>> POLL DANCING: Ahhh, presidential primary season.

You can just smell the voting in the air. Next up is a bat-
tleground state best known as home to a magical world
where large-headed costumed characters greet the public.
And thats just at any campaign stop. Florida, the land of the
hanging chad, will put its two cents into the election proc-
ess this Tuesday. No word yet on whom Donald Duck is
endorsing.
>> OUR FILL OF PHIL: When Punxsutawney Phil does
his unique brand of prognosticating this Thursday, its pretty
much an easy call as to what hes going to come up with. Six
MORE weeks of winter? How about ONE week of winter? An
unusually mild and snowless season has gladdened the
hearts of drivers and shovelers everywhere. But its also
taken all the drama out of Groundhog Day. Maybe Phil can
forget about forecasting and just predict the
Super Bowl winner.
>> CHEW-CHEWTRAIN: From the
time the first caveman teacher made
little Grulock Thagson spit out the first
wad of gum, chewing the stuff in the
classroom has been a big no-no. But
this Friday, kids everywhere can
actually score points by chomping
down on a few hunks of Bazooka.
Its Bubble Gum Day, and in
participating schools make
sure your school knows about it
first before you overdose on
Chiclets -- a 50-cent donation to
charity earns you the right to chew until the cows come
home. (Or at least call and say why theyll be late.)
>> WILD ABOUT HARRY: When last we saw actor
Daniel Radcliffe, he was kicking the evil Lord Voldemort
straight in the Horcrux. This week, Harry Potter himself
faces his biggest challenge since undergoing puberty
at Hogwarts: Finding success as a non-wizard in
Hollywood. His first attempt, the gothic horror
flick The Woman in Black, opens this Friday. If
its a hit, hes fine. If not, hell be begging au-
thor J.K. Rowling to crank out seven more
Potter books.
>> THE BIG BOWL: Super Bowl week al-
ways brings with it a saturation of hype and media
overkill. Will the Patriots get revenge for Super Bowl
XLII? Will Eli Manning shine brighter than his big
brother? Will Tom Brady win his 4th ring? Will Rob
Gronkowskis foot fall off? Why are there so many
questions? Do you want answers? Youll get them
next Sunday night about 6:30ish on NBC.

WILKES-BARRE At Thursday
mornings Mass in St. Nicholas Church,
the distinctive sound of a childrens
choir floated through the lofty arches of
the high ceiling.
What do you want of me, Lord?
Where do you want me to serve you?
Where can I sing your praises? I am
your song. Jesus, Jesus, you are the
Lord. Jesus, Jesus, you are the way.
I love that they go to Mass, Mary
Ruth Burke said as the ceremony con-
cluded and students filed out the doors
and over to neighboring St. Nicholas/
St. Mary School, where this weekly
Mass is part of the curriculum. I love
that they have service projects to help
the less fortunate, Burke, 50, contin-
ued. Her daughters Roisin and Aiofe are
enrolled here.
Its like a big family, she said.
Common sentiment
Its a common even constant
sentiment among supporters of Roman
Catholic schools. Its like a big family,
Tara Sterling of Hanover Township
echoed after the Mass.
If we have a problem, the teachers
know us, said student Jillian Kwak, 13,
of Dallas. And they know our person-
alities, so they know how to help us
better.
The halls of nearby Holy Redeemer
High School reverberate with similar
statements.
This is a really nice environment,

BEIRUT Syrian tanks and
troops moved Sunday to crush
resistance in the rebellious sub-
urbs of Damascus, opposition
groups reported, bringing the
bloody battle that has ravaged
the nation for months to the
doorsteps of the nations capital.
The fierce fighting reported
outside Damascus was the latest
sign that Syrias armed insurgen-
cy long concentrated in pro-
vincial hotbeds of revolt such as
Homs, Hama and Dara has
nowreached the edge of the city
fromwhere the Assad family has
ruled Syria in autocratic fashion
for more than 40 years. That
reign nowappears threatened as
never before, raising the pros-
pect of a revamped geopolitical
alignment in the heart of the vol-
atile Middle East.
More than 250 people have
been killed in clashes nation-
wide since Thursday, according
to the Local Coordination Com-
mittees, an opposition coalition.
The group reported at least 64
deaths on Sunday alone.
The upsurge in violence near
Damascus and elsewhere comes
as leaders of the Arab League, a

Spencer, a veteranactress who
hadtoiledinsmall TVandmovie
parts previously, had a breakout
role in The Help as a brassy
maid whose mouth continually
gets her in trouble.
Im going to dedicate this to
the downtrodden, the under-
served, the underprivileged,
overtaxed whether emotion-
ally, physically or financially,
Spencer said.
On the television side, come-
dy series awards went to Mod-
ern Family for best ensemble;
Alec Baldwin as best actor for
30 Rock; and Betty White as
best actress for Hot in Cleve-
land.
You cant name me, without
naming those other wonderful
women on Hot in Cleveland,
the 90-year-oldWhite said. This
nominationbelongs tofour of us.
LOS ANGELES The Deep
South drama The Help won
three prizes Sunday at the
Screen Actors Guild Awards, in-
cluding best actress for Viola Da-
vis and supporting actress for
Octavia Spencer.
The Help also claimed the
guilds ensemble award, the
shows equivalent of a best-pic-
ture prize.
Davis and Spencer won as
black maids going public with
uneasy truths about their white
employers in 1960s Mississippi.
JeanDujardinwonthe lead-ac-
tor honor for The Artist as a si-
lent-film superstar whose career
crumbles when the sound era ar-
rives. Christopher Plummer
won for supporting actor as an
elderly dad who comes out as
gay in Beginners.
The wins boost the actors pro-
spects for the same honors at the
Feb. 26 Academy Awards.
Plummer would become the
oldest actor ever to win an Oscar
at age 82, two years older than
Jessica Tandy when she won
best actress for Driving Miss
Daisy.
Backstage, Plummer joked
about whether he would like to
winanOscar, anhonor soelusive
during his esteemed 60-year ca-
reer that he did not even receive
his first Academy Award nomi-
nation until two years ago, for
The Last Station.
No, I think its frightfully bor-
ing, Plummer said. Thats an
awful question. Listen, we dont
go into this business preoccu-
pied by awards. If we did, we
wouldnt last five minutes.
Please, please know that Im
dealing them right in with this.
Im not going to let them keep
this, but Ill let them see it.
The TV drama show winners
were: Jessica Lange as best ac-
tress for American Horror Sto-
ry; and Steve Buscemi as best
actor for Boardwalk Empire,
which also won the ensemble
prize.
For TV movie or miniseries,
Kate Winslet won as best actress
for Mildred Pierce, while Paul
Giamatti was named best actor
for Too Big to Fail.
Before the official ceremony,
the Screen Actors Guild present-
ed its honor for best film stunt
ensemble to Harry Potter and
the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.
The TV stunt award went to
Game of Thrones.
The winners at the SAG cere-
mony typically go on to earn Os-
cars. All four acting recipients at
SAG last year later took home
Oscars Colin Firth for The
Kings Speech, Natalie Portman
for Black Swan and Christian
Bale and Melissa Leo for The
Fighter.
The same generally holds true
for the weekends other big Hol-
lywood honors, the Directors
Guild of America Awards, where
Michel Hazanavicius won the
feature-film prize Saturday for
The Artist. The Directors
Guildwinner has goneontoearn
the best-director Oscar 57 times
in the 63-year history of the
unions awards show.
The guilds ensemble prize,
considered the ceremonys
equivalent of a best-picture hon-
or, has a spotty record at predict-
ing the top award at the Oscars.

POLICE BLOTTER
LOS ANGELES Every year
the story is the same: Sundance
satisfies and disappoints in equal
measure, depending on how you
look at it.
It disappoints becausethespir-
it of this film festival is uncom-
promisingly messianic, deter-
mined to persuade you that each
and every film it shows is a won-
der of the age. Maybe, but maybe
not.
That passion extends to the
proliferation of awards, which in
this years Saturday night cere-
mony in Park City, Utah, threat-
ened to reach astronomical pro-
portions. Twenty-eight were
handed out that night, not to
mention the previously an-
nounced Alfred P. Sloan prize for
science and seven awards for
shorts. Its not like everybody
wins, but it feels that way.
The inevitable reaction to all
this exuberance is more often
thannot toshrugandfeel slightly
let down. Though it is uninten-
tional, the point the festival ends
up making is how great the dis-
tance is between an acceptable
filmand one that completely sat-
isfies.
But on the other hand, Sun-
dance boosterism notwithstand-
ing, it is surely unrealistic to ex-
pect that all of the roughly 200
features and shorts put on view
every year are going to be memo-
rable. What is surprising is not
only how many do succeed, but
howwide a swathof the cinemat-
ic spectrum they cover.
For in an age when the studio
systemis narrowing its focus and
ignoring the adult audience
whenever possible, the range of
Sundance films has gotten wider
and wider. The festival may have
startedas a tiny wedge of the mo-
vie world, but nowits a universe
in and of itself, and one that is so
attractive to so many people that
the Park Record newspaper re-
ported that the event generated
nearly $71 million in economic
impact in 2011.
Though there were too many
of them, a look at the ways the
Sundance awards were distrib-
uted points this out, with prizes
going to films that had very little
in common except for the fact
that Park City is where they all
ended up.
On the one hand you have
Benh Zeitlins "Beasts of the
Southern Wild," a vibrant, phan-
tasmagorical piece of work about
a 6-year-old girl in a remote Loui-
siana bayou that is both wonder-
fully strange and strangely won-
derful. It is also such a classic
high art festival film that every-
one predicted it would win the
U.S. drama grand jury prize, and,
for once, everyone was right.
At the other end of the spec-
trum is "Middle of Nowhere,"
winner of the U.S. drama direct-
ing prize for Ava DuVernay. This
is classic filmmaking of a com-
pletely different sort, a satisfying
taste of old-school social realism
that focuses on real people with
recognizable emotions in its sto-
ry of what happens to a wife
when her husband is put behind
bars.
Also notable in an old-school
way, though it didnt win any-
thing, is "ShadowDancer," a dra-
ma about the troubles in Ireland
directed by James Marsh, best
known for the documentaries
"Man on Wire" and "Project
Nim." With his eye for what
makes a good story, Marsh craft-
ed a convincing drama that gen-
erates considerable tension.
Somewhere between these
two poles are a pair of charming-
ly quirky, offbeat prize-winners
with a science fiction bent. The
Frank Langella-starring "Robot
and Frank" took a share of that
AlfredP. Sloanprize, while "Safe-
tyNot Guaranteed" wonthepres-
tigious Waldo Salt Screenwriting
Award for Derek Connolly.
Sundance also found room in
its heart for the festivals unapol-
ogetic crowd-pleasers, under-
standable winners of the audi-
ence award in their respective di-
visions.
A sense of wonder wins at Sundance festival
The proliferation of awards

NEW YORK Beware the
Liamin Winter.
Liam Neesons The Grey
topped the weekend box office
with $20 million, according to
studio estimates Sunday, contin-
uing the actors success as an ac-
tion star in the winter months.
TheAlaskansurvivalist thriller
opened above expectations with
a performance on par with previ-
ous Neeson thrillers Taken and
Unknown. Thosefilms, bothJa-
nuary-February releases, opened
with $24.7 million and $21.9 mil-
lion, respectively.
But the R-rated The Grey,
whichhas receivedgoodreviews,
drove home the strong appeal of
Neeson, actionstar. Its anunlike-
ly turn for the 59-year-old Nee-
son, previously better known for
his dramatic performances, like
those in Schindlers List and
Kinsey.
Liamis a true movie star, peri-
od, said TomOrtenberg, CEOof
Open Road Films. Its the second
release for the newly formed dis-
tributor, created by theater
chains AMC and Regal.
January is often a dumping
ground for less-stellar releases, a
tradition held up by two badly re-
viewed new wide releases: Man
on Ledge, with Sam Worthing-
ton, and One for the Money
with Katherine Heigl.
One for the Money fared bet-
ter, earning $11.8 million, while
Man on Ledge opened with
$8.3 million.
Last weeks box-office leader,
Underworld: Awakenings, So-
nys Screen Gems latest install-
ment in its vampire series, came
in second with $12.5 million,
bringing its cumulative total to
$45.1 million.
The box office was up about 15
percent on the corresponding
weekend last year.
So far, every weekend this year
has beenanup weekend, after a
somewhat dismal fourth quarter
in 2011.

Boback supports child bill
State Rep. Karen Boback, R-Har-
veys Lake, supported legislation
establishing a mandatory minimum
sentence of 13 years in a state prison
for a person convicted of third-de-
gree murder when the victim is less
than 13 years old.
House Bill 601, sponsored by U.S.
Rep. Kevin Murphy, D-Scranton,
amends the judicial code to add the
mandatory minimum. It next goes to
the state Senate for consideration.
Boback said mandatory minimum
sentences exist for aggravated as-
sault and sexual assault of a child.
Under our current law, a child
murderer could receive less jail time
than a child molester, said Boback.
I applaud representative Murphy
and all my colleagues who supported
this legislation for acting to protect
those who cannot protect them-
selves.

