After tracking suspicious use
and data analysis, the state con-
ducted its first investigation of
out-of-state Access Card fraud.
The results rendered 653 cases
statewide, 16 in Luzerne Coun-
ty and savings of nearly $1 mil-
lion in Pennsylvania taxpayers
money.
Each individual has been re-
moved from the program.
ThestateDepartment of Pub-
lic Welfare then turned suspect-
ed violators in to the Office of
Inspector General to determine
an outcome for their alleged
scams.
As of yet, no one has been
criminally charged, spokeswo-
man Melissa Yerges of the In-
spector Generals Office said
Wednesday.
Beginning in February, pub-
lic welfarebegana monthlyresi-
dency reviewof those who com-
pleted electronic benefit trans-
actions in states non-contigu-
ous to Pennsylvania.
While usingAccess Cards out
of state is not illegal, frequent
use was a red flag that users
were no longer Pennsylvania
residents.
The next step is to investi-
gate cards being used in New
York and New Jersey for fraud.
Electronic cards are the pri-
mary methodusedto issue pub-
lic assistance benefits to eligi-
ble Pennsylvania residents.
These benefits range from cash
assistance, to supplemental nu-
trition (food stamps) and med-
ical assistance.
To obtain benefits, as man-
dated by state and federal law,
anapplicant must providedocu-
mentation proving lawful U.S.
citizenship through a birth cer-
tificate, a drivers license or a
Social Security number.
The department then checks
client information against in-
state, out-of-state and national
databases.
The public welfare analysis
found 76 percent of the people
fraudulentlycollectingPennsyl-
vania benefits while livinginan-
other state were using the food
stamp program. Additionally,
24 percent of those living out-
side Pennsylvania were collect-
ing other types of benefits such
as cash assistance, medical as-
sistance or a combination of the
three.
The departments review of
out-of-state welfare spending
will soon expand to neighbor-
ing states and we will conduct
targeted reviews anywhere we
see an inconsistency. We will
leavenostoneunturnedwhenit
comes to rooting out fraud,
waste and abuse, said Gary D.
Alexander, secretary of the De-
partment of Public Welfare.
This border state review
couldnet more fraudulent cases
locally, official said.

health trust has used annual bud-
gets and methodology to deter-
mine the contribution rates for
each member school. There cur-
rently are 13 schools in the trust,
with 3,500 eligible employee par-
ticipants and approximately
4,000 of their dependents receiv-
ing health care benefits.
In April, Lake-Lehman agreed
to be part of the health trust, and
no school district has ever with-
drawnfromthetrust without pro-
viding the required year notice,
the suit states.
Should other (school dis-
tricts) follow (Lake-Lehmans)
lead, and attempt to withdraw
from the trusts medical and pre-
scription drug coverage without
giving the required (notice)
the result will be an increase in fi-
nancial burden to the (remain-
ing) districts, the suits says.
The health trust seeks a pre-
liminary injunction to maintain
Lake-Lehman as a member to
comply with the year notice to
withdrawand asks a judge to rule
the district should pay damages
to the trust for breech of agree-
ment.

WILKES-BARRE You light
up my world like nobody else,
Salutatorian Allison Marie
Muth told her fellow graduates
at Holy Redeemer HighSchools
fifth annual commencement at
the F. M. Kirby Center on
Wednesday evening.
Muth recalled the camarade-
rie and compassion her class-
mates had for each other.
Our class bonded the stron-
gest when we celebrated the lit-
urgy, she said. We were
brought together by our faith
and our identity as Catholic stu-
dents.
Before the conferring of diplo-
mas by Diocese of Scranton
Bishop Joseph Bambera, a mo-
ment of silence was observedfor
Gary Lukasiewicz, 18, of Taylor,
who died on May 19. Lukasiew-
icz was president of his senior
class at Riverside High School.
Of the 168 members of the
class of 2012, 96 percent will at-
tend college and 4 percent will
enlist in the military or partici-
pate in post-secondary training,
Principal Anita Sirak said, add-
ing that $16.8 million in scholar-
ships had been awarded to the
class. Thats the highest
amount awarded in the history
of Holy Redeemer High School
to one class.
Holy Redeemer is one of four
Catholic high schools that ser-
vice the 11 counties within the
Diocese of Scranton.
The years at Holy Redeemer
were just as short as they were
longandfilledwithjoy as well as
hardship, Valedictorian Els-
beth Catherine Turcan recalled.
As we look back, we realize
how important our time was.
We made amazing friends and
lasting memories.
Bambera offered closing re-
marks and a final blessing to the
students. Youve been given all
you need to go forth and build a
better world, he said. Recog-
nize your gifts and use them
wisely and generously.

GREENSBORO, N.C. An
eighthdayof jurydeliberations in
the John Edwards trial passed
without a verdict Wednesday, but
not without several episodes of
drama that played out behind
closed doors.
After receivinga note froma ju-
ror, U.S. District Court Judge
Catherine Eagles cleared the
courtroom, twice, to confer pri-
vately with prosecutors and de-
fense lawyers. Eagles provided
no details, and defense lawyers
and the court clerk declined to
comment after jurors went home
for the day.
The same issue also prompted
the judge to meet twice in her
chambers with the lawyers.
Weve been dealing with a note
from one of the regular jurors,
Eagles said in court.
After a long day of uncertainty
on the part of journalists and
spectators about whether the
trial was nearing an end, Eagles
told the four alternate jurors that
they were free togoonwithyour
lives and would no longer be re-
quired to spend their days se-
questered at the courthouse.
Marcellus McRae, a former feder-
al prosecutor in Los Angeles who
has taught trial advocacy at Har-
vard LawSchool, said sending al-
ternates home could mean the
judge believes jurors are making
progress toward a verdict or
that theyare close todeclaringan
impasse.

2 dead in caf shooting
T
wo men were killed and three other
people were wounded in a shooting
Wednesday morning in North Seattle.
Seattle police said the shooting hap-
pened at Cafe Racer Espresso. Two
men are confirmed dead, and one per-
son has life-threatening injuries, police
said. Two others also suffered gunshot
wounds. One victim is a woman.
A law enforcement source said it
could be a domestic violence situation.
The suspect in the Cafe Racer shoot-
ing is described as a white man, 30 to
40 years old, 6-foot-1, with a medium
build. He has light brown curly hair, a
goatee or beard and was wearing a
white and plaid shirt. He was last seen
running north from the scene.
KABUL
Attack kills 2 NATO troops
An insurgent attack and a homemade
bomb killed two NATO service mem-
bers Wednesday in southern Afghan-
istan, the coalition said.
The deaths raised the number of
coalition troops who have died in Af-
ghanistan this year to 174. The coali-
tion did not provide further details
about the attacks.
Southern Afghanistan is the tradi-
tional heartland of the Taliban and has
been the deadliest place for foreign
forces since the Afghan war started in
2001. The U.S. poured tens of thou-
sands of additional troops into the
south in 2009 and 2010 in an attempt
to reverse the Talibans momentum.
LONDON
Whistle-blower loses appeal
Julian Assange, founder of Wikileaks,
the whistle-blowing website, lost his
appeal Wednesday in the highest Brit-
ish Court against extradition to Swe-
den on rape and sexual molestation
charges.
Assange did not attend the 10-minute
judgment passed down by British Su-
preme Court, where dozens of support-
ers waving placards in support for his
cause stood outside the entrance.
Dinah Rose, Assanges defense at-
torney, was given two weeks to consid-
er the judgment and confer with her
client and make a further application
and possibly reopen the case on a legal
point.
The 40-year-old Australian-born
Assange is under house arrest in east-
ern England in the mansion of a sup-
porter. He denies the charges and his
fight against extradition is based on the
grounds that once in Sweden he could
be extradited to the United States to
face charges for leaking State Depart-
ment documents on the Internet.
INDIANAPOLIS
Sex offenders fighting back
Registered sex offenders who have
been banned from social networking
websites are fighting back in the na-
tions courts, successfully challenging
many of the restrictions as infringe-
ments on free speech and their right to
participate in common online discus-
sions.
The legal battles pit public outrage
over sex crimes against cherished
guarantees of individual freedom and
the far-reaching communication chang-
es brought by Facebook, LinkedIn and
dozens of other sites.
Courts have long allowed states to
place restrictions on convicted sex
offenders who have completed their
sentences. But the increasing use of
social networks for everyday communi-
cation raises new, untested issues.

Journalist held in Colombia to be freed
A female guerrilla of the Revolutionary
Armed Forces of Colombia manages a
roadblock Wednesday in San Isidro in
southern Colombia. Journalist Romeo
Langlois, who was taken by rebels on
April 28 when they attacked troops he
was accompanying on a cocaine-lab
eradication mission, is expected to be
handed over by the rebels to a dele-
gation that includes another French
journalist in San Isidro.
BEIRUT U.N. observers
have discovered 13 bound
corpses in eastern Syria, many
of them apparently shot execu-
tion-style, the monitoring mis-
sion said Wednesday.
The announcement comes
days after a massacre in Houla,
in the central Homs province,
which killed more than 100
people and prompted world-
wide condemnation against
the regime of President Bashar
Assad. The Syrian government
denied its troops were behind
the killings andblamedarmed
terrorists.
The latest killings apparent-
ly happened in Deir el-Zour
province. The corpses were
found with their hands tied be-
hind their backs, according to a
statement by the U.N. mission.
Some appeared to have been
shot in the head from a short
distance.
The head of the U.N. observ-
er team, Maj. Gen. Robert
Mood, said he was deeply dis-
turbed by this appalling and in-
excusable act.
The violence in Syria is spi-
raling out of control as an up-
rising against Assad that began
in March 2011 has morphed in-
to an armed insurgency.
In the wake of the Houla
massacre, the United States
and several other countries ex-
pelled Syrian diplomats to pro-
test the killings. Survivors
blamedpro-regime gunmenfor
at least some of the carnage in
Houla.
The U.N.s top human rights
body planned to hold a special
session Friday to address the
massacre.
The U.S. Treasury Depart-
ment also said it was levying
sanctions on a key Syrian bank
as it seeks to ratchet up eco-
nomic pressure on the regime.
The department said the Syria
International Islamic Bank has
been acting as a front for other
Syrian financial institutions
seeking to circumvent sanc-
tions. The new penalties will
prohibit the SIIB from engag-
ing in transactions in the U.S.
and will freeze any assets un-
der U.S. jurisdiction.
Violence also continued else-
where unabated. Syrian forces
bombarded rebel-held areas in
the same province where the
Houla killings occurred, al-
though no casualties were im-
mediately reported, activists
said.
Syrias state-run media on
Wednesday denouncedthe dip-
lomatic expulsions as unprec-
edented hysteria.

