LONDON Margaret
Thatcher was laid to rest
Wednesday with prayers
and ceremony, plus cheers
and occasional jeers, as Brit-
ain paused to remember a
leader who transformed the
country for the better ac-
cording to many, but in some
eyes for the worse.
Soaring hymns, Biblical
verse and fond remembranc-
es echoed under the dome of
St. Pauls Cathedral, as 2,300
relatives, friends, colleagues
and dignitaries attended a
ceremonial funeral for Brit-
ains only female prime min-
ister.
Queen Elizabeth II, cur-
rent and former prime min-
isters and representatives
from 170 countries were
among the mourners pack-
ing the cathedral, where
Bishop of London Richard
Chartres spoke of the strong
feelings Thatcher still evokes
23 years after leaving ofce.
The storm of conict-
ing opinions centers on the
Mrs. Thatcher who became
a symbolic gure even an
-ism, he said.
It must be very difcult
for those members of her
family and those closely as-
sociated with her to recog-
nize the wife, the mother
and the grandmother in the
mythological gure.
There is an important
place for debating policies
and legacy but here and
today is neither the time nor
the place, he added.
Security for the funeral
the largest in London for
more than a decade was
tightened after bombings
at the Boston Marathon on
Monday.
More than 700 soldiers,
sailors and air force person-
nel formed a ceremonial
guard along the route taken
by Thatchers cofn to the
cathedral, and around 4,000
police ofcers were on duty.
But while thousands of
supporters and a smaller
number of opponents traded
shouts and arguments, there
was no serious trouble. Po-
lice said there were no ar-
rests, and the only items
thrown at the cortege were
owers.

WASHINGTON Senate
Republicans backed by a small
band of rural-state Democrats
scuttled the most far-reaching
gun control legislation in two
decades on Wednesday, refusing
to tighten background checks
on rearms buyers or ban as-
sault weapons as they spurned
the personal pleas of families
of the victims of last winters
elementary school shootings in
Newtown, Conn.
This effort isnt over, Presi-
dent Barack Obama vowed at
the White House moments after
the defeat on one of his top do-
mestic priorities. Obama, sur-
rounded by Newtown relatives,
said opponents of the legisla-
tion caved to the pressure of
special interests in casting their
votes.
An attempt to ban assault-
style ries went down, too, and
a ban on high-capacity ammuni-
tion magazines faced the same
fate in a series of showdown
votes four months after a gun-
mankilled20 elementary school
children and six staff members
at Sandy Hook Elementary.
A bid to loosen restrictions
on concealed weapons carried
across state lines also fell.
That last vote marked a rare
defeat for the National Rie As-
sociation on a day it generally
emerged triumphant over Presi-
dent Barack Obama, gun con-
trol advocates and individuals
whose lives have been affected
by mass shootings in Connecti-
cut and elsewhere, some of
whom watched from the spec-
tator galleries above the Senate
oor.
Shame on you, shouted one
of them, Patricia Maisch, who
was present two years ago when
a gunman in Tucson, Ariz.,
killed six and wounded 13 oth-
ers, including former Rep. Ga-
brielle Giffords.
Vice President Joe Biden gav-
eled the Senate back into order
after the breach of decorum.
The background check mea-
sure commanded a majority of
senators, 54-46, but that was
well short of the 60 votes need-
ed to advance. Forty-one Repub-
licans and ve Democrats sided
to scuttle the plan.
In the hours before the key
vote, Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.
Va., bluntly accused the Nation-
al Rie Association of making
false claims about the expan-
sion of background checks that
he and Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa.,
were backing.
The NRA did not respond im-
mediately to the charge, but is-
sued a statement after the vote
that restated the claim.

WASHINGTON
Senator faults health law
A
senior Democratic senator who
helped write President Barack
Obamas health care law stunned
administration ofcials Wednesday,
saying openly he thinks its headed for
a train wreck because of bumbling
implementation.
I just see a huge train wreck com-
ing down, Senate Finance Committee
Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., told
Obamas health care chief during a
routine budget hearing that suddenly
turned tense.
Baucus is the rst top Democrat to
publicly voice fears about the rollout
of the new health care law. Polls show
that Americans remain confused by
the complex law, and even many unin-
sured people are skeptical they will be
helped by benets that start next year.
A six-term veteran, Baucus is still
trying to recover from approval ratings
that nosedived amid displeasure with
the health care law in his home state.
BEIRUT
Assad pins blame on U.S.
Syrias president accused the West
on Wednesday of backing al-Qaida in
his countrys civil war, warning it will
pay a price in the heart of Europe
and the United States as the terror
network becomes emboldened.
Bashar Assad also lashed out at
Jordan for allowing thousands of
ghters to enter Syria through its
borders and warned that the re will
not stop at Syrias border.
The rare TV interview with the
government-run Al-Ikhbariya channel
marking Syrias independence day
comes as the embattled presidents
military is ghting to reverse rebel
advances, with a rocket attack killing
at least 12 people in a central village
on Wednesday.

Army unit headed to Jordan
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel
told Congress on Wednesday that the
Pentagon is sending about 200 soldiers
from an Army headquarters unit to Jor-
dan to assist efforts to contain violence
along the Syrian border and plan for
any operations needed to ensure the
safety of chemical weapons in Syria.
The 1st Armored Division troops
are largely planners and will replace a
similar number of U.S. forces that have
been in Jordan for some months. They
will include specialists in intelligence,
logistics and operations.
The unit is based at Fort Bliss,
Texas.
NEW YORK
Pink diamond sells for $39.3M
A rare pink diamond once owned by
Indian royalty has sold for $39.3 mil-
lion at auction in New York City.
The price for the 34.65-carat
diamond that sold at Christies on
Tuesday was the second-highest ever
for a jewel sold at auction. The seller
and buyer were anonymous.
The gem nicknamed the Princie
Diamond was discovered 300 years
ago in the Golconda mines in India.
It once belonged to the Nizam of
Hyderabad, an Indian prince. In 1960,
the diamond was purchased at auction
by the London branch of the jeweler
Van Cleef & Arpels.
Its name was bestowed at a party
at the rms Paris store. It was called
Princie in honor of the 14-year-old
prince of Baroda, who attended the
party with his mother, Maharani Sita
Devi.

Therapy
for gays
debated
in Calif.
SAN FRANCISCO A fed-
eral appeals court on Wednesday
grappled with Californias rst-
in-the-nation bid to bar licensed
mental health professionals from
offering therapies aimed at mak-
ing gay and lesbian teenagers
straight.
A three-judge panel of the 9th
U.S. Court of Appeals closely
questioned both sides during the
90-minute hearing as it consid-
ered two challenges to the ban
on sexual-orientation change
counseling of minors that was
signed into law last fall.
The pivot point of the le-
gal debate, as Judge Morgan
Christen called it, appears to
be whether such counseling is
speech protected by the First
Amendment or medical treat-
ment that can be regulated by
government.
Chief Judge Alex Kozinski
noted the U.S. Supreme Court
struck down a California ban of
violent video games because the
state failed to show a compelling
reason to infringe on game-mak-
ers free speech rights to manu-
facture the products.
He said it appeared the same
argument could be applied to the
evidence lawmakers relied on in
passing the prohibition on sexu-
al-orientation change therapy.
We really dont have anything
compelling, as I see it, Kozinski
said. Government has to have a
compelling interest in curtailing
speech.
California Deputy Attorney
General Alexandra Robert Gor-
don, who is defending the ban,
cited mainstream medical or-
ganizations support of the law,
and testimony before the state
Legislature by several people
who said they were harmed by
the counseling.
Kozinski replied that oppo-
nents of the law also testied
before lawmakers that they ben-
eted from the counseling.
There is evidence going both
ways, Kozinski concluded.
Lawyers for parents of chil-
dren who are undergoing the
counseling and licensed profes-
sionals who administer the talk
therapy argued the ban goes too
far. But Mathew Staver, founder
of the Liberty Counsel and a law-
yer opposing the law, said there
is no evidence of harm.
The ban was to take effect
Jan. 1. The appeals court put the
law on hold until it resolves the
issue, which has yielded to con-
tradictory lower court rulings so
far.
Appeals court on Wednesday
hears challenges to ban on
controversial treatments.

Cheers, few jeers for former British prime minister
Woman reportedly confesses in Texas trios deaths
KAUFMAN, Texas The
wife of a former North Tex-
as justice of the peace was
charged with capital murder
after confessing to her involve-
ment in the three shooting
deaths of the local district
attorney, his wife and an as-
sistant prosecutor, authorities
said Wednesday.
Kim Williams was arrested
early Wednesday, a day after
she told investigators that she
and her husband, Eric Wil-
liams, were involved in the
shootings of the Kaufman
County district attorney, his
wife and one of his prosecu-
tors, according to documents
in the case.
The afdavit says Kim Lene
Williams described in detail
her role along with that of her
husband but was unclear on
who she said committed the
shooting.
Kaufman County District At-
torney Mike McLelland and as-
sistant prosecutor Mark Hasse
prosecuted Eric Williams last
year for theft of three comput-
er monitors. Williams was con-
victed and sentenced to proba-
tion. He also lost his elected
position as justice of the peace
a judge who handles mostly
administrative duties and
his law license.
McLelland and his wife,
Cynthia, were found dead
March 30, two months after
Hasse was slain.
The ofcer who signed the
afdavit, Kaufman County
Sheriffs Sgt. Matt Woodall,
said he had learned from other
ofcers and county employees
that Hasse and Mike McLel-
land both believed Williams
blamed them for the loss of his
job and carried handguns after
the trial because they thought
he was a threat to their per-
sonal safety.
Kim Williams was being
held on $10 million bond at the
Kaufman County Jail, sheriffs
spokesman Lt. Justin Lewis
said. He declined to answer
questions about the investiga-
tion but said families of the
victims would be briefed on
the case.

PLAINS TWP. Area resi-
dents can receive free memory
screenings on Tuesday that
could, in turn, help determine
if they are eligible to partici-
pate in a clinical trial of a drug
designed to prevent Alzheim-
ers disease.
The memory screenings, as
well as the drug trial, are being
conducted locally by the NEPA
Memory and Alzheimers Cen-
ter, 220 River St., Suite 101,
Plains Township. Its part of a
large study being done at about
100 sites worldwide by Roche
Pharmaceuticals dubbed the
Scarlet Road study.
Were trying to prevent the
conversion of patients with
mild cognitive impairment
problems into Alzheimers pa-
tients, said Dr. Mario Cornac-
chione, the centers program
director. Its a very safe drug;
we havent had any serious
problems. Theres a lot of mon-
itoring.
Tuesdays memory screen-
ing neither obliges a person
to participate or guarantees a
spot in the trial. The screen-
ing is a non-invasive memory
test, Cornacchione said. If the
screening suggest s a person
is suitable for the trial, more
tests, including checking for
biomarkers that indicate the
potential for Alzheimers, must
be done.
The center is looking for
people who might have pro-
dromal Alzheimers, accord-
ing to a press release. Pro-
dromal is a medical term for
the initial stages of a disease.
Participants must be between
50 and 85 years old.
Alzheimers is an organic dis-
ease. Atrophy of parts of the
brain cause progressive and ir-
reversible loss of memory and
eventually can impact speech
and the ability to walk. Cornac-
chione said this study is unique
because the drug is designed
to prevent people susceptible
to the disease from getting it.
If a person is eligible for and
agrees to participate in the
study, he or she would receive
a shot about every four weeks
for two years and ve months,
Cornacchione said. Overall,
participants will be divided
into three groups: One-third
will receive a low dose of the
drug, another will receive a
moderate dose and the third
group will receive a placebo.
This means participants will
have an better chance at get-
ting the actual drug than in
most studies, which usually
use a 50/50 drug-to-placebo ra-
tio, Cornacchione said. Partici-
pants also will receive modest
compensation for their time
and traveling expenses to and
from the Plains Township cen-
ter.

