WILKES-BARRE First im-
pressions are important.
Thats why the city applied for
a grant to improve the exterior
appearance of homes along the
citys gateway streets.
The Department of Communi-
ty and Economic Development
announced last week the city will
get $225,000 for the Gateway Fa-
ade Improvement Project, with
the goal to improve some 50
homes at a maximum of $5,000
each.
The money is part of some
$12.2 million in gaming tax reve-
nue that will be used to fund 19
projects in Luzerne County.
The city modeled this faade
program after the federal Elm
Street program that saw 72
homes improved at a $250,000 in-
vestment, said Mayor Tom
Leighton. To the best of my
knowledge, this is a unique pro-
gram for the gaming funds. The
city hopes to grow this program

KABUL, Afghanistan A report released Sat-
urday by two rights groups says the U.S. sent
some detainees to Afghan prisons where torture
was found despite an announced moratorium on
such moves.
The report by the Afghan In-
dependent HumanRights Com-
mission and the New York-
based Open Society Institute
suggests that Afghanistans in-
ternational allies are still failing
to ensure that people captured
onthe battlefieldare treatedhu-
manely despite a massive re-
form program in recent
months.
NATO forces regularly hand
Afghans that they have cap-
tured over to Afghan authorities after they have
decided that the detainees are no longer an im-
mediate threat. But the coalition stopped such
transfers to16 Afghan detention facilities shortly
before a U.N. report was issuedinSeptember that

West Pittston Tomorrow, organized
with help from the Federal Emergency
Management Agency, is holding a
second town meeting to discuss the
results at 7 p.m. Monday at St. Cecilias

ing the data and preparing a plan for
West Pittston. There are dozens of
projects under six categories to sift

WILKES-BARRE A childrens book
written in Swahili and illustrated by
children of Karagwe, Africa was read at
the Osterhout Free Library Friday.
Linda Winkler,
Ph.D., dean of Art,
Humanities and Sci-
ence at Wilkes Uni-
versity, developed
and wrote the book,
named Adelina
about an African
child whose parents
died from AIDS.
The book teach-
es children that they can grow up to
have impactful lives despite the loss of
their parents, Winkler said.
The book was later translated into
Swahili.
Swahili is the native language of Ka-
ragwe, Tanzania, an East African coun-
try Winkler first visited while working
as a study abroad coordinator for the
University of Pittsburgh in 2002.
The village is located in a part of Afri-
ca where nearly
1,300 children from
birth to 17 years old
are orphaned by
AIDS each year, ac-
cording to a 2009
UNICEF report.
While education-
al materials on the
subject were availa-
ble, Winkler said,
they were only available in English.
Theyhadabsolutelynothingfor chil-
dren in Swahili, she said.
So Winkler began applying for grants
in order to help the community.
In 2005, she was able to develop the
book as part of a Research Abroad Pro-
gram grant provided to her by the Uni-
versity of Pittsburgh, where she was an
anthropology and biological science
professor at the time.
After the book was translated to Swa-

PITTSTON Sharon Dutkevitch has
been fighting for nearly five years to get
her learning-disabled son the education
she says he needs to succeed in life.
This week she expects to find out if
her legal challenge still has hope.
After two Pennsylvania courts dismis-
sed lawsuits Dutkevitch filed in an at-
tempt to enroll her son in a vocational
school, the 52-year-old mother is hoping
the U.S. Supreme Court will hear her
case.
The high court held a conference on
Friday to discuss what cases they will
rule on next, and it is expected to issue a
ruling as early as Monday. Dutkevitchs
appeal was among those being consid-
ered.
Dutkevitch, whose son Vincent is now
21, says the $75,000 in monetary damag-
es she seeks in the suit will help her son
now that he is out of
school, facing college
loans andtrying to find
employment, while a
ruling by the countrys
highest court will ben-
efit other families hop-
ing to give their dis-
abled children a
chance to learna trade.
Im hoping and Im
praying, Dutkevitch
said of the four votes
needed from U.S. Su-
preme Court judges for
the court totake onher
case.
Dutkevitchs legal
battle with Pittston Ar-
ea School District and
West Side Area Vo-Tech began in Sep-
tember 2007 when she sued the schools
after they would not allow her son, she
alleged, to take classes at the vo-tech
while enrolled in the PA Cyber Charter
School.
Dutkevitch explained her son was re-
ceiving special education courses
through the cyber school and wanted to
enroll incomputer courses at thevo-tech
so that he could learn a trade and obtain
employment.
But Dutkevitch said the vo-tech,
whichhas sincebeenrenamedWest Side
Career and Technology Center, and Pitt-
ston Area would not allow her to obtain
an application, violating the Rehabilita-
tionAct andAmericans withDisabilities
Act. Her son, Dutkevitch said, suffers
fromattention deficit/hyperactivity dis-
order, mild Aspergers syndrome and
had suffered a fractured skull and brain
injury after a skateboarding accident in
May 2004.
.
The U.S. District Court of the Middle
District of Pennsylvania granted a mo-
tion to dismiss Dutkevitchs lawsuit af-

with the sights and sounds of
19 female competitors of the
Northeastern Pennsylvania

The program distinguishes
itself in that it is not based
strictly on beauty or outward
appearance, but instead on
building confidence and char-
acter, making friends and hav-
ing fun.
We are excited to be intro-

NANTICOKE The Relay for Life
South Valleys Walking Divas team is
sponsoring a Zumbathon in the gym-
nasium at Luzerne County Communi-
ty College on Saturday.

ting in the colleges second annual Re-
lay for Life, which will be held from10
a.m. June 24 to10 a.m. June 25. Money

lay for Life will benefit the American
Cancer Society.
Zumba, the Spanish slang for buzz
like a bee or move real fast, is an aer-
obic dance class set to Latin American
music beats. The hot dance craze be-
gan in the mid-1990s when Columbian
fitness instructor Alberto Beto Perez
realizedat the start of one of his classes
that he forgot to bring his usual music.
Frantically, he dug through his bag and
pulled out some salsa and meringue
tapes he liked to dance to. The rest is
history.
Six instructors fromarea fitness cen-
ters will lead the Zumbathon in alter-
nating half-hour sets. Participants will
have the chance to win gift baskets and
door prizes, including daily passes for
local fitness centers, said Machelle
Smith, captain of the Walking Divas
team and College Relations secretary.
Our goal is to raise $2,500, she
said.
The Zumbathon is open to all ages
and skill levels.
Its fast-moving, but a lot of fun,
saidSmith, whoattends a twiceweekly
Zumba class at the college with her co-
workers. We laugh the whole time be-
cause were trying to keep up with the
20- or 30-something instructors, and
most of us are in our 50s.

Prez was Obama for a day
H
is jacket was only moss green but
his pint was true Guinness.
President Barack Obama tilted back
a glass of the dark Irish brew Saturday,
observing St. Patricks Day at a boister-
ous Irish pub with his ancestral cousin
from Moneygall, Ireland, at his side.
At the White House, the main South
Lawn Fountain burbled green water.
Nearby, workers prepared for a visit
Tuesday by the Irish Prime Minister
Enda Kenny.
The first family was putting on its
Irish, a blood line that runs through
Obamas veins.
Obama took his motorcade to the
Dubliner Restaurant and Pub on a
dazzling Saturday afternoon. He wore
no Kelly green but his jacket was
pierced with a button that read, VIP
GUEST Tell em Danny sent you.
The president waded into a crowd
some in leprechaun hats and others in
dyed green hair at the entrance of
the tavern near Washingtons landmark
Union Station.

Demjanjuk dies at 91
John Demjanjuk was convicted of
being a low-ranking guard at the Sobi-
bor death camp, but his 35-year fight
on three continents to clear his name
a legal battle that had not yet ended
when he died Saturday at age 91
made him one of the best-known faces
of Nazi prosecutions.
The conviction of the retired Ohio
autoworker in a Munich court in May
on 28,060 counts of being an accessory
to murder, which was still being ap-
pealed, broke new legal ground in
Germany as the first time someone was
convicted solely on the basis of serving
as a camp guard, with no evidence of
involvement in a specific killing.
It has opened the floodgates to hun-
dreds of new investigations in Germa-
ny, though his death serves as a re-
minder that time is running out for
prosecutors.
TRIPOLI, LIBYA
Ghadafis chief arrested
Mauritania on Saturday arrested
Moammar Ghadafis former intelli-
gence chief, accused of attacking civil-
ians during the uprising in Libya last
year and the 1989 bombing of a French
airliner. The International Criminal
Court, France and Libya all said they
want to prosecute Abdullah al-Senous-
si.
Mauritanias state information agen-
cy said in a statement that al-Senoussi
was arrested at the airport in the cap-
ital Nouakchott upon arrival from the
Moroccan city of Casablanca. It said he
was carrying a fake Malian passport.
A spokesman for Libyas ruling Na-
tional Transitional Council, Mo-
hammed al-Hareiz confirmed that the
ex-intelligence chief had been captured
by Mauritian officials.
As Gadhafis regime crumbled in the
second half of 2011 after more than four
decades of rule, many of the dictators
inner circle fled from advancing rebels
toward the Sahara.

has died. He was in his 80s.
Chaleo died of natural causes in
Bangkok on Saturday, according to
local media reports and state television
broadcaster, MCOT, which cited the
Thai Beverage Industry Association.
Forbes magazine, which ranked
Chaleo the 205th richest man in the
world this year with a net worth of $5
billion dollars, said he was 80 years old.
Thai media outlets cited his birthdate
as Aug. 17, 1923, indicating he was 88.

DAMASCUS, Syria Two suicide
bombers detonated cars packed with
explosives innear-simultaneous attacks
on heavily guarded intelligence and se-
curity buildings in the Syrian capital
Damascus Saturday, killing at least 27
people.
There have been a string of large-
scale bombings against the regime inits
stronghold of Damascus that suggest a
dangerous, wild-card element in the
year-oldanti-government revolt. There-
gime blamed the opposition, which de-
nied having a role or the capabilities to
carry out such a sophisticated attack.
Andafter other similar attacks, U.S. offi-
cials suggested al-Qaida militants may
be joining the fray.
Al-Qaidas leader called for President
Bashar Assads ouster in February.
The early morning explosions struck
the heavily fortified air force intelli-
gence building and the criminal securi-
ty department, several miles apart in
Damascus, at approximately the same
time, the Interior Ministry said. Much
of the facade of the intelligence building
appeared to have been ripped away.
State-run news agency SANA said a
third blast went off near a military bus
at the Palestinian refugee camp Yar-
mouk in Damascus, killing the two sui-
cide bombers.
The first explosion around 7 a.m. tar-
geted the air force intelligence building
in the residential district of al-Qassaa, a
predominantly Christianarea. It caused
destruction in a 100-yard radius.
State TV aired gruesome images of
the scene, with mangled and charred
corpses, bloodstained streets and twist-
ed steel.
It carried interviews with the wound-
ed in the hospital.
Is this the assistance promised by
Qatar and Saudi Arabia? asked one of
the injured.
The two Gulf powerhouses have been
fiercely critical of the Syrian govern-
ments crackdown on dissent and have
been discussing military aid to the re-
bels.

WASHINGTON Death, tax-
es and now health insurance?
Having a medical plan or else
paying a fine is about to become
another certainty of American
life, unless the Supreme Court
says no.
People are split over the wis-
dom of President Barack Oba-
mas healthcare
overhaul, but
they are nearly
united against
its requirement
that everybody
have insurance.
The mandate is
intensely un-
popular even
though more
than8in10peo-
ple in the Unit-
ed States al-
ready are covered by workplace
plans or government programs
such as Medicare. When the in-
surance obligation kicks in, not
even two years from now, most
people wont need to worry or
buy anything new.
Nonetheless, Americans dont
like beingtoldhowtospendtheir
money, not even if it would help
solve the problem of the nations
more than 50 million uninsured.
Can the government really tell
us what to buy?
Federal judges have come
down on both sides of the ques-
tion, leaving it to the Supreme
Court to sort out.

WASHINGTONAfter a fewmonths
of relative peace on the budget front,
Democrats and Republicans are readying
for a party-defining, election-year fight.
The focus this week will be on the con-
servative-dominated House, where the
Budget Committee chairman, Rep. Paul
Ryan, R-Wis., is fashioninga sequel tolast
years Path to Prosperity manifesto.
The debate gives Re-
publicans a chance to
show how they would
tackle out-of-control
budget deficits and rein
in the cost and scope of
government.
President Obamas
spending blueprint for
the budget year that begins Oct. 1 calls
for tax hikes on wealthier earners and
modest spending curbs, but doesnt ad-
dress Medicare and Medicaid costs.
Last years GOP measure proposed re-
placing Medicare fee-for-service pay-
ments to doctors and hospitals with a
voucher-like program in which the gov-
ernment would subsidize purchases of
health insurance on the private market.
Democrats said the subsidies would
not keep up with inflation in medical
costs and would shift costs to older peo-
ple. The uproar was an important factor
in a special election in which Democrats
seized a longstanding GOP-held House
seat in New York. Republicans showed
less enthusiasm for the plan after that.
Ryan has since come out with a less
stringent version of the measure, with
Sen. RonWyden, D-Ore., that wouldkeep
the traditional Medicare fee for service
program as an option along with private
insurance plans. It features more realistic
inflationincreases, andless resultingsav-
ings for the government, than last years
measure.

VATICAN CITY The Vatican has
launched an internal, criminal investi-
gation into the leaks of confidential
documents that alleged corruption and
financial mismanagement and exposed
power struggles among Holy See offi-
cials, a Vatican prelate said Saturday.
In addition, Pope Benedict XVI him-
self has set up a special commission to
shed light on the so-called Vatileaks
scandal because he was so distressed
by the disloyalty shown by those
who leaked the memos, Monsignor An-
gelo Becciu, undersecretary in the Vat-
icans Secretariat of State, told the Vat-
ican newspaper LOsservatore Roma-
no.
The scandal and the rare threat to
punish the perpetrators within the Vat-
icans own legal system of criminal and
administrative sanctions has come
at an exceedingly delicate time for the
Vatican, which is seeking to win Eu-
ropean approval for its efforts to ensure
its finances are transparent and that its
laws to fight money laundering and
terror financing meet international
norms.
Leaks of memos alleging corruption
in the awarding of Vatican contracts,
mismanagement in the Vaticans fi-
nances, infighting and disputes over
the Vaticans new anti-money launder-
ing efforts havent helped the bid.

ter a request by Pittston Area and
the vo-tech, ruling Dutkevitch
cannot claim a violation of the
Rehabilitation and Americans
withDisabilities acts because she
did not meet criteria to do so.
The court also said neither
Pittston nor the vo-tech school
owed any legal obligation to Vin-
cent because they were not his
Local Education Agency under
the Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act.
Therefore, the charter school
was tasked with providing Vin-
cent with a free appropriate pub-
lic education the court said.
An appeal of that ruling to the
U.S. Appeals for the ThirdCircuit
was made, andthat court alsodis-
missed Dutkevitchs lawsuit.
In a March 5 filing to the U.S.
Supreme Court, Dutkevitch
asked to be permitted to file addi-
tional court papers with the
Third Circuit, even though they
dismissed her case.
It is illogical and against the
Pennsylvania authorities to re-
quire enrollment as a prerequi-
site to obtaining vo-tech applica-
tions, especially when the resi-
dent school district already in-
formed us that Vincent was not
getting vo-tech applications be-
cause he was unqualified, Dut-
kevitch said.

idea.
My students and I put togeth-
er a plan and went to the schools
and we solicited drawings from
the children, she said.
Those drawings would come
to fill the pages of Winklers first
book.
We wanted to show the chil-
dren that through support from
the community, they dohave a fu-
ture, she said.
The book teaches childrenthat
they can growup to have impact-
ful lives despite the loss of their
parents.
Once printed, copies were dis-
tributed for free to the village.
At the book reading on Friday,
Winkler was joined by visiting
African scholar Rael Sospateri.
Anative of Karagwe, Sospateri
has been in the U.S. for the past
three months teaching anthro-
pology at Wilkes.
In Karagwe, Sospateri holds a
vital roleas aneducator at theKa-
ragwe Secondary School, where
she teaches children English as
well as Swahili.
She is one of only a fewwomen
in Tanzania who have earned
both a diploma and university de-
gree, possessing degrees fromBi-
timbas Teachers College andthe
University of Dar es Salaam.
Copies of the book were sold
for $5, with proceeds benefiting
Embrace a Child a campaign
to benefit Tanzanian children or-
phaned by AIDS.
Winkler said she plans to re-
turn to Karagwe in June for the
11th consecutive year.

The owner of The Times Lead-

FreedomCommunications Inc.
The Wall Street Journal Thurs-
day reported Versa Capital Man-

withFreedomabout buyingsome
of the companys newspapers in
the Midwest.
On Saturday, speaking on be-
half of Versa, Rivian Bell of the
communications firm Abernathy
MacGregor GroupInc. inLos An-
geles declinedtocomment onthe
report.
Versa, a Philadelphia private
equity firm, earlier this month
bought Impressions Media,
which operates The Times Lead-
er and other local publications.
The terms of the deal were not
disclosed.
Versa also owns Ohio Commu-
nity Media, whichincludes news-

Street Journal, Freedomhas been
negotiations with prospective
buyers of most of its 24 daily
newspapersinFlorida, NorthCar-
olina, Texas and other states.
However, it was unclear wheth-
er the Orange County Register,
the best-known of Freedoms
newspapers, was included in the
subject of discussions, according
to The Wall Street Journal.
Since emerging from Chapter
11 bankruptcy protection nearly
two years ago, Freedom has sold
two daily newspapers in New
Mexico and agreed to sell eight

in the years to come and use
this pilot program as a spring-
board to other similar neigh-
borhood improvement initia-
tives.
The program
would target the
main gateways that
run through the city
connecting neigh-
borhoods both to
the downtown and
to major routes and
highways that con-
nect the city to oth-
er municipalities
and interstate high-
ways. Eligible
streets include
Blackman Street,
Carey Avenue, Coal Street,
East Main Street, Northampton
Street, North Main Street,
North Washington Street, Riv-
er Street, Scott Street and
South Main Street.
Leighton said the incentive-
based programto help build the
tax base and improve the make-
up of the most heavily traf-
ficked roadways in the city.
Leighton said state Rep. Ed-
die Day Pashinski, D-Wilkes-
Barre, and Sen. John Yudichak,
D-Plymouth Township, were
strong advocates for the project
in Harrisburg.
Pashinski said
great strides have
been made in revi-
talizing Wilkes-
Barre and the fa-
ade improvements
will offer a positive
and welcoming im-
age for residents
and visitors alike.
When the econo-
my of downtown
Wilkes-Barre is
thriving, it is good
for property values,
its good for business, and every
resident benefits, he said.
Greg Barrouk, the citys eco-
nomic development coordina-
tor, originally conceived the
program. Barrouk said he was
looking for ways to improve the
citys housing stock. With more
than 14,000 people working
downtown, Barrouk said its
imperative to improve the way
properties look on the citys
main arteries.
If we want to attract those
commuters to move into our
neighborhoods, we have to im-
prove the homes they pass ev-
ery day, Barrouk said. This is
only the beginning. We hope to
move further into the neighbor-
hoods over the coming years.
With a down economy, proper-
ty owners are finding it difficult
to invest in their homes; this
programwill help themdo that.
While this program targets
gateways of the city, Leighton
feels it could easily be adapted
to other areas, including blocks
that immediately surround city
schools or used to systematical-
ly rehab housing options in ev-
ery neighborhood.
The faade program would
help entice new employers and
employees to consider relocat-
ing their residences and fam-
ilies into the city, which would
continue to foster the growth of
a diverse community, Leight-
on said.
The grant funds will allow
the city to help property own-
ers make improvements that
may be difficult to afford in the
current sluggish economic cli-
mate.
When people are trying to
pay bills and put food on the ta-
ble for their children, they are
not considering investing thou-
sands of dollars into the exte-
rior of their homes, Leighton
said. Most, if not all, home-
owners recognize these im-
provements as necessary, but
not financially justified.
HOMES
Homes along Northampton Street in Wilkes-Barre. The city will get $225,000 for Gateway Faade
Improvement Project, with goal of improving some 50 homes at maximum of $5,000 each.

found evidence of torture at those pris-
ons.
The report documents 11 recent,
credible cases in which detainees said
they were captured by U.S. personnel,
then transferred to an Afghan facility in
Kandahar where U.N. investigators had
found evidence of torture.
The transfers happened after July,
when NATO and U.S. forces stopped
sending detainees to the facility because
of torture concerns, the report said.
U.S. military officials could not imme-
diately be reached for comment, but are
cited in the report as saying that there
are no NATO or U.S. military forces
transferring detainees to the facility,
which is operated by the National Direc-
torate of Security, or NDS the Afghan
intelligence service.
There is compelling evidence that at
least some U.S. forces or personnel con-
tinue to transfer individuals to NDS
Kandahar despite not only a widely ac-
knowledged risk of torture but also evi-
dence that detainees transferred to NDS
Kandahar by U.S. forces have been sub-
jected to torture, according to the re-
port.
Interviews with detainees and U.S. re-
sponses to queries suggest that there
may be U.S. forces or personnel, perhaps
including C.I.A. or other U.S. intelli-
gence officials, operating outside of
these commands andwhohave detained
people and sent them to the supposedly
banned facilities, the report said.
A U.S. embassy spokesman said that
American officials had not yet received a
copy of the report.
We have not seen the report, and so
cant comment, spokesman Gavin
Sundwall said.
The report which also details
abuse at nine Afghan intelligence ser-
vice facilities and several prisons oper-
resume transfers.
NATO officials have said that Afghan
authorities at first rejected any accusa-
tions of abuse but have since worked
with NATO on the reforms.
Saturdays report, called Torture,
Transfers, and Denial of Due Process,
names a number of facilities that were
not flagged in the United Nations re-
port. But the facility that receives the
most criticism is the NDS Kandahar fa-
cility, where the report say there has also
been recent evidence of beatings and be-
ing shocked with electric cables.
Monitors received 10 credible allega-
tions of abuse in NDS Kandahar as re-
cently as January 2012, the report said.
ated by the Afghan police was based
on interviews with more than 100 detai-
nees between February 2011 and Janu-
ary 2012, along with interviews with
lawyers, legal aid workers, detention fa-
cility officials and government represen-
tatives, the authors said.
The U.N. report issued in September
found evidence of torture at 16 Afghan
detention facilities.
Since then, NATO has started an in-
tensive program of inspections and
trainings at the flagged prisons, and has
resumed prisoner transfers to 12 of the
facilities that it says have instituted re-
forms. The Kandahar facility is one of
the four that have not been approved to

CHICAGO Chicago dyed its river
green, bagpipes sounded on New Yorks
5thAvenue, andinGeorgia, crowds wait-
ed for 30 minutes to buy beer for break-
fast before watching Savannahs 188-
year-oldSt. Patricks Day parade.
Thousands gathered Saturday morn-
ing along the Chicago River, some in
shamrock-shaped sunglasses and others
dressed as leprechauns with strap-on or-
ange beards. Applause erupted as a mo-
tor boat sped in circles and a man on
board dumped a secret dye in the water,
turningit apsychedelicgreeninjust min-
utes. The much-loved, annual ritual offi-
ciallykickedoff adayof parades andwild
parties.
This year, the guest of honor was Irish
Prime Minister Enda Kenny, who took
part in the parade of floats, traditional
Irish dancers and musicians marching
along an avenue near Chicagos lake-
front. Inthemorning, Kennyappearedat
City Hall with Mayor Rahm Emanuel,
and both men sported green ties and
shamrocks intheir lapels.
The prime minister saidhe was honor-
edtotakepart inChicagosfestivitiesand
praisedthe city witha large Irishpopula-
tionforbeingsoopenandreceptivetoim-
migrants.
Its a real privilege for me, as leader of
my country, to come to Chicago on this
St. Patricks Day 2012 and participate in
the parade, Kenny said. And thats a
privilege that I shall remember for a long
time.
In Savannah, revelers set out folding
chairs before dawn, and by the time the
parade kicked off about 10 a.m. in Geor-
gias oldest city, they were piled three-
deeponthesidewalks. Linesof thirstypa-
trons werespillingout of downtownbars
before the pre-parade Mass wrapped up
at the Cathedral of St. Johnthe Baptist.
Its ridiculous for still being in the
a.m., said Timmy Watkins, a utility
worker from neighboring Rincon, who
emerged from Pinkie Masters Lounge
withabeer ineachhandafter standingin
line for 30 minutes. These are both
mine. I waited in line long enough. I fig-
uredIdget two.
Started in 1824 by settlers who immi-
grated to the Georgia coast, the St. Pa-

In New York, a sea of green, kilts and
bagpipes flowed along 5th Avenue as big
crowds gathered for the citys 251st an-
nual Saint Patricks Day Parade.
Cardinal Timothy Dolan, leader of the
citys Roman Catholics, announced be-
fore the parade steppedoff that iconic St.
Patricks Cathedral would undergo a
$175 millionrenovation.

HARRISBURG For the first
time in more than 30 years,
theres a chance that Republi-
cans in Pennsylvania will have a
hand in deciding who will be the
partys presidential nominee.
But it may not necessarily hap-
pen by pushing a button beside
the name of Mitt Romney, Rick
Santorum, New Gingrich or Ron
Paul in a polling booth.
Thats because Pennsylvania is
in a select group of states where
party rules allow convention del-
egates to cast their vote on the
convention floor for whomever
they want, regardless
of who wins the states
presidential primary
election.
Thats why Pennsyl-
vanias April 24 pri-
mary election is what
many call a beauty
contest, while the real
battle may come down
to which presidential candidate
is the most successful in getting
his supporters on the states pri-
mary ballot as convention dele-
gates.
This year, Romney is on the
path to win the required 1,144
delegates in June unless Santo-
rum is able to prevent him from
clinching the nomination before
the GOPs national convention in
Tampa in late August.
If Santorum is successful,
Pennsylvanias statewide pri-
mary vote may become less im-
portant than who goes to the
convention as delegates to cast
votes for a Republican nominee
to challenge Democratic Presi-
dent Barack Obama in the fall
general election.
In Pennsylvania, theoretically
you can get 100 percent of the
votes and end up with zero dele-
gates, said state Sen. Jake Cor-
man, a Santorum supporter who
is running as a delegate in the
5th Congressional District in
northern Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania has
72 delegates the
fifth most in the na-
tion this year. Of
those, 59 will be elect-
ed on April 24, 10 will
be appointed by the
party and three are
automatically seated
becaause they hold
certain top state offices. The par-
tys 358-member state commit-
tee hasnt voted to back a candi-
date, and Gov. Tom Corbett, a
Republican, isnt revealing who
hes supporting.
In most presidential election
years, theres a strong favorite to
be the Republican standard-bear-
er before Pennsylvanias primary
arrives. But this year, the people
who will represent Pennsylva-
nias 72 delegate votes could
have outsized influence if the
contest comes down to a dele-
gate fight at the convention.
They could even play kingmaker.
It would allow us to be nim-
ble, said Lowman Henry, a dele-
gate candidate, state party com-
mittee member and former Dau-
phin County commissioner. Its
real hard to say right now be-
cause so much of it is specula-
tive. It would depend upon the
circumstances that exist at the
time of the convention.
In the primary, 180 candidates
are vying for the 59 elected dele-
gate slots. The delegate candi-
dates include state committee
members, fundraisers and cur-
rent and former congressmen.
Each presidential candidate
has committed backers running
for delegate slots. Some of the
delegate candidates are screened
by local party committees. Other
candidates, like Ana Puig of the
Kitchen Table Patriots in the 8th
Congressional District in subur-
ban Philadelphia, are running
undecided.
If the popular vote goes for
someone who I do not person-
ally think has a chance to beat
Barack Obama, I can be persuad-
ed to vote for someone else,
Puig said.
Corman, an old friend of San-
torums, said he will support the
candidate who wins the popular
vote in his congressional dis-
trict, and hopes that others will
do the same in their congression-
al districts.
For now, it remains to be seen
how much time and money the
presidential candidates will
spend in Pennsylvania.
There are three weeks be-
tween a slate of three April 3 pri-
maries and April 24, when Penn-
sylvania, New York, Connecti-
cut, Delaware and Rhode Island
hold presidential primaries.
Three candidates can lay spe-
cial claim to Pennsylvania. Paul
and Gingrich were born in Penn-
sylvania, and Santorum repre-
sented the state in Congress.
Santorum also can point to a
poll that shows he has an edge in
Pennsylvanias primary. A Quin-
nipiac University telephone poll
of 508 registered Republicans
over six days through March 12
found that Santorumheld a solid
lead over the others in a four-way
race.
It is possible that Santorums
perceived edge will persuade
Romney to spend his time and
money campaigning in the other
four states, where the election
result binds most delegates, said
pollster and political science pro-
fessor G. Terry Madonna of Fran-
klin & Marshall College.
But, some campaign strate-
gists and pollsters say Pennsyl-
vanias primary vote will have
symbolic significance beyond
the delegates.
I think this is about momen-
tum and showing that your cam-
paign is going in the right direc-
tion, said Michael Barley, the
state GOPs executive director.
When you get to Pennsylvania
with so much at stake for so
many candidates, it would be im-
possible for a candidate to take a
pass here.