Chiefs striking up some funds

WILKES-BARRE -- Look, its Wil-
bur!
A crowd of children and parents
gatheredaroundthe pink pig Sunday
on Public Square, though Wilbur it
was not. Instead, the pig belonged to
The Lands at Hillside Farms and was
part of a mini farm the organization
set up outside the F.M. Kirby Center
to coincide with its stage showing of
Charlottes Web.
The 8-week-old piglet is actually
named Mr. Fezziwig, and he wasnt
the only animal on hand. Hillside al-
so brought two Babydoll sheep
namedCara andEarl, a cowthat goes
by Precocious, an alpine goat named
Heather and some chickens.
Though the wind whipped
through Public Square for the better
part of the afternoon, it did nothing
to deter the families who were at-
tending the 2 p.m. show. Many made
sure to stop by and see the animals
before watching the one-hour play,
which did not include live animals
but actors in animal costume in-
stead.
Charlottes Web is the tale first
told through E.B. Whites award-win-
ning childrens novel about a pig
named Wilbur and his friendship
with a spider named Charlotte, who
saves himfromslaughter. It was later
adapted into both an animated fea-
ture and live-action film.
The cast of characters is made
largely of farm animals, all of which
were represented through the group
of creatures Hillside brought.
They look like big marshmal-
lows, Elizabeth Czerniakowski, 10,
of Exeter, saidof thesheep. After hav-
ing a chance to pet them, she likened
them to something else. Actually,
they feel like carpets.
Makenzie Switzer, 8, was on her
waytosee the playafter checkingout
the animals with her mom, Jackie,
both of West Pittston. Switzer al-
ready had an idea of what the actors
she was about to see were going
through, as she was a part of the pro-
duction of Charlottes Web that the
Dance Theater of Wilkes-Barre re-
cently put on.
Suzanne Kelly, of Hillside, was ex-
cited by the crowd turnout.
We always love the opportunity to
partner with a fellownon-profit orga-
nization like this, she said. When
we read that the Kirby was hosting
Charlottes Web, we felt that it was
really in line with what were all
about, too. Not only can the kids
come out and see the animals, they
can learn a little something as well.
We wanted to recreate Char-
lottes Web, but without the spider,
she laughed. Unfortunately, we just
couldnt get one here.
Animals from the Lands at Hillside Farms turn up on square
to coincide with Charlottes Web performance

WILKES-BARRE TWP. -- A benefit for 7-year-
old Lila Chernavage of Wilkes-Barre Township
will raise funds to help a child whose life is con-
sumed by a neurological disorder that causes
nearly 30 seizures a day.
Lilas episodes are brought on by a congenital
birth defect in her right
temporal lobe, the portion
of the brain that controls
important functions in-
cluding memory. Seizures
occur when normal brain
functions are interrupted
by the sudden burst of ir-
regular electrical signals.
They can last anywhere
from a few seconds to sev-
eral minutes.
Lila experiences multi-
pleseizuresthroughout the
day, including up to five
grand mal seizures in
which she loses conscious-
ness and shakes violently
for several minutes. During
smaller seizures, sheiscon-
sciousbut unabletohear or
respond.
Lila also suffers from se-
vere short-term memory
loss.
Shell have a seizure
right in front of me, fall asleep and then wake up
not rememberingwhat happened, saidher moth-
er, Judy.
After unsuccessful attempts at treatment
through prescription medication, a neurologist at
the Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia suggested
resectionsurgerytoremovethebraintissuethat is
causing Lilas seizures.
Although specialists give Lila an 80 percent
chance at success, the surgery is complex and re-
sults dont always occur immediately.
Its also very expensive.

life after she nearly drowned during a seizure in

Thousands of toys collected
by the U.S. Marine Corps and
awaiting new homes will be
moving to a newhome of their
own soon.
Mericle Commercial Real
Estate Services has been al-
lowing the Toys for Tots pro-
gram to store the toys for free
in a building at the Center-
Point Commerce and Trade
Park until Wednesday.
Thats when the more than
8,000toys were tobe out of the
building because a tenant was
moving in.
But late last week Mericle
extended the offer, permitting
the toys to stay put until the
company canlocate newspace
to warehouse them. The toys
are leftovers from the non-
profit organizations Christ-
mas distribution and dona-
tions received after the holi-
days.
Mericle spokesman Jim
Cummings said the company
is reviewing its portfolio and
expects to have a suitable
space soon for the toys.
We will allow them to stay
where they are until we are
able to transition them into
the new space, he said Sun-
day. They will be allowed to
occupy the new space year
round at no charge.
As the first-of-the-month
deadline approached, Gun-
nery Sgt. Dennis Jones wor-
ried about storing the toys
from the 1,400-square-foot
warehouse in the business
park. He made a public appeal
for help last Thursday, saying,
We dont have the money to
spend on rented facilities.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA.
5 dead after robbery call
P
olice found five people dead inside
a Birmingham home when they
arrived early Sunday morning to in-
vestigate a possible robbery, author-
ities said.
Birmingham Police Sgt. Johnny
Williams said officers arrived at the
house around 3:30 a.m. Sunday after
getting a call that a robbery was in
progress and soon discovered the five
victims. He told reporters that investi-
gators are interviewing potential wit-
nesses but so far have made no arrests.
The victims were not immediately
identified, nor was the cause of death
released. Birmingham authorities
launched a homicide investigation and
police believe more than one person
was involved in the crime.
LAHORE, PAKISTAN
U.S.: Doc aided Osama hunt
A senior American official has for the
first time admitted a Pakistani doctor
played a key role in tracking Osama bin
Laden to his hideout in northern Pakis-
tan, and called for his release.
The comments by U.S. Defense Sec-
retary Leon Panetta were the first pub-
lic confirmation about how the CIA
used Shakil Afridi to try to establish
whether the al-Qaida leader was really
living in a large house in Abbottabad,
northern Pakistan.
Afridi has been in Pakistani custody
since the countrys own spy agency,
Inter Services Intelligence, learned of
the secret task by the doctor, who set
up a fake vaccination program in Ab-
bottabad to get DNA samples from
those at the compound.
Panetta, in an interview to be broad-
cast on CBSs 60 Minutes Sunday
night, voiced his belief that elements in
Pakistan must have known that bin
Laden, or at least someone significant,
was present inside the compound.
GIGLIO, ITALY
Capsized ship shifts again
The cruise ship that capsized off
Italys coast will take up to 10 months
to remove, officials said Sunday, as
rough seas off the Tuscan coast forced
the suspension of recovery operations.
Officials called off both the start of
operations to remove 500,000 gallons
of fuel and the search for people still
missing after determining the Costa
Concordia had moved an inch and a
half over six hours, coupled with waves
of more than 3 feet.
A17th body, identified as Peruvian
crew member Erika Soria Molina, was
found Saturday. Sixteen crew and pas-
sengers remain listed as missing, with
one body recovered from the ship not
yet identified.
RAMALLAH, WEST BANK
Mideast talks at standoff
The Israeli and Palestinian leaders
on Sunday blamed each other for the
impasse in newly launched peace ef-
forts, raising doubts about whether the
dialogue would continue just weeks
after it began.
Palestinian President Mahmoud
Abbas accused Israel of spoiling the
low-level talks, saying it failed to pre-
sent detailed proposals for borders and
security requested by international
mediators. Israeli Prime Minister Ben-
jamin Netanyahu said the Palestinians
refused to even discuss Israeli securi-
ty needs.
For the past month, the sides have
held Jordanian-mediated exploratory
talks at the urging of the Quartet of
international Mideast mediators the
U.S., U.N., E.U. and Russia.

OAKLAND, Calif. Oak-
land officials assessed damage
to City Hall caused by Occupy
protesters while leaders of the
movement claimed Sunday
that police acted illegally in ar-
resting hundreds of demonstra-
tors and could face a lawsuit.
Mayor JeanQuanwas among
those inspecting damage
caused after dozens of people
broke into City Hall on Satur-
day, smashing glass display
cases, spray-painting graffiti,
and burning an American flag.
That break-in culminated a
day of clashes between protes-
ters and police. Interim Police
Chief Howard Jordan said near-
ly 400 people were arrested on
charges ranging from failure to
disperse and vandalism. At
least three officers and one pro-
tester were injured.
In a news release Sunday, the
Occupy Oakland Media Com-
mittee criticizedthe police con-
duct, saying that most of the ar-
rests were made illegally be-
cause police failed to allowpro-
testers to disperse.
Contrary to their own poli-
cy, the OPD gave no option of
leaving or instruction on how
to depart. These arrests are
completely illegal, and this will
probably result in another class
actionlawsuit against the OPD,
who have already cost Oakland
$58 million in lawsuits over the
past 10 years, the release said.
The scene around City Hall
was mostly quiet Sunday morn-
ing, and it was unclear whether
protesters would mount anoth-
er large-scale demonstration.
Dozens of officers remained
present inside and outside City
Hall after maintaining guard
overnight. Occupy Oakland
demonstrators broke into the
historic building and burned a
U.S. flag, as officers earlier fired
tear gas to disperse people
throwing rocks and tearing
down fencing at a convention
center.
They were never able to oc-
cupy a building outside of City
Hall, Jordan said Sunday. We
suspect theywill trytogotothe
convention center again. They
will get not get in
Saturdays protests the
most turbulent since Oakland
police forcefully dismantled an
Occupy encampment in No-
vember came just days after
the group said it planned to use
a vacant building as a social
center.

WASHINGTON Aware that
most Americans would like to
dump them all, members of Con-
gress hope to regain some sense of
trust by subjecting themselves to
tougher penalties for insider trad-
ing and requiring they disclose
stock transactions within 30 days.
A procedural vote today would
allowthe Senate later this week to
pass a bill prohibiting members of
Congress from using nonpublic in-
formation for their own personal
benefit or tipping others toinside
information that
they could trade
on.
Insider trad-
inglawsapplyto
all Americans,
but CBS 60
Minutes in No-
vember said
members of
Congress get a
pass, citing in-
vestment trans-
actions by party
leaders and a
committee
chairmaninbusinesses about to be
affected by pending legislation.
The broadcast report raised
questions about trades of House
Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio; the
husband of Democratic leader and
formerSpeakerNancyPelosi of Cal-
ifornia; and Rep. Spencer Bachus,
R-Ala., chairman of the House Fi-
nancial Services Committee.
All three denied using any in-
sider information to make stock
trades.
A recent Wall Street Journal/
NBCNews poll of registeredvoters
found 56 percent of them favor re-
placing the entire 535-member
Congress.
HouseMajorityLeaderEricCan-
tor, R-Va., said hes working on an
expandedbill thatwouldgobeyond
stocktransactionsandbanlawmak-
ersfrommakinglanddealsandoth-
er investments based on what they
learned as members of Congress.
The Senate version of the Stop
Trading on Congressional Knowl-
edge (STOCK) Act would subject
any member of Congress who vio-
lates the ban on insider trading to
investigation and prosecution by
regulatory agencies andthe Justice
Department. We can start restor-

common sense step of making
members of Congress play by the

GAINESVILLE, Fla. A long line of
cars andtrucks collidedone after another
early Sunday on a dark Florida highway
so shrouded in haze and smoke that driv-
ers werevirtuallyblinded. At least10peo-
ple were killed.
Visibility was so poor that when res-
cuers first arrived, they could only listen
for screams and moans to locate victims,
police said. At least 18 people were hurt.
Authorities were trying to determine
what caused the pileup south of Gaines-
ville on Interstate 75, which had been
closed for a time because of the mixture
of fog and heavy smoke from a brush fire
that may have been intentionally set. At
least five cars andsixtractor-trailers were
involved, and some burst into flame.
Photographs of the scene revealed a
gruesome aftermath, with twisted,
burned-out vehicles scattered across the
pavement and smoke still rising above
the wreckage. Cars appeared to have
smashed into the big rigs and, in one
case, a motor home. Some cars were
crushed beneath the heavier trucks.
Reporters who were allowed to view
the site saw one tractor-trailer that was
burneddownto its skeleton. Bodies were
still visible inside a burned-out Grand
Prix. The rubber on the tires of every ve-
hicle had burned away, leaving only steel
belts.
State police estimated wreckage was
strewn for nearly a mile in both direc-
tions.
At least 18 people were treated at an ar-
ea hospital.
Dr. Timothy Flynn, chief medical offi-
cer for Shands Healthcare at the Univer-
sity of Florida, said three of the six pa-
tients being treated in the trauma center
needed surgery. Four patients remain in
the hospitals emergency room.
It was not clear when the highway
would reopen because part of the road
melted, Florida Highway Patrol Lt. Pa-
trick Riordan said.

