HARRISBURG A House
panel Monday took the rst
step toward getting Pennsyl-
vania out of the liquor busi-
ness.
The House Liquor Commit-
tee on a 14-10 vote approved
a bill that
would phase
out the 619
state-owned
stores and
create 1,200
wine and
spirits licens-
es for private
businesses.
Re publ i -
can Gov. Tom Corbett called
it a momentous rst step
to bring Pennsylvania into
the 21st Century and pro-
vide Pennsylvanians with the
convenience and choice that
Americans in 48 other states
enjoy.
Democrats on the panel
contended the bill was being
rushed through without hear-
ings. Two separate efforts to
halt the bill and hold hearings
were defeated along party
lines.
Rep. Ted Harhai, D-West-
moreland, said beer distribu-
tors operated under one set
of rules for decades and now
that is being changed. Im
very, very concerned about
our beer distributors as we
know them today, Harhai
said. He said ve out of six
distributors in his area are not
interested in selling wine.
Democrats also said the
burden on state police for en-
forcement is being expanded
without additional funding
for more troopers working
out of the Liquor Control
Boards Liquor Enforcement
Bureau. Liquor chairman
John Taylor, R-Philadelphia,
said that issue could be dealt
with as warranted in the state
budget.

olis, tried to ban campaign

The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
Corbett
Saying it is unable to recon-
cile the accounts, the receiver
appointed to oversee the dis-
solution of the Centax-Don
Wilkinson tax-collection agen-
cy is asking a judge to approve
a plan that would allow it to
forgo efforts to locate thou-
sands of people who are owed
more than $347,000 in tax re-
funds prior to 2011.
In a recent court motion,
the receiver, the Campbell &
Levine law rm of Pittsburgh,
said it would take numerous
people many months to try to
determine who is owed mon-
ey, and even then a signicant
amount of the funds could not
be identied or traced. The
rm has proposed instead that
the funds be transferred to an
account that will be used to
pay various creditors who have
claims against Centax.
The proposed order also
calls for part of an additional
$400,000 in tax refunds owed
to individual taxpayers to be
used to cover a shortfall in an-
other Centax account that held
earned income taxes that are
owed to dozens of municipali-
ties and school districts state-
wide.
If approved, the order would
affect anyone who is owed a
refund from Centax from 2002
to 2010, but who, for some rea-
son, never received the check,
or received it and did not cash
it. It will not affect anyone who
is owed a refund from the 2011
tax year. Those were processed
and paid out by Berkheimer &
Associates, which took over
Centaxs accounts after it
ceased operations in August.
John Deremer, a vice presi-
dent with Berkheimer, said
the rm has processed those
returns and has a list of all tax-
payers who did not cash their
2011 refund checks. Those
taxpayers will be reissued new

If you never received or cashed

THE HOTEL STERLING: City Hall will
temporarily house a glass display case
of memorabilia
WILKES-BARRE The Ho-
tel Sterling building cant be
saved, but its history will be.
The city is creating a per-
manent display about the
once-glorious
hotel. Drew
McLaughlin,
the citys ad-
mi ni strati ve
coordi nator,
said a glass
display case
will be on the
rst oor of
City Hall and
will contain
photographs,
p o s t c a r d s ,
news articles and other histori-
cally signicant items of the
Hotel Sterling for public display
until the building on River and
Market streets is demolished
and a new development is com-
pleted.
At that time, the case will
be transferred to the site of the
former building within the new
development, McLaughlin said.
This permanent display is a
condition of the citys agreement
with the Pennsylvania Historic
(and Museum) Commission.
Ann Saey, historic preserva-
tion specialist for the Historic
Commission, said the consulta-
tion process is required by fed-
eral law when funds are used
for the demolition or develop-
ment of a historic site. She said

The citys Ofce of Community Development is putting together an exhibit of articles, photos
and other historical items of the Hotel Sterling for display in a glass case.
A lasting legacy
for a grand hotel
WASHINGTON The Su-
preme Court argued Monday
over whether states ghting
voter fraud and illegal immigra-
tion can make people document
their U.S. citizenship before al-
lowing them to use a federal
voter registration system that
was designed to make it easier
to vote.
Several justices questioned
whether Arizona and other
states have the right to force
people to document their citi-
zenships when Congress didnt
require it in ordering states to
accept and use the Motor Vot-
er registration card. But other
justices said states should be
able to police the citizenship
of voters because the federal
government asks people to only
swear on paper that theyre U.S.
citizens.
This is proof? This is not
proof at all, said Justice Anto-
nin Scalia, who sounded skepti-
cal of the opponents of Arizonas
law.
But lawyer Patricia Millett,
representing those challenging
the law, answered that courts
accept sworn statements as
proof in criminal cases, some of
which end in executions. Its a
very serious oath, she said.
Congress decided a sworn
statement with the risk of per-
jury was sufcient to register to
vote in the federal system, she
said. This is not just a ticket
into the states own registration

the purpose of the discussions
between the Historic Commis-
sion and the city is to mitigate
an acceptable way to preserve
the history of the building and
to ease the adverse effects of the
demolition.
The purpose of creating the
display is to assure that people
will remember part of their his-
tory of a building that is not
physically there anymore, Saf-
ley said. Ive been in the build-
ing, and Im very much aware of
the sad condition that it is in.
McLaughlin said the Ster-
ling is located within the River
Street Historic District.
In order to demolish such a
building, we need to conform
to PHMC guidelines and get
their approval, McLaughlin
said. Thats why we executed
the memorandum of agreement
with them, and one of the condi-
tions was a permanent display.
This is procedure. HUD will
only require that we have sat-
ised PHMC before release of
funds is given.
Mayor TomLeighton said cre-
ating a permanent display will
preserve the legacy of the hotel.
This building was important
to the city and the region and it
should be remembered for what
it was and not its unfortunate
fate, Leighton said. In no un-
certain terms, that display will
be on permanent display at the
site once any development is
completed.
One of the featured items in
the display will be a copy of the
speech delivered by then U.S.
Sen. John F. Kennedy during a
1960 campaign stop in the city.
A photograph shows Kennedy
riding in a convertible past the
Hotel Sterling with the late U.S.
Rep. Dan Flood seated in the
back seat.
Kennedy later spoke on Pub-
lic Square. It was once week be-
fore the general election when
he defeated Republican Richard
M. Nixon to win the presidency.
The city has decided to re-
bid the demolition after Lu-
zerne County opted out of
sharing in the cost. The low bid
that came in on the rst request
was about $450,000.
Protesters stood outside the
Sterling for months hoping to
save the building that opened
in 1898. However, city ofcials
have said that the structure is
falling apart from the inside
out and can not be saved.
In September 2011, when
ood water from the Susque-
hanna River seeped through
the Market Street Bridge ood
gates, large quantities of water
poured into the nearby Ster-
ling, causing damage to the
foundation and forcing the city
to reroute trafc away from the
area.

WILKES-BARRE Attorneys
for The Times Leader are ask-
ing a federal judge to dismiss a
defamation lawsuit led against
numerous parties based on an
October 2011 article that ap-
peared in the newspaper.
Attorney Joseph Reisinger
sued employees and ofcials
at The Times Leader, Luzerne
County and Wilkes-Barre city,
claiming he was defamed in an
article about properties he owns
in the city. The article outlined
other lawsuits Reisinger had
led against the city and the
county and the cost associated
to defend the suits.
Attorneys Christopher
Guth and Daniel Rhynhart, of
Philadelphia, who are defend-
ing the newspaper, said in court
papers led Monday that the
suit should be dismissed on a
number of grounds, including
that the article written by Terrie
Morgan-Besecker is a fair and
accurate reporting, that the
newspaper is protected by the
Fair Report Privilege and that
the article addresses publicly
led lawsuits and not private
facts as Reisinger alleges in the
suit.
Reisingers arguments are
tortured and confusing, and
boil down to bare allegations
unsupported by any factual al-
legations, the attorneys wrote.
In February, attorneys for the
city of Wilkes-Barre and Mayor
Tom Leighton also led court
papers asking a judge to dismiss
the suit, claiming the suit is
heavy on speculation and light
on substance.

WILKES-BARRE - Attorneys
for Daniel Loughnane led a mo-
tion Monday in Luzerne County
Court seeking evidence in the fa-
tal hit-and-run accident on Hazle
Avenue last year.
While the motion by attor-
neys Peter Paul Olszewski Jr.
and Melissa A. Scartelli may be
routine in preparation for trial,
their requests for information
previously unknown seeks re-
cords dating back ve years, if
they exist.
City police charged Lough-
nane, 40, of West Liberty Street,
Hanover Township, with acci-
dents involving death based on
allegations he drove away after
striking Rebecca McCallick, 19,
in front of 199 Hazle Ave. on July
24. McCallick died at Geisinger
Wyoming Valley Medical Center.
Loughnanes trial has not
been scheduled. He remains free
on $50,000 bail.
Testimony at a preliminary
hearing earlier this year suggest-
ed McCallick left the Hazle Av-
enue apartment she shared with
her boyfriend, John Schenck IV,
after an argument.
Schenck testied McCal-
lick was lying in the middle of
the road and rolled over when
a large-size pickup truck sped
past, striking her.
Olszewski and Scartelli in
seeking evidence from pros-
ecutors, called discovery, want
ve-year records of any and all
responses by city police to the
Hazle Avenue apartment and for
any residence where McCallick
and Schenck resided.
Loughnanes attorneys are
also seeking records of bad
acts for each witness prosecu-
tors plan to call to testify at trial,
including statements from wit-
nesses prosecutors do not in-
tend to use.
Loughnane waived his right to
a formal arraignment in county
court on March 7, which began
the exchange of evidence from
prosecutors to his lawyers.
A hearing on the request for
evidence is scheduled for April
22.

Senators unveil child protection overhaul
HARRISBURG Bills
sponsored by some local leg-
islators are among a package
introduced Monday by a bi-
partisan group of senators to
improve Pennsylvanias child
protection laws.
The package implements
changes recommended by the
Pennsylvania Task Force on
Child Protection created by
the General Assembly in the
wake of former Penn State
assistant football coach Jerry
Sanduskys arrest on child mo-
lestation charges in November
2011.
The panel held a series of
public meetings and released
its report in November 2012.
The Task Force told us
that we can provide greater
protections for children by ex-
panding the denition of who
should be considered a per-
petrator of child abuse, state
Sen. Lisa Baker, R-Lehman
Township, said in a prepared
statement. My bill updates
the Child Protective Services
Law to include individuals
with direct or regular contact
with children.
Specically, the new deni-
tion adds employees or volun-
teers with direct contact with
children through programs
and activities, such as camps,
athletics or clubs; school
teachers and employees; any
person present in a childs
home when the alleged abuse
occurred; an individual related
to the child by birth, marriage
or adoption to the fth degree;
those involved in a previous
relationship with a childs par-
ent; and former step-parents.
Senate Bill 23, which is co-
sponsored by Baker and Sen.
Christine Tartaglione, D-Phil-
adelphia, also would expand
the denition of a person re-
sponsible for a childs welfare
to include anyone who has
direct or regular contact with
a child through any program,
activity or service sponsored
by a school, for-prot organiza-
tion or religious or other not-
for-prot organization, regard-
less of where the child abuse
occurs.
All children deserve to grow
up in a safe environment and
all parents deserve the peace
of mind, knowing that their
children will not be victimized
by dangerous child predators,
said Sen. John
Yu d i c h a k ,
D- Pl ymout h
To w n s h i p .
This biparti-
san package
of legislation
is another
step toward
protecting the
safety of our communities and,
most importantly, the future of
all Pennsylvania children.
Yudichak said his legisla-
tion, Senate Bill 26, would
establish a three-digit state-
wide toll-free number where
anyone can report child abuse
24/7. Children cannot stop
child abuse without our help,
and by establishing this ho-
tline, we will give everyone
that suspects child abuse a di-
rect line to someone that can
help protect that child.
Sen. John Blake, D-Arch-
bald, also co-sponsored a bill

DALLAS Sixty-ve Misericor-
dia University students traded their
books, lectures and tests for a week of
service in areas of the country where
poverty is prevalent.
The ministry service trip programat
Misericordia University in Dallas, held
from March 4-8, offered students ex-
posure to lifestyles and environments
they never experienced before.
Students picked from ve different
trips, Mercy Neighborhood Ministries,
North Philadelphia; Franciscan for the
Poor, Cincinnati, Ohio; City Mission,
Schenectady, NY; Habitat for Human-
ity, Mobile, Ala.; and Mercy Farms,
Benson, VT.
Students learned the value of com-
munity service, and lessons in human-
ity.
Junior Stacy Perrins, a health care
management major, called her trip a
life-changing experience.
Perrins, 21, of Dupont, volunteered
with the Franciscan for the Poor in
Cincinnati, Ohio. She said her week
was broken up with different activities
each day, including helping to stuff
5,000 envelopes for a fundraiser, help-
ing cook meals in a Ronald McDonald
House, working in a food pantry and in
an after-school program.
The people and children she met
changed her point of view on life.
It really makes you appreciate the
things you have, she said.
Working with elementary children
in the after-school program, Perrins
learned how they have shooting drills,
where the teacher blows a whistle and
children take evasive action to protect
themselves.
If it werent for this program, these
kids would not have a place to go, she
said. Many of the parents dont want
them home until dark.
She said the experience left her with
a desire to work with inner-city, at-risk
kids.
Each trip offered a different experi-
ence. Senior accounting major Adam
WILKES-BARRE Three city resi-
dents are undergoing treatment to pre-
vent rabies after being attacked by a
rabid cat last week, city health depart-
ment director Ted Kross conrmed
Monday.
Kross said the rst victim was bitten
in the leg by an orange tabby cat after
he tried to shoo the feline away from
his car on George Avenue on Wednes-
day. The citys animal control ofcer
located the cat on Thursday. Ofcials
got word Friday that the animal tested
positive for rabies.
Kross said health department work-
er Delphine Torbik posted iers in
the mans neighborhood advising resi-
dents a rabid animal had been found
there. Two additional people came
forward to say they believed they had
been scratched by the cat. They, too,
are undergoing treatment, Kross said.
Kross said the cat, a stray, exhibited
unusual behavior, including shaking
its head from side to side, that led
the animal control ofcer to suspect
it might be rabid. The cat was taken
to state Department of Agriculture lab
in Tunkhannock, where it was eutha-
nized. A test of its brain conrmed it
had rabies.
The case marks the second time a
rabid animal has been found in Wilkes-
Barre within the past year. Last year a
rabid cat was found near River Street,
Kross said.
Rabies vaccinations involve a series
of four shots that are administered in
the arm or buttocks over 28 days. The
procedure, while painful, is less painful
than in previous years, when the shots
had to be administered into the abdo-
men, Kross said.
Kross and Torbik cautioned resi-
dents to be careful around stray ani-
mals and to report any unusual be-
havior they see in a domestic or wild
animal to the health department at
570-208-4268.
If you see any animal acting
strangely contact the Wilkes-Barre
City Health Department so we can try
to capture them. This includes wild
animals. They are usually the animals
that bring the infection to begin with,
Kross said.
PITTSTON TWP. For decades
the Pittston Convention Hall was
known for catered affairs from which
music and revelry emanated. Soon, the
sounds of dental drills and teeth-clean-
ing devices will fill the site.
The owners of Casey Dental, a prac-
tice now based across from the old
banquet facility on Oak Street, have
purchased the former convention hall
and will relocate to that property. The
building was demolished late last year
with just the steel beams left intact. A
new foundation was poured in Decem-
ber and work has been ongoing ever
since.
The current Casey Dental building,
which practice founder Shawn Casey
owns, has an unclear future. He said
several options are being discussed.
Casey said he wanted to expand
his current building, but there wasnt
enough land. That spurred Casey, 43,
to look for other properties; his goal
was to nd a location in the same town-
ship in which he was born and raised.
He didnt have to look too far.
Through a company he formed,
NAMAState LP, he purchased the 2.73-
acre, former convention center proper-
ty last June.
Pittston Township Zoning Ofcer
Terry Best said the plans have been
approved by the townships Planning
Commission, and highway occupancy
and building permits have been se-
cured. He said all that remains will be
an occupancy permit once all the work
is done and the dental practice is ready
to move in.
That, Casey said, could come as ear-
ly as the fall.
The new building will have 18,000
square feet, double the current building
from which the dental ofce now oper-
ates. The practice employs more than
30, and Casey said that number will
grow by a dozen in the new building.
Casey said the new practice will wel-
come individuals with special needs.
We felt it was something that was
needed, Casey said. Thats why we
wanted to focus on that.
He said he is proud to be able to be
located in his hometown and to serve
patients so they do not have to travel
out of the Greater Pittston area. Being
able to bring new life to an iconic prop-
erty is an added bonus, Casey noted.
He has attended countless functions
at the hall, including proms, and he said
those who know he is relocating there
are already jokingly asking him Are
we gonna get served an appetizer when
we come to get our teeth cleaned?
The center, once the social hub for
the Greater Pittston area, closed in
February 2009. The property was sold
at a mortgage foreclosure sheriff sale
in 2005 for $103,976 to Pennsylvania
National Investors LLC, with addresses
listed as in Kingston and Wilkes-Barre.
They sold the property to NAMA State
LP for $750,000 last June.

