HARRISBURG A state agen-
cy that investigates alleged
wrongdoing by attorneys has
opened an investigation into a
Kingston attorney who has ad-
mitted to doubling billing Lu-
zerne County, according to a let-
ter sent to Controller Walter
Griffith.
Edwin W.
Frese Jr., an at-
torney with the
Office of Disci-
plinary Coun-
sel, said he
opened an in-
vestigation in-
to attorney An-
gela Stevens after being made
aware of a Feb. 24 story publish-
ed in The Times Leader that de-
tailed numerous billing issues
involving Stevens.
Frese noted that, in addition
to a complaint filed by Griffith,
he also received a complaint
from Luzerne County Judge Ti-
na Polachek Gartley, and Ste-
vens had reported herself to his
office.
The Office of Disciplinary
Counsel is the investigative arm
of the Disciplinary Board of the
State Supreme Court. The
board reviews information ob-
tained by investigators to deter-
mine whether disciplinary ac-
tion should be taken against an
attorney. That action can in-
clude a public censure, suspen-
sion or disbarment.
Stevens was among 18 attor-
neys retained by the county last
year to represent parents whose
children are in the custody of
Children and Youth Services.
Her bills have come under
scrutiny based on a Times Lead-
er investigation that revealed
she routinely charged the coun-
ty travel time for each fee pet-
ition she delivered to the cour-
thouse, even though the pet-
itions appeared to have been de-
livered in a single trip. The
newspaper also uncovered in-
stances when Stevens claimed
to have worked more hours than
there are in a day.
Stevens has acknowledged
she made billing errors, but says
they were oversights. Her firm,
Pyrah/Stevens, contracted a
company to perform a forensic
audit.
Griffith is also seeking a foren-
sic audit. Several companies
submitted proposals last week.
Griffith said Tuesday he is still
reviewing the proposals and
hopes to decide soon on which
firm to hire.
Frese asked Griffith to provide
him a copy of the audit once it is
completed, as well as copies of
all of Stevens billing state-
ments, petitions and checks.

WILKES-BARRE Just over a year
ago on March 11, 2011, Arthur Stoss

Calabro, 48, had been going
through hard times and trying to get
back on track while living at a transi-

First Assistant District Attorney Sa-
muel Sanguedolce said.
Then, Sanguedolce said, she suf-
fered a brutal and untimely death at
the hands of Stoss, 49.
Sanguedolces remarks came Tues-
day during his opening statement to a
jury of eight men and four women, as
well as two alternates who were cho-
sen Monday to hear the homicide case
against Stoss.
Testimony began
Tuesday and will
continue this morn-

and fellow Assistant District Attorney
Frank McCabe will present during the
trial shows Stoss is guilty of first-de-
gree murder.
That evidence will include testimo-
ny from Stoss daughter about her fa-
ther telling her he killed a black male
in a drug deal gone bad on March 11,
that he showed up at her house wet
from the waist down and asked her to
wash his clothes, Sanguedolce said.
A forensic pathologist will testify
via a video that Calabro had multiple
skull fractures and there were signs of
strangulation around her neck, San-
guedolce said.
Theres also a video, the prosecutor
said, of Stoss and Calabro together
hours before she went missing.
Kacmarski said jurors should pay
close attention to cigarettes tested in
the case and why the forensic patholo-
gist never included strangulation in
his written report about Calabros au-
topsy.

Several citizens urged Luzerne
County Council on Tuesday to hold
off on adopting a new state-approved
natural gas impact fee.
A council majority agreed to intro-
duce the ordinance because it wont
take effect unless six of the 11 council
members vote to adopt it before mid-
April.
Council members plan to hold a
special public work session on March
21, tentatively at 6 p.m., to seek public
comment on the proposed ordinance.
The fee primarily benefits local
communities experiencing the effects
of natural gas drilling. Luzerne Coun-
ty doesnt have any active drilling at
this time, but council members are
considering the fee in case drilling
picks up here in the future.
The county would receive about
$22,600 in the first year of the fee be-
cause there were
two exploratory
wells in the Back
Mountain,
though they
didnt result in
the commercial
production of
gas.
Dallas resident
Mary Rodriguez
urged council to
learn more about
the fee before
passing it.
The county would still receive reve-
nue if the fee is approved by 50 per-
cent of the municipalities, and leaving
the decision up to municipalities
would take the burden off your shoul-
ders, she said.
Nancy Dolan, Exeter, said her bor-
ough spent time and money creating
an ordinance to address gas drilling
and its impact on her community, and
Act 13, the impact fee law, would su-
persede local zoning control over nat-
ural gas drilling and related infras-
tructure.
Dolan said the act would allow nat-
ural gas compressor stations close to
densely populated areas and said she
and others are willing to educate mu-
nicipalities about the act if council
steps back.
David Thomas, Plymouth Town-
ship, said Act 13 is an attack on indi-
vidual liberties that strips municipal-
ities of their right to make decisions
about drilling in their communities.
Thomas said compressor and me-
tering stations will reduce property
values, reducing tax revenue for the
county and other taxing bodies.
Fairmount Township resident Mi-
chael Giamber took a different posi-
tion. He said he and some other town-
ship property owners responsibly ne-
gotiated lengthy leases with a gas
drilling company, while a neighbor
agreed on a short boiler plate lease
with few restrictions.
Giamber said his township did not
take an active role in the process.

Court papers filed early Tues-
day morning indicate defense at-

from diminished capacity
around the time of Calabros
death, based on information he
was under the influence of con-

The papers were a request by
prosecutors to exclude that evi-

did not receive any information
about it other than what they
heard in a conversation Monday
with Stoss attorneys.
It was unknown Tuesday if
Amesbury ruled on that request.

COUNCIL
Here are some of the comments from county
residents during Tuesdays county council
meeting:
Brian Shiner pointed out details that have
been overlooked in the county a recent legal
advertisement containing the name of the
former chief clerk/manager and a Moon Lake
Park sign that still lists the three former
commissioners. He also questioned why the
new managers office is in the courthouse
basement.
Therman Guamp said the problems in the
county court system must be addressed.
Kathy Dobash said she believes some coun-
cil members are engaging in e-mail communi-
cation that violates the state Sunshine Act
and said she will be vigilant monitoring coun-
cil actions.
John Newman said the county should put
all money into the same financial institution
after publicly seeking proposals to find the
bank that will provide the best interest return
for the county.
Ed Gustitus said the county should reverse
the Wyoming Valley Levee fee and cover levee
maintenance through the general fund as the
county did in the past.
Fred Heller said the new council is still in its
infancy and urged citizens to be more civil in
their comments and give the council and new
manager more time to address problems.
Tom Dombroski warned council members to
be careful about what they discuss in closed-
door executive sessions to ensure theyre
complying with the Sunshine Act.
Larry Dellegrotto suggested the county put
computerized maps and property assessment
description cards online to allow the public to
access them for a fee, which would generate
revenue.
Richard Heffron, a home rule charter draf-
ter, advised council to keep penalties in the
not-yet-approved ethics code for county
council members who violate it. He said coun-
cil members must hold themselves to a high
standard.
CI TI ZEN COMMENT
President Thomas Leary de-
scribed as a forum.
Before reading from the report
that will be formally sent to the
college and to Leary, Clarke
thanked those at the college who
worked with the evaluators to en-
sure a productive visit.
The report addressed the col-
leges compliance with five stan-
dards of accreditation in which
there were problems: administra-
tion, institutional assessment,
general education, student learn-
ing and institutional resources
and integrity, Clarke said.
He said that based on the
teams evaluation, the college
now appears to be in compliance
with all five standards, and he
provided examples of what
changes were implemented to
bring it into compliance.
No decision until June 28
Petrisko outlined what comes
next.
The college gets a chance to
respond to the report. A copy of
the report, the response and the
review teams confidential rec-
ommendation goes to a commit-
tee.
The committee will meet
and discuss LCCC along with
other colleges where similar re-
ports have been made. The com-
mittee will then forward a recom-
mendation to the full commis-
sion, which may not be the same
as the recommendation from the
peer review group.
The full commission is set to
meet June 28 andmake a final de-
cision, which again can vary from
the prior recommendations. A
letter with that decision will then
be sent to Leary, and information
on the decision posted on the
commissions website. Details
leading up to the final decision
the peer review report, the rea-
sons for decisions by that group
and the committee are not
made public.
The recommendations may
change as the process moves up
the ladder because the commit-
tee and the full commission look
at a bigger picture beyond what
the peer group reviewed, Petris-
ko said. The goal is to ensure
policies and procedures are ap-
plied even-handedly across insti-
tutions. If the committee or
commission feel something was
overlooked earlier in the process,
they can change the recommen-
dation.
Petrisko said there are four
possible outcomes: the commis-
sion restores full accreditation,
changes the schools standing
from probation to warning
(meaning it has improved but
still needs to make more chang-
es), extend probation, or call for
the college to show cause as to
why accreditation should not be
removed.

Syrian regime makes gains
T
he Syrian army has recaptured
most of the northern rebel strong-
hold of Idlib near the Turkish border,
pushing hundreds of military defectors
out of a major base they had held for
months even as pockets of resistance
kept up their fight on Tuesday.
The three-day operation to capture
the city followed closely after a similar
offensive to dislodge the opposition
from another key piece of territory it
had controlled, the Baba Amr district
in central Homs. The two victories
gave President Bashar Assads regime
unmistakable momentum as it tries to
crush the armed opposition fighters.

Not-guilty plea in NYC plot
A man charged with plotting to at-
tack police and soldiers with home-
made bombs pleaded not guilty Tues-
day to rarely used state-level terrorism
charges.
Jose Pimentel nearly whispered not
guilty in a case authorities describe as
bringing down an overt al-Qaida sym-
pathizer who was building a pipe bomb
to act on his violent beliefs, but his
lawyers call an example of police over-
reaching.
A Dominican-born Muslim convert
also known as Muhammad Yusuf, Pi-
mentel had a website detailing his
belief in jihad, or holy war, and said he
believed Muslims were obligated to
attack Americans as retaliation for U.S.
military action in Muslim countries,
authorities said.
JERUSALEM
Sides give truce a try
Israel halted its airstrikes against
Gaza Strip militants early Tuesday and
rocket fire from the Palestinian territo-
ry ebbed as a cease-fire ending four
days of clashes appeared to be taking
effect.
Both sides had indicated they have
no interest in seeing the fighting spiral
into all-out war, and an Egyptian secu-
rity official reported that Egyptian
intelligence officials had brokered a
truce.
There was no official truce announ-
cement from Israel or Gazas Hamas
rulers, but Israeli Cabinet Minister
Matan Vilnai told Israel Radio the
latest outbreak of violence appears to
be behind us.
MOUNT STERLING, OHIO
Truant boy, 9, is stunned
An Ohio officer whose use of a stun
gun on a child resulted in the shut-
down of a village police force said he
shocked the boy twice as the 9-year-old
lay on the floor with his hands under-
neath his body.
Details of the Mount Sterling in-
cident released Monday say the boy
was warned before the officer shocked
him at his home last week following a
truancy complaint from the sheriffs
office.
The officer said the child begged his
mother to let him go to school instead
of with the officer, but she refused,
telling him it was too late. The officer
said he eventually tried to pull the boy,
whom he described as at least 5-foot-5
and 200 pounds, from a couch when
the boy dropped and became dead
weight, kicking and flailing.
He said he fired a warning shock
with the stun gun and that the childs
mother told the boy to obey the officer
so he wouldnt be shocked.
The Ohio Bureau of Criminal In-
vestigation is looking into the matter.

HARRISBURG The judge in
former Penn State assistant foot-
ball coach Jerry Sanduskys child
sexual abuse case said Tuesday
that a defense request for more in-
formation regarding when and
where the allegedcrimes occurred
is moot because prosecutors have
saidtheycannot produceaddition-
al detail.
Judge John Cleland issued the
order a day after the two sides de-

Amendola said Tuesday. If the
commonwealth cant be more spe-

Cleland said a long line of state
cases has addressed the require-

WASHINGTON Millions
of college students could be in
for a shock this summer when
the interest rate on a popular
federally subsidized student
loan doubles unless Congress
acts.
College students on Tuesday
delivered more than 130,000
letters to congressional leaders
asking them to stop rates from
increasing from 3.4 to 6.8 per-
cent. The rate hike affects new
subsidized Stafford loans,
which are issued to low and
middle income undergradu-
ates. Theyhopetoraiseenough
awareness to get Congress to
stop it.
Adding that variable defi-
nitely limits my ability to be
successful, said Tyler Dow-
den, 18, a freshmanat Northern
Arizona University who spoke
at a press conference outside
the Capitol before the letters
were delivered in boxes with
Congress: Dont Double Stu-
dent-Debt Rates printed on
the outside.
President Barack Obama
says its important for Congress
to stop the hike because one of
the most daunting challenges
after high school graduation is
affording college. His adminis-
tration has said keeping the
rate lowwould help 7.4 million
borrowers save on average
more than a thousand dollars
over the life of the loan.
But doing so is estimated to
cost billions annually at a time
when Congress is gridlocked
over budgetary and other is-
sues.
Students, more than 130,000 letters urge Congress: Stop interest rate doubling

WILKES-BARRE Lawyers
for a 16-year-old boy accused
by city police of carrying a ma-
chete to the site of an assault
outside Wilkes-Barre Areas
GAR High School last month
are seeking to have the case
transferred in Luzerne County
Juvenile Court.
Police arrested
Yansy Abreu, of
Wyoming Street,
Wilkes-Barre, on
Feb. 17, charging
him as an adult on
felony and misde-
meanor counts of
aggravated assault,
simple assault and
criminal conspiracy
in the Feb. 9 fight
when Marquis Al-
len, 15, nearly lost
his hand to a strike
from a machete.
Police allege Juan
Borbon, 20, took
the machete from
Abreu and swung
it, striking Allen during a large
fight at South Grant and Le-
high streets, just across the
street from the high school.
Borbon was captured by U.S.
Marshals in Passaic County,
N.J., on March 1. Borbon
waived his right to an extradi-
tion hearing in Passaic County
Court on Monday, and is ex-
pected to be returned today to
face aggravated assault and
conspiracy charges in Wilkes-
Barre.
Police charged Abreu based
on a single witness who al-
leged that before the assault
Abreu was carrying a book bag
with a black handle sticking
out that the witness believed to
be a knife, according to the
criminal complaint.
The witness told police
Abreu appeared upset and ar-
gued with Borbon because Bor-
bon had taken control of the
book bag.
Abreu believes there are wit-
nesses who did not see him
carrying a book bag at any
time before Allen was assault-
ed, according to court papers
filed by his attorneys, Chris-
topher ODonnell and Cheryl
Sobeski-Reedy.
ODonnell and Sobeski-Ree-
dy filed a motion seeking to
decertify the adult
charges and have
Abreus case set-
tled in juvenile
court.
County Judge
David Lupas
stayed all court
proceedings, in-
cluding a prelimi-
nary hearing that
was scheduled for
Tuesday, for Abreu.
A hearing to de-
termine if Abreus
case will remain in
adult court or
transfer to juvenile
court is scheduled
on April 16.
Abreu remains
jailed at the county prison for
lack of $250,000 bail.
Born in the Dominican Re-
public, Abreu moved to Wilkes-
Barre about a year ago, living
with his mother, step-father
and two siblings.
He transferred from Cough-
lin High School to the Alterna-
tive Learning Center in Plains
Township prior to being jailed,
according to the motion.
Since being charged, Abreu
has been interviewed by a psy-
chiatrist who suggested Abreu
may be better treated in juve-
nile court instead of facing nu-
merous years in prison if con-
victed on the adult charges,
ODonnell and Sobeski-Reedy
stated.

