inger Health Plan members now

have another option for treat-
ment in a hospital.
Commonwealth Health and
Geisinger Health Plan an-
nounced on Monday that they
reached an agreement giving
GHP members access to Wilkes-
Barre General Hospital and the
hospitals network of outpatient
sites throughout the region.
As of March 1, all Wilkes-
Barre General facilities were
considered in-network providers
for GHP members.
The agreement covers all
lines of business including: Geis-
inger Health Plan HMO for busi-
nesses, Geisinger Choice PPO

Geisinger Gold Medicare Advan-
tage and Medicare Supplement
plans, GHP Family Medical As-
sistance plan, GHP Kids Chil-
drens Health Insurance Plan
and Geisinger Health Options
for self-funded employers.
Wilkes-Barre General Hospi-
tal CEO Cornelio Catena said
the agreement will signicantly
benet consumers.
Individuals and families with
GHP insurance now have access
to a wider array of advanced
health services and skilled phy-
sicians. Having more options
when seeking care is a denite
advantage for area residents,
Catena said in a joint statement
with GHP.
Dr. Duane E. Davis, president
and CEO for GHP, said the com-
panys more than 46,000 mem-
bers in Luzerne County now
have additional choices for qual-
ity care.
We are committed to provid-
ing our members with access
to the best providers for their
needs, Davis said.
The agreement also means

Commonwealth Health facili-
ties.

The anonymous call came in
at 8 a.m Monday: A man walk-
ing his dog near Highland Park
Boulevard saw someone driv-
ing a black sport utility vehicle
dump what appeared to be a
body behind a Dumpster.
Within minutes, six investi-
gators were on scene collect-
ing evidence and snapping
photos of the bloodied body of
a female, who was stabbed to
death at the edge of the park-
ing lot of the McCann School
of Business and Technology.
It was a startling scene for
staff and students who stopped
by to watch the unfolding
drama. They didnt know the
entire scene the body, the
blood, the knife wasnt real.
The murder was the
product of the imagination of
educators at the school, who
joined together to create an
elaborate crime scene thatpro-
vided hands-on experience to
students in the various crimi-
nal justice disciplines taught
there.
The six detectives stu-
dents in the security and inves-
tigations class seized upon
the scene, collecting evidence,
including a bloodied knife.
The items will next be turned
over to students in the medical
technician class, who will run
ngerprints and DNA tests in
hopes of identifying a suspect.
A cell phone found at the
scene will go to the Internet
Technology students, who will
search for calls and texts the
victim may have made or re-
ceived.
Once the investigations
complete, the case will go to
the paralegal department for
preparation for the mock trial,
which is expected to take place
in about a week or two. School
ofcials are working on having
The inmate suspected in the
killing of federal prison guard
Eric Williams was involved with
a violent gang known to take part
in wide-scale drug trafcking, ex-
tortions and murders, according
to federal court documents.
Jessie Con-Ui of Arizona was
serving a sentence of more than
11 years in fed-
eral prison for
his 2005 con-
viction on drug
charges involv-
ing the New
Mexican Maa,
federal court
records from
Arizona show.
Con-Ui has
not been charged in Williams
homicide, which took place on
Feb. 25 at the federal correction-
al institution at Canaan. He was
identied as the suspect in court
documents led Monday that ap-
point two attorneys to represent
him in the Pennsylvania case.
The order, signed by U.S. Dis-
trict Court Chief Judge Yvette
Kane, appoints James Swetz of
Stroudsburg and Mark Fleming
of San Diego, Calif., to represent
Con-Ui, whom Kane says is un-
der investigation for the Canaan
homicide. Kanes order notes the
case has the potential to be a
death-penalty case and that Con-
Ui does not have the nancial
ability to hire his own attorney.
TOBYHANNA The Toby-
hanna Army Depot, the regions
largest employer, has notied a
private contractor that it may
not need up to 418 of its work-
ers by the end of April. The job
losses come on top of recent
retirements of 150 employees
and news that all employees
will be furloughed for 22 days
between April 1 and Sept. 30.
Faced with decreasing fund-
ing for workload, the depot has
notied URS Federal Support
Services Inc., of Oklahoma
City, Okla., that it may no lon-
ger require up to 418 industrial
trade and electronics workers
and related support functions.
The phased reduction will
begin Friday and would con-
tinue through the end of April.
We have assessed our work-
load thoroughly, and we do not
have funding or sufcient work
to justify retention of these
personnel at this time. These
reductions are always difcult,
but we must be prudent stew-
ards of our resources to maxi-
mize the efcient support we
deliver to the men and women
of our Armed Forces, said de-
pot commander Col. Gerhard
P.R. Schrter.
The rst reduction of 95 con-
tract workers will take place
Friday. This will include indus-
trial trade workers, electronics
workers and employees of URS
HARRISBURG Former
Penn State assistant football
coach Jerry Sanduskys major
claims as he appeals a child
sexual abuse conviction include
the many years
that went by
before accus-
ers notied
aut hor i t i es,
according to a
pair of defense
lings Mon-
day.
A t t o r n e y
Norris Gelman listed the fail-
ure to report specically, the
judges refusal to instruct jurors
on the issue as a critical el-
ement of Sanduskys effort to
overturn the 45-count convic-
tion.
Gelman also argued that the
defense lawyers lacked suf-
cient time to prepare for the
three-week trial last summer.
He revisited arguments previ-
ously rejected by the judge who
presided over the trial, John
Cleland. The new lings set the
stage for formal appeals before
Superior Court.
Sandusky was convicted of
molesting 10 boys over a pe-
riod of several years in a case
that brought down Hall of Fame
coach Joe Paterno and led to
sanctions against Penn States
storied football program. San-
dusky, 69, is serving 30 to 60
years at a state prison. He ac-
knowledges showering with
boys but insists he didnt molest
any of them.
Penn States costs from the
huge fallout from the scandal
topped $41 million as of the
end of December, the university
posted Monday on a website.

Jerry E. Haynes
March 10, 2013
J
erry E. Haynes, 74, of West
Pittston, quietly passed away
early March 10, 2013 in his home
with his family.
Jerry was born in Charlotte,
N.C., grewup in Flushing Queens,
N.Y., and lived around the U.S. be-
fore settling in the Wyoming Val-
ley in 1976.
Jerry loved music and art. His
life was an amazing improvisa-
tion. Jerry loved music and want-
ed to repair musical instruments.
He walked into a shop in Texas
and asked for a job working with
instruments. Jerry developed his
skills and moved back to New
York City to work at Giardinelli
Instruments. Upon arrival in the
Wyoming Valley, Jerry worked at
Deluca Music in Plains before set-
ting up shop at his home in West
Pittston. He loved to tell stories
of the renowned Jazz musicians
he met in New York, and the hun-
dreds of students whose instru-
ments he repaired in the region.
Although he could play many in-
struments, the ute was his favor-
ite. Jerry also liked to create with
paint on canvas and stained glass.
His artwork hangs in the homes of
family and friends.
Jerry loved his Lord. Jerry
was a member at the Forty Fort
Presbyterian Church. When his
health permitted he had attended
Emmanuel Assembly of God in
Harveys Lake, where he taught
Sunday School. Jerry believed
that he should carry Gods Word
and minister when possible. One
of those opportunities was shar-
ing Gods Hope through prison
ministry in Dallas.
Jerry loved his family. On Feb.
23, Jerry and wife Ruth (Straub)
celebrated their 34th wedding
anniversary. Three sons, a step-
daughter and their spouses sur-
vive, Christian and Tammy of
West Pittston; Jason and Tam-
many of Mt. Tremper, N.Y.; Re-
becca (Parlier) and Mark Cox of
Sunbury, and Joshua. Grandchil-
dren include Elijah, Jesse, Kyra,
Harmony and Hazel. Jerry is also
survived by sister, Judy Hayes;
half-sister, Patty Cornwell, and
half-brother, Donnie Manies, all
of Charlotte, N.C.
His last note has been played,
the last brushstroke dried. But,
the music and beauty Jerry
brought to so many lives will
swell and swing.
Family and friends will be
received at the Howell-Lussi Fu-
neral Home, 509 Wyoming Ave.,
West Pittston, on Wednesday
from 5 to 8 p.m. The service will
be Thursday at 11 a.m. In lieu of
owers, donations can be made to
the Wyoming Area Music Spon-
sors Jerry Haynes Memorial Fund
or the Medical Oncology Associ-
ates Prescription Fund in Jerrys
memory.

police blotter
WILKES-BARRE City po-
lice arrested Melvin Hall, 37, on
charges he sexually assaulted a
teen girl from May through Sep-
tember.
Hall was arraigned Monday
morning by District Judge Rick
Cronauer in Wilkes-Barre on
charges of aggravated indecent
assault, sexual assault, corrup-
tion of minors, involuntary devi-
ate sexual intercourse, statutory
sexual assault and child endan-
germent. He was jailed at the
Luzerne County Correctional
Facility for lack of $75,000 bail.
Police allege Hall sexually as-
saulted a 15-year-old girl inside
his residence on Dana Street.
The girl said Hall told her he
wanted to show her what to ex-
pect from boys and threatened
to harm her family if she told
anyone, according to the crimi-
nal complaint.
A preliminary hearing is
scheduled on March 19.
DURYEA Police arrested
two men Saturday in the theft of
metal from a house abandoned
since the September 2011 ood.
David Callahan, 34, of
Pittston, and Eric Burgerhoff,
23, both of Pittston, were each
charged with burglary, criminal
conspiracy to commit burglary,
criminal trespass and theft.
They were arraigned by District
Judge Joseph Carmody in West
Pittston.
Callahan was released on
$10,000 unsecured bail, and
Burgerhoff was jailed at the Lu-
zerne County Correctional Facil-
ity for lack of $10,000 bail and
on a parole violation.
Court records say Burgerhoff

titution for a robbery case in
Lackawanna County.
Police said they investigated
two men in a red pickup truck at
a residence in the 100 block of
Main Street at about 3:10 p.m.
Saturday.
Metal pipes were found on the
back porch and the rear door
appeared to have been forced
open, police said.
Callahan and Burgerhoff told
police another man at a junk-
yard told them to take the pipes.
The homeowner said the house
was secured and no one was per-
mitted inside, police said.
UGi pulls plan for gas
facility in West Wyoming
WEST WYOMING Pack-
ing the town hall Monday, resi-
dents cheered after learning
that UGI Energy Services gave
up its ght to build a compres-
sor station in the borough.
Council President Eileen
Cipriani read an email she re-
ceived from Peter Terranova,
vice president of Midstream
Services/UGI Energy Services
Inc., informing her of the deci-
sion.
The email read: This is to
inform you that UGI Energy
Services will make the appro-
priate legal ling to terminate
our effort to overturn the de-
nial of zoning authority to con-
struct a natural gas compressor
station in West Wyoming Bor-
ough. We do not have plans to
construct a compressor station
in West Wyoming Borough.
Members of the Luzerne
County Citizens for Clean
Air urged council to consider
adopting a Bill of Rights to pro-
tect the borough from future
risks to the environment. The
group requested that council
allow a representative from the
Community Environmental
Defense Fund (CEDF) to give
a 30-minute presentation on it.
Initially, council said Linnell
Lukesh, the boroughs solici-
tor, would have to research the
company and its proposal be-
fore consenting to the presen-
tation. After hearing the pleas
from the audience, however,
council agreed that a special
public meeting should be held,
but in a larger venue, such as
a re hall, and include ofcials
and residents from surround-
ing municipalities.
WbA board questions Hawkeye pact
WILKES-BARRE - Wilkes-
Barre Area School Board ta-
bled a $90,000 contract with
a company that has ties to
a current and former board
member, awarded a $215,304
contract to repair a synthetic
running track the board con-
tends should be under war-
ranty, and agreed to give
$2,500 in seed money to
a non-prot foundation the
board hopes can rake in many
times that in contributions for
academic programs.
Mondays monthly meeting
took place without the disem-
bodied participation of Board
Member Robert Corcoran,
who sparked arguments last
month when he insisted on
voting on agenda items via a
Skype computer connection
despite having moved to Ger-
many and given up any physi-
cal residence in the district.
Board President John
Quinn said Corcoran refuses
to resign but will not partici-
pate in any more meetings. If
Corcoran misses two consecu-
tive meetings the board can
legally remove him and seek a
replacement.
Quinn said the board will
do that as soon as possible if
Corcoran does not participate
in the April meeting.
During a work session pre-
ceding the regular meeting,
Board Member Christine Kat-
sock questioned why approval
of a contract with Hawkeye
Security Solutions was on the
agenda under contracted ser-
vices.
She asked contracted ser-
vices committee chairman
James Susek and committee
member Louis Elmy if they
knew anything about it and
both said no. Corcoran is the
third committee member.
Hawkeye is a non-prot cor-
poration formed in 2008 by
Wilkes-Barre city to oversee
the creation and maintenance
of its citywide camera secu-
rity system with a $2 million
grant.
Katsock noted School
Board Member Phil Latinski
had sat on Hawkeyes board of
directors. She didnt mention
it, but former school board
member James Fisher also
sat on the Hawkeye board and
chaired it at one point.
Superintendent Bernard
Prevuznak said the contract
was an extension of servic-
es to have cameras outside
schools, with a possible addi-
tion of cameras inside schools
added later. Katsock coun-
tered that the districts last
payment to Hawkeye was in
July 2012, and that the com-
pany tried to bill the district
for several months after that
when no contract existed.
I do not see a reason for
this other than that we are a
cash cow for Hawkeye, Kat-
sock said. Latinski proposed
bringing someone from the
company in to answer ques-
tions, and the board tabled
the motion.
The board did vote on the
more expensive of two op-
tions for repairing the syn-
thetic track at Solomon/
Plains Memorial school. The
work will come with a ve-
year warranty, instead of a

said the board can still ght
to recoup costs from the com-
pany that originally installed

tends any apparent damage is
due to normal wear and tear,
he said.
And the board agreed to
give $2,5000 in reimbursable
seed money to the newly re-
formed Wilkes-Barre Educa-
tion Foundation after one of
the people who volunteered to
work on the foundation, Frank
Pasquini, gave the board a
quick overview of progress in
the last months and that the
group needed some money to
pay for further legal work and
training.
The foundation plans to so-
licit donations from business-
es and individuals. Pasquini
noted 225 district foundations
statewide have been raising
money primarily through the
states Education Improve-
ment Tax Credit program,
which provided tax credits
to donating businesses, with
many nabbing six gures in
a single year. Katsock, who
questioned plans for the foun-
dation to eventually use some
of the money raised to pay for
foundation staff, voted against
the seed money.