TEHRAN, Iran Irans foreign minis-
ter expressed optimismSunday that a vis-
it by U.N. inspectors toIrans nuclear facil-
ities wouldproduceanunderstanding, de-
spite world concerns that Iran is trying to
build nuclear weapons.
Thethree-dayinspectiontour bytheIn-
ternational Atomic Energy Agency team
comes during spiking tension. The West
is imposing new sanctions to try to force
Iran to slow or halt its nuclear program,
and Iran is threatening to close the Strait
of Hormuz, a vital oil passage, in retalia-
tion.
Visiting Ethiopia, Iranian Foreign Min-
ister Ali Akbar Salehi
appeared to be trying to
defuse the crisis.
We are very optimis-
tic about the mission
and the outcome of the
IAEA mission, Salehi
was quoted as saying by
Irans semiofficial Mehr
news agency.
Weve always triedto put transparency
as a principle in our cooperation with
IAEA, Salehi said. During this visit, the
delegation has questions and the neces-
sary answers will be given,
The findings fromthe visit could great-
ly influence the direction and urgency of
U.S.-led efforts to rein in Irans ability to
enrichuraniumwhichWashingtonand
allies fear couldeventually produce weap-
ons-grade material. Iran has declined to
abandonits enrichment labs, but claims it
seeks to fuel reactors only for energy and
medical research.
The team is likely to visit an under-
ground enrichment site near the holy city
of Qom, 80miles southof Tehran, whichis
carvedintoa mountainas protectionfrom
possible airstrikes. Earlier this month,
Iransaidit hadbegunenrichment work at
the site, which is far smaller than the
countrys mainuraniumlabs but is report-
ed to have more advanced equipment.
The U.N. nuclear agency delegation in-
cludes twosenior weapons experts Jac-
ques Baute of France and Neville Whiting
of South Africa suggesting that Iran
may be prepared to address some issues
related to the allegations that it seeks nu-
clear warheads.
In unusually blunt comments ahead of
his arrival, the IAEAs Deputy Director
General Herman Nackaerts who is in
charge of the agencys Iran file said he
wants Tehran to engage us on all con-
cerns.

TO THE RESI-
DENTS, voters
and taxpayers
of Luzerne
County:
This county
is facing many
detrimental
issues, two of which are the
countys budget and crime rate.
When I took over as district
attorney in the beginning of
January, the former commis-
sioners cut the funding for the
District Attorneys Office by
$623,000. As a result, other than
my secretary, who took the
place of the prior secretary, and
my administrators, who were
already in the office, I did not
hire a single additional individu-
al. Despite positions vacated by
five attorneys who had left to
become judges or moved on to
pursue other endeavors, I resist-
ed replacing open positions for
several reasons.
As an outsider entering as the
district attorney, I did not want
to have personal ties to any
employees. I wanted to assess
for myself if the office had fat to
be trimmed, so to speak. If cuts
were possible, they would be
implemented, but not unless
they could be made responsibly.
I vowed in my campaign to fight
against corruption and the old-
school politics that led to the
scandal which engulfed our
county. Part of that fight in-
volved ensuring that the District
Attorneys Office was not under-
staffed, undereducated or under-
trained. Leaving the office in
such a state would lead to the
inability to follow the Constitu-
tional, prosecutorial and ethical
obligations which the courts,
the public and I so adamantly
demand of the District Attor-
neys Office.
The laws passed by the Gen-
eral Assembly provide that the
district attorney, elected by the
people, shall decide the mini-
mum staff required to ethically
perform the duties of the office.
We are not seeking plush and
surplus staffing, but merely the
ability to do the job as required
by our legal and ethical man-
dates. We seek sufficient funds
to prevent cases and investiga-
tions from falling through the
cracks as crime victims, police
prosecutors and residents of this
county expect. We must be able
to ensure dangerous people are
not returned to our neighbor-
hoods when they should be in
prison.
My administration and I have
spent endless hours examining
and dissecting the operation of
the office and the budgetary
issues. In investigating the prior
years, we found that for the 2010
fiscal year, the commissioners
cut the offices budget by
$300,000. They asked the Dis-
trict Attorneys Office to tighten
its belt. The office restricted the
use of experts and overtime and
did not make hires, which were
needed, unless absolutely neces-
sary.
For the 2011 fiscal year, the
commissioners cut the office
budget another $400,000. The
public was told all the excesses
had been trimmed and once
again the District Attorneys
Office was asked to tighten its
belt. It did. The office moved
money from line items where it
was not immediately needed,
essentially borrowing from
Peter to pay Paul whenever it
could be legally done. Grants
were sought to make necessary
hires needed to maintain the
workload. Assistant District
Attorneys worked extra over-
time without pay to ensure
cases were prepared, briefs were
filed and trials were ready.
At the advent of the 2012
fiscal year, prior to the seating
of the new County Council,
commissioners cut the budget of
the District Attorneys Office
another $623,000. I was told
that cuts were made across the
board and it would be up to the
new council to fix it. I immedi-
ately set to work on the logistics
of running this office on a tight
budget. Seeing the impossible
workload the staff is trying to
handle quickly makes one real-
ize that more attorneys are
needed to fill the positions va-
cated by newly elected Judge
Vough, Judge Hughes, First
Assistant Tokach, Deputy DA
Pedri and ADA Dudick, who
together had a total of nearly 70
years prosecutorial experience. I
was asked to delay hiring as the
new council was making a com-
plete review of all departments
budgets, and I did so.
While I felt this type of cut
demonstrated a recklessness
and indifference to the oper-
ation of this office, I was hopeful
that the new council would take
office, thoroughly investigate
which cuts each department
could endure and pass a reason-
able budget. With a new court,
new government and myself as
the new district attorney, it was
not my desire to begin this new
era in Luzerne County in an
adversarial fashion. I began with
the same faith in the new coun-
cil that the voters demonstrated
in moving away from the three-
commissioner system. Nonethe-
less, I realize we now have a full
complement of judges who will
demand that our office work
overtime to alleviate the back-
log of cases in our system,
which cannot be done with our
current staff.
The budget proposed to us on
Friday completely disregards
the essential needs of this office.
It actually increased the cuts
from $623,000 to $680,211. A
total three-year cut of nearly
$1.4 million, or almost 25 per-
cent of our budget. I met with
the interim manager, attended
budget meetings, spoke at the
January 17, 2012 managers
meeting, and discussed our
position with Manager Lawton
at his meeting with the adminis-
trators on January 25, 2012. All
of my pleas appear to have fallen
on deaf ears.
Adding insult to the injury of
the debilitating cut in budget, at
our January 25, 2012 meeting,
the new manager advised the
crowd that the District Attor-
neys Office could decide to not
prosecute cases. Imagine a
scenario where your home was
burglarized, a heroin dealer was
apprehended or your wallet was
stolen at gunpoint at the local
mini mart. The police investi-
gate, apprehend the perpetrator
and prove a case at the magist-
rate, resulting in the District
Attorneys Office utilizing a
luxury not to prosecute and
closing the file, sending the
perpetrator back to your neigh-
borhood. This statement alone
shows a gross misunderstanding
of the operation of the District
Attorneys Office. Further, it is
contrary to state law for county
officials to require me to prose-
cute fewer cases or ignore crime
to save money.
It has been purported to the
media that this cut in our bud-
get will result in a loss of six
employees. This statement is
either misguided or disingen-
uous. It ignores the fact that, as
I stated above, we currently
have five fewer assistant DAs
than we did 30 days ago. They
were some of our most experi-
enced attorneys, capable of
handling extremely large case-
loads. The actual total loss,
therefore, is currently proposed
to be 11. This number also ig-
nores the fact that cuts would
likely come from the least se-
nior, lowest-paid employees,
some of whom, our hardest
workers, are earning under
$20,000 salaries. Thus, 11 layoffs
(or 20 percent of our staff)
would not come close to making
up the difference.
Since taking over, I have
worked on every measure to
save taxpayer dollars. I have
further restricted overtime and
directed my administrators to
pick up overtime hours without
pay to make up some of the
backlog. I am implementing
policies which will garner the
smallest of savings such as di-
recting that notices be faxed
instead of mailed when the law
permits to save postage and
directing that documents pro-
vided to defendants be printed
on two sides of pages or on a
CD when possible. I have even
requested that our employees
take rolling layoffs one day per
month. Unfortunately, in an
understaffed office, such layoffs,
while better than a complete
loss, would still exacerbate our
problems.
In very limited circumstances,
our office can generate revenue.
One possibility is to implement
fines in addition to court costs
in every criminal case. Fines are
currently an option in every
criminal grading under the law,
but not utilized in many cases.
People who commit crimes
should be required to defray the
cost of their actions currently
borne by taxpayers. However,
these actions would never make
up a $680,000 difference in an
already severely strapped and
understaffed office, and could
not be enacted in the 25 or so
days I have been the district
attorney.
At the time of Fridays budget
announcement, only one of 11
council members had spent any
appreciable time learning any of
the operation of my office. I
would like to thank Councilman
Tim McGinley for taking time to
understand the procedures and
volume of work performed each
day.
It is my sincere hope that
council will reconsider the se-
vere cuts to the District At-
torneys Office. As I said, I am
willing to work in every way
possible to see this through to
an amicable conclusion. I have
worked every day since my
election, before even being seat-
ed, to make this office and this
county better. This office cannot
continue in its current state, and
this budget honestly prevents
my office from executing its
functions as required by law.
I believe our council members
are trying. Just as a marathon
cannot be won in the first
hundred yards, the adversity left
to council cannot be fixed in the
time they have had to learn the
countys operation and amend
the budget. It simply is not
possible to fully understand the
operation of every office in the
past 25 days and reasonably
implement the appropriate cuts
to close the vast debt immedi-
ately. Learning the intricacies of
one office while working in it
full-time and trained in the law
was a formidable enough task.
Tying our hands with the purse
strings designed to administer
justice simply cannot be the
answer and leaves only one
unpleasant and unwanted
choice.
I have attempted to and will
continue to work and cooperate
in every way possible to act in a
diligent, responsible manner
with the new council and for the
citizens of this county so long as
council will do the same. None-
theless, I will not neglect the
citizens of this county. My first
and foremost responsibility is to
the safety of our citizens, the
prosecution of criminals and the
administration of justice.
Sincerely,
Stefanie J. Salavantis,

the guideline range and sen-
tence Defendant Cordaro to 20
yearsincarcerationandDefendant
Munchak to 15 years incarcera-
tion, the document states shortly
afterward.
Its also suggested that Cordaro
pay a $100,000 fine, $1.15 million
in restitution to the County of
Lackawanna Transit System and
$98,856 to the Internal Revenue
Service, andserve three years pro-
bation. Munchak, thegovernment
says, should also pay the criminal
fine, identical restitution to
COLTS, and $20,762 to the IRS,
along with three years probation.
The severity of the sentence
comes from the expressed wishes
of the former Republicanmajority
commissioners themselves.
Running on a campaign to end
pay-to-play politics, the defend-
ants not only embraced pay-to-
play, but took it to a level far be-
yond what any past administra-
tion had engaged, prosecutors
wrote.
The governments memoran-
dum further alleges that the men
attempted to obstruct the ad-
ministrationof justice throughal-
legedwitness tamperingandcom-
mitting perjury on the stand.
Cordaros recently appointed
defense attorney, Peter Goldberg-
er, claims that a minimally suffi-
cient penalty for Cordaro should
be less than six years imprison-
ment.
The Dunmore residents crimi-
nal conduct is aberrant in the full
picture of his life, Goldberger
said.
Further, Munchaks attorneys,
Chris Powell and Lisa Mathew-
son, argue his lifetime of commu-
nity service and requested down-
ward departure in sentencing
should be considered.
WhileMunchakhasmaintained
his innocence since the June 21
conviction, hisattorneysstatethat
his guilt is not in dispute.
Powell and Mathewson claim
that a sentence of no more than
threeyearswill servethepurposes
of sentencing.
Cordaro, 50, and Munchak, 65,
are scheduled to be sentenced at
10a.m. todayat theWilliamJ. Nea-
lon Federal Building and U.S.
Courthouse in Scranton.
SENTENCING
ney kept the pressure on Gin-
grich, casting him at an appear-
ance in south Florida as an influ-
ence peddler and continuing his
heavy advertising blitz questions
the former House speakers eth-
ics.
In what has become a wildly
unpredictable race, the momen-
tum has swung back to Romney,
staggered last weekend by Gin-
grichs victory in South Carolina.
Romney has begun advertising in
Nevada ahead of that states cau-
cuses next Saturday, illustrating
the challenges ahead for Gin-
grich, who has pledged to push
ahead no matter what happens in
Florida.
An NBC News/Marist poll
published Sunday showed Rom-
ney withsupport from42 percent
of likely Florida primary voters,
compared with 27 percent for
Gingrich.
Romneys campaign has
dogged Gingrich at his own cam-
paign stops, sending surrogates
to remind reporters of Gingrichs
House ethics probe in the 1990s
and other episodes in his career.
Gingrich reacted defensively,
accusing the former Massachu-
setts governor and a political
committee that supports him of
lying, and the GOPs establish-
ment of allowing it.
I dont knowhowyoudebate a
person with civility if theyre pre-
pared to say things that are just
plain factually false, Gingrich
said during appearances on Sun-
day talk shows. I think the Re-
publican establishment believes
its OK to say and do virtually
anything to stop a genuine insur-
gencyfromwinningbecause they
are very afraidof losing control of
the old order.
Gingrich objected specifically
to a Romney campaign ad that in-
cludes a 1997 NBC News report
on the Houses decision to disci-
pline Gingrich, then speaker, for
ethics charges.
Romney continued to paint
Gingrichas part of theveryWash-
ington establishment he con-
demns and someone who had a
role in the nations economic
problems.
Your problem in Florida is
that you worked for Freddie Mac
at a time when Freddie Mac was
not doing the right thing for the
American people, and that youre
selling influence in Washington
at a time when we need people
who will stand up for the truth in
Washington, Romneytoldanau-
dience in Naples.
Gingrichs consulting firm was
paid more than $1.5 million by
the federally-backed mortgage
company over a period after he
left Congress in 1999.
Former Pennsylvania Sen.
Rick Santorum, trailing in Flor-
ida by a wide margin, stayed in
his home state, where his 3-year-
old daughter, Bella, was hospital-
ized. She has a genetic condition
caused by the presence of all or
part of an extra 18th chromo-
some. Aides said he would re-
sume campaigning as soon as
possible.
Texas Rep. Ron Paul, who has
invested little in Florida, looked
aheadtoNevada. The libertarian-
leaning Paul is focusing more on
gathering delegates in caucus
states, where its less expensive
to campaign. But securing the
nomination only through caucus
states is a hard task.
The race began moving toward
a two-person fight in South Car-
olina, and has grown more bitter
and personal in Florida.
Gingrich worked to portray
himself as the insurgent outsider,
collectingthe endorsement of tea
party favorite Herman Cain,
whose own campaign for presi-
dent foundered amid sexual ha-
rassment allegations.
It was unclear how aggressive-
ly Gingrichwouldbe able tocom-
pete in states beyond Florida.
The next televised debate, a for-
mat Gingrich has used to his ad-
vantage, is not until Feb. 22.

