WASHINGTON A new
survey by a prominent veter-

an unemployment rate among
veterans of the wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan that is significant-

Nearly17percent of veterans
surveyed by the Iraq and Af-

said they were unemployed,
the group said Monday. A sur-

AWilkes-Barre parcel withunpaidprop-
erty taxes dating back 17 years is among
260 Luzerne County properties slated for
back-tax auction on April 12.
The 0.46-acre vacant lot on North River
Street near the county courthouse once
housed deteriorated brick row homes de-
molished by the city in 2004.
Diomena Minichello had purchased the
property in1993 and started defaulting on
the property taxes in1995, county records
show. Her son, Michael, inherited the
property after her death in 2003, and the
back-tax tab has escalated to $138,512.
A bankruptcy proceeding and court or-
ders kept the property out of sales for
years, according to representatives of
Northeast Revenue Service LLC, the
countys tax claim operator.
The property was listed in a 2009 first-
stage upset sale after all the court stays
were lifted, but nobody bid because the
buyer would be stuck with all taxes and
liens connected to the parcel.
Liens and taxes are forgiven at second-
stage, free-and-clear or judicial sales. The
Minichello property is listed at a starting
bid around $1,000 in the free-and-clear
portion of the April 12 auction.
Challenges serving legal paperwork to
the property and lien holders prevented
the parcel from being listed in free-and-
clear sales until now, according to North-
east Revenue.
Because liens are now forgiven, the city
wont reclaim $61,000 in community de-

EDWARDSVILLE -- A Wilkes-
Barre man faces multiple charges
after he allegedly ate a rotisserie
chicken in a grocery store, con-
taminated the lobster tank with
the bones, threatened store em-
ployees and assaulted a police of-
ficer.
According to court papers:
Police officer Michael Lehman
was on patrol near the West Side
Mall on Sunday when he saw a
purple vehicle speeding through
the mall parking lot. He stopped
the driver at Northampton Street
and Wyoming Avenue near Cole
Muffler and asked him to pull in-
to the parking lot at the nearby
Ollies restaurant, according to
court papers.
Lehman asked the driver, who
was identified as Allan W. Ran-
dall, 45, of 75 B St. Clair St., why
he was driving so carelessly, and
Randall refused to answer. He al-
so could not produce a drivers li-
cense.
While Lehman was checking
Randalls information with Lu-
zerne County 911, a loss preven-
tion officer from Price Chopper
approached him and told him
Randall was just involved in a re-
tail theft incident at the store.
The loss prevention officer re-
ported:
At about 3:30 p.m., she saw
Randall select a roasted chicken,
Sobe Life Water and an apple
from store shelves and then con-
sume the items. He then put the
chicken bones in the lobster tank
andsharedthe apple withhis two
young children.
Randall then picked up bottles
of soda, shookthemupandthrew
them back on the shelf, ditched
the rest of the chicken near the
soda aisle andkickedseveral food
products, damaging them, on his
way to the exit doors.
When approached by store se-
curity, Randall said he didnt do
anything and told the officer to
get away and left without paying.
When the officer went outside
to get Randalls license plate
number with the store manager,
Randall threatened them and
swervedhis vehicle intheir direc-
tion, nearly hitting them.
After the loss prevention offi-
cer called police, she noticed that
Randall hadbeenpulledover and
went to talk with Lehman.
Randall told Lehman nothing
happened at the store and, when
asked to get out of his vehicle, be-
came belligerent. He was placed
in the rear seat of Lehmans po-
lice cruiser. Randalls wife, Jessi-
ca, who was with him, also had a
suspended license, and the vehi-
cle was towed.
At the station, Randall refused
to get out of the cruiser and
swung his cane at Lehman, strik-
ing himin the hand several times
and cutting his thumb area, ac-
cording to court papers.
Once in the police station, Leh-
man received a call from the
Price Chopper loss preventionof-
ficer, who told him the lobsters
had to be removed fromthe store
because they were contaminated
after eating the chicken Randall
put in the tank with them.
The total value of the alleged
retail theft was $209.12. Lehman
saidit was Randalls secondretail
theft offense.
Randall was charged with ag-
gravated assault, terroristic
threats, retail theft, recklessly en-
dangering another person, resist-
ing arrest, disorderly conduct,
criminal mischief, driving with a
suspended license and driving an
unregistered vehicle.
Randall was arraigned before
District Judge John Hasay in
Shickshinny and held at Luzerne
County Correctional Facility for
lack of $25,000 bail.

ASHLEY -- An Ashley man
was cited Monday by the Penn-
sylvania Game Commission
with allegedly possessing a pet
monkey without a permit.
The summary citation was
filed against Jeffrey William
Arnott Sr., of Preston Street,
with District Judge Joseph Hale-
sey in Hanover Township.
Game Commission wildlife
conservation officers took custo-
dy of the monkey, named Tyler,
on March 19 when it was cap-
tured by Arnott from a porch on
Barnes Street, Ashley.
Arnotts son, Jeffrey Jr., 23,
allegedly had the monkey while
driving a stolen all-terrain vehi-
cle that was pursued by Ashley
police.
Arnott Sr. said he had the
monkey for about 15 years. It
was sent to an animal sanctuary
in Snyder County.
Arnott Jr. was charged with
receiving stolen property, resist-
ing arrest and disorderly con-
duct. A preliminary hearing is
scheduled today before Halesey.
The citation against Arnott Sr.
was mailed Monday. A sum-
mary hearing will be scheduled
if Arnott Sr. pleads not guilty.
WILKES-BARRE -- City
police said they are investigat-
ing a robbery at the Turkey Hill
at Hazle Avenue and South
Wilkes-Barre Boulevard on
Monday morning.
A clerk told police he was
making coffee with his back to
the door when a customer walk-
ed in at about 6 a.m. The clerk
walked behind the register and
noticed the customer had con-
cealed his face with a scarf.
The man demanded money
and the clerk placed the cash
drawer on the counter. The
suspect grabbed the drawer and
drove away in a dark-colored
Jeep, which was reported stolen
from a Coal Street, Wilkes-
Barre, residence.
Police said they recovered the
Jeep in the area of 113 N. Meade
St. The vehicle had the ignition
damaged and a large stone on
the passenger seat.
The suspect is described by
police as a Hispanic male in his
late teens to early 20s, 5 feet, 8
inches to 5 feet, 10 inches tall,
with medium-length black hair
and he wore a denim jacket.
PLAINS TWP. Township
police reported the following:
Joseph Nowakowski, of
Roosevelt Street, Exeter, was to
be cited with public drunk-
enness after police observed
him allegedly exhibiting signs of
alcohol impairment while walk-
ing on North River Street at
2:40 a.m. Thursday before they
transported him to his resi-
dence.
Tiffany Thomas, of Sweet
Valley, reported that somebody
smashed a window on her Chev-
rolet Cobalt and stole her wallet
from inside the car while it was
parked at Ole Tyme Charleys on
South River Street sometime
between 1 a.m. and 2:15 a.m.
Saturday.
Police responded to a ha-
rassment complaint at the
Woodlands Inn on state Route
115 at 9:05 a.m. Saturday after
Nancy Miller, an employee,
reported that her husband,
Robert Betts, was calling her at
work threatening to come there
and punch her. Police said Betts
arrived at the Woodlands, was
arrested and charged with ha-
rassment and disorderly con-
duct.

District Judge Joseph Halesey in
Hanover Township and was
taken to the Luzerne County
Correctional Facility. His prelim-
inary hearing is scheduled for 9
a.m. April 3 before District
Judge Diana Malast.
POLICE BLOTTER
NUANGOLA The borough
sewer system project has gone
to bid, it was stated at Monday
nights meeting of the sewer
authority by Rich Kresge, pro-
ject engineer for the Quad3
Group of Wilkes-Barre.
Kresge said the plan is to
schedule an opening of bids at
an April 27 meeting of the au-
thority.
He said he wanted to give
prospective bidders 30 days to
prepare and file their proposals
as well as conform to a U.S. De-
partment of Agriculture sched-
uled conference.
The USDA Rural Develop-
ment Agency will provide ma-
jor funding for the project, in-
cluding, at this stage, a $3.1
million grant and a $3 million
loan.
Because the price of the sys-
temhas been estimated to have
escalated to more than $9 mil-
lion, USDA officials are re-
searching the possibility of ob-
taining additional federal fund-
ing for Nuangola.
The authority is also prepar-
ing to meet provisions of a
pending $5.4 million loan
agreement with the Fulton
Bank of Lancaster.
The loan has been designat-
ed as a bridge loan to finance
construction until such time as
USDA commits its money.
In conjunction with USDA
efforts, David Pekar, authority
chairman, and attorney Robert
Gonos, solicitor, said loan and
grant money is available to
qualified residents who find
connecting to the system a fi-
nancial hardship.
The money, they said, is
available through a 504 Loan/
Grant Program, which USDA
states is designed to assist low-
income clients at low interest
rates.
Eligibility for loans centers
on credit worthiness, proof of
property ownership, reliable
income sources and the ability
to enter into a legal contract.
For a grant, the major stipu-
lation, according to the USDA,
is an applicant must be 62 years
old or older and showan inabil-
ity to meet the cost of connect-
ing.
Regina Plodwick, president
of council, said the prospective
connection fee is now $2,025,
which encompasses permit
costs and150 feet of piping to a
grinder pump/lateral that will
be part of the main system.
Residents will have to absorb
the cost an excavator to dig a
trench from their dwelling to
the main.
Under an income schedule
offered by Thomas Williams,
state director of USDA, a per-
son earning $20,350 per year is
classified as very lowincome; a
person earning $32,550 is re-
garded as low income. The
range for a two-person family
seeking a USDAloan is $20,350
(very lowincome) and $27,200
(low income); for a five-person
family, $31,400 and $50,200.
Apacket containing an appli-
cation and information on doc-
umentation required by the
USDA is available through bor-
ough officials.
Discussion by Gonos also
centered on communicating
with attorney William Higgs,
Rice Township solicitor, re-
garding prevailing issues about
blasting and the need to meet
with Crestwood Area School
District officials about an ease-
ment agreement for the Rice
Elementary School.
The main line is proposed to
pass in front of the school
building, which affords Crest-
wood the option of connecting.
The only public comment
came from Councilman John
Kochan, who formerly served
as authority chairman, and
who took issue with right-of-
way stakes being on his proper-
ty without his approval or prior
knowledge.
Kochan was assured by Pe-
kar the stakes were not placed
by the authority. Plodwick said
it also was not the work of
council.

HARVEYS LAKE -- Borough
deputy EMAcoordinator and for-
mer councilman Rich Williams
said Monday night that the bor-
ough wants Luzerne County 911
to return emergency services dis-
patching back to the Harveys
Lake Volunteer Fire and Ambu-
lance Department.
Aresponse time of up to an ad-
ditional nine minutes linked to a
newsystemthe county instituted
last year compared with a previ-
ous systems three tofive minutes
was cited as the main reason for
the request.
It was explained at Mondays
press conference that in October,
LuzerneCounty911tookover the
Harveys Lake call boxes that dis-
patch the boroughs fire and am-
bulance services. In the past, the
call boxes simultaneouslyworked
withtheKunkleFireDepartment.
Since the new system used by
the countys 911 operations does
not support simultaneous dis-
patch, $1.8 million of taxpayers
money has been wasted, Wil-
liams said.
The response time withthe old
systemwas three to five minutes.
With the new system, there is a
potential of as much as nine addi-
tional minutes that can be added
to that time, Williams said.
Williamsalsosaidthat ina2010
borough survey, all of those who
were asked said they were satis-
fied with their emergency service
operations.
He saidhe has made numerous
calls and wrote several letters to
various county officials, most of
which have gone without re-
sponse. Among the correspond-
ence was a formal letter to Lu-
zerneCounty911. Therequest for
the borough to re-gain control of
its own call boxes was refused via
a letter signed by the Executive
Director of the 911 Communica-
tions Center David Parsnick, as
well as former county commis-
sioners Maryanne Petrilla, Tho-
mas Cooney, and Stephen Urban,
he said.
. Among those in attendance at
Mondays press conference were
members from seven different
Back Mountain Fire Depart-
ments, members of the Harveys
Lake council and the borough
mayor, andresidents fromseveral
neighboring communities.
Many in attendance said they
didnotseetheneedforthecounty
takeover of the call boxes and re-
place a system that worked for
decades.
Councilwoman Michele Boice
said the change made no sense
and that there must be a money
issue somewhere where some-
one was profiting.
Councilwoman Amy Williams
and Fire Chief David Davis were
the other main speakers at the
event.
Davis said he believes 911 is
trying to get rid of all of the vol-
unteers and switch to paid ser-
vice providers. If the volunteers
are eliminated, the result would
beataxincreasetopayforthepro-
viders salaries, he said.
Davis also said the simultane-
ous dispatch service had been
working well and now 911 has
bought a system that wont sup-
port it.

Reminders on recycling
The single-stream recycling pro-
gram has been a tremendous success
in just two months of operation, but
the city reminds residents that certain
regulations still apply.
All cardboard and newspaper mate-
rial must be bundled tightly so they
dont blow around and be placed curb-
side for pickup.
Loose materials will not be picked
up at the curb and property owners
could face citations.
Newspaper and cardboard may also
be placed in city issued recycling bins,
but materials should not exceed the
rim of the container.
The DPW garage is open Monday-
Friday, 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., for drop-
ping off garbage or recyclable items.
No materials should be deposited in
the DPW yard on weekends when the
facility is closed.

HANOVERTWP. Two men
driving a stolen Ford Focus es-
caped capture after firing shots
at a Wilkes-Barre police officer
who was pursuing them, police
said.
The car was reported stolen
when its owner was tied up in-
side his Church Street house
during a robbery Sunday night,
authorities said.
Township police Chief Al
Walker said:
A 33-year-old man was un-
loading groceries in front of his
house in the 700 block of
Church Street when he was
confrontedby anarmedmale at
about 9:15 p.m. The gunman
approached the victimfrombe-
tween two houses located just
feet apart.
The victim was forced into
his house at gunpoint and tied
up. His head was covered,
which prevented him from see-
ing a second suspect entering
the house, Walker said.
Walker said the two suspects
spent about 90 minutes inside
the house stealing mostly elec-
tronics. They drove away in the
victims red 2004 Ford Focus.
The victimwas able tofree him-
self and call 911.
Shortly after 911 alerted po-
lice agencies to be on the loo-
kout for the Ford, a Wilkes-
Barre officer spotted it around
midnight.
The officer pursued the vehi-
cle outside the city and was
shot at by the suspects, police
said. Multiple gunshots were
fired at the officer reportedly
on Suscon Road on Pittston
Township and state Route 115
in Luzerne and Monroe coun-
ties.
Police in pursuit lost sight of
the vehicle in the area of the Po-
cono Raceway in Monroe
County, about 25 miles from
where the Ford was stolen.
Walker said the vehicle was
later found abandoned in
Thornhurst, Lackawanna

WILKES-BARRE One man charged
in the death of a Hazleton man in Janu-
ary 2011 pleaded guilty Monday to a re-
lated charge while a jury was selected to
hear the case of another man accused of
stabbing the man to death.
Angel Sanchez, 21, of Hazleton, plead-
ed guilty to a charge of
third-degree murder in
the Jan. 16 death of 21-
year-old Vladimir Ruiz
outside a city tavern.
Rodolfo Hiraldo Pe-
rez, 25, also of Hazle-
ton, will face a trial on
charges of criminal
homicide and criminal
attempt this week after a jury of eight
men and eight women, including four al-
ternates, were selected Monday.
Attorneys will present opening argu-
ments this morningbeforetestimonybe-
gins in the case.
Perez and Sanchez were charged after
Hazleton police responded to West
Green Street on Jan. 16, 2011, for the re-
port of two men lying on the sidewalk
near Penn Palace, a local tavern.
Police foundRuiz withseveral injuries
and stab wounds, and 23-year-old Juda
Hope, of Hazleton, who suffered gun-
shot wounds and was airlifted to Lehigh
Valley Hospital, where he later died. Po-
lice say Hope was shot and killed by Wil-
lis Gonzalez, who remains at large.
Prosecutors say that surveillance vid-
eo of the area shows a fight among Ruiz,
Sanchez and Perez. Prosecutors say the
fight might have been gang-related.
According to court papers, Sanchez
can be seen punching, kicking and
stomping Ruiz, while Perez can be seen
preventingpeoplefromhelpingRuiz. Pe-
rez is then seen allegedly taking a knife
and stabbing Ruiz as he is being assault-
ed by Sanchez.
Assistant District Attorney Daniel Zo-
la saidSanchezs assault onRuiz left him
with severe head trauma, and that San-
chez acted as an accomplice.
Sanchez faces 20 to 40 years in prison
when he is sentenced on May 29, Judge
David Lupas said.
He is not expected to testify at Perezs
trial this week.
Sheriff deputies bring one of the ac-
cused into the Luzerne County Cour-

EATONTWP. Misericordia Univer-
sity senior Jon Weiss often wondered if
the pumping stations used to remove
water from Bowmans Creek for gas
drilling were having an impact on the
waterway.
Sure, Bowmans Creek is quite large,
he said, but if theres animpact it should
be identified.
Last summer and fall, Weiss and fel-
low biology students Nick Sulzer and
Lawrence Paddockset out todetermine
if the makeup of the creek changed
above and below the pumping stations.
They did the work for their senior pro-
ject under the guidance of Barbara
McCraith, Ph.D., associate professor of
biology at Misericordia.
Gas drilling is still relatively new
andtherearent alot of studies onevery-
thing involved, Weiss said. We chose
this streambecause of the pumping sta-
tions. It would be a good indicator if
there are any impacts.
They chose to study Bowmans Creek
because it is close tothe BackMountain
campus and is stocked with trout by the
Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commis-
sion, makingit a popular destinationfor
anglers.
McCraith said the project isnt aimed
at stoppingwater withdrawal, but tode-
termine if better regulations are need-
ed. The first step, she said, was to deter-
mine if the flow of the stream or its
makeup, includingwater chemistryand
macro invertebrate life, changed signif-
icantly above and belowthe water with-
drawal sites.
From May through November, the
trio of students visited the creek every
two weeks to take samples. They mea-
sured the base flow, total dissolved sol-

WILKES-BARRE Gust-
ing winds onMonday provid-
ed a banner day for well
banners.
Mayor Tom Leighton
called it another step in the
beautification of this great
city, as public works em-
ployees began hanging ban-
ners on streetlight poles that
celebrate the citys history.
Every community must
always look to the future for
newopportunities, but never
forget where it has been,
Leighton said outside City
Hall. We must remember
the people, the organizations
and the achievements of pre-
vious generations in order to
understand who we are as a
people and a community.
The Streetlight Banner pro-
gram fulfills that mission.
About 10 banners, which
cost $150 each and were paid
for by city businesses, were
hung, and Leighton said
more will follow.
The banners feature pho-
tos of previous mayors, his-
toric photos of famous
Wilkes-Barre buildings and
people, and pictures and lo-
gos of businesses past and
present. Its an initiative,
Leighton said, that will en-
hance the appearance of the
downtown business district.
Gus Genetti, owner of Ge-
nettis Best Western Hotel &
Conference Center a fix-
ture in the downtown since
1963 was one of the first to
enroll in the banner promo-
tion. Genettis Hotel is the
former Hotel Redington,
built in 1906.
Its great, Genetti said.
Anything that promotes
downtown Wilkes-Barre is
good. The downtown has a
lot going for it.
Butch Frati said the ban-
ners couldnot be toolarge, to
reduce the wind wear on
the light poles. Frati, the

EL CAJON, CALIF.
Iraqi-American woman dies
I
raqs foreign minister said Monday
that the body of an Iraqi-American
woman who was found brutally beaten
next to a note saying go back to your
country, you terrorist will be flown to
Baghdad as lawmakers in her native
country demanded a thorough investi-
gation.
Shaima Alawadi, 32, was taken off
life support on Saturday, three days
after her 17-year-old daughter found
her unconscious in the dining room of
the familys El Cajon home in suburban
San Diego.
Investigators said theyre exploring
all aspects of her slaying, including the
possibility that the attack was a hate
crime.
Reaction in Baghdad was muted,
though some lawmakers pressed for
answers.
PHILADELPHIA
Monsignor goes on trial
A high-ranking monsignor on trial in
Philadelphia wont run from the
Catholic Churchs sex abuse crisis, his
lawyer said Monday when the land-

Monsignor William Lynn supervised
more than 800 priests as the secretary
for clergy in Philadelphia from1992 to
2004. Hes the first U.S. church official
ever charged over his handling of abuse
complaints.
Prosecutors charge that he kept
dangerous priests in parish work
around children to protect the churchs
reputation and avoid scandal.

