5
THINGS
YOU NEED
TO KNOW
THIS WEEK
>> GOTTADANCE: Mankind has always liked dancing.
And weve always had a fondness for celebrities. Combine the
two, sprinkle in our love of TV and you have the recipe for a
hit reality showon ABC. Dancing with the Stars premieres
its 14th season today at 8 p.m. Semi-famous people lined up
for this go round include Melissa Gilbert, Martina Navratilova
and Jack Wagner (The actor, not Pennsylvanias auditor gen-
eral. That would not be much fun.)
>> SPRINGTIME AWAITS: We here in Northeastern Pa.
have been blessed with spring-like weather for a fewdays
now. Well, early this Tuesday morning we wont have to call it
spring-like anymore because the real thing will be here.
Spring makes its 2012 debut at 1:14 a.m. when the Vernal Equi-
nox occurs. If you look closely, you can see that the tilt of the
Earths axis is inclined neither away fromnor towards the Sun
at that time. OK, so you cant SEE it, but it is happening. Really.
>> HEYNEIGHBOR: For a lot of people over the age of
30, Fred Rogers was almost like a third parent. The gentle host
of Mister Rogers Neighborhood took children on a daily trip
to the Land of Make Believe from1968 to 2001. Mr. Rogers
died in 2003, but the kids he helped teach along the way
never forgot him. Some of those grown-up kids even went
so far as to make a special day in his honor. Tuesday is
Wont You Be My Neighbor Day, named after his
trademark song. The purpose of the day? Celebrate
Fred Rogers legacy by being nice to your neighbor
and your neighborhood. We could all use more days
when being nice to others is on the agenda.
>> HAHAHAHA: If you like to laugh, you may
have heard of some fellas named John Candy, Bill
Murray and Steve Carrell. Or maybe some funny ladies
called Amy Poehler, Tina Fey or Shelly Long. What do all these
people have in common? OK, other than the fact there were
bipedal humanoids. They were all comedians who got their
start in Chicagos famed Second City comedy troupe. The
current crop of The Second City will be making their way to
the F.M. Kirby Center this Friday at 8 p.m. to say some funny
things and provoke a laughing response fromthe audience. If
this sounds like fun, you may want to check it out.
>> JUMP BALL: So, if you are like most people, that nice,
crisp NCAA tourney bracket you filled out last week is
wadded up in a ball and currently residing in
the bottomof your trash can. But you can
still enjoy some fine, quality hoops
action when the mens Sweet 16 gets
under way this Thursday and Friday.
And the winners of those contests
get to play in the Elite Eight on
Saturday and Sunday. Its March,
folks. Embrace the madness.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico
Mitt Romney scored an over-
whelming win Sunday in Puerto
Ricos Republican presidential
primary, trouncing chief rival
Rick Santorumon the Caribbean
island even as the two rivals
looked ahead to more competi-
tive contests this week in Illinois
and Louisiana.
The victory in the U.S. territo-
ry was so
convincing
that Rom-
ney, the
GOP front-
runner,
won all 20
delegates
to the na-
tional con-
vention at stake because he pre-
vailed with more than 50 percent
of the vote. That padded his
comfortable lead over Santorum
in the race to amass the 1,144
delegates needed to clinch the
nomination.
Nevertheless, the GOP nomi-
nation fight is unlikely to end
anytime soon, with Santorumre-
fusing to step aside even though
Romney is pulling further ahead
in the delegate hunt.
As the day began, Santorum
claimed he was in contest for the
long haul because Romney is a
weak front-runner.
This is a primary process
where somebody had a huge ad-
vantage, huge money advantage,
huge advantage of establishment
support and he hasnt been able
to close the deal and even come
close to closing the deal, Santo-
rum said. That tells you that
theres a real flaw there.
Yet, Santorum sidestepped
when asked if he would fight
Romney on the convention floor
if he failed before August to stop
the former Massachusetts gover-
nor from getting the required
number of delegates.
Romney, in turn, expressed
confidence that hed prevail.
I cant tell you exactly how
the process is going to work,
Romney said. But I bet Im go-
ing to become the nominee.
Both campaigned in Puerto
Rico last week in a campaign
focused on statehood for the U.S.
territory but Romney cut

WILKES-BARRE TWP. -- The
pucks were flying at the Mohe-
gan Sun Arena as part of the in-
augural Hockey for Heroes bene-
fit tournament on Sunday.
The event was organized by
the Goals Foundationas a way to
raise money for the children of
police, fire department and
armed services members who
participate in ice hockey or fig-
ure skating.
The local charitable organiza-
tion is headed by J.J. Murphy,
former Wilkes-Barre city admin-
istrator.
The goal of the foundation is
to raise money for youth sports
programs, in general, said Mur-
phy. I coached youth sports
throughout the country and feel
(sports is) a venue to learn team
work, responsibilityandpositive
life lessons.
Murphy said his foundation
has donated to youth sports or-
ganizations, offering soccer,
baseball and basketball.
In order for the local pro-
grams to qualify for a donation,
they must complete a communi-
ty improvement project as a
group, said Murphy. We ask
themto go out and clean an area
park, ball field or city sports
complex.
Murphy said his group has do-
nated more than $10,000 to local
youth sports programs, and past
charitable efforts includedbuild-
ing the playground at Wilkes-
Barres Coal Street complex and
donating it to the city.
For additional information or
to make a donation, go to goals-

Getting in the game for kids

Times Leader Correspondent
LOS ANGELES Audiences
headed back to school for the
TV update 21 Jump Street,
which opened as the No. 1week-
end movie with $35 million.
Sonys action comedy starring
Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum
as cops going undercover as
high school students took down
the animated hit Dr. Seuss the
Lorax, which had been the top
flick the previous two week-
ends.
Studio estimates Sunday put
Universals The Lorax in sec-
ond-place with $22.8 million,
raising its domestic total to
$158.4 million.
At No. 3, Disneys costly sci-fi
dud John Carter dropped
sharply in its second weekend.
The Edgar Rice Burroughs ad-
aptation took in $13.5 million,
down 55 percent from its ane-
mic opening weekend and lift-
ing its domestic total to a mea-
sly $53.2 million. John Carter
reportedly cost $250 million to
make.
While tanking in the United
States, John Carter has done
decent business overseas. It
took in $40.7 million this week-
end to push its international
haul to $126.1 million and its
worldwide total to $179.3 mil-
lion.
In narrow release, Will Fer-
rells Spanish-language B-movie
spoof Casa de mi Padre
openedsolidly at No. 9 with$2.2
million. The Lionsgate release
played in just 382 theaters, com-
pared to 3,121 for 21 Jump
Street.
Based on the 1980s TV show
that made Johnny Depp a star,
21 Jump Street casts Hill and
Tatum as rookie cops posing as
teens to root out crooks ped-
dling a psychedelic new drug at
a Los Angeles school.
Rather than doing a straight
update of the TV show, Sony
turned 21 Jump Street on its
head for the big-screen, retool-
ing it as a comedy that helped
pack in the under-25 crowd,
which made up half of the audi-
ence.
I just think you had to make
it relevant, and action comedy
was the way to go. And they did
make it very relevant to a young
audience, said Rory Bruer,
head of distribution for Sony.
The guys, Jonah and Channing,
were just killer together. They
had incredible chemistry and
certainly were the attraction for
younger crowds.
Hollywoods box-office hot
streak finally cooled off a bit,
with overall business down for
the first weekend this year. Do-
mestic revenues totaled $108
million, off 6 percent from the
same weekend last year, accord-
ing to box-office tracker Holly-
wood.com.
Thats likely to be just a hic-
cup for Hollywood, though,
with business expected to soar
again next weekend as the adap-
tation of the best-seller The
Hunger Games hits theaters.
Hollywood.com analyst Paul
Dergarabedian said The Hun-
ger Games could have an open-
ing weekend well above $100
million and might surpass the
$116.1 million debut of 2010s
Alice in Wonderland, which
holds the record for best domes-
tic premiere in March.
Dergarabedian attended The
Hunger Games premiere and
said that fans were lined up,
camped out for days. I hadnt
seen that since the Twilight
movie. But unlike Twilight,
which was dominated by the fe-
male audience, theres huge in-
terest frommales in this movie.
With a huge summer season
ahead that includes the superhe-
ro tales The Avengers, The
Amazing Spider-Man and The
Dark Knight Rises, Hollywood
has a strong shot at setting a rev-
enue record this year.
So far, domestic revenues are
at $2.16 billion, 16 percent ahead
of last years.
Estimated ticket sales for Fri-
day through Sunday at U.S. and
Canadian theaters, according to
Hollywood.com. Where availa-
ble, latest international num-
bers are also included. Final do-
mestic figures will be released
Monday.
1. 21 Jump Street, $35 mil-
lion ($7 million international).
2. Dr. Seuss the Lorax,
$22.8 million ($11.6 million in-
ternational).
3. John Carter, $13.5 million

5. A Thousand Words, $3.8
million.
6. Act of Valor, $3.7 million.
7. Safe House, $2.8 million

Island, $2.5 million ($5 million

ations to his head and facial

ton, was located at 4:47 a.m.
when police responded to report
of shots fired.
Police stopped a 2004 Chev-
rolet Trailblazer and detained
the occupants including Cruz-
Romero. A handgun used in the

vated assault, harassment and

PLYMOUTH A husband and
wife were drunk when they
fought with police responding to
a report of a noisy party late
Saturday night at 326 E. Rail-
road St., police said.
According to arrest papers:
Police were going to issue a
citation to Sabrina Lambacher,
the person responsible for the
residence, after she refused to
turn down the music that could
be heard throughout the neigh-
borhood, when a highly intox-
icated Shawn Welles confronted
them.
Welles, 31, of Center Avenue,
Plymouth, was yelling as he
followed officer John Vanderlick
to a police cruiser and grabbed
the officer from behind.
Vanderlick shoved Welles in
the chest, but Welles continued
to scream and took a fighting
stance. When told he was under
arrest, Welles backed up and
jumped around with his fists
clenched.
Welles swung at Vanderlick
and officer Anthony Gorey as
they tried to take him into custo-
dy. While fighting with Welles,
his wife, Amy Welles, 31, jumped
on Vanderlicks back. The offi-
cers and the couple fell and
Vanderlick placed Amy Welles in
handcuffs.
Additional police units arrived
and assisted with the arrest
Shawn Welles.
While in the back of a King-
ston police vehicle, Amy Welles
tried to kick out the side win-
dow.
The couple were taken to the
Plymouth police station and
placed in separate holding cells.
Amy Welles blamed her hus-
band for her getting arrested.
When he asked her why she
jumped into the fight, she said,
I attacked a police officer to
protect you because you had to
be a tough guy.
The husband and wife each
face charges of disorderly con-
duct, public drunkenness, ha-
rassment and resisting arrest.
Amy Welles faces an additional
charge of obstructing adminis-
tration of law functions.
They were committed to the
county prison and released
Sunday afternoon after posting
$10,000 bail each.

as evidenced by the various festivals
and bazaars rife with and dedicated to
it, as well as the traditions that are
found around many a family dinner ta-
ble.
Those involved with the Luzerne
County Community College Joseph A.
Paglianite Culinary Arts Institute and
Mass Media and Communications De-
partment recognize this, and would
like to use it to bring a newformof en-
tertainment to the area.
We now have access to a kitchen
and a high definition television studio,
which were going to use to produce a
cooking show, Tom McHugh, depart-
ment chairman of Mass Media and
Communications, said. He and Joanne
Sabalaske, an adjunct at LCCC, are
heading up the project. Bothhave been
involved with WVIA.
The show will help the culinary and
communications students at the
school.