ELECTION
HOLLIDAYSBURG, Pa.
Opening statements are sched-
uled Monday in the double-mur-
der trial of anIraq war veteranac-
cused of having killed two people
during a west-central Pennsylva-
nia sandwich shop robbery al-
most three years ago.
Prosecutors have said they
plan to seek the death penalty if
31-year-old Nicholas Horner, of
Altoona, is convicted of first-de-
gree murder.
Prosecutors say he robbed an
Altoona sandwich shop in April
2009, killinga clerkandthengun-
ning down another man a short
distance away.
Defense attorneys say his com-
bat-inducedpost-traumatic stress
disorder kept himfromforming a
legal intent to kill. During jury
selection, defense attorney Tho-
mas Dickey saidthe lawpunishes
an evil mind differently from a
sick mind.
Prosecutors argue that Horner
went there to rob the restaurant
and opened fire intending to kill
his victims.

You never said
Im Leaving, you never
said Goodbye.
You were gone before
we knew it, and only God
knows why.
A million times we needed
you: A million times we
cried. If love alone could
have saved you, you never
would have died. In life we
loved you dearly, in death
we love you still. In our
hearts you hold a place
that no one could ever
ll. It broke our hearts to
lose you, but you didnt go
alone, for part of us went
with you, the day God
called you home.
Deeply loved and
forever missed,

FUNERALS
MARY KIPA, of Wilkes-Barre,
passed away Friday evening,
March 16, 2012.
Funeral arrangements are
pending from the Straub Kane Fu-
neral Home, 55 Park Ave., Wilkes-
Barre.
M
y dear son, Brian, who resided
in Larksville, has unexpectedly
passedfromthis life intothe arms of
Jesus on Friday, March 9, 2012. Mis-
sing him more than anyone can
imagine, but knowing Home is
Heaven with God and his father
Nick, gives us great comfort and
peace.
He was a wonderful and dedicat-
ed son. He always wanted to do
what was morally right and always
stood by my side. Brian was honest
and righteous with every decision
he made. He loved his brother Nick.
Only God can make two such beau-
tiful gifts as Nick and Brian. The
time we spent withBrianwas much,
much shorter than we could have
imagined, but I thank God for the
beautiful memories we had togeth-
er.
Almost a lifetime member of St.
Marys Church, Our Lady of Fatima
Parish on Washington Street in
Wilkes-Barre, he servedunder Mon-
signor Thomas Banick from fourth
gradeto12thgradeas anacolyte. He
had the utmost respect for Monsig-
nor Banick. In grade school, he
played soccer, basketball and base-
ball. He enjoyed wood carving and
Boy Scouts. Going through to high
school, he played the violin for sev-
en years. He was a long distance
runner, running five to six miles a
day up to the day he passed.
Brian graduated from Holy Re-
deemer High School. He attended
Wilkes University for two years and
then transferred to Kings College
for business. He earned scholar-
ships at both colleges and was set to
graduateKings inMayof 2012, with
a bachelors degree in accounting.
He was on the Presidents List and
Deans List. Brian was a member of
the Alpha Beta Sigma Honor Socie-
ty and served on the Student Advi-
sory Board. He worked part time tu-
toring other students. He liked the
staff at both Kings and Wilkes and
frequently mentioned how im-
pressed he was with Dr. Barry Wil-
liams. There were others I cant re-
member at this time.
After graduation, Brian planned
to continue his education to be a
Math High School teacher and/or
get his CPA. He was a motivated
self-learner and passed quite a few
CLEP tests for college credits.
When his father was alive, but
deathly ill, (Nick was away at
school), it was Brians sense of hu-
mor that would make his dad smile
and laugh. Brian was supportive
and strong, even while attending
school full time and working part-
time jobs at Redners and United
Check Cashing. He enjoyed manual
labor to stay fit and he also worked
other outdoor jobs and in construc-
tion.
He loved learning about tools
from his father, then his grandfa-
ther. Grand Pop could fix anything
and no one compared to Grandmas
cooking; it was the best.
father, Nick Sura Jr.
Survivingarehis mother, Barbara
Dervin Sura and his loving brother,
Nick Sura III. Also surviving are
grandparents, Edward and Theresa
Dervin; Nick and Joan Sura; aunts
and uncles, Debby Makos and hus-
band, Joe; James Dervin and wife,
Brenda; Richard Dervin, Cathy
Pack and husband, John; Karen
McHale and husband, Sean; special
cousins, Eric, Carrie, Michelle,
Chris, Heather, Stephanie, Becky,
Kirsten and Christian. He also left
behind dear friends that were just
like family: Millie Monie, Diane
Wasserott, Bill and Donna Koscin-
ski. His little dog Tiffany will surely
miss his presence. Please join our
prayers for him.
Missing Brian is almost unbeara-
ble, only God will get us through it.
He has joined his father in eternal
life with God in Heaven.
Out of respect for the family, fu-
neral arrangements were private at
St. Marys of the Immaculate Con-
ceptionChurch, Our Lady of Fatima
Parish. There were no calling hours.
Brian believed hunger in the
world was not due to a lack of food
but rather a disbursement of it. Do-
nations can be made in Brians
memory tocharitable foodbank/or-
ganization.

LAKE TAPPS, Wash. On a
winding road of wood-frame
homes tucked amid towering
trees, Robert Bales was the fa-
ther who joined his two young
children for playtime in the yard,
a career soldier who greeted
neighbors warmly but was
guarded when talking about the
years he spent away at war.
When I heard him talk, he
said ... Yeah, thats my job.
Thats what I do,
said Kassie Holland,
a next-door neigh-
bor to the soldier
who is now suspect-
ed of killing 16 Af-
ghan civilians. He
never expressed a
lot of emotion to-
ward it.
Speaking to his
fellow soldiers,
though, Bales could
exult in the role.
Plunged into battle
in Iraq, he told an in-
terviewer for a base
newspaper in 2009
that he and his comrades proved
the real difference between be-
ing an American as opposed to
being a bad guy.
As reporters swarmed Bales
neighborhood late Friday, Hol-
land and other neighbors shook
their heads, trying but failing to
reconcile the man they thought
they knew with the allegations
against him.
Military officials say that at
about 3 a.m. last Sunday, the 38-
year-old staff sergeant crept
away from the Army base where
he was stationed in southern Af-
ghanistan, entered two slumber-
ing villages and unleashed a
massacre, shooting his victims
and setting many of the bodies
on fire. Eleven of those killed be-
longed to one family. Nine were
children.
I cant believe it was him,
said Holland, recalling a kind-
hearted neighbor who grew up
in Ohio.
There, he was a happy-go-
lucky football player and a good
student at Norwood High School
in a mostly blue-collar Cincinna-
ti suburb of 20,000, said Jack
Bouldin, a retired Norwood
High School teacher who was
Bales physical education teach-
er.
Bales played alongside Marc
Edwards, who went
on to be a star run-
ning back at Notre
Dame and later NFL
teams including the
2002 Super Bowl
champion New En-
gland Patriots. He
had a part-time job
helping care for a
youth with special
needs, said team-
mate Steve Berling,
who called him a
great guy with a
huge heart. Bales
went on to college at
Ohio State Universi-
ty from 1993 to 1996 with a ma-
jor in economics, but didnt grad-
uate, according to the university.
Until Friday, military officials
had kept Bales identity secret
and what little was known about
him remained sketchy, aside
from the fact he joined the mil-
itary after the Sept. 11, 2001, ter-
ror attacks, served with the 3rd
Stryker Brigade stationed at
Joint Base Lewis-McChord and
was dispatched to Iraq three
times since 2003.
With the release of his name, a
still-incomplete portrait of the
man comes into focus. Part of it
reveals the father and husband
neighbors recall, and a soldier
quietly proud of his 11-year re-
cord of service. He and his wife,
Karilyn, had two young children;
she has worked since last April
as a project manager at AMAX-
RA, a marketing and public rela-
tions company in Redmond,
Wash.
It also shows Bales had previ-
ous brushes with trouble. In
2002, records show, he was ar-
rested at a Tacoma, Wash., hotel
for assault on a girlfriend. Bales
pleaded not guilty and was re-
quired to undergo 20 hours of an-
ger management counseling, af-
ter which the case was dismis-
sed.
A separate hit-and-run charge
was dismissed in a nearby towns
municipal court three years ago,
according to records. It isnt
clear from court documents
what Bales hit; witnesses saw a
man in a military-style uniform,
with a shaved head and bleed-
ing, running away.
When deputies found him in
the woods, Bales told them he
fell asleep at the wheel. He paid
about $1,000 in fines and restitu-
tion and the case was dismissed
in October 2009.
Bales has not yet been charged
in the killings in Afghanistan. He
was flown Friday on an Air Force
cargo jet from Kuwait to the mil-
itarys only maximum-security
prison, at Fort Leavenworth,
Kan., where hes being held
alone in a cell.
It marked the tragic end of
Bales fourth tour of duty in a
war zone, one his lawyer said he
had hoped to avoid.
He wasnt thrilled about go-
ing on another deployment,
said the attorney, John Henry
Browne of Seattle. He was told
he wasnt going back, and then
he was told he was going.
A neighbor, Paul Wohlberg, re-
called that when he last saw
Bales in November the two men
talked briefly about the soldiers
imminent departure for Afghan-
istan.
I just told him to be safe. He
said, I will. See you when I get
back, said Wohlberg, who re-
called attending barbeques at
the Bales home.
Bales and his wife bought the
Lake Tapps home in 2005, ac-
cording to records. The home
was placed on the market Mon-
day, the day after the attack, and
was listed at $229,000. Over-
flowing boxes were piled on the
front porch, and a U.S. flag
leaned against the siding.
The sale may have been a sign
of financial troubles. Bales and
his wife also own a home in Au-
burn, about 10 miles north, ac-
cording to county records, but
abandoned it about two years
ago, homeowners association
president Bob Baggett said. Now
signs posted on the front door
and window by the city warn
against occupying the house.
It was ramshackled, Baggett
said. They were not depend-
able. When they left there were
vehicles parts left on the front
yard...wed given up on the own-
ers.
Bales told neighbors little
about his brigades three tours of
duty to Iraq. But in a 2009 article
published in Fort Lewis North-
west Guardian, Bales told the in-
terviewer about finding many
dead and wounded when his unit
was sent to recover a downed
Apache helicopter in Iraq.
Ive never been more proud to
be a part of this unit than that
day, for the simple fact that we
discriminated between the bad
guys and the noncombatants and
then afterward we ended up
helping the people that three or
four hours before were trying to
kill us, Bales said.
After returning from his sec-
ond deployment to Iraq, Bales
was elevated to staff sergeant. In
three tours of duty, Browne says
his client was injured twice. One
of those injuries required the sur-
gical removal of part of one foot.
In a vehicle accident, Bales suf-
fered a concussion, the lawyer
said.

STREET SWEEPING
BEGINS IN KINGSTON
BILOXI, Miss. Rick Santo-
rums strategy for becoming the
Republican presidential nomi-
nee comes down to this: pre-
vent Mitt Romney from winning
enough delegates to arrive at
the GOP convention this sum-
mer with a mandate and per-
suade delegates to ignore elec-
tion results in their states.
The hope is that delegates
will go with Santorum as the
more conservative option over
front-runner Romney. But
theres a hitch: Newt Gingrich is
refusing to quit the race.
Its a long-shot gamble for a
candidate who began as long
shot and badly trails Romney in
delegates leading to the August
convention in Tampa, Fla.,
where Republi-
cans will pick a
challenger to
President Barack
Obama.
Adding to San-
torums money
and organizational challenges is
the fact that Gingrich is split-
ting the conservative vote and
is dismissing pressure by Santo-
rum to drop out after losing this
past week in Alabama and Mis-
sissippi.
Not that Santorum, who has
defied expectations to become
Romneys chief challenger,
seems daunted by the odds.
Youve been listening to
math class and delegate math
class instead of looking at the
reality of the situation, the for-
mer Pennsylvania senator told
reporters in Biloxi last week.
Its going to be very difficult
for anyone to get to the number
of delegates that is necessary to
win with the majority at the
convention.
This isnt about math, San-
torum says. This is about vi-
sion.
So far, its all adding up for
Romney.
He has captured 495 dele-
gates, more than all of his rivals
combined. Santorum stands at
252, Gingrich has 131 and Ron
Paul is at 48, according to an
Associated Press projection.
That puts Romney on pace to
win the required 1,144 delegates
in June.
Romneys advisers claim it
would take an act of God, as
one put it, for Santorum to take
the lead in the delegate count.
If he is able to pull off a mira-
cle so be it. Hell be the nomi-
nee, Romney said.
Santorum, whose Catholic
faith is central to his campaign,
was not amused. I dont know
about him, but I believe in acts
of God, Santorum said.
One of his strategists, John
Patrick Yob, put it another way
in a recent memo that said the
Romney teams focus on the del-
egate count was an effort to dis-
tract from what Santorums
campaign claims is trouble the
front-runner faces in county, dis-
trict and state conventions,
where delegates are locked in.
Historically, delegates take
their cues from the voters who
participate in the primaries and
caucuses.
Santorum sees himself as the
preferred candidate of conserva-
tives, given victories in the
Deep South and elsewhere. Hes
betting that he can buck tradi-
tion by getting delegates at the
local level to thwart the will of
the people and side with him
over Romney.
Santorum hopes to ride into
Tampa with enough support to
deny Romney the nomination
on the first ballot. Under this
scenario, delegates would be
free, in many cases, to back
whomever they wanted.
Yobs memo said Romney
will perform worse on subse-
quent ballots as grassroots con-
servative delegates decide to
back the more conservative can-
didate. Subsequently, Santorum
only needs to be relatively close
on the initial ballot in order to
win on a later ballot as Rom-
neys support erodes.
But there are hurdles Santo-
rum is overlooking.
It takes money and organiza-
tion to twist arms at local,
county and state conventions;
Santorum lags in both. Also,
Gingrich is still kicking and has
a chunk of conservative sup-
port.
With Mississippi and Alaba-
ma showing that Santorum had
defeated Gingrich on what es-
sentially was the former Geor-
gia lawmakers home turf, San-
torum said it was time for con-
servatives to unite against de-
feat Romney. Translation:
Gingrich should step aside.
About half the states still
await the chance to vote. Santo-
rum wants to make the remain-
ing contests a head-to-head
match against the former Mas-
sachusetts governor, winning
beyond conservative areas in
hopes of denying Romney the
clinching number.
Santorum is competing Tues-
day in Illinois, friendly Romney
territory, but also looking ahead
to Louisianas primary next Sat-
urday.
Hes trying to prevent Romney from winning enough
delegates to arrive at convention with a mandate

grandfather as part of a property

vide a haven for wildlife.
Its their island. At least Im

the little animals, she said.
The 45-acre GouldIslandinSa-
lem Township is owned by PPL
Susquehanna LLC, which pur-
chased it in the 1960s as part of a
large tract when PPL was build-
ing its nuclear power plant near
Berwick, according to news ar-
chives.
PPL spokesman Joe Scopelliti
said the island isnt used for any-
thing. A gas line runs through or
under the island, and the site is
believed to contain historic arti-
facts.
We have rules set up in our
procedures that no digging is to
occur on the island unless the
state historic preservation office
is consulted, he said.
Countys largest isle
Scovell Island, the largest in
thecounty, isownedbyCalifornia
residents David and Christopher
Mathewson, who could not be re-
ached for comment. Scovell is as-
sessed at $131,000, which means
the Mathewsons pay about
$2,600 in school, county and mu-
nicipal property taxes.
The 17-acre Culver Island in
Plains Township is owned by
Green Valley Growers Inc., and
corporation representatives
could not be reached for com-
ment.
Plevyak said he regularly flies
over the river toward Harrisburg
in his helicopter and sees hun-
dreds of islands. Some in the Se-
linsgrove area have residential
structures and had been used for
farming, he said, marveling at
past images of acres of corngrow-
ing in the middle of the river.
Boats congregate around islands
in the Harrisburg area during

Hes spotted tens of thousands
of tires and numerous propane
tanks on the islands here and

flooding.

and other debris landed on his is-
land in September, he said. He

land in the spring, he said.

that wont be developed.
Gomola said he hasnt hunted
on the island in years, though a
relative has been there with his
son.
Wed hunt pheasants and rab-
bits over there. Now there are
deer and turkey, Gomola said.
Pittstonarearesident JosephP.
Vullo said he and two friends
bought Wintermoot Island north
of the Eighth Street Bridge in the
Jenkins Township area about 40
years ago. They paid
the Pennsylvania
Coal Co. $1,900.
The island is
packed with water-
fowl, rabbits, musk-
rats anddeer, hesaid.
Hes fished from the
island many times.
There are all
kinds of hawks and
birds over there,
Vullo said. We were
constantly over
there. Its a great
place for a hunting club.
Wintermoot is listed at 37.37
acres in assessment records,
though Vullo said it appears to be
closer to60acresbecausenewde-
posits have clung to the island
over the years.
Theislandisdefinitelygetting
bigger, he said.
Like Monocanock, it spans
three municipalities: Pittston
city, Exeter borough and Jenkins
Township.
The property is in Clean and
Green, and Vullo said its dense
forest and nature preservation
merit the tax break.
He would welcome govern-
ment assistance for clean-up be-
ter.
Citizens and companies own
nine of the 10 islands document-
ed in assessment records. The
county owns the remaining one:
32-acre Richards Island under
the Carey Avenue Bridge in
Larksville and Plymouth.
Debris on islands
The issue of island ownership
recently came up because county
officials are exploring the possi-
bility of using some September
2011flood recovery funding to re-
move structures and other debris
fromthe islands.
The county bought Richards
Island in 2005 as part of a bulk
purchase of former watershed
land from the Virginia-based,
nonprofit Conservation Fund,
whichhadacquiredit fromTheta
Land Corp.
Former county commissioner
Todd Vonderheid said at the time
the island might be used for
sports fields or other recreational
facilities that could endure peri-
odic flooding, but plans for the is-
land havent been discussed at
public county meetings in years.
County Flood Protection Au-
thority Executive Director Jim
Brozena said construction isnt
permitted on the river islands be-
cause theyre in the direct path of
flooding.
Theres nothing you can do
with them, he said.
Theislands mayseemmoreno-
ticeable lately because the Sus-
quehanna hasnt been close to its
typical seven-foot winter depth,
he said.
Weve been down around
three feet lately, though were up
to five or six feet now, Brozena
said.
Teeming with wildlife
West Pittstonresident Carl Go-
mola said he and three relatives
leasedMonocanockIslandfroma
coal company for hunting before
purchasing it in the 1970s.
The 45-acre island falls in
Wyoming Borough and Jenkins
and Plains townships. Monoca-
nock is assessed at $51,800 but
taxedat a value of $6,900because
its in the Clean and Green pro-
gram for preserved properties
Belles Island in the Susquehanna River by Shickshinny. Luzerne
County records show no ownership of the island. Borough resi-
dents fear its contributing to flooding.
Macks Island, which is actually a cluster of islands in the Susque-
hanna River, near the Mocanaqua section of Conyngham Town-
ship. Local folks once farmed the island, but its now a flooding
concern and stuck in a back-tax sale.
Monocanock Island in the Susquehanna River. Relatives pur-
chased the 45-acre island for hunting. It harbored Patriots fleeing
for their lives in the bloody Battle of Wyoming.
Richards Island in the Susquehanna River was purchased by
Luzerne County as part of watershed property in 2005. County
officials havent publicly discussed the property in years.
Scovell Island in the Susquehanna River in Exeter is owned by
California residents David and Christopher Mathewson. Scovell
Island is the largest island in the county.
Wintermoot Island in the Susquehanna River was purchased by a
group of friends for hunting and fishing. The 37.37-acre plot falls

which equates to a school, county and
local property tax bill of about $774.
A total $3,251 in back taxes are
owed on the island dating back to
2009, records show. There is no record
of an assessment appeal on the prop-
erty since the countywide reassess-
ment. Assessment records say the

brief county officials on the islands
because the county gets stuck with
properties that are listed in free-and-
clear auctions and dont sell. Unsold
properties go into a repository and
remain there in limbo unless someone
wants to buy them.
Wed better be careful because if
nobody buys them, the county in es-
sence owns them, Rodgers said.
The islands are in Conyngham and
Exeter townships.
The Conyngham
Township one is
known as Macks
Island and is listed
at 23.5 acres on coun-
ty assessment re-
cords. Its a cluster of
a large, medium and
several tiny islands.
John Krostek is listed as the owner,
but property records are addressed to
a New Jersey relative, Richard Kros-
tek, who inherited the property and
could not be reached for comment.
Macks Island is assessed at $48,000,
rior view. The island is eligible for a
reduced Clean and Green assessment
tax break because its larger than 10
acres and cant be developed.
The Exeter Township property,
known as Millers Island, is a group
of five islands totaling three acres,
assessment records show.
Owned by Michael Degirolamo, the
island is assessed at $45,100, which
produces a tax bill of $873.
An out-of-town relative who did not
want to be identified said the owners
have died, and a Realtor concluded
nobody would buy the island. The
taxes increased dramatically after
reassessment, prompting the family to
stop paying them and let it go to tax
sale. No assessment appeals are re-
corded on the property. Assessment
records say this island is waterfront
but has no superior view.
If the county opts to keep the is-
lands in the sale, they will be listed in
a public auction list this summer.
FOR SALE
Luzerne County tax claim operator John Rodgers said he soon will brief county
officials on the islands because the county gets stuck with properties that are
listed in free-and-clear auctions and dont sell. Unsold properties go into a
repository and remain there in limbo unless someone wants to buy them.

W
ith imperial dignity the nine,
justices of the U.S. Supreme
Court file into the chamber,
pausing before their seats until Chief
Justice Roberts signals to sit down.
As nine black-robed posteriors touch
the chairs, a powerful BLAAAAAAAT
rings across the room. The startled
justices leap to their feet, their eyes
darting around in confusion. Lawyers,
reporters, government officials shout in
near-panic. The chief justice rings for
security.
Gotcha, guys!
I had sneaked in the night before and
placed extra-loud whoopee cushions on
their chairs.
So discombobulated are the justices
that when they finally get down to
business they accidentally declare the
national Mothers Day proclamation
unconstitutional. Listening outside the
chamber, I chortle heartily.
Well, I can dream.
Actually I do a lot of dreaming like
that every year around this time as we
approach the greatest and noblest of
our nations holidays. Of course Im
talking about April Fools Day, coming
to a calendar near you in just two
weeks.
In a world of rising gasoline prices,
economic instability at home and bitter
political divisions abroad, I think its a
good idea for all us citizens to stop our
dull daily routine once a year and smell
the sneezing powder.
Over the years Ive enjoyed many a
practical joke. Some of them, sad to
say, have passed from our national
treasury of good humor. These days a
lawsuit (or a beating) would probably
grow out of a loaded Marlboro explod-
ing in somebodys face. The one-piece
shoes men wear today prevent you
from giving your buddy a hotfoot. Oh,
what fun it was to see some guy hop-
ping around on one leg and cursing.
Yes, theres been a massive and
sad cultural shift. The vanishing of
little neighborhood stores has done
away with the pasteboard cards of
cheap but entertaining novelties the
proprietors used to stick near the cash
register to pry some final change out of
the customer.
Generations have grown up with
about as much knowledge of itching
powder or plastic ice cubes with flies
as they have of trapping and skinning
muskrats. And thats really a shame. A
huge area of pleasant social interaction,
I fear, has faded into history.
How I long for the days when some-
one would rush into a room, screaming
as if in mortal pain and displaying a
bloody finger through which a nail
apparently had been driven. For 10
cents you couldnt get more fun than
that.
But, Ill tell you, for subtle, long-
lasting chicanery that was more than a
quick fix, for jokes and japes that
would send chuckles down through the
years, it was tough to beat the year-
book kings. No one-shot wonders they,
these teenagers would spend months
worming their way into high school
and college yearbook photos where
they had no right to be. Id like to see
modern kids revive the practice.
You have the singing voice of a cat
on a backyard fence? No problem: show
up for the chorus photo, and gener-
ations to come will think you were the
star baritone.
Cant walk across the gym without
wheezing? Hey, the basketball team
wont notice you standing in the back
row as a manager, but your grand-
children will gaze adoringly.
Folks, pass the word to the young
students in your family. Prepare now
for April Fools Day 2013.
By the way, dont get up. Ive placed
a special reverse whoopee cushion on
your chair, and as soon as you stand
heh, heh, heh!

rann Edley is the owner of Sugar Plum chocolates in Forty
Fort. Edley, 62, graduated high school in New York. She
received her degree in Elementary Education at Fairleigh
Dickinson University in NewJersey. Edley lives in Kingston with
her husband Elliot and has three children; Douglas, Jodi and
Neil.
How did your wonderful world of
chocolate begin? It had its origina-
tion on a small table in my home al-
most 17 years ago. I have always
lovedtocookandmakingchocolate
delicacies spawned from that pas-
sion. It was a hobby that evolved
and became more after my chil-
dren became older. March marks
the 17th anniversary of the busi-
ness and we keep growing every
year. We are on the internet and
ship worldwide.
So you love what you do? You
havetohaveapassionfor what youare
doing if you want it to flourish. I have
that hereasI alwayshaveandcontinueto
think of ways for the business to expand.
So you have a lot of new products or
popular items?Wearealwayscomingout
with newchocolates or candy items. We are
particularly proud of our Cocoa Couturier
line of fashionable chocolates for fabulous
fashionistasaswesay. Wehaveour regular
items too. Chup cakes and cereal bars are
also popular and well-received.
Have your chocolates and treats ever
received national recognition? They
have. We had our products displayed on
The Rachel Ray Show and our chocolates
were also served at the Academy Awards.
We are very proud of those special mo-
ments.
Easter is coming. Do you have many
special occasions you cater to? Easter is
a huge time of the year just like Valentines
Day. Weddings, bacheloretteparties andba-
byshowers arealsobigevents that wesell a
lot of products for.
Growing up did you do any others jobs?
I was acounselor at camp, anofficeworker
andI usedtoworkat myunclesrestaurant.
Do you have places in NEPA that you
like to frequent or visit occasionally?
There are many restaurants in the area
that we go to and greatly enjoy. The Arena
and Kirby shows are also great sources of
entertainment for my husband and me.
Where have you been overseas? We
have traveled to Italy and the whole ambi-
encethereis amazing. Thearchitecture, the
food and the people all contribute to a won-
derful experience. We have also been to Pa-
ris. That was a great time too.
Speaking of Italian foods? I love Ital-
ian food and sushi.
Howabout books? Any favorites? I ac-
tually just read The Wild Rose by Jennifer
Donnelly. It was really good.
Do you have a motto to live by or favor-
ite quote? I do not think it is original, but I
like the notion that all of your dreams can
come true if we have the courage to pursue
them.
Do you have any favorite sports or
teams you follow? I really enjoy watching
my grandchildren participate in soccer and
t-ball.
Would your children or grandchildren
be part of some of your most memorable
personal moments? Absolutely! Being a
grandmother to my three amazing grand-
children is very important to me. Just being
with themand my children is a joy and see-
ing them grow up makes me so proud.
I guess it is not hard to guess that your
chocolate business is a reason for pride?
It is such hard work but such a great feel-
ing. I amso proud to see howthis company
has evolved from the early days to where
we are today.

