WILKES-BARRE Tikva

Chlamovitch Jeral was just a

little girl when friends of her
parents pushed her through a
small opening in the barbed
wire fence in the ghetto of Kov-
no, Lithuania, in 1944.
Waiting on the other side of
the fence were Adomas and
Brone Gecevicius, Catholics
who would take Jeral into their
home and raise her with their
other two children.
Jerals natural parents Yo-
sef and Asya Chlamovitch
would never see their only child
again. They would be killed by
the Nazis soon after two of
more than 6 million Jews mur-
dered under Adolf Hitlers re-
gime during World War II.
Jeral, now 71, told her story
to more than 400 Wyoming
Valley West Middle School stu-
dents Tuesday at the Jewish
Community Center.
I got out and I survived, she
said. I was lucky very lucky.
Lucky in the sense she lived
to grow up, marry, have chil-
dren and grandchildren and
friends and to work. But she
doesnt remember her parents;
she doesnt remember that aw-
ful time when she was hidden in

Conclaves first day ends
without a chosen pontiff
Black smoke signals no new pope
Five years ago an Arizona
prosecutor issued a dire warn-
ing:
Jessie Con-Ui was a danger-
ous man, Maricopa County As-
sistant District Attorney Ryan
Green said, who would likely for-
ever remain a danger to society.
Green had no way to know
then, but it appears he was right.
Con-Ui, anxious to earn full
membership in New Mexican
Maa gang, had devised a plan
to lure a fellow gang member
and friend, Carlos Garcia, to a
Phoenix laundromat on Aug.
25, 2002. There, two associates
ambushed and killed Garcia in
a hail of bullets, according to a
pre-sentence report Green pre-
pared after Con-Uis guilty 2008
plea to rst-degree murder.
Now Con-Ui, 36, has allegedly
killed again.
F e d e r a l
authorities
have named
Con-Ui as
the suspect
in the bru-
tal beating
and stab-
bing death
of guard Eric Williams of Nanti-
coke at the Federal Correctional
Institution at Canaan on Feb. 25,
according to court records. No
charges have been led yet, but
two attorneys were appointed
Monday to represent him in the
potential death penalty case.
Con-Ui was at Canaan serving
an 11-year prison sentence for
a separate, 2003 guilty plea for
his role in a wide-scale drug ring
run by the New Mexican Maa.
He also had extensive involve-
ment with Arizona state court.

Ui as a serial offender willing

VATICAN CITY The rst
day of a secretive Vatican con-
clave ended Tuesday with black
smoke billowing out of the Sis-
tine Chapel chimney, signaling
that cardinals had yet to decide
on a new pope.
Smoke emerged shortly af-
ter 7:40 p.m. in Italy before the
large crowd assembled in St. Pe-
ters Square to watch the specta-
cle. Giant screens were installed
to allow them to have a better
view of the small chimney high
above them.
The smoke is produced by the
burning of the cardinals ballots,
with chemicals added to alter its
color. Whereas black means an
inconclusive vote, white smoke
is used when a new leader for

David Morgan, who was badly hurt in a crash while on duty in
Kuwait, is honored along with Joe Clark
PLAINS TWP. Wilkes-Barre
Mayor Tom Leighton promised David
Morgan that he would enjoy a beer be-
fore the end of St. Patricks Day.
While serving in the U.S. Navy Mili-
tary Police in Kuwait in 2009, Morgan,
38, suffered a traumatic brain injury.
On Tuesday, Leighton and his staff
surprised Morgan with an invitation
to serve as one of two Wilkes-Barre St.
Patricks Day Parade grand marshals.
Morgan, now a resident of the Vet-
erans Administration Community Liv-
ing Center, Plains Township, was on
active duty in Kuwait when he and his
partner, Brian Patton, were in a vehi-
cle accident that took Pattons life and
left Morgan severely disabled.
Last year, some time after St. Pat-
ricks Day, Leighton said he was visit-
ing the VA Hospital when he met Mor-
gan, a Wilkes-Barre native.
Leighton learned that Morgan looks
forward to the Irish holiday every
year. Last year, Morgan was unable to
attend and Leighton said he got the
idea to appoint him as grand marshal
for this Saturdays parade.
Morgan, though conned to a
wheelchair, communicates with hand
signals and subtle expressions that his
mother and father, Peggy and Charles,
have grown keen to during the last
three and a half years.
In the living center Tuesday, sur-
rounded by ashing cameras, Peggy
and Charles doted over their son who
smiled wide-eyed as Leighton present-
ed himwith the ceremonial shillelagh,
an Irish club or stick, and expressed
his appreciation for his sacrice.

RICE TWP. Police say the
former acting treasurer of the
Rice Township Volunteer Fire
Department wrote thousands of
dollars worth of checks to him-
self for department purchases
that he never made and kept
the money.
Police began an investiga-
tion after township Supervi-
sor Chairman Miller Stella
complained to them about a
possible theft from the depart-
ment checking account, noting
that multiple checks were
written out to Donald Bly for
re department equipment,
but there was no record of the
equipment.
Stella told police that Bly,
who had been the acting de-
partment treasurer, refused to
turn over the checking account
books to the department.
Police said they learned from
Citizens Bank that eight checks
totaling $4,395.43 had been
written out to Bly between
June and December.
When questioned by police
on Jan. 9, Bly said he had writ-
ten out the checks to himself
and cashed them to make pur-
chases for the re department,
but that he had no receipts,
that some of the purchases
were never made and that he
still had that money, which he
said he was going to put back
into the department checking
account, according to court
papers.
Bly did not bring the account
records to the interview with
him, nor did he return with
them as he told police he
would, police said.
New department treasurer
Paul Eyerman told police on
Jan. 16 that he met with Bly
and that Bly turned over the
departments checking and
nancial books, but no cur-
rent accounting record was
included.
Bly, 31, of Nuangola, was
charged on Thursday with theft
by deception/false impression.
NANTICOKE A Freeland
man faces a slew of charges
after he allegedly took his chil-
dren for a ride in their mothers
car without her permission
after he had been drinking, ac-
cording to court papers.
Police said they were notied
by Melissa Stanton on Mon-
day that her former boyfriend
and the father of her children,
Daniel Scholl, was watching
the children for about an hour
while she was attending a class
at Luzerne County Community
College and, upon returning
home, found Scholl, her chil-
dren and the car missing and
an empty bottle of liquor.
She called Scholl on his
cellphone and he sounded
intoxicated and told her he was
in Dallas, she told police.
The investigating ofcer
called Scholl, and Scholl al-
legedly admitted to taking the
vehicle without permission but
denied drinking. He became
uncooperative when asked for
his exact location so the ofcer
could pick up the children and
held the phone up to the car
stereo speaker, according to
court papers.
The ofcer ended the call
and started tracking Scholl by
his cellphone location, but, in
the meantime, received a call
from Stanton informing him
that Scholl had returned to
her home. When the ofcer
arrived, Scholl kicked open the
screen door and approached
him aggressively. Scholl
resisted being handcuffed
but eventually was taken to
a hospital for a blood-alcohol
content test, court records
state.
Scholl was charged with ag-
gravated assault, unauthorized
use of an auto, resisting arrest,
simple assault, endangering the
welfare of children, driving un-
der the inuence and recklessly
endangering another person.
He was arraigned before Dis-
trict Judge Donald Whittaker.
At Mondays meeting, fre-
quent critic Sam Troy queried
Wilkes-Barre Area School board
members about efforts to save
money, and ultimately stormed
out unsatised, telling them
You people should be ashamed
of yourselves, all of you.
But before he left, the board
offered Troy and anyone else
a chance to provide input
and suggestions as a budget for
2013-14 is fashioned: The Bud-
get and Finance Committee will
hold a public meeting tonight at
5 at the administration building,
730 S. Main St.
The district has started its
annual budget process with
multimillion-dollar shortfalls
for years, and this year is likely
to be no exception.
But board members have
voiced a growing reluctance
to raise taxes, so much so that
lasts springs preliminary bud-
get, usually rubber stamped
under the assumption it would
change before nal approval,
was initially rejected primarily
because of a tax increase.
The board has already agreed
to stay at or below a state-set
limit of a 2.4 percent tax in-
crease. The limit, known as
the Act 1 index, is set annually
for each district. To exceed it,
a district must either get voter
approval through a referendum
or seek special exemptions from
the state.
Even as the board announced
the public budget meeting, it
was grappling with unexpected
costs.
Along with approving a
$215,304 contract for repairs
to the Plains/Solomon arti-
cial track that they feel should
be under warranty, the board
approved a $259,986 contract
with Yannuzzi Inc. in Hazleton
to x a long-festering prob-
lem with air conditioning and
moisture in the auditorium
at GAR High School. In both
cases, members asked where
the money would come from.
Business Manager Leonard
Przywara said there should be
enough in a capital funds bud-
get to cover those costs.
The board approved a con-
tract with the Luzerne Inter-
mediate Unit for special educa-
tion services at an estimated
cost of $844,573, and approved
several technology contracts:
telecommunication services to
Ironton Global Service Electric
Telephone at a cost of $10,536
per month, wireless network
services to Integra Business
center at $314,077, Internet
upgrades to Penn TeleData at
a total of $29,200 a month, and
networking equipment pur-
chases worth $4,228 to ePlus
Technology Inc.
Much of the tech spending is
expected to be covered by the
federal e-Rate program, created
specically to offset costs of
technology upgrades in schools
and libraries.
The board also made the fol-
lowing hires Monday: Catherine
Hoskins and Brenda Maurer as
para professionals for 32.5 hours
per week; Gloria Watson as lock-
er room aid, Dominique Carter
as bus aid; James Butterwick as
elementary art teacher
Wendy Girmen as special edu-
cation teacher, and three basket-
ball coaches at Meyers Junior/
Senior High School
Dale Rapson as assistant var-
sity boys coach, James McGavin
as junior high boys head coach,
and Shawn Walker as junior
high boys assistant coach.
Elmy cast the lone no vote,
against Brenda Maurer, who
was given a position Elmy has
publicly said he wanted his wife
to have.

Luzerne County Council
members voted Tuesday to come
up with work force standards
they want negotiated into future
union contracts.
County Manager Robert Law-
ton suggested council set targets
for health-care contributions,
the number of days off and other
benets because six of the coun-
tys 10 union agreements expire
Dec. 31.
New contracts must be negoti-
ated with unionized assistant dis-
trict attorneys/public defenders,
prison workers, the rank-and-le
residual unit and children-and-
youth, aging and mental-health
employees.
Lawton said the administra-
tion will use councils standards
as a guide, though he cautioned
it may take several rounds of con-
tracts to implement all changes.
Several council members have
expressed interest in Council-
man Stephen A. Urbans propos-
al to start converting the work
force to 20-percent health-care
contributions. Non-union work-
ers have been paying 10 percent
for nine years, and union em-
ployees pay at monthly contri-
butions or 10 percent.
Council agreed its strategic
initiatives committee will devel-
op proposed standards for coun-
cils approval.
County Ethics Commission
Chairwoman Margaret Hogan
also discussed concerns about
the county ethics code during
Tuesdays meeting.
Commission and council rep-
resentatives have been working
on proposed code changes.
Hogan asked council to con-
sider a legal analysis of the code
because attorneys, including
some who work for the county,
have raised objections about
code wording and procedures.
Local attorney Kim Borland,
for example, has questioned
the legality of the commission
serving as both prosecutor and
judge. Borland represents a cli-
ent accused of soliciting private
funeral home business while
serving as a deputy coroner.
An ethics code and commis-
sion are required by home rule.
Council members agreed to fur-
ther discuss the code at a future
meeting and did not vote on the
commissions request for a legal
review.
Councilwoman Elaine Mad-
don Curry said there are real
holes in the ethics complaint
procedure that must be ad-
dressed.
Several citizens expressed
disappointment in the commis-
sion and urged council to initiate
changes.
Lawton told council he will
soon present a plan to sell coun-
ty-owned property, including
the former Valley Crest Nursing
Home in Plains Township and
a downtown Hazleton building
that had been purchased by a
prior administration for a south-
ern county annex that never ma-
terialized.
The home rule charter re-
quires council approval on the
sale of property.
Councilman Edward Bromins-
ki reviewed a stack of complaints
during the meeting, including a
concern that the insurance com-
pany selected to provide a bond
for Lawton did not meet rating
standards specied in a docu-
ment seeking a county insurance
broker.
Brominski also said he re-
ceived a complaint that the judi-
cial services and records division
failed to respond to an outside
request for information.

Plymouth council president steps down
PLYMOUTH Mayor Dor-
othy Petrosky broke the tie at
Tuesday nights meeting to ac-
cept Councilman Frank Cough-
lins resignation as council
president.
Coughlin resigned the post
for personal reasons but did
not elaborate and will retain
his seat on council. His re-
placement wasnt chosen and
the meeting was chaired by
Councilman Ron Kobusky, who
serves as vice president.
Councilmembers Bill Dixon,
Clif Madrak and Tom McTague
voted against Coughlin step-
ping down, and Al Petcavage,
Kobusky and Coughlin voted
in favor.
In other business, council:
Responded to complaints
that Borough Solicitor Mike
Kostelansky doesnt attend
councils regular monthly meet-
ings.
Coughlin said its been the
practice as long as he has been
on council for Kostelansky to
attend only if needed. Kobusky
added Kostelansky is paid a
$2,000 yearly retainer to be
available to council on a 24/7
schedule.
He is paid on an hourly basis
for any legal work needed. The
amount was not available at the
meeting.
Said it will not add two
new sergeants positions in the
boroughs police department
at this time. Kobusky said
Kostelansky advised against
opening up the contract be-
tween the borough and police
unless it is an emergency and
that it was better to wait until
the current contract expired.
The positions would be pro-
motions and not additional of-
cers.
Dupont audit reveals starting decit
DUPONT Michael Fiorelli,
the CPA contracted by the bor-
ough for auditing services, pre-
sented the 2012 audit results
to the council and residents in
attendance at Tuesdays regular
council meeting.
The audit revealed that while
the borough was able to pay its
bills in 2012, it did so utilizing
bank loans as well as the munici-
pal sewer and refuse funds. This
has resulted in Dupont starting
out 2013 with a $132,000 decit
in its general fund.
Council Chairman Stanley
Knick Jr. acknowledged the
amount and said he believed the
total decit would be closer to
$70,000 by the end of the cur-
rent year.
Councilman Bernie Zielinski
said he thought the gure could
be further reduced by raising
fees on services and goods pro-
vided by the borough, such as
garbage bags.
Fiorelli said the debt is largely
due to the recent spate of equip-
ment and infrastructure im-
provements that the borough
has undertaken.
He said the boroughs nan-
cial status is better now than
it was several years ago, and is
poised to improve due to the
capital and infrastructure im-
provements.
In other matters, the council
voted unanimously to amend an
ordinance regarding trash col-
lection. Dupont residents are
now permitted to place their
trash bags out for collection a
maximum of only 24 hours be-
fore the scheduled collection
day.
Although he was unable to
provide an exact amount, Knick
estimated that a ne for repeat
offenses might be roughly $15
or $20.
The move is in response to
repeated complaints from resi-
dents that bags left out for long
periods of time are occasion-
ally being torn open by animals,
leading to litter and foul odors.

Ashley buys new dump truck
ASHLEY Borough Coun-
cil voted unanimously Tuesday
to buy a 2013 dump truck from
E.M. Kutz Co. for $32,171.
The funds for this purchase
were previously allocated in the
current budget.
In other business:
*Council adopted an ordi-
nance that outlines a property
owners responsibility for all va-
cant and bank-owned properties
in the borough.
*Several residents expressed
concern regarding alleged slow
or absent police response times
to several chronic issues in the
borough including illegal park-
ing and speeding.
Council President Joe Gor-
ham told residents he would
look into the allegations but
that recent documented police
logs show a marked increase in
the number and alacrity of the
departments responses.
Gorham praised the depart-
ment for the quality of their ser-
vice.

United Way applauds PPL
P
atrick Ward, president and CEO of
the United Way of Greater Hazleton,
said PPL and its local employees gave
$106,397 to the United Way in the past
year, including a $15,000 contribution
through the Earned Income Tax Credit
program.
Once again, were gratied by the
overwhelming support we received from
PPL, said Ward. The employees and
the company have been major support-
ers of our United Way going all the way

In Hazleton and Schuylkill counties,
PPL consistently is among the United
Ways top contributors to the annual giv-
ing campaigns. Companywide, PPL, its
employees and retirees give $2 million
each year to the United Way agencies
throughout PPLs service territories.
In addition to monetary contributions,
PPL employees volunteer hundreds of
hours at the many agencies the United

agencys Day of Caring, during which
volunteers from organizations such as
PPL visit United Way member agencies
and other places throughout the com-

HARRISBURG
School safety on agenda
Because a Feb. 13 joint state Senate
hearing on school safety raised many
questions about emergency planning in
child care centers, buses and colleges,
a second hearing will be held today to

Job Corps hearing held
U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Scranton,
chairman of the Senate Health, Educa-

on Employment and Workplace Safety,
released the following statement after
holding a hearing Tuesday on the Job
Corps budget shortfall:
Jobs Corps plays a critical role in
helping at-risk youth to be competitive
in the workforce. While the Depart-
ment of Labor has provided some
insight into the budgetary gap, more
needs to be done to rectify the inad-
equate nancial management of this
valuable program. We should not allow
bureaucratic mismanagement to prevent
our qualied young people from getting
the training they need to obtain good
jobs.
Casey said he called for the hearing as
a rst step in providing a measure of ac-
countability at the Department of Labor
for recent shortfalls.
The department recently announced
an enrollment freeze at Job Corps Pro-
grams around the country, which Casey
said will cost 400 jobs in Pennsylvania
and prohibit the ability of at-risk youth
to receive critical job training skills.
Pennsylvania has four Job Corps sites
in the state, including one in Butler
Township, that provide disadvantaged
youth with skills needed to secure a
good job, enter the Armed Services or
further their educations.

