A 17-year-old student from the

30 hours earlier.
John Bibb, of Delaware, was
greeted by his father, Lee, who
had come to the park after learn-

who, according to Mildred Fire-

Violating the new ordinance
carries a fine of up to $500 and/or
up to 30 days of jail time per vio-
lation, and each day a violation
occurs is considered to be a sep-
arate infraction.
In other business, the supervi-
sors also heard from residents of
Ridge Road who expressed con-
cern about the speed of traffic ex-
iting Route 115 onto their street.
The residents said school bus-
es, trucks and cars headed to the
municipal golf course come off
the 45 mph highway and contin-
ue at that same rate of speed on
the small road, making it difficult
and dangerous for residents to
pull out of driveways and endan-
gering neighborhood children.
Supervisors noted it would be
costly to redesign the road,
which has five houses, but said
they would consult an engineer
for suggestions on how the safety
concerns might be addressed.
Also, Supervisor Gary Zinga-
retti provided an update on the
Act 537 sewage disposal plan,
which calls for the township to di-
rect sewage from Bear Creek
through the lines in Plains Town-
ship and on to the Wyoming Val-
ley Sanitary Authority.
Zingaretti reported that flow
meter studies on the sewage lines
in Plains Township have been
completed and document that
the system’s capacity is five and a
half times more than the highest
level of flow that Bear Creek
Township would generate. Zinga-
retti said Plains Township will be
asked to have the matter put on
the agenda for the May 13 meet-
ing.

Mullery had called the meet-

But Cate Street Capital with-

es mail fraud, money laundering and tax

Most charges related to his acceptance of
nearly $1 million from real estate developer
Robert Mericle, who built two private juve-
nile detention facilities. Prosecutors say the
money was payment for actions Ciavarella
and former judge Michael Conahan took to
assure the centers would profit.
Flora and Ruzzo contend there was insuf-
ficient evidence to justify the verdict, point-
ing to the fact that Mericle’s payment oc-
curred in 2003, and the statute of limitation
had expired by the time charges were lev-
eled in 2009.
The defense also argues that, during pre-
trial hearings, U.S Assistant Attorney Gor-
don Zubrod told a judge the money was a
“finder’s fee,” not a bribe, thus negating the
prosecution’s own argument.
Prosecutors counter that Zubrod was re-
ferring to how Mericle perceived the pay-
ment, not how it was perceived by Ciavarel-
la, who shared it with Conahan.
Much of the government’s argument
pointed to Conahan’s actions. By law, a de-
fendant can be guilty of racketeering based
on actions of a co-conspirator, even when
not involved in those actions.
In their reply brief filed Monday, Flora
and Ruzzo stress that the jury considered
other payments from Mericle and from at-
torney Robert Powell, a co-owner of the ju-
venile facilities. Those payments were
made within the statute of limitations, yet
the jury acquitted on charges connected to
them.
“Thegovernmenthasproducedevidence

itations,” the brief said. “The jury has reject-
ed the government’s allegations of conduct
within the statutory period by finding Cia-
varella not guilty of any predicate acts with-
in the five-year period.”
“Predicate acts” refers to a legal require-
ment. The jury had to decide Ciavarella had
committed at least two acts among many
presented to find him guilty of racketeering.

brod -- that the Mericle payments were a le-

from Hillside

on Hillside Road.
Since the region’s current wet
weather pattern, Jackson Town-
ship has dealt with Hillside
Creek overflowing its banks
twice this year, on March 11 and
again on April 28. The water
from the swollen creek, gener-
ated from overflow from Hill-
side Dam, washed across the
lower section of Hillside Road,
affecting a handful of homes.
Fox suggested supervisors
contact the Luzerne County en-
gineer to discuss options to pre-
vent a recurrence. Fox said per-
haps the stream could have de-
bris cleaned out of it, starting at
the dam and heading down-
stream to the Kingston Town-
ship line. Supervisor Tim Evans
agreed, stating something
needs to be done before a “real
problem” happens in that area.
During flooding in March,
Hillside Road resident Charles
Norris, 46, said he thought the
single large pipe, under the
bridge, is not adequate to han-
dle the volume of water from
snow melt and heavy rains. Nor-
ris explained tree branches and
other debris block the pipe.

ed by Jackson Township in Feb-

ities in the Back Mountain.
Supervisor John Wilkes Jr.
said the agreement was invalu-
able. Assistance from neighbor-
ing municipalities along with
help from SCI-Dallas helped
“things go smoothly,” Wilkes
said.

TRIPOLI, Libya — Libyans

Moammar Gadhafi’s second
youngest son to the thunder-
ing sound of anti-aircraft fire
Monday, as South Africa
warned that the NATO bomb-
ing that killed him would only
bring more violence.
Libya’s leader did not attend
the tumultuous funeral of 29-
year-old Seif al-Arab, but older
brothers Seif al-Islam and Mo-
hammed paid their respects,
thronged by a crowd of several
thousand. Mourners flashed
victory signs and chanted “Re-
venge, revenge for you, Li-
bya.”
Three of Gadhafi’s grand-
children, an infant and two
toddlers, also died in Satur-
day’s attack, which NATO says
targeted one of the regime’s
command and control centers.
Gadhafi and his wife were in
the compound at the time, but
escaped unharmed, Libyan of-
ficials said, accusing the alli-
ance of trying to assassinate
the Libyan leader.
NATO officials have denied
they are hunting Gadhafi to
break the battlefield stalemate
between Gadhafi’s troops and
rebels trying for the past 10
weeks to depose him. Rebels
largely control eastern Libya,
while Gadhafi has clung to
much of the west, including
the capital, Tripoli. Fierce bat-
tles have raged in Misrata, a
besieged rebel-held city in
western Libya, which has been
shelled by Libyan forces every
day in recent weeks.

Doctor’s trial is delayed
The long-awaited trial of the doctor

Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor
said he was more concerned with jus-

the speed of the proceedings.
Murray, who had insisted on a
speedy trial, waived that right and
agreed to start jury selection anew on
Sept. 8. Lawyers estimated opening
statements would begin Sept. 20.
Attorneys for Murray filed a motion

President Assad is
determined to crush the
6-week-old revolt.
By ZEINA KARAM
Associated Press
Syrian troops went door-to-
door in cities and towns across
the nation Monday, arresting
scores of people in a campaign
of intimidation aimed at
crushing an uprising against
President Bashar Assad’s au-
thoritarian regime, activists
said.
Rami Abdul-Rahman, head
of the Syrian Observatory for
Human Rights, said hundreds
of people had been arrested
over the past two days alone.
“The arrests are ongoing,
from the besieged southern
city of Daraa to the country’s
north and passing through the
suburbs of Damascus,” he
said.
Assad is determined to
crush the 6-week-old revolt,
which began in Daraa and
quickly spread across the na-
tion of some 23 million peo-
ple. Rights groups say at least
545 Syrians have been killed
since the uprising began in
March.
Now, the once-unimagina-
ble protests are posing the
most serious challenge to four
decades of rule by the Assad
family in one of the most re-
pressive countries in the Mid-
dle East.
“It seems the authorities
have taken an undeclared deci-
sion to kill off the uprising us-
ing security and military
means,” said Abdul-Rahman,
who is based in London.

city, has been under siege for a
week since the regime sent in

(26 percent), followed by its casi-
nos (11 percent), the fact that it is
“someplace new to go” (8 percent)
and offers exciting entertainment
(6 percent).
When the Slatterys, a Westlake,
Ohio, couple were planning to cel-
ebrate their 11th wedding anniver-
sary, they considered Las Vegas.
“I said, ‘We’ve gone to Vegas
many times; let’s go to Atlantic
City instead,’” said Rosemary Slat-
tery.
“We made a good choice,” her
husband, Jerry, added. He last vis-
ited Atlantic City in1949 — nearly
30 years before the resort offered
casino gambling.
The couple enjoyed a rolling
chair ride on the Boardwalk, loved
gazing out at the ocean, and said
the people they encountered were
friendly.
Suzanne Malafronte of Nauga-
tuck, Conn., and her husband, Er-
nie, were staying at the Tropicana.
They did so even though they eas-
ily could have visited one of two
Indian casinos in their home state.

said. “There’s, what, 11 casinos

Justice served for 9/11, says Pa.’s delegation

Barletta, Marino, Casey and

WASHINGTON – Wilkes-Barre
area members of Congress said
Osama bin Laden’s death extracts
some measure of justice for the
horrific events of Sept. 11, 2001
and they lauded the work of the
U.S. intelligence and military
forces that hunted the terrorist
down.
“Let the word go forth that the
elimination of this cold-blooded
murderer sends a distinct mess-
age to the terrorists around the
world that the United States of
America will track down and elim-
inate those cowards who think
they can create an atmosphere of
horror and get away with it,” said
Rep. Tom Marino, R-Lycoming
Township.
Sen. Bob Casey, D-Scranton,
noted that Pennsylvania, along
with New York and Washington,
was directly impacted by what bin
Laden and al-Qaida perpetrated
when Flight 93 was downed by he-
roic passengers over Shanksville,
Somerset County.

