County Controller Walter Grif-
fith said hes recommending
withholding payment from an at-
torney who submitted more than
$39,000 in invoices for represent-
ing parents in Children and
Youth cases until the bills are
thoroughly reviewed and ap-
proved by the
court system
and/or county
manager.
Griffith said
he had several
questions re-
garding various
charges attor-
ney Jami
Brown of Wilkes-Barre included
on invoices, including one
charge, listed only as transpor-
tation, that appeared on numer-
ous bills.
Griffith also is questioning
why Brown waited 15 months to
present some of the bills for pay-
ment.
Brown on Monday delivered
151 invoices dating from Novem-
ber 2010 to August 2011that seek
payment from a special legal ser-
vices fund used to pay attorneys
who represent parents whose
children are in the custody of
Children and Youth Services.

About 67 Luzerne County
employees will be laid off by
Thursday due to 2012 budget
cuts, according to data released
during Tuesdays county coun-
cil meeting.
The budget also cuts some
positions vacated by resigna-
tions and the elimination of sev-
eral elected row office posts in
the new home rule government,
said county Interim Manager
Tom Pribula.
In all, the 80
net reductions
will save the
county $2.79
million in sala-
ries plus bene-
fits, Pribula
said.
A county
council majori-
ty had agreed
to increase tax-
es 2 percent
and dip into a
capital bond
reserve to help
repay debt, but
layoffs were
still necessary
because the
2012 budget
decreased
spending $2.6 million.
The layoffs include 15 prison
union workers, though five of
the newer ones on probationary
status already lost their jobs
last week.
Prison union representative
Tony Seiwell urged council
Tuesday to consider the unions
unthinkable offer to give up 3
percent pay hikes for the rest of
the year in exchange for keep-
ing the 10 remaining workers.
Seiwell said the layoffs will
cause safety concerns that are
frightening and flat-out dan-
gerous. He said theres been
miscommunication with the
administration over the conces-
sion offer.
Some council members origi-
nally thought theyd have a say
in the matter, but Council
Chairman Jim Bobeck said the
home rule charter requires the
manager to present the conces-
sion to council, which hasnt
happened.
Pribula said he rejected the
offer because the administra-
tion had concerns it would tie
the hands of management. The
union wanted the five proba-
tionary workers recalled before
three furloughed managers may
return to work. Pribula said
Prison Warden Joe Piazza also
determined the correctional
complex would still meet safety
requirements with the layoffs.
Bobeck said incoming county
Manager Robert Lawton will
consider future offers of union
concessions, but the 15 prison
union layoffs will proceed as
planned.
Lawton attended an execu-
tive session with council mem-
bers before the meeting to dis-
cuss layoffs and the status of an
agreement required to proceed
with possible county demoli-
tion of the Hotel Sterling in
downtown Wilkes-Barre.
Lawton, who starts work as
the countys first permanent
manager today, stayed for the
council meeting but stood in
the back.
Several prison union workers
were in the audience Tuesday.
Corrections officer Jonathan
Lazarchick, who is on the pris-
on layoff list, told council mem-
bers they should be discussing
how to save county jobs instead
of the Hotel Sterling and other
issues.
Lazarchick said he must go
home and tell his family he is

SCRANTON A federal judge
on Tuesday granted preliminary
approval to a $17.75 million set-
tlement of the kids for cash
class action lawsuits reached
with real estate developer Robert
Mericle.
U.S. District Judge A. Richard
Caputo said he found the terms
of the settlement to be sufficient-

allow the case
to advance, but
final approval
will not be de-
cided until a fi-
nal settlement
hearing on
Sept. 10.
The ruling allows attorneys for
thousands of juveniles represent-
ed by the class to move forward
with various legal obligations
they must meet to effectuate the
settlement. They include notify-

WASHINGTON Mitt Romney
scored a hard-won, home state triumph
in Michigan and powered to victory in
Arizona Tuesday night, gaining a two-
state primary sweep over Rick Santo-
rum and precious momentum in the
most turbulent Republican presidential
race in a generation.
Romney tweeted his delight and
his determination: I take great pride in
my Michigan roots, and am humbled to
have received so much support here
these past few weeks.
On to the March con-
tests.
The two other candi-
dates, Newt Gingrich
and Ron Paul, made lit-
tle effort in either state,
pointing instead to next weeks 10-state
collection of Super Tuesday primaries
and caucuses.
Romneys Arizona triumph came in a
race that was scarcely contested, and he
pocketed all of the 29 Republican Na-
tional Convention delegates at stake in
the winner-take-all state.
Michigan was as different as could be
a hard-fought and expensive battle in
Romneys home state that he could ill af-
ford to lose and Santorum made every
effort to win.
Returns from75 percent of Michigans
precincts showed Romney at 41 percent
and Santorum at 37 percent. Paul was
winning 12 percent of the vote to 7 per-
cent for Gingrich.
Santorum was already campaigning

a.m. Feb. 28, 2010, and stood at
the counter. When the clerk ap-
proached, the man passed a note
that stated, Give me all the mon-
ey in the register and dont call
the cops and no one will get
hurt.
The clerk asked Krapf if he was
joking. He said, Im in a hurry
and pulled a small knife from a
pocket, the complaint says.
When the clerk refused to turn
over any money to Krapf, he reac-
hed over the counter and took
cash from the register.
After the robbery, the clerk
told police the suspect had patro-
nized the store many times and
was often seen in the area of Gay-
lord Avenue. Police said Krapf
was identified when he produced
his drivers license to a clerk at
the same store to buy tobacco.

WILKES-BARRE Despite
scheduling conflicts among mul-
tiple defense attorneys, prosecu-
tors and a judge, a trial will begin
in just a few weeks for five men
charged with kidnapping and

2010.

Neglected dog rescued
A neglected Golden Retriever named
Scooby was rescued by the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of
Luzerne County and by Traceys Hope
Animal Rights Activist on Monday.
Denise Kumor, executive director at
Traceys Hope in Duryea, said the orga-
nization received numerous complaints
over the weekend about a neglected
Golden Retriever outside a house on
New Street. A report was made to the
SPCA, which served a search warrant
at the house taking custody of the dog,
Kumor said.
Kumor said the dog is malnourished
due to being underfed. The dog is
being treated at the SPCA in Plains
Township, Kumor said. Donations to

LEHMANTWP. Part of a $1million
donation from a Back Mountain native
made public Tuesday will be used to
build Penn State Wilkes-
Barres first on-campus
career services center.
The 2,300-square-foot
center, an addition to the
Athletics and Recreation
Building, could open by
years end. It also will
serve as a regional career
center for students at
Penn State campuses in Hazleton,
Scranton, the Lehigh Valley and Schuyl-
kill County.
Anewregional job and internship de-
velopment position will be created, and
that worker will be based on the Penn
State Wilkes-Barre campus.
Dubbed the Struthers Family Career
Services Center, its named for school
alumnus and Shavertown native Ri-
chard K. Ric Struthers and
his wife, Sharon, who now
reside in a Wilmington, Del.
suburb.
Ric Struthers attended
Penn States Wilkes-Barre
campus from1973-75 before
transferring to University
Park, where he graduated in
1977 with a degree in busi-
ness management. He said a visit to the
campus in 2010, his first in many years,
led him to the decision that a modern
career center was needed. If you think
about the colleges in the Valley (and
compared their career service offerings
to Penn States local campuses), I think
we would be embarrassed. And I dont
like to be embarrassed, the1973 Dallas
High School graduate said.
So he began discussions with school
officials and those in the business com-
munity about changing things.

EXETER After working 18 months
with an expired contract, the teachers
union at Wyoming Area School District
has implemented work to rules ac-
tion, meaning teachers do only work re-
quired by contract.
They arent going to volunteer for ac-
tivities they do not get compensated
for, said Paul Sheman-
sky, spokesman for the
Northeast Region of-
fice of the Pennsylva-
nia State Education As-
sociation. Theyve
been bargaining for al-
most two years and
want to reach a settle-
ment, and its just a
way to show they do a
lot of work where they
dont get compensat-
ed.
The move is cutting
into student extracur-
ricular activities, Su-
perintendent Ray Ber-
nardi said, noting stu-
dents will not partici-
pate in this years
Science Olympiad,
scheduled for March 7 at Penn State
Wilkes-Barre.
Bernardi predicted the action will
force the district to curb or eliminate
elementary school field trips and could
cause problems in annual spring plays
and concerts.
Shemansky said the work to rules
action began a few weeks ago, but Ber-
nardi said he believed it had begun earli-
er in the school year, and the district has
been able to work around it until now.
The contract expired in August 2010.
The school board asked the state Labor
Relations Board to appoint a fact finder,
a third party who looks at proposals
fromboth sides and offers a non-binding
deal in an effort to break an impasse.
The fact-finder report was issued last
May. Union lead negotiator John Hol-
land said the teachers voted to accept
the proposal, but the board rejected it.
Key proposals in the report:
Teachers sought a six-year contract,
the board wanted four. The report rec-
ommended four.
The district proposed a pay freeze
followed by small raises that would re-
sult in a 4.2 percent increase on average
over the life of the contract. Teachers
wanted total increases that would have
averaged from 3.56 percent to 4.10 per-
cent each year. The fact finder recom-
mended a schedule that would essen-
tially give annual raises ranging from
2.5 percent to 3.5 percent over four
years.

NANTICOKE Two months after a
woman was severely slashed in the
face and neck inside the Prospect
Street Caf, police have turned over
their investigation to the Luzerne
County District Attorneys Office.
First Assistant District Attorney
Sam Sanguedolce said Tuesday an as-
sistant district attorney has been as-
signed to the case.
Jennifer Mieczkowski, 30, was at-
tacked by someone with a box cutter
when a large fight erupted inside the
tavern in the early morning hours on
Jan. 1. Mieczkowski suffered multiple
slashes to her face and neck, nearly
cutting her carotid artery, she said.
No charges have been filed.
We have the binder and will be
reviewing the evidence and the vid-
eo, Sanguedolce said. We havent
made any prosecutorial decisions yet.
Some things raised our concerns after
initially reviewing the video, but by
no means has any decision been
made.
Police Detective Capt. Bill Shultz
said the investigation was a priority.
This is no minor case. Youre talk-
ing about a woman who suffered a
severe injury, Sanguedolce said.
Nanticoke police did a great job
chasing down leads and tying up
loose ends.
Mieczkowski refused comment
when reached Tuesday.
She and her friend, Rickey Wells,
who was assaulted in the fight, filed
separate lawsuits against the tavern.
The lawsuits were filed about two
weeks after the assault through at-
torney David Selingo.
The lawsuits allege a woman and a
man assaulted Mieczkowski.
Police questioned a majority of
more than 50 patrons who were in
the tavern when the brawl erupted.
Surveillance video recorded most
of the fight but might not have cap-
tured Mieczkowski being slashed.
The video is not clear, Sangue-
dolce said. It shows a number of
things that caused us to ask more
questions.
State police Bureau of Liquor Con-
trol Enforcement earlier this month
filed multiple citations against the
tavern alleging the business operated
in a disorderly manner on several
days in 2011, and on Jan. 1 when
Mieczkowski was assaulted.
Sanguedolce said he expects to
meet with Shultz in the near future to
discuss the case.

UNION TWP. Mem-
bers of the Shickshinny
community on Tuesday
had the opportunity to see
and give feedback on the
projects a steering commit-
tee developed for the
towns flood recovery proc-
ess over the past three
months.
The flooding that fol-
lowed Hurricane Irene and
Tropical Storm Lee last
summer devastated the
half-square mile borough
of 836 residents. But with
guidance from a team of
community organizers
from the Federal Emergen-
cy Management Agency,
the town has set several
goals.
Steering committee
member Kay Krothe-Wolfe
welcomed residents, busi-
ness owners and partners
from assisting organiza-
tions to the Northwest Ar-
ea High School and invited
them to browse a display of
project descriptions set up
on easels throughout the
cafeteria.
With input sought from
the entire community, the
committee came up with
15 projects ranging from a
housing renewal program
and building a community
center to developing the
riverfront park and recre-
ation areas, as well as
branding and marketing
the borough as a river
town.
For example, the beauti-
fication program, said resi-

A superior career services
program is a key ingredient for
our students and young alumni
to fulfill their career aspirations,
said Struthers, 56. There are
many components to a success-
ful career development office be-
yond rsum preparing; it in-
cludes internships, employer de-
velopment, career fairs and a va-
riety of career planning
workshops. Sharon and I are ded-
icated to seeing a comprehensive
Career Services Center on cam-
pus this year.
Half of the Strutherses dona-
tion will be used to construct the
center, which is estimated to cost
$1million. The school launcheda
fundraisingcampaignTuesday to
secure the additional $500,000.
The rest of the donation will be
used for other campus needs.
Were very grateful to Ric and
Sharon Struthers for their re-
markable generosity in providing
the lead gift for this project, said
Charles Davis, chancellor of
Penn State Wilkes-Barre.
Theyve shown they understand
howimportant these services are
for our students, especially now,
as our graduates are facing sucha
challenging job market.
Among the features of the pro-
posed center will be a Career In-
formation Center, three inter-
view rooms, a video interview
room and a conference room.
In addition to the regional job
and internship development spe-
cialist, two other employees will
staff the center. Afull-time career
services coordinator will serve
the immediate career-related
needs of students and alumni, in-
cluding career counseling, rsu-
m writing assistance and inter-
view preparation. A full-time ad-
ministrative assistant will also
work there.
Anthony J. Shipula II, director
of development for Penn State
Wilkes-Barre, said that todays
competitive employment envi-
ronment requires that students
have these types of services.
In addition to the $500,000 the
Strutherses provided for the ca-
reer center, they also agreed to
donate $250,000 to create the
Struthers Family Trustee Schol-
arship supporting students at
Penn State Wilkes-Barre and
$250,000 that will go into an en-
dowment annually supporting
the operational expenses of the
new Career Services Center.
The gifts come at a time when
intense scrutiny has been placed
on the Penn State system be-
cause of the sexual abuse allega-
tions against former assistant
football coach Jerry Sandusky
and the way the board of trustees
handled the fallout, including fir-
ing longtime head football coach
Joe Paterno, who died in Janu-
ary.
Struthers, who retired from
Bank of America and now serves
as an independent director to the
Dover Motorsports Inc. board of
directors, said he has been asked
about why he is givingtoa school
that has been embarrassed and at
a time when so many alumni are
upset with university leaders.
Youve got to step back and
put things in perspective, he
said. Anybody that has misgiv-
ings I just think theyre flat
wrong.
Sharon Struthers, who attend-
ed Clemson University on an ath-
letic scholarship, said she was
given tuition assistance and she
feels its important to give back
to ensure other students in need
are helped.

