DALLAS TWP. A senior at Dallas
High School with a career goal of be-
coming a cavalry scout in the U.S. Ar-
my died after his pickup truck struck a
tree along Kunkle-Alderson Road near
Lake Street on Mon-
day morning.
The Luzerne
County Coroners
Office identified the
man as Thomas E.
Lynch, 18, of Har-
veys Lake. He was
alone in the vehicle.
Police Chief Rob-
ert Jolley said Lynch, operating a
Chevrolet S10, was traveling east on
Kunkle-Alderson Road when the vehi-
cle left the roadway and struck a large
tree at about 7:50 a.m.
Jolley said it was likely Lynch was
headed to school at the time of the
crash. It remained unknown if Lynch
was wearing a seat belt.
The roadway was generally dry but
wet in spots and may have been ice
covered earlier in the morning, Jol-
Thomas E. Lynch, 18, who planned to be an Army
cavalry scout, died after his pickup ran off a road

HARRISBURG A judge
ruled Monday that former
Penn State assistant football
coach Jerry Sandusky can
have supervised contact with
most of his grandchildren, say-
ing there was no evidence that
the childrens parents
wouldnt be
able to keep
them safe.
Judge
John Cleland
also rejected
requests by
prosecutors
that jurors be
brought in
fromoutside the State College
area to hear the case and that
Sandusky remain indoors
while on home confinement
before trial.
Prosecutors made the bail
modification request after
hearing concerns by neigh-
bors about the safety of chil-
dren, particularly at an ele-
mentary school behind Sand-
uskys house.
The commonwealth failed
to present any evidence what-
soever that the defendant pre-
sents a clearly defined threat
to any student at the adjoining
elementary school simply by
being on his deck, Cleland
wrote.
Sandusky faces 52 criminal
counts for what prosecutors
say was the sexual abuse of 10
boys over a 15-year period. He
has denied the allegations.
Sanduskys lawyer issued a
statement saying Sandusky,
his wife and their family were
relieved by and pleased with
the visitation ruling, which
pertains to all but three of his

WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama unveiled a $3.8
trillion spending plan on Mon-
day for 2013 that seeks to
achieve $4 trillion in deficit re-
duction over the next decade
but does little torestraingrowth
in the governments huge health
benefit programs, a major cause
of future deficits.
Obamas new budget was im-
mediately attacked by Republi-
cans as a retread of previously
rejected ideas. The budget bat-
tle is likely to be a major compo-
nent of the fall election cam-
paign.
The president would achieve
$1.5 trillion of the deficit reduc-
tions in tax increases on the
wealthy and by removing cer-
tain corporate tax breaks. Oba-
ma rejected GOP charges of
class warfare. In his budget
message, he said, This is not
about class warfare. This is
about the nations welfare.
In a message that repeated
populist themes Obama also
sounded in his State of the
Unionaddress, the president de-
fended his proposed tax increas-
es on the wealthy, saying it was
important that the burden of
getting deficits under control be
a shared responsibility.
This is about making fair
choices that benefit not just the

LEHMAN TWP. To hold
steady is what Lake-Lehman
School District can anticipate in
the wake of the news of Gov. Tom
Corbetts proposed budget.
Monday night, school board
Business Manager Thomas Mel-
one of Albert B. Melone Co., Pitt-
ston, told the board members
that if the numbers hold out, and
nothing changes with the states
proposed budget, the district
could break even.
But with the states budget ap-
proval deadline of June 30 still
months away, hestressedthepro-
posed the numbers are just tenta-
tive.
Comparing school funding
from Corbetts 2012-2013 budget
proposal to funding from the
2011-2012 state budget, Melone
said the district may expect to re-
ceive the same for basic educa-
tion funding of $6,479,800, an in-
crease of $44,380 in Social Secu-
rity reimbursement to $511,955,
an increase of $21,787 in pupil
transportation to $1,452,829 and
tokeepspecial educationfunding
at $1,113,910.
One area of funding loss is the
Accountability Block Grant from
the state Department of Educa-
tion that will not be available to
the district for the 2012-2013
school year. The district received
$114,580 from ABG for the cur-
rent school year.
With all the components fig-
ured in, Melone said, the district
couldseea loss of $48,413instate
funding from 2011-2012 school
year to 2012-2013.
He said that because the pro-
posed state budget could still
change, he will keep the board
updated on the situation.
Last years significant cut of
state funding caused a hole in the
budget that the school board
strived to fill, cutting back on
supplies andnot replacingretired
teachers. Just last month the dis-
trict approved a preliminary bud-
get of $27.4 million with a 4.4 in-
crease inthe property tax millage
rates.

ST. HEDWIGS RECTORY IS RAZED
DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER
A
piece of heavy equipment sits on top of rubble that was once the rectory of St.
Hedwigs Church, Kingston. The church closed in 2008. Parishioners now attend St.
Ignatius of Loyola Church in Kingston along with those from St. Marys Annunciation
Church.
DALLAS TWP. -- Students and
parents addressed the Dallas
School Board on Monday about
the recent usage of metal detec-
tors at the senior high school.
Before the meeting began, the
board held a moment of silence
in honor of 18-year-old Dallas
High School student Thomas
Lynch, of Harveys Lake, who
died in a vehicle crash Monday
morning.
Board President Catherine
Wega said Lynch was an Eagle
Scout who had already enlisted
in the U.S. military, and planned
to attend basic training in Fort
Benning, Ga.
During the meeting, parents
andstudents discussedthe metal
detectors at the high school that
have been in use since Feb. 1.
Principal Jeffrey Shaffer said
the system is randomized -- all
students walk through the detec-
tion system when entering the
new building, but only some are
scanned.
Paul Paci, of Dallas, whose
daughter attends the school, said
he disagrees with the notion that
all students should have to pass
through the metal detector be-
cause of the poor choices of
others.
He said students who wish to
do harmto others will find a way
to get a weapon into the school
regardless of whether there are
metal detectors.
Paci said he felt the detectors
were a violation of students con-
stitutional rights.
Board member Colleen Slo-
cum said that because of inci-
dents such as the Columbine
High School shooting, in which
two students killed 12 students
andone teacher andinjurednear-
lytwodozenothers inApril 1999,
schools need to be prepared to
keep students and faculty safe.
This is our new normal, she
said.
Pacis daughter, Amanda, said
the detectors are time-consum-
ing, which causes her to not have
enough time before class to fin-
ish her homework.
She said shes unable to com-
plete it at home due to a part-
time job.
Senior Gavin Carolan, of Dal-
las, created T-shirts in protest of
the detectors, but said the ad-
ministration had banned them
on Monday.
He saidthe shirts are bright or-
ange and read PA Department
of Corrections, Dallas High
School, Inmate Number 570.
Carolan said he researched
court cases andthe detectors and
banning students protests were
both unconstitutional.
Shaffer said he saw the shirts
as a disruptiontothe learningen-
vironment.
Amanda Paci also said she
didnt feel safe at the school be-
cause faculty, staff and visitors
were not scanned for weapons.
According to the school, Im
the only threat, she said.
Shaffer said there are seven or
eight staff members who can op-
erate the detectors, andscanning
every visitor would be impossi-
ble right now.
Parent Chris Oremus, of Fran-
klin Township, expressed con-
cerns about traffic going in and
out of the campus from Hilde-
brandt Road. He said a visibility
problem and reckless drivers are
reasons why he sees near-acci-
dents almost every single day.
Board member Bruce Goerin-
ger agreed and said there should
be a police officer in the area to
deter drivers from speeding.
In other business, the board
appointed high school assistant
football coaches Bob Roper and
Craig Haywood with stipends of
$3,976 each. There is also anoth-
er assistant position that is to be
announced.
The board also appointed mid-
dle school assistant-in-charge of
football Bill Perkarovsky with a
stipend of $3,295, middle school
assistant Chris Plaviak and vol-
unteer high school football as-
sistants Stephen Salavantis and
John Perkarovsky.

THORNHURST TWP. A
state consumer advocate on
Monday advised dozens of citi-
zens onthe legal process they can
use to oppose the proposed route
of a high-voltage power line
through their communities.
Dianne Dusman, senior assist-
ant consumer advocate for the
Pennsylvania Office of Consumer
Advocate, was guest speaker at a
meeting of a grass-roots group
concerned about the 57.2-mile
path that PPL Electric Utilities
has planned for a 230-kilovolt
power line through Wayne, Lack-
awanna and Luzerne counties.
The Office of Consumer Advo-
cate represents the interests of
state utilityconsumers before the
Public Utility Commission, fed-
eral regulatory agencies, and
state and federal courts.
Dusman led the residents
through the process PPL must
take to get state permission to
construct the power line. It could
include public hearings after PPL
submits an application to the
PUC, which is expected to hap-
pen in the second half of 2012.
If there is substantial public in-
terest in the project, Dusman
said her office will ask the admin-
istrative law judge assigned to
the case to hold public hearings.
She led the residents through the
hearing process.
Dusman said its difficult to
change a route after the hearing
process starts, soits best totry to
convince the utility why an alter-
nate route would be better before
the utility applies to the PUC.
PPL says the new power line
and three new substations one
in Buck Township, the others in
Lackawanna and Wayne counties
are needed to strengthen the
electric delivery system and im-
prove reliability.
The utility had open houses
last fall to informthe public of its
plan and solicit opinion, but
some residents dont think PPL
properly considered their com-
ments or adequately answered
their questions.
Frances CrokePage, spokeswo-
man for the grass-roots group,
said Thornhurst area residents
have hosted several meetings
since the fall to discuss the issue
and create both a town-level and
areawide plan suggesting alter-
nate routes that wouldbetter pro-
tect property values and reduce
environmental impacts and pos-
sible threats to residents health.

HAZLE TWP. -- A township
resident expressed concerns
Monday night about the cost of
snow removal in the township
when compared to Hazleton.
As an example, said Ri-
chard Wienches of Forest Hills
Acres, in 2007, when a state of
emergency was declared be-
cause of heavy snowfall, Hazle
Township spent 300 percent
more than Hazleton city.
Township Solicitor Charles
Pedri said that during that
weather event and subsequent
winter storms the township
did an excellent job in ensuring
that roadways were passable,
and did so in a timely way.
Chairman WilliamGallagher
said that open roads within the
township made plowing chal-
lenging.
I believe that funds directed
toward snow removal in the
township are well spent, said
Pedri.
In another matter, David Be-
ttine, Stockton, asked for help
from the township for lighting
for the Stockton Veterans Me-
morial.
Bettine said although he was
not a veteran, many members
of his family were and veterans
of the area deserved to be hon-
ored. He said monetary dona-
tions were being accepted.
He said he looked forward to
an upcoming fundraiser at
Community Park that would
raise money for maintenance
and improvement. The board
indicated that it would offer a
pavilion for the event at a re-
duced cost.
John Synoski, township en-
gineer, said work had been
completed on Club 40 Road
and he would be inspecting it
prior to payment of contrac-
tors.
Joe Braski, Front Street, said
he was concerned about a
Dumpster in Humboldt placed
approximately 30 yards from
Route 924 that had been there
for more than two months. He
said it created a hazard in re-
gard to visibility.
Braski also said the Bognet
building needed more lighting
because of a day care facility
housed there that was open un-
til late at night. Supervisor
Francis Boyarski said the board
would look into both matters.

PLAINS TWP. The state Senate ma-
jority leader saidMonday the battle for re-
drawing legislative districts is not over
and, if necessary, the April 24 primary
could be moved.
DominicPileggi, R-Chester, saidRepub-
licans are scurrying to meet the Wednes-
day deadline for revision of the redistrict-
ing plan. The revised plan would be voted
on Feb. 22, he said.
Last week a federal judge ruled that for
the 2012 election, Pennsylvanias legisla-
tive districts will revert to the configura-
tion mapped out for them in 2001. If Re-
publicans appeal the latest court ruling,
the process could extend past the sched-
uled primary date.
The fact that this is a presidential elec-
tionyeardoesnotprecludemovingthepri-
mary, Pileggi said.
But it could
eliminate, or at
least minimize,
theimpactonthe
presidential race for Pennsylvania voters.
Pileggi was in the Wyoming Valley to
meet with state Sen. Lisa Baker, R-Leh-
man Township, and former state Sen.
Charles Lemmond, an old friend of Pileg-
gis.
Its not uncommon for Sen. Pileggi to
reach out to members and to come into
their specific regions to get a sense of con-
cernsinthecommunityandourlegislative
priorities, Baker said. I always welcome
an opportunity to exchange information
directly and to discuss issues that are im-
portant to this region.
One of those issues is the Marcellus
Shale industry. Pileggi voted for the im-
pactfeeoneverywell drillingforgas, retro-
activetothefirst well drilledintheMarcel-
lus formation.
It sets the framework for the foreseea-
ble future, Pileggi said. As it takes effect,
we will look at what revisions should be
madeandproposetheappropriateamend-
ments.
Pileggi said the legislature is in the

DA
WILKES-BARREAwomancharged
with causing a crash that killed a 45-
year-old Ashley man pleaded guilty
Monday to related charges.
Caitlyn Hermanofski, 24, of Hunlock
Creek, entered the plea to charges of
homicide by motor vehicle while driv-
ing under the influence, accidents caus-
ing death and four counts of driving un-
der the influence relating to the June
2010 crash that killed Joseph Hauze.
Hermanofski, who will be sentenced
on May 3 by Luzerne County Judge Wil-
liam Amesbury, faces a minimum of
three years inprisononthe homicide by
motor vehicle charge.
Attorney Jonathan Blum, who repre-
sented Hermanofski on Monday in the
absence of her attorney, Ferris Webby,
said his client was nervous because she
has been unable to express her sympa-
thy to the Hauze family.
She would like to let themknowshe
is terribly sorry, Blumsaid, noting that
Hermanofski, as part of the charges
against her, was ordered to have no con-
tact with the victims family.
According to court papers, Herma-
nofski was driving under the influence
of alcohol and prescription medications
when she struck a Harley-Davidson mo-
torcycle operated by Hauze on state
Route 309 in Fairview Township.
Hauze underwent emergency surgery
and died June 21. The Luzerne County
Coroners Office ruled his death a hom-
icide after an autopsy showed he died
from pulmonary embolism, or a block-
age in the main artery of the lung.
Fairview Township police alleged
Hermanofski, who was pregnant at the
time, had a blood-alcohol level of .251
percent and had opiates and anti-anxie-
ty medications inher systemat the time
of the crash.
Since being charged, Hermanofski
has takenpart indrug-and-alcohol treat-
ment, and told Amesbury that she at-
tends the countys Day Reporting Cen-
ter program six days a week and coun-
seling sessions three days a week.
Amesbury commended Hermanofski
for doing an outstanding job with her
treatment, but warned that if she
doesnt continue her programs and
there is any deviation in her route, he
will revoke her bail and she will be
jailed.
Hermanofski was released from the
county prison on Dec. 22 after a bail
hearing. She is released on $50,000,
combined, unsecured bail for the hom-
icide by motor vehicle case, and a sep-
arate simple assault case.
Inthe case, Hermanofski was charged
in March 2011 after police said she
pushed an officer responding to a dis-
turbance at a Wilkes-Barre apartment.
Police said Hermanofski and a man
wereintoxicatedandcaringfor aninfant
in an apartment in disarray, police said.
Hermanofskis bail had been revoked
because of the new charge, leading her
to be jailed. She is awaiting trial on
charges relating to the March incident.
Blum said Monday a plea agreement
may be worked out in the assault case.

Caitlyn Hermanofski leaves county court Monday after pleading guilty to
homicide by motor vehicle charges.
The state Commonwealth Court
ruled on Monday that Bear Creek
Township could not legally take posses-
sion of private land where the countys
only charter school wants to build a
new school and public recreation facil-
ities.
The ruling is the outcome of an ap-
peal to the higher court by the Harris
family that owns land adjacent to the
Bear Creek Charter School in the town-
ship.
AJune rulingby former county Judge
Joseph Van Jura allowed the taking of
48 acres that belong to the family to be
used for the estimated $12 million to
$14 million construction project, fund-
ed by the school.
In October 2009, Bear Creek Town-
ship filed a declaration of taking of the
property.
Within a month, the Harris family ob-
jected, alleging the school is a private
entity and the township has limited
power of eminent domain.
Van Jura, in an eminent domain pro-
ceeding, saidconstructionof public rec-
reationareas anda newschool wouldbe
a public benefit.
The Harris family then appealed to
the CommonwealthCourt.Aprivate en-
tity cannot take landfroma private indi-
vidual, the family maintained.
And the high court agreed.
In the ruling Monday, Judge Mary
Hannah Leavitt said it was clear from
townshipsupervisors that the township
had no plans to develop recreational fa-
cilities, and that the township would
not have takenonthe project if the char-
ter schools private foundationwasnt fi-
nancing and constructing the facilities.
A second class township may only
condemn land for those public purpos-
es specified by the Legislature, the
judge wrote.
Those purposes include deepening
and widening a watercourse, building
an airport, township buildings, landfill
for garbage or other refuse, to repair
roads, to eliminate dangerous curves in
a townshiproad, tobuildor acquire san-
itarysewers or toacquire existingwater
system and storm water management
facilities.
The declaration itself states that the
Charter school land case ruling overturned
Commonwealth Court says Bear
Creek Twp. cant take land to be
used for charter school project.