Since then, 68 soldiers from
Pennsylvania have been killed in
Afghanistan and hundreds others
injured, Casey said.
“The sacrifice of those families
who lost loved ones on Sept. 11th
and in the following years can nev-
er be made whole, but I hope that
the death of bin Laden can help to

the need to remain relentlessly
vigilant, the death of bin Laden
has enormous significance in
American and world history.:
Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Hazleton,
said that, “Like all Americans, I
am pleased that, after a manhunt
lasting more than a decade, Osa-
ma bin Laden is dead. For far too
long, bin Laden evaded justice.
But now, it seems as if justice has
finally been meted out to Osama
bin Laden.”
Barletta said he hopes the news
“brings some measure of solace”
to families of victims of 9/11 and
other terrorist attacks carried out
by al-Qaida. But Barletta also cau-
tioned that bin Laden’s death does
not mean the end to al-Qaida and
other terrorists who wish the
United States harm.
“This is a remarkable victory in
the war against terror, but we
must remain vigilant and cau-
tious,” Barletta said. Sen. Pat Too-
mey, R-Zionsville, made a stop
Monday in Wilkes-Barre to ad-
dress business concerns with
members of the Greater Wilkes-

to talk about the death of the coun-
try’s “Public Enemy No. 1.”
“It’s great news for the entire

The world’s a better place without
him.”

Raid was years in making

By JONATHAN S. LANDAY
McClatchy Newspapers
WASHINGTON — It took years for the
U.S. military to track Osama bin Laden
down, finding him not in a cave in the in-
accessible tribal regions of Pakistan, but in
a sumptuous luxury compound built just
six years ago in the same city that is home
to Pakistan’s most prestigious military a-
cademy.
The raid that killed him lasted just 40
minutes.
U.S. officials briefing reporters here said
the raid involved a helicopter assault on a
compound in the Pakistani city of Abbotta-
bad by a small U.S. team.
Bin Laden resisted the U.S. team and
was shot in the head, they said. Also killed
were bin Laden’s most trusted courier and
one of bin Laden’s sons, as well as a woman
one of the men tried to use as a human
shield, they said.
"Bin Laden was killed as our operators
came into the compound," said one senior
administration official, who like the oth-
ers, spoke on condition they not be further
identified because of the situation’s sensi-
tivity.
Only U.S. personnel were involved in the
raid, and Obama’s decision to launch it
wasn’t shared with any other country, in-
cluding Pakistan, whose most powerful in-
telligence agency, the Inter-Services Intel-
ligence Directorate, has long been suspect-
ed by U.S. officials of maintaining links to
extremist groups close to al-Qaida.
One senior administration official indi-
cated that the U.S. was pursuing with the
Pakistani government the question of
whether any Pakistani officials were aware
of bin Laden’s presence.
The compound was uncovered after
years of effort by the CIA, which had been
gathering leads on individuals in bin La-
den’s inner circle, including his couriers.
Some of their names were provided by al-
Qaida members captured by the U.S.
"One courier in particular had our con-
stant attention," said a second senior ad-
ministration official, who declined to re-
lease his name, but described him as a
"protege" of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed,
the alleged architect of the 9/11 attacks
who was captured in Pakistan in March
2003 and is in U.S. custody at Guantana-
mo.
The CIA positively identified the cou-
rier four years ago and two years ago iden-
tified areas of Pakistan where the courier
and his brother were operating. But be-
cause they employed such tight operations
security, the agency was unable to pin-
point their residence until last year.
The captured al-Qaida members only
knew the courier’s nom de guerre, but they

Witness, visuals, DNA all confirm bin Laden was killed

By PAULINE JELINEK
and ROBERT BURNS
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The U.S.
used multiple means to confirm
the identity of Osama bin Laden
during and after the firefight in
which he was killed, before plac-
ing his body in the North Arabian
Sea from aboard a U.S. aircraft
carrier, senior U.S. officials said
Monday.
The al-Qaida leader was iden-
tified by name by a woman be-
lieved to be one of his wives —
bin Laden had several — who
was present at his Pakistan com-
pound at the time of the U.S.
raid. He also was visually identi-
fied by members of the U.S. raid
squad, a senior intelligence offi-
cial told reporters at a Pentagon
briefing. Under ground rules set
by the Pentagon, the intelligence
official and two senior defense
officials could not be identified
by name.
The intelligence official also
said quite a bit of unspecified ma-
terial was collected by U.S.
forces during the raid. Without
describing the material, the offi-
cial said it is being analyzed by a
team of people at the CIA.
Bin Laden’s body was put
aboard the USS Carl Vinson and
placed into the North Arabian
Sea.
Traditional Islamic proce-
dures for handling the remains
were followed, the officials said,
including washing the corpse,
placing it in a white sheet. Prep-
arations for at-sea burial began at
1:10 a.m. EDT Monday and were
completed at 2 a.m. EDT, one of-
ficial said.
The intelligence official said
the DNA match, using DNA from
several family members, provid-
ed virtual certainty that it was
bin Laden’s body.
Obama provided no details on
the identification process during
the announcement Sunday
night.
The U.S. is believed to have
collected DNA samples from bin
Laden family members in the
years since the 9/11 attacks that
triggered the U.S.-led invasion of
Afghanistan. It was unclear
whether the U.S. also had finger-
prints or some other means to
identify the body on site.
U.S. officials also said bin La-
den was identified through "fa-
cial recognition," a reference to
technology for mapping unique
facial characteristics, but it was
not clear exactly how the Navy
SEAL troops performed the com-
parison.
The body was photographed
before being buried at sea, al-
though no images have been re-
leased by the Obama administra-
tion.
The U.S. official who disclosed
the burial at sea said it would
have been difficult to find a coun-
try willing to accept the remains.
Obama said the remains had
been handled in accordance with
Islamic custom, which requires Osama bin Laden, seen in 1998,
speedy burial.
Pakistan’s equivalent of our West
Point, there are some questions
that need answered.
“How does the most wanted
man in the world live within a mile
of Kakul (The Pakistan Military A-
cademy)?” Carney said.
But asking questions and sorting
out the hows and whys can take
place later, Carney said.
Right now, this is a time for
Americans and other residents of
the world to rejoice and feel proud
that one mission has been accom-
plished, he said.
“It shows the resolve of the Unit-
ed States. We’re not going to give
up,” Carney said, noting that it also
sends another message to terrorists
who might have doubted the coun-
try’s efforts to bring down al-Qaida.
“It shows them our tenacity.”

Final tape may surface
U.S. intelligence officials believe
Osama bin Laden made a propa-
ganda recording shortly before
his death and expect that tape
to surface soon.
It’s unclear whether the tape is
audio or video, but a U.S. official
says that intelligence indicates
it’s already working its way
through al-Qaida’s media pipe-
line. The official said the timing
was coincidental and there’s no
indication he knew U.S. forces
were bearing down on him.
A new recording from bin Laden
would provide a final word from
beyond the grave for a terrorist
who taunted the U.S. with re-
corded propaganda for years. It
could also provide fodder to
those who insist he is still alive.

dicted future ones. But he said
bin Laden’s demise served as a
reminder that what the country
can achieve transcends party la-
bels.
"Last night, as Americans
learned that the United States
had carried out an operation that
resulted in the capture and death
of Osama bin Laden, I think we
experienced the same sense of
unity that prevailed on 9/11," he
said, urging that that spirit con-
tinue.
Upon hearing bin Laden’s
name, lawmakers of both parties
interrupted the president with a
standing ovation and whistles.
Among the Republicans who
rose to their feet were House
Speaker John Boehner of Ohio
and House Budget Committee
Chairman Paul Ryan of Wiscon-
sin. Obama has been sharply crit-
ical of Ryan’s 2012 budget plan.
"We were reminded again that
there is a pride in what this na-
tion stands for and what we can
achieve that runs far deeper than
party, far deeper than politics,"
Obama said.
Obama said he knows the uni-
ty that permeated the country af-
ter the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks
orchestrated by bin Laden has
"frayed a little bit over the years"
and said he has "no illusions"
about the difficulties of the de-
bates awaiting them. He noted
other moments this year that
brought the country together, in-
cluding the January assassina-
tion attempt on Rep. Gabrielle
Giffords, D-Ariz.
He added bin Laden’s death to
that list.
"So tonight, it is my fervent
hope that we can harness some
of that unity and some of that
pride to confront the many chal-
lenges that we still face," he said.
The dinner, for the bipartisan
congressional leadership and
key committee leaders, was host-
ed by Obama and his wife, Mi-
chelle. It included Vice President
Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, as
well as Cabinet members and se-
nior White House aides.

