WASHINGTON On the
eve of their Super Tuesday
showdown, Mitt Romney and
Rick Santorum strained for an
edge in Ohio on Monday and
braced for the 10 primaries and
caucuses likely to redefine the
race for the Republican presi-
dential nomination.
Newt Gingrich, though win-
less for morethana month, cam-
paigned in Tennessee and is-
sued a stream of signals that he
intended to stay in the race.
Inaracemarkedbyunpredict-
ability, Romneys superior orga-
nization and the support of an
especially deep-pocketed super
PACallowed himto compete all
across the Super Tuesday land-
scape and potentially pick up
more than half of the 419 dele-
gates at stake.
Santorumcast the race in bib-
lical terms, his David vs. Rom-
neys Goliath. Even that is
probably a little bit of an under-
statement, he added.
By contrast, Romney project-
ed confidence. I hope that I get
the support of people here in
Ohio tomorrow, and in other
states across the country. I be-
lieve if I do, Ill get the nomina-
tion, he said.
Primaries in Ohio, Georgia,
Massachusetts, Vermont, Vir-
ginia, Oklahoma and Tennessee
plus caucuses in Idaho, North
Dakota and Alaska make today
the busiest day of the primary
season.
Unlike previous Republican
campaigns, when a primary
winner would typically win all
of a states delegates, allocations
this year generally reflect the
split in the popular vote. As a re-
sult, several candidates may be

Thats what close to 200 residents of the

after they packed into the Wyoming Area
High School cafeteria for a visioning meeting
organized with the help of the Federal Emer-

West Pittston Council President Barry Ho-

officials to have the town and its residents
and business owners participate in a disaster
recovery program that has proven itself
throughout the country.
When the Susquehanna River overflowed
its banks in September after Tropical Storm
Lee, several towns in Luzerne County suf-
fered major flood damage, and West Pittston
was among the worst-hit.
Since January, a steering committee a
volunteer groupof citizens whoreallyhave a
vision for West Pittston, know what it was
and hope to get it back again has been
working with the FEMAteamto set a plan in
motion for the towns recovery.
The only way to do that is not throughour

SomeLuzerneCountyCouncil
members are recommending the
county seek applicants for a per-
manent council clerk position.
Thecouncil members, part of a
special clerk to council subcom-
mittee chaired by Councilman
Tim McGinley, said during a
Monday
night meet-
ing that
council did
not have
enough
time to con-
centrate on
the position
in the initial
transition to
home rule.
Roughly
40 people
had applied when the position
was advertised by the home rule
transition committee, but the
council opted for a temporary
clerk, selecting former commis-
sioner executive assistant Co-
lette Check.
The committee wants to pre-
sent a job description to council
for final approval later this month
so the position may be publicly
advertised around April 15. Ap-
plications would be due May 15,
with a target of selecting some-
one by June 15.
Theclerkshouldpreparecoun-
cil meeting minutes, update the
council on state issues impacting
counties and report happenings
at ancillary county board and au-
thority meetings, the committee
agreed.
Committee members said the
clerk will handle more than sec-
retarial duties, and they recom-
mend seeking someone with a
college degree or equivalent rele-
vant experience.
County Manager Robert Law-
ton said his staff will prepare
most of the council meeting
agendas, which will free up the
clerk to handle other work.
Employees who were recently
laid off due to budget cuts will be
notified of the opening in case
theyre qualified and interested
in applying, the committee
agreed.
The possibility of a council
clerk secretary position has been
mentioned, but committee mem-
bers agreed they dont want to
addanother positionat this time.
Also Monday night, the first
members of the countys newAc-
countability, Conduct and Ethics
Commissionweresworninat the
county courthouse: Lawton,
county Controller Walter Grif-
fith, District Attorney Stefanie
Salavantis and citizens Margaret
Monahan Hogan and Bruce
Simpson.
The commission, created by
the home rule charter, will police
the new ethics code. This code
encourages workers and officials
to expose questionable activity,
misuse or waste of county funds
and alleged corruption.
Simpson suggested one of the
citizen representatives serve as
chairperson, andthecommission
agreed and unanimously ap-
pointed Hogan.
Commission members plan to
discuss the proposed ethics code
at the next meeting, which was
scheduled at 5 p.m. Monday in
the countys EmergencyManage-
ment Agency building.
The proposed ethics and per-
sonnel codes may be viewed on

DALLAS TWP. The Dallas
School Board approved changes
to the high and middle schools
course offerings for the 2012-13
school year at a meeting Monday.
Inthehighschool, major chang-
es include the addition of several
classes to accommodate the op-
portunities
made availa-
ble since the
completion
of the new
high school
building last
September.
Board
President
Catherine
Wega said
the school was designed to in-
clude facilities for more elective
courses, such as in the fields of
electronics, prototyping, food
preparation and others.
Wega also said the high school
has fostered a relationship with
theWest SideCareer andTechnol-
ogy Center in Pringle in which
Dallas students can take classes
part-time at the institutionas elec-
tives.
Traditionally, if students want-
ed to take classes at the technol-
ogy center, they would have to re-
move themselves fromDallas and
enroll there, saidWega. Now, if a
student wants to take one or two
technologycourses at the technol-
ogycenter that wedont offer, they
cando that andstill remainDallas
students.
Wega saidtransportationhas al-
ready beenaccommodatedfor the
arrangement, and there will be
discussion as to whether the rela-
tionship will be reciprocal for Dal-
las students attending the West
Side Career and Technology Cen-
ter.
At the middle school, two for-
eign language courses offered in
eighth grade conversational
French and introductory French
will be eliminated, said Principal
Thomas Duffy.
He said this is part of aligning
the curriculum with the high
school foreign language depart-
ment, which is in the middle of
restructuring.
The following four courses in
the foreign language department
will be offered to seventh grade:
exploration of word origins, intro-
duction to Spanish, cultural geog-
raphy and exploration of critical
and contemporary world languag-
es.
Duffy said these courses would
not require a change in staffing at
the middle school.
In other business, the board al-
sohiredPaul Dumondas assistant
high school football coach with a
stipend of $3,976, and Rich Du-
mond as middle school assistant
football coach with a stipend of
$2,725.

meeting will be at
7 p.m. March 12 in

building next to

tary.

MUNICIPAL BRIEFS
DORRANCE TWP. Acting
on a request from attorney John
G. Dean, supervisors voted
unanimously Monday night to
grant a 60-day extension on a
land development application
filed by Edward and Sandra But-
ton, of Button Oil Co.
The applicationinvolves a pro-
posed propane tank depot that
Button is seeking to establish in
the township at the Dorrance ex-
it of Interstate 81.
That matter has been contest-
ed by Alan Snelson, township
zoning officer, and is currently
being considered by District
Judge Ronald Swank of Moun-
tain Top. Ahearing was conduct-
ed in Swanks court in mid-Janu-
ary, but Swank has yet to render
a decision. Snelson contends
Button has not complied with
prevailing township code.
The extension was discussed
briefly at the February supervi-
sors meeting, but according to
the meeting agenda, a vote was
carried over to this month.
Inanother legal matter, the su-
pervisors stated that according
tocorrespondence fromLuzerne
County Court, a case filed
against them by Kevin Casey, of
Small Mountain Road, has been
dismissed by the court against
all defendants. At issue is the
proposed expansion of the Penn-
sy Supply Co. Inc., which is lo-
catedadjacent to Caseys proper-
ty.
Casey and his attorney, Wil-
liam Higgs of Mountain Top,
said, however, the matter is far
fromover. Higgs said he plans to
appeal the courts decision and,
if necessary, will re-file the com-
plaint. Casey contends the su-
pervisors are biased against him
and, instead, are supportive of
Pennsys proposed expansion.
Casey said the supervisors
have been conducting private
meetings on the quarry, which
is a violation of the opening
meetings lawandhis civil rights.
The supervisors reiterated
they have no problem with the
aspect of blasting when the
Nuangola sewer project is imple-
mented. Royce Engler, chair-
man, said that because only a
small segment of the project will
pass throughDorrance inanarea
which is sparsely inhabited, he
has no issue with the prospect of
blasting.
The supervisors said applica-
tions are being accepted for an
individual to succeed Patricia
Ostrowski as an alternate mem-
ber of the zoning hearing board.
Ostrowski resigned recently.
Also, the board approved a
$100 donation to the Wright
Township Recreation Organiza-
tion for fireworks on July 3 and
announced that the annual East-
er Egg Hunt is scheduled for
March 17 at the township base-
ball field.

WILKES-BARRE Papers
filed Monday in county court
indicate the family of a man
who died in a hit-and-run crash
will be filing a lawsuit against
the driver who struck the man.
Attorney Michael Lombardo
filed a writ of summons a
legal document that notifies a
person of a pending suit
against Karen and Joseph
McCann on behalf of his cli-
ents, Rosemary and Aloysius
McLaughlin.
McCann, 33, is charged in
the June 2011 crash that killed
64-year-old Aloysius McLaugh-
lin. Police said McCann was
driving a Chevrolet Trailblazer
that struck and killed
McLaughlin, who was working
as a landscaper in front of a
home at 173 Third Ave. in
Kingston at the time. Prosecu-
tors say McCann had cocaine
and prescription medications
in her system at the time of
the incident.
Court papers detailing the
complaint and reasons for it
have not yet been filed. Lom-
bardo could not be reached for
comment Monday.
The writ of summons in-
dicates the lawsuit stems from
a motor vehicle accident and
will request monetary damag-
es outside the arbitration lim-
its.

WILKES-BARRE City Council and
not Mayor Tom Leighton will decide
whether to waive $50,000 in city permit
fees for the demolition of the Hotel Ster-
ling, the citys two attorneys said.
Its definitelycouncils decision, Tim
Henry said.
Beforeanypermit fees canbewaived,
it has togobefore City Council, Bill Vin-
sko agreed.
A majority of council members inter-
viewed Monday said they would oppose
dropping the fee, which would be paid
by Luzerne County. They cited the citys
financial investment in the Sterling.
The issue will be discussed at City
Councils work session tonight and at
the regular meeting Thursday.
Drew McLaughlin, the citys adminis-
trative coordinator, said the $50,000 in
fees would be paid by the contractor, not
the county directly.
Council Vice Chairman Bill Barrett
said he understands the county is trying
to save money, but the city has a put a lot
into the Sterling. Barrett said the city
paid for safety inspections and engineer-
ing reports, in addition to allocating
some gaming funds to the project.
I think the $50,000 waiver is a little
bit much to ask for, Barrett said.
Barrett said he is willing to work with
the county to come to some type of an
agreement. He said he is concerned
about expenses the citywill incur during
demolition.
I dont think we should waive it
$50,000 is a lot of money, said Council
Chairman Mike Merritt. But he is open
to further discussion with the county.
We need to come to some kind of
agreement, he said.
Councilman George Brown said the
permit fees should stand. He said that if
the county walks away, the city will have
to look at its options.
Im always open to ideas, he said.
One council member Tony George,
District B says the building needs to
come down and the city should waive
the fees to expedite demolition. George
said the city should retain control over
the demolition to ensure safety is main-
tained.
Councilwoman Maureen Lavelle isnt
sure how shell vote on the issue. She
said she will have questions when the
Sterling fees W-B councils call
City attorneys say its the City
Council, not the mayor, wholl decide
whether to waive demolition fees.

MAJOR STATE STREET SCHOOL EXPANSION UNDER WAY
CLARK VAN ORDEN/THE TIMES LEADER
T
he new size of Wyoming Valley Wests State Street Elementary School has taken shape as construction continues in Larksville. The school
district is nearly doubling the capacity of the building, from about 600 students to close to 1,200, which will allow the district to close two of
its aging elementary schools. The projects cost is $28 million.
WILKES-BARRE Luzerne County
officials plan to get records out of the
Thomas C. Thomas Building because it
was deemed inappropriate for docu-
ment storage, but the time frame and
new location are still unknown.
State archive experts advised the
county in June 2010 to find another
space because the leased downtown
Wilkes-Barre structure suffers temper-
ature extremes, lacks security, leaks and
is a fire hazard.
County records stored at the Union
Street property include wills and other
estate files dating back to the 1700s and
old marriage license applications, offi-
cials said.
The county records improvement
committee, which now includes County
Manager Robert Lawton, discussed
Monday the possibility of temporarily
housing the records in a county facility
while permanent options are explored.
The county-owned former Valley
Crest Nursing Home in Plains Township
and former juvenile detention center off
River Street near the courthouse were
mentioned as both temporary and per-
manent options by some committee
members.
Committee Chairman Dominick De-
Polo provided an e-mail from county
Chief Engineer Joe Gibbons indicating
the Valley Crest complex doesnt have a
suitable spot to accommodate record
storage. Building a new record facility
somewhere else on the 62.35-acre prop-
erty may be the best option, Gibbons
said in the e-mail.
Construction of a new record facility
at the detention center site would cost
anestimated$3.4 million, accordingtoa
prior outside engineering assessment.
The site is close to the courthouse,
above the flood plain and would replace
a liability with a needed structure, but
New storage
for records
still unknown
State experts have deemed Thomas

PLYMOUTH A woman was arrested
Monday on charges she stabbed her boy-
friend in the chest during an argument
that children inside the house described
as the worst fight ever, worse than the
rest,accordingtothecriminal complaint.
Carla Santos, 26, of East Main Street,
was arraigned by Nanticoke District
Judge Donald Whittaker on two counts
each of aggravated assault and simple as-
sault, andasinglecount of recklessendan-
germent. She was jailed at the Luzerne
County Correctional Facility for lack of
$150,000 bail.
Police allege Santos stabbed Stephen
Hollman in the chest inside their resi-
dence just after 1a.m. Hollman was trans-
portedtoGeisinger WyomingValleyMed-
ical Center, Plains
Township.
Hollman suffered a
collapsedlungfromthe
stabbing, police said.
Santos initially
claimed Hollman was
stabbed while wres-
tling with a dog in the
rear yard.
Court records in an unrelated case in-
dicate Hollman is scheduled for a trial in
Luzerne County Court on charges he as-
saultedSantos anddamagedher property
in their residence on June 25.
According to the criminal complaint:
When police arrived they found Holl-
man lying on the floor and bleeding from
his torso yelling for help.
Santos initially told police she did not
know what happened and said Hollman
was stabbed while wrestling with a pet
dog in the backyard. Blood spatter and a
bloody knife were found on the floor, and
the rear door appeared to have been
kicked in, police said.
Police said six children found in a sec-
ond-floor bedroom described the argu-
ment as the worst fight ever, worse than
the rest, the complaint says.
Police said Santos later admitted she
stabbed Hollman during an argument af-
ter he pushed her against a kitchen sink.
She said Hollman sent her threatening
messages while she was in New York on
Sunday.
She said that when she arrived home,
she heard Hollman, whom she described
as being a very jealous guy, walk up the
stairs and he began arguing with her. She
went downstairsbecausechildrenwereon
the second floor.
Santos said Hollman searched a gar-
bage can looking for something, and she
locked himoutside before he kicked open
the rear door, according to the complaint.
Santos said she grabbed the knife to
scare Hollman, telling police, It was
something that wasnt supposed to hap-
pen.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled on
March14 before Whittaker.

The Pennsylvania State Police did
not commit an unfair labor practice
when a commander took disciplinary
action, which was later rescinded,
against two troopers who conducted
their own investigation of a superior,
a state appellate court has ruled.
The investigating troopers claimed
their superior had been dumping per-
sonal trash in a Dumpster at the state
police barracks in Wyoming.
The state Commonwealth Court
on Monday upheld a Pennsylvania
Labor Relations Board ruling that
dismissed a complaint that was filed
by a union on behalf of state police
troopers Gerald Williams and Joseph
Plant.
Williams and Plant alleged Capt.
John Dougherty, former commander
of Troop P in Wyoming, wrongly is-
sued disciplinary action reports
against them in June 2009 after find-
ing they had initiated an unautho-
rized investigation into Capt. Wil-
liam Oliphant, who they claimed was
dumping garbage into the Dumpster.
Williams and Plant, both of whom
were officers with the Fraternal Or-
der of Police Lodge 43, alleged the
action was motivated by animus to-
ward the union, as well as to dissuade
other troopers from reporting wrong-
doing of superiors.
According to the Commonwealth
Court ruling, Dougherty had issued
the actions based on the results of a
separate investigation into Oliphant,
which concluded the allegations
against him were unfounded.
Dougherty later began to question
the accuracy of the investigation into
Oliphant. He concluded that Oli-
phant had, in fact, dumped personal
trash. Nevertheless, Dougherty de-
termined Williams and Plant had vio-
lated procedure by failing to get au-
thorization to investigate Oliphant.
Based on totality of the circum-
stances, Dougherty determined dis-
ciplinary action was not warranted
against the troopers, however, and re-
scinded the disciplinary action re-
ports.
In their complaint to the Labor Re-
lations Board, Williams and Plant
claimed the investigation into Oli-
phant was a sham, and that Dough-
ertys actions were based on an anti-
union bias.
The Labor Relations Board dismis-
sed the complaint, finding there was
insufficient evidence to support the
bias allegations. The union then ap-
pealed to the Commonwealth Court.
In a 15-page opinion, the court
agreed with the Labor Relations
board that Dougherty had provided
sufficient evidence that he had a val-
id, non-discriminatory reason for is-
suing the disciplinary report. The
court said, at best, the union had
proved a suspicion of anti-union
animus, but that was not sufficient to
meet its burden of proof.
Evidence proving suspicion and
conjecture does not constitute sub-
stantial evidence of anti-union bias,
the court said.
Court rules state police did not break labor law
Troopers who conducted own probe
of superior were disciplined, though
discipline report later rescinded.