Turkey faces Syria dilemma
Events are pushing Turkey ever
closer to setting up a buffer zone in
Syria to protect civilians.
Turkish officials have long been
hesitant about the idea, even while the
U.N. reported that thousands of Syr-
ians were being killed as President
Bashar Assads forces crush dissent.
But on Monday, a Turkish official
indicated that a surge of refugees from
Syria might compel Turkey, preferably
with international backing, to establish
a buffer zone on Syrian soil to guaran-
tee the security of its own southern
border as well as the welfare of civil-
ians fleeing violence.
Turkey already shelters 17,000 Syr-
ians in refugee camps, and the official
did not say how many more refugees
might constitute a tipping point.
COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO.
Egg-hunt hopes smashed
Organizers of an annual Easter egg
hunt attended by hundreds of children
have canceled this years event, citing
the behavior of aggressive parents who
swarmed into the tiny park last year,
determined that their kids get an egg.
That hunt was over in seconds, to
the consternation of egg-less tots and
their own parents. Too many parents
had jumped a rope set up to allow only
children into Bancroft Park in a historic
area of Colorado Springs.
Organizers say the event has out-
grown its original intent of being a
neighborhood event.
Parenting observers cite the cancella-
tion as a prime example of so-called
helicopter parents those who
hover over their children and are in-
volved in every aspect of their chil-
drens lives sports, school, and in-
creasingly work to ensure that they
dont fail, even at an Easter egg hunt.

SANTIAGO, Cuba Pope
Benedict XVI arrived in Cuba
on Monday in the footsteps of
his more famous predecessor,
saying he holds great affection
for Cubans on both sides of the
Florida Straits and heartfelt
hopes for reconciliation.
President Raul Castro
warmly greeted the pope, who
said he was coming as a pil-
grim of charity as he arrived
at the airport in Santiago, Cu-
bas second-largest city.
The pontiff, who last week
gaveamoregentletweaktohis
hosts by expressing sympathy
for all islanders, including pris-
oners.
I carry in my heart the just
aspirations and legitimate de-
sires of all Cubans, wherever
they may be, he said. Those
of the young and the elderly, of
adolescents and children, of
the sickandworkers, of prison-
ers and their families, and of
the poor and those in need.
In his own remarks, the Cu-
ban leader assured Benedict
his country favors complete re-
ligious freedom and has good
relations with all religious in-
stitutions.
He also criticized the 50-
year-old U.S. economic embar-
go and defended the socialist
ideal of providingfor those less
fortunate.
Benedicts stay in Cuba -- for
alittleover 48hours -- will inev-
itably spark comparisons to
John Paul IIs historic 1998
tour.
Thepontiff was scheduledto
travel through town in his
glassed-in popemobile and
then rally tens of thousands of
believers at anoutdoor Mass in
the colonial citys main square
on a blue-and-white platform
crowned by graceful arches in
the shape of a papal miter. Ben-
edict was scheduled to spend
the night in a house beside the
shrine of Cubas patron saint,
the Virgin of Charity of Cobre.
Benedicts limited schedule
is suretodisappoint manywho
want a piece of his attention,
fromthe dissident community,
to practitioners of the Afro-Cu-
banSanteria faith, toreturning
Cuban American exiles and
even representatives of impris-
oned U.S. government subcon-
tractor Alan Gross, who are
hoping the pontiff will inter-
cede on his behalf.
The Vatican has said the
pope has noplans tomeet with
any of them, citing his ad-
vanced age and need for rest.

SANFORD, Fla. TrayvonMartinhad
been suspended from school for marijua-
na when the unarmed teenager was shot
to death by a neighborhood watch volun-
teer, a family spokesman said Monday.
Martin, 17, was suspended by Miami-
Dade County schools because traces of
marijuana were found in a plastic baggie
in his book bag, family spokesman Ryan
Julison said. Martin was shot Feb. 26 by
George Zimmerman while he was visit-
ing Sanford with his father.
Martins mother, Sybrina Fulton, and
family attorneys blamed police for leak-
ing the information about the marijuana
to the news media in an effort to demon-
ize the teenager. The only comment that
I have right nowis that they killedmy son
and now theyre trying to kill his reputa-
tion, Fulton told reporters.
The Sanford Police Department insist-
ed there was no authorized release of the
suspension information but said there
may have been a leak within the agency.
City Manager Norton Bonaparte Jr. said
the source of the leak would be probed
andthe personresponsible couldbe fired.
Meanwhile, the Orlando Sentinel re-
ported authorities revealed that Martin
decked Zimmerman with a single punch,
then climbed on top of himand slammed
his head into the sidewalk several times,
leaving him bloody and battered.
That is the account Zimmerman gave
police, and much of it has been corrobo-
rated by witnesses, authorities say.
Martin family attorney Benjamin
Crump said the link between the youth
and marijuana should have no bearing on
the probe into his shooting death.
Also Monday, the state Department of
Juvenile Justice confirmed that Martin
does not have a juvenile offender record.
In another development, city officials
named a 23-year veteran of the Sanford
police department as acting chief. The
appointment of Capt. Darren Scott, who
is African-American, came days after
Chief Bill Lee, who is white, temporarily
steppeddownas the agency enduredcrit-
icism over its handling of the case.
Civil rights leaders Jesse Jackson and
Al Sharpton were to hold a rally in San-
ford later Monday along with leaders
from the Urban League and ACLU.

CHICAGO New research gives
clear proof that weight-loss surgery
can reverse and possibly cure diabetes,
and doctors say the operation should
be offered sooner to more people with
the disease not just as a last resort.
The two studies, released on Mon-
day, are the first to compare stomach-
reducing operations to medicines
alone for diabesity Type 2 dia-
betes brought on by obesity. Millions
of Americans have this and cant make
enough insulin or use what they do
make to process sugar from food.
Both studies found that surgery
helped far more patients achieve nor-
mal blood-sugar levels than medicines
alone did.
The results were dramatic: Some
people were able to stop taking insulin
as soon as three days after their oper-
ations. Cholesterol and other heart
risk factors also greatly improved.
Doctors dont like to say cure be-
cause they cant promise a disease will
never come back. But in one study,
most surgery patients were able tostop
all diabetes drugs and have their dis-
ease stay in remission for at least two
years. None of those treated with med-
icines alone could do that.
It is a major advance, said Dr. John
Buse of the University of North Caroli-
na at Chapel Hill, a leadingdiabetes ex-
pert who had no role in the studies.
Buse said he often recommends sur-
gery to patients who are obese and
cant control their blood-sugar through
medications, but many are leery of it.
This evidence will help convince
them that this really is an important
therapy to at least consider, he said.
There were signs that the surgery it-
self not just weight loss helps re-
verse diabetes. Food makes the gut
produce hormones to spur insulin, so
trimming away part of it surgically
may affect those hormones, doctors
believe.

KABUL, Afghanistan Afghan
security forces shot and killed
three international troops Monday
in two separate incidents, the lat-
est in a rising number of attacks in
which Afghan
forces have
turned their
weapons on
their foreign
partners.

They also
come at a time
when interna-
tional troops
have stepped
up training and
mentoring of
Afghansoldiers, policeandgovern-
ment workers so that Afghans can
take the leadandthe foreignforces
can go home. The success of that
partnership is key to the U.S.-led
coalitions strategy to withdraw
most forces by the end of 2014.
SixteenNATOservice members
18 percent of the 84 foreign
troops killed so far this year
have been shot and killed by Af-
ghan soldiers and policemen or
militants disguised in their uni-
forms, according to the AP tally.
In one incident Monday, two
British service members were
killed by an Afghan soldier in front
of the main gate of a joint civilian-
military base in southern Afghan-
istan, the coalition said. Another
NATOservice member, whose na-
tionality was not disclosed, was
shot andkilledat a checkpoint bya
man who was believed to be a
member of a village-level fighting
force the U.S. is fostering in hopes
of counteringtheTalibaninsurgen-

Luzerne County Controller
Walter Griffithsaidoutside audits
of four county offices will cost
about $13,500, according to pro-
posals submittedbyFridays dead-
line.
He sought proposals to com-
plete audits because he lost his
staff CPA because of 2012 budget
cuts.
Griffith said the CPA was the
only staffer witheducational qual-
ifications
needed to
complete au-
dits that
meet recog-
nized gov-
ernmental
auditing
standards -- a
new require-
ment under
the countys
home rule
charter.
The controller and the three re-
maining workers are qualified to
complete performance reviews
and investigations that also are
permitted by the charter, he said.
ParenteBeard, Wilkes-Barre,
agreed to charge $7,000 to audit
the prison commissary and
$6,500 for audits of tax claim, tax
collection and the assessors of-
fice, Griffith said.
Hall-Mihalos-StraubandCo., al-
so of Wilkes-Barre, submitted the
only other proposal. The compa-
ny would charge $12,000 to
$16,000 for the commissary audit
and $13,000 to $15,000 for the re-
maining three audits, Griffith
said.
Griffith said he must further re-
view the proposals and interview
the companies but believes he can
cover the expense with his bud-
geted funds.
Further outsourcing may be
necessary for major audits, he
said. Controllers staff may assist
in data collection to reduce costs,
he said.
He said he had to furlough the
CPA to meet his budget because
the CPAs $58,350 salary was al-
most the equivalent of two other
workers. If he kept the CPA, hed
be down to two employees, he
said.
Maybenext year I canget fund-
ing to hire people with creden-
tials, he said.
Griffith is scheduled to present
his 2012 audit plan to council to-
night.
Council Chairman Jim Bobeck
said council members want a real-
istic list of audits that will be com-
pleted and a timetable. Griffith al-
ready submitted two plans, but
council members asked for more
detail on how his plan would be
executed, Bobeck said.
The controller is the chief fi-
nancial officer, so citizens have a
right tounderstandhowhes mak-
ing these financial decisions on
who hes auditing, Bobeck said.
Griffith said he and his staff
havecompletedmost, if not all, re-
quired audits through 2010. The
office is partially focused on a
compliance review of payroll and
attendance and reviews of magist-
erial offices, which do not require
a CPA, he said.

HARRISBURG An organi-

a state House resolution that de-
clares 2012 the Year of the Bible,
saying the measure violates the
U.S. Constitutions provision that
prevents government fromenact-
ing laws respecting an establish-
ment of religion.
The Freedom from Religion
Foundation on Monday sued the
measures main sponsor, Rep.
Rick Saccone, R-Allegheny;
House clerk Tony Barbush; and
House parliamentarian Clancy
Myer over the resolution.
The lawsuit says the resolution
sends a message to the citizens
of Pennsylvania, including (the
foundations) members, that
Christian beliefs are more legiti-
mate in the eyes of the state than
other systems of belief and
thought, which constitute mat-
ters of individual free con-
science.
The Madison, Wis.-based foun-
dationwants a federal judge toor-
der the defendants to stop pub-
lishing and distributing the reso-
lution and to rule that the state
government isnt Judeo-Chris-
tian. It alsorequests a declaration
that the state public officials are
subject to the Constitutions Es-
tablishment Clause and a repay-
ment of costs and legal fees asso-
ciated with the complaint.
Saccone, whose resolution
notes the Bibles formative influ-
ence andsays thereis anational
need to study and apply scrip-
ture, said Monday that the law-
suit was meritless.
God has always been a part of
our government, said Saccone,

The campaign battle for the
Democratic nomination in the
17th Congressional District saw
its first attack ad salvo fired Mon-
day, and it came from California.
BlueAmerica PAC issued a
press release from Los Angeles
reminding 17th District voters
about U.S. Rep. TimHoldens sup-
port for the natural gas drilling
method known as fracking. Bill-
boards in Schuylkill, Lackawanna
and Northampton counties went
up emblazoned with Frackings
got a friend in Pennsylvania.
Fracking hydraulic fracturing
uses high-pressure injection of
water, sand and chemicals to re-
lease gas
trapped in shale
deep under-
ground.
The BlueA-
merica PAC
press release
stated: Con-
gressman Hold-
en may be trying to cover up his
past support for the practice now,
but BlueAmerica PAC believes
that many Democrats in the new-
ly drawn 17th District need to
know just how friendly he has
been to the fracking industry for
many years before they cast their
votes in next months primary
election.
The release quotes a report
done by Lee Fang of the Republi-
cReport.com, that said Holden,
D-St. Clair, voted to deregulate
the horizontal drilling industry, a
process commonly known as
fracking, by voting for the Halli-
burton Loophole placed by in-
dustry lobbyists. That law, the re-
port states, exempted the proc-
ess from the Clean Water Act, al-
lowing oil and natural gas
companies to go about their busi-
ness with little accountability. In
many cases, local communities
have faced a variety of chemicals
in their drinking water, some of
thembelieved to be carcinogenic,
because of the fracking boom in
recent years.
BlueAmerica claims oil and gas
interests have provided Holden
with about $400,000 in contribu-
tions over the course of his 20-
year career inCongress. Holdenis
the longest-serving Pennsylvania
congressman.
Holden issued a statement in
response, but he didnt address
the specifics of the BlueAmerica
release. Instead, his campaign
spokesman, Eric Nagy, said Hold-
en preferred to focus on the out-
side influence of super PACs.
MultipleSuper PACsfromout-
side the17th district are poised to
spend millions of dollars to dis-
tort TimHoldens recordof public
serviceandaredeterminedtobuy
this election, Nagy said. Tim
HoldenisfirmlyopposedtoSuper
PACs and believes that voters are
supposed to decide elections, not
corporations.
Nagy said Holden has always
has always legislated from the
political center, which is where
most of America andthe17thDis-
trict find themselves.
What we have here is a case of
the rich helping the rich billio-
naires and millionaires coming to
the rescue of fellow millionaire
Matt Cartwright, Nagy said.
But, Tim Holdens priorities
have not and will not waver.
BlueAmerica treasurer Howie
Klein said BlueAmerica has en-
dorsed Holdens Democratic op-
ponent Cartwright, of Moosic, in
the April 24 Pennsylvania pri-
mary.
The people of Northeastern
Pennsylvania need to know Tim
Holdens record over the past 19
years that he is trying to hide,
Cartwright said. He has voted
against health care reform, op-
posed legislation that would have
made it harder for banks to fore-
close on struggling families at the
height of the recession, and he
voted with George W. Bush 60
percent of the time.
BlueAmerica is a political ac-
tion committee dedicated to
electing progressives to Con-
gress.
Laureen Cummings, a nurse
fromOld Forge, is running on the
Republican ticket.

WILKES-BARRE A Ply-
mouth man charged with hav-
ing inappropriate contact with
two young children pleaded
guilty Monday to related
charges.
Richard Park, 25, of Turner
Street, entered the plea to
charges of involuntary deviate
sexual intercourse and unlaw-
ful contact with a minor in a
case in which prosecutors say
he inappropriately touched a
7-year-old girl and 4-year-old
boy.
Park, who is represented by
attorney William Watt, will be
sentenced on June 27.
He will be required to regis-
ter his address under Megans
Law, County Judge Fred Pie-
rantoni said, and will undergo
an evaluation by the state Sex-
ual Offenders Assessment
Board.
Assistant District Attorney
Jenny Roberts is prosecuting
the case.
According to court papers,
in April 2008, a woman con-
tacted police and alleged Park
had indecent contact with her
two children.
A county detective inter-
viewed the children in July
2010. The boy said that when
he was around 4 years old in
2007, Park performed oral sex
on him. The girl said that
same year, when she was
about 7 years old, Park tou-
ched her inappropriately on
two different occasions.
The children said the inci-
dents happened when Park
was babysitting them.
Investigators interviewed
Park in October 2010, when he
admitted he touched the two
children, but that he never
meant to hurt them.
I never wanted to hurt
them, Park allegedly told in-
vestigators. I want to get bet-
ter.
Park provided investigators
with a written statement ad-
mitting to the allegations.
All I want is to put this
behind me so I can go on with
my life, Park allegedly wrote.
I never done (sic) this to any
other kids. Also, I know what I
did was wrong by touching
children the way I did and I
never wanted to hurt them in
any way and I would like to
move on with my life.
Pierantoni said Park is to
have no contact with minors
or places they frequent, such
as playgrounds.