H
elen W. Jacobs Logan, 64, of
Kingston, passed away peace-
fully Saturday, January 28, 2012 sur-
rounded by her loving family at the
home of her daughter, Colleen, with
whom she had recently resided.
Born December 12, 1947, in the
Georgetown section of Wilkes-
Barre Township, she was a daughter
of the late Henry W. and Esther Mo-
ran Jacobs.
Helen graduated from Saint Ma-
rys High School in 1965 and from
Misericordia University in 1969,
whereshewas granteda Bachelor of
Science degree in elementary edu-
cation; she receivedher Masters de-
gree in guidance from Kean Univer-
sity (formerly Newark State),
Union, New Jersey.
Helen taught in the Brooklake
and Ridgedale schools in Florham
Park, NewJersey for nine years. She
then returned to the Wyoming Val-
ley, where she accepted a position
as a guidance counselor in the
Wilkes-Barre Area School District.
Her return also provided the cir-
cumstances for her to renew a ro-
mance with her soon-to-be hus-
band, Russell Logan. They married
in1980 and settled in Kingston with
their children.
Helen took great pride in her pro-
fession as a guidance counselor,
tending to the needs of her students
with a generous and caring spirit.
She possessed the ability to quietly
help both students in need of aca-
demic assistance and their families
in need of emotional or material
help. She worked in various schools
in the district, including Mackin,
G.A.R., Dodson and Dan Flood,
from which she retired in 2007.
Helens devotion to her husband
and children was evident to all who
knew them. The tragic passing of
Russ in 1992 left Helen with three
young daughters; she would go on
to raise her family herself, handling
children, work and home with the
lively spirit and sense of humor that
would become her trademark.
In addition to raising her family
and her career in education, Helen
was involvedinmany other pursuits
over a period of several decades.
She loved to travel, whether to the
beaches of Cape May, Dewey and
Naples, or to the distant shores of
Ireland. She was an avid tennis play-
er, a voracious reader and an enthu-
siastic bridge player. She appreciat-
ed beautiful things in her home,
bothnewandantique, andfrequent-
ed local estate sales and auctions in
search of special pieces of furniture,
glassware and linens. Helen was al-
so an expert gardener who loved
flowers and so looked forward to
spring, when she could start her
pots and tend to her yard. Yet per-
haps her finest talent was the rare
ability to make friends, nourish
friendships, andbeatruefriend. He-
len saw the best in people, ignoring
their flaws witha twinkle inher eye,
and delighting in their company.
The circle of friends she leaves to
mournher andmiss her is immense.
Helen is survived by her loving
daughters, Molly and her husband
Christopher Garavito, of Kingston,
Colleen and her fianc Jared
McTague of Dallas, and Kate, at
home; step-daughter, Lisa Davis of
Wilkes-Barre; precious grandson,
Jack Garavito; brothers, Henry and
his wife Bonnie Jacobs of Cape Cod,
Massachusetts and Lee and his wife
Aleedra Jacobs of Flemington, New
Jersey; and nieces and nephews.
Helens family thanks Dr. Bruce
Saidman and his staff at Medical
Oncology Associates in Kingston.
Their kindness to Helen over the
past three years will never be forgot-
ten.

to open a safe, and they took
about $3,000 from the safe and
about $21,500 from the counter

YOSEMITE NATIONAL
PARK, Calif. There was a
time not long ago when a
climb to the top of Yosemite
National Parks Half Dome
was a solitary trek attempted
by only the most daring ad-
venturers.
Over the past decade, how-
ever, the route has been inun-
dated with up to 1,200 nature
lovers a day seeking to experi-
ence the iconic mountain that
is stamped on the California
quarter, stitched on a line of
outdoor clothing and painted
on the side of the parks vehi-
cles.
Now officials want to per-
manently limit access to the
granite monolith, frustrating
both hikers who journey there
for a transcendent experience
and advocates who say the
plan doesnt go far enough to
protect a place in a federally
designated wilderness area.
At the end of the day, if the
visitors and users of wilder-
ness arent willing to make
sacrifices to preserve the wil-
derness character of these ar-
eas, then we just wont have
wilderness. Well have some
Disney-fied version of it, said
George Nickas, executive di-
rector of Wilderness Watch.
If people want solitude in
Yosemite, theres another
12,000 square miles to do
that, counters hiker Pat
Townsley, a Bay Area resident
who has been to the top nine
times.
This past week the park re-
leased its environmental assess-
ment of options for the future of
the Half Dome trail, which stud-
ies show is the busiest by far of
any in the National Parks desig-
nated wilderness areas. The
aim is to improve safety on the
Dome and make the trail to get
there less crowded.
Options range from doing
nothing to removing the cables
that hikers use to pull them-
selves up the 45-degree final
climb, rendering it inaccessible
to all but experienced climbers.
Nickas calls them handrails
in the wilderness, and says his
agency might sue to have them
removed if park officials dont
choose that option.

WASHINGTON Theres
no firm date yet, but sometime
in early 2014 NASA intends to
take its first major step toward
rebuilding its human space-
flight program.
The milestone is the maiden
test flight of its Orion space-
craft, a launch that has come in-
to sharper relief in the three
months since NASA and manu-
facturer Lockheed Martin an-
nounced it.
As planned, an unmanned
Orion capsule will begin its
journey at Cape Canaveral and
take two loops around Earth be-
fore splashing down in the Pa-
cific Ocean. Whats nowclear is
that the capsule will be sent far
beyond the lower Earth orbit of
the International Space Station.
At its peak, Orions orbit is ex-
pected to extend nearly 3,700
miles fromEarththe farthest
a NASA spacecraft built for hu-
mans has gone since the early
1970s.
That distance is "significant-
ly higher than human space-
flight has gone since Apollo,"
said Larry Price, Orion deputy
program manager at Lockheed
Martin. "The reason for that is
so we can get a high-energy en-
try so we can stress the heat
shield."
The test will determine
whether Orion can survive the
re-entry into Earths atmo-
sphere where temperatures
are expected to reach 4,000 de-
grees in preparation for a hu-
man flight in 2021. NASAhopes
that Orion eventually can carry
astronauts back to the moon or
to nearby asteroids.
Besides the heat shield, the
practice flight is designed to
test 10 systems whose failure
could be disastrous, including
the capsules flight software and
parachutes. Like its Apollo-era
predecessors, the four-person
Orion capsule is designed to
land in water.
"The beauty about flying in
2014 is that we can learn early
[if there are problems], so if we
find something we really got to
fix weve got time before we fly
people," said Mark Geyer, head
of the Orion program at NASA.
The test also gives NASA,
and Orion manufacturer Lock-
heed Martin, a chance to show-
case part of the agencys newex-
ploration program, details of
which were agreed to last fall af-
ter a year of negotiation among
the White House, Congress and
industry.
In Florida, the test flight,
which will cost $375 million,
will provide Kennedy Space
Center with some badly needed
work. The retirement of the
shuttle led to the loss of at least
6,000 jobs. Lockheed Martin
plans to employ as many as 400
workers for Orion at Cape Ca-
naveral as it approaches the test
flight.
NASAs exploration program
still is years away from being
operational, and NASA leaders
see the Orion test as a morale
booster.

If you look at pop songs before
Dylan, none of them were poetry
like his are.
Kris Kristofferson
The legendary country artist is among 80 singers to
participate in the new four-disc Chimes of Freedom:
The Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International.
The album is available today.
ITS ONLY January, yet its
nearly impossible to avoid
the medias coverage of the
Republican Party primaries
and the upcoming presi-
dential election. In the
midst of this onslaught of
information and endless punditry, one could
easily conclude that interest in politics is at
an all-time high. However, the unfortunate
reality is that only six out of 10 eligible vot-
ers will make it to the polling places this
November.
The bad news is that much of this political
malaise is due to an outdated federal law
that established Election Day as the first
Tuesday after the first Monday in November.
The good news is that in order to increase
voter turnout and improve the health of
Americas democracy, we can move our
Election Day to the weekend, thereby giving
more Americans the opportunity to vote.
To understand why we vote on Tuesdays,
its important to examine the historical con-
text in which this decision was made. The
Tuesday date is not established in the Con-
stitution but rather by an 1845 federal law.
Congress needed to pick a date, and our
pre-Civil War, agrarian society provided
incentives to select that Tuesday as Election
Day. In 1845, the county seats served as the
only places for voting, and residents, many
of whom lived on farms far removed from
county seats, needed time to travel.
Congress did not choose Monday for
elections since it would mean traveling on
Sunday, a day reserved for church. Further-
more, by requiring that Election Day be the
first Tuesday after the first Monday in No-
vember, Congress ensured that elections
could not conflict with All Saints Day, a
Holy Day of Obligation in the Roman Ca-
tholic Church.
While a Tuesday Election Day has become
a part of Americas political culture, our
society has undergone significant trans-
formations since 1845 that warrant moving
Election Day to the weekend.
First, agriculture no longer serves as the
basis of our society. People have been mov-
ing from farms to cities, and technology has
advanced the means of transportation dra-
matically. Polling places are now spread
across the county, and residents can drive, if
not walk, to their voting precincts. There-
fore, sociological and technological changes
have rendered the mid-week Election Day
pointless.
Second, while there are numerous factors
that go into a persons decision to vote, one
key consideration is simply the busyness and
stress of life, which has only been exacerbat-
ed by the Great Recession of 2008. Voting is
the single most important civic obligation
that citizens have, but voting during the
week creates unnecessary burdens. When
adults are unemployed or underemployed,
they spend their days searching for full-time
employment, scrambling between several
part-time jobs while also caring for their
children or older relatives. Is it any wonder,
then, that voting rates either have remained
stagnant or have decreased after Congress
made voter registration easier in the 1990s?
Moving Election Day to the weekend also
would increase voter participation among
18- to 24-year-olds, the cohort with the low-
est voting rate. While 2008 was considered
the year of the young voter, only 51 percent
of 18- to 24-year-olds voted in the presi-
dential election, a percentage not seen since
1972. However, when young people, espe-
cially those in college, are asked why they do
not vote, they consistently cite the impedi-
ments associated with midweek voting.
Many college students remain registered
in their hometowns, not their college resi-
dences. This means that in order to vote,
students typically must travel home mid-
week and miss class, or remember to re-
quest an absentee ballot form months before
Election Day and then complete and submit
it on time.
In sum, its difficult to defend a midweek
Election Day in 2012 when the reasons for
its purpose have disappeared and we realize
the weighty barriers that it places on a sig-
nificant number of people.
Fortunately, U.S. Rep. Steve Israel, DN.Y.,
and U.S. Sen. Herb Kohl, DWis., have in-
troduced the Weekend Voting Act, which
moves the general election to the first full
weekend in November. I strongly urge all
citizens to contact their federal representa-
tive and senators to urge the passage of this
important legislation.
Moving Election Day to weekend would hike turnout

T
HE DECISION BY
European Union for-
eign ministers to im-
plement a wide-rang-
ing oil embargo against Iran
represents a welcome show of
unity by an organization that,
in the past, has been deeply di-
vided on the fraught issue of
Tehrans nuclear program.
While countries such as Bri-
tainandFrancehavetakenaro-
bust approach, others suchas
Germany, which has extensive
trading ties with the ayatol-
lahs regime have been more
inclined to give themthe bene-
fit of the doubt. Consequently,
the Iranians have concluded
that Europe is not serious
about preventing them from
achieving their nuclear goals,
and have pressed ahead with
their quest for the means to
make an atomic bomb.
Now, the Iranians can be un-
der nosuchillusions. All 27EU
member states have agreed to
implement an immediate ban
on all new oil contracts, while
existing contracts will end in
July. The sanctions will add to
Irans deepening economic
woes, which have seen the
rial, the national currency,
plummet.
The ayatollahs need to un-
derstand that if they persist
with the illegal enrichment of
uranium, their country will
pay a heavy price. And if they
have any desire to resolve this
decade-old crisis by peaceful
means, they could make a start
by co-operating fully with the
team of nuclear experts from
the International Atomic Ener-
gy Agency when they travel to
Iran at the end of this month.