The students names were re-
moved from the essays and
judged anonymously by judges,
Andita Parker-Lloyd, Chaplain
Marianne Sailus, John Heinz Re-
habilitation, Wilkes-Barre Town-
ship, and the Rev. John Hartman,
rector, Grace Episcopal Church,
Kingston.
The students were encouraged
to participate in the contest as a
side enrichment activity suggest
by their English teacher, Thomas
Griffiths.
We try to encourage the stu-
dents to be active and practice a
skill, Griffiths said.
He was impressed by the diver-
sity of ideas and selection of ex-
amples the students chose.
The topic was chosen as a way
to trigger students to think about
the possibilities and to examine
the characteristics of leadership
and compassion from a different
angle, said Rabbi Roger Lerner,
of the Wyoming Valley Interfaith
Council.
We wanted to show the stu-
dents that they have the power;
they can do something about it
other thancomplainingabout it,
Rabbi Lerner said.
Here are their essays:
Leadership in the World: Past,
Present, and Future
By Sean Sedor
When someone goes to the
website Mapquest and types in a
destination, there are often many
ways people can choose to get
from where they are to where
they want to be. Leadership is
similar in many requests. There
is a goal in mind, but a leader can
choose to get to that goal in any
number of ways.
The pages of history books are
full of stories of those leaders,
some famous, some known as
bad or infamous, with familiar
names such as Julius Caesar, Je-
sus, Napoleon, Buddha, Mo-
hamed, Queen Elizabeth, George
Washington, John F. Kennedy,
Gandhi, and more. Some were
strong and forceful. Others were
quiet and determined. Some
used war while others preferred
peace. Each had their own ap-
proach, showing there are as
many ways to lead as there are
leaders.
However, at a time when so
much of the world is struck by
war, disaster, and the stark con-
trast between haves and have
nots, now more than ever, the
world needs the approach known
as compassionate leadership.
Compassionate leadership guid-
ed people by focusing, as some
would say, as much on the heart
as on the head. Compassionate
leadership, similar to all forms of
leadership, certainly involves re-
aching goals. However it com-
bines that drive with a deep re-
spect for each individual and the
unique gifts they bring and with
an ability to inspire them to use
those gifts and rise above the
challenges.
Compassionate leadership is
something needed desperately
today in schools, business, and
government.
Compassionate leadership in-
volves focusing on assisting oth-
ers and helping them discover
their gifts and strengths. It could
and should start small with stu-
dents in our schools.
For example, learning to climb
a rope ladder and to do the shuf-
fle were among the small things
a group of high school juniors did
last summer at the Rotary Youth
LeadershipAwards campat Keys-
tone College. While those things
seem small, and dont seem, by
themselves, to have a lot to do
with leadership, they made a big
impact. The students were hav-
ing fun, learning about each oth-
er, and how to work together to
make a positive change. No one
was forcingthem; andnoone was
dictating the methods they
would use. The compassionate
leaders developed the program
so that each individual would
contribute their own gift. And,
they were having so much fun in
the process, reaching the goal set
out seemednot onlypossible, but
easy!
The same logic that worked to
teach high school students to
work together toward goals and
to bring about positive change in
the community is something we
need to see more of in the work-
place and in our political leader-
ship as well.
The economic troubles of the
past few years have left so very
many people in a position they
never expected to be in. Many
have lost their jobs, and some
have become homeless over-
night. The Occupy Wall Street
movement was the outward sym-
bols of what somany were feeling
about the lack of compassionate
leadership in business. The days
when companies seemed to care
about employees and about the
communities they call home
have been lost in the drive for
greater and greater profits. The
call is loud today for corporate
and business leaders who com-
bine ethics and caring with busi-
ness skills.
The success of entrepreneurial
international corporations like
Toms shoes show that there is a
way to combine the successful
business with building success
for people and communities.
Northeastern Pennsylvania has
many such examples, including
Dr. Joseph Mattioli. Mattioli,
owner of Pocono Raceways, was
noted for the millions he gave to
community causes, hospitals,
schools and more! These exam-
ples show how compassionate
leadership can lead to success,
for both business leaders and po-
litical leaders.
Just as their are examples of
business leaders who stand out,
there are many political leaders
whose lead with compassion in
the past laid the groundwork and
set the standard that leaders to-
day can and should follow. A par-
ticular name that comes to mind
is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He
was a man that urged that anyone
could become successful by being
compassionate. As he said, Ev-
erybody can be great ... because
anybodycanserve. Youdont have
to have a college degree to serve.
You dont have to make your sub-
ject and verb agree to serve. You
only need a heart full of grace. A
soul generated by love.
Dr. King showed on many oc-
casions what it meant to be a
compassionate leader. He always
urged against violence, pushing
for more peaceful ways to win
rights for African Americans dur-
ing the Civil Rights Movement.
His example showed that it can
be done. It is up to each individu-
al to work to see that it is done.
Just as people are taught about
reading, math and science, they
shouldbe taught touse their gifts
and talents certainly to make a
career, but also to make a better
life for themselves, for their com-
munityandfor theworld. Theold
saying that in business people
have to think with their head and
putting their heart aside couldnt
be more wrong. Andthe idea that
political leadership is just about
strength with emphasizing com-
passion has not proven to be the
most effective throughout histo-
ry. True Leadership is just as
much about listening as it is talk-
ing. It is as much about helping
other people to do things as it is
doingthembythemselves. It is as
much about having fun along the
way as it is about working hard.
how this generation will make
the world a better place for the
next generation
Reframing Compassion: A
Practical Approach
By Evan Amendola
InThe Prince, Niccolo Machia-
velli stated that it is better to be
feared than loved, if you cannot
be both. However, perhaps a
more accurate sentiment would
be that, above all else, it is impor-
tant to be respected. Fear is, after
all, a short-term motivator at
best. If the people are still con-
cernedfor their safety after doing
good work, there is little incen-
tive to continue to uphold that
standard.
Indeed, the individuals held up
as ideal humanbeings were those
who managed to be strong while
maintaining a high standard of
compassion. A truly, wholly al-
truistic person is as rare as one
who is rottento the core, but, just
as scourges like Adolf Hitler had
a profound impact on life as we
know it, so, too, did the few who
were willing to devote their lives
to the betterment of the species.
Men and women given the virtue
of compassionate leadership are
capable of changing the course of
history in truly radical ways.
Of course, the term compas-
sionate leadership comes in two
parts. Sheer selflessness, though
a tremendously powerful tool, is
not worth nearly as much on its
own as it is when coupled with
great intelligence and resolve. A
compassionate leader is some-
one who is possessed of a genu-
ine desire to help others, as well
as the charisma, dedication, and
proactive nature to put it to good
use.
For instance, the nonviolent
protests held by Martin Luther
King, Jr. are a perfect example of
this sort of leadership. Due to his
goodwill, he endured thirty ar-
rests for the sake of the Civil
Rights movement and, in the
process, ignited a sense of em-
pathy in an otherwise aloof na-
tion. However, there was also a
sense of underlying strategy to
his methods. When faced with
images of police officers relent-
lessly beating down people who
were neither willing nor able to
fight back, America was forced to
accept the harsh realities of rac-
ism.
This is the sort of intelligence
that keeps leaders successful
without having them sacrifice
their empathy. Being a compas-
sionate leader is by no means an
easyfeat; it takes true innovation,
intellect, and determination to
achieve. However, there are ex-
amples living among us right this
very second. Bill Gates, founder
of Microsoft, is involved in and
has created numerous philan-
thropic organizations towhichhe
can give such significant support
due to his outstanding financial
success. Without the revolution-
ary technology produced by Mi-
crosoft, Bill Gates would have
been in no position to do the
things that he has done. This is
proof that there is no one cor-
rect way to lead through com-
passion. Where Martin Luther
King, Jr. was someone who was
givena positionof leadershipdue
to his incredible compassion and
intelligence, Bill Gates first rose
to a seat of tremendous power
and, in direct defiance of the
phrase Absolute power corrupts
absolutely, used that power to
do tremendous good for the
world.
That being said, it is entirely
possible to provide a model for
compassionate leadership, al-
though there are many methods
of reaching that plateau. Com-
passionate leadership is the idea
of being intelligent, pragmatic,
and logical without losing sight
of ones empathy. Logic and
compassion are too-often
thought of as being mutually ex-
clusive. The most logical course
of action is nothing more than
that which will most efficiently
achieve the desiredresult. There-
fore, it is entirely possible to be
calculating and logical while still
striving for the betterment of
mankind. For example, there will
inevitably come a time when a
General must sacrifice troops to
win a conflict. A compassionate
leader is one who minimizes the
casualties while ensuring, above
all else, the safety of civilians
both back home and wherever
they may be fighting.
certainly a difficult goal to strive
for. Those who followthis dream
will surely be faced with tremen-
dous hardships, and, above all
else, the most important factor is
relentless, staunch resolution in
the face of those hurdles.
Through pure dedication to their
cause, a compassionate leader
can change the world in amazing
ways, impact the course of socie-
ty andwars, andbringinnovation
tofields desperatelyinneedof ad-
vancement. Due to the difficulty
of balancing on such a precarious
pedestal, fewcan lay claimto the
title of compassionate leader,
but whenever one shows up, hu-
manity is sure to benefit.
Compassionate leadership
By Veronica Zimmerman
Compassionate leadership is a
raretrait toseeina powerful posi-
tion. When thinking of politic-
ians or businesses, egotistical
bigots come to mind, cutting cor-
ners in order to make a profit on
the side. However, great leader-
ship does exist in ancient and re-
cent history. These people will
pour their hearts into their work
and not only desire success in a
business or themselves but also
other people. They are able to
think about the big picture and
plan what will help today as well
as tomorrow.
Great leaders know there are
no quick, easy fixes and are able
to take a hit if it means an entire
country will benefit in the future.
One person that fits all of these
criteria is the 32nd president,
Franklin D. Roosevelt. This is
seen as he reacted and planned
for one of the United States of
Americas greatest hardships, the
Great Depression.
Beginning his presidency dur-
ing a great struggle for America,
Roosevelt provided hope and
helped the American people re-
gain faith in themselves. He
provedto be a very relatable pres-
ident due to being afflicted with
polio as a young man, rendering
his legs useless. However, he
fought a losing battle to reclaim
the use of his legs by doing exer-
cises.
This one detail in this presi-
dents life allows the average man
to relate as he overcomes his own
hardships; it shows the general
population that the president is
not superhumanandthat he does
have his own weaknesses. Also,
Roosevelts fireside chats on the
radio allowed him to connect
withhis peoplelikenoother pres-
ident before him. He provided a
casual setting, but also provided
the common man with the coun-
trys status that otherwise might
not have been revealed.
Roosevelt wonthevotes of peo-
ple during a difficult time as he
promised a lot of changes for
America, but not only did he talk
of these ideas, he actually made
them happen. In his first
hundred days, he proposed a
sweeping program to bring re-
covery to business and agricul-
ture, relief to the unemployed
and reform. Roosevelt utilized
the fundamentals of a compas-
sionate leader as his popularity
among the wealthy plummeted,
and he continued with his plans
in order to aid the majority of the
country. He continued to tax the
rich in order to provide benefits
to the needy, such as Social Secu-
rity which is still used today. It al-
lows people to survive financially
no matter what struggles they
may have. Roosevelts sharp wit
and smart choices for his country
are present in his later term as
well.
Roosevelt knew that the Unit-
ed States of America had just
come out of a war and was not
ready to fight again; however, al-
thoughhe kept his menout of the
battles, he knew where he could
benefit and aided attacked coun-
tries that were in need of suppli-
es. He did know when war was
the answer and that is seen when
America was directly threatened
by Japan at Pearl Harbor; Roose-
velt immediately reacted and de-
clared war. A strong leader real-
izes that peace is the ultimate ob-
jective and that is exactly what
Roosevelt aimedtoachieve, feel-
ing that the future peace of the
world would depend upon rela-
tions [so] he devoted much
thought to the planning of a Unit-
ed Nations. This shows his dedi-
cation to his country and also the
entire world, hoping to be able to
maintain peace between coun-
tries despite obvious differences.
Roosevelt proves to be a com-
passionateleader duringhis pres-
idency due to his inspiring ideas
that are still implemented today.
He was devoted to his country
and kept all promises that he
made tohis people whichcreated
trust among them. His leader-
ship skills outweigh all others as
he led his country with his heart
and did not allow popularity to
blind his desires to better the
country.
This type of leader is seen not
only in a politician, such as Roo-
sevelt himself, but also in a busi-
ness because it is one thing to be
successful financially but it is an-
other, highly important point to
be successful among the com-
mon people. Franklin D. Roose-
velt managed that by remaining
true to himself while leading pas-
sionately, which should be seen
in all leaders because power of
any sort does not mean royalty; it
means bettering yourself and a
whole population.

hey came into the 2011-12 high
school swimming season all wide-
eyed with hope, twin brothers
dreaming about making the PIAA cham-
pionships a family show.
Then the whole show stopped for
them.
On the eve of the Wyoming Valley
Conference season openers, sophomores
Josh and Joseph Grzech found out there
wasnt going to be a season for them.
At least not at Crestwood High
School, which shockingly dropped its
swim program without warning.
We had a lot of people interested in
swimming this year, Joseph Grzech
said. But they canceled the team. I was
disappointed.
We found out the day the season was
supposed to start, Josh Grzech said.
It was the same old dilemma for Crest-
wood, which doesnt have a pool and
doesnt want to raise thousands of dol-
lars in taxes to build one without proof
that a surge of interest in swimming
within the school district will last more
than a few years.
As always, the school board wants to
know its worth it before investing in
such an endeavor.
So the few athletes who embrace the
sport at Crestwood were left to go it
alone this season when their coach re-
tired after last year and they lost the use
of their off-site practice pool theyve used
over the past three seasons. To the cha-
grin of Crestwoods dozen or so swim-
mers, including the sophomore sons of
John and Linda Grzech of Mountain
Top, the Comets also lost their program.
We were very disappointed, Josh
Grzech said, but especially my mom.
She really worked hard and put a lot of
her time into finding us a place to
swim.
They found whatever home they could
call home for the moment during the
season.
The Grzech brothers practiced at the
Wilkes-Barre CYC, at Wyoming Valley
West, Hazleton Area, Dallas, Holy Re-
deemer -- pretty much wherever they
could find and in whatever waters were
open at the time. They swam in some
exhibitions with the Valley West team,
where they earned their qualifying times
for districts.
We had the room, it didnt interfere
with our kids, said Wyoming Valley
West coach Frank Tribendis, who helped
mentor the Grzech brothers and a few
other Crestwood swimmers through
their difficult season. I accepted the
responsibility of coaching them. Fortu-
nately, Im retired (from teaching), I
could do that. They were extremely nice
ladies and gentlemen. Our (Valley West)
kids were all cheering for them and they
cheered for us.
The cheering never stopped as the
Grzechs became District 2 champions.
As a swimmer, your goal is to get as
far as you can, Josh Grzech said. Thats
what we did.
They got all the way to states.
Happiness found
Friday night, Josh Grzech wasnt ex-
pected to make it past the preliminary as
a No. 23 seed in the the 100-yard butter-
fly. But he fluttered all the way to the
consolation round of the Class 2A field,
finishing 15th in the state and seventh in
that race. Then he came back Saturday
to conclude his first PIAA championship
weekend by moving up seven spots from
his original state seeding in the 100-yard
freestyle, where he wound up 19th.
Its great, amazing, Josh Grzech said.
You feel good no matter what you do.
You make it here, youre happy.
His brother Joseph didnt make any
consolations or finals, but he did make it
to states for the second straight year in
the 100-yard backstroke. And he also
made a charge, moving up seven spots
from his seeding to place 22nd.
It was much better this year, Joseph
Grzech said of his second state swim-
ming championships. Because Im a lot
faster than I was last year.
And maybe because he had to over-
come more struggles this season to get
there.

played like the team that

SIMON DESPRES
Penguins Defenseman
When it came time to pick his fan-
tasy hockey team, Simon Despres
made a few obvious choices. His
all-time great, for example, is one of
the best to ever play the game and
his choice for head coach is last
years Jack Adams winner.
But Despres also made several
interesting selections -- ones that
make a lot of sense when you think
about it -- in other areas. He put a
20-year-old rookie defenseman as
his top guy on the power play and he
chose an agitator from the Western
Conference that has gone over-
looked so far.
Its almost like Despres did some
scouting in preparation for his turn
as Fantasy GM, and the work yielded
a very solid team.
FORWARD -- Jonathan Toews
(Chicago), "Hes gritty, a leader and
very skilled. Hes always the first one
in the gym and last one out. He
works hard.
DEFENSE -- Nicklas Lidstrom
(Detroit), "Hes 41 but still the best.
He has a ton of experience and a few
Stanley Cups."
GOALTENDER -- Tim Thomas
(Boston), "Hes been solid the last
few years, won a Stanley Cup last
year with Boston and he was a big
reason behind it.
POWER PLAY SPECIALIST --
Ryan Ellis (Nashville), "He made
World Juniors as a 16-year-old from
playing on the power play. Hes a
wizard on the power play."
PENALTY KILL SPECIALIST --
Pavel Datsyuk (Detroit), "Hes so
smart and he anticipates well. Hes
also dangerous on the penalty kill.
You cant give him any chances."
SHOOTOUT -- Datsyuk, "For obvi-
ous reasons."
ENFORCER -- Milan Lucic (Bos-
ton), "Hes one of the toughest guys
in the league and he can score
goals."
AGITATOR/PEST -- Maxime La-
pierre (Vancouver), "Ive never
played against him but when I watch
him on TV, everyone hates him on
the ice."
HEAD COACH -- Dan Bylsma
(Pittsburgh), "It would look bad if you
dont take him."
ALL-TIME GREAT -- Mario Le-
mieux (Pittsburgh), "Hes my idol and
the best that ever played."
Fantasy GM
self facing players who were bigger and
stronger. Also, hes now playing a game
with fighting and an intimidation factor
that was absent in the college ranks.
It takes time to figure out where you
can pick your battles and when to let it
go, Gibbons said.
That was a crucial lessonfor Gibbons,
who admits he played with an edge in
college.
He didnt want to lose that edge as a
pro, but Gibbons hadtolearnhowtouse
it wisely.
In college, sometimes I went over
the line and I took a lot of penalties, he
said. I didnt want that to be a part of
my game because youre going to sit if
you take a stupid penalty and hurt the
team.
I had to figure out how to keep that
edge and avoid a lot of penalties, and
that took a while to figure out.
Gibbons also had to learn how to
When Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pen-
guins winger Brian Gibbons sat for two
straight games in late January as a
healthy scratch, he took a hard look in
the mirror.
Gibbons was mired in a goal-less
drought that would last for 20 games,
and the 23-year-old rookie was dealt
some major adversity inhis first pro sea-
son.
It was definitely a
challenge, Gibbons
said. Anytime you go
through a stretch like
that so many games
without much produc-
tion -- you rethink
things and see what
you need to do to im-
prove.
For Gibbons, that
began with his prac-
tice habits. He knew
they needed to im-
prove, and he began to
treat practices like
games.
When youre get-
ting scratched, the on-
ly thing you have is practice, Gibbons
said.
The renewed commitment to prac-
tice caught the attention of head coach
John Hynes, and Gibbons earned his
way back into the lineup. In his second
game back, Gibbons assisted on Paul
Thompsons game-winning goal against
Hershey. The next night against Albany,
Gibbons found the back of the net to
break his goal-scoring slump.
His confidencereturnedandhis game
progressed, and now Hynes sees a dif-
ferent player in Gibbons.
Now hes a more mature player and
pro, just with how he is on a daily basis
in games, practices and around the
team, Hynes said. Hes a very talented
and competitive player, and he under-
stands the requirements of pro hockey.
The transitiontoprohockey is oftena
challenging one for rookies, and Gib-
bons, who spent the previous four years
with Boston College, was no different.
In college, Gibbons was among the
teams top scorers and regularly used
his speed to get around defenses with
ease.
At the AHLlevel, Gibbons found him-
compete against much bigger players at
the AHLlevel. At 5-foot-8, he isnt nearly
the tallest player onthe ice, but Gibbons
is one of the fastest.
By using his speed, Gibbons said, he
was able to turn the size difference into
an advantage.
You can use your quickness to spin
off checks and draw penalties. You can
also use your size to your advantage be-
cause you have good balance on your
skates and a lower center of gravity so
youre closer to the ice, Gibbons said.
Proof that Gibbons now knows how
to combine his size and speed into an
advantage was evident with the goal he
scored against St. Johns on March 6.
Gaining the puck in the neutral zone,
Gibbons blazed into the St. Johns end,
split between two defenseman and
scored a breakaway goal.
He said it was one of his better plays
all season.
I dont expect tosplit the Dandscore
every game, but when you get a chance
like that you have to take advantage of
it, he said. But I do need to trust my
speedmoreandgotothenet harder, like
that.
Since his goal-scoring slump ended,
Gibbons has posted four goals and sev-
en assists. On the season, he has 10
goals and 28 points, along with a plus-2
rating. Best of all, Gibbons no longer
feels like a rookie learningthe progame.
He plays more like a confident pro,
one whose game is coming together at
the perfect time.
The last month of the regular and in-
to the playoffs is when you want to be
playing your best hockey, he said.
Sure I want to have individual success
andput uppoints, but whenyoure team
is winning games and youre helping
them do that, then that makes you bet-
ter as a player as well.

When Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
Penguin defenseman Alex-
andre Picard connected on a
first periodslapshot togivehim
two goals during Saturdays
matchup against the Worcester
Sharks, it was his first multi-
goal game since 2006.
When Picard scored a third
goal on a slapshot in the final
period, he accomplished some-
thing he hadnt done since he
was 9.
A hat trick.
Picards three goals includ-
ingtwoonthepower play-- pro-
pelled the Penguins to a 4-1win
over the Sharks. The win im-
proves the Penguins to 37-20-
2-5 and solidifies their hold on
fourth place in the division
standings four points ahead
of Hershey.
Picards hat trick was only
one of the elements that
pleased the sold-out St. Pa-
tricks Day crowd. Saturdays
game featured four fights, in-
cludingthreeinthefirst period,
that gave the home fans plenty
of reason to be loud.
It was great to see the build-
ing pumped up like that, Pi-
card said. On every special oc-
casion this building is filled,
and we knew for St. Patricks
Day it would be filled up, so we
were pretty pumped up about
it.
The Penguins went to work
early to build a commanding
lead in the first period. Picard
connected twice, including
once on the power play, and
RyanCraigbackhandedhomea
rebound on the man advantage
to put the Sharks down 3-0.
The period also featured
plenty of fisticuffs, beginning
with a bout between Brandon
DeFazioandWorcesters James
Livingston. Four seconds later,
Carl Sneep dropped the gloves
withMatt Pelechoff thefaceoff,
followed by another bout after
the next puck drop between
Geoff Walker and Curt Gogol.
That was important, Pen-
guins coach John Hynes said.
Theres some self-sacrifice
when you have to fight, and
that brought energy to our
bench. Guys were invested and
the crowd got into it, so it was
definitely an important factor
in the game.
Worcester goaltender Tyson
Sexsmith was pulled after Pi-
cards secondgoal andreplaced
by Harri Sateri, who kept the
Penguins off the board in the
second.
While no goals were scored
in the period, it did feature the
fourth fight of the night. It oc-
curred after Worcesters Tony
Lucia shoved Paul Thompson
into goaltender Scott Munroe.
Rookie Simon Despres came to
his goaltenders defense and
pummeled Lucia with a fewup-
percuts.
Those fights inthe first peri-
od were big and got the crowd
into it, andIve beenwanting to
fight for a while, Despres said.
I sawthe opportunity soI took
it.
Picard put the Penguins up
by four when he sent a slapshot
to the net that bounced under
Sateri to give the defenseman
his first career hat trick and
eighth goal of the season.
The last Penguin to record a
regular season hat trick was
Nick Johnson, who accom-
plished the feat on Dec. 29,
2010, against Syracuse. Defen-
seman Steve Wagner regis-
tered a natural hat trick last
April 23 in the playoffs against
Norfolk.
The win is the Penguins
fourth in their last five games,
and got them back on track af-
ter a deflating 4-1 loss to Nor-
folk last Wednesday.
It was a big statement, Pi-
card said. Worcester is a good,
big team that plays really hard.
We wantedto come out tonight
and make a statement.

Ceira Ricketts had 13 points
and five assists for the Razor-
backs (24-8), who finished the
game with a 20-2 run after trail-
ing by as many as 14 in the first
half.
No. 3 Texas A&M69,
No. 14 Albany 47
COLLEGE STATION, Texas
Tyra White scored 18 points
in her return from injury and
defending national champion
Texas A&M used a big second
half run to pull away from Alba-

injury. She got going early, scor-
ing 12 points in the first half.

