WILKES-BARRE One year
ago today, the supposed drive-
by shooting death of a 14-year-
old city boy had certain Wilkes-
Barre residents on edge, with
their eyes peeled for an older-
model burgundy Ford Taurus.
After months of investiga-
tion, authorities announced in
August that
Tyler Winstead
had instead
acci dent al l y
been shot in
the chest by his
friend, Elijah
Yusiff, inside
Yusiffs home
at 117 Hill St.,
Wilkes-Barre.
The alleged coverup of informa-
tion and evidence by Yusiff and
his mother, Angelina DeAbreu,
31, of Stroudsburg, is still unre-
solved; a trial date for DeAbreu
is set for next month.
Winstead, a high honors stu-
dent at Wilkes-Barre Areas GAR
Junior/Senior High School, was
recalled by many at the time of
his death as a smiling, studious
teen who enjoyed football and
basketball.

SPORTS, 7B
Refurbished stadiumdoesnt disappoint on opening night
MOOSIC Through long
hours and freezing temperatures,
Chuck Anstett and a team of
sheet metal workers raced to beat
the clock on the completion of a
revamped PNC Field.
They did it for a season full of
moments like Thursdays.
A team with a new name and
mostly new players returned
to Moosic to play minor league
baseball for the rst time in two
seasons when the Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre RailRiders made its
debut against the Pawtucket Red
Sox.
But the real star of the show
was the teams new-look home.
I love the new stadium, said
Dan Wojciechowski, a White Ha-
ven resident and New York Mets
fan who was awed by PNC Fields
fan-friendly look. I was here 20
years ago to watch the Red Bar-
ons. Its a complete full-circle
from the old stadium.
Quite literally.
With its wrap-around con-
course, absence of a hulking
second deck and super-sharp,
high-denition scoreboard, the
new PNC Field was a sharp con-
trast to its predecessor which
opened in 1989 as Lackawanna
County Stadium. And the differ-
ences seemed to strike the fancy
Champ, Reggie Jackson and Quill joke for the cameras during
the RailRiders home opener in Moosic.

POLICE BLOTTER
WILKES-BARRE A
man who survived a gunshot
wound to the neck during a
botched robbery will have to
wait to again see the alleged
gunman face to face.
Sean Gerard Washington,
19, was arraigned Thursday
via video conference from the
Monroe County Correctional
Facility on charges he shot
Justin Coletta inside an apart-
ment on South Grant Street on
Dec. 23.
City police allege Washing-
ton, John Najil Gwaltney, 19,
of Avoca, and Miguel Maleno
Jr., 20, of Wilkes-Barre, teamed
up to rob Coletta.
Police continue to search for
Gwaltney and Maleno, who
are each facing robbery and
conspiracy charges.
Coletta underwent several
surgeries at Geisinger Wyo-
ming Valley Medical Center in
Plains Township. He attended
the brief proceeding before
District Judge Rick Cronauer,
who arraigned Washington
on two counts of aggravated
assault and one count each of
criminal attempt to commit
robbery, criminal conspiracy
to commit robbery, illegal pos-
session of a rearm and re-
arms not to be carried without
a license.
Cronauer set bail at $75,000
for Washington, who remains
at the Monroe County prison
on charges he threatened his
mothers boyfriend with a gun
in Middle Smitheld Town-
ship on Jan. 29.
Coletta apparently will have
to wait until Washingtons pre-
liminary hearing, scheduled
for April 16, to see his alleged
attacker.
According to the criminal
complaint:
Coletta told police that
Maleno, a friend whom he had
not seen in months, contacted
him on Facebook. Coletta was
with other friends in his apart-
ment, playing video games,
when Maleno, Gwaltney and
Washington showed up on
Dec. 23.
Coletta said he felt some-
thing was wrong when Male-
no, Gwaltney and Washington
kept asking about the apart-
ment building having surveil-
lance cameras.
Maleno went outside and
sat in a vehicle. Coletta said
he felt Gwaltney and Washing-
ton were luring him outside
the apartment because he had
his friends inside. Coletta said
that when he came out into a
hallway, Washington pointed a
handgun at his head, the com-
plaint says.
Washington red and Co-
letta was struck in the neck,
according to the complaint.
Witnesses identied Maleno
and Gwaltney for their alleged
roles in the botched robbery
and shooting. Washington was
identied with facial recogni-
tion software at the Pennsyl-
vania Criminal Intelligence
Center, police said.
Anyone with information
about the whereabouts of
Maleno and Gwaltney is asked
to call Wilkes-Barre police at
826-8101.
DUPONT The building
looks solid, but most problems
are subtle and out of sight,
Pittston Area School District of-
cials contend.
The roof sports multiple signs
of recurring patch work, wa-
terline mains are old cast iron
and nearly inaccessible and the
stained wall-to-wall rugs cant be
replaced without raising asbes-
tos concerns.
Its just met its life expec-
tancy, District Maintenance Di-
rector Jim Serino said during a
recent tour of the Ben Franklin
Kindergarten Center
The school board is mulling
the option of spending several
million on renovations or simply
closing the school and moving
about 250 students to the dis-
tricts Primary Center, setting off
a domino effect that would bump
a grade at the Primary Center to
the Intermediate Center and a
grade there to the middle school.
Superintendent Michael Garzel-
la said the middle school could
easily absorb the inux. A meet-
ing seeking public comment on
the idea is set for Wednesday. In
anticipation of that, The Times
Leader asked for a closer look at
the Kindergarten Center.
The cornerstone to the origi-
nal structure is dated 1960, be-
fore Pittston Area was formed by
merging other nearby districts. A
wing was added in 1991 that in-
cluded a library, a nurses ofce,
a kitchen and a combination caf-
eteria/auditorium/gymnasium.
Along with that addition, Serino
said, new roong was installed
throughout and air conditioning
was added.
Despite the age, the build-
ing is as structurally sound as it
looks, Serino said. The problem
lies with all the aging systems,
and a roof that has to be patched
year after year. During the tour, a
quick glance at the roof near the
playground area showed shingles
were missing and more patch-
ing would be required soon.
The original oil furnace is in-
efcient by todays standards.
We spent $34,000 last year in
heating oil, Serino said.
Lights are similarly inef-
cient, costing $21,000 last year.
Electric service likewise is out-
dated and would need upgrad-
ing, with new electrical panels.
Wall-to-wall carpeting in
most rooms looks serviceable
but worn, and the problem with
replacing them is that the tiles
underneath contain encapsu-
lated asbestos, Serino said. They
pose no threat as long as they are
intact, but as the district learned
in replacing carpeting in two
rooms, pull the rug up and the
tiles come with it, creating a po-
tential hazard and requiring the
cost of asbestos abatement.
Serino said that if the district
does launch such extensive
renovations, it will be required
to bring the building up to
code, particularly regarding the
Americans with Disabilities Act,
installing more handicap-access
facilities and upgrading electri-
cal and water systems, adding to
the cost.
There is no complete estimate
of renovation costs, but Garzella
and Serino said it would easily
exceed $2 million.
Closing the school and bump-
ing grades through the three
other schools would not only
spare that expense, the district
would reap annual savings by
not heating and maintaining
one building, There would be
no substantial savings through
staff reductions, Garzella added,
because the primary and kinder-
garten centers share a principal
and guidance counselor now,
and each school would still need
all the teachers currently work-
ing to cover all the classes.
The move would have other
advantages, Serino said. The
Kindergarten Center lacks ade-
quate parking, and the combina-
tion gym/cafeteria causes prob-
lems every day because lunch
ends at 1:05 p.m and gym class
starts 10 minutes later.
Asked how the middle school
came to have enough room to
take on another 250 students,
Garzella, who became superin-
tendent last year, conceded, I
dont know.
State records show enrollment
at the middle school varied little
from 1997-98, when it held 765
students, to 2011-12, the latest
state data available, when there
were 729 students.
The enrollment decline may
stem back much further, though.
Garzella said that he can re-
member the district high school
awarding diplomas to about 400
students when he graduated in
the mid 1970s, while today Its
around 250-275.
Pittston Area school closing could affect others
Closure of Kindergarten
Center would ripple through
three buildings.

Students dealt lesson on drug enforcement
SUGARLOAF TWP. Philadel-
phia police ofcer Luis Melendez
admitted, When I rst started
working undercover, I was scared.
Melendez on Thursday de-
scribed his rst controlled drug
buy paying a corner drug dealer
$20 for some crack cocaine. When
he returned, his superior asked
what the suspect looked like.
I was so afraid, I was like, I
dont know. Do I have to go back?
Melendez said with a laugh. Doz-
ens of Penn State Hazleton stu-
dents in the classroom laughed
along with him.
Melendez and two other mem-
bers of Philadelphias Dangerous
Drug Offenders Unit along with
Assistant District Attorney Kalli
Badolato, who works closely with
them, were guests of state Superi-
or Court President Judge Correale
Stevens, who teaches a criminal
justice class at the university. Ste-
vens recently worked with the unit
on wiretap investigations.
In discussions with my stu-
dents here, there is a tremendous
interest in how the narcotics units
work, said Stevens, so I went
over wiretap law with them. And
I happened to mention to the unit
that I had a class and I said, If you
guys ever want to come up and
they jumped at the chance.
Badolato moderated the presen-
tation and question-and-answer
session that followed.
Detective John Volz spoke about
using suspects cellphones in inves-
tigations his specialty.
Detective Christopher Tankele-
wicz, director of the Technical
Services Unit, described setting
up wire taps, body wires and GPS
tracking units hidden in and on
suspected drug dealers vehicles.
All of themspoke in detail about
their drug investigations, tech-
niques and equipment, showing
photos on a movie screen. They
also showed surveillance video in-
side a marijuana grow house and
of a controlled drug buy.
Video is a great tool because I
dont have to say anything, Me-
lendez said. I just have to play
the video and the jury is going to
watch the guy giving me drugs.
Catherine Nunez, a 19-year-old
political science major from Butler
Township, is interested in interna-
tional law, but she found aspects of
criminal law that Badolato talked
about really interesting. The
presentation made her a little
more interested in the criminal law
eld.

WILKES-BARRE The federal se-
quester will cut $400,000 in funding
from Luzerne County Head Start next
year, resulting in 49 fewer children in
the program that already has a waiting
list of more than 700 kids.
U.S. Rep. Matt Cartwright, D-Moosic,
and state Rep. Phyllis Mundy, D-Kings-
ton, visited the Beekman Street facility
Thursday, and after reading stories to
two classes, they talked about the fund-
ing cuts and the adverse effects on the
pre-school program.
Lynn Biga, executive director at Head
Start, said the cuts are devastating.
Nobody is happy about it, she said.
Especially Harry Heck, a 66-year-old
grandfather from Wilkes-Barre who has
had nine grandchildren go through the
Head Start program four are cur-
rently enrolled. Heck has custody of
four of his grandchildren and he was
named Volunteer of the Year by the
organization.
I put all my effort into helping these
kids all of these kids, Heck said.
These budget cuts will hurt our kids.
Cartwright and Mundy read to two
classes of children ages 3 to 5. There
were about 50 children in the two class-
es.
Those two classes represent the
amount of children who wont be here
next year, Biga said. The Head Start
serves more than 1,000 children.
Mundy, long an advocate for educa-
tion and early intervention programs,
said the cuts will do irreparable harm.
Of all places to cut, she said, this is
an absolute waste of human potential.
The long-term effects of these cuts will
be terrible.
Cartwright said Head Start will be
cut $400 million nationwide; $20 mil-
lion in Pennsylvania. He said its a clas-
sic example of the sequesters indis-
criminate reductions.
The bomb went off, Cartwright
said, noting the sequester went into
effect because Democrats and Republi-
cans couldnt agree on where to cut the
federal budget. Youre literally throw-
ing the baby out with the bath water.
Youre cutting good with bad. And let
me continue mixing my metaphors.