WORLD OPINION
EU shows its serious

A
MOMENTOUS 12
months have seen pro-
found changes
throughout somuchof
the rest of the Arab world, but
with thousands of protesters
dead and bloody confrontations
continuing, most notably in Sy-
ria, this so-called Spring has
sometimes seemed more like a
long and harsh winter.
This is not, however, to dis-
miss the achievements of pop-
ulations that have demanded
and won a real say in their fu-
tures. Tunisia heldits first demo-
cratic election in October and
chose the moderate Islamist En-
nahda party as the largest single
group in its constituent assemb-
ly.
Inspired by Tunisia, the peo-
ple of Egypt were next to chal-
lenge their seemingly en-
trenchedleadership. Hosni Mub-
arak endured three days of dem-
onstrations, then sent in police
and troops to quell the protests.
A fortnight later he resigned
when the generals declined to
risk ordering their largely con-
script army to crush the revolt.
But as everyone in Egypt is well
aware, the break is not as clear-
cut as happened in Tunisia.
The tragedy of Syria contin-
ues. The revolt inYemenhas not
yet been marked by success but
rather by confusion and instabil-
ity.
Elsewhere, however, largely
peaceful protests in Oman, Jor-

Writer sees older drivers
as bigger risk than teens
E
lderly drivers are a bigger cause for
concern than teen drivers.
As many of them grow older, they
lose the necessary capabilities to drive,
and this is a danger to senior citizens and
everybody else on the road.
Slower reaction times and impaired
vision probably cause more accidents than
loud music or having more than one pas-
senger in a car.
My brother and I were in a car accident
last year when a woman who was 70 appar-
ently failed to stop at a stop sign because
she didnt see it. By the time she realized
she was supposed to stop, her reaction was
too slow.
I am certainly not saying all elderly
people are incapable of driving, but we
need to find a way to get those who are off
the roads. Pennsylvania should require
citizens who are 55 or older to retake the
drivers test every five years.
I see this as a very appropriate solution
to the problem, and those who are confi-
dent they will pass the test shouldnt have
a problem with this. The elderly people
who have a problem with this will be the
ones who we need to get off the road be-
cause they are incapable of driving.

New state mandate
unjust to junior drivers
A
new law recently went into effect for
Pennsylvanias junior drivers. During
the first six months after obtaining
your license, you may have only one pas-
senger under age 18 in the vehicle, except
family members. This is a huge inconve-
nience.
As many families struggle through these
difficult economic times, paying for gas
has become a serious issue. Carpooling to
save money and create a smaller carbon
footprint essentially has been ruined for
teen drivers.
The school-bus transportation already is
crowded in many districts, and it will wors-
en when young drivers cannot take others
to school.
Newly licensed drivers earned their
licenses and should not have to deal with
this law.

We really connect with our
peers, junior Fallyn Boich of
Mountain Top said. The facul-
ty is very welcoming to new
ideas.
The sense of family is un-

is a family that shrunk dramat-
ically in recent years, a family
ripped apart by bitter fights
and legal battles before knitting
back together.
Smaller family now
In the 2005-06 school year,
the diocese had 20 schools in
Luzerne County, including four
high schools in four separate
municipalities. Those schools
were teaching 5,437 students.
But bad news loomed. Bish-
op Joseph Martino had com-
missioned a diocesewide study
of schools, and when the report
came out in September 2006,
the outlook was grim.
Luzerne County schools were
only at 68 percent of capacity.
Enrollment had dropped pre-
cipitously from 2000, by 25 to
45 percent, depending on
which region of the countys
school system you looked at.
Prior decisions to close some
schools had hastened the en-
rollment losses nearby
schools would see gains, but
overall, fewer students stayed
in the system following a clo-
sure.
Tuition had increased by as
much as 28 percent in three
years, yet still lagged behind
national averages.
Luzerne County elementary
tuition averaged $1,774 per
student; high school tuition
averaged $2,945. The national
rates, respectively, were $2,432
and $5,870.
Salaries for lay teachers
once a non-issue thanks to a
cadre of religious sisters who
took on the work as part of
their calling had risen by 15
percent in two years. A first-
year teacher with a bachelors
degree in 2005-06 was earning
an average of $23,425.
Martino warned change had
to come, and that it would be
seismic and transformative.
Major reorganization
In January 2007, he held a
press conference to announce
changes: Four high schools
would merge into one and six
elementary schools would close
for good. Control of schools
would be taken from local
councils and put under four
regional boards covering the
11-county diocese.
Now you see I have kept my
word, Martino intoned.
The Catholic school family
fractured and revolted. Large
groups met to save the three
high schools. Some called for
retaliation by withholding
donations from the Sunday
collection basket.
A union that had represented
teachers in several schools
The Scranton Diocese Associ-
ation of Catholic Teachers
sought to continue represent-
ing teachers, but was denied.
As private school teachers, they
couldnt legally appeal to the
state Labor Relations Board
and force a secret ballot vote on
unionization.
A new fight erupted, with the
union holding informational
pickets and rallies. Students
walked out of Bishop Hoban
High School briefly to show
support.
State Rep. Eddie Day Pashin-
ski, D-Wilkes-Barre, proposed
legislation that would give
private school teachers the
right to appeal to the labor
relations board.
Martino held firm. The
schools closed. Unionization
was replaced by a diocesan
Employee Relations Program.
Martino went on to oversee the
closure of scores of churches as
well. Then, after six tumultu-
ous years that he said had tak-
en a toll on his health, Martino
retired in August 2009.
Even after the initial round of
consolidation was over, the
system was not done contract-
ing. Schools continued to close
as enrollment continued to
drop.
This year, there are seven
schools in Luzerne County
with a total enrollment of
2,537. The lone high school
the former Bishop Hoban, now
called Holy Redeemer has
620 students in grade nine
through 12. In 2005-06, the four
high schools combined had
1,383 students in those grades.
Tuition in Luzerne County
this year is $3,475 for elemen-
tary students and $5,800 at the
high school, though there are
discounts for second, third and
fourth children in a family
attending the school. For the
fourth child, tuition is a scant
$300, according to Diocesan
Spokesman Bill Genello.
As recent as last April, Bish-
op Joseph Bambera announced
yet another change: Holy Fam-
ily Elementary, Hazletons sole
remaining diocesan school, was
moved from the old Bishop
Hafey building to the former
St. Joseph School across town
because enrollment was too
low to justify staying in the
roomy Hafey structure.
Still, Bambera has been con-
sistently upbeat, insisting the
school system will survive.
Living with consolidation
Many of the wounds have
closed over time, even if they
have not healed.
Former Union Head Michael
Milz, who had filed and lost a
lawsuit contending he was fired
from his teaching job because
of his union efforts, now works
with the local branch of the
Pennsylvania State Education
Association, the states largest
public teacher union.
Milz said the last union fight
with the diocese a demand
that teachers who lost their
jobs in the consolidation re-
ceive contractual benefits has
been fulfilled by the diocese.
The union is now inactive,
though there is still interest
among some current teachers
to unionize.
Its not as if they dont want
an association, Milz said.
Pashinski did not return a
call seeking an update on his
bill, but Milz said the effort
died because there wasnt
enough support to move it out
of committee.
And not all students in the
system are satisfied with Ca-
tholic education.
Its not uncommon to hear of
families once devoted to Ca-
tholic schools who have left the
system, their children opting
for public school.
Theresa Thomas of Exeter
noted that her daughter Anna
wanted to switch to public
school after sixth grade. For
starters, Annas best friend in
school made the switch that
year. But Annas older sister,
Katie, who had graduated from
Holy Redeemer in 2009, sup-
ported the switch.
Katie told her sister after
her first year of college (at
Temple University) that she
had a lot of friends who went to
public school, and that public
school had a lot more offerings
than the parochial school,
Thomas said. In this case, Katie
went on to study music educa-
tion and found her training in
music theory lagged behind
other college colleagues.
Anna switched two years ago
and now attends Wyoming
Area Secondary center. Along
with the savings in tuition,
Theresa Thomas noted one
other big advantage. When
Anna was in Good Shepherd in
Kingston, motorized trans-
portation was the only option,
something that would have
continued had she enrolled in
Holy Redeemer in Wilkes-
Barre. Now she gets to walk to
school.
Academic, social options
Of course, Katies experience
at Holy Redeemer came during
and after the consolidation
she enrolled at Bishop OReilly
in Exeter and graduated as a
Holy Redeemer Royal.
One stated reason for the
consolidation was to increase
resources so the school could
broaden academic and extra-
curricular activities, a promise
largely fulfilled, Vice Principal
for Student Life Michael Booth
said.
There are more clubs and
things going on than any of the
individual schools had before,
he said.
The school has a mock law
activity, has gone from one
school play per year to two, has
increased Advanced Placement
course options designed to be
college-like, and expanded the
courses in other programs
offering different levels of diffi-
culty: the honors program, a
college-prep program, and a
modified college prep program.
We rather pride ourselves in
being able to work with our
students and see where they
belong, Booth said.
Six students interviewed
agreed. Class size is rarely
larger than 25 students, and
some chemistry labs have
dipped below single digits, Sara
Cavanaugh said.
Administrators are amenable
to student suggestions for new
clubs, senior David Gawlas,
from Dallas, said, prompting
junior Patrick Loftus to pipe in,
We just started a badminton
and games club!
This is the fifth year since
consolidation, which means all
the students at Holy Redeemer
came from an elementary
school, not from another closed
high school. All six students
interviewed said they could feel
the unity created by that. While
they saw small cliques form
during their first year or two,
they pretty much disappeared
by the third year, junior Eric
Gdovin of Kingston said.
Booth also noted the consoli-
dation gave the high school a
much stronger presence of
priests. While the high school
students spoke more broadly of
college preparation and com-
munity service, the students at
St. Nicholas touted their reli-
gious training.
As Sister Immacolata Scarog-
ni began seventh-grade class
with a prayer, the children took
turns offering their prayers for
individual reasons.
My great-aunt died on
Thursday, said Kelsey Sterling,
13, of Hanover Township.
I always pray for all the
animals and people that are
being abused, and people that
are sick or who died, Amanda
Curcio, 13, of Larksville, said.
Caring environment
The students voiced a sense
of comfort in a caring envi-
ronment. The teachers pay
attention to us, said Mauricio
Rodriguez, 12, of Bear Creek.
We know Sister Immacolata
loves us, said Marley Mullery,
13, of Wilkes-Barre.
Of course, there is the peren-
nial issue of school uniforms.
For 12-year-old Thomas Engle
of Ashley, they are a bit of a
sore spot. Michael Conway, 14,
from Forty Fort, said they are
an equalizer that prevents rid-
icule some public school stu-
dents receive when they lack
trendy togs.

22-nationregional confederation,
left for New York with hopes of
convincing the U.N. Security
Council to throw its weight be-
hind a league plan calling on
President Bashar Assad to relin-
quish power. Russia, an ally of Sy-
ria that wields veto power on the
U.N. Security Council, has said it
opposes any international move
toward a change in leadership.
The opposition reported Sun-
day that convoys of government
tanks, army personnel carriers
and infantry troops stormed the
Ghouta region east of Damascus,
a sprawling patchwork of work-
ing-class towns and farmland
where rebels have been active.
The military was seeking to oust
armed rebels from restive sub-
urbs such as Saqba, Kfar Batna
and Hammouriya. The opposi-
tion described scenes of street
fighting and urban warfare, as
guerrillas ensconcedinalleyways
and buildings confronted the ad-
vancing troops and their heavy
armor.
There was a barbaric shell-
ing, said an activist via Skype
fromthe industrialized suburb of
Saqba just 3.5 miles fromthe cap-
ital. What happened today was
actually a war. ... The army was
very aggressive.
The reports could not be inde-
pendently verified because ac-
cess to the battle zone is restrict-
ed. Video images from areas in-
cluding Saqba and Duma have
shown rebel forces in control of
town squares, while sympathiz-
ers brazenly waved the green,
white and black flag that pre-
dates the rule of the Assad family
and the Baath Party. Opposition
activists theorized that the video
of towns under the control of the
insurgent Free Syrian Army had
enraged the government, spur-
ring Sundays offensive.
The big demonstrations in
the Damascus region and the
eastern Ghouta specifically have
provoked the presidential pal-
ace, said the activist in Saqba,
who goes by the nom de guerre
Omar Hamzawi.
Anoppositionactivist inDuma
said 50 tanks and 2,500 troops of
the Republican Guard and the ar-
mys 4th brigade had descended
on the eastern suburbs. At least
23 people died, said the activist,
who goes by the pseudonymMo-
hammed Doumany.
It was a terrible day, the ac-
tivist said via Skype. The situa-
tion is dramatic.
The escalating violence
prompted the Arab League on
Saturday to suspend the work of
about 100 monitors, who were
tasked with verifying whether
the government was abiding by a
league-brokered peace plan.
Opposition activists said the
government feared losing ap-
proaches to the capital city,
though at least one traveler re-
portedSundaythat hewas ableto
drive from the Lebanese border
to Damascus without incident.
Central Damascus has been
spared much of the violence. The
city is considered a bastion of
support for the regime and has
hosted many pro-Assad rallies,
even as fighting raged elsewhere.
Experts say Assads army re-
mains an imposing force, despite
defections that have formed the
basis of the armed rebellion.