LCCC president and student switch roles
NANTICOKE Children
are often told by their parents
and teachers that they can
grow up and one day become
president.
Michael Danilowicz, 35, of
New Columbus, put a twist on
that adage he grew up and
became president of Luzerne
County Community College
for one day.
Danilowicz was selected
fromthe LCCCstudent popula-
tion to trade places with Presi-
dent Thomas
Leary for
one day
Wednesday
and Leary, in
turn, became
a student
who attend-
ed classes
in place of
Dani l owi cz.
This is the rst year for the
program, Leary said.
Michael will learn what its
like to be the leader of a mul-
tifaceted institution, and Ill
get the students perception of
what is good and not so good
at LCCC, Leary said. At the
end of the day, Michael and I
will meet and exchange notes.
And we will continue to meet
going forward.
Danilowicz has a degree in
journalism and American stud-
ies, plus a minor in English,
from Penn State University. He
graduated from Penn State in
2002, came home and couldnt
nd a job. He said his parents
were ill and he helped care for
them; his dad recovered, but
his mom passed away.
Danilowicz got a job stock-
ing shelves at Walmart and
stayed there for six years.
I guess I kind of got off
track, he said. Last summer
I had a moment I decided I
was better than this and I de-
cided to go back to school.
Danilowicz enrolled at
LCCC; in December he will re-
ceive his associates degree in
audio/visual communications.
He then will embark on a job
search in the eld he loves.
My family has a dairy farm
Dan Crest Farms and my
three older brothers work the
farm, he said. Im not a farm-
er. I amfortunate to be the rst
in my family to go to college,
and I want to make something
of that.
As LCCC president for the
day, said Danilowicz, he had
a busy schedule ahead of him
several meetings on top-
ics such as team leadership,
student life and athletics and
nance, then a luncheon meet-
ing with Elaine Cook, chair-
woman of the LCCC Board of
Trustees.
I gave up everything to
come back to school, he said.
I want to use this as a learn-
ing opportunity.
Danilowicz said he was go-
ing to discuss an issue that ap-
parently is growing at LCCC
making the campus smoke-
free. The issue is being talked
about informally but could
become a serious debate soon,
Leary said.
Theres nothing document-
ed at this time, Leary said.
But there are many advocates
around who want to see this
happen. We havent had any
formal discussions, but I ex-
pect it to come up as an issue
soon.
Danilowicz said he intended
to discuss the issue during his
one-day reign. We have smok-
ing huts on campus and they
are in pretty bad shape, he
said. I cant see putting mon-
ey into repairing those huts if
were going to ban smoking on
campus. If we become smoke-
free, we would remove the
huts.
Danilowicz said he expects
opposition fromsome students
once the smoke-free issue goes
public.
The average age of an LCCC
student is 27, Leary said. But
were a two-year college and
the student body has a quick
turnover, he said. Incoming
students would only know
LCCC as a smoke-free cam-
pus.
Sounds pretty presidential,
but Leary said he will follow-
up with Danilowicz to discuss
the issue and others at LCCC.
We see value in getting the
students perspectives, said
Leary. And thats not blowing
smoke.

Student hurt
in ght at
Crestwood
By MARK GUYDISH
mguydish@timesleader.com
A recent ght in the Crest-
wood High School cafeteria
resulted in the school nurse de-
ciding a student should be taken
by ambulance for treatment, Su-
perintendent Dave McLaughlin-
Smith conrmed Wednesday.
The Times Leader received an
anonymous tip alleging a ght
that purportedly lasted about a
minute or more occurred April
10, with slow or no adult inter-
vention. In an email response,
McLaughlin Smith conrmed
there was an incident during
which one student instigated
a confrontation. He added:
There were adults in the cafete-
ria as well as cafeteria workers
and custodial staff.
The incident was handled as
quickly as possible, McLaugh-
lin-Smith wrote. Our procedure
is to have our (School Resource
Ofcer) and medical person-
nel involved in case charges are
led. The altercation is still un-
der investigation.
Asked if the student was trans-
ported for treatment by ambu-
lance, McLaughlin-Smith wrote:
We have on occasion called 911
when we believe a situation ne-
cessitates it. The school nurse
felt the ambulance would best
serve the need of the student.
McLaughlin-Smith added that
the student might have banged
his head in the incident.
No other information was
available.
postmarked Memphis, Tenn.
Both letters said: To see
a wrong and not expose it, is
to become a silent partner to
its continuance. Both were
signed, I am KC and I approve
this message.
As authorities scurried to
investigate three questionable
packages discovered in Senate
ofce buildings, reports of sus-
picious items also came in from
at least three senators ofces
in their home states.
Sen. Carl Levin said a staff
member at his Saginaw, Mich.,
ofce would spend the night
in a hospital as a precaution
after discovering a suspicious
letter. The staff member had
no symptoms, Levin said in
a statement. He expected to
learn preliminary results of
tests on the letter by Thursday.
Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., said
suspicious letters at his Phoe-
nix ofce had been cleared with
nothing dangerous found. A
package at Sen. John Cornyns
Dallas-area ofce also was de-
clared harmless, a re depart-
ment spokesman said.
All three packages in the
Capitol complex turned out to
be safe, Capitol police spokes-
woman Makema Turner said
late Wednesday. But a man was
still being questioned after be-
ing stopped in connection with
the packages, she said.
All the activity came as ten-
sions were high in Washington
and across the country after
Mondays bombings at the Bos-
ton Marathon that killed three
people and injured more than
170. The FBI said there was
no indication of a connection
between the letters and the
bombing. The letters to Obama
and Wicker were postmarked
April 8, before the marathon.
Obamas press secretary, Jay
Carney, said mail sent to the
White House is screened at a
remote site for the safety of the
recipients and the general pub-
lic. He declined to comment
on the signicance of the pre-
liminary ricin result, referring
questions to the FBI.
Capitol Police swiftly ramped
up security, and lawmakers and
staff were cautioned away from
some parts of the Hill complex.
After hours of jangled nerves,
ofcials signaled it was safe to
move throughout the area and
people settled back to normal,
if watchful, activity.
Senate Sergeant-at-Arms
Terrance Gainer said that an
individual who was responsible
for simultaneous suspicious-
package incidents in the
Hart and Russell Senate of-
ce buildings on Tuesday
was detained and released
on Wednesday. The pack-
ages were not hazardous.
Gainer said the man was
not particularly harmful, al-
though terribly disruptive.
At a House hearing, Post-
master General Patrick Dona-
hoe noted there had been ricin
alerts since the notorious 2001
anthrax mailings and proce-
dures are in place to protect
postal employees and help
track down culprits.
Over the course of years
weve had some situations
where there have been ricin
scares, Donahoe said. Until
this date, theres never been
any actually proved that have
gone through the system.
Even during the urry of
concern, normal business con-
tinued across most of the Capi-
tol and its ofce buildings, with
tour groups passing through
and visitors streaming in and
out of Wickers ofce.
Amy Keough of Stow, Mass.,
and her family were searching
for an open entrance to the Rus-
sell Senate Ofce building and
walked by a U.S. Capitol Police
hazardous materials vehicle.
The Keoughs had been vis-
iting Washington for several
days, but Mondays marathon
bombing was on their minds.
We dont know really what
more stringent emissions stan-
dards than those installed previ-
ously. And the turbines operate
in enclosures.
As for what residents living
in the vicinity of the compres-
sor station can expect, our
hope is that they dont hear or
see anything, Stockston said,
adding the station must meet
the FERCs acceptable range for
noise levels.
The FERC has the nal say-
so on this proposed project, and
commission representatives had
a booth set up at the back of the
ballroom to answer questions
and take feedback.
On the right, more Williams
representatives manned tables
with aerial maps showing prop-
erty lines and detailed pipeline
locations, so land owners could
ask questions and point out con-
cerns.
Frank Petroski brought his
wife, Dawn, and daughter Kris-
ten so the family could get some
specics about the project, part
of which begins in and runs
through their Slocum Township
farm.
Petroski said Williams has
easements on his land for two
existing pipelines, and the 4.2-
mile stretch of new pipeline
will begin at his farm and run
between the two existing pipe-
lines, he said, pointing to an
aerial map.
Petroski said Williams created
pasture land over the pipelines
years ago, and he uses the land
to grow hay to feed his horses
and cows. The project could
disrupt that hay production and
he might have to buy feed. He
wanted specic time frames on
the work so he knows what to
expect, and if construction ve-
hicles would be traveling up his
driveway.
Petroski said he learned the
work was scheduled to begin
in January 2015 if the project
is approved, and construction
vehicles would not be very near
his home. And, Williams would
pay himthe cost of the feed if his
production is pushed off sched-
ule. Williams, over the years,
has been very helpful, he said.
Stockton said Williams needs
to expand the pipeline by about
25 miles of new pipe to accom-
modate growth and new cus-
tomers. He said there is more
demand now than ever for natu-
ral gas because many companies
are converting to it, given that
an abundance of Marcellus Shale
gas in the Northeast has driven
down prices.
Most of the expansion projects
are in Pennsylvania and NewJer-
sey, but there are some facility
upgrades in some other states.
The distance from the start of
the pipeline in the Gulf of Mexi-
co to the end in NewYork City is
about 2,000 miles, but there are
10,000 miles of pipe in the entire
system, Stockton said.
for the county since 1999, is
paid $51,323. The prison sup-
ply clerk, a 23-year employee,
makes $55,236.
Most clerks start at around
$21,000.
Lawton told County Councils
strategic initiatives committee
Tuesday it would make sense
to set maximum salaries for
clerks and some other position
categories. A salary range could
allow some pay progression, but
he does not believe employees
should continue receiving pay
increases once they hit caps for
these positions, he said.
Councilwoman Linda Mc-
Closky Houck, a committee
member, questioned the strategy,
saying it takes away the incentive
for employees who have accrued
valuable experience and demon-
strated loyalty. It would not be
fair for new employees to make
the same or about the same as
veteran ones, she said.
Maxed out
The county should be paying a
fair salary for the position itself,
said Lawton, and even the best
clerk in the whole county must
face reality if compensation for
that position has maxed out.
To pay someone a steadily
increasing salary to stay in the
same position for decades may
not be the best approach, he
said. It may be better to encour-
age a person to take on more re-
sponsibilities and seek advance-
ment if they want more pay.
Employees who choose to
remain in the same position
would still receive a benet after
they reach their salary cap be-
cause their county pension will
increase with years of employ-
ment, Lawton said.
He also pointed to the prob-
lem of varying salaries for the
same position in different depart-
ments.
For example, a non-union exec-
utive secretary in the courts who
was hired in 1985 is paid $48,068,
compared to the $37,450 salary
of the unionized coroners ofce
executive administrative assis-
tant hired the same year.
The county employs 110 secre-
taries, administrative assistants
and executive secretaries, re-
cords show. Of that, 53 are paid
$30,000 to $39,999, 32 receive
$40,000 to $49,999 and four have
salaries of more than $50,000.
One administrative assistant
II in a human services branch
is paid $66,611 after 35 years of
employment, records show.
Councilman Jim Bobeck,
chairman of the strategic initia-
tives committee, said he sup-
ports pay caps but believes the
county must start with an objec-
tive reclassication of all posi-
tions. Pay increases and bonuses
should be based on merit, which
would factor in experience and
institutional knowledge, he
said.
Subjective increases
McClosky Houck raised con-
cerns that merit increases would
be subjective and awarded
only to employees favored by
managers. Raises granted to
union workers assume merit,
she said, because managers are
expected to take action if em-
ployees arent performing.
The topic of compensation
came up because the strategic
initiatives committee is de-
veloping proposed workforce
goals for council adoption. The
administration will use the ad-
opted standards as a guide in fu-
ture decisions about employee
compensation and benets.
Ofcials say some alterations
might be possible next year
because six of the countys 10
union agreements expire Dec.
31. These expiring contracts
cover about 900 of the countys
1,500 employees.
The expiring contracts for
assistant district attorneys/
public defenders and the pris-
on allow the right to binding
arbitration if negotiations reach
an impasse. The four remaining
unions covering the rank-and-
le residual unit and children-
and-youth, aging and mental-
health employees have the right
to strike.
County ofcials can change
benets and other workforce
standards for the roughly 300
non-union workers without
negotiation. However, ofcials
have said it would be unfair
to immediately force all new
standards on this group of em-
ployees when it will take sev-
eral rounds of union contracts
likely decades to fully
implement changes for workers
bound by collective-bargaining
agreements.