Verizon: Start 10-digit dialing
Verizon on Wednesday advised that
callers in the 570 area code, which
includes Luzerne County and sur-
rounding areas, should start dialing 10
digits (area code and the seven-digit
telephone number) to complete local
phone calls.
The new way of dialing is necessary
to prepare customers for mandatory
10-digit dialing, starting in September.
The change paves the way for the Octo-
ber introduction of Northeastern Penn-
sylvanias newest area code 272.
Called an overlay, the new code will
serve the same area as the current 570
area code.
During the six-month permissive
dialing period, affected customers can
dial either seven or 10 digits to com-
plete calls. Starting Sept. 21, 10-digit
dialing will be required for all calls in
the 570 area code. If callers forget to
dial 10 digits, they will hear a message
instructing them to dial both the area
code and seven-digit telephone num-
ber.
Customers will need to reprogram
any automatic dialing equipment or
services that are programmed to dial
a seven-digit number. Call 1-800-VE-
RIZON with questions or learn more at

Scarantinos request for roughly $1.5
million in pension benets based on
his conviction on a federal corruption
charge.
In a 19-page opinion led Thursday
the court rejected Scarantinos argu-
ments that the federal charge to which
he pleaded guilty was not substantial-
ly similar to state crimes that trigger
the pension forfeiture law.
Scarantino pleaded guilty in May
2009 to corrupt receipt of a reward
for ofcial action for accepting $5,000
froma contractor whomhe had helped
obtain a contract with the school dis-
trict. He was later sentenced to 13
months in prison.
The board of directors of the Penn-
sylvania State Employees Retirement
System ruled in July 2009 that the
crime precluded Scarantino from re-
ceiving the $115,415-per-year pension
he had accrued during his 42 years as
an educator.
Under state pension law, a person
convicted of certain state crimes relat-
ed to his or her position is not entitled
to receive a pension. The law applies
to federal offenses substantially simi-
lar to the delineated state crimes.
In Scarantinos case, PSERS deter-
mined the federal charge of corrupt
receipt of a reward for ofcial action
was substantially similar to the Penn-
sylvania state crime of bribery, which
is one of the offenses that triggers pen-
sion forfeiture.
Scarantinos attorney, Elliot Strokoff
of Harrisburg, argued Scarantino had
only intended to be rewarded for his
actions, and did not intend to be inu-
enced by the acceptance of the money.
That was a sufcient difference in the
crimes that should
not warrant forfei-
ture of the pension.
In rejecting that
argument, the Court
acknowledged there
are subtle differences
between the state
and federal statutes,
but found that the
criminal intent underlying each of-
fense was substantially similar.
It is immaterial whether petitioner
intended to be rewarded rather than
being inuenced, the court said. By
accepting $5,000 petitioner clearly ex-

HAZLETON Gov. Tom
Corbett leaves this weekend
for South America, where he
will lead a del-
egation of state
business, tour-
ism and uni-
versity leaders
on a business
devel opment
mission that
will focus on
creating new
economic op-
portunities for job growth.
The head of global develop-
ment for a Hazleton business
will be among those accompa-
nying him.
Tom Clark, of DBi Services,
represents one of 19 businesses
statewide that has paid a fee
to make the trek. The $5,000
cost does does not include the
commercial airline trip, food or
lodging, Kelli Roberts, a spokes-
woman for the governor, said. It
pays for scheduling, receptions
and for arranging meetings with
potential companies in Brazil
and Chile with which Pennsyl-
vania businesses might be able
to form relationships.
Companies joining the mis-
sion will receive personalized
market intelligence and in-
dustry information, a custom-
ized schedule of pre-arranged,
one-on-one appointments with
business partners, in-country lo-
gistics assistance and consulta-
tions with trade experts before,
during and after the mission to
assist with all aspects of its busi-
ness development strategy, the
governors ofce said.
The three-city, two-country
mission, privately funded by
Team Pennsylvania Founda-
tion, is scheduled for Satur-
day through April 16 and will
include stops in the Brazilian
cities of So Paulo and Rio de
Janeiro, along with Santiago,
Chile. Pennsylvania rst lady

Recycling battle brewing between W-B colleges
WILKES-BARRE Stu-
dents fromWilkes University
and Kings College will kick
off a three-week recycling
competition tonight, though
the planet will be the ulti-
mate winner.
Environmental club stu-
dents from both city schools
got together and decided
to raise awareness for recy-
cling, agreeing that a friend-
ly contest between the cam-
puses would be a good way
to do just that. The schools
have set up recycling bar-
rels which were donated
by Scranton Cooperage
throughout their campuses
for faculty, staff and students
to deposit white ofce paper
only.
The paper will be col-
lected until Earth Day, April
22, and the winner will be
announced at an April 26
Earth Week event at Kings
College.
The amount of paper will
be measured weekly. Prog-
ress will be charted on a dis-
play in the student centers
at each school. The competi-
tion has been organized by
environmental engineering
and Earth science majors at
Wilkes and by members of
the Environmental Aware-
ness and Outdoor Club at
Kings.
Steven Adames, 23, a
senior environmental engi-
neering student at Wilkes,
said he believes too many
people college students
included do not recycle.
I think awareness needs
to be higher, said Adames,

hibited a lack of honesty and in-
tegrity that the public expects of
its ofcials and is necessary for
the effective function of govern-
ment.
Strokoff also argued the for-
feiture of Scarantinos pension
amounted to cruel and un-
usual punishment based on the
amount of money he was los-
ing. The Commonwealth Court
opinion notes the total loss was
estimated to be $1.5 million.
The opinion does not detail how
that amount was determined,
but it appears to be based on an
estimated lifetime benet.
Strokoff maintained the loss
amounted to an excessive ne
for criminal conduct, which
would qualify as cruel and un-
usual punishment. The court
rejected that argument, noting
the pension law was not a pen-
alty for his crime, but the result
of his violation of a contractual
relationship with PSERS.
Strokoff could not immedi-
ately be reached for comment
Thursday regarding whether he
will seek to appeal the ruling to
the state Supreme Court.
Youre replacing the scalpel with
a meat cleaver and the result
is doing a lot more harm than
good.
Biga said that in addition to
the loss of 49 participants, Head
Start will have to lay off four em-
ployees.
Mundy said government
should be investing more, not
less, in education and programs
like Head Start.
If children start behind, they
will never catch up, Mundy
said. We need every child to
have every opportunity to be-
come a productive member of

mately increase those on wel-

ceptions he will attend.
For Corbett, Roberts said, the
trip is a chance to have one-on-
one meetings with companies
that have a presence in the state
and companies that are con-
sidering investing in the state.
Corbett also will participate in
events to promote tourism and
will host alumni of Pennsylvania
colleges and universities who
now live in Brazil and Chile.
In addition to the 19 business-
es, nine economic development
and tourism groups and cham-
bers of commerce will be a part
of the delegation. None is from
Northeastern Pennsylvania.
I am leading this delega-
tion to Brazil and Chile to open
new doors for economic growth
and job creation and to keep
Pennsylvania at the forefront of
international business develop-
ment, Corbett said in a release.

WILKES-BARRE The
sentencing of a man convicted
in two sexual assault cases
scheduled for Thursday was
continued after his lawyer
said he still needs to obtain an

violent predator hearing.
Robert Caravella, 53, of
Gould Street, Plymouth, was
scheduled to be sentenced in
two cases in which prosecutors
say he sexually abused and
neglected a young boy in one
case and sexually assaulted two
girls in another.
Attorney Andrew Katsock
said he is having trouble nd-
ing an expert to testify on his
clients behalf because most
of them already work with the
state Sexual Offenders As-
sessment Board. That board
already had a member evaluate
Caravella on behalf of prosecu-
tors and therefore anyone else
working for the board would
have a conict of interest.

an charged with 48 counts of
cruelty to animals in a case in
which prosecutors say she had
60 cats inside her Swoyersville
home in July 2011 has violated
the terms of her probation by
possessing nearly a dozen cats.
Aileen Kulpon, 50, was origi-
nally sentenced in November to

was charged after investiga-
tors went to her house on July
18, 2011, and conscated the
cats because of the deplorable
conditions found there.
She was resentened to ve
years probation in February
after an initial probation viola-
tion in which probation ofcers
said she failed to appear for
scheduled appointments with
probation ofcers in Lackawa-

resides in Carbondale.
The new probation violation,
ofcers said, occurred when
Kulpon violated a term of her

CHICAGO Roger Ebert, the most famous
and most popular lm reviewer of his time who
became the rst journalist to win a Pulitzer
Prize for movie criticism and, on his long-
running TV program, wielded the nations most
inuential thumb, died Thursday. He was 70.
Ebert, who had been a lm critic for the Chi-
cago Sun-Times since 1967, died early Thursday
afternoon at the Rehabilitation Institute of
Chicago, his ofce said. He had announced on
his blog Wednesday that he was undergoing
radiation treatment after a recurrence of cancer.
He had no grand theories or special agendas,
but millions recognized the chatty, heavy-set
man with wavy hair and horn-rimmed glasses.
Above all, they followed the thumb point-
ing up or down. It was the main logo of the
televised shows Ebert co-hosted, rst with the
late Gene Siskel of the rival Chicago Tribune
and after Siskels death in 1999 with his
Sun-Times colleague Richard Roeper. Although
criticized as gimmicky and simplistic, a two
thumbs up accolade was sure to nd its way
into the advertising for the movie in question.
Despite his power with the movie-going pub-
lic, Ebert wrote in his 2011 autobiography Life
Itself, that he considered himself beneath
everything else a fan.
He was teased for years about his weight,
but the jokes stopped abruptly when Ebert lost
portions of his jaw and the ability to speak, eat
and drink after cancer surgeries in 2006. But
he overcame his health problems to resume
writing full-time and eventually even returned
to television. In addition to his work for the Sun-
Times, Ebert became a prolic user of social
media.
Ebert joined the Sun-Times
part time in 1966 while pursu-
ing graduate study at the
University of Chicago, and got
the reviewing job the following
year. His reviews were eventual-
ly syndicated to several
hundred other news-
papers, collected in
books and repeated
on innumerable
websites, which
would have made
him one of the
most inuen-
tial lm critics
in the nation
even without
his televi-
sion fame.
SEOUL, South Korea
After a series of escalating
threats, North Korea has
moved a missile with con-
siderable range to its east
coast, South Koreas defense
minister said Thursday. But
he emphasized the missile
was not capable of reaching
the United States and there
are no signs the North is pre-
paring for a full-scale conict.
North Korea has been rail-
ing against U.S.-South Korean
military exercises that began
in March and are to continue
until the end of this month.
The allies insist the exercises
in South Korea are routine,
but the North calls them re-
hearsals for an invasion and
says it needs nuclear weapons
to defend itself. The North
also has expressed anger over
tightened U.N. sanctions for
its February nuclear test.
Analysts say the ominous
warnings in recent weeks are
probably efforts to provoke
softer policies from South
Korea, to win diplomatic
talks with Washington and
solidify the image of young
North Korean leader Kim
Jong Un. Many of the threats
come in the middle of the
night in Asia daytime for
the U.S. audience.
The report of the move-
ment of the missile came
hours after North Koreas
military warned it has been
authorized to attack the
United States using small-
er, lighter and diversied
nuclear weapons. The ref-
erence to smaller weapons
could be a claim that North
Korea has improved its nu-
clear technology, or a bluff.
The North is not believed
to have mastered the technol-
ogy needed to miniaturize
nuclear bombs enough to
mount them on long-range
missiles. Nor has it demon-
strated that those missiles,
if it has them at all, are ac-
curate. It also could be years
before the country completes
the laborious process of cre-
ating enough weaponized
fuel to back up its nuclear
threats.
South Korean Defense
Minister Kim Kwan-jin said
he did not know the reasons
behind the Norths missile
movement, and that it could
be for testing or drills.

ing the rebels. Jordanian government

AKRON, OHIO
Craigslist killer sentenced
A self-styled street preacher was
sentenced to death Thursday in the
killings of three down-and-out men
lured by bogus job offers posted on
Craigslist.
The jury that convicted Richard
Beasley of murder recommended that
he face execution. The judge had the
option of reducing the sentence to life
in prison.
Beasley, 53, was convicted of team-
ing up with a teenager in 2011 to use
the promise of jobs on a southeast
Ohio farm to lure them into robberies.
Three men were killed, and a fourth
who was wounded testied at Beas-
leys trial.
The judge read the three death sen-
tences in a hushed courtroom crowded
with victims relatives, some of them
holding back tears.
Beasley skipped the chance to speak
to the judge before the sentencing on
the aggravated murder convictions. He
listened to the verdict with his head
on his chest, sitting in a wheelchair he
uses for back pain.