WILKES-BARREWithValen-
tines Day in mind, a local author
offeredhis thoughts oncultivating
andpreservinga fulfillingrelation-
ship.
David Weinberger, Ph.D., au-
thor of Think Smart, signed co-
piesof hisbookat Barnes&Noble
on South Main Street on Monday
as he answered questions and of-
fered advice advice based on 35-
year career of working with cou-
ples and marriages and trying to
keep families together.
Thebookdoesnt tell youwhat
tothink, hesaid. It tells youhow
to think. It encourages you to ex-
amine what drives your decisions
in people and relationships.
Weinberger, 66, is a native of
Scranton. He said he has a great
marriage and he credits his wife,
Nancy, a nurse, as the reason for
hisphysical healthandoverall hap-
piness.
Weinberger has a few keys to a
successful relationships:
Spend time with someone to
truly get to knowthem.
Have mutual trust and re-
spect honesty is a given.
Make each other feel valued
andworkat making
each other feel un-
derstood.
Talk to each
other, problem-
solve and have fun.
Communicate
thekeytocommu-
nicationis listening.
Its not rocket
science, he said.
Live in the mo-
ment and appre-
ciate it.
Weinberger has
Davidisms in his
book. He shared a
few:
If you live in the present
through past history, you trade off
the future.
There is a difference between
being in a relationship and build-
ing one.
Intrapersonal issues always
supersede interpersonal ones.
Weinberger said he wrote
Think Smart to thank all the
people who had a part to play in
contributingtohis growthandun-
derstanding of hu-
man behavior and
to give back what
he took from those
encounters, in the
hope that it could
help to make a sig-
nificant difference
in the lives of oth-
ers.
The book was
mainlywrittenwith
intimate or roman-
tic relationships in
mind, butalsodeals
with relationships
with family mem-
bers, co-workers,
casual acquaintances or close
friendships.
What can people expect from
Think Smart?

bergersaid. Whatmakesusdiffer-

WYOMING A man charged
Friday with stealing more than
$5,000 froman 86-year-old wom-
an blamed his love for an ex-girl-
friend, according to charges fil-
ed.
Police allege Zachary Ryan
Yanchick, 21, of Riverview Ma-
nor, Pittston, cashed 10 checks
stolen from an elderly woman in
Harding at the M&T Bank
branch in the Midway Shopping
Center. Yanchick was arrested
Friday when he tried to cash an
11th check he forged, police said.
Yanchick told police his ex-
girlfriend, who has not been
charged, stole the checks from
her grandmother and asked him
to cash the checks, the criminal
complaint says. Yanchick agreed
to cash the stolen checks due to
still being in love with her.
He was arraigned Saturday by
District Judge James Tupper in
Kingston Township on 20 counts
of theft, 10 counts each of receiv-
ing stolen property and forgery,
and one count each of criminal
conspiracy to commit theft and
criminal attempt to commit
theft. He was jailed at the Lu-
zerne County Correctional Facil-
ity for lack of $7,000 bail.
According to the complaint:
A bank employee contacted
police Friday when Yanchick
tried to cash a $460 check.
Bank officials became suspi-
cious because the check number
was close to10 other checks Yan-
chick cashed and unsuccessful
attempts to contact the account
holder.
When the elderly woman was
reached, she realized her check
book was missing, the complaint
says.
Yanchick told police his ex-
girlfriend stole the checks dur-
ing a burglary at her grandmoth-
ers house. His former girlfriend
asked him to cash the checks be-
cause she did not have a bank ac-
count.
Court records say Yanchick is
serving a probation sentence im-
posed in August 2011 on a disor-
derly conduct conviction.
An arrest warrant was issued
for Yanchick on Oct. 24 when he
failed to appear for a court pro-
ceeding on charges of resisting
arrest, escape and providing a
false identification to police, ac-
cording to court records.
A preliminary hearing is
scheduled on Feb. 15 before Dis-
trict Judge Joseph Carmody,
West Pittston.

Pete Mailloux continues to
collect signatures on his nomi-
nating petitions to appear on the
April 24 primary ballot as a can-
didate for the121st District of the
state House of Representatives.
On Wednesday, hell file the pa-
pers and then wait, at least a
week, to see if he actually lives in
the district he hopes to repre-
sent.
Confused? Welcome to the re-
districting mess that has thrown
the election season into disarray.
A Legislative Reapportion-
ment Commission plan to remap
Pennsylvanias 203 House and 50
Senate districts was ruledinvalid
by the state Supreme Court, and
a federal judge said the existing
borders should be kept for this
years elections. Now the five-
member commission has only a
few days to come up with new
maps that reflect the distribution
of population in the 2010 census.
That bipartisan panel -- House
Majority Leader Mike Turzai,
Senate Majority Leader Dominic
Pileggi, House Minority Leader
Frank Dermody, Senate Minori-
ty Leader Jay Costa and Judge
Stephen McEwen Jr. has not
set a public meeting or hearing
to be held before Thursdays
deadline for candidates to file
nominating petitions.
So dozens of candidates across
the state, including Mailloux, are
collecting petitions to run in dis-
tricts they may not be able to rep-
resent.
Charles E. OConnor, execu-
tive director of the commission,
saidthe groupis followingthe or-
der of the state Supreme Court,
which is to draw maps that meet
constitutional mandates. In the
meantime, he said, the legisla-
tive lines used since 2001 are in
effect.
Erik Arneson, a spokesman for
Pileggi, said
commission
Chairman
McEwen had
told commis-
sioners to dis-
tribute pro-
posed new
maps by
Wednesday.
Arneson said
a meeting is
planned for
Feb. 22, with
details on the
time and specif-
ic location to be
announced. But thats a week af-
ter the petition-filing deadline
whichhas already beenextended
two days by the state Supreme
Court because of the mapping is-
sue.
The redistricting mess does
not affect voting districts for fed-
eral office, as those new maps
were approved by the Legisla-
ture and did not sustain a legal
challenge.
Its also possible that Republi-
cans, unhappy with the rulings
and not wanting to hold an elec-
tion with 2001 lines in effect, are
readying a legal appeal.
Terry Casey, the Luzerne
County Republican Party chair-
man, saidhe has heardfromstate
party officials that could happen.
Arneson didnt deny that pos-
sibility.
At this time, legal and legisla-
tive options remain under re-
view, he said. The litigants in
the federal appeal have 30 days
from the Feb. 8 ruling to file ap-
peals.
Also on the table, Casey said,
is holding two primary elections:
one on April 24 for federal and
statewide offices including presi-
dent, Congress, delegates and
row offices; and one in the sum-
mer for state House and Senate
seats.
Arneson shot down that idea,
which he said would cost tax-
payers $20 million.
Im not aware of anyone sup-
porting a split primary, Arneson
said.

WILKES-BARRE A city
man pleaded guilty Monday to
charges relating to three sep-
arate incidents, including a
case in which police say he
stole metal from a construction
site to pay for food because he
had not eaten in a number of
days.
David Meyers, 46, of Wash-
ington Avenue, entered the
plea to two counts of receiving
stolen property and one count
each of fleeing/eluding police,
accidents involving damage
and criminal trespassing.
County Judge David Lupas
said Meyers will be sentenced
on April 9.
According to court papers,
on Aug. 12, 2010, police said
Meyers entered the Dolphin
Car Wash on Route 315 with-
out permission.
In October 2010, police said,
Meyers took aluminum from
Solomon Industries. In Janu-
ary, police said he stole metal
from a construction site. When
police tried to stop a vehicle he
was driving, he proceeded
through a stop sign and a brief
foot pursuit began, police said.
COURT BRIEF
WILKES-BARRE City
Council members are offered
generous benefits, including
health insurance. But after
Chairman Mike Merritt switch-
es his coverage from the city to
his employer, none of the five of-
ficials will be taking the city
plan.
Merritt, who represents Dis-
trict E, said Monday he is in the
process of making the change,
which he expects will save city
taxpayers approximately
$10,000per year.I reallywas un-
aware of how much the health
coverage cost the city, Merritt
said. When I read about it in
(The Times Leader) I decided
to look into the plan here at my
workplace.
Merritt, 50, said he will accept
the $2,400buyout the city offers to
those whodont take the coverage,
which costs the city $12,758. Mer-
ritt said he is comparing the citys
coverage with that of InterMetro.
He said he has a son in college and
he wants to be sure he has the best
possible plan.
Ill be taking the waiver, Mer-
ritt said. It should happen within
the next couple of weeks.
City Council members are paid
$13,199 per year, making themthe
highest-paid elected council mem-
bers in the region. They also have
the most generous benefits.
Bill Barrett, Maureen Lavelle,
George Brown and Tony George
each get the salary, while Merritt
receives $14,699 as chairman.
Council, the mayor and con-
troller also are offered benefits:
health insurance or a medical
buyout; life insurance valued at
$10,000 per member; dental
coverage (single is $26.85 per
month, family is $69.08 per
month); and vision coverage
(single $2.98/month, family
$8.38/month).
Lavelle and Brown take the
$200 per month medical
buyout, while George and Bar-
rett dont accept any healthcov-
erage.
The compensation package
offered council has come under
fire in recent months at council
meetings.

GOP backs payroll tax cut
I
n an abrupt about-face, House GOP
leaders announced Monday that they
are willing to extend the two percent-
age-point cut in the payroll tax through
the end of the year and add the approx-
imately $100 billion cost to the nations
$15 trillion-plus debt.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-
Ohio, Majority Leader Eric Cantor,
R-Va., and GOP Whip Kevin McCarthy
of California said the House could vote
on the payroll tax measure this week,
but that the fate of unemployment
benefits for millions of the long-term
jobless and efforts to forestall sched-
uled cuts in fees to doctors who treat
Medicare patients would remain in the
hands of a House-Senate negotiating
panel thats looking for ways to pay for
them.
WASHINGTON
Bills on birth control ripped
The White House said Monday legis-
lation in the Senate that would give
employers broad leeway to restrict
coverage for contraception is danger-
ous and wrong.
Press secretary Jay Carney took aim
at legislation by Sen. Marco Rubio,
R-Fla. a possible GOP vice presi-
dential candidate and Sen. Joe Man-
chin, D-W.Va., that would allow any
employer to deny birth control cov-
erage if it runs counter to their reli-
gious or moral beliefs.
Another bill, by Sen. Roy Blunt,
R-Mo., would go even further by allow-
ing health plans to deny coverage for
any service that violates their beliefs.
HARRISBURG
Internet sales to be taxed
The administration of Gov. Tom
Corbett is expecting about $50 million
from its new efforts to collect taxes on
items sold over the Internet.
The state Department of Revenue
provided the estimate Monday.
Corbett is pressuring Internet-based
sellers to collect the sales tax at the
time of purchase, as Pennsylvania-
based companies have to do.
In addition, the states 2011 personal
income-tax return for the first time
provides a line asking taxpayers to
declare how much they owe in use
tax on purchases they made online
without paying the state sales tax.
Both are 6 percent. By law, sellers
are supposed to collect the sales tax at
the time of purchase. If they dont,
buyers are expected to pay the state
the same amount in use tax.
BUCHAREST, ROMANIA
Snow, cold hammer Balkans
Military planes and police helicop-
ters flew in tons of emergency food to
snowbound villages and ships in the
Balkans on Monday, after blizzards so
fierce that some people had to cut
tunnels through 15 feet of snow to get
out of their homes.
Since the end of January, Eastern
Europe has been pummeled by a re-
cord-breaking cold snap and the heavi-
est snowfall in recent memory. Hun-
dreds of people, many homeless, have
died in the bitter cold and tens of thou-
sands have been trapped by blocked
roads inside homes with little heat.
Authorities declared a state of emer-
gency Monday in eastern Romania,
where 6,000 people have been cut off
for days. About a dozen major roads
were closed. The defense ministry sent
8,000 soldiers to clear roads across
Romania and help those trapped by the
overwhelming snow.

NEW DELHI Israel
blamed Iran on Monday for
bomb attacks on its diplomats
cars in India and Georgia,
heightening concerns that the
Jewish state was moving clos-
er to striking its archenemy.
Iran denied responsibility
for the attacks that appearedto
mirror the recent killings of
Iranian nuclear scientists that
Tehran blamed on Israel.
The blast in New Delhi set a
car ablaze and injured four
people, including an Israeli
Embassy driver and a diplo-
mats wife; the device in Geor-
gia was discovered and safely
defused.
Iran is behind these attacks
and it is the largest terror ex-
porter in the world, Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Ne-
tanyahu told lawmakers from
his Likud Party.
The violence added further
tension to one of the globes
most contentious standoffs.
Iran has been accused of devel-
oping a nuclear weapons pro-
gramthat Israel says threatens
the existence of the Jewish
state. Tehran says its nuclear
program is for peaceful pur-
poses only.
Comments by Israeli offi-
cials in recent weeks have
raised fears Israel might be
preparing to strike Iranian nu-
clear facilities. While Israel
says it hopes that international
sanctions can curb Irans nu-
clear program, leaders point-
edly note that all options are
on the table and have warned
that as Iran moves closer to
weapons capability, time is
running out for action. Fearing
an Israeli attack could set off a
conflict across the region and
send oil prices skyrocketing,
U.S. and other Western coun-
tries have been pressing Israel
to give sanctions more time.
Israeli military analyst Reu-
ven Pedatzur said Mondays
action was unlikely to have any
bearing on whether Israel at-
tacks Iran, calling it an isolat-
ed incident with rather low
impact.
The attackers in India and
Georgia appeared to have used
sticky bombs attached to
cars by magnets, similar to
weapons used against Irans
nuclear officials. Netanyahu
said Israel had thwarted at-
tacks in recent months in Azer-
baijan and Thailand and un-
specified other countries.
In all those cases, the ele-
ments behind these attacks
were Iran and its protege, Hez-
bollah, Netanyahu said, refer-
ring to Irans Lebanese proxy.
He vowed to act with a strong
hand against international ter-
ror.
Israeli media reported that
the government blamed Iran
basedonprior intelligence and
that security officials feared
this could be the start of a

WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama for the first time
has opened a sizable lead over
his most likely Republican op-
ponents, thanks to growing sup-
port among independent vot-
ers, according to a new Pew Re-
search Center poll.
The poll, re-
leased Mon-
day, showed
Rick Santorum
in a virtual tie
with Mitt Rom-
ney in the Re-
publican presi-
dential race.
Santorum, the
former Penn-
sylvania sen-
ator, has
moved up as a
result of his
backing from
tea party Re-
publicans and
white evangeli-
cals. He led Romney, the former
Massachusetts governor, 30
percent to 28 percent among
Republican and Republican-
leaning registered voters in the
survey, which was conducted
Feb. 8-12. In a Pewsurvey only a
month ago, Romney led Santo-
rum 31 percent to 14 percent.
But both Republicans trailed
Obama by sizable margins. Oba-
ma led Santorum by 10 points
among registered voters nation-
wide (53 percent to 43 percent)
and led Romney by 8 points (52
percent to 44 percent). Obamas
lead over Newt Gingrich, who
has faded in the GOP race, was
18 points (57 percent to 39 per-
cent). In previous polls in No-
vember and January, Romney
and Obama were roughly tied.
Obama has moved up because
of support from independent
voters, 51 percent of whom now
back him against Romney, a
gain of 11 points since last
month.
The latest poll by the Pew Re-
search Center for the People &
the Press was conducted among
1,172 registered voters nation-
wide. It found that Santorum
has become the clear favorite of
tea party supporters and white
evangelical Republicans. He
wins support from 42 percent of
tea party Republican voters
compared just 23 percent who
back Romney. Santorums mar-
gin among white evangelical
Republican voters was almost
the same, 41 percent to 23 per-
cent.

Santorum moves past
Romney, but both Republicans
are trailing Obama.