The Hazleton Integration Project
has finalized the purchase of the for-

jacent parcels between Hayes and Sey-

In a deed recorded with Luzerne

chased four parcels totaling 0.62
acres for $358,750. That includes the
48,744-square-foot building that housed
the former school.
The Diocese of Scranton previous-
ly sold the largest parcel measuring
0.27 acres to Caffrey-Trimmel LLC for
$300,000 in March 2008, according to
property records.
HIP Project Director Bob Curry said
the property transfer is no surprise be-
cause the group has consistently dis-
cussed creating a multiuse facility for
educational, cultural and athletic activi-
ties for Hazleton area youth.
Its only a part of some of the excit-

Interest high,
outlook bleak
for Section 8
By JEnniFER lEARn-AndES
jandes@timesleader.com
The Luzerne County Housing
Authority received 966 requests for
Section 8 rental assistance during a
recent 11-day window allowing resi-
dents to apply for the rst time in
two years.
Authority Executive Director Da-
vid Fagula said newapplicants should
expect a lengthy wait for rental subsi-
dy in some cases years because
the federal government isnt provid-
ing enough funding this year to cover
people already in the program.
The funding numbers dont look
good, Fagula said.
The authority, which serves all
county municipalities except for the
four cities, is federally authorized to
ll 1,115 Section 8 slots, but 81 arent
being accessed by renters because of
federal funding cuts, he said.
Rental subsidy for the 1,034 cur-
rent participants will cost about $5.7
million this year, and the authority
is projected to receive $5.5 million,
Fagula said.
I dont think well be able to call
anyone new in for the rest of the
year because were already spending
more money than were expected to
receive, Fagula said.
The authority may be forced to
eject some of the current participants
later this year if nobody leaves the
program, he said.
Other housing authorities through-
out the country have been notifying
Section 8 participants their rental
subsidy might be cut off because of
federal budget cuts.
Fagula said he opted to seek new
applicants because residents had
been banned from requesting service
since March 2011, when 700 applica-
tions were received during a three-
week enrollment period. He limited
the latest enrollment to 11 days be-
cause he expected overwhelming re-
sponse due to the economy.
Other housing authorities across
the country also are experiencing ser-
vice requests that drastically exceed
funding, he said. An authority near
Philadelphia received thousands of
Section 8 applications during a one-
day enrollment acceptance, he said.
The income eligibility limits range
from $20,750 for a single person to
$39,100 for a family of eight. Pro-
gram participants receive vouchers
for their landlords covering the dif-
ference between 30 percent of the
tenants income and the fair market
rent in the area.
Fagula also said his ofce also is
struggling to cover mandated over-
sight of Section 8 with dwindling
funding. The authority should re-
ceive about $600,000 for admin-
istration based on the number of
participants but is allocated about
$420,000, he said.
Four employees cover Section 8
oversight work previously handled
by seven, he said. This work includes
income verication, federal reports
and inspections of rental units.
Thanks goodness I have employ-
ees who are able to keep up with the
work, he said.
Housing authorities in the countys
four cities Pittston, Nanticoke, Ha-
zleton and Wilkes-Barre also have
Section 8 waiting lists.

WASHINGTON Over strong objec-
tions from some conservative leaders, the
Republican National Committee formally
endorsed immigration reform on Mon-
day and outlined plans for a $10 million
outreach to minority groups gay vot-
ers among them as part of a strategy
to make the GOP more welcoming and
inclusive for voters who overwhelmingly
supported Democrats in 2012.
In a report released Monday, the RNC
says the way the party communicates its
principles isnt resonating widely enough
and that focus groups perceive the party
as narrow minded, out of touch and
stuffy old men.
The perception that were the party of
the rich unfortunately continues to grow,
Reince Priebus, the RNC chair, said in a
Monday morning speech.
To broaden its appeal, the party must
reach out to minority voters and others,
according to one recommendation in the
report: We must embrace and champion
comprehensive immigration reform. If we
do not, our partys appeal will continue to
shrink, it said.
Party leaders have crafted dozens of rec-
ommendations after a months-long self-ex-
amination prompted by last years painful
election losses. The report also calls on Re-
publicans to take a harder line with corpo-
rate America, loosen political fundraising
laws in Washington and in state capitals,
and cut in half the number of candidate
debates in a shortened 2016 presidential
primary calendar.
The Republican National Commit-
tees shift on minority outreach may be
the most visible change in the coming
months.
Priebus plans to dispatch hundreds
of paid workers into Hispanic, black and
Asian communities across the nation by
the end of the summer, a $10 million effort
meant to rival President Barack Obamas
national political machine.

Town backs rape inquiry
A
city reeling from the convictions of
two high school football players in
the rape of a 16-year-old girl will back
a wide-ranging probe that could target
adults, including coaches, who didnt
initially report the allegations, the citys
top ofcial said Monday.
Residents of Steubenville want to see
justice done, and the city will be better
off going forward because of the investi-
gation, city manager Cathy Davison said.
The announcement of the guilty
verdict was barely an hour old Sunday
when state Attorney General Mike DeW-
ine said he was continuing his investiga-
tion and would consider charges against
anyone who failed to speak up after the
summertime attack. That group could
include other teens, parents, school of-
cials and coaches for the high schools

on a social issue that is
rapidly gaining public
approval.

announcement in an
online video released
Monday morning by
the gay rights advo-
cacy group Human
Rights Campaign. She
says in the six-minute video that gays
and lesbians are full and equal citizens
and deserve the rights of citizenship.
That includes marriage, she says,
adding that she backs gay marriage both
personally and as a matter of policy and
law.

Tinkering with sequester
It was bound to happen: As the
sequester budget cuts are felt around the
country, lawmakers are having second

them in a way that could lead to a full-

Senators want to load up a routine
spending bill with provisions to reopen
the White House to tours, shield meat
inspectors from furloughs and keep air
trafc control towers staffed, among
other changes that would rearrange the
across-the-board cuts.
Nearly 100 amendments have been
led by senators on both sides of the po-
litical aisle, stalling the measure that is
needed to keep the government running
after March 27.

Explosive de-
vices found
in UCF dorm
ORLANDO, Fla. A college
student killed himself in a dorm
at the University of Central
Florida and investigators found
explosives and guns in the room
early Monday, authorities said,
leading to the evacuation of hun-
dreds of students and cancella-
tion of morning classes.
University spokesman Grant
Heston said normal campus op-
erations resumed around noon
after the makeshift devices
were taken away from the dorm,
which remained closed.
Authorities didnt immediate-
ly say what the students inten-
tions may have been.
Obviously you never want
somebody to commit suicide,
but knowing what we know
about what was in his room, we
feel better at least that no one
else was hurt, Heston said.
University police were called
to the dorm around 12:20 a.m.
after a re alarm went off, Hes-
ton said. While they were on
their way to the scene, a 911 call
came in about a man with a gun.
Arriving ofcers found a man
dead from what appeared to be
a self-inicted gunshot wound
inside a residence at the Tower 1
dorm. Heston said the man was
a student at the university.
Heston said the dorm has
suites, with a main kitchen
and living area, along with four
bedrooms. The dead man was
inside one of the rooms. Inside
the room, Heston said, police
also found what they described
as an assault weapon, a handgun
and makeshift explosive devices.
Florida law prohibits the posses-
sion of guns on state university
campuses.
He said the Orange County
Sheriffs Ofce and the FBI are
helping with the investigation.
The sheriffs bomb squad was
examining the explosive devices
Monday morning.
About 500 students were evac-
uated from the dorm, and Hes-
ton said it would remain closed
until authorities give an all-clear
on the building.
On Monday morning, ashing
signs around the campus alerted
students and staff about the
canceled classes. The university
said on its website that its main
campus in Orlando has about
51,000 students, while satellite
campuses add about 8,000 more.
The U.S. Department of
Education ranked UCF as the
second-largest four-year public
university based on 2010 enroll-
ment numbers.
Antonio Whitehead, 21, a ju-
nior from Hollywood, Fla., said
he heard the re alarm go off
after midnight and thought it
was a routine alarm. He headed
outside where he saw a crowd
already heading across the street
from the dorm.
Student who took his own life
apparently was prepared to
take others.

but it was not immediately
clear if he was ying the

The plane leaked enough
fuel to force the evacuation of
hundreds of people from sur-
rounding homes, but most
residents were allowed to re-
turn Monday morning.
Frank Sojka, 84, who lives
in the rst home struck, went
back to his home Monday
morning so police could re-

eight homes remain under
mandatory evacuation.

N.Y. state celebrity anti-frackers not registered as lobbyists
ALBANY, N.Y. Dozens
of celebrities may be running
afoul of a law requiring lobby-
ists to register with the state
as they unite under the ban-
ner of one group that is seek-
ing to prevent a method of gas
drilling in New York.
Artists Against Fracking op-
poses hydraulic fracturing, or
fracking, and boasts members
including Yoko Ono and ac-
tors Mark Ruffalo and Susan
Sarandon.
The group says forcing wa-
ter and chemicals deep into
shale deposits to extract gas
threatens drinking water and
the environment. The groups
website implores, Tell Gover-
nor Cuomo: Dont Frack New
York.
But the group and nearly
200 entertainers who are gain-
ing attention and support in
the dispute, which is splitting
New Yorkers, arent regis-
tered lobbyists, according to
a search by The Associated
Press of the database of the
state Joint Commission on
Public Ethics. State law is de-
signed to disclose who is try-
ing to inuence government
action, how much money they
are spending and where the
moneys going.
You spend money lobby-
ing, you have to register,

executive director of the state
lobbying commission and
now an attorney representing
lobbyists and clients.
Its clear lobbying, Gran-
deau said Monday after see-

the boat, he said.
A good-government advo-

VATICAN CITY Pope
Francis diplomatic skills were
put to the test Monday as his po-
litical nemesis, Argentine Presi-
dent Cristina Fernandez, asked
him to intervene in the dispute
with Britain over the Falkland
Islands.
There was no immediate
comment from the Vatican as
to whether the Argentine-born
Francis would accept her re-
quest, which was made during
his inaugural audience with a
visiting head of state on the eve
of his installation as pope.
Francis and Fernandez are
longtime rivals: As leader of
Argentinas Catholics, he had
accused her populist govern-
ment of demagoguery, while she
called his position on gay adop-
tions reminiscent of the Middle
Ages and the Inquisition.
But where the Falklands are
concerned, Francis has been
quoted as saying that Britain
usurped the remote islands,
which Argentina claims and
calls the Malvinas.
Argentina and Britain fought
a 1982 war over the islands.
Earlier this month, the island-
ers voted overwhelmingly to
remain a British Overseas Ter-
ritory.
Fernandez told journalists
Monday after having lunch with
the pope that she had asked for
Francis intercession to facili-
tate dialogue with Britain over
the islands.
Just last week, British Prime
Minister David Cameron said
he didnt agree with Francis
views on the Falklands.
In asking Francis to intervene,
Fernandez said she recalled how
Pope John Paul II averted war
in 1978 between Argentina and
Chile over three tiny islands
in the Beagle Channel at the
southern tip of South America.
With military governments
on both sides poised for battle,
he sent his personal envoy to
mediate the crisis through shut-
tle diplomacy between Santiago
and Buenos Aires, and eventu-
ally brought both governments
to the Vatican to consider his
compromise.
The conict wasnt entirely
resolved until after democracy
returned to Argentina, and both
sides signed a treaty of peace
and friendship at the Vatican in
1984, giving the islands to Chile
but maritime rights to Argen-
tina.
On Monday, Fernandez gave
Francis a picture of a marble
monument honoring the 30th
anniversary of John Paul IIs
negotiations, and then used the
opportunity to bring up the is-
sue of sovereignty over the Falk-
lands.
They also seemed to have
patched up their relationship.
Fernandez gave the new pope
a mate gourd and straw, to hold
the traditional Argentine tea
that Francis loves, and he gave
her a kiss.
Never in my life has a pope
kissed me! Fernandez said af-
terward.
Fernandez called on the for-
mer Archbishop of Buenos Ai-
res at his temporary home, the
Vatican hotel on the edge of the
Vatican gardens, and the two
later had lunch together, a day
before she and other world lead-
ers attend his installation Mass
in St. Peters Square that some
estimates say could bring 1 mil-
lion people to Rome.
The Vatican on Monday re-
leased details of the Mass, say-
ing it would be a simplied
version of the 2005 installation
Mass that brought Pope Bene-
dict XVI to the papacy, with
many gestures to Eastern rite
Catholics and Orthodox Chris-
tians in a sign of church unity.
The Vatican also released de-
tails of Francis coat of arms and
ofcial ring, both of which are
in keeping with his simple style
and harking back to popes past:
The coat of arms is the same
Jesuit-inspired one he used as
archbishop of Buenos Aires,
while the ring was once offered
to Pope Paul VI, who presided
over the second half of the Sec-
ond Vatican Council, the church
meetings that modernized the
church.
Francis will ofcially receive
the ring and the pallium, a wool
stole, during Tuesdays instal-
lation Mass, which is drawing
six sovereign rulers, 31 heads
of state, three princes and 11
heads of government to the Vati-
can. Fernandez leads the largest
delegation with 19 members.
She and her predecessor and
late husband, Nestor Kirchner,
deed church teaching to push
through a series of measures
with popular backing in Argen-
tina, including mandatory sex
education in schools, free dis-
tribution of contraceptives in
public hospitals, and the right
for transsexuals to change their
ofcial identities on demand.
Argentina in 2010 became the
rst Latin American country to
legalize same-sex marriages.
According to Francis autho-
rized biographer, Sergio Rubin,
the former Cardinal Jorge Mario
Bergoglio was politically wise
enough to know the church
couldnt win a straight-on ght
against gay marriage, so he
urged his bishops to lobby for
gay civil unions instead.

