Some
lucky person walked into a Pub-
lix supermarket in suburban
Florida over the past few days
and bought a ticket now worth
an estimated $590.5 million
the highest Powerball jackpot in
history.
But it wasnt Matthew Bogel.
On Sunday, he loaded groceries
into his car after shopping at the
Publix. He shook his head when
asked about the jackpot.
Its crazy, isnt it? he said.
Thats so much money.
Its an amount too high for
many to imagine. Compare it
to the budget for the city of
Zephyrhills: This years gure is
just more than $49 million. The
winning Powerball jackpot is 12
times that.
Whoever has the ticket hadnt
come forward as of Sunday after-
noon.
This would be the sixth Flor-
ida Powerball winner and right
now, its the sole winner of the
largest-ever Powerball jackpot,
Florida Lottery executive Cindy
OConnell told The Associated
Press. Were delighted right
now that we have the sole win-

WILKES-BARRE The
muddy paw marks remain on
the outside of Ben Cards back
door from when his neighbors
dogs chased himinto his house.
He still wont go into his
backyard for fear of the animals
crawling under a fence and
menacing him as they did two
years ago.
Theyre ruining my life,
basically, said Card, 43, a dis-
abled veteran living on Darling
Street.
I dont want the dogs in my
yard, he said.
The garden he planted of ap-
ple trees, blueberry bushes and
vegetables is overgrown with
weeds and high grass.
Card said he was bitten by
the pit bull on his foot and at-
tacked by the Rottweiler that
he ended up shooting and kill-
ing on Sept 11, 2011.
Police reported the dog was
shot several times.
Card said he was treated at
the Department of Veterans Af-
fairs Medical Center because
the bite penetrated his work
boot into his left big toe. He
still wears the boots.
He said he has attempted to
have the city animal enforce-
ment, the state dog warden and
police intervene.
Nothing, he said was the
response. Nobody wants to do
Neighbors dogs ruined life, Darling St. man says
Ben Card says he cant tend
to his garden in Wilkes-Barre

Almost picture perfect
WASHINGTON A top
White House adviser insisted
Sunday that President Barack
Obama learned the Internal
Revenue Service had targeted
tea party groups only when it
came out in the news while Re-
publicans con-
tinued to press
the administra-
tion for more
answers.
Trying to
move past a
c ha l l e ngi ng
week that put
the White
House on the
defensive, se-
nior adviser
Dan Pfeiffer
was scheduled
to appear on
ve Sunday
news shows to
repeat the ad-
ministrations position that no
senior ofcials were involved
in the decision to give tea party
groups extra scrutiny. Pfeiffers
appearances were unlike to qui-
et GOP critics, who have seized
on the revelations as proof that
Obama used the IRS to go after
his political enemies.
The deputy secretary of the
treasury was made aware of just
the fact that the investigation
was beginning last year, Pfeiffer
said. But no one in the White
House was aware.
Meanwhile, Sen. Rand Paul,
R-Ky., suggested there was a
written policy to target conser-
vative groups opposing the pres-
ident, but when pressed could

Administration says no senior

WILKES-BARRE When
Nancy Swiger photographed a
tulip in her neighbors yard she
knew it was right for the Fine

Her Textured Tulip photo
won rst place and she won
best of show in the estas jur-

I entered it into another
photo contest and it wasnt ac-
cepted, said Swiger, of Wilkes-

She sold it too, capping off a
successful weekend.
The 58th esta held on Public
Square began Thursday under
sunny skies and ended Sunday
under threatening skies as sev-
eral hundred people listened to
recording artist Marshall Cren-
shaw playing a solo show in the
bandshell area.
He didnt disappoint with his
performance by the reaction of
the audience.
Hey, hello, he said during
his sound check, which drew
applause. Ed and Geraldine from Montrose entertained the people at
the Fine Arts Fiesta with folk music on Sunday on Public

THINGS
YOU NEED
TO KNOW
THIS WEEK
WILKES-BARRE Former
Luzerne County Sheriff Carl
Zawatski who died last week
was remembered for his profes-
sionalismby people who worked
with him.
Zawatski, 79, a Democrat,
served as elected sheriff from
1996 to 2000. He was hired as
chief deputy in 2008 and re-
tired from the
position in
2011. He died
at home on
Thursday.
It was in his
deputy role
that former
Commissioner
Steve Urban
worked with him.
Carl was like a rock over
there, Urban said Sunday night.
They ended their roles in
county government around the
same time, he said. Zawatski
retired and the commissioners
were replaced when the home
rule charter took effect in 2012.
Urban had been a longtime Re-
publican, but switched to Demo-
crat.
Urban recalled Zawatski as
accessible, knowledgeable and
professional.
Carl was one you could pick
up the phone and work with.
He was always there to lend a
hand, Urban said.
Carl loved and respected the
uniform, he said, adding his
condolences to the family.
Zawatskis term as sheriff was
not without controversy.
He was under investigation
for a car crash allegedly involv-
ing his daughter Heather, a dep-
uty sheriff, when he ran for re-
election in 1999. Zawatski said
he, not is daughter, was behind
the wheel of the car that crashed
in Wilkes-Barre while avoiding
a dog. There were no charges
led, but the crash likely cost
Zawatski the election won by
Republican challenger Barry
Stankus.
When he was appointed
sheriff in 2010, John Gilligan, a
Democrat, chose Zawatski as his
chief deputy.
They had worked together in
lawenforcement and had known
each other for 40 years, Gilligan
said. Gilligan was the police
chief of Wyoming and Zawatski
had been with the Plains Town-
ship Police Department.
I picked him because hes a
man of high moral standards
and he had great integrity, Gil-
ligan said. He commanded re-
spect, but he gave respect.
Gilligan said Zawatski had
been ill at the time of his death.
I cant say enough about
him, Gilligan said.