Bin Laden’s elegant home raises questions

Pakistan denies knowledge of the
terrorist, but several key U.S.
senators suspect otherwise.
By NAHAL TOOSI and KATHY GANNON
The Associated Press
ABBOTTABAD, Pakistan — Osama bin
Laden made his final stand in a small Pa-
kistani city where three army regiments
with thousands of soldiers are based not
far from the capital — a location that is in-
creasing suspicions in Washington that Is-
lamabad may have been sheltering him.
The U.S. acted alone in Monday’s heli-
copter raid, did not inform Pakistan until
it was over and pointedly did not thank Pa-
kistan at the end of a wildly successful op-
eration. All this suggests more strain
ahead in a relationship that was already
suffering because of U.S. accusations that
the Pakistanis are supporting Afghan mil-
itants and Pakistani anger over American
drone attacks and spy activity.
Pakistani intelligence agencies are nor-
mally very sharp in sniffing out the pres-
ence of foreigners in small cities.
Sen. Carl Levin, the chairman of the
Senate Armed Services Committee, said
bin Laden’s location meant Pakistan had
“a lot of explaining to do.”
“I think this tells us once again that un-
fortunately Pakistan at times is playing a
double game,” said Sen. Susan Collins, R-
Maine, a member of the Armed Services
Committee.
A senior Pakistan intelligence official
dismissed speculation that bin Laden was
being protected.
“We don’t explain it. We just did not
know — period,” he said, on condition his
name not be released to the media.
Suspicions that Pakistan harbors mili-
tants have been a major source of mistrust
between the CIA and Pakistan’s Inter-Ser-
vices Intelligence agency, or ISI — though
the two agencies have cooperated in the
arrests of al-Qaida leaders since the Sept.
11, 2001attacks, including several in towns
and cities outside the border area.
For years, Western intelligence had said
bin Laden was most likely holed up in a
cave along the Pakistan-Afghan border, a
remote region of soaring mountains and
thick forests where the Pakistan army has
little presence. But the 10-year hunt for the
world’s most-wanted man ended in a
whitewashed, three-story house in a mid-
dle-class area of Abbottabad, a leafy resort
city of 400,000 people nestled in pine-for-
ested hills less than 35 miles from the na-
tional capital, Islamabad.
The compound, which an Obama ad-
ministration official said was “custom
built to hide someone of significance,” was
about a half-mile (one kilometer) away
from the Kakul Military Academy, one of
several military installations in the bus-
tling, hill-ringed town.
“Personally I feel that he must have
thought it was the safest area,” said Asad
Munir, a former ISI station chief in the
northwest. “Abbottabad is a place no one
would expect him to live.”
It was unclear how long bin Laden had
been holed up in the house with members
of his family. From the outside, the house
resembled many others in Pakistan and
even had a flag flying from a pole in the
garden, apparently a Pakistani one. It had
high, barbed-wire topped walls, few win-

dows and was located in a neighborhood
of smaller houses, shops, dusty litter-lined
streets and empty plots used for growing
vegetables.
Obama will visit NYC
An administration official says
President Barack Obama will
travel to New York City on Thurs-
day to mark the death of al-
Qaida leader Osama bin Laden.
Obama is expected to visit
ground zero, the site of al-Qai-
da’s attack on the World Trade
Center, and meet with the fam-
ilies of those killed nearly 10
years ago.
The official spoke on the condi-
tion of anonymity because the
trip has not been formally an-
nounced.
Teacher shaves beard
A middle school teacher in
Ephrara, Wash. vowed after the
terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001,
that he would not shave his
beard until Osama bin Laden
was caught.
Gary Weddle, 50, kept his word
Sunday evening.
Weddle, who lives in East We-
natchee and teaches in Ephrata,
had wanted to cut his beard for
years.
Weddle was a substitute teacher
in Wenatchee when the terrorist
attacks occurred.

Fun way to celebrate earth
By SARA POKORNY
spokorny@timesleader.com
Brenton Krempasky’s face
went from terrified to elated as he
yelled his way through the Giant
Swing at the Earth Day Celebra-
tion at Bear Creek Camp in Bear
Creek Township on Sunday.
The 8-year-old from Slatington
danced around after touching the
ground, telling the eight other
children that helped hoist him
high above the trees how much
fun it was.
“That’s how it usually goes,”
said Karen Gower, Environmen-
tal Programs Manager of Bear
Creek Camp. “They look scared
for the first second or two, then all
of a sudden it’s yells of excitement
and ‘I want to do it again.’”
The camp hosted a celebration
that combined fun activities with
learning opportunities. There
was also a climbing wall, hiking,
and boating.
Lily Starr, 4, of Wilkes-Barre,
paced the bottom of the climbing
wall, waiting for her second go-
round. She attended the festivi-
ties with her mom Andrea, dad
Steven, and siblings, Stevie, 2,
and Katelyn, 7 months old.
“They’re loving this today,” An-
drea said. “The guys just came
back from a hike and before, the
kids were doing crafts and Lily
pet a cub.”
2 for 7 WEDNESDAY
AT VICTORY PIG PIZZA
Matthew Weiser, 14, takes a turn on the giant swing at the Bear
Creek Camp during an Earth Day Celebration.
Children participated in activ-
ities such as sand art and making
“fossils” from clay, stamps and
markers.
Children and adults alike could
be found tie-dying T-shirts in one
section of the camp. The activity
was sponsored by Eastern Penn-
sylvania Coalition for Abandoned
Mine Reclamation. EPCAMR is
an organization that works to re-
store watersheds impacted by
past mining practices.
In doing this, it finds ways to
utilize some of the material it har-
vests for other activities.
AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER
“What we use for this dye is a
natural iron oxide pigment that
we dry ourselves,” said Robert
Hughes, Executive Director of
EPCAMR. “We harvest it from
the mine discharge that we’re
helping to clean up all around the
Valley.”
The pigment produced a rust-
orange color that adorned several
“Earth Day” T-shirts.
Several educational programs
took place. Bear Creek’s Nature
Center was readily available for
those looking to learn about local
wildlife.

said. “Most par-
ents come in and
tell the kids not to
touch anything, but we encour-
age it. We want them to learn all
they can.”
A “Creature Feature” program
that showcased reptiles and in-
sects took place, as well as “The
Unhuggables,” an event spon-
sored by the Pocono Wildlife Re-
hab Center.
“There are local animals, like a
skunk, that people wouldn’t think
to come up and hug and tend to
stay away from,” Gower said, “so
we do this program to show why
these animals are important to
the area.”
Bear Creek camp plays host to
several different groups year-
round, from school trips to
church groups and a summer
camp. The 3,000-plus acre site
has a facility that consists of cabi-
ns that can be utilized for week-
end retreats, 25 miles of trails,
and a lake, in addition to the
many buildings that house educa-
tional programs.

Enthusiasts take on area hills for Habitat

More than 100 bicyclists raise
money at event honoring
Spencer Martin.
By RALPH NARDONE
Times Leader Correspondent
LEHMAN TWP. -- More than
100 bicycling enthusiasts took on
the challenging hills and roads in
the Back Mountain on Sunday
morning, all to benefit the Wyom-
ing Valley Habitat for Humanity.
Starting on the Penn State
Wilkes-Barre campus, bicyclists
rode over a 30-mile route to raise
money for the organization at the

’ve been reading about how Clif Madrack
and borough administrator Joseph A.
Mazur don’t see eye to eye on how the
residents of Plymouth could best be
served.
At least Mr. Madrack, Bill Dixon and
Steve Gerko of the Plymouth Action Com-
mittee have a video on YouTube outlining
their plan for Plymouth, should they get
elected.
What are you plans, Mr. Mazur? How
will you help the residents of Plymouth?
Will you clean up the playgrounds for our
kids and make them safe, instead of places
to buy illegal drugs? What about our de-
plorable roads? What about the trash on
our streets? What about the unregistered
and uninspected cars parked on our
streets, etc.?
Instead of badmouthing Mr. Madrack’s
quired infections to bad luck or, indeed,
anything but defects in the complex sys-
tems in which doctors must work. A pa-
tient can, for example, get a surgical
wound infection if somebody over whom
the surgeon has no control whatsoever
does not clean his hands before changing a
dressing. A good quality-management
system can make it impossible for hospital
staff members to forget to clean their
hands, but the Medical Society has
bragged openly about its role in derailing
legislation (HB 743 in 2005 and HB 246 in
2009) to encourage hospitals to implement
such systems.
The second sentence equates life-threat-
ening infections to inaccurate claims on
consumer products, and it then equates
disabling or fatal medical outcomes to
gambling jackpots. It is easy to envision a
poses rather than because of scientific
study. This would be a tragic end to the
many years of effort to reintroduce wolves
to some of their prior range.
Lastly, it is well documented that the
wolves fulfill a vital role by culling the sick
and weak animals from the herds of prey
animals, thereby improving the breeding
stock. There are also many viable, non-
violent alternatives to killing the wolves.
(To learn more about these alternatives,
please visit The Defenders of Wildlife’s
website).
If we are ever to reduce the level of vio-
lence in the world, we must learn that, in
either human or animal affairs, killing is
never a “solution.”