Citys need for smartphones questioned
WILKES-BARRE Coun-
cilwoman Maureen Lavelle on
Tuesday questioned the need
for so many smartphones in
use by city employees.
Lavelle said she is con-
cerned about the cost to the
city to reimburse employees
for their cellphone usage.
Especially here at City
Hall. These employees have
phones in their ofces and
computers. If they need to talk
to another employee, they can
call on their ofce phone or
send an email. Why do we
need to have smartphones?
Lavelle asked.
Mayor Tom Leighton and
City Administrator Marie Mc-
Cormick said the employees
with the smartphones are sel-
domin their ofces. They said
the employees work out of the
ofce a lot, and with email on
their phone, they can receive
messages and emails much
more quickly.
And when I send out an
email, I can reach all of the
employees at the same time,
no matter where they are,
McCormick said. We have
dropped many cellphones and
weve downgraded others.
Leighton said a select group
of employees have the smart-
phones.
It increases the efciency,
he said.
Earlier this month, about
three months after a Times
Leader analysis of city cell-
phone bills raised questions
about cost and possible
abuse, city ofcials canceled
the plans in lieu of a stipend
system they expect will save
more than $13,000 a year.
Stipends were divided
into two categories: $40 per
month for employees who
were deemed to need only
a basic cellphone with talk/
text, and $80 a month for em-
ployees who were deemed to
need a smartphone with talk/
text and data, which will al-
low them to access email and
the Internet.
The city has approved 11
employees for the $40 stipend,
at a cost $5,280 per year, and
17 for the $80 stipend, at a
cost of $16,320 per year, for
a total of $21,600. Records
show the city paid for 60 city-
owned cellphones in 2012, at

UGI ends
appeal
to delight
of some
By JON OCONNELL
joconnell@timesleader.com
End of planned compressor
station in West Wyoming
credited to opponents efforts.
WEST WYOMING Con-
cerned borough residents and
ofcials can breathe a deep sigh
of relief now that a natural gas
company has decided not to pur-
sue an appeal for permission to
install a compressor station in
the borough.
UGI Energy Services Inc. rep-
resentatives informed borough
council Monday that they will
not seek to overturn the ruling
that restricts the company from
constructing the station.
Council President Eileen
Cipriani said opponents efforts
to stop the plans paid off. Were
very excited. We tried very hard
to keep this from happening,
Cipriani said Tuesday.
The companys original instal-
lation plans were denied by the
Luzerne County
Zoning Hearing
Board and, ac-
cording Cipriani,
the rst steps
of an appeal fol-
lowed.
A l t h o u g h
some Luzerne
County municipalities have
their own zoning boards, the
county handles zoning matters
for others, including West Wyo-
ming, Cipriani said. During the
process, the council has had to
express its wishes through the
hearing board.
When this thing happened, it
wasnt really up to us, Cipriani
said. They had presented the
board with a list of conditions
to be met by the company if the
board were to approve the sta-
tions construction, she said.
At the end of the day, it was
really up to the county, and they
denied it, she said.
Community and council con-
cerns centered on emissions that
compressor stations produce,
said Cipriani, but she also said
a number of chemicals would be
stored on site and the amount
of timber-clearing needed could
have posed a sediment problem.
Compressor stations are
placed strategically along gas
pipelines to keep the gas mov-
ing.
Representatives from UGI En-
ergy Services were not available
for comment Tuesday.
The company initially had
cited possible benets of the sta-
tion such as improved services
to the region and the potential
to connect to the existing pipe-
line, known as the Auburn Line,
The May 21 primary election race for
Luzerne County Council is expected to
be subdued because only one candidate
wont land a nomination.
Six Republicans and ve Democrats
led nomination petitions to run by
Tuesdays deadline. Voters from each
party will choose ve candidates to ad-
vance to the general election.
The county controller primary con-
test might be more charged because
two candidates are running against
each other on each partys ticket.
On the Democratic side, county
Councilman Stephen A. Urban, of
Wilkes-Barre, will compete against Mi-
chelle Bednar, a Conyngham Township
tax collector and nancial securities
company ofce manager.
Incumbent Controller Walter Grifth,
Kingston Township, will face fellow Re-
publican Karen Ceppa-Hirko, a tax ac-
countant from Wilkes-Barre.
The following Demo-
crats led nomination
petitions in the county
council race: incumbent
Linda McClosky Houck,
Kingston; Renee Ciaruf-
foli-Taffera, Larksville; Eileen Sorokas,
Wilkes-Barre; Richard Kick Heffron,
Dallas; and Michael Giamber, Fair-
mount Township.
The six Republican council contend-
ers are: Sue Rossi, Butler Township;
Alex Milanes, Wilkes-Barre Township;
Kathy Dobash, Hazleton; Paul DeFabo,
Wilkes-Barre; and incumbents Eugene
Kelleher, Dallas Township, and Harry
Haas, Kingston.
Two other named Republican con-
tenders Joyce Dombroski-Gebhardt
and Michael Lacey did not le peti-
tions.
The council race will heat up before
November because voters can choose
ve candidates from any political party
in the general election. In addition to
the 10 candidates who make it through
the primary, Independent and third-par-
ty contenders probably will be added to
the mix.
Independent and third-party candi-
dates may enter the race after the May
primary if they collect at least 633 sig-
natures, according to the election of-
ce.
Councilman Rick Williams, an Inde-
pendent, said he is considering seeking
another term.
Elaine Maddon Curry, the remaining
council member in an expiring seat,
opted against seeking re-election.
The ve council members elected in
November will serve with six council
members in seats that dont expire un-
til the end of 2015: Edward Brominski,
Jim Bobeck, Rick Morelli, Tim McGin-
ley, Stephen J. Urban and Stephen A.
Urban.
If Stephen A. Urban wins a controller
seat, council chooses someone to serve
the rest of his council term, according
Woman gets probation for looting during 2011 ood
WILKES-BARRE
Brenda Wolfe, 30, lost her
composure Tuesday in the
courtroom before her case
came before Luzerne County
Judge Fred Pierantoni III.
She was escorted out of
the courtroom by a county
security ofcial, and she con-
tinued to cry when her case
was ready to begin.
Her attorney, Michael
Kostelaba, grabbed a chair
in which Wolfe could sit as
Pierantoni sentenced her to
36 months in the countys In-
termediate Punishment Pro-
gram, a special probationary
sentence for rst-time, non-
violent offenders, on charges
she looted a Kingston house
during the September 2011
ood.
Wolfe pleaded with Pier-
antoni, saying she has a new-
born child to care for and had
undergone rehabilitation.
Youre taking steps to
stay positive, Pierantoni
told her.
Wolfe was sentenced on
a charge of criminal con-
spiracy to commit burglary
and was ordered to wear an
ankle bracelet for the rst
10 months of the probation
sentence.
Prosecutors withdrew
charges of burglary, theft
and receiving stolen prop-
erty against Wolfe when she
pleaded guilty to the conspir-
acy offense in January.
The charges were graded
as felonies because the crime
occurred during a state of
emergency.
Kingston police said
Wolfe, who lived on Eley
Street, Kingston, during the
ood, was entrusted by her
neighbors to let their dog
outside during the evacua-
tion of the Wyoming Valley.
Wolfe had a key to the resi-
dence and stole a at-screen
television, DVDs, a DVD
player, a video game system,
games and toys valued at
$2,680, arrest records say.
Police recovered all of the
merchandise from the resi-
dence of Christopher Wil-
son, 42, and Marie Catherine
Zuccaro, 34.
Wilson was sentenced
by Pierantoni to 36 months
in the special probation
program with the rst 10
months on house arrest. Zuc-
caro is scheduled to be sen-
tenced on March 26.

The race for Wilkes-Barre Area
School Board drew the most in-
terest among Luzerne Countys
11 school districts, a review of
nominating petitions led by
Tuesdays 4:30 deadline sug-
gested.
The ofcial list of candidates
likely wont be available until Fri-
day, and with a crowded eld of
local ofces this year, it appears
several petitions were not pro-
vided when The Times Leader
asked to review them. For exam-
ple, there were no candidates for
Northwest Area, where four in-
cumbent seats are up for re-elec-
tion, yet Board President Randy
Tomasacci who is not one of
those up for re-election said it
was his understanding all four in-
cumbents had led to run again.
But of those petitions reviewed
at the countys election bureau,
Wilkes-Barre Area had the most
candidates: 10 people competing
for four open seats.
Anthony Thom-
as who said he
is no relation to for-
mer Wilkes-Barre
City Councilman
Tony Thomas led the last
school board petition Tuesday,
just minutes before the deadline.
Thomas led to run only as a
Democrat, while James OMeara,
of Plains Township, led to run
for Wilkes-Barre Area School
Board as a Republican.
The lone incumbent in the pile
of paperwork provided at the elec-
tion Bureau Tuesday was Chris-
tine Katsock, who cross-led and
will appear on both ballots, along
with Barry Matthews, Kathleen
Grinaway, Ned Evans, Denise
Thomas, Joseph Caffrey, Joseph
Bernardo, and Leonard Cornish.
Cornish has been a frequent
critic of the districts failure to
recruit minority teachers.
Here are the candidates peti-
tions found for other districts.
Four seats are open in all but
Greater Nanticoke Area, where
there are ve seats available. All
candidates cross-led unless oth-
erwise noted.
Crestwood: The lone petition
in the pile was for Maureen Mc-
Govern.
Dallas: Incumbent Charles
Preece.
Greater Nanticoke Area: In-
cumbents Frank Shepanski Jr.,
Gary Smith, Jeff Kozlofski, Cindy
Donlin and Bob Reineri, and Me-
gan Tennesen and Wendy Wia-
terowski.
Hanover Area: No nominat-
ing petitions were found amid
the piles provided.
Hazleton Area: Incumbents
Clarence John, Steven Hahn and
Robert Mehalick, and Thomas
Chirico, James Chapman, Jared
Michael ODonnell and Frederick
Mariano.
Lake-Lehman: One of only
two districts that elect board
members by region and of-
ten one of the least competitive
only Robin Wesleys petition
was among those provided. Wes-
ley, who is running for region
2, led near the end of the day
after learning earlier his paper-
work was not complete. He said
incumbent region 2 representa-
tive Bo Keller was not seeking
re-election.
Northwest Area: No nominat-
ing petitions were found among
those provided.
Pittston Area: Incumbents
Bruce Knick, Kent Bratlee and
Marilyn Starna led, though
Starnas petition was marked as
Democratic only. Former Mem-
ber John Adonizio led as Demo-
cratic only. Martin Quinn and
Rosanne Ricotta also led.
Wyoming Area: Incumbents
John Marianacci and John Bolin,
and John Bonin, Kimberly Yo-
chem and Michael Brown.
Wyoming Valley West: The
other district that elects by dis-
trict, paperwork only for incum-
bent Gordon Dussinger of region
5 was among those provided.

Council members receive
$8,000 annually. Council ap-
proves the budget and larger
contracts, appoints members
to outside county boards and
passes and revises the countys
ethics, personnel and adminis-
trative codes.
The council also conrms
eight division head positions
and hires and evaluates the ap-
pointed manager who handles
day-to-day operations.
Council members are in the
process of evaluating the perfor-
mance of county Manager Rob-
ert Lawton, who completed his
rst year on the job last month.
Lawtons performance is expect-
ed to be one of the key topics of
debate in the council race. Sev-
en council votes a superma-
jority would be required to
terminate a county manager.
Some county observers have
cited theories on why more can-
didates did not surface in the
council race, including lengthy
council meetings and a charter
ban forbidding council members
fromworking for any businesses
that have county contracts.
Grifths decision to run for
controller falls in line with his
insistence that he did not ille-
gally record people. The county
district attorney said the state
Attorney Generals Ofce is in-
vestigating Grifth for alleged
wiretapping. At least two sourc-
es say state investigators have
been interviewing people about
the tapes.
The county controller over-
sees audits and reviews of coun-
ty operations.
A majority of council voted to
increase the controllers salary
from $36,562 to $64,999 for the
controller elected in November.

WILKES-BARRE Nine
people have led nomination
petitions seeking to ll the
vacant seat for magisterial dis-
trict judge in the Pittston area.
The magisterial district will
be larger next year, as the state
Supreme Court last month ex-
panded it by adding the town-
ships of Jenkins and Pittston,
and Yatesville borough to the
city of Pittston and the bor-
oughs of Avoca, Dupont, Dur-
yea and Hughestown.
Realignment of the district
takes effect on June 1.
Candidates who led
nomination petitions for the
Pittston-based district judge
seat are: Arthur Bobbouine of
Pittston, attorney Alexandra
Kokura of Dupont, attorney
Jeffrey C. Kulick of Pittston, at-
torney Quiana Murphy Lehm-
an of Pittston, attorney Girard
Mecadon of Jenkins Township,
James OBrien of Pittston, at-
torney Len Sanguedolce of
Pittston, attorney Mark Singer
of Pittston and James OBrien
of Pittston.
All the candidates have
cross-led to be on both the
Democratic and Republican
ballots for the primary elec-
tions on May 21.
The two who receive the
most party votes will square off
in the Nov. 5 general election.
Mecadon was permitted to
enter the primary campaign
after Michael Butera, solicitor
for the Luzerne County Bureau
of Elections, said that the per-
son elected to ll the vacant
seat will take ofce on Jan. 1,
2014. By that time, Mecadons
hometown of Jenkins Town-
ship will be in the magisterial
district.
The seat became vacant
when Fred Pierantoni III was
elected to the county Court
of Common Pleas in the 2011
general election.
Senior District Judge An-
drewBarilla has been presiding
over cases during the vacancy.
Two district judges whose
seats are open this year will
face no opposition. No one
led petitions to challenge in-
cumbents Michael Dotzel in
Wilkes-Barre Township and Jo-
seph Zola in Hazleton.
District judges are elected
to six-year terms and are paid
$86,639 a year.

LOS ANGELES The Curios-
ity rover has answered a key question
about Mars: The red planet in the past
had some of the right ingredients need-
ed to support primitive life.
The evidence comes from a chemical
analysis by Curiosity, which last month
exed its robotic arm to drill into a
ne-grained, veiny rock and then test
the powder.
Curiosity is the rst spacecraft sent
to Mars that could collect a sample
from deep inside a rock, and scientist
said Tuesday that they hit pay dirt with
that rst rock.
We have found a habitable environ-
ment that is so benign and supportive
of life that probably if this water was
around and you had been on the planet,
you would have been able to drink it,
said chief scientist John Grotzinger of
the California Institute of Technology.
The rover made a dramatic seven-
minutes-of-terror landing last August
near the planets equator. A key task:
Find out if ancient Mars ever had con-
ditions favorable for microscopic organ-
isms.
The car-size rover is not equipped
to detect microbes, living or extinct. It
can only use its onboard laboratories to
examine Martian rocks to determine
the kind of environment they might
have lived in.
The analysis showed the rock con-
tained clay minerals that formed in a
watery environment. It also had traces
of sulfur, nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen,
phosphorus and simple carbon es-
sential chemical ingredients for life.
Unlike some places on Mars, scien-
tists said the ancient water at the site
appeared to be neutral and not too salty.
NEW YORK A New York
City police ofcer was convicted
Tuesday of charges he plotted to
kidnap and cook women to dine
on their girl meat a macabre
case that subjected jurors to often
gory evidence and asked them to
separate fantasy from reality.
The Manhattan jury reached
the verdict in federal court at the
kidnapping conspiracy trial of Of-
cer Gilberto Valle, a 28-year-old
father with an admitted fetish for
talking on the Internet about can-
nibalism.
Valles lawyers, at what the tab-
loids dubbed
the Cannibal
Cop trial,
chose not to
hide what
they called his
weird proclivi-
ties. But they
insisted that he
was just fanta-
sizing and not-
ed that none of the women were
ever harmed.
Valle bowed his head and
looked teary-eyed when the ver-
dict was announced. He hugged
his lawyer, Julia Gatto, who said
later that she and Valle had been
crying.
Its a devastating verdict for us.
We poured our hearts and souls
into this, Gatto said of a defense
team that all dropped their heads
when the verdict was announced.
The jury was unable to get
past the thoughts, Gatto said.
Obviously, the case involved
thoughts that were unusual and
bizarre and frankly very ugly.
She called it a dangerous pros-
ecution when we start opening
our minds and prosecuting whats
in our brains and not whats in the
real world.
U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara
said in a statement: Today, a
unanimous jury found that Gil-
berto Valles detailed and specic
plans to abduct women for the
purpose of committing grotesque
crimes were very real, and that
he was guilty as charged. The
Internet is a forum for the free
exchange of ideas, but it does
not confer immunity for plotting
crimes and taking steps to carry
out those crimes.
Valle faces up to life in prison
when he is sentenced on June 19.
With the conviction, he loses his
job as a police ofcer.
The defense team said it would
ask the judge to set aside the
verdict. Defense attorney Robert
Baum said the verdict set a dan-
gerous precedent.
People can be prosecuted for
their thoughts and convicted, he
said.
Prosecutors countered that an
analysis of Valles computer found
he was taking concrete steps to
abduct his wife and at least ve
other women he knew.