Getting there is getting a
little easier with an online
service matching drivers and
riders for the commute to and
from work.
Rides2Work.com launched
in September and more than
500 people in Northeastern
Pennsylvania are using the
service, said its founder Chris
Hackett.
It aims to connect people
in places not served by public
transportation with a way to
get to back and forth to work.
Drivers can earn money from
the prices they set for their
riders. People who dont own
a vehicle can hold a steady job
and earn income to support
themselves and their families,
Hackett explained.
Its one of those challenges
in the stafng business weve
faced for years, said Hackett
who also owns OneSource
Stafng Solutions and i2M
manufacturing in the Crest-
wood Industrial Park in Moun-
tain Top.
The website has gone
through two revisions, making
the third version much more
user friendly for smartphone
users, the primary tool for
communicating between the
parties.
A user creates a prole on
the website, providing infor-
mation about themselves in-
cluding a photo, gender pref-
erence of rider, work schedule,
character and reliability refer-
ences and employment veri-
cation. The prole systemauto-
matically matches a driver with
a rider near them. They can
communicate with one another
by email or text before riding.
Theres also a messaging tool
on the website, Hackett said.
He said its very similar to
car pooling, but the users live
close to each other, may not
know each other and work in
the same industrial park.
The service opens up a wide
community from which users
can connect, he said.
We think this is a real great
community tool, he said.
The service is free, but users
can charge for the rides.
A pricing system was
pulled, Hackett said, because
the user community wanted
to have the ability to set their
own rates.
People from a variety of
elds and a wide age range use
the system. Younger people,
particularly those who would
have relied on their parents
for rides, are among the users,
Hackett said.
The service also has a green
benet, because 97 percent of
the people who commute to
work go it alone, he said.
The income earned from
the service is income-tax free,
Hackett added, as long as the
earnings do not exceed the
yearly cost of vehicle owner-
ship.
EXETER A Plains Town-
ship man was arraigned Satur-
day for charges of theft by de-
ception, court documents say.
George Poplawski, 41, alleg-
edly failed to meet terms of a
contract with Matthew Stuka
to convert a Harland Street
house into a two-unit apart-
ment, the police complaint
says.
Stuka, paid $73,000 to
Poplawski during nine months
for work that was never com-
pleted. Stuka terminated the
job in October last year, three
months after the job was
proposed to be nished and
Poplawski stopped answering
his calls, the complaint says.
Upon inspection, Stuka
found Poplawskis crews had
completed minimal work with
the wrong materials; some
of them were old. Stuka had
paid Poplawski for new sup-
plies that could not be found
and construction permits that
were never acquired, the com-
plaint says.
Poplawski did not offer em-
ployee time records or pur-
chase receipts for the project.
Poplawski was charged
with felony counts of theft by
deception and deceptive busi-
ness practices, and jailed for
lack of $25,000 bail.
A pretrial hearing is sched-
uled for Wednesday.

BI L L BOARD MUS I C AWARDS
AP PHOTOS
Host Tracy Morgan, above, and Selena Gomez, below, perform at the Billboard Music Awards at
the MGM Grand Garden Arena on Sunday in Las Vegas.
Taylor Swift takes 8 trophies
Another day, another domina-
tion for Taylor Swift: She was
the red hot winner at the Bill-
board Music Awards.
Swift won eight of 11 awards,
including top artist and top Bill-
board 200 album for Red. She
told the crowd: You are the lon-
gest and best relationship I ever
had.
She also had a colorful perfor-
mance of her hit 22 start-
ing backstage and working her
way to the main stage on the
back of a bike with help from a
dozen background dancers and
a urry of red balloons.
Justin Bieber also performed
twice and was also a mul-
tiple winner with three awards,
including top male artist, social
artist and the fan-voted mile-
stone award, beating out Swift
and Bruno Mars. When accept-
ing the latter where boos
were heard he alluded to the
tumultuous weeks hes had in
the public eye.
Im 19 years old; I think Im
doing a pretty good job. And
basically from my heart I really
just want to say it should really
be about the music, it should
be about the craft that Im mak-
ing. This is not a gimmick, he
said. Im an artist and I should
be taken seriously and all this
other bull should not be spo-
ken.
Bieber performed with
will.i.am and solo when he sang
Take You in leather pants, a
leather vest and a black shirt
that had one sleeve, as blue la-
ser lights beamed.
Miguel, too, had a show-stop-
ping performance, though he
seemed to kick a fan when he
jumped over the crowd while
singing his hit Adorn. The
R&B singer seemed to have
landed part of his body on one
woman, who walked away, and
kicked another, who held her
head low.
Maroon 5 and fun. were also
nominated for 11 awards and
walked away with one win each
in pre-telecast announcements.
Gotye and Rihanna had the sec-
ond-most wins with four awards
each.
But the awards show, airing
live from MGM Grand Garden
Arena in Las Vegas on ABC, is
less about the trophies which
reect success on the Billboard
charts and more about the
performances. Selena Gomez
sang her seductive new hit,
Come & Get It, while Chris
Brown danced around the stage
to his latest single, Fine Chi-
na, though his voice began to
crack during the performance.
Duo Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
also performed their massive
hit, Thrift Shop, which won
top rap song.
First and foremost, gotta
thank Goodwill, gotta thank
Value Village, Macklemore said
to laughs.
Mars and his band kicked
off the show in silky red suits
that matched their silky dance
moves, with bright gold disco
balls hanging above them dur-
ing a performance of the upbeat
and old-school avored Trea-
sure.
Nicki Minaj won the rst
award in the live telecast for top
rap artist, beating out Drake,
Flo Rida, Pitbull and Psy.
I denitely did not expect
this one, she said, wearing a
bright red dress.