RALEIGH
R E G I O N A L
BRIDGEPORT, Conn.
Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis
scored 21 points to help top-
seeded Connecticut beat Prai-
rie View A&M 83-47 on Sat-
urday in the opening round of
the NCAA womens basketball
tournament.
Mosqueda-Lewis matched
the school record set by Ja-
melle Elliott in 1993 for points
by a Huskies player in her first
tournament game.
Bria Hartley added 18 points
and Stefanie Dolson had all 15
of her points in the first half
for the Huskies (30-4), who
will face eighth-seeded Kansas
State in the second round on
Monday night.
The Huskies hadnt played
in 11 days since winning the
Big East championship game
on March 6. They showed
little rust on offense, but took
a half to get back to playing
their superior defensive. Con-
necticut leads the nation in
scoring defense, giving up just
under 46 points per game.
Latia Williams scored 20
points to lead Prairie View
(17-16).
No. 2 Kentucky 68,
No. 15 McNeese State 62
AMES, Iowa Keyla Snow-
den scored 11 points, Azia
Bishop added 10 and Kentucky
squeaked by McNeese State.
SEC Player of the Year Adia
Mathies had just six points for
the Wildcats (26-6), who strug-
gled to put away the Cowgirls
until late in the second half.
McNeese State got within
63-57 on two free throws by
Martika Hull with 40 seconds
left, but the Cowgirls couldnt
get any closer.
Caitlyn Baggett had 22
points and Hull scored 20 with
13 rebounds for McNeese State
(26-8), which forced the na-
tions leader in turnover mar-
gin to give the ball away 20
times. But the smaller Cow-
girls were outrebounded 58-40
and couldnt pull off the upset.
No. 8 Kansas State 67,
No. 9 Princeton 64
Branshea Brown scored a
career-high 22 points and
grabbed seven rebounds to
lead Kansas State past Prince-
ton.
Janala Childs added 15
points for the Wildcats (20-13).
Niveen Rasheed had 20
points, and Lauren Edwards
and Devona Allgood each
scored 15 for Princeton (24-5).
The Tigers lost for the first
time in 18 games and for the
third consecutive year in the
first round of the tournament.
The win was the first in the
tournament for Kansas State
since 2009. The Wildcats have
not advanced past the second
round since 2004.
No. 11 Gonzaga 86,
No. 6 Rutgers 73
SPOKANE, Wash. Kayla
Standish scored 23 points to
lift Gonzaga over Rutgers.
Playing before a big crowd
on its home floor, Gonzaga
(27-5) mostly handled Rutgers
press and used a 3-point bar-
rage in the second half to hold
off the Scarlet Knights. Haiden
Palmer added 21 points for the
Bulldogs.
Gonzaga, in the tournament
field with an at-large bid for
the first time, took control
early and held off every Rutg-
ers charge.
Erica Wheeler had 28 points
for Rutgers (22-10), and Khadi-
jah Rushdan added 14.
No. 3 Miami 70,
No. 14 Idaho State 41
SPOKANE, Wash. She-
nise Johnson scored 20 points
and added four assists as Mia-
mi beat overmatched Idaho
State.
Third-seeded Miami (26-5)
will play 11th-seeded Gonzaga
(27-5) on Monday night, with
the winner advancing to the
round of 16.
Ashleigh Vella led Idaho
State (24-8) with 12 points.
The 14th-seeded Bengals were
winners of the Big Sky Confer-
ence tournament.
Miami played without All-
WCC guard Riquna Williams,
who did not make the trip to
Spokane for an unspecified
team violation. But it didnt
make much difference as the
Hurricanes were significantly
taller and faster than Idaho
State and dominated the game
from the start.
No. 7 Green Bay 71,
No. 10 Iowa State 57
AMES, Iowa Lydia Bauer
and Sarah Eichler each scored
16 points and seventh-seeded
Green Bay rolled over host
Iowa State.
Adrian Ritchie added 15 for
the Phoenix (31-1), wholl take
on second-seeded Kentucky in
the second round Monday.
Green Bay blitzed through
the Cyclones in their own
gym, running out to a 42-23
halftime lead and barely look-
ing back.
Iowa State got within 10
with 3:01 left, but the Phoenix
held on to reach the round of
32 for the third year in a row.
Hallie Christofferson led five
in double figures with 12
points for Iowa State (18-13),
which committed 30 turnovers
and lost its NCAA tournament
opener for the second straight
year.

PITTSBURGH Ohio State
busted the original bracket
buster.
Jared Sullinger scored 18
points, including two big bas-
kets in the final 3 minutes to
lead the Buckeyes past Gonzaga
73-66 on Saturday and into the
round of 16 for the third
straight year.
DeShaun Thomas also scored
18 for the second-seeded Buck-
eyes (29-7), while Aaron Craft
added 17 points and 10 assists.
Ohio State will play Florida
State or Cincinnati in the East
Regional semifinals in Boston
on Thursday.
Gary Bell Jr. led No. 7 seed
Gonzaga (26-7) with 18 points.
The Bulldogs erased a 10-point
deficit to tie it at 61 on a 3-
pointer by Elias Harris with
4:05 remaining, but Sullinger
knocked down two pretty hook
shots late while the Zags went
cold.
The steady play of Craft and
some gritty defense in the final
minutes helped Ohio State
avoid becoming the third No. 2
seed to lose in less than 24
hours. Fellow heavyweights
Duke and Missouri fell to up-
starts on Friday from one-bid
leagues.
Yet the Buckeyes knew the
Bulldogs are hardly scrappy
underdogs. They entered the
game with 17 NCAA victories
over the last 14 seasons, the
same as the Buckeyes.
The 18th will have to wait
until next year at least, though
Gonzaga again showed the
mettle thats made it perhaps
the most successful mid-major
program in the country.
The Bulldogs appeared to be
out of it after a putback by
Thomas gave the Buckeyes a
58-48 lead. Gonzaga responded
with a 13-3 run capped by a
3-pointer from the corner by
Harris.
Then Sullinger, who still
thinks about last years loss to
Kentucky in the regional semi-
finals, took over. He backed
down Gonzaga center Robert
Sacre and hit a soft little hook
shot from the right block to put
Ohio State back in front.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.
The Wisconsin Badgers are
riding the nations stingiest
defense back to the round of 16.
The Badgers held the South-
eastern Conferences two lead-
ing scorers in check Saturday
night and Ryan Evans grabbed a
crucial rebound with 2.1 sec-
onds left to help Wisconsin fend
off Vanderbilt.
John Jenkins (20.1) and Jef-
fery Taylor (16.3) were held to
13 and 9 points, respectively.
Trailing 59-57, the Commo-
dores had a chance for the win,
but Jenkins 3-pointer was long
and Evans grabbed the rebound
and was fouled with 2.1 seconds
left.
He sank the first free throw
but after a Vandy timeout, he
missed the second and the
Commodores called another
timeout with 1.3 seconds left to
set up the full-court play for a
chance to send this third-round
East Regional matchup.
Jared Berggren got his right
hand on Lance Goulbournes
overhand heave and as the ball
deflected high, he started cele-
brating Wisconsins fifth trip to
the regional semifinals under
coach Bo Ryan as the horn
sounded.
The Badgers lost to Butler
61-54 in the round of 16 last
season.
The fourth-seeded Badgers
(26-9) were led by Jordan Tay-
lors 14 points and also got 12
from Berggren, 11 from Evans
and reserve Ben Brust and 10
from Mike Bruesewitz.
The Badgers grabbed two
critical offensive rebounds in
the final minute. First, Berggren
rebounded a miss by Evans
with 46 seconds to go and then
Josh Gasser grabbed the board
with 16.3 seconds left. But he
missed the front end of a 1-
and-1, giving Jenkins the
chance in the closing seconds
to send fifth-seeded Vandy
(25-11) to the regional semi-
finals for the first time since
2007.
After losing to lower seeds in
their three previous trips to the
NCAA tournament in 2008, 10
and 11, the Commodores held
off Harvard 79-70 in their open-
er Thursday, but their senior-
laden lineup was stifled by the
Badgers, who led the nation in
defense, allowing just 52.8
points coming into the game.

urday in Pittsburgh. Ohio State won 73-66.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. It took a
while for Jae Crowder and
Marquette to get going.
When they finally did, howev-
er, Murray States hopes of
making its first trip to the re-
gional semifinals never stood a
chance.
Crowder scored six points
during a decisive 14-2 run late
in the second half, and No. 3
seed Marquette held on for a
62-53 victory that sends the
Golden Eagles to the West
Regional semifinals Thursday
in Phoenix. Crowder finished
with 17 points, 12 in the second
half, and 13 rebounds, and Dari-
us Johnson-Odom added 17 for
Marquette (27-7).
Isaiah Canaan had 16 points
for the sixth-seeded Racers
(31-2), who fell just short of
their first trip to the regional
semifinals. Jewuan Long added
12 points, and Ed Daniel tied a
career high with 14 rebounds.
But Marquette has made a
season out of late runs, and this
game was no different.
Todd Mayo made a pair of
free throws, and Crowder
banked in a jumper off the
glass.
Davante Gardner, who mis-
sed eight games at the end of
the season with a left knee
strain, followed with a layup
and a pair of free throws to put
Marquette back in front 49-46.
Ivan Aska briefly halted the
Marquette run with a putback,
but the Golden Eagles kept
right on going. Gardner made
another layup and then Crowd-
er drilled a 3, sending the out-
numbered Marquette fans into
a frenzy.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. Fresh-
man Marquis Teague is taking
Kentucky to the South Region-
al semifinals in Atlanta.
And maybe a lot farther than
that.
Teague scored a career-high
24 points and top seed Ken-
tucky put together another
complete performance with a
dominating second-half run in
an 87-71 victory over Iowa
State in the third round of the
NCAA tournament on Saturday
night.
Freshman Anthony Davis had
15 points and 12 rebounds,
senior Darius Miller added 19
points and Doron Lamb fin-
ished with 16. The Wildcats
(34-2) used a 20-2 burst to
break away from a tie and will
next face fourth-seeded Indiana
on Friday.
The Wildcats have plenty of
weapons and Teagues role as
point guard has been one of the
hardest. Hes had to learn un-
der coach John Calipari and
acknowledged earlier this year
he worried so much about it he
has had sleepless nights.
No more.
Now he and his teammates
will get another crack at the
Hoosiers, who beat Kentucky
on a last-second shot in Decem-
ber when the young Cats com-
mitted a defensive lapse that
cost them on the final play.
Among the players whove
improved the most since then
is Teague, often overshadowed
and compared to Caliparis
former point guards at Ken-
tucky and Memphis, including
John Wall, Brandon Knight,
Derrick Rose and Tyreke
Evans.
Royce White, who almost
transferred to Kentucky, scored
23 points and had nine re-
bounds before fouling out with
4:32 left for Iowa State (23-11),
which beat defending national
champion Connecticut on
Thursday night.
Baylor 80, Colorado 63
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.
Brady Heslip made nine 3-
pointers and finished with 27
points Saturday to lift Baylor to
an 80-63 victory over Colorado
in the South Regional.
Heslip, a transfer from Bos-
ton College who grew up in
Canada, helped break open a
tight game with a pair of 3-
pointers that were part of a 14-0
run and gave the third-seeded
Bears (29-7) a 75-60 lead.
Baylor made the regional
finals for the second time in
three years under coach Scott
Drew. The Bears will play the
winner of Sundays game be-
tween Xavier and Lehigh.
Pierre Jackson had 13 points
and 10 assists for Baylor.
Freshman Askia Booker had
15 points for 11th-seeded Col-
orado (24-12), which saw its
winning streak in the Pac-12
and NCAA tournament end at
five.

against 16th-seeded North Car-
olina-Asheville.
I think we pickedit uponboth
ends of the floor. Especially on
the defensive end, we got what
we wanted. We were able to get
transition baskets, said Kris Jo-
seph, who had 11 points. There
was a lot of space onthe offensive
end. We got open shots, open
looks; we knocked em down.
This is the way I like us to play.
Everyone was involved. The scor-
ing balance it was really bal-
anced tonight. Thats how were
supposed to play.
They hadnt looked that way
lately, even in their wins.
Syracuse scored fewer than 70
points it averages 74.5 in
five of the last seven games. The
Orange shot better than 46.5 per-
cent from the field their mark
for the season only once, and
the stretch included 3-point per-
formances of 1for 15, 5 for 20 and
3 for 14. Against UNC-Asheville,
they shot 44.6 percent overall
and 5 for 23 on 3s, and that in-
cluded making one of their first
13.
We won. We won the game. It
dont matter, Jardine said. It
dont matter if we played good or
bad. We won and advanced.
Thats what this tournaments
about. We saw a lot of upsets. A
No. 2 lost to a No.15 seed. Thats
what this tournament is about.
We dont worry about how were
playing; we just worry about get-
ting the W. Were advancing to
the Sweet 16. Thats all that mat-
ters when we get there, too.

Rodney McGruder had 15
points for the Wildcats (22-11),
who struggled from the field
against Syracuses 2-3 zone de-
fense.
Neither team had its leading
rebounder. Syracuses 7-foot Fab
Melo, the Big East Defensive
Player of the Year, was declared
ineligible by the school for the
rest of the tournament earlier in
the week. About 20 minutes be-
fore the start of this game, Kan-
sas State announced that Jamar
Samuels would be held out over
an eligibility issue.
It was tough playing without
him, especially one of our se-
niors. Hes one of the main lead-
ers of the team, McGruder said.
It was just tough, you know. Its
tough that he would never get to
play another game in a Kansas
State uniform. He missed his last
game.

Then it was time for Sheeheys
big shot. After Bradford Burgess
missed a pair of free throws for
VCU, Oladipo grabbed the re-
bound and raced the length of the
court. He was blocked by Theus,
but the loose ball bounced right to
Sheehey, who knocked down the
openshot for his only points of the
second half.
VCU had one last chance and
Theus drove aggressively into the
lane and passed out to Branden-
berg, but his 3 bounced on the rim
and came off as Indiana erupted in
celebration.
Burgess led VCU (29-7) with 15
points, but he had just three in the
secondhalf. Brandenbergadded13

scored10, only to be left crouched

VCUhadseenthat stunnedreac-
tion before, but it belonged to its
opponents most of the time over
the last two NCAA tournaments.
And for most of Saturday it ap-
pearedIndiana was goingtobe the
latest storied programto go down
against the Rams.
Treveon Graham and Branden-
berg made 3-pointers to give VCU
somebreathingroominthesecond
half. And the Rams pressure de-
fense was flustering Indiana to no
end.
Indiana trimmed the deficit to
57-53onbaskets by TomPritchard
and Remy Abell. But Abell missed
a 3 and consecutive Indiana turn-
overs its 19th and 20th of the
game plus a driving layup by
Brandenberg pushed the Rams
lead back to six with 6:30 to go.
Thats when Indianas defense
tightened and it stopped turning
the ball over.
HOOSIERS

PALM HARBOR, Fla.
Retief Goosen felt so much pain
in his lower back that he decid-
ed to pull out of next weeks
tournament and get treatment.
One day later, he found himself
atop the leaderboard in the
Transitions Championship.
Goosen ran off three straight
birdies late in his round Sat-
urday for a 6-under 65, giving
him a share of the lead with Jim
Furyk with more than just an-
other PGA Tour victory at stake.
Sunday is Goosens last
chance to qualify for the Mas-
ters.
Furyk, coming off his worst
season since he was a rookie, hit
a 6-iron to 3 feet for birdie on
the par-3 15th hole and had the
lead to himself until a three-putt
bogey up a steep slope on the
18th. He had a 66.
The two past champions at
Innisbrook were at 11-under 202,
with plenty of others behind
them.
Goosen started the third
round five shots behind Jason
Dufner, who had a 70. Going
into the final round, there were
26 players within five shots of
the lead on a Copperhead
course that allows birdies early,
and demands close to perfection
down the stretch.
Sang-moon Bae found that
out the hard way.
Bae, a rookie from South
Korea, had the lead to himself
for most of the back nine until
Furyk caught him at the 15th.
On the next hole, Bae drove into
the trees to avoid the water
running down the right side of
the fairway, pitched out, then
flew the green and three-putted
for a triple bogey. He birdied the
17th and salvaged a 68. He was
one shot behind, along with
Dufner.
Goosen has a bulging disk
and a degenerating disk in his
lower back, which forced him to
miss two majors last year. Kick-
ing a soccer ball with his son
last month caused it to flare up
again, and the pain has been
getting worse. What has saved
the South African this week is
the warm weather, and a few
adjustments in his stance to
help get through the ball. He
plans to get a protein injection
in his disks on Wednesday in
Virginia, similar to the treat-
ment that Vijay Singh and Fred
Couples have received in Ger-
many.
LPGA Founders Cup
PHOENIX Ai Miyazato
birdied three straight holes on
the back nine and finished with
a 6-under 66 for a share of the
lead with Yani Tseng in the
LPGA Founders Cup.
Miyazato, the ninth-ranked
Japanese player who has seven
LPGA Tour victories, birdied
Nos. 14-16 and closed with two
pars for a bogey-free round in
partly cloudy, breezy conditions
at Wildfire Golf Club. The
weather is expected to a big
factor Sunday, with the temper-
ature plunging into the 50s and
rain and strong wind forecast.
Tseng had a chance to take
the outright lead on the par-4
18th after hitting to 10 feet out
of the right fairway bunker, but
her birdie putt rolled just past
the left edge. The top-ranked
Taiwanese star settled for a 67
to match Miyazato at 14 under.
Tseng successfully defended
her LPGA Thailand title in
February for her 13th LPGA
Tour victory.
Toshiba Classic
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.
Mark Calcavecchia shot his
second straight 4-under 67 in
rainy conditions to take a two-
stroke lead in the Champions
Tours Toshiba Classic.
Calcavecchia, the 13-time
PGA Tour winner who won the
Boeing Classic last year for his
lone victory on the 50-and-over
tour, had six birdies and two
bogeys on the Newport Beach
Country Club course.
Fred Couples, the 2010 win-
ner, was a stroke back along
with Loren Roberts. Couples
shot a 69 in the round delayed
about two hours because of the
rain. Roberts had a 70.
Andalucia Open
MARBELLA, Spain Spains
Eduardo De la Riva shot a 4-
under 68 to take a one-stroke
lead at 12-under 204 after the
third round of the Andalucia
Open.
Eighteen-year-old Italian
Matteo Manassero (68) and
Englands Simon Khan (66)
were tied for second. Tourna-
ment host Miguel Angel Jime-
nez (69) was anither stroke back
along with Englands David
Lynn (68) and South Africas
Henni Otto (68).

BOSTON Tim Thomas
stopped Danny Briere on the
final shot after the first five
skaters in the shootout all
scored, and the Boston Bruins
snapped a four-game losing
streak by beating the Philadel-
phia Flyers 3-2 on Saturday.
Chris Kelly and Tyler Seguin
scored for Boston, and Thomas
made 27 saves in regulation and
the five-minute overtime. Tho-
mas, the reigning Vezina Tro-
phy winner, is 6-0 in shootouts
this season.
Ilya Bryzgalov made 31 saves
for the Flyers, who lost for just
the second time in nine games.
Matt Read and Jakub Voracek
scored for Philadelphia.
The Bruins passed Ottawa
and took over first place in the
Northeast Division and the No.
2 seed in the Eastern Confer-
ence heading into the Senators
game against Toronto on Sat-
urday night.
David Krejci and Seguin
scored for Boston to open the
shootout, answered by Read
and Claude Giroux. Patrice
Bergeron beat Bryzgalov on the
stick side, leaving Briere with a
chance to tie it.
The Flyers center skated in
quickly on Thomas but found
himself too close to the crease.
Pulling up, he put a weak shot
right into Thomas to end it.
The Bruins had allowed 21
goals over the last four games,
losing all of them.
Penguins 5, Devils 2
NEWARK, N.J Matt
Cooke scored two goals, Evgeni
Malkin had one and Sidney

toms.
Avalanche 3, Rangers 1
NEW YORK Colorado
rookie Gabriel Landeskog broke
a second-period tie, and Se-
myon Varlamov made 41 saves
to lift the Avalanche over the
sliding New York Rangers.
Landeskog gave the Ava-
lanche the lead, and Varlamov
made it stand up as playoff-
hopeful Colorado finished a
2-0-1 Eastern road trip.
The Rangers once seemingly
comfortable lead in the Eastern
Conference is nearly gone with
11 games remaining. New York
lost its second straight, and
fifth in seven games, as surging
Pittsburgh closes in. The Pen-
guins, who beat New Jersey
earlier Saturday to close within
two points, can get even with
the Rangers with a win Sunday
in Philadelphia.

MONTREAL Josh Bailey
scored the shootout winner to
lead the New York Islanders
past the Montreal Canadiens.
Mark Streit and Frans Nielsen
scored in regulation for the Islan-
ders, who snapped a five-game
losing streak. Al Montoya stop-
ped 28 shots.
Aaron Palushaj scored his first
NHL goal and Louis Leblanc
added another one for Montreal.
It was a tense shootout that
needed six rounds to decide the
winner. Nielsen and Montreals
David Desharnais in the first
round, then the Canadiens Rene
Bourque and the Islanders Matt
Moulson put the puck in the net
in the fourth round.
Hurricanes 5, Wild 3

second-period breakaway.
Schwartz, taken 14th overall
in the 2010 entry draft and

But he dropped a tough deci-

to fall to the fifth-place bout.
Thats when he dropped another
heart-breaker; this time 4-3 to
Pittsburghs Tyler Naumantoset-

HONOR
LEWISBURG Northeastern
Pennsylvania swimmers didnt
just go diving for buried treasure.
They bobbed and swam back-
wards and burst through the wa-
ter, all the time eyeing their pre-
cious prize.
By the time they were done,
Lake-Lehman boys diver Mat-
thewEdkins, the Dallas boys 400
freestyle relay teamandScranton
Preps Mia Nonneneberg all
found precious state medals Sat-
urday in the PIAA Class 2A
Swimming and Diving Cham-
pionships at Bucknell Universi-
tys Kinney Natatoriumon Satur-
day.
And before Elk Lakes Adam
Phillips picked up a piece of sil-
ver, Scranton Preps Rebekah
Campo found gold.
"District 2, great showing this
state race," exclaimed Dallas
coach Romayne Mosier, after
watchingher Mountaineers team
of Jake Chielli, Marcus Wagner,
Jack Matusiak and Brian Step-
niak earn a sixth-place state relay
medal for the second straight
night -- this time in the boys 400
freestyle. "Were leaving our
mark here."
"Im really happy with how I
did," said Edkins, who finished
sixth in boys diving with 373.35
points. "I was really shooting to
make the top six. Thats what I
did."
Campo was aiming even high-
er.
In her final high school race,
the decorated Prep swimmer
went gunning for gold -- and
found it by winning the girls 100-
yard breaststroke with a time of
1:03.84.
"Im very, very happy," said
Campo, a senior who staved off
Wilmingtons Lauren Barber by
nearly eight-tenths of a second to
emerge victorious. "I couldnt
have imagined a more perfect
race. Everything was spot-on."
That flawless performance in
the championship heat gave
Campoher secondstate gold, but
first individual championship.
She was part of Scranton Preps
statechampiongirls 200freestyle
relay team two years ago.
"The gold medals just icing on
the cake," saidCampo, whocame
in seeded first, and remained in
that spot through Saturday
morning preliminaries and then
through the state finals. "This is
my senior year, and a pretty great
one at that. I gave it everything I
had in my last state swim.
"I just wanted to finish great."
Not everyone from around the
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area had
such a great time.
Holy Redeemer sophomore
Michael Pahler finished a re-
spectable 10th in boys diving
with 322.35 points in just his sec-
ond year of diving and in his first
trip to states. But he missed
eighth place and the medal stand
by little more than 24 points.
"I wouldhave reallylikedtoget
a medal," Pahler said.
And he can pinpoint what pre-
vented it.
"I really wished Id hit my in-
ward double (somersault)," Pah-
ler said. "My knees buckled on it.
If I hit that and my reverse twists,
I felt I could have gotten a medal.
(But) 10th is a big step for the
first year at states."
Edkins took a big leap in the
same event.
The Lake-Lehman freshman
used consistency as his key to a
sixth-place finish, accumulated
on the strength of 373.35 points.
"Sucha bigmeet," Edkins said.
"I was definitely nervous to start
out. I just wanted to come in and
do my best and make my first one
the best one."
Using attempts that continual-
ly decreased in degree of difficul-
ty, Edkins relied on steady execu-
tion instead of the more spectac-
ular attempts in his arsenal to
make it to the medal ceremonies.
"We were shooting for the con-
sistency," Lake-Lehman coach
Erin Yurk said, "and he was able
to performthat with all his dives.
I think he did really well, espe-
cially not having experienced
this type of meet and setting be-
fore. Im excited for him."
The excitement for Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania competitors
was just beginning, though.
The Prep girls got a push in the
state points standings whenNon-
neneberg pulled a bronze medal
out of the girls 500-yard freestyle
with time of 4:57.63, before Cam-
po captured state gold.
In between, Holy Redeemers
Julie Ann Mahle made a surprise
run into the consolation race of
the girls 100-yard backstroke.
The junior entered preliminar-
ies as the 26th seed off her Dis-
trict 2 championship time of
1:02.23, but whittled that down
drastically at states.
"I had a bad district race. Kind
of gave me more motivation,"
Mahle said.
With extra effort, Mahle
shaved away more than two sec-
onds in her morning swim to
make the100 backstroke consola-
tion race -- where she finished
sixth in the event and 14th in the
state with a time of 1:00.89.
"I just wantedtolower mytime
and show what I could do," Mah-
le, a junior, said. "I didnt go as
fast as I wanted(inconsolations).
But its hard swimming twice a
day sometimes.
"Overall, Im happy."
Inthe end, Phillips andthe Dal-
las boys 400 freestyle relay team
were ecstatic.
Phillips took home a silver
medal in the boys 100-yard
breaststroke, finishing in 58.04
and a half-tenth of a second off
the winning pace.
Then it was time for Dallas to
put a stamp on District 2s suc-
cess.
Chielli, Wagner, Matusiak and
Stepniak had already come from
a 13th seed Friday to capture
sixth place in the boys 200 frees-
tyle relay. But accomplishingthat
same feat twice felt twice as nice.
"It feels great," saidChielli, the
only senior on Dallas state med-
alist relay teams. "I couldnt have
asked for anything more. It was
great to be able to end my last
high school meet on a good
note."
It finished District 2s success
with an exclamation.
In the nights final event, that
Dallas 400 relay team-- also seed-
ed13thcomingin-- swamtosixth
place in the championship race
with a time of 3:18.43.
"(Seeded) 13th and finishing
sixth twice, both relays, its awe-
some," Mosier said. "They want-
ed it. They went after it."