Information that led to
the ring came up during
interviews with employees
conducted in an internal in-
vestigation begun before the
retirement last August of
Fred DeSanto from the exec-
utive directors job, Tomaine
said.
Jacobs case is not related
to that of DeSanto, Tomaine
said.
DeSantos case also was
referred to the district attor-
ney. DeSanto allegedly used
WVSA staff to do work on
his Pittston Township home
and for the District 16 Little
League for which he was a
district director.
He had been executive di-
rector since 1998. He exited
abruptly on Aug. 27 and had
been scheduled to be inter-
viewed by the WVSA board
about the allegations. He
held other positions in WV-
SAs administration for 18
years.

since council voted last week to
conrm Lawtons appointment
of Greenwald. Nobody offered
him another position in the of-

Floras litigation over ofce

The ofce has a $2.7 million

County engineer job advertised
A job posting seeking a chief county
engineer to replace Joe Gibbons is
on the county website, www.luzer-
necounty.org. Gibbons has obtained
employment outside the region.
The salary range is $56,000 to
$84,000. The rst review of ap-
plicants will be April 24.
to receive something per-
haps a decorative tile at a
private meeting Friday at City
Hall.
The city agreed to help her
after a Times Leader reporter
made inquiries.
The city has been reluctant
to agree to publicize accom-
modating her request. City Ad-
ministrative Coordinator Drew
McLaughlin said once word
gets out that Rizzos request
was granted, the city would be
inundated with hundreds of
similar requests.
McLaughlin said the current
legal owner of the building and
the property is CityVest, a non-
prot corporation that tried
unsuccessfully to preserve and
market the Sterling.
They can make a decision
about to who and how they will
dispense their own property,
he said. At this time, the city
is focused on completing the
demolition not acquiring
title until the hazard has been
removed.
The city had no say in how
the $6 million Luzerne County
community development loan
was spent by CityVest under
the direction of the county,
McLaughlin said.
CityVest ofcials have kept a
low prole since the city con-
demned the hotel in 2011 be-
cause of structural problems.
The seven-story Sterling was
built in 1897 and opened in
1898, but in recent decades it
had deteriorated and has been
shuttered for years. CityVest is
the owner of record.
At the current time, the
building and land are privately
owned, he said. Its not our
building or property.
McLaughlin said anybody
interested in obtaining a
piece of history should con-
tact CityVest. Several calls to
CityVest and to its spokesman,
Alex Rogers, were not returned.
The city has an artifact al-
ready in possession from the
building that was not used for
the display case and we can
give that to the Rizzo family,
McLaughlin said.
Tony Brooks, director of de-
velopment and public relations
at the Luzerne County Histori-
cal Society, said several granite
and copper pieces of the Ster-
ling are in the organizations
possession for safekeeping and
future display. He said he has
not received any inquiries from
people seeking artifacts from
the soon-to-be-demolished
building.
Its important to our family
and it would be a nice memen-
to to commemorate my par-
ents 65th wedding anniversa-
ry, Rizzo said. Its a nice way
to remember where they began
their married life together.
Rizzo was hoping to be able
to locate the guest registry
from the hotel, but her search
turned up no leads. He parents
were married on July 3, 1948,
in Darby near Philadelphia and
took a bus to Wilkes-Barre to
stay at the Sterling.

Sister Anastasia (Julia) Charnichko
April 11, 2013
During one
of the most
beautiful times
of the liturgi-
cal year, the
Paschal season,
Sister Anas-
tasia (Julia)
Ch a r n i c h ko
peacefully gave her life back to
the Risen Savior. It was early in
the afternoon of Thursday, April
11, 2013, that Sister Anastasias
earthly life ended and her new life
began.
The daughter of the late Mi-
chael and Martha (Dobony) Char-
nichko, Sister Anastasia was born
in the Georgetown section of Wil-
kes-Barre Township. She entered
the Sisters of St. Basil the Great
from her home parish of St. John
the Baptist Byzantine Rite Catho-
lic Church, Wilkes-Barre Town-
ship, on March 28, 1946. Sister
Anastasia pronounced her rst
vows on Feb. 12, 1948 and made
her perpetual profession on Aug.
28, 1953 in the presence of the
late Bishop Daniel Ivancho.
Sixty-seven of her 85 years of
life were totally devoted to the
service of the Lord in whatever
work she was assigned to do. As
a talented and meticulous seam-
stress, most of Sister Anastasias
years of service were spent in the
vestment department at the mon-
astery; in fact, this was her minis-
try for almost 30 years before she
was admitted to Mount Macrina
Manor in April 2009.
The years prior to 1980 would
nd her alternatively assigned
to supportive services at the
Byzantine Catholic Seminary
or the archbishops residence
in Pittsburgh and the vestment
department in Uniontown. Like
Sister Isidore, who preceded her
in death, Sister Anastasias work
was well-known to the clergy of
the Byzantine Catholic Metro-
politan Church of Pittsburgh. She
lovingly and carefully fashioned
the vestments and other liturgical
articles needed for the divine ser-
vices. While her work was truly
appreciated, it is equally true that
she was looked to for support,
encouragement and spiritual re-
freshment.
In the monastery, Sister Anas-
tasia is probably best known for
her quiet and unassuming man-
ner, her faithfulness to prayer and
her love of her religious vocation.
During her years at the manor,
she could be relied on for her
compassion with and prayer for
those who brought their concerns
to her.
When Sister Anastasia cel-
ebrated her golden anniversary
of religious life, she spoke of her
gratitude for her religious voca-
tion and her thanks for persever-
ing in it. This grace is one highly
treasured by all religious, and Sis-
ter Anastasias moment of death,
surrounded by a number of her
Sisters in community, is testimo-
ny of the fulllment of this deep
desire.
Sister Anastasia was preceded
in death by her parents; her sister,
Helen Kozup; and her brothers,
Charles, Nicholas, Andrew, John,
Michael and George.
In addition to her Sisters in
community, she is survived by
her devoted sisters, Mary Pu-
katch and Elizabeth Popovich,
and many nieces and nephews.
Relatives and friends were
received at the Monastery Cha-
pel on Monday. The funeral of
Divine Liturgy was celebrated
by Metropolitan Archbishop Wil-
liam C. Skurla on Tuesday in the
Monastery Chapel. Interment fol-
lowed in the Dormition section of
Mount Macrina Cemetery.
Local services to Sister Anasta-
sias family are in the care of the
John V. Morris Family Funeral
Homes Inc. of Wilkes-Barre.

OPEN LETTER TOTHE VOTERS OF PLYMOUTH BOROUGH
My name is James Mahon and I am running for a seat on the Plymouth Borough Council in the May 2013 primary on the Democrat side of the
ballot. Since my early childhood growing up on Avondale Hill in Plymouth Township, this community has played a very important part of my
life. I currently reside in Plymouth. I have seen Plymouth in the best of times and now in the worst of times. Remember when Plymouth was
looked at as an ideal place to live, work and raise a family; when push came to shove we let all know that it was SHAWNEE AGAINST THE
WORLD!? In the past Plymouth has produced outstanding individuals, from Governors, to professional athletes, business leaders and good
hard working citizens. I remember a Plymouth one that was famous and proud and not for a town involved in extensive criminal activity.
No longer is it SHAWNEEAGAINST THE WORLD, it is the world laughing at old Shawnee! I can no longer sit by and watch, the only
way I know how to x the problem is by getting involved and running for council. My Platform is very simple;
Lower taxes (We pay enough already) - ELIMINATING BOROUGH MANAGER POSITION
I am not a politician and will make the decisions necessary to make Plymouth a better place to live
even if that means I am a one term councilperson.
Welcome our new neighbors, who have relocated to our town, make them feel part of the community and get them to become involved.
Hold all absentee landlords accountable.
Increase funding for Police protection.
Eliminate the Borough Manager position this will save tax dollars and let us reduce what you pay.
Look into the positives of changing our borough government through (eg.) a Home Rule Study Commission this may be a pathway to reduced property
taxes and gain better services.
Have council support the efforts of Plymouth Alive and be a partner with citizen projects.
No more closed door, back room deals. All borough business to be conducted in open meetings with citizens allowed and encouraged to ask questions.
Promote business growth and expansion.
Have complete accountability for all funds that are being distributed to the borough no matter what source
they come through, including redevelopment.
Work with the school district to provide access to our young people so that they have a place to safely socialize and play throughout the year.
Reach out to our neighboring boroughs for consolidated management of expenses for police protection and purchasing power for future projects.
This is our town and if you are tired of the good old boys running it into the ground, join me and help take it back. My name is JAMES MAHON
and I am running for council on the Democrat ticket and am humbly asking for your vote on May 21st.
Thank you for your time. James Mahon

The Associated Press
PITTSBURGH Wholesale
natural gas prices have doubled
during the last year, and thats
bringing sighs of relief from an
unusual variety of interests.
Soaring production and an
unusually warm winter sent
prices plunging to under $2
per thousand cubic feet last
spring, prompting some to
wonder whether the natural
gas boom would kill demand
for both coal and new renew-
able energy.
But natural gas is now just
over $4 per thousand cubic
feet. Energy experts say prices
in the $4 or $5 range wont af-
fect the increasing use of the
fuel by consumers and indus-
try since the price was $8 just
a few years ago. In Europe and
Asia prices are even higher
$10 to $14.
I dont think anyone in
their right mind thought $2
or $3 natural gas was here to
stay, said Manuj Nikhanj, the
head of Energy Research at
ITG Investment Research, a
worldwide nancial rm based
in New York. He added that
current prices are still pretty
cheap.
Gas drilling companies are
obviously happy with the ris-
ing price, and so are leasehold-
ers and states that get revenue
based on the market price.
But the coal industry and re-
newable energy advocates are
cheering the news, too, since
gas no longer has a huge price
advantage over those other en-
ergy sources.
Some even suggest that at
current prices both natural gas
and renewables win.
Ultimately in the long term,
gas and renewables are really
well paired, said Christina
Simeone, the director of Pen-
nFuture Energy Center, which
is run by an environmental
group.

wary about plans to raise taxes
or fees to boost transportation
spending raised the prospect
Wednesday that they will in-
sist rst on major changes,
such as abolishing the Penn-
sylvania Turnpike Commis-
sion, to make public money go
further.
The House Republican ma-
jority will be under pressure in
the 10 weeks before the Legis-
lature departs Harrisburg for
the summer to make the case
against a massive transpor-
tation funding plan. Making
the case for one are leading
senators from both political
parties, Republican Gov. Tom
Corbett and a slew of groups
from the Pennsylvania Cham-
ber of Business and Industry
to the AARP.
Even one member of the
House Republican leadership
acknowledged that there is
tremendous pressure on the
issue.
I dont think we thought
there was going to be this
much momentum for trans-
portation, said Rep. Mike
Vereb, R-Montgomery, the
caucus secretary.
Many House Republicans
said they acknowledge a need
for more money to ush into
the states transportation sys-
tems, and Democrats are on
board with such efforts. But
raising taxes and fees will be a
hard sell for conservatives, and
Vereb even suggested that the
Senate may need to help sell
it to rank-and-le Republicans
who control the House.
I have a lot of concerns and
a lot of skepticism about rais-
ing taxes on Pennsylvanias
citizens during the difcult
economic time that weve been
in, said Rep. Stephen Bloom,
R-Cumberland.
Rather, lawmakers should
focus on making public money
work more efciently, he said.
Ideas raised by Bloom and
other lawmakers include shift-
ing the operations of the Penn-
sylvania Turnpike Commis-
sion to the state Department
of Transportation, lifting pre-
vailing wage requirements for
municipal road projects and
demanding more cost savings
from mass transit agencies.
Sen. John Wozniak, the rank-
ing Democrat on the Senate
Transportation Committee,
shot back that lawmakers who
are afraid of a vote to increase
motorist taxes and fees will
roll out a long list of demands
that must be satised rst.
And if they dont get that
long list, theyll take their ball
and go home, Wozniak said.
To not do anything is the fool-
ish thing to do.
Wozniak and other Demo-
cratic lawmakers, as well as
Senate Republicans, have pres-
sured Corbett to take the lead
on advocating for a transporta-
tion funding package since he
took ofce in 2011 as a way to
boost the economy, improve
residents quality of life and
deal with public safety con-
cerns fueled by deteriorating
highways and bridges.
For now, Senate Transpor-
tation Committee Chairman
John Rafferty, R-Montgomery,
on Tuesday unveiled a $2.5
billion plan that is more am-
bitious and expensive than
the $1.8 billion proposal that
Corbett oated in January.
PennDOT is spending $5.3
billion this year on highways,
bridges and transit.
Wozniak said he could make
the case that keeping the turn-
pike commission has adminis-
trative advantages and pointed
out that the Corbett adminis-
tration is already taking steps
to save money on the opera-
tions of the turnpike and mass
transit agencies.
But he said that Democrats
will ght any effort to under-
mine the boost to workers pay
that prevailing wage laws pro-
vide.
House Republicans said
eliminating the Pennsylvania
Turnpike Commission in the
wake of corruption charges
against ve ex-employees
there could save upwards of
$300 million a year in admin-
istrative costs. The turnpike
commissions operating bud-
get for the scal year is $327
million.
There are clear savings,
not to mention the public has
demanded we abolish the turn-
pike commission as we know
it, said Rep. Jim Christiana,
R-Beaver.
Drillers and others are happy
for increase after prices sank
below $2.

HARRISBURG A bill to
allow Pennsylvanians to regis-
ter online to vote is on its way
to the House of Representa-
tives.
Wednesdays vote in the state
Senate was unanimous on a bill
that would bring Pennsylvania
into the growing ranks of states
that allow the practice.
The National Conference
of State Legislatures says 16
states have approved online
voter registration and its a
hot topic in more than a dozen
other states.
The Pennsylvania Depart-
ment of State, which oversees
elections, had begun setting
up an online voter registration
system last year. But it was
dropped amid complaints from
county ofcials that they were
swamped with the demands of
the states new voter identica-
tion law.
The Senate also passed bills
to require campaign nance
reports and lobbyist disclosure
reports to be led electroni-
cally.
Online registration for Pa. voters?
Senate gives unanimous
approval to bill, which
House is next to consider.