DALLAS TWP. Though su-
pervisors deny a recent meeting
with an emergency management
agency official violated the Sun-
shine Act, a legal expert said
Tuesday elected officials should
always err on the side of open-
ness.
Supervisors Liz Martin and
Bill Grant and Emergency Man-
agement Deputy Coordinator
Harry Vivian confirmed a meet-
ing took place Friday at the town-
ship building that included the
townships third supervisor,
Frank Wagner.
Martin said Vivian had intend-
ed to meet with her Friday to up-
date her on emergency manage-
ment agency business involving
notifications, and the other two
supervisors happened to be (at
the township building), and she
asked them if they wanted to lis-
ten to the update.
The majority of it was the su-
pervisors hearing the informa-
tion, said Martin.
Grant also said the supervisors
met to coordinate their sched-
ules for future meetings.
Martin said Vivians report was
about the pipeline project being
built by Chief Gathering LLC,
and how the township could bet-
ter notify residents of impending
construction.
We want tobe infront of it this
time because with Williams
(Field Services LLCs Springville
Gathering Line), we were behind
it, she said.
The Sunshine Act states offi-
cial action and deliberations by a
quorumof the mem-
bers of an agency
shall take place at a
meeting open to the
public . Delibera-
tion is defined as
the discussion of
agency business
held for the purpose
of making a deci-
sion.
A quorum refers
tothenumber of offi-
cials needed to conduct business
legally, which is usually a major-
ity. In Dallas Township, only two
supervisors need to deliberate
outside of a meeting for it to be-
come a Sunshine Act violation.
Melissa Melewsky, media law
counsel for the Pennsylvania
Newspaper Association, saidthat
while the supervisors can gather
to listen to information and coor-
dinate schedules privately under
the law, its humannature towant
to discuss the infor-
mation at hand.
She said the fact
that there are ques-
tions as to whether
the meeting was a vi-
olation of the act
should influence the
supervisors to con-
duct similar business
in a public forum.
Martinwas elected
to her first term as a
public official last November, and
Grant was appointed in January.
Melewsky said new officials
could sometimes be unaware of
the laws nuances and said a mu-
nicipalitys solicitor is often
charged with informing incom-
ing elected officials with that in-
formation.
Township Solicitor Thomas
Brennan said he tries to make
everyone sensitive to the Sun-
shine Act.

HANOVER TWP. The com-
missioners voted unanimously at
Monday nights meeting to re-
zone 91 acres of land located off
Dundee Road.
Michael Dziak of Earth Con-
servancy, which owns the land,
said the property is currently
zonedas S-1Randcanbe usedon-
ly for special purposes or residen-
tial uses. By rezoning the proper-
ty to M-1, it will allow for the
growthof theHanover Commons
Industrial Park, he said.
We can market it for the fu-
ture, said Dziak. Its very limit-
ed in what it can be used for right
now.
However, the township will
have towait until 2017toreapthe
tax benefits from any business
that locates there. The land is lo-
cated in a Keystone Opportunity
Zone and is tax free until 2017,
Dziak said.
At least one resident didnt
agree with rezoning the land.Ed
Mera said rezoning would take
tax revenue away from the resi-
dents andalsoallowfor less avail-
able residential land in the town-
ship.
The commissioners still be-
lieved that it might be possible to
receive tax revenue from the par-
cel before 2017 and will look into
the matter.
In other business, the commis-
sioners:
Voted to renew$97,536 in in-
surance premiums with Joseph J.
Joyce Associates. The policy cov-
ers property, general liability, au-
tomobile and crime.
Commissioner Frank Ciavarel-
la voted against Joyce and said
thecommissioners didnt explore
other quotes. OnequoteCiavarel-
la said he obtained would have
lowered the policy by $15,000 to
$20,000. Ciavarella said he gave
the quote to Township Manger
John Sipper.
Sipper said any quotes the
township received were forward-
edtothe commissioners. He then
follows up on any quote they di-
rect himto. Sipper said Joyce has
been the townships insurance
carrier for several years.
Presented a proclamation to
Ronald Krushnowski, who re-
tired fromhis position as road de-
partment foreman after 25 years
of service to the township.
Voted to refinance $1.035
million of unfunded debt with
Landmark Community Bank at a
rate of 2.69 percent.
Said they hope to introduce
an ordinance to deal with roam-
ing cats at next months meeting
after a Marion Terrace resident
said that her neighbors cat rou-
tinely gets out and destroys her
landscaping by digging holes.

Engraved pavers come in two
sizes, either 4 by 8 or 8 by 8.
Anyone interested may contact
Mark Furedi at 474-5081 for
additional information.
Also, the borough said resi-
dents are reminded that septic
tanks that have not been
pumped according to the three-
year schedule will be considered
delinquent and will be forward-
ed for magisterial proceedings .
Refuse bills for the 2012 year
have been mailed and if paid by
March 31, will be $155. If paid
April through June the bill will
be $165. If paid July through
September, penalty charges will
be added. Those residents who
are delinquent in paying their
refuse bills from prior years will
also be forwarded for magist-
erial proceedings.
PLYMOUTH The borough
warns residents that dumping
debris, which includes house-
hold garbage, trash and yard
waste in the areas of the Brown
Creek, Wadham Creek and Duf-
fy Run impoundment basins is
illegal.
The basins are part of the
internal flood protection system
for the borough and designed to
control storm water runoff and
prevent flooding. The borough
says these structures must re-
main clean and free of foreign
debris at all times. The police
department and code enforce-
ment officer will increase their
daily patrols in these areas.
Anyone caught dumping debris
will be arrested, the borough
said, and fines for illegal dump-
ing violations start at $300 and
will include court costs.
Anyone observing illegal
dumping activities within the
borough should contact the
administrative office at 779-1011
or the police department at
779-2147.
MUNICIPAL BRIEFS
WILKES-BARRE -- The
Campaign Committee for Tim
Holden will host a meet-and-
greet 4 to 7 p.m. Sunday,
March 25, in the North End
Tavern, 553 N. Main St.,
Wilkes-Barre.
Holden is running for re-
election in the 17th Congres-
sional District.
Food and refreshments will
be served.
POLITICAL BRIEF
They insist that turning a blind
eye to double voting, illegal im-
migrants voting, voter imper-
sonation and fictitious voters di-
minishes the rights of people
who vote legally.
I believe every single individ-
ual has a right to have their vote
counted and if any individual
vote is being canceled out by a
fraudulently cast vote, that is
one too many, the bills sponsor,
Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, R-Butler,
told colleagues.
Local state Reps. Phyllis Mun-
dy, D-Kingston, and Eddie Day
Pashinski, D-Wilkes-Barre, spoke
vote Democratic to cast ballots,
such as the poor, minorities and
college students as well as the
elderly and disabled.
They accused Republicans of
using anecdotal and questiona-
ble tales of voter fraud as an ex-
cuse to ram through a law that
would erect modern-day literacy
tests or poll taxes while undoing
civil rights-era battles to secure
voting rights for the poor and
minorities.
Republicans say the bill will
combat voter fraud and protect
the sanctity of elections through
the use of widely available IDs.
I believe every single individual has a
right to have their vote counted and if
any individual vote is being canceled
out by a fraudulently cast vote, that
is one too many.
Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, R-Butler
the bills sponsor
HARRISBURG A measure
that could become one of the na-
tions toughest photo identifica-
tion laws for voters headed to-
ward a third day of debate in
Pennsylvanias state House of
Representatives as the sparring
between Democrats and Repub-
licans on Tuesday showed no
signs of changing minds on a
key election-year issue for both
sides.
House Speaker Sam Smith
said the debate would continue
a third day today after almost six
hours of debate Tuesday.
Republicans who are pressing
the bill easily beat back proce-
dural challenges by Democrats
earlier in the day, and its pas-
sage in the House is the last step
before it goes to Gov. Tom Cor-
bett, who said Tuesday he would
sign it immediately.
House Majority Whip Stan
Saylor of York County said the
delay did not mean that support
for the bill is wavering within
Republican ranks. Republicans
were committed to giving Dem-
ocrats ample time to speak, and
added Thursday to the calendar
as a potential voting session day
in case its needed, Saylor said.
The bill would require voters
to show photo identification be-
fore their votes could be counted
beginning with this years presi-
dential election. It is touted by
Republicans as a way to prevent
voter fraud, which they say is
most likely going undetected
and may not be prosecuted even
when discovered.
But Democrats attacked it as a
veiled attempt to defeat Presi-
dent Barack Obama by making it
harder for people who tend to
against the legislation Wednes-
day from the House floor.
Mundy predicted the bill
would disenfranchise residents
and waste taxpayer money.
You in the majority choose to
spend millions of dollars on a
problem that does not exist,
Mundy said. If you could show
any substantial evidence of voter
impersonation that could justify
the expenditure of millions of
hard-earned taxpayer dollars, I
would be among the first to sign
on to a solution.
Corbetts administration has
said it would cost $4.3 million to
implement the legislation.
Pashinski said the bill has
many flaws that would preclude
thousands of Pennsylvanians
from voting and should be sent
back to committee for a redesign
and have a phase-in provision so
the bills inadequacies could be
corrected.
To move forward knowing
that this bill will not allow our
Pennsylvania citizens the ability
to exercise their constitutional
right to vote is not only irrespon-
sible (and) fiscally careless, but
it becomes more evident that
the real motive for (House Bill)
934 is to manipulate elections
and prevent certain groups of
Pennsylvania citizens their right
to vote, he said.
A court challenge is expected
from the American Civil Liber-
ties Union and/or Senate Demo-
crats.
In interviews Monday, Corbett
said he has seen examples of
precincts that voted above 100
percent of registration, which he
said he considers fraud, but he
didnt give examples.
Doug Hill, the executive direc-
tor of the County Commission-
ers Association of Pennsylvania,
said he has heard of no such phe-
nomenon.

S
olomon Plains Elementary School put a new spin on state math and reading tests districts began administering
them Monday by hosting Wun The Shot Versher of the Harlem Globetrotters on Tuesday. The idea was to reward
students and relieve test anxiety. At right, Versher, who was at the school ahead of the Globetrotters upcoming show
at the Mohegan Sun Arena, picked third-grader Breanna Singer to help him do a trick with the basketball.
ASHLEYAparkingordinance
was unanimously passed at Tues-
day nights council meeting.
Solicitor Bill Vinsko said the
purpose of the ordinance was to
better define the parameters of
parkingviolations withinthe bor-
ough. Hesaidviolationswouldin-
clude parking over the time limit
allowed, parking opposite or
blocking a driveway, storage on
street for more than 72 hours,
parking with an expired registra-
tionanddouble parking.
Council saidthecurrent finefor
parking violations is $20. Howev-
er, the ordinance now directs the
fee schedule for violations would
now be $20 if paid within 72
hours, $40 if paid after 72 hours
but within10days, and$50if paid
after 10 days. After 10 days, the
matter wouldbe forwardedtothe
district judge and incur addition-
al costs.
Vinsko said the police depart-
ment would be expected to use
judgmentinregardtoparkingvio-
lations andthere wouldbe excep-
tions made for parking related to
school andchurchactivities.
In another matter, Phil Endler
of Ashley Street said damage to
the road near his home made it
difficult to access his driveway.
Endler said that he has been
bringing the matter before coun-
cil for11years.
Councilman Joseph Gorman
said he would contact state Rep.
Eddie Day Pashinski to try to ob-
tain to state funding for that pro-
ject.

We seem to get tested almost
every other day with challenges
that test our leadership and our
commitment to the mission that
were involved in.
Leon Panetta
The U.S. secretary of defense cautioned that the United States must
resist pressure from Washington and Kabul to change course in
Afghanistan because of anti-American outrage over a soldiers alleged
shooting of 16 civilians.
With PNC Field, official
priorities are in left field
W
ith the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yan-
kees temporarily becoming the Em-
pire State Yankees, has it occurred
to the Lackawanna County commissioners
that they might have been had?
Why do I get the impression that this
team will stay in New York permanently?
The Corbett administrations budget has
severely cut funding for education, promis-
ing to make Pennsylvania the Mississippi
of the North. With the cutting of adultBas-
ic, nearly 50,000 Pennsylvanians have lost
health insurance coverage. Yet the admin-
istration found $20 million to contribute
toward the rebuilding of PNC Field.
Lackawanna County likewise donated
millions toward this project. How can our
governor and county commissioners justify
such corporate welfare? The Mandalay
people are no paupers, nor are the New
York Yankees.
PNC Field was a beautiful ballpark when
the Red Barons played there. Why isnt it
good enough for the Yankees?
Both counties should disband the au-
thority that operates the stadium and sell
the property, giving the Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre oops, the Empire State Yankees
first dibs. Let them, not us, build their new
stadium. If they dont want it, sell it to a
developer who could build apartments or a
shopping center on the site.
It is not too much of an inconvenience to
drive to Allentown to see minor league
baseball.

Empty hand of GOP
revealed by Barletta
W
ell, here we are, eight months until
election time and Republican Con-
gressman Lou Barletta has a com-
mentary in The Times Leader (Investing
in infrastructure will help shore up econo-
my, Feb. 29) coming out with a proposal
on how to get our unemployed back to
work. Put them to work on infrastructure-
building programs.
Boy, where have I heard that before?
Oh, thats right: It was President Oba-
mas jobs bill. The only trouble is the Re-
publican-controlled House wouldnt even
bring it up for a vote.
If this is the same bill that President
Obama has been trying to get through,
what took so long? Were they wrong, just
as they were with Terri Schiavo way back?
And when they tried to scare everyone
about how Obamas health care law was
going to kill old people? And the list goes
on.
I think people are starting to wise up. I
love fact-checks and when The Times
Leader prints them. It doesnt matter
which side tells a lie, I want to know. How
else can you know who is right?
I see things looking better, and the Re-
publicans still are spreading doom and
gloom and, of course, hate. For the party
that claims to be so Christian-like, it sure
has a lot of negative messages.

