HARRISBURG Gov.

Tom
Corbetts top Department of
Public Welfare ofcial smiled
and once again offered a varia-
tion of a statement that she had
made countless times already in
the past 24 hours to lawmakers
pressing her for answers.
At this time were moving
down the path to look at all ways
we can allow Pennsylvanians to
have access
to affordable,
quality health
care, Bev
Mackereth told
members of
the House Ap-
propri at i ons
Committee on
We dne s da y,
the day after
she testied before the Senate
Appropriations Committee.
That path will take Corbett to
Washington to meet with U.S.
Health and Human Services
Secretary Kathleen Sebelius
about whether Pennsylvania
should undertake a massive
expansion of Medicaids health
care coverage, largely to low-
income adults, under the 2010
Affordable Care Act.
The meeting possibly in
late March or early April, Cor-
betts administration says a date
isnt set yet will be closely
watched by people on both sides
of the debate.
The federal government
would foot nearly all of the cost
of providing health care to hun-
dreds of thousands of additional
Pennsylvanians by widening
Medicaids income eligibility
guidelines to 133 percent of the
federal poverty level, or about
$31,300 for a family of four.
But Corbett, a Republican
who sued unsuccessfully to
throw out the 2010 law, is not
embracing that option, which
is available to every state as a
result of a U.S. Supreme Court
decision last summer that said
the law could not force states
into an expansion.
Corbett maintains that the
expansion would require a tax
increase because of future costs
the state might have to shoulder,
unless the federal government

VATICAN CITY A pas-
tor in Ontario wondered about
behind-the-scenes politicking
ahead of the conclave to elect
the next pope. He could have
read news reports or listened to
briengs by the Vatican spokes-
man. Instead, he asked a cardi-
nal. Less than
an hour later,
the response
arrived.
What I see
is a real desire
to know, and
so evaluate,
the papabili
against criteria
of qualities de-
manded by situations, wrote
Cardinal Wilfrid Napier of Dur-
ban, South Africa, using the
term papabili for cardinals
seen as papal contenders.
The exchange occurred on
Twitter, one of many online in-
teractions that have made this
papal succession unlike any
other for Roman Catholics and
observers of the church. While
the election starting Tuesday
will remain strictly secret, social
media is providing a direct link
to the events surrounding the
succession, creating a virtual
conclave that involves lay peo-
ple in everything from voting to
prayer.
I think its fabulous for the
church, said Brother Martin
Browne, a Benedictine monk in
County Limerick, Ireland, who
is following Vatican analysts and
reporters on Twitter instead of
watching general news cover-
age. I think more people un-
derstand whats going on now
because theres greater access to
good information.
No one will be posting up-
dates from inside the Sistine
Chapel. The Vatican will acti-
vate electronic jamming devices
so no one can listen in or report
out. You obviously cant have
cardinals inside the conclave

The massive Avondale pit in
Plymouth Township one of
the largest coal-mining scars in
the state is now a memory.
Mike Dziak stood atop the
now-lled void last week, rel-
ishing the panoramic Wyoming
Valley view that might someday
be enjoyed by the occupants of
houses and townhomes he envi-
sions there.
As executive director of the
nonprot Earth Conservancy,
which owns the site, Dziak
pushed hard for $3.47 million to
reclaim the 90-acre site, which
was strip-mined for about two
decades and abandoned in 1959
by the Glen Alden Coal Co.
The restoration was funded
through the state Department
of Environmental Protections
Bureau of Abandoned Mine
Reclamation using fees received
fromcoal mined in recent years.
Its really rewarding, said
Dziak. This place was unus-
able and dangerous.
The pit has been a magnet
for illegal dumping for decades.
Tires, rusted cars ditched by
thieves and hundreds of televi-
sions and refrigerators had to
be removed when the reclama-
tion began in mid-2000, Dziak
said.
Locals used to call it the Blue
Lagoon in the 1960s when the

Can your pet compromise your email security?
IT SEEMED like an
innocuous question:
Whats your favorite
pets name?
Posed to me by the
Internet provider I
use to access the Web,
I quickly answered
the query when I set up my account
years ago. I named the dog. Other than
worrying that my two cats might be of-
fended, I never thought about it again.
It wasnt until I met Jonathan Weber,
a junior at East Stroudsburg University
studying computer security, that I real-
ized I had opened the door for my iden-

Weber, owner of Marathon Studios

mon mistake that could allow a hacker
to hijack my account.
I had chosen a far too common an-
swer to the security question my pro-
vider asks any time I forget my pass-
word.
He was about to show me how much
trouble that could cause.

M
arlyne Ann Lipfert, 71, of
Dallas, passed away peace-
fully at the Wilkes-Barre General
Hospital on Thursday, March 7,
2013, surrounded by several mem-
bers of her large family of friends.
She was born in Kingston on
Feb. 22, 1942, the only child of the
late William and Justine Miller
Lipfert. She grew up in Trucks-
ville and graduated from West-
moreland High School in 1960.
She then decided to become the
primary caretaker of her maternal
grandmother, Lilith Miller, in the
family home.
After her grandmothers death,
she moved to Washington, D.C.
Her rst position was working
as a secretary for OB-GYN doc-
tors Dusbabek, Liverett, Erken-
beck and Skilling, in downtown
Washington. She quickly became
very uent in the medical terms
needed to assist patients. She
then moved to another secretarial
position with the National Confer-
ence for Community and Justice
(NCCJ) and again became pro-
cient in that area.
Next she went to work as a re-
ceptionist for U.S. Sen. Clifford
P. Case of New Jersey. Her work
with him was extremely reward-
ing in a variety of ways. Unfortu-
nately, Sen. Case was defeated in
the primary in his bid for
re-election in 1979. This is
when Marlyne found her true
niche in life: working for the En-
vironmental Protection Agency as
a paralegal.
Once again, she became very
accomplished in her work and
was often thought to be an attor-
ney. Marlyne retired from in EPA
in the mid-90s and returned to
the family home in Trucksville.
After searching for a ranch-style
home for many years, she nally
purchased a home in the Elmcrest
section of Dallas, residing there
for approximately six years. At a
certain point, she decided to buy
a home in Brevard, N.C., but was
not able to move there perma-
nently.
Upon returning to the Back
Mountain area, she became very
active in the North Branch Land
Trust, serving as treasurer for
many years. The next endeavor
that was near and dear to her
heart was The Lands at Hillside
Farm, serving on its board of
directors until her demise. She
spent many hours volunteering
there. One of her biggest and
time-consuming efforts was re-
storing The Cottage. Marlyne
was a strong advocate for the con-
cept of a sustainable farm and the
many educational services that
are provided.
She is survived by cousins, Lin-
da Werner, Tom and Carol Ram-
say, and Judy Myers of Columbus,
Ohio; Don Lipfert, Michigan; and
Claire Gallagher, Texas.
Marlyne will be greatly missed
be her family of friends and her
beloved pets, Jake, Mollie and Le
Le.
Her family of friends will be
planning a memorial service in the
late spring. Arrangements have
been in the care of the Yanaitis
Funeral Home Inc., Plains Town-
ship. Condolences and memories
of Marlyne can be posted at www.
yanaitisfuneralhome.com.
WEST PITTSTON Hard-
ing resident Marianne Lurie
gave a demonstration Saturday
afternoon at the West Pittston
Library on the art of creating
pysanky eggs a Ukrainian Eas-
ter tradition.
The vividly colored, elabo-
rately decorated eggs have been
an Eastern European custom
for more than 2,000 years, Lurie
said.
Luries talents previously
caught the attention of the li-
brarys director, Anne Bramblett-
Barr, after she saw the pysanky
donkey that Lurie designed in
2002 as part of a community art
event. The donkey was one of
Scrantons painted mules and
was purchased by West Pittston
resident Cliff Melberger.
Bramblett-Barr decided to
learn more about the art, and lat-
er invited Lurie to demonstrate
the process at the library. Lurie
learned the art from her grandfa-
ther and mother, she said.
Sixteen people attended Satur-
days demonstration and discus-
sion, drawn there for various rea-
sons. Plains Township resident
Dottie Rodriquez said that she
always admired the eggs and
wanted to see how they were
done.
Avoca resident Ann Francis
said her grandparents were
of Polish heritage and they
also made pysanky. Francis
broughther 9-year-old grandson,
Andrew Francis, of Moosic, so
that he could learn about the
process.
Jennie Veloski, of Franklin
Township, said she admires
those with a lot of talent. Ve-
loski, who is part of a Trucksville
quilting group that distributes
handmade quilts to Hersheys
Childrens Hospital, said this is
the rst year she attended the
pysanky demonstration.
Forty Fort resident EdithJones
attended a similar program two
years ago and came back to see
how it is done again. Jones add-
ed that she has never tried (the
art) herself.
David and Arlene Grudkowski,
of Dallas, brought their 10-year-
old daughter, Amelia, to viewthe
designing of the pysanky. Arlene
and Amelia Grudkowski also be
attending a mother-daughter
pysanky party on Palm Sunday,
they said.
The afternoons demonstra-
tion ended with some of the
attendees trying out the art of
pysanky for themselves.
D
orothy Lousie Simko, 90, of
Harding, went peacefully
to be with the Lord on March 8,
2013 surrounded by her loving
family.
Born in Pittsburgh, she was the
daughter of the late Victor and
Bertha Moxley Gawlik.
Dorothy lived a full and blessed
life with her late husband Ste-
phen P. Simko. Together, they
celebrated 66 years of marriage
while raising eight children.
Dorothy was a graduate of West
Wyoming High School, where she
loved and excelled in basketball
and softball. She insisted on hunt-
ing and always having a garden
for fresh food and canning.
Her love of the Lord and fam-
ily led her on many paths to in-
spire others where she taught and
cooked, at the Full Gospel Acad-
emy, Pittston, and also started
the organization Mission Impos-
sible to help others who were
less fortunate.
She was a lifelong Christian
who touched the lives of everyone
she met with her strong faith and
belief in the Lord. To this day, she
is known as Mom to the count-
less friends and strangers she ex-
tended her helping hand to.
Preceding her in death, in ad-
dition to husband, Stephen P.
Simko, on March 3, 2010, were
a son, Daniel, and a sister, Helen
Conrad.

aldine and her husband, Wallace
Talley, of Newark, Del., Stephen
V., of Harding, James and his
wife, Michele, of Pittston, George

ing; 12 grandchildren; four great-
grandchildren; brother, Victor
Kupcek, Rockport, Ind.; sisters,

3 escape unharmed from W-B apartment re
WILKES-BARRE - Three resi-
dents escaped a re at a Barney
Street apartment building Friday
night, the city re department
said.
City reghters responded at
10:03 p.m. Friday to a re on the
second oor of 15 Barney St., a
three-story multi-unit apartment
building, said Assistant Chief
Thomas Makar. Flames were
shooting from rear second-story
windows and spread to the third
oor, Makar said.
Three residents of a rst-oor
apartment were home at the
time of the re, but escaped after
smoke alarms sounded in their
apartment. They are staying with
family members, Makar said.
The second and third oors
were unoccupied, Makar said.
The re was signicant enough
that re crews called for a third
alarm and placed a reserve engine
into service. There were at least
four hoses pumping water into
the building until the re was ex-
tinguished, Makar said. The extra
crews were able to extinguish the
ames relatively quickly, Makar
said, with the department clearing
the scene at 1:18 a.m. Saturday.
The cause of the re is under in-
vestigation by the city re inspec-
tor, Makar said.
The building sustained heavy
re, smoke and water damage to
the second oor, and moderate
smoke and water damage to the
third oor. Damage to the rst-
oor apartment was lighter, but
Makar said the tenants will not be
able to return home until the dam-
ages have been repaired.
When you have all that water
in the house, that comes down
through where all the wiring is,
he said. So until thats dried out
and checked out, that poses a re
hazard.

2 adults, 5 children are killed in Ky. re
The Associated Press
GRAY, Ky. Fire erupted
Saturday at a rural Kentucky
home, killing two adults and
ve children inside, a coroner
said.
Knox County Coroner Mike
Blevins said Saturday after-
noon that the adult victims
found inside the ranch-style
home were a woman and her
boyfriend. The woman was
the mother of three of the chil-
dren who died, while two oth-
er children were from another
family, he said.
New rules went into ef-
fect this year restricting
where you can pitch that
old console TV, Apple II or
Commodore 64.
Under the states Cov-
ered Device Recycling Act,
homeowners can no longer
dispose of televisions, com-
puters, printers and other
hooded electronics in the
trash.
Heres what you need to
know about the law and
how to dispose of your un-
wanted electronics.
What does the act mean
to me?
Covered electronic de-
vices such as computers,
monitors, printers and
televisions may no longer
be discarded in landlls.
Pennsylvania landlls are
prohibited from accepting
them. Manufacturers of
these items are required to
accept them for recycling,
and owners wishing to dis-
pose of them should con-
tact the manufacturer. They
also can be disposed of at
electronics recycling events
hosted by Luzerne County
in June and October. Cer-
tain retailers also accept
them for recycling.
What else does it do?
Manufacturers of elec-
tronic devices sold in Penn-
sylvania now must be reg-
istered with Department of
Environmental Protection
and have a plan for collect-
ing and recycling the cov-
ered devices they market in
the state. Covered electron-
ics may be sold in Pennsyl-
vania only if they have been
labeled with a brand name
that has been registered
with DEP. Manufacturers
must renew their registra-
tions with the state annu-
ally.
What items do the new
rules concern?
The disposal ban affects
only desktop and laptop
computers, computer moni-
tors and computer peripher-
als such as printers and tele-
visions. The department
also encourages residents
to recycle other electronic
devices, such as cellphones,
rather than throwing them
away, and to think of others
who might use the equip-
ment before disposing of it
at all.
Why were these rules
enacted?
Electronic equipment
contains metals and other
materials including cad-
mium, leaded glass, mer-
cury, hexavalent chromium,
lithium and phosphorous
that can harm the environ-
ment and human health if
improperly disposed.
When will the county
accept these items for re-
cycling?
Luzerne County plans to
hold electronics collections
in June and October. Dates

rates are increasing in the region
or simply being exaggerated by
the new media a question
that might get
answered dur-
ing a Crime

cussion to air

and commu-

County District Attorney Ste-
fanie Salavantis, Hazleton Police
Chief Frank DeAndrea and Ha-
zleton Area School District Su-
perintendent Francis Antonelli.
The discussion, at the Wiltsie
Center for the Performing Arts,
will be open to the public.
Tarone, news director at
WYLN, said this kind of forum
is newto the TVcompany. This
is kind of uncharted territory,
Tarone said. Im hoping that by
trading some information, there
might be some kind of conclu-
sion.
According to reports in the
Pennsylvania Uniform Crime
Reporting System, there were
229 robberies in Luzerne Coun-
ty recorded in 2012 45 fewer
than the prior year. Similarly,
there were 1,508 assaults re-
corded in 2012, with 1,794 in
2011.
Meanwhile, as there were
modest declines in robbery
and assault, there were about
25 more reported sex-related
crimes last year than in 2011
and about 10 more drug viola-
tions.
Tarone said there is a com-
mon misconception with crime.
People assume because it is rel-
evant in the news, that they are
vulnerable to it, he said.
Just because the guy who
lives down the street had his

Group gets primer on gun rights
DALLAS The Irregulars
Think Tank group, consist-
ing of Back Mountain profes-
sionals who gather monthly
for self-improvement over
breakfast, on Saturday heard
presenter, chaplain, retired
welfare ofcer and U.S. Ma-
rine Ken Fatula, of Berwick,
discuss guns in the United
States.
Fatula explained the evolu-
tion of rearms regulations,
starting with the relation-
ship between King Alfred
the Great of England and his
subjects in the late 800s, A.D.
The people possessed weap-
ons to protect their homes,
property and family, he said.
Secondly, the people had a
responsibility to their coun-
try, he said.
Citizens should be armed
so they can be called upon to
defend their country, Fatula
said.
The 10 amendments were
written to clarify the U.S.
Constitution, so that it would
not be misconstrued by its
executors and legislators. A
person and his or her gov-
ernment achieve a symbiotic
relationship through mutual
respect, he said.
If law-abiding citizens are
given the right to bear arms
responsibly, the government
reveres the people because
they are armed. Likewise,
he said, the people revere
their government because it
grants the right to bear arms
and they earn mutual trust.
He referenced the United
Kingdoms current restrictive
gun laws that limit purchase
to shotguns and non-auto-
matic ries and call for an
extensive licensing process.
He believes, because of this
heavy-handed restriction,
crime rates are greater there
than anywhere in the West-
ern Hemisphere, he said.
Concerning automatic
weapons, said Fatula, since
the early 1930s, people have
been able to buy them. In
the past 80 years, he said, a
legally obtained automatic
weapon was used in a crime
only once in this country.
Though illegally obtained
automatic weapons are used
in crimes, more homicides
are committed each year
with clubs and hammers
than ries of any kind, Fatula
said.

Perfect march day in Scranton
JASON RIEDMILLER PHOTOS/FOR THE TIMES LEADER
T
he Irish seemingly had luck
with the weather Saturday,
as evident by the sunshine and
blue sky for the St. Patricks Day
Parade in Scranton. Only a day
earlier, winter was in full force
as it blew through with a snow-
storm. Thousands marched,
walked or rode in the 10 divi-
sions that made up the 52nd
annual parade, and thousands
more watched along the route
on what turned out to be a day
with warm, spring-like tempera-
tures. The parade drew people
from Northeastern Pennsylvania
and beyond to the downtown.
In above photo, with a smile
and a wave, Miss Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton Cassie Cerulli greeted
spectators from atop her ride.
With the boom of a bass drum,
the snap of snare drums and the
unmistakable strains of bag-
pipes, the Wyoming Valley Pipe
& Drum Band, at right, stepped
smartly along Wyoming Avenue.

CAIRO Egyptian soccer
fans rampaged through the
heart of Cairo on Saturday,
furious about the acquittal
of seven police ofcers while
death sentences against 21 al-
leged rioters were conrmed
in a trial over a stadium me-
lee that left 74 people dead.
The case of the Feb. 1, 2012
stadium riot in the city of
Port Said at the northern tip
of the Suez Canal has taken
on political undertones not
only because police faced al-
legations of negligence in the
tragedy, but also because the
verdicts were announced at
a time when Egypt is in the
grip of the latest and most
serious bout of political tur-
moil in the two years since
Hosni Mubaraks ouster.
Saturdays verdicts also
were handed down against the
backdrop of an unprecedented
wave of strikes by the nations
police force over demands for
better working conditions and
anger over what many believe
are attempts by President Mo-
hammed Morsi and his Mus-
lim Brotherhood to take con-
trol of the police force.
Tensions over the riot
which began when support-
ers of Port Saids Al-Masry
club set upon fans of Cairos
Al-Ahly club after the nal
whistle of a league game that
the home team won have
fueled some of the deadliest
street violence in months.
Police guarding the stadium,
meanwhile, faced allegations
ranging from not searching
people entering the stadium
to failing to intervene to stop
the bloodshed.
Shortly after the verdict
was announced Saturday,
angry fans of Cairos Al-Ahly
club who had gathered in the
thousands outside the teams
headquarters in central Cairo
went on a rampage, torching a
police club nearby and storm-
ing Egypts soccer federation
headquarters before setting it
ablaze.
The twin res sent plumes
of thick black smoke billow-
ing out over the Cairo skyline,
prompting Defense Minister
Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi to dis-
patch two army helicopters to
extinguish the res.
At least ve people were in-
jured in the protests over the
verdict, a Health Ministry of-
cial told the MENAstate news
agency.
Some demonstrators in Port
Said also burnt tires on the
citys dock to prevent vessels
from coming in and released
speedboats into trafc lanes
of the Suez Canal in attempts,
foiled by the navy, to disrupt
shipping in the vital waterway
linking the Red Sea to the Med-
iterranean.
ALBANY, N.Y. A health
study cited by leading environ-
mentalist Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
as pivotal in helping persuade
Gov. Andrew Cuomo to hold off
on plans for limited gas drilling
is likely years away from conclu-
sions about whether the tech-
nology involved is safe, accord-
ing to the projects leaders.
With New York entering the
fth year of review of the pro-
cess known as
hydraulic frac-
turing, or frack-
ing, growing
calls to wait for
the Geisinger
Health System
study to be
nished could
push a nal de-
cision back several more years,
frustrating landowners and the
industry that had hoped to begin
tapping the gas reserve that lies
below parts of the state.
Preliminary results could be
released within a year.
We dont really believe that
there is a fast answer here, if
youre looking at the issue of
health impacts, Andy Deubler,
an executive vice president at
Geisinger Health System in
Pennsylvania, said in an inter-
view. Youve got to have all the
data before you can come to a
conclusion.
The study, still in early plan-
ning stages with only a fraction
of its necessary funding, is but
one piece of a larger body of in-
dependent research just getting
under way and seeking funding.
Geisinger, based in Danville,
serves 2.6 million patients and
operates hospitals, clinics and
an insurance program in 44
Pennsylvania counties, where
fracking is being done. That
gives it vast troves of health
care data concerning everything
from cancer to car accidents to
asthma attacks. The company
says research has been funda-
mental to its mission since it
was founded in 1915 but also
says its never done a study like
this.
Alan Leshner, CEO of the
American Association for the
Advancement of Science, wrote
in an email that its extremely
rare for any single scientic or
health study to resolve a difcult
question. Complex issues typi-
cally require a series of incre-
mental studies that either build
on or test the suggestions from
previous work, he said.

Peacekeepers set free
R
ebels in southern Syria freed 21
U.N. peacekeepers on Friday after
holding them hostage for four days,
driving them to the border with Jor-
dan after accusations from Western of-
cials that the little-known group had
tarnished the image of those ghting
to topple President Bashar Assad.
The abduction and the tortured
negotiations that ended it highlight
the disorganization of the rebel move-
ment, which has hindered its ability
to ght Assad and complicates vows
by the United States and others to
provide assistance.
It also has raised concerns about the
future of United Nations operations
in the area. The Filipino peacekeep-
ers were abducted on Wednesday by
one of the rebel groups operating in
southern Syria near the Jordanian
border and the Israeli-occupied Golan
Heights, where a U.N. force has pa-
trolled a cease-re line between Israel
and Syria for nearly four decades.
SAN FRANCISCO
Device safe, but not super
The future is unclear for a promis-
ing heart device aimed at preventing
strokes in people at high risk of them
because of an irregular heartbeat.
Early results from a key study of
Boston Scientic Corp.s Watchman
device suggested it is safer than previ-
ous testing found, but might not be
better than a drug that is used now
for preventing strokes, heart-related
deaths and blood clots in people with
atrial brillation over the long term.
More than 2.7 million Americans
and 15 million people worldwide have
atrial brillation. The upper chambers
of the heart quiver instead of beating
properly. That lets blood pool in a
small pouch. Clots can form and travel
to the brain, causing a stroke.
WASHINGTON
Export U.S. natural gas?
The natural gas boom in North
Texas is sputtering, with the number
of rigs working the Barnett Shale
recently hitting a 10-year low. Its an
issue elsewhere, as well, as the glut
of domestic energy thats transform-
ing America drives down the price
of natural gas and makes drilling less
protable.
An industry association based in
Fort Worth, Texas, is among those
arguing that a solution is for the
federal government to allow exports
of Americas natural gas to foreign
nations, where the price can be ve
times higher.

Civil War sailors buried
More than 150 years after the USS
Monitor sank off North Carolina
during the Civil War, two unknown
crewmen found in the ironclads turret
when it was raised a decade ago were
buried Friday at Arlington National
Cemetery.
The evening burial, which included
a gun salute and a band playing
America the Beautiful, might be the
last time Civil War soldiers are buried
at the cemetery overlooking Washing-
ton.
Today is a tribute to all the men
and women who have gone to sea,
but especially to those who made the
ultimate sacrice on our behalf, said
Navy Secretary Ray Mabus, who spoke
at a funeral service before the burial.

Venezuelan dictators body to be displayed, a la Lenin
No one lives forever nor do they
last forever. At least not without a lot
of tuneups.
As much as it might seem as if the
bodies of famous world leaders such
as Vladimir Ilyich Lenin and Mao Ze-
dong have been preserved for all eter-
nity, their enduring physical presence
is simply an illusion aided by science.
Only the Venezuelan ofcials who
have promised to preserve Hugo
Chavez and display his body for eter-
nity inside a glass tomb know exactly
how theyre going to do it.
But if they were to followprocedures
that are used in the United States, the
technique might be rather simple: re-
peat embalming.
The rst thing to remember about
embalming as we do it in the U.S. is
that it is designed to delay the natural
deterioration of the body; its not for-
ever, said Vernie Fountain, a licensed
embalmer and owner and founder
of the Fountain National Academy
of Professional Embalming Skills in
Springeld, Missouri.
So what does that mean exactly?
You might want to put down your
sandwich before you read on.
In the United States, most em-
balmers use a machine that injects
uid laced with chemicals, principally
formaldehyde, into an artery of the
body, while the majority of the blood
is emptied from a vein. Often a chemi-
cal known as a humectant is added,
which helps to ll out the body, some
of the hollow spaces, and adds a de-
gree of moisture, Fountain said.
While he stressed that he has no
personal knowledge about the condi-
tion of Chavezs body at the time of
his death or when it was or will be
embalmed, Fountain said one possible
method of preserving his corpse is to
follow the embalming process with
a periodic injection of humectant or
something similar to keep moisture in
the tissues.
Makeup also helps to cover areas
that have gone brown with dehydra-
tion.
Just to be safe, Venezuelan ofcials
could take an extra precautionary step
and make a face mask, using Chavezs
real face to form a mold that could be
placed over the esh in the future and
keep it looking more like he did when
he died, Fountain said.

Violence mars Hagels rst trip to Afghanistan
KABUL, AfghanistanTwo
suicide bombings and a host of
looming disagreements with
the Afghan president cast a
shadow on Saturday over U.S.
Defense Secretary Chuck Ha-
gels rst visit to Afghanistan
since taking the post.
Nineteen Afghans were
killed including eight chil-
dren in the suicide attacks
in Kabul and in the eastern
Khost province. A U.S. con-
tractor was killed and four
soldiers injured when attack-
ers thought to be Afghan sol-
diers stormed their base and
opened re Friday, only hours
before Hagel arrived.
This attack was a message
to him, Taliban spokesman
Zabiullah Mujahid said in an
email to reporters about one
of the bombings, which was
outside the countrys Defense
Ministry in Kabul.
Afghan President Hamid
Karzai, meanwhile, was stand-
ing by a demand that U.S. spe-
cial operations forces leave a
province neighboring Kabul
by Monday for alleged abuses
of Afghan civilians charg-
es U.S. ofcials deny. And a
handover ceremony scheduled
for Saturday of a U.S. deten-
tion facility also fell through,
when U.S. and Afghan ofcials
ran into last-minute disagree-
ments.
The barrage of crises herald-
ing Hagels arrival illustrates
the complex mineeld of dip-
lomatic and military issues fac-
ing the U.S.-led NATO force.
Attacks coinciding with
defense secretarys visit a
message, Taliban says.

house broken into, doesnt mean
its going to happen to you, he
said.
In most of the crimes his
team reports on, he said, the
victims know the criminal in
some way. My reporters are
trained, Tarone said. The rst
thing you ask (when you get to
a crime scene is) Was this ran-
dom?
More often than not, he said,
the answer is No.
The commercial-free broad-
cast will begin with a few ques-
tions from the moderators, then
move to an open question time
during which audience mem-
bers can poll the panel or make
comments.
Audience members are free
to offer constructive criticism
of agencies and individuals, but
aggressive remarks will not be
tolerated, Tarone said.