JOHANNESBURG, South
Africa -- Former Liberian Presi-
dent Charles Taylor will likely
spend the rest of his life in pris-
on after a U.N.-backed court sen-
tencedhimto 50 years for aiding
and abetting war crimes.
Taylor, 64, is the first former
head of state to be convicted by
an international court for war
crimes since the Nuremberg
trials of Nazi
leaders that fol-
lowed World
War II.
He was found
guilty of help-
ing plan war
crimes with
Revolutionary
United Front
rebels in Sierra Leone, trading
arms with themin return for so-
called blood diamonds. During
their 1991-2002 reign of terror,
the rebels were knownfor ampu-
tating limbs, raping women and
girls, recruiting and using child
soldiers, and forcing girls and
women to become sex slaves.
Taylor was convicted in April
on 11 counts, including terror-
ism, murder, rape, sexual slav-
ery, outrages on personal digni-
ty, conscripting child soldiers,
enslavement and pillage. He
will serve his prison termin Bri-
tain.
Pronouncing sentence in the
Special Court for Sierra Leone
in The Hague, Judge Richard
Lussick said Taylor had never
set foot in Sierra Leone but had
left a heavy footprint there. He
said the effect of Taylors crimes
on families of the victims was
devastating.
"The accused has been found
responsible for aiding and abet-
ting, as well as planning, some
of the most heinous and brutal
crimes recorded in human histo-
ry," the judge said.
Lussick said the court found
when weighing its sentence that
Taylors abuse of his positions as
Liberias president and a leader
of the regional Economic Com-
munity of West African States
was "an aggravating factor of
great weight."
Another aggravating factor
was his abuse of Sierra Leone for
financial gain.

BELLEFONTE Jerry
Sandusky lost another bid to
delay his child sexual abuse
trial on Wednesday and, in
what could be the last pre-
trial hearing before jury se-
lection begins next week,
the presiding judge heard
defense lawyers and prose-
cutors debate whether
charges should be thrown
out.
The 45-minute court hear-
ing focused on the evidence
regarding so-called Victim
8, a young man who was re-
portedly seen by a janitor be-
ing molested by the former
Penn State assistant football
coach in team showers more
than a decade ago.
Prosecutors have said the
janitor, Jim Calhoun, has de-
mentia and is not available
to testify, so they want to call
to the stand co-workers who
would recount what Cal-
houn told them.
Sandusky lawyer Joe
Amendola has argued there
is not sufficient evidence to
take the Victim 8 charges to
trial, and at the Wednesday
hearing he asked for a hear-
ing at which prosecutors
would either show he is
wrong or have Cleland dis-
miss those counts. The same
applies to charges involving
two alleged victims.
Amendola also has asked
for the remaining charges to
be dismissed on other
grounds.
Frank Fina, a prosecutor
with the state Attorney Gen-
erals Office, said it was diffi-
cult to make an argument
that the evidence is suffi-
cient when there isnt any
evidence in the record, be-
cause Sandusky waived his
preliminary hearing.
Sandusky, 68, faces 52
counts for alleged abuse of
10 boys over a 15-year peri-
od, charges he has repeated-
ly denied.

WASHINGTON President Barack
Obama called Mitt Romney on Wednes-
day to congratulate him on winning the
Republican nomination, just as the Dem-
ocrats campaign opened a new critique
of Romney by focusing attention on his
economic record as governor of Massa-
chusetts.
Thepresident toldRomneyhelooked
forward to an important and healthy de-
bate about Americas future, Obama
campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt said.
Romneys campaign said the call was
brief and cordial.
Bothmenwishedeachothers families
well during the upcoming race.
Romneys primary win in Texas on
Tuesdaynight pushedhimpast the1,144-
delegate threshold he needed to claim
the partys nomination.
Obama took the formal step of con-
gratulating his opponent even as his
team looked to shift to the Massachu-
setts story under Romney.
Romneys campaign, meanwhile, was
bringing attention to failed stimulus pro-
jects under Obama and federal money
given to green energy companies like So-
lyndra, a solar firm that received hun-
dreds of millions of dollars fromthe gov-
ernment only to go bankrupt.
The competing attack-lines came as
Romney pivoted from a long primary
slog to the Republican nomination and a
newsummertimewindowtoswayvoters
who have not yet fully tuned into the
presidential campaign.
Romney hopes to present himself as a
worthy replacement for Obama who can
help revitalize a slow-moving economy,
the most important issue for voters.
For months, Obama andhis allies have
signaled plans to target Romneys Mas-
sachusetts record, with advisers noting
that the states economy lagged in job
creation and saw an increase in debt
while he was governor from 2003-2007.
The critique will build upon a line of
attack this month of Romneys record at
private equity firm Bain Capital, which
Obamas teamcontends led to job losses
and bankrupt companies even while
Bain profited.
Republicans contendthat Obamas cri-
tique of the Bain record will backfire be-
cause it will give voters the impression
that he is anti-business.

OXON HILL, Md. In his
fifth and final National Spelling
Bee, Nicholas Rushlow had lit-
tle reason to be nervous.
The 14-year-old eighth grad-
er from Pickerington, Ohio,
strutted confidently to the mi-
crophone in a preliminary
round on Wednesday morning,
high-fiving a fellow competitor
whod just missed a word. After
greeting pronouncer Jacques
Bailly and asking for the defini-
tion of Gabbai a minor syn-
agogue official he spelled it
with ease and gave a smile and a
nod.
Rushlow has made it to the
Scripps National Spelling Bee
every year since 2008, although
hes never made the finals. His
best showing was a 14th-place
finish last year. This is his last
chance. Next year, hell be too
old.
While Rushlow was clearly at
ease, the speller before him, Ve-
to Lopez, exemplified how ago-
nizing the competition can be.
He paused for several seconds
before starting to spell blase,
then stopped even longer in the
middle of the word, cracking
his knuckles and glancing at
the television lights above him,
before misspelling it.
Local entrant Devin Reed
correctly spelled pyromaniac
and topepo in the first two
rounds. But the 12-year-old
from the Drums Elementary
Middle School failed to be se-
lected as one of the 50 compet-
itors for the semifinal round.
Reed, of Drums, won the
2012 Times Leader/Scripps
NEPA Regional Spelling Bee in
March to compete with 277
spellers.
Each had the opportunity to
spell two words onstage
Wednesday. Their scores were
combined with a 50-word com-
puter test they took Tuesday,
and no more than 50 would ad-
vance to todays semifinals.
The finals are tonight.
The winner of the 85th
Scripps National Spelling Bee
gets $30,000 in cash, a trophy, a
$2,500 savings bond, a $5,000
scholarship, $2,600 in refer-
ence works fromthe Encyclope-
dia Britannica and an online
language course.
Although spellers arent au-
tomatically eliminated for mis-
sing a word onstage during the
preliminary rounds, its all but
impossible to advance without
getting both words right.
Among those who got
through the first word un-
scathed: 6-year-old Lori Anne
Madison of Lake Ridge, Va., the
youngest speller ever to qualify
for the bee. She spelled dirigi-
ble with apparent ease after
asking for the definition and
hearing it used in a sentence.
On the way back to her seat, she
shared high-fives with several
spellers.

PENNSYLVANIAS FINEST
Incumbents in the three con-
tested state House races each
have a considerable financial ad-
vantage heading into the sum-
mer fundraising season.
The greatest disparity is in the
120th District held by Rep. Phyl-
lis Mundy, D-Kingston. Her Phyl-
lis Mundy for State Representa-
tive Committee ended the most
recent election cycle with
$51,823 in the bank
Republican Aaron Kaufer, who
is trying to unseat the 11-term in-
cumbent, had $3,544 cash on
hand as of May 14, the end of the
thirdcampaigncycle of 2012, also
known as the 30-day post-pri-
mary report.
Noticeable onthe list of donors
was $100fromKarenandRichard
Kaufer, of Kingston.
It wasnt noticeable because of
the amount but to whom the
money was contributed. It wasnt
to their nephew Aaron, but to
Mundy, a longtime family friend.
Aaron Kaufer said he believes
his aunt and uncle will be donat-
ing to his campaign as well, but
the relationship between the two
families goes back a long time,
andit was a donationmade out of
respect.
But it wasnt strong enough to
prevent Kaufer fromtrying to un-
seat the dean of the Luzerne
County delegation in the House.
This is an election about eco-
nomics, said Kaufer, who noted
he has a background in global ec-
onomics that will become a focal
point of his campaign. While he
hopes the message resonates, he
agrees that hell need to raise
more money to help get that
message out.
When youre going against a
big name like hers, you need
money. It is important, Kaufer
said.
Another contested race is in
the116thDistrict andmatches up
freshman Rep. Tarah Toohil, R-
Butler Township, against long-
timeButler TownshipSupervisor
Ransom Young, a Democrat.
Toohil, coming off one of the
biggest upsets in the state two
years ago when she knocked off
House Majority Leader Todd Ea-
chus, spent a lot of money onthat
campaign and left herself with
limited resources coming into
this election cycle.
Her Committee to Elect Tarah
Toohil had $5,788 in the bank on
May14, while the Friends of Ran-
som Young committee had
$3,971.
The only other contested race
pits freshman Rep. Gerald Mul-
lery, D-Newport Township,
against Rick Arnold, a Republi-
can homebuilder from Rice
Township in the 119th District.
This is a rematch of the 2010 race
that sawMullery win with nearly
52 percent of the votes cast.
Citizens for Mullery didnt
raise a cent the past cycle and re-
ported cash on hand of $7,282.
Arnold did not file a report,
meaning he raised and spent less
than $250.
Four incumbent house mem-
bers and one incumbent senator
are alsoonthe ballot this year but
nonehaveanydeclaredopponent