NW plans not to replace retirees
Nine teachers leaving won’t

By TOM HUNTINGTON
Times Leader Correspondent
UNION TWP. – Unlike many
other financially strapped school
districts in this region, the
Northwest Area School Board
doesn’t at this time intend to ef-
fect major staff reductions and
program cuts but rather, accord-
ing to what was said at a finance
committee meeting Monday
night, will not replace teachers
who are retiring at the end of the
2010--11 school term.
It was stated by Albert Melone
Jr., business consultant for the
district, that letters of retire-
ment have been accepted by the
school board from 13 teachers
and of those 13, only four posi-
tions will be filled. for the 2011-12
term. This situation, along with
proposed reductions in supplies,
field trip expenses, dues and stu-
dent activities, have resulted in

Heavy sobs resonated through-
out the courtroom on several oc-
casions as Angela Miller de-
scribed the devastating impact
her husband’s June 7, 2009 death
has had on her and other family
members.
Joshua Miller, 34, of Pittston
Township, was fatally shot, and
another trooper, Robert Lombar-
do, 36, of Pittston Township, was
wounded by Autenrieth follow-
ing a high speed chase that began
after he abducted his 9-year-old
son from his estranged wife’s
home.

killed, obtained the gun from

the charge in February.

year-old daughter, Angela Miller

the day she had to tell the little
girl her father would not be com-

“Prior to June 7, 2009, every
day I woke up happy. Every day I

then I wake up struggling

which is scheduled to be adopt-
ed in June. That figure comes in
the aftermath of the news last
month of the loss of $1.5 million
in state subsidies..
By not replacing retirees, Mel-
one estimated the district will
save $542,972.
Besides not replacing retirees,
Melone said that the finance
committee has recommended
that the school board curtail
sports programs for seventh-
through ninth-grade students.
Ninth-graders (freshmen) will,
however, have the alternative of
competing on a junior varsity
level next year.
Through what Melone called
“shared pain,” expenses in the
proposed budget are at $18 mil-
lion. He said at present an in-
crease in what he called the tax
index is 2 percent, which would
be another $90,000 from real es-
tate levies.
Al Gordon, chairman of the fi-
nance committee, said that

The child has had difficulty un-
derstanding her father’s death.
Kelly Miller, 35, sister of the
slain trooper, spoke about how
she found her niece playing with
her mother’s cell phone at a birth-
day party. When she asked what
she was doing, she said she “was
texting daddy in heaven.”
The comment caused the
child’s grandmother, Peggy Mill-
er, 55, to break into heaving sobs.
She buried her head in her hands,
grasping a locket bearing her
slain son’s image as she struggled
to regain her composure.
Susan Autenrieth spoke of the
horror she and her son deal with
daily as they relive having a gun
pointed at them. The boy was res-
cued unharmed from his father’s
car after his father was fatally
shot.
“There isn’t a day that goes by
they I don’t close my eyes and see
that gun,” she said.
Autenrieth and Angela Miller
have supported each other since
the incident, Miller said. They
embraced outside the courtroom
following the sentencing.
Fifty supporters at hearing
The Miller family was joined at
the hearing by approximately 50
supporters, including more than
two dozen off-duty state police
troopers. The group burst into ap-
plause at the end of the hearing.
Gross’ attorney, Eric Breslin,
portrayed Gross, who had no pri-
or record, as a kind-hearted, naïve
woman who was duped by Auten-
rieth into buying the weapon,

through booster club or business
sponsorship. He said the athletic
fields and uniforms would be
available, but there might not be
any teams to schedule. Melone
said a majority of neighboring
districts have announced inten-
tions to curtail their seventh-
and eighth-grade teams.
Among the adjustments being
imposed, Melone said the ad-
ministrative staff has agreed to a
salary freeze for the 2011-12
term. Those involved would be
the superintendent, principals,
assistant principals and other su-
pervisory personnel. Melone
said there will be no furloughs at
this time, “nor do we anticipate
any furloughs in the near fu-
ture.’’
In the overall formula to effect
budget reductions, Nancy
Tkatch, district superintendent,
said that an increase in class-
room sizes for students in kin-
dergarten through sixth grade is
part of several options that she
has placed before the school
board. Gina Schwartz, school
board member, expressed initial
objection. She said that Tkatch’s

isfaction to know that the master-
mind of 9/11 is gone,” but added,
“it’s far from over.”
“I know he would be very
leery,” she said of her son.
“I think he would say, ‘It’s just
going to be the beginning,’” she
said. “It’s very mixed emotions,
especially from the men that
served with him. It’s just so devas-
tating; everything that’s hap-
pened; so many lives have been
lost, and it’s not over.”
Justice served
Bill Jenkins, of Lehman Town-
ship, echoed DePrimo’s com-
ments.
“Justice has definitely been
served,” he said. “I’m sure there
will still be terrorism in the fu-
ture, which is unfortunate, but
when you take out someone like
that, it certainly rains on their pa-
rade.”
On Sept. 11, 2001, Jenkins was

at Goldman Sachs, about two

tions were.
Breslin said he understands the
anguish of Miller’s family, but the
brunt of their angst and anger
should be directed at Daniel Au-
tenrieth, not Gross.
“Mr. Autenrieth is not here to
face the consequences,” Breslin
said. “She is the only defendant
left, so she is the one who is in the
spotlight.”
While acknowledging Gross’
history, Jones rejected the re-
quest for house arrest, saying he
believed a stiffer sentence was
warranted, in part, to deter oth-
ers who might consider illegally
purchasing a gun for others. Fed-
eral guidelines called for a sen-
tence of six to 12 months in pris-
on.
Breslin vehemently objected to
the sentence, imploring Jones to
reconsider.

Randy Tomassacci, recently

Jenkins said many of his
friends, acquaintances and busi-
ness associates were killed in the
attacks.
He said bin Laden’s death
“doesn’t fix what happened, but it
definitely gives some peace for all
the families that were affected.”
Monday morning, Jenkins,
who now works for Wells-Fargo
Investments in Wilkes-Barre,
played basketball with friend Dan
Paley, of Shavertown, who also
witnessed the 2001 attack from
his office at CIBC World Markets
across the street from the twin

Jenkins said, “and I said, ‘We got

es, I just don’t think that’s fair,”
Breslin said.
Jones stood by his decision,
however, to the relief of Angela
Miller.
“I’m glad to see she will be in-
carcerated for some time,” Miller
said following the sentencing.
Miller took issue with Breslin’s
characterization of her family as
being on some sort of “witch
hunt” against Gross.
“That is so not the case,” she
said. “They were both wrong and
should be penalized for their
wrongdoing. Her boyfriend has
already paid his consequences to
a higher authority.”
Breslin said he will review the
case to determine if there is any
basis for an appeal. Gross was
permitted to remain free pending
her report date, which was set for
May 23.

TFP still needs a final hearing
before the Plains Township
Planning Commission before it
can proceed with the project.

doors, he added, “I’m sorry to my
family.”
Police say Beamer was watch-
ing movies with his brother John
Bogdon and friend Samantha
Claudio Sunday night in a third-
floor apartment at 535 W. Shaw-
nee Ave. in Plymouth.
Near midnight, Bogdon asked
if Claudio was leaving soon,
sparking an argument between
the siblings. Beamer repeatedly
asked Bogdon to leave, according
to police, and retrieved a 9 mm
pistol from between the cushion
and arm of a chair and placed a
live round in it.
The affidavit of probable cause
says that Beamer claimed he held
the gun in his right hand while
grabbing Bogdon’s shirt with his
left hand as Bogdon threw punch-
es.
“Beamer stated that they be-
gan to spin around the living
room floor when they heard the
gun discharge,” the affidavit says.
Beamer told police Claudio
screamed, ran into the kitchen
and collapsed. Beamer’s mother
came up from the second-floor
apartment, and he asked her to
call 911.
Claudio was taken to Geisinger
Wyoming Valley in Plains Town-
ship, where she was pronounced
dead at 12:30 a.m. Monday.
The affidavit of probable cause
says that Plymouth police Officer
Joshua Evans arrived first on the
scene and heard a female voice
screaming.
He requested additional help
and entered to find a white fe-
male – Claudio - lying on the floor
at the doorway, with a white male
– Beamer - kneeling next to her,
apparently applying pressure to a
wound under her left arm.
Evans asked where the shooter
was, and Beamer replied, “I’m
sorry, I accidentally pulled the
trigger,” the affidavit says.

was he who died in the crash rather

“It was a bad experience and a

Neishell also spoke briefly Mon-

Croner said The Times Leader
covered the same story and re-
ferred to the case accurately as “the bullet-proof vests and entered the
D’Elia investigation.”
The Citizens’ Voice stories were
based on information provided to
two reporters – Edward Lewis and
James Conmy – that were largely
based on unnamed sources in-
volved with the investigation.
The sources claimed that Joseph
Sr. was being investigated for run-
ning a money laundering scheme
with D’Elia and for using his trans-
port company to run weapons,
drugs and prostitutes.
“Who are these invisible sourc-
es?” Croner asked. “What would
possibly explain The Citizens’
Voice printing these articles that
stray so far from the truth?”
Croner said Lewis was “in love
with anonymous sources” – show-
ing several stories that were dom-
inated by the use of the unnamed
sources. Croner said the stories
made the Josephs appear to be “in-
dictees in waiting.” He said when
D’Elia was indicted, there was no
criminal link between him and Jo-
seph.

