2011
By PATRICK WALTERS
Associated Press
NEW YORK Macys Inc.s first-
quarter profit rose a better-than-expect-
ed 38 percent. But investors sent its
shares down because the department
store chainleft its annual profit guidance
intact.
Macys is the first in a series of major
retailers reporting first-quarter results
that should offer clues into what con-
sumers are doing with their money.
The owner of Macys and Blooming-
dales stores has outpaced many of its
peers. But investors reaction Macys
shares fell 3.7 percent show they will
dissect every merchants earnings report
amid increasing worries about an eco-
nomic slowdown.
Macys is doing really well, but the
market may have been expecting them
to do evenbetter, saidBrianSozzi, chief
equities analyst at NBG Productions, an
independent research firm. It comes at
a time when concerns about consumer
spending are being ratcheted up.
Like many department stores, Macys
suffered during the depths of the reces-
sion, but it has been able to deftly navi-
gate through the slow recovery. It bene-
fited from its move in 2007 to tailor its
fashions to local markets.
Macys revenue has also been boosted
by its online division, which enjoyed a
33.7 percent sales increase in the quar-
ter. Online sales account for 7 percent of
the companys total business.
Kohls is slated to report results today,
while J.C. Penney will report its fiscal re-
sults late Tuesday.
Macys Chief Financial Officer Karen
Hoguet told analysts during a confer-
ence call Wednesday that the chain was
seeing a pickup in sales at stores that
shared the same mall with Penneys. But
she declined to elaborate.

A gusty breeze
today from the
north will deliver
much cooler air,
with afternoon
temperatures
hovering at 10
degrees below
normal. There
will be a scatter-
ing of showers
later today, then
later tonight,
clearing skies
will allow tem-
peratures in
many places to
dip down into
the upper 30s
Friday morning.
Skies will remain
clear to sponsor
an absolutely
gorgeous day
here on Friday.
Expect another
very nice day
Saturday with
warmer temper-
atures into
Sunday, but
more showers
could arrive dur-
ing the day.

NATIONAL FORECAST: A trough of low pressure will produce numerous showers and thunderstorms
from the southern Rockies into the southern Plains today. Some of these storms may be strong to

EW YORK Never mind a
text that meekly asks will u
go 2 prom w/me?
Todays teenagers are tak-
ing a cue from elaborately
staged wedding proposals, inviting each
other topromwithflashmobs, scavenger
hunts, homemade music videos andeven
airplane banners flying over the beach.
Andwhile coming up withclever or ro-
mantic ways to ask someone to prom
isnt an entirely new concept, the effort
and expense going into the big ask these
days has given rise to a new term: Prom-
posal.
This year is the first time weve done
prominvitations, saidRemy Colin, own-
er of Aerial Messages, a company that
charges $600 for a plane to fly a banner
with a message on it. Its expensive as
hell for a high-schooler who doesnt have
any money, but weve done two in the
past three months, one inMyrtle Beach,
S.C., and one in Tampa, Fla.

Teens go to elaborate lengths to snag dates

Joe Nelson, 18, poses with his girl-
friend Rebecca Leet, 17, in Collierville,
Tenn. Nelson presented Leet with a
ring when he asked her to the prom.
Its a simpleconcept: Writea question
down on a piece of paper, draw two
squares underneath it with the words
Yes and No next to them, pass it to
your intended and patiently wait to see
what box comes back marked.
Simple? Yes. But nerve-racking? You
better believe it.
I couldtell that he was shakingwhen
he handed it to me, Danielle Becker,
38, of Moosic said, speaking about the
boywhoaskedher toher senior prom. I
already had a feeling what it was and
what my answer would be, but I cant
imagine how he felt, having no clue. I
scribbled the yes in as quick as I could
andgaveit back. WhywouldI ever make
anyone want to wait on something like
that?
The fundamental way in which Beck-
er was asked to her prom was romantic
ston said. Its not your engage-
ment. Be genuine, really want to
gowiththe person; thats it. I was
asked over a plate of gravy fries.
He blurted it out, that was it, but
I still remember it.
Times sure have changed as far
as asking people to prom goes, but
sometimes its not just the grandiose
manner of proposal that has shifted as
promseasoncomes andgoes. Thesexes
toher, giventheemotions behindit. She
laughs at thewordpromposal, though
she understands why such things exist.
Times have definitely changed, she
said. Bigger is better. Everybody is out-
doing everybody else.
Will yougotopromwithme? is still
the question (or simply Prom? if
yourelazy), but nowits askedviaflying
plane banners, on cookies, in flashing
lights the possibilities are endless.