WILKES-BARRE A 100-year-old
bank building at the southern cusp of
Wilkes-Barres downtown is finding
new life as a high-end apartment com-
plex.
Sam Johnson of Weatherly is set to
open the new, 16-unit complex in the
former South Side Bank building at the
corner of South Main Street and Ross
Street April 1.
The building is the third large-scale
apartment or condo project to come to
the citys downtown in the past six
years, following the Elevations Lofts in
the Movies 14 cinema complex and the
recently renovated apartments at the
Wilkes-Barre YMCA, but Johnson said
his building occupies a different niche
in the city real-estate market.
I wanted to offer something that
downtown doesnt have, Johnson said.
Other than maybe the (Elevations)
lofts, which you have to buy, theres no
high-end rentals downtown, and I think
theres a market for that. I thinkit brings
almost a New York metro feel to the ar-
ea, and thats something people appre-
ciate, but they just cant find.
Sam Johnson shows off a kitchen area in an apartment in the renovated bank
building at South Main Street and Ross Street in Wilkes-Barre. The units will
be available for rent April 1.

HAGERSTOWN, Md. The
last straw for 17-year-old Alton
Burke was a note left on his door.
The high school dropout picked
up the phone and re-enrolled at
South Hagerstown High.
Burke missedroughly 200 days
of class, but Heather Dixon, the
student intervention specialist
who left the note, never gave up
on him.
Aggressive efforts to prevent
students such as Burke from
dropping out contributed to a
modest 3.5 percent increase na-
tionally in the high school gradu-
ation rate from 2001 to 2009, ac-
cording to research to be present-
ed today at the Grad Nation sum-
mit in Washington. The event
was organized by the childrens
advocacy group Americas Prom-
ise Alliance founded by former
Secretary of State Colin Powell.
The graduation rate was 75
percent in 2009, meaning 1 in 4
students fails to get a diploma in
four years, researchers found.
Thats well below the organiza-
tions goal of 90 percent by 2020.
Researchers found that the
number of dropout factories,
schools that fail tograduate more
than 60 percent of students on
time, had dropped by more than
450 between 2002 and 2010, but
that 1,550 remain.
Big gains are possible if you
work hard at it, and if you dont
focus on it, youre going to go
backward, saidRobert Balfanz, a
report author and director of the
Everyone Graduates Center at
the School of Education at Johns
Hopkins University.
The increase in graduation
rates was primarily because of
growth in 12 states, with New
York and Tennessee showing
double-digit gains since 2002, ac-
cording to the research. At the
other end, 10 states had declines:
Arizona, Arkansas, California,
Connecticut, New Jersey, Ne-
braska, New Mexico, Nevada,
Rhode Island and Utah.
So far, only Wisconsin has met
the 90 percent benchmark, al-
though Vermont is close.
This years report proves
struggling schools are not des-
tined to fail, said Education Sec-
retary Arne Duncan. The reality
is that evenonedropout factoryis
too many.
The authors said there are pro-
ven strategies to tackle the prob-
lem, such as getting all students
to read at grade level, raising the
compulsory school attendance
age to 18 and developing early
warning systems to help identi-
fy students that might be at risk
of later dropping out.
In his State of the Union ad-
dress, President Barack Obama
encouraged states to pass laws to
require students to stay in school
until they graduate or they turn
18.
Its estimated that high school
graduates will earn $130,000
more over their lifetimes than
dropouts, the report said.
Howto track high school grad-
uation rates has been a conten-
tious issue for years, with states
using different methods to come
up with a number.
States are now required to use
the same method to compute
graduation rates based on a Bush
administration rule from 2008.
Nevada stood out for its low
graduation rate of 56 percent, a
decline of more than 15 percent
from 2002 to 2009, the largest of
any state, the report said. During
Nevadas boom years, students
dropped out to earn hefty pay-
checks parkingcars, pouringcon-
crete or serving drinks along the
Las Vegas Strip.
Today, many of Las Vegas
dropouts are out of work and un-
able to jumpstart the economy
because they lack the required
credentials, the report said.
But Balfanzsaidtherearesome
signs that the state is organizing
itself against its big challenge.
Many of the strategies encour-
aged by the authors have been
adopted in Washington County,
Md. The district has a 92 percent
graduation rate, up 15 percent
from 2000.
The district offers e-learning
classes for credit recovery, eve-
ning classes, and a family center
where pregnant teens and stu-
dent parents can attend class.
Student attendance and perform-
ance data are carefully tracked to
identify early any students at
risk. Intervention specialists de-
velop relationships with these
students, doing everything from
visiting their homes to helping
them connect with community
mental health services.
Clayton Wilcox, the district su-
perintendent, said that even as
theyworktokeepstudents, those
who drop out are warmly wel-
comed back.
Its not easy to drop out. Were
going to hound you. Classroom
teachers are going to talk to you.
Principals are going to talk to
you. The guidance counselor is
going to talk to you. We dont
make it easy. Wilcox said.
Dixon, the intervention spe-
cialist whoworks withBurke, and
Amy Warrenfeltz, another inter-
vention specialist at South Ha-
gerstown High, said some of the
kids they deal with have mental
health issues or drug and alcohol
problems. Others struggle be-
cause they switched schools be-
cause of financial issues in their
family or had a bad experience in
school with a teacher or peer,
they said.
Burke said it was hard to get
motivated to attend class once he
got into the routine of not get-
ting up and it became a habit.

Syrian govt site attacked
A
n explosion struck near a Syrian
government security building in
the northern city of Aleppo on Sunday,
while a harsh security crackdown pre-
vented opposition rallies marking one
year since the first nationwide protests
of the uprising against President Bash-
ar Assad.
The Syrian state news agency called
the Aleppo explosion a terrorist
bombing and said one policeman and
one female civilian were killed, while
30 were injured. It was the second
attack in two days on regime strong-
holds.
Three suicide bombings in the cap-
ital Damascus on Saturday killed 27
people.

Meth baby problems found
The first study to look at metham-
phetamines potential lasting effects on
children whose mothers used it in
pregnancy finds these kids at higher
risk for behavior problems than other
children.
The behavior differences anxiety,
depression, moodiness werent
huge, but lead researcher Linda La-
Gasse called them very worrisome.
Methamphetamine is a stimulant
like crack cocaine, and earlier research
showed meth babies have similarities
to so-called crack babies smaller
in size and prone to drowsiness and
stress. Results in long-term studies
conflict on whether children of co-
caine-using mothers have lasting be-
havior problems.
Whether problems persist in young
children of meth users is unknown.
Government data suggest more than 10
million Americans have used meth;
fewer than 1 percent of pregnant wom-
en are users.
NEW YORK
Floor collapses under party
The city has issued a full vacate
order for a three-story Queens house
after the third floor collapsed.
A spokeswoman for the city Depart-

Saturday night collapse is under in-
vestigation.
The Fire Department says a dozen
people were injured when the floor fell
during a party. Two people were hospi-
talized, one with serious injuries. Ten
people refused medical attention. One
person was trapped and had to be ex-
tracted.
MARSEILLE, FRANCE
1-ton WWII bomb found
Officials in Marseille have evacuated
an area around the French Mediterra-
nean citys port so they can remove a
1-ton German bomb that dates to
World War II.
Around 1,000 people were asked to
clear out Sunday. Boat traffic has been
halted and access to several coastal
roads blocked. The bomb will be taken
to a military base to be detonated.
It was discovered a week ago by
construction workers who accidentally
pierced the explosive with their back
hoe.
The regional government says the
bombs ignition system no longer
works but the sheer amount of explo-
sives 1,400 pounds made it dan-
gerous.
The bomb was apparently buried by
German soldiers, who had planned to
destroy the citys port, as they retreat-
ed near the end of the war.

down from a main highway as tear gas
fills the dusty air Sunday in Muqsha,
Bahrain, just outside the capital of

KABUL, Afghanistan Charges
against an American soldier accused of
killing 16 Afghan civilians are expected
to be filed within a week and if the case
goes to court the trial will be held in the
United States, said a legal expert with
the U.S. military familiar with the inves-
tigation.
Army Staff Sgt. Robert Bales is sus-
pectedof leavinga U.S. base insouthern
Afghanistan, entering homes and gun-
ning down nine children, four men and
three women before dawn on March 11.
Bales, a 38-year-old married father of
two from Lake Tapps, Washington, is
currently being held at a U.S. military
prison in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.
The shootings have further strained
ties between the U.S. government and
President Hamid Karzai who has ac-
cused the U.S. military of not cooperat-
ingwitha delegationhe appointedtoin-
vestigate the killings in Panjwai district
of Kandahar province. The Afghan in-
vestigative team also is not convinced
that one soldier could have single-hand-
edlyleft his base, walkedtotwovillages,
shot andkilled16civilians andset fire to
some of their bodies.
Syed Mohammad Azeen, a tribal el-
der fromBalandi village, said Sunday in
Kandahar that he andother villagers be-
lieve more than a dozen soldiers were
involved. Other villagers said they saw
16 to 20 U.S. troops in the villages. Its
unclear whether the soldiers the villag-
ers saw were part of a search party that
left the base to look for Bales, who was
reported missing.
Allegations that 16 to 20 people were
involved in the killings are completely
false, according to a U.S. official famil-
iar with the case, who spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity to discuss the investi-
gation.
Karzai seemed to endorse the skepti-
cism about the U.S. account of a single
shooter when he met with relatives of
the victims inKabul onFriday ina meet-
ing covered by the news media. He re-
counted a story fromone of the families
about women and children being killed
in four different rooms of a house,
dragged into one room and lit on fire.
That, one man cannot do, said Kar-
zai.

NEW YORK Protesters
marking the six-month mark
since the start of the Occupy

tody by police officers who
poured into the park after warn-

Police said 73 people were de-

were still in custody Sunday af-

Some dem-

locked arms
and sat down
in the middle
of Zuccotti

formed a human ring around the
park to keep protesters out.

the movement that has brought
attention to economic inequali-

But New York Police Det.
Brian Sessa said the tipping
point came when the protesters
startedbreaking the park rules.
They set up tents. They had
sleeping bags, he said. Electri-
cal boxes also were tampered
with and there was evidence of
graffiti.
Sessa said Brookfield Proper-

rity to advise the protesters to
stop pitching tents and to leave
the park. The protesters, in turn,
became agitated with them. The

States that allow medical marijuana
have grappled with determining impair-

recreational use, bringing a new urgency

Its not that simple. Driving while im-

But it highlights the challenges lawen-

for drugged driving noware based on po-

JERUSALEMDespite saber-rattling
from Jerusalem, Israeli officials now
agree with the U.S. assessment that Teh-
ran has not yet decided on the actual con-
struction of a nuclear bomb, according to
senior Israeli government and defense
figures.
Even so, there is great concern in Israel
about leaving Iran on the cusp of a
bomb explaining why Israel continues
to hint at a military attack on Irans nucle-
ar installations before it moves enough of
them underground to protect them from
Israels bombs.
Israels leaders have been charging in
no uncertain terms for years that Iran is
trying to build nuclear weapons. Though
officials say they accept the more nu-
anced American view, they warn that it is
just a matter of semantics, because an
Iran on the verge of being able to build a
bomb would still be a danger.
The United States is playing up its as-
sessment that Iran has
not made its final deci-
sion in a public cam-
paignto persuade Israel
to call off any attack
plan and allow the in-
creasingly harsh sanc-
tions against Iran time
to persuade Tehran to
back down.
The concern which is widely shared
in Israel as part of a complex calculation
is of an Iranian retaliation that might
sparkregional conflict andsendoil prices
soaring, at a time when the world econo-
my is already struggling and U.S. presi-
dential elections loom.
Also in the equation are concerns
about the ability of the Israeli home front
to withstand a sustained barrage of Ira-
nian missiles fired in retaliation. Iranian
surrogates HezbollahinLebanonandHa-
mas inthe Gaza Stripcouldalsobombard
Israel with thousands of rockets, and U.S.
troops in the Gulf region could also be-
come targets.
Several senior Israeli officials who
spoke in recent days to The Associated
Press said Israel has come around to the
U.S. viewthat no final decision to build a
bomb has been made by Iran. The offi-
cials, who are privy to intelligence and to
the discussion about the Iranian pro-
gram, said this is the prevailing view in
the intelligence community, but there are
also questions about whether Tehran
might be hiding specific bomb making
operations.
The concern, they said, is about allow-
ing the Iranian program to reach the
point where there is enough enriched
weapons grade material that a bomb
could quickly be assembled, within a
year.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Neta-
nyahu said Sunday, Iran, whose leader
foments terrorism and violence around
the globe and calls for our destruction ...
this regime must never be allowed to
have nuclear weapons.