Plea entered for Holmes
T
he judge in the deadly Colorado
movie theater shooting case
entered a not guilty plea on behalf of
James Holmes on Tuesday after the
former graduate students defense
team said he was not ready to enter
one.
If Holmes is convicted, he could be
executed or spend the rest of his life in
prison. Judge William Sylvester said
Holmes, 25, can change his plea to not
guilty by reason of insanity later, if he
chooses.
The judge set Aug. 5 for the start
of the trial. Prosecutors and defense
attorneys declined comment.
WASHINGTON
Senators sour on new IDs
Senators working on a bipartisan
immigration bill are likely abandoning
the idea of requiring a new high-tech
federal ID for workers because its too
expensive.
Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of
South Carolina says cost estimates for
the biometric ID card he favors came
in higher than expected.
The card was intended as a way to
ensure employers dont hire illegal
workers.
Graham says no nal decisions have
been made but that the group is look-
ing at other options instead.
Outside experts say that likely
means expanding an existing system
called E-Verify that employers can use
to check the legal status of prospective
workers.
NEW YORK
Mayor: Soda ruling no biggie
Eateries from corner delis to movie
concession stands have gotten a last-
minute reprieve from the nations rst
ban on big sugary drinks.
But Mayor Michael Bloomberg is
urging them to shrink their cups and
bottles anyway.
After a judge struck down the
16-ounce size limit for sodas and some
other sweet drinks as arbitrary and
outside city health regulators pur-
view, Bloomberg defended it Tuesday
as a groundbreaking anti-obesity effort
that would prevail on appeal and is
already beginning to change attitudes
and actual practices.
Despite yesterdays temporary
setback, I dont think theres any doubt
that momentum is moving in our
direction, Bloomberg said during a
visit to a Manhattan diner that is now
voluntarily complying with the policy,
ditching 20-ounce bottles of soda and
reserving 24-ounce to-go cups for iced
coffee.
WASHINGTON
U.S. decit shrinking
The annual federal budget decit is
sinking out of $1 trillion-plus nose-
bleed territory where it has hovered
for the past four years.
Government borrowing has
dropped to roughly 25 cents for every
dollar it spends, down from more than
40 cents-per-dollar spent a few years
ago.
Tax receipts are rising and spending
is moderating.
For once, the governments nancial
shape is actually improving and will
get better still over the next few years
as the U.S. economy continues to pull
itself slowly out of the worst recession
since the 1930s.
But unless a long-term legislative x
can be found, the economy will soon

GOP budget would cut Obamacare, Medicaid, change Medicare
WASHINGTON House
Republicans unveiled their
latest budget outline on
Tuesday, sticking to their
plans to try to repeal so-
called Obamacare, cut do-
mestic programs ranging
from Medicaid to college
grants and require future
Medicare patients to bear
more of the programs cost.
The point is to prove its
possible to balance the bud-
get within 10 years by simply
cutting spending and avoid-
ing further tax hikes, even
though the scal blueprint
released Tuesday by Budget
Committee Chairman Paul
Ryan, R-Wis., will be dead on
arrival with the White House
and Democrats controlling
the Senate.
The latest Ryan plan gen-
erally resembles prior ones,
relying on higher tax reve-
nues enacted in January and
improved Medicare cost es-
timates along with some-
what sharper spending cuts
to promise balance.
Senate Democrats plan to
offer a counterproposal to-
day with higher spending on
domestic programs and addi-
tional tax hikes on top of the
higher rates imposed on top-
bracket earners in January.
That plan will, in turn, ar-
rive as a dead letter in the
GOP-controlled House.
The partisan exercise
comes even as President
Barack Obama travels to
Capitol Hill later on Tuesday
to meet with Senate Demo-
crats in an attempt to resus-
citate his failed efforts for
bipartisanship.
On the current path, well
spend $46 trillion over the
next 10 years. Under our pro-
posal, well spend $41 tril-
lion, Ryan said in an op-ed
in the Wall St. Journal. On
the current path, spending
will increase by 5 percent
each year. Under our pro-
posal, it will increase by 3.4
percent.
Ryans plan promises to
cut the decit from $845 bil-
lion this year to $528 billion
in the 2014 budget year that
starts in October. It would
drop to $125 billion in 2015
and hover pretty much near
balance for several years be-
fore registering a $7 billion
surplus in 2023.
The White House weighed
in against the Ryan plan, say-
ing it would turn Medicare
into a voucher program and
protect the wealthy from tax
increases.

Erratic N. Korea poses serious threat, security chief says
WASHINGTON An erratic North
Korea, with its nuclear weapons and in-
creasingly belligerent tone, poses a seri-
ous threat to the United States and East
Asia nations, the director of National In-
telligence warned Tuesday in the annual
accounting of the threats worldwide.
In his extensive overview, James R.
Clapper told Congress that a less de-
centralized terrorist network has sig-
nicantly altered the threats while the
Arab Spring uprising in the Middle East
and North Africa has created spikes in
the dangers facing American interests in
the regions
The intelligence chief offered a sober
assessment of threats from potential
cyber attacks, weapons of mass de-
struction and the months-long civil war
in Syria. North Korea, Iran and Syria
stirred the most concern as the Obama
administration and Congress weigh
the effectiveness of sanctions against
Pyongyang and Tehran.
Clapper testied just days after North
Koreas communist regime said it was
scuttling the 1953 armistice that ended
the Korean War and has maintained
peace on the peninsula for more than
half a century. The administration
slapped sanctions against North Koreas
primary exchange bank and several se-
nior government ofcials.
North Korea, led by its young leader
KimJong Un, has deed the internation-
al community in the last three months,
testing a long-range missile and a third
nuclear bomb.
These programs demonstrate North
Koreas commitment to develop long-
range missile technology that could
pose a direct threat to the United States,
and its efforts to produce and market
ballistic missiles raise broader regional
and global security concerns, Clapper
said.
While the intelligence community
has gured that Pyongyangs nuclear ef-
forts are designed for deterrence, world-
wide prestige and coercive diplomacy,
Clapper conceded that that the United
States does not knowwhat would be the
trigger that would prompt North Korea
to act to preserve Kims regime.

threats the United States faces.

HARRISBURG Gov. Tom
Corbett plans to ask Attorney
General Kathleen Kanes ofce to
reverse its rejection of a contract
with a British rm to manage the
$3.5 billion Pennsylvania Lottery,
a top lawmaker said Tuesday.
Senate President Pro Tempore
Joe Scarnati said administra-
tion ofcials told him Monday
that they are making changes in
the contract with London-based
Camelot Global Services that Kane
rejected last month over concerns
that parts of it contravene the state
constitution or violate state law.
The changes are in preparation
to resubmit it for her approval,
Scarnati said.
A spokeswoman for the Depart-
ment of Revenue, which oversees
the lottery, declined comment, ex-
cept to say that certain changes to
the contract would not trigger the
need for a new round of bidding.
The spokeswoman, Elizabeth
Brassell, said the Corbett adminis-
tration would say more later this
week, once it announces its next
steps. The administration has a
Saturday deadline to appeal Kanes
decision in court.
However, the head of the union
that represents lottery employees,
David Fillman, said making chang-
es to the contract is a very dan-
gerous path because of state laws
meant to ensure a fair contracting
process.

Corbett expected to resubmit Pa. lottery deal
The Associated Press
a cost of $32,337 in 2011.
On Thursday, council will
consider a resolution to enter
into an agreement with North-
ern Tier Research for blood
alcohol and drug laboratory
services. Rates are $75 per le-
gal blood alcohol test, $125
per blood drug screen, $150
per blood screen conrmation
and $125 for evidence analysis
of unknown substance.
Leighton said Police Chief
Gerard Dessoye recommended
the company and expects to re-
alize signicant savings to the
city.
Council Vice Chairman Tony
George questioned a resolution
to execute documents relative
to the restructuring of funding
for the Northampton and Main
Project. The city decided to
not hold the prospective buyer
of University Corners Joe
Amatos TLC Holdings LLC
responsible for repaying
$500,000 loaned to the devel-
oper of the retail space in the
downtown complex.
The complex, anchored by
R/C Wilkes-Barre Movies 14,
is nearly full, except for a large
section along East Northamp-
ton Street eyed for an Irish
pub. The 21 loft condomini-
ums that make up the residen-
tial component of the complex
are not part of the deal.
The loan is half of the $1 mil-
lion in local-share state gam-
bling account grant that the
city applied for and received
from the state Department
of Economic and Commu-
nity Development in 2009 to
complete construction of the
street-level retail space interi-
ors. DCED approved splitting
the money into a grant and a
no-interest loan for William
Geary Jr., whose Los Angeles,
Calif.-based Carlsberg Proper-
ties Inc. manages University
Corners LLC. Geary has led
for personal bankruptcy in
California.
Leighton said Amatos com-
pany is not buying the prop-
erty; he is assuming the mort-
gage.

DALLAS TWP. Dallas Area
School District cheerleaders
and their parents addressed the
School Board on Monday night
regarding varsity cheerleading
coach Suzanne Powell.
Jennifer Sorber, a middle
school cheerleading coach in
the district and parent, said her
daughter was bullied by Powell,
and Sorber felt forced to protect
her from verbal taunts during
practices and games.
Im also a coach and it is im-
portant to motivate those we
coach, but there is a line we,
as coaches, do not cross, said
Sorber, saying she questioned
the appropriateness of Powell
sending text messages directly
to those she coached.
Lisa Cummings, parent of
cheerleader Aneilla Cummings,
14, said many cheerleaders were
afraid of the coach, and many
would not be going out for the
cheer team next year because of
its reputation of negativity and
drama.
Several varsity cheerleaders
Powell had coached addressed
the board indicating they had
successfully cheered under oth-
er coaches, but that Powell had
labeled themas starting drama
or not working hard enough.
Powell, who limited her com-
ments to the board, said that
it was sometimes necessary to
offer strong directives to those
she coached and cited improve-
ments in the varsity cheer team
during the 2 years during
which she had coached.
Karen Sebolka, who spoke
in defense of Powell, said, My
daughter cheered under Powell,
and although she wasnt always
happy, she learned responsibility
and respect.
Several board members laud-
ed those student cheerleaders
who spoke before them as hav-
ing courage and composure.
Parent Lisa Alves whose
daughter, Ashlie, had originally
addressed the board at a prior
meeting, said she would have
preferred to have addressed the
issues in a private forum, but
that the administration had not
responded to her request for a
meeting between administration
and parents of district cheerlead-
ers.
In another matter, a plaque
was presented in memory of
Gary Mathers, who served the
board as a teacher and a board
member.
His vision changed our tra-
ditional industrial arts program
into a technologically advanced
one, said Frank Galicki, super-
intendent.
In another matter, board
member Richard Coslett empha-
sized the boards commitment
to student security. The district
will be increasing the number
of cameras placed throughout
its buildings and will be utiliz-
ing iPads, cellphones, and other
devices allowing administration,
staff, and local police to access
the information streaming from
those cameras.
The next work session of the
Dallas School Board will be on
April 8 at 7 p.m.

nounced that a Pennsylvania De-

ve accidents each year, a sign or

resentatives that the speed limit

mental Protection.

a new recycling container will be
made available to residents once
the containers are procured by

Wife forgives husband for shooting
WILKES-BARRE Patrick
Baran and his wife, Sundee
Baran, held each other as a Lu-
zerne County judge sentenced
him to jail on Tuesday.
Sundee Baran forgave her
husband for shooting her in the
lower stomach during a violent
domestic dispute inside their
Mountain Road, Shickshinny,
home, on Jan. 9, 2012. She
asked Judge Fred Pierantoni III
for leniency for her husband,
saying they have been married
for 15 years and have known
each other for 20 years.
He is a caring, gentle man,
Sundee Baran begged the
judge.
Pierantoni appreciated her
statements but reminded her
that he did indeed shoot her.
Patrick Baran, 40, was sen-
tenced to 10 months to 23
months in the county correc-
tional facility on charges of ag-
gravated assault, followed by
36 months probation on a ter-
roristic threat charge.
It took her a lot to come
here today to speak in your de-
fense, Pierantoni told Patrick.
Patrick Baran and his wife
were allowed to hug each other
before county sheriff deputies
shackled him in the courtroom
and transported him to the
county jail to begin serving his
sentence.
State police at Shickshinny
found Patrick Baran applying
pressure to a gunshot wound to
his wifes stomach. He told in-
vestigators he was arguing with
his wife and grabbed a handgun
from a couch.
He told his wife, If you
keep this up, youre gonna get
this, and aimed the revolver
between her legs, according to
the criminal complaint.
Patrick Baran claimed his
wife swiped at the handgun and
struck the hammer, causing it
to discharge, striking Sundee
Baran in the lower abdomen.
Patrick Baran called 911 and
helped his wife until state po-
lice and paramedics arrived at
the house.
Attorney Stephen Greenwald
represented Patrick Baran.
Patrick Baran was sentenced
to 10 months to 23 months
for January 2012 shooting.

tricts articial turf to A-Turf

moval of the existing turf and
the installation of a new 10mm

ments including a sand vol-
leyball court and pavilion, two
practice elds, an ice skating
rink and a walking trail.

After the meeting, McGov-
ern said the bid for the re-
placement turf was $35,000 to
$40,000 under what the dis-
trict had expected.

for obtaining the gaming grant,
McGovern said, If it goes by
ambition and work, Im 100
per cent sure.
He said he realized that
there were many grant applica-
tions but said, Were extreme-
ly hopeful.

HAZLE TWP. A resident
renewed his call for an Attor-
ney Generals Ofce investi-
gation into what he alleged is
malfeasance at the Board of
Supervisors meeting on Mon-
day.
Richard Wienches had made
similar claims at the boards
February meeting. He voiced
a number of concerns to the
board in connection to past
closed bid practices and
alleged contractor impropri-
eties, including bid collusion
and misappropriation of con-
tracted materials.
Township Solicitor Charles
Pedri assured Wienches that
his concerns were noted and
said that his ofce has been
forthcoming in response to all
requests for information. Pedri
also said that an independent
engineering rm, the Alfred
Benesch Co., was recently
contracted to look into specic
claims leveled by Wienches.
A representative from the
engineering rm was on hand
to deliver a report disputing
any charge of impropriety or
misappropriation of materials
in regards to the specic mat-
ter it had investigated.
Pedri said Wienches con-
tinued calls for public records,
audits and investigations have
cost the township more than
$8,000 over the past severall
months.
In other business, the board:
Approved a preliminary
Land Development Plan from
The Hazleton Area School
District for the former Bishop
Haffey school building at 1700
W. 22nd St. in the township.

April 8 meeting. The vehicles
to be sold include a 1990 Inter-
national dump truck, a 1997
International dump truck and
a 1985 55CClark wheel loader.

which connects to pipelines in

As of Tuesday afternoon, Adri-
an Merolli, director of the Lu-
zerne County Planning Commis-
sion, said he had not received
word about the companys deci-
sion.
Concerning reasons behind
the hearing board members de-
cision, he said he would not com-
ment, so as not to jeopardize any
further decisions regarding the
matter; however, he said repre-
sentatives from both the county
and the borough were each given
the chance to make their cases.
The zoning hearing board
makes their decisions based on
information provided by both
parties, Merolli said.
Cipriani said the companys
withdrawal arrived before an ap-
peal hearing was scheduled.
It had appeared to her as if
it was going to be a protracted
legal situation. I believe it was
going to be a long, drawn-out ap-
peal, Cipriani said.

Under the section about the
scope of the work, the docu-
ment reads: Freeh Sporkin &
Sullivan has been engaged
to serve as an independent,
external legal counsel to the
task force to perform an in-
dependent, full and complete
investigation of the recently
publicized allegations of sexual
abuse at the facilities and the
alleged failure of The Pennsyl-
vania State University person-
nel to report such sexual abuse
to appropriate police and gov-
ernment authorities.
The investigation was to be
independent of and not inter-
fere with any parallel investi-
gation, the paperwork shows.
The work between Freeh and
the task force was to be subject
to attorney-client privilege and
attorney work-product privi-
leges unless otherwise waived.
The hourly rates that Penn
State was to pay Freeh and his
investigators were blacked out.
According to the document,
Freehs ndings were to focus
on failures in the reporting
process, the cause of those fail-
ures, who had knowledge of
the abuse and how those alle-
gations were handled by Penn
State leaders and employees.

IF YOU LIVE in the Wilkes-
Barre Area School District and
want your voice heard on next
years budget, speak up now,
tonight, 5 p.m., at the Wilkes-
Barre Area School District ad-
ministration building, 730 S.
Main St., Wilkes-Barre.
Continuing what has been
an underattended but highly
laudable effort launched a few
years ago, the Wilkes-Barre
Area School Board budget and
nance committee is seeking
public input as it shapes the
budget for the upcoming scal
year, running from July 1, 2013
through June 30, 2014.
It is true that, in the end,
the public comments and sug-
gestions are exactly that. The
board has nal say on what the
tax rate will be, how much will
be spent and what programs and
positions will be funded. But
these meetings are a chance to
offer input months before that
decision is made (a nal budget
must be passed by June 30, pre-
ceded by a preliminary budget
passed about a month earlier).
But lest anyone doubt the po-
tential value of a single voice,
remember that this board has
become fundamentally divided
along several fault lines, includ-
ing the level of willingness to
raise taxes. It is conceivable that
a well-made argument could
sway a swing vote on an issue
important to you.
It is also true that the board
is on course to losing a mem-
ber and seeking a replacement.
Robert Corcoran took a multi-
year job in Germany, eliminated
any physical residence in the
district and briey attempted to
retain his seat through his term
(expiring in December) by par-
ticipating in Februarys meeting
through an Internet Skype con-
nection.
But that plan prompted tu-
multous board debate and
drew the investigative eye of
the Luzerne County District
Attorneys Ofce, poised to
evaluate the legality of Corco-
rans thin claim to mandatory
district residency. According
to Board President John Quinn,
Corcoran has signaled his in-
tent to stop attending meetings
via Skype. He missed Mondays
meeting, and if he misses the
April meeting the board can
and, Quinn promised, will
vote to oust him as is its legal
right if a member misses two
consecutive meetings without
strong cause.
The board could legally vote
for a replacement without seek-
ing candidates, but Quinn sug-
gested that is not the way he
would prefer to go. If true, the
board would set a date for appli-
cations, then vote among that
pool of contenders.
A divided board with eight
members A chance for resi-
dents to land a seat on the board
through November And all
during the crucial budget-mak-
ing months of spring in an elec-
tion year? Conditions seem ripe
for these public budget meet-
ings to have greater weight than
cynics might expect.
So consider showing up for
tonights meeting. Candidates
running for the four board seats
should, in particular, show up,
but this is a chance to let your
voice be heard.
Our OpiniOn: W-B AreA Budget
Take opportunity
to have your say
A
Commonwealth Court
decision came too late
to save the adultBasic
health insurance plan
for Pennsylvanias working poor
in 2011, but the ruling now pro-
vides an incentive to reinstate
the successful program.
Commonwealth Court Presi-
dent Judge Dan Pellegrini de-
clared as unconstitutional two
bills that took tobacco settle-
ment proceeds away from adult-
Basic and used it for other items
in the state budget instead.
Without funds, the Corbett ad-
ministration ended adultBasic
in 2011, leaving 41,000 low-in-
come recipients without health
insurance.
The judge stopped short of
ordering adultBasics reinstate-
ment, leaving two possibilities
one good and one bad.
The state Legislature can get
around the constitutional ques-
tion by enacting a new law that
changes how the state agrees to
spend its future share of the na-
tionwide, $200 billion tobacco
settlement. If lawmakers simply
change the formula, theyll be
sidestepping the purpose of the
settlement, which was to have
tobacco manufacturers help
pay for states medical costs,
because use of their unhealthy
products drive them up.
The better option would
be for lawmakers to use the
money to expand health care
options for low-income Penn-
sylvanians by creating a new
version of adultBasic. Adult-
Basic shouldnt have been shut
down. Lawmakers should take
this chance to start it up again.