to fly over a student fundraiser
his girlfriend Kayla Bennett was
attending at King High School in
Tampa in March.
Ive seen it for weddings, and I
wanted to do something huge or
unique, said Alex, a senior who
paid for the flyover with money
he earned working at a family
business. I didnt want todoany-
thing generic. In the history of
the school, no one has done any-
thing that big. Its going to be my
only prom, first time ever, last
time ever, with someone whos
been my girlfriend for two and a
half years, so it deserves to be
that big.
The plane flew over a student
Relay for Life event, which raises
money for the American Cancer
Society, right before the talent
show, while a sound system
played a Michael Buble cover of
the Frank Sinatra song, Come
Fly With Me.
Everyone was cheering, and
she had the biggest smile on her
face, Alex said. Naturally, Kayla
said yes.
Rebecca Leet, 17, had an audi-
ence of more than 250 people for
a prom-posal from her boyfriend,
Joe Nelson, 18. Rebecca and Joe
bothworkedona school perform-
ance of Thoroughly Modern
Millie at Collierville High
School in Collierville, Tenn. At
theendof theshow, their teacher,
Keith Salter, told the audience to
stay put for one more thing.
Joe came out on stage, got
down on one knee and pulled out
a box with a ring in it. Its not
what you think! Salter quickly
assured the audience, as some
gasped, thinking it was a teenage
marriage proposal.
Then Joe popped the question
the prom question. She got
all teary and said yes, Joe said.
It made my day just knowing I
did something memorable and
she really enjoyed it.
Nancy Darling, an Oberlin Col-
lege professor of psychology who
studies adolescent development,
said teenage relationships go
through stages, one of which is
taking the romance public. Its a
public declaration of I really
want to go to the prom, and I like
you! she said.
She added that despite stereo-
types of teens as sex-driven and
aggressive, data shows kids are
now becoming more conserva-
tive socially, with less sexual in-
tercourse than previous genera-
tions. Were back to being ro-
mantic, she said.
And while some prom-posals
come from girls, most are
planned by boys, letting them
show off this whole sweet side
that doesnt get a lot of chance to
come up, Darling said. Weve
really underestimated the ro-
mance of guys.
The Heart Bandits, a romance
event coordinating company
that usually arranges marriage
proposals, has, for the first time
this year, gotten requests for help
with prom-posals, said Michele
Velazquez, co-owner of the com-
pany. The Heart Bandits created
a scavenger hunt in Santa Mon-
ica, Calif., that leda girl toa class-
room with candles, rose petals
and her prospective date holding
a Will you go to prom? sign. In
Michigan, signs were posted on a
road ending with an invitation to
prom. Velazquez said shes had
inquiries from other teens, but
most cant afford the $300 price-
tag.
But many prom-posals are cre-
ative without costing a fortune.
In East Greenwich, R.I., baker
Michael Valente at Felicias Cof-
fee got an order for a cake with a
frosting heart and the words, Ju-
liana, Prom? It was something
new for me, Valente said. But I
think it was so sweet.
Search YouTube for prom in-
vitation and youll find home-
made videos of lone Romeos
crooning to their beloveds, flash
mobs dancingtotapedsongs dur-
ing the formal ask, and groups of
kids wearing T-shirts that spell
out PROM one letter at a time.
Keith Naranjo, a senior at a high
school in Manhattan, Kan., put
together a fruit basket with cute
notes for each fruit like Lets go
to the promegranate and Im
berry serious.
A lot of times youll see notes
written on kids car windows
with markers, said Will Sher-
wood, a student at Plant High
School in Tampa who hid his
prom invitation in a bouquet of
flowers. Or there will be 2,000
sticky notes and each sticky note
makes a letter. I sawone on Face-
book where someone left tiny
candles lit on a front porch that
spelled out prom.
He added that because of so-
cial media, people like totake pic-
tures of it and put it up on Face-
book, and then other people will
say, You have such a good guy!
Just be careful where you hang
those signs. Last year, James
Tate, a student at Shelton High
School in Shelton, Conn., was
barred from his prom because he
had put the invitation in big card-
board letters on a school wall.
Fortunately, after the story made
national headlines, the school
headmaster relented, and Tate
was allowed to go.

have switched places in some
cases, too.
Its typically thought that the
guy is the one to invite the girl,
but that simply isnt how its
done anymore.
I asked my neighbor, who
was two years younger than me,
Steph Lorenzo, 25, said. We were
walking home from the bus stop
when I did it. He thought I was
asking if I could go to his junior
prom with him but, no, I was ask-
ing if hed go to my senior prom
with me.
I figured, Screw it. If we want
to go together, well go together,
and it doesnt matter who asks
who.
Sometimes, the questionis just
unnecessary.
I thought you just assumed
you were going to the prom with
your boyfriend, if you had one,
Mia Mattioli, 24, of Harding said.
I probably got gypped on the
asking.