WASHINGTON President
Barack Obamas budget next
week will steer clear of major
cuts to Medicaid, including tens
of billions in reductions to the
health care plan for the poor that
the administration had proposed
only last year.
Big cuts in the federal-state
program wouldnt go over too
well at a time that Health and
Human Ser-
vices Secretary
Kathleen Sebe-
lius is wooing
nancially skit-
tish Republican
governors to ex-
pand Medicaid
coverage to mil-
lions who now
are uninsured. That expansion
in the states is critical to the suc-
cess of Obamas health overhaul,
which is rolling out this fall and
early next year.
The presidents budget is to be
released Wednesday.
Perhaps half the nearly 30 mil-
lion people gaining health insur-
ance under the law are to be cov-
ered through Medicaid. But the
Supreme Court last year gave
individual states the right to re-
ject the expansion. A principal
argument against the expansion
in state capitals is that Washing-
ton cannot be trusted to keep its
promise of generous funding for
new Medicaid recipients.
In recent weeks, senior White
House ofcials have gone out of
their way to reassure activists
that Medicaid will be protected
in the budget.
Since generous federal fund-
ing for the Medicaid expansion
is the key inducement for gov-
ernors to decide to expand their
programs, the administration
does not want to undermine that
inducement by cutting federal
Medicaid funding, said Ron Pol-
lack, executive director of Fami-
lies USA, an administration ally
helping to promote new cover-
age benets that take effect next
year under the law.
Pollack said he has received
personal assurances on Medicaid
from several senior White House
ofcials. The Supreme Court
decision last June was a game
changer for the way the admin-
istration views Medicaid budget-
ing, he said.
White House ofcials arent
commenting, but Obamas bud-
get would set up a clear contrast
with the Republican-led House.
The GOP budget would turn
Medicaid over to the states and
sharply reduce future spending
from currently projected levels.
Politically, administration
sees this as poor time to cut
program funding.

Lead standards revised, showing more U.S. kids at risk
NEW YORK More than
half a million U.S. children
are now believed to have
lead poisoning, roughly
twice the previous high esti-
mate, health ofcials report-
ed Thursday.
The increase is the result
of the government last year
lowering the threshold for
lead poisoning, so now more
children are considered at
risk.
Too much lead can harm
developing brains and can
mean a lower IQ. Lead poi-
soning used to be a much
larger concern in the United
States, but has declined
signicantly as lead was re-
moved from paint and gaso-
line and other sources.
The new number trans-
lates to about 1 in 38 young
children. That estimate sug-
gests a need for more testing
and preventive measures,
some experts said, but bud-
get cuts last year eliminated
federal grant funding for
such programs.
Those cuts represent an
abandonment of children,
said David Rosner, a Colum-
bia University public health
historian who writes books
about lead poisoning.
Weve been acting like the
problem was solved and this
was a thing of the past, he
added.
Lead can harm a childs
brain, kidneys and other
organs. High levels in the
blood can cause coma, con-
vulsions and death.
Lower levels can reduce
intelligence, impair hear-
ing and behavior and cause
other problems.
Often, children who get
lead poisoning live in old
homes that are dilapidated
or under renovation. They
pick up paint chips or dust
and put it in their mouth.
Children also have picked
up lead poisoning from soil
contaminated by old leaded
gasoline, from dust tracked
in from industrial worksites,
from tainted drinking water
and other sources.
Lead has been banned in
household paint since 1978
and was gone from gasoline
by the late 1980s.
After lowering the stan-
dard, the Centers for Dis-
ease Control and Prevention
went back and looked at old
blood tests from 1,653 chil-
dren under 6 to determine
how many would have lead
poisoning under the new
denition.
Under new threshold for
health, an estimated 1 in
38 children poisoned.

IF NURSING HOME PLACEMENT BECOMES
NECESSARY DONT PRESUME ALL IS LOST!
Even under current law, there ARE still ways to legally protect your home and
other hard-earned assets from being spent down on long term care when you, your
spouse or a loved one are either in or about to enter a nursing home.
Can you save your residence?
Can you transfer assets within the ve year look-back period?
How can annuities help?
Can more income be protected for the spouse at home?
STRAIGHTFORWARD ANSWERS TO COMPLEX QUESTIONS!
THE SOONER YOU ACT, THE MORE YOURE ABLE TO SAVE!

A thousand times we needed you
A thousand times we cried
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died
A heart of gold stopped beating
two twinkling eyes closed to rest
God broke our hearts to prove he
only took the best
Never a day goes by that youre
not in my heart and soul.
Rest In Peace Tyler

Doctors billing process
creates ill will with patient
I
would like to share what happened to
me on the morning of March 28, when I
visited my doctors ofce that I have been
going to for the last three years. I see this
doctor every six months because I am a
breast cancer survivor and a BRCA gene
carrier.
Heres what happened: I got to the ofce
and there were new papers to ll out. One
of the papers stated they needed to add a
credit card number to my le because they
have experienced people not paying their
bills that
Yes, I have insurance and I pay my co-
pays at time of service. I have never owed
this doctor a dime. Plus I dont know all
the people that have access to my le.
Also I have great credit. I dont fall into
the category of non-payer. So I felt a credit
card number was not needed. I was told if I
didnt put a credit card number on le the
doctor would no longer be able to see me.
What kind of doctor is this? Is this the new
health care?

Helping spirit in full bloom
throughout Daffodil Days
T
he daffodil is the rst ower of spring
and because of the American Cancer So-
ciety it has been symbol of hope for cancer
patients for the past 40 years.
On March 18-24, Luzerne and Lackawa-
nna counties saw spring bloom in the form
of the little yellow ower. Volunteers from
every area donated their time to wrap,
deliver and sell daffodils, helping to spread
hope and fundraise for lifesaving programs,
services and research.
In Luzerne and Lackawanna counties,
patient-service programs such as Road to
Recovery and Look GoodFeel Better are
allowing those affected by cancer a better
quality of life. The funds raised also allow
access to cancer information and services
around the clock through the American
Cancer Society at 1-800-227-2345 or at
cancer.org.
I would like to thank the organizing com-
mittees for their dedication to the mission
of the American Cancer Society.
Your efforts leading up to and during
American Cancer Society Daffodil Days
were truly amazing! To those who partici-
pated in Daffodil Days drivers, on-site
volunteers and packers thank you! Your
efforts will hopefully ensure a world where
one day no one will ever hear the words,
You have cancer.
Finally, I would like to thank all of those
who supported this years Daffodil Days
by purchasing owers. A special thanks
also goes to Dottie Henry and UGI for
their sponsorship, BlueCross of Northeast
PA volunteers for helping wrap the daf-
fodils and Viewmont Medical, NROC and
Lackawanna Ambulance for their years of
continued support!
Spring has arrived in the Luzerne and
Lackawanna counties because of you!

Trio looks for support
in run for school board
W
ith the Wyoming Area School Board
election quickly approaching, the
taxpayers of the district have the oppor-
tunity to elect rst-time candidates, with
no political afliations to any current or
former school board directors or other can-
didates. As candidates, we want the public
to know that this is their opportunity to
dene the future of the school district. Past
election results have been costly to all the
taxpayers. With a combined forty years of
leadership and strategic nancial business
planning, we bring new problem solving
processes and business management skills
for a better future, but we need the publics
help!
Why is it important to have new voices,
new perspectives and new candidates?
Former and current school board members
have failed to address the needs of the dis-
trict, paving the way for the nancial crisis
we face today. The board has consistently
overextended themselves, spending more
than they have received.
As we all know, this will not work in
your home, and it will not work for the
district. As taxpayers, homeowners and
parents with six young children in the dis-
trict, we understand the need for nancial
stability in our homes and in the work-
place. Make your vote count May 21 and
help create a new beginning!

Elephants backs no place
for young children to ride
I
heard the Shrine Circus was considering
giving elephant rides to children before
the show.
Elephants and other animals can easily
get startled or scared by noises, ashes,
and anything unusual and this can make
them take off and run, as has happened
in many cases of elephant rides for young
children. You are talking about a 4,000
pound to 8,0000 pound elephant taking off
with children on it.
I believe parents should be forerwarned
about such potential accidents where
children can get seriously hurt. These
accidents happen all the time with circus
animals.
March 7, 2009: At least 15 children and
one adult were injured when an elephant
who was being used to give rides at the
Murat Shrine circus in Indianapolis, Ind.,
became statled, stumbling and knocking
over the scaffolding stairway leading to
the elephant ride. People on the elephants
back and others who were standing on,
under, and around the scaffolding were
injured. Their injuries were treated at
the scene. The Shriners had leased the
elephant from exhiitor Will Davenport, dba
Maxzimus Tons of Fun.

Writer pines for the days
of respected journalism
W
hatever happened to the news media
with which we grew up? I remember
when I was in high school (way back in
the 60s), my family would listen to the
evening news with Walter Cronkite. He
was a very well-respected and credible
news anchor.
Never once did I think his reporting re-
ected his opinions or views on any given
subject. The facts were compiled and he
reported them. I can honestly say the only
time I saw signicant emotion was when
John Kennedy was assassinated. He slowly
removed his glasses, continued report-
ing the facts as they came in, yet tried to
compose himself. I do not know if he got
any sleep during those horrible days, but
I am sure it was not much. That was true
dedication to his craft.
Something happened the other day to
one of the most respected news journalists
of our time. It saddened, yet angered, me.
Bob Woodward (who was instrumental in
exposing Watergate) suggested President
Obama move the goal posts with regards
to sequestration. Someone from the White
House staff promptly told Bob Woodward
in an email that he would regret his state-
ment.
Since when are elected ofcials (includ-
ing the President of the United States) no
longer approachable? Another example
of this media infatuation with our presi-
dent was a recent 60 Minutes interview
with Steve Kroft. Kroft interviewed the
president and Hillary Clinton. I was able to
tolerate about ve minutes of the lovefest.
Does anyone remember some of Mike Wal-
laces interviews on 60 Minutes? Some
of the people he interviewed were kept on
their toes. That was investigative report-
ing and interesting TV! Where are these
people?
I noticed a very disturbing trend with
this administration. If the news media is
granted access to the president or are al-
lowed to attend a press conference, you can
be guaranteed he will not be challenged in
any way. He handpicks the individual and
is never given a challenging question.
It has been six months since the tragedy
at Benghazi and most of the questions go
unanswered. I recall the Watergate cover-
age very well. The media was relentless
and investigated every lead. Where are
they for the Benghazi probe?
Does anyone think about the bereaved
families of these people? We now know we
Americans were lied to and deceived by
this administration. Perhaps there is an-
other Deep Throat who will come forth.
I shall never give up hope.

OTHER OPI NI ON: WAL L ST. TAX
Trotting out
the T word
T
IME FOR a talk about
taxes. We know what
this means. It means
those of a certain polit-
ical stripe will reject the idea out
of hand, regardless of its merits
and regardless of the hand-in-
hand arguments we make for the
consideration of such a thing.
It means those of an opposing
political stripe will embrace the
idea with open arms and also be
stone deaf regarding the hand-in-
hand demands we make for the
consideration of such a thing.
On such is our political grid-
lock built. But were going to
make our case regardless.
There is a push to create
something called a Wall Street
speculation tax. It is a tiny thing,
3 cents per $100 traded on Wall
Street, that its backers claim will
raise $352 billion in a 10-year pe-
riod.
Among its backers is a group
called Democracy for America,
which champions progressive
causes and political candidates.
Therefore, you know from
whence this idea came.
The argument made for the
tax, at least from this group, has
punitive connotations. The tax
would ensure that bankers who
make billions through comput-
erized, speculative trading pay
a price for the risk they pose to
our economy.
The argument equates Wall
Street speculation with the gov-
ernments sequester cuts, some-
thing that does not compute.
Wall Street has its many spectac-
ular failings; the sequester is not
among them. That is a political
failing. Though because politics
and big money are inextricably
linked, there is at least some
tangential connection that can
be found.
This tax proposal is not a new
one, and it has generated some-
thing like grudging support from
unexpected sources.
Ian Salisbury, writing in the
Wall Street Journal in January
2010 about a similar tax pro-
posal suggested that, Estimates
suggest the proposed taxs bur-
den on mutual-fund investors,
while real, would be smaller
than other controversial fees in-
vestors have paid for years, to
Wall Street rather than the gov-
ernment.
An article by Charles Pope
in The Oregonian on Dec. 3,
2009, shortly after Democratic
Rep. Peter DeFazio of that state
oated the idea of such a tax,
included this quote from David
Hirschmann, a senior ofcial
with the U.S. Chamber of Com-
merce: We need our elected of-
cials to focus on policies that
will help the business commu-
nity create productivity and get
people back to work. This tax
will deter job creation, invest-
ment and retirement savings.
If the tax is purely punitive,
we cannot support it. If it is ac-
companied by expanded spend-
ing for spendings sake, we can-
not support it.
Conversely, if it is taken as a
rst step in a greater plan to look
serious at corporate taxation,
corporate subsidies, offshore
tax havens, a simplied tax code
and real spending reductions,
then it should be given a place at
the legislative table.
The arguments we presented
will be ignored, unfortunately.
There is no if-then in American
politics. The word tax immedi-
ately causes entrenchment, and
there are none willing to enter
no-mans land to see if there
might actually be something
worth talking about.