Death notice confirms
that life is for living
I
read the obituaries.
I think it comes with age. Ill either
find one of my friends parents or, sadly,
one of my friends.
In Fridays edition I found someone I
wish I had called friend: Paul John Mat-
thew Stebbins Jr.
Maybe it was his smile that first caught
my eye. He looked way too happy to have
died. Maybe it was that he was too young.
Whatever it was, Im glad I read his obitu-
ary.
It opened like this: Paul John Matthew
Stebbins Jr. surprised and annoyed us all
one final time by dying suddenly Wednes-
day, March 7, 2012, at the Wilkes-Barre
General Hospital.
I loved it!
It went on to say: On Aug. 25, 1979,
according to him, God gave the ladies of
the world a gift. One special woman was
lucky enough to unwrap that gift and on
June 26, 2004, he married his best friend
and soul mate, of almost eight years, Su-
zie. He even forgave her for being a New
York Yankees fan.
The greatest part of this masterpiece, for
me, was the following:
PJ would ask that you honor his memo-
ry by donning your favorite Red Sox ball
cap and/or voting for a Republican! His
more practical family members, however,
ask that you honor him by smiling through
the pain, doting upon your children, toler-
ating someone difficult, making amends,
being a better friend, and most important-
ly turning to someone you love, right
now, and telling them so. These are the
qualities that he possessed and that the
world needs more of.
Yes, when I read turning to someone
you love, right now, and telling them so, I
turned to my wife Marianne and said, I
love you!
Did you tell someone?
I think I want an obituary like that one.
The truth is Id have to write it myself. I
cant imagine who would color outside the
lines when writing mine.
When my next-door neighbors mom
died, her daughter-in-law wrote that she
would feed apples to the deer in her back-
yard. That was such a personal word about
a life well lived. She, too, was an incredible
person.
I brought a big bag of apples to the
church service for them.
Yes, its sad that Paul Stebbins died so
young. But how sad this world would have
been if he never would have lived and
loved at all.
To think that in the end ones entire life
is summed up in a couple hundred words.
I want to live so big, touch so many
lives, that a book would have to be written
to capture just the highlights! Thanks,
Paul, for doing just that.

Bill offers right to see
heartbeat pre-termination
M
isinformation abounds concerning
state House Bill 1077, the Womens
Right to Know Act. This common-
sense legislation would simply guarantee
that a woman has the right to observe an
ultrasound image and observe the babys
heartbeat prior to an abortion.
This measure is needed because of wom-
en such as Chris, who posted on the Silent
No More Awareness website: Would I
have paused and taken more time to con-
sider what I was about to do if I had the
opportunity to see a real-time ultrasound
image of that child? Would seeing a beat-
ing heart cause me to better understand
the gravity of the decision I was making? I
believe it would have.
Read the testimonies at www.silent-
nomoreawareness.org. There, youll meet
women who wish that they had had all the
information available about their preg-
nancies prior to making the life-altering
decision to abort.

OMING SOON TO a
polling place near us?
In Aurora, Ohio, on
March 6, an 86-year-
old World War II veteran was
prevented from voting at the
same precinct he has livedinfor
40 years: His drivers license
had expired, and an IDfromthe
Veterans Administration
wasnt acceptable under Ohios
new voter- ID law.
Stories like these are surely
whats in store if a similar bill
passedbythePennsylvaniaSen-
ate last week and possibly up
for a vote today in the House
becomes law.
In recent months, Republi-
can-controlledlegislatures in34
states have decided that the
threat of voter-impersonation
fraud is growing, even though it
has been measured in Pennsyl-
vania at 0.00002 percent, as in
two hundred-thousandths of a
percent, as in four voter-fraud
convictions compared with 20
million votes cast since 2004.
Registration fraud is not vot-
er frauddogs, deadpeopleand
movie-star mice might occa-
sionally be slipped onto regis-
tration rolls, but they dont
showup to vote. Yet Pennsylva-
nias law could block tens of
thousands of real, live and eligi-
ble voters from exercising their
rights, voters that not so coinci-
dentallyareyoung, poor andmi-
nority, theones most likelytofa-
vor the Democrats. Older Penn-
sylvanians whohavevotedregu-
larly for decades also might find
themselves disenfranchised.
The threat to voting rights
now isnt as obvious as when
MartinLuther Kingledthe1965
march to push for the Voting
Rights Act, but its just as real.

againfinds itself under scrutiny,
this time as investigators ques-
tion the conduct of its longtime
solicitor.
AnthonyJ. Lupas Jr. allegedly
ran an investment scam and
bilked several so-called
friends out of more than $1.5
million, according to two attor-
neys who represent
the purported vic-
tims. Multiple agen-
cies are looking into
the matter.
Separately, howev-
er, federal authorities
reportedly visited
with Wilkes-Barre Ar-
ea administrators
Tuesday, askingabout the attor-
neys billing practices as the dis-
tricts solicitor. School board
member Christine Katsock
noted at last months meeting
that the district had budgeted
$425,000 for legal services this
year nearly double that of Ha-
zletonArea, the countys largest
school district.
Whether Lupas billing con-
stituted anything improper, or
criminal, remains to be seen.
But anyone shocked that a
scandal couldagainhit this pub-
lic school system hasnt been
payingattentiontorecent histo-
ry; the districts generally lacka-
daisical approach to confront-
ingits troubles andchangingits
culture offers no confidence to
outsiders that its problems have
been remedied.
Certainschool directors, who
on Monday night had yet to
learnthefull scopeof theinvest-
ment fraud allegations made
against Lupas, initially hedged
at whether the district should
OK a forensic audit. By now,
their unanimous answer should
be clear: Yes, audit away!
Yet suchprudent actionis not
a foregone conclusion here; this
hear-no-evil, see-
no-evil district has
tended to opt for a
say-little, do-noth-
ing approach. Pri-
or incarnations of
the WBA School
Board did almost
nothing as three of
its former board
members became ensnared in a
public corruption crackdown. It
even re-elected one of those
men to serve as board president
while he was under suspicion
for passing a bribe. It has failed
to adopt a written teacher hir-
ing policy or slamthe brakes on
nepotism and cronyism. It
didnt stop to consider other su-
perintendent candidates when
the opportunity arose, but rath-
er rushed through a vote to
maintain the status quo.
Current board members
might harbor the best of inten-
tions to give this district a des-
perately needed makeover.
But results are what matters
now.
Do something.

scheme involving potentially dozens of
victims and millions of dollars, a law
enforcement source said.
When this first happened, all I did
was stay in the house and cry, Garey
said. His kids and my kids played to-
gether. I dont know how he could do
this to us.
Garey, 70, is among numerous peo-
ple who contacted law enforcement of-
ficials in the past few months after the
monthly checks Lupas had been send-
ing to them suddenly stopped.
A source familiar with the case, who
spoke on condition of anonymity, con-
firmed federal and state authorities are
investigating Lupas, a prominent attor-
ney and father of Luzerne County
Judge David Lupas.
Attorney Gavin Lentz of Philadel-
phia, who represents several alleged
victims in a civil lawsuit against Lupas,
said he has been advised possibly 80 or
more people lost money.
Lentz claims Lupas targeted elderly
people and enticed them to invest in a
trust fund. In reality there was no trust
fund and he pilfered the money for his
personal use. Lentz said Tuesday he
plans to file suit on behalf of 10 people
today.
One of his clients, Thelma Andreoni
of Plains Township, lost nearly
$320,000 she invested with Lupas after
he approached her at her husbands fu-
neral in 2009 and convinced her to cash
in an annuity, Lentz said.
In an interview Tuesday, Andreoni,
77, said she had known Anthony Lupas
for years and had no reason to doubt he
had her best interests in mind.
My husband was still in the casket.
He came to me and said he wanted to
help me with my finances, she said. I
thought he was a good friend trying to
help me out.
Lupas gave her a typewritten letter
labeled Agreement and Declaration of
Trust, but never provided any other
documents showing how her purport-
ed investment was performing.
Like Garey, Andreoni said she re-
ceived monthly checks from Lupas for
years and had no inkling anything was
amiss until December, when the checks
stopped.
How could I think anything was
wrong? For two years I was getting my
checks, she said. I trusted his family.
They were good people. So was he as
far as I knew.
The loss of the money has left her to
survive on about $1,000 a month in So-
cial Security and pension benefits.
Shes now planning to move out of her
house and into a senior living center to
save money, she said.
Garey said she initially didnt think
anything was wrong after she didnt re-
ceive a payment in January. She knew
Anthony Lupas had suffered a serious
fall and had been hospitalized, and she
assumed he was just behind in his
work.
When she didnt get a check in Febru-
ary, she repeatedly called his office, but
he did not return messages. She called
her daughter, Sue Dibonifazio, who ad-
vised her to contact David Lupas to see
if he could obtain any information.
Garey said David Lupas called her a
few days later with some devastating
news.
He said My father doesnt have any
money. I should get in touch with the
(state) Attorney Generals Office, she
said.
David Lupas on Monday confirmed
he had contacted authorities after he
received information regarding cir-
cumstances involving his father. He
has declined to provide further details.
Garey said the loss of the money has
caused her financial troubles, but she
feels fortunate compared to others. Her
home is paid off and she has about
$7,000 left in an individual retirement
account held with a bank. She expects
that money to run out within several
months, but her children have said they
will help her.
I dont knowwhat Id do without my
children. They keep reassuring me,
she said.
She said she cant help feeling guilty.
She and John, the former owner of A1
Burner Service, worked hard to save
over their 48 years of marriage so they
could leave something for their chil-
dren. Now theres nothing left.
Thats what you do when youre a
parent, she said. Im ashamed of my-
self for being so gullible and stupid.
While the loss of the money is pain-
ful, Garey said the knowledge she was
betrayed by a friend has made it more
difficult to accept.
He knew us. Its bad enough if he
didnt knowus, but he knewus so well,
she said. I cant trust anybody now.
LUPAS
A source familiar with the case, who
spoke on condition of anonymity,
confirmed federal and state author-
ities are investigating Lupas, a promi-
nent attorney and father of Luzerne
County Judge David Lupas.
believed they were investing
the money, according to two
attorneys representing those
people in lawsuits.
So far no charges have been
filed and there is no allegation
of wrongdoing by Lupas related
to the school district, but his
bills have come under scrutiny
in recent months, particularly
by board member Christine
Katsock. At the February board
meeting, she raised the issue of
escalating bills exceeding al-
ready hefty amounts budgeted
-- $425,000 was budgeted this
school year.
Namey said on Tuesday he
and Przywara had developed
some concerns as the size of
the bills grew in recent years.
All legal services went over
budget, not just for Tony Lupas
but for (assistant solicitor) Ray
Wendolowski and for the at-
torney we use to handle special
education cases.
But Namey and Przywara
both said legal work was also
on the rise. Namey said he
brought his concerns to the
board, which authorizes legal
actions, and some efforts were
made to curb the spending, but
increases continued as the
district took on more legal
challenges.
After news of the investiga-
tion broke, two board members
said they would consider seek-
ing a forensic audit of Lupas
bills. Katsock, in particular,
wants more scrutiny. She said
she has been looking at recent
bills and found instances of
what appear to be double bill-
ing.
For example, she pointed to a
bill submitted by Lupas Dec 31,
2010, for work done in a law-
suit with the architectural firm
Highland Associates. Lupas
billed nine hours for planned
deposition of two people from
Highland, writing receipt and
review of notice for depositions
to take oral depositions of
Don Kalina and Bill Flynn com-
mencing Jan 13, 2011.
Under that billable item,
Lupas included two subpara-
graphs with no separate hours:
(a) preparation and review of
the subject matter of deposi-
tions prior to taking of the
depositions, and (b) day set
aside for depositions which was
necessary to reschedule.
It seems he blocked off an
entire day for depositions,
Katsock said, didnt take depo-
sitions and billed anyway.
On another bill, dated Jan.
14, 2011, Lupas again billed for
preparation for depositions in
Scranton, Pa., on Jan 14, 2011,
deposing Highland Associates,
including legal research. That
same Jan. 14 bill includes 5.5
hours for travel to and from
Scranton, Pa., and taking of
depositions at legal counsels
office for Highland.
Yet a Times Leader review of
the bills, provided by Katsock,
showed Wendolowski billed
three hours to attend deposi-
tion of D. Kalina on Jan. 13,
2011.
On Tuesday Wendolowski
said he recalled both men going
to Scranton to depose two
people from Highland, but
didnt recall details. Wendolow-
ski said he is very careful in
preparing his bills and stands
by their accuracy.
A similar discrepancy occurs
in the bills submitted by the
two men for attending oral
argument on Highlands Prelim-
inary objections. On an invoice
dated March 22, 2011, Wendo-
lowski billed 1.5 hours for that
work, which the invoice says
occurred Feb. 2, 2011. On an
April 11 invoice, Lupas billed
2.5 hours for the same thing
though the invoice has no date
for the actual oral argument.
In fact, while Wendolowskis
bills consistently have dates
and line items for fractions of
hours, bills from Lupas routine-
ly have no dates, and lump
multiple hours into a few broad
descriptions. One example: A
July 1 invoice billed 14 hours
for a total of $2,100, but the
descriptions are broken into
three items, none with dates or
hours spent on that item. Item
one reads:
Litigation, et. al. subsequent
to depositions taken in Scran-
ton by solicitor and assistant
solicitor on the authorization of
the School Board for damages
by WBASD vs Highland Associ-
ates.
Lupas has closed his office
and The Times Leader has
been unable to contact him
since first reporting the law-
suits and investigation Tuesday.
Katsock said the lack of spe-
cifics and appearance of double
billing arent all that bother her.
She said when the board voted
to retain Lupas and Wendolow-
ski this year, it was for an
amount to be determined.
Katsock said when she asked to
see contracts, she was told
there were none.
The Times Leader also
sought and received a list of
total monthly payments Lupas
received in 2011 working as
solicitor for Wilkes-Barre Area
Career and Technical Center.
That list shows no additional
payments beyond his monthly
retainer of $2,666.65, for a total
just shy of $32,000.