Five Democrats and seven or eight
Republicans are expected to le nomi-
nation petitions by todays deadline in
the race for ve Luzerne County Coun-
cil seats a number that falls below
the expectations of many.
In the race for county controller,
Stephen A. Urban led his nomination
petition in the election ofce Monday
afternoon to run for the Democratic
nomination on May 21. A county coun-
cilman and former
county commissioner
from Wilkes-Barre,
Urban likely will com-
pete against Michelle
Bednar, a Conyngham
Township tax collector
and nancial securities
company ofce manager.
Bednar and the two announced Re-
publican controller contenders in-
cumbent Controller Walter Grifth
and tax accountant Karen Ceppa-Hirko,
Wilkes-Barre must le nomination
petitions by 4:30 p.m. today to get on
the ballot.
Four Democratic council candidates
led their nomination petitions before
the election ofce closed Monday: Re-
nee Ciaruffoli-Taffera, Larksville; Eileen
Sorokas, Wilkes-Barre; Richard Kick
Heffron, Dallas and Michael Giamber,
Fairmount Township.
Incumbent Councilwoman Linda
McClosky Houck, Kingston, also an-
nounced she will run.
County Democratic Chairman Bob
Boyer said he does not expect more
than ve county council candidates,
which means all ve would be guaran-
teed to advance to the November gen-
eral.
Newport Township tax collector
Kenneth E. Angradi, a Democrat, said
he wants to run but an injury might
prevent him from obtaining the 250
signatures needed to get on the ballot.
Former county clerk of courts and com-
KINGSTON Lillian Le-
novitz Cahn, a graduate of
GAR High School and found-
er of Coach Leatherware Co.,
died March 4 in Manhattan.
She was 89.
She was the sister of Louis
Lenart, who is known as The
Hero of Tel Aviv. Lenart,
who lives in Israel, is an ex-
Marine and Israeli Air Force
ghter pilot who played a key
role in protecting Israel from
an attack
by Egypt in
1948.
L e n a r t
changed his
last name
from Leno-
vitz. He said
his sister was
be a ut i f ul
and a wonderful woman.
I talked to her a couple
of weeks ago, he said. She
built Coach up from nothing
to become an international
company.
Attorney Joseph Savitz of
Kingston was a classmate of
Lenarts and knew the entire
Lenovitz family.
They were a great fam-
ily, he said.
They had
their strug-
gles, but
they came
through it.
In a story
in August
2010 in The
Times Lead-
er, Lenart said his family was
poor. Savitz said the Lenarts
Rose and Benjamin
owned a small store on East
Market Street in the years af-
ter the Depression.
Mrs. Lenart made home-
made noodles, Savitz said in
the 2010 story. Lou and his
father would walk around and
sell them door to door.
According to the obitu-
ary printed in The New York
Times on Saturday, Cahn and
her husband, Miles, founded
Coach in a Manhattan loft
in 1961. The obituary states
Mrs. Cahn designed the rst
successful Coach bag a tote
modeled after a type of paper
bag she had used as a girl in
Wilkes-Barre that was used
to deliver her parents home-
made noodles to customers.
The bag became a classic for
the company.
The Cahns sold Coach to
Sara Lee Corp. in 1985 for a
reported $30 million, accord-
ing to The Times obituary.
Coach reported net sales of $4
billion in 2012.
On their 600-acre farm in
Pine Plains, N.Y., the Cahns
made goat cheese. They sold
the farm about ve years ago
and returned to live in Man-
hattan, according to the obitu-
ary.
From the New York Times
obituary:
Lillian Lenovitz was born
on Dec. 11, 1923, in the town
of Satorauljaujhely, Hungary,
one of four children of Benja-
min and Rose Lenovitz, who
eventually opened a candy
store, among other business-
es. Her father immigrated to
the United States in 1928 and
settled in Wilkes-Barre before

Suit alleges
abuse of
inmates
in the state
By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER
tmorgan@timesleader.com
Solitary connement for the
mentally ill worsens
symptoms, suit states.
SCRANTON A statewide
organization that represents
rights of the disabled has led a
federal lawsuit against the state
prison system, alleging mentally
ill prisoners
have been
wrongly sub-
jected to hor-
rid conditions
in solitary con-
nement that
have exacer-
bated their
symptoms.
The suit,
led Monday
bythe attorney
Robert Meek
of the Dis-
ability Rights
Network of
Pennsylvania,
claims the
state has provided woefully in-
adequate care for mentally ill in-
mates statewide, causing them
to act out in ways that result in
thembeing unduly placed in sol-
itary connement known as
restrictive housing units (RHU).
The suit details cases of 12 in-
mates but was led on behalf of
approximately 800 mentally ill
inmates the group alleges have
been subjected to unconstitu-
tional connement. It seeks to
force the state to provide better
mental-health treatment and to
develop a disciplinary system
that takes into account an in-
mates mental illness.
This is a vile and inhumane
way to treat people with mental
illness, Meek said in a press re-
lease. As one judge put it, soli-
tary connement for a person
with a mental illness is like an
airless room for an asthmatic.
Pennsylvania should give these
prisoners beds in units designed
to help people with mental ill-
ness, not devastate them.
Conditions in the RHUs are
horric, the suit states, with
inmates being conned to an
80-square-foot cell the size
of an average bathroom for
23 hours a day. The cells have
limited to no natural light and
no fresh air.
Those conditions cause the
inmates mental-health issues
to worsen, which leads to addi-
tional infractions and additional
stints in isolation. The suit notes
the case of one inmate who re-

McDermott and Clarke
emerged, telling police they
were arguing and items were
smashed.
Police obtained a search war-
rant signed by District Judge
Rick Cronauer in Wilkes-Barre
that led to the discovery of 3
pounds of marijuana, nitrous
oxide tanks, a large smoking
bong and about $6,000, accord-
ing to the inventory receipt.
Clarke had $1,567 on him
when he was arrested, police
said. He told police the mari-
juana belonged to him, while
McDermott said she owned the
marijuana, arrest records say.
Police allege in arrest records
that McDermott claimedClarke
sold marijuana to his friends.
Police said the house that
was used to package marijuana
is within a school zone.
A neighbor retrieving a news-
paper from her porch on Ran-
som Street Monday morning
said she was not surprised that
marijuana was found inside the
house.
There was always people
going into that house, the
neighbor said who requested
anonymity. Im not shocked
that they got arrested. We sus-
pected something was going on
over there.
McDermott and Clarke were
each charged with possession
with intent to deliver a con-
trolled substance, possession
of a controlled substance, con-
spiracy with intent to deliver a
controlled substance and pos-
session of drug paraphernalia.
Preliminary hearings are

tions that it exceeded the court-
imposed maximumsentence by
several years.
Applauded locally
Many of the inmates in the
12 cases cited attempted sui-
cide, with one inmate being
successful.
The ling of the suit was
applauded by Barry Dyller, a
civil-rights lawyer from Wilkes-
Barre who has led numerous
prison rights suits, including
one against the State Correc-
tional Institution at Dallas in
connection with the 2009 sui-
cide of Matthew Bullock.
Bullock, who had a long his-
tory of serious mental illness,
was found guilty of third-degree
murder but mentally ill for the
2003 strangulation death of his
girlfriend, Lisa Hargrave, and
the couples unborn child.
Dyller said Bullock had
been housed in the RHU for
prolonged periods and was
subjected to repeated harass-
ment by guards, who allegedly
encouraged him to kill himself.
He hung himself in his cell on
Aug. 24, 2009.
That case, led in federal
court, was settled in 2011.
Anyone who does civil
rights work knows about the
horrendous conditions condi-
tions that are more horrendous
than can be imagined, Dyller
said. Im absolutely thrilled to
see this lawsuit.
The 12 cases cited in the
Disability Rights Network suit
involve inmates who were in-
carcerated at the State Correc-
tional Institutions in Cresson,
Green, Smitheld, Graterford
and Muncy. Cresson, Smitheld
and Greene were each home to
three inmates; Muncy had two
inmates and Graterford one.
The suit does not identify
the inmates, their home towns
or the county from which they
were committed. Bullocks case
is not among those cited, Meek
conrmed.
Dallas Township resident Eu-
gene Kelleher has announced
his candidacy for Luzerne
County Council.
A Republican and incumbent
council member, Kelleher said
he believes the new home-rule
government has made great
strides.
Kelleher cited several ex-
amples: all candidates for au-
thority, board and commission
seats were publicly interviewed
to select the most qualied and
eliminate nepotism and cro-
nyism; all budget discussions
were conducted at public meet-
ings; and citizen input at public
meetings is encouraged.
County codes and policies
must be revised, and Kelleher
said he wants citizens to sub-
mit suggested revisions to the
council clerk.
Kelleher said he is seeking a
nal term, in part, because he
wants to ensure the county con-
tinues its transparent budget
process that produces balanced
budgets and aims to reduce
the countys debt.
County Council cannot inter-
fere with the county managers
ability to effectively consoli-
date parts of county govern-
ment into a cohesive and ef-
cient operation, he said.
The county taxpayers must
have a government that encour-
ages cooperation and commu-
nication between the county
manager and the County Coun-
cil, Kelleher said.
Kelleher served on Plymouth
Borough Council in 1980 and
has served as a Little League
coach, church choir director
and high school coach. He
started an ecumenical group
in the Back Mountain after he
retired seven years ago.
He has a bachelors degree in
math education and a masters
degree in math.
Kelleher worked as a high
school math teacher for 35
years and in the nancial-ser-
vices sector for eight years.
He and his wife, Deborah
Anne, have three children and
grandparents as well.

SUGARLOAF Luke Bernstein,
Gov. Tom Corbetts deputy chief of
staff, said Monday his boss has made
tough scal decisions in his rst two
years and the governors proposed
2013-14 budget continues that path to
scal responsibility.
Its the right thing to do, Bernstein
told about 60 people at the Greater
Hazleton Chamber of Commerce Red
Carpet Luncheon at Valley Country
Club. We have to get to a brighter, bet-
ter Pennsylvania.
With his parents, siblings and friends
in the audience Bernstein grew
up in Conyngham he talked about
mountains and valleys and the risks
that must be taken to secure a better
future for coming generations.
Problem solving isnt that what
elected ofcials are supposed to do?
he asked.
Bernstein said the scal health of the
United States is not good. He cited the
national debt at $17 trillion, a system
of crumbling roads, bridges and infra-
structure and a federal government
that was at the edge of the scal cliff
and would permit automatic budget
cuts to men and women in uniform
rather than tackle wasteful spending.
This type of system limits the pos-
sibility of our children and future gen-
erations to get to the other side of the
mountain, Bernstein said. We cannot
let that happen.
Bernstein told the crowd that the na-
tional debt grows at $10 million a min-
ute, that too many around the country
remain out of work.
Citizens are losing faith, and the
most common words to describe Wash-
ington are broken or dysfunctional,
he said.
Bernstein said the Corbett adminis-
tration has:
Created 117,000 new private-sec-
tor jobs 3,200 in Luzerne County.
For the frst time in more than a
decade passed two consecutive bal-
anced budgets on time and without
raising taxes.
Eliminated a $4.2 billion structural
decit.
Bernstein said there is still more
work to be done. He said the governor
has proposed a bold agenda and bud-
get for the coming scal year that will
address four key areas: pension reform,
privatizing the liquor system, educa-
tion and transportation.
He said the states pension debt ob-
ligation is $41 billion and if that came
due today, the average state family
making $51,000 per year would have to
pay $8,000 each in additional taxes to
pay it off.
If nothing is done, Bernstein said,
the commonwealths unfunded liability
will grow to $65 billion resulting in
thousands more in taxes or drastic re-
ductions in spending.
In addition to potential taxes, that
total will swallow up money for educa-
tion, corrections, safety net programs
and economic development, he said.
Bernstein also discussed the gover-
nors plan to privatize the states liquor
system.
In Pennsylvania you cant buy a case
of beer at a bar and you cant buy a six-
pack from a distributor, he said. And
you cant buy wine or liquor to go at a
bar or a distributor and you cant buy
any of the three at a grocery store.
He called the current system ridicu-
lous.
The governors privatization plan is
projected to generate about $1 billion
in additional revenue for the common-
wealth over the next four years and
the proceeds from the sale of the state
stores, he said.
Nothing raises a cry more than
then changing the way things have
been done for decades, but it is a new
day that requires our leaders to think
prospectively, he said. We cant look
at new things in old ways and expect
them to become real.
We cant keep old systems the
LCB, a broken tax code, an aged infra-
structure, or a fear of change and
expect to thrive in a new century, he
said. The journey takes time.

sending for the rest of the family
in 1933 to join him there. Lillian
was valedictorian of her high
school class.
Besides her husband, she is
survived by daughters, Julie and
Susan; son, David; sister, Judy
Miller; brother, Louis Lenart;
and ve grandchildren.
In the obituary, her husband
said his wife had taught him
most of what he knew about the
dual roles of fashion and func-
tion in womens handbags. It
was she, he said, who explained
the logic of pockets and helped
to pick colors and decide where
zippers should and should not
go.
The obituary said mens leath-
er wallets and billfolds were the
companys original line of busi-
ness.
At Mrs. Cahns suggestion,
her husband began producing a
line of womens handbags in the
early 1960s at their small West
34th Street factory, working
with a thicker yet exible kind
of cowhide often used in making
baseball gloves, it reads.
Mr. Cahn went on to create the
dozen other handbag designs
that became the rst generation
of the Coach line. Mrs. Cahn be-
came the companys showroom
impresario and media agent, ac-
cording to the obituary.
missioner Tom Pizano also was
named by many as a contender,
but Pizano said Monday he is
still undecided and has not
collected his own signatures.
On the Republican side, in-
cumbent Councilman Harry
Haas, Kingston, and Hazleton
resident Kathy Dobash were the
only candidates who led nomi-
nation petitions by the close of
business Monday.
Republican Paul DeFabo, Wil-
kes-Barre, a Realtor at Classic
Properties, conrmed Monday
he will run for county council.
Four other Republicans have
announced their candidacy for
council: incumbent Council-
man Eugene Kelleher, Dallas
Township; Joyce Dombroski-
Gebhardt, Kingston; Sue Rossi,
Butler Township; and Alex Mil-
anes, Wilkes-Barre Township.
County Republican Party
Chairman Bill Urbanski said he
also was told Dallas resident
Michael Lacey also might run
for a party nomination. Lacey,
who unsuccessfully ran for
council in 2011, has a county
council campaign announce-
ment online but could not be
reached for comment Monday.
Independent and third-party
candidates may enter the race
after the May primary if they
collect at least 633 signatures
to get on the November ballot.
Incumbent Councilman Rick
Williams, an Independent, said
he is considering seeking an-
other term.
Boyer said he is surprised
more citizens are not running
for council. When the initial 11
council seats were on the bal-
lot in the May 2011 primary,
49 Democrats and Republicans
competed for nominations.
He partially blames a home
rule charter restriction that says
county council members cant
be employed or compensated
by any person or business that
has a contract with the county
or any county authority, board
or commission.
Boyer said he knows viable
prospective candidates who
cant run because their employ-
ers sell products or services to
county government. He does
not believe the ban is neces-
sary because council members
must abstain from voting when
theres a conict.
I think the charter went over-
board with that restriction. You
have a lot of good people with
values and integrity beyond re-
proach who are excluded from
running, he said.
He also believes some citi-
zens are still reluctant to get
involved in county government
because of the past corruption
scandal. Lengthy evening coun-
cil meeting also are a deterrent,
he said.
Who wants to work an eight-
hour job and then sit through
a council meeting thats ve
hours?
County Councilman Rick
Morelli, a home rule charter
drafter, said the home rule gov-
ernment has been relatively
quiet.
Usually more people tend to
run for ofce when things are
not going well, Morelli said.
He also believes some people
who would be interested now
realize council members are not
actively involved in most hir-
ing or contract awards because
the appointed manager handles
day-to-day operating decisions.
Some people want to run
where they will have more con-
trol, he said.
Morelli said he also spoke
with one potential contender
who was daunted by the time
and travel required to cam-
paign countywide. He believes
a switch to district council seats
is a charter amendment worth
exploring in the future.
Williams said citizens must
view council seats as commu-
nity service because extensive
discussion and debate will con-
tinue to be necessary establish-
ing home rule.
The reality of really imple-
menting a charter is it takes a lot
of work and a lot of time. That
may be off-putting to some,
Williams said, urging other In-
dependents and third-party vot-
ers to consider running.
Urbanski said hes very glad
Republicans have a full slate of
council contenders.
Kingston Mayor Jim Hagger-
ty, a home rule charter drafter,
described the roster of at least
12 candidates plus Independent
and third-party competitors as
a signicant number of peo-
ple. Council members are paid
$8,000 per year, compared to
past row ofcer or commission-
er seats that provided salaries
and health care benets.
Im delighted with the level
of interest, he said.
Comparisons to the rst
council primary in 2011 arent
fair, he said, because the vote to
ll 11 initial council seats was
a one-time occurrence he calls
the high-water mark.
I think now that the govern-
ment and professional manager
are in place, the urgency that
was there in 2011 to run is not
there in 2013, Haggerty said.
Haggerty doesnt support
eliminating the council ban on
employment with a county con-
tractor, saying voters adopted
home rule because they wanted
such protections. He also op-
poses council elections by dis-
trict.
District elections will lead
to entrenchment of incumbents
like we have had in state legisla-
tive races. Forcing everyone to
run countywide prevents that to
a large degree, Haggerty said.
WARREN, Ohio Inves-
tigators spent Monday trying
to piece together why eight
teenagers were crammed
into a speeding SUV with-
out the owners permission
when it ipped over into a
pond, killing six of them.
Authorities gave no de-
tails on where the group of
friends had been and why
they were out around day-
break Sunday. But the father
of one of the dead said they
were coming home from a
sleepover at a friends house.
No one in the group had
asked to take the vehicle,
and its owner was not relat-
ed to any of the teens, said
State Highway Patrol Lt. Bri-
an Holt. It was registered to
someone from Youngstown,
about 20 miles away.
Thats all we know right
now, Holt said.
State police said the SUV
hit a guardrail on a two-lane
road in an industrial section
of town and landed upside
down in about 5 feet of wa-
ter, lling up in a matter of
minutes, Holt said. Five boys
and a young woman, ages 14
to 19, were killed.
Two boys smashed a rear
window, wriggled out of the
wreckage and swam away,
then ran a quarter-mile to a
home to call 911, authorities
said. Brian Henry, 18, and
Asher Lewis, 15, suffered
only minor injuries.
Investigators said they
believe excessive speed was
a key factor in the crash,
which took place in a 35
mph zone, but they did not
say howfast the SUV was go-
ing. They were also awaiting
the results of drug and alco-
hol tests.
All eight teenagers were
from Warren, a mostly blue-
collar city of 41,000 near the
Pennsylvania line, about 60
miles east of Cleveland.
VATICAN CITY On the
eve of their conclave to select
a new pope, cardinals held
their nal debate Monday
over whether the Catholic
Church needs a manager to
clean up the Vatican or a pas-
tor to inspire the faithful at a
time of crisis.
The countdown under way,
speculation has gone into
overdrive about whos ahead
in the papal campaign.
Will cardinals choose Car-
dinal Angelo Scola, the arch-
bishop of Milan, an Italian
with serious intellectual and
managerial chops who hasnt
been tainted by the scandals
of the Vatican bureaucracy?
Or has Cardinal Sean
OMalley, the Capuchin
monk from Boston who has
charmed the Italian media
worked the same magic on fel-
low cardinals?
Most cardinals already
knewCanadian Cardinal Marc
Ouellet since he heads a pow-
erful Vatican ofce. But may-
be over the past week theyve
gotten a chance to hear him
sing he has a fabulous
voice and is known for belting
out French folk songs.
Whoever it is, there were
strong indications that plenty
of questions remained about
the state of the church and the
best man to lead it heading
into Tuesdays conclave: Not
all the cardinals who wanted
to speak were able to Monday,
and the cardinals were forced
to take a vote about continu-
ing the discussion into the af-
ternoon.
In the end, a majority of
cardinals chose to cut short
the formal discussion, and the
cardinals who did speak short-
ened their comments, accord-
ing to the Vatican spokesman
the Rev. Federico Lombardi.
This is a great historical
moment but we have got to do
it properly, and I think thats
why there isnt a real rush to
get into things, Cardinal Wil-
frid Fox Napier fromSouth Af-
rica said as he left the session.
Cardinal Javier Luis Err-
zuriz of Chile was more blunt,
saying that while Cardinal
Joseph Ratzinger had tremen-
dous support going into the
2005 conclave that elected
him Benedict XVI after just
four ballots, the same cant be
said for any of the candidates
in this election.
This time around, there
are many different candidates,
so its normal that its going
to take longer than the last
time, he told The Associated
Press.
One of the main presen-
tations Monday came from
Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, the
Vatican No. 2 who heads the
commission of cardinals over-
seeing the scandal-marred
Vatican bank. He outlined the
banks activities and the Holy
Sees efforts to clean up its
reputation in international -
nancial circles, Lombardi said.
The Holy Sees nances,
and particularly the work of
the Vatican bank have been
under the spotlight during
these pre-conclave meetings
as cardinals seek to investi-
gate allegations of corruption
in the Vatican administration
and get to the bottom of the
banks long history of scandal
and secrecy.