Mortgage deja vu
with Freddie Mac?
A
mong Freddie Macs
four largest mortgage
servicers that han-
dled about 20,000 com-
plaints over a 14-month period,
not one reported a single case of
fraud or regulatory violation, ac-
cording to a new audit.
Yep, everythings hunky-do-
ry, based on the supposed due
diligence by mortgage servicers
Bank of America Corp., Ci-
tiMortgage, Provident and Wells
Fargo & Co. Not that any of this
is unusual.
Based on the audit by the Fed-
eral Housing Finance Agencys
inspector general, 98 percent
of Freddie Macs mortgage ser-
vicers that collect payments and
deal with borrowers reported
no so-called escalated cases.
Were talking about a mortgage
giant, propped up by taxpayers,
that guarantees more than 10.6
million residential mortgages
worth an estimated $1.6 trillion.
Mortgage servicers, Fred-
die Mac and the FHFA have not
adequately fullled their respec-
tive responsibilities, according
to the audit reported by the Los
Angeles Times.
In effect, these so-called mort-
gage managers, supposedly
Freddie Macs ground troops in
dealing with borrowers, arent
complying with basic reporting
requirements, according to the
IG. And given this level of over-
sight, we return to a frighten-
ingly familiar question: Are to-
days mortgages worth the paper
on which theyre written?
Such lackadaisical regard is
more reason to break up mort-
gage monstrosity Freddie Mac
and its equally ugly sister, Fan-
nie Mae.

Summary: Rain will affect part of the East Coast with thunderstorms in South
Florida today. Clouds, rain and cooler air will continue to push inland over the
Northwest. Much of the rest of the nation will be dry.
a signicant conict of inter-
est that existed based on busi-
ness relationships Robert Rossi
had with the banks chairman,
Louis DeNaples, and DeNaples
brother, Dominick.
The allegations are contained
in an amended complaint Gray
led Thursday in Lackawanna
County Court that seeks to add
Rossi as a defendant in the law-
suit she originally led against
FNCB in April 2012.
That suit alleged FNCB
board members granted mil-
lions of dollars in questionable
loans to friends, including for-
mer Luzerne County Judge
Michael Conahan. Many of the
loans defaulted, causing the
bank to lose tens of millions
of dollars. That led its stock
to plummet, costing investors
millions of dollars.
FNCB, based in Dunmore,
has several locations in Lu-
zerne County, including Wil-
kes-Barre, Hanover Township
and Plains Township.
The amended complaint
lays part of the blame for the
losses on the Rossi rm, which
Solfanelli contends abdicated
its responsibility by failing to
uncover irregularities and by
knowingly or recklessly al-
lowing FNCB to falsify nan-
cial statements. A judge must
approve the ling of the amend-
ment. A hearing on that matter
is scheduled for Wednesday.
Rossi was not originally
named as a defendant in the
case because information re-
garding its alleged role in the
audits was only recently dis-
covered, Solfanelli said in an
interview Thursday. Solfanelli
declined to say how he dis-
covered the new information,
other than it was provided by
people with direct knowledge
of the situation.
The amended suit alleges
FNCB falsely reported its
books for 2009 and 2010 had
been audited by Demetrius &
Co. LLC of Wayne, N.J. Deme-
trius was nothing more than a
shill for Rossi a rm with
substantial and troubling con-
icts with FNCB board mem-
bers, the suit says.
The suit notes several busi-
nesses owned by Louis De-
Naples or his family members
have the same address as Rossi
& Co. Moreover, in 2004 Rob-
ert Rossi and Louis DeNaples
organized Mount Airy No. 1
LLC, the company that pur-
chased the Mount Airy Lodge
and turned it into the Mount
Airy Casino.
The suit claims ofcials with
FNCB were aware Rossi had
performed the audit and hid
information from sharehold-
ers and the Securities and Ex-
change Commission.
Due to RRCs longstanding
history with the board, the indi-
vidual defendants had a motive
to conceal RRCs critical role in
the wrongdoing as RRC would
never be considered an inde-
pendent auditor, as required
under SEC regulations, the
suit says.
Robert Rossi did not return
a phone message left as his of-
ce Thursday. John Demetrius,
president of Demetrius & Co.,
declined to comment on the al-
legations, as did Joseph Earyes,
a rst senior vice president for
FNCB.
Solfanelli said the new al-
legations are a signicant de-
velopment in the case, which
remains pending, because it
supports Grays position that
FNCB knowingly issued false
nancial statements.
SUIT
wife rst came up with the idea
for the lmhe said it was a story
that could very easily be told in
a town like Kingston.
He said there are many local
references in the movie, includ-
ing a Kingston High School and
references to Kirby Park and
WVIA.
I dont want to give them all
away, he said. But The Times
Leader gets a shout out by Na-
than Lane. I just thought it was
very important to give the story
a clear and authentic setting; it
adds to the lm, said Chariton.
The plot of the movie in-
volves Linda Sinclair (Julianne
Moore), a 40-year-old unmar-
ried high school English teach-
er in Kingston. Her simple life
changes when a former student
(Michael Angarano) returns
home after trying to make it as
a playwright in New York.
When the former student
threatens to stop writing, face
reality and go to law school, the
teacher decides to mount his
play as a Kingston High School
production, with a amboyant
drama teacher (Nathan Lane)
directing.
He said many people associ-
ated with the lm related to
the story that he called a com-
edy with a great big heart. His
mother and father, attorney Jer-
ry and Ruth Chariton of Wilkes-
Barre, have seen the movie and
said it makes you feel good.
Its a positive movie, Jerry
Chariton said. And it puts our
area in a good light.
Chariton said he and Stacy
wrote the screenplay several
years ago, but it took a tena-
cious lm producer to get it
into production.
Weve had many ups and
downs, he said.
His parents hope this lm
will jump start the couples ca-
reers. They didnt have any idea
what the movie was about or of
the local references until very
recently.
They kept it quiet, Ruth
Chariton said. We didnt even
know where the story took
place. We did offer to be extras,
but they turned us down. (The
Charitons have two other chil-
dren who also live in Los Ange-
les Deborah, vice president
of post production at SONY
Pictures Entertainment, and
David, a nancial analyst.
Daniel said having the local
references helped give the lm
authenticity.
Theres as much drama and
comedy in Kingston and Wil-
kes-Barre as anywhere, he said.
So why not show that in this
movie.
Keep your eyes and ears open
for those local references. See
if you catch the scenes in the
Kirby Park Coffee Shop, or in
Principal Slocums ofce.
Chariton said he and Stacy
are trying to get the lm to
show in local theaters.
Carol Nelson Dembert, a
friend of the Charitons who now
lives in Waverly, said having the
lmpremier at the Tribeca Film
Festival this month is a real
coup.
Few screenwriting teams ac-
complish this so early in their
careers, she said. The excel-
lent script, outstanding actors,
and recognizable locations are
all there. The trailer is enticing.
I cant wait to see it.
TEACHER
This is a profoundly emotional
day for everyone in this room,
the governor said. We have
come together in a way that few
places in the nation have dem-
onstrated the ability to do.
In the hours after the shooting
Dec. 14, as anxious family mem-
bers gathered inside a rehouse
and waited for news, Malloy told
them their loved ones were not
coming home.
Now, Connecticut joins states
including California, New York,
New Jersey and Massachusetts
in having the countrys stron-
gest gun control laws, said Brian
Malte, director of mobilization
for the Brady Campaign to Pre-
vent Gun Violence in Washing-
ton.
This would put Connecticut
right at the top or near the top
of the states with the strongest
gun laws, Malte said.
The legislation adds more
than 100 guns to the states as-
sault weapons ban and creates
what ofcials have called the
nations rst dangerous weapon
offender registry as well as eli-
gibility rules for buying ammu-
nition. Some parts of the bill
would take effect immediately
after Malloys signature, includ-
ing background checks for all
gun sales.
After a total of more than 13
hours of respectful and at times
somber debate, the House of
Representatives and the Senate
voted in favor of the 139-page
bill crafted by leaders from both
major parties in the Democratic-
controlled General Assembly.
Both were bipartisan votes.
I pray todays bill the most
far-reaching gun safety legisla-
tion in the country will pre-
vent other families from ever
experiencing the dreadful loss
that the 26 Sandy Hook families
have felt, said House Majority
Leader Joe Aresimowicz.
Colorado and New York also
passed new gun control re-
quirements in the wake of the
Newtown shooting, in which
a 20-year-old gunman used a
military-style semi-automatic
rie.
Compared with Connecti-
cuts legislation, which, for
example, bans the sale or pur-
chase of ammunition maga-
zines holding more than 10
rounds, New York restricted
magazines to seven bullets and
gave owners of higher-capacity
magazines a year to sell them
elsewhere. Colorado banned
ammunition magazines that
hold more than 15 rounds.

Hill Street led to the formation
of Building Bridges, an initia-
tive that focused on identifying
problems in the community
and nding solutions to violent
crime. The Rev. Shawn Walker
and the Rev. Michael Brewster
spearheaded the effort.
Walker, of the First Baptist
Church of Wilkes-Barre, said
family members expressed their
wishes to observe the anniversa-
ry of Winsteads death privately.
There will be no actual memo-
rial event for Tyler (on Friday),
he said.
At one point, there had been
plans to meet in the GAR High
School gymnasium and at the
First Baptist Church, but the
family encountered a schedul-
ing conict and opted not to re-
schedule, Walker said.
Meanwhile, the campaign that
arose as a way to build some-
thing positive from Winsteads
passing is moving forward after
a series of community meetings
last year and the recent estab-
lishment of a board of directors,
according to Walker.
Based on what we heard at
the town hall meetings, one of
the major call-outs from the
community was the need to
make connections with each
other, he said. Were going to
do that in the form of a big com-
munity day event at Kirby Park
on May 4.
The hope is that the event
will kick off the next step of
the Building Bridges campaign,
Walker said.
Tyler Winstead was a special,
special kid to many people,
Walker said. Thats evident by
the way he impacted his fellow
students lives and his familys
lives.
Were committed to moving
this forward because of him.
On April 5, 2012, Winstead
was shot once in the chest while
sitting on a bed in DeAbreus
bedroom, according to court
papers. Yusiff, now 14, allegedly
had removed the .22-caliber
revolver from a hollowed-out
book, and it inadvertently dis-
charged.
Yusiff and his mother alleg-
edly worked to make the acci-
dent look like a drive-by shoot-
ing, carrying Winsteads body
to the curb outside their home,
hiding the revolver and tell-
ing police about an unknown
shooter. A spent bullet, blood
spatter and bleach were found
inside DeAbreus home after
the execution of two search
warrants, according to court
records.
Court papers allege DeAbreu
hid the gun while Yusiff hid shell
casings in a pile of scrap metal
behind a home at 119 Hill St.
Yusiff rst appeared in court
on May 30. He was led out of
the Luzerne County Courthouse
in handcuffs and charged with
an undisclosed offense after a
closed-door hearing. State law
prohibits prosecutors from re-
leasing information on juvenile
suspects, said Luzerne County
District Attorney Stefanie Sala-
vantis.
Authorities have been tight-
lipped on his fate since those
hearings, but the maximumpen-
alty would have had him placed
in a juvenile center until the age
of 21.
DeAbreu surrendered in Au-
gust on charges of tampering
with evidence, giving false in-
formation to investigators and
corrupting a minor. She was ex-
pected to plead guilty to those
charges in November, but her at-
torneys instead requested time
to gather evidence in the case.
If convicted, DeAbreu faces
up to ve years in prison on the
corruption charge and two years
each on the evidence tampering
and false reports charges.
Claiming that news media
coverage of the event prevents
his client from a fair trial, De-
Abreus attorney, Thomas Mar-
silio, led paperwork in Feb-
ruary requesting a change of
location or impaneling a jury
from another county. A hearing
for a judge to consider that re-
quest is set for 9:15 a.m. April
12.
A trial is scheduled for May
6 with jury selection beginning
at 9:30 a.m., according to court
records.