Being sidelined for a game is
better than being lost forever.
Gov. TomCorbett
Pennsylvanias top elected official on Wednesday
signed House Bill 1610, which sets new guidelines for
protecting student athletes from Sudden Cardiac
Arrest. The new law, which takes effect in 60 days, ensures that
coaches, trainers, parents and student athletes are educated on the
symptoms of SCA before the youths participate in athletics.
Together, W-B residents
can make a difference
A
s a resident of Wilkes-Barre concerned
about crime and violence in the city, I
went to the Building Bridges meeting
at Dodson Elementary in Wilkes-Barre last
Thursday evening.
It was the most worthwhile two hours
Ive spent in a long time, and I encourage
all Wilkes-Barre residents to attend at least
one of these meetings that are being held
over the next few weeks.
People from all over Wilkes-Barre at-
tended and began to figure out ways to
reduce youth violence, and find ways to
make the city better for families and all
residents. Based on the incredibly efficient
and professional way this was run, and the
outline for action so far defined, after the
series of meetings is over, I think things
will actually get done and a difference
made.
Great information was presented; the
group sessions enabled people from differ-
ent neighborhoods to sit with each other
to discuss issues and begin to develop real
solutions.
The youths of today are the adults of the
future. I believe working together we can
make a difference.
If you, like me and many others, care
about Wilkes-Barre and dont want to give
up on it, please come to one of these meet-
ings, and lets make positive change hap-
pen in Wilkes-Barre.
Here are the sessions, each set to begin
at 7 p.m., scheduled so far:
Tonight: GAR High School library.
June 7: Heights Elementary School
library.
June 14: Coughlin High School library.
June 19: Meyers High School library.

Leasing meters will be
downturn for downtown
A
s residents of Wilkes-Barres down-
town, we are very concerned with the
selling of future parking revenues by
the city. It has been only a few years since
the downtown began to take on a new life.
Businesses continue to open, and close.
But the downtown has become a revived
spot for entertainment, eating and socializ-
ing.
The downtown residents have lived
through many years of dark streets,
cracked sidewalks and empty storefronts.
It seems that just as a downtown turn-
around (which we think helps the entire
city) looks like it might last, we find the
mayor selling us out for maybe $10 million.
When the intermodal center was com-
pleted it was stressed that this would bring
people to the downtown for entertain-
ment, shopping and business. The mayor
bragged that now there would be adequate
parking spaces at a reasonable rate. And,
yes, the need for public parking might
have increased with the number of new
restaurants opening, the cinema (not ev-
eryone likes to park in garages) and events
initiated by businesses.
Now it is proposed by the same mayor
(and his cohort J.J. Murphy) that the city
lease its meters and the reasonably rated
parking garages to an outside entity. This
will take the citys downtown back to 2004,
only now streetlights will illuminate the
empty streets and storefronts. The parking
increases will only encourage people to
patronize strip malls throughout the Valley
and return to the Wyoming Valley Mall,
where they can park for free. Who really
needs to come downtown and feed me-
ters?
The use of the $20 million figure is ques-
tionable. It has been stated that an $8
million debt for the intermodal would be
paid off, and the remaining money would
be used for security which implies in-
creasing police officers presence. By the
way, one of the best deterrents to street
crime is people using the streets, inter-
acting and enjoying the restaurants and
shops.
Thirty years is a very long time. The
meters generate a sum that should remain
an income stream for the city. If a profit of
approximately $500,000 is projected for
one year, then use that money to balance
the city budget and use it wisely.
The city promises to work out all the
special-event parking issues. Does the
parking authority know about the tradition
not to put money into the meters on some
of the off streets where tickets are rarely
issued? Example: the metered spaces
across from St. Marys Church. During any
number of church services, it is typical
that no meters are fed, and illegal parking
occurs. Other meters are covered for funer-
al processions, for the Fine Arts Fiesta, etc.
When the new parking company signs
the contract, we are sure there will be
constant monitoring of meters. Will there
also be more ticketing, and who monitors
them?
If the city wants more money, why not
enforce all current meter violations? But,
then again, who really needs to come to
downtown Wilkes-Barre?
We attended a Downtown Wilkes-Barre
Business Association meeting last year and
heard a speaker address the use of smart
parking meters. There was a discussion
about the purpose of parking meters; it
was, to be sure, that there is parking avail-
able for customers of the downtown busi-
nesses. It was noted that smart meters
helped in the efficient use of the meter
monitors time. The enforcement would
concentrate on areas where there were
many overtimed meters, thereby keeping
the metered spaces rotated for general use
by the public.
The greatest concentration of ticketing
seemingly happens on and around the
Kings College and Wilkes University cam-
puses. Easy prey for the meter men/wom-
en and lucrative for the city.
Now we understand the metered areas
will increase. Will smart meters be placed
beyond the current downtown area and
continue beyond North and Ross streets to
assure more revenues from fines, now $10.
Soon to be $20.
Looks like the real reason for parking
garages and meters is to line the current
administrations budget, to make these
next years look good for the mayor.
Lets leave the meter money where it is.
Lets enforce the parking rules. Lets col-
lect on all tickets. And, lets remember that
public parking is meant to attract patrons
to the downtown, not deter them from
coming.

Commerce Clause needs
a strict interpretation
F
or a long time progressives have dis-
torted the Commerce Clause of the
U.S. Constitution.
According to the progressive interpreta-
tion, there is almost no limit on the author-
ity of the federal government to regulate
interstate commerce. This is the rationale
behind the theory that the federal govern-
ment even has the power to force each
individual to purchase health insurance.
What America needs now is a strict
interpretation of the Commerce Clause.
The U.S. Supreme Court generally em-
braced a strict interpretation of the Com-
merce Clause from the time of United
States v. E.C. Knight Co. (1895) to the
Carter v. Carter Coal Co. (1936) decision.
During this period the national govern-
ment was still granted a lot of power to
regulate interstate commerce, but not
unlimited power. Commerce was defined
as activity that truly was interstate, or that
at least had a direct affect on interstate
commerce.
The strict interpretation of the Com-
merce Clause was sensible, and it allowed
for a reasonable balance between federal
authority and state authority. By contrast,
the loose interpretation currently favored
by the progressives is very one-sided in
favor of federal authority. This view is also
extreme because it interprets the com-
merce authority of the federal government
as having almost no limit. Forcing every
American to purchase health insurance is
extreme.

TS NOT OFTEN in Penn-
sylvania that a bill aimed at
gun violence passes the
House Judiciary Commit-
tee by a 21-3 vote, then the full
House by 190-7. But that hap-
pened recently with House Bill
2331, offered by state Rep. Todd
Stephens, a Montgomery Coun-
ty Republican.
This bill is that rarest of
things, a gun measure that both
the gun lobby and its opponents
can support. The reason for this
unusual consensus is it targets
previouslyconvictedfelons, who
by law are barred from having
guns.
Surprisingly, unless a felon is
committing a crime with a gun,
no minimumpenalty is mandat-
ed by state law, which typically
allows for lenient treatment. HB
2331 closes that loophole by
threatening gun-toting felons
with certain and stiff conse-
quences.
Under the legislation, a felon
caught with a gun would receive
a five-year minimum sentence
with no chance of parole. Fur-
ther, it woulddefinetheunlawful
activity as a crime of violence,
triggering longer prison terms
for second and third offenses.
Law enforcement agencies
such as the Pennsylvania Dis-
trict Attorneys Association back
thelegislation. Ascriminalshave
no lobby, the bill should find fa-
vor in the Senate.
But because it is the firearms
equivalent of mom and apple
pie, the danger of mischief lurks.
The anti-gun violence group
CeaseFirePAfears the bill might
be amended to include obnox-
ious proposals such as giving
groupssuchastheNational Rifle
Association standing to sue mu-
nicipalities that enact ordinanc-
es against gun trafficking.
Senators should pass this bill
as is andnot turnthis moment of
consensus into an act of bicker-
ing.

two-month-old voter-
IDlaw, Gov. TomCor-
betts administration only
makes it more obvious that the
hastily imposed statute is as
flawed as it is unwarranted.
Each time state officials re-
lax requirements for
voters to document
their identity as
they did last week,
for the second time
they call into ques-
tion the paper-thin
reasoning of Corbett
and Republican leg-
islators who say they
supported the law to
thwart a specific type
of voter fraud that they could
not prove.
The governor and his aides,
including state elections chief
Carol Aichele, insist that the
requirement to show govern-
ment-issued photo identifica-
tion is needed to prevent what
is a virtually nonexistent prob-
lem in the state voter imper-
sonation.
Yet there they were last
week, announcing that the
state wouldwaive the mandate
that voters must present a
birth certificate when applying
for a nondriver state IDcard to
complywiththevoter-IDrules.
Wont that just make it easier
for their supposed legion of
phantom vote-fraud perpetra-
tors to do their dirty work?
Of course, whats happening
in the face of a convincing legal
challenge by 10 voters, backed
by the American Civil Liber-
ties Union and other rights
groups, over the constitution-
ality of the law is that the gov-
ernor is trying to make the vot-
er-ID mandate appear less on-
erous. Think of it,
though, as putting
lipstick on a pig
no offense to our
farmyard friend.
It doesnt much
matter that the
state is loosening
the guidelines for
getting the proper
papers, or that the
state Department
of Transportation is promising
to process nondriver IDs in on-
ly 10 days, rather than the
months-long wait seen in some
cases.
The fact remains that voter-
ID rules target the fundamen-
tal rights of young, minority
and elderly residents, especial-
ly in urban areas such as Phila-
delphia.
Since it appears that Corbett
and company will continue to
tie themselves in knots in a los-
ing bidto spinanunreasonable
set of restrictions on Pennsyl-
vanians franchise, its up to
Commonwealth Court to pre-
vent an electoral injustice.
Voter ID must be scrapped.

