WILKES-BARRE An attorney who repre-
sents 10 people allegedly defrauded by attor-
ney Anthony Lupas Jr. is questioning why fed-
eral prosecutors have not yet acted to arrest
Lupas on fraud charges.
Gavin Lentz of Philadelphia said, based on
documents he has seen, prosecutors have am-
ple evidence to charge Lupas with mail fraud
and wire fraud. Allowing Lupas to remain free
puts his clients at greater risk that Lupas may
take action to shield assets, he said.
All of my clients are asking the U.S. attor-
ney to make an arrest before he flees or per-
haps transfers more assets, Lentz said.
Theres already enough information to arrest
him for federal crimes, and were asking they
act.
Lentz said he has firsthand knowledge the
U.S. Secret Service and the state Attorney
Generals Office are investigating Lupas for

Borbon, 20, made the claim
minutes after he was arraigned
Wednesday on charges he nearly
severed the hand of a 15-year-old
boy with a machete during a fight
outside Wilkes-Barre Areas GAR

trict Attorney Stefanie Salavantis
said.

HARRISBURG A controver-
sial new law requiring anyone
castingavoteinastateelectionto
provide one of a handful of valid
photo identifications passed the
House on Wednesday along a
mostly party-line vote.
And its likely to impact voter
turnout locally,
according to
the director of
the Luzerne
County Bureau
of Elections.
The vote
Wednesday, af-
ter nearly three
days of conten-
tious debate, was 104-88, with
three Republicans joining every
one of the chambers 85 Demo-
crats in opposing the bill. All 104
votes infavor werecast byRepub-
licans. The Senate previously ap-
provedthe bill andGov. TomCor-
bett signed it into law later
Wednesday.
Democratic legislators, the
AARP, League of Women Voters,
American Civil Liberties Union
and other groups opposed the
bill, expressing concerns that el-
derly and minority voters could
be adversely impacted.
Lookingat thepitfalls, it could
diminish turnout come Novem-
ber, said Leonard C. Piazza III,
the director of the Luzerne Coun-
ty Bureau of Elections. Typical-
ly, we have very high numbers for
presidential elections. But 18 per-
cent of elderly Pennsylvanians do
not have photographic ID. That

CHICAGO Former Illinois
Gov. Rod Blagojevich embraced
the public spotlight one last time
Wednesday, claiming on the day
before he reports to prison that
he always believed what he did
was legal and expressing faith
that an appeal of his corruption
convictions will succeed.
The famously talkative Blago-
jevich seemed to relish the atten-
tion as he spoke to a throng of tel-
evision cameras, reporters and
well-wishers outside his Chicago
home less than 24 hours before
hewas duetoarriveat aColorado
prison to begin serving a 14-year
sentence. He was convicted on18
counts during two trials, includ-
ing charges that he tried to sell or
trade an appointment to Presi-
dent Barack Obamas vacated
Senate seat.
While my faith in things has
sometimes been challenged, I
still believe this is America, this
is a country that is governed by
the rule of law, that the truth ulti-
mately will prevail, the im-
peached governor said during an
event that seemed part farewell,
part campaign rally.
As bad as it is, (this) is the be-
ginning of another part of a long
and hard journey that will only
get worse before it gets better,
but that this is not over.
Supporters chanted free our
governor and hes not guilty,
and a banner hung over a railing
on Blagojevichs porch read:
Thanks Mr. Governor. We Will
Pray. After his statement, Blago-
jevich signed autographs and
chatted with supporters.
Standing beside his wife, the
55-year-old father of two daugh-
ters appearedemotional at times.
He said preparing to leave for
prison is the hardest thing Ive
ever done and that he had diffi-
culty even saying he was going to
prison.
But at other moments, he ap-
peared to be back on the cam-
paign stump, insisting that he al-
ways did what he thought was
right for Illinois.

Corruption briefing set
P

the Middle District of Pennsylva-
nia, and repre-
sentatives from the
Federal Bureau of
Investigation and
the Internal Reve-
nue Service-Crimi-
nal Investigation

A release from Smith said the
briefing is about a recent devel-

DUNMORE
I-81 rehabilitation begins
PennDOT has begun a major
improvement project on Interstate
81 in Lackawanna County.
The two-year, $30 million project
will take place between Exit 188
(Dunmore/Throop) and Exit 194
(Clarks Summit) and will consist of
the following:
Rehabilitation of a five-span steel
bridge over the Lackawanna River
Rehabilitation of a single-span
steel bridge over Main Avenue
Paving, drainage, and safety
improvements from Dunmore to
Clarks Summit
Removing a portion of the rock
slope to increase its distance from
the highway near Exit 191B (Scran-
ton Expressway).
The work is slated to finish in
May 2014.
WASHINGTON, D.C.
Casey pushes bridge law
U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Scranton,
secured passage of his bipartisan
amendment so Pennsylvanias coun-
ties are not left bearing the brunt of
the cost for repairs
to bridges not re-
ceiving federal aid.
The amendment
passed as part of a
bill to rebuild
Americas trans-
portation infras-
tructure and create
jobs.
Caseys amendment to the Mov-
ing Ahead for Progress in the 21st
Century Act would establish a dedi-
cated revenue stream through the
Off-System Bridge Program for
bridges that are not on federal aid or
the National Highway System.
More than one out of every four
off-system bridges across the coun-
try is structurally deficient or func-
tionally obsolete.
Of those, 35 percent are function-
ally obsolete.
LUZERNE COUNTY
County lawyers assigned
Two attorneys whose Luzerne
County government solicitorships
were eliminated by home rule have
been temporarily reassigned to the
countys new Central Law Office,
officials said Wednesday.
Former Assessors Office solicitor
David Schwager will continue hand-
ling property as-
sessment legal
matters and other
assignments.
Former Treasur-
ers Office solicitor
Michael Butera is
handling multiple
legal issues.
They are among
six Central Law Office assistant
solicitors paid $39,884.
Schwager previously received
$34,957, and Buteras prior compen-
sation was $19,450.
Former county chief solicitor Vito
DeLucas salary was reduced from
$59,812 to $39,884 because he is
one of the six assistants.
DeLuca did not apply for the chief
solicitorship because the attorney
who fills that post is prohibited from
having an outside practice.
County Manager Robert Lawton
has said he may re-advertise for a
chief solicitor to obtain more appli-
cations.
The Central Law Offices work-
load has significantly increased
because several abolished row offic-
es and other departments no longer
have their own solicitors, DeLuca
said.

DUNMORE Months after he died
in June, Jack Froese has kept in touch
with his family and friends, or so it
seems to them.
The Dunmore resident died in his
sleep from a heart arrhythmia, but his
email account generated several mess-
ages since, each containing information
only the receiver and Froese would
know about, recipients said.
Patty Froese, Jacks mother, and his
sister, Sarah Veater, said they have no
explanation for how the emails were
sent. They dont know
if someone other than
Jack sent them and,
frankly, they dont
want to know. They
prefer to think that
Jack sent them from
beyond the grave and
any other explanation
just doesnt matter.
I guess I want to know why I didnt
get one, Patty Froese said. I guess it
bothers me a little, but maybe one day
I will get one.
They have checked Jacks computer,
but they cant access his account no
one knows his password.
Yet the emails came from Jacks
account through November. His com-
puter has been unplugged for months
and sits under a chair in his room,
Patty Froese said.
The story has gotten the attention of
international and national media. AOL
and Yahoo posted a video done by the
BBC about the story on Wednesday.
Matt Danzico, a reporter with the
BBC, grew up in Northeastern Penn-
sylvania and was a friend of Froeses.
He learned of the story when home for
Christmas and put together the video.
The New York Daily News ran a
short story on Tuesday.
This has been extremely tough
because Jack was such a big part of all
of our lives, Veater said.
Thats why when her cousin, Jimmy
McGraw, and a friend, Tim Art, walked
into the Froese home in late November,
everybody was taken aback. The two
men showed the family the emails that
included information known only be-
tween McGraw, Art and Froese. But
Incoming messages from departed relative have information only receiver would know
Family receiving emails from beyond?

Restoration of the eastern entrance to
the historic Luzerne County Courthouse
is nearly complete, which will end years
of complaints about the buildings ne-
glected appearance along busy River
Street.
The exterior staircase has a newsup-
port systemfor the original granite
steps, and the sandstone cladding on the
base of the stair landing is in the process
of being cleaned up and sealed, said
county Chief Engineer Joe Gibbons.
Anewdecorative handrail and letter-
ing identifying the courthouse also will
spruce up the entrance, Gibbons said.
Some of the old letters had been mis-
sing.
The River Street side was the main
entrance to the courthouse until security
screening equipment was installed at
the roomier southern entrance several
years ago.
Courthouse visitors once again will
use the River Street entrance starting
sometime next month, but only while
renovations to the south side exterior
entrance are completed, Gibbons said.
Exterior stair repairs were added to
the latest $5.2 million phase of the cour-
thouse restoration project after the
county building and grounds depart-
ment noticed some settling of steps,
Gibbons said.
The staircase on the north side was
refurbished first, but that entrance will
be used only in emergencies, he said.
Contractors also will apply high-
performance gray waterproof coating to
the terra cotta tiles on the main dome
and four smaller ones this spring as part
of the project, he said. The old white
coating was scraped and rubbed from
the tiles, which meant the stripped
domes had to be covered with plastic to
prevent further water
damage in the interim.
Exterior stone and
decorative finishes
also have been
cleaned, repaired and
repointed, and roof-
line edges and over-
hangs will be capped
with a durable flashing
that has grayish tint
complementing the
future color of the
domes.
Tests showed the
domes were light gray when the build-
ing was constructed a century ago.
Work on the upper portion of the
building was designed to stop leaks that
have been damaging the interior.
Aspecial two-person lift will be set up
in the courthouse rotunda, probably
next month, to allowinspectors to take
samples of water-damaged artwork and

WILKES-BARRE As she waited for
her order at a nearby Dominos Pizza,
Norene Amico couldnt hear the conver-
sationbetweena manandwomanstand-
ing near the Susquehanna River in Pitt-
ston on March 11, 2011.
The river level was higher than nor-
mal and the water raging loudly, Amico
testified Wednesday, but she could see
the woman pacing back and forth with
her arms crossed and
the man speaking and
gesturing.
Little did Amico
know she would later
be called to testify at a
homicide trial in
which prosecutors say
the woman, Lillian Ca-
labro, was killed by Ar-
thur Stoss at the nearby Riverfront Park.
I didnt call (the cops), and Ive re-
gretted it ever since, Amico said of the
two people, who she feared were too
close to the water.
Amico testified in the second day of
Stoss trial on homicide charges in Cala-
bros death, as did two of Stoss family
members and state police forensic scien-
tists.
Testimony will resume this morning.
Judge William Amesbury said he ex-
pects the jury to begin deliberations late
Friday morning.
Amico said she admired the womans
white crocheted hat and could see her
blonde hair, and said she was wearing a
black trench coat and black boots. The
man, Amico said, was facing her direc-
tion and had brown hair and was wear-
ing a brown jacket.
I didnt know if I should mind my
business or call the cops, Amico said,
becoming emotional.
Prosecutors also called Stoss sister
and brother to testify Wednesday. They
saidthey were drinking withtheir broth-
er beginning at around 1:30 p.m. March
11.
I heard him say, Someone is gonna
die (tonight), Linda Redmond, Stoss
sister testified about the night she was
drinking with her siblings at her brother
Richards home. He wasnt joking I
took him seriously.
Redmond said she left her brothers
Exeter home anddidnt see Arthur Stoss
until the next day, when he was back at
Richard Stoss home, pacing wildly back
and forth.
He had scratches on his arm and
hand that werent there Friday, Red-
mond said. He told me he was in a hor-
rible fight.
Redmond said she then heard Arthur
Stoss on the phone talking to his daugh-
ter, Jennifer Milazzo, when Stoss said,
Why the (expletive) did you turn me
in?
Redmond said he asked her brother
what he was talking about.
She turned me in for killing Lillian,
Redmond said he answered.
Prosecutors also called two forensic
scientists to testify about DNA samples
foundonseveral items of evidence inthe
case.

American Civil Liberties
Union hasnt sent anyone to

ACLUattorney Mary Cathe-
rine Roper said Wednesday
she has not yet reviewed a
complaint filed by Frank Sor-
ick, president of the Wilkes-

ation. Sorick filed the com-
plaint last weekafter Linda Ur-
ban and Bob Kadluboski were
ordered removed from the
council meeting for being dis-
ruptive.
We are making an effort to
get our observers back there,
she said. But theres norule of
silence that
says people
have tojust sit
there and not

arent disrupt-
ing the meet-

Roper said the ACLU has
been concerned about free-
dom of speech issues at city
council meetings for some
time, often sending volunteer
observers to watch the meet-
ingsandreport back. But those
volunteers are no longer avail-
able, Roper said.
People who are honest-to-

Roper said. But the first time
they talk out of turn shouldnt
be enough to remove them.

KINGSTON -- During
Wednesday nights meeting, a
resident told the Wyoming Val-
ley West School Board that all
the girls soccer games have
been scheduled at 4:15 p.m. ex-
cept for the Senior Night game.
He asked if some of the
games could be played under
the lights so that parents could
more easily attend.
The resident said he was told
by District Athletic Supervisor
Sandy Mackay that the board
schedules athletic events and
that he should ask the board
about a possible change.
The board assured the resi-
dent that it does not make any
decisions regarding athletic
scheduling. We dont make
that schedule, Board Member
Thomas Pieczynski said.
Superintendent Chuck Sup-
pon said he would see if the
schedule could be adjusted. I
will meet personally with
Mackay and the coach.
Another resident expressed
concern about reports of in-
creased fighting at the middle
school and asked what is being
done.
With 1,100 students of that
age, you are going to have inci-
dents. Personally, I havent
heard that theres been an in-
crease, Suppon said.
He said that if there has been
an increase in altercations that
there would be a response by
the administration.
The following coaches were
appointed by the board for the
fall season: Gary Mack, varsity
golf; Jim Zimmerman, varsity
girls tennis; Joe Czopek, varsi-
ty girls volleyball; Linda Fith-
ian, varsity field hockey; Char-
les Whited, varsity boys soccer;
Frank Tribendis, water polo;
and Pat Keating for both
weightlifting and varsity foot-
ball.
The board has accepted the
resignation of seven teachers
due to retirement. When asked
after the meetingif those teach-
ers are being replaced, Board
President John Gill said the po-
sitions are under review.
In other business, the board
signed a $3,000 agreement
with WVIAfor educational ser-
vices.
The board also amended
their agreement with Aramark
and agreed to pay $8,345 be-
cause of increased costs caused
by four school closing days.

RICETWP. Supervisor Marcia
Thomas repeatedly asked at Tues-
day nights supervisors meeting
that township meeting agendas,
minutes and other documents be
made available to her in advance.
Thomas said she felt the town-
shipwasbeingrunbytheothertwo
supervisors and she was not being
given ample time to review infor-
mation that would require a vote.
Supervisors voted in favor of a
resolution that requires any official
correspondence bearing the town-
ships nametobereadfirst bySolic-
itor WilliamHiggs.
Thomas said she was not aware
of the resolution until 4 that after-
noon. She voted against it.
Supervisor George Venesky said
thesolicitor might readonlytwoor
three emails a month as regular
township business needs no solic-
itor approval.
This is not a massive undertak-
ing, Venesky said. He said the res-
olution came about after Thomas
sent an email to a state Depart-
ment of Environmental Protection
agent concerning anonymous sew-
age complaints against residents
that were filed with the depart-
ment and turned out to be ficti-
tious.
Because I wrote a letter to the
DEP signed Marcia Thomas, Su-
pervisor, noweveryletter hastogo
through the solicitor? Thomas
asked.
Shesaidshesent theemail at the
suggestion of a third party, whom
she requested not be named, to in-
form the department that all vic-
tims of the false complaints had in-
teractions with the supervisors
some time before the complaints.
Youare not talkingabout fly-by-
nights. These are people (who) are
involved with the community,
Thomas said. The false-complaint
victims had spoken out against de-
cisions madebysupervisors Venes-
ky and Miller Stella.
When Stella asked Higgs if he
thought the email could be per-
ceived as slanderous, Higgs said
that it could be read that way but
said later that he thought it could
go the other way.
Venesky said documents are
made available to all the supervi-
sors at the same time and Higgs
said the resolution was not official-
ly added to the agenda until earlier
that day.
Higgs also said the resolution
might have been avoided if poten-
tially volatile correspondence was
signed by individuals acting on
their own behalf, not on behalf of
the township.