A state Superior Court three-
judge panel is set to convene in
Lackawanna County next week
to hold a community session
open to the public.
President Judge Correale Ste-
vens and judges Jack Panella and
Sallie Updyke Mundy will hear
arguments ina variety of cases on
March 13 and 14 at the Mellow
Theater on Vine Street in Scran-
ton.
While our regular courtrooms
are in Philadelphia, Harrisburg
and Pittsburgh, our judges are
committed to taking court ses-
sion into various counties, law
schools and have even held ses-
sions in a high school setting,
Stevens said in a release Monday.
Appeals that will be held next
week include termination of pa-
rental rights, a third-degree mur-
der conviction, landlord-tenant
issues, the legality of a police
search and a juvenile delinquen-
cy case.
All our court sessions are
open to the public, and the Mel-
lowTheater is a beautiful facility.
We will remain available after the
cases are heard for a question-
and-answer period about the
court andits decision-making, es-
pecially if there are students who
attend, Stevens said.
The high court hears about
8,000 appeals a year and decides
cases inpanels of threejudges, as-
signed randomly.
Most cases are evaluated by
the court papers filed in the case
along with a transcript. Oral ar-
gument is scheduled at different
times throughout the year.
Most people are familiar with
how trial courts operate in that
the witnesses appear, jury trials
occur and there is some type of
verdict, Stevens said. The
Lackawanna session will give
peopletheopportunitytoseeand
hear legal arguments in an appel-
late court setting.
The entire state Superior
Courts nine judges met for an en
banc meeting in April 2011 at the
MMI high school in Freeland.
Stevens said at the time it was
the first time the nine-judge pan-
el met in a high school.
Stevens said summaries of
each case will be provided to all
those in attendance at Tuesday
and Wednesdays sessions.
The sessions will begin at 9:30
a.m. on Tuesday and 10 a.m. on
Wednesday.

POLICE BLOTTER
matter is discussed this week.
Weve paid county fees in the
past, she said. My decision will
be based on what is in the best in-
terests of the city.
Luzerne County Council mem-
bers are weighingoptions onhow
to proceed. The county can pro-
vide $1 million for demolition,
mothball the building for possi-
ble future development or do
nothing.
The county has a stake in the
property because of $6 million in
community development loans
for the project.
If the county walks away, the
city, which condemned the 114-
year-old structure, could be
forcedtocome upwiththe demo-
lition cost, placing a lien against
the property to recoup its costs
when the site is developed.
Leightons letter
Mayor Leightonsent a letter to
James Bobeck, chairman of the
county council, explaining how
the city has spent thousands of
dollars to commission two inde-
pendent structural engineers re-
ports that state the building is a
clear and present danger to the
public safety of Wilkes-Barre.
Based on the report, the city im-
plemented a detour around the
Sterling to protect the public un-
til a permanent solution to the
problem could be resolved.
Hesaidthedetour cost $13,000
to set up and $5,000 a month to
maintain.
Leighton said waiving permit
fees on the project was never dis-
cussed during any conversations
dating back to September 2011.
This 11th-hour requirement is
an unreasonable demand,
Leighton said.
The mayor said he is willing to
work with the county, noting the
city has more than $300,000 in-
vested in the project.
I continue to have conversa-
tions with county officials and
county council and I remain con-
fident that we can reach a mutual
agreement and move this project
forward to better the city and the
county, Leighton said.

The county unsuccessfully
tried to negotiate a reduction in
the countys $8,600 monthly rent
for the Thomas C. Thomas prop-
erty, officials said Monday.
DePolo said the countys re-
cord improvement fund, which
comes from a fee on recorded
deeds, has $115,000, and it would
cost an estimated $40,000 to
move records elsewhere.
Past county commissioners
had allocated $2 million in bor-
rowed bond funding for a record
facility.
Plans to buy the former Two
Jacks Cycle &Powersports build-
ing on North Washington Street
for record storage were halted
late last year because committee
members wanted to leave the de-
cision up to the new home rule
administration.
Also Monday, the committee
voted to pay Harrisburg-based
Maher Duessel the last $4,000 of
its $17,800 payment to complete a
forensic audit of past record fund

In another matter, resident
John Likon of Scott Street said
a tree near his residence had
been damaged in September

now in contact with live wires.
He said he had contacted UGI

Alunni indicated the council
would contact both companies
to ascertain who was respon-

In another matter, Council-

JACKSON TWP. The board
of supervisors approved a mo-
tion to move forward with the
Bulford Road sewer project at a
meeting Monday.
SupervisorAl Foxsaidthepro-
ject is almost ready to begin. It
includes installing a sewer sys-
tem for 19 residences because
the current system has failed.
Theprojects costs will besplit
between the 19 residences and
the township. Fox said at previ-
ous meetings that no grants
were available for the project,
and the state Department of En-
vironmental Protection had sug-
gestedtheplanas theonlyviable
measuretocompletetheproject.
One Bulford Road resident,
Mary Docery, questioned why
the township could not find al-
ternate sources of funding.
Fox said after holding several
meetings, most of the residents
involved understand and have
been compliant.
Supervisor John Wilkes Jr.
said at a previous meeting that
the project benefits just those
Bulford Road citizens, and the
cost-splitting plan alleviates
what residents would have to
pay by themselves.
The board also heard from
Paul Pasonick, an engineer from
Larksville Borough, about possi-
bly tying into the townships
sewer system for five homes in
the Valley ViewEstates develop-
ment.
He said engineers have de-
vised several ways to correct
sewage problems in the develop-
ment, and one includes connect-
ing a low-pressure system into
the townships sewer map.
The board told Pasonick he
can work on the plan with the
townships engineer. The plan
would need to be approved by
Jackson Township, the Dallas
Area Municipal Authority and
the state DEP.
Solicitor Jeff Malak said the
township is working with Larks-
ville Borough to resolve issues
regardingoutstandingpayments
for services rendered to Steele
Road in the borough.
Larksvilleis topay$400yearly
in liquid fuels funds to Jackson
Township for maintenance of
the road. Larksville has not
made a payment since 2005.
According to a letter from

ough would like to pay its out-
standing balance in installments
and requests the borough be
billed from now on to ensure
payment.

Thousands protest Putin
W
ith police helicopters hovering
low over central Moscow and
security forces blanketing the streets,
at least 20,000 protesters gathered
Monday to accuse Vladimir Putin of
stealing Russias presidential election
and demand his immediate resigna-
tion.
The Central Election Commission
reported that Putin, seeking to regain
the presidency after four years as prime
minister, won in the first round Sunday
with 64.7 percent of the vote. The
result puts Putin, who previously
served eight years as president, on
track to possibly serve two new six-
year terms.
Both international and Russian ob-
servers said they had detected numer-
ous serious irregularities. And the
opposition movement that sprouted in
response to reports of widespread
cheating in parliamentary elections in
December said it would step up its
protest campaign.

25 police gunned down
Assailants waving the battle flag of
al-Qaida gunned down 25 policemen
Monday in a brazen and well-orches-
trated challenge to government control
over a strategic town fraught with Iraq
war symbolism.
The attack replicated tactics used by
Sunni insurgents during the war and
appeared aimed at reasserting al-Qai-
das grip now that the Iraqis can no
longer rely on American help.
The attackers drove through the
town of Haditha claiming to be govern-
ment officials and methodically execut-
ed guards and commanders. After half
an hour they escaped into the desert,
leaving a terrified populace demanding
protection. Local authorities imposed a
curfew and deployed troops.

Nurse accused in killings
A prosecutor says an East Texas

dialysis patients by injecting them with
toxic bleach violated the trust of a
noble profession.
Angelina County District Attorney
Clyde Herrington laid out the accusa-
tions Monday during opening state-
ments in the trial of Kimberly Saenz.
The 38-year-old nurse is charged with
capital murder in the April 2008 deaths
and aggravated assault in the case of
five other patients injured at the DaVita
Dialysis clinic in Lufkin.
Prosecutors say theyll seek the

TEHRAN, IRAN
Ex-Marine to be retried
Irans Supreme Court has ordered
the retrial of an ex-U.S. Marine who
was sentenced to death on charges of
working for the CIA, a news agency
reported Monday.
The case has added even more ten-
sion to U.S.-Iran relations, as Washing-
ton and its allies press ahead with
sanctions over Irans contentious nucle-
ar development program, and Iran
threatens punishing retaliation if it is
attacked.
Amir Hekmati, 28, was sentenced to
death in January, the first American to
receive a death penalty since the 1979
Islamic Revolution in Iran. Hekmati
was born in Arizona. His parents are of
Iranian origin.
Iran accuses Hekmati of receiving
special training while serving at U.S.
military bases in Iraq and Afghanistan.

WASHINGTON The United States
and Israel agree that diplomacy is the
best way to resolve the crisis over poten-
tial Iranian nuclear weapons, President
Barack Obama said Monday, an optimis-
tic view that Israels leader declined to
publicly endorse.
Both the prime minister and I prefer
to solve this diplomatically, Obama said
as he and Israeli Prime Minister Benja-
min Netanyahu began several hours of
White House consultations. The U.S. will
consider all options in confronting what
it sees as the unacceptable outcome of an
Iranian bomb, Obama said.
Netanyahu used a brief, cordial session
in front of the White House cameras to
remind his host that Israel will decide for
itself how to confront a looming threat
that both unites and divides the longtime
allies.
Israel, he said, must remain the mas-
ter of its fate.
That was a pointed reference to the
main question hanging over Mondays
high-stakes meeting: Whether to try to
stop an Iranian bomb by with a military
attack in the next several months. Many
in the Israeli government lean toward
striking very soon, a course
the Obama administration
sees as dangerously prema-
ture.
Looking directly at Obama,
Netanyahu said Iran is right
about one thing: Israel and
the United States are indistin-
guishable as Irans enemies.
We are you and you are
us, he said.
Obama will try to persuade
Netanyahu to slow quickening pressure
among many in his hawkish government
to attack Irans disputed nuclear develop-
ment sites.
Eachmantriedto display unity despite
policy and personal differences, but end-
ed up putting some of their divisions on
display.
Israel and America stand together,
Netanyahu said.
The president is expected to tell Neta-
nyahu in private at the White House that
although the U.S. is committed to Israels
security it does not want to be dragged
into another war. Obama is unlikely to
spell out U.S. red lines markers that
would trigger a military re-
sponse despite Israeli pres-
sure to do so.
It is profoundly in the Unit-
ed States interest to prevent
Iran from obtaining a nuclear
weapon. We do not want to see
a nuclear arms race in one of
the most volatile regions inthe
world. We do not want the pos-
sibility of a nuclear weapon
falling into the hands of terror-
ists, we do not want a regime that has
been a state sponsor of terrorists being
able to feel that it can act more aggres-
sively, Obama said.
Obama previewed the Oval Office
meeting with a speech Sunday to Amer-
ican supporters of Israel, a key constitu-
ency in this election year.
Obama saidhe doesnt want war but in-
sists he would attack Iran if that was the
only option left to stop that nation from
getting a nuclear weapon.

QAA, Lebanon Syrian refu-
gees fleeing to neighboring Leba-
non on Monday said they feared
theywouldbeslaughteredintheir
own homes as government forces
hunted down opponents in a bru-
tal offensive against the opposi-
tion stronghold of Homs.
Withworldpressureat apeakin
the crisis, U.S. Sen. John McCain
called for airstrikes against Syria.
He said the United States has a
moral and strategic obligation to
force out Assad
and his loyal-
ists.
The only re-
alisticwaytodo
so is with for-
eign airpower,
McCain said
fromtheSenate
floor. The
United States
should lead an
international
effort to protect
key population
centers in Sy-
ria, especially
in the north,
through air-
strikes on As-
sads forces.
The U.N. refugee agency said
Monday that as many as 2,000
Syrians crossed into Lebanon
over the last two days to flee the
violence in their country. In the
Lebanese border village of Qaa,
families with women with small
children came carrying only plas-
tic bags filled with a few belong-
ings.
We fled the shelling and the
strikes, said Hassana Abu Firas,
who came from al-Qusair, in
Homs province
What are we supposed to do?
People are sitting in their homes
and they are hitting us with
tanks, Firassaid. Thosewhocan
flee, do. Those who cant will die
sitting down.
Lebanese security officials say
more than 10,000 Syrians are be-
lievedtobe inthe country. One of-
ficial said as many as 3,000 are be-
lieved to have crossed in recent
days because of violence inHoms,
though it is unclear how many
have returned to Syria.
Inside Lebanon, many Syrians
fear agents from their own coun-
trys security services. Stories
have circulated of kidnappings
and collaboration between Leba-
nese and Syrian security forces.
As international condemnation
mounts, the Syrianregime agreed
toallowintwoprominent interna-
tional emissariesit hadpreviously
rebuffed former U.N. Secreta-
ry-General Kofi Annan, the new
special envoy to Syria, and U.N.
humanitarian chief Valerie Amos.

MARYSVILLE, Ind. This
tiny Indiana farm town has no
mayor, no school and no shop-
ping center. And after last
weeks deadly tornadoes, it has
virtually nowhere left to live.
Nearly every home in Marys-
ville was destroyed or so badly
damaged it will probably have
to be torn down a realization
that raised an emotional ques-
tion for people still gathering
belongings fromthe debris: Is it
worth rebuilding a place that
has so little?
In some of the tiny communi-
ties smashed by the violent
weather, the idea hangs in the
air, raising doubts even among
families who have lived in the
same place for generations.
Before it was erased by the
storm, Marysville had been a
hub of farming activity in deep
southern Indiana since the
mid-1800s.
But as they surveyed the dev-
astation, some townspeople
concluded it would be easier to
abandonthevillageandlookfor
work inLouisville, Ky., 30 miles
to the south.
I think this community is
pretty much gone. I dont think
anyonewill rebuild. Alot of peo-
ple had no insurance, Scott
Meadors said Sunday as he sal-
vaged belongings from the
storms aftermath.
When a bigger population
center such as Joplin, Mo., is
crippled by tornadoes, there is
rarely any question about re-
building. Larger cities typically
have greater resources and de-
fined downtowns to serve as fo-
cal points. But this flyspeck vil-
lage may have suffered a mortal
blow.
Sean Gilbert says theres
nothing to do but move away.
He doubts little if anything will
be rebuilt in Marysville, a town
of a few hundred inhabitants
that was struggling econom-
ically even before Fridays
storms, which killed 40 people
in five states.
Gilbert, who works at a res-
taurant in the Louisville suburb
of NewAlbany, is staying witha
brother whoalready lives there.
Hes planning to move there
permanently, though his par-
ents are intent on staying.
Other nearby communities
risked losing population, too.
In Chelsea, home to a few
churches, a general store and a
collection of far-flung farms,
some had decided to move on.
One was Erin Boyner, whose
husband, John, was among four
area people killed in the storm.
She felt she had nothing to re-
turn to, said friends who were
helpingpileandburnthescraps
that used to be her home.
Neighbor Shane Caldwell, a
police officer, hadalready made
a deal to sell his property and
move to Hanover, a larger town
nearby where he works.
Tornado damage may doom tiny towns
Some communities left with
so little, people wondering
whether rebuilding worth it.

A heart device might save
your life but leave you miser-
able. That awful possibility is
the reason for newadvice urg-
ing doctors to talk more hon-
estly withpeople whohave ve-
ry weak hearts and are consid-
ering pumps, pacemakers,
new valves or procedures to
open clogged arteries.
Too often, patients with ad-
vancedheart failure dont real-
ize what they are getting into
when they agree to a treat-
ment, and doctors assume
they want everything possible
done to keep them alive, says
the new advice, published
Monday by the American
Heart Association and en-
dorsed by other medical
groups.
It calls for shared decision
making when patients face a
chronic condition that often
proves fatal and they need to
figure out what they really
want for their remaining days.
If they also have dementia or
failing kidneys, the answer
may not be a heart device to
prolong their lives.
Patients may feel that the
treatment was worse than the
disease, said Dr. Larry Allen
of the University of Colorado
Anschutz Medical Center,
who helped draft the new ad-
vice.
Even if it goes well, people
are left with an electrical cord
coming out of their belly and
a higher risk of stroke and
bleeding from the nose or
throat, Allen said.
Many high-tech treatments
are available to treat advanced
disease. But they usually dont
slow its progression, they just
keep people from dying. And
that means living longer with
steadily worsening symp-
toms. Patients dont often un-
derstandthat whenthey agree
to gadgets like an implanted
defibrillator, which shocks a
heart back into normal
rhythm. Defibrillators dont
actually make people feel bet-
ter it doesnt treat the un-
derlying heart failure. All it
does is abort sudden death,
Allen said.
Wider sharing of heart care decisions advised

DIMOCKThe U.S. Environ-
mental Protection Agencys test-
ing of scores of water wells will
giveresidents of this small Suque-
hanna County village a snapshot
of the aquifer they rely on for
drinking, cooking and bathing.
The first EPA test results, ex-
pected this week, are certain to
provide fodder for both sides of a
raging 3-year-old debate over un-
conventional natural gas drilling
and its impacts on Dimock, a ru-
ral crossroads that starred in the
Emmy Award-winning documen-
tary Gasland.
Ahandful of residents are suing
Cabot Oil &Gas Corp., sayingthe
Houston-based driller contami-
nated their wells with potentially
explosive methane gas and with
drilling chemicals. Many other
residents of Dimock assert the
water is clean, and that the plain-
tiffs are exaggerating problems
with their wells to help their law-
suit.
In a letter to EPA Administra-
tor Lisa Jackson, a pro-drilling
group called Enough is Enough
contends the agencys rogue
Philadelphia field office has al-
lowed itself to be a pawn of trial
lawyers seekinga bigpayout from
Cabot. More than 300 people
signed it. Dimock Proud signs
dot lawns throughout the village
in Susquehanna County, one of
the most intensively drilled re-
gions of the Marcellus Shale gas
field.
The same group recently
launched a website aimed at dis-
pelling what it contends is the
myth that Dimocks aquifer is
contaminated.
Residents who have been clam-
oring for federal intervention say
the attacks on the EPA which
have come not only from their
neighbors but from Cabot and
Pennsylvanias environmental
chief are groundless.
Since the EPAs investigation
began, Cabot and (state regula-
tors) have undertaken a shame-
less public campaign against the
EPAs attempt to rescue the vic-
tims who are now without pota-
ble water and prevent their expo-
sure to hazardous constituents
nowpresent intheaquifer, oneof
their lawyers, Tate Kunkle, wrote
recently.
Cabot spokesmanGeorgeStark
said the company opposed the
EPA testing because it creates a
false impression about Dimock.
Its the notion that there must
be something wrong there in or-
der for the EPA to either do test-
ing or to deliver water. I think it
causes more concern, more mis-
trust, moremisinformationabout
the industry overall, he said.
In addition to testing scores of
water wells, the EPA is paying to
deliver fresh water to four homes
where the agency cited worri-
some levels of manganese, sodi-
um and cancer-causing arsenic.
Brian Oram, an independent
geologist and water consultant
from Northeastern Pennsylvania,
said he is puzzled by the agencys
rationale for being in Dimock,
since the substances that EPA
saidits most concernedabout are
naturally occurring andcommon-
ly found in the regional ground-
water.
Nevertheless, Oram supports
the EPA testing because it will
provide water quality data the
parties can trust, and against
which future drilling can be mea-
sured.
Cabot asserts thehighmethane
levels that its owntestinghas con-
sistently found in the Dimock wa-
ter wells are naturally occurring
and easily remediated.
But state regulators have cited
overwhelming evidence, in-
cluding chemical fingerprinting,
that linked the methane in Di-
mocks water supply to improper-
ly cemented gas wells drilled by
Cabot.