Luzerne County Public De-
fender Al Flora saidhis office can-
not say whopublic defenders rep-
resent at any time.
Judge Tina Polachek Gartley
closed the hearing to the media
and general public, though Tyler
Winsteads grandparents were al-
lowed to attend. The grandpar-
ents were Tylers guardians.
When contacted later at her
home, Winsteads grandmother,
Carol Golden, declinedcomment
and said the family was not going
to talk to reporters.
Salavantis explained the hear-
ing was closed because of the na-
ture of the charges likely to be fil-
ed. She did not elaborate.
Hearings for juveniles are typ-
ically openif potential charges in-
clude murder, voluntary man-
slaughter, aggravated assault, ar-
son, involuntary deviate sexual
intercourse, kidnapping, rape,
robbery, or criminal conspiracy
of any of the crimes listed, ac-
cording to state law.
All other charges involving ju-
veniles are closed to the public.
Sanguedolce said those types
of proceedings are closed for the
protection of the juvenile in-
volved who is presumed to be
able to be rehabilitated.
Salavantis didnot say if or when
chargeswouldbefiledintheshoot-
ing, but did say they may be com-
ing in the near future.
Since the shooting, Yusiff and
his family moved out of the
Wilkes-Barre house and relocat-
edto CoolbaughTownship, Mon-
roe County.
Yusiff told reporters the night
Winstead was shot that he heard a
gunshot and saw a man driving
away in a red or burgundy, older
model Ford Taurus. Immediately
after the shooting, Luzerne Coun-
ty 911broadcast a bulletin to be on
the lookout for the vehicle.
The search for the car has
since withered without any ex-
planation from investigators or
Salavantis.
Investigators obtained at least
six search warrants that were all
sealed. One was to obtain records
to a cellphone owned by Yusiffs
mother, Angelina DeAbreau.
Two other warrants permitted
investigators tosearchthe inside
of 117 Hill St., on April 10 and
April 13, at which time they re-
moved bleach, a computer tower
and what appeared to be blood
spatter.

Butromovich said she was go-

Naugles other daughter, Lind-

the building. Naugle has lived in
the building for five years.
The siding on the building

about 1,000feet of underground
wiring throughout the green-

11,000 square feet of shingles on
dilapidated roofs, Project Man-
ager Leo Dragon said.
On Wednesday they were
wrapping up work around the
former Conyngham Family
Cottage, including new roof
tiles on the pavilion and re-
placement of some rotting
studs and clapboard on one
end of the expansive building.
Students had cleaned rust off
the fire escape but painting it
would have to wait until the
fall, Dragon said.
Ninth-grade electrical stu-
dent Jimmy Casterline said
the farm work offered oppor-
tunities beyond the class-
room, including running con-
duit under concrete and us-
ing a drill hammer to get the
wires where they needed to
go. Brandon Goble conceded
becoming an electrician isnt
his first choice after gradua-
tion. I want to be a musi-
cian, he said after inspecting
work done in the greenhouse,
but this is something to fall

West Side Administrative Di-
rector Nancy Tkatch said the

worldexperience, but alsogave

For Mleczynski and some of
those machine students who

itage than they cared for. But
he admitted its something

LOS ANGELES -- In California, cradle
of the marijuana movement, a new poll
has found a majority of voters do not sup-
port legalization, even as they over-
whelmingly back medicinal use for "pa-
tients with terminal and debilitating con-
ditions."
Eighty percent of voters support doc-
tor-recommended use for severe illness, a
University of Southern California Dorn-
sife/Los Angeles Times poll found. But
only 46 percent of respondents said they
support legalization of general or recre-
ational use by adults, while 50 percent
oppose it. Those against using pot were
more adamant in their position, with 42
percent saying they felt strongly about
it, compared with 33 percent for propo-
nents.
The survey found opinions have not
measurably changed since voters defeat-
ed the legalization initiative Proposition
19 in 2010 by similar margins. And oddly,
given the states long role as the leader of
marijuana decriminalization and cultiva-
tion, support for sanctioning its general
use here appears to lag behind the senti-
ment in the rest of the country.
A Gallup poll in October showed sup-
port nationwide for legalizing pot at 50
percent for thefirst timesincethepollster
began asking the question in 1969, when
only 12 percent of Americans supported
it. A Rasmussen Reports survey this
month found 56 percent of voters favored
authorizingandregulatingcannabis sales
like alcohol and tobacco sales. With this
uptick in popularity, marijuana advocates
succeeded in getting initiatives qualified
for the upcoming November ballot inCol-
orado and Washington, while they failed
in California.
Dan Schnur, director of the Jesse M.
Unruh Institute of Politics at USC, said
the California numbers suggest voters are
concerned about the way the Compas-
sionate Use Act, passed in1996 to permit
medical marijuana, has been carried out.
They like the idea of providing mari-
juana for medical use, but theyre worried
that the law is being abused, he said.
Cities and counties have been strug-
gling with howto rein in the proliferation
of pot shops.
Some law enforcement agencies have
targeted them, while some have been
more lenient. Some cities have tried to
banthem, andcourts haveissuedconflict-
ing opinions as to whether, where and
how they can operate.
The federal government, which does
not recognize medical marijuana as legal,
has been shutting down dispensaries and
growers, while threatening landlords
who rent to them and cities that give
them official sanction by granting per-
mits.
Dale Gieringer, coordinator of the state
chapter of the National Organization for
the Reform of Marijuana Laws, said the
state needs to regulate its medical mari-
juana distributionbetter before the public
will go for wider use.

CHARLESTON, S.C. The
remnants of Tropical StormBer-
yl spun off a tornado that de-
stroyed three homes and dam-
aged dozens of others near the
North Carolina coast Wednes-
day as the system sped toward
the Atlantic, authorities said.
Between 40 and 50 homes
were damaged near Peletier in
the western part of Carteret
County, said county Emergency
Services Director Jo Ann Smith.
She said there were no reports of
injuries.
Many homes suffered only mi-
nor damage, but three were de-
stroyed when the winds came
through shortly before noon, she
said.
The National Weather Service
in Morehead City confirmed
Wednesdaythat a strongEF1tor-
nado with maximum winds of
110 mph caused the damage.
The remnants of the storm
were skimming the North Car-
olina coast and prompting flood
watches in eastern North Caroli-
na. Beryl was expected to gain
strength even as it loses its trop-
ical characteristics.
Heavy rains from the storm
caused some scattered street
and lowland flooding near Wil-
mington, N.C., as the system ap-
proached. Loris., S.C., near the
border of the two Carolinas, re-
ceived more than 3 inches of
rain, and radar showed heavy
showers along the Interstate 95
corridor in the two states.
The National Hurricane Cen-
ter in Miami said late Wednes-
day that Beryl was downgraded
to a post-tropical storm and its
center was located 40 miles
west-southwest of Cape Hatte-
ras, N.C., and was moving north-
east at 21 mph.
The hurricane center warned
some additional strengthening
was expected over the next cou-
ple of days. No coastal tropical
cyclone watches or warnings
were in effect Wednesday night,
forecasters said.
Reid Hawkins, a meteorolo-
gist with the National Weather
Service inWilmington, saidrain,
not wind, was the concern with
the systemandthe rainwould
be welcome. He said Wilming-
ton has received only about 75
percent of its normal rainfall this
year.
Beryl came ashore near Jack-
sonville, Fla., just after midnight
on Memorial Day as a tropical
storm with 70 mph winds. It
dumped10inches of raininsome
areas of north Florida.
It struck Cumberland Island
National Seashore off the Geor-
gia coast. The island, part of the
National Park Service, will re-
main closed to visitors until the
weekend to give rangers time to
clean up.
FredBoyles, theislands super-
intendent, said Wednesday that
downed trees and other debris
still need to be cleared before
Cumberland re-opens Saturday.
Rangers evacuated the federally
protected wilderness area reac-
hable only by boat last Sunday,
well aheadof the tropical storms
landfall.
The island off Georgias south-
east corner gets about 43,500
visitors each year.
Beryl is the second named
tropical system of the 2012 At-
lantic Hurricane season, which
doesnt officially begin until Fri-
day.