CRIME
he has a sportsmans permit
to carry a concealed weapon
because he often works with
the police. However, he said he
keeps his guns locked at home.
He believes automatic weap-
ons and especially large am-
munition magazines should
not be readily available to civil-
ians, he said.
JimZardecki, an Irregular at-
tendee and past Luzerne Coun-
ty chief detective known best
for his role in collaring con-
victed mass murderer George
Banks, in 1982, said even as he
has left the detectives ofce to
work for banking companies
in fraud prevention, he is sur-
prised by the minds volatility.
The most important thing
Ive learned in my career is
how fragile the human mind
is, Zardecki said.
The hardest part is keeping
guns away from those people
unt to own them, Zardecki
said. Privacy law makes it dif-
cult to properly screen poten-
tial criminals, he said. He also
agreed that, like anything else,
if criminals want guns, they
will nd a way to get them.

RECYCLE
now: new young cardinal from
wherever, said Greg Burke,
a Vatican communications ad-
viser.
But in the run-up to the cer-
emony, several cardinals have
been interacting with the faith-
ful on Facebook, Twitter and
elsewhere in some cases even
during the interview ban the Col-
lege of Cardinals imposed last
week to prevent leaks about their
daily meetings.
Cardinal Ruben Salazar Go-
mez, archbishop of Bogota, Co-
lombia, tweeted that although
God would ultimately choose the
next pontiff, he wanted to know
what his followers hoped for in a
new pope.
I would very much like your
feedback, he wrote in Spanish.
Onzulumissions.org, a site for the
Archdiocese of Durban, church
ofcials have been providing up-
dates for parishioners leaving
messages and prayers for Napier.
Along with daily meetings and in-
formal dinners, several of the 115
cardinal-electors, some of whom
had never met, say theyre using
Google to research each others
writings and church works.
Yet, the numbers of cardinals
who directly participate online
is relatively small. About two
dozen had Twitter accounts
when Benedict XVI stepped
down. Many church leaders
have accounts in their name, or
on behalf of their dioceses, but
leave it to their communications
staff to actually write Facebook
posts and send tweets. Benedict
used the Twitter handle (at)
pontifex, but he, too, let advis-
ers write the messages. The ac-
count has been taken down and
the papal tweets saved.
The more intensive activity is
springing up among parishioners
and the generally curious.
Spotify has a conclave-themed
music list. (The hymn Ubi cari-
tas et amor, or Wherever char-
ity and love are, is included.) A
fan of Cardinal Luis Antonio Ta-
gle, archbishop of Manila, posted
a YouTube video of a song about
why Tagle should be the next
pope. (About 8,600 hits by the
weekend.) Several sites saying
theyre trying to crowd-source the
conclave by setting up their own
election sites. A Twitter account
recently opened with the handle
(at)papalsmokestack. It has a
photo of the Vatican chimney that
will carry the white smoke signal
alerting the world when a new
pope has been elected.
OnAdopt-a-Cardinal, people
register an email address and in
return receive the name of a car-
dinal to adopt in prayer through
the conclave. The site was the
work of some members of Youth
2000, a church-recognized group
in Germany. Someone saw a
newspaper feature with photos
of all the cardinals and remarked:
Those cardinals need to be
prayed for, said Ulli Heckl, who
works with the organization.
Volunteers created the web-
site in German and English and
drew so many responses the
server briey crashed. Others
who ran across the site offered
to translate it into additional lan-
guages. Soon, versions went live
in Spanish, Italian and French, as
well. Nearly 400,000 people had
signed up days before the con-
clave.
Heckl said she has heard from
entire families who are together
praying for one cardinal. Anoth-
er family put a photo of the car-
dinal at each of their bedsides so
they would remember to pray
every night.

The Associated Press
WASHINGTON Few
presidents in modern times
have been as interested in gun
control as Richard Nixon, of all
people. He proposed ridding
the market of Saturday night
specials, contemplated ban-
ning handguns altogether and
refused to pander to gun own-
ers by feigning interest in their
weapons.
Several previously unreport-
ed Oval Ofce recordings and
White House memos from the
Nixon years show a conserva-
tive president who at times
appeared willing to take on
the National Rie Association,
a powerful gun lobby then as
now, even as his aides worried
about the political ramica-
tions.
I dont know why any indi-
vidual should have a right to
have a revolver in his house,
Nixon said in a taped conversa-
tion with aides. The kids usu-
ally kill themselves with it and
so forth. He asked why cant
we go after handguns, period?
Nixon went on: I know the
rie association will be against
it, the gun makers will be
against it. But people should
not have handguns. He laced
his comments with obsceni-
ties, as was typical.
Nixon made his remarks
in the Oval Ofce on May 16,
1972, the day after a would-be
assassin shot and paralyzed
segregationist presidential
candidate George Wallace. As
president, Nixon never pub-
licly called for a ban on all
handguns. Instead, he urged
Congress to pass more mod-
est legislation banning Satur-
day night specials, which were
cheaply made, easily concealed
and often used by criminals.
Nixon wanted total handgun ban

TSAs new knife policy befuddles ofcials, travelers
LOS ANGELES A move
by federal ofcials to allow pas-
sengers to board planes carrying
pocket knives has sparked a back-
lash by airline workers and is sow-
ing confusion among travelers.
The union representing air
marshals has joined ight atten-
dants, pilots and airline insurance
rms in calling on the Transpor-
tation Security Administration to
reconsider its decision to relax a
list of prohibited carry-on items.
More than 12,000 people have
signed an online petition urging
President Obama to keep knives
off planes.
Even airline management has
entered the fray. Richard Ander-
son, chief executive of Delta Air
Lines, sent a letter to the agency
Friday saying he, too, opposes the
policy change.
Allowing small knives will do
little to speed the screening of
passengers and result in addi-
tional risk to our cabin staff and
customers, the letter said.
Last week, the TSA said it
would allow air travelers to board
U.S. aircraft with small folding
knives, golf clubs, novelty bats,
hockey sticks, lacrosse sticks and
pool cues.
The agency said the move,
which would take effect April 25,
was aimed at freeing up security
ofcials to focus on bigger threats
while allowing passengers a bit
more freedom.
But for many travelers, the lat-
est change adds to the confusion
that has reigned at U.S. airports
since the 9/11 attacks.
With these changes, can we
now bring hair spray, or is that
considered more of a threat than
golf clubs? asked Sue Dessayer
Porter, a retired market research-
er from Portland, Ore.
As it is, TSA bins are overow-
ing with shampoo bottles, tooth-
paste tubes, toy guns and jugs of
booze. At Los Angeles Interna-
tional Airport, screeners ll boxes
with about 1,400 pocket knives
per month.
The list of banned items in-
cludes nine categories with more
than 70 individual items, and has
been expanded and revised sev-
eral times over the years.
TSA ofcials say the list is ad-
justed regularly in response to
intelligence about potential ter-
rorist threats. But confusion, the
TSA says, cannot be blamed on a
lack of information.
The agency distributes pam-
phlets and news releases and
posts signs at airport terminals
explaining the list. The federal
agency even created a smart-
phone app that answers the ques-
tion: When I y, can I bring my
?
Some people just dont know
what is prohibited and others just
forget and dont think twice that
the ceremonial knife that they
used to cut their wedding cake is
still a knife, said TSA spokesman
Nico Melendez.

pit held clear spring water, but
the water turned murky and
rust-colored from mounting
trash.
Dangerous pit res
Township Supervisor Joseph
Yudichak recalls pit res over
the years that endangered re-
ghters who had to scale the
strippings to extinguish them.
In the summer of 1989, a re
in the pit began a conagration
that continued for two months.
The Ofce of Surface Mining
had to build a mile-long water
pipe from the Plymouth Reser-
voir to put out the re.
The fear of someone falling
off the pit precipice was always
in the back of Yudichaks mind.
Im relieved that we no longer
have to worry about this liabil-
ity, he said.
Colleen Connolly, state DEP
regional spokeswoman, said
Avondale is one of the largest
mine reclamation projects that
has been tackled in eastern
Pennsylvania. It was an open
sore, an open wound on the
area, she said.
The word pit understates
the size of the manmade hole,
which was 800 feet wide, 2,600
feet long and more than 200
feet deep, Dziak said.
Figuring out how to ll the
void was an engineering chal-
lenge because funds werent
available to purchase and truck
in ll, he said.
Instead, contractors ini-
tially NAPCON Construction
Co. and later C.E. Ankiewicz
Construction and Excavation
Inc. of Mountain Top dug up
and transported rock and dirt
from the rest of the property
using special heavy equipment
designed to navigate the sloped
terrain, Dziak said.
A total of 1.2 million cubic
yards of material was moved to
ll the pit and reconstruct the
adjacent lands, he said.
Contractors created tiered
plateaus that can hold struc-
tures and a network of rock-
lined channels and basins
designed to drain and hold
stormwater including water
that would have gone into the
pit, he said.
Black to green
Most of the site has been
mulched and seeded to prevent
erosion. This spring, it will be
green instead of black, Dziak
said.
Future development on the
site will depend on the town-
ships success securing funds
for sewer system additions
and upgrades, Dziak said. The
township is required to com-
plete sewage work elsewhere,
and the project would include
a connection to the Avondale
property, he said.
The township received a $1
million grant for sewer work
and is in the process of applying
for another $5 million, which
should cover the lions share of
the project, Yudichak said.
The Avondale site would be
accessible from Jersey Road off
U.S. Route 11.
A residential project on
higher ground is a key to fu-
ture growth in the municipality,
which will have about 60 fewer
properties due to past and fu-
ture ood buyouts, said town-
ship Supervisor Gale Conrad.
Property taxes from one new
home valued around $225,000
compensate for the loss of
about three or four ood-prone
structures, she said.
The construction of 15 homes
in recent years is offsetting the
lost taxes frombuyouts, and the
Avondale project would allow
the township tax base to grow,
she said.
If 100 homes go up there, it
will be a nancial resolve for
Plymouth Township and its fu-
ture, she said. The views from
the Avondale site are unbeliev-
able. That alone is worth so
much.
Yudichak predicts homes at
Avondale would sell like hot-
cakes.
Ive had people tell me they
would buy a home there today if
it was available, he said.
A master plan completed in
2006 proposed around 214 sin-
gle family homes, 92 townhome
units and 90 condominiums.
The plan stated there is avail-
able access to public water,
electric and gas from the site.
Dziak pointed to some of the
locations visible from the for-
mer pit, including Nanticoke,
Sugar Notch, buildings near
the Wyoming Valley Mall and
the wind turbines in Bear Creek
Township.
He pointed out a path of
trucks climbing a distant pass
of Interstate 81.
The property also abuts the
700-acre Lackawanna State For-
est.
Thats another big selling
point, Dziak said.

The word pit understates the size of the manmade hole, more than 200 feet deep.
Earth Conservancy snapshot
Earth Conservancy is a
nonprot corporation formed
in 1991 to reclaim 16,496 acres
of mine-scarred land formerly
owned by the bankrupt Blue
Coal Corp.
The nonprot received $14.6
million in federal funding to
acquire the land in 1994. Of
that, $8 million went to local
governments for back taxes,
$2.4 million was funnelled to
Black Lung benets and $3.7
million covered state and fed-
eral back taxes.
Earth Conservancy sold
4,155 acres and donated 205
acres to date, leaving 12,136
acres.
A total 1,543 acres of Earth
Conservancy property have
been reclaimed so far, largely
with state revenue that comes
from a fee on mined coal.
The nonprots goal is for
10,000 acres of the property
to be preserved as open space,
and 2,789 is in that category
to date.
After coal mining ended, the pit became a magnet for illegal
dumping and was prone to res.
allows Pennsylvania the ability
to tailor the programs medical
benets to different types of
people it covers.
I cant recommend it right
now on the facts that I have
right now, Corbett told a Fox
Business News interviewer
Thursday.
If the facts substantially
change, then I would have to
reconsider where we are, but I
dont see that.
Corbett, along with many
lawmakers, also worries that
the federal governments prom-
ise to pay the lions share of the
tab 100 percent of the cost
for newly eligible enrollees for
the rst three years, and gradu-
ally shrinking to 90 percent af-
ter that cant be trusted.
Still, Corbett is under pres-
sure to do something about
health care, as more than half
the nations governors join the
expansion, consider it or look
for alternatives.
The AARP, hospital execu-
tives and Democratic lawmak-
ers all support the expansion.
Many Republicans in the GOP-
controlled Legislature either
oppose it or say they are unde-
cided, but a growing number
support it.
Im going to push the gover-
nor on it, said one supporter,
Senate Banking and Insurance
Committee Chairman Don
White, R-Indiana.
Time is ticking: The money
from the federal government
starts owing next year.
With Corbett up for re-
election next year, Democrats
routinely remind Corbett that
he ended a subsidized health
care program for 40,000 adults
called adultBasic and that his
administration apparently
stopped Medicaid coverage
for thousands of eligible adults
and children if not tens of
thousands amid an effort to
root out waste.
A meeting with Sebelius
could be productive.
Two other governors Re-
publican Rick Scott of Florida
and Democrat Mike Beebe of
Arkansas returned to their
states in recent weeks after
meeting with Sebelius, seem-
ingly bearing concessions.
In Beebes case, it was the
ability to use Medicaid funds
to purchase private insurance
for people who would be new-
ly eligible, an idea designed to
win over the states Republi-
can-controlled Legislature. For
Scott, it was a willingness to
allow Florida to enroll tens of
thousands of older, long-term
care patients into a Medicaid
program run by managed care
organizations.
Beebe already supported the
expansion when he met with
Sebelius; Scott changed his po-
sition after meeting with the
former Kansas governor.
Its not necessarily clear
whether Beebe and Scott had
to ght for those concessions,
or whether Sebelius agreed
to the sweeteners precisely to
get Florida and Arkansas to
join the Medicaid expansion,
said Alan Weil, the executive
director of the National Acad-
emy for State Health Policy in
Washington, D.C.
But it is clear that she wants
states to join.
Its some deal-making, but
its also some showmanship,
Weil said.
Its a win-win to do this.
(The Department of Health
and Human Services) wants
the win, but the governor also
wants to stand up in front of
the state and say, Heres the
concession I got from HHS. I
just dont know how much of
its real and how much of its
show.
Corbett is expected to bring
his own requests to a meeting
with Sebelius.
The question is whether Se-
belius will be exible enough
for Corbett.
I would say theyre abso-
lutely trying to be as exible
as possible, said Joan Alker,
the co-executive director of
Georgetown Universitys Cen-
ter for Children and Families
in Washington, D.C.

PHILADELPHIA A former
Arizona State University professor
has been ordered to stand trial for
allegedly claiming to have explo-
sives at Philadelphias Liberty Bell.
The Philadelphia Inquirer
says 41-year-old Carlos Balsas of
Tempe, Ariz., was held for trial on
charges of making a bomb threat,
possessing an instrument of crime
and related counts following a pre-
liminary hearing Friday.
Police say Balsas entered the
tourist site in Philadelphias his-
toric district on Jan. 26 and told
a screener that his bags contained
explosives.

Summary: It will turn out milder and sunny across much of the East today while
rain falls from Michigan through eastern Texas. There will be a few storms in the
Mississippi Valley while the West remains mainly dry.
Computer security expert Jona-
than Weber of Marathon Stu-
dios Inc. saw it as something
much different: an invitation for
trouble.
With a few clicks of a com-
puter mouse, Weber was able
to copy invisible information
embedded in the photo into a
readily available Internet appli-
cation, allowing him to pinpoint
the location of the home where
the shot was taken. Another
click and the Google Maps ser-
vice provided him directions to
the womans door in Florida.
The experiment, conducted
in an ofce at East Stroudsburg
University where the 21-year-
old Weber is a student, served
as a startling example of how
easily someone with even mod-
erate knowledge about comput-
ers can obtain information that
was never meant to be public.
Getting in harms way
Weber, a junior majoring in
computer security, had no ne-
farious intentions in mind. His
demonstration, conductedat the
request of a reporter, was meant
to reveal the dangers people can
create for themselves when they
fail to employ security measures
to protect their online posts.
Internet security has become
a major concern in the past de-
cade as more people have be-
come victims of identity theft.
In 2011, 11.6 million people in
the United States were victims
of identity fraud, a 13 percent in-
crease from 2011, according to
the Javelin Strategy & Research
group.
The increased popularity of
Facebook, Twitter and other
popular online social media net-
works has provided a treasure
trove of personal information
that can be used by thieves, We-
ber said.
In the Florida bloggers case,
Weber took advantage of little
known fact: Photos taken with
cellphones and most digital
cameras include something
known as meta data, or exif
data, embedded in the photo.
Weber simply clicked on the
photo posted on the womans
webpage, then pasted the In-
ternet address (url) associated
with it into an Internet applica-
tion that allowed him to pull up
a host of information about the
picture.
He knows it was taken on Dec.
5, 2012 by an iPhone 4s and that
the ash did not go off. He also
knows the exact longitude and
latitude of the camera when the
shot was taken. That longitude
and latitude, when punched
into Google Maps, allowed him
to use the street view feature to
pull up the exact address and
photo of the womans home.
Its very important people
know what kind of information
is out there and that the stuff
they are doing drops digital foot-
prints they dont know about,
Weber said. That information
can be used in ways people dont
want.
Fortunately, Weber said, Face-
book and Twitter, the nations
most popular online networks,
automatically remove exif data
from photos when they are
posted. But there are numer-
ous other sites that leave the
data intact, including Google+,
the photo sharing sites Flickr
and Photobucket and Tumblr, a
microblogging service popular
with teenagers, Weber said.
Phone and digital camera
users can alter the settings on
their cameras so that they dont
include the meta data, Weber
said. Exact instructions for each
type phone vary, but typically
its done through the settings
menu on the camera.
Privacy concerns with pho-
tos are only a small part of the
security issues the public faces
in the online world, Weber said.
More troublesome are the bla-
tant security lapses with email
accounts and postings on social
networking sites that can allow
thieves to gather information to
steal your identity, he said.
Common mistake
One of the most common
mistakes people make is allow-
ing too much information about
themselves to be publicly avail-
able on Facebook the hugely
popular social networking site
allows people to post pictures,
videos and comments about
themselves and others.
The Javelin groups study
found 68 percent of people with
public proles shared their
birthday information, with 45
percent of them providing the
exact date and year informa-
tion thats key to a person want-
ing to steal your identity.
Facebook contains several dif-
ferent privacy settings that per-
mit a person to restrict who can
see their information and posts.
The most open setting is public,
which means everything posted
on the page is open to anyone in
the world with a Facebook ac-
count to see.
A more restrictive mode al-
lows only those the page owner
deems to be friends to see
posts and information. That pri-
vacy setting might not be quite
as private as people think, de-
pending on how its set up, We-
ber said.
Users assume limiting their
posts so that only their friends
can see them prevents strangers
from from viewing their infor-
mation, Weber said. What many
dont understand is that if their
settings allow mutual friends,
or friends of their friends, to see
their postings, theyre opening
themselves up to be seen by po-
tentially thousands of people.
Consider: If you have 500
Facebook friends, and each of
your friends has an average of
300 friends
Thats hundreds of thou-
sands of people who can see ev-
erything you post, Weber said.
Friends of a friend in Facebook
gets really big really fast.
Another thing people dont
fully comprehend is the impact
of other peoples postings that
involve them.
You knew it wasnt a good
idea to post that picture of you
passed out at the company party
on your Facebook account. But
that doesnt mean one of your
friends or co-workers wont
post it and tag you in it. If you
dont have your security settings
set to limit who can see things
that tag, it will be posted on
your Facebook page and your
friends page.
You can control what you do,
but you gotta remember, you
cannot control what other peo-
ple post about you, he said. Its
not just you you have to worry
about. Its the people youre in-
teracting with.
And then there are the pho-
tos and posts you make to other
peoples Facebook pages. People
dont realize those are not pri-
vate to that person alone and
are subject to whatever privacy
settings that person has. If their
account is public, everyone can
see it.
When you post to another
persons Facebook page, its pub-
lic by default. There is no way
to make it private, Weber said.
It wont happen to me
Why should you care about
any of this?
Most people dont, and thats
a concern, Weber said.
Part of the reason people
dont take this seriously might
be tied to the belief it wont
happen to me.
Identity theft is a growing
problem, but the reality is most
people will never be victimized.
In a 2010 report, the U.S. De-
partment of Justice found 7 per-
cent of households in the United
States had someone who had
been a victim of identity theft.
And while its possible a thief
will use Facebook to nd out
when someones away, most
burglars are not that sophisti-
cated, Weber acknowledged.
What people need to under-
stand, he said, is there are other
ramications for allowing too
much personal information
about yourself to become public.
For one, employers are in-
creasingly using Google, Face-
book and other Internet search
tools to check out people theyre
looking to hire. If you dont take
steps to control the public in-
formation thats available about
you on line, the consequences
can be troubling.
Take the case of a Monroe
County teenager, for example.
The teens mother agreed to
be a test case for Weber to see
how much information he could
obtain about the mother and her
family.
The woman, whose name is
being withheld to protect her
familys privacy, was actually
pretty good at protecting her
online identity, Weber said. She
employed high security settings
on her Facebook account and
did not provide any personal
information that was publicly
available. She also kept her
friends list private, meaning
others could not see it.
Her family and friends were
not quite as diligent, however.
Weber was able to gather in-
formation about the womans
daughter because she had made
a post to her mothers Facebook
page. That allowed him to learn
the daughters username for
her Facebook account, which
he then accessed. Information
he gained there led him to ac-
counts she had on Twitter and
Photobucket.
Weber was able to view hun-
dreds of photos she had posted,
including numerous shots of her
engaging in underage drinking
that mom had not known about.
Worse yet for the teen, some
of those images made it out-
side the Facebook world and
are available simply by doing a
Google search of her name.
You Google her name in
quotes and the rst thing that
comes up is her waving two
vodka bottles, Weber said.
In three years shes going to
get out of a college and need
a job. Every employer at least
Googles the person theyre hir-
ing.
The rst thing theyre going
to get is a picture of her under-
age, waiving a bottle of vodka.

INTERNET
at the university, Weber at-
tempted to log into my email
account of a popular service
provider.
Weber already had obtained
my email address on his own
(Ill explain more about that
later). When queried for my
password, he hit a random
set of letters. The provider,
of course, said he had entered
the wrong password. When
he did it again, it repeated
the message, and offered him
the opportunity to change the
password.
In an attempt to protect
me, the provider had, years
ago, asked me to set up a se-
curity question I must answer
correctly in order for me to
change the password.
It popped up on the screen:
Whats your favorite pets
name?
Weber doesnt know me at
all, so thats not information
he would readily have. But I
quickly learned, it wouldnt
take much for him to take a
very educated guess.
All he had to do was visit
my Facebook page.
Pet photos revealing
People love to post pic-
tures of their pets on their
Facebook page, Weber ex-
plained.
Im no exception. My Face-
book page was semi-private,
so he could not see every-
thing. But he could see all my
photos, which, at the time,
I did not restrict access to
(thats now changed).
If he went to my photo
page, he would see lots of pic-
tures of my furry little friend,
some of which had her name
attached. If he was an identity
thief, he would have just hit
the jackpot.
Without my knowledge, he
could have accessed my email
and all the information it
contained, including sensi-
tive nancial details in emails
from my bank and other ac-
counts, such as Paypal.
Next he could have
changed the password and se-
curity question, meaning Id
be locked out of the account,
leaving him free to contact
all my other accounts and at-
tempt to change those pass-
words as well.
That likely wouldnt be too
hard, he said.
I guarantee you, your pass-
word for a lot of things is the
same, or some variation of
the same, Weber said. Once
I have your email account,
everything else comes down
like a house of cards.
I felt like an idiot. My only
solace came in learning Im
not the only one out there
who failed woefully in prop-
erly securing my account.
I had some pretty notable
company, Weber said, includ-
ing Sarah Palin, the former
governor of Alaska and vice
presidential candidate.
Palins email was hacked
a few years ago, Weber said,
because someone gured out
her dogs name. She, like I,
had used that information as
her security question, he said.
Your pets name, mothers
maiden name and anniver-
sary date are among some
of the most popular security
questions sites ask to conrm
your identity. That type of in-
formation is public informa-
tion that, with only a moder-
ate amount of knowledge, can
be obtained by a hacker.
In my case, this wasnt even
hacking, as Weber didnt
need to input any type of
computer code to access my
computer. All he needed was
my name and email address,
which he obtained through a
Google search using a rela-
tively unsophisticated com-
puter search tactics.
Weber explained he got my
email by taking advantage of
a security aw in a program
run by the Pennsylvania De-
partment of Transportation.
Years ago, I had signed up
for email and text alerts of
road closings and delays. I
had lled out a form, via the
Internet, that listed my email
address and cellphone num-
ber. Weber was able to ac-
cess that form, as well as the
forms of thousands of others,
because PennDOT failed to
employ security features that
would ensure it did not be-
come public.
I plan to contact PennDOT
ofcials to advise them of the
issue.
Increasing security
In the interim, Ive taken
several steps to shore up my
online security.
I immediately changed
my security question for my
email. Its unique enough that
you wouldnt be able to gure
it out by looking at my Face-
book page.
Ive also removed all per-
sonal information from my
prole on Facebook and set
the privacy settings to the
highest level available. Now
only my Facebook friends can
see my photos.
Im also taking time to re-
view my passwords and se-
curity questions for all my
accounts to ensure theyre
sufciently obscure.
Im sure I wont be perfect,
but Weber advises people,
they dont need to be.
You dont need to have
Department of Justice secu-
rity level. The only thing you
need is to be more secure
than 90 percent of people,
Weber said.
As long as you know a lit-
tle about protecting yourself,
someone who is looking for
a target is going to pass over
you and go to someone else
who is easier.
If you dont want that to be
you, take some simple steps
to help protect yourself, We-
ber said.
Dont use common infor-
mation, such as your birth
date, in creating a password.
Equally important, make
sure your security question
is something only you could
know.
Your password can be as
long and complicated as you
want, but its irrelevant if all
it takes is your pets name to
reset it, Weber said.

What can you do to better protect
your online privacy?
Jonathan Weber, of Marathon
Studios Inc., offers the following
advice:
LImIt the Amount of informa-
tion that you allow to be public on
your Facebook page.
Many people post their birthdays
so that friends can message them
on their special day. If you are
going to do that, at least withhold
the year you were born.
You should also carefully consider
whether to put information about
where you work, or the high
school or college you attended.
That information makes it easier
for people from your past to nd
you, but it also gives thieves valu-
able information they can use to
steal your identity, he said.
Only share what is necessary
and what you are comfortable
with everyone seeing and know-
ing, he said.
Set your FACebook privacy
to control who sees posts of oth-
ers.
Facebook gives you control over
who can see posts and photos
that your friends and family
upload. To do that, go to who can
see posts in your settings and
select just me. That will prevent
others from seeing a post, or any
photo you were tagged in. You
can then review the post and if
you want to share it, you can post
it.
You cant control what others do,
but you can control who sees it
on Facebook, Weber said. I want
to decide what photos Im tagged
in. Thats important if you want
to be in control of your online
persona.
CLoSe down any old social net-
working accounts you no longer
use:
Remember that Myspace account
you created years ago? The site
has changed signicantly since
it was rst launched and is now
primarily a music service. But
everything you posted on it is still
there.
Some people have a Myspace
account they havent logged into
in ve years. They still have all
the old pictures they took during
high school, all their personal
information, their birthday, their
mothers maiden name, he said.
Think of them as digital ghosts
people leave behind If you have
an account you dont use, close
the thing down.
remember thAt anything you
post anywhere on the Internet will
likely be there forever, so choose
carefully.
The main point I want people to
understand is that, whether or
not you can see it right now, in-
formation (about you) is available
online, Weber said. Everything
you put out there will be seen
and judged by other people The
thing about the Internet is, once
you put something on it, it doesnt
come off.