With no clear favorites or

N. Korea
cancels
1953
armistice
SEOUL, South Korea A
state-run newspaper in North
Korea said Monday the com-
munist country had carried out
a threat to cancel the 1953 armi-
stice that ended the Korean War,
after days of increased tensions
over its latest nuclear test.
A U.N. spokesman said later in
the day, however, that North Ko-
rea cannot unilaterally dissolve
the armistice.
North Korea also followed
through on another promise: It
shut down a Red Cross hotline
that the North and South Korea
used for general communication
and to discuss aid shipments and
separated families reunions.
Enraged over the Souths cur-
rent joint military drills with the
United States and last weeks
U.N. sanctions imposed on
Pyongyang for its Feb. 12 nucle-
ar test, North Korea has piled
threat on top of threat, including
a vow to launch a nuclear strike
on the U.S.
Seoul has responded with
tough talk of its own and has
placed its troops on high alert.
Tensions on the divided penin-
sula have reached their highest
level since North Korea rained
artillery shells on a South Ko-
rean island in 2010.
The North Korean govern-
ment made no formal announce-
ment on its repeated threats to
scrap the 60-year-old armistice,
but the countrys main newspa-
per, Rodong Sinmun, reported
that the armistice was nullied
Monday as Pyongyang had said
it would.
The North has threatened
to nullify the armistice several
times before, and in 1996 it sent
hundreds of armed troops into a
border village. The troops later
withdrew.
Despite the North Korean re-
port, U.N. spokesman Martin
Nesirky said the armistice is still
valid and still in force because
the armistice agreement had
been adopted by the U.N. Gen-
eral Assembly and neither North
Korea nor South Korea could dis-
solve it unilaterally.
The terms of the armistice
agreement do not allow either
side unilaterally to free them-
selves from it, said Nesirky.
A U.N. spokesman says north
cannot unilaterally dissolve
1953 deal that ended war.
MAIDAN SHAHR, Afghanistan
An Afghan policeman gunned down
two U.S. special forces on Monday in
Wardak province, less than 24 hours
after President Hamid Karzais dead-
line expired for them to leave the area
where residents have grown increasing-
ly hostile toward the Americans.
Despite Karzais orders, the Ameri-
can special operations forces remain
in the province where dozens of vil-
lagers accuse them and their Afghan
partners of intimidation through un-
provoked beatings, mass arrests and
forced detentions. The shootout, which
also killed two Afghan policemen, only
deepens the distrust.
The U.S.-led coalition in Afghanistan
says it has found no evidence to sup-
port the claims of abuse. But infuriated
by the villagers allegations, Karzai two
weeks ago ordered U.S. special opera-
tions forces to withdraw by midnight
Sunday from Wardak province, 45 kilo-
meters (27 miles) south of the capital,
Kabul.
Most international forces are sched-
uled to withdraw from Afghanistan by
the end of 2014. Wardak, like the rest
of the country, is slated to be eventu-
ally handed over to Afghan forces, but
U.S. Gen. Joseph Dunford, the top com-
mander of U.S. and coalition forces in
Afghanistan, indicated on Sunday that
the troops were not leaving Wardak
province just yet.
The only issue is the timeline and
the methodology, and were still work-
ing on that, Dunford said.
Wardak has a stubborn insurgency
on the doorstep of the capital Kabul
and its location has led some U.S. mili-
tary ofcials to warn that a premature
withdrawal of U.S. special operations
forces would open a six-lane highway
into Kabul for the Taliban. But Afghan
security forces disagree, saying they
dont think insurgents can capture the
provincial capital.
On Monday, an Afghan policeman
stood up in the back of a pickup truck,
grabbed a machine gun and started r-
ing at U.S. special forces and other Af-
ghan policemen at a police compound
in Wardaks Jalrez district, about 20
kilometers (12 miles) east of Maidan
Shahr, said the provinces Deputy Po-
lice Chief Abdul Razaq Koraishi.
Two U.S. special operations forces
and two Afghan policemen were killed
and four others were wounded in
the gunght before the assailant was
gunned down, Koraishi said.
A U.S. defense ofcial in Washington
and a coalition ofcial in Afghanistan
said 10 Americans both special oper-
ators and regular soldiers who worked
in a combined team and at least 12
Afghans were wounded in the attack.
The ofcial spoke on condition of ano-
nymity because he was not authorized
to discuss details of the attack with re-
porters.

NEW YORK
Sugary-drink rule blocked
Ajudge struck down NewYork Citys
ban on big sugary drinks Monday just
hours before it was supposed to take ef-
fect, ruling that the rst-in-the-nation
measure arbitrarily applies to only
some sweet beverages and some places
that sell them.
The loopholes in this rule effec-
tively defeat the stated purpose of this
rule, state Supreme Court Justice Mil-
ton Tingling wrote in a defeat for May-
or Michael Bloomberg and a victory for
the beverage industry and others who
challenged the 16-ounce limit on sodas
and other high-calorie drinks.
Further, the city Board of Health
intruded on City Councils authority
in approving the size limit, the judge
said. The restriction was supposed to
start today.
The city said it will appeal the ruling
as soon as possible.
WASHINGTON
Obama priorities slashed
Senate Democrats are preparing a
catchall government funding bill that
denies President Barack Obama money
for implementing signature rst-term
accomplishments like new regulations
on Wall Street and his expansion of
government health care subsidies but
gives Democrats modest additional
funding for domestic priorities like
health research.
The measure is the product of bipar-
tisan negotiations and is the legislative
vehicle to fund the day-to-day opera-
tions of government through Sept. 30
and prevent a government shut-
down when current funding runs out
March 27.
Passage in the Senate this week
would presage an end to a mostly
overlooked battle between House Re-
publicans and Obama over the annual
spending bills required to fund federal
agencies.
The bipartisan measure comes as
Washington separately girds for weeks
of warfare over the longer-termbudget.
DETROIT
Ex-mayor is convicted
Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kil-
patrick was convicted Monday of cor-
ruption charges and then sent to jail
to await his prison sentence in yet an-
other dramatic setback for a man who
once was among the nations youngest
big-city leaders.
Jurors convicted Kilpatrick of a raft
of crimes, including racketeering con-
spiracy, which carries a maximum
punishment of 20 years behind bars.
He was portrayed during a ve-month
trial as an unscrupulous politician who
took bribes, rigged contracts and lived
far beyond his means while in ofce
until fall 2008.
Prosecutors said Kilpatrick ran a
private prot machine out of De-
troits City Hall. The government pre-
sented evidence to show he got a share
of the spoils after ensuring that Bobby
Fergusons excavating company was
awarded millions in work from the wa-
ter department.

I
ts good to be the king.
Or the governor.
Gov. Tom Corbett or,
in some instances, his wife,
Susan has received free Steel-
ers playoff tickets, private jet
travel, seats at what the Phila-
delphia Daily News described
as a swank gala for the Phila-
delphia Orchestra, a vacation
aboard a businessmans yacht
in Rhode Island and other gifts
from business interests and lob-
byists.
An insurance executive the
head of a company regulated by
the state even contributed
cash to help pay for the rst
ladys inaugural gown.
Another gift uncovered
when the Daily News exam-
ined state nancial disclosure
records was a pair of tickets
to the NHLs Winter Classic at
Pittsburghs Heinz Field on New
Years Day 2011.
The tickets tough to get
were valued at $472, and the
gift came from lobbyist Robert
Kennedy, vice president of gov-
ernmental affairs at the Univer-
sity of Pittsburgh Medical Cen-
ter, Pittsburghs largest hospital
chain.
So?
Well, 10 months later Gov.
Corbett intervened in what the
Daily News described as a cost-
ly, high prole dispute between
(UPMC) and that regions top
insurer, Highmark.
That is awfully curious behav-
ior for a politician who swept
into ofce as a prosecutor of po-
litical corruption.
The Daily News found that
the governor and his wife ac-
cepted $11,343 in gifts from
business executives, lobby-
ists or lobbying rms in 2010
when the former attorney
general mounted his successful
campaign for governor and in
2011, his rst year in ofce.
Some of the examples the
Daily News found:
A fight to Pittsburgh on
a private jet owned by Frank
Schoeneman, chief executive
of the Pottsville-based Empire
Education Group, a leading
chain of beauty schools, valued
at nearly $1,407, the price of
a rst-class airline ticket. Ten
months after that trip, the gov-
ernor signed a bill into law that
makes it easier for students at
schools such as Empire to ob-
tain a state license.
A pair of $2,500 tickets to
attend the Philadelphia Acad-
emy of Music anniversary con-
cert in 2010 and a ticket to the
Phillies home opener that year,
paid for by the Blank Rome law
rm. That year, lobbyists with
Blank Rome, which represent
a number of powerful interests
in Harrisburg, was becoming
more involved in lobbying for
natural-gas drillers frackers.
The rmis listed as an associate
member of the Marcellus Shale
Coalition. The governor, if you
recall, has been a supporter of
fracking.
A trip to Rhode Island to
spend the Fourth of July week-
end in 2011 on a yacht owned by
business executive John Moran,
whose company, Moran Indus-
tries, was running a fracking-
well-waste-recycling business
in Sunbury. The company was
under scrutiny by the state De-
partment of Environmental Pro-
tection. Moran, according to the
Daily News, paid $1,422 for the
Corbetts to fy to Rhode Island.
The governors deputy press
secretary, Kelli Roberts, told the
Daily News that there was noth-
ing wrong with the governors
acceptance of these gifts.
Gov. Corbett has been clear
that he makes all decisions
based on what is in the best in-
terests of Pennsylvanians, Ms.
Roberts said. He has always
fully complied with both the let-
ter and the spirit of our states
nancial-reporting laws. His
campaign-nance report and
his state ethics reports are both
public documents, placed on a
state website for all to see. The
governors actions have always
been, and will continue to be,
transparent and free of any con-
fict of interest.
Transparency? Sure. The -
nancial disclosure reports are
public documents.
Maybe its just us, but accept-
ing gifts from lobbyists for inter-
ests that have business before
the state and could benet
from having a friend in the gov-
ernors ofce give at least the
appearance of a confict. The
Daily News reported that the
governors critics including
representatives of the good gov-
ernment group Common Cause
Pennsylvania contend Gov.
Corbetts actions might have
violated the Code of Conduct
for the executive branch. Under
the code, no ofcial may solicit
or accept for the personal use of
himself or another, a gift, gratu-
ity, favor, entertainment, loan or
other thing of monetary value
from anyone seeking business
from, or regulated by, the com-
monwealth.
The maximum punishment
for violating the code?
Termination.
And since you have better
odds of hitting the Powerball
than expecting the Republican-
controlled Legislature to do
anything about this, well, dont
expect the governor to be red
anytime soon.
That decision will be up to his
employers the voters.