Simple queries from kids
and grandpas response
N
ot only do I love our grandson beyond
belief, I like when he asks questions,
however difcult the answer may be. At
suppertime Connor asked if Adam and Eve
were born the same way we (granny, pop-
pop and he) were. Maneuvering to avoid
debate about whether the Adam and Eve
myth is literally true or a story illustrating
a moral lesson, I told him to look around
in Heaven when he gets there for two
people without belly buttons. They will be
Adam and Eve.

A heartfelt thank-you
for rescue of two pets
O
n the Feb. 7 front page of The Times
Leader there was a picture of two
wonderful people aiding two pets after
their rescue. The photo included a woman
who was not identied and Captain Robert
Fannon; thank you from the bottom of my
heart. Thank you for your bravery and
concern for the animals. I understand the
cost of home fuel but wood burning is
dangerous. Nevertheless, thank you from

Response to recent letter:
No shame in honest work
A
s I read George Races letter in the
March 8, 2013, edition. I would like to
comment.
If its true that a member of the teachers
union made that denigrating statement
about McDonalds workers, he or she
should be ashamed. Is there any way to
prove the veracity of the statement?
The reasons I ask are these. Im a Wyo-
ming Area School Director and the mother
of ve children who graduated from the
district. One of those children is a second-
ary math teacher at Wyoming Area.
We were and are, a working class fam-
ily, and proud of it.
My husband is a retired truck driver and
now pushes carts at Price Chopper. His
job status is no higher than a McDonalds
counter worker.
I was a bus driver for 12 years and have
been a real estate associate broker for 27
years.
My daughter, who is the Wyoming Area
teacher, worked in small town manufactur-
ing in the 1980s cleaning restrooms. She
was a waitress along with her other sister
and myself at Howard Johnsons to pay for
tuition at Penn State.
My other daughter was a teacher at
Bloomsburg State as a nursing instructor.
She spent her high school years emptying
bedpans at Leader Nursing home, because
I told her we couldnt break for tuition as-
sistance until she was absolutely sure she
wanted to be a nurse.
My son tore out asbestos when we
didnt know how dangerous asbestos was.
He biked four miles to work and back,
every day in rain and snow, to get to a job
in retail. He started his own business, Big
Top Rental.
My other two sons one who works in
the private sector and one who works for
the state worked in a factory making
party favors , picking tomatoes on a local
farm, working in one of the local pizza res-
taurants and delivering beer for minimum
wage.
Why am I telling you this? Because
none of my children, including the
teacher, would ever think less of someone
because they were a counter worker at
McDonalds. That job is an upgrade from
some of the jobs they performed.
If Georges unveried statement is
indeed accurate, we are all embarrassed by
it. If it isnt, then he should be ashamed.

A few thoughts on guns,
history and freedom
T
here has been extensive press cover-
age about the tragedy at Sandy Hook
Elementary School. Experts have jumped
on the solution bandwagon. Ive read the
arguments and have watched our leaders
state that they know what is best for my
family and me. Here are my thoughts.
Regarding guns: The U.S. has an active
gun culture that has existed since before
the framing of the Constitution.
The Second Amendment was written to
provide the people with a way to combat a
tyrannical government.
The liberal press and our government
are starting to inuence the populace
by deciding what is deemed acceptable.
The government and press are preying
on an uninformed public by stating that
we should ban certain rearms based on
how they look. Unfortunately, the public is
falling for it.
Also, most of the people doing the decid-
ing have never even handled a rearm.
They have no right to determine what is
socially acceptable and decide what I can
and cannot own.
I feel a larger problem stems from the
fact that we are raising a generation of chil-
dren who are quickly turning into adults
who have become narcissistic. They want
everything now, done their way, or theyre
going to have a temper tantrum. Some-
times, unfortunately, these tantrums are
violent. Our discussions should be centered
on what we, as adults, have done horribly
wrong in creating this generation, and more
importantly, what we can do to x it.
School security is generally based on the
premise of building in enough of a delay
to allow the good guys to show up and
hopefully, end the carnage before it even
starts. This is done with various physical
items multiple door locks, surveillance,
bullet proof glass, etc. If all of the delays
are breached before the good guys show
up, then the only way to stop a threat is
with overwhelming, decisive, and yes, even
deadly, force. This is the harsh reality of the
world we live in today. Ignoring this sad
truth does a great disservice to those we
say we value most our children.
In 1976, at a very impressionable 12 years
of age, I toured the Auschwitz concentra-
tion camp in southern Poland.
The minimum admission age was 18 and
since I was only 12 it looked like we were
going to have to spend the day somewhere
else. After some very animated conversa-
tion between the museum personnel and
my mom, they nally relented and let me
in. I walked past the crematoria, toured the
cell block where Dr. Mengele performed his
horric experiments on twins, and saw the
stand up punishment cells where people
were starved and died standing up. But
the one thing that haunts me to this day
was the sight of quarter inch deep claw
marks etched in the cinderblocks of the
gas chambers created by human beings
who literally, tried to claw their way out.
Standing in the middle of a gas chamber,
at the tender age of 12, I looked up at my
mother and told her that, No one, ever,
will do this to me.
Do I fear my government? Unfortunately,
the answer is yes. And to all the Bidens,
Metzenbaums, Feinsteins, syndicated
columnists, and members of the so called
intellectual, social elite who think they
know whats best for me Im sorry, but
you have no right to force your version of
social morality on my family and me, or
anyone else for that matter.
The reader of this article might ask why
I would spend so much time penning this
lengthy letter.
I have but one answer those claw marks
those damn claw marks.

ful time when she was hidden in
a bunker, asleep with the help of
chloroform, while her parents
worked in the Nazi-occupied
ghetto.
Jeral had been staying with
the Gecevicius family for two
years when her aunt and uncle
Nechama and Bezalel Tau-
man came to Lithuania for
her and took her to Israel. From
there she would be sent to her
cousins in the United States,
where she was adopted by Izz and
Edna Polsky of Philadelphia.
Her story is chronicled in the
book, Tikva Means Hope, writ-
ten by her husband, Sheldon
Jeral. Their oldest son, Joe, wrote
a short play The Story
about his mothers plight that is
included in the book. Sheldon and
Tikva live near Baltimore now.
They spent 20 years in Wilkes-
Barre and Mountain Top from
1982-2002 when Sheldon was ex-
ecutive director of Jewish Family
Services and Tikva worked as a
social worker.
A dark journey from the hell
of war to the light of freedom and
a new family, Tikvas story dem-
onstrates the tenacity and hope
inherent in each of us, Sheldon
Jeral wrote in the book. The true
story of Tikva Jeral is a frighten-
ing, powerful and, nally, uplift-
ing tale of one womans survival
through one of the most horric
evils perpetuated in recent his-
tory.
The students sat in silence and
awe as Tikva Jeral detailedher sto-
ry. After the presentation, which
included a lm on the Holocaust
Remember the Children
Tikva said she often thinks of her
parents and how they must have
struggled to make the decision to
send her to the arms of strangers.
I think about it all the time,
she said. But I would not have
survived. I wonder why did I sur-
vive and not somebody else.
Seven Wilkes University educa-
tion students who attended the pre-
sentation marveled at Tikvas story.
Vicky Klem, 35, of Plymouth, said
her youngest child is 18 months
old. I cant imagine ever having to
give my child to strangers.
Megan Petrochko, 21 of Nanti-
coke, was touched by the story.
They gave away their only
child not knowing if she would
survive, she said. And they died
never knowing what happened to
her.
Many students posed for pic-
tures with Jeral and asked for her
autograph.
Some 71 years later I feel very
lucky to be alive and to remember
those who kept me safe, she said.
So, thats my story.
Jeral said she enjoyed her time
living as a Catholic. She prayed to
Jesus; Christmas was her favorite
time of year. She said the schools
she attended taught that Jews
were bad very bad.
I didnt want to leave, she
said of the time her aunt and un-
cle came to get her. I was a good
little girl. I didnt want to be Jew-
ish.
She said she got used to her aunt
and uncle and learned what had
happened. But she will never forget
the people who took care of her.
They took great risks, she
said. We had to move to another
part of town because the neigh-
bors knew there were only two
children living in our house and
now there were three. Our lives
were always in danger.
Sheldon wrote in the books for-
ward:
It is so important to recognize
that every survivor of imprison-
ment in concentration camps, and
every hidden child have horrible,
painful and impossible stories to
tell. This story is just one among
those who survived and the mil-
lions who did not. It is a story of
survival and of some lives which
were lived thereafter.

David, thank you for your ser-
vice to our country, Leighton
said. We believe youre going
to do a great job for us Satur-
day.
The grand marshal appoint-
ment is reserved for those
whose commitment to public
service stands out above any-
one elses. But the grand mar-
shal also has to be dedicated to
preserving Irish traditions.
Peggy Morgan showed off
some of the tattoos her son got
before his deployment, a Celtic
Cross and a Welsh Dragon.
She said that when she rst
saw them, she got excited.
I asked Why did you get
such big tattoos? He said,
Mom, I want them to know
what I stand for, Peggy Mor-
gan said.
Before he joined the mili-
tary, Morgan also served in the
Army Reserve, he worked as a
corrections ofcer for the state
prison system.
Peggy Morgan said he was
an ambitious public servant
who worked with fervor. She
said the accident came about
because of his commitment to
his work.
He volunteered for that last
mission and thats why Im not
sad about it, because he was do-
ing what he loved, she said.
Peggy said Morgan still en-
joys the taste of beer. She said
her other son serves in the Air
Force and the two would always
try to meet each other in Ire-
land to swill beer.
She said that just before his
accident they had just missed
each other.
She laughed and said the two
of them could get rowdy.
Maybe thats good because
the two of them in the same
place, at the same time, with
beer her voice trailed off.
Also surprised on Tuesday,
Joe Clark of Ashley, son of an
Irish immigrant and an Ashley
native, was appointed as the
other grand marshal for the
citys 33rd annual parade.
As is tradition for the city,
Clark was brought to City Hall
for the announcement. Clarks
jaw dropped when the mayor
announced his appointment.
Clark was an iron worker
for his entire career, retiring in
1985. He is the the last surviv-
ing charter member of the An-
cient Order of Hibernians, St.
John Neumann Division 2. He
is also an active member of St.
Leos Church and the Knights
of Columbus.

PARADE
do whatever it took to rise within
the ranks of the violent Mexican
gang, even if it meant killing a
friend.
The Mexican Maa is a blood
in, blood out organization, Green
explained in the pre-sentence re-
port, meaning the only way to gain
full membership was to kill anoth-
er person.
Garcia, also a member of the
gang, had made a fatal mistake: He
was trying to get out.
Because Carlos was not con-
tributing and doing the business
that the Maa expected of him, it
was decided that his punishment
would be death, Green said.
It was the in Con-Ui had been
waiting for.
Con-Ui agreed to help two fellow
gang members, Manuel Medrano
and Johnny Farinas, set up Garcia.
Since (Con-Ui) was fairly close
with Carlos, he used his friendship
as a means to trick Carlos into a
meeting at the laundromat, the
report says.
As Garcias girlfriend washed
clothes inside, Con-Ui struck up
a conversation to distract him, ac-
cording to the report. Medrano and
Farinas approached from behind.
Medrano red several shots into
Garcia, who managed to run away
before Farinas caught up with him
and red four rounds into his head.
Con-Ui pleaded guilty to rst-
degree murder on May 30, 2008
and was later sentenced to life in
prison. That sentence was to be
served once he completed the fed-
eral prison sentence.
The plea deal in the murder case
left open the possibility Con-Ui
could be paroled after serving 25
years, however. Concerned by that
possibility, Green led the pre-sen-
tence memorandum to ensure the
judge, and later, the Arizona parole
board, knew of Con-Uis past.
In the report, Green noted Con-
Ui had previously been twice con-
victed of theft charges, for which
he served 3 1/2 years in prison.
While on parole on those charges,
he continued to commit crimes as
a Maa member, including partici-
pating in a drug ring that resulted
in his 2003 federal conviction on
drug distribution charges.
Con-Ui also continued com-
mit crimes while he was behind
bars, including helping to arrange
a drug deal over the phone, with
the proceeds distributed to fellow
inmates who were members of
his gang. Con-Ui pleaded guilty to
money laundering charges in con-
nection with that case and was sen-
tenced to ve years in prison.
Those actions made it clear
Con-Ui had no interest in rehabili-
tation, Green said, leading to his
warning:
When one looks at the destruc-
tionandpainthat Jessie Con-Ui has
left in his wake, it simply wouldnt
seem fair that he should ever again
enjoy his freedom, Green said.
Con-Ui remains incarcerated at
the Federal Correctional Institu-
tion at Allenwood, where he was
transferred after the attack on Wil-
liams.
Federal prosecutors have not
said when charges will be led. Its
expected the case will be brought
before a grand jury, which will de-
cide if there is sufcient evidence
to issue an indictment.

Monsignor Guido Marini, master of liturgical ceremonies, closes the double doors to the
Sistine Chapel in after shouting Extra omnes, Latin for all out, Tuesday.
the worlds 1.2 billion Catho-
lics has been elected.
The Catholic Churchs 115
cardinal electors were due to
resume voting today, with two
rounds in the morning followed
by another two in the after-
noon. The winning candidate
needs to secure a two-thirds
majority: at least 77 votes.
Most Vatican experts expect
the process to be completed by
weeks end.
The conclave started around
5:30 p.m., when the master of
ceremonies called the Extra
Omnes (everybody out). All
non-voting individuals were led
out of the chapel, and its doors
were locked.
The red-clad cardinals ar-
rived in the chapel in a proces-
sion. Once seated under Mi-
chelangelos famous frescoed
ceilings, they sung a hymn to in-
voke the Holy Spirits guidance
and took an oath of secrecy.
Speaking in Latin, they
pledged to maintain secrecy
regarding everything that in
any way relates to the elec-
tion of the Roman pontiff and
regarding what occurs in the
place of the election, directly or
indirectly related to the results
of the voting.
While the process is highly
secretive, and there are no for-
mal candidates, papal watchers
say this election is much more
open than the one in 2005 that
turned German-born Cardinal
Joseph Ratzinger into Pope
Benedict XVI after only four
rounds of voting.
The shortlist of papabili
(papal candidates) includes Ita-
lys Angelo Scola, Brazils Pedro
Odilo Scherer, Timothy Dolan
of the United States, Marc Ouel-
let of Canada, Peter Turkson of
Ghana and Leonardo Sandri of
Argentina.
The race is portrayed as a
clash between reformists and
curiali, those loyal to the Ro-
man Curia the equivalent of
the Vaticans government.
My guess is that wed have
a new Successor of St Peter
by Thursday evening, with a
hoped-for inaugural Mass on
March 19, Dolan wrote in
a letter to his priests in New
York, according to U.S. broad-
caster ABC News.

loses two
key cogs
After clipping Athens in the -
nal minute Saturday in William-
sport, Holy Redeemer advances
to play the team that ended
Nanticokes season last year.
Villa Maria, the District 1
champion, is known to the area
as a eld hockey nemesis. The
Hurricanes are also a girls bas-
ketball roadblock, having shut
out the Trojanettes in the sec-
ond quarter
of their game
last season
also in
the second
round of the
state tourna-
ment.
But the Hurricanes team
that the Royals face in todays
6 p.m. PIAA Class 3A quarter-
nal at Freedom High School in
Bethlehem is not the same one
that stunned Nanticoke a year
ago. Sure, Villa Maria won the
District 1 crown for a third con-
secutive season. And this is the
Hurricanes 12th straight trip to
the state playoffs.
Even so, only one starter is
back from last season 5-foot-
9 guard Lisa Mirarchi. The lone
senior starter is Villas top scorer
this season, a campaign that fea-
tured her 1,000th career point.
The rest of the Hurricanes
lineup is juniors, ranging in size
from 5-5 guard Devon Tirney
to 5-11 Jackie Carlin and 5-11
Mora Fetterolf. Carlin is also a
main scoring option for Villa, as
is 5-10 guard Molly Namiotka.
The Hurricanes are not know
for their scoring, though. Villa is
built on defense, as evidenced
by its ability to hold opponents

school announced Tuesday it is
leaving the fractured Big East a
year sooner than originally antic-

except football and hockey.
The switch was approved in
a vote by Big East university
presidents in the wake of a split
announced last week of the
leagues football schools and
seven Catholic schools that next
season are forming their own
basketball-focused conference
with the Big East name. The
vote means Notre Dame coaches
can move forward with schedul-

The Baltimore Ravens are pay-
ing the price for winning a Super
Bowl.
The NFL champions lost two
key components of their defense,
linebackers Paul Kruger and
Dannell Ellerbe, as free agency
began Tuesday. On Monday,
they traded star receiver Anquan
Boldin, a key to their title run,
to San Francisco the team
the Ravens beat 34-31 to win the
championship.
Kruger went north to division
rival Cleveland for a ve-year,
$40 million deal, while Ellerbe
headed south to Miami for $35
million over ve years.
The 49ers didnt go un-
touched, either. After giving up a
sixth-round draft pick for Boldin,
they saw tight end Delanie Walk-
er leave for Tennessee.
San Francisco also conrmed
the trade of backup quarterback
Alex Smith to Kansas City, a deal
that was known for weeks. The
49ers will receive the Chiefs sec-
ond-round pick, 34th overall, in
this years draft and a conditional
pick in next years draft.