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN
Crash near Panettas plane
A
n Afghan driver somehow caught
fire Wednesday when he crashed a
stolen truck as U.S. Secretary of De-
fense Leon Panettas plane was landing
nearby, officials said.
No one in Panettas party was hurt,
said a Pentagon spokesman, Navy
Capt. John Kirby.
In the bizarre incident, the pickup
traveled at high speed and crashed into
a ditch near the ramp where Panettas
plane was going to park at the British
airfield in Helmand province in south-
ern Afghanistan.
Suddenly the driver caught on fire,
but the truck did not explode, said Col.
Gary Kolb, a U.S. military spokesman
in Afghanistan, countering earlier
reports that the vehicle burst into
flames. The driver was treated for
burns.
TEHRAN, IRAN
Lawmakers grill Iran leader
It was literally a command perform-
ance in Iranian political theater: Presi-
dent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was
dragged Wednesday before parliament
to face unprecedented questioning over
his policies, suffering another blow
from hard-line opponents who now
have the upper hand.
The full hour of posturing, potshots
and probing broadcast live on Ira-
nian radio was a lesson in the un-
forgiving realities of Irans two-tier
political system and how it shapes all
critical decisions, such as Tehrans
nuclear program and its standoff with
the West.
The ruling Islamic clerics retain
ultimate control over every key aspect
of political, military and industrial
affairs, including hand-picking the top
posts in the government. When Ah-
madinejad offered some resistance, the
blowback was harsh, with one-time
conservative backers breaking away
and the ruling system launching politi-
cal purges of his allies.
BOSTON
Bulgers ex pleads guilty
The longtime girlfriend of former
mob boss James Whitey Bulger
pleaded guilty Wednesday to charges
she helped Bulger evade capture dur-
ing 16 years on the run.
In a deal with prosecutors, Catherine
Greig pleaded guilty to charges of
conspiracy to harbor a fugitive, identity
fraud and conspiracy to commit identi-
ty fraud.
Bulger, who was captured with Greig
last year in Santa Monica, Calif., has
pleaded not guilty to charges of partici-
pating in 19 murders.

Rebels low on cash, arms
Two significant defeats at the hands
of Syrian government troops have
exposed the limitations of the countrys
rebel forces: They are low on cash,
running out of weapons and facing a
fiercely loyal military that will fight to
the death.
Insisting that their drive to oust
President Bashar Assad by force re-
mains strong, the Free Syrian Army
says the arms shortage is the main
obstacle.
Send us money, were desperate.
Send us weapons, Ahmad Kassem,
who coordinates military operations
for the FSA, told The Associated Press
in an interview. We dont need fight-
ers. We have excess men who can fight,
but we need weapons to protect our
land and honor.

22 children killed in tourist bus crash
A tourist bus slammed head-on into a
concrete wall in a Swiss Alps tunnel
Tuesday, killing 28 people, mostly
children returning from a ski vacation.
Twenty-two school children and six
adults including the driver were killed
and another 24 children were hospi-
talized in what the police chief de-
scribed as a scene like a war.
KABUL, AfghanistanThe American
soldier accused of shooting16 Afghan vil-
lagers in a pre-dawn killing spree was
flown out of Afghanistan on Wednesday
evening, the U.S. military said.
The soldier was taken out of Afghanis-
tan based on a legal recommendation,
said Navy Capt. John Kirby, a Pentagon
spokesman.
We do not have appropriate detention
facilities in Afghanistan, he said, ex-
plaining that he was referring to a facility
for a U.S. service member in this kind of
case.
The soldier was taken aboard a U.S.
military aircraft to a pretrial confine-
ment facility in another country, a U.S.
military official said, without saying
where. The official, who spoke anony-
mously because he was not authorized to
release the information publicly, would
not confirm if that meant an American
military base or another type of facility.
Kirbysaidthe move didnot necessarily
mean the trial would be held outside Af-
ghanistan, but the other military official
said legal proceedings would continue
elsewhere. The soldier has not yet been
charged.
Afghan lawmakers had demanded that
the soldier be publicly tried in Afghanis-
tan to showthat he was being brought to
justice, calling on President Hamid Kar-
zai to suspend all talks with the U.S.
about an long-term military presence
here until that happens.
Many fear a misstep by the U.S. mili-
tary in handling the case could ignite a
firestormin Afghanistan that would shat-
ter already tense relations.
The alliance between Afghanistan and
the U.S. military already appeared near
the breaking point last month when the
burning of Qurans in a garbage pit at a
U.S. base sparkedprotests andretaliatory
attacks that killed more than 30 people,
including six U.S. soldiers.
In recent days the two countries made
headway towardanagreement governing
a long-term American presence in the
country, but the shootings in Kandahar
province on Sunday have called all such
negotiations into question.

WASHINGTON Leaders
of the United States and Bri-
tain outlined plans Wednes-
day to shift the NATO war ef-
fort in Afghanistan toward a
back-seat advisory role while
Afghan forces increasingly
take the lead, but stressedthat
the two nations remain com-
mitted to the mission there.
President Barack Obama
gave his fullest endorsement
yet for the mission shift, but
he said the overall plan to
gradually withdrawforces and
hand over security in Afghan-
istan will stand.
Obama said he anticipates
nosudden, immediate chang-
es to the plan we already
have, for bringing forces
home.
The United States and Bri-
tain have the largest fighting
forces in Afghanistan, where
the combat is in its 11th year.
The U.S., Britain and other
NATO nations have already
agreed to keep forces in the
country through 2014, when
Afghan President Hamid Kar-
zai will leave office.
At the upcoming NATO
summit in my hometown of
Chicago, well determine the
next phase of transition, Oba-
ma said following a private
meeting at the White House
with visiting British Prime
Minister David Cameron.
This includes shifting to a
support role next year in 2013
in advance of Afghans taking
full responsibility for security
in 2014. Were going to com-
plete this mission and were
going to do it responsibly.
Obama acknowledged the
drop in public support at
home for the war. People get
weary, after long wars, the
president said, but he alsosaid
he thinks most people in both
the U.S. and Britain under-
stand the reasons for contin-
uing the fight.
Cameron, who joined Oba-

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico The Re-
publican presidential contest rumbled
into Puerto Rico on Wednesday as a
two-man race, with Rick Santorum nip-
ping more aggressively at Mitt Rom-
neys heels after again frustrating the
front-runner in Southern primaries.
Former House Speaker Newt Gin-
grich, with little to showfor pinning his
hopes on the South, nonetheless vowed
to stay in. His deputy campaign manag-
er outlined a strategy aimed at denying
Romney a clean win in the delegate race
and making Gingrichs case along the
waytotheRepublicanconventioninAu-
gust.
But after taking Tuesdays primaries
in Alabama and Mississippi, Santorum
called for the partys faithful to unite be-
hind him alone.
Now is the time to pull together,
Santorum declared to conservatives in
Lafayette, La., a state voting next week.
Unbowed by two third-place finishes,
Romney notedhis strongleadinthe del-
egate race after Tuesday nights four
contests. Romney won the Hawaii cau-
cuses and all nine delegates up for grabs
in American Samoas caucuses.
I am pleased that we will be increas-
ingour delegate count ina verysubstan-
tial way after tonight, he said in a state-
ment. Santorums two Southern wins
gain him little or no ground in the dele-
gate count, despite their symbolic
weight coming after his victories last
week in Tennessee and Oklahoma.
The race now turns to caucuses Sat-
urday in Missouri, where Santorumand
Romney already have invested substan-
tial time, and Puerto Ricos primary on
Sunday.
Romney already is moving to dom-
inate the airwaves in Illinois, which will
offer a hefty 54delegates invotingTues-
day. His campaign has put down almost
$1million for Illinois TVadvertising, on
top of $2.4 million spent there by a sup-
portive super PAC.
Romney, Santorum now head to head
Gingrich unbowed despite apparent
knockout blow in the South. Romney
bets big on Illinois advertisements.

HARRISBURG Former U.S.
Rep. Patrick Murphys campaign
forstateattorneygeneral gathered
momentumintheearlymonths of
the year as he outraisedhis Demo-
cratic primary opponent by more
than5-1, accordingtocampaignfi-
nance reports provided Wednes-
day by state and
campaign offi-
cials.
Murphys
campaign took
in more than
$305,000 since
thebeginningof
the year, con-
trasted with
$58,000 in con-
tributions to
Kathleen Kane,
a former Lacka-
wanna County
prosecutor.
Murphy, a former two-term
congressman whose campaign re-
ceived generous support from or-
ganized labor, reported $1.2 mil-
lion in the bank as of the reports
March 5 closeout. Kane, who has
relied primarily on a $1.8 million
loan from her husband, main-
tained a balance of nearly $2 mil-
lion.
The race is one of two for the
statewide row offices in the April
24 primary.
In the other contest, for the Re-
publican nomination for auditor
general, state Rep. John Maher of
Allegheny County reported a bal-
ance of $101,000, thanks largely to
a $25,000 contribution from Gov.
Tom Corbetts campaign commit-
tee and a $20,000 loan from the
candidate.
Mahers opponent, Frank Pinto
of DauphinCounty, reportedabal-
ance of $18,000 after loaning his
campaign $15,000. Pinto is a for-
mer president of the Pennsylvania
Community Bankers Association.
In the attorney generals race,
Philadelphia labor unions led the
contributions to Murphy, who re-
ceived $25,000 from Local 98 of

each fromlocals of the Communi-
cations Workers of America and

DURYEA A former youth
camp volunteer at the Inde-
pendent Bible Church was
charged Wednesday with sex-
ually molesting two boys from
1999 to 2005.
Vito Joseph Russo, 40, of
Evans Street, Duryea, surren-
dered on two felony counts of
endangering the welfare of chil-
dren and two misdemeanor
counts eachof indecent assault,
corruption of minors and inde-
cent exposure. He was ar-
raigned by Senior District
Judge Andrew Barilla in Pitt-
ston and jailed at the Luzerne
County Correctional Facility
for lack of $40,000 bail.
In an unrelated case, Russo
was free on $20,000 bail on four
counts of indecent assault in-
volving a child that were filed
by state police at Honesdale in
Wayne County in January.
According to the criminal
complaints:
State police in Honesdale in-
vestigating Russo in January
learned information that he
might have molested two boys
at his house in Duryea.
Duryea Police Chief Nicholas
Lohman questioned Russo,
who allegedly admitted to hav-
ing sexual contact with a boy
from1999 to 2002, and another
boy from 2002 to 2005, accord-
ing to the criminal complaints.
One of the boys toldpolice he
met Russo when he was 9 years
old, and the other boy was 8
years old.
The two boys alleged Russo
picked them up in the church
van taking them to youth camp
or other churchfunctions. They
alleged they were molested
while staying at Russos house,
the criminal complaints say.
Russo allegedly told one of
the boys not to tell anyone
about his lewd acts.
The younger boy told police
Russo often told children who
were13 or 14 years old not to at-
tend youth activities because
they were getting older.
One of the boys toldpolice he
was relieved to report the alle-
gations because it has been
haunting him for years, ac-
cording to the criminal com-
plaints.
A preliminary hearing is
scheduled on March 21.

WILKES-BARRETWP. Man-
agement at Mohegan Sun Arena
wants to know what patrons
think about the food there.
SMG, the company contracted
with the Luzerne County Con-
ventionCenter Authoritytoman-
age the arena, recently rolled out
a program to solicit feedback
from customers at the arenas
concessions, arena manager Re-
becca Bonnevier said at a board
meeting on Wednesday.
The feedback solicitation, a
new part of SMGs Connect Pro-
gram, involves distributing com-
ment cards at the concession
stands that ask about the quality
of the food, customer service and
pricing. Patrons can respond on-
line or by mail, Bonnevier said.
Werewardthemfor their feed-
back with a free item, she said.
Response was good, with 30
comments in the first two days.
Bonnevier said a longtime as-
pect of the Connect program in-
volves annual customer service
seminars for employees.
In her managers report, Bon-
nevier also noted that:
During a thorough two-day
inspection of the arena with Op-
erations Director Fred Paisley,
they found constant roof leaks to
be an area of concern. Leaks have
been fixed by patching, but Bon-
nevier noted there are two years
left on the roof warranty and the
board should consider options to
address the leak issue.
Panels on the video score-
board are going out faster than
we can fix them and manage-
ment is looking at options on
how to address the problem.
A contract with Taylor Con-
sulting to buy electricity as part
of a group is expected to save the
arena up to $70,000 this year.
While meeting with agents
in Los Angeles, New York and
New Jersey recently, Bonneiver
was able to secure bookings for
four new shows, although she
wouldnt release details in ad-
vanceof plannedannouncements
by the agents. She didsay the are-
na will feature a brand new
show this year on April 1 a mo-
torcycle show with the Wyoming
Valley Motorcycle Association.
In other business, the board:
Approved a motion by Chair-
womanDonna Cupinski tosolicit
bids to apply sealant and repaint
lines in the VIP parking lots, on
the road between them and on
the main entrance road. Its ex-
pected to cost about $40,000.
Approved a motion by Dave
Palermo, chairman of the ad hoc
Club Seats and Suites Commit-
tee, to seek bids to renovate the
party box suite at a cost not to ex-
ceed $14,000. Renovations would
include newcountertops, cabine-
try, flooring and HDTVs. He
hopes renovations can be com-
plete before the end of hockey
season so potential leasers for
next season can see it.

KINGSTON TWP. The
Board of Supervisors voted
Wednesday to join the Back
Mountain Regional Emergency
Management Agency.
The agency, which also in-
cludes Dallas Borough and Dal-
las, Jackson and Lehman town-
ships, was created in late 2010 as
a formal agreement among
emergency responders to work
together inthe event of emergen-
cies.
Supervisor Chairman James
Reino Jr. said the board wanted
to ensure emergency responders
in Kingston Township had input
about the venture before signing
any documents.
Joiningwill onlyimprove nec-
essary communication and im-
prove cooperation between the
towns to ensure better service to
citizens during emergency situa-
tions, he said.
Reinosaidthere was always in-
tent to join, but the meeting
among all appropriate emergen-
cy officials within the township
happened just recently.
The board also voted on sever-
al motions related to upcoming
spring and summer events in the
township, including the yard
waste pickup, summer recre-
ation program and spring road
inspection.
The spring yard waste pickup
will be held April 16-20.
The township manager was
authorized to advertise for one
supervisor, five full-time employ-
ees and two part-time employees
for the summer recreation pro-
gram.
The spring road inspection,
whichis conductedtodetermine
what work needs to be done on
which roads, will be held at May
6 at 9 a.m.
The board will hold a public
hearing at the supervisors meet-
ing April 11 at 7:30 p.m. to dis-
cuss proposed changes to the
alarmordinance. The alarmordi-
nance refers to the $50 registra-
tion residents must pay when an
alarmsystemis installed in their
houses.
Township Manager Kathleen
Sebastian said the ordinance is
being updated to reflect the fee
schedule voted upon in January,
but the $50 registration fee will
not change.
The board also noted the
township cannot accept elec-
tronics during its spring cleanup
this year. Residents can drop off
printers, TVs and computers at
the Viewmont Mall parking lot
March 16-18 at a free electronic
recycling service.