BEVERLYHILLS, Calif. Acoroners
official says some prescription medicines
were found in the hotel room where
Whitney Houston died but not in large
quantities.
Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter
said Monday that medications were
found but declined to offer any specifics
because police have requestedthat node-
tails about the investigation be released.
Winter says there werent a lot of pre-
scription bottles.
Police have said there were no indica-
tions of foul play.
Police declined to say earlier Monday
whether any medications were recovered
after Houstons deathonSaturday. Bever-
ly Hills police say the singer was found
under water in a bath tub by a member of
her staff around 3:30 p.m., just hours be-
fore she was scheduled to attend a pre-
Grammy Awards gala.
Investigators routinely look at pre-
scription medications when investigat-
ing unattended deaths. Meanwhile, the
singers family prepared to send her body
to her native New Jersey for a funeral.
She was pulled from the tub by mem-
bers of her staff, and hotel security was
promptly notified, Beverly Hills police
Lt. Mark Rosen said.
Further details of Houstons death are
not being released to preserve the integ-
rity of the investigation, he said.
As of right now, its not a criminal in-
vestigation, Rosen told a news confer-
ence. We have concluded our portion of
the investigation at the hotel.
Rosen said it was a coroners case and
police were awaiting the determination
of the cause of death. The coroners office
says toxicology testing is continuing.
There were no indications of foul play
and no obvious signs of trauma on Hous-
tons body, but officials were not ruling
out any causes of death until they have
toxicology results, which will likely take
weeks to obtain.
Houston struggled for years with ad-
diction to cocaine, marijuana and pills,
which took a toll on her voice.
However, Bishop T.D. Jakes, a Texas
minister and producer on Houstons final
film project, a re-make of the 1970s re-
lease Sparkle, said he saw no signs she
was having any substance issues.

BEIRUT Syrian rebels fended off a
push Monday by government tanks into a
central town held by forces fighting Presi-
dent Bashar Assads regimeinan11-month
conflict that looks increasingly like a civil
war.
The military pressed its offensive on
Rastanadayafter theregimerejectedArab
League calls for the U.N. to create a peace-
keepingforce inSyria andfor anendtothe
violent crackdown on dissent. Damascus
called the League initiative a flagrant in-
terference in (Syrias) internal affairs and
an infringement upon national sovereign-
ty.
With diplomatic efforts bogged down,
theconflict istakingonthedimensionsof a
civil war, with army defectors clashing al-
most daily with soldiers. The rebels have
taken control of small swathes of territory
in central Homs province, where Rastan is
located, and the northwestern province of
Idlib, which borders Turkey.
The Britain-based activist group Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights said at
least threegovernment soldierswerekilled
in the attempt to stormRastan, which has
been held by the rebels since late January.
Rastan, home to about 50,000 people,
was one of the first areas in Syria where
people took up arms to fight the regime.
Theuprisingbeganlast Marchasmostly
peaceful protests against Assads author-
itarian rule, but has become more militar-
izedinthe face of the brutal military crack-
down.
The U.N. human rights chief Navi Pillay
toldtheGeneral AssemblyonMondaythat
more than 5,400 people were killed last
year alone, andthe number of deadandin-
jured continues to rise daily.
Assads bloody crackdown has left Syria
almostcompletelyisolatedinternationally,
except for one key ally Russia. China

Arab countries earlier this month when

people who have done fantasti-
cally well over the last few dec-
ades but that alsobenefit themid-
dle class, those fighting to get in-
to the middle class and the econ-
omy as a whole, Obama said.
He used an appearance before
students at Northern Virginia
Community College to unveil the
budget and highlight a $8 billion
proposal that aims at boosting
the ability of the nations commu-
nity colleges to train students for
the jobs of the future. He told the
students his budget was a reflec-
tion of shared responsibility.
While administration officials
defendedthe overall planas a bal-
anced approach, Republicans at-
tacked it as failing to enough to
restrainthe deficit, whichObama
had promised in 2009 to cut in
half by the end of his first term.
This isnt really a budget at
all. Its a campaign document,
said Senate Republican Leader
Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.
The president is shirking his re-
sponsibility toleadandusingthis
budget to divide.
Republican Rep. Paul Ryan,
chairman of the House Budget
Committee, said that Obama had
ducked the responsibility to
tackle this countrys real fiscal
problems.
Ryan is preparing an alterna-
tive to Obamas budget that will
be similar to a measure that the
House approved last year but
failed in the Senate, where many
lawmakers objected to a major
overhaul to Medicare.
We do not intend on backing
off on anything, Ryan said in an
interview. We intend on giving
the country an alternative and a
solution to our biggest prob-
lems.
Republicans challenged the
math underlying Obamas bud-
get, saying it double-counteddef-
icit reductions already approved
inanAugust budget deal andalso
claimed $848 billion in savings
from ending the wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan even though this
money would not have been
spent.
Republican presidential candi-
date Mitt Romney attacked Oba-
mas spending plan for failing to
take any meaningful steps to-
ward solving our entitlement cri-
sis.
This years budget debate is ex-
pected to dominate the presiden-
tial contest and congressional
elections with the issue not final-
ly resolved probably until a lame-
duck session of Congress after
the November election, when
lawmakers will have to decide
what to do with expiring Bush-
era tax cuts and looming across-
the-board spending cuts.
Obamas new spending plan
projects a deficit for the current
budget year of $1.33 trillion,
marking the fourth straight year
that the deficit would top $1 tril-
lion.
The spending plan projects the
deficit would decrease to $901
billion in the 2013 budget year,
whichbegins Oct. 1. That reflects
$3.8 trillion in spending next
year, an increase of 0.2 percent
over this years expected outlays,
anda17.5 percent increase inrev-
enues.
The deficits are projected to
gradually godownto$575 billion
in 2018, which would still be
higher in dollar terms than any
deficits run up before Obama
took office. It would be below 3
percent of the total economy,
however.

Rizzo filed a civil suit in county
court seeking $675,000.
TheRizzossayasewer pipe, in-
stalled by the borough in 1991,

The borough obtained an ease-
ment toinstall the pipe onthe 23-
acre property.
Wereveryhappywiththeout-
come, council President Eileen
Cipriani said.
In other business:
Councilman Len Tarreto

andnotedthat theincreaseincol-
lected recyclables means lower
trashcosts. Eachquarter, the bor-
ough is reimbursed for its recy-
cled newspapers from Solomons
Container Service, said Tarreto,
pointing out the reimbursement
for last quarter was $426.

HUGHESTOWN -- Borough
Council announced Monday that
the Hughestown Hose Company
has received its new fire truck.
The highly anticipated new
American LaFrance rescue pum-
per gives the 40-member volun-
teer fire department two working
trucks to utilize for the residents
of borough and the neighboring
communities that it services.
The hose company has invited
interested members of the public
to come and view the new equip-
ment. Borough officials advised
that any who do intend to visit
the stationcall the hose company
at 654-4188 ahead of time.
The council has consistently
pointed to the boroughs volun-
teer fire department as a point of
pride. In addition to consistently
upgrading its equipment, person-
nel and capabilities, it regularly
hosts certified training sessions
for firefighters throughout the re-
gion.
In other business, Council-
woman Marie Griglock said she
would work to resolve a drainage
problem that has been affecting
municipal and residential sewers
along Rock Street.
Griglock has said the root of
the problem lies with improper
drainage practices at the Pittston
Area Primary School Center on
RockStreet. She has takenthis is-
sue upwiththe school district be-
fore and intends to do so again.
At a school board meeting in
January, district officials ac-
knowledged her complaints but
stated they have a different opin-
ion of what is causing the prob-
lem. Griglock was assured that
the matter will be looked into.
Griglock pledged to attend
next Tuesdays school board
meetingtoforce the school board
to revisit the issue.

NUANGOLA The $25,000
the Nuangola Sewer Authority
needs to proceed with its pro-
posed sanitary system has been
obtained after action taken Mon-
day night at meetings of borough
council and the authority.
Councilman Ted Vancosky re-
turned from a session of the
Mountain Top Area Joint Sewer
Authority with a check for the
amount. The money was loaned
to the Nuangola authority to ob-
tain permits that are required by
state and county agencies in ad-
vance of advertising and bidding
the project.
The MountainTopJoint Sewer
Authority grantedthe loanafter a
bare majority of council, four
members, approved Ordinance 2
of 2012 that unconditionally
guarantees a promissory note of
$25,000.
Because only two council
members, Vancosky and Ron
Kaiser, were present for the spe-
cial Nuangola meeting, twoother
votes, those of Regina Plodwick,
chairwoman, and Tony DeLuca,
had to be obtained via a confer-
ence call. Because of what was
statedas a combinationof illness-
es and pressing family issues,
other members of council, in-
cludingJoeTucker, JohnKochan,
and Elaine Donahue, did not par-
ticipate in the vote.
David Pekar, chairman of the
authority, said the money will be
deposited into a money market
and a business account at Citi-
zens Bank.
The authority voted unani-
mously to remit checks so that
Quad 3 Engineers of Wilkes-
Barre can secure permits from
Luzerne Conservation District
($15,800), LuzerneCountyClean
Water Fund ($500), Pennsylva-
nia Clean Water Fund ($2,360)
and Pennsylvania Water Quality
Management Agency ($500).
Rick Kresge of Quad 3 also dis-
cussed with authority members
the need to obtain permits from
Luzerne County Road & Bridge
Department and to file a zoning
permit application with Dor-
rance Township. Amajor portion
of the planned pipeline will paral-
lel the Dorrance side of Blyth-
burn Road.
The authority has a tentative
date of March 15 to advertise for
construction bids.
Final approval of Nuangolas re-
vised Act 537 plan is still needed
fromthe state Department of En-
vironmental Protection.
Nuangola gets loan to move forward on sewers
Borough will be able to get
permits in advance of

condemned land would be used
for recreation and for the Charter
Schools expansion, the judge
wrote.
Other evidence, the judges rul-
ing says, shows the townships re-
al purpose for condemnation was
for the school, not for recre-
ation.
The (charter school founda-
tion), not the township, initiated
the project and did the planning,
which included the dedication of
a portion of the land for recre-
ational areas, the ruling says.
The township supervisors testi-
mony also showed that they had

11 grandchildren, ages 2 to 14.
Those three children are in-
volved in a custody case, and
Cleland deferred decisions
about any visits from them to
the judge handling that matter.
A spokesman for the Attorney
Generals Office said the judges
orders were being reviewed.
Cleland said jury selection
will be a challenge, given the
pretrial publicity and the special
role that Penn State plays in the
Centre County community.
If, after a reasonable attempt
it is apparent that a jury cannot
be selected within a reasonable
time, then I will reconsider this
ruling, Cleland wrote.
Cleland encouraged state
prosecutors to work with the
judge who supervised a grand ju-
ry that investigated Sandusky to
figure out how to release grand
jury transcripts to Sanduskys
lawyers on a schedule which
balances the appropriate inter-
ests of maintaining the secrecy
of the grand jury while still as-
suring the trial can proceed
without unnecessary disrup-
tion.
Cleland also ordered prosecu-
tors to tell defense lawyers
where and when the purported
crimes occurred and howold the
children were at the time. He ad-
dressed disputes between the
sides over material that should
be turned over to the defense by
directing prosecutors to put
their objections in writing by
Feb. 20. Sanduskys lawyers will
be allowed to reply by Feb. 27.
Sandusky lost a request to
force prosecutors to disclose the
names, addresses and birth
dates of witnesses.
While we are happy with the
outcome of Fridays hearings, we
realize, nevertheless, a number
of difficult legal battles lie ahead
of us, his lawyer, Joe Amendola,
said in a statement.
Cleland has tentatively sched-
uled trial to start in mid-May.
The 68-year-old Sandusky was
also granted the right to see
adult visitors. Under the courts
latest order, he will list up to 12
adults he would like to be able to
see, subject to approval by the
county officials overseeing his
home confinement. His visits
will be limited to a total of two
hours, three times a week.
Also Monday, Penn State ad-
ministrator TimCurley filed mo-
tions in Dauphin County Court
that argued the death of football
coach Joe Paterno last month
left prosecutors without a re-
quired second witness to sup-
port the perjury charge. He
wants the charges thrown out.
He said allegations he didnt
report suspected abuse in 2002
were filed under a revision of the
law that was passed five years
later and that the statute of limi-
tations has expired. The Attor-
ney Generals Office said it, too,
was under review.
The 57-year-old Curley is on
leave as athletic director as he
awaits trial. Former Penn State
Vice President Gary Schultz,
who faces the same charges as
Curley, has not filed similar mo-
tions. Both have denied the alle-
gations.
SANDUSKY
ley said.
Speed may be a factor in the
crash, the chief said. The
speed limit in the area is 40
mph.
Lynch was taken to Geisin-
ger Wyoming Valley Medical
Center in Plains Township,
where he was pronounced
dead at 8:43 a.m., the coroners
office said.
Dallas Superintendent
Frank Galicki said students
were informed of the tragedy
during an assembly Monday
afternoon. Grief counselors
will be available for students
for the remainder of the week,
he said.
He was a very wonderful
young man, Galicki said. Its
an unfortunate situation.
Were all parents, grandpar-
ents. Our hearts and prayers
go out to his family.
Lynch was a member of the
Boy Scouts Two District Coun-
cil in Northeastern Pennsylva-
nia, and earned his Eagle
badge in December.
Galicki said Lynch enlisted
in the U.S. Army and was
scheduled to report to Fort
Benning, Ga., on Aug. 8.
He was going to be a caval-
ry scout, thats all he wanted to
be, Galicki said.

Vandalism and destruction have
no place in a democracy and will
not be tolerated.

Greeces prime minister called for calm earlier this
week amid violent public protests. Lawmakers
approved new austerity measures as rioters torched buildings and
looted shops in Athens.
Lost drilling revenue,
education cuts hurt Pa.
O
nce again, Gov. Tom Corbetts pri-
orities are out of order.
While refusing to tax his corporate
sacred cows in the gas drilling industry,
Corbett promises to make Pennsylvania
the Mississippi of the North by slashing
funding for higher education. By slashing
PHEAA grants, Corbett also ensures that
many more of our young people wont be
able to afford to go to college this fall. Is a
miserable, minimum-wage job at a fast-
food restaurant the best future we can offer
them?
Pennsylvania is the only state that does
not impose a severance tax on natural gas.
While greedy out-of-state corporations
suck a precious resource out of our state,
taking the profits to Texas, Oklahoma and
elsewhere, Pennsylvania loses millions of
dollars of revenue annually by refusing to
tax these companies.
That said, our state colleges and uni-
versities can cut a lot of waste in their
budgets, starting with the bloated adminis-
trative salaries. A university president
sucks down a six- or seven-figure salary.
What, exactly, does a university president
do, other than sit in a plush office and look
important? How is he or she contributing
to the quality of the education that our
young people receive?
Equally obscene are the salaries paid to
athletic coaches. Is the purpose of a uni-
versity to educate or to provide a farm
system for the NFL? Put some of that
money into research grants to attract top
scholars and use the rest to reduce tui-
tions, so that a college education once
again becomes affordable for working-class
people.
Our colleges and universities could learn
a lesson from the honeybee. When times
are tough, the bees throw the drones out of
their hives.

Preserve part of Sterling
for vendors, food court
S
aving the first two floors of the Hotel
Sterling in downtown Wilkes-Barre
would be a great idea! It can be used to
rent spaces to vendors. A food court could
tie the idea together.
This could tie in with the riverside
events. It would be a place where people
could go and even just relax and have a
cup of coffee. The rent money could pay
for any maintenance on the building.
This could be a win-win solution.
Think of how successful the Reading
Market in Philadelphia is. Providing free
parking, such as Boscovs in Scranton
does, would be a great addition to the
facility.