Hearing
set on Pa.s
suit against
the NCAA
By MARK SCOLFORO
Associated Press
HARRISBURG Lawyers for
the NCAA and Gov. Tom Corbett
have been summoned to a federal
courtroom in Harrisburg to argue
about a motion seeking to dismiss
Corbetts antitrust lawsuit against
college sports governing body.
U.S. District Judge Yvette Kane
on Tuesday scheduled oral argu-
mentforMay1, nearlyfourmonths
after the Republicangovernor led
a lawsuit over the NCAAs penal-
ties against Penn State.
The NCAA has argued that its
consent decree with Penn State,
generated by the schools handling
of the Jerry Sandusky child mo-
lestation scandal, does not violate
federal antitrust law and actually
improves competition in college
sports. Penn State is not a party to
the lawsuit.
Corbetts lawsuit accuses the
NCAA of exploiting the Sandusky
case to increase the power of the
organizations president and help
some universities gain a competi-
tive advantage.
In asking for oral argument, the
NCAA said Kane could decide the
case based on its motion to dis-
miss.
Corbetts general counsel, James
D. Schultz, released a statement
expressing condence in the law-
suits merits. TheNCAAofferedno
immediate comment.
Kane is also handling a lawsuit
by the NCAA against Corbett and
other state ofcials. That lawsuit
challenges a newstate lawthat re-
quires the $60 million in penalties
paid by Penn State remain within
the state. The NCAA on Monday
leda motionthat argues that law-
suit should not be dismissed.
In the pending criminal case
against three former Penn State
administrators accused of cov-
ering up complaints about San-
dusky, retired university adminis-
trator Gary Schultz led a motion
Wednesday asking to have records
in his case unsealed.

EDITORIAL
Writer challenges paper
to start seeking the truth
N
o wonder people dont read the paper
anymore. People want the truth and
not a one-sided bunch of lies.
Did The Times Leader sell out to
Rupert Murdochs of this world? Dont the
facts mean anything to you? You say an
editorial must be 250 words or less and
yet I read some that are 300 words and
always about what a lousy job the Demo-
crats and Obama are doing. I put two
editorials in, 250 words long and havent
heard a word back. Of course they were
about how the Republicans arent work-
ing with Obama to get badly needed good
paying jobs like they said the Democrats
werent doing.
The Times Leader doesnt seem to
know how to handle the facts when it
hears them. My wife wrote about how
Romney was a bully in college and how
he cut a guys hair off while four of his
buddies held him. The Times Leader said
it couldnt print it because it never heard
it before. No, you wont hear it and other
truths if you get your information from
Fox News talking heads. If Congressman
Lou Barletta is for the working people,
why did he vote yes on the Ryan budget?
That plan is so harmful to the seniors,
poor, and middle class, while rewarding
the rich. The Times Leader stopped
looking for the truth about a year ago.

Wife thanks everyone
who cared for husband
O
n March 11, 2013, my husband Rory
Shaver was diagnosed with stage IV
cancer; he passed away April 3.
I just want to thank the wonderful peo-
ple who took care of him and helped me
in my time of need. First, Id like to recog-
nize Geisinger Hospital. The emergency
room and radiation department doctor
and the nurses on the fth and sixth oor
were fantastic, especially Lindsay, Rachel,
Dr. Miller and Carol. Hospice Commu-
nity Care of Geisinger South was great,
as were the incredible people I work with
at Riverside Nursing home, particularly
Alicia, Kacie and Tracy.
Id also like to show gratitude to the
nice people at the VA and Social Security
ofce for trying to rush things for us.
Id like to recognize the Home Health
Celtic nurses and social workers. Id like
to show appreciation to the Swoyers-
ville 644 Legion; his best friend Sonny
Kasisky; Cooks Medical and Pharmacy
and attorney Klugers ofce, Debbie
Housenick was so helpful; my wonderful
sister, Debbie Cooper; and Rorys family
for helping me through this traumatic
time in my life.
Great appreciation goes to Daniel
Hughes, who did a beautiful service, and
Deckers Florist, which provided gor-
geous ower arrangements.
I cant express how much I appreciate
all that each and every one of you has
done for me!

OTHER OPINION: AGENCY NAME CHANGE
Welfare sends
wrong message
A
s much as people pre-
tend otherwise, names
matter. If William
Shakespeares rose
by any other name would smell
as sweet were altogether true,
corporations would not spend
small fortunes on consultants to
pick just the right name for their
products to maximize sales.
Which brings us to
Pennsylvanias Depart-
ment of Public Welfare.
A campaign is under-
way to consign the old
name to the trash heap
of history, as has been
done in most states.
Only Pennsylvania and
Idaho retain the word
welfare in the state
agency that adminis-
ters it. Elsewhere the
agencies changed their
names decades ago.
Pennsylvania should follow
suit. The United Way of Al-
legheny County, the Pittsburgh
Foundation and other prominent
nonprots are championing the
effort, which has found support
in Harrisburg, where bills have
been introduced to change the
name to the Department of Hu-
man Services. Five former gov-
ernors George Leader, Dick
Thornburgh, Tom Ridge, Mark
Schweiker and Ed Rendell
support the change.
Certainly, the word welfare
has been demagogued to such
an extent that deserving people
down on their luck are stigma-
tized if they apply for the ben-
et. But the best ar-
gument for renaming
the agency the Depart-
ment of Human Ser-
vices is that the word
welfare doesnt come
close to reecting the
departments mission.
A declining number of
the agencys clients re-
ceive cash assistance.
DPW provides ser-
vices for children such
as adoption and foster
care. It gives aid for dis-
abled Pennsylvanians,
medical assistance and care for
the elderly. It also regulates fa-
cilities such as child care centers
and personal care homes.
Once again Pennsylvania
nds itself behind the times
and thats a shame. Whats in a
name? Plenty.

Obama revives
American ideal
P
resident Barack Obamas
proposed $3.8 trillion
budget is out, and both
liberals and conserva-
tives are screaming. In a way,
thats the point.
The key concept for the presi-
dent is a simple one: shared sac-
rice. He asks Republicans to
accept tax increases and public
investment, and Democrats to
accept trims in entitlements.
Sequester cuts require $1.2
trillion in automatic govern-
ment-wide spending reductions
over the next decade. The presi-
dents budget would replace the
sequester with a larger $1.8 tril-
lion reduction in targeted spend-
ing cuts.
It also would raise $580 billion
in new revenue, which would be
used for such things as road and
bridge repair, new schools and
other education investments.
Much of the revenue would
come from raising taxes on to-
bacco users and capping the
amount of money that wealthy
Americans can invest in tax-pro-
tected retirement accounts.
On entitlements, Mr. Obama
proposes that cost-of-living So-
cial Security increases will no
longer be based on the Consum-
er Price Index, but something
called the chained CPI. This
index takes into account the
ways consumers make economic
choices. Benet increases based
on the chained CPI are a little
smaller than ones based on the
traditional CPI.
So the savings in Social Se-
curity come not from a cut
in benets, as it is so often de-
scribed. It comes from smaller
raises. Yet liberals are angry.
Many Democrats feel that any
compromise of entitlements is
a betrayal of their constituency.
With some justication, they
say the president gave up far
more in last years budget nego-
tiations than Republicans did,
and still got left at the altar. But
Mr. Obama knows he gets no
deal without asking his team to
take a hit.
Republicans are unhappy be-
cause the presidents budget
calls for tax increases, and that
is the GOP third rail. Any form
of tax increase is verboten.
To his credit, the president is
trying to get the budget debate
back to shared sacrice. He says
government can do two smart
things at once: reduce the na-
tional debt and stimulate the
economy with modest public
works spending. If Congress
stays in uncompromising parti-
san mode, each party will insist
that the nation can do one of
these things, but the paralysis
will ensure it does neither.

qUOTE OF THE DAY
Liberal ideology allows for media silence on abortion trial
THE NATIONAL news media seems to
cover every detail of seemingly inane
events. We are bathed in coverage of the
latest regarding Kim Kardashians preg-
nancy, or Tiger Woods latest romance.
Its a lead story in the national press when
a Republican senators campaign staff is
caught saying insensitive things about a
potential political opponent on an illegal
recording. But at the same time, the press
is unwilling to cover apparently monstrous
crimes that have taken place in our midst.
We need to be asking why.
In Philadelphia right now theres a trial
underway involving gross misconduct of
a physician (always good fodder for the
news media). There are lurid details of
dead bodies stored in rooms, dismem-
bered corpses kept as trophies, underage
untrained people performing gruesome
medical procedures. The details are so
graphic and so startling, that properly
exploited, they would surely grow huge
ratings in media outlets such as Court TV.
But short of very select media coverage,
there is an almost total press blackout of
this story. The reason: the medical proce-
dure this trial involves is abortion and the
victims are babies.
Kermit Gosnell is a physician who ran
a clinic called the Womans Medical
Center in West Philadelphia. Apparently
a major service there was performing
abortions by the thousands each year. Dr.
Gosnell, allegedly, would play fast and
loose, with the gestational age of the fe-
tuses he was paid to dispose of, allowing a
woman the option of a later-term abortion
than might actually be illegal.
When inconveniently, such an infant
would have the temerity to be born alive,
Dr. Gosnell according to testimony, had a
solution. He would take a set of sharp scis-
sors, open them, stab the points into the
back of the babys neck, and then snip
the babys spinal cord, killing it. Included
in testimony, are very graphic descriptions
of a babys typical reaction to this.
Workers at the clinic have described
conditions as raining fetuses. The clinic
has been described as lthy, with blood
spatters on the wall. There has been testi-
mony from underage workers, and workers
with no formal training, who performed
the ultrasounds used to determine the
fetal age. After all No point in being too
accurate about that sort of thing.
Apparently Dr. Gosnell was happy in his
work. He cheerfully described one particu-
lar late-term fetus that he dispatched as
being big enough to walk me to the bus
stop. He allegedly kept body parts of his
victims in jars.
And from the press: The sound of crick-
ets, chirping.
At some sadistically twisted level, it is
possible to feel a degree of sympathy for
Dr. Gosnell. After all, he was just trying to
give good and complete value for the fees
he charged. His clients had one request,
that their pregnancy be terminated, and
that no living baby would survive. And re-
member, he practices in a litigious society,
where patient actually sue her abortionist
when she ends up with a live healthy baby
rather than a jar full of parts.
Whats the difference whether the vivi-
section occurred in the vaginal canal or on
the operating table a few minutes later?
Quite honestly, in a society that permits
the slaughter of innocents, such nuances
should be inconsequential. Hey, our own
president has supported legislation in Illi-
nois, that would have allowed fetuses born
alive, to expire without medical care.
Ann Coulter has written that abortion
is the sacrament of liberalism. On a
rst read, I thought she was just being
provocative. Watching the news media
boycott this trial, an event that, given its
sensationalism could be a huge driver for
network ratings and prots, is chilling.
Clearly burying the details of this grue-
some court proceeding, which could cause
harm to the institution of abortion, trumps
all other concerns.
To liberals in the press, or put another
way, to the entire media complex, this
case is radioactive. It threatens to demon-
strate that we can truly not rationalize the
moral choices weve made -- the devils
bargain that we have struck, to permit le-
galized abortion. The arbitrary age limits,
and the limits we place on the procedure,
and particularly when and where the kill-
ing may occur, are indefensible morally,
and logically. Dr Gosnells true crime was
to violate the self-righteous boundaries we
have placed on this brutality, so we may
delude ourselves that we remain a moral
society.
If he is guilty of the crimes for which
he is charged, Kermit Gosnell is indeed a
monster. But that barbarity in part, would
extend from actions defended as a corner-
stone of liberal ideology. He allegedly just
took it to the next logical step.
Thats why they dont want us to know
about him.

