TOBYHANNA The Tobyhanna Army
Depot will celebrate 100 years of military

In 1995, the depot found itself on a short

by an independent review panel charged
withdeciding whichfacilities to close.
Residents and leaders throughout North-
east Pennsylvania rallied around the re-

TOBYHANNA -- When the U.S.
Army first arrived in Tobyhanna a
century ago, ice-harvesting oper-
ations and the nearby railroad were
the primary industries.
Now the depot that the military
established on 1,296 acres on the
Pocono Plateau is the regions largest
employer and the name of the once
small village its in is synonymous in
military circles with excellence in
electronics.
Originally used in 1912 as an artil-
lery training camp for the Army, the
center grew and evolved over 100
years from a few hundred leased acres
to more than 20,000 owned acres and
then back down to its current size.

who can defeat President Barack
Obama this fall. But the Massa-
chusetts governors roughly 20
percentage point margin over
Santorum on that question was
one of his slimmest yet.
Overall, the results painted
Louisiana as a state whose Re-
publicans are tailor-made for San-
torum, with large numbers of
conservative and religiously mo-
tivated voters.
Santorum was winning the
votes of nearly half of conserva-
tives and tea party supporters.
He was doing slightly better than
that among those without col-
lege degrees a measure of
blue-collar voters.
The devoutly and openly reli-
gious Santorum was also show-
ing his usual strength among
white born-again and evangelical
voters, and among the nearly
three-quarters of Louisiana vot-
ers who said it is important that
they share religious beliefs with
their candidate.
In another area where he was
turning in one of his best show-
ings, more than 4 in 10 Saturday
cited Santorum as the candidate
who best understands the typical
American, nearly doubling the
number citing Romney for that
quality.
Only around 1 in 5 Louisiana
voters said they were influenced
by a comment by a Romney aide
WASHINGTONRickSanto-
rum was turning in his most im-
pressive performance yet with
conservatives and blue-collar
voters as he rode to triumph Sat-
urday in Louisianas Republican
presidential primary, capturing
robust support from nearly all
types of people, according to pre-
liminary results of an exit poll.
Highlighting his strength, the
former Pennsylvania senator be-
sted Mitt Romney for the first
time among those calling the
economy the campaigns dom-
inant issue. As usual so far this
year, more voters named the
economy as their top concern
thanany other problemandmore
than 4 in 10 of them said Santo-
rum was their candidate an
embarrassment for Romney, the
former venture capitalist who
has claimed he knows best how
to create jobs.
Romney retained his usual
edge among voters whose most
prized characteristic in a GOP
candidate is finding someone
likening his campaigns tactics to
an Etch A Sketch toy, even
though it was one of the weeks
big political stories.
Those who said the remark
played an important role in their
choice were leaning toward San-
torum over Romney by almost a
3-1margin. But Santorumwas al-
so leading by double digits
among those saying the com-
ment was not significant for
them.
Asked whether Romneys posi-
tions in the GOP primary might
make him too conservative for
more moderate voters in Novem-
bers general election, Romney
adviser Eric Fehrnstromhad said
the campaign could start over in
thefall. Romneys opponents said
the remark shows he shifts his
views too easily.
Everything changes. Its al-
most like an Etch A Sketch. You
can kind of shake it up and start
all over again, Fehrnstrom said.
The fewgroups where Romney
was leading included people
earning over $200,000 a year and
people saying it didnt matter if
they shared religious beliefs with
a presidential contender.
Around 2 in 3 Louisiana voters
said they strongly support their
candidate, one of the strongest
measures of intensity in any state
so far. But majorities also said
they wouldbe content if Romney,
Santorum or former House
Speaker Newt Gingrich ultimate-
ly won the nomination.
Even as some national Repub-
lican leaders have started calling
for Romneys rivals to drop out
and begin uniting the party for
the fall campaign, only about 1in
4 Louisiana voters said they want
the GOP contest to end quickly,
evenif their contender loses. Sev-
en in 10 said they were happy for
the partys internal battle to con-
tinue as long as their candidate
wins.

LOS ANGELES Former
Vice President Dick Cheney had
a heart transplant Saturday
morning after waiting more
than 20 months on a transplant
list, his office reported.
Cheney, 71, received the new
organ from an anonymous do-
nor and was recovering in the
Intensive Care Unit of Inova
Fairfax Hospital in Falls Church,
Va., after undergoing the sur-
gery.
"Although the former Vice
President and his family do not
know the identity of the donor,
they will be forever grateful for
this lifesaving gift," aide Kara
Ahern said in a statement.
Cheney has battled a lifetime
of heart disease, suffering his
first of five heart attacks at age
37 and the most recent one in
2010, after which he had a de-
vice surgically inserted to assist
blood flow through his heart.
The device, known as an
LVAD, or left ventricular assist
device, has been described as a
temporary therapy representing
a "bridge" to a transplant. The
device had been implanted in
the same Virginia hospital
where his transplant took place.
The National Heart Lung and
Blood Institute reported that
about 88 percent of patients sur-
vive the first year after trans-
plant surgery and 75 percent
survive for five years.

Group supports Earth Hour
Misericordia Universitys environ-
mentally-focused student group, Cou-
gars for Change, is asking everyone in
the regional community to turn off
their lights for one hour beginning at
8:30 p.m. March 31 as part of a world-
wide initiative to draw attention to
responsible energy use and global
warming.
Earth Hour 2012 is
expected to have
more than 1 billion
participants world-
wide turn off all non-
essential lights for the
hour at a time cho-
sen to coincide with
the spring equinox
and when the most places on the globe
are suitably dark.
Earth Hour began in Sydney, Austra-
lia in 2007 as a singular event with 2.2
million participants. The 2011 event
involved about 1.8 billion people in 135
countries. Places that went dark in-
cluded the Golden Gate Bridge, Buck-
ingham Palace and the Sydney Opera
House.
Cougars for Change is working with
campus facilities to have all non-essen-
tial lights turned off on the campus,
including New Years Eve-style count-
down to when the Mary Kintz Bevevi-
no Library goes entirely dark at 8:30
p.m.
Outdoor activities on campus are
scheduled from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. and
will include educational talks by Dr.
Lynn Aldrich, associate professor of
physics and an environmental advo-
cate, and members of the local envi-
ronmental community. Musicians,
including student Aimee DiLucido, will
perform.

Two local areas hosted enthusiastic
volunteers on Saturday committed to
riverfront cleanup.
Both Shickshinny and Wilkes-Barre,
greatly impacted by fall flooding of
2011, benefited from the maintenance
effort in anticipation of spring and sum-
mer activities. Volunteers understood
that they were not simply picking up
trash, but improving the lives of their
neighbors and beautifying the commu-
nities in which they lived.
John Maday, a board member of the
Wilkes-Barre Riverfront Parks Commit-
tee, said the Wilkes-Barre cleanup was
especially necessary this year because
of debris remaining from the flooding.
"We are looking forward to utilizing
this area for Earth Day in April, so we
wanted to make sure that it was clean
and safe for children who will be partici-
pating," said Maday.
Maday, a volunteer with the commit-
tee for 22 years, said riverfront mainte-
nance is an ongoing endeavor. He said
the endurance of the parks reflects the
spirit of the residents who have main-
tained them in spite of challenges.
The cleanup in that area included
Nesbitt Park, Kirby Park Natural AreaA
and the River Common. More than 90
volunteers participated in the event.
Kim Vordy, a first time volunteer and
carrying a garbage bag , noted she had
pickedup"a lot of trashanddebris," and
she was glad to help make the riverfront
area a more welcoming place for area
residents.
Maday also emphasized area resi-
dents have a responsibility to tend to
the environment. He credits Vince Co-
trone, president of the committee, with

LEHMAN TWP. Two hundred
thirteen middle and high school histo-
ry students from 17 school districts in
eight counties of Northeastern Penn-
sylvania converged upon the Penn
State Wilkes-Barre campus on Satur-
day to participate in the 22nd annual
National History Day Competition.
They presented their research to a
panel of 31 judges including history
teachers and buffs to earn the right to
move into state and
national competitions
planned for May and
June.
Christyne Berzse-
nyi, Ph.D., from Penn
State Wilkes Barre,
said the theme of the
competition was
Revolution, Reaction
and Reform in Histo-
ry. Each students en-
try dealt with an
event, large or small,

HARVEYSLAKEIt was more like a
teddy bear dip, given the mild weather
and lack of ice Saturday, but the swim-
mers were no less enthusiastic about
the Harveys Lake Polar Bear Plunge
2012.
TheefforttoraisefundsfortheAmer-
icanCancer Society was well attended,
boasting 90 participants and at least as
many spectators.
Lake-Lehman High School juniors
Cassie Stevens, Bethany Williams and
Sami Sabol organized the event for
their senior project.
Stevens said it raised
about $6,000 between
pledges, T-shirt and
raffle ticket sales and
sponsorships.
About half that
amount came from
moneyraisedbytheIn-
terMetro Industries
team, which consisted
of about 10 employees
of the Wilkes-Barre-
basedmanufacturer.
With the honk of an
air horn, several teams took turns leap-
ing or stepping off a landing at the Har-
veys Lake Yacht Club and into the calf-
deepwater before wadingor divingout
farther until they were waist- to shoul-
ders-deep.
Sabol said they were
pleased with the turnout
and grateful to the spon-
sors. Without them, we
wouldnt have been able to
do it, she said.
Weve all done it before
andwe thought it wouldbe
a good project. Its for a
goodcause, Williams said.
The three organizers are
members of the Lake-Leh-
man swimteam, which is a
traditionfor the event, said
community mentor Mau-
reenDevine, ateacheratLake-Lehman.
She said the girls did a wonderful job
and managed to muster the largest
turnout since the event began.

ATLANTA
Study: Cheating possible
H
undreds of school systems nation-
wide exhibit suspicious test scores
that point to the possibility of cheating,
according to an investigation by The
Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The newspaper examined test re-
sults for 70,000 public schools and
found high concentrations of scores in
school systems from coast to coast.
The analysis doesnt prove cheating.
It reveals that scores in hundreds of
cities followed a pattern that, in Atlan-
ta, indicated cheating in multiple
schools.
The AJC reported in 2008 and 2009
about statistically improbable jumps in
test scores within the 109-school Atlan-
ta Public Schools system. Those re-
ports led to an investigation by Georgia
officials, which found that at least 180
principals, teachers and other staff
took part in widespread test-tampering
in the 50,000-student district.
SANFORD, FLA.
Chief threatened over probe
Authorities say a Florida man is
charged with threatening the police
chief who had been overseeing the
investigation into the shooting death of
an unarmed black teen by a neigh-
borhood watch captain.
The Seminole County Sheriffs Office
says John Carnduff Stewart of Mel-
bourne Beach emailed Sanford Police
Chief Bill Lee on Friday, saying Lee
and his family should be killed. Mel-
bourne beach is nearly 70 miles south
of Sanford.
The sheriffs office says Stewart has
sent threatening emails previously,
including threats to Penn State Uni-
versity assistant football coach Mike
McQueary.
CAIRO
Soldiers clash with fans
Egyptian soldiers clashed with thou-
sands of angry soccer fans in a Mediter-
ranean coastal city over the suspension
of their club following a deadly riot last
month, witnesses said Saturday. A
medical official said a teenager was
killed and 68 people injured.
The Feb. 1 melee following a match
in the city of Port Said in which at least
73 people died was the worlds worst
soccer-related disaster in 15 years. The
causes remain murky. Officers have
been charged with assisting Port Said
fans attack supporters of a Cairo club
who had a long history of enmity with
the police.
LONDON
Queen crashes wedding
Britains Queen Elizabeth II has
become a wedding crasher.
The monarch dropped in moments
after the nuptials of John and Frances
Canning at Manchester Town Hall in
northern England on Friday.
The newlyweds said Saturday the
queen chatted and posed for wedding
photographs. The queen and her hus-
band Prince Philip, the Duke of Edin-
burgh, were visiting the venue for
lunch at the same time the wedding
took place.
The 48-year-old groom knew before-
hand that the queen would be visiting
the town hall and jokingly wrote to
Buckingham Palace to invite the mon-
arch, the tabloid reported. He received
a polite reply declining the invitation,
but palace officials secretly arranged
the meeting, the paper said.

Keeping a colorful Easter tradition
Melanie Baier, a Sorb woman, in tradi-
tional clothes, works on a giant Easter
egg at a market in Schleife, about 100
miles southeast of Berlin, on Saturday.
The eggs are colorful, painted and
decorated with hot wax in different
designs for Easter holidays. That is a
long tradition in Sorb families. Sorbs
are an ethnic Slavic German minority
located near the German-Polish bor-
der.
WASHINGTONU.S. investigators
believe the U.S. soldier accused of kill-
ing 17 Afghan civilians split the slaugh-
ter into two episodes, returning to his
base after the first attack and later slip-
ping away to kill again, two American
officials said Saturday.
This scenario seems to support the
U.S. governments assertion contest-
ed by some Afghans that the killings
were done by one person, since they
would have been perpetrated over a
longer period of time than assumed
when Army Staff Sgt. Robert Bales was
detained March 11 outside his base in
southern Afghanistan.
But it also raises
new questions about
how Bales, who was
formally charged Fri-
day with 17 counts of
premeditated murder
and other crimes,
could have carried out
the nighttime attacks
without drawing attention from any
Americans on the Kandahar province
base.
The two American officials who dis-
closed the investigators finding spoke
on condition of anonymity because the
politically sensitive probe is ongoing.
Many details about the killings, in-
cluding a possible motive, have not
been made public. The documents re-
leasedbytheU.S. militaryFridayincon-
nection with the murder charges do not
include a timeline or a narrative of what
is alleged to have happened.
Bales, 38, is accusedof killingnine Af-
ghan children and eight adults. The
bodies were found in Balandi and Alko-
zai villages one north and one south
of the base, in Kandahars Panjwai dis-
trict.
Bales also was charged with six
counts of attempted murder and six
counts of assault in the same case.
U.S. investigators now believe that
Bales walked off his base that night and
killed several people in one of the villag-
es, then went back to the base. The
American officials, who are privy to
some details of the investigation, said
they do not know why Bales returned,
howlonghe stayedor what he didwhile
there.
He then slipped off the base a second
time and killed civilians in the second
village before again heading back to-
ward the base. It was while he was re-
turning the second time that a U.S. mil-
itary search party spotted him. He is re-
ported to have surrendered without a
struggle.
Bales is being held in a military pris-
on at Fort Leavenworth, Kan.
There have been previous suggesti-
ons that Bales could have returned to
base after the first set of shootings.

BEIRUT Syrian troops
shelled rebellious areas in cen-
tral and northern Syria on Sat-
urday in the latest push to
quash the uprising against
President Bashar Assad, but
faced fierce resistance from ar-
my defectors, activists said.
Much of the days fighting
focused on the northeastern
town of Saraqeb, which activ-
ists said regime troops and
tanks entered from the north
amid heavy shelling.
The Britain-based Syrian
Observatory for Human
Rights said fighting reached
the central market district
where army defectors dam-
aged a tank
and three ar-
mored person-
nel carriers.
Late Saturday,
it said 2 rebel
fighters and 9
government
troops had
been killed in
the clashes.
Large num-
bers of resi-
dents are fleeing the town,
said Rami Abdul-Rahman,
who heads the Observatory,
which has a network of activ-
ists inside Syria. People have
been leaving the town for
some time but after todays at-
tack the process intensified.
Government troops also
shelled parts of the central
city of Homs and the nearby
town of al-Qusair. Activist vid-
eos posted online Saturday
showed explosions in residen-
tial neighborhoods sending up
balls of flame and huge plumes
of black smoke.
The Observatory said 14
people were killed Saturday in
Homs province. Another
group, the Local Coordination
Committees, put the death toll
there at 24. Both said more
than 40 people were killed na-
tionwide.
Syrias government has been
on the offensive over the past
two months and has pushed re-
bels from a number of strong-
holds.

LEON, Mexico It had become tra-
dition in Mexico. Before daybreak,
youths would creep as close as security
permitted and serenade their beloved
Pope John Paul II with a song of greet-
ing and celebration.
Now a new, less familiar pope had
come, seeking to strengthen his own
ties with the largest Spanish-speaking
Catholic nation.
So well before dawn Saturday, two
dozen youths from a Guadalajara church
group gathered near the school where
the Pope Benedict XVI was staying. We
sang with all our heart and all our
force, said Maria Fernanda de Luna, a
member of the group. It gave us goose-
bumps to sing Las Mananitas for him.
Songs, joyful throngs, church bells
and confetti welcomed Benedict as he
began his first trip to Mexico, a cele-
bration that seemed to erupt spontane-
ously out of what had been a thin, sun-
dazed crowd.
As Pope Benedict XVIs plane ap-
peared in the shimmering heat of Friday
afternoon, people poured from their
homes. They packed sidewalks five and
six deep, screaming ecstatically as the
pope passed, waving slowly. Some burst
into tears.
Many had said moments earlier that
they could never love a pope as strongly
as Benedicts predecessor, John Paul II.
But the presence of a pope on Mexican
soil touched a chord of overwhelming
respect and adoration for the papacy it-
self, the personification for many of the
Catholic Church, and God. Thousands
found themselves taken aback by their
own emotions.
As a girl, Celia del Rosario Escobar,
42, saw John Paul II on one of his five
trips to Mexico, which brought him
near-universal adoration.
I was 12 and its an experience that
still makes a deep impression on me,
she said. I thought this would be differ-
ent, but, no, the experience is the
same.
I cant speak, she murmured, press-
ing her hands to her chest and starting
to cry.
Belief in the goodness and power of
the pope runs deep in Guanajuato, the
most observantly Catholic state in Mex-
ico, a place of deep social conservatism
and the wellspring of an armed uprising
against harsh anti-clerical laws in the
1920s. Some in the crowd came for liter-
al healing, a blessing from the popes
passage that would cure illness, or bring
them more work.

to say thank you for their sacri-
fice and to individually recog-
nize each of them for their ser-
vice to the United States.
A personalized Pennsylvania
House of Representatives Certif-
icate of Appreciation and a com-
memorative medal were pre-
sented to the more than 120 vet-
erans who attended the ceremo-
ny.
"Many of our war veterans are
passing away every day," said
Pashinski." My father, God rest
his soul, served in World War II
and Im actually presenting a
medal to my uncle today, who is
94 years old."
The ceremony featured patri-
otic musical accompaniment by
the Coughlin and Meyers high
schools marching bands, and a
color guard from the Wilkes Uni-
versity Air Force ROTC was on
hand to salute the group of vet-
erans.
"This ceremony is also a re-
minder to those of us in future
generations," continued Pashin-
ski. We need to listen closely to
the stories and history of the
veterans in our community to
gain a deeper appreciation for
the freedom and prosperity that
we enjoy today because of their
courage.
Several members of the Italian
American War Veterans, Post
No. 1 came out to enjoy the com-
pany of their fellow servicemen.
"I never thought Id still be
around to be honored like we are
today," said Ray Bianconi, 87 of
Wilkes-Barre, a paratrooper with
the 13th Airborne Division dur-
ing World War II. "I graduated at
18 in 1943 and volunteered for
duty that August. I came out in
1946 as a 21-year-old man."
All branches of the service
were honored at the event, in-
cluding 59 Army, 34 Navy and
12 Marine, as well as Coast
Guard and National Guard veter-
ans. Pashinski said he plans to
honor veterans of other wars in
the near future.

speaks at an event
honoring World War

veterans at the Leo

important for
Americans to rec-

passes into history.
started his education at St. Leos School
in Ashley, but was soon asked to leave.
I didnt like the way they ran the
school, is his reasoning.
He went to Hanover Area schools and
again was asked to leave.
I didnt like the way they ran the
school either, he said.
So he returned to St. Leos and was
thrown out in fourth grade.
I just didnt like it there, he said.
So back he went to Hanover Area
where he had an altercation with a
teacher. He was asked to leave again. He
tried GAR and made it to the eighth
grade.
But by this time, Kadluboski said he
had had enough of school. At the age of
16 he left school for good because he
said he just couldnt take it anymore.
He found a job at Economy Lumber
near his home. That job ended a year
later when he broke his wrist in a mo-
torcycle accident.
So he started hanging around Power
Towing at Hanover and South Main
streets. He rode along as a helper and
learned how to tow vehicles.
Kadluboski liked this job a lot.
But Power Towing closed in 1976, so
he went to work for a construction com-
pany that did subcontracting work for
Pennsylvania Gas & Water Co.
I was a mechanic and I learned how
to operate a backhoe, he said.
But Kadluboski had a desire to own
his own business. In 1977 he bought a
garage and started doing repair work,
and in 1978 he bought his first tow
truck.
City towing contracts
In1980, then-mayor TomMcLaughlin
gave the citys towing contract to Kadlu-
boskis City-Wide Towing & Repair Co.
He held that contract until 1990 when
Lee Namey was elected mayor and de-
cided to give the contract to Ayers Tow-
ing Co. That caused a six-year feud.
In 1996, Mayor Tom McGroarty as-
sumed office, and Kadluboski got his
towing contract back. He kept it this
time until 2004 when current mayor
Tom Leighton took office.Kadluboski
said he was told by a high-ranking city
official not to worry, that the new
mayor wouldnt replace him. But
Leighton did and LAG Towing was
hired.
Leighton said LAG was awarded the
contract because it was the successful
bidder on a publicly bid contract. Kadlu-
boski said Leighton told him he wasnt
itemizing his receipts.It destroyed my
business; Im still in debt over it, Ka-
dluboski said. I had to borrow $65,000,
and Imstill paying it off. They told me I
wasnt courteous to residents.
Kadluboski sued and won. But the
victory did not make Kadluboski finan-
cially solvent by any stretch, he said.
By the time I paid everything off, I
had $2,000 left, he claimed.
Bad feelings linger
Kadluboski has never gotten over los-
ing the city contract. He has pleaded
with City Council to act to look into
the LAG towing contract, review the
bills and the charges.
When youre forced to sit back and
watch whats been going on and nobody
does anything, its frustrating, Kadlu-
boski said.Kadluboski searches through
files he keeps in large Rubbermaid con-
tainers, cardboard boxes and an old
metal cabinet. He has extensive com-
puter files many videos that show him
being assaulted and others that show
him helping apprehend criminals.
When he shows copies of LAG bills
he acquired them through a right-to-
know request his temper rises and his
voice gets louder.Kadluboski said he is
talking to investigators and he says big
things will break soon about City Hall.
As far as his business, he says hes
making ends meet barely.
Im keeping up with my payments,
is all he will say.
Kadluboski said he just wants to be
treated fairly; he wants city government
to be responsive to his and others con-
cerns.
They will be sorry, he said. They
wont get away with what they have
done to me.
Kadluboski, a regular at city meet-
ings, has been thrown out of council ses-
sions usually escorted by a city police
officer. He has called City Council,
Leighton and city employees pigs, cor-
rupt, crooks and more.
And he has been called a name or two
as well.
When leaving a council meeting
some months ago, Kadluboski was
walking by Leighton who looked at him
and said, Goodnight, Cupcake. Kadlu-
boski stopped on a dime and fired back
at Leighton he was loud to the point
that a woman about to address council
became visibly upset and had to take
several minutes to compose herself.
Why would the mayor go to an en-
trance he knew I would use to leave and
stand there and insult me? Kadluboski
asked. Did he want me to punch himin
the face? Is that what he wanted? The
problem is Tom Leighton thinks he can
do whatever he wants.
I plot revenge
Kadluboski doesnt talk much about
his family he has two sisters; his par-
ents are deceased.
He has close friends that he confides
in one is memorialized in Kadlubos-
kis garage. The mans photo is there
along with his favorite hammer.
There are other pictures in Kadlubos-
kis garage and office: Pictures of
friends, people he has helped through
difficult times and former employees.
They all have special meaning to him,
he said.
Kadluboski works much of the time,
but he does find time for other things.
He exercises, walks and recently started
a diet because he felt he put on extra
pounds.
What else does he do?
I plot revenge, he said again with
that sly smile.
Kadluboski said a lot of people agree
with him.
They know Im right about a lot of
this stuff, he said. But no matter what
I do, nobody is going to do anything to
help me. It doesnt bother me; I try to
remain positive.
He says more people are getting fed
up, and he hears from people who en-
courage him to keep after council and
the mayor.
Hes frustrated by the cronyism and
rubberstamping he says he sees at City
Hall. He said council and the mayor are
together on most, if not all, issues.
So, we asked Kadluboski if the adage
is true that you cant fight City Hall?
Really? he said.
And then he laughed.
KADLUBOSKI
Bob Kadluboski of City-Wide Towing & Repair Co. is the former tow truck oper-
ator for the city of Wilkes-Barre. Hes had many disputes with the city since.