$70.6M for Trek falls short of hopes
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES Star
Trek: Into Darkness had a
$70.6 million domestic launch
from Friday to Sunday, a debut
thats lower than the studios
expectations.
Its predecessor, 2009s Star
Trek, opened with $75.2 mil-
lion.
Since premiering Wednes-
day and expanding Thursday
to general cinemas, Into
Darkness has pulled in $84.1
million, well below distributor
Paramounts initial forecast of
$100 million. The lm added
$40 million overseas.
WILKES-BARRE Recovery
was the word of the day Sunday at the
12th annual National Alliance on Men-
tal Illness Walk.
This years theme was Walk today,
recovery every day.
Approximately 300 gathered at the
Guard Insurance parking lot Sunday
for the walk across the Market Street
Bridge to attend a mental health fair
at Kirby Park.
Participants clad in uorescent
green T-shirts that read Recovery
lauded NAMI for its support of those
challenged by mental illness and their
families. They also celebrated recov-
ery and enjoyed socializing with other
participants. One in four people have
been personally affected by mental ill-
ness, Joe Fedak, Warrior Run, said.
Those are the people we want to
reach and encourage. Fedak empha-
sized the purpose of NAMI and other
community organizations in assisting
those with mental illness. He credited
the family-to-family program, the In
Our Own Voice Program and support
groups with carrying the message to
the community and enriching the lives
of those who suffer. Beth Hollinger, di-
rector of crisis services at Community
Counseling Services, Wilkes-Barre,
said the walk and the organization
help spread the message that recov-
ery is not just a possibility, its a real-
WILKES-BARRE TWP. Guest
speaker Anne Thompson, NBC
News chief environmental affairs
correspondent, told members of the
Kings College Class of 2013 to fol-
low their passion in life during the
schools 64th annual commencement
Sunday at the Mohegan Sun Arena.
Thompson also was awarded an
honorary doctor of humanities de-
gree from the college during the
graduation ceremonies for the nearly
500 students.
In her address, Thompson told
the graduates, Do what you love,
because in the real world there is no
substitute for passion.
The award-winning journalist told
Luzerne County
Council will hold a
special meeting on
election night Tues-
day to vote on the
nomination of Joan
Hoggarth as judicial
services and records
division head.
Council members had scheduled a
public hearing at 7 p.m. Tuesday on
proposed 2013 budget amendments
but didnt plan to discuss other matters.
The special meeting to vote on the
division head was added late last week
after county Manager Robert Lawton
submitted Hoggarths nomination to
the post.
Lawtons initial nomination of Colo-
rado resident Linda A. Coxen did not
receive the required six votes.
* Lawton is expected to reduce Hog-
garths proposed division head salary to
around $70,000 because several council
members may not support her nomina-
tion at $75,000.
Coxen had been willing to accept the
position at $67,500.
Councilman Rick Morelli sent Law-
ton an email last week asking him to
explain why Lawton is proposing a
$75,000 salary for Hoggarth, Lawtons
second choice.
Lawton told Morelli that Hoggarth
has been performing the interim divi-
sion head duties since September and
has a decade of experience working
in the county, which will shorten
or, perhaps, eliminate the learning
curve. Hoggarths position as acting
recorder of deeds, which paid $41,200,
also will be eliminated, he said.
* Five of the 11 council members vot-
ed against Coxens appointment, and
Councilman Harry Haas abstained, cit-
ing a $100 campaign contribution from
attorney Jim Haggerty, who served on
the interviewing panel for the position.

new equipment to remotely reroute
power during damaging storms and up-
grading substations with new technol-

ernie Sobieski of Edwardsville carries his daughter, Isabella, 3, on his shoulders Sunday during
the March for Babies fundraising event for the March of Dimes Foundation held at Kings Col-
leges Betzler Field in Wilkes-Barre Township. The march is part of a national effort to raise money
for babies born prematurely. More than 1,000 families and business leaders were to join in. Walkers
have raised around $2 billion nationally since the event began in 1970 to fund research to identify
problems and help babies to be born healthy. This year marks the foundations 75th anniversary.