We talked about attorney Lupas and they asked
questions about what he does and what did he do,
questions about the bills he submitted, things like
that.
Jeff Namey
Wilkes-Barre Area School District superintendent
nesses affected by the flooding
caused by Hurricane Irene or
Tropical Storm Lee, Augustine
said. Applicants can apply for up
to a $100,000 loan with an inter-
est rate of 1percent for five years.
The money was awarded to
Plymouth Township as the pass-
through municipality for the
funding.
The Luzerne County Small
Business Loan Fund helps our
businesses recover from the his-
toric flooding last year by giving
them access to capital, said
state Rep. Gerald Mullery, D-
Newport Township. Once that
mission is complete, the fund
will transition into a revolving
loan program for all Luzerne
County businesses. That will
have a long-term positive impact
in our county by helping job cre-
ation.
Nearly 200 Luzerne County
businesses were affected by last
years flooding, Mullery said.
The investments come from
the local share assessment ac-
count, a state fund to reinvest
revenue from Pennsylvanias ca-
sinos into surrounding munici-
palities. Funds in the
account are generat-
ed by taxes on li-
censed gaming facil-
ities operating in the
state, including Mo-
hegan Sun at Poco-
no Downs.
The Back Moun-
tain Community
Partnership can now
move forward with
its plans for a region-
al emergency man-
agement center,
thanks to $975,000
awarded to Lehman
Township from the
gaming funds.
Partnership Vice
Chairman John
Wilkes Jr. said the
project wouldnt
have been able to get
off the ground with-
out financial support, though the
group initially requested
$1,229,000.
Were absolutely tickled with
the generosity we did get, he
said. Without the amount of
money we did receive, it wasnt
going to go anywhere.
The center is planned for a for-
mer medical building off Route
118 in Lehman Township.
The space will be used for
equipment and
medical supply stor-
age, partnership and
other civic organiza-
tion meetings,
emergency respon-
der training, sleep-
ing quarters for eva-
cuees and a control
center for the Back
Mountain Regional
Emergency Man-
agement Agency.
Project Home
Run LLC, which
plans to develop the
vacant Kingston
Plaza shopping cen-
ter off Third Avenue
into medical offices,
senior citizens
apartments and a
new home for the
Jewish Community
Center of Wyoming
Valley, received $725,000. This
was the second award for the pro-
ject, which received $525,000 of
a $1 million grant awarded to
Kingston in May.
The JCC is considering mov-
ing from its existing building on
River Street in Wilkes-Barre to
the strip mall formerly occupied
by Price Chopper and other busi-
nesses. Plans for the project
show a 7,000-square-foot gymna-
sium, a 5,400-square-foot fitness
center, two 5,000-square-foot au-
ditoriums, a four-lane swimming
pool, tennis and squash courts, a
rock climbing wall and an at-
tached school with nine class-
rooms and a library.
The group also plans to build a
3,200-square-foot office building
and four 7,200-square-foot senior
housing units in a currently un-
developed wooded area border-
ing of the shopping center park-
ing lot.
Project Home Run is owned by
Charles Cohen, owner of Benco
Dental in Pittston; Paul Lantz,
owner of A. Rifkin and Co. in Ha-
nover Township; and Robert
Friedman, owner of Friedman
Electric in Wilkes-Barre, all of
whom are longtime Jewish Fed-
eration board members.
A $100,000 grant will assist
SCHOTT North America Inc. in
expanding its business into the
biomedical industry. The compa-
ny will add new milling equip-
ment, and new de-ionized water
and acid leeching systems to the
facility. There are currently 246
employees at the facility and the
porous glass project will create at
least five new full-time jobs.
At a time when state and fed-
eral funds are extremely tight,
these grants provide crucial
funding for very important local
projects, said state Sen. John
Yudichak, D-Plymouth Town-
ship.
Other approved projects:

$2.4 million to Jenkins
Township to complete the con-
struction of a newexit ramp from
Interstate 81 that connects with
Keystone Avenue and for con-
struction of bypass roadways to
CenterPoint Commerce and
Trade Park. The project began in
2008 and is expected to be com-
pleted this year.
$1 million to Plains Town-
ship for the completed parking
lot at Mohegan Sun casino. The
area is located atop the former
East Side Landfill and includes a
methane collection system and
customized storm water collec-
tion system.
$325,000 to Wilkes-Barre for
installation of security cameras
at the Intermodal Transportation
Center.
$450,000 to Avoca Borough
to renovate a vacant church into
a municipal building.
$342,300 to Hazleton for the
Greater Hazleton Joint Sewer
Authority to improve its system.
$200,000 to Black Creek
Township to construct a depos-
itory for recyclable materials.
$194,810 to Hazleton to pur-
chase and renovate the former

most to lose as he struggled for political
survival in a part of the country he hoped
would fuel one more comeback in the un-

President Barack Obama.
He congratulated Santorum
on his victories, and poked at
Romney. If youre the front-

Santorum is calling on con-
servatives to pull together. His
message is clear. While he
didnt namerival Gingrich, heis
telling conservatives that its
time to rally around someone
who can beat President Barack
Obama in the general election.
Santorum is offering himself as that per-
son.
There were 107 Republican National
Convention delegates at stake on Tues-
day, 47 in Alabama, 37 in Mississippi, 17
in Hawaii caucuses and six more in cau-
cuses in American Samoa.
In Alabama, with 67 percent of the pre-
cincts counted, Santorumwas pulling 35
percent of the vote, Gingrich had 30 per-
cent and Romney 28 percent.
Returns from 85 percent of Mississip-
pis precincts showed Santorum with 33
percent, Gingrich31percent andRomney
30.
Rep. Ron Paul, the fourth contender,
made little effort inthe states onthe days
ballot.
Evangelicals played an outsized role in
both primary states, underscoring the
challenge to Romney.
InMississippi andAla-
bama, 80 percent or
more of voters leaving
their polling places
said they were born
again Christians or
evangelical. Those
voters havebeenreluc-
tant to rally to Rom-
neys side in the pri-
maries and caucuses
to date. Among them,
Santorum bested
Romney by 9 points in
Alabama and 4 points in Mississippi.
More broadly, the exit polls showed a
primaryelectoratethat was conservative,
determinedlyRepublicanandprofoundly
unhappy about the government.
In Mississippi, more than eight in 10
voterssaidtheyweredissatisfiedorangry
with the federal government, while in
Alabama, 80percent saidtheywoulddefi-
nitely vote for the Republican candidate
against Obama next fall, no matter who
he is.
While Alabama and Mississippi are
among the most conservative states in
the country and share a long border, the
exit polls showed significant differences
in the voters reaction to the candidates.
In Mississippi, Romney had the sup-
port of 30 percent of primary voters who
earnunder$50,000ayear, comparedwith
26percent inAlabama. Hedrewtheback-
ing of 33 percent of Mississippi primary
voters with no college education, com-
pared with 27 percent in Alabama.
Only about half of all voters in each
state said they work fulltime for pay, and
they, too, voteddifferently one state from
the other.
Santorum outpolled Romney, 39 per-
cent to 23 percent among that group in
Alabama. The two men tied among that
group in Mississippi.
As has been true in earlier primaries,
the economy was the most important is-
suetovoters, andanabilitytodefeat Oba-
ma the most important quality when it
came time to pick a candidate.
Theexit pollswerebasedoninterviews

andwith1,575Mississippi voters from30

pling error of plus or minus 4 percentage
points.
The Southern showdown came as new
polling showed a decline in Obamas ap-
proval ratings a reversal amid escalat-
ing gasoline prices and turbulence in the
Middle East.
The day began with Romney leading

1,144 needed to win the nomination. San-
torumhad217, Gingrich107 andPaul 47.
That gave the former Massachusetts
governor more than his rivals combined.
And while Santorum in particular chal-
lenges the mathematical projections,
Romney is amassing delegates at a rate
that puts himontracktoclinchcontrol of

they are a very talented basketball team.
But theyre not a great Imhotep team
like we went against last year.
Call it cautious optimism.

NANTICOKE As Nanticoke pre-
pares for the second round of the PIAA
girls basketball tournament, it does so
without an element found on successful
teams at every level.
The Trojanettes do not have their
own version of Shaquille ONeal.
No, Nanticoke isnt lacking a dom-
inating presence in the paint, thanks to
starting center Ka-
tie Wolfe and re-
serve Alex Holl.
The ONeal-like
presence the Troja-
nettes are without is
that player who is a
prime target to send
to the free throw
line.
ONeal shot 53 percent from the line
in his career. No Nanticoke starter is
below 63 percent, and nine players have
better averages this season than the
sure-fire Basketball Hall of Famer.
Its just a Nanticoke tradition, said
guard Alex Brassington, a 66 percent
shooter from the line. We were just
brought up that way.
Nanticoke (24-3) plays tonight at 6
against District 1 champion Villa Maria
(22-4) at Parkland High School in Al-
lentown. To reach the state quarterfi-
nals, the Trojanettes must continue to
be diligent, and deadly, from the char-
ity stripe.
When it comes down to the wire,
you just go out and focus on the rim.
You dont hear the crowd noise, said
guard Samantha Gow (63 percent FT
shooter). Youre getting shots at the
Free-throw

Every Trojanettes starter is shooting

CONCORD, N.C. The crew chief

The three-member committee heard
testimony from Hendrick Motorsports

NASCAR said Knaus presented a car

Knaus maintains NASCAR made that
determination with a visual inspection,
the No. 48 Chevrolet never evenmade it
to the templates at Daytona, and the car
had been used at all four restrictor-plate
races in 2011.
Team owner Rick Hendrick said the
team will appeal to the National Stock
Car Racing chief appellate officer, and
Knaus will work this weekend at Bristol
Motor Speedway during the appeal
process.
I dont accept it, Hendrick said out-
side NASCARs R&D Center. Period.

Marques Colstonis staying put
in New Orleans. Brandon Mar-
shall is headed to Chicago.
Hours before free agency be-
gan Tuesday, the Saints star re-
ceiver agreed to a five-year con-
tract to remain in the Big Easy. A
bit later, Miami sent its top wide-
out, Marshall, to the Bears for
two draft picks.
Then another receiver made
headlines in Washington when
Pierre Garcon joined the Red-
skins after the free agency frenzy
began.
This was important to me, to
be back with this teamin this sit-
uation, Colston said in a state-
ment released by the Saints. I
was not looking to chase free
agency. It was more important
for me to be back in our program,
a programwe have been building
and a program I believe in.
The topfree agent, of course, is
Peyton Manning, who was re-
leased a week ago by the Colts.
He still is conducting his limited
tour of teams, but the Dolphins
trade of their No. 1receiver could
indicate Miami is out of the run-
ning for the four-time league
MVP.
Brandon Marshall out of Mia-
mi? Dolphins center Mike Poun-
cey tweeted. Tell me this aint
true...
Garcon had 188 catches for 16
touchdowns and a13.4-yard aver-
age in four seasons with the Indi-
anapolis Colts. Last year he had
70 receptions for 947 yards and
six TDs as Indianapolis finished
2-14.
Washington, which is losing
$36 million in salary cap space
over the next two seasons for ex-
cessive spendinginthe uncapped
2010season, alsore-signeddefen-
sive end Adam Carriker for four
years and $20 million, with $7
million guaranteed.
Also re-upping with their
teams were Giants cornerback
Terrell Thomas, Eagles tackle
Todd Herremans, Chargers cen-
ter Nick Hardwick, Jets lineback-
er Bryan Thomas, Vikings back-
up quarterback Sage Rosenfels,
Seahawks defensive end Red
Bryant and linebacker Heath Far-
well, Bears cornerback Tim Jen-
nings, and 49ers linebacker Ta-
vares Gooden, a valuable special
teams player.
The Giants Thomas missed
last season after tearing the ante-
rior cruciate ligament in his right
knee in a preseason game against
Chicago. The 27-year-old expects
to be ready for training camp

onds left completed a furious rally froma
16-point deficit, and Western Kentucky
held on for a 59-58 victory over Mississip-
pi Valley State on Tuesday night.
President Barack Obama and British
Prime Minister David Cameron had
front-row seats to see the tournament
open with a ragged game that had an en-
grossing finish.
The Hilltoppers (16-18) are the longest
of long shots, the only squad in the 68-
team field with a losing record. They
turned up the full-court pressure in the
last 5minutes, overcominga16-point def-
icit with a comeback that won over the
crowd at University of Dayton Arena.
After the buzzer sounded, Obama and
Cameron headed out, fans still buzzing
over what had just happened. Somehow,

Obama, Cameron at game
DAYTON, Ohio Basketball fan-in-
chief President Barack Obama is giving
British Prime Minister David Cameron
a front-row seat to March Madness,
taking his European partner to an
election swing state for an NCAA tour-
nament basketball game.
Amid cheers, the two leaders entered
the University of Dayton Arena on
Tuesday for a First Four matchup
between Mississippi Valley State and
Western Kentucky, a gesture of good-
will during Camerons official visit to
the United States and a way for an
incumbent president to reach sports
fans in an election year.
Adding to the heavy hoops flavor of
the day, Obama announced his NCAA
tournament bracket picks to ESPN, the
sports network he watches on a daily
basis. On Tuesday, the network teased
Obamas selections by revealing his
Final Four picks: Kentucky, Ohio State,
Missouri and North Carolina.
Romney will pass
on making predictions
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Mitt Romney
clearly is not running to be the nations
top sports fan.
The GOP presidential candidate says
he wont be filling out a college basket-
ball tournament bracket, an annual
tradition for millions of Americans
including President Barack Obama.
Romney told reporters Tuesday that
he isnt following college basketball
closely enough this year to predict
which teams will make the Final Four
and which team will win the tourna-
ment.
NORTH CAROLINA
Hensons wrist continues
to be a question
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. North Car-
olina coach Roy Williams says he prob-
ably wont know until Thursday wheth-
er John Henson will be ready for the
Tar Heels NCAA tournament opener.
Henson hurt his left wrist on a fall
during the Atlantic Coast Conference
tournament in Atlanta. The 6-foot-10
forward didnt play the final two games
of the tournament, though he dressed
out for the championship game against
Florida State.
Williams says he is hopeful that
Henson will be ready for Fridays game
against the Lamar-Vermont winner.
The top-seeded Tar Heels are playing
about an hour west of the Chapel Hill
campus in Greensboro.
Henson is averaging about 14 points,
10 rebounds and three blocks per game.
Hes the two-time ACC defensive play-
er of the year.
KANSAS
Jayhawks have been tested
plenty heading into tourney
LAWRENCE, Kan. Kansas coach
Bill Self put together one of the tough-
est schedules in the country for one of
the most veteran teams from a BCS
conference.
Hes gambling that experience will
prevail in an era of instant gratification.
The Jayhawks received a No. 2 seed
in the Midwest Region of the NCAA
tournament Sunday and will open
against No. 15 seed Detroit on Friday in
Omaha, Neb.
The Horizon League champion Ti-
tans promise to put up a fight, but its
hard to believe they will intimidate
Kansas. The Jayhawks already have
navigated a schedule that included
games against Kentucky, Duke, Ohio
State and Georgetown, plus an 18-game
Big 12 schedule.
Self called it a monster schedule,
one he hopes will pay off during the
month of March.