Penn State W-B Chancellor Charles Davis speaks about the Ca-
reer Services Center as Sharon and Richard Struthers listen.
The district wanted teachers to
pay 5 percent of health insurance pre-
miums and to increase co-payments
and deductibles. The union rejected
the idea of premiumsharing. The fact
finder recommended increased co-
pays and deductibles, but no premi-
um sharing.
Shemansky said contract negotia-
tions statewide have been slowed be-
cause of Gov. Tom Corbetts cuts in
state funding for schools. Corbett in-
sists the cuts are actually the loss of
federal stimulus money designed to
last only two years. In fact, he
launched a new website touting a 3.7
percent increase in state spending in
his proposed 2012-13 budget. She-
mansky and others contend the gov-
ernors proposed budget cuts about
$100 million, masking the cut by
changing how money is doled out.
All told, the union argues Corbett has
cut nearly $1 billion out of education
in two years.
Prior to this, some negotiations
could go rather quickly, Shemansky
said. The governors cuts have im-
pacted bargaining because districts
are taking big hits.
TEACHERS
tee member Clarence Le-
wis, involves taking what
we have and putting some
shine to it, putting effort
behind it and enthusiasm
that we can make our town
more attractive to our-
selves and also the people
passing through.
Some projects, such as
updating the land-use
planning and zoning pro-
gram, have champions
members of the communi-
ty who have agreed to
work to make the project a
reality. Other projects,
such as the beautification
program, still need cham-
pions to step forward to
help bring them to frui-
tion, Krothe-Wolfe said.
After those in attend-
ance were given time to re-
view all the plans, they
were asked to go to a com-
puter and pick the three
they felt were most urgent
and important to com-
plete.
The FEMA team will
put all of the projects into
a Long Term Community
Recovery Plan that will
give the town a path to fol-
low as well as an advan-
tage when applying for
grants. That written plan
should be complete by
early April.
Mayor Beverly Moore
said the recovery has
come along further than
she ever expected. One of
her main goals is to find
someone to open a grocery
store in the town, as the
owner of Five Mountains
Market decided not to re-
open. Shes eager to pre-
sent a proposal to anyone
interested.

NEW COLUMBUS A 130-

evening, leaving a family of four
without a place to call home.
The house at 160 Academy St.
caught fire around 6 p.m. Tues-

Matt Wolf, whowas rentingthe

dren, said he was cooking steaks

The top of it went up quick,
Wolf said. The rest of it followed
suit. Within like two minutes the
whole thing went up.
When I pulled up it was just a
big ball of flames, said Hunting-
ton Township Fire Chief Owen
Burkebile.
Burkebile said the home was

Welfare cuts anger Dems
S
tate Democratic senators are chal-
lenging Gov. Tom Corbetts top
public welfare official over the adminis-
trations moves to stop the growth of
spending despite rising demand and
health care costs.
Sen. Vincent Hughes asked Public
Welfare Secretary Gary Alexander on
Tuesday how he justifies a proposed
$275 million tax cut for businesses
while slashing benefits and reimburse-
ments for the poor and disabled.
Alexander didnt address tax cuts,
but maintains that the current safety-
net programs are unsustainable, and
Pennsylvania is getting less money
from the federal government. Alexan-
der was appearing before the Senate
Appropriations Committee.
Corbett, a Republican, is proposing a
$27.1 billion budget that would cut
businesses taxes and spending for
education and human services. The
administration is grappling with lack-
luster tax collection and rising costs for
health care and pensions.

Two pirate hostages die
A Danish warship opened fire on a
Somali pirate ship, killing two hostages
and arresting 17 suspects, according to
an announcement Tuesday by the Roy-
al Danish Navy.
There were 18 hostages on board the
pirate boat, two of whom were injured
in the gunfight Sunday night and have
since died. The nationality of the hos-
tages was not disclosed.
The doctor on the warship Absalon
failed to save the lives of the two hos-
tages hurt in the confrontation.
The navy said it was not known how
the hostages received their injuries, but
this was being investigated.
Danish authorities said there were
plans to prosecute the pirates.

The stricken liner was expected to
reach the main Seychelles island of
Mahe on Thursday, the Italian cruise
operator said.
Fire erupted Monday in the ships

reports 26-year-old Kalvin Hunt had
escaped from a veterans affairs hospital
Friday, before the crash. A spokeswo-
man for Naval Hospital Beaufort would
not say what Hunt was being treated
for, citing privacy laws.
Bob Beres, a spokesman for the
South Carolina Highway Patrol, said
Hunt had been served with a murder
warrant Tuesday.
Authorities are not sure when Hunt
took off his clothes. Police say he sped
away in the fire truck, then hit and
killed 28-year-old Justin Nicholas Mill-
er before crashing.
Hunt, who struggled with police
officers after the crash, is now hospital-
ized in Charleston.

CHARDON, Ohio The teenage
suspect in an Ohio school shooting that
killed three students and wounded two
didnt knowhis victims and chose them
randomly, a prosecutor said Tuesday.
Suspect T.J. Lane, 17, admitted firing
10 shots with a .22-caliber pistol Mon-
day morning at Chardon High School,
Geauga County prosecutor David Joyce
said at a juvenile court hearing.
The hearing came hours after the
death toll rose to three, and as school-
mates and townspeople grappled with
the tragedy and wondered what could
have set the gunman off.
Lanes face twitched lightly while the
prosecutor recountedthe attack, andhe
sniffled and half-closed his eyes as he
walked out of the room with deputies.
Lanes custodial grandfather and two
aunts joined him in court; the women
reached over and lightly embraced the
grandfather as the hearing began.
Judge Timothy Grendell ordered the
boy, who is considered a juvenile, held
for at least the next 15 days. Prosecutors
have until Thursday to charge him.
The judge imposed a gag order on op-
posing attorneys at the prosecutors re-
quest and told the media not to photo-
graph the boys face in court. He is a ju-
venile.
Shaken residents offered condolenc-
es and prayers to the families of those
killed and wounded at 1,100-student
Chardon High School in suburban Cle-
veland. All three of the dead were stu-
dents, as are the two people wounded.
The community offered grief coun-
seling to students, staff and others at ar-
ea schools.
A Cleveland hospital said Demetrius
Hewlin, who had been in critical condi-
tion, died Tuesday morning. The news
came shortly after Police Chief Tim
McKenna said 17-year-old Russell King
Jr. had died.
Another student, Daniel Parmertor,
died hours after the shooting, which
sent students screaming through the
halls andledteachers tolockdowntheir
classrooms as they had practiced doing
so many times during drills.
Both King and Parmertor were stu-
dents at the AuburnCareer Center, a vo-
cational school, and were waiting in the
Chardon High cafeteria for a bus for
their daily 15-minute ride when they
were shot.
Lane did not go to Chardon High, in-
stead attending nearby Lake Academy,
which is for students with academic or
behavioral problems. Student Nate
Mueller said Lane would wait at the
school to take a bus to Lake Academy.

BEIRUT Syrian rebels spir-
ited a British photographer who
had been trapped in the opposi-
tion stronghold of Homs out of
the country Tuesday after he was
trapped for days under fierce
government shelling that killed
13 of those trying to save him, an
activist group said.
The global activist group
Avaaz said it helped smuggle
British photographer Paul Con-
roy across the border into neigh-
boring Lebanon.
French President Nicolas Sar-
kozy, meanwhile, retracted his
statement that French journalist
Edith Bouvier also had been
safely evacuated to Lebanon.
He said Tuesday that he had
been impre-
cise earlier in
the day due to
the complexi-
ties of the situa-
tion and that It
is not con-
firmed that
Madame Bou-
vier is today
safe in Leba-
non.
The two
were injured
last week in a
government rocket attack on the
rebel-controlled neighborhood
of Baba Amr in central Homs.
Two other Western journalists,
American Marie Colvin and
French photographer Remi
Ochlik, were killed in the same
attack.
Hundreds have been killed in
Homs, a stronghold for govern-
ment opponents waging an up-
rising against President Bashar
Assads authoritarian rule, in
more than three weeks of relent-
less shelling.
A top U.N. official released a
new death toll for the 11-month-
old uprising, saying well over
7,500 people have been killed
and the conflict looked increas-
ingly like civil war. Activist
groups said Monday that the
death toll had surpassed 8,000.
Meanwhile, the U.N. human
rights chief said the situation in
Syria has deteriorated rapidly in
recent weeks and demanded an
immediate humanitarian cease-
fire.
The United States criticized
Syrias envoy for storming out of
an emergency U.N. meeting
about the crisis in his country
Tuesday, saying the walkout and
a fiery speech that preceded it
demonstrated the delusional
nature of President Bashar As-
sads regime.

WASHINGTON The Pentagon re-
vealedonTuesday that some partial, incin-
erated remains of 9/11 victims that could
not be identified were sent to a landfill.
The number of victims involved was un-
clear, but the report said the remains were
from people killed when a terrorist-hi-
jackedairliner struck the Pentagonandan-
other crashed in Shanksville, Pa..
There was no indication that remains
fromthe attack on the World Trade Center
in NewYork were involved.
The report was by an independent com-
mittee that examined practices at the mil-
itarys mortuary at Dover, Del., the first
stopping point for fallen troops coming
home from war overseas. The panel was
formed after an investigation revealed
gross mismanagement at the Dover facil-
ity andfoundthat body parts hadbeenlost
on two occasions. After that investigation,
news reports revealedthat somecremated
partial remains of at least 274 American
war dead were dumped in a Virginia land-
fill until apolicychangehaltedthepractice
in 2008.
Tuesdays report was explaining the old
policy, which, it said, began shortly after
Sept. 11, 2001, when several portions of re-
mains from the Pentagon attack and the
Shanksville, Pa., crash site could not be
tested or identified.
The partial remains were cremated,
then given to a biomedical waste disposal
contractor whoput theremainsincontain-
ers and incinerated those. The residual
matter was then taken to a landfill, the re-
port said.
We dont think it should have hap-
pened, the committee chairman, retired
Gen. John Abizaid, said.
It was unclear whether families of the 9/
11victims were aware remains had gone to
contractors and then to the landfill. In the
case of the war dead, officials previously
saidremainsweregiventocontractorsonly
in cases in which families had already bur-
ied their loved ones and had told the mil-
itarytheydidnot want tobetoldif morere-
mains were later found.

DALLAS, Texas The
owner of a Texas medical ser-
vice provider was among sev-
en people indicted in a mas-
sive health care fraud scheme
that allegedly bilkedMedicare
and Medicaid of nearly $375
million, authorities an-
nounced Tuesday.
The federal indictment ac-
cused Jacques Roy, a doctor
who owned Medistat Group
Associates in DeSoto, Texas,
of leading a scheme that billed
Medicare for home health ser-
vices that were not medically
necessary or were not done.
Alsoindictedwere Roys office
manager as well as the owners
of threehomehealthagencies.
Afederal indictment unsealed
Tuesday accuses the agencies
of using Roy to rack up mil-
lions of dollars in false claims.
The indictment allegedthat
from January 2006 through
November 2011, Roy or others
certified11,000 Medicare ben-
eficiaries for more than 500
home health services more
patients than any other med-
ical practice in the U.S.
Investigators for the U.S.
Health and Human Services
department noticed irregular-
ities with Roys practice about
one year ago, officials said.
Roy hadrecruiters finding
people to bill for home health
services, said U.S. Attorney
Sarah Saldana, the top federal
prosecutor in Dallas. Some of
those alleged patients, when
approached by investigators,
were found working on their
cars and clearly not in need of
home healthcare, she said.
Medicare patients qualify
for home health care if they
are confined to their homes
and need care there, accord-
ing to a federal indictment.

Americans need to focus
on nations real problems
T
here never were death panels. Presi-
dent Obama was not born in Kenya. We
do not have a Muslim president. There
is no war being waged on religious free-
dom in the United States.
These are all conveniently and artificial-
ly fabricated arguments, designed to di-
vide and distract us from the real problems
and issues that face our nation.
So, when arguing politics with your
friends, remember that we live in an age
when money is speech and corporations
are people, too.
And just for the heck of it, right when
the discussion is getting interesting, turn
to your friend and ask this: When did you
stop beating your spouse and abusing your
dog?
Get it? Its just not productive. It doesnt
work on any level.
When politicians invoke God at the end
of their speeches to bless our country, they
are right, because we certainly cant place
our faith in them.

Bring back programs

D
o you think, President Obama, that
youre the man who will get this coun-
try back on its feet by giving money
away for unemployment benefits again and
again?
Thats great, but you are starting to
create a larger welfare state by enabling
people to sit back and collect money with-
out working. Most people want to work.
Youre smarter than that, so lets get mov-
ing here.
Our infrastructure is falling apart. This
is not something new; its only history
repeating itself. We are in a depression
when you see large-scale unemployment,
people losing their homes and waiting in
lines for boxes of food for their families to
survive. President Franklin D. Roosevelt,
determined to bring back the pride of the
American worker, created programs for
each individual to feel better about earning
a living. The answer is not welfare; its
work for a paycheck.
Bring back our Civilian Conservation
Corps and other programs, and allow our
unemployed to rebuild our country the
way it was accomplished in the 1930s.
Mr. President, I know you are an in-
telligent person and God allowed you to be
where you are for a reason. So lets get er
done, and I then will vote for you for a
second term.

AMERICAN MOTORISTS
drove almost 3 trillion miles
in 2011. Thats like driving
from the Earth to the sun
and back 13,500 times.
The average American
family drives 22,500 miles a
year going to work, to the store, to visit
friends and relatives, or to go on vacation.
Sadly, more and more of those trips are made
on roads and bridges that are disintegrating.
Nationwide, almost one out of every five
miles of our major highways is in poor or
mediocre condition, and nearly one out of
every four bridges is structurally deficient or
functionally obsolete.
On an average day in the United States,
almost 283 million vehicles cross a structur-
ally deficient bridge. Thats how serious our
nations infrastructure problems are.
Its also why the American Energy & In-
frastructure Jobs Act (H.R. 7) is critical for
our nations safety and economic health.
H.R. 7 commits the United States to a
five-year, $260 billion program to rebuild and
restore our highways and bridges. It reforms
transportation programs, removes barriers to
domestic energy production and strengthens
our economy. It invests in our national in-
frastructure without raising taxes or borrow-
ing more debt. It provides the stability of a
long-term plan so states can undertake major
projects.
Most important, the American Energy &
Infrastructure Jobs Act will put people back
to work. People in Northeastern Pennsylva-
nia and around the nation are in desperate
need of work, and our infrastructure is in
desperate need of updating. H.R. 7 links the
two, and it will give construction companies
stability so they can hire more employees
and buy more equipment.
This act is, quite simply, the largest trans-
portation reform bill since the creation of the
Interstate Highway System in 1956.
Before my life in public service, my wife
and I established the sixth-largest line-paint-
ing business in the nation. My family spent
decades in the road construction business. I
can tell you there are huge hurdles to leap
when you want to fix or improve our in-
frastructure.
Thats what makes this bill so remarkable.
H.R. 7 gives more power to state govern-
ments to set their own infrastructure pri-
orities. The bill consolidates or eliminates 70
duplicative programs, reducing wasteful
overspending. It streamlines the process by
allowing multiple federal agencies to conduct
simultaneous reviews of a transportation
project. It sets hard deadlines for those agen-
cies to approve projects.
We need to make our roads and bridges
safer. Included in the original bill was a provi-
sion to allow increased truck weights and
lengths. Trucks longer than a Boeing 737 and
weighing 50 tons would have been allowed
on our highways.
As a former mayor, I know local roads are
not built to support heavier trucks. Local
roads would become potholed, buckled and
broken much more quickly. They would need
to be repaired and replaced sooner, and the
cost for that would fall squarely on local
taxpayers.
Additionally, larger and heavier trucks are
involved in a higher percentage of fatal traffic
accidents.
Thats why I introduced an amendment to
maintain current truck size and weight limits
while conducting a three-year study of the
potential local and state costs such an in-
crease might bring. Im pleased to say my
amendment passed the committee with
bipartisan support.
Now, the final bill heads to the full House,
and I strongly support its passage.
The American Energy & Infrastructure
Jobs Act will create jobs and fix or replace
some of our worst roads and bridges.
It puts the United States on the road to
restoring our economy and our infrastruc-
ture.