PLAINS TWP. While a January
outbreak of Legionnaires Disease in
Pittsburgh has many concerned with
hospital cleanliness, ofcials at the
areas veterans hospital say patients
there can rely on new technology to
ensure a clean and healthy environ-
ment.
The Wilkes-Barre Department of
Veterans Affairs Medical Center has in-
vested nearly $1 million in Intelligent
Room Sterilization, known as IRiS,
recently purchasing eight devices that
produce high-intensity ultraviolet rays
that aid in the disinfection of patient
rooms and treatment areas by killing
multidrug-resistant organisms.
Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical
Center spokesman Matt Van Stone
said Geisinger recently invested in
similar UV machines at its hospi-
tals. Commonwealth Health Systems
spokesman Jim McGuire said Wilkes-
Barre General does not have UV dis-
infecting machines and there are no
immediate plans to invest in them.
Bruce Brenner, director of public af-
fairs at the Wilkes-Barre VA, said its
important for hospitals to have ma-
chines like IRiS because it reduces the
risk of a patient contracting a disease
from another patient.
The U.S. Department of Health &
Human Services reported that 1 in
20 patients contract infections during
hospital stays, many due to super-
bugs which can be difcult to treat.
VA Medical Centers have come un-
der congressional scrutiny after an
outbreak of Legionnaires Disease at
a veterans hospital in Pittsburgh in
January.
U.S. Sen. Bob Casey has introduced
legislation that would require Veterans
IRiS sterilizes rooms with UV light
to keep germs at bay. Eight devices
cost almost $1 million.

KINGS GRADUATES
PETE G. WILCOX/THE TIMES LEADER
Kings College graduate Meghan Wernimont of Reeders (facing
camera) receives a hug from Kings faculty member Amy Brzos-
ka, clinic professor and athletic trainer, during Sundays 64th
Annual Commencement at Mohegan Sun Arena in Wilkes-Barre
Township. Wernimont received her B.A. in Communications.
JERUSALEM Fears of an esca-
lation of violence between Israel and
Syria grew Sunday with renewed Is-
raeli threats to destroy Syrian weapons
caches and Syrias warnings of retalia-
tion.
After decades of relative calm, some
Israeli ofcials say tensions with Syria
are among the highest since the 1973
Yom Kippur war.
During a Cabinet meeting Sunday,
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Ne-
tanyahu said Israel would continue to
act to prevent Syrias advanced weap-
ons from falling into the hands of the
Lebanese militant group Hezbollah or
other organizations deemed to be ter-
rorists.
The Middle East is in one of its
most sensitive periods in decades with
the escalating upheaval in Syria, Ne-
tanyahu said. We are monitoring the
changes there closely and are prepared
for any scenario.
Israel has been accused of launching
three airstrikes this year against Syr-
ian weapons stockpiles and convoys,
though ofcially the Israeli govern-
ment has not acknowledged its re-
sponsibility.
But Israeli ofcials have said repeat-
edly they will not hesitate to attack
if they fear that weapons, including
chemical stockpiles, would fall into
the wrong hands.
In response, Syrian President Bashar
Assad, whose regime did not retaliate
for the previous three attacks, has sig-
naled that he will not tolerate a fourth.
His government has reportedly
trained advanced surface-to-surface
missiles on the Israeli city of Tel Aviv,
with instructions to re in the event
of another Israeli attack, according to
information from reconnaissance sat-
ellite imagery reported Sunday by the
Times of London.
LAS VEGAS The latest high-stakes
court hearing for O.J. Simpson in the
glitzy capital of big gambles has come
to a close with the former football stars
defense teamfeeling condent that their
client is closer to getting out of prison.
The last time Simpson was in a Las
Vegas courtroom, he was convicted of
kidnapping and armed robbery. Now,
with a new team of attorneys on his
side, he has mounted a cool, methodical
case that his former lead lawyer botched
the 2008 trial so badly that a new one
should be granted.
He has a very goodchance now, said
Ozzie Fumo, one of the attorneys who
represented Simpson. I dont think the
state was able to counter any of our is-
sues.
Simpsons lawyers presentedevidence
that showed Miami-based attorney Yale
Galanter shared responsibility for the
ill-conceived plan for the NFL Hall of
Famer and former Hollywood star to
take back personal items and mementos
from two sports collectible dealers in a
Vegas hotel room. They also built a case
that he deliberatelysabotagedSimpsons
chances for acquittal and appeal to pro-
tect himself and his own self-interests.
When the weeklong hearing ended
Friday there seemed to be little doubt
that major mistakes were made when
Simpson was sentenced to nine to 33
years in prison on 12 criminal counts.
WASHINGTON The president
and chief executive ofcer of The As-
sociated Press on Sunday called the
governments secret seizure of two
months of reporters phone records
unconstitutional and said the news
cooperative had not ruled out legal
action against the Justice Depart-
ment.
Gary Pruitt, in his rst television
interviews since it was revealed the
Justice Department subpoenaed
phone records of AP reporters and
editors, said the move already has
had a chilling effect on journalism.
Pruitt said the seizure has made
sources less willing to talk to AP
journalists and, in the long term,
could limit Americans information
from all news outlets.
Pruitt told CBS Face the Nation
that the government has no business
monitoring the APs newsgathering
activities.
And if they restrict that apparatus
the people of the United States
will only know what the government
wants them to know and thats not
what the framers of the Constitution
had in mind when they wrote the
First Amendment, he said.
In a separate interview with the
AP, Pruitt said the news cooperative
had not decided its next move but
had not ruled out legal action against
the government.
Its too early to know if well take
legal action but I can tell you we are
positively displeased and we do feel
that our constitutional rights have
been violated, he said.
Senate Republican Leader Mitch
McConnell of Kentucky said the gov-
ernment needs to stop leaks by what-
ever means necessary.
DAMASCUS, Va. Authori-
ties believe the driver who plowed
into dozens of hikers marching in
a Virginia mountain town parade
suffered from a medical condition
and did not cause the crash inten-
tionally, an emergency ofcial said
Sunday.
Ofcials did not have a formal
conrmation or any specics on
the condition, but based on the ac-
counts of authorities and witnesses
on the scene, they are condent
the issue was medical, according to
Pokey Harris, Washington Countys
director of emergency management.
There is no reason to believe this
was intentional, she said.
In what witnesses called a fran-
tic scene at the parade, about 50 to
60 people suffered injuries ranging
from critical to supercial Saturday.
No fatalities were reported. Three
of the worst injured were own by
helicopter to area hospitals.
Two people were kept at hospitals
overnight, but their injuries were
not critical as of Sunday, Harris
said. For the most part, everyone
was treated and released, she said.
The crash happened around 2:10
p.m. Saturday during the Hikers Pa-
rade at the Trail Days festival, an an-
nual celebration of the Appalachian
Trail in Damascus, near the Tennes-
see state line about a half-hour drive
east of Bristol.
Damascus Police Chief Bill Nun-
ley didnt release the drivers name
or age but said he was participating
in the parade and he had traversed
the Appalachian Trail in the past.
Several witnesses described him as
an elderly man.
Nunley said the mans 1997 Ca-
dillac was one of the last vehicles
in the parade and the driver might
have suffered an unspecied medi-
cal problem when his car acceler-
ated to about 25 mph and struck the
crowd on a two-lane bridge along
the towns main road. The driver
was among those taken to hospitals.
It is under investigation, and
charges may be placed, Nunley said
Saturday.
On Sunday, festival events were
continuing as scheduled, Harris
said. Mayor Jack McCrady had en-
couraged people to attend the nal
day.
In 27 years of this, weve never
had anything of this magnitude, and
is it our job to make sure it doesnt
happen again, he said.

