UNION TWP.

An early-
retirement program at North-
west Area School District al-
lowed a teacher to retire at the
age of 40 and still be eligible
for up to $424,700 in health in-
surance coverage until age 65,
while a decision made by the
school board
without a pub-
lic vote netted
a superinten-
dent $3,360
she should not
have received,
according to
the state Audi-
tor Generals
Ofce.
The audit
cites an early-
r e t i r e me n t
package ne-
gotiated into
the teachers union contract
that ran from Sept. 1, 2005
through Aug. 31, 2011. That
agreement stated that an em-
ployee with 10 years of service
would be eligible for an early-
retirement benet, including
health insurance coverage to
the age of 65.
During our reviewwe found
the district has one retired
teacher who exercised this op-
tion ve years ago at the age of
40, the report notes. The dis-
trict is paying $21,235 per year
for his family health insurance,
a cost that could total $424,700
by the time the retiree turns
65. The report does not name
the teacher.
Providing such a benet af-
ter only 10 years of service is
a questionable use of taxpayer
funds, the report says.
While the audit report
does not cite any illegality in
the deal, it notes the district
should reevaluate the retire-
ment benet. The school board
and union recently approved a
new contract that eliminates
the early retirement benet.
The audit also contends
the board approved a health
benet waiver for the former
superintendent which is in
violation of the administrative
A new report nds that prison-
ers released to halfway houses
like one in downtown Hazleton
are more likely to be rearrested
or re-incarcer-
ated than those
released direct-
ly to the street.
According to
the 2013 Recid-
ivism Report
published by
the Pennsylva-
nia Department of Corrections,
inmates paroled to halfway hous-
es referred to as community
corrections centers have a
65.7 percent recidivismrate com-
pared to a rate of 61.2 percent for
those paroled to the street when
looking at the most recent three-
year overall recidivism rates.
Recidivism is dened as the
rearrest or re-incarceration of a
person after his or her release
from prison.
I cant say that Im surprised
because, just based on the facili-
ty here in our area, we knowhow
high the recidivism rate is here.
We dont have actual gures, but
we know how many escapes and
absconces there have been since
it opened, Greater Hazleton
Chamber of Commerce Presi-
dent Donna Palermo, an outspo-
ken critic of the facility, said.
MinSec opened a community
corrections center in 2007 in

About 16 years ago, Ilona
Taylor was driving down
South Main Street when she
noticed the former Frank
Clark Jewelry Store.
Taylor pulled over, got
out of her car and peered
through the window to try
to catch a glimpse of what
was inside. She couldnt see
much, but she saw enough
to know that she wished she
could open a jewelry store of
her own in the once-glorious
space.
Soon Taylor and her hus-
band, Michael, will do just
that when Ocean Gold at the
Frank Clark building opens
for business at 63 S. Main St.
We love the history of
the building, said Taylor, 37.
We want to renew and con-

In jailhouse interviews broad-
cast Monday, convicted pedo-
phile Jerry Sandusky laughed off
the notion he was sexually abus-
ing a young boy in a Penn State
locker room in 2001, saying sex
is the last thing he would think
of about the incident that led to
the ring of longtime coach Joe
Paterno.
NBCs Today show aired
just a snippet of 3 1/2 -hour
telephone in-
terviews San-
dusky had
with lmmaker
John Ziegler
for his project
The Fram-
ing of Joe Pa-
terno, which
seeks to defend
the late coach who Ziegler said
was railroaded.
But the Paterno familys law-
yer rebuffed Zieglers attempts
to defend Paterno using the
Sandusky interviews, calling
Zieglers work misguided and
inappropriate. Penn State
joined the fray, too, saying the
remarks were an insult to abuse
victims everywhere.
In one excerpt, Sandusky de-
fended himself against the late-
night February 2001 incident
that then-graduate assistant
Mike McQueary witnessed after
he returned to the Lasch Build-
ing to drop off some new sneak-
ers. At the trial last summer,
McQueary testied it was sexual
in nature because of slapping
sounds and the proximity of San-
duskys body to the young boys.
I dont understand how any-
body would have walked into
that locker room from where he
was and heard sounds associ-
ated that was sex going on, a
laughing Sandusky said in the
recording, sneering at the word
sex.
I mean, there was, Sandusky
continued, pausing, that would
have been the last thing I would
have thought about. I would
have thought maybe fooling
around or something like that.
Sandusky has served so far
about six months of a 30- to
60-year sentence for sexually
abusing 10 boys, and Ziegler re-
corded the phone calls with his

State police at Wyoming
said the skull was analyzed at

said.
Trooper Martin Connors
said DNA that was taken from

The skull was found mixed

Thomas was last seen at her

Five days into spring, North-
eastern Pennsylvania got only
a taste of the winter blast
much of the East Coast en-
dured on Monday.
A wide-ranging storm that
buried parts of the Midwest
weakened as it moved east but
still managed to carpet lawns
and elds in a fresh layer of
white. Many schools opened
late or closed early, and hun-
dreds of ights were canceled
across the East, but much of
what snow fell in the Wyo-
ming Valley disappeared by
late morning.
The Hazleton areas blanket
of white had a bit more stay-
ing power, with a heavy, wet
accumulation still present late
in the day.
Folks in other areas werent
as lucky, and the cold temper-
atures and miserable mixture
of snow and rain had them
longing for more agreeable
weather.
Im ready for ip ops,
said Jessica Cunitz, 24, of
Westchester County, N.Y.,
who stopped at a gas station
along Interstate 78 in Penn-
sylvania to ll her overheating
car with antifreeze.
In Maryland, Michael Pugh
donned a wool coat, knit cap,
waterproof pants and heavy
boots to trudge more than a
mile through 4 inches of wet
snowto his bank in downtown
Hagerstown, about 70 miles
west of Baltimore. He pro-
nounced the weather dread-
ful.
Earlier, the storm walloped
the Midwest, dumping a re-
cord 17 inches in Springeld,
Ill., and a foot or more else-
where in the state. Travel re-
mained treacherous Monday
afternoon, with Interstate 55
and 57 still covered in snow
and ice, according to the Il-
linois Department of Trans-
portation. Numerous vehicles
were reported to be off roads,
according to Illinois state po-
lice.
The system was little more
than a nuisance by the time
it reached the East Coast. Air
travel saw the biggest impact,
with nearly 600 ights can-
celed as of Monday afternoon,
according to the FlightAware
tracking service. Hardest-hit
airports included those in
New York, Philadelphia and
Washington.
Roadways, meanwhile, were
mostly wet.
Mitchell Gaines, a meteo-
rologist with the National
Weather Service in Mount
Holly, N.J., said colder-than-
normal temperatures the past
few weeks had created condi-
tions ripe for snow.
Its fairly late in March to
see a systemlike this, he said.
While today should be most-
ly cloudy with a high of 43 lo-
cally, the Wilkes-Barre area
could see one more winter
are-up this month.
Accuweather.com fore-
casts a 56-percent chance of
a snow shower early in the
day Wednesday. But the sun
should chase away the winter
blues as a high temperature of
43 is expected. And a warmer
weekend is in the works, with
highs in the upper 40s and
low 50s forercast for Friday
through Monday.
The Associated Press con-
tributed to this story.

ing of many of the present practic-
ing Endocrinologists in the city of

ily life, she found time to accom-
pany Jonathan to multiple junior

years and loved to watch him
play tennis for both Shady Side
Academy and Carnegie Mellon
University.
The family also traveled to-
gether to watch professional ten-
nis tournaments across the coun-

PLAINS TWP. Derek Zielinski,
a 30-year-old tattoo artist, likes to ask
his clients, Hows your faith?
On Monday, Zielinski, of Wilkes-
Barre, was helping prepare the new-
est site of the Parker Hill Community
Church for its rst service on Easter
Sunday.
I guess most people dont expect
their tattoo artist to talk about Chris-
tianity, Zielinski said. But I do a lot
of religious symbolism, so I ask. I sug-
gest they check out our church.
Parker Hill Community Church is a
non-denominational church with cam-
puses in Clarks Summit and Dickson
City. More than 2,000 people have
been attending services in those lo-
cations and church leaders hope to
expand that number with its newest
location 9,000 square feet at 667 N.
River St., above the River Street Jazz
Cafe.
Mark Fitch, Parker Hills executive
pastor for campuses, said Wayne Mor-
gan will serve as pastor of the Wilkes-
Barre site. He said Sunday services be-
gin at 10:30 a.m. with separate session
for adults, middle and high school-age
members and infant to fth-grade
members.
People ask about our dress code,
and I tell them wear whatever clothes
you have, Zielinski said. Everything
is very casual.
Zielinski, Fitch and Morgan were
busy trying to get everything in or-
der for Sunday. Only one area will be
ready for Easter, so all ages will attend
the same service Sunday.
Its a very welcoming atmosphere,
Zielinski said. Faith is just about be-
lieving in the Creator and having God
in your life.
Morgan said every Sunday will be a
family event. He said the service will
be held and theres always time for so-
cialization. Fitch said Parker Hill has
members of all ages.
Were hoping to create a movement
where people followGod and help oth-
er people along the way, Morgan said.
Fitch said Mark Stuenzi is the lead
pastor and his sermon is heard by all
adult members. He said Morgan is re-
sponsible for care.
Ill be doing the greeting and wel-
coming, Morgan said. Im responsi-
ble for maintaining good relationships
with our members.
Fundraising is done the old fash-
ioned way through Sunday collec-
tions.
We call it a free-will offering, Fitch
said. There are no dues or mandatory
fees.

it, Nina Grymko said. And they love

Though many spent more Cookie

of introducing the children to dollars

SUGAR NOTCH The streets of
Sugar Notch became a speedway Sat-
urday night when police began pursuit
of a pick-up truck allegedly traveling in
excess of 65 mph, a chase that crossed
four municipalities and ended shortly
after the truck crashed into a police
cruiser in Wilkes-Barre, according to
charges led.
Police said Andrew Lee Dunn, 27, of
Wilson Street, operating a Ford Ranger,
failed to stop for police on Main Street
just after 6 p.m. Dunn turned onto
Chestnut Street and Woodland Road at
speeds in excess of 65 mph, police said.
The pursuit that spanned four mu-
nicipalities ended af-
ter Dunn crashed into
a Wilkes-Barre Town-
ship police cruiser on
Brown Street in Wil-
kes-Barre. Dunn was
apprehended when he
abandoned the Ford
and attempted to run
away in the area of Hazle Avenue and
West Liberty Street in Hanover Town-
ship, police said.
It was not the rst time Dunn was ac-
cused of running from police.
Court records say Dunn was sen-
tenced in Luzerne County Court in De-
cember 2005 to one-year probation for
leading Kingston police on a car chase
in May 2005.
Dunn was arraigned by District Judge
Joseph Halesey in Hanover Township
on charges of eeing or attempting to
elude authorities, reckless endanger-
ment, resisting arrest, driving under
the inuence, driving with a suspended
license, reckless driving, careless driv-
ing and speeding. He remained jailed
Monday at the county correctional fa-
cility for lack of $10,000 bail.
According to the criminal complaint:
Ofcer Joseph Wildes attempted to
stop Dunn for speeding on Main Street,
Sugar Notch, just after 6 p.m. Dunn
turned onto side streets that have speed
limits of 15 mph while traveling in ex-
cess of 65 mph in residential neighbor-
hoods.
Dunn turned back onto Main Street
and state Route 29, Interstate 81 and
exited the highway in Wilkes-Barre
Township, where he turned onto Nich-
olson Street and Prospect Street at a
high rate of speed, the complaint says.
Police from Wilkes-Barre Township,
Wilkes-Barre and Hanover Township
assisted during the pursuit on Black-
man, Brown, Stanton, High and Hicko-

John Cooke, 36, has also
been charged with molesting
another girl in 2009.
WEST PITTSTON Police
charged a man jailed at a state
prison on a parole violation with
repeatedly raping one girl and
molesting another.
John Cooke, 36, an inmate
at the State Correctional In-
stitution at Retreat, Newport
Township, was arraigned via
telephone conference with Dis-
trict Judge Joseph Carmody on
charges of rape of a child, aggra-
vated indecent assault, dissemi-
nation of sex material to a minor
and indecent assault. Carmody
set bail at $125,000.
Cooke remains at the state
prison on a parole violation in
connection to a nine-to-20-year
sentence imposed in June 1999
in Lycoming County for robbery
of a vehicle and kidnapping.
Carmody arraigned Cooke
via telephone when the video
link could not be established
between his ofce and the state
prison. Cooke said he wanted to
wait until he had an attorney,
but Carmody said an attorney is
not required at the arraignment,
which involves the notication
of charges that have been led,
establishing bail and scheduling
the preliminary hearing.
According to the criminal
complaint:
Police were notied by Lu-
zerne County Children and
Youth Services in June 2012
about two girls who might have
been sexually assaulted.
One of the girls said Cooke
would force her to have sex and
would mimic pornography he
played on television. She alleged
Cooke threatened to harm her if
she told anyone, the complaint
says.
Police said in the complaint
the other girl alleged Cooke
pulled down her bathing suit
while she was in a pool and mo-
lested her.
The girls alleged they were as-
saulted from January to June of
2009 , the complaint says.
A preliminary hearing is
scheduled on April 10.

sion of a controlled substance
and one count each of resisting

According to the criminal
complaint:
Police stopped the driver
of a Ford Fusion for failing to
use a turn signal while turning

WILKES-BARRE A city
man charged with sexually
assaulting a 7-year-old boy
pleaded guilty Monday to a
related charge.
Tyler Groner, 21, of West
Chestnut Street, entered the
plea to a felony count of sexual
assault.
County Judge Fred Pierantoni
said Groner will be sentenced
on the charge on June 20 and
will undergo an evaluation by
the state Sexual Offenders As-
sessment Board. Groner will be
required to register his address
under Megans Law for his en-
tire life and is prohibited from
having unsupervised contact
with minors and cannot visit
places where minors frequent,
such as schools or playgrounds.
According to police, on Aug.
21, police were called to a city
home for the report of a boy be-
ing sexually assaulted. When
police arrived, the boy said
Groner had sex with him. When
police questioned Groner about
the allegations, he said he had
no clue why he touched the
boy inappropriately.
from the Bible. He said there
are 11 pastors in the Parker Hill
Community Church and they
collaborate on the weekly mes-
sages.
The new Wilkes-Barre lo-
cation is an important step in
Parker Hills multi-site strat-
egy, Fitch said. This involves
putting campuses throughout
Northeastern Pennsylvania so
that people attending Parker
Hill are able to worship close
to the community where they
live.
Fitch said a multisite church
is simply one church meeting in
multiple locations that shares a
common vision, budget,
doctrine, leadership and staff.
He said by having multiple sites
and one message, all members
get the same teachings.
He said this prevents people
from having to choose which
campus to attend based on a
particular teaching pastor.
Its more likely that friends
and family will accept an invita-
tion to attend a church that is in
their own community, he said.
Since everyone has the same
teaching experience each week-
end, people dont build their
attendance patterns around a
particular person or teaching
style.