WILKES-BARRE An Ed-
wardsville man who police say
was high on bath salts when he
called police to say there were
90 people living in the walls
pleaded guilty Monday to a
charge of endangering the wel-
fare of children.
Robert Hospodar, 30, of Fran-
klin Street, entered the plea be-
fore County Judge Joseph Skla-
rosky Jr.
He was scheduledtostandtrial
on related charges Monday.
Hospodar faces a maximum of
five years in prison when he is
sentenced on May 18.
Assistant District Attorney
Mamie Phillips said Monday that
Hospodar, andAmber Sutton, 27,
of Luzerne Avenue, West Pitt-
ston, were charged after police
said they were hallucinating on
bath salts and nearly cut their 5-
year-old daughter with knives
they were using to stab people
they believed were living in the
walls of their apartment inMarch
2011.
Are those the facts you are
pleading guilty to? Sklarosky
asked Hospodar.
Yes, Hospodar replied.
The child was not injured, po-
lice said, and full custody of her
had been given to Suttons moth-
er.
Police said they responded to
the call, and Hospodar and Sut-
ton were holding knives and oth-
er knives were on the floor.
Hospodar and Sutton exhibit-
ed extremely paranoid behavior
police said, andeachsaidthe oth-
er was on bath salts, according to
court papers.
They were pulling drywall off
the walls andsticking their heads
inthe walls describingthe people
which they claimed they saw.
They were plunging knives into
the holes in the walls, attempting
to stab the people, according to
court papers.
Hospodar must undergo a
mental health evaluation and at-
tend drug-and-alcohol counsel-
ing, Sklarosky said.
Hospodars attorney, Mark Bu-
falino, said his client will apply
for the countys Intermediate
Punishment Program, a term of
house arrest and probation,
though sentencing is ultimately
up to Sklarosky.
Sutton had been entered into
the countys Treatment Court
program as a result of the charg-
es, but was removedfromthepro-
gram in late December.
Acounty judge said in October
that Sutton failed to appear for
court and a warrant for her arrest
was issued.
She was taken into custody in
December.
Judge William Amesbury said
Sutton will be lodged at the pris-
on until further order of the
court.
No court date regarding Sut-
tons case has been scheduled.

PITTSBURGH -- Republican
state Sen. Jane Orie, accused of
using her state-fundedlegislative
staff to perform campaign work
for herself anda state judge whos
her sister, was convicted Monday
on 14 counts of theft of services,
conflict of interest and forgery
and likely will be forced from the
Senate.
Orie, acquitted of 10 other
counts including perjury and
election code violations, de-
clined to comment after the ver-
dict but appeared to be shaken.
Her attorney, William Costopou-
los, said after leaving the cour-
troom I can tell you were disap-
pointed, and theres no positive
spin I can put on it.
Orie, 50, was elected to the
Senate in a 2001 special election
to fill an empty seat and was re-
electedthree times. The multiple
convictions, including on five fe-
lony counts, mean shell almost
certainly be removed from office
and lose her state pension.
Prosecutors said Orie, whos
from McCandless, just north of
Pittsburgh, had illegally used her
legislative staff since 2001to ben-
efit herself and state Supreme
Court Justice Joan Orie Melvin,
who wasnt charged.
One legal expert who has fol-
lowed the trial said Ories chanc-
es of successfully appealing are
slim.
Any serious convictions like
this are exactly what the prosecu-
tion sought, and the senator is
now probably going to jail, Uni-
versity of Pittsburgh law profes-
sor JohnBurkoff said. Convicted
of 14 different counts is a lot. Its
serious judgment against her.
Deputy District Attorney Law-
rence Claus declined to say what
kindof sentence hell seek, but he
praised the jury, which deliberat-
ed for five straight days.
The ordeal isnt over for the
close-knit Orie family.
A third sister, Janine Orie, is
expected to stand trial later this
year on charges that she conspir-
ed to misuse the senators staff to
campaign for Melvin and on
charges that she similarly direct-
ed Melvins former Superior
Court staff to work on campaigns
in 2003 and 2009. Shes fighting
the charges.
Melvin was subpoenaed and in
December received a letter from
the Allegheny County grand jury
that recommended charges
against Sen. Orie and Janine
Orie, who remains suspended
from her job as Melvins aide.
Melvin and her attorney have re-
peatedly ignored telephone calls
seeking comment.
The jury heard 18 days of testi-
mony about an investigation that
began in October 2009. Thats
when a University of Pittsburgh
intern complained to District At-
torney Stephen Zappala Jr. that
she had seen Sen. Ories staff do-
ing campaign work for Melvin
just days before her election to
the states highest court.
Prosecutors contend Sen. Orie
launched a cover-up almost im-
mediately by sneaking some po-
litical documents out of her office
in Pittsburghs North Hills sub-
urb and by removing discarded
Melvin poll cards from the trash
outside the office.
Common Pleas Judge Jeffrey
Manning declared a mistrial dur-
ing Ories first trial last March,
saying one document was so ob-
viously fake that even Ray Char-
les could see it. An examination
of the exhibits by a U.S. Secret
Service document expert result-
ed in forgery, perjury and evi-
dence tampering charges.
Sen. Orie convicted on 14 counts
Republican will likely have to
give up her seat in the state
Senate and lose her pension.

PARIS President Nicolas
Sarkozy said Monday that a rad-
ical Frenchman who claimed to
have gunned down Jewish chil-
drenandparatroopers apparently
was not part of a terrorist net-
work, painting the violence as an
isolated attack by an unhinged
monster.
MohamedMerahsaidtopolice
before being killed last week that
he had links to al-Qaida, traveled
to Afghanistan and received
weapons training in the militant-
riddled Pakistani tribal region of
Waziristan. But authorities have
questioned some of Merahs
claims.
There is no (terror) cell, Sar-
kozy, who is campaigning for a
second term, said on France-Bleu
radio Monday. To our knowl-
edge, there is no network.
He described Merah as a lone
wolf and expressed concern
about the processes of self-radi-
calization of lone individuals.
Sarkozy suggested France
shouldnt draw too many conclu-
sions from the killings, which
took the lives of three children, a
rabbi and three paratroopers in
southwestern France in just over
a week. Police say Merahclaimed
responsibility for the killings.
French investigators are look-
ing into whether Mohameds
brother, Abdelkader, was an ac-
complice to the killings, and
whether anyone else might have
been involved.

County.
Drew McLaughlin, Wilkes-
Barre administrator coordinator,
said the police cruiser was not
struck by any rounds. It was not
immediately known how many
shots were fired at the city police
officer.
Walker said there may be an
acquaintance with the victim
andthesuspects but hewas quick
to add the victim does not know
the suspects.
This was not a random situa-
tion, Walker said.
Evidence recovered from in-
side the house and car was proc-
essed by the state police Forensic
Services Unit, Walker said.
The victim described the sus-
pect who forced him into his
house at gunpoint as a black
male, about 6 feet tall, 190-200
pounds, and wearing a black or
dark gray hooded sweatshirt and
blue jeans.
The victim had his eyes cov-
ered and was unable to describe
the second suspect, Walker said.
No injuries were reported.
The house on Church Street is
around the corner from the Ha-
nover GreenPlaygroundonDow-
ney Street and the Hanover
Green Elementary School in
Main Road.
A mother walking her daugh-
ter to school Monday said the
neighborhood is relatively peace-

Something like that happen-

ids and oxygen, organic matter

The macro invertebrates are
really good indicators of the
health of a stream, Paddock
said.
The preliminary findings
yielded no significant differenc-
es above and below the pump-
ing stations, but the students
were unable to achieve a com-
plete sample size because the
September flooding changed
the creek and made access im-
possible.
Because of the depth and ve-
locity of the flow, they couldnt
get to the creek. It was too dan-
gerous, McCraith said. The
strong current scoured the bot-
tom of the creek and the inver-
tebrates had to re-colonize.
There was nothing we could do
when the flood hit.
Weiss said that ideally the
sampling should continue for
several years to reach an accu-
rate conclusion. Although last
years flood prevented data col-
lection for two months, the
group was able to lay the
groundwork for more students
to continue the study.
We still feel there might be a
difference upstream and down-
stream, and we hope this will
continue and more data will be
collected, he said. This was a
great experience for us and the
findings fromany additional da-
ta will be very important for the
health of this stream.
CREEK
said if the banners were too big,
the wind could create pressure
that could damage the streetlight
poles.
Lori Majikes, special events co-
ordinator, said 20 banners will be
placed around Public Square
alone. She held three banners:
oneof JohnWilkes andanother of
Isaac Barre for whomthe city is
named and another of Center

should last two to three years.
The Wilkes and Barre banners
will hang at South Main Street

The U.S. Attorney filed pa-
perwork Monday in federal
court arguing against releasing
former Lackawanna County
Commissioner A.J. Munchak
onbail pending his appeal of his
conviction on corruption-relat-
ed charges.
Munchak was found guilty
Feb. 14 of multiple counts of
bribery and extortion, and sen-
tenced to 84 months in prison
beginning April 3. He filed an
appeal and a motion arguing he
shouldbe releasedonbail pend-
ing that appeal
U.S. Attorney Peter Smith ar-
gues the motion should be de-
nied because Munchaks medi-
cal conditionwhichprevented
his immediate imprisonment --
has apparently improved.
Smith also argues bail should
be denied because Munchak
failed to establish that the ap-
peal is not for the purposes of
delay, or that the appeal
would raise a substantial ques-
tion of lawor fact likely to re-
sult in a reversal of all counts

SWOYERSVILLE -- A for-
mer music teacher at Wyom-
ing Seminary accused with
kissing a girl will face child
corruption charges in Luzerne
County Court.
Robert A. Lugiano Jr., 41, of
Jackson Township, appeared
Monday for a preliminary
hearing before District Judge
David Barilla, who forwarded
charges of corruption of mi-
nors and indecent assault to
county court.
Forty Fort police allege
Lugiano drove a girl from
Pittston Area High School to
Wyoming Seminary Lower
School for a music lesson on
Nov. 11. While inside his office,
the girl alleged, Lugiano asked
her for a hug. While they were
face-to-face, Lugiano kissed
the girl multiple times, accord-
ing to the criminal complaint.
Lugiano was suspended
from Wyoming Seminary when
police alerted the school about
the investigation on Nov. 17.
He has since resigned from
teaching music at the school.
A formal arraignment in
county court is scheduled on
June 1.
Lugiano remains free on
$75,000 unsecured bail.
TUNKHANNOCK -- A Ni-
cholson man was sentenced
Monday in Wyoming County
Court on a drunken driving
crash that claimed the life of a
man in April 2010.
Brett Andrew Dixon, 28, was
sentenced to 22 months to
nine years in state prison. He
pleaded guilty on Feb. 17 to
charges of homicide by vehicle,
simple assault and risking a
catastrophe.
State police at Tunkhannock
said Dixon, driving a 1995
Cadillac, was legally intoxicat-
ed when he crashed head-on
with an SUV driven by Mark
Jenkins, 49, of Nicholson, at
routes 11 and 29 on April 3,
2010.
Two 17-year-old boys, also
residents of Nicholson, who
were in Jenkins vehicle, were
injured. The teens were treat-
ed at Geisinger Community
Medical Center in Scranton.
COURT BRIEFS
PITTSBURGH The num-
ber of gas drilling rigs is declin-
ing in Pennsylvania and nation-
wide, due to a combination of
low natural gas prices and re-
newed interest in oil.
There were 98 drilling rigs in
Pennsylvania during the week
of March 23, according to Baker
Hughes. Thats down from 116
during the summer of 2011.
Many drillers are going back
to oil. Three years ago, there
were about 200 oil drilling rigs
nationwide. There were 1,317
last week.
But experts said that doesnt
mean the natural gas boom is
over.
Now many companies are in-
vesting in pipelines and other
distribution facilities.
The gas-rich Marcellus Shale
has attracted a rush of drilling
since 2008.
The underground formation
covers large parts of Pennsylva-
nia, New York, Ohio and West
Virginia.

PRINGLE -- There will be no
sports again next year at West
Side Career & Technology Cen-
ter after a motion to reinstate
them failed to gain a majority
vote of the schools joint operat-
ing committee.
West Side dropped all sports
last year as a way to save
$109,000 during the budget proc-
ess. School officials said about 96
students playedsports onthe five
teams, though there were some
who played more than one sport.
A coach, several students and
an athlete from another school
district all spoke infavor of bring-
ing sports back at the commit-
tees regular meeting Monday,
but the board split 7-7 on the mo-
tion to reinstate the teams.
Because the motion involved
spending money, it would have
requiredapproval byamajorityof
present board members to pass,
the schools solicitor said.
The vote was split mostly
along sending district lines, with
the representatives from Dallas
and Wyoming Valley West and
two of the Lake-Lehman repre-
sentatives voting against the re-
instatement and the representa-
tives from Wyoming Area and
Northwest Area, along with
Lake-Lehmans Mark Kornoski
voting in favor.
I move that we reinstate the
sports that were here before they
were so rudely taken away from
the kids, said Kornoski as he
moved for the reinstatement.
Board members had little to
say about the matter, beyond
clarifying a few questions from
audience members. But former
assistant baseball coach Mike
Jeschke said losing sports was
detrimental tothekids andunfair
when none of the sending
schools had cut any sports from
their own budgets.
Dallas has a new school and
newfields. Wyoming Valley West
uses everyone elses fields. No
one else has dropped a sport, not
even their eighth-grade pro-
grams, said Jeschke.
Some of them pay five coach-
es for baseball, he said. Our
coaches offered to do it for free
for the kids. I dont understand
this.
Student Ian Nelson said not
having sports dampens school
spirit. He said that although the
West Side students can play on
their sendingschools teams, that
doesnt usually work out well.
We dont have the same
chance toplay, he said. Not hav-
ingsports makes us feel like were
not a school here anymore.
Jordan Palkovic, who attends
Wyoming Valley West and plays
water polo, said his experience
with Crestwood athletes who
tookpart inwater sports at Valley
West after Crestwood did away
with its program showed him
what sports can do for morale.
If those students wanted to
play a sport, they had to play for
Valley West with Crestwood
blood inside them, he said.
Without sports, theres no
sense of school pride, he said.
There are no pep rallies, no spir-
it, and they probably just feel
empty.
Inother business, the boardap-
proved JoAnn Elko as business
office clerk effective April 11.
Physical education teacher Don
Morgan was hired as the physical
education make-up class instruc-
tor for 30hours at $25per hour to
be paid by student tuition.

WILKES-BARRE City fire-
fighters made quick work of a
blaze in a vacant home just yards
away from city fire headquarters
on East Ross Street.
Firemen saw flames coming
through the roof of a two-story
home at 68 Gildersleeve St. from
the second floor of the firehouse
just before 9:30 p.m., called it in
to Luzerne County 911 and
brought a fire engine out of the
garage and around the corner,
said Assistant Fire Chief Ed
Snarski.
Gildersleeve Street is an alley-
way adjacent to the firehouse.
The fire was pretty muchcon-
tained to an upstairs back room
and the (firefighters with) the
first engine knocked down all
the fire, Snarski said.
Snarski said firefighters con-
ducted preliminary and second-
ary searches of the house and
found no one inside.
The home is owned by the
Greek Orthodox Church on East
Ross Street and was scheduled
for demolition. A fire inspector
will try to determine the cause,
he said.
We did see people running
out of the alleyway, but we dont
knowif they were running to tell
us about the fire or if they saw
what happened. It was three
males and they disappeared,
Snarski said. Its a pretty pop-
ular alleyway. It seems theres al-
ways someone using it.
No one was home in the house
next door to the vacant struc-
ture, and it doesnt appear that
home, which is only several feet
away fromthe vacant house, was
damaged, he said.

The Supreme Court Justice commented to Wake
Forest University students about the volume of
filings regarding the Constitutional challenges to the
national Health Care reform law. The court began hearing arguments
Monday.
Ron Paul offers remedy
for steep prices at pump
M
itt Romney is the latest candidate to
join a long line of contenders to prom-
ise $2-per-gallon gas to the American
electorate. Working in the candidates
favor is the fact that the average American
constituent is too unsophisticated to real-
ize that the president has only slightly
more control over gasoline prices than he
does the weather. The American public is
clueless as to how gunboat diplomacy and
money printing have much more to con-
tribute to fuel prices than the presidents
wishful decrees. Neither our current presi-
dent nor any Republican candidate other
than Ron Paul has any will or desire to
keep a lid on these two major contributors
of inflated fuel prices
These candidates know that hell will
freeze over before the soccer moms will
give up their Escalades, Cherokees and
Hummers and cram poor little Johnny and
Suzie into the back seat of a Ford Focus to
head off to practice.
What would many of our own local folks
in Monroe County do with all the extra
time if they couldnt commute two hours
one way into the city five days a week? Is it
any wonder why most of the world views
us as the most arrogant, wasteful and
obese society on Earth. Factor in our gun-
boat diplomacy and SWAT tactics used in
our quest to police the world and ourselves
in search of terrorists under every rock,
and around every corner, and we are also
the most reviled nation in a good part of
the world.
As a believer in the Libertarian philoso-
phy, I am against excessive taxation. I do,
however believe in user taxes such as the
gasoline tax as long as the money is spent
on transportation infrastructure. The indi-
vidual can control some of the cost of this
tax by his or her choice of vehicle. One
needs to look no farther than Europe to
see that its tax on gasoline has prevented
urban sprawl. European cities are safe to
live in and vibrant economically. Pop-
ulations are kept concentrated, so mass
transit thrives and is reliable. Efficient
traffic circles are used instead of wasteful
and dangerous traffic lights/intersections.
As our economy circles the bowl and
awaits the final flush, many people have
asked me if there is any hope this election
cycle to turn the ship around.
Slim to none is my answer. Ron Paul --
the only candidate who believes in the
Constitution, has any clue about the grav-
ity of the economic situation, and knows
that we can no longer afford to be the
worlds policeman -- has been written off as
a kook or ignored by the mainstream
media.
Some of you may call me a cynic, others
may call me an America hater. My record
proves that I am neither. I tell it like it is. I
am guilty of knowing a little too much
about the world and how and why this
country was founded. I dont like what I
see.