COMMENTARY

B
EING THE nations
third-largest egg pro-
ducer means Pennsyl-
vania should pay close
attention to a proposal in Con-
gress to improve the living con-
ditions of egg-laying chickens.
The state, though, has not
yet joinedthemovement toban
so-called battery cages, which
canhouse as many as11hens in
a space little bigger than a mi-
crowave oven. Thats an image
that should spoil your break-
fast.
Ohio, Michigan and Califor-
nia, where voters in a 2008 ref-
erendum mandated hens have
enough room to stretch their
wings, have banned new bat-
tery cages. The Humane Socie-
ty of the United States and the
United Egg Producers trade
group also are pushing for
more humane standards.
The congressional legisla-
tion that has resulted from this
unusual alliance shows a good
balance between real-world
egg-production practices and
the idealistic goal of free-range
chicken farming. It calls for re-
placingconventional cages, but
onlyover a lengthyphase-inpe-
riod stretching out 15-18 years,
and with financial protections
that allow farmers to fully de-
preciate existing equipment.
For reasons that reportedly
stemfromantiregulatory fears,
pork- and beef-industry trade
groups have joined a farmers
trade association (that also
happens to pooh-pooh climate
change) in opposing the mea-
sure.
Congress, though, has a
clear mandate to act from the
farmers who know best how
they want their eggs done.

UCKILY FOR THE na-
tions power brokers, all
those people whose
jobs evaporated as a re-
sult of the 2007-09 recession
have been able to file for and re-
ceive benefits without lining up
outside an unemployment of-
fice.
If not, the national shame
would be exposed daily, stretch-
ing for city blocks, clogging the
sidewalks avisual testimonyto
Wall Streets unfettered greed
and lax government oversight.
TV cameras would
capture the forlorn
faces. Newspaper re-
porters and documen-
tarians would de-
scend on the masses,
perhaps spurring em-
barrassed elected
leaders to respond
moreforcefullyandef-
fectively.
More likely, those millions of
men and women deprived of
their livelihoods, most often
through no fault of their own,
would recognize they were not
alone in their predicaments and
begin to demand swift action.
They might organize and rally.
Riot even.
Instead, too many of todays
unemployed workers wrestle
with desperation, isolation and
guilt. A 60 Minutes segment
that aired Sunday, titled
Trapped in Unemployment,
spotlighted the plight of people
severed for extended periods
fromtheworkforce. Correspond-
ent Scott Pelley introduced the
segment, saying: Never in the
last 60 years has the length of
joblessness been this long. Four
million people, a full third of the
unemployed, have been out of
work more than a year.
Its easy to ignore them. They
have no platform, no voice. In
the Wyoming Valley, their trou-
bles are not apparent on the
street, only within the relatively
private confines of free health
clinics, clothes distribution cen-
ters and food banks. For them,
the Great Recession isnt over.
Yes, the worst damage ap-
pears to be behind
us, and area resi-
dents do them-
selves and the
community a dis-
service if they ig-
nore signs that the
U.S. economic re-
covery inches
along. (See Mon-
days editorial Have no doubt;
its getting better.)
However, neither should any
of us be too quick to dismiss the
long-termfinancial andemotion-
al devastation with which many
people still grapple and might
never escape. Savings accounts
drained. Beloved homes fore-
closed. Careers ruined. Families
uprooted. Nerves frayed. Retire-
ments deferred. Dreams dashed.
There can never be a full ac-
counting of the damage. But
imagine how rapidly this nation
might be changed for the better
if, rather than conceal their frus-
trations, thevictims of Americas
brutal recession decided to bare
their scars. And received more
than Band-Aids.

out of work, and he questioned
why employees must be penal-
ized.
Youre playing with peoples
lives, he said. Worry about
us.
Pribula presented
the first state of the
county report required
by home rule 60 days
after the close of the
fiscal year.
He said he inherited
the most ridiculous
budget Id ever seen
when he started as
county budget/finance
chief in 2008. The
$146.9 million spend-
ing plan contained $33.9 million
in unrealistic revenue and un-
budgeted prior-year bills.
The county has been perpetu-
ating such revenue deficien-
cies, including dependence on
one-time fixes, for years, he said.
Revenue deficiencies de-
creased to $29.5 million in 2009
and $9.1 million in 2010, but
jumped up to $11.5 million last
year, he said.
In comparison, this years
$122.6 million budget contains
$3.2 million in revenue deficien-
cies because it taps special court
funding and the capital funding
that wont be available next
year, he said.
The county ended the last
two years with shortfalls -- $1.78
million in 2010 and $2.1 million
in 2011, he said.
Urging Lawton and council to
learn from the coun-
tys past mistakes,
Pribula recalled how
the county was
forced to go to court
in 2008 to seek ap-
proval to take out a
special loan to pay
its bills.
He pointed to citi-
zen audience mem-
bers Ed Chesnovitch
and Controller Wal-
ter Griffith, saying they acted as
attorneys representing the coun-
ty and convinced the judge to
allow only $5 million in borrow-
ing instead of $15 million.
Maybe you shouldve stayed
attorneys. You could have dou-
ble-billed the county, Pribula
said, adding, Sorry. That just
slipped.
He was referring to a recent
Times Leader investigation that
uncovered double billing by a
Kingston attorney. Several tax-
payers expressed outrage Tues-
day over the newspapers find-
ings and the countys failure to
detect the overbilling.
Pribula said he will assist
Lawton in the transition today
but said he is unsure of the sta-
tus of his employment beyond
that. He had applied for a coun-
ty budget/finance division head
position under home rule.
Hopefully, we set a founda-
tion that we can move forward,
Pribula said. Ive enjoyed every
minute.
Council members presented a
surprise proclamation thanking
Pribula for filling the temporary
post, and many council mem-
bers and citizens gave him a
standing ovation.
Council members have not de-
cided the fate of the Hotel Ster-
ling project, they said.
The prior administration had
allocated $1 million in commu-
nity development funds to de-
molish the landmark structure,
with the idea the county would
then take possession of the site
in an attempt to recoup some of
the $6 million its owed by the
nonprofit owner, CityVest.
An agreement with CityVest
and Wilkes-Barre required to
proceed with demolition design
has stalled, in part because
Wilkes-Barre wont forgive an es-
timated $50,000 in demolition
permit fees. The city con-
demned the property and might
end up footing the bill for demo-
lition if the county doesnt get
involved, because CityVest is
out of funds.
Several property owners
urged council Tuesday to walk
away. Councilwoman Linda
McClosky Houck said she
doesnt believe theres a firm
council majority that agrees the
county should take over the pro-
ject.
Chesnovitch, of Jackson
Township, told council to move
on and give up on suggestions
to mothball or appraise the site.
Dont spend another nickel
on that place, he said. Wash
your hands of it.

Luzerne County resident Bill James introduces himself to Robert Lawton before the Luzerne Coun-
ty Council meeting Tuesday evening. Lawton takes over as county manager today.
Pribula presented
the first state
of the county
report required
by home rule 60
days after the
close of the fis-
cal year.
in Ohio, one of the Super Tuesday
states, when the verdict came in from
Michigan.
A month ago they didnt know who
we are, but they do now, he told
cheering supporters, vowing to stay
the conservative course he has set.
In Michigan, 30 delegates were ap-
portioned according to the popular
vote. Two were set aside for the win-
ner of each of the states 14 congres-
sional districts. The remaining two del-
egates were likely to be divided be-
tween the top finishers in the state-
wide vote.
With his victory in Arizona, Romney
had 152 delegates, according to The
APs count, compared to 72 for Santo-
rum, 32 for Gingrich and 19 for Paul. It
takes 1,144 to win the nomination at
the Republican National Convention in
Tampa next summer.
In interviews as they left their poll-
ing places, Michigan voters expressed
a notable lack of enthusiasm about
their choices. Just 45 percent said they
strongly favored the candidate they
voted for, while 38 percent expressed
reservations and 15 percent said they
made the choice they did because they
disliked the alternatives.
The lengthening GOP nomination
struggle has coincided with a rise in
Democratic President Barack Obamas
prospects for a new term. A survey
released during the day showed con-
sumer confidence at the highest level
in a year, and other polls show an
increase in Americans saying they be-
lieve the country is on the right track.
Along with the improving economy,
the long and increasingly harsh cam-
paign, in which Gingrich and Santo-
rum have challenged Romney as in-
sufficiently conservative, has prompted
some officials to express concern
about the partys chances of defeating
Obama in the fall.
Exit polling showed a plurality of
Republican voters in both Michigan
and Arizona saying the most impor-
tant factor to them in the primaries
was that a candidate be able to beat
Obama in November. Romney won
that group in Michigan, where it mat-
tered most, and also prevailed among
voters in the state who said experience
was the quality that mattered most.
Santorum ran particularly well
among voters who cited a desire for
strong conservatism or strong moral
character.
Not even the opening of polls on
Tuesday brought an end to the squab-
bling between the two leading Repub-
licans.
Romney accused Santorum of trying
to hijack a victory in Michigan by
courting Democratic votes through au-
tomated telephone calls and suggested
his rival was appealing to conserva-
tives by making the kind of incendi-
ary statements he would not.
Im not willing to light my hair on
fire to try and get support, Romney
said. I am what I am.
Santorum brushed aside the allega-
tions of hijacking, saying Romney had
appealed for support from independ-
ents in earlier states.
Were going to get voters that we
need to be able to win this election.
And were going to do that here in
Michigan today, Santorum said, re-
ferring to blue collar voters with a
history of swinging between the par-
ties.
The exit poll said about 10 percent
of the days Michigan primary voters
were Democrats.
If nothing else, the unexpected clash
on Romneys home field dramatized
that two months into the campaign
season after nearly a dozen primar-
ies and caucuses the GOP race to
pick an opponent for President Barack
Obama remains unpredictable.
Michigan loomed as a key test for
Romney as he struggled to reclaim his
early standing as front-runner in the
race. The first of the industrial bat-
tleground states to vote in the nomi-
nating campaign, it is also the place
where the former Massachusetts gov-
ernor was born and where he won a
primary when he first ran for the party
nomination four years ago.
But Santorum, a former Pennsylva-
nia senator, rolled into the state on the
strength of surprising victories on Feb.
7 in caucuses in Minnesota and Col-
orado plus a non-binding primary in
Missouri. He quickly sought to stitch
together the same coalition of conser-
vatives and tea party activists that car-
ried him to a narrow victory in the
Iowa caucuses that opened the cam-
paign nearly two months ago.
The Michigan primary was open to
Republicans or any voter who declared
they were Republican for the purpose
of voting, and there was precedent for
an influx of outsiders influencing the
outcome.

The fund has come under scrutiny in
light of a Times Leader investigation
that revealed another attorney, Angela
Stevens of Kingston, had repeatedly
double billed the county for delivering
fee petitions to the county courthouse.
The county on Tuesday placed an ad
seeking proposals for a forensic audit of
the account.
Brown and Stevens were among18 at-
torneys who were paid $55 per hour to
represent parents. Luzerne County
Judge Tina Polachek Gartley has ac-
knowledged she did not review invoices
submitted by Stevens or any of the other
attorneys before signing court orders ap-
proving the payments.
The bills submitted Monday by
Brown, which totaled $39,080, had pre-
viously been approved for payment by
Polachek Gartley.
Griffith said, given the recent revela-
tions of lack of oversight, he believes
any new invoices should be given to the
courts to review before they are ap-
proved for payment by county manager
Robert Lawton, who begins work today.
Brown said she has no qualms about
her invoices being reviewed. She said
she spoke to Griffith on Tuesday and an-
swered questions he had regarding spe-
cific entries, including the transporta-
tion charges.
That fee, which was .4 hours, or $22,
covered the time she spent traveling
from her office on Carey Avenue to the
courthouse. Brown said she charged the
fee only in cases where she traveled to
the court for a hearing, not for delivery
of her fee petitions, as Stevens had done.
She also charged the fee only once to
cover all hearings she had during a day.
As for the delay in submitting the
bills, Brown said in some cases it was
caused by technical corrections and re-
dactions she had to make to the bills so
that her clients names did not appear.
The reason they were so late is they
probably sat on my desk, waiting to get
redacted, she said. I was trying to get
the bills done, but a lot of us fell behind
in billing.
Brown said there was also confusion
regarding whether the bills would get
paid, given that the fund, which began
the year with $125,000, ran out of mon-
ey halfway through 2011.
We were told early on there was no
money in the budget. Once I was told
there was no money, there was no need
to hurry up and do the bills if there was
no money to pay us, she said.
Griffith said he was satisfied with
Browns explanations, but continues to
have concerns about how other leftover
bills from 2011 will be handled.
Under home rule, Griffith no longer
reviews or approves bills for payment.
That decision is left to the county man-
ager, who forwards the bills to the fi-
nance department.
Griffith said he emailed Lawton on
Tuesday to strongly recommend that he
not approve any payments fromthe spe-
cial legal services fund until the invoices
are reviewed, but has no power to en-
sure that will happen.
Theres also an issue of finding money
to pay the invoices given the fund went
over budget by more than $200,000 last
year.
Interim County Manager Tom Pribu-
la, whose last day was Tuesday, said he
will discuss the matter with Lawton to-
day. Pribula said he believes the attor-
ney bills must be paid one way or anoth-
er.
If they are legitimate expenses and
they are accurate, ultimately they have
to be paid, Pribula said.
BILLS
In the coming weeks Ill be
keeping the pressure up on the
Army Corps to get this work
done soon, Casey said.
Casey said hes taking noth-
ing for granted and will be mon-
itoring the project closely to
make sure its going forward
quickly.
Augsburger said the damage
varied along the length of the
system. Some included debris
obstruction in culverts, damage
to outfall pipes, and damage
near and around the floodwall.
The Plymouth segment
from the Carey Avenue Bridge
to Flat Road will address dam-
ages fromTropical StormLee as
well as damages that occurred
from flash flooding on July 3.
Augsburger said the Project In-
formation Report has been ap-
proved, and on Feb. 24, the Bal-
timore District received all
funds needed to complete de-
sign and construction of the re-
pairs.
TheWilkes-Barre/Hanover
Township segment from the
Luzerne County Courthouse to
Solomon Creek will be ready
comfortable with the system
now, but repairs need to be
made as soon as possible.
It wont get any better than
that, Brozena said of the time-
line. But its March already and
we need to get the system back
to pre-event condition.
Augsburger said the cost of
therepairs wont beknownuntil
the design and engineering
studies are complete.
Cost estimates are devel-
oped as part of the engineering
and design process, which is
currently under way, Augs-
burger said. The project will be