ONE CRIT-
ICAL decision
by the Scran-
ton Knights
gave the Dis-
trict 2 Class 4A
baseball cham-
pionship away.
Tommy Alexander and the
Wyoming Valley West Spartans
were happy to take it.
But only after Scranton coach
Jamie Higgins took a losing
gamble.
He instructed his starting
pitcher Tanner Schmidt, who
was tossing a shutout and had a
1-0 lead at the time, to walk Joe
Pechulis intentionally with two
outs and a runner in scoring
position in the bottom of the
fifth inning.
I was a little bit surprised,
Pechulis said.
Most fans in the stands were
shocked.
Because the move brought
Valley West cleanup hitter Tom-
my Alexander to the plate, two
innings after Alexander drove a
long out to deep center field.
Im going to second-guess
myself, Higgins said.
Hes got a lot of company
now.
Especially after Alexander,
predictably, blasted a two-run
double that nearly reached the
wall in left-center field, giving
Valley West a 2-1 lead. That
turned to 3-1 when Nick Hogan
followed by driving home Alex-
ander with a single, and by the
time the inning finally ended,
Valley West had all of its runs in
a 4-1 victory.
All because of one wrong
strategical move.
I was happy they did it, ac-
tually, Alexander said.
He appeared to take more
eagerness and focus to the plate
with him during that at-bat than
in any of his others Wednesday.
I did, Alexander said. On
that double, I really realized I
needed to get a hit for my
team.
Good hit. Bad decision.
Picking his poison
In defense of Higgins, he had
perfectly logical reasons for
making a decision he never
hesitated to call.
Most notably, Higgins ex-
plained, Pechulis had Valley
Wests only two hits including
a home run when the two
teams met in an exhibition
game earlier this year.
If we were going to get the
game tied, or lose the game, I
wanted it to be someone else,
Higgins said.
He had the support of Valley
West coach John Milius.
Im saying to myself, I would
do the same thing, Milius said.
Create a situation where theres
a force at second, a force at
third. I said, This boy (Higgins)
is on the ball.
Only Alexander nearly drove
the ball to the wall, and made
Scrantons strategy pay off with
a district title for Valley West.
He kind of expected hed get
the chance in that situation.
I wasnt surprised, Alexan-
der said of the intentional walk
to Pechulis. I wasnt hitting the
ball to my potential.
Yet, hed already hit the deep-
est ball of the day, even with

NEWARK, N.J. Anze Kopitar scored a spec-
tacular goal on a breakaway with 11:47 left in
overtime Wednesday night and the Los Angeles
Kings beat the New Jersey Devils 2-1 in Game 1
of the Stanley Cup Finals.
Kopitar faked a backhand
shot, put the puck on his fore-
hand and beat a prone Martin
Brodeur.
Los Angeles has won all nine
of its roadgames inthe playoffs,
an NHL record. The Kings are
nowone win shy of the NHL re-
cord for postseason road victo-
ries.
More importantly, they are
three wins away from the fran-
chises first NHL title. They
have won 11 consecutive road
playoff games dating back to
last season.
Colin Fraser scored in the
first period for the Kings, the
No. 8 seed in the Western Con-
ference who beat the top three
teams to get to their first Stanley Cup Finals
since 1993.

WILKES-BARRE TWP. Things
had gone well enough for John Milius
at the tail end of Wednesdays title
game. Acouple late moves hadpaidoff
and Wyoming Valley West had cap-
tured another district championship.
The only thing the Spartans coach
hadnt planned on was a celebratory
sneak attack from a couple players
with the water jug.
Warm water! Warm water next
time! Milius joked after getting the
traditional dousingfollowingtheSpar-
tans 4-1 win over Scranton in the Dis-
trict 2-4 Class 4A final at Kings Col-
leges Betzler Complex.
There usually is a next time for the
Spartans when it comes to champion-
ships. Theywontheir fourthD2titlein
seven seasons under Milius on
Wednesday and their third trip to the
state tournament in that stretch. They
will face the runner-upout of District 3
in Mondays first round at a D2 site,
possibly back at Kings.
After a pair of one-and-done per-
formances in the postseason in 2010
and 2011, the top-seeded Spartans
(15-1) are back on top.
This one feels good, Milius said.
Feels real good. It got away from us
the last two years. I thought we had
some better ballclubs than our record
showed. But were always right
there. Were always pushing.
On Wednesday, the push came in
the bottom of the fifth inning. Down

fourth trip to the PIAA Girls
Spring Soccer tournament end-

The Dawgs, though, didnt go

Twice, they tied Mechanics-

burg took the lead for good early
in the second half, the Dawgs
pressed on.
But the effort, as inspired as it
was against the slick-passing
Wildcats, still ended up in a 3-2
loss for Berwick and another
quickexit fromthestateplayoffs.
Berwick ended its season at
12-4-1, winning its second con-

all girls soccer moves to the fall
in a few months.
I felt we worked through
some stuff, some injuries, Ber-
wick coach Paul DiPippa said.
We didnt have Kelly (Shep-
tock) for the first six games, then
Caty (Davenport) got hurt. It
was the first time we scored in a

The storyline: The Bulldogs are in
their first district title game since
2008. That team became the first
and still the only WVC squad to
win a PIAA baseball championship.
The 2012 edition has a lot in com-
mon with that team, sporting a
deep and reliable pitching staff
and some timely hitting.
Berwick will need the same
confidence it had four years ago
to beat North Pocono. The Trojans
boast the most dangerous lineup
in the entire district, averaging
over 10 runs per game.

The Royals lost to Meyers and
Lake-Lehman in the title game the
past two years but will draw a

products of the 2007 Catholic

SCRANTON Blayse Cholish
immediately took a small step
forward.
By then, the Valley Viewsoph-
omore right fielder only had
time for about two steps back.
The scorching line drive off
the bat of Alex Holtz left no time
for anything else.
Cholish went up high to reach
the line drive, holding on to pro-
tect a late one-run lead on the
way to Valley Views 6-1 victory
over Wyoming Area on Wednes-
day in the District 2 Class 3A
softball final at Marywood Uni-
versity.
That could have, I think,
changed the entire tempo of the
game, Wyoming Area coach
Stephanie Griffin said. After
that, the momentumchanged in
their favor.
The catch protected a 2-1lead
by stealing what would have
been an extra-base hit from
Holtz before Valley View scored
four times in the bottom half of
the inning.
That was a heckuva play,
Valley View coach E.J. Weston
said. It was a momentum stop-
per.
Valley View third baseman
Casey Pearce, who had the
games biggest defensive gemto
that point with a diving catch of
a soft foul pop, moved to her left
to make a tough play look easy
for the first out in the top of the
sixth.
Holtz then sent her shot
straight over Cholishs head.
There was not a lot of time to
react at all, Cholish said.
Cholish jumped, reached
overhead and made the grab de-
spite having some of the ball
hangingout of the glove. She fell
to the ground, but kept her left
armraised with the ball sticking
out, showing that she had held
on.
The line drives are hardest to
catch as an outfielder, Cholish
said. You cant judge them
right.
When I took the step in, I did
my best to go back as much as I
could and put my glove up.
Valley View has allowed less
than a run per game over the
past two seasons while losing
just once 1-0 to Manheim Cen-
tral in last seasons state semifi-
nal.
The Warriors did reasonably
well making contact on and
pitcher Gina Chieffallo, who
struck out six, but none in the
last three innings. They could
not, however, get the ball past
Valley Views fielders.
In addition to Cholish and
Pearce, middle infielders Liz
Aniska and Molly Ann Mecca
made impressive defensive
plays. Aniska changed direc-
tions when a shot by Holtz went
off Chieffalos glove and made
the throw to get a close out at
first.
Their whole field was solid,
Griffin said. They made some
great plays and a fewballs fell in
for them.
Aniska and Pearce also had
three hits each as the first two
batters in the order.
Aniska singled and scored to
start the game. She led off the
third with a double and scored
again.
In between, Wyoming Area
forced a 1-1 tie in the top of the
second.
Drew Bednarski reached to
lead off the second when Valley
View committed its only error
on a throwby Aniska. Lexi Cool-
baugh sacrificed Bednarski to
second. Bednarski then scored
on a single to left field by
Adrienne Pryzbyla.
Coolbaugh singled in the
fourth for the third and final hit
off Chieffallo, who then retired
the last 10 batters.
Valley View scored four runs
in the bottomof the sixth on five
straight singles, including three
straight with the bases loaded
by Aniska, Pearce and Mecca.

For The Times Leader
SHICKSHINNY After almost
24 hours passed when Northwest
Area and Old Forge walked off
the field in the District 2 Class A
semifinal, the Rangers needed
less than an hour to eliminate the
Blue Devils.
Fifteen of those minutes came
in a five-run bottom of the sixth
as Northwest knocked off Old
Forge, 5-1 to advance to the dis-
trict finals for the first time since
2009 after two straight losses in
the district semifinals, including
last year to Old Forge.
These girls are fighters.
Theyve been fighters all season
long in the big games, Rangers
coach Karen May said. They
wanted this game here today. Its
been looming over their heads
the last fewyears in the semifinal
and they got the job done.
Trailing1-0 entering the last of
the sixth, the Rangers finally got
to Old Forge pitcher Taylor Ne-
metz, who had kept them in
check the first five innings, only
giving up two hits before the out-
burst.
In the big frame, Northwest
battedaroundpilingupfive runs,
three hits andtwowalks. Nemetz
hadnt walked a batter before
walking Rachel Linso and Susie
Mendegro consecutively to load
the bases after a run already
scored. An RBI-double by Sara
Gleco knotted the game at 1.
With the bases loaded, the
stage was set for freshman Mag-
gie Murphy.
Withone swing, the thirdbase-
man unloaded the bags with a
two-out, three-runtriple toright-
center to put the Rangers ahead
4-1.
It just kind of happened,
Murphy said. I was really nerv-
ous at first, but it all came togeth-
er and I got that hit, basically the
game-winning hit so I feel good.
Theres a little more pressure
when the bases are loaded. And
there were two outs so there was
a little more pressure.
Northwest, which will play on
Friday in the district title game
against the winner of todays
semifinal between Blue Ridge
and MMI Prep, added another
run in the inning on a run-scor-
ing single from Taylor Perlis to
give hurler Linso more breathing
room and a 5-1 lead.
Linso, who tossed all seven in-
nings only giving up four hits
while fanning six, got stronger
when she knew the game was in
her hands.
The senior allowed a one-out
single to Chelsea Cadwalder in
the top of the seventh, but struck
out the side to end the game and
send her teaminto the district ti-
tle contest.
Rachels been a great asset to
our teamand were going to miss
her, May added. She gives it
her all and leaves it out on the
field. Shedoes get stronger as the
game goes on. I knew that, the
girls knew that and it was just a
matter of putting the ball in
play.
The game resumed in the top
of the third with a 1-1 count on
the Devils Brea Carling. She
laceda single tostart thenscored
on a Northwest error for a 1-0
lead.
Six Blue Devils hitters batted
in the inning, which consisted of
two Rangers miscues.
After that, Linso was on her
game with only two more Old
Forge batters reaching base.
After registering in Tuesdays
first inning, the Rangers only had
one hit until the five-run sixth
and that was a single by Maranda
Koehn in the fifth.
It just all came together (in
the sixth), Murphy noted. We
just really wanted this win and
we did it.
Linso reached base three times
and scored a run to help her
cause. Her counterpart Nemetz
tossed six innings allowing five
hits, two walks and struck out
three, while the Devils Lauren
Carey was the lone player with
two hits fromeither side going 2-
for-3.