SCRANTON A federal
judge has granted former Lu-
zerne County judge Mark Ciava-
rella permission to join in a mo-
tion led by other defendants
who oppose a request to have
the kids-for-cash lawsuit certi-
ed as a class-action lawsuit.
Ciavarella, in a handwritten
letter from his prison cell in
Pekin, Ill., said he believes the
arguments set forth by Robert
Powell, PA Child Care and its
related entities are applicable to
him. He asks that the court con-
sider the arguments as if they
were being presented by him.
Attorneys for Powell have
argued the case should not be
certied as a class-action law-
suit, which would allow it to
proceed as a single lawsuit on
behalf of approximately 2,000
juveniles. If class certication
is denied, each of the plaintiffs
would have to pursue individual
complaints.
Ci avarel l a
is serving a
28-year prison
sentence for
his conviction
on numerous
c o r r u p t i o n
charges for accepting money
from real estate developer Rob-
ert Mericle, who built the juve-
nile centers at the heart of the
scandal.
Ciavarella and former Judge
Michael Conahan, who is serv-
ing 17 1/2 years in prison for
his role in the scandal, remain
as defendants in the lawsuit,
which alleges juveniles were
improperly incarcerated by Cia-
varella as part of a scheme to en-
sure the juvenile centers, which
were co-owned by Powell, had a
high occupancy rate.
The lawsuit is separate from
a $17.75 million settlement
reached with Mericle, who was
previously included as a defen-
dant in the class action lawsuit.
Powells attorneys have ar-
gued, among other things, that
individual circumstances and
alleged harm caused to each
plaintiff is too different to allow
for class certication. Attorneys
for the juveniles have disputed
that position.
In a legal brief led last week,
the plaintiffs attorneys say in-
dividual assessment relates to
the amount of damages that are
owed each plaintiff, not wheth-
er each juvenile was injured by
the defendants conduct. They
argue each of the juveniles suf-
fered a common injury - de-
privation of their due process
rights - therefore they can estab-
lish liability for the entire class.
U.S. District Judge A. Richard
Caputo on Monday granted Cia-
varella permission to join in the
defense motion. The judge will
review the lings and issue a
ruling regarding class certica-
tion at a later date.

COURT BRIEFS POLICE BLOTTER
AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER
WASHINGTON The
Supreme Courts decision to
hear a new case from Michi-
gan on the politically charged
issue of afrmative action
offers an intriguing hint that
the justices will not use a sep-
arate challenge already pend-
ing from Texas for a broad
ruling bringing an end to the
consideration of race in col-
lege admissions.
To be sure, the two cases
involve different legal issues.
The University of Texas dis-
pute, with arguments already
completed and a ruling pos-
sible soon, centers on the use
of race to ll some slots in
the schools freshman class-
es. The Michigan case asks
whether a voter-approved
ban on afrmative action in
college admissions can itself
violate the Constitution.
But the broadest possible
outcome in the current Texas
case overruling the courts
2003 decision that allows
race as a factor in college ad-
missions would mean an
end to afrmative action in
higher education and render
the new Michigan lawsuit ir-
relevant.
If the justices are planning
to overrule that earlier de-
cision, then I would think
they would hold this case,
the new one, and order lower
courts to review it based on
the Texas decision, said Er-
win Chemerinsky, dean of the
law school at the University
of California at Irvine. He is
representing students and
faculty members in the Mich-
igan case.
At the October argument in
Fisher v. University of Texas,
the courts conservative jus-
tices sounded as if they were
ready to impose new limits
on the use of race in college
admissions. More than ve
months have passed without
a decision, which is not un-
usual in the courts most con-
tentious cases.
The appeal in the Michigan
case comes from state Attor-
ney General Bill Schuette,
following a ruling from the
sharply divided 6th U.S. Cir-
cuit Court of Appeals in Cin-
cinnati. The appeals court,
by an 8-7 vote, found fault
with the 2006 constitutional
amendment to outlaw pref-
erential treatment on the
basis of race and other fac-
tors in college admissions.
The provision also applies to
afrmative action in public
employment and government
contracting.
KABUL U.S. Secretary of State
John Kerry and Afghan President Ha-
mid Karzai made a show of rare, re-
cent unity between their two nations
on Monday, as the U.S. military ceded
control of its last detention facility in
Afghanistan, ending a longstanding ir-
ritant in relations.
Kerry arrived in the Afghan capital
of Kabul on an unannounced visit amid
concerns that Karzai may be jeopar-
dizing progress in the war against ex-
tremism with anti-American rhetoric.
After a private meeting, Kerry said he
and Karzai were on the same page
on security and reconciliation issues
and brushed aside suggestions that re-
lations were in peril.
Karzai had infuriated U.S. ofcials
by accusing Washington of colluding
with Taliban insurgents to keep Af-
ghanistan weak even as the Obama ad-
ministration pressed ahead with plans
to hand off security responsibility to
Afghan forces and end NATOs combat
mission by the end of next year.
At a joint news conference after their
talks, Karzai told reporters his com-
ments had been misinterpreted by the
media. Kerry said ofcials sometimes
make comments in public that reect
an idea that they have heard expressed
by others.
I am condent the president (Kar-
zai) does not believe the U.S. has any
interest except to see the Taliban come
to the table to make peace and that we
are completely cooperative with the
government of Afghanistan with re-
spect to the protection of their efforts
and their people, Kerry said. He not-
ed that he had specically raised the
collusion comment with Karzai and
was satised with what he had heard
in response.
Were on the same page, Kerry
said. I dont think there is any dis-
agreement between us and I am very,
very comfortable with the presidents
explanation.
For his part, Karzai said today was
a very good day, citing the turnover
of the detention facility at the U.S.-
run Bagram military base north of
Kabul. He also expressed gratitude
for the sacrices made for his country
by Americans. However, he defended
allegations he has made about Ameri-
can troops abusing Afghan civilians,
saying they were not meant to of-
fend anyone but rather to protect his
people.
When I say something publicly, it
is not meant to offend our allies but to
correct the situation, he said. I am
responsible for the protection of the
Afghan people. I am the president of
this country. It is my job to provide all
the protection I can to the people of
this country.

Phils handler taking blame
An Ohio prosecutor who has light-
heartedly led charges against the fa-
mous Pennsylvania groundhog who
fraudulently predicted an early spring
says he may consider a pardon now that
the animals handler is taking the blame.
Bill Deeley, president of the Punx-
sutawney Groundhog Clubs Inner
Circle, said the animal rightly predicted
six more weeks of winter but Deeley
tells The Associated Press he mistak-
enly announced an early spring because
he failed to correctly interpret Phils
groundhog-ese.
Butler County, Ohio prosecutor, Mike
Gmoser said AP hes reconsidering the
charges in light of the newevidence and
may issue a full pardon.
LOS ANGELES
Girl survives canyon crash
Law enforcement ofcials praised
the bravery and tenacity of a 9-year-old
girl who crawled out of a mangled SUV
at the bottom of a remote Southern
California canyon and hiked nearly two
miles to nd help for her father, who
was pinned in the drivers seat follow-
ing a rollover crash.
Celia Renteria was sure her father
was still alive when she climbed up the
rocky embankment early Sunday, as
temperatures dipped into the 40s, said
California Highway Patrol Ofcer Gil
Hernandez. When ofcers responded
more than an hour and a half later, they
found Alejandro Renteria, 35, was dead.
She was very courageous, being able
to walk through the dark, through bush-
es and very rough terrain to get help for
her dad, Hernandez said.
The 2010 Ford Escape was launched
about 200 feet down into the canyon
along an isolated stretch of the Sierra
Highway in the high desert of northern
Los Angeles County at about 1 a.m.
Sunday, the CHP said. The vehicle over-
turned several times.
JOHANNESBURG
Central African leader ees
The president of the Central African
Republic ed the country for Cameroon
after rebels overran the capital of the
impoverished nation long wracked by
rebellions.
South Africa said Monday that 13 of
its soldiers were killed in ghting with
rebels, prompting criticism about why
its forces had intervened in such a vola-
tile conict.
Ousted President Francois Bozize
sought temporary refuge on its terri-
tory, the Cameroonian government con-
rmed Monday.
Central African Republics new lead-
ership appeared fragmented, with a
split emerging in the rebel coalition that
seized the capital.

$338M
Powerball
winner to
aid family
PASSAIC, N.J. The winner
of a $338 million Powerball jack-
pot told several media outlets
Monday that his rst priority
will be helping his family.
Pedro Quezada, 44, entered
Eagle Liquors store, where the
ticket was sold, late Monday af-
ternoon. The Passaic store own-
er ran Quezadas ticket through
the lottery machine to validate
that it was a winner as a news-
paper and television outlets re-
corded the moment.
The New Jersey Lottery con-
rmed that the winning ticket
was validated at the store at 4:30
p.m. Monday, but ofcials said
they didnt yet know the win-
ners name.
Quezada told reporters in
Spanish that he was very hap-
py and that he intends to help
his family.
His wife, Ines Sanchez, told
the Bergen Record that Quezada
called her with the news Mon-
day afternoon.
I still cant believe it, she
said. We never expected it but
thank God.
The numbers drawn Saturday
were 17, 29, 31, 52, 53 and Pow-
erball 31. A lump sum payout
would be $221 million, or about
$152 million after taxes. Its the
fourth-largest jackpot in Power-
ball history.
The familys apartment sits at
the end of a short dead end block
that abuts a highway in Passaic,
15 miles northwest of New York
City. Neighbors stood out in the
rain Monday night and spoke
with pride that one of their own
had struck it rich.
Eladia Vazquez has lived
across the street from Quezadas
building for the past 25 years.
The block has a half-dozen three-
story brick apartment buildings
on each side, and Vazquez says
its a neighborhood where every-
one knows everyone, including
what car they drive and what
parking space they use.
Vazquez described Quezada
and his wife as quiet and not
overly talkative but sensed that
they seemed to be working all
the time.
This is super for all of us on
this block, she said. They de-
serve it because they are hard-
working people.
Richard Delgado, who lives
down the block from Quezadas
building, said the man was like
all of us here. We all get up in the
morning and go to work.
Pedro Quezada, 44, went back
to liquor store to validate his
ticket on Monday.

Early number sense plays role in later math skills
WASHINGTON We
know a lot about how babies
learn to talk, and youngsters
learn to read. Now scien-
tists are unraveling the earli-
est building blocks of math
and what children know
about numbers as they begin
rst grade seems to play a big
role in how well they do ev-
eryday calculations later on.
The ndings have special-
ists considering steps that
parents might take to spur
math abilities, just like they
do to try to raise a good read-
er.
About 1 in 5 adults in the
U.S. lacks the math compe-
tence expected of a middle-
schooler, meaning they have
trouble with those ordinary
tasks and arent qualied for
many of todays jobs.
Its not just, can you do
well in school? Its how well
can you do in your life, says
Dr. Kathy MannKoepke of the
National Institutes of Health,
which is funding much of this
research into math cognition.
A new study shows trouble
can start early.
University of Missouri re-
searchers tested 180 seventh-
graders. Those who lagged
behind their peers in a test
of core math skills needed to
function as adults were the
same kids whod had the least
number sense or uency way
back when they started rst
grade.
The gap they started with,
they dont close it, says Dr.
David Geary, a cognitive psy-
chologist who leads the study
that is tracking children from
kindergarten to high school
in the Columbia, Mo., school
system. Theyre not catching
up to the kids who started
ahead.
If rst grade sounds pretty
young to be predicting math
ability, well, no one expects
tots tobe scribblingsums. But
this number sense, or what
Geary more precisely terms
number system knowledge,
turns out to be a fundamental
skill that students continually
build on, much more than the
simple ability to count.
Findings have specialists
mulling steps parents might
take to spur math abilities.

of Wilkes-Barre, passed away
peacefully with his family at his

W. Kistler, M.D. and Nellie Ham-
mer Kistler.
He was a graduate of E. L. Mey-
ers High School, Class of 1941;
Colgate University, Hamilton,
N.Y.; and Hahnemann Medical
School, Philadelphia, where he
completed his training as an of-
cer in the U.S. Army during World
War II. Afterward he completed
his internship at the former Wyo-
ming Valley Hospital and set up
his practice on the hill in Wil-
kes-Barre.
After a few years, his practice
was put on hold as he served as a
captain in the U.S. Air Force dur-
ing the Korean War. He returned

During his 52 years of medical

School was dedicated to him, he
developed a scholarship to help
its students attend college.
Dr. Kistlers life revolved
around his relationships with pa-
tients, community and friends,
and he felt very blessed by oppor-
tunities to be of service. He had
a vision for the future of health
care developing a comprehensive
model for Family Practice, where
many services were available in
one location and pioneering the
concept of Family Practice clin-
ics being associated with a larger
health care organization. Dr. Kis-
tler was instrumental in the for-
mation of the Geisinger Wyoming
Valley Medical Center and served
as its Chief of Staff for many years.
He was involved with the
creation of the Pennsylvania
Academy of Family Practice and
would go on to be its President
and then Family Physician of the
Year in 1999. He helped create a
new Family Practice Residency
in Kingston and was involved in
the Family Practice Residency at
Geisinger Wyoming Valley Hos-
pital.

ber and Elder at Westminster
Presbyterian Church, Wilkes-
Barre.

wife of 65 years, the former June
Ann Carpenter; son, Christopher
C. Kistler; brother, William Kis-
tler.

March 24, 2013
M
rs. Mildred T. Levandoski,
85, of Duryea, went to rest
in Gods love on Sunday, March
24, 2013 at Geisinger Wyoming
Valley Medical Center, Plains
Township.
She was born on March 27,
1927 to Francis and Beatrice
Yachna Evans, and as daughter,
wife, mother, grandmother, great
grandmother, sister, sister in
law, aunt and friend, lled many
roles with dignity and pride and
brought smiles to all who knew
her.
She was a proud graduate of
Duryea High School, Class of
1945, and treasured her relation-
ships with her friends. Prior to
her retirement, she was employed
in the area garment industry as
a seamstress. Her favorite role
while working as a seamstress
was sewing wedding gowns for
Alfred Angelo. She was a member
of Nativity of Our Lord Parish,
Duryea.
Mildred will be greatly missed
by all those whose lives she so
generously and lovingly touched.
There was not a thing she
wouldnt do to ensure the happi-
ness and well being of her family.
Though death saddens us,
our faith teaches us that we will
one day be with Mildred and our
many loved ones, and in this we
nd hope. May she nd peace
with those who have gone home
to be with our Lord.
The family would like to thank
all who cared for her during this
time, but none more than the staff
of the ICU at Geisinger Hospital
who have cared for Mildred sever-
al times before, and ensured that
her nal hours were surrounded
with love and peace.
She was preceded in death by
her sister, Dorothy (Jim) Evans,
who passed away on March, 3,
2010.
Her marriage of 63 years to
Henry R. Levandoski was one
based on respect and trust, and
upon entering the large Levandos-
ki clan, she truly loved every min-
ute of the family, and they in turn
treated her like a sister. In addi-
tion to her husband, Henry, she is
survived by daughter Pamela Zb-
ylicki and her husband, Robert, of
Pittston; daughter Ann Levandos-
ki of Duryea; granddaughter Pa-

PRINGLE At a meeting
of the West Side Career and
Technology Center Joint Oper-
ating Committee Monday night
Tom Pieczynski Jr., marketing
teacher at the center, lauded
the efforts of the centers mar-
keting students for successfully
executing two projects.
He said they not only dem-
onstrated their skills learned
in the class room, but also their
ability to transfer those skills to
the real world.
Marketing students were
awardedthe 2012Distinguished
Partner award for developing
and executing a business plan
for organization and customer
service in a simulated business
conducted at the school. The
project reected the concept of
global entrepreneurship, pre-
paring students for further edu-
cation and future careers.
Students also purchased a
place on the Wilkes-Barre-opoly
board game, a localized version
of the classic game. Students
then developed a promotional
and sales plan, giving special
deals to senior classmates and
those also buying a yearbook.
These are the type of activi-
ties that fully prepare our stu-
dents for successful futures,
said Pieczynski, addressing the
centers Joint Operating Com-
mittee.
In other matters:
Principal Richard Rava said
that recently a representative
from Luzerne County Juvenile
Probation had addressed stu-
dents about successful living
and making appropriate deci-
sions. She noticed the good
behavior of our students during
her presentations, Rava said,
noting that the schools number
of disciplinary infractions has
continued to decrease.
The committee gave ap-
proval for 13 students to attend
the SkillsUSA State Conference
in Hershey in April.
Committee member John
Marianacci attributed the suc-
cess of the center to a willing-
ness to adapt to the needs of
students in the long term and
to the ability of ve area school
district that serve as feeder
schools to work together.
The next meeting of the
committee will be on April 22
at 6:30 pm.