A memorial to Tyler Winstead stands in the front yard of 121
Hill St., Wilkes-Barre, where he lived with his grandparents.
of most area baseball fans who
witnessed its opening Thurs-
day.
This is my rst time here, said
Richard Hahn of Daleville, who
was enticed by advertisements
for the parks opening to make his
rst trip to watch a Scranton/Wil-
kes-Barre Triple-A baseball game.
I like this. Everything is spotless.
I just hope they keep it that way.
To ensure fans an impressive
opening-night experience, An-
stett and crews kept at it through
crunch time, Seven days a week,
12 hours a day, nonstop, he said.
The Pittston resident and for-
mer Wyoming Valley Conference
baseball star at Bishop Hoban is
employed as a sheet metal worker
for Local 44 in Wilkes-Barre, and
said his team nished installing
metal around the stadium last Fri-
day just in time for Scranton/
Wilkes-Barres season opener.
The toughest part of this proj-
ect was getting done on time, get-
ting out here every day in below-
zero temperatures, Anstett said,
standing on the right eld con-
course where people were pass-
ing in crowds four-deep. My fam-
ily was put aside, my life was put
aside. We didnt even know what
day of the week it was. But it was
a fun project because we knew we
were all going to enjoy this area.
It turned out great.
It turned into something people
from Scranton/Wilkes-Barres
baseball past could barely recog-
nize.
Its state-of-the-art, unbeliev-
able, said Marc Bombard, one
of the most popular managers in
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre history
when he managed the Red Barons
in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
I got to go in the clubhouse, its
like a Taj Mahal unlike back in
the days.
Not everything was extraordi-
nary on opening day.
Fans complained about parking
delays as stadium lots lled up
nearly 30 minutes before the rst
pitch.
With the trafc, a lot of people
didnt get here on time, said Paul
Noone of Scranton. If I was com-
ing for the rst time, I wouldnt
come back because of the trafc
situation.
Not enough parking, one
woman snarled.
And in some cases, not enough
efciency at the concession
stands, according to some fans.
Forty minutes in line to get a
stale bun, scoffed Leo Wyshock
from Factoryville.
And some people who helped
reconstruct the stadium didnt get
what they expected, according to
Anstett. They promised us they
would give us tickets for today,
Anstett said. (Instead), I got a
jersey.
But most fans who packed the
stadium for the opening of the
renovated PNC Field got what
they came for. Its so different,
Wojciechowski said of the sta-
dium. Its great for the kids, its
great for the family. Its fun.

game as well then went on a four-
year playoff run, which included
two appearances in the Gover-
nors Cup championship and one
league title.
Its the rst game. Well make
some adjustments. Figure out
what we have from game one,
SWB manager Dave Miley said.
The Red Sox scored
ve times in the top of
the tenth getting home
runs from Jeremy Hazel-
baker and Justin Henry.
But Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre made the game in-
teresting after that. The
RailRiders loaded the
bases in the bottom of
the inning with no outs.
A run came home when
Gil Velazquez, who led
off with a single scored
on a wild pitch. At the
end though, Pawtucket
pitcher Anthony Carter
struck out the last three
batters to end the game.
I think the closer came in you

Coughlin opens
season with win
By JOHN ERZAR

PLAINS TWP. As smoothly as things
were going Thursday for Coughlins softball
team, coach Alice Lyons decided to issue a
warning during the fourth inning. Those
three runs were nice so far, but the situation
could have been nicer.
And with that, the Crusaders doubled
up their run production as they defeated
Pittston Area 6-1 in the Wyoming Valley Con-
ference Division 1 opener
for both teams.
At least six to that
point, Lyons said, refer-
ring to the number of run-
ners her team stranded in
the rst three innings. We
had bases loaded twice.
This game of softball,
three runs, ve runs, eight runs isnt always
enough. Its a crazy game. It can go back-and-
forth very easily.
Thats why I kept telling them we have to
get those one or two runs an inning.
Coughlin did just that, plating a run in
each of the nal three innings. The highlight
was clean-up hitter Marissa Ross crushing
a pitch over the left-center fence for a solo
homer in the sixth for a 6-0 lead.
And to prove the coachs point, Pittston
Area put on a rally attempt in the seventh.

HUGHESTOWN Finally thawed out
from a particularly frigid game on Wednes-
day, Coughlin players and coaches were hap-
py to take the eld in 40-degree weather on
Thursday.
Naturally, winning the
rst two games of the Wyo-
ming Valley Conference
schedule helps take the bite
out of the air.
This was nothing this
was warm for us, Crusad-
ers coach Moe Rodzinak
joked after his team nished off a 6-1 victory
against rival Pittston Area. Believe me.
Coughlin (2-0) had its opener at Hazleton
Area postponed until Wednesday, a game
that featured 20 total walks as the Crusaders
pulled out a 9-5 win.
Against the Patriots, however, Coughlins
pitching took control of the game.
Starter Josh Featherman and Dave Marrig-
gi combined to strike out nine while holding
the Patriots (0-1) to four hits in their WVC
opener.
Marriggi had started Wednesdays game
but pitched just one inning while struggling

MOOSIC - In the end, he couldnt do
much to ensure Scranton/Wilkes-Barres
rst game as the RailRiders ended in vic-
tory.
But Corban Joseph did achieve his own
measure of success.
Joseph provided the rst hit at the new
PNC Field on Thursday and became the
rst RailRider to cross the plate when he
singled and scored in the rst inning of
Scranton/Wilkes-Barres 8-4, extra-inning
loss to Pawtucket.
It was pretty exciting, Joseph said.
(But) you go out there and play to win.
We came here as a team.
But Joseph left opening day at Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barres revamped park with a
few individual honors.
Hitting second for the newly-named
RailRiders - who were known as the Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees six seasons, Jo-
seph lashed a single to right eld to launch
the remodeled stadiums rst hit and im-
mediately become the answer toi a trivia
question.
I guess thats something I can always
say, Joseph smiled.
He had a say in giving the RailRiders an
early upper hand, when Joseph scored the
teams - and stadiums - rst run on Melky

Emmert defends record during contentious brieng
ATLANTANCAAPresident
Mark Emmert spent 15 minutes
documenting the progress that
the organization has made under
his leadership, from making sure
students go to class to ghting
corruption.
Then he spent the next half-
hour defending his record dur-
ing an often-contentious news
conference Thursday that took a
bit of the glow off the Final Four.
A deant Emmert shrugged
off his critics, insisting that any-
one pushing for signicant re-
formis going to rub some people
the wrong way.
The fact of the matter is that
change is what
were about
in the NCAA
right now,
he said, and
were trying to
work our way
through some
very, very dif-
cult changes to make the whole
notion of intercollegiate athlet-
ics strong and viable going into
the second century of the NCAA
and of college sport.
On his way off the podium,
Emmert even took a parting shot
at a reporter who has called for
his dismissal.
I know youre disappointed,
the president said with a sly
grin, but Im still here.
The NCAA has come under
re for botching the investiga-
tion into a rogue booster at
Miami, and there have been
complaints about the way the
governing body handled other
cases, such as the harsh sanc-
tions leveled against Penn State
in the Jerry Sandusky child sex
abuse scandal.
Emmert has acknowledged
that investigators overstepped
their authority in their zeal to
collect information against Mi-
ami.
The Miami issue had some
enormous foul-ups in it, he said.
Weve addressed those issues.
Still, the organization faces
about a half-dozen legal chal-
lenges to the way it does busi-
ness, including a federal anti-
trust lawsuit led by Gov. Tom
Corbett of Pennsylvania. He be-
lieves the NCAA overstepped its
authority when it imposed sanc-
tions against Penn State over its
handling of the Sandusky case,
based largely on a scathing in-
ternal review led by former FBI
chief Louis Freeh.
If youre not getting sued to-
day, youre not doing anything,
Emmert said. I dont know
anybody that doesnt have litiga-
tion pending, so Im not going
to apologize for the fact that we
have a very litigious society and
theres plenty of reasons to le
suit against large organizations.
Emmert also was asked about
a report from USA Today Sports
that accused him of shirking re-
sponsibility for problems in pre-
vious jobs at Connecticut, LSU
and Montana State. The newspa-
per said Emmert had a pattern
of moving on to more lucrative
posts before the full extent of
problems at his previous posts
were known. He has served as
NCAA president since Novem-
ber 2010.
The fact of the matter is that
everywhere Ive been, Ive been
asked by boards or other bosses
to help drive change, he said.
Im very proud of the changes
that have been made at every
place Ive been along the way.
Theyre all institutions that have
wonderful traditions.
Emmert started his state-of-
the-NCAA news conference by
going into great detail about all
the changes that have occurred
on his watch, many of them
designed to toughen academic
standards while streamlining the
rule book to eliminate confusing
guidelines and put the focus on
more heinous offenses, such as
paying players or xing grades.
It is also the time of year
when we get to focus on what
were supposed to focus on in
this whole enterprise, and thats
the student-athletes, he said,
praising the city of Atlanta.

Simyan hit consecutive one-out
singles to load the bases. The
Patriots, though, managed to
push across a lone run on Julie
Liebacks elders choice.
Pittston Area struggle on de-
fense, making four errors.
We have ve freshmen start-
ing, Pittston Area coach Dave
DeLuca said. We have to have
them step up and make routine
plays instead of being nervous
out there. And we denitely have
to string together our hits more
instead of having them scattered
throughout.
Prior to the three-hit seventh,
Pittston Area had just a pair of
singles a grounder up the
middle by Simyan in the third
and a liner to left by Antoinette
Scialpi in the fourth. Just about
everything else went to either
Coughlin shortstop Liz Ells-
worth or third baseman Dany-
elle Schweit, who combined for
10 assists on putouts.
Coughlin junior pitcher Ju-
lie Suchocki showed she might
bring some stability to the cir-
cle, a position of some concern
entering the season. Suchocki
struck out just four, but retired
10 consecutive batters at one
point without the ball leaving
the ineld.
She actually taught herself
to pitch when she was 11 or 12
years old, Lyons said. This
year I have her working with
my old pitching coach. In the
past month, shes picked up mul-
tiple pitches. Sometimes in this
league, or in any softball game,
you dont need to be overpower-
ing as long as you knowwhere to
shoot that ball.

Bettencourt and Toma-

Thursday to earn the surprising

McIlroy.
They took advantage of
warmer and calmer afternoon
conditions and held a one-stroke
lead over a group of four players
including three-time major
winner Padraig Harrington at
4 under.
Harrington and Billy Horschel
shared the lead following the
morning tee times, battling
chilly and windy conditions.
They were joined by Bryce
Molder and Harris English at 4
under in the afternoon.
McIlroy, who entered the
tournament as a nal opportu-

Ilya Bryzgalov made 25 saves
for the surging Philadelphia
Flyers, who beat the Toronto
Maple Leafs 5-3 on Thursday
night for their fourth straight
victory.
Simon Gagne, Jakub Vo-
racek, Brayden Schenn and
Luke Schenn also scored for
Philadelphia (17-17-3), which
is trying to make a late run for
a playoff spot. Sean Couturier
added two assists.
Nikolai Kulemin, John-
Michael Liles and James van
Riemsdyk had goals for To-
ronto (20-13-4), which lost left
wing Joffrey Lupul in the rst
period to an upper-body injury
after he took a hard hit.
James Reimer made 26 saves
for the Maple Leafs, but took
his fth regulation loss of the
season one day after Toronto
management decided against
bringing in a veteran goalie at
the NHL trade deadline.
Lightning 5, Hurricanes 0
RALEIGH, N.C. Ben
Bishop earned a shutout in his
debut with Tampa Bay and the
Lightning routed the reeling
Carolina Hurricanes.
Bishop, acquired a day ear-
lier from Ottawa in exchange
for promising rookie Cory
Conacher, stopped a career-
high 45 shots.
Teddy Purcell, Tom Pyatt
and Keith Aulie scored during
the Lightnings three-goal
second period.
Martin St. Louis had a goal
and two assists, NHL points
leader Steven Stamkos had
two assists, and Benoit Pouliot
added a goal and an assist to