Theodore Delano Carl
March 14, 2013
T
heodore Delano Carl of Bear
Creek Township, and Gold
Canyon, Ariz., passed away on
Thursday, March 14, 2013 sur-
rounded by his family, after a cou-
rageous battle with cancer.
A self-proclaimed country
boy, Ted was born in Blooms-
burg, having been named by
President Franklin Delano Roos-
evelt himself. He graduated from
Landsdowne High School and
earned a degree in economics
from the University of Pennsylva-
nia Wharton School of Business,
graduating Summa Cum Laude.
A bit of a wanderer, Ted lived all
over the country, but was a long-
time resident of both West Ches-
ter and Littleton, Colo.
The consummate banker, with
a sharp mind for numbers, Ted
led and managed numerous banks
and brokerage houses throughout
New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio and Colorado, includ-
ing Girard Bank, Melon Bank,
Chemical Bank and First National
Bank of Toms River. He spent
more than 10 years at ADP, most
recently serving as senior vice
president of ADP-SIS in Wheat
Ridge, Colo., prior to retirement.
For the past 10 years, he provided
consulting services to First South-
west Company in Dallas, Texas.
Ted was dedicated to improv-
ing the lives of others in any
way he could and as such was a
member of the Free Masons Blue
Lodge F&AM 436 for more than
50 years, as well as a member of
the Bear Creek Township Lions
Club. He could often be found
giving back by serving local veter-
ans, volunteering at church func-
tions, offering advice to neighbors
and washing dishes at local Lions
Club breakfasts. He was a mem-
ber of Faith Lutheran Church
in Blakeslee and Gold Canyon
United Methodist Church in Gold
Canyon, Ariz.
His personal motto was Re-
member each one of us can make
a difference, every day, and he
certainly did in the lives of many.
With his passing, Ted joined
his son Stephen Aaron Carl, his
mother, Clara Ida Carl, and his
brother James Franklin Carl.
He loved his family above all
else and leaves behind his wife,
Elizabeth Sandra Carl of Bear
Creek Township; a son, Chris-
topher Ivers, of Denver, Colo.; a
daughter, Amanda Carl, of Dan-
bury, Conn. and a son, Theodore
Carl Jr., of Wilmington, Del.; as
well as a brother, Richard Carl
of Dagsboro, Del., and a sister,
Barbara Hastings, of Greenwood,
Del. In addition, he leaves behind
a tremendous network of loving
and caring friends, whom he not
only inuenced in immeasurable
ways, but also considered family.
Funeral services will be held
at 11 a.m. Friday at Advent Lu-
theran Church, 1601 Green Lane,
West Chester. He will be laid to
rest in a private burial service at
Stroudsburg Cemetery on Satur-
day at 10 a.m., next to his son Ste-
phen. There will be no viewing.
In lieu of owers, the family
asks that donations be made in
Teds memory to Faith Lutheran
Church of Blakeslee, or to St.
Josephs Center in Scranton, in
memory of both Ted and Stephen
Carl.
With Teds passing, the world
has lost a truly special, loving
and giving man. But he would
tell those who mourn his death to
dry their eyes, I had a great life,
I have no regrets. God was good
to me.
Arrangements will be handled
by William H. Clark Funeral
Home; 1003 Main St., Strouds-
burg, PA 18360.

Grzech put his building skills
to work with Habitat for Hu-
manity in Mobile, Ala.
I love building things, said
Grzech, 22, of Mountain Top.
I wanted to give the most of
me to those in need.
Grzech said he and 29 fellow
students volunteered to help
build a home for an African
refugee family whose mem-
bers ed to Alabama to escape
slavery. Many of the houses in
the area were built by Habitat
for Humanity, he said.
The family also had to in-
vest a certain amount of hours
to build the home. He did
not meet the family though.
Grzech said during the day,
when the family members were
working at their jobs, his group
was building frames, roong,
or putting on siding. The fam-
ily volunteered at night and on
weekends, he said.
People need a house over
their heads to provide for their
families, he said.
After hearing one womans
amazing story, Alexandra Zara,
19, of Hanover Township, real-
ized howpowerful faith can be.
While volunteering at the
City Mission in Schenectady,
NY, Zara attended the wom-
ens devotional in the womens
homeless shelter. There, she
heard the story of a woman
who lost her twin infants
shortly after birth.
Her infants had twin-to-
twin transfusion and she could
not afford the surgery, she
said. The hospital paid for the
procedure, but learned they
would not live through the
day.
Zara said the woman turned
to God and said, Do as you
will, God.
It taught me to have more
faith, Zara said.
In a North Philadelphia
neighborhood near Temple
University, Nick Ametrano, 21,
of Kingston volunteered with
the Mercy Neighborhood Min-
istries.
Ametrano was eager to work
with the kids and found them
very accepting. He helped with
after-school programs that
were designed to provide a ha-
ven while many parents were
working.
The facility also housed an
elderly daycare and pre-school.
He said he was a little appre-
hensive about working with
the elderly but found it felt like
hanging out with his grandpar-
ents.
They shared stories and
showed us pictures, he said. I
learned that just talking means
a lot. We are all people and, we
all need the same thing.

NEWYORKA newpropos-
al would require New York City
retailers to keep tobacco prod-
ucts out of sight under a rst-in-
the-nation proposal aimed at re-
ducing the youth smoking rate,
Mayor Michael Bloomberg said
Monday.
The legislation would require
stores to keep tobacco products
in cabinets, drawers, under the
counter, behind a curtain or in
other concealed spots.
They could be visible only
when an adult is making a pur-
chase or during restocking.
Bloomberg said similar pro-
hibitions on displays have been
enacted in other countries, in-
cluding Iceland, Canada, Eng-
land and Ireland.
Such displays suggest that
smoking is a normal activity,
Bloomberg said. And they in-
vite young people to experiment
with tobacco.
Stores devoted primarily to
the sale of tobacco products
would be exempt from the dis-
play ban.
The mayors ofce said retail
stores could still advertise to-
bacco products under the legis-
lation.
We have made tremendous
strides in combating smoking in
New York City but this leading
killer still threatens the health
of our children, said Dr. Thom-
as A. Farley,
the health com-
missioner.
Farley said
the citys com-
prehensive an-
ti-smoking pro-
gram cut adult
smoking rates by
nearly a third from 21.5 per-
cent in 2002 to 14.8 percent in
2011 but the youth rate has
remained at, at 8.5 percent,
since 2007.
The legislation, to be intro-
duced in the City Council on
Wednesday, is composed of two
separate bills that Farley called
logical, important next steps to
further protect our teens from
tobacco.
The second bill, called the
Sensible Tobacco Enforce-
ment bill, strengthens enforce-
ment of discounted and smug-
gled cigarettes.
It would prohibit the sale of
discounted tobacco products,
impose packaging requirements
on cheap cigars and create a
price oor for cigarette packs
and small cigars. The city would
have the authority to seal prem-
ises where there are repeat vio-
lations.
The bill would also increase
penalties for retailers who evade
tobacco taxes or sell tobacco
without a license.
Bloomberg has backed a num-
ber of public health measures,
including a crackdown on large
sizes of sugary drinks and add-
ing calorie counts to menus.
A judge blocked the drinks
ban but the city is appealing.

Keep it out of sight
Mayor wants products visible

Mobile apps giving monitors the slip
WASHINGTON Relieved
your kids arent posting em-
barrassing messages and goofy
self-portraits on Facebook?
Theyre probably doing it on In-
stagram and Snapchat instead.
The number of popular social
media sites available on kids
mobile devices has exploded
in recent years. The smartest
apps now enable kids to chat
informally with select groups
of friends without bumping up
against texting limits and with-
out beingmonitoredby parents,
coaches and college admissions
ofcers, who are frequent Face-
book posters themselves.
Many of the newmobile apps
dont require a cellphone or a
credit card. Theyre free and
can be used on popular por-
table devices such as the iPod
Touch and Kindle Fire, as long
as theres a wireless Internet
connection.
According to the Pew Re-
search Centers Internet and
American Life Project, more
than three-fourths of teenagers
have a cellphone and use online
social networking sites such
as Facebook. But educators
and kids say there is plenty of
anecdotal evidence to suggest
that Facebook for teenagers has
become a bit like a school-sanc-
tioned prom a necessary rite
of passage with plenty of adult
onlookers while apps such
as Snapchat and Kik Messenger
are the much cooler after-party.
Educators say they have
seen everything from kids us-
ing their mobile devices to cir-
culate online videos of school
drug searches to male students
sharing nude pictures of their
girlfriends. Most parents, they
say, have no idea.
What sex education used
to be its now the technol-
ogy talk we have to have with
our kids, said Rebecca Levey,
a mother of 10-year-old twin
daughters who runs a tween
video review site called Kidz-
Vuz.com and blogs about tech-
nology and educations issues.
Eileen Patterson, a stay-at-
home mom of eight kids in
Burke, Va., said she used to
consider herself fairly tech
savvy and is frequently on Face-
book, but was shocked to learn
her kids could message their
friends with just an iPod Touch.
She counts nine wireless devic-
es in her home and has taken
to shutting off her homes Wi-Fi
after 9 p.m., but Patterson calls
her attempt to keep tabs on her
kids online activity a war Im
slowly losing every day.
I nd myself throwing up my
hands every now and again,
Patterson said. Then Ill see
something on TV or read an
article in the paper about some
horrible thing that happened to
some poor child and their fam-
ily, and then I try to be more
vigilant. But the reality is, Im
stupid when it comes to so-
cial media.
Mobile apps refer to the soft-
ware applications that can be
downloaded to a mobile device
through an online store such as
Apples iTunes. According to
the Federal Trade Commission,
there are some 800,000 apps
available through Apple and
700,000 apps on Google Play.
Among the most popular
mobile apps among kids is
Instagram, free software that
digitally enhances photos and
posts them to your account on-
line. The photos can be shared
on other social media sites such
as Facebook, which bought Ins-
tagram last year.
Then theres Snapchat,
among the top 10 free iPhone
apps available. Coined by the
media as the sexting app,
Snapchat lets you send a text,
photo or video that self-de-
structs within 10 seconds of be-
ing opened.
Kik Messenger also allows
unlimited texting for free and
offers anonymity to its users.
Able to run on an iPod Touch or
Kindle Fire, Kik allows vague
user names that wont reveal
a persons real name or phone
number.
But as with anything online,
each of these apps comes with
serious caveats.
Snapchat, for example, ac-
knowledges on its Web page
that its messages arent guar-
anteed to disappear: Anyone
receiving a text or photo can
use their 10 seconds to cap-
ture a screenshot, or photo
of their devices screen, and
save that image to their phone.
Video also can be download-
ed, although Snapchat says it
alerts senders when their data
is saved.

Editorial
Y
OU DONT have to
look hard to nd a hos-
pital nurse who feels
overworked; stories of
long shifts, mandatory overtime
and understafng are as com-
mon as a winter head cold.
In fact, you dont have to look
for a nurse at all. Ask anyone
you know who recently spent
time in a hospital and
youre likely to hear a
story or two about prob-
lems getting assistance,
about haste and lack of
personal attention, or at
the very least about how
the wonderful nurses
seemed perpetually har-
ried while still doing a
great job.
So it is understandable that,
at rst blush, most would praise
State Rep. Phyllis Mundy, D-
Kingston, and State Sen. Daylin
Leach, R-Wayne, for proposing
state-mandated nurse-to-patient
ratios. The immediate reaction
for many is surely What took
so long?
And while few familiar with
the plight of hospital nurses
would begrudge them more
help, this issue dees any sim-
ple solution.
For starters, theres the pow-
erful need to lower health insur-
ance costs in this country; pre-
miums chronically far outpace
ination and wage increases.
Simply mandating more nurses
creates the very real risk of add-
ing pressure to that trend with-
out necessarily improving care.
Then there is the fact that
many places are experiencing
nurse shortages. Mandating the
demand does not improve the
supply. It is plausible a state ra-
tio requirement would increase
mandatory overtime as hospi-
tals struggled to comply with
the new law while coping with
the old stafng availability.
And there is the overused
-- but not always illegiti-
mate -- argument of arch
conservatives that gov-
ernment should not de-
termine how a business
fullls its needs. There
is ample proof that busi-
nesses will exploit work-
ers relentlessly without
goverment interven-
tion, but it is also true
that the medical eld is already
reacting to profound market
changes regardless of govern-
ment action.
Costs have escalated too fast
to keep sustain many business-
es. Hospitals have merged, alli-
ances have formed, insurance
companies and providers alike
are adapting to the reality that
money is limited and the days of
of payment without concern for
outcomes are ending.
Mundy and Leach are to be
lauded for broaching the no-
tion of mandated nursing ratios.
Something has to be done.
But this topic is complex and
this eld is evolving. A heavy-
handed government mandate
could ultimately hurt more than
it helps.
Caution and exibility are the
true mandates here.

W-B Twp. mayor calls
writer an embarrassment
T
his in in response to Joe Naperkowskis
article from Feb. 26, 2013.
You say no common sense, no integrity
and the Wilkes-Barre Township citizens
are being embarrassed; this is done by
you. Joe, you are an embarrassment to
your family and town. You say we should
have honored WWII and Korean veterans
only. Joe, are you saying all other veter-
ans who fought or died for us should not
be honored? Way to go Joe.
You say the road department should
be appreciated for its work. Should the
residents know why? Remember there
is a police department, road department
and administrative department. They
all get paid to do their jobs, and they do
them well.
You say our old Wilkes-Barre Township
high school should be used for recreation,
a day care center and a senior center. If
you would stop taking advice from the
Pulaski Street garage, you would know
that on Tuesdays and Thursdays we have
basketball for kids at the school. Also
there is a beautiful play group at the
municipal building and the seniors have a
place at the town hall. Quit being jealous
because the only one dysfunctional is
you, not the mayor, council and adminis-
tration. Look in the mirror and grow up.
This administration and all past admin-
istrations have worked very hard to make
this town what it is today and all should
be offended by your comments.
Also, I cant believe The Times Leader
prints your garbage without checking
your statements. I cant believe it is that
hard up to sell papers.

True animal lovers should
be responsible owners
T
his is in response to the letter written
about a dog shot and killed by a police
ofcer and the writers faith that enabled
him to go on and forgive the police of-
cer.
There are two sides to every story and
we do not have all the facts to make a
decision. The writer stated that his dog
did not know the difference between an
intruder and a police ofcer.
Likewise, in todays polluted world we
have to consider that the police ofcer
did not know if he stumbled onto a crack
house with vicious dogs that protect
them. Split second decisions may have to
be made in this type of a situation. The
writer said friends of animals prompted
him to write his letter.
Lets look at an important fact. The
dog was loose, outside and not under
the owners control. As a responsible pet
owner this would have saved the dogs
life. Is the dog always loose? Usually the
friends of animals think this is the ani-
mals right to run free. I have experienced
this many times. One example is when
our four sheep, which are in a one-acre
enclosure, had a visit from the neighbors
friendly dog that barked at them and ran
around the fence. The sheep panicked,
they did not know he was a friendly dog,
and they ran into the fence injuring them-
selves. Who is the responsible pet owner?
The biggest problem is cats that the
animal lovers believe should visit the
neighborhood, breeding with each other
and resulting in an explosion of feral
animals. I am an animal lover who enjoys
feeding a
nd watching birds and rabbits (we feed
them seed and crackers by hand) that
raise their young on our property. Then
the cats come and kill the birds and baby
bunnies.
The animal lovers say that this is their
nature, let them go. Who is the real ani-
mal lover? The person who loves the wild
animals or the person who supports an
out-of-control domesticated population of
human animals.
Yes, the dog and cat food companies
that prot from this population have brain-
washed the animal lovers into believing
animals are people with the same value
of life as a real baby. Maybe these people
should read the Bible for an answer.