SEND US YOUR OPINION
K
In January 2011, I was proud
to cast my vote to repeal the
presidents health care law,
one of the most job-sapping
laws ever enacted in our
nation.
I still cannot comprehend
the wisdom of government-run health care.
Countries that have government health care
are dramatically overhauling their national-
ized programs because they are too costly
and provide inferior patient care. Citizens
from those countries who can afford it come
to the United States bypassing bureaucracy
and lines in their own nations for critical
procedures and treatments.
These governments and the patients who
languish under government-run health care
programs know what we will learn far too
late the system is unsustainable.
That is why, since I was sworn into office,
I voted 25 times to repeal, cut funding or
dismantle this law.
Right now, during the early implementa-
tion phases of the health care law, were
starting to see exactly how it will hurt the
American people.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget
Office (CBO) originally said President Oba-
mas health care law would cost $938 billion
from 2010 to 2019. Just a few weeks ago,
they upped that estimate to $1.76 trillion
through 2022 more than $800 billion for
just three years of the program.
The CBO states the law will result in $525
billion in new taxes, fees and penalties on
Americas families and small businesses.
According to a national poll conducted by
Bloomberg Businessweek, 30 percent of
employers surveyed said they definitely
plan to drop health care insurance coverage
for employees in 2014. More than 20 million
Americans could lose employer-sponsored
health care, according to the CBO.
And who will insure those newly unin-
sured Americans?
The federal government, of course.
Already, there was a $682 increase in per-
person health care costs from 2011 to 2012,
according to the TowersWatson/National
Business Group on Health Employer Survey
on Purchasing Value in Health Care.
There will be $500 billion in Medicare
cuts, according to the Washington Post.
Diverting half a billion dollars from Medi-
care to pay for this national healthcare pro-
gram disproportionately hurts senior citi-
zens who have earned those benefits.
And most people dont know that Presi-
dent Obamas health care law includes the
creation of IPAB, a panel of 15 unelected
bureaucrats who will determine whether or
not a doctor who accepts Medicare gets paid
to perform procedures or exams. This takes
healthcare decisions away from doctors and
their patients and puts them in the hands of
government bureaucrats who are more con-
cerned with the bottom line than the health
of Medicare patients.
Despite partisan rhetoric to the contrary,
my belief that the presidents health care law
must be repealed has nothing to do with
politics and everything to do with standing
up for the doctor-patient relationship and the
freedom of Americans to make their own
healthcare decisions.
No one can argue that Americas health
care system is in need of repair. Costs contin-
ue to spiral upwards. Washingtons inability
to pass meaningful reform has put insurance
premiums and prescription drugs out of
reach for many Americans. The proliferation
of medical malpractice claims has led to an
insurance crisis for doctors and medical
professionals.
Everyone agrees that Americans should
have access to affordable, quality health care.
That can be done, for instance, by allowing
health insurance to be purchased across
state lines. Increased competition will lower
the cost of coverage.
Government-run health care is not the
answer.
We are making a terrible mistake by giv-
ing the government control over one-sixth of
our economy and placing life-affecting
health decisions in the hands of bureaucrats
instead of physicians.
Rather than celebrating the second anni-
versary of the deeply-flawed Patient Protec-
tion and Affordable Care Act, Congress and
our nation would be better served throwing
this dangerous law an early retirement party.

COMMENTARY
U . S . R E P . L O U B A R L E T T A
Health care reform law wont fix insurance problems
T
HE FEDERAL Dis-
close Act is back in
play, and none too
soon, as newly empo-
wered super PACs strut their
stuff in the ugliest Republican
primaries in recent memory.
Senate Democrats last week
reintroduced the act in the
same simplified form intro-
ducedearlier intheHouse. The
basic aim is to build in at least
some accountability for the su-
per PACs, which gained trac-
tion after the U.S. Supreme
Court ruled enigmatically in
the Citizens United case that
corporations are people for the
purposes of political contribu-
tions. (Invite one to dinner this
weekend.)
Since the court made it all
but impossible to regulate cor-
porateinfluenceoncampaigns,
the only thing left is requiring
swift and thorough disclosure.
At least voters could find out
instantly whos behind those
ads slamming Mitt Romney for
being a health care sympathiz-
er and Gingrich for being
Newt. Thenthey canweighthe
value of the hits.
The Act would require re-
porting of contributions within
24 hours, force major donors to
be named in ads and this is
huge require corporations
and other groups, such as labor
unions, totell shareholders and
members whom or what
theyre supporting.
Its hard to imagine politic-
ians voting against public dis-
closure in an election year. And
its hard to imagine that most
Republicans are thrilled with
their new corporate people,
given this primary season. But
weve been surprised before.

OTHER OPINION: DISCLOSE ACT
Shed some light
on super PACs
A
MOMENT, please,
for recognition of the
areas unsung scho-
lastic competitors:
spellers, science Olympians,
math wizards, history buffs,
debaters and orators, and all
others who vie in academic
competitions too often over-
looked.
On Saturday some 200 stu-
dents from17 school
districts gathered at
Penn State Wilkes-
Barre for the region-
al National History
Day competition.
These youngsters
may spend months
researching past
events so they can create dis-
plays and videos or present
readings and re-enactments.
On March 8, similar num-
bers arrived on the same cam-
pus for the regional Science
Olympiad, featuring events
ranging from construction and
testingof trebuchets andbottle
rockets to the less photogenic
but no less difficult microbe or
water quality analysis.
OnMarch12, ignoring a sun-
ny Sunday afternoon, 21 stu-
dents gathered at the Wood-
lands Inn and Resort in Plains
Township for the regional
Scripps Spelling Bee, spon-
sored by this paper. The win-
ner DevinReed, a sixth-grade
student at Hazleton Areas
Drums Elementary School
will head to Washington, D.C.,
to vie for the national title.
It is common for local stu-
dents to reach great heights in
academic contests. The reign-
ing National Spelling Bee
championis Sukanya Roy, then
a student at Abington Heights
Middle School, now enrolled
at Wyoming Seminary.
In 2007, Hazletons Keenan
Monks, then 13, won the state
Mathcounts title. Keenanwent
on to win sixth
place in the 2011
national Intel Sci-
ence Talent
Search. His topic,
supersingular el-
liptic curves.
The successes
of these scholastic
achievers stretch far and wide.
Attorney Kim Borland has
built a Speech and Debate
Team at Meyers High School
that routinely reaches state
competition. Wyoming Valley
West School District has made
a habit of doing well in Nation-
al History Day. Local students
have placed near the top in na-
tional competitions conducted
through the NASA Endeavour
program.
The list is long, andtoooften
such achievements get lost in
talk of athletic successes, prop-
erty taxes, teacher contracts
and, recently, corruption.
So, heres a moment for the
local students who vie in the
contests that, frankly, reflect
the primary purpose for going
to school in the first place: Aca-
demics.

tion that it was too soon for a de-
cision.
Outside the packed cour-
troom, marching and singing
demonstrators on both sides
including doctors in white coats,
Republican presidential candi-
date Rick Santorum and even a
brass quartet voiced their ea-
gerness for the court to either up-
hold or throw out the largest ex-
pansion in the nations social
safety net since Medicare was en-
acted in 1965.
Todays arguments will focus
onthe heart of the case, the provi-
sion that aims to extend medical
insurance to 30 million more
Americans by requiringeveryone
to carry insurance or pay a penal-
ty.
A decision is expected by late
June as Obama fights for re-elec-
tion. All of his Republican chal-
lengers oppose the lawandprom-
ise its repeal if the high court
hasnt struck it down in the
meantime.
On Monday, the justices took
on the question of whether an ob-
scure tax law could derail the
case.
The 19th century law bars tax
disputes from being heard in the
courts before the taxes have been
paid.
Under the newhealth care law,
Americans who dont purchase
health insurance would have to
report that omission on their tax
returns for 2014 and would pay a
penalty along with federal in-
come tax on returns due by April
2015. Among the issues facing
the court is whether that penalty
is a tax.
Solicitor General Donald Ver-
rilli Jr., defending the health law,
urged the court to focus on what
he called the issues of great mo-
ment at the heart of the case.
The 26 states and a small busi-
ness group challenging the law
also want the court to go ahead
and decide on its constitutional-
ity without delay.
But one lower court that heard
the case, the federal appeals
court in Richmond, Va., has said
the challenge is premature. No
justice seemed likely to buy that
argument Monday.
The justices fired two dozen
questions in less than a half hour
at Washington attorney Robert
Long, who was defending the ap-
peals court ruling.
What is the parade of horri-
bles? asked Justice Sonia Soto-
mayor, if the court were to decide
the penalties were not a tax and
the health care case went for-
ward? Long suggested that could
encourage more challenges to
the long-standing system in
which the general rule is that tax-
payers must pay a disputed tax
before they can go to court.
Verrilli said Mondays argu-
ment dealt with the meaning of
the word in the context of the
19th century law, the Anti-Injunc-
tion Act. Todays session will ex-
plore Congress power to impose
the insurance requirement and
penalty. In that setting, he said,
Congress has the authority under
the Constitution to lay and col-
lect taxes, including the penalty
for not having insurance.
Outside the court building,
about 100 supporters of the law
walked in a circle holding signs
that read, Protect my health-
care, and chanting, Care for
you, care for me, care for every
family. A half-dozen opponents
shouted, We love the Constitu-
tion!
Republican presidential candi-
date Rick Santorum was there,
too, declaring anew that GOP
front-runner Mitt Romney has no
standing to challenge Obama on
the law since Massachusetts
passed a somewhat similar ver-
sionwhenRomneywas governor.
Santorum said, If you really
want Obamacare repealed theres
only one person who can make
that happen.
Said Romney, on CNN, If Im
elected president I will repeal
Obamacare. And I will stop it in
its tracks on Day One. I believe
its unconstitutional. .
JUSTICES
court activity, you can not get off
the track because this is the law.
Richard Kwei, chief operating
officer for Danville-based Geisin-
ger Health Plan, said much has
been implemented since the law
was passed including annual and
lifetime limits, preventive servic-
es, expansion of coverage for de-
pendents uptoage26andremoval
of pre-existing conditions under
age 19.
Where those new provisions
would stand if the law is struck
down is unclear, Kwei said.
We would evaluate the provi-
sions and mandates that have al-
ready been put into place to make
sure these meet our members
needs, he noted.
While Monday marked the first
of whats scheduled to be three
days of arguments before the top
court, Kocklersaiditslikelyadeci-
sion wont be issued until June.
Wecant affordtostandstill un-
til then, she said. With mandated
changes set in 2013 and 2014, pol-
icy coverage must be examined
now.
In 2014, the law:
Will prohibit health plans
from imposing annual limits on
theamount of coverageanindivid-
ual may receive.
Will create state-based Amer-
ican Health Exchanges and Small
Business Options Program, in ef-
fect, a form of a health insurance
exchangeforindividualsandsmall
businesses with up to100 employ-
ees.
Will impose an employer
mandate, meaning businesses
must eitherofferanacceptablelev-
el of health insurance coverage or
pay a penalty.
Will impose a similar require-
ment that individuals obtain
health insurance coverage or pay
an annual penalty.
Its that final issuethat is thekey
cog in the entire argument for
health care cost reform, Kockler
said.
Take out that piece of the man-
date and the rest of the pieces
dont fit, Kockler said. She said
the individual mandate portion of
the law that requires everyone to
be insured or pay a penalty is the
funding source that would reform
healthcarefinancing. Shesaidthat
without it the overhaul actually
makes health care more costly
rather than less.
Without the individual man-
date, many younger, healthier
Americans may choose to forgo
health insurance, leaving an older,
less healthy population in the in-
surance pool. This could negativ-
ely impact the cost of insurance,
Kwei said.
Itstoospeculativetosayhowin-
surers, including Blue Cross,
would deal with costs if the indi-
vidual mandateportionwasstrick-
en fromthe law. Its hard to judge
something that hasnt happened
yet, Kockler said.
Even if the Supreme Court al-
lows the lawto stand, she said the
book will not be closed on the top-
ic.
Imnot entirelyconfident the
court decisionwouldbe the endof
the issue, Kockler said, noting
that Congress couldtakeuprepeal
legislation and other court cases
could emerge.
Efforts to convince Congress to
do just that have been ongoing
since before the bill was signed in-
to law.
Jennifer Stefano, the Pennsylva-
nia director for Americans for
Prosperity, said the lawis uncon-
stitutional. It is an assault on our
families, our health and our lives.
That group is taking more than a
dozen buses to Washington today
to participate in a Hands Off My
Healthcare Rally. U.S. Sen. Pat
Toomey, R-Zionsville, is one of the
featured speakers.
We will not stop fighting until
this unconstitutional lawis struck
downbytheSupremeCourt or ful-
ly repealed by the Congress, Ste-
fano said.
That is agoodcoursetotake, ac-
cording to U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta,
R-Hazleton. Hehas voted25times
since the bill became law to sup-
port repealing, defunding or dis-
mantling it.
In an op-ed piece he submitted
toTheTimes Leader, Barlettasaid
rather than celebrating the sec-
ond anniversary of the deeply-
flawed Patient Protection and Af-
fordable Care Act, Congress and
our nation would be better served
throwing this dangerous law an
early retirement party.
Allen Minor, a Misercordia Uni-
versity professor of business who
specializes in health care, dis-
agreed with those who urge re-
peal.
If they repeal, what do we go
backto? What we hadbefore is no-
where near as good as we have it
now, as bad as it is, Minor said.

small manufacturing businesses

I feel like Im home, Vonder-
heid said of the new business
that he and a group of investors
purchased. My brain under-
stood small manufacturing. He
declined to name the investors
but said some are from Luzerne
County, others are from the Le-
wisburgarea. He alsodeclinedto
disclose the purchase price.
Vonderheid said the staff of 20
at CCS is hard working and hes
enjoying learning the ropes of
something new. He said a steel
container company seemed like
a wise investment.
According to the companys
website, CCS has the ability to
manufacture nearly any kind of
steel container, but focuses its
expertise on providing quality
roll-off solutions for the gas and
oil, construction & demolition,
municipal and private waste,
scrap and recycling industries.
Its a consistent and stable
market. Steel containers rust,
they need to be replaced, Von-
derheid said. He said the burge-
oning natural gas business is
clearly a growing market
share.
CHAMBER
Since Todd Vonderheid has left
the Greater Wilkes-Barre Growth
Partnership, the organization
has shed staff its down to just
four full-time employees and
one of them, Director of Special
Projects Tom Williams, has
given notice that hell be leav-
ing soon, too.
A nationwide search to find a
successor was launched shortly
after Vonderheid announced he
was leaving.
As months went by, the search
committee winnowed the appli-
cant pool down to 17 from 120
and then to six, four, two and
finally one, while goals of filling
the post by Thanksgiving, De-
cember and February passed.
In February, the chambers
board, headed by Geisinger
Health Plan executive Conrad
Schintz, finally offered the posi-
tion to an unidentified man
Schintz said worked in an eco-
nomic development capacity in
metropolitan New York. But that
individual rescinded his candi-
dacy after receiving an im-
proved contract from his pre-
sent employer.
So the board decided to autho-
rize advertising the position
once again with the hope a new
pool of candidates would apply.
Schintz said 60 people from
across the country have applied
for the position this time
around and four interviews have
been conducted. The goal for
completing the search is May.

velopment funding obtained to

City officials had removed resi-
dents from the row homes in
1999 because of building code
violations, and the structures
became a magnet for the home-
less and
partying
teens.
Mayor
Tom
Leighton
said at the
time that
several de-
velopers
were inter-
ested in the
land for
apartments
or condos.
The mayor
said Mon-
day he does
not know if
the city will
submit a
bid as it has
on several
other prop-
erties in the
past.
We al-
ways evaluate properties we
think would be beneficial. Im
sure well definitely be interest-
ed in seeing what the potential
sales price might be, Leighton
said.
The building that once
housed the Ground Round at
the Laurel Mall in Hazle Town-
ship is also among the 40 free-
and-clear listings on April 12.
Bids for the building, which sits
on leased land, start around
$1,100.
Most of the roughly 220 up-
coming upset sale listings stem
from owners who defaulted on
repayment plans they negotiat-
ed to get removed from the No-
vember upset sale, said John
Rodgers, of Northeast Revenue.
In the past, payment plan de-
faulters would be off the hook
until an annual upset sale was
held in the fall, but Northeast
Revenue stopped that county
practice by holding sales more
often.
Rodgers said his company al-
so aggressively pushes to sell
properties in inactive bankrupt-
cy proceedings.
Were starting to dwindle
down the long-term problems
that have been here forever. We
have fewer multiyear delinquen-
cies, he said.
Properties are supposed to be
auctioned if taxes have gone un-
paid for two years. To get out of
a sale, property owners must
pay taxes owed, file for bank-
ruptcy or convince a judge to
grant more time.
Four commercial properties
owned by Hazleton area devel-
oper James Lagana and a mobile
home park belonging to Lagana
Enterprises Inc. all in Hazle
Township -- are slated for the
April 12 upset sale.
Lagana had obtained court or-
ders to get these properties out
of past sales.
His properties listed in the
auction, along with the amount
of back taxes owed: Holly Lynn
Mobile Home Park, $27,895; an
Airport Beltway commercial ga-
rage, $9,115; and three commer-
cial office and retail buildings,
also on the Airport Beltway --
the Laurel Professional Center,
$32,087; the Beltway Commons,
$81,356; and the Franklin Corpo-
rate Center, $57,289.
Some other commercial prop-
erties in the upset listing along
with the minimumstarting bids:
The former Hart Restaurant
on Hazle Street in Wilkes-Barre,
owned by Fidelity Deposit and
Discount Bank, $19,185.
A retail building on South
Main Street in Wilkes-Barre
owned by Then You Win Inc.
that has housed Rides &

We feel like when people can

percent beef.
Federal regulators say the am-
monia-treated filler, known in
the industry as lean, finely tex-
tured beef, meets food safety
standards. But critics say the
product could be unsafe and is
an unappetizing example of in-
dustrialized food production.
The low-cost ingredient is
made from fatty bits of meat left
over from other cuts. The bits
are heated and spun to remove
most of the fat. The lean mix
then is compressed into blocks
for use in ground meat. The
product is exposed to ammoni-
um hydroxide gas to kill bacte-
ria, such as E. coli and salmonel-
la.
The result is a product that is
as much as 97 percent lean beef,
Letch said.
The product has been used for
years, but it wasnt until earlier
this month that social media
suddenly exploded with worry
andanonlinepetitionseekingits
ouster from schools garnered
hundreds of thousands of sup-
porters. The U.S. Department of
Agriculture decided to allow
school districts to stop using it
and some retail chains have
pulled products containing it
from their shelves.
About 200 employees at each
of the three plants will get full
salary and benefits for 60 days
during the suspension, Letch
said. The plant in Amarillo pro-
duced about 200,000 pounds a
day, while the Kansas and Iowa
plants each produced about
350,000 pounds a day.