Roxie Means said
Isabell, 24, was smok-
ing a cigarette out-
side, noticed the fire
and came running to
Means home in the
middle of the night
and started beating
down the door.
The home was engulfed in
flames when firefighters arrived.
When they went inside, they im-
mediately came across five vic-
tims and started realizing there
were a lot of people in this house,
a lot of children.
Jones said he was devastated
by the news of the fire the
deadliest in the state capital
since since seven firefighters per-
ished in while battling a fire at a
Woolworth department store in
1949.

tered, and appeared to be an
opening for an upstairs air condi-
tioner was stuffed shut with
clothes.
Alisha Carter-Camp, who
would have been 26 Saturday,
was among those killed, Jones
said. She had been working as a
hotel clerk for six months and
told neighbors she planned to get
married in June and move to
Pittsburgh.
Four of the victims were 3
years old: Jeremiah Camp, Elijah
Scott and two children who were
only identified by their first
name. Keahna Camp, 8, Emanuel
Jones, 18 months, and an adult,
Alex Seal, were also killed.
Bryan Timothy Camp, 7, was
hospitalized in critical condition.
One adult survivor, Latasha
Jones Isabell, went to the hospi-
tal but it wasnt clear if she was
treated. Authorities
said all the victims
were related, but
they werent sure
how and didnt
know how many
lived full-time in the
home.
We have reason
to believe that a lot
of the people stayed
in the house more
than one night and maybe on a
weekly basis, Jones said. These
people may have had residences
in other places, but a lot of peo-
ple lived in this house.
Carter-Camp and her two chil-
dren were staying with her sister
at the home, said Roxie Means,
who lives down the street.
The party started Friday after-
noon with a cookout and toasts
of wine.
They were nice people drink-
ing a glass of wine, Roxie Means
said. They werent drunk. They
werent overdoing anything.
Roxies daughter, 14-year-old
Cassie Means, said she noticed
just grabbed them and hugged
them, because I have a 5-year-old
anda 4-year-old, he said. I walk-
ed up there and caught a glimpse
of some fatalities and its some-
thing thats hard to grasp. The
fact that there are (six) dead chil-
dren, its unimaginable.
Rusty Eaton, general manager
at the Holiday Inn Express Char-
leston Civic Center, said Carter-
Camp was one of his employees.
Eaton said he was notified of her
death by her mother Saturday
morning.
Everybodys taking it pretty
tough, including myself, Eaton
said. Its a toughthing. Its some-
thing you hope you never have to
deal with.
He said Carter-Camp had
worked at the hotels front desk
for about six months and also
helped audit financial paperwork
at night. He said that she felt at
ease speaking with anyone and
that you didnt have to teach
(her) personality.

SEEBETTER, LOOKGREAT
Through the years the facility
served as -- among other things --
a school for militia officers, a sig-
nal depot, a WorldWar II German
prisoner of war camp and a train-
ing center for anti-aircraft gun-
ners, tank operators and ambu-
lance corps.
But electronics became the de-
pots fort in recent decades, and
Tobyhanna nowis consideredthe
largest, full-service electronics
maintenance facility in the De-
partment of Defense.
When it opened as a signal de-
pot in1953, it employed 625 peo-
ple. More than 5,500 people are
employed at the Monroe County
facility today, and some esti-
mates showthat it generates $4.4
billion in economic impact
around Northeastern Pennsylva-
nia.
Workers are drawn from an 11-
county area but Lackawanna
(1,998) and Luzerne (1,409) are
the two counties where the most
employees live.
While electronics has become
a catch-all term for what goes on
at the depot, it doesnt do the real
work going on much justice.
Ed Mickley, the depots public
affairs officer who served in the
U.S. Marines, said the insiders
termfor what the depot does can
be boiled down to an acronym
containing four letters and one
number.
C4ISR, Mickley, of Goulds-
boro, said. Command, control,
communication, computer, intel-
ligence, surveillance and recon-
naissance. That encompasses
our mission.
He said the depot is tasked
with repairing, replacing, manu-
facturing, maintaining, upgrad-
ing and renovating electronics
of all shapes and sizes that are
used in weapons, vehicles, com-
munication devices and more.
There are more than150 build-
ings on the sprawling grounds
that occupy a footprint of 1.9 mil-
lion square feet.
Though the facilitys name in-
cludes just one of the militarys
four branches, it does work for all
four. The Army, which first used
the land, is still the predominant
client with close to 80 percent of
work performed for it.
But the Air Force, thanks tothe
closing of other facilities that did
similar work, nowaccounts for15
percent of the work. The Navy
and Marines make up the rest.
The joke is that were called
Joint Depot Purple, Mickley
said, noting the colors associated
with the four branches green,
blueandgraycombinetoforma
sort of purple hue.
ELECTRONICS
TOBYHANNA Workers at
the Tobyhanna Army Depot are
well aware of howlucky they are
to work at the regions largest
employer.
Jobs at Tobyhanna are not
easy to come by.
Last year, when 300 jobs be-
came available, the depot re-
ceived 40,000 applications.
The new hires were able to be
part of a major milestone:
achieving more than $1billion in
defense-related work orders.
Thats something state Sen.
JohnBlake, D-Archbald, notedin
comments about the depots im-
pact on the region and many
families, including his own.
Within the past five years when
the worst economic recession in
80 years visited upon our nation
and this commonwealth, Toby-
hanna stood strong in service to
our military as a robust job
growth engine providing family
sustaining wages to a skilled
Northeastern Pennsylvania
work force, said Blake, whose
father worked at Tobyhanna for
more than 30 years.
The Armys presence in our
region had much to do with the
quality of life my family enjoyed
as I was growing up in Arch-
bald, said Blake, whose district
includes all of Lackawanna
County, and portions of Luzerne
and Monroe counties, including
the depot.
Dan Nawrocki, 53, of Duryea,
didnt hesitate to apply when
jobs were advertised for Toby-
hanna in 2000, even though he
was gainfully employed at Ar-
lington Industries in the Staufer
Industrial Park in Taylor.
They were a good company
to work for, but when this oppor-
tunity arose, I had to give them
two weeks notice, Nawrocki, a
Pittston Area High School grad-
uate said. Its not that I didnt
like my job, but if you can get in
at Tobyhanna, do it.
The decision to work at Toby-
hanna, for most people, becomes
a lifetime career decision.
Many employees wind up re-
tiring with the depot, said James
Antonelli, a graduate of MMI
who lives in Sugarloaf Township
and has worked at the depot for
26 years.
He said the attrition rate is so
low because employees enjoy
their jobs, their importance to
the country, opportunities for
advancement and being part of
something unique and reward-
ing.
Theres a lot of people that
want to get into the depot. Its
not because its easy work, but
its a rewarding job experience
and career, said Sue Rudat, 50,
of Duryea, whos worked at the
facility for seven years.
While many people watch the
evening news or read the morn-
ingpaper andgive a cursory look
at the goings oninAmericanmil-
itary operations overseas, work-
ers like Antonelli have a different
perspective. They can some-
times catch a glimpse of a piece
of equipment Tobyhanna has
played a role in repairing or de-
signing and feel a sense of pride
that they aided the war effort in
some way.
Getting hired at depot is tough job
Employees exit through the main gate at Tobyhanna Army De-
pot.
The decision to work at
Tobyhanna, for most, becomes

The Tobyhanna Army Depot has
seen its workforce rise and fall
over the past 30 years but in 2007
it topped 5,000 employees for the
first time and has yet to dip back
under that threshold.

HARRISBURGIna series of
recent real-life courtroom dra-
mas, a judge spelled out the con-
sequences of corruption for nine
Republicans convicted as a result
of a sweeping state investigation.
Some of the ex-legislators and
ex-aides were ordered to spend
time behind bars, others were
placed on probation and there
were fines all around, totaling
tens of thousands of dollars.
But for public officials and em-
ployees convicted of using their
positions to commit theft or cer-
tain other crimes, the forfeiture
of future pension benefits may
have been as great a concern as
the sentences Dauphin County
Judge Richard Lewis meted out.
Records released by the State
Employees Retirement System
in response to a Right-to-Know
request filed by The Associated
Press revealed the size of the bro-
ken nest eggs:
Four of the GOP convicts lost
their pensions.
Former House Speaker John
Perzel of Philadelphia, sentenced
to 2
1
2- to four years in state pris-
on, was forced to give up a $7,138
monthly pension check that
would have added up to $1 mil-
lion in 11 years.
Perzel, 62, retiredinDecember
2010, while charges against him
were pending. He withdrewnear-
ly $204,000 that represented his
own pension contributions plus
interest over three decades. He
also collected $64,000 in month-
ly checks before SERS cut himoff
whenhe pleadedguilty inAugust
2011.
Ex-Rep. Brett Feese, 57, who
headed the House Republican
Campaign Committee, gets to
keep nearly $107,000 in contribu-
tions andinterest, as well as more
than$142,000that he collectedin
pension checks between his No-
vember 2009 retirement and his
sentencing in February.
But the former Lycoming
County lawmaker, ordered to
spend at least four years in pris-
on, no longer receives the $5,423
monthly pension checks that pro-
duced $65,000 a year in income.
Brian Preski, 46, Perzels
longtime chief of staff, forfeited
his $1,092 monthly check when
he was sentenced last week to
two to four years in prison. But
the Philadelphia lawyer collected
checks worth about $60,000 be-
tween his 2007 retirement and
his October guilty plea. He also
received a lump-sum payment of
$85,752 for his contributions
plus interest.
Jill Seaman, 59, a former
Feese aide who stood trial with
her ex-boss, collected pension
checks totaling $26,000 between
her November 2009 retirement
and her January sentencing.
The Dauphin resident, who
was ordered to spend at least
nine months ina countyjail work-
release program, withdrew con-
tributions and interest worth
$12,380 but lost her $1,032
monthly checks.
Several former lawmakers and
former aides connected to the
House Democratic caucus previ-
ously forfeitedtheir pensions as a
result of the attorney generals 5-
year-old investigation into the il-
legal use of public resources for
political purposes.
All five other Republicans con-
victed in the case were fined and
placed on probation.
Two of them Perzels broth-
er-in-lawand a fellowNewJersey
resident who ran Perzels former
Philadelphia campaign head-
quarters are not members of
the retirement system so pen-
sions were not an issue.
The others former House
GOP aides Al Bowman, Paul To-
whey Jr. and Eric Ruth were
able to keep their more modest
pensions because the plea bar-
gains their lawyers struck with
prosecutors excluded the charge
of theft. Instead, the menpleaded
guilty to conspiracy, conflict of
interest or both offenses that
do not affect pensions.
Bowmans lawyer, Donna
McClelland, said the state public
pension-forfeiture law is among
the many potential collateral
consequences of a criminal con-
viction.

CAMPHILLRickSantorum
told hundreds of Pennsylvania
conservatives familiar with his
time in the U.S. Senate that his
landslidelossin2006waspainful,
but the Republican presidential
candidate said Saturday it gave
hima chance toviewWashington
from afar and better understand
conservative discontent.
Santorum said that change in
perspective was the greatest gift
from his defeat, from a political
point of view, and it helped him
see the conservative frustration
that he hadheardwhile inoffice.
It didnt quite resonate with
me. Youre in
theresort of do-
ing the sau-
sage-making
and its like,
Well theydont
understand,
andina sense, I
didnt under-
stand, he said
at the Pennsylvania Leadership
Conference, the states largest an-
nual gathering of conservatives.
Santorum is trailing front-run-
nerMitt RomneyintheGOPpres-
idential race. He reiterated his
criticism that Romneys beliefs
are too similar to President Ba-
rackObamas toattacktheDemo-
crat on the key issues of health
care andthe economy.
Asked after his speech by a re-
porter about pressure to bowout
of the race, Santorumresponded,
What pressure?
Some other Pennsylvania Re-
publicans worry that Santorums
blunt talk onsocial issues may re-
pel the moderates and independ-
ents who are crucial to winning
statewide elections in the diverse
state.

Former Pa. senator says his

NEW YORK Mitt Romney
says President Barack Obama
blockedconstructionof theKeys-
toneXLoil pipelineas agift toen-
vironmentalists. Newt Gingrich
calls Obama President Algae
for supporting research on bio-
fuels. And Rick Santorum says
Obamas environmental views
constitute a phony theology
that prioritizes the
earth over people.
The leading Repub-
lican presidential
hopefuls have cast
Obama as environ-
mental extremist
whose policies have
put him out of touch
withthe needs of ordinary Amer-
icans. Its a characterization that
may resonate with GOP primary
voters, but it has surprised envi-
ronmental activists, many of
whom say they are let down by
Obamas record on their issues.
The environmental move-
ment has been at odds with Ba-
rackObama for muchof his three
years in the White House, said
Bill McKibben, founder of theen-
vironmental group350.org. The
president isverymuchinthecen-
ter far too much in the center
for many environmentalists.
As a candidate, Obamas
pledgetolimit thegasesthat con-
tribute to global warming and
embrace cleaner forms of energy
pleased many environmental ac-
tivists. But nearing the end of his
first term, Obamas recordonthe
environment is mixed and
many of his decisions
have irked the very ac-
tivists who Republi-
cans suggest have
broad sway over ad-
ministration policies.
Absolutely, he has
been a disappoint-
ment, said Frank
ODonnell, president of the envi-
ronmental group Clean Air
Watch. When Obama was elect-
ed, I thinkpublic healthandenvi-
ronmental advocates thought a
number of unresolved problems
would be dealt in short order.
And we learned that environ-
mental protection did not prove
to be a first-tier activity for the
White House.
Some Obama actions have
cheered environmentalists. He
successfully ushered in historic
increases in fuel economy stan-
dards for automobiles as well as
the first-ever regulations onheat-
trapping gases blamed for global
warming and on toxic mercury
pollution from power plants. He
has invested heavily in cleaner
forms of energy; the U.S. pro-
duces more energy from alterna-
tive sources such as wind, solar
and biofuels now than it has at
any point in history.
But Obamafailedtopersuadea
Democratic Congress to pass
promised legislation limiting
carbonemissions. Heabandoned
the legislative effort entirely af-
ter Republicans gainedcontrol of
the House in the 2010 elections.
And in a move that deeply an-
gered environmentalists, the
president in September
scrubbed a plan to set a stricter
health standard on lung-damag-
ing smog, sticking with one set
by his GOP predecessor George
W. Bush that scientists say is too
weak.
For the GOP presidential can-
didates, it all amounts to a zeal-
ous pursuit of policies that have
slowed the nations economic re-
covery.
Inhisappeal toevangelical vot-
ers, Santorum has framed Oba-
mas environmentalism as pho-
nytheology abelief espoused
by many Christian conservatives
that environmental activism
places natureabovemanandpro-
motes veneration of the earth in-
stead of God.

ELECTION
COCONUT CREEK, Fla.
Campaigning in South Florida,
Vice President Joe Biden lashed
out against House Republicans
proposed changes to Medicare,
telling a roomful of retirees that
the plan would jeopardize the fu-
ture healthcare for millions of ol-
der Americans.
Biden said the Medicare plan
contained in a House GOP bud-
get would effectively dismantle
Medicare as it is currently struc-
tured. Senior citizen-rich Flor-
ida, a key battleground state in
the presidential race, has about
3.3 million Medicare recipients.
We believe in strengthening
Medicare, andthey dont, Biden
said. WecanmakeMedicaresol-
vent again. We dont have to gut
it to make it last.
Medicare covers health care
for 49 million seniors and dis-
abledpeople, providingessential
protection against unpredictable
medical costs in retirement. But
the program is widely acknowl-
edgedtobe inserious trouble. Its
giant trust fund for inpatient
careis projectedtobecomeinsol-
vent in 2024, meaning that pay-
roll taxes collected will not be
enough to cover the full cost of
expected benefits.
Republicans would convert
Medicare into a systemdominat-
ed by private health insurance
plans closely regulated by the
government. Future retirees
wouldget a fixedpayment tobuy
either private coverage or sign
up for a new government plan
modeled on traditional Medi-
care. The plan counts on compe-
tition among the plans to help
keep costs in check, but the an-
nual government payment
would also be limited by tying it
to economic growth.
Thats the basic approach em-
bodied in the new budget re-
leased this week by Rep. Paul
Ryan, R-Wis., chairman of the
House Budget Committee, and
seconded by GOP presidential
candidate Mitt Romney.
Theoretically, such a system
could help rein in Medicare cost
increases, economists say.

WILKES-BARRE TWP. On
Saturday, more than 100 step
climbers participated in the an-
nual Fight for Air Climb at the
MoheganSunArena totest them-
selves, remember friends and
family and raise money to thwart
lung disease, according to orga-
nizer Donna Ray-Reifler, from
the American Lung Association
in Pennsylvania. She hoped to
top last years total of $16,000.
Were here to save lives, Ray-
Reifler said. Its not a competi-
tion.
Participants includedlocal fire-
fighters, elite stair climbers,
members of the UnitedStates Air
Force, fitness enthusiasts and
family members. Some wore
commemorative shirts or signs
with the names of loved ones
they honored. Some took the
steps two at a time, others chose
to quickly step each one and
some took the steps dressed in
full firefighting gear.
Chris Mooney, a firefighter
from Forty Fort and Kingston,
started the event forging ahead
with the fire safe coveralls, boots
and oxygen tank. He and about
20 other firefighters attended to
honor Fred Kase, a firefighter
who died last year from lung dis-
ease.
Firefighters are 100 percent
more likely to suffer from lung
diseasebecauseof our exposure,
Mooney said. Everyone should
maintain good lung health, he
emphasized. At the end of the
climb, Mooney stood by to watch
the other firefighters finish.
Tim Drolet, staff sergeant and
local recruiter from the United
States Air Force, led a contingent
of airmen who participated to
help the cause. The Air Force
seeks ways to give back to the
community, Drolet said adding
his group was going to finish in
respectable times.
Were going to fly up those
steps, he said.
Mary Majikes, a personal train-
er fromthe Odyssey Fitness Cen-
ter in Wilkes Barre, participated
for the last five years striving to
get finished in under 9 minutes.
She pointed out going down the
steps may be more difficult than
climbing up.
Its important to wear com-
fortable shoes, she said.
The money raised will be used
tohelpmaintaintheLungAssoci-
ations mission to prevent lung
disease through educational pro-
grams, disease research, and
clean air advocacy, she said.
Taking a step for others
Kingston firefighter Chris Mooney, in full gear, climbs the steps at
Mohegan Sun Arena in Wilkes-Barre Township on Saturday.
An annual event at the arena
offers volunteers exercise and
chance to fight lung disease.

Broken Glass, Broken Heart
Its not easy picking up the pieces
of broken glass. The sharp shards
penetrate the skin. Out oozes the life
blood, leaving only scars from that day.
It was not supposed to happen, but
negligence destroyed us. What is left
now are pieces of what once was, yet
the memories still prevail.
Happy Birthday Rose
--Mom and Saki
Putting the pieces together leaves scars on the skin as well as the
heart. What once was cannot ever be replaced, but vivid images
endure. Carefully mending fragments in place, I recall shared
moments. In my reverie I can feel you so close-the brush of your kiss
and I love you. The years of the past are still visual ruminations in
my minds eye.
I am thankful for the photographs and the journals that capture your
life. No matter how I would like to alter the last year of your life, I
am powerless. Still I think of the future that could have, should have
been. I loved you more than my own life, now your
reunited with your beloved Gram. Now time just passes
as I look forward to the three of us together again.
Love endures for all who cherished your life.

STATE COLLEGE A psy-
chologist who looked into a 1998
allegation against former Penn
State assistant football coach Jer-
ry Sandusky told police at the
time that his behavior fit the pro-
file of a likely pedophile, NBC
News reported Saturday.
Yet Sandusky was never crimi-
nally charged, nor placed on a
state registry of suspected child
abusers, and prosecutors say he
continued assaulting boys for
more than a decade until his ar-
rest in November.
NBC obtained a copy of the
campus police departments in-
vestigatory report on an encoun-
ter in which Sandusky was ac-
cused of having inappropriate
contact with an 11-year-old boy
with whom he had showered
naked on the Penn State campus.
The police file includes the re-
port of State College psycholo-
gist Alycia Chambers, who inter-
viewed and providing counseling
to the boy.
My consultants agree that the
incidents meet all of our defini-
tions, based on experience and
education, of a likely pedophiles
pattern of building trust and
gradual introduction of physical
touch, within a context of a lov-
ing, special relationship,
Chambers wrote.
A second psychologist, howev-
er, concluded that Sandusky had
neither assaulted the boy nor fit
the profile of a pedophile.
Centre County prosecutors ul-
timately decided not to charge
Sandusky, and the case was
closed until a statewide grand ju-
ry accused the retired defensive
coordinator of abusing the boy
and nine others over a15-year pe-
riod. Sandusky, who faces more
than50 counts of childsex abuse,
has pleaded innocent and awaits
trial.
Chambers warning to author-
ities raises new questions about
the universitys failure to stop
Sandusky. Eight of the 10 boys
were attacked on campus, prose-
cutors allege.
In 2002, four years after the
1998 investigation, prosecutors
say then-graduate assistant Mike
McQueary caught Sandusky sex-
ually assaulting a boy in the foot-
ball showers. McQueary report-
ed what he saw to coach Joe Pa-
terno, who, in turn, reported the
allegation to university officials.
But no police investigation was
ever done.
The 1998 allegation was the
first known complaint made to
authorities about Sandusky. A
woman called the Penn State po-
lice department, saying she was
troubled after her 11-year-old son
told her he had showered naked
with Sandusky on campus.
Prosecutors say Sandusky lath-
ered up the boy known as Vic-
tim 6 in the states current crimi-
nal case bear-hugged him
naked from be-
hind, and
picked him up
and put his
head under the
shower. Detec-
tives say that
later, with po-
lice secretly lis-
teningin, Sanduskytoldtheboys
mother the joint shower had
been a mistake, and blurted: I
wish I were dead.
The womans complaint trig-
gered a separate review by state
Department of Public Welfare,
which found no indication of
abuse by Sandusky.
But state welfare department
investigator Jerry Lauro told AP
in December that he didnt have
access to the criminal investiga-
tive file. On Wednesday, he told
The Patriot-News of Harrisburg
that he never would have closed
the case had he seen the reports
from Chambers and the second
psychologist, John Seasock.
The course of history could
have been changed, Lauro told
the newspaper, which first re-
ported the existence of the twin
psychological reports.
The conclusions (Chambers)
had drawn in her report were
pretty damaging, Lauro told the
paper. I would have made a dif-
ferent decision. ... Its unbelieva-
ble, andit gets my bloodpressure
going when I think about it.
Seasock, who worked with
Centre County Office of Children
and Youth Services, interviewed
the boy for an hour and wrote in
his report also included in the
police file obtained by NBC
that he did not find any evidence
of grooming or inappropriate
sexual behavior by Sandusky.
All the interactions reported
by (the boy) can be typically de-
fined as normal between a health
adult and a young adolescent
male, Seasock wrote.
Seasock, however, did not re-
view Chambers report or prior
interviews with the boy before
submitting his own report, the
police report indicates, nor did
he elicit key details, includingthe
fact that Sandusky had kissed the
boy and told him he loved him.
Chambers and Seasock did not
immediately return phone mess-
ages left at their offices Saturday.
Sanduskys attorney, Joseph
Amendola, told The Associated
Press on Saturday that Seasocks
report was exculpable and that
the 1998 incident was not as
clear-cut as Chambers made it
out to be.
We could get five psycholo-
gists, child psychologists, who
specialize maybe in sexual dys-
functions or pedophilia look at
the same case and talk to the
same people and come up with
five different conclusions, he
said in a phone interview.
Amendola said that Chambers
has refused to talk to the defense,
but that he would try anew in
light of the NBC report.
Any argument the common-
wealth had about privilege is out
the window, said Amendola. He
said he found the timing of the
NBC report curious because it
came several days after a judge
ordered the attorney general to
turn over the psychological re-
ports to the defense unless prose-
cutors could persuade the court
they are not subject todisclosure.
Chambers told NBC in an in-
terview that she was horrified to
learn that Sandusky allegedly
continued assaulting boys long
after she warned Penn State au-
thorities about him.
I was horrified to know that
there were so many other inno-
cent boys who had been subject
to this, who had their hearts and
minds confused, their bodies vio-
lated. Its unspeakable, she said.
Early warning about Sandusky led to no action
Centre County authorities
declined to prosecute after a
report on a 1998 incident.