Americans remain resilient
WASHINGTON A Vir-
ginia woman makes a point to
get out and go jogging. A Texas
mom stays in and snuggles her
toddler a little closer. A nurse
from Massachusetts looks over
her shoulder more often while
touring Washington, D.C.
Strains of deance, tender-
ness and wariness are interwo-
ven as Americans are forced to
do some post-9-11 rebalancing
in the aftermath of the Boston
bombings, guring out how to
move forward with life while
remaining vigilant against the
threat of terrorism.
The discovery of tainted let-
ters sent to the Capitol and the
White House only added a new
source of jitters to the weeks
events, evoking eerie parallels
to the anthrax attacks that fol-
lowed the life-altering events
of Sept. 11, 2001.
For Simone Rinaldi, play-
ing tourist in Washington this
week with her family, the twin
bombings at the marathon
quickly revived thoughts of the
collapse of the Twin Towers
in New York as she wondered
anew if there would be other
attacks and whether loved ones
in Boston were safe.
Ive denitely been more
cautious as we walk around,
said Rinaldi, a nurse practitio-
ner from Cape Cod, Mass.
Cautious, yes. But not
cowed.
The world is a really scary
place, yet we have a life to
live, she said from a park
across Pennsylvania Avenue
from the White House. The
challenge is to take precau-
tions, but again to not let our
lives get small and live in fear.
Similar sentiment echoed
around the country from a
Starbucks table in Los Angeles
to a smokers bench in Billings,
Mont. as people grappled
with the balancing act involved
in putting the weeks events in
perspective.
Caution is always impor-
tant, but so is life, said MacK-
enzie Edwins, a receptionist
catching lunch at the Starbucks
in LA.
Jennifer Miller, a hospitality
industry manager smoking a
cigarette on that bench in Mon-
tana, said the marathon bomb-
ing made her think this: Its at
home in America. It happened
here. But also this: I refuse to
live in fear of going anywhere
or doing anything.
Such perspective is
precisely what terror-
ists try to destroy, by
provoking reactions
far out of proportion
to actual danger.
Horric as the
bombing was three
people died in Bos-
ton, with more than
170 injured ve
people die in car,
truck or motorcycle
accidents every hour
in the United States.
Terrorism pushes our fear
buttons, says security expert
Bruce Schneier, and we have
an outsized response.
Psychologically, we are
primed to overreact, he says.
And that can cause people to
surrender civil liberties with-
out full deliberation in pursuit
of safety and stronger law en-
forcement, as happened after
9-11, Schneier warns: The fear
is that this is an excuse to put
us into a police state.
Around the country, people
wondered whether the bomb-
ing would and should af-
fect security restrictions.
Security might increase for
a time, but the sad thing is it
always goes back to normal,
said Lynn Chamberlain, a train-
ing coordinator at Johns Hop-
kins Medicine in Baltimore.
Now were going to have to
raise up not only our national
security but our local security,
said Zeke Reardon, a Denver
electrician.
Terrorism peaked as a public
concern only one month after
the 9/11 attacks. In October
2001, Gallup found that 46
percent of Americans called
terrorism the most important
problem facing the country, up
from less than 1 percent in the
days before the attack.
It has not reached that level
of importance since, and in
surveys this year, it once again
stood at less than 1 percent.
But while it might not be
Issue No. 1, security none-
theless remains a priority for
most Americans. In a January
2013 poll by the Pew
Research Center, 71
percent said defend-
ing against terrorism
should be a top prior-
ity for the president
and Congress, down

In Seattle, accoun-
tant John Calhoun
laments that young
people might be de-
sensitized to the
threat of terrorism in
the post-9-11 environ-
ment. He was troubled that
his children, ages 13 and 21,
werent more upset as they
watched news about the mara-
thon bombing unfold on TV.
Its a different world than
we used to think we lived in,
Calhoun said, wearing a half-
marathon shirt froma past race
as he ran stairs at the Seattle
Art Museums Olympic Sculp-
ture Park on a sunny Tuesday
afternoon.
Runners, in particular,
seemed to push back against
the notion that the marathon
bombing could intimidate
Americans.
Spontaneous running events
popped up around the country,
and social media was lled
with posts from those pulling
on their sneakers to send a
message.
I am going running today as
a small sign of support for Bos-
ton and to show those respon-
sible for the tragic events that
we are stronger than they are,
Ironman CEOAndrewMessick
said in an email to athletes.

I refuse to
live in fear
of going
anywhere
or doing
anything.

Hospitality indus-
try manager
I think that this will go down in
U.S. history as the most video-
taped bombing in history, said
Tom Thurman, who formerly
headed the FBIs Bomb Data
Center and helped investigate
the 1988 bombing of Pan Am
Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scot-
land, and the 1993 bombing of
the World Trade Center.
President Barack Obama was
scheduled to speak today at an
interfaith service in Boston for
the victims, 59 of whom are still
hospitalized, with 10 in criti-
cal condition. The third victim
killed has been identied as Lu
Lingzi, 23, a Chinese national
who was a Boston University
graduate student in statistics.
Boston Mayor Thomas Me-
nino and Massachusetts Gov.
Deval Patrick announced that at-
torney Kenneth Feinberg would
administer One Fund Boston, a
fund set up to aid those affected
by the attacks. Feinberg oversaw
similar funds for victims of the
Sept. 11 attacks and the 2010 BP
oil spill.
The disclosures about the pho-
tos emerged on a dizzying day
of conicting reports in which
a number of news agencies ini-
tially reported that a suspect had
been identied and arrested, and
was supposedly scheduled for a
court appearance.
Hundreds of reporters and
spectators gathered outside the
Joseph Moakley federal court-
house near Bostons Seaport
district, which was briey evacu-
ated for a bomb threat, even as
the FBI and the Boston Police
Department denied anyone had
been taken into custody.
Federal ofcials cautioned
that the full work of building a
case could take time. Law en-
forcement ofcers now have ac-
cess to sophisticated software
tools that can use algorithms to
search video for specic patterns
colors of clothing, movement
or objects, analysts say. The fed-
eral Department of Homeland
Security has invested heavily in
facial recognition software. But
it can be tedious work.
The question that is most
often asked is, is there a button
we can push to make this happen
as quickly as the general public
thinks we can, from watching
television and movies, said
Larry Compton, operations man-
ager at Forensic Video Solutions
Inc., a rm that serves as a con-
sultant to law enforcement.
The answer is no. These
tools and techniques are really
designed to focus the analysts,
he said.
The department store video
can be compared with images
gleaned from more than 10 tril-
lion bytes of data gathered from
other sources, including gas sta-
tions and ATM and trafc cam-
eras to see where a person of
interest might have been before
and after the attack, said one
retired federal agent, who spoke
on condition of anonymity be-
cause he may become involved
in the case. If youre lucky, you
see the person getting into a car,
and maybe you can pull a license
plate, he said.
But security videos are typi-
cally low-resolution and dont of-
fer a lot of visual detail, experts
say, which helps explain why
authorities have appealed to the
public for photos and cellphone
videos images with much
higher resolution.
Then you can really blow it
up and zoom on in, said Lance
McVickar, president of Lawdio
Inc. of Fairmount, N.Y., who has
also served as a video consultant
in federal investigations. And a
lot of them do time-stamping.
You nd a picture with a bag not
there and then a picture with a
bag there and then a photo of
a person dropping the bag.
Already, there has been wide-
spread public attention to a pho-
to provided by a viewer to Bos-
ton TV station WHDH showing
two bundles inside the security
barrier next to a trash can
with a subsequent photo show-
ing the immediate aftermath of
an explosion at the same loca-
tion.
Forensic investigators in white
protective suits and agents
leading sniffer dogs continued
Wednesday to collect evidence
from the blast sites inside a
well-guarded police cordon near
Bostons Copley Square. Agents
from the FBI, the Bureau of Al-
cohol, Tobacco, Firearms and
Explosives and other agencies
moved back and forth from the
crime scene along Exeter Street,
a narrow artery leading from the
marathon route down Boylston
Street, which was lined with
mobile labs and bomb-disposal
trucks.
DNA could be found on a
detonator or circuit board; wires
could be linked to wire cutters
found in a suspects home; serial
numbers could help trace a pur-
chase point for materials.

BOSTON
DALLAS, Texas A massive
explosion at a fertilizer plant
rocked the town of West, north of
Waco, causing multiple injuries
and leaving people trapped and
buildings on re.
Several reghters were re-
ported among those injured
during the explosion, which oc-
curred before 8 p.m. at West Fer-
tilizer Inc., just
off Interstate
35 about 80
miles south of
Dallas.
Authorities
were asking
residents of
the town to
evacuate, and
there were re-
ports of doz-
ens of people
injured, in-
cluding resi-
dents of a nearby
nursing home.
The fertilizer plant down here
exploded, Jason Shelton, a clerk
at the Czech Best Western Ho-
tel in West, said. It was a small
re and then water got sprayed
on the ammonia nitrate, and it
exploded just like the Oklahoma
City bomb.
I live about a thousand feet
from it and it blew my screen
door off and my back windows,
Shelton said. Theres houses lev-
eled that were right next to it.
Weve got people injured and pos-
sibly dead.
About 10 buildings were re-
ported to be on re, including
West Middle School and a nearby
nursing home. A dispatcher call-
ing for multiple ambulances said,
We do have a lot of injured here.
Department of Public Safety
troopers were taking some vic-
tims to hospitals in Waco, which
is about 20 miles south of West.
West ISD trustee Crystal An-
thony said she and her daughter
were knocked back by the blast
as they stood blocks away from
the plant.
Anearby nursing home is really
bad; theres an apartment complex
and (West Middle School) that
caught re, she told The Waco
Tribune-Herald. Weve been mov-
ing patients out of the nursing
home and taking them to the foot-
ball eld and gymnastics building.
People as far away as 50 miles
away reported feeling what
seemed like an earthquake.
West reghters had gone to
the plant earlier in the evening
after a re rekindled, according
to KWTX-TV.

As the Peoria Rivermen
dropped further out of the West-
ern Conference playoff race, Der-
ek Nesbitt and his teammates
began to plan for a long summer.
It was going to be the second
time in the last three years that
Peoria failed to go to the post-
season, and it was a feeling that
Nesbitt was reluctantly getting
used to.
The writ-
ing was on the
wall, he said.
That writ-
ing quickly
changed on
April 10 when
Nesbitt was
dealt to the Wilkes-Barre/Scran-
ton Penguins. All of a sudden
Nesbitt went from planning for a
long summer to preparing for a
playoff run with a new team.
And he has only a few weeks
to do it.
Not that Nesbitt is complain-
ing.
In fact, hes thankful that Peo-
ria GM Kevin McDonald sent
him to a team where another
postseason chance is a lock.
For Kevin to send me to a
teamlike this, to make a nice run
with them, I appreciate it a lot,
Nesbitt said after Wednesdays
practice at Coal Street - his first
with the Penguins.
Practice is where Nesbitt, 31,
will have to get used to his new
teammates before the playoffs
begin. He will only play in one of
two games this weekend in order
to avoid making him a veteran
for next season.
Still, Nesbitt isnt concerned
with the quick turnaround be-
fore playoffs. While hell use the
single game to get a feel for the
Penguins style of game, practice
is where Nesbitt hopes to make
the biggest strides.
Today was a good practice -
hard working and intense. Thats
a good thing going into the play-
offs, he said. It will be two
weeks since I played, so it will
be nice to get a game in to before
playoffs.

season to go along with 22 the

Trade from Peoria will give

BOSTON MARATHON BOMBI NGS
An emotional return of sports
AP PHOTO
Boston Bruins hockey starters, including defenseman Dennis Seidenberg (44), stand next to a ribbon projected onto the ice at
TD Garden in Boston on Wednesday during a pregame ceremony in the aftermath of Mondays Boston Marathon bombings.
BOSTON Emerging from
a moment of silence with a deaf-
ening cheer, fans at Wednes-
day nights Bruins game paid
tribute to the victims of this
weeks Boston Marathon bomb-
ing with a stirring national an-
themand a thunderous chant of
U.S.A.!
The sold-out crowd at the
first major sporting event in the
city since Mondays attack lined
up for metal-detecting wands
and random car inspections to
get into the TD Garden. Once
inside, they watched a somber
video with scenes fromthe race,
ending with the words, We are
Boston, We are Strong.
The players on the ice for the
opening faceoff banged their
sticks in the traditional hockey
salute, drifting back off the blue
lines so that they, too, could see
the video. The Boston Fire De-
partment Honor Guard brought
out the U.S. flag to honor the
first responders who rushed to
the aid of the three killed and
more than 170 injured by the
twin bombs at the marathon
finish line.
Longtime Boston Garden
troubadour Rene Rancourt took
his place for the Star-Spangled
Banner. But he sang only the
first few lines, allowing the
crowd to carry the tune while
he pumped his fist to keep time.
It was an emotional return to
normal life for the city, which
has been dazed by the attacks
on one of its signature and
most beloved events. Mondays
scheduled Bruins game against
Ottawa was rescheduled, and
Tuesday nights Celtics game
was canceled outright.
But the Bruins said they were
determined to help the city
move on.
Youre trying to live your
life in peace, and theres people
trying to disrupt that, coach
Claude Julien said after the
teams morning skate. The
people trying to live their life
in peace are going to stick to-
gether.
Players on both teams wore
Boston Strong decals on their
helmets, and the Garden was
illuminated in blue and yellow,
the colors of the Boston Athlet-
ic Association.
Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs
pledged $100,000 to The One
Fund Boston, the charity estab-
lished to help families affected
by the bombing; the Garden,
the NHL and the players asso-
ciation pledged $50,000 each.
Ads on the dasher boards and
the video screens gave the web-
site address for the fund.