LUZERNE -- Borough Council
on Wednesday officially adopted
an ordinance establishing fines
for landlords whose tenants are
deemed to be repeat nuisances.
The boroughwill provide land-
lords with two warnings before
citing themfor $100 on a third re-
ported incident at one of their
properties. A fourth incident
would result in a $200 fine while
additional incidents wouldresult
in fines of $300.
Actions will also be taken
against the individual residents
responsible for the public dis-
turbance.
The council voted 6-0 to adopt
the ordinance. Councilman Kurt
Santayana was absent.
The council also voted to
award a one-year contract to Bill
Bolavage for bookkeeping servic-
es. Bolavage had provided the
same services in 2011 but pre-
ferred to have a contract going
forward.
The contract was originally
scheduled to be voted on during
the February council meeting
but was tabled so that the con-
tract could be reviewed in grea-
ter detail. This vote to approve
was 6-0.
Also on Wednesday, Mayor
James Keller said borough police
will have a zero-tolerance
stance on pet owners who do not
clean up after their dogs when
droppings are left in public or on
the property of others.
Keller said this was a particu-
lar problemfor some of the elder-
ly within the town who do not
own pets and are occasionally
physically unable to clean up the
messes left by dogs and cats.
Council President Mike Jan-
cuska saidfines for suchbehavior
range from $50 to $300 and bor-
ough Solicitor Jonathan Spohrer
reminded residents they would
have to be willing to report inci-
dents as well as testify in court if
violators are to be properly repri-
manded.
Many in the audience support-
ed the statements of the mayor
andcouncil members but empha-
sized Luzernes problem with
stray cats. Councilwoman Mary
Ellen Schell described the cat sit-
uation as way out of control.
Police Chief Patty ODonnel
confirmed there is an excessive
amount of seemingly stray cats
and pointed out the felines repro-
duce frequently and are extreme-
ly difficult to catch.
Spohrer said it was difficult to
go after pet owners in cases of
stray cats but promised to look
into revising the current pet ordi-
nance or establishing a new one
that pertained to cats.
In other business, the borough
announced that the annual East-
er Egg Hunt will be held Sunday,
April 1 in the Lower Charles
Street Playground at 1 p.m. In
case of rain, the event will be on
Saturday, April 7.
The department of parks and
recreation is currently seeking
donations and volunteers for the
Easter Egg hunt. Those interest-
ed are advised contact members
of the parks and recreation de-
partment at (570) 331-2266 or

S
tate Rep. Phyllis Mundy, D-Kingston, welcomed the PIAA Class 2A state champion
Wyoming Seminary field hockey team to the Capitol on Wednesday. Clearly, these
young women are shining examples of talent and dedication as well as personal sacri-
fice and impressive commitment to their sport, Mundy said. Im sure many of them will
go on to become leaders. Team members and coaches were recognized in the House
chamber, and Mundy presented them with House citations. The Knights won the state
championship in November by defeating Villa Maria. It gave them back-to-back titles
and five state championships since 2001.
Blood found on a number of
Calabros items belonged to Cala-
bro, the scientists said, while
DNA found on Stoss brown jack-
et, boots and jeans belonging to
Stoss.
During an autopsy of Calabros
body, which was found in the riv-
er near Kirby Park in Wilkes-
Barre on March 21, investigators
performed sexual assault testing,
also known as a rape kit.
Joseph Kekosky, a DNA foren-
sic scientist, testified semen
found during the testing was 4.6
quadrillion times more likely to
be from a white male than any
other randomly selected male
from another population and ap-
proximately 6 quadrillion times
more likely from Arthur Stoss
thanany other male randomly se-
lected.

WILKES-BARRE City police
reported the following:
Amother and her son jump-
ed out a third floor windowat
294 Coal St. to escape gunfire
late Tuesday night, city police
said.
Police said a man known as
B fired at least three rounds at
the apartment, forcing a 22-year-
old mother and her son to jump
out the window. The mother was
taken to a hospital for treatment,
police said.
Police believe the gunman, a
relative to the mother, was vis-
iting the apartment and was
asked to leave. He refused and
was shot by the son with a pellet
gun.
The gunman left and returned
with a handgun, firing at least
three shots at the apartment in
the Interfaith Apartment Com-
plex.
Police said they found the
mother and her son lying on the
ground at about 11:55 p.m.
Police Chief Gerard Dessoye
said those involved in the in-
cident are known to each other.

The public open floor before

the flood donations and police
business.
Resident Mary Rugletic of

flood donations given to Duryea
residents through an account at

DURYEA Borough councils
meeting Tuesday night erupted
into an argument over a project
on Railroad Street.
Council President Audrey Mar-
cinko had given the job of insert-
ing and covering pipe in an open
ditch on Railroad Street to Bejes-
ki Construction. Municipalities
are not required to seek bids on
projects costing less than
$10,000.
Bejeski billed the borough
$3,940 and the piping cost about
$5,542.
Council member Al Akulonis
Jr. brought up the issue because
Marcinko awarded the job with-
out consulting council first.
Council member Michael
Sheknows of afamilywithchil-
dren she wishes to give her pro-
ceeds to, even though her home
was unlivable for six months.
Marcinko said the council
shouldnt be the ones to deter-
mine that.
It was agreed a committee of
residents affected by the flood
should determine the details.
Volunteers can contact the bor-
ough to be on the committee.

lice officer Michael Rosemellia a

there havent been any messag-

One email dealt with Arts
house. He was remodeling it
and the attic was to become a
master bedroom. He showed it
to Froese and Jack joked that it
could be his room someday.
In the email received after
Froeses death, Jack told Art to
get the attic cleaned up. Other
emails were titled, Im watch-
ing.
Sean Loughney was making a
guitar for Froese, who had re-
quested a special wood that was
difficult to work with. McGraw
put the unfinished guitar in
Froeses casket. The email he re-
ceived from Froese included an
apology.
He told Jimmy he was sorry
about the wood, Patty Froese
said.
McGraw broke his leg some-
time after Froese died. Another
email from Froese noted he had
warnedMcGrawabout his weak
ankles. You got to be careful,
the email said.
I like to think its somehow
him letting us know hes still
OK, Veater said. Like hes
watching out over us and he
sees what we are doing.
Froeses family and friends re-
main hopeful the emails will re-
sume.
It makes us feel good think-
ing that its him, Veater said.
That he got to come through to
us one more time. If it isnt him,
okay; we dont want to ruin the
feeling that we have heard from
him.
Patty says she really doesnt
want to know where they came
from or who may have sent
them.
All I know is that this makes
everyone feel good, she said.

Chairman Mike Merritt gaveled

on appointing former city human

sen to the citys planning commis-
sion. Once the confusion was re-
solved, council deadlocked 2-2
and Jensen was not appointed to
the panel.
Roper said council is entitled to
run a meeting without interfe-
rence. She said she will review
Soricks complaint and watch a
video of the meeting to evaluate
what happened.
Roper said many elected offi-

These people arent profes-

missed the memo that when you
work for the public, you will be

Councilman Clif Madrack

ing they hear complaints on a
daily basis about neglected
properties throughout the bor-

up is tough, and council wants
residents to see just howhardit
is and maybe provide some
fresh ideas on howto deal with
the problem.
We have to get this town
cleaned up, said Madrack. Its
ridiculous.
Madrack suggested forming a
committee of citizens that would
meet to discuss the problem and
brainstorm ideas to combat it.
Currently, the borough has 22
rundown properties with about
two more added to the list each
year, said Madrack.

PSU trustees pile insults
on to Paternos legacy
W
ell, I have read it all now! Not only
did the Penn State University trust-
ees do a gross injustice to one of the
finest coaches and builders of young men
this country will ever see, they now have
the audacity to come out and besmirch his
name yet again, after he is dead.
The so-called failure of leadership
starts and stops with the presidents office
and the entire board of trustees. Period!
Leaders do not blame; they take respon-
sibility. Leaders do not hide behind state-
ments and accusations; they are upfront,
honest and direct.
For the trustees to hide behind a state-
ment such as the one issued Monday only
further reinforces how seemingly inept the
board is at managing the universitys mat-
ters. The manner in which they fired Joe
Paterno, and the manner in which they
continue to drag his very good name
through the mud, is appalling.
They should do the right thing: Resign
and turn the matters and concerns of PSU
over to a far more competent group.

Trustees latest statement
deemed same old bunk
T
he Penn State Board of Trustees strikes
again.
Why issue another statement stating
their same position at this time? All this
statement did was reinforce the perception
that the board of trustees is collectively
covering its backside.
To continue to say that coach Joe Pa-
terno did not exhibit leadership does not
make sense. Joe did, in fact, report this
situation to the proper legal authorities.
Former senior vice president Gary
Schultz was the de facto chief of police for
Penn State. Then-Attorney General Tom
Corbett knew of the investigation years
ago. To say that the board of trustees did
not know before November 2011 seems
total nonsense.
In response to Mr. Keith Eckels state-
ment that we can believe the board of
trustees statement or not: I dont.

Contraceptives deserve

I was wondering why we havent heard
of a similar warning being applied to oral
contraceptives? The World Health Orga-

oral contraceptives to an increased cancer

If you dont believe me, use an online

Problems aplenty besides
free co-ed birth control
T
he recent birth control/contraception
fiasco would be laughable if it werent
so absurd.
Its just another diversion tactic used by
the current administration to take our eyes
off of the real problems facing our nation:
high gas prices, high unemployment, as-
tronomical $16 trillion debt, an unbeliev-
able $100 billion wasted on failed green
energy projects.
All these important issues our country
is on the brink and this is what our presi-
dent focuses on?
You mean to tell me that a 30-year-old
law student at Georgetown University
cant afford her birth control pills? Are
there no Planned Parenthood offices in the
Washington, D.C., area to provide this
poor girl with free pills?
But go ahead place another burden on
the backs of the American people by way
of higher health care premiums to pay for
those pills. Heck, why stop at the pills?
Lets chip in for dinner and a movie, too!
My children have asthma and allergies
(not their choice), and I pay for their medi-
cations, inhalers, etc. I dont expect anyone
else to foot the bill. Yet Ms. Fluke wants
free birth control pills for her recreational
sex (her choice). Give me a break!
Dont be fooled. Dont be distracted.
Vote in November. Vote for someone
who will tackle the serious issues facing
our nation and not divert our attention to
meaningless sideshows.

Writer: Forego any circus
that uses wild animals
I
am deeply concerned by the Shriners
decision to once again bring a circus
with performing wild animals to the
Kingston armory.
The elephants, big cats, primates and
other wild animals used in circuses endure
inhumane and abusive training and living
conditions. They are chained and caged
unless they are performing. They have
little protection at state and federal levels.
Wild animals also pose a real threat to
public safety precisely because they are
wild and therefore unpredictable. No
amount of training or affection can elim-
inate this danger.
Animal welfare advocates have been
urging the Shriners to sponsor events that
do not involve wild animals, such as hu-
man-only circuses, craft fairs and concerts.
As an enlightened society it is time to
end the suffering, deprivation and exploita-
tion of other living beings used for human
entertainment.

Reader faults Rep. Toohil
over failed promises
S
tate Rep. Tarah Toohil has failed to
eradicate the immigrant and minority
populations from Hazleton.
Prior to being elected, Toohil led us to
believe that she would be an active cham-
pion of driving immigrants out of Hazle-
ton. Since that time, she has done abso-
lutely nothing to attain this goal. Toohil
said that she would eliminate food AC-
CESS cards. Then, she apparently joined
with the immigrant population to encour-
age white senior citizens to use the AC-
CESS card, too.
Toohil led us to believe that she would
address the issue of anchor babies by pre-
venting them from attaining legal Amer-
ican citizenship but then refused to follow
through on that agenda.
Toohil also led us to believe that she
would be a champion of spending cuts but
then bragged that the Hazleton Area
School District would receive no cuts in
state funding, which meant that there
would be no decrease in taxes. Toohil
claimed that she would create jobs. Yet, all
she has done is passively accommodate
CAN DO Inc. and the very same employers
who are giving jobs to the very same im-
migrants that the public of Hazleton elect-
ed her to get rid of in the first place.
There is nothing about Toohil that es-
pouses any conservative ideology. Instead,
Toohils only concern seemingly is Toohil.
Toohil is a chameleon. I am not.
If voters write my name in on both the
primary ballot and on the general election
ballot for state representative of the 116th
District, I will push legislation through the
House to secede from the United States
unless Congress forces all immigrants who
entered the United States within the last
three decades, and their children, to leave
the country.
I will demand secession unless the feder-
al government ends all affirmative action
programs for minorities, eliminates all
forms of welfare for immigrants and
adopts neo-Jim Crow laws that are to be
aggressively applied to illegal immigrants
until such a time that the illegal popula-
tion can be successfully deported.

E NEVER expect-
ed pink slime to
become a buzz-
phrase in the
media. But it is, and it provides
another opportunityfor us tofly
our flag for better food choices
and smarter food consumers.
Pinkslimeis calledleanfine-
ly textured beef in the meat in-
dustry. It is a meat filler, found
in 70 percent of the ground beef
soldinAmericansupermarkets.
And it totals up to 25 percent of
each individual hamburger pat-
ty, accordingtosomeestimates.
Is it dangerous? Depends on
your definition. It is scrap meat
that is simmered on low heat.
Fat and tissue is then separated
by a centrifuge, and the remain-
ing usable material is then
sprayed with ammonia gas to
kill germs the scraps used are
found to be high in bacteria
such as e coli.
The meat industry sees no
problem with any of this; the
U.S. Department of Agriculture
alsosees noproblem, sayingthe
material is safe to eat.
Those who are looking for
less processed, more natural
foods should have a problem
with this.
Organic groundbeef contains
no such material; using fillers,
including the lean finely tex-
tured beef, is a no-no.
Gerald Zinstein, the former
USDA inspector who blew the
whistle on the material, is said
to now grind his own beef if he
wants a burger. That, too, is an
alternative to generic ground
beef without the organic label.
We cant argue with the gov-
ernment about the safety of the
material. We can, as always,
look askance at any industry
pronouncement, because in-
dustries are not the best regula-
tors of their ownmeans tomaxi-
mize profit.
But we strongly urge, as al-
ways, thefullest disclosureof in-
formation to consumers. The
use of this material, which is a
filler and not of particular nutri-
tional value, is not something
that asignificant segment of the
eating public is going to want.

T
HE DEBATE OVER
natural gas drilling in
theMarcellus Shalein
Pennsylvania an ec-
onomic boon that must be
weighed against environmen-
tal impact literally has been
shaken up by events in neigh-
boring Ohio, reminding every-
one that water quali-
ty is not the only is-
sue for concern.
In December, a
dozen minor earth-
quakes occurred
near a 9,184-foot-
deep well drilled to
dispose of wastewa-
ter from the drilling
process. Experts
from Columbia Uni-
versity believed the
Northstar No. 1 dis-
posal well owned by D&L En-
ergy, five miles from Young-
stown, was linked to the
quakes. As a result, officials in
Ohio shut it along with four
other wells nearby pending an
investigation.
That caution was vindicated
last week with the release of a
preliminary report by the Ohio
Department of Natural Re-
sources. While D&L said the
findings were premature in the
absence of new testing, the
ODNR relied on seismic mon-
itors to determine that the
earthquakes were linked to
coincidental events, includ-
ing the presence of a previous-
ly unknown geologic fault line.
It is important to differen-
tiate between drilling for natu-
ral gas anddrillinga deepinjec-
tion well to dispose of waste-
water from the fracking proc-
ess (water which,
in this case, came
from Pennsylva-
nia). It also is
worth remember-
ing that these
quakes rated be-
tween 2.7 and 4.0
for severity
caused no serious
damage.
This unusual se-
ries of events is
therefore not an
argument to cease the search
for gas in the Marcellus Shale;
it is instead a reminder that
special caution is called for
when injection wells are being
contemplated at exceptional
depths. Common sense sug-
gests that proximity to popula-
tion centers should be an im-
portant factor.
Pennsylvania has six injec-
tion wells. There is no need for
anyone to quake in their boots,
but caution is advised.