Five-run sixth inning enough

consecutive Class A titles.

had allowed just two hits in the
first five innings and the Chiefs
did not get a runner past second
base until the sixth inning.
Hannah was on with every
pitch she had today, Wolfe said.
Every pitch her curveball, her
screwball she was in control to-
day.
Nanticoke scored in the first as
Sammy Gow, who had three hits,
came home on a single to center
by Kayley Schinski. Lakeland
kept the damage to a minimum
on the play as center fielder Dana
Prudente threw out Kowalski at
the plate to end the inning.
Lakeland knotted the game in
the sixth inning as Sam Amorine
singled to left and moved to sec-
ond on a sacrifice. Then Allison
in. And as shes done throughout
the District 2 Class 2A tourna-
ment, Katie Wolfe delivered in
the clutch to give Nanticoke a 2-1
victory over Lakeland in the dis-
trict championship game at
Wilkes Ralston Athletic Com-
plex.
It felt so good. I knew that
with two outs, as soon as Katie
hit the ball, I just ran as hard as I
could, Hillan said of scoring the
winning run. This is our senior
year. It feels good to be the dis-
trict champions. Its another step
toward our final goal.
Hillan opened the bottom of
the eighth with a single to center
off Lakelandpitcher AlissaSteier.
With Katie Kowalski looking to
bunt, Hillan stole second. Kowal-
ski followed by shooting a ball in-
to right field for a single, and Hill-
an rounded third.
Yeah, but I saw the ball right
there infront of me, Hillansaid. I
wasnt sure Id make it home safe-
ly.
Theframewent fromrunnerson
second and third and none out to
basesloadedandtwooutsasWolfe
steppedin. Consecutiveballs away
ran the count to 3-1, leaving Wolfe
locked in on a pitch to hit.
I went up there a little nervous,
but when the count got to 3-1, I
knew she was going to give me a
strike, Wolfe said. I had struck
out the past two times up. I just
wanted to hit the ball. I backed off
the plate figuring she would work
me inside.
She lofted the ball into left field,
easily bringing home the winning
run for the second time in three
games. Wolfe also had the game-
winning RBI against Dunmore in
the district quarterfinals and had
an insurance RBI in a 2-0 win over
Montrose in the semifinals.
I felt like it was a pop-up to
short. I rounded first and saw it
drop, Wolfe said of Wednesdays
game-winner. I saw it drop in. It
was the most amazing feeling.
Hannah Rubasky pitched an-
other gem, getting seven of her
first nine outs via strikeouts. She
Kraky had one of her three hits, a
single to left that brought home
Amorine just ahead of an amaz-
ing throw by Gow up the line.
Nanticokewill playtheDistrict
11 champion on Monday in the

ment.

second half. The junior for-
ward connected on a 25-yard
liner that sent the D3 sixth
seed Wildcats (17-6-1) to the
quarterfinals on Saturday
against D3 fourth seed Bishop
McDevitt.
Berwick never quite found
offensive continuity through-
out the second half. Its final
hope came with1:16 remaining
when Karleigh Hartman made
a strong run down the right
side only to be stopped well be-
fore the 18-yard line.
Even so, Berwick gained the
respect of Mechanicsburg.
Berwick certainly seems
like a teamthat plays really, re-
ally hard and never gives up,
Mechanicsburg coach Tony
Lougee said. We knew that
about them going in.
Berwick could have. Like
last years 4-0 loss to Manheim
Township, Berwick was in a
hole very early. Just 1:41 into
the game, Meghan Ross pop-
ped in a rebound for a 1-0 Wild-
cat lead.
Davenport, though, stuck
less than two minutes later to
tie the score. Olivia Conklin
sent a long pass to Davenport,
who got around her defender
in the penalty area.
But once again Zelenky
came up big. She and Shep-
tock, considered by most
coaches as the WyomingValley
Conferences best defender,
were running stride-for-stride
at the left post. Zelenky pulled
up about 10 yards from the
goal, giving her a split second
to fire in another goal.
Sheptock got some revenge
in the 30th minute, starting a
scoring play with a long direct
that resulted in a goal by Hart-
man and a 2-2 tie.
I felt when we got the sec-
ond goal and tied, we got a lot
of confidence, DiPippa said.
And we played with a lot of
confidence. I felt we were the
more physical teamthan them.
But their passing on the
ground just ate us up.

Brodeur. As soon as he rifled the
puck into the net, he raised his
hands and banged himself into
the boards, facing the crowd off
to Brodeurs right.
The veteran goaltender de-
jectedly skated off to the locker
room as the rest of the Kings
piled on Kopitar.
Kings goaltender Jonathan
Quick finished with 17 saves in
what was a relatively easy night.
Brodeur had23saves as the Dev-
ils lost in overtime for just the
second time this postseason;
they have won four times. LA is
3-0 in overtime this spring.
The Devils had two great
chances to take the lead early in
the third period, and for a split
second it appeared they went
ahead with16:02 to play in regu-
lation when Zach Parise scored
off a wild goal-mouth scramble.
While the horns went off and
the fans celebrated, referee Dan
OHalloranquicklywavedoff the
goal.
It was reviewed in Toronto
andreplay clearly showedParise
swept the puck into the net with
his hand.
Defenseman Mark Fayne was
probably kicking himself six
minutes later when he missed a
wide-open net from the edge of
the crease in what was the Dev-
ils best period of the night.
The Kings had their chances,
too, with Brodeur making two
outstanding saves about 10 sec-
onds apart. He made a stacked-
pad save on a one-timer by de-
fenseman Drew Doughty from
30 feet after a drop pass from
Mike Richards. A turnover sec-
onds later set up Dustin Penner
for a shot from the left circle.
The Kings came intothe finals
after steamrolling the top three
seeds inthe WesternConference
in just 14 games, and they made
the Devils look ordinary in the
first 40minutes, holdingthemto
nine shots.
But a fluke goal byVolchenkov
tiedthe game with1:12left inthe
second.
Volchenkov took a shot from
the left point that Quick kicked
away in front.
The puck went airborne,
avoided Devils forward Patrik
Elias in front and hit off the
shoulder of Kings defenseman
Slava Voynov before going into
the net.

That made Alexander the big-
gest threat in Valley Wests li-
neup Wednesday.
I really wanted to hit, but Ill
take the intentional walk, said
Pechulis, one of the most dan-
gerous hitters in Valley Wests li-
neup. Tommy, hes a great hit-
ter. Hes extremelypowerful and
will put it out at any time. And
he almost did. Plus, its a sign of
respect for me as a hitter.
They paid.
That only happened because
Alexander came through with
the biggest clutch hit of Valley
Wests 15-1season. All because a
logical decision backfired at the
decisive time.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. Dellin
Betances pitched six solid in-
nings for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre,
as the Yankees defeated the Tole-
doMudHens 5-2at Frontier Field
on Wednesday.
Betances (3-4) claimed the
win, allowing two runs on four
hits and four walks while striking

Gustavo Molinas solo home
run to left in the fourth inning
gave the homestanding Yankees
the lead for good, breaking a 2-2
tie. It was just the catchers sec-
ond home run of the season. The
hit lifted the soft-hitting back-
stops average to .200.
The Yankees (29-22) erased a
two-run deficit in the bottom of
the third inning when Matt Anto-
nelli roped an RBI single to cen-
terfield and Steve Pearce added
an RBI double to left.
In the seventh inning, Ronnier
Mustelier singled to drive in Anto-
nelli from third, extending the
Scranton/Wilkes-Barreleadto4-2.