gets gobs of gifts
MALLARD FiLLMORE DOOnESBURY
qUOTE OF THE DAY
Im welcoming (him) with open arms. I think the
president is tremendously sincere. I dont think this
is just a political change in tactic. I think he would
actually like to solve the problems of this country.
Sen. Tom Coburn
In a statement as Republican lawmakers say they welcome President Barack
Obamas courtship and suggested the fresh engagement between the White
House and Congress might help yield solutions to the stubborn budget battle
that puts Americans jobs at risk.
Yes, I live (and play) with a chip on my shoulder
MY ENTIRE life has been dened by the
words youll never make it. So hard
work isnt new to me. Some people play
football with a chip on their shoulder -- I
live life that way because I have to.
My hometown of Scranton, Pennsyl-
vania, made me this way. At the turn of
the last century, Scranton was among the
fastest growing cities in the United States.
But after World War II, Scranton began
a decades-long struggle as the times and
our economy changed around us.
Thats why, in 1989, I was born into
a culture dened by a never-say-die
work ethic, a stubborn determination to
succeed against huge odds, and yes, an
attitude. We have to live life with a chip
on our shoulders, because anything less
guarantees failure.
So after a successful high school career,
when no colleges came calling with
scholarship offers, I took that Scranton
determination to Penn State as a walk-on.
No big deal, I had already been ghting
against the odds my whole life. Coach
Paterno didnt mind; he wanted ghters.
He handed me nothing, but expected
everything. He made me work, scratch
and claw for anything I ever achieved.
He was a great man. And every year it
seemed there was some new, bigger, taller
quarterback brought in to take what I had
fought to earn. So I just worked harder.
No big deal, Scranton already taught me
how to do that.
My parents own a small business -- a
fower shop in Scranton. Life isnt easy
for them, either. I watched how they dealt
with challenges, and every time the world
set them back they just worked a little
harder. In struggle, failure and setback, I
learned strength, honor and determina-
tion. Just like everyone else in my town.
When the world crashed down on
Penn State in an ugly, horrifying cloud,
the world around our team seemed to
panic. Penn State football will never be
the same is what everyone outside our
locker room said. No way. Not as long as I
was wearing the blue and white uniform.
Coach OBrien told us that we were no-
bodys charity case, and he was right. We
proved the world wrong and we did it by
being honorable, hard-working, stubborn
as hell, and above all we chose to live up
to everything that was great about Coach
Paternos legacy. As a team, we ran away
from nothing. We played the game right,
and we played better and harder than
most people thought we could.
Penn State rose above it all. Not just our
football program, our entire community.
From the janitors and cafeteria workers
who worked hard to support us each and
every day, to my classmates, our profes-
sors and an alumni who supported us
through thick and thin. We came together
and we rose up, when so many people out
there thought we would break apart and
fall down. In success I saw a little bit of
Scranton, PA, in our Penn State family.
My teammates and our coaches helped
me to lead our conference and set a num-
ber of quarterback records for the Penn
State program. That Scranton chip on my
shoulder drove me to succeed where most
thought Id fail -- 6,000+ passing yards, 46
touchdowns, a passer rating of more than
130. I did that as a walk-on, with constant
threat from all those recruits brought in
to take my job, and through a scandal that
threatened the soul of our program and
the identity of our school.
Apparently, none of this was good
enough to receive an invitation to the NFL
Combine, the most important show-
case before the Draft. The conventional
wisdom is that I dont have the measur-
ables. Well, Id argue that victories under
more pressure than any other program in
America is measurable enough to earn
a chance to prove what I can do. But Im
not blind to the fact that history hasnt
been kind to quarterbacks my size in the
NFL draft. Who cares, thats been true my
entire life.
As I said at the start, hard work isnt
new to me because youll never make
it is what Ive faced for as long as I can
remember. Same for my family, my home-
town and Penn State football last year.
To those saying to me now youll never
make it all I have to say is this: Watch
me. Youre damn right I live my life and
play football with a chip on my shoul-
der, because there is honor and worthy
achievement in proving wrong the myth
of impossibility.
The McGloin family, the Penn State
program, and my hometown of Scranton
prove this is true every single day. When I
put on an NFL uniform, it will be for them
and for everyone out there whos ever
been told youll never make it.
The author, Matt McGloin, is Penn States All-Time
leading quarterback. He is eligible for the NFL Draft
in April, 2013.
COMMENTARY
M A T T M C G L O I N
MAiL BAG | LETTERS FROM READERS
The real meaning behind
one letter to the editor
T
he letter headlined Consider choices
(Feb. 3) seems to be, rather than an
insincere play to a voter base, a sincere
statement to the public.
For example, Pregnancy is a very emo-
tional time in a womans life thus the
letters caption Consider choices before
an abortion is exactly on target at a
pivotal time in a family.
Another point in the letter that I agree
with is that God forgives an individual for
having had an abortion yes! but this
leaves out that God forgives not having
had an abortion that should have been
chosen e.g., that almost surely would
have led to higher quality relationships in
the immediate family maybe fowing
on to the next generation.

Boy Scouts should be
for God and country
O
bama is trying to make a Godless
nation. We the people of America
will not let this happen. It is about
time Christians stand up for what their
religious beliefs really mean. Christians
should be heard loud and clear against
gay leaders for their sins.
These gay groups can make their own
Scout groups for their own gay children.
Let Christians have their traditional his-
toric scout groups run by our churches.
Human rights and gay rights groups
caution BSA corporate donors that they
would lose points is an annual equality
index if they continued to support the
scouts as long as any units were allowed
to exclude gays. This is intimidation or
blackmail.
Religious denominations in our area
sponsor Scout units and we as Christians
follow our Bible and we love the sinner
but not the sin.
Join the ongoing campaign to food
BSA ofces with calls and e-mails. We
have a BSA ofce on Montage Mountain.
Also, call for resignation of BSA execu-
tive board member, Randall Stephenson,
CEO of AT&T, who said last year he
would try to move the scouts away from
ban on gays. It is our Christian duty to
protect children in our Christian nation.

Editorial
an assistant district attorney
and retired Luzerne County
judge take part in that proceed-
ing.
The project, which took
about a month to plan, was the
brainchild of Todd Grudzin-
ski, a sergeant with the Exeter
Township Police Department
who teaches criminal justice at
the school.
Grudzinski said initial plans
were for students to analyze a
mock crime scene. When other
disciplines within the school
heard about it, they wanted to
get their students involved as
well.
Its a great exercise. You
can only learn so much from a
book, Grudzinski said.
The victim, a mannequin
dressed in a light green dress,
was placed behind the Dump-
ster. Blood (actually it was a
mixture of corn syrup, red dye
and cocoa powder) covered her
arms and legs and was splat-
tered about several Dumpsters.
What do we have here?
Grudzinski yelled to his team
of investigators as they began
surveying the scene. We have
a murder, but what about the
way shes dressed? Whats not
right?
The students quickly noticed
the victims underpants were
pulled down over her one leg,
indicating she was the victim of
a sexual assault.
We think it started over
there, said student investi-
gator Alice Burton, pointing
to blood spatter on a second
Dumpster a few feet away. It
looks like she struggled to get
away and thats when he rst
stabbed her.
As Burton, 21, of Nanticoke,
analyzed the blood spatter, fel-
low investigator Sean Tate, 2o,
of Mountain Top, snapped pho-
tos and took measurements of
the bodys distance from the
Dumpster. Details like that
are important, Grudzinski ad-
vised, because once the body
is moved, that information is
gone.
Ensuring all potential evi-
dence no matter how inane
it may seem is also crucial,
Grudzinski told the students.
Anything at a crime scene
can be evidence. It can be
something as small as a ciga-
rette butt or a bloody knife,
Grudzinski said.
This scene had lots of things
for the students to collect. In
addition to the knife and cell
phone, they came across a rag
draped over a Dumpster and
a Styrofoam coffee cup from
Dunkin Donuts. Grudzinski
watched as they went about
their task, taking mental notes
of what they did right, and
wrong.
Im not going to give them
too much direction, Grudzin-
ski said. Well correct all the
mistakes later on.
Over the course of this week
the students will piece together
the evidence, including phone
numbers that were dialed on
the phone and a mock DNA
sample, and come up with a
suspect, who has been pre-
determined by the teachers in-
volved in the project.
Its quite a story line one
that Grudzinski could not re-
veal as it would tip off his crew
as to whats coming.
I wanted to keep it as real-
istic as possible because when
theyre out there, this is what
theyll get, he said.
The scene was so realistic
that passersby didnt immedi-
ately know it was staged.
Its fake! Sherry Castrine,
the schools student placement
director yelled to occupants
of car that slowly drove past
the group worked. I guess we
should have put of a sign
this is a fake crime scene.
The students loved the
chance to get the hands on
training.
In school the teacher talks
and you take a test. To actually
experience this, you remember
it even more, said lead investi-
gator Emily Myers, 20, of Bear
Creek.
The hands on experience is
great, added Kaylene Wert, 25,
of Wyoming. The mistakes we
are making, we want to make
them here versus a real crime
scene.
This is the rst time the
school has taken on a project
like this. The idea received a
great response from students
and faculty, said T.J. Eltring-
ham, the schools director.
Its been a long process but
I think the students really en-
joyed it, Eltringham said. To
get all the departments togeth-
er that dont usually interact,
and to get them to work togeth-
er to get something done, its a
great project.

Federal Support Services with
other skills. The second phase
of up to 216 personnel would
take place on April 15. The last
phase would take place April
30, when 107 contract workers
would be released.
The latest news comes after
the $309 million in lost fund-
ing brought on by the federal
governments sequestration,
the across-the-board mandatory
decreases to the federal budget.
The depot already announced it
would deal with the scale-back
by cutting back on travel and
other discretionary expenses,
offering the voluntary early
retirement and voluntary sepa-
ration incentive pay that 150
employees accepted March 1
and the furloughs of its 3,600
Department of the Army civil-
ian employees.
According to a release issued
by the depot Monday, the facil-
ity contracted over the past sev-
eral years to support increased
depot workload tied to military
operations in Iraq and Afghani-
stan. But as those operations
have ended or begun to wind
down, the increased workload
seen in recent years has begun
levelling off. The rise and fall
of workload is a key reason To-
byhanna has used contracted
workers.
The use of contract personnel
enables the depot to quickly ad-
just to uctuations in workload,
ensuring the depot operates ef-
ciently and productively. The
end of operations in Iraq and
the depots increased comple-
tion of equipment repairs in re-
cent years have contributed to
the decreased workload projec-
tions this year.
Among the impacts of se-
questration is no Army funding
for depot maintenance in the
third and fourth quarter (April
1-Sept. 30) of this scal year,
which accelerates the decline of
workload at Tobyhanna.
About 700 contract person-
nel, including 418 URS em-
ployees, work at Tobyhanna.
The depot also employs more
than 3,600 Department of the
Army civilian employees to
perform its worldwide mission
of maintaining communica-
tions-electronics systems for
the Armed Forces. No Army
civilian employees are affected
by this reduction. The Monroe
County installation has seen its
workforce drop below5,000 this
year, but it still remains the larg-
est employer in the region.
U.S. Rep. Matt Cartwright,
D-Moosic, previously issued
a statement on the sequestra-
tions impact on Tobyhanna,
which is in his district. He said
defense spending should be cut
but he didnt agree with this ac-
tion.
We can all agree that, as
we transition to a peace-time
military, spending will have to
decrease. However, the sever-
ity and the suddenness of these
cuts will impair our war ght-
ers ability to carry out their
missions, Cartwright said.

costs, including the $8.1 mil-
lion bill for the internal investi-
gation led by former FBI direc-
tor Louis Freeh.
Gelman, in the court lings,
listed the reporting delays by
the eight young men who testi-
ed against Sandusky. He said
only one of them reported al-
legations of abuse promptly,
while the others waited be-
tween four and 14 years.
Reversible error was com-
mitted when the trial court
refused the defense request to
give jury instructions on the
failure of the alleged victims
to make a prompt complaint
to authorities based on its view
of the research, which led the
court to believe that in the area
of child sexual abuse such an
instruction was not an accurate
indicia of honesty and may be
misleading, Gelman wrote.
The state Attorney Generals
Ofce, which prosecuted San-
dusky, offered no immediate
comment on the Sandusky
lings, one made to the trial
judge and the other to Superior
Court.
Attorney Jeff Anderson, who
represents two people with
claims related to Sandusky, said
the prompt-complaint issue was
unlikely to result in a new trial.
I think its a shallow and pre-
dictably made legal argument
that has to be made, but it will
effectively go nowhere, said
Anderson, whose clients are
not among the eight who testi-
ed at trial.
Gelman also said the trial
judge should have given San-
duskys attorneys more time to
prepare for trial.
Other grounds include a
prosecutors reference during
closing argument to Sandusky
giving a television interview
shortly after he was arrested.
Gelman said in an interview
on Monday that the message to
jurors was that Sandusky had
spoken about the allegations on
TV but not in court.
Thats a body blow, Gelman
said. You just dont do that.
His new lings also argued
the trial judge erred by allow-
ing hearsay testimony about a
shower attack witnessed by a
Penn State janitor.
AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER
A McCann criminal-justice student named Tonya dusts a beer can left at the mock murder scene
for ngerprints.
Williams, of Nanticoke, died of
multiple stab wounds inicted
by an inmate wielding a home-
made knife, federal authorities
have said. It remains unclear
when federal prosecutors will
charge Con-Ui.
Con-Ui was one of seven men
indicted in June 2003 in Arizo-
na for their roles in a drug ring
that distributed large quanti-
ties of cocaine, marijuana and
methamphetamine, court docu-
ments show. He pleaded guilty
on June 20, 2005, to conspiracy
to distribute cocaine and a re-
arms charge and was sentenced
to 11 years and three months in
prison.
Court documents detailing
Con-Uis role in the case were
not immediately available Mon-
day. But documents related to
one of his co-defendants, Gene
Lucero, say the drug ring was
connected to the New Mexican
Maa, which provided security
for members who were deliver-
ing drugs.
According to documents
led by federal prosecutors,
the gang was known to com-
mit crimes for as much prot as
they can to extend their reign
of power through intimidation
and acts of violence.
History shows that this or-
ganization is opportunistic and
more than willing to go to great
lengths to prot nancially and
extend their power, U.S. At-
torney Paul Charlton said in a
reply to objections Lucero had
led to a pre-sentence investi-
gation report.
According to the reply, gang
members had been observed
taking part in drug deals, talk-
ing about people they needed
to murder, including police of-
cers, extorting money and traf-
cking in stolen property.
The members of the New
Mexican Maa have shown a
propensity to do anything, in-
cluding commit murder, to fur-
ther their interests, Charlton
said.
The New Mexican Maa was
an outgrowth of the Mexican
Maa, a gang that was formed
around 1974 by a group of His-
panic inmates at the Arizona
state prison, according to infor-
mation on the Arizona Depart-
ment of Corrections website.
In 1978, the gang split into
two organizations, one known
as the Original Mexican Maa,
the second as the New Mexican
Maa. Many assaults and mur-
ders took place as a result of
both groups claiming the title
of Mexican Maa, according to
the department.

Petco at the mall, where two
witnesses told them a female
was pulled into a vehicle be-
lieved to be a silver Volkswa-

south on U.S. Route 11 towards
Larksville.
Witnesses reported that a
white male in his late 20s to
early 30s with short, curly
brown hair and a skinny build,
and wearing a gray tank top was
sitting in the vehicle and pulled
the female inside, police said.
The female was in her early
20s and was wearing a black
tank top. She was screaming,
let me go while she was being
pulled into the vehicle, witness-
es told police.
As the female struggled,
the male began to hit her and
pulled her in the vehicle. Once
she was inside, they drove off,
the witnesses told police.