workedat the depot since1985.
Robert Katulka, 48, of Moun-
tainTop, startedayearafterAnto-
nelli andrecalledthe fight tosave
his workplace.
There was a lot of activity and
a lot of interest both in the depot
and with local officials. In some
ways it was veryexciting; insome
ways stressful, Katulka said. It
was a display of what the area can
do when they focus on a common
task. It was an example of a shin-
ing moment.
Whilethousandsof theirneigh-
bors work at the facility, it wasnt
until they almost lost the depot
that area residents really under-
stood what it meant for the re-
gions economy.
That (1995) was the first time
thecommunityrealizedwhat was
here, Antonelli.
Large regional footprint
Sue Rudat, 50, of Duryea, said
the depots foot-
print is so large
drawing em-
ployees froman
11county area
that rallying
around it is un-
usual.
It took the
BRAC (Base
Realignment
and Closure
Commission)
topull it togeth-
er, said Rudat,
whohasworked
at the installa-
tion for seven
years.
While Toby-
hanna was
spared in the
1995 and more
BRAC closures
in 2005, other
regions werent
so lucky. But
their loss was
Northeastern
Pennsylvanias
gain.
More than
100 workers
were trans-
ferred fromCal-
ifornias
McClellan Air
Force Base to Tobyhanna. As de-
pots andworkperformedat bases
nationwide were cut, Tobyhanna
continued to pick up new con-
tracts, whichinthemilitaryworld

erated from contracts with the

cations.
We operate as a business. De-
pots are the closest thing in gov-
ernment to the private sector. Its
ourcorporatephilosophythat has
made the organization success-
ful, said Col. Charles C. Gibson,
commander of theTobyhannaAr-
my Depot.
That business philosophy also
dictates that theres always a bet-
ter, more efficient way to do
thingsandemployeesareurgedto
come up with ideas and methods
that couldachieve that goal.
Tobyhanna has survived and
grownbecauseof thequalityof its
products and services, and the ef-
ficiency and productivity of our
workforce. We constantly stress
to our managers and employees
that wemust continuallyimprove
in all areas of our operations if we
are to remain the best value for
our customers, Gibsonsaid.
Emphasis onquality
Thinkingbackto1985, Katulka
recalled it was a different world
thereweremanymoredepots.
But as tech-
nology has
evolved and
conflicts have
raged in Iraq,
Afghanistan,
Somalia and
Bosnia, the de-
pot has contin-
ually met the
challenges and
stepped up pro-
duction.
Our employ-
ees take pride
when repairing
equipment for
our war fight-
ers, Gibson said. Best quality,
lowest cost, on-timedelivery. Our
foremost missionis providingthe
highest quality support to our
armed forces, but we also believe
we have an obligation to the peo-
ple of NortheasternPennsylvania
to maintain Tobyhanna as a key
component of theregional econo-
my.
Katulka, a Meyers High School
graduate, said the regions work
ethic is partly to credit for the de-
pots success.
Ill stackour peopleupagainst
any installation in the country,
Katulka said.
When the discussion turns to
the potential loss of Tobyhanna
and its impact on the region, the
word multiple people inter-
viewed for this story used was
devastating.
Antonelli said that what a ma-
jor downsizing or closing would
do to the local unemployment
rate, the local tax base, the value
of peopleshomes, I wouldthinkit
would be a significant negative
impact. Devastating would prob-
ably be a goodword.
Steve Zaricki, with the NEPA
Alliance, an economic develop-
ment organization serving the re-
gion, saidTobyhanna is unique in
that it impacts people and busi-
nesses in such a large geographic
area.
Imnot familiar withanyother
industrythatcomesclosetothese
numbers, Zaricki said after reel-
ing off the economic impact asso-
ciatedwiththede-
pot. More than
5,500 people are
employed by the
Monroe County
facility and some
estimates show
that it generates
$4.4 billion in re-
gional economic
activity.
Other than
Wyoming County
based Procter &
Gamble Co., Zar-
icki said nothing
evencomes close.
Four point
four billion dollars, Zaricki said,
is a lot of money.
Unique positionnow
Even with the challenges and
uncertainties the depot has faced
over its history, those working
there believe its future is safe.
Theres really no other facility
that can duplicate what Tobyhan-
na has, Rudat said. So thats an
advantage we have within the
(Department of Defense).
The depot has become so es-
sential that shutting it down
wouldnotonlyhurttheregionbut
couldhurt the military, too.
This is an enduring installa-
tion, said Katulka. Thats not
me saying that. Thats the Army
thats said that. Were going to be
around in some shape or form.
Like everything else were going
to continue to evolve. Well be
around. Wethinkwehaveabright
future not withstanding the chal-
lengesthat wevegot aheadof us.
Those challenges, Antonelli
said, include declining defense
budgets, the changes tothe Army
force structure. As they go down
there will be less need for our
equipment. Disposable technolo-
gy means big changes. Moneys
driving most of it.
1912: The Army rst arrived at
Tobyhanna after Maj. Charles P.
Summerall, given the assignment to
nd an East Coast location for an
artillery training camp, visited the
Poconos. Summerall leased land for
$300 from Dr. George Rhoads, a
prominent local resident, and directed
the 2nd Battalion, 3rd Field Artillery to
train there. The unit remained in the
Poconos until October.
1913: The initial camp proved so
successful that the Army returned the
next summer and set up a camp of
instruction for militia batteries and a
school for militia ofcers. The 3rd Field
Artillery marched to Tobyhanna from
Fort Myer, leaving Virginia on June 2
and arriving at Tobyhanna on June 18.
1941: Pearl Harbor attack prompted the
Army to train anti-aircraft gunners at
Tobyhanna. Gun range exceeded
boundaries of the 23,000-acre
reservation, and farmers complained.
1945: At the end of World War II, the
site became a prisoner-of-war holding
facility for German POWs.
1949: The Army gave most of the land
to Pennsylvania, which would turn it
into Gouldsboro and Tobyhanna state
parks and state game lands.
1951: The Army formally announced its
plan to reacquire 1,400 acres of the
former Tobyhanna Military Reservation
for a new $35 million supply depot. Site
design and preparation began later
that year.
1953: The Tobyhanna Signal Depot is
ofcially established on Feb. 1.
1993: The military ranked Tobyhanna
No. 1 of the 10 Army depots in the
country, based on overall quality of job
performance, cost effectiveness and
expandability.
1995: The region rallied around the
depot when it was considered for
closure. A Blue Ribbon Task Force
coordinated a Keep the Best
campaign. The Base Realignment and
Closure Commission closed Sacramento
Air Logistics Center and directed its
ground communications-electronics
workload to Tobyhanna. At the time, the
depot employed 3,589 people.
2004: The depot begins hiring
additional employees to handle
increased workloads. Its workforce was
at 3,300, more than 1,200 less than a
decade earlier.
2005: On Nov. 11, President George W.
Bush gives a Veterans Day speech at
the depot: Tobyhanna is a tting place
to commemorate Veterans Day. In the
better part of a century, this facility
has provided critical services for our
armed forces. Around the clock and
around the world, personnel from here
maintain technology that our troops
use to take the ght to the enemy.

Illinois closed on April 1, Tobyhanna's
mission area was extended to include
Virginia, West Virginia, and Ohio.
1985: On Aug. 15, the railroad service
running to and from the depot ends.
Depot-owned rail equipment,
including two diesel engines, is
transferred to other Defense
Department installations.
1982: The Tobyhanna Army Depot,
accustomed to visits from military
personnel, documented a rst when
John O. Marsh, the Secretary of the
Army, dropped by. The unannounced
visit came during a week-long Armed
Forces Open House event.

us and persistence to start these compa-
nies, and the people who worked for them
probably put in more hours and more
effort that most of us put into our jobs
today.
One of those iconic local businesses
will be saluted starting Saturday, when
the Luzerne County Historical Society
opens its new exhibit The Wonderful
Story of Planters Peanuts at the societys
museum, 69 S. Franklin St. in Wilkes-
Barre.
Planters Peanuts, which once had its
world headquarters on South Main Street,
still has an international reach with its
wide array of food products. The novelties
(pens, drinking cups) that it offered over
the years are considered collectibles on
Internet sites today, and its Mr. Peanut
mascot remains one of the most widely
recognized corporate symbols.
But there were many other companies
large and small in numerous indus-
tries that helped to put Wyoming Valley
on the map years ago. If youre a geneal-
ogist, the study of your local ancestors
isnt complete until youve researched
their employment. That research can help
answer vital questions.
Why did your ancestors come to
Wyoming Valley? Their motive might
have been to work in industries theyd
heard about mining and railroading
being the two biggest draws of 80 to 170
years ago when the communitys pop-
ulation was mushrooming.
Why did they live where they lived?
Often newcomers bought homes near
relatives or fellow members of their eth-
nic group. But in the days when people
had to walk to work or take a streetcar,
employment often determined location.
Downtown Wilkes-Barre and the adjacent
areas of the Heights and South Wilkes-
Barre (once known as West End) grew
partly because of big employers like Haz-
ard Wire Rope, Vulcan Iron Works and
Penn Tobacco.
Why did they start certain businesses?
In an era of small neighborhood stores, a
huge local wholesale industry was neces-
sary to supply them. With little working-
class entertainment, taverns fulfilled a
social need. Since towns could be isolated
from one another, widely separated busi-
ness districts (such as the large one in
Plymouth) developed.
The historical society, sponsor of the
exhibit, also offers an excellent research
facility in its Bishop Memorial Library, 49
S. Franklin St. You can do your genealog-
ical business research in city directories
from1870, Luzerne County Census re-
cords, the Phillips collection (heavy on
business), histories of local companies,
photo books with pictures of long-gone
businesses, highly detailed historic street
maps, town histories (with photos) a few
volumes of the old Board of Trade Journal
and two centuries of Wyoming Valley
newspapers on microfilm.
The museum, behind the Osterhout
Free Library, is open Tuesday-Friday noon
to 4 p.m., and on Saturday 10 a.m. to 4
p.m. For information on the March 30
opening reception for the Planters Pea-
nuts exhibit, email reservations@luzerne-
history.org.
News Notes: Hats off to Anne Bram-
blett Barr and her staff at the West Pitt-
ston Library for the recent grand reopen-
ing event. The library was badly damaged
in the September flooding and had been
operating out of temporary quarters for
months. Its now back in business at its
familiar Exeter Avenue site.
Dont forget the open house at the
Northeast Pennsylvania Genealogical
Societys research library Tuesday. The
event runs 4-8 p.m. The library is located
in the caretaker building of the Hanover
Green Cemetery, Main Road, Hanover
Township. Stop by and see the societys
growing repository of area genealogical
material and meet some of your fellow
genealogists.

ichael Steele is the H. Fenner Chair of Research Biology
and the professor of biology at Wilkes University. Steele,
52, graduatedfromMillersville University witha Bachelor of Sci-
ence in biology in1982. He received a Ph.D. in ecology/behavior
fromWake Forest University in1988 and was part of the Post-
doctoral Research Association at North Carolina State Uni-
versity from1988 to 1989. He lives with his wife, Margaret,
in Mountain Top. They have three children: Michael Jr.,
Tyler and Emily.
What hasbeentheevolu-
tion of your role here at
Wilkes University? I
have to go back to under-
graduate school at Mil-
lersville. When I was a
sophomore, I startedtore-
alize that I was probably
going to be able to make a
living as a professor and
share knowledge with oth-
ers in a setting of academ-
ic freedom and research.
When I finished at North
Carolina State I became the
assistant professor of biology at
Wilkes in 1989.
You became the associate profes-
sor of biology at Wilkes in 1996 and
the professor of biology in 2004.
What other appointments have you
held over the years? I ama research
associate for the Carnegie Museumof
Natural History inPittsburghas well as
the Hawk Mountain Sanctuary in
Kempton. I was also an adjunct associ-
ate research professor at Purdue Uni-
versityfrom2007to2012. I just recent-
ly stepped down as chair of biology at
Wilkes, which I held since 2001.
What isthepassionthat fuelsyour
ascension on the academic leader-
ship ladder? I have always had a
great interest in animals, insects and
plants. My area of expertise is experi-
mental evolutionary and behavioral
ecology as applied to plant-animal in-
teractions, especially seed predication
andseeddispersal. I alsofocusonscat-
ter hoarding behavior in rodents and
birds. Oak ecology is another field I am
passionate about.
Before the plants, trees, rodents
and insects became your life, what
did you do for work, growing up? I
was actually a carpenters assistant
throughout high school and college.
My wife laughs because she jokes that
I learned just enough about remodel-
ingtobedangerous. It wasnt ajob, but
being a Boy Scout was hard work in
high school. Both of my sons were Ea-
gle Scouts like me.
You have published six books of
your own as well as multiple journal
entries throughout the years. What
isoneof your favoritebooks?I really
like Origin of the Species by Darwin
and any technical books.
Favorite quote? It is actually from
the author Robert MacArthur. This is
not it exactly, but it goes something
like: There are worse things in science
than being wrong, for instance, being

o author Susan Denney, the most exciting storyline imaginable is
sitting with her family in front of a computer while watching her
latest book climb the online popularity charts.
Her novel, Snarky andSweet, came out inOctober of last year as a print
book andane-book, publishedthroughDiva Press, a small press runby her
friend Dan Case. It was available on Amazons Kindle e-reader and
Barnes & Nobles Nook.
Dutifully, she first started marketing it on
social media. But while the book sold some
copies and got favorable reviews, the sales
were still insignificant. There are over a mil-
lion books on Kindle right now, so its really
hard for an unknown author to get noticed,
she said.
Then in January her publisher Case decid-
ed on another tack. He recommended offer-
ingit as a free Amazondownload, Cases logic
being that an initial free offering would stim-
ulate sales later.
Thats precisely what happened. Denney
started spreading the word to her Facebook
friends, and within weeks she and her family
at their Shavertown home were tracking the
books growing popularity.
They talk about something
going viral, and thats just what it
did, she said. As they (readers)
download it, Amazon reposts
your rankings every hour. So I
could watch it as it was going
up these Amazon rankings.
My daughter taught me to
take screen shots so I could
see myself on the same page
withTina FeyandTomClan-
cy. It was great.
If someone who gives
books away online and watches
numbers on a computer monitor isnt quite
Ive always loved novels. Theyre my favorite
kind of book since childhood. And I always won-
dered where a writer found enough ideas to fill a
whole book with just one story.
Then I signed up for NaNoWriMo and found out.
NaNoWriMo is short for National Novel Writing
Month and it is one of the craziest writer challeng-
es out there. If you write a 50,000 word
novel in a month you win a cheesy cer-
tificate which you print yourself. Its that
simple.
Only its not simple. The motto of the
NaNoWriMo is No plot? No problem!
In many ways, that sums up the whole
experience. When youre writing 50,000
words in a month, you dont have time for a
precisely honed plot. You dont even have
time to go back and fix typos. You dont just
silence your internal editor, you smother it
under a pillow. Your best friend is the word
TK. This means to come and it substitutes
for whatever fact, name, place or number you
dont have time to look up or make up.
And you just hope that some of what youre
writing is good.

Do you have any favorite
films? My wife and I really
love comedies. I am stealing
this one from her. I love
Planes, Trains and Automo-
biles.
What is your favorite food
and drink? I am partial to
sushi and Belgian beers.
Are there any pubs or res-
taurants you are partial to in
the NEPA area? The Ice
House in Mountain Top. My
friends ownit. It is awonderful
establishment.

rock. I enjoy Neil Young, The
Rolling Stones and Johnny
Cash.
Do you have any favorite
sports or hobbies? I have to
say swimming. I like to swim
on the Chesapeake, but it is
the 19 years of watching all
three of my kids participate in
high school swimming that
has enhanced my love of the
sport. I reallyliketohike, camp
and fish as well. I engage in
gardening at home. It is a true
passion of mine.
You mentioned that one of
your areas of studyhas to do
with oak ecology and you
went to Central Mexico on
the Fulbright Fellowship in
1997 to do research in rela-
tion to it. How was that? I
would have to say that was
one of the happiest times in
my life, both professionally
and personally. I got to bring
my family with me for a full
year to the epicenter of oak
evolution. It was the time of
our lives interacting with the
people and enjoying the cul-
ture. All three of my children
went to school there. They
were also involved in my re-
search and I loved having
them share the experience
with my wife and me.

the image of novelist that most
people carry in their heads,
theres a reason. Denney, a native
of Louisiana who grewup in Tex-
as and now lives in Kingston
Township, exemplifies the new
face of book authorship and pub-
lishing.
While there are various ap-
proaches, hers blends the activ-
ism of self-publishing and work-
ing with a publisher (Case) who
understands the ins and outs of
modern electronic media. Its a
high-speed environment in
which the author wears many
hats, and publication is not tied
exclusively to bricks-and-mortar
stores or expensive press runs.
Denney has strong Wyoming
Valley connections. Grandfather
Arnott Jones was president of the
Forty Fort School Board and the
owner of a printing business in
Kingston. She has degrees in
French fromLouisiana State Uni-
versity and the University of Io-
wa. Shes taught high school
French in Texas and composition
at Luzerne County Community
College.
She and husband Michael, an
engineer with Caremark in Ha-
nover Township, have four chil-
dren and10 grandchildren. She is
also a correspondent for The
Times Leader and the moderator
of a local writers group, the
Wyoming Valley Wordsmiths.
Her modern publishing odys-
sey began nearly a decade ago as
she was working on Snarky and
Sweet, a comic tale of sisters
with jarringly opposite temper-
aments.
In a Texas writers group where
she readthe novel toother partic-
ipants, Denney met Dan Case,
author of several books on writ-
ing. WhileDenneyeventuallyput
Snarky and Sweet away after
several agents had shown no in-
terest in it, the book evidently
stuck in Cases mind.
Thenlast July he calledme up
and said Do you remember that
novel you wrote? I said Yeah,
and he said Id like to publish it.
He said wed make a print ver-
sion, but wed market it mainly as
a Kindle book.
Denney realizedthat the novel,
sitting in a drawer for years,
would need a lot of work before
reachingthe public. She hadwrit-
ten it as a NaNoWriMo a novel
composed in 30 days in a Hercu-
lean November effort celebrating
annual National Novel Writers
Month. Also, changes in popular
technology called for updating
some plot elements, such as find-
ing a way for a kidnapper to use a
cell phone without being tracked
by GPS.
And that was only the begin-
ning.
Because it was an independ-
ent publisher, the editing fell to
me, she said. If you publish
with a big New York publisher,
they provide you with an editor. I
had my English major daughter
read it first. The next thing I had
todowas put it inaformat (Case)
could use, completely different
fromthe wayyoudformat anovel
for a mainstream publisher. I did
most of the copy editing.
Case helpfully took care of the
cover and obtained the ISBN
number from the Library of Con-
gress. He also got it typeset and
created an imprint for Denney,
the Diva Press, for which she is
now the sole author.
Things moved quickly. Six
weeks after Case got his hands on
Denneys book it was in front of
the public. But although it came
out in October, it didnt really sell
until the free Kindle download
began in January.
Its the Kindle Select pro-
gram, said Denney. You sign a
contract with Amazon and you
give them exclusive e-book
rights for three months. In ex-
change for that, they will offer
your book as a free loan to Ama-
zon Prime clients. And you ac-
tually get paid for these loans.
But in fact the right to offer a
book for free for up to five days is
what the real beauty of the pro-
gram is and its what made my
book take off.
During that free period the
book drew another kind of atten-
tion that helped online re-
views from people whod read it
on Kindle. Denney also helped
the process along by using Face-
book, Twitter and email, acting
as her own publicity machine.
Once Snarky and Sweet gained
online traction, Amazon began
listing it among all its publica-
tions free or paid and run-
ning ads for it.
So thats what Amazon does
for you the more you sell, the
more they promote your book.
And they just keep bringing it up
to the front. Several of my friends
said they saw it appear as an ad
onthe side of their Facebook pag-
es.
Now it can be purchased as an
e-book on Amazon. Print ver-
sions are also available from
Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
Denneys experience with the
new publishing might not be all
that typical. She did have a
knowledgeable helper in Dan
Case. But the overall process she
believes is the one authors from
now on will have to come to
terms with.
E-readers are here to stay,
she said. And now that books
can be stored in the Amazon
Cloud, Kindle users are not limit-
ed by the amount of storage on
their device. They can have an
unlimited amount of books avail-
able which they download as
needed.
Still, she said, There will al-
ways be books and bookstores.
There will always be book sign-
ings. Those traditional publish-
ing houses are not going out of
business. There are still millions
of people onthis planet whowant
to hold a book in their hands.
There are millions who go to a li-
brary and want to check out a
book. But there is a new genera-
tion who love the fact that they
no longer have to have a houseful
of books. They can have one de-
vice with access to all of their
books.
NOVEL
They talk about
something going viral, and
thats just what it did.
Susan Denney
Author
I had no intention of ever
publishing my NaNoWriMo
novel. I just wanted to see if I
could do it. I wasnt doing a lot
of fiction writing and I thought
this project would give me a
jumpstart.
But I knew what kind of book
I liked. And there werent many
of them out there in the market.
I liked reading books that were
light, funny, romantic and clean.
So I decided to write one for
myself.
I had two characters in mind
when I took up the challenge.
They were identical twins who
couldnt get along.
It helps if you know that my
brothers are identical twins who
are very close. But they were
always competing with each
other when they were small and
their lives had followed different
paths.
I decided to let one of my
twins have a life I could only
dream about. Lurlette was not
only beautiful, but also fabulous-
ly rich. And she had jewelry.
Lots and lots of jewelry.
I made the other twin some-
thing like me. Lee was a high
school French teacher who was
trying to do her best at a very
difficult job.
I threw my twins together and
let the rest take care of itself.
Some days the words would
flow out like magic and I would
think, Im winning the National
Book Award with this baby.
And other days I would pull out
every word like a wisdom tooth
and I would think, This is quite
possibly the worst prose ever
written in the English lan-
guage.
And when I went back and
reread the stuff, I found out that
the magic words and the pulling
teeth words were all about the
same quality. Sort of medium.
At the end of the month, I had
a novel. It had a plot and it had
well-developed characters. But
otherwise, it was a mess. And so
I rewrote it for a year.
Now its a published book
called Snarky and Sweet that
people read and even give good
reviews to on Amazon.
I cant tell you how much I
learned about writing during
that first NaNoWriMo experi-
ence. In English we say practice
makes perfect. But the French
say it much better. They say, Its
by smithing that you become a
blacksmith. And thats the truth.
Its by writing a novel that you
become a novelist.

Students from Good Shepherd Academy recently participated in the National Geographic Bee for
the first time. Students in grades 4-8 participated in classroom-level contests probing their knowledge
of U.S. states and geography, world geography and culture and types of landforms and physical fea-
tures. Alexis Ornoski, eighth grade, was the school champion. She has submitted a written examination
to the National Geographic Society in the hopes of gaining entry to the state contest. Some of the
participants, from left, first row, are Brandon Gebenus, Vivian Novitski, Brendan Frederick and Eric

ONE SHOT
AFTER anoth-
er kept bound-
ing off Michael
Leighton,
almost as if
this one night
in Wilkes-Barre
took him all the way back to the
2010 Stanley Cup Playoffs again.
In a sense, it did.
He looked as calm and cool
and crafty turning away Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton shots Friday as
he once did during a magic
carpet ride that whisked the
Philadelphia Flyers into the
Stanley Cup Final two years ago.
That is when Leighton really
proved he could stand up to
pressure.
Ive been in tough situations
before, Leighton said.
He stepped in for the Flyers to
complete a shutout Brian
Boucher began before being
injured in Game 5 against Bos-
ton in the second round of the
playoffs. Then Leighton won the
next two games as the Flyers
became just the third team in
NHL history to win a playoff
series after falling behind 3
games to none.
Leighton didnt stop there.
He surrendered just seven
goals in five games and pitched
three shutouts in the Eastern
Conference final against Mon-
treal while taking the Flyers
from a seventh seed to the Stan-
ley Cup Final.
Thats where his hot hand
went ice cold.
Leighton struggled in the
Stanley Cup Final, finishing
with a goals-against average of
3.96 and a save percentage of
just .876 as Chicago took the
Cup from the Flyers in six
games.
But he said hes better from
the experience, even if after
signing a two-year contract for
$3.1 million, it didnt reward
him with a permanent spot on
an NHL team.
Playing for the future
He stands in goal these days
for the Adirondack Phantoms,
the Flyers top minor league
affiliate, knowing theres little
chance for him to catch light-
ning in a bottle with Philadel-
phia again.
The Flyers seem set with Ilya
Bryzgalov backed up by Sergei
Bobrovsky in goal this season,
and are right in the running for
an Atlantic Division title and a
top playoff seed in the Eastern
Conference.
Unless one of them goes
down to injury, Leightons
chances of impacting Philadel-
phias playoff chances look slim.
That leaves him battling for
his hockey future.
Im pretty much playing for a
contract next year. Im up at the
end of this year, Leighton, who
will turn 31 in May, said. Id
like to be in Philly next year, if
not, show teams I can still play.
He sure showed the Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton Penguins.
His numbers are unspectac-
ular, from his 22-23 record to a
goals-against average of 2.68.
But in a 1-0 shutout of the Pen-
guins at Mohegan Sun Arena,
Leighton stopped all 24 shots he
faced, including a few in spec-
tacular fashion. He flat-out
robbed Alex Grant by snagging
a wicked riser from point-blank
range.
An unbelievable save, Grant
called it. Hes an NHL-caliber
goalie.
The eye-catching perform-
ance took place in front of
Flyers general manager Paul
Holmgren, but Leighton said his
second shutout of the season
was more important for other
reasons.

Spring practice officially
opens Monday at Penn State.
And with Bill OBrien and his
new coaching staff in place,
nearly every starting spot is
open.
Position battles will be waged
for the next five months in prac-
tices, drills and workouts. Heres
a look at each of them. Players
listed are known to be on schol-
arship and are currently with
the team on campus.
QUARTERBACK
No Player Ht Wt Cl.
11 Matt McGloin 6-1 199 5th/Sr.
1 Rob Bolden 6-3 214 Jr./Jr.
3 Paul Jones 6-3 245 Jr./So.
Yes, its time to start this up
again. The Nittany Lions are
essentially back at square one as
an entirely new
offensive
coaching staff
begins evaluat-
ing the quarter-
backs. That
Penn State is a
serious option
for Maryland
transfer Danny
OBrien adds
even more com-
plexity to the
situation. But
these are the
three who will
have the staffs
undivided
attention dur-
ing spring ball.
McGloin has emerged on top
each of the last two seasons, but
it remains to be seen who his
competition will be by the fall.
Bolden nearly left the program
last offseason and Jones was
academically ineligible for the
2011 season.
TAILBACK
No Player Ht Wt Cl.
25 Silas Redd 5-10 200 Jr./Jr.
26 Curtis Dukes 6-1 242 Sr./Jr.
5 Bill Belton 5-10 196 So./So.
FULLBACK
No Player Ht Wt Cl.
9 Michael Zordich 6-1 242 5th/Sr.
40 Zach Zwinak 6-1 226 Jr./So.
Depth is a concern with the
early departure of Brandon
Beachum, and the Lions ad-
mitted they put too heavy a
workload on Redd last season.
An early change heading into
the spring is moving Bill Belton
from receiver to tailback.
Redd, of course, will remain

The last time
boys volleyball
was played was
just about 10
months ago. But the
Wyoming Valley Confer-
ence saw several changes since then.
When the conference schedule
ended last year, teams played 16
matches. This year, each team will
only play 12.
Thats partly because Abington
Heights, the No. 3 seed from District
2 Class 2A last season, moved to
the Lackawanna League and
West Side Tech dropped all
sports programs.
Then, just this past week,
Wyoming Area, Pittston Area
and Meyers had to drop their
programs for the year due to
lack of interest. Pittston Area
also didnt participate in 2011.
While its an unfortunate
situation that schools had to
pull out for the season, it works
well for some other teams bae-
cause they had competition
points available and they were
able to pick up another tourna-
ment. Or they will just get some
rest in between matches.