LEHMAN TWP. The be-
ginning and end were fine for
unbeaten Hazleton Area on
Wednesday. The middle was pre-
carious.
The Cougars, though, were
able to overcome a Lake-Lehm-
an rally with one of their own to
post a 15-8 victory in a Wyoming
Valley Conference softball inter-
divisional game.
H a z l e t o n
Area (6-0 Div.
1) scored at
least two runs
in innings four
through seven.
That helped the
Cougars overcome a 7-6 deficit
created by a five-run third inning
by Lehman (0-4 Div. 2). Vickey
Cadwalader had the key hit in
the inning for the Black Knights,
a massive three-run homer to
dead center field.
But while Lehman landed
some big punches early in-
cluding a two-run homer by
Sarah Stacey in the first Ha-
zleton Area kept connecting on
jabs late. Maria Trivelpiece hit a
one-out triple, her first of two, in
the fourth. She scored on Mack-
enzie Yoris single. Yori made it
to third on the hit due to an error
and scored on a fielders choice.
Just like that, a 7-6 Lehman
lead turned into an 8-7 Hazleton
Area advantage. The Cougars
built gradually on the lead, get-
ting RBI singles from Samantha
Varela and Lexi Wolk and an RBI
double from Wolk along the way.
If we were boxers, wed
win rounds. We just dont win
games, said Lehman coach
Wayne Oplinger, whose team
was coming off an 11-inning loss

RED WINGS
The Times Leader staff
ROCHESTER, N.Y. The
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRid-
ers seem to have found their of-
fense.
After struggling at the plate
and scoring just 18 runs in the
first seven
games of the
season, Scran-
t on/Wi l ke s -
Barre has now
scored 30 dur-
ing a current
four-game win-
ning streak.
That now in-
cludes a 7-0 win
over Rochester
on Wednes-
day at Frontier
Field.
The RailRid-
ers have also
won five of
their last seven
since a season-opening sweep at
the hands of Pawtucket to im-
prove to 5-6 on the season.
They also picked up their first
series win of the season and
their first road series win since
defeating Rochester last August.
The Red Wings fell to an Inter-
national League-worst 2-11 with
their seventh straight loss. SWB
can get to .500 for the first time
during the 2013 campaign with a
win and series sweep over Roch-
ester tonight.
On Wednesday, the RailRiders
not only hit the cover off the ball,
they also got strong pitching.
Right-handed starter Graham
Stoneburner notched his first
Triple-A victory tossing four-hit
ball over six innings. He didnt
walk any and struck out two as
he retired the last seven batters
he faced.
Sam Demel and Juan Cedeno
finished off the teams second
straight shutout as SWB pitchers

Theres an adage among coaches that
divers are Gods gift to swim teams.
Compared to their swimming counter-
parts, divers are very introverted creatures.
During meets, divers are typically found
in the corner of the natatorium, mentally
preparing themselves for the brief number
seconds spent flying, twisting and turning
in the air before dipping into the water. If
anything, the hushed diving championships
are a far cry from singing, dancing and
general theatrics that happen a week later
at the swimming championships.
It was one Holy Redeemer girls diver
who made the most noise during this years
swimming and diving season.
The Times Leader selects Holy Re-
deemer senior Kelsey Williams as its Girls
Swimming and Diving Athlete of the Year.
Williams came out of obscurity to win the
Class 2A district championship and receive
a silver medal at the PIAA championships
in March.
I think little by little I began to realize
what I was accomplishing, Williams said.
It didnt really hit me there at states. It
wasnt all at once.
Williams wasnt on the radar for the areas
top aquatics athlete entering this season.
She placed fourth at districts as a junior.
She pulverized the competition at districts
with a 415.8 score 97.55 points higher
than the second-place finisher. At PIAAs,
Williams embraced the underdog mental-
ity, earning second in the state with 399.35
mark.
She was pretty much an unknown, and
all of a sudden she rises to the occasion,
Royals coach Mara Pawlenok said. States
were unbelievable. She had a great warm-
up. Her diving coach gave her such a talk.
He said, Whatever happens, lets take it
dive for dive. After the first few dives, we
knew she was on to something special.
It was a change of diving coaches that
changed the course for Williams. Without a
diving coach two months before the season,
Pawlenok reached out to Wyoming Val-
ley Wests Rob Jacobs to coach the Royals
divers. Jacobs, who retired this March from
coaching, accepted the offer. Williams was
able to compete in practice against the
Spartans Karina Zabresky and evolved into
the states second-best diver.
I give all the credit to her diving coach
Rob Jacobs, Pawlenok said. She was
always a good diver. She just needed some
good coaching and confidence. He was in-
spiring tough on her in the right amount.
He really knows how a diver thinks,
Williams said. Hes been coaching for a
really long time. All the psychology behind
the sport, he understands. Diving is 75
percent mental.
Williams transformation enabled her to
aspire to swim collegiately. She says she is
99 percent sure she is attending the Uni-
versity of Pittsburgh next year as a walk-on.
She will major in engineering.
Diving is a specialty sport, Pawlenok
said. What Kelsey did takes courage and
commitment. Even now after she took sec-
ond at states, it still gives me the sugars.
BILL TARUTIS/FOR THE TIMES LEADER
Holy Redeemers Kelsey Williams took the WVc and the state by storm, wrapping up her senior season for the Royals with a
Piaa silver medal in the dive.

Penguins rough up Canadiens; Bruins fall to Sabres in return
PITTSBURGH Brenden
Morrow scored two goals for
the second straight game and
the Pittsburgh Penguins beat
the Montreal Canadiens 6-4 on
Wednesday night to move closer
to clinching the top seed in the
Eastern Conference playoffs.
Brandon Sutter added two
goals for Pittsburgh, and newly
acquired Jarome Iginla and
Doug Murray also scored for the
Penguins, who had little trouble
with the Canadiens despite play-
ing without injured stars Sidney
Crosby and Evgeni Malkin.
Marc-Andre Fleury stopped
31 shots and Pittsburgh domi-
nated in racing to a quick 4-0
lead.
Brian Gionta, Alex Gal-
chenyuk, Gabriel Dumont and
Andrei Markov scored for the
reeling Canadiens, who have
lost three straight. Peter Budaj
started in goal but was pulled
after stopping just six of the
nine shots he faced in the first
period.
Carey Price relieved and al-
lowed three goals on 20 shots,
absorbing the loss.
The Penguins lead the Cana-
diens by nine points in the fight
for the top seed. Both teams
have five games remaining.
Crosby missed his seventh
straight game because of a bro-
ken jaw, and Malkin sat while
nursing a lingering shoulder
injury. Their absences have
allowed the aggressive moves
made by Pittsburgh general
manager Ray Shero the last 12
months to shine through.
Morrow, Iginla and Murray
arrived in trades just before last
months deadline, and Sutter
came to Pittsburgh in a stun-
ning swap last June that sent
popular center Jordan Staal to
Carolina.
Sutter has settled in just fine
anchoring the third line, and he
is quickly developing chemistry
with a suddenly resurgent Mor-
row. The veteran forward failed
to score in his first six games
with the Penguins but he has
five goals in eight days.
The Canadiens intended to
give Price, their No. 1 goalie,
the night off to recover after
he allowed 12 total goals in
blowout losses to Toronto and
Philadelphia.
Sabres 3, Bruins 2
BOSTON Drew Stafford
scored the only shootout goal
after Buffalo tied the game in
the final minute of regulation,
and the Sabres beat the Bruins
in the first pro game in Boston
since the marathon bombings.
The Sabres forced overtime
with 26.6 seconds left when
Cody Hodgson scored his 14th
goal of the season, tipping in
Thomas Vaneks pass into the
slot during a power play.
Boston still clinched a playoff
berth by gaining one point. The
Bruins are tied in points with
Montreal atop the Northeast
Division, but have one game in
hand on the Canadiens. Both
teams trail Eastern Conference-
leading Pittsburgh by nine
points.
There was heightened
security at TD Garden where
cars entering the garage were
searched, and fans were checked
with wands and patted down.
The Associated Press
NEW YORK Travis Hafner
had a pinch-hit homer in the
eighth inning to make a win-
ner of CC Sabathia, who settled
down after a shaky start and
helped the New York Yankees
beat the Arizona Diamond-
backs.
Brett Gardner had a tying,
two-run single in the seventh for
New York, which broke through
after being stymied by Wade Mi-
ley for six innings.
Sabathia (3-1) gave up an
opposite-field, two-run homer
to Paul Goldschmidt in the first
one of three hits in the open-
ing inning then only three
more hits and a sacrifice fly to
A.J. Pollock through the eighth.
Hafner batted for Ben Francis-
co with two outs in the eighth.
He sent the first pitch he saw
from reliever David Hernandez
(0-1) into the stands in right-
center for his fourth home run.
Red Sox 6, Indians 3
CLEVELAND Converted
closer Alfredo Aceves coasted
through five innings, Mike Na-
poli and Daniel Nava drove in
two runs apiece and the Red
Sox, bonded by the tragedy in
Boston, struck quickly against
Justin Masterson and beat the
Cleveland Indians for their fifth
straight win.
Aceves (1-0), who began the
season in Bostons bullpen, took
a shutout into the sixth before
giving up three runs. Andrew
Bailey, filling for injured closer
Joel Hanrahan, worked the
ninth for his first save.
Rays 6, Orioles 2
BALTIMORE Kelly John-
son and Shelley Duncan hom-
ered, James Loney had three
RBIs and the Tampa Bay Rays
beat the Baltimore Orioles to
snap a four-game skid.
Matt Moore (3-0) gave up
two runs and five hits in 6 2-3
innings. Although his streak of
scoreless starts ended at two,
the left-hander has accounted
for three of the Rays five wins
this season.
Athletics 7, Astros 5
OAKLAND, Calif. Bartolo
Colon pitched six crisp innings,
Josh Reddick doubled in two
runs during a six-run first and
the Oakland Athletics beat the
Houston Astros to complete an-
other three-game sweep.
White Sox 7, Blue Jays 0
TORONTO Tyler Flowers
hit a three-run homer and Jose
Quintana pitched 6 2-3 innings
to lead the Chicago White Sox
to a victory over the Toronto
Blue Jays.
Alex Rios also homered to
back Quintana (1-0).
CINCINNATI Jay Bruces
pair of bases-loaded singles led
the Cincinnati Reds to a couple
of wins on Wednesday, 1-0 over
the Philadelphia Phillies in the
conclusion of a suspended game
and 11-2 in the later one.
The Reds completed their
first sweep of the Phillies since
1996.
First, they finished their game
suspended overnight by rain.
Phillippe Aumont (1-2) picked
the game up in the bottomof the
ninth and gave up Bruces bases-
loaded single only four batters
later.
Bruces other bases-loaded
single also to right field
highlighted a five-run second in-
ning off left-hander John Lannan
(0-1) in the regularly scheduled
game. Reds starter Mike Leake
(1-2) drove in a run with his first
career triple during the decisive
10-batter rally and finished with
three hits.
Royals 1, Braves 0
ATLANTA Wade Davis
pitched five-hit ball for seven
innings, Jeff Francoeur had a
fourth-inning RBI single, and
the Kansas City Royals stopped
Atlantas 10-game winning
streak.
The Braves were seeking
their first 13-1 start since 1994,
but the powerful Atlanta offense
which homered five times off
the Royals the previous night
finally was stifled.
Pirates 5, Cardinals 0
PITTSBURGH A.J. Bur-
nett took a no-hitter into the
seventh inning nearly 12 years
after throwing the only one of
his career, pitching the Pitts-
burgh Pirates to a victory over
the St. Louis Cardinals.
Burnett (1-2) lost his bid with
two outs in the seventh on Car-
los Beltrans double to right-cen-
ter. That was the lone hit given
up by the 36-year-old right-hand-
er in seven dominant innings.
The only other runner he al-
lowed came when he hit Daniel
Descalso with a 2-2 pitch with
one out in the sixth to end his
shot at a perfect game. Burnett
struck out eight to raise his sea-
son total to 35 in 24 innings.