MIAMI Dwyane Wade scored 23
points and the Miami Heat extended their
winning streak to 19 games, leading wire-
to-wire in beating the Atlanta Hawks 98-
81 on Tuesday night.
LeBron James scored
15 and Chris Bosh and
Mario Chalmers added
14 apiece for the Heat,
who matched the fth-
longest streak in NBA
history. They will try for
their 20th straight win
on Wednesday at Phila-
delphia, the start of a
ve-game trip.
Only three teams have
won at least 20 consecu-
tive games in the same
season: the 1971-72 Los
Angeles Lakers (33),
the 2007-08 Houston
Rockets (22) and the 1970-71 Milwaukee
Bucks (20). The Washington Capitols
also won 20 straight, spanning the end
of the 1947-48 season and the start of the
1948-49 campaign.
Josh Smith scored 15 for the Hawks,
who got 12 apiece from Al Horford and
Jeff Teague.
Ray Allen scored 12 and Udonis Haslem
grabbed 11 rebounds for the Heat, which
won easily even with James who shot
3 for 11 scoring less than 20 points for
the second straight game. James did n-
ish with seven rebounds and seven assists.
The crowd was 20,350, a record at
AmericanAirlines Arena for a regular-
season game.
Miami has the best overall record in the
NBA and now leads the Eastern Confer-
ence race by 9 games over Indiana and
New York, who were both idle Tuesday.
The Heat (48-14) have 20 games left,
while the Pacers have 19 and the Knicks

talented swimmer wearing black

psych sheets go, hes positioned to
compete for two individual medals
and one relay medal.
He looks good, Tunkhannock
coach Tim Mislevy said. Hes got
it together mentally. He says feels
good, and hes been swimming
well in the water. Weve still been
spending some time on speed work,
starts, ne-tuning some things.
Spencer has the areas best
chance at a state gold, silver or
bronze at the Bucknell University-

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 13, 2013 PAgE 3B TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com B A S E B A L L
BRADENTON, Fla. Neil
Walker knows what its like to
watch a Pittsburgh Pirates sea-
son slip away. It happened time
and again during his childhood,
when one fruitless summer led to
another for his hometown team.
It was exasperating, but it
wasnt nearly as painful as what
happened last fall, when the sec-
ond basemans back went out
and Pittsburghs hopes of mak-
ing the playoffs for the rst time
in 20 years soon followed.
The Pirates were 68-59 on
Aug. 27 when Walker began
to feel the effects of what was
eventually diagnosed as a herni-
ated disk. He missed 27 of the
teams nal 35 games, gritting
his teeth as the Pirates faded
from contention.
Theres not a more helpless
feeling as a guy thats used to
playing every day than to not
be out there and help the team,
especially in times of need,
Walker said.
Replacement Brock Holt
struggled to provide a spark ei-
ther at the plate or in the eld
and Pittsburghs offense all but
disappeared without help from
the steady switch-hitter deter-
mined to return the Pirates to
prominence.
Walkers absence was hardly
the only thing that went wrong
over the seasons nal six weeks,
though that didnt make it any
easier to swallow. Its one of
the reasons why the 27-year-old
started his offseason program
barely a week after the Pirates
ended up 78-84.
Working with a team of spe-
cialists, Walker gradually rebuilt
strength in his back and was as-
sured at every step along the way
it not be a recurring problem.
That was welcome news to a
6-foot-3 guy who spends half of
his time on the job in a defensive
crouch on the edge of the ineld.
A typical day now includes
a 15-20 minute series of exer-
cises designed to take some of
the pressure off his back. He fo-
cuses on his core and his hips.
The looser they are, the bet-
ter he feels. Its not quite yoga,
but its pretty close. Getting a
head start on his offseason pro-
gram also helped him avoid the
weight gain that tends to pop up
over the winter. He arrived in
Bradenton last month about 10
pounds lighter than he typically
is this time of year.
I felt great and I havent felt
any weaker or anything like
that, which has been good, he
said. To not carry a little extra
weight on top is probably good
for my back anyway.
Though Walker hasnt exactly
busted out during spring train-
ing hes hitting .158 (3 for 19)
in eight games hes condent
he can be just as productive
as he was a year ago when he
batted .280 with a career-high
14 homers and 69 RBI despite
missing more than a month.
Those numbers were good
enough for Walker to get a pay
bump from $500,000 to $3.3
million, a deal he worked out
with the Pirates just hours be-
fore going to arbitration.
It can turn into a spitting
match if you let it, but it wasnt
that way, he said. They sub-
mitted their numbers, we sub-
mitted ours and we met right
smack in the middle.
Even so, the Pirates have yet
to reach out to Walker to discuss
a longer term deal even though
he is considered part of the core
the team wants to build around.
Walker insists hes not worried
about his future, pointing out
that he still has three years of
arbitration remaining before he
becomes a free agent.
Maybe, but Pittsburgh made
sure to lock up All-Star center-
elder Andrew McCutchen last
spring. In a way, Walker may be
almost as valuable to the fran-
chise because of his steady pro-
duction and his western Pennsyl-
vania roots. The team promotes
Walker heavily. On Mothers
Day last year, every female fan
that walked through the gates
received a pink Walker jersey, as
did every child in attendance.
Walker is diplomatic when
talking about his long-term im-
portance to the Pirates.
The way I see it is if I prepare
myself like I have during the off-
season and every day I go out
and give my best effort and stay
healthy, all that stuff will take
care of itself, he said. When we
get to that bridge, well cross it.
That apparently wont happen
this spring. Owner Bob Nutting
has stressed the team is willing
to pay up for a great player but
that the club cant ever do it to
feel like its the popular thing
that were doing.
Walker doesnt believe his fu-
ture will be a distraction. Hes
more anxious to help the Pirates
get over the hump. That in-
cludes becoming more produc-
tive as a right-handed hitter. He
hit just .246 from the right side
and struggled to generate any
power. All but ve of his 29 hits
while batting right-handed were
singles and all of his home runs
came from the left side.

Halladay
delivers a
pitch in the
second inning
of a spring
training
game against
the Detroit
Tigers in
Clearwater,
Fla., on Tues-
day.

CLEARWATER, Fla. Roy Hal-
laday used two meaningful words
to alleviate concern over a terrible
outing.
Nothing hurts, Halladay said.
Considering hes coming off an
injury-plagued year, thats important
news for the Philadelphia Phillies.
Ramon Santiago hit a grand slam
and Don Kelly also homered off Hal-
laday, leading the Detroit Tigers to a
10-6 win over the Phillies on Tuesday.
The results arent satisfying and
thats obvious but the work weve
done, theres a lot of progress being
made, Halladay said. I just felt
lethargic. The good part is theres no
soreness, nothing hurts. Ill trade that
any day of the week feeling lethargic
over being sore like last spring train-
ing where there were times youre
hurt.
The Tigers roughed up the Hal-
laday for seven runs in 2 2-3 innings.
The two-time Cy Young Award
winner allowed six hits and walked
four in his poorest outing this spring.
He came in with a 2.16 ERA in three
starts.
Theres denitely work to be
done, adjustments to be made,
Halladay said, adding hes increased
the intensity of his workout program
and threw an extra bullpen ses-
sion between starts. Being that its
spring training and theres so much
to be worked on, so much to try and
achieve at this point, I felt like its
more important to work on this stuff
now and Id rather have that (feeling)
now.
Manager Charlie Manuel and pitch-
ing coach Rich Dubee seemed more
worried than Halladay about his start.
He says hes healthy, he feels
good and nothings wrong with him,
Manuel said. It concerns me, but Ive
been in the game long enough that if
nothing is wrong with him, just keep
working with him.
Braves 12, Cardinals 3
KISSIMMEE, Fla. Julio Teheran
pitched ve hitless innings, Freddie
Freeman was 2 for 2 with two RBIs
and the Atlanta Braves beat the St.
Louis Cardinals.
St. Louis ended a 29-inning score-
less streak with a three-run seventh
off Luis Avilan.
Teheran, on the verge of gaining
the fth spot in the Braves rotation,
struck out six and walked two while
lowering his ERA to 1.29 in four
starts. He has allowed four hits and
struck out 18 in 14 innings.
Astros 9, Marlins 4
JUPITER, Fla. Carlos Pena and
Brett Wallace hit back-to-back home
runs off Ricky Nolasco in the rst
inning and the Houston Astros added
three more long balls in a victory over
the Miami Marlins.
Matt Dominguez, Jason Castro and
Chris Carter also homered for the
Astros, who had 13 hits. Castro went
3 for 3 with a double.
Yankees 3, Rays 1
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. Ivan
Nova continued to make a case to be
the New York Yankees fth starter by
pitching four scoreless innings during
a victory over the Tampa Bay Rays.
Nova allowed four hits, walked
none and struck out two in his third
exhibition start. The right-hander
who faltered down the stretch last
season has allowed one run over nine
innings this spring.
The Yankees scored three runs in
the eighth, two of them on Bobby
Wilsons pinch-hit single. Mike Fon-
tenot drove in Tampa Bays run with
an eighth-inning sacrice y. On a
day the Rays selected AL Cy Young
Award winner David Price as their
opening day starter, right-hander Alex
Cobb built on a solid spring showing
by working ve scoreless innings.
Red Sox 5, Blue Jays 3
FORT MYERS, Fla. Mike Napoli
played consecutive games for the
rst time this spring training and had
a run-scoring single and a double,
helping the Boston Red Sox over the
Toronto Blue Jays.
Napoli, diagnosed with avascular
necrosis in both hips during his
offseason contract negotiations with
the Red Sox, is batting .429 (6 for 14)
with two homers and six RBIs.
Winner Clay Buchholz allowed
three hits in four scoreless innings,
while loser Justin Germano, making
his rst exhibition start of the year,
gave up two runs and ve hits in
three innings.
Diamondbacks (ss) 5, Mariners 4
PEORIA, Ariz. Felix Hernandez
struck out three in three innings of
his second spring training start, but
the Seattle Mariners lost to an Ari-
zona Diamondbacks split squad.
Hernandez, who became the
highest-paid pitcher in baseball when
he signed a seven-year, $175 million
contract in February, walked one and
gave up one hit a solo home run to
Eric Hinske.
In two spring appearances, Hernan-
dez allowed two runs and three hits
in ve innings. He has one walk and
ve strikeouts.
Rangers 12, Brewers 3
SURPRISE, Ariz. Jeff Baker
homered off Tom Gorzelanny and
Mike Olt against Travis Webb,
helping the Texas Rangers rout the
Milwaukee Brewers.
Baker has a seven-game hitting
streak, going 12 for 15 (.800).
Rangers starter Alexi Ogando al-
lowed two hits and three walks and
struck out three over four innings, his
rst scoreless outing of spring train-
ing. Texas took a four-hit shutout into
the ninth before Tanner Scheppers
allowed three runs.
Athletics 6, Royals 3
PHOENIX Eric Sogard had a
tiebreaking double in the fth inning
and the Oakland Athletics bullpen
slowed the hot-hitting Kansas City
Royals in a victory.
Alex Gordon had two more hits,
including a home run off Tommy
Milone to lead off the game.
The Royals, who scored 30 runs in
their previous two games, increased
their lead to 3-0 in the fourth on
run-scoring hits by Max Ramirez and
Johnny Giavotella. Oakland tied it
against Royals starter James Shields
in the bottom half on an RBI double
by Yoenis Cespedes and a two-run
single by Brandon Moss.
Six As relievers combined for 5 1-3
innings of three-hit ball.

Jose Reyes homered for the Dominican
Republic in the third inning of Tuesdays
game against Italy at the World Base-
ball Classic in Miami.
MIAMI Gio Gonzalez gave Team
USA its best start yet, and David Wright
provided a big nish.
Gonzalez pitched ve scoreless innings
and the Americans beat Puerto Rico 7-1
in the World Baseball Classic on Tuesday
night.
Wright drove in ve runs, the last three
with a bases-loaded double in the eighth.
That prompted chants of U-S-A! U-S-A!
from the crowd of 32,872.
The United States fell behind in all
three games in the opening round, but
led from the rst inning against Puerto
Rico. The Americans will play Thursday
night against the Dominican Republic,
which remained unbeaten in the WBC by
rallying past Italy 5-4 on Tuesday.
Puerto Rico plays Italy in an elimina-
tion game today.
Gonzalez (1-0), who grew up in nearby
Hialeah, struck out ve for the home-
town team and departed with a 3-0 lead.
Manager Joe Torre then went to his bull-
pen, and ve relievers combined to allow
one run over the nal four innings.
Dominican Republic 5, Italy 4
MIAMI Nelson Cruzs two-out RBI
single broke a seventh-inning tie, and the
Dominican Republic overcame an early
four-run decit to beat Italy in the World
Baseball Classic.
The Dominicans (4-0) remained
unbeaten and advanced to a winners-
bracket game Thursday night in the
double-elimination second round.
Robinson Cano had three hits, includ-
ing his second homer of the WBC with a
drive off the upper-deck facade in right
eld.
Japan 10, Netherlands 6
TOKYO Shinnosuke Abe homered
twice in an eight-run second inning as
two-time defending champion Japan beat
the Netherlands to secure rst place in

did a team put up more than 45
points on the Hurricanes (by
comparison, the Royals scored
at least 57 points in 11 games,
while holding four opponents
to less than 30 points).
The teams have one common

later, ACC downed the Royals
49-35.
Holy Redeemer is led by

Alyssa Platko is netting 10
points in the last three playoff
tilts, mainly in the paint, and
Alana Wilson is putting up nine

of the improved production
throughout the lineup.
Contributions from players

a telephone interview.
The move means stabil-
ity for all Notre Dame sports
and has some familiarity to
Irish fans, with Syracuse and
Pittsburgh joining the Irish
in moving to the ACC next
season and former Big East
teams Boston College, Miami
and Virginia Tech already part
of the ACC.
If the Irish had opted to stay
in the football-centric league,
they would have faced some
not-so-familiar opponents in
Memphis, Central Florida,
Houston, Tulane and SMU,
along with returning mem-
bers Cincinnati, Connecticut,
South Florida, Louisville and
Rutgers. Louisville joins the
ACC after next season, while
Rutgers joins the Big Ten.
If the Irish had chosen
to align with the Catholic
schools, they would have
faced DePaul, Georgetown,
Marquette, St. Johns, Seton
Hall, Providence and Villano-
va. Butler, Xavier and Creigh-
ton have been mentioned as
potential members.
The ACC will provide some
of Notre Dames non-revenue
sports with more challenging
opponents. North Carolinas
womens soccer team has won
21 national championships;
four different mens soccer
teams from the conference
have won national champi-
onships in the past six years;
Virginia and Maryland played
for the national title in mens
lacrosse in 2011; and Duke
has won four national champi-
onships in golf in the past 11
years.
Its a better situation than
the consequence of having the
Catholic 7 and the Big East
split, Swarbrick said.
The move comes six
months after Notre Dame an-
nounced it was opting to join
the ACC in all sports except
football and hockey. Big East
Commissioner Mike Aresco
said the move made sense for
the league.
The Big East can now fo-
cus fully on its future align-
ment and rebranding efforts,
he said.
ACC Commissioner John
Swofford said the league wel-
comed the early arrival of the
Irish, saying the additions of
Syracuse and Pitt this year and
Louisville next year will make
the leagues basketball sched-
ule brutal, which is a great
thing for our league and fans.
Swarbrick would not com-
ment on whether Notre Dame
paid an exit fee or other nan-
cial terms of the agreement.
He said the decision to join the
ACC early evolved over time,
saying Notre Dame had been in
constant touch with the ACC.