Beamer then told Evans the
gun was in the front room in the
couch, where it was later found
wrapped in a shirt with what ap-
peared to be blood.
According to police, Beamer
said he found the gun about two
months ago along a trail frequent-
ed by all-terrain vehicles and mo-
torcycles in the Plymouth Flats
area of Plymouth Township, and
that he had never attempted to
contact police or to find the right-
ful owner.
Beamer was charged with in-
voluntary manslaughter, aggra-
vated assault, recklessly endan-
gering another person, and theft
of property lost, mislaid or deliv-
ered by mistake. Luzerne County
First Assistant District Attorney
Jeff Tokach said there are cur-
rently no plans to charge Bogdon.
During his brief arraignment,
Beamer told Whittaker that he
has worked full-time for three
years at “Rob’s Restaurant” in
Plymouth, and that he had partial
custody of a 4-year-old daughter.
Asked if he had been in trouble
with the law before, Beamer said
the mother of his daughter had
accused him of threatening the
girl, and had sought a protection-
from-abuse order, but that was
“two years ago.” Beamer said he
had no record since that.
Beamer’s preliminary hearing
was set for May 10, 10 a.m., in
Whittaker’s Nanticoke office.

said.
And, in a rare instance in court
proceedings, Amesbury became
emotional after handing down

Amesbury told the families not

Croner said the stories identified
Joseph Sr. as a “target” in the inves-
tigation.
Armed government agents did
search Joseph’s business (Acu-
mark) and his home, the stories
stated, adding that the agents wore
building with weapons drawn.
Lewis, who now works as a
Times Leader police and court re-
porter, and Conmy, who is now a
Wilkes-Barre city police officer,
each testified that they knew the
unnamed sources, trusted them
and believed the information pro-
vided to be accurate.
Both said they had no knowl-
edge of the Josephs prior to writing
the stories and harbored no ani-
mosity toward either. They said
they discussed the use of the sourc-
es with their editors and permis-
sion was granted to use them and
the information provided. They
said they revealed the names of
their sources to the editors.
Lewis and Conmy said they nev-
er received a phone call from the Jo-
sephs or their legal counsel to com-
plain about the stories and they
were never asked to print a correc-
tion or retraction.
The trial continues today.

Noesi threw 5 2/3 innings of
one-run ball to lead Yankees
past Gwinnett.
By BEN BEITZEL
For the Times Leader
LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. —
For the first time this season,
Hector Noesi took the mound in
a regular routine.
It seemed to work.
The right-hander, making his
third start of the year for Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre threw 5 2/3
innings, allowing one run off
seven hits, walking one and
striking out four. He stranded
six runners in
the process.
His effort set
the tone for the
Yankees 3-1 win
over the Gwin-
nett Braves.
3 Noesi gave up
two lead-off sin-
YANKEES gles in the first
inning and de-
1 spite to straight
BRAVES strikeouts,
couldn’t get out
of the inning
scoreless.
Gwinnett’s Ed
Lucas, who homered Sunday,
singled with two outs to knock
in the game’s first run.
But the Yankees answered.
Gwinnett starter
Thompson threw nine straight
Jacob
balls with two outs in the sec-
ond inning, loading the base for
the Yankees. When he did find
the strike zone, Greg Golson
knocked a ball back up the mid-
dle to score Jordan Parraz and
Ramiro Pena and give Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre a 2-1 lead.
That lead was all Noesi need-
ed as he shut down the G-Braves
the rest of his outing, leaving
the game in line for his first win.
The 5 2/3 innings were the long-
est so far for Noesi, who only
pitched three innings in his pre-
vious start at Charlotte. He
needed 71 pitches to get
through the three innings, al-
lowing two runs off three hits
and walking a career-high five in
the no-decision at Charlotte.
The April 27 outing was his
first since April 9. Noesi joined
the New York bullpen when Luis
Ayala went on the disabled list
April 13. He never appeared for
the big club during his eight-day
stint. When he returned to
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre he again
sat for five more days before his
first ill-fated start.
But then came Monday and
his efficient 85 pitch outing.
He put a few runners on base,
but the defense helped out.
A strong throw from right fiel-
der Parraz nailed Gwinnett’s
Jordan Schafer at the plate as he
tried to score from second in the

Pittston Area shortstop Josh Savokinas did it all against Dallas on Monday,

NFL LABOR DISPUTE
League asks for the lockout to be upheld
By DAVE CAMPBELL
AP Sports Writer
MINNEAPOLIS — Its players again
barred from coming to work, the NFL told
a federal appeals court Monday it believes
the appeal over whether the lockout is le-
gal can “readily be resolved” during the
offseason.
The NFL filed a brief with the 8th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis, argu-
ing that the lockout should remain on
hold permanently while the two sides
hash their conflict out in court.

Overtime loss in Charlotte
has WBS facing 2-1 deficit
By TOM VENESKY
tvenesky@timesleader.com
CHARLOTTE, NC – The Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton Penguins played solid
for two periods during their Game 3 East
Division finals matchup against the Char-
lotte Checkers.
But playing well for 40 minutes isn’t
good enough when it comes to the post-
season, as the Penguins allowed the
Checker’s to score a game-tying goal in
the second period that eventually led to
overtime.
And that led to a game-winning goal
from Charlotte forward Brett Sutter at
5:40 of overtime as the Penguins fell to
the Checkers 2-1.
It was the first road loss for the Pen-
guins this postseason as they now spot
Charlotte a 2-1 series lead.

them come back in the second (period),”

hold temporarily last week. The owners
reinstated the lockout a few hours later,
and they want Nelson’s order eventually
overturned altogether.
In an 18-page brief, the NFL again ar-
gued that Nelson shouldn’t have jurisdic-
tion in the labor fight. The league’s attor-
neys have repeatedly cited the Norris-La-
Guardia Act, a Depression-era law they
say bars federal courts from interfering in
labor disputes on either side.
They again argued that lifting the lock-
out would result in the irreparable harm
necessary to deserve a stay of Nelson’s or-
der.

OPINION
A goalie who’s
keeping them
all in Check
T
he hard-shooting, high-scoring
Charlotte Checkers typically
intimidate even the most gifted
goaltenders with their explosive offen-
sive prowess.
They only made Brad Thiessen
better.
He looked real good in the regular
season, setting the Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton franchise record with 35
victories while he was named the
co-winner of the Harry “Hap” Holmes
Memorial Award as the AHL’s out-
standing goaltender.
But Thiessen appeared pretty beat-
able when playoffs began, surren-
dering the winning goal in two tight
games against Norfolk.
Then Charlotte came to town.
The Checkers feature six scorers
who romped through the regular
season with over 20 goals, and scored
265 times – the second-most in the
league.
They didn’t get one against Thies-
sen on Saturday night.
He stopped 34 shots in Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton’s series-evening 3-0
victory, becoming the fifth Penguins
goalie to post a playoff shutout.
It is why the Penguins believe they
have an advantage over anyone they
play in the postseason, no matter
what happened during Monday’s
Game 3 in Charlotte.
“It starts with Brad,” Penguins
captain Ryan Craig was saying after
Thiessen inspired the Penguins with
his perfection in Game 2. “Brad was
solid back there, as he has been all
year. When your goaltender is your
best penalty killer, you stand a good
chance.”
Prospects of winning a Calder Cup
seemed bleak for the Penguins when
the postseason started.
Thiessen wasn’t bad in the first
round, allowing little more than 1.8
goals a game. But he came out of on
the wrong end of 2-1 and 2-0 scores
in the first two games, and even he
had to wonder if his magic was wear-
ing off.
But he was thrilling for the rest of
that series, snatching a couple of
one-goal games down in Norfolk
while sparking Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
to a 4-2 series victory.
“Like our team, he got better as the
series went on,” Penguins coach John
Hynes said.
“I think that’s a good assessment,”
Thiessen said Saturday. “Last series
was the first time I’d really been in a
seven-game playoff series for awhile.”
He’s a 25-year-old kid from Alder-
grove, British Columbia who hadn’t
previously faced the pressure of play-
ing in so many one-goal AHL playoff
games, especially when machine gun-
like shots keep flying at you.
“It’s fun when you’re getting shots
like that,” Thiessen said. “As a goal-
tender, you’ve got to make sure you’re
sharp.”
He knows what to expect now.
The Checkers came at him with
screens and power plays, with odd-
angled shots and tricky rebound
swats. Thiessen stopped every one of
them.
“He’s unbelievable,” Penguins win-
ger Brett Sterling said. “What can you
say about him? He’s a great goalten-
der.”
That’s great for the Penguins gain-
ing peace of mind.
Especially Thiessen’s taking a piece
of the action away from the Checkers.
He can anticipate more nights like
Saturday, when a team such as Char-
lotte keeps flooding the crease with
flying pucks.
“I think you know, as a goaltender,
you’re going to have to make some
saves,” Thiessen said.
He may not have to make all of
them. But one marvelous night shows
everyone he can.