HARRISBURG Jerry Sand-
usky is getting some of the prose-
cution records he wants to help
prepare his criminal defense on
child sex abuse charges, but the
Attorney Generals Office argued
in a court filing Monday that he
shouldnt be provided with other
material.
The 15-page response by state
prosecutors said the former Penn
State assistant football coach has
no right through the court dis-
covery process to records that
consist of grandjurymatters, per-
tain to ongoing investigations or
amount to private personal infor-
mation.
They also said Sandusky
should not get psychological
evaluations regarding purported
victims or juvenile arrest records
for someone who isnt a charged
victim.
The prosecution is not re-
quired to turn over every piece of
evidence which might possibly
assist the preparation of the de-
fense, wrote senior deputy attor-
ney general Jonelle H. Eshbach.
The document was dated last
Wednesday but docketed by Cen-
tre County court officials on
Monday.
Sanduskys lawyer, Joe Amen-
dola, saidMonday he was review-
ing the prosecutions latest filling
and expected to soon add to his
request for more information be-
fore the trial.
Sandusky, 68, is scheduled to
goontrial inmid-Mayon52crim-
inal counts accusing him of sex-
ually abusing 10 boys over a 15-
year period. He is confined to his
home while awaiting trial and de-
nies the allegations against him.
Eshbach said Sanduskys law-
yers have already been given a re-
port of a 1998 investigation of
Sandusky by university police, a
probe begun after a woman com-
plained that he had showered
with her son. No charges were fil-
ed as a result. Eshbach said that
report was turned over but with-
out psychological reports, juve-
nile arrest records, phone num-
bers and addresses.
She said that if the judge hand-
ling the case disagreed with the
decision by prosecutors to with-
hold some records, he should
first review them in private be-
fore ruling on their disclosure.
Amendola said the judge would
likely conduct a hearing on pre-
trial issues next week.
The prosecution filing also
saidthat polygraphs havent been
administered in the Sandusky
case and that more than 52,000 e-
mails were obtained. The attor-
ney generals office refusedto dis-
close a witness list, saying every-
one named in the documents
could be called to the stand.
Grand jury material and relat-
ed investigative records can only
be disclosed by getting permis-
sionfromthejudgewhosupervis-
es the secret panel, Eshbach
wrote.
Prosecutors agreed to provide
Sandusky with his own employ-
ment records and said his law-
yers can make arrangements
through the state police to view
several photographs at issue.

nia Fish and Boat Commission,

legislators over the last fewdays.

Yudichak said. Thats our goal for
theshort-term. Thereneedstobea

Mullery said he began reaching
out to state agencies after several
constituentsraisedconcernsabout
the park during a public forum he
held last week with the Fish and
Boat Commission.
Talks between the county and
state would be a starting point for
finding a way to keep the park
open, Mullery said.
MoonLakeisasourceof veryaf-
fordablerecreationforfamilies,he
said. We reached out because
somethingneedstobedoneimme-
diately considering trout season

any alternative strategies to keep
the park operating without addi-
tional county funding.
Prior county commissioners
have said they unsuccessfully re-
questedastatetakeoverof thefacil-
ity.
Possible alternatives include
having state agencies manage cer-
tain aspects of the park. Kingston
resident Norm Gavlick, who is a
commissioner withthePFBC, sug-
gestedthe possibility of his agency
managing the lake and the land
aroundit for fishingandboating.
It couldbe a way for the county
totakethat part of theparkandnot
have to worry about it, Gavlick
said, adding the agency already
manages a handful of lakes in the
county. If theres interest with the
countywecancertainlydiscussthe
possibilities. I think it has poten-
tial.
Wilkes-Barre resident Jay Dela-
ney, who represents the Northeast
Regiononthe PGCs board, was al-
so interested in the possibility of
enrollingsomeof theparkproperty
in the agencys public access pro-
gram.
ThePGCcurrentlymanages nu-
merous properties throughout the
state that are publicly or privately
owned, including Earth Conser-
vancy property in Luzerne County
andBeltzvilleStateParkinCarbon
County, whichisownedbytheU.S.
Army Corps of Engineers.
This has thepotential for avery
goodpartnership, andIsupportthe
concept, Delaney said. It can
work, but it always takes a facilita-
tor tobringthese things together.
Yudichak and Mullery said they
will continuetoworktobringboth
sides to the table. Selling or allow-
ing a private entity to operate the
park arent options that Yudichak
favors.
It concerns mewhenI hear out-
right saleor privatization, hesaid.
Weve had good preliminary dis-
cussions with DCNR, and these
state agencies certainly have a
wealth of experience in running
theseoperations. ThatswhyIwant

FREELAND A man accused
of dragging a police officer with
his vehicle waived his right to a
preliminary hearing before Dis-
trict Judge Gerald Feissner on
Monday.
Michael Daniel Mokshefski
Jr., 27, of Blakeslee, waived to
Luzerne County Court two
counts each of aggravated as-
sault and simple assault, and
one count each of reckless en-
dangerment, fleeing or attempt-
ing to elude police, careless driv-
ing and reckless driving.
State police at Hazleton with-
drew an aggravated assault
count against Mokshefski.
According to state police:
Freeland police Chief Nadine
Sist and Officer Matthew Wil-
liams were investigating a dis-
turbance involving Mokshefski
and three other men on Ridge

Williams was talking to
Mokshefski, who was seated in
his idling Jeep Comanche. Wil-
liams toldMokshefski to turnoff
the Jeeps ignition. When
Mokshefski refused, Williams
reached in to turn off the igni-
tion key.

WILKES-BARRE A Luzerne
County jury was selected Monday
to hear the case of a county prison
officer charged with selling drugs
to another guard, while a fellow
guard will face trial in June on re-
lated charges.
A trial for Christopher Walsh,
29, of Pittston, began with jury se-
lection, and will continue through
Thursday on three drug-related
charges, Judge Joseph Sklarosky
Jr. said.
Jason Fierman, 36, of Wilkes-
Barre, also appeared in Luzerne
CountyCourt onMondaywhenhe
wasscheduledtostandtrial. Hisat-
torneys asked for a continuance to
preparefor thecase, grantedbySe-
nior Judge Kenneth Brown.
Brown scheduled Fiermans
two-day trial to begin in June on
charges he provided drugs to in-
mates and other guards in the
same investigation.
Both men are suspended with-
out pay pending the outcome of
thecharges, prisonWardenJoseph
Piazza has previously said.
Walsh is represented by attor-
ney Michael Butera, while Fier-
man is represented by attorneys
WilliamRuzzo and Basil Russin.
Deputy Attorney General Tim

The two men were charged in
March 2011 along with two other
prison workers, after a 13-month
investigation.
After testimony from a number
of witnesses before a grand jury,
prosecutors learned Walsh alleg-
edly soldcocaine tocorrections of-
ficers a number of times.
Doherty said Monday several
federal agents, as well as Joseph
Ciampi andJohnGonda, will testi-
fy at the trial this week.

HANOVER TWP. -- A Nanti-
coke man accused by Hanover
Township police of stealing
more than $2,800 worth of
items from Dundee Gardens
last year was arraigned Mon-
day.
Michael Anthony Laury, 33,
last known address as East
Main Street, was arraigned on
two counts of theft, and unrelat-
ed counts of receiving stolen
property, possession of marijua-
na, possession of drug par-
aphernalia and harassment. He
was jailed at the Luzerne Coun-
ty Correctional Facility for lack
of $5,000 total bail.
Laury was apprehended by
Newport Township police Sun-
day night.
Hanover Township police al-
lege Laury stole $2,800 worth of
lawn ornaments from Dundee
Gardens in early May, accord-
ing to the criminal complaint.
Police received information
that the stolen items were in-
side Laurys residence. A search
warrant was served at the East
Main Street residence on May
20, when police recovered most
of the stolen items, including
stone and bronze statues, ce-
ramic and plastic flower con-
tainers, an outdoor fireplace,
bird baths, and a rose bush, the
criminal complaint says.
Laurys girlfriend, Kyla Hig-
gins, 23, who formerly resided
at the East Main Street resi-
dence, was sentenced Oct. 6 to
six months in the countys ac-
celerated rehabilitation pro-
gram, a special probationary
program for first-time offend-
ers, on a criminal conspiracy
charge.
Police alleged Higgins acted
as a lookout when Laury stole
the lawn ornaments from the
garden center, the complaint
says.
A preliminary hearing is
scheduled on March 13 before
District Judge Joseph Halesey
in Hanover Township.

Fifty countries have mandatory
labeling. Were one of the only
developed countries that doesnt.
Megan Westgate
The executive director of the Non-GMO Project, a
group that verifies and labels products as free of
genetically modified ingredients, recently questioned why American
consumers typically have less access to that information about their
foods than their counterparts in China and Russia. At least 18 states are
now considering laws that would make the labels mandatory.
Ms. Fluke should pay
for her contraceptives
R
adio talk show host Rush Limbaugh
managed to get himself involved in
another controversy, but other than
using a poor choice of words, he was cor-
rect in denouncing Georgetown University
law student Sandra Fluke for her testimo-
ny before Congress.
What the mainstream broadcast media
failed to let their viewers know, and you
had to read Ms. Flukes biography to real-
ize, she is a left-wing feminist activist.
Though she graduated from Cornell Uni-
versity, she apparently picked Georgetown
University Law School to attend after
reading about its health care policies,
noting that birth control and contraception
devices were not covered.
Georgetown University is a Jesuit in-
stitution. The conclusion I drew from
reading about Ms. Fluke is that her choice
of a college institution to attend seemingly
was to bring it to its knees and eventually
intimidate it. Thats what bully activists
do.
Mr. Limbaugh needs to think more clear-
ly before settling on a choice of words to
use in the future. Ms. Fluke needs to stop
being so cheap and pay for her own contra-
ception, if thats what she believes in.

Pro-life chapter lauds
Bambera, rally organizer
O
n Jan. 28 on Wyoming Avenue in
Scranton, a group of concerned people
gathered to protest the University of
Scrantons invitation to former Congress-
woman Marjorie Margolies, whose record
is very pro-abortion.
There was no protest forthcoming from
the area, so a very concerned person, Mr.
Jim Burke, arranged a most dignified pro-
gram that was supported by the Wyoming
Valley Chapter of Pennsylvanians for Hu-
man Life.
The American Society of Tradition,
Family and Property provided music with
a full band including bagpipes. Prayers
followed. Mr. Burke delivered a timely
message. About 150 people attended. John
Richie of the society showed the crowd a
list of more than 8,000 names of people
who protested the actions of the universi-
ty.
Can the university overlook the fact that
many of these families would have young
people who just might have attended the
university in the future?
News media were in attendance, but not
much got into print.
The crowd would have been greater had
people known of the rally. A recent article
in The Times Leader stated the committee
handling the pro-life prayer breakfast,
being held on the same day as the rally,
said they might announce it at the break-
fast, but no announcement was forthcom-
ing. So sad.
We applaud Mr. Burke for his concern in
arranging this rally, and we also applaud
Bishop Joseph Bambera for speaking out
in defense of the unborn and informing the
university that its decision to give a plat-
form for Margolies was unacceptable.

United Way town meeting
to focus on budget cuts
I
n February, Gov. Tom Corbett unveiled
his budget proposal for the 2012-13 fiscal
year. The governors proposal is a start-
ing point in discussions to craft a state
budget, and we appreciate the very diffi-
cult challenges that confront Gov. Corbett
and the General Assembly in this years
budget process.
As a part of his plan, Gov. Corbett pro-
posed many changes to a variety of state
programs. For example, the governor pro-
posed the use of block grants in the human
services budget.
The administration believes that the
state should give more flexibility at the
county level. Under the proposed change,
the Human Services Development Fund
Block Grant would consolidate seven indi-
vidual human service programs into one
block grant. The affected programs include
mental health services programs, intellec-
tual disability programs, behavioral health
service, homeless assistance, the human
services development fund, and drug and
alcohol programs. Funding for these pro-
grams has been reduced by 20 percent in
this years budget.
In a related development, the state De-
partment of Public Welfare recently an-
nounced its intention to invoke its expedit-
ed rule-making authority in order to
achieve additional savings.
Other programs that will be affected
include subsidized child care eligibility;
subsidized child care hearings, overpay-
ments and absence charges; revisions to
the special allowance for supportive ser-
vices requirement; and changes to the
state supplementary payment levels.
To assist our county in dealing with
these issues, the United Way of Wyoming
Valley and the United Way of Greater Ha-
zleton will be conducting a town hall meet-
ing from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday at the
Burke Auditorium on the campus of Kings
College, Wilkes-Barre. In Luzerne County,
the United Way system annually provides
nearly $4 million of support to our areas
health and human services infrastructure.
The meeting will feature a presentation
by Tony Ross, president of the United Way
of Pennsylvania, explaining the governors
budget proposal, a panel discussion regard-
ing the ramifications and a question-and-
answer session. Panelists will be Monsig-
nor Joseph Kelly of Catholic Social Ser-
vices, Gene Brady of the Commission on
Economic Opportunity, Susan Dinofrio of
the Child Development Center and Mary
Dysleski of Luzerne County Human Ser-
vices. Charles Barber of The Luzerne
Foundation will be the moderator.
This is a very important discussion in a
very difficult year. Our hope is to have a
meaningful dialogue and gain a better
understanding of how we can continue to
advance the common good in light of the
proposed budget cuts.
The public is invited to attend. Please
contact Gayle by calling (570) 829-6711
ext. 231 or via email at gyedinak@unit-
edwaywb.org.

Limbaugh called ignorant
of womens health issues
H
ow could ultraconservative radio com-
mentator Rush Limbaugh be so igno-
rant of womens health care issues?
After all, he has been married four times to
four different women over the past 35
years.
Perhaps his numerous marriages have
clouded his judgment. Because when it
comes to a woman developing cystic ova-
ries and/or endometriosis, marital status
is not a factor.
Too bad he apparently did not know
this. Maybe then he would have thought
twice before verbally assaulting George-
town law student Sandra Fluke, who had
the courage and conviction to speak up for
womens health care rights.

OW ITS THE turn of
voters in Super Tues-
days primaries to see
how dangerously
close the powerful super-PACs
are to owning the political proc-
ess.
InJanuary, thesuper-PACshit
a milestone by outspending the
candidates in the South Caroli-
na Republican presidential pri-
maryonadvertisingandget-out-
the-vote efforts.
The supers are not allowed to
coordinate with candidate cam-
paigns, but that is a sham rule.
The big PACs dont have to wor-
ry about coordination because
they are controlled, founded or
fundedbyfriends or former con-
sultants to the candidates.
Created, in part, by a pair of
dubious SupremeCourt rulings,
super-PACs are rapidly evolv-
ing, almost like science-fiction
movie monsters. According to
the nonpartisan Center for Re-
sponsive Politics, the super-
PACs have spent $29 million to
benefit Mitt Romney, $14 mil-
lion on Newt Gingrichs cam-
paign and $5 million to help
Rick Santorum.
Super-PACs are soinfrequent-
ly required to disclose donors
and spending that voters didnt
knowtheir true influence inthis
electionseasons earlyprimaries
until after the dust had settled.
The bigPACs more troubling
siblings, so-called issues advo-
cacy organizations, dont have
to disclose donors at all.
U.S. Rep. ChrisVanHollen, D-
Md., introduced a bill requiring
the super-PACs and shadow
groups to disclose donors and
spending every 24 hours on the
Web.
Van Hollens legislation is
simple. It merits strong biparti-
san support and rapid passage.
If it fails, voters might surmise
that some secretive groups al-
readymayowntheir representa-
tives.

Text messages
those brief andusually
trivial blasts of infor-
mation shouldnt be deadly to
sender or receiver, but they can
be if they divert a drivers eyes
from the road.
Anewlawthat goes intoeffect
Thursday for motorists in Penn-
sylvania seeks to prevent need-
less tragedies by making it ille-
gal, punishable with a $50 fine,
to write, send or read a text-
based message while driving.
Proponents of safe roadways
might consider this develop-
ment 2G2BT (translation: too
good to be true).
At best, however, this weak
law will serve as a deterrent to
certain device-toting drivers,
while others will go right on
LOL-ing and ?-ing. Enforcement
will be lax; scofflaws simply can
deny they were texting, instead
saying they were dialing num-
bers to place a phone call. Penn-
sylvania, the 35th state to ban
texting while driving, still has
not cracked down generally on
the use of handheld cell phones
by drivers.
Certain communities, includ-
ing Wilkes-Barre, have respon-
ded more aggressively than the
state government, passing ordi-
nances that forbid most all cell
phone use while behind the
wheel. Yet drivers routinely can
be spotted flouting these local
rules as they zip along city
streets.
Meanwhile, the fatalities
mount. During 2010 in Pennsyl-
vania, there reportedly were
about 13,800 crashes in which
distracted driving of some type
played a role. Sixty-eight people
died.
Logic, not a single lawor even
seriesof laws, shouldstopanyra-
tional, mature person from
thinking he or she can safely op-
erate a moving vehicle while
sneaking frequent peeks away
from the road. At 55 mph, it
takes onlyafewseconds for your
car or truck to go the length of a
football field. If not watching the
road, you wont see the stopped
vehicle ahead. Or the dog dart-
ing into traffic. Or the bicyclist.
Notext message, ridiculousor
serious, is so important that it
should ever cause you to take a
hand off the steering wheel and
potentially endanger a life.
The best way to stop distract-
eddrivingcausedby e-devices is
for common-sense people to
make the behavior socially unac-
ceptable like lighting upa ciga-
rette near a baby. Tell violators
its reckless. Its wrong.
Its AYOR (at your own risk).