Prime Minister David Cameron attend
the Mississippi Valley State versus
Western Kentucky game Tuesday at
University of Dayton Arena in Dayton,
Ohio.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. John Beilein
has never shownmuchinterest inshort-
cuts.
His first Michiganteamlost 22 games
back in 2007-08 a season not much
different from Beileins debuts at West
Virginia and Canisius years before. In
fact, the pattern has been similar
throughout his career: Beileins teams
may struggle when he first takes over,
but the improvement after that is stea-
dy.
Hes nowinhis fifthseasonas theWol-
verines coach, andsure enough, theyre
entering their third NCAA tournament
infour years this time as a No. 4 seed.
Beileins response after the draw was
typical of someone who seems as con-
cerned about the process as the end re-
sult.
We took baby steps to get where we
are, Beilein said. If were in that thing
every year and we continue to improve
what were doing as a total program,
those baby steps are going to lead us
there. Sometimes youre going to get
unlucky, but we just hang in there and
stay the course.
The Wolverines (24-9) havent been
this high a seed since they were a No. 3
in 1998, and they havent reached the
round of 16 since a run to the national
quarterfinals in 1994. Expectations are
high this year, but Michigans approach
isnt changing.
I dont think we thought we were
playing with house money last year, and
I dont think we feel any pressure right
now, Beilein said. We just do the same
thing, no matter whether were playing
Concordia ... or were playing Michigan
State. We have the same approachevery
day.
Beileins methodical outlook is
backed up by years of experience. Be-
fore coming to Michigan he spent five
seasons each at Canisius, Richmond
and West Virginia. Only at Richmond
did he have a big season right away, re-
aching the second round of the NCAA
tournament in 1998. Elsewhere, hes
needed a bit of time to point a program
in the right direction.
Michigan recovered from that unim-
pressive first season under Beilein,
making the NCAA tournament the fol-
lowing year. After a step back in 2010,
the Wolverines surprised many by re-
turningtothe NCAAs last year androut-
ing Tennessee in their opener.
This year Michigan made the tourna-
ment with room to spare, and with an
impressive recruiting class expected
next season, the Wolverines are clearly
on an upward trend.
Beilein will occasionally talk about
his teams goals in public. Michigan
made no secret of the fact that it wanted
to win the Big Ten regular-season title
this year the schools first since1986.
The Wolverines ended up sharing the
championship with Michigan State and
Ohio State.
But nowthat one loss wouldendtheir
season, Beilein and his players arent in-
terested in discussing the big picture.
Michiganfaces13th-seededOhioonFri-
day night and could then play Temple,
California or South Florida in the round
of 32.
Its a mini-tournament, senior Zack
Novaksaidof this first week. I thinkthe
Big Ten has prepared us for that. ... You
had to come every night. Its the same
way in the NCAA tournament. Youve
got tocome every day. ... If youlookpast
anybody, youre going to get popped.
The Wolverines might be particularly
wary of what a mid-major underdog can
do, since their coach had so much suc-
cess at Canisius and Richmond earlier
in his career.
He tells us, This is their season,
their chance to play Michigan, center
Jordan Morgan said. Early on in our
season he would tell us that, and he un-
derstands being a small school in this
tournament, the mindset they have.
Wolverines have finally arrived

College basketball teams
have been offensively chal-
lenged all season, at times
struggling to score 50 points.
And as one coach says, no one
is enjoying the drop-off.
Fast-paced transition attacks
have been replaced by grind-it-
out fights with scores in the
50s and 60s. Scoring is at its
lowest level in 15 years in Divi-
sion I. Throw out the up-tempo
styles of teams like North Car-
olina or Kentucky, and its even
uglier.
Coaches and players offer ex-
planations ranging from defens-
es, coaching styles, more phys-
ical play and improved scout-
ing. Whatever it is, it adds up
to fewer points.
The last three years, it
seems theres been a con-
fluence of events that have
come together to put the game
in a bad spot, said Jay Bilas, a
member of Mike Krzyzewskis
first Final Four team at Duke in
1986 and an ESPN analyst.
Weve had three years where
the quality of play has been low
or lower. It doesnt mean it
hasnt been competitive and it
hasnt been fun to watch, but
nobody can tell me the quality
of play is as good this year as it
was in 2008 or 2009. Its not.
Division I teams are averag-
ing 68 points per game this
year, down three points from
the 1997-98 season, according
to STATS LLC. And there have
been no shortage of unsightly
scores rolling across TV tickers.
Michigan State 58, Ohio
State 48.
Syracuse 52, Louisville 51.
Kansas 59, Kansas State 53.
Texas A&M 47, Texas Tech
38.
And those came in a four-day
span in February. Things didnt
get much better in the confer-
ence tournaments, either.
Duke scored 60 and 59
points in its two Atlantic Coast
Conference tournament games.
Louisville beat Cincinnati 50-44
in the Big East final, Colorado
beat Arizona 53-51 in the Pac-12
championship, while Vermont
beat Stony Brook 51-43 in the
America East final to prove the
struggles werent confined to
just the power conferences.
And fans shouldnt get their
hopes up that things will turn
around dramatically in the
NCAA tournament.
Last years Final Four
shouldve been an omen of
what was on the horizon. Con-
necticuts defense overpowered
Butler in a 53-41 victory that
capped a weekend in which the
teams averaged 56 points, the
worst in the shot-clock era.
Low digits
are more
likely this
tournament
Scoring average of Division I
programs is lowest its been
in last 15 years.

DURHAM, N.C. Duke has plenty of
alluring storylines throughout its NCAA
tournament bracket. The Blue Devils
cant afford to worry about any of them.
Theyve had three straight subpar
showings over the past two weeks. Be-
cause of that, the second-seeded Blue
Devils focus is squarely on 15th-seeded
Lehigh, andnot a possible Southregional
final rematch with Kentucky 20 years
after Christian Laettners unforgettable
last-second shot beat the Wildcats.
Coach Mike Krzyzewski insisted Tues-
day that he hasnt looked beyond his four-
team pod that also includes 10th-seeded
Xavier and seventh-seeded Notre Dame.
Duke (27-6) plays Lehigh (26-7) on Fri-
day night in Greensboro.
And you may think Imlying, but I will
tell you that I never lie, Krzyzewski said.
I never have, never will. I could not tell
you the 16 teams in our region. I know
Kentuckys in. I know that Notre Dame
and Xavier, because my staff ... you have
lead scouts for themin case we win. But I
dont look at any of that.
Those subplots stuck out almost im-
mediately once the bracket was revealed
on Selection Sunday. Among them:
An opening game against Lehigh,
the school Krzyzewski beat for the first of
his Division I-record 927 career wins, a
56-29 victory for his first Army team in
November 1975. Quipped Krzyzewski: I
hope its the same score.
A possible matchup Sunday with
Notre Dame and coach Mike Brey, one of
Krzyzewskis assistants at Duke from
1987-95.
Apotential meeting next week with
UNLV in the round of 16 would rekindle
memories of consecutive early-1990s Fi-
nal Fours. The Runnin Rebels blasted
Duke by 30 points in the 1990 champion-
ship game, and the Blue Devils win the
following year in the semifinals remains
one of the most significant victories in
school history.
And, of course, that possible South
Regional final rematch with Kentucky on
March 25 three days before the 20th
anniversary of Laettners shot sent Duke
back to the Final Four, marked its run to a
secondstraight national titleandremains
a staple of NCAA tournament highlight
reels.
The more pressing issue for the Blue
Devils is figuring out how to get back to
playing well at both ends of the court, a
slump that started when they were em-
barrassed on their home court by rival
North Carolina in the regular-season fi-
nale.
Itll certainly help if injured forward
Ryan Kelly can get healthy, after a
sprainedright foot kept himout of the At-
lantic Coast Conference tournament.
Krzyzewski hopes to have himback on
the practice court by Thursday, calling it
a day-to-day thing and saying he
trained in water Monday to work on his
movement and conditioning.

PHILADELPHIA Under Fran Dun-
phy, Temple has knocked off one mile-
stone after another in its return to the na-
tional stage. Win the Atlantic 10 tourna-
ment title. Return to the national rank-
ings and the NCAA tournament. Win a
tournament game. Win the outright A-10
title.
For a programthat hit some lean times
in John Chaneys final seasons, each feat
was a reason for the Owls to celebrate.
Not this season. When the Owls saw
their name on the NCAA bracket on the
selection show, there were no jumps for
joy or a wild party.
In this NCAA tournament, its playing
at least into the second weekend or
bust.
The Owls (24-7) are one of the more
seasoned teams in the field of 68. They
earned the No. 5 seed in the Midwest and
wont know their opponent until Califor-
nia and South Florida play tonight.
Temple guard and leading scorer Ra-
mone Moore, one of five upperclassman
in the starting lineup, said it would be
disappointing if the Owls failed to ad-
vance out of the opening weekend.
All the seniors, weve been here long
enough, Moore said. Were past the
stage of just getting there and making it.
We want to win some games.
I think it would mean a lot for our pro-
gram.
Dunphy snapped an 11-game tourna-
ment losing streak that started at Penn
when the Owls beat Penn State 66-64 last
season. The Owls followed with a 71-64
double-overtime loss to San Diego State.
The win over the Nittany Lions was Tem-
ples first in the tournament since 2001
when it made the regional finals under
Chaney.
We know how close it was, how close
it could have been, Moore said, to ad-
vance to the Sweet 16.
Before Temple fans think about mark-
ing a W on their tournament bracket,
they need a team on the other line. Cali-
fornia and South Florida play tonight.
The winner advances to play the Owls
around10 p.m. Friday in Nashville, Tenn.
Its not the guessing that bothers Dun-
phy, its the waiting. After all, Temple has
a week off because of a one-and-done ef-
fort in the Atlantic 10 tournament.
The concern will be, the time off,
Dunphy said. I dont have the answer.
Were going to practice like we normally
practice.

S P O R T S
PHOENIX Manny Ramirez
hit his first home run of the
spring and Yoenis Cespedes
went hitless again in Oaklands
8-6 win Tuesday over a Mil-
waukee Brewers split squad.
Ramirez sent a long drive to
left-center against right-hander
Mike Fiers. Ramirez, who has
not played in the majors since
last April, had been 0 for 8 this
spring. He also drew a walk and
flied out.
Ramirez must serve a 50-
game suspension for a violation
of baseballs drug policy.
Cespedes, the Cuban out-
fielder the As signed to a four-
year, $36 million deal, struck
out twice and grounded out. He
has gone hitless in six at-bats
over his past two games.
Indians 8, Rangers 8
GOODYEAR, Ariz. Yu
Darvish couldnt command his
fastball over three innings for
the Texas Rangers in a 10-inning
tie with the Cleveland Indians.
The Japanese star walked four
in his second spring start. He
allowed two runs and three hits
and struck out three.
Marlins 2, Braves 2
JUPITER, Fla. Carlos
Zambrano struck out five in four
innings for Miami in a 10-inning
tie with Atlanta.
Zambrano gave up two hits
and one run. The last time he
faced the Braves was Aug. 12
when he stormed off the mound
after allowing eight runs,
cleaned out his locker and never
pitched again for the Chicago
Cubs.
Braves starter Mike Minor
gave up one hit in four scoreless
innings and struck out four.
Cubs 5, Giants 4
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Cubs
newcomer Chris Volstad pitched
three shutout innings for the
second straight time this spring.
Volstad, acquired in January
from the Miami Marlins for
fellow right-hander Carlos Zam-
brano, gave up two hits. In his
prior outing, he allowed one hit
against Seattle.
Volstad also got a hit against
San Francisco.
Astros 6, Phillies 5
KISSIMMEE, Fla. Livan
Hernandez pitched five score-
less innings for Houston and
Brian Bixlers three-run homer
in the 10th lifted the Astros over
Philadelphia.
Bixler had two hits, drove in
four runs and stole a base.
Domonic Browns home run
in the top of the 10th put the
Phillies ahead.
Hernandez gave up five hits,
walked none and struck out one
in his third spring start.
Phillies starter Cole Hamels
gave up a run while striking out
four and walking none in five
innings.
Cardinals 7, Mets 1
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla.
Adam Wainwright pitched three
scoreless innings in his second
outing of the spring, and David
Freese and Yadier Molina home-
red as St. Louis beat the Mets.
Wainwright, returning from
elbow surgery that shelved him
all of last season, gave up one
hit and one walk, throwing 25 of
40 pitches for strikes.
Mets starter Mike Pelfrey left
some pitches up early on, and
the Cardinals took advantage.
Freese, the World Series MVP
who also had a three-run homer
Monday, hit a two-run shot over
the right field wall with one out
in the first inning, and Molina
led off the second with a homer
to left.
Angels 3, Diamondbacks 0
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Dan
Haren struck out seven of the
last eight batters he faced in
three innings and the Angels
went on to beat Arizona.
Haren gave up one hit, a lead-
off single to Willie Bloomquist,
and walked none. Its the only
hit the former Diamondbacks
ace has allowed in two spring
starts. Overall, he has 10 strike-
outs and one walk in five score-
less innings.
Alexi Amarista hit his second
home run of the spring for the
Angels, a solo shot off Arizona
starter Trevor Cahill, who al-
lowed two runs and five hits in
three innings.
Mariners 7, Brewers (ss) 4
PHOENIX Zack Greinke
threw three scoreless innings for
Milwaukees split squad before
Seattle came back.
Greinke gave up one hit and
struck out five. He left after
issuing his lone walk to Casper
Wells leading off the fourth.
Orioles 7, Rays 7
SARASOTA, Fla. David
Price worked into the fourth
inning, and Matt Moore made
his spring debut with a hitless 1
2-3 innings in Tampa Bays 10-
inning tie with Baltimore.
Price pitched 3 2-3 innings
and allowed the Orioles biggest
inning of the spring four runs
keyed by a three-run homer
by Jai Miller.
Blue Jays 8, Twins 2
FORT MYERS, Fla. Fran-
cisco Lirianos fast spring start
slowed when the Toronto Blue
Jays scored four runs off him in
the third inning and beat Minne-
sota.
The streaky lefty, who pitched
a no-hitter last year while going
9-10, struck out five. But Toron-
tos Travis Snyder and Travis
dArnaud hit consecutive two-
run doubles off the right-field
fence against Liriano.
Royals 7, Reds 5
SURPRISE, Ariz. Alex
Gordon and Lorenzo Cain
homered and Everett Teaford
pitched three scoreless innings
as Kansas City defeated Cincin-
nati.
Gordons home run to lead off
the fourth snapped a 4-4 tie.
Cain homered to open the fifth.
Teaford struck out four in three
innings to pick up the victory in
relief.
Padres 6, White Sox 3
PEORIA, Ariz. Catcher
Nick Hundley went 3 for 3 with
two RBIs and threw out a run-
ner in San Diegos win over the
White Sox.
Hundley played in just 82
games last season because of an
elbow injury.
Rockies 5, Dodgers 2
GLENDALE, Ariz. Drew
Pomeranz pitched two more
scoreless innings before leaving
with tightness in his right hip
and Colorado beat the Dodgers.
Considered a top prospect,
Pomeranz was acquired by the
Rockies last summer in the
trade that sent Ubaldo Jimenez
to Cleveland. The 23-year-old
left-hander, drafted fifth overall
in 2010, is a projected member
of Colorados rotation this sea-
son after making four starts for
the Rockies last year.