BALTIMORE A teacher
has led a formal complaint
against University of Maryland
President Wallace Loh over the
manner in which the school
handled its move from the At-
lantic Coast Conference to the
Big Ten.
Ralph Jaffe said he led the
complaint with the Maryland
State Ethics Commission on
Monday. Jaffe contends that
Loh has not responded to his
request to call an open-forum
meeting by the Board of Re-
gents, which approved the
move to the Big Ten in a closed
session before Loh nalized
the deal on Nov. 20.
Ive gotten no feedback
from Dr. Loh. Hes showed no
STATE COLLEGE Shuttle runs.
Forty-yard dashes. Broad jumps.
After running through pro day Mon-
day at Penn State before about 20 NFL
scouts, defensive tackle Jordan Hill is
nally done with the kinds of drills
and agility tests required for most draft
prospects.
How many times have you ever
seen me jump in a game, Hill asked
rhetorically with a chuckle to reporters
after his workout.
Hill and linebacker Gerald Hodges
are probably the Nittany Lions two
best draft prospects. The seniors
helped guide a tough defense that
helped Penn State nish 8-4 in coach
Bill OBriens rst year.
For known commodities like Hill,
who was invited to NFLcombine, Mon-
day presented a chance to improve on
particular skills. Hill said he decreased
his 40-yard dash time to 4.97 seconds.
And he went 111 inches in the broad
jump, seven better than in Indianapolis
at the combine.
The difference? More rest, and less
stress than in hectic Indianapolis.
He doesnt mind the agility tests. Its
just that theres more pressure when
dozens of scouts, executives and media
are breaking down your every move.
And hes doing all of this, while also
nishing up his degree requirements.
When asked about the end of the
process, Hill said he was more re-
lieved than anything else. Just because
I get to do the stuff (now) that Ive
been doing my whole life.
Hill has been mentioned as a possi-
ble third- or fourth-round pick. Hodges
said hes hoping to go in the second or
third.
Hodges said his main goal on Mon-
day was to just come out here and be
a little more sharper on the drills I
just wanted to get out there and look a
little fresher coming into the day.
The athletic Hodges said he was
measured for a 35.1-inch vertical jump
on Monday. Hes had interviews, he
said, with Detroit, Oakland, Baltimore,
Minnesota and Tampa Bay, among oth-
er teams.
Hodges is hoping his ability to learn
the tweaked defensive system under
OBrien will help show NFL scouts he
can pick up new schemes quickly.
Imnot nervous any more. I feel that
all the pressure is off my shoulders,
Hodges said. Im waiting for the day
that I can suit up in an NFL uniform.
Hodges combined with fellowsenior
Michael Mauti to form one of the best
outside linebacker duos in the country.
But Mauti missed the emotional 24-21
win in the season nale over Wiscon-
sin after tearing the anterior cruciate
ligament in his left knee, the third in-
jury to a knee in his otherwise impres-
sive Penn State career.
Considered a second- or even late
rst-round pick at one point, the latest
PITTSBURGH Chris
Kunitz planted himself in the
crease, bent over, put his stick
on the ground and waited.
Even as a New York Islanders
defenseman leaned on the Pitts-
burgh Penguins forward trying
to nudge him away from goal-
tender Evgeni Nabokov, Kunitzs
skates appeared to be glued to
the ice.
When the pass came from
teammate James Neal moments
later, Kunitz a statue in the
middle of chaos casually
tapped it into the wide open net.
With an almost sheepish grin
the nine-year veteran lifted his
stick in celebration, as if to say,
Again? For real?
NEW YORK College basketball fans
with fond memories of the wild 2011 NCAA
tournament may have forgotten this fact: A
mostly tranquil regular season led up to it,
with the four top seeds combining for just
13 loses.
Back in 2007, by contrast, the No. 1 seeds
had 18 defeats among them. Then the tour-
nament started, and the familiar upsets of
March were almost nowhere to be found.
College basketball analyst Clark Kellogg
would love to be calling three weeks full of
stunners this year. But he knows its hardly
inevitable despite a season when the top-
ranked team never seemed safe.
Ive already told a number of people I
hope it plays out the way it did during the
regular season, but there are no guaran-
tees, Kellogg said Monday.
A chaotic season can turn into a tame
tournament for many reasons.
Matchups are always part of the mystery.
Some years, the top seeds nd themselves
up against a string of opponents they stack
up favorably against. Other seasons, they
run into a team in an early round whose
strengths seem perfectly targeted for what-
ever their weakness.
Kellogg sounded another note of caution
about why the regular season instability
may not be a predictor of true March Mad-
ness: Tournament games are on neutral
courts.

Jordan Reed of Florida loses the football as Penn States Kevion Latham (44) and Michael Mauti (42) converge on
Reed in the 2011 Outback Bowl at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fla. Reed was ruled down by contact. Mauti
talked to a number of scouts and team representatives Monday at Penn States pro day in State College.
VIERA, Fla. Chipper Jones put-
ting on pinstripes?
The banged-up New York Yankees
would love to have him. General man-
ager Brian Cashman even said so Mon-
day, expressing interest in the retired
Atlanta Braves star.
Hed be perfect, Cashman said
at Yankees camp in Tampa. Id take
Larry in a heartbeat. I think everybody
would.
The eight-time All-
Star third baseman
better known by his
nickname than actual
rst name quickly
ended such talk.
Enough with the
rumors! Jones tweet-
ed. While I am at-
tered about the speculation of being en-
ticed out of retirement, Im happy with
life as a bad golfer!
Pretty much what everyone gured.
I can imagine a lot of things in base-
ball, Braves coach Terry Pendleton
said, but Chipper playing for the Yan-
kees isnt one of them.
I think youd have a lot of people in
Atlanta pretty mad if that happened,
he said. But it might help the Yankees
with their attendance. I think a lot of
Mets fans would come over to Yankee
Stadium to boo him.
Still, it was a fun thought Jones
and Derek Jeter together on the left
side of the ineld. At least for a minute.
In a jam because of injuries, Cash-
man just threw out the idea.
I needed to check it off my list. I had
to exorcise that demon, he said. I got
my answer quick like 30 minutes.
The Yankees are on the prowl, how-
ever. They are missing third baseman
Alex Rodriguez, sidelined until July or
longer after hip surgery, and rst base-
man Mark Teixeira, out until May with
a strained tendon in his right wrist.
Will March be madness after wild season?

G o L f
SamParente made a little his-
tory before the start of the base-
ball season.
Senior Parente (Pittston
Area) became one of the few
players in the University of Pitts-
burghs long baseball history to
ever wear a C on his uniform.
He was named the teams only
captain for this season.
The 6-foot, 205-pound third
baseman was a two-year stand-
out at Lackawanna College and
then hit .302 with 26 RBI for the
Panthers last season. Hes off
to a great start this season. In
13 starts, hes hitting .392 (20-
for-51) with two doubles, two
triples, nine RBI and 10 runs
scored. He kicked off the season
by going 7-for-16 with three runs
scored and four RBI in a three-
game sweep of Wichita State.
Samhas done a very solid job
for us, coach Joe Jordano said.
The teamhas a great deal of re-
spect for him and nobody works
harder. We felt as a staff that he
earned the C he wears on his
jersey. That honor is not given
every year, but Sam earned it.
Another standout for Pitt
is junior Matt Wotherspoon
(Crestwood). The 6-foot-1,
195-pound right-hander is 2-1
with a 4.61 ERA. In four starts,
he has a complete game and
has worked 27.1 innings. Hes
given up 33 hits and 16 runs, 14
earned, with four walks and 19
strikeouts.
Matt has really matured
on the mound, Jordano said.
Each start he makes he gets
a little better. I feel he is going
to have a very productive year.
He has a great arm and three
pitches he can command. He
has a bright future with us and
beyond.
The Panthers are off to a
9-4 record after sweeping four
games to win the Panther Clas-
sic in Pittsburgh.
ZERFOSS AN ALL-AMER-
ICAN: Clarion freshman Sarah
Zerfoss (Dallas) competed in
her rst NCAA Division III
Swimming Championships last
weekend in Birmingham, Ala.,
and came up with a sparkling ef-
fort. She became the 239th All-
American (men and women) in
Dave Hrovats 23 years as Clari-
on diving coach.
Zerfoss earned All-American
honors by nishing seventh in
the 1-meter dive with a total of
425.55 points. She also earned
All-American honorable men-
tion for nishing 11th in the
3-meter dive with a total of 414
points.
Clarion nished in 17th place
in the team standings, Zerfoss
picking up 18 points for the
Golden Eagles.
OSTROWSKI CHIPPING
IN: The Ohio Wesleyan mens
lacrosse team is off to a 3-1 start
and senior Chris Ostrowski of
Pittston (Wyoming Seminary)
is starting at mideld for the
Battling Bishops.
Ostrowski, a 5-foot-7, 190-
pounder, is a key performer on
defense. He has nine ground
balls and two caused turnovers.
He hasnt scored this season,
but has four goals and four as-
sists in 37 career games.
Chris is a workhorse for us,
coach Michael Plantholt said.
He is almost always on the eld
during a game and we lean on
him heavily every day. He is ex-
perienced, athletic and a great
leader.
The coach feels that Ostrows-
kis leadership and condence
are the biggest improvement in
his play.
Right now hes playing with
a chip on his shoulder because
he knows its his last year and it
really has helped him focus.
Ostrowski is also a team cap-
tain.
There isnt another player
on the team that means more
than Chris, Plantholt said. Im
relying on him to set the team
standard and hold others ac-
countable.
GOOD START FOR IN-
MAN: Freshman Ashley Inman
(Tunkhannock) kicked off her
college career by hitting a three-
run single in her second at-bat
to help her Manseld softball
team open the season with a 6-4
victory over West Liberty. She
also had an RBI on a groundout.
Inman hit her rst college
home run in a 9-5 loss to An-
derson University in South
Carolina. An inelder/pitcher,
shes been serving as designated
hitter and relief pitcher. Shes
hitting .217 (5-for-23) in seven
games for the 3-4 Mountaineers.
Ashley has been a great ad-
dition to the team, coach Edith
Gallagher said. She worked
extremely hard in the offseason
and earned a spot as the start-
ing DH. She has also taken on
the role of middle relief and is
constantly improving on the
mound. She is very coachable
and learning about throwing to
college hitters.
The coach feels that the best
is yet to come for Inman.
She is a great competitor and
she will continue to get better
with more playing time, Gal-
lagher said.
Manseld will play ve games
this weekend when it competes
in the Salem Invitational in Sa-
lem, Va.
BIG HIT FOR FURMAN:
Bucknell junior Corey Furman
(Wyoming Area) hit a two-run
home run to highlight a six-run
fth inning to help his team
come from behind for a 7-4 vic-
tory over Harvard recently in
Charlottesville, Va.
Furman, a 6-foot-1, 190-pound
outelder, is hitting just .189 (7-
for-37), but also has a triple for
the 2-9 Bison.
Corey has settled in nicely as
our leadoff hitter, coach Scott
Heather said. He has been put-
ting quality at-bats together, es-
pecially over the last two weeks.
He is a hard-working kid who
has made the transition from a
high school shortstop to play-
ing in the outeld on the college
level.
BAKER STARTING: Junior
transfer Carson Baker (Lake-
Lehman) is starting in left
eld in his rst season with the
6-3 Kutztown baseball team.
Baker, a 6-foot-1, 195-pounder,
is hitting .193 (6-for-31) in the
early going with a double, three
runs scored and four RBI. Hes
handled 12 chances in the eld
without an error.
Carson has been a big boost
for Kutztown baseball, coach
Chris Blum said. He adds expe-
rience and credibility to a lineup
that was in desperate need for
some power with the loss of our
seniors. He is a tireless worker
and easy to coach always tak-
ing the extra swings and reps to
improve himself as a hitter. He
and his family have been a won-
derful addition to KU baseball.
WINGERT LEARNING
THE ROPES: Freshman Rob-
ert Wingert (Holy Redeemer)
is seeing action as a backup to
sophomore standout David Mol-
er with the No. 11-ranked Ste-
venson mens volleyball team.
Wingert, a 6-foot-4 setter, has
played in ve matches and 12
sets for the Mustangs, who are
11-6 overall and 1-1 in the Con-
tinental Volleyball Conference.
He has 91 assists, six digs, ve
blocks, three service aces and
two kills.
Rob arrived and was immedi-
ately one of our stronger leaders
and began pushing Dave Moler
for the starting setting job,
coach Joe Tagye said. He is a
high-energy, intelligent player
and we see his role increasing in
the future as well as he becomes
more acclimated to the speed of
the college game.
The Mustangs host Eastern
Mennonite in a CVC match to-
night in Stevenson, Md.

P I A A g I R L S B A S k E T B A L L T o U R n A M E n T
School: Wyoming Valley West
Grade: Senior
Sport: Wrestling
Weight class: 126 pounds
All in the family: Kyle, 18, is the son of
Pat and Ellie Krasavage of Larksville.
He has two older brothers, Pat and C.J.
Stats: Krasavage entered the PIAA
Class 3A state wrestling champion-
ships by going through his rst 38
matches of the season unbeaten, then
ran his record to 40-0 with a pin and
a win in his rst two matches of the
tournament. Wyoming Valley Wests
all-time victory leader, the Hofstra-
bound senior wound up settling for
fourth place in the 126-pound weight
class, but not before giving four-time
state nalist Connor Schram a tremen-
dous tussle and winning a consolation
bout to run his season record to 41-2.
Pinning it down: Krasavage returned
to the state tournament for the rst
time since his freshman season and
earned his medal by showing some
mettle. He opened the state tourney
by pinning Clearelds Dylan Graham
1:48 into the match. Then Krasavage
downed Dustin Rock from Big Spring
2-1, using a second-period reversal and
then fending off a series of shots in
the matchs nal minute. Krasavage
fell to two-time state champ Schram
from Canon-McMillan by a tough 7-3
decision in the state seminals, but
earned respect by battling head-to-
head with a wrestler who reached
the state nals all four years of his
high school career. Krasavage then
rebounded from that with a 4-2 victory
in the fourth-round consolation over
Rodney Sunday on Saturday, before
falling 8-4 to Tyler Walker of North
Hills.
Coachs corner: Im really proud of
him, Valley West coach Drew Feldman
said. He wrestled very tough. He had
a horse in the semis. I was proud he
was able to get his head back and win
back. Hes a great kid, on the wrestling
mat and in the classroom. He just had
a great ride. Couldnt ask for anything
more out of the kid.
Did you know? When hes not rolling
around on the wrestling mat, Krasav-
age blows off some steam by playing
with his three poodles - I just walked
them, they dont shed really, they have
all natural hair, he said - that always
provides him with a great escape.
From his view: It broke my heart. I
wanted to make top three, Krasavage
said of his fourth-place state nish.
But top four is (almost) as good. Even
against Schram - he was real tough,
ranked No. 3 in the nation - I believe I
held my own. It denitely makes you
feel good. I held my own with a kid
that good. I could only get better from
it.
Week in review: A former Times

weekend showing off her athletic
prowess again, Alexis Lewis scored
17 points, snagged 12 rebounds and
made six steals to lead Holy Redeemer
over Athens 40-38 in a PIAA girls
basketball opener Saturday. Includ-
ing in that spree was a dramatic steal
and layup with 32 seconds remaining
that helped seal the victory. In Class
2A of the state wrestling tournament,
Northwests Matt Welliver earned a
bronze medal by beating South Side
Beavers Nathan Reckner 5-1. Welliver
wrestles for Benton High School, which
has a co-operating agreement with
Northwest for wrestling. Along with
Krasavage, a couple of other WVC
wrestlers maneuvered their way into
fourth-place nishes at states. Cough-
lins 285-pounder Brad Emerick won
his Class 3A third-round consolation
match, while Lake-Lehmans Austin
Harry nished fourth in Class 2A.