year before, gives the Penguins
another sniper to add to the
lineup.
Head coach John Hynes expects
himto skate on the left side with
Jayson Megna and Brian Gib-
bons, and judging by his perfor-
mance at Wednesdays practice,
Nesbitt is on track to be ready
for the playoffs.
We gave him a couple of
things to look at yesterday and
he came back today and knewall
the answers, Hynes said. He
was on in every drill and with all
the practice time hell be fine.
Its different in the sense that
hes an experienced vet.
That experience is what Nes-
bitt said will not only allow him
to adjust to his new team, but
prepare mentally for the grind
of the playoffs. He said the Pen-
guins system isnt something
that hes never seen before.
Its not a new language. Its
pretty much the same a lot of
places you go, Nesbitt said.
But its enforced here, very
strict, and thats why theyre
winning so many games.
As far as prior knowledge
about Wilkes-Barre, Nesbitt said
he played here just once during
his six seasons in the AHL. He
did play with Chad Kolarik and
Dylan Reese in San Antonio five
years ago, but thats where the
familiarity ends.
But Nesbitt is fully aware
that the playoffs can do a lot to
strengthen new bonds quickly.
Its a mindset. Your seasons
over, but you have to get ready
for the second season because it
comes quick and it goes quick,
he said. It doesnt take long to
adjust.
NOTES
Hynes credited past and
present Penguin players for the
teams consecutive playoff streak
of 11 years. The most important
thing is it cant be done without
quality players. Thats one thing
that makes Wilkes-Barre a spe-
cial place to coach, he said. Its
a tribute to the guys this year
and every captain and leadership
group thats been here over the
last 11 years.
Hynes admitted he was sur-
prised that goaltender Jeff Zat-
koff wasnt chosen for either the
first or second AHL all-star team.
Zatkoff leads the league with
a 1.91 goals against average, is
fourth with 26 wins and tied for
third with five shutouts. To have
the numbers and do what hes
done is certainly worthy of an all-
star consideration, Hynes said.
Hes been very sound.
The Penguins signed for-
wards Mattia Marcantuoni and
Anton Zlobin to amateur tryout
agreements on Wednesday.
Marcantuoni, 19, recently
completed his third season with
the Ontario Hockey Leagues
Kitchener Rangers, recording
seven goals, 18 assists and 34
penalty minutes in 64 games. He
also notched a goal and an assist
in 10 postseason contests.
The Toronto, Ontario-native
was selected by the Pittsburgh
Penguins in the fourth round
(92nd overall) of the 2012 NHL
Entry Draft. In his three seasons
with Kitchener, Marcantuoni
has totaled 66 points (27G-39A)
and 70 PIM over 130 games.

to Dallas. If we were in boxing,
we might have a few champion-
ship belts. Weve got to start
winning innings.
Oddly, Lehmans best success
came against Hazleton Area
starter Becky Demko, who is
considered one of the WVCs
top pitchers. Demko had al-
lowed just five runs (three
earned) in her previous 29 1/3
innings. Lehman tagged her for
seven (three earned) before she
departed in the third.
Becky is a little under the
weather and we didnt play the
best behind her, Hazleton Area
coach Vince Trivelpiece said. I
used to pitch 50 games a sum-
mer and there would be two
or three nights where Id get
the heck beat out of me. I dont
know why.
Nor could Lehman figure
why the bats abruptly went si-
lent against Varela, who pitched
the final 4 1/3 innings. The
Black Knights had some mild
threats, but scored only once
on Sara Schulers single in the
fifth. Schuler finished 3-for-3
with a walk. Stacey was 3-for-4.
Oplinger took an optimistic
view of the outcome.
Im glad they came back, said
Oplinger, whose team fell be-
hind 5-0 before coming to bat.
Theyre resilient, they never
get down.

Big first inning lifts
Mohawks to victory
The Times Leader staff
WILKES-BARRE Meyers
got the best of a hectic, nine-
run first inning as the Mo-
hawks slugged past Northwest
10-5 in a WVC Division 3 game
on Wednesday at Gibby Field.
Northwest had opened the
game with a 3-0 lead only to
see the Mohawks (3-2) fire
back with six runs in the home
half of the first.
Eight of nine Mohawks in
the lineup recorded a hit, led
by C.J. Szafran, who went 3-for-
3 with an RBI.
Zac White had a big day for
the Rangers (2-4), hitting three
doubles and driving in three
runs.

extended its consecutive score-
less inning streaks to 20. Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre also picked
up back-to-back shutouts in
nine inning games for the first
time since April 20-21, 2011, at
Lehigh Valley.
On offense, the RailRiders
banged out 11 hits led by a
3-for-4 performance by David
Adams. Melky Mesa and Thom-
as Neal each had two hits.
Backup catcher Bobby Wil-
son, who has played the last four
games for a banged up Austin Ro-
mine, was the teams biggest run-
producer slamming a two-run
home run in the top of the eighth
as part of a four-RBI game. It was
the second time this week Wilson
drove in four runs in a game, ac-
complishing the feat in Game 2
of a doubleheader against Buffalo
on Sunday.
The RailRiders scored a run
in each of the first three innings
to open a 3-0 lead. Zoilo Almon-
te doubled home a run in the
first and Wilson drove one in on
a fielders choice in the second.

every electronic board in the
stadium read signs of Welcome
PIAA District II.
I know when each and every-
one of these kids is participating in
this tournament on May 27 I know
for a fact they will never forget
this experience, Ruby said. And
to me thats more gratifying than
anything. Because I know it will
stick with them for their lifetime.
The district championship
games were once a staple at PNC
Field, being held there for more
than a decade prior to the New
York Yankees organization taking
over the Minor League Baseball
franchise.
In 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2012,
the games were held held at
smaller neutral sites. Last season
Wyoming Valley West won the 4A
title at Kings Colleges Betzler
Complex and Holy Redeemer
captured the 2A crown at Batta-
glia Field in Scranton.
Now, under new management,
an agreement was worked out
for the contests to return to PNC
Field.
This is a great experience for
our student-athletes andthats cer-
tainly not a slap to all the schools
who have been good to us, the
colleges over the years that have
allowed us to host finals, District
2 Chairperson Frank Majikes said.
But this is gorgeous, and I think
its just a great opportunity these
kids will never have again at a
venue thats offered here.
Our hats off to the Yankee or-
ganization and Mr. Crain and Mr.
Ruby for a great collaboration on
everybodys part.
The title games in all four clas-
sifications, A through 4A, will be
held in Moosic with the format
mimicking the same as the PIAA
Championship schedule with the
Class A game starting the action
at 10 a.m. The 2A game is slated
for 1 p.m. with 3A following at
4 p.m. and the Class 4A contest
closing out the action at 7 p.m.
In the event of inclement
weather on that day, doublehead-
ers will be held on May 28 and 29
at PNC Field.
Prior to the Yankees taking
over the organization, PNC Field
was once the place to be hosting
high school baseball and football
games, a few concerts and even
an ice skating rink. Those things
changed, but the new front office
members spearheaded by Crain,
Ruby and vice president of sta-
dium operations Curt Camoni
helped the high school announce-
ment and are trying to be a bigger
part of the community than the
past regime.
In February, the RailRiders also
announced that the NCAA Divi-
sion III Mid-Atlantic Regional
college baseball tournament will
be held at PNC Field and hosted
by Misericordia from May 14-19.
With the addition of high school
and college games to RailRid-
ers games, the stadium will host
nearly 100 events this year.
Im always open-minded and
were looking forward to be able
to do other events we havent
even thought about yet, Crain
said.
BASEBALL
Continued from Page 1B
first playoff game, with the
proceeds to go to the family of
8-year-old Martin Richards, who
was killed in the blast.
Im sure tonight will be full
of emotion, forward Chris Kelly
said Wednesday morning. If we
can go play hard to help the city
of Boston in any way we can, I
know everybody in this locker
room would be willing to do
that.
We love the city. We want to
help in any way we can if we
can give them 10 minutes of joy,
or 20 hours of joy anything
we can do.
That was already accom-
plished 5:45 into the first period,
when Daniel Pailles goal to give
the Bruins a 1-0 lead over the
Buffalo Sabres brought a rau-
cous chant of We are Boston!
During the first break, public
address announcer Jim Martin
asked any runners from Mon-
days race to stand up; many
were wearing their finishers
medals. He then asked for ap-
plause for anybody who has
ever run; by the time he recog-
nized anyone who has ever vol-
unteered or watched the race,
virtually the entire crowd was
standing.
Its a great day. Its a great day
for a lot of people, said Bruins
forward Jay Pandolfo, who went
to Boston University. Theres
no reason for this to happen.
You never thought something
like this could happen, especial-
ly in the city of Boston. Stuff like
this doesnt cross your mind.
Cars were searched inside
and out before entering the
arenas underground garage in
the morning, with guards using
a mirror on a pole to check the
undercarriage. Sports writers,
usually subject to only the most
cursory inspection, were waved
with a metal-detecting wand
when passing through security
for the Bruins morning skate.
It brings back memories you
dont want, said Pandolfo, who
was with the New Jersey Devils
during the attacks of Sept. 11,
2001. Its something you dont
want to think about. You want
to go ahead with your life. You
dont want to live in fear.
All of the Bruins players said
they feel safe at the arena and
walking around the city, com-
mending authorities for the add-
ed security since the bombing.
Any anxiety, Julien said, needs
to be directed toward the game.
Its a different feeling, but
youre battling with your inner
strength to not let it get the best
of you, he said. The best thing
we can do is to make things bet-
ter for the people of Boston.
Sports is a great way to pull
people together. Just going out
there making the city proud of
their team, and thats what were
going to do.

BUSINESS
SECTI ON B
IN BRIEF
Peebles sets grand opening
The grand opening of a Peebles
department store will take place this
morning at 8:30 near Tunkhannock.
The retailer will open in the former
Fashion Bug store location in the
Route 6 Tioga West Plaza.
Houston, Texas-based Peebles has
more than 800 stores throughout 40
states. Though there are no stores in
Luzerne County, the company oper-
ates several retail sites in this region
including in Carbondale, Daleville,
Brodheadsville and Coal Township.
This will be the rst location in Wyo-
ming County.
Amazon viewers call shots
Amazon is letting viewers help
choose its new lineup of TV shows,
scuttling a secretive, wasteful process
once reserved for Hollywood taste-
makers.
The online retailing giant will let
visitors from the United States, United
Kingdom and Germany watch, rate
and critique 14 pilot episodes the com-
pany has bankrolled.
Viewer comments will help the
company decide which shows if any
get the green light.
Amazons foray into TV production
is unique in the way it saves money.
Every spring, traditional TV networks
such as ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox order
dozens of pilots and show them to
focus groups. Executives pick only a
handful to make into series.
Then, they commission 13 episodes
of each promising show, with each
one potentially costing a few million
dollars. Many episodes wont ever air
if the rst few dont attract big audi-
ences.
Carnival invests in safety
Carnival Cruise Lines on Wednesday
announced a $300 million program to
add emergency generators, upgrade
re safety and improve engine rooms
on all 24 of its ships.
The announcement could help the
brand begin rebounding from a wave
of bad publicity that began in Febru-
ary, when an engine re knocked
out power on the Carnival Triumph.
Passengers endured lthy conditions
as the Triumph was towed to Mobile,
Ala., resurrecting stories of a similar
incident from 2010 aboard the Carnival
Splendor.
Cruise sellers say prices for Carnival
cruises have dropped as minor inci-
dents with other Carnival ships have
also made headlines.

IF yoUVE visited
youTube over the
last couple of days,
you may have no-
ticed a new button
gracing the lower
right corner of its
video player.
It was only there for a day or two,
and unless you visited youTubes
Google+ page or happened to notice it
while watching a video, you may have
missed it altogether.
No, it wasnt some experimental
new 3D, anamorphic, ultra-high-de-
nition function that only people with
cutting-edge hardware could use.
It wasnt a bug, a glitch, or a secret
feature that was unintentionally
revealed to the public.
It was VHS Mode.
In honor of the 57th anniversary of
the rst commercially available VCR,
youTube added a special feature to its
player that simulated the experience
of watching a VHS cassette tape.
It added occasional static lines and
playback artifacts to videos, and when
you paused the videos, the static got
worse just like in real life.
There were also occasional track-
ing blurs that all of us remember so
fondly.
of course, in 2013, people graduat-
ing from high school might never
have encountered a VCR, but for older
generations, who wouldnt want to re-
live the grainy, fuzzy, and occasionally
temperamental cassette-tape era?
oK, so it wasnt that bad but you
cant deny that never having to rewind
is not a bad thing.
And I doubt that many people have
had DVDs eaten by the player, as
VCRs used to be so fond of doing to
tapes.
Still, youTube went to a lot of effort
to mark a landmark day for an out-of-
date technology.
Inserting random distortion into
videos on the y is no mean trick, and
while I can think of at least a few ways
for them to do it fairly easily, its still
something that took some time and
effort on somebodys part.
But it got me thinking about old
VHS tapes that I had lying around.
I havent owned a VCR for years,
and almost any TV show or video of
note is now available on DVD or Blu-
ray. But for home videos, or anything
captured on tape, for that matter, the
clock is ticking.
Cassette tapes decay quite quickly
even when carefully stored, and be-
cause theyve got quite a few moving
parts, you risk destroying the video
every time you play it. If you do have
cassette tapes lying around anywhere,
its probably time to look into convert-
ing them to DVDs.
There are set-top DVD/VCR players
that can do this, and there are also
kits for computers, so you can store
old cassettes straight into digital
format.
Its much easier and faster to copy,
edit, and catalogue videos stored on
DVD or directly on a hard-drive than
it is to handle cassettes.
After thinking about it, aside from
some old home movies, I really didnt
have any need for a VCR, and I cant
say that I miss dealing with them.
So thanks, youTube, for the trip
down memory lane but I think Ill
keep my Blu-ray.