SECTI ON B
timesleader.com
NEW YORK There would be
no happily ever after for Cinder-
ella without her glitzy glass slippers,
so careful attention was paid to the
shoes for the princess-to-bes Broad-
way opening last weekend.
For Rodgers + Hammersteins
Cinderella, which ofcially opened
Sunday at the Broadway Theatre, cos-
tume designer William Ivey Long and
footwear designer Stuart Weitzman
created a pair of pumps so sparkly
they light up the upper balcony,
Weitzman says.
The shoe is its own character in
the show, and it will inspire the dream
for so many other women.
Shoe shopaholics and Carrie Brad-
shaw types surely have been inspired
by the Cinderella fashion fantasy,
muses Weitzman, a 26-year industry
veteran. How could they not? After
all, he says, Cinderella gets the shoes
attering, delicate and powerful all
at once and then gets her Prince
Charming.
When people describe the stunning
bride or the prettiest red-carpet star-
let, the comparison rarely if ever
is made to Sleeping Beauty or Snow
White.
Its always Cinderella, belle of the
ball.
Cinderella is the gold standard for
aspiration, Long agrees. The slip-
pers are so iconic, and they are recog-
nized worldwide.
He says their only rival might be
Dorothys red ruby slippers in The
Wizard of Oz.
Because the shoes are so famous,
the designers had to work with a cer-
tain set of expectations: The shoes
had to be romantic and sexy, have a
sparkly fairy-dust touch and they
had to be seen by everyone in the the-
ater.
Actress Laura Osnes, who plays
Cinderella, couldnt risk shards and
splinters from real glass, so the de-
signers used Plexiglas instead.
Weitzman employed a welded-
construction technique that uses no
screws, normally used in high heels,
so Cinderella could have a seamless
look.
This is the most magical world Ive
been asked to conjure up, says Long,
whose 60-plus show credits include
costumes for Chicago, Hairspray
and The Boy From Oz. Instead of
going all Disney or using the famous
French illustrations that came a cen-
tury before (Cinderella-style folk tales
are hundreds of years older than that)
as inspiration, Long decided to weave
nature with an emphasis on but-
teries and vines into his visual
picture instead of a particular time or
place.
The idea that Cinderella had to
be the most beautiful woman in the
room, with the most gorgeous dress
and coveted shoes, is what guided
him and Weitzman, Long says.
They had to walk a ne line to avoid
Cinderellas slipper: the new, ultimate must-have shoe
Actress Laura Osnes will wear this pair
of glass slippers designed by Stuart
Weitzman in the title role of the Broadway
musical Rodgers + Hammersteins Cinder-
ella on Broadway.

Sure, theyve been downtown.
But since they live in the gym, two
Bloomsburg University wrestlers tell
each other, theyve never really been to

Until September 2011, that is, when
they volunteer to clean ood-soaked
basements and force residents to see
them as more than a couple of college
guys who probably spend a lot of time
at noisy parties.
Afterward, a grateful mom takes her
8-year-old son to see his heroes on the

Kelsey Monahan, a 10th-grade student from Dallas, prefers
mountain vacations yet painted an inviting beach scene.
I was plunk-
ing down a
twenty for
gasoline at the
convenience
store when I
spotted my
buddy alner
surveying the
rack of candy bars.
Decisions, decisions, he
muttered. Ive been in a state
of confusion ever since they
abolished the Mars bar and
then said theyd bring it back.
I hear you, I said. These
fakes just dont cut it. But you
know what you looked like just
now?
ahis this going to be
another trip back to your old
days? he said.
I hardly had time to grin
before thanks to my power
of metaphysical travel we
were making our way down a
wyoming Valley street of some
60 or so years ago.
I knew it, alner said. I
should have just grabbed an al-
mond Joy and kept my mouth
shut. How long are we going to
be here?
Long enough to show you
one of the lost treasures of
western civilization, I replied.
I said you reminded me of
something a kid making a
nickels worth of choices at the
penny candy counter in an early
20th-century neighborhood
grocery store.
This Ive got to see, he nod-
ded. I think you also have the
power of what did you call
it theoretical invisibility so
nobody can actually see us?
You got it, buddy, I said,
ushering alner into a little
corner emporium.
Boy, theyve sure got a lot of
stuff in here, he said. a maga-
zine rack and look at those
comic books. shelves from oor
to ceiling full of canned goods,
bags of sugar and tea. a bread
rack. You could feed your fam-
ily here.
actually this is the kind of
place where most folks did their
shopping. You told the guy at
the counter you wanted a can of
beans, and he reached up with
a grabber stick and snared it for
you. Maybe he even put it on
credit. But step over here and
take a gander at what I really
brought you here for.
alners jaw dropped when he
saw the glass-enclosed counter
full of boxes of little pieces of
candy.
wow, a kids paradise, he
whistled.
I hear you, I said. If youd
been a proper little boy or girl
all week, your mom would
hand you a nickel and down to
the store youd trot, dreaming
of sweet delights.
I like those tiny little brown
bags, he laughed.
Hey, put ve candies in
there and youre king, I said.
Neat stuff, said alner, lean-
ing close up to the glass. I rec-
ognize some of those chocolate
goodies, the ones with peanut
butter inside or with sprinkles
all over them.
I never knew why those
little black hard candies were
called ben hurs, I said, but
darn they were good.
You can still get those
squirrel Nut Zippers, he said,
his eyes widening. Turkish
Taffy whatever happened
to it? Did everybody chew
bubble gum? Look at all the
different kinds. wow licorice
pipes. Omigosh, I cant believe
those big red wax lips or the
enormous teeth. Id love them.
Got a nickel?
sorry, I laughed. The
storekeeper would call the
cops over our 2013 coins.
anyway, I have to go pump
my gas.
within seconds we were back
at the convenience store and
I was heading for the pumps
when alner laughed and
ashed a mouthful of huge wax
teeth.
You didnt, I moaned.
I left my smartphone in
exchange, he said. Youve got
to have some values in life.

Rachel Caudell, an eighth-
grade student from Tunkhan-
nock who likes to read about
dragons, created this mixed-
media portrait.
said, There are only a couple
of occasions when I have people
telling their own stories.
Theres a real value in people
being able to tell their own sto-
ry, but theres a different thera-
peutic value in the validation
that happens when you hear
someone else tell your story.
Theater is built for that, the
ability for people to see their
story framed.
so, you can expect to see
most participants in this full-
stage production playing a
role as they tell someone elses
story.
You also can expect a variety
of music, with the Bloomsburg
Bicentennial Choir singing
numbers by present-day com-
posers Van wagner and Paul
Loomis as well as the late Rob-
ert Lowry, who wrote shall
we Gather at the River? in the
1800s.
He wrote that at the susque-
hanna in Lewisburg. Im count-
ing it as one of our river songs,
stropnicky said.
If youve never experienced
community-centered perfor-
mance, youre in for a treat,
added the director, whose
previous shows in this genre
include the local Letters to
the Editor as well as the inau-
gural Flood stories. Hes also
worked on similar projects in
other states.
Im often invited to work
with communities that are post-
trauma, he said.
surely there was a great deal
of trauma in Bloomsburg where,
because of an ammonia leak,
even the evacuation center was
evacuated.
But there are bright spots
some might see them as
miracles in the tapestry
stropnicky has woven. Just
listen to the testimony of
Eileen Chapman, who ran a
small outreach group called
agape. The group was dwin-
dling, with a dearth of funds
and only 24 volunteers. Then
Chapman learned agape
would be handling flood re-
lief. soon she had upward of
4,200 volunteers and much
to offer the flood victims, in-
cluding sufficient food dona-
tions to serve lunch and din-
ner every day.
But, as Chapmans character
explains in the Flood stories,
Too, one resource in particular
was difcult to nd.
The one thing we needed
was rubber boots. To put on
people to muck out, she says.
wed bought out and given out
all the boots in Columbia and
Montour counties. There were
no more rubber boots to be
had.
at that point in the script,
a woman walks in and says
she has 750 pairs of rubber
boots in her pick-up truck.
she wants to donate them,
as well as the other 750 pairs
that happened to be in a
warehouse she and her hus-
band bought.
we didnt know what to do
with them, the woman tells
Chapman, so we left them un-
til, until, um, until God asked
for boots.

and, if you have a pet of
your own, youll probably
sigh with recognition when
you see Morgan Gilhooleys
rendering in charcoal of how
a little animal can get in the
way as it tries to command
your attention when youre
working.
Most of the art in the Ros-
setti exhibit is a painting or
sketch, from Hannah Cross
Lights of China Town to
Kiera Browns Mare Hair
Days portrait of a horse with
a feather in its owing mane
to Timothy Nerozzis I am

calls to mind Russell Crowes
performance as Javert in Les
Miserables.
But youll find three-di-
mensional work as well, and
may find yourself marveling
at the way Joelle serafin
used wire, fabric and yarn
to represent a girl walking
a dog, while aloysha acker-
man built a wilderness Liv-
ing cabin, complete with a
kettle over the miniature
fire.

working on the giant Broadway
stage, so they decided against
threading lights through the
heel of the shoe or other special
effects.
Weitzman knows how to cre-
ate shoes that light up a room.
For years, he made million-
dollar Oscar shoes, diamond-
covered footwear that a celeb-
rity would wear to the Academy
Awards. He gave that up at the
height of the recession but says
he can do pretty much the same
dazzling look with crystals.
The designer says he could
imagine his typical customer
wearing a version of the Cinder-
ella slipper at a summer party, a
night at the opera or a night on
the town. He adds: It would be
one sexy shoe with cool jeans.
Yes, his Clearly Timeless col-
lection based on the fairy-tale
footwear is being shipped to

Kind of Kin by Rilla Askew;
HarperCollins ($25.99)
I rst encountered the ab-
sorbing, beautifully written
work of Oklahoma native
Rilla Askew in her 2007 novel,
Harpsong. Ive since read her
three earlier books and have
eagerly anticipated a new one.
Whatever topic she tackles, I
have faith that Askew will gen-
tly yet forcefully knead it into
something unforgettable.
Kind of Kin does not disap-
point. In fact, it is so good, so
cogent and poignant and dead-
on perceptive, I would very
much like to make it required
reading for anyone who har-
bors strong opinions on immi-
gration policy, on either side of
the metaphorical border fence.
She sets Kind of Kin in
2008, among a tight-knit South-
east Oklahoma clan thats
cash-poor but rich in extended-
family ties. Askews portray-
als of family spats, nitpicking,
loyalty and love bring the book
much of its laugh-out-loud hu-
mor, even amid unsettling and
daunting circumstances.
The novel opens with a line
that should become an instant
classic Your grandpa is a fel-
on, Aunt Sweet said. A felon
and a Christian. He says hes a
felon because hes a Christian.
Now, what kind of baloney is
that?
The speaker, Georgia
Sweet Brown Kirkendall, is
talking about her father, Bob
Brown, whos in jail for the
crime of allowing 14 illegal
Mexican immigrants to take
temporary shelter in his barn.
Askew structures the novel,
in part, around a 2007 Okla-
homa law that made it a felony
for U.S. citizens to knowingly
provide shelter, transportation
or employment to illegal im-
migrants, and also a follow-up
bill to make English the states
ofcial language.
The author focuses the legis-
lative part of the story around a
ercely ambitious female state
representative whose main con-
cernis howshe looks oncamera.
Grandpa Bob, having joined
forces with a Pentecostal pas-
tor named Jesus (which in it-
self annoys some of the areas
citizens, including Sweet), has
not only gone to jail, he intends
to stay there, refusing bail or
even legal counsel, to make his
point about the unfairness of
the law.
Askew gets right to the inti-
mate heart of the immigration
debate via Sweets interaction
with Juanitos daughter Con-
cepcion. The narrative heats
up with the disappearance of
Sweets 10-year-old nephew
and the revelation of the family
member who turned Bob in.
Askew leaves no doubt
where she comes down on
the immigration issue. But
she does it with such grace,
deftly juggling multiple narra-
tors and viewpoints, that read-
ers cant help but see that the
moral crossroads where the
book stands has far more side
alleys than you might imagine
and the one you ultimately
choose just might not be the
track youd have marked on the
map when rst setting off on
the journey.
Kind of Kin is

Out of Order: Stories From the
History of the Supreme Court
(Random House), by Sandra Day
OConnor
In the old days, lawyers
arguing before the Su-
preme Court could blather
on, uninterrupted, for as
long as 10 days. Nowa-
days, theyre strictly lim-
ited to 30 minutes of argu-
ment time and theyre
deemed lucky if they can
speak more than two sen-
tences before the justices
interject.
The rst chief justice,
John Jay, resigned to be-
come governor of New
York. He didnt think the
Supreme Court would
amount to much.
And until Chief Justice Wil-
liam Howard Taft, a former
president, lobbied for a Supreme
Court building, the nations high-
est court shared ofce space
over the years with merchants,
lower courts and Congress.
For an institution so seem-
ingly steeped in tradition, the
nature of the Supreme Court
has changed and evolved dras-
tically over its lifetime.
Thats the main takeaway
from a new book by former
Justice Sandra Day OConnor,
the rst woman appointed to
the job. Out of Order: Sto-
ries From the History of the
Supreme Court is readable,
accessible and full of riveting
anecdotes, even if the level of
detail may occasionally bore
the casual reader.
OConnor skillfully high-
lights myriad personalities in
the history of the court, from
John McLean, who ran unsuc-
cessfully for president four
times while serving on the
court, to Byron White, who
played professional football for
the Pittsburgh Pirates (now
Steelers) and Detroit Lions
before being appointed to the
bench. (He was also a Rhodes
scholar and served in the
Navy.)
The dubious designation as
one of the worst justices ever
falls on James McReynolds,
who wrote comments like
This makes me sick on col-
leagues circulating opinions.
A self-professed anti-Semite,
McReynolds read a newspaper
during a Jewish colleagues
swearing-in ceremony, and
at his funeral in 1946, not a
single fellow justice was in at-
tendance.
OConnor offers a few juicy
tidbits about life as a Supreme
Court justice. She writes that
each newly appointed justice is
permitted to sit in the historic
chair used by Chief Justice John
Marshall. (Justice Sonia Soto-
mayor said she felt as if history
were coursing through her
when she sat on it.)
Just before taking the bench
during oral arguments, the
justices gather in the robing
room and partake in a judicial
handshake, with each justice
shaking the hand and greeting
every other justice. After morn-
ing arguments wrap up, the
justices have lunch together
and no work talk is allowed.
Out of Order is, at its core,
a compact history book on
the Supreme Court albeit a
more lighthearted, personality-
lled one than you might nd
in a high school classroom.
OConnor may have overes-
timated peoples interest in
reading about every person
nominated to the court, and
she doesnt reveal nearly as
much behind-the-scenes infor-
mation as did Jeffrey Toobin in
his excellent book The Nine.
But Out of Order is a solid ad-
dition to the library of layman
books about the court.

Art deco, music and more in Tulsa
TULSA, Oklahoma
As an Oklahoma trans-
plant a native New
Englander who moved
here for love Ive had
fun getting to know the
Sooner State. I also host
the occasional out-of-
town visitor, so Im al-
ways on the hunt for col-
orful history, interesting
art, quirky shopping and
a great meal. I have found
it all, plus some surpris-
es, in Oklahomas second-
largest city: Tulsa.
Tulsa was initially occu-
pied by Native American
tribes forced to relocate here
from their home territories
by the Indian Removal Act
of 1830. But the modern city
was built from oil money in
the early 20th century. There
was already a railroad station
here serving the cattle indus-
try when oil was discovered
in nearby Red Fork in 1901,
so Tulsa became the logical
place for oilmen from ty-
coons to middlemen to so-
called wildcatters looking for
the next big well to settle
with their families.
What you find here now is
an eclectic mix of new and
old: artsy hangouts that show
off Tulsas thriving hipster
culture as well as well-pre-
served historic gems that har-
ken back to the oil boom of
the early 1900s. As somebody
who seeks out both highbrow
art and underground subcul-
ture, I love this about Tulsa.
DOWNTOWN ARCHITECTURE
At rst glance, downtown
Tulsa can seem quiet and a
little rugged at the edges. But
if you know where to go and
you practice the art of looking
up at the buildings instead of
down at your feet, youll nd a
great display of art deco archi-
tecture and other turn-of-the-
century styles.
Tulsa was a young city
experiencing unprecedented
growth and prosperity in the
Roaring Twenties, just as the
Art Deco movement came
into vogue, according to the
Tulsa Preservation Commis-
sions website. Flush with
oil money, prominent Tulsans
started building the skyscrap-
ers that would spur one of the
pre-eminent Art Deco collec-
tions in the United States.
The most striking example
of Tulsas art deco treasures
might be the Boston Avenue
Methodist Church, 1301 S.
Boston Ave. You cant miss
its 258-foot (79-meter) tow-
er, holding court at the citys
southeastern edge. Somehow
the building, erected in 1929,
manages to look like a church
and a skyscraper all at once.
Straight down Boston Av-
enue from the church sits an-
other beauty: the Philtower
Building, 427 S. Boston Ave.,
which was commissioned
by prominent oilman Waite
Phillips and opened in 1928.
Look for the gargoyles above
the Boston Avenue entrance,
and look way up to see the
colorful tiled roof, a splash of
strange, almost lovably out-
dated hues that floats above
the city as a relic of the past.
Also worth a look are the
Atlas Life Building, 415 S.
Boston Ave.; the Mayo Hotel
(where you can book a room
or grab a gourmet meal), 115
W. Fifth St.; and the Philcade
building, 509 S. Boston Ave.
The building facades are only
the beginning: On a weekday
afternoon, its fun to wander
into the lobbies for stunning
views of ceilings and chande-
liers.

IN SEARCH OF FINE ART
In addition to its architec-
tural gems, Tulsa boasts two
wonderful major art muse-
ums.
Ten minutes northwest
from downtown, Gilcrease
Museum, 1400 N. Gilcrease
Museum Road, houses an ex-
pansive collection of art from
the American West (the larg-
est worldwide, they say) and
an array of Native American
artifacts such as glass-bead-
ed moccasins, feather head-
dresses and leather clothing.
Grown out of the private col-
lection of Tulsa oilman Thomas
Gilcrease, the museum is now
home to more than 10,000
paintings, prints and sculptures
from prominent American art-
ists such as Frederic Remington
and Thomas Moran.
Meanwhile, 10 minutes
south of downtown, the Phil-
brook Museum of Art, 2727
S. Rockford Road, houses an
equally magnificent collec-
tion in what was once the
72-room private villa of Waite
Phillips family. Perhaps even
more impressive than the fine
artwork displayed at this re-
nowned Tulsa attraction is
the sprawling 23-acre (9-hect-
are) garden behind the mu-
seum. I attended a wedding
last summer that embodied
the romantic European spirit
of thisItalian-style estate.
SHOPPING, MUSIC AND FOOD
The shopping in Tulsa, like
everything else, can be fancy
or casual, depending on your
whim. I always like to browse
through the luxury home-
goods store T.A. Lorton, 1343
E. 15th St., on a bustling
street known locally as Cher-
ry Street. Its quite expensive,
but you are guaranteed to
find items youve never seen
before, from indulgent chil-
drens gifts to high-end linens
to unique lamps, tables and
dinnerware.
For a store with lower
prices and an edgier flair, I
recommend Dwelling Spac-
es, 119 S. Detroit Ave., in
the Blue Dome District. The
neighborhood, named after
the blue-painted dome of an
old gas station that originally
served motorists on historic
Route 66, is a small but bus-
tling corner of downtown
that attracts artists and oth-
ers with a bohemian bent.
Dwelling Spaces sells
quirky handmade items such
as T-shirts, decorative pil-
lows and posters that tend
to feature offbeat Oklahoma-
and Tulsa-centric designs. Its
where you can buy all your
Flaming Lips merchandise
(the world-famous rock band
started in Oklahoma) and the
latest copy of the popular
bimonthly broadsheet maga-
zine, This Land Press. Read
it over a freshly brewed cup
of Joe at the coffee bar.
My favorite casual spot for
eating is El Rio Verde, 38 N.
Trenton Ave., an authentic
Mexican restaurant in the
otherwise unassuming region
northeast of downtown. Like
many good hole-in-the-walls,
this place seems a bit shady
from the outside. But step in-
side and order a wet burrito
(served with sauce on top)
and a glass of horchata (a tra-
ditional rice drink) and you
wont care where you are.
For higher-end fare, Ive
been twice blown away by
the new but amazing Juni-
per Restaurant and Martini
Lounge downtown, 324 E.
Third St. Chef Justin Thomp-
son is getting a lot of buzz for
his local-focused, seasonal
menus featuring items such
as bison burgers and pork
belly eggs benedict. I like
the sweet carrot soup and
roasted vegetable and goat
cheese sandwich. And, while
Ive never had a Juniper cock-
tail myself, who wouldnt be
intrigued by concoctions us-
ing house-made green tea
and lemon vodka and roasted
peanut bourbon?
For a great non-alcoholic
pick-me-up, try the Coffee
House on Cherry Street (1502
E. 15th St.). A community oa-
sis for artists and musicians,
full of mismatched furniture
and a constant stream of regu-
lar customers, the cafe makes
all its own baked goods, in-
cluding gluten-free and vegan
items that look just as entic-
ing as their bad-for-you coun-
terparts. I never leave Tulsa
without a slice of peanut but-
ter pie from CHOCS (as the
locals call it).
Tulsa is home to a great mu-
sic scene as well. The historic
Cains Ballroom, built in 1924
and known as the regular per-
forming venue of Bob Wills,
the King of Western Swing,
now draws a steady stream of
big acts across all genres, 423
N. Main St., or bradytheater.
com/. The Brady Theater,
likewise, has been around
since the early 1900s 105
W. Brady St., bradytheater.
com/ and continues to
draw the hottest performers.

Rob Jacobs watches Valley Wests Colin Vest dive on Satur-
day morning at the Wyoming Valley West pool. Jacobs has
been coaching the Valley West and Holy Redeemer divers this
season.
They describe Rob Jacobs as
demanding as a drill sargeant,
as a tough task master, as a gru-
eling guru of the diving boards.
He admits he may be all of
those.
But hes also as likeable to the
kids he coaches as the sound of
a Mr. Softee truck.
Im tough on them, Jacobs
says from the deck of the Wyo-
ming Valley West pool. But
I reward these kids. We have
pizza nights, movie nights with
food, their families come over
my house. Once were outside
of here, we have a good time.
I make my point. Im tough at
practice, but yet, Im there for
them.
Hell be there again one last
time this week, taking four div-
ers - two from Wyoming Valley
West and two more from Holy
Redeemer - to the PIAA Swim-
ming and Diving champion-
ships at Bucknell Universitys
Kinney Natatorium.

Meyers Ryan Krawczeniuk covers his head with a towel in the nal seconds of his teams loss to Trinity
Saturday afternoon at Kings College.
WILKES-BARRE The begin-
ning was so promising Saturday af-
ternoon. Big guns Ryan Krawczeni-
uk and Rasheed Moore scored quick
baskets. Even Dominic Pittman, a
newcomer to the starting lineup,
nailed in a three-pointer.
The ride in the rst round of the
PIAA Class 2A boys basketball play-
offs was certainly going smoothly.
Much more than
the merry-go-
round Trinity was
on prior to the
game.
Then Trinity
found some direc-
tion and Meyers found its season
systematically coming to an end
with a 57-47 loss at Kings College.
District 3 runner-up Trinity (19-
7) advanced to the second round
Wednesday and will play District 12
fourth seed Sayre (18-9). District 2
runner-up Meyers ended its season
at 23-4, losing consecutive games
in a season for the rst time since
dropping two around Christmas in
2009.

PORTLAND, Maine The
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pen-
guins nally managed to get
over the two-goal hump.
The timely spike in offense
was just enough as the Penguins
knocked off the Portland Pirates
4-3 in overtime on Saturday
night at the Cumberland County
Civic Center.
Chad Kolarik scored his sec-
ond of the
game on a pow-
er-play goal 38
seconds into
the extra frame
to lift the Pen-
guins to the
victory.
The game
marked the
rst in nine
that the Pen-
guins managed
to score more
than twice.
Zach Sill
lifted the Pen-
guins into a 3-3
tie in the third
period when
he was credited with a goal after
jamming the puck into the net
after it appeared as if Portland
goaltender Mike Lee had the
puck smothered.
The goal came less than two
minutes after Portland gained
its rst lead of the game. Chris
Brown netted his second goal
of the game in the opening two
minutes of the third on a break-
away. Brown stripped the puck
from Penguins defenseman
Joey Mormina at the Portland
blue line and beat Brad Thies-
sen with a wrister to the blocker
side to push the Pirates to a 3-2
advantage.
The Penguins had drawn rst
blood with a power-play goal
less than eight minutes into the
game. An offensive zone face-
off win by Brian Gibbons sent
the puck back to Dylan Reese,
who played across to Joe Mor-
row. The Penguins defenseman
moved in and beat Lee with a
quick wrist shot to give the visi-
tors a 1-0 lead.
Two minutes later the Pen-
guins made it 2-0. Alex Grant
started the play with a shot from
high in the slot. Lee kicked out
a big rebound to Kolarik and his
shot was tipped home by Jayson
Megna as he was angled into the
Portland goaltender by a Pirates
defender.

terms in the latter stages of the

HERSHEY Two losses Sat-
urday morning in the seminals
of the PIAA Class 3A Champi-
onships meant the Wyoming
Valley Conference would be
left without a state champion
for a sixth straight season since
Hazleton Areas Nate Eachus
and Lake-Lehmans Scott Davis
walked away with golds in 2007.
But that didnt mean Wyo-
ming Valley Wests Kyle Krasav-
age and Coughlins Brad Emer-
ick were going to conclude their
careers that easily.
Both seniors rebounded from
those devastating losses nicely
as they each won their consola-
tion match later in the morning
to solidify themselves a better
state medal. They were joined
by Crestwoods Matt Hammer-
stone as the three state medal-
ists from the WVC.
Emerick and Krasavage
brought home fourth-place med-
als while Hammerstone took
eighth place.
Krasavage, a 126-pounder, fell
to Tyler Walker fromNorth Hills
8-4 in the third-place match. He
still ends his stellar career with
a record of 41-2 on the season
and with 134 career wins, the
most in school history. His state
performance comes after just
one other appearance in the
tournament as a freshman when
he didnt medal. So not many in
the state expected this type of
performance.