Gregory L. Segall, chairman and
CEO of Versa Capital Manage-
ment LLC.
The company will now move
forward as a well-capitalized
community newspaper and digi-
tal media business that will con-
tinue to serve its communities
with locally focused content.
Versa Capital Management
LLC, which is based in Philadel-
phia, has diverse investments in
manufacturing, food service and
media including the companies
Polartec, Bell and Howell, Allen
Vanguard, Black Angus Steak-
house chain and Ohio Communi-
ty Media, which includes news-
papers andwebsites servingcom-
munities in northern and west-
ern Ohio.
We are thrilled to have the
backing and confidence of a well-
run company with expertise in a
variety of businesses, said Shi-
tut. We expect to continue on
the path of a vibrant multimedia
company. Our growth and
achievements clearly indicate
that our products and services
provide value to our readers and
advertisers.
It is exciting to begin this new
chapter inour continuing growth
withanexperiencedpartner such
as Versa, said Shitut. We see
great opportunity to grow as a
multimedia company in North-
eastern Pennsylvania.
Shitut credited the employees
of Impressions Media for excel-
lent work. He added: They did
not get distracted by rumors and
remained focused on their mis-
sion to serve our readers, clients
and the community. I am very
proud of their achievements,
which are reflected through our
audience growth, market share
gains and overall standing in the
community.
Impressions Media owns and
operates The Times Leader, The
Sunday Dispatch in Pittston, The
Dallas Post, The Abington Jour-
nal, Go Lackawanna, and several
shoppers and niche publications,
as well as many websites.
The company also has a thriv-
ing new media business. In addi-
tion to the news and information
websites, the company has
launched several digital market-
ing and advertising products for
small to mid-size businesses.
Website development, social
media marketing, search engine
optimization and QR code mar-
keting are among many services
provided by the company.
In leveraging its state-ofthe-
art manufacturing facility, the
company also provides printing,
packaging and related services to
publishing houses in Pennsylva-
nia and surrounding states.
Shitut cited several achieve-
ments, including a recently pub-
lished Audit Bureau of Circula-
tions (ABC) report that showed
that The Times Leader and its
branded editions reached more
than 70,000 homes on Sunday,
and more than 40,000 homes dai-
ly, on a five-day average.
The Times Leader online audi-
ence has continued to grow, too.
According to Google Analytics,
timesleader.com saw more than
783,000 unique visitors for Sep-
tember 2011, an increase of 26
percent compared to September
2010.
This success allows us to be
an active partner in the commu-
nity, presenting events such as
Great Women of NEPA and the
local Scripps National Spelling
Bee, which led to a local student
becoming the national champion
speller in Washington, said Shi-
tut.
The company is committed to
providing local news for readers
in print and online and creating
products that help our customers
and clients achieve their goals.
The company has a history
that dates back to newspapers of
the Wyoming Valley in the 19th
century. In 1907, two papers
merged to formThe Times Lead-
er. In 1939, three papers merged
to create the Wilkes-Barre Pub-
lishing Co. In1978, Capital Cities
Communications Inc. purchased
the publishing company.
Other changes followed: The
Times Leader launched a Sunday
paper in1987; in1996, Capital Ci-
ties/ABC merged with Disney; a
$15 million production facility
was installedin1997; Disney sold
The Times Leader to Knight-Rid-
der Inc. in1997; by 2006, Knight-
Ridder had sold The Times Lead-
er to the McClatchy Co., which
sold the paper to a newly formed
Wilkes-Barre Publishing Co.

In a typical year, most school
districts begin figuring out when
to schedule makeup days for
snow days that caused the can-
cellation of classes. And while
this has been anything but a typ-
ical year, districts still have to
tweak calendars because of
weather.
In past years, there have been
so many weather days that other
days onthe calendar that were to
be off days such as Holy Thurs-
day or Presidents Day have been
used as makeup days.
In Northwest Area School Dis-
trict, rather than adding makeup
days for the three flood-caused
cancellations fromSeptember to
the end of the calendar in June,
the district will have students at-
tend classes on April 2, 3 and 4.
Those days were to be sched-
uled off for spring break in the
week leading up to Easter Sun-
day, but now students will be off
only April 5, 6 and 9.
Hanover Area had to cancel
two days of classes in September
after the Susquehanna River
crested at 42.66 feet, topping the
record set during Tropical Storm
Agnes in 1972. Theyll be made
up on Easter Monday and Holy
Thursday, sothe last day of class-
es will remain June 6 with gradu-
ation June 8.
Lake-Lehman School District
also canceled two days in Sep-
tember and will make them up
onJune 4and5, pushingthe final
dayof classes toJune6withgrad-
uation scheduled for June 13.
Hazleton Area was set to dis-
miss on May 31, but will add a
day to make up for a September
cancellation due to the flood.
The last day of classes is now
June 1.
Wilkes-Barre Area had two
flood-caused cancellations and
will likely add themto the end of
the school year, Superintendent
Jeff Namey said. He saidthe mat-
ter will be brought before the
board at next Wednesdays meet-
ing.
Wyoming Valley West needed
to close school for three days be-
cause of the flooding, but rather
thanmakingthemupinJune, the
district scheduled in-session
days March 9, which will be a
half-day, April 10 and April 11.
June 7 is still the scheduled date
for graduation and June 8 is the
scheduled final day of classes for
all grades.
Greater Nanticoke Area had to
cancel two days because of flood-
ing in September. Superintend-
ent Tony Perrone has asked the
Department of Education to
grant the district a reprieve for
thosetwodays, but hesaidhehas
not heard back on his request.
Districts in Pennsylvania are re-
quiredtohave180student in-ses-
sion days each academic year.
Perrone said he doubts the
state will allowit, so hes looking
at either adding the days to the
end of the school year, which is
currently set to be June 6, or by
scheduling classes during Easter
break.
Pittston Area had three school
days lost to flooding and will
make them up in June. The last
day for classes and graduation is
now June 8.
Dallas was already in a jambe-
cause it started its school year
later than normal to allow com-
pletion of the districts new high
school, which opened Sept. 14,
so the lack of snowdays will help
the situation.
Dallas Superintendent Frank
Galicki said the flood days will
take the last day of classes from
the originallyintendedJune11to
the now scheduled June 13.
Hopefully, we dont get any
snow days, Galicki said, noting
how late into June classes al-
ready are scheduled to occur. He
said the district would, if need
be, figureout a waytoget thestu-
dents out by mid-June, even if it
means Saturday classes or using
scheduled off days.
School calendars still must be tweaked
Area districts have many
different plans for making up
days lost because of flooding.

ly incredible.
Throughout Luzerne County,
school calendars have been kept
mostly intact thanks to a mild
winter.
Joanne LaBounty, a hydrome-
teorologist with the National
Weather Service in Binghamton,
N.Y., said18.5inches of snowhas
fallenat the Wilkes-Barre/Scran-
ton International Airport in Pitt-
ston Township since July1, 2011.
The historical average by this
point of theseasonis 35.4inches.
Even with snowa rare sight in
these parts this winter, Mother
Nature was still able to alter the
school schedule.
Historic flooding caused al-
most all of the11school districts
in Luzerne County to close for at
least one day in September.
Schools in some districts, like
Lake-Lehman, became recovery
centers for flood victims.
At seven, Wyoming Area can-
celed the most days of school be-
cause of the flood. Only the
Crestwood School District in
Mountain Top is currently able
to say that not one day of school
has been canceled this academic
year.
Plenty of flood days
Raymond Bernardi, superin-
tendent at Wyoming Area, said
he had originally set the last day
of school for June 1, with the ex-
pectation that snow days would
be added to the end of the calen-
dar andschool woulddismissthe
first or second week of June.
I thought wed get snow, but
instead we got flood, Bernardi
said. The seven days will be add-
ed to the end of the school calen-
dar, andif there are nosnowdays
before April 10, that day will also
beusedasamakeupday. Thelast
dayof school is tentativelyset for
June12, but graduation will take
place June 8.
Crestwood Superintendent
Dave McLaughlin-Smith said he
cannot recall a school year mak-
ing it through to June without a
day off because of weather. With
the last day of school in the dis-
trict scheduledfor June 8, theres
only three months standing in
the way of history.
This year was a little unusu-
al, said Dallas Superintendent
Frank Galicki. We certainly
lucked out with the snowdays.
He said there have been years
when cancelling just one or two
days due to snow was seen as
catching a break. But this is the
first time he can recall entering
March without a snow cancella-
tion.
But Antonelli offeredawordof
caution.
Its early as winters go in NE-
PA, he said, noting that in 1997
HazletonAreaandmost other ar-
ea districts had to cancel classes
in April because of a snowstorm.
Snowstorms in April also
closed some area schools in
2000.

you want to see in the future,
Hosier said.
Judy Aita, co-chairwoman of
the visioning meeting the first
flood recovery meeting for the
entire community was heart-
ened by the attendance. She said
a FEMA team member told her
Mondays meeting was the best-
attended town meeting the team
has ever had in Pennsylvania.
FEMA recovery team leader
Shea Christilaw, a graduate of
WyomingArea HighSchool, said
she expected no less because
I know how passionate you are
about your community.
Christilaw said the first step
was to come up with things they
would love to see in West Pitt-
ston and then share their ideas.
The next step would be to come
to a consensus. Those are the
things we want to tackle first,
she said.
Each table of 10 to 14 citizens
was asked to write down and/or
draw some of their favorite
things in the community West
Pittstons assets on the white
paper tablecloths covering their
tables.
In about 10 minutes, words
such as library, beautiful homes,
river, bridges, tree lawns and
people helping people were
scrawled down with colored
markers, along with pictures of
some of these things.
Theywere thengivenabout 20
minutes to brainstorm draw
and write down things they
would love to see in their home-
town if they had an unlimited
budget.
Joan Pribula said several peo-
pleat her tablewant toseeanhis-
toric bank building saved.
Anita and Angelo Montante
drew pictures of a youth center
and a park with walking trails.
Linda Abner, whose suggesti-
ons included a beach and picnic
area at the riverfront, noted that
her home was not damaged by
the flood. I just feel an obliga-
tion to pay it forward because we
were spared, she explained as
her reason for attending.
Other ideas rangedfromfixing
potholes to creating themed
storefronts, building a levee with
walking and bicycle trails to ath-
letic fields, a swimming pool, an
expanded library.
The small teams picked the
topthreeideas at their tables and
a leader from each table shared
them with the room.
Recurring themes were flood
protection whether in the form
of a levee or removing islands
fromthe river thought to exacer-
bate flooding as well as better-
paved streets, sidewalks and tree
parks, things to attract business-
es, better street lighting, a com-
munity center and recreation
venues, including a revitalized
riverfront.
Theparticipants wereaskedto
come backtothe next meetingat
St. Cecilias Center on March 19
to help continue the process and
help come to a consensus on
which projects to pursue.
Lisa Scalzo, whose York Ave-
nue home took on 3 feet of water
intheflooding, saidsheattended
the meeting looking for some
hope. The town is a mess. Its
awful. Its been discouraging. I
just want to see what the possi-
bilities are.
After the meeting ended, Scal-
zo said the overwhelming at-
tendance was encouraging and
comforting. I guess Ima littleex-
cited cautiously excited
about the idea of improving in-
frastructure and bringing some
more modern amenities.

Anyone who would like to partici-
pate in helping West Pittston

Romney kept his focus on the
economy in a final sprint across
Ohio, the state that has drawn
the most attentionandtelevision
advertising. Pre-primary polls
show him with momentum in a
close race with Santorum.
Other people inthis race have
debated about the economy,
theyve read about the economy,
theyve talked about it in sub-
committee hearings, Romney
said dismissively of his oppo-
nents. But Ive actually been in
it. Ive worked in business, and I
understand what it takes to get a
business successful and to
thrive.
Santorum, who narrowly lost
Michigan to Romney last week,
said that no matter how much
his rival spends, conservatives
will not trust him, will not rally
around him this primary season.
... We will be the nominee.
He said he looked forward to
the day when Gingrich drops out
and clears the way for him to
challenge Romney one-on-one.
And when we do that, well
win, Santorum said.
Gingrich, the former speaker
of the House, was having none of
it.
Seemingly confident of a pri-
mary victory in Georgia, where
he launched his political career
more than three decades ago, he
unveiled a new television com-
mercial in Tennessee promising
to reduce the rising cost of gaso-
line. Eager to demonstrate his
staying power, he said the com-
mercial would soon begin run-
ninginAlabama andMississippi,
which hold primaries next week,
and he announced a list of sup-
porters in Kansas, where caucus-
es are on the schedule for Satur-
day.
Gingrich linked oil, Iran and
war inremarks at a rally inAlcoa,
Tenn. We should indicate calm-
ly and decisively that any threat
to close the Straits of Hormuz
would be considered an act of
war and we will eliminate the
government of Iran, he said.
About 20 percent of the worlds
oil exports pass through the
Straits of Hormuz.
The fourth man in the race,
Texas Rep. Ron Paul, cam-
paignedinIdahoafter a weekend
visit to Alaska, where he hopes
to claim his first victory of the
campaign.
Romney has wonfour contests
in a row, including a double-digit
victory in Washington state cau-
cuses on Saturday.
He has 203delegates inthe As-
sociated Press count, while San-
torum has 92, Gingrich 33 and
Paul 25.
It takes 1,144 to win the nomi-
nation at the convention in Tam-
pa, Fla., next summer.
Romneys itinerary on Mon-
day underscored the extent to
whichthe campaignfor the nom-
ination has changed fromclosely
watched statewide contests into
to an all-out battle for individual
delegates. Whilehehopedtowin
the Ohio primary outright, he ar-
ranged stops in Canton and
Youngstown, in and around ar-
eas where Santorum isnt eligi-
ble for all the delegates available
on Tuesday.
Santorum was hampered by
his failure to file any delegates in
three of the states 16 congres-
sional districts. That meant he
was forfeiting any chance at nine
of the 63 at stake, even if he won
statewide.
More damaging to their hopes
of stopping Romney, Santorum
and Gingrich failed to qualify for
the Virginia primary ballot, and
Romney appeared in line to cap-
ture all 46 delegates there. The
former Massachusetts governor
also has virtually no competition
on his home turf in that state,
with 38 delegates, and little in
Vermont, with 17 more.
Romney pressed his advan-
tage inother ways, frompersonal
endorsements to a huge dispar-
ity in television ads across the
country.
One day after winning the sup-
port of House Majority Leader
Eric Cantor of Virginia and Okla-
homa Sen. TomCoburn, he drew
backing from former Attorney
General John Ashcroft.
While Santorum recently re-
ported taking in $9 million in
campaigndonations inFebruary,
he was outspent across the board
on television.
Romney purchased about $1.5
million in television commer-
cials inOhio, andRestore our Fu-
ture, the super PAC that sup-
ports him, spent even more, $2.3
million.
Santorumand Red, White and
Blue, a super PAC that backs
him, countered with about $1
million combined, according to
information on file with the Fed-
eral Election Commission, a def-
icit of nearly 4-1.
In Tennessee, where Romney
did not purchase television time,
Restore Our Future spent more
than $600,000 to help him. San-
torum paid for a little over
$225,000, and Winning our Fu-
ture, a super PACthat backs Gin-
grich, nearly $470,000.
InGeorgia, where Gingrichac-
knowledged he must win, the
pro-Romney super PAC spent
about $1.5 million in hopes of
holding the former House speak-
er below 50 percent of the vote,
the threshold needed to maxi-
mize his delegate take.

To Hall of Fame defensive back Ron-
nie Lott, the thousands of dollars New
Orleans Saints players were paid under
their bounty systemfrom2009-11 is not
all that different from the helmet stick-
ers handed out at lower levels of the
game.
Little rewards for big plays are as
much a part of foot-
ball as runs and pas-
ses.
I never played the
game to take away
somebodys liveli-
hood. Have I hurt
people? Yes. I got paid
to make intercep-
tions. I got paid to cause fumbles. And I
got paid to make big hits, said Lott,
who was with the 49ers, Raiders and
Jets during his NFL career from 1981-
94.
It goes back to when I was 10. Some-
body said that if you did one of those
things, you would get a sticker on your
helmet. In college, they gave you that
recognition if you did well, Lott said in
a telephone interview Monday. So, no.
Im not really surprised by it.
Nor, it seems, should anyone.
The fact that guys in a football lock-
er room would talk about and reward
each other when they take one of their
opponents out of the game thats not
surprising at all. It probably happens
from the high school level on up. This
is not an odd thing. Now the cash re-
wards and the coach approval? That
formalizes it and takes it to another lev-
el, said Jay Coakley, professor emer-
itus in the sociology department at the
University of Colorado, Colorado
Springs.
But we shouldnt be surprised at all
that the football culture would give rise
to someone wanting to take another
player out, even if there werent some-
thing extra on the line, Coakley add-
ed. Thats just obvious.