MELBOURNE, Australia
Novak Djokovic ripped off his
shirt and let out a primal scream,
flexing his torso the way a prize
fighter would after a desperate,
last-round knockout.
This was the final act inDjokov-
ics 5-7, 6-4, 6-2, 6-7 (5), 7-5 victory
over Rafael Nadal in the Austra-
lian Open final a sweat-
drenched, sneaker-squeaking 5
hour, 53-minute endurance con-
test that ended at 1:37 a.m. Mon-
day morning in Melbourne.
Djokovic overcame a break in
the fifth set to win his fifth Grand
Slam tournament and third in a
row. None, though, quite like this.
This one involved tears, sweat
and, yes, even a little blood. It was
the longest Grand Slamsingles fi-
nal inthe history of protennis and
it came against Nadal, the player
who built a career on his tenacity
on outlasting opponents in
matches like these.
It was obvious on the court for
everybody who has watched the
match that both of us, physically,
we took the last drop of energy
that we hadfromour bodies, Djo-
kovic said. We made history to-
night and unfortunately there
couldnt be two winners.
When the drama was finally
over at Rod Laver Arena, the 24-
year-old Djokovic joined Laver,
Pete Sampras, Roger Federer and
Nadal as the only men who have
won three consecutive majors
since the Open Era began in1968.
Nadal was his vanquished oppo-
nent in all three.
Djokovic will go for the Nole
Slam at Roland Garros in May.

McDonald had an interesting
seat in the Eastern Conference
locker room before Sundays
AHL All-Star Skill Competition.
To his left was Syracuse

four games against the Penguins
this year. On McDonalds right
was Bing-

Not bad.
Youbattle during the year and
stuff happens, but were profes-
sional enough that we can relax
and take a couple of days togeth-
er to get to know each other,
McDonald said. I respect every-
one in this room.
Thats why McDonald and
Palmieri, who played under Pen-
guins coach John Hynes with the
U.S. National Teamin2007-2008,
were able to chat about playing
for the same coach.
Its why Locke was able to joke
around with McDonald while the
two sat next to each other after
the skills competition.
Its a part of hockey and its
how were brought up, Locke
said. You battle these guys every
night, but when you come here
its a different atmosphere.

OTTAWA Marian Gaborik
made New York Rangers team-
mate Henrik Lundqvist pay for
not selecting himto play for Da-
niel Alfredssons team in the
NHL All-Star game.
Gaborik beat Lundqvist twice
in the first period, finished with
three goals and an assist, and
earned MVP honors in leading
Team Chara to a 12-9 win over
Team Alfredsson on Sunday.
TimThomas made18saves in
the final period, and extended
his record by winning his fourth
All-Star game.
Chara, with the eventual win-
ninggoal, MarianHossaandCo-
rey Perry broke the game open
by scoring three times in a span
of 1:22 that put their club ahead
11-8 with 6:34 remaining.
Despite the loss, Alfredsson
rewarded his hometown fans by
leading his team with two goals
and an assist. The Senators cap-
tain also hinted afterward that
he is considering coming back
for one more season.
In an interview broadcast on
the arenas scoreboard, Alfreds-
son was asked about his future.
With a smile on his face, and
fans cheering his name, Alfreds-
son said: Fifty percent yes, and
my wifes going to have to de-
cide the other 50.
Henrik Sedin had a goal and
twoassists for TeamAlfredsson.
Gaborik became the 16th
player to score at least three
goals one short of matching
the record in the All-Star
game, and first since Rick Nash
had three in 2008.
The outcome was decided in
the final period, in which Team
Chara outscored Team Alfreds-
son 6-3.
Hossa broke an8-8 tie by scor-
ing on a partial breakaway after
being set up by Pavel Datsyuk
with 7:56 left. Settling the puck,
Hossa stopped in front and then
backhanded a shot past Brian

MIAMI LeBron James
scored 35 points, reigning NBA
MVP Derrick Rose wasted two
chances in the final 23 seconds
and the Miami Heat escaped
with a 97-93 win Sunday over
the Chicago Bulls.
Chris Bosh had 24 points and
12 rebounds for the Heat, who
never trailed but this win in a
rematch of last seasons Eastern
Conference finals was not easy.
Dwyane Wade added 15 points
for Miami.
Rose scored 34 points for the
Bulls, but missed a pair of foul
shots that would have given
Chicago the lead with 22.7 sec-
onds left. He had made all 28 of
his free throws in the fourth
quarter this season.
Rose also had a shot to tie in
the final seconds, but his short
jumper bounced off the rim.
Bosh sealed it with two free
throws with 0.1 seconds left for
Miami, which has won five
straight over the Bulls count-
ing the last four games of last
seasons East title series.
Mavericks 101, Spurs 100
DALLAS Jason Terry
scored a season-high 34 points,
including four in the last 42
seconds of overtime, and Dallas
rebounded after blowing an
18-point lead against San Anto-
nio.
Terry put the Mavericks back
in the lead to stay when he took
a pass from Dirk Nowitzki for a
12-foot baseline jumper with 42
seconds left. After Shawn Ma-
rion stole the ball from Gary
Neal, Terry hit two free throws
with 17 seconds left to make it
101-98.
Neal, who finished with 19
points, then drove for a layup
and was fouled by Marion. But
Neal missed a potential tying
free throw that was rebounded
by Ian Mahinmi, who missed
two free throws.
After Neal got the rebound
and the Spurs called timeout,
Vince Carter knocked the ball
loose. Danny Green grabbed it
and threw up a shot that ri-
cocheted off the front of the rim
as the game ended.
Green and the Spurs thought
he had a game-winner at the
end of regulation, but his 14-
footer was disallowed when
replay clearly showed that shot
didnt get out of his hands be-
fore the buzzer sounded.
Carter had 21 points, his most
with the Mavericks. Nowitzki,
playing for the first time after a
four-game hiatus to strengthen
his sore right knee and do con-
ditioning work, had 10 points on
5-of-14 shooting with 13 re-
bounds.
Cavaliers 88, Celtics 87
BOSTON Kyrie Irving
scored 23 points, sinking a lay-
up with 2.6 seconds left as Cle-
veland scored the last 12 points
of the game to beat Boston.
Anderson Varejao had 18
points and nine rebounds for
Cleveland, which had lost five of
six.
Ray Allen returned from an
ankle injury and scored 22
points, making 4 of 6 from 3-
point range. But he missed a
jumper from the left corner
when Boston still held a one-
point lead on its second-to-last
possession.
Paul Pierce scored 18 points
with six rebounds and five as-
sists for the Celtics, who had
won four in a row.
Pacers 106, Magic 85
ORLANDO, Fla. Danny
Granger scored 24 points, and
David West and George Hill
each had 16 as Indiana ran past
Orlando.
The Pacers snapped a six-
game losing streak to the Magic
and avoided losing consecutive
games for the first time this
season.
Indiana had a 16-2 edge in
second-chance points and got 42
points from its bench. The Pac-
ers also went 8 for 17 from 3-
point range.
Dwight Howard led the Magic
with 24 points and 13 rebounds,
but was a dismal 4 for 15 from
the free throw line. The Magics
loss marked their first three-
game skid of the season.
Lakers 106, Timberwolves 101
MINNEAPOLIS Kobe
Bryant had 35 points and 14
rebounds and Pau Gasol scored
28 to give Los Angeles a much-
needed road victory over Minne-
sota.
Andrew Bynum added 21
points for the Lakers, who won
for the second time in nine road
games this season. They led by
18 in the third quarter, then
withstood a furious Timber-
wolves charge to hang on for
their second victory in six
games.
Kevin Love had 33 points and
13 rebounds and Michael Beas-
ley added 18 points and 12
boards for the Wolves, who lost
to the Lakers for the 16th
straight time.
Minnesota led 94-93 with 3:19
to play, but the Lakers size was
too much down the stretch.
Bynum threw down two dunks
and Bryant slithered into the
lane for two clutch jumpers to
turn back the young Wolves.
Hawks 94, Hornets 72
NEW ORLEANS Jeff
Teague tied a career high with
24 points despite playing on a
sore left ankle and Atlanta beat
New Orleans.
Willie Green added 16 points
and Marvin Williams 14 for
Atlanta, which won for the
fourth time in five games and
handed the struggling Hornets
their most lopsided loss of the
season.
The Hawks broke the game
open with a 23-4 run during the
last half of the third quarter,
while New Orleans was in the
midst of missing 12 straight
shots.
Raptors 94, Nets 73
NEWARK, N.J. DeMar
DeRozan scored 19 of his 27
points in the second half, lead-
ing Toronto over New Jersey.
With injuries playing a role in
their 7-14 start, the Raptors
received a huge lift from DeRo-
zan. He made eight of 12 shots
from the field and 11 of 16 free
throws.
Toronto led 46-41 when it
scored 10 straight to go up by
15. Jerryd Bayless finished with
17 points, six rebounds and six
assists.
Clippers 109, Nuggets 105
DENVER Chauncey Bil-
lups homecoming couldnt have
gone better. He scored a season-
high 32 points and drew a cru-
cial foul in the waning seconds
to help seal the Los Angeles
Clippers victory that snapped
the Denver Nuggets six-game
winning streak.
It was Billups first game at

ABU DHABI, United Arab
Emirates Tiger Woods talked
all week about his improved ball
control then it let him down
in the final round of the Abu
Dhabi Championship.
Woods resembledthe Tiger of
old the first three rounds before
shooting an even-par 72 on Sun-
day to tie for third behind win-
ner Robert Rock and U.S. Open
champion Rory McIlroy.
The 117th-ranked Rock shot a
70 to finish at 13-under 275 and
beat McIlroy (69) by a shot.
Woods was another stroke back
along with Thomas Bjorn (68)
and Graeme McDowell (68).
Today I just didnt give my-
self enough looks at it, Woods
said.
Most of my putts were lag
putts. I didnt drive the ball in as
many fairways as I should have
... It was a day I was just a touch
off the tee and consequently I
couldnt get the ball close
enough.
Woods will make his first PGA
Tour start of the season Feb. 9-
12 at Pebble Beach.
FARMERS INSURANCE
OPEN
SAN DIEGO Brandt Sne-
deker won the
Farmers Insur-
ance Open in a
playoff no one
imagined pos-
sible until
Kyle Stanley
hit a wedge in-
to the water
and made triple bogey on the
last hole.
Snedeker had a tap-in birdie
on the 18th and was so certain
he would be the runner-up that
he drove up to the media center
for an interview, just in time to
see Stanley run into trouble.
Both players made birdie on
the18th in the playoff, then Sne-
deker won on the second extra
hole with a 5-foot par putt. Stan-
leys putt from about the same
length caught the right side of
the lip.
It was a devastating loss for
Stanley, who led by seven shots
in the round, and was four shots
ahead as he stood on the 17th
green.
Snedeker won his third PGA
Tour title.
He closedwitha 5-under 67to
match Stanley (74) at 16 under
at Torrey Pines. John Rollins
shot a 71 to finish third, two
strokes back.

If you heard Hazleton Area
coach Joe Gavio soon after his
teams 2-10 start to the season,
youd have to think he was
overly optimistic.
Or partially delusional.
Were close. Very close,
Gavio said. Weve been play-
ing tough teams really good,
and weve shot ourselves in the
foot a few times.
It turns out Gavio does in-
deed know basketball, and his
team, very well.
While nine of those 10 losses
were by double digits, it turns
out the Cougars have proven
to be much better than what
they showed early in the sea-
son.
Hazleton Area (5-11) has
won three of its past four
games, beating Williamsport
and Berwick, and avenging an
earlier loss to Crestwood. A
four-point loss to Valley West --
one in which the Cougars led
for nearly a half -- is the only
blemish in the past two weeks.
Were starting to define
ourselves, Gavio said. We
feel real confident where were
at right now. And we have a lot
of the top teams at home in
the second half.
Keanna Schoennagle is av-
eraging 10.0 points during the
past four games, well above
her 5.9 per game average she
had in the first dozen games.
Josie Bachman has added 9.0
ppg, after post just 4.1 in the
first 12 contests.
Annie Bono had a season-
high 12 against Crestwood on
Thursday to add to the im-
provement by the Cougars.
Alyssa Sitch had a season-best
14 against Williamsport. Becca
Zamonas had her best game of
the season (13 points) against
Valley West.
LONG SHOTS FOR DALLAS
Dallas opened the second
half with a loss Thursday at
Valley West, but the Mountain-
eers may have found some
additional sources of offense.
Samantha Missal and Katy
Comitz combined for seven
three-pointers, after just mak-
ing 13 between them in Dallas
first 12 games.
The game featured season-
highs for both players -- Missal
with 12 points and Comitz
with nine.
SPARTANS STEP UP
While Tara Zdancewicz and
Kait Smicherko power the
Valley West offense, the Spar-
tans have had others help with
contributions all over the
court.
Cassie Smicherko has really
stepped up in the pressure
game, Spartans coach Curt
Lloyd said of her defensive
play. Especially (earlier this
month) against Redeemer and
Coughlin.
Cheyenne Reese has also
become a bigger presence in
recent games.
Shes a wiry bird, Lloyd
said. Shes not going to take a
back seat to anybody. She
gives us that (full) effort every
night.
GROSS FINDINGS
At District 2s monthly meet-
ing Jan. 18, the district com-
mittee gave unanimous approv-
al to the transfer of Quieterri-
ua Gross and Quinniea Gross
from Valley West to GAR.
Quieterriua averaged 4.5
points in 10 games, and Quin-
niea scored 0.7 points in seven
games through Jan. 5 for the
Spartans.
The Gross duo combined for
21 points in the Grenadiers
51-38 win over Hanover Area
to open the second half of the
season Thursday.