News of bin Laden’s death left Valentine numb on air in TV booth

By NEIL BEST
Newsday
NEW YORK — Bobby Valen-
tine knew he would have to
weigh in at some point Sunday
night, given his personal history
and his coincidental presence on
national television when word
arrived of Osama bin Laden’s
death.
But that point did not come
until after he had had time to
digest the news and regain his
bearings.
“Sometimes you get numb,” he
said Monday, nine hours after
the conclusion of the Mets-Phil-
lies game he covered as an ESPN
O P I N I O N
analyst. “Ten years ago in Sep-
tember, I was numb for a long
time.
“When I got a text message
that said bin Laden was no long-
er with us, I went numb again. It
was a surreal feeling of going
back 10 years, hearing ’U-S-A’
being chanted and having a neck-
tie on, thinking I had to talk
about it.”
Eventually Valentine did, but
not until the 11th inning and
again at the end of the 14-inning
game.
When producer Tom Archer
and Mike McQuade, vice presi-
dent of event production, initial-
ly went to him, he declined.
For one thing, he had been
losing his voice all night from an
unrelated ailment. For another,
he said he was not prepared
emotionally to talk about it.
“When I heard it was con-
firmed, I got choked up,” he said.
“Tom Archer asked me how I was
doing to get on and I didn’t think
I would be presentable.”
Said McQuade: “We asked him
and he didn’t feel comfortable,
and I had no problem with that.”
Valentine is closely associated
with the aftermath of the Sept.
11, 2001, attacks, when he was “I remember the discussion of viewers “to remain diligent and

the Royals delivered the decid-

3-1, by scores of 25-22, 25-14,
21-25, 25-18.
The match was highlighted by
two of the top hitters in the
conference with Redeemer’s
Pete Alexis and Coughlin’s Mi-
chael Shmakov.
The 6-foot-11 Alexis used
height to his advantage against
the Crusaders – whose tallest
player is 6-3 – by blasting 32
kills and nine blocks.
Shmakov, who has been
known around the league as one
the fiercest hitters over the last
three seasons, led Coughlin
(8-3) with 20 kills of his own
and four service points.

for another big showdown on

“It was a tough game and we
expected it,” Holy Redeemer
coach Jack Kablick said. “Our
guys weren’t shaking (after the
Game 2 loss). We’ve played in
tournaments and lost games
and come back to win tourna-
ments.”
As the Royals had to come
from behind to win Game 1
because of trailing after the
midway point, 18-17, Alexis had

Report: Duerson had advanced brain damage

By HOWARD ULMAN
AP Sports Writer
BOSTON — Dave Duerson, a
former NFL player who commit-
tedsuicideinFebruary,had“mod-
erately advanced” brain damage
related to blows to the head, ac-
cording to the researcher who
made the diagnosis.
“It’s indisputable” that Duer-
son had chronic traumatic en-
cephalopathy, a disorder linked to
repeated brain trauma, Dr. Ann
McKee said Monday.
The findings were announced
as part of an effort conducted by
the Center for the Study of Trau-
matic Encephalopathy at Boston
University’s School of Medicine.
The CSTE Brain Bank has the
brains of more than 70 athletes
and military veterans, with foot-
ball players comprising more
than half of the athletes.
Duerson played safety in the
NFL for11seasons, seven with the
Chicago Bears, and was chosen
for four Pro Bowls before retiring
in 1993.
“Dave Duerson had classic pa-
thology of CTE and no evidence
ofanyotherdisease,”McKeesaid,
“and he has severe involvement of
all the (brain) structures that af-
fect things like judgment, inhib-
ition, impulse control, mood and
memory.”
The body of Duerson, who was
50, was found in Sunny Isles
Beach, Fla., on Feb. 17. He left a
note asking that his brain be given
to the NFL’s Brain Bank. He shot
himself in the chest, “presum-
ably” to preserve his brain for
study, said Chris Nowinski, co-di-
rector of the CSTE.
The other co-directors are
McKee, Dr. Robert Cantu and Dr.
Robert Stern.
Duerson’s case was “moderate-
ly advanced,” McKee said. “The li-
kelihood is that if he hadn’t had
the CTE, he wouldn’t have devel-
oped those symptoms that he was
experiencing at the end of his life
and perhaps he wouldn’t have
been compelled to end his life.”
Cantu said that such results
normally are published first, but
the Duerson family wanted them
released earlier. Duerson’s former
wife, daughter and three sons at-
tended the news conference.
“We have been given the gift of
closure,” said his son, Tregg. “We
accept this gift with great humili-
ty, as we are mindful of other fam-
ilies that have lost loved ones and
still bear the burden of unanswer-
ed questions.”
Duerson had at least 10 concus-
sions in his NFL career, according
to his family, and lost conscious-
ness during some. However, he
never was admitted to a hospital
for them, Stern said. But he said
it’s also important to address hits a league we will continue to sup-

and they were able to keep it
in,” Said Thiessen, who still had
a strong night in goal stopping
21 of 23 shots.
The Checkers got to their
game for the remainder of the
period as Charlotte transi-
tioned quickly through the neu-
tral zone and set up shop in the
Penguins end. The Checkers
outshot the Penguins 11-5 in the
period, but were unable to beat
Thiessen again, thanks to a de-
fense that blocked eight shots.
“The second period we took
it off the gas a little bit. It’s a
team you can’t let back into the
game,” Marshall said. The Pen-
guins stifled the Charlotte of-
fense in the third period, limit-
ing them to just two shots and
forcing their first trip to over-
time in the postseason.
And that’s when Sutter put a
quick end to things.
Checkers forward Zac Dalpe
dug the puck out along the
boards and skated behind the
Penguins net, where he sent a
pass to Sutter who was alone at
the corner. Sutter lined up a

“I didn’t see it come off his
3 Three Stars: 1. CHA, Brett Sutter (game-winning
stick,” Thiessen said. “It’s not
one you want to see go in, but it
was a good shot I guess.”
“They’re a good team and we can’t let them
come back in the second (period). The thing we
have to learn from this is we have to play a full
60 (minutes).”
The Penguins did have a few
positives to take from the game.
The penalty kill had another
stellar night, killing off all three
Charlotte power plays to extend
their penalty kill run to 10 for 10
dating back to Game 2.
But overall, according to
head coach John Hynes, Game
3 was an average effort by the
Penguins.
“We can’t be a fairly average
team,” he said. “We have to be a
team that’s on for 60 minutes.
“We didn’t play with a lot of
speed and we didn’t move our
feet. You can’t take away time
and space if you don’t skate.
That’s something we have to get
better at for Wednesday.”

Zito looking for third Kentucky Derby victory with favored Dialed In
By BETH HARRIS
AP Racing Writer
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Nick Zito
knows the good part of the Ken-
tucky Derby as a two-time win-
ner. He also knows the heart-
break of America’s greatest race.
Zito nearly joined fellow Hall
of Fame trainer Bob Baffert as a
three-time champ last year, when
Ice Box overcame traffic trouble
twice only to finish second, bea-
ten 21⁄2 lengths by Super Saver.
Now, after a winter of ups and
downs on the Derby trail, Zito is
back at Churchill Downs with
Dialed In, the likely favorite for
Saturday’s 137th Derby.
“There’s a little bit more pres-
sure when you’ve got the favor-
ite,” he said, standing trackside

Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. is recalling
one production lot of its blood thinner
Coumadin after finding an oversize
tablet.
The company says it tested a return-

more potent than expected. An exces-
sive dose of Coumadin, or warfarin,
could create an increased risk of bleed-
ing. The recall affects 5-milligram tab-
lets with an expiration date of Sept. 30,

9H49374A.
The New York drugmaker says pa-

not stop taking them, but should talk
to their pharmacist to find out if their
prescription was filled with tablets that
have been recalled.

WILKES-BARRE—Soaringgasprices,

and an ever-increasing national debt that’s

their concerns to one of their voices in

“He’s our U.S. senator and we want him

who started a bank gives him a unique per-
spective on issues impacting businesses.
Toomey said that in his brief stint in the
Senate, what he’s witnessed is worse than
he had imagined going in.
“It’s hard to overstate the train wreck
that is going on in Washington,” Toomey
said. “What business do you know that op-
erates without a budget? The corner pizza
shop has a budget.”
He took aim at the Obama administra-
tion for policies that have helped make the
problem worse and said spending is out of
controlandthingsareonpacetogetworse.
“You can’t borrow and spend your way
to prosperity. It just doesn’t work,” Too-
mey said.

ry agencies including the Food and Drug
Administration, the Environmental Pro-
tection Agency and the National Labor Re-
lations Board, all of which have been “very
aggressive and in some cases hostile to
business.”
“It’s outrageous and we’ve got to push
longer.
In addition, the 2012 version of
the CR-V small SUV will be de-
layed by at least a month this fall.
To make up for shortages, Honda
will keep making the 2011 ver-
sion.
Both vehicles are made in
North America, but like other au-
tomakers, Honda must cut pro-
duction because it’s running low
on Japanese imports of chips,
sensors and other parts. Japanese
plants that supply them were
damaged by the March 11 earth-
quake or hampered by power out-
ages.
Nearly every major auto com-
pany has had to idle factories due
to shortages. Honda, Toyota Mo-
tor Corp. and Nissan Motor Co.
have been hit particularly hard.