Christians are failing
to fulll responsibilities
R
ecently I read of a report that showed
that only 34 percent of Protestants and
24 percent of Catholics attend church on
Sunday. And we wonder what is hap-
pening to our beloved country? Being
baptized into the Christian faith is not
just a social gesture to help us feel righ-
teous. Imagine a minister going through
seminary and then refusing to take on the
responsibilities of preaching. Imagine a
Catholic going through years of study and
prayer to become a priest and then refus-
ing to offer Mass. He becomes a priest
to offer daily, to God the Father, the life,
death and resurrection sacrice of Jesus
Christ.
Baptized Christians have a very impor-
tant role to play in Gods plan for they
must, ll up the cup that is lacking as
Colossians l: 24 tells us. Catholics must
listen to Scripture to learn Gods plan for
salvation. Then we must unite with all
faithful Catholics on Sundays, to offer to
the Father Christs great sacrice re-
presented on our altar. Jesus suffered for
each of us individually. each Christian,
individually, owes it to Christ to enter
into His passion and do all that we can to
bring Gods world into the reality we pray
for each day - Thy kingdom come, Thy
will be done.
Dr. Alice von Hildebrand once com-
mented on following our own conscience.
She wrote, conscience, as ltered
through ones own pride and rebellious
spirit is derailed into implying a right to
follow ones own will and wishes under
the rubric of conscience, no matter what
the outcome. In this Year of Faith come
home to your inheritance. Join us in
church asking God to save our soul and
our country.

Reader is in favor of use
of drones to protect U.S.
I
am in total agreement with the use of
drones to keep American citizens safe
from terrorists, criminals and drug deal-
ers in America. One drone could hover
over Wilkes-Barre, and it would tell us how
78,000 gallons of fuel disappeared. One
droned assigned to Chicago, Philadelphia,
Detroit, Hazleton, etc.
Send a umber of drones to our borders
and ID those entering the country illegally
and notify border patrol. Drones to ID
the Mexican drug cartel operating at will
in America. Drones would be the biggest
crime prevention unit operating with
law enforcement to ensure the safety of
Americans.

checks.
The handling of the refund
account is detailed in a mo-
tion led March 6 in Allegheny
County Court that recommends
how money held in various Cen-
tax accounts should be distrib-
uted. Anyone who opposes the
proposal has until April 8 to le
a response. A hearing on the
matter is scheduled for April 9
in Allegheny County Court.
Centaxs downfall caused sig-
nicant problems for municipal-
ities statewide that counted on
the rmto collect and distribute
earned income taxes. Several lo-
cal communities were forced to
take out tax anticipation notes
due to signicant delays in re-
ceiving funds they were owed.
Campbell & Levine was ap-
pointed as a receiver in Novem-
ber to wind down Centaxs
operations and issue a recom-
mendation on how to distrib-
ute remaining funds. The most
recent motion provides the rst
look into how money owed to
individual taxpayers will be
handled.
The motion, prepared by at-
torney Paul Cordaro, describes
the signicant challenges
Campbell & Levine has faced as
it worked to decipher Centaxs
records to determine how much
money is owed to individuals,
municipalities and school dis-
tricts.
According to the motion, the
refund account was established
in 2002 and had a balance of
$747,233 as of Feb. 28. That
included money that had built
up over the years from checks
that were never mailed out
by Centax, or that were never
cashed, lost in the mail or re-
turned to as not deliverable.
In the past, any check that
was not cashed was turned over
to the state Treasury Depart-
ment, which held the money
in its unclaimed property fund.
Anyone who is owed unclaimed
property can recoup it by ling
a claim request with the depart-
ment.
The problem, Cordaro said,
is Centax had not reconciled
the refund account since 2008
and had only recently turned
over checks dating to 2006 to
the Treasury Department as
unclaimed property. Given that,
reconciling the account would
be practically impossible, Cor-
daro said, noting the receiver
would have to reconcile approxi-
mately 300,000 checks.
Citing that difculty, Cordaro
has proposed that $347,233 of
the funds held in the account
should not be turned over as
unclaimed property to the Trea-
sury Department but instead be
placed in an account that will be
used to pay the receivers fees
and other debts Centax owes to
various creditors.
The bottom line it that these
remaining funds cannot be iden-
tied or traced to a particular
taxpayer without devoting a
signicant amount of time and
expense, and even then the re-
ceiver believes that a signicant
amount of these funds cannot be
identied or traced, the motion
says.
If approved, it appears the or-
der would preclude any person
who failed to cash any check is-
sued before 2011 from ever ob-
taining the money. Cordaro did
not immediately return a phone
message Monday. In his motion,
he noted his law rm had re-
ceived fewer than 10 phone calls
from taxpayers seeking replace-
ment checks.
The motion also calls for the
remaining $400,000 to be split
in two ways. Some of the money
the order does not detail the
amount would go to a trust
account and be distributed by
Berkheimer. Berkheimer could
use that money to pay 2011 re-
funds that are owed, Deremer
said.
Another portion of the money
would be earmarked to ll a
shortage in a separate fund at
Centax that held earned income
taxes it collected for municipali-
ties and school districts.
According to the motion, that
fund held earned income taxes
collected for 2011 that have
not yet been distributed. The
fund had $682,194 as of Feb.
28. The problem, Cordaro said,
is records show that a total of
$904,850 is owed, for a shortfall
of $222,656.
Cordaros motion does not
allege any misappropriation
of funds. Rather, the receiver
blames the shortfall on taxpay-
ers who submitted checks that
were returned for insufcient
funds. Centax, it said, never
blacked out those checks from
data detailing how much was
owed to school districts and mu-
nicipalities.

Pennsylvania and Utah are the

Pennsylvanias system became
law in 1933 after the end of Pro-
hibition. In the words of former
Gov. Gifford Pinchot, who signed
the bill into law, the state-con-
trolled system was intended to
make the purchase of liquor as
inconvenient and as expensive as
possible.
House Majority Leader Mike
Turzai, R-Bradford Woods, has
said he wants to push for a full
House vote on his bill, possibly
later this week.
Pennsylvanias state stores em-
ploy about 3,500 clerks. Turzai
supports providing tax incentives
to companies that hire laid-off
state store workers.
Under the bill, beer distributors
would get the rst right of refusal
for the wine and spirits licenses.
Grocery stores could sell wine and
beer if they have separate sections
selling food. Big-box stores could
bid on wine and spirits licenses
after the beer distributors decide
whether they want to pay the fees
for selling wine and liquor. There
are 1,138 beer distributors.

County Manager Robert
Lawton asked council to set
priorities so the administration
has direction and can gradu-
ally implement them in future
union contracts.
Changes can be imposed on
the countys roughly 300 non-
union workers without nego-
tiation. However, some county
ofcials have said it would be
unfair to immediately force all
new standards on this group
of employees when it will take
several rounds of union con-
tracts perhaps decades to
fully implement the changes for
workers bound by collective-
bargaining agreements.
The administration and
council will have the opportuni-
ty to make signicant headway
in changes this year because six
of the countys 10 union agree-
ments expire Dec. 31. These ex-
piring contracts cover roughly
900 of the countys 1,500 em-
ployees.
New contracts must be ne-
gotiated with unionized assis-
tant district attorneys/public
defenders, prison workers, the
rank-and-le residual unit and
children-and-youth, aging and
mental-health employees.
Of the six unions, the assistant
district attorneys/public defend-
ers and prison are the only ones
with the right to binding arbitra-
tion if negotiations reach an im-
passe. The remaining four have
the right to strike.
Council Chairman Tim Mc-
Ginley said he expects extensive
council discussion about work
hours, health-care contributions
and the standardization of other
benets, such as sick and vaca-
tion days and longevity.
Council members have pro-
posed switching all workers to
40-hour weeks and increasing
health-care contributions to 20
percent.
The uniformity of workforce
benets has become increasingly
important as departments merge
and require cross-training under
home rule, McGinley said.
Id like to see real standard-
ization of contracts, McGinley
said.
Analysis in some areas will be
required, he said. For example,
the county will be expected to
pay more if workers are required
to put in more hours, he said.
Federal health-care changes
must be researched to ensure
changes comply with new fed-
eral mandates, he said.
Paula Schnelly, who repre-
sents three county unions, in-
cluding the residual unit with a
contract expiring the end of the
year, said the county can pres-
ent anything at the bargaining
table.
All items are negotiable.
The key is to present it. Weve
had problems in the past where
things were not presented to
the union, said Schnelly, of the
American Federation of State,
County and Municipal Employ-
ees, or AFSCME.
Schnelly said her union work-
ers are open to working more
hours but would have to be paid.
Some council members are push-
ing for 40-hour work weeks, but
management keeps telling us
theres no money to pay for that,
she said.
County Controller Walter
Grifth said the overall cost of
each benet adds up some-
thing hes been pointing out for
years.
For example, the county spent
nearly half a million dollars
$494,339 to be exact on
length-of-service bonuses and
$351,617 on uniform allowances
last year, he said.
The county paid union em-
ployees at least $2.95 million in
vacation leave and $2.28 million
in paid sick time in 2012, Grifth
said. The totals for non-union
workers: $707,253 for vacation
and $433,711 for sick.
Employees typically receive
ve personal days per year. As-
sistant district attorneys/public
defenders receive four, while
prison workers have six.
The county paid union work-
ers $823,619 in personal days
last year, while non-union em-
ployees received $170,516 in
such compensation.
Grifth said he believes the
county should reduce days off
before paying to increase their
hours.
If the idea is to increase pro-
ductivity, we should cut back
the amount of time off that we
are giving them, Grifth said.

HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL FOR SPRING
DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER
A
woman, protected from
the snow by her trusty
blue umbrella, makes her
way down the sidewalk on
South Main Street near
the post ofce in Wilkes-
Barre just after 5 p.m.
Monday, about the time
Mother Nature delivered
yet another late-winter
gift from the skies to the

from work challenging for
many. The wintry mix is
forecast to continue today
and into Wednesday, never
mind that the calendar on
that day reads rst day of
spring.
process so they can go, Thank
you very much, (throw) it in
the garbage can, now do what
we would like you to do. It is a
registration form, Millett said.
The court is deciding the
legality of Arizonas require-
ment that prospective voters
document their U.S. citizen-
ship to use a registration form
produced under a federal voter
registration law. The 9th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals said
the 1993 National Voter Reg-
istration Act, which doesnt
require that documentation,
trumped Arizonas Proposition
200 passed in 2004.
Arizona appealed that deci-
sion to the Supreme Court.
This case focuses on voter
registration in Arizona, which
has tangled frequently with
the federal government over
immigration issues involving
the Mexican border. But it has
broader implications because
four other states Alabama,
Georgia, Kansas and Tennessee
have similar requirements,
and 12 other states are contem-
plating similar legislation, of-
cials say.
The federal Motor Voter
law, enacted in 1993 to ex-
pand voter registration, allows
would-be voters to ll out a
mail-in voter registration card
and swear they are citizens
under penalty of perjury, but it
doesnt require them to show
proof.
Under Proposition 200, Ari-
zona ofcials require an Arizo-
na drivers license issued after
1996, a U.S. birth certicate, a
passport or other similar docu-
ment, or the state will reject
the federal registration applica-
tion form.
This requirement applies
only to people who seek to reg-
ister using the federal mail-in
form. Arizona has its own form
and an online system to regis-
ter when renewing a drivers
license. The court ruling did
not affect proof of citizenship
requirements using the state
forms.
Justice Samuel Alito asked
if Arizona kept two different
voter rolls, one for people who
used the state system and one
for those who use the federal.
The answer was no.
That means that some
people face one set of require-
ments to vote, and others a
completely different set, he
said. This seems to me like a
crazy system, Alito said.
But Congress said states are
to accept and use the federal
Motor Voter registration card,
Justice Sonia Sotomayor said.
I have a real big disconnect
with how you can be saying
youre accepting and using,
when youre not registering
people when they use it the
way the federal law permits
them to, she said to Arizona
Attorney General Thomas C.
Horne.
Opponents of Arizonas law
see it as an attack on vulner-
able voter groups such as
minorities, immigrants and
the elderly. They say theyve
counted more than 31,000
potentially legal voters in Ari-
zona who easily could have
registered before Proposition
200 but were blocked initially
by the law in the 20 months
after it passed in 2004. They
say about 20 percent of those
thwarted were Latino.
But Arizona ofcials say
they should be able to pass
laws to stop illegal immi-
grants and other noncitizens
from getting on their voting
rolls.
The court will make a deci-
sion later this year.

one-on-one passing drills. Quarter-
backs and receivers vs. defensive
backs. Press coverage. Best-out-of-
ve.
With the rest of the squad lining up
to watch, OBrien belted out, Lets
hear it! His voice boomed through-
out Holuba Hall, as the Lions were
forced indoors by the blinding snow-
storm that hit the region.
No matter. The players off to the
side roared. Spring ball had ofcially
begun.
Steven Bench was up rst, looking
deep for former WVC star Eugene
Lewis. But top corner Adrian Amos
was all over the redshirt freshman
and Bench was forced to throw it out
of reach down the right sideline.
Benchs top competition, Tyler Fer-
guson, answered for the offense by
connecting with enormous tight end
Jesse James to tie it up.
The defense took over from there,
stopping Bench and Ferguson on the
next two throws to win the rst of
many mini-competitions the coaches
have lined up for the spring. The play-
ers wearing helmets and jerseys
but no pads were eager just to get
back on the eld.
Before one of the snaps, OBrien
barked at cornerback DaQuan Davis
for trying to get an early jump on his
mark, senior wideout Brandon Mose-
by-Felder, drawing the coachs ire.
Drop the pen. Everybody knows no
ink makes contact with a bracket sheet
until Monday night at the earliest. Until
its deadline time, pencils are preferred.
Its tempting to make big decisions
about your picks while youre still wait-
ing for the fourth region to be unveiled.
Dont. In the next 10, 12 hours you will
hear so many nuggets of information
and reasons to change your mind that
you will, over and over.
That, folks, is real March Madness.
To add to your confusion, here a
few thoughts and tips about the 2013
bracket.

There werent any really fervent argu-
ments when the bracket was revealed.
Gonzaga being the fourth No. 1 seed
caused a ripple of controversy because
it revived and an old argument: BCS
conference vs. the mid-majors. If the
Bulldogs werent a No. 1, Miami prob-
ably would have gotten it.
The last of the at-large selections
again werent full of emotion or in-
dignation. Again, it was BCS vs. mid-
majors with La Salle and Middle Ten-
nessee State being the last two in the
eld instead of the likes of Virginia,
Maryland and Iowa, all big-time pro-
grams with small-time nonconference
schedules.
Dont read anything into this about
Gonzaga not being a deserving No.
1 who is capable of winning the four
games that get you to the Final Four.
The Bulldogs, who go 10 deep in the
rotation, have a big front line led by
7-footer Kelly Olynyk and a solid back-
court featuring Kevin Pangos.

For those still wearing black after the
last Big East tournament as we know
it, eight Big East teams were selected
for the eld of 68, the most of any con-
ference. It is the fourth straight year
the Big East has had at least that many
teams selected, including an NCAA-re-
cord 11 in 2011. The Big East has had
at least eight teams chosen six times
since 2006.
No other conference has ever had
eight teams chosen for one eld.
And if you want to look ahead and
hope for a nal farewell for the Big
East next month, history says youll be
happy.