K
W HATS THAT scary holi-
day where youre encouraged
to dress up, hope for a trick
or a treat, and expect candy?
Where chatting up a virtual
stranger after dark seems
normal? When whispering
voices warn to be afraid, to be very afraid,
especially if youre on your own?
Why, its Valentines Day!
Only the truly brave can face Valentines
Day without either compulsory cynicism or a
craven sense of neediness.
On Halloween, after all, youre supposed to
assume a mask and pretend to be somebody
else. On Valentines Day, youre supposed to
strip your emotional soul naked and run
shrieking toward the oceanic vastness of your
partners essence. This can be tricky if youre
only on a second date.
Thats why a lot of men do on Feb. 14 what
others do on Oct. 31 turn off the lights and
pretend to be not home.
For men, Valentines Day is filled with hor-
ror. Is that really a surprise? They cant win.
For men, all they know is that theyre going to
spend time searching for a way to spend mon-
ey on who knows what for some woman who
will, when she receives it, force that little tight
smile, like a cat taking a poop, to indicate her
insincere gratitude.
Its a holiday celebration of inadequacy. He
will fail. He always has failed. Just like Jack
Nicholson in The Shining who always has
been at that hotel, this guy always has been in
the lingerie section of the department store
muttering: I think she likes mauve. But I
dont know what mauve is.
And hes one of the lucky ones. A lucky
person on Valentines Day has a significant
other, no matter how miserable that relation-
ship might be. Thats romance in America.
Two miserable people thanking God they
have each other for one night in February.
The unlucky ones are opening sparkly
elementary school-type cards from their par-
ents during a call about their younger siblings
adorable newest child, all while trying not to
detect a note of disappointment in their moth-
ers voice when she asks about their cat.
Frankly, it could be worse.
For women, in a relationship or not, Valen-
tines Day is filled with ghosts. Usually these
ghosts are properly deceased. They exist only
in the womans imagination. Theres a nostal-
gic aspect to the whole thing, which drives
womens current partners, should they have
any, nuts.
For example, I remember every Valentines
Day card ever sent to me. The one from the
cute boy in third grade whose mother signed
his name; cute but not so bright, that kid. The
one from my high school boyfriend who drew
73 hearts on the envelope, one for each day of
our relationship; affectionate but overdid
things. One from the guy I crushed on in
college that had a drunk dog, a spilled beer
and dead plant on the cover. That sure said,
love in every language, right? I should have
regarded it as a warning sign rather than an
invitation, but what did I know?
These days, my husband of 20 years cant
remember that he sent me the same card
three Valentines in a row. Im starting to
suspect he bought a fistful of them just so he
wouldnt have to go into Hallmark again.
A heart remains our most recognizable
symbol of love. The cautious, the beaten
down the man, mostly pick that cardio-
vascularly intimidating card off the rack and
see, first and foremost, the thing that he sus-
pects will one day attack and kill him. He
buys it anyhow. Now thats gotta be love. Or
maybe a little fear. With their red corn syrup
and heart-shaped cards, Halloween and Valen-
tines Day cant help but bleed into one anoth-
er.
Is it a surprise, then, that houses of horror
are pretty much like tunnels of love on Valen-
tines Day? That theyre hyped up, tricked out,
clichd, and yet you still go in expecting to
have a good time?
Next to Valentines Day, Halloween is a
celebration for sissies. Give me the Wicked
Witch of the West (or Freddy Krueger, for that
matter) over Cupid, that grotesque son of
Venus who drags a bow and arrow around as
if its the AK-47 of romance. Cupid is just a
sniper of love. Beware.

group that has an
award for outstand-
ing civic achieve-
ment should consider Amanda
E. Holt for a prize. She drew a
legislative reapportionment
map that won a rare accolade
from the state Supreme Court,
which rejected the version pro-
duced by a panel heavy with
politicians.
It would be one thing if Holt
were a political scientist well
versed in the intricacies of de-
signing legislative districts.
But she is a 29-year-old piano
teacher and self-employed
graphic artist who lives in Le-
high County.
In rejecting the plan offered
by the five-member state Leg-
islative Reapportionment
Commission, thereby ruling in
favor of Holt and other plain-
tiffs, the Pennsylvania Su-
preme Court clearly was
moved by what she had done.
Referring to the Holt plan,
Chief Justice Ronald Castille
wrote in his opinion: This
powerful evidence, challeng-
ing the Final Plan as a whole,
suffices to show that the Final
Planis contrarytolaw. Simply
put, too many municipalities
and counties were divided un-
necessarily.
There are two morals to this
story. The first concerns how
much one civic-minded citizen
can single-handedly achieve
withdedicationandhardwork.
The second has to do with the
flawed nature of the systemfor
redistricting itself. Because of
the botched plan, the Pennsyl-
vania primary might have to be
held later than April 24.
Redistricting should not be
about what politicians want,
but what best serves the peo-
ple of Pennsylvania for whom
they work. The next time
Pennsylvania calls a constitu-
tional convention, it should in-
sist the future redistricting be
performed by a truly neutral
panel. Holt has shown what
can be done.

TOPPING THE vio-
lence at GARMemorial
Junior-Senior High
School in Wilkes-Barre
wont be accomplished until
adults fromschool administra-
tors to parents andothers stop
shirking their responsibilities.
A machete attack outside the
school last week maimed a 14-
year-old student, whose hand
was nearly chopped off. Subse-
quent news reports, as well as
readers comments posted on
The Times Leaders website,
suggest that fights inside and
outside the school flare up far
too frequently and often involve
swarms of students rather than
only two combatants.
This festering problem re-
flects a school district failure;
and it is the districts duty to
fashion a communitywide re-
sponse for the safety of its stu-
dents, its faculty and city resi-
dents who live near the South
Grant Street school.
The first sentence of the dis-
tricts Secondary Schools
Handbook reads, It is the goal
of the Wilkes-Barre Area School
District to provide a safe, pro-
ductive learning environment
for each of our students. Later,
the handbook also states:
Fighting will not be tolerated
and Assaults on staff members
or on fellowstudents will not be
tolerated.
If so, why hasnt district Su-
perintendent Jeffrey T. Namey,
GARHighSchool Principal Col-
leen Robatin or a concerned
group of teachers publicly
brought escalating student-on-
student conflicts to the atten-
tion of the school board? Or par-
ents? For that matter, why
havent neighbors lodgedformal
complaints after witnessing af-
ter-school, student brawls?
If, as is widely suspected, ra-
cial tensions are fueling these
dangerous incidents, the solu-
tiondoesnt lieindishingout de-
tention or suspension. It in-
volves consulting with experts
in the field and, most likely, con-
ducting a prolonged anti-vio-
lencecampaignthat involvesad-
ministrators, teachers and the
community.
District officials cannot afford
to foot-drag on this safety con-
cern as they have been prone
to do with issues such as imple-
mentation of a written, teacher-
hiring policy and high school
consolidation.
Make a plan for dealing with
school violence.
Make it public.
And make it work.

enforcement officers will earn
that rate, an analysis of county
payroll records shows.
Salaries have become a major
concern for Luzerne County
Council members, a majority of
whom recently voted to lay off an
estimated 56 employees and raise
taxes 2percent inorder tobalance
the 2012 budget.
The widely disparate compen-
sationamongdepartments serves
as a prime example of why the
county needs to overhaul salary
structures and hiring practices,
said County Council Chairman
Jim Bobeck and Interim County
Manager Tom Pribula.
Consider:
Salariespaidtoprobationand
domestic relations officers rank
the workers among the top 3.5
percent of the highest wage ear-
ners employed by the county, ex-
ceeding salaries of nearly 97 per-
cent of the1,573 full-time employ-
ees, including many who have ad-
vanced degrees.
Most probationanddomestic
relations officers have a bachelors
degree or less, yet they will earn
more than14 of the15 full-time as-
sistant district attorneys, whose
salaries range from $41,200 to
$49,284, and five of the eight full-
time public defenders, who will
earn$41,200to$50,135. Theyalso
will top nearly every department
head in the county, most of whom
earn between $40,000 to $55,000,
and several county engineers,
who will earn between $41,200
and $57,680.
Bobeck said he knew wages in
probation and domestic relations
were high, but he hadnoidea how
great the disparity was between
other departments until advised
of findings in The Times Leaders
analysis.
Those numbers are startling
tome. I knewprobationwas good.
I didnt know it was that good,
Bobecksaid. Imnot sayingsome
people should not be paid more if
there are certain requirements for
jobs. But there is no parity Ive
been preaching to council that we
need a countywide salary struc-
ture and countywide hiring prac-
tices.
Court controls hirings
All positions within the county
hadtobeapprovedbythenow-de-
funct county salary board, which
ceased to exist once home rule
took effect. But the president
judgehassolediscretionover who
gets court-related jobs, appoint-
ing them via a court order.
As a department, Probation
Services will have the third high-
est base payroll (not including
overtime) in the county this year,
behind only the Luzerne County
Correctional Facility and Chil-
dren and Youth Services.
Thecountyis set tospend$5.91
million on base salaries for Proba-
tions113employees, includingpro-
bation officers, supervisors and
support staff. Domestic Relations,
meanwhile, is the fifth most costly
department with a base payroll of
$3 million.
And those costs are going to es-
calate in the coming years as most
unionized employees will receive
raises of roughly $1,300 to $1,800
annually for each of the next two
years of thefive-year pact. That will
bring the top rate from $60,557 to
$64,266 in 2014.
Under the current contract, a
probation officer reaches the top
ratewithineight years. That means
a person hired in January 2010 at a
salary of $42,511 will earn $54,918
in 2014 a $12,407 raise, or 29 per-
cent. If thenumberof stepsremains
the same in the next contract, they
would reach top rate by 2017.
Probation and Domestic Rela-
tions each require employees to
hold a college degree, but there are
a handful of employees in both de-
partments who do not have a de-
gree because they were grandfa-
thered in prior to that becoming a
requirement.
Employees in both departments
are covered under a five-year con-
tract withtheCourt AppointedPro-
fessional Employees Association
that runs through Dec. 31, 2014.
Challenges, dangers
Charles Majikes, a probationoffi-
cer who heads the union, agreed
the salaries are high compared to
most other departments, but those
departments dont face the same
challenges and dangers as proba-
tionanddomesticrelationsofficers,
he said.
Probationofficers monitor crimi-
nal offenders released from prison
to ensure they are complying with
conditions of probation or parole.
Their jobs includeconductingdrug
tests and pre-sentence investiga-
tions, referringclients tothe appro-
priate agencies and, in the case of
higher risk offenders, conducting
spot checks at their homes.
People dont understand the
dangers we are subjected to every
day. Were dealing with convicted
felons. When we go knock on a
door, wehavenoideawhatsbehind
that door, Majikes said.
He acknowledged the domestic
relations officers, most of whomsit
behindadeskinanofficeprotected
by metal detectors and guards,
dont face the same degree of dan-
ger as probation officers.
He said theyre still at risk, giv-
en the nature of their jobs and the
unpredictability of how people
will react.
They subject themselves to
danger every day, too, Majikes
said. If someone is out there not
holding up to their responsibility
as far as childsupport, theyretold
were going to take this much
money off of you, people react dif-
ferently.
Bobeck said he doesnt dis-
count the challenges of the jobs,
but other employees, including
prison guards and sheriffs depu-
ties, also face dangers.
You want to pay people an ap-
propriate salary, but it has to be in
line with the work, Bobeck said.
Bobeck isnt the only person
questioning the salaries.
The disparity has long been a
source of consternation for Chief
Public Defender Al Flora Jr., who
has questioned how compensa-
tion levels were determined.
The salary structure in the
county does not make any sense,
Florasaid. WhenI seeayoungas-
sistant district attorney or public
defender with all those years of
education behind them, and they
have a starting salary of $20,000
less than someone with a bache-
lors degree, Im offended.
Managers pay lower
Michael Vecchio, director of
Probation Services, said he also
has concerns regarding the differ-
ences in pay for unionized work-
ers compared to managers.
At a salary of $78,159, Vecchio
will earn more than any union
member in his department, but
thats not the case for five super-
visors in the office, who will earn
$59,685-- $892less thana toprate
union employee.
Its not conducive to keeping
managers if the officers get a pay
increase each year and manage-
ment doesnt, Vecchio said.
Majikes said he believes union
workers are being unfairly target-
ed as an easy scapegoat for
county officials looking to layoffs
as a quick fix for the countys fi-
nancial problems.
The salaries paid in Probation
andDomesticRelationsarethere-
sult of years of raises contained in
collective bargaining agreements
reached with the county, Majikes
said. If county officials were not
happy with the contracts, they
didnt have to approve them.
Contractual negligence
Bobeck, who took office in Ja-
nuary along with the other 10
county council members, said he
doesnt know why former county
commissioners, who approved
the union contracts, agreed to
such generous terms.
I have to assume there were
years of contractual negligence,
Bobeck said.
Bobeck said council intends to
take a close look at union contracts
and seek concessions. He and Prib-
ula acknowledged that could be a
tough challenge. Any changes
would have to be negotiated with
each of the county unions.
Its hard to cut a collective bar-
gaining agreement. Im not saying
it cant be done, but its pretty diffi-
cult, Pribula said. You need to
start by tiering future contracts
down with new hires. Its pretty
difficult to get a major concession
fromexisting people.
Bobeck said hes committed to
doing just that.
A majority of council members
agreedtoraisereal estatetaxes this
year, allowing the county to reduce
the number of layoffs. He said
unionsshouldnot expect council to
take that action again.
If theycantgetahandleonesca-
lating costs, there are going to be
serious issues down the road that
lead to greater cuts, Bobeck said.
SALARIES

Juvenile probation officers also
fared exceptionally well in 2010,
earning an average of $56,732
the second highest average salary
out of all counties in the state, ac-
cording to report by the Juvenile
Court Judges Commission.
Compensation paid to proba-
tionemployeeshascomeunderin-
creased scrutiny by Luzerne
Countyofficials, whoarequestion-
ing the disparity in wages with
other departments in the county,
as well as the state.
The overall statewide average
salary for adult probation officers
was $45,861in 2010 with the high-
est average pay offered by Bucks
County ($65,560) and the lowest
in Forest County ($20,462), ac-
cording to County Adult Proba-
tion and Parole Statistical Report
(CAPP) issued by the state Board
of Probation and Parole.
For juvenile probation officers,
the overall state average was
$43,934. Lehigh County had the
highest average salary at $57,972,
while Huntingdon County paid
the lowest average at $25,139, ac-
cording to the Juvenile Probation
Personnel report issued by the Ju-
venileCourt Judges Commission.
Disparities noticed
Mike Shucosky, deputy court
administrator, said the court sys-
tem, which controls all hirings
within court branches, has also
taken notice of the disparities.
Officials are vowing to under-
take a reviewof the department to
determine whether staffing levels
are appropriate, he said.
The proposed review was
prompted in part, Shucosky said,
by the CAPP report, which
showed Luzerne County adult
probation officers had an average
caseload of 97 offenders in 2010 --
the third lowest caseload out the
all third-class counties.
One of the courts concerns is
whether or not we are in variance
with the caseloads of other coun-
ties that are comparable in size to
us and whether or not we are mis-
managing resources, Shucosky
said. The statistics we are getting
leadus torequireaccountabilityof
the probation office and request a
good solid reason for the staffing
and work load.
The CAPP report, released in
November, showed wide dispari-
ties between caseloads and sala-
ries amongst counties.
Probationofficers inYorkCoun-
ty, for instance, had an average
caseload of 173 offenders 78 per-
cent higher than Luzerne County
probation officers. Yet officers in
Yorkhave the thirdlowest average
salary at $43,010.
In Berks County, probation offi-
cershadanaveragecaseloadof196
offenders more than double the
Luzerne County caseload. Those
officers earned an average of
$52,809.
Longevity factors in
Tom Pribula, interim county
manager for Luzerne County, said
thehighsalarycostsherearelarge-
ly tied to longevity bonuses con-
tained in the union contract,
which allow probation officers to
attain top rate within eight years.
In2012, 62 of 72 probationofficers
will earn the top rate of $60,577.
A lot of people were hired
around the same time. As you go
throughtheprogressivesteps, you
get to the highest level, plus they
get a salary increase. There are a
lot of people hitting their peak sal-
aries, Pribula said.
Whilethats costly, it has alsore-
duced turnover, resulting in the
county having one of the most ex-
periencedprobationstaffs, with87
percent of employees having five
or more years of experience in
2010, according to the CAPP re-
port.
Compare that to York County,
which has had high turnover rates
for years, due largely to the high
caseload and lower than average
salaries, said Al Sable, director of
adult probation.
Just 57 percent of his staff had
five or more years of experience in
2010, according to the CAPP re-
port.
Experience factors in
Sable said thats been a major
concern. His staff has struggled to
keepupwithcaseloads. Fortunate-
ly, he said, he was able toconvince
the county commissioners this
year to restore several positions
that were eliminated several years
ago.
Frequent turnover creates a
lack of stability. The less stable
youare, themoreroomthereis for
things to slip through the cracks,
Sable said. For every new proba-
tion officer we bring in, its a mini-
mum of a year before they get to
knowthe operation.
What is anappropriatecaseload
for probation officers?
The American Probation and
Parole Association, an organiza-
tionthat represents probationoffi-
cers, has saidthats adifficult ques-
tion to answer given the variance
inthe types of offenders andsetup
of county probation offices.
The organization recommends
caseloads be based on a work-
load model, which factors in the
complexity of the case.
A case with a high priority
would require four hours per
month equaling 30 as a total case-
load. Medium priority would re-
quire two hours per month equal-
ing 60 as a total caseload. Lowpri-
ority would require one hour per
monthequalinga total caseloadof
120.
Michael Vecchio, county direc-
tor of Probation Services, said he
has always set the standard at
around100 cases per probation of-
ficer, with some officers having
more or less, basedonthe types of
cases they handle.
ProbationServicesisamongnu-
merous departments that have
beentargetedfor layoffs bycounty
council, whichis set tovote onthe
budget tonight.
Shucosky said the department
expects to eliminate six to10 posi-
tions through layoffs or by not fill-
ing open positions.
Vecchio said he understands
concerns of county officials strug-
glingtobalancethebudget. But he
cautioned that we cant lose sight
of the importance of the work his
department does.
Every person we supervise is a
convicted felon, Vecchio said.
The fact we have lower caseloads
allows us to make more field con-
tacts and be more in tune with
what anoffender is doing. ... If you
start cutting staff, it will certainly
impact thedeliveryof thoseservic-
es.