Pennsylvanias nursing homes
can no longer sustain them-
selves with the latest cuts to
Medicaid, according to a health
advocate for the elderly. Families
who are likely to pick up the
slack also are seeing their sup-
port threatened.
Two-thirds of Pennsylvanias
nursing home residents are on
Medicaid, and for each one of
them, a nursing home loses an
average of $19.23 a day, said Dr.
Stuart H. Shapiro, president and
CEO of the Pennsylvania Health
Care Association. These short-
falls are unsustainable.
The proposed $102 million
statewide cut in Medicaid fund-
ing would be felt at local nursing
homes.
Nursing home administrators
have little room to cut expendi-
tures, according to PHCA:
Staffing a nursing home
around the clock makes up 70
percent of nursing home expen-
ditures. At the same time, nurs-
ing homes are highly regulated
and must meet minimum staff-
ing requirements.
Nursing homes, whether
nonprofit or for-profit, operate
on the lowest margins of all
health care sectors -- less than 1
percent versus 5 percent for hos-
pitals and home-health and man-
aged-care companies.
All health care providers lose
money caring for those on Med-
icaid, but nursing homes suffer
the most because they serve a
much higher percentage of indi-
viduals on Medicaid, Shapiro
said.
Nursing homes already have
cut staff, reduced benefits, can-
celed renovations and delayed
purchases, he said. Many are
turning away people on Medi-
caid because the homes cannot
afford to care for them.
Families will feel the emotion-
al, physical and financial stress.
I believe that we are in a cri-
sis, said Dr. Dara Gergel Bou-
rassa, director of gerontology in
the Department of Social Work
and Gerontology at Shippens-
burg University. If nursing
homes are not taking as many
Medicaid-reliant residents - cou-
pled with the fact that private-
pay home care is extremely ex-
pensive - this may put more
stress on the adult children, or
other family members, who will
be responsible for the care of the
older adult.
This assumes the older adult
needing care has a family willing
and able to care for him or her,
she said.
The state Department of Pub-
lic Welfare has proposed cutting
back the time that case workers
can spend on home visits with
the elderly. Service coordina-
tion would replace care man-
agement. Visits by registered
nurses would be eliminated.
Case workers could spend a
maximum of three hours a week
with a client.
Federal funding for family ca-
regiver support services has
been flat-lined for four years.
The program helps the frail stay
in their homes longer and al-
lowed families to provide better
care, according to the federal
Agency on Aging. Nearly half the
people caring for recipients eligi-
ble for nursing-home care indi-
cated the elderly could not have
remained at home without sup-
port services.
State budget cuts are exacer-
bated by recent, severe Medicare
cuts, said Shapiro. For years,
Medicare revenues have enabled
nursing homes to weather Med-
icaid shortfalls -- but now those
Medicare revenues are disap-
pearing:
In October, a new federal
Medicare rate rule resulted in a
nearly $300 million annual cut to
nursing homes in the state.
In February, the extension
of the payroll tax cut will trim
Medicare payments to Pennsyl-
vania nursing homes by $46.4
million over the next three
years.
The failure of the so-called
congressional super committee
to reduce the debt late last year
triggers in 2014 another $500
million in automatic cuts to
nursing homes across the state.
Gov. TomCorbett is proposing
a 4 percent cut for fiscal 2013.
Nursing homes have already
felt the impact of cuts in federal
and state reimbursement for
care, according to a study re-
leased in November.
The Avalere Health LLC sur-
vey of 292 respondents repre-
senting nearly 3,000 facilities
across the U.S. indicated:
37 percent were laying off
direct care workers, or about 6
percent of their workforce.
74 percent were changing
wage rates including reduced or
frozen wages.
48 percent plan to cut bene-
fits. Job turnover is expected to
be higher.
HCR ManorCare has laid off
two people at every nursing
home in Pennsylvania, according
the Pennsylvania Health Care
Association. Genesis Health-
Care, based in Kennett Square,
delayed or canceled nearly all its
capital projects, delayed filling
open positions and froze wages
and altered benefits.
PHCA goes so far as to say the
industry has been destabilized,
and that ultimately, overall ac-
cess to nursing home care will
decline as facilities, which are al-
most full today, will be forced to
close.
Pa. nursing homes in crisis, advocate says
Health Care Association head:
Families will feel emotional,
physical, financial stress.

ATLANTICCITY, N.J. State
governments lack transparency
and accountability to citizens,
and remain at high risk for cor-
ruption, accordingtoa newstudy
of all 50 statehouses.
Not a single state receivedanA
in the State Integrity Investiga-
tion ranking, a product of the
Center for Public Integrity, Pub-
lic Radio International and Glob-
al Integrity.
Its telling that no state re-
ceivedanoverall grade of A, said
Caitlin Ginley, a staff writer for
the Center for Public Integrity
and a project manager on the
study. In every state, theres
room to improve the ethics laws,
the level of transparency on gov-
ernment proceedings, the disclo-
sure of information, and most
importantly the oversight of
these laws.
One of the major findings was
that even when ethics laws are
passed, they are difficult to en-
force and lack meaningful conse-
quences for violators.
Only five states got rankings of
B, led by a surprising recipient:
New Jersey. It got a B-plus, with
an overall score of 87 out of a pos-
sible 100.
Despite or perhaps because
of recent corruption scandals,
New Jersey got the top ranking
becauseof steps it tooktocombat
corruption, including tough eth-
ics and anti-corruption laws it
adopted in response.
NewJersey has a colorful tradi-
tion of corruption in govern-
ment, including a U.S. congress-
man taking a bribe from an FBI
agent posing as a wealthy Arab
sheik, a Jersey shore councilman
caught on tape bragging to an un-
dercover officer that he would
never get caught because I could
smell a cop a mile away, and a
decade-long string of 150 state
and local officials who were ei-
ther convicted or pleaded guilty
to federal corruption charges.
The cases ranged fromMotor Ve-
hicle Commission employees
selling fraudulent licenses to pol-
iticians peddling their influence
for kickbacks.
Cases stemming fromthe 2009
roundupof 44 people inwhat was
dubbed by the feds as Operation
Bid-Rig are still working their
way through the courts.
But that history of corruption
also led to strong reforms de-
signed to prevent it in the future.
Among them was a law prohibit-
ing campaign contributions by
most firms doing business with
the state.
Its nice to be recognized for
being ahead of the curve, said
Michael Drewniak, a spokesman
for Gov. Chris Christie, a former
U.S. attorney who prosecuted
many of the recent cases. The
governor is proud of the changes
hes made and the resources hes
made available to the public in
terms of government transparen-
cy. Government operates and be-
haves better when its open and
transparent, and taxpayers feel
informed and a part of the proc-
ess when they can see how their
money is spent, who is getting
contracts and whos on the pay-
roll and such.
The report found that states
with well-known scandals or his-
tories of corruption often have
the toughest laws and enforce-
ment that bring them to light.
The report found so-called
quiet states may be at higher
risk for corruption, with fewer
means to bring practices to light.

including pieces of broken china
andshardsof clayfromthebroken
pipe. Gasper explained the flow-
ing water is uncovering the origi-
nal fill dirt on the property. He
saidthat inthe past builders used
ash and any other debris they
could find to level properties.
He said the problem started
soon after the completion of a
stormwater project at the inter-
section of Beaumont Street and
Chestnut Street up the hill from
his house. The project was meant
to divert stormwater in another
direction. He believes the project
is to blame for his problems.
Gasper said the project design
was done by Borton-Lawson and
executed by Pasonick Engineer-
ing. Paul Pasonickis Warrior Run
Boroughs engineer. A y-shaped
channel was dug at the top of the
hill above Gaspers home and wa-
terflowingdowntheleft legof the
y now flows down the right leg
toward Beaumont Street.
When the project was intro-
duced, residentsweretoldthewa-
ter would be diverted into a
stormwater pipe that ran under
Beaumont Street infront of Gasp-
ers house. Gasper said that be-
fore the project stormwater used
to run to the left behind the
houses across the street fromthe
home.
He said he thinks no stormwa-
ter pipe exists. He even spoke to
the council before officials broke
ground on the project. Gasper
grewup on Beaumont Street and
had been told by a next-door
neighbor and longtime resident
there are no stormwater drains
under the street.
I had concerns about where
thewaterwasgoingtoendup,he
said.
He and Molusky have been to
the council several times since
the neighbors pipe broke but
havent seen any progress in fix-
ing the problem. He said the bor-
oughs stanceis that theproblems
were not necessarily caused by
the stormwater diversion.
Pasonick reported to the coun-
cil in December the preliminary
estimate for rerouting the Beau-
mont Street stormwater system
was $235,000.
Pasonicksaidof the problemat
thelast council meeting, Theres
no quick easy fix.
Council President Robert Day-
lida said at the meeting, Were
still looking into all the possibili-
ties.
Gasper wants a recent $75,000
grant the borough received from
Luzerne County Community De-
velopment tobeusedtorepairthe
problems affecting his yard. The
boroughhas failedus. Ultimately,
I hold them responsible because
they approved the project, he
said.
Borough officials are limited in
what theycansayabout theBeau-
mont Street problems as the bor-
ough is nowinvolved in litigation
over the situation.
Mayor Jim Brodginski said he
has seen the yards in question
during a rainstorm and he feels
for the residents.
They have a serious problem
on their properties and we dont
have the money to fix them the
right way, he said.
He referred to the recent ap-
pointment of Greg Gulick of G&
R Consulting as code officer for
the borough as a possible solu-
tion. Were hoping to use his
skills to apply for grants, too.
Meanwhile, Gasper andMolus-
ky have been counseled that if
they take legal action, they will
have tosue their next-door neigh-
bor because the water is coming
into their yard through hers.