INDIAN WELLS, Calif.
John Isner fired 20 aces, includ-
ing one at 135-mph on his fourth
match point, to beat top-ranked
Novak Djokovic 7-6 (7), 3-6, 7-6
(5) Saturday in the BNP Paribas
Open semifinals.
Isner will take on either No. 2
Rafael Nadal or No. 3 Roger Fe-
derer in todays final, with Isner
trying to become the first Amer-
ican winner in the desert since
Andre Agassi in 2001.
Nadal and Federer were to play
for the 28th time but the first at
Indian Wells in the other semifi-
nal, although rain began falling
shortly after Isner left the court
on a cool, cloudy day.
Victoria Azarenka and Maria
Sharapova will meet for the wom-
ens title today.
Isners victory guaranteed he
will break into the top 10 for the
first time in next weeks ATP
Tour rankings at No. 10. Avictory
in the final would move the
American to No. 8, passing coun-
tryman Mardy Fish who is cur-
rently in that spot.
Isner is the first American to
beat a world No. 1 since James
Blake defeated Federer in the
2008 Beijing Olympics.
Isner needed nearly three
hours to reach his first ATP Mas-
ters 1000 series final after 25
tries. He didnt get past the round
of 16 in his first 23 events until
making his first semifinal inParis
last fall and now the final in the
desert.
He threw his arms up and
soaked in the applause from the
crowd that was squarely behind
him throughout the match.
Its something that you dont
experience every day, Isner said.
I was just trying to take it all in.
The6-foot-9Americantowered
7 inches over Djokovic, giving
Isner an easy advantage with his
serve-and-volley game. He
played a few loose points in the
12th game of the final set, send-
ing a forehand past the baseline
on his first match point, and Djo-
kovic held to force the second tie-
breaker.
Isner aced Djokovic with a143-
mph serve to lead 3-2, then hit a
forehand winner down the line to
go up 4-2.
I told myself I was going to
run around the backhand and hit
a forehand, and I was just hoping
that he wasnt going to hit the
serve up the T.
"He had been doing that quite
a bit, especially on the ad side,
Isner said. I wanted to put a
goodhit ontheball becauseif you
dont, he just gets you moving.
Thats why hes the best in the
world.
Isners 144-mph serve forced
Djokovic intoa nettedreturnthat
set up Isners second match
point.
Even Djokovic caught himself
looking at the scoreboard to see
how fast Isners serves were.
Sometimes just to admire, be-
cause I will never get there, he
said, laughing.
Isner connected on 74 percent
of his first serves, although Djo-
kovic actuallywon11more points
than he did in the match.

TAMPA, Fla. Gio Gonzalez
heard the rumors that the Phila-
delphia Phillies were interested
before the Washington Nationals
traded for him.
Hes just fine with that.
Really.
Im happy here, Gonzalez
said after a spring outing against
the New York Yankees.
These arent the same old Na-
tionals, whoare usedtobeingthe
doormats of the NL East. They
havent had a winning season
since they were the Montreal Ex-
pos, and have finished last five
times during their seven years in
Washington.
But the Nationals are optimis-
tic theycanmakeamoveinadivi-
sion that might be even tougher
now than recent years.
We want to be in the playoffs,
closer Drew Storen said. Were
not saying we just want to be
.500. We want tobe playinginOc-
tober and we want to win it.
The Phillies have owned the
East, winning five straight divi-
sion titles. They still have a staff
full of aces, but injuries to key of-
fensive players Ryan Howard
and Chase Utley and age are a
factor. The Phillies still are the fa-
vorites, but other teams have nar-
rowed the gap.
The Miami Marlins improved
with the offseason additions of
Jose Reyes, Heath Bell, Mark
Buehrle and Carlos Zambrano.
The Atlanta Braves should be
better after leading the wild-card
race most of last year until a late-
September collapse.
Then there are the Nationals.
They startedshowingsigns of go-
ing for it when they signed out-
fielder Jayson Werth away from
the Phillies before last season.
They even pursued Prince Fiel-
der during the offseason. Werth
struggled trying to live up to his
$126 million contract. Still, hes
one of the cornerstones on an of-
fense that includes Ryan Zim-
merman, Michael Morse, Ian
Desmond and Danny Espinosa.
Bryce Harper might not be too
far away from joining them, too.
Harper, the No. 1 overall pick in
the2010draft, cametocampwith
a chance towinthe startingjobin
right field. The 19-year-old mis-
sed a week with a strained left
calf, and moved to center field
when he returned. Hell likely
start the season in the minors,
but could be up at some point.
The Nationals finished strong
last season, going 80-81. It was
their highest win total since they
went 81-81 in their first year in
Washington in 2005.
Its a new year. Whatever hap-
pened last year, you focus on the
new year, outfielder Roger Ber-
nadina said. The front office did
agreat jobgettingnewpitchers in
here. That builds confidence in
the clubhouse. Guys inthe offsea-
son did things to get better.
Getting Gonzalez in a deal
with Oakland bolstered the start-
ingrotation. The26-year-oldlefty
fits nicely between right-handers
Stephen Strasburg and Jordan
Zimmerman. He was 16-12 with a
3.12 ERA last year.
The Nationals also added vet-
eran Edwin Jackson to the rota-
tion. Jackson earned a World Se-
ries ring with St. Louis, beating
the Phillies in Game 4 of the NL
division series along the way.
Washington signed former Phil-
lies closer Brad Lidge to add bull-
pen depth behind Storen and All-
Star Tyler Clippard.
Were right up there with any
rotation, Espinosa said. With
the East being a tough division,
we have to have that kind of
pitching. We have confidence in
every single pitcher and know
that they can keep it a low-scor-
ing game, which should give us a
chance to win a lot of games.
Gonzalez isnt that boastful.
As long as we stay healthy and
stay focused and have the drive,
we want to be up there, we want
to be with the best and obviously
Philadelphia has been holding
that title for a while, Gonzalez
said. But we want togoout there
and do our best and compete
with them. Were trying to play it
one step at a time and not think
that far ahead. We have a lot of
work to do.
Strasburg is the key to the rota-
tion. The kid with the 100 mph
fastball was a national phenom-
enon before elbowsurgery. He re-
turned to make five starts down
the stretch last year, and is ex-
pected to be the ace of a promis-
ing staff.

Nats want to shake up NL East
Washington believes it has the
right combination to finally
contend for divisional title.

T
he little unnamed stream
flows through the woods of
Bear Creek Township before
it empties into Laurel Run.
It doesnt look any different than
the hundreds of other coldwater
streams that traverse the regions
mountains, but this stream with no
name could hold some extra impor-
tance.
The stream, which is near the
Seven Tubs Natural Area, is one of
several hundred that, until now, had
never been surveyed for the pres-
ence of wild trout.
In 2009, the Pennsylvania Fish
and Boat Commission and cooperat-
ing partners consisting of several
colleges and univerisities, including
Kings, began surveying waterways
to document the presence of nat-
urally reproducing wild trout.
Its a daunting task, considering
the enormous amount of streams in
the state that have long flowed on
forgotten.
Last week the PFBC released a
list of streams that have been sam-
pled and, according to preliminary
results, may be eligible to be listed
as a wild trout water or even a Class
A wild trout stream.
A stream that is known to sup-
port natural reproduction of trout
may still be stocked, but a Class A
waterway one that supports a wild
trout population large enough to
maintain a long-term fishery, isnt
stocked.
And the survey work to find them
is kind of like a treasure hunt. It
takes a lot of time and effort, but
the reward can be substantial.
Consider the unnamed tributary
to Laurel Run. It was surveyed for
the first time in June 2011. In a
1.5-mile stretch, wild brook trout
were discovered.
Actually, it works out to 32.57
pounds of wild brook trout per acre.
To qualify for Class A status, a
stream must have a wild brook trout
biomass of at least 26.7 pounds per
acre.
Where the stream has no name
The stream without a name more
than meets the minimum, and thats
why it is proposed to be listed as
either a Class A or a wild trout
water.
That makes it a pretty special
stream.
Its hard to believe that a stream
with such a thriving population of
wild brook trout one that flows
only several miles from Wilkes-
Barre, could go unnoticed for so
long.
But these are the very gems that
the PFBC survey is discovering.
In addition to the Laurel Run
tributary, there are two other Lu-
zerne County streams both trib-
utaries to Black Creek in the south-
ern part of the county, that are eligi-
ble for the wild trout water listing.
So far, 1,049 streams have been
surveyed across the state during the
past two years. More than 500 have
been listed as Class A waters, and
there are still more than 10,000 yet
to survey.
It will take years until every
stream is surveyed, and the work
will become more difficult as crews
begin to explore the more remote
streams in the state.
A tough job, but one worth fin-
ishing when one considers the po-
tential yet to be discovered and the
risks that threaten the wild trout
streams as they flow in relative
obscurity.
Streams such as the unnamed
tributary to Laurel Run. We need to
know where they are and what they
hold.
Even if some of them dont have a
name, they are all worthy of being
protected.

Hunters in Pennsylvania
harvested an estimated
336,200 deer during the 2011-
2012 season, an increase of six
percent from the previous
seasons harvest of 316,240.
Hunters took 127,540 an-
tlered deer in the 2011-12 sea-
sons, an increase of four per-
cent from the previous license
years harvest of 122,930. Also,
hunters harvested 208,660
antlerless deer in 2011-12, which
is an increase of eight percent
from the 193,310 antlerless deer
taken in 2010-11.
This years antlered deer
harvest is slightly above aver-
age harvest since 2005, when
the Game Commission began
efforts to stabilize deer pop-
ulations in most of the state,
said Carl G. Roe, Game Commis-
sion executive director. An-
tlered deer harvests increased
in 13 of the states 22 Wildlife
Management Units. Those
WMUs in which the antlered
deer harvest increased were
WMUs 1B, 2A, 2B, 3B, 3C, 3D, 4A,
4B, 4D, 4E, 5A, 5B and 5D.
Harvest estimates for 2011-12
seasons are based on 114,000
harvest reports submitted by
hunters to the Game Commis-
sion. Of the reports submitted,
49 percent were done using the
long-time report card mail-in
system, 47 percent were done
through the agencys online
reporting system and only three
percent were received through
the agencys new toll-free tele-
phone system.
Hunter success rates for
antlerless deer remained at 25
percent of the number of an-
tlerless icenses issued, which is
on average with recent years.
Button bucks represented 21
percent of the antlerless har-
vest, which is similar to the
long-term averages and falls
within the annual range of 21 to
24 percent for the past 15 years.
As for the remainder of the
antlerless harvest, 60 percent
was adult does and the remain-
ing 19 percent were doe fawns,
which falls within the annual
range of 18 to 20 percent for
the past 15 years.
Total deer harvest estimates
by WMUs in the northeast
region (with 2010-11 figures in
parentheses) are as follows:
WMU 3B: 5,900 (5,400)
antlered, 7,700 (7,600) antler-
less;
WMU 3C: 7,100 (6,200) an-
tlered, 9,900 (8,300) antlerless;
WMU 3D: 4,500 (3,900)
less;
WMU 4C: 5,500 (5,700)
less;
WMU 4D: 7,100 (6,300) an-
tlered, 6,600 (5,500) antlerless;
Season-specific deer harvest
estimates for the northeast are
as follows:
WMU 3B: firearms, 4,400
antlered, 5,000 antlerless;
archery, 1,440 antlered, 1,360
antlerless; muzzleloader, 60
WMU 3C: firearms, 5,500
WMU 3D: firearms, 3,200
antlered, 740 antlerless;
WMU 4C: firearms, 3,800
antlered, 890 antlerless;
WMU 4D: firearms, 5,600
antlered, 1,080 antlerless.
Deer count
up 6 percent
last season
a more offensive approach was taken.
Its a little bit easier and I am more
comfortable with what were seeing, he
said as the crews efficiently lit and burned
a four to five acre parcel and repeated the
process.
As the last sections burned into the
black, crew members drove around the
parcel extinguishing any hotspots and
inspecting the fire breaks to make sure the
flames didnt cross.
We had to be super careful on a day like
this and I dont know if there was anywhere
else I wouldve done a burn today, McEl-
henny said as smoke spiraled into the air
from the charred landscape. But we got
exactly what we wanted to here.
Fire may not be a silver bullet when it
comes to managing habitat, but it is a
valuable option that can really add variety
and diversity to the landscape.
were doing this is really the best weather,
McElhenny said. Just be careful.
To get an idea of how the flames would
spread across the grass, a test fire was
started in a corner of the burn area. A few
streams of flame from a drip torch ignited
the grass in an instant, and McElhenny
watched the fire intently.
We need it to be dry and windy so the
fire carries through the grass, he said.
Well also watch the ash. If its all black
then its not burning enough, and if its all
gray then its burning too much. If every-
thing looks good with the test fire, then
well continue through.
The test fire met McElhennys expecta-
tions, so he directed the crew to pair off
and expand the fire over two larger areas.
Working out from the corner, the crews
worked with their backs to the wind and
ignited several fire lines behind the black-
ened area left from the test fire.
Achieving a large burnt section, or a
black area, is important for several rea-
sons. The burnt area acts as another fire
break in addition to the cleared lanes that
surrounded the sight, and it gave the crews
a safe haven to retreat to in case the flames
suddenly switched direction.
The thing that Im most worried about
is establishing the black, McElhenny said.
The black is our safety, and I feel a lot
better when that area gets larger.
Rather than let the entire 32 acres of
grass burn in a single inferno, the crews lit
a section at a time and allowed the wind to
push the flames across the grass until it
reached the previously burned area where
the fuel had already been consumed. That
allowed the flames to die down before
another section was lit.
Burnt strips were established alongside
existing fire lanes, and then the crews
began igniting the interior of the parcel. As
the black area grew larger, McElhenny said
The Pennsylvania Game Commission
and The Nature Conservancy did a little
spring cleaning Wednesday on a 32-acre
grassland near Francis Walter Dam.
But there were no mops and dust rags
needed for this job.
Instead, crews set out on the landscape
with drip torches, hoes, shovels and a
whole lot of fire to get the job done.
The grassland, which is located on U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers property and
enrolled in the PGCs public access pro-
gram, was the target of a prescribed burn.
The first flames were lit at 10:30 a.m. and,
four hours later, the drab brown grassland
had been transformed into a smoky, char-
red landscape.
This is a prep burn for warm season
grasses, said Pat McElhenny, fire manager
for The Nature Conservancy. By burning
the cool season grasses, it invigorates the
growth of the warm season grasses.
To aid in the process, the site will be
treated with herbicide and then planted
with more warm season grasses to create a
wildlife oasis.
But first comes the fire, and its not as
simple as striking a match and dropping it
in the dry grass.
More than a dozen employees from the
PGC and The Nature Conservancy took
part in Wednesdays prescribed burn a
methodical process that is shaped with a
ton of planning and safety precautions.
McElhenny gathered the workers in the
morning for a briefing to go over weather
conditions, the plan of attack and the lay of
the land. Low humidity and a gusty wind
from the northwest made for ripe burning
conditions with a degree of unpredict-
ability.
Its very dry right now, but for what

Pennsylvania Game Commission land manager Mike Beahm watches as flames consume a section of grasslands during a pre-
scribed burn near Francis Walter Dam.
Lighting the future
By TOMVENESKY
Now that the fire has subsided on the grass-
lands near the Francis Walter Dam, the Penn-
sylvania Game Commission will begin trans-
forming the area into a lush wildlife oasis.
According to PGC land management supervisor
Pete Sussenbach, because the fire removed the
thatch layer on the ground, it will enhance the
growth of weeds and cool season grasses. To
combat the problem, the area will be treated
with herbicide in early summer to kill the
undesirable species. As the soil temperature
warms, a no-till drill will be brought in to plant
native warm season grasses.
After two years the new grass will be about
knee-height, Sussenbach said. After that, the
grasses will flourish and provide thick cover.
In eight to 12 years, the area will need to be
burned again to invigorate new growth, Sus-
senbach said. Every place that weve used fire
so far, the results have been remarkable.

Peyton Manning worked out
for Tennessee on Saturday in
Knoxville, Titans general man-
ager Ruston Webster said.
The GM said he thought
Manning looked comfortable
throwing the ball and we had a
good visit.
This is another important
step in the process, Webster
said. Manning spent eight hours
meeting with Tennessee exec-
utives on Wednesday.
Webster was joined at Sat-
urdays workout by Titans head
coach Mike Munchak, chief
operating officer Mike Reinfeldt,
offensive coordinator Chris
Palmer, quarterbacks coach
Dowell Loggains and strength
coach Steve Watterson, a person
familiar with the session told
The Associated Press.
Saturday was Mannings third
workout for teams this week.
On Friday, the four-time NFL
MVP worked out at Duke for
Denver. Tuesday night he
worked out at the Blue Devils
facilities for San Francisco.
Manning has been rehabbing in
North Carolina following a
string of neck surgeries.
And the quarterback is get-
ting good reviews.
After throwing for Hall of
Fame QB turned Broncos exec-
utive John Elway and Denver
coach John Fox in a workout
that lasted a little under two
hours. When it was over, Elway
seemed convinced that Manning
is still Manning
We enjoyed visiting with
Peyton today in N.C., Elway
wrote on his Twitter account.
He threw the ball great and
looked very comfortable out
there.
A few minutes later, Elway
posted: Watching him throw
today was the next step in this
important process for our team
and Peyton. It was a productive
visit and went well.
Manning, who turns 36 on
March 24, missed the 2011 sea-
son with the neck injury, which
led to him being released by
Indianapolis.
Duke football coach David
Cutcliffe said Manning looks
good.
Cutcliffe Mannings offen-
sive coordinator at the Uni-
versity of Tennessee said
Saturday morning that Manning
has been throwing at game
pace.
Philadelphia Eagles
PHILADELPHIA Guard
Evan Mathis and the Philadel-
phia Eagles have agreed on a
five-year contract, the latest key
player the team has locked up.
A person familiar with the
negotiations says Mathis deal is
worth $25.5 million with $7
million guaranteed. Mathis is
coming off his best season in his
first year with the Eagles. He
earned a starting job in training
camp and moved into the lineup
at left guard just days before the
teams first game.
N.Y. Giants
NEW YORK Steve Weath-
erford earned Tom Coughlins
trust with one clutch punt after
another.
The New York Giants reward-
ed him with a long-term deal for
being a reliable force during
their Super Bowl run.
A person familiar with the
deal said that the Giants and
Weatherford agreed to terms on
a five-year contract worth $12.75
million.
Indianapolis Colts
INDIANAPOLIS Colts
coach Chuck Pagano is finding
defensive help in familiar places.
Three days after bringing in
one ex-Ravens free agent, the
Colts added another by signing
safety Tom Zbikowski on Sat-
urday. Details of the contract
were not immediately available.
Its yet another offseason
acquisition from the city the
Colts once called home.

BRISTOL, Tenn. Elliott Sa-
dler went14yearswithout avicto-
ry inthe Nationwide Series. Now,
hehas twointhelast threeweeks.
Sadlerpickeduphissecondvic-
tory of the season Saturday when
his crew chief left him out on the
track on old tires during the final
caution at Bristol Motor Speed-
way.
The call put Sadler in the lead
on the final restart, with 28 laps
remaining, and he easily held off
Kasey Kahne and Brad Keselow-
ski.
Prior to his win two weeks ago
at Phoenix, Sadler hadnot wonin
the Nationwide Series since Oct.
31, 1998, at Rockingham. That al-
so was the last season he won
multiple races in the Nationwide
Series, and the year he scored his
only other win at Bristol in the
second-tier series.
To win two of the first four
races is awesome, and weve got
to keep adding to them. Theres
blood in the water, said Sadler,
the Nationwide Series points
leader.
After what Ive been through
the last couple of years in racing,
this damn sure feels good.
Sadler raced to his first career
Sprint Cup victory at Bristol in
2001, when he stayed out on old
tires andpulledoff animprobable
victory.
Crewchief LukeLambert was a
senior in high school watching
that 2001 race from the grand-
stands, and decided Saturday to
borrowthat strategy.
Kyle Busch brought out the fi-
nal caution of the race with 38
laps to go, and most everyone
headed to the pits. Lambert left
Sadler on the track, even as Sa-
dler protested the decision.
That was a great call by Luke.
HeremindedmeI wonaracehere
in 2001 by doing the same thing,
staying out, Sadler said. I want-
ed this one worse than anything
because I love this race track so
much.
Kahnefinishedsecondandwas
followed by Brad Keselowski,
who praised Sadlers Richard
Childress Racing car.
Joey Loganoleda race high119
laps and finished fourth, while
Dale Earnhardt Jr. was fifth.

SCHLADMING, Austria
Lindsey Vonn set a womens re-
cord for the most World Cup
points in a season Saturday after
finishing eighth in a slalom won
by Austrias Michaela Kirchgass-
er.
Vonn reached 1,980 points to
beat the mark of 1,970 set by Jan-
ica Kostelic of Croatia in 2006.
I am very happy with that,
said Vonn, the overall champion
who needs 21 points in Sundays
giant slalom to also overtake
Austrian great Hermann Maiers
12-year-old record of 2,000
points.
Vonn will
need to finish
12th or better
to overtake
Maier and
match his re-
cord by placing
13th.
I hope I can do it tomorrow. I
will fully attack, she said. I am
going to take risks, but I will also
ski smart.
The American said it was her
goal to get a few points from the
slalomher weakest discipline
to make Sundays task a little
easier.
Slalom has been a struggle
for me in the last couple of
years, she said. Ive got a cou-
ple of top 10s this season but
have not been finishing very of-
ten so it was good step for me.
After a clear, cold night, the
sunshine softened the snow and
made for difficult conditions.
It was definitely really warm
for the second run, Vonn said.
It was tough. I personally dont
do well with really soft condi-
tions. I struggled a little bit and
maybe didnt ski as aggressively
as I could have done. But I had
two solid runs without major
mistakes.
Vonnis alsoanoutside conten-
der for the GS title. She has to
win the race while leader Vikto-
ria Rebensburg of Germany fails
to score points.
In that case, Vonn would win
her record fifth crystal globe of
the season after the overall
championship, downhill, su-
per-Gand super combined titles.
Ive got a minor chance, said
Vonn, who won her first GS race
this season. I will give every-
thing andhope to make the podi-
um.
Kirchgasser finished in 1 min-
ute, 32.57 seconds for her third
career victory.

the warm weather and lack of snow
this winter has brought us, to me
nothing says its officially spring
until Ritas opens. And I was there
the first day earlier this month to
grab an iced coffee ice. And it was
yummy. I hope they have that flavor
in stock again on Tuesday. If not I
guess chocolate, coconut, root beer
or vanilla will have to suffice.

ighlightingthe enjoyment of
a cold frosty pint, and the
friendship that often fol-
lows, one area entrepreneur put the
wheels in motion, creating Carls
Beer Tours.
Carls Beer Tours is not a brick
and mortar company, but an online
business, www.carlsbeertours.com,
offering people safe transportation
to and frombeer and wine festivals and other events.
Carl Achhammer of Sugar Notchdevelopedtheidea
of Carls Beer Tours after researching the history of
beer and noticing drinking was a social event.
My first thought about a bus trip and a drinking
teamcamefromresearchingbeer andits history. I real-
ized drinking has been a social event since ancient
Mesopotamian times; everyone
wouldgather inacircleor at atable
for community interaction, he
said. I wanted everyone to experi-
ence this and get themmore expo-
sure to micro or craft beer.
Five years ago, he held his first
trip to a festival at Spilt Rock Re-
sort and sawhis dreamtake shape.
With 50 participants, all wearing
brightly colored shirts saying Drinking Team, he
saw, with a little hard work, his goal could become a
reality.
Everyone had a blast and made new friends, he
said. That is why we go out, right?

The business school might be facing a
newbusiness model.
If one area of higher education was re-
shaped by the Great Recession, it might
be the beleaguered B-school. At the peak
ofthedownturn, applicationstomasterof
business administration programs hit re-
cordhighsacrossthenation. Then, just as
suddenly, demandplummeted.
Applications to full-time MBA pro-
grams nationwide dropped by one-fifth,
from48,515 to 38,630, in the 2010-11aca-
demicyear, reversingallgainsoftheprevi-
ous year, according to the Association to
Advance Collegiate Schools of Business,
an accreditor. Newer figures from the
GraduateManagementAdmissionCoun-
cil showtwo-thirds of U.S. programs saw
applications decline in2011-12.
The zigzagging numbers look much
like a volatile week on the stock market.
Its a sharpcontrast tothe trendinunder-
graduate college applications, which
have drifted steadily up through good
times andbad.
Perhaps more worrisome, the number
of American students taking the GMAT
entrance exam stands at a five-year low.
To compensate, business schools are ac-
cepting international students in ever-
greater numbers.
Business-school admissions are noto-
riouslycyclical,andindustryleadershope
newpeaks lie ahead. But there is a grow-
ing sense among deans that something
has changedfor good.
We still get all the phone calls, said
EdwardLavino, anadmissionsdirectorat
theRobertH. SmithSchool of Businessat
the University of Maryland. But theyre
sort of deferring their interest. A lot of
them are saying, My company is doing
cutbacks. I dont want to commit to an
MBAprograminthe face of that.
For the American student, at least, the
MBAis no longer a golden ticket. Gradu-
ate business schools have become so nu-
merous, anddegreessocommon, thatthe
letters no longer confer such handsome
rewards in rank and pay. Business-school

MORE THAN 4 out
of 5 managers of
stock mutual funds
failed to beat the
market last year.
Its the kind of
news you might
expect someone like
John Bogle would jump on, and say,
Told you so. The Vanguard funds
founder is an apostle of passive index
investing, and the notion that in-
vestors shouldnt expect to gain an
advantage paying a manager to pick
stocks.
Yet Bogle didnt gloat in an in-
terview about this weeks key finding
by S&P Indices: 84 percent of man-
aged U.S. stock funds failed to beat
the Standard & Poors Composite
1500. That index of stocks small and
large returned nearly 1.8 percent
including dividends last year, while
stock mutual funds lost an average
2.6 percent. It was the worst result in
the 10 years that S&P has tracked
performance of managed funds.
Noting that the 2011 result was
markedly worse than any other, Bo-
gle cuts managers some slack. One
isolated year should be ignored, he
says.
After all, a single year isnt long
enough to base any conclusion about
how to invest over the decades that
most of us will be in the market.
Instead, its critical to consider
long-term results. There, the evi-
dence also suggests an index ap-
proach will serve most investors
better than active management. One
example is S&Ps finding that over
the past 10 years, the average per-
centage of managed funds underper-
forming in a given year was 57.
The bottom line is that the odds
are stacked against anyone thinking
he or she can select a managed fund
thats likely to outperform a compara-
ble index fund, year after year.
In fact, its very unlikely a manager
will outperform the market for three
years in a row, according to Srikant
Dash, an author of the S&P study.
And its highly unusual to achieve
that feat for five years running.
Bogle, who runs Vanguards Bogle
Financial Markets Research Center,
estimates theres a less than 1 per-
cent chance that an actively managed
fund will beat its market index over
an average persons investing life-
time.
The main reason is the higher fees
that managed funds charge compared
with index funds, which seek to
match the market, rather than beat
it. Theres no one picking stocks, so
costs are lower.
Index fund expenses typically
range from 0.1 to 0.5 percent, while
the lowest-cost options charge just
0.06 percent $6 per year for every
$10,000 invested.
Expenses at managed U.S. stock
funds average 1.34 percent, according
to Morningstar. The average expense
drops to 0.74 percent when the calcu-
lation factors in that lower-cost funds
tend to have more investors and
assets than more expensive funds
Managed funds higher fees are
difficult to offset, even if a manager
is a strong stock-picker. Fees drain
returns whether a manager has a
good year or a bad one. A funds
expenses are almost always a more
significant factor in long-term re-
turns than any edge a manager can
achieve.
Thats not to say an index ap-
proach cant go wrong, because some
index funds are pricey. A few funds
tracking the S&P 500 index assess
more than 1 percent.
Yet the disappointing 2011 per-
formance is more bad news for man-
agers. The results are unlikely to
help them stem the flow of cash out
of their funds. Last year was the fifth
in a row that investors have with-
drawn more cash from stock mutual
funds than they put in. In each of
those years, exchange-traded funds
have attracted more than $100 billion
in new cash.
Index funds are growing as well.
They held about 5 percent of stock
fund assets in the mid-1990s. That
grew to nearly 15 percent in 2010,
according to the trade group Invest-
ment Company Institute.