WILKES-BARRE Investors
who believe they were scammed
by attorney Anthony J. Lupas Jr.
may be able to recoup up to
$100,000 of their losses from a
state court fund that reimburses
persons who have been defraud-
ed by an attorney.
The Pennsylvania Lawyers
Fund for Client Security was es-
tablished in 1982 to provide per-
sons victimized by dishonest at-
torneys a means to recoup their
losses, said Frank Dougherty, an
attorney with the Office of Dis-
ciplinary Counsel, which investi-
gates allegations of wrongdoing
by attorneys for the Disciplinary
Board of the state Supreme
Court.
The Supreme Court establish-
ed the fund, which is bankrolled
through a surcharge paid by all
attorneys to address concerns
that people who were victimized
by unscrupulous attorneys had
fewoptions to recoup their mon-
ey, Dougherty said.
Years ago, if an attorney took
your money and you couldnt get
it back, you could sue, but gener-
ally they were judgment proof,
Dougherty said. The court real-
ized that was a serious problem
and that the bar had to do some-
thing to help these people get
back at least some of what their
attorney had improperly taken.
The security fund paid out a
total of $2.1 million for 148
claims that were filed during the
2009-10 fiscal year, according to
a copy of its annual report. That
included $150,000 for a claim fil-
edagainst former LuzerneCoun-
ty attorney Michael Bart, who
pleaded guilty in 2008 to a feder-
al wire fraud charge for stealing
money from several clients.
Lupas, 77, a prominent
Wilkes-Barre attorney, is under
state and federal investigation
for allegedly bilking dozens of
people out of potentially mil-
lions of dollars by falsely claim-
ing he had invested their money
in a trust fund, according attor-
neys GavinLentz of Philadelphia
and Ernest Preate Jr. of Scran-
ton, who represent some of the
alleged victims.
Attorney Robert Rovner of
Feasterville, chairman of the
board that oversees the security
fund, said it plays an important
role inensuring the public is pro-
tected. Pennsylvania does not re-
quire attorneys to carry malprac-
tice insurance.
While the number of lawyers
who misappropriate clients
funds is extremely small com-
pared to the number of licensed
attorneys, the actions of those
fewresult inconfidence inthe le-
gal profession being shaken,
Rovner said. This fund helps re-
store that confidence.
Rovner saidclaims canbe filed
against anattorney evenif the at-
torney has not been charged
with a crime or faced disciplin-
ary action. The investigation of
claims is made independent of
other probes that may be going
on.
Several of Lupas alleged vic-
tims interviewed by The Times
Leader said they have submitted
claims against Lupas. Those
claims were filed in conjunction
with a complaint filed with the
Office of Disciplinary Counsel,
which has opened an investiga-
tion, according to Lentz and
Preate.
The fund is overseen by board
of six attorneys and two lay per-
sons. The Office of Disciplinary
Counsel can share information it
has uncovered with the security
fund board, but decisions to
grant or deny a claim and the
amount of money are made sole-
ly by the board.
Rovner said the average proc-
essing time for a complaint is
nine to 12 months from the date
of filing.

Several people believe they

By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER

allegedly stealing potentially
millions through a bogus in-
vestment scheme.
Attempts to reach Lupas over
the past several days have been
unsuccessful.
U.S. Attorney Peter J. Smith
has declined to comment on
whether there is an investiga-
tion. Told of Lentzs criticisms
Wednesday, Smith again de-
clined comment.
Federal law enforcement
agencies, including the Secret
Service and FBI, investigate
crimes, but its up to the U.S. At-
torneys Office to approve
charges.
Federal agents have subpoe-
naed Lupas records from Lu-
zerne Bank, where he held an
account for his now-closed law
practice, a source familiar with
the investigation said. Its sus-
pected those documents will be
part of evidence that will be pre-
sented to a federal grand jury.
In federal cases, charges are
typically brought through the
filing of a criminal complaint or
by presenting evidence to a
grand jury, which determines if
there is sufficient evidence to is-
sue an indictment.
If a complaint is filed, prose-
cutors can take a defendant into
custody immediately, pending
presentment of the evidence to
a grand jury.
Lentz is pushing for prosecu-
tors to take that action. He be-
lieves there is strong evidence
of mail fraud based on a docu-
ment, titled agreement and
declaration of trust, Lupas pro-
vided to his clients.
The document, which con-
tains Lupas signature, pur-
ports to establish a trust fund to
hold the clients money. In real-
ity, there is no trust fund, Lentz
said.
Lupas mailed those docu-
ments to his clients, which con-
stitutes mail and wire fraud,
Lentz said.
If I was a prosecutor, this guy
would already be locked up,
Lentz said.

Asked Wednesday about the
steep legal fee increase, Namey
said Przywara had brought it to
his attention about six or eight
months ago.
Lenny came over andsaidwe
were way over budget, so we
took it to the board, Namey
said. The board was coming up
with ways to address the issue.
Originally, they were going to
put a cap on legal spending.
But, Namey noted, things
had changed as far as the legal
work being done. We are aggres-
sively attacking some of the tax
appeals where we believe we are
losing so much money.
The board also adopted a pol-
icy of having all contracts re-
viewed by Lupas or assistant so-
licitor Ray Wendolowski.
I want to make clear, Im not
in any way justifying that huge
an increase, Namey said.
Namey and Przywara also
confirmed that there are no
written contracts with Lupas or
Wendolowski. On Tuesday,
board member Christine Kat-
sock said she had asked for con-
tracts and was told there were
none.
Theyve never had contracts
as long as Ive been here,
Przywara said, adding that hes
worked in the district for two
decades. The board would an-
nually reappoint Lupas and
Wendolowski, and set a retainer
fee, but not call for a contract, he
said.

the primary voting block here.
The requirement has caught
the attention of those who care
for the elderly.
Ann Marie Pfiel, the adminis-
trator at Providence Place Retire-
ment Community in Butler
Township, saidthat facility hasnt
decided what it will do to accom-
modate residents.
Wedhavetowait andseewhat
happens. Im sure we would help
theminsome way, whether it was
issuing IDs or assisting them in
obtaining one, she said.
Democratic opposition
Local House Democrats derid-
ed the bill, saying it will be costly
to implement some estimate it
could cost up to $11million and
was unnecessary because there
has been little documented voter
fraud requiring this action.
They also argued that the law
would frustrate voters and disen-
franchise them, causing lower
voter turnout in future elections.
(Leonard) Piazza informed
me that in his entire career he has
not receiveda single complaint of
voter fraud, saidRep. GerryMul-
lery, D-Newport Township. The
system isnt broken, and it cer-
tainly doesnt need a fix like this.
But Rep. TarahToohil, R-Butler
Township, saidPennsylvaniahas
had a long history of voter fraud
and any money spent to protect
the voting process is money well
spent.
Democrats were unrelenting in
their stance that not only isnt
fraud widespread, but its nearly
nonexistent.
Election fraud is a myth.
There have only beenfour convic-
tions for voter fraud out of 20 mil-
lion votes cast in Pennsylvania
since 2004, said Rep. Eddie Day
Pashinski, D-Wilkes-Barre. This
bill is putting a roadblock be-
tween voters and the ballot box.
Its a big government restriction
in search of a problem.
Republicans disagreed, saying
that voter fraud, even if its just
one vote, should be avoided at all
costs.
Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, R-Butler,
the bills sponsor, noted that,
Currently in Pennsylvania it is
impossibletoboardacommercial
airplane, cash a paycheck, oper-
ate a motor vehicle or even pur-
chase prescription eyeglasses
without displaying a valid photo
ID.
Guaranteeing the integrity of
our states election process and
ensuring that no vote will be can-
celed out by the forces of corrup-
tion deserves no less than equal
protection under the law.
While Democrats allege that
thebill is aGOPploytohurt Dem-
ocratic turnout, Dr. Agapito Lo-
pez, a spokesman for the Latino
community in Hazleton, said he
thinks theresults will betheexact
opposite.
I think it will affect the older
Pennsylvanians. I haveseenmany
more older Pennsylvanians (at
the polls) who are not Latino
There are many Republican vot-
ers whoareolder senior citizens. I
think if its the Republicans who
aredoingthis, its goingtobounce
back on them.
Boback supports IDs
Rep. Karen Boback, R-Harveys
Lake, also said the idea that the
bill will hurt voter turnout is pat-
ently false.
There are many instances in
our modern society during which
an individual must furnish a pho-
to ID, so it is absurd to argue this
legislation will disenfranchise
anyone, Boback said.
The authors of the legislation
have gone to great lengths to en-
sure that anyone who wants to
vote will be able to participate in
elections, she added. The legis-
lationevenincludes a measure re-
quiring PennDOTto provide free
IDs. It also includes the use of
identification beyond what the
state issues, to include college
IDs, military identification and
credentials issued by long-term
care facilities.
Rep. Mike Carroll, D-Avoca,
vehemently objected to penaliz-
ing poll workers with criminal
charges for failing to demand ID.
Im not prepared to place an
added burden and possible crimi-
nal penalties on our precious few
polling place workers who now
face the prospect of turning away
voters whom they may have
known for decades.
Rep. Sid Kavulich, D-Taylor,
saidtherejust wasnt enoughevi-
dence of widespread voter fraud
in the commonwealth that we
should be making it harder for
people to vote, especially senior
citizens and those with physical
disabilities.
According to the Pennsylvania
Department of Transportation,
nearly 700,000 Pennsylvanians
lack photo ID, with half of them
being senior citizens.
One of the provisions added to
the bill would permit a photo ID
issued by a nursing home, assist-
ed living home or personal care
home in Pennsylvania could
mean those sorts of facilities
could find themselves either
transporting residents to a state
drivers licensing center or creat-
ing their own photo IDs for resi-
dents.
Rep. Phyllis Mundy said the
money that will be spent imple-
menting the new law could have
better used in supporting state
programs seeing severe budgets
cuts.

Most of the wells were drilled

Given that Marcellus drilling

Butler and Virginia Commonwealth
defied the odds with Hoosiers-like runs
to the Final Four last season, leaving a
trail of ripped up NCAA tournament
brackets across the country.
The Rams will get another shot after
winning the Colonial Athletic Associ-
ation tournament, but the Bulldogs
andlovable mascot Blue2 are headed
to the CBI after consecutive trips to the
NCAA title game.
Last season seemed like a confluence
of chaos, but this years bracket has the
potential to match it after the top four
teams in the AP Top 25 went down last
week.
Kentucky, Syracuse, Michigan State
and North Carolina got the No. 1 nods
fromthe tournament selection commit-
tee. All four have their faults, though,
particularly the Orangemen, who will
be playing without center Fab Melo.
To get you ready for the action, weve
got a rundown of what to look for lead-
ing up to the title game in New Orleans
on April 2. The second round tips today.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Thomas Robinson, Kansas. Big,
powerful, agile, dominating, player of
the year candidate.
Jared Sullinger, Ohio State. See
Thomas Robinson, Kansas.
Anthony Davis, Kentucky. Scores,
blocks shots, dominates. You get the
idea.
Doug McDermott, Creighton.
Third in the nation with 23.2 points per
game, shot 61percent fromthe field and
thats-not-a-typo 49 percent from3. This
years Jimmer?
Peyton Siva, Louisville. That tear-
drop of his could bring rain.
Draymond Green, Michigan State.
Does it all, seems to know it all on the
court.

pointer to beat North Carolina, can take

With Penn States quarterback sit-
uation scrambled, one high-profile
free agent is eyeingupHappy Valley.
Marylands Danny OBrien, set to
transfer at the endof the semester, has
contactedtheNittanyLions according
to Penn State coach Bill OBrien.
Multiple reports have mentioned
Penn State as a possible landing spot
for Danny OBrien, who emerged as
one of the countrys top young quar-
terbacks before falling out of favor
witha newcoachingstaff at Maryland.
Bill OBrien, who has no relation to
the quarterback,
would not confirm if
the interest is mu-
tual but said Penn
State is on the list.
Danny does have
an interest, Bill
OBrien told report-
ers in State College
on Wednesday fol-
lowing the pro-
grams pro day. He,
obviously, was
granted a release by
the University of
Maryland and con-
tacted us. You know,
hes contacted a few
other schools, so Id
say were one of
many schools hes
looking at.
But like Ive said
to our football team
from the beginning,
if I can do anything to improve the
football team within the rules, wheth-
er its arecruitingideaor aschemeor a
transfer, then Im definitely going to
look into it. And so you know, thats
part of the process with Danny
OBrien.
Danny OBrien is looking to utilize
an NCAA loophole one that has be-
come more common in recent years
that would allow him to play immedi-
ately for his new team.
Typically a player must sit out for a
year when transferring from one FBS
school to another. But exceptions are
made for players who have already
completed an undergraduate degree,

BETHLEHEMPerhaps the worst thing that happened
to Meyers on Wednesday night was halftime.
Because when the Mohawks returned to
the court, the momentum and infectious
energy never returned.
Instead, defending state champion Im-
hotep Charter eased away control then
turned up the intensity even more in the
final period to defeat Meyers 66-51 in a
PIAA Class 2A second-round game at Lib-
erty High School.
District 2 champion Meyers finished its season at 24-3.
The loss ended its 17-game winning streak. D12 fourth seed
Imhotep(19-8) movedtothe quarterfinals andwill play D12
second seed Bishop McDevitt (13-13) on Saturday.
You cant simulate that kind of pressure in practice,
Meyers coach Pat Toole said. As much as I tried to get the
kids tocalmdown, we just didnt handle the pressure well in
the third quarter.

The Trojanettes season came undone

Nanticoke, at times, was just as good as the District 1
champions, who shot just 38 percent from the floor. The
teams traded baskets and leads through the first five min-
utes. Over the final 13 minutes, the teams were again level
on the scoreboard.

NORFOLK, Va. It was there wait-
ing, an opportunity that few have had
lately against Norfolk, which came into
the evening with a 15-game winning
streak.
And into a 5-on-3 power play near the
endof thesecondperiodwithatwo-goal
lead.
They were stopped. Stymied. And
there it was, a springboard for the Pen-
guins to use in coming back.
But there was no spring in the board.
Power-play goals by Richard Panik and
Tyler Johnson, and an even-strength
score by Radko Gudas were countered
only by Bryan Lergs score in a 4-1 Pen-
guins loss, which snapped their own
winning streak at three games.
Norfolks 16-game winning streak is
tied with Baltimore, set in 1984-85, for
second-longest in a single season in
AHL history. The record was set by Phi-
ladelphia in 2004.
But theyre not hot, Penguins coach
John Hynes said of Norfolk. They play
the game the right way. They play as a
team. Theyre gritty. They work.
Theyre hot because they earn it.
Perhaps the best example of that
came in the opening period, after Lerg
began the scoring with a shot from the
left wing at 8:47 of the opening period, a
blast from long range that beat Norfolk
goalie Jaroslav Janus badly. It was the

hey say theres no shame in
losing to a better team.
That doesnt always make a
team any less bitter.
Im still disappointed we lost,
Nanticoke junior Kayley Schinski
said. But knowing they were a little
better team? I guess you could say
that.
Say what you will about the way
the Trojanettes dropped out of the
PIAA Class 3A girls basketball play-
offs on Wednesday with a 41-20
defeat at the hands of Villa Maria
Academy.
Some will say Nanticoke suc-
cumbed to inexperience. Others may
suggest the Trojanettes simply went
cold on a bad night. And there are
always accusations that bad calls
may be at fault.
But the Trojanettes wont make
any such allegations.
They simply blamed the loss on a
Villa Maria team that played better.
I think they definitely were the
better team tonight, Trojanettes
senior guard Sammy Gow said.
Even coming into the game, we
knew it was going to be a difficult
team.
Not this difficult.
By halftime, Nanticoke was trailing
18-6. By the end of the third quar-
ter, Villa Maria widened that gap,
30-10.
With points so difficult to come
by for the Trojanettes, what was the
point in hoping against hope?
Yet, there was Schinski playing
diligent defense as the final seconds
of Nanticokes defeat disappeared
from the game clock.
We cant give up, Schinski said.
We could have gotten blown out.
But we hung in there.
They did.
The Trojanettes tried to rally
when Brittany Sugalski hit a jumper
and Schinski followed with a steal
and two free throws, cutting the
deficit to 30-14 with 6:40 remaining.
But two minutes later, Nanticoke
was in a 22-point hole again.
We were only down six baskets
at halftime, Gow said. We came
out and just tried out hardest.
Thats all anyone can ask.
But sometimes, even a teams best
effort isnt quite enough.
Villa Maria was too tough on the
trap, too tall with its defensive pres-
sure and too solid for the Troja-
nettes to overcome.
They were a very good team,
Gow said, defense and offense.
Definitely the best defensive team
weve played. They really got in the
passing lanes, which made it hard
for us to really attack the basket.
Our shots were rushed, too.
It seemed openings were so diffi-
cult for the Trojanettes to find that
they hurried their attempts before
their freedom disappeared.
Haste makes waste.
Nanticoke coach Alan Yendrzeiwski
suggested inexperience had some-
thing to do with it, since Nanticoke
Area missed the state playoffs dur-
ing the previous two years.
This is a first for them, these
kids, Yendrzeiwski said.
He said his team picked a bad
time to go cold from the floor.
When were going, were really
going, Yendrzeiwski said. When
were not tonight we werent. Its
like it was contagious.
But before coming up with some
catchy reason for Nanticokes defeat,
take a hard look at the skill of the
other team.
Thats where the fault lies.
Their defense was just a little
better than ours, Schinski said.
When that happens, sometimes
giving your best doesnt make you
the best.