Most voice centers are typ-
ically found attached to univer-
sityhospitals inmajor U.S. cities
such as the University of Pitts-
burgh Medical Center, where
Tellis did the majority of her
training.
The Speech-Language and
Hearing Center on Misericor-
dias campus enables students
to gain clinical experience un-
der the direct supervision of li-
censed faculty and staff.
Tellis develops treatment gui-
delines and monitors graduate
students who work with voice
clients.
Due to its function as a train-
ing facility, the Speech-Lan-
guage and Hearing Center pro-
vides these services to the com-
munity at little to no cost, bene-
fiting SLP students who are
getting hands-on clinical experi-
ence as well as patients who
might not be able to afford simi-
lar therapy at a large hospital.
Free to Misericordia stu-
dents, voice therapy sessions at
the Speech Language and Hear-
ing Center generally cost about
$9 a session for the general pub-
lic. However, services can be of-
fered free of charge.
We ask for a nominal fee. If
you cant afford it, we can pro-
vide the service to you, Tellis
said.
All proceeds go directly back
into the clinic to update and buy
new equipment and provide
whatever graduate students
might need to perform the ther-
apy.
Therapy can vary from per-
son to person, Tellis said.
She takes into account the pa-
tients history, type of music be-
ing performed, previous train-
ing, experience and many other
factors when evaluating a pa-
tient.
But one aspect of voice ther-
apy Tellis always focuses in her
nearly15years of practiceis how
a patients vocal cords function.
All of those things can be
whittled down into what actual-
ly happens with your anatomy,
and Im very much a proponent
for people understanding how
to change their anatomy, and
howto understand what theyre
doing to make a certain sound,
she said.
Local singer benefiting
Twenty-year-old Gia Mazur
began voice therapy at Miser-
icordia University in January.
A communications major at
Misericordia by day, Mazur
sings lead vocals in the Dickson
City-based cover band 1 Hot
Mess on most nights.
At any given show, she will
sing anything from Lady Gaga
to Motley Crue to RUN DMC.
The groups set versatility calls
for Mazur to be versatile in her
vocal range.
Although she learned to sing
at a young age, her training was
limited in range.
I had teachers who werent
teaching me the way I needed to
learn to do the types of songs I
would sing, Mazur said.
The morning after her first
show in 2009 in which she sang
for nearly three hours, her
throat was swollen to the point
where she couldnt even touch
it.
Unknown to her, the repeated
strain on her vocal cords was
causing hemorrhaging.
In 2011, Grammy-award win-
ningartist Adeleunderwent sur-
gery to repair her vocal cords,
damagedinthesamewayas Ma-
zurs.
Like an athlete with an injury,
Mazur forced herself to sing
through the pain while perform-
ing on most nights.
The next day, the pain would
always be worse.
I couldnt keep doing that.
Something had to give, Mazur
said.
After a visit to an ear, nose
and throat doctor in 2011, Ma-
zur was referred to Misericor-
dias Speech-Language Patholo-
gy Department.
I knew I didnt want to have
the surgery, she said. So I
thought I would give it a try.
After an evaluation with spe-
cialists at the center, Mazur be-
gan her therapy sessions in late
January.
Mazur andTellis spendsignif-
icant time working one on one
toteachMazur howtohit all the
notes she needs towithout caus-
inginjurytoher throat andwith-
out any pain following a per-
formance.
Well listen to someone like
Adele and figure out what shes
doing to make that sound qual-
ity. AndGia will thenlearnwhat
she needs to do make that qual-
ity, not just imitate the sound,
Tellis said.
Some improvement
Just three sessions into Ma-
zurs therapy, Tellis said she is
encouraged by Mazurs vast im-
provement.
Shes doing a great job, and
shes learning more and more
each session, Tellis said.
The sessions are about one to
two hours in length and Mazur
significantly works her vocal
cords during those sessions.
It can be frustrating. Its a lot
of hard work, she said.
But Mazur said she is already
feeling the benefits, just three
sessions in.
I feel so much better, she
said. Im able to hit all the high
notes andactuallybeabletotalk

Mazur said she plans to con-
tinue therapy for the remainder
of the spring semester and into
the summer.

of the program, coming up with all the ideas
as to how were going to lay it out and so on,
all the way through the production phase
which would also mean being involved in the
actual taping of the show.
The team worked together Friday to tape
two 30-minute pilot episodes. The featured
chefs were Kate Gabriele and Dave Pemble-
ton, an adjunct and full-time professor of the
culinary arts department at LCCC, respec-
tively.
We wanted to get a feel for how the show
was going to run, howwe might be able to lay
it out and work on camera angles and so on
and so forth, McHugh said. Most impor-
tantly, we wanted to have a product that we
could showto local television stations and or
cable outlets to try to get coverage of our
new series.
The overall plan is to produce a regular
cooking program, complete with roll-in foot-
age about the Culinary Institute and the fea-
tured chef and restaurant, in front of a live
studio audience. The culinary center plays
host to a classroom with theater-style seat-
ing.
Its not only going to give the area resi-
dents the opportunity to see howa television
showis made, but allowtheman opportunity
to taste what the chef is making that very
day.
Culinary folks at LCCCwill be involved, as
well as area restaurants and chefs.
Some day we may find a local person
whos an expert in Greek or Italian cooking,
someone who is what we might say a nona,
a grandmother who has a terrific spaghetti
recipe, McHugh said.
McHugh said he understands that such
people, as well as those who are professional
chefs, may not be much for the camera,
which is why they decided to include a host,
former local television personality Kathy
Coslett.
We wanted to get someone from the area
that will help lead the chef through the proc-
ess; we understand not everyone will be com-
fortable in front of the camera.
The team hopes to film over the summer
and have the show ready for broadcast in the
fall.
We get out students involved in a lot of
hands-on things, but if they can work on a
project thats going to be seen by people on
television or even on the web then it gives
them a sense of real experience, real world
experience, McHugh said.
Employers are looking for people with
practical experience, that knows the basics,
and thats what we want to provide to the
students.

A Butler County community
group opposed to Marcellus
shale natural gas drilling wants
elected leaders to know it has
concerns about the potential
for gas pipelines to crisscross
the landscape.
Marcellus Outreach Butler is
asking those with concerns
about the potential number of
lines and how closely they will
be regulated to write, call or
visit politicians at all levels.
This is part of the structure
of the whole Marcellus shale
(play), Diane Arnold, an offi-
cial with the organization, told
the roughly 40 people who at-
tended an informational meet-
ing Saturday at Butler Public
Library.
Group members discussed
their fears about thousands of
miles of pipeline traversing the
state, arguing the lines arent
regulated well enough.
We are moving from a rural
area into an industrial area,
Arnold said.
The group is planning two
events to highlight its mission.
The first, dubbed the Marcel-
lus Infrastructure Counter
Summit, happens Tuesday in
Pittsburgh. The second, a bike
trip designed to raise aware-
ness to the anti-Marcellus
movement, happens over two
weeks in July.
Tuesdays event runs coun-
ter to the Marcellus Mid-
stream Conference, which will
be held Monday through
Wednesday at the David L.
Lawrence Convention Center.
The anti-Marcellus summit be-
gins at 4 p.m. at Smithfield
United Church of Christ, ac-
cording to MOB members.
Marcellus Outreach Butler

Sunday morning in a wooded
area near her familys farm,
state police said.
The death of Miranda Miner
is not suspicious, said Wyoming
County Coroner Thomas Ku-

conducted today to determine
the cause of death, he said.
Miner was last seen around
1:10 p.m. on March 12 in the
Centermoreland area.
State police are continuing
their investigation of the wom-
ans death.
PITTSTON Police are in-

The robbery occurred shortly
after 12 a.m. Sunday and the
suspect got away with an un-
determined amount of cash,
police said. The suspect was
between 5 feet, 6 inches and 5
feet, 8 inches, weighed approxi-

No records of ownership
The county has no property as-
sessment recordof Belles Islands
size or ownership. County offi-
cials say theyd have to complete
exhaustive legal and mapping re-
search to determine if the island
was ever under private or corpo-
rate ownership.
Officials in neighboring Co-
nyngham Township are equally
concerned with the growth of
Macks Island, which is actually a
cluster of islands by the Mocana-
qua section.
The islands are definitely get-
ting bigger. Im sure its causing
back flow, said township Super-
visor Ed Whitebread.
His supervisor colleague, Mod-
erno Rossi, put it bluntly: They
should remove all the islands.
End of story.
Whitebread said he has heard
talk of dredging the river and ad-
dressing the islands for years but
doesnt believe the state and fed-
eral government will ever invest
the money.
Jim Brozena, executive direc-
tor of the Luzerne County Flood
Protection Authority, said analy-
sis would be required to deter-
mine if river islands are signifi-
cantly increasing flooding.
I think that the only way it
would make sense is if we looked
at the overall hydrology and hy-
draulics of the whole watershed
to see if there was any impact,
Brozena said.
Removal of the river islands
was discussed years ago before
the Wyoming Valley Levee was
raised, and Brozena said he be-
lieves an assessment concluded
the Susquehanna would be less
than a foot lower during flooding
if the islands were leveled.
Complicated process
Island alterations would also
require approval of multiple gov-
ernment agencies because the is-
lands shelter wildlife and contain
historic artifacts, he said.
You would also have environ-
mental impact to the fish. That
would all have to be evaluated,
Brozena said.
Nine of the 10 islands with
knownowners are inthe hands of
private individuals or corpora-
tions. The county owns Richards
Island under the 109th Field Ar-
tillery (Carey Avenue) Bridge in
Larksville and Plymouth.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engi-
neers assesses many flood-reduc-
tion solutions, which could in-
clude a review of river islands,
but the agency would require fed-
eral authorization and funding to
get involved, said Chris Augs-
burger, spokesman for the Corps
Baltimore District.
Federal legislators would have
to provide that go-ahead.
Malcolm Plevyak, who owns
Hesss Island downstream in Sa-
lem Township, said he regularly
breaks up growth and fallen trees
so his island is not choked with
timber.
Plevyak said someone must
clear the clog on some of the
other islands so water can flow
through. Controlled burning
may be an option, he said.
Bachsaidhedlike government
officials to conduct an assess-
ment of the islands in Shickshin-
ny and Conyngham Township to
come up with options.
You cannot tell me this does
not have an effect on the people
of Shickshinny and Mocanaqua.
That to me is common sense, he
said.
Urban: Study needed
County Councilman Stephen
A. Urban, chairman of the county
Flood Protection Authority, said
he believes the authority, state
and U.S. Army Corps should con-
sider exploring an island assess-
ment and river dredging.
The state owns the river bed,
and dredged sand and stone
could be sold to generate reve-
nue, he said. Dredging is com-
pleted in other waterways, he
said.
The priority of the authority
at this time is helping people get
out of harms way through
buyouts so they can move on
with their lives, but as soon as
that is done, Id be glad to look at
this withtheArmyCorps, Urban
said.
DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER
Belles Island in the Susquehanna River by Shickshinny. Luzerne County records show no ownership
of the island. Borough residents fear its contributing to flooding.
Macks Island, is actually a cluster of islands in the Susquehanna River, near the Mocanaqua section
of Conyngham Township. Local folks once farmed the island, but its now a flooding concern and
stuck in a back-tax sale.
ISLANDS
other names over the years.
The Susquehanna islands
were a great source of recreation
for the people and were also fre-
quently used for farming, Evina
said.
Old news accounts say Ri-
chards Island, which primarily
sits in Larksville under the 109th
(Carey Avenue) Bridge, doubled
as a baseball and soccer field be-
fore the 1930s. A bridge ramp
once extended to the island.
The islandwas sectionedoff by
local governments inthe1930s so
local residents could grow food
during the Great Depression, the
accounts said.
Belles Island in Shickshinny
once housed a picnic ground,
dance hall and concession stand
accessible by a motor boat for
people who didnt have their own
watercraft, accordingtoa written
account of the Shickshinny area
by the late Walter Hontz.
This adventure was greatly
appreciated and patronized by a
large number of people in warm
months, Hontz wrote in his ac-
count, which was obtained by
Evina.
Hontz said people farmed the
fertile river islands to boost the
local food supply, though they of-
tenhadto reckonwithice chunks
in the spring thaw. There was no
advance warning system back
then.
He relayed a story of Mame
Rhinard and her mother, who
went to Belles Island to care for
their farmanimals when the Sus-
quehanna suddenly filled with
fast-flowing ice.
Mames brother, Olie, ignored
people who advised him to scrap
plans to rescue them.
Folks shook hands with Olie
before he left, thinking theyd
never see himalive again, Hontz
wrote.
Olie rowed through the thick
cakes of ice and helped his moth-
erandsistermovepigsupstepsto
a hay loft. Acowwas stuck in the
rising water but was saved, and
the trio made it back to shore, he
wrote.
A man named William Billy
Ryman had great success grow-
ing cantaloupes and watermel-
ons on one of the islands in the
Shickshinny area. He successful-
ly sued a coal company that ruin-
ed one of his crops with refuse
and silt dumped into the river
through a slush chute, Hontz
said.
A small island in Salem Town-
ship was once called Pig Island
because pigs and goats were kept
there years ago, said township
resident MalcolmPlevyak.
Monocanock Island, which
falls inthree municipalities inthe
Wyoming area, was a refuge for
Patriots attempting to flee Loyal-
ists and Indians during the
bloody Battle of Wyoming, said
Luzerne CountyHistorical Socie-
ty Director Tony Brooks.
Some escaped, while others
were killed in the river.
One Patriot with the last name
Pensil was hiding in a cluster of
willows on the island when his
Tory brother approached. The
Tory brother ignoredhis pleas for
protection and shot his brother
dead.
JosephVullo, oneof theowners
of Wintermoot Island, which is
primarily in Exeter north of the
Eighth Street Bridge, said Amer-
ican Indians once camped on his
island.
There were a lot of Indianarti-
facts there, some arrowheads and
pottery, Vullo said.
Evina said he was informed by
two sources that a man who died
of smallpox was buried in an un-
markedgrave onBelles Islandbe-
cause residents were so fearful of
the dreaded disease, but he has
never been able to acquire writ-
ten verification.
The 1923 ferry accident essen-
tiallyendedfarmingontheisland
near Mocanaqua, saidEvina, who
retired from a position at the Li-
brary of Congress inWashington,
D.C. He found a rusty remnant of
the ferry cable on the river bank
near the family home.
The island remained a popular
spot for fishing and picnics.
Intheolddays, everyonehada