Q: I work in a county govern-
ment agency with a co-worker,
Pam, who is crazy. Pams men-
tal state is so deteriorated that
she has been placed in an empty
office where she cries and
screams all day. She keeps yell-
ing things like I am not a mur-
derer and I never killed any-
one.
Recently, Pamhas become ve-
ry suspicious. She has accused
several co-workers of talking
about her andcallingher akiller.
She believes that her home and
computer are bugged and that
county employees are following
her. I have tried to be under-
standing and caring, but now
Pam accuses me of watching
her.
The human resources manag-
er says theres nothing manage-
ment can do about this. Our
boss sometimes sends Pam
home, but he cant do that every
day. The rest of us are sick of the
drama and concerned for our
safety. Weve shared our fears
with management, but nothing
changes. Is there anything we
can do?
A: This is ridiculous. No em-
ployer is required to tolerate an
employee who is both highly
disruptive and quite possibly
psychotic. If your managers are
worried about legal liability,
their real concern should be
what happens if they fail to act
and someone is harmed as a re-
sult.
Since your HR manager ap-
pears to be totally useless, you
and your colleagues should con-
tact the countys legal depart-
ment. An attorney with experi-
ence in employment lawcan ad-
vise your agency head about the
proper way to handle this situa-
tion. Before taking any action
with Pam, management should
also consult with security and
mental health experts to insure
that no one gets hurt.
For your own safety, you must
minimize contact with this de-
ranged woman. Remain pleas-
ant and friendly, but keep your
distance. As you have already
seen, peoplewithparanoidtend-
encies frequently incorporate
those around them into their
sinister fantasies, so youwant to
avoid becoming part of Pams
delusional system.
Q: Are applicants required to
tell a potential future employer
that they were terminated from
their previous job? If so, how
should this be done?
A: In an interview, you are un-
der no obligation to reveal the
fact that you were fired. At the
same time, however, you never
want to lie during a job search.
To walk this fine line, you need
torealize that there canbe many
honest answers to the same
question.
One way to avoid this dilem-
ma altogether is to reach agree-
ment with your former employ-
er on what reference checkers
will be told. Despite your termi-
nation, management may have
no desire to interfere with your
reemployment. They might
therefore be willing to describe
your departure as a resignation.
If this option is not realistic,
then you will need to devise a
suitable explanation along the
lines of, We agreed to part ways
because it wasnt a good fit.
Your objective is to avoid giving
the interviewer a reason to wor-
ry, so you must craft a response
that doesnt raise any bright red
flags about either your compe-
tence or your attitude.

began to roll along.
Achhammer reaches custom-
ers through face-to-face contact,
by handing out business cards
and with social media.
The tough economy did not
stop Achhammer from pushing
forward.

beer industry will withstand the
test of time.
The industry is not going to
dissolve like it did in the 1990s,
he said. My goal is tohelpit stay
alive and get people on the road
to great beer.
Achhammer, having tried
about 6,000 different beers, calls
himself a beer enthusiast and
hopes to share his passion with
others.
I am making every effort to
evolve this concept into some-
thing bigger. Craft beer is a pas-
sion and I have loved sharing it
with people since my first Black
Rockbeer about10years ago, he
said.
His next trip will be to the
Electric City Craft Beer Festival
on April 15. For a cost of $65,
participants will receive admis-
sionto the festival, a free t-shirt,
a bus ride to avoid a DUI and an
after party food buffet at Bart

where he is a manager and bar-
tender.

He also is planning trips to
baseball games, including one to
Baltimore, Md., to see the Phil-
lies and the Orioles game, pub
crawls, and concerts with a stop
centered around a craft beer, a
winery or a unique food destina-
tion.
Bigger trips, to Germany for
Oktoberfest and to the Great
American Beer Festival in Den-
ver, Colo., are on tap for next
year.
Those will take a lot of plan-

Business school applicants have
answered those trends by gravitat-

Having a paycheck is really
nice, said Jessica Klein, 28, a stu-

And attending full-time would
have meant leaving a good job she

SACRAMENTO, Calif.
Bruce and Judy Parks know the
sweet spot when it comes to
baked goods. For more than 20
years, their Tarts & Truffles bak-
ery and catering company was a
popular Sacramento-area fixture,
serving everyone fromgovernors
tograndmothers.
But by 2003, the couple found it

launch a website and let it sit. To
succeed, business owners must
become schooled in using search

While ChocolateBakery

WORST TO FIRST TO
MIDDLING
At the start of the year, it was
easy to guess which stocks were
doing best: the ones that did
worst in 2011. Stock performance
in the first two months of 2012
looked like a mirror image of
2011. First Solar, for example, fell
74 percent last year. It rose 30
percent in the first six weeks of
2012. Netflix fell 61 percent in
2011. In January, it jumped 73
percent. But that worst-to-first
dynamic may have run its course,
Goldman Sachs strategists say.
First Solar, for example, has sunk
since mid-February and is now
down about 20 percent for the
year.
THE OLD BULL AND CHAIN
Before investing in a stock, check the ring finger of the CEO. Stocks of com-
panies with single CEOs tend to be more volatile than those with married
CEOs, researchers say. Two professors from the University of
Pennsylvanias Wharton School combed through the actions of CEOs from
1993 to 2008, checking to see which were married. They found that compa-
nies run by single CEOs tend to spend more on acquisitions, advertising and
other investments. Their stocks also tend to be 3 percent more volatile,
meaning they have
higher highs and lower
lows than stocks run by
married CEOs. The re-
searchers say the differ-
ence may be because
single CEOs care more
about their status due to
worries about finding a
partner. And status-
seeking behavior can
lead to more risk taking.
TARGETING RETIREMENT
More people are taking a
hands-off approach to retire-
ment investing. Vanguard says
that 24 percent of investors who
have a 401(k) or other defined-
contribution retirement plan with
it have all their savings in just
one target-date retirement mu-
tual fund. These funds take
care of all the investment deci-
sions for investors. They start
off invested mostly in stocks,
but as the investors retirement
date approaches, they move
more into bonds. Five years
ago, only 4 percent of investors
had all their 401(k) savings in
just one target-date retirement
fund.

Investors continue to flood into bond
mutual funds, thinking that they are
safe. But the interest rates that
bonds offer are low, and Mark Egan
says that investors may need to low-
er their expectations. Agood goal
now from bonds is to simply beat in-
flation.
Bond yields are low, and inves-
tors are worried that rates will
rise, which would mean prices for
bond funds would drop. Are
things really that bleak?
Yes and no. Clearly, prospective
rates of return are going to be quite
low, and the challenge will be to
achieve a rate of return greater than
inflation. That means two things: If
youre a defensive investor, afraid of
the risk of rising rates, that would
push you into very short-term securi-
ties (because the prices of short-
term bonds are less sensitive to
changes in rates than long-term
bonds). The problem with that is that
short-term yields are close to zero.
So, waiting for higher rates can be
quite expensive. Moving out the
curve into longer-term debt, yields
get a little bit higher, but the potential
for losses gets larger.
I think what investors need to do
is look away fromTreasurys and get
a slightly higher rate of return, in cor-
porate bonds specifically. That
means higher-quality investment-
grade corporate bonds and some
higher-quality high-yield bonds
(which are also known as junk
bonds). They can give decent re-
turns while waiting for higher rates.
Investors shouldnt expect the big
returns for bonds to continue?
All you can really hope to do right
now is OK and hope to achieve a
reasonable rate of return. The time
for taking risk was in the past,
whether it be 2008 or last year. Tak-
ing some credit risk then paid divi-
dends, but those times are gone.
Now its to minimize the cost of
waiting.
So what looks good now?
There are some opportunities
where the rates of return are pretty
good. You may want to go out a lit-
tle further in some of the higher
quality banks, where you can get
rates of return of 5 percent or better,
which isnt something you want to
bet the farm on. If you bring it down
to a 2-year security, you can get 2
percent.
Two percent is not a lot.
Two percent is bigger than zero
(which is essentially what a short-
termTreasury bill pays).
How about high-yield bonds?
I think there are some pretty good
opportunities there, for sure, in cer-
tain types. But you have to be cau-
tious when everyone is doing the
same thing: Everyone is going for
dividend paying stocks and high
yield. Part of that is the fundamen-
tals are great: Corporate default
rates are low, cash is high. But the
overall rates of return are quite low.
There are certain pockets that
make sense, like Ford, where the
rates of return are a bit higher.

Who he is: Portfolio manager of the
Scout Core Plus Bond fund
His track record: His fund has
returned an annualized 7.9 percent

percent of intermediate-term bond
funds.
What he suggests: Focus on
corporate bonds and get used to
lower returns.

Even pro baseball players drop the ball. But anyone
paying for investing expertise may be dismayed to learn
that stock mutual fund managers had an unusually tough
time last year. Fewer than one in five delivered returns
that beat the stock market. That's the lowest number in
the 10 years that S&P Indices has analyzed the data.
All told, some 84 percent failed to surpass the
Standard & Poor's Composite 1500. That broad index
returned 1.8 percent including dividends last year, while
stock mutual funds lost an average 2.6 percent.
S&P examined funds based on market capitalization
large-, mid- and small-cap and investment strategy
growth, core or value. Large-cap value fund managers
posted the best results, with 54 percent failing to beat
their benchmark. The worst were large-cap growth fund
managers, with 96 percent missing the mark.
The study notes that one-year performance results
can vary depending on whether the market was up, down
or flat. But over a five-year period, a majority of stock
fund managers in most categories lag their benchmarks.
Its more ammunition for those favoring lower-cost
index funds.
Believing you can find a fund manager whos likely to
beat the market is like saying, Im the smartest guy in
the room, says John Osbon of Osbon Capital
Management, whose firm manages about $50 million for
wealthy private clients. You might be, but your chances
arent good.
Managed funds often underperform because their
returns are lowered by fees. Index funds generally charge
much less as little as $6 per year for every $10,000
invested, compared with $134 for managed funds.

Screener
Medium-sized stocks often get overlooked.
Investors looking for big-name companies tend to turn to Apple,
Exxon Mobil and other large-cap stocks. For stocks with big growth
potential, investors often look at the smallest companies.
But mid-cap stocks have offered the biggest returns over the last
decade. The S&P 400 index of mid-cap stocks is up about 85 per-
cent over the last 10 years. That compares with 20 percent for the
large-cap S&P 500 index and 65 percent for the small-cap Russell
2000 index.
This screen from Credit Suisse shows the mid-cap stocks that have
been gaining in popularity. At the end of the fourth quarter, 62 mid-cap
mutual funds owned Joy Global, a maker of mining equipment, for ex-
ample. Thats up from 43 three months earlier.
Joy Globals net income rose 39 percent last quarter to $142.4 mil-
lion on stronger equipment sales to Australia, Latin America and South
Africa. The company says it expects economic growth in emerging
markets to continue to drive demand.

Treasury yields climb
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose to its
highest level since October on signs that the
economy continues to improve. Higher Treasury
yields can pull up rates on various types of con-
sumer loans and savings accounts. Freddie Mac
said the average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage
rose to 3.92 percent last week from 3.88 percent,
for example.

HOLDIT. Congressional
redistricting has ripped
vast chunks of Luzerne
and Lackawanna counties
fromthe familiar confines
of the10th and11th dis-
tricts that for decades
were our federal flagships
in Northeastern Pennsylvania and Washing-
ton, D.C.
Like a pack of ravenous wolves, the re-
cent apportionment of Pennsylvanias con-
gressional seats tracked large swaths of
Lackawanna and Luzerne, gruesomely
excising entire towns, thousands of people,
attaching themwith piano wire to the17th
Congressional District centered historically
to the south in Berks, Dauphin (Harrisburg
area), Lebanon and Schuylkill counties.
Once the muscle and heart of our con-
gressional districts, massive amounts of
tissue have been hacked away fromthe
body politic; Carbondale, Scranton, Moosic,
Pittston, Wilkes-Barre, Plains Township,
Avoca, Dupont, Hughestown, Wyoming,
West Wyoming, along with many munici-
palities in Carbon, Monroe and North-
ampton counties, have been transplanted to
district 17 to boost its numbers.
Acareful reading of the lawthat seeks to
transforma significant slab of Northeastern
PAinto a congressional appendage declares
that district 17 will nowbe composed of
part of Carbon County; part of Lackawanna
County; part of Luzerne County; part of
Monroe County; part of Northampton
County; and all of Schuylkill County.
Hold it. The17th District contains only
certain parts of five counties but ALLof
Schuylkill County?
Yep, and the17th is represented by in-
cumbent Democratic Congressman Tim-
othy Holden of (drumroll please)
Schuylkill County.
While only a fraction of Luzerne and
Lackawanna counties are included, diluting
our influence and obstructing the path for a
hometown candidate to launch a meaning-
ful campaign, every square inch of Holdens
home county (Schuylkill) remains intact
and in the district.
Well isnt that special.
Democrat Holdenhas beenworkingthe
reconfigureddistrict for some time, liningup
support andcommitments before the lines
were drawn, dry or revealed, hopingtodeter
other Democrats fromenteringthe race and
expectinglittle if any Republicanopposition
inNovember.
Time was short and none of the usual
cast of Democratic candidates surfaced in
Luzerne or Lackawanna counties. Some
had been carved out of the district, while
others found too little home turf remaining
fromwhich to launch a credible campaign
against a well-funded and very clever in-
cumbent.
Rather than lift a finger against the politi-
cal hatchet job so violate of our region,
submissive political leaders once again
fell mute and fell in line.
This month Holden received the unani-
mous endorsement of the Luzerne County
Democratic organization. Holdens ground-
work, worked.
Well, almost.
Fewanticipated that Matt Cartwright,
the respected attorney often seen on
WBRE-TVs The Lawand You, also would
announce his candidacy for the Democratic
nomination for Congress in the new17th
District.
Cartwright lives inMoosic onthe Luzerne-
Lackawanna county line. He has launcheda
vigorous, regional campaigntore-establisha
strongandmeaningful voice inCongress.
Andpeople are listening.
Party leaders tend to think of Holden as a
prohibitive favorite. Party leaders always
think that way, believing conventional
wisdomwill inevitably play out.
Party leaders should do the math.
There are roughly 240,000 registered
Democrats in the parts of the five dis-
membered counties and the whole of
Schuylkill County that make up the17th
Congressional District. However, a little
more than100,000 of those Democrats
reside in the previously mentioned or-
phaned sections of Luzerne and Lackawan-
na counties alone.
Add to that the estimated 33,000 Demo-
crats removed fromMonroe, the 45,000
subtracted fromNorthampton and the
14,000 chopped off Carbon, and there might
be plenty of voters ready to upend any
conventional apple cart placed before them.
Forget Romney, Gingrich and Santorum.
Holden and Cartwright is the race to watch.

P
RAGUE, Okla. Funerals, likeweddings, canbemessy
family affairs. Not everything goes according to plan.
Emotions run high. Even pleasant people can be
tense.
Few people who met Patsy Thorpe third
andmost difficult spouse of JimThorpe, that
primordial American athlete accused
her of being pleasant, in particular
Thorpes children fromprevious mar-
riages.
So when she pulled up to her
husbands in-progress Native
American funeral service at a
farm near here on the night
of April 12, 1953, with a
hearse and a highway pa-
trolman in tow, everybody
knew something bad was
about to happen.
What transpired, however, is
perhaps unmatched in the histo-
ry of American funeral proceed-
ings.
She barged into the service and an-
nounced that her dead husband was
too cold.
She ordered the coffin loaded into the
hearse, then drove away, taillights disappear-
ing into the darkness.
Over the next several months, she shoppedthe
body around, looking for a memorial for himand
cashforher. Afteralienatingalmost everyone, she
wound up 1,340 miles away in the Poconos of
Pennsylvania, asking two tiny boroughs strad-

A stone marker commemorates Jim
Thorpes birth site near Shawnee,
Okla. "Ive got nothing against the
town," son Richard Thorpe says of
Jim Thorpe, Pa. "But we want Dad
back here in Indian Country."
BY NEELY TUCKER The Washington Post
IVE GOT NOTHING AGAINST THE
TOWN. BUT WE WANT DAD BACK
HERE IN INDIAN COUNTRY. WE
WANT TO FINISH THAT FUNERAL.
Richard Thorpe,
One of two surviving Thorpe children
Bill Thorpe, one of Jim Thorpes
seven children, holds a portrait of
his father at his home in Arlington,
Texas.
Before becoming Jim Thorpe, Pa., Mauch Chunk and East Mauch
Chunk were two towns trying to shore up finances. They built a
Thorpe memorial in hopes that unification under the Thorpe banner
might attract the proposed NFL Hall of Fame. Those hopes were not
fulfilled.
IN THE wake of Slut-
gate, the operative
argument seems to
have devolved into a
barnyard taunt: My pig
isnt as bad as your
pig.
This pithy summa-
tion comes from Fox News anchor Greta
Van Susteren, who has been leading the
charge against vile language used to
describe women in the public square.
Among other things, Van Susteren de-
serves credit for single-handedly sham-
ing the Radio and Television Corre-
spondents Association into parting ways
with its headliner for this years dinner,
comedian Louis C.K.
On her blog, Gretawire, she prom-
ised to boycott the dinner and invited
others to join the protest. Her reasons
should be clear with a quick scan of
C.K.s shtick, which well get to shortly.
But first a word about some of the other
offenders and why we need to have this
conversation.
As many have observed lately, including
Peggy Noonan, who last week wrote a
powerful column about misogyny aloft in
the land, Rush Limbaugh isnt the only
culprit to use the word slut and prosti-
tute to describe a woman with whom he
disagreed. MSNBCs Ed Schultz called
radio host Laura Ingraham a slut and later
apologized. Limbaugh, who reserved his
comments for a 30-year-old law student,
Sandra Fluke, also apologized, if begrudg-
ingly once sponsors began pulling away.
And, of course, everyone remembers
what happened to Don Imus when he
referred to a womens basketball team,
which happened to be mostly African-
American, as nappy-headed hos.
There isnt sufficient space here to
comb the history of slurs or how we
got to this point from the hilarious
Jane, you ignorant slut skit from the
original Saturday Night Live, though a
quick note of distinction bears mention-
ing: Jane Curtin was in on the joke. And,
remember, she countered with: Dan
(Aykroyd), you pompous ass.
Like most women in the media, Ive
grown accustomed to vile and vicious
attacks. Its part of the marinade in which
we swim now. Ive always figured, well,
thats the game. Get tough. Hit delete.
Deal. But my feelings, raw as they might
be at times, are not what matters. What
does matter is that our children are grow-
ing up in a world that believes its OK to
denigrate women. They are witnesses to
adults laughing at jokes about women
being sluts, whores and worse. When the
object of derision is Sarah Palin, jokes
are even made about her Down syndrome
child.
Which brings us back to Louis C.K.,
whose jokes are so beyond anything
we should find funny that its hard to
comprehend how he was selected to
amuse a gathering of journalists. Of
Palin, he says: her f------ retard-making
c--- and the baby that just came out of
her f------ disgusting c---.
If youre not disgusted, please leave
now. Similarly, though not nearly as
graphically, comedian Bill Maher has
called Palin a dumb t---. Palin support-
ers and others concerned with decency
have wondered where the outrage was
then. Fair question.
Many also wonder why President
Obama, who found time to call Fluke
out of concern for his own daughters,
never raised his voice for Palin. Or why
hes accepting a $1 million contribution
from Maher to his super PAC. Like any
candidate, Obama doesnt control his
super PAC, but he does control his
voice, and it has been notably silent
about certain women.
Lets be clear: Demeaning women for
fun and profit might be legal and permis-
sible in a free society, but it shouldnt be
acceptable. The argument that comedi-
ans fall into a different category is valid
to a point, but journalists and public
leaders dont have to be parties to their
act. It isnt funny, even if some women
apparently think so.
Therein lies at least half the problem.
As long as women are yukking it up along-
side men while women are reduced to
disposable sexual objects and their chil-
dren regarded as sub-human, well, we
have a ways to go. And though such re-
marks might not hurt successful women
like Van Susteren, who is the longest-
sitting news anchor on cable TV, they do
hurt young women and little girls.
And they also hurt young men and
especially little boys, who adore their
mothers and who, provided the right
example, are capable of becoming the
honorable and decent men everyone,
including the president, hopes their
daughters will marry.
In the barnyard we call American
culture, a pig is a pig is a pig.

Light After Lightning
One hundred years ago, the Sac
and Fox athlete Wa-tha-sko-huk,
aka Light After the Lightning, aka
Jacobus Franciscus Thorpe, be-
came an American Colossus. He
hasstoodastridethatpedestal ever
since the most famous Native
American of the 20th century, per-
haps the greatest athlete the conti-
nent has ever produced.
In the 1912 Olympics in Stock-
holm, he won the decathlon and
the pentathlon, a feat never dupli-
cated. His scores in the combined
15eventswereoff thecharts. Heset
recordsthat tookdecadestobreak.
Yet, this is only a fraction of his
legend.
Standing 5-foot-11and weighing
about 185, he played college foot-
ball attheCarlisleIndianIndustrial
School inPennsylvania. He was by
far the nations best player and led
his team to unofficial national ti-
tles.
He was the star who almost sin-
gle-handedly created professional
football. He was the first president
of what became the National Foot-
ball League. (TheProFootball Hall
of Fame is in Canton, Ohio, be-
cause of Thorpes championship
career withthe CantonBulldogs.)
Duringthisperiod, heplayedpro
baseball for six years.
In 1950, sportswriters over-
whelmingly named him the na-
tions greatest athlete of the half-
century. In second place draw-
ing barely a third of Thorpes first-
place votes was Babe Ruth.
Themanspersonal lifewasmor-
tal, messy andsad.
Bornonthe remote Sac andFox
reservation in 1887 (often incor-
rectly reported as 1888), three
years before the massacre at
WoundedKneeput abloodyendto
the Indian wars, he was five-
eighths Indian and endured a life-
time of racist slights andinsults.
His twin brother died when he
was 9. His mother died when he
was 14. His father died when he
was16.
He was stripped of his Olympic
medals in 1913 for having played
semi-pro baseball before the 1912
Games, aticky-tackviolationof his
amateur status. (The medals were
posthumously returnedin1982.)
He died of a heart attack in his
trailer in Lomita, Calif., on March
28, 1953, poor if not impoverished.
He was 65, fat, bloated and mis-
shapen. Thorpe biographer Kate
Buford writes that Patsy left the
body in the trailer overnight.
Friends transported him to a mor-
gue, then arranged (and paid for)
the tripback home to Oklahoma.
Buford spent eight years work-
ingonher seminal biography, Na-
tive American Son, published in
2010. She says she was moved by
Thorpes generosity, his warmth,
his genuine nature and his refusal
toact like the egotistical, self-entit-
ledathletes of the modernera.
He wasnt a complicated man,
she says, but what happened to
himwas.
Sofranko, the mayor, thinks
Thorpe is just fine right where he
is.
He politely points out that his
boroughhasdonefar morethanre-
quired in the three-page legal con-
tract with Patsy. That some of
Thorpes children are disgruntled
by their stepmothers burial plans,
he says, is probably not unusual in
terms of familydisputes. It certain-
ly shouldnt compel a town to give
upits namesake.
Bringing Thorpe here, chang-
ing our name, all that weve invest-
edover theyears, thatspart of who
wearenow,hesays. Hebroughta

Schwab says the borough is dug
in. If it loses at the District Court
level, he says it will appeal.
Sofranko, the mayor, considers
all this over his barroom beer. Its
getting on in the evening and its
snowing, the flakes dustingthe vil-
lage with a hushed, white blanket.
The street out front is deserted,
dark, the pavement icing up.

There is no theology to explain exactly where Jim Thorpes soul is
now, says Henrietta Massey, an esteemed elder member of the
Sac and Fox tribe in Shawnee, Okla., who was at the funeral in-
terrupted by Patsy Thorpe. "Nothing like it had ever happened
before," she says, "and hasnt happened since."

Editorial
ITS ALWAYS fascinating
when people on either side
of a partisan divide give
each other gifts.
Case in point: President
Obamas approval of a rule
ordering Catholic institu-
tions to offer insurance policies covering
birth control, sterilization procedures and
the morning after pill all contrary to
church teachings.
No one has fully explained why Obama
took this step. It always was assumed that
under the conscience protections enacted
after Roe vs. Wade, church-run facilities
would not be forced to provide such ser-
vices.
After all, Obama signed an executive
order following passage of the health care
act stating that the longstanding federal
laws to protect conscience remained intact.
And yet we woke up one day to read that the
government was ordering Catholic institu-
tions hospitals, charities and schools to
provide coverage for birth control and the
rest. Churches themselves remained ex-
empt.
For Republicans, it was an unexpected
gift. Voters already hate Obamacares
personal mandate. Here was a subspecies of
the same authoritarianism: We dont care
about your beliefs. Comply or face millions
in fines.
Most Catholics use birth control, but they
werent likely to welcome the government
telling the church which doctrines it can
observe and which it cant.
Before long, it dawned on the White
House that perhaps a teensy misjudgment
had been made. So last month the president
announced what he pretended was an ac-
commodation. Church institutions
wouldnt have to pay for birth control, steril-
ization and abortifacients. Insurance compa-
nies would do it. For free.
As Harvard economist Greg Mankiw dryly
noted, theres not a dimes worth of differ-
ence between the two approaches. Insurance
costs are passed on to the purchaser.
Attempts to work out the wrinkles in
the policy with Catholic bishops only em-
phasized the administrations high-hand-
edness. In a recent letter to his fellow bish-
ops, Cardinal Timothy Dolan recounted how
staffers from the Catholic Conference of
Bishops were told there werent any wrin-
kles. Nothing proved negotiable. The rule
had been published in the Federal Register.
And by the way, why dont you bishops
listen to more enlightened voices in the
church? In other words, the government was
saying, as Dolan put it, that we bishops
simply do not know or understand Catholic
teaching.
Truly amazing. But never mind. The Ca-
tholic left cried hosanna and the media
played the accommodation as something
real.
Then along came Sandra Fluke of George-
town Law and it was the other sides turn to
give.
Fluke told a preposterous tale about the
$3,000 it cost for birth control during three
years of law school, apparently unaware that
a Target outlet near the university sells
generic birth control pills for around nine
bucks a month.
Listening to all this, Rush Limbaugh
made the point that it sounded as if Fluke
wanted to be paid to have sex, then he reck-
lessly followed this thread until he careened
into disaster. Why, she must be a slut and
a prostitute, he declared and on hearing
this, the left and its Democratic allies were
overjoyed.
Now there could be no question thank
you, El Rushbo! that the GOP is waging a
war on women and this is all about womens
health. Heaven knows no one wants to talk
about the government giving orders to the
church. No, its about Republicans wiping
out birth control pills or as New Jersey
Democratic Sen. Frank Lautenberg put it,
how the GOP wants to take the country
back to when women were property.
Lautenbergs histrionics might stand as
the climactic aria in the comic opera phase
of all this. But Obamas gift will prove the
more lasting.
The White House has needlessly bought
itself a great deal of trouble and a likely
Supreme Court case. As with so much that
this administration has done, the latest
debate again prompts the question: If they
can do this, what can they not do?
If the White House can do this, what can it not do?