MUNICIPAL BRIEFS
MIAMI More prisoners
have joined a hunger strike
at the U.S. military prison at
Guantanamo Bay, ofcials said
Monday, as defense lawyers
expressed alarm about one of
the most sustained protests at
the base in several years.
There are 28 prisoners on
hunger strike, up from 21 a
week earlier, including three
who were hospitalized for de-
hydration from refusing to eat,
said Navy Capt. Robert Du-
rand, a spokesman for the pris-
on on the U.S. base in Cuba.
The military is force-feeding
10 of the prisoners to prevent
dangerous weight loss, Durand
said.
Lawyers for prisoners have
been returning from visits to
the base with reports that the
hunger strike is much more
widespread, involving a major-
ity of the 166 men held there,
and that some have lost signi-
cant weight in recent weeks.
Army Capt. Jason Wright
said an Afghan prisoner
who goes only by the name
Obaidullah has dropped from
about 167 pounds to 131 since
he went on strike and appeared
dizzy and fatigued as they met
last week.
He seemed depressed, frus-
trated at the worsening con-
ditions of his connement,
Wright said. It seemed like he
didnt have any hope of getting
out of Guantanamo Bay.
A prisoner from Syria, Ab-
dehhadi Faraj, has lost about
30 pounds and has been hav-
ing severe stomach pain,
migraines and dizziness and
vomiting blood, according to
Ramzi Kassem, an attorney
and law professor at the City
University of New York, who
visited him last week.

HARRISBURG A Penn-
sylvania Supreme Court justice
who was convicted last month
of using taxpayer-paid staff for
political campaigns told the
governor Monday she is resign-
ing from the bench as of May
1, about a week before she will
learn her sentence.
The letter from Justice Joan
Orie Melvin to Gov. TomCorbett
said she made the decision with
deep regret and a broken heart.
It is my fervent hope that my
service over the past three de-
cades will not be tainted by the
circumstances surrounding my
departure, wrote Melvin, who
then listed accomplishments,
including 8,000 decisions over
15 years and respect for the tax-
payers shown by declining a pay
raise and consistently maintain-
ing low ofce expenses.
Melvin said in the letter she
plans to appeal the jurys verdict,
which found her guilty of using
government employees to work
on her 2003 and 2009 campaigns
for the high court. Her sentenc-
ing is May 7.
Corbett said Melvin made the
correct decision.
This will save taxpayers the
time and expense of impeach-
ment proceedings in the House
and Senate, and allow legislators
to focus on other important is-
sues, the Republican governor
said in a statement.
Melvin has been suspended
without pay from the court since
August. Her lawyers released
the letter but did not respond to
a message seeking a phone inter-
view.
Melvins sister and aide, Ja-
nine Orie, also was convicted of
misusing state-paid staffers to do
campaign work. They were both
found guilty of theft of services,
conspiracy and misappropriation
of state property. Melvin was ac-
quitted of offcial oppression.
A third sister, former state
Sen. Jane Orie, R-Allegheny, is
serving 2 1/2 to 10 years in pris-
on after a separate conviction on
similar charges related to her
own political campaigns.

OW TRUCK operator
Leo Glodzik is now
unequivocally on the
hook. Wilkes-Barre
Mayor Tom Leighton and City
council should give him a clear,
quick and unequivocal edict: Ex-
plain this weekends debacle im-
mediately or lose the city tow-
ing contract.
If the ultimatum hasnt al-
ready been issued, it should be
done today.
It seems highly doubtful there
can be any acceptable explana-
tion, but Glodzik deserves a
brief chance to give one. Heres
the synopsis, as explained on
page 1A of Sundays edition of
The Times Leader:
Last year, questions arose re-
garding Glodziks billing tactics
in particular, several people
claimed he had billed for stor-
age after towing a car that had
been stolen and recovered a
clear violation of his contract
with the city.
City Resident Natalie Aleo
contends Glodzik told her dur-
ing a phone call in January that
she would have to pay him near-
ly $2,000 in towing and storage
fees for a car stolen last Decem-
ber, a claim Glodzik denies.
In a Jan. 24 interview, Glodzik
told Times Leader reporter Ter-
rie Morgan Besecker that he
had already taken Aleos car to
a scrapyard to be salvaged. Mor-
gan Besecker looked into it, and
learned the state Department of
Transportation had no record of
a salvage title beiing issued for
Aleos vehicle, as would be le-
gally required if he had done as
he claimed.
On Friday evening, Glodzik
called Aleo and offered to tow
the car to her home at no charge.
He said there was a piece in
the paper, Aleo recounted, ap-
parently referring to a letter to
the editor in Thursdays Times
Leader, and hes tired of it.
Glodzik declined comment
when contacted Saturday.
All of which creates the pro-
verbial no-brainer for Leighton
and City Council: Tell Glodzik
he must provide a satisfactory
explanation immediately by
the end of this week at the latest
or the contract is terminated.
It would have to be a heck of
an explanation. Serious ques-
tions about Glodziks business
practices have bubbled up for
many months. Council has
asked for documents and an-
swers, but never received any
satisfactory responses. Until
now, theres been enough gray
in the debate to justify delaying
contract termination. That is no
longer true.
Only three explanations come
to mind: Glodzik lied about tak-
ing Aleos car to a scrapyard, or
he did but managed to skirt the
legal requirement for a salvage
title, or he took it to some shady
salvage yard that operates out-
side the law, then got it back.
Unless Glodzik comes up
with a fourth alternative that
makes sense, it is time for the
city to bag LAG.

A
California ballot mea-
sure last fall to require
labeling of genetically
engineered foods was
poorly drafted and, fortunately,
failed at the polls. But we hoped
the market would force trans-
parency in the sale of genetically
altered foods, and sure enough,
its beginning: This week Whole
Foods, Trader Joes and some
other retailers announced they
would not sell genetically engi-
neered seafood in their stores.
AquaBounty Technology of
Massachusetts won provisional
approval by the Food and Drug
Administration in December for
its AquaAdvantage salmon. The
sh carries a gene that makes
it grow twice as fast as Atlantic
salmon. The FDA will issue its
nal report on what would be
the rst genetically engineered
sh sold in U.S. stores after the
60-day public comment window
closes April 26. The FDA has
not indicated that it would re-
quire the sh to be labeled.
But Whole Foods, which
has more than 300 stores, an-
nounced Wednesday that it
will require labels for all food
containing genetically modied
ingredients beginning 2018. So
while Proposition 37 failed, the
movement toward labeling is
under way.
The National Academy of Sci-
ences, World Health Organiza-
tion and American Medical As-
sociation agree that no one has
proved any risk from modied
foods. But the products are rela-
tively new, and the long-term ef-
fects havent been tested.
Genetically engineered food
is labeled in Europe and other
parts of the world.
It should be labeled in the
United States.

Commonwealth recognizes dedication of area doctors
HEALING OF THE sick
requires teamwork of
the highest level, and
doctors are at the core
of this relationship. As
the region celebrates
National Doctors Day
on March 30, we at Com-
monwealth Health celebrate the work of
all physicians.
Doctors are people of compassion who
heal those who are sick. They listen and
they give advice. They diagnose and
prescribe medicine if needed. They evalu-
ate tests, suggest or perform surgery and,
always, they answer the questions of those
anxious about medical conditions.
Commonwealth Health commends doc-
tors of all specialties primary care and
medical/surgical specialistswho treat
our populations wide array of medical
conditions.
Its worth remembering that just as our
regions population is aging, so too is our
pool of physicians. To help address the
regions physician needs, Commonwealth
Health is pursuing an aggressive strategy
to recruit and retain the best physician
talent in our region. In fact, this ongoing
effort has already met with great success,
as weve welcomed 21 new primary and
specialty care physicians to our area over
the last year. Indeed, several physicians
have ofces in more than one community
to increase patient convenience.
Our hospitals are also active in the
development of the regions future physi-
cians through our own Family Medicine
Residency Program, founded in 1974, and
with The Wright Center for Graduate
Medical Education and The Common-
wealth Medical College, to strengthen
opportunities for medical education and
residencies.
Im proud to say that Commonwealth
Health touched almost two million lives
last year, positively impacting quality
patient care and contributing to the well-
being of communities across Northeastern
Pennsylvania. Just last year alone, our
hospitals admitted almost 48,000 patients
and had over 1.7 million outpatient visits,
performed nearly 40,000 surgeries and
over 3,700 newborn deliveries. And our
afliated emergency departments saw
more than 152,000 visits. Patients clearly
count on us for the health care services
they need. And with our recent joint an-
nouncement giving Geisinger Health Plan
members access to Wilkes-Barre General
Hospital along with its sister Common-
wealth Health hospitals its clear that
offering more health care options to our
patients is a high priority for us.
We appreciate our patients trust and
are committed to quality care and person-
alized service for every patient. And every
doctor in the Commonwealth Health fam-
ily joins our commitment to high quality
standards.
And just as were investing in our doc-
tors, so too are we investing in our facili-
ties and medical technology. In just the
last year, more than $71 million in capital
investments were made across Common-
wealth Healths afliated hospitals, part
of a quarter billion-dollar investment
planned over the next several years.
Of particular note is that our facilities
will invest nearly $40 million over the
next year in developing user-friendly
clinical automation and electronic medical
records to allow doctors and clinicians
to harness the digital power of informa-
tion technology to provide quality patient
care.
One of the things our doctors tell
us and with which we agree whole-
heartedlyis that our accomplishments
wouldnt be possible without our dedicat-
ed employees, volunteers, and the support
of the community leaders on our boards
of trustees. Our success in caring for our
friends, neighbors, and families here in
Northeastern Pennsylvania is truly a team
effort.
And so, as we observe National Doc-
tors Day this year, we pay special thanks
to all of the regions medical practitioners
whose skill and commitment not only
helps us deliver high-quality care to our
patients, but gives us a strong foundation
for continued medical innovation and
success. To our doctors, we all say thank
you!

Tapping Shale supplies
vital for states economy
I
rst met Tom Corbett in Dallas for a
voter rally. He won! So, why are you pun-
ishing the drivers of Pennsylvania with a
gas hike? You are giving less to support
state and schools. All you would need
to do is make a deal with the major gas
company in Pennsylvania, Chesapeake,
Chief or Cabot.
You could split gas royalties 50-50 by
drilling under our miles of turnpike roads.
It would bring trillions of dollars the state
needs. An example is Elk Lake School dis-
trict, it has a gas well and it gets a royalty
check of $50,000 dollars a month.
Pennsylvania should be taking advan-
tage of this gas and using it as well as
selling it to China and Japan. Talk to the
gas company and do it now. We have
thousands of miles of Pennsylvania roads
and trillions and trillions of cubic feet of
gas beneath the Shale. Pennsylvania owns
one million acres of state gamelands.
Just think of how much gas and wealth
it could bring to Harrisburg if it were
drilled?
Yes, roads and pipe lines would be
made through dense rocks and trees, but
that is a good thing because then grass
is planted on that land. The deer and
turkeys nally have a food source and old
hunters like me wont get lost in the mil-
lion acre dark forest.
Hundreds of new food plots would keep
the deer and turkeys off the farm elds
and roads and back on the game lands. It
is a win-win situation for all.
After we tap the 25-year supply of
Marcellus Shale, miles under is the Utica
Shale, and further down lies the Black
River Shale, and that is where the oil lies.
This is our way to say good bye to the
Middle East and our gasoline problems.
Thanks to Mr. Drake, we have oil in
Pennsylvania.
To anybody who thinks I am wrong,
you must not have had to spend six hours
in a gas line to get only ve gallons of gas.
It was the worst of times. I remember it
well, the Middle East had us at its mercy.
Now its our turn!