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA
N. Korea res new missile
North Korea red a projectile into
waters off its eastern coast Sunday, a
day after launching three short-range
missiles in the same area, ofcials
said.
North Korea routinely test-launches
short-range missiles. But the latest
launches came during a period of
tentative diplomacy aimed at easing
recent tension, including near-daily
threats by North Korea to attack South
Korea and the U.S. earlier this year.
North Korea protested annual joint
military drills by Seoul and Washing-
ton and U.N. sanctions imposed over
its February nuclear test.
The fourth launch occurred Sunday
afternoon, according to ofcials at
Seouls Defense Ministry and Joint
Chiefs of Staff.
ATLANTA
Obama urges good deeds
President Barack Obama, in a soar-
ing commencement address on work,
sacrice and opportunity, on Sunday
told graduates of historically black
Morehouse College to seize the power
of their example as black men graduat-
ing from college and use it to improve
peoples lives.
The president said his success was
due to the special obligation I felt,
as a black man like you, to help those
who need it most, people who didnt
have the opportunities that I had
because there but for the grace of God,
go I. I might have been in their shoes.
I might have been in prison. I might
have been unemployed. I might not
have been able to support a family.
And that motivates me.
Noting the Atlanta schools mission
to cultivate, not just educate, good
men, Obama said graduates should
not be so eager to join the chase
for wealth and material things, but
instead should remember where they
came from and not take your degree
and get a fancy job and nice house and
nice car and never look back.
BRIDGEPORT, CONN.
Days of train delays ahead
Tens of thousands of commuters
are bracing for a difcult trip around
southwest Connecticut and to New
York City beginning today as workers
repair the Metro-North commuter
rail line crippled by a derailment and
crash.
Crews will spend days rebuilding
2,000 feet of track, overhead wires and
signals following the collision between
two trains Friday evening that injured
72 people, Metro-North President
Howard Permut said Sunday. Nine
remained hospitalized.
Service disruptions on the New Ha-
ven line between South Norwalk and
New Haven are expected to continue
well into the coming week, Permut
said.

Manhattan Criminal Court. He also
was charged with criminal possession
of a weapon and menacing.
Authorities say Morales used a re-
volver to kill 32-year-old Mark Carson
early Saturday as he walked with a
companion in Greenwich Village.
Morales is being held without bail.
His next court appearance is Thurs-
day.

EDMOND, Okla. One of sev-
eral tornadoes that touched down
Sunday in Oklahoma turned
homes in a trailer park near Okla-
homa City into splinters and rub-
ble and sent frightened residents
along a 100-mile corridor scurry-
ing for shelter.
The tornadoes that touched
down in Oklahoma, Kansas and
Iowa were part of a massive,
northeastward-moving storm
system that stretched from Texas
to Minnesota. CNN reported late
Sunday at least one person has
been killed in Oklahoma.
At least four separate torna-
does touched down in central
Oklahoma late Sunday afternoon,
including the one near the town
of Shawnee, 35 miles southeast of
Oklahoma City, that laid waste to
much of a mobile home park.
Reports of injuries in that tor-
nado strike couldnt immediately
be conrmed, as getting into the
area was made difcult by the
overturned tractor-trailers that
forced the closure of a section of
Interstate 40.
A storm spotter told the Na-
tional Weather Service that the
tornado left the earth scoured
at the mobile home park.
Forecasters had been warning
for days that the weekend storm
system could produce torna-
does, and emergency responders
throughout the region were keep-
ing a close eye on it Sunday night
as it moved northeastward. Tor-
nado watches or warnings were
in effect through late Sunday in
several states.
Dozens of homes were dam-
aged by the other tornadoes that
touched down in Oklahoma, but
emergency ofcials had no imme-
diate reports of injuries caused by
any of them, including the rst of
the afternoon that hit Edmond, a
suburb north of Oklahoma City,
before making its way toward
Tulsa, 90 miles to the northeast.