For Republicans, it was an unexpected gift.
Voters already hate Obamacares
personal mandate. Here was a subspecies
of the same authoritarianism: We dont
care about your beliefs. Comply or face
millions in fines.
KABUL, Afghanistan
Rights groups are becom-
ing increasingly concerned
that the Afghan govern-
ment is willing to surren-
der womens rights to
advance peace negotia-
tions with the Taliban.
The latest indication that womens
rights could be eroding came when the
150-member Council of Religious Scholars
recently issued a code of conduct for
women that, among other things, calls for
segregation of the sexes in the workplace
and in education and prohibits women
from traveling unless accompanied by a
close male relative.
President Hamid Karzai appeared to
back the scholars recommendations,
stressing their knowledge of religious
matters and claiming that the code was
not discriminatory.
Latifa Sultani, coordinator of the wom-
ens rights section at the Afghanistan Inde-
pendent Human Rights Commission, said
the proposals, which include allowing men
to beat their wives under certain circum-
stances, were troubling.
We are concerned about the increasing
growth of fundamentalist thought, she
said. Women already face various re-
strictions on a daily basis.
The Council of Religious Scholars is
backing government-led peace negotia-
tions with insurgent groups, and some
observers conclude that its new public
stance on womens rights is part of a pol-
icy of appeasement.
In view of the current political situa-
tion, I believe this declaration is of politi-
cal rather than practical intent, political
analyst Mahmoud Saiqal said, arguing that
the government wanted to show the Tali-
ban that their demand for Islamic precepts
to be implemented is acceptable, and that
they should trust it and continue with the
negotiations.
Wida Ahmad, head of the Afghanistan
Social Adjudicators Association, also
suspects the clerics of attempting to en-
gage with the Taliban in pursuit of recon-
ciliation. But she said their proposals
would never become reality.
Over the past 10 years, Afghan women
have achieved political maturity and they
arent going to accept this kind of pres-
sure, she said. There are still some peo-
ple in government who have Taliban-like
ideas, and they are against all kinds of
female participation in various areas of
public life, but their efforts will be futile.
Shahla Farid, a lecturer in law at Kabul
University, noted that the ideas set out by
the clerics ran counter to the Afghan con-
stitution, which proclaims equal rights for
men and women.
Why doesnt the Council of Religious
Scholars issue declarations and regula-
tions when Afghan women are sexually
abused, forced into marriage and have
their civil and Islamic rights violated? she
said. The council is always trying to ha-
rass women. It has never done anything to
ensure the rights of women in society.
And some women wondered why the
role of women in Afghan society seems to
occupy so much of the clerics time.
Are the killings of innocent people,
mutilations, violence, bribery, theft of
state and private land, drug-smuggling
and other crimes in accordance with the
provisions of Quran, asked Yalda, a Kabul
resident. If not, why doesnt the Council
of Religious Scholars issue a declaration
on those issues?
Why does it focus only on women?"
Will womens rights be sacrificed for Taliban truce?

AGING ALL pro-
ducers of TV news-
magazine shows such
as 60 Minutes and
Dateline, plus fellow profes-
sionals of an investigative ilk
in magazines, metro newspa-
pers and film.
Youre missing it.
One of the biggest untold
stories at the national level
continues to unfold in North-
eastern Pennsylvania, so turn
your attention away from Bla-
gos misdeeds and
the bluster of the
presidential cam-
paign trail. Instead,
focus on the icky,
emerging disgrace
that has darkened
this small corner of
our supposedly
democratic country
for three years running: an or-
gy of public corruption.
Dozens of bad guys in the
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area
so far, the culprits almost all
are white men veiled in posi-
tions of authority essentially
have hijacked our institutions,
including a county cour-
thouse, several public school
districts and county and state
government offices. To date,
federal authorities have
nabbed about 36 of the greed
misers who resorted to brib-
ery, extortion, theft and other
means to enrich themselves
and their families at the ex-
pense of the community, its
residents and their collective
future.
Among the abusers of the
public trust: three county
judges, three county commis-
sioners (from two adjoining
counties), court officials, a
school superintendent, school
board members, business ti-
tans, attorneys and, according
to this weeks announcement,
retired 40-year state Sen. Rob-
ert Mellow of Lackawanna
County. Another ex-state sen-
ator is under investigation, as
is a 77-year-old lawyer who
incidentally is the father of a
Luzerne County judge ac-
cused of running a multiyear
Ponzi scheme that bilked in-
vestors out of more than $1.5
million.
Dont misunderstand: The
Times Leaders reporters go to
extraordinary lengths to bring
readers the latest develop-
ments, chase new leads and
expose wrongdoers. We have
top-notch journalists. But this
place overflows with more
muck than a single rake can
comb.
Besides, the antidote to this
regions rampant corruption
lies partly in sustained, un-
wanted attention which is
how the nation-
al media can
play an impor-
tant role in our
recovery, pre-
suming recov-
ery is possible
any time soon.
The network
TV vans rolled
in during the early days of Lu-
zerne Countys outrageous
2009 kids-for-cash scandal,
then scooted. Its time they re-
visit. Stay awhile. Root
around.
Show the world and, per-
haps most important, demon-
strate to the shell-shocked,
law-abiding residents of this
region that what has hap-
pened here is aberrant behav-
ior, deserving of exposure and
eradication.
Area residents can become
numbed by local headlines
about the latest arrest, the
most recent plea deal. Area
high school students might
soon graduate after four years
of secondary learning, having
known only that public ser-
vants are not to be trusted.
Outsiders can help to put
our regions sordid mess into
perspective and point toward
solutions.
For lasting improvements
to take hold, law enforcers
must continue their crack-
down on corruption here for
as long as it takes. Likewise,
this newspaper and other
media must amplify messages
about what has happened, and
why.
Better we work to blow up
the level of public attention on
these problems than, to the re-
lief of some people, simply al-
low things to blow over.

EARLY HALF A cen-
tury ago, Mitt Rom-
neys father, Gov. Ge-
orge Romney, ran for
the Republican nomination for
president. There were many
questions about his candidacy,
but almost none about his Mor-
mon faith.
That was as it should be. Al-
though Americans like to think
of themselves as more enlight-
ened today, in 1968 there was
general acceptance that religion
was a private matter and that
church and state were separate.
That was in part because of
President JohnF. Kennedy, who
had made it clear in his 1960
campaign that his paramount
loyalty was to the Constitution.
The nationseems to be going
backward. This month, Richard
Land, president of the Southern
Baptist Conventions Ethics and
Religious Liberty Commission,
said that in his opinion Mitt
Romneywas not aChristian. He
compared Mormonism to Is-
lam, a description meant to set
off alarm bells.
Land added that he might be
able to accept Romney as presi-
dent, but he trusted Rick Santo-
rum more. That is hard to un-
derstand, because Santorum
has said he doesnt believe
church and state must be sepa-
rate.
There are valid grounds on
which to challenge Mitt Rom-
neys candidacy. His religion is
not one of them.
Voters have a right anda duty
to question his position on any
issue, and to ask whether his
policies are the right prescrip-
tionfor America. But hisperson-
al beliefsought tobeamatterfor
him and his conscience. Mor-
mons have beenDemocrats and
Republicans, governors andsen-
ators, excellent public servants
andsomewhowereless so, as is
true of politicians of every faith.

M
y golden years are not
feeling as bright as I had
hoped. I am so frustrated
by politicians in this area
their apparent lack of regard
for doing the right thing,
putting self-interest over the
interests of the people, lacking
the courage of their convic-
tions, etc.
In fact, it has become so
dark to me that I have decided
it is time to turn the very
bright, hot spotlight back on
those we elect to serve us.
And I have a plan.
It seems many of our area
leaders need a reminder as to
the meaning of the word poli-
tics. It comes from the Greek
politicos, which translates to
of, for or relating to citizens.
That said, politics is meant
to be a process by which
groups of people make collec-
tive decisions.
Too often, we have politic-
ians in our area making uni-
lateral decisions. We wit-
nessed recently, for example,
some Butler Township super-
visors attempting to take
health insurance from Butler
resident tax dollars to the
tune of more than $30,000. It
was only when the people
the collective stood up and
demanded that they give up
taking personal health insur-
ance that they finally conced-
ed.
The days of politicians try-
ing to get away with things
based solely on self-interest
must end. It is time the people
of Greater Hazleton step up
and hold folks accountable.
Shortly after Easter, I will
announce the formulation of
an organization of citizens
who will work to ensure our
area leaders focus on the col-
lective and not upon the self.
This group will watch every
move leaders make, like we
have not watched before. We
will come out aggressively to
voice our opinions on issues
related to the community.
We will hold rallies. We will
raise money and take out
advertisements. We will write
endless letters to the editor.
We will picket. We will take
back the ballot box. We will
get courageous and do what it
takes to regain a collective
pride and a collective voice.
We will be Doberman-like
watchdogs, and we wont wear
muzzles.
This group will be neither
Democrat or Republican.
Doing the right thing is sim-
ply doing the right thing, and
the incessant partisan politic-
ization of every tiny thing that
occurs around here is an enor-
mous part of the problem.
Get ready, Greater Hazle-
ton. I will not go gently into
that good night in my golden
years. And I want to encour-
age all, once this first group
meeting is announced, to join
the organization and shine a
light back on the darkness
that, sadly, has become what
too many of our leaders know
and our community experi-
ences.

Obama: Too much
power, too far left
E
ven as the Obama adminis-
tration has compromised
in order to retain the liber-
al Catholic vote, this mandat-
ing of free birth control for all
insured women demonstrates
the complete lack of respect
the president has for religious
convictions and reinforces his
social engineering agenda.
Obama and the left have
stood by this ruling and de-
fend it as being part of a wom-
ans basic right to good health
care. They have further de-
fended it by citing statistical
information showing over-
whelming percentages of
sexually active women, who
use birth control, being in
favor of the edict.
The entire ordeal that re-
cently played out is a prime
example of a president with
far too much power exercising
it in ways some people never
had intended. This is regard-
ing the documented support
various Catholic charities and
other religious groups swung
toward President Obama
during the passage of the
health care reform act. In the
wave of good feeling that
swept good-intentioned peo-
ple to support the eventual
law, some never stopped to
question exactly what kind of
powers were going to be
granted to the president.
The consequences of pass-
ing the bill to see what was
inside, as urged by then House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi, are now
apparent: a president who can
not only determine what is
best for individuals, but also
mandate those same individu-
als and organizations purchase
something even it that trumps
their constitutional rights.
Let us be clear, the Catholic
Church and its subsidiary
social work and educational
outlets were not telling their
female employees that they
could not work for those in-
stitutions if they choose to use
contraceptives. That would be
discrimination. The church
was expressing its right, grant-
ed in the Constitution, to
practice its values and choose
to not buy insurance packages
that include contraceptive
coverage.
It is not the governments
place to intervene in the ac-
tions of a private company
regulating itself based on
religious conviction.
At the heart of resistance to
the Obama mandate and the
health care bill are personal
freedom and personal respon-
sibility. The actions of the
Obama administration are
reinforcing the omission of
personal responsibility, which
is incumbent upon the individ-
ual citizens of a society to
exercise. The fact is simple: If
you work for a company that
does not have an insurance
plan to cover contraceptives,
you have every right and capa-
bility to find the service or
prescription you may seek.
A simple Google search will
help you find any number of
websites that not only list and
explain different types of birth
control, but also allow for the
product to be purchased with
a valid prescription.
The president and his fol-
lowers hope America will not
notice the eventual price that
will be paid by all for having
an insidious government that
dictates the behaviors of the
governed. The presidents
transformative agenda is re-
casting the United States in
the image of a Western Eu-
ropean socialist democracy,
packed with cradle-to-grave
entitlements and nanny state
monitors all in the name of
caring for the citizenry.
In place of cherished ideals
such as freedom of religion,
new rights and privileges like
reproductive freedom will be
championed.
For the good of the country,
Americans must not be fooled
by the presentation of pseudo-
rights in lieu of real ones
granted by the Constitution.

Corbett cuts will
hurt Pennsylvania
G
ov. Tom Corbetts pro-
posed budget would fur-
ther weaken Pennsylva-
nias Department of Envi-
ronmental Protection and
drain funds from valuable
environmental programs.
The governors fiscal year
2012-13 budget would cut an
additional $10.5 million from
the DEP general fund appro-
priation, reducing it to $124
million. The DEP state appro-
priation was cut $10 million
last year and its state appro-
priation has been reduced by
$65 million since 2006. The
department cannot perform
its mission reasonably with a
budget below $170 million,
according to former DEP
Secretary John Hanger.
There has been about a 10
percent cut in DEP personnel
since 2006. Non-union staff
has not received a salary in-
crease in four years. Non-
competitive salaries combined
with increasing workloads due
to these staffing cuts have
made it difficult for the DEP
to attract and retain quality
people. We are hemorrhaging
jobs to the oil and gas indus-
try, one former DEP senior
staffer told me.
Corbetts budget also would
take money from at least three
popular and successful envi-
ronmental programs: the
Keystone Recreation, Park and
Conservation fund; the Farm-
land Preservation program
and the Alternative Fuels
Incentive Grant program.
Money from these programs
would be transferred to the
general fund to balance his
budget.
The governor would take
$38.5 million from the Keys-
tone fund in the Department
of Conservation and Natural
Resources budget. This pro-
gram supports community
parks and recreation, land
trust projects and state park
and forest rehabilitation. The
DCNR has estimated about a
billion-dollar backlog in state
park and forest infrastructure
projects.
Pennsylvanias Farmland
Preservation program receives
about $20 million annually
from cigarette tax receipts.
The governor has proposed
permanently eliminating this
funding. The Farmland Preser-
vation program not only pro-
tects Pennsylvanias agricul-
ture industry, but also pre-
serves scenic landscapes.
About 2,000 farms are on the
waiting list for this program.
The alternative-fuels grants
encourage the use of vehicles
fueled by electricity, biodiesel,
natural gas and hydrogen. The
program receives .25 mills
from the gross receipts tax, or
about $5 million or $6 million
annually in state funding. The
governor has proposed elim-
inating this program.
Gov. Corbett has proposed
cuts to the DEP and these
environmental programs while
refusing to consider logical
funding sources for them. Two
sources would be a reasonable
severance tax on Marcellus
Shale drilling and the increase
in air emission permitting fees
proposed by the previous
administration.

V I E W S
ON A flawless
spring-like
morning,
President
Obama stood
in the Rose
Garden to
urge against a
hasty retreat from Afghanistan.
We have a strategy that will
allow us to responsibly wind
down this war, he said Tuesday,
resisting the calls for a quick
exit that were prompted by the
slaying of Afghan civilians pur-
portedly by a rogue American
soldier. Already were scheduled
to remove 23,000 troops by the
end of this summer, following
the 10,000 that we withdrew last
year.
A few minutes after Obama
spoke those words, I crossed the
Potomac to visit with some of
those who already have come
home, under circumstances
nobody wanted. After a decade
of wars, more than 800 of them
now rest in Arlington National
Cemetery.
Most of them are in Section
60, where I counted 21 rows of
headstones of the Iraq and Af-
ghanistan war dead, beginning
with Staff Sgt. Brian Craig,
killed in Kandahar in April 2002.
On Tuesday afternoon, Section
60 got its newest resident, 23-
year-old Sgt. William Stacey,
killed on foot patrol during his
fourth deployment to Afghan-
istan.
They buried him near a
young magnolia tree that will
shade his headstone in future
years with the too-familiar
rituals: white horses, wooden
caisson, marching platoon, rifle
volleys, taps. There were the
tearful parents, the grief-stricken
fiance, the teenage sister hold-
ing flowers and the cremated
remains of a young man who left
behind an open-in-case-of-death
letter released by the family.
My death did not change the
world; it may be tough for you
to justify its meaning at all, he
wrote. But there is a greater
meaning to it.
Washington is debating that
greater meaning, and whether
all the trouble the civilian
killings, the Quran burnings, the
feckless Karzai government
justifies continued fighting in
Afghanistan even though al-
Qaeda has been routed and
public opinion has soured.
Theres no good answer, but no
policymaker should make a
decision about the war without
taking a stroll through Section
60. Its rows tell the story of this
generations wars: A few head-
stones from Afghanistan quickly
yield to monuments mostly
from Iraq; then, toward the end,
the Afghanistan dead return.
Among stones topped by
crosses, Stars of David and the
occasional crescent, a makeshift
shrine has been built by friends
and family of the fallen. A heli-
um balloon with the number
30 floated above the tomb-
stone of Thomas J. Brown,
whose 30th birthday would have
been Tuesday; he died in 2008 in
Iraq.
Arlington authorities, perhaps
recognizing the special signif-
icance of Section 60s young
dead, have compassionately
exempted it from the policy
against decorations. On Tues-
day, there were purple Mardi
Gras beads, crosses made from
toothpicks, laminated photos,
heart stickers, colored stones,
pinwheels, plush toys, a can of
chewing tobacco, a marathon
medal, a plastic leprechaun hat,
even a cat-shaped yard orna-
ment.
A prayer to Joan of Arc deco-
rated the grave of a young wom-
an killed in Iraq. On the stone of
Sgt. Karl Campbell were a
school photo of his son, missing
a front tooth, and a letter in a
plastic bag, to my best friend
always.
Among the most heartbreak-
ing is the stone of Spc. Douglas
Jay Green, killed in Afghanistan
in August at age 23. A Valen-
tines Day card had a quotation
from Herman Hesse, If I know
what love is, it is because of
you, and a handwritten mess-
age: Doug, This year you would
have been home for Valentines
Day. ... But I have to remind
myself that could haves and
would haves were never sup-
posed to be.
Nearby, an older couple sat on
fresh sod, grieving over a soldier
buried too recently to have a
headstone. They stepped aside
as the caisson approached with
Sgt. Staceys remains. The
young man, son of college pro-
fessors, was to have returned to
Camp Pendleton by now, his
overseas deployments done. He
was planning to attend a Marine
Corps ball in April with his
fiance.
Instead, she joined Staceys
sister and parents in accepting
folded flags from a sergeant
major on bended knee. Among
those paying their respects were
several young Marines, one in a
wheelchair.
In the letter he wrote before
he died, Stacey imagined an
Afghan child made better by his
service: If my life buys the
safety of a child who will one
day change this world, then I
know that it was all worth it.
The nation must soon decide
whether Staceys hope remains
true.
Too many vets are
home in Section 60

ANOTHER VIEW
A photograph by Pete G. Wilcox
and words by Mark E. Jones
AT A time
when everyone
was moving
out of Detroit,
they moved in.
In a world
where every-
one wants
bigger and better, they went
smaller and worse.
In a country where people
often pay lip service to making
a difference in their communi-
ty, they actually are building a
community one reclaimed
house at a time.
Larry and Marilyn Johnson
were a fairly typical white,
suburban couple back in the
1990s, when they sold their
computer business. They found
themselves with money and
time. Maybe too much time.
I remember coming in from
a golf game and Larry asking
me how my game was, and I
just started crying, Marilyn
remembers. I said, My life has
no purpose.
So they started volunteering.
They helped at shelters. They
worked with treatment pro-
grams. Right away, they no-
ticed the same faces coming
back every few months get
sober, go out, use again, come
back. It was like a reunion,
Marilyn says.
The only way to stop the
revolving door, they decided,
was to take it off its hinges.
Replace it with four walls of
community.
And so they did.
The program they started is
called LifeBUILDERS. It began
with one modest house on
Detroits east side. Women
looking to break free from
substance abuse could stay
there.
The Johnsons kept it small,
made sure everyone nurtured
one another and put them-
selves smack in the middle of
it.
The result was a near-zero
recidivism rate. One house led
to another and another, until
they basically operated an
entire block of homes and
apartments, filled with people
who were looking for a better
life.
The houses surrounded a
headquarters on Kelly near 8
Mile Road where activities,
meetings and kids programs
were held. In every way, the
Johnsons were building a
neighborhood mostly from
reclaiming rotted buildings
that had been used for the drug
trade.
And then, this year, Larry
and Marilyn took their biggest
leap. They left their well-to-do
Grosse Pointe home and
moved into a 2,000-square-foot
place, right alongside the peo-
ple they are helping.
It was it is a remarkable
sacrifice. Many people talk
about making the city better.
The Johnsons are doing it with
a ZIP code change. As for giv-
ing up the big house, the fancy
kitchen and the closet stuffed
with clothes?
Cathartic, is how Marilyn
describes it.
LifeBUILDERS is a faith-
based group. That needs to be
said. Many of the activities and
philosophies revolve around a
Christian point of view.
But the idea of a nurturing
community does not belong to
any one religion. And the idea
of taking over abandoned
buildings and turning them
into thriving homes should not
be pigeonholed by a category.
The fact is, a small decaying
section of Detroit is now blos-
soming because of one couples
giant efforts.
Here is where the rest of us
can help.
LifeBUILDERS is involved in
a national contest through
Home Depot to win a $250,000
grant. Whoever gets the most
online votes wins. If you be-
lieve in the concept, and think
Detroit is a deserving place for
such a reward, you can go to
www.lifebuildersdetroit.com to
vote. The finalists which span
the country include three
other worthy Detroit area orga-
nizations: Jewish Family Ser-
vices, Ronald McDonald House
of Detroit and Taylor VFW Post
4422. A vote for any of them is
a good thing.
Meanwhile, how inspiring is
it to see a couple go from a golf
course to a needy city block
and talk as if they are the lucky
ones?
One of our neighbors, six
months ago, said he and his
wife were going to sell their
house, because, he said, Hope
was gone, Larry recalls. He
decided to stay.
In a city where too many are
going the opposite direction,
that is geographic good news.
It takes a lot to work your
whole life to a wealthy level,
then turn around and spend
your retirement with those less
fortunate.
Then again, maybe spreading
hope is as rich as you can get.

IS THERE a War on
Women? You betcha
there is.
So, Ms. Fluke and
the rest of you femina-
zis, heres the deal,
said GOP kingmaker
Rush Limbaugh. If we
are going to pay for your contraceptives,
and thus pay for you to have sex, we
want something for it, and Ill tell you
what it is. We want you to post the vid-
eos online so we can all watch.
I couldnt believe my ears when Lim-
baugh said that about Sandra Fluke, also
referring to her as a slut and as a pros-
titute, over three days of mind-boggling
blabber about contraception to his cree-
py flock of angry white guys.
Well, he got this white guy pretty
angry.
I have two daughters in their 30s, both
of whom, like Fluke, have lived in Wash-
ington, D.C., and are of similar liberal
sensibility. And I had a strong, elegant
mother who would have slapped my face
if I talked like that about a woman.
Frustrated men who degrade women
in a mean-spirited, sexual way, which is
ubiquitous today, arent men at all. They
certainly are not the men that I knew
growing up.
And dont give me that right-wing
talking point about how Bill Maher
called vice presidential candidate Sarah
Palin a nasty name. You betcha Maher
was wrong to use such a term. Palin,
however, who is, remarkably, a Lim-
baugh defender, is living proof that a
self-serving woman can be just as appall-
ing as a misogynist man.
Come on, boys. Tone it down. Talk
politics, sports, business, tell me the
story of the entire 18 holes, whats wrong
with your boat, why Manning would fit
best in Denver, but dont talk sexual
trash about women. When you do, you
are saying that you have never loved a
woman, known a real man or had a
mother, daughter or a sister.
Sadly, a pervert like Limbaugh is the
commander in chief of the war on wom-
en. His show, from noon to three each
weekday, is aimed at men in the work-
place or on the road; and his 20 million
listeners form the backbone of the right
wing in America.
Last year, for example, in a country
brimming with newly elected Tea Par-
tiers, about 430 bills surfaced in legisla-
tures throughout the country concerning
womens reproductive rights.
Are we in danger of returning to the
days when a woman must get permis-
sion from a husband to have her tubes
tied? Well, maybe not, but these Repub-
lican proposals on womens reproductive
issues effectively give that decision to
your employer.
Congress even refuses to renew a
domestic violence bill because it con-
tains protections for lesbians and illegal
immigrants.
In Texas, nearly 200,000 women will
be without essential health care because
the cattle in that legislature have a beef
with Planned Parenthood.
Despite President Obamas passage of
the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, women
still make about 25 percent less than
men doing the same work.
The United States ranks 71st among
nations in the percentage of women
elected to public office.
So, it might have been fortunate that
Limbaugh exposed himself earlier this
month. Maybe it will wake us up in an
important election year.
There was a strange silence from
Republicans over Limbaughs remarks,
except for one, significant voice. Peggy
Noonan, Ronald Reagans speech writer,
said that Limbaughs bombast is further
evidence that there is a horrible, misog-
ynistic war on women in America to-
day.
Ill leave the last word on this for my
fellow Lake Winola fan, Hillary Clinton.
Why extremists always focus on
women remains a mystery to me, said
Clinton last week. But they all seem to.
It doesnt matter what country theyre in
or what religion they claim. They want
to control women. They want to control
how we dress, they want to control how
we act, they even want to control the
decisions we make about our own health
and bodies.
The United States needs to set an
example for the entire world, she said,
and reject efforts to marginalize any one
of us.
Right-wing war on women turns into election year wake-up call

Gorski family
thanks supporters
O
ur family thanks everyone
who was involved with the
benefit for Ken Gorski.
Words cannot express our
gratitude for the immense
outpouring of love and con-
cern from our family, friends,
and our church and school
families during this difficult
time. God has blessed us with
wonderful friends for whom
we are truly grateful.
Ken had a great time, and it
meant the world to him to see
all of his family and friends
come together to support him
in his time of need.
While it is true that cancer
changes your life forever, our
lives will forever be impacted
by the love and support shown
to our family.
Thank you to everyone who
donated countless hours to
plan and work at this wonder-
ful event. It was truly memora-
ble.