PENN STATE
Monroe Brown dies at 41
STATE COLLEGE . Monroe
Brown, the point guard who helped
Penn State upset UCLA in the first
round of the 1991 NCAA tournament,
has died. He was 41.
The team said in a statement
Wednesday that Brown died Friday in
Havre de Grace, Md. No cause of death
was given.
A four-year starter, Brown teamed
with backcourt mate Freddie Barnes to
help the Nittany Lions win the Atlantic
10 conference tournament his junior
season before beating UCLA 74-69 in
the first round of the NCAAs. The
program considers that victory one of
the greatest in its history.
Brown is one of three Nittany Lions
with at least 1,000 points, 400 rebounds
and 400 assists in a career, along with
Barnes and guard Talor Battle, who
graduated last year.

Like he did in January, when the
7-footer was also declared ineligible by
the school for academic reasons, Syra-
cuse coach Jim Boeheim wont com-
ment on the specifics of the suspension
which will keep Melo out for as long as
the top-seeded Orange continue in the
NCAA tournament.
CAL
No experience necessary
BERKELEY, Calif. On the bus
after Californias season ended last year
in the second round of the WNIT, sev-
eral players made a vow to change.
They called a mandatory team meet-
ing. The next postseason trip would be
for the NCAA tournament and nothing
less.
The Golden Bears arent sure who
actually brought the group together in
the locker room that day. Eliza Pierre
thinks it was Talia Caldwell, who fig-
ures it must have been fellow junior
Layshia Clarendon.
Clarendon has no idea and it
hardly matters now. Cal is back in the
NCAA tournament for the first time
since a run to the regional semifinals in
2009 capped a stretch of four straight
NCAA berths.

NEW YORK St. Johns coach
Steve Lavin and Villanovas Jay Wright
will serve as guest studio analysts for
NCAA tournament coverage this week.
CBS and Turner Sports said Wednes-
day that Wright would join the Atlanta

Wright worked the regional finals for
CBS last year, while Lavin was a long-

PITTSBURGH The last
time Southern Miss guard Dar-

court for an NCAA tournament
game, he was wearing Kentucky
blue trying to help the Wildcats
to their first Final Four in 12
years.
Instead, Dodsonmanagedjust
six points in a 73-66 loss to West
Virginia in the 2010 East region-
al final then slumped off the
floor and into oblivion.
Kentucky coach John Calipari
cut Dodson the following sum-
mer, jumpstarting a chain of
events that had Dodson wonder-
ing if hed ever play basketball
again. Dodson was arrested for
disorderly conduct in Lexington
in October 2010 before finding a
safe landingspot playingfor Lar-
ry Eustachy at Southern Miss.
Dodsons career with the
Golden Eagles nearly ended be-
fore it began. He was kicked off
the teamafter pleading guilty to
grand larceny last spring only to
be brought back for one last
chance in December.
The smooth-shooting 6-foot-7
Dodson hasnt let Eustachys be-
nevolence go to waste. Dodson
averaged11.1points in 23 games
for the Golden Eagles as they
won 25 games and made the
NCAA tournament field for the
first time since 1991.
PEYTONS PLACE
That other Peyton Louis-

the only member of the Cardi-
nals basketball program who
was hoping for a cross-country
trip when the NCAA tourna-
ment field was revealed.
Siva got his wish when the
fourth-seeded Cardinals were
sent to Portland, Ore., for a sec-
ond-round game against 13th-
seeded Davidson. Not a bad way
for the Seattle native to poten-
tially finish out his junior season
at Louisville, especially after
leading the Cardinals to the Big
East tournament championship
last weekend. Siva was named
tournaments most outstanding
player.
Nobody really wanted to
come to Portland, you know. It
really didnt matter to me. If we
came to Portland, I have a lot of
my family members can come,
Siva said. Its great to come
back to the Northwest, and it
feels good.

Ohio State is in its fourth
straight NCAAtournament after
a season when the Buckeyes
were ranked in the top 10 from
the preseason poll to the one re-
leased this week. They have re-
ached the round of 16 the last
two years, andthe schools histo-
ry features nine Final Fours and
a national championship in
1960.
Still, the Ohio State players
were asked how they think the
program is regarded nationally.
But its OK, sophomore
guard Aaron Craft said. I mean,
theres nothing greater in the fall
than being in The Shoe, watch-
ing our guys play football, espe-
cially with the buzz thats going
around right now with the new
hires andall the recruits we have
coming in. Its something that
you get to embrace.
Dodson
earns his
way back
to tourney
The former Kentucky guard
has bounced back with
Southern Mississippi.
PITTSBURGH Ohio State has four
sophomore starters and one bad NCAA
tournament memory.
The Buckeyes were knocked out of last
years tournament in the regional semifi-
nals by a jumper by Kentuckys Brandon
Knight with 5 seconds to play. A No. 1
seed last year, the Buckeyes felt their sea-
son ended way too soon.
ANo. 2 seedthis year, Ohio State starts
a run at a 10th Final Four when it plays
15th-seeded Loyola (Md.) on Thursday
night in the second round of the East Re-
gional.
I just think it affected everyone a little
differently last year, sophomore guard
Aaron Craft said. Everyone kind of took
a step back and felt what they could do to
make the game change. At the same time
I thinkwedida goodjobof tryingtomove
on. We cant live in the past. Figure out a
waytohelpthis basketball teambebetter,
because its not the same as last year.
The Buckeyes (27-7) were a tri-cham-
pion of the Big Ten this season. Loyola
(24-8) finished second in the Metro At-
lantic Athletic Conference and won the
conference tournament to seal its second
NCAA tournament berth, 22 behind the
Buckeyes.
I know what a great team Ohio State
is. Its an honor to play them, Grey-
hounds coach Jimmy Patsos said. We
probablyhavelittlechanceof winningthe
game. Four minutes at a time, well see
what we can do.
Ohio States Jared Sullinger was a first-
team All-America last season as a fresh-
man. He averaged 17.6 points and 9.3 re-
bounds this season while earning All-Big
Ten honors.
In March you enter the tournament,
records go out the door. Its not about
what conference theyre from, Sullinger
said. Doesnt matter what is the record.
Everybodyis fightingfor their life. Wegot
to understand that tomorrow is not a
promise. I think thats the biggest motto
this basketball team has to embrace is:
Tomorrows not a promise.
Sullinger sounded like someone who
believes that when he talks about Loyola,
which had the first 20-win season in
school history in 2011-12.
Theyre a very athletic basketball
team. They like to get up and down the
floor. Love transition, Sullinger said. A
lot of guys can score the basketball for
them. I mean, they have five guys averag-
ing double figures so theyre a very bal-
anced team. One person is not going to
beat us. Its a teameffort. We have to stop
everybody.
Thats what Patsos is afraid of.
Well still runandpress against them,
said Patsos, a longtime assistant to for-
mer Maryland coach Gary Williams.
OhioState wants toplaytheir way. If you
play their way, youre not going to beat
them. I think they can win the national
championship this year.
Thad Matta has taken the Buckeyes to
the NCAA tournament six times in his
eight seasons, and they have reached the
round of 16 three times, including the na-
tional runner-up finish in 2007.
Were averaging 27 wins in eight
years, Matta said. I think from the
standpoint of going to the NCAA tourna-
ment, weve been a 1 seed twice, weve
been a 2 seed three times, then I think an
8 seed. Fromthe standpoint of who weve
recruited, the type of kid that weve
brought in, the character of those kids,
how theyve represented the program
and the university probably most impor-
tantly, Imvery excited where we are and
the direction were heading in.
The Loyola players believe they have a
shot at a major upset if the Greyhounds
can control the tempo. They want to run,
even though it didnt look that way in the
48-44 win over Fairfield in the conference
championship game.
When I look at them, theyre not very
deep, said 6-10 Shane Walker, who will
probably get the assignment of guarding
Sullinger. They only play six or seven
guys. I feel like we canrunthem. They try
to slowthe game down. We try to speedit
up.
Hopefully that will work in our advan-
tage.

DAYTON, Ohio Maybe Vermont is
on the verge of some memorable NCAA
tournament moments to add to the one
it most cherishes.
Four McGlynn came off the bench to
score 18 points and Vermont grabbed an
early lead and hung on to beat Lamar
71-59 on Wednesday night in a first-
round game.
Matt Glass added 11 points, Sandro
Carissimo 10 and Brian Voelkel had 12
rebounds to help the Catamounts earn a
spot against top-seeded North Carolina
on Friday in Greensboro, N.C.
The Catamounts (24-11) shot 50 per-
cent from the field, blending an inside
presence with McGlynns touch from
the perimeter.
Devon Lamb and Mike James each
had 16 points for Lamar (23-12), which
had won six in a row since first-year
coach Pat Knight ripped his seniors
after a loss in late February.
It was only Vermonts second NCAA
win, but the first one was something. A
60-57 upset of fourth-seeded Syracuse
by the 13th-seeded Catamounts in the
first round of the 2005 tournament is
considered the biggest victory in school
history.
McGlynn, the only player in all of
Division I to lead his team in scoring
(12.0) without starting a game and yet
playing in every game, provided punch
to Vermonts offense.
He entered in the first half and imme-
diately ignited a rally that gave the
Catamounts the lead.
Still, down by as many as 16 points
early in the second half, Lamar kept
hanging around. It drew to seven points
when Anthony Miles, who added 14
points, drove and hit a layup while fall-
ing and completed a three-point play,
then hit a 3 the next possession.
But Vermont always seemed to have
an answer.
Brandon Davis followed by driving
the lane and banking in a shot. After a
Cardinals miss, Glass popped in a jump-
er and the lead was back to double
figures.
Moments later, after a nifty scoop
shot in traffic for a bucket by Lamars
James, McGlynn came in and promptly
drilled a 3 from the right wing to make
it 59-47 with just over 6 minutes left.
South Florida 65, California 54
DAYTON, Ohio South Florida
introduced the NCAA tournament to
the Big Easts nastiest defense, putting
more than just a chill into a California
team that had never seen anything like
it. The Bulls allowed only 13 points in
the first half and brushed their way to a
victory.
South Florida (21-13) plays No. 5 seed
Temple in Nashville on Friday, a match-
up of teams known for gritty defense.
Few have been better than this one for
the first 20 minutes on the NCAA stage.
California (24-10) didnt score over
the last 8:55 of the first half, missing 10
shots and turning it over twice while
South Florida pulled ahead 36-13.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. Calvin
Johnson got the biggest contract in NFL
history Wednesday, andhe wasnt evena
free agent.
The All-Pro wide receivers eight-year
deal through the 2019 season is worth
$132 million, with $60 million guaran-
teed, surpassing the $120 million with
$50 million guaranteed being paid to
Arizonas Larry Fitzgerald.
They were happy to get this thing
done with, and I was happy as well,
Johnson said. It wasnt a lot of confron-
tation. We werent butting heads or any-
thing. It was just something that we
knew needed to get done.
Johnson caught 96 passes for 1,681
yards and 16 touchdowns in leading the
Lions back to the playoffs for the first
time since 1999.
Another All-Pro, guard Carl Nicks,
left NewOrleans for the Tampa Bay Buc-
caneers and a five-year contract. Consid-
ered one of the NFLs best pass blockers,
Nicks is a two-time Pro Bowl player.
Indianapolis made receiver Reggie
Waynes return official Wednesday and
also signed defensive end Cory Redding
to a contract.
Philadelphia agreed on a five-year
contract with wideout and kick returner
DeSean Jackson, who was given a fran-
chise tag and would have cost any team
signing him two first-round draft picks.
The Eagles also inked defensive end
Trent Cole to a four-year extension.
Chicago agreed to a three-year deal
with wide receiver Eric Weems and also
brought back Josh McCown on a one-
year deal.
New St. Louis coach Jeff Fisher
brought in one of his regulars when he
was with the Titans, agreeing with cor-
nerback Cortland Finnegan on a five-
year contract.
Pro Bowl cornerback Carlos Rogers
will get $31.3 million over four years to
remain with the 49ers.
The PeytonManning courtship con-
tinued, with the Titans taking their turn
at wooing the four-time MVP quarter-
back who was released earlier this
month by Indianapolis.
Dallas landedits backuptoTony Ro-
mo when it agreed on a three-year deal
with Kyle Orton.
Derek Anderson said he has agreed
to remain in Carolina as Cam Newtons
backup.
Two other quarterbacks on the mar-
ket, Green Bays Matt Flynn consid-
ered the top available QB behind Man-
ningandChadHenne have scheduled
visits to Seattle.
The Cowboys bolstered their sec-
ondary with Brandon Carr, who will re-
place Terence Newman. Carr got a five-
year deal.
The Chargers re-signed left tackle
Jared Gaither to a four-year contract and
signed former Ravens linebacker Jarret
Johnson to a four-year deal.
The Super Bowl champion Giants
signed tight end Martellus Bennett to a
deal.

which Danny OBrien is set to earn this
spring.
Hewouldthenbeeligibletoplayfor a
different team in the 2012 season, pro-
vided he enrolls in a graduate program
at his newschool that was not offeredat
Maryland.
Russell Wilson used the same clause
to play right away at Wisconsin in 2011
after leaving North Carolina State.
What makes Danny OBriens situa-
tion rare, however, is that he would be
graduating fromMaryland in just three
years, leavinghimstill withtwoseasons
of eligibility at his newprogram.
His interest in the Lions likely stems
from their uncertainty under center, as
well as Bill OBriens workwiththeNew
England Patriots and TomBrady.
Bill OBrien said Wednesday that the
Lions three scholarship quarterbacks
on campus Matt McGloin, Rob Bol-
denandPaul Jones will all split reps in
spring practice, which opens March 26.
With the old coaching staff shuffling
betweenMcGloinandBoldenfor much
of 2011, Penn State finished the season
96th in passing offense and 112th in
passing efficiency. Jones was academi-
cally ineligible last season but is on
track for 2012.
If Danny OBrien were to end up at
Penn State, he would likely challenge
for the starting job right away.
The ACC freshman of the year in
2010, Danny OBrien threw for 2,438
yards and22touchdowns as arookiefor
the Terrapins under head coach Ralph
Friedgen and offensive coordinator
James Franklin.
But Maryland athletic director Kevin
Anderson shook things up after his first
year on the job, firing Friedgen and
scrapping a plan that named Franklin
the head-coach-in-waiting.
AndersoninsteadhiredRandyEdsall
fromUConn, andDannyOBriensnum-
bers plummetedinhis systemas asoph-
omore(1,648yards, seventouchdowns,
10interceptions). Edsall twice benched
him during the season, leading to his
decision to transfer.
Penn State, Wisconsin and Vander-
bilt are reportedly among the schools
Danny OBrienhas targeted. Wisconsin
has been to the Rose Bowl the past two
seasons and had no problems integrat-
ing Wilson into its program. Franklin is
the head coach at Vanderbilt.

STATE COLLEGE The new re-
gime at PennState changedupthe look
of the teams pro day.
Players auditioning in front of more
than 25 NFL scouts or assistant coach-
es on Wednesday worked out in sleek,
form-fitting blue andgray workout gear
with names on the backs of the
shirts! Nameless gameday jerseys are
as much a staple of autumn Saturdays
in Happy Valley as falling leaves and
tailgating.
Theres no indication the plain-Jane
jerseys will disappear under rookie
coachBill OBrien, thoughhis NFLcon-
nections might come in handy for the
Nittany Lions hoping to get to the next
level.
Though he never coached this group
of Penn State seniors, OBrien spoke
about them like family.
Thats one of the ways you show it.
You want these guys to have career op-
portunities when theyre done playing,
and you can help themwith developing
a relationship with the NFL, he said
Wednesday outside the teams indoor
practice facility.
Like OBriens predecessor, the late
Hall of Fame coach Joe Paterno, the
team kept the workouts themselves off
limits to media.
Unlike Paterno, OBrien spoke to re-
porters while players ran through a re-
gimen that included 40-yard dashes,
bench presses and positional drills. Un-
der OBriens watch, Penn State has
switchedtoa newoffseasontraining re-
gimen that focuses on free weights,
Olympic-style lifting and squats.
Strength coach Craig Fitzgerald has
said the newregimen, in part, helps im-
prove players explosiveness, what he
has called an important trait in NFL
testing.
Talking to all the current players,
they love it, they love whats going on,
safety Drew Astorino said about the
workout routine. Great attitudes.
Looking bigger, looking stronger. They
feel good, so youve got to be happy
with that.