Conyngham Township resident Frank Evina has been researching the history of Macks Island near
his family homestead in the Mocanaqua section. A1923 ferry boat accident that led to two drown-
ings ended farming on the island.
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.
Wintermoot Island in the Susquehanna River was purchased by a group of friends for hunting and
fishing. The 37.37-acre plot falls in three municipalities: Pittston city, Exeter borough and Jenkins
Township.
Monocanock Island in the Susquehanna River. Relatives purchased the 45-acre island for hunting. It
harbored Patriots fleeing for their lives in the bloody Battle of Wyoming.

Editorial
They dont live long if theyre not
good.

The former NASA flight surgeon, who heads a
medical team for Fearless Felix Baumgartner,
described the risks being taken by the high-altitude
skydiver who aims later this year to jump from 23 miles up and break

THE ISSUE of closing the
much-maligned Delaware
loophole in Pennsylvania
has made quite a few head-
lines in recent weeks.
But dont be fooled by
claims that a new bill,
backed by the Republican majority in the
state House, would finally close the Dela-
ware loophole.
It wont.
That bill, introduced in January by state
Rep. Dave Reed, R-Indiana, has been hailed
as a way to close the Delaware loophole.
Unfortunately, his bill falls far short of that
goal.
Under current tax law, multistate corpora-
tions avoid paying Pennsylvanias corporate
net income tax by setting up shell compa-
nies in Delaware to hold copyrights, patents
and trademarks. Multistate corporations
that do business in Pennsylvania pay the
shell company to use the copyrights, patents
and trademarks, reducing their taxable in-
come here.
Companies often use Delaware because it
does not tax royalty income.
The Reed bill still would allow companies
to deduct expenses for trademarks, copy-
rights and patents by simply claiming it is
for a legitimate business purpose.
Other states with similar legislation re-
quire the companies to demonstrate why
these deductions are legitimate, but the
Reed bill would put the burden of proof on
the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue to
prove they are not valid. The bill presumes
that any of these transactions done at mar-
ket prices is legitimate.
The Reed bill also would allow multistate
corporations to claim a credit for taxes paid
in other states and deduct those expenses in
Pennsylvania. And it would allow companies
to shift income out of state by deducting
interest on loans from related companies
another tax avoidance strategy used by
corporations.
In short, the Reed bill is one big tax loop-
hole dressed up to look like a fix to another
tax loophole. Its smoke and mirrors, and it
doesnt come close to delivering real tax
fairness to Pennsylvania.
In contrast to the Reed bill, a bill I in-
troduced last year would close the Delaware
loophole, as well as a wide array of other
loopholes that allow corporations to dodge
paying their fair share of taxes in Pennsylva-
nia.
My bill, H.B.1396, is widely considered to
be the most comprehensive approach to
solving the corporate loophole problem. It
would require corporations and their subsid-
iaries to jointly file one tax report and pay
taxes according to the amount of business
activity conducted in Pennsylvania. Twenty-
three other states have enacted combined
reporting legislation.
Unfortunately, its clear that Gov. Tom
Corbett and the Republican leadership in
the state House and Senate have no desire
to pursue this comprehensive approach.
Recognizing that political reality, I will
introduce another bill that takes a similar
approach to the Reed bill.
But my bill will do it right requiring
corporations to add back expenses from the
use of patents, trademarks and copyrights
and interest expenses to their taxable in-
come; set a higher standard for allowing
these deductions; and place the burden of
proof on the companies to show their deduc-
tions are valid.
This is a basic matter of tax fairness.
Pennsylvania businesses and taxpayers are
the ones left holding the bag when multis-
tate corporations are allowed to shirk their
tax obligations.
More than 70 percent of businesses in
Pennsylvania pay zero state income taxes,
largely through the use of tax loopholes.
While those multistate corporations get a
free ride, Pennsylvanias small businesses
are stuck shouldering a greater share of the
tax burden.
In the spirit of tax fairness, my bill would
reduce the corporate net income tax to 6.99
percent from 9.99 percent a 30 percent cut
over six years starting in 2014.
We need to close corporate loopholes, but
we need to get the job done right so all
corporations pay their fair share.
Because, when everybody pays their fair
share, everybody wins.

COMMENTARY
S T A T E R E P . P H Y L L I S

T IS NOW more than two
weeks sincethefirst round
of the Iranian parliamen-
tary elections took place
and it remains unclear when
the second round of voting will
occur for the runoff election in
the 65 constituencies where
there were no clear winners.
The vagueness of the electo-
ral process is, however, nothing
to do with any incompetence
by the authorities. It is instead
part of a deliberate fog that has
been blown over the whole ex-
ercise, to disguise both a rising
conflict within the countrys
leadership and the continuing
suppression of any genuine op-
position voices.
The whole Iranian political
establishment was seriously
shaken by the massive popular
demonstrations of the Green
Movement, triggered by the
blatantly fixed 2009 presiden-
tial election. This threat to
their 30 years of power was
crushed ruthlessly and leading
reformists imprisoned or si-
lenced.
As a result of this shock, it
might have been thought that
supreme leader Ayatollah Ali
Khamenei and second-term
President Mahmoud Ahmadi-
nejad would have worked to-
gether to address the long re-
cord of economic failure that
has caused so much anger and
despair among ordinary Ira-
nians. Instead, a widening rift
between the two men has para-
lyzed what little economic re-
form effort there has been.
Both men, for instance, re-
mained welded to Irans nucle-
ar program, each vying with
the other to lead on the issue.
Irans leadershipis embarked
upon a highly dangerous
course. Tragically, because of
the phony electoral system,
there is absolutely nothing that
its voters can do about it.

MALLARD FILLMORE DOONESBURY: FLASHBACK
Front-line opposition to
defense cuts and changes
R
ecently, President Barack Obama and
Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta
announced proposed restructuring and
cuts by the U.S. Air Force to the Air Na-
tional Guard.
Gov. Tom Corbett and I are deeply con-
cerned with the proposed cuts to our Penn-
sylvania Air National Guards 171st Air
Refueling Wing in Pittsburgh and the
258th Air Traffic Control Squadron in
Johnstown, and on a much grander scale,
to the Air National Guard nationwide and
its effect on homeland security.
Over the past decade, the National
Guard has evolved into an extremely cost-
effective operational force that is critical to
our national security and our ability to
respond to domestic emergencies. The Air
National Guard provides 35 percent of the
U.S. Air Force capability, for only 6 percent
of the budget. To say the National Guard is
cost effective is a gross understatement.
While we appreciate the need to reorga-
nize, restructure and modernize the mil-
itary to meet new threats and economic
realities, we must heed the need for cost-
effective means of achieving these goals.
Given these realities, proposing that the
Air National Guard absorb 59 percent of
the total aircraft budget reductions and
approximately six times the personnel
reductions is nonsensical, inefficient and
imprudent.
Simply stated, the National Guard is the
only military component that can serve the
president and our governors, and is under-
written by shared state-federal cost ar-
rangements. Because of that, we are
uniquely positioned to respond to state
and local emergencies and bring to bear
the forces needed to defend and secure our
homeland.
The proposed Air Force cuts affect many
states, and congressional delegations
across the country are gearing up for a
fight. Be assured, Gov. Corbett and I will
stand on the front line to fight for Penn-
sylvania.

The building first opened as a
bank in 1912, and at different
times in its history was home to a
Moose Lodge and a district ma-
gistrates office. It was unoccu-
pied and in foreclosure when
Johnson purchased it in Decem-
ber 2004, onedaybeforeit was set
to go to tax sale.
Since then Johnson has spent
more than $2 million renovating
the building; most of it his own
savings, beginning work about
two years ago. And hes done so
largelywithout government help.
Its been a struggle and more
than it had to be, Johnson said.
I never got any handouts.
Johnson has preserved the
buildings fascia and some origi-
nal architectural detailsinsidethe
building, including the original
staircases and exposed brick
walls andskylights insome units,
but he has also outfitted them
with modern fixtures and high-
endfinishes.
The 14 two-bedroom and two
one-bedroom apartments range
in size from 800 to 1,000 square
feet. Each features ceilings at
least 9 feet in height, large win-
dows, full-size stainless steel ap-
pliances including dishwashers,
in-roomwashers anddriers, inter-
com and security camera entry
systems, stone countertops and
backsplashes, hardwood floors,
carpeted bedrooms and tiled
bathrooms. Eachalsocomes with
one parking space, with more
spaces available for rent.
Theapartmentswill rent forbe-
tween $785 and $1,085 per
month. Utilities are not included,
but Johnson said the buildings

windows and other green ameni-
ties shouldkeepelectric bills low.
Johnsonsaidhe is close torent-

Eventually he would like to sell
the units as condos, and plans to
add an elevator and canopied en-
tryway to the four-story building
once the market picks up.
He is alsorenovatingthe 5,000-
square-foot first floor of the build-
ing into a bar and restaurant, and
haspurchasedaliquorlicense. He
hopes to see a restaurant open in
the space within a year, but has
not decidedwhether he will oper-
ate it himself or rent it to another
restaurateur.
Johnson said he hopes the
building will become an anchor
that brings newbusinesses to the
surrounding area.
I feel that this will help com-
plete this block, and make this
block a part of the downtown,
Johnsonsaid.
Apartments inside the renovated bank at South Main Street and Ross Street feature in-unit washer/