pressed surprise that he was
traded.
I thought this was the last
stop of my career but regardless
of the circumstances I came
here to win a Championship
and in February we came home
Champions, he said on Twit-
ter.
Ellerbe also tweeted as he
took his talents to South Beach.
Just wanna take time to
THANK GOD for being in this
position Im in! Before I make
da BIGGEST DECISION in my
life I just wanna thank him!!!
Ellerbe said.
Kruger led the Ravens with
nine sacks and added 2 in the
playoffs and two in the Super
Bowl. But he was too expensive
for Baltimore to keep.
Denver ensured that Peyton
Manning will be the Broncos
quarterback through at least
2014.
The four-time MVPs con-
tract called for a guaranteed sal-
ary of $20 million in 2013 and
2014 if he was on the Denver
roster Tuesday. The nal two
years of his contract are worth
$19 million each, but are not
guaranteed.
Coming off multiple neck
operations, Manning threw for
4,659 yards and 37 touchdowns
last season and was the NFL
Comeback Player of the Year.
He turns 37 on March 24.
Kansas City was busy nding
support for Smith on both sides
of the ball. The Chiefs agreed
to a four-year, $16 million deal
with tight end Anthony Fasa-
no, a three-year, $12.6 million
contract with defensive tackle
Mike DeVito, and a three-year
deal with Saints backup quar-
terback Chase Daniel.
Teams also made cuts Tues-
day. The biggest were Ryan
Fitzpatrick in Buffalo and
Nnamdi Asomugha in Philadel-
phia.
The Bills starting quarter-
back was released 1 years
after getting a six-year, $59 mil-
lion contract extension. Fitzpat-
rick struggled after signing the
new deal, and the Bills went
6-10 in 2011 and in 2012.
Buffalo has not made the
playoffs since 1999, the longest
active streak in the NFL. For
now, the Bills No. 1 quarter-
back is Tarvaris Jackson.
Bills general manager Buddy
Nix said: Difcult decisions
often have to be made and so
we are moving forward. Our fo-
cus remains on adding another
quarterback to our roster and
we will continue to explore ev-
ery option available to us.
Philadelphia released corner-
back Asomugha, who two years
ago got a ve-year, $60 million
contract with $24 million guar-
anteed when he left Oakland as
a free agent. Asomugha was a
op in Philly, often victimized
in single coverage.
Asomugha was scheduled to
make $15 million next season,
with $4 million guaranteed.
Earlier, Tony Gonzalez
changed his mind and decided
to return to the Falcons.
The NFLs career leader
among tight ends with 1,242 re-
ceptions and 103 touchdowns
said he was 95 percent certain
he would retire after 2012, but
the other 5 percent won out.
Hours before free agency be-
gan Thursday, Gonzalez tweet-
ed:
The lure of being on such
a great team and organization,
along with unbelievable fan
support was too good to pass
up.
Also Thursday:
Defensive end Will Smith
and linebacker Jonathan Vilma,
both implicated in the Saints
bounty scandal, agreed to re-
structure their contracts to re-
main with New Orleans.
The 31-year-old Smith and
30-year-old Vilma, both veteran
defensive captains, would have
taken up about $23 million
combined in salary cap space
without the redone deals.
Minnesota fnalized the
trade of receiver Percy Harvin
to Seattle, released 14-year vet-
eran cornerback Antoine Win-
eld and re-signed right tackle
Phil Loadholt. The Seahawks
are sending their rst-round
and seventh-round draft picks
this year plus their third-round
selection in 2014 to the Vikings
for Harvin.
Tennessee agreed to terms
with Buffalo guard Andy Lev-
itre and Walker. Levitre, one
of the top offensive linemen on
the market, got a six-year deal
worth nearly $47 million. He
will replace Steve Hutchinson,
who announced his retirement
earlier Tuesday. Walker will
help replace Jared Cook, whom
the Titans declined to tag as
a franchise player because he
wants to be paid more like a
receiver.
The Titans waived safety
Jordan Babineaux and guard
Mitch Petrus.
Pittsburgh re-signed line-
backer Larry Foote and wide re-
ceiver Plaxico Burress, and ten-
dered offers to four restricted
free agents: receiver Emmanuel
Sanders, running backs Jona-
than Dwyer and Isaac Redman,
all of whom could be starters
in 2013, and nose tackle Steve
McLendon. Burress should
provide depth with the Steel-
ers losing Mike Wallace in free
agency, but Burress struggled
to get onto the eld after re-
turning to the Steelers last No-
vember.
Foote also came back to Pitts-
burgh last season and will stay
at inside linebacker, where the
other starter, James Harrison,
was released this week. Foote
got a three-year deal.
Denver agreed to terms
with guard Louis Vasquez, late
of San Diego. According to
STATS, he has allowed just 11
sacks and had one penalty dur-
ing his time with the Chargers.
Tight end Martellus Ben-
nett agreed to a four-year con-
tract with the Bears, leaving
the Giants after one season.
Defensive tackle Henry Melton
signed his franchise tag tender
at $8.45 million.
Cincinnati re-signed de-
fensive ends Robert Geathers
and Wallace Gilberry. Geathers
enters his 10th season with the
Bengals, the longest tenure on
the current roster.
Robert brings us not just
ne and consistent play, but
leadership and experience,
coach Marvin Lewis said. Hes
a big part of our success with
his own play, and I know our
younger guys have talked about
how hes made them more ef-
fective players.
Houston cut receiver Kevin
Walter, who was due to make
$2 million in salary. Walter nev-
er became the threat opposite
Andre Johnson that the team
hoped for. He caught 41 passes
for 518 yards and two touch-
downs in 2012.
Carolina cut linebacker
James Anderson, a seven-year
veteran who set a franchise re-
cord in 2011 with 174 tackles.
San Diego released 11-year
veteran tight end Randy McMi-
chael and signed kicker Nick
Novak to a four-year contract;
the New York Jets cut nose
tackle Sione Pouha and restruc-
tured the contract of receiver
Santonio Holmes; and Arizona
re-signed safety Rashad John-
son to a three-year contract.
Indianapolis agreed in prin-
ciple on contracts with tackle
Gosder Cherilus, linebacker
Lawrence Sidbury, guard Don-
ald Thomas, cornerback Greg
Toler and linebacker Erik
Walden. All deals are pending
a physical.

broke former Bishop Hoban
star Mark Bellows 23-year old
district record of 1:58.94 by
85-hundredths of a second.
But Mislevy said Spencer
wasnt so awless in his 50
backstroke his signature
stroke during the district IM
meet. Hell need to perfect his
backstroke if he wants to end
up on the awards podium.
When you get down there,
theres little room for error,
Mislevy said. Hes trying not
to think about that too much.
Hopefully puts his best race
together and see what that ends
up.
After reviewing tape of the
district meet, Mislevy noticed
two mishaps that, if corrected,
could cut down his time sig-
nicantly. Hell need to do that
in order to catch up to Mars
Christopher Georgiadis and
Lancaster Catholics Everett Al-
bert. Spencer is trailing three-
quarters of a second behind
Georgiadis and 2.15 seconds
behind the favored Albert.
Spencer also hopes to move
up the standings in the 100
back, where he is seeded
eighth. He admitted after
districts that he was not happy
with his time of 53.65 seconds.
Hell also compete as a
backstroker in a 200 medley
relay team that is positioned
in 14th at 1:41.17. Juniors Joey
Moftt and Matt Miller will
swim the breaststroke and
buttery, respectively. Fellow
senior James Proulx mans the
anchor slot. The team chemis-
try of the 200 medley team says
been attributed to Spencer and
Proulxs leadership, according
to Mislevy.
They are like brothers. They
are pushing each other to get
better, Mislevy said. They are
always talking swimming.
Spencer will conclude what
has been one of the most suc-
cessful swimming careers in
Tunkhannock history. Mislevy
noted that Spencer quietly stud-
ies the sport, often relying on
his mental ability to correct and
overcome mistakes that cost
valuable time in close races.
Hes come a long ways,
Mislevy said. Every year he
gets better technically we talk
about his races. Hes just got
a lot stronger mentally. He
thinks about what he has to
do and he goes about doing it.
Quite smart. When he makes a
mistake, he knows how to x it
during the race.
Hes been very coachable.
He takes constructive criticism.
Hes open minded to try new
things.

Steve Stricker is in semi-re-
tirement from the PGA Tour,
though it sure doesnt feel that
way to him.
Consider the 48 hours since
his runner-up nish at Doral.
Stricker had to lm an Avis
commercial in Los Angeles the
next day. When he booked his
travel plans, he wasnt aware
the nal round would end an
hour later because of Daylight
Savings Time, so he missed his
ight. Phil Mickelson offered
him a ride on his plane to San
Diego, and Stricker took a char-
ter up the coast. He nally got
home to Wisconsin at 2 a.m.
Tuesday, and then woke up to
take his daughters to school
before heading off to a meeting
with his foundation until the
girls got out of school.
He chuckled when talking
about a text from caddie Jimmy
Johnson that said, What are
you up to?
I feel like Imbusier nowthan
when I played a regular sched-
ule, Stricker said. But its all
good. Im doing a lot of things
around home with the family,
and with what (wife) Nicki and
I are doing with the foundation.
Ill go to the grocery store with
Nicki. And theres still time to
do some fun things.
Deer hunting is done, but
Stricker was quick to point out
that coyote season is still open.
Hes thinking about driving down
to Chicago one day this week to
watch the Big 10 mens basket-
ball tournament. As for his golf?
Not bad for a part-time player.
In three starts this year, he has
made $1.82 million and is No. 4
on the money list. He has gone
up 10 spots to No. 8 in the world
ranking. Stricker was the runner-
up at Kapalua and Doral, and he
reached the quarternals of the
Match Play Championship.
He is doing more with less.
And along the way, his prole
is as high as it has ever been.
He already was considered as
nice a person as there is on the
PGA Tour, mainly for his good
manners and how he treats
people. His father-in-law, Den-
nis Tiziani, summed it up a few
years ago when he said Stricker
was as considerate talking to a
big executive on tour as he was
to the guy working in Aisle 4 at
the Home Depot.
And now he is jokingly re-
ferred to as the part-time put-
ting guru of Tiger Woods.
Their meeting Wednesday af-
ternoon at Doral was a planned
accident. Woods had wanted
to play a practice round with
Stricker on the eve of the tour-
nament, but Woods didnt arrive
until early afternoon and couldnt
nd him. It was only after Woods
played nine holes and nished
his media duties that he saw
Stricker on the putting green.
Stricker is humble enough
not to help unless asked. He has
given Woods a few tips over the
years, such as the Presidents
Cup in 2011, and they often ex-
change text messages or chat
about the art of putting. This
was the longest session, and the
most meaningful.
He noticed that Woods had
his hands behind the ball and his
posture was out of sync, prob-
ably from working so much on
his long game and the recent
hours Woods had spent chipping.
Woods walked away feeling as
good as he did at Torrey Pines,
where he won by four shots. Over
the next four days at Doral, he
had his fewest number of putts
(100) ever on the PGA Tour,
made 27 birdies and won by two
shots over Stricker, no less.
Stricker said he told Woods
after they nished that session,
If you put me on your payroll, I
could play a little bit less.
He was genuinely happy to
hear that Woods had putted
well in the opening round, and
the feeling didnt change when
Woods nished two shots ahead
of him.
Stricker noticed more than
just a putting stroke that was
back to where it should be.
His attitude, and what I saw
this week, and his belief in him-
self again looks very similar
to where he was in the early
2000s, Stricker said.
Stricker raising prole in semi-retirement

Kostner has
a world of
love for sport
By NANCY ARMOUR
AP National Writer
LONDON, Ontario Caro-
lina Kostner could have taken
her gold medal from last years
world championships and run.
She nally had the title many
had been predicting for the bet-
ter part of a decade. Better yet,
shed redeemed herself from
those dismal performances at
the Vancouver Olympics and
2009 world championships,
where she spent more time
sprawling on the ice than a kid
learning how to skate.
But to retire would have meant
ignoring the precious lessons
those awful times taught her.
The reason is just that I love
it, the Italian said Tuesday. I
cannot expect from everyone to
love my skating, but I love to do
it. Im not ready to give that up
yet. I know that there is a small
chance that I can really repeat
that perfection like last season.
But its in my heart, and every
time I go on the ice I take it with
me and say, Youve got there
and now you should enjoy it.
I try, she said, smiling. Its
not so easy but I try.
The World Figure Skating
Championships begin today
with the mens and pairs short
programs. The womens com-
petition begins Thursday, and
Kostner is not even the favorite
in what could be the toughest
eld assembled since the Van-
couver Games in 2010.
Olympic champion Kim Yu-na
is back for the rst time since
2011, and Mao Asada is the best
shes been since winning her
second world title in 2010. The
Russians have their best team
since the days of Irina Slutska-
ya and Maria Butyrskaya. And
dont overlook U.S. champion
Ashley Wagner, silver medalist
at the Grand Prix Final.
This might be one of the
most challenging world cham-
pionships in the ladies event
weve seen in a while, Wagner
said. To get onto that podium
with everybody thats compet-
ing here would be such a huge
accomplishment, just because
everyone is so talented.
That Kostner was talented was
never in question. Tall and lithe
with the natural elegance of a
ballerina, she makes even the
simplest of stroking drills capti-
vating. She may not have Asadas
power, but shes a strong enough
jumper to contend with the best.
She went to her rst Euro-
pean championships at 16, sim-
ply hoping to make it out of the
qualifying round. She wound up
just missing a medal, nishing
fourth overall.
The next year, she was fth at
the world championships.
Expectations can be a heavy
burden, however, and Kostner
struggled under the weight. Her
bronze medal at the 2005 world
championships made her a fa-
vorite for the Turin Olympics,
and she was chosen to carry It-
alys ag in the opening ceremo-
ny. But she bombed in the short
program and was only slightly
better in the free skate, nishing
ninth overall. A month later, she
was 12th in the watered-down,
post-Olympic eld at the worlds.

Sutter keys rally as
Penguins top Bruins
PITTSBURGH Brandon
Sutter scored twice in the nal
seven minutes to cap a furious
rally and the Pittsburgh Pen-
guins slipped past the Boston
Bruins 3-2 on Tuesday night.
Chris Kunitz started Pitts-
burghs third-period surge with
his 18th goal of the season and
Sutter beat Bostons Anton
Khudobin twice in less than
four minutes, including the
game-winner with 2:03 remain-
ing.
Marc-Andre Fleury stopped
14 shots for the Penguins, who
broke loose late against the
NHLs best defensive team.
Zdeno Chara and Tyler
Seguin scored rst-period
goals for the Bruins. Khudobin
made 31 saves and the Bruins
kept Pittsburghs high-powered
offense in check until the nal
minutes of a matchup between
two of the Eastern Conferences
best teams.
Sabres 3, Rangers 1
BUFFALO, N.Y. Marcus
Foligno scored twice and
backup goalie Jhonas Enroth
made 18 of his 32 saves in the
third period of the Buffalo
Sabres win over the New York
Rangers.
Enroth, who started because
Ryan Miller was sidelined
because of a sinus infection,
earned his rst victory since
a 5-1 win over Washington on
Nov. 26, 2011. He was 0-9-3 in
16 appearances since then.
Folignos rst goal made it
1-1 at 5:35 of the second period.
His second gave the Sabres a
3-1 lead with 8:12 left in the
game.
Thomas Vanek also scored
for Buffalo (10-14-3), which
returned home after going 0-2-2
on a season-high, four-game
road trip.
Derek Stepan scored a short-
handed goal for the Rangers
(13-10-2), who lost for just the
second time in seven games.
Henrik Lundqvist made 19
saves.
Hurricanes 4, Capitals 0
WASHINGTON Riley
Nash scored twice, Joe Corvo
put one in off the goaltenders
mask, and Justin Peters got his
second career shutout as the
surging Carolina Hurricanes
beat the slumping Washington
Capitals, taking the rst leg of
a key home-and-home series
between the Southeast Division
rivals.
Patrick Dwyer added an emp-
ty-net goal, and Peters made
26 saves for the Hurricanes,
who have won six of seven and
have a 10-point lead over the
Capitals, whose struggles are
one of the big surprises of the
lockout-shortened season. The
division is essentially becoming
a two-team race between Caro-
lina and the Winnipeg Jets.
The Capitals lost their third
straight all by at least a
three-goal margin.
Canucks 2, Blue Jackets 1
COLUMBUS, Ohio Mason
Raymond scored the only goal
in the shootout, and seldom-
used Roberto Luongo stopped
26 shots through overtime to
lead the Vancouver Canucks
past the Columbus Blue Jack-
ets.
Luongo, playing in his second
game in 16 days, stopped
all three Blue Jackets in the
shootout.
Raymond, shooting second
for Vancouver, scored when
he came to a quick stop, got
goalie Sergei Bobrovsky on the
ice, and then easily tapped a
backhander into the net.
Jason Garrison had the lone
goal for the Canucks, who had
lost four straight (0-2-2).
Mark Letestu scored the lone
regulation goal for the Blue
Jackets, who matched a fran-
chise record by earning a point
in an eighth consecutive game
(5-0-3). Their ve-game win-
ning streak ended, one short of
tying the franchise mark.
Lightning 3, Panthers 2
SUNRISE, Fla. Steven
Stamkos snapped a third-period
tie with his NHL-leading 20th
goal, and the Tampa Bay Light-
ning held on to beat the Florida
Panthers despite recording only
13 shots.
Vincent Lecavalier and Mar-
tin St. Louis also scored for the
Lightning, and Anders Lind-
back made 37 saves. St. Louis
added had two assists.
Kris Versteeg and Tomas
Kopecky had goals for the
Panthers. Jacob Markstrom
stopped 10 shots in the loss.
Jets 5, Maple Leafs 2
WINNIPEG, Manitoba
Blake Wheeler scored twice and
Ondrej Pavelec made 24 saves
to lead the Winnipeg Jets to a
victory over the Toronto Maple
Leafs.
Nik Antropov, Kyle Wellwood
and Evander Kane also scored
for the Jets, who have won
three of their last four games.
Dustin Byfuglien had three as-
sists and Antropov had two.
Phil Kessel scored both goals
for Toronto, which is winless in
three straight.
The Jets outhustled and out-
muscled the Leafs while getting
solid goaltending from Pavelec.
The last playoff spot in the
Eastern Conference was again
in sight for the Jets, who were
tied with the New York Rangers
at 28 points apiece, following
the Rangers 3-1 loss to Buffalo
on Tuesday night.
Blues 4, Sharks 2
ST. LOUIS Rookie Jake Al-
len made 39 saves, Chris Stew-
art led a balanced attack with
two goals, and the St. Louis
Blues beat San Jose for their
second win over the Sharks in
three nights.
Brent Burns scored his rst
in his season debut at forward
and Dan Boyle had a late
power-play goal for the Sharks,
who have lost four in a row and
have dropped 10 of 12 to the
Blues, including the rst round
of the playoffs last season.
The Blues overcame a two-
goal decit in a 4-3 overtime
victory Saturday night in San
Jose and clinched this one on
Stewarts empty-netter with
1:16 to go, four seconds after
goalie Antti Niemi was pulled.
Allen has won six of his rst
seven career NHL starts, also
besting the Sharks in San Jose.
Ducks 2, Wild 1
ST. PAUL, Minn. Luca
Sbisa scored the winning goal
with 3:04 left in the third
period, Jonas Hiller made 30
saves, and the Anaheim Ducks
rallied for a victory over the
Minnesota Wild.
Patrick Maroon also scored
for the Ducks, who have won
four straight and gotten points
in eight consecutive games.
Devin Setoguchi scored for
the Wild.