Wyoming Valley Wests Kyle Krasavage received a fourth-place
medal in the PIAA Class 3A wrestling tournament.
regular season happens in con-
ference play on the home court
of the underdog, he said.
Still, Kellogg is expecting a
topsy-turvy tournament, evi-
denced by his struggle in pick-
ing the Final Four. He suggests
that two of the top teams will
make it to Atlanta, joined by
a school from a power confer-
ence that had an unremarkable
regular season, with perhaps a
George Mason-esque squad to
round out the eld.
Kellogg bases that as much on
the muddle in the middle of the
brackets as on the vulnerabili-
ties of the highest-ranked teams.
He thinks the selection commit-
tee will struggle to differentiate
programs for the fth through
14th seeds.
Because of that, youre go-
ing to have some matchups that
will create high drama, he said.
And teams that come out of 8-9
games against certain 1s may be
better positioned to move on.
With most conference tour-
neys yet to start, the four No. 1
seeds will total at least 16 losses
when this seasons NCAA tour-
nament opens next week. The
contenders for those spots cer-
tainly seem very beatable, but
perhaps they will roll through
the tourney. Maybe Indiana will
dominate once it escapes the
brutal Big Ten. Maybe Duke is
a powerhouse again with Ryan
Kelly healthy. Maybe Gonzaga
really is as good as its record
despite playing outside a power
conference.
The 2007 and 2011 NCAA
tournaments the two ex-
tremes of predictability in re-
cent memory prove that
were all just guessing. Six years
ago, Florida returned nearly ev-
erybody from its national cham-
pionship team, yet hardly domi-
nated during the regular season,
losing ve games.
The No. 1 ranking was held
by ve different schools. Yet
this led to an NCAA tournament
when perhaps the most surpris-
ing development was the lack of
surprises.
Not counting 8-9 games, there
were just two upsets in the rst
round. The worst seed in the
round of 16 was a No. 7 not
exactly Cinderella. Seven of the
nal eight teams were top-two
seeds, with the lone exception a
No. 3. And Florida repeated as
champion.
Four years later came the
Butler-VCU national seminal.
That season, Duke, Ohio State,
Pittsburgh and Kansas were the
top four teams in the polls, and
none strayed very far from there
on the way to the No. 1 seeds.
They didnt stick around very
long in the tourney, though.
One lost in its second game; two
others were knocked out in the
round of 16. Four double-digit
seeds made the round of 16, and
no top-two seeds reached the Fi-
nal Four.
For all the talk about the op-
portunity for teams from out-
side the power conferences to
make a run this year, many of
the schools being mentioned
for top seeds are established
winners: Duke, Indiana, George-
town, Louisville, Kansas.
And while the executives at
CBS and Turner who televise
the tournament love those buzz-
er-beaters that spring major up-
sets, they wouldnt mind a few
big names hanging around, too.
Brands do matter, Turner
Sports chief David Levy said. It
always good to have powerhouse
brands that are in the tourna-
ment and that get themselves
deep into the tournament.
On the eve of NFL free agen-
cy, trades involving top receiv-
ers Anquan Boldin and Percy
Harvin grabbed the headlines.
In an odd twist Monday, Bold-
in went from the Ravens to the
San Francisco 49ers, the team
he helped Baltimore beat 34-31
in last months Super Bowl.
Harvin, who expressed his
discontent in Minnesota, was
sent to Seattle, where he will
join former Vikings teammate
Sidney Rice.
The 24-year-old Harvin,
Minnesotas moody and multi-
talented receiver, will join the
Seahawks for a package of draft
picks that includes Seattles rst-
round selection next month, No.
25 overall. He also must pass a
physical.
Minnesota will also get Se-
attles seventh-round pick this
year and third-round selection
in 2014.
League MVP Adrian Peterson
was not thrilled over the news.
The best all around player
I ever seen or youll ever see!
Goes to Seattle! I feel like I just
got kicked in the stomach. Sev-
eral times!!! Peterson posted
on Twitter.
Harvin was producing at an
All-Pro level until badly sprain-
ing his left ankle last Nov. 4 in a
game at Seattle. He was placed
on injured reserve a month later.
He led the NFL in total yards at
the time of his injury.
Harvin, who also has suffered
from migraines, will enter the
fth and nal season of his rook-
ie deal with a $2.9 million salary
thats well under market value
-- unless the Seahawks rework it.
San Francisco acquired the
32-year-old Boldin for a sixth-
round draft pick. Boldin, a star
in Baltimores run to the Super
Bowl title last season, must pass
a physical to complete the deal.
Anquan was a great receiver
for myself and for our football
team, said quarterback Joe
Flacco, who signed a six-year,
$120.6 million deal with the Ra-
vens last week. Its sad to see a
guy like that go, but at the same
time, you want whats best for
him and you just wish him the
best of luck.
Anquan was a big part of this
football team, a big part of this
offense. Hes one of the main
reasons we won the Super Bowl
this year.
Boldin had six catches for 104
yards and a touchdown in the
Super Bowl victory. He had said
hed consider retirement rather
than leave Baltimore. But going
to the NFC champions might
change his mind.
Its a business, man. Those
things are going to happen, Ra-
vens wide receiver Jacoby Jones
said. I wish Q the best. Hes al-
ways a Raven with me, and we
got something they cant take
from us.
Added fellow Baltimore re-
ceiver Torrey Smith: Its not so
much about football when you
lose someone like that, some-
one you love like a brother and
would do anything for you.
Also Monday:
The Giants are allowing
Victor Cruz to enter restricted
free agency, placing a rst-round
tender on the wide receiver.
Team owner John Mara said
the Giants will risk having Cruz
agree to a contract with another
club. New York has the right to
match any offer. If the Giants al-
low him to leave, they will get a
rst-round draft choice as com-
pensation.
The tender is worth $2.879
million for 2012 for Cruz, who
has not made half of that in his
three pro seasons.
Cornerback DeAngelo Hall
was cut by the Redskins, a casu-
alty of the teams NFL-imposed
salary cap penalty. Washington
is over the cap because of an $18
million sanction for the way it
structured contracts during the
2010 uncapped season.
The Broncos released
nine-year veteran linebacker
D.J. Williams, freeing up his $6
million salary in 2013 for other
needs. Williams missed nine
games while serving a pair of
NFL-mandated suspensions last
season and was deemed expend-
able after Wesley Woodyard had
a breakout season at weakside
linebacker.
The Jets signed quarterback
David Garrard to back up -- and
provide a challenge to -- starter
Mark Sanchez. Garrard has not
played in the NFL since 2010.
He started 76 games in nine
seasons with Jacksonville and
played in the 2009 Pro Bowl.
The Cardinals released run-
ning back Beanie Wells after
four injury-plagued seasons. A
rst-round pick in 2009, Wells
showed ashes of the brilliance
he had at Ohio State, but has
only played one full season -- his
rookie year.
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Penn
State won its third-straight Big
Ten Wrestling Championships
title on Sunday, claiming rst
place with a score of 151.
The Nittany Lions claimed
four individual titles en route to
the conference championship.
Minnesota nished in second
place with 139 points, while
Iowa took third with 133.5.
Penn States Ed Ruth earned
Big Ten Wrestler of the Year
honors, while Minnesotas J
Robinson and the Nittany Li-
ons Cael Sanderson picked up
Co-Coach of the Year accolades.
Wisconsins Connor Medbery
earned Freshman of the Year
honors, while Illinois Jesse Del-
gado was named Wrestler of the
Championships.
Penn States David Taylor, a
No. 1 seed at 165, won his third
Big Ten title in as many seasons,
earning the championship with
a 9-1 major decision against Il-
linois No. 2 seed Conrad Polz.
Fellow Nittany Lion and No.
5 seed Matt Brown also claimed
a Big Ten title, taking the
174-pound championship with
a 7-3 decision against Iowa No.
2 seed Mike Evans to earn the
crown. Penn States top-seeded
Ruth claimed his third consecu-
tive Big Ten title, earning a 5-3
decision over Minnesotas sec-
ond-seeded Kevin Steinhaus at
184.
At 197, Penn State No. 1 seed
Quentin Wright won his second
Big Ten title, taking a 5-3 deci-
sion over second-seeded Scott
Schiller of Minnesota.

convene a new meeting, Jaffe
told The Associated Press.
Mike Lord of the State Ethics
Commission says he was not al-
lowed to conrm the ling of a
complaint.
The University System of
Maryland would not comment
Monday, but noted the Board
of Regents has already ac-
knowledged its violation of the
states open meetings act in the
wake of a ruling by Marylands
Open Meetings Compliance
Board, which said the regents
broke the law with their closed
meeting.
In spite of the ruling, the
Board of Regents face no sig-
nicant punishment.
Anne Moultrie of the Univer-
sity System insisted in an email
that the Board was entitled
to consider in private session
those aspects of the Big Ten
agreement that would have
involved disclosure of con-
dential commercial or nancial
information.
She also noted that it is
important to understand that
according to the University
System of Maryland policy, ad-
ministration of intercollegiate
athletics resides with the presi-
dent of the university. In other
words, the action taken by the
University of Maryland did
not require approval of the
University System of Maryland
Board or Regents.
But Jaffe, a proponent for
open government, continues
his push for a new meeting.

stock, according to an analysis
on NFL.com.
Mauti underwent surgery
that was performed by Steel-
ers orthopedic surgeon James
Bradley. Hes still on the recov-
ery trail, and didnt take part
in Mondays workout. But he
did meet with about ve NFL
scouts.
It really is the biggest job
interview as a football player,
Mauti said. Thats not an exag-
geration.
Doctors say his recovery
is ahead of schedule. He said
he was condent he would be
ready for NFL training camp
this summer. Either way, Mau-
tis leadership qualities remain
unquestioned. The ery, hard-
nosed player is considered per-
haps one of the best leaders to
ever come out of Penn State.
Quarterback Matt McGloin
was Mautis roommate during
their freshman year and one of
the leaders on offense as a se-
nior. The rags-to-riches story
of the former walk-on from
Scranton is now well-known in
Pennsylvania after McGloin set
several passing records in his
only season under OBrien, the
former offensive coordinator of
the Patriots.
McGloin wasnt invited to
the combine, but did play in
the Texas vs. The Nation all-
star game last month. Hill,
Hodges, Mauti and center Matt
Stankewitch were the four Nit-
tany Lions who took part in the
combine.
For guys that didnt get to
the combine, this was a great
opportunity for them, Mauti
said. You can tell those guys
are training hard. Im proud of
them.
McGloin said hes concen-
trated the last few months on
getting quicker, losing a little
weight and working on foot-
work and mechanics.
I showed I had the arm
strength capable of playing at
the next level. I thought my
footwork looked good, but its
just the way I felt, McGloin
said after his workout. It only
takes one team to fall in love
with you.

MIAMI Gio Gonzalez
munched on chicken wings and
shrimp scampi at a sports bar
in his hometown as he watched
Team USA rally to stay alive in
the World Baseball Classic.
The next game hell take in
from the mound. The Washing-
ton Nationals left-hander will
start for the United States in
its opener of round two Tues-
day night against Puerto Rico.
The U.S. team rallied with
seven runs in the last two in-
nings Sunday to advance by
beating Canada 9-4 in Phoenix.
Gonzalez wasnt with the
team in Arizona. He left the
Nationals camp in central
Florida before the U.S. game
Sunday to make the three-hour
drive south.
I was so condent they
were going to win, he said. I
was ready to go.
Gonzalez grew up in Hiale-
ah, a short drive from Marlins
Park, the site of the second
round.
To be a small town kid
from Hialeah, Fla., pitching in
Miami and representing Team
USA, that says it all, he said.
Its a kids dream. Dont pinch
me. I dont want to wake up.
The second round will start
with a split doubleheader Tues-
day. The Dominican Republic
will face Italy in an afternoon
game, followed by Team USA
against Puerto Rico.
At this point, youre getting
the cream, U.S. manager Joe
Torre said. Theyve all gotten
through the rst round.
The Americans almost didnt
make it. They fell behind in all
three games in Phoenix, lost
their opener and had to rally in
the other games.
Its March, and were play-
ing games that feel like were
in October, rst baseman
Eric Hosmer said. Thats the
beauty of the World Baseball
Classic.
Hosmer hit a three-run dou-
ble in the ninth inning to help
seal Sundays win.
We want to show the world
we know how to play, he said.
For us not to make it here
would have been pretty bad.
The Americans hit .297 in
the opening round, led by
David Wright (5 for 11) and
Joe Mauer (5 for 12). Wright
had the only U.S. home run,
a grand slam that helped beat
Italy on Saturday.
Eleven relievers have com-
bined for an ERA of 1.93. But
Torres three starters R.A.
Dickey, Ryan Vogelsong and
Derek Holland have a com-
bined ERA of 6.00.

PHILADELPHIA Spencer
Hawes had 24 points and 10
rebounds, Jrue Holiday added
15 points and 11 assists and
the Philadelphia 76ers beat the
Brooklyn Nets 106-97 on Mon-
day night.
Hawes set a season high for
points and also had seven as-
sists while helping the Sixers
snap a ve-game losing streak.
Thaddeus Young had 16 points
and 10 rebounds.
Evan Turner also scored 16
points and Dorell Wright had
10. 76ers coach Doug Collins
won his 100th game with the
team.
Deron Williams had 27
points and 13 assists for the
Nets, who had won three in a
row.
Philadelphia grabbed con-
trol in the second quarter and
never trailed in the second half.
It was a rare feel-good win for
a team that had high expecta-
tions before center Andrew By-
num was lost indenitely with
knee injuries.
With the Sixers up big, Wil-
liams tried to rally the Nets
on his own, and for a while it
worked. He converted a three-
point play and then sank two
more from the free-throw line
to get Brooklyn within eight in
the fourth.
But Williams also threw the
ball away on a baseline drive,
and later missed an open look
with the Nets down eight. The
Nets missed seven of their next
eight shots until Joe Johnson
hit a 3 with 1:25 left to make
it 101-95.
OTTAWA, Ontario David
Krejci scored the shootout win-
ner and had an assist in regula-

Tuuka Rask made 30 saves in
regulation and stopped three of
four Senators in the shootout,
including a bizarre attempt from
Kaspars Daugavins. The Ottawa
forward carried the puck by
pressing down with the tip of his
stick before attempting a failed
360 move in front of Rask.
Shawn Thornton and Daniel
Paille scored for Boston, which
rallied froma 2-0 decit to win its
10th straight in Ottawa.

TUESDAY, MARCH 12, 2013 PAgE 5B TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com S P O R T S
For real.
Such is life these days for one
of the NHLs hottest players, one
who has spent most of his nine-
year career living comfortably
in the shadow of his high-prole
teammates only to nd himself
maybe becoming one himself.
A quick scan of the NHLs lead-
ing scorers more than halfway
through the season includes the
usual suspects, including Pitts-
burghs Sidney Crosby and Tam-
pas Steven Stamkos at the top.
At the moment, it also includes
a blue collar guy with a knack for
lighting the lamp.
Heading into Tuesday nights
showdown with the Boston Bru-
ins, Kunitz is third in the league
in scoring. His 36 points on 17
goals and 19 assists puts himwell
ahead of guys whose resumes are
littered with All-Star appearances
and whose paychecks come with
a few more zeros.
The 31-year-olds plus/minus
ratio of plus-21 is the highest in
the league and hes turning an
eye-popping 29 percent of his
shots into goals. Kunitz, as is his
way, insists hes not doing any-
thing differently.
Ask Kunitz whats the secret to
the dramatic uptick in his produc-
tion and he deects any praise
onto a guy more used to the spot-
light.
I get to play with the best
player in the world every night,
Kunitz said, nodding toward
Crosbys locker. It makes going
out and playing a lot of fun.
Crosby, however, knows its
more than just luck. While the
former MVP appears to be fully
recovered from the concussion-
like symptoms that basically
robbed him of nearly two years in
his prime, Crosby says its Kunitz
who is doing all the hard work,
not the other way around.
The way Kunis ring the puck
right now, he makes all of us look
good by putting the puck in the
back of the net, Crosby said.
Its happening with alarming
regularity. Kunitz set career highs
in goals (26) and points (61) last
season while not missing a game,
playing most of the time along-
side Neal and NHL MVP Evgeni
Malkin. Yet somehow he is on
pace to surpass both totals de-
spite a schedule basically cleaved
in half due to the lockout.
And Kunitz is doing it in a
drastically different way than his
linemates. He doesnt have Cros-
bys breathtaking talent or Neals
powerful slap shot. What he does
have is an ability to work in tight
spaces and nd the puck through
a crowd of sticks.

BUSINESS
SECTI ON C
IN BRIEF
Icahn gets access to Dell docs
Billionaire investor Carl Icahn, who
is ghting Dell Inc. founder Michael
Dells plan to take the struggling
company private, has entered a con-
dentiality agreement that would give
him access to the computer makers
nancial records.
Michael Dell, who is also Dells CEO,
is planning a $24.4 billion buyout that
would make the Round Rock, Texas,
company a privately-owned business.
But Icahn and other investors say the
price of $13.65 per share is too low.
Icahns company, Icahn Enterprises,
has said it holds a substantial stake in
the company.
Icahn wants the company to pay a spe-
cial dividend of $9 per share, nanced
with existing cash and newdebt, if
shareholders reject the buyout offer.
AT&T chief earns $21 million
AT&T Inc. CEO Randall Stephenson
earned $21 million in 2012, a personal
record, as his pay bounced back after a
less than stellar 2011.
The phone companys board lopped
$2.1 million off Stephensons pay in
2011 because he engineered the failed
deal to buy T-Mobile USA. Opposi-
tion from regulators meant AT&T
had to abandon the project and hand
over $4.2 billion in cash and spectrum
rights to T-Mobile.
That was a forgotten in 2012, when
Stephensons pay was back in line with
previous years, plus a little extra
his total was 4 percent higher than
the $20.2 million he earned in 2010,
according to a calculation by The As-
sociated Press based on a regulatory
ling Monday.
Mellon exec gets $13.8M
Bank of New York Mellon Corp. paid
CEO Gerald Hassell $13.8 million last
year, 11 percent more than the $12.4
million in compensation he received
in 2011, according to proxy materials
led by the bank.
BNY Mellon will hold its annual
shareholders meeting in New York
on April 9. It will be only the second
time since Mellon Financial Corp. and
Bank of New York Co. merged in 2007
that the meeting will not be held in
Pittsburgh. The meeting was held in
New York in 2008.
Hassell received a base salary of $1
million last year, up from $866,667 in
2011. The value of his stock awards
increased to $6.2 million from $2.5
million. He received no cash bonus last
year or in 2011.