Hackenberg in the mix for PSU
By DEREK LEVARSE
dlevarse@timesleader.com
STATE COLLEGE He wont ar-
rive in Happy Valley for another three
months. But Christian Hackenberg will
have plenty of opportunity to win Penn
States starting quarterback job.
Bill OBrien isnt about to count him
out.
Certainly hell be in the mix (to
start), OBrien said Monday at his
spring press conference. At every
single position, were going to play the
best players
Christian cant do anything about
the fact that he cant be here until June.
So yeah, Christian will come in and
well teach him the offense, give him
some reps and well see how he does,
certainly.
With spring practice just open-
ing Monday in snowy State College,
OBrien isnt in a position to close any
doors yet. The Penn State coach said
he was eager to see what the quarter-
backs who are already on campus
sophomores Steven Bench and Tyler
Ferguson can do on the eld.
But there will always be plenty of
attention paid to Hackenberg, the in-
coming freshman from Virginia who is
rated by some recruiting services as the
top dropback passer in the nation.
Still, those ve-star ratings dont
mean anything once practices begin,
and Hackenberg will be forced to play
catch-up with Bench and Ferguson
once preseason camp opens in August.
OBrien did, however, cite the quick
progress Bench made last summer,
winning the top backup job as a rookie
despite limited time with the playbook.
In ideal circumstances, perhaps, the
Nittany Lions would have an experi-
enced and entrenched starter under
center, allowing them to redshirt Hack-
enberg this season.
With Matt McGloin having gradu-
ated, thats not the situation. So when
asked if he would ideally like to
redshirt Hackenberg given what he has
at quarterback, OBrien balked.
That is not necessarily the case, he
said.
Look you bring these guys in.
Theyre on full scholarship. Unless
theyre injured, then youre gonna put
them into the mix and let them com-
pete. And youre gonna play the best
players. Youre looking to go out there
and put your best football team on the
eld on Aug. 31 (in the season opener
against Syracuse).
Were a long way away from that.
But we dont look at anybody and say
were denitely gonna redshirt you.
Though Hackenberg understandably

Baylor, ND, UConn, Stanford top seeds
By DOUG FEINBERG
AP Basketball Writer
Brittney Griner and Baylors path to a
second straight national championship will
have a familiar feel.
Then again, so will the whole NCAA
womens basketball tournament. For the
rst time ever, the top four seeds are the
same for consecutive seasons. Baylor, Con-
necticut, Notre Dame and Stanford all
earned No. 1 spots when the eld was an-
nounced Monday night.
Unlike the mens side, where it was a
topsy-turvy season with major upsets seem-
ingly every week, womens basketball hasnt
had the same parity. The top six teams in
the nal Associated Press poll only had two
losses outside of each other, the fewest by
far since writers began voting for the APs
No. 1 in the 1994-95 season.
To think that the rest of the eld is go-
ing to catch up to Baylor or Notre Dame or
the top four or ve teams in the country this
year is probably unrealistic, UConn coach
Geno Auriemma said. But I think all those
teams between ve and 12 are way better
than theyve ever been.
The womens basketball madness gets
started Saturday the rst step en route
to the Final Four, which begins April 7 in
New Orleans.
Baylor coach Kim Mulkey hopes to make
it there with her Lady Bears, who will be
trying to become the fourth different school
to win consecutive national championships,
joining Southern California, UConn, and
Tennessee. Mulkey grew up in Louisiana.
Last season, Baylor was trying to becom-
ing the rst team to win 40 games in a sea-
son. Now they are just focused on the title.
Nothings different this year, Griner
said. Our goal is to win the six games and
win the national championship.
Standing in the way could be Tennessee.

the womens tournament, marking the second straight season
those four schools were the top seeds.

Christian Hackenberg ofcially signed with Penn State in February. By the time he joins the team in the summer, he
will be right in the mix for the starting quarterback job, according to coach Bill OBrien.

has the spotlight on him, Bench
would have to be considered
the early favorite by virtue of
having a year in the system al-
ready under his belt.
Ferguson, who transferred
to Penn State from a junior col-
lege in California, has only had
the playbook for a few months.
Monday was his rst practice
with OBrien and quarterbacks
coach Charlie Fisher.
Steven has been in the pro-
gram for a year and Tyler just
got here in January, and they
are both working at it, OBrien
said. I would say Steven prob-
ably knows (the offense) a little
bit better than Tyler right now
just because hes been here for
a year, which, thats not Tylers
fault. Hes catching up and hes
doing a good job learning.
Ferguson stands about an
inch taller than Bench, though
the newcomer has a slighter
frame without the benet of
Benchs full year in Penn States
overhauled strength program.
Ferguson nonetheless showed
off a nice spiral during the brief
period of the opening practice
that was open to media.
Bench showed an ability
to create on the move during
his lone stretch of meaning-
ful snaps last season when he
briey subbed in for an ailing
McGloin against Virginia. Fer-
guson has the experience of
being a starting quarterback
just last year at College of the
Sequoias.
By any metric, it gures to be
a close battle.
Theye both athletic, they
both can throw the football,
OBrien said. And now its go-
ing to depend on how well they
can make decisions and how
accurately they can throw the
football.
They both want to be
coached. Theyre both on time.
They sit in the front row and
they both pay attention and
take a lot of notes. Its a really
fun group to be around.
Kelsey Williams
School: Holy Redeemer
Grade: Senior
Sport: Swimming
Event: Girls diving
All in the Family: Kelsey, 17, is the daughter
of Dan and Kim Williams of Hanover Twp. Her
sister Riley, a freshman at Holy Redeemer, joined
Kelsey in competition at the PIAA Class 2A Div-
ing championships and their 13-year-old sister
Lindsey is a swimmer in the Wilkes-Barre CYC
program.
Stats: In her rst and only state appearance,
Williams - who set a new school record for diving
points three times in four weeks during the regu-
lar season - accumulated 399.50 points through
11 dives at the PIAA championships Wednesday
to earn a silver medal and bring long-time retir-
ing area diving coach Rob Jacobs his highest-
ever nish at the state tournament.
Nailing it: A strong start in her preliminary
round boosted Kelsey into second place enter-
ing the state seminals, and she was just seven
points off the lead entering the nal round of her
last three dives. She scored a 37.95 on a beauti-
ful backward somersault, 1 1/2 twister to move
within 1.5 points of the leader, then nailed a
breath-taking triple somersault tuck with a score
of 39.60. She was 2.2 points away from eventual
gold medalist McKenzie Stelter of Mohawk enter-
ing the nal dive, but her score of 30.80 on that
required state dive - and inward tuck - reected
the dives little degree of difculty. Still, her
score wound up just 7.2 points away from a gold
medal, and left Kelsey shining with a silver - and
the highest state nish by a Wyoming Valley
Conference swimmer or diver in this years state
meet.
Coachs corner: She had a real mental issue
last year, said diving coach Rob Jacobs, who
guided Wyoming Valley Wests divers for the
past nine years and served as Redeemers diving
coach this season. She wasnt even in the same
ballpark as some of these girls. She had a lot of
fears. That 1 1/2 with a full twist, she never even
thought about doing that dive. It takes a lot of
work. She said, This is my only time at states.
Ive got to make it count.
Did you know? If it seems as if the stars lined
up almost perfectly to put Kelsey on top of the
world during a state championship performance
that seemed like a dream to her, maybe they did.
Shes extremely interested in astronomy, study-
ing space and the universe, a passion she plans
to continue as she considers college programs to
dive for next year.
From her angle: I couldnt believe it, Williams
said of her second-place spot on the state medal
stand. It just didnt seem real. At the same
time, I was really happy. I went into that meet
not knowing too much about the other divers,
not knowing what to expect. I thought I was way
ahead of myself and denitely couldnt stand up
against the competition. I didnt really know until
the last three dives I was close (to winning). I
think I did great on about all my dives.
Week in review: The Holy Redeemer girls basket-
ball team suffered a tough 44-40 second-round
state loss to Villa Maria, but that didnt stop
Alexis Lewis fron shining. She nished Wednes-
day night with 13 points, 13 rebounds, ve steals,
three assists and two blocks. Lake-Lehmans
Matthew Edkins earned the WVCs only boys
top-three nish at states, scoring 407.350 to
bring home a bronze medal in Class 2A boys div-
ing. Wyoming Valley Wests Collin Vest pulled
off one of the most dramatic rallies of last weeks
PIAA Swimming and Diving championships by
just getting to the medal stand. Threatened with
being left out of Saturdays seminal round,
Vest pulled down a rare score of 60 on his nal
dive of the preliminary round to advance, then
passed three competitors on his nal two dives
to earn a seventh-place PIAA Class 3A boys
diving medal. Vests school mate, Spartans
super sophomore Ed Zawatski, earned himself
a new nickname and his rst state medal. Fast
Eddie set a new school record by sprinting to
a new school-record time of 20.92 seconds in
the 50-yard freestyle, earning fth place in the
boys Class 3A competition Friday. Dallas Brian
Stepniak may fancy himself as an artist on the
pitchers mound, but he really hit the corners as
the WVCs only three-time medalist in the state
swim meet. Stepniak nished sixth in the 50
freestyle, seventh in the 100 free and helped the
Mountaineers 200 free relay team nish seventh
in boys Class 2A competition. He nearly made it
a 4-for-4 weekend when it comes to medals, but
Dallas 400 free relay team just missed the nals
cut and wound up ninth in the state. His Dallas
teammate Marcus Wagner, who also swam on
that 200 free relay team, was part of three con-
solation state runs in Class 2A and set a school
record swimming the 500 freestyle. Tunkhan-
nocks Ben Spencer swam away with two state
medals for nishing fth in the Class 2A boys
200 IM and sixth in the 100 backstroke.
AdamWayman is once again
doing the job for the Rider Uni-
versity baseball team.
Wayman (GAR) is hitting .314
(16-for-51) with four doubles,
seven RBI and nine runs scored
for the 8-6 Broncs. At third base,
hes made just one error on 27
chances (.963).
Adam bats third for us and
hes been pretty consistent since
hes been here and hes a good
leader, coach Barry Davis said.
His experience is certainly go-
ing to pay off. There are not
many situations that he hasnt
experienced.
The 6-foot-1, 195-pounder
entered this season with 166 ca-
reer hits in 159 games, the hits
34
th
most in Rider baseball his-
tory. He collected his 100
th
hit in
his 99
th
game last season.
Wayman was an All-New Jer-
sey selection and a Metro Atlan-
tic Athletic Conference All-Tour-
nament selection last season
when hit .297 in 55 games and
led Rider with 63 hits and 36
runs scored. He also had 13 dou-
bles and 30 RBI.
BELLES REBOUNDING
Senior Erin Belles (Dallas)
is serving as designated hitter
with the Cornell softball team.
Shes hitting .428 (9-for-21) with
a double, home run, two runs
scored and ve RBI. She had a
two-run homer and an RBI sin-
gle in a 3-2 victory over Robert
Morris last Saturday and was
two-for-two in a 4-3 loss to Val-
paraiso Sunday.
Erin is rebounding from a
knee injury and subsequently a
back injury, coach Dick Blood
said.
Belles is a record-setting
weightlifter at Cornell.
She should see valuable time
in the DH role, the coach said.
She has worked hard in the off-
season with her glove and hopes
to gain innings at the corners.
Sophomore Kristan Baker
(Dallas) is also on the squad.
Shes seen action in two games.
She played at Tomkins-Cortland
Community College last season.
Kristan is recovering from a
back injury as well, Blood said.
She missed two months in the
fall and three weeks this winter.
She is just now swinging the bat
with authority. She has power
and is fearless on defense. It will
take time for her to catch up
but she is a tireless worker and
maintains a positive attitude.
MEDVECKY HELPING LI-
ONS Sophomore John Med-
vecky (Hazleton Area) is hit-
ting .318 (7-for-22) in the early
going with the Albright baseball
team. He has a double and ve
RBI, and had two RBI singles in
a 5-4 victory over Delaware Val-
ley last weekend.
John has gotten off to a good
start as our starting third base-
man, coach Jeff Feiler said. He
has looked much more comfort-
able and condent this season
with a year of experience under
his belt and has given us strong
defensive play and has shown
improvement at the plate.
The Lions are 6-3 in the early
going.
We are looking for John to
continue his performance and
become a bigger part of our of-
fense as the season moves on,
Feiler said.
ADRIAN IN ACTION Ju-
nior BenAdrianof Dallas (Wyo-
ming Seminary) and his Lycom-
ing mens lacrosse team travel
to Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday
to play Kings College at 4 p.m.
Adrian, a 5-foot-9, 180-pound
midelder, has seven ground
balls and a caused turnover for
the 1-5 Warriors and has also
picked up an assist.
Ben is someone who has
lled a variety of roles for us on
and off the eld, coach Todd
Hodgson said. He has played
mideld and runs as our long
stick middie occasionally. His
work ethic is great and it has
helped him get better every
day.
The coach calls Adrian an un-
selsh player who will do what-
ever is asked of him.
This year Ben has stepped
up as a vocal leader and says
the right things to encourage
his teammates, Hodgson said.
He has also thrived in the class
room (Middle Atlantic Confer-
ence Academic honor roll as a
sophomore). He is exactly the
type of person we want repre-
senting Lycoming lacrosse.
WOYTACH DOUBLES UP
Jonathan Woytach (Pittston
Area) is having a big start to his
senior season playing with the
Marywood baseball team and
he came up big for the Pacers
last weekend in a doubleheader
against Immaculata.
He had three doubles and
a single in eight at-bats but it
wasnt enough as Immaculata
won both games (2-0, 4-0). On
the season, hes hitting .400 (14-
for-35). And, the second base-
man has made just one error on
34 chances.
Woytach was an All-Colonial
States Athletic Conference rst-
team choice as a junior batting
second. He hit .343 and was
among the team leaders in most
offensive categories.
Jonathan was probably one
of the most skilled and effective
bunters in the country, coach
Gerald Davis said.
This season, the coach moved
Woytach to the leadoff spot due
to his high on-base percentage
and his ability to hit with two
strikes.
With him hitting leadoff, it
gives us more options from an
offensive standpoint, Davis
said. Once again I expect him
to be among the leading hitters
in the conference. This being
his senior season we look for
Jonathan to continue to be our
leader, both on and off the eld.
DUO WITH HUSKIES Ju-
nior Mandi Black (Northwest)
and sophomore Erica Yanora
(Tunkhannock) are members of
the Bloomsburg softball team
which is 6-1 to start the season.
Black is a versatile performer.
She plays in the eld as well as
pitches. Shes hitting .143 (1-for-
7) with three runs scored and
has worked three innings in re-
lief and has given up one hit and
no runs.
Mandi has a lot of natural
ability and has really improved
to bring her game to the college
level, coach Susan Kocher said.
We look for her to contribute at
third base, pitching and possibly
in the outeld. She is quick with
good foot speed and the poten-
tial to be a power hitter.
Yanora, who had a solid fresh-
man season, is hitting just .174
(4-for-23) thus far. She has a
double, triple, home run, four
runs scored and ve RBI.
Erica is very talented and
had a terric freshman year,
Kocher said. She has begun the
season right where she left off
last season but has improved in
all areas, especially as a leader
on the eld.
GOODEFFORTFORBONE
Sophomore Jordan Bone
(Pittston Area) had a solid
performance pitching for the
Maryland-Eastern Shore base-
ball team last Sunday. He start-
ed against Coppin State and
worked six innings and gave up
six hits, three runs, all earned,
while walking two and striking
out two. The Hawks lost 6-5 but
he wasnt charged with the loss.
He has pitched in four games
and started three and has a 3.86
earned run average. Hes worked
14 innings and given up 13 hits,
nine runs (six earned) with
eight walks and six strikeouts.
Jordan is throwing the ball
extremely well this season,
coach Pedro Swann said. He
has not had any setbacks thus
far. He is working very hard this
season and I am very proud of
what he has accomplished thus
far.