Ersan Ilyasova had 22 points before
fouling out for the Bucks, who have
won four straight.
NEWYORKMike DAntoni is
gone, and the Knicks finally got his
offense right.
Amare Stoudemire made all seven
shots in the first half, Carmelo Anthony
passed and shot well, and the Knicks
shook off the surprising departure of
their coach to rout the Portland Trail
Blazers 121-79 on Wednesday night,
snapping a six-game losing streak.
Anthony, who denied wanting a
trade or having friction with DAntoni
earlier Wednesday, had16 points on
6-of-12 shooting and tied a season high
with seven assists. Stoudemire finished
with17 points and shot 8 of 10, before
both stars sat out the fourth quarter
while the Knicks rang up their highest
point total of the season.
LaMarcus Aldridge and Gerald Wal-
lace each scored15 points for the Trail

James Johnson and Jerryd Bayless

reacts after a 3-point basket during
the second half of an NBA game
against the Portland Trail Blazers
Wednesday in New York. The Knicks
won, 121-79.
The Associated Press DAntoni resigns
as New York skids
NEW YORK Mike DAntoni
resigned Wednesday as coach of the
New York Knicks, whose brief
resurgence in a wave of Linsanity
quickly gave way to a late-season skid
that puts them in danger of even
making the NBA playoffs.
Assistant coach Mike Woodson will
serve as interim head coach starting
with Wednesday nights game against
the Portland Trail Blazers at Madison
Square Garden.
Knicks owner Jim Dolan said he and
DAntoni had a very honest
conversation Wednesday morning.
He clearly felt it was best for the
organization if he were not to
continue as coach of the team. He did
offer to stay, Dolan said during a
press conference. After a long
discussion, we did agree it was best
for the organization to have new voice
moving forward.
Facing a barrage of questions about
his relationship with Carmelo
Anthony, DAntoni put the Knicks
through a morning workout before
stepping aside. The Knicks have
struggled since Anthony returned
from a groin injury 10 games ago,
losing six in a row for the second time
this season and falling into a tie for
the eighth and final playoff berth in
the Eastern Conference.
There was speculation that he and
DAntoni did not get along, though the
All-Star forward said Wednesday he
supported the coach 100 percent.
BUFFALO, N.Y. Jamie McGinn
forced overtime by scoring with 2
seconds left in regulation, and Peter
Mueller netted the lone shootout
goal in the Colorado Avalanches 5-4
win over the Buffalo Sabres on
Wednesday night.
McGinn scored twice, Gabriel
Landeskog had a goal and assist,
and David Jones scored for the
Avalanche (38-30-4), who vaulted
out of a four-way tie for eighth
place in the Western Conference to
sixth. Semyon Varlamov made 20
saves through overtime, and stop-
ped all three of Buffalos shootout
attempts to improve to 8-0 in the
tiebreaker.
Rookie Marcus Foligno scored
twice for Buffalo (33-29-9), which
inched within three points of
eighth-place Washington in the
East. Drew Stafford had a goal and
two assists, Tyler Ennis had three
assists, and Alexander Sulzer also
scored for the Sabres.
Muellers decisive shootout goal
came on the Avalanches second
attempt. He snapped a shot that
beat Ryan Miller on the glove side.
Miller finished with 38 saves. Varla-
mov secured the victory by stop-
ping Ennis drive to the net.
The Avalanche are 9-1 in shoo-
touts this season.
McGinn forced overtime during a
wild scramble in front. Landeskog
gained the zone and got a shot off,
that Miller stopped with his block-
er. The puck eventually went to the
right corner, where Ryan OReilly
took a bad-angle shot that sneaked
between Millers pad and the post.
The puck trickled into the crease,
and McGinn swept it in.
It was reminiscent of the Sabres
3-2 overtime win over Montreal on
Monday, in which Buffalo allowed
the Canadiens to tie it with 5 sec-
onds remaining.
The loss spoiled a big night for
Foligno, who scored twice with his
father former Sabres captain
Mike Foligno in the stands.
Fans initially thought he had
scored a third goal, and littered the
ice with hats in the third period.
But the goal was credited to Sulzer,
as replays showed the puck went off
the stick of Colorado defenseman
Matt Hunwick, and not Foligno.

MONTREAL David Deshar-
nais scored in regulation and in a

State Rep. Phyllis Mundy, D-Kingston, welcomed the PIAA Class 2A state champion
Wyoming Seminary field hockey team to the Capitol on Wednesday. Clearly, these
young women are shining examples of talent and dedication as well as personal sacri-
fice and impressive commitment to their sport, Mundy said. Im sure many of them
will go on to become leaders. Team members and coaches were recognized in the
House chamber, and Mundy presented them with House citations. The Blue Knights won
the state championship in November by defeating Villa Maria. It gave them back-to-back
titles and five state championships since 2001.

Misericordias Eichhorst
earns national honors
The Times Leader staff
LEWISBURG Within a
span of two weeks, the cham-
pions turned into challen-
gers.
And the goal of navigating
their way back to the top
proved too much of a chal-
lenge for most District 2
competitors during the open-
ing day of the PIAA Class 3A
Swimming and Diving Cham-
pionships.
Hazleton Area sisters Shai-
na and Felicia Grego along
with Ryan Paisley didnt
make it out of the morning
preliminaries Wednesday at
Bucknell Universitys Kinney
Natatorium.
It didnt go much better for
50-yard freestyler Ed Zawat-
ski and the members his
Wyoming Valley West 200-
yard medley relay team.
Their day also finished after
the preliminary round.
All of them advanced to the
state meet by winning Dis-
trict 2 championships.
For some it may have been
a case of freshman jitters.
Zawatski and Felicia Grego
are both ninth-graders swim-
ming in their first PIAA
championships.
Zawatski had high hopes of
gaining a medal in the state
sprint, where he was seeded
fifth after winning the Dis-
trict 2 title in a time of 21.02
seconds. But in the state pre-
liminary heat where hun-
dredths of a second can spell
the difference between med-
aling or not, Zawatskis time
fell to 21.50, and dropped
him to 18th place and out of
the nighttime competition.
The top eight swimmers
from morning preliminaries
return at night for the cham-
pionship race and are guaran-
teed medals, while the ninth
through 16th swimmers from
preliminaries swim in the
consolation race at night.
The Valley West 200 me-
dley team which included
Zawatski didnt make ei-
ther one, either. The Spar-
tans entered states as a 19th
seed and fell to 22nd with a
time of 1:40.15 in preliminar-
ies.
So Valley West will pin its
medal hopes on diver Colin
Vest today.
The senior is at No. 4 in the
state seedings after shatter-
ing a 35-year-old District 2
record with a score of 534.4,
and finished 13th at the PIAA
diving championships a year
ago.
The Cougars contingent
didnt entertain such aspira-
tions, carrying much lower
seeds into the state field.
Felicia Grego was seeded
31st in the girls 200-yard IM
and moved up a spot to 30th,
despite adding more than
three seconds to her district
championship time.
Her senior sister Shaina
Grego wound up 32nd in the
girls 200-yard freestyle.
And Paisley, a junior, fin-
ished 30th in the boys 200-
yard IM.
Hell get another crack at
states today in the 100-yard
freestyle, where he enters as
a 19th seed.

In between those two stretch-
es, nothing.
Sammy Gows two free throws
knotted the tightly-contested
game at 6 in the first quarter.
When Brittany Sugalski made a
free throw to give Nanticoke its
seventhpoint, it cameinthethird
quarter snapping a run of 20
consecutive points by the Hurri-
canes.
And as Katie Wolfe finally
made a driving layup three min-
utes after Sugalskis free throw,
Villa Maria led 28-10.
Our defense was tremen-
dous, Villa Maria (25-4) coach
Kathy McCartney said. We saw
themSaturday against Shamokin
and they were very good offen-
sively. We didnt let themget any
dribble penetration, and it un-
nerved them.
Villa Maria enjoyed a slight
edge on the boards, 33-27, after
each teamhad17 in the first half.
Nanticoke turned the ball over 13
times to the Hurricanes 10.
But with all Nanticoke has
been through, a comeback wasnt
unrealistic. Cassie Yalch drove
past a defender for a layup and
Kayley Schinski sank two free
throws tomakeit 30-14andseem-
ingly shift momentum.
At halftime, we were just try-
ing to get them to relax, Yendr-
zeiwski said. We were down18-6
then. Twelve points is not a lot of
points. You make a couple of
threes ...
Nanticoke got a stop on Villa
Marias next possession.
Were shaving it! exclaimed
Yendrzeiwski tohis squadas they
brought the ball upcourt.
Nanticoke took a shot to make
it a 14-point game. On the miss,
Villa Marias Maddie McTigue
pulled down one of her 13 re-
bounds.
McTigue had one foot out of
bounds as she caught the carom.
That foot was still out of bounds
as she outletted the ball. There
was no whistle.
It was that kind of night.
While the first half ended with
both teams in the bonus, Nanti-
cokes nine fouls were among the
first 12 called. Villa Maria did not
enjoy an inordinate amount of
time at the line, but did see Gow
and Schinski perhaps the Troja-
nettes top two players in the
open floor saddled with two
fouls each in the first seven min-
utes.
During their run, the Hurri-
canes had five of their six fast-
break baskets with Nanticoke un-
able to play aggressive defense.
The raucous student section, and
the other Nanticoke loyalists,
were vociferous in their objec-
tions to the way the game was
called in the first half, with three
new refs! and other chants rain-
ing down.
As Villa Maria pulled away in
the second half, they watched in
stunned silence.
Nanticoke hadnt been in
games like this, McCartneysaid.
Nanticoke brought all those fans
(two busloads plus). We didnt
sell a single student ticket. But a
little bit of our (playoff) experi-
ence showed tonight.
This team has nothing to be
ashamed of, Yendrzeiwski said.
To go 24-4, Im really proud of
these girls. AndSammy Gow, Ka-
tie Wolfe and Cassie Yalch were
great seniors and great leaders.
Wolfe had12 rebounds for Nan-
ticoke.
Lisa Mirarchi had 14 points to
lead Villa Maria and Kelly Antho-
ny added eight rebounds.

Nanticoke coach
Meyers led 27-23 at halftime as
it overcame a distinct rebound-
ing advantage by Imhotep that
led to a nine-point deficit after
the first eight minutes.
We were terrible inthe second
quarter. We played poorly, said
Imhotep coach Andre Noble,
whose team was 2-of-12 from the
field with both baskets coming
on rebounds.
I looked at our shot chart, and
our shots were bad. We just we-
rent making them.
Imhoteps Shakur Nesmith
started the third quarter with a
high-percentage shot a dunk off
of a steal. Still, Eugene Lewis was
able to make some shots of his
own, and the Panthers kept chas-
ing the Mohawks throughout the
period.
They finally caught them.
Apair of free throws and a fast-
break basket by Devin Liggeons
to close the third gave Imhotep a
46-42 advantage. The 23-point
quarter equaled Imhoteps first-
half output.
When they get penetration,
theyresotoughbecausetheir big
guys slide off and the next thing
you know their big guys are
getting dunks and layups at the
basket, Toole said.
Meyers stayed within striking
distance until an Imhotep burst
with about two minutes to play
settled the outcome.
Lewis finished with 21 points
and 14 rebounds for Meyers.
Rasheed Moore had 10 points
and six boards. Ryan Krawczeni-
uk scored 12 but was held with-
out a field goal in the final two
quarters.
Imhotep junior Brandon Aus-
tin, who has verbally committed
to Penn State, finished with 11
points and 14 rebounds. Guard
Khyree Wooten scored 16 of his
20 points in the second half to
lead the comeback.

fifth time Norfolk has fallen be-
hind in the opening period on its
streak.
The Admirals took the edge off
Janus gaffe when Panik flashed
in front of Penguins goalie Scott
Monroe andtippedina pass from
MarkBarberio. Andwhen, 31sec-
onds later, Gudas took advantage
of a retreating Penguins defense
to move between the circles and
beat goalieScott Munroetomake
it 2-1.
Those are points in the game
where you have to respond,
Hynes said. Not necessarily tilt
momentum, but we never had a
response.
That included when Norfolk
scored only 10 seconds into the
second period, when Tyler John-
son sent in a pass fromPanik on a
power play.
Still, there was the penalty kill
offering momentum going into
the third period, but that evapo-
rated when Evan Oberg skated
fromthe penalty box into the fray
and fired a shot past Munroe to
make it 4-1.
We took some momentum in-
to the room (at the second inter-
mission), but we had to come out
withsome goodshifts, Penguins
captain Ryan Craig said.
We didnt do that. We needed
to score first in the third period
andclose it uptoone goal, but we
ended up giving up a goal.
For all of the offense, Norfolks
defense was nearly impenetrable.
The Penguins hadonly four shots
in the opening period and only
one in the first 17 minutes of the
third.
They finished with only 13 for
the game, seldom taxing Janus,
who stood at the other end of the
ice and watched Munroe as
though he was downrange in a
shooting gallery.
Though he gave up the four
goals, Munroe turned in some
acrobatic saves in turning back
29 of 33 shots.
We had one guy show up to-
night and that was our goalten-
der, Craig said. He kept us
somewhat in the game.
But in the end, Norfolk ran its
record against the Penguins to
7-2 and its lead over Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton to 10 standings
points withonly13games toplay.
Look at the division thats
the difference right there, Craig
said.

OPELIKA, Ala. A judge has
tentatively set a June 25 trial date
for the man accused of poisoning
two iconic oak trees at Auburns
Toomers Corner, pending an ap-
peal trying to get him removed
from hearing the case.
Judge Jacob A. Walker III set
the date Wednesday after a brief
hearing for Harvey Updyke in
Lee County Circuit Court that re-
sumed after attorneys for both
sides met privately for about 40
minutes, and with himfor anoth-
er half-hour. Defense attorneyEv-
erett Wess asked the judge to de-
clare the 63-year-oldUpdyke indi-
gent, waiving a $200 docket fee
fromthe Alabama Court of Crim-
inal Appeals, which is set to con-
sider an appeal seeking Walkers
recusal.