PLAINS TWP. About 1 per-
cent of the Mohegan Sun at Po-
cono Downs workforce has been
let go as the company has consoli-
dated a handful of management
positions in the name of efciency.
Mike Bean, the casinos general
manager, said between 15 and 20
of the casinos 1,700 employees
were laid off recently and that an-
other dozen or so vacant positions
will not be lled. He said the deci-
sions came after a review of ways
to operate more efciently. All the
cuts were from management and
involved salaried employees.
He declined to go into details
about what departments were im-
pacted or what specic jobs were
consolidated, citing personnel
condentiality.
There are no plans for addition-
al job cuts, Bean said.
The layoffs come on the heels
of a down 2012 for the states rst
casino.
It was one of four casinos to
see an annual decrease in slot-
machine gross revenue from 2011
to 2012. It saw a decrease of 0.27
percent year to year, dipping from
$232.8 million in gross revenue at
slot machines in 2011 to $232.1
million last year.
The downward spiral continued
in January and February this year.
In January, Mohegan Sun reg-
istered the second-greatest de-
crease in gross slots revenue of
the states casinos, dropping 6.14
percent, or $1.12 million from
January 2012, from $18,355, 714
to $17,229,093.
Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs
had the third-largest decrease in
year-to-year gross slot machine
revenue in the state for Febru-
ary, down 13.88 percent, from
$20,170,535 to $17,370,134.
And Januarys table-games rev-
enue, while decent at $3.591 mil-
lion, was down $707,000, or 16
percent, compared with January
2012. But it was an increase of
$272,000 compared with Decem-
ber. And a 9 percent increase com-
pared with January 2011, Bean
said.
The state gaming board has
not yet released Februarys table-
games report.
The layoffs are not impacting
the $50 million, 238-room hotel/
events center now under con-
struction and slated to open next

LONDON Clicking those friend-
ly blue like buttons strewn across
the Web may be doing more than
marking you as a fan of Coca-Cola or
Lady Gaga.
It could out you as gay.
It might reveal how you vote.
It might even suggest that youre
an unmarried introvert with a high IQ
and a weakness for nicotine.
Thats the conclusion of a study
published Monday in Proceedings of
the National Academy of Sciences.
Researchers reported analyzing the
likes of more than 58,000 American
Facebook users to make guesses about
their personalities and behavior, and
even whether they drank, smoked or
did drugs.
Cambridge University researcher
David Stillwell, one of the studys au-
thors, said the results may come as a
surprise.
Your likes may be saying more
about you than you realize, he said.
Facebook launched its like button
in 2009, and the small thumbs-up
symbol has since become ubiquitous
on the social network and common
across the rest of the Web as well.
Facebook said last year that roughly
2.7 billion new likes pour out onto the
Internet every day endorsing ev-
erything from pop stars to soda pop.
That means an ever-expanding pool of
data available to marketers, managers
and just about anyone else interested
in users inner lives, especially those
who arent careful about their privacy
settings.
Stillwell and his colleagues scooped
up a bucketful of that data in the way
that many advertisers do through
apps. Millions of Facebook users have
surveyed their own personal traits us-
ing applications including a program
called myPersonality. Stillwell, as
owner of the app, has received rev-
enue from it, but declined to say how
much.
The study zeroed in on the 58,466
U.S. test takers who also had volun-
teered access to their likes.
When researchers crunched the
like data and compared their results
to answers given in the personality
test, patterns emerged in nearly every
direction.
You are what you like, at least on Facebook

NEW YORK It wasnt too long
ago that America had a love affair with
soda. Now an old ame has the coun-
trys heart.
As New York Citys ban on the sale
of large cups of soda and other sugary
drinks at some businesses starts on
Tuesday, one thing is clear: Sodas run
as the nations beverage of choice has
zzled.
In its place? A favorite for much of
history: Plain old H2O.
For more than two decades, soda
was the No. 1 drink in the U.S. with
consumption peaking in 1998 at 54
gallons a year, according industry
tracker Beverage Digest. Americans
drank just 42 gallons a year of water
at the time.
But over the years, as soda increas-
ingly came under re for fueling the
nations rising obesity rates, water qui-
etly rose to knock it off the top spot.
Americans now drink an average of
44 gallons of soda a year, a 17 percent
drop from the peak in 1998. Over the
same time, the average amount of wa-
ter people drink has increased 38 per-
cent to about 58 gallons a year. Bottled
water has led that growth, with con-
sumption nearly doubling to 21 gal-
lons a year.
Stephen Ngo, a civil defense at-
torney, quit drinking soda a year ago
when he started running triathlons
and wanted a healthier way to quench
his thirst.
Ngo, 34, has a Brita lter for tap wa-
ter and keeps his pantry stocked with
cases of bottled water.
It might just be the placebo effect
or marketing, but it tastes crisper,
said Ngo, who lives in Miami.
The trend reects Americans ever-
changing tastes; it wasnt too far back
in history that tap water was the top
drink.
But in the 1980s, carbonated soft
drinks overtook tap as the most pop-
ular drink, with Coca-Cola and Pep-
siCo putting their marketing muscle
behind their colas with celebrity en-
dorsements from the likes of pop star
Michael Jackson and comedian Bill
Cosby.
Americans kept drinking more of
the carbonated, sugary drink for about
a decade.
In love with water again

As sugary drinks come under re for fueling obesity rates, people are increasingly reaching for bottled water as a
healthier, relatively affordable alternative. Already, bottled water has surged past juice, milk and beer.

The USDAs Healthy Eating Index found
that the average American consumes well
under the daily-recommended intake of
fruits and vegetables.
Unfortunately, there is a common
misconception that eating healthy is
expensive, and while it certainly can be, it
doesnt have to be. In fact, a study released
by the U.S. Department of Agriculture last
year found that most fruits, vegetables and
other healthy foods cost less than foods
high in fat, sugar and salt. These tips will
help you save money at the supermarket.
Buy in bulk. Bulk foods offer huge
savings, but think strategically about what
and howmuch youre buying. Freely reach
for shelf-stable items like whole grains,
pastas, spices, dried fruits, and nuts, which
are much less expensive when purchased
in large quantities.
Shop seasonally and take advantage
of your local farmers market, which is a
great place to nd fruits and vegetables
when theyre at their most delicious.
Farmers market produce is usually the
same price or cheaper than it is at your
local grocery; and since youre outside,
walking around and soaking in the Vitamin
D at the same time, its a win-win.
When its not in season, buy frozen.
Flash freezing techniques allowfrozen
fruits and vegetables to retain their origi-
nal color, crispness, taste, and nutritional
value once thawed. Frozen veggies are
a great addition to any stir-fry dish; and
frozen fruit can be used for baking or
whipping up healthy breakfast smoothies.
Shop organic strategically. Organic
food is better for you because it contains
less pesticide residue, but it can be more
expensive. Some foods have higher levels
of pesticides than others so if youre going
to buy organic, reach for these rst: peach-
es, apples, bell peppers, celery, nectarines,
strawberries, cherries, pears, grapes,
imported spinach, lettuce, and potatoes.
Dont overlook the store brand. Ac-
cording to Consumer Reports, selecting
private-label products over brand-name
products can save consumers up to 25
percent. Thats huge! Stores offer tons
of healthy options through their private-
labels everything fromfrozen fruit to
chicken breasts to eggs. Also, be sure to
check the weekly circular at your local
store for manufacturers coupons, which
can help you save even more on your
grocery bill.

If you want to increase your
chances of avoiding Alzheimers
disease, you might want to drop
the cheeseburger.
That advice comes from
Dr. Neal D. Barnard, a clinical
researcher, author and frequent
talk-show guest known for his
advocacy of meat-free diets.
Through the years, Barnard
has explored how our lifestyle
choices, and what we eat or
drink, are tied to medical
conditions like diabetes, heart
disease and chronic pain. But
his latest book, Power Foods
for the Brain (Grand Central
Life & Style, $26.99), marks the
rst time Barnard has looked
at diet, neurological health and
memory a top topic for the
aging baby-boom generation.
More than 5 million Americans
have Alzheimers or related
dementias.
We used to think of diseases
like infections that we then
could treat or cure. But now we
realize its also whats on your
plate or in that pack of ciga-
rettes, said Barnard.
The book also explores how
metals commonly found in
food, containers and cookware
including aluminum, copper,
iron and zinc may harm
the brain, and explains how to
protect yourself.
The adjunct associate profes-
sor of medicine at George
Washington University School
of Medicine and Health Sci-
ences said we still have a lot to
learn about how diet affects our
brains and if shunning animal
products can protect us from

Shortly after Dr. Dana
Gossett gave birth to her
rst daughter 13 years ago,
she began agonizing over
worst-case scenarios famil-
iar to any new mother.
One of those nagging con-
cerns: What if I fall down
the stairs while carrying the
baby?
Its not something you
intend to do, its not some-
thing you want to do, but
its a thought that comes
unbidden into your mind,
said Gossett, a physician
at Northwestern Memorial
Hospital.
Those persistent worries
are at the center of a new
Northwestern Medicine
study that shows postpar-
tum mothers are nearly four
times more likely to grapple
with obsessive-compulsive
behavior than everyone else.
Are they really abnormal
or a universal experience
for all postpartum moth-
ers? Gossett said. We were
frankly surprised by the
numbers.
Eleven percent of several
hundred mothers surveyed
at two and six weeks after
giving birth reported obses-
sive-compulsive symptoms,
such as worrying too much
about dirt and germs.
The study did not delve
into the possible causes of
the elevated anxiety, but
Gossett offered her own ex-
planation.
We know that stress
of any nature can trigger
OCD, Gossett said, refer-
ring to obsessive-compul-
sive disorder. And we know
that child birth and becom-
ing a mother is enormously
stressful.
Although the fears are
common, Gossett said new
mothers should think twice
if their concerns are caus-
ing signicant emotional
distress or interfering with
everyday life, like prevent-
ing them from leaving the
garage because they cannot
stop checking their childs
car seat.
The study, which North-
western calls one of the
rst of its kind, could help
other researchers determine
whether postpartum depres-
sion is a gloomy period or
its own disease. Gossett is
reserving judgment.
The jury is out, she said,
but its a fascinating idea.

DALLAS Grant Halliburton was handsome, artistic, bright, popular and loved.
He also suffered from bipolar disorder and depression. When he was 19, he jumped off a 10-sto-
ry building to his death.
His mother, Vanita Halliburton, has gone over this tragedy again and again. If she knew now
what she knew then, she believes the outcome might have been different than it was that awful
day in November 2005.
Mental illness affects 1 in 5 people, but can be successfully treated
By NANCy ChurNIN - The Dallas Morning News
SIGNS OF MENTAL ILLNESS
Signicant changes in behavior, mood and
thinking that have lasted for at least two
weeks. For example: increased or diminished
appetite and sleeping, changes in hygiene and
self-care, activity, behavior, socializing, mood,
sped-up or slowed-down thinking, increased
smoking and alcohol and/or drug use.
Changes that have occurred without an
evident cause such as a physical illness or
traumatic life event.

Care

Grant Halliburton Foundation president Vanita Halliburton, right, poses for a photo with the assistance from her
daughter Amy Halliburton McCloskey, director of communications, in Dallas, Texas. The two are helping raise aware-
ness about teen and young adult mental health and suicide prevention after the death of Grant Halliburton, who took
his own life at the age of 19.
She created the Grant Hallibur-
ton Foundation in Dallas in the
hope that the outcome will be dif-
ferent for others. The group teaches
the signs of mental illness and puts
people in touch with available re-
sources.
Its a crucial mission because,
while experts agree that early in-
tervention saves lives, most people
wait years before getting help. The
delay can be tragic.
We were a typical family, Hal-
liburton says softly on the phone.
We were parents with reasonable
intelligence and reasonable means
to do whatever it might take to get
our son well. And if we didnt get
this right, then what about the peo-
ple who dont have a clue or dont
pay attention to the signs or brush
them off?

Alzheimers.
What we really need is a
large study where we put these
things together. I would love
to take 1,000 people, throw the
bad foods out and see what
happens, Barnard said.
He is also president and
founder of the Physicians Com-
mittee for Responsible Medi-
cine, a nonprot that promotes
preventive medicine, higher
research standards and
alternatives to using animals
in experiments.
Barnard, who grew up on
a North Dakota cattle ranch
and gradually turned vegan,
spoke with us about what to
eat, how to break the high-fat
habit, and where he dines.
Q: You promote going
vegan, which means giving
up all meat as well as animal-
based products like cheese and
eggs. Isnt that too difcult for
most people?
A: Being a vegan isnt really
that hard. If you compare it
with quitting smoking, smok-
ing is a 6 or 7. Being vegan is a
2. Start off by trying a three-
week experiment. Dont focus
on, Ill never again have a ba-
con double cheeseburger. Just
do it for now. Many people try
diet changes short-term and
then realize, Hey, I really like
this.
Q: Research has shown
there is a strong genetic link
to some type of dementias. So
how would ones diet make a
difference?
A: Genes are not necessarily
destiny. The genes that pre-
dispose people to Alzheimers
disease or obesity or diabetes
arent dictators. I think of
them as committees. They
make suggestions, but you can
ght back by making healthy
changes.
Q: What are your favorite
food brain-boosters and good
habits for neurological health?
A: Within the vegetable
group, go for color. Green kale,
spinach and sweet potatoes
are all good. Look at blueber-
ries and grapes. And do take a
vitamin B12 supplement every
day. Also, go to sleep. People
stay up too late. At 10 p.m.,
knock yourself out.
Q: Do you have any guilty
food pleasures, given the con-
straints of being vegan?
A: Maybe some dark
chocolate every now and
then. But really, I dont ever
feel deprived. I go (to vegan
restaurants) dine with cu-
linary geniuses, and walk out
with a smile on my face. The
idea is you can eat in a healthy
way and still have a beautiful
experience.