Wayman powering Rider baseball

GAR grad Adam Wayman is
batting .314 for Division I
Rider.
In the end, it was bragging
rights for the defense and a se-
ries of up-downs for the offense.
Personnel notes
On offense, OBrien claried
that junior Miles Dieffenbach
will remain at guard. He had
been listed as a center on Penn
States initial spring roster up-
date, but there are no plans to
have him compete for the start-
ing center job.
To open the spring, senior Ty
Howle will take the place of the
departed Matt Stankiewitch at
center. Promising sophomore
Angelo Mangiro could chal-
lenge for the starting spot even-
tually but is currently battling a
hamstring injury, according to
OBrien.
That makes the rst-team
spring offensive line, from left
to right, Donovan Smith, Dief-
fenbach, Howle, John Urschel
and Adam Gress.
On the other side of the ball,
OBrien said he is excited to see
Valley Views Nyeem Wartman
work with Glenn Carson and
Mike Hull as the rst-team line-
backers this spring.
We dont have a lot of depth
at linebacker, OBrien said,
noting that Ben Kline will miss
spring ball while recovering
from shoulder surgery. But
Nyeem Wartman we think has
a really bright future. Nyeem,
I think he worked very hard this
offseason and were looking for-
ward to seeing what he can do.
Inrmary report
OBrien said Kline is the
lone player who will sit out
the spring session entirely. A
pair of returning starters in
tight end Kyle Carter (wrist)
and safety Stephen Obeng-
Agyapong (shoulder) will par-
ticipate but will be held out of
contact drills.
Heralded true freshman
tight end Adam Breneman will
participate but the staff will
monitor his workload closely
as he returns to the eld from
the ACL injury he suffered last
summer.
Redshirt freshman Malik
Golden (safety/receiver) and
senior lineman Nate Cadogan
will split their spring reps be-
tween offense and defense.

midway through the third pe-

ning beat the Philadelphia Fly-
ers 4-2 on Monday night.
Purcells in-close deection
at 9:25 of the third came shortly
after the Lightning killed off a
short-handed situation.
Ondrej Palat, Tom Pyatt and
Steven Stamkos also scored for
Tampa Bay, which improved to
12-1 when leading after the rst
period. Stamkos scored his 21st

net with 3 seconds to play.
Maxime Talbot and Claude
Giroux had goals as Philadel-
phia fell to 0-11 when trailing
entering the second period.
Flyers defenseman Kimmo

BEGIN
SEEDS
The Lady Vols, who have made
every NCAA tournament since
it began in 1982, are the No. 2
seed in Baylors region. This
will be the rst time that coach
Pat Summitt wont be on the
sidelines. Summitt stepped
down after last season because
she had been aficted with ear-
ly onset dementia, Alzheimers
type.
The whole season has been
different, and at times, its
hard, said longtime assistant
Holly Warlick, who took over
this season and guided the Lady
Vols to an SEC regular season
title. Other times, its OK.
But I still have her there. Shes
still around these young ladies.
Shes still there in spirit and ev-
erything else, and shes still a
vital part of this team.
While Tennessee set the stan-
dard in womens basketball,
Stanford has been one of the
most dominant teams lately.
The Cardinal will try and
reach the Final Four for a sixth
straight season and end Hall of
Fame coach Tara VanDerveers
21-year drought without a na-
tional championship.
Led by junior star Chiney Og-
wumike, Stanford may already
have the most impressive win
this season, ending Baylors 42-
game winning streak in Novem-
ber. Thats the only loss that the
defending national champion
Lady Bears suffered this season.
The Cardinal, who will open
up against Tulsa at home on
Sunday, could face No. 2 seed
California in the regional nal.
The Golden Bears shared the
Pac-12 title with Stanford this
season after ending the Cardi-
nals 81-game conference win-
ning streak in January.
Notre Dame will be trying to
make it back to a third straight
national championship game.
The Irish, led by senior guard
Skylar Diggins, have already
had an incredible season los-
ing only to Baylor. Notre Dame
won its rst Big East tourna-
ment championship last Tues-
day and also went undefeated
in the conference in the regular
season.
Unlike the other three No. 1
seeds, who are playing at home,
the Irish will open up on the
road against Tennessee-Martin.
Potentially they could face host
Iowa in the second round.
Lower seeded team playing
on higher seeded oors is part
of our format, NCAA selec-
tion committee chair Carolayne
Henry said. We looked at put-
ting Notre Dame in Columbus.
But to make our bracket work
we werent able to put Notre
Dame there.
Notre Dame coach Muffet
McGraw said the Irish will just
have to live with it.
Its disappointing that we
didnt get a neutral site. I
thought that the committee
would take care of the No. 1
seed, but youve got to play
good teams, she said. If were
the No. 1 seed, we ought to be
able to take care of business in
the rst round, at least.
The Irish swept all three
meetings with Connecticut
and have dominated the series
recently, winning seven of the
past eight meetings, including
the past two in the Final Four.

The conference has had ve
schools make a Final Four ap-
pearance in the last four years,
including Connecticuts re-
markable title run led by Kem-
ba Walker in 2011.

Even though Thursday be-
gins the two-day national
basketball holiday when the
tournament gets under way in
earnest, dont forget Tuesday
and Wednesday. The games
ofcially known as the First
Four will be incorrectly called
the play-in round but they
could be the springboard to the
Final Four as they were for
VCU in 2011.
On Tuesday at Dayton, it
will be North Carolina A&T
against Liberty, the lone team
in the eld with a losing record,
in a matchup of 16 seeds and
Middle Tennessee facing Saint
Marys, Calif., in a matchup of
11s. On Wednesday, its LIU-
Brooklyn meeting James Madi-
son in a 16 matchup and Boise
State facing La Salle in a game
between 13 seeds.
When VCU made its run to
the Final Four, the Rams beat
Southern California in a game
of 11 seeds, No. 6 Georgetown,
No. 3 Purdue, No. 10 Florida
State and top-seeded Kansas.
They lost to Butler in the na-
tional seminals.

Heres a grasp at a Final Four
(check someplace else to see if
Im smart):
MIDWEST: Its hard to pick
against top-seeded Louisville
after the way the Cardinals
have played during their 10-
game winning streak that
included the Big East tourna-
ment. This, however, is by far
the toughest of the regions. No.
2 Duke, with Ryan Kelly back in
the lineup, is in it, along with
third-seeded Michigan State
which gets to play its rst two
games in nearby Auburn Hills,
Mich. Then theres Saint Louis,
the teamlling the bill of every-
ones chic pick.
WEST: The talk was all about
Gonzaga getting its rst No. 1
seed and keeping aloft the ban-
ner for the non-BCS schools.
The other seeded teams are
Ohio State, off a win at the Big
Ten tournament, New Mexico,
a team a lot of people are still
waiting to make up their minds
about, and Kansas State, a team
that would have had a great
season if not for Kansas, which
beat the Wildcats three times.
SOUTH: Another really in-
teresting group of seeds. No. 1
Kansas has made its three-game
losing streak seem like months
ago. Georgetown had been on
a very solid 12-game run until
the Hoyas ran into Syracuse
in the Big East semis. Third-
seeded Florida was everybodys
pick a couple of weeks ago and
the Gators even got players
back from injuries, but they
have struggled in close games.
Michigan rounds out the group
and the Wolverines have to nd
a way to follow the lead of star
guard Trey Burke.
EAST: Indiana spent the
most weeks this season as the
No. 1 team in the AP poll so
the Hoosiers are right at home
as the top seed. Miami, the vet-
eran team with the sophomore
point guard in Shane Larkin,
cant let not being the No. 1
seed affect them. The No. 3
seed is Marquette, a Big East
tri-champion which came up
at in the Big East tournament.
Syracuse is the fourth seed.

Hawes had 18 points and 13 re-
bounds, and Jrue Holiday scored
27 points to lead the Philadel-
phia 76ers to a 101-100 victory
over the Portland Trail Blazers
on Monday night.
The Sixers wasted a 14-point
lead and Portland took the
lead late in the fourth. Holiday,
though, rallied the Sixers and
stretched the lead to 101-97 on
a pair of free throws.
Damian Lillard hit a 3-pointer
to cut it to 101-100. Holiday fell
on the inbound pass and the ball
sailed into the Sixers bench, giv-
ing Portland the ball with 7.1
seconds left. LaMarcus Aldridge
missed the potential winner on
a turnaround over Hawes.
Aldridge had 32 points and 14
rebounds, and Lillard scored 27
points.

Deron Williams scored 31 points

and fell to 2-13 since the All-Star
break. Pistons coach Lawrence
Frank returned after missing six
games to be with his seriously ill
wife. Frank is planning to return
to New Jersey before Detroit
plays Friday in Miami.
The Nets, coming off a
12-point loss to Atlanta on Sun-
day, pulled within a half-game
of New York in the Atlantic Di-
vision, with the Knicks playing
later Monday at Utah.
Brook Lopez added 18 points
and seven rebounds, while for-
mer Pistons guard Jerry Stack-
house had 10 points in his rst
game since Jan. 26.
Bobcats 119, Wizards 114
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Ger-
ald Henderson had 27 points,
Kemba Walker came up big late
and the Charlotte Bobcats de-
feated Washington to snap the
Wizards three-game win streak.
Walker scored nine of his 18
points in the nal three minutes
to spark a 12-0 run, lifting the
Bobcats to only their second
win in their last 14 games.
Pacers 111, Cavaliers 90
CLEVELAND Gerald

The Associated Press
Captain America used to be
Derek Jeter. Now its David
Wright, and he had been the
star for Team USA until a rib
strain ended his stay in the
World Baseball Classic.
Wright said he could have
played, but the New York Mets
said no and demanded he go
for tests. That is normal pro-
cedure, as Team USA is forced
to honor all wishes of a players
parent club.
Minus Wright, his teammates
lost twice and went home. With
the U.S. elimination went TV
ratings in this country. It also
opened a door to study the rel-
evance of the WBC, at least in
its current form.
Relevance, maybe. Or need
that may be a better ques-
tion.
The WBCtournament, as we
are led to believe, is designed to
promote baseball throughout
the world. Asian teams, Spain,
Italy and the Netherlands get
national TV coverage.
There are many human inter-
est stories coming out of those
clubs, whose players for the
most part dont compete in the
majors, and this provides expo-
sure to them and their passion
for baseball.
Now, the big question: Why
cant the USA Dream Team
walk through this tournament
with ease?
Answer one, its not a Dream
Team. And two, there are three
Latino countries the Domin-
ican Republic, Puerto Rico and
Venezuela with talent just
as rich. But even they havent
won it.
That honor went to Japan
in both previous tournaments.
Why? Japan goes all in for the
WBC, its out to prove some-
thing. The best they have play,
even though this time it lost in
the seminals. Its the Japanese
mindset of anything worth do-
ing is worth doing right, being
invested totally.
The U.S. doesnt take the
same approach for this compe-
tition. It has higher priorities,
players on mega-contracts to
protect and personal issues.
Many players have legitimate
needs to stay with their clubs
during spring training.
Josh Hamilton cant leave
Angels camp, Ryan Howard
is coming off an injury and
Stephen Strasburg has well-
documented arm issues. There
are legit reasons why the U.S.
players are not all in, nor do I
feel they ever will be.
With other countries, the
stars who are physically OK do
play. For some reason they are
committed to country, not par-
ent team. Look at Jose Reyes,
who has good reason to turn
down the Dominican invita-
tion. He was a new player in
camp with the Toronto Blue
Jays, good reason to stay home.
But no. With so many Domini-
can big names playing, he felt
obligated.
Team USA was denitely
formidable, with high-caliber
players at all positions, but
not an All-Star roster by any
means. The catcher, third base-
man, shortstop, right and left
elders would be on an All-Star
roster, as would the 1-2 starters
and a reliever or two, but thats
about it.
It was basically the same for
other competing teams. The
Dominican and Puerto Rico
had top players, but not MLB
All-Stars at all positions. The
talent level was very similar,
thats why Team USA loses.
In baseball, if the talent is
similar anything can happen.
Imagine a rotation of Stras-
burg, Justin Verlander, Cole
Hamels, Matt Cain and David
Price? Three innings apiece
should win every game, espe-
cially with Craig Kimbrel and
Jonathan Papelbon at the end.
Throw Hamilton and Mike
Trout in the middle of the or-
der, now youre talking about
dominant players and a domi-
nant team, a Dream Team.
Aint going to happen, too
many issues.

Skier Vonn, golfer
Woods are now dating
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Sports
has a new power couple: Tiger
Woods and Lindsey Vonn con-
rmed theyre dating.
Two months after rumors
began circulating in Europe,
Woods and Vonn posted sepa-
rate items on their Facebook
pages Monday afternoon to
announce their relationship.
The posts include photos of
golfs 14-time major winner and
the Olympic and World Cup
downhill ski champion.
This season has been great
so far and Im happy with my
wins at Torrey and Doral,
Woods said. Something nice
thats happened off the course
was meeting Lindsey Vonn.
Lindsey and I have been friends
for some time, but over the last
few months we have become
very close and are now dating.
Woods made a stop in Austria
-- where Vonn was compet-
ing in the Alpine skiing world
championships -- in January on
his way to Abu Dhabi to start
his season.
I guess it wasnt a well-kept
secret but yes, I am dating
Tiger Woods, Vonn said on her
Facebook page. Our relation-
ship evolved from a friendship
into something more over these
past few months and it has
made me very happy.
Vonn is recovering from
right knee surgery -- something
familiar to Woods -- after a Feb.
5 crash that ended her season.
Her divorce from Thomas Vonn
after more than four years be-
came ofcial in January. They
separated in 2011.

Super Bowl seat case
tossed from fed court
PITTSBURGH A fed-
eral judge in Pittsburgh has
dismissed one lawsuit from
people who bought tickets to
the February 2011 Super Bowl
in Dallas, but had to watch it on
TV because their seats werent
properly installed in time for
the game.
U.S. District Judge David
Cercone dismissed the fraud
claim saying the four buyers
cant prove that the National
Football League and the Dallas
Cowboys intended to defraud
anyone. The Cowboys stadium
was hosting the game between
the Green Bay Packers and
Pittsburgh Steelers.
The judge says the case
is a contract dispute but the
ticket-holders cant pursue it in
federal court because the com-
bined ticket, travel and hotel
costs dont exceed $75,000.
A separate trial for hundreds
of other ticket holders is sched-
uled in Dallas in October.