PALMBEACHGARDENS, Fla. Ro-
ry McIlroy made quite a first impression
in America, even when he lost.
He made his pro debut on American
soil in the Arizona desert at the 2009
Match Play Championship. As a19-year-
old, McIlroy advanced to the quarterfi-
nals and threw everything he had at Ge-
off Ogilvy until losing on the 17th hole.
Ogilvy, who went on to win his third
WorldGolf Championshipthat week, re-
calls riding back to the clubhouse with
his caddie, Allistair Squirrel Mathe-
son, both of them realizing that the land-
scape was about to change.
I played so good that day, Ogilvy said
Sunday morning fromhis home in Cali-
fornia. I birdied 15, 16 and 17 and
halved all three holes. We were way un-
der par that day. Both Squirrel and I said,
This guy is going to be unbelievable. And
then Squirrel said, If you want to be No. 1,
youregoingtohavetobebetter thanthis guy.
Because not many people in the world will be
better than that.
Never mind that Tiger Woods was No. 1 in
the world by miles, and would go on to win
seven times that year.
There was something special about this
freckled-face kidwithbrowncurls spilling out
fromunder his cap, whoplayedthe game with
a delightful mixture of joy and reckless aban-
don.
Since that first day I sawhimplay, he was a
level above us, Ogilvy said.
Their premonition came true when McIl-

Tendays ago, AndySchutz set a school-
record with his third consecutive District
2 championship.
Three days ago, the Wyoming Area ju-
nior became the first Warrior to qualify
for the PIAA Championships in more
than 10 years.
Beginning Thursday, he will try to be-
come just the fifth grappler in school his-
tory to earn a state medal.
As a freshman, Schutz placed fourth at
the Class 2ANortheast Regional and last
year, he finished one win shy of reaching
the medal bout. But this year, he finally
got over that hump. He enters the state
tournament with a 30-3 record this sea-
son and 96 career wins.
That was the hap-
piest I ever was to
take third-place, Schutz said about his
4-3victoryover Bucktail freshmanDeme-
tri Probst on Saturday night. Its never
easy down there, but Hershey was the
overall goal.
Helping him along in the process is
first-year head coach Steve Mytych, who
was a four-time state qualifier and two-
time state medalist, taking fourth as a ju-
nior and eighth as a sophomore. All four
years, he won at least one match at the
PIAA Championships. After that run, he
was the first inDrexel history toearnfour
NCAA Championship bids.
Assistant coach Joe Rovelli won a state
title for Meyers in2004, was state runner-
up in 2003 and took eighth in 2002. He
was a four-time state qualifier before a
solid college career at Hofstra, where he
was a four-time national qualifier.
Both have played an important role for
the 132-pounder this season.
They just help on everything, with my
whole technique andeverything, Schutz
added. My whole wrestling game has
just improved so much. These guys are
Division I wrestlers so they knowit all to
say the least.

tlers have won two district champion-

ust for the record, Jake Chielli
wants everyone to know hes not
swimming upstream at a football
school.
Neither are any of his Dallas High
School teammates anymore.
Not after the Mountaineers captured
their third consecutive District 2 Class
2A boys swimming and diving cham-
pionship this weekend.
Thats the type of dominance the
Dallas football programs become
known for.
But swimming?
Thats a sport normally submerged
under Dallas perennial gridiron suc-
cess. Until the boys in the pool started
making such a splash.
People in the school respect the
swimmers. Even the football players,
said Chielli, who transferred from
Wyoming Seminary to Dallas prior to
his sophomore school year. I used to
play football myself. I stopped when I
came to Dallas, just because I wanted
to pursue swimming.
It seems as if Chielli made the right
decision.
He captured his third straight dis-
trict championship in the 50-yard frees-
tyle Friday, then came back to conclude
his district run by swimming the lead-
off leg and gaining a body-length lead
for Dallas championship 400-yard
freestyle relay team.
That helped the Mountaineers to a
district team three-peat unprecedented
in their swimming history.
A lot of hard work went into this,
Chielli said.
Thats obvious.
Because before head coach Romayne
Mosier took over the program and
Chielli came aboard in 2010, Dallas
wasnt exactly a destination for district
medals.
I had no idea we would blossom to
this point, Chielli laughed. But I can
tell you that its great. I just had a lot of
great teammates. We all know the fact
of our accomplishments. We never
would have expected it.
Those teammates changed with
time.
Last years talented, senior-laden
roster stuffed with 23 swimmers who
went unbeaten through two Wyoming
Valley Conference seasons gave way to
a group of 11 boys in 2011-12 speckled
with underclassmen.
The Mountaineers still kept winning.
We had less boys this year, Mosier
said. But we had quality.
That was enough to warrant another
trip to the state championships for a
contingent of Dallas boys determined
to uphold the winning tradition Chielli
and his first group of Mountaineers
teammates started.
They knew they had to do their best
to maintain their title for a third
straight year, Mosier said.
It was a bunch of different names
standing up for Dallas as this years
district finals.
Junior Brian Stepniak, a pitcher off
the baseball team whose older sister
Stacey once starred for the Dallas girls,
captured the 100-yard freestyle and 100
backstroke. Fellow junior Marcus
Wagner won the 500 and 200 freestyles
for Dallas. Sophomore Patrick Gelso
and freshman Reid Luksic both earned
big team points with top-five finishes
in two separate events.
And then there was Chielli, winning
the 50 free and leading two relay teams
to victory in his final run through dis-
trict waters.
I was just trying to give it my all,
Chielli said, leave it all in the pool.
And go out with a bang.
Thats a sound normally heard on
football Saturdays around Dallas. But
as the Mountaineers proved in the
pool, you dont have to wear a helmet
to impact a football school.

RED SOX
Crawford may miss opener
FORT MYERS, Fla. Boston Red
Sox outfielder Carl Crawford will be
shut down this week to let his left wrist
heal and its unlikely hell be ready to
play by opening day.
Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine
said Monday that Crawford would held
out for five to seven days because in-
flammation. Crawford had surgery on
his wrist in mid-January.
Coming off a disappointing season,
Crawford was an early arrival at spring
training this year. He had been throw-
ing and swinging a bat but had to limit
his activities last week after he devel-
oped soreness in his wrist.
He was examined and determined
that he should curtail his swinging and
his throwing, Valentine said.
The Red Sox begin the season April
5 at Detroit.
PIRATES
McCutchen deal close
PITTSBURGH A person close to
the situation says the Pittsburgh Pi-
rates are closing in on a new contract
with All-Star centerfielder Andrew
McCutchen.
The proposed six-year, $51.5 million
deal would keep McCutchen with the
Pirates through the 2017 season with a
club option for 2018. The person spoke
on condition of anonymity because
details were still being ironed out and
McCutchen needed to pass a physical.
The 25-year-old hit .259 in 2011 and
posted career highs in home runs (23)
and RBIs (89) while adding 23 stolen
bases. He would have been eligible to
become a free agent following the 2015
season.
The contract was first reported by
the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
McCutchen is considered the linch-
pin of a core group the Pirates are
relying on to turn the franchise around.
RANGERS

NEW YORK Rangers pitcher Yu
Darvish has reached a multiyear deal
with Topps that grants the company
exclusive rights for autographed trad-
ing and game-used memorabilia cards
The deal announced Monday is the
first in the United States for Darvish,
Japans top pitcher before he got a
six-year contract from the two-time
defending American League cham-
pions.
Topps vice president of marketing
Mark Sapir says Darvish transcends
baseball on a global scale.
Topps will also use Darvish for social
media and on packaging and promo-
tion for the companys products
Darvish says hes excited to see his
rookie card with him wearing a Rang-
ers jersey.
The 25-year-old right-hander was a
two-time Pacific League MVP in Japan.
He had a 93-38 record with a 1.99 ERA
in 167 games the past seven seasons.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. Former
Southern League president and Major
League Baseball player Don Mincher

NEW YORK The New York Mets
ownersmust payupto$83milliontothe
trustee recovering money for Bernard
Madoff investors, a judge said Monday,
though he expressed doubt that the
trustee will succeed in proving at a trial
this month that hes entitled to as much
as $300 million more.
U.S. District Judge Jed S. Rakoff is-
sued his four-page ruling to narrow the
subject of a March19 trial in Manhattan
that results fromTrustee Irving Picards
effort toforce the clubs owners topayas
much as $1 billion into a fund establish-
edtorepaythousandsof investorscheat-
ed of billions of dollars during Madoffs
decades-long fraud.
Last year, Rakoff had ruled that the
teams owners wouldnt owe more than
$386 million to other Madoff investors.
He made it clear then that they would
likely owe up to $83 million but said the
trustee must prove that the Mets own-
ers willfully blinded themselves to
Madoffs fraud to get more.
His ruling Monday determined that
the exact amount up to $83 million
wont beleft tothejurybut will bedecid-
ed by him in a future written decision,
likely after he hears more from lawyers
on both sides.
Rakoff rejected a request by lawyers
fortheMets ownerstosayPicardwasnt
entitled to more money, a ruling that
would have eliminated the need for the
trial.
But he said he remains skeptical that
the trustee can ultimately rebut the de-
fendants showing of good faith.
He said he was concerned that much
of the evidence offered by both sides in
court papers so far would not be admis-
sible at trial.
Conclusions are no substitute for
facts, and too much of what the parties
characterized as bombshells proved to
be nothing but bombast, he wrote.
Amanda Remus, a spokeswoman for
Picard, said the trustee and his lawyers
wereawareof Rakoffsorderandwerere-
viewing it.
Sterling Partners, a business entity
that includes the Mets owners, saidina
statement: We are preparing for trial.
We look forward to demonstrating that
wewerenot willfullyblindtotheMadoff
fraud.
The trustee previouslysuedthe Mets
owners, sayingtheyhadtoknowMadoff
was acting illegally. Lawyers for the
Mets owners have repeatedly said that
their clients had no idea Madoff wasnt
investing their money as he saidhe was.
Nearly 5,000 investors were deceived
in the fraud by the former NASDAQ
chairman, who told them their $20 bil-
lioninvestment hadgrownto$68billion
by November 2008. Weeks later, he re-
vealed his fraud, confessing that only
several hundred million dollars were
left.
In his lawsuit, Picard said the Mets
owners received $83.3 million in ficti-
tious profits and $301 million in princi-
pal in the two years before a bankruptcy
filingwasmaderegardingtheMadoff as-
sets.
Rakoffs rulings limiting what Picard
cancollect havebeenencouragingtothe
Mets co-owners Fred Wilpon and Saul
Katz, whohavesaidtheywerevictims of
Madoffs fraud. The Mets announced
last year that they were consideringsell-
ing up to 25 percent of the franchise be-
cause of uncertainty caused by the
lawsuit. Despite the upcoming trial, the
tension surrounding the team over the
Madoff issue seems to have relaxed.

CLEARWATER, Fla. Joe Blanton threw two
shutout innings for Philadelphia, and third baseman
Placido Polanco drove home the games first run as
the Phillies defeated the Yankees 9-3 on Monday.
For both Blanton and Polanco, it was their first
chance to get on the field after injury-plagued 2011
seasons.
The 31-year-old Blanton allowed two hits and
struck out one.
The Yankees got their first look at offseason acqui-
sition Michael Pineda, who allowed one hit one in
two scoreless innings. The 23-year-old right-hander
was acquired from Seattle in a trade that sent catch-
ing prospect Jesus Montero to the Mariners.
Angels 9, Athletics 1
PHOENIX His first time up for the Angels,
Albert Pujols hit an RBI double.
The new Angels slugger finished 2 for 3, ending
his spring debut by popping up with the bases load-
ed in the third inning of Los Angeles win over an
Oakland Athletics split-squad.
That was fun, Pujols said of batting in each of
the first three innings. Hopefully we get to do that a
lot this season.
Left-hander C.J. Wilson, the Angels other big
free-agent acquisition, tossed two scoreless innings
in his spring debut.
Pujols agreed to a $240 million, 10-year deal over
the winter, leaving the St. Louis Cardinals after 11
seasons.
Oakland starter Brad Peacock was charged with
four runs and four hits in 1
2
3 innings.
Tigers 4, Blue Jays 2
LAKELAND, Fla. AL MVP Justin Verlander
pitched two scoreless innings in his spring debut,
leading the Tigers to the victory.
Verlander gave up one hit and struck out one. He
was the unanimous AL Cy Young Award winner last
year after going 24-5, including a no-hitter at Toron-
to.
A day after launching nine home runs against
Atlanta on a windy day, the Tigers were held to a
pair of extra-base hits a double by Delmon Young
and a triple from Quintin Berry.
Marlins 4, Cardinals 3
JUPITER, Fla. Josh Johnson retired the first
five batters but failed to make it through the second
inning in his first game since May for the Marlins,
who beat the Cardinals in the spring training opener
for both teams.
After a smooth start, Johnson gave up a single, a
double and a walk, and departed with the bases
loaded. He threw 41 pitches, including third strikes
to Jon Jay and Matt Holliday in the first inning.
Braves 10, Astros 5
KISSIMMEE, Fla. Jason Heyward hit a two-run
single and Jair Jurrjens pitched two innings to help
Atlanta get the win.
Heyward is trying to bounce back after he hit just
.227 with 14 homers and 42 RBIs last year. Jurrjens
gave up two runs and three hits in his first game
since his season was cut short by a balky right knee.
Dan Uggla homered and Brian McCann had two
hits for Atlanta, which scored six runs in the last
three innings.
Reds 12, Indians 7
GOODYEAR, Ariz. Joey Votto and Jay Bruce
each drove in a pair of runs against Justin Master-
son, powering the Reds to the victory.
Bruce singled, doubled and walked.
Mariners 13, Padres 7
PEORIA, Ariz. Dustin Ackley had three hits to
help Seattle get the win.
Hitting in the leadoff spot, Ackley doubled to
left-center against Dustin Moseley in the first inning.
Ackley, who scored two runs, singled to right in the
third and also tripled to center to start the fifth.
Padres outfielder Carlos Quentin doubled, singled
and walked in his spring debut.
Royals 7, Rangers 6
SURPRISE, Ariz. Elvis Andrus went 3 for 3 and
scored three times in the Rangers loss.
Derek Holland, who won 16 games for Texas last
season, allowed one run and three hits over two
innings in his first spring start.
Alex Gordon hit a two-run homer to trim Texas
lead to 6-3 in the fifth. Derrick Robinson added a
two-out, two run single in the sixth, and pinch-hitter
Kevin Kouzmanoff delivered a two-run double with
two out in the ninth to give the Royals the victory.
Orioles (ss) 3, Rays 1
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. Wade Davis got off
to a strong start in his campaign to keep his spot in
Tampa Bays rotation, pitching two scoreless in-
nings.
Alfredo Simon and three other Orioles pitchers
combined to limit the Rays to one hit until the ninth
inning, when Pedro Strop allowed a leadoff single to
Jeff Salazar and Stephen Vogts one-out RBI double.
Athletics (ss) 8, Cubs 7
MESA, Ariz. Josh Reddick collected two more
hits and Brandon Allen drove in another run for
Oakland.
Reddick has at least one hit in each of his three
exhibition games, and Allen already has eight RBIs
this spring.
Non-roster invitee Yordy Cabrera led off the ninth
inning with a home run against right-hander Tony
Zych, lifting the Oakland split-squad to the victory.
Blake DeWitt hit a three-run homer off As starter
Bartolo Colon in the second inning. Jeff Baker add-
ed two hits, including a double, and scored two runs
for Chicago.
Dodgers 6, White Sox 4
GLENDALE, Ariz. Chad Billingsley pitched
two scoreless innings for the Dodgers.
Billingsley, likely to be the Dodgers No. 2 starter
behind NL Cy Young Award winner Clayton Ker-
shaw, gave up only a single to Alexei Ramirez.
Dodgers star Andre Ethier hit a double in his first
at-bat of the spring against Philip Humber.
Rockies 6, Diamondbacks 5
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Gerardo Parra led off the
game with a double and later hit a solo home run in
the Diamondbacks loss.
Parra, a Gold Glove winner in 2011, is now the
fourth outfielder for Arizona behind newcomer
Jason Kubel. Parra homered off Jhoulys Chacin.
The Rockies won in the bottom of the ninth when
Ben Paulsen hit a solo home run off Jonathan Alba-
ladejo.
Nationals 3, Mets 1
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. Rick Ankiel hit his first
spring homer and the Washington Nationals beat
the New York Mets.
Ankiel, who is working on a more relaxed batting
stance, connected against Dillon Gee in the second
inning, driving a 2-0 fastball over the left-field wall.
The top of the batting order accounted for the
Mets only run in the first inning.
Pirates 10, Orioles (ss) 3
SARASOTA, Fla. Brian Matusz pitched two
ineffective innings in his spring debut, and a split-
squad of Baltimore Orioles lost to the Pittsburgh
Pirates.
Matusz yielded three runs and six hits, but al-
lowed just one hard-hit ball an RBI double by
Josh Harrison in the first. He struck out three and
walked none.

Daniels made four huge free
throws in the final 19 seconds,
allowing VCU to hang on and
beat top-seeded Drexel 59-56
Monday night in the champion-
ship of the Colonial Athletic
Association tournament.
VCU (28-6) was the biggest
story of last years NCAA tour-
nament, when coach Shaka
Smarts team reached the Final
Four after being one of the last
teams picked for the field. The
Rams wont have to wait for an
at-large bid this season, but
Drexel made it interesting after
falling behind by 16 at halftime.
The Dragons (27-6), who
had won a school-record 19 in a
row and not lost since Jan. 2,
got to within a point on Chris
Fouchs 3-pointer with 12.7
seconds to play.
Daniels made a pair from the
line with 18.9 seconds left and
two more with 11.9 seconds to
go, and Frantz Massenats

The second-seeded Grey-

Loyola held Fairfield without
a point for almost 8 minutes
and then held on for its fifth

11 for Fairfield (19-14), which
upset the tournaments top

Brandon Jennings had 33
points and Drew Gooden add-
ed 25 points and 10 rebounds
for the Bucks, who have been
stuck in a funk for a little
more than a month. Since
beating the Miami Heat on
Feb. 1, Milwaukee had lost 12
of its last 16 games coming
into Monday nights game.
Lou Williams had 26 points
for the 76ers, who were com-
ing off a narrow home loss to
Chicago on Sunday and have
lost eight of 10.
Williams almost single-hand-
edly brought the 76ers back in
the game in the final minutes,
but the 76ers couldnt com-
plete the comeback.