Writer offers tips
on canine care
I
have had a tremendous
amount of experience work-
ing with and training dogs
as well as providing compan-
ionship for owners dogs when
they are away.
The warm weather has
arrived, and I felt it was in-
cumbent upon me to write a
letter to the editor for the sake
of the dogs in our community.
I often see people who are
running or riding bicycles
come dangerously close to the
dogs that are being walked by
their sitters or owners. Many
dogs view the fast movement
of peoples legs and bicycle
wheels as prey. For this rea-
son, their first inclination is to
lunge toward the items or
people. So, please exercise
some common sense and keep
a good distance away from
dogs.
The other issue I would like
to address is the many people
I see running with their dogs.
Despite what anyone suggests,
running a dog for miles is not
good for the dog.
Have you ever seen a few
loose dogs go for a 5 mile run?
They dont behave in this
manner.
I know that there are sled
dogs that are run, but that
does not mean it is healthy for
them. What is their prognosis
in the long-run? Furthermore,
many breeds, such as boxers,
are predisposed to orthopedic
issues and will end up needing
painful and costly surgeries if
they are run constantly.
Walking and playing are the
best exercises for dogs. If they
run, they can run in a fenced-
in area for the amount of time
they feel comfortable.
The last issue Id like to
address is the heat. We are
supposed to have one of the
hottest summers on record
this year. Please dont keep
dogs outside when the heat
index is dangerous. If it is
dangerous for you, it is dan-
gerous for them.
Always keep fresh water
available for them and plenty
of shade if you have to have
them outside.
Better yet, bring them in-
side the basement if you dont
have air conditioning so they
can remain cool and comfort-
able. Or, have them inside the
house with you, because they
are members of your family
that happen to wear fur.
And after all the joy and
love that they give to us, the
least we can do for them is to
provide for their care and
safety.

Lets say youre familiar with
the piano and consider it a prince
among instruments.
Local members of the Ameri-
can Guild of Organists would like
you to meet the king.
Were really interested in in-
troducing the organ to piano stu-
dents, said Mike Sowa, who has
helped plan a Pedals, Pipes and
Pizza event for 2to4p.m. March
25. We also want to showthe or-
gan to people who dont play the
piano but are fascinated and
would like to know more.
Many musicians start with the
piano, thenmove onto the organ,
whichhas the capability to sound
like an entire orchestra, thanks to
its four different families of pipes.
There are the principals,
which are the pipes that sound
like an organ, pure organ. Noth-
ingelse sounds like that. The oth-
ers are flutes, strings and reeds.
Its fascinating to pull out the
stops, said Sowa, who is orga-
nist at Our Lady of the Eucharist
Parish in Pittston.
You can register for the lesson
online at agopane.org or by call-
ing 301-9253.
The event will include per-
formances by Canon Mark Lau-
bach from St. Stephens Episco-
pal Church in Wilkes-Barre and
Sowa as well as narration by Ra-
phael Micca, organist from Holy
Spirit Church in Mocanaqua.
Mark Ignatovich, organist and
music director at St. Marys
Church of the Immaculate Con-
ception, is the host.
Among the pieces to be played
will be Rex: The King of Instru-
ments by Daniel Burton and the
Toccato from Symphony No 5 by
Charles-Marie Widor.
Piano students will have a
chance March 25 to try out the
consoleat St. Marys, wheretheor-
ganhasmorethan1,900pipes. The
instrument originally was built in
1901, Sowa said, explaining that
was a time when organs were giv-
en an especially warm sound.
The event is free and, as you
might have guessed from its
name, refreshments will be
served.

IF YOU GO
NEW YORK Broadways fall season
will be remembered for its extraordinary
number of good new plays and its weak
newmusicals. This spring, we againhave a
remarkable assortment of new plays, but
more new musicals than we expected.
Why? Producers hustled after noticing the
season was so lame
that Spider-Man,
Turn Off the Dark
could actually win
the Tony for best
musical.
Well have 18
openings in the six
crazy weeks be-
tween Thursdays
revival of Death of
a Salesman and
the April 26 cutoff
for Tony eligibility.
The annual crush includes many solid of-
ferings, thoughfewas cutting-edgeas inre-
cent seasons.
Questions may be answered. Is Philip
Seymour Hoffman too young to play the
profoundly weary Willy Loman in Sales-
man? Is Blair Underwoodtoooldtobethe
ravenous young Stanley Kowalski in A
Streetcar NamedDesire? Are two revivals
by the young Andrew Lloyd Webber and
Tim Rice (Jesus Christ Superstar, Evi-
ta) toomany? What about twonewshows
with music by Alan Menken (Newsies,
Leap of Faith)? And, while were asking
impertinent questions, howmany musical
adaptations of movies are way too many?
Here is the rest of Broadway, 2011-12, in
chronological order:
DEATH OF A SALESMAN, opens

March15, Barrymore Theatre, 243W. 47th
St. Mike Nichols stagingof Arthur Millers
crushing 1949 masterwork promises to be
one of the big-ticket events of the season.
In addition to Hoffman as Willy, the ever-
wonderful Linda Emond plays his wife,
Linda, and Andrew Garfield (best known
right now as Hollywoods newest Spider-
Man) is son Biff. Whats more, Nichols is
resurrectingJoMielziners celebratedorig-
inal set designs.
ONCE, opens March18, Jacobs Theatre,
242 W. 45th St. This enchanting, intimate
musical was won-
derful downtown at
theNewYorkTheat-
re Workshop, and
fingers are crossed
that the peculiar,
original charm is
not lost in the
Broadway transfer.
Based on the 2006
indie filmabout a ro-
mance between a
Dublin guitarist and
a pianist from Cze-
choslovakia, thesongs includingtheOs-
car-winning Falling Slowly are by
Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, the

HOROSCOPE
HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
You have a big heart.
Giving to someone in
need is so easy for you
that youd hardly call it
charitable. True charity is
giving when your need is
just as grave as the other
persons.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Forgiveness is the magic
element that renews your
spirit. As soon as youre
able to forgive, youll
unclench your jaw, and the
laughter and lightness will
come back into your life.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Youll be open to hearing
different points of view
and slow to forming your
own. Dont worry about
being absolutely right
about anything. Time has
a way of changing and
even reversing opinions.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
What you think is a weak-
ness is really just a skill
that doesnt come natu-
rally to you. That doesnt
mean you cant learn it,
though. To attain the skill,
choose a role model you
can follow.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Youll
do what you can to help
a loved one, including
backing off and giving this
person plenty of room to
solve the problem inde-
pendent of you. Thats a
wise move, indeed.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Your finances are getting
better, largely due to your
increased optimism and
the way you let it move
you into action. Consider
giving some of your busy-
work to someone with too
much time on her hands.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Not
everyone can get a hold
on emotions the way you
can. Youll set an example
for others and turn a dif-
ficult situation around.
Forcing yourself to smile
is one way to counteract
negativity and stress.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
There are many who need
and want something from
you now. Is it the same
something you want to
give? Maybe. Either way,
you certainly wont starve
for attention. As the day
progresses, you may crave
moments to yourself.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Your influence is indi-
rect, and yet it is power-
ful. If you could share one
piece of advice that you
knew others would heed,
what would it be? Living
that piece of advice today
is the luckiest thing you
can do.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). There are many fac-
tors that govern your
path, and not all of them
are in your control. Its
hard to tell the difference
between the changeable
and unchangeable factors
now, but try.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
There will be a handful
of tasks on your mental
agenda that you just dont
feel like doing. But if you
can accomplish just one of
them, youll be in a far bet-
ter place. Getting started
will be the hardest part.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
You wonder why you do
things you dont like. Life
is not so simple for you
now, and thats part of the
issue. Reflect, sort, and
pare down your posses-
sions and other baggage
that may be clouding your
view of life.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (March
18). Youll bring harmony
to formerly discordant
scenes this year and may
be employed as a peace-
maker, liaison, diplomat or
contract negotiator. Invest
in April; your instincts are
hot. May brings a long-
term contract. Family
makes you proud in June.
New friends or romance
will be attracted to your
grace and style. Taurus
and Gemini people adore
you. Your lucky numbers
are: 9, 14, 39, 24 and 1.

DEAR ABBY
Psychic looks for best
ways to use special gifts
Dear Abby: I
will graduate
from college
in June and
be a social
worker. I
am psychic,
although I dislike that word
because it conjures up vi-
sions of crystal balls, quacks
and scams. For legitimate
psychic individuals, it can
be overwhelming to live this
way.
I first noticed my ability
when I was young, but I re-
pressed it because my folks
thought I was imagining
things. It began to resurge
in college. This school is
haunted, so I have become
used to daily interactions
with ghosts often in the
dead of night. I also notice
that during client counsel-
ing sessions images will pop
into my head. I once gave
a classmate the willies
by perfectly describing the
garden in her backyard hav-
ing never laid eyes on it. My
adviser says I must never
tell my clients the things I
see in them because it will
frighten them.
Its hard to separate my
own thoughts and emotions
from those of spirits around
me. Im concerned about my
psychic ability in relation to
my clients. If I pick up on
abuse in the mind of a child,
for example, am I obligated
to report it?
Being psychic is as natural
to me as my having blue
eyes. It will never go away.
I must now find the means
to manage it. I dont want
a career as a medium. Im
dedicated to the profession
I have chosen. Can you offer
me advice?
Gifted in New York
Dear Gifted: Instead of
using your visions to form
JUDGMENTS about your
clients, use them to guide
you during interviews. If you
do, you will then be better
equipped to provide concrete
proof of the need for an
intervention than revealing
you saw something that
others cant see or wasnt
disclosed to you.
Many people have psychic
abilities to a greater or lesser
degree than you do, and
those vibes can be invalu-
able. It is possible that your
gift will give you insight
into the individuals you will
serve. I wish you success.
Dear Abby: My wife has
turned into a bona fide slug!
We have been married 30
years. For half of them she
stayed fit and trim, but over
the past 15 she has put on
100 pounds and refuses to
try to lose any of it. She also
refuses to cook. I have to
cook my own meals or we
eat out. She no longer cleans
or has sex with me.
She is obviously depressed
and has taken several medi-
cations over the years to no
avail. She has had lab work
done, but nothing shows up.
Because she doesnt have a
job, she sits around in her
pajamas all day playing on
the computer or reading ro-
mance novels. Shell do laun-
dry, but only after theres
nothing left to wear.
The other thing my wife
likes to do is travel. The
more expensive the trip, the
more she loves it. Does God
really expect me to live like
this until I die? I have tried
everything I can think of to
help her. I dread going home
every night. Advice, please?
Living in Hell in West
Virginia
Dear Living In Hell: The
marriage you have described
isnt living, it is existing.
Insist, as a condition of stay-
ing in the marriage, that
your wife have a thorough
physical and psychological
evaluation. She appears to be
depressed, withdrawn and
possibly not in touch with
reality. Her physical health is
also at risk.
Not every medication
works on everyone. Your
wifes weight gain may have
made the dose she was tak-
ing ineffective or she may
need a combination of drugs
and talk therapy. Clearly she
isnt happy in your marriage
anymore either, if shes es-
caping into romance novels
instead of having a relation-
ship with you. Please get her
the help she appears to so
desperately need.

ber and Rice arrives fromLos An-

geles and Canadas Stratford Fes-
tival in an acclaimed revival by
Des McAnuff (Jersey Boys).
NEWSIES, opens March29, Ne-
derlander Theatre, 208 W. 41st St.
As a1992 Disney movie, this story
about the newsboy strike of 1899
was hardly a blockbuster. As a mu-
sical, the showbook by Harvey
Fierstein, music by Alan Menken
was a smashat Paper Mill Play-
house in Milburn, N.J., in the fall.
Jeremy Jordan, no longer starring
in the short-lived Bonnie &
Clyde, returns as the head news-
boy.
GORE VIDALS THE BEST
MAN, opens April 1, Schoenfeld
Theatre, 236W. 45thSt. Thecoun-
try may not have picked its best
man yet, but this revival of Vidals
1960dramaabout machinationsof
a presidential race may well have
the seasons best cast. Start count-
ing: James Earl Jones, Angela
Lansbury, Candice Bergen, John
Larroquette, Eric McCormack,
Kerry Butler, Jefferson Mays and
Michael McKean.
END OF THE RAINBOW,
opensApril 2, BelascoTheatre,111
W. 44th St. Judy Garland is mak-
ing another comeback in Peter
Quilters play with music about
the dramas in her London hotel
room before a series of concerts.
The show, which began in Austra-
lia and transferred to Londons
West End, introduces the highly
regarded Tracie Bennett as Gar-
land.
EVITA, opens April 5, Marquis
Theatre, 1536 Broadway. Broad-
ways first revival of the1978 Web-
ber-Rice musi-
cal about the
controversial
Eva Peron. Ele-
na Roger, a Lon-
don smash in
this Michael
Grandage pro-
duction, plays
the first lady
and superstar of Argentina.
Ricky Martin plays Che
though, apparently for politically
sensitive reasons is claiming
the character isnt Che Guevara.
You know, hes just another guy
named Che. The self-challenging
Michael Cerveris (Broadways
most recent Sweeney Todd) is Mr.
Evita, that is, Juan Peron.
MAGIC/ BIRD, opens April 11,
Longacre Theatre, 220 W. 48thSt.
Last season, the NFLco-produced
a biographical play about football
coach Vince Lombardi by Eric Si-
monson. This year, Simonson
chronicles the friendship and his-
toric basketball competition of
LarryBirdandMagic Johnsonina
biographical play co-produced by
the NBA. Broadway always has
been a spectator sport, but this
trend is another game altogether.
PETER AND THE STAR-
CATCHER, opens April 16, Atkin-
son Theatre, 256 W. 47th St. If
Broadwayloves Wicked, thepre-
quel to The Wizard of Oz, per-
haps everyone will also love this
musical about the early life of Pe-
ter Pan. A play with music, the
show comes to Broadway after a
successful run at the New York
Theatre Workshop. (See Once,
see Rent.) Based on the Disney
novel (seeNewsies), theproduc-
tion has 12 actors playing more
than50characters. Inthis creative
staging, the actors also play the
scenery.
ONE MAN, TWO GUVNORS,
opens April 18, Music Box Theat-
re, 239 W. 45th St. Another play
with music, also
a hit from Lon-
don, this one is a
Richard Bean
comedy that
mixes comme-
dia dellarte and
English music
hall in a confec-
tionabout a desperate guy (James
Corden) with two gangster boss-
es. Nicholas Hytner, the brains
andtastebehindtheNational The-
atre, directs.
CLYBOURNE PARK, opens
April19, Kerr Theatre, 219W. 48th
St. Bruce Norris tragicomedy
about race andreal estate wonlast
years Pulitzer
Prize and Lon-
dons Olivier.
The play, which

in the present
day, comes to
Broadway after a

and a recent run in Los Angeles.
The cast, including Annie Parisse

same.

cause he does everything for
her, said Christian Marriner, 26,
who portrays the enterprising
Seabee. He does her laundry. He
helps her coordinate the Follies
production in the second act. He
steals a Jeep for her so she can go
and be with the Frenchman.
For Billis, love is about sacri-
fice. But, Marriner said, Every
moment he spends with her is
the highlight of his life.
Still, you neednt worry that
Luther Billis is a sad sack, pining
away for his beloved.
Hes easily the most energetic
character in the show and, along
with islander Bloody Mary, sup-
plies comic relief in a story set
amid the dangers of wartime and
spiked with thought-provoking
situations about interracial ta-
boos.
Luther Billis and Bloody Ma-
ry are the motors of the show,
Marriner said. They keep the
show moving with their comedy.
Its a terribly dark time, but
theres these two people who can
find a thrill in living every day.
Marriner grew up in Laguna,
Calif., watching the movie ver-
sion of South Pacific on VHS
tapes about twice a year. Even
back then, he saw himself in the
role of Billis.
In common with the character,
he said, he has a sense of humor
as well as a knack for wheeling
and dealing. Like Luther, Im al-
ways trying to find the cheapest
thing, he said. I used to put res-
taurant advertisements on my
car to get free food.
PACIFIC
Continued from Page 1F
Luther Billis and the rest of the Seabees provide lots of energy and comic relief as they sing There
is Nothing Like a Dame and Bloody Mary Is the Girl I Love in the musical South Pacific. Here, they
hoist Bloody Mary on their shoulders.

Back in 1989, controversy erupt-
ed over a photograph by Andres
Serrano depicting a crucifix in uri-
ne. To conservatives, this was a
blasphemous outrage. To liberals,
the issue was censorship.
But what if the likeness im-
mersed in urine had been of the
Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.? Or
Nelson Mandela? How might the
reaction be different? And which
side would you be on?
Thats just the sort of useful mor-
al exercise Jonathan Haidt presents
in The Righteous Mind, his wide-
ranging new book on the evolution-
ary basis of human morals and the
difficulties people have in compre-
hending opposing political views.
A psychologist at the University of
Virginia in the progressive enclave
of Charlottesville, Haidt was trou-
bled that his
profession rou-
tinely patholo-
gizes conserva-
tism, so he set
out to try to un-
derstand conser-
vatives instead
of demonizing
them. For a
dyed-in-the-wool
liberal academ-
ic, hes succeed-
ed pretty well.
Haidts premise, as he puts it, is
that we are all self-righteous hypo-
crites, mainly because we evolved
that way. Building on his excellent
previous book, The Happiness Hy-
pothesis, Haidt envisions the hu-
man mind as an elephant bearing a
rider. The latter may believe hes
steering, but the giant beast below
is actually in charge. The rider is
our rational self, and exists only to
serve the elephant, who represents
the great mass of mental processes
that occur outside consciousness.
Haidt now extends this metaphor
into the realm of moral judgments,
making a powerful case that these
are hardly reasoned: Moral intui-
tions arise automatically and al-
most instantaneously, long before
moral reasoning has a chance to
get started, and those first intui-
tions tend to drive our later reason-
ing.
The author presents a trove of
evidence on the sharply differing
values of liberals and conserva-
tives, identifying six main moral
realms. Liberals focus on two of
them: Caring (concern for others,
preventing harm) and Fairness.
These things matter for conserva-
tives, too, but they have a broader
set of concerns, including Loyalty,
Authority, Liberty and Sanctity.
The latter is especially interesting,
because it helps explain why so
many people are bothered by phys-
ical acts that appear to harm no
one else.
Unfortunately, Haidt doesnt
have much to say about why weve
become so much more righteous in
recent years. He extols the social
benefits of religion, yet pays almost
no attention to its costs. He rightly
praises the miraculous powers of
free markets to create spontane-
ous, beneficial order but chooses
the worst possible example
health care to prove his point.
Ultimately, one wishes hed spent
more time on our political nature
and less making the case for evolu-
tion as the basis for moral judg-
ments, a subject covered more pro-
foundly by Robert Wright in The
Moral Animal.
Still, theres much to be learned
here. Haidt observes shrewdly that
conservative candidates tend to
speak to the elephant. This isnt
just pandering; conservatives are
concerned more with love of coun-
try and belonging, with respect and
freedom and the sanctity of life. No
wonder the GOPs symbol is a
pachyderm; how better to make a
jackass of the Democrats than by
addressing the elephant in the elec-
torate?

L
auren Groffs first book was a wonder and a delight. The Monsters
of Templeton, it was called, and it was funny, magnetic and clear-
eyed in its wise portrayal of a young woman trying (and failing) to
outrun her mistakes. What a happy relief to discover Groffs second
novel is even better. Not every young writer lives up to the promise of a first
book, but Groff has exceeded expectations.
Ariveting chronicle of the rise and fall of an
upstate New York commune as seen through
the eyes of Ridley Bit Sorrel Stone you
could guess his parents were hippies even
without the telltale use of the word com-
mune Arcadia is a vivid portrait of an
idealistic community undone by the things
that undous all: selfishness, hunger for power,
lust for an ill-defined freedom and the very
times in which we live. Groff also examines
the way in which our childhoods shape us
and the way that self-image can be hard to
shake even when were adults who should
know better.
Bits self-image, you see, is grounded in be-
ing the miracle baby, born in a Volkswagen
Camper outside Ridley, Wyo., when his par-
ents, Abe and Hannah, were groupies trailing
a charismatic folk singer named Handy across
the country. Born too small but a survivor al-
ready, hes the littlest bit of a hippie ever
made, in the words of a grocer whose scale is
used to weigh him (three pounds exactly.
The size of an itty-bitty butternut squash).
Three years later the traveling band, its
numbers swelling, lands in upstate New York
on 600 acres signed over to Handy by an acco-
lyte. Arcadia, Handy calls it. There, the com-
munity will create its utopia, raise its foodand
children and rebuild Arcadia House, a decay-
ing mansion on the hill. They will hire out as
workers or midwives or pot dealers as neces-
sary and embrace all who want to join their
group (youre in as long as you can stomach a
lot of soy cheese). They will be governed by
fewrules, the most important of which is that
everyone must work.
Outwardly, Arcadia is the picture of a fair-
minded if hardscrabble community, but (t)
here is, Bit knows, what happens on the sur-
face, and there is what pulls beneath, Groff
writes, as, little by little, cracks emerge in this
utopia. Hannahs battles with depression
leave Bit terrified and exhausted. His father
suffers an accident. Too many new people ar-
rive who dont adhere to Arcadias standards
they just like the drugs and free love and
even Handys once-benign influence takes on
an unwelcome edge.
The novel follows Bits life from childhood
he thinks of it as idyllic despite occasional
tragedy through the communitys downfall
during his adolescence, when he falls for
Handys troubled daughter, Helle. Lies, se-
crets and too many outsiders overwhelm Ar-
cadia, and its end is ugly, full of bitterness and
recrimination.
Our memories can betray us, but Groff re-
minds us: Bit is a survivor. And in the end, our
dreams dont always let us down.

YRTLEBEACH, S.C. Free falling froma
60-foot tower, slippingdownanoceanfront
zip line or fighting through a curve in a car
once drivenby a NASCARgreat are among
the new attractions that will greet visitors to Myrtle
Beach during a newbeach season. There also are im-
provements toone of the areas most popular piers and,
for a change of pace, a yearlong celebration marking
the local art museums 15th anniversary.
Myrtle Beach is on South Car-
olinas GrandStrand, a60-milere-
ach of beaches along the states
northeastern coast that attracts
about 14 million visitors a year
and is the heart of South Caroli-
nas $14 billion tourism industry,
one of the largest industries in
the state.
While the beach is the big at-
traction, many folks also find
time to swing golf clubs at one of
the areas 102 courses. For those
who like windmills in their fair-
ways, there alsoare about 30min-
iature golf courses.
This year, one of the most vis-
ible changes is the zip line and
free-fall tower being built in the
center of downtown on a vacant
tract where the Myrtle Beach Pa-
vilion amusement park stood for
decades.
ThenewMyrtleBeachAdrena-
line Adventures attraction, open-
ing in April, will allowdaredevils
to leave a platform 40 feet above
the ground and, as they look out
over the gray-green Atlantic, zip
600 feet to another platform 20
feet lower.
Zip lines are becoming very
popular. People just enjoy the
fly, said Shane Bull, an owner of
Adrenaline Adventure Courses,
which operates another zip line
near Mammoth Cave, Ky.
The Myrtle Beach attraction
has another free-fall jump in
which patrons jump off a 60-foot
platform and free fall until they
are slowed in their harness near
the ground.
Bulls company plans a second
zip line this one a course
where customers can zip be-
tween four towers on the
south end of Myrtle Beach. He
said it should be open by Memo-
rial Day.
The NASCAR Racing Experi-
ence comes this year to the Myr-
tle Beach Speedway just across
the Intracoastal Waterway from
downtown. Also opening next
month, it will make it easier to
get behind the wheel of a car that
was once driven by a NASCAR
driver like Jimmie Johnson or
Jeff Gordon.
The company, based in Char-
lotte, N.C., offers its classroom
training and track-driving experi-
ence at 10 NASCAR tracks
around the country. But because
it now owns the Myrtle Beach
track where NASCAR drivers
drovedecades ago, it will bemore
accessible to would-be stock car
drivers.
If you come off the beach and
you want to drive a race car, you
can come up here, said Bob
Lutz, the president and CEO of
thecompany. Wewouldlikepeo-
ple to make reservations, but we
will accept walk-ups. In other lo-
cations like Charlotte, we fill up
the experiences two or three
months in advance. Here we will
have a lot more flexibility.
Last year, about 70,000 people
participated in the NASCARRac-
ing Experience at the other
tracks. This year, inMyrtle Beach
alone, Lutz expects 40,000. His
company is planning several mil-
lion dollars in upgrades to the
track during the next three years
and plans races and other events
beyond the driving experience.
About 75 percent of those who
sign up for the experience are
men. But the Myrtle Beach
Speedway is in an ideal location
with the Tanger Outlets complex
just across the street, Lutz said.
Couples and families can split up
and take their pick, with shop-
pers heading to the nearly 100
stores and thrill-seekers taking
on the challenges of the speed-
ways half-mile oval.
For those wanting a more se-
date beach experience, the Fran-
klin Burroughs-Simeon Chapin
Art Museum is celebrating its
15th anniversary with a year of
events, including plans for an art-
themed miniature golf course,
collectors events and runway
fashion competitions.
The museum is on the south
end of Myrtle Beach in a beach
house once owned by Elliot
Springs of Springs Industries.
Built in 1924 in the citys north
end, in1984 it was moved 8 miles
to its current location. It expand-
ed and opened as an art museum
15 years ago.
Just outside the museumis the
popular Springmaid Pier, the
longest pier in the city at more
than 1,000 feet with sweeping
views of the Myrtle Beach ocean-
front. Boththepier andits restau-
rant, BARnacles, have recently
undergone renovations.
In downtown Myrtle Beach,
the iconic Peaches Corner restau-
rant near the newzip line has un-
dergone renovations andnowhas
a new facade with a giant spin-
ning peach.

Story and photos
By Marianne Tucker Puhalla
Advertising Projects Writer
If you are interested in owning land,
this 30-acre property in Centermore-
land needs to be at the very top of your
must-see list. Scenic and beautiful, the
Wyoming County acreage is mostly level,
includes a stream, and is 70-percent
mostly cleared. It comes complete with
a number of out-buildings including a
storage barn and some equipment. The
farmhouse has been lovingly renovated
and includes multiple skylights, a top-
of-the-line Corian kitchen with stainless
steel appliances, and a hot tub in the
vaulted family room.
To see what this $489,000 listing has to
offer, the person to call is Jerry Busch of
Coldwell Banker Busch Real Estate. The
property includes the gas and mineral
rights and is zoned agricultural.
The home, located just 11 miles from
the Wyoming Valley, measures 1,905
square feet and has gray vinyl siding, a
covered front porch and a rear deck. The
front door takes you into a 6-by-12 foyer
where a stone hearth surrounds a wood
pellet stove. This heater supplements
the homes oil forced air heat. Blue sculp-
tured carpeting starts here and continues
into the 15-by-12 living room. There are
two side-facing windows with vertical
blinds for privacy and white walls, with
one tongue and groove paneled accent
wall.
This room opens to the rear to the 13-
by-20 eat-in kitchen. Totally redone, this
ultra-modern kitchen is sure to please
thanks to striking oak cabinets topped by
navy blue speckled Corian countertops
designed to match a gray, white and
black tile oor. A favorite feature will be
the two-tiered peninsula breakfast bar,
offering plenty of countertop workspace
and a place for quick meals. Hanging
cabinets over the top have glass doors for
the display of glassware and collectables.
There is plenty of natural light thanks to
a double window rear. High-end appli-
ances include a stainless steel refrigera-
tor, commercial stove, dishwasher and
microwave.
A nearby laundry/mud room provides
access to the side yard and washer and
dryer hook-ups.
To the left, the den is a comfortable
15-by-12 and has blue carpeting and a
three-panel picture window. To the rear
of the kitchen, the 16-by-24 family room