WASHINGTON Knowl-
edgeable baseball fans can argue
all daywhether it was thesplit-fin-
ger fastball and not perform-
ance-enhancing drugs that
kept Roger Clemens on top of his
game well into his 30s and be-
yond. His lawyers are trying to
make that point at a trial where
basic terms such as Fenway
Park and foul pole require an
explanation for a jury of nonfans.
Former journeyman catcher
Charlie OBrien was on the stand
Wednesday for the defense at the
Clemens perjury trial. He was
fuzzy about lots of details,
couldnt come up with a real
name for the player known as El
Duque and totally dissed the
1997 Toronto Blue Jays medical
staff. But there was no doubt in
his mind about two things: Clem-
ens was not a cheater, and the
weapon Clemens mastered at age
34 was the chief reason the 11-
time All-Star was able to pitch for
another decade.
That pitch right there the
split-finger fastball, OBriensaid.
OBrien caught Clemens
games for much of the 1997 Blue
Jays season, a crucial time period
as prosecutors attempt to prove
that Clemens lied when he told
Congress in 2008 that he never
took steroids and human growth
hormone. After being discarded
following 13 seasons with the
BostonRedSox Bostons then-
general manager, Dan Duquette,
saidat the time that Clemens was
in the twilight of his career a
motivated Clemens arrived in To-
ronto and promptly won back-to-
back Cy Young Awards in 1997-
98.
But it was also in 1998 that
Clemens met strength coach
Brian McNamee, who says he in-
jected the pitcher with steroids
andHGHover thefollowingthree
years andtestifiedthat he hadthe
impressiontheClemens hadused
steroids previously. The govern-
ment used its cross-examination
of witnesses Wednesday to rein-
force its claimthat Clemens turn-
ed to performance-enhancing
drugs to help his aging body re-
cover more quickly during the
physically demanding major
league seasons.
Also on the stand was Darrin
Fletcher, Clemens catcher from
the1998 Blue Jays season. Fletch-
er testified that he didnt see
Clemens at a pool party at team-
mate Jose Cansecos house in
Florida inJune of that season, but
Fletcher alsosaidhe left the party
around 1:30 p.m. A government
witness recalled seeing Clemens
at thepartylater intheday. Oneof
the lesser charges against Clem-
ens is that he lied when he told
Congress that he wasnt at the
party at all.
In front of a jury consisting
mostly of people who know little
about baseball, Clemens lawyer
Rusty Hardin went for a visual ef-
fect toexplainhowthesplit-finger
revolutionized Clemens game,
striking a pose as a left-handed
hitter in front of OBrien, who
pantomimedthegripof abaseball
while seated in the witness chair.
It just totally changed how he
could approach each hitter,
OBrien said.
OBrien was even a better wit-
ness for the defense during cross-
examination, when he volun-
teeredthat Clemens wouldrefuse
to throw scuffed baseballs be-
cause Clemens considered it
cheating. He said he once ap-
proached Clemens on the mound
during a game with a scuffed ball
and said, This is a great ball to
use. He said Clemens respon-
ded: I dont need that.
I dont think hed cheat,
OBrien said.

China plans stimulus
Chinas Cabinet has approved plans
to promote development of seven
emerging industries including clean
energy as it tries to restructure the
economy and boost growth.
The announcement comes as Beijing
is trying to fight an economic slump
with spending on affordable housing
and public works construction.
Other emerging industries targeted
for support include environmental
protection, information technology,
biology, advanced equipment manu-
facturing, new materials and new-
energy vehicles, the Cabinet said.
Chinas economic growth fell to a
nearly three-year low of 8.1 percent in
the first quarter.
Wal-Mart faces protests
Retail giant Wal-Mart Stores is facing
a wave of protests this week pushing
for company leadership changes at its
annual meeting Friday.
The goal of protesters, organizers
said, is to oust some Wal-Mart board
members and push for more corporate
transparency in the wake of allegations
of widespread bribery in the companys
Mexican subsidiary.
Wal-Mart has recommended voting
for all the directors on the ballot and
voting against all the proposals put
forth by shareholders.
Most jobless rates fall
The Labor Department says unem-
ployment rates fell in nearly all large
U.S. cities in April from March, aided
by summer hiring on farms and in
tourist destinations.
The metro employment data isnt
seasonally adjusted and can be volatile
from month to month. The jobless rate
in the labor market that includes Lu-
zerne, Lackawanna and Wyoming
counties showed a decline in the unad-
justed figures but was steady at 8.7
percent when seasonal fluctuations
were taken into account.
Pending home sales slip
A gauge of Americans who signed
contracts to buy homes fell in April
from nearly a two-year high in the
previous month. Still, sales are well
ahead of last years level for the same
month, a sign that a slow recovery in
the housing market continues.
The National Association of Realtors
says that its index of sales agreements
dropped to 95.5, down from101.1 in
March but above the 83.5 of a year ago.

SNAP, CRACKLE,
POP.
Listen to whats
going on inside your
computer and youll
hear a whole host of
clicking, whirring
and humming.
It might come as a surprise, but a
lot of todays high-tech gadgetry
works on principles that are decades
old.
Take, for example, the conventional
computer hard drive. Weve depended
on hard drives for decades to store
our information. Weve laughed as we
replayed a funny video downloaded
from email and weve cried as the
hard drive failed and took with it all
those important files.
As solid state drives with no mov-
ing parts become commonplace, and
with Internet-based cloud storage
increasingly popular, the once ubiqui-
tous hard drive that has clicked and
clacked its way into our hearts for
years might find itself tossed on the
trash heap, alongside the 56k modem
and the dot-matrix printer.
And how many of us ever took the
time to find out what all that noise
was about?
Like many storage technologies, a
hard drive can trace its roots to the
humble record player.
A typical hard drive when opened
looks like a series of metal platters
stacked on a spindle, with read/write
heads hovering over each disc mount-
ed to a swing-arm. Viewed from the
top, the whole thing looks a lot like
an old-style turntable.
The arm itself is mounted to a mag-
net, which is used to move it to vari-
ous points on the discs at an extreme-
ly high rate of speed while writing
data.
The heads mounted to the arm
dont touch the discs -- theyre mount-
ed just above the surface and float on
a cushion of air generated by the discs
spinning at 7,200 rpm. The discs are
coated with a layer of magnetic mate-
rial that records the data again,
descended from classic old-school
audio technology the same stuff
used in cassette tapes of yesteryear.
The trademark clicking noise of a
computer at work is made by the
sound of that arm rapidly snapping
back and forth, writing and reading
information from
various points on
the disc.
So, even with all
the added complex-
ity, that 3 terabyte
hard drive in your
new computer is
essentially an over-
grown, super-
charged fusion of
record-player and
cassette technol-
ogy, with micropro-
cessors mixed in.
Although solid state drives seem
sure to render conventional hard
drives obsolete, the old technologys
large capacity and relatively low price
tag should keep them on the shelves
and in our computers for at least a
few more years.

BRUSSELS The European
Unions executive office on
Wednesday said the17-country eu-
rozone needs a banking union
that can centrally oversee and if
needed bail out the sector, which
has become a weak link in the con-
tinents financial system.
Fears that the cost of bank res-
cues could cause governments to
need bailouts of their own have
been fueling Europes debt crisis in
recent months.
Spain is in a particularly bad sit-
uation because its banks are not
only holding massive amounts of
shaky government bonds but also
sittingonhugelosses onreal estate
investments. The countrys bor-
rowing rates have hit record highs
this week as investors worry it
does not have the money tosave its
banks. One of them asked for (eu-
ro) 19 billion ($23.6 billion) last
week.
But Europes attempts to ad-
dress the weakness of some coun-
tries banking sectors has beenhin-
dered by the lack of a central au-
thoritywiththepower totell banks
what to do to improve their bal-
ance sheets.
Highlighting the urgency of the
issue, the European Commission
suggested Wednesday that regula-
tionof the entire eurozone banking
sector be done centrally and that
the cost of bailouts be shared.
Part of the proposal would see
the eurozones permanent bailout
fund, the ESM, charged with help-
ing pay for bank bailouts. That
would protect individual govern-
ments from having their public fi-
nances overwhelmedby the cost of
rescuing a bank.
Germany, however, has long
been against such an arrangement
because, as the currency blocs pay-
master, it would fund the lions
share of any expenses the Europe-
an bailout fund runs into.

EU calls for banking union

MESHOPPEN Job seekers hoping to break
into the Marcellus Shale gas drilling business
have an opportunity to shake hands, exchange
cards and pass resumes at a combination job fair
and natural gas expo Friday in Wyoming County.
The Wyoming County Chamber of Commerce
has hosted an annual job fair for at least a decade
anda natural gas expofor the past three years, but
this year it decided to hold a larger combined
event at the Wyoming County Fairgrounds in
Meshoppen. Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
There will be more than 135 booths sponsored
by area companies and organizations, among
themat least 25drillingcompanies andgas indus-
try service providers.
Chamber Executive Director Maureen Dispen-
za said those companies are seeking candidates
for at least 50 positions through the fair, and un-
like other recent job fairs, most of the openings
are not in multi-level marketing and sales.
These jobs are production jobs for the gas
companies; theyre mechanic jobs, Dispenza
said. The jobs themselves are good solid jobs.
The event is sponsored by three natural gas
companies: Southwestern Energy Corp., Wil-
liams and Citrus Energy Corp.
Southwestern supports the opportunity to
foster local business relationships in our commu-
nity, spokeswoman Susan Richardson said. We
will also have information about open positions
available in Pennsylvania at the event.
At a time when natural gas drilling has slowed
and shifted westward in Pennsylvania, Dispenza
acknowledged that some companies have slowed
hiring, but she said there still are opportunities
for those who look.
Southwestern is still drilling up here; Wil-
liams is still laying their pipeline, Dispenza said.
Theyre still committedtothe communityand
some are still hiring, just not at the same scale
that they were a year ago, she added.