Raceway crash probe
looks at steering wheel
SAN FRANCISCO -- Authori-
ties are investigating whether
a faulty steering wheel caused
a California raceway crash that
killed two people, including the
cousin of the teenage driver.
Undersheriff Jerry Read
of the Yuba County Sheriffs
Department said Monday that
investigators are looking into
witness reports that the detach-
able steering wheel came off
just before 17-year-old Chase
Johnsons car careened off the
track and crashed into pit row.
Sheriffs ofcials say 68-year-
old race car owner Dale
Wondergem of Grass Valley and
14-year-old Marcus Johnson of
Santa Rosa were killed by the
collision at Marysville Raceway
Park, about 40 miles north of

Retired
players
cash in
The Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS The NFL
has agreed to pay $42 million as
part of a settlement with a group
of retired players who chal-
lenged the league over using
their names and images without
their consent.
The league will use the money
to fund a common good trust
over the next eight years that
will help retired players with an
array of issues including medical
expenses, housing and career
transition. The settlement also
establishes a licensing agency
for retired players to ensure they
are compensated for the use of
their identities in promotional
materials.
The settlement could improve
the frosty relationship between
the NFL and many of its retired
players who have felt left behind
as the league has exploded in
popularity over the last decade.
Former stars like Mike Ditka,
Jim Brown and others have lob-
bied hard for more help dealing
with retired players mounting
nancial difculties and medical
expenses.
Brown called the settlement a
landmark for those who really
need it.
Hall of Famer Elvin Bethea
and ve other retired players
led the federal class-action
lawsuit in Minneapolis in 2009
accusing the NFL of blatantly
exploiting retired players iden-
tities in lms, highlight reels
and memorabilia to market the
leagues glory days.
The retired players who cre-
ated these glory days, however,
have gone almost completely
uncompensated for this use of
their identities, the plaintiffs
said. Notably, while exploiting
the identities of retired players
for commercial gain, the NFL
prohibits retired NFL players
from using their own identities
as players to promote them-
selves commercially.
No playoff changes
The NFL will not be adding
teams to the playoffs this sea-
son, but still is discussing an ex-
panded postseason.
Commissioner Roger Goodell
says Monday that the leagues
competition committee has
looked into adding teams to the
playoffs, and the topic will be
discussed at this weeks owners
meetings. But it clearly wont
happen this year, Goodell says.
Ravens might open on road
PHOENIX The Baltimore
Ravens could open the season
on the road because of a sched-
uling conict with baseballs
Orioles.
The NFL traditionally kicks
off the season with the Super
Bowl champion as the host team
on the Thursday night after La-
bor Day. But the Orioles are
scheduled to be home that night
at Camden Yards, which is locat-
ed close by M&TBank Stadium.

ruled out the right-hander
missing his rst turn during

Once they feel like Im

IN BRIEF
Chrysler recalls cars for re risk
Chrysler is telling owners of about
2,500 Dodge Challenger muscle cars
with V-6 engines not to drive them be-
cause a short in a wiring circuit can set
them on re.
Owners also are being told not to
park the cars in a garage or near a struc-
ture until the problem can be xed.
The cars are from the 2013 model
year and have V-6 engines. They were
made during the eight weeks that end-
ed Jan. 24.
The company is notifying owners by
telephone and mail and will provide
loaner cars until repairs are made, at
no cost to the owners. Chrysler also
will transport the cars to dealerships
to make the repairs, spokesman Eric
Mayne said.
Challenger owners whohave questions
should contact their dealers, he said.
Builder condence down
Condence among U.S. homebuild-
ers fell this month because of concerns
that increased demand for new homes
is exceeding supplies of ready-to-build
land, building materials and workers.
In the short term, those constraints
could slow sales. But builders outlook
for sales over the next six months has
reached its strongest point in more
than six years.
The National Association of Home
Builders/Wells Fargo builder senti-
ment index released Monday fell to 44
from 46 in February. It was the second
decline since January, which was pre-
ceded by eight straight monthly gains.
A measure of current sales conditions
declined from Februarys reading.
Rig owner starts defense
The owner of the drilling rig that ex-
ploded at the outset of the 2010 Gulf
of Mexico oil spill catastrophe started
its defense Monday at a trial designed
to determine the disasters causes and
assign fault to the companies involved.
Transocean Ltd. called its rst wit-
ness, well control expert Calvin Barnhill,
on the 13th day of the trial. Transocean
president and CEO Steven Newman was
scheduled to testify Tuesday.
U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier al-
ready has heard testimony by more than
a dozen witnesses called by the Justice
Department and attorneys for Gulf Coast
businesses and residents who claim the
spill cost themmoney. The plaintiffs law-
yers still expect to call another witness to
the stand this week, an employee of ce-
ment contractor Halliburton.
BP could be on the hook for nearly
$18 billion in penalties under the Clean
Water Act if the judge nds that it acted
with gross negligence.

NEW YORK If you think a
Whoppers too indulgent but are sick
of chicken sandwiches, Burger King
is offering a turkey burger for the rst
time.
The Miami-based company is roll-
ing out the new sandwich this week
as part of its limited-time offers for
spring, marking the latest fast-food
effort to cater to health-conscious
diners. Last week, McDonalds said
it plans to offer a lower-calorie ver-
sion of its Egg McMufn made with
egg whites. The Oak Brook, Ill.-based
chainsaidthe egg whites will be avail-
able for any other breakfast sandwich
on its menu as well.
McDonalds and Wendys said
they have no records indicating they
ever offered a turkey burger, mean-
ing Burger King would be the big-
gest fast-food chain to do so. But its
not the rst. Sister chains Carls Jr.
and Hardees launched a trio of tur-
key burgers as limited-time offers in
late 2010; they were so popular that
theyre now a permanent part of the
menus.
Turkey burgers as a category is
growing pretty rapidly in the restau-
rant space, said Eric Hirschhorn,
who heads global innovation for
Burger King.
As with Carls Jr. and Hardees,
Burger King said its turkey burger
could be added to the permanent
lineup if sales are strong enough.
Carls Jr. and Hardees introduced
turkey burgers in response to consum-
ers in their 20s and 30s, who are more
mindful about what theyre eating than
past generations, said Brad Haley, chief
marketing ofcer for CKERestaurants,
the parent company of the chains. At
the same time, he noted that the tur-
key burgers which come with top-
pings like guacamole and pepperjack
cheesearesuccessful becausetheyre
still seen as indulgent and lling. In
terms of nutritional content, hesaidthe
key was just to keep them under 500
calories.
Showing that the healthy glowisnt
strictly about calories, Burger Kings
turkey burger clocks in at 530 calo-
ries, compared with 470 calories for
its grilled chicken sandwich. A regu-
lar Whopper is 630 calories.
Burger Kings ability to charbroil its
turkey burgers may play an important
role in whether theyre successful.
When cooked on a at-top griddle,
Haley said turkey burgers can end up
having that refrigerator avor that
makes themtaste gamey.
If you charbroil them, that doesnt
happen, Haley said. It has a nice,
fresh, clean turkey meat avor.

WASHINGTON Unemployment
rates increased in half of U.S. states in
January from December, as employers
nationwide added the fewest jobs in
seven months.
The Labor Department said Mon-
day that unemployment rates rose in
25 states. They fell in only 8 states and
were unchanged in 17.
Despite the increase, some long-
suffering states showed improvement
in January.
Floridas unemployment rate fell be-
low the national level for the rst time
in ve years, further evidence that the
state is recovering from a deep hous-
ing slump.
And Michigan, which has beneted
from the comeback of the auto in-
dustry, added 26,500 jobs in January
the most of any state. Its unem-
ployment rate was unchanged at 8.9
percent.
Nationally, the unemployment
rate ticked up in January to 7.9
percent from 7.8 percent in Decem-
ber. Employers added only 119,000
jobs, down from 219,000 in Decem-
ber.
Job gains have since accelerated.
Employers added 236,000 jobs in Feb-
ruary, and the national unemployment
rate fell to a four-year low of 7.7 per-
cent.
Florida has added 127,500 jobs in
the past year, the third most of any
state. The state has beneted from
greater tourism as the U.S. economy
has slowly recovered. That has led to
more jobs at hotels, restaurants and
retail stores.
North Dakota had the lowest unem-
ployment rate among states in Janu-
ary, at 3.3 percent. It has beneted
from an oil and gas boom. Nebraska
had the second lowest at 3.8 percent,
followed by South Dakota at 4.4 per-
cent.

N
ICOSIA, Cyprus A
plan to seize up to 10 per-
cent of peoples savings in
the small Mediterranean
island nation of Cyprus sent shock-
waves across Europe on Monday as
households realized the money they
have in the bank may not be safe.
A weekend agreement between Cy-
prus and its European partners called
for the government to raid bank ac-
counts as part of a $15.8 billion ($20.4
billion) nancial bailout, the rst time
in the eurozones crisis that the pros-
pect of seizing individuals savings has
been raised.
Facing outrage, Cyprus govern-
ment delayed a parliamentary vote on
the seizure and ordered banks to re-
main shut until Thursday while it tries
to modify the deal to reduce the hit on
people with small deposits.
Several hundred people gathered
outside the vacant parliament build-
ing, with some chanting thieves,
thieves.
Were very angry, betrayed, hurt
and extremely disappointed, said pro-
tester Andriana Constantinou.
In order to get $10 billion ($13 bil-
lion) in bailout loans frominternation-
al creditors, Cyprus agreed to take a
percentage of all deposits including
ordinary citizens savings. The sur-
prise deal stoked fears that deposits in
other countries could be targeted.
The damage is done, said Louise
Cooper of CooperCity, a nancial re-
search rm. Europeans now know
that their savings could be used to bail
out banks.
The euro and stocks around the
world took a hit even though the Cy-
priot economy accounts for only 0.2
percent of the combined output of the
17 European Union countries that use
the currency.
The Cypriot government is now
trying to modify the terms of the
original plan and in particular to
get a better deal for small savers
with less than $100,000. The week-
end deal foresaw a one-off charge of
6.75 percent on those savings, rising
to 9.9 percent for those above the
$100,000 mark.
While trying to make the package
more appetizing for those with low
savings, the government has to make
sure that the total raised remains the
same at $5.8 billion.

Buffalo real estate broker Cris-
ten Gregory learned early that
vegetables could become the
focal point of a tasty meal. Thats
what happens when your parents
favor a European diet.
The main emphasis of the
meal was never meat, said
Gregory, a Toronto native and
vegetarian whose business card,
unsurprisingly, is green.
For lifetime veggie lovers like
her, its easier to eat green, one
of the healthiest nutrition deci-
sions one can make.
Healthy eaters say a vegetarian
lifestyle has good lessons for ev-
eryone. If you follow their advice,
you will learn to:
Check the labels: Everyone
should pay more attention to
them but vegetarians have an
extra incentive: making sure a
product doesnt contain meat.
Some yogurts use pork jelly;
some curries or MSG contain
shrimp; even some pain medica-
tions contain animal esh. Those
who check labels also can assure
theyre not getting too much
sugar, salt, fat or processed food
ingredients.
Go with alternatives: Without
meat stock, its harder to make
food taste full, Chris Connolly
says, but its not impossible. Vin-
egar, wine, sherry, garlic, mush-
rooms, tomatoes and cheese all
add plenty of richness. Different
oils can really make a difference,
too, he said. A healthy red sauce
can be made with tomatoes,
light olive oil, extra garlic, extra
onions and wine. Then there are
healthy juices that can include
kale, cucumber, ginger, pear, wa-
termelon, carrot and celery.
Get roasted: Roasting adds
more taste to vegetables and
really changes the avors, Con-
nolly says. At the cafe, we do all
of our vegetables the same way.
We toss them in olive oil, salt,
pepper and garlic powder and we
throw them in a really hot oven
until theyre starting to brown up
around the edges a little bit.
Enjoy the savings: Gregory
often hears complaints that
vegetarianism can get expen-
sive, but fresh fruits, herbs and
vegetables, when compared to
unhealthy foods, are generally
reasonably priced ounce per
ounce, especially for those who
grow them in their own gardens.

WASHINGTON Diners will have
to wait a little longer to nd calo-
rie counts on most restaurant chain
menus, in supermarkets and on vend-
ing machines.
Writing a new menu labeling law
has gotten extremely thorny, says
the head of the Food and Drug Admin-
istration, as the agency tries to gure
out who should be covered by it.
The 2010 health care law charged
the FDA with requiring chain restau-
rants and other establishments that
serve food to put calorie counts on
menus and in vending machines. The
agency issued a proposed rule in 2011,
but the nal rules have since been de-
layed as some of those non-restaurant
establishments have lobbied hard to
be exempt.
While the restaurant industry has
signed on to the idea and helped to
write the new regulations, supermar-
kets, convenience stores and other re-
tailers that sell prepared food say they
want no part of it.
There are very, very strong opin-
ions and powerful voices both on the
consumer and public health side and
on the industry side, and we have
worked very hard to sort of gure out
what really makes sense and also what
is implementable, FDA Commission-
er Margaret Hamburg said in a recent
interview with The Associated Press.
Hamburg said menu labeling has
turned out to be one of the FDAs most
challenging issues, and while requir-
ing calorie counts in some establish-
ments might make sense on paper, in
practice it really would be very hard.
She did not say what specic types of
establishments she was referring to.
The challenges of putting such a
law in place and deciding whom
it should apply to were made clear
Monday when a judge struck down
New York Citys ban on large sugary
drinks. State Supreme Court Justice
Milton Tingling said in his ruling that
the 16-ounce limit on sodas and other
high-calorie drinks arbitrarily applied
to only some sweet beverages and
some places that sell them. The new
FDA head says

hat if youcouldget a goodamount of nu-
trition and feel satised all from a tiny
seed? Think ch-ch-ch-chia. Most of
us remember that jingle (youre probably singing it
as you read this) advertising the terra-cotta plant-
ers in the shape of pets. Once you soaked the seeds
and slathered the gooey mixture on the planter, it
sprouted fuzzy greens in a few days. Turns out
those black seeds are full of nutrients.
By SuSAN M. SELASKY | Detroit Free Press
ABOUT THE SEEDS
Chia, also known as Salvia hispanica,
comes from a owering plant native to
Mexico and Central America and also
grown in Australia. Here are some things
you might not know:
Chia is a member of the mint family.
Chia seeds are mainly black, but you can
buy white ones.
Aztec and Mayan cultures relied on it
to keep their civilization healthy, Wayne
Coates writes in Chia: The Complete
Guide to the Ultimate Superfood. In fact,
the name chia means strength in Mayan.
Chia seeds are sold at health food stores,
Whole Foods Market and some grocery
stores. Prices vary.

limits, championed by Mayor
Michael Bloomberg, were sup-
posed to take effect Tuesday.
Hamburg said the FDA is in
the nal stages of writing the
menu labeling regulations and
the nal rules should come
out in the relative near term.
The FDA has tentatively said
the rules are due this spring,
but that deadline may be opti-
mistic as the food industry and
regulators continue to haggle
over how they will be written.
The 2011 proposed rules
would require chain restau-
rants with 20 or more loca-
tions, along with bakeries,
grocery stores, convenience
stores and coffee chains, to
clearly post the calorie count
for each item on their menus.
Additional nutritional infor-
mation would have to be avail-
able upon request. The rules
would also apply to vending
machines if calorie informa-
tion isnt already visible on the
package.
The proposed rules exempt-
ed movie theaters, airplanes,
bowling alleys and other busi-
nesses whose primary busi-
ness is not to sell food. Alcohol
would also be exempt.
Supermarkets and conve-
nience stores are looking for
similar exemptions in the nal
rules. Representatives for the
supermarket industry say it
could cost them up to a billion
dollars to put the rules in place
costs that would be passed
on to consumers.
Its a huge problem for
us, says Erik Lieberman of
the Food Marketing Institute,
which represents retail gro-
cery chains. He says ghting
the menu labeling rules is one
of his groups top priorities.
Lieberman says the rules
could cover thousands of
items in each store, unlike res-
taurants, which typically have
fewer items. The rules could
go beyond just the prepared
foods case and extend to cut
fruit, bakery items like pies
and loaves of bread and other
store items that arent already
packaged and labeled. Lieber-
man says that means each
store has to send all of those
items out to labs to be tested,
do paperwork to justify the
ingredient and nutritional in-
formation for each item to the
FDA and then create signage
and train employees to use it.
Convenience stores say they
will have similar problems.
In a small store like a con-
venience store that is really
putting a lot of signage all over
the place, says Jeff Lenard
of the National Association
of Convenience Stores, refer-
ring to the calorie labels. You
just hit a point where words
become noise and thats not
good.
Nutrition lobbyist Margo
Wootan of the Center for Sci-
ence in the Public Interest says
consumer advocates heard the
same kind of complaining from
the packaged foods industry
before they were required to
put nutrition information on
the backs of food items. Su-
permarkets and convenience
stores should be included be-
cause they are breaking more
and more into the prepared
foods business, she says.
The supermarket industry
is positioning itself as a place
to buy prepared items so you
dont have to go out to eat or
cook, she says, arguing that
a rotisserie chicken that is la-
beled with a calorie count at a
takeout restaurant should also
be labeled at a grocery store.
The idea of menu labeling is
to make sure that customers
process the calorie informa-
tion as they are guring out
what to eat. Many restaurants
currently post nutritional in-
formation in a hallway, on
a hamburger wrapper or on
their website. The new law
will make calories immediate-
ly available for most items.
Menus and menu boards
will also tell diners that a
2,000-calorie daily diet is used
as the basis for general nutri-
tion advice, noting that indi-
vidual calorie needs may vary.
The labeling requirements
were added to the health bill
with the support of the restau-
rant industry, which has faced
a growing patchwork of laws
from cities and states. New
York City was the rst in the
country to put a calorie post-
ing law in place, and other cit-
ies and states have followed
since then. Several restau-
rant chains have already put
calories on menus and menu
boards nationwide.
Scott DeFife of the National
Restaurant Association says
the supermarkets are exagger-
ating how much it would cost
them to implement the rules.
The restaurant industry has
lobbied for the prepared foods
in supermarkets and conve-
nience stores to be included,
saying they are selling essen-
tially the same things.
DeFife says some conve-
nience stores have even joined
the National Restaurant Asso-
ciation as many gas stations
now include full restaurants in
their stores.
Its about the food, not the
format, he says.
Not all restaurants have
been fully supportive, though.
A coalition of pizza chains
including Dominos, Papa
Johns and Pizza Hut franchise
holders have pushed for
changes to the proposed rules
that would allow more exibil-
ity in how calories are posted
because of endless combina-
tions of pizza toppings. The
coalition claims there are 34
million ways to order a pizza.
When youre a small pizza
operator trying to get by on
tight margins, regulations like
this really affect your bottom
line, hurting your ability to
grow and hire, Dominos Piz-
za franchisee Jonathan Sharp

LABELING
Continued from Page 1C
There are very, very
strong opinions and
powerful voices both
on the consumer and
public health side and
on the industry side,
and we have worked
very hard to sort of
gure out what re-
ally makes sense and
also what is imple-
mentable.