appointments but to learn from
it.
Most lives zigzag like a water
park, she said.
They are not without failure.
Failure makes you better, she
pointed out, recalling her own
struggles early in her career.
Thompson urged the class to
have faith in themselves as they
pursue new lives.
Believe in what you do,
she said. You are our future
make it great.

News since 1997. Among the
many highlights of her career,
in 2010,

She won

Katrina coverage. She also was
honored with a Leob award for
distinguished business and -
nancial journalism for a series of
reports on the jobless economic
recovery.
In his speech, Diocese of
Scranton Bishop Joseph Bam-
bera quoted words of Kings Col-
leges founding president, the
Rev. James Connerton: Kings
teaches students not only how
to make a living, but how to
live.
Bambera told the graduates
to remember the values set by
the Congregation of Holy Cross
when the school was formed in
1946.
Whatever path in life you
pursue, always look beyond
yourself, and serve your broth-
ers and sisters generously,
Bambera said. In doing so, your
life will be a success and lled
with purpose and meaning.
While sharing college memo-
ries during his salutation re-
marks, Class President Ian
Oakley jokingly threatened to
sing a song titled Dont Blink
by Kenny Chesney. Its about
learning to be thankful for ev-
erything you have, because in a
blink its gone.
Oakley said the Class of 2013
shared a lot of adventures to-
gether from being evacuated
during Tropical Storm Lee,
breaking in the new gymnasium
and moving into off-campus
housing. We had to clean our
own bathrooms and kitchens
and found out that electricity
and water are not free. Pausing
a moment to look across the sea
of smiling faces, Oakley added:
People often say that your col-
lege years are the best. If these
are the best years of my life, then
Im one lucky kid.

Marvin Barry Nachlis
May 16, 2013
M
arvin Barry Nachlis, beloved
husband, father, brother and
friend, passed away peacefully at
his home, in Long Beach, Calif.,
on Thursday, May 16, 2013, from
ALS. He was 63 years old and was
surrounded by family and friends
in his nal moments.
The son of Arnold and Dorothy
Nachlis, Marvin was born in 1949
in Wilkes-Barre. He graduated
from Wyoming Valley West High
School, served in the U.S. Navy,
and earned a combination bach-
elor and law degree from Western
State University.
After 25 years of practicing
law, Marvin challenged himself
to start a new career as an edu-
cator at David Starr Jordan High
School. He taught math and
coached girls basketball at Jordan
for 12 years.
While proud of his careers,
Marvins family meant the world
to him. He was completely devot-
ed to his wife, Gayle. Married for
35 years, Gayle and Marvin were
more in love every day. Marvin
loved spending time with his two
children, Alex and Sara, coaching
both of their sports teams and
clapping loudly at every school
play. Recently, he had the plea-
sure of seeing his son Alex ac-
cepted at Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity for graduate school. He was
so proud.
An avid golfer, Marvin enjoyed
playing multiple times a week.
We will remember Marvin sing-
ing aloud to West Side Story
and enthusiastically seeking out
new foods. He was adventurous
and was inspired by the greatness
of nature.
Marvin is survived by his sis-
ters, Suze Liese (Roy) Coral
Springs, Fla.; Lorie Nachlis
(Abby) San Francisco, Calif., and
brother, Steven Nachlis (Rhondi),
Kingston, and families.
Shiva will be observed
by Steven at his home,
236 Butler St., Kingston,
today and Tuesday from 7 to 9
p.m. and Wednesday from 2 to 4
p.m.
The family requests that people
who wish to remember him make
a donation in his name to The
Gleason Initiative Foundation at
www.teamgleason.org. Marvin
touched the lives of many.