PHILADELPHIA Ilya
Bryzgalov stopped 17 shots for
this third straight shutout and
fourth in five games to lead the
Philadelphia Flyers to a 3-0 win
over the New Jersey Devils on
Tuesday night.
Sean Couturier, Jakub Vora-
cek and Danny Briere scored to
provide the offense.
After an underwhelming start
to the season, Bryzgalov has
dominated of late and proved
worthy of the nine-year, $51
million contract he signed in
June. He stretched his shutout
streak to more than 196 min-
utes and has stopped 152 of 154
shots.
The Devils didnt test him
much, but it might not have
mattered. He went 3-0 last
week with a 0.65 goals-against
average and a .979 save percent-
age in three starts.
Capitals 5, Islanders 4
UNIONDALE, N.Y. Matt
Hendricks scored in the fourth
round of a shootout, and the
Washington Capitals finished
off a dramatic three-goal come-
back in a victory over the New
York Islanders.
Washington trailed 4-1 late in
the second before Alex Ovech-
kin scored in the final minute of
the period. Dmitry Orlov
scored 1:51 into the third to
make it 4-3, and Ovechkin tied
it at 10:15 with his 29th goal.
John Tavares scored twice,
including his career-best 31st
goal, and added an assist, Matt
Moulson netted his 30th of the
season, and defenseman Travis
Hamonic also scored for the
Islanders (28-32-10), who lost
their third straight time in
heartbreaking fashion.
The Capitals (36-28-6) have
won four in a row and lead
ninth-place Buffalo by four
points in the Eastern Confer-
ence playoff race.
Rangers 4, Hurricanes 2
NEW YORK Brad Ri-
chards scored twice and Martin
Biron, a last-minute replace-
ment for Henrik Lundqvist,
made 27 saves as the New York
Rangers beat the Carolina Hur-
ricanes.
New Yorks top line had a
stellar night. Marian Gaborik
also scored and Carl Hagelin
had a goal and assisted on both
of Richards goals as they com-
bined for four goals and nine
points.
The Rangers took advantage
of a soft part in the schedule to
extend their winning streak to
two after having dropped three
in a row. The wins over the
New York Islanders and the
Hurricanes, two teams unlikely
to make the playoffs, followed a
three-game losing streak.
The victory extended the
Rangers lead in the Atlantic
Division to six points over
Pittsburgh.
Lightning 6, Bruins 1
TAMPA, Fla. Steven Stam-
kos scored twice to reach 50
goals this season, and the Tam-
pa Bay Lightning jumped out to
a big early lead and beat the
Boston Bruins.
Tampa Bay scored three
times in the first five minutes
and coasted from there to help
rookie goalie Dustin Tokarski
earn his first NHL victory.
His teammates made it easy
for Tokarski, as Tom Pyatt,
Nate Thompson and Ryan
Shannon scored quickly to ruin
Marty Turcos first start as
Bostons backup goalie.
The Stanley Cup champions
have lost three straight for the
first time since late October
and were limited to two shots
in the opening period, 34 over-
all.
Stamkos scored his 49th goal
in the second period and added
his NHL-best 50th at 11:43 of
the third to move into a tie for
the league scoring lead with
Evgeni Malkin with 84 points.
Panthers 5, Maple Leafs 2
SUNRISE, Fla. Sean Ber-
genheim scored two goals and
the Florida Panthers beat the
Toronto Maple Leafs.
Marcel Goc and Tomas Ko-
pecky had power-play goals in
the third period, Jason Garrison
also scored and Jose Theodore
stopped 26 shots for the Pan-
thers. Bergeneim now has a
career-high 16 goals this season.
Mikhail Grabovski and Tyler
Bozak scored for the Leafs and
James Reimer made 22 saves.
The Panthers remained atop
the Southeast Division, one
point ahead of Washington
which beat the New York Islan-
ders in a shootout.
Stars 1, Wild 0
ST. PAUL, Minn. Jamie
Benns goal early in the third
period and Kari Lehtonens
second consecutive shutout
gave the Dallas Stars their sixth
straight victory.
Benn scored for the third
time in four games to give him
21 this season.
He snagged a rink-wide pass
from Brendan Morrow that
glanced off Wild left wing Ste-
phane Veilleuxs stick and
straight to Benn for the tip-in
with 16:14 remaining.
The Stars havent needed
that long to score lately. The
Western Conferences hottest
team is 10-0-1 in its last 11
games, with seven victories in
regulation.

Bayless scored 20 points, An-
drea Bargnani added 17 and
Toronto slowed Clevelands
playoff push with a 96-88 victo-
ry Tuesday night, the Raptors
third over the Cavaliers this
season.
Bayless started in place of
injured point guard Jose Calde-
ron and added seven assists
while leading the Raptors to
just their 14th win.
The Cavs had their winning
streak stopped at three. Cleve-
land blew a chance to move
into a virtual tie with New York
and Milwaukee for the final
playoff spot in the Eastern
Conference.
Antawn Jamison, who has
been mentioned in trade ru-
mors, led the Cavs with 20
points. Rookie Kyrie Irving
scored 14 and Alonzo Gee 16.
The Cavs were still within
six points in the final minute
when Bargnani rebounded his
own miss and dunked.
Pacers 92, Trail Blazers 75
INDIANAPOLIS Lou
Amundson scored a career-high
21 points to help Indiana beat
the Portland Trail Blazers,
snapping the Pacers four-game
losing streak.
Amundson shot 10 for 11
from the field and grabbed
eight rebounds for the Pacers.
His previous season high in
scoring was 11, but he had 13
points in the fourth quarter
alone.
Paul George, Danny Granger
and George Hill each added 11
points for the Pacers. Hill re-
turned after missing two games
with a sprained left shoulder.
Indiana led by as many as 29
points.
LaMarcus Aldridge scored 17
points and Nolan Smith added
10 for the Trail Blazers, who
shot a season-low 31.3 percent
from the field and made a a
season-low 20 field goals. Por-
tlands five assists were the
fewest by an NBA team this
season.
Magic 104, Heat 98
ORLANDO, Fla. Dwight
Howard had 24 points and 25
rebounds, Jameer Nelson
scored 25 points, including 12
in the fourth quarter and over-
time, and the Orlando Magic
came back to beat the Miami
Heat.
It was the eighth 20-20 game
of the season for Howard and
the 40th of his career.
The Magic overcame a 14-
point, first-half deficit to win
their third straight and fifth in
six games.
Dwyane Wade scored 28
points and Chris Bosh 23 for
the Heat, who had a three-
game winning streak snapped.
LeBron James added 19 points,
11 rebounds and eight assists.
The Heat visit Chicago on
Wednesday in a matchup of the
Easts top teams. Orlando goes
to San Antonio for its final
game before the trade deadline.
Rockets 104, Thunder 103
OKLAHOMA CITY
Courtney Lee and rookie Chan-
dler Parsons each scored 21
points, Patrick Patterson
blocked Serge Ibakas point-
blank putback attempt in the
final 2 seconds, and the Hous-
ton Rockets charged back from
an 11-point deficit in the final 3
minutes to beat the Oklahoma
City Thunder.
Lee drilled a 3-pointer from
the left corner with 15 seconds
left to complete a 13-1 run in
the final minutes for Houston
that was aided by a technical
foul against Oklahoma City

suspended six races.
Knaus appeal was heardbyfor-
mer USAC chairman John Ca-
pels, former Indy Racing League
and Goodyear executive Leo
Mehl and Dale Pinilis, operator
of BowmanGray StadiuminWin-
ston-Salem.
Id say these guys were very
capable people, Hendrick said.
Its just hard to have someone
try to digest everything that you
have to digest in this situation.
Still, Hendrick applauded
NASCARfor allowing an appeals
process.
Fromthe days I started in this
sport, from what I had to deal
with until today, NASCAR has
made tremendous strides, Hen-
drick said. None of us want to
have to go through this, but
sometimes you just disagree, and
this is one of those cases.
The next step for Knaus is a
hearing before John Middle-
brook, who was appointed in
early 2010 as the final judge in
NASCARs appeals process.
Of course, we are disappoint-
ed that the outcome was the way
it was, but were going to go
ahead to the next level and pre-
sent our case one last time, Hen-
drick said. Were just onward
and upward. Well go to Bristol
and try to get (win) No. 200, and
well deal withthis whenthe time
comes.
Middlebrook, who earns $1 a
year in this job, retired in 2008 af-
ter 49years withGeneral Motors.
His first case came in late 2010
when Richard Childress Racing
appealed a championship-crip-
pling 150-point penalty against
Clint Bowyer. Middlebrook did
not reinstate Bowyers points but
reduced crew chief Shane Wil-
sons suspensionfromsixraces to
four, and cut his fine from
$150,000 to $100,000.
Hendrick, a longtime Chevro-
let dealer and partner in NAS-
CAR, vouched for Middlebrook
before the Childress appeal. Hen-
drick, who has known Middle-
brookfor more than20years, was
one of six people who honored
the executive in his 2008 retire-
ment ceremony.
Theres just no agenda with
him. Hes beyond being swayed,
Hendrick said in 2010.
Areductioninraces suspended
is probably the best-case scenario
for Knaus, who has a long record
of testing the patience of the
NASCAR inspectors.
This is his fourth suspension
dating to 2001, the year before he
was paired with Johnson at Hen-
drick Motorsports. A two-race
suspension in 2005 was reduced
on appeal to 90 days probation.
Knaus has actually stayed out
of trouble with NASCAR since
2007, whenhe was suspendedsix
races for flaring out the front
bumpers of Johnsons car at So-
noma. As in this instance, the in-
fraction was caught in a pre-race
inspection. In both cases, Knaus
was allowed to stay at the event
until penalties wereleviedaweek
later.
His long rap sheet has divided
fans. Many view Knaus as an un-
abashed cheater; others see him
as a masterful innovator con-
stantly pushing the limits of
NASCARs rule book.
Knaus said two weeks ago he
doesnt much care what anyone
thinks of him.
As far as my reputation goes,
Im not too concerned about
that, he said. What we want to
do is go out there and do the best
thingwe canfor HendrickMotor-
sports, the best thing for (spon-
sor) Lowes and try to win races
and championships.
He is regarded as one of the
greatest crew chiefs in NASCAR
history, guiding Johnson to a re-
cord five-straight championships
and 53 victories since the two
were paired in 2002. Knaus is not
credited with two other victories
Johnson earned while Knaus was
suspended, including the 2006
Daytona 500.
Knaus had been kicked out of
SpeedWeeks by NASCARin2006
for alterations found on the car
following Johnsons qualifying
lap.
Despite this controversial start
to the season which comes af-
ter Johnson finished a career-
worst sixth in the Sprint Cup
standings last season Knaus
has been determined to keep
Johnson moving toward the front
of the field.

junior point guard Brandon Aus-
tin. Yep, 6-6 and a point guard, al-
though Austin will drop into the
post at times.
Austin, who averages about 11
points, has verbally committed to
Penn State and hell likely be
guarded by a guy who will beat
him to State College by a year
PSU football recruit Eugene Le-
wis.
Lewis will give up some size at
6-3, but his physical play and ath-
letic ability were instrumental in
stopping big men Josh Kosin of
Holy Cross and Mark Wright of
Athens in the past two games.
I like how we match up. Eu-
gene will give up some inches,
Toole said, but he matches up
with himwith athleticism.
Meyers is also worried about
6-2 senior Khyree Wooten, a left-
handed shooting guard who aver-
ages about 16 points and has
drawn some mild Division I inter-
est. Hell be Ryan Krawczeniuks
assignment.
Hes just a tough kid and very
quick to the basket, Toole saidof
Wooten, whoscored23pointsina
60-52 opening-round victory over
Delone Catholic. Those are the
two mainstays we have to stop.
Meyershasbeenazonedefense
teamfor most of theseason. How-
ever, Toole saw something De-
lone Catholic did in its loss to Im-
hotep.
Delone used a box-and-one de-
fense, but not in the traditional
sense where one guy is assigned
to the opponents top player. In-
stead, it shiftedtoconstantlypres-
sure the opponent handling the
ball.
Aside from a disastrous first
quarter where Imhotep led 14-3,
Delone outscored the Panthers
49-44 over the final three quar-
ters.
Toole believed Delone might
have been a little intimidated at
the start. He wants his team re-
laxed, but not as relaxed as Satur-
day when the Mohawks fell be-
hindagainst Athens anddominat-
ed the second half for a 63-42 vic-
tory.
Sometimes mygroupis a little
too loose, Toole said. I think
that might have been part of the
problemonSaturday. I dont want
them so tight because you make
mistakes that way. But I want
themfocused.

About Imhotep: Imhotep is the defending PIAA
Class 2A champion. It has made the state
playoffs every season since the Philadelphia
public schools joined the PIAA for the 2005-06
school year
Imhotep has never lost to a District 2 team,
defeating Meyers 56-33 in the second round last
season, Holy Cross 51-49 in the quarterfinals in
2007-08 and GAR 66-34 in the second round in
2006-07.
The Panthers were knocked out in the second
round in 2005-06 and won the state champion-
ship in 2008-09. They made it to the state
semifinals in the three other seasons.
Imhotep is 178-37 since joining the PIAA. This
season, it has lost two games by two points and
another by three. Its worst loss was 56-36 on
Dec. 28 to District 1 Class 4A unbeaten Chester,
which is widely considered the best team in the
state.
Imhotep is ranked third in the state in Class 2A by
the Harrisburg Patriot-News.

As he left the bus in front of

He then told The Associ-

line with time stopped, and
your teammates are able to
catch their breath with the stop-
page. Thats very important at
this point in the season.
Nanticoke is known for its
outside shooting. The team
made 175 three-pointers this
season 6.5 per game, tops in
the Wyoming Valley Confer-
ence.
But the Trojanettes (297) are
second to Wyoming Valley West
(326) in total free throws made,
and fourth in the WVC in points
per game from the line. They
trail the Spartans, Dallas and
Tunkhannock, all teams with
post players who measure 6-foot
or taller.
Its that ability to get to, and
win games from, the line that
makes the vertically challenged
lineup so dangerous. Nanticoke
averages 56 points per game
and 11 of those come from the
line. Starters Wolfe (69 per-
cent), Kayley Schinski (67) and
Brittany Sugalski (67 percent)
all prove there is no weak link in
the lineup.
When the team couldnt buy a
bucket Saturday against Shamo-
kin, Gow was sure and steady at
the line.
The last couple of games,
Ive been on the line a lot, Gow
said. Last game, my three-
pointers werent falling. But
were not just an outside shoot-
ing team. Were looking for
lanes. We like to spread the
floor out and figure out how we
can drive to the basket.
Gow was also fantastic
against Scranton Prep (making
9-of-10) during the District 2
playoffs, in a game that gave the
Trojanettes their ticket to states.
Brassington made 7-of-9 in a
game in which Nanticoke had
season highs for attempts (33)
and free throws made (25) in a
45-38 victory.
I just like to make contact
with the person defending me
to draw a foul, said Brassing-
ton, who made 7-of-8 in a play-
off game against Lake-Lehman
as well. Once you get into the
flow of the game, you just block
everyone out and play.
Having shot 67 percent in
their last 15 games, the Troja-
nettes are just as dangerous
from the stripe as they are from
the arc. But they know which
line gets all the fanfare and cre-
ates all the excitement.
That shot was just the best
three of our season, Brassing-
ton said of Schinskis game-win-
ning three as time expired dur-
ing the district playoffs against
Valley View, a 43-42 Nanticoke
victory. That was an incredible
way to finish.