The panel then welcomed ques-
tions from attendees of the event.
WOMEN
short his trip so he could head to Illinois
and Santorum spent Sunday in Louisia-
na. Illinois, a more moderate Midwest-
ern state, votes Tuesday and is seen as
more friendly territory for Romney,
while Santorum is the favorite in the
more conservative Southern state of
Louisiana, which votes Saturday.
After the Puerto Rico victory, Rom-
ney had 521 delegates in his camp and
Santorumhad 253, according to The As-
sociated Press tally. Former House
Speaker Newt Gingrich trailed with 136
delegates and Texas Rep. Ron Paul had
50.
Enrique Melendez, the Republican
representative on the Puerto Rican
State Electoral Commission, told the
AP that Romney won the Puerto Rican
primary by a huge margin and we are
granting him the 20 delegates.
At this rate, Romney is on pace to
capture the nomination in June unless
Santorum or Gingrich is able to win de-
cisively in the coming contests.
Both have said they would stay in the
race and perhaps force the nomination
to a fight at the GOPs convention in
Tampa if Romney doesnt amass enough
delegates to arrive with a mandate.
That would turn the convention into an
intra-party brawl for the first time since
1976.
Even as Santorum declined to com-
mit to forcing a brokered convention,
his advisers were working behind the
scenes on a plan to persuade convention
delegates to switch candidates if the for-
mer Pennsylvania senator fails to derail
Romney before that.
Romneys aides call this a fantasy sce-
nario even as they try to prevent dele-
gates from defecting.
Half of the states have yet to weigh in
on a race with seemingly no end in sight
anytime soon. Thats prompted fresh
speculation within the GOP over wheth-
er a contested convention is likely.
Republican National Chairman Rein-
ce Priebus insisted that party will have a
nominee sooner rather than later.
Were only at halftime, Priebus said.
I think that this process is going to play
itself out. We will have a nominee, I
think, fairly soon one, two months
away.
In Puerto Rico, the race was focused
on the issue of statehood, and Melendez
said, This proves Gov. Romneys electa-
bility and his ability to reach out to His-
panics and minorities.
Whether thats true or not, Romney
told Puerto Ricans he would support
statehood while Santorum said English
would have to be the official language of
the island if it were to join the United
States a statement that roiled resi-
dents.
In Puerto Rico, we get along fine
with both languages, said Francisco Ro-
driguez, a 76-year-old architect who sup-
ported Romney and hopes Puerto Rico
becomes the nations 51st state.
Even as Puerto Rico voted, Romney
and Santorum traded barbs from afar.
Sen. Santorum has the same eco-
nomic lightweight background the pres-
ident has, Romney told a crowd in Mo-
line, Ill. He went a step further in Rock-
ford, Ill., saying, Were not going to re-
place an economic lightweight with
another economic lightweight.
That drew a Santorum retort: If Mitt
Romneys an economic heavyweight,
were in trouble.
Aside from a pair of TV interviews,
Santorum spent the day visiting a pair
of churches in Louisiana, sharing how
his faith has shaped his political career
and his opposition to abortion rights
and gay marriage. He didnt mention
Romney or any of his other Republican
opponents during talks at both church-
es.
He made clear he didnt plan to exit
the race anytime soon, saying in Bossier
City, La., One of the great blessings Ive
had in every political campaign is peo-
ple underestimate me, people underesti-
mate what God can do.
Yet, he was curt when asked about his
odds in Illinois.
Keep working, Santorum said after
services there. Thats all we can do.
Santorum spoke with CNNs State of
the Union and ABCs This Week.
Romney appeared on Fox News Sun-
day, and Priebus was interviewed on
CBS Face the Nation.

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) Xa-
vier is making a habit of reaching the
round of 16.
Senior center Kenny Frease scored a
career-high 25 points to go with 12 re-
bounds and the Musketeers knocked
off upset-minded Lehigh 70-58 Sunday
night to advance to the regional semi-
finals of the NCAAtournament for the
fourth time in five years.
Lehigh, which stunned No. 2 seed
Duke on Friday, was looking to be-
come the first 15 seed to make it to the
tournaments second weekend. But
the 7-foot Frease stood in the way.
He dominatedinthe paint, hitting11
of 13 shots, and Tu Holloway was his
normal productive self with 21 points
as 10th-seeded Xavier (22-12) moved
on to play No. 3 seed Baylor on Friday
in the South Regional at Atlanta.
The Musketeers held C.J. McCol-
lum, the nations fifth-leading scorer,
to 14 points on 5-of-22 shooting and
overcame a 15-point first-half deficit.
Mackey McKnight had 20 points for
Lehigh (27-7), which tied a Patriot
League record for wins in a season.
The Musketeers won despite play-
ing most of the game without their
third-leading scorer, Dezmine Wells.
He injured his right ankle in the first
half and did not return.
The Mountain Hawks started
strong, opening a 35-20 lead behind 53
percent shooting and 14 first-half
points from McKnight. Xavier clawed
backtocut theleadto37-33at halftime
behind a 3-point buzzer-beater by Hol-
loway.
The Mountain Hawks went more
than 7 minutes without a field goal to
start the second half missing their
first 10 shots from the field and the
Musketeers took advantage by going
on a 14-3 spurt to take a 47-40 lead.
The Mountain Hawks fought back
again, however, tying the game at 52.
Thats whenXavier took over for good,
closing with an 18-6 run.
Holloway, who hadto change his jer-
sey number in the second half from52
to 24 after getting blood on it, led the
charge. He hit a 3-pointer with 6:58 re-
maining to give the Musketeers a 55-
52 lead they never relinquished.
Holloway scored 15 of his 21 points
in the second half. That came two
nights after he scored17 of his 25 after
halftime in a win over Notre Dame.
Lehigh simply couldnt make a shot
in the second half, going more than 6
minutes down the stretch without a
basket. The Mountain Hawks shot 5 of
34 (14.7 percent) from the field in the
second half.

GOLF
Donald wins, is No. 1
PALM HARBOR, Fla. Luke Do-
nald returned to No. 1 in the world the
same way he got there the first time.
Donald rallied from a three-shot
deficit Sunday with a 5-under 66 to get
into a four-man playoff at the Transi-
tions Championship. He won on the
first extra hole with a 6-foot birdie putt
that curled in the left side.
Donald ends the two-week reign of
Rory McIlroy at No. 1.
He first got to top of the world rank-
ing last May by winning a playoff over
Lee Westwood at Wentworth. This
time, he had to beat Jim Furyk, Robert
Garrigus and Bae Sang-Moon.
Ernie Els, needing a win to get into
the Masters, missed a 4-foot par putt
on the 18th in regulation to finish one
shot out of the playoff.

Muamba remains critical
LONDON Bolton player Fabrice
Muamba was still fighting for his life in
intensive care on Sunday night, re-
maining in critical condition a day after
collapsing during a match because of a
cardiac arrest.
The 23-year-old midfielders heart
only started beating on its own when
he arrived at a London hospital on
Saturday night from Tottenhams
ground, medics said, after having fallen
face down on the turf just before half-
time.
God is in control, the footballers
fiancee Shauna Magunda wrote on her
Twitter account. Please keep praying
for fmuamba its really helping I can
feel it.
Amid an outpouring of global con-
cern for Muambas health from FIFA
executives to players at rival clubs
members of the Bolton management
team, relatives and friends visited him
at London Chest Hospital.
About 24 hours after Muambas col-
lapse was screened live to a worldwide
television audience, Bolton said he
remained anesthetized, adding that no
further statements would be provided
until Monday.

tory.

Smith concludes visit
MIAMI Even in the offseason, the
Miami Dolphins quarterback carousel
keeps spinning.
After being spurned by Peyton Man-
ning, the Dolphins had a brief, unpro-
ductive courtship with Matt Flynn,
then turned their attention Sunday to
Alex Smith, the San Francisco 49ers
free agent.
Smith left the Miami complex after a
5 1/2-hour meeting. Dolphins officials
declined to comment on any details
about this visit.
However, the visit could affect the
Manning sweepstakes, because the
49ers are among three finalists for the
four-time NFL MVP, along with the
Denver Broncos and Tennessee Titans.

winning the Transitions in a playoff
Sunday in Palm Harbor, Fla.
BRISTOL, Tenn. Brad Keselowski
used Bristol Motor Speedway last fall
to cement his spot in NASCARs cham-
pionship race.
Back at the track Sunday, Keselowski
again made his way to Victory Lane.
And he again began to think about a
Sprint Cup title.
Keselowski led a career-best and
race-high 231 laps, then held off Dayto-
na 500 winner Matt Kenseth on a late
restart to cruise to his first victory of
the season.
What can I say? I love Bristol and
Bristol loves me, said Keselowski,
who immediately began taking pic-
tures in Victory Lane to send to Twit-
ter.
The goal at Penske Racing is to win
a Sprint Cup championship, and one
win certainly doesnt achieve that, but
its a great step.
The Chase for the
Sprint Cup champion-
ship has a wild-card
provisional for the
winningest driver not
otherwise eligible.
Keselowskis win at
Bristol last August
was his third of the
season and gave him the provisional
that allowed him to race for the title.
Now, just a month into the season,
hes focused on collecting victories.
One win is good; two wins is really
good, Keselowski said. We need to
keep winning races to lock ourselves in
the Chase, but heck, Id rather just go
into the Chase in the top spot. If we run
like we have the last few weeks, weve
got as good a shot as anybody else.
Keselowski narrowly escaped an
early seven-car accident, worked his
way toward the front, then settled in
for a tight battle with Kenseth over the
final third of the race. Kenseth beat Ke-
selowski on one of their restarts fans
complained instantly on Twitter that
Kenseth had jumped the start and
Keselowski had to run him back down
to reclaim the lead.
But a late caution when Tony Stew-
art hit the wall put Keselowskis win in
jeopardy.
Ive got no clue what to do here, he
radioed crew chief Paul Wolfe, who de-
cided to leave Keselowski on the track
and not bring him in to the pits under
caution.
Then Keselowski had to decide
which lane to choose for the final res-
tart, and his decision to take the out-
side may have sealed the win.
I knew as long as I could beat him
on the first lap, I knew I had a good
enough car and Ima good enough driv-
er to win, Keselowski said. Matt
didnt make it easy. Thats his job, to
not make it easy on me. He raced me
hard; I raced him hard, rubbed a little
bit. Thats good racing.
Kenseth settled for second in his
Roush Fenway Racing Ford.
He should have started on the bot-
tom, for me; unfortunately he didnt,
said Kenseth, who also denied jumping
the earlier restart.
I knew it was close, but here is the
thing: When you get to the second line,
they say that the race is on. I knew we
took off a little early. ... I am waiting for
him. ... I didnt even floor it until we got
to the start-finish line. I dont know if
he was trying to let me beat him on
purpose or what was going on.
Keselowski said judging the restarts
was too subjective and that a no-call
by NASCAR was the right call.
The three Toyotas from Michael Wal-
trip Racing capped an impressive day
by rounding out the top five a feat
that marked a strong return to racing
for Brian Vickers.

Heat beat the Orlando Magic
91-81 on Sunday night to ex-
tend their home winning streak
to 13 games.
LeBron James finished with
14 points, 12 rebounds, seven
assists and five steals for the
Heat. His pass with 3:46 left
made it past two Magic defend-
ers and set up Bosh for perhaps
the clincher, a three-point play
that stretched Miamis lead to
84-73.
And with the way Miami was
playing defense, that was
enough: Orlando scored 12
points in a span of nearly 16
minutes in the second half.
Dwight Howard finished
with 18 points and 11 rebounds
for Orlando. Quentin Richard-
son was 5 for 7 on 3-pointers
for a 15-point night for the
Magic, who split four games
with Miami this season, both
teams going 2-0 at home.

SACRAMENTO, Calif.
Marcus Thornton scored 24
points and Sacramento used a
strong second half to beat
slumping Minnesota.
The Kings were tied at half-
time, but gained the lead for
good by outscoring Minnesota

eight-point lead after three
quarters and the Timberwolves
trailed by double digits for
much of the fourth.

Lawyers step to plate in
Madoff-Mets contest
NEW YORK The New York Mets
owners are stepping to the plate to try
to convince a jury that they didnt know
financier Bernard Madoff was operating
a Ponzi scheme.
A jury in federal court in Manhattan
will hear Mets owners testify about
their relationship with Madoff. He is
serving a 150-year prison sentence
after admitting in 2008 that his
investment business was a sham. He
lost about $20 billion for investors.
A trustee recovering money for
thousands of investors sued the Mets
owners for $1 billion, saying their
friendship with Madoff helped them
profit from his fraud. A judge presiding
over the case has already ordered the
owners to pay up to $83 million. The
trial getting under way Monday will
determine if they owe up to $303
million more.