Jim Brozena
Executive director of the Luzerne

and their ability to opt-out of
agreement if they disagree with
its terms.
Caputo said he will consider
the fairness and reasonableness
of the settlement at the final hear-
ing in September, as well as the
amount of fees that will be paidto
the plaintiffs lawyers, who could
receive as much as $5.3 million.
Mericle agreed in December to
pay $17.75 million to resolve a se-
ries of class action suits filed
against him for his role in the ju-
venile justice scandal that led to
the convictions of former judges
Michael Conahan and Mark Cia-
varella on corruption charges.
The allegations in each suit
varied but were based on the gen-
eral premise that judges conspir-
ed with others to improperly in-
carcerate juveniles at two juve-
nile detention centers built by
Mericle.
The settlement impacts all ju-
veniles who appeared before Cia-
varella, the countys former juve-
nile court judge, fromJan. 1, 2003
to May 28, 2008, regardless if
they are a named plaintiff in the
suit.
The agreement resolves only
claims that were filed against
Mericle. Claims against other de-
fendants, including the ex-judges
and Robert Powell, the one-time
co-owner of the centers, contin-
ue.
Affected juveniles will receive
between $500 to $5,000, depend-
ent upon whether they were in-
carceratedandother factors relat-
ingtotheir specific cases. Parents
will alsobe able torecover money
they paid toward their childs in-
carceration.
Under the order approved
Tuesday, all seeking compensa-
tionwill be requiredtofile a proof
of claim by May 13. Class mem-
bers who fail to file the claimwill
be forever barred from receiving
any money from the settlement.
Those wishing to opt-out of the
settlement must also do so by
May 13. They will be required to
take part in non-binding media-
tionwithMericle that will be con-
ducted by attorney Richard G.
Fine of Scranton.
The amount each person who
agrees to the settlement will be
paid will be decided by a claims
committee, which will evaluate
eachcase. Appeals of the commit-
tees determinations will be han-
dled by retired Judge Marina Co-
rodemus, Caputo said in the or-
der.
The order does not indicate in
which court Corodemus previ-
ously presided.
The order also states that any
class member who wishes to re-
main in the settlement, but to ob-
ject its terms, must do so by writ-
ing to the claims committee no
later than May 12.

Under the order approved Tues-
day, all seeking compensation

WASHINGTON President Ba-
rack Obama delivered a rousing
speech Tuesday to UAW members, re-
minding them and perhaps Michi-
gan voters of the $80 billion rescue
of General Motors and Chrysler that
may have saved the industry.
I placed my bet on American work-
ers, he said in an ad-
vance copy of his
speech. I know our
bet was a good one
because Ive seen the
payoff first hand.
Obama, without
mentioning anyone
by name, noted Re-
publican candidate
Mitt Romneys co-
lumn in the New York Times in No-
vember 2008 headlined Let Detroit
Go Bankrupt. Obama pointedly said
that while some including Romney
suggested private financing and a
managedbankruptcy couldhave saved
the companies, there was no such fi-
nancing available and everyone knows
it. As to Republican claims that the
Democrat-friendly UAW was saved
from deep cuts (unlike bondholders),
Obama simply rejected that argument.
Even by the standards of this town,
thats a load of you-know-what, Oba-
ma said.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
Want to capture the nations at-
tention? Try a giant fireball.
It certainly worked for NAS-
CAR, which salvaged its mar-
quee event despite the first ever
rainout in 54 runnings of The
Great American Race.
The first primetime Daytona
500 in NASCAR history was a
win for Fox its highest-rated
Monday night audience since
Game 5 of the 2010 World Series
with 36.5 million viewers, up
22 percent from 30 million last
year.
And NASCAR surprisingly
continued its momentum from
last season, partly because of the
freak crash in which Juan Pablo
Montoyas car hit a truck loaded
with jet fuel, injuring no one but
scorching the track and forcing a
two-hour delay.
If there was any doubt NAS-
CAR successfully reached a
mainstream audience, sports
talk radio personality Jim Rome
dispelled it Tuesday afternoon
when he said the race was more
entertaining than any Monday
night NFL game last season.
Rome was particularly fasci-
nated by track workers using
laundry detergent to clean up
the fuel fire.
Dudes needed to hit that
track with some Tide, make it
smell April-fresh, Rome said on
air. Were talking NASCAR, like
it or not.
Things certainly didnt seem

Former Meyers star Raghib
Rocket Ismail is one of 76
players and eight coaches that
have been nominated for the
2012 College Football Hall of
Fame induction class.
The FBS Hall of Fame Class
will be announced live in New
York City during a noon press
conference on May 15 and in-
ducted at the 55th NFF An-
nual Awards Dinner on Dec. 4
at the landmark Waldorf-Asto-
ria Hotel in New York City.
Ismail starred at Notred
Dame from 1988 through 1990
as a kick returner and reciev-
er.
He helped the Fighting Irish
to the 1988 National Cham-
pionship and finished second
in the ballot-
ing for the
Heisman Tro-
phy in his ju-
nior season.
Ismail near-
ly lead the
Irish to a sec-
ond national
title in 1990. But Ismails po-
tential game-winning punt re-
turn for a touchdown in the
Orange Bowl was called back
because of a penalty.
Also nominated are a pair of
players from Joe Paternos last
national championship.
Running back D.J. Dozier
and offensive lineman Steve
Wisniewski were both key
members of Paternos unde-
feated 1986 team.

YATESVILLE Hazleton Areas Alyssa
Sitch poked the ball into the air, away from
Abington Heights Tiffany ODonnell.
Sitch raced to the ball and was ready to
dribble away free toward the Comets basket.
But an official blew his whistle and called
Sitchfor a foul. Acall whicheffectivelystalled
a 7-0 run during what could have been an
amazing comeback from a 17-point fourth-
quarter deficit.
Instead, Abington Heights regrouped and
held on for a 46-35 victory in the District 2
Class 4A girls basketball semifinals.
Shes quick, Hazleton
Area coach Joe Gavio said of
Sitch. If she gets that, shes
gone for a layup and I still
have three timeouts left. We
get that baby and were right
there. That was big.
The Comets (21-4) led
throughout, with the lead
hovering between 5-10
points until late inthe first half. AnODonnell
three-pointer gave Abington Heights a 24-16
lead as the half wound down. Melanie Coles
(10 rebounds) made a layup withfive seconds
left, then ODonnell (12 points, six steals)
stole a pass and beat the buzzer to make is a
28-16 deficit for Hazleton Area (9-15) at the
half.
Right before the half, that was a bigthing,
Gavio said. We let the girl break us down,
thenwe threwthe ball right toanother Abing-
ton Heights girl and were down12 instead of
eight.
The Comets lead stretched to 38-21 a min-
ute into the fourth quarter when the Cougars
finally turned the tide. Annie Bono hit a three
fromthe topof the key andJosie Bachman(11
points, eight rebounds) took a carom coast-
to-coast for a layup. Keanna Schoennagles

YATESVILLE Crestwood just hap-
pened to be the team where J.C. Show
was finally able to feel like his old self.
Show, whose name rhymes with
how, put on quite a show Tuesday
night. The sophomore standout
scored a game-high19 points as Abing-
tonHeights endedCrestwoods season
with a 49-38 victory in a District 2
Class 3A boys basketball semifinal
game.
The victory put Abington (21-5) in
the title game for the first time since
the 2009-10 season, when it won the ti-
tle. It will play Scranton Prep (18-6), a
59-47 winner over
Dallas, onFriday with
bothteams advancing
to the state tourna-
ment.
The losses by
Crestwood (14-11)
and Dallas means
that no Wyoming Valley Conference
teamwill play in the D2-3Achampion-
ship game for the first time since the
2001-02 season.
Realistically, I thought we did a
nice job helping and rotating on him,
Crestwood coach Mark Atherton said.
But he got some shots off, found a lit-
tlespaceandmadesomenicepasses to
the big guys underneath.
Aside from a cameo appearance last
Friday against Tunkhannock, Show
hadnt played recently. An illness that
Abington coach Ken Bianchi said was
bouncing around the players had side-
lined the teams leading scorer.
Ive had a couple different sickness-
es and was out for a couple games,
Showsaid. Boy, it really puts things in
perspective. When you miss a couple
games and you get to come back and
play, you really appreciate playing
more.
Shows nine-point secondquarter al-
lowed Abington to grab the lead from
Crestwood and keep it for good. His
outside jumper to start the third in-
creased the advantage to 24-17.
Crestwood moved within 26-22 on
John Fazzinis three-pointer from the
right wing at 4:37 of the third. Fazzini
and his teammates, though, couldnt
get any closer as Abington built its
lead to double digits at the start of the
fourth.

seemed to pop up at the right time did
so again. Jason Bamford led Abing-

DODGERS
Mattingly: Dodgers are still
the team in Los Angeles
GLENDALE, Ariz. Don Mattingly
made one thing clear before his teams
first full-squad spring training workout:
The Dodgers still reign in L.A.
Drawing on his time in New York
where the Yankees ruled and the Mets
always took a back seat Mattingly
isnt concerned with making compari-
sons to the neighboring Angels and
their impressive winter landing of free
agent slugger Albert Pujols. Mattingly
said, Were the Dodgers, its not going
to change.
Los Angeles general manager Ned
Colletti said Tuesday he is eager for the
financially troubled franchises sale to
go through this spring and noted, at
this stage, it will be good to get anoth-
er chapter going.
Mattingly and Colletti addressed the
team at Camelback Ranch, where Tom-
my Lasorda was taxied to the field by
golf cart and signed autographs.
RAYS
Owner excited about year
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. Stuart
Sternberg doesnt want to place unreal-
istic expectations on his cost-conscious
Tampa Bay Rays.
Even after an offseason in which he
approved spending that boosted one of
baseballs lowest payrolls by more than
50 percent, the owner is reluctant to
say hed be disappointed if the club
does anything less than win enough
games to make the playoffs for the
fourth time in five years.
That speaks more to how difficult it
is to keep pace with teams that have
deeper wallets than what Sternberg
feels the Rays are capable of accom-
plishing after bolstering the offense
with the addition of free agents Luke
Scott and Carlos Pena, and adding
veteran relievers Burke Badenhop and
Fernando Rodney.
TIGERS
Jackson tweaking swing
LAKELAND, Fla. Detroit Tigers
outfielder Austin Jackson is making a
change in his swing.
Jackson says he is forcing himself to
keep his front leg down after 181 strike-
outs last season as a leadoff hitter. He
came to camp early to work on his new
swing and hes getting positive reviews.
Manager Jim Leyland says he is happy
to see the change.
ANGELS
El Hombre on way out
TEMPE, Ariz. The Angels will
phase out use of the phrase El
Hombre in marketing campaigns
involving superstar slugger Albert
Pujols.
Angels Vice President of Communi-
cations Tim Mead said Tuesday that
billboards using Pujols and El
Hombre would remain up in parts of
Southern California until early April.
But Mead said the franchise is aware
of how Pujols feels about the phrase
and will respect his wishes that it not
be used further.
Pujols told reporters early in training
camp that he was not in favor of being
referred to as El Hombre as he felt it
undermined the respect St. Louis base-
ball fans have for former Cardinals
great Stan Musial, whose nickname
was The Man.
ASTROS
Myers picked as closer
KISSIMMEE, Fla. Brett Myers,
Houstons starting pitcher on opening
day last season, will be the Astros
closer this year.
Manager Brad Mills announced the
move Tuesday. The 31-year-old right-
hander started 34 games last season,
including the season-opener at Phila-
delphia, and went 7-14 with a 4.46
ERA.
Mark Melancon, who replaced the
injured Brandon Lyon as the Astros
closer last year, was traded to Boston
in December. Lyon is in camp, coming
off major arm surgery.