Micro-scale surveillance the best way to nab future bin Ladens

Energy, a major player in the Marcellus
Shale, says it took a $205 million first-
quarter loss after marking down the
value of derivatives contracts used to
guard against rising energy costs.
The loss was 32 cents per share. A
year earlier it had a profit of $732 mil-
lion, or $1.14 per share.
Revenue fell 42 percent to $1.61
billion because Chesapeake Energy
Corp. marked down the value of some
so-called hedges by $725 million. The
losses are not locked in yet, so they
could grow or shrink. The biggest loss
was on oil derivatives. Oil futures pric-
es rose by about 17 percent in the quar-
ter.
Excluding special items, Chesapeake
earned $518 million, or 75 cents per
share.

NORMALLY, MY
column is a bit more
“consumer” oriented.
But given the latest
news, I think a segue
into something a bit
more pertinent to
current events is
warranted.
By now, you’ve heard the big news:
Osama bin Laden is dead. If this is
news to you, you should head back to
the “A” section of this paper, because
you’ve missed a bit of extremely im-
portant news.
Americans were out in the streets
late Sunday night into early Monday
morning chanting “USA, USA” repeat-
edly and waving American flags all
around. And there’s nothing wrong
with that – we have neutralized a dan-
gerous, implacable enemy; someone
responsible for the deaths of thou-
sands of Americans and countless
others in countries around the globe.
But we need to be asking ourselves
some hard questions, like why, with all
of the data and technology at our fin-

gertips, did it take 10 years to find bin
Laden? What happens now? In the
eyes of al-Qaida, we’ve created a mar-
tyr — and there’s a valid concern that
this will provoke another attack.
America has some extremely im-
pressive military technology at its
disposal. Predator drones. Satellites
literally encompass the globe, provid-
ing real-time surveillance. If you’ve
seen Google Maps, you know you can
see your car in your driveway, and in
some cases, you can see people as well.
And that’s just the civilian level snap-
shots.
The full capabilities of a military
surveillance satellite are, of course,
classified. But I wouldn’t be surprised
if they could read off a Post-it note you
held in your hand. We have instantane-
ous information transfer to any point
on the globe, and we had all of these
capabilities 10 years ago as well, and

we still couldn’t find him.
Why? Because, for all of our vaunted
technology, and all of the advanced
capabilities we have, bin Laden, and
terrorists like him, know how to leave
a very small footprint. A satellite can’t
see you if you don’t go outside. You
can’t be tracked to a given location if
you aren’t seen entering it.
I would argue that the military
needs to focus more on micro-scale
surveillance instead of a Predator-
drone sized vehicle, something the size him at ndelorenzo@timesleader.com.
of a bird, or maybe even smaller still.
And a company in California has
done just that.
AeroVironment, a company that
produces unmanned drones for the
military, has developed a robotic flying
machine that is camouflaged to look
like a hummingbird. Currently, it’s a
rather loud hummingbird, with
twitchy, uncoordinated movements.
But devices on this scale, with some
development, might one day pass
unnoticed among crowds, and even
enter buildings.
Granted, it can’t carry the payload of
a predator drone, but I don’t think
anyone will ever mistake a Predator
Recon Drone for a bird.
Given that today’s warfare is trend-
ing toward urban environments and
guerrilla-style combat, these tiny de-
vices might one day make the differ-
ence between a 10-year manhunt and a
24-hour search.

Doctors seeing rise in patients with seasonal allergies
By JEFF SEIDEL
Detroit Free Press
Te’nika Prince knew spring had arrived
when her nose started running, her eyes
got puffy, her head hurt and she felt mi-
serable.
She has been struggling with allergies
her entire life.
“I would have to keep tissue with me all
the time,” says Prince, 35, of Westland,
Mich. “When it starts, you don’t want to
do anything. You just want to lie around.”
For several years, Prince has noticed
that her allergies are showing up earlier
in the spring and lasting longer in the
fall, a phenomenon that has been observ-
ed across the northern U.S.

mentioned Vicks

recommend it. Why
not? — C.P., Atlanta, Ga.
A: While a 3-4 month course of an
antifungal pill like Sporanox or Lamisil

rate of between 63-76 percent, it can be
expensive and does carry a small risk
of liver toxicity. The prescription top-
ical antifungal nail lacquer Penlac has a
published cure rate of 34 percent. I did
not recommend Vicks VapoRub in my
previous article because it was an un-
tested home remedy. You’ll be pleased

Some people with allergies
can be treated with over-the-

can also prescribe other aller-

Calandra Stuart said Cedar-
ian is now taking prescription
allergy medications.
“He looks better,” she said.
“He just started taking the
medicine. He’s doing OK.”
Having an allergy increases
your risk of other medical
problems, including asthma,
eczema, sinusitis, infections of
the ears or lungs, another al-
lergy, fungal complications in
the sinuses or lungs and ana-
phylaxis, which is a life-threat-
ening allergic reaction.
For Prince, congestion from
allergies led to ear troubles.
“According to my ear, nose

says, “I was getting ear infec-

able to go out around the
things I’m allergic to and not
have to suffer as much. … I feel
much better, way better.”
Even though more people
have allergies and the allergy
season might be growing long-
er, that doesn’t mean that any-
one has to suffer more, Misiak
stresses.
“Those symptoms can be
controlled and can be treated,
so that even though a person
does have allergies, they can
still have their symptoms man-
aged and under control, so
they can do the things they
want to do,” Misiak said.
She said one of the most re-
warding things about her job is
“when someone is able to start
feeling better, breathing bet-
ter, able to do all the activities
they enjoy without being limit-
ed by the symptoms they were
experiencing.”

Anything Worth Having is Worth Working For....
Several years ago, I joined a local gym. I worked out for 1-1 1/2 hours, 5-6 days a
week. When the year was over, I felt more flexible and my cardio improved. I joined
to improve those but I had also joined to lose weight and I did! One whole pound,
you read it right - One WHOLE POUND in a year.
Just recently I joined another local gym, CLOUD9 PERSONAL TRAINING, in
Drums. I joined for the same reasons, flexibility, cardio and weight loss. It has been about
90 days and I am more flexible, my cardio is better and my confidence and strength are
improving daily. I am still working out about 1-1 1/2 hours a day, 5-6 days a week. 90 days
is about 1/4 of a year. So based on my prior experience, I should have lost a 1/4 of a pound
but I haven’t. I’ve lost 20lbs! You read it right, 20LBS.
Anything worth having is worth working for.....
So stop playing around. Get serious. Stop in and see what Cloud9 has to offer. I know
what a difference it has made for me.

HEAD OFF ALLERGY
ATTACKS BEFORE
THEY HAPPEN
Dr. Milind Pansare, a pediatric
immunologist at Children’s
Hospital of Michigan, offered
some tips on how to minimize
allergies.
• Stay inside in the morning.
“Pollen is highest in early
morning to midday, so maybe
outdoor activities can be limit-
ed during that time.”
• Start taking allergy medi-
cation before symptoms
arrive. “If people start taking
their medication two or three
weeks before the allergy sea-
son — what we call priming —
they might have less symptoms
during the season,” Pansare
said.
• If possible, use air condi-
tioning at home or work.
• Get allergy shots. “They are
a proven benefit for patients
who have seasonal allergies,”
Pansare said. “They don’t work
immediately, but they do give
an immense change in quality
of life for the patient.”