The New Orleans Hornets Robin Lopez goes up past the Brooklyn Nets Reggie Evans during
the rst half of an NBA game on Tuesday in New York.
The Associated Press
NEW YORK Brook Lo-
pez scored 26 points and had
a big dunk over twin brother
Robin, Deron Williams added
21 points and 13 assists, and
the Brooklyn Nets beat the
New Orleans Hornets 108-98
on Tuesday night.
Brooklyn squandered a
10-point lead in the third quar-
ter before pulling off some
timely baskets in the fourth to
hang on for the win, bouncing
back from a poor performance
in a loss Monday at Philadel-
phia.
Eric Gordon led New
Orleans with 24 points. Robin
Lopez had 15 points for the
Hornets, who played without
leading scorer Ryan Anderson
because of the u.
Cavaliers 95, Wizards 90
CLEVELAND Dion
Waiters scored 20 points,
Alonzo Gee added 17 and the
Cleveland Cavaliers held off a
late run to beat the Washing-
ton Wizards.
Cleveland played its rst
game since Kyrie Irving
sprained his left shoulder
Sunday against Toronto. The
All-Star point guard, who
watched the game from the
bench with his left arm in
a sling, could miss the next
month and maybe the rest
of this season. The Cavaliers
are 5-10 without him this
season.
Cleveland led 90-78 with
4:29 remaining, but the Wiz-
ards cut the margin to 91-88
with 45 seconds remaining.
Bobcats 100, Celtics 74
CHARLOTTE, N.C.
Gerald Henderson had a
career-high 35 points, and the
Charlotte Bobcats snapped a
10-game losing streak with a
win over the Boston Celtics.
Henderson was 11 of 19
from the eld and knocked
down all 12 of his foul shots.
Ben Gordon scored 17
points and new starting
forward Josh McRoberts had
his rst double-double for
Charlotte with 13 points and
10 rebounds.
Lakers 106, Magic 97
ORLANDO, Fla. Dwight
Howard scored a season-high
39 points, had 16 rebounds
and was sent to the free throw
line 39 times by his former
team as the Los Angeles Lak-
ers beat the Orlando Magic.
The victory came in How-
ards rst return to Orlando
since his drama-lled offsea-
son trade to the Lakers. He
endured a chorus of boos
throughout, and tied his own
NBA record for free throw
attempts.
The majority of them came
as the Magic tried to employ
an intentional foul strategy.
It backred, though, as the
All-Star center hit on 16 of 20
attempts in the second half.
Mavericks 115, Bucks 108
MILWAUKEE Vince Cart-
er hit three key 3-pointers in
the fourth quarter and scored
23 points off the bench as the
Dallas Mavericks won their
fourth straight with a victory
over the Milwaukee Bucks.
Dirk Nowitzki added 19
points while O.J. Mayo had 14.
Mavericks rookie and former
Marquette star Jae Crowder,
last years Big East player of
the year, was one off his career
high with 14 points.
Timberwolves 107,
Spurs 83
MINNEAPOLIS Ricky
Rubio had his rst career
triple-double with 21 points,
13 rebounds and 12 assists,
leading the Minnesota Tim-
berwolves to a victory over
the San Antonio Spurs.
Rubio made 9 of 17 shots
and grabbed his 10th board
with 9:14 to play in the game,
giving his home fans some-
thing to cheer about in a long,
frustrating season. Alexey Sh-
ved broke out of a big slump
to score 16 points and J.J.
Barea added 17 points for the
Wolves, who hit 12 3-pointers.
Lopez helps Nets sting Hornets
INDIAN WELLS, Calif.
Top-ranked Novak Djokovic
reached the fourth round at the
BNP Paribas Open on Tuesday
when he beat Grigor Dimitrov
7-6 (4), 6-1 for his 20th consecu-
tive victory.
Defending womens champi-
on Victoria Azarenka extended
her own streak despite a nag-
ging ankle problem, routing
Urszula Radwanska 6-3, 6-1 for
her 17th straight win.
No. 3 seed Andy Murray
and No. 8 Caroline Wozniacki
played night matches.
Djokovic trailed 5-3 in the
rst set when the 21-year-old
Bulgarian committed six dou-
ble faults, including four in one
game, to help the Serb force the
tiebreaker. Djokovic won it on a
backhand error by the youngest
player remaining in the draw.
It was not really a beautiful
match to watch, Djokovic said.
There were a lot of unforced
errors, and we both look quite
sluggish on the court.
Dimitrov was broken twice in
the second set while falling to
1-17 against top-10 opponents.
He did all the work making
winners and making unforced
errors, Djokovic said. I just
needed to hang in there and try
to be patient.
Djokovic moves on to play
Sam Querrey, a 7-6 (5), 6-7 (7),
7-5 winner over Marinko Mato-
sevic.
Djokovic hasnt lost since
Oct. 31, when Querrey beat
him at the indoors Paris Mas-
ters.
He does everything really
well: unbelievable forehand,
unbelievable backhand, moves
around the court great, re-
turns great. Its tough to pick
on something, Querrey said.
I might have to go outside of
my comfort zone a little bit and
do things I dont like to do, and
hopefully it will pay off for me.
Querrey is poised to take
over as the top-ranked Ameri-
can in the mens game albeit
not in the top 10 fromMardy
Fish, who lost 7-6 (4), 7-6 (0) to
No. 8 seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
Maria Sharapova joined
Azarenka in the quarternals
with a 7-5, 6-0 win over Lara
Arruabarrena-Vecino of Spain,
someone she had never played
before.
Sharapova trailed 2-0 and 3-2
in the rst set before rallying
on a cloudless day in the desert
when temperature reached the
lower 90s.
Just didnt get a good
rhythm on her game from the
beginning, she said. Maybe I
was going for the lines a little
bit more than I had to, espe-
cially in the rst few games
when you dont know too much
about your opponent or havent
played her.

Two Kings athletes were
honored on Tuesday as Chris
Sweeney and Maggie Gola were
named Freedom Conference
Player of the Week for baseball
and softball, respectively.
Sweeney, a senior, helped
lead the Monarchs to a 4-1
record last week, making some
history in the process. The
Crestwood grad became the
rst Kings player in more than
20 years to hit for the cycle,
accomplishing the feat in a 16-5
win over Emerson on March 4.
For the week, Sweeney batted
.619 with eight extra-base hits,
including three doubles, three
triples and two home runs. He
also had a 1.333 slugging per-
centage, seven RBI and seven
runs scored.
Gola, meanwhile, hit three
home runs to push the Lady
Monarchs to a matching 4-1
record on the week. She batted
.500 with ve extra-base hits
and a 1.167 slugging percent-
age.
A Nanticoke alum, Gola hit
two of her three home runs in
a 4-2 victory over York College.
In a game against Penn State
Harrisburg, she added another
homer and a three-run double
to lead the Lady Monarchs to a
14-0 win.
WOMENS LACROSSE

ing percentage and the top

L O C A L R O U N D U P
NEW YORK C.J. Garner
scored a career-high 31 points
and LIU Brooklyn punched its
ticket for the NCAA tourna-
ment with a 91-70 win over
Mount St. Marys on Tuesday
night in the nals of the North-
east Conference tournament.
Jamal Olasewere added 15
points and 10 rebounds for
the Blackbirds (20-13), who
became the only team to win
three straight conference tour-
nament titles. Coach Jack Perri
also became the third coach in
the conference to win the title
in his rst year on the job.
After a frantic back-and-forth
rst half, LIU Brooklyn opened
the second half with a 35-31
lead. Led by a decisive dunk
by Olasewere and a three-point
play from Garner, the Black-
birds went on a 13-4 run to go
ahead by 13 only 6 minutes into
the half.
LIU Brooklyn didnt allow
Mount St. Marys to pull closer
than 12 the rest of the way.
Sam Prescott scored 21
points for the Mountaineers
(18-14).
The enthusiastic LIU Brook-
lyn crowd, which spent much
of the second half chanting
Brooklyn Three-peat, stormed
the oor to celebrate what was
a career night for Garner and
a denitive statement for the
small LIU program.
It also cut the Mount Saint
Marys comeback from an ugly
start to the season a bit short.
The fth-seeded Mountaineers
came in riding a nine-game
win streak after upsetting
top-seeded Robert Morris for a
chance to play in the nals. A
win for Mount St. Marys would
have topped an impressive
turnaround for the team, which
started a dismal 2-6 in confer-
ence play.
During the rst half, it
seemed as though the Moun-
taineers would take this one.
LIU Brooklyn didnt grab its
rst lead until more than 10
minutes had passed. From
there, it was back-and-forth
with ve lead changes until
the Blackbirds took over in the
second half.
Prescott started 4-for-4 from
3-point range before going cold
in the second half for the Moun-
taineers, while Garner scored
17 of his points and Olasewere
10 after the break. The Black-
birds for close 68 percent in the
second half.
Garner, who averaged 28
points during the tournament,
was named its most valuable
player.
Seton Hall 46,
South Florida 42
NEW YORK Fuquan Ed-
win scored 17 points, including
the nal six in regulation, and
Seton Hall rallied past South
Florida in overtime in the
unsightly opener of a last-of-its-
kind Big East tournament.
Gene Teague added 14 points
and 10 rebounds for the 12th-
seeded Pirates (15-17), who
face No. 19 Syracuse in the
second round on Wednesday
afternoon.
Even after playing an extra
5 minutes, the teams barely
eclipsed the lowest-scoring
game in Big East tournament
history, Georgetowns 46-41
rst-round victory over Villa-
nova in 2003.
Zach LeDay had 13 points
and 15 rebounds to lead No.
13 seed South Florida (12-19),
which shot 24.2 percent and
squandered an eight-point cush-
ion down the stretch in a game
between offensively challenged
squads that both went 3-15 in
conference play this season.

HARTFORD, Conn. Nata-
lie Achonwas layup with 1.8
seconds left lifted No. 2 Notre

nament championship with a
61-59 victory over third-ranked
UConn on Tuesday night.
Skylar Diggins stole an errant
pass from Kaleena Mosqueda-
Lewis with 8 seconds left, and
after dribbling through a few
defenders, found Achonwa for
the uncontested lay-in.
Kelly Faris 3-point heave
from 65 feet fell harmlessly off
the backboard, setting off a wild
celebration for the Irish, who
have won 26 straight games.
Notre Dame (31-1) had been
in the title game six times,
including the previous two, and
lost to the Huskies in each one.
The Irish werent going to be
denied in their nal chance to
win an elusive Big East tourna-
ment championship. Earlier
in the day, Notre Dame an-
nounced it would be joining the
ACC starting next season a
year earlier than expected.

proval for certication as a Primary

only hospital in Lackawanna County to
be honored with the distinction.
Bon-Ton results higher
The Bon-Ton Stores Inc. reported
Tuesday its operating results for the
fourth quarter and scal year 2012
showing that comparable store sales
increased 1 percent as compared with
the same period last year, according to
a news release.
Gross margin rate increased 160
basis points to 36.2 percent, compared
with 34.6 percent in the fourth quarter
of scal 2011. Operating income in-
creased $14.9 million to $95.3 million,
compared with $80.5 million in the
fourth quarter last year.
Net income decreased to $74.4 mil-
lion, in comparison with $78.2 million
in the same period last year.
More jobs are advertised
U.S. employers advertised more job
openings in January, suggesting that
hiring will remain healthy in the com-
ing months.
Job openings rose 2.2 percent in Jan-
uary from December to 3.69 million,
the Labor Department said Tuesday.
Openings had fallen nearly 5 percent
in December. They are still below
Novembers level of nearly 3.8 mil-
lion. There were other positive signs:
Employers laid off the fewest workers
in January than in any month since re-
cords began in 2001. And the number
of Americans quitting their jobs rose
to the highest in more than four years.
People usually quit when they have
another job, so more quitting suggests
it is easier to nd work.
There is still a lot of competition
for open positions. About 12.3 million
people were unemployed in January.
That means there were 3.3 unem-

More thantwo dozenof the
worlds largest pharmaceuti-
cal companies have agreed
to provide funding and other
support to Interpols battle
against counterfeit prescrip-
tion drugs, the international
police agency said Tuesday.
Interpols newly created
Pharmaceutical Crime Pro-
gram aims to help health
agencies, police and customs
bureaus in countries around
the globe stem the supply of
bogus brand-name and ge-
neric medicines, as well as
identify and dismantle the
organized crime rings dis-
tributing them.
Those rings, which operate
across borders, are raking in
billions of dollars every year,
costing legitimate drugmak-
ers a small fortune in lost
sales. Meanwhile patients
who unknowingly take coun-
terfeit drugs often are poi-
soned or get sicker because
theyre not receiving what the
doctor prescribed. Experts es-
timate hundreds of thousands
of people around the world
die because of counterfeit
medicines each year.
The pharmaceutical com-
panies have pledged a total of
nearly $5.9 million over three
years to help Interpol with
efforts including training lo-
cal law enforcement ofcials
on investigative procedures,
evidence handling and how
to better work with partners
outside their countries.
Interpol also will help
those authorities build up
their infrastructure and tar-
get enforcement actions
against crime rings that
make and sell fake drugs,
and also divert medication il-
legally to countries where its
not approved.
We will develop a program
according to what is best for
the international commu-
nity and what will save lives,
Aline Plancon, head of Inter-
pols counterfeiting and phar-
maceutical crime program,
told The Associated Press in
an exclusive interview.
Drugmakers, Interpol crack down on fake meds
By LINDA A. JOHNSON
AP Business Writer
WASHINGTON Applying for
benets under President Barack
Obamas health care overhaul could be
as daunting as doing your taxes.
The governments draft application
runs 15pages for athree-personfamily.
An outline of the online version has 21
steps, some with additional questions.
Seven months before the Oct. 1
start of enrollment season for millions
of uninsured Americans, the idea that
getting health insurance could be as
easy as shopping online at Amazon or
Travelocityis startingtolooklikewish-
ful thinking.
At least three major federal agen-
cies, including the IRS, will scrutinize
your application. Checking your iden-
tity, income and citizenship is sup-
posed to happen in real time, if you
apply online.
Thats only the rst part of the
process, which lets you know if you
qualify for nancial help. The govern-
ment asks to see what youre making
because Obamas Affordable Care Act
is means-tested, with lower-income
people getting the most generous help
to pay premiums.
Once youre nished with the mon-
ey part, actually picking a health plan
will require additional steps, plus a ba-
sic understanding of insurance jargon.
Andits a mandate, not a suggestion.
The law says virtually all Americans
must carry health insurance starting
next year, although most will just keep
the coverage they now have through
their jobs, Medicare or Medicaid.
Some are concerned that a lot of un-
insured people will be overwhelmed
and simply give up.
This lengthy draft application will
take a considerable amount of time to
ll out and will be difcult for many
people to be able to complete, said
Ron Pollack, executive director of
Families USA, an advocacy group sup-
porting the health care law. It does
not get you to the selection of a plan.
When you combine those two pro-
cesses, it is enormously time consum-
ing and complex, added Pollack. Hes
calling for the government to simplify
the form and, more important, for an
army of counselors to help uninsured
people navigate the new system. Its
unclear who would pay for these navi-
gators.
Drafts of the paper application and
a 60-page description of the online
version were quietly posted online
by the Health and Human Services
Department, seeking feedback from
industry and consumer groups. Those
materials, along with a recent HHS
presentation to insurers, run counter
to the vision of simplicity promoted by
administration ofcials.
Health plan
chock-full
of red tape
By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR
Associated Press
PLAINS TWP. Chris Bellezza is
one of the 9.5 percent of the Wilkes-
Barre metro areas labor force thats un-
employed.
His lack of a job is not for lack of try-
ing. Over the past ve years the Dallas
woman has lled or sent out more than
400 applications or resumes, she said.
None has led to a job.
She was back at it again Tuesday as
one of hundreds of people who visited
the annual spring career fair hosted by
The Times Leader and held at The
Woodlands Inn & Resort. Most par-
ticipants seemed to be experienced job
seekers, thanks to the aftereffects of the
recession that began in 2009, and came
armed with resumes in hand.
Others, such as Jack Brock of Wilkes-
Barre, are newtothe game. Brockwas at-
tendinghis rst jobfair. Only20years old
and anxious to nd full-time work with
benets, he wasnt sure what he would
ndat the event, but he knewthat sitting
at home wouldnt have led to a job.
He declined to mention where he cur-
rently works, other than it deals with
food, but said he knows that having only
a high school diploma makes it tough to
landa decent jobinany jobmarket, espe-
cially in this one.
Im trying to prove to someone that
Im a hard worker and will be a good t,
but theres plenty of people like me say-
ing the same thing, so its stiff competi-
tion and I knowit, Brock said.
Bellezza previously heard the same
thing about the lack of higher-education
listings on her resume. Everywhere I
went, if you had a high school diploma,
it was unacceptable, she said.
So she spent nearly $10,000 over the
past two years attaining her associates
degree online through Everest Univer-
sity, based in Orlando, Fla. She hopes it
will be the difference between the reject-
ed pile and the potential interviewpile.
Immuch more marketable now, she
said condently.
For Tabitha Walters, of Dallas, the past
two months felt like an eternity. She quit
her job in Northampton County when
she moved to Luzerne County to live
closer to her parents. Employed in some
capacity since she was 12 her rst
job was as a babysitter she said being
without work for this amount of time is
getting to her.
I have the smell of desperation, she
said, before heading into the career fair
and toward the booth for Sallie Mae, the
nancial services provider with a loca-
tion in Hanover Township. That compa-
ny, one of the bigger draws Tuesday, had
about 100 jobs that needed to be lled.
Thirty-seven companies were repre-
sented at the fair; they included Express
Stafng, which is contracted by 100 area
businesses to ll temporary stafng posi-
tions. Emily Socha, an Express represen-
tative, said the career fair is a smart way
to nd the right talent for good compa-
nies.