PENGUINS SUNDAY
My Hometown
John Hynes
Planning a beach vacation this summer
but cant decide between New Jersey or
Delaware? Try Rhode Island.
If John Hynes wasnt a hockey coach,
hed make a great tourism director for his
home state. Hynes grew up in Warwick, a
city in the middle of Rhode Island known
for its coastline and beaches. And as a
native son, Hynes knows all the places a
visitor to the area needs to see. There are
lighthouses, beaches, marinas with mon-
strous sailboats and yachts, and plenty of
seafood.
Hynes can tell you where to see it all,
and its a big reason why he and his fam-
ily return to the beaches of home every
summer.
Sports are also an important part of
Warwick. The city has produced three ma-
jor league baseball players, an NHL goalie
that paved the way for Martin Brodeur and
another who was a medal-winning Olym-
pian for the U.S. womens ice hockey team.
Now, Hynes can add his name to the list as
a professional ice hockey coach.
This Friday the Penguins played in
nearby Providence, making it a tting time
for Hynes to tell us about growing up in
Warwick.
Penguins head coach John Hynes
Hometown: Warwick, R.I.
Type: Coastal city
Population: 86,672 (2010 Census)
Distance from Wilkes-Barre: 292 miles
Considering Rhode Island is the small-
est state in the country, the same cant
be said of Warwick, can it? Its pretty
big. Its the second-largest city in the state
and there are four public high schools and
two Catholic high schools. Its right in the
middle of the state near Providence and
Narragansett.
Theres quite a few famous sports
gures from Warwick, including a few
pro baseball and hockey players. I
knew Billy Almon (MLB player 1974-1988)
because hes from a big family in Rhode
Island. Rocco Baldelli (MLB player from
2003-2010) was an up-and-coming player
when I was in high school and college.
Sara DaCosta (two-time Olympic medalist
with the womens ice hockey team) went
to the same high school I did, three years
after me. She was one of the rst female
goalies to play D-I high school hockey in
Rhode Island. Shes denitely well-known.
And Chris Terreri (goaltender with the New
Jersey Devils, Sharks, Blackhawks and
Islanders, 1987-2001), when we were grow-
ing up he was a name everyone knew.
Is the 39 miles of coastline a major
feature of Warwick? Yes. We have a
lot of beaches and marinas where the
yachts come in. Lighthouses and plenty of
seafood, too.
Whats the best seafood place that
only the locals know about? Aunt Car-
ries is the place. Clamcakes and chowder.
Thats one theyre known for and thats
where the locals go.
I imagine Warwick has spectacular
scenery along the coast? Its impres-
sive. Just the whole area. You have
Narragansett, Newport, Jamestown - its a
beautiful area in the summer and theres
a lot of lighthouses, such as Point Judith
and Newport. In Jamestown and Newport
you have the tall ships that come in from
all over the world. Theres just a lot to do
and see in the summer and its all acces-
sible. You can take one road and go to the
beaches, the shops in the small towns and
the seafood places.
What did you do outside of hockey
while growing up in Warwick? My family
was big into the beach. We had a beach-
house that wed rent out through our
family and everyone would go there all
summer. We still do that to this day, every
July.
Is Warwick a place youd like to move
back to at some point? Theres always
a possibility because you have family
and friends. Whether we have a chance
to reside there or not, its somewhere we
will always go back to visit. Especially in
the summer. We enjoy it as a family to go
back and have our daughters experience
the beach, seafood and whole eastern
seaboard. Its denitely somewhere wed
visit every year.

Samuelssons style of play a family tradition
Just like dad
T
he last name and number on the jersey are the same, as is the style
of play. Despite the similarities, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins
defenseman Philip Samuelsson said he is different than his father,
former NHL-great Ulf Samuelsson. To a degree.

PETE G. WILCOX/THE TIMES LEADER
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins defenseman Philip Samuelsson is the son of Ulf Samuelsson, who cultivated his
reputation as a erce defenseman on the Pittsburgh Penguins two Stanley Cup teams.
I have some of my dad in me for
sure, but I dont think its quite up to
his level, Samuelsson said. He was
a little more aggressive. Im a little
bit of a toned-down, modernized
version of him because you cant get
away with as much as you could back
then.
The elder Samuelsson spent 16
seasons in the NHL and posted 2,453
penalty minutes in 1,080 games.
He was the face of the Pittsburgh
Penguins defense, playing there for
fve seasons, including both Stanley
Cup championship teams in the early
1990s.
But what Ulf Samuelsson is
remembered for most is his physical
play -- a style that created fear in op-
ponents and plenty of controversy.
Some may say Philip Samuelsson
is headed down the same path. Like
his father, physical play is the key to
his game, but its not the only focus.
Now in his second AHL season,
Samuelsson headed into this week-
ends road trip as the teams leader
in plus-minus with a plus-10. Its
evidence that Samuelsson has made
great strides in his defensive play
since last years rookie season when
he often found himself a healthy
scratch.
He spent the summer working on
his strength and foot speed, and the
improvement has translated into
better play this season, Samuelsson
said. Hes also worked to add a bit of
an offensive element to his game and
has shown a willingness to shoot the
puck that may not have been appar-
ent last season.
But the biggest improvement,
Samuelsson said, has come from
within.
In this organization there are
a lot of good players up and down
the depth chart, and you cant get
frustrated with where youre at, he
said. For me, the main thing is to
keep positive and keep the same even
keel.
Thats not to say physical play is
taking a back seat in Samuelssons
game. He understands its the key to
reaching the NHL and Samuelssons
ability to crunch an opponent may
be what sets him apart from other
blueliners.
Its an attribute that his father
warned him not to stray away from.
Hes always talking to me about
not losing that part of my game. I
know I have to have a sound defen-
sive game, but at the same time I
dont want to be glued on the blue-
line and not do anything. The main
thing is for me to be physical and
solid defensively.
Head coach John Hynes is glad
that Samuelsson is aware that his
physicality is the key to his game.
He acknowledged that being a well-
rounded player is also important, but
not at the expense of giving up the
one attribute that sets a player apart.
To make it to the NHL you better
play to what your strengths are,
Hynes said. In Philips case its
defending and being tough to play
against. Being a well-rounded player
is important, but there has to be one
element in your game thats desirable
at the NHL level.
Having physical play as a strength
can be tricky for a young player.
Avoiding the dirty hits is imperative,
but there has to be enough of an edge
to still create a bit of fear.
Its a line that the elder Samu-
elsson crossed at times, but there
was always plenty of fear when an
opponent ventured into his defensive
zone.
You have to be right on that edge
of clean and dirty without getting
caught or putting someone else in
danger, the younger Samuelsson
said. My dad thinks Ive come a long
way since last year, and I have to
agree with him.
Its been 18 years since a Samu-
elsson nameplate with the number
fve graced the back of a Pittsburgh
Jersey. Philip hopes his turn to renew
the family tradition is on the horizon.
Its always been my dream to carry
it to the NHL, and for that to be in
Pittsburgh would be very special, he
said. Im looking forward to having
that happen someday soon.

Griner leads Baylor
to win over Texas
The Associated Press
DALLAS (AP) Brittney
Griner had 19 points, 13 re-
bounds and a career best nine
assists, and No. 1 Baylor built a
quick 25-point lead in an 80-47
victory against Kansas State in
the quarternals of the Big 12
womens tournament Saturday.
Griners effort came ve days
after she scored a Big 12-record
50 points in a win over the Wild-
cats in her nal regular-season
home game.
Kansas State (15-17) was
within three well into the sec-
ond half of last weekends loss in
Waco, Texas, but this time the
Wildcats were down 21-3 just 7
minutes in when coach Deb Pat-
terson called her third timeout.
Destiny Williams had 20
points to lead the Lady Bears
(30-1), who clinched their third
straight season with at least 30
wins.
Brittany Chambers led Kan-

for the top-seeded Blue Devils
(29-2), who never trailed yet
had a tough ght all day with
the fourth-seeded Seminoles
(22-9). The teams were tied
with about 5 minutes left before
Peters basket started Dukes
go-ahead push.
Peters, a 6-foot-3 junior, had a
huge performance after manag-
ing just ve points and three
rebounds in Fridays quarter-
nals against North Carolina
State. She nished 8-for-14 from
the oor and had six offensive
rebounds.
Chelsea Davis scored 17

points for the third-seeded Tar
Heels (28-5).
They rallied from a 14-point
halftime decit the second-
biggest comeback in the history
of the tournament by shoot-
ing 50 percent in the second
half and will face No. 6 Duke in
the title game Sunday.
Alyssa Thomas had 26 points,
12 rebounds and nished three
assists shy of a second straight
triple-double for the second-
seeded Terrapins (24-7), and
Katie Rutans 3-pointer with
2:45 left tied it at 60.
Coleman responded by hit-
ting jumpers on the next two
possessions, and Rufn-Pratt
followed with four straight free
throws to propel the Tar Heels
to their league-record 18th
berth in the title game but rst
since 2008.

who were unbeaten in confer-
ence play this season, shot 60
percent (18 of 30) in the rst
half for a 43-21 lead over the
Colonials (14-16), who de-
feated Richmond in the opening
round.
Hoover scored 11 points in
the rst half and Samantha
MacKay had 10 of her 12 points
for the Flyers, who beat George
Washington 80-52 in their only

Green Bay never trailed and

lead. Milwaukee couldnt close
the gap to single digits after
that point.
Ashley Greene, with 20
points, was the only player in
double gures for the Panthers

the second half, No. 5 George-
town used stiing defense
to close its Big East rivalry
against No. 17 Syracuse with
a 61-39 victory Saturday that
gave the Hoyas the regular-
season conference title.
Georgetown sent Syracuse
off to the Atlantic Coast
Conference with the Oranges
lowest-scoring Big East game.
Porter nished with 10
points, but the national player
of the year candidate contrib-
uted in plenty of other ways, as
usual, with eight rebounds and
seven assists.
Markel Starks scored 19, and
freshman DVauntes Smith-
Rivera had 15 points, ve re-
bounds and ve assists for the
Hoyas (24-5, 14-4), who will be

title with a victory over No. 24
Notre Dame.
Peyton Siva added 13 points
and ve assists in his nal
home game for the Cardinals
(26-5, 14-4 Big East), who
nished tied for rst place with
Georgetown and Marquette.
Louisville receives a bye into
Thursdays quarternals at the
Big East tournament, where
coach Rick Pitinos team will
defend its 2012 title.
Dieng and Siva were hon-
ored before the game as part of
Louisvilles senior day fes-
tivities. Dieng, a junior center
from Senegal, is expected to
enter the NBA draft after the
season.
Garrick Sherman led Notre
Dame (23-8, 11-7) with 14
points. The Fighting Irish
will next play Wednesday in
the conference tournament at
Madison Square Garden.
Louisville shot 67 percent
(16 of 24) for its best rst half

held the Cardinals without a
eld goal for nearly six min-
utes early in the second half
to cut the lead to 45-40 on Pat

12:56 left.
Oklahoma State 76,
Kansas St. 70

points, Marcus Smart added
21 and No. 13 Oklahoma State
hurt No. 9 Kansas States
chances to win the Big 12
championship by beating the

The Wildcats (25-6, 14-4 Big
12) came into the day tied with
rival Kansas for the conference
lead, but were left needing the

Eight.

LEXINGTON, Ky. Julius

of No. 11 Florida that revived
its NCAA tournament pros-
pects.
Archie Goodwins 16 points
led the way in a game that
Wildcats coach John Calipari
described Friday as do or
die for his defending national
champions. Kentucky needed
a signature win to maintain
its hopes for an NCAA tourna-
ment bid.
Marquette 69,
St. Johns 67
NEW YORK Vander
Blues driving shot fell through
the rim as the overtime buzzer
sounded, giving No. 15 Mar-
quette a victory over St. Johns
at Madison Square Garden,
and a share of the Big East
regular season championship,
their rst title since joining the
conference in 2005-06.
Blue had 16 points, includ-
ing four of Marquettes six in
overtime, for the Golden Ea-
gles (23-7, 14-4 Big East), who
nished second in the Big East
last season and were picked
seventh in the preseason con-
ference poll in November. This

nament with a rout over rival
Arizona State.
A late-season slide left
Arizona (24-6, 12-6 Pac-12)
needing a win or some help to
avoid playing next Wednesday
in the conference tournament.
The Wildcats took care of it
themselves, building a 15-point
lead in the rst half and an-
swering a big second-half run
by the Sun Devils with one of
their own.

Georgetown guard Markel Starks cuts down the net after
Georgetown beat Syracuse 61-39 in an NCAA basketball game
to win the Big East Conference regular-season title on Saturday
in Washington.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. It
began on the last day of De-
cember, when Michigan State
showed up at Minnesotas
Williams Arena on a six-game
winning streak and left with a
13-point loss.
Along the way, Tyler Griffey
slipped past Indiana, Ben Brust
stunned Michigan and Trey
Burke stole the show against
Michigan State.
Each week brought new dra-
ma, and now, one of the most
exhilarating Big Ten races in
recent memory will nally end
in a most appropriate way.
Indiana can clinch an out-
right championship on Sunday
with a win at Michigan, but if
the Wolverines prevail, as many
as four teams could share the
title.
It will be a tting conclu-
sion after the Big Tens heavy-
weights went through 2
months of emotional peaks and
valleys to reach this last day.
Do I reect on how fortu-
nate I am to coach at this level
against these type of players?
Yes. Its an opportunity that ev-
ery coach would like to have,
Michigan coach John Beilein
said. I do try to take a moment
in the games, and just look up
at the top of the stadium and
see how its packed to the last
row.
The Big Ten had three teams
in the APs preseason top ve.
Nowthere are four in the top 14
and 14th-ranked Ohio State
has a chance to move up after
beating No. 2 Indiana on Tues-
day night.
Despite that loss, the Hoo-
siers still lead the league by a
game over Michigan, Michi-
gan State and Ohio State. That
means the Spartans and Buck-
eyes are both in an unusual
situation: They need to hope
Michigan wins.
Its my dream that this pro-
gram is to the point where
every year in the last week
we still have a mathematical
chance to win a championship,
Michigan State coach Tom Izzo
said after his team stayed in
the race Thursday night with
a win over Wisconsin. What
happens, happens. I mean that
because we had our chance to
do it.
If it werent for Wisconsins
home loss to Purdue last week-
end, an unbelievable ve-way
tie at the top would be a possi-
bility but the four teams still
in the hunt can also look back
on a slip-up or two that could
have perhaps been avoided.
Michigan lost to Penn State
late last month it was the
rst conference win of the
season for the Nittany Lions.
Indiana let Griffey sneak in for
a last-second layup in Illinois
74-72 win over the Hoosiers in
early February.
Ohio State was blown out by
that same Illinois team. Michi-
gan State was in an early hole
because of that 76-63 loss at
Minnesota.
But all four teams were able
to recover. Burkes steal and
dunk in the nal minute lifted
Michigan over Michigan State.
The fearless point guard has
carried the Wolverines at times,
emerging as one of the front-
runners for national player of
the year. His main competition
may be another Big Ten star
Indianas Victor Oladipo.
The race for Big Ten player of
the year may be down to those
two, but theres little doubt
about who made the shot of the
year. Wisconsin trailed Michi-
gan by three on Feb. 9 when
Brust sent the game into over-
time with a buzzer-beater from
near midcourt. The Badgers
went on to win.
Wisconsin fell out of the
race Thursday, losing 58-43 at
Michigan State. Now the Spar-
tans (23-7, 12-5 Big Ten) need
to hope Michigan beats Indiana
on Sunday.
If that happens, No. 10 Mich-
igan State can tie for the title
by beating Northwestern in a
game that starts at 6 p.m. local
time.
Ohio State (22-7, 12-5) hosts
Illinois at 12:30. Indiana and
Michigan start at 4.
I just want to play well on
Sunday. That is where our fo-
cus is completely, Ohio State
coach Thad Matta said. We
have one more game to play to
end the regular season and that
is the only thing that is on my
mind and hopefully the only
thing on our players minds.
The seventh-ranked Wolver-
ines (25-5, 12-5) rallied past
Purdue on Wednesday night.
They now carry not only
their own title hopes, but those
of the rival Buckeyes and Spar-
tans.

Meyers careers by scoring 13
points each.
When I think back to what
these two boys have done,
Meyers coach Pat Toole said.
Rasheed and Ryan, youre talk-
ing about two kids that won
90 games in their high school
careers, didnt lose a league
game in four years, both scored
over 1,000 points. Ive been re-
ally lucky to coach them for four
years.
Moore drained a pair of free
throws for a 9-2 lead less than
three minutes into the game.
Trinity, though, regrouped and
outscored the Mohawks 29-15
the rest of the rst half for a 31-
24 lead at the break.
We were trying to get our
legs. We got a little bit de-
layed, said Trinity coach Larry
Kostelac, whose team had to
endure a bus ride of over 2 1/2
hours. Then when we got here,
we were trying to nd out where
to unload the bus. We drove
around 10 minutes around that
damn block. No one was around,
theres no parking lot.
Finally, I told the guy Youre
in a one-lane lane, a one-way
road, just pull over to the left,
were walking in.
The Shamrocks stepped on
the gas early in the third quar-
ter, using a 6-0 burst for their
rst double-digit lead of the
game. The run came after Kraw-
czeniuk recorded a three-point
play to start the quarter, moving
Meyers within 31-27.
The Mohawks chopped the
decit to single digits three
times, but Trinity responded to
each to pump its advantage to
10 or more.
You expend so much energy
just getting to that, Toole said.
Even when we trapped them,
its hard to ask with our limited
bench for the guys to play with
that much energy.
Meyers was within 51-43 with
1:26 to play when Krawczeniuk
hit a free throw. But he fouled
out on his second attempt, and
four consecutive free throws by
Trinity sealed the victory.
Trinity was paced by Domi-
nick Antonelli, whose father was
a basketball star at Nanticoke.
Antonelli scored a game-high 22
points, one of three Shamrocks
in double gures. The victory
also moved Kostelac one shy
of 600 for his coaching career.
Trinity was also strong on the
boards with a 33-22 rebounding
edge.

PI AA WRESTL I NG
ED BOARDMAN/FOR THE TIMES LEADER
Wyoming Areas Andy Schutz (rear) competes in a seminal bout in Hershey Saturday.
Schutz ends career on winning note
Lake-Lehmans Austin Harry took a fourth-place medal.
HERSHEY If a wrestler
wins the last match of his ca-
reer, he will have lasting good
memories.
So even though Andy
Schutz didnt reach the ulti-
mate goal of a state gold over
the weekend at the PIAA Class
2A Championships, he left
with a very good consolation
prize: a victory in his nal en-
counter.
The Wyoming Area
126-pounder won his seventh-
place match on Saturday af-
ternoon at the Giant Center
defeating Saegertowns Nick
Monico, 3-0 in the nal bout of
his career.
That was the objective,
said Schutz, who plans on
wrestling in college but hasnt
made any commitments yet.
Its hard to wrestleback, but I
denitely didnt want to go out
with a loss so gured I might
as well nish while Im here.
Schutz had a rivalry over
the last few years with Lake-
Lehmans Austin Harry, who
was the only other District
2 wrestler in Class 2A to
claim a state medal. Harry, a
132-pounder, placed fourth,
losing to Hanovers Ian Brown
5-0 in the third-place match.
Schutz got his points work-
ing the tilt in the second pe-
riod and getting three for the
nearfall. He rode out Monico
the rest of the period. And in
the third period he ended in
the bottom position not be-
ing able to escape, but didnt
get turned either. He became
the rst state medalist at Wyo-
ming Area since 1996 when
Don Morgan also won the
nal match of his career tak-
ing third. Schutz also ends his
career with the most wins in
school history with 125.
I guess the hard work is
just paying off, Schutz said.
I know thats my answer for
everything but thats all I can
really say about it.
Harry meanwhile, dropped
the nal match of his junior
season. But he did improve on
last years eighth-place show-
ing after not medaling as a
freshman. He was hampered
by an ankle injury he reaggre-
vated during his match with
Brown after being taken down
in the rst period. He couldnt
escape from the bottom posi-
tion in the second period, then
allowed an escape and another
takedown in the third period.
Denitely not what I
wanted, but fourth place is
denitely better than eighth
and denitely better than not
placing at all, said Harry,
who is Lehmans rst consecu-
tive state medalist since Matt
Dragon in 2004 and 2005. So
Im improving each year and
hopefully next year it will be
even better.
Working in Harrys favor for
next season is that Keystone
Oaks Nick Zanetta, who has
been Harrys nemesis over the
last two seasons with victo-
ries in the quarters, will have
graduated. Zanetta nished
second on Saturday, losing to
now two-time state champ Ja-
son Nolf from Kittaning. Nolf
and Brown, though, are un-
derclassmen and will be back
next season.
I just have to work harder
than them over the summer
to improve, the Black Knight
said. The goal is to nish odd
(rst, third, fth, seventh) but
Im top four in the state and
I cant really complain about
that. A lot of people cant say
theyve ever done that. I still
have another year and fourth
place is pretty good.

rst round Saturday at William-
sport High.
We took a couple of steps
late in the game, Royals coach
Chris Parker said. When we
needed a stop, we got it. After
they shot, we got the rebound.
We didnt give them second-
chance opportunities. And Alex-
is Lewis had that huge steal to
give us the lead.
We didnt play our best game,
but we gutted it out.
With the win, Holy Redeemer
(21-7) advances to the second
round Wednesday against Dis-
trict 1 champion Villa Maria,
at a site and time to be deter-
mined. Athens ends its season
21-5, though the Wildcats put a
scare into the Royals.
But the nish wasnt without
drama and a ashback to
nightmares past.
It was like the game against
Nanticoke in our league, Wil-
son said. They hit a three-point-
er with one second left to send
that game (Jan. 30) to overtime
(which Redeemer won).
There was no need for extra
time Saturday, even though
there were ve ties and seven
lead changes most of them in
the nal quarter.
But when Wilson grabbed the
nal rebound, the Royals came
off the bench to celebrate their
victory. The ofcials, however,
had awarded a timeout to Park-
er with one second left, forcing
Redeemer to run an inbounds
play.
Coach had told us not to foul,
and denitely not to give them
an and-one opportunity, Wilson
said of the nal shot by Athens.
He also said to make sure they
didnt get off a three.
After a slow start by both
teams, the Royals rattled off
nine consecutive points for an
early 9-2 edge. Included in that
run was two fouls against Ath-
ens top defender, Rachel Don-
nelly, sending her to the bench
for the rest of the half.
But the Wildcats clawed back,
using uncontested threes to
knot the game at 11 in the sec-
ond quarter. Athens enjoyed a
couple of other easy baskets to
stay within a shot, 18-16, at half-
time.
A quicksand pace continued
into the second half, where for
all their efforts, the Royals could
not put Athens away. Wilson hit
a three, Sara Altemose made
a jumper from the corner and
Lewis converted a couple of la-
yups to give Redeemer a 25-18
lead three minutes into the sec-
ond half. Athens then lulled the
Royals to sleep with its deliber-
ate pace and posted 12 of the
next 15 points to take the lead
30-28 a minute into the fourth.
Weve been consistently re-
minding them that basketball
is a game of runs, Parker said.
Youve got to be able to ght
through the down times and re-
group. We did tonight.
The teams traded buckets un-
til Lewis steal with 34 seconds
left. She got her right hand be-
tween the ball and Stoppers
hand mid-dribble, took one drib-
ble herself and put up an uncon-
tested layup to give Redeemer a
39-38 lead. Royals junior Alyssa
Platko then batted a pass by
Athens Christin Dunkling to
Lawson, who was fouled with
12 seconds remaining.
Lewis had 17 points, 12 re-
bounds and six steals for Re-
deemer. Platko had six rebounds
and Lawson posted a game-high
ve assists. The Royals forced
23 turnovers, 14 via steals, and
held a 32-27 rebounding edge.
Winning at states, this feels
really good, Wilson said. Espe-
cially with our team play, every-
one was a part of this.
Dunkling led Athens with six
boards.

top three in the state, and even
brought emotions out of head
coach Drew Feldman.
He wanted top three at states
for four years now. I wanted him
to achieve every goal, and to be
four points away, its hard to ac-
cept right now, Feldman said.
Its (the emotions are) a com-
bination (of joy and sorrow). Im
a little disappointed he leaves. It
was such a great ride but I re-
ally wanted him to get top three
for his sake.
Im so proud of him. He set
every record in our school, so
no complaints.
Emerick also wrestled in the
third-place bout going against
Kiski Areas Shane Kuhn in a re-
match of a bout held in the con-
solation round last season. The
Crusaders 285-pounder, who
would have loved becoming the
rst state champion in school
history, settled for fourth place.
He concludes his season with
a record of 39-3 and 108 career
wins after the 3-0 loss to Kuhn.
Its been a good (career). Ive
been wrestling well throughout
my high school career. Cant ask
for anything else, Emerick said.
I wish I placed a little higher.
But you cant dwell on that thats
water under the bridge right
now. Now Im just looking for-
ward to taking a little break and
get back lifting to make sure I
get stronger and denitely look
forward to college.
Krasavage was hit with his
rst loss of the season Saturday
morning dropping a 7-3 deci-
sion to two-time champion and
three-time state nalist Connor
Schram from Canon-McMillan
in the semis. But losing to the
state champion softened the
blow. Krasavage couldnt get
anything going in the loss trail-
ing 5-0 in the second period be-
fore getting an escape. He also
got an escape point in the third
period to go along with a point
for a stalling called on Schram.
My experience of losing
in the semis and going out, I
wasnt going to let that happen
to him since third was so close
within reach, Feldman said.
Emerick couldnt overcome
Erie Central Techs Andrew
Welton in the semis, losing 3-0.
He was in the down position in
the second period, was held to
the mat the entire period and
wasnt the same after that. The
match was scoreless after two
periods and in the third Welton
managed an escape and a take-
down for the win.
Hammerstone, Crestwoods
145-pounder, dropped his third-
round consolation match Satur-
day morning to fall into the sev-
enth-place match. In that bout,
he lost 3-2 to Mason Bentzel from
Spring Grove and took eighth.
The senior almost pulled off
another dramatic victory with
a takedown at the end of the
match, but it wasnt awarded.
He became the rst medalist at
Crestwood since Jake OHara in
2009. Hammerstones season
concludes with a mark of 34-9
and 108 career wins.
I was on the wrong end of
that one nally, Hammerstone
said about the near victory. I
gave it my last shot at the end.
I thought it was close. But Ive
always been taught not to let it
come down to that. Not to let it
in the refs hands. Its only my
fault that happened, but what
are you gonna do?
It was a great experience.
Eighth place isnt exactly where
I wanted to be here, but Ill take
it and Ill take it in stride and
move on and try to reach bigger
and better things in college.