Bruins 1, Devils 0
BOSTON Jaromir Jagr

Bruins debut and Tuukka Rask

Acquired from Dallas at the

Jagr joined the Bruins for
the pregame skate Thursday
morning and quickly endeared
himself to the Boston fans.
Brad Marchands centering
pass went off Jagrs left skate
and past Martin Brodeur to
give the Bruins a 1-0 lead with
80 seconds gone in the second
period.
Fans, some wearing mullet
wigs, gave Jagr a standing ova-
tion when he took the ice for
his rst shift in the rst period
and chanted his name after the
goal.
Capitals 2, Islanders 1
WASHINGTON Mike
Green scored his fth goal in
four games, Braden Holtby
made 35 saves and then was
perfect in the shootout, and
the Washington Capitals long,
slow comeback toward a play-
off spot took another big step
with a shootout win over the
New York Islanders.
Holtby denied Frans Nielsen,
Brad Boyes and John Tavares
in the shootout for the Capi-
tals, who moved at least
temporarily into a tie on
points with the Winnipeg Jets
atop the Southeast Division,
pending the outcome of the
Jets game against Montreal.
Green scored on a wrister
from the right circle with 13
seconds remaining in the rst
period, and Alex Ovechkin was
the only player from either
team to nd the net in the
shootout.
The Islanders, who tied
the game on Kyle Okposos
one-timer with 4:59 to play
in regulation, leapfrogged the
Rangers and New Jersey Devils
to claim seventh place in the
Eastern Conference.
Canadiens 4, Jets 1
MONTREAL Michael
Ryder scored two goals and set
up another, and the Montreal
Canadiens downed Winnipeg
to hand the Jets their fth

NEW YORK Carlos
Boozer had 29 points and 18
rebounds, Nate Robinson made
the go-ahead basket with 22
seconds left, and the Chicago
Bulls overcame a 16-point de-
cit to beat the Brooklyn Nets
92-90 on Thursday night.
Jimmy Butler had 16 points
and 10 rebounds, Luol Deng
scored 18 points, and Robinson
nished with 12 as the Bulls
shook off the absences of ve
key players to keep Indiana
from clinching the Central Di-
vision title theyve won the last
two years.
Deron Williams had 30 points
and 10 assists for the Nets, who
had a disappointing return
home from an eight-game road
trip. Brook Lopez nished with
28 points, but he had a turnover
and two misses in the nal min-
ute, including a corner jumper
that went in and out that would
have forced overtime.
Chicago pulled back into a tie
for fth place with Atlanta and
climbed within 1 1/2 games of
the Nets for the No. 4 seed and
home-court advantage in the
rst round.
And the Bulls did it without
Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, Taj
Gibson, Richard Hamilton and
Marco Belinelli, all starters or
key members of their rotation.
Plus, they lost starting point
guard Kirk Hinrich to fouls
with 3:38 remaining.
But they made more clutch
plays down the stretch to pull
out a game they never led until
the nal period.

MOOSIC Thousands of
fans at PNC Field on Thursday
were given the red carpet treat-
ment for the inaugural game
of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
RailRiders.
As part of a night packed
with festivities, fans entered the
stadium on a red carpet as the
theme of the night
was a Hollywood
movie premier.
While fans were
given the royal
treatment, execu-
tives of the RailRid-
ers were dressed in
tuxedos greeting
those who entered
the stadium mak-
ing the night feel
even more like its a
special occasion.
In addition to the
red carpet, there
were cardboard
cutouts of famous
Hollywood actors all over the
newly-renovated $43 million
project.
Prior to entering the stadium,
a ribbon cutting ceremony was
held with team president and
general manager Rob Crain
proclaiming
Welcome to our new home.
Now, come on in.
ONE STAR-STUDDED CAST
While there were no big
time Hollywood actors like the
cardboard cutouts, there were
several big names on hand
throwing out ceremonial first
pitches prior to the game.
None were bigger than
Yankee Hall of Famer Reggie
Jackson, who ended the parade
of several pitchers. Jackson wore
a Yankees jacket and a maroon
RailRiders cap.
Jackson was preceded in first
pitches by former Penn State
quarterback and Scranton native
Matt McGloin and former Red
Barons manager Marc Bombard
among others. Name the team
winners and name the mascot
winners were also involved in
the ceremonies.
International League presi-
dent Randy Mobley and Minor
League Baseball president, Pat
OConner were also part of the
pregame festivities.
MASCOTS NAMED
The anticipation for the
naming of the mascots was over
fairly early in the
pregame festivi-
ties before the first
pitches were
thrown.
The porcupine
was named Quills,
while the super-
heros name was
given the moniker
Mr. Incredible.
A NIGHT OF
FIRSTS
The first hit in
RailRiders his-
tory went to second
baseman Corban
Joseph, who roped a single to
right field in the bottom of the
first. He was also credited for
scoring the first run later in the
frame coming home on a run-
scoring single by Melky Mesa,
who marked the first RBI.
The first home run at the
restructured park belongs to
Pawtuckets Brandon Snyder.
A GUARANTEE GONE
WRONG
Last week, Crain guaranteed
that the temperature would
reach 60 degrees for Thursdays
opener.
While the weather was much
nicer than several previous days,
the temperature did not get to
60, falling a few degrees shy.
Therefore fans who attended
the game will receive a free
ticket to any Sunday through
Thursday game the rest of the
season.
Be sure to keep your opening
day tickets to verify you were at
the game.

By DAVE ROSENGRANT
drosengrant@timesleader.com
could tell just trying to find the
zone a little bit after giving up
two hits, RailRiders second
baseman Corban Joseph said
after finishing 2-for-5. We were
in a good position to get some
runs going and it seemed like he
settled down and stayed within
himself and pitched to what hes
capable of.
Things got off to a great start
for the RailRiders by pushing
across two runs in the top of
the first inning. After Joseph,
the second batter of the game,
got the first hit in team history,
Melky Mesa drove him in three
batters later for a 1-0 lead. Zoilo
Almonte, who walked immedi-
ately after Joseph, scored on a
wild pitch later in the inning for
a 2-0 lead.
SWB had more opportuni-
ties as they sent eight batters
to the plate in the frame against
PawSox knuckleballer Steven
Wright. The knuckler was all
over the place as he walked three
in the inning. But he settled
down later in the inning.
I dont necessarily think we
lost steam (after the first inning)
I think the pitcher just figured
out what he was doing wrong,
Joseph added. The whole team
just went in there trying to put
quality at-bats together and we
just didnt get as many quality at-
bats back-to-back I think.
SWB lefty Vidal Nuno started
the game retiring the first nine
hitters and 11 of the first 12.
He ran into trouble in the fifth,
which is when Pawtucket took
a 3-2 lead. He allowed a two-run
shot to Brandon Snyder then
got two more outs before being
pulled.
The PawSox pushed another
run across in the stanza on a
single by Brock Holt off of Sam
Demel. Overall, Nuno only al-
lowed three hits in 4 2/3 innings
striking out six and didnt walk
anyone.
I thought Nuno pitched well.
He left the ball up to Snyder and
we found out a little bit about the
park too, Miley added. I know
its just the first night and the
wind was blowing a little bit, but
if youre going to pitch up youre
going to get hurt. Thats prob-
ably at any park and the couple
of balls we left up they made us
pay for them.
RAILRIDERS
Mesas single later in the first
inning.
But the advantage didnt last,
as a 2-0 lead Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre built in the opening in-
ning evaporated with Pawtuck-
ets three-run fifth inning and
eventually turned into an 8-4
loss for the RailRiders.
The outcome is all that mat-
ters, Joseph said.
He came to Scranton/Wil-
kes-Barres Triple-A team last
season, playing 86 games for
the former little Yankees - who
spent the entire 2012 season
on the road. As they played in
home ballparks at six differ-
ent venues while PNC Field was
being rebuilt, Joseph wondered
what it would be like when the
team finally arrived in Moosic
as the RailRiders.
You hear a lot of things, Jo-
seph said. It was actually my
first time to play here. You hear
all these updates (about the sta-
dium), youd go on-line to look
at the stadium being built.
They did a great job.
And despite Thursdays out-
come, Joseph expects the Rail-
Riders to put up a similar perfor-
mance on the field this season.
I think we have a great team,
said Joseph, who finished 2-for-5
at the plate. Weve got a lot of
great players on this team who
bring a lot to the plate.
But in the history of the
RailRiders and the new PNC
Field, itll always be Joseph who
stepped up first.
The RailRiders became the third
team in franchise history to lose
their opener. The Scranton/Wil-
kes-Barre Red Barons and Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees also
dropped their first games. The
RailRiders fell 8-4 to Pawtucket.
Turning point: The PawSox
scored five runs in the top of the
tenth inning highlighted by home
runs from Jeremy Hazelbaker and
Justin Henry.
Play of the Game: Henrys two-
run shot in the tenth to give the
PawSox breathing room.
Player of the Game: Henry, who
was 2-for-5 with a two-run home
run and two runs scored.
Stat of the Game: RailRiders re-
liever Mark Montgomery needed
just six pitches five for strikes
to get three outs in the top of the
seventh, including a three-pitch
strikeout.
Time of Game: 3:33
Attendance: 8,443
No Party like a Scranton
Party: On Saturday, May 4 the
RailRiders will be on the road at
Gwinnett, but PNC Field will host
a party. Announced after the
seventh inning was that cast from
the television show The Office will

New year brings return to an old format
By DEREK LEVARSE
dlevarse@timesleader.com
Wyoming Valley Conference
baseball opened Tuesday with a
return to three separate divi-
sions.
Sort of.
After five seasons of Division
1 being split geographically
by the Susquehanna River, the
league is going back to a three-
division alignment based on
competition.
But for most of the WVCs 18
teams, it wont mean a radically
different schedule.
Division 1 (six teams) and
Division 2 (five teams) will play
crossover games. Division 3
(seven team) will play its entire
league schedule against itself.
That is the same format used
under the old Division 1 East/
West and Division 2 structure.
The two teams most affected
are Lake-Lehman and Nanti-
coke. The Black Knights move
up into Division 2 while the
Trojans take their spot in what
is now Division 3.
Berwick and Wyoming Valley
West join Coughlin, Crestwood,
Hazleton Area and Pittston Area
in the new Division 1.
Lehman and Holy Redeemer
join Dallas, Tunkhannock and
Wyoming Area in Division 2.
Nanticoke will play with GAR,
Hanover Area, Meyers, MMI
Prep, Northwest and Wyoming
Seminary in Division 3.
Already the weather has
interrupted the opening salvo
of games, with bitterly cold
winds and some frozen fields
the culprit.
Berwick has already made a
strong statement, opening the
WVC campaign with a 13-1 win
at Wyoming Valley West on
Tuesday.
There are definitely some
high expectations, Berwick
coach Brian Pinterich said after
the victory. This was a good
start.