H
is swing appeared so easy and
so smooth, it fit perfectly in the
serenity of such a beautifully
sunny and warm Florida day that
seemed fit for the front of a postcard.
It was an afternoon Dominic Brown
could write home about.
All because he kept ruining the tran-
quility.
Each ball Brown hit kept jolting
violently off his bat, almost as if hed
inserted some type of electrical outlet
into its barrel.
Its hard to say anyone was shocked.
This is the kind of performance the
Philadelphia Phillies envisioned for
Brown, who ended up a double shy of
hitting for the cycle Monday.
But he did it against the Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre Yankees in a minor league
game played on Richie Ashburn Field
at the Carpenter Complex, not for the
Phillies at their spring training home of
Bright House Field.
Thats where Brown planned to be,
until the Phillies optioned him to their
Triple-A Lehigh Valley team on Friday.
Instead of sulking about the demo-
tion, though, Brown came out swing-
ing.
Im just having fun, Brown said.
Not like last spring.
The Phillies thought Brown was
ready to be their next right fielder, so
they didnt even consider spending the
kind of insane money the Washington
Nationals did to land Jayson Werth.
But Brown couldnt make the jump
from the minors to the major leagues.
He struggled mightily at the start of
spring training in 2011, and the Phillies
sent him back to play for Triple-A Le-
high Valley for most of last season. He
hit well there, but the 6-foot-5, 200-
pound outfielder batted just .245 with
five homers and 19 RBI in 56 games for
the Phillies last season.
They wanted more production out of
him.
And the 24-year-old prospect gave
that to the Phillies in flashes this
spring, hitting .300 with a homer, two
doubles and two RBI. But he played in
just seven spring games this month
while battling an assortment of injuries
that kept him out of the lineup.
I know a little more what to ex-
pect, Brown said. Ive been nicked up
a little more this spring. Im just going
out there and playing every day the
best I can.
His best overwhelmed the Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre Yankees in a minor league
exhibition game.
Brown took a pitch from Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre starter Shaeffer Hall high
over the right field wall for a homer
that produced the games first run in
the first inning.
Then Brown followed that with a
laser-like shot back through the box
that nearly ripped Halls legs off before
landing in center field for a single. And
when ambidextrous pitcher Pat Ven-
ditte took the mound for Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre, Browns shot to right
field took off for a triple in the sixth
inning.
His bid for the cycle ended in the
eighth inning with a ground out that
left Brown groaning.
Just beyond the left field wall where
Brown stood, he could hear the roar of
the crowd watching the Phillies play
the Boston Red Sox at the same time.
But he doesnt have time to think
about what could have been, or what
could be, right now.
Im not thinking about it at all,
Brown said. I leave that to Ruben
(Phillies general manager Amaro) and
those guys. Im concerned with just
playing right now.
Its the only way to break through
the haze of a still-promising career and
make his outlook seem nearly as per-
fect as the day.

STATE COLLEGE Bill OBrien has
not watched film of Penn States offense
from last season. And he doesnt ever
plan to.
Followersof theprogramgrimlynodat
that sentiment -- Penn States newcoach
surely isnt alone in his vow. The Nittany
Lions finished 95th in the nation in total
offense and were ranked even worse in
scoring offense at 110 out of 120 FBS
teams.
ForOBrien, however, itsnot about the
numbers. He simply wants to head into
first official practices at Penn State with-
out any preconceived notions of his ros-
ter.
Oneof thethings I wantedtodowhen
I got here was again start with a clean
slatewiththeseguys, OBriensaidMon-
dayinhis first press conferenceat Beaver
Stadium, hours before the Lions opened
spring ball. I didnt want to make any
judgments on what they did on the foot-
ball field, especially offensively, with not
really knowing what they were doing
scheme-wise offensively and not really
knowing how they were coaching it and
all those different things.
I just wantedto start evaluating them
in the winter conditioning and then now
in spring practice. I wanted to start my

DALLAS So much for that nice
weather.
Dallas and Holy Redeemer opened
the final season of Wyoming Valley
Conference girls soccer in the spring
under conditions more suited for a
late-season high school football game.
With wind gusts reported over 40
mph causing a sub-freezing temper-
ature, Dallas used a pair of goals from
each of its two top players to defeat Re-
deemer 4-1.
Ill just say were happy to get a win
and move on, Dallas coach Chris
Scharff said. What
was it, 30 mph winds,
then when it gusts 40
mph winds? It was ve-
ry hard to play. Im
just glad we won the
game and got
through.
Neither teamstuckaroundvery long
after completion. Accuweather.com
posted the area for wind gusts up to 42
mph, making the temperature feel like
22 degrees. Both had a factor on the
play as the teams contended with a
crosswind blowing toward the elemen-
tary school that either snappedthe cor-
ner flags to attention or bent themcon-
siderably.
It was horrible, Dallas junior for-
ward Ashley Dunbar said. Youd kick
the ball and it would just go in the op-
posite direction.
Dunbar set up the go-ahead goal as
time expired in the first half. She broke
free on a run through the right part of
thepenaltyareaandwas tripped. Anof-
ficial called for a penalty kick just be-
fore the horn sounded to end the half.
Colleen McDonald converted the
penalty kick with a lowliner inside the

REDEEMER
FLORHAMPARK, N.J. TimTebow
laughed a fewtimes, smiled steadily and
stayed polite and composed.
If being surrounded by dozens of cam-
eras and scores of media people made
him nervous, the New York Jets new
backup quarterback didnt show it.
He was cool and calm exactly how
he looked during those hair-raising
comebacks last season with the Denver
Broncos.
His message: Im here to help, not to
create another Jets controversy.
Its an honor for all of you to showup
to hear me say a few words, a grinning
Tebow told a pack of more than 200 re-
porters.
Asked what he thought about the
mediacrush, hesaid: I reallydont think
it will be much of a distraction because,
honestly, I will try not to pay too much
attention to it.
Good thing, because it will surely be
around 24/7. Monday was only the be-
ginning. Even though both he and Mark
Sanchez, the starting quarterback, dont
want more drama.
Tebow spoke for more than 30 min-
utes at a news conference held in the
teams field house because the media
turnout was so massive it couldnt be ac-
commodated in the normal press room.
It was hardly a run-of-the-mill meet-and-
greet, with the star of the

NFL Commissioner Roger
Goodell might allowSeanPayton
to coach the Saints while he ap-
peals his season-long suspension
for his role in the teams bounties
program.
I saidinalettertheyhavetoap-
peal byApril 2, I believe, Goodell
said Monday at the owners meet-
ings in PalmBeach, Fla. If he de-
cides to appeal, I probably will al-
low him to continue and I would
expedite the hearing and I would
expedite my decision.
We did meet twice and went
throughtheinformation. If hehas
something else for me to consid-
er, I will.
Paytons agent, Donald Yee,
said no deci-
sions have been
made about an
appeal by his
client.
Sean fully
supports the
leagues player
safety goals,
Yee said. Giventhis, he probably
wont address the entire league
when he arrives at the owners
meetings.
Saints spokesman Greg Bensel
said Payton was expected to
speak later this week at the meet-
ings. NFC coaches are scheduled
to meet the media Wednesday
morning. Payton has not ad-
dressed the media since the sus-
pension, but has issued two writ-
ten statements apologizing for
the bounty system.
Goodell also is waiting for rec-
ommendations from the players
union before punishing any play-
ers for participating in the three-
year bounty systemthat targeted
opponents for bighits. Hehas dis-
cussed the bounties with NFLPA
leader DeMaurice Smith.
Goodell added the league ap-
proached the Saints before their
playoff game with the Lions in Ja-
nuary and warned them to make
sure the bounties had ceased. He
sent Jeff Pash, the NFLs lead
counsel, and Jeffrey Miller, its di-
rector of security, to speak with
owner TomBenson.
The point was to make it clear
we had newand credible info and
heshouldmakeit extremelyclear
with the game the next day there
should be no bounty system in
place, Goodell said.
Asked if Paytons punishment
was as much for lying to himas it
was for the actual bounties pro-
gram, Goodell toldapackednews
conference about a pattern of un-
truths.
This is a violation of a very se-
rious rule, Goodell said. We
have made player healthandsafe-
ty very clear as a priority. During
the process of when this first was
raised two years ago, there were
denials. They were not forthright
and that continued through our
investigation.
This is something with zero
tolerance andis not acceptable.
The leagues investigation is
continuing, Goodell added.
We will continue to follow on
any information we have, he
said, andwill look for violations.
If we get info, we will followonit.
Lets be clear. We discussed it
withthe clubs today andI think it
is fair to say non-contract bonus
payments were happening
around the league ... and thatll
discontinue.
Goodell said the Saints are free
to go outside the organization to
hire a coach. Paytons assistant

given a six-game suspension,
while general manager Mickey
Loomis received eight games.

JUPITER, Fla. David
Wright singled and made a fine
fielding play in his first spring
training game, helping the New
York Mets beat the St. Louis
Cardinals 6-3 Monday.
Wright had missed the entire

because of a torn abdominal
muscle. He lined Jake West-
brooks full-count pitch into left

Mets Wright sees
first action of year
The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA Martin
St. Louis scored the go-ahead
goal early in the third period,
Steven Stamkos notched his
team-record 53rd goal and the
Tampa Bay Lightning beat the
Philadelphia Flyers 5-3 on Mon-
day night.
Ryan Malone and J.T. Wyman
also had goals to help the Light-
ning win their third straight
game. Its a little too late for
Tampa, which is 11th in the
Eastern Conference and seven
points out of a playoff spot with
seven games remaining.
Wayne Simmonds, Matt Read
and Scott Hartnell scored Phila-
delphias goals. The Flyers lost
for just the third time in 14
games this month. Theyve
already clinched a playoff berth,
but are four points behind Pitts-
burgh for fourth place and the
home-ice advantage in the first
round that goes with it.
Dwayne Roloson stopped 35
shots, outplaying Ilya Bryz-
galov. The Lightning had just 11
shots through the first 52 min-
utes, scoring on three of them.
Bryzgalov let the first shot he
saw go in for the second time in
three games, and the Flyers fell
behind 1-0 for the 16th time in
21 games.
St. Louis put the Lightning
up 3-2 on a breakaway goal 2:27
into the third. St. Louis got in
front of Philadelphias defense,
took an outlet pass from Tim
Wallace, skated in and beat
Bryzgalov by lifting a shot just
under the crossbar.
Bryzgalov hadnt allowed
more than two goals in his past
11 games.
There was nothing Bryzgalov
could do on the fourth goal.
Matt Carle turned the puck
over behind the Flyers net and
Wyman poked it in behind an
unsuspecting Bryzgalov.
That turned out to be a crit-
ical goal because Hartnell fired
a slap shot between Rolosons
legs to cut it to 4-3 with 1:13
left. Tom Pyatts empty-net goal
then sealed the win for the
Lightning.
Trailing 2-0 for the fourth
time in the past five games, the
Flyers started their comeback
early in the second when Sim-
monds scored his first goal in
17 games. Simmonds started a
breakaway along the left wing,
played give-and-go with Bray-
den Schenn and tipped a shot
in off a centering pass.
Red Wings 7, Blue Jackets 2
DETROIT Tomas Holm-
strom scored two goals and the
Detroit Red Wings earned a
postseason berth for a team-
record 21st consecutive year
with a win over the Columbus
Blue Jackets.
Detroit broke its team record
of 20 straight years of reaching
the playoffs set from1939-58.
Detroits playoff streak is the
longest active run in profession-
al sports.
The NBAs San Antonio
Spurs are expected to extend
their playoff streak to 15 years;
the Philadelphia Phillies have
been in five straight postsea-
sons in baseball; and the Balti-
more Ravens have been in the
NFL playoffs four consecutive
years.
Holmstrom scored twice to
help the Red Wings take a 4-0
lead less than 10 minutes into
the game. They had a 6-0 cush-
ion midway through the second
period and a seven-goal lead
early in the third. Columbus is
in last place in the NHL with 55
points.

total in two months without the injured
Amare Stoudemire and Jeremy Lin, and
the New York Knicks beat the Milwaukee
Bucks 89-80 on Monday night to increase
their lead for the final Eastern Conference
playoff berth.
Shortly after learning Stoudemire was
lost indefinitely with a bulging disk in his
back, the Knicks opened a 2 1/2-game lead
over the Bucks and prevented Milwaukee
from winning the season series and clinch-
ing the tiebreaker if they finish with the
same record.

and finally got the signature win they have
sought since the All-Star break.
LeBron James had 24 points and nine
rebounds, and Dwyane Wade had 24 points
and six assists for Miami.
The Heat, coming off a 103-87 loss at
Oklahoma City on Sunday night, lost by
double digits in back-to-back games for the
first time this season. Miami (35-13) lost
for the fourth time in eight games overall
and is running out of time to catch Chicago
(40-10) for the best record in the Eastern
Conference.
Nuggets 108, Bulls 91
CHICAGO Ty Lawson tied a season
high with 27 points, Arron Afflalo added 22
and the Denver Nuggets shot 50 percent
Monday night to beat the Chicago Bulls
108-91.

assists for the Nuggets, who are scrapping
for a playoff spot in the West.
Celtics 102, Bobcats 95
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Paul Pierce
scored a season-high 36 points and Boston
moved into a first-place tie with Philadel-
phia 76ers in the Atlantic Division.
Pierce shot 10 of 20 from the field, made
15 of 18 free throws and added 10 rebounds
and four assists.
Pierce has scored 20 or more points in
five of the past six games and is averaging
22.3 points per game during March.
Kevin Garnett had 24 points for the
Celtics.
Jazz 105, Nets 84

WASHINGTON Rodney Stuckey
scored half of his 24 points in the fourth
quarter, including the winning 20-foot
jumper with 0.2 seconds left, and Detroit
ended a five-game losing streak by erasing

TORONTO Ryan Anderson made a
career-best eight 3-pointers and finished

career-high 24 points and Earl Boykins hit
four free throws for Houston late in over-

The skys the limit for Man-
dissa Marshall. But it will be a
tough climb to get to the top.
Marshall (Crestwood) has
started the outdoor season in
great style for the George
Mason womens team. She
competes in the pole vault and
shattered her own school mark
in the season opener (13-6 )
and then came back to shatter
that mark in the Washington
& Lee/VMI Track Carnival
last Saturday in Lexington, Va.
She cleared 14-11/4. That
effort put her into the elite of
women college pole vaulters in
the country.
Obviously were thrilled
with the progress Mandissa is
making, coach Andrew Ge-
rard said. We had red-shirted
her indoors in order to make
some technical and training
improvements and that time is
really paying off right now.
Marshall has some big dates
down the road. After eight
more regular-season meets,
the 5-foot-8 junior has four
championship meets at the
end of the season, including
the NCAA Championships
June 6-9 in Des Moines, IA.
And, if all goes well, she could
add another date the USA
Track & Field Olympic Trials
June 22-July 1 in Eugene, Ore-
gon.
Our goals for her this sea-
son have always centered on
getting back to the NCAA
Championships and being at
her best there. And her recent
success doesnt really change
that but does open up the
possibility of competing in the
Olympic Trails, Gerard said.
That would be a tremendous
accomplishment in and of
itself.
Marshall finished 19th in the
NCAA Championships last
season with a 12-9 effort.
Her vault last weekend would
have put her in fourth place.
Getting to the Olympic
Trials would be a standout
accomplishment. Making the
U.S. Olympic team would be
much tougher. America has
two of the top pole vaulters in
the world in Jenn Suhr (Adi-
das) who has cleared 16-1/2
and Kylie Hutson (Indiana
State) who has cleared 14-7 .
RELIEF FOR AUSTIN
Senior Tyler Austin (Tunk-
hannock) started his first
game with the Towson base-
ball team but since that time,
hes become one of the top
relief pitchers on the squad.
Austin gave up seven hits
and five earned runs in three
innings in his start but coming
out of the bullpen the next 13
games, hes worked 14.1 in-
nings and given up 12 hits and
five earned runs. Hes walked
eight and struck out 22. His
earned run average has drop-
ped to 4.22.
Tylers success has oc-
curred with the much im-
proved command of his slider,
coach Mike Gottlieb said.
With that, hes extremely
tough on righty hitters and has
become a strikeout pitcher.
Austin, who leads the team
with 14 appearances, picked up
a victory when he worked 2
1/3 innings and didnt give up
a hit or a run while walking
one and striking out two in a
recent 3-2 decision over Virgin-
ia Commonwealth.
BERTONI TURNS IT
AROUND After starting the
season 0-7, freshman Sarah
Bertoni has won four straight
games for the Millersville
softball team.
Bertoni (Greater Nanticoke
Area) kicked off the winning
streak by tossing the first
no-hitter in Millersville softball
history a 7-0 triumph over
Philadelphia University. She
followed that up with a 6-1
victory over Holy Family (six
hits, an earned run, no walks
and five strikeouts) and a
one-hit 3-0 triumph over West
Chester.
Last Sunday, the 5-foot-6
right-hander worked 5 1/3
innings and got credit for a 3-2
victory over East Stroudsburg.
On the season, Bertoni has
pitched in 13 games and start-
ed 12 with seven complete
games. Shes worked 72.2
innings and has given up 86
hits and 43 runs, 35 earned.
Shes walked 11 and struck out
45. Her earned run average has
dropped to 4.43.
YANORA DOING THE JOB
Freshman Erika Yanora
(Tunkhannock) is having a
standout first year both at the
plate and in the field for the
Bloomsburg softball team.
Yanora is hitting .364 (24-
for-66) with two doubles, a
triple, 10 runs scored and 15
RBI. In the field, shes handled
41 chances without an error.
Erika has been outstand-
ing, coach Susan Kocher said.
Shes fundamentally sound
and plays with the composure
of a senior. Offensively, she
brings power and speed to our
lineup. Defensively, shes ex-
tremely versatile because of
her talent and composure.
Sophomore Mandi Black
(Northwest Area) is also a
member of the squad. A right-
handed pitcher, shes 3-2 with
a 2.17 earned run average. In
seven games and six starts, she
has four complete games and a
shutout (8-0 over Winston-
Salem State). Shes worked 29
innings and given up 21 hits
and 14 runs, nine earned, with
nine walks and 24 strikeouts.
She also plays the outfield.
Mandi is very athletic with
an unbelievable work ethic,
Kocher said. She didnt see
much time last year but has
improved a lot. She has im-
proved as a pitcher and is a
strong outfielder with speed.
The Huskies are 15-5 on the
season.
BIG START FOR MAR-
IANO Sophomore Tommy
Mariano is 4-0 with a 1.87
earned run average pitching
for the Moravian baseball
team.
Mariano (Hazleton Area) is
a 6-foot, 160-pound right-hand-
er. Hes made five starts with
two complete games and a
shutout five innings, giving
up two hits in a 1-0 triumph
over John Carroll. Hes worked
33.2 innings and given up 37
hits but just eight runs, seven
earned. Hes walked six and
struck out 20.
Tommy has solidified him-
self as our number two starter
on the weekend (conference
games), coach Paul Engel-
hardt said. Hes a pitcher
meaning he is capable of
throwing all of his pitches for
strikes in any count and knows
the game and how to pitch
what and when.
Engelhardt gives a lot of
credit to his high school coach
Gino Cara.
We are fortunate to have a
kid that is only a sophomore
but carries himself and pitches
like a senior, Engelhardt said.
He works hard, is a great
teammate and very coachable.
His work ethic and baseball
knowledge make him a natural
pitcher and one that can have
success.
The Greyhounds are 12-7
overall and off to a 5-0 start in
the Landmark Conference.
GRULA STEPS IT UP
Junior Rachel Grula (Hazleton
Area) is playing at No. 2 in
singles and No. 2 in doubles
for the Kutztown womens
tennis team.
Grula recently won her
singles match (6-2, 6-2) and
teamed with Chelsea White to
capture her doubles match
(8-4) in an 8-1 victory over
Albright. Shes 3-7 in singles
and 5-5 in doubles.
Rachel has stepped up her
game to another level this
year, coach Suresh Ramamur-
thi said. With consistent and
hard off-court workouts, she
has developed new strengths
to enhance her overall game.
The coach feels that Grula is
holding her own in the tough
No. 2 position and will be an
asset once the team gets into
the conference schedule.
Rachel has shown tremen-
dous confidence, Ramamurthi
said. She has adapted very
well to the team and is a
strong support and leader. She
is always ready to give 101
percent in every match and I
am confident of her perform-
ance every time she steps onto
the court.
OSTRANDER LEADS THE
WAY Sophomore Lisa Os-
trander (Pittston Area) is
doing the job in the field and
at the plate for the Keystone
softball team.
The 5-foot-5 outfielder is
hitting .362 (17-for-47) with
five doubles and 13 runs
scored and has helped the
Giants get off to an 8-5 start
7-2 on their spring trip to
South Carolina and 1-1 in the
Colonial States Athletic Con-
ference after splitting a double-
header with Immaculata. Shes
handled 17 chances in the field
without an error.
Lisa is starting in left field
and worked hard during the
fall and winter months, coach
Karly Evans said. She has
really stepped up as our lead-
off hitter so we know we can
count on her to start us off on
the right foot. Its very nice to
see that all her hard work and
dedication has really shown
during game time.
Evans is happy to see Os-
trander taking over a lead-
ership role with the team de-
spite being just a sophomore.
She is a pleasure to have on
the team and is always smiling
throughout the whole game
which is contagious, the
coach said. She does every-
thing she is asked to do.
HONOR FOR ZACK Mora-
vian senior Gary Zack (Crest-
wood) was named the Land-
mark Conference Mens Field
Athlete of the Week.
Zack opened the outdoor
season when he finished sec-
ond in the javelin throw at the
Virginia Team Swashbuckle
meet last weekend. His 220-
feet, 10-inch toss was just two
inches short of the Moravian
record and the best perform-
ance in Division III thus far
this season.
The Greyhounds return to
action in the Danny Curran
Invitational at Widener Uni-
versity Saturday.