TAMPA, Fla. Saying he
made the decision before arriv-
ing at spring training, Mariano
Rivera announced Saturday that
he will retire at the end of the
season and hopes to cap his re-
cord-setting career by winning
another World Series with the
New York Yankees.
Rivera was surrounded by
family and teammates when he
made the announcement during
a news conference at the teams
complex.
The 43-year-old has a clear vi-
sion of how he wants his career
to end.
The last game I hope will be
throwing the last pitch in the
World Series, he said. Win-
ning the World Series, that
would be my ambition.
With the entire Yankees team
looking on including long-
time teammates Derek Jeter
and Andy Pettitte Rivera said
he knew the time was right for
his decision.
I have just a few bullets left,
he said.
He then made his rst game
appearance since April 30,
throwing a 1-2-3 fth inning
against Atlanta. Looking like his
overpowering self of old, Rivera
retired Dan Uggla on a popup to
second, then threw called third
strikes past Juan Francisco and
Chris Johnson.
Rivera holds the career saves
record with 608 and has helped
the Yankees win ve World Se-
ries titles. He is regarded as
the greatest closer of all time,
whether hes throwing his cut
fastball in the regular season or
postseason.
We just have a special rela-
tionship, Pettitte said. I dont
know how to explain it. Obvi-
ously, when you spent as much
time together after as many
years as weve been together,
you just kind of grow a little
closer to one another than you
would with other teammates.
Hes always been there for me.
Rivera missed most of last
year after tearing his right knee
while shagging yballs during
batting practice in early May.
Rivera said he would have re-
tired at the end of last season if
he had not gotten hurt.
I didnt want to leave like
that, he said. I felt like I want-
ed to give everything.
He also said he wanted to give
Yankees fans around the major
leagues a chance to see him one
more time, knowing this will be
the end.
Im actually appreciative
that we get to enjoy him for one
more year, Yankees manager
Joe Girardi said. I think hes
prepared to go 100 percent. I
think hell have a good year. Its
been a real treat for me. I was
relaxed when he came into the
game as a catcher, and Im re-
laxed when he comes into the
game as a manager, so thats
probably about the highest com-
pliment you can pay a closer.
Riveras wife and two children
were by his side for the news
conference. He began by play-
fully thanking the Yankees for
giving him a new contract for
two additional years through
2015 which would break a
team policy of not negotiating
new deals before the old ones
expire.
Its not too easy when you
come to a decision like this, Ri-
vera said, turning serious. Af-
ter this year, I will be retired.
Now youre hearing it from me.
Its ofcial now.
While others have proclaimed
him the best closer in baseball
history, Rivera wouldnt put that
label on himself.
I dont feel myself, the great-
est of all time. Im a team play-
er, he said. I would love to be
remembered as a player who
was always there for others.
Yankees general Brian Cash-
man said he knew Riveras in-
tention was to retire last season.
Hes irreplaceable, Cash-
man said. He is the greatest of
all-time. Ive known him since
he was in the minor leagues,
and hes never changed once.
You see a lot of players that get
a lot of money, become famous
and change over time. He hasnt
changed a bit. Ive got more re-
spect for him as a player and
person because of that.
Hall of Fame reliever Goose
Gossage, a Yankees guest in-
structor, called Rivera not only
a great pitcher, but as great a
person. Gossage noted that
the role of closer has gone from
multiple innings to basically a
one-inning job.
Mo is as good as anybody
thats ever done it, Gossage
said. The last thing I want to
do is take anything away from
this guy, he is great. But I would
throw out the challenge that, do
what we did and well compare
apples to apples. We didnt get
to pitch just one inning, but I
believe today is the way they
should be used.
Former Yankees catcher Jorge
Posada said there is only one
Mariano Rivera.
There wont be another per-
son who will come along and do
what he did, Posada said in a
statement. Im so happy he is
going out on his terms. Now ev-
ery time he steps into a ballpark
this year, teams and fans can
celebrate and appreciate what
he has meant to this great game
we play.

Fierce brawl
mars WBC
victory for
Canadians
PHOENIX A erce brawl
that saw Alfredo Aceves and
several players throw nasty
punches erupted Saturday in
the ninth inning of Canadas
10-3 romp over Mexico in the
World Baseball Classic in a
melee that also involved fans.
The ghts broke out after
Canadas Rene Tosoni was hit
by a pitch from Arnold Leon
with Canada leading 9-3 at
Chase Field, home of the Ari-
zona Diamondbacks. It turned
into a wild scene, as chaotic as
any on a major league eld in
recent years.
Even when the sticuffs
ended, a full water bottle
thrown from the crowd struck
the face of a Canadian coach.
Canada shortstop Cale Iorg
angrily threw the bottle back
into the crowd.
Several police ofcers came
onto the eld trying to restore
order, and there were a few
skirmishes in the seats. Seven
players were ejected.
There had already been
several hard plays on the bases
when things got out of hand.
Shortly before Tosoni was a hit,
a bunt single by Canada seemed
to heighten the tension a
tiebreaker in the WBC relies
heavily on scoring runs, and the
Canadians were trying to pad
their margin.
Adrian Gonzalez, Justin
Morneau and Joey Votto were
among the big-name, high-
priced stars playing in the
game. The ght was exactly the
kind of thing that must have
made major league managers
and general managers cringe at
the thought of one of their play-
ers getting hurt in such a fracas.

More bad
news for
Santana
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. The
New York Mets hoped Johan
Santana might pitch in a spring
training game next week, which
would have given him an out-
side chance to start on Opening
Day as originally planned. But
after Santana felt fatigue in his
shoulder Saturday, he did not
participate in workouts with
the rest of the team, yet another
sign that the two-time Cy Young
Award winner could begin the
season on the disabled list.
Due to the fact hes been
throwing and throwing, there
might be a little fatigue in there,
and thats why I told him today
stay in there and make sure to
do some stuff to work on your
shoulder, manager Terry Col-
lins said.
Collins said Santana felt no
new discomfort in his shoulder.
But while the rest of his team-
mates participated in workouts
outdoors, Santana spent the day
indoors to do shoulder exercises
to bolster strength and exibil-
ity. Pitching coach Dan Warthen
said he approached Santana
about taking charge of his own
rehab schedule so long as he
agreed not to risk a major set-
back by rushing the process.
I nally went to him and
said you know, if were pushing
things, then lets go ahead and
go at your pace, Warthen said.
Dont look at my chart. You
tell me what you want.
The grind of pitching 117 in-
nings before his shutdown last
season prompted Santana to
cut back on his offseason throw-
ing. After devoting his previ-
ous winters enduring rigorous
rehab, the two-time Cy Young
Award winner hoped the time
off would serve his body well.
Instead, Santana surprised
team ofcials when he arrived
at camp unprepared to begin
normal workouts. After two
bullpen sessions, in which
Santana lacked strength in his
shoulder, the Mets halted his

questioned the change in his off-
season routine.
The comments last week
irked Santana, who threw an
unscheduled bullpen session
last Sunday, his attempt to quell
any doubts about his physical
condition. Warthen said San-
tana bounced back strong from
the mound session, which the
followed with a light throwing
session on Wednesday. Santana,
who has yet to address the situ-
ation publicly, had also contin-
ued a long toss program.
Until Saturday, all of his work
appeared to put him in line for
game action.

and this past year in a dual
role while also coaching Holy
Redeemers divers, Jacobs will
oat off into retirement.
Well, not exactly.
Jacobs still plans to conduct
his summer diving program at
the Valley West pool - which at-
tracts athletes fromgrade school
to high school from throughout
Northeastern Pennsylvania and
beyond. And if some school
should call him to give a strug-
gling diver some advice, Ill be
glad to, Jacobs said.
But for the most part, Jacobs
will leave behind all the success
hes had coaching divers in the
high school pool for nearly two
decades as a head coach and as-
sistant and watch his son, Rob-
bie Jacobs, begin competing as
a swimmer at the college level
next year.
Its been a long ride. Ive en-
joyed it, Jacobs, 45, said. Im
going to miss it, but I know its
time. Ive missed a lot of things
with my own son. Ive raised
everybodys sons except my
own. Fortunately, Ive been able
to see him swim here in high
school. But his T-ball games, his
(Kingston) Huskies (mini) foot-
ball games, I wasnt able to be
there. Because I was here.
His collegiate meets, I dont
want to miss those things.
The Spartans will surely miss
Jacobs.
Its sad to see that hes leav-
ing after so many years, said
Valley West senior Collin Vest,
a District 2 record-holder and
four-time district champ who
will compete in his fourth
straight state tournament under
Jacobs this week. He denitely
has inuenced me the most
out of anybody in my diving
career, even in life in general.
He doesnt sugar-coat anything.
And life isnt going to sugar-coat
anything.
Hes taught me to deal with
things, push through them and
give my best at all times.
Vest isnt the only diver whos
made dramatic strides following
the directions of Jacobs.
Five years ago, Billy Williams
broke the Valley West diving
record Jacobs held for 23 years.
Vests sister, Vanessa, also won a
district championship for Valley
West. And even divers from oth-
er schools, such as current Rut-
gers gymnast and former Dallas
diving star Sara Skammer - who
nished sixth in the state as a
freshman - came through the
summer programJacobs runs to
nd immedate high school suc-
cess.
Hes had a lot of success,
period, Valley West swimming
coach Frank Tribendis said.
Kelsey Williams thinks she
knows why.
He knows how the mind of
a diver thinks, Williams said.
Theres a lot of psychological
things to overcome to be a diver.
He knows how to help you over-
come your fears.
The Redeemer senior got an
extended stint of rst-hand ex-
perience with that this year.
When Holy Redeemer lost its
former diving coach to a college
job before the start of the 2012-
13 season, Jacobs didnt hesitate
to lend a helping hand with the
approval of Royals coach Maura
Pawlenok.
I said to Maura, Well all
practice together, well work
together as a team, as one,
Jacobs said. They pushed each
other, theyre like a family.
Guided by Jacobs, Kelsey Wil-
liams pushed to the forefront
during her senior year, setting
new school and pool records
almost weekly throughout the
season, then winning the Dis-
trict 2 Class 2A girls diving
championship while earning her
rst trip to the state champion-
ships.
But she needed some help to
get there.
Oh yes, agreed Kelsey Wil-
liams, who will be joined at
states by her sophomore sister-
a third-place nisher at districts.
There were many dives I was
terried of, like the 2 1/2-front
somersault. I had problems with
it in the past. I was just really,
really afraid of it. He (Jacobs)
taught me the only way out is
through, to get over your fears.
I couldnt have done nearly
as good had he not been my
coach.
Most of the divers who will
give Jacobs his nal ride to
states echo that sentiment.
I dont think Id be the diver
I am without him, said Valley
Wests District 2 Class 3A girls
champion Karina Zabresky. He
was a really good coach. He
taught me not to give up.
Jacobs did that with tough
love.
He wants you to do your best
and he wants you to do the dives
right, Zabresky said.
He pushes so hard, said Col-
lin Vest, who pushed aside the
district diving record as a junior
last season with a score of 534.
He doesnt let you take it easy
at practice at all. If he believes
you can do a dive, hes going to
push you.
Hes probably one of the
hardest coaches around.
Jacobs admits that.
But for him, and his divers,
the reward comes when they
walk up to the medal stand at
districts and states.
Thats my job as a coach,
Jacobs said. Im not here to be
a buddy. There were days when
every single one of them cant
stand me. But Im here to take
you to things you dont expect
to get.
They will get up on the diving
board one more time at states
this week, hoping to take their in-
structor on a nal, magical ride.
Im just pushing as hard as I
can to do my best, Collin Vest
said, to make sure he enjoys it
and I enjoy it.

Tiger Woods has recorded 24 birdies a career-best through
three rounds to lead the eld at the Cadillac Championship
golf tournament on Saturday in Doral, Fla.
DORAL, Fla. Tiger Woods
hit a tee shot that got stuck in a
palm tree. Thats about the only
thing that didnt fall his way Sat-
urday in the Cadillac Champion-
ship.
Woods made seven more
birdies on the Blue Monster at
Doral, the last one from 15 feet
on the 18th hole that gave him a
5-under 67 and a four-shot lead
over Graeme McDowell head-
ing into the nal round.
Woods has made 24 birdies
and taken only 74 putts through
three rounds, both personal
bests in his PGA Tour career.
It put him in great position to
win his 17th career World Golf
Championship, and his rst
since 2009.
He has a 39-2 record when he
has the outright lead going into
the nal round on the PGATour.
The only time he has ever lost
a lead of more than two shots
was in 2010 against an 18-man
eld at the Chevron World Chal-
lenge, when McDowell beat him
in a playoff.
McDowell was six shots out
of the lead with three holes to
play when he tried to keep it
close. His drive on the 16th
nished just over the green,
and he chipped in for eagle. He
picked up another shot on the
17th when Woods tee shot em-
bedded high into the trunk of
a palm tree. Once his ball was
identied, he took a penalty
drop and made bogey.
The lead was down to three
shots, but not for long.
After I made birdie on 15, I
was looking pretty good with a
six-shot lead, and with a driv-
able par 4, Woods said. Two
holes later, its now cut down to
three. I piped a tee shot down
there, hit a little 9-iron there
and was able to pour that putt
in there.
Woods made birdie to reach
18-under 198, and McDowell
did well to stay only four shots
behind with a two-putt from 85
feet away. That gave him a 69,
and another date with Woods in
the nal group at Doral.
Phil Mickelson, who badly
wanted to get into the nal
group, overcame a three-putt
from 4 feet for double bogey
on the third hole by making
four birdies the rest of the way.
He had a 69, along with Steve
Stricker, and both were ve
shots behind.
I threw away ve or six shots
on the greens and around the
greens, and I feel like I dont
have to play too much differ-
ent, Mickelson said. I just
cant afford to give away those
shots. Im going to have to play
a round like I played at Pebble
last year, something in the low
60s.
A year ago, Mickelson shot
64 in the nal round to win at
Pebble Beach while playing in
the same group with Woods.
Rory McIlroy, the worlds No.
1 player, had a rough start until
rallying on the back nine with
ve birdies in a six-hole stretch
that carried him to a 71. He was
15 shots behind.
Woods used to own these
WGC events, winning 16 of the
rst 30 that he played. He has
gone 0-for-10 since Firestone in
August 2009, though the odds
were stacked in his favor at the
Cadillac Championship. He al-
ready is a three-time winner at
Doral, and he has been putting
well ever since Stricker gave
him a tip on the eve of the tour-
nament.
You know what kind of clos-
er he is, Stricker said. When
he gets the lead in a golf tourna-
ment, its tough. He doesnt let
too many guys in usually when
he gets the lead. Weve all got
our work cut out for us. Were
going to have to go out and try
to make birdies on a difcult
golf course, which is hard to
do.
Its even tougher with
Woods playing like this. He has
matched the low round of the
tournament all three days.
For nine holes, McDowell
threw his best golf at Woods,
and Woods counterpunched in
a magnicent display on the
breezy Blue Monster.
McDowell opened with a 20-
foot eagle, Woods with back-to-
back birdies. McDowell hit his
approach to 10 feet on the third
hole, and Woods followed with
a shot 6 inches inside as both
made birdie.
McDowell nally tied him for
the lead with a 20-foot putt on
the sixth hole, and he had a 10-
foot birdie attempt on the sev-
enth for the outright lead. The
stroke was tentative, and the
ball dipped on the low side.
And that was as close as Mc-
Dowell could get.

Sam Hornish Jr. does a burnout after winning the NASCAR Nationwide race on Saturday in Las Vegas.
LAS VEGAS Sam Hornish
Jr. didnt know the name of Sat-
urdays race until he went to the
drivers meeting for the Sams
Town 300.
Thats a pretty good one for
me to win, he thought to him-
self. Already got my name on
the trophy.
Hornish survived two re-
starts in the nal 15 laps and
held off Kyle Busch to win the
Nationwide Series race at the
Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Hornish led 114 laps in his
second career Nationwide vic-
tory, but needed a strong nish
to outrun Busch, the hometown
driver who won the Nationwide
race last week in Phoenix.
Hornish credited the win to
his dominant car, all the more
impressive since the drivers
got almost no practice on the
1.5-mile tri-oval due to Fridays
rain.
You dream about having
cars like this, Hornish said. I
think I used more energy cele-
brating than I did actually driv-
ing the car today.
Hornish and Busch both
went aggressively after the -
nal restart with seven laps to
go, with Busch briey nudg-
ing ahead before Hornish re-
claimed the lead with ve laps
left. Hornish got clear of Busch
and nished comfortably in a
caution-lled race.
With his third top-10 nish in
three races this season, Horn-
ish moved atop the points race
and gave owner Roger Penske
his rst victory at Las Vegas
in any NASCAR series and
Penskes rst win since moving
from Dodge to Ford in the off-
season.
Hornish also snapped a 36-
race winless streak in his Ford
in his 69th Nationwide race
overall.
Hornish hadnt won since
November 2011 at Phoenix. His
crewchief, Greg Erwin, won his
rst Nationwide race.
Busch dominated last weeks
race, but his Toyota couldnt
catch up to Hornish despite
plenty of cagey racing. Hornish
had nearly a three-second lead
over Busch before the rst of
the nal two cautions.
Sam was just that much
faster than us, said Busch,
who nished in the top 10 for
just the second time in 10 races
in Las Vegas. He was beating
us a little bit everywhere, all
the way around the race track.
Certainly, when he stepped on
the gas, that thing would go
forward in a hurry. Us two were
the class of the eld, but he was
the class of everybody.
Pole sitter Brian Vickers n-
ished third, with Trevor Bayne
fourth despite an early brush
against the wall and Elliott
Sadler fth. Travis Pastrana
came in 10th, four spots ahead
of Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Vickers echoed Buschs praise
of Hornishs superior car.
I couldnt move around
much, said Vickers, a top-10
nisher three times in six Vegas
races. The car would get out
from under me. Seemed like
Samcould not only get through
the bumps, but he could run
top through bottom.
We just ended up getting too
loose. We killed the car on the
last run. It was a valiant effort,
trying to go for the win.
Hornish regained his early
lead on the 145th lap, but Scott
Lagasse Jr.s late spin and an
even later wreck forced him to
be resourceful out of restarts.
Shortly after Lagasses spin,
rookie Kyle Larsons car ended
up in ames after a big collision
with Joey Gase and Ryan Sieg.
Larson, who also hit the wall on
the 87th lap, emerged from his
car unharmed.
Larson, a 20-year-old from
the Sacramento area, survived
a frightening crash on the nal
lap of the Nationwide race two
weeks ago at Daytona, where
his car sailed into the fence
and peppered the crowd with
debris, including a tire, injuring
more than two dozen fans.
Hornish leads the Nation-
wide points standings by 19
points over Justin Allgaier.

Hamlin could be red up for Sprint Cup race
By GREG BEACHAM
AP Sports Writer
LAS VEGAS Maybe Den-
ny Hamlin can channel his fury
over his $25,000 ne fromNAS-
CAR into a fast nish at the Las
Vegas Motor Speedway.
Hamlin got docked for his
pessimistic comments about
the new Gen-6 car, and his an-
ger over the decision overshad-
owed the week leading up to
NASCARs third race in an al-
ready interesting season.
While Hamlin stewed and
refused to pay the ne, most
drivers think Sunday is their
rst real chance to test their
new rides on the intermediate
tracks theyre built to race.
The Vegas race is a bit too
early in the season for gam-
bling, however. While most
teams are still brimming with
optimismafter the rst two rac-
es of the season at Daytona and
Phoenix, some drivers think its
not too early to start worrying
about the overall standings.
Its so important to get that
momentumand the points base
established, Clint Bowyer
said.
Brad Keselowski was award-
ed the Vegas pole after rain
scrubbed Fridays qualifying
session, putting him in prime
position for his rst top-10 n-
ish in Vegas.
The way our car has been
running the last two weeks,
and off of what I saw in prac-
tice, I feel like were in position
to hopefully keep (rst place)
for a very long time in this race,
and hopefully close it out, Kes-
elowski said.
After coming in third in
Phoenix, Hamlin clearly knows
what hes doing in the new car,
despite his worries about the
cars development. But so does
Jimmie Johnson, the four-time
Las Vegas champion who fol-
lowed up his Daytona 500 vic-
tory with a second-place nish
last week.
One-one would be domi-
nant, said Johnson, the only
active driver averaging a top-
10 nish in Vegas. One-two is
competitive.
Theres no shortage of star
power in Las Vegas. Defending
champion Tony Stewart could
use a strong effort after a slow
start in the rst two races, while
Danica Patrick will start 37th.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. will hope
to continue two solid streaks:
Two top-ve nishes already
this season and 10 straight top-
10 nishes on 1.5-mile tracks.
Last weeks race in Phoenix
got mixed reviews, with many
drivers and fans bored by the
single-le racing and relative
lack of passing action.
But several drivers found the
race compelling and competi-
tive, particularly since theyre
still guring out what their new
cars can do and Vegas bump-
lled tri-oval should maximize
the Gen-6 cars strengths.

KRANJSKA GORA, Slove-
nia Ted Ligety of the United
States won his fth giant sla-
lom of the sea-
son Saturday
to clinch the
World Cup
discipline title
with a race to
spare.
Its his fourth
GS title after
winning in 2008
and 2010-11. He also successfully
defended his GS title at the world
championships last month.
To win here again is a super
cool feeling, said Ligety, who
has won in Kranjska Gora ve
times and been on the podium
every year since 2008. I am re-
ally proud of that.
Ligety held his rst-run lead to
win in 2 minutes, 35.43 seconds
for his 16th career victory, all
in GS. He established an insur-
mountable 125-point lead over
Austrias Marcel Hirscher, who
was 0.45 behind in second.
Its a big weight off my
shoulders, Ligety said. I had
an awesome, awesome season
but Hirscher was there all the
time. Even if I beat him by three
seconds, he was still in second
place. That makes it tough going
for the title. It becomes kind of a
head game when he is so close all
the time. So I am pretty psyched
to have it locked up now.
Ligety has nished on the po-
dium in all seven GS races this
season and became the rst man
to achieve that feat since Mi-
chael von Gruenigen of Switzer-
land in 1995-96.
Alexis Pinturault of France
was third, 0.77 behind, and Fe-
lix Neureuther of Germany was
fourth, 0.81 off Ligetys time.
Ligety led Hirscher by 0.60 after
the opening run, in which the
Austrian placed fourth.
In the overall standings,
Hirscher extended his lead to 69
points over Norways Aksel Lund
Svindal, who nished sixth.
Rain made for difcult condi-
tions during the nal run on a
course that was soft by days of
mild temperatures.
Racing in the rain is not my
favorite thing, Ligety said.
I grew up in Park City, Utah,
where its usually warm and
sunny. These are totally different
conditions.

Moorhead, Dragwa post victories
Winners conserve energy for final hill inBear CreekRun
By ROBERT MINER
For The Times Leader
BEAR CREEK Two run-
ners, Mickey Moorhead and
Cathy Dragwa, who virtually
used the same strategy save
energy for the nal hill ran
to victories in the 18th running
of the Bear Creek 5K Run on
Saturday.
Moorhead, 18, of Wilkes-
Barre, led a eld of 112 run-
ners over the hilly course at
Messiah Primitive Methodist
Church, breaking the tape in
17 minutes, 34 seconds.
He outran second-place
nisher John Martino, 28, of
Dallas, by 26 seconds. Tony
Korch, 53, of Nanticoke, n-
ished third, 38 seconds behind
Martino.
I ran behind the leader
(Martino) until we reached the
turnaround, said Moorhead,
who graduated from Coughlin
High School in 2011 where he
was the Crusaders top runner.
Just after the turnaround
I made the pass. Once I took
control, I settled into a good
steady pace. I couldnt hear
(Martino) or see his shadow,
so I just stayed with my pace
and really pushed the nal hill
to the nish.
Dragwa, 41, of Mayeld,
won the female division in
20:48. She outran second-place
nisher Sherri Yelen, 41, of
Kingston, by 1:17. Emily Bil-
bow, 32, of Forty Fort, placed
third, 22 seconds behind Yelen.
I pulled in front a little be-
fore a quarter of a mile into the
race, Dragwa said. Hills are
my downfall. And I knew that
in this race you nish on an up-
hill. So I got into a nice pace
hoping to conserve energy for
that nal hill. When I got to
the nal hill, I pushed it with
all I had.
The strategy worked.
Notes: Moorhead is now
attending Drexel University.
Drexel doesnt have a running
program, so Moorhead runs for
the schools club team.
Dragwa starting running
when she was 20 when she
met her husband Dan, who is
a standout runner.
Thats when I really started
learning how to run, she said
with a smile.
Dragwas son, Dan, 10, won
the half-mile kids race.

Steelers release LB James Harrison in cap move
PITTSBURGH James Har-
risons snarling tenacity made
the Pittsburgh Steelers line-
backer one of the NFLs most
intimidating players for nearly
a decade.
Big hits some legal, some
not so much also turned the
outspoken ve-time Pro Bowler
into focal point for a league-
wide crackdown on helmet-to-
helmet contact.
Harrisons outlaw image
made him beloved in Pittsburgh
but reviled elsewhere. His
onerous contract, however, no
longer worked for a team with
serious salary cap issues. The
Steelers released the former De-
fensive Player
of the Year
on Saturday
when the two
sides could
not agree on
a more cap-
friendly deal.
Its been a
great run but all good things
must come to a end, Harrison
posted on his Twitter account
Saturday afternoon. Thank
you Steelers Nation I will miss
you all!
Pittsburgh general manager
Kevin Colbert and Harrisons
agent Bill Parise had spent the
last few days trying to iron out
a new deal but couldnt reach
any common ground. Harrison
was entering the nal two years
of a $51-million extension he
signed in 2009 and was sched-
uled to make $6.57 million in
2013.
Instead, Harrison who
turns 35 in May will nd
himself looking for work for
the rst time since he became a
xture on the right side of Pitts-
burghs 3-4 defense in 2006.
James has been an integral
part of our success during his
years in Pittsburgh and has
helped us win two Lombardi
trophies during that time, Col-
bert said in a statement. We
appreciate all of his efforts and
wish him the best.
Harrison is the rst cap move
by the Steelers this offseason as
they try to get under the $123
million salary cap by Tuesday,
when the new league year be-
gins. Quarterback Ben Roethlis-
berger and linebacker Lawrence
Timmons have restructured
their contracts to help get Pitts-
burgh under the cap number but
Colbert told reporters after the
Steelers nished a disappoint-
ing 8-8 in 2012 terminations
would also be necessary.
Sooner or later you have
to pay the debt and you never
want to get to a point where
you have to gut your team and
start over because we have to
compete for a championship
every year, Colbert said in
January.
Bills agree to re-sign CB
McKelvin to 4-year deal
BUFFALO, N.Y. Cor-
nerback Leodis McKelvin is
staying in Buffalo after the Bills
reached an agreement to re-
sign their 2008 rst-round draft
pick on Saturday.
A person familiar with the
negotiations said McKelvin
agreed to a four-year contract
worth a little over $20 million.
The person spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity because the
Bills did not reveal the contract
terms in announcing the agree-
ment with McKelvin.
Falcons, safety William
Moore agree to 5-year pact
ATLANTA The Atlanta
Falcons have agreed to terms
with safety William Moore on a
ve-year contract.
Moore was a Pro Bowl alter-
nate with Atlanta last season,
when he had four interceptions
and 105 tackles. He was one of
the top names on the teams list
of unrestricted free agents.

NICE, France Sylvain
Chavanel of France has won a
bunch sprint to take the sixth
stage of the Paris-Nice race on
Saturday, while Richie Porte
of Australia retains the leaders
yellow jersey.
Chavanel edged out Philippe
Gilbert of Belgium to com-
plete the 136-mile trek from
Manosque to Nice in 5 hours, 14
minutes, 23 seconds.
Porte leads the overall
standings, 32 seconds ahead of
Andrew Talansky of the United
States ahead of Sundays nal
stage, and is looking to become
the rst Australian to win the
weeklong race.
The Sky team controlled
much of the race to protect
Portes lead. Egor Silin and
Eduard Vorganov of Russia
broke away from the pack in the
opening miles and were joined
by nine riders. The small group
built a lead that reached nearly
four minutes after 54 miles, but
was reeled in 22 miles from the
nish.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska Four-time
champion Martin Buser held on to the
lead Saturday in Alaskas Iditarod Trail
Sled Dog Race, hoping to be only the
second musher to ever claim a fth title
in the races 40-year-history.
But plenty of competitors were hot in
pursuit in the 1,000-mile race, and gain-
ing on the 54-year-old veteran from Big
Lake, Alaska. Teams have been traveling
in deep snowfollowed by deep overows
in a trail deteriorated by above-freezing
temperatures. Some stretches also were
marked by glare ice.
On the seventh day of the race, Buser
was rst out of the checkpoint at Eagle
Island, where a single cabin is the only
dwelling in the otherwise uninhabited
stretch of trail. Buser dropped two dogs
there and left with 11 dogs at 2:41 a.m.
Saturday to begin the 60-mile run to the
next checkpoint at Kaltag, which is 346
miles from the races nishing point in
Nome.
Last years runner-up, Aliy Zirkle, left
Eagle Island with 13 dogs more than
three hours later. The Two Rivers vet-
eran was followed 29 minutes later by
2004 winner Mitch Seavey of Seward
and his 12-dog team. According to sled
positioning trackers, Zirkle, Seavey and
other teams out of Eagle Island were
traveling at faster speeds than Busers
team and many had more dogs.
Zirkle and Seavey were especially
close to Buser on the Kaltag approach
early Saturday afternoon, with Zirkle
running 9 miles behind him and Seavey
a mile behind Zirkle. The front-runners
are expected to reach the Nome nish
line early next week.
The Anchorage Daily News reported
Saturday that a badly ailing dog had been
taken from Eagle Island to Kaltag, where
it was being treated and could be own
out. A race judge said she didnt know
whose team the dog belonged to. Idi-
tarod ofcials could not immediately be
reached for further information, but many
mushers left dogs behind at Eagle Island.