JUVENILE PROBATION COMPARISON
These are average salaries for third-class counties in Pennsylvania, taken from the
2010 Juvenile Probation Personnel Report of the Juvenile Court Judges Commission.
about $10.50 more on a proper-
ty assessed at $100,000. Proper-
ty taxes are currently 5.215
mills, or $521 on a $100,000
property.
Many workers are equally un-
happy because the $122.7 mil-
lion operating budget is a $1.56
million reduction from last
years actual spending. The
planrequires anestimated50 to
60 layoffs in addition to 23 cuts
from recent retirements and

borhood with
many elderly resi-
dents who cant
affordanincrease, even$10. His
neighbor gets by on $560 a
month in Social Security, he
said.
Its going to hurt some peo-
ple, and I just want you to be
aware of that, Turnbaugh said.
He advised county officials to
compare staffing levels and sal-
aries to those in other similarly
sized counties to identify po-
tential overstaffing and out-of-
whack compensation.
Wilkes-Barre resident Robert
Shortz said he will make do
with the tax hike but cautioned
council that many county resi-
dents have diminishing in-
come, including him.
Kingston taxpayer Ed Gusti-
tus pointed to the cost of sala-
ries and benefits, particularly
for union workers, saying all
they do is take.
Im just fighting for the tax-
payers, Gustitus said.
Attorney Matthew Muckler,
who works in the county Dis-
trict Attorneys Office, told
council members they are
playing with fire reducing
budgets in the district attor-
neys, clerk of courts and public
defenders offices.
Muckler said all three offices
are understaffed and facing dif-
ficulties keeping up with de-
mands. Budget cuts shouldnt
drive decisions on which cases
should be prosecuted, he said.
Prison union representative
Tony Seiwell questioned how
the prison will be able to absorb
14 layoffs, noting the prison
warden recently hired five new
workers because they were
needed.
Seiwell also said people crit-
icizing the benefits for prison
workers may not realize they
have a managed care plan that
does not include dental or eye
insurance. Unionized prison
workers wont start paying to-
ward health care until the start
of 2013, when they will contrib-
ute $60 per month.
Duryea resi-
dent Kevin
OBrien chal-
lenged the pay-
ment of on-call
stipends to work-
ers and health
care for part-time
court attorneys.
OBrien said he
accepted paying
toward health in-
surance and always being on
call without additional com-
pensation when he was county
emergency management direc-
tor because he was glad to have
a job. County employees should
look for other work if they be-
lieve they can do better, he
said.
County Controller Walter
Griffith asked council to cancel
the tax hike. Union representa-
tives complain about layoffs but
are not willing to freeze their
pay hikes or give up extras such
as longevity bonuses and uni-
form allowances in some de-
partments that dont require
special uniforms, he said.
Griffith said he is sharing in
cuts by eliminating two em-
ployees, which will leave him
with a staff of four, including
him.
Brian Shiner, also of King-
ston, said his 95-year-old father
lives on Social Security and
isnt thrilled with a $10.50 in-
crease, but viewed it as a pen-
alty on county taxpayers who
did not speak up when the
countys debt ballooned to
more than $400 million.
The 2 percent hike will equa-
te to a fast food meal, he said.
Shiner said the new council
had limited timely options be-
cause the sins of forefathers
were heaped upon them and
unions werent willing to freeze
pay hikes or take off 12 days
without pay.
He challenged the council
and incoming manager Robert
Lawton to implement efficien-
cies that would allow taxes to
be reduced 2 percent in 2013.
BUDGET
The Luzerne County Council will
adopt the 2012 amended budget

Barre.

ot so fast on that possibility
of the New York Mets mov-
ing their Double-A affiliate
out of the country.
The Eastern League isnt even
certain it wants to extend its
boundaries across the Canadian
border.
So the team in Binghamton isnt
bound for Ottawa.
When reports surfaced late last
week concerning the Mets shifting
their Double-A farm team to Cana-
das capital city, Eastern League
president Joe McEacharn didnt just
stop at calling that scenario prema-
ture.
He said its false.
A complete fabrication, McEa-
charn said.
Truth be told, though, the league
is entertaining the possibility of
putting someone there.
A big-town atmosphere in a town
that once hosted Triple-A baseball
can appear pretty tempting to a
league of lesser talent.
Its a big city, the capital city of
Canada, McEacharn said. It al-
ready has a stadium. Its got 1.3
million people.
He also cited the Eastern
Leagues success after moving a
team to Richmond, following the
departure of the old Triple-A R-
Braves.
But going to Ottawa would be a
brave move at this point for any
league.
Unless that leagues made up of
hockey teams.
Ottawas citizens prefer their
games played on ice, as evidenced
by the success of the NHLs Ottawa
Senators and the lack of interest in
the Triple-A teams that formerly
played there.
Ottawa couldnt draw in the 1990s
even after their Triple-A team, the
Lynx, won the Governors Cup title.
Thats why the International
League pulled out of town.
When it came back for a season,
with the old Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
Red Barons using Ottawa as a tem-
porary stop on the way to Lehigh
Valley during the 2006 season,
those Phillies prospects were met
with indifference by the home
crowd.
Still, the Eastern Leagues curi-
ous if things will change in Ottawa
with a different new brand of ball.
The Eastern League is in the
process of exploring whether or not
Ottawa makes sense for an Eastern
League franchise, McEacharn said.
We havent made a commitment.
Before they do, Eastern League
officials want to find out a few
things.
Is Ottawas stadium still in play-
ing shape?
Does the Eastern League have a
team that wants to play in Ottawa?
Would its parent team allow it?
Will people in a hockey town ever
turn out to see their hometown
heroes swing sticks at baseballs
instead of pucks?
Were far from an answer,
McEacharn said.
It looks like a continued short
drive for area Mets fans who desire
to watch their teams Double-A
players in action, about an hour or
so north of Scranton.
Theres going to be baseball in
Binghamton, McEacharn said. We
have a team there, were going to
play there in 2012; theyve signed a
lease extension. Certainly, the Mets
are very committed to their com-
munity up there. They have a long-
term relationship with the Mets.
Its doubtful the Binghamton
Mets want to break any of that by
bolting across the border and into
the obscurity of Ottawa.

Amare Stoudemire watched Linsanity from
Florida, a welcome break as he grieved the
death of his brother.
Carmelo Anthony had a front-row seat right
in New York, where
he couldnt escape
fears he was eventual-
ly going to mess
things up.
Both superstars
will return soon, but
the question is no
longer whether they
can coexist.
Now, its how do
they fit on Jeremy Lins team.
Linsanity entered its second week Monday,
with the Knicks on a roll they feel can keep
right on going behind their surprising point
guard, whocoachMike DAntoni saidhas given
the team a spirit and a swagger.
You go into every game thinking youre go-
ing to win, and it changes everybodys mood,
DAntoni said.
Linwas chosenas EasternConference player
of the week after averaging 27.3 points and 8.3
assists in his first four starts. The Knicks have
won five in a row heading into Toronto today,
turning things around after an 8-15 start.
The Knicks used
words like fun and
exciting to describe
the last week as they
met withanenormous
media contingent for a
mid-February prac-
tice. Lin sat out prac-
tice to rest, but Stou-
demire was back on
the floor after leaving
the team last Monday after his older brother,
Hazell, was killed in a car crash.
The only positive for us during that whole
week was we were watching the basketball
games andwe were watching Linsanity andmy
family was getting a kick out of it, Stoudemire

WRIGHT TWP. Coming off of
back-to-back losses with playoff seed-
ing looming, Crestwood finished off
Dallas with a strong fourth quarter and
guaranteeditself a spot inthe District 2
Class 3Aplayoffs Monday night by out-
lasting the Mountaineers 51-47 at
home.
With the win Crestwood (14-7, 3-3)
moves into a tie with Pittston Area for
the third seed in the Wyoming Valley
Conferencefor theupcomingDistrict 2
Class 3A playoffs. Dallas (12-7, 3-3)
bumps down to a tie
for fifth with Tunk-
hannock. The top five
teams from the WVC
will make the District
2 playoffs.
Crestwood will
have a chance to im-
prove its seeding Thursday with a
home game against Coughlin. Dallas
will host Tunkhannock on the same
day to decide the final spot.
You know, we started slow tonight
but once we got that out of the way the
girls really got into this game, said
Crestwood head coach Isiah Walker.
We know that were a good team, but,
we havent been getting a lot of wins
lately, we had been in a little bit of a
slump. We definitely needed this as a
pickup.
Walkers squad can certainly take a
lift from how decisively it turned the
fourth quarter in its favor.

fense through three quarters, Crest-

Nowthat the PIAA
has released its enroll-
ment classifications
for the next two
seasons of boys bas-
ketball, its an ideal
situation to fix the
Wyoming Valley
Conference divisional alignments.
After all, GARwill be moving up to
Class 3Aand shouldnt stay in Division
III. But thats just a small part of what
should happen.
Its time to give two struggling pro-
grams Berwick and Wyoming Area
the opportunities to get back to respect-
ability.
First a little background. Berwick and
Wyoming Area have been in Division II
the last four seasons, banging heads
with perennial powers Crestwood,
Hazleton Area and Holy Redeemer
among other programs far more ad-
vanced.
During the last three seasons, which
includes the current one, Wyoming
Area is a combined 6-59 overall. Four of
those victories have come against Ber-
wick. The Warriors have won more than
six games in a season once since 2005-
06 when they finished12-11in 2008-09.
Berwick is 7-57 during that same

The students have started showing up
in waves at the Anderson Center. Fans
are officially scoreboard watching. The
Misericordia mens basketball teamis in
the midst of its best stretch in recent his-
tory, and it shows.
Winners of eight straight, the Cougars
are in sole possession of first place in the
Freedom Conference headed into the fi-
nal week of the regu-
lar season. And that
has the programand
its followers feeling
good before to-
nights game against
Kings.
Everybody loves
a winner theres
been a lot of seasons
nobody would talk
tome, coachTrevor
Woodruff joked. Its
easier to support a winner, and our fans
have been tremendous during this
whole stretch since weve gotten it go-
ing.
Hopefully we can keep winning and
giving them something fun to watch.
The men tip off at 8 p.m. at the Ander-
son Center, with the womens game
opening the doubleheader at 6 p.m.
Misericordia (17-6, 9-3) has already
clinched a spot in next weeks Freedom
Conference tournament and can guaran-
tee a home game in the opening round
by beating the Monarchs.
Thats a high priority for the Cougars,
who are10-1at the Anderson Center this
season and are unbeaten there in league
play. Their winstreakmay have received
its biggest boost back on Jan. 25 with a
last-second bucket to beat Kings 62-60
in Wilkes-Barre.
I think they believe, Woodruff said.
They believe in each other. They en-
joy working. They enjoy playing togeth-
er, and you can tell that on the court I
think. They stick together. Thats the
key, down the stretch.
We dont have the best players but
collectively theyre pretty good.
The Monarchs (9-14, 4-8) enter the re-
match coming off of one of their best ef-
forts of the season. Kings endeda seven-
game slide on Saturday with a 79-54
thrashing of Manhattanville.
Though the Monarchs are out of post-
season contention, they head into to-
nights game with some newfound confi-
dence.
For these kids, the hardest part of it
was the mental aspect of it, Kings
coach J.P. Andrejko said. Being in so
many games and being so close losing
by six points or less. It just gets disheart-

NEW ROLE FOR KRAVITZ
Katie Kravitz (Dallas) is listed
as a distance runner on the
Lock Haven womens track
roster but the freshman has
shortened up this indoor sea-
son.
Kravitz finished 16th out of 43
runners in the 800 meter run in
a time of 2:28.29 at last week-
ends Bucknell Winter Classic in
Lewisburg. She also ran the
leadoff leg on the 4x400 relay
which finished 10th in 4:22.61.
Katie has been working hard
and her diligence has been
paying off, coach Aaron Russell
said. We have been racing her
in some events she has never
done, such as the 500 and 500
meters, to work on her speed
and shes doing a great job.

BIG EFFORT FOR BULL
Gettysburg sophomore Alex
Bull (Berwick Area) came up
with a sparkling effort in the
recent DuCharme Invitational
at Dickinson. She captured the
5,000 meter run with a time of
19:04.66. That was a personal
record by over 27 seconds and
came up less than a second
from setting the school record.
Last weekend, she dropped
down to the 3,000 and finished
14th out of 32 runners at the
Bucknell Winter Classic with a
time of 11:12.48. She was run-
ning against a number of Divi-
sion I and II athletes.
Coach Aubrey Shenk talks
about her effort in the 5,000.
Alex ran her race, put her-
self in position early, main-
tained her focus, regained the
lead after a brief challenge by
the eventual second place fin-
isher in the middle of the race,
and adopted a catch me if you
can approach the remainder of
the race, the coach said.
Shenk wasnt surprised with
the effort.
Alex is one of the hardest
workers on our team, is dedi-
cated and committed to her
sport and is willing to do what-
ever is necessary to succeed.
She exemplifies the model dis-
tance runner and she is well
ahead of where she was at this
time last year.
The Bullets compete in the
Susquehanna Open this week-
end in a prep for the Centennial
Conference Championship Sat-
urday, Feb. 25 in Collegeville.
HOVEY GOES OUT IN
STYLE Scranton senior David
Hovey (Wyoming Valley West)
captured the 200 breaststroke at
the Landmark Conference
Swimming Championships last
Sunday. It was the final race of
his college career.
Its tough to make an impres-
sion when youre a freshman
with the Penn State track team
but Shelley Black is doing that
in her first season with the
Nittany Lions.
Black (Coughlin) is compet-
ing in the 60 hurdles and the
200 meter dash this winter and
her efforts in the 60 hurdles has
been impressive. In her first
college meet, she finished third
in the event at the Penn State
Relays with a time of 8.62. She
improved that time with an 11th
place finish (8.59) at the Penn
State Nationals and came up
with a season-best 8.56 to finish
third in the Sykes-Sabock Chal-
lenge, also at Penn State. This
past weekend Black finished
14th in the Tyson Invitational at
the University of Arkansas.
I think that Shelley has tran-
sitioned well, associate head
coach Chris Johnson, who
works with the hurdlers, said.
Obviously its a big challenge
from high school, but shes
adapted very well.
The coach feels that Black
will make some vast improve-
ments later in the season.
Her transition has been very
smooth but its a lot different
than what shes accustomed to,
Johnson said. But her hard
work will pay off later in the
year.
The Nittany Lions are prep-
ping for the Big East Champion-
ships Saturday, Feb. 25 in Lin-
coln, Neb.
MARSHALL MAKING
CHANGES Mandissa Mar-
shall already holds the indoor
and outdoor record in the pole
vault at George Mason Uni-
versity but according to coach
Kevin McGorty, shes training
harder than ever this season.
Marshall (Crestwood) has
cleared 13-1 both indoors and
outdoors. Shes qualified for the
ECAC championships four
times and last season, earned
All-American honorable men-
tion outdoors after her school-
record attempt earned her a
berth in the NCAA Champion-
ships.
Mandissa has been training
hard, McGorty said. She has
really focused on breaking down
her technique and trying to
make major improvements. It is
a very hard process to learn to
change especially when she
has had success with her jump-
ing so far.
Marshall and McGorty are on
the same page on the decision.
We both believe to jump
really high, she will need to
make these changes, the coach
said.
Marshall has been red-shirted
during the indoor season so that
she could focus on the technical
adjustments and not worry too
much about qualifying stan-
dards or winning meets.
She has jumped in meets but
honestly our focus is more on
what we have been working on
in practice than really how high
she jumps on any given week,
McGorty said. I feel that Man-
dissa will make a significant
breakthrough during the second
half of the outdoor season and if
we get a few weekends with
good weather we could see her
jumping well over 13-6. Its
exciting to see her working so
hard and focusing on training in
order to become a great ath-
lete.
McGorty feels that Marshall
could compete in a couple of
indoor meets for the season
ends.
Who knows, if she hits it
right, we may even see a big
jump indoors, the coach said.
That would be a pleasant sur-
prise.
MICIKAS RUNNING WELL
Junior Bobby Micikas (Crest-
wood) has come up with a pair
of solid efforts the past two
weekends for the Cornell mens
indoor track team.
In the Sykes-Sabock Invita-
tional at Penn State he finished
sixth in the 3,000 with a time of
8:27.17. And, last weekend, he
finished 20th out of 78 runners
in the 5,000 at the Valentine
Invitational in Boston with a
time of 14:41.88. Both times
have qualified him for the IC4A
Championships (March 3-4 in
Boston).
Bobby is in the midst of his
best indoor season for us,
coach Robert Johnson said. Im
certainly encouraged that hes
ahead of where he has been his
first two years and both Bobby
and myself are hoping that
outdoors he has a big break-
through like he did his senior
year in high school when he
really became one of the top
runners on the East Coast.
Johnson feels that Micikas
has the physical talent to make
the NCAA Regionals and be one
of the top 100 collegians in the
5,000.
Its just a matter of whether
he can do it while trying to be a
top pre-med student at Cornell,
the coach said.
One area where Micikas
doesnt need any improvement
in is the classroom according to
Johnson.
Bobby is regularly right near
and even occasionally above 4.0
in a very demanding course of
studies, he said. Balancing
that type of academic load with
running has been difficult to say
the least but he is doing a better
job of balancing everything this
year. Bobby is a pleasure to
have on the team and we hope
before hes done he has at least
one magical season.
The Big Red competes in the
Deneault Invitational Saturday
Katie will most likely be part
of some of our relays including
the DMR and the 4x800, Rus-
sell said.
MUSINSKI BACK IN AC-
TION Junior Krista Musinski
(Wyoming Area) is competing
in the high jump, long jump and
triple jump for the Rider wom-
ens indoor track team. She
finished 14th in the triple jump
(34-0) at the Rider-Lafayette
Invitational last Saturday at The
Armory in New York City. Prior
to that, she finished third in
both the high jump and triple
jump and sixth in the long jump
in a meet against The College of
New Jersey.
Krista got off to a decent
start this indoor season but
then experienced a strained
hamstring which kept her out of
three meets, coach Bob Hamer
said. She returned and had a
very good meet against TCNJ.
She jumped very well.
The Broncs compete in the
Metro Atlantic Athletic Confer-
ence Championships Friday at
The Armory.
Krista is very close to her
personal bests and I am very
hopeful that she will be a big
factor for us in the conference
championship, Hamer said.