After more than 1,000 games
indoors, the Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton Penguins will try to
pick up a win outdoors.
The teamannouncedit would
take part in an outdoor game at
Hersheypark Stadium next sea-
son during the Penguins game
against St. Johns Saturday.
The Penguins will face the
Hershey Bears at the venerable
stadium Sunday, Jan. 20, 2013.
Weve been talking about
this for a long time, Penguins
CEOJeff Barrett said. We want-
ed to do it locally, but they have
the facilities, the football stadi-
um there. We have to look for
more than seats, the facilities,
the concessions that are availa-
ble to be used
in winter.
Weve looked
at it the last
3-4 years. It
might be more
beneficial
when Allen-
town comes in
the picture.
The game is
part of the
Bears celebration of their 75th
season. It will be the sixth out-
door hockey game inAHLhisto-
ry, and second in Pennsylvania.
The Bears and Adirondack
played at Citizens Bank Park in
Philadelphia on Jan. 6 in front of
more than 45,000 fans.
Ticket information will be re-
leased as it becomes available.

BOSTON Ohio State
coach Thad Matta sized up
his team in the middle of the
season and had it figured for
a first-weekend loss when the
NCAA tournament came
around.
Hes never been so happy
to be wrong.
Jared Sullinger recovered
from first-half foul trouble to
score 19 points and grab sev-
en rebounds, helping Ohio
State beat top-seeded Syra-
cuse 77-70 on Saturday to ad-
vance to the Final Four. The
second-seeded Buckeyes will
play the winner of Sundays
Midwest Regional final be-
tween North Carolina and
Kansas.
Deshaun Thomas scored
14 with nine rebounds for
Ohio State (31-7), which led
by eight points with 59 sec-
onds to play and held on after
the Orange cut it to three.
The Buckeyes made 13 of 14
free throws in the final 68 sec-
onds and 31 of 42 from the
line in all.
The Buckeyes are making
their first trip to the Final
Four since 2007, when they
lost in the national cham-
pionship game to Florida.

PHOENIX Hated to do that to ya,
kid.
Rick Pitino nearly came unhinged and
his point guard watched the end of the
game from the bench. When it was over,
though, it was Pitino and Louisville mak-
ing plans for the Final Four and his pro-
tege, Billy Donovan, and the Florida Ga-
tors wondering what the heck happened.

PATRICK KILLEEN
Penguins goalie
Ontario native Patrick Killeen fondly
recalls his childhood spent watching
Hockey Night in Canada every Sat-
urday at his best friends house. The
time he spent watching those games
allowed Killeen to build an admiration
for a certain Pittsburgh Penguin one
who he selected as his All-Time Great
for his Fantasy GM team.
Killeen also picked four other Pen-
guins for his team all very good
choices. The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
netminder did have a little trouble
deciding between two goaltenders, so
he picked them both. When you see
who they are, who could blame him?
FORWARD Sidney Crosby (Pitts-
burgh), You cant really deny him a
spot on any team. Hes a great one to
build around.
DEFENSEMAN Zdeno Chara (Bos-
ton), Hes just so reliable out there. A
big presence who has offensive up-
side, and you cant move him or really
get around him.
GOALTENDER Marc-Andre Fleury
(Pittsburgh) and Henrik Lundqvist
(N.Y. Rangers), Theyre both top-
notch guys. Fleury will battle every
night and Lundqvist has been dom-
inant all season.
POWER PLAY SPECIALIST Pavel
Datsyuk (Detroit), He works just as
hard defensively to so you dont have
to worry about him not backchecking
on the power play.
PENALTY KILL SPECIALIST Matt
Cooke (Pittsburgh), You see him
diving for pucks all the time, and hes
pretty speedy too.
SHOOTOUT SPECIALIST Pavel
Datsyuk (Detroit) and Evgeni Malkin
(Pittsburgh), Theyve both been
lights out in the shootout all season.
ENFORCER Milan Lucic (Boston),
Hes a good guy, not a liability on the
ice and he can go with anyone.
AGITATOR/PEST Shawn Thornton
(Boston), Hes always out there yell-
ing at guys and hes really tough.
HEAD COACH Dan Bylsma (Pitts-
burgh), No question. The things Ive
learned from him over the last couple
of years, its been great. He knows
how to handle the player/coach rela-
tionship very well.
ALL-TIME-GREAT Mario Lemieux
(Pittsburgh), He was my best friends
dads favorite player and I used to go
over there all the time and watch him
on Hockey Night in Canada. Even
when you see his highlights he was
just so dominant.

and 66 points in 47 games.
Recently, during the an
eight-game span from March
4-18, Petersen had eight points
while skating on a line with
Ben Street and Geoff Walker.
Ive just been feeding them
pucks and getting assists,
Petersen said.
He hopes to keep up that
point-per-game pace that has
been the trademark of most of
his career. Petersen said there
have been glimpses in his
young AHL career that proof
he is capable of such produc-
tion.
My goal is to bring a point
per game or more thats
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
Penguins forward Nick Pe-
tersen is well aware of the
criticism that has followed
him for most of his career.
No one ever questioned
Petersens offensive ability, but
the same couldnt be said for
his play in the defensive end.
Ive always been criticized
for my defense because Ive
been an offensive player,
Petersen said. Im the kind of
guy whos always looked at as
maybe a little less reliable.
But the numbers prove
otherwise.
Heading into this weekend,
Petersen was leading the Pen-
guins with a plus-14 rating.
Its not a fluke.
In 40 games with Wheeling
last season, Petersen was a
plus-17 and during his three
seasons in the Quebec Major
Junior Hockey League, he
amassed an impressive plus-98
rating.
Could Petersens offensive
ability have caused people to
overlook the fact that he can
be a capable two-way player?
Penguins coach John Hynes
said he isnt surprised that
Petersen is the Penguins plus-
minus leader.
He has an offensive mind
and gifts, but what youre
seeing now is hes making
more of a commitment to play
detailed and be reliable when
he doesnt have the puck,
Hynes said.
Thats exactly what Petersen
has been trying to do during
his rookie season with the
Penguins.
Last season Petersen ap-
peared in 23 games in Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton, posting five
goals and 14 points. This year
his production improved
nine goals and 24 points in 41
games as has his overall play.
Its been a test all year to
make sure Im sound defen-
sively and able to be relied
upon, Petersen said. Its a
focus and something I want to
keep building on.
During his last two seasons
in juniors, Petersen posted
plus-minus ratings of plus-56
and plus-46 while playing on
teams that went to the finals.
Penguins defenseman Simon
Despres was Petersens team-
mate on the Saint John squad
that went to the 2010 QMJHL
finals. He said its no surprise
that Petersen can be a reliable
player in his own end.
Hes able to play defense
when he puts his mind to it,
Despres said. He can really
play good defense.
But that doesnt mean that
Petersen is going to totally
abandon the offensive game
that made him Pittsburghs
fourth round draft pick in
2009.
In fact, Petersens offensive
numbers during his career are
just as impressive as the plus-
minus ratings.
During three seasons in
juniors, Petersen scored 87
goals and 198 points in 178
games. In several stints with
Wheeling the last two years,
Petersen recorded 28 goals
what you always want to get
to, he said. I had a few big
games at the end of last sea-
son and a few this year, now I
just have to prove to coach and
the team that I can play in a
high role and stay there.
Perhaps the biggest game
for Petersen this season was
the Feb. 17 matchup in Bing-
hamton. It was Petersens first
game back since returning
from a 10-day stint with
Wheeling.
Being sent down to the
ECHL didnt sit well with the
young winger, and Petersen
knew he needed to show right
away that the he deserved to
be in the AHL.
He responded with a goal
and two assists.
It got Petersen to thinking
that maybe the brief stay in
Wheeling wasnt all that bad.
I was there for 10 days and
we played seven games, so it
was a tough schedule, he
said. But I took it as a way to
get my confidence up, build off
it and have fun playing hockey.
Im having fun playing the
game and its helped.
Petersen hopes the solid
play earns him a big role in the
playoffs another area of the
game where hes excelled at a
better than a point-per-game
pace.
During juniors, Petersen
totaled 56 points in 47 playoff
games. With the Penguins for
last seasons playoffs, Petersen
had a two-goal game, includ-
ing the game-winner, against
Norfolk.
He knows he can do find
postseason success again and
is looking to continue his solid
play into the Calder Cup play-
offs.
I want a big role in the
playoffs, Petersen said. I
want them to rely on me and
not worry about me defensive-
ly. I can be a factor.

WILKES-BARRE TWP.
Wilkes-Barre Scranton Pen-
guins left wing Bryan Lerg
slammeda puckintothenet be-
hind St. Johns goaltender Ed-
die Pasquale.
It was the only time the Pen-
guins dented the twine, and it
didnt count the shot came af-
ter the final horn.
The Penguins were shut out
for a second consecutive night,
losing 2-0 to the IceCaps at Mo-
hegan Sun Arena.
The loss left the Penguins
(38-22-2-5) fourth in the East-
ern Conference with 83 points,
one ahead of the Hershey
Bears, who defeated the Char-
lotte Checkers 2-1 on Saturday.
St. Johns (39-19-5-3) remained
second in the Eastern Confer-
ence with 86 points and halted
a four-game losing streak.
It was the second loss for the
Penguins in 18 days to the Ice-
Caps, after sweeping a pair of
games inNewfoundlandearlier
in the season.
The most difficult part of it
is that we didnt play our best
game against one of the top
teams in the conference, Pen-
guins coach John Hynes said.
Now, we have to find ways to
win games at home and on the
road. Youhave to wingames no
matter where they are played.
The teams played at Casey
Plaza on March 6, with the Ice-
Caps taking a 5-2 win. This St.
Johns team was far different
fromthe one that visitedearlier
in the month, as more than a
third of the IceCaps roster has
changed since a feisty bunch
came in and played a physical
game against the Penguins
three weeks ago. Injuries have
ravaged the squad as it is near-
ing the end of a six-game road
trip.
Penguins goaltender Scott
Munroe made a save 26 sec-
onds in something that didnt
happen the last time St. Johns
came to town and played an
exceptional game for a second
consecutive night. He was left
with a loss again, just as he did
after a1-0loss toAdirondackon
Friday night.
The last time the IceCaps
came in, Munroe was pulled af-
ter giving up goals on the first
three shots he faced.
To me, we havent finished
our chances, Hynes said. We
had opportunities to score and
didnt score. We had two break-
aways and they had two break-
aways. They scored on theirs
and we didnt.
Despite the Penguins carry-
ing play through most of the
first period, St. Johns still got
on the board. Aaron Gagnon
blocked a shot from the point
just after the Penguins second
power play of the game ex-
pired. The puck ricocheted to
winger Raymond Sawada at
the other point, who led Gag-
non into the neutral zone and
behind the Penguins defense.
Gagnon slipped a shot under
Munroes pads togiveSt. Johns
a 1-0 lead.
The IceCaps made it 2-0 sev-
en minutes into the second pe-
riod as Jason Gregoire was
sprung at the Penguins blue
line for a breakaway on Mun-
roe. Gregoirebeat Munroehigh
to the glove side to put the
game away.
The Penguins struggled to
put pucks on the net despite
their shot advantage. They had
just two shots on their three
power plays, and had a number
of good opportunities go wide
or get knocked down before re-
aching Pasquale, who posted
his fourthshutout of the season
by making 27 saves.

SOUTH REGIONAL
No. 1 Kentucky vs. No. 3 Baylor
Where: Georgia Dome, Atlanta
TV: CBS
Announcers: Jim Nantz play-by-
play, Clark Kellogg analyst
Time: 2:20 p.m.
The spread: Kentucky by 7.5
Records: Baylor 30-7, Kentucky
35-2
How they got here: Baylor beat
No. 14 South Dakota State 68-60,
beat No. 11 Colorado 80-63, beat
No. 10 Xavier 75-70. Kentucky beat
No. 16 Western Kentucky 81-66,
beat No. 8 Iowa State 87-71, beat
No. 4 Indiana 102-90
Tourney history: Kentucky is
looking for its 15th Final Four ap-
pearance and its second in a row;
UK also has been a regional run-
ner-up 19 times. Baylor is looking
for its third Final Four appearance
but its first since 1950. The Bears
also have been a regional runner-
up twice, most recently in 2010.
Key stat: The rebound battle is
going to be big. Kentucky ou-
trebounds foes by almost eight per
game; Baylor has a plus-5.4 ad-
vantage.
The buzz: This is the first single-
digit seed of the tournament for
Baylor. On paper, these teams
basically are evenly matched. UK
has six players averaging in double
figures and no one averaging more
than 14.1 per game. Baylor has five
guys in double figures, who no one
averaging more than 13.6. Kentucky
shoots 48.7 percent from the field
and holds foes to 37.5 percent.
Baylor shoots 47.0 percent and
holds opponents to 41.5. Baylor
shoots 38.5 percent from beyond
the arc, Kentucky 37.7 percent. But
what is it they say about stats? You
can make them say anything you
want. Intensity cannot be mea-
sured and that is where these
teams differ greatly. UK brings it
for 40 minutes a game. Baylor?
Sometimes the Bears dont bring it
all, especially their frontcourt
players. If Perry Jones III, Quincy
Miller and Quincy Acy play to their
potential, this will be a memorable
game. If that trio messes around,
as they seemingly usually do, UK
will cruise into the Final Four by a
double-digit margin. Baylor PG
Pierre Jackson is quicker than UK
counterpart Marquis Teague and
could pose some problems. Jack-
son and backcourt mate Brady
Heslip, both of whom shoot at least
42.0 percent from beyond the arc,
could help Baylors cause by knock-
ing down some early 3-pointers.
MIDWEST REGIONAL
No. 1 North Carolina vs. No. 2
Kansas
Where: Edward Jones Dome, St.
Louis
TV: CBS
Announcers: Marv Albert play-by-
play, Steve Kerr analyst
Time: 5:05 p.m.
The spread: Kansas by 2.5
Records: Kansas 30-6, North
Carolina 32-5
How they got here: Kansas beat
No. 15 Detroit 65-50, beat No. 10
Purdue 63-60, beat No. 11 NC State
60-57. North Carolina beat No. 16
Vermont 77-58, beat No. 8 Creight-
on 87-73, beat No. 13 Ohio 73-65
(OT)
Tourney history: North Carolina is
looking for its 19th Final Four ap-
pearance; the Tar Heels currently
are tied with UCLA for the most.
Kansas is looking for its 14th. UNCs
most recent Final Four appearance
was in 2009, when it won the
national title. Kansas was in 08,
when it won the championship.
Key stat: This is another game
where you will want to watch the
work on the boards. North Carolina
leads the nation in rebounds at
45.3 per game, and the Heels
outrebound their opponents by 10.9
per game. Kansas averages 37.6
rebounds per game and has a
plus-5.7 advantage. If UNC is with-
out PG Kendall Marshall, any sec-
ond-chance points the Heels can
muster will be huge.
The buzz: This is the first single-
digit seed of the tourney for Kan-
sas. UNC struggled mightily with-
out Marshall against Ohio, turning
it over a season-high 24 times and
looking lost offensively at times.
Marshalls availability for Sunday
likely wont be determined until
game time, and its hard to see
UNC winning without him. Still,
UNC has a big-time frontcourt, and
Harrison Barnes (who played poor-
ly against Ohio), John Henson and
Tyler Zeller will pose matchup
problems for Kansas. KU C Jeff
Withey played well against North
Carolina State, and if he plays well
again, that would be a huge boost
for the Jayhawks. UNCs 3-point
shooting is oft-criticized, but the
Heels 34.1 percent marksmanship
from beyond the arc isnt that
much worse than Kansas 34.8
percent. KUs offense has struggled
in the tourney, but the defensive
effort has been there for the most
part. If the Jayhawks can get that
type of effort against a Marshall-
less UNC, KU will advance. If Mar-
shall plays, look for KU to be ag-
gressive and, yes, physical, against
him. In that scenario, look for KU to
entice Marshall to shoot, at least
early on, in an effort to see what
kind of offensive threat he poses.
Regardless, each of UNCs big
three up front must be productive
if the Heels are to win.

DES MOINES, Iowa Bay-
lors Brittney Griner corralled
the ball delivered to her
down the court, ahead of every-
body else, by teammate Brook-
lyn Pope and took one drib-
ble.
Then the 6-foot-8 junior from
Houston, whose talent could
be the most unique in womens
college basketball history, shot
up, dunked with both hands,
gave an extra little tug, and
hung on the rim for a blip.
Griners dunk, her second in
the last two NCAA tournament
games, sent a jolt through the
Wells Fargo Arena crowd, a
buzzing roar emanating as fans
realized theyd witnessed a
how-about-that! moment.
It will be the most talked
about play of Saturdays Sweet
16 action in the Womens
NCAA Tournament, even
though the Lady Bears were
already cruising toward their
83-68 victory over Georgia
Tech. They advanced to their
third straight Elite Eight ap-
pearance, joining the Baylor
mens team in making their
respective national quarterfi-
nals.
Its my No. 1 dunk, Griner
said later from the Lady Bears
locker room, where moments
earlier she was crooning play-
fully for a video camera, Baby,
you are my everything ...
Just the way it played out. I
smashed it and then hung for a
little bit. I tried to put my chin
up in there, but I was like, Uh,
I might get T-ed up for that..
Baylors play Griner had
35 points, 10 rebounds and six
blocks only reinforced the
going idea that these now 37-0
Bears may indeed be invinci-
ble. In addition to Griner, for-
ward Destiny Williams played a
key role, scored with 16 of her
18 points in the first half.
But top-seeded BU now faces
Tennessee on Monday with a
trip to the Final Four on the
line.
No. 2 Tennessee 84,
No. 11 Kansas 73
DES MOINES, Iowa
Meighan Simmons scored 22
points off the bench and Ten-
nessee rallied to beat Kansas
and advance to its second
straight regional final.
Glory Johnson added 18
points for the Lady Vols (27-8).
The Lady Vols trailed by as
many as 14 in the first half, but
they cut it to five by the break.
Tennessee took the lead for
good with a 19-9 run to open
the second half, and Simmons
had 16 points in the final 20
minutes. Angel Goodrich had
23 points and Aishah Suther-
land 19 for Kansas (21-13),
which fell to 0-3 in regional
semifinals.
Duke 74, St. Johns 47
FRESNO, Calif. Shay
Selby took charge in the sec-
ond half to finish with 18
points and seven assists, lead-
ing Duke to a 74-47 victory
over St. Johns on Saturday
night in the Fresno Regional
semifinals.
Chelsea Gray, who grew up
about 75 miles north in Stock-
ton, scored 13 points and Tricia
Liston had 15 for the second-
seeded Blue Devils (25-5) in
what became a surprising rout.
Duke moved within one win of
its first Final Four since 2006
and will play top-seeded Stan-
ford or No. 5 seed South Car-
olina on Monday night.

their 83-68 win over Georgia Tech in the Sweet 16 Saturday.
nals finished the game on a 23-8
run for a 72-68 victory over Do-
novans stunned Florida team in
the West Regional final.
Russ Smith, who finishedwith
19 points, followed Behanans
bucket with a pair of free throws
and then Florida freshman Bra-
dley Beal and teammate Kenny
Boynton each missed chances to
tie in the final seconds.
Louisville made one more free
throwto seal the game andreach
its ninth Final Four, the second
under Pitino, despite playing the
final 3:58 without point guard
Peyton Siva, who fouled out.
What happens is, you cant
lose confidence, Pitino said. I
kept telling the guys, Were go-
ing to the Final Four. Winthe Big
East tournament, youre going
to the Final Four, and they did.
The Big East tournament
champions are nowgoing for the
NCAA title, too. Theyre on an
eight-game winning streak, with
a trip to NewOrleans on the itin-
erary and a possible matchup
with Pitinos old school, Ken-
tucky, which will have to get by
Baylor on Sunday to set up a
grudge match to end them all.
This game had a much more
warm-and-fuzzy story line: Piti-
no, the young coach who saw
something special in Donovan,
the undersized guard, and devel-
oped a partnership that took
Providence on an unexpected
triptothe1987 Final Four. Pitino
also gave Donovan his first
coaching job and both men con-
ceded theirs was more of a fa-
ther-son relationship than any-
thing else.
Im so proud of Billy Dono-
van, the way he coached this
team, Pitino said. He was bril-
liant. He took us out of the zone.
But only one teamcould play ag-
gressive and come back like
this.
Seventh-seeded Florida (26-
11) went out in the regional final
for the secondstraight year, with
Donovan falling to 0-7 lifetime
against the man who hired him
as an assistant at Kentucky and
felt as proud as a papa when he
watched Donovan win his two
national titles in 2006 and 2007.
But make no mistake. This
was no heartwarmer.
Donovan got under Pitinos
skin early in the second half dur-
ing a timeout when he worked
over the officials, who promptly
called a foul against the Cardi-
nals (30-9) when play resumed.
He called that, Pitino shout-
ed. Why dont you just give him
a whistle?
Pitino couldnt get a break for
a while after that and when Siva
picked up his fourth foul, the
coach stomped onto the court
and got hit with a technical. Erv-
ing Walker made four straight
free throws andthe Gators ledby
11, setting the stage for what
couldve been Donovans fourth
trip to the Final Four.
But the teamthat went 8 for 11
from 3-point range in the first
half went cold, not hitting any of
nine attempts from beyond the
arc in the second.
The Gators missed seven
shots and committed one turn-
over over the last 2:30. They
didnt score after Boyntons lay-
up gave them a 68-66 lead with
2:39 left.
The games best freshman?
That was Behanan, who was far
less heralded than Beal, but out-
played him down the stretch.
The freshman fromCincinnati
scored 13 of his 17 points in the
second half, including nine over
the last 8:02 and Louisvilles last
two field goals both after Siva
had fouled out with nine points
and eight assists.
Beal, meanwhile, matched
Erik Murphy with a team-high
14 points and controlled this
game for the first 37 minutes.
But over the last 3, he tried
twicetotaketheball tothehoop,
only to get denied by 6-foot-10
center Gorgui Dieng. Beal mis-
sed the desperation 3 in the wan-
ing seconds and also got called
for traveling after stealing a wild
pass fromSmithwhile Louisville
was nursing a one-point lead
with 18 seconds left.
In the first half, Donovan
looked like the better coach,
though anyone would look good
when his team is shooting that
way. The Gators went 8 for 11
from 3, 6 for 10 from inside the
arc and constantly harassed
Louisville en route to a 41-33
lead.
But Pitino didnt become the
first coach to take three pro-
grams to the Final Four for noth-
ing. He scrapped the zone de-
fense, had his players get up in
the face of Floridas players and
it worked though the Cardi-
nals paid the price in foul trou-
ble.
When Siva got his fourth and
Pitino got his T, the coach tried
to settle things down, stepping
up to Siva and saying, It was a
foul. Stop saying it wasnt.
Whether he believed it or not,
who knows?
As for whether he thought a
comeback was possible, espe-
cially playing the final four min-
utes without Siva on the floor?
Well, Pitino did say this week
that the 1987 trip to the Final
Four made him believe any-
things possible.
This is his first trip back since
2005.

Louisvilles Peyton Siva (right), Chane Behanan (center) and
Floridas Erik Murphy battle for a rebound during the second half
of Saturdays NCAA tournament West Regional final in Phoenix.
Brandon Triche scored 15
points and Baye Keita had 10
rebounds for Syracuse (34-3).
The Orange were hoping for a
return trip to New Orleans,
where they won their only na-
tional championship in 2003.
In a tightly officiated game
that left Sullinger on the bench
in foul trouble for most of the
first half and Syracuse coach
Jim Boeheim not-quite muz-
zled after picking up a techni-
cal foul, it came down to free
throws. Syracuse was called
for 29 fouls its most in more
than three years despite
playing its usual 2-3 zone.
The Orange went to the line
25 times, making 20 foul shots.
The frequent whistles left
both teams struggling to get
into a groove in the first half
there were only four baskets in
the last 9:30. That seemed to
be good news for Ohio State,
which managed to stay with
the No. 1 seed despite getting
only 6 minutes from Sullinger,
the star of the Buckeyes East
Regional semifinal win over
Cincinnati.
Syracuse was already with-
out 7-footer Fab Melo, who
missed the tournament with
academic issues, and replace-
ment Rakeem Christmas
picked up two quick fouls early
in the second half to leave him
with four.
Ohio State opened a 46-36
lead with under 14 minutes to
play. Syracuse scored eight of
the next nine points to make it
a one-point game, but the Or-
ange could never get back in
the lead.
They trailed by eight with 59
seconds left and cut it to three,
but they needed the Buckeyes
to miss free throws, and that
didnt happen.
The loss ended a tumultu-
ous season for Syracuse that
began with accusations by two
former ball boys that they were
sexually abused in the 1980s
by Bernie Fine, a longtime Sy-
racuse assistant coach. Boe-
heim vigorously defended
him, but later walked back his
support in the face of new in-
formation. Fine, who was fired
Nov. 27, has not been charged
and has denied any wrongdo-
ing.
The school also revealed
this month that it had self-re-
ported possible violations of
its internal drug policy by
members of previous teams;
the NCAA is investigating.
But the biggest hit might
have been the loss of Melo, Sy-
racuses leading rebounder
who also averaged 5.8 points
per game. Even without him,
the Orange beat North Caroli-
na-Asheville and Kansas State
to earn a trip to Boston, then
survived a pair of potential
game-winners to beat Wiscon-
sin 64-63 on Thursday and ad-
vance to the regional final.
Ohio State reached the
round of eight by beating
Loyola of Maryland and then
Gonzaga before winning a Bat-
tle of the Buckeye State
against Cincinnati in Boston
on Thursday night. The Buck-
eyes were one of four teams
from Ohio in the round of 16,
and the only ones to make it to
the regional finals.
Ohio State is also the last re-
maining team from the Big
Ten, which placed six teams in
the NCAA tournament and
four in the round of 16.