Affairs Medical Centers across
the state to report incidences
of infectious diseases to the ap-
propriate public health ofcials.
Casey noted in a press release
that appropriate health agencies
were not informed after the out-
break in Pittsburgh.
WIlkes-Barre VA spokesman
Vince Riccardo said that out-
break did not spur local hospital
ofcials to purchase the eight
machines here, which cost the
hospital a total of $952,000.
Weve had this effort going on
for a period of time. Its part of
our continual process of enhanc-
ing and improving the quality of
our patient care, Riccardo said.
The manual cleaning pro-
cess signicantly reduces the
amount of hospital-acquired in-
fections that could occur, said
LeVonn Anderson, chief of eEn-
vironmental management at the
VA, but IRIS takes it to the next
level of disinfecting.
The UV lights get into nooks
and crannies to disinfect. Hands
cant get into cracks and corners
like IRIS, Anderson said.
Big bug zapper
Standing 5 feet tall and 2 feet
in diameter, the device, Brenner
says, resembles a big bug zap-
per.
A machine is wheeled to the
center of a room and operated
from outside the room using a
remote control. It emits a laser
light that shines on all surfaces
and bounces back to the ma-
chine, allowing the computer in-
side to send appropriate power
levels to each of the 32 UV light-
bulbs encircling the core of the
machine.
Higher levels of UV light are
sent to parts of the room the
greatest distance from the ma-
chine.
Brenner said the VA had expe-
rienced issues after routine man-
ual cleaning of patient rooms.
The disinfectants could not kill
all of these multidrug-resistant
organisms. When swabs were
taken of the room after these
manual cleanings, the results
showed that there was growth
in the samples overnight, mean-
ing not all of the organisms were
gone from the room.
Thats when, Brenner said, a
rst-generation version of IRIS
was tested at the VA to see how
thoroughly it could disinfect a
room. After the machine had n-
ished cleaning the room, swabs
were taken from the bed frame,
tables, cabinets and other sur-
face and hard-to-reach areas of
the roomto be incubated in a lab
overnight to see if any growth
had occurred.
After we saw the evidence of
what the machine could do with
the post-machine cultures and
the fact that it had no growth,
thats when the beacon went off
that this is a nice machine, said
Brenner.
The VAMC just became home
to the second generation of IRIS,
which is faster and stays plugged
into a wall outlet while charg-
ing its battery on board, cut-
ting down on the time between
cleanings and getting patients
into their rooms faster.
We are continuing to strive
to improve the facilities and
(provide) better care for our vet-
erans, Brenner said.
Phyllis Stamile, a housekeeper at the Veterans Administration
Medical Center, programs IRiS, a machine that uses UV lights
to kill any bacteria left behind in nooks and crannies that could
not be reached through the manual cleaning process.

Council members Morelli
and Jim Bobeck have ques-
tioned Haas abstention, with
Morelli calling it a cop-out.
Haas said he is standing
by his decision and also will
abstain from the vote on Hog-
garth.
Given the long history of
pay-to-play politics in our
area, it is my duty to be vigilant
against opening up our county,
myself or my supporters to
even the slightest appearance
of impropriety. For that, I do
not regret my decision whatso-
ever, Haas said.
Haas also red back at Mo-
relli without naming him.
One member of council who
took hundreds of dollars of
campaign donations from tax
collectors and who voted lock-
step when given the cost-saving
opportunity to collect taxes in-
house actually had the audac-
ity to call my vote a cop-out.
If the opposite of that label is
a sell-out, then Ill wear that
badge proudly, Haas said.
Tuesdays council budget
hearing and special meeting
will be held in the second-oor
jury room of the county court-
house in Wilkes-Barre because
the council meeting room will
be occupied by election work-
ers.
The county Flood Protec-
tion Authority will meet at 11
a.m. Tuesday in the countys
Emergency Management Agen-
cy Building, Water Street, Wil-
kes-Barre. The authority must
nd an engineer to oversee the
Wyoming Valley Levee now
that county Chief Engineer Joe
Gibbons and former authority
Executive Director and Engi-
neer Jim Brozena are no longer
on staff.
Councils Strategic Initia-
tives Committee will meet at
6:30 p.m. tonight in the jury
room. The committee is slated
to continue discussing code
amendments and health ben-
ets, vacation days and other
workforce standards.

nAMI
ity. Linda Arnold knows the
reality and was quick to point
out mental illness can happen
to common people. She val-
ues community members and
organizations who have made
recovery possible. She also
enjoys the walk as an opportu-
nity to catch up with friends.
Members love it and look
forward to it every year, said
Jerri Sydlo, certied peer spe-
cialist at Northeast Counsel-
ing. Glenda Race, participant
and NAMI member, said, The
people of NAMI have given
me support when I felt hurt
and confused, education about
my disorder, and advocacy
when I was afraid to speak
out. Someone suggested I
go to a family-to-family meet-
ing when I was at the worst of
the worst, said one mother of
someone challenged by men-
tal illness. I did, and when I
walked out I knew that I was
no longer alone. NAMI stress-
es those with mental illness
can lead full, productive lives.
It also emphasizes the role of
the family of those with men-
tal illness. The organization
provides support to the entire
family to make long-term re-
covery possible. It also pro-
vides information about com-
munity resources to address
problems those with mental
illness often face, including
housing and nancial challeng-
es. Hollinger, looking out over
those happily preparing for the
walk, said simply, We need to
stop the stigma of those with
mental illness. Those inter-
ested in obtaining informa-
tion on NAMI services can call
371-3844 or access the NAMI

JOB DESCRIPTION
he Superior Court is one of Pennsylvania's two
statewide intermediate appellate courts. This court,
which was established in 1895, reviews most of the civil
and criminal cases that are appealed from the Courts of
Common Pleas in the Commonwealth's 67 counties. The
Superior Court consists of 15 judges who serve 10-year
terms. The president judge of Superior Court is elected
to a five-year term by his or her colleagues.
A huge volume of appeals flow to Superior Court from
the trial courts. Generally, appeals are heard by panels
of three judges sitting in Philadelphia, Harrisburg or
Pittsburgh. The court often is the final arbiter of legal
disputes. Although the Supreme Court may grant a peti-
tion for review of a Superior Court decision, most such
petitions are denied and the ruling of the Superior Court
stands.