evaluation then.
OBrien used the term "clean
slate" multiple times, creating a
theme for a program trying to re-
build in the midst of an ongoing
child abuse scandal and following
the death of Joe Paterno.
For some players, that means a
newposition.
Curtis Drake, a wide receiver in
his first three seasons on campus,
has been moved to cornerback,
OBrien confirmed Monday.
Drakedidnot travel withtheteam

McGloininDecember brieflysent
the quarterback to the hospital.
(Drake) started with a clean
slate with me just like all 126 guys
on the team start with a clean
slatewithme, OBriensaid. And
Curtis and I have had many con-
versations, and Ill keep those be-
tween Curtis and I.
What I sawwith Curtis on the
football field was good size, good
feet, good hips, instinctiveness,
andI thinkthat hes a guy that can
contribute over there. Hes got to
keep up his end of the bargain by
doing well in school and keeping
his nose clean, and then well give
him a shot to play over there this
spring.
Drake (receiver to corner), Bill
Belton (receiver to tailback) and
Dakota Royer (linebacker to tight
end) are the three most notewor-
thy position switches as practice
begins.
Some others, however, have al-
ready used up their fresh starts.
Tailback Curtis Dukes will sit
out much of the spring for aca-
demic reasons, according to
OBrien.
Wideout Devon Smith could al-
so be in trouble. The seniors
apartment was searched on
March 14 by university police,
who recovered drugs and drug
paraphernalia, according to a
searchwarrant. Amedicationbot-
tle prescribed to Drake was also
seized.
The apartment belongs to
Smith and former Penn State de-
fensive end Jack Crawford. No
charges have filed in connection
with the search and OBrien said
hewouldwait todiscuss thesitua-
tion.
"That was just reported to me
this morning," OBrien said. "Im
still gathering info on that. Well
have something at a later date to
report on that. But I dont really
have a comment on that at this
point."

show hardly a part-time player.
Cameras flashed, capturing ev-
ery Tebowstep, as he strolled on-
to the field and made his way to
the podium for his big New York
close-up. He appeared polished
and unfazed handling a barrage
of 31 questions, most of his an-
swers measured and upbeat as he
deftly handled the local media.
Tebow, who used the word
excited more than 40 times, re-
fused to stir the volatile mix that
is the Jets. He went out of his
way to say he believes he and
Sanchez can co-exist despite all
the skeptics. And there are plen-
ty.
I think the exciting thing is
me and Mark have a great rela-
tionship, Tebow said. We have
had a great relationship for the
last three years, I think. Weve
been friends. We text back and
forth. We talked already and
were going to have a great work-
ing relationship. I think well
have a lot of fun together.
The two do have a bit of shared
history. Sanchez hosted Tebow
on his recruiting trip to Southern
California. Sanchez didnt watch
the big news conference because
he was working out, but he also
isnt worried that Tebow could
take his job at some point.
Were adding another player
and were not replacing any-
body, Sanchez said. I mean,
hes here to help us and Imconfi-
dent in my abilities. I know the
team feels the same way about
me. They have belief in me.
Im not worried about losing
my spot.
Now, its up to the Jets to make
sure it all works.
Theres a lot of pros here, Te-
bow said, and not a lot of cons.
Thats what the Jets think, too.
After all, the quarterback has
been marketing gold since they
acquired him from Denver last
Wednesday. His green-and-white
No. 15 jerseys are flying off the
racks and his arrival has put the
Jets on tabloid covers for days.
Never mind that their stadium
mates, the Giants, just won their
second Super Bowl in four years.
Or that Tebow, despite leading
the Broncos to the AFC West ti-
tle last season, completed fewer
than half his passes and Denver
wound up getting routed by the
New England Patriots in the
playoffs, 45-10.
For anyone who wondered
why such a circus-sized event for
a backup quarterback, Tebow
had an answer: just following or-
ders.
I have bosses, too, and they
wanted me to stand up here and
talk to you all, he explained, so
I can blame it on them because
they made me do it.
Tebow electrified the NFL last
year by taking a 1-4 Denver team
on an incredible run seven
wins in eight games, including
three in overtime and another
two won in the waning moments
of regulation. Suddenly, the
league was gripped by Tebowma-
nia. Never mind the bad passing
mechanics and Tebows tenden-
cy to tuck the ball and run.
The Jets are hoping he has
more surprises left in him in
whatever role he serves.
Hopefully, by me being here,
we can be a little bit better, Te-
bow said, decked out in a gray
suit and a light green tie. I think
I can add something, and thats
my hope and prayer.
Coach Rex Ryan and general
manager Mike Tannenbaum
have insisted for days that San-
chez is the unquestioned No. 1
quarterback. The two, along
with owner Woody Johnson, mis-
sed Tebows news conference be-
cause they were attending league
meetings in Palm Beach, Fla. No
teammates were there, either, al-
though Tebow said he has spo-
ken with several of them already.
Ultimately, Im just going to
be myself and just have fun with
it, he said.
And, Sanchez thinks there can
be plenty of happy moments
with the two of them being key
parts of the offense.
Im a team guy and Ill do
whatever it takes to win, San-
chez said. If changing a few
things up a couple of times a
game is what we need to do, Im
totally on board.
Ryan suggested Sunday that
Tebow could be used at a posi-
tion other than quarterback. He
kept referring to Tebow as a
football player, his ability not
limited to QB.

STATE COLLEGE As his
quarterbacks prepared to prac-
tice throwing some out routes,
Bill OBrienshoutedtoa groupof
observers standing on the side-
line at Penn State practice.
Id move back if I were you
guys, the newhead coach joked.
God only knows where these
throws are going to end up.
In that assorted crowd of re-
porters, photographers, former
players and Penn State staffers,
there happened to be another
quarterback.
Former Maryland signal-caller
Danny OBrien was in Happy Val-
ley on Monday to take in Penn
States first official practice of the
Bill OBrien era.
Sporting a dark blue Penn
State jacket that was handed to
him on a windy day, Danny
OBrien did not comment about
his future. After spending three
years at Maryland, hehas beenre-
leasedfromhis scholarshipandis
planning to transfer to another
school after earning his under-
graduate degree this semester.
Bill OBrien gave a similar no
comment at a press conference
held before practice. The coach
and quarterback are not related.
Thats like a prospect ques-
tion, so Im not commenting on
that right now, Bill OBrien said.
Its NCAA rules.
Bill OBrien had previously ac-
knowledged Danny OBriens in-
terest in Penn State as a landing
spot, and this is the second time
Danny OBrien is known to have
visited the school in the past
month.
The 2010 ACC freshman of the
year also took a trip to see Wis-
consin over the weekend and has
previously visited Ole Miss. He
has also been linked to Vander-
bilt, where his former offensive
coordinator at Maryland, James
Franklin, is now the head coach.
Should Danny OBrien ulti-
mately pick the Nittany Lions, he
would have two seasons of eligi-
bility remaining. He would be
able to play immediately at Penn
State, provided he enrolls in a
graduate program not offered at
Maryland.
For now, at least, the Lions
have three scholarship quarter-
backs competing for the job in
spring ball.
Bill OBrien said Monday that
Matt McGloin, Rob Bolden and
Paul Jones would each get a
chance to rep with the first
team.
Regardless of where Danny
OBrien ends up, Penn States
quarterback situation likely
wont be settled anytime soon.
Ill be real clear onthat -- its an
open competition, Bill OBrien
said. Theres no starter, and
there wont be a starter named
until possiblythenight beforethe
Ohio (season opener on Sept. 1).
There is no starter right now at
that position.
Bill OBrien said Monday that
he will be calling plays on offense
for the Lions, and that he plans to
install the core, the basics of
the scheme he ran with the New
England Patriots.
Along with newposition coach
Charlie Fisher, Bill OBrien spent
most of his time overseeing the
quarterbacks during the portion
of practice open to the media.
During that stretch, McGloin
took the most snaps with the pre-
sumptive first-team offense,
which included Silas Redd and
Michael Zordich in the backfield,
Justin Brown and Shawney Ker-
sey split wide, Garry Gilliam at
tight end and an offensive line of
Mike Farrell, Miles Dieffenbach,
Matt Stankiewitch, John Urschel
and Adam Gress, from left to
right.
Lions land sixth commit
Penn States recruiting class
grew on Monday as Philadelphia
area defensive end Curtis Coth-
ran has given a verbal commit-
ment to the Lions, according to
multiple recruiting services.
A three-star prospect from
Council RockNorthHighSchool,
the 6-foot-5, 230-pound Cothran
chose PennState over offers from
Maryland, Northwestern, Pur-
due, Rutgers and UConn, among
others.
Cothran becomes the sixth
prospective member of Penn
States 2013 recruiting class.
I feel good about our recruit-
ing, Bill OBrien said. But you
never really know until they sign
on the dotted line. Well just con-
tinue to work really hard at it.
I want a big, fast, physical
football team here, so I dont
want us to ever be wrong on mea-
surables. That doesnt mean that
were just going to have a bunch
of giants -- that means that theres
exceptions to every rule -- but we
cant have too many of those.

right post for a 2-1 lead.
By gettingupat half, it gave us
a boost of confidence considering
this is the first game, Dunbar
said.
The boost carried over to the
second half. Less than four min-
utes in, McDonald passed from
the left wing to Dunbar, who
made a quick move on a defender
and scored inside the right post.
Dunbar made it 4-1 about 14
minutes later off an assist from
Vanessa Parsons.
Redeemer took a 1-0 lead less
than nine minutes into the game
on freshman Olivia Gregorios
first career varsity goal. Fellow
freshman Emily Schramm assist-
ed. Dallas, though, tied the score
quickly as Parsons assisted
McDonald.
For the first game, Imnot ter-
ribly disappointed, Redeemer
coach Bob Hughes said. We got
out toa1-0leadandgot a little lax
and gave up an easy goal. We had
a mental breakdown at the end of
the first half. We let a girl dribble
all the way down by our goal and
committed a silly foul.
SoI thinkthe game was closer
than the score. Were a young

Kings, Eastern split
Kings earned a doublehead-

6-5, then coming back to win
the nightcap 7-5.
Trailing 5-0 in the first in-
ning, the Lady Monarchs
chipped away cutting the lead
to 5-2 in the fourth on a run-
scoring hits by Brittny Baynes
and Kaitlin Siegfried. Kings
added two more runs in the
fifth when Amanda Cardone
hit a two-run home run to cut
the lead to 5-4. Cardone con-
nected again in the seventh
with a solo shot to even the
score. But an error in the bot-
tom of the seventh led to East-
ern scoring the winning run.
In Game 2, Kings overcame
a 5-1 deficit to post the win.
Brittany Bayes hit a two-run
home run for the Lady Mon-
archs to trim the lead to 5-3
and Tina Seber drilled a three-

LONDON Tiger Woods is
back to winning, and back to
being the British bookies fa-
vorite to win the Masters.
The 14-time major champion
won his first PGA Tour tourna-
ment since 2009 on Sunday at
the Arnold Palmer Invitational
at Bay Hill. It was his first
chance to revel in a tour victo-
ry since his personal life went
into turmoil following a sex
scandal that ended his mar-
riage and precipitated a steady
decline in his game and his
stature as the man to beat on
the course.
But with his five-stroke vic-
tory Sunday and the Masters
starting April 5, all that has
changed.
His whole game looks right
now. Hes putting well. Hes
chipping well. Hes driving
well, said Rupert Adams, a
spokesman for British book-
maker William Hill. The ar-
mor looks to be back in place
again, and actually possibly
the aura. Once again hes got
the swagger back in his step.
William Hill has Woods list-
ed as the 4-1 favorite to win his
fifth Masters title, with Rory
McIlroy close behind at 5-1.
Other bookies have similar
odds, with Ladbrokes quoting
the same numbers as William
Hill. Paddy Power and Coral
both have Woods as the 7-2 fa-
vorite with McIlroy next at 9-2.
At 4-1 odds,
a $1 bet re-
turns $5. At
7-2, $1 returns
$4.50.
The four-
time cham-
pion, fresh
from his first
PGA Tour win in 30-months at
the Arnold Palmer Invitation-
al, has every chance, Lad-
brokes said on its website.
This years Masters will be
the first major in which Woods
is listed as the favorite since
the same tournament in 2010,
shortly after his public down-
fall.
We put him out at a top
price at 5-2 then, Adams said.
We took 3,000 bets in the
space of three hours. That was
the last time he was favorite.
Since then hes collapsed. They
(bettors) started to back him
to miss the cut after that.
But with Woods improving,
the bookies are changing tac-
tics, and another good showing
at Augusta National could see
Woods stay at the top of the be-
tting lists for the foreseeable
future.
The Masters and Tiger are
synonymous after that extraor-
dinary (performance) when he
destroyed the field (in 1997),
Adams said. If he gives a good
show, even a top-10 finish, I
think youll see once again Ti-
ger is the first person on the be-
tting sheet, without a doubt.

LOS ANGELES Larry Ste-
venson, a skateboard maker who
helped take the sport from an
early 1960s kids gimmick often
comparedtothehulahooptoare-
spectable and eventually profes-
sional sport on par with surfing,
has died.
Stevenson died at age 81 on
Sunday at Ronald Reagan-UCLA
Medical Center in Santa Monica,
his son Curt Stevenson told The
AssociatedPress.
The elder Stevenson had dealt
with Parkinsons Disease since
the early1970s, andhedbeenina
nursinghomeformuchof thepast
decade. Hisdeathwasfirst report-
edby the Los Angeles Times.
Larry Stevenson was a design
innovator who developed fea-
tures still found on skateboards
50 years later and a businessman
who was among the first to make
professional and mass-produced
boards.
But many skaters say his great-
est achievement was getting the
public to accept skateboards by
permanently linking it to surfing,
asportthathadbecomeanational
craze and was inspiring movies
andmusic.
That freedom of being in the
waves, he wanted to transfer that
toland, saidMichael Brooke, au-
thor of the 1999 history of skate-
boarding The Concrete Wave
who often interviewed Steven-
son.
Hebasicallywasthegodfather
of skate culture. Before him, ska-
teboards were toys.
A Southern California native,
Stevenson was working as a life-
guard in Venice Beach in 1959
when he sawkids tooling around
on mostly homemade boards
withclay or metal wheels.
Before he started manufactur-
ing, he became a pioneer in pro-
moting the sport through maga-
zine pictures and stories, an ele-
ment that would be almost as es-
sential to skate culture as the
boards themselves.
He pushed skateboarding in
Surf Guide, a magazine he found-
edwithafriend, showingpictures
of skaters carving up sidewalks
alongside surfers riding waves.
Stevenson then began design-
ing and selling boards with his
wife out of their garage.
His first commercially pro-
duced board was known as the
Makaha Surf &Ski Skateboard,
in an attempt to link the sport to
the slopes as well as the waves.

KEYBISCAYNE, Fla. Andy
Roddick beat Roger Federer for
only the third time in their 24
meetings Monday, dominating
with his serve to win 7-6 (4), 1-6,
6-4 inthe thirdroundat the Sony
Ericsson Open.
Roddickbroke serve only once
but held every service game in
the first and last sets. After fall-
ing behind 15-30 in the final
game, he closed out the victory
with an ace and two service win-
ners, all at more than 130 mph.
On paper, it looked like a mis-
match between former No. 1s,
each a two-time champion in the
event. The third-ranked Federer
began the night 40-2 since the
U.S. Open, while Roddick was
ranked 34th, the lowest he has
been since 2001.
Roddick ended Federers
streak of 77 consecutive wins
against players outside the top
20.
Serena Williams matcheda ca-
reer high with 20 aces and
whacking enough thunderous
groundstrokes to beat Samantha
Stosur 7-5, 6-3 and advance to
the quarterfinals.
My serve was hot, Williams
said. I was like, Thats pretty
cool.
She avenged a loss to Stosur
when they last met in the U.S.
Open final in September.
That wasnt inmymind, Wil-
liams said. I just thought, This
is a new game.
Top-ranked Victoria Azarenka
lost 10 of the first 11 games, then
rallied to remain unbeaten this
year by beating No. 16-seeded
Dominika Cibulkova 1-6, 7-6 (7),
7-5. Azarenka was two points
fromdefeat five times, but swept
the last three games and extend-
ed her winning streak to 26
matches, all in 2012.
Also reaching the quarterfi-
nals was No. 2 Maria Sharapova,
who overcame 11 double-faults
to beat Ekaterina Makarova 6-4,
7-6 (3). Sharapova won despite
committing 52 unforced errors
and losing her serve four times.
No. 1 Novak Djokovic ad-
vanced to the fourth round by
beating No. 27-seeded Viktor
Troicki 6-3, 6-4. Djokovic is bid-
dingfor his thirdKeyBiscayneti-
tle and second in a row.
No. 8-seeded Mardy Fish as-
sured hell remain the top-
ranked American man by beat-
ing No. 28 Kevin Anderson 6-4,
6-3. Fishhas yet toplayinthe sta-
dium this tournament and in-
stead faced Anderson at 11 a.m.
on the grandstand court, but he
said that was fine because pre-
fers an early start.
I like to know my fate, Fish
said. I like playing in the heat.
And I think everyone likes to
know exactly when they play.
Federer lost only seven points
on his serve in the opening set,
but when he failed to put away
an overhead trailing 4-3 in the
tiebreaker, the match swung
Roddicks way.
Federer squandered another
chancewitha1-0leadinthethird
set, failing to convert four break
points in the next game. After
Roddick escaped for 1-all, he
earned his lone break in the next
game, his grunts filling the stadi-
um as he cracked four forehand
winners.
Roddick served out the final
four games without facing a
break point. When he let loose a
134-mph serve to win the final
point, he raised his arms and
waved his racket at the heavens.
Roddick had cause to give
thanks: He had lost 52 of 64 sets
against Federer entering the
match. Federer had won six
meetings in a row since Roddick
beat him in the Key Biscayne
quarterfinals in 2008.
The No. 10-seeded Williams
lost only six points on her first
serve against the No. 6-seeded
Stosur, but had to rally after be-
ing broken in the first game of
each set.
Williams failed to convert her
first seven break-point chances,
then muscled her way back into
the match. She also showed fi-
nesse, such as when she chipped
a forehand drop shot that barely
cleared the net for a dainty win-
ner.