The Holy Redeemer girls
swimming team was led by its
sheer depth throughout the
season, propelling itself to a
Wyoming Valley Conference
Southern Division title over a
very balanced Hazleton Area
team and a District 2 Class 2A
crown over a Scranton Prep
squad that should contend for a
state championship.
At the PIAA Class 2A girls
swimming and diving cham-
pionships in Lewisburg, the
Royals will again depend on its
relay teams, clinching spots in
all three team races. Their 200
free relay team offers the areas
best chance at a state gold,
seeded fourth, 1.5 seconds
behind leader Villa Maria Acad-
emy.
Also in 2A, Dallas Sarah
Zerfoss looks to improve upon
her psych sheet listing and her
career-best eighth-place show-
ing at the state event.
All local competitors in the
Class 3A field are ranked in the
bottom three of their respective
races.
Competition begins today
when the Class 3A prelimin-
aries start at 8 a.m. at Bucknell
Universitys Kinney Natatori-
um, continuing into Thursday.
The Class 2A swimming and
diving is slated for Friday and
Saturday. Live streaming of the
2012 swimming and diving
championships will be made
available through PCNs web-
site.
Heres a look at the local
swimmers and divers compet-
ing in the PIAA Championships
today through Saturday:
Class 3A
Felicia Grego, Hazleton Area
The District 2-4 champion in
the 200 IM, Felicia Grego is
seeded 31st in the 200 IM at her
first state meet. Eighteen swim-
mers are grouped within two
seconds of each other; if the
Cougar freshman could chip
four-to-five seconds off her
time, she has potential to make
it to the consolation race Thurs-
day.
Shaina Grego, Hazleton Area
A year ago, Shaina Grego
competed in two different indi-
vidual events the 200 IM and
100 back than she will at this
years state race. The senior is
seeded 31st in both the 200 free
and the 500 free.
Morgan Hanadel, Wyoming
Valley West
Hanadel secured an upset
victory in the 100 fly at the
District 2-4 championships to
lock her first of two regional
titles. The WVW junior is
ranked 31st in the 100 fly and
last in the field in the 100 back.
The 100 fly field is eerily tight
the 14-through-30 spots are
within three-fourths of a second
of each other so a personal
best by Hanadel could bump
her into evening competition.
Wyoming Valley West relay
The bizarre 400 free relay
victory that forced Hazleton
Area and Abington Heights into
a tie for the Class 3A regional
title means that the Spartans
foursome of Kayleigh Fishe,
Alex Plant, Desiree Holena and
Hanadel are seeded 23rd at
states. The Spartans placed
22nd a year ago.
Class 2A
Elizabeth Finnegan, Holy
Redeemer
Its always difficult to gauge
the 50 free, making it very
possible for the Holy Redeemer
junior to make a jump from her
29th position in the field. Case
in point: the fifth-seeded Han-
nah Feucht, of North East, is
within a minute of Mahles best.
Rachel Finnegan, Holy
Redeemer
The Royal sophomore
notched the first of two district
at-large berths in the 100 fly and
is spotted 18th in the race. Her
time of 1:01.29 is in the middle
of the pack, enabling her for a
chance at a consolation finals
swim.
Ashlynn Heller, Hanover Area
The Hanover Area diver
reached the state meet for the
second year. Shes seeded 16th
with a 356 score.
Julie Ann Mahle, Holy
Redeemer
Finishing second in two races
at districts, Mahle earned two
at-large berths to Lewisburg.
The Royal junior looks to top
her seed times and reach the
final swims. She is seeded 18th
in the 200 IM and 26th in the
100 back despite placing 16th
and 15th, respectively, a year
ago.
Mia Nardone, Pittston Area
The Pittston Area freshman
is primed for her first crack at
states with an at-large spot in
the 100 fly. Nardone is tabbed
21st, sporting a 1:01.39 time.
Sarah Zerfoss, Dallas
The three-time diving district
champion looks to medal for
the first time after demolishing
the Class 2A field three weeks
ago. The subjectivity of diving
makes it difficult to predict
PIAAs. However, Zerfoss
412.05 score places her in good
standing at eighth amongst the
field. The Dallas senior finished
eighth at the state meet in 2011.
Holy Redeemer relays
The District 2 Class 2A vic-
tors greatest strength is once
again its relay teams. Elizabeth
and Rachel Finnegan, Mahle
and Melissa Cruz own the
fourth seed in the 200 free
relay. Beth Chmil joins the
Finnegan sisters and Mahle for
the 10th-ranked 200 medley
team. Lucy Reilly, Alexa Kala-
fut, Chmil and Cruz make up
the 22nd-seeded 400 free relay
squad.

ber. The national rate was 3.37 percent.
The local 90-day delinquency rate
was 6.97 percent; nationally it was 7.23
percent.
Both local rates were higher than in
December 2010 and the highest record-
ed by CoreLogic in the past three
years. The national rates declined in
both categories.
State jobless rates fall
The unemployment rate fell in 45
U.S. states in January, a sign that near-
ly all of the country is benefiting from
an improving economy and job market.
The Labor Department said Tuesday
that only New York state reported a
higher unemployment rate in January
than the previous month. Unemploy-
ment rates were unchanged in four
states.
Nevada had the nations highest
unemployment rate in January, at 12.7
percent. California and Rhode Island

NEW YORK Discount air-
line Direct Air, which had offered
flights from Allentown to Fort
Myers, Fla., has suspended
flights for at least two months,
leaving passengers stranded
around the country with little
hope for quick refunds.
The airline abruptly shut down
Monday afternoon at the peak
of the Spring Break travel season
after its apparent failure topay
a fuel bill. Direct Air, based in
Myrtle Beach, S.C., says it will
not fly again until May 15. Ticket
holders were told to contact their
credit card companies for re-
funds.
Direct Airs marketing manag-
er Ed Warneck told The Sun
News newspaper in Myrtle
Beach that the airline missed a
fuel payment andthe supplier cut
it off. That left Direct Air no
choice but to ground its fleet.
In a statement on its website
Tuesday, the airline said it is eval-
uating strategic alternatives for
its business.
Airline consultant Robert
Mann said that even if Direct Air
resumes its flights, it will likely
be under increased government
scrutiny after failing to provide
scheduled service.
It just doesnt seem like it has
the financial wherewithal to sur-
vive, Mann said.
Direct Air serves 17 cities in
theMidwest, East andSouth. It is
unclear howmany travelers were
affected by the shutdown.
Calls to the companys corpo-
rate and reservation numbers
during business hours were an-
swered Tuesday by a recording
stating all agents were busy and
referring callers to the airline
website.

NEW YORK Potential homebuyers
and sellers are growing more confident
that the U.S. real estate market will begin
torecover as soonas next year, according
to a Prudential Real Estate survey.
Sixty percent of people surveyed last
month had positive views about the
housing market and 70 percent expected
property values to improve over the next
two years, according to the survey re-
leased Tuesday. About 63 percent of re-
spondents said they considered real es-
tate a good investment, up from 52 per-
cent last year, the broker reported.
This is the second consecutive year
that consumer confidence inhousinghas
improved, signaling the property market
may finally be climbing out of its deep
hole, said Stephen Van Anden, Pruden-
tials chief marketing officer.
While foreclosures and declining
home prices have contributed to a six-
year real estate slump, rising employ-
ment andlowmortgage rates may be bol-
stering buyer confidence. The Federal
Reserve, in its regional Beige Book busi-
ness survey issuedFeb. 29, saidthe hous-
ing market has improved somewhat in
most districts with Boston, Cleveland,
Atlanta and Dallas among cities report-
ing increases in home sales.
More than 90 percent of respondents
inthe Prudential survey saidthe housing
crisis is a reminder they must be more
cautious in buying and selling property.
About 80 percent of people polled said
homeownership is important to them,
while 15 percent said the economic
downturn made owning a home less im-
portant.
There is still a desire for homeowner-
ship, and as we see continued improve-
ment in the job market, there is going to
be an unleashing of pent-up demand,
Van Anden said.
The 1,251 survey respondents were 25
to 64 years old with a household income
of at least $50,000, and either recently
bought or solda home or are considering
a purchase or sale.
U.S. housing outlook more hopeful

WASHINGTON Retail sales
climbed the fastest in five months in
February, as rising gasoline prices we-
rent enough to choke off U.S. consum-
ers demand for cars, clothing and other
goods, government data showed Tues-
day.
The Commerce Department said
sales rose a seasonally adjusted 1.1 per-
cent from the month before to $407.8
billion, with Januarys retail sales re-
vised higher to show a 0.6 percent ad-
vance instead of the 0.4 percent initially
reported. December sales also were up-
wardly revised to show a 0.3 percent
gain instead of a previously reported
flat performance.
Excluding autos, sales for February
climbed 0.9 percent.
Whenrevisions are included, the data
came in stronger than economists had
anticipated. In the wake of the data,
Goldman Sachs lifted its estimate of
first-quarter GDP to 2 percent from1.8
percent, and other economists also lift-
ed their estimates.
With average prices 20 cents a gallon
higher at the pumpthaninJanuary, gas-
oline stations were expected to have a
banner month, and they did: Monthly
sales jumped 3.3 percent, the best ad-
vance since March 2011.
One reasonwhy consumers may have
continued to spend despite the in-
creased pressure at the pump was the
unusually warmweather, which the En-
ergy Information Administration ex-
pects toknockoff $629fromtheaverage
natural-gas heating bill this winter.
There were some hints of a warm-
weather impact in the retail report. For
the second straight month, dealers of
building materials, garden equipment
and supplies saw a 1.4 percent gain.
Sales at dealers of motor vehicles and
parts bounced back from a January de-
cline to advance 1.6 percent, a gain that
wasnt too big a surprise considering
the monthly unit sales figures already
released by U.S. automakers.

LOOKING GREAT IS JUST ONE OF THE PERKS!!
Personal Training For Everyone
When I frst started at Odyssey Fitness, my intentions were to just do
cardio by using their equipment and taking classes. I wasnt seeing the
results that I thought I should be seeing. So, I set up a meeting with
Owen and had a body assessment completed. I was a little nervous that
day not knowing what to expect, but from the start Owen made me feel
comfortable. That day began my great journey here at Odyssey Fitness.
Since working with Owen, I have lost 12 pounds, my clothes ft better,
I have a lot more energy and theres also been an unexpected outcome
which leads me to my story. For as long as I can remember, I have had a
mid-back pain which limited some of the exercises Owen wanted me to do.
Owen, along with the rest of the training staff attended a conference and
learned some new techniques which they immediately put to use. After he
completed a new assessment which helped identify areas that needed
improvement. Since that time, we have been doing certain stretches and
exercises that have not only helped my balance and strength, but also
decreased my chronic mid back pain! For this, I am truly grateful - Pam W.

Dry and slightly
cooler air is
spreading over
the region this
morning. It has
cleared out the
clouds and the
chance for rain.
Today will feel
more like late
April rather than
March as after-
noon tempera-
tures climb into
the middle and
upper 60s. The
record high for
today is 80
degrees (1990)
and I think that
record is safe.
The warm
weather will
remain in place
through the
week and by the
look of things,
the weekend as
well. The next
chance for some
rain showers
comes late
Thursday night
and Friday. A few
showers will be
possible this
weekend as well,
but we dont
expect much at
this point. Enjoy!

NATIONAL FORECAST: A strong storm system will bring rain and higher elevation snow to northern
California, the Pacic Northwest and the northern Rockies today. Rain and snow may be heavy at
times, especially toward the coast. Another storm system will produce rain and snow showers over
northern New England, while sunshine and warm conditions will be found in the Mid-Atlantic.

MANY FAM-
ILIES celebrate
St. Patricks
Day by cooking
corned beef
and cabbage.
Although this
dish is not
from Ireland, its origins are
Irish.
When the Irish first immigrat-
ed to America, after the Great
Famine, they found corned beef
readily available and affordable.
The Irish took to the meat, and
the Irish American tradition of
cooking corned beef and cab-
bage became a new St. Paddys
Day tradition. I know this is a
dish near and dear to many Irish
American hearts as well as any-
one wearing green and evoking
the spirits of Ireland in the fun,
family-filled celebration.
Im sharing a family recipe of
a traditional Irish American
corned beef and cabbage dinner.
Dont forget to wash it down
with a hearty cup of green beer.
Ingredients:
3 pounds corned beef brisket
10 small red potatoes
5 carrots, peeled and cut into
3-inch pieces
1 large head cabbage, cut into
small wedges
1 teaspoon each of mustard
seeds, peppercorns, juniper ber-
ries, bay leaves, whole cloves, and
red pepper flakes (you can sub-
stitute or add other spice such as
cinnamon, allspice, dill seed ginger,
coriander, mace or cardamom)
Directions:
Place corned beef in large pot or
conventional oven and cover with
water. Add spices, then cover pot
and bring to a boil. Reduce to a
simmer for approximately 45
minutes per pound or until tender.
Add whole potatoes and carrots,
cook them until nearly tender. Add
cabbage and cook for additional 15
minutes. Remove meat and let rest
for 20 minutes.
Put vegetables in a bowl and
cover. Add broth to liking and slice
meat 1/2 inch. thick.

DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER
In honor of St. Patricks Day,
chef Thomas Cook prepared
this dish at the Ramada Hotel
on Public Square in Wilkes-
Barre.
If youre a purist, Irish
stew is one of the easiest
dishes to make for St. Pa-
tricks Day. According to
culinary lore, the only in-
gredients are lamb, pota-
toes, onions and water. Sup-
posedly, adding anything
else clouds the true flavors.
If youre really going to stick
to tradition, all youre al-
lowed to do is dump those
ingredients in a pot (prefer-
ably over an open fire) and
walk away for the day.
The good news is that
making a far more flavorful
stew isnt all that difficult,
and your efforts are rewarded
with a rich, brothy meal with
layers of flavor.
IRISH LAMB STEW

Start to finish: 2 hours (30
minutes active)
Servings: 6
2 pounds lamb stew meat, cut
in 1 1/2-inch pieces
Salt and ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 leeks, white parts only,
sliced
2 medium yellow onions,
chopped
1 pound carrots, cut into 1
1/2-nch pieces
1 pound parsnips, cut into 1
1/2-inch pieces
1 quart vegetable broth
3 bay leaves
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 1/2 pound (24 ounces) new
potatoes
2 tablespoons chopped fresh
parsley
Season the lamb with salt and
pepper.
In a large Dutch oven or
heavy-bottomed pan over medi-
um-high, heat the oil. Working in
batches, add the lamb to the
pan and sear on all sides, mak-
ing sure not to overcrowd the
pan. As each batch is browned,
use a slotted spoon or tongs to
transfer it to a plate.
When all the lamb has been
seared, add it all back to the
pan. Add the leeks, onions,
carrots, parsnips, broth, bay
leaves and thyme. Bring the
mixture to a simmer, then cover
and cook for 1 hour. After 1 hour,
add the potatoes and continue
to cook until the potatoes and
the lamb are tender when
pierced with a fork, about an-
other 30 minutes.
Remove the bay leaves and
thyme stems. Stir in the parsley
and season with additional salt
and black pepper, if needed.