Kings extend contract of coach Smart
DENVER Keith Smart already had the full support of his players.
Now, the Sacramento Kings coach has the backing of the
organization to go with it.
President of basketball operations Geoff Petrie announced
Monday the team extended Smarts contract through the 2012-13
season. The 47-year-old Smart stepped in when Paul Westphal was
fired in early January.
For Smart, this was another chance to show his leadership skills
on the bench after the Golden State Warriors let him go last April
after one solid season. He appreciates the opportunity, even if he
didnt think another shot would happen this soon.
Many coaches in the NBA, front office people called me after that
happened (in Golden State) and said, You did a great job. You
coached that team. You showed that you could coach in the NBA.
You will get another opportunity, Smart said Monday night before a
game at Denver.
(The players) have responded pretty well to what Ive been doing.
They take constructive criticism and take a pat on the back well. We
are trying to build something that will last a long time not a quick
fix deal.
PARK RIDGE, Ill. Michi-
gan States Draymond Green
was chosen as player of the year
in the Big Ten by two panels,
one comprised of media, the
other made up of coaches.
Green averaged 16.2 points and
a league-best 10.5 rebounds as
the Spartans shared the regular-
season title with Michigan and
Ohio State.
Michigan States Tom Izzo
was selectedas coachof the year
for a third time as the Spartans
finished 24-7 and 13-5 in the
league after starting the season
unranked.
This is a little bit of a sur-
prise. ... There were a lot of de-
serving guys, Izzo said.
Joining Green on both the
coaches and media first team
were conference scoring leader
John Shurna of Northwestern,
Ohio State star Jared Sullinger
and Purdues Robbie Hummel.
The coaches selectedWisconsin
guard Jordan Taylor to the first
team, and the media gave the
nod to Tim Frazier of Penn
State.
There was a split for freshman
of the year: the media tabbed
Trey Burke of Michigan, and the
coaches chose center Cody Zell-
er of Indiana.
Zeller led conference fresh-
men in scoring and rebounding,
averaging 15.4 points and 6.4
boards per game. Burke aver-
aged 14.6 points and 4.6 assists
for the Wolverines.
The coaches also honored
Ohio States Aaron Craft as de-
fensive player of the year, and
D.J. Byrdof Purdue as sixthman
of the year.
On the medias second team
were Zeller, Burke, Taylor, Matt
Gatens of Iowa and Ohio States
William Buford, who made the
game-winning shot in a 72-70
victory over Michigan State on
Sunday. TimHardawayJr. of Mi-
chigan, Keith Appling of Michi-
gan State, Northwesterns Drew
Crawford, Craft and Deshaun
Thomas of Ohio State com-
prised the medias third team.
Zeller, Burke, Buford, Tho-
mas and Frazier are on the
coaches second unit. Brandon
Paul of Illinois, Gatens, Harda-
way, Appling and Crawford
made up the third team.

Owen Wignot wrapped up his
career with the Siena College
mens basketball team and he
went out in style.
Wignot, a 6-foot-8, 210-pound
senior forward, came up with
his biggest game and biggest
shot of his career to help the
Saints defeat Manhattan 84-82
in overtime in the quarterfinals
of the Metro Atlantic Athletic
Conference Championship last
Saturday in Springfield, Mass.
Siena was beaten 70-60 by
Loyola (Md.) in the semifinals
Sunday.
Wignot had a career-high 22
points in his 121st game as a
Saint, but none of the points
were bigger than the long
three-point basket he hit from
the left wing to tie the game at
78 with eight seconds left in
regulation.
Owen has been a great play-
er in our program, Siena coach
Mitch Buonaguro said. It was
his moment.
Wignot wasnt the go-to play-
er prior to the big shot.
We set a play up, if I got it I
was supposed to look inside for
O.D. (Anosike), he said. I
tried to hit Evan (Hymes) back
and he gave it back to me. I just
shot it. It went in. Im just hap-
py I made it.
The Saints then outlasted
Manhattan in the overtime.
As a senior, youve just got
to keep pushing, Wignot said.
If we lost, wed have been
done.
The season ended the next
night against Loyola. Wignot
had 16 points in six rebounds in
his final Siena game. For the
season, Wignot averaged 7.3
points, 4.4 rebounds and had 20
blocks.
Siena finished 14-17.
ACCORDINO GAINS
BERTH Despite being beaten
in the championship match,
Hofstras redshirt junior Justin
Accordino earned a berth in the
NCAA Division I Wrestling
Championships.
Accordino (Coughlin) earned
the spot after his performance
in the Colonial Athletic Associ-
ation Championships last week-
end in Binghamton, N.Y.
Seeded second, Accordino
scored a major decision in the
first round and defeated No. 3
seed Zac Cibula of Rider 7-2 in
the semifinals. Then, he was
beaten by No. 1 seed Donnie
Vinson of Binghamton 12-3 in
the finals.
Accordino will take a 21-9
record into the NCAAs, set for
March 15-17 in St. Louis. In
2009, Accordino earned a berth
in the nationals and posted a
2-2 record. He missed out the
last two seasons because of
injuries.
BERTH FOR OHARA, TOO
Columbia junior Jake OHara
(Crestwood) also earned a
berth in the Division I NCAA
Wrestling Championships in St.
Louis.
OHara earned the spot with
a fifth-place finish in the East-
ern Intercollegiate Wrestling
Association Championships last
weekend in Princeton, N.J.
Wrestling in a tough 157-
pound weight class, OHara was
beaten 7-4 in the consolation
semifinals but captured fifth
place with a 6-5 decision. Had
he finished sixth, he still would
have won a berth because the
powerful weight class will send
six wrestlers from the EIWA to
the nationals.
Jake wrestled a great tourna-
ment and hes a guy that should
be in the NCAA Tournament,
coach Carl Fronhofer said. He
got it done this weekend so he
didnt have to wait around for
the qualifying process.
This will be OHaras first
NCAA trip and hell be joined
by two teammates.
Im proud of Jake and Im
proud of the whole team, Fron-
hofer said.
BIG SHOT FOR SWABACK
Scranton senior Matt Swaback
has scored 237 points this sea-
son, but none were bigger than
the three he scored last Friday.
The 6-foot-8, 210-pound cen-
ter from Kingston (Wyoming
Seminary) hit a three-point
basket with 1.2 seconds remain-
ing in regulation in a NCAA
Division III first-round game
against Messiah. The Royals
went on to win 70-67 in over-
time, and followed that by
defeating Becker 69-41 to earn a
spot in the Sweet 16.
The basket against Messiah
was his only one of the game.
He had nine points in the Beck-
er victory.
On the season, Swaback is
rebounds a game. He leads the
team in blocked shots with 26
and has 43 assists and 19 steals.
Hitting from three-point range
is not new for the senior. Hes
connected on 53 of 128 (.414)
this season.
Scranton (22-7) will meet
Middlebury in the round of 16
Friday.
SECOND FOR NOVAK
Lindsey Wilson College fresh-
man David Novak (Tunkhan-
nock) finished second overall in
the Mid-Western Collegiate
Cycling Conference Road Race
hosted by the Blue Raiders
recently in Columbia, Ky.
Novak finished 17th in the
road race portion and second in
the criterium to earn 85 points
for his team in the event which
drew 20 colleges.
Novak is currently ranked
fourth in the MWCCC, the Blue
Raiders in second place. The
team returns to action March
17-18 in a road race at Linden-
wood University in St. Charles,
Mo.
FAZZINI A KEY RESERVE
The Stonehill mens basketball
team, fresh from capturing the
Northeast-10 Tournament title,
is seeded second in the NCAA
Division II East Regionals and
junior Adam Fazzini (Crest-
wood) is a key player off the
bench for the 21-8 Skyhawks. In
fact, you could call him a su-
per sub.
The 6-foot-7, 195-pound
guard had nine points, six re-
bounds, a blocked shot and an
assist in 27 minutes in Stone-
hills 73-61 victory over UMass-
Lowell in the championship
game. He had 15 points (hitting
four-of-eight 3-point shots),
three rebounds, two assists and
a steal in 30 minutes of action
in a 73-60 triumph over Adel-
phi. NE-10 teams Lowell, Adel-
phi and Franklin Pierce will join
Stonehill in the East Regionals.
On the season, Fazzini is
rebounds with 18 assists and 24
steals. Hes hit 61 of 134 3-point
attempts (45.5) and had a ca-
reer-high 22 points in a game
against Holy Family earlier in
the season.
SZPYNDA GETTING BET-
TER Sophomore Erica Szpyn-
da (Berwick) wrapped up the
indoor season in fine style in
the shot put for the Widener
womens track team and is
looking forward improving even
more this spring when the
Pride heads outdoors.
Szpynda posted a career-best
toss of 41-11
1
4 to finish second
in the shot at the Eastern Col-
lege Athletic Conference Divi-
sion III Championship last
weekend at The Armory in New
York City. She just missed the
NCAA Division III qualifying
distance.
Prior to that, she finished
third in the Middle Atlantic
Conference Championship. Her
38-11 effort was good for a
second-place tie but a decision
by the judges dropped her to
third.
The Pride will open the out-
door season March 24 at West
Chester. Szpynda, who finished
second in the shot at last years
MAC Outdoor Championships,
also competes in the discus in
the spring.
FLANAGAN DANCING
Junior Alyssa Flanagan (Hazle-
ton Area) and her Bloomsburg
womens basketball team will
face Indiana (Pa.) in the first
round of the NCAA Division II
Championships on Friday in
Edinboro. Bloomsburg defeated
IUP 75-67 in the PSAC semi-
finals.
The Huskies (26-5) earned an
at-large berth after losing the
PSAC title game 74-58 to Edin-
boro last Saturday.
Flanagan, a 5-foot-5 point
guard, has started all 31 games
and leads the team in assists
with 130. Shes averaging 4.9
points with 120 rebounds and
42 steals.
Sophomore Brianna Dudeck
(Hazleton Area) is a reserve on
the squad. Shes played in 24
games off the bench and is
rebounds with 11 assists and 10
steals.

extensive planning.
He obviously didnt have the
money to get the vehicles, Ulfig
said. His conduct was indeed
criminal.
Dykstra, 49, has had a series of
recent legal troubles and the
prison sentence is part of a post-
career downward spiral for the
stocky slugger known as Nails
that has included a stint at a so-
ber living facility.
In a rambling and impas-
sioned plea for probation, Dyks-
tra said he has tried to make
amends for his past transgres-
sions and said he would be clear-
ed of any wrongdoing had his
motion to withdraw his plea
been granted.
Im doing everything in my
power to be a better person, he
said.
Dykstra, wearing a gray suit
with a blue shirt, was immedi-
ately remanded to custody as he
walked into the courts back
room, hands in his pockets.
Dykstra has earned nearly a
years worth of credit toward his
sentence for time already
served.
Following the hearing, de-
fense attorney Andrew Flier said
Dykstra was singled out because
hes a celebrity.
No way this wasnt a proba-
tionary case, Flier said. To
give him state prison is outra-
geous. I find it disgusting.
Dykstra initially pleaded not
guilty to 25 counts after police
arrested him and found cocaine,
Ecstasy and synthetic human
growth hormone at his Los An-
geles home last April. He
changed his plea in October to
no contest and in exchange pros-
ecutors dropped 21 counts.
Prosecutors said Dykstra and
his accountant, Robert Hymers,
27, provided information at two
dealerships from a man they
claimed was a co-signer but who
had not authorized his name to
be used. The leases were not ap-
proved.
However, at another auto deal-
er, Dykstra, Hymers and Chris-
topher Gavanis, 30, a friend of
Dykstras, were able to drive off
with three cars by providing
fraudulent information to the
dealer. Hymers and Gavanis
have entered no contest pleas as
well and are awaiting sentenc-
ing.
Ulfig noted Dykstra wasnt
dissuaded the first two times
with the scam and hit a home
run the third time. Those cars,
Flier argued, were later returned
and only depreciated in value.
In arguing for the maximum
four-year sentence, Deputy Dis-
trict Attorney Alexander Karka-
nen said Dykstra has used his
charmand celebrity status to get
what he wants and has never
been accountable for his actions.
Im glad Lenny Dykstra has
been held responsible for his be-
havior, Karkanen said outside
of court. This is a first for him.
Dykstra still faces federal
bankruptcy charges and is
scheduled to stand trial this
summer. He filed for bankruptcy
a few years ago, claiming he
owed more than $31 million and
had only $50,000 in assets. Fed-
eral prosecutors said that after
filing, Dykstra hid, sold or de-
stroyed more than $400,000
worth of items from the $18.5
million mansion without per-
mission of a bankruptcy trustee.
Dykstra, who spent his 12-year
career with the Mets and Phila-
delphia Phillies, also has plead-
ed not guilty to indecent expo-
sure charges for allegedly expos-
ing himself to women he met on
Craigslist.
Dykstra said he didnt deserve
to be put in jail on trumped-up
charges and said he wasnt able
to go to the funeral of his mother
who died while he was incarcer-
ated awaiting trial. He noted
that he chose to go into a drug
rehab center, volunteers his time
with a college baseball team and
has paid nearly $20 million in
taxes.
I do have remorse for some of
the things Ive done, he said.
But because I wasnt a perfect
person am I a criminal? Every-
one wants to make me out to be
a monster.

Michalek and Chris Kunitz
scored three minutes apart in
the first period, and Marc-Andre
Fleury made 36 saves as the
Pittsburgh Penguins beat the
Phoenix Coyotes 2-1 on Monday
night for their sixth straight
victory.
The Penguins extended the
NHLs longest current winning
streak by holding off a late
charge from the suddenly
slumping Coyotes.
Ray Whitney scored 21st goal
of the season, but Phoenix drop-
ped its third straight after going
unbeaten in regulation in Febru-
ary to surge to the top of the
Pacific Division.
Mike Smith recovered after a
shaky start to finish with 26
saves, but the Coyotes couldnt
stop the Penguins from improv-
ing to 10-1 in their last 11 home
games.
Phoenix outshot Pittsburgh
37-28 and tilted the ice on sever-
al occasions, but Fleury contin-
ued his brilliant play in winning
his sixth consecutive start. He
has stopped 163 of the last 168
shots he has faced. Fleury has
35 wins, one behind Nashvilles
Pekka Rinne for the league lead.
The Coyotes surge in Febru-
ary, when they went 11-0-1, coin-
cided with spectacular play from
Smith, but his slipped in March.
He was beaten by only two
shots from one of the leagues
most potent offenses, but the
Penguins are playing so well
that every miscue by an oppo-
nent is magnified.

McIlroy is the second-young-
est player to be No. 1in the world
ranking Woods was 21 when
he first reached the top after the
U.S. Open in 1997. And it should
be noted that Woods only stayed
at No. 1 for one measly week. Af-
ter trading places with Ernie Els,
Greg Norman and eventually Da-
vid Duval, Woods finally estab-
lished himself as the best by stay-
ing at No. 1 for more than five
years.
Its too early to call McIlroy the
next Tiger.
Even though there are similar-
ities intheir age, it is worthpoint-
ing out their differences.
McIlroy reached No. 1 in his
115th tournament that count to-
wardthe ranking; Woods reached
the top in his 21st tournament.
McIlroy won for the fifth time
in his career, including a U.S.
Openhe wonat Congressional by
eight shots with a record score
(268). When Woods played 115
tournaments, he already hadwon
five majors and 32 tournaments
around the world.
Even as Woods appears to be
getting closer to regaining full
form, his gallery was double the
size of the crowd following McIl-
royinthe final round, andnot just
because Woods has made south
Florida his new home. Woods re-
mains compelling. No one has ev-
er won more majors so quickly,
and there remains interest
whether he can make it all the
way back.
Four players have been No. 1
since Woods abdicatedhis throne
16 months ago Lee Westwood,
Martin Kaymer, Luke Donald
and now McIlroy. The difference
is that McIlroy is so young, and
already has accomplished so
much.
He might only have five wins,
but three were in the United
States, including a major.
Not everyone accepted West-
wood as the worlds No. 1 player
duringhis twostints that covered
22 weeks because he never won a
major. There is no correlation be-
tween No. 1 and winning majors,
it only seemed that way because
Woods was at the top for so long
and had won 14 majors before he
turned 33.
Thats why Donald, despite be-
ing No. 1 longer than anyone be-
sides Woods in the last 15 years,
was slow to gain proper respect.
It tookhimwinningthe money ti-
tles on two tours before Donald
got his due.
Kaymer had won a PGACham-
pionship, yet remained an enig-
ma.
With McIlroy, there is no de-
bate.
Hes got a game that people
think is world No. 1, three-time
major champion Padraig Har-
rington said. Thats why nobody
is going to have any complaints
about Rory being world No. 1. He
won a major at a young age. Hes
got the game. Yeah, you can com-
pare himwith Tiger. Hes still got
a lot to do. And theres no doubt
that Tigers14majors are very im-
pressive.
But if youre going to win a lot
of majors, youve got to start win-
ning them early, Harrington
said. At 22 years of age, the
world No. 1, a major in the bank,
hes going to play a lot of majors
where hell be the favorite.
Harrington won his first major
at Carnoustie in 2007, when
McIlroy was an 18-year-old ama-
teur who played bogey-free in the
opening round for a 68 and went
on to be the low amateur. At the
trophy presentation that day,
Harrington said he was happy to
get his major before this kid from
Northern Ireland started win-
ning one.
Theres very few players as
good as him at his age out there
winning tournaments, Harring-
tonsaid. There are guys withpo-
tential, but hes already deliver-
ed. And he has a good balance in
his life. He doesnt look like a guy
who is going to burn out. He
looks like hes goingtobe here for
a while.
Not since Woods has anyone
shown this much potential at
such a young age. McIlroy has
worked hard on his short game,
particularly his putting inside 6
feet, which had kept him from
winning more. In his last 12 tour-
naments, he has won three times
(one of them the Shanghai Mas-
ters, which was unofficial). Only
once he has finished out of the
top five.
This is the consistency re-
quired of the No. 1 player in golf.
McIlroy has consistency and
power, a lethal combination. And
there doesnt appear to be any
swing changes along the way.
Hes a very good player, very
young, still learning, Westwood
said. I think hes got a fairly
bright future.
MCILROY
The last time the Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton Penguins took
on the St. Johns IceCaps for a
weekend series, it was a score-
keepers nightmare.
Both games were played in
Newfoundland in January, and
the first matchup saw two penal-
ty shots and three shorthanded
goals (including one on a penalty
shot and two during the same
penalty kill).
The Penguins won that game,
6-4, and in a rematch the next
night they opened the game with
yet another shorthanded goal
and both teams combined for 60
minutes of penalties.
The Penguins won that game
with an overtime tally from Ben
Street.
Tonight, when St. Johns
skates onto the ice at the Mohe-
gan Sun Arena, the Penguins are
expecting a return to normalcy.
Fans may not see two penalty
shots and three shorthanded
goals in the game, but they will
see a tight contest between two
of the top teams in the Eastern
Conference.
Its probably going to be a lot
more structured because both
teams have seen each other now
and knowwhat to expect, Street
said.
Brandon DeFazio, who scored
the game-winning goal in the
Penguins 3-2 win against Adiron-
dack on Sunday, predicts a low-
scoring battle maybe.
I would expect a playoff atmo-
sphere at this point in the season,
but you never know, he said.
Even head coach John Hynes
couldnt rule out the possibility
of something unusual happening
in tonights game.
Imnot sure what to expect as
far as the calls go and what hap-
pens, he said.
But there is one thing that the
Penguins can bank on -- they will
be facing a teamthat sat atop the
EasternConferencestandings for
months until Norfolk bumped it
down to second.
This is a team were trying to
catch, Street said. Its a possible
playoff opponent and, for us, the
two points are huge.
Its a tough opponent and a
good benchmark game for us to
see where were at and what we
need to work on.
The IceCaps are tied with the
Penguins for the best road win-
ning percentage in the league
(.750). Hynes said thats a sign
that St. Johns is a mentally tough
teamwithplayers whoknowhow
to be successful in the challeng-
ingenvironment of anopponents
rink.
The key to beating a strong
road team, DeFazio said, is for
the Penguins to establish their
game early.
Its your home rink so you
dont worry about what they do
on the road, he said. At home,
theres no excuse for us not com-
ing out with energy and being
ready to play.
Notes
The Penguins held a short
practice at the arena Monday.
Goaltender Scott Munroe, who
returned to action Sunday after
missingthe last twogames witha
lower body injury, didnt prac-
tice.
It was just a maintenance day
for him and he should be good to
go, Hynes said.
D Brian Strait was called up
to Pittsburgh on Monday. De-
spite missing one of his top de-
fensemen, Hynes still has nine
blueliners on the roster.
We have some health right
now so there will be an opportu-
nity for someone to get in the li-
neup and play more minutes, he
said.