Mainly, because his Phan-

playoff spot.
Were getting down to the
nitty-gritty, Leighton said. We
know we have to win. It gives
you extra incentive. Really, the
last five, 10games, Ive felt really
good, been playing a lot better
than I had been.
This is the time of year I
like.
Whether he likes it or not,
Leightons unlikely to shoulder
the playoff hopes of fast-rising
team in Philadelphia this year.
For his owngood, hemayas well
do it somewhere.

key, Brian Suchoski, Jake Karavitch
Key Players: Kevin Zingaretti, outside hitter, Sr.;

Coach's Outlook: Were still trying to find our-

have the strongest blocking team weve ever had
and I think thats one of our biggest strengths right
now.

...With five teams less on the schedule from last

tiplied. Our goal has always been to make the dis-
trict playoffs.
WYOMING VALLEY WEST
Coach: Joe Czopek
2011 Record: 5-11
Key Players Lost: Scott Ridge
Key Players: Matt Pieszala, outside hitter, Sr.; Ron
Serafin, opposite, Sr.; Mark Burridge, setter/out-
side hitter, So.; Kyle Spellman, middle hitter, Sr.;
Alex Himlin, middle hitter, Sr.
Coach's Outlook: Were returning seven seniors
andmost of theteamfromlast year, andonly replac-
ing our libero. If our offense comes together, its our
defense thats going to make the difference.
It really affects us because
each game is more important
now and we really need to treat
each game like a never-say-die at-
titude, said Lake-Lehman coach
Corey Brin. It almost gives you
more time to prepare for each
game. When youre playing two
games a week, its hard to pre-
pare. Now, we can improve on a
weak part of the game and catch
your breath.
COACHING CAROUSEL
Teams moving out of the WVC
werent the only drastic change
this season as a few significant
coaching moves were made.
Coming off a season where
Coughlin advanced to the dis-
tricts Class 2A championship
matchfor thesecondstraight sea-
son and nearly pulled off an up-
set, the Crusaders lost a boatload
of talent from that squad, includ-
ing coach Dave Lapinski, who
stepped down.
Lapinski turnedCoughlinfrom
a bottom of the standings team
into a perennial contender. Hes
replaced by Shayne Hanson, who
coachedat Crestwooda fewyears
ago.
At Dallas, coach Mike Labagh,
who was the WVC Coach of the
Year in2011as votedby his peers,
moved to coach at Abington
Heights this season. Nick Diaco,
who graduated from the Moun-
taineers program in 2008 and re-
mained as an assistant, takes the
reigns.
In another move, Jud Hold-
redge, who was a very successful
coach at Tunkhannock, takes
over for Bill Kline at North Poco-
no and becomes the third coach
in as many years for the program.
The Trojans finished14-2last sea-
son and were second in the con-
ference standings.
TOP TEAMS
Coughlin: Losing nearly the
whole team from last season, the
Crusaders could find themselves
in a rebuilding mode. But Cough-
lin has been put on the map the
last few years and could stay
there regardless of a new coach
by catching some teams off
guard.
Crestwood: The Comets re-
turn every starter fromlast years
team that finished 11-5 and took
fourth in the District 2 Class 2A
Tournament.
Holy Redeemer: Riding a win-
ning streak of 45 consecutive in
the Wyoming Valley Conference,
the Royals are looking for their
third straight conference title
and second straight district
championship. They havent lost
a match in the conference since
the middle of 2009.
NorthPocono: Anewcoachfor
the second straight season
shouldnt affect the Trojans run
in 2012, especially since Jud
Holdredge has a long line of suc-
cess himself coaching for nearly
30 years. North Pocono only lost
a fewstarters froma squad which
finished 14-2 a year ago.
TOP PLAYERS
Nick Banos, Crestwood: A se-
nior, he was one of the top setters
in the WVC last season, posting
numerous lines of 20-or-more as-
sists.
Jake Prohaska, Crestwood:
One of the top hitters in the
league, the 6-foot-4 senior is also
a blocker and helped the Comets
to a strong record last year. He
led Crestwood in kills and blocks
in 2011 and his coach Mike Wil-
liams is expecting another strong
season.
Mike Vamos, Holy Redeemer:
The senior was a solid defensive
player for the Royals in 2011, hav-
ing several double-digit dig
matches. An outside hitter and
defensive player, he also put up
strong numbers as a setter in
2011.
Rob Wingert, Holy Redeemer:
An All-State player last year, the
senior will play as setter and out-
side hitter once again and try to
help the Royals extend their con-
ference winning streak. If not for
Pete Alexis, he would have led
Redeemer in several categories
last year.
Dom Verdetto, North Pocono:
The senior hitter was the kill
leader for the Trojans last season
andwas votedby the coaches as a
first-team all-star. He was also a
key contributor for the teams
last district title run in 2010.
SAVE THE DATE
There are expected to be sever-
al bigmatches this season. Oneof
the most important will come in
just a fewweeks whenCrestwood
hosts Holy Redeemer onApril 14.
A few other big matches are May
3, Holy Redeemer at North Poco-
no; and May 16, Crestwood at
North Pocono.
Here is the tentative postsea-
son slate:
May 21: District 2 Class 2A
Tournament begins; May 25: Dis-
trict 2 Class 2A Finals; May 29:
First round of PIAA Champion-
ships; June 1-2: PIAA Champion-
ships at Multi-Sport Indoor Facil-
ity at Penn State University.

A NIGHT AT THE FIGHTS
AIMEE DILGER PHOTOS/THE TIMES LEADER
STATE COLLEGE Give
Imhotep Charter coach Andre
Noble a break before asking him
about next season.
After winning an overtime
thriller Saturday to take a sec-
ond straight PIAA title, and
third in four years, the Panthers
leader could use some relaxa-
tion time.
Brandon Austin had13 points
and 13 rebounds, and Imhotep
Charter withstood a poor show-
ing at the free-throw line in OT
to beat Beaver Falls 56-54 on
Saturday to take another PIAA
title.
Not yet! Give me a minute,
give me a day, Noble said when
asked what his program had to
do to extend its title run.
Thats two straight Class 2A
crowns, and three in four years,
for the Philadelphia Public
League powerhouse.
But the latest victory was far
from easy for the Panthers
(22-8).
Austin scored two key buck-
ets in overtime, but missed two
free throws with 4 seconds left
with his team leading by two to
give Beaver Falls one last shot.
The Tigers (28-3) rushed the
ball up court, but Drew Cooks
jumper bouncedoff the rimto fi-
nally give Imhotep the win.
For Austin, theres nocompar-
ison to last seasons finals, a 67-
34 rout of Greensburg Central
Catholic the win Saturday
was more satisfying.
Last year, we just breezed
through it. This year, we had to
fight to get it, Austinsaidinthe
locker room while nursing an
ice pack on a sore hand.
Austin won an anticipated
duel with Beaver Falls Sheldon
Jeter, who had 22 points and 11
rebounds. Austin, a junior, has
verbally committed to Penn
State. Jeter, a senior, also has an
offer fromthe Nittany Lions but
has yet to make a decision.
BOYS AAAA
Chester 59, Lower Merion 33
STATE COLLEGE Ches-
ter made school history Satur-
day night, though at times the
basketball didnt look pretty.
The Clippers and their vocal
contingent of fans celebrated
anyway after a satisfying 59-33
win over suburban Philadelphia
rival Lower Merion for a second
straight PIAA Class champion-
ship and the schools eighth
overall.
Rondae Jefferson had 13
points and 11 rebounds, and
Chester outlastedthe Aces inan
often sluggish affair that ended
in familiar fashion this year
Chester (32-0) capped off the
first undefeated season in the
schools impressive hoops histo-
ry. Chester also extended its
winning streak spanning two
seasons to 58.
Coach Larry Yarbray soak-
ing wet after his players show-
ered him with water in post-
game celebration stopped
short of declaring this years
team the best ever at Chester.
Thats not for me tosay. I will
say this: Winning games and
what youaccomplishmakes you
the best team. Winning two
straight championships po-
tentially we are, Yarbray said.
Maybe get better next year and
wewina third, thenwhat arethe
people going to say?
Darius Robinson scored 11
points, while Shanier Cottman
added seven, including a fall-
away 3-pointer at the buzzer in
the first quarter that helped
spark the Clippers after a slow
start.
BOYS 4A
Chester 59, Lower Merion 33
STATECOLLEGERondae
Jeffersonhad13points and11re-
bounds, and unbeaten Chester
outlasted Lower Merion for a
second straight PIAA Class 4A
championship.
After a slow start, Chester
(32-0) pulled away by dominat-
ing the glass and taking advan-
tage of the sloppy Aces (29-4).
Lower Merion went without a
field goal for a nearly 13-minute
stretch until Mike Robbins hit a
layup with about five minutes
left in the third quarter.
But the Clippers answered
with a 3-point play by Richard
Granberry for a 12-point lead
with 4:49 left, and Lower Me-
rion didnt get closer than seven
the rest of the way.
Chester won its eighth state
title, but overcame its own
mired sloppy play. The teams
combined for 49 turnovers, 29
by Lower Merion.
GIRLS AAA
Archbishop Wood 52,
Lancaster Catholic 33
STATE COLLEGE Jim
Ricci knew his team had doubt-
ers.
So when Archbishop Wood
began the season 7-8, Ricci
pulled his aside to set the record
straight.
I told them, The people
within these four walls are the
one that believe in you, Ricci
recalled. The 15 of us and the
four coaches as long as you
believe in us, we believe in you
and well get through it.
The Lady Vikings believed
and the result was something fa-
miliar.
Jackie Pierson scored 16
points, Alex Heck added nine
and nine rebounds, and Arch-
bishop Wood defeated Lancas-
ter Catholic to win a third
straight Class 3A title.
The Lady Vikings (21-10)
went home to Warminster with
PIAAgold medals again despite
having graduated seven players
from last years team, including
all five starters.
EmilyMartinscored10points
for Lancaster Catholic (30-4),
playing in its first title game
since 1996.
The Crusaders, who scored
90 in the semifinals, were stifled
by Archbishop Woods extended
halfcourt defense.

Steel-High 66,
North Catholic 59
STATE COLLEGE When
Jeffery Chisholm arrived at
Steelton-Highspire as an assist-
ant coach in 2005, the Rollers
had a hard time fielding a team.
Now, five years after taking
over as head coach, Steel-High
has won back-to-back PIAA ti-
tles.
Malia Tate-DeFreitas scored
18 points, Amber Hess-Moore
added 17 and Steel High defeat-
ed Pittsburgh North Catholic to
win another Class A crown
not bad for a team thats only
been to the finals twice.
The Rollers fortunes have
changed dramatically since Chi-
solms first year at Steel-High
(28-3).
We only had like six girls in
the gym, he recalled Saturday
about the 2005-6 season when
the Rollers lost all 26 games.
The girls trying out for the
team were volleyball players,
softball players, cheerleaders.
The next year wasnt much
better, whenSteel-Highfinished

get your bike ready for the up-
coming season.
I caught up with our good
friends TomJones andLeeFrantz
of Around Town Bicycles and
asked them what every cyclist
should do before heading out on
the roads.
Pump up the tires would be
No. 1, Frantz said while working
on a bike in the downtown
Wilkes-Barre shop.
Lubricate the chain would be
No. 2.
He added that cyclists should
inspect all the nuts and bolts and
make sure they are tight also.
That would be the minimum
that you would want to do.
Frantz said that cyclists will
want tobesuretoget anynagging
problems from the year before
corrected before heading out.
Trust me, if you were having
problems with a shifter last Octo-
ber, thebikedidnt fixitself sitting
idle over the winter.
I found that one out the hard
way.
Jones added a little extra atten-
tion to your drive train is never a
bad idea, either.
Modern chains are a lot nar-
rower, so they usually last 1500 to
2000 miles, he said.
Replacingawornout chainwill
ease wear and tear on your gears.
Once your done with all that,
you arent quite set to head out
yet.
If you use clipless pedals, be
sure to check your cleats for ex-
cessive wear and replace them if
necessary.
Andif your helmet is morethan
three years old, you will want to
replace that, too,
UVrays breakdownthe protec-
tive Styrofoamincyclinghelmets
over time, degrading their ability
to protect a cyclist in the event of
a crash.
Newer helmets are generally
lighter and cooler than ones even
a few years older, so there is an-
other advantage to buying a new
helmet.
Now, that weve got that all out
of the way, we can finally go out
and enjoy a ride.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. The
four-way competition to become
Notre Dames starting quarter-
backjobis just gettingstarted
and it could be a long haul.
The Fighting Irish have three
days of spring practices done,
and only one in full pads.
Coach Brian Kelly has made it
clear that all four players ju-
nior Tommy Rees, sophomores
Andrew Hendrix and Everett
Golson and freshman Gunner
Kiel will have an equal oppor-
tunity at earning the start when
the Fighting Irishopentheir sea-
son on Sept. 1in against Navy in
Dublin, Ireland.
Kelly inno hurry to make a de-
cision.
I think if theres no clear
break (in the competition) as we
go through the spring, I think
this process continues to evolve
as we work through preseason
camp, Kelly said after practice
Saturday. Thats my take look-
ing at it right now after the first
couple of days.
Kelly simplified the playbook
this spring to level the playing
field for the younger quarter-
backs still learning the system.
Of the four quarterbacks com-
peting, only Rees and Hendrix
have taken snaps in a game for
the Irish.
If you hand the full playbook
to those guys theydbe spinning,
so I understand where theyre
coming from, Rees said.
Rees started 12 of 13 games
last season, but threw 14 inter-
ceptions and lost five fumbles in
an 8-5 season. Only five players
returning on the offensive side
have started more than the 16
games Rees has started in his
Irish career, but the junior has
accepted the competition.
Hendrixs role increased in
Notre Dames final two games
against Stanford and Florida
State last season and brings mo-
bility to the position. Hendrix
was 18 for 37 for 249 yards with
one touchdown and two inter-
ceptions. He also ran for 162
yards on 25 carries for one
touchdown.
Golsonenters thequarterback
competition after spending the
majority of his freshman season
working with the scout offense
and running the systems of
Notre Dame opponents to pre-
pare the starting defense every
week.
Being on scout team going
against the first team defense, it
helped me out a lot, Golson
said. I got used to the speed of
the game real quick and every-
thing. I think the only thing I
was lacking after that was just
the footwork just because I
didnt have a coach back there
with me.
The 6-0, 185-pound Golson
will benefit fromcloser coaching
this season as the staff tries to
harness the athleticism that
earned him all-state honors in
both football and basketball as a
high schooler in South Carolina.
Kiels been on campus for just
two months, but the early-en-
rolled freshman was one of the
most sought after recruits in the
country. He has focusedonsoak-
ing up as much as he can from
the other quarterbacks, while
challenging them at the same
time.
Kiel said hes been impressed
with the talent of the other quar-
terbacks as theyve welcomed
him to their group.
Theyre very good. They
know the plays very well and
they know the timing and
theyre footwork very well, Kiel
said. They all want the same
thing too and thats to get the
starting job.

DUNEDIN, Fla. Atlanta
Braves third baseman Chipper
Jones will miss the start of his
farewell season.
Two days after Jones an-
nounced this will be his final
year, the Braves said Saturday
that Jones needs arthroscopic
surgery to repair torn meniscus
in his left knee.
The procedure will be per-
formed Monday. The 39-year-
old Jones will open the season
on the disabled list, but the
team expects him to miss only
the first six games. General
manager Frank Wren said Jones
should return in time for the
April 13 home opener.
Martin Prado, normally the
teams starting left fielder, will
move to the infield until Jones
returns. Wren said hes not look-
ing to make a trade for help at
third base or in the outfield.
Manager Fredi Gonzalez said
hell be cautious not to rush
Jones back.
Im thinking, just being com-
mon sense, that this may take a
little longer, Gonzalez said
after a spring training game.
Weve got to get him back in
shape and swinging the bat.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi
said his rotation might not be
finalized until the end of spring
training.
Ivan Nova, Phil Hughes, Mi-
chael Pineda and Freddy Garcia
are competing for three spots
behind opening day starter CC
Sabathia and Hiroki Kuroda.
Girardi said before Saturdays
game against Detroit that he is
going back and forth regarding
the decision.
When youre talking about
the six guys, theyre all so
close, Girardi said. Is it going
to be a tough decision? Ive kind
of resigned myself to that fact at
this point because the guys are
throwing the ball well.
Andy Pettitte, who ended his
brief retirement by recently
signing a minor league contract,
could be ready to pitch in the
majors by May 1.
Thats down the road, Girar-
di said. Sometimes things have
a way of working themselves
out by then.
Pettitte had a batting practice
session on Friday, and will
throw off a bullpen mound Sun-
day.
It is possible the left-hander
will pitch in a spring training
game before the team breaks
camp on April 4.
Also, David Robertson, side-
lined by a bruised right foot, is
scheduled to pitch Sunday. The
eighth-inning set-up man threw
in a simulated game on Friday.

Thompson still has time to
appeal.
General manager Terry Ryan
said Saturday that suspension
involved recreational drug
use.

Sergio Escalona will have liga-
ment-replacement surgery on

earned runs in 11-3 innings in
two spring training appear-
ances.

FONTANA, Calif. Joey
Logano won the Nationwide
Series race at Auto Club Speed-
way on Saturday, becoming the
first Sprint Cup Series driver to
win at that level this season.
It was Loganos 10th career
Nationwide win and extended
Joe Gibbs Racings streak of
eight consecutive Nationwide
victories in Fontana.
After starting from the pole,
Logano reclaimed the lead after
a restart with 12 laps to go. He
held off a tight pack including
Ricky Stenhouse Jr., who fin-
ished second, and third-place
Brad Keselowski.
Elliott Sadler finished ninth.
He still leads Stenhouse by 18
points atop the Nationwide
standings.
Danica Patrick got nothing to
celebrate on the eve of her 30th
birthday.
She dropped out with engine
failure near the midway point,
finishing 35th in another dis-
appointing result during her
first full season in the series.
Patricks car picked up debris
in the front grill at some point
early in the race, apparently
puncturing her radiator. The JR
Motorsports Chevrolet eventu-
ally seized, and Patrick was left
disappointed.
Thats just what happened,
Patrick said in the garage. Its
not a Chevy issue. Its not a
team issue. Its just a bad luck
issue, and unfortunately, I feel
like weve been catching a fair
amount of it at the beginning of
the season.
Patrick hasnt finished higher
than 12th in five Nationwide
races this season, taking a step
back from her promising results
last season when she ran a part-
time NASCAR schedule and a
full IndyCar slate.
She crashed in the Nation-
wide race in Daytona after win-
ning the pole before getting
caught up in a large wreck in-
volving Jimmie Johnson in the
season-opening NASCAR race,
which was her Sprint Cup Se-
ries debut.
She also wrecked in a qualify-
ing race the previous Thursday.
Patrick then finished 21st in
Phoenix and a solid 12th in Las
Vegas, but managed only 19th at
Bristol last week. She still was
12th in the Nationwide stand-
ings heading to Fontana.
ON THE BRINK?: Kasey
Kahne isnt the only notable
driver whose car is in danger of
losing its automatic spot in the
NASCAR field.
Casey Mears is just above
Kahne at 33rd place in owner
points, while the No. 10 car
driven by David Reutimann and
Patrick is in 36th, four points
behind Landon Cassills Toyota.
Only the top 35 after this
weekends race at Auto Club
Speedway dont have to sweat
qualifying to make sure theyre
racing on Sundays.
SEE THE MOUSE: Nation-
wide driver Tayler Malsam just
turned 23 last month, and his
off-week plans are fitting for a
guy with his baby face: Hes
going to Disneyland.
My sister lives down here in
San Diego, so Ill hang out with
her all week, said Malsam.

the star of the show. Granted,
everyone has something to
prove to a new coaching staff,
but Redds spot is as secure as
anyones one the roster.
It remains to be seen how
heavily the fullback will be
involved in OBriens offense,
but Zordich should see the field
one way or another.
WIDE RECEIVER
No Player Ht Wt Cl.
19 Justin Brown 6-3 209 Sr./Sr.
20 Devon Smith 5-7 147 Sr./Sr.
81 Shawney Kersey 6-1 199 Sr./Jr.
85 Brandon Moseby-Felder 6-2 188 Sr./Jr.

17 Christian Kuntz 6-4 222 Sr./Jr.
15 Alex Kenney 6-0 193 Jr./So.
80 Matt Zanellato 6-3 195 So./Fr.
The Lions will be looking for
Brown to take over as the go-to
target right away. As one of the
only bright spots in the Ticket-
City Bowl loss to Houston,
Brown now has an opportunity
to impress.
Smith is experienced but
remains inconsistent. Theres
plenty of chances for the juniors
and sophomores to make their
case. Kersey has talent but
hasnt been able to stay on the
field. Moseby-Felder and Rob-
inson appeared sparingly last
season and the rest of the group
is unproven.
TIGHT END

10 Kevin Haplea 6-4 248 Jr./Jr.
89 Garry Gilliam 6-6 277 Sr./Jr.
87 Kyle Carter 6-3 241 So./Fr.
32 Dakota Royer 6-1 223 Jr./So.
18 Jesse James 6-7 265 Fr./Fr.
A nondescript position more
years than not for Penn State,
the tight end figures to be fea-
tured much more prominently
under OBrien, who utilized a
very successful two tight end
system in New England. The
Lions, of course, dont have Rob
Gronkowski and Aaron Hernan-
dez, and star recruit Adam Bre-
neman doesnt arrive for anoth-
er year yet.
Haplea has split time in the
lineup the past two years and
Gilliam has missed all but four
games in that stretch because of
a serious knee injury and set-
backs with his recovery.

CENTER
No Player Ht Wt Cl.
54 Matt Stankiewitch 6-3 295 5th/Sr.
60 Ty Howle 6-0 298 Sr./Jr.
65 Miles Dieffenbach 6-3 286 Jr./So.
With just one returning in
starter in Stankiewitch at cen-
ter, the O-line figures to be one
of the most intriguing positions
to watch this spring. Add in an
overhauled strength and condi-
tioning program and the switch
to just one coach for the entire
line (Mac McWhorter) and
there is plenty of room for im-
provement.
At tackle, Farrell is the only
candidate to see significant
snaps in past years and is a
favorite to start. Gress has an
edge in experience but Smith
was pushing to see the field as a
true freshman before ultimately
redshirting. Cadogan is back at
tackle full-time after some stints
as a blocking tight end.
On the interior, Urschel split
time at right guard a year ago,
but there will be competition at
both guard spots. Arcidiacono
was on the two-deep last season
but an injury could limit him
this spring. That might open a
door for Shrive, a West Scranton
grad looking for his first mea-
ningful snaps.
DEFENSIVE END

59 Pete Massaro 6-4 263 5th/Sr.

86 C.J. Olaniyan 6-3 250 Jr./So.
18 Deion Barnes 6-4 248 So./Fr.

93 James Terry 6-3 317 5th/Sr.
98 Anthony Zettel 6-5 255 So./Fr.
75 Evan Hailes 6-1 303 Jr./So.
Penn State welcomes back
Massaro from his second major
knee surgery. He and Stanley are
by far the most experienced ends
on the roster, though there is
talent to be developed at the
position. Baublitz and Olaniyan
should both work into the rota-
tion. A spot has opened up with
the recent dismissal of Shawn
Oakman.
At tackle, the Lions almost
assuredly wont be able to re-
place the production of Devon
Still, but Hills return for a final
season will help as Jones likely
steps into Stills old spot.
LINEBACKER
No Player Ht Wt Cl.
42 Michael Mauti 6-2 239 5th/Sr.
6 Gerald Hodges 6-2 233 Sr./Sr.
40 Glenn Carson 6-3 238 Jr./Jr.
11 Khairi Fortt 6-2 238 Jr./Jr.
43 Mike Hull 6-0 213 Jr./So.
33 Michael Yancich 6-2 240 5th/Sr.
38 Ben Kline 6-2 224 So./Fr.
For all of the issues the Lions
have to work out this spring,
linebacker wont be one of them.
Penn State remains deep and
talented at the position.
Though Ron Vanderlinden is
back to coach the unit, it will be
interesting to see how the line-
backers roles change playing for
new defensive coordinator Ted
Roof.
One imagines the Lions will
open up with the same group
that started last fall Mauti and
Hodges flanking Carson in the
middle. But Fortt will push for
time and again will get in-
creased first-team reps in the
spring as Mauti recovers from
his second ACL tear.
CORNERBACK

SAFETY
No Player Ht Wt Cl.
10 Malcolm Willis 5-11 205 Sr./Jr.
7 Stephen Obeng-
Agyapong
5-10 201 Sr./Jr.
One of the biggest concerns
for the program is the second-
ary, specifically the lack of
depth at both corner and safety.
That means its time to experi-
ment a bit, and one such move
could be a switch for Drake,
who was at receiver in his first
three seasons.
Morris and Amos have the
makings of an effective tandem,
but there are concerns behind
them, particularly if off-field
problems continue to keep Tho-
mas out of games.
At safety, Willis has shown to
be a capable starter as a fill-in.
Obeng-Agyapong is the only
other known scholarship safety,
with walk-ons Jake Fagnano and
Ryan Keiser as depth options.
PENN STATE
MarchMadness is all about the
NFL this year.
From Peyton Manning in Den-
ver to Tim Tebow in New York.
From Sean Payton getting sus-
pended for New Orleans bounty
systemto Saints players awaiting
possible punishment for partici-
pating in it.
Not to mention the other big
free agent signings. Howdid Ma-
rio Williams wind up in Buffalo?
Theres 100 million reasons.
How about Calvin Johnsons
$132 million deal through 2019
with the Lions, merely the rich-
est contract in NFL history, with
Megatron getting $60 million
guaranteed?
No matter what happens in the
NCAA basketball tournament,
with the Final Four in the Big
Easy of all places, it cant top
what the NFL has produced in
March.
And thats with the draft, usu-
ally the focal point of the offsea-
son, still a month away.
The past two weeks, in partic-
ular, have been off the charts for
NFL interest.
Fans love it and they crave it,
said Rich Gannon, the 2002 NFL
Most Valuable Player and now a
host on SiriusXM NFL Radio.
They dont want an offseason
and there hasnt really been one,
fromthe Super Bowl andthe one-
month buildup to the combine
and free agency, and then to ev-
erything lately.
I took my car in for service
and three guys there, all they
were saying was what about the
Saints? Andthenthe Tebowstuff;
I am not surprised by that at all.
And Peyton in Denver.
In addition to the front-page
news, there have been some off-
season moves that would be a big
deal in any other year.
Example A: A massive trade of
picks between Washington and
St. Louis already has spiced up
thedraft, withtheRedskins inpo-
sition to land Heisman Trophy
winner Robert Griffin III (if Indy
doesnt take him at No. 1 instead
of Andrew Luck).
Example B: The same Red-
skins and their division-rival
Cowboys, each get dinged for
huge salary cap reductions by the
league.
Rarely does anything in sports
push The Big Dance off center
stage. But all the NFL action has
done just that.
No reason to think it will stop
now, with penalties for Saints de-
fensive players sure to come, if
not by the end of this unpredict-
able month then quickly in April.
It does grabattention; scandals
always do. So two of the NFLs
transcendent quarterbacks came
along to rescue the leagues im-
age a bit: Manning and Tebow.
Anytime a four-time MVP
changes addresses, its huge
news. When that player never
missed a start in 13 seasons be-
fore sitting out an entire year af-
ter four necksurgeries, interest is
piqued a mile high.
It is a huge plus to have a Pey-
ton Manning on your roster,
Broncos boss JohnElway saidup-
onsigning Manning to a five-year
contract worth $96 million if ful-
filled.
And a huge plus to have himin
the league to deflect some atten-
tion fromthe bad vibes surround-
ing the Saints.
Ditto for Tebow, whose job dis-
appeared in Denver when Man-
ning joined the Broncos. Where
else for him to land but with the
Jets, who seem determined to
win the back pages of the New
York tabloids while their co-in-
habitants at the Meadowlands,
the Giants, win Super Bowls.
The Jets swift action well,
swift until there was an eight-
hour delay as the Jets discovered
a clause in Tebows contract that
would have cost them $5 million
before it was renegotiated
shifted the glare away from the
Saints, as well.
In the middle of all this, the
Cowboys had $10 million of sala-
ry cap space stripped and the
Redskins lost a whopping $36
million, spread over this year and
next.
What chaos could be ahead?
Plenty.
New Orleans star quarter-
back DrewBrees has yet to reach
agreement on a new contract
and, given the Saints precarious
situation, imagine how ugly
things might get if he ignores the
franchise tag the team plunked
on him and stays away from off-
season workouts.
Witha rookie wage scale lim-
iting financial investments, more
blockbuster draft trades could
happen. As it is, the Redskins
mortgaged much of their future
to move up four spots to get RG
III.
Still out there ready to grab
attention, if not many passes, is
Terrell Owens. So might be Chad
Ochocinco if the Patriots release
him. And Randy Moss is back,
landing in San Francisco.
Tebow vs. Mark Sanchez.
Just wait until the incumbent
stumbles, evenmomentarily, and
the Big Apple is rocked by
screams from Tebows loyal le-
gions.
At least there are no labor bat-
tles to be wagedfor 4
1
2 months by
Americas richest sports league
and its players. Last year at this
time, wewereinthemiddleof the
lockout. No one knew if the 2011
season would even happen.
I think the NFL is in great
shape, Manning said, with
some great owners, great coach-
es and great people in leader-
ship.
Dont forget plenty of news-
makers.