Vice President / Executive Editor
garnered notoriety. By 2011,
more than 30 crimes were alleg-
edly committed by current or for-
mer inmates.
The centers are supposed to
provide a transition to civilian
life for pre-released prisoners
who are nishing their sentences
there as well as parolees who
have nished serving their sen-
tences.
Our fear all along has been
that this system is not working.
Our concern is that theyre just
lling beds and its affecting
our community in a very negative
way, Palermo said.
Thankfully, the report backs
up what weve been saying all
along. And the (DOC) secre-
tary is actually agreeing with us.
He called the system an abject
failure, she said, referring to a
quote from Secretary of Correc-
tions John E. Wetzel in a recent
New York Times story. I dont
think its what they were expect-
ing to get as results. Knowing the
secretary, I think he will follow
through and do what he can to
correct this.
Attempts to reach ofcials with
the DOC on Monday were unsuc-
cessful.
In his introduction to the re-
port, Wetzel writes that ofcials
realize from the analysis that
we have a lot of work to do to
improve outcomes in our CCC
system.
Wetzel said legislative chang-
es accomplished through Gov.
Tom Corbetts Justice Reinvest-
ment Initiative are specically
targeted toward improving the
CCC system, and suggests that
the contracts with private CCC
companies will in the future be
focused on performance-based
recidivism outcomes.
Still, Palermo said she hopes
the DOC will not renew its con-
tract with Community Education
Center, the company that bought
MinSec late last year.
In response to a request for
comment on the study and howit
related to CEC, company spokes-
man Christopher Greeder wrote
that the report is a landmark
study that offers a complex look
at the challenging issue of reduc-
ing recidivism.
Greeder said there are many
excellent recommendations
and constructive discussions of
the factors surrounding current
procedures and about future
benchmarks and performance
standards.
Greeder noted the report indi-
cates that community corrections
center residents on parole are
subject to much greater levels of
scrutiny than parolees released to
the street. Thus, its more likely
that parole-violating behaviors
will be detected, which might
explain why their rates of recidi-
vism are higher, he said.
Greeder said CEC looks for-
ward to competing for addi-
tional opportunities under the
new framework and also taking
an active part in pragmatic policy
changes to improve community
corrections programs. He also
noted that, according to the re-
port, longer stays in halfway
houses are associated with lower
rates of recidivism.
Hazleton Police Chief Frank
DeAndrea disagrees with Greed-
ers assertion that higher recidi-
vism rates might be a result of
greater scrutiny being placed on
CCC residents than on parolees
released to the streets.
I believe the systemis awed,
DeAndrea said.
He said he believes the DOCs
placement of parolees and pre-
release prisoners in CCCs in com-
munities in or near which their
crimes were committed instead
of at CCCs in their hometown
communities sets them up for
failure because they have no fam-
ily or friends to support them in
those communities.
It also makes it harder for CCC
residents to nd jobs because
employers are less likely to hire
out-of-town ex-cons than local
people.
DeAndrea also said the situ-
ation with the CCC in Hazleton
has not improved since Commu-
nity Education Center took over.
While DeAndrea still has ac-
cess to the centers database, un-
fortunately, CEC has had no con-
tact with the police department,
even after they promised to have
an exceptional relationship with
us, he said. I dont even have
contact information for CEC.

contract.
While the report doesnt
name the superintendent, it
is clearly referring to Nancy
Tkatch, who left the district
on June 30, 2011 after the
board declined to renew her
contract. She is currently the
administrative director at
West Side Career and Tech-
nology Center.
According to the report,
the districts contract with
Tkatch, running from July
1, 2007 to her departure in
2011, stated that if she de-
clined district insurance cov-
erage she was eligible for a
health benet waiver worth
25 percent of the monthly
premium share the district
would otherwise have spent.
Tkatch, who agreed to pay
25 percent of her health in-
surance premium when hired
in 2004, sent a memo to the
district dated Jan. 27, 2011
requesting consideration of
a 25 percent health benet
waiver payment, according
to the report.
At that point she was no
longer insured through the
district. She requested and
received $3,360, one quarter
of the $13,440 husband/wife
benet plan she was entitled
to.
Neither incident referenced
constituted a nding, the
ofcial term for noncompli-
ance with state laws and
procedures. In that regard,
the the district was found in
full compliance. But the two
discrepancies were listed as
observations, which are
recommendations for correc-
tive action to avoid a poten-
tial problem that didnt rise
to the level of noncompliance
during the period audited,
Dec. 17, 2009 through May
15, 2012.
The auditor generals re-
port cites two problems:
First, the offer for the waiver
payment expired Aug. 31,
2010; second, the board ap-
proved the payment in execu-
tive session, not at a public
meeting.
The district has eliminated
the waiver payment in the
current contract.

AUDIT
permission.
Ziegler said Sanduskys voice
was necessary for his lm, and
he plans to release more of the
audio clips later.
This is all about Joe Paternos
alleged culpability, which I dont
believe the facts back, Ziegler
told host Matt Lauer. I believe
he was railroaded.
When Ziegler asked Sandusky
if Paterno would have allowed
Sandusky to keep coaching if he
knew Sandusky were pedophile,
he answered:
If he absolutely thought I
was, Id say no. If he had a sus-
picion, I dont know the answer
to that.
Ziegler said he believes Victim
2 told investigators he was not
abused on the night in question.
On the show, Ziegler held up
sheets of paper he said were
from the young mans interview
Nov. 9, 2011, with defense at-
torney Joe Amendolas investi-
gator. The typing on the papers
was not legible, and lines were
redacted.
Ziegler said the young man
told the investigator nothing
happened in the shower that
night, that McQueary was lying,
and that the investigators tried
to get him to lie.
Im saying hes telling the
truth on Nov. 9, 2011, and that
Joe Paterno was railroaded
here, Ziegler said of Victim 2.
But theres wide disagreement
over Victim 2, who never testi-
ed at trial seemingly because
neither the prosecuting attor-
neys nor the defense lawyers
could count on himto withstand
cross-examination.
Amendola told the Centre
Daily Times in January 2012
that a young man had come
forward to him about that 2001
shower incident, but the young
man later contacted local lawyer
Andrew Shubin and cut off con-
tact with Amendola.
The lawyers for Victim 2 have
furiously defended their client,
saying he was subject to years
of abuse, including the night in
question that McQueary testi-
ed about. The young man came
forward in June.
The lawyers also released
voicemail messages Sandusky
left for Victim 2 in September
2011.
Ziegler said on the show that
Victim 2 was interviewed by po-
lice that month.
The civil attorneys for Victim
2, who include local lawyers
Justine Andronici and Shubin,
responded to the interview in a
statement aired by Today.
Our clients, including Victim
2, have heard enough from Jerry
Sandusky, the lawyers said.
They are focused on healing
and holding Penn State account-
able for choosing to protect
Jerry Sandusky and themselves
instead of protecting children
from years of horric sexual
abuse.
The lawyer for the Paterno
family, Wick Sollers, released
a statement stating the fam-
ily had no role in obtaining or
releasing the audio clips that
were aired Monday. Sollers said
Zieglers attempt to defend Pa-
terno with the clips was mis-
guided and inappropriate.
Sollers said Sanduskys com-
ments were transparently self-
serving and yet another insult
to the victims and anyone who
cares about the truth in this
tragic story.
Penn State spokesman Da-
vid La Torre said Sanduskys
comments continue to open
wounds for his victims, and the
victims of child sexual abuse ev-
erywhere.
We have tremendous respect
for the men who came forward
to tell their stories publicly, La
Torre said in a statement.
while at the same time cre-
ate a great experience for
our customers.
The Taylors were busy
Monday helping to get the
store ready for opening. The
original jewelry cases are
lined up, and Earl Hoopin-
garner and Matthew Mitch-
ell were painting the ceiling
and polishing the wood pan-
eling to restore the lustre to
the interior.
Chandeliers still must be
polished and the exterior
brass and marble facade will
once again sparkle. But Mi-
chael Taylor, 36, said a new
awning will have to wait.
So many people have
stopped by to look at what
were doing and to wish us
well, he said. They all have
stories about Frank Clarks
and the special items they
purchased here.
Taylor said living up to
that legacy adds some pres-
sure to the opening of a new
venture. He and his wife
have another Ocean Gold lo-
cation in Nanticoke. Ilonas
father, Benjamin Kravets,
started the business in At-
lantic City, N.J.
Frank Clark closed about
20 years ago and the build-
ing has been vacant since.
The Taylors found some
Frank Clark les and real-
ized the Wilkes-Barre com-
pany was larger than people
thought.
They were an interna-
tional company, Taylor
said. We found shipping la-
bels from around the world.
They shipped a lot of mer-
chandise out of the U.S.
Hoopingarner, owner of
Slims Hauling in Wilkes-
Barre, said he wants to get
the place back to where it
was. He said restoring the
wood, chandeliers, facade
and carpeting is exciting.
It feels like Im bringing
history back, he said.
Taylor said he and Ilona
will do repairs and fabrica-
tions of special pieces.
Ilona said the store will
offer gold, silver, diamonds
and more. She said like any
business, inventory and mer-
chandise lines will grow.
To think our grand open-
ing is only a week or two
away, she said. Its a long
time from16 years ago when
I rst noticed this store.

Thomas was with as many as
eight people the night she dis-
appeared.
Shortly after Thomas was
reported missing, investiga-
tors focused on Steven Mar-
tin, whose Ross Township
house and ATV were searched
for evidence.
Martin pleaded guilty to
involuntary manslaughter in
connection with a fatal crash
in Wilkes-Barre, and took his
own life in state prison in Au-
gust 2005.
State police also ruled out
the skull belonging to a wom-
an who was last seen leaving
a tavern in Philadelphia more
than eight years ago, accord-
ing to NaMus.gov, a reposi-
tory and resource center for
missing and unidentied per-
sons.
Details of the discovery in
Newport Township posted on
NaMus.gov say the skull and
the rst cervical vertebra was
recovered along with teeth.
Almost immediately, state
police said the skull did not
belong to Daniele Imbo, 34,
of Philadelphia, who was last
seen with Richard Petrone,
35, driving away in his black
2001 Dodge pickup truck from
a tavern on South Avenue in
Philadelphia on Feb. 19, 2005.
Petrone also disappeared.
Connors said he had no de-
tails about the Imbo case.

Only one part of the 2013 Recidivism Report deals specically with
recidivism rates for prisoners released to community corrections
centers.
The remainder focuses on recidivism rates between 2000 and 2010,
examining rearrest, reincarceration and overall recidivism over six-
month, one-year and three-year periods statewide and by county as
well as by age, sex and race of released prisoners, and by the types of
crimes they committed.
Some of the ndings include:
About six in 10 released inmates are rearrested or reincarverated
within three years of release.
Overall, recidivism in Pennsylvania have been stable over the last 10
years.
Rearrest rates have been slowly increasing while reincarceration
rates peaked in 2005 and have been declining.
Dauphin County had the highest overall three-year recidivism rate at
67 percent; Forest County had the lowest at 36 percent; the state aver-
age was 62 percent; and Luzerne Countys was 56 percent.
The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre metropolitan area had the second-highest
reincarceration rate for released prisoners after three years 47.5
percent; the Williamsport area had a rate of 48.6 percent.
The Philadelphia area had the worst reincarceration rate at 57.3
percent; the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area came in ninth worst at 44.5
percent.
For overall recidivism in metropolitan areas, the Harrisburg-Carlisle
area was the worst at 65.3 percent; Scranton/Wilkes-Barre was eighth
worst at 58 percent.

RECIDIVISM
ORLANDO, Fla. LeBron
James left one rebound shy of a
triple-double, feigning frustration
as he checked out of the game.
Thats about all the Miami Heat
could complain about these days.
James nished with 24 points,
11 assists and nine rebounds, and
the Heat won their 27th straight
game by running away in the -
nal minutes to beat the Orlando
Magic 108-94 on Monday night.
Mario Chalmers scored 17,
and Chris Bosh and Ray Allen
each added 12 for Miami, which
broke open a tie game with a 13-0
run spanning the end of the third
and start of the fourth quarters.
Miami eventually pushed the
lead to 20 before Heat coach Erik
Spoelstra emptied the bench in
what became his 250th win with
the team.
The Heat now are within six
games of matching the 1971-72
Los Angeles Lakers for the lon-
gest winning streak in NBA his-
tory.
Jameer Nelson had 27 points
and 12 assists for the Magic, who
got 20 points from Tobias Harris.
A 20-2 run over 4 minutes
spanning the third and fourth
quarters was all it took for Miami
to take control for good, and beat
the Magic for the third time in
Pocono Raceway has no way knowing or
even guessing whether its extensive social
media efforts have put one extra person in
a seat at one of NASCARs two yearly stops
at the Long Pond track.
Doesnt matter, track President Brandon
Igdalsky said.
Whether the track ever proves one more
dollar was spent because of social media,
contests or any of the new marketing ef-
forts its undertaken over the last fewyears,
he knows he has a more engaged fan base
than in the past.
There is just no way to judge by looking
at the numbers, he said about translating
Facebook likes and Twitter followers into
paying customers. We know were getting
them. They tell us.
Pocono Raceway has been one of NAS-
CARs industry leaders in social media ef-
forts.
The tracks Twitter page (@poconora-
ceway) ranks fourth for followers (39,847)
among race tracks in the country, behind
Daytona International Raceway (68,927),
Indianapolis Motor Speedway (46,064)
and Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee
(41,588).
But thats only because they have a
race this weekend, Igdalsky said recently
about the March 17 race at Bristol. We go
back and forth with them.
Social media targeted
NASCAR ofcials said its tracks, as a
whole, are well informed on the benets
and necessity of social media to help keep
its fans informed.
The social media team at the NASCAR
ofces in Charlotte, N.C., said they havent
had to do much to encourage tracks to be
active on social media.
Tracks, teams, and drivers alike have
embraced social media and are continuing
to dedicate resources to their social activi-
ties, said NASCAR Chief Marketing Of-
cer Steve Phelps.
Last year, a NASCAR-commissioned re-
port at public relations rm Taylor in New
York City concluded digital is the key to
the future for NASCAR.
Taylors 2012 survey of 1,500 avid NAS-
CAR fans showed almost four out of ve
between ages of 18 and 34 use social media
to experience NASCAR, according to Tay-
lor, and that Twitter use went up 35 per-
cent among avid fans from 2011 to 2012.
Optimizing the interaction
Earlier this year, NASCAR unveiled its
Fan and Media Engagement Center at
its headquarters to better understand fan
conversations and optimize engagement
with the social community, Phelps said.
Stakeholders in the sport must provide
a compelling mobile and social experience
in order to remain relevant with these fans
of the future, said Christian Alfonsi, Tay-
lors executive vice president of strategic
planning.
Igdalsky said that message already was
clear at Pocono Raceway, and said there is
another benet to social media: Its free.

PGC: Deer
harvest up
statewide
By TOMVENESKY
tvenesky@timesleader.com
Hunters harvested more than
343,000 deer in 2012-13, a two
percent hike from the 2011 g-
ure of 336,200.
The harvest gures, which are
estimates, were released by the
Pennsylvania Game Commis-
sion on Monday. In the north-
east, the overall deer harvest
(antlered and antlerless com-
bined) was up in three wildlife
management units and down
slightly in two.
The biggest increase was seen
in WMU 3B that had an antler-
less harvest of 8,700, up from
7,700 in 2011. The largest drop
was in WMU 3D with an antler-
less harvest of 6,000, 1,200 less
than 2011.
Overall, hunters harvested
67,100 deer in the northeast re-
gion last season, an increase of
700 over the previous years to-
tal of 66,400.
Statewide, hunters took
133,860 antlered deer in the
2012-13 seasons, an increase
of about ve percent from the
previous license years harvest
of 127,540. Also, hunters har-
vested 209,250 antlerless deer
in 2012-13, which is a slight in-
crease over the 208,660 antler-
less deer taken in 2011-12.
This years antlered deer
harvest is slightly above the av-
erage harvest since 2005, when
agency efforts began to stabilize
deer populations in most of the
state, said Carl G. Roe, Game
Commission executive director.
The age structure of the ant-
lered deer harvest was 49 per-
cent 1.5 year-old-bucks and 51
percent 2.5-year-old and older
bucks.
The antlerless hunter suc-
cess rate remained at about 25
percent for licenses issued. This
is on average with harvest suc-
cess for recent years. The age
structure of this years antler-
less deer harvest was 61 percent
adult females, 22 percent but-
ton bucks, and 18 percent doe
Hoping for a Wild time after teams trades
By TOMVENESKY
tvenesky@timesleader.com
An empty locker stall and a farewell
message to his teammates on a white
board in the locker roomwere the only
signs on Monday that Joe Morrow
was traded and gone from the Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton Penguins.
Morrow was traded to the Dallas
organization on Sunday, when the
team was off, and there wasnt time
for goodbyes. Morrow had to head to
Texas to meet his new team, and the
Penguins defense corps had to reshuf-
e at Mondays practice and move on
without one of its key parts.
We pride ourselves in the fact that
we can take a guy out and plug a guy
in, said captain and veteran defense-
man Joey Mormina. If we lose a guy
to a call-up or trade, its the next guys
responsibility to make sure he can step
in and contribute.
That falls on Cody Wild, who played
in 51 games for the Penguins last sea-
son but has been on the ice sparingly
this year thanks to defensive depth.
But all of a sudden, that blueline
depth has been whittled away. Morrow
and Carl Sneep have been traded, Bri-
an Strait was claimed off waivers and
Simon Despres and Robert Bortuzzo
are up in Pittsburgh.
Wild, who signed with the team
earlier in the season, nds himself in
a spot he didnt think would be there
not too long ago.
Before I signed here, I didnt think
there was any chance of coming back.
I was looking at the depth chart and
there was like 18 or 19 guys, Wild
said. But Im getting another chance