two huge games, and now were
hanging out together.
It shows theres a lot of good
guys in the game and its pretty
easy to let it go for now and have
some fun.
Its an aspect of the game that
didnt go unnoticed by the rookie
players either. Norfolks Cory Co-
nacher, who has scored eight
goals against the Penguins this
season, said he spoke to Aucoin
during warm-ups on Sunday and
was happy to learn there were no
hard feelings from the pair of
games Norfolk and Hershey
played over the weekend.
I asked himif he wanted to be
friends, Conacher said. It was
an easy conversation.
Hockey players tend to get
over stuff like that. Imsure it will
go back to normal after this, but
off the ice hockey players stick to-
gether and dont hold grudges.
Its a part of the game to be rough
onthe ice andthenbe their friend
off the ice.
McDONALD SHOWS HIS
SKILLS
McDonald competed in the
hardest shot, accuracy shooting
and breakaway relay on Sunday.
He had varied results.
In the hardest shot, McDonald
finished in the middle of the pack
with a blast of 92.9 miles per
hour. Chicagos KevinConnauton
won the event with a shot that
registered 99.4 mph.
I saw it last year and knew
what I was up against, McDo-
nald said. I just wanted to get
above 90, save face and get out of
there.
In the accuracy event, McDo-
nald was the only player who
didnt hit at least one of the four
plates attached to each corner of
the goal. To his credit, McDonald
didnt even know he would be in
the event until announcer (and
former NHL enforcer) Alan May
came up to interview him on the
ice.
It definitely threwme a curve-
ball when he (May) came over to
do the interview and told me I
was up, McDonald said. I kind
of panicked a bit, but its all in
good fun. I joked with the guys
that Im a gamer, not a practice
player.
In the last event, McDonald
snapped a streak of 13 straight
saves by the Western Conference
goaltenders to put the Eastern
Conference onthe board. He con-
nected on a wrist shot against
Houstons Matt Hackett.
I redeemed myself a little bit,
McDonald said. Thats a more
game-like event. I guess it goes
back to me being a gamer I
guess.
BOTH SIDES
McDonald and St. Johns Paul
Postma were the only twoplayers
who have competed in an all-star
event with bosh the Eastern and
Western conferences. McDonald
played in last years all-star game
whenhewas withOklahomaCity
and said there are a couple differ-
ences between the two confer-
ences.
The East is a little bit tougher.
The West can be more wide open
and it seems like its not as tight
checking, he said.
PLAYING FOR HYNES
Palmieri smiled when asked
what it was like to play under
Hynes as a member of the U.S.
National Team in 2007-2008. He
said Hynes is a fun coach to play
for, one who is very passionate
and intense.
But Palmieri said Hynes pos-
sesses another more important
quality as a coach.
I was talking to McDonald be-
fore about it, that he gets the
most out of his players. Thats
something a lot of coaches try to
do, but I know from experience
that John Hynes does it very
well, Palmieri said.
WINNERS
The West beat the East 18-10 in
Sundays All-Star Skills Competi-
tion.
Winners included:
Top Goaltender Ben Bishop
(Peoria), Stopped 16 of 19 shots.
Hardest Shot Kevin Connau-
ton (Chicago), 99.4 mph.
Fastest Skater Brian Connel-
ly (Abbotsford), 13.851 seconds.

hearted one-liner.
Good morning, everybody,
he said.
A few minutes earlier, after
hugging Nadal at the net, Djo-
kovic tore off his sweat-soaked
black shirt and headed toward
his players box, pumping his
arms repeatedly as he roared.
He walkedover tohis girlfriend,
his coachandthe rest of his sup-
port teamandbangedonthe ad-
vertising signs at the side of the
court.
I think it was just the matter
of maybeluckinsomemoments
andmatter of wantingthis more
than maybe other player in the
certain point, Djokovic said.
Its just incredible effort. Youre
in pain, youre suffer(ing).
Youre trying to activate your
legs. Youre going through so
much suffering your toes are
bleeding. Everything is just out-
rageous, but yourestill enjoying
that pain.
Thematchwas full of longral-
lies and amazing gets. Djokovic
finished with 57 winners, along
with 69 unforced errors. Nadal
had 44 winners against 71 un-
forced errors.
Laver was part of the 15,000-
strong crowd when the players
walked on at 7:30 p.m. Sunday
toflipthecoinandstart thewar-
mup. He was still there, along
with most of the crowd, after 2
a.m. for the trophy presenta-
tions.
Djokovic called it the most
special of his five Grand Slam
wins.
This one I think comes out
on the top because just the fact
that we played almost six hours
is incredible, incredible, he
said. I think its probably the
longest finals inthehistoryof all
Grand Slams, and just to hear
that fact ismakingmecry, really.
Imvery proudjust tobe part
of this history.
It went solongbecause Nadal
refused to yield. He was trying
to avoid becoming the first man
to lose three consecutive Grand
Slamfinalsandseeinghislos-
ingstreakinfinalsstretchtosev-
en against Djokovic, who beat
himfor theWimbledonandU.S.
Open titles and took his No. 1
ranking last year.
After a grueling four-set loss
to Djokovic at Flushing Mead-
ows last year, Nadal saidthat, in-
deed, hemayhavefoundaslight
opening a glimmer of hope
for next time against the player
who dominated the 2011season
and had dismantled him time
and again over the year.
This one was, in fact, closer,
though not necessarily because
of any strategic changes, but
rather, because Rafa summoned
up the heart to take this one the
distance.
Nadal stayedinthecontestfor
almost every point, sprinting
fromone side of the court to the
other, chasing down balls and
making Djokovic work extra
time for the victory. But in the
end, the same man was holding

man had done such a phenomenal
job, that I felt he was entitled to a
raise.
When paychecks came out, the
employee walked into my office,
Pallo continued, put the check on
mydeskandsaid, I neveraskedfor
money, I never asked for a raise. I
quit.
Mainly, Pallo said, because
working for Doc Mattioli wasnt a
job, it was a labor of love.
I had to talk him into staying,
Pallo said of his protesting worker.
Thats how people felt about
working and being part of Pocono
Racewayandworkingwithandfor
Dr. Mattioli and his family.
That close-knit Mattioli family
grew to include hundreds and
thousands of friends from all over
the country to were touched by
Doc Mattiolis kindness and gene-
rosity.
An innovative risk-taker with an
eyeonthefuture, Mattioli gambled
on ownership of a race track when
auto racing didnt have prime pop-
ularity inthe prosports world, and
he was credited with helping grow
the sport through the northeast
part of the country intoa huge suc-
cess.
Mattioli wasfarfromstingywith
the earnings he generated from
owningPoconoRaceway, whichhe
said before his death has a net
worth of $600 million. He donated
millions from his proceeds to Le-
high Valley Hospital in Allentown,
Pocono Medical Center, East
Stroudsburg University, the
Stroudsburg beautification project
and the restoration of the Wyom-
ing monument.
One last time, those people he
helped and others simply grateful
for his kindness came back to say
thanks one last time to Doc.
Thats a tribute to what kind of
people loved this man, Pallo said.
The proof was ina PoconoCom-
munity Church overflowing with
grief.
I think he would have been
overwhelmed, Igdalsky said, as
muchasour familyhasbeen, inthe
number of peoplewhocamehere.
Clay Campbell, the President of Martinsville Speedway, talks about Doc Mattioli to members of the
media.

The viewing for Dr. Joseph Doc Mattioli was held at the Pocono

Paul Horvath, of Bethleham, remembered Joseph Mattioli as The
kind of guy you love to hug.

INDIANAPOLIS Even the
usually dour Bill Belichick was
joking around as the New En-
gland Patriots arrived in Indi-
anapolis for Super Bowl week.
At his opening news confer-
ence Sunday night, Belichick
was asked if he expected some
Hoosier hospitality.
I never had too much hospi-
tality here, he said, noting that
the Patriots arent exactly pop-
ular in Colts country, until I
went for it on fourth-and-2.
His gamble on that play at the
New England 28 with 2:08 to go
failed and led to the Colts win-
ning field goal in a 2009 regular-
season game.
Fans greeted us lots more
and were awfully friendly after
that, he added.
All-Pro receiver Wes Welker
wasnt familiar with the term
when asked the same question.
What is Hoosier hospitality?
What does that consist of?
Welker asked to laughs before
getting a full explanation from a
local television reporter. I think
it will be a little strange practic-
ing at the Colts facility. I dont
know how many people like
that, but well be calmand polite
and not try to rub it in, so I hope
everyone is appreciative of it.
Belichick, dressed in a suit
no hoodie for the coach this
time also said All-Pro tight
end Rob Gronkowski is day to
day with a high left ankle sprain
for next Sundays NFL title
game against the New York Gi-
ants. Gronkowski has been
wearing a walking boot since be-
ing injured in the AFC title
game.
Youve got to prepare for ev-
ery one of these situations that
come up, quarterback TomBra-
dy said of the possibility Gron-
kowski will be limited for side-
lined. You always have to have
some contingency plans.
Brady knows the Giants will
bring lots of heat with their pass
rush, but for now he was more
comforted by not having to face
a local rival who frequently has
put Brady on his back.
I see Dwight Freeneys pic-
ture up there (on the stadium),
Brady said. When you come to
Indy and dont have to play him,
we are very fortunate for that.
The Patriots drew about
25,000 fans to Gillette Stadium
earlier Sunday for what Brady
termed a pep rally. Team own-
er Robert Kraft, who has had an
emotional year his wife
passed away last July and he was
instrumental in resolving the
NFLs lockout of the players
was thrilled by the turnout.
We had 25,000 people come
to our stadiumtoday to send the
team off, Kraft said. At the sta-
diumtoday it was so special, the
time we are in now, to have
25,000 of our fans cheer our
team is a very emotional experi-
ence.
This is Krafts sixth Super
Bowl as owner, and he vividly re-
called the days when the team
was lucky to draw 25,000 for a
game.
I sat with those crowds. I sat
in the stands for 34 years and we
had one home playoff game, in
1978, which we lost to Hous-
ton, Kraft said. And last Sun-
day, we were privileged to host
our 15th playoff game.

SUPER BOWL XLVI
New York Giants
vs. New England Patriots
Lucas Oil Stadium,
Indianapolis
6:25 p.m. Sunday (NBC)
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.
Jason Pierre-Paul is no longer
the freakish athlete with the big
upside.
The second-year defensive
ends days of impressing his
New York Giants teammates
with his athleticism are over.
What stands out for the rest
of the Giants these days
more than his one-handed catch-
es in practice while laterally
jumping over rectangular foam
obstacles is what the 23-year-
old Pierre-Paul is doing on the
field.
Not only is he the best player
on the Giants defense, he is
now among the best in the NFL.
Doubt it? Hows this for a list
of honors: Pro Bowl. All-Pro.
Two NFC defensive player of the
week awards. Conference player
of the month in December.
Not enough? How about his
game-saving block of Dan Bai-
leys 47-yard field goal attempt
in the most important game of
the season at Dallas in early De-
cember when the postseason
was on the line? Then theres his
16 1/2 sacks the fourth-high-
est total in Giants history to
go with 23 tackles for losses and
29 quarterback hits.
Ouch!
So if you are wondering who
will make a game-changing play
in the Super Bowl against the
New England Patriots, find No.
90 in the white uniform next
weekend in Indianapolis be-
cause chances are hell be the
one making the play.
Hes a thoroughbred, said
two-time Pro Bowl defensive
end Osi Umenyiora, who lost his
starting job to Pierre-Paul
through a combination of inju-
ries and just better play. His
motor, man, just never stops.
Pierre-Paul has created his
own little highlight film in help-
ing the Giants (12-7) get to the
Super Bowl for a second match-
up with the Patriots (15-3) in
four years.
Besides his field goal block
against the Cowboys, people
tend to forget that Pierre-Paul
also had eight tackles and two
sacks, including one for a safety,
in the game that allowed New
York to end a four-game losing
streak and get back in the play-
off hunt.
The other play his coaches
rave about came in a 49-24 loss
to the New Orleans Saints. It
turned out to be meaningless
but it was such a good play. The
Saints faked a field goal on the
opening drive and Pierre-Paul
came from one side of the field
to the other to stop Jimmy Gra-
ham a yard shy of a first down.
His coaches insist no other li-
nemen in the league could have
made the play.
Im still learning, said
Pierre-Paul. Im taking steps. I
have a ways to go.
Giants DE Pierre-Paul
is a difference maker

If the Super Bowl comes down
toakeycatchbyRobGronkowski
of the NewEngland Patriots, say,
or Victor Cruzof theNewYorkGi-
ants, theyll havemorethanmere-
ly their hands to thank.
Those two players, like plenty
of NFL tight ends and wide re-
ceivers, wear sticky gloves
made with a rubbery material on
thepalms tohelpholdontoafoot-
ball. Consider these mitts the
2000s answertothe1970s Stick-
um, the gooey substance famous-
lyusedbyOaklandRaidersdefen-
sive back Lester Hayes and re-
ceiver Fred Biletnikoff, among
others, beforeit was bannedthree
decades ago.
I wear gloves rain, sleet,
hail, snow, outdoor, indoors. I got
to have some gloves, Cruz said.
I feel naked without gloves.
Why?
You grip the ball better, no
question, Cruzs teammate Ha-
keemNicks said. You dont even
(need to) think about catching
it.
Take a close look during the
NFL championship game in Indi-
anapolis next Sunday; most of the
players wholl be on the field will
have their hands enhanced. What
the league refers to as gloves
with tactified surfaces with a
synthetic material in the palmin-
stead of old-school leather en-
tered the football world more
than15 years ago. But equipment
makers have developed increas-
ingly helpful models over time,
and the popularity has increased.
I definitelythinkits a huge ad-
vantage for receivers, said Kurt
Warner, a quarterback in three
Super Bowls whonowappears on
the NFL Network. You see all
these one-handed catches, and
guys snagging balls, and you say,
Whoa, thats almost impossible.
It slows the spin on the ball.
Andits not just theguys paidto
catch passes; defensive backs, li-
nebackers, linemenusethem, too
even Patriots punter Zoltan
Mesko, who wears a glove on his
right hand when hes holding for
extrapointsorfield-goal attempts
by kicker Stephen Gostkowski.
Its more grippier. It gets the
ball down quicker, Mesko said.
Gronkowskis really stand out
on TV, because theyre all white,
and he wraps white tape around
his wrists at the base of the
gloves, making them look mas-
sive.
Plus, he grabs pretty much ev-
erything thrown in his direction:
Gronkowskis 90 catches this sea-
son ranked fifth in the NFL, and
his17touchdownreceptions set a
record for a tight end.
Patriots teammates such as
BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Danny
Woodhead and Matthew Slater
swear by the gloves, too, al-
though running back Green-Ellis
wasnt quite prepared to give the
equipment credit for his perfect
recordof zerofumblesintheNFL.
Greg Jennings, a Pro Bowl re-
ceiver for the Green Bay Packers,
saidthemainbenefit hegets from
the gloves is to protect his hands
from the sting from a footballs
laces.
Who needs Stickum when youve got gloves?