The statistics, as Halliburton says,
are shocking.
One in ve Americans 18 or older
has experienced a diagnosable mental
illness or behavioral or emotional dis-
order in the course of a year, accord-
ing to a 2010 national survey released
by the Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration.
The survey, of about 67,500 people
12 and older, shows that 5 percent of
adults suffer from mental illness so se-
vere that it limits major life activities.
About 8.7 million people have had
serious thoughts of suicide. The sur-
vey shows 2.5 million planning suicide
and 1.1 million actually attempting it.
According to the National Alliance
on Mental Illness, suicide is the eighth
leading cause of death overall in the
United States and the third leading
cause of death for people between the
ages of 15 and 24.
The good news is that mental ill-
ness can be managed successfully
with medication and therapy, experts
agree. The bad news is that only about
4 in 10 people experiencing mental ill-
ness receive services, according to the
SAMHSA report.
The average time between when
symptoms appear and treatment be-
gins is nine years. Among the road-
blocks to getting help are guilt over
the idea that you or the person with
the illness is at fault, confusion about
what to do and resistance on the part
of the loved one to acknowledge his ill-
ness, says Dr. Lloyd I. Sederer.
Sederer, a psychiatrist and medical
director of the New York state ofce
of mental health, wrote The Family
Guide to Mental Health Care (W.W.
Norton & Co., $25.95), a practical
guide due out in April, which claries
that mental illness is a physiological
disorder that is no ones fault.
There are certain areas of the brain
that look different in people aficted
with mental illness than in those in-
dividuals who are not, Sederer says.
We have to set aside confusion, sad-
ness, anger and despair and get on
with what needs to be done.
Sederer says once family members
spot the signs, they should be direct
when talking to a loved one they think
might be suffering. Describe to the
person you love what you see going
on. Be specic. Tell the person, I have
not lost condence in you. I love you
and believe in you. I know this is not
who you are, this is not the person Ive
known for so long. My love for you
insists we nd help. I will be here to
support you.
Dr. Preston Wiles, a psychiatrist
and medical director of the Univer-
sity of Texas Southwestern/Childrens
Medical Autism Center, was, like Hal-
liburton, a panelist on the symposium,
Erasing the Stigma: Mental Illness
and the Search for Solutions, spon-
sored by The Dallas Morning News,
KERA and Mayor Mike Rawlings in
February. He believes eliminating the
stigma could make a difference in peo-
ple getting the help they need.
Hed like to see pediatricians, teach-
ers, school counselors and young
people learn and report the signs as
a lifesaving measure similar to the
way were taught to stop the bleeding
when we see a wound, do chest com-
pressions for people in cardiac arrest
and use the Heimlich maneuver to re-
lieve choking.
With 50 percent of those with men-
tal illness manifesting signs of their
disease before the age of 14, and 75
percent before the age of 24, accord-
ing to the National Institute of Mental
Health, we actually have a wonderful
opportunity to catch things when we
can do the most good, Wiles says.
All too often, people may see signs
but are afraid to press forward with
questions, particularly in the case of
depression, he says.
Theres almost this myth if you talk
to someone about whether he or she
is suicidal, that will increase the risk,
which is totally not true. Most of the
time, people are relieved when you ask
them. Its a secret theyve been keep-
ing that theyre scared of. When they
talk about it, you can help create a
plan for them to feel better and to ad-
dress the problem.
A 24-hour suicide hotline and local
mental health organizations can be
a good place to start if you suspect a
problem, experts say. Early resources
can include trusted clergy, a family
doctor, a pediatrician or a school coun-
selor. If further help is recommended,
ask for a referral to a therapist or psy-
chotherapist, social worker, psycholo-
gist or psychiatrist. Many mental
illnesses, including all psychotic con-
ditions, require a psychiatrist or psy-
chopharmacologist to prescribe medi-
cations a psychiatric-mental health
nurse practitioner can prescribe medi-
cation under the supervision of or
in collaboration with a psychiatrist.
Psychiatrists are physicians who can
both prescribe medication and per-
form psychotherapy; some will just
prescribe medication in coordination
with therapy by other mental health
professionals.
Halliburton says if there had been
less of a stigma, she might have been
able to nd friends to talk to about
her sons condition. She said she was
quick to get him help as soon as his
rst symptom, self-cutting, occurred
at age 14, but there was too much she
didnt know.
At that time, she wasnt aware of the
National Alliance on Mental Illness,
which provides free support groups
across the country for family members
as well as those who have mental ill-
ness.
She put Grant in a mental health fa-
cility when he left his freshman year of
college early, asking for help, but she
didnt know when he emerged from
the hospital when, instead of being
stronger, he was actually at his most
vulnerable. She remembers talking to
him on the phone the day he died, two
weeks after his release.
I asked him how he was doing,
and he said, Great, and I thought,
He sounds like his old self; he sounds
good. That should have been the rst
red ag. He felt condent because he
had a plan, a solution to his pain. He
was cleaning his room, and I went,
Wow, thats great. He had taken post-
ers off his walls and given away all his
things, including his iPod. And that
should have been another red ag. He
was putting his affairs in order, tidying
up things for his death.
She says shes since learned that
eight out of 10 times when people take
their own life, they give warnings. She
has those warnings printed on the
brochures that the Grant Halliburton
Foundation gives to schools, medical
professionals, government ofcials
and anyone who asks.
My son exhibited every one of the
signs on the list in the weeks before
his death, but we didnt know what
was going on right before our eyes.
Her decision to start the foundation
came soon after his death, in January
2006. It was born out of a cascade of
grief and shock, she says.
I kept wanting to know more about
what had happened to our wonderful,
bright young boy. As time went on, I
realized this has got to be about the
living. When youve had this kind of
loss, you know any one teenager you
can help, anything you can do to save
a life is wonderful. Were here to make
a difference.
COMMON FORMS OF
MENTAL ILLNESS
Depression: Loss of interest in food and
pleasure, slow movements and the feeling
of being a burden. This most prevalent of
all nonpsychotic disorders affects about 7
percent of adults each year, is the leading
cause of disability globally, and can be
fatal, leading to suicide.
Bipolar disorder: A psychotic disorder,
commonly arriving in a persons early
20s and continuing through adult life, it
is characterized by either acute mania an
overwhelming state of excitement, agita-
tion and irritation, rapid cycling disorder
frequent swinging from manic to depres-
sive episodes or depression.
Schizophrenia: A psychotic disorder
usually beginning in late adolescence or
early adulthood, manifested by withdrawal,
preoccupation with things that others
dont understand, odd choices in clothing,
impaired sleep and paranoia as he or she
responds to threats or sounds that only he
or she can discern.

The eyes may or may not be
windows to the soul, but ex-
perts say they certainly give a
snapshot of overall health. The
retina mirrors general health
status, so heres what experts
say are the healthy habits that
have a directly protective ef-
fect on vision:
1. Exercise regularly. Eyes
rely on good circulation.
2. Avoid smoke and other
environmental irritants, such
as dust and allergens.
3. Eat your greens. A diet
rich in antioxidants, expecially
lutein and zeaxanthin (found
in green leafy vegetables), vi-
tamin E (found in nuts), and
vitamin C (found in citrus),
has been shown to promote
eye health.
4. Get some shut-eye: Sleep-
ing eyes are continually bathed
in tears, which helps clear
away dust and allergens.
5. Get regular screenings:
After a baseline exam at 40, go
back as often as your doctor
recommends; after 65, have an
exam every 1 to 2 years.

Five ways to protect your vision
It might take you a couple
days to adjust to daylight sav-
ing time but you will indeed get
used to that hour of light being
swiped from the morning and
transported to the evening.
If you have difculty sleeping
the rest of the year too, there
are ways you can help yourself.
The most important one might
be: Take a walk.
A poll released by the Na-
tional Sleep Foundation found
that people who exercise, even
a little, enjoyed more restful
sleep than people who got no
exercise at all.
I dont think we can say,
on the basis of this poll, that
exercise improves sleep, but
people who exercise regularly
are less likely to report sleep
disturbance, said Dr. Barbara
Phillips, the medical director
of the sleep lab at the Univer-
sity of Kentuckys College of
Medicine. She also helped put
together questions for the poll,
taken of 1,000 adults ages 23 to
60.
The most active people re-
ported the fewest problems:
Among the respondents who
described themselves as vigor-
ous exercisers, 83 percent said
their sleep quality had been
very good or fairly good in
the previous two weeks.
But there wasnt much drop-
off for those who exercised less:
77 percent of moderate exercis-
es had very or fairly good sleep,
and 76 percent of light exercis-
ers said that. In the group that
engaged in no physical activity,
only 56 percent said they got
enough sleep.
The time of day the exercise
took place didnt seem to mat-
ter.
Many experts have long
urged people to avoid working
out right before bed, arguing
that sleep comes more quickly
when the body is cooled down
and not over-stimulated.
Among the respondents who
exercised within four hours of
bedtime, 55 percent said their
sleep improved on exercise
days; among those who exer-
cised further away from bed-
time, 54 percent said their sleep
was better on those days.
The Sleep Foundation has
now amended its guidelines to
encourage sleepers to exercise,
regardless of the hour, as long
as it doesnt come at the ex-
pense of sleep.
If youre a typical American
and you have a day job, that
only leaves so much time for
exercise, Phillips said. We
shouldnt give people an excuse
to not exercise. What were say-
ing now, loud and clear, is that
unless your doctor tells you
otherwise, exercise anywhere,
anytime you can if you want to
improve your sleep.
The poll also makes a strong
connection between a lack of
exercise and obstructive sleep
apnea, a serious disorder in
which the airway is blocked,
often by the tongue or other
soft tissue inside the mouth or
throat.
This causes the sleeper to
wake up during the night, some-
times dozens of times an hour,
and the result can be anything
from sleepiness during the day
to an increased risk of diabetes,
depression and heart attacks.
Most people recover from the
switch in a few days. To make
the transition smoother, con-
sider these tips:
Get plenty of sunlight in
the morning, as early as you
can.
Avoid bright lights in the
evening, including the use of
electronic gadgets that emit
LED light.
Even if youre tired, dont
take a nap.

MINNEAPOLIS Say what
you will about size, its the num-
bers that really matter. Consid-
er:
Women produce one egg a
month, which birth control pills
have been notably efcient in
keeping corralled.
Men, however, come armed
with hundreds of millions of
sperm, so a successful male con-
traceptive has to deal with every
one of the little buggers. Every
one of them!
Little wonder, then, that
promises of a male pill have
rung as hollow as a morning-
afters Ill call you.
The sexual landscape may be
changing, though, thanks to a
University of Minnesota chem-
ist who has developed a new ap-
proach to bringing men into the
world of birth control, short of
condoms or vasectomies.
Gunda Georg is a professor in
the College of Pharmacys De-
partment of Medicinal Chem-
istry. Shes also the one behind
the joke that every room of the
six-story building is used for re-
search, even the bathrooms.
The National Institutes of
Health recently awarded Georg
a $4.7 million grant for her con-
traceptive work.
In a nutshell, heres whats
new: Most efforts to develop a
male contraceptive use testos-
terone, but there are side ef-
fects: moodiness, which causes
researchers to worry, or tes-
ticular shrinkage, which causes
marketers to despair.
Also, men make sperm until
the day they die, so any method
may be used far longer than
womens birth control. (Quick
round of applause for meno-
pause.) Finally, any methods ef-
fect has to be reversible.
Theres always been a hor-
monal approach to a male pill,
like the womans pill, which
made people think a solution
was just around the corner,
Georg said. But ours is a non-
hormonal approach.
Georgs explanation calls to
mind those sex education mov-
ies showing thousands of tiny
shimmying sperm around a
gigantic egg. Its not that the
sperm are shimmying as much
as whirling their tales in a circu-
lar motion, like a drilling move-
ment, she said. What were do-
ing is trying to slowthemdown.
Its a particularly nice way of
thinking about it immobiliz-
ing the sperm.
Working with Joseph Tash at
the University of Kansas, Georg
found a nonhormonal com-
pound called H2-gamendazole
that causes developing sperm to
be released before theyre fully
mature. Were not targeting
their generation, but their mo-
tility, Georg said.
The beauty of slowing the
sperm involves another num-
ber: During unprotected sex, se-
men ends up only a few inches
from the back of the vagina.
Yet the actual distance that the
sperm must swim to reach the
egg is equivalent to a man run-
ning three miles, according to
The Male Biological Clock, a
book by mens health researcher
Harry Fisch.
Would a guy really use a pill
or injection or patch or cream
if given the opportunity?
Elaine Tyler May is a profes-
sor of American Studies and
History at the University of Min-
nesota and author of America
and the Pill, published in 2010.
Her research supports other
surveys that say men would take
birth control.
Even though women are
ones who get pregnant, men
father the children and unless
theyre really irresponsible
certainly they can walk away,
but most men dont the de-
cision of when and how to have
children and how to support
them is certainly mutual.
May rejects suggestions that
sexism held up development of
the male pill. Rather, the sci-
ence has proven elusive.
Surveys show that men
would certainly be willing to
share responsibility for contra-
ception, and the risks and the
side effects if they were toler-
able. But up to this point, there
hasnt really been a pill that has
shown itself to be tolerable and
reasonable.
Other reasons for a male pill
are increased protection if both
partners use birth control, pro-
tection if the woman cant toler-
ate birth control, and more
narrowly a means of thwart-
ing incidents of she tricked
me, as well as giving high-pro-
le athletes or celebrities an ex-
planation for how an alleged pa-
ternity cant be linked to them.
The bottom line, of course,
comes down to the bottom line.
Georg and Tash are ready to talk
to the Food and Drug Adminis-
tration about clinical testing,
which is a huge nancial under-
taking. Shes curious how their
non-hormonal approach will be
received, but optimistic.
I grew up in the 60s, when
the Pill rst appeared, Georg
said of her early interest in con-
traception. You wouldnt think
youd want to burden all the
women that men should be
able to participate, as well.
At long last, a Pill for men?

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: My
husband and I read
the letter you ran on
Dec. 21 from Date-
less in Dayton. We
have a few thoughts
on the matter wed
like to share with
him and anyone else who is having
bad luck getting responses on dating
websites.
We are middle-aged and have been
together for two years. Even though
we deactivated our memberships in
the dating sites we were part of, we
still get emails daily that So-and-So
sent you a mes-sage. It appears these
sites still show our profiles as active,
allowing people to try to contact
us. So its entirely possible that the
women Dateless has contacted were
inactive or expired members who
were never able to see his messages.
We would like to reassure Date-
less that the problem may not be
him. We would also like to encourage
him not to give up on finding a mate.
He needs to get out there and do the
things he loves because he may end
up meeting someone that way. If he
covers all his bases and is himself,
hell do OK.
Hoping to Be Helpful,
Huntsville, Ala.
Dear Helpful: Many readers wrote
to point out that the problem
Dateless is experiencing could
be more about the idiosyncratic
subscription rules on some dating
websites than about the writer or
the women he is contacting. Other
experienced users shared their
stories:
Dear Abby: How long does one
have to wait before determining the
person isnt interested or just hasnt
had the chance to respond? Many
sites offer a simple button push that
sends a message saying you are not
interested. It appears people are sim-
ply taking the easy way out without
any concern for others. And unfor-
tunately, this doesnt happen only in
online dating.
David in St. Louis
Dear Abby: Id like to suggest
that Dateless consider that many
people dont check their dating
site often or ever. I signed up
on a site in August and stopped
looking at it in October. Then I forgot
my password and could never look
again.
Over It in Tampa
Dear Abby: Sadly for Dateless,
many of us women who are also
attempting online dating have
learned the hard way that any re-
sponse can quickly encourage a stalk-
er who emails us or sends instant
messages relentlessly.
I consider myself to be a courte-
ous person with Midwestern values,
and I tried (initially) to politely
respond to everyone one way or
the other. It became exhausting
because many of the men I sent a
polite no, thank you to began de-
manding explanations, taking my
reply as a maybe or insulting me
for being stuck-up (and the com-
munication quickly grew uglier
from there).
So please tell Dateless that its
nothing personal were just trying
to avoid drama.
Pam in Phoenix

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The
stars will challenge you to bring
a greater degree of organization
to the picture. It will be impor-
tant to get it together today,
because tomorrow youll have a
wider audience.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You
give and give. It will be tempt-
ing to think, When is it my turn
to be the one who is given to?
Youll know when its your turn,
and until then, keep right on
giving.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You value
promptness. When its not easy
for you to get places on time,
thats a sign for you to back off
from your crazy schedule and
get in control of your minutes.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Its not
necessary that all of your devic-
es be powered and ready 24/7.
Find the off switch. You could
start a trend: people talking into
one anothers eyeballs.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The arena
that opens up will be competitive
to say the least. Be on the look-
out for opportunities to demon-
strate courage and loyalty or to
speak up about what you believe.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The
situation youre in is physically
different from what it was yes-
terday. Tune in to your surround-
ings. If youre going to make this
scene work for you, adjustments
will have to be made.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When
things arent going the way you
would prefer, sometimes the
best solution is to get distance.
Escape to a place that is far
enough away that all will fade
into the background of your
mind.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Youll
bring the gift of small surprises
to those lucky enough to be
around you today. Youll inject
humor into a dry environment or
add entertainment to a boring
scene.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Go
slowly. Its better to be cautious
now, checking and double-check-
ing your work. Assume there will
be a few mistakes, and actively
try to find them.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You
will be like a great painter, using
color as emotion. Only the colors
you choose wont come from
paint. Your clothing and other
items of your choosing will proj-
ect what you are feeling.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Sometimes people dont call
when they are supposed to or
respond when its appropriate to
do so. This is actually an oppor-
tunity for you to get some much-
needed peace and quiet.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Theres
hard work to do, and youll be
busy all day. The evening fea-
tures a bit of strange magic in
which you are both the magician
and the amazed audience
member.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (March 12).
Consistency of behavior is not
to be underestimated now. What
youre doing with your life is
important. So be intentional. May
brings an interesting twist in the
plot of your life story. June deliv-
ers the money youve waited for.
What is your special contribu-
tion? You make it big in July.
The love you feel will be recipro-
cated. Your lucky numbers are:
5, 44, 29, 14 and 22.