Woods
on top of
the world
By DOUG FERGUSON
AP Golf Writer
ORLANDO, Fla. The mo-
ment was vintage Tiger Woods,
and so was his reaction.
Seconds after Rickie Fowler
made a 40-foot birdie putt on
the 12th hole to pull within two
shots of the lead, Woods posed
over his 25-foot birdie putt until
he swept the putter upward in
his left hand
and marched
toward the cup
as it dropped
for a birdie.
F o w l e r ,
standing on
the edge of the
green, turned
with a slight
smile as if to say, What else can
I do?
Woods won the Arnold Palm-
er Invitational on Monday and
returned to No. 1 in the world
for the rst time since October
2010, the longest spell of his ca-
reer. After all that time, after so
much turmoil with his personal
life and his health, Woods looks
as good as ever.
Maybe better.
Its a byproduct of hard work,
patience and getting back to
winning golf tournaments,
Woods said.
He essentially wrapped up his
eighth title at Bay Hill with an
8-iron out of a fairway bunker on
the par-5 16th that easily cleared
the water and landed safely on
the green for a two-putt birdie.
Woods dangled his tongue out of
his mouth as the ball was in the
air, another sign of his swagger.
Just like his other two wins
this year, Woods never let any-
one get closer than two shots in
the nal round. With a conserva-
tive bogey he could afford on the
nal hole, he closed with a 2-un-
der 70 for a two-shot win over
Justin Rose.
Woods walked off the 18th
green waving his putter over
his head truly a magic wand

ON THE MARK
By MARK DUDEK
For The Times Leader
The Bobby Weiss Series continues tonight with three divisions
for the 3-year old lly pacers highlighting this evenings card at The
Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. The horse to watch throughout
the series is Jerseylicious. Trained by Wayne Givens, this daugh-
ter of Western Ideal raced with the top 2-year olds in the country
last season, while breaking her maiden in an upset victory in the
$268,300 Sweetheart Final at the Meadowlands. She is 4-for-4 on
her early 2013 campaign, including a 1:50.3 career best mile last
time out at Dover Downs. She is a star in the making and should
certainly dominate in that third race.

Candice Van Horn was hav-
ing another solid season playing
with the Coppin State softball
team but the sophomore saw
the season stop short when she
suffered a fracture, dislocation
of the middle nger on her right
hand.
She had surgery on March 18
at Johns Hopkins Hospital in
Baltimore and is expected to be
out four to six weeks.
Van Horn (Hazleton Area)
was hitting .346 (9-for-26) with
four doubles, four RBI and a
team-high 14 runs. The teams
shortstop (three errors in 44
chances) also pitched two in-
nings of scoreless ball in relief.
Candice is our best player
andshe also has become a leader
this year, coach Larry Hineline
said. She is a tremendous bas-
erunner, has more condence at
the plate and more condence
in the eld. She is an all-around
great player and the player who
is our straw that stirs the drink,
as Reggie Jackson used to say
about himself.
The minimum she will be out
is four weeks.
She has a couple of pins in
her nger but we are hoping for
a quick healing process, Hine-
line said. If I can get her back
by the rst of May in time for
our last series of the year and
then for the MEAC (Mid-East-
ern Athletic Conference) tour-
ney that would be ideal.
She is a tough kid. She wants
to be out there and Im hoping
that outweighs any fear or pain
she may experience when she
returns.
The Eagles are 5-14 overall
and 0-2 in MEAC play.
BAKER FITS RIGHT IN:
The Kutztown baseball team
lost four of its top hitters from
last season so the addition of
junior college transfer Carson
Baker is a key for the Golden
Bears.
Baker (Lake-Lehman) has
started 14 games in left eld
and is hitting .200 (9-for-48)
with three doubles, eight runs
and nine RBI to help the team
get off to an 11-4 start with a 2-0
mark in PSAC play.
Carson has added an experi-
enced and powerful bat to our
lineup, coach Chris Blum said.
He comes froma winning tradi-
tion that brings instant credibili-
ty and an understanding of what
it takes to be a successful player
and leader to the younger guys.
The coach also adds that its
a pleasure to have Baker on the
squad.
Carson is respectable, ma-
ture, hard-working and easy to
coach, Blum said.
OSTRANDER HELPING
OUT: Junior Lisa Ostrander
(Pittston Area) is doing the
job at the plate and in the eld
for the Keystone softball team.
Shes hitting .333 (11-for-25)
with two doubles, three RBI and
ve runs. Shes had two hits in
four of the teams 10 games.
Lisa has been a big help at
the plate coming through dur-
ing some clutch situations,
coach Renee Barrows said. She
is a solid player that I can de-
pend on to perform well.
Ostrander is also helping out
in the eld.
During our last two games in
Myrtle Beach our center eld-
er injured her ankle and Lisa
stepped into the position and
did the job, Barrows said.
Freshman Ariel Ardo
(Pittston Area) is also on the
squad but has seen limited ac-
tion to date.
I have some high hopes for
Ariel over the next couple of
years, Barrows said. I think
she could contribute at the plate
by the end of this season and
potentially see some outeld
time.
The Giants are 6-4 overall and
1-2 in the Colonial State Colle-
giate Conference.
GOOD START FOR
RUBASKY: Freshman Hannah
Rubasky (Nanticoke) is batting
.333 (8-for-24) with a double
and ve RBI for the Concordia
(N.Y.) softball team. She has
also made four starts in the cir-
cle and is 1-3. She has worked 26
innings and has given up 54 hits
and 34 runs, 17 earned, with
three walks and 13 strikeouts.
Hannah is a hard worker and
very dedicated to her craft,
coach Kathy Laoutaris said.
Her pitching stats do not repre-
sent her effort to date.
The Clippers are young with
eight freshmen on the squad
and are just 2-9 in the early go-
ing.
We got off to a slow start
but we are working very hard
and improving daily, Laoutaris
said. Hannah is a great young
lady and we look forward to a
successful four years from her.
HAMPSEY PITCHING IN:
Freshman Jamie Hampsey
(Tunkhannock) is pitching for
the Scranton softball team. She
has made four starts and has
three complete games. Her re-
cord is 1-3 and she has a 5.52
earned run average.
In 19 innings, she has given
up just 13 hits and 17 runs, 15
earned. She has walked 28 and
has 19 strikeouts. She also is hit-
ting .286 (2-for-7) with and RBI
for the 2-4 Royals.
The right-hander had a solid
effort in a 3-1 loss to Kings last
Thursday. She worked six in-
nings and gave up three hits and
three runs, two earned, while
walking eight and striking out
seven.
Jamies work ethic and com-
mitment to improving show a
lot about her character, coach
Mia Collarini said. Her com-
mand has been superb. I believe
that with more experience and
innings under her belt, Jamie
will be a force to be reckoned
with in the Landmark Confer-
ence.
ROOSA, OHARA FALL
SHORT: Bloomsburg senior
Josh Roosa (Crestwood) and
Columbia senior Jake OHara
(Crestwood) competed in the
NCAA Division I Wrestling
Championships last weekend in
Des Moines, Iowa.
Roosa, competing at 149
pounds, lost in the rst round,
scored a 4-1 decision in the rst
consolation round and was then
eliminated in the second con-
solation round 6-2 by Nick Bra-
scetta of Virginia Tech. Roosa
nished the season with a 23-7
record.
OHara, wrestling at 157
pounds, also nished 1-2 in the
tourney and was eliminated
in the consolations 3-0 to Har-
vards Walter Peppelman. It
was his third close loss to Pep-
pelman this season. OHara n-
ished 23-9 on the season.
MASELKEVICH ON THE
LANES: Freshman Kayla
Maselkevich (Hazleton Area)
and her 13th ranked Kutztown
womens bowling team were
beaten 4-2 in a best-of-seven
seminal match to St. Francis
(Pa.) in the Northeast Confer-
ence Championships last Sun-
day in Elmwood Park, N.J.
The Golden Bears (76-41)
now await word to see if they
have qualied for the NCAA
Championships (April 10-13
in Detroit). The eight teams
will be announced Wednesday.
Kutztown has already qualied
for the United States Bowling
Congress Team and Individual
Championships (April 16-20)
Maselkevich, a right-hander,
is averaging 188.70 in 20 games
and six events. Her frame aver-
age (18.619) is fth best on the
team.

The only budget Pocono
Raceway has in social media is
for a digital media employee.
That hasnt affected the
marketing budget as a whole,
which was reduced a few years
ago, though that reduction had
nothing to do with social media
efforts.
We saw the writing on the
wall a few years back, Igdal-
sky said. We saw the direction
sports properties were taking,
and we wanted to be ahead of
the curve when the time came,
so we dove into social media.
Igdalskys personal Twitter
account boasts 17,094 follow-
ers, nearly as much as NAS-
CAR host tracks like Watkins
Glen International (18,009).
While many people in the
sports world often hire people
to Tweet for them and respond
to fans, Igdalsky said thats not
his style. What you read on his
Twitter page is actually him
tweeting.
No one else even has the
log-in, he said. I love that I
can sit and watch a race and
talk directly with fans who are
doing the same thing.
That was on display during
the Budweiser Shootout the
day before the Daytona 500 this
year. Igdalsky had just left the
track while the race was still
going on that Saturday night in
February when a car crash in-
jured people in the crowd.
Even though Igdalsky wasnt
there, he saw all the tweets and
turned the TV on when he got
back to his room.
And I sat and went on Twit-
ter, just like every other fan,
he said. Social media is fun
to do with the fans. It gives us
that personal one-on-one inter-
action we really cant get any
other way. Its important to us,
and it will stay that way.

at it and Im ready to go.
Wild hasnt played since
March 1 but has used his prac-
tice time to stay game ready.
He could be paired with Alex
Grant, his defense partner from
last season.
We had good chemistry to-
gether, Wild said.
Its been frustrating not
playing, but thats the business
side of it. Now, I get a chance
to get back in the lineup and I
have to play well when Im in
there.
Head coach John Hynes isnt
concerned about Wild not t-
ting in. He performed well last
season and in the eight games
he has played in this season.
Hes a phenomenal human
being who has an upbeat at-
titude and understands its a
privilege to play professional
hockey, Hynes said. Hes
played very well this year and
if this (trade) didnt happen we
were thinking of ways to get
him a game. He deserves the
opportunity.
In 57 games with the Pen-
guins this season, Morrow tal-
lied four goals and 15 points
while the coaching staff worked
intensely with the rookie on
improving his overall game.
Hynes said Morrows progress
in the development depart-
ment turned out to help Pitts-
burgh indirectly.
If his value increases be-
cause hes getting better down
here as in this situation
where someone else saw the
value and had a need for him
more than Pittsburgh right
now its still helping Pitts-
burgh get better because they
can get a great player to ll a
void, Hynes said. This is also
a good opportunity for Joe.
Hes going to a situation where
they felt a need without a back-
log of defensemen.
NOTES
Newly acquired winger
Brenden Morrow has spent his
entire NHL career with Dallas
and will be counted on to help
Pittsburgh make a deep run in
the postseason. While he wont
be in Wilkes-Barre, there is one
Penguin who is very familiar
with the leadership qualities
Pittsburghs new acquisition.
Warren Peters spent the
2009-10 season with the Dallas
organization but suffered a se-
rious injury during a preseason
ght with B.J. Crombeen of
the St. Louis Blues. It was Pe-
ters rst month with his new
club and he went on the injury
list before being sent down to
Texas.
And even though he wasnt
with the Stars for long, Bren-
den Morrow, who was the cap-
tain, called Peters twice during
his recovery to see how he was
doing.
He goes above and beyond
as a leader, Peters said of Bren-
den Morrow. Pittsburgh has a
good group of leaders already
and hes only going to bolster
that. He puts personal gratica-
tion aside for the benet of the
team. Ive seen him step up for
teammates on the ice and go to
bat for them off the ice.
The trade of Joe Morrow
will clear up some confusion
on the Penguins bench during
games.
It means that when Naz
(assistant coach Alain Nasred-
dine) says, Mo, youre up,
theres no more confusion,
Mormina said.

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Michael Young (10) elds a
ball in a spring training game Monday in Dunedin, Fla.
PHILADELPHIA Tyrone Garland
calls it the Southwest Philly Floater.
Just a little scoop layup crafted on the
Philadelphia playgrounds and perfected
in Kansas City.
Garlands shot with the catchy nick-
name has the La Salle Explorers oating
all the way to the NCAA tournaments
round of 16. The Explorers may not be
the most unlikely team to advance to the
second weekend hello, Florida Gulf
Coast but they are clearly in the best
position to make a deeper run.
The Explorers havent been this far in
the tournament in ve decades. May as
well stick around and see how far the fun
lasts.
No one wants the tournament to
stop at La Salle. Students at the small
Catholic university rushed the court at
Tom Gola Arena where they watched
the 13th-seeded Explorers beat Missis-
sippi 76-74 on the big screen, then hit the
streets outside campus where the party-
ing, moshing, and hollering continued
for hours.
Can you blame them?
None of Philadelphias six Division-I
basketball programs had a longer tour-
nament drought than the Explorers. The
last time the upstart Explorers got this
far, the NCAA tournament didnt even
have a round of 16. Tom Gola, a three-
time All-America, led the program to
consecutive trips to the NCAA champi-
onship game in 1954 and 1955. The Ex-
plorers won the 1954 national champion-
ship and then, almost nothing after 55.
They won a single tournament game in
1983 and in 1990 and hadnt returned for
a dose of March Madness since 1992.
All of that futility has been forgotten,
if not forgiven, during this three-game
tournament winning streak that has
them playing ninth-seeded Wichita State
on Thursday night in Los Angeles. The
Shockers took out top-seeded Gonzaga
to form this unlikely pairing in the West
Regional.
The Shockers, however, are in the
round of 16 for the rst time since 2006.
The Explorers have won more tourna-
ment games in the last week than they
have in the last 58 years combined.
We talked all week about the great
La Salle tradition, coach John Giannini
said. When you come in, you want to
bring that back. These guys are doing it
right before our eyes.
With one giant thrill along the way.
Ole Miss led 74-72 with 1:58 left and
enough time to pad their lead, it just
didnt happen. On their last possession,
the Explorers brought the ball up court,
with most everybody expecting Ramon
Galloway to take the shot. Garland in-
stead took a pass from just above the
3-point arc, split two defenders on a drive
down the lane, and scooped the ball in off
the glass for the winner.
The Rebels last-gasp heave was short
and hundreds of La Salle fans at the
Sprint Center went wild.
And a catchphrase was born.
Garland causally mentioned the name
of his shot in the postgame TV interview
and it took off on Twitter.
They call it on the playground, when
you see a big defender, just lay the ball
up and they call it a Southwest Floater,
he said. I just was hearing that as I was
growing up playing in the playgrounds.
He later tweeted, Thanks for the love
everybody love yall and thanks for mak-
ing the SW oater famous.
With his wide smile, headband and
dreadlocks, Garland has been one of the
early stars of a tournament stuffed with
upsets and new faces. Galloway also
tweeted a link to buy a yellow T-shirt
with dreads over a basketball and the
Southwest Philly Floater name.
He had an outstanding career at Phila-
delphias John Bartram High and was a
two-time, rst team, Class 4A All-State
selection. He decided to leave home
and attend Virginia Tech. But he barely
played and decided to transfer back to
his home city. Because of Garland and
Galloway, the Explorers have defeated
Boise State 80-71 in the First Four and
followed that up with a 63-61 win over
No. 4 seed Kansas State.