OUTDOORS
T
he first step of an important proc-
ess will be taken tomorrow.
Thats when the Governors
Advisory Council for Hunting, Fishing
and Conservation will meet in Harris-
burg for its first quarterly meeting.
The topic?
Filling the two vacant commissioner
seats on the Pennsylvania Game Com-
mission board.
The council will interviewnine appli-
cants who have applied for the vacant
seats in the southeast and north central
regions. Its going to be a long process,
but one that the council should be able
to finish in a day.
Noxen resident Dale Butler is the only
local resident on the council. He is also
director on the Pennsylvania Chapter of
the National Wild Turkey Federation
Board and is no stranger to hunting
issues and their importance.
The council will hold four quarterly
meetings this year and is charged with
making recommendations to the gover-
nor regarding issues, legislation or pol-
icies that may affect outdoor recreation
and conservation.
Its a pretty broad spectrum, but on
Monday the groups focus will be nar-
rowed.
And rightly so.
The pressing thing right nowis to get
the commissioner seats filled. Its a big
one, Butler said. To me, its a very
serious issue.
Why?
Well, the way Butler sees it, having a
full board of commissioners ensures
every region in the state has direct repre-
sentation. Just as important, he said, is
that a full board creates a diversity of
opinions.
Thats fine, as long as theres at least
one consensus: to do whats best to
promote and protect the future wildlife,
hunting and trapping.
Thats Butlers focus as a member of
the advisory council.
The only reason I got involved in any
of this is for the future of the hunting,
fishing and conservation, he said.
Keeping politics out of it
As of last week, Butler didnt knowthe
names of the nine applicants or their
backgrounds. But he does knowone
thing he doesnt want to see enter the
interviewprocess: politics.
When the interviews are completed,
the council will recommend two names
to the governor. If the governor likes
what he sees, those names will be sent to
the legislature for their approval.
Up until that point, Butler said politics
have no role in the interviewprocess.
I hope we can keep it out completely.
Politicians may have the power, but they
dont always have the right answers, he
said. The most important thing for me
is doing whats right for the future of
hunting and fishing.
Butlers confident that the current
makeup of the council wont be swayed
by politics.
I hope hes right. While the council is
large, its makeup is diverse and includes
some who have a wealth of experience in
dealing with outdoor issues. Lets hope
there are no personal agendas that pro-
hibit the exchanging and consideration
of ideas and viewpoints among council
members.
As we listen to each others opinions,
I hope to learn fromthe different view-
points, Butler said. We dont have
personal agendas.
But they do have a lot of work ahead
of them, beginning with filling the two
commissioner seats.
Butler didnt knowif the process when
the seats will be filled, but he hopes it
doesnt take long.
Lets hope not, because the PGCboard
will be making some big decisions when
they set antlerless license allocations at
their April meeting.
It may be asking for a lot, but it would
be nice to have a full board of commis-
sioners to handle such an important
task.

Pair pleads guilty
Howard Scott Young, 46, of Rome,
and Raymond Henry Hajduga, 45, of
Athens, both pled guilty to multiple
violations of the Game and Wildlife
Code at a hearing held last month in
front of Bradford County District
Justice Fred M. Wheaton, in Wysox,
Bradford County. All charges
stemmed from an incident which
occurred on Oct. 29, near Huddle
Road, Windham Township.
Just after 10:30 p.m., Game Com-
mission Wildlife Conservation Offi-
cer Joseph Wenzel, Land Manage-
ment Officer Rich Lupinsky, and two
Deputy WCOs responded to Huddle
Road after receiving information that
shots were fired at deer in the area.
All officers were on duty and on
patrol as part of Operation Talon, a
statewide saturation patrol employed
to curtail poaching.
Young was found to be driving a
truck that met the description pro-
vided by an informant while Hajduga
was positioned in the back seat of
the vehicle. A juvenile passenger was
present in the front seat. Game Com-
mission Officers removed several
rifles, handguns, a crossbow, knives,
and other evidence from the vehicle.
The ensuing investigation revealed
that Young, Hajduga and the juvenile
had been attempting to shoot deer
when they were confronted. An an-
tlerless deer killed by the trio was
later retrieved from the home of
Young.
Both Young and Hajduga were
charged with multiple Game and
Wildlife Code violations, including
two counts each of unlawful killing
or taking of big game, unlawful use
of lights while hunting, restrictions
on recreational spotlighting and
possessing loaded firearms in vehi-
cles. In 2011, the charge of unlawful
killing or taking of big game was
upgraded to a misdemeanor offense
after the passage of Act 54, which
provided for increased penalties for
certain violations dealing with the
killing of big game.
Fines and restitution costs for
Young and Hajduga were assessed at
$2,350 each and the two men face
loss of hunting license privileges in
the state of Pennsylvanian for a peri-
od of 10 years.
The juvenile present with the
defendants was not charged and
cooperated fully with Game Com-
mission WCOs.
The number and types of weap-
ons found in the truck was an eye-
grabber, Wenzel said. WCOs rou-
tinely deal with violators who are
armed, but these individuals appar-
ently would choose a firearm or
crossbow based on the deers proxim-
ity to the truck.

rounded shape while hauling in the
weight of a fish, along with improved
casting ease and feel.
It takes Belisle about 10 to 12 hours
to make a handmade rod which is
called the blank before the guides,
grip and reel seat are added.
The process begins with a mandrel
a tapered steel rod that acts as a
skeleton. Belisle wraps layers carbon
fiber over the mandrel and bakes it in
a custom oven for two hours at 266
degrees.
The mandrel is
then removed
and two layers of
flexible clearcoat
are applied. Be-
lisle adds blue or
green pigment to
give them a glow
in sunlight.
Belisle makes
eight different
rods and has
plans to add six
more models.
The process
for building each
one is tweaked,
resulted in a rod
that is custom-
ized to certain
types of angling.
A five-foot ultralight spinning rod
dubbed The Nescopeck has a layer
of Kevlar wrapped with the carbon
fiber. Belisle said the material makes
the rod, which is designed for stream
casting for trout or angling for panfish,
more durable and improves the action.
I try to make the rods very user
friendly with ease of casting, Belisle
said. Because I only have a few on the
market right now, I want them to be
versatile as well.
Each rod goes through a three-step
testing process before the model hits
WHITE HAVEN When Scott
Belisle was laid off from his job as a
land surveyor in 2009, he turned to his
true love.
Fishing.
Tired of dealing with the uncertain-
ties that come with todays job market,
Belisle decided it was time to take
matters into his own hands. He re-
called a time five years ago when he
studied the hood of a custom car that
was made out of carbon fiber and
wondered why the material couldnt
be used to build fishing rods.
But when Belisle was laid off in
2009, he took things one step further
and started his own business the
Lehigh Fishing Company, designing
and building fishing rods with a com-
bination of resin and carbon fiber.
When I lost my job, I decided to
give this a go, Belisle said. It took
me two-and-a-half years of trial and
error to develop these rods. When I
started out I broke quite a few rods to
get to a good one.
With no experience working with
resin or carbon fiber, Belisle had to
educate himself on the materials be-
fore he could start designing rods. He
was in uncharted waters, he said,
because no other fishing rod manu-
facturers were using carbon fiber.
I wanted my rods to be unique and
I didnt want to do what everyone else
was doing, Belisle said.
He chose to work with carbon fiber
because of its strength and resiliency.
As the carbon fiber layers are
stretched over the rod, it compresses
and increases sensitivity transferring
the slightest tap of a biting fish direct-
ly to the anglers hand.
Combined with a resin system, the
rods have increased hoop strength
the ability to bend and remain in a
the market. The first two focus on the
rods flexibility and ability to pick up
and hold a certain weight.
But its the third test that Belisle
said is the most crucial.
Thats the field test, actually take it
out and catch some fish with it, he
said. I dont put anything on the
market until I catch fish with it.
And when Belisle does catch fish
with a rod he built, he admits its a bit
of a relief.
Youre not sure how the
rods going to withstand a
fighting fish, he said. You
build these rods the right
way with attention to de-
tail, but catching a fish with
it is the ultimate test.
That test has been the
proving factor for all of
Belisles rods, including a
medium-action spinning
rod called The Dam.
Belisle designed the rod
for lakes, large rivers and
light inshore fishing, know-
ing it had to haul in some
hefty fish. He took it on a
saltwater trip in southern
New Jersey and twice hook-
ed into 40-pound stingrays.
It was quite a test.
The line broke but the rod help up
just fine, Belisle said.
As Belisle continues to get his name
on the rod market and release new
models, he falls back on his love of
fishing to keep him focused.
It was my passion for fishing that
got me into this, and its that same
passion that has kept me going
through two-and-a-half years of re-
search and testing before I finally put
rods on the market, he said. Id like
to grow to be one of the biggest names
out there, but my rods will always be
handmade.

ORLANDO, Fla. One
swing cost Tiger Woods a com-
fortable lead at Bay Hill. All that
mattered to him was his name
atop the leaderboard at the end
of the day, leaving him one
round away from winning on
the PGA Tour for the first time
in 30 months.
If anything, Saturday showed
that it wont be easy in the Ar-
nold Palmer Invitational.
In two holes, Woods went
from a four-shot lead to briefly
tied with Graeme McDowell
after a bizarre chain of events
that featured a young man pass-
ing out and a woman screaming,
all in the middle of Woods
swing on the 15th tee.
But he followed the double
bogey with a birdie from a fair-
way bunker on the par-5 16th to
restore his lead, and then hung
on for a 1-under 71 that gave
him a one-shot lead over McDo-
well going into the final round.
McDowell didnt make a bird-
ie until the 17th hole, but he was
bogey-free on a tough day for a
71.
Woods is 37-2 when he has
the outright lead going into the
final round, and Sunday will
show if he has regained his
status as the most formidable
closer in golf.
Woods, who was at 11-under
205, last won on the PGA Tour
on Sept. 13, 2009, at the BMW
Championship. That also was
the last time he had the outright
lead at a PGA Tour event after
54 holes.
He has never had a better
chance to end the drought than
now in the lead and on a
course where he has won a
record six times.
I enjoy it, Woods said of his
place atop the leaderboard. It
means Ive played well to get
there. Its not like Im slashing it
all over the place and happened
to be at 11-under par. If youre in
the lead, youve done some good
things. Thats how Ive always
looked at it, and its a nice posi-
tion to be in.
Woods has such control of his
golf ball that he went 35 consec-
utive holes with a putter in his
hand for a birdie attempt.
The last time Woods and
McDowell played in the final
group of any tournament,
McDowell rallied from four
shots behind and beat Woods in
a playoff in the Chevron World
Challenge at the end of 2010.
The golf course is going to
be the main competitor tomor-
row, McDowell said.
Indeed, it might not be just
them.
Ernie Els rekindled his hopes
of getting into the Masters with
six birdies in a round of 67 that
left him only three shots behind.
Ian Poulter had a 68 and also
was tied for third, while Charles
Howell III (68) and Sony Open
winner Johnson Wagner (69)
were four behind.
The atmosphere is going to
be fantastic out there tomorrow,
due to him being in the mix,
McDowell said of Woods.
Theres going to be a nice
amount of expectations on him
tomorrow, trying to complete
the comeback.
Hes still got to win, McDo-
well said. Still got to go win
tomorrow, like the rest of us
have to.

BUSINESS S E C T I O N D

W
hen you read news stories for a
living, not a whole lot is sur-
prising. Greed, corruption,
crime and incompetence are frequent
themes on the business pages, financial
websites and Bloomberg television.
Sometimes, though, a statement or
report jumps out to provide insight into
the fundamental causes of fiscal break-
down. Here are a few gems collected in
just the past few weeks:
An economist, after an encouraging
report on consumer confidence:
People are back to spending most of
the additional income that they get, so
as employment increases and you get
some meager (italic added) increases in
wages, they do feed through to more
spending.
You think if the wage increases were
more than meager things would get
better faster?
From an AP story on economic
growth in the fourth quarter of 2011:
Growth would have been stronger
last quarter if not for a steep drop in
government spending. Cuts in federal
defense spending, along with reduced
spending at the state and local levels,
shaved nearly a full point off growth.
Still think government isnt a legiti-
mate part of the economy?
From a Bloomberg BusinessWeek
story on the plight of the rich:
People who dont have money dont
understand the stress, said Alan Dlu-
gash, a partner at accounting firm
Marks Paneth & Shron LLP in New
York who specializes in financial plan-
ning for the wealthy. Could you imag-
ine what its like to say I got three kids
in private school, I have to think about
pulling them out? How do you do that?
99 percenters just dont get it.
A March 4 Washington Post story
about the foreclosure crisis:
The eviction from their million-
dollar home could come at any mo-
ment. Keith and Janet Ritter have been
bracing for it and battling against it
almost from the moment they
moved into the five-bedroom, 4,900-
square-foot manse along the Potomac
River in Fort Washington.
In five years, they have never made a
mortgage payment, a fact that amazes
even the most seasoned veterans of the
foreclosure crisis.
Is anyone not amazed?
From a FEMA press release:
The Department of Homeland Secu-
ritys Federal Emergency Management
Agency announced today (Feb. 29) the
approval of a grant totaling more than
$1 million to elevate 11 residential struc-
tures in Gloucester County, VA.
The properties were damaged as a
result of repetitive flooding.
These grants are administered
through FEMAs Hazard Mitigation
Grant Program. Under the HMGP,
FEMA elevates at-risk properties so the
owners can reduce risk while without
having to leave their community.
Wouldnt it be cheaper to pay them to
move away?

Does what you wear affect how
well you work?
Quite possibly. Weve all had the
experience of feeling more motiva-
ted and focused when were dressed
up for work -- whether that means
donning a suit when our usual office
dress is khakis and a golf shirt or, for
those who work from home, simply
getting out of pajamas. But new re-
search shows that wearing certain
items of clothingidentifiedwithcer-
tain qualities could help improve
performance, too.
A recently published study from
professors at North-
western University
shows that when
research subjects
wore a scien-
tists or med-
ical doctors
white coat,
they per-
formed bet-
ter on
whats
known as the
Stroop test,
which asks
participants to
say the color of a
word being
shown on a
flashcard, rather
than the word itself. The group who
donned white jackets identified as
lab coats performed better on con-
flictingflashcards, suchas whenthe
word blue is spelled in red letters.
Those wearing the lab coats, which
people typically associate with care
and attentiveness, made about half
as many errors as their peers.
The researchers, Adam Galinsky
andHajoAdam, call their paper En-
clothed cognition, a play on the
term embodied cognition, the
idea that bodily sensations can af-
fect how we think and how we feel.
For example, the folks over at Mill-
er-McCune magazine point to a
2010 study that found that body po-
sitions wethinkof as powerful (such
as standing and leaning over a table
or pumping out your chest) make
people act more confident and even
raise testosterone levels in the body.
Interestingly, the study subjects
who wore similar white coats but
were told they were artists coats
did not performabove average. As a
result, Galinsky says their findings
showthat its not just the experience

The 100-megawatt wind farm

why Kansas is the nations top des-

But any prospects for a Flat

Impressions Media, which
operates The Times Leader,
other publications, associated
websites and digital media en-
terprises, has launched a divi-
sion designed to bring the mar-
keting power of the Internet to
businesses any place reached
by the Web, whether in Pittston
or Paris.
The suite of digital marketing
products and services available
at www.LocalMantra.com rang-
es from the basic designing a
website to the most up-to-
date, such as QR code market-
ing and reputation intelligence.
Just like the Internet, the offer-
ings will constantly expand to
help clients take advantage of
new opportunities, like those
offered by social media like
Facebook.
Small to mid-size businesses
are underserved, both here and
in other places, said Prashant
Shitut, president and CEO of
Impressions Media. For exam-
ple, a majority of the businesses
in communities such as ours do
not have even a basic website.
And those that do often lack
the time and expertise to take
advantage of the Internets im-
mense reach, or until now have
been unable to afford profes-
sional guidance, Shitut added.
Our digital marketing prod-
ucts are fairly priced for small
to mid-size businesses and very
effective in growing their busi-
ness. In many cases, they offer
them the opportunity to reach
clientele globally, Shitut said.
Steve Yelvington, who has
been creating digital products
for media companies since
1994, sees the need for such a
broad-based approach to serv-
ing advertising clients.
The Internet enables adver-
tisers to shape their own mar-
keting message, Yelvington
said, and if the newspaper isnt
there to help solve that problem
theyll solve it some other way.
Carmen Winters, director of
sales and marketing for Local
Mantra, agreed the time is
right. As the business commu-
nity grows digitally, it was good
for us to do the same.

other looming casualty of the In-
ternet age: business cards.
Ubiquitous as pinstripes, the 2-
by-3.5-inch pieces of card stock
have long been a staple in execu-
tive briefcases. Exchanging cards
helpstobreaktheiceandprovides
a quick reference for forgotten
names.
But to many young and Web-
savvypeoplewhoareaccustomed
to connecting digitally, the cards
areirrelevant, wasteful andjust
plainlame.
Diego Berdakin, the founder of
BeachMint Inc., a fast-growing
SantaMonica, Calif., e-commerce
site, hasraised$75millionfromin-
vestors without ever bothering to
print up a set. He doesnt see the
point.
If someone comes in to meet
me, wevealreadybeenconnected
through email, so it really doesnt
feel like a necessity inmy life, he
said. When I go into a meeting
and there are five bankers across
the table, they all hand me busi-
ness cards andthey all endupina
pile, ina shoe box somewhere.
U.S. salesof businesscardshave
been falling since the late 1990s,
according to IBISWorld Inc., an
Australianbusinessdatacompany
whose data go back to 1997. The
slide appears to be accelerating.
Last year printers posted revenue
of $211.1 million from the seg-
ment. Thats down 13 percent
from2006.
The weak economy has been a
factorinrecent years. But analysts
said printed business cards are
fast giving way to digital alterna-
tives. Smartphones, tablets and
social media are helping people
connect more quickly and seam-
lessly thanever before.
Its a steady decline, said
Caitlin Moldvay, a printing indus-
try analyst with IBISWorld. The
printing industry in general has
entered into a decline, so this is
part of that trend.
Many under-30 tech entrepre-
neurs see the paper rectangles as
an anachronism, so they are turn-
ing to digital options.
About 85 million people have a
professional network on Link-
edIn. Some 77 million smart-
phoneusershavedownloadedthe
Bump app, which allows them to
bump their phones together and
instantly exchange contact infor-
mation.
Others carry a personalized
quick-response code that smart-
phones can scan like a hyperlink.
And, of course, theres always
Facebook, email and digital busi-
ness cards.
If they do take a paper card,
some said they use a smartphone
app to snap a picture of it and in-
stantlydigitizethecards informa-
tion. Then they toss it into the
nearest trashcan.
Paper is not so appealing to
this generation, said Kit Yarrow,
chairwomanof thepsychologyde-
partment at Golden Gate Univer-
sityinSanFranciscowhohasstud-
ied Generation Y: the 20- to 30-
year-oldswhogrewupwiththeIn-
ternet. They absolutely gravi-
tate toward products that help
them do things really efficiently.
Its time-consuming to organize
business cards and not porta-
ble.
Some firms that do business
abroad, particularly in Asia, have
foundprintedbusinesscardstobe
crucial to corporate culture and
ritual there.
And although the number of
U.S. printshopsisdeclining, some
are thriving with the help of e-
commerceandinnovativenewde-
signs. Online printer MOO Inc.
specializes in minicards that
arehalf thestandardsizetoappeal
to eco-conscious entrepreneurs.
Others are peddling plastic busi-
ness cards equipped with flash
drives that companies can hand
out as promotional freebies.
But one of the most successful
firms, Vistaprint, keeps it relative-
ly simple. The Netherlands com-
pany allows customers to create
personalizedbusiness cards using
onlinetemplates or their owndig-
ital designs. Businesses on a bud-
get can get as many as 250 cards
free of charge.
The company posted sales of
$452.8 million in North America
last year, up 17.9 percent from
2010. Spokeswoman Wendy Ceb-
ula said that business cards ac-
count for about 30 percent of Vis-
taprints product revenueandthat
most of its customers are small
businesses.
Werejust not seeingthat elec-
tronic medium replace printed
business cards, she said. We see
themas complements as opposed
to substitutes.

Q: For thepast fiveyears, I have
suffered fromdepression. During
that time, I have been on and off
medication, but I have never told
my employer about this problem.
Duringmy recent performance
review, I received a needs im-
provement rating for the first
time, which was very upsetting.
Do you think I should tell my
manager about my depression?
A: Before deciding whether to
share this information, you
should carefully weigh the pros
and cons. If your employer is cov-
ered by the Americans with Dis-
abilities Act (ADA), then identi-
fying yourself as disabled may
provide increased legal protec-
tion and job security. If that is
your goal, you should contact the
EEOCto learn howthe ADAmay
apply in your situation.
On the other hand, revealing a
psychiatric diagnosis couldcause
management to view you differ-
ently. This may not be fair, or
even legal, but such labels can
nevertheless influence percep-
tions, consciously or uncon-
sciously. Therefore, you need to
consider how your particular
manager is likely to react to this
news.
But perhaps the most impor-
tant question is this: do you cur-
rently have the ability to make
the changes requested in your
performance review? If so, you
may be able to improve your rat-
ing without ever mentioning
your diagnosis.
Q: My boyfriend, Doug, was
recently promoted, but hes hav-
ing a lot of problems. He is now
supervising his former boss, who
is unhappy about being demoted.
On top of that, the assistant man-
ager applied for the job and re-
sents the fact that Doug was se-
lected. Their negative attitudes
have spread to other employees,
who are becoming insubordi-
nate.
Doug is expected to clean up
this department, which is a com-
plete mess. But he has no man-
agement experience, and these
toxic people seemtofeel they can
run all over him. He is feeling re-
allystressedout. Doyouhaveany
advice?
A: Poor Doug. The transition
to management is difficult
enough without having to super-
vise the staff fromhell. Tosurvive
this trial by fire, your boyfriend
needs a clear plan for change and
strong support fromhis manager.
First, Doug and his boss must
agree onspecific goals andexpec-
tations for the department. Once
the objectives are established,
the two of them should make a
joint presentation to the staff.
These rebellious folks needtoun-
derstand that Doug has the une-
quivocal backing of higher man-
agement.
Next, Doug must develop a
performance management strat-
egy for each staff member. Good
performers should be recognized
and appreciated, borderline em-
ployees must have a coaching
plan, and anyone who refuses to
get with the program needs to
go away.
Withthe most difficult employ-
ees, Doug should emphasize that
he wants everyone to succeed,
but the definition of success in-
cludes a helpful and cooperative
attitude. If some people continue
to be obstructive, then Doug
should request managements
support in facilitating their de-
parture.

of wearing the clothes, but the
symbolic meaning they hold for
people. Its the simultaneous
combinationof the posture or the
clothes and the symbolic mean-
ing of them that matters, he
says.
The findings lead to ques-
tions about whether wearing
the robes of a priest or a judge
could prompt people to act
more ethically, or whether put-
ting on a firefighters coat could
invoke courage. And what
about suits and ties? If you as-
sociate those clothes with pow-
er and confidence, its going to
have a huge impact, he says.
But for some people, wearing
suits makes them feel like a
phony, as Holden Caulfield
would say. So its really about
what the symbolic meaning of
the clothes is to the person.
What does this mean for lead-
ers? Much of the research on
clothing has focused on how
were perceived, rather than
how it affects our own behav-
ior, just as most dress codes
and workplace dress norms are
established to set up a certain
perception of the people who
work there, rather than to make
themfeel, think or performbet-
ter.
Clothes may not make the
man, the saying goes. But as the
authors write, they do hold a
strange power over their wear-
ers.