Theres a chance, a pretty good one, that well nev-
er decide what makes a good mom.
Roughly 150 years of women holding jobs outside
the home (remember those Civil War nurses?), and
were still fighting the should-they-or-shouldnt-they
battle over working moms. We devour books about
tiger moms and French moms and measure our
styles against these archetypes. We scold moms for
not breast-feeding, and then scold them for (gasp!)
breast-feeding. We paint them as overbearing heli-
copters, even as we swap stories of A Mom Who
Wouldnt Put Down Her Cellphone Long Enough to
Play With Her Kid.
At the same time, no other figure is revered in our
culture like Mom. We canall conjure a mommay-
be our own, maybe someone elses who fed us,
lovedusandshapeduslikenoother forceinour lives.
So while theres no broadly accepted definition of
good mothering, were surrounded indeed, sus-
tained by examples.
I recentlywas foundonFacebookbyafriendfrom
elementary school,
and as much as I re-
member her, I re-
member her mother
even more clearly,
who was the first
French person I think
Idevermet,saysHo-
ma Sabet Tavangar,
author of Growing
Up Global: Raising
Children To Be at
Home in the World
(Ballantine Books).
Unlike so many im-
migrants in the early
1970s, this mom
wasnt tryingtoblend
in or give in to the
pressure of her chil-
dren to be like every-
one else.
Bernadette, Ta-
vangar recalls, al-
ways lookedfashiona-
ble, wore light makeupandheels inthe middle of the
day, made gorgeous French dinners and never, ever
spoke English with her children.
The moms whostaywithus inspirit or bodyor
both come into our lives when were starting to
figureout whowewant tobe. Weoftenhear theword
selfless attached to mothering, but those moms
who stay with us find a way of honoring both them-
selves and the ones they love.
My grandmother had that selfless piece, says
family psychotherapist Arden Greenspan-Goldberg,
but you always sawthis other dimension where she
wouldjust get upanddance. Shewas always singing.
Shehadatremendoussenseof self, andyoucouldsee
her strength fromwithin.
That grandmother Tillie shapedGreenspan-
Goldberg in countless ways, from her decision to
practice therapy to the way she raised her own two
children.
I think she taught me that a loving mother is
someonewhois reallylookingout for their kids, she
says. Someone whos in their corner and helping
them find their way and find their passion and be-
come the best version of the person theyre meant to
be.
Greenspan-Goldberg says that as a child, she felt a
deeper kinshipwithher grandmother thanher moth-
er. But ashermotheragedanddevelopedmoreof her
own interests and pursuits, their bond deepened.
Its almost like as she got older and more confi-
dent in her own skin, she was more able to be there
for me as well, she says. I always told my children:
Love yourself fromthe inside out, and dont try to be
someoneyourenot. AndI thinkthatsamessageI got
frommy grandmother and, later, frommy mother as
well.

W
ith so much to do at Community Park in
Duryea, 5-year-old Brady Mullin of West
Pittstonwasnt quite sure where tobegin.
Im going to go on the slide, he said to his dad,
J.J., before taking a detour to two spinning cups on
one side of the park, then changing his mind and
running for a smaller, different slide.
Its difficult not to get overwhelmed when walking
into the park on Stephenson Street. The mountain-
ous Mega Tower that sits at the back of the play-
ground is enough to stop any park enthusiast in his
or her tracks. It has five slides, rock walls and vari-
ous climbing apparatuses, as well as a section of
signs that teachchildrenSpanishandsignlanguage.

Tavangar, the mother of three,
now advises governments, busi-
nesses and nonprofits around the
world on cross-cultural issues a
pursuit that was, at least in part,
set in place in childhood.
I was influenced by howexotic
and glamorous and interesting
(Bernadette) was, at the same
time that she was friendly andfun-
ny and totally down-to-earth, she
says. Her example might have
planteda seedfor my owninterest
inlearningFrench, intravelingand
in becoming that mom (who)
was not afraid to be herself, while
also remaining really interested in
her kids and her neighborhood.
It was not the mothers French-
ness, but rather her poise and
pride in who she was that made
such an impression. There were
two immigrant mothers in the
neighborhood at the time, and my
mother alsocarried, andcontinues
todoso, herself withgraceandwas
a great cook even on week-
nights, she adds. So it may have
also validated my own mothers
different-ness.
That part about a great cook
bringsustothenot-small matter of
food.
When I was a child all the kids
wanted to come to my house to
play because my mom was so
cheerful and kind, says Fran Wal-
fish, authorof TheSelf-AwarePar-
ent: Resolving Conflict and Build-
ing a Better Bond With Your
Child (PalgraveMacmillan). She
would always ask my friends, Are
you hungry? Can I make you a
steak? Everything in our house
was homemade.
I often positioned myself, Ta-
vangar recalls, of her Frenchneigh-
bors, to play at their house before
dinner so that I could see what
they were having and possibly be
invited to stay over.
And what are home-cooked
meals, if not a perfect balance of
selflessness and self-expression?
The quality that makes a mom
wonderful is balance, Walfish
says. Sheiscomfortablewithboth
nurturing her child and being
clear, firm and following through.
She is warmandsturdy, andat the
same time she is tender and
strong. She is in perfect harmony.
She is balance.

Ive never seen anything like
that, and we go to a lot of differ-
ent parks all the time, J.J. said.
This is definitely the nicest
one.
The Webscape is a sinister-
looking structure that sits at the
entrance and is a favorite of Mary
Bruin, 10, of Old Forge.
It makes you feel like youre in
a big spider web, she said of the
twisted cables that sit around a
center pole and rise up into the
sky. Its hard, too, because if
youre not careful youll get stuck,
but thats kind of a fun thing to
do.
Even more fun is the fact that
anyone inside the Webscape can
make the entire structure shake if
they want by moving their body
back and forth, making for a
trickier climb.
The park also has a covered pa-
vilion and a special play area for
younger children.
Adults also applaud the diver-
sions.
These courts are really nice,
J.J. said of the basketball/roller
hockey courts. Sometimes Ill
bring a ball and shoot around
while Bradys playing.
A skate park is stationed be-
hind the courts for those on
bikes, in-line skates or skate-
boards.
The variety of this park is
great, J.J. said. No matter what
group you have, youre covered
and, more importantly, its safe.

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I am
a 70-year-old wid-
ower with three
grown children. My
girlfriend is 53. We
dated for several
months before she
moved in with me. I
thought maybe with her living here I
might fall in love with her. It has not,
and will not, happen.
I hate to break her heart, but I
know now that I will never ask her to
marry me. I intend to remain single
for the rest of my life.
How do I bring closure to this re-
lationship? What are the words? Im
lost. I was married for 40 years, and I
just do not wish to be married again.
How do I tell this nice lady?
In a Bind in Texas
Dear In A Bind: Having the woman
move in with you hoping you would
fall in love with her was a huge mis-
take, and one you should not repeat.
When you say what you need to say,
have plenty of tissue handy and ex-
pect her to be tearful and angry.
Start by saying, We need to talk.
Tell her she has done nothing wrong,
and it is not a failure on her part, but
you realize that you do not wish to
remarry. Explain that feeling as you
do, it would be best if she moved. Of-
fer to help her find a place if she has
nowhere to go. You will be doing both
of you a favor by being upfront NOW.
Dear Abby: I am a young, recently
married woman. My husband and I
are at the point where were thinking
about having kids. My brother mar-
ried a close friend of mine not long af-
ter my wedding. My sister-in-law has
a medical condition that may prevent
her from having children.
I am very close to my brother and
his wife, and I can see the writing on
the wall. She brought up surrogacy
once in passing, as a possible alterna-
tive if she cant have kids.
If Im asked to be the surrogate,
what advice do you have? I would be
willing to consider it, but only after
my husband and I have had our own
children. Would it be selfish of me to
also expect some compensation for
my time and the toll it will take on
my body? I want to be ready if and
when Im asked. What would be the
best way to explain my reasoning?
Backup Mom in the Northwest
Dear Backup Mom: You should
explain your thinking to your sister-
in-law as you have addressed them
in your letter. It would be wise to
consult an attorney who specializes
in adoption/surrogacy to learn about
the laws and procedures that apply in
your state.
Dear Abby: I am an adult male with
a longtime problem. Whether its a
sad or happy occasion, I start crying,
sometimes sobbing.
I am at a new point in my life
where I can no longer avoid these sit-
uations. People think its not normal.
Please dont suggest I live with it. Is
there a magic pill to control this?
Big Crybaby in Brooklyn, N.Y.
Dear Crybaby: There is no pill that
can help you control those emotions
that I know of. And I do not recom-
mend you live with it. I do think,
however, that if you discuss with a
therapist what it is about sad and
happy occasions that causes such an
extreme reaction that you could get
quickly to the bottom of it and learn
to better control those emotions.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Marriage isnt in the cards for elderly widower and his new girlfriend
To receive a collection of Abbys most
memorable and most frequently re-
quested poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus
check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in
Canada) to: Dear Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box
447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage
is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You can
let the past inform you without
getting stuck there. Dwelling on
the past would only prevent you
from seizing the glorious oppor-
tunities of the here and now.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If your
duties feel exhausting, consider
taking a break. There are times
when doing nothing is far more
productive than wearing yourself
out.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Even if
your current situation isnt ideal
(and whose is?), you wouldnt
want to go back to where you
were. Remind yourself of all
youre grateful for and all youve
been able to create in your life.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). A
curtain closing doesnt have to
mean the end of the play, so
dont let it be a disappointing
experience. More than likely, the
curtain will open again after a
complete change of scenery has
occurred.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your ideas
are stellar, but they may not be
quite ready to present to the
world. Keep honing them. Test
them out on your core group of
trusted cohorts.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A task
no longer brings you joy, and
youd just as soon not do it but
your high level of responsibility
wont allow you to bail, so youre
stuck. Change your attitude and
push through.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The
moon favors you now, and so
will other people. The consum-
mate egalitarian, you may not
be extremely comfortable with
favoritism, but youd do well to
take advantage of it.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When
youre happy, youll be produc-
tive, effective and smart. When
youre not happy, nothing will go
quite right. So put this day on
the right track: Make yourself
happy.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Answers are forthcoming, so you
may as well ask the big ques-
tions. If you ask questions that
challenge your own fundamental
assumptions, what you learn will
rock your world.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Challenges will be solved by
drawing on diverse ideas and
knowledge. Cast your net wide.
Talk to friends who have a back-
ground that is very different
from yours. Research in unusual
places.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You
might be in a position to give
criticism, and if its not all good,
try to do it in person. Face to
face is the best way to handle
anything you have to share
thats less than complimentary.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You are
a compassionate teacher. This
is a gift youll get the opportu-
nity to share with others today.
Seeing people blossom will be
most rewarding.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (May 31).
Success is easier for you to cre-
ate than it once was. Having
picked up some shortcuts, youll
skip to what works. In June,
youll rally the troops and lead
them to victory. Relationships
fortify you in July, and one in
particular stands out. Pisces and
Cancer people adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 6, 49, 2, 39
and 18.