TEAM-BY-TEAM CAPSULES
DIVISION 1
BERWICk
2012 WVC Record/Finish: 10-4, second place
Div. 1 West; Lost in district championship
State classifcation: 3A
Coach: Brian Pinterich
Home feld: North Berwick Field, Heights Road,
Berwick
Outlook: Theres a lot to like about this Bulldogs
squad, most notably that it returns eight players
who appeared in last seasons District 2 Class
3A title game. Berwick lost that game to a power-
house North Pocono team but picked up plenty of
good experience along the way. There are some
parallels here to Berwicks 2007 and 2008 teams.
An up-and-coming group of Dawgs was knocked
out of districts early in 2007 by Pittston Area, the
eventual champ. A year later, a senior-laden team
went all the way, becoming the frst (and still only)
WVC school to win a state baseball champion-
ship. That milestone achievement under Pinterich
gave a huge boost to the program, and the fruits
of it are being seen now. T.J. Lashock, Anthony
Melito, Kyle Miller, Will Morales and Eric May all
appeared in every game during last seasons run
and Jordan Stout missed just one regular season
contest. With Miller and Clay DeNoia both back on
the mound, Berwick looks like a postseason threat
from any seed.
COUgHLIN
2012 WVC Record/Finish: 8-7, third place Div.
1 East; Lost in district semifnals
Coach: Moe Rodzinak
Home feld: Hilldale Park, North Main Street,
Plains Twp.
Outlook: The Crusaders have to feel good
about their returning 1-2 punch on the mound.
Josh Featherman and Dave Marriggi combined
for 88 strikeouts in 72 innings during the 2012
regular season, with Featherman starting off that
campaign in style with a no-hitter. If those two can
build on that, Coughlin will continue to be a tough
matchup for any WVC squad. At the plate, the
Crusaders must replace six lineup regulars, includ-
ing all-star leading hitter Joe Parsnik, an excellent
all-around athlete. Kyle Lupas had a breakout
year as a sophomore hitting .400 while leading
the team in RBI and will look to continue that
production as a junior. Coughlins pitching is strong
enough to give the team some time to develop as
the hitting and felding rounds into form.
CRESTWOOD
2012 WVC Record/Finish: 4-11, sixth place
Div. 1 East; Lost in district opener
Coach: Mark Modrovsky
Home feld: Mountain Post Legion, Church
Road, Mountain Top
Outlook: In 2009, the Comets fell just one game
short of a district title, falling in the championship
game. That was the frst of four narrow postseason
losses for them, and they are looking to get back
over the hump. For this season, Crestwood has
a group of 13 seniors to help make it happen.
Eight of those 13 Aaron Piavis, Eric Rinehimer,
Justin Rinehimer, Elliot Snyder, Drew Munisteri,
Tyler Sadvary, John Chupka and Matt Kaster
appeared in over half of the teams WVC games
last season. Of the returning players. Piavis led
the Comets in RBI and Kaster started fve games
on the mound. Last seasons top pitcher, Shane
Casey, must be replaced.
HAzLETON AREA
2012 WVC Record/Finish: 9-6, frst place Div. 1
East; Lost in D2-4 semifnals
Coach: Gino Cara
Home feld: Antinozzi Field, East 22nd Street,
Hazleton
Outlook: Led by a strong senior class, the
Cougars were as resilient as anyone last season,
somehow coming out of a tangle of teams to win
a division title. Replacing both the production and
leadership of players such as Carl Cara, Matt Bar-
letta and Tyler Rubasky will be diffcult. The same
goes for the pitching staff, which must move on
after the graduation of top starters Anthony Zaloga
and Erik Johnson. The third starter, Anthony Her-
nandez, is back for a senior season. At the plate,
he is joined by fellow veterans Sal Biasi and Kyle
Klein, who were regulars in the lineup in 2012.
PITTSTON AREA
Div. 1 East; Lost in district quarterfnals
Coach: Paul Zaffuto
Home feld: Primary Center, Rock Street,
Hughestown
Outlook: Every season carries high expecta-
tions for the Patriots and 2013 is no exception.
Five lineup regulars are back from last years
squad that fell just short of a division title on the
fnal day of the regular season. And three of those
returning starters Josh Razvillas, Michael
Schwab and Patrick McGinty are still juniors.
The other two are seniors in Jordan Houseman
and John Kielbasa who just joined the team last
year and now have a year of experience under
their belts. Pittston Area will miss contributions
from departed seniors like Anthony Schwab, Tyler
Loftus, Brian Delaney, Evan Hahn and Chuck
Bressler. The Patriots started Bressler on the
mound in nine of 15 WVC games last season but
Michael Schwab is back after posting a 2.67 ERA
as the No. 2 starter.
WYOMINg VALLEY WEST
2012 WVC Record/Finish: 13-1, frst place Div.
1 West; Won D2-4 championship; Lost in PIAA
quarterfnals
Coach: John Milius
Home feld: Spartan Stadium, Gates Avenue/
Pierce Street, Kingston
Outlook: Valley West is used to success under
Milius, earning another district title in 2012 and
winning a game in the state tournament. The Spar-
tans are also used to reloading after losing tal-
ented seniors, and this season is no different. The
bad news is that two excellent pitchers in Tommy
Alexander and Matt Zielen have graduated. The
good news is that all-stars like Mike Leonard and
Joe Pechulis are back. Add in everyday starters
Colin Harrison, Nick Hogan and Dan Flaherty from
last years PIAA quarterfnal squad, and theres
a productive senior core to lead the team. Ricky
Stayer and Evan McCue also appeared in all four
postseason games for the Spartans last year.
DIVISION 2
DALLAS
2012 WVC Record/Finish: 2-12, ffth place Div.
1 West; Lost in district opener
Home feld: Township Field, Church Street,
Dallas
Coach: Ken Kashatus
Outlook: Dallas is happy to welcome back
Brian Stepniak for his senior season. As a junior,
the 6-foot-5 right-hander struck out 52 while
walking just nine in 49 innings of the regular
season. Both he and last years No. 2 starter, Nigel
Stearns, return to give Dallas a solid foundation
on the mound. The Mountaineers will, however,
miss the other end of the battery in Paul Narcum,
who graduated after leading Division 1 with a .450
average a year ago. Though his production will be
tough to replace, the Mounts do return the middle
of their lineup from the end of last season in Stea-
rns, Stepniak, Greg Petorak and Domenic Oliveri.
HOLY REDEEMER
1 East; Won district championship; Lost in PIAA
quarterfnals
Coach: Chris Ritsick
Home feld: Hollenback Park, North Washing-
ton Street, Wilkes-Barre
Outlook: The third time was the charm for
the Royals, who pulled out a district crown for
a talented and deep group of seniors in 2012
after falling short the previous two seasons.
Now Redeemer must build on that foundation of
success that group set. Plenty of new faces will
be in the lineup this season with players such as
Christian Choman, Dominick Policare, Pat Condo,
Eric Ringsdorf, Joel Peterlin, Will Cavanaugh
the list goes on. Of the players returning from that
run to the state quarterfnals, outfelder Michael
Kosik was an everyday starter who stepped up
in the postseason, going 6-for-13 with three RBI.
Jim Strickland, Tommy Cosgrove, Eric Kerr and
Jeremy Worlinsky also return after appearing in
multiple WVC and postseason contests. Strickland
and Kerr are the only two returning players who
saw time on the mound during league play in
2012, making a handful of appearances out of
the bullpen.
LAkE-LEHMAN
Div. 2; Lost in district opener
Coach: Brian Gorski
Home feld: High school, Old Route 115,
Lehman Township
Outlook: Its technically a new coach and a new
division for the Black Knights. But the last time
Gorski was leading the prorgam, it was in an old
alignment (before the Catholic school merger) that
looks similar to this group. That was in 2007, and
the Knights capped off the year with a district title
and a trip to the state quarters. The 2013 Knights
must replace the numbers put up by veterans
such as Curt and Cole Barbacci, Tyler McGovern
and Troy Shurites. Lehman does, however, have
upperclassmen like Jeff Carter, Scott Bean, Pete
Borum, Cody Paraschak, Connor Balloun and
Josh Davenport to carry on a strong recent tradi-
tion. The Knights also got some varsity experience
last year for sophomore John Van Scoy, who
opens the 2013 season batting leadoff. The move
up in competition wont make things easy, but the
program has succeeded in this situation before.
TUNkHANNOCk
2012 WVC Record/Finish: 7-7, fourth place
Div. 1 West; Lost in district quarterfnals
Coach: Gary Custer
Home feld: High school, West Tioga Street,
Tunkhannock
Outlook: After a dominant two seasons that
saw them nearly come through with a state cham-
pionship, the Tigers fell back to the pack in 2012.
But the Tigers still have plenty of experience, in-
cluding seniors like Josh McClain and Jeremy Lee,
who both started in that 2011 state championship
game. Those two, naturally, open league play as
the heart of the Tigers order. Tunkhannock loses
four of its top hitters from a year ago in Rich Cond-
eelis, Wes Custer, Zach Saylor and Alex Zaner but
will return a handful of players who saw that PIAA
run from the dugout and played in the district tour-
nament themselves a year ago. McClain enters
the season after posting an impressive 1.46 ERA
on the mound in league play as a junior.
WYOMINgAREA
1 West; Lost in district quarterfnals
Coach: Chick Andrewscavage
Home feld: Atlas Field, Erie Street, West
Pittston
Outlook: Five starters from 2012 are back for
their senior season for the Warriors, including
leading hitters Bart Chupka and Jake Granteed.
Chupka was one of the WVCs top RBI producers
as a junior and he can help anchor a 2013 lineup
that returns all but one of its 2-through-7 hitters
from the end of last season. That includes Mike
Carey, Granteed, Trent Grove and Erik Walkowiak.
The only name gone from that stretch of the lineup
is a signifcant one, however, as long-time ace
Dylan Maloney has graduated along with another
talented arm in Adam Romanowski. Granteed is
the lone returning player who made a start on the
mound last season.
DIVISION 3
gAR
2012 WVC Record/Finish: 0-14, seventh place
Coach: Vito Pasone
Home feld: Coal Street Park, Coal Street,
Wilkes-Barre
Outlook: The rebuilding of the Grenadiers pro-
gram continues in Pasones second season at the
helm. On one hand, GAR lists just 13 players on
the roster. On the other, the team returns the core
of sophomores now juniors that had Pasone
optimistic for the future. That group includes Kevin
Evans, Joe ODay, Rich Sickler and Steven Tyson,
who were everyday starters in 2012. Evans and
Sickler handled the bulk of the pitching last season
as well. Senior Christian Skrepenak is also back
for a third straight season in the lineup. GAR does,
however, lose last seasons leading hitter in Mykel
Demspey.
HANOVER AREA
2012 WVC Record/Finish: 12-0, frst place Div.
2; Lost in district semifnals
Coach: Mike Zapotoski
Home feld: High school, Sans Souci Parkway,
Hanover Twp.
Outlook: The 2012 season wasnt over fve
minutes when Zapotoski preached to his play-
ers that 2013 could be a special year. And for
good reason. The Hawkeyes have nearly every
major contributor back from a group that went
undefeated in league play before bowing out to
eventual district champ Holy Redeemer. In that
fnal game, the Hawkeyes flled out a 1-9 lineup of
Zach Kollar, Christian Pack, Mike Sulcoski, Mickey
Ferrence, Nick Deno, Mike Blazaskie, Jack Windt,
Matt Kuhl and Matt Kocher. All nine are back, as
well as other contributors from 2012 such as Mike
Bugonowicz and John Wickiser. Ferrence was
stellar on the mound last season and topped .400
at the plate along with Kollar, Deno and Sulcoski.
MEYERS
2; Lost in district opener
Coach: Matt Skrepenak
Home feld: Gibby Field, Gordon Avenue,
Wilkes-Barre
Outlook: With Lake-Lehman moving up, the
Mohawks will be one of the main teams to chal-
lenge Hanover Area in Division 3. Dan Conrad,
Matt DeMarco, C.J. Szafran, Cal Lisman and Mike
Kendra were all fxtures for Meyers in 2012 and
are back for another season. The Mohawks will
have to move on without their top two pitchers
from last season in Corey Dubil and Tony Morrash
as well as John Zionce, Robert Reilly and Chris
DeMarco at the plate. With the shuffing of the divi-
sions, the Mohawks are also hoping for a little bet-
ter luck when the district tournament rolls around.
They always seem to draw Holy Redeemer in an
early round. When they got to hold off on meeting
the Royals the title game, the Mohawks won the
district championship in 2010.
MMI PREP
2012 WVC Record/Finish: 4-8, sixth place Div.
2; Lost in district quarterfnals
State classifcation: A
Coach: Emmett Thomas
Home feld: Cedar Street/Luzerne Street,
Freeland
Outlook: This will be an interesting year for the
Preppers, who return essentially their entire roster
from a year ago. That includes, naturally, seniors
Aaron Kollar and Casey McCoy, leading hitter
Charlie Karchner and top RBI man Sam Harman.
Harman and fellow starter Cory Rogers are still
sophomores. Kollar and Joe Yamulla were the top
pitchers a year ago with Kollar frst on the team in
innings, wins, strikeouts and ERA. MMI will have
a chance to take a notable step forward in the
development of the program this season.
NANTICOkE
Div. 1 East; Lost in district semifnals
Coach: Dean Myers
Home felds: High school, Kosciuszko Street,
Nanticoke; Ted Hiller Park, Honey Pot
Outlook: The Trojans owe a lot to a large senior
class who did plenty to boost the program last
season, pushing an underdog squad all the way
to the district semifnals before falling to Berwick.
Now Nanticoke looks to build on that persever-
ance. It wont be easy, as the top seven regulars in
the lineup have all graduated. Some returning con-
tributors back for a senior season include Shaun
Boyle, Morgan Higgs, Sebastian Maul and Nick
Valenti, who will comprise the meat of the Trojans
order in 2013. Boyle produced when called upon
last season, including driving in two key runs in a
postseason upset of Valley View. Higgs saw some
time on the mound last season, appearing in fve
games with one start in the regular season. The
move down to Division 3 should help with breaking
in a mostly new lineup.
NORTHWEST
Coach: Lou DiPasquale
Home feld: High school, Thorne Hill Road,
Shickshinny
Outlook: The Rangers took a step forward
last season, claiming a season sweep of Meyers
and nearly snapping Hanover Areas unbeaten
streak, losing by just a run to the division champs.
A challenge for 2013 will be replacing all-star
Skyler DiPasquale, who led the team in most
major categories at the plate while also starting
fve league games on the mound. Stepping up in
place of the WVCs leader in batting average and
RBI will be a group of veterans that includes Pete
Feno, Matt Korea, Devon Mazonkey and Kevin
Volkel, all of whom are seniors. DiPasquale and
Kyle Stempien handled much of the pitching last
year but Mazonkey had 10 strikeouts in two starts
to lead Northwests returning players.
WYOMINg SEMINARY
2; Lost in district semifnals
State classifcation: A
Coach: Brian Kaschak
Home feld: Church Street Park, Kingston
Outlook: With Nesbitt Field in the midst of a
signifcant facelift, the Blue Knights will have to re-
locate for the 2013 season. Aside from the change
of venue, Seminary will also have to replace some
valuable middle-of-the-lineup bats in Craig Skudal-
ski and Bobby Polachek. That pair also accounted
for all but a handful of innings on the mound from
last season. Four players who took the feld for last
years wild semifnal loss to district champ Lacka-
wanna Trail Zach Wise, Gavin Gagliardi, Asa
Saidman and Doug Thomas return for 2013.
Wise and Saidman both chipped in as pitchers last
year, mostly out of the bullpen.
SCHEDULE, PAGE 2B
Rivalry renewed: Mountaineers top Black Knights
The Times Leader staff with his command in the cold.
He threw two scoreless innings
of relief on Thursday to get
back on track.
Josh had a hell of a game.
Josh pitched great, Rodzinak
said. In this weather, you dont
want to go too long with him,
and we had Dave to come right
back. He needed a confidence
boost, and he got it.
For the second straight day,
the Crusaders put the ball in
play and took advantage of
their opponents mistakes. The
critical hit came with two outs
in the bottom of the third when
Eric Adamczyk (2-4, four RBI)
sent a 3-2 pitch just over the
fielders head in left for a three-
run double.
All three of those runs were
unearned. The Patriots com-
mitted six errors on the day,
and the mistakes werent lim-
ited to the field.
We tallied it up just now
we gave them 11 extra outs and
we popped up three bunts,
Patriots coach Paul Zaffuto
said after talking at length with
his players. So youre talking
about 14 outs that we gave to
them. Thats four innings worth
of baseball.
Basically what we did was
we spotted them four innings.
Even if we do have one or two
errors, its a 2-1 or 1-1 ball game
and we can squeak out a run
here or there. Now weve got to
make up four runs against a guy
like (Featherman), and then
Marriggi coming in right after
him. Your hands are tied.
Despite the miscues, Pittston
Area led 1-0 on a solo shot by
Josh Razvillas who smacked it
out to dead-center on a windy
day.
Coughlin scored two in the
second with the help of two er-
rors. Adamczyks bases-loaded
double broke the game open in
the third. Dave Parsnik added
an RBI single in the sixth.
Michael Bucky Schwab
took the loss on the mound,
though the lefty kept the Patri-
ots alive for much of the game.
If we make even 90 percent
of the plays behind him, its a
win, Zaffuto said. We told
them we had to apologize to
(Schwab) as a team and tomor-
row weve gotta come back and
work on the little things.