Kansas forward Thomas Rob-
inson has even more in common
with Blake Griffin now. Not ev-
erything, though.
Robinson, who played
through personal tragedy as a
sophomore reserve, capped his
junior season by being a unani-
mous selection to The Associ-
ated Press All-America team
Monday, a day after leading the
Jayhawks to the Final Four.
The 6-foot-10 Robinson aver-
aged 17.9 points and 11.8 re-
bounds this season and he was a
first-team pick by all 65 mem-
bers of the national media panel
that selects the weekly Top 25.
The last unanimous pick was
Griffin in 2009.
Its a blessing to be named
even in the same category as
Blake Griffin, Robinson said.
For that to happen, Im glad all
the hard work is paying off.
Robinson did find some simi-
larities between them besides
being Big 12 Player of the Year.
That man jumps out the
gym. He looks like a superhero
when he takes off, Robinson
said. But we both try to be ag-
gressive. He knows what he
does well. I feel the same way. I
know what I do well.
Joining Robinson on the first
team were Jared Sullinger of
Ohio State, the first repeat All-
America in three years, fresh-
man Anthony Davis of Ken-
tucky, Draymond Green of Mi-
chigan State and Doug McDer-
mott of Creighton.
Davis received 63 first-team
votes while Green, the lone se-
nior on the team, got 53. Sull-
inger had 30, one more than
McDermott. The voting was
done before the NCAA tourna-
ment.
Robinson received nationwide
support as a sophomore when
he lost his mother, grandmother
and grandfather in a three-week
period. He not only became a
starter this season, he became a
star.
Its an unbelievable honor for
a kid that came as a semi-highly
recruited guy, played seven min-
utes as a freshman, 10 minutes
as a sophomore, endured the
tragedies hes had and then
somehow made so many sacri-
fices, not only for the better-
ment of himself but the better-
ment of all of us., Kansas coach
Bill Self said. To be unanimous,
its just something that blows
me away.
Robinson is Kansas first All-
American since Wayne Simien
in 2005.
The 6-9 Sullinger, who was se-
lected East Regional as he led
the Buckeyes to the Final Four,
is the first repeat All-America
since North Carolinas Tyler
Hansbrough in 2009.
It means a lot when your
name is with Tyler Hansbrough,
Psycho T. He was a great basket-
ball player, Sullinger said with
a big smile as he used Hans-
broughs nickname. It means a
lot. I think its a credit to my
teammates.
Sullinger, the first player to re-
peat as a freshman and sopho-
more since Chris Jackson of
LSU in 1989 and 1990, averaged
17.6 points and 9.3 rebounds
while shooting 53.9 percent
from the field. He is the fourth
Ohio State player to repeat join-
ing Jerry Lucas, Robin Freeman
and Garry Bradds. Junior guard
Isaiah Canaan of Murray State
was joined on the second team
by seniors Marcus Denmon of
Missouri, Tyler Zeller of North
Carolina, Jae Crowder of Mar-
quette and Kevin Jones of West
Virginia.

Kansas star leads
All-American squad
Robinson was a unanimous
decision; OSUs Sullinger is
lauded for second time.
By JIMOCONNELL
AP Basketball Writer
Lurking in virtually every cor-
ner of the Superdome this week-
end will be lottery picks, some
other NBA first rounders and as-
sorted AP All-Americans.
Everywhere, that is, except
the Louisville locker room.
This years Final Four features
three teams Kentucky, Kan-
sas and Ohio State all with
their fair share of the most gifted
players in the country, and a
fourth with a coach who has
squeezed the most out of the
next tier of talent.
Does that make Louisvilles
Rick Pitino the best coach, or
say something about John Cali-
pari, Bill Self and Thad Matta?
Well, those three might tell you
something about howtough it is
dealing with a bench full of stars.
A lot of coaches would agree
that, at times, coaching teams
with a ton of talent is probably
more difficult because youre
constantly trying to get the max-
imum out of them, said Matta,
who has a star in AP All-Amer-
ican first-teamer Jared Sullinger,
widely viewed as a top-15 NBA
draft pick. Its so much easier to
get to the top than stay at the
top. A lot of times when you
have a team thats loaded, you
fight a lot more adversity on the
outside than when youre scrap-
ing to get to the top.
Which brings us to the Ken-
tucky Wildcats, who play Louis-
ville on Saturday in the first
semifinal.
By choice, Calipari has devel-
oped a program so overflowing
with top-level talent that hes
spending more time looking to
replace players after a season or
two than developing them over
four.
Freshman Anthony Davis, an-
other AP All-American, will like-
ly be the top player in the draft
should he leave after this season.
Classmate Michael Kidd-Gil-
christ wont be far behind. Fresh-
man Marquis Teague and sopho-
mores Terrence Jones and Do-
ron Lamb will also have a chance
at the first round if they leave.
So, Calipari must be the most
persuasive (some might have an-
other adjective to describe this
after those run-ins with the
NCAA) recruiter in history,
right?
We dont do anything out-
landish, he said. Were not
promising minutes or shots.
Theyve just really got to trust
that you have their best interest
at heart. Its a players-first pro-
gram and they learn that, as you
sacrifice, we all gain, as individu-
als and as a team.
Getting his players to buy into
that, and to come to a team
where they arent guaranteed to
be the only star, might be Cali-
paris biggest accomplishment
as a coach. But once they get
there, he insists hes doing more
than simply rolling the ball out
on the floor.
Kentucky leads the nation in
field goal defense and blocked
shots and has a nearly 6-5 assist-
to-turnover ratio. Stoked by this
combination of less-glamorous
numbers, Calipari claims he has
the most efficient team in the
country.
What Imgoing to try to do is
get guys to play as well as they
can play, he said. Lets go out
and play great. If its not good
enough, lets make sure we have
more fun than anyone else and
well take the results from
there.
While Calipari tries to get the
most out of a lot of talent, Pitino
has been playing a different
game this season. He is the only
Final Four coach without an AP
first-teamer. In fact, there were
no Louisville players on the sec-
ond or third teams either, or
even on the honorable mention
list.
According to most lists, not a
single one of Pitinos players
would get drafted by the NBA if
they left this year. Meanwhile, a
raft of injuries and roster adjust-
ments has turned every practice
this seasonintoanadventure. Pi-
tino coaxed his sixth Final Four
trip out of a team that reminds
him in many ways of his first
an undersized, underappreciat-
ed group of players at Providen-
ce in 1987, headlined by Billy
Donovan.
The Cardinals are led by point
guard Peyton Siva and center
Gorgui Dieng. Yet they went
down the stretch in a tight game
against Florida on Saturday with
Siva gone from the game with
five fouls and with a relatively
unheraldedfreshman, Chane Be-
hanan, taking over.
We may not have as much tal-
ent in certain areas as other
teams. But theres young talent
andwere going to develop, Piti-
no said. The great thing about
March Madness and college bas-
ketball is that, generally speak-
ing, in the pros, 90 percent of the
time, the best team is going to
win a five- or seven-game series.
In college, its a one-game stint,
maybe somebody shoots great,
anything can happen.
Kansas has this years only
unanimous all-APselectioninju-
nior Thomas Robinson, who fig-
ures to be an NBA lottery pick if
he leaves.
He could spend much of the
night Saturday matched up
against Sullinger, who sat out
with back spasms when these
teams met in December and
Kansas won 78-67.

Final Four stardom is plentiful
From coaches to NBA talent,
theres no shortage of
superstars.
By EDDIE PELLS
AP National Writer
DES MOINES, Iowa Bay-
lor has just two wins to go for
40-0. Tennessees future is far
less certain.
Brittney Griner had 23
points, 15 rebounds and nine
blocks before being ejected
with less than a minute left
and top-seeded Baylor rolled
over Tennessee 77-58 Monday
night to advance to the Final
Four.
Shekinna Strickland had 22
points for Tennessee (27-9),
whose seniors became its first
four-year class not to reach a
Final Four.
The second-seeded Lady Vols
now face an uncertain future,
as Pat Summitt has yet to say
if shell return for a 39th sea-
son as Tennessee coach. She
announced in August shed
been diagnosed with early
onset dementia, Alzheimers
type.
The Lady Bears (38-0), who
are back in the national semi-
finals for the second time in
three years, will face either
Stanford or Duke on Sunday
night in Denver.
Baylors Odyssey Sims, who
led the Bears with 27 points,
tumbled to the floor with 46.8
seconds left, and she and
Strickland had to be separated.
No punches were thrown, but
Griner and teammates Terran
Condrey and Jordan Madden
were ejected for leaving the
bench.
The NCAA says none of the
players will be suspended for
the Final Four.
Should Baylor win it all next
week, itll become the first
mens or womens team in
NCAA history to finish a year
with 40 wins.
As for Summitt, she was
given a standing ovation from
Tennessee and Baylor fans alike
when she came out roughly 15
minutes before tipoff. But as
defeat became apparent, she
sat silently on the bench with
her legs crossed.
Summitt has 1,098 wins,
more than any basketball coach
in NCAA history.
But Baylor was too much for
her Lady Vols.
Like most of Baylors games
this season, the Bears regional
semifinal was more about dom-
inance than drama until a
scrum in the final minute.
Stanford 81, Duke 69
FRESNO, Calif. Nnemkadi
Ogwumike had 29 points and
nine rebounds despite constant
double-teams, sending top-
seeded Stanford past No. 2
seed Duke in the Fresno Re-
gional final for the Cardinals
fifth straight Final Four berth.
Little sister, Chiney, did plen-
ty to seal the Denver trip, too
along with everybody else.
Chiney Ogwumike grabbed 17
rebounds to go with 12 points
and freshman Amber Orrange
came through with 13 points
and four assists as the Cardinal
extended their school-record
winning streak to 32 games.
Nneka Ogwumike is headed
back to the Final Four in her
NCAA tournament farewell
with that elusive championship
still in reach. Stanford (35-1),
looking for the programs first
title since 1992, will play Sun-
day night against Brittney Grin-
er and unbeaten Baylor (38-0).
Chelsea Gray had 23 points,
four rebounds and four assists
and Shay Selby scored 11 in her
final college game for Duke
(27-6).

Markets close higher
Stocks closed Monday at multiyear
highs, helped by Federal Reserve Chair-
man Ben Bernankes remarks that the
economy still needs help.
The Dow Jones industrial average
had its third-biggest gain of the year.
The Standard & Poors 500 index rose
to its highest close since May 2008.
The Nasdaq composite index, which
has already rallied almost 20 percent
this year, climbed to its highest close
since November 2000.
Rising stocks outpaced falling stocks
by about 3-to-1.
Kraft CEO gets raise
Kraft Foods Inc. gave CEO Irene
Rosenfeld a pay package worth $15.7
million in 2011, which represents a 17
percent raise from the previous year.
The compensation included a salary
of $1.5 million, stock and option
awards worth $9.7 million and incen-
tive-based compensation of $4.2 mil-
lion. All other compensation was
$276,000 and covered use of the com-
pany aircraft, car expenses and retire-
ment plan contributions.
The pay bump was largely the result
of her incentive-based pay, which Kraft
determines based on total returns to
shareholders and growth in net reve-
nue and operating earnings per share.
Pending home sales strong
The number of Americans signing
contracts to buy previously owned
homes held in February near an almost
two-year high, a sign that the real es-
tate market may be stabilizing.
The index of pending home purchas-
es fell 0.5 percent to 96.5 after a 2
percent increase the prior month, the
National Association of Realtors said
Monday in Washington. Januarys
reading of 97 was the highest since
April 2010.
Even with the decline last month,
January and February sales of existing
homes marked the strongest start to a
year since 2007.
German confidence rises
German business confidence rose for
the fifth month in a row, a closely
watched survey showed Monday. The
Ifo Institute said its main confidence
index rose to 109.8 points from109.6 in
February.
Germanys economy contracted by
0.2 percent in last years fourth quarter,
though it grew by a solid 3 percent
over 2011 as a whole.

IT LOOKS LIKE
biplanes are coming
back into fashion
after nearly 100
years of near-obso-
lescence.
But this isnt your
great-grandfathers
Sopwith Camel.
A set of stacked wings is about the
only thing MITs new supersonic
concept has in common with the
rickety planes of yesteryear.
It also is far removed from the
Concorde, an expensive, noisy gas
guzzler that broke windows.
Ever since the Concorde was
grounded by noise complaints, eco-
nomic reality and a crash in 2000 that
killed all 109 passengers and crew,
Boeing and other aircraft manufactur-
ers have proposed supersonic pas-
senger transports that minimized, but
couldnt eliminate, a major drawback
of these planes the sonic boom.
Now, a group of professors from
MIT and Stanford University claim
theyve busted the booming problem
with an extra set of wings.
Heres how it works. As an aircraft
approaches the speed of sound, air
pressure at the leading edge of the
aircraft causes sound waves created
by both the vehicle and the passage
of air over the vehicle to become
focused into a cone-shaped shock-
wave, similar to the wake of a boat.
Where the shockwave passes over
the ground, a listener will hear it as a
loud, booming explosion. Hence the
phrase Sonic Boom.
What the team from MIT has done
is shape the leading edge of the air-
craft, and the wings in particular, so
that the shockwaves counter each
other, eliminating the sonic boom.
Imagine two boats passing each
other from different directions. When
the waves they generate cross over
one another, they will diminish each
other or, in some cases, cancel each
other out.
The biggest problem with the new
MIT design is drag. Biplanes got off
the ground first because theyre capa-
ble of traveling at extremely low
speed without stalling.
But the design generates extra
drag, so when lighter, higher per-
formance engines became available,
the extra set of wings was dropped.
To resolve the drag problem, the
scientists used computer modeling to
tweak the shapes of the wing so that
at supersonic cruise speed the plane
would be twice as efficient as the
Concorde. Lower fuel prices and
lower weight mean cheaper tickets.
While the design is still on the
drawing board, as it were, theyre
starting to find ways to streamline
their concept even further, so al-
though this plane might not be on the
radar for major carriers just yet, the
days of flying from New York to Paris
in less than four hours could be mak-
ing a comeback sometime soon.

WASHINGTON Congress should pass
online privacy legislation and businesses
should voluntarily change how they handle
personal data to protect consumers in the fast-
evolvingdigital world, the Federal Trade Com-
mission said Monday.
Theagencyissuedalengthyfinal report that
reiterated its longstanding call for online ad-
vertisers and makers of Web browsers to enact
a Do Not Track system that allows consum-
ers toprevent the collectionof data about their
Internet surfing.
The report also called for newrules for data
brokers, including legislation to give consum-
ers access toinformationabout themcollected
by those companies.
If companies adopt our final recommenda-
tions for best practices and many of themal-
ready have they will be able to innovate and
deliver creative new services that consumers
can enjoy without sacrificing their privacy, said
Jon Leibowitz, the agencys chairman.
The report follows preliminary staff recom-
mendations released in late 2010 that called
for companies to build consumer privacy pro-
tections into all their products, provide grea-
ter transparency about the collection and use
of personal data, and provide simpler tools,
such as a Do Not Track mechanism, for people
to control what informationbusinesses collect
from them.
Inresponsetosomeof 450public comments
on those preliminary recommendations, the
FTCs final report refined its proposed guid-
ance for companies and Congress.
Among the revisions is an exemption from
privacy rules for small companies. Because of
worries that the rules could be too much of a
burden, the FTC said its proposals should not
apply to companies that collect non-sensitive
data fromfewer than5,000 consumers a year if
that information is not shared with third par-
ties.

ATLANTICCITY, N.J. Revel, the
$2.4 billionAtlantic City casino resort
that almost didnt get built, clearedits
final major hurdle onMonday.
The New Jersey Casino Control
Commission approved a casino li-
cense for the resort, which will be-

also has a luxurious spa, 14 restau-

You knew that
sooner or later
we'd have to pay
for all that warm
weather we had
last week, but
the fee is not too
difcult to han-
dle. At least
we're not having
to shovel snow
this morning,
but, for sure, it's
really cold out
there! Despite
having sunshine
all day today,
temperatures
will hover only in
the 40s this
afternoon. A
gusty breeze will
enhance the chill
and then tonight
won't be quite as
cold with skies
turning partly
cloudy. Warmer
temperatures
Wednesday will
come with a
shower, then
colder weather
returns later this
week.