Gloves lay in the locker of New England Patriots tight end Rob
Gronkowski at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass. If the Super
Bowl comes down to a key catch by Gronkowski, say, or New York
Giants Victor Cruz, they will have more than merely their hands
to thank. Those two players, like plenty of NFL tight ends and
wide receivers, wear "sticky" gloves made with a rubbery materi-
al on the palms to help hold onto a football.

AP Pro Football Writer
combined was the second high-
est, a touchdown shy of the 107
scored in 2004.
But it was clear from the start
it was Marshalls day. He hauled
in a deflected, go-ahead 47-yard
TD pass from Andy Dalton,
while on his back, to give the
AFC a 38-35 lead late in the third
quarter. It was Marshalls third
TD catch of the game, tying Jim-
my Smiths Pro Bowl record set
in 2004.
Marshall, making his third Pro
Bowl appearance, then nabbed a
3-yard TD pass from Dalton that
gave the AFC a 52-35 lead with
8:25 left and put the game away.
The game featured 36 first-
timers, including rookie quarter-
backs Cam Newton of the Caroli-
na Panthers and Dalton of the
Cincinnati Bengals, who re-
placed Super Bowl quarterbacks
Eli Manning and Tom Brady.
Their selection made this Pro
Bowl the first to feature two roo-
kie signal callers.
While Dalton looked com-
posed, Newton played horribly
struggling to move the ball,
stay inthe pocket andfindhis tar-
gets, whichdrewsome boos from
the sun-splashed, sellout crowd
of 48,423.
Newton finished 9 of 27 for 186
yards with two touchdowns and
two interceptions. Dalton, mean-
while, was 7 of 9 for 99 yards and
two TDs.
On his first series, Newton
overthrew a wide-open Tony
Gonzalez over the middle, with
the ball sailing into Eric Weddles
hands. The San Diego Chargers
safety popped up to his feet and
returned it 63 yards to the NFC
23, leading to a 37-yard FGby Se-
bastian Janikowski, which gave
the AFC its first lead of the game
at 31-28.
Newton recovered on the next
series, airing out a 55-yard go-
ahead touchdown pass to Pan-
thers teammate Steve Smith,
making it 34-31. But he was inter-
cepted again on the next series.
With the Pro Bowlers unable
to get out of third gear partic-
ularly on the offensive and defen-
sive lines and hitting each oth-
er as though they were having a
pillow fight, the Pro Bowl fea-
tured some good, bad and real
ugly sometimes on the same
play. For example, Aaron Rodg-
ers caught a pass from himself.
His throw was deflected at the
line and he leaped to catch the
ball and backpedaled for a 15-
yard loss.
Rodgers was 13 of 17 for 141
yards and two TDs, giving him a
quarterback rating of 139.6, high-
er than his NFL record 122.5 rat-
ingduringthe season. But he was
watching late in the game as
Newton struggled.
Each AFC player earned a re-
cord $50,000 for the win, while
the NFC players received
$25,000.

As we head into
February, tem-
peratures are
already looking
warmer. Today,
the skies will be
clear to partly
cloudy. The
warm-up begins
on Tuesday, with
partly cloudy
skies. Rain show-
ers will come
back into the
forecast on
Wednesday, and
it will be a very
warm first day of
February.
Thursday will be
partly cloudy.
The chance of a
flurry is possible.
Temperatures
will slowly drop
on Friday, and
we could see
some light snow
showers in the
evening. Light
urries will con-
tinue into
Saturday morn-
ing and we will
have some
clouds mixed
with sun. Sunday
will be a little
cooler with a few
urries.
- Michelle Rotella
NATIONAL FORECAST: Wet and unsettled conditions will continue to be the story for the Northwest
and Intermountain West today as moist Pacic air continues to surge onshore. The rest of the coun-
try will be mostly dry as a strong ridge of high pressure builds along the Atlantic Coast. A few snow
showers will be scattered throughout the Great Lakes.

The Dallas Lions, in partnership with Frontier Communications, is
sponsoring the Hometown Hero Project for 2012. The project will be a
tribute to men and women from the Back Mountain area who have
served, or are serving, our country in any branch of the military. The
Home Town Hero Project is a street pole banner program. The banners
are 30 inches wide and 60 inches high. Each banner is unique and
honors a specific honoree. The banner would include a picture of the
service man or woman in uniform, branch of service, era of service
and rank. Photos can be in black and white or in color. This years
banners will be placed mostly in Dallas Borough. The number of ban-
ners placed will depend on the availability of pole locations. Placement
of the banners will be done at random. The banners should be placed
on Memorial Day and displayed through Veterans Day. At the conclu-
sion of the program the banners will be given to family members.
Sponsorship for each banner is $200. Any contributions would be
appreciated to help with expenses. All proceeds remaining after ex-
penses will be donated to the 1st Lieutenant Michael J. Cleary Founda-
tion. Sponsorship forms will be available at the following Dallas loca-
tions, Dallas Borough Office, Frontier Communications Office, Dallas
American Legion Post 672, Back Mountain Memorial Library and NA-
PA Auto Parts. For more information, contact project chairman Don
Berlew at 675-4360, 760-6147 or Donald.Berlew(&Kraft.com, or Dallas

les, CA 90069

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: My wife,
Kate, and her sis-
ter, Judy, do not get
along, to the point
that my wife refuses
to be in the same
room with her. I have
a class reunion com-
ing up, and Judy is in my class.
Kate has said she will attend but
shell leave if Judy arrives. We had
planned on going in separate cars so
Kate could escape if necessary. But
now she says if Judy puts in an ap-
pearance, shell be upset with me if I
dont leave with her.
I dont get along with Judy either,
but Id like to catch up with other
classmates. Kate feels my not leaving
with her would demonstrate a lack
of support. I dont want my wifes an-
tipathy toward her sister to cause me
to be penalized. What to do?
In the Middle
Dear In: Remind your wife that its
your reunion, not hers. Tell her you
plan to go and catch up with your
former classmates, and you would
love to have her at your side. If Judy
shows up, it will be two against one.
But if seeing Judy would be too upset-
ting for her, youll understand if she
decides to stay home. Its her choice.
Dear Abby: Im a mature woman who
has been seeing a gentleman for five
months. We have dinner together, go
dancing, watch movies, have game
nights with friends, etc. We are to-
gether at least four nights a week,
and each night it ends the same way.
We sit close, hold hands for almost an
hour, kiss for several minutes, hug,
and then go our separate ways. Im
ready for more.
Im not looking for marriage. But
along with really enjoying his com-
pany, Im very physically attracted to
him. Were both kind of shy.
Can you suggest any way to bring
up the subject of becoming more in-
timate? Or should I continue to just
wait for him to make a move?

Dear Stuck At First Base: I assume
that the gentleman youre seeing is
also mature. Has it occurred to you
that he may no longer be able to per-
form in that department?
The time is right to broach the
subject of whats missing. A way to
go about it would be to tell him you
care about him and ask him if you are
attractive to him and if the answer
is yes, follow up by asking why he has
been hesitant to take your relation-
ship any further. Then listen.
Dear Abby: How do you curb a sweet
tooth? I sometimes wake up with the
urge to eat sweets at night. This is a
big weakness of mine.
Needs to Curb the Craving
Dear Needs: Im glad you asked,
because it gives me a chance to share
a technique that works for me. When
you have a sweets craving, get up and
go brush your TEETH! When youre
done, the craving will be less.

memorable and most frequently re-

(Postage is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You
know when youre clicking with
someone, and its also quite
apparent when you arent. In the
latter case, keep things brief so
you can both move on.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You
know you love someone when
you actually look forward to
having him or her annoy you in
some way. Theres something for
you in even the most irritating
interactions with this person.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Youll
work hard and demand the same
of those close to you. Know
when to let up. And if you cant
keep yourself from giving your
all, just be careful what you ask
of others. If youre going to pull
a muscle, make sure its yours.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Minor
problems may be exaggerated
in your mind. You may think you
need a new perspective on life,
when you probably just need a
glass of water, a nutritious meal
and a nap.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You still
dont have a place for some of
the things in your life, and if you
dont find one today, you are
destined to let clutter ruin the
perfectly centered and powerful
state of mind you could achieve.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Theres
much to be shared now. Open up
and loosen up. As you do, you
give others permission to follow
suit. People will feel comfortable
to be themselves around you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Its an
excellent day to do a technology
cleanse. Wherever possible, seek
real stimulus over virtual input.
Once you unplug a few devices,
youll see more opportunity.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Be
careful not to be so enamored
with past triumphs. It was hard
work that got you here, and
thats what will keep you in good
standing.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). A
time of happiness does not make
a person happy all of the time.
Seeking happiness is a full-time
job. But every time you find a
reason and a way to joy, it makes
it a little easier to find another.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Hold out hope that you will
finally get word on some of your
unanswered prayers. But also,
know that in the end its your
answered prayers that will cause
you the most trouble.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The
day lies before you like a grand
piano waiting to be played.
Position yourself to push the
keys that please you best and
repeat in the rhythm that suits
your mood.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Youre
clever and bright, so get out
in the world and make people
smile. Express yourself often.
Your ideas are needed. Youll
solve problems and ease tension
wherever you go.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Jan. 30).
You stand out in a crowd and are
wonderfully entertaining. Youll
be in demand and popular; you
can cash in on this in March.
April brings good news to your
family. Loved ones will depend
on you and this brings everyone
closer. A special friend leads to
adventure in June. July brings
a windfall. Pisces and Scorpio
adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 1, 9, 4, 17 and 12.

Pursuant to the Noncoal Surface Mining
Conservation and Reclamation Act No.
1984-219, as amended, and the Clean
Streams Law, notice is hereby given that
Popple Construction, Inc., 215 E. Saylor
Ave, Wilkes Barre, PA 18702, has submit-
ted revisions to the Application for a Large
Noncoal Surface Mining Permit for
Rushville Quarry, Rush Township, Susque-
hanna County, to the PA Department of
Environmental Protection, Pottsville Dis-
trict Office for review and approval. The
proposed quarry floor is above the local
water table, and no groundwater will be
pumped from the mining area. The cur-
rent land use of the site is active quarry-
ing, as well as unmanaged natural habitat.
The proposed permit area is 158.0 acres
and is situated 0.7 miles North along State
Route 858, off PA Route 706. The Lawton,
PA U.S. Geological Survey 7.5 minute

ner. A total of 95.5 acres is proposed for
mining, with 37.9 acres included as Phase
I of mining and support. The receiving
stream for the proposed permit area is the
North Branch Wyalusing Creek CWF, MF.
The revised application includes a request
for an Individual National Pollutant Dis-
charge Elimination System (NPDES) Per-
mit to address stormwater runoff from the
proposed mine area. Three (3) outfalls
are proposed to wetlands associated with
receiving streams Tributary 29704 and
Tributary 29703 to North Branch Wyalus-
ing Creek. Discharge will occur in
response to precipitation.
The application includes a request to
remove approximately 0.02 acres of wet-
lands in conjunction with mining. The
application also includes requests for vari-
ances to complete the following support
activities within the 100-foot setback of
existing wetlands: construct proposed
wetland mitigation area, construct NPDES
Outfalls 001 and 002, and construct ero-
sion and sediment controls related to the
newly constructed haul road. Additional
variances are requested for the following
support activity: the construction of the
new haul road within the 100-foot setback
of a stream and existing wetlands, includ-
ing the disturbance of 0.09 acres of exist-
ing wetlands.
A copy of the application is available for
public inspection at the Susquehanna
County Department of Planning and Devel-
opment, 81 Public Avenue, Montrose, PA
18801, Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5

address, telephone number, and a brief
statement as to the nature of the objec-
tion(s).