FDA Commissioner
They are an amazing tiny seed and really
inexpensive, and a little goes a long way,
says Andrea McNinch, 37, owner of Healing
Yourself Institute and Regeneration Raw in
Royal Oak, Mich.
McNinch has been using chia for at least
seven years and says the seeds have two
times the potassium as bananas and three
times the reported antioxidants that blue-
berries have.
Chia seeds are often compared to ax
seeds because they have similar nutritional
proles. But the main difference is that chia
seeds dont need to be ground the way ax
seeds do. Chia also has a longer shelf life
and does not go rancid like ax does.
From a culinary perspective, McNinch
says, chia acts as a binder, thickens and
emulsies things.
Adding in chia bulks up your food with-
out the calories and fat and without dimin-
ishing the avor, she says. You can add
chia to anything.
Raw and sprinkled on foods or soaked in
water to create a gelatinous thickener, chia
seeds are a source of protein, omega-3 fatty
acids and ber.
In the last two years, chia has grown
from being known in the health food com-
munity to being available at Costco, says
Amber Poupore, 34, owner of the Cacao
Tree Cafe in Royal Oak. She uses chia in
smoothies and desserts and to make a dehy-
drated seed bread.
Food companies also are getting into chia.
Global product launches of foods contain-
ing chia were up 78 percent in 2012, accord-
ing to research rm Mintel. Dole Nutrition
Plus launched a line of whole and milled
chia and products containing chia.
Its certainly a trend thats been real hot,
says Tedd Handelsman, owner of Better
Health Store locations in Michigan.
Weve carried them for a couple of years,
and they are gaining in popularity, he says,
adding that chia is becoming as popular as
ax seed in the functional food category.
Often cited as an authority on chia,
Wayne Coates is an agricultural engineer
and professor emeritus at the University of
Arizona.
He wrote Chia: The Complete Guide
to the Ultimate Superfood, published last
spring. The book discusses the history of
chia and its health benets and includes
plenty of recipes.
Its not a supplement and is a food in the
FDAs eyes, says Coates. Which means
you can consume as much as you like.
Coates does urge caution when choosing
chia seeds.
Chia is only black or white, Coates says.
If there is brown it is not good, and it
can mean the seeds are immature.
CHIA

mCt photos
Chia has gone from novelty item to
superfood as the seeds are full of
nutrients and t into many recipes
such as the mufns, at top; vegetable
fritata, at left, and green smoothie,
above.
HOW TO USE CHIA
Here are some suggestions for using raw chia
seeds:
sprinkle over yogurt, oatmeal and cereals.
stir into drinks and smoothies.
toss in mixed greens, rice, pasta or potato
salads.
Add to mufn and cookie recipes.
make a pudding, stirring the seeds into almond
milk (or other dairy, rice or coconut milk).
In a clean coffee grinder, grind the seeds into a
coarse our (often called milled chia) and use it
in baked goods.
to make chia gel
soak about 2 tablespoons of seeds in 1 cup cool
water. the seeds will swell and the mixture will
become gelatinous. You can thin the gel if its
too thick.
Add the gel to water and drink as is.
Use the gelatinous mixture as an egg replacer in
some recipes. You may need to adjust the other
liquids in the recipe.
Use it as a thickening agent in salad dressing
and some sauces and soups.

Taking time to eat during your work day
is important, but if you arent careful, ofce
snacking can be the ultimate culprit for un-
wanted weight-gain.
100 extra calories a day can lead to a
10-pound weight gain in a year, said Vicki
Shanta Retelny, a registered dietitian and
food and nutrition expert. You really want
to think about those extra calories that are
creeping in. A snack should only be 150 to
200 calories.
Retelny said its important to eat two
healthy snacks during your work day the
rst between breakfast and lunch, and the
second between lunch and dinner.
Think of your metabolism as a re that
you stoke throughout the day so you can
keep your energy up, she said.
While stress can be a leading cause of
unhealthy snacking, Retelny said our stress
levels at work will go down when we choose
to take care of ourselves.
In an ofce environment, productivity
goes up when people are eating better, she
said. Nervous eating and mindless eating
are habits that can be broken if we just make
a few adjustments to our routine.
Here are some of Retelnys tips for creat-
ing smart snacking habits at the ofce:
Pack your own snack: The people who
dont plan are the people who dont have
a purpose, she said. You are in charge of
what you eat and nobody else. I tell people
to put it in your bag the night before. Or des-
ignate a time, like Sunday nights, when you
make snack bags for the entire week. Then
its done.
Know the ingredients: Some dont
know how to read the labels of their snacks,
so I tell people for sodium, if its over 500
milligrams per serving thats too high. For
sugars, you want to keep your (per serving)
milligrams under double digits.
Go nuts: Nuts are full of good fats that
sustain your energy, she said. Nuts are
also scientically proven to help your heart
health. Almonds, walnuts or pistachios are
great to have around. But be sure to portion
them out. 30 pistachios are about 100 calo-
ries.
Treat yourself: If someone brings in
baked goods, Retelny said its OK to have a
taste.
You can take a small piece but dont go
back for seconds, she said. I often tell peo-
ple have a little fat, have some butter, have
something fried, a little bit to satisfy you.
If you only eat an abundance of diet snack
foods then you may never be satised.
Quench your thirst: A lot of people
think theyre hungry, but in reality, theyre
dehydrated and they dont know it. So be
sure to keep yourself hydrated with plenty
of water or herbal teas.
Focus on your food: You should not be
eating and doing other things at the same
time, she said. Do not eat while driving,
while watching television or while youre
on the computer. Otherwise you will want
more food sooner, or even forget that you
ate and want something an hour later.
Change your route: If there is a co-work-
er who has candy or cookies out for sharing,
Retelny said to try not to walk by their desk.
Research has shown that youre more
likely to eat something that is in your sight,
or directly in front of you, she said.
Update your vending machine: If you
think of most vending machines, what we
see are processed foods, or foods that are
high in sugar, calories and sodium, she
said. You need to lobby for healthy foods
in these machines. Employees need to de-
mand this kind of change. Start a list and let
your management knowthis is important to
you.

Just in time for spring break
beach escapes and shopping
trips to buy warmer weathers
skin-baring fashions, heres ad-
vice on what to eat to nourish
your skin from the inside out.
Nutrition plays a starring role
in skin health and anti-aging be-
cause skin cells need certain nu-
trients to repair and regenerate.
We found some inspiration by
checking spring fashion trends.
The Pantone Color Institute,
known for predicting the ex-
act hue and shade of colors to
hit runways, chose a palate for
spring 2013 that sounds pretty
food friendly.
Lemon zest, nectarine and
tender shoots green are on their
top color list, along with poppy
red for lips and fabrics. Theyre
on the top list for skin health,
too.
COLOR ME HEALTHY
Citrus fruit, nectarines and
green leafy vegetables are good
sources of vitamin C, which
is vital for building collagen,
which is a spongy network of
bers that keeps skin plump,
elastic and wrinkle-free.
Other sources of vitamin C
include red peppers, tomatoes,
strawberries and kiwi fruit.
For more skin health, think
deep red tomato sauce and red
peppers for lycopene. This car-
otene-like compound may even
help blunt sunburn damage.
A study in the British Journal
of Dermatology showed that
lycopene protected against ul-
traviolet light exposure and re-
duced premature signs of aging
in the skin.
Antioxidants found in a wide
variety of plant foods in a ka-
leidoscope of colors protect
against the oxidation or break-
ing down of cells in the body,
including the skin. Dont want
to look like a prune? Eat more
of them.
SKIN FRIENDLY
Theres something to that
fountain of youth. Drinking
water keeps skin moisturized
from the inside.
Overdoing it at the bars or
even coffee bars can show on
your face. Avoid excess alcohol
and caffeine, which dries and
dehydrates skin and causes ne
lines to be more visible.
Drink the equivalent of 8
glasses of water a day. Note that
some of the uid can come from
water in fruits and vegetables.
Protein and the mineral zinc
are also essential for cell repair
and wound healing. Sources of
protein include poultry, sh,
beef, pork, eggs, fat-free or low-
fat milk, soy foods, beans, nuts,
seeds and nut butters.
Sources of zinc include oys-
ters, legumes or beans, nuts and
seeds, oatmeal, poultry, wheat
bran and wheat germ.
Healthy mono-unsaturated
oils in olive oil and avocados
help keep skin moisturized by
regulating water content within
the cell wall and help the body
absorb fat-soluble vitamins A, D,
E and K.
The fats found in sh and sea-
food, omega-3 fats, help boost
skin health, too.

Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Ange-
les, CA 90069
For more Sudoku go to www.timesleader.com
O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: Im in
my early 20s, hap-
pily married and
financially secure.
My husband and I
have been discussing
having children. My
problem is my sister
has been trying to start a family for
three years, to no avail because she
has infertility issues.
These issues run in our family, and
there is a chance I will have the same
problem. Should I talk to my sister
about my trying to get pregnant, or
wait until Im pregnant and break the
news to her then? Since I may have
the same problem, I dont want to
discuss something with her that may
never happen. Any thoughts?
Dont Want to Hurt Her
Dear Dont Want to Hurt Her:
Springing news that you are preg-
nant would be more of a jolt to her
than hearing that youre trying. I
see no reason to keep this a secret
from your sister. Because problems
conceiving run in your family, talking
about it might be helpful to both of
you. If you do become pregnant, she
may want to consult your doctor. If
it doesnt happen, the two of you can
emotionally support each other.
Dear Abby: After 20 years of mar-
riage, I am now again in the dating
world and wow, have things ever
changed! What happened to the days
when men would open doors, kiss
your cheek, or try to impress you by
sending flowers, complimenting you
and chasing you to go out with them?
Nowadays, the guys expect me to im-
press them, call them first, etc.
What are your thoughts on this? I
have been on numerous dates, and
only one man acted like an old-school
gentleman. Unfortunately, he was
only 30. Im in my mid-40s.
Im not super-rich, but I have a sta-
ble job, good benefits and two well-
behaved boys. Whats wrong with me?
New to the Dating World
Dear New: Nothing is wrong with
you. In fact, if men still chased you,
complimented you and didnt expect
to drag you to bed in the late 80s
and early 90s, you were lucky! Old-
fashioned romance started dying out
in the late 1960s and early 70s. As
women became more aggressive, men
became more passive.
If you like the way the 30-year-old
man treats you, please dont let the
age difference get in the way.
Dear Abby: On Feb. 5 you referred
to someone as a controlling, slave-
driving witch. A lot of people in the
Wiccan community, practitioners
of Wicca, use the term witch with
positive connotations. There are sev-
eral slur words that I heard growing
up that I would never dream of using
these days. Please spread the word.
We are now recognized by the VA
and included on headstones with
other religious symbols.
And in our religion, the word war-
lock is an insult that means oath
breaker. Witch is gender-neutral.
Proud Male Witch And Veteran
Dear Proud Male Witch And Vet-
eran: I hope that you and other mem-
bers of the Wiccan religion will for-
give my lapse, which was made out of
ignorance. I used the term witch as
a substitute for the word I wanted to
use because my editors told me that
referring to a woman in that way is
not acceptable in family newspapers.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Sisters who are trying to get pregnant may share the same problem
To receive a collection of Abbys most
memorable and most frequently re-
quested poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus
check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in
Canada) to: Dear Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box
447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage
is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Emails
require thought; conversations
are where the real deals happen.
You never know what the other
person is going to say. Thats
why conversation separates the
amateurs from the pros.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Youll
get dressed up appropriately and
show up where expected with an
attitude of service. This simple
effort may seem to take more
out of you now, but it will give
you much more than it takes.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If youre
to win the game youre playing,
you need a well-tested strategy.
Talk it over with a friend or
teammate. Now is a good time to
pause and reconnoiter.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). People
will like hearing your compli-
ments only if they desire them
first. So dont give them too
early. If you hold back, it will
mean more when you finally
gush a bit.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There is
safety in agreement, acceptance
and doing what youve been
doing. If only there were fun
there, too. But since theres
not, seek danger. Follow your
curiosity to the unknown choice.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Now that
your guiding planet, Mercury,
is flying direct again, youll find
that a certain someone can be
more readily contacted and is
much easier to connect with.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If you
were able to meet one of your
heroes, what would you say to
that person? The future holds
such a meeting, and youll get
something valuable out of time
you spend preparing for it now.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The
very thing your ancestors had
to fight and die for is now a part
of your daily life that you often
take for granted. Not today. You
will be fully aware and apprecia-
tive of their sacrifices.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Understanding where others are
coming from will require special
attention and a few adjustments.
But once everyone is on the
same page, moving forward will
be easy.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The
attention lavished on you may
not be a direct result of some-
thing you did today. Rather, your
past efforts have accumulated,
and youre now enjoying the
fruits of your labor.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Youll
surprise them again. They really
should be on to you by now.
Dont they know that you have
already been many people and
lived many lifetimes between
zero and your current age?
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You
come across as so amazingly
competent now that the one in
charge cant help but give you a
new assignment. With any luck,
its something you can accom-
plish in a few hours.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (March 19).
Your strong sense of direction
will take you to foreign places.
Because of all you learn there,
you will be a different person by
your next birthday. The rule you
break in April will liberate you. In
May, someone will invest in you.
June sees you punching a differ-
ent clock. Leo and Gemini people
adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 4, 2, 33, 35 and 13.