March is the
wild-card month.
Were almost
out the door with
winter, but Mother
Nature might still
give us a jab or two.
I hope not, because
I just nished burning my snowshovel
to stay warm.
Between my stand-up comedy and
cooking career, I bring to you a great
recipe for a Friday during Lent. St.
Peters sh, as tilapia is referred to in
some parts of the world, is most com-
monly farm-raised. It has a very neutral
avor and suits many culinary applica-
tions well. The best tilapia to purchase
would be found in the fresh-sh section
at your grocery, but you can use the
frozen variety.
What I ampresenting is simply a
sh sandwich, a very good one. Stay
home and cook on Friday and save the
pizza for Saturday. Large pie with sweet
sauce and pork sausage please.

Start out by breading your sh. Flour,

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
zest of an orange

3-4 dashes of hot pepper sauce
2 tablespoons pickle relish
salt and pepper to taste
Combine all ingredients. Refrigerate

FORTHE ORANGE/CARROT SLAW
2 oranges, peeled and wedged
2 large carrots, peeled and grated
1/2 mediumred onion, sliced
2 tablespoons rice-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
2 tablespoons sesame oil
salt and pepper, to taste
In a small bowl add the vinegar, honey
and mustard. Slowly whisk in the oil. Sea-
son with salt and pepper. Add the carrot
and oranges and incorporate.
Put a large saut pan on the stovetop.
Pour about 1/4inch of oil into pan and wait
for it to heat. The sh will be pan-fried
for about 3-4minutes on each side. Its
important for the oil to be hot when you
begin frying. Also, a sh spatula is a great
tool to have in your culinary toolbox. When
the sh is cooked, place on a plate with a
paper towel to absorb some of the extra
oil. Season the sh with salt and pepper.
Panko breadcrumbs are great to fry with
because they already absorb less oil than
regular breadcrumbs. Put sh on the roll,
cover with cheese and spinach and top
with tartar sauce. Serve with some of the
carrot and orange slawon the side and
boom! Agreat sh sandwich for some
even better people.
AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER
Chef Ray Feist prepared this Tila-
pia Grinder at the Wyoming Valley
Country Club in Hanover Township,
where he is executive chef.
On a trip to Dublin last summer,
my husband and older daughter spent
an afternoon studying the Book of
Kells, my younger daughter browsed
the racks at Topshop, and I spent a
couple of hours at the charming Avoca
Caf, sipping tea and devouring an en-
tire loaf of the places signature seeded
brown bread. The combination of obvi-
ous healthfulness and luxurious rich-
ness was unforgettable, and Ive had
it in the back of my mind ever since
to re-create this perfect quick bread in
my own kitchen. Finally, I gave it a try.
I began with the recipe in the Avoca
Caf Cookbook but learned quickly
that it would require some tweaking.
First of all, there was the issue of our.
Avocas brown bread is made with two
parts white our and 3 parts coarse-
ly ground whole meal our, which can
be mail-ordered from specialty baking
websites such as The Bakers Catalog,
but is difcult to nd in local super-
markets and health-food stores outside
Ireland and England. This our is rela-
tively low in protein and ecked with
wheat germ. Quick breads baked with
whole meal our have a soft, crumbly
texture and nutty avor. Substitut-
ing regular American whole wheat
our resulted in a tough bread with a
tight crumb. To get a more authentic
and pleasing result, I used two parts
white our to 1 parts whole wheat,
and some extra wheat bran and wheat
germ for texture.
Then there was the issue of seeds.
The Avoca recipe contained a combi-
nation of sunower, sesame, ax, pop-
py and pumpkin seeds. I happened to
have the rst three in my pantry, so I
stuck with those. I didnt feel bad, be-
cause this combination lent plenty of
nutritional value, as well as avor and
crunch. Sunower seeds are rich in fo-
late, vitamin E and minerals. Sesame
seeds add calcium and a cholesterol-
lowering ber called lignan. Flaxseeds
have become famous for their heart-

Tilapia is a forgiving sh. Its rm esh
means it takes well to grilling, broiling, baking
and pan sauting. And generally one tilapia l-
let is a decent serving for most appetites.
Tilapia can be bland. So if youre cooking tila-
pia, look to other ingredients to avor the sh.
Todays recipe pairs tilapia with ngerling
potatoes, tomatoes, olives and capers.
Kalamata olives and capers are great pantry
staples. Both have great salty-briny avor, and
a little of each goes a long way. Because of their
saltiness, you can scale back on much of the
salt in the recipe.
Kalamata olives are Greek black olives that
are about to 1 inch long and almond-shaped.
Many are a deep purplish color. Typically, they
are packed in a brine and sometimes in olive oil.
Simple uses of kalamata olives include set-
ting them out as an appetizer, processing them
into a paste with olive oil and other ingredi-
ents to make tapenade, and roasting themwith
sh, chicken and even lamb. Kalamata olives
are common fare at stores that have so-called
Mediterranean olive bars. These olive bars typ-
ically have several varieties of olives, including
green olives, sometimes along with artichoke

And the oils in all of these
seeds gave the bread the rich
avor I craved.
Any combination of seeds
will work, as long as you add
about 7 tablespoons total.
Avoid roasted seeds, which
lose much of their heart-
healthy oils when processed.
The technique couldnt be
easier.
Mix together the dry ingre-
dients, add the milk and a few
tablespoons of molasses, and
stir.
The dough came together
in ve minutes at. As with
all quick breads, minimal han-
dling is important for the best
result. Stir just until the dough
comes together.
Overmixing will toughen
it up. At Avoca, the bread is
baked in a loaf pan, but I want-
ed my bread to look as well as
taste Irish, so I shaped it into
a round and then cut an X into
the top with a sharp knife to
give it a traditional soda bread
shape.
I cranked the oven tempera-
ture up to 400, so the bread
would rise quickly and devel-
op a thick, crunchy crust. A
sprinkling of wheat germ on
top added to the craggy, rustic
look of the baked bread.
Perhaps the most difcult
thing about making this bread
is the nal step: Allowing it to
cool at least one hour before
eating it up.

SEEDED BROWN

Slathered with butter (try Irish
Kerrygold for maximum au-
thenticity) and marmalade, this
bread is perfect for breakfast or

But it could just as easily be
served alongside a stew for a

with corned beef and cabbage

hearts, roasted red peppers and
fresh mozzarella.
If you buy kalamatas with
pits, its easy to remove them:
Press a long chefs knife along
the back of the olive and smash
it. The olives semi-soft esh
will split, revealing the pit.
When you buy olives from an
olive bar, choose those that are
already pitted unless youre
going to set them out on an ap-
petizer tray. It will save time and
money because most olives bars
charge by the pound whether
the olives are pitted or not.
Capers are the ower bud of a
bush indigenous to the Mediter-
ranean and parts of Asia. They
are green and smaller than a pe-
tite pea.
Along with a salty taste, they
have a hint of herbs. You will
nd them in small jars near the
olives at most grocery stores.
Capers are packed in salty brine,
so they should be drained and
rinsed before using to get rid of
some of the salt. Be sure to re-
serve the brine, pouring it back
into the jar, to keep any remain-
ing capers submerged. Once
opened, capers should be stored
in the refrigerator.

Chef Jon Molnar

, a
major specialty food com-
pany, has announced a
breakthrough new prod-
uct, The Namath Infrared
RapidCooker

produced
by EdenPURE

.
The Namath Infrared
RapidCooker

is guaran-
teed to cook steaks better
than any steak you ever
had at a restaurant.
It is also guaranteed
t o cook steaks that taste
as good as Peter Lugers
in New York City which
is the nations top rated
steak restaurant.
When you taste a steak
or other food cooked in
this RapidCooker

, you
will never go back to your
old cooking appliances.
You cannot come close
to getting this quality of
taste in meat with your
kitchen broiler or your gas
grill or even a $10,000.00
commercial restaurant
broiler or gas grill.
The Namath Infrared
RapidCooker

has far in-

frared heat which cooks
faster, saves money, makes
food taste much better and
has many health benefits.
It cooks a one inch thick
porterhouse steak in 4
minutes.
Here is my exclusive
interview with Joe Na-
math to provide details of
this sensational new prod-
uct, The Namath Infrared
RapidCooker

.
Q: How did a famous
Hall of Fame NFL Foot-
bal l Quarterback get
i nvolved with a Rapid-
Cooker

?
A: My cousin is Chef
Jon Molnar who runs The
Chef Jon Molnar

Spe-
cialty Food Company.
I mentioned to Jon that,
now that I live in Florida,
I really miss the food in
New York rest aurant s,
especially the steaks and
pizzas. The top NewYork
steak restaurants have the
best tasting steaks in the
world, especially Peter
Lugers which was rated
the best steakhouse in the
nation by USA Today.
I asked Jon if he could
fi gur e out what Pet er
Lugers does to make the
steaks taste so good. So,
Jon went t o New Yor k
with one of his assistants
and goes to this nations
best steakhouse in Brook-
lyn, Peter Lugers.
Jon was able to look in-
side Peter Lugers kitch-
en. He found their big se-
cret is this. They cook
their steaks with infrared
heat. Infrared cooks much
faster than all other heat
sources. The infrared heat
caramelizes the surface of
the steak which seals in
the flavor, nutrit i on and
juices.
All of this has many
health benefits. My Rapid-
Cooker

is better. It has
infrared heat that cooks
even fast er t han Pet er
Luger s and has mor e
health benefits. My Rapid-
Cooker

cooks 2 times
faster than conventional
heat sources.
Q: What are these
health benefits?
A: First, you can put
the heat source above the
food you are cooking. The
excess f at dr i ps down
which is caught in a pan.
This reduces the fat con-
tent and calories of food.
The process also seals in
more nutrition in foods.
Far infrared heat is well
documented scientifically
to have health benefits.
Also, when you grill
meat, it is hard not to burn
it. Burnt meat is a carcino-
gen which is well docu-
mented in the medical
profession. With the heat
above, it is very easy to
avoid burning meat.
Q: What are all the
foods you can cook with
The Namath Infrared
RapidCooker

?
A: It will make the best
tasting steaks, ribs, chick-
en, burgers, and fish that
you ever tasted. It will al-
so cook vegetables in a
way that maximizes their
taste and crispness. You
can buy frozen French
fries and instead of baking
them in a regular oven
which leaves them soggy,
you can broil them, and
they will be crisp.
Q: How does The Na-
math Infrared Rapid-
Cooker

save the con-

sumer money?
A: It saves money in a
number of ways. The far
infrared heat produces
heat for 30% less than
conventional heat sources.
So, you can save 50% on
cooking costs. My Rapid-
Cooker

cooks so fast
you do not have to cook
l arge bat ches of food.
Government studies show
that 25% of food is wast-
ed because people cook
more than the amounts
they need. Therefore, my
RapidCooker

will pay
for itself in a very short
time.
Q: Where can you use
The Namath Infrared
RapidCooker

?
A: It comes in your
choice of gas or electric
so you can use it any-
where. The gas model uses
a small bottle of pro-
pane and it will also use a
large bottle of propane
gas. It is portable and
weighs only 18 pounds.
You can use it in your
kitchen, on your patio or
on your porch. It is perfect
for tailgating. It is great if
you have a camping trailer
or motor home. You can
also use it in motel rooms
when you travel and save
a lot of money on food yet
eat like a king.
You can feed a large
group really fast because
my RapidCooker

cooks
twice as fast as gas grills,
charcoal grills or stoves.
You cannot come close
to getting this quality of
taste in meat with your
kitchen broiler or your gas
grill or even a $10,000.00
commercial restaurant
broiler or gas grill.
Q. How can my read-
ers get The Namath In-
frared RapidCooker

?
A. Today I am offering
your readers a major dis-
count of $75.00 off the
regular price, plus free
shipping and handling if

HOW TO CONTACT:
Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Ange-
les, CA 90069
For more Sudoku go to www.timesleader.com
O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I have
been married 30
years and have raised
four children. I re-
cently found out my
husband has been
having an affair with
a prostitute from a
strip club. He promised to marry her.
She was 26 when it started; he is 56.
He told her he was divorced. When I
confronted him, he lied, lied, lied.
He wants to continue living togeth-
er and pretend nothing happened. He
went to counseling and quit. Then he
went to a psychiatrist, who diagnosed
him with a mixed personality disor-
der. He says he wants to make up for
his mistake with me, but all the while
he was having unprotected sex.
I doubt hell ever stop lying to me
because he always has. I cant spend
the rest of my life looking over my
shoulder because this has happened
before, although not to this extent.
During this long affair, he was
brazen, arrogant and abusive to me.
Now he wants to be attentive, but he
makes me sick. What do I do?
Cant Trust Him in New Jersey
Dear Cant Trust Him: Only you can
decide that, but in order to do it ratio-
nally, without anger or vengefulness,
Im advising you to make up your
mind AFTER some sessions with a
psychologist on your own. What your
husband wants at this point is far less
important than what YOU want. And
why you would want to continue in a
marriage to an abusive philanderer is
something only you can answer.
Dear Abby: I am a gay man who has
been single for years. I met this guy,
Mark, about 10 months ago and we
hit it off immediately. We have almost
everything in common except that
Im a Democrat and hes a Republi-
can. We both know how we feel about
our political differences and decided
to continue dating anyway.
My problem concerns my other gay
friends, mostly Democrats, who dont
like Mark because hes a Republican.
I have tried explaining to them that
we overlook our differences and con-
centrate on the many things we have
in common, and they should try to do
the same. But they no longer invite
me to gatherings and their phone
calls have ceased.
I feel hurt and rejected by my
friends, some of whom I have known
my whole life. I feel torn between
them and Mark, who is someone I re-
ally care for. Is it wrong to continue
my relationship with my boyfriend at
the expense of my friends?
Politically Incorrect
Dear Politically Incorrect: Twenty-
twelve was a particularly heated
election year, with important issues
at stake and negative campaign-
ing bringing out the worst in many
people. Now that the election has
been decided, one would hope that
inflamed emotions will settle down
and life can return to normal.
I know several couples who have
strong and happy mixed marriages
in which the spouses do not always
agree politically. It is a shame that
you would be required to choose be-
tween the man you care for and your
longtime friends, who want to ignore
that there are also gay Republicans.
I see nothing wrong with continu-
ing your relationship with Mark; how-
ever, I think it may be time for you to
expand your circle of friends if this is
how your old ones behave.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Wife cant forgive man who cheated on her for years with a prostitute
To receive a collection of Abbys most memo-
rable and most frequently requested po-
ems and essays, send a business-sized, self-
addressed envelope, plus check or money
order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear
Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box 447, Mount Mor-
ris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Even
though science has made it
unnecessary for you to spend
hours washing clothes or prepar-
ing food, you may still feel like
the responsibilities of domestic
life are consuming your energy.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A bit
of comic drama is played out
delightfully before you. Were you
supposed to see this? Maybe
not, but youll be glad your sense
of timing put you in this position.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Youre
connected to people. You feel
their absence when they are not
around, and you wonder what
they might be doing and thinking
in their bubble of experience so
far away from you.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Those
who dont know you will watch to
see what role you take on. Youll
show them that you are not frail
and dependent on the might and
salvation of another. Rather, you
are the hero of this story.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Youll be lit
up with the excitement of some
secret that you are sharing with
a kindred spirit. Tonight offers
the chance to let the cat out of
the bag, but you probably wont.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will
be drawn to enigmatic people.
This could send you Googling or
asking others who might know
the inside scoop. The informa-
tion you gather will be mostly
speculation.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Youll be
aware of the complexities and
varieties involved in words such
as friend, married or sister.
Do not assume to know what
these words mean when others
say them.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Do your
best, but dont vow to give your
whole self to any person or task
today. How could you possibly do
that when you dont even know
your whole self just yet? Youre
better off learning more.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
The color blue can soothe your
soul. Just imagining it can
change your physiology, slow-
ing your pulse and making you
breathe deeper. Use this and
other tricks to remain calm in
the excitement of the day.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). This
is an excellent day to change
your diet. Youll enjoy learning
about new foods, tasting differ-
ent combinations and, afterward,
gauging the way those foods
made you feel.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your
intellectual self doesnt often
think about your natural self, but
no matter. Your natural self isnt
reliant on a thought process, but
rather on the kind of instinctive
moves youll make today.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Maybe
you dont always use the right
words or know the appropriate
thing to say in every situation.
But you come at people with
your heart open, and thats just
what they need now.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (March 13).
Youll tap into a younger part of
you and reclaim the hope you
once had. Only this time, youll
be smarter about how to go
about bringing your wishes into
reality. Someone close to you
will have a change of mood, and
everything will suddenly be more
fun in April. Your lucky numbers
are: 30, 1, 15, 45 and 22.