Blackhawks
down?
Not quite
Chicago ready to move on
after having record streak
stopped on Friday night.
The Associated Press
DENVER The Chicago
Blackhawks arent about to
mourn the end of their streak.
Were proud of it, but itll be
nice to move on now, defense-
man Duncan Keith said after the
Blackhawks 6-2 loss to the Colo-
rado Avalanche on Friday night.
The loss was Chicagos rst in
regulation this season and ended
a remarkable run in which they
earned at least one point in their
rst 24 games, an NHL record.
Its hockey. Weve lost games
before in our lives. Its not like
were going to sit here and cry,
Keith said.
Instead, theyll sit back
and celebrate, said coach Joel
Quenneville, who told his team
afterward that they should be
very proud of what they accom-
plished. They found different
ways to win, night in and night
out, and everyone contributed
to something that hadnt been
done. Its a great feather in our
cap, but lets move forward here
and try to get better. Certainly it
was a lot of fun up to today.
So, they left the ice without
a point for once but also with
their heads held high.
The Blackhawks (21-1-3)
hadnt lost in regulation since a
6-1 rout by Nashville on March
25, 2012, and their last loss in
regulation on the road came more
than a year ago, with a 5-1 defeat
at St. Louis on March 6, 2012.
Dating to last years regular
season, the streak was 30 games.
Thats just mind-boggling,
Avalanche center Paul Stastny
said. Thats two full months
without losing. Hats off to them.
But to be the team that was
able to stop them we had a
chance last time and didnt do
it but the way our schedule
was we knew we had back-to-
back games and would have two
chances to stop it. And thats
what we wanted to do, stop their
streak and get one going for us.
Chicagos overall points streak
was the second-longest in NHL
history. The 1979-80 Philadel-
phia Flyers set the league re-
cord with a staggering 35-game
unbeaten streak that included
25 wins and 10 ties all in the
same season.
Its special, said Matt Duch-
ene, who had a goal and a career-
best three assists. Its obviously
something no one had done yet.
But what a run by them. I mean,
rst of all, congratulations to
them. What a run they had. I
dont think theyre going to slow
down because of this. But its
pretty special. Its a good feeling
in here. Were pretty happy.
Ryan OReilly got his rst goal
since his contract dispute was
resolved more than a week ago
and assisted on another score in
a four-goal onslaught in the sec-
ond period that turned a 1-1 tie
into a laugher. Stastny collected
three points.
Duchene, John Mitchell and Ja-
mie McGinn also put pucks past
Corey Crawford in the second pe-
riod for the Avalanche, who had
lost six of their previous seven,
including a 3-2 heartbreaker at
Chicago 48 hours earlier.
Crawford (11-1-3) allowed ve
goals on 19 shots before being
replaced in net by Ray Emery to
start the third period.
I didnt have it tonight,
Crawford said. Didnt give our
guys a chance.
Semyon Varlamov had 30
saves for Colorado.
The Avalanche nearly ended
the spectacular streak in Chi-
cago on Wednesday night before
the Blackhawks pulled out the
win when Daniel Carcillo scored
the tiebreaking goal with 49.3
seconds left. Chicago was skat-
ing without three key forwards
and playing its second game in
two nights then.
There was no such comeback
Friday night at the Pepsi Center
for Chicago, which hadnt al-
lowed more than four goals in a
game this season or even trailed
by more than two goals until the
Avs spectacular second period.

The Boston Bruins Daniel Paille (20) skates between the Philadelphia Flyers Kimmo Timonen,
left, and Maxime Talbot (25) during the second period of an NHL game in Boston on Saturday.
Bruins shut out Flyers
BOSTON Tyler Seguin
scored his third goal in two
games and the Boston Bruins
added two more in a span of
just over 2 minutes in a 3-0
win over the Philadelphia Fly-
ers on Saturday.
Tuukka Rask made 23 saves
in his second shutout of the
season as the Bruins won the
rst of three meetings with
Philadelphia.
Goals scored by Seguin,
Chris Kelly and Daniel Paille
in the rst period were all
Boston needed against the
slumping Flyers.
One week after reaching
.500 for the rst time this sea-
son, the Flyers lost their third
straight.
Ilya Bryzgalov stopped
just three of the six shots he
faced in the rst period, but
regained his composure and
was the primary reason the
game didnt turn into a rout.
Bryzgalov kept Philadelphia
within reach with saves on
some great scoring chances for
the Bruins, who outshot the
Flyers 28-23.
The three-goal cushion has
not always been good for the
Bruins, who led 3-0 Tuesday
at Washington and ended up
losing 4-3 in overtime. Boston
avoided any chance of blowing
this one with tight defense,
forcing the Flyers into mostly
shots from the outside that
were easy saves for Rask.
The Bruins scored on their
rst power play when Milan
Lucic backhanded a pass
across the crease to Seguin,
who hit the open net and put
Boston up 1-0 with 8:07 left in
the rst period. It was Seguins
eight goal of the season.
Kelly got free in the slot for
another wrister with 6:32 left
for his 99th career goal and it
took less than a minute for the
Bruins to strike again. Shawn
Thornton forced a turnover at
the blue line and set up Pailles
breakaway goal with 5:49 left
in the rst that put Boston up
3-0.
Islanders 5, Capitals 2
UNIONDALE, N.Y. John
Tavares scored two power-play
goals in the third period to lift
the New York Islanders to a 5-2
win over Washington, ending
the Capitals three-game win-
ning streak.
Tavares scored his 15th
goal at 12:13 and his team-
leading 16th the 100th of
his career 30 seconds later,
and Evgeni Nabokov made 22
saves for the Islanders. Josh
Bailey, Casey Cizikas and
Frans Nielsen also scored for
the Islanders, who won for the
third time in four games and
improved to 11-11-3.
Tavares rst goal came as
Washingtons Mike Ribeiro
was serving a four-minute
penalty for high sticking and
unsportsmanlike conduct.
His second came with Jeff
Schultz in the box also for
a double-minor as Tavares
beat Washingtons Philipp
Grubauer, who faced 45 shots
in his rst NHL start.
Mathieu Perreault and
Nicklas Backstrom scored for
the Capitals, who came in with
eight wins in 11 games since
starting the season 2-8-1 under
rst-year coach Adam Oates.
Blue Jackets 3, Red Wings 0
COLUMBUS, Ohio Sergei
Bobrovsky had 29 saves in his
rst career shutout, and Cam
Atkinson and Nick Foligno
took advantage of Detroit give-
aways to score goals in leading
the suddenly hot Columbus
Blue Jackets to a victory over
the Red Wings.
Jack Johnson also picked up
a power-play goal for the Blue
Jackets, who have won four
in a row and earned points in
their last six.
Blues 4, Sharks 3
SAN JOSE, Calif. Vladi-
mir Sobotka recorded his rst
career hat trick and Patrik
Berglund scored 72 seconds
into overtime to lift the St.
Louis Blues past the San Jose
Sharks.
Berglunds team-leading
12th goal of the season came
after the Blues rallied from
two goals down in the third
period. Sobotka, who is riding
the best streak of his career,
had both scores to tie it before
Berglunds game-winner.
Scott Gomez had a goal and
assist for San Jose, which has
lost nine of its last 11 against
St. Louis.
Hurricanes 6, Devils 3
RALEIGH, N.C. Jiri
Tlusty had two goals, and the
surging Carolina Hurricanes
built an early lead and carried
it through to a victory over the
slumping New Jersey Devils.
Alexander Semin and Jay
Harrison scored 28 seconds
apart in the rst period, and
Jeff Skinner and Chris Terry
in his NHL debut added
goals for the Hurricanes, who
won for the fth time in six
games. Dan Ellis made 31
saves in the victory.
Tlustys second goal was
into an empty net with 1:14
remaining.
New Jersey got two goals
from Ilya Kovalchuk, includ-
ing a short-handed tally, and
one from Patrik Elias but that
wasnt enough for the Devils
to avoid their seventh loss in
eight games without top goalie
Martin Brodeur.
Canadiens 4, Lightning 3
TAMPA, Fla. Brendan
Gallagher broke a tie with
Montreals third goal of the
third period, and the Eastern
Conference-leading Canadiens
rallied to beat the Tampa Bay
Lightning 4-3 on Saturday
night.
The Canadiens pulled
within 3-2 on Brian Giontas
power-play goal 3:49 into the
third, and Alexei Emelin tied it
at 7:33. Gallagher then put the
puck past Cedrick Desjardins
from in-close to give Montreal
a 4-3 lead with 7:57 to play.
Montreal also got a goal
from Tomas Plekanec and two
assists.
Penguins 5, Maple Leafs 4
TORONTO Sidney
Crosby and James Neal scored
shootout goals, and the
Pittsburgh Penguins beat the
Toronto Maple Leafs for their
NHL-leading 11th road win.
Neal opened the shootout
with a goal against James Re-
imer before Crosby sealed the
win on Pittsburghs second at-
tempt after Marc-Andre Fleury
stopped Torontos Tyler Bozak
and Nazem Kadri.
Phil Kessel forced overtime
for the Maple Leafs with his
seventh of the season at 15:40
of the third.
Neal, Crosby, Beau Bennett
and Pascal Dupuis scored in
regulation for Pittsburgh (17-
8-0), which outshot Toronto
41-26. Crosby scored in his
rst game in Toronto in over
three years to extend his point
streak to a season-high seven
games (ve goals, 10 assists).
Canadiens 4, Lightning 3
TAMPA, Fla. Brendan
Gallagher broke a tie with
Montreals third goal of the
third period, and the Eastern

third, and Alexei Emelin tied it
at 7:33. Gallagher then put the
puck past Cedrick Desjardins
from in-close to give Montreal
a 4-3 lead with 7:57 to play.
Montreal also got a goal
from Tomas Plekanec and two

ATLANTA Brook Lopez
and Andray Blatche each
scored 18 points, Deron
Williams added 17 and the
Brooklyn Nets won their
third straight game with a
93-80 victory over the Atlanta
Hawks on Saturday night.
Al Horford nished with
15 points and 12 rebounds
for the Hawks, who seemed
lethargic after losing in
overtime at Boston on Friday.
Atlanta has lost two straight
and ve of six.
Brooklyn had a better
performance coming off its
17-point home victory over
Washington on Friday in
which Williams set the NBA
record with nine 3-pointers
in a half and scored a season-
high 42 points.
Lopez, who nished with
nine rebounds, scored 14
points in the third, including a
runner that gave Brooklyn its
rst 20-point lead.
The Nets took their rst
double-digit lead midway
through the second quar-
ter when Mirza Teletovics
3-pointer made it 39-29. It
only got worse in the second
half for Atlanta, which trailed
by 23 early in the fourth on
a couple of long jumpers by
Blatche.
Wizards 104, Bobcats 87
WASHINGTON The
Washington Wizards, one of
the few NBA teams who can
actually call the Charlotte
Bobcats a nemesis, did their
bit to rectify that notion
Saturday night, with Trevor
Ariza scoring a season-high 26
points in a victory.
The Wizards never trailed
and shot 50 percent as they
handed the league-worst Bob-
cats their 10th straight loss,
most of which havent been
competitive. Charlotte has
been outscored by an average
of 21.5 points during the skid.
But the Wizards had been
0-2 against the Bobcats,
dropping both games back in
November when Charlotte
was actually toying with the
idea of a respectable season.
Washington has remained
near the bottom of the league
as well, sitting 13th in the 15-
team Eastern Conference.
Knicks 113, Jazz 84
NEW YORK J.R. Smith
scored 24 points and the New
York Knicks shook off the
absence of Carmelo Anthony
and the shock of Amare Stou-
demire needing more knee
surgery to rout the slumping
Utah Jazz.
The Knicks learned earlier
Saturday that Stoudemire will
have right knee surgery that
will sideline him approximate-
ly six weeks. But they still
have plenty of scoring off the
bench, with Steve Novak add-
ing a season-high 20 points.
Alec Burks scored 14 points
and Gordon Hayward had 13
for the Jazz, who completed
a 0-4 road trip that dropped
them into a tie with the Los
Angeles Lakers for the eighth
and nal playoff spot in the
Western Conference.
Grizzlies 96, Hornets 85
MEMPHIS, Tenn. Mike
Conley scored 22 points,
seven Memphis players
nished in double gures and
the Grizzlies won their fourth
straight with a victory over
the New Orleans Hornets.
Tony Allen had 14 points,
while Tayshaun Prince and
Quincy Pondexter scored 13
points apiece. Ed Davis had
12 points, nine rebounds and
matched his career best with
ve blocks as Memphis won
its 12th game in the last 13.
Jerryd Bayless and Marc
Gasol scored 10 points apiece,
although Gasol missed all
four of his shots in the second
half.
Anthony Davis led the
Hornets with 20 points and 18
rebounds, while Ryan Ander-
son scored 17 points. Greivis
Vasquez added 12 points and
eight assists, and Eric Gordon
had 11 points.
The Hornets lost their third
straight and have dropped ve
of six.

Mystery not
that much of a
puzzle after all
I
t was a mystery at rst
A reader recently emailed a pic-
ture of a creature that he said was
shot by a neighbor as it attacked his
dogs in the Mountain Top area.
He said the animal hopped and had
hooves and fangs, and had a picture to
back it up. I eagerly hit the download
button and saw the proof. The animal
appeared to be some sort of canine
with long back legs, pointy ears and
was basically hairless aside from a
thin, fuzzy coat.
Odd.
The animal was shot on Feb. 22 and,
according to the person who sent the
email, the Game Commission was
called, came in and took the dead ani-
mal away without an explanation.
Really odd.
But at least I had a place to start. I
called the PGC region ofce in Dallas
and they had no report of the incident.
I studied the picture again, and the
mysterious creature began to take
shape.
Pointy, black-tipped ears. A coating
of thin, black fur on the legs. A snout
like a dog and a somehwat elongated
neck.
What really threw me off was the ab-
sence of a coat and a hairless, thin tail.
Still, I had a hunch and I asked a
biologist friend for a second opinion.
Turns out the creature is a red fox
with an extreme case of mange. It was
basically hairless, which would explain
why the back legs looked unusually
long and why the ears and tail were
noticeably pointy.
And the black on the tips of the
ears and legs were clear evidence of a
red fox, the biologist pointed out. But
what about the hooves, fangs and the
tendency for the animal to hop? The
fangs were canine teeth.
Hopping? Ive seen foxes plenty of
times bound through a eld, much
like a cat pouncing. Also, perhaps the
mange caused the animal such discom-
fort that it hopped rather than walked?
Who knows.
And the hooves well I had to zoom
in on the photo to clear that one up.
The paws look a bit swollen and dis-
gured, which could be a side-effect of
the mange. The swollen, black pads on
the foxs paws could certainly give its
feet a hoof-like appearance.
And because the fox was sick with
mange, I dont nd it unreasonable
that it would attack a couple of dogs.
A few days later the red fox theory was
further supported.
I spoke to a local Wildlife Conserva-
tion Ofcer whose district includes the
area where the mysterious creature
was shot. He said he had been seeing a
red fox in the vicinity with an extreme
case of mange and had the photos to
prove it. Sure enough, it matched up
with the animal that was shot while
attacking the dogs -- a hairless, skinny
red fox. In the end, what started out as
an oddball creature turned out to be a
mangy, hairless red fox.
It was an interesting nd, and an
example of just how debilitating and
serious a disease such as mange can be
on wildlife.
Saying good-bye
In many rural areas a place is dened
by the people who live there. One small
town in Wyoming County recently lost
a resident who was the face of the com-
munity. Barb Richter passed away on
March 1 at the age of 67.
She and her late husband, Chuck,
owned the Tombstone Inn in Lovelton
for 36 years and both were well-known
by the hunters and anglers who headed
up north every year. A day of bass
shing the farm ponds in Lovelton
wasnt complete without stopping at
the Tombstone for a burger and to say
hello to Barb. She loved seeing people
coming up to hunt and sh as much as
we enjoyed the mountains and ponds
that surround the town. Lovelton may
have lost a face of its community, but
Barb left a mark that will be remem-
bered for a long time.
State Rep. Gerald Mul-
lery, D-Nanticoke, will
host a town hall meeting
with the Pennsylvania
Fish and Boat Com-
mission on Thursday,
March 21 at the Luzerne
County Community
College Education Con-
ference Center from 7
to 9 p.m. A presentation
will be given by Fish and
Boat Commission staff
followed by a question
and answer period.
The Pennsylvania Fish
and Boat Commis-
sion (PFBC) is stocking
adult trout in a variety
of lakes and streams
that are open to public
angling throughout
Pennsylvania in 2013
and has posted where
and when those sh
will be released at www.
shandboat.com.
Anglers can easily search
the trout stocking
schedules for locations
and dates of interest.
To make the list, simply
go to www.shandboat.
com, click on the link
for 2013 Trout Stock-
ing Schedules, select a
county, and start and
end dates from the cal-
endars at the top of the
page. Then press Go.
The search results will pro-
vide each body of water
within a county that is
scheduled for stocking,
the section of water,
the date, the species of
trout, the meeting place
and time, the hatchery
stocking the section, the
regulations that apply,
and the latitude/longi-
tude number.
The PFBC annually stocks
approximately 3.2
million adult trout in
735 streams and 123
lakes open to public
angling. These gures
include approximately
1.84 million rainbow;
836,000 brown; and
509,000 brook trout. As
with past practice, the
average size of the trout
produced for stocking is
11 inches in length.
The PFBC plans to stock
about 8,500 trophy
golden rainbow trout
that weigh an average of
1.5 pounds and measure
at least 14 inches long.
About 52 percent of
the trout are stocked
prior to opening day; 43
percent are stocked be-
tween opening day and
the end of May; and the
remaining 5 percent are
stocked from October
through February of the
following year.
Also, cooperative nurser-
ies run by sportsmens
clubs across the state
will add another one
million trout to waters
close to them. The 2013
season will open March
30 with the regional
opening day of trout in
18 southeastern coun-
ties, including: Adams,
Berks, Bucks, Chester,
Cumberland, Dauphin,
Delaware, Franklin, Juni-
ata, Lancaster, Lebanon,
Lehigh, Montgomery,
Northampton, Perry,
Philadelphia, Schuylkill
and York counties.
For the rest of the state,
the regular opening
day of trout season is
April 13.
A Northeastern Pennsyl-
vania Forest Land-
owners Conference at
Keystone College will
be held on March 16
from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Penn State Extension in
partnership with DCNR
Bureau of Forestry has

A trail camera captured this
coyote passing through the snow-

in Shickshinny at 4:21 a.m. on Jan.
Judging by the diameter of the tree

to be a rather large canine. The

State rep wants to study combining of PGC, PFBC
TIMES LEADER FILE PHOTO
Legislators are discussing the idea of merging the state Game and Fish and Boat commissions for cost-savings and to reduce
duplicate services between the two agencies.
Caution: Merging agencies ahead?
By TOMVENESKY
tvenesky@timesleader.com
State Rep. Gerald Mullery, D-Nanticoke,
admits hes not a fan of blanket resolutions
that lack specics.
But when Mullery read the resolution
being drafted by state Rep. Martin Causer
of Potter County, he didnt hesitate to sign
on as a co-sponsor.
Causer, who is chairman of the House
Game and Fisheries Committee, is circu-
lating a resolution that would direct the
Legislative Budget and Finance Com-
mittee to study the nancial feasibility
and potential cost savings of merging the
Pennsylvania Game Commission and the
state Fish and Boat Commission.
In Causers memo, he cited the fact that
49 other states operate efciently with
merged sh and game agencies, and the
current nancial difculties faced by the
PGC and PFBC make the possibility of a
merger a timely topic to consider.
Mullery, who is a member of the Game
and Fisheries Committee, agrees.
I can support a study to look into com-
bining two agencies that, on face value,
are inter-related, he said, taking it a step
further.
I think the Game Commission and
Fish and Boat should be combined already
and realize the nancial gain. I anticipate
the study would reveal that a cost-savings
would be realized.
A similar study in 2003 did just that, in-
dicating such a merger would save money
by eliminating staff positions, consolidat-
ing regional ofces and reducing the mo-
tor vehicle pool required by two agencies.
The PFBC is already attempting to cut
costs by announcing the closures of two
state sh hatcheries and scaling back its
trout stocking program. The moves would
save the agency an estimated $2 million
of its $9 million budget shortfall projected
for 2017.
Still, a merger might not be the best
approach to cutting costs, said PFBC com-
missioner Norm Gavlick.
Combining agencies will lead to more
layers of bureaucracy, he said, which could
threaten the efency of services and pro-
grams already in place.
It changes not only the efciency, but
the timeliness in which things are done,
Gavlick said. By combining us together
and having to deal with all the major
programs -- deer, trout, Game Lands, the
rivers -- it could be an overload for just one
agency.
While Gavlick dosnt believe the PFBC
board or staff would support a merger,
he does understand why the issue would
come up now. The PFBC is hurting
nancially while the Game Commission
is realizing a revenue boost from royalties
generated by Marcellus Shale drilling. A
merger, he said, would be an easy way for
the legislture to funnel more cash to the
PFBC.
In the eyes of the legislators, there
might be more motivation this time to
support a merger, Gavlick said. Still, the
last time there was a study, it showed that
a merger was nancially feasible and it
still didnt get done.
Support for a merger is lacking from
the PGC, at least with commissioner Jay
Delaney. While the PGC board has yet
to discuss the matter, Delaney said the
system of two independent agencies has
worked for a long time.
Still, Delaney said he has no problem
with legislators looking at more cost-
effective ways to run government, he just
doesnt believe a merger falls under that
category.
Im condent if they were to do the
study, they would see youre not going
to save a lot of money by doing this,
Delaney said, adding that a merger could
compromise the level of services the agen-
cies perform for hunters and anglers.
He also said the Game Commission
really doesnt cost general taxpayers any-
thing because its funded by the less than
10 percent of the states population that
purchases hunting licenses.
The last time the legislature looked
at this in 2003 they saw there wasnt a
huge cost-savings factor and sportsmen
didnt support it, Delaney said. We have
independent agencies to hear from all of
the stakeholders and independent boards
to make the decision on whats best. Its
worked well that way for over 100 years.
Mullery said merged agencies might
benet hunters and anglers because they
would then have one outlet to turn to,
simplifying the process. A merger of the
PGC and PFBC would be similar to the
regionalization of police departments, he
said, that operate as one central unit with
various precincts within.
State Rep. Kevin Haggerty, D-Lacka-
wanna, is also a member of the House
Game and Fisheries Committee and, like
Mullery, he supports the plan to study the
cost-savings of a merger.
Haggerty said with the current eco-
nomic climate the time is right to look at
any way possible to cut costs while not
jeopardizing the quality of service.
If it doesnt affect the mission of both
agencies, Im for it, he said. Its extreme-
ly important that we maintain the integ-
rity of both agencies, and that would have
to be gured out before we move forward.
But youre really talking about two things
- hunting and shing, that arent all that
different.

Rape case of 2 Ohio football players set to begin
By ANDREWWELSH-HUGGINS
AP Legal Affairs Writer
COLUMBUS, Ohio Two
high school football players
go on trial this coming week
on charges of raping a nearly
passed-out-drunk 16-year-old
girl during a night of partying
in Steubenville. Around the
football-powerhouse city, some
are demanding to know why at
least three other teens arent fac-
ing charges, too.
After the athletes arrest last
summer, one of the many ru-
mors that swirled around town
proved all too true: Three boys,
two of them members of Steu-
benville Highs celebrated Big
Red team, saw something hap-
pening that night and didnt try
to stop it. Instead, two pulled
out their cellphones and took
video and a photo.
The allegations shocked and
roiled the city of 18,000, but
prosecutors brought no charges
against the witnesses, fueling
months of furious online accu-
sations of a cover-up to protect
the team something law en-
forcement authorities have ve-
hemently denied.
Anyone that they can show
had rsthand knowledge and
was partly in some way respon-
sible for the event, the rape,
they should be charged, said
Jackie Hillyer, president of the
Ohio chapter of the National Or-
ganization for Women.
Longtime Steubenville resi-
dent Willa Wade said: I feel per-
sonally that if they were there,
they knewit had happened, they
did not report it or stop it, then
they ought to be brought up on
the same charges as anybody
else.
The Ohio attorney generals
ofce, however, told the three
witnesses in a letter last fall that
while they may not have con-
ducted themselves in a respon-
sible or appropriate manner,
their behavior did not rise to
the level of criminal conduct,
and they would not be charged.
Legal experts said it is clear
prosecutors sorely need the wit-
nesses testimony to make their
rape case.
This prosecutor more than
anything else wants to get a
conviction of the culprits and he
does not want to jeopardize that
single-minded goal, said Chris-
to Lassiter, a University of Cin-
cinnati criminal law professor.
MaLik Richmond, 16, and
Trent Mays, 17, go on trial
Wednesday in juvenile court in
Steubenville. They are charged
with digitally penetrating the
girl, rst in the back seat of a
moving car after a mostly under-
age, alcohol-fueled party Aug.
11, and then in the basement
of a house. Witnesses said the
girl was so drunk she threw up
at least twice and had trouble
walking and speaking. She was
also photographed being carried
by the two young men.
If convicted, they could be
held in a juvenile jail until they
turn 21. They have denied any
wrongdoing.
National attention has hit
Steubenville and has led to
accusations of a cover-up.