Cats and dogs are at higher risk of developing diabetes, report says
By LINDY WASHBURN
The Record (Hackensack N.J.)
Diabetes is on the rise — but humans
aren’t the only ones suffering. Diabetes
diagnoses are rising at an even faster
rate among dogs and cats than their hu-
man companions, according to a nation-
al analysis of pet health released April
26.
The 2011 “State of Pet Health” report
is based on data from more than 2.5 mil-
lion dogs and cats that visited Banfield
Pet Hospital facilities in 43 states.
“This kind of data has never been
available before,” Dr. Jeffrey Klausner, a
veterinarian and chief medical officer
for the Banfield Pet Hospital chain,
based in Portland, Ore. “We want to
share it with professionals and pet own-
ers.”
Nationally, diabetes rates increased
by nearly a third among dogs in the last
four years and by 16 percent among cats.
It is much more common among cats.
By comparison, human diagnoses of dia-
betes rose 10 percent over the same peri-
od.

ing rates of obesity.
“We have increasing obesity in dogs
and cats, just like in humans. It’s no mys-
tery how that occurs: overfeeding and
lack of exercise.”
How can you tell if your pet has dia-

betes? The most common signs are ex-
cessive urination, excessive thirst, and
weight loss, despite a good appetite, ac-
cording to veterinarians. Once diag-
nosed, managing this chronic disease
can be time consuming, usually includ-
ing twice-daily insulin injections, a
change in diet and regular monitoring
by a vet.
“Millions of pets are getting insulin
twice a day,” he said. “Dogs can be dia-
betic for years and do just fine.” Cats can
be somewhat harder to treat because
they are smaller, and harder to find for
the daily injections.
The best bet: Make sure Buster and
Tiger get enough exercise and don’t be-
come overweight.
Overall, the most common problem
among the animals was dental disease,
the report said.
Problems with the teeth and gums af-
fected more than three-quarters of dogs
and two-thirds of cats, with symptoms
ranging from gum inflammation and
tartar buildup to tooth loss. When se-
vere, oral problems can lead to bacterial
infections that spread through the blood
to other organs and may cause chronic
disease or organ failure.
Other common health problems
among companion animals, according
to the report:
• Fleas and ticks. Tick infestation car-
ries the risk of Lyme disease. The rate of
flea infestation has also climbed stead-
ily.
• Internal parasites. Most pets show
no signs of infection, although puppies
and kittens can become noticeably ill.
Some of these parasites can be transmit-
ted from animals to humans.
• Otitis externa, or an inflammation
of the outer ear canal. This was the most
common diagnosis among dogs and cats
after dental disease. Prevention in-
cludes regular ear cleaning.
Another surprise in the data, Klausn-
er said, was the rising popularity of Chi-
huahuas and other small dogs, like Shih
Tzus and Yorkshire terriers, as larger
breeds like Labrador retrievers and Ger-
man shepherds decline in popularity.
That may be due to changing life-
styles, as an older generation of pet own-
ers with suburban homes and large
yards downsizes and focuses on travel,
and younger, apartment-dwelling pet
owners buy breeds that take up less
space, the report suggested. Overall, the
top five breeds seen at the 770 Banfield
facilities were Labrador retrievers, Chi-
huahuas, Shih Tzus, Yorkshire terriers,
and pit bulls.
Smaller breeds are more prone to
both diabetes and dental disease, the re-
port said.
“What we need to do in veterinary
medicine is what they haven’t done very
well in human medicine,” Klausner said.
“Focus on prevention.”
Pets should be examined by a vet
twice a year, he said.
Cats tend to be seen by veterinarians
much less frequently than dogs, he
noted, but “It’s really important to bring
them to the vet, too.”

Kahler does not appear today.

painful periods, not the amount

ATTENTION DALLAS TOWNSHIP RESIDENTS

TONIGHT!!!!
PLEASE HELP US PROTECT DALLAS TOWNSHIP by
DEMONSTRATING YOUR OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE
CONCERNING NATURAL GAS ACTIVITY

WHERE: Dallas Township Municipal Building

WHEN: TUESDAY, May 3 at 7:30PM

WHY: THREE SIMPLE REASONS -

1. THE PRESENT ORDINANCE IS MORE PROTECTIVE of DALLAS

TOWNSHIP

2. THE PRESENT ORDINANCE PROHIBITS HAZARDOUS

SUBSTANCE ACTIVITIES IN MOST ZONES… THE PROPOSED
ORDINANCE LOOKS TO REPEAL THIS PROTECTION.

3. THE PRESENT ORDINANCE REQUIRES ALL NATURAL GAS

ACTIVITIES WHICH ARE NOT PERMITTED OR PROHIBITED TO GET
A SPECIAL EXCEPTION PERMIT vs. THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE
ONLY COVERS A FEW ACTIVITIES AND PERMITS THEM
SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS!

If you feel strongly about any natural gas activities (i.e. pipelines,
compressor stations or meter stations) taking place in your township,
now is the time to act. This is your last chance! If this ordinance pass-
es, it will make it entirely too easy for the gas companies to get their
foot in the door!

HOW: SHOW UP AND HOLD A SIGN ASKING THE BOARD of

SUPERVISORS TO,
"PLEASE DON’T PASS THE ORDINANCE!

PLEASE VOTE TO WITHDRAW, DEFER, AMEND, or

DENY THE ORDINANCE"

WHAT FOR?: BETTER PROTECT OUR TOWN AND ITS FUTURE !

Woman secretly in love wants coaching on what she should do now
Dear Abby: I am
a woman who is in
love with my former
high school coach.
I don’t know if I
should tell him. I
first realized I loved
him about a year and
a half after I met him. We had a close
relationship, but it was not inappro-
priate. He is 13 years older than I am.
After two years of getting to know
him and forming a strong friendship,
he moved across the country for
work. Since then, I have entered col-
lege and we see each other only on
holidays and in the summer. Every
time I see him, we go back to our nor-
mal, wonderful relationship as though
nothing has changed.
I was in denial about my feelings

for him. I told myself it was puppy
love and couldn’t work out because of
the age difference and the distance.
But after four years of pining for him,
and several failed romances with oth-
ers, I realize I deeply love him. We
have a unique connection, but he has
a reputation as a “player,” so I can’t
be sure he feels the same. I don’t
want to ruin what we have, but I want
more. Should I reveal my feelings?
— Hurting Badly in New England
Dear Hurting Badly: You and your
former coach are both adults. I see
no reason why you shouldn’t tell him

how you feel. However, if he responds
affirmatively, please be careful about
how you proceed with this relation-
ship. Men with a craving for variety
can be very unreliable.
Dear Abby: I am in my mid-50s, di-
vorced for many years, and have two
grown children. I began seeing a de-
lightful gentleman about three years
ago. (I’ll call him Jack.) He was dat-
ing several women at the time, and af-
ter a few months, I made it clear that
we would have to have an exclusive
relationship or I could not go on see-
ing him. Jack reluctantly agreed and
kept his promise.
Four months ago, I demanded
a commitment from him. I knew I
loved him and wanted to spend the
rest of my life with him. He told me
S TUESDAY, MAY 3, 2011 PAGE 7C
he loved me, but marriage is out of
the question — and if that is the only
way I’d stay with him, we have to say
goodbye.
I think I have made a mistake, Ab-
by. What are your thoughts on this?
— Depressed in Des Moines
Dear Depressed: Since marriage is
important to you, you were right to
lay it on the line to him. His unwill-
ingness, regardless of how nicely put,
to take your relationship to another
level means he wasn’t as committed
to you as you were to him.
Dear Abby: May I offer a suggestion
concerning elderly people?
When writing to an older adult,
every so often include some labels
bearing your name and address. This

forest, the continent they are on
and the curve of the planet.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re
not sure how far to take an idea.
There are expenses involved, and
you’re not sure whether it would
be worthwhile to incur those
expenses. The answer is: not yet.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Staying
on course will be a challenge.
Your mind fires in many direc-
tions at once. Your social interac-
tion may feel unfocused.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). There’s
something you could do better if
you had formal instruction in it.
The training is not as difficult to
get, time consuming or costly as
you think it will be. Go for it!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There is a
person who goes in after you
clean, polish and present all the
work you’ve done. Honor and
praise this often-unsung helper.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If you
have thoughts that are inappro-
priate or prejudiced, keep them
to yourself and don’t worry too
much. This is only a sign that
you have let down your guard
and are in a highly creative
mode.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). What a
bit of fun you’ll get into today.
Some might even call it trouble,
and they wouldn’t be far off,
either. But it’s the kind of fun/
trouble that bubbles up and then
recedes just as quickly.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You
might take certain shortcuts
when you’re walking alone, but
CROSSWORD
CMYK
makes it easier for them to respond
and for the post office to decipher
your address.
I have an elderly friend who has se-
vere arthritis. When we correspond, it
takes me at least 20 minutes to make
out what she has written. The labels
have helped us both.
— Independence, Mo., Reader
Dear Reader: I’m pleased to pass
the word along. Thank you for the
suggestion.

Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box

you wouldn’t bring others down
the same potentially treacherous
path — too risky. Your protective
nature emerges tonight.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
You’ve worked hard to achieve
a certain standard in your work,
and now you need to work
just as hard to market it. The
response you receive will be
directly correlated to the num-
ber of times you put yourself out
there.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You
infuse your activities with the
qualities that make you shine:
attitude, vision and creativity. A
little nuisance project could be
the start of a huge enterprise.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll
have double the energy of yes-
terday, so don’t let it go to waste.
Go beyond what you did yester-
day. If you walked a mile, walk
two. If you read an article, finish
the whole magazine.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll
benefit by trying to see the
other side of an equation. For
instance, maybe it’s not the
people involved in a problem
who are to blame for it, but
the situation and environment
they are in.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 3).
You have skills, and the next 10
weeks bring several opportuni-
ties to apply them and gain
maximum personal and financial
satisfaction. July brings the
attainment of a treasured pos-
session. Domestic life gains fresh
energy in August. You’ll attract
fans in September. You share a
special connection with Scorpio
and Cancer people. Your lucky
numbers are: 7, 40, 18, 43 and 14.