Some father-daughter bonding
Philadelphia Phillies infielder Ty Wig-
ginton plays with his daughter, Laila,
3, at spring training in Clearwater, Fla.,
on Tuesday.
TAMPA, Fla. Nowtwo spots in the
NewYork Yankees rotation are secure.
Manager Joe Girardi indicated Tues-
daythat right-hander Hiroki Kurodawill
join opening-day starter CC Sabathia in
the five-man unit.
Wevegot sixguysforfivespots... and
youreallycanlookat it as, youvegot CC
and youve got Kuroda, Girardi said.
So, youve got four guys for three
spots.
Michael Pineda, Ivan Nova, Phil
HughesandFreddyGarciaarealsointhe
mixalthoughGarciaandHughesappear
to be competing for the final job.
Sometimes the five that you leave
with arent the five that you end up
with, Girardi said. Weve got time, and
theres no rush. Youre going to go with
what you feel are your five guys.
Kuroda agreed to a $10 million, one-
year contract last month. The 37-year-
old was 13-16 with a 3.07 ERA for the
Dodgers last year and 41-46 with a 3.45
ERAinfour seasons inLos Angeles after
a long career in Japan.
You signed Kuroda to start, you
signed all these guys to start, Girardi
said. Kuroda has a big track history.
Nova finished a spot ahead of Pineda
in Rookie of the Year voting after this
seasonandis inline to fill a spot. Pineda
was acquiredfromSeattle for promising
slugger Jesus Montero in January as
part of a multiplayer deal and is expect-
ed to have a place rotation. But there is
concern he lacks a solid third pitch a
necessityfor atopstarter andiswork-
ing on his changeup this spring.
Hughesmight beforcedtothebullpen
after struggling with injuries and veloc-
itylast year. He couldfall behindGarcia,
whowasre-signedaftergoing12-8witha
3.62ERAinhis first seasoninNewYork.
Theres no guarantees, Girardi said.
You still have to do your work, and do a
quality job. Hows that going to work
out? Im counting on all of them. Thats
the way I look at it. Weve got a competi-
tion here.
Also, reliever Joba Chamberlain has
thrownoff a full moundfor the first time
ineight months after elbowligament re-
placement surgery.
Chamberlain made 16 throws during
the session on Tuesday, and said every-
thing went great.
Its just the last step in getting back,
Chamberlain said. Just to know that
youre onthe mound. Youve gottenover
everyhurdletothispoint, andImthank-
ful for that.
Chamberlain went 2-0 with a 2.83
ERAin27 relief appearances last season
before surgery on June 16. He is expect-
edtorejointheYankees this season, pos-
sibly before the All-Star break.
Will seehowmyarmreacts(Wednes-
day), thats kind of a big thing, Cham-
berlain said. It feels fine when I throw
no matter what. Just the angle differ-
ence. Just different pressure on you go-
inguptoafull mound. If itslikeanything
else, its going to feel fine like it has.
Chamberlain will throw15 to 20 fast-
balls off the mound again on Friday, and
hopes to throw curveballs in the next
couple weeks.
Around camp
Former Yankees LHPAndy Pettitte, a
guest instructor this week, threw bat-
ting practice in an indoor cage. ... 2B
Robinson Cano, who left the team fol-
lowing the death of his grandmother,
could return Thursday. ... Closer Maria-
no Rivera said he will have his second
bullpen session Wednesday. ... RHP Da-
vid Aardsma (elbow ligament replace-
ment surgery), who agreed to a
$500,000, one-year contract last week,
reported to camp. He is throwing at 90
feet onlevel ground. ... Springinstructor
David Wells threw BP in a cage to 3B
Alex Rodriguez.
Girardi says Kuroda in rotation
PORTST. LUCIE, Fla. New
YorkMetsoutfielderLucasDuda
admits he was a little intimidat-
ed last year when he was called
up to the big leagues.
Hedidfineat Triple-ABuffalo,
hitting .302 with 10 home runs
and 24 RBI in just 38 games. But
he struggled in the majors when
he got tapped in April for an
eight-game call-uptofill infor in-
jured left fielder Jason Bay.
I think everybody lacks confi-
dence when they come up to the
big leagues, Duda said. Then
youkindof get usedtoit. Youget
rolling, you get a few base hits
and you feel great. You growand
build on it.
Duda foundthat groove by the
time he returned to the big
leagues last June and finished
the season on tear, hitting all 10
of his home runs inthose final 64
games to go along with 14 dou-
bles.
Sofar this springheresembles
the guy that concluded the sea-
son so strong. He has wowed
both the coaching staff and on-
lookers during batting practice
sessions, driving balls that
would be long past the reconfi-
gured fences at Citi Field.
Mets manager Terry Collins
has been so impressed by what
hes seenthat virtually every ver-
sion of the lineup hes drawn up
so far includes Dudas left-hand-
ed bat in the heart of the order,
right alongside those of first
baseman Ike Davis and Bay.
The possibilities are endless
for Collins, who is aiming to
make it as tough as possible on
opposing pitching staffs.
Doyouhit theseguysback-to-
back, where one can protect the
other against certain clubs that
dont have a big, effective lefty?
DoyouslipJasonBayinthe mid-
dle of it? Whats the most com-
fortable? Collins said hes pon-
dered. Right now Im real com-
fortable going Ike, Jason and Lu-
cas... Howitsgoingtolook, well
watch in spring training. Did we
need to go protect Lucas and Ja-
sonBay?Ivewrittendownsever-
al different contraptions.
What Collins does knowwith-
out a doubt is that Duda isnt the
same timid hitter that originally
arrived in the clubhouse last
year.
He now believes in himself,
Collins said. Where he came up
with some doubts last summer,
in the beginning he talked about
it and vocalized it: Imnot sure I
belong here. Well I just think
now he believes he belongs
here.
Duda said he also feels like all
the jitters are in the past.
Confidence
has Duda
set for a
better 12
The Mets outfielder admits
he was a bit overwhelmed
by the big leagues last year.
By KYLE HIGHTOWER
Associated Press
CLEARWATER, Fla. Mike Schmidt
changed his stance, tinkered with his me-
chanics and did whatever he could to im-
prove as a hitter during his Hall of Fame
career with the Philadelphia Phillies.
So hes the ideal person for the current
Phillies to discuss their batting strategies
with, especially since management has
stressedtoplayers theyneedtoalter their
approach at the plate.
Schmidt is in camp for his annual role
as a special hitting instructor, and hes
planning to spend a little more time here
this spring.
This year might be a little more one-
on-one with guys, just chatting more spe-
cifically about in-game hitting strategy,
Schmidt said. There will be times when
I chat with guys about mechanics, but for
the most part, the additions Im going to
offer this year are in-game strategies like,
Lets be more aggressive in fastball
counts, lets be tougher to strike out, lets
figure out a way to give up fewer at-bats.
Ever since the Phillies lost Game 5 of
the NLDS 1-0 to the St. Louis Cardinals,
the focus has been on the offense. With
Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels
anchoring the rotation and Jonathan Pa-
pelbon closing games, the Phillies clearly
have enough pitching to win their sixth
straight NL East title.
But the only goal is to win another
World Series championship.
And, the hitters have to do their part.
Aonce-potent offense that features two
former MVPs Ryan Howard and Jim-
my Rollins and several All-Stars hasnt
produced the way it used to when the
Phillies started this playoff run.
A few days after the disappointing loss
tothe Cardinals last fall, general manager
Ruben Amaro Jr. said hitters have to
change their hitting styles, be more selec-
tive, workthecount better andnot relyon
home runs to score. Manager Charlie
Manuel agrees, even though hes been
tryingtohammer this point hometoplay-
ers for years.
Maybe Schmidt can help.
A guy like me is only good if there are
ears that want to listen, he said. I never
saidImthe end-all whenit comes tothat,
but Im a sounding board for guys, and I
enjoy it.
Skeptics wonder if players whove had
success doing it one way for several years
can suddenly change at a later stage in
their career. Rollins, Howard and Shane
Victorino are three of the players who
wouldbenefit most froma newapproach.
But each seems set in his ways.
Can you change a guys approach?
Yeah, you can get a guy to think about his
role and profession, Schmidt said. You
can get him to think about being great at
it and get him to understand it takes ap-
plying your mind more to your craft. You
can get a guy to change the way he goes
about his pregame work.
I changed, and I was very stubborn
throughout my career. I was in my 14th
year and made major changes to my ap-
proach, both mentally and physically. I
became maybe the best hitter in my ca-
reer in my last couple of years. Thats an-
other thing. Guys need to want to im-
prove. Guys need to not be satisfied with
where they are.

Its safe to say that the
Wyoming Valley Conference is
still superior to the Lackawanna
League when it comes to wres-
tling.
For the third straight year,
the WVC advanced more wres-
tlers to the Northeast Regional
tournaments than the confer-
ence from the north. After last
weekends District 2 individual
tourneys, 55 total participants
from the Wyoming Valley and
43 from Lackawanna make up
the 98 total regional qualifiers
from the district.
Perhaps the most intriguing
aspect of the 55 WVC grapplers
is that 27 from Class 2A two-
thirds of the total 2A advancers
are moving on for the second
straight season; that number
was 17 just four years ago. An-
other astonishing stat is that 27
is just one shy of the Class 3A
regional participants despite the
fact that the top three 2A place-
winners get a berth and the
four top medalists in 3A ad-
vance.
The Wyoming Valley Confer-
ences stats in individual match-
es against the Lackawanna
League also proves power by
winning 136 of the 255 head-to-
head bouts combined from both
events. Class 2A dominated this
category as well notching 69
wins out of 117 matches. Lacka-
wanna held a small advantage
over the WVC in 3A going 71-67
when a match pitted a partici-
pant from each league. Howev-
er, 26 of those 71 victories be-
longed to D2 power Delaware
Valley, which crowned four
champions, three runners-up,
set a 3A record for most points
in the tournament with 239 and
have a D2-high nine regional
qualifiers.
When it comes down to the
team scores, the WVC claimed
the top three spots and the top
five out of seven in the 2A
standings. In Class 3A behind
Delaware Valley, the next four
teams in the standings were
from the WVC.
I think some of the coaches
are doing much more in the
offseason and its giving our
guys a better advantage going
in, Meyers coach Ron Swingle
said about the performance of
the 2A wrestlers the last few
years. Were getting better, but
we still have a way to go. Were
getting people there. Im look-
ing for consistency now. If we
could sustain that, as a district I
think were much better.
DOUBLE FOURS
For just the fourth time in
District 2 history, two wrestlers
earned the distinction of cap-
ping a district career with four
district titles. The duo of
Meyers Vito Pasone and Dela-
ware Valleys C.J. Palmer ac-
complished that last weekend.
The last time two grapplers
achieved the milestone in the
same season was 2010 with
Hazleton Areas Mark Uliano
and Pat LaBuz. The other two
times were in 2000 with Pitt-
ston Areas James and Jason
Woodall, and then in 2005 with
Valley Views Kyle Davis and
Lake-Lehmans Matt Dragon.
Pasones match finished mere
minutes before Palmers, there-
fore the Mohawk is the 23rd
wrestler from D2 to mark the
feat and Palmer is No. 24.
LEHMAN STREAKING
When four Lake-Lehman
grapplers won district cham-
pionships last weekend, the
Black Knights improved their
district-high streak of consec-
utive years with at least one
individual gold medal to 12.
Their four champions is the
most for the team since 2004,
when there were also four ti-
tlists. The last time Lehman
crowned more than four was in
1996, when five wrestlers walk-
ed away with gold medals. The
Black Knights team title was
their first since 2004 and a
district-record 21st overall.
CORRECTING AN ERROR
It was reported over the
weekend that Palmer was the
second wrestler in Lackawanna
League history to achieve four
district championships. Thats
incorrect. Palmer is the third.
The other two were Davis and
West Scrantons Dave Morgan
(2001-04).

The season appeared to be
over onSaturday. Wilkes couldnt
slow down Misericordia in the
second half of the Freedom Con-
ference championship, and it was
the Cougars who claimed the ti-
tle and a berth in the NCAAtour-
nament.
But on Monday the Colonels
announcedthey will continue on,
heading to an ECAC bracket for
the first time in 18 years. Seeded
fifth in the eight-team ECAC
South tournament, Wilkes will
play at No. 4 Alvernia at 7 p.m.
today in the quarterfinals.
Wilkes last ECAC contest
came in 1994, losing in the semi-
finals. The Colonels followed up
with five straight NCAA berths
and six in the following seven
seasons.
You know me I dont like to
say Im happy when you lose in
the championship game, coach
Jerry Rickrode said after Satur-
days loss to the Cougars. But
Improudof the guys. Imcontent
with it. Theyve had a good year
(at) 17-9. I dont like to base a lot
on record.
Now the Colonels have a
chancetoimproveonthat record.
Alvernia, a fellow MAC pro-
graminthe CommonwealthCon-
ference, finished the regular sea-
son at 17-8 and 8-6 in league play,
just missing the Commonwealth
tournament because of tiebreak-
ers. The Crusaders last played on
Feb. 18.
They were briefly a member of
the FreedomConference, playing
the 2008-09 season in the league
after joining the parent MAC
along with Misericordia.
Alvernia and Wilkes split the
two games they played that sea-
son with the home teamwinning
both times.
For the Colonels, four seniors
will get to play in at least one
more game. That includes start-
ers Paul Huch, Matt Mullins and
Kendall Hinze, who topped1,000
career points in the first half
against Misericordia Saturday.
Cant say anything (more)
about what hes done, Rickrode
said. That young man has given
everything. Everything. And hes
played hurt a lot of games.
Him and Paul, in four years
never had a bad practice. I dont
mean making shots and stuff, I
mean the intensity and (atti-
tude). Theyve been great.
NCAA womens times set
The NCAAfinalized details for
the first two rounds of the Divi-
sion III womens tournament on

Medford, Mass., against pod host
Tufts University. It will be the
second of two games at the site.
The winner will play at 7 p.m.
Saturday against the winner of
Johns Hopkins and the Universi-
ty of New England.
Kings will play host to three

MOSCOWIt was a tale of
two games for MMI Prep (2-21)
as the team executed offensively
and was able to make some big
plays on the defensive side of the
ball.
Had the Preppers been able to
put the two together at the same
time, however, they could have
potentially avoided a late 42-39
loss to Susquehanna in the Dis-
trict 2Class Asemifinals onTues-
day night.
With the win, the Sabers (7-15)
clinched a spot in states and will
takeonOldForgeintheDistrict 2
Class Afinal Friday at a site to be
determined.
Old Forge is the five-time de-
fending district champion, Sus-
quehanna coach Lawrence
Tompkins said. Theyre a tough
basketball team. Our game plan
goinginwill be totry toscore one
more point than they do.
Tonight wasnt pretty, but at
the endof the day, Ill take anugly
win as opposed to a pretty loss.
From the games onset, both
teams played particularly ugly,
with each team exchanging
steals and missed shots. MMI
failed to score on its first two pos-
sessions and had a difficult time
penetrating the Susquehanna de-
fense.
Andrzej Tomczyk got the scor-
ing started 4:44 into the first
quarter when he hit a jumper to
give Susquehanna a two-point
lead. After the Sabers added a
point from the free-throw line,
Mark Zappe netted a putback to
extend the lead to 5-0.
With 1:58 remaining in the
opening quarter of play, MMIs
Aaron Kollar sprinted down the
middle of the court and was
fouled under the net. He made
both attempts from the charity
stripe to cut MMIs deficit to 5-2.
The rest of the first quarter be-
longed to Tomczyk, who reeled
off five straight.
The second quarter was all
MMI, as it outscored the Sabers
12-6. At the 4:48 mark, MMIs Co-
ry Rogers tied the game at 10 af-
ter scoring a layup following a
well-timed steal.
After the Sabers reclaimed the
leadat12-10ona pair of foul shots
by Tomczyk and Austin Cow-
perthwait, Alex VanHoekelen
tied up the game once again on a
jump shot while in transition.
With just 1:31 left in the half,
Kollar stole the ball and went
coast-to-coast to give MMI its
first lead of the game at 14-12.
Susquehanna scored four
straight to take back the lead, on-
ly to watch VanHoekelen sink a
buzzer-beater to tie the game at
16 at the break.
The momentum immediately
swung again during the third
quarter. After Rogers kicked off
the scoring for MMI with a run-
ner, the Sabers went on a 7-0 run
to take a 25-18 lead. Despite two
deep jump shots from just inside
the arc by MMIs George Gera
and a Rogers three-pointer that
landed with 2:43 left in the quar-
ter, Susquehanna outscored the
Preppers 9-5 to extend its lead to
34-25enteringthe fourthquarter.
The Preppers started the final
quarter with many of the same
problems that plagued themdur-
ing the first and third quarters:
the team had trouble finding
holes in the Saber defense and
when it did, could not capitalize.
After each team managed to
muster upa fewpoints, Gera sent
arain-maker crashingintothenet
at the 5:32 mark. A few minutes
later, Rogers hit another three-
pointer, cutting Susquehannas
lead to 36-33.
Following a failed and-one at-
tempt by Tomczyk, Gera convert-
ed a steal into two points with an
easy layup to bring MMI to with-
in one, 38-37.
The remainder of the game be-
longed to Susquehanna. Then
with just 11seconds remaining in
the contest, MMI got the ball
back trailing 40-39 with a chance
to win the game. Unfortunately
for the Preppers, Kollar was
called for a double dribble for a
possession change.