How would
you feel if Mom and
dad became your
roommates?
For some fami-
lies, its a reality as
they give shelter to
nancially struggling
parents or ill parents who can no
longer care for themselves.
But as much as you may want to
repay your parents for their care of
you, you have to look at the nancial
and emotional ramications of taking
them in.
Parents are in the habit of tak-
ing care of their children, said Rick
Salmeron, certied nancial planner
at the Salmeron Financial Network.
The ow of wealth from older to
younger generation feels natural to
many.
But changing demographics is mak-
ing the reverse more common.
we are living so much longer
now, Salmeron said. The older
generation may be running out of
savings, or may be mentally or physi-
cally unable to tend for themselves.
The younger generation had better
do more thinking about possible new
roommates their parents and
how they might prepare themselves.
Here are the areas you need to look
at:
THE COSTS
when considering having a parent
come live with you, there are direct
costs and indirect costs, said Tom
Murphy, certied nancial planner at
Murphy & Sylvestin dallas.
direct costs include groceries,
household supplies and dining out.
Indirect costs can include increased
utility bills, higher auto insurance
rates if the parent is still driving, and
more laundry, hobby or activity costs
of the parent, he said.
Adding one person to a home
with two will increase these variable
expenses by an average of 23 percent,
according to u.S. census gures,
Murphy said.
For example, if you and your
spouse spend $2,000 a month for
food, utilities and other non-xed ex-
penses and one parent comes to live
with you, you can expect your costs
to increase to about $2,460, Murphy
said.
Having both parents live with you
increases costs by about 42 percent,
he said.
Neither situation includes in-
creased health care costs unique to
an elderly parent, nor do they include
assisted living costs in the home.
SHARING THE BURDEN
Parents, if nancially feasible, may
want to contribute to the household,
said Jean Keener, certied nancial
planner at Keener Financial Planning
in Keller, Texas. discussing arrange-
ments to help with utilities or other
costs helps facilitate this.
After deb Sears bought a home
in 1995, it was more than what she
wanted to care for by herself, so she
moved her elderly parents in with
her.
It was a good opportunity for me
to get them in a better place because
their business had closed and I
wanted the help, said Sears, 53, of
Flower Mound, Texas.
The transition wasnt nancially
difcult for her because within a year,
Sears got a promotion and big pay
raise.
I was making enough money
and they were starting to get Social
Security, she said. I was able to help
them retire so they didnt have to go
and nd other jobs.
Today, things are different. Sears
father has died, and she was laid off
from her job as an information tech-
nology manager in 2004.
Sears and her 81-year-old mother
now are moving from their home to a
two-bedroom apartment to ease the
burdens of a house payment and the
upkeep of the home.
we greatly have reduced our
spending, said Sears, whos living off
of her savings and investments.
IMPACT ON BENEFITS

you wont affect their Medicare or

Facebook showed off a redesign
of its News Feed on Thursday that
features bigger pictures, a cleaner
look and a series of optional feeds
that will let users focus on photos,
music or other specialized topics.
The newdesigneventually could
let Facebook show users more ad-
vertisements in the stream of up-
dates and posts that users view, ac-
cording to Ceo Mark Zuckerberg,
but he suggested the change will
be gradual.
while the main News Feed page
will still rank posts according to
Facebooks formula for calculating
what users want to see based on
their past likes and those of their
friends Zuckerberg said users
also will be able to switch to a spe-
cialized stream showing only pho-
tos or just music and concert news.
If they wish, users also can switch
to a stream that shows every post
from all their friends, or from the
commercial pages and businesses
that a user has liked.
Those specialized feeds will be
like the sections of a newspaper,
Zuckerberg said. we view our-
selves as a medium for all kinds of
information and other content that
Facebook users want to share, he
added.
The new design represents the
biggest change to Facebooks News
Feed in nearly two years. Previous
revisions have sparked a backlash
from users who did not like chang-
ing from what they were used to.
But Facebook executives said the
company believes the new design
responds to users requests. They
add that it will be introduced grad-
ually to waves of users, so the com-
pany can take their feedback into
account.
Facebook executive Chris Cox
said the design is also intended
to look the same on all kinds of
screens, from desktop computers
to tablets and smartphones.
executives said Facebook is re-
moving much of the clutter that
now appears on side colum`ns of
the News Feed page on desktop
computers. while they did not say
how this affects advertising, which
is now often displayed on the right
side of desktop screens, experts say
it likely means Facebook will put
more emphasis on inserting ads or
sponsored stories into the main
streamof updates.

Nearly 40 local employers will be
at The woodlands Inn and Resort on
Tuesday looking to ll hundreds of
jobs.
The annual Spring Career Fair,
sponsored by The Times leader
and Monster.com, starts at 10 a.m.
and runs through 5 p.m. and gives
jobseekers the convenience of apply-
ing for multiple jobs at one location.
Some companies will be doing inter-
views on the spot, including Sallie
Mae, and others will just be acecpting
applications or resumes.
For a region that registered a sea-
sonally adjusted unemployment rate
of 9.5 percent in december, the most
recently available data the depart-
ment of labor has, these sorts of op-
portunities are important to both the
unemployed, or the under employed,
said Christine M. Jensen, the admin-
istrator for the PA Careerlink ofce
in wilkes-Barre.
Career Fairs are a great opportu-
nity for job seekers to actually meet
with a representative from a com-
pany with which they are interested
in working. with so many employers
using on-line application processes, it
is not often that you get to speak with
someone in person unless you are
granted an interview, Jensen said.
It allows the job seeker a few min-
utes to make an impression on that
(human resources) manager. If the
impression is a positive one, when
that HR manager gets back to the of-
ce and begins reviewing the dozens
and perhaps hundreds of resumes
they received at the job fair, those
that made a positive impression have
a better chance at being chosen for an
interview.
Nine of the companies sending
reprsentatives to the event are new
to the fair, which has been an annual
event for more than two decades and
has been held at the woodlands the
past ve years. Previously, the event
has been held at the Arena at Casey
Plaza, the Pittston Convention Cen-
ter, and Genettis Hotel and Conven-
tion Center.
Among the newcomers is Moun-
tain Top Foam/Sealy Components,
which is looking to ll about 10 ma-
chine operator poisitions. The com-
pany is growing and has already lled
ve positions.
This job fair was very timely as
were trying to hire people for the
near future, said Joe Pail, human re-
sources manager at the weight Town-
ship facility.
He said companies looking to nd
employees have so many avenues at
their disposal from newspapers to
websites to Careerlink and more
that sometimes its overwhelming for
jobskeekers to access all of those pos-
sibilities. The job fairs give employers
the ability to reach lots of different

Q: After working at an amuse-
ment park for three years, I am
hoping for a promotion to su-
pervisor. My last attempt, how-
ever, was a asco.
When my supervisor quit, I
told our manager, Bob, that I
was interested in the position.
Bob gave me an application and
said he would keep me in mind.
Two weeks later, before going
on vacation, I reminded Bob of
my interest in the supervisory
job.
When I returned, a co-worker
informed me that an outside ap-
plicant had been hired. I imme-
diately asked Bob why I had not
been given an interview. Bob
initially said that he forgot I was
interested, but probably would
have given me the job if he had
remembered. When I reminded
him about our previous conver-
sations, he said he vaguely re-
called them, but that the other
applicant was more qualied.
Implanning to send a written
complaint to the general man-
ager, because I dont want to be
overlooked again. Do you think
this will help?
A: Despite the fact that your
bumbling boss cant keep his
own story straight, complaining
is not a wise move. Your objec-
tive is not to overturn the pre-
vious decision, but to inuence
the next one. Sounding resent-
ful or dissatised might actually
keep you from being promoted,
so lets consider a different
strategy.
Since Bobs opinion is im-
portant, arrange a meeting
with him to discuss your career
goals. Without mentioning his
previous blunder, ask what he
looks for in a supervisor, request
suggestions for strengthening
your qualications, and express
appreciation for his advice.
Follow up with a thank-you
email and copy the general
manager. For example: Bob, I
just wanted to thank you for tak-
ing time to talk with me about
my career. Your advice was very
helpful. I have enjoyed working
at the park for the past three
years and would certainly like
to be considered if a superviso-
ry position becomes available.
This approach has several
benets. You can remind Bob
of your interest in a promotion,
learn more about how he evalu-
ates candidates, and gain some
good will by sharing a compli-
ment with his boss. At the same
time, you are tactfully advising
the general manager of your de-
sire to move up.
Q: Beth and Marcia both
work for me. R
ecently, I made the mistake of
telling Beth that I was unhappy
with Marcias performance. She
repeated my comments, and
now Marcia is justiably angry.
How can I recover from this
screw-up?
A: First, kudos to you for re-
conizing that managers should
never discuss one employee
with another. But if you also
failed to tell Marcia about these
issues directly, then you owe her
both an apology and some feed-
back. For example: Marcia, I
want to apologize for discussing
my concerns about your project
with Beth instead of talking to
you. That was inexcusable, and
it wont happen again. However,
we do need to gure out why
this project is behind schedule.
Your lapse in judgment, while
unfortunate, does not exempt
Marcia from having a necessary
performance discussion.

Its a good place to meet a lot
of prospects.
Linda Byrnes, the classied
sales manager for The Times
Leader and an event organizer,
said with companies downsiz-
ing, implementing hiring freez-
es or closing altogether, she
was sattised with the number
of businesses that signed up to
participate. More than half the
companies were at the fall job
fair the Times Leader hosted at
the 109th Field Artilary Armory
in Wilkes-Barre have signed up
for this fair, too.
Trucking, manufacturing and
warehousing companies will be
on hand but three sectors are
most notable on the lineup of
businesses in attendance.
The nancial and insurance
sectors are well represented
with First Financial Group,
MassMutal Financial Group,
Northwestern Mutual, Pruden-
tial, Robert C. Williams Insur-
ance Agency Inc., Sallie Mae
and Western and Southern Life
Insurance companies among
those with booths. The health-

nies including Allied Services,
Bayada, Caregivers America,
Meadows Nursing & Rehabili-
tation Center, Pediatria Health
Care, Regional Hospital of

sented.
Sallie Mae plans to hire full-
time collectors and call center
representatives and currently
has about 100 openings for its
Hanover Township, according
to company spokeswoman Nik-
ki A. Lavoie, who said the com-
pany saw the job fair as a good
way to ll those jobs.
As one of the regions top em-
ployers, Sallie Mae is pleased to
participate in the job fair again
this year. At a time when nd-
ing a good job can be tough, this
event provides an important
service to jobseekers and the
community. Its also a great way
for Sallie Mae to reach and re-
cruit new candidates to join our
team of talented professionals,
Lavoie said.
In order to assist job seekers

Avrian Mack of Wilkes-Barre seeks out job postings by potential
employers on CareerLink computers in Wilkes-Barre.
BETHLEHEM, Pa. Its
Easter morning. A boy rouses
his younger brother, and they
run to the living room to find
their baskets filled with -
what else? - Peeps.
Peeps are THE candy of
Easter, the excited boy tells
his wide-eyed sibling, who
pops a yellow marshmallow
chick in his mouth.
You can eat em, smash
em, microwave em, deep fry
em, roast em on a stick, the
boy explains. Thats not all.
You can make historically
accurate Peeps dioramas
Peeps pop art You can
make a Peeps topiary. On
he goes, all day and night.
Peeps jousting hide-and-
go Peeps Peepshi thats
sushi made out of Peeps.
As the storied candy brand
celebrates its 60th anniver-
sary this year, Peeps first
TV ad in a decade captures
an essential truth about the
spongy confection made of
sugar, corn syrup and gela-
tin: Love them or hate them,
people do all sorts of things
with Peeps, only some of
which involve giving them to
kids at Easter or eating them
straight from the box.
And theyre not shy about
sharing.
Everyone seems to have
a Peeps story, says Ross
Born, third-generation opera-
tor of Just Born Inc., which
hatches 5 million Peeps a day
at its plant 60 miles north of
Philadelphia (http://apne.
ws/12A8iCH ). And they are
free and willing to talk about
how they eat their Peeps,
how they cure them, how
they store them, how they
decorate with them. And
these are adults!
Just Born calls it the Peep-
sonality of consumers who
buy Peeps not only to eat, but
also to play around with.
If you had asked me about
this 25 years ago, I wouldve
been rather bewildered about
the whole thing, Born con-
fesses. We were candy mak-
ers.
Not that hes complaining.
Just Born had its best year fi-
nancially in 2012.
His grandfather, Russian
immigrant Sam Born, started
the candy company out of a
Brooklyn storefront 90 years
ago. Born advertised the
freshness of his product with
a sign that said Just Born.
The name stuck.
The burgeoning business
moved to Bethlehem and ac-
quired the Peeps brand with
its 1953 purchase of Rodda
Candy Co. of Lancaster. Best
known for its jelly beans,
Rodda had also introduced
a small line of marshmallow
chicks and bunnies, employ-
ing dozens of women who
hand-squeezed them out
of pastry bags. It was re-
ally very difficult, and these
women were strong, said
David Shaffer, Sam Borns
nephew and co-CEO along
with Ross Born.
Rosss father, Bob Born -
a physicist and engineer by
training - automated the pro-
cess in the mid-1950s, and
a version of the machine he
invented is still in use today,
extruding millions of those
familiar shapes on peak-Peep
production days.
The company, whose oth-
er brands are Hot Tamales,
Mike and Ike, and Golden-
bergs Peanut Chews, has
never suffered an unprofit-
able year. But its growth has
always been relatively slow,
steady and controlled, and a
few years ago, Born and Shaf-
fer decided they wanted to
accelerate it.
The longtime partners
brought in a new manage-
ment team, spent heavily on
marketing and broke back
into the chocolate business,
introducing chocolate-dipped
Peeps as well as Peepsters,
small chocolate candies filled
with marshmallow-flavored
cream. (New for this year is
a yellow chick nestled in a
hollow chocolate egg.) They
also focused on holiday sea-
sons other than Easter, par-
ticularly Christmas.
The result: Shaffer says
last year was off the charts.
While Just Born is privately
held and does not disclose
revenue, he says it posted
double-digit growth across
all brands. And Shaffer sees
more growth potential as
the confectioner works to
position its products in ware-
house clubs and convenience
stores.
Just Born certainly ben-
efits from being part of a $33
billion candy industry that is
seen as basically recession-

BUYBACK BINGE
Last month was by far the biggest
ever for stock buybacks.
Companies authorized $118
billion in repurchases, according
to Birinyi Associates. Thats $29
billion more than announced in
December 2007, the old record
holder. Repurchases can benefit
investors because fewer shares
outstanding mean remaining ones
get a bigger proportion of the
companys profits. Repurchases,
along with dividends, are ways
that companies can return some
of the cash that they hold to
shareholders. Now that tax rates
rose on dividend income for some
investors, buybacks may be a
more popular option.
BEST REBIRTH?
Many investors left Best Buy for dead last year. They worried that the
electronics retailer couldnt compete with online rivals, and its stock sank
49 percent. But Best Buy has found some believers among financial
analysts, and its stock
has crept back in 2013.
The retailer trimmed its
loss in the fourth quarter
after cutting costs,
beating analysts
expectations. Jefferies
analysts last week
upgraded its stock to
Buy on expectations that
its new management will
cut costs further. The
Jefferies analysts also say
that expectations are so
low that its easier for Best
Buy to surprise investors.

GREECE DEMOTED
To investors, emerging markets often connote strong growth
and opportunities. Think of stocks from China or Indonesia.
Greece doesnt fit that description, after its economy shrank 6.9
percent in 2011 and another 6 percent last year. But Russell In-
dexes says it is one. Thats because Russell considers how
risky a countrys stocks are
when classifying it as either an
emerging or developed market.
Given Greeces debt woes in
recent years, Russell last week
said that Greece is too risky to
deserve developed market
status and demoted it to
emerging. The move will af-
fect mutual funds that bench-
mark themselves against ei-
ther the Russell Developed or
Russell Emerging Markets in-
dexes.

Title: Co-manager of the
JPMorgan Emerging Economies
fund
What he suggests: Emerging
markets offer compelling
investment opportunities.
Answers edited for content and
clarity.
George Iwanicki
Its been a tough few years
for stocks from the worlds fastest-
growing economies. Mutual funds
specializing in emerging markets
stocks have posted average annual-
ized returns of about 5 percent over
the latest 3-year period, according
to Morningstar. Thats less than half
of the average gains for most U.S.
stock fund categories over the same
period. Even so, George Iwanicki of
the JPMorgan Emerging Economies
fund (JEEAX) sees an abundance of
investing opportunities in countries
such as China and Turkey. The
mutual fund has outperformed
nearly three-quarters of its emerging
markets peers over the latest
5-year period, posting an average
annualized return of 1.8 percent.
Emerging markets stocks took
a beating in 2011, and they went
through another rough stretch
last spring before rallying late
in the year. Why do see strong
opportunities now?
These stocks are priced inexpen-
sively relative to historic averages
and to what we think is a fair value.
Theyre not screamingly cheap,
but they look attractive. They were
hurt because corporate earnings
struggled in many developing
countries over the past couple
years. That was a consequence of
a slowdown in economic growth in
countries like China and India.
But its important to remember
that growth has remained much
stronger than it has in developed
countries like the U.S. or in Europe.
In the emerging markets, the
slowdown was largely the result
of central banks trying to contain
inflation by keeping economic
growth manageable.
Why is the situation turning
around?
In most of these countries, the
inflation fight looks like it has been
won for now. So central banks
have shifted their policies in recent
months, and theyre now trying to
encourage growth. So this is the
year when earnings are likely to
begin improving.
Which countries and regions offer
the greatest investment potential?
Stocks in China have become con-
siderably cheaper after that market
experienced a nearly two-year bear
market that ended last fall. We also
like Turkey. The demographics
there are favorable, with a relatively
young population that will fuel long-
term economic growth. One of the
fund holdings that we particularly
like is Turkiye Garanti Bankasi. Its
the second-largest private bank in
Turkey. Its well run, and enjoying
strong credit growth. Weve warmed
up to financial stocks generally in
the emerging markets, and the fund
invests in banks in China and India.
What about India?
Indias economy is rebounding
from a hard landing. Its a very
good growth story, and India has
good corporate management. But
stocks arent cheap, because the
Indian stock market began rallying
last year well before the economy
turned around. So were not loading
into that market.

COMPANY
Big buyouts are coming back.
H.J. Heinz, Dell and American Airlines have all
announced multi-billion dollar deals so far in 2013. Its
lucrative to be a shareholder in such a company before the
deal is made: Heinz stock jumped 19.9 percent the day it
said it would sell itself to Berkshire Hathaway and 3G
Capital. Dell jumped 13 percent in one day during January
when a report said that a buyout deal was brewing.
Some investors try to sniff out which companies are next
to be bought in hopes of finding a big payday. Its a
notoriously difficult task, but one side benefit is that
screening for buyout targets is similar to screening for
high-quality companies, says Citi strategist Scott Chronert.
Buyout firms are looking for companies with low debt
whose businesses generate lots of cash, which they can
use to pay down the debt they rack up to buy the company.
This screen from Citi shows small companies that have
low debt relative to their size and earnings, which also
generate strong cash flows per share. Each also has a
Buy rating from Citi analysts.

Rates, yields rise
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note jumped
back above the 2 percent level last week following
stronger-than-expected reports on the economy.
Higher Treasury yields tend to pull up rates on
various consumer loans, and the average rate on
a 30-year fixed mortgage inched up to 3.52 per-
cent from 3.51 percent. However it remains below
where it was a year earlier: 3.88 percent.

Security Income, could be af-
fected, Salmeron said.
SSI is a federal income
supplement program that
helps low-income aged, blind
and disabled people pay for
basic needs.
Unless the parent is paying
rent, if that parent is getting
SSI benets, those benets will
be reduced, Salmeron said.
Thats because SSI treats free
room and board as in-kind sup-
port and maintenance, which
reduces the SSI benet.
In Texas, SSI recipients
are automatically enrolled in
Medicaid, the federal-state
program that helps pay for
health care for the poor.
Texans whose SSI benets
are reduced would still have
Medicaid, but if they lose
their SSI benets completely,
they would also lose Med-
icaid, said Linda Edwards
Gockel, spokeswoman for
the Texas Health and Human
Services Commission.
Food stamps also could be
affected because eligibility
and benet levels are based
on household, not individual,
circumstances, according to the
U.S. Department of Agriculture.
TAX IMPLICATIONS
Under certain limited cir-
cumstances, you may be able to
claim your parents as depen-
dents on your tax return, said
James Smith, CPA at Smith,
Jackson, Boyer & Bovard in
Dallas. You may be able to
deduct medical expenses that
you paid for your parents.
If you charge your parents
rent, you would have to
recognize the rent as income
in your tax return, but then
you could claim a depreciation
deduction for a portion of the
cost of your home, as well as a
portion of the utilities and any
general repairs to the prop-
erty, Smith said.
If you dont charge your par-
ents rent, the free room and
board would be treated as a
gift, but because the total rent
value probably would not ex-
ceed the annual gift exclusion
$14,000 for 2013 you
wouldnt have to report the
gift to the Internal Revenue
Service, he said.
DOCUMENT CHECK
Are your parents estate
planning documents in order?
This includes more than just
a will.
As parents age, adult
children may need to take on
the role of making medical or
nancial decisions, Keener
said. Having an up-to-date
general durable power of
attorney will facilitate man-
aging a parents affairs with
their nancial institutions.
For medical issues, having
a current medical directive,
medical power of attorney,
and HIPAA release (to allow
sharing of your health infor-
mation) is important.
Having access to your par-
ents main bank account also
might be a good idea, Keener
said.
Depending on the parents
ability to manage their nancial
affairs and the relationship be-
tween parent and adult child, it
can sometimes be really helpful
to make the child a joint signer
on the primary bill-paying
checking account, she said.
EMOTIONAL RESPONSE
Are you prepared to deal
with the emotional aspects?
Be prepared to adjust your
expectations of what they re-
member and what they dont
remember, Sears said. Dont
get mad because they forget
things; just be patient.

proof, offering an inexpen-
sive indulgence during tough
economic times.
Candy did not seem to
take the hit that some other
industries faced in recent
years. We think a big reason
for that is candys place in
our hearts and minds, says
Susan Whiteside of the Na-
tional Confectioners Associa-
tion, a trade group.
Long associated with Eas-
ter, Peeps have penetrated
the pop-culture conscious-
ness in a way that other can-
dy brands have not.
Aficionados send chicks
into battle in a microwave
sport known as Peeps joust-
ing. They enter Peeps art
contests, dozens of which are
held around the country this
time of year. They innovate
recipes like Peepza, a des-
ert pizza. They write cheeky
blog entries with titles like
101 Fun Ways to Torture a
Peep.
Hoping to capitalize, Just
Born recently opened three
Peeps & Company retail
stores in Pennsylvania, Mary-
land and Minnesota.
While the company churns
out more than 1 billion Peeps
this Easter season - a record
- it sees the 60th anniversary
as another marketing oppor-
tunity and a chance to con-
nect with its fans via social
media. In addition to the TV
ad campaign, its promoting
a Facebook survey that asks
knowing questions like this
one: Do you like your Peeps
fresh, frozen, or aged to per-
fection?
So which is it, Ross Born?
Fresh or stale?
Hes happy to address that
perennial Peeps debate. Just
dont ask him to take sides.
Theres a lot of gray area
here, Born says diplomati-
cally. There are people who
tell me they put a one-inch
slice in the film (that seals
the box), and theyll lay it on
top of their refrigerator for
two days. No more, no less.
Then they are PERFECT to
eat.
So its not necessarily
stale, its just a little firmer.
All right? Its just like poli-
tics, says Just Borns com-
mander-in-Peep. Youve got
people way on one side, and
way on the other side, but
there are a whole lot of peo-
ple in the middle.

a Facebook account. But then she started
getting pop-up ads, maybe through email,
that sneered, Three people have unfriend-
ed you. Find out more.
First of all, when did unfriend become
a verb? Was it around the time parent-
ing or scrapbooking, which was after
partying but before vocalizing, which
is now the word my students use instead
of employing the word say as ordinary
speakers of English might, umm, say.
Anyway, this friend of mine was plagued
(good noun-to-verb usage) by the thought
that three people didnt like her. She was
awake at night at the thought of being
dismissed from a vague network of people
who she might never know. This, perhaps,
could be the new denition of insane,
dont you think? The idea that youre afraid
people that you dont know might not like
you? I mean, if you had somebody youd
never met come up to you on the street,
grab you by the collar shout Did you
unfriend me? wouldnt your instinct be to
call a cop?
Yet having the experience of people who
dare to unfriend you is a nothing compared
to the recent gang-shaming experience
provided by Linked-In. They sent out mes-
sages congratulating folks for being at
the top of their searches. A relative was the
rst to forward me one with self-effacing
pride. He emailed me a note where the
subject line read: Guess Im not too shab-
by after all. And in the body of the email
was a notice that his name was in the top 5
percent of last years Linked-In searches.
Ill admit I was impressed. I wrote him
back an effusive letter telling him that it
was clear from this recognition that his
hard work as a freelancer had nally paid
off. I actually wrote the words, Thats
some pretty exclusive club, the top 5 per-
cent. He answered with blushing thanks
and was clearly what the English would
have called, chuffed.
Imagine my surprise, then, when two
days later I got a notice saying that my
name had come up in the top 10 percent
of Linked-In searches. Ive never won a
prize for self-effacement but even I was
skeptical. I turned to Facebook to air my
questions. Anybody else get into the top
10 percent? I asked.
Turns out that all of them, even those
from Pluto and North Dakota, were at the
top of LinkedIn searches. It was sort of like
nding out that a cute boy had written,
Youre the most adorable creature ever
on everybodys yearbook page when all the
time youd been secretly cherishing the
idea that you, and you alone (or at least
you among only the top 10 percent) were
chosen only to discover that what you
thought was a unique signature was pretty
much a rubber stamp.
And this is what I mean about making
you feel like youre back in high school.
Social networking sites from Face-
book to Pinterest to StumbleUpon are
very much like high school: As conducive
as they are to the creation of community,
they are simultaneously the cause of
anxiety, bizarre competitions and weirdly
contorted denitions of success.
How is getting an ad saying youve been
unfriended different from the experience
of having a person youve never met before
come up to you between algebra and gym
and whisper in your ear I hear a certain
person doesnt like you anymore before
scuttling, crab-like, back to their locker?
So what can we do about this? How can
we stop feeling adolescent as soon as we
face the screen?
Maybe we should screen the screen:
The word once meant to divide, protect,
separate. Maybe we should remember
that and not use it as a mirror.