George Mason moving
into A-10 in July
FAIRFAX, Va. George
Mason athletic director Tom
OConnor says its bitter-
sweet to be leaving the Co-
lonial Athletic Association for
the Atlantic 10.
GMU announced Monday it
is switching conferences as of
July 1.
GMU was one of the found-
ing members of the CAA, but
OConnor said the changing
landscape of college sports
prompted the move. Two of
Masons regional rivals
Virginia Commonwealth and
Richmond previously de-
parted for the A-10, and the
switch also sets up a subway
conference rivalry with nearby
George Washington.
GMU is paying an exit fee
of $1 million and will forfeit
at least $1.65 million in con-
ference payouts. University
President Angel Cabrera said
the move will pay for itself in
as little as ve years.
The move leaves the CAA
with nine schools for 2013-14.
BIG TEN
Minnesota res coach
one day after loss
MINNEAPOLIS Min-
nesota has red Tubby Smith
one day after the Golden Go-
phers lost to Florida in the
NCAA tournament.
Athletics director Norwood
Teague announced the deci-
sion Monday and said it was
time for a fresh set of eyes
on the program.
Smith was 124-81 (.610) in
six seasons at Minnesota. He
arrived in 2007 fromKentucky,
immediately ramping up ex-
pectations for a team that was
buried by an academic cheat-
ing scandal.
Smith won 20 games ve
times. But he went just 46-
62 in Big Ten play and never
nished higher than sixth in
the conference. The Gophers
made three NCAAtournament
appearances under Smith.
They beat UCLA this year be-
fore losing on Sunday.
PAC-12
Howland ends decade
at UCLA graciously
LOS ANGELES Ben
Howland kept it classy in de-
parting as UCLA basketball
coach, thanking the athletic di-
rector who had red him a day
earlier while noting the high
expectations that come with
running a program that owns
a record 11 national champi-
onships.
Howland was applauded by
supporters as he walked into a
news conference at Pauley Pa-
vilionfor the last time Monday.
The 55-year-coach expressed
gratitude for his 10-year run
in Westwood, the longest ten-
ure since John Wooden retired
in 1975 after 27 years on the
sideline.
Howland had a 233-107 re-
cord in Westwood, including
three consecutive Final Four
appearances from 2006-08 and
four Pac-12 championships, in-
cluding this season. The Bru-
ins season ended last Friday
with an 83-63 loss to Minne-
sota in the NCAA tournament.
TELEVISION

NEW YORK The NCAA
tournaments rst week has
earned its highest television
rating in 15 years.
The broadcasts on CBS,
TBS, TNTand truTVaveraged

FGCU savors its ride to tourney glory
The Associated Press
FORT MYERS, Fla. Sher-
wood Brown only wanted a ba-
gel.
The Florida Gulf Coast star
walked into a restaurant on
campus Monday and was quick-
ly surrounded. People wanted
autographs. People wanted pho-
tos. People just wanted to yell
words of encouragement.
A school that opened a mere
16 years ago nds itself front-
and-center in March Madness.
I had no idea it was going to
be like this, but Im loving it,
Brown said as he made his es-
cape from the shop. I feel like
were getting a lot of America
behind us. I guess you could say
were a part of Americas teamat
this point.
Lines in the campus book-
store snaked from one side to
the other, more than 100 people
waiting for the chance to pay
for their FGCU shirts and hats.
Phone lines were jammed by
those seeking tickets for this
weekends South Regional. And
as they arrived at classes, play-
ers were met with applause.
Its so brand new, Eagles
coach Andy Eneld said Mon-
day, as emails popped into his
mailbox at a fairly dizzying rate.
No one knows no one knew
what FGCU stood for, the
letters. Now it puts our univer-
sity in a national spotlight and
rightly so, because this is a great
place. Its a young, vibrant uni-
versity with just a lot of energy.
Ive been trying to tell that story
to a lot of people.

Florida Gulf Coast players shower their coach Andy Eneld
with water in the teams locker room after winning a third-
round game against San Diego State on Sunday in Philadelphia.
The Explorers had not picked up
three victories in the tournament
for more than 50 years.
Wizards 107, Grizzlies 94
WASHINGTON John Wall
scored a career-high 47 points
and added eight assists, Eme-
ka Okafor had 21 points and
nine rebounds, and the under-
manned Washington Wizards
beat the Memphis Grizzlies.
Wall shot 13 of 22 from the
eld and made a career-high 19
free throws on 24 attempts.
Mike Conley led Memphis
with 23 points.
It was Washingtons sixth
straight home win, while Mem-
phis dropped its fourth straight
road game.
Already without guard Brad-
ley Beal (sprained left ankle),
guard A.J. Price (groin) and
forward Trevor Ariza (u), Wiz-
ards coach Randy Wittman an-
nounced before the game that
forwards Nene (sore right knee)
and Martell Webster (abdomen
strain) were also out.
Memphis center Marc Gasol
missed his second straight game
after aggravating an abdominal
tear Friday at New Orleans.
Pacers 100, Hawks 94
INDIANAPOLIS Gerald
Green scored 19 points and Roy
Hibbert nished with 17 points
and 13 rebounds Monday night,
leading short-handed Indiana
past Atlanta.
The Pacers (44-27) extended
their Central Division lead to
ve games over second-place
Chicago with 11 games to play.
And they did it despite playing
without Danny Granger, George
Hill, Lance Stephenson or David
West. All four sat out with inju-
ries.
They also won on a night
that Atlanta (39-32) could have
clinched a playoff spot.
Josh Smith led the Hawks
with 20 points and Al Hor-
ford had 13 points and eight
rebounds, not nearly enough
against the revamped and fo-
cused Pacers.
Hornets 110, Nuggets 86
NEW ORLEANS Ryan An-
derson scored 23 points, Brian
Roberts doubled his career high
with 18 assists and shorthanded
New Orleans beat Denver, end-
ing the Nuggets 15-game win
streak.
OTTAWA Mika Zibanejad
scored the winner in the shoot-
out to give the Ottawa Senators
a 3-2 win over the New Jersey
Devils on Monday.
Chris Phillips and Colin
Greening also scored for the
Senators, who got 32 saves from
Ben Bishop. Captain Daniel
Alfredsson also scored in the
shootout for Ottawa.
Andrei Loktionov and Marek
Zidlicky scored for the Devils as
Martin Brodeur faced 14 shots.
New Jersey tied the game
2-2 at 6:05 of the third period
as Zidlicky beat Bishop with a
wrist shot from the left circle.
Bruins 3, Maple Leafs 2
BOSTONPatrice Bergeron
scored the tying goal with 9:24
left in regulation, then put Bos-
ton ahead in the shootout as the
Bruins held on for a victory over
Toronto.
Milan Lucic also scored for
Boston, which rallied from a 2-0
decit and improved to 11-2-1 at
home this season.
Tuukka Rask had 23 saves
through regulation and over-
time, then stopped Nikolai Kule-
min on the Maple Leafs last
chance to extend the shootout,
which Boston led 2-1 on goals
by Tyler Seguin and Bergeron.
Kings 5, Blackhawks 4
CHICAGO Dustin Brown
converted his own rebound with
1:27 remaining, lifting Los An-
geles to a victory over Chicago.
Browns rst attempt went
off the back of Blackhawks de-
fenseman Johnny Oduya, but
it bounced right back to the
captain, who sent it past Corey
Crawford for his 12th of the
season. Anze Kopitar set up the
score by winning a faceoff in
Chicagos end.
Kopitar also had a goal in the
second period to end Los Ange-
les scoreless streak at 150 min-
utes, 35 seconds.
Michael Frolik had two goals
and an assist for Chicago, which
has lost two in a row. Patrick
Kane and Jonathan Toews also
scored.
Predators 3, Oilers 2
NASHVILLE, Tenn. Sergei
Kostitsyn had a goal and an as-
sist to lead Nashville to a win
over Edmonton.
Kevin Klein and Chris Muel-
ler also scored for Nashville,
which its third straight. Martin
Erat added two assists for the
Predators. He has seven points
(one goal, six assists) in his past
three games.
Corey Potter and Shawn Hor-
coff scored for the Oilers in their
third consecutive loss.
Penguins deal for defense
PITTSBURGH The Pitts-
burgh Penguins continued to
bolster their roster for a Stan-
ley Cup run, acquiring San Jose
defenseman Doug Murray on
Tuesday for a pair of second-
round picks.
The 33-year-old Murray will
give the Penguins a physical
presence at the blue line along
with plenty of playoff experi-
ence. The 6-foot-3, 245-pound
Murray has three assists in 29
games for the struggling Sharks
this season and a minus-8 rat-
ing.
Cooper takes over in Tampa
TAMPA, Fla. The Tampa
Bay Lightning have hired Jon
Cooper as their new coach.
The team announced the
move on Monday night.
Cooper had been coaching
Syracuse of the AHL, Tampa
Bays top minor league afliate.
He is replacing Guy Boucher,
who was red Sunday after 2
1/2 years with the team.
Cooper will coach his rst
game for the Lightning on Fri-
day night against the New Jer-
sey Devils.
STORRS, Conn. Kaleena
Mosqueda-Lewis scored 22
points and top-seeded Connecti-
cut advanced to the regional
seminals of the womens
NCAA tournament for the 20th
consecutive season with a 77-44
win over Vanderbilt on Monday
night.
Freshman Breanna Stewart
added 14 points and Stefanie

4), who are seeking their sixth
straight Final Four and eighth
national championship.
Tiffany Clarke scored 16 for
No. 8 seed Vandy (21-12), which
lost three of its last six games.
The Huskies led by 13 at half-
time and opened the second
half on a 17-0 run to put the
game out of reach. UConn held
Vanderbilt without a eld goal
for more than 7 minutes after
intermission, and the Commo-
dores missed 11 consecutive
shots.
UConn will play Maryland in
the round of 16 of the Bridge-
port Regional on Saturday.
Maryland 74,
Michigan State 49
COLLEGE PARK, Md.
Alyssa Thomas scored 28 points

gan State to advance to the
round of 16 in the NCAA wom-
ens tournament for a second
straight year.
The fourth-seeded Terrapins
(26-7) will face top seed Con-
necticut in the seminals. Mary-
land reached the round of eight
a year ago.
Thomas, a two-time Atlan-
tic Coast Conference player of
the year, had 18 at halftime to
provide the Terrapins with an
11-point cushion. Her layup
with 15 minutes left gave her
25 points and put Maryland up
46-30.
Annalise Pickrel and Becca

NCAA tournament games on
their home oor, will play Okla-
homa on Sunday.
Tennessee is the only pro-
gram to play in all 32 womens
NCAA tournaments. The lone
time the Lady Vols lost in the
rst or second round came with
an opening-round loss to Bowl-
ing Green in 2009.
Alexis Akin-Otiko scored 12
points for No. 10 seed Creigh-
ton (25-8), which was denied
its rst appearance in a regional
seminal.
Oklahoma 85, UCLA 72
COLUMBUS, Ohio Aaryn

Joanna McFarland handled
things inside with 20 points and
16 rebounds to lead Oklahoma
past UCLA, earning a trip back
to the Sooners home state for

10) will face No. 2 seed Tennes-
see (26-7) on Sunday.
Sharane Campbell added 19

WOODS
at Bay Hill to acknowledge
the fans who have seen this
act before. His eighth win
in the Arnold Palmer Invita-
tional tied a PGA Tour record
that had not been touched in
48 years.
This win had extra signi-
cance. Hes back to No. 1.
If I get healthy, I know I
can play this game at a high
level, Woods said. I know I
can be where Im contending
in every event, contending in
major championships and be-
ing consistent day in and day
out if I got healthy. That
was the rst step in the pro-
cess. Once I got there, then

A year ago, he came to Bay
Hill without having won in
more than 2 years. He left
this year having won six times
in his last 20 starts on the
PGA Tour.
Next up is the Masters,
where Woods will try to end
his ve-year drought in the
majors.
Imreally excited about the
rest of this year, Woods said.
Woods fell as low as No. 58
in the world as he coped with
the collapse of his marriage, a
loss of sponsors and injuries
to his left leg. One week after
he announced he was dating
Olympic ski champion Lind-
sey Vonn, Woods returned to
the top of golf.
three meetings this season.
Its now the second-longest
winning streak in American ma-
jor sports, behind only the Lak-
ers run. Baseballs New York
Giants won 26 straight games in
1916, the New England Patriots
took 21 consecutive NFL games
in 2003 and 2004, and the NHLs
Pittsburgh Penguins won 17
consecutive times in 1993.
For the Heat, its 27 and
counting.
This one, like so many others
lately, hardly came easily, with
Miami not putting the game
away until the second half.

hamlin has compression
fracture in lower back
The Associated Press
Denny Hamlin suffered a
compression fracture in his
lower spine during a last-lap
crash while racing for the win
against former teammate Joey
Logano, and Joe Gibbs Racing
gave no indication Monday
how long its driver could be
sidelined.
I just want to go home,
Hamlin tweeted from a hospi-
tal in Southern California. He
later posted a photo of himself
giving a thumbs-up and ap-
peared to be wearing a back
brace
The teamsaid he had what is
called an L1 compression frac-
ture; essentially, the rst verte-
bra in the lumbar section of his
spine collapsed.
Hamlin was expected to
be released from the hospital
Monday and return to North
Carolina to be evaluated by Dr.
Jerry Petty of Carolina Neuro-
surgery and Spine Associates.
NASCAR does not race this
weekend, but returns to action
April 7 at Martinsville Speed-
way, where Hamlin, who is
10th in the Sprint Cup stand-
ings, is a four-time winner.
Hamlin was airlifted from
the Fontana track after a col-
lision with Logano sent him
nearly head-on into the inside
wall in a place where Auto
Club Speedway does not have
energy-absorbing SAFER bar-
riers. There are barriers on the
inside of some of the walls, but
portions of the track between
Turns 1 and 2 and Turns 3 and
4 are not protected.
Track spokesman David Tal-
ley said Monday the SAFER
barriers are installed upon
NASCARs recommendation,
and track ofcials will wait to
see what, if anything, NASCAR
recommends after Hamlins ac-
cident.
NASCAR is reviewing the
incident and any improve-
ments that can be made, will
be made, Talley said. If NAS-
CAR feels that additional SAF-
ER Barriers are needed, then
we will absolutely make those
enhancements. SAFER barrier
recommendations are based on
past history and this is a situa-
tion we, nor NASCAR has ever
seen at this track before.
IndyCar last year returned
to Auto Club Speedway for the
rst time since 2005 and the
season nale is scheduled to be
held at the track in October.
But the issue of the SAFER
barriers and Hamlins impact
seemed to be overshadowed by
the most recent are-up in this
new feud.
Because of the recent bicker-
ing between the former team-
mates, Logano was somewhat
deant after Sundays accident.
He probably shouldnt have
done what he did last week, so
thats what he gets, Logano
said.
On Monday, Loganos car
owner said the driver was un-
aware of Hamlins condition
when he made the comment.