UPSET POTENTIAL
Every year there are highseeds
that win games theyre not sup-
posed to win and shatter brack-
ets. Remember 13th-seeded Mo-
rehead States first-round take-
down of No. 4 Louisville last
year? Yeah, werestill bitter about
that, too.
Heres a fewpotential opening-
round upsets to consider.
Colorado State over Murray
State, West Regional. The Rac-
ers, the sixth seed in the West,
like toshoot the 3andhave Isaiah
Canaan. The 11th-seeded Rams
have seen teams like this before.
Virginia Commonwealth
over Wichita State. The Rams
were panned for getting into the
tournament last year, then went
to the Final Four. Why not again?
Colorado over UNLV. The
11th seed in the South, the Buffa-
loes were a surprise winner at the
Pac-12 tournament. The sixth-
seeded Rebels have had some
shaky moments and lost in the
Mountain West semifinals to
New Mexico, blowing a big lead.
Western Kentucky over Ken-
tucky. Sorry, just checking to see
if youre still paying attention.
NUMBERS
5-2: Odds for Kentucky to
win the title, lowest by oddsmak-
er Mike Colbert of Cantor Gam-
ing.
6-1: Odds for Ohio State to
win the title, second-best despite
being a No. 2 seed.
1-100 milliontrillion: Odds of
picking every game right by flip-
ping a coin.
5: Teams from North Caroli-
na in the NCAA tournament:
NorthCarolina, Duke, N.C. State,
UNC-Asheville, Davidson.
9: NCAAtournament bids by
the Big East, most of any league.
11: At-large mid-majors in the
bracket, most since 12 made it in
2004.
12: Presidents since Har-
vards last trip to the NCAA tour-
nament, starting with Truman in
1946.
26: NCAA tournament ap-
pearances without reaching the
Final Four by BYU, longest ever.
53: NCAA tournament ap-
pearances by Kentucky, most all-
time.
INTRIGUING GAMES
Wichita State vs. VCU. Two
good mid-major teams, equally-
matched, potential to make a
deep run.
Louisville vs. Davidson. The
Cardinals have lost in the first
round each of the past two years,
andDavidsonhas done the David
vs. Goliath thing before.
Creighton vs. Alabama.
Doug McDermott dominates.
The Crimson Tide are peaking at
just the right time.
North Carolina vs. Kansas,
potential Midwest Region final.
OK, a lot has to happen before we
get to this, but two perennial
powers and Roy Williams against
his former team back in the Mid-
west builds a little anticipation.
MID-MAJORS TO WATCH
After Butler made it to consec-
utive championship games and
VCU joined the Bulldogs last
year, its hard to rule anyone out.
Heres a few of the mid-majors to
keep an eye on this year.
Detroit: The Titans are as tal-
entedas anyone andhave scoring
machine Ray McCallum.
Memphis: The Tigers are
long, athletic and can stay with
anyone when theyre on top of
their game.
VCU: Coach Shaka Smart.
He did it once before, can do it
again.
Wichita State: The Shockers
must get by VCU in their opener
but have the look of a team that
could make a run.
Montana: The Grizzlies
arent exactly grizzled when it
comes to the tournament, but
they enter with a 14-game win-
ning streak and play defense.
Long Beach State: The Gau-
chos had three victories in as
many nights to win the Big West
Conference tournament but
arent sure if Larry Anderson will
be able to play against NewMex-
ico on Thursday.
DISTANCES
Although North Carolina got a
break in the bracket by playing in
nearby Greensboro, fellow Tar
Heel State school Davidson
could be a little travel-weary.
The Tar Heels have the short-
est distance for their opening
game, a short bus ride of about 47
miles, with Duke needing only a
couple more miles to face Lehigh
in the same arena.
Davidson has the second-long-
est longest trip of about 2,800
miles to play Louisville in Por-
tland, Ore., a few miles shorter
than VCUs trip to the Northwest
to face Wichita State.
Thats a long plane ride or
roughly 46 hours on a bus. Were
guessing theyll fly.
Kentucky also has a quick trip
of about 77 miles to play Western
Kentucky in Louisville, while
Harvards players will haveplenty
of time to catch up on their read-

CLEARWATER, Fla. Roy
Halladay was yanked in the third
inning after getting rocked in
the Minnesota Twins 6-4 victory
over the Philadelphia Phillies on
Wednesday.
Halladay allowed five runs
and seven hits, including two
homers, in 2
2
3 innings. Halladay
gave up a long three-run homer
to Chris Parmelee in the third.
He left after walking the next
batter on four pitches.
It was a rare sight to see the
eight-time All-Star and two-time
Cy Young Award winner strug-
gle like this. Halladay is 40-16
with a 2.40 ERA, 17 complete
games and five shutouts in his
two seasons with the Phillies.
Twins starter Jason Marquis
gave up four runs and eight hits
in four innings.
Josh Willingham hit a solo
shot off Halladay in the first. His
RBI single in the third tied it 2-2.
Tigers 7, Mets 6 (10 inn.)
LAKELAND, Fla. Prince
Fielder homered and had three
hits.
Fielders two-run homer came
off Mets starter Dillon Gee in
the fourth inning. Delmon
Young had two hits for the Ti-
gers, including a two-run single
in a four-run fifth all un-
earned against Mets left-
hander Chuck James.
Gee struck out five in four
innings in his third spring start.
Detroit starter Max Scherzer
did not get through the Mets
four-run third. After giving up a
hit and two walks and hitting
Zach Lutz with a pitch, Scherzer
was replaced by Casey Crosby.
Daniel Schlereth pitched two
innings of shutout relief for the
win. Quintin Berry drove in
Andy Dirks with the winning
run in the 10th inning.
Blue Jays 7, Yankees 5
DUNEDIN, Fla. New York
Yankees pitcher Freddy Garcia
sustained a bruised right hand
in the fourth inning when he
was hit by a comebacker off the
bat of Edwin Encarnacion, who
also hit two home runs.
Garcia, who allowed Encarna-
cions homer in the second in-
ning, immediately came out of
the game and was taken to Tam-
pa, where Dr. Allen Miller, the
Yankees Tampa-based orthope-
dic surgeon, treated him. X-rays
were taken. There was no imme-
diate additional information.
Encarnacion, safe at first,
scored on J.P. Arencibias second
homer, off Cory Wade, to put the
Blue Jays ahead 3-1. Encarna-
cion then homered off Manny
Banuelos in the fifth.
Curtis Granderson had an RBI
double in the third inning that
scored Derek Jeter.
Astros 4, Cardinals 3
JUPITER, Fla. St. Louis
starter Lance Lynn retired the
final eight batters he faced in the
loss.
Lynn was destined for the
bullpen when spring training
opened. But the Cardinals said
this week Lynn would be treated
like a starter until Chris Carpen-
ter shows he can return to the
rotation.
A 24-year-old right-hander,
Lynn made his major league
debut in 2011, going 1-1 in18
appearances (two starts) with a
3.12 ERA. He appeared in10
postseason games and was 2-0.
His two spring appearances
before Wednesday came in re-
lief.
Pirates 11, Orioles 5
SARASOTA, Fla. Balti-
mores Nick Markakis was hit-
less in three at-bats in his first
game since returning from off-
season surgery.
Markakis left the final game of
the 2011 season with an injury to
his abdomen. He tried to reha-
bilitate it, but had surgery in
January to repair the torn mus-
cle. Manager Buck Showalter
started him for the first time as
the designated hitter. He struck
out, grounded out and walked
before leaving the game after
five innings.
Marlins 4, Rays 2
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla.
Anibal Sanchez was dominant in
his spring debut, striking out
four in two scoreless innings.
The right-hander, whose de-
but had been pushed back due
to soreness in the back side of
his right shoulder, allowed two
hits.
Jeremy Hellickson, making
his second spring start and
third appearance gave up four
runs on four hits with a walk
and three strikeouts in three
innings. A scary moment oc-
curred in the top of the fourth
inning when Rays outfielders
B.J. Upton and Desmond Jen-
nings collided chasing a flyball
by Austin Kearns. It was ruled
an inside-the-park home run,
and the speedy outfielders were
carted off the field. Both Upton
and Jennings told reporters they
are OK.
Indians 2, Giants 2 (10 inn.)
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. San
Francisco catcher Buster Posey
made his first spring hit count as
he recovers from a serious leg
injury, hitting a home run in the
Giants 10-inning tie with Cleve-
land.
Serving as the DH, Posey hit a
1-1 pitch from left-hander Tony
Sipp just inside the foul pole in
right field to tie the game in the
sixth inning.
Padres (ss) 8,
Diamondbacks (ss) 0
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.
Chase Headley and Carlos
Quentin hit back-to-back home
runs and Nate Freiman added a
three-run homer, and the San
Diego Padres split squad beat
the Arizona Diamondbacks split
squad.
Padres starter Joe Wieland
struck out four and allowed two
hits in four innings.
Patrick Corbin started the
game for Arizona and allowed
three hits and struck out three in
three scoreless innings. Trevor
Bauer, the third overall pick of
last Junes draft, followed Cor-
bin, going two innings and giv-
ing up one hit and one walk
while striking out three.
Takashi Saito gave up the
home runs to Headley and
Quentin, the first two batters he
faced.
Padres (ss) 9, Reds (ss) 4
GOODYEAR, Ariz. Aroldis
Chapman pitched more than
two innings in a big league game
for the first time, allowing one
run over three innings of the
Cincinnati Reds loss to a San
Diego Padres in a game between
split squads.
Chapman revived a split-finger
fastball while allowing four hits,
including a homer to Andy Par-
rino.
The Cuban defector is being
converted into a starting pitcher
and he is competing for the fifth
spot in the Reds rotation. He is
the only left-hander among the
group.
Todd Frazier, who is compet-
ing for role backing up third
baseman Scott Rolen, had a
two-run double off Clayton
Richard for the Reds.
Brewers 10, Cubs 2
MESA, Ariz. (AP) George
Kottaras doubled twice and
drove in five runs, leading the
Milwaukee Brewers to a win
over the Chicago Cubs.
Brewers starter Randy Wolf
gave up his first two runs of
spring training in his third start.
he had gone 7
2
3 innings before
Starlin Castro doubled to the
wall in right-center to open the
two-run fourth.
Castro, who led the National
League in hits last season, went
1 for 3. Travis Wood gave up six
runs five earned while
getting just one out.
Rockies 6, Rangers 1
SURPRISE, Ariz. Jordan
Pacheco went 3 for 3 with three
RBIs and Todd Helton had two
doubles and drove in a run, and
the Colorado Rockies beat the
Texas Rangers.
Tyler Chatwood, who is com-
peting for the final spot in the
Rockies rotation, held Texas to
one run on four hits with one
walk and two strikeouts.
Helton and Pacheco had con-
secutive one-out doubles off
Rangers starter Neftali Feliz to
give the Rockies a 1-0 lead in the
second.
White Sox 9, Angels 7
GLENDALE, Ariz. Albert
Pujols hit his first two homers
for the Angels and Ervin Santa-
na exited after being hit by a line
drive in Los Angeles loss the
Chicago White Sox.
Santana left with a bruised
right arm after Alexei Ramirezs
liner struck him in the shoulder
with one out in the second in-
ning. As he iced the shoulder,
Santana said no X-ray was
planned.
Pujols hit a three-run homer
off left-hander Chris Sale in the
third inning. Then he hit a solo
shot off Anthony Carter in the
fifth.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla.
David Wrights left rib cage in-
jury has been diagnosed as a
muscle tear, but the New York
Mets third baseman said hell
be ready by opening day.
Wright returned to camp
Wednesday after receiving a
cortisone shot Monday in
New York. The injury oc-
curred during a fielding drill
early in camp and he hasnt
played in a spring training
game this year.
Wright is expected to re-
sume baseball activities to-
day. He said he just needs
about two weeks to prepare
for the season, which starts
April 4.
I think Im past the diffi-
cult part, Wright said.
Now its just a matter of
getting back in the swing of
things and making sure that I
can get back on the field as
soon as my body will allow
me to, and then get some at-
bats.
Last week, he had been
fielding grounders and run-
ning, but not hitting.
Wright said the cortisone
shot was the best way for him
to get on the field faster, but
had the injury occurred dur-
ing the season, he might have
remained in the lineup. He
played through the back inju-
ry for a while last season be-
fore finally getting a diagnos-
is.
It wasnt so much a sharp
pain. Its just more of an un-
comfortable cramp, Wright
said of his rib cage injury.
This would have been one of
the times where I would have
hoped that I could have
played through it, but it
doesnt make any sense doing
that now.

Pa. income, job loss
less than U.S. average
The median household income of
Pennsylvanians fell 4.9 percent from
2007 to 2010, according to figures
released Wednesday by the U.S. Con-
gress Joint Economic Committee.
Nationally, household income fell even
more, by 6.4 percent.
In its Understanding the Economy:
State-by-State Snapshots report, the
committee also said Pennsylvania lost
1.9 percent of its jobs during the last
recession, less than the 4 percent loss
for the nation as a whole.
U.S. Sen. Robert P. Casey, D-Scran-
ton, is chairman of the committee.
Treasury yields on rise
Prices for U.S. Treasury debt plunged
for the fifth straight trading session
Wednesday, and the yield on the bench-
mark 10-year note spiked to 2.27 per-
cent, the highest level since October.
Money poured out of bonds and into
stocks after rosy words on Tuesday
from the Federal Reserve gave traders
confidence that the economic recovery
is strengthening. Major stock market
averages are at or near four-year highs.
Treasury yields and interest rates
that take their cues from Treasury
yields, including mortgage rates
remain near all-time lows. So while
mortgage rates may creep up, they
should remain historically low.
Trade deficit widens
The Commerce Department said
Wednesday that the current account
trade deficit increased 15.3 percent in
the October-December quarter, to
$124.1 billion.
A higher trade deficit acts as a drag
on growth. It means more goods and
services are being purchased from
overseas, while U.S. companies are
making fewer sales overseas.
For the year, the current account
deficit rose 0.6 percent to $473.4 bil-
lion, the largest imbalance since 2008.
Portugal is no Greece
Bailed-out Portugals recovery pro-
gram is on track and doesnt face the
same threats as Greece, the European
Commissions top economic official
said Wednesday.
Portugal followed Greece and Ireland
in needing a financial rescue last year.
The $101.6 billion bailout spared it
from bankruptcy as investors took
fright amid the eurozones sovereign
debt crisis.

WASHINGTON Beware of
car dealer ads that promise to pay
off the loan on your trade-in.
In a first-of-its-kind case, the
Federal Trade Commission target-
ed five car dealers in four states
that regulators say deceived con-
sumers by promising to pay off
their loans, no matter what was
owedonthe cars. The balance, the
FTCsaid, was usually rolled right
into the new car loan. One dealer
laterrequiredcustomerstopaythe
balance out of pocket.
Settlements agreed to by the
dealerswouldrequirethemtostop
runningtheadsontheirwebpages
and other sites such as YouTube.
The settlements remainsubject to
a final vote by the commission af-
ter a 30-day public comment peri-
od.
Wednesdays announcement
from the commission named dea-
lerships in South Dakota, North
Carolina, Connecticut and West
Virginia.
The FTC has brought cases
against auto dealers before, but
not for this kind of advertising.
The last thing consumers
need is to be tricked into thinking
that a dealer will pay off what they
oweontheir current vehicle, when
they really wont, said David Vla-
deck, head of the commissions
consumer protection bureau.
As part of the proposed settle-
ments, the dealers would be
barred from future deceptive ads.
They also wouldnot be allowedto
misrepresent anyother facts inthe
leasing and financing of a car.
Misleading
car dealer
ads eyed

NEWYORKGoldman Sachs, argua-
bly the most storied investment bank on
Wall Street, has been compared to a mon-
ey-sucking vampire squid and called the
evil empire of finance. On Wednesday it
got an entirely different kind of black eye
delivered by one of its own.
Greg Smith, an executive director at
the bank, resigned with a blistering opin-
ion column that accused the bank of los-
ingits moral fiber, puttingprofits ahead
of customers interests and dismissing
customers as mup-
pets.
The decline of the
banks culture, he wrote,
threatened the banks
survival after 143 years.
The stinging op-ed,
Why I Am Leaving
Goldman Sachs, which
appeared in The New York Times, was
the talk of Wall Street and was widely cir-
culated online.
Goldman swiftly issued a three-sen-
tence statement disagreeing with Smith.
Inour view, the banksaid, we will only
be successful if our clients are successful.
This fundamental truth lies at the heart
of how we conduct ourselves.
Smith, identifiedbyTheTimesasheadof
the companys United States equity deriva-
tives business in Europe, the Middle East
and Africa, wrote that he attended sales
meetings in which helping clients make
money was not part of the discussion.
Smith wrote that Goldman had de-
volved from a company he was proud to
workfor whenhejoined. Hesaidthebank
needs to weed out the morally bankrupt
people and suggested that the erosion of
Goldmans culture threatened its future.
Smith wrote that there are easy paths
to becoming a leader at Goldman, includ-
ing persuading clients to invest in prod-
ucts the company wants to get rid of or
will bring the most profit to Goldman.
On Wall Street, the editorial may have
been shocking in tone, but it was not sur-
prisingincontent. Goldmans peers, even
some of its customers, take its pursuit of
profit as ordinary business.

Already this is
the fourth
warmest March
on record and
there is plenty of
very warm
weather on the
way, lasting well
into next week.
Our standing
may improve.
Indeed, records
are being broken
this week from
Minneapolis to
Atlantic City. On
Wednesday in
Chicago, it was
the third earliest
80-degree day
on record. In
parts of our
area, the daf-
fodils are
already bloom-
ing. Will we have
to pay for this in
April? Time will
tell. For now,
there are no
signs of having
the bottom fall
out. The very
unusual snow-
stormwe had
last October is
no reason to
lose sleep over
the likelihood of
having one in
April.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: A storm system will push onshore out West, bringing rain, higher elevation
snow and breezy to windy conditions from the Pacic Northwest into northern California today.
Meanwhile, scattered showers and thunderstorms will be found from the Mid-and Lower Mississippi
Valley into the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys. Some storms may be severe.