Penn State has dismissed
freshman defensive end
Shawn Oakman from the
football team for a violation
of team rules.
The school announced the
dismissal Tuesday night and
did not give details.
Oakman, a 6-foot-9, 270-
pound defensive end from
Lansdowne, sat out last sea-
son as a redshirt.
P S U F O O T B A L L
Oakman dismissed from team
SCRANTON Withlittle more
than three minutes remaining in
the first quarter, Bob Saba buried
a three-point bomb that lifted
Dallas hopes and elevated the
Mountaineers into the lead.
It turned out to be the last time
things looked bright for the
Mountaineers.
James Fives and Mac Temples
combined for 33 points, Noah
Beh and Mike McDonald teamed
up to control the paint and Scran-
ton Prep cut Dallas down to size
during a 59-47 victory in a Dis-
trict 2 Class 3A semifinal boys
basketball game at Marywood
University.
Tonight, Dallas forward
ShaneDunnsaid, just wasnt our
night.
Dallas discovered that early.
After fallingbehindby three on
Sabas trey, the Cavaliers ripped
off an 11-3 run to end the first
quarter with a 17-12 lead, then
stretched it to 29-21 by halftime
on the strength of 12 first-half
points from Fives.
Its not always about scoring,
said Fives, who finished with a
game-high 17 points to Prep into
Fridays district championship
game against Abington Heights.
Its the little things that matter.
The big things, too.
Dallas found it difficult dealing
with Preps inside game, led by 6-
foot-6 Beh and 6-5 McDonald.
Overpowering Dallas 6-5 Jason
Simonovich and 6-4 Dunn inside,
the Cavaliers collected three or
four rebounds on the same pos-
session at times and limited Dal-
las scoringattempts onScranton
Preps defensive end.
Their two big kids were very
physical and strong, Dunn said.
It was hard to really get a body
on them.
To make matters worse for the
Mountaineers, they had a hard
time getting critical shots to go
down while trying to mount a
comeback through the second
half.
Paul Brace beat a crowd of de-
fenders swarming him by shovel-
inghome a shot topull the Moun-
taineers within36-29 with3:46 to
go in the third quarter. But a cou-
pleof Dallas three-point attempts
rattled out. And Prep was far
from flustered by the Mountain-
eers push, as McDonald scored
five of his 10 points in the third
quarter to give the Cavaliers a10-
point lead entering the fourth.
A big finish by Temples, who
scored nine of his 16 points in the
last quarter, polished off Preps
victory.
None of our shots were really
falling, Dunn said, and they
were getting just about every de-
fensive rebound, offensive re-
bound.
I dont knowhowmanylayups
were bouncingout, Dallas coach
Doug Miller said. Bobby Saba
had a couple (3s) that bounced
out.
Were supposed to hit the
nets, not the rims.
Still, the Mountaineers felt as if
they hit the jackpot with a 15-9
season that included a Wyoming
Valley Conference Division II
championship and a trip to the
district semifinals after Miller
was hired less than two weeks be-
fore the 2011-12 opener.

CLEVELAND Ray Allen
scored 22 points, Kevin Garnett
added 18 and the Boston Celtics
beat the Cleveland Cavaliers
86-83 on Tuesday night to snap
a five-game losing streak.
Boston, which couldnt hold a
16-point lead in the first quarter,
avoided its first six-game skid
since dropping seven in a row
from April 4-15, 2007.
Kyrie Irving returned from a
bruised elbow that sidelined
him late in the second quarter
and led Cleveland with 24
points, 19 in the second half.
Irving hit two free throws
with 1:21 remaining to give
Cleveland an 81-80 lead. After
Allen missed a 3-pointer, Gar-
nett tipped Irvings pass, leading
to Allens dunk with 48.6 sec-
onds left.
Irving drove down the lane
and missed a layup with 27
seconds remaining. Garnett
missed on Bostons next posses-
sion, but grabbed his own re-
bound and was fouled by An-
tawn Jamison with 3.9 seconds
to go. Garnett made both shots
and the Cavaliers called a time-
out, trailing 84-81.
Irving was fouled before he
could get off a 3-point attempt
and made both free throws with
3.5 seconds left. Allen hit two
foul shots with 2.4 seconds
remaining, and Anthony Park-
ers 3-pointer at the buzzer hit
the front rim.
A moment of silence was
observed before the game for
the victims of Mondays shoot-
ings at Chardon High School,
located approximately 30 miles
from Cleveland. Three students
were killed and two were
wounded.
Celtics point guard Rajon
Rondo was held scoreless for
the first time since March 16
last season against Indiana, but
had 11 assists.
The Celtics lead the Cavaliers
by 2
1
2 games for eighth place in
the Eastern Conference.
Boston lost its final five
games before the All-Star break,
the last three by 15 or more
points. It appeared the Celtics
were headed to a blowout of
their own as they dominated the
first quarter, shooting 12 for 20
from the field. Their biggest
lead was 28-12 on Garnetts bank
shot with 19 seconds left in the
period.
Irving left the game with 3:41
remaining before halftime after
taking a charge from Paul
Pierce. Irving was taken to the
locker room and returned to the
bench with about two minutes
to go, but didnt play the rest of
the half. Cleveland trailed 43-38
at halftime.

12 points and nine rebounds for
the Pacers, who remained in
third place in the Eastern Con-
ference. The Pacers topped 100
points for the fourth straight
game after doing so just six
times before the current stretch.
Monta Ellis and Brandon
Rush each scored 14 points for
the Warriors, who finished with
season lows in points and field-
goal percentage (.341).
Golden State guard Stephen
Curry sat out with a strained
tendon in his right foot. The
Warriors missed the 45-percent
3-point shooter they made
just 1 of 17 3s in the first three
quarters.
76ers 97, Pistons 68
AUBURN HILLS, Mich.
Thaddeus Young scored 12 of
his 20 points in a pivotal second
quarter and All-Star Andre Iguo-
dala had 12 points, six assists
and four steals to help Philadel-
phia snap a five-game losing
streak.
Sixers coach Doug Collins left
the bench between the third and
fourth quarters, walking to the
teams locker room, and didnt
return to the court because of
flulike symptoms.
Atlantic Division-leading
Philadelphia beat the Pistons
twice at home by an average of
22 points and routed them on
the road now in the first game
after the All-Star break.
Philadelphias Elton Brand
scored 10 points, returning from
a two-game absence because of
a sprained right thumb.
Greg Monroe scored 20 points
and Rodney Stuckey had 17 for
the Pistons.
Rockets 88, Raptors 85
HOUSTON Kyle Lowry
scored 26 points, Luis Scola had
15 points and 10 rebounds and
the Houston Rockets beat the
Toronto Raptors.
Kevin Martin scored 14
points, though he missed a key
free throw with 11.7 seconds left
that gave the Raptors a chance
to tie it. But Linas Kleiza missed
a long 3-point try, Martin cor-
ralled the rebound and the Rock-
ets won for the 18th time in the
last 25 games.
DeMar DeRozan scored 17
points, James Johnson had 16
and Ed Davis tied a career-high
with 15 rebounds for the Rap-
tors. Toronto outrebounded
Houston 47-37, but went 2 for
17 from 3-point range and com-
mitted 17 turnovers.
The Rockets have won 25
consecutive games when hold-
ing their opponent below 90
points.
Bulls 99, Hornets 95
CHICAGO Derrick Rose
scored 32 points, including the
go-ahead jumper with 19.4 sec-
onds left, and the Chicago Bulls
closed with an 8-0 run to beat
the New Orleans Hornets.
Joakim Noah had 15 points
and 16 rebounds for the Bulls
and Carlos Boozer and Luol
Deng added 14 points apiece.
Rose scored six points in Chica-
gos final run.
Chris Kaman had 17 points
and 11 rebounds for the Hornets
and Trevor Ariza scored 16
points.
Bucks 119, Wizards 118
MILWAUKEE Ersan Ilyaso-
va scored on a tip-in with 2.2
seconds left and the Milwaukee
Bucks beat Washington, hand-
ing the Wizards their fifth con-
secutive defeat.
Mike Dunleavy scored a sea-
son-high 28 points for the
Bucks, who snapped a six-game
losing streak at home.

Allen, Garnett lead
Celtics past Cavaliers
BOSTON Robin Lehner
stopped 32 shots for his first
career shutout and Erik Karls-
son scored the lone goal, lifting
surging Ottawa to a 1-0 win
over Boston on Tuesday night.
It was the Senators first
victory in five games against
the Bruins this season.
With the win, the Senators
moved one point behind the
Northeast Division-leading
Bruins, who have played four
fewer games than Ottawa. Otta-
wa won for the sixth time in
seven games and sent the
Bruins to their fourth loss in
six.
The 20-year old Lehner, play-
ing in just his 11th NHL game,
benefited from some strong
defensive play in front of him.
His teammates blocked 10
shots in the opening two peri-
ods and limited most of Bos-
tons shots to beyond the faceoff
circles.
Tim Thomas made 37 saves
for the Bruins, but lost to a
divisional opponent for just the
second time in 14 games this
season.
Red Wings 5, Blue Jackets 2
COLUMBUS, Ohio Henrik
Zetterberg scored the go-ahead
goal and added an assist, and
Joey MacDonald had 28 saves
to help the Detroit Red Wings
end a three-game slide with a
victory over the Columbus Blue
Jackets.
Johan Franzen had a goal and
two assists, Niklas Kronwall
and Valtteri Filppula both add-
ed a goal and assist, and Jan
Mursak also scored for the Red
Wings (26-3-2), who improved
to 16-16-1 on the road.
MacDonald (7-1-1) made a
big stop on Ryan Russells
short-handed breakaway to
keep the Red Wings in a 2-2 tie
in the third period.
Blue Jackets captain Rick
Nash, who was on the block but
wasnt traded before Mondays
NHL deadline, and Derek
MacKenzie scored for Colum-
bus.
Kings 4, Wild 0
ST. PAUL, Minn. Backup
goaltender Jonathan Bernier
stopped 25 shots for his fifth
career shutout, while Anze
Kopitar scored and added an
assist as the Los Angeles Kings
rolled to a 4-0 victory Tuesday
night at Minnesota.
Justin Williams, Dwight King
and Alec Martinez added goals
for Los Angeles, which entered
the game having won only one
of its past six. The victory al-
lowed the Kings to move into a
tie with Dallas and Colorado for
the eighth and final playoff spot
in the Western Conference.
Minnesota, which had won
three of four, remained five
points out of the top eight.
A night after missing chances
in a loss at Nashville, the Kings
scored four times despite plac-
ing only 15 shots on goal.
Capitals 3, Islanders 2
WASHINGTON Alex
Ovechkin scored at 1:35 of
overtime after Troy Brouwer
tallied twice in the final 3
1
2
minutes of regulation, giving
the Washington Capitals an
improbable win over the New
York Islanders.
Blanked by New York goalie
Evengi Nabokov for 56 minutes,
the Capitals mounted a stun-
ning rally to win their third
straight their longest streak
since an identical run in mid-
January.
Brouwer cut the deficit to 2-1
with 3:29 left in regulation,
scoring from the right of the
net after taking an excellent
crossing pass from Mathieu
Perreault.
Then, after Capitals coach
Dale Hunter pulled goalie Mi-
chal Neuvirth, Brouwer deflect-
ed a shot by Brooks Laich past
Nabokov to tie it with 25.5
seconds to play.
Panthers 5, Maple Leafs 3
TORONTO Mike Santorel-
li scored twice as the Florida
Panthers handed the sinking
Maple Leafs a loss, an all-too-
familiar outcome for fans in
Toronto.
Loud chants of Fire Wilson!
directed at coach Ron Wilson
were heard twice during the
third period as the Leafs lost for
the ninth time in 10 games,
including all four on a disheart-
ening homestand. Toronto sits
four points out of a playoff
position in the Eastern Confer-
ence.
Marcel Goc, Jason Garrison
and Stephen Weiss also scored
for Florida, which leads the
Southeast Division with 72
points. Jose Theodore added 28
saves.
Phil Kessel, Nikolai Kulemin
and Joffrey Lupul replied for
the Maple Leafs.
Hurricanes 4, Predators 3
RALEIGH, N.C. Bryan
Allen scored his first goal of the
season on a breakaway coming
out of the penalty box, and the
Carolina Hurricanes held on for
a win over the Nashville Preda-
tors.
Nashvilles Gabriel Bourque
scored less than a minute later
at 2:16 of the third period
to cut Carolinas lead to 4-3 but
the Predators couldnt tie it.
Eric Staal and Tim Brent
scored power-plays goals in the
second period, and Jamie
McBain had Carolinas first goal
earlier in the frame.
Craig Smith and Colin Wil-
son also scored for Nashville,
which had its two-game win-
ning streak snapped. The Pred-
ators, who wont play again
until Saturday at Florida, lost in
regulation for just the sixth
time in regulation since Dec.
28.
Lightning 2, Canadiens 1
TAMPA, Fla. Steven Stam-
kos scored his NHL-leading
44th goal of the season and the
Tampa Bay Lightning beat the
slumping Montreal Canadiens.
Adam Hall also scored for the
Lightning, who are 11th in the
Eastern Conference and trail
eighth-place Washington by five
points. Mathieu Garon finished
with 23 saves.
Stamkos took a pass from
Teddy Purcell, deked around
goalie Carey Price and put the
Lightning up 1-0 at 8:42 of the
first period. Purcell, a game-
time decision due to the flu, has
10 assists and 14 points during
a career-high seven-game point
streak.
Montreal got a goal from
David Desharnais. The Cana-
diens have lost five in a row,
getting outscored 16-5.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. Co-
dy Zeller scored 18 points and
Victor Oladipo added13, leading
No. 18 Indiana past No. 5 Michi-
gan State 70-55 on Tuesday
night, its third victory over a top
five team this season.
The Hoosiers (22-7, 10-7 Big
Ten) are the second team to
achieve that feat this season,
joining Kansas which did it with
a win over Missouri on Saturday.
Indiana upset No. 1 Kentucky
and No. 2 Ohio State in Decem-
ber and now the Spartans, who
couldhave clinchedtheir second
outright Big Ten title in four sea-
sons with a victory.
Michigan State (24-6, 13-4)
can still win the outright crown
with a victory over No. 10 Ohio
State on Sunday.
Instead, the Hoosiers joined
the 1975-76 team as the schools
only one since 1948-49 to beat
three top five teams in one sea-
son, and became the only one to
do win all three games during
the regular season
This time, Indiana didnt need
a last-second shot or a last-sec-
ond stop to win it.
Indiana took a page a page out
of Michigan States playbook,
beating the Spartans with de-
fense, rebounding and tough-
ness.
Michigan State had won six
straight in the series and seven
straight overall.
It was Indiana coach Tom
Creans first win over Tom Izzo,
his former boss at Michigan
State.
Indianas ability to repeatedly
get to the basket ignited a 12-2
run that gave it an18-8 lead, forc-
ing Izzo to call time out.
After the break, Izzo who had
been shaking his head in disbe-
lief, finally saw the Spartans
warm up. Austin Thornton fin-
ished a fastbreak with a layup,
then popped outside and hit a 3-
pointer to make it 18-13.
But every time MichiganState
got close, Indiana answered.
Greens first 3 got the Spartans
within 24-20. Then Christian
Watford knocked down a 3 for
the Hoosiers, which started a
12-5 run and helped Indiana take
a 41-27 halftime lead.
It looked like the Spartans
would challenge when Green
scored six points in a 10-0 run to
get the Spartans within 43-37
with 15:47 left in the game.
But Indiana answered with
four straight points to make it
47-37 and after Green hit anoth-
er 3, the Hoosiers extended the
lead to 51-40.
Wisconsin 52, Minnesota 45
MADISON, Wis. Jordan
Taylor scored 22 points to lead
No. 14 Wisconsin to a victory
over Minnesota that clinched a
first-round bye in the Big Ten
tournament for the Badgers.
Both teams shot poorly, there
were 43 fouls called and the
teams combined to shoot 58 free
throws.
But the Badgers (22-8, 11-6 Big
Ten) found their shooting touch
in the second half to secure at
least a fourth-place finish in the
conference.
Minnesota (17-13, 5-12) led 23-
16 at halftime. But Wisconsin
opened the second half on a 16-4
run and pushed the lead to 44-34
with just under 7 minutes to go
on consecutive 3-pointers.
Andre Hollins ledthe Gophers
with 18 points, while Ralph
Sampson III finished with eight
points to give him 1,004 for his
career.
Ryan Evans added 12 points
for the Badgers.
M A J O R C O L L E G E B A S K E T B A L L
Indiana holds off Michigan State for yet another upset
er quit.
Taylor Carter had nine re-
bounds and Rachel Ciccozzi