A pot of lamb stew with potatoes, onions and carrots. Making a far more
flavorful stew isnt all that difficult.
Simple Irish stew one savory meal
I
f theres one thing Catholics count on during Lent, its that some-
ones heating up the oil for fish fries.
Its a long and popular tradition for Christians who observe the
pre-Easter season by forgoing meat on Fridays. Of course, you
dont have to be a Christian to love a good fish fry.
Want to fry fish at home so its crisp on
the outside and tender on the inside? Here
are a few pointers from Tim Huber, who
runs the Royal OakFirst UnitedMethodist
Churchs fish fries in Michigan.
Thaw and rinse the fish and pat dry.
Huber says cod, pollock or haddock are
best. Make sure the pieces are about the
same size for even cooking. If you use wal-
leye, lake perch or catfish, Huber advises
to bread, not batter, them. (To bread, dip
the fish in a beaten egg and then in bread
or panko crumbs.)
Preheat the oil (peanut or canola) to350
degrees and maintain that temperature.
The fishwill be greasyif its not uptotem-
perature, Huber says. Fill a large skillet or
deep pot with enough oil to cover fish.
If youre using a wet batter, it should be
the consistency of thin pancake batter.
Start by adding water slowly to the dry
mix. The batter should coat the back of a
spoon or drip off a whisk in a steady
stream. If you use beer instead of water,
it will cause the coating to puff up.
If you like, dredge the fish in seasoned
flour (Huber prefers cracker meal) be-
foredippinginthebatter. It helps thebat-
ter adhere. Shake off the excess flour
first. Use enough seasoning so you can
taste it. (Huber uses Lawrys.)
If youre using only a dry mix, dredge
the fish in it and shake off the excess.
Fry the fish in the hot oil until it is a
deep golden color and crisp, about 5 to 8
minutes, depending on the size of the
pieces. Drain on paper towels.
If youre doinglots of fish, doit outside
S
ure, there are plenty of fish in the sea, but NEPA
seems to love one above others.
Haddock is a comfort food, Rich Costello of Cos-
tellos restaurant in Edwardsville said. People are
comfortable with it; they know its nothing they
havent seen before. There are many things you put
over it that its able to
take the flavor of.
Haddock may be a
basic fish, but that
doesnt mean you
cant dress it up.
Costellos outfits
haddock in spinach,
garlic and fresh moz-
zarella.
When it comes to
fish and cheese, you
need to pick a cheese
that isnt overpower-
ing, Costello said. As for the mozzarella, it not only
has a nice texture when its melted, its tasted only in
the background of the dish.
Dave Colarusso of Colarussos restaurant in Hanov-
er Township, also adds cheese to haddock in a signa-
ture dish he said is a best seller even when its not
Fried fish is a Lenten staple. Heres an array of deep-fried meals by the Tipsy Turtle in
Swoyersville.
You might not want to try this at home. Rich Costellos garlic and spinach haddock topped with fresh mozzarella involves lots of leaping flames.

Lent: Fresh Haddock Zelinda,
named after his grandmother.
Colarusso recommends leav-
ing the butter for last when bak-
ing haddock.
I start with fresh lemon
squeezed over the top of the
fish, then I season it and throwit
in the oven, he said. If you put
the butter on first itll brown
quickly, so wait on it.
Colarusso also recommends
adding a bit of chicken broth or
white wine to the baking dish.
Costello said seafood stock also
would get the job done.
The fish should cook at 400
degrees for about 10 minutes.
As soon as it starts to flake,
pull it out of the oven and drain
most of the liquid from it, then
you can put the melted butter
on and put it back in the oven for
a minute or two, Colarusso
said.
For the Zelinda, Colarusso
adds sauted spinach and fresh
tomato slices, then tops it off
with Swiss cheese.
Local pubs have tried some
creative takes on fish as well.
The Tipsy Turtle in Swoyers-
ville introduced haddock into
its menu through a poboy sand-
wich. Haddock is dipped into a
Cajun batter and fried, then put
on a roll with lettuce, tomato
and mayonnaise.
Another popular Lenten item
at the Turtle is the Tuna Gem
Sandwich.
Some people hear the word
and are unsure, co-owner Ken
Carey said. In this case the tu-
na is the kind you would get in a
can, which is familiar.
The tuna is topped with Old
Bay mayonnaise, roasted red
peppers, fresh mozzarella, let-
tuce and tomato.
Tuna is more of a steak
fish, explained Ken Bond, own-
er/operator of the Pierce Street
Deli in Kingston, which has
Lent covered for lunch. A lot of
people dont know, but the right
way to eat it is rare to medium
rare, like a steak. The tuna
should be a bright pink color.
The longer you cook it, the dark-
er itll get, which you dont want
because then you risk overcook-
ing it.
One of the delis fish-based fo-
cal points is a homemade crab
sandwich platter, called The
Susquehanna, for which Bond
wont divulge the ingredients
except to say, We joke that the
crabs are pulled out of the Sus-
quehanna. What he did share,
though, is the best way to make
sure the lump crab meat stays in
lumps.
When you make a crab cake
you should mix all of the ingre-
dients except the crab together.
After theyre mixed well, then
you can fold the crab meat in. If
you put it in too early it breaks
apart, and whats the point of
buying the big lump crab meat if
its going to be broken down so
much you might not be able to
tell its crab? A lot of people like
those crab chunks in the cakes,
so saving the crab until last is
the way to keep it that way.
Meanwhile, in Trucksville,
spicy is the name of the fish-
cooking game.
The Checkerboard Inn serves
a chipotle-seasoned salmon filet
with balsamic glaze.
Salmon is very easy to work
with, and theres a lot you can do
with it at home, chef/manager
Michael Snyder said. You can
bake it, wrap it in foil and steam
it on the grill. Salmon can be
fishy though, depending on the
cut.
Traditional fish fry remains
popular in NEPA as well.
At the Overbrook Pub and
Grille, a Fishermans Platter
contains haddock, shrimp and
scallops. Frying fish is a simple
task, though there some tricks
help.
Your frying oil should be
fresh and clean, Overbrook
sous chef Neil Dymond said.
The most important thing is to
have tight breading. Any creas-
es in the breading will cause the
inside of the fish to get greasy.
Even though its a fried food,
you dont want a puddle of
grease on your plate.
Sauce is, important, too.
It can be overwhelming and
sometimes dry when biting into
so many pieces of fried food, so
a nice tartar or cocktail sauce
will make all the difference,
Dymond said.

Sinus Relief is Here!
Balloon Sinuplastyis a breakthrough prodecure
that opens sinus passages and helps to relieve the pain
and pressure associated with chronic sinusitis.
Make an appointment TODAY with
Dr. Clerico or Dr. Barras to see if youre a candidate!
If you are one of the more than 37 million Americans
aected by sinusitis annually, relief may be just
around the corner. Balloon Sinuplasty
is a safe and eective procedure for chronic sinusitis
patients who are not responding well to medications
and are seeking a way to open their blocked sinuses
for relief from uncomfortable and painful sinusitis
symptoms. These sinus solutions are now available
as in-Oce procedures which eliminates the need for
surgery and general anesthesia.

Fish-fry mixes in stores
You can make your own fish-
fry batter with flour, seasonings
and, if desired, beer, club soda or
just water. Most of the fish-fry
mixes sold at stores are season-
ed. Here are some commonly
found mixes. Use as directed on
the package or simply dredge the
fish in them and fry away.
Andys Seasoned Breading:
These cornmeal-based products
can be used to bake, broil or fry.
Varieties include Andys Yellow
Breading and Andys Red Bread-
ing, which has Hungarian papri-
ka (not hot), and Cajun and
low-sodium varieties.
Drakes Crispy Frymix: Its the
batter used at many area restau-
rants and fish fries. The mix
consists of flour, salt, cornmeal,
herbs and spices. You can mix it
with water or another liquid
such as beer. Look for the com-
panys signature white duck on
the box.
McCormick Golden Dipt Fish Fry
Seafood Fry Mix: One 10-ounce
package is enough for four
pounds of fish. The product is
made with three different flours
and a special pepper and spice
blend. Mix with water or milk,
and bake or fry fish.
Zatarains Fish Fry Mixes: There
are several varieties, from Cris-
py Southern Seasoned to flavors
such as lemon pepper and gar-
lic. This is mainly a corn flour-
based mix with seasonings.
FRIED PERCH
WITH SWEET COLESLAW
AND TARTAR SAUCE
Serves: 4
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Total time: 1 hour
Oil for deep frying
2 pounds perch fillets (or cod or
haddock)
1 cup Drakes Crispy Frymix (or
favorite fish-fry mix)
3/4 cup cool water (use beer if you
want a puffy crust)
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons Morton Season All
Seasoned Salt
2 teaspoons reduced-sodium Old
Bay seasoning
Tartar Sauce (see note)
Coleslaw (see note)
Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 350
degrees. Rinse and pat dry the fish
fillets. In a bowl, mix together the
Drakes mix and water. The batter
should be like a thin pancake batter.
Set aside.
On a plate, mix together the flour,
Season All and Old Bay seasoning.
When the oil is hot, working in batch-
es, dredge the fish fillets in the flour
mixture, shaking off excess. Dip into
the batter, allowing the excess to drip
off. Place the fish in the hot oil and
fry about six minutes, depending on
the size of the fillets. Remove to
paper towel-lined plate and drain.
Serve with tartar and coleslaw.
Note: To make tartar sauce: Mix 1
cup reduced-fat mayonnaise with 1
tablespoon lemon juice, 2 teaspoons
chopped capers (optional), 1/4 cup
pickle relish and about 1 tablespoon
pickle juice. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped
parsley. Season with salt and pepper
if desired.
Note: To make coleslaw: In a large
bowl, place 2 cups sliced red cab-
bage, 16 ounces packaged coleslaw
mix with carrots, 1 bunch thinly sliced
green onions and 1/2 cup chopped
Italian parsley. In a separate bowl,
mix 16 ounces light slaw dressing with
2 tablespoons cider vinegar, 1 tables-
poon sugar, 2 teaspoons celery seed,
salt and pepper to taste. Stir dressing
into slaw; cover and refrigerate 1 hour
before serving. Taste and adjust
seasoning before serving.

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I am 19
and having an affair
with a married man
twice my age, but
I am an unwilling
participant. You see,
I grew up with Jas-
mine, and over the
years her family has become mine. I
was going through a rough time, and
when her family offered me a place to
stay, I accepted.
They treat me like one of their
own, buy me presents even in-
troduce me as a daughter. However,
after my birthday party, Jasmines fa-
ther came into my bedroom and took
advantage of me. I was scared and
didnt say anything. Over the past few
months, he has sneaked into my room
several times to talk or rub my
back. He always crosses the line, and
Im too afraid to tell him to stop.
I feel sick and guilty when I see
Jasmine or her mother, and Im hurt
and ashamed when I see him. I feel
betrayed and confused. I tell myself I
do it for a place to stay. Is there for-
giveness for me? Please help.
Distraught in the Northwest
Dear Distraught: It appears you
ARE doing it for a place to stay,
and for your own well-being you
need to make other living arrange-
ments and get out of there. You have
been betrayed, and your feelings are
valid. You are not being treated like a
daughter; you are being coerced by a
man with no conscience or compas-
sion. Of course there is forgiveness
for you but first you have to for-
give yourself. Leaving is the first step.
Dear Abby: My boyfriend, Ross,
and I have been together for five
years and have a 2-year-old child. We
talk a lot about marriage and were
engaged kind of. Ross asked me
and I said yes four years ago, but no
one knows were engaged. He bought
me a ring and I have been wearing it.
Nobody has questioned it.
I want to say something about our
plans, but Ross says hes too nervous
and is afraid my parents will be angry.
I am 23 and unemployed. Ross is 24
and has had bad luck with a bunch
of jobs. Our 2-year-old and I live with
my parents. Ross is currently staying
with his grandparents.
I dont want a big wedding and Im
afraid my parents will be mad if Ross
and I start planning ours. How can we
break the news to them?
Timid in Stockton, Calif.
Dear Timid: If your boyfriend is too
nervous to tell anyone about the
engagement, face it youre kind of
NOT engaged. If I were you, Id hold
off making any announcements to
your folks until you have the answers
ready to some questions first, like
where you and Ross plan to live after
the wedding. With your parents? His
grandparents? Who do you expect
will be paying for the wedding youre
planning?
Everyone may have ignored the
significance of the ring youre wear-
ing because neither of you is ready
for marriage.
Good advice for everyone teens
to seniors is in The Anger in All
of Us and How to Deal With It. To
order, send your name and mailing
address, plus check or money order
for $7 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby,

Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Shipping and
handling are included in the price.)
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Teens free place to live unfortunately comes with a very painful cost
To receive a collection of Abbys most memo-
rable and most frequently requested po-
ems and essays, send a business-sized, self-
addressed envelope, plus check or money
order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear
Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box 447, Mount Mor-
ris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You
get the sense that your talent
and skills are being used in the
wrong way. Pull back to get per-
spective. Nothing good comes of
forcing yourself into a situation
to please those around you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The
latest research suggests that
improving your weaknesses,
while noble in intent, may very
well be a waste of time. Finding
out your strengths will make you
more effective.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You
carry a question around with
you now. Your mind will find a
way to answer it. Believing this
will help to relieve the degree of
anxiety that goes along with not
knowing.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Youll
be excellent at motivating your-
self. Time pressures can really
work for you now. Youll excel
with the creative tension that
happens when youre close to a
deadline.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Self-
discipline isnt fun. In fact, it can
be quite uncomfortable, which
is why many people dont have
as much of it as they want. But
youd rather suffer the discom-
fort of self-discipline than regret.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Steer
clear of dented cars because
they show their history of colli-
sion. Similarly, be wary of people
who talk of old battles and of
being victimized.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Youre a
splendidly expressive conversa-
tionalist. So what if some of the
things you say dont come out
quite right? What counts is that
you are contributing.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Determination and resolve will
pay off, though it would be
nice not to feel that life is an
uphill battle. Everything you do
shouldnt require such a great
deal of energy.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Ideas bounce around in your
head, and you want so badly to
be able to pursue each one to its
natural conclusion. But you cant.
You have to prioritize.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You
may value someones opinion
and still not agree with it. Youll
run into a case or two like this
today. The important thing is to
stay humble.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You
want to spend time playing with
your loved ones and creating fun
memories. Remember that work-
ing together builds a bond, too
maybe one thats even more
powerful than leisure-time glue.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Sudden
changes are around the corner.
In order to get ready, build up
your strength, flexibility and
stamina. This calls for exercise,
reading and extreme self-care.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (March 14).
People are only as young as
their dreams. Yours happen to
be particularly youthful, lofty
and colorful and extremely pos-
sible. There will be a surprise
twist in April that sends you in a
new direction. Friends, allies and
partners help you with an impor-
tant project from May through
July. Refreshing domestic reno-
vations happen in August. Leo
and Virgo people adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 40, 7, 1,
33 and 18.