NATIONAL FORECAST: A storm system will push onshore out West today, bringing rainy and windy
conditions to the Northwest Coast, while rain and higher elevation snow showers can be expected
from the Cascades into eastern Washington. Another frontal system will bring scattered showers and

IN BRIEF
See BRIEFS, Page 4C
Q: For the past six
months, Ive had two
attacks of small bowel
obstruction caused by
adhesions. Ive been
told that theres noth-
ing I can do to prevent
future attacks. Can
you elaborate on this subject?
A.M., Cape May, N.J.
A: Unfortunately, theres not much you
can do to prevent the recurrence of those
painful, pesky, periodic obstructions to
one or more loops of bowel that make up
the small intestine. Adhesions are areas
of tough, fibrous scar tissue that develop
in the abdomen as a result of prior sur-
gery such as an appendectomy or gall
bladder removal. Roughly three-fourths
of all situations of small bowel obstruc-
tion occur as a result of adhesions.
Adhesions dont typically cause prob-
lems at first. The continual movement of
loops of bowel from waves of digestion
(peristalsis) causes adhesions to get
stretched like rubber bands over time. At
some point, an adhesions fibrous band
pinches a portion of the small intestine
wall and blocks the passage of its diges-
tive contents. When this occurs, a person
should be hospitalized and have a naso-
gastric suction tube temporarily placed
to remove air and gastric contents. For-
tunately, the vast majority of adhesion-
related small bowel obstructions clear up
on their own.
You may wonder why surgeons dont
routinely perform laparoscopic surgery
to get rid of pesky adhesions. It turns out
that removal of old adhesions just leads
to the eventual formation of new ones.
Q: I recently learned from a CDC
report that bread is among the top 10
sources of salt/sodium. Why do they
need to use salt in bread anyway?
M.C., Orlando, Fla.
A: Yes, its true. Bread, especially
white bread, has a good bit of salt
somewhere between 170 and 190 mg of
sodium per slice! Considering that the
U.S. Dietary Guidelines recommend
less than 2300 mg/day (1500 mg/day
for folks at increased risk for heart
disease and stroke and those 51 years
of age and older), thats a lot of sodium
just for bread. If you make a sandwich
with lunch meat and cheese, youre
eating close to half of an entire days
sodium limit. If you then add potato
chips on the side and perhaps a bowl of
soup, theres an awful lot of salt.
If youre wondering why bread has so
much salt, it serves two functions. The
first is for taste. A low salt loaf of bread
for many is very bland. Salt is said to
bring out the flavors. Switching to
low-salt bread might take a bit of ad-
justment for your taste buds. The other
important role of salt in bread is that it
slows down the rising process of yeast
in bread dough, allowing the gluten
time to strengthen and develop.
That said, there are lower sodium
bread options available in the grocery
store. Theres also the option of making
low-salt bread at home.

Turning good dental practices into
habits very early can prevent
cavities and many other prob-
lems down the road. Its all
about making it a routine,
which will last a lifetime, says
Dr. Miles Hall, chief dental
officer at Cigna. Some tips:
Start early. As soon as a childs
first tooth appears, begin clean-
ing it with a brush and water
no toothpaste yet and make
a dental appointment.
Introduce toothpaste slowly.
Kids usually are ready for
toothpaste by age 2 or 3 years
old. To keep them from swal-
lowing large amounts, put a
pea-sized bead of paste on the
brush and squash it down into
the bristles.
Let kids pick out their tooth-
brushes. Opting for a favorite
color or cartoon character
helps them feel in control.
Make brushing fun. Put on some
great music and do a little
dancing as part of the night-
time brush-and-floss routine.
Parents can brush at the same
time so kids can imitate them.
Help with flossing. Kids dont
need to floss until gaps be-
tween their teeth have closed,
but they likely wont be coor-
dinated enough to try it on
their own until ages 6 to 8.
Before that, its a parents job.
Expand the tooth fairys role.
She doesnt just need to bring
money for lost teeth. She also
might leave encouraging notes
and little rewards for good
brushing and flossing.
Limit sugary snacks. Emphasize
regular meals and healthy
snacks, but if kids do eat or
drink something sugary, teach
H O W T O introduce oral hygiene to kids
them to brush or rinse their
mouths with water soon after-
ward.
Talk up the dentist. Dont pass
on your hatred of dental ap-
pointments or details on your
fillings and root canals. Keep
it positive: the dentists
office is a fun place
that helps kids stay
healthy.

If you or a loved one has been
diagnosed with Alzheimers,
therearesomeadditional unusu-
al therapeutic holistic regimens
that may be of benefit in improv-
ing cognition. Two new scientif-
ic studies in the last couple of
months have shown some bene-
fit in helping brain functioning
in Alzheimers: one on medita-
tion, the other on Rosemary oil
aromatherapy.
For the study on meditation
and Alzheimers, researchers en-
rolled15 older adults with mem-
ory problems that ranged from
mildage-associatedmemory im-
pairment to mild impairment,
on a Kirtan Kriya mantra-based
meditation course. Participants
meditated 12 minutes per day
for eight weeks. The control
group listened to classical music
for the same amount of time
over eight weeks.
Early findings showed a (sur-
prising) substantial increase in
cerebral blood flow in the pa-
tients prefrontal, superior front-
al, and superior parietal cortic-
es, and also better cognitive
function in the group that per-
formed regular meditation.
In the rosemary oil aromathe-
rapy study, the investigators
tested cognitive performance
and mood of 20 people, who
were exposed to varying levels
of the rosemary aroma. Using
blood samples to detect the
amount of 1,8-cineole (a mea-
sure of the aromatherapy rosem-
ary oil in the bloodstream) the
researchers applied speed and
accuracy tests, and mood assess-
ments to judge the rosemary
oils effects.
Results indicate for the first
time in human subjects that con-
centration of 1,8-cineole in the
bloodis relatedtoanindividuals
cognitive performance with
higher concentrations resulting
in improved performance. Both
speed and accuracy were im-
proved in the study in cognitive
functioning.
What do these two studies tell
us about Alzheimers? The brain
is a complex organism, with
many complex mechanisms that
lead to optimum functioning.
Early trials show aromatherapy
and meditation improve blood
supply and enhance cognitive
skills. Ongoing data are showing
us that we have much power to
help treat Alzheimers integra-
tively, keeping in mind that the
environment, exercise, health,
lifestyle, meditation, music and
smells, can be all be beneficial in
improving brain functioning.
Meditation, aromatherapy may help fight Alzheimers
By DRS. KAY JUDGE and MAXINE
BARISH-WREDEN
McClatchy Newspapers
COLLEGE PARK, Md. A growing
number of young athletes are focusing on
playing a single sport, putting themselves at
greater risk of serious injuries, physicians
said.
When athletes that play one sport and
one sport alone, theres probablymore hours
of competition in that one sport than there
were competing if they hadtwo or three oth-
er sports, Maryland Terrapins team physi-
cian and assistant orthopaedics professor
Dr. James Dreesesaid. Its thehours of com-
petition that puts them most at risk for hav-
ing those problems.
Some parents believe that specialization
can help their children become stars, earn-
ing a college scholarship or even a pro ca-
reer. Over the past decade, sports perform-
ance scientist Dr. Chris Stankovich said he
has noticed more and more children begin-
ning to specialize in one sport.
Culturally speaking, more and more kids
are seeing that a friend of theirs or a school-
mate is doing one sport year-round, so it
kind of normalizes it, Stankovich said.
More than 44 million children in the Unit-
edStates participate inyouthsports, accord-
ing to a 2008 survey by the National Council
of Youth Sports. But only about 6 percent of
high school athletes go on to play football,
baseball or soccer in college, according to
the NCAA. About 3 percent play college bas-
ketball.
Specialization at a young age, however,
can set young athletes up for serious inju-
ries.
For example, the throwing armof a young
baseball player who specializes in pitching
too early can undergo major structural
changes.
There are some pretty significant adap-
tive changes that take place in the throwing
shoulder with regards to the way it rotates
and the way in which its orientated that is
most related to the hours of which the ath-
lete is throwing. The younger they are, the
more that adaptive change tends to be,
Dreese said.
Reggie Zayas, the commissioner of the
Marlboro Boys & Girls Club and a travel
league in Upper Marlboro, Md., said that
about 40 percent of his kids specialize in
baseball, usually by ages 9 or 10.
(Kids on travel-select leagues are) falling
behind the curve if they play multiple
sports, Zayas said. If you try to play (foot-
ball, basketball and baseball) ... youre fall-
ing behind the curve because there are so
many kids just concentrating on one sport.
Harry Hudson, the president of Henlopen
Pop Warner and coach of the Cape Vikings
pee-wee team in Lewes, Del., tells his play-
ers the same thing.
Hudson and his fellowcoaches encourage
kids under 12 to stay active and to participa-
te in as many different sports as possible.
But whentheybecometeenagers, headvises
them to consider specializing.
When you move on to that middle school
or that high school level, you need to start
looking at your future, Hudson said.
Some parents, like Hudson, view sport
sampling as more dangerous than focusing
on one sport.
In football, youre using your shoulders
by hitting people. Youre using your legs al-
so. You go into wrestling, and youre not giv-
ing your body enough time to heal. Now
Young, one-sport athletes face higher injury risk
By SAMSPIEGELMAN
Capital News Service
youre going right back into another sport
that has to do with possible shoulder inju-
ries, Hudson said.
But doctors argue that playing only one
sport is more dangerous.
Themovement towardspecializationmay
produce more successful athletes, but it also
results in more injuries. More than 3.5 mil-
lion children 14 and younger were treated
for sports injuries in 2010, according to the
American Academy of Orthopaedic Sur-
geons. In contrast, 1.9 million were treated
in2002, accordingtotheCenters for Disease
Control.
Researchers at Loyola University Chicago
Stritch School of Medicine found in 2011
that single-sport athletes were almost twice
as likely to injure themselves as multi-sport
athletes.
Certainly, if youre throwing a baseball
10, 11, 12 months a year, youre going to have
a much higher risk of injury than if youre
throwingfour, five months a year andmaybe
throwing a football a few months a year,
Dreese said.
Dreese said he understands why some
youngathletes specialize, but he doesnt rec-
ommend it.
Chronic overuse injuries account for ap-
proximately half of newinjuries in pediatric
sports medicine practices, according to the
International Youth Conditioning Associ-
ation.
Children who specialize can develop Os-
good Schlatters syndrome which causes
knee pain and os calcis apophysitis
which causes heel pain.
In adolescents and young adults, theres a
risk of shin splints, and patellofemoral syn-
drome, also known as runners knee.
By playing a multitude of sports, kids are
more likely to develop better coordination
and muscle balance, doctors said.
Children participating in a variety of dif-
ferent sports develop a lot of different skill-
sets in terms of coordination and muscle de-
velopment. Playing a variety of sports that
require a variety of skills helps to develop
that better thanplayingone single sport that
focuses on just a few of those factors,
Dreese said.

Some little-known facts about
thedisease:
African-American and Latino

Head injuries from contact
sports like basketball, football or
soccer can increase risk, as can car
accidents.
A diagnosis of diabetes also in-
creases risk.

A: Its a relatively newprocedure

munity, and cut down on cancer
risks. Beets are a prime exam-
ple of the healing power of the
color red. Their hue comes
from betacyanins, a substance
linked to fighting cancer in lab-
oratory mice. The vegetable al-
so contains nitrate, which may
lower your blood pressure and
can halt dementia in older
adults by improving blood flow
to the brain.
Red: Cherries
The antioxidant-packed ruby
spheres are more than just an
ice cream topping. Bing cher-
ries may lower your risk for ar-
thritis, heart disease and can-
cer by fighting inflammation,
according to a USDA study. If
youd rather drink your nutri-
ents, guzzle a tart cherry juice.
Whats more, a 2010 study
found that the beverage may
help you sleep better with its
high melatonin content. It may
also reduce muscle damage in
athletes, reports research from
London.
Red: Tomato
A tomatos rosy complexion
comes from lycopene, a phyto-
chemical that helps protect
against prostate cancer. While
most fruits and vegetables lose
some of their antioxidant mojo
once theyre cooked, cooking
tomatoes actually enhances
their lycopene content, accord-
ing to Sheth. This means that
even when tomatoes are out of
season you can reap their
health benefits through tomato
sauce or tomato paste.
Orange: Sweet Potatoes
Orange fruits and veggies get
their color from beta-carotene,
a potent antioxidant thats con-
verted to vitamin A in our bod-
ies. The substance may protect
the skin from UV rays and help
prevent vision loss. Sweet pota-
toes are no exception. In addi-
tion to delivering nearly four
times your recommended vita-
min A allowance, a serving sup-
plies you with blood-pressure-
friendly potassium, immunity-
boosting vitamin C and slim-
ming fiber. Orange you glad you
know?
Yellow: Pineapple
The tropical fruit delivers 131
percent of your daily vitamin C
intake and also supplies you
with bromelain, an enzyme that
helps with indigestion, reduces
inflammation and may prevent
heart disease, Sheth says.
Mounting research also indi-
cates that bromelain has can-
cer-fighting properties.
Green: Broccoli
Emerald veggies like broccoli
and bok choy support a healthy
immune system. These crucife-
rous veggies contain a protein
that helps intra-epithelial lym-
phocytes (IELs) immune
cells that line and protect the
gut and skin function proper-
ly, according to 2011 research
published in Cell. Broccolis al-
so a great way to get your green
on because it contains relative-
ly high levels of protein (3
grams per cup), vitamin C (135
percent of your daily value),
and vitamin K (116 percent of
your daily value).
Green: Spinach
When it comes to greens, the
deeper and more intense the
color, the more nutrition youll
get, Sheth says. Choose kale,
spinach or collard greens rath-
er than iceberg lettuce. Pop-
eyes favorite will hit you with
significant helpings of calcium,
potassium and vitamins A and
K. Not to mention, the nitrate
in spinach can help muscles
perform more efficiently, ac-
cording to a 2011 study publish-
ed in the journal Cell Metabo-
lism.
Blue: Blueberries
Natural foods with a blue or
purple glow contain anthocya-
nins, a phytonutrient known to
be a superfood, according to
Sheth. These foods decrease
our risk for macular degenera-
tion and prevent certain can-
cers and strokes, she says. A
higher intake of anthocyanins
has also been linked to a lower
risk of type 2 diabetes, accord-
ing to a 2012 study published in
the American Journal of Clini-
cal Nutrition. Blueberries are a
superstar in their own right,
serving up more antioxidants
than most fruits and vegeta-
bles, as well as healthy doses of
vitamins K and C, fiber and
manganese.
Purple: Grapes
Grapes possess an antiox-
idant trump card, of sorts: res-
veratrol. Many studies indicate
that the substance may chip
away at a number of different
types of cancers and prevent
against heart disease. To boot,
the nutritious orbs may also
prevent age-related blindness,
according to research from Cal-
ifornia Table Grape Commis-
sion. Theyll also give you sub-
stantial amounts of vitamins K
and C.
White: Banana
You may not think pale foods
fit this technicolour food
scheme, but white fruits and
veggies can be beneficial to
your health. More and more
people say to stay away from
white foods, but naturally oc-
curring white foods give us
good nutrients, says Sheth. In
fact fruits with white flesh
such as bananas, apples, pears
and cauliflower may keep
strokes away, according to a
Dutch study published in the
journal Stroke. Bananas con-
centration of B6 and potassium
which can boost your mood
and help your heart, respective-
ly make them a solid achro-
matic choice.

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: Fed-Up
Father in Minnesota
(Jan. 20) caught his
difficult 16-year-old
daughter smoking
pot and is consider-
ing sending her to a
place for troubled
teens. We sent our son to such a
program on the advice of an educa-
tion consultant, and he almost didnt
make it back alive. An untreated men-
tal illness had been misdiagnosed as a
behavioral problem.
You gave the right advice. Get an
evaluation from a reputable clinic or
mental health professional, then look
for options close to home. Parents
need to hang on and not be lured into
thinking theres a magical solution.
Ann in Chapel Hill, N.C.
Dear Ann: I advised Fed-Up to have
a psychologist identify whats trou-
bling his daughter, and that sending
her away should be only a last resort.
Readers were eager to comment:
Dear Abby: Fed-Up should con-
sider an intervention like the Scared
Straight program. Teens are shown
where their bad behavior leads, tour
a prison and see inmates serving time
for similar conduct. The inmates also
share their stories in an effort to turn
the teens lives around. Sometimes a
rude awakening is the answer.
Brittany in the South
Dear Abby: I was sent to board-
ing school because I was acting out
and probably on my way to bigger
troubles. While there, I was exposed
to more than Id ever been at home.
There were poorly supervised kids
engaged in sexual activity, every rec-
reational drug imaginable and free-
flowing alcohol. I survived, but had
the good sense to tell my parents and
didnt return for a second year. What
worked for me was attentive parents
and a good therapist who provided
me a safe, constructive way to sort
out my issues.
Boarding School Survivor
Dear Abby: I work for a nonprofit
childcare organization that provides
community-based services to families
struggling with this situation. We
tailor services to meet the specific
needs of a family in their home en-
vironment, providing interventions
without the disruption of out-of-home
placement.
Professional staff assess the case
and develop a plan to resolve the is-
sues, taking into account the family
dynamic and home/school environ-
ment. This kind of family mentorship
is a step in the right direction to re-
store relationships.
Belinda P., Amarillo, Texas
Dear Abby: On the advice of a
therapist, we enlisted the help of an
education consultant and sent our
15-year-old son away for 21 months of
psychological treatment for troubled
teens. It saved his life and made
us a family again. The consultant
can steer the family to a reputable
program that fits. It can be an over-
whelming decision, but the consul-
tants help was invaluable.
Dont wait too long, Fed-Up. Once
your daughter is 18, many of the op-
tions disappear. The process isnt
cheap, but whats the cost of a life?
Our son is 17 now, sober, respectful
and looking forward to his future.
Glad We Did It in California

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Learning
isnt always as smooth of a pro-
cess as it is for you right now. It
will be as though you are listen-
ing to the sweet intonations of a
soothing chorus of wisdom and
ancient experience.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your
freedom is becoming increas-
ingly important. Youd rather try
for a weird, far-out dream than
risk feeling claustrophobically
wrapped in a security blanket.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Partnering with someone who
sees you differently will change
the way you see yourself. Youre
skilled in a way you hadnt real-
ized, and with a little more work,
this skill will be viable.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Youll
shift from mood to mood rather
quickly. You could blame it on
your connection with the moon,
your guiding luminary, and her
romantic, mad, poetic influence.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your ambi-
tions may be practical, but they
are fueled by a childlike idealism
that has been a part of who you
are since birth. Knowing whats
at the root of your motivation
will add gusto to your efforts.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your
personal effort brings about a
quality experience for someone
else. You cant help but take that
responsibility seriously. This is
one of the reasons youre so
popular now.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Someone
who has wronged you will
endeavor to make things right.
This person may not succeed
in this effort, at least not by
your standards, but you may be
moved to forgiveness.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Its a
complex world, and it takes a
complex mind like yours to navi-
gate it well. At the end of the
day, you may feel exhausted by
your own complications.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
You keep after your desire
because it burns in you. Tenacity
is more than a talent; its a habit.
It may be the habit that helps
you go down in history.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Ever practical, you will get on
with the business of loving your
family and friends in a way they
can see, touch and count on. You
believe your works prove the sin-
cerity and depth of your feelings.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). To
anyone trying to break into a
new business, the business world
can be hard and uninviting, an
endless series of closed clubs.
Your cheerful demeanor helps to
melt the first line of defense.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Big
change can happen when you
start small. Youll make new
agreements, especially with
yourself. The key to keeping
them is to make them extremely
pleasurable and easily achieved.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (March 27).
Your year opens with a touch
of glamour as you improve your
personal environment. The next
six weeks feature a change in
your social lineup. Youll make
new friends, and people from
the past return with fresh, excit-
ing energy. June features love
and laughter and travel. Family
events are featured in August.
Taurus and Leo people adore
you. Your lucky numbers are: 4,
2, 14, 39 and 30.