Heres a Yonkers cheer to
NBA player coming out
J
ason Collins, a 12-year NBA veteran and
itinerate center for the Washington Wiz-
ards, recently stepped out of the closet
and revealed that he was black and gay.
The reason why he thought it was
necessary to mention his race is anybodys
guess. Perhaps he had a funk song in
mind: Im black and Im proud per-
formed by James Brown in 1968. Perhaps
its an attitude thing or perhaps he was
trying to kill two birds with one stone
you know, gay and human rights and all
that jazz.
Collins is the rst openly gay athlete in
a major American team sport, which I sup-
pose qualies as groundbreaking news.
It wasnt his intention or so he claims
to be the rst openly gay athlete playing
in a major American team sport, but
since he is, he is more than happy to start
the conversation.
Someone should remind him that no
one twisted his arm. I thought his an-
nouncement was egotistical and self-serv-
ing. He certainly has nothing of which to
be to be proud. Ours is a shameless soci-
ety. It should come as no surprise that our
society glories dysfunctional behavior
and calls it courageous. It is also no sur-
prise that Collins has received overwhelm-
ing support from the sports community
not to mention sports columnists and
letters to the editor.
Someone born with a body meant for
the opposite sex who nds pleasure with
someone of his or her own sex merits our
compassion rather than our condemna-
tion.
We should not stop loving someone
who is different in signicant ways. By
the same token, we should not be pinning
medals on that person.

Tejay Van Garderen puts on the yellow jersey after winning the Tour of California in Santa Rosa,
Calif., on Sunday.
Tejay van Garderen takes Tour of California
SANTA ROSA, Calif. Te-
jay van Garderen stayed out of
trouble to seal his first profes-
sional stage race title Sunday,
winning the Tour of California
in front of BMC Racing Teams
home fans.
The American cruised
through the smooth and scenic
final stage from San Francisco
to Santa Rosa without incident
to edge Australia Michael Rog-
ers for the overall title by 1:47.
Colombian Janier Acevedo was
third, 3:26 behind van Gard-
eren.
Van Garderen completed
the eight-day, 727.8-mile race
that has evolved into North
Americas most prominent
cycling event in 29 hours and
43 minutes. He held the overall
lead the final three days.
Sprinter Peter Sagan pulled
away to win the 80.7-mile final
stage in 3 hours, 4 minutes and
7 seconds. Daniel Schorn was
second and Tyler Farrar third in
a crowded finish.
With a formidable field and
a taxing terrain, van Garderen
guided his way through Califor-
nia like he could be American
cyclings next big star.
He stayed within striking
distance in the desert heat,
powered through coastal cross-
winds to grab the yellow jersey
in a grueling fifth stage from
Santa Barbara to Avila Beach,
dominated the hilly and techni-
cal time trial that followed in
San Jose and maneuvered up
Mount Diablo to maintain the
overall lead that set the stage
for a mostly ceremonial and cel-
ebratory finale in this cycling-
loving city where BMC Racing
is headquartered.
So confident he would hold
on, race organizers already had
etched van Garderens name
on the trophy before the last
stage. He avoided a wreck or
equipment failure, enjoying
the scenic sites on his road to
victory.
The memorable week for
van Garderen ended with a
postcard-like morning ride
along the bay in San Franciscos
trendy Marina District, cross-
ing the Golden Gate Bridge and
pedaling beside the sprouting
spring vines in Sonoma wine
country. Finally, he crossed the
finish line in front of thousands
of cheering residents who
squeezed into Santa Rosas
quaint downtown.
Visconti in solo victory on
snowy 15th Giro stage
COL DU GALIBIER, France
-- A superb solo ride up the
grueling Col du Galibier gave
Giovanni Visconti the victory
in a weather-affected 15th stage
of the Giro dItalia on Sunday,
while favorite Vincenzo Nibali
retained the overall lead.
Atrocious weather conditions
once again altered the race
course and heavy snow fell at
the finish as Visconti won in a
time of 4 hours, 40 minutes, 52
seconds, beating Carlos Betan-
cur and Przemyslaw Niemiec
by 42 seconds.

ROME After all these years,
Rafael Nadal still knows how to
dominate Roger Federer.
In the 30th meeting between
the tennis greats, Nadal con-
trolled the final from the start
and won 6-1, 6-3 Sunday for his
seventh Italian Open title.
Rafa was just too good today,
Federer said.
It tied for the second most
lop-sided win in the series since
Nadal also lost just four games,
but over three sets, in the 2008
French Open final against Feder-
er. At the tour finals in London in
2011, Nadal allowed Federer just
three games.
For that to happen between
two players with not that much
difference, it has to be because
one player plays very well and
the other is having more mis-
takes than usual, Nadal said.
Thats all.
Nadal improved to 20-10 in
his career against Federer, and
showed once again that hell
be the player to beat when the
French Open starts next Sunday.
It was the fifth-ranked Spaniards
sixth title since returning earlier
this year froma seven-month lay-
off due to a left knee injury.
Im playing much better than
I dreamed of a few months ago,
Nadal said. Im doing the right
things to play well.
In the womens final, Serena
Williams won her fourth con-
secutive title of the year in im-
pressive fashion, defeating third-
seeded Victoria Azarenka 6-1,
6-3. The top-ranked American
will go to Paris on a career-best
24-match winning run.
Williams was coming off con-
secutive titles in Miami; Charles-
ton, South Carolina; and Madrid
last week.

Nadal beats Federer; Serena wins