BP Wind Energy also is building the $220 mil-
lion Mehoopany Wind Farm in southern Wyom-
ing County. The wind farm the largest in the
state interms of energy capacity, accordingtothe
American Wind Energy Association will con-
sist of 88 three-armed wind turbines aligned on
mountainsides across four municipalities: 35 in
Noxen Township, 33 in Forkston Township, 18 in
Eaton Township and two in Mehoopany Town-
ship.
Wheninfull operation, theproject will generate
about 144 megawatts of electricity enough to
power 40,000homes.
The turbines shouldall be connectedto the en-
ergy grid at the Mehoopany substation near the
Procter and Gamble plant in Washington Town-
shipby years end.
The Production Tax Credit was most recently
approvedin2009as part of President BarackOba-
masstimuluseffort, althoughithaslargelybeenin
effect since1992.
Itprovides2.2centsperkilowatthourforutility-
scale wind power producers. With the subsidy,
saidJohnGraham, CEOof BPWindEnergy, wind-
generatedelectricity is competitive withthe least
expensive commonalternatives.
The cost of wind generation has fallen signifi-
cantly as wind turbines and wind farms have got-
ten bigger, manufacturing moves fromEurope to
the U.S. andthe technology improves. The cost is
closetobeingcompetitive, but it isstill afewyears
away, he said.
The tax credit, Graham said, costs the govern-
ment $3.5 billion a year and attracts $15 billion to
$20billionininvestment. Sixtypercentofwinden-
ergy components are now made in the U.S. We
thinkits a very goodreturn, he said.
Apparently so does the rest of the industry. It
haslaunchedintoafrenzyof productionthat Matt
Kaplan, of IHS Emerging Energy Research in
Cambridge, Mass., estimateswilladd12gigawatts
ofgeneratingcapacity, about20percentmorethan
the previous peakyear.
Theindustryis at theedgeof acliff right now,
Kaplansaid.
Graham said there might be a few instances
where windfarms wouldmake sense without the
taxcredit.
But, he said, it will be very few and far be-
tween.
Although wind prices have come down, the
shale gas drilling boom has dropped the price of
gasbelow$2.50perthousandcubicfeet. Coal isal-
soa natural low-cost competitor, Kaplansaid, but
there are enough environmental regulations to
slowthe openingof newplants.
If gas were to return to $6 or $8 per thousand
cubic feet, windwouldbe competitive, he said.
The disappearance of the tax credit would be a
serious blowto the industry, Kaplan said. Even if
market conditions change in five years, and the
price of natural gas rises in the U.S., the industry
couldnt afford to let its plants and infrastructure
sitidlewaitingforthemarket. Thereisstill growth
overseas, particularly inChina, he said, so the big
companieswontdisappear, buttheirU.S. capacity
will suffer.
Denmark-basedVestas has alreadywarnedthat
itwill layoff1,600workersatitsColoradofactories
if the tax credit is not renewed. Japan-based Mit-
subishi Heavy Industries has scrapped plans for a
$100 million plant in Arkansas. The American
Wind Energy Association said up to 37,000 jobs
wouldbe lost without the taxcredit.

Denise Sellers, vice president of adver-

growing emphasis on Internet marketing
has been both a challenge and an opportu-
nity for the companys media consultants,
who have unique relationships with their
customers built on years of service.
Were not necessarily just selling into
the print products; we have many prod-
ucts and services clients need to reach
existing and new customers, she said.
Were really big on finding the right thing
for them; what are they trying to do and
how can we help them do it.
She said the emphasis will be on build-
ing customized tools for each customer,
rather than offering prepackaged solu-
tions that either arent the best fit or re-
quire time-consuming modifications.
Shitut pointed out that local businesses
can use the Internet to find buyers any-
where in the world for their products, or
to stay in touch with nearby customers
through mobile and social media.
Theyre looking for new and exciting
ways to do business, to get the right cus-
tomers to come to them, Sellers added.
Whats good for customers should be
good for Impressions Media.
We as a company saw the need to do
this, Sellers said. The way to grow the
company is through online products and
services.
To expand its own reach, Impressions
Media is using the same tools it offers to
clients, such as search engine optimiza-
tion and social marketing.
Impressions Media is joining other
media organizations in this approach to
customer service and revenue enhance-
ment. Recently Gannett, the nations

DECLINING DEFAULTS
Good news for bond investors:
More companies are making good
on their bond payments. Last year,
Standard & Poors counted only 53
corporate defaults worldwide.
Thats down from 2010, when 81
corporate bond issuers defaulted.
Junk bond mutual funds have
been popular because they offer
higher yields than other kinds of
bonds, but keep in mind that the
trade off is higher risk. Among last
years defaulters that started the
year with a credit rating, all but one
were junk status. In 2011, 2 percent
of junk-grade issuers in the U.S.
defaulted. In emerging markets, the
default rate among junk-rated com-
panies was lower, at 0.6 percent.
BREAKING UP THE CROWD
Last year was tough for stock pickers.
Stocks increasingly moved in packs,
so the ones that active investors
identified as potential winners often
behaved the same as everything
else. The result was that 2011 was a
good year for index mutual funds: 84
percent of actively managed stock
mutual funds failed to beat the mar-
ket, according to S&P Indices.
So far this year, stocks are moving
more independently, Citi analysts
wrote in a recent report. Stocks in
emerging markets are behaving
even more independently than those
in developed markets. Further sepa-
ration between winners and losers
could mean better returns for stock
pickers.
BUBBLING BOURBON
After partying the last two years,
Brown Forman stock has a bit of a
hangover. The maker of Jack Daniels
whiskey and Finlandia vodka is up
1.5 percent this year, when the S&P
500 is up 11 percent. Financial ana-
lysts worry that higher costs for glass
and other products will hurt profits.
Citi analyst Vivien Azer is sticking
with the stock, pointing to the resur-
gence in popularity for bourbon.
Brown Formans bourbon revenue
rose 11 percent in the four weeks
through March 3 from a year earlier,
compared with 5 percent growth for
liquor revenue across the industry.
The companys flavored bourbons,
such as Jack Daniels Tennessee
Honey, are popular.

Bond investors get their returns
from two places: the yield that the
bond pays, plus any increase in
price for the bond itself. Bond pric-
es rise when interest rates fall, and
thats largely been the case for the
last 30 years. But rates are now so
low that investors may need to limit
their return expectations for many
bonds to just that first piece, the
yield, says Kevin Loome. He spe-
cializes in high-yield bonds, which
are also known as junk bonds.
They are issued by weaker compa-
nies but make up for it by paying
higher yields.
Theyre called high-yield bonds,
but the yields arent as high as
theyve been historically.
Depending on what category
youre looking at, theyre as low as
theyve ever been. On an absolute
yield basis, its obviously very rich.
The difference is the spread (or
how much more the bond yields
than a Treasury thats maturing at
the same time). Thats what we
look at in fixed income. On a
spread basis, I would characterize
high yield as fairly valued on a his-
torical basis.
So should investors be expect-
ing to get only the yield from
high-yield bonds, with no more
potential for rises in price?
In the high-yield bonds with higher
credit ratings, you pretty much are
only going to get the yield. In lower
rated ones, in the best case, you
might get the yield and a little bit of
spread compression. (Thats when
the difference in rates between a
junk bond and Treasury narrows,
and it can result in a rise in price
for the bond.)
Junk bonds offer higher yields
because of the higher default
risk. How worried should inves-
tors be?
The number of actual defaults
wont be that big. There are some
big 2006, 2007 vintage leveraged
buyout deals that make up a whole
lot of the high-yield market. A cou-
ple of those could default and
make the number lumpy. In a lot of
those situations, the expectation of
a default is largely priced in. De-
faults are like inflation. Its the ex-
pectation thats more important
than the actual number.
Whats a fair expectation for re-
turns this year?
High yield is a hot topic because
people are piling into it, but a de-
cent amount of total return has al-
ready happened. At the beginning
of the year, it looked fairly cheap.
Now its more fairly valued. Its not
like a table-thumping buy. Its just
kind of average relative value.
So what would you say to an in-
vestor considering moving out
of low-yielding savings ac-
counts and into high-yield
bonds?
The two are so different in risk. Im
assuming people are in that to pre-
serve capital. High yield is not the
place you want to go if you want to
just preserve capital. But if you
want to do the best in fixed income
over long periods of time, high
yield tends to do the best.

Its no surprise that
Apple is popular
with tech and large-cap stock
funds, but some managers also
see it as a value stock.
Percentage of mutual funds
that own Apple:
Stock mutual funds generally come in two flavors:
growth or value.
Growth funds look for companies whose revenue and
profits are rising quickly. Think Priceline.com. Its net
income doubled last year to $1 billion from a year earlier.
Value funds look for stocks that may appear underappreci-
ated or priced too low. Think Hewlett Packard, its stock
has moved downward since 2010.
But mutual funds sometimes buy the unexpected.
Consider Apple. Although many view it as a quintessential
growth stock, its also in nearly 20 percent of all large-cap
value stock funds.
Alook at howApple stock can be all things to all
investors:
Why growth mutual funds own Apple
Sales of iPhones and iPads more than
doubled last quarter,
compared with the same
period a year earlier.
Financial analysts
believe Apples
latest models
will ensure
strong sales
growth and fuel earnings growth of 26 percent this year.
Companies in the Standard & Poors 500 index are only
expected to post 9 percent earnings growth. Analysts at
William Blair project Apple will enjoy 18 percent annual
earnings growth over the long term.
Why value mutual funds own Apple
Apple is growing fast, but some value managers say the
market doesnt give it enough credit. Apple trades at 11
times its expected earnings per share in 2013, according
to Credit Suisse. Other large-cap tech stocks, such as
Google and Qualcomm, are trading at an average of 12
times. So Apple has a lower price-earnings ratio than its
peers, even though its earnings are growing faster. Apple
will also begin paying a $2.65 quarterly dividend later this
year, resulting in a yield of 1.8 percent. Other large-cap
tech stocks offer an average yield of 1.5 percent.

Screener
Some companies really depend on a strong economy.
Profits for raw material producers, for example, can fall sharp-
ly when the economy stalls and factories halt production. On
the flip side, profits for utilities will be steadier because cus-
tomers keep buying electricity.
Raw material producers and others
whose profit depend on the economys
strength are called cyclical stocks, and
J.P. Morgan strategist Thomas Lee sug-
gests focusing on them. The job market
is strengthening, and the unemployment
rate is at its lowest level in three years.
Cyclical stocks did worse than other stocks last year, but
Lee sees that as another reason to buy them. Stocks that are
laggards in the third year of a bull market tend to be leaders
in the fourth year, like they did in the bull markets that began
in 1990 and 2002.
This screen shows cyclical stocks that J.P. Morgan finan-
cial analysts say are set to rise.

Mortgage rates climb
The average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage rose
to 4.08 percent from 3.92 percent a week earlier. It
followed the trend of Treasury yields, which jumped
in the early part of last week. The 10-year notes
yield at one point rose to its highest level since late
October. But yields fell as the week progressed,
which could again put downward pressure on mort-
gage and other loan rates.

OS ANGELES Families canceling vacations. Fishermen
watching their profits burn up along with their boats gaso-
line. Drivers buying only a few gallons of gas at a time be-
cause they cant afford to fill the tank.
From all corners of the country, Ameri-
cans are irritatedthese days by record-high
fuel prices that have soared above $4 a gal-
loninsome states andcouldtop$5by sum-
mer. And the cost is becoming a political
issue just as the presidential cam-
paign kicks into high gear.
Some blame President Barack
Obama. Some just cite the gov-
ernment, while others believe
its the work of big, greedy oil
companies. No matter who
is responsible, almost ev-
eryone seems to
want the govern-
ment to do
something,
even if people
arent sure
what, exact-
ly, it should
or can do.
A Gallup
poll this
month
found 85 percent of U.S. adults believe

GET THERE early,
seating is limited.
While open to the
public, there are only
300 seats available and
by 9:30 a.m. each will
be occupied.
Later tonight, cer-
tainly by 5 a.m. Monday, Americans will
begin populating the two lines forming
on the steps fronting architect Cass
Gilberts masterpiece at 1 First St. NE in
Washington, D.C., hoping to gain en-
trance to the biggest show in town.
One line gets you inside for but a few
minutes. You can say you were there and
saw the actors before relinquishing the
chair to one that stood behind you, out-
side, for hours.
The other line requires the earliest
risers to be seated at exactly 9:30 a.m.
and to remain so, inside Americas tem-
ple of justice, for the entire 90-minute
presentation.
At 10 a.m. tomorrow morning the
gavel falls inside the U.S. Supreme Court
Building as oral arguments commence
on the constitutionality of The Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act.
The fate of Americas health insurance
reform, approved by Congress and
signed into law by President Barack
Obama on March 23, 2010, will be in the
hands of our nine justices on the Su-
preme Court.
The complex legal arguments over
three days and the courts fateful deci-
sion, perhaps by summers end, will have
far-reaching consequences. The PPACA
decision will join the handful of pivotal
Supreme Court cases simultaneously
studied by school children and the sub-
ject of scholarly lectures. Rarely does it
get any bigger than this.
At stake is the answer to this question:
How will our children and grandchildren
ever acquire the necessary health insur-
ance to access the finest medical care on
Earth?
At the center of the argument is the
individual mandate contained in PPA-
CA that requires everyone to have some
form of health coverage by 2014 to en-
large the insurance pool, level the risk,
stabilize premiums and eliminate the
need for those people with coverage to
pay for those with none.
The individual mandate that re-
quires everyone to be responsible for
having some kind of health insurance
was a conservative idea born more than
30 years ago to make the deadbeats
pay.
In 1984 Pennsylvania made the indi-
vidual mandate an integral part of its
auto insurance law. It requires that driv-
ers be responsible and buy insurance. It
is named The Motor Vehicle Financial
Responsibility Law.
Maybe youve heard the dreaded
words after having to pull over on the
side of a highway, May I see your li-
cense, registration and proof of insurance
please? Its the law, an individual man-
date, and it works.
When the president moved to include
their individual mandate in the Pa-
tient Protection and Affordable Care
Act, right-wing conservatives turned on
him and the concept they promoted.
Playing with the health insurance of
future generations, they labeled it Oba-
macare and called it unconstitutional.
In doing so, they place at risk all the
common-sense insurance reforms Oba-
ma enacted among others, health
insurers are prohibited from dropping
you because youre ill; there can be no
lifetime limit on health insurance bene-
fits; children also may not be denied
coverage due to a pre-existing condition;
your graduate son or daughter can now
remain covered under your insurance
until they are able to obtain their own.
The Supreme Court will decide.
Elements of six cases have made it
through the brackets of the appellate
court division. Three have upheld the
constitutionality of the individual man-
date. Two found the mandate to be
unconstitutional but upheld all the presi-
dents other reforms. Only one appeals
court threw out the individual mandate
and the rest of the law with it. Florida.
Its Madness, its March, and Ive got
our conservative Supreme Court uphold-
ing the individual mandate in the
Finals.

WHATS IN a name?
Most of us, perhaps
regrettably, do not get
to select our own
names and are sad-
dled with our parents
projections of what
we might be. It is
entertaining to consider what name we
might select for ourselves and what
that name might suggest about us. Mitt
Romney and Rick Santorum recently
got this chance when they selected
their Secret Service code names.
Customarily, presidents are assigned
a code name, but candidates get to
choose their own. Romney picked
Javelin and Santorum picked Pe-
trus, both telling titles, though even
the least cynical among us can appre-
ciate the ironies attached to each.
Theres some discussion about
whether Romneys refers to a vehicle or
a weapon, but either would tie into his
biography. The Secret Service offered
Javelin for that reason, according to
Romneys campaign. Javelin was the
name of a pony car built between
1967 and 1974 by American Motors
Corp., which was once run by George
Romney. A two-door hardtop, it was
the sort of car one might expect to
appeal to guys who liked to go fast
or who saw themselves as kinda cool in
a slicked-back hair kind of way. It was,
in fact, one of Romneys first cars.
Alternatively, the code name could
refer to the track-and-field event and
evoke the Olympics, which Romney
famously guided from red to black ink.
The javelin otherwise is no wimps
weapon, if one were inclined to em-
brace its utilitarian value, and dates
back to Paleolithic times. Whichever
the case, Romneys self-image is clearly
tied to a successful business model,
with a hint of Olympian physicality and
a symbolic representation of strength,
speed and purpose.
Ironically, Romney, though not an
athlete, does look as though he stepped
down from Mount Olympus.
Santorum is of an entirely different
order. To those who know him, his
selection of Petrus is perfect, again
tinged with irony. In Latin, petrus
means rock and also is associated with
Saint Peter, the first pope of the Cathol-
ic Church. Jesus said to Peter, Upon
this rock I will build my church, and
so Peter did. St. Peters Basilica, the
centerpiece of The Vatican, is built
upon the bones of St. Peter.
To behold the famous piazza is to
consider Peters life and how a man like
Santorum might identify with it. In the
middle of the square, which really
isnt a square, is an enormous obelisk
that was brought to Rome by Emperor
Caligula in 37 A.D. Originally placed
south of the basilica in what is known
as the Circus of Nero, it was conceiv-
ably the last thing Peter saw as he died
crucified upside down, as was his
wish. Peter said he wasnt worthy to be
crucified in the same way as the Son of
God.
All of this and more are contained in
the name Petrus and in the self-
image of one Rick Santorum. Grandi-
ose? Or self-sacrificing, humble and
willing to submit to public humiliation
and agony?
The truth might be somewhere in
between. When it comes to his princi-
ples, Santorum is a rock. Or rather, a
boulder: solid, sturdy, unmovable.
Whether you agree with those princi-
ples, one cant help admiring his cour-
age in the face of unyieldingly cruel
contempt from some quarters. In de-
fense of human life from conception,
Santorum is willing to step into the
lions den. Whether his inflexibility on
certain core beliefs is religious fanat-
icism or mere stubbornness or rep-
resents a steely spine many find lack-
ing in todays arena is a matter for
voters to discern.
A name may be a name may be a
name, but the differences between a
fast car and a sharp spear and a
brave, martyred pope are not small.
Republicans considering their nominee
to wage battle against President Oba-
ma would do well to choose their can-
didate wisely. Will it be fast, sleek and
sharp? Or pious, brave and steadfast?

WASHINGTON Its a good thing
the GOP presidential race slows down
from here: The candidates are even
more tired than the voters. And, boy,
does it show.
Mitt Romney, who scaled back his
public schedule this week to get a
break, has slept in his own bed just
twice since Christmas. Rick Santo-
rums been making the kind of flubs
that come with exhaustion. Newt Gin-
grich got caught sleeping on camera a
fewweeks back, and looked like he just
might topple over.
And then theres 76-year-old Ron
Paul, last in the delegate hunt. The ol-
dest candidate in the race, Paul is run-
ning a campaign thats a study in Ever.
So. Slow. Pacing.
Maybe thats why he seemedso chip-
per when he turned up on the The To-
night Show this week, chatting about
an exercise regimen that helps my
brain relax while the other candidates
werescramblingfor everylast voteinIl-
linois.
Does it matter if the candidates are
exhausted? Oh, yeah.
Thats whenthey make mistakes, get
testyandloseperspective. At best, they
may just seem to be off stride, muffing
key lines and sounding, well, tired.
That can hurt, especially in an elec-
tion year when the president is able to
cruise intothe general electionwithout
a primary fight. Barack Obamas still
got a country to run, and hes already
scheduling lots of fundraisers, but its
nothing like the pace of his opponents.
In anoddsort of way, there canbe an
upside to the brutal grind of campaign
life.

to sort out the very toughest can-

the world.
It made me a better person,
she said.
Small comfort toRomney, San-
torum and Gingrich, who have
been slogging through the week-
in, week-out grind of primaries,
fundraisers, town halls, inter-
views, hotel rooms and airplane
food.
I woke up this morning and
found I did not have any shirts
that would be appropriate for a
fundraiser, so I had to wash my
shirt out in the sink, Romney
confessed Tuesday, in an inter-
viewsandwiched between a Chi-
cago fundraiser and an Illinois
victory party. And then I
thought, How am I going to get

lar is finally dry.
Dee Dee Myers, Bill Clintons
press secretary during the 1992
campaign and then at the White
House, recalls that Clinton
made all of his worst mistakes
when he was tired.
But when every primary feels
like a single-elimination contest,
youcant affordto take a day off,
she said.
Overall, Myers said, Romney
seems tobe showingthe stamina
of theEnergizer bunny. But she
saidtheRepublicansalsoseemto
be suffering froma lack of mess-
age discipline as they dart from
oneevent tothenext without tak-
ingtime tothinkthroughexactly
what they want voters to hear.
Thats probably a function of
getting tired, she said.
After Saturdays voting in
Louisiana, the candidates get a
10-day break before Washington,
D.C., Maryland and Wisconsin
hold primaries on April 3. Thats
a welcome respite, but there still
will be ads to cut, supporters to
cajole, money to raise and all the
rest.
Thelighter scheduleiscoming
none too soon.
Santorum, Romneys chief ri-
val, has had to backpedal on a se-
ries of ill-thought remarks in re-
cent days, promptinghimtowish
for a do-over after saying the
unemployment rate wasnt a cru-
cial issue to his campaign.
At the age of 53, with seven

tween his two jobs, at the Univer-

Falls and at a hotel in Vermillion,
S.D., blames the price spike on
threats from Iran to cut off oil
shipments through the Strait of
Hormuz.
I thinkthecandidates running
for president need to take a good
hard look at that and determine
what their foreign policy is going
to be for countries that threaten
to do that, he said. Its going to
affect every single citizen in the
United States.
Still, he believes the president
has little control over gas prices,
adding that it is commodities
traders who really dictate prices.
Trucker Cory Nissen of Ruther
Glen, Va., agrees.
The president is nothing but a
fall guy, Nissen said as he took a
break fromhis rig at a stop inWil-
ton, N.Y., earlier this week.
Nissen, whois paidbythemile,
said he has seen his paychecks
shrink because his employer has
cut back delivery runs in reaction
to the rising cost of fuel. It needs
to change and change quick, he
said. I got bills I got to pay, and
half the time I cant pay them.
On the presidential campaign
trail, Mitt Romney called on Oba-
ma last weekend to fire his ener-
gy secretary, interior secretary
and Environmental Protection
Agency administrator, dubbing
them the gas-hike trio. Fellow
RepublicanNewt Gingrichprom-
isedtoroll the price of gas backto
$2.50 a gallon if he is elected.
Obama mocked Gingrichs
promise, saying, They start act-
ing like theyve got a magic wand
and will give you cheap gas forev-
er if you elect us.
Amy Lis of Buffalo, N.Y., and
her boyfriend canceled their va-
cation to Florida this spring in fa-
vor of a three-hour drive toCleve-
land for an overnight stay and a
visit to the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame. Even that trip will cost
more than $100 in gas.
Its more than our hotel, she
said as she filled up her boy-
friends Ford Ranger pickup.
In truth, there is not a lot the
president and Congress can do in
the short termto push down gas-
oline prices.
They are tied to oil prices,
which have climbed in recent
months, pushed by increased
consumption from developing
nations in Asia, Latin America
and the Middle East and by con-
cerns about supply disruptions in
Iran and elsewhere.
Mike Siroub, who has operated
a Union Oil station in the Los An-
geles suburb of Arcadia for 25
years, said customers who used
to fill up their tanks now put in
just $10 or $20 at a time, telling
him that thats all they can afford
and that they are driving less or
using more fuel-efficient cars.
He himself has joined them.
I used to have a car with a big
V-8 engine, he said. I traded it
for a four-cylinder Toyota Cam-
ry.
Among the things the govern-
ment can do to bring relief to
drivers is reduce gasoline taxes
or push to get more fuel-efficient
cars on the road. The first new
fuel standards since 1990 are just
now going into effect, and the
U.S. auto fleet is more efficient
than ever.
People are still feelingthe pain.
When I go out to change the
prices, they honk their horns and
yell at me, said Siroub whose
stations cheapest grade of gas,
regular unleaded, was selling for
$4.44 a gallon earlier this week.
The other day one person even
gave me the finger.
In New York City, some cab
drivers say the high cost of gas is
prompting them to race through
the streets of Manhattan even
more recklessly than usual to
pickupmore passengers duringa
shift.
Whenthegas is up, themoney
you make is going down, said
Less Sylla, who paid $4.17 a gal-
lon earlier this week. You see a
lot of drivers, theyre driving,
boom-boom-boom, because the
lease is too high and its working
on their minds. So thats why
they go like that, and it causes a
lot of accidents.
Sylla, who said he will vote for
Obama, blames greedy oil com-
panies.
In Anchorage, Alaska, general
contractor W.M. Lewis said he
has had to raise his prices to keep
his half-dozen trucks running. It
affects your bottom-line pricing,
he said as he put $90.13 worth of
gas, at $4.25 a gallon, into one of
those trucks.
Milton Walker Jr., whose Loui-
siana tour company takes vaca-
tioners on boat rides through the
alligator-infested swamps, said
he raised prices last year because
of the increased cost of fuel and
will do it again if gas hits $5 a gal-
lon. He blames the Federal Re-
serve, saying it hasnt kept infla-
tion in check.
I dont think it matters whos
president, he said.