F YOU NEED to see some-
thing to bolster the notion
that government can some-
times do things right, con-
sider going online to visit the
Luzerne County Manager link
at luzernecounty.org.
As noted in a Saturday article
in The Times Leader, one of the
fundamental problems with the
new elected council/appointed
manager form of government
is that said manager -- currently
Robert Lawton -- can conduct a
great deal of business out of the
public eye.
Under the new government
charter approved by voters in
2010 and implemented at the
start of last year, many actions
that previously required a public
vote by the three county com-
missioners under the old form
of government now rest in the
hands of the appointed manager.
The idea was simple: Take such
decisions out of the hands of pol-
iticians and put them in the do-
main of a professional manager.
While this made some sense,
it means the public does not see
elected ofcials voting on many
contracts and personnel actions,
which in turn means such ac-
tions could get buried in the
managers ofce. To Lawtons
credit -- and to the credit of the
11-member council -- that has
not happened.
Lawton has begun using the
countys website to post a wide
array of information. Want to
read contracts he approveed?
They are a few mouse clicks
away. Want to know who was
hired, promoted, moved to a
new position, got laid off, re-
signed or retired? Its all there.
You can even dive into the
arcane world of budget trans-
fers, the common yet obscure
practice of shifting money from
one budget area to another.
Lawton has posted the budget
transfer requests, including an
explanation of the reason.
While much of this was tech-
nically public under the old
three-commissioner systerm be-
cause it had to be voted on at a
public meeting, it was often un-
explained and rarely, if ever, ac-
cessible outside those meetings
or outside the courthouse. Quite
the contrary, it routinely seemed
as if county commissioners and
other ofcials -- with a few ex-
ceptions -- had to be dragged
reluctantly into the Internet age.
Lawtons efforts are not per-
fect. The information is not al-
ways posted as quickly as one
would like, and some data would
be better presented in different
formats (spreadsheets would be
handy for les wiht many col-
umns of numbers).
But the effort is commend-
able, and council should encour-
age such web access throughout
the courthouse. Municipalities
and school districts that dont al-
ready post copious information
online should emulate Lawtons
efforts. Considering how heav-
ily tarnished the county was in
the federal corruption probe, it
is well past time the county be-
came a leader in transparency.
For too long, area politicians
have cloaked themselves behind
the claim that it was voted on
at a public meeting, without
making the it readily available
to the public through the web.
True accountability requires
more than public meetings. It
requires public access.
Our OpiniOn: aCCEss tO rECOrds
Kudos to county
for public access
Now is the time for a sports hero to speak up, exit closet
NOW IS the time
Martin Luther King,
Aug. 28, 1963.
Brendon Ayanbadejo is
wrong. It is painful to say
that. Ayanbadejos heart
is in a good place and the
advice he gave last week
on MSNBCs The Ed Show was practical
and well intentioned. But mainly, yes, it
was wrong.
Heres the back story. It seems NFL
prospect Nick Kasa recently told ESPN
Radio that he was asked in an interview
with a team he wont specify whether he is
married, if he has a girlfriend and whether
he likes girls. It was a spectacularly stupid
line of inquiry for two reasons.
One: It has nothing to do with his abili-
ties as a football player.
Two: Its fresh evidence of the NFLs es-
trangement from the 21st century, coming
as it does in the wake of Chris Culliver of
the San Francisco 49ers repeat: the San
Francisco 49ers dismissing the notion
of a gay player by saying, Cant be with
that sweet stuff. Nah, cant be in the locker
room.
Enter Ayanbadejo, a Baltimore Ravens
linebacker and outspoken proponent of
gay rights. What, he was asked, should a
prospective player do if he is gay and some
team asks if he likes girls? Ayanbadejos
advice? Lie.
I think players need to say that theyre
straight right now, he said. You need to
get drafted as high as you can get drafted,
get the money while you can.
Maybe later, he added, once you
establish yourself and when we break down
some of these walls in the NFL, then play-
ers will be more comfortable to really be
who they are. Eventually, he said, perhaps
football will see our Jackie Robinson, our
pioneer for gay rights and equality.
But the thing is, Jackie Robinson did not
come along after the walls had been broken
down. He was the one swinging the sledge-
hammer. The idea that progress must wait
for an opportune time, that a trailblazer
should defer trailblazing till he makes some
money, reects a misunderstanding of what
social change is and how it is made.
Truth is, the timing is never right in
the view of those whose prerogatives and
prejudices are challenged. Martin Luther
King once said hed never participated in
a campaign that someone didnt consider
ill-timed.
So that closeted gay football star, that
closeted basketball, hockey or baseball
player still trying to prove he likes girls,
ought to be guided less by the words of
Brendon Ayanbadejo than by the words of
an old childrens singsong:
Come out, come out, wherever you are.
That is, yes, a very easy thing to say
if youre not the one being asked to risk
money, career, ostracism, family, maybe
even physical intimidation. But if heroism
were without risk, everybody would be a
hero.
And that is exactly what the active player
in one of the four major sports who comes
out of the closet right now will be. He will
debunk the bassackward thinking of the
Chris Cullivers of the world and become a
beacon for every high school quarterback,
two guard and rst baseman now living
alone and scared in the prison of a secret
sexuality. He might even save that childs
life.
In his rst speech as leader of the Mont-
gomery bus boycott, Martin Luther King
said, There comes a time when people
get tired He could not speak again for
20 seconds. At that simple statement, his
audience erupted, overwhelming him with
shouts and cries releasing the pent-up frus-
tration and swallowed-down rage of people
whod nally had their ll of the everyday
indignities and petty humiliations of their
lives.
What we are waiting on, then, is not
some mythical moment when the timing
is right for a gay athlete. Rather, what we
are waiting on is an athlete who has gotten
tired. Tired enough to take a risk, tired
enough to be brave.
Because when people get that tired,
change comes. And then the timing takes
care of itself.

OMEN HAVE won
the right to serve
alongside men on
the front lines of
Americas wars. That has caused
some people to ask: Shouldnt
women have to register for the
draft, just like the men they
serve next to? A better question:
Isnt it time to end the Selective
Service altogether?
The United States once con-
sidered it the duty of every male
citizen to serve in a national
emergency. Young men were
conscripted into the military
during the Civil War, World War
I, World War II and the conicts
in Korea and Vietnam.
The draft ended in 1973, and
draft registration stopped in
1975. The Selective Service,
but not the draft, was reinstated
in 1980 to show American re-
solve after the 1979 Soviet in-
vasion of Afghanistan.
Today, every man between
the ages of 18 and 25 must reg-
ister with the Selective Service.
Young men who dont register
are denied federal loans and are
barred in most states from en-
tering state universities. Failure
to register for the nonexistent
draft is a felony that can destroy
careers.
For what? To perpetuate an
unnecessary federal agency, pro-
tect 130 jobs and shield lawmak-
ers from appearing to be weak
on national security.
Times have changed. There is
no shortage of recruits for Amer-
icas volunteer military, despite
protracted U.S. engagements in
Afghanistan and Iraq.
Registration and the draft are
archaic remnants of a time when
huge armies fought wars along
delineated battle fronts. Todays
military more often consists of
small, specialized strike forces,
air strikes and, increasingly,
targeted attacks by unmanned
drones.
Maintaining the Selective
Service system costs taxpayers
$24 million a year. Thats a tiny
amount in the federal budget,
but still a potential savings.
Americas all-volunteer mili-
tary has been a resounding
success. Ending the Selective
Service system would merely
recognize that reality.

Its very important people know
what kind of information is out there
and the stuff they are doing drops
digital footprints they dont know
about. That information can be used in
ways people dont want.
Jonathan Weber
The computer security expert from Marathon Studios, Inc. explained how eas-
ily information posted online through social media websites can be used with
criminal intent.
SEQUESTRA-
TION is not
the best time
to be doling
out foreign
aid, an un-
popular item
in the federal
budget. Especially when the
recipient is President Mohamed
Morsi of Egypt.
Morsi is intent on getting the
release of Omar Abdel-Rahman
(the Blind Sheik), serving a life
sentence for masterminding the
1993 World Trade Center attack
that killed six and wounded
more than a thousand. Morsis
Muslim Brotherhood is openly
anti-Christian, anti-Semitic
and intolerant. Just three years
ago, Morsi called on Egyptians
to nurse their children and
grandchildren on hatred for
Jews, whom he has called the
descendants of apes and pigs.
Not exactly Albert Sch-
weitzer. Or even Anwar Sadat.
Which left a bad taste when
Secretary of State John Kerry,
traveling to Cairo, handed
Morsi a cool $250 million.
Nonetheless, we should not
cut off aid to Egypt. Its not that
we must blindly support un-
friendly regimes. It is perfectly
reasonable to cut off aid to
governments that are intrinsi-
cally hostile and beyond our
inuence.
But Egypt is not an enemy,
certainly not yet. It may no
longer be our strongest Arab
ally, but it is still in play. The
Brotherhood aims to establish
an Islamist dictatorship. Yet it
remains a considerable distance
from having done so.
Precisely why we should
remain engaged, which means
using our economic leverage.
Morsi has signicant opposi-
tion. Six weeks ago, powerful
anti-Brotherhood demonstra-
tions broke out in major cities
and have continued sporadi-
cally ever since. The presiden-
tial election that Morsi won was
decided quite narrowly, despite
the Brotherhoods advantage
of superior organization and a
history of social service.
Moreover, having forever
been in opposition, the Is-
lamists escaped blame for the
state of the country. Now in
power, they bear responsibility
for Egypts miserable conditions
a collapsing economy, rising
crime, social instability. Their
aura is dissipating.
There is nothing inevitable
about Brotherhood rule. The
problem is that the secular
democratic parties are fractured
and lacking in leadership. And
are repressed by the increas-
ingly authoritarian Morsi.
His partisans have attacked
demonstrators in Cairo. His
security forces killed more than
40 in Port Said. Hes been ha-
rassing journalists, suppressing
freedom of speech, inltrating
the military and trying to sub-
jugate the courts. Hes already
rammed through an Islamist
constitution. He is trying to
tilt parliamentary elections to
the point that the opposition
called for a boycott and a court
suspended of the vote.
Any foreign aid should be
contingent upon a reversal of
this repression and a granting
of space to secular, democratic,
pro-Western elements.
Thats where Kerry commit-
ted his mistake. Not in trying to
use dollar diplomacy to lever-
age Egyptian behavior, but by
exercising that leverage almost
exclusively for economic, rather
than political, reform.
Kerrys major objective was
getting Morsi to apply for
a $4.8 billion loan from the
International Monetary Fund.
Considering that some of this
$4.8 billion ultimately comes
from us, theres a certain comic
circularity to this demand.
What kind of concession is it
when a foreign government is
coerced into taking yet more
of our money?
We have no particular stake
in Egypts economy. Our stake
is in its politics. Yes, we would
like to see a strong economy.
But in a country ruled by the
Muslim Brotherhood?
Our interest is in a non-
Islamist, nonrepressive,
nonsectarian Egypt, ruled as
democratically as possible.
Why should we want a vibrant
economy that maintains the
Brotherhood in power?
If were going to give foreign
aid, it should be for political
concessions on unfettered
speech, on an opposition free of
repression, on alterations to the
Islamist constitution, on open
and fair elections.
We give foreign aid for two
reasons: (a) to support allies
who share our values and our
interests, and (b) to extract
from less-than-friendly regimes
concessions that either bring
their policies more in line with
ours or strengthen competing
actors more favorably inclined
toward American objectives.
Thats the point of foreign
aid. Its particularly important
in countries like Egypt whose
fate is in the balance. But it will
only work if we remain clear-
eyed about why we give all that
money in the rst place.

Treasure hunt in New Mexico is one mans legacy
WHEN WAS the last time
you went treasure hunt-
ing? At summer camp?
Digging through a Cracker
Jack box?
This past week, thou-
sands of budding treasure
seekers were so inspired,
they crashed the website of a multimillion-
aire art dealer from New Mexico. His name
is Forrest Fenn. He is 82. And he claims to
have hidden a chest lled with millions of
dollars worth of gold coins and gems.
The chest is buried somewhere in New
Mexico. The clues are in a poem. The poem
can be found in Fenns self-published book.
The book is available primarily through one
New Mexico bookstore. And thanks to
an appearance on the Today show that
book was in the top 100 on Amazon.com
last week.
Which may be the rst time a treasure
map made more money than the treasure.
If I have a motive in this, Fenn told
me Friday, its to get kids off the couch
and away from their game machines and to
smell the sun and have a little fun out in
the trees.
He doesnt want fame. He has no plans to
reclaim the chest. He simply wants Ameri-
cans moving, exploring, seeing the beauty
of the environment.
And maybe digging it up.
I think Fenn is fascinating. A self-admit-
ted thrill seeker, he joined the Air Force,
ew missions in Vietnam, stayed in the
service for 20 years and later became a suc-
cessful art dealer. He also survived a cancer
scare. They gave him a 20 percent chance
to live.
After that, I thought, Ive had so much
fun in the last 75 years nding things, if Ive
got to go, let me leave a heritage for other
people to do as I did, he said.
And so Fenn, a lifelong collector of things
precious and quirky said he stuffed a
chest with gold and jewels, carried it to a se-
cret destination and hid it forever. He hopes
others have as much fun searching the land
as he has had.
Now. I can hear you screaming. GIVE
US SOME CLUES! Well, rst of all, I have
read Fenns poem, and if you think, based
on that, you can spot a location in the fth
biggest state in the country (nearly 122,000
square miles) good luck. Heres a sample:
Begin it where warm waters halt
And take it in the canyon down,
Not far, but too far to walk.
Put in below the home of Brown.
From there its no place for the meek,
The end is ever drawing nigh;
Therell be no paddle up your creek,
Just heavy loads and water high.
Got that?
See you there tomorrow!
Ive gotten 8,300 e-mails, Fenn said.
What do most of them want? I asked.
More clues.
Its funny. Most people hide treasure to
keep it from someone. Fenn really wants
someone to nd his but only after many
have trekked to look for it.
They didnt nd the Rosetta Stone for
2,000 years, he pointed out.
Admittedly, this is a unique way to moti-
vate outdoor living. On the one hand, you
get all these people in the mountains and
streams. On the other hand, as soon as they
nd the treasure, they might buy a mansion
and never come out except to adjust the
satellite TV.
But Fenn calls his book The Thrill of
the Chase and to me, thats where the real
value of a hidden treasure lies.
Think about the word search. Whats
the rst thing that comes to mind today?
Google, right? A computer screen. A key-
board.
But once upon a time, search was a loft-
ier word. It implied going somewhere, mak-
ing an effort or a journey. You know. Like
Lord of the Rings. They didnt commence
their epic quest by punching in keywords.
Some think Fenn is making this whole
thing up. I dont. But I can tell you this: If
the worst that happens is a few thousand
people traipse around the natural splendor
of New Mexico, its not so bad. They might
even nd that the hunt for one thing led
them to something else.
A pretty famous Bible quote suggests for
where your treasure is, there your heart will
be also. My guess is that Fenn is hoping
the seekers of his treasure have their hearts
distracted by something else, the joy of the
pursuit and the beauty of the landscape.
Thats worth its weight in gold.

Caution advised
for contraceptive
E
llaOne is said to be an
emergency contraceptive
(taken just days after love-
making). Jill Staneck in On
the Path to Over-The-Counter
Abortions, says that, ellaOne
operates similarly to RU486 or
the abortion pill.
EllaOne and RU486 are con-
sidered progesterone blockers.
A progesterone blocker stops
progesterone from arriving at
the uterus. When it is blocked,
the lining of the uterus and
the baby die. EllaOne causes
an abortion in the same way
as a drug that is admittedly
an abortion drug or an aborti-
facient. So why call it emer-
gency contraception?
Pro-abortion folks say
pregnant women should move
rapidly and take ellaOne after
unprotected intercourse. Why
rush matters and make a deci-
sion, as it might revisit you
throughout your life? It doesnt
matter if you kill a life up to
5 days (ellaOnes prescription
information) or up to 49 days
after the rst day of a womans
period (RU486 prescription
information). Killing a child at
any point is not an unhindered
opportunity.

Reader adds more
to abortion debate
I
didnt see or read Mr. So-
rensons letter referred to by
John W. Mihalchik, Jr., on Feb.
8, 2013. I do want to respond
to Mr. Mihalchiks letter.
Mr. Mihalchik took excep-
tion to Mr. Sorensons urging
President Obama to stop
ignoring God. Apparently Mr.
Mihalchick is unaware the
president has ignored God by
virtue of his condoning and
supporting the murder (abor-
tion) of innocent babies in the
mothers womb and partially
out of the womb.
Throughout the presidents
political life he has been
supporting the evil Planned
Parenthood.
You see, Mr. Mihalchick, Sa-
tan is the epitome of evil, while
God is the epitome of love.
God created the world, you
and I, and everything we have.
Isnt that reason to know him
and love him?
You stated you couldnt
escape God/Jesus/Yahweh if
you wanted to. Why would you
want to, John?
You stated if Thomas Jef-
ferson came back, he would be
outraged. How do you know?
I believe he would be elated
that such adversity of minds by
the grace of God established
the greatest nation in world
history.
You asked the readers what
they were doing personally to
prevent school shootings, writ-
ing congressmen to ban assault
ries, helping the handicapped,
donating money or sitting wait-
ing for God to do it.
Noticeably, absent was not
telling the readers what you
were doing. Why?
God bless you and America.

Stronger response
for animal cruelty
I
t is very difcult for me to
imagine anyone capable of
abusing an animal.
On Thursday, Feb. 7 there
were published reports about a
dog tied to the back bumper of
a car and dragged over a mile.
He was just four months old.
I believe the punishment for
mistreating an animal is not
harsh enough; perhaps if the
punishment was severe people
would stop abusing animals.
This puppy had a nearly sev-
ered ear, a severe head wound
and other injuries. He had to
have his ear removed. Now
there is a possibility the owner
who did this terrible thing
might be getting him back.
He should not be allowed
to have this puppy returned to
him.

This EPA nominee
deserves vote
W
ith the prevalence of
bipartisan bickering in
Washington, Gina McCarthy is
an excellent choice to lead the
U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
Before joining the Obama ad-
ministration, McCarthy worked
for ve Republican governors
and has a history of working
with all stakeholders to develop
pragmatic and cost-effective
safeguards to protect public
health and reduce pollution.
McCarthys nomination rein-
forces President Obamas inten-
tion to adopt scientic, rather
than ideological, solutions to
environmental, public health,
and climate issues.
The Senate easily conrmed
McCarthy by a voice vote in
2009 to head the clean air divi-
sion of the EPA. Her experi-
ence with the development of
historic clean air protections
makes her well equipped to
lead the agency that not only
protects our air, but also our
water and climate. She de-
serves the support of senators
on both sides of the aisle so
she can get to the important
work that needs to be done.

Just say whoa to
meat on the menu
L
ast week, food safety of-
cials in United Kingdom,
France, and Sweden found
traces of horse meat in ground
beef sold across Europe. Mas-
sive recalls and lawsuits are
ensuing.
Can it happen here? Horse
slaughter for human consump-
tion was banned in the U.S. be-
tween 2007 and 2011. But now,
a New Mexico slaughterhouse
is getting approved by U.S.
authorities to slaughter horses
for human consumption, and
a Philadelphia restaurant has
already announced plans to
serve horse meat.
I marvel at our hypocrisy of
rejecting the notion of horse
or dog meat on our dinner
plates, while condemning
cows, pigs, and chickens to the
same fate. Obviously, we have
established special relation-
ships with horses and dogs as
our companions, protectors,
and sports protagonists, rather
than as food. But where is the
ethical and logical distinction,
given that all these animals
are endowed by individuality,
sentience, and an ability to
experience the same feelings
of joy, affections, sadness, and
fear that we do?
Fortunately, our health
food industry has spared us
from having to choose which
animals to pet and which ones
to eat. Their delicious soy and
grain-based meat alternatives
are available in every super-
market.

ANOTHER VIEW
Sometimes, nature helps ll the biggest shoes with small wonders
If I have a motive in this, Fenn told me
Friday, its to get kids off the couch
and away from their game machines and
to smell the sun and have a little fun out
in the trees.
What goes up, still
must come down
W
hen I heard of this saying
as a kid, I immediately
thought of a rock being thrown
in the air.
As many of you probably
know, the U.S. Post Ofce in-
creased mailing rates. Most
customers know that the price of
a rst class stamp and a postcard
stamp increased by one penny.
What many of you dont know is
the postal service increased rates
across the board. Express Mail
rates over one dollar, priority
mail increased 45 cents, certied
mail was hiked 15 cents, and
post ofce box rent in Wilkes-
Barre rose one dollar.
You may ask what went
down? That part is easy. Just
walk into the Wilkes-Barre Post
Ofce or some of its branches
and you will see customer
service sank to all time lows.
I dont mean the clerk behind
the counter is not providing
the service, it is the number of
clerks that sticks out. For those
of you that know me from visit-
ing Wilkes-Barre I am one of
the few left behind the counter.
The postal service offered an
early out incentive to post ofce
employees, but didnt bother to
replace the full-time employees
who decided to take them up on
their offer.
The Wilkes-Barre service
counter was once manned by
six clerks. This past week, I
was one of only three clerks to
work the service counter, being
by myself for the most part of
Friday and Saturday.
As president of the local
employee union, I warned man-
agement in Wilkes-Barre and
in Harrisburg that come Jan.
31 there would not be enough
clerks to serve the public.
They didnt care then, and it is
obvious they dont care about
customer service now. If you
frequent the Wilkes-Barre Post
Ofce you know the average
wait time to be served is close
to 30 minutes. The funny part
to this whole stafng issue is
the post ofce has a mandatory
requirement of no more than a
ve minute wait in line.
Who suffers? Everybody!
Customers are forced to long
wait times while the employee
is ridiculed by irate customers.
Customers who have service-
related problems cannot talk
to a customer service supervi-
sor. Clerks are told to take the
customer name and phone
number and tell the customer
that someone will get back
to them. Why cant customer
service supervisors take care of
customer problems? Supervi-
sors are performing work on the
workroom oor and delivering
express mail because there are
not enough clerks staffed in
Wilkes-Barre. Customers have
complained they have left mes-
sages for passport appointments
but never get a call back and
when calling for mailing issues
nobody answers. Now could
they when they are out on the
road?
It is only going to get worse
before it gets better. With the
planned consolidation of mail
processing from the Scranton
Post Ofce to the Lehigh Valley
Post Ofce this month, we are
expecting a delay in mail service
to your mailbox. Please contact
your local political leaders,
mayor, congressmen, senators,
and representatives and demand
that since rates went up, the bull
crap must come down!

THERE IS
good reason
for Americas
love-hate
relationship
with the
liberal arts in
college. For
many years, the intellectual
elite and the pragmatists have
squared off against one another
inside and outside of academe
about the value of the liberal
arts. It now appears that those
who believe a college education
should provide practical and
employable skills have popular
opinion with them. The current
employment rate and rising
college debt are enhancing the
argument for a practical college
education. Finding a good rst
job is of great concern to those
graduating from college. The
thought of doing so without
requisite employable skills is
freighting for many.
For students who choose
to major in one of the liberal
arts, the career rewards are
usually not allocated based
on the major itself, but rather
the intellectual rigor in apply-
ing the analytical framework
of the discipline in practical
areas such as business. These
undergraduate degrees also
provide an outstanding plat-
form for critical thinking and
the foundation for graduate
work in a specic discipline or
in a professional eld, such as
medicine or law.
Perhaps there is still too
much being made of the trade-
offs between a four-year liberal
arts degree and a career-focused
one. The benets of a good
liberal arts education can be
effectively combined with
practical career orientation and
a well-designed curriculum.
That is the case at Misericordia
University.
Based on the tradition of
graduating students who serve
humankind, the University has
educated high-skilled nurses
since l944. Misericordias
tradition in the health sciences
was expanded in 1973 with
the introduction of one of the
countrys only medical imag-
ing programs at a four-year
college, Our commitment to
the health sciences increased
with the introduction of
undergraduate-plus-masters
(ve-year) programs in occupa-
tional therapy, physical therapy,
speech-language pathology, and
physician assistant. All of these
elds require a masters degree
before a graduate can practice,
and now a 6-year clinical doc-
torate in physical therapy.
Driven signicantly by an
outstanding reputation of high
board pass rates and graduate
success in the health and medi-
cal sciences elds, Misericor-
dias enrollment has grown in
the last 14 years from a little
more than 1,000 students to
more than 1,900 full-time
students and 1,200 part-time
students.
This growth occurred
despite wavering and declining
enrollment trends at similar
institutions. Last year, when
many institutions experi-
enced decreased enrollment,
Misericordias freshman class
increased from 370 students to
510.
Entering SAT and ACT
scores also continue to in-
crease, while the institutions
discount rate has remained
moderate relative to that of
competing institutions. Reten-
tion rates have been among the
best of any similarly sized in-
stitution. The result has been a
signicant increase in reserves,
resulting in scal stability not
shared by many others.
Does rapid growth in the
health sciences mean that the
liberal arts have been aban-
doned? No. All Misericordia
students are required to com-
plete a core curriculum which
includes courses in philosophy,
history, religion, science, math-
ematics, English, and other
traditional subjects. The result
is a well-rounded undergradu-
ate experience.
The result of this mixture of
liberal arts and professionally
focused curriculum is a gradu-
ate who is not only employable,
but exible. Misericordia gradu-
ates often assume well-paying
jobs as practitioners in the
health sciences and many other
elds. Because of their strong
liberal arts background, they
are rapidly elevated to manage-
ment positions in hospitals,
rehabilitation facilities, and
related for-prot and non-prot
businesses.
Of course, maintaining viable
liberal arts departments for
the health science majors and
the 55 percent of Misericordia
students enrolled in other ma-
jors is not an easy task. Good
faculty in the liberal arts and
sciences need to maintain and
grow the number of students in
their own departments as well.
One way Misericordia has
accomplished this goal is to
continue to expand its Division
III and intercollegiate sports
programs. The University
made the strategic decision
to bring football to campus in
2010 because, as NCAA data
showed, many Division III
football players choose to study
subjects other than the health
and medical sciences. The
result has been an increase in
majors such as English, history,
communications, biology, and
other liberal arts and sciences
at Misericordia.
The decision to emphasize
the health sciences at Miseri-
cordia was made 12 years ago.
We believed it made good
strategic sense to make a well-
focused effort in the rapidly
growing health and medical
sciences elds. American demo-
graphics were on our side.
Baby Boomers provide a
plethora of patients for health
and medical science profession-
als. The rapidly growing cost
of medical care, along with the
shortage of M.D.s and D.O.s,
and the hesitancy of private
insurance and Medicare to con-
tinue to fund physician services
for routine procedures, created
a growing niche for a small
university to produce quality
health care professionals.
The downside of the health
and medical science focus is
the expense of these programs.
These nationally accredited
programs are limited in enroll-
ment by their accrediting asso-
ciations. Salaries for faculty and
other professionals are high.
However, the programs attract
excellent students who are will-
ing to stay at Misericordia for
an undergraduate and graduate
degree, creating the enviable
enrollment patterns.
Perhaps most satisfying is
that health science and liberal
arts faculty have worked coop-
eratively to create a solid liberal
arts core as the foundation for
all Misericordia students, in-
cluding of course the health
and medical science majors.
Can a good core curriculum
of 50-plus hours provide all that
is necessary to be considered
liberally educated? The answer
is probably no. If, on the other
hand, the purpose of a liberal
arts education is to provide
students with a solid struc-
ture for what a well-educated
person should know, and instill
in them a spirit of inquiry
and the willingness to be a
lifelong learner, then the basic
liberal arts education has been
achieved. The result is gradu-
ates who are able to reect,
reason well and critically, and
have the passion to continue to
learn. After all, isnt that what a
good college education should
be about?

Charming Victorian home located in lovely Forty Fort
Photos and Story by Hartt Lang
Advertising Projects Writer
Built by descendants of the earliest
settlers of Forty Fort, this charming
Victorian home is located in a great
neighborhood; and it is minutes away
from downtown Kingston and Wilkes-
Barre, Interstates 81 and 309.
Listed by Jay Crossin of
Crossin Real Estate, this home is
priced at $199,900 and offers 2,730
square feet of space. Amenities
include a walk-up attic, cable
television, ceiling fans, screened
porch, and a toolshed.
The exterior home is vinyl
with light blue accents. Black accent
shutters are on the front facing
windows of the home. A sidewalk
leads to a large front porch with
wrap-around railing. Off-street
parking is in the rear and plenty of
street parking is also available.
Magnificent double doors
lead to the entry foyer. A unique
Dutch door opens to the front of the
home. A 25x13 living room is
adjacent to the foyer. Natural light
pours through large, high windows.
A gas fireplace, a focal point in the
room, surrounded with antique,
ceramic tiles is sure to be a place for
friends and family to gather.
Across from the living room
is a 13.5 x 13.5 formal dining room.
Large windows let light into the
room, along with a lovely hanging
light fixture. Sliding wooden pocket
doors provide privacy.
Next to the dining room is a
family room that measures
13.10x12.8. This cozy space has a
pellet stove; sure to keep you warm
through the chilly months of winter.
Further down the carpeted
hallway is a recently remodeled 24x14
kitchen. This room has ample
cupboard space for kitchen storage,
new countertops, recessed lighting
and a ceiling fan.
A shelved greenhouse
window is placed above the kitchen
sink. A grill is built into the
countertop adjacent to the stove.
Near the stove is a double oven that is
built into a wall. Cupboards are built
into the wall near the dining area,
bringing even more storage into the
room.
Near the kitchen is a tiled
7x3 half bathroom. Stairs in the
kitchen lead to a stone and concrete
dry basement.
A door in the kitchen leads
to a 3-season screened porch.