IN BRIEF
Bernanke touts interest rates
Chairman Ben Bernanke said Mon-
day the Federal Reserves low-inter-
est-rate policies are helping to boost
growth around the world and have cre-
ated markets for products made in de-
veloping nations.
In a speech at the London School of
Economics, Bernanke staunchly de-
fended the policies and similar stimulus
efforts by other central banks since the
2008 nancial crisis. Some critics have
argued that the low-interest-rate policies
could feed a global currency war, which
is lowering currency values to make prod-
ucts more competitive on global markets.
Bernanke said the current efforts
should support stronger trade ows by
boosting growth in major economies so
that they could buy more goods from
developing countries.
T-Mobile changing approach
T-Mobile USA, the struggling No. 4
cellphone company, is ditching plans
centered on familiar two-year contracts
in favor of selling phones on install-
ment plans.
T-Mobile is the rst major U.S. car-
rier to break from the contract model.
The company changed its website over
the weekend to begin selling the new
plans. It plans to lay out the rationale
for the change on Tuesday at an event
in New York.
T-Mobile has been losing subscribers
from its contract-based plans for more
than two years, chiey to bigger com-
petitors Verizon Wireless and AT&T.
T-Mobile has done better with contract-
less, prepaid plans, but those arent as
protable for the company.
Glucose meter recalled
Johnson & Johnson has announced
a voluntary recall for all its OneTouch
VerioIQ blood glucose meters in the
U.S. because they do not provide a
warning when a diabetics blood sugar
level is dangerously high. Instead, the
meters turn off.
The meters are made by J&Js LifeS-
can unit, which will issue a free replace-
ment meter to all patients.
The company says the meters shut
down when a patients blood sugar hits
1,024 milligrams per deciliter. Thats an
extremely high level requiring immedi-
ate medical attention.
Johnson & Johnson, based in New
Brunswick, N.J., said patients with one of
the meters should contact LifeScans cus-
tomer service at 800-717-0276 to arrange
for a replacement meter or ask questions.
The recall is J&Js latest in a string of
about three dozen since 2009.

Most banks
in Cyprus
to reopen
NICOSIA, Cyprus All banks
in Cyprus except the two larg-
est in the country are to reopen
for business today , more than a
week after they shut down to pre-
vent a drain on deposits by cus-
tomers worried they would lose
part of their savings.
The decision to reopen the
banks at 8:30 a.m. today was an-
nounced after a deal was clinched
in the early hours of Monday in
a Brussels meeting between the
17-nation eurozones nance min-
isters. Cyprus agreed to slash its
oversized banking sector and in-
ict hefty losses on large deposi-
tors in troubled banks to secure
the 10 billion euro ($13 billion)
bailout.
The deal came less than 24
hours before the European Cen-
tral Bank was to pull emergen-
cy funding for Cypriot banks,
which it gives to the Central
Bank of Cyprus to distribute.
That would have led to the
banks collapse, dragging down
the rest of the economy and po-
tentially forcing the country out
of the euro.
Several hours after the deal in
Brussels was rst announced, the
European Central Bank dropped
its threat, saying it decided not
to object to the Central Bank
of Cyprus continuing to provide
emergency credit.
As part of the reopening pro-
cess, a central bank ofcial said
Laiki, which will be restructured,
and Bank of Cyprus will remain
closed until Thursday, and a with-
drawal limit from their ATMs of
100 euros ($130) a day will also
remain in place until then.

Michael Dell may have to hike the
price hes willing to pay if he wants to
take the computer company he found-
ed private, thanks to competition from
two new acquisition offers.
A special committee of independent
Dell Inc. directors said Monday that it
will negotiate with buyout specialist
Blackstone Group and activist inves-
tor Carl Icahn over bids that rival an
offer of more than $24 billion from
CEO and Chairman Michael Dell and
Silver Lake Partners.
The committee has determined that
the bids could be superior to the pro-
posal fromDell and Silver Lake, which
amounts to $13.65 per share.
Blackstone proposed buying the
Round Rock, Texas, company in a deal
that would equate to more than $14.25
per share. Icahn wants to buy up to 58
percent of Dells shares for $15 each.
Icahn Enterprises said in a state-
ment its offer would allow sharehold-
ers that believe, like us, that the fu-
ture for Dell is bright, to continue
with the company.
The special committee said Michael
Dell is willing to work with third par-
ties on alternate acquisition proposals.
We intend to work diligently with
all three potential acquirers to ensure
the best possible outcome for Dell
shareholders, whichever transaction
that may be, said Alex Mandl, special
committee chairman, in a statement.
Thats good news for shareholders
hoping for a higher price, and Dell
Inc. shares climbed 3.3 percent, or 46
cents, to $14.60 in morning trading.
Dell and other PC makers are strug-
gling as technology spending shifts to
smartphones and tablet computers.
Dell and HP, the top PCmaker, are try-
ing to adapt by making more tablets
and diversifying into more protable
areas of technology, such as business
software, data analytics and storage.
The special committee, which is
made of four independent directors,
spent more than ve months evaluat-
ing options for Dell before deciding on
the offer from Dell and Silver Lake. It
considered changes to the companys
business plan, a change in dividend
policy and sales of all or parts of the
business.
Silver Lake raised its bid six times
by about $4 billion over the course of
negotiations.
Shares of Dell had climbed nearly 40
percent so far in 2013, as of Fridays
market close. That includes a rise
of nearly 7 percent since the shares
closed at $13.27 on Feb. 4, the day
before the Dell-Silver Lake bid was an-
nounced.
Dell to consider bids
Michael Dell, chairman and CEO of Dell Inc., pictured, said Monday a special board committee plans to nego-
tiate over new acquisition bids for the computer maker that rival an offer of more than $24 billion from an
investor group that includes founder Michael Dell.

STOCKTON, Calif. By
outward appearances, Stock-
ton, a city of nearly 300,000 on
the Sacramento-San Joaquin
River Delta, seemedinthe mid-
2000s to be emerging from de-
cades of struggle.
Next to its gleaming down-
town waterfront a window
to the Wests largest fresh-wa-
ter estuary a beautiful new
$46 million glass hockey arena
rose in 2005. That same year,
the Oakland As single-A afli-
ate Ports began play in a new
taxpayer-nanced stadium,
amenities sought by elected
ofcials catering to a wave of
new residents eeing Bay Area
congestion and home prices.
High salaries and lucrative
benets were supposed to at-
tract and retain the brightest
city workforce to improve the
quality of life for its residents.
We spent like the good times
would go on forever, said
Stockton spokeswoman Con-
nie Cochrane.
But then the recession hit,
and the good times went bust.
On Monday, the states 13th-
largest city began federal court
proceedings that could end
with it becoming the most
populous in the nation to suc-
cessfully enter Chapter 9 bank-
ruptcy, a move opposed by
those who lent the money to
keep it ush.
On its journey to this
point, the Central Valley city
has become emblematic of
both government excess and
the nancial calamity that
resulted when the nations
housing bubble burst. Its sala-
ries, benets and borrowing
were based on anticipated
long-term developer fees and
increasing property tax rev-
enue. But those were lost in a
urry of foreclosures.
After the citys population
grew by nearly 20 percent be-
tween 2000 and 2005 and real
estate tripled in value, home
prices plummeted 40 percent
the following year before bot-
toming out at 70 percent.
Within two years, Stockton
had accumulated nearly $1 bil-
lion in debt on civic improve-
ments, money owed to pay
pension contributions and the
most generous health care ben-
et in the state.
Last summer, the city began
negotiating with creditors, a
requirement before entering
Chapter 9 bankruptcy. Ten em-
ployee unions agreedtotempo-
rary wage and benets cuts.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. From
the minute Joe Brown slides into
the cockpit of an airplane, hes in
charge of protecting scores of lives.
Every decision the veteran pilot
faces is crucial. He needs to know
exactly whats going on with his
plane, whats happening in the air
and which member of his crewis in
charge of doing what.
Everything has to go smoothly
because if it doesnt, one mistake
could put all those lives each
one in Browns care at risk.
In a way, its a lot like surgery.
Like passengers on an airplane,
patients having surgery put some-
one else in charge of their safety.
And like a pilot, a surgeon and his
team must work together seam-
lessly. Everyones role has to be
clearly dened. If something goes
wrong, then a patients life like
those of the airplane passengers
is in jeopardy.
Given these similarities, it makes
sense that hospitals throughout the
region, from Bridgeport to Green-
wich and beyond, are looking to
the aviation industry and other
complicated, high-risk professions
to help them run more smoothly
and safely.
One of the most dramatic in-
stances of this is at St. Vincents
Medical Center in Bridgeport,
which hired Brown, an airline pilot
for more than 20 years, as project
manager of its new Transcatheter
Aortic Valve Replacement pro-
gram.
St. Vincents is one of the few
hospitals in the state to have
TAVR, a non-surgical heart proce-
dure that takes about 2 1/2 hours
to complete and involves up to 25
doctors, nurses and other medical
staff.

ROCKLAND, Maine Dirk Vander-
sloot has treated a generation of midcoast
residents with a homeopathic approach to
medicine.
And now those same patients are re-
turning the favor by offering their heal-
ing energy to the Rockport resident as he
deals with a cancer diagnosis.
His journey has included a trip to the
Philippines last month, where he visited
sacred locations and met with a shaman
healer.
I felt healed by the whole experience,
Vandersloot said. I understand the love
of people. Im very aware of difference be-
tween healing and cure. I dont knowhow
that happens or if it will for me. I feel I am
healing.
The physician detailed his life and jour-
ney with cancer in two public talks at the
Rockland Public Library, the latest earlier
this month.
Vandersloot graduated from Harvard
University in Cambridge, Mass., where
he focused on biology. He then graduated
from the University of California, Los An-
geles Medical School. He performed his
internship and residency at Maine Medi-
cal Center in Portland, a year working in
the emergency room at Central Maine
Medical Center in Lewiston and then held
a teaching position in family medicine at
MMC.
He began a private practice in New-
buryport, Mass., for the next eight or nine
years, where he began incorporating holis-
tic approaches to medicine.
He and his wife, Jean, looked to
move to Maine and at the same time
there was an advertisement for an
opening as a homeopathic doctor at
the Center for Health and Healing in
Rockland.
Vandersloot said when he rst arrived
he agreed to give a presentation on ho-
meopathic medicine at the Camden Con-
gregational Church on a cold, October
evening. He expected few, if any, people
would attend. Instead, there was a stand-

at Loyola University Medical Center in Chicago, Ill.
A fourth-year medical stu-
dent, Bauer will graduate
Loyola University medical
school in June. She says a
part of her drive has been a
desire to help children like

Bauer learned during

emony on Friday that she
will spend her residency at

an important step in a long
journey.