stretches and got big points
when it needed from Kayla Ge-
garis, Taryn Wojnar and Sydney
Myers. The trio accounted for
all 13 of Crestwoods points in
the quarter.
I know that once we get go-
ing as a team offensively, that
were usually going to be ok,
said Walker. With us, though, I
really do think that we come out
nervous to start the game. I
thinkonce we get that slowstart
out of the way, though, that
were usually ok, but, were still
going to have to work on avoid-
ing that with the playoffs com-
ing up.
The Comets managed just six
points over the first quarter and
turned the ball over numerous
times in the face of Dallas pres-
sure, leading to some fast-break
layups for Ashley Dunbar and
Talia Szatkowski and a 14-6
lead.
Were a very aggressive
team, defensively, said Dallas
head coach Kelly Martin-John-
son. We believe that we can get
some offense through our de-
fense if we keep coming after a
team and try to pressure them
as they come up the floor.
The Mountaineers opened
the second quarter with the
same planearly. However, as the
quarter wore on Dallas couldnt
find any answer for Crestwoods
response: find Myers in the
paint.
The junior center scored
eight of her game-high23points
in the second quarter on a varie-
ty of drop-step moves to the
baseline and turnaround jump
shots. Dallas attempt to shift its
focus defensively left some
holes for Carly Hislop and Dei-
dra Ciaveralla to step through
with Hislop picking up four
points in the quarter and Ciave-
rella knocking down a three-
point jumper late in the quarter,
cutting Dallas lead down to
four, 27-23.
She has some nice low post
skills and she can just be such a
mismatch some nights, such an
advantage for us to have, offen-
sively, said Walker of Myers.
Myers went to work again in
the third quarter, this time tally-
ing seven more points while
pulling down four of her 12 re-
bounds. Dallas tried to keep
pace again behind the quick
drives to the basket and pesky
defense of Dunbar, who finished
with 13 points and five steals,
and Szatkowski, who netted 11.
Gegaris and Corina Mazzoni
added scoring drives during a
13-5 run for the Comets that cut
the lead to one point for the
start of the fourth quarter.

Continued from Page 1B
SHICKSHINNY The sign of
a champion is to be able to
overcome adversity.
Lake-Lehman missed its first
12 shots Monday night. A lively
Northwest crowd hounded the
Black Knights.
But, by the final minute, those
same Rangers fans were count-
ing down the final 40-plus sec-
onds to Lake-Lehmans title.
The Black Knights locked up
at least a share of the Wyoming
Valley Conference Division III
second-half championship with
an impressive 40-23 girls basket-
ball victory over Northwest.
We knew coming in here
they would be tough, Lake-
Lehman guard Nikki Sutliff said.
Last time, we made that come-
back on our home court. We
knew they wanted to win this
one, and they have that student
section behind them.
Lake-Lehman (6-0 WVC III,
16-5) missed its first 12 field
goal attempts, trailing North-
west for the first six minutes.
Then Nikki Sutliff dished to
Cayle Spencer (11 points) in the
right corner, and Spencer made
Lehmans first shot from the
field, giving the Knights a 7-6
lead.
That jumper sparked a 17-0
run by the Knights, who quickly
put the game away.
The big thing was when we
made that (first) basket, said
Sutliff, who had a game-high 15
points to go along with five
rebounds, five assists and five
steals. We couldnt press until
we made a basket. Then we
were able to play our pressure
game like we did in the final two
minutes of the last game (a
43-41 come-from-behind victory
over the Rangers on Jan. 18).
The lead remained at eight or
more the rest of the way for
Lehman. The lead grew to as a
many as 19 (40-21) when Sutliff
drove through three Northwest
players for a layup.
We broke down and couldnt
get into our offensive sets,
Northwest coach Chris Piatt
said. Were a team thats capa-
ble of scoring 50, 60, 70 points.
We just struggled tonight.
Northwest (4-2, 13-8) used
baskets by Christa Bosak and
DeAnna Gill to take an early
lead. A stickback by Alivia Wo-
melsdorf made it 6-3 four min-
utes into the game.
After missing their first 12
shots, the Knights made their
next six and tacked on a trio of
free throws. Their defense also
clicked into high gear, forcing 14
Northwest turnovers in the first
quarter.
We tried to use that intensity
from the last game, said Levan,
whose team has won 13 straight
games. Sure, we were a little
rough around the edges, but our
press got us going. They started
turning the ball over left and
right.
Lehman also has the top WVC
Class 2A seed in the upcoming
District 2 tournament. North-
west remains entrenched in the
third spot in the Class A brack-
et.
This was still a big game for
us looking down the line, Piatt
said. They knew a division title
was on the line, and it was more
or less nerves that showed. That
game was something we needed
to prepare for districts.
Womelsdorf finished with 10
points and 10 rebounds for the
Rangers.

span. Twowins were against
WyomingArea. One this season
came against winless Midd-West.
Addthe 2008-09season, andthe
recorddrops to8-80withthe win
that seasoncomingagainst a1-22
WesternWayne team.
The solutionseems obvious
use a power systemtoconstruct
the divisions. It has workedwell in
soccer, where teams despite their
enrollment playagainst compara-
ble opponents. Andina sense,
basketball does it as well, with
Class 3Aschools scatteredacross
three divisions. But a better jobis
necessary.
BerwickandWyomingArea
shouldbothslide downtoDivi-
sionIII. GARandMeyers should
replace theminDivisionII. Sure,
Meyers will onlybe the fourth
biggest Class 2Aschool inthe
WVCthe next twoseasons. But
size is irrelevant since Meyers will
have twostarters andsome prom-
isingbackups fromthis season
returning.
Andthe wayGARandMeyers
have runroughshodover Division
III this season, does anyone really
want tosee that again? Or would
fans prefer goodmatchups, not
onlyfor thembut Berwickand
WyomingArea as well, that would
put more people inthe gyms?
Another move toconsider, if the
aforementionedare done, is mov-
ingCoughlintoDivisionII and
movingeither Dallas or Tunk-
hannocktoDivisionI. That way
all three Wilkes-Barre Area School
District teams wouldbe inthe
same divisionandplaytwomea-
ningful games against eachother
rather thananearly-seasonexhibi-
tioncontest. Plus, Redeemer is
alsoinWilkes-Barre.
The WVChadtoscramble after
St. Michaels andWest Side Tech
droppedout after last season. It
alsolikes the boys andgirls basket-
ball divisions tobe mirror images
of eachother. That makes for an
easier time bangingout schedules.
But it shouldnt be about sim-
plicity. It shouldbe about compet-
itive balance andgeneratingin-
terest.

NONANTICOKEATMMI
Nanticoke was scheduledto
playat MMI Preplast Tuesday.
But that game as well as MMIs
game withBentonwere cancelled.
Yet, the District 2website listed
the game as wonbyNanticoke.
Heres what happened.
The PIAAallows teams to
schedule 22games prior tothe
postseason. MMI discoveredit
hadscheduled24andhadtocut
twoinorder toparticipate inthe
D2Class Aplayoffs. SoBenton
andNanticoke got the axe.
The reasonNanticoke was cut,
andthis is purelyspeculation, is
probablybecause MMIs two
WVCopponents this week
Northwest andHanover Area
were incontentionfor a D2-2A
playoff berthenteringlast week.
Nanticoke was at the bottomof
the WVCClass 3Astandings with
nohope of advancingtodistricts.

said. Thats the only smiles real-
ly they had all week.
Plenty of others were watch-
ing. The Knicks said Saturdays
victory at Minnesota was their
highest-rated game on MSG Net-
work since Anthonys Knicks de-
but last Feb. 23 against Milwau-
kee, and that ratings are up 70
percent over their season aver-
age since Lin became a starter.
Its more exciting than any-
thing, just to see the buzz that
hes created here in New York,
here in the NBA as a whole, An-
thony said. I just want to get
back there and be a part of it.
But amid all the good feelings
around the Knicks, there was the
question that wont go away until
the whole team is together in a
game.
Anthony, who has battled inju-
ries much of the season, strained
his right groin just six minutes
into Lins starting debut against
Utah last Monday, and the
Knicks hope hell be back at the
end of this week. Hes never
seemed a natural in the pick-and-
roll offense, given his preference
to isolate andtake his man1-on-1.
Thats created questions of how
or if he will adapt to play-
ing with Lin.
And yes, Anthony has heard
them.
It doesnt bother me, he said.
I knowwhat I bring to the game,
I know what I bring to this team,
my teammates know what I
bring to the team and the only
thing I can do is just go out there
and continue doing what Im do-
ing. Like I said, Jeremy, hes our
point guard right now, hes pro-
ven that, hes playing extremely
well, and I look forward to play-
ing with him, Ill tell you that.
Lin, the NBAs first American-
born player of Chinese or Taiwa-
nese decent, came with little ex-
pectations after he was undrafted
out of Harvard and cut by two
other teams before the Knicks
pickedhimup inDecember. That
underdog quality made him easy
to root for in New York, even be-
fore he turned around the
Knicks season.
Hes Rudy, Anthony said.
Anthony is the superstar
whom the Knicks broke up a
promising team to acquire from
Denver last season, and that
comes with pressure to play
great and make sure the team is,
too. So perhaps playing with Lin
can alleviate that.
This is like a dreamcome true
to me, Anthony said, referring
to the ease that playing with a
pass-first point guard can pro-
vide.
Lin understands the skepti-
cism, but pointed out that Antho-
ny whose 4.2 assists per game
are just ahead of Lins 4.1 for the
team lead is a willing and ca-
pable distributor.
I can see why theyre ques-
tioning it, just because hes a
playmaker as well and he has the
ball in his hands a lot, but I think
when he comes back were just
going to continue to run what
works for us, and hes actually in
my opinion an underrated pas-
ser, Lin said. I think well be
fine once he gets back.
DAntoni calls the talk ludi-
crous, chalking it up the same
doubters who refused to believe
that Lin was the real thing after
his first couple of starts.
Thats normal. Youve got to
say something. Lets wait and
see. Thats part of sports, DAn-
toni said.
LINSANITY
ening after awhile.
It was never a lack of effort, it
was never a lack of trying.
Theyre busting their tail every
day. And for everything to come
together for them (against Man-
hattanville) andget somesuccess
was great.
On the womens side, both
Kings (20-3, 12-0) and Misericor-
dia (14-9, 9-3) are comfortably in
the playoffs as the top two teams
in the league.
There is still plenty to play for,
however, as Misericordia fights
to host a first-round Freedom
Conference tournament game
next week and Kings looks to
bolster its resume for a potential
run at the NCAA tournament.
Bothsquads have their eyes set
on the conference championship
and the automatic bid to the na-
tional tournament that goes with
it. The Lady Monarchs debuted
at No. 3 in the Mid-Atlantic Re-
gion ranking released last week
bythe NCAAandshouldbe a can-
didate for an at-large bid to the
field of 64.
Kings topped Misericordia 51-
44 in their first meeting.
In other league action, Wilkes
hosts DeSales in a womens/
mens doubleheader tonight at
the Marts Center. The Wilkes
men trail Misericordia by a game
for first place and are aiming for a
playoff home game themselves.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. C.J. Fair
scored13 points and No. 2 Syra-
cuse scored the final six points
of the game to beat No. 19
Louisville 52-51 on Monday
night, snapping a seven-game
losing streak against the Cardi-
nals.
Syracuse (26-1, 13-1 Big East)
used an 8-0 run to take an eight-
point lead, only to see Louis-
ville (20-6, 8-5) rally with a 15-2
run of its own. But the Orange
held the Cardinals without a
point over the final 3
1
2 minutes
and Fair hit the go-ahead layup
with 2:11 left.
Fab Melo scored11 points and
the best shooting team in the
Big East overcame a 34.4 per-
cent effort, including 1 of 15
from 3-point range, to win for
the sixth straight time since
losing at Notre Dame.
Freshman Chane Behanan
had16 points and nine rebounds
for the Cardinals, who had won
six straight conference games.
It was a whiteout at the KFC
Yum! Center with 22,738 fans
wearing white and coach Rick
Pitino donning his cream-col-
ored suit, but it was far from a
shootout with both sides strug-
gling from the field.
Syracuses Scoop Jardine
missed all eight of his shots and
leading scorer Kris Joseph
struggled with foul trouble,
while Cardinals forward Kyle
Kuric went 1 for 8 from the field,
including 1 for 6 from 3-point
range.
The Orange came in shooting
48.1 this season, while the Car-
dinals defensive field goal per-
centage was fourth-best in the
nation at 37.2. Neither team
could reach that mark against
the others zone looks.
Louisville guard Chris Smith
finished with10 points, while
Gorgui Dieng had10 rebounds
and five turnovers, including a
costly one late for the Cardinals,
who shot 34.7 percent from the
field.
Brandon Triche scored eight
points, while Dion Waiters and
Joseph added seven each for the
Orange.
Triche hit a jumper Syra-
cuses first field goal outside the
paint in the second half Melo
hit two free throws and Fair
added a layup to give Syracuse a
52-51 lead with 2:11 left.
Dieng committed a turnover
instead of trying a 15-foot jump-
er, throwing it away and Smith

SAN FRANCISCO Freddie
Solomon, the former Miami Dol-
phinsand49erswidereceiver who
became knownas Fabulous Fred-
die and committed himself to
community service for decades,
died Monday. He was 59.
The 49ers announced the pass-
ing of Solomon, who lived in Flor-
ida and had battled cancer over
the past year. He played on the
first of the franchises four Super
Bowl championship teams in the
1980s during an 11-year NFL ca-
reer.
The49ers lost amember of our
family today. Well miss you, Fred-
die Solomon, 49ers CEO Jed

Tampa. He spent his first three
NFL seasons with Miami and his
final eight inSanFrancisco, finish-