Kat Rosencrance had 18
points, 10 in the first half, and
eight rebounds for Abington
Heights.
I had a couple of sick kids to-
day, Bucciarelli said. Rosey
wasnt feeling good. But she got
us that lead in the first half.

trict title. Bothteams will play in

to be headed toward a success-
ful show on Sunday when a stea-
dy rain at Daytona International
Speedway washed out NAS-
CARs version of the Super
Bowl.
NASCAR just cant catch a
break, Dale Earnhardt Jr. said.
Were trying to deliver, and we
just have some unfortunate
things happen such as the rain
delay, potholes in the track a
couple of years ago. Were a
good sport, and were trying to
give a good product.
Lost in all the non-racing sto-
rylines was a second Daytona
500 title for Matt Kenseth, who
held off Earnhardt and Roush
Fenway Racing teammate Greg
Biffle over a two-lap overtime
finish in a race that was sched-
uled to begin Sunday afternoon
but ended in the early morning
hours Tuesday.
But it was driver Brad Kese-
lowski who stole the spotlight
after he grabbed it with both
thumbs.
NASCAR is an active social
community, and its stars have
been good about engaging with
fans. But Keselowski took it to
another level with his live tweet-
ing, which was featured promi-
nently in the telecast and kept
fans informed during the stop-
page.
He started the race with
roughly 65,000 followers and his
phone in his race car, intent on
finding an opportunity to use it.
It came during the fire, when
he was able to tweet pictures,
answer fans and entertain the
drivers surrounding him and his
phone as they waited on the
backstretch during the delay. By
the time the drivers got back in-
to their cars, Keselowskis fol-
lowers had swollen to more than
200,000. It earned Keselowski a
prime spot Tuesday on
CNN.coms Tech page and had
the sports world abuzz about
NASCARs use of social media.
He downplayed his social
media savvy after the race,
which ended for Keselowski in a
late accident that he tweeted
about minutes after the crash.
Asked how many followers he
gained during the race, he said,
a lot, but you know, Ill take the
win first.
Actually, it was a win for ev-
eryone in NASCAR.
Though NASCAR president
Mike Helton was unsure if the
sport will consider weeknight
racing going forward.
We did this one to get this
one done. It wasnt scheduled
originally to be this way, he
said. Fox certainly participated
in a very professional manner
helping us get the coverage of
the Daytona 500 that everybody
wanted. Were very grateful for
all the fans that stuck it out
here, and stuck with us back
home through the red flag and
through the weather incident.
As we go forward and we put
our schedules together, the pri-
mary interest is weekends, be-
cause thats what we do. But
(the race) unfortunately gave us
a sample to look at, I guess, for
down the road.
Certainly, Monday night races
have found a fan in Kenseth.
He moved to the lead when
racing resumed after the fire. An
obscure group of drivers led by
journeyman Dave Blaney had
moved to the front during what
should have been a routine cau-
tion period. Those top-five driv-
ers would have pitted under yel-
low, but something broke on
Montoyas car and sent him
slamming into a safety truck,
that burst into flames.
Had the track been badly
damaged or had the rain re-
sumed with any force, Blaney
might have gone to Victory Lane
for the first time in 398 Sprint
Cup races.
DAYTONA
Continued from Page 1B

Emergency workers try to extinguish a fire on a jet dryer during
the NASCAR Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway in
Daytona Beach, Fla., on Monday. Juan Pablo Montoyas car struck
the dryer during a caution period after something on his car
broke.
PALM BEACH GARDENS,
Fla. Tiger Woods might long
for the day when all anyone
questioned was his swing.
Because until now, no one ev-
er doubted his putting.
But as Woods begins his road
to the Masters this week at the
Honda Classic, scrutiny has
shifted from his new swing to
what used to be the most reliable
part of his game.
Poised to make a run at Pebble
Beach, Woods badly missed a 5-
foot birdie putt on the second
hole and missed from 3 feet for
par on the seventh hole just as
Phil Mickelson was pulling away.
Woods three-putted the last hole
for a 75.
I could not get comfortable
where I could see my lines, he
said. I couldnt get the putter to
swing.
Last week at the Match Play
Championship, despite missing
two birdie putts inside 10 feet on
the back nine as he tried to rally,
Woods had a birdie putt from
just outside 5 feet on the 18th
hole to extend his second-round
match against Nick Watney.
The putt never even touched
the hole.
I should be able to fix it in a
day, Woods said.
Players help each other all the
time, so it should not be unusual
that twice in the last three
months, Woods has sought ad-
vice from Steve Stricker. The tip
at the Presidents Cup was to re-
lease the blade. They played
nine holes of a practice round
Tuesday at Dove Mountain, and
Stricker noticed the club was too
shut going back, which Woods
attributed to his missed putt
against Watney.
But ask yourself this: When
does Woods take advice from
anybody even Stricker
when it comes to his putting?
This is the guy on everyones
list of the games best putters. No
one from his generation made
more clutch putts.
There was that 6-foot birdie
putt to force a playoff at the PGA
Championship in 2000 during
his sweep of the majors. The 15-
foot putt in the dark at the Presi-
dents Cup in South Africa. And
perhaps the biggest one of all,
the 12-foot birdie putt on the
18th hole at Torrey Pines that
got Woods and his shattered leg
into a playoff at the U.S. Open.
To watch a replay in slow mo-
tion of the ball bouncing toward
the cup and diving into the right
corner, it had no business going
in except that it was Woods. The
shortest club in his bag wasnt a
putter, it was a magic wand.
Maybe its as simple as karma.
For those suggesting he go
back to the Scotty Cameron put-
ter that brought him 13 majors,
thats not the solution. He was
missing just as many putts with
his old putter since coming back
from the crisis in his personal
life.
It would be foolish to jump to
conclusions about Woods. He is
capable of far more than anyone
else, proof of that coming from
his 71 wins on the PGA Tour.
Winning at Honda or Doral
might be enough to empty his
head of doubts. A win at the
Masters, which is more about
creativity than technique, chang-
es everything.
Woods can do just about any-
thing with his swing this is
the fourth change he has made in
15 years.
He cant get by as easily with-
out good putting.
Woods spent most of 1998
overhauling his swing under
Butch Harmon. He still managed
two wins, four runner-up finishes
and he was out of the top 10 only
eight times in 24 tournaments
around the world.
He revamped his swing again
in 2004 under Hank Haney and
still contended. Woods won
twice that year, was runner-up
three times and finished out of
the top 10 only five times in 21
tournaments.
The difference? He was still
making putts.
Hes no longer making as
many.
Stevie (Williams) used to
keep all his stats, Haney said. If
he didnt three-putt, he would
win 85 percent of the time. If he
made his normal amount of
putts, he would usually win. And
if he made a bunch of them, he
would win by six or eight. Nowit
looks to me like he has to make a
bunch to win by a couple, which
is what everybody else does.
That has been the biggest dif-
ference about Woods the last two
years he looks like everybody
else.
Its difficult to compare his re-
sults with the latest swing
change because of the circum-
stances. He had a four-month lay-
off in 2010 after being exposed
for cheating on his wife. And as
it relates to golf, injuries kept
him from making quicker pro-
gress.
Since returning fully healthy
at Firestone last August, Woods
won the Chevron World Chal-
lenge (with birdies on the last
two holes). He lost the 36-hole
lead and finished third at the
Australian Open, and he lost a
share of the 54-hole lead with
Robert Rock and tied for third in
Abu Dhabi. He finished out of
the top 10 in his other five
events.
Woods never made every big
putt, even if he made it look that
way.
Perhaps the biggest putt he ev-
er missed was a 15-footer on the
final hole of the second round in
the 2005 Byron Nelson Classic,
which caused him to miss the
cut for the first time in seven
years and ended one of the great-
est streaks in golf. He missed key
putts while contending for U.S.
Opens at Pinehurst and Oak-
mont. That stuff even happened
to Jack Nicklaus.

Scrutiny on Woods
shifts to his putting

Tiger Woods putting has left him nothing to smile about this
season.
By DOUG FERGUSON
AP Golf Writer
NEW YORK Powerful as
the NFL is, its making way
for President Barack Obama.
Opting to play a game on a
Wednesday for the first time
in more than 60 years, the
NFL will open the regular
season on Sept. 5, to avoid
conflicting with Obamas
speech at the Democratic
National Convention the next
night.
The Super Bowl champion
New York Giants will host the
Wednesday night season-
opener starting at 8:30 p.m.;
their opponent hasnt been
announced yet.
According to the league, it
hasnt played a game on a
Wednesday since Sept. 22,
1948, when the Los Angeles
Rams faced the Detroit Lions.
The NFL regular season has
started on a Thursday since
2002. This years change was
announced by the league
Tuesday.
49ers sign LB Brooks to
$44.5M, 6-year extension
SAN FRANCISCO Ah-
mad Brooks always wanted to
stay in the Bay Area, a place
that has become a new home
after all those painful memo-
ries of getting cut by Cincin-
nati four years ago, and the
San Francisco 49ers sure
made it hard for him to leave.
Now the two are tied to-
gether long term.
Brooks signed a six-year,
$44.5 million contract exten-
sion with San Francisco on
Tuesday that will take him
through the 2017 season and
keep one of the NFLs best
linebacker units intact. The
deal is worth $17.5 million
guaranteed, said his agent,
Greg Williams.
Something was telling me
just to sign here. I feel like
this is where I should be,
said Brooks, who couldve
opted for free agency. These
are the people who gave me a
chance to get this contract.
Brooks emerged as a regular
starter for the first time in his
six-year NFL career last sea-
son.
Along with All-Pro inside
linebackers Patrick Willis and
NaVorro Bowman and sensa-
tional rookie Aldon Smith at
the other outside spot, Brooks
helped the 49ers win the NFC
West behind one of the
leagues best defenses. San
Francisco allowed only 14.3
points per game, second only
to Pittsburgh at 14.2.
The 49ers lost at home in
overtime of the NFC cham-
pionship game to the eventual
Super Bowl champion New
York Giants.
Ex-Cowboys lineman sues
league over concussions
HOUSTON A former
Dallas Cowboys defensive
lineman has sued the NFL,
alleging concussions have
affected his short-term memo-
ry and caused migraine head-
aches and other health prob-
lems.
Michael Myers lawsuit was
filed Friday in U.S. District
Court in Houston. It accuses
the NFL of negligence, fraud
and conspiracy in its handling
of head injuries.
The Cowboys drafted Myers
was drafted by the Cowboys
in 1998 and played six seasons
for Dallas before finishing a
10-year career with the Cleve-
land Browns, Denver Broncos
and Cincinnati Bengals.
An NFL spokesman said
Tuesday the league hadnt
seen Myers suit, but added
that any allegation it inten-
tionally sought to mislead
players has no merit.
The complaint is the latest
in a series of suits by former
NFL players alleging theyve
been impaired by concussions.

Dow holds above 13,000
The Dow Jones industrial average on
Tuesday reclaimed the last of the
ground it held before the carnage of the
Great Recession bailouts, bank
failures, layoffs by the million and a
stock market panic that cut retirement
savings in half.
The Dow closed above 13,000 for the
first time since May 19, 2008.
I think its a momentous day for
investor confidence, said Jack Ablin,
chief investment officer at Harris Pri-
vate Bank. What this number implies
is that the financial crisis that we were
all losing sleep over, it never happened,
because now were back.
New iPad expected
Apple Inc. is expected to introduce a
new version of the iPad tablet comput-
er at an event in San Francisco next
week, according to an invitation the
tech giant sent to the media Tuesday.
The invitation has an image of a
finger touching an iPad calendar icon
displaying the number 7 with the
tagline We have something you really
have to see. And touch. The event will
take place March 7 in San Francisco.
The iPad has been one of the most
successful products in Apple history.
Apple shipped 40.5 million iPads in
2011, up from15.1 million in 2010, IHS
reported.
Pa. 529 a top performer
Pennsylvanias 529 college savings
plan ranked in the top 10 for invest-
ment returns in the one-, three- and
five-year periods in a review by Saving-
forcollege.com. Pennsylvanias plan was
one of only two to make the top 10 for
each period. It was second for one-year
performance, 10th for three years and
third for five years.
New Yorks 529 was the other plan in
the top 10 for all three periods. The
rankings were for plans that are sold
directly to consumers.
The PA 529 College Savings Pro-
gram has 163,305 open accounts, state
Treasurer Rob McCord said in a re-
lease.
Trump buying Doral resort
Donald Trump is buying the Doral
Hotel & Country Club, home of the
Blue Monster golf course and host to
numerous professional tournaments
over the years, for $150 million.
The Trump Organization said on
Monday that it plans to make a major
investment to renovate the Miami
property and its golf courses.

stakes. They were among 36,500 entrants in the contest that required the purchase of the brands Blitz-
burgh Crunch ice cream. The Giuntas, Steelers fans, will receive a pair of tickets to all eight Pittsburgh Steel-
ers home games for the upcoming season. TJ Giunta said theyll happily make the five-hour cross-state
drive to see the games.