ing roomonly crowd.
He saidthe holistic approachto
health care makes sense and his
belief init is rootedinhis growing
up during the 1960s when East-
ern philosophies and new age
approaches spread in the United
States.
It was a very inspiring time.
The mind, body, spirit is all con-
nected. Its common sense, he
said.
Vandersloot has relied on both
alternative and traditional medi-
cine when his journey with can-
cer began last summer.
Last July, Vandersloot began
experiencing what he thought
were prostate symptoms. He
tried herbs and other homeo-
pathic approaches to deal with
his symptoms but got no relief.
He turned to what he termed al-
lopathic medicine mainstream
medicine to diagnose his
health concern when he got no
relief and his right ank began
hurting.
He suspected that his remain-
ing kidney was the source of
the ailment. Vandersloot had a
kidney removed when he was a
teenager. Vandersloot said he had
gained 15 pounds at a time when
he was trying to lose weight for
his daughter Julias upcoming
wedding in October.
An ultrasound showed a shad-
owon his bladder. An obstruction
in his urethra was also found and
uid had built up in his body. The
shadow was determined to be
a tumor and doctors at Eastern
Maine Medical Center in Bangor
inserteda tube anddrainedoff 14-
15 quarts of uid.
Vandersloot said he was very
grateful for allopathic medicine
and praised the skill and ef-
ciency of the doctors who treated
him.
He was just beginning recov-
ery from the procedure to drain
the uid when he received the
diagnosis he had an aggressive
formof bladder cancer.
It was obviously a shock. I
knew the implications, Vander-
sloot said.
He said his years of meditation
helped himduring this time.
I could bring peace to myself.
For me, that was a tremendous
part in the healing process, he
said.
The next challenge came when
his doctor recommended a scan
to determine whether the cancer
had spread. He said his insurance
company would not cover the
scan which would cost $4,000.
The insurance company also did
not cover any outpatient treat-
ment, including chemotherapy
that wouldcost $3,000 per day for
six sessions of three consecutive
days each.
Vandersloot said at this point,
another part of the healing began
when the love of relatives and
friends began pouring in to him.
Over the years, I gave help. I
didnt need help. I hadnt missed
a day of work in 35-40 years, he
said.
He had the scan, which deter-
mined that the cancer had not
spread. He agreed to the chemo-
therapy to give him more time
and so that he could attend his
daughters wedding.
He said he visited three differ-
ent doctors to get their recom-
mendations on what next to do.
The response of the traditional
medical community was to be ag-
gressive, Vandersloot said. In his
case, the recommendations were
to remove his bladder, prostate
and some lymph nodes.
Those procedures would have
raised his three- to ve-year sur-
vival rate from 10 percent to 50
percent, he said. But there was
also a 60 percent chance of seri-
ous complications from the sur-
geries.
Vandersloot said he realized
he needed to be whole minded
and began seeking and receiving
offers from many homeopathic
practitioners in this area.
I decided not to do surgery,
not to do radiation but to com-
pletely embrace this different,
more integrated approach to can-
cer care, Vandersloot said.
He said conventional medi-
cine tries to force a treatment to
t a diagnosis and that this force
brings unwanted side effects.
The doctor said he had never
taken supplements before but
now is taking 24 in morning,
20 at noon and 25 at night. The
mixture of supplement was or-
ganized by a biochemist in New
Hampshire. He said the supple-
ments were designed specically
for him.
He has been on the regimen
for a couple months with no side
effects, he said. The key is to re-
ceive low dosages of such treat-
ments and allow the bodys natu-
ral immune systemto respond.
Friends would also stop by and
drop off organic greens and or-
ganic drinks.
Vandersloot also turned to the
world of energy medicine. This
involves meditation, visualiza-
tions, afrmations and prayer.
Each day, the doctor uses these
methods to provide positive en-
ergy to help with his healing.
He said he also has begun Qi-
gong that involves the merging
of posture, breathing techniques
and mental focus.
Friends and relatives have giv-
en himsacred objects to meditate
and pray with, such as a paint-
ing of Archangel Raphael, who
is known as the angel of healing.
His daughter Julia sent him a
prayer card with el nino cristo
the Christ child.
The next part of his journey
came last month when he took a
trip to the Philippines.
It was the full monty, a full
experience in healers, sacred
places, with a denition of grace,
Vandersloot said. Anything is
possible under this kindof grace.
He rst stayed at a spa known
as a Sonyas Garden outside of
Manila.
He then met with Father Fer-
nando Suarez, who was to hold
a Mass the following day. Father
Juarez held a Mass that day, how-
ever, at Sonyas Garden.
He put his hand on my head.
I felt the healing of his uncondi-
tional love, Vandersloot said.
The next day Father Suarez
held a Mass before 5,000 people
and asked Vandersloot to speak.
Vandersloot next met with a
shaman known as Magic Orly in
Angeles City north of Manila.
Orly examined himand said he
felt an obstruction that had been
there for many years. Orlando
also told himhe felt he would get
a second chance.
Vandersloot, his wife and Orly
visited several sacred places
north of Manila, including the
Shrine of Our Lady of Manaoag.
Vandersloot said when he
thought the time with Magic Orly
was over, the healer got two live
cobras and sacriced them by
cutting themopen and extracting
blood and bile from its gall blad-
der.
He called it my new chemo-
therapy. I was very trusting and
surrendered to it. I drank it with
wine. It felt like good medicine,
Vandersloot said. I felt healed by
whole experience. I understand
the love of people. Imvery aware
of difference between healing and
cure. I dont know how that hap-
pens or if it will for me. I feel I am
healing.
Thetalkheldearlier this month
by the doctor in Rockland was at-
tended by a standing-room-only
crowd, with many people vocal-
izing their love for the doctor.
Vandersloot said all that effort
appears to have been successful.
He had another positron emis-
sion tomography, or PET, scan
done and received the results this
week which showed not only has
the cancer not spread but there is
no evidence of cancer in his blad-
der. He cautioned that PET scans
are not the best device for nding
cancer in the bladder but that he
is elated by the news.
CANCER
Continued from Page 1C
Brown, who is also president
of the New York-based health
consulting rm, The Salus Net-
work, said navigating TAVR
and other complicated medical
procedures is not unlike safely
piloting an airplane. Both tasks
require tremendous preparation
and coordination.
We say 95 percent of our job
is boredom, followed by ve
minutes of sheer terror, Brown
said.
The idea of modeling health
safety standards on other indus-
tries dates back at least to 1999,
when the Institute of Medicine
published its report To Err is
Human, which examined medi-
cal errors and the environmen-
tal factors that can cause them.
Part of the report compared the
health care industry to other
high-risk industries, including
manufacturing and defense.
On the latter score, the report
focused on U.S. Navy aircraft
carriers, and how, on the ight
deck of a carrier, 100 to 200 peo-
ple fuel and maintain aircraft
that take off and are recovered
at 48- to 60-second intervals.
Even with all the variables
involved in this complicated in-
dustry, workers have developed
general plans and protocols that
can be adapted to t a given
weather condition, visibility
issue or other challenges that
might arise. The report theo-
rized that the health industry,
where workers also have to of-
ten shift gears because of chang-
ing conditions, might benet
from similar plans.
Since that report came out,
a number of techniques from
the aviation industry have been
used at hospitals throughout
the country.
Some techniques are already
used by plenty of people whose
jobs dont involve cutting some-
one open, or takeoffs and land-
ings. For instance, when you
use words to stand for letters
when youre spelling something
such as B as in boy or A
as in apple thats an aviation
technique.
In recent years, improving
hospital safety has become
a huge concern nationwide.
Professionals look to prevent
deaths from medical errors,
which according to several stud-
ies, amount to between 44,000
and 98,000 lives each year.
On a state level, the Con-
necticut Hospital Association
has made reducing errors a pri-
ority, said Mary Cooper, CHAs
chief quality ofcer. Last year,
the association contracted with
Healthcare Performance Im-
provement to help the states
hospitals improve their safety
standards.
HPI is a Virginia-based organi-
zation whose members include
those from the health care in-
dustry as well as other high-risk
industries, including aviation
and nuclear power. HPI has led
to safety improvement initia-
tives in 200 health care organi-
zation across the country.
HPI has done a variety of
training sessions with staff at
area hospitals, Cooper said, add-
ing that the associations ulti-
mate goal is to instill a culture
of high-reliability at the states
health care facilities.
That doesnt happen over-
night, Cooper said.
However, many Connecticut
hospitals have already adopted
practices modeled on high-risk
professions.
For instance, Stamford Hos-
pital works with the Tennessee-
based LifeWings, another agen-
cy that puts together the best
practices of aviation and similar
industries and applies them to
health care. The program heav-
ily emphasizes crew resource
management, which is basically
getting all the members of a
health care team to communi-
cate and work together uidly.
Other aviation techniques in-
stituted by local hospitals include
the idea of a pre-ight checklist,
in which a ight crewmakes sure
all of the essentials are in place
before taxiing and takeoff.
Its all about getting it right
and patient safety, he said.

telling her parents that their
rst-born child had spina bi-
da.
Spina bida which means
split spine is a defect that
can cause neurological dis-
orders and affects the body,
sometimes leaving people par-
alyzed or restrained to wheel-
chairs and braces. It affects
166,000 people in the U.S., ac-
cording to the Spina Bida As-
sociation.
McLone explained the unfa-
miliar term by drawing a spinal
cord with a lump on the imsy
piece of white paper that cov-
ered the exam table. Bauers
mother, Susan, still has that
sheet.
I was scared out of my mind.
I had no idea what this meant,
no idea what to expect, says
her mother, 55. I thought, Is
my daughter going to walk?
But Bauer, of Buffalo Grove,
Ill., was lucky in one sense
she had a milder form of the
disorder, and McLone had pre-
viously operated on at least 50
others with the same kind of
spina bida.
He knew the little green-eyed
girl had every chance of leading
a normal life if he removed the
scar tissue wrapped around her
spinal cord. So she underwent
surgery at 5 weeks old and grew
up like any regular kid, playing
basketball, volleyball and soft-
ball.
Then, around the time Bauer
turned 12, she started walking
differently. She tripped over
her left foot and dragged it, her
mother said.
Other problems popped up,
too. She once stepped on a
piece of glass in the kitchen,
but didnt feel the sharp shard
in her foot. Another time, she
broke her big toe, but only no-
ticed it when it turned black
and blue.
McLone and other doctors
broke the news that Bauer need-
ed another surgery, which could
risk making things worse. A ner-
vous Bauer peppered them with
questions.
She was very upset. She
cried. Who would want to look
forward to surgery? her mother
says.
After the second operation,
doctors had Bauer lie flat
on her stomach for five days
and instructed her to stay at
home for two weeks. Then
13, she discovered she could
no longer run or compete like
she once did. Her athletic ca-
reer dwindled. I just tried to
find something else to do,
she says.
A third surgery to fix her
foot in high school helped her
walk better, but also meant
she had to wear a big, green
plastic cast below the knee
and then a white brace for six
months.
In college, when classes were
held on the other end of the
University of Illinois at Urbana-
Champaign campus, Bauer re-
lied on the bus. She knew the
schedule by heart. If she and
friends stood for a long time,
she sometimes sat down and
took a break.
On days when the disorder
reared its ugly head, a young
Bauer sometimes cried and
blamed her spina bida. Her
mother gave her a few minutes
to let the tears ow.
I always acknowledged
that its OK to cry, it really is
OK to cry, but you cant let it
stop you, her mother says.
Youve got those couple of
minutes to feel sorry for your-
self, and then youve got to
move on.
Science specically biol-
ogy became a passion when
she could no longer play sports.
Part of her curiosity stemmed
from her own experiences. Doc-
tors like McLone also had a big
inuence.
Once a year, Bauer made an
all-day visit to the spina bida
clinic at Childrens Memorial
Hospital, now Ann & Robert H.
Lurie Childrens Hospital of Chi-
cago. The clinic is now on Clark
Street.
When she looked around the
waiting room, she saw other
children diagnosed with spina
bida who needed help walk-
ing. Often, she was the only one
could stand on her own. She
wondered: How did she get so
lucky?
Inside the exam room, some
of her doctors were all busi-
ness, rattling off a list of ques-
tions to her parents, hardly
stopping to look at the little
girl in front of them. Others
looked Bauer directly in the
eyes as they thoughtfully ad-
dressed her questions. That
interaction made her feel im-
portant.
A molecular and cellular
biology major, Bauer initially
hesitated about applying to
medical school, thinking her
physical health might regress
again. But then she talked to
McLone, who pointed to a
woman with spina bida who
chairs the University of Michi-
gans Department of Neurosur-
gery.
That gave me some good
encouragement, she says. He
denitely showed me that that
was not a good reason to not
pursue medicine.
Since starting medical school,
Bauer has twice shadowed
McLone, 75, in the spina bida
clinic. He says the future doc-
tor is a role model for children
with disabilities and can easily
relate to them because of her
background.
Im very proud of her, says
McLone. She did this on her
own. I had very little to do with
the fact that she stuck to it.
Shortly after Fridays cer-
emony, Bauer hugged her boy-
friend, who will be working at
the same Milwaukee hospital.
Her family stood by as her
mother struggled to hold in
tears.
Could I have ever dreamed
this? No, her mother says, re-
calling the ups and downs of the
last 26 years. My daughter. The
doctor.

Feb. 22 Narcotics
should not be prescribed
for migraine headaches,
annual electrocardiograms
are a no-no for low-risk
patients, and cough and
cold medications should
never be given to children
younger than 4, doctors
announced.
Physicians from 17 lead-
ing specialty organiza-
tions produced lists with
90 tests, treatments and
procedures that patients
really dont need.
Were hoping that on
the physician side this will
produce better care, and
on the patient side, we
hope they understand that
more is not always better,
said Dr. Daniel Wolfson,
executive vice president
of the American Board of
Internal Medicine Founda-
tion, co-sponsor of a cam-
paign to limit unnecessary
medical care.
The American Acad-
emy of Neurology warned
against prescribing nar-
cotic medications to treat
migraines.
Many of the medical
organizations cited the
overuse of antibiotics.
The American Academy
of Ophthalmology, for
instance, warned against
prescribing them for pink
eye.
Doctors questioned some
recommendations, such as
the American Academy of
Pediatrics saying not to use
CT scans for minor child-
hood head injuries. Thats
a double-edged sword,
said Dr. Elizabeth Trinidad
of Neurological Surgery
P.C., with ofces in Nassau
and Suffolk.

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: Rita
and I have been to-
gether three years
and are getting ready
to make the final
commitment of mar-
riage. My problem is
that shes a slob. Rita
isnt a hoarder, but she does things
like take the plastic off a package and
drop it on the floor. (Dont get me
started on the mess she leaves in the
bathroom.)
I love her and would be willing
to have separate bathrooms if thats
what it takes. But I dont want to
spend the rest of my life in a house
that looks the way hers does right
now. The thought of raising kids in
that kind of atmosphere chills me.
Im no neat freak, but at least I put
my trash in the wastebasket. Rita gets
offended if I raise the issue. I have
offered to help her clean her house,
but I dont want to nag because her
mother already does, and it makes
Rita respond like a defiant child.
Have you any ideas about what I
can do to keep our relationship
and hopefully our future intact?
Whatever Rita Wants
Dear Whatever: It appears your
girlfriend wants to continue living
exactly the way she is. Because she
becomes defensive at the suggestion
that she make a better effort, accept
that you are not going to change her.
She obviously has many good quali-
ties or your relationship would not
have made it this far.
There is help for people who are
disorganized and sloppy, but only if
they are willing to accept that they
need it. Some people have success-
fully used a system originated by
Marla Cilley, aka the FlyLady. (Fly
stands for Finally Loving Yourself.)
To find out more about her system,
visit www.flylady.net and click on
Get Started.
Dear Abby: Im stuck in a dead-end
job that doesnt pay much money, so I
have to rely on help from my parents.
Id like to return to school for my
masters, but a lack of funds and mild
depression keep pulling me back.
I told my mother about how I have
been feeling, hoping for reassurance
just a general, Everything is go-
ing to get better. This is a woman
who has longed for me to get married
and have children, which I thought
was no different than most mothers. I
now realize I was wrong. Her motiva-
tion speech was: You have always
been beautiful and I want you to see
it. Dont you know that youre good
enough to become a rich mans wife?
Now I realize that being a rich
mans wife is what she always wanted
for me. I always thought I could be
more than that and support myself
without the need of a man. I also be-
lieved I could one day be a writer.
Independence has always been
important to me, and I would never
marry unless I was. Now, however,
my self-esteem is shot, and since I
cant afford therapy, I feel my moth-
ers plan is probably the only thing I
can hope for. How can I improve my
self-esteem so I can make the right
decision?
Depressed in Lewisville, Texas
Dear Depressed: A good first step
would be to stop listening to your
mother. Live your own life, and now
that you know what poor judgment
she has, make your own decisions
about the path you will follow.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Man hesitates before making marriage commitment to messy woman
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). Some
wont want to poke around too
much, believing its better to
leave well enough alone. But
youre in the mood to stir things
up. You want to know whether
well enough could actually
turn into awesome.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Reach
out to an unlikely candidate, and
youll likely make an interesting
connection and possibly have a
brilliant conversation, too. Its all
part of your plan to master the
art of living.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You
prefer not to take sides when
you dont have to. Just because
youre diplomatic doesnt mean
youre duplicitous. Neutrality is
possible.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). There
are hurting people in your midst.
You want to make another per-
son feel better, but you dont
know how. Your kind intentions
will be felt.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Sometimes
strangers meeting for the first
time will act like people they are
not. Thats why anyone meeting
you for the first time today will
be in for a refreshing change.
You give it straight.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You have
everything you need to succeed
today. You are intelligent and
well versed in the ways of the
world. Power and money are not
the aim; they are just a couple of
the bartering tools youll use.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The tim-
ing of events that do not come
off as planned will be perfect
nonetheless. A moment sooner
or later would have produced
entirely different results.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You
may think that what youre
doing with the afternoon hours
is insignificant, but if you didnt
do it, there would be unforesee-
able losses. We depend on one
another.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
When youre among people who
are trying to act cool, the best
gift you could give is a foolish
gesture to break the ice and
bring everyone back to their
humanity.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
When youre not in the mood to
give, dont give. Only that which
you do freely will make a differ-
ence today. Better to do nothing
and consolidate your powers
than to waste your efforts by
scattering them to the wind.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). To
move forward with a relation-
ship, misunderstandings need
to be cleared up first. Youll do a
brave thing: ask for candid feed-
back and calmly hear it.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Many
are jumping on a bandwagon
thats headed for a dead end or
possibly a cliff. Be discerning.
Ask a lot of questions. Those
who dont want to answer ques-
tions are hiding something.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (March 26).
There are many kinds of travel.
The next 10 weeks see you trav-
eling with your emotions, going
a great distance to bridge gaps
between people. May features
friends, parties and new connec-
tions. Youll find financing for a
dream in July. Libra and Scorpio
people adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 45, 25, 49, 31
and 15.