COLUMBUS, Ohio Dray-
mond Green grabbed a mop in
the final minute and helped
sweep sweat off the floor.
Moments later, Michigan
State finally brushed aside Saint
Louis.
Green scored 16 points with
13 rebounds and set up Keith
Applings crucial 3-pointer with
1:34 left, giving the top-seeded
Spartans a 65-61 win over Saint
Louis on Sunday and a spot in
the round of 16 in the NCAA
tournament.
Michigan State will play No. 4
seed Louisville in the West
Regional semifinals Thursday in
Phoenix.
Appling added 19 points for
the Spartans (29-7), who had to
scrap their way past the ninth-
seeded Billikens (26-8). Saint
Louis controlled the tempo but
never got a complete handle on
Green, Michigan States superb
senior, who added six assists.
Kwamain Mitchell scored 13
and Brian Conklin 11 for Saint
Louis, back in the tournament
for the first time since 2000.
This wasnt easy for the Spar-
tans, and really, nothing has
been this season.
Saint Louis, executing coach
Rick Majerus game plan to
muck it up to perfection, was
still within 55-51 when Green
drove the left side and rifled a
two-handed overhead pass to
Appling in front of Michigan
States bench. The Spartans
guard took aim, fired and had
his 3-pointer drop, but only after
it hit both sides of the rim and
backboard before falling.
Applings two free throws
gave Michigan State a 63-55
lead, but the Billikens werent
going to let their season end
without a fight.
Cody Ellis and Mike McCall
Jr. made 3-pointers in the final
30 seconds for Saint Louis and
Michigan States victory wasnt
assured until Mitchells 3 with 3
seconds left was short.
As the horn sounded, Green,
who had a triple-double Friday
against LIU Brooklyn, raised his
arms and hugged teammate
Brandon Wood tightly as Maje-
rus congratulated Michigan
State coach Tom Izzo in front of
the scorers table.
There was no excessive cele-
brating for the Spartans, who
have much bigger goals in mind.
Michigan State became the
fourth Big Ten team to reach
the regional semifinals, joining
Ohio State, Indiana and Wiscon-
sin.
After Michigan State lost its
first two games this season to
North Carolina and Duke, there
were some who wondered if this
Spartans squad would recover
and live up to its high standards.
Theres no debate anymore.
Michigan State can win with
any style you choose.
Florida 84, Norfolk St. 50
OMAHA, Neb. Kenny
Boynton scored 20 points to
lead five Florida players in dou-
ble figures, and the Gators rout-
ed 15th-seeded Norfolk State to
reach the regional semifinals of
the NCAA tournament for the
second straight year.
The Gators (25-10) made five
3-pointers during a 25-0 run that
put them up 29-6 midway
through the first half. They will
play No. 3 seed Marquette on
Thursday in Phoenix after their
second straight runaway win.
Erving Walker scored 15
points, Bradley Beal 14, Mike

for Florida.

points and 13 rebounds for the

Midwest Regional semifinals.
Purdue was clinging to a
60-59 lead and had the ball and
under a minute remaining when
Lewis Jackson, the shot clock
winding down, lost control at
the top of the key. Johnson
picked it up and went the other
way for the go-ahead layup with
23.3 seconds left.
Hummel missed an open
3-pointer at the other end and
Tyshawn Taylor scored a transi-
tion dunk for Kansas with 2.5

Purdue sharpshooter Ryne
Smith unloaded a long potential
tying 3-point try that hit the

GREENSBORO, N.C. John
Henson proved he was healthy
again, grabbing rebounds and
blocking shots in his return from
a wrist injury that seemed per-
fectly timed for North Carolinas
latest push for the Final Four.
Now Kendall Marshall has his
own wrist injury that could
prove devastating for the Tar
Heels.
Henson had a double-double
in his first game back from a
sprained left wrist, and North
Carolina beat Creighton in the
third round of the NCAA tourna-
ment. But Marshall broke a
bone in his right wrist when he
was fouled on a drive to the
basket and knocked to the floor
midway through the second
half.
Coach Roy Williams con-
firmed the injury after the game,
and said he would talk to Mar-
shall and his parents about his
status Sunday night. The point
guard still finished with 18
points and 11 assists.
When you go to the Sweet
16, its supposed to be a lot more
fun than this, an emotional
Williams said afterward.
Marshalls injury overshad-
owed what should have been an
exciting win for the Tar Heels
(31-5), the No. 1 seed in the
Midwest Regional. They built a
15-point lead in the first half,
then kept control and pushed
the margin to 19 after the break
on the way to their second
straight double-digit victory.
Their defense was good enough
to slow the eighth-seeded Blue-
jays offense and make high-
scoring forward Doug McDer-
mott work for his points.
Then there was Hensons
return after missing the past
three games with the wrist
injury from last weeks Atlantic
Coast Conference tournament.
Instead, the Tar Heels are
unsure whether theyll have
their most irreplaceable player
the guy who drives Williams
fast-paced attack with unparal-
leled court vision and perfect
pitch-aheads in transition for
the rest of the tournament.
I just want to be here for my
team, said Marshall, his eyes
red with emotion. It is what it
is. Were not saying that Im not
going to play. Were not saying
that Im going to play. Bottom
line, its a fracture and now I
have to deal with it.

their second trip to the regional
semifinals.
Ohio trailed by two when
Offutt swished a 3-pointer,
launching a 10-0 run for the
Bobcats. A pair of free throws by
Cooper made it 54-46 with 3:28
left.
The Bobcats had a 59-53 lead
when Toarlyn Fitzpatrick con-
nected for South Floridas first
3-pointer of the half. But Cooper
went 3 for 4 from the line while
the Bulls missed three shots in
the final 36 seconds. Victor
Rudd Jr. and Anthony Collins
both scored 13 points for the
Bulls (22-14).

and in1983 on Lorenzo Charles
dramatic last-second putback of
Dereck Whittenburgs wild
shot, leading to coach Valvanos
memorable celebration.
But maybe the new Wolfpack
have turned a corner.
We always talkabout howwe
have such a great history at NC
State, Gottfried said. But its
also time to build some newhis-
tory.
C.J. Williams, Scott Woodand
C.J. Leslie each had 14 points,
and Brown added 12 for the
Wolfpack, who earned their first
trip to the round of 16 since
2005.
The Wolfpacks defense
spurred a 12-0 first-half run that
included seven points by Wil-
liams and helped turn an eight-
point deficit into a three-point
halftime lead.
Theypushedthe advantage to
11 in the second half before Ge-
orgetown (24-9), despite deep
foul trouble for center and top
assist man Henry Sims, came
clawing back.
The Hoyas, riding the shoot-
ing of Hollis Thompson, who
had 23 points, drew to 63-61 be-
fore freshman Otto Porter mis-
sed a 15-foot jumper under pres-
sure with 14 seconds left.
Brown, a 74-percent shooter
at the line, made two foul shots
with10.6 seconds left for a 65-61
lead. Clark, who finished with
10 points, then went the length
of the court for a layup before
Brownwas fouledagainwith4.6
seconds left. He hit the first but
missed the second, and the
Hoyas raced down court for a
potential tying 3.
They got a great look, with
Clark, defended by Williams,
stopping and getting off a
rushedshot that was wide of the
mark.
I was just praying it wasnt
going in, Williams said. And it
didnt.
It set off a wild celebration
among the Wolfpack players.
Three teammates hefted Brown
to their shoulders and carried
him across the floor, while
guard Alex Johnson popped his
jersey and yelled to the roaring
North Carolina State faithful,
We back baby! Were going to
the Sweet 16!
It was another bitter disap-
pointment for Georgetown, also
a legendary program trying to
reclaim a glowing legacy. The
Hoyas were knockedout intheir
first game in each of the previ-
ous two NCAA tournaments,
and the players said they had fi-
nally shed the stigma of those
defeats witha 74-59victory over
Belmont on Friday.
They also had put aside a
strange year that began with the
teamattacked by the crowd and
opposing players in an exhibi-
tion game in China.
This team, in spite of what-
ever downs wevehadandlosses
like today, has been a really spe-
cial group, coach John Thomp-
son III said.
This continues to be a special
year for the Wolfpack, a team
that no one thought would be
dancing this late in the year.
Well, almost no one.
One of the first things I said
to coach Gottfried when I met
him, I said, I dont want this to
be a rebuildingyear. I dont want
to just play to get better. I think
wevegot thetalent andthepiec-
es that we could be a dominant
team, Wood said.
Brown couldnt wipe the
smile off his face after the game.
You never know what to ex-
pect in this tournament, he
said, sounding far more sage
than a sophomore should. Alot
of great teams went down a cou-
ple of days ago. And were just
out here playing our best. And
Coach is a believer in us and we
believe in ourselves.

So much for the little guys.
Instead of parlaying an histor-
ic day of upsets into a second
weekend filled with small
schools, the NCAA tournament
now looks like a whos-who of
major college programs.
All but two of the 16 teams in
the regional semifinals will be
from power conferences. The
lone exceptions are Xa vier,
whichis hardlya stranger tothis
kind of run, and Ohio Universi-
ty, a big school with a small, but
no longer unknown, basketball
program.
According to STATS, this will
be the first time since 2003 that
14 teams fromthe six major con-
ferences have made the Sweet
16.
Among next weeks match-
ups:
No. 1Kentucky vs. No. 4 In-
diana andNo. 3Baylor vs. No. 10
Xavier in the South; No. 1 Syra-
cuse vs. No. 4 Wisconsin in the
East; No. 1 North Carolina vs.
No. 13OhioandNo. 2Kansas vs.
No. 11 North Carolina State in
the Midwest; and No. 1 Michi-
gan State vs. No. 4 Louisville
and No. 3 Marquette vs. No. 7
Florida out West.
Take the two mid-majors out
of that mix and youre talking a
combined 87 Final Four appear-
ances and 31 national titles.
While two No. 2 seeds, Duke
and Missouri, fell to 15s Lehigh
and Norfolk State on a history-
making second round Friday, all
four No. 1s got through the first
week safely the first time
thats happened since 2009. A
year before that, all four top-
seeded teams made it to the Fi-
nal Four for the only time.
Could happen again this year,
though Carolina will have to
overcomeaninjurytoa keyplay-
er to get there.
The Tar Heels defeated
Creighton 87-73, but point
guard Kendall Marshall broke
his right (non-shooting) wrist.
Youcanaskany questionyou
want, but I just told you all we
know, Tar Heels coachRoy Wil-
liams saidwhenannouncingthe

thing else.

Ciravolo won the female divi-
sion easily, finishing fifth-overall
in 26:35. The 32-year-old from
Shavertown -- the areas top fe-
male triathlete -- outdistanced
second-place finisher Deedra
Porfirio, 35, of West Pittston, by
1:36. Monica Obsitos, 24, of
Wilkes-Barre also a standout
triathlete finished third in
29:29.
I wanted to break 27 min-
utes, said Ciravolo. And I fin-
ished in 26:35. So I beat my goal.
I was happy with my perform-
ance.
Ciravolos win was her second
in wire-to-wire fashion this sea-
son. Her other wire-to-wire vic-
tory was at the Bear Creek5Kon
March 3.
Ciravolo used the same strate-
gy at Penn State Wilkes-Barre
that she used at Bear Creek.
I didnt want togoout toofast
at the start, she said. I wanted
tosave my energy for the hills on
the way back. And thats what I
did. And it worked.
Ciravolo had about a 100-yard
lead when she and Porfirio reac-
hed the turnaround area.
Shes just too good, said Por-
firio. When I see her at the
races, I just tell myself Im run-
ning for second place.