Philadelphia Phillies Ben Revere, right, dives to beat the tag
by Atlanta Braves rst baseman Freddie Freeman in the ninth
inning Thursday in Atlanta. Philadelphia won 2-0.
ATLANTA Cliff Lee al-
lowed two hits in eight score-
less innings and the Philadel-
phia Phillies scored twice in the
second inning to win their rst
game of the season, 2-0 over the
Atlanta Braves on Thursday.
Lee (1-0) didnt win his rst
game last year until July 4, but
the former Cy Young Award
winner outpitched Kris Medlen
(0-1) with temperatures in the
low 40s and a light mist falling
most of the game.
Philadelphia scored two runs
in the second on Ben Reveres
elders choice RBI and Chase
Utleys sacrice y RBI.
After Lee watched Cole
Hamels and Roy Halladay lose
the rst two games by a com-
bined 16-7 score, the left-hand-
er walked none and struck out
eight in 106 pitches to give the
Phillies renowned threesome a
big lift.
Lee left for pinch-hitter Fred-
dy Galvis in the ninth. Jonathan
Papelbon earned his rst save.
Cubs 3, Pirates 2
PITTSBURGH Travis
Wood allowed one hit over six
innings and the Chicago Cubs
held off the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Wood struck out four and
walked two as the Cubs won a
season-opening series for the
rst time in four years.
Padres 2, Mets 1
NEW YORK Jedd Gyorko
doubled in the go-ahead run in
the fourth inning for his rst
major league RBI, and the San
Diego Padres beat the New
York Mets for their rst win of
the season.
Nationals 6, Marlins 1
WASHINGTON Jordan
Zimmermann worked around
eight hits over six innings, Ryan
Zimmermans three hits includ-
ed a two-run double, and the

ed a season-opening three-game
sweep of the Miami Marlins.

IN BRIEF
Samsung sticks with Best Buy
Shares of Best Buy jumped on
Thursday after it announced plans to
create store-within-store kiosks for
Samsung products a vote of con-
dence from a major consumer electron-
ics retailer that the brick-and-mortar
format is still an important way to sell
products.
Best Buy shares rose more than 12
percent in midday trading.
The Minneapolis-based company
has battled the showrooming effect
as more and more people browse in
stores and then buy items cheaper on-
line. This has led to fears that the big-
box store format is growing obsolete.
But Best Buy has aggressively fought
back under new CEO turnaround
expert Hubert Joly introducing an
online price matching policy, giving
employees extra training and cutting
costs and revamping stores.
Jobless applications up
The number of Americans seeking
unemployment aid rose last week by
28,000, the third consecutive increase.
Weekly applications increased to a
seasonally adjusted 385,000, the Labor
Department said Thursday. Thats the
highest level since late November. The
gain pushed the four-week average, a
less volatile measure, to 354,250.
A Labor Department spokesman
says the gures might have been
affected by the Easter holiday. The
department says the holidays timing
varies from year to year, which makes
it difcult to adjust for school closings
and other seasonal factors that can
alter the data.
Applications are a proxy for layoffs.
They have declined steadily since
November, pushing the average to a
ve-year low three weeks ago.
The recent increases could be a sign
that companies are starting to cut jobs,
possibly because of steep government
spending cuts that began on March 1.
Thieves stealing Maine sap
Sticky-ngered thieves are stealing
sap right out of Maines maple trees.
Maine Forest Ranger Thomas Liba
says as far as he can tell, the culprits
are taking the sap home and boiling it
down to make syrup for personal use.
But theyre damaging valuable maple
trees and dissing landowners who
havent given them permission to be
on their property.
Liba says hes seen more sap theft re-
ports in recent years. Illegal taps were
even found in a city-owned cemetery
in Calais recently.

MENLO PARK, Calif. With its
newHome on Android gadgets, Face-
book aims to put its social network at
the center of peoples mobile experi-
ences.
If users choose to download Face-
books Home software starting on April
12, the social network will become the
hub of their Android smartphones. A
phone from HTC that comes pre-load-
ed with Home will also be available
starting that day, with AT&T Inc. as
the carrier.
The idea behind the software is to
bring Facebook content right to the
home screen, rather than requiring us-
ers to check apps. Home comes amid
rapid growth in the number of people
who access Facebook from phones and
tablet computers. Of its 1.06 billion
monthly users, 680 million log in to
Facebook using a mobile gadget.
The service is part of Facebooks
move to shift its users focus from
apps and tasks to people, said CEO
Mark Zuckerberg during Homes un-
veiling at the companys Menlo Park,
Calif., headquarters on Thursday.
The new product, which resides on
the home screen of Android phones, is
a family of apps designed to help peo-
ple share things with their Facebook
friends. Rather than seeing a set of
apps for email, maps and other services
when they rst turn on their phones,
users will be greeted with photos and
updates from their Facebook feeds.
There will be ads too, eventually.
We think this is the best version of
Facebook there is, Zuckerberg said.
Zuckerberg says users can have an
experience on Android phones that
they cant have on other platforms.
Thats because Google makes the soft-
ware available on an open-source ba-
sis, allowing others to adapt it to their
needs.
Recognizing that text messaging is
one of the most important tasks on a
mobile phone, Facebook also showed
off a feature called chat heads. This
lets users communicate with their
friends directly from their phones
home screen without opening a
separate app.
The move that coincides with rapid
growth among the number of users
who access the social network from
smartphones and tablet computers
and Facebooks aim to evolve from its
Web-based roots into a mobile-rst
company.
What Facebook wants is to put it-
self at the front of the Android user
experience for as many Facebook users
as possible and make Facebook more
elemental to their customers experi-
ence, said Forrester analyst Charles
Golvin.
The new Home service wont be
available on Apples iPhone and iPad
devices. Apples iOS and Mac operating
systems include features that integrate
Facebooks services, but Zuckerberg
says doing something like Home would
require a closer partnership.

Walgreen Co. has stretched
the reach of its drugstore clinics
beyond treating ankle sprains
and sinus infections to handling
chronic diseases such as diabe-
tes, asthma and high blood pres-
sure.
The company, based in Deer-
eld, Ill., said Thursday that
most of its roughly 370 in-store
Take Care Clinics now will diag-
nose, treat and monitor patients
with some chronic conditions
that are typically handled by
doctors.
Drugstore clinics, which are
run by nurse practitioners or
physician assistants, have grown
popular in recent years as a con-
venient and less expensive way
to treat relatively minor illness-
es when a patient doesnt have a
doctor or if their physician isnt
available. But the clinics have
been broadening their scope of
care: Walgreens decision fol-
lows a move by competitor CVS
Caremark Corp. a few years
ago to start monitoring chronic
conditions at most of its 640
MinuteClinics.
Drugstores say they dont aim
to replace doctors, but rather to
provide more people with ac-
cess to health care and to work
with physicians as part of a team
treating patients. But the move
to provide more complex care
draws concern from doctors
who say that can disrupt their
relationships with patients and
lead to fragmented care.
Dr. Jeffrey J. Cain, president
of the American Academy of
Family Physicians, one of the
nations largest medical organi-
zations, compares the clinics to
fast-food restaurants. He said
theyre good for the occasional
meal but not something a per-
son wants to rely on for too
much of their diet.
Walgreen said its expansion
into chronic care is based on
need. Cases of diseases such as
diabetes are growing and the
U.S. population is aging.
In addition, the health care
overhaul will increase coverage
to millions of uninsured people
next year. That coverage expan-
sion will arrive as the country
struggles with a doctor short-
age, Walgreen noted.

TOKYO Japan is taking aggres-
sive action to lift consumer prices, en-
courage borrowing and help pull the
worlds third-largest economy out of a
long slump.
Like the U.S. Federal Reserve, Ja-
pans central bank plans to ood its
nancial system with more money
its most far-reaching step to date to get
consumers and companies to borrow
and spend.
The Bank of Japans action will also
drive down the value of the yen. A
cheaper currency will make Japanese
goods from Toyota cars to Sony TVs
less costly for Americans and other
foreigners. And it will make U.S. and
other exports more expensive in Japan.
The move comes as major central
banks around the world are acting to
stimulate their economies. On Thurs-
day, European Central Bank President
Mario Draghi said the ECB is consid-
ering doing more to shore up the ail-
ing economy of the euro alliance. The
ECB left its benchmark interest rate
unchanged at 0.75 percent, but Draghi
said an interest rate cut was discussed
Thursday.
Draghi also said the central bank is
considering various tools beyond
lower rates in case Europes economy
needs more help.
And the U.S. Fed has said it expects
to keep short-term rates at record lows
at least until unemployment falls to 6.5
percent from the current 7.7 percent.
The Fed also plans to continue buying
$85 billion a month in bonds indenitely
to keeplong-termborrowing costs down.