Dear Abby: My hus-
bands son Ill call
him Duncan came
to visit with his fam-
ily. He lived with us
for about six months
on and off when he
was younger. During
that time, he twice went through my
dresser drawers without my permis-
sion. The first time, we discovered
a photo of me in a negligee he had
found and hidden. The second time,
he said he had been looking for a key.
I was furious and felt violated.
During his recent visit, it happened
a third time. I discovered my under-
wear drawer was slightly ajar and
knew Duncan had used the bathroom
in our bedroom. When I told my hus-
band, he asked me not to let it ruin
the rest of their visit. I felt violated
again!
After Duncan and his family left, I
asked my husband if this upset him,
too, and his reply was that he was
upset that I let it bother me. I under-
stand that Duncan is his only son,
but Im hurt that hes taking Duncans
side. Help!
Nervous in Nevada
Dear Nervous: It does appear that
Duncan has an unhealthy fixation on
your underwear drawer, or he may
be a cross-dresser. Because your
husband refuses to discuss this with
his son, the next time Duncan an-
nounces that hes coming for a visit,
offer to buy him lingerie in his size,
or install a sturdy lock on your bed-
room door.
Dear Abby: I have been having an
affair with Ginger for several years.
Shes married and has three kids. Gin-
ger told me she and her husband had
stopped being intimate just before we
started our relationship.
Her husband caught on about a
year ago. By this time Ginger and
I had developed deep feelings for
each other, but we agreed to stop
because he had given her an ultima-
tum either break it off or get out.
We stopped seeing each other for a
few weeks, then she called saying she
had been pregnant but had gotten an
abortion, and we started up again.
This time we had to carefully plan
our limited time together. We contin-
ued our relationship for another eight
months before it finally ended. What
Im having a problem with is Ginger
ended it with no phone call noth-
ing. I havent heard from her in more
than a month, and she wont return
my calls or texts. Dont you think I
deserved a better goodbye?
Sitting by the Phone in Ohio
Dear Sitting By The Phone: Not re-
ally. While closure might have made
this less frustrating for you, Ginger
tried to say goodbye to you before
and it didnt work. What probably
happened is her husband found out
the affair was ongoing and is monitor-
ing her closely. Youll feel better once
you accept that Ginger has chosen
him and the kids and moved on.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Its no
wonder youre successful: Your
actions and intentions are in
perfect alignment. Your focus
has been so narrow and laser
sharp that you cant help but be
effective.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Theres
something good about being
uncomfortable with your situ-
ation. Being too comfortable is
disempowering. Go deeper into
your agitation.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Money is
important, and you can improve
the world with it, so try not to
make judgments that distance
you from wealth. Remember that
money funds the good things in
life like schools, hospitals and
libraries.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Youll
not only notice what you feel,
but youll notice where you feel
it in your body. This information
helps you make choices that are
healthy and puts you in contact
with your deeper intuition.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Whether
you are strapped for cash or just
realize that creativity trumps
pricey dining and entertainment
every time, youll find that you
have excellent ideas about how
to whip up some fun today.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You may
have trouble staying on track,
especially since the new inter-
ests you are delving into are so
compelling. Maybe this distrac-
tion is actually healthy for you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Anyone
can crush on someone new.
If you can develop a crush on
someone youre already in a
committed relationship with,
thats when the magic happens.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Youll
love the people you meet over
the course of the next six days.
People with unexpected gifts will
be drawn to you. Be friendly and
open.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Doing things in a timely man-
ner is important to you. To let
a birthday, social courtesy or
deadline zoom by causes you a
measure of distress. Take pre-
cautions so this wont happen.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You
might be surprised by how rat-
tled you can get. Its as though
there is a little child inside. Just
know that your vulnerability is
what connects and endears you
to others.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Reciprocal affections are conve-
nient, but love is seldom so bal-
anced. Youre not sure how you
feel about someone, although
you may correctly assess how
this person feels about you.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Theres
something youve been experi-
encing as a vague cloud of emo-
tion. If you can put a name on
your feelings, you can release
them and transform your energy.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (May 10).
It has felt like your domestic
and professional lives are at
odds, but this tension is healed
as a complementary energy
takes hold. In May, an easygo-
ing friendship turns into more.
July is your chance at a prize
youve long had your eye on.
Septembers investment will pay
off, which helps you and your
loved ones. Cancer and Libra
people adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 7, 3, 14, 38 and 10.