When a Blue Cross of Northeastern
Pennsylvania member seeks treatment at
an urgent care center, the co-pay can be
equal to that for an office visit, specialist
appointment or a trip to the emergency
room. But starting Thursday, visits to a
handful of local urgent carecenters will be
handled uniformly.
The health insurance company has
signed an agreement with four Med Ex-
press centers including two in Luzerne
County that guarantees its plan mem-
bers will be responsible for a co-payment
consistentwiththeirbenefitsplan. Inaddi-
tion to the centers at 677 Kidder St.,
Wilkes-Barre, and the West Side Mall in
Edwardsville, the other locations are in
Williamsport and Bartonsville.
Anthony Matrisciano, a Blue Cross
spokesman, saidadditional centers arebe-
ing solicited for the network and Blue
Cross members may continue to visit any
urgentcarecenter. Theyjustruntheriskof
payingmoremoneyout of their ownpock-
et at centers not in the network.
Urgent care centers have proliferatedto
handle patients that formerly inundated
area emergency rooms because theres no
other option to them.
Theyre staffed by doctors and nurses
and can handle basic treatments such as
bee stings or asthma attacks, andmore se-
rious cases such as burns or wounds re-
quiringstitches. Noappointment is neces-
sary, hoursareoftensevendaysaweekand
waits are often minimal.
Fromhospitals standpoint, the centers
free up emergency room doctors to more
quickly treat patients with more serious
ailments.
Urgent care co-pays stabilized

NEW YORK A private re-
search group says consumer
confidence in February rose dra-
matically fromlast month to the
highest level since a year ago
when the U.S. economys out-
look started to look brighter be-
fore souring again.
The Conference Boards Con-
sumer Confidence Index now
stands at 70.8, up froma revised
61.5 in January, helped by con-
sumers improving assessment
of the job market. Analysts had
expected a reading of 63. The
February reading marks the
highest level since February
2011 when it was 72.0.
The index, which is closely
watched because consumer
spending makes up the majority
of U.S. economic activity, is still
far below the 90 that indicates a
healthy economy. But its closer
to levels that indicate a steady
economy than not.
Consumers are considerably
less pessimistic about current
business and labor market con-
ditions that they were in Janu-
ary, said Lynn Franco, director
of The Conference Board Con-
sumer Research Center in a
statement.
But there also are reasons for
caution. The European debt cri-
sis threatens to hurt the U.S.
economy. And rising gas prices
could limit spending by middle-
andlower-income shoppers. The
average U.S. price of a gallon of
gasoline rose 18 cents to $3.69
from two weeks earlier, accord-
ing to the Lundberg Survey of
fuel prices released Sunday.
Consumer

BARCELONA, Spain -- Googles An-
droid, having become the most popular
smartphone software among consum-
ers, is set to gain traction with business-
es as SAP and VMWare help iron out se-
curity kinks.
Software companies attending the
Mobile World Congress in Barcelona
this week are displaying solutions de-
signed to prevent corporate data from
being compromised when employees
usetheir personal phones for work. Sam-
sung Electronics, the biggest maker of
Android phones, says reducing that risk
would give it a chance to overtake Apple
in the enterprise business.
We recognized that we need a new
growth agenda for Samsung, which is
goingtoenterprise, saidBum-CooCho,
who heads Suwon, South Korea-based
Samsungs enterprise business team.
Android, released less than four years
ago, has since vaulted past Nokias Sym-
bian and Apples iOS in popularity
among consumers of smartphones and
tablet computers. Yet many businesses
are concerned about the security of its
open-source software, leaving a market
largely untapped by champions of the
platform including Samsung, HTC
Corp. and LG Electronics Co.
In Barcelona, SAP unveiled a partner-
ship with Samsung to make Android de-
vices safer to use as corporate tools.
Siemens, Europes largest engineer-
ing company, is considering options for
a comprehensive solution on how to in-
tegrate not only personal computers,
but also devices like smartphones and
tablets into the companys ITlandscape,
said spokesman Wolfram Trost.

Weve been
having one of
the top 5
warmest
Februarys on
record with an
average
temperature
nearly 6 degrees
above normal!
But today will be
a cold raw day
with snow and
sleet early,
changing to all
rain. This hap-
pens when
warmer air
blows over
colder air and
with time, the
freezing air is
eroded away
from top to
bottom and
were left with
above freezing
temperatures.
Rainfall totals
will range from
3- to 7-tenths of
an inch followed
by fog. A strong
south wind
Friday night will
bring more rain
into Saturday
morning.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: Showers and thunderstorms will be likely along and ahead of a cold front
from eastern Texas to the Ohio Valley and east into portions of the mid-Atlantic. Rain will fall along a
warm front over the Northeast, with snow in the colder air to the north. A wintry mix will be possible
over northern Lower Michigan, with heavy snow to the north and west.

TASTE S E C T I O N C
timesleader.com
IF YOU ARE looking for meatless-
meal ideas during this Lenten sea-
son, flatbreads are a great option and
can be tailored for
the individual tastes
of your family mem-
bers. They can be
prepared quickly
using a variety of
store-bought flat-
bread shells, or you
can prepare your own fresh pizza
dough when time permits. Here are
two of our favorites:
CRAB & RICOTTA FLATBREAD

2 flatbread shells (either store
bought or homemade)
1
2 pound super lump crab meat
3
4 cup fresh mozzarella, chopped
8 ounces ricotta cheese
2 cloves garlic, oven roasted
1
2 teaspoon salt
3
4 cup chopped tomatoes or
1
2 cup
sundried tomatoes
3
4 cup chopped artichoke hearts
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta
cheese with the roasted garlic and salt.
Spread the ricotta mixture over flat-
breads, leaving an inch crust around the
edges. Top with the crab, artichoke
hearts and the tomatoes. Top with the
chopped fresh mozzarella cheese.
Bake the flatbread for 10 minutes or
until golden brown. Serve immediately.
MUSHROOM & PESTO

FLATBREAD
2 flatbread shells (either store
bought or homemade)
1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced (we
use a mix of different mushrooms)
2
3 cup prepared pesto sauce (see
recipe below or store bought)
3
4 cup Fontina cheese, grated
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt to taste
Truffle oil (optional)
PESTO
2 cups fresh basil leaves
1
2 cup of pine nuts or walnuts or a
combination, toasted
2 cloves garlic, peeled
1
2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2
3 cup extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
In a food processor, blend together
basil leaves, nuts, garlic, and cheese.
Pour in oil slowly while still mixing. Stir
in salt and pepper. This will make more
than you need.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Saut mushrooms in olive oil over
medium heat until soft, drain the extra
liquid. Sprinkle with a bit of salt. Spread
flatbread shells with pesto sauce, leav-
ing an inch crust around the edges. Top
with the mushroom mixture, then sprin-
kle with the grated Fontina cheese.
Bake for 10 minutes or until golden
brown. Sprinkle with a bit of truffle oil if
desired. Serve immediately.

When it comes to weeknight
dinners, sometimes the shortest
route is the long way around.
Which is to say, letting the
slow cooker chug away while
you are away often is the fastest
and easiest way to get a great
dinner on the table during your
evening rush.
My only complaint about
slow-cooker recipes is that too
many of them require either too
much planning or too much
prepping (and sometimes cook-
ing) of ingredients before they
go into the cooker. I want reci-
pes that let me dump stuff in,
then walk away and forget about
it until dinner.
So thats what I came up with
for this simple, but over-the-top-
good, pasta recipe. You let the
slow cooker perfectly caramel-
ize a whole mess of onions
while you are at work for the
day.
When you come home, you
toss those with a few other
ingredients, and in the time it
takes you to boil pasta, you have
dinner.
A food processor is the easiest
way to slice this volume of on-
ions. And you also could do that
the night before, then bag them
and toss them in the refrigerator
until the next morning so all
you have to do is empty them
into the slow cooker and walk
away.
As for the sun-dried tomatoes
and arugula, I went with what I
like. But improvise according to
your familys tastes.
Any vegetables or cooked
meats can be substituted. Sau-
sage even could be added to the
slow cooker in the morning.

NO MATTER HOW DELICIOUS A CAESAR SALAD
is, chilly temperatures tend to be a turnoff for all things
leafy green.
Which is why I decided to tinker with the basics of this
classic salad, to see whether I could make a winter-
friendly version that was true to its tangy, cheesy roots
but also hardy enough to be desirable on a snowy night.
I kept the classic Romaine base but bulked it up with
roasted cubes of butternut squash. Warm and substan-
tial, butternut is the perfect base for a robust Caesar
dressing. Add to that some freshly made croutons (the
oven is already on for the squash, so why not?) and its a
perfect vegetarian dinner.
Want to make it more substantial? No need to dirty a pan.
Slice some boneless, skinless chicken breasts into thin strips,
season with salt, pepper and garlic powder, toss themon the
baking sheet with the croutons and squash for the last 20
minutes of baking, then cut theminto chunks and toss with
the salad.

BUTTERNUT CAESAR SALAD
Start to finish: 40 minutes
Servings: 4
For the squash:
20-ounces peeled and cubed
butternut squash
1 tablespoon olive oil
For the croutons:
10 ounces rustic bread, cut into
croutons (about 4 cups)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
For the dressing:
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic
4 anchovy fillets
Juice of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, divided
2 heads Romaine lettuce,
chopped
Heat the oven to 400F. Coat a
baking sheet with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, combine the
squash with the oil, tossing to coat.
Season lightly with salt and pepper,
then transfer to one half of the
prepared baking sheet. Roast for 10
minutes.
Meanwhile, place the bread cubes
in the same bowl, then drizzle with
olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
Season lightly with salt, pepper and
the garlic powder. Set aside.
To make the dressing, in a blender,
combine the olive oil, garlic, ancho-
vies, lemon juice, Dijon, pepper and 1
tablespoon of the Parmesan. Blend
until smooth. Set aside.
After the squash has roasted for
10 minutes, add the bread to the
other half of the baking sheet. Re-
turn to the oven for another 20
minutes. Remove the squash and
bread from the oven and set aside to
cool until still warm, but not hot.
Set the Romaine in a large
bowl, then drizzle with a bit of the
dressing and toss well. Divide
between 4 serving plates. Top
each serving with squash and
croutons, then drizzle with the
remaining dressing. Sprinkle each
serving with some of the remain-
ing Parmesan.

Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Ange-

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I am a
student at a commu-
nity college. One of
my classes is taught
by a great professor
who also works at a
state college.
After class with
him one night, I ended up walking
with him back to the parking lot. I
saw him get into another students
car. I waited a while without them
realizing I was there and ended up
seeing my professor and this student
smoking weed and fooling around.
I feel angry and betrayed knowing
he would put his career in danger. I
dont know whether I should report it
or not. What do you think?
Betrayed Student On the West
Coast
Dear Student: Unless you have AB-
SOLUTE PROOF that your professor
was smoking something other than
tobacco, I think you should keep
your mouth shut. Are you sure your
feelings of anger and betrayal arent
jealousy? Because you asked what
I think, Ill tell you: Mind your own
business.
Dear Abby: A year ago my husband
and I met a nice couple on a cruise.
We had so much fun with them we in-
vited them to our home for a visit.
While they were here I showed
them the photo album I had made
with our cruise pictures. They were
in most of them. It has been three
months since their visit and we
cant find the album. A few weeks
ago, while talking to the wife on the
phone I mentioned it. She said we
didnt show the album to them but
she wished we had. Abby, we know
we did!
Should I mention it again or just
make a new one and never invite
them back?
Missing More Than the Pictures?
Dear Missing: You appear to be see-
ing the picture clearly now. While
the couple may have been charming,
theyre not nearly as nice as you as-
sumed. If you want a record of your
cruise, by all means create a second
album.
Dear Abby: My boyfriend and I have
been together for 19 years. We have
three children and from the outside
looking in, you would think we have
a wonderful life. But my boyfriend
has been unfaithful numerous times,
which has caused me to have trust is-
sues and insecurities. I took him back
because I wanted our children to be
raised in a two-parent home.
The problem is, two years ago I
cheated on him. He found out by
tracking my phone, bugging the
house and monitoring my calls and
emails. He reminds me of it every
day. Im sorry it happened, but I still
have trust issues because I cant see
what he has been up to. Is this a rela-
tionship worth saving?
Good For the Gander Good For
the Goose
Dear Goose: Lets review your letter.
Nineteen years as a couple, three kids
and hes a serial cheater. You cheated
too, and your complaint is that you
cant monitor your boyfriends activi-
ties the way he is scrutinizing yours?
Although you say youre staying
together for the children, a household
filled with anger and suspicion isnt
healthy for them or for you. This is
not a relationship worth saving in my
book.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Student feels upset and betrayed after finding out professors secret
To receive a collection of Abbys most memo-
rable and most frequently requested po-
ems and essays, send a business-sized, self-
addressed envelope, plus check or money
order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear
Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box 447, Mount Mor-
ris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You like
people who can keep a secret.
You also like people who cant
keep a secret and are careful to
forewarn you of their inability.
Youll enjoy a connection with
someone who falls into one of
those categories today.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your
brain did amazing things last
night while you were sleep-
ing. You were healed, rebuilt
and refreshed. New ideas were
assimilated into who you are.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Wouldnt
it be wonderful to see and cre-
ate humor in more areas of your
life? Understanding whats so
funny will help you reduce stress,
be joyful and keep the good
times coming.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Even
the most devout, enlightened
people on the planet dont stay
connected with their joy at every
moment of every day. But youre
doing better and better.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Youll have
a good sense of your own atten-
tion span, which is on the short
side right now. Youll find brief,
to-the-point instructions quite
helpful, and youll avoid compli-
cated solutions.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your
opportunities will seem to sit
quietly, not wanting to draw
attention to themselves. New
prospects open up to the one
who is savvy enough to recog-
nize them as such and act.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). People
motivate themselves. You cannot
assume responsibility for making
anyones motivation happen. You
can, however, inspire people, and
that is just what youll do.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When
you smile at someone, you give
that person a gift. Youll be
generous in this way, delivering
something bright and lovely to
friends and strangers alike.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Youll influence others from a
distance. Your process is unde-
tectable (even you dont know
exactly how you are able to be
so persuasive), but the results
are undeniable.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Hiding your true emotions only
causes stress and strain. Honesty
sets you free. Say what you feel,
if not with words, then with your
facial expressions, body lan-
guage and actions.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You
treat others with kindness, but
you dont let them take advan-
tage of you. For many, this would
be a difficult balance to strike,
though it comes quite naturally
to you today.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The
way you relate to others is an
act of creativity. Exercise your
social muscle, especially through
humor. Keeping things light will
be the best way.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Feb. 29).
This truly special birthday is the
start of a passionate year. Youll
have to make a conscious effort
toward moderation, as personal
connections will have great
intensity and situations will bring
out heightened emotions. Work
becomes far more interesting in
March. May brings commitments
and lucrative contracts. Aries
and Taurus people adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 6, 24,
12, 49 and 10.

Street,57-59 Rees Street,13 Huston
Street,, Wilkes-Barre, PA.
FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
The City of Wilkes-Barre has determined
that the projects will have no significant
impact on the human environment. There-
fore, an Environmental Impact Statement
under the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Addi-
tional project information is contained in
each Environmental Review Record (ERR)

sion of a request for release of funds.
Comments should specify which Notice
they are addressing.
ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION
The City of Wilkes-Barre certifies to HUD

sents to accept the jurisdiction of the Fed-
eral Courts if an action is brought to

HUDs States approval of the certification
satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA
and related laws and authorities and

gram funds.

funds and the City of Wilkes-Barres certi-
fication for a period of fifteen days follow-
ing the anticipated submission date or its

ing bases: (a) the certification was not

Barre has omitted a step or failed to make
a decision or finding required by HUD reg-
ulations at 24 CFR part 58; (c) the grant
recipient or other participants in the devel-
opment process have committed funds,
incurred costs or undertaken activities not
authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before
approval of a release of funds by HUD; or

suant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted
a written finding that the project is unsat-
isfactory from the standpoint of environ-
mental quality. Objections must be pre-
pared and submitted in accordance with
the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58,