During his stint in San Francis-
co, Solomonalsoranfor 329yards

memberof lateHall of Famecoach

Freddie was very influential to
me and my career, and taught me
about workethicandprofessional-
ism. He inspired me to go out
thereeverydayandemulatehim,
Hall of Fame wideout Jerry Rice
said.
After his foot-
ball career end-
ed, Solomon
worked for two
decades in com-
munity rela-
tions with the
Hillsborough

where he mentored youth and
taught vital life lessons through
football fundamentals.
Freddie Solomon was a dear
friendandagreat teammate, Hall
of Fame quarterbackJoe Montana
said. There was no one who gave
more on and off the field than
Freddie. The kindness he demon-
stratedwasinspirational toall that
knewhim, and a joy to be around.
The warmth of his smile will be
forever imbedded in my mind and
heart.
Solomon was born on Jan. 11,
1953, in Sumter, S.C. He is sur-
vivedby wife, Dee; mother, Bessie
Ruth Solomon; brothers Richard,
Oneal and Roger; and mother-in-
lawMae Jeffers.
I am deeply saddened by the
passing of my dear friend Freddie
Solomon today, former 49ers
owner Eddie DeBartolo Jr. said.
My heart goes out to Dee, his
family, the 49ers football family,
the Hillsborough County Sheriffs
office and football fans every-
where. Freddie and I have been
friends for 35 years, and he was
one of the most gentle and best
men I have ever met in my life.

erations of Wyeth works are on
display.
Add Michael Matz the train-
er of 2006 Derby winner Barbaro
to the team, and racing could
have quite a story line by the time
the Derby at Churchill Downs
rolls around on May 5.
Union Rags, by the way, has
quite the resume himself: three
victories, including the Saratoga
Special and the Champagne, and
a narrow loss to Hansen in the
Breeders Cup Juvenile in No-
vember.
Spendingthewinter inFlorida,
Union Rags is in training for his
3-year-old debut in the Fountain
of Youth at Gulfstream Park on
Feb. 26. He will be ridden by Ju-
lien Leparoux, who replaces reg-
ular rider Javier Castellano.
On Monday, Union Rags
worked five furlongs in1:03.08 at
Palm Meadows Training Center
in Boynton Beach, Fla., with Lep-
aroux aboard for the first time.
Castellano gave up the ride on
Union Rags to stick with Algo-
rithms, who is No. 2 on this
weeks Top 10 list.
There are three Derby preps
this weekend the El Camino
Real Derby (G3) at Golden Gate
Fields on Saturday, the San Vi-
cente (G2) at Santa Anita onSun-
day, and the Southwest (G3) at
Oaklawn next Monday.
One horse to watch in the
Southwest is Reckless Jerry,
owned by country music star To-
byKeith. The colt has twowins in
sixstarts, withrunner-upfinishes
in two stakes races.
A total 398 3-year-olds were
nominated for the Triple Crown
races, a significant increase over
last years total of 366. Todd
Pletcher leads all trainers with32
nominees including Algo-
rithms for the Derby, Preak-
ness and Belmont Stakes.
Some bloodlines run really
deep.
And were not even talking
about the lineage of Union Rags,
the No. 1KentuckyDerbyconten-
der on The Associated Press
opening Run to the Roses Top 10
list.
Its the owner of the 3-year-old
colt and her husband who have
caught the attention of the racing
world. And why not? Owner
Phyllis Mills Wyeth is the daugh-
ter of the late Alice duPont Mills,
a thoroughbredowner andbreed-
er, notedaviatrix, environmental-
ist, philanthropist, and promi-
nent member of the du Pont fam-
ily. Her husband is contemporary
realist painter Jamie Wyeth, son
of artist Andrew Wyeth, grand-
son of artist and illustrator N.C.
Wyeth.
Mrs. Wyeth, though, almost
ended up as Union Rags former
owner. She sold the horse for
$145,000 as a yearling, then
dreamedshe hadto buy himback
because his bloodlines trace back
to horses ownedby her family. To
do so, she paid $390,000 at a 2-
year-olds in training sale early
last year.
Its really an amazing story,
Jamie Wyeth has said. The
dream was that she really should
ownthehorseinthefamilyname.
It turned out to be a pretty good
bet.
The listed owner is Chadds
Ford Stable, a one-horse oper-
ationnamedfor the Pennsylvania
town where the Wyeths reside
and is home to the Brandywine

MIAMI Ozzie Guillen says
Hanley Ramirez is reluctant,
Carlos Zambrano is rejuvenated
and the Miami Marlins much-
maligned uniforms are redeem-
able.
They look bad, Guillen said
Monday. But if we win, those
are going to be the best uni-
forms in the game.
With spring training a week
away, Guillen spoke at the Mar-
lins media day about the teams
offseason makeover, which in-
cluded new colors, a name
change and a spending spree as
the franchise moves into a new
ballpark. Among the acquisi-
tions were manager Guillen and
former All-Star pitcher Zambra-
no, two ex-Chicagoans in the
market for a fresh start, along
with All-Star free agents Jose
Reyes, Mark Buehrle and Heath
Bell.
When asked if Ramirez has
embraced his move to third
base so Reyes can play short-
stop, Guillen said no.
I dont think hes 100-percent
on board, Guillen said. Not
yet. I dont expect him to be.
Guillen said he has talked
with Ramirez only once since
the signing of Reyes. But he ex-
pects Ramirez to accept the po-
sition switch once he realizes it
gives the Marlins their best
chance to win.
This is Hanleys team, Guil-
len said. Those guys they
brought fromoutside are tohelp
him to win the championship.
When you lose its not fun to
come to the ballpark. That hap-
pened to Hanley a lot.
The Marlins finished last in
the NL East in 2011 and havent
reached the playoffs since 2003.
But this year theyre expectedto
contend for a postseason berth
and make lots of headlines.
The transformation of the
Marlins profile is such that
theyll be the focus of Show-
times series The Franchise
this year, Major League Base-
ball said Monday. Thanks in
part to Ramirez, the talkative
Guillenandthe combative Zam-
brano, the program could be-
come a soap opera.
Zambrano wore out his wel-
come with the Cubs feuding
with teammates, management
and umpires. The Marlins be-
lieve they can revive his career
by pairing him and fellow Vene-
zuelan Guillen.
I have people in Venezuela
betting to see whens the first
time me and Carlos are going to
fight, Guillen said. He did a
lot of bad things in Chicago. He
was out of hand. He was kind of
like phony. But Carlos is a great
guy. Hes healthy. Hes hungry.
Hes going to show people who
Carlos Zambrano is.
The historically thrifty Mar-
lins acquired Zambrano in a
trade and spent $191 million to
sign Reyes, Buehrle and Bell.
They were spurned in court-
ships with Cuban defector Yoe-
nis Cespedes, who signed Mon-
day with the Oakland Athletics,
and with top free-agent prize Al-
bert Pujols.
You dont land everybody
you want to land, president of
baseball operations Larry Bein-
fest said. But I think weve
been aggressive. Were really
happy with the way the club
looks.
Beinfest said the teamshould
be fully healthy heading into
spring training. That includes
ace Josh Johnson, who has been
throwing off a moundafter mak-
ing only nine starts in 2011 be-
cause of right shoulder inflam-
mation.
I feel great, Johnson said.
No problems. I havent really
been sore yet, and Ive been let-
ting it go.

Google deal OKd by EU
Googles $12.5 billion acquisition of
cellphone maker Motorola Mobility has
won the approval of European antitrust
regulators, moving Google a major step
closer to completing the biggest deal in
its 13-year history.
Google just needs to clear a few
more regulatory hurdles before it can
take control of Motorola Mobility Hold-
ings Inc. and expand into manufactur-
ing phones, tablet computers and pos-
sibly other consumer devices.
Google is counting on gaining Moto-
rola Mobilitys more than 17,000 pat-
ents a crucial weapon in an intellec-
tual arms race with Apple, Microsoft
and other rivals .
Google still needs government ap-
provals in the U.S., China, Taiwan and
Israel.
AT&T slows down some
AT&T has started cutting the data
speeds of some users with unlimited
data plans as part of an attempt to
manage data usage on its network.
AT&T no longer offers unlimited
data plans to new customers, but those
who already had them could keep
them. AT&T has some 17 million cus-
tomers with such plans, representing
just under half of its smartphone users.
AT&T has been slowing down
speeds of the heaviest data users.
Fund outflow ends
Industry consultant Strategic Insight
reported on Monday that deposits into
stock mutual funds roughly equaled
withdrawals in January.
It snapped an eight-month streak of
investors pulling their money out each
month. From May through December,
net withdrawals totaled about $137
billion.
Near-zero returns continued to hurt
money-market mutual funds. Investors
withdrew a net $44 billion in January
from money funds.
Bear Stearns execs settle
Two former Bear Stearns executives
reached settlements Monday with
federal regulators over civil charges
they misled investors about risky mort-
gage securities when the housing mar-
ket was collapsing.
The Securities and Exchange Com-
mission said Ralph Cioffi will pay
$800,000 and be barred from the indus-
try for three years, and Matthew Tan-
nin will pay $250,000 and be banned
for two years.

AFEWWEEKSago, I
reviewedthe Droid
RAZR, Motorolas
super-slimsuper
smartphone.
Well, it looks like
Motorola feels that
youcant have too
muchof a goodthing, soit has giventhe
RAZRa newer, chunkier siblinginthe
RAZRMAXX.
The RAZRMAXXis identical in
nearly every functional aspect tothe
DroidRAZR: It features an8megapixel
camera, a1.2Ghz dual-core processor,
and1gigabyte of RAM. Like its sibling,
the RAZR, it operates onVerizons 4G
high-speednetwork. It alsofeatures
scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass from
Corninganda reinforcedcase. It also
shares the Motorola interface running
onAndroid2.3.5(Gingerbread).
We nowarrive at the one bigdiffer-
ence betweenthe twodevices, andthis
has the potential tobe important: bat-
tery life. The MAXXfeatures a battery
withnearly 90percent more capacity
thanthe original RAZR. Whena phone
operates ona 4Gnetwork, battery usage
goes updramatically youre pullingina
lot more bandwidthandgivingthe
processors inthe phone a real workout.
This is where this device shines. The
battery inthe MAXXlasts about 21
hours, vs. the original RAZRs12-hour
lifespan.
Is this important enoughtojustify
releasinganentirely newmodel? I reluc-
tantly conclude that it is. The Droid
RAZRis a goodphone, nodoubt about
it. What stops it frombecominga great
phone is the limitedbattery potential.
The RAZRMAXXswaps
a tiny bit of sleekfor a
whole lot of functional,
andits a worthwhile
trade, inmy opinion.
Havinga really thin
phone is cool andall, but havingone
that works is muchbetter. At 8.9mmits
still one of the thinnest 4Gphones avail-
able (the original DroidRAZRis just
7.1mmthick), andit actually seems to
be a bit more comfortable tohandle
the original RAZRwas thinenoughthat
it coulddigintoyour handif it was
grippedtootightly. If I were Motorola,
Idhave releasedbothat the same time,
giventhe similarities.
The DroidRAZRMAXXcosts
$299.99witha new2-year contract, and
$649.99at the full retail price.

Warning: Be on the lookout for
crooks sinking their digital paws into
your brokerage account.
The Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority recently issued an investor
alert to guard your account against
hackers after it said it received an in-
creasing number of reports of stolen
customer funds.
FINRA, the self-regulatory organiza-
tion of the brokerage industry, said the
thefts occurred as a result of instruc-
tions emailed to firms from customer
email accounts that have been compro-
mised.
These incidents highlight some of
the risks associated with accepting in-
structions to transmit or withdraw
funds via email, the organization said.
Among the ways to protect yourself:
Guard your passwords and PINs
and dont store them on your comput-
er.
Make sure your computer has up-
to-date security software, including se-
curity patches.
For laptops, be sure to use encryp-
tion software.
Dont use public computers to ac-
cess your brokerage account.
Check your computer occasionally
to make sure no one has attached any
device or added programs without
your knowledge or consent.
Always log out of your brokerage
account completely when you finish.
Dont respond to emails requesting
personal information. Legitimate com-
panies will not ask you to provide or
verify sensitive information through
email.

ASHINGTON Gen-
eral Electric Co. plans
to hire 5,000 veterans
over the next five years
and invest $580 million to expand
its aviation business.
The announcements Monday
were part of a four-day event that
the global conglomerate is hosting
with partners in Washington, D.C.,
that focuses on issues such as man-
ufacturing and job creation in
America.
GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt heads up
President Obamas 27-member jobs
council.
GE said Monday that its Hiring
Our Heroes partnership will help
match veterans with jobs. The
company, whose products range
from jet engines to light bulbs, will
also team with the U.S. Chamber of
Commerce to sponsor 400 veter-
ans job fairs this year. GE current-
ly employs more than 10,000 veter-
ans and has about 100 U.S. employ-
ee reservists currently serving
overseas.
In addition, its aviation unit will
add more than 400 new manufac-
turing jobs and open three new
plants in Ellisville, Miss., Auburn,
Ala., and Dayton, Ohio, next year.
GE said that the plants are part of
its efforts to create or rebuild 16 fa-
cilities and more than 12,000 new
jobs. The company started produc-
tion on its first new appliance line
in more than 50 years last week at
Appliance Park in Louisville, Ky.
The company expects to double
its number of engineering interns
to more than 5,000 as part of the
Presidents Council on Jobs and
Competitiveness initiative to grad-
uate 10,000 more engineers a year
in the U.S. GE says this often leads
to jobs, as 80 percent of its full-time
engineers have been hired from the
internship program. It has more
than 19,000 engineers on staff.
It also plans pilot programs to re-
duce health care costs in Louis-
ville, Ky. and Erie, Pa. GE, which is
based in Fairfield, Conn., also
plans to open several manufactur-
ing training centers in locations
such as Houston and Cincinnati to
help build job skills.

Today's date
marks the fth
anniversary of a
crippling snow
storm that para-
lyzed our area
with 14 to 23
inches of snow.
That's about how
much snow
we've had since
the middle of
last October and
today's snowfall
is certainly noth-
ing to write
home about with
less than one
inch expected
into tonight.
Like back in
2007, February
snow storms
have a reputa-
tion to 'bomb' or
explode with
intensity along
the East Coast.
So far this win-
ter, the atmos-
phere has not
conspired to cre-
ate any monster
storms of this
nature. There
was a 'bomb'
which dumped
37 inches on
Gouldsboro in
February 1978.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: A storm system will push onshore in the Pacic Northwest, allowing for rain
and higher elevation snow to develop over western Washington and Oregon. An upper-level trough of
low pressure will also produce rain and snow from the eastern Great Basin and portions of the
Southwest into the Rocky Mountains.

HEALTH S E C T I O N C

Q: What causes osteoar-
thritis?
M.S., Frederick, Pa.
A: Osteoarthritis, the
progress wearing down
of the cartilage in joints,
is generally thought to
occur because of progres-
sive wear and tear of the joint especially
the joints in the knees, hips and low back.
Excess body weight and repetitive injury to
certain joints are known risk factors for
developing osteoarthritis, but its actually
not as simple as that. Its not known, for
example, why some joints are affected by
arthritis if they have not suffered any previ-
ous injury or disease. Osteoarthritis of the
fingers is more likely to be seen in women
than in men. Osteoarthritis definitely has a
genetic factor, as osteoarthritis is more
likely to develop in folks who have a moth-
er or father who suffered with it.
New research suggests that there may be
a link between our chromosomes and
osteoarthritis. Every time a cell divides, the
protective tips of the chromosomes called
telomeres become shorter. Think of
them like the protective tips of your shoe-
laces. When cells divide, they duplicate
their DNA genetic information contained
on chromosomes. Eventually, cells cant
divide any longer to replace old worn out
cells because the telomeres tips of chromo-
somes become too short and wont allow
it. That spells death for that cell and repre-
sents what it is to age. That process in
terms of joint cartilage means that new
joint cartilage can no longer be produced.
As we age, the process of telomere short-
ening contributes to the eventual death of
cartilage cells and osteoarthritis.
Daily fish oil supplementation, cardio-
vascular exercise and vitamin D supple-
mentation can actually reverse the process
of telomere shortening and possibly slow
down the development of osteoarthritis.
Smoking causes oxidative stress to cells by
causing telomeres to prematurely shorten.
Q: I avoid getting flu shots because I
have a latex allergy. Why is there latex in a
flu shot? It doesnt make any sense to me.
G.G., Sewell, N.J.
A: Its not the vaccine itself that may
contain latex; its the prefilled syringes that
are the potential problem. I say potential,
because there are several manufacturers
that do not use latex in the manufacturing
of their flu vaccine.
Heres a flu vaccine list from the Amer-
ican Latex Allergy Association: Afluria:
The rubber tip cap and plunger used for
both the single-dose syringes and the
rubber stoppers used for the multi-dose
vial contain no latex; Fluarix: The tip
caps of the prefilled syringes may contain
natural rubber latex which may cause an
allergic reaction in folks with a latex
allergy; FluLaval: The multi-dose vials do
not contain latex; Fluvirin: The tip caps
of the single-dose syringes may contain
natural rubber latex. Their multi-dose
vials do not contain latex; Fluzone: The
tip caps of the single-dose syringes mat
contain natural rubber latex. Their multi-
does vials do not contain latex; FluMist
live-attenuated single-use nasal sprayers
do not contain latex.