Casey pushes recipe
for eatery tax relief
Legislation that temporarily shortens the de-
preciation schedule for what restaurants spend to
improve their buildings or construct new ones to
15 years makes sense, according to those in the
restaurant industry and those members of Con-
gress who have annually passed
a one-year extension of the mea-
sure.
But U.S. Sen. Bob Casey
thinks ending the temporary
extensions and making the
15-year-depreciation treatment
permanent makes more sense.
So the Democrat from Scranton
introduced a bipartisan-support-
ed bill Wednesday that does just that.
Shorter depreciation costs reduce the capital
costs to property owners, making them more like-
ly to make improvements to the property. That
could mean a boost to business and maintaining
or increasing the payroll.
Dave Koenig, vice president of tax and prot-
ability for the National Restaurant Association,
lauded Caseys efforts and said his groups inter-
nal data show that, if passed, the bill would lead
to 5,700 new jobs and $330 million in additional
spending in Pennsylvania alone.
The measure has the support of Koenigs associ-
ation and the International Franchise Association.
Under current laws, owners of most commer-
cial buildings including restaurants, depreciate
the buildings original cost, plus the cost of sub-
sequent building renovations and improvements,
over 39 years.
This means that for a building that costs
$100,000, $2,564, or 1/39th of the cost, is written
off in each of the subsequent 39 years. The shorter
depreciation period allows owners to deduct a
greater amount each year. For the same $100,000
building, the owners could deduct $6,667, which
is 1/15th of the cost each year for the next 15
years. This gives business owners an incentive to
make capital investments by reducing their cost,
Casey argued.

TIoGA CoUNTy ofcials
from water treatment company
Aquatech cut the ceremonial rib-
bon Wednesday for its rst cen-
tralized natural gas wastewater
treatment station in Pennsylva-
nia.
The site near Tioga Borough
is open for business and is to
provide wastewater recycling for
drilling companies with spent
fracturing water.
In hydraulic fracturing, drill-
ers send a mixture of water,
sand and lubricating solvents at
great force into the dense Mar-
cellus Shale rock formation. The
pressure is enough to break up
rock and release the natural gas
trapped inside.
The water that rushes back up
the drill shaft, or backow, may
be reused, though it must rst be
cleaned.
The Aquatech site can recycle
backow and other drilling-gen-
erated liquids to lter out solid
materials, disinfect and distill
the water to two different levels,
said Aquatechs Business Devel-
opment Manager Chuck Kozora.
* At the rst level, or clean
level, ltration clears water for
reuse in the industry.
* At the second level, or ultra-
clean level, processed water
meets state standards.
Headquartered near Pitts-
burgh, Aquatech has built water-
treatment equipment for indus-
trial applications since 1981.
Kozora said, while Aquatech
keeps a eet of mobile treatment
systems for gas drilling waste-
water, the Tioga County facility
was made stationary to accom-
modate the concentrated drilling
presence there.
Not only does the site provide
a needed technological service,
but it is also a cost-effective solu-
tion, Kozora said. Before, waste-
water was hauled to another
state and removed from the pro-
duction cycle completely, requir-
ing drillers to get newwater else-
where. He said that factoring in
less wear and tear on roads, the
site will provide signicant long-
term cost savings.
The site is equipped to process
up to 200 gallons per minute.
We are open to the full gaunt-
let: short-term, non-contractual
relationships as well as long-
term contracts, Kozora said.

NEW YORK Strands from babys rst
haircut. The rst tooth. Tiny footprints
sunk into clay. Some parents even tuck
away the dried stump of the umbilical cord
or the stick pregnancy test as a touching
memento marking the milestones of their
children.
The latest? Breast-milk jewelry.
Few issues polarize mothers more than
breast-feeding, and all things related to
breast-feeding, so wearing processed breast
milk around the neck or in a bracelet has
ignited some passions.
The jewelry, on sale at the handmade
marketplace Etsy, is denitely not for writ-
er Ashley McCann, 34, in Naples, Fla. She
nursed both her boys, 6 and 9, and loved it,
but she feels some sort of gross-out line has
been crossed.
This is the most hilariously absurd
trend in mommy jewelry that I have ever
heard about in my life, she said. I think it
is just at-out weird, to be honest.
In addition to nished jewelry, a search
on Etsy produces sellers of breast-milk soap
and one offering a locket kit for the DIY in-
clined. A couple of purveyors, both moms,
said in interviews that they hit on the idea
as they sought out unusual keepsakes of
their special bonds with their babies during
nursing.
The two would not reveal their recipes
for processing the milk, which is covered
with a glaze or clear resin after it is plas-
ticized or dehydrated, forming a clay-like
substance that hardens over time when at
least one method is used.
Prices range from $15 for the kit, which
includes various locket designs, to $125 for
a double pendant in copper bezels with a
matching vintage chain.
What a wonderful way to preserve the
liquid gold that we are only able to make
for a certainperiodof time, reads the prod-
uct description for the latter. This can be
passed down for generations, and what a
fantastic gift to give to your child, the root
of their survival.
The passing down notion prompted
more than a few jokes on BabyCenter.
com when the subject rst came up in-
nocently enough in January. A poster on
the site, which has an average 11 million
unique views a month, said she had heard
of breast-milk jewelry and wondered where
she could nd some, said Rebecca Michals,
who manages the message boards.
It may not be for everyone, Michals of-
fers. I think its a matter of opinion.
Oh yes. Just as attachment parenting

tretching their way through positions with names
like cobra, warrior and downward-facing
dog, the yoga students focused on the way they
were breathing.
As their teacher, Kelly Corazzi, reminded them at the
beginning of class, slowly inhaling and exhaling would
help them begin to let go of the chatter and the racing
thoughts. If the mind should wander, and it will, bring it
back to your breath.
But no matter what kind of work stress or life concerns
could have been a distraction, the students knew they
didnt have to worry at all about one thing: paying for class.

kes-Barre, is donations-based,
as is the Scranton studio she
opened in 2008.
If you trust, it works,
Corazzi said with a smile, ex-
plaining that while the sug-
gested donation is $10, some
people might contribute more,
some people might put in less,
and its all OK.
I tried it the other (conven-
tional) way, and I was always
having to dig into my pocket
to keep the place going, she
said.
This way, it makes yoga
available to people who oth-
erwise wouldnt be able to
come.
So, if offering yoga to people
who might not be able to pay
anything is a good deed, will
the give-and-take, reap-as-you-
sow effects of karma ensure
more goodness comes from
that?
Absolutely, Corazzi said.
Karma is an exchange of en-
ergy.
During Sundays grand
opening, newcomers as well
as experienced students
ocked to a day of free classes.
On Monday, the Wilkes-Barre
Prana Yoga studio settled into
its weekday schedule, with
people coming at noon, 5:30
and 7:15 p.m.
I love the exercise, said
Alma McGarry, 38, of Pittston,
a downtown worker who is ex-
cited about the convenience of
yoga on her lunch hour.
To me, its like the freeing
of my life, said Kayle Chesek,
24, of Larksville, who attend-
ed one of the later classes.
Her job as a nurse is very
stressful, Chesek said, and she
nds the yoga workout and
meditation therapeutic.
She likes the donations-
based aspect of the studio,
too. I think it gives everybody
a chance to come, she said.
Its nice to know you can take
a class, even if youve only got
$2.
The idea for a donations-
based yoga studio started in
Santa Monica, Corazzi said.
She has a friend who runs one
in Baltimore, and she has vis-
ited others in New York City.
The benets of yoga, practi-
tioners say, include improved
feelings of mental, emotional
and spiritual well-being as
well as increased strength,
more exibility, better breath-
ing and posture.
Yoga helps you get in touch
with your body, Corazzi said,
which is something more peo-
ple need to do.
We spend most of our time
in this society all up in our
heads. Thats the opposite of
our true state.
Specic movements help
rid your body of toxins,
Corazzi said. Think of it like
twisting dirty water from a
dishcloth. You actually wring
yourself out.
For another way to think
about the discipline, she add-
ed, Yoga is the cessation of
the uctuations of the mind.
She believes so strongly in
that saying, shes had it tat-
tooed on her arm along with
a lotus ower, which means
new beginnings, and an om
symbol, which stands for the
whole universe.

(wearing your child, the family
bed) is a matter of opinion, or
nursing in public, or those breast-
feeding baby dolls of the holiday
season last year.
I actually think its the atti-
tude behind it, McCann said as
she tried to explain her disdain.
Nursing, she said, is one of my
fondest memories, and honestly
I would get pregnant again to
nurse another baby. But it was
the relationship. Theres some-
thing about plasticizing breast
milk, which is just food to nurse
your baby, that almost seems like
some sort of weird worship of
nursing.
Tell that to the 20 or so people
who contact Allicia Mogavero
each day about the breast-milk
jewelry she began selling in
2007, then mostly to friends. She
put her designs on Etsy about a
year ago and has sold about 200
pieces, including pendants, brace-
lets, lockets and beads of breast
milk alone for people to do with
what they wish. She personalizes
the jewelry with names in fancy
script.
In all, she offers 36 items, using
a ve-step process to preserve a
small amount of milk shipped to
her as instructed. Working the
milk takes about four weeks and
the resin needs a week or two to
dry, she said.
Mogavero, 34, in Wakeeld,
R.I., said sales have picked up
since the jewelry arose on Baby-
Center, producing dozens of
posts that seem evenly split be-
tween admirers and the repulsed.
A lot of people are repelled by
breast-feeding in general, as crazy
as that is. And I think anything
having to do with it is probably
not anything that they like. It is
a body uid, so maybe thats why
people are somewhat against
it, mused Mogavero, who has
shipped to the Philippines, Eng-
land, Australia and Japan.
Mogavero saidshe has hadhus-
bands steal breast milk out of the
freezer to surprise their nursing
wives with one of her creations.
She sells on Etsy as MommyMilk
as she continues to nurse her
third child, a 16-month-old girl.
Brooke Becker in Summerville,
S.C., offers the breast milk kits on
Etsy under the user name Milk-
MomBaby.
I think initially you tell some
people about it and they say, Oh,
thats gross, she said. Breast
milk is pretty personal. Just send-
ing that off to someone is a little
bit of a leap for people.
Thats why she decided to sell
kits, including discreet lockets
and a pill box design as vessels.
She said she has sold about 48
kits since October.
Its something that moms do
for themselves, said Becker, 33.
She has shipped to the United
Kingdom and Asia. Its more for
mothers who are nursing long
term, not people who just nurse
a couple of months.
Victoria Cameron, 33, is nurs-
ingher 13-month-oldsonandpur-
suing a masters in social work in
Minneapolis. She went on Etsy in
search of mothers jewelry when
she stumbled on the breast-milk
sellers. She was the rst to post
about it on a BabyCenter board
for bargain hunters. The quick-
re reaction surprised her.
At the same time people were
talking about getting cremation
remains made into a diamond
or a rock, and that was, like, su-
per meaningful, and then people
were just like, Ohthis breast-milk
thing is crazy. It was very odd,
she said.
The debate has since spread on
parenting blogs and social media.
In Belleville, N.J., Sharon Val-
carcel, 32, nurses her 11-month-
old daughter in the evenings
after she returns from her job as
a high-school psychologist. She
heard about the jewelry from a
friend and thought it was kind
of gross.
The jewelry, Valcarcel said,
plays into broader divisions over
breast-feeding, with women who
are very elitist about it on the
supportive side.
The funny thing is theyre
kind of pretty, she said of some
of the designs. But I think its
awkward.
Cameron hasnt bought a piece
of breast-milk jewelry but plans
to as kind of a weaning type of
thing, when I think were getting
towards the end of it.
So whats the fuss?
This has nothing to do with
promoting the breast-feeding
campaign. This is people on Etsy
wanting to make a buck, and
emotional moms like me want-
ing to have something for them-
selves, she said. Imnot goingto
pass it down to my son. Im not
going to tell the average person
on the street what it is. It would
be for me.