ST. CATHARINES, Ontario
Connor Crisp allowed13 goals
and was selected the first star.
And he deserved the honor in
an unusual Ontario Hockey
League game.
The 17-year-old forward was
pressed into goal as an emergen-
cy replacement when Erie Otters
starting goalie Ramis Sadikov
was injured early in a 13-4 loss to
the Niagara IceDogs on Sunday.
Well, Ima roadhockey goalie,
ball hockey goalie, but thats the
first time Ive put on goalie equip-
ment and played on ice since I
was 5 years old, Crisp said.
The Pennsylvania club dressed
only one goalie after backup De-
vin Williams sustained a head in-
jury in a game against Saginaw.
Sadikov was knocked out 1:45 in-
to the game Sunday. IceDogs for-
ward Alex Friesen received a ma-
jor penalty for charging and a
game misconduct on the play.
With no backup on the bench
the Otters had to either dress a
player for the rest of the game or
forfeit.
Enter Crisp, who hadnt played
this season after undergoing
shoulder surgery, but was desig-
nated the backup goalie prior to
the game.
Not in my wildest dreams did
I ever think I would be playing to-
day, Crisp said.
Following a 20-minute delay
while he donned goalie equip-
ment, Crisp stepped onto the ice
and almost slipped, then fell
while taking warmup shots.
My feet are still cramped, I
canhardly walk right now, Crisp
said. Rammers skates were
three times too small and not
wide enough. Thats probably
why I couldnt skate.
Crispmadesixsaves inthefirst
period, 12 in the second and14 in
the third, which ended with a
standing ovation and the first-
star selection.
It was appreciatedso much
beyond words, Crisp said. Hon-
estly, it was embarrassing to let
some of those goals in, but I think
the IceDogs fans knew. I cant
say enough about how fun and
classy that was.
Ryan Strome led Niagara with
five goals and an assist.
Still, Crisp was the star.
As soon I got on the bus I
called my parents and as soon as
they picked up the phone they
were laughing, Crisp said. Its
definitely something I will never
forget.

Forward plays goalie, allows 13 in loss
who tested positive. Syracuse
won its lone national champion-
ship in 2003.
JimBoeheim, coach of the sec-
ond-ranked Orange, was not
available for comment.
Yahoo said it reviewed Syra-
cuses student-athlete drug poli-
cies dating to the 2000-01 school
year. They detailed the athletic
departments protocol for hand-
ling positive tests, including a
penalty structure for a players
first, second and third offense.
The Yahoo report said Syra-
cuse violated its drug policy by
failing to properly count positive
tests and playing ineligible play-
ers after they should have been
subject tosuspension. Twosourc-
es said that of the 10 players, at
least one continued to play after
failing four tests and another
played after failing three.
If Syracuse is found to have
knowingly violated its drug pol-
icy, it could trigger the NCAAs
so-called willful violators
clause, used when theres a pat-
tern of violations. That would al-
lowtheinvestigationtodateback
to when the infractions began.
Several Syracuse players have
had legal or disciplinary issues
since 2001, including Billy Ede-
lin, Eric Devendorf, Jonny Flynn,
Josh Wright and DeShaun Wil-
liams.
Beyond statute-of-limitations
issues, the Yahoo report says Sy-
racusecouldbechargedwithlack
of institutional control for failing
to adhere to its own drug policy,
similar to sanctions recently le-
vied against Baylor University.
Although the NCAA will be
conducting randomtesting of ev-
ery team at every game in the
NCAA tournament that begins
next week, schools are otherwise
left to police themselves for
drugs on their own terms.
The Yahoo report comes in the
aftermath of the firing of former
Syracuse assistant coach Bernie
Fine. He was accused of sexual
molestation by a former Orange
ball boy and his stepbrother.
While charges have yet to be filed
against Fine, he was fired in late
November.
SYRACUSE
working for other teams.
Goodell was not at the meet-
ing.
After the league made its in-
vestigation public Friday, Wil-
liams admitted to, and apol-
ogized for, running a bounty
pool of up to $50,000 over the
last three seasons, rewarding
players for knocking targeted
opponents out of games. The
league now wants to know
whether Williams who re-
cently left the Saints to be-
come defensive coordinator of
the St. Louis Rams ran a
similar scheme while a head
coach or assistant with the Ti-
tans, Redskins, Jaguars and
Bills.
Current Redskins lineback-
er Lorenzo Alexander, who
played under Williams in
Washington, said a player
could get rewarded for knock-
ing a player out of a game with
a clean hit, but only after the
fact not as a pre-planned
bounty. Sometimes players
wrote each other checks for
such plays.
It wasnt always Coach Wil-
liams who paid up, Alexander
said.
Several players described
their profession as ripe for this
to happen: a violent workplace
with plenty of cash floating
around.
Everybody knows those
things have been around.
Some people just unfortunate-
ly got caught with their hand
in the cookie jar, said Kyle
Turley, an offensive lineman
from 1998-07 for the Saints,
Rams and Chiefs and one of
hundreds of former players
who are plaintiffs in concus-
sion-related lawsuits against
the league. It happens a lot
on special teams, where they
prey on those young guys
the expendables as I like to
call them who want some
extra money or want to prove
their worth so they can stick
around longer.
Think of it as an incentive
system run amok.
A lot of business firms try
that sort of thing, whether its
for rewarding high perform-
ance among employees or
sales quotes or innovations,
University of Chicago sports
economist Allen Sanderson
said. This isnt all that much
different, other than that it in-
volves a little more pain and
suffering.
Several players have said
the Saints werent the only
team with such a system. Oth-
ers have described extra cash
doled out for interceptions or
fumbles or blocked kicks; that
is against NFL rules, too. Tur-
ley recalled contributing to
such funds himself, and de-
scribed seeing an assistant
coach he wouldnt say who
open a briefcase and pull
out wads of cash to toss to
players after a victory.
Every team had their deal,
Turley said.
Al Smith, a Houston Oilers
linebacker from 1987-96, said
the biggest payout he ever col-
lected from a player-generated
bonus fund was $500 or
something like that for a big
hit. ... It was enough to go on a
good date.

NEW ORLEANS A New
Orleans Saints official
familiar with club owner Tom
Bensons reaction to the
NFLs bounty investigation
says general manager
Mickey Loomis and head
coach Sean Payton still have
Bensons full support.
The official spoke to The
Associated Press on
condition of anonymity
Monday because the
investigation was still
ongoing. An NFL report says
between 22 and 27 defensive
players on the Saints, as well
as a former assistant coach,
maintained a bounty
program for inflicting injuries
on targeted opposing players
during the past three
seasons.
The bond between Sean
and Mickey and Mr. Benson
could not be stronger, the
team official said.
The official says Benson is
110 percent behind his guys,
and wants them focused on
improving the club for the
upcoming season.

IRS warns of tax scam
Retirees should beware of a new
scheme in which they are tempted by
unscrupulous people to file federal tax
returns for refunds they dont deserve,
said an Internal Revenue Service
spokesman.
Promoters claim they can obtain for
their victims, often senior citizens, a
tax refund or nonexistent stimulus
payment based on the American Op-
portunity Tax Credit, even if the victim
was not enrolled in or paying for col-
lege, the IRS warned.
Promoters may charge exorbitant
upfront fees to file these claims and are
often long gone when victims discover
theyve been scammed, according to
the IRS.
BP shares rise after deal
BP shares hit their highest level in a
year Monday after the companys an-
nouncement that it reached a settle-
ment with victims of the massive Gulf
of Mexico oil spill. BP shares closed up
46 cents at $47.96.
BP expects to pay out at least $7.8
billion as part of the settlement with
money from the $20 billion compensa-
tion fund that it established.
BP still has to resolve claims by the
U.S. government, Gulf states and its
partners in the Deepwater Horizon
project.
More Limbaugh ads pulled
More of Rush Limbaughs advertisers
say they are dropping his program after
the conservative talk show hosts de-
rogatory comments about a George-
town law student.
On Monday, AOL Inc. and Tax Reso-
lution Services Co. were the eighth and
ninth companies to say that they will
suspend advertising on Limbaughs
program, one of the most popular radio
shows in the country.
AOL, an Internet portal that runs the
TechCrunch blog and the Huffington
Post, said Monday that Limbaughs
comments are not in line with our
values.
Carry-on bins to grow
Packed planes and a high volume of
carry-ons are forcing airlines to expand
the space above passengers heads.
United and Delta are the latest airlines
to replace or upgrade bins so they hold
more luggage. And engineers at Boeing
are designing jet interiors with todays
bulkier luggage in mind.

WITH A RUMORED
launch date for the
iPad 3 closing fast,
many current iPad
owners are wonder-
ing just how much
tablet envy theyll
have to endure, or
whether an upgrade will be worth the
cost. The iPad 2 added front and rear
cameras, a streamlined chassis, and a
few other modest improvements, but
as an upgrade goes, it was not earth
shattering. So what do people have to
look forward to in the latest Apple
tablet? Although notorious for leak-
ing specifications or losing devices
prior to launch, Apple keeps a pretty
tight lid on some of its new product
releases, so its impossible to say what
the final specifications of the device
will be until its actually out in the
wild. But it is possible to look at some
of the inevitable minutia produced
during hardware procurement, the
capabilities listed in Apples Software
Development Kit, as well as the gener-
al state of the market and make some
educated guesses.
This upgrade seems like it could be
a big one. Android devices have been
packing 4G connectivity capabilities
(the Motorola Xoom, for example)
since around the time the iPad 2 was
released.
Theyve also got a big edge in proc-
essor power. In order to remain com-
petitive until its next product release,
Apple needs to meet, and preferably
exceed, the specifications of the com-
petition, since new Android devices
come to market continually. Rumors
from reliable sources say that the iPad
3 will have 4G Internet capabilities. If
true, this will be a first for Apple; Im
baffled as to why they didnt offer the
iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S with this fea-
ture. 4G connectivity is a game chang-
er, particularly given Apples focus on
cloud-based technologies.
For the iPad 3, 4G connectivity
would mean faster video streaming,
uploading and downloading, and
much faster internet surfing when not
connected to a Wi-Fi network in
other words, a big deal.
Its also possible the iPad 3 will
sport a display using Apples Retina
technology, which offers incredible
image clarity by increasing the num-
ber of pixels contained within every
inch of the screen, thereby allowing
more detail at a higher resolution in a
screen thats the same size as the
original and second generation iPad.
In order to drive both the Retina
display and improved 4G capabilities,
its likely that Apple will have beefed
up the graphics and general proc-
essing capabilities of the iPad 3
there arent any specifics on the proc-
essors just yet, but the iPad 3 probably
will support a state-of-the-art dual-
core (or possibly quad-core) proc-
essor.
The only other major item, short of
software, is the camera. The iPhone
4S offers an 8 megapixel camera, and
theres no reason to think that Apple
wouldnt use the same camera, or a
derivative in the iPad 3.
No word yet on pricing, but its
likely that it will be similar to the
original price for the iPad 2, which
cost from $499 to $829, with older
devices getting discounts to make
room for the new state-of-the-art.

EIJING -- China pared the na-

about 4 percent this year, unchanged
from the 2011 goal, according to a
state-of-the-nation speech that Pre-
mier Wen Jiabao delivered to about
3,000 lawmakers at the annual meet-
ing of the National Peoples Congress
inBeijing Monday.

SOUTHFIELD, Mich. -- General Motors
plans to begin taking orders in April on
pickups that run on both gasoline and com-
pressed natural gas, potentially reducing
costs for users.
The Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sier-
ra 2500 HD extended-cab pickups will be
offered with a 6.0-liter, V-8 engine that can
seamlessly transition between natural
gas and gasoline, the Detroit-based auto-
maker said Monday.
A vehicle such as the ones GM will offer
can save a driver $6,000 to $10,000 in fuel
costs over athree-year periodbecauseCNG
is cheaper than gasoline, said Joyce Matt-
man, director of GM commercial product
and specialty vehicles.
The bi-fuel option will expand GMs cus-
tomer base for CNG products, said Matt-
man, who declined to say how many CNG
pickups GM plans to sell.
Natural gas costs on average one-third
less than conventional gasoline and there
are 1,000 CNG-fueling stations in the Unit-
ed States, of which about half are open to
the public, according to Washington-based
trade group Natural Gas Vehicles for Amer-
ica.
GMsaid bi-fuel pickups will be offered to
both commercial and retail customers and
be delivered late this year.
The pickups will have tanks that canhold
the equivalent of 17 gallons of CNG and a
36-gallon tank of gasoline, giving the vehi-
cles a combined range of more than 650
miles, said Mike Jones, product manager
for GMs fleet and commercial operations.

Between now
and the end of
April, we would
need 28.4 inches
of snow to reach
what is normally
our average
snowfall for a
season. The
chances of
getting that
much seems to
me to be rather
slim. But of
course, I cant
go so far as to
say that were
done with
having any more
snow. Last year
on April 1, up to
5 inches of snow
fell in the
Poconos. And
some of you may
recall that back
on April 16, 2007,
we had 10 inch-
es. But the way
the weather is
trending these
days, I have to
think the odds
favor not getting
that big one
between now
and April 30. But
please dont
carve that in
stone anywhere.

Q: Do you think that
high fructose corn
sweetener is bad?
R.B., Philadelphia
A: Despite the wide-
spread use of high
fructose corn sweet-
ener, blamed by some
for the obesity epidemic seen in adults
and children, there have not been any
studies showing that fructose is different
than sucrose (table sugar). While were
probably consuming too much sugar
overall, the teaching to date has been that
sugar is sugar. That paradigmmight shift
a bit with a newcomparison study that
seems to showa difference between the
two.
Researchers at the University of Florida
evaluated the effect of 24 ounces of high
fructose corn syrup (HFCS) versus su-
crose-sweetened soft drinks on 40 men
and women, and found a difference be-
tween howthe two affect the body. They
found that the makeup of the sugars
resulted in howmuch fructose was ab-
sorbed by the body. Sucrose is 50 percent
fructose and 50 percent glucose bonded
together as a complex carbohydrate,
while HFCS is a mixture of 55 percent
free fructose and 45 percent free glucose.
The researchers showed that HFCS
soft drinks result in significantly higher
fructose blood levels than sucrose-sweet-
ened soft drinks. The HFCS soft drinks
resulted in a higher uric acid level and a 3
mmgreater rise in the systolic blood
pressure. High uric acid levels are not
only a risk factor for gout, but are associ-
ated with a higher risk of hypertension,
heart disease and kidney disease.
I would not viewHFCS as evil, but I
think its a good idea to put healthy limits
on the consumption of all sugar sweetened
beverages and foods, with the goals of a
balanced diet that avoids putting on excess
weight and adequate exercise. Obesity has
more to do with inadequate exercise/
activity than sugar.
Q: Ive had hives with itching and facial
swelling for the past 10 months. Ive been to
four MDs and have had many blood tests to
see what I may be allergic to. All tests show
nothing and Ive decided to seek help froma
homeopathic specialist. Can you help?
S.F., San Diego
A: Chronic hives are pretty tough to
figure out. Theyre most often froman
allergic reaction to a food, food additive/
preservative, drug or insect sting. One in
five people will have themat some point in
life. They generally dont last for more than
a day or so, and usually respond nicely to
an antihistamine.
Most of the time, we can figure out the
cause like a newsoap or perfume, or a
newmedication but sometimes the
cause isnt obvious, and the hives persist
for months or years.
Youre likely familiar with over-the-
counter antihistamines like Benadryl,
Claritin/Alavert, Zyrtec or Allegra. If they
dont help, we usually add a second anti-
histamine like Zantac or Pepcid. Even
though they help with heartburn and
ulcers, theyre also a type of antihista-
mine. The combination of using a tradi-
tional antihistamine along with an ulcer
medication like Zantac or Pepcid has
been shown to be effective in more than
half of those with hives.
Ashort course of prednisone may be
helpful as well. Afair number of folks with
chronic hives will have spontaneous clear-
ing of the hives in as mysterious a fashion
as when they first appeared.