IN BRIEF
Pizza from Provence
There are probably as many recipes for pissaladiere, the classic onion
pizza from southern France, as there are cooks to make it.
The basics of the recipe are the
same - finely sliced onions that are
sauted in olive oil with garlic and
thyme, then spread on top
of a pizza-like crust and baked
Some cooks garnish their
pissaladiere with olives, others
with anchovies; both are optional
Pissaladiere can be round,
oblong or square, depending
on the pan used
These pizzas are rich in olive oil,
a healthy dietary fat that can help
lower cholesterol; they can also be
high in calories, so dont overdo

Healthy Living
Weve all grabbed a candy bar or
an extra box of something-or-
other that we dont need at the
supermarket. Here are some
strategies for restraint from
Brian Wansink, director of Cor-
nell Universitys Food and Brand
Lab and author of the book
Mindless Eating: Why We Eat
More Than We Think:
Dont shop when youre hungry.
Not only will you likely buy more,
youll be attracted to heavily
processed foods.
Start in the healthiest aisles. If
you fill your cart with fruit,
vegetables and other nutritious
foods, youll have less room for
junk and your brain will under-
stand that youre not going to
starve. An empty cart in the chip
or cookie aisle, on the other
hand, is dangerous.
Beware of numerical deals.
Offers such as buy two, get one
free or limit 12 per person can
make people buy 30 to 100
percent more than they other-
wise would, much of which they
dont need.
Put numbers in your grocery list.
Dont just write that you need
soup, for example write how
many cans you need.
Use baskets when possible. If you
have a short list of items, avoid
shopping carts so you have to
carry everything youre going to
buy.
Try a mind game at the checkout.
If you always seem to pick up a
last-minute candy bar, set a
rule that to buy any food item
you also have to buy a non-
food item such as a magazine.
Suddenly youre spending $7
on a chocolate bar, which just
might interrupt a mindless
grab and get you thinking
about what you really need.

oday, Valentines Day, make a date
with what else? chocolate.
During Valentines week, Ameri-
cans are expected to buy more than 58 mil-
lion pounds of chocolate candy. And more
than 36 million heart-shaped boxes of choc-
olate will be sold, according to the National
Confectioners Association.
If chocolate indeedis the way toyour swee-
ties heart, it may be truer thanever. Ongoing
researchsupports the healthbenefits of choc-
olate, particularly the dark variety.
Cocoa beans contain flavanoids that have
antioxidant qualities. Antioxidants combat
free radicals that damage cells. They also
help reduce cholesterol, lower blood pres-
sure and improve cardiovascular health.

How do you melt chocolate? Chop the chocolate
into small pieces so it melts evenly. Microwave it in
25- to 45- second increments, making sure to stir in
between. Do not overheat it or it will burn. Or you
could place it in a heat-proof bowl set over simmer-
ing water; stir until melted.
What does it mean to temper chocolate? Its a
process of heating chocolate (120 degrees for dark
chocolate and 1 10 for milk chocolate) and then cooling
it to 82 degrees to stabilize the crystals that can form
from the cocoa butter. The chocolate is then brought
back up to about 90 degrees so you can pour it into
molds or use it for dipping confections like truffles.
Tempering gives a glossy finish. If chocolate isnt tem-
pered, gray streaks called bloom can form.
What does the cacao percentage mean on a pack-
age of chocolate? This refers to the total cacao
(cocoa bean) content of the chocolate. Generally, the
higher the percentage, the more intense the flavor. If
the product is labeled 60 percent cacao, it means
that percentage is made up of cocoa butter and
chocolate liquor (pure ground cocoa beans). The
remaining 40 percent is sugar and other ingredients.
What is ganache? Pronounced ga-NAHSH, it is a
mixture of heavy whipping cream, chocolate, butter
and sometimes corn syrup. It can be used as a glaze
for desserts and cakes, a filling for pies and tarts and
for making classic truffles.

Dr. Nickolas Togias, of Shavertown
and Binghamton, N.Y., recently
became board
certified in the
medical spe-
cialty of psychi-
atry and neu-
rology.
He is the son of
Dr. Kirk and Dr.
Aphrodite
Togias.
Ericka Roback, a pharmacist at
Harrolds Pharmacy, Wilkes-
Barre, recently completed dia-
betes educa-
tion programs
with the Amer-
ican Associ-
ation of Dia-
betes Educa-
tors and the
American
Pharmacists
Association.
The training
qualifies her to work with diabet-
ic patients one-on-one or in
group classes, providing them
the tools and support needed to
learn to manage their diabetes.
She will continue her training to
become a certified diabetes
educator.
Roback is currently teaching a
monthly class on diabetes man-
agement at the Jewish Commu-
nity Center, Wilkes-Barre.
Therapists Rob Bogdan, Karen
Johns and Dr. Paul Termini will
be joining Childrens Service
Centers behavioral health staff
within the next few weeks in
conjunction with the opening of
its new Robinson Counseling
Center.
Bogdan is a child and adolescent
therapist who will provide indi-
vidual, family, and group therapy.
He also runs social skills groups
for children ages 5 to 15.
Johns specializes in individual and
marital therapy for adults.
Termini is a board certified child
and adolescent psychiatrist.
The Center, located at 318 S. Fran-
klin St., Wilkes-Barre, is named
for Dr. J. Franklin Robinson,
medical director of CSC from
1942 until his death in 1966.
Eight Geisinger locations recently
received accreditation from the
American College of Radiology.
Geisinger clinics in Mt. Pocono,
Tunkhannock, Lewistown and
Phillipsburg , which host
Geisingers mobile CT and
MRI unit, received new ac-
creditations along with Geis-
inger-Grays Woods PET-CT
scanner. Meanwhile, the
nuclear medicine depart-
ment, two MRI units and
three CT scanners at Geis-
inger Wyoming Valley Med-
ical Center, the Woodbine
Clinics CT scanner and two
MRIs and the mammography
services at Geisinger-Lake
Scranton received renewed
accreditations.
The ACR gold seal of accred-
itation represents the high-
est level of image quality and
patient safety. It is awarded
only to facilities meeting
ACR practice guidelines and
technical standards, follow-
ing a peer-review evaluation
by board-certified physicians
and medical physicists who
are experts in the field.
Image quality, personnel
qualifications, adequacy of
facility equipment, quality
control procedures, and
quality assurance programs
are assessed.

Introducing the i110
Carolina researchers showed 45
minutes of intense exercise boost-
edthemetabolicrateinmalepartic-
ipants for a whopping14hours.
Researchers dont exactly know
howpost-exercisecalorieburningcan
occur. It is calculated by measuring
the increase in oxygen consumption
(or metabolism) after a bout of exer-
cise. If your oxygen consumption is
above your normal level after exer-
cise, youreburningmorecalories.
The secret to triggering the effect
maylieintheworkoutsintensityand
duration,accordingtotheNorthCar-
olina study, which was published in
the journal Medicine & Science in
Sports&Exercisein2011.
What matters is exercising at a
high, unrelentingintensity for a pro-
longedperiodoftime,saidstudyco-
author DavidNieman, aprofessor of
healthandexercise science at Appa-
lachian State University. Nieman, a
cardioproponent, believes thestudy
resultshelpsettlethedebate. Vigor-
oussweatgetsthehormonescycling
andcanalterthebodystemperature
andabilitytostorefuel.Ittakesalong
time for the body toget backtonor-
mal, hesaid.
Short-duration, high-intensity
exercises, meanwhile, have a high
post-exercise bump in oxygen con-
sumption that quickly falls to nor-
mal, Niemansaid.
Thestudydifferedfrommost oth-
er research in that Nieman and his
teamaskedvolunteers tospendtwo
24-hourperiodsinametaboliccham-
ber, a small lablike room, large
enough to house a desk, bed, toilet,
laptop, telephone and bike or tread-
mill.Thechamber,whichhadtwoair
locks, allowed tight control over the
environment, including spontane-
ousactivity, sleep, diet andotherfac-
torsthat couldinfluencetheresults.
During one day, the participants
sat, ate andslept; duringthe second
day, theyremainedinactivewiththe
exceptionofavigorous45-minutecy-
cling exercise. On the exercise day,
they were given extra food to keep
their energylevelsinbalance.
Based on previous work, the re-
searchers expected metabolism to
beelevatedfor anhour or twoafter
the workout. Totheir surprise, ev-
ery single subject had an extended
increase in their metabolism after
their vigorous cycling, an average
14.2 hours, said Nieman, director
of the Human Performance Lab at
the North Carolina Research Cam-
pus in Kannapolis. The net energy
expenditure was about 193 extra
calories above the rest stage. This
increase could have implications
for weight loss and management,
the study found, especially when
combined with the more than 500
extracaloriesburnedduringthe45-
minutecyclingbout.
Still, others sayit is important not
to overlook the hidden benefits of
strength or resistance exercise,
whichbuilds muscle andgreatlyim-
provesbodycomposition.
Both resistance training and
high-intensity exercise causes nor-
mal, small-scale damage to muscle
tissues. Repairing this damage re-
quires energy, whichincreases me-
tabolism. Moreover, simply sus-
taining a larger amount of muscle
mass raises your metabolic rate.
There are also hormone and in-
flammatory responses, said Mark
Schuenke, anassistant professor of
anatomy at the University of New
England College of Osteopathic
Medicine.

The higher the cocoa content of
the chocolate, the better.
I knew if I was in business
long enough theyd say chocolate
is good for you, says Gayle
Harte, owner of Gayles Choco-
lates in Royal Oak, Mich.
More andmore people are try-
ing dark chocolate now, and they
are finding out dark chocolate is
good tasting.
Harte started her chocolate
business more than 33 years ago,
making hand-rolled and -dipped
truffles. Theyre still being made
that way at her flagship store in
Royal Oak and two outlets at De-
troit Metro Airport.
I think Valentines is a truffle
holiday, Harte says. Its a special
piece of candy, and I havent seen
them go in or out of fashion.
Homemade truffles can be a rel-
atively effortless gift from the
heart.
You can do as we did with our
chocolate ganache truffles and
cover theminathinlayer of choco-
late to protect their melt-in-your-
mouth center. Or take the simpler
approach and merely dust them
with cocoa powder. Looking for
something even easier? Just roll
them in chopped nuts for another
little antioxidant hit.
For cupcake lovers, the dried
cherries in our chocolate cup-
cakes also add some antioxidant
power to the bittersweet choco-
late. And theres more chocolate
ganache in our tarts, an easy
dessert for two that pairs the rich
chocolate with caramel and a
sprinkling of sea salt.
Despiteall thegoodhealthnews
about chocolate, that shouldnt be
a license to overindulge. (OK, its
Valentines Day.) Chocolate still
has calories, fat and saturated fat.
There are no hard-and-fast guide-
lines, but a moderate portion of
chocolate 1 ounce a few
times a week is fine.

1 tablespoon hot water

seconds. Place the sugar, water and
corn syrup in a small, heavy sauce-
pan; bring to a boil, stirring until the
sugar melts. Boil, uncovered, until
the mixture is caramel-colored.
Remove fromthe heat and immedi-
ately, but slowly, whisk in the hot

Whisk in the vanilla. Pour into the
pastry shells. Divide nuts and sprin-
kle evenly over the caramel. Refrig-

wave on high power until simmer-
ing, about 25 seconds. Stir in the
chocolate until smooth. Stir in the
hot water until blended. Pour over
caramel in tarts, dividing evenly.
Let stand until chocolate is set,
about 1 hour. Sprinkle lightly with
sea salt and serve.

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: At this
time of year I have
seen letters in your
column from couples
describing how they
met. I hope you will
print ours.
During a study
break one evening in April 1937, I
walked to Bruckner Boulevard Park
in the Bronx to sit on a bench and
watch the cars drive by. A cyclist
whizzed through the center walkway,
then stopped and slowly backed up to
where I was sitting.
Hello, he said. I responded. Who
are you? he asked. Im Queen Eliza-
beth the First, I told him without
batting an eye. Well, he replied,
Im Sir Walter Raleigh unfortu-
nately, I dont have a coat to place at
your feet. Then he sat down beside
me. We talked, we laughed, and he
walked me home.
Four years later, Ben and I eloped.
That was April 3, 1941.
This year we will celebrate our 71st
anniversary and have, in our lifetime
together, accumulated three beauti-
ful daughters, nine grandchildren,
20 great-grandchildren, three great-
great-grandchildren and another on
the way.
We have shared our tears, our joys,
our failures and our successes. We
have worked long hours, taken vaca-
tions, participated in sports and trav-
eled. We have enjoyed every moment.
Now in our 90s, we are financially
secure, have a caring family and many
beautiful memories. Ben, however,
has not as yet placed his coat at my
feet.
Bella in New York
Dear Bella: No he took you on a
lifetime magic carpet ride instead.
May you enjoy many more years of
happiness together.
Dear Abby: Last weekend I went to
a birthday slumber party at a friends
house. We played poker as we often
do, then one girl suggested we play
strip poker. She was kind of pushy
about it. I wasnt comfortable with
the idea and chose not to partici-
pate. I was the only one. Everybody
laughed at me. They called me a
prude and told me all girls look the
same.
I dont think Im a prude. Im not
shy about undressing in front of my
sister and friends. Im just not com-
fortable about something like this and
saw no point to it. I mean, if were all
the same, then whats the reason for
exposing our bodies to each other?
Everybody thought it was fun, and
those who ended up taking it all off
laughed about it.
Is there something wrong with
me? Now theyre talking about doing
it at future slumber parties, so Im
not sure how to handle it. I could
just not attend, but this is the group
I hang out with, and I dont like to
miss out.
No Prude in Sacramento
Dear No Prude: Not only is there
nothing wrong with you, I applaud
you for not giving in to peer pressure
and doing something you didnt feel
was right. It took maturity to refuse.
Because youre not comfortable
playing strip poker, you should make
other plans for those nights. This
doesnt mean you shouldnt socialize
with your friends but consider
cultivating a few more relationships
with girls who have broader interests.
That way youll have something to do
on nights they are playing.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Queen and her gallant knight have shared a lifetime of love together

memorable and most frequently re-
quested poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You
come alive in a small group and
will steal the show with your
charm. If youre not already
planning to be around a few
close friends, pull a last-minute
soiree together.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Partners and friends may want
more of your time than you
expected to give. Keep the
schedule loose, and youll be
able to accommodate the fun
surprises and twists of the day.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Being
enamored causes you to stretch
your usual bounds of reason.
You may act silly, believe the
unbelievable or suddenly want
with your heart.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Not
wanting to perpetuate generic
sentiments, youll find a way to
celebrate this holiday that high-
lights the unique way you give
your love.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Even when
your activities are relatively
down to earth, exciting escapes
and miraculous fantasies domi-
nate your thoughts. Tonights
rendezvous turns out even bet-
ter than you could have planned.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your
presence is calming, your
warmth disarming. The one
whos always on will feel com-
fortable enough to relax and be
real around you. Tonights con-
versation reveals deep affection.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have
many people to please, and
you dont want to leave anyone
out. Be careful not to spend so
much time on your large circle
of friends that you neglect the
circle of your dearest.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Youre not one for sappy senti-
ments. You say the honest truth,
and it will be the most loving and
affectionate expression anyone
could want to hear. Tonight fea-
tures a sit-down dinner and lively
conversation.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
You have a plan, but youre
always willing to ditch it for
something with exciting promise.
Unexpected twists of plot will
carry you into the arms of love.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You
have a way of inspiring others
to bring their A game. Tonight:
You may be moved to spend
your money on something you
didnt used to consider valuable.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). In
an act that blends your musical
and emotional intelligence, youll
learn the song thats inside the
heart of your love so you can
sing it back in quiet moments.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You
know that you will change and
so will your relationship. You
endeavor to take those changes
in a positive direction. You
welcome the chance to make
romance a priority.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Feb. 14).
Youll dare to dream and create
the future. Next month brings
greater self-discipline and a
new fitness regimen. Youll love
the boost you get from helpful
people in April. This summer,
someone treats you like a special
date again and again. It will
feel lovely to be cherished. New
financial avenues open up in
June. Taurus and Gemini people
adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 30, 50, 7, 22 and 19.