AMANDA HRYCYNA/ FOR TIMES LEADER
Runners take off during the Wyoming Valley Striders 32nd annual Winters End Run held at the
Penn State Wilkes-Barre Sunday morning.
RUN
the first period, allowing the
Senators to score twice while
spending the majority of the
time in the offensive zone.
Motivated or not, it wasnt
the start that the Penguins
wanted.
We tested the waters and
they shoved it down our
throat, Hynes said. We have
a tremendous amount of re-
spect for them and if you dont
come to play theyll beat you.
The Penguins came to play
in the second period, led by a
pair of goals from Ben Street.
With the Penguins on a pow-
er play in the opening stages
of the second period, Street
snuck into the crease to put
home a rebound from a Ryan
Craig shot to make it 2-1.
Street evened things up 2-2
minutes later when he fired a
wrister from inside the faceoff
circle that went over Bingham-
ton goaltender Robin Lehner.
The goal was Streets team-
leading 25th of the season.
The guys did a very nice
job of regrouping, Hynes said.
The Penguins spent a ton of
time in the Binghamton end
during the third period, but
failed to get anything past
Lehner until Walker connected
at 12:28.
Skating on a line with Street
and Nick Petersen, the trio
buzzed around the Bingham-
ton net and kept the puck in
the offensive zone for an eter-
nity. With traffic in front, Brian
Strait sent a shot in from the
top of the slot and a rebound
squirted out to Walker.
I knew I had to get it up
and I was able to get it over
Lehners glove, Walker said.
The goal broke a 10-game
drought for Walker and was
his second game-winner of the
season.
Hynes said the Penguins
time in the offensive zone was
a key factor with the goal and
their overall play in the third
period.
Thats really the type of
hockey we want to play, he
said. Get in the offensive zone
and stay there. That was the
difference in the third period.
Munroe stopped all 14 Bing-
hamton shots in the second
and third period to improve to
17-6-3 on the season and earn
his 100th career win. The mile-
stone was something he was
aware of at the start of the
season, but forgot about it un-
til recently.
It was within reach and it
was a goal of mine, but at the
start of the year I wasnt sure if
Id get enough starts, Munroe
said. It did sneak up a little
bit, and a couple of games ago
I was like I can get this.
NOTES
After posting a record of
3-5 last season against the Sen-
ators, the Penguins are 7-1-1
this year.
D Joey Mormina (illness),
D Carl Sneep (injury upper
body), C Jason Williams (per-
sonal reasons) and LW Steve
MacIntyre (suspension) were
scratched for the Penguins.

PHILADELPHIA Scott
Hartnell scored his second goal
of the game with less than 1
second left in overtime to lift
the Philadelphia Flyers to a 3-2
win over the Penguins on Sun-
day, snapping Pittsburghs 11-
game winning streak.
Hartnell took a nice cross-ice
feed from Danny Briere to beat
Marc-Andre Fleury with 0.9
seconds left on the clock.
Kimmo Timonen also scored
to help the Flyers rally from a
2-0 hole against the hottest
team in the NHL.
Evgeni Malkin and Craig
Adams each scored for the
Penguins. Sidney Crosby played
in the third game of his come-
back following a three-month
absence caused by recurring
concussion symptoms.
The Penguins lost for the
first time since Feb. 19.
Hartnell and Timonen scored
goals in the third period to
rally against a weary Pittsburgh
team playing their third road
game in four days.
The Penguins lost their
chance to move into a tie with
the slumping New York Rang-
ers for first place in the Eastern
Conference. One day after los-
ing a shootout in Boston, the
Flyers moved two points be-
hind Pittsburgh and three be-
hind the Rangers.
Because of penalties, the
overtime began with some
3-on-3 hockey. Hartnell ended
it with his 35th goal and an
even rarer feat a Penguins
loss.
There was a playoff atmo-
sphere from the start of the
nationally televised game
the first of three between the
rivals at the tail end of the
regular season. Hartnell and
Chris Kunitz traded blows as
part of a multi-player melee in
the third, a sign of rising ten-
sions as the postseason nears.
Blackhawks 5, Capitals 2
CHICAGO Rookie Andrew
Shaw recorded his first two-
goal game, and the Chicago
Blackhawks defeated the Wash-
ington Capitals for their third
straight win.
Viktor Stalberg, Patrick Kane
and Bryan Bickell also scored
for Chicago, which is 7-1-1 in
its last nine despite playing
without captain and leading
goals scorer Jonathan Toews.
Mike Knuble and Alex
Ovechkin scored for Washing-
ton, which lost its second
straight following a four-game
winning streak.
Predators 3, Ducks 1
ANAHEIM, Calif. Patric
Hornqvist, Mike Fisher and
David Legwand scored third-
period goals and the Nashville
Predators completed a four-
game season series sweep of
the Anaheim Ducks with a
victory.
Anders Lindback made 30
saves in his eighth start this
season for the Predators while
Pekka Rinne got the night off.
Lindback, the tallest goalie in
the NHL at 6-foot-6, had lost
his previous five starts since
Nov. 28, when he faced only 18
shots in a 2-1 win at Edmon-
ton. Legwand scored a power-
play goal into an empty net
with 16.5 seconds left after a
hooking penalty against Bobby
Ryan.
Coyotes 3, Oilers 2
EDMONTON, Alberta
Ray Whitney scored in the
third period and added the
shootout winner as the Phoenix
Coyotes bounced back from a
two-goal deficit to defeat the
Edmonton Oilers.
Raffi Torres also scored for
the Coyotes, who passed Los
Angeles and San Jose to take
over the eighth and final play-
off spot in the Western Confer-
ence.
Phoenix coach Dave Tippett
also earned his 400th career
victory with the win. Jordan
Eberle and Ales Hemsky scored
for the Oilers, who had a two-
game winning streak snapped.

tures are in the
forecast for this
week along with
a few spring
showers. We will
start off today

cloudy skies and
have scattered
showers
throughout the
day. We could
have a thunder-
stormin the
afternoon. On
Tuesday, it will
be partly cloudy
with a passing
shower.
Wednesday will
be very nice with
a high of 73 and
plenty of sun-
shine. Thursday
will go from
partly to mostly
cloudy with rain
late in the day.
Friday looks like
it will be partly
cloudy. We will
watch a front
move through
toward the
weekend, lower-
ing our tempera-
tures a little bit.
Saturday will be
partly cloudy
with late rain.
- Michelle Rotella
NATIONAL FORECAST: A surface front and an upper-level trough of low pressure will combine with
unseasonably warm, moist air to trigger numerous showers and thunderstorms from the central and
southern Plains into the Mississippi Valley today. Some of these storms may be strong to severe.
Meanwhile, rain and snow will fall across the Intermountain West and the Southwest.

Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Ange-
les, CA 90069
For more Sudoku go to www.timesleader.com
O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I am an
amateur playwright.
Our local theater
sponsors an annual
playwriting contest.
The prize isnt mon-
etary, but something
far more important
to an author a full-scale production
of the play.
I have won this prize four times
more than any other writer in the his-
tory of the contest. But is my family
impressed? Not at all! My wife told
me she thinks I write everything the
same way and have simply repeated
myself four times.
I am up in years. Its unlikely I will
ever again win this prize. So how do
I respond to such indifference? What
do you do when you feel you have
accomplished something important
and the response is, So, what else is
new?
Looking For Validation in Florida
Dear Looking For Validation: My
hats off to you. That you have won
this prize more than any other writer
in the history of the contest is a
notable achievement, and one thats
not likely to be matched for a long
time if ever. Attend the produc-
tion, take your well-earned bow in the
spotlight, and accept that the less you
look to your wife for validation, the
happier your life will be.
Dear Abby: About a year ago, my fi-
ancee, Jayne, reconnected with her
childhood friend through Facebook.
Christine is gay, unattached and
very attractive. She has a great per-
sonality, and everyone who meets her
seems to be attracted to her. Jayne
and Christine have had overnighters
together. I have asked my fiancee if
Christine has ever made advances
toward her and she said no. I want to
believe her, but part of me is wary.
They are now planning to go on
a trip for a few days. Jayne says she
loves me and that I have nothing to
be jealous about. Am I being naive?
Left Behind in New Jersey
Dear Left Behind: Believe it or not,
gay people are capable of platonic
friendships with members of the
same sex, just as straight people can
have platonic relationships with peo-
ple of the opposite sex. The question
is, do you trust your fiancee? If the
answer is youre not sure, then you
should rethink the engagement.
Dear Abby: My brother has system-
atically taken over my parents lives
for the past 20 years. He uses his
depression and agoraphobia as an ex-
cuse not to lead his own life. He lives
on government disability payments,
and the majority of his support comes
from my parents, whom he lives with
and mooches off of. He doesnt help
them around the house or contribute
in any way. He refuses to get treat-
ment for his disorders.
How can I help my parents finally
be free of him? They are fast ap-
proaching 70 years old. Talking to my
brother is useless, as he becomes hos-
tile and threatens to kill himself. My
parents deserve rest at their age.
Anonymous in New York
Dear Anonymous: At the rate theyre
going, your parents may not get the
rest they deserve until theyre in
the great beyond. Unless they take
a stand and make living with them
conditional upon your brother getting
counseling and medication for his
mental illness, nothing will change.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Playwright who is celebrated in public gets scant applause at home
To receive a collection of Abbys most
memorable and most frequently re-
quested poems and essays, send a busi-

Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447.
(Postage is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You
like to know that youre improv-
ing, and youll see the tangible
evidence of that today. You also
welcome the chance to go back
and correct yourself an open
attitude that sets you apart.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Youll
be given new assignments and
problems to solve. You can feel
proud of the trust others put in
you. There also is movement in
your personal life involving an
intriguing love interest.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Cookies
or fruit? Walk or drive? Say
hi or avoid contact? The little
choices may not seem so impor-
tant, and yet they add up to how
you think, look and feel not to
mention whom you know.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Youll
stand out, and youll be appreci-
ated. Youre popular for one rea-
son now. You actually couldnt
care less about what others
think of you, and this somehow
draws them to you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). While out-
side noise is tiring to your mind
and body, inside noise is tiring
to your soul. Quiet the internal
cacophony through meditation
or being in nature.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Needing
to know everything about how
things work could be stunting
your progress. Let the experts
handle what they are experts at
handling. See the big picture. Be
the big picture.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your
desire for yourself doesnt seem
to be matching up with the uni-
verses desire for you. But dont
take difficulty as evidence that
you should give up.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You
may find that you have come to
resent something you used to
enjoy doing. The energy has sim-
ply run its course. Pressing on
may do more harm than good.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Youll have a daring impulse to
pitch an idea or extend an offer.
Reach and risk. If you dont get
the answer you want, chalk it up
to a brilliant experiment.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
You are riding the wave that
happens when creativity and
inspired action come together.
Surfing in the flow of life, youll
enjoy a particularly focused form
of concentration.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You
are determined not to make the
same mistake you made in the
past, and yet you feel yourself
drawn inexplicably to a certain
habit. Relax and get your head
together.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Possessions are still bogging you
down. If you had to fit your life
into one closet, what would you
keep? The answer to that ques-
tion will help you liberate some
dead weight.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (March 19).
The thing that will happen over
and over is that youll keep
meeting the right person at the
right time. In April, youll make
money because you pay atten-
tion to details and keep your
eyes peeled and your palms out-
stretched. Seize an opportunity.
In June, youll join forces with
someone who has similar goals.
Cancer and Leo people adore
you. Your lucky numbers are: 30,
25, 31, 27 and 15.