orking out has such potential for simplic-

time, find a decently cute outfit.
Check, check and check.
Then you put on your shoes, and that dainty check-

shoes because they were a) the least ratty in your clos-

Televisionstar andanimal lov-
er Ellen DeGeneres featured his
greatest tricks video on her
talk show. David Letterman,
known for his stupid pet tricks
segment, called him for an audi-
tion. And hes been profiled for
the Japanese version of Animal
Planet.
Floridas latest career move?
Spero, a child and family ther-
apist, hopes to star Florida in a
book series aimed at helping
childrenovercome loss andtrau-
ma.
Anxious or shy youngsters
who might be afraid of a dog gig-
glewhentheyget toholdaturtle
that, following Speros hand
commands, will wave at themor
give them a high-five. If Florida
can come out of his shell, Spero
tells them, or bravely push his
way through obstacles like toy
block walls, well, so can they.
Even though a turtle doesnt
necessarily understand feelings,
I can use him to help children
learn about theirs, said Spero,
who started college wanting to
be a veterinarian. Hes finished
andself-publishedthe first book,
Florida The Turtle Who Thinks
Hes A Dog Finds his Feelings
($9.43, plus tax and shipping)
and is selling it at FloridaThe-
Turtle.com. Future volumes
may findFlorida dealing withdi-
vorce or a family death.
Floridas calling card so far,
however, has been his repertoire
of atypical tortoise moves.
Plucked from an obscure South
Florida pet store in 1983, Florida
soonprovedhewas uncommonly
attentive and friendly. Grabbing
at lettuce in Speros hand, he
reared back on his haunches, sat
up like a terrier, and the rest was
history.
Florida even has flown coach
class to film the Today show in
New York City, and had to spend
the night in a dresser drawer
when the hotel couldnt turn up a
terrariumas originally promised.
He spent most of his on-camera
appearance the next day tryingto
escape from host Matt Lauer. It
was December, Florida was cold
and hes not a morning person,
Spero said.
Animal-assisted therapy is
nothing new. Pet Partners, for-
merly called the Delta Society,
has been registering four-legged
therapists for about 20 years. The
certification assures hospitals
and nursing homes that volun-
teer pet therapy teams have been
trained, and that the animals are
clean and will behave appropri-
ately, saidspokesmanBill Kueser.
The Washington state organi-
zation has registered about
11,000 four-legged or feathered
therapists; besides dogs, there
are hamsters, pot-bellied pigs,
chinchillas and birds. But no rep-
tiles, including turtles. Kueser
says thats because the organiza-
tion cant figure out how to prop-
erly evaluate their work, andwor-
ries about disease transmission.
But Kueser isnt surprised that
playing with Florida helps Spe-
ros young patients relax and
open up. One of Pet Partners
board members is a therapist in
practice with a lizard.
To be fair, if any reptile has
good people skills, it probably
would be the box turtle. Dale R.
Jackson, a senior research zoolo-
gist at Florida State University,
said they generally are friendly
and very food motivated.
Speros early lettuce feedings
likely got Florida in the habit of
eagerly followinghis hands, Jack-
son said, and his unusually high,
round shell causes him to roll
over whenhe stretches toohigh.
Im not sure if I would call
themtricks, Jacksonsaid. But if
the turtle is helping out children,
thats great.
A trained turtle is a great ice-
breaker, Sperosaid, whenhis new
youngpatients thinkanoffice vis-
it means getting a shot or some-
thing else scary. Florida also
servesasarolemodel. AnnikaWi-
ble, a 9-year-old from Plantation
who has been seeing Spero since
her parents divorced, remembers
thinkingabout Florida stretching
his neck far out of his shell after
she had been hurt in gymnastics
and wanted to quit.
I thought, well, there is a tur-
tle out there and he can do all
these things, she said. I think
Florida inspires kids.

Askanyoneat thegymwhat you
should do for a better looking
stomach, andtheyllreplywithone
of themost commonfitnessmyths
there is: You should do crunches
for your abs. The truth is that
crunches do not work, and theyre
oneof themost dangerous exercis-
es for your lower backtoboot.
Whycrunchesdont work
Crunches dont address the real
reason you dont like the way your
stomach looks. Right now, youve
already got a four-pack or a six-
pack even if youve never exer-
cised a day in your entire life, and
you have terrible nutrition. If you
cant see your abs, the problem is
that there is too muchfat between
the skinandthe muscle.
If you cut your body fat in half,
your stomach will look way better,
even if you dont do any crunches
whatsoever because youare remov-
ingthefat that is hidingyour abs.
Thekeytoabetter stomachis fat
loss. Thereis nosuchthingas spot
reduction that will make the fat
overtopofthemgoawaywithoutre-
ducingtheother fat onyour body.
Fat loss is like a bathtub full of
water. If you take a big scoop out,
you do not end up with a scoop-
sizedholeinthewater; insteadthe
water level of thetubgoesdownas
awhole. Thisishowfat-lossworks;
if you cause your body to lose fat,
then your body-fat levels go down
everywhere. Sure, fat lossisnt per-
fectly uniform, but crunches are
not going to do anything to undo
howyour genes like tolose fat.
Thekeystofat loss
Nutrition. You cant out-train a
bad diet unless you are an 18 year
oldmale. Primarilycutoutthesug-
ar and flour. Simple carbs make
youfat andhungry.
Resistance training. You want
moves that recruit maximum mus-
cle mass, so you stimulate maximal
increase in your metabolism after
you workout. So, crunches could be
calleda resistance exercise, but they
targetverylittleofyourbody.Aplank
would be a much better choice as it
involves your legs, butt, arms and
shoulders.
High intensity interval training.
Short sprints and longer rests re-
peated over and over again (a 30-
secondbikesprint, 60-secondslow
peddling, repeated for 10 rounds).
Like resistance training, high in-
tensity interval training will also
give you a nice metabolic boost af-
ter your workout to help melt the
fat off your midsection.
Other exercise such as walking,
jogging, etc. Do not start with the
lowest priority activity. This is
where everyone starts, and start-
ingwiththeleastimportantkindof
exercise is one of the big reasons
most people get no results. Move
ontothiscategoryif youhavemore
than5or6hoursperweekforexer-
cise. If you dont have that much
time, ignore other stuff.
Why crunches arent safe
The worlds leading expert on
lower back pain is Dr. Stuart
McGill. Hestudieswherelowback
pain and injuries come from, how
to prevent them and how to treat
them. Here is what he has to say
about crunches:
Acoupleof yearsagowesought
the most potent mechanism lead-
ing to (spinal) disc herniation,
McGill sad. Wefoundthat repeat-
edflexion motion (crunching) un-
der simultaneous compressive
loading was the easiest way to en-
sure herniation.
What todoinstead
Lookfor abor coreexercises
where the work is to prevent
movement. Agreatplaceforpretty

the basic plank (my YouTube
Channel Josefb20017 has a decent
video explanation of how to do a
plank correctly). See if you can do
two sets of perfect holds for 30-45
seconds.

paying the salaries of shoe-com-
pany employees) that you
shouldnt swapout runningshoes
for tennis shoes, or basketball for
lacrosse, or soccer for volleyball,
or Zumba for racquetball. With
each sport, feet move in different
ways, and shoes need to provide
support or flexibility for such en-
deavors.
Thus, the $17.5 billion that
Americans spent on athletic
shoes in 2010, according to the
National Sporting Goods Associ-
ation.
Where a running shoe needs
to be flexible, a court shoe needs
to be a little more firmbecause of
what youre trying to do, says
Conway, 52, who lives in Arling-
ton. In basketball, theres a lot of
forward, backward, side-to-side.
You need a firm sole of a shoe to
give support through those mo-
tions.
A tennis shoe needs support to
compensate for side-to-side
movements and toe cushioning
for the sports stop-and-go move-
ments, says Angie Brown, direc-
tor of rehabilitation services at
Medical City Dallas Hospital.
If it doesnt fit and youre con-
stantly coming to a stop quickly,
your foot can hit the end of it and
get jammed into the toe area,
Brownsays. Youre gettingblood
under your toenail and you can
lose the toenail.
If you have a hammertoe
that is, toes curledunder or bu-
nions, the pain and foot trauma
could be even worse, she says.
As purchasingmanager for Run
On, KatiePyles vocationis shoes.
An athlete froma young age, Pyle
has knowntheimportanceof buy-
ing sports-specific shoes. She
would never, she says, have
dreamed of wearing a running
shoe to compete in a basketball
gameor asoftball cleat toasoccer
game.
Pyle, 32, says specific shoes
give what every athlete wants: an
edge. It could be in the form of
preventing injury or a better grip
on the surface or increasing
speed. Could you use a running
shoe to play basketball? Sure, and
you may even make a few shots.
Similarly, says Pyle, who lives
in McKinney, you could bring a
Toyota Prius to go off-roading in
rugged terrain. But the person
who shows up in a four-wheel-
drive Land Rover stands a better
chance every time. Thats what a
Land Rover is built for.
Maybe nothing bad will hap-
pen if you dont wear the right
shoe. But you could end up pay-
ing a visit to Brown or one of her
fellow physical therapists.
If your shoes dont fit right,
you can end up getting blisters
and then jam your toe and then
you start to run or walk funny be-
cause youre compensating for
the shoe, says Brown, 42, of Al-
len, Texas. That could lead to
painor injuryintheankle, hipand
lower back.
It might start as knee pain,
she says. Why does that hurt?
Because youre walking funny.
Why am I walking funny? Be-
cause your shoe doesnt fit.
Here are some tips on how to
buy the right shoe:
Do your research on what
type of shoe is best for your sport.
Youll have more of an idea of
what to look for. This doesnt en-
tail asking friends what they
wear, because your feet are not
their feet.
Seek help. At running stores
such as Run On and Lukes Lock-
er, employees are trained to
watchcustomers walkor run, and
offer a selection of shoes most
likely to fit according to their gait
and how they move. Sporting
goods stores have shoes arranged
by sport.
Bring your old shoes. The
wear pattern on their soles can
help experts determine how
youve worn them down; i.e., if
youpronate(walkinwardonyour
shoes) or supinate (walk on the
outsole).
Shop at the end of the day.
Feet swell; the pair of shoes that
fits fine at10a.m. will probably be
too snug by dusk.
Try them on. Walk around
the store. Jog up and down the
aisles. If you just take them for
looks alone, you wont care about
appearance once your feet start
hurting.
Buytheright size. Yes, evenif
it is bigger than what you think
you wear. In running and walking
shoes, youll need a pair at least a
half to full size larger than usual.
Its no reflection on your weight.
Really.
Make sure theyre comfort-
able NOW. Dont tell yourself,
Oh, theyll stretch. You should
be able to put them on and start
walking right this very minute.
Or playing tennis. Or sashaying
through your aerobics class.
WHATS BEST FOR YOUR
GAME?
Additional advice fromexperts
on buying sport-specific shoes.
TENNIS
The expert: Marty Berry-
man, tennis coach at Collin Col-
lege
What to
look for: Dura-
bility, good
traction. In
tennis, youre
stopping on a
dime and go-
ing in the oth-
er direction,
says Berry-
man, whos
coached for 34 years. You want a
shoe to grip the court but to re-
lease so the athlete can move.
What else to look for: Make
sure the cup inside the shoe that
holds the foot doesnt slip.
Anything else? Generally
tennis players will be on the balls
of their feet. Is there adequate
cushion there?
What he and the team wear:
Prince T22
BASKETBALL
The expert: Brian Conway,
member of the board of directors
of Dallas-based National Athletic
Trainers Associ-
ation
What to look
for: You want a
bend in the fore-
foot because
youre onyour toes
a lot, says Con-
way, also director
of sports medicine
for Ben Hogan
Sports Therapy Institute.
What elsetolookfor: Abroad
toe box, which, as its name im-
plies, is where the toes are. As
you move and cut, your feet will
spread out. If it is too narrow,
your foot cant work the way that
is most beneficial.
The heel
counter is the
curve in the
back of the
shoe. It needs to
be a lot firmer
and more snug
than in a run-
ning shoe.
Anything
else? Lace-ups
over Velcro. Tightening the lac-
es keeps your foot where its sup-
posed to be.
What he wears: He hasnt
played basketball for a while, he
says, but his teenage son wears
Nike Zoom Hyper Fuse.
SOCCER
The expert: Eric Bell, wom-
ens soccer coach at Texas Chris-
tian University; Conway of Ben
Hogan Sports Therapy Institute
What to look for: Comfort.
Soccer shoes should feel like a
glove on your hand, Bell says.
They need to be a happy balance
between
snug and
not too
tight. You
want to be
able to
strike the
ball proper-
ly.
Cau-
tions Con-
way: People try to get a smaller
shoe because they feel like if its
compact and they kick, the ball
will explode off. But to play you
have to be able to move. You cant
move if the shoe is tight.
What else to look for: The
proper shoe for the proper sur-
face, Bell says. For a hard ground,
you need a shoe with a molded,
rubber-type
cleat, he says.
For soft
ground, you
need a shoe
with metal
studs for better
traction.
Anything
else? Quality,
Bell says.
Look to make sure the crafts-
manshipis toyour liking, as well
as the material used to make the
shoe. In other words, check for
details like even stitching. If
youre buying a shoe and have
money to afford a decent one, go
for the more expensive because
its made better, he says. It
should last you a season.
What he wears: Nike Tiempo
LegendIVElite (The school has a
contract with Nike.)
RUNNING
The experts: Kerry Little,
Dallas Lukes Locker training co-
ordinator, and Duncan Cragg,
shoe manager for its Mocking-
bird Lane location.
What to look for: Ashoe that
feels like an extension of your
foot. It should support your foot
so your toes arent cramped, yet
fit snugly enough so you have to
untie it to take it off.
What else to look for: A heel
that fits snugly, but with a
thumbs widthbetweentheendof
your toe and the shoe. If the heel
slips, check out nrunnersworld-
.comtolearnthe simple but effec-
tive runners loop way of lacing
your shoes.
Anything else? Plan on buy-
ing a new pair every 300 to 400
miles, Lit-
tle says.
One test:
Turn your
shoe over.
Press on
the mid-
sole, what
she calls
the sweet
spot in the
middle of the ball of the foot. If it
feels mushy, like foamrubber in-
stead of responsive rubber,
Cragg says, its time for a new
pair.

Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Ange-

For more Sudoku go to www.timesleader.com
O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: My hus-
band and I are in our
30s and have been
happily married for
almost six years. Af-
ter two years of try-
ing, were expecting
our first child.
The problem is, how do we handle
questions as to whether or not we
conceived naturally? I am appalled by
people we hardly know asking if we
did in vitro fertilization.
We DID conceive using IVF, after
having tried numerous other options.
We dont see anything wrong with it
nor are we ashamed. But I dont think
it is anyone elses business. Please
help me respond properly without
seeming as rude as those who ask.
Intruded On in Dallas
Dear Intruded On: Handle it by say-
ing, That is a very personal question
and Id rather not discuss it. That an
acquaintance would have such little
respect for boundaries to ask this
question is appalling, I agree.
Dear Abby: My mother retired and
since I have a degree and background
in finance, she asked me to help her
get her finances in order. She held
low-paying jobs most of her working
life, so I was pleasantly surprised to
find she had amassed a substantial
amount of money in her retirement
and other accounts.
Together, Mom and I developed
a budget that will not only pay her
bills, but will also give her a certain
amount of spending money each
month while still allowing her savings
to grow. Despite my assurances, she
still wont treat herself to dinners out
or go on nice vacations even though
she says shed like to do those things.
How can I convince her that she has
the money now to enjoy them?
Wants the Best For Mom in
Michigan
Dear Wants The Best For Mom:
Recognize that the habits of a lifetime
can be difficult to break. Your mother
might be more open to dinners out if
you go together. As to the vacations,
do some research for her online or
talk to a travel agent and get some
brochures for vacation spots you
think she might enjoy. It doesnt have
to be fancy or exotic the greatest
adventure can start with baby steps.
Be patient and you may find she be-
comes receptive.
Dear Abby: Im one of four guys who
go on a mens golf trip every year.
Theres no infidelity just three
days of golf and fine dining.
I no longer want to go because Im
tired of being the big brother, the ref-
eree and the designated driver while
the others get drunk and obnoxious
and are oblivious to others around us.
I am also a physician who treats them
and their families in my medical prac-
tice. How do I get out of this mess? I
dont want to hurt anyones feelings.
The Odd Man Out
Dear Odd Man Out: An effective way
to manage it would be to tell them
that the dates they have selected for
the golf trip dont work for you.
You dont have to be specific about
why it could be a family obligation
or something related to your practice
that makes you unavailable.
As their physician, if you know
these patients drink to such excess
that they become oblivious and a dan-
ger behind the wheel, it would be in
their interests to talk to them about it
during their medical exam.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Intrusive question puts a damper on expecting mothers joyful news
To receive a collection of Abbys most
memorable and most frequently re-
quested poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus
check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in
Canada) to: Dear Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box
447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage
is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). It will
be an effort to learn a different
way of solving a problem, but be
adventurous. You can always go
back to whats tried and true if
the new way doesnt suit you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Youll
have some alone time, and you
shouldnt spend it all doing dili-
gent and important work. Goof
off. Thats what good friends
do together, and youre learn-
ing each day how to be a better
friend to yourself.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Youre laugh-out-loud funny. If
the others arent laughing, its
because your humor is too dar-
ing. But express it anyway, and
then laugh all by yourself if you
have to.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your
power drive is high, and youll be
irritated by anyone who tries to
dominate you or give you unso-
licited advice. Youll show compe-
tence in any group you join.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You are
super-capable. You likely will
have more energy than others,
and you wont mind doing extra
work. You may yield to the needs
of your loved ones because its
the easiest thing to do.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You may
be accused of being too rigid,
but maybe thats a good thing.
Being too flexible can lead to
disorganization and a lack of
self-discipline.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Competition and the struggle to
get ahead will play a significant
part in your life. Youll be bet-
ter off for the pressure, though,
which will bring out the best in
you, as it usually does.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It may
feel as though the day goes by
without progressing your inter-
ests. But if you think about the
effect your efforts will have in
the long run, what youre doing
now is absolutely crucial.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
You have your own ideas about
how things should be done.
Youll research and put your
theories to the test until youre
certain that youre right. Avoid
contests with combative types.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Whatever will prove to be a
disempowering word. Better to
decide on the particular what
you want and let people know.
This afternoon, youll feel lucky.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There
are aspects of your life that
never seem to get the attention
they deserve even though they
really matter to you. Happiness
is finding a way to spend time on
one of these neglected areas.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Youll
be highly motivated early in the
day. The evening brings a bit of a
slump. It will be the same tomor-
row, so plan to get up early and
do your best work in the a.m.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (March 6).
Youll feel loved and will have an
overwhelming sense of belong-
ing. The next month brings a
breakthrough in your financial
sector, mostly having to do with
the high level of responsibility
you display. Fun times in April
may start a tradition that contin-
ues for the next decade. Strong
love bonds form over the sum-
mer. Cancer and Taurus people