LOS ANGELES For weeks,
South Pasadena High School se-
nior Alex Hom knew he wanted
to ask freshman Brooke Drury
to winter formal. But it wouldnt
do to just pop the question
too boring or, even worse, to
text it.
So he rounded up more than
20 friends, supplied them with
red roses, choreographed a
dance routine and wrote out his
plea on signs. Then he had a
friend bring Brooke, blindfold-
ed, to a spot on campus for the
big production.
I thought, this is my senior
year and I gotta go out with a
bang, Alex said.
Hes not the only student ele-
vating the art of the school
dance invitation.
Students are folding the ques-
tion into homemade fortune
cookies, tucking it into pinatas,
knitting it into scarves, spelling
it out with pepperoni on pizza
and orange chicken on fried
rice.
There are animal-themed in-
vitations, using live puppies and
turtles as messengers. There are
glow-in-the-dark schemes. One
student at Lincoln High School
spelled it out in candles: HC
(homecoming), yes and no.
The date blew out her answer
(yes).
Then there are those who
choose to go the performance-
art route.
Camille Santos, Van Nuys
Highs student body vice presi-
dent, recalled one student who
dressed up as a knight and got a
friend to dress up as a dragon to
attack his prospective date.
Then he rode onto the scene on
the back of another friend
dressed as a steed, slayed the
dragon and popped the ques-
tion.
We live in a generation where
flashy is good, bigger is better,
said Camille, whose boyfriend
presented his invitation to prom
two years ago inside a rhine-
stone-studded fortune cookie
box after dinner at a Chinese
restaurant.
We want to be seen. We want
the world to know how roman-
tic we are.

ThoughFacebook nowclaims a tenth

ers, many in its original demographic
young adults have attempted,
sometimes successfully, to go against
the grain. Call it Facebook fatigue, so-
cial-network sickness, sensory over-

ers to call it quits.
At least for a little while.

By MATT HUSTON The Philadelphia Inquirer
We visited Kings College in Wilkes-Barre to talk to Facebook users about how much they love or hate
the social network thats invaded NEPA as well as the rest of the world.
Jayne Klenner-
Moore, associate
professor, Computers
& Information Sys-
tems.
How many Face-
book friends do you
have? A little over
1,000.
How many of those do you see or
talk to regularly? There are definitely
more people that I dont talk to than I
do.
What is your biggest pet peeve
about Facebook? Students dont under-
stand that once its out there, its forev-
er. I see a lot of them posting things
that are probably better left off the
Internet. They need to realize that
employers will actually check your
Facebook. Ive seen it happen.
Have you ever thought about quit-
ting Facebook? No, because then how
would I remember everyones birthday?
Seriously, though, it can be very useful
for communication so I cant see myself
getting rid of it.
Why, mainly, do you stay on Face-
book? Its an addictive behavior, isnt it?
For me, though, its about function. I use
it when I need to speak to a larger
group of people, like a class, or when I
want to contact someone with some-
thing specific in mind.
Mike Pierce, 23,
Bensalem
How many Face-
book friends do you
have? About 300.
How many of
those do you see or
talk to regularly? A
handful, a dozen maybe.
about Facebook? That new timeline
is terrible. My profile still doesnt have
it, and I dont want it to. I know eventu-
ally Im going to be forced to, though.
Its confusing, and I think its harder to
just write on somebodys wall, which
was always easy. You cant tell what
post is yours.
Have you ever thought about
quitting Facebook? Plenty of times.
Google Plus is out now, and Im think-
ing about checking into that. Some-
times I think Facebook is a waste of
time and Id rather not be bothered,
but I know Ill always come back. Even
though I think about leaving, it prob-
ably wont stick.
book? I stay on to keep in touch with
friends and see what theyre up to, be
able to talk to them pretty much when-
ever I want to.
Melissa
DAniello, 21,
West Haven,
Conn.
How many
Facebook
friends do
you have?
About 600.
How many of those do you
see or talk to regularly?
Maybe 100, most of them
being on this campus.
What is your biggest pet
peeve about Facebook? Peo-
ple complain on it all the time.
Constantly. Theres also no
privacy anymore. With the
time stamps and locations,
people can know what youre
doing and when youre doing
it.
Have you ever thought
about quitting Facebook?
Not at all. It would cut off a lot
of communication.
Why, mainly, do you stay
on Facebook? I stay on to
keep in touch with people, to
see how they are. Most of
them are friends, but some
are also family.
Amy Brown, 19,
West Wyoming
How many
Facebook friends
do you have?
Around 200.
How many of
those do you see
or talk to regularly? Half of them,
about 100.
about Facebook? I dont like all the
drama that Facebook can cause.
Mainly, its when someone posts a
status, then someone else com-
ments on it thinking its about
them, and it just keeps going from
there. Facebook can cause a lot of
problems.
Have you ever thought about
quitting Facebook? Nope. I
wouldnt be able to keep in touch
with friends and family that are on
it and see what everyone is up to.
Why, mainly, do you stay on
Facebook? Besides being able to
keep in touch, its a great insight
into people. People tend to say
things on Facebook that they
wouldnt say out loud. Its always
interesting to see what theyre
thinking.
Fercandy Justo, 20,
Teaneck, N.J.
How many Face-
book friends do you
have? 884.
How many of those
do you see or talk to
regularly? I would
have to say about 70.
Theyre a combination of people from
Kings and also high-school friends.
about Facebook? Right now I cant
stand the new timeline setup. Its
confusing and unappealing. I also dont
like the way privacy settings are han-
dled any more. They change a lot, and I
never know what is private and what
isnt. It used to be simple to figure out
who could see what, but now you can
never tell.
Have you ever thought about quit-
ting Facebook? I actually have gotten
rid of my Facebook several times, for a
period of like a month or two. I just found
that I was too involved with it, that it was
taking up a lot of time. But I always go
back. Its addicting.
book? For the most part I do it to keep in
touch with friends. Even if its not talking
to themdirectly, I can still see what
theyre up to. Also, now there all these
games and apps you can use through it.
Its become its own little world.

Shreffler said todays high-
school students are part of the
millennial generation those
born between 1982 and 2004
who grew up with technology
and social media and find it nat-
ural to post their experiences
and opinions online for mass
consumption.
As teens see others post vid-
eos and photos of creative dance
invitations, it emboldens them
to follow suit, she said.
Commercial films also serve
as inspiration: One South Pasa-
dena student invited his date to
winter formal this year using a
series of signs, as portrayed in
the 2003 film Love Actually.
And last years movie Prom
featured students asking dates
out in unusual ways.
Now its a matter of making
the invitation as big a deal as the
event itself, said Shreffler, edi-
tor of Ypulse, a youth media,
marketing and research firm.
Its about being incredibly cre-
ative and cool, and doing some-
thing that hasnt been done be-
fore.
Andy Chen, a Poly senior,
came up with his own idea last
year to personalize his junior
prom invitation to girlfriend
Courtney Yang.
Knowing she liked turtles, An-
dy left gifts of turtle chocolates,
a turtle pillow and a turtle key
chain for her throughout the day
at school; when she returned
home, she found a live turtle in a
tank with the note: Will you go
to prom with me?
At Torres High School in East
L.A., Andre Jahchan said the
asking ritual sometimes be-
comes a high-stakes competi-
tion. Youre in a race against
someone, he said. You want to
win over the next guy.
And woe to those who text
their question.
Camille, the Van Nuys stu-
dent, said that gutless way ranks
right down there with getting
someone else to ask for you.
I want it to be heartfelt, she
said of an invitation. I want to
know they have the courage to
face me and all of my friends.
Thats what Alex managed to
do for Brooke in front of more
than 30 of their friends and on-
lookers on campus. His crewvid-
eotaped their routine and en-
tered it into South Pasadena
Highs annual winter formal vid-
eo contest.
They came in third place. But
to Brooke, the effort ranked No.
1.
I nearly fainted, she said. I
cant believe anyone would do
anything that amazing for me.
As for the dance invitation
she said yes.

Laura Amatulli, a senior at the
College of New Jersey, has given
up the site for Lent four times.
Dan Granados, 17, of Levit-
town, Pa., stopped using his ac-
count a few weeks ago. For him,
its a personal challenge.
I just decided to deactivate it,
see howlong I could go, he said.
The social network, along with
competitors like Twitter and the
recentlylaunchedGoogle-plus, is
ingrained in the everyday lives of
students andyoungprofessionals
who came of age as social net-
working was on the rise. But
Facebook, witha hugeinitial pub-
lic offering expected this spring,
looms largest.
Those who quit Facebook give
a variety of reasons: superficial
connections, inappropriate
posts, distraction from work or
other activities. Stepping away
from the constant data feed can
be a relief, they say.
AccordingtoZizi Papacharissi,
head of the Department of Com-
municationat theUniversityof Il-
linois-Chicago, the reason people
leave Facebook is tied to the rea-
son they start using it in the first
place. They are balancing social
opportunity with risk, she said.
Those who give it up are the ones
who decide that the costs out-
weigh the benefits.
Maybe its taking up too much
time, maybe its taking up too
much effort, Papacharissi said.
Another complaint is over-shar-
ing. The average number of Face-
book friends per user is 245, ac-
cording to a Pew Research Cen-
ter sample. But these connec-
tions dont always amount to
information that users actually
want to pay attention to.
Id say there was a good 200
people that I either didnt know
very well or didnt know at all,
Granados said.
Derek Snyder, 20, a student at
Indiana University of Pennsylva-
nia, saidhe was unhappywiththe
amount of drinking photos and
other posts he deemed inappro-
priate.
He prefers Twitter: No pic-
tures, easier to use, nobody talk-
ing drama on you or anybody
else.
The pull of Facebook, however,
is not always easy to escape. So
prevalent is thesiteamongyoung
people, some ex-users face per-
sonal temptation and even com-
plaints from their friends.
People get angry at you, said
Cara OKeeney, 22, a College of
NewJersey senior. She deactivat-
ed her account in September and
said her friends are still sending
her text messages about it.
Papacharissi stressed that
Facebook is a real domain for
friendship.
Youwant tothinkof Facebook
as just a different place where
people interact, she said. Just
like you go with your friends to
the bar or to the movies ... Face-
book is just another place.
This is OKeeneys second hia-
tus fromFacebook, and she plans
to reactivate her account in
March, around the time of spring
break. She recalls the inconve-
niences from the first time
around.
If she wanted to send a friend a
quick message, she used e-mail.
I felt sort of in the Dark Ages
when I had to do that, she said.
Admitting the possibility that
they might go back, former Face-
book users cited the desire to
keep in touch with graduating
friends, meet new roommates,
and maintain a social connection
that theystartedtotake for grant-
ed.
When I got rid of Facebook, I
found myself wanting to reactiva-
te almost immediately after I got
rid of it ... I found myself really
needing a social outlet, OKee-
ney said.
Andrews said Twitter, her cur-
rent outlet of choice, had started
to take up her time in ways Face-
book used to.
It became second nature to
click the Facebook thing on my
phone, she said, attesting to the
automatic behavior that several
ex-users described.
Not every young person fre-
quents bars, and not everyone
will stay glued to Facebook.
Some might even ditch it all to-
gether.
But the social-media giant is
undoubtedly here to stay, Papa-
charissi said. Colleges and uni-
versities themselves are on Face-
book these days.
It is more and more difficult
for people to leave Facebook be-
cause its become very much a so-
cial institution, she said. A ser-
vice like Facebook will continue
to the point of ubiquity. It will be
like social wallpaper.

ily functions or get-togethers with
friends. Sam uses these gatherings to
be the star of the show, spilling out
the most outrageous whoppers.
My family knows when hes lying
or exaggerating. Sam never owns up
to anything he has done wrong. If I
confront him, he says Im always
belittling him in front of others.
I dont have the respect I wish I had
for him. What can I do?
Disenchanted in the Land of
Enchantment
Dear Disenchanted: After 32 years,
there is nothing you can do about it.
Your husband has a personality prob-
lem that causes him to lie to get at-
tention. Its pathetic, really. However,
to embarrass him by pointing it out
in front of others is cruel and unpro-
ductive. Until hes ready to admit to
himself that he has damaged his cred-
ibility so badly that no one believes a
word he says, nothing will change.
Dear Abby: My close friend Kate
has just told me shes getting a di-
vorce. She confided that she cheated
on her husband, Phil, and says she
doesnt want to try to work on her
marriage, even though they have a
baby together. Kate says that Phil is
a great father and hes not abusive
she just doesnt love him anymore.
This came as a shock, and Im not
sure how to be supportive. When I di-
vorced, my husband was the one who
cheated and left me, so I know how
Kates husband feels. I know I should
be sympathetic to her, but I dont
know what to say. Can you help?
Trying Not to Judge
Dear Trying: Continue trying not to
judge. It is understandable that youd
identify with Kates husband since his
position is so similar to what you ex-
perienced. If you know and like him,
befriend him. Im sure he could use a
friend right now. However, before you
do, ask Kate if she would mind.
As to your question about what to
say to her, all you really need to do is
acknowledge her announcement by
saying, Im sorry to hear it. I hope
you have given it careful consider-
ation. Period.
Dear Abby: Im 15. My father just
started paying child support three
years ago for my twin sister and me.
He only pays a small amount each
month, and he has never paid any
medical or health bills for either of us
in our lives.
Recently we found out he lied
about his monthly salary so he
wouldnt have to pay for us. Im re-
ally hurt because I feel like he doesnt
care about us. How do I cope? Help!
Incredibly Hurt in the South
Dear Incredibly Hurt: While I can
understand your disappointment in
your fathers lack of character, please
do not allow his failures to make you
think less of yourself. His behavior
shows that he doesnt care about
anyone but himself. Now that you and
your mother know he lied about his
income, its possible the child support
he didnt pay can be collected retroac-
tively. If your mother hasnt discussed
this with an attorney, she should do
it now.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Wifes respect for her husband continues to shrink as tall tales grow
To receive a collection of Abbys most
memorable and most frequently re-
quested poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus
check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in
Canada) to: Dear Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box
447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage
is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You may
be amazed at the lack of humor
in the world. Youll shine as you
do what you have fun doing.
When its not fun, you shine
because you try to make it fun
anyway.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Youll
learn more from what you did
wrong in the past than you
will from what you did right. It
doesnt mean youre a pessimist;
it just means youre human.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You may
not be fully aware of your atten-
tion needs now. You want people
to notice you because you get a
lift from the energy that comes
from eyeballs and intentions
being focused on you.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You
deserve the luxury of quality
help. You need people around
you who have experience in the
area you want to master. Seek
the best.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Greatness
doesnt happen overnight. Take
the pressure off yourself. Be con-
tent with minor results for now.
Theres much that can be accom-
plished if youre willing to start
small and build gradually.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Youre
a better person because of the
way you reach out. A compas-
sionate energy radiates from
you. Theres also a kindness in
your tone of voice that resonates
with all who hear you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your
problem may seem of little or no
consequence to someone else.
That doesnt make it any less
real to you. Can you step out-
side of yourself and split the
difference?
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You
need people in your life who
can fill in your blanks with the
appropriate skills. Realize your
deficiencies, and celebrate them.
They give you an excuse to bond.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Your commitment to a friendship
will shape your day. Youll act
out of loyalty and a sense of jus-
tice. Tonight, youll enjoy a boost
of special appeal, and youll
attract the one you want.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You
have added value to a group.
Share your good ideas, and pres-
ent yourself in the best light.
Its not bragging if your primary
intention is to help others.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You
could save someone from mak-
ing a mistake. Indeed, you wish
someone had done the same for
you. Whether or not the other
person takes your help is anoth-
er story.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The
tasks necessary to keep your
life running smoothly may not
be the ones that promote your
dreams, goals and ambitions.
Could you delegate some of
them to another person?
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (March 15).
Many people would not be where
they are today if it werent for
your birth. Enjoy the impact
youve already had on the world
as you make new plans for the
year. An April adventure involves
partners with different strengths
and knowledge. Together youll
reach a goal by June. Love
delights and mystifies you in
July. Libra and Aries people
adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 8, 26, 1, 24 and 17.