Editorial
The problem with the Senate bill
is that it doesnt address the
issue of rising gas prices and
energy.
John Boehner
The House speaker assessed why many Republican lawmakers wont
get behind proposed transportation legislation. The House and Senate
are heading toward a showdown this week that could result in a cutoff
of federal highway and transit aid to states just as the spring
construction season starts.
DURING HIS campaign,
President Barack Obama
pledged a revitalized effort
in Afghanistan. That was
the war that mattered, he
said; President George W.
Bush took his eye off the
ball when he invaded Iraq.
But Obamas handling of the war has
shown that to him it had less to do with
national security than with politics. Initially,
the war provided a way to criticize the out-
going administration. But after Obama
became president, Afghanistan was no long-
er a rhetorical tool. It was a problem. The
New York Times recently reported that
many in the White House believe the U.S.
mission has now reached the point of di-
minishing returns.
After more than 10 years, it might well be
time to cut our losses especially after the
disastrous events of recent weeks: a video
purportedly showing Marines urinating on
Taliban corpses; the lethal riots that erupted
after the mistaken burning of Qurans, and
then the rampage by an Army staff sergeant,
accused of killing 16 civilians as they slept.
Adding to the sense of disarray, Afghan
President Hamid Karzai now demands that
coalition troops leave the villages and pull
back to their bases. A great deal of trust has
been lost on both sides.
Well never know whether more was
achievable in Afghanistan. Obamas hand-
ling of the war was freighted with ambiv-
alence from the beginning, and that contrib-
uted to a muddled policy that pleased no
one. One sign came earlier this month,
when his war policy drew fire not only from
the conservative Wall Street Journal, but
also from the normally friendly Washington
Post.
Obama might have promised a renewed
effort in Afghanistan, The Post said, but his
actions have sent the opposite message. He
terminated regular communication with
Karzai. He imposed arbitrary deadlines for
troop withdrawals. Karzai was publicly
disparaged by administration officials. Oba-
ma even has insisted on the withdrawal of
the surge troops by this summer before
the end of this years fighting season.
Admittedly, the mission might have been
impossible, if you define it as an effort to
lend some sort of political coherence to a
country divided not only by forbidding ter-
rain, but also by tribal and ethnic hatreds.
The whole enterprise evokes a troubling
parallel with Vietnam. In both wars, the
enemy was sustained by cross-border sanc-
tuaries and infiltration.
The Taliban can withdraw to bases in
Pakistan and fight at a time and place of its
choosing, just as the North Vietnamese
Army relied on bases in Laos and Cambodia.
If you cant or wont stop the infiltration, you
cant gain the initiative.
In Afghanistan, you have the additional
challenges of corruption and the drug trade,
the latter of which is a major prop for the
Taliban. If you dont have a strategy for
those problems, asserts John Pike of Glob-
alsecurity.org, you dont have a strategy for
Afghanistan.
The question is what happens after con-
ventional U.S. combat units withdraw.
However you feel about the Nixon admin-
istration, its diplomacy was brilliant. In spite
of the Vietnam debacle, Nixons opening to
China allowed the United States to emerge
from the war with its global strategic posi-
tion enhanced.
With Afghanistan, the picture is more
worrisome. If U.S. conventional combat
units transfer the lead role in security to the
Afghans next year as currently planned
that will likely create a power vacuum into
which the Taliban will flow.
After 2014, several thousand special-ops
troops, backed up by air power and drone
strikes, might keep the enemy pruned
back, as Pike puts it. With the top lead-
ership of al-Qaida decimated, the threat
from that quarter is diminished.
Such an approach might be enough, Pike
adds dryly, to preserve Karzai as mayor of
downtown Kabul.
Its a regrettable scenario, but after so
many years with so little progress, one is
forced to agree that the point of diminish-
ing returns is an apt description of where
we stand today.
Its become a war of diminishing returns in Afghanistan

COMMENTARY
E . T H O M A S M C C L A N A H A N
Obama might have promised a renewed
effort in Afghanistan, The Post said, but
his actions have sent the opposite
message. He terminated regular
communication with Karzai. He imposed
arbitrary deadlines for troop withdrawals.
THE U.S. economy is
showing signs of broad
improvement, marked by
growing demand and
rising production.
Despite a net increase
of 227,000 jobs last
month, employment remains a concern,
however, with the U.S. unemployment
rate still at 8.3 percent and large numbers
of long-term unemployed. But there are
signs of improvement.
One of the most striking numbers is the
increase in the average manufacturing
workweek, which reached 41.8 hours in
January and 41.9 in February.
Such long workweeks are rare, even
during expansions. During the 2001-2007
expansion, for example, the workweek
never exceeded 41.4 hours. The last time
the average manufacturing workweek was
this long was in the boom year of 1998,
when the unemployment rate was below 5
percent, which made hiring additional
workers difficult.
The length of the average workweek
also increased in other industries in Janu-
ary, reaching or exceeding pre-recession
levels in mining and logging, construc-
tion, transportation and warehousing,
utilities, wholesale trade, professional
and business services and financial activ-
ities.
The lengthening workweek suggests
that businesses, while ramping up produc-
tion, are increasing the hours of existing
workers, rather than hiring new ones.
Overtime hours, which are measured only
for the manufacturing sector, rose to 4.2
hours per week in January and 4.3 hours
in February. This high level of overtime
has been exceeded only twice since the
data began to be collected in 1956: during
the boom periods of 1993 to 2000 and
from 2004 to 2006.
During those periods, low unemploy-
ment made hiring additional workers
difficult. But the same logic does not
apply to the current situation, with unem-
ployment at 8.3 percent.
Overtime pay usually clocks in at time-
and-a-half or double-time, so the costs
mount up. If demand and production
levels continue to grow, companies even-
tually will need to hire additional employ-
ees. Businesses already appear to be ap-
proaching this threshold.
The data show that business and con-
sumer demand are accelerating and con-
sumers are expanding their borrowing,
with outstanding consumer credit rising
more than 1.5 percent in the last three
months of 2011. This growth is character-
istic of normal, non-crisis times.
Most of this borrowing comes in the
form of non-revolving consumer credit,
which includes car and student loans, but
not mortgages. This indicates that people
are planning purchases and borrowing
purposefully. Revolving credit, which is
extended mainly via credit cards, is not
expanding nearly as quickly.
The willingness of consumers to incur
debt in order to increase spending sug-
gests that people are becoming more
confident about the future. They are start-
ing to believe in the recovery.
Direct evidence of this comes from the
Conference Boards Consumer Confidence
Index. According to figures released on
Feb. 28, the index rose to 70.8, on a scale
of 100, up from 61.5 in January. In the
Conference Boards news release, Director
Lynn Franco argued that ... despite fur-
ther increases in gas prices, (consumers)
are more optimistic about the short-term
outlook for the economy, job prospects,
and their financial situation.
Recent trends in labor costs help sup-
port this growing optimism.
Companies can hire new employees and
turn a profit only when output grows
faster than total labor costs. This is the
situation that exists today.
The number of U.S. workers is now so
low, and the productivity of U.S. workers
is so high, that more businesses can afford
to take on new employees, while cutting
back on overtime expenses.
This is what has happened in the past
when the average workweek and overtime
hours reached present levels.
However, a number of factors could
upset this historical pattern. Changes in
production technology and regulations on
employee benefits, such as the new health
care law, could alter companies calcula-
tions of whether, and when, to hire addi-
tional workers.
But if historical patterns hold, we
should see an expansion of hiring in the
near future.
If history repeats itself, more hiring is on the horizon

COMMENTARY
P O L I N A V L A S E N K O
R
OBERT MELLOW,
the ex-state senator
who is expected to
plead guilty next
month to public corruption
charges, recently resigned
from the boards of two organi-
zations paid posts for which
he never shouldhave beencon-
sidered.
Mellow, 70, of Peckville, offi-
cially severed ties last week
with Blue Cross of
Northeastern Penn-
sylvania, a major
health insurance
provider based in
Wilkes-Barre.
Earlier this
month he stepped
away from Penseco
Financial Services
Corp. and its subsid-
iary, Penn Security Bank and
Trust Co. For his service to the
bank in 2010, the most recent
year for which records are
available, the then-senator col-
lected $30,750.
Residents are right to ques-
tion why a lawmaker paid with
their tax dollars purportedly to
make decisions with their best
interests in mind also earned a
healthy sum to do business on
behalf of other entities with
narrower andpotentiallycon-
flicting interests. While legal,
it reeks.
Responsible organizations
need to re-examine their proc-
esses and motivations for
pickingboardmembers, partic-
ularly in light of the ongoing,
federal corruption crackdown
in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
Do the regions many boards
truly value the insights of Har-
risburg lawmakers? Or are the
corporations merely trying to
curry favor to nab potential
state grants and possibly gain
an ally during legislative de-
bates that affect their oper-
ations?
Ethically, shouldnt boards
sidestep any negative public
perceptions simply by not seat-
ing elected officials at the ta-
ble?
Practically, shouldnt a law
be passed to prevent it?
Mellow re-
tired in Novem-
ber 2010, after
40 years in the
Senate. Investi-
gators allege
that he illegally
used Senate
staffers to per-
form political
campaign and
fundraisingworkonstate time.
Under the guise of the Friends
for Bob Mellow organization,
prosecutors say, the scheme
brought in hundreds of thou-
sands of dollars for Mellows
campaign and those of fellow
Democrats.
One cant help but wonder if
some of those donations result-
ed from friends of Bob Mel-
low that he acquiredby way of
rubbingelbows inboardrooms.
Neither lawmakers nor any-
one else should treat board
memberships like anextension
of the Rotary Club, where pro-
fessionals sometimes seek to
make business contacts for
their own benefit. Sadly, thats
a distinction not enough peo-
ple make upon becoming a di-
rector.
Mellows situation shows
why Pennsylvania needs toban
lawmakers from accepting
board positions.
OUR OPINION: ETHICS
Boards no place
for lawmakers
Responsible
organizations need
to re-examine their
processes and

QUOTE OF THE DAY
A
LL EYES WILL be on
the U.S. Supreme
Court when justices
convene Monday to
hear arguments on President
Barack Obamas health reform
law and specifically the provi-
sion requiring everyone to have
a health insurance policy.
Our hope is the justices will
ruleinfavor of themandate. It is
a modest idea, first proposedby
Republicans and based on the
principle that healthy consum-
ers need to be in the insurance
pool sothat companies canfully
pay for the care of sick people.
The mandate would affect
fewer than 10 percent of Amer-
icans thosewhoarent insured
by an employer or covered by a
government program. Wearent
losing sleep over the prospect
that Washington will next re-
quire us toeat broccoli, as some
opponents suggest.
It is past time for policymak-
ers to ensure the health reform
law works. The courts affirma-
tion of the insurance mandate
would be a significant step in
that direction.
As the court date nears, it is
helpful to remember why a
Democratic Congress took up
comprehensivehealthreformin
2009.
Exorbitant medical costs and
lack of access to insurance were
forcingfamiliesintobankruptcy
and causing doctors, hospitals
and state and federal govern-
ments to spend millions of dol-
lars on uncompensated care.
Abuses by insurance firms were
commonplace. Experts of all
political persuasions were
sounding alarms about a sys-
tem riddled with waste and in-
efficiency.
The Affordable Care Act has
made headway in addressing
those problems.
If the court upholds the indi-
vidual mandate, the next step
will be state-based marketplac-
es. Those and other measures
will result in a fairer, more ac-
cessible health care system.

Writer disputes
diversity criticisms
I
am writing concerning the
criticisms made by Arthur
Breese, co-chairman of the
Luzerne County Diversity
Commission, against Wilkes-
Barre Mayor Leighton regard-
ing diversity and racism in
Wilkes-Barre. Mr. Breese ap-
parently believes the mayor is
not embracing diversity
enough and is, as he stated,
only going through the mo-
tions.
I would like Mr. Breese to
explain this to the people of
Luzerne County: What are the
benefits of diversity? It is
often said that diversity is
our strength. But exactly how
and why is never explained by
those who say it. What bene-
fits have the white American
majority received from the
influx of blacks, Hispanics,
Muslims and other minorities
moving to Northeastern Penn-
sylvania?
In reference to the city
zoning hearing board, Mr.
Breese stated, There was no
one on that board who repre-
sented our community. What
community exactly is our
community? Obviously it is
not in reference to the com-
munity of Wilkes-Barre and its
residents overall, but specifi-
cally to the black community.
So, how are the needs of the
black community regarding
zoning issues different from
the rest of the Wilkes-Barre
community and how does that
justify placement on the board
simply because they are black?
By promoting diversity
and inclusiveness, he is
simply promoting a policy of
discrimination. If it is wrong
to exclude someone and
discriminate against them
based upon a minority status,
then it is as equally wrong to
include someone based
upon that same status.

Fundraise to save
Hotel Sterling
O
ver the years there have
been fundraising events to
support much-needed
venues. Why not hold events
to save the former Hotel Ster-
ling in Wilkes-Barre without
levying additional costs on
taxpayers?
Until a developer is found,
why cant the building be
mothballed? The building can
be returned as a respectable
hotel and convention center.
To build a box-type, modern
building at the entrance of the
city would not entice me to
patronize Wilkes-Barre. Com-
pared to what the city looked
like 25 years ago, with its
many small shops, I would not
be encouraged to shop there
today.
Boscovs and the former
Comerford Theatre seem to
be all that exists of the past.
Now, it is all night clubs, res-
taurants and pizza parlors.
There is nothing for the mid-
dle class or elderly.
I feel those people who are
in favor of getting rid of it
want to cover up evidence of
the true stability of the hotel,
and the new Luzerne County
Council does not want to
admit the building is salvage-
able.
I would like to see receipts
showing how CityVest spent
the $6 million in taxpayers
money. If CityVest spent the
money to raze the buildings
adjacent to the Sterling, then
those properties belong to the
county taxpayers no matter
whose name is on the deeds.
Restoring the Hotel Sterling
would be an asset to the
Wyoming Valley and city,
because it would not only be a
taxable property, but also
would generate jobs and
much-needed revenue for
Wilkes-Barre and vicinity.
There might be some busi-
ness owners who would resent
the competition, but competi-
tion is good for the economy.

SEND US YOUR OPINION
THE PROTECTION of religious free-
dom in the First Amendment has had a
checkered history from the reluctant
writing of the phrases to the actual
history of the application of the non-
establishment and free exercise hold-
ings. The final casting of the document
by James Madison reads, Congress
shall make no law respecting an estab-
lishment of religion or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof.
In The Lustre of Our Country: the
American Experience of Religious
Freedom, John Noonan of the Federal
Court of Appeals in the 9th Circuit
presents an account of the writing, the
application and the understanding of
the role of religious freedom in our
history. Noonan recounts what he
called the five great crusades some
successful, some not so and some un-
finished launched in the name of
religion. They are the abolition of these
five things: slavery, polygamy, the use
of alcohol, discrimination based on
race and abortion.
Noonan called them religious cru-
sades for a number of reasons, among
them: they were led by church leaders;
they used religious signs and symbols;
they quoted Scripture; and they made
prayer integral to their action. Noonan
cites the campaign to abolish slavery as
the prototype of all these campaigns. In
these five movements the purpose of
religious freedom is the free exercise of
belief to influence society and to pro-
duce political results. Study of the
history of these movements reveals
that they were hard-fought among
vociferous opponents. Study also re-
veals that they influenced the character
of this nation.
The current issue before the nation
is an issue of the exercise of religious
freedom. That the issue is tied to con-
traception, sterilization and pharmac-
ological abortion is unfortunate, but
predictable. This juxtaposition creates
the fiction that what is at hand is a
conflict between the religious freedom
of a minority group and the rising
rights of a majority group.
The minority, although a significant
minority, is the Catholic Church and its
affiliate institutions Catholic hospi-
tals, Catholic charities and Catholic
universities. Members of the rising and
significant majority group include
some women who, in order to be guar-
anteed a right to participate in the
goods of society, assert the need to
exercise absolute control over repro-
duction. From this claim follows the
claim of the putative right of women to
free contraception, sterilization and
pharmacological abortion.
Less than 60 years ago the right to
contraception was claimed as a privacy
right a negative right to be protected
from government intrusion. In the
current Health and Human Services
regulations, contraception, sterilization
and pharmacological abortion become
positive rights that the government
requires someone to fund. Just as there
is no such thing as a free lunch, there
is no such thing as free contracep-
tives. Revenue neutral is not the same
thing as free. Someone must pay. So
among the conscripted payers might be
Catholic affiliates or, at a step back, the
insurers of Catholic affiliates or some
other private entity or insurer regard-
less of its beliefs.
The issue of artificial contraception
is a Catholic issue, and the church has
a right to religious freedom in the
exercise of that belief and to be free
of government intrusion in that hold-
ing in its institutions. Furthermore,
Catholic institutions have a legitimate
expectation that those who seek em-
ployment in Catholic institutions will
understand and respect the tradition,
even if they do not follow the practices.
This is not to say that the questions
end there either for Catholics or for the
nation. There are two sets of issues to
be faced. The first set is internal to the
Catholic Church and the second set
must be placed in the culture at large.
The battle will be hard fought, long
fought and efforts to suppress the pub-
lic nature of the debate must be resist-
ed.
The Catholic affiliates hospitals,
charities and universities rightly
claim their work as integral to the work
of the church. Caring for the sick, feed-
ing the hungry, clothing and housing
those in need and educating the young
are Gospel-inspired works that the
institutions extend to Catholics as well
as to those who are not Catholic and
which serve the good of the nation.
The material needs of the vulnerable
populations of this nation cannot be
served by private charity alone. And
the needs of the vulnerable should not
be served by public funding alone.
We, as individuals, not just we as
citizens and taxpayers, are the keepers
of our brothers and sisters. Both sub-
sidiarity and solidarity require the
development of appropriate partner-
ships of public and private support.
As a practical measure, when the
budget of any Catholic affiliate in any
diocese reports an income of more than
50 percent from governmental entities,
then a tipping point has been reached
in the identity of that affiliate. As a
political measure, when a religious
entity is denied funding because of the
identity and operative principles of the
religious entity, then that is a matter of
the denial of free exercise.
From the founding of our nation to
the present, the free exercise of religion
what Madison called the luster of
our country has been marked by
struggle. The struggle has been diffi-
cult but worthwhile.
The current debate calls forth public
arguments in civil discourse. We must
have the courage of our forbears and be
so engaged.
Nation must not give up the struggle to maintain religious freedom

logic doesnt
add up.
Its members
say govern-
ment cant
create jobs.
Yet, they
wont pass a highway bill be-
cause it will create jobs. (And
thus make their great devil,
President Obama, look good.)
Credit U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta,
R-Hazleton, for supporting the
highway bill, which would put
money into about 11,000 compa-
nies to rebuild infrastructure.
The notion that government
is not a vital part of economic
growth is the result of 30 years
of sloganeering. Just say it
enough and it becomes true, the
first rule of Madison Avenue,
the Mad Men plan of politics.
Strategists of the right appeal
to the low-information voter.
Abandoning all nuance, they
sell fear and seek a starve the
beast strategy against what the
GOPs original president, Abe
Lincoln, called a government of
the people, by the people, for
the people.
The conservative drumbeat
has moved both parties to the
right, but it is driving the GOP
off a cliff. When it finally does
crash, the GOP will move closer
to its more progressive roots.
The campaign of Jon Hunts-
man was smart, introducing a
moderate voice this year in the
expectation of a more reason-
able GOP by 2016.
For now, however, the GOP is
heading full steam ahead to the
far reaches of the right-wing
universe. The budget proposal
by U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis.,
supported by all GOP presi-
dential candidates, would make
Milton Friedman wince.
The mantra is to privatize
everything, even the post office.
As Luzerne County learned the
hard way, privatizing govern-
ment, such as its juvenile penal
system, is not always a good
idea. It can encourage corrup-
tion by inserting a profit motive.
In some states, such as Arizona,
the entire prison system is
privately owned, making it
profitable to pass laws that
create criminals, the real motive
behind Arizonas draconian
immigration laws.
The U.S. military, after Bush-
Cheney, is flush with private
companies and the larceny has
been in the billions. The mil-
itary, for example, no longer
defends U.S. embassies or deliv-
ers its own mail, chores con-
tracted instead to companies
such as Wackenhut and Halli-
burton, not exactly paragons of
propriety.
The GOP is not the Repub-
lican Party of our fathers. It is
not even the party of Ronald
Reagan.
Last March I met his son,
Ron, a personable man. How
would your father do in a pri-
mary these days? I asked. He
wouldnt make the cut, said
Reagan. Hed be too liberal.
Todays GOP wants to drill
and frack on public lands origi-
nally protected by our first
progressive president, Repub-
lican Teddy Roosevelt, more
than a century ago.
This year the pressure on
Republican presidential candi-
date Mitt Romney to run to the
right is making his campaign a
panderthon to extremism. In
1966, his beloved father, George
Romney, was the great hope of
Republican moderates. Today,
Romney is running as Genghis
Khan.
The Southern Strategy
employed by Richard Nixon to
entice Southern Democrats to
the GOP in the 70s has come
full circle. The GOP today is a
Southern party.
Boy, how things change. In
1960, Eisenhower warned
against militarization. Today,
our defense spending is more
than the rest of the worlds
combined. Prescott Bush, patri-
arch of the Bush dynasty, once
served as head of fundraising
for Planned Parenthood and
was chair of the Connecticut
chapter of the United Negro
College Fund. In 1966, George
Romney, who bravely opposed
the Vietnam War, marched with
civil rights protesters in Detroit.
In 1960, Pennsylvanians elected
both John Kennedy as president
and moderate Republican Bill
Scranton as governor in the
same election. In 1968, Nelson
Rockefeller ran for president as
a liberal and might have won
if he didnt divorce his wife.
Richard Nixon created the Envi-
ronmental Protection Agency
and supported universal health
care. In 1975, Gerald Ford had
price controls on oil companies,
unimaginable today.
Supreme Court Justice John
Paul Stevens, who wrote the
dissenting opinions on Bush vs.
Gore and Citizens United, pro-
vides the starkest contrast be-
tween the GOP of yesterday and
today. Appointed as a conserva-
tive by the Ford administration
in 1975, he was considered a
liberal at his retirement in
2010.
When asked why he had
changed, Justice Stevens re-
sponded simply, I didnt
change, the country did.
GOP has lost touch
with progressive past

ANOTHER VIEW
A photograph by Don Carey and
words by Mark E. Jones
ONCE UPON
a time, I lived
for books. I
was the kind
who haunted
bookstores,
lined the walls
with my cher-
ished plunder, piled teetering
stacks by the bedside.
Isnt it shocking, then, how
easily love turns to hate? Im
talking to you, my burden-
some old friends, loitering
self-importantly on shelves
and tables all over the house.
Your crumbling pages and
dusty bindings, the difficulty
of keeping you organized, the
way you walk off with any
casual visitor and never come
home, the impossibility of
finding a passage in any of
you, the leaden boxes I had to
schlep whenever we moved,
my waning need to impress
people with your fat bindings
mounted like moosehunting
trophies on the wall guys,
Im over you now. The pre-
tense of permanence about
you is as flimsy as the cheap
glue and paper from which
youre made nowadays.
Ive felt this way for a while,
secretly, ever since I started
reading on an iPad. My wife
disagreed until she got a
Kindle. Now we dont mention
our old flame, both of us em-
barrassed by our shared
youthful passion.
The convenience of tablets
326 million will sell in 2015,
the Gartner research firm says
has changed everything. Im
even willing to buy an e-book
of something I already own in
print. Thats how far superior
digital editions are if you
arent someone who fetishizes
books as physical objects.
What freed me to face my
loathing were the folks at
Encyclopaedia Britannica,
who announced the liberating
news this month that they
would no longer issue bound
volumes.
We have a set, in a corner of
the den. My teenage sons, for
whom it was purchased, ap-
parently believe its radio-
active, because they never go
near it. Ill admit, it always
had its flaws. You have to look
up everything two or three
times, thanks to a harebrained
decision some years back to
split the encyclopedia into
micro and macro components.
You were supposed to start
with the index, as I recall.
Now you can access the
encyclopedia online for an
annual fee, or via DVD. This
told me something: If Britan-
nica can live on without ink
on paper, so can I. The sheer
inconvenience of physical
Britannica, in fact, helped me
understand that I hadnt lost
interest in the mind of the
books I once loved. Only in
their decrepit bodies.
Yet theres no pretending
the two werent related. Con-
sider the nonfiction books
that peer down from all sides
as I write this. How many
wouldnt have benefited from
a bit of a diet? Bariatric sur-
gery would be more like it;
commercial reasons aside,
many didnt need to be book-
length in the first place. Its
heartening to see that digital
distribution has revived what
were once called pamphlets,
or monographs works longer
than magazine articles, but
shorter than traditional
books.
I wont pretend theres no
loss here. Once, you could
signal other booklovers on the
Long Island Rail Road with
the volume you were reading,
so they could judge you by its
cover. When a book was print-
ed, you had a fixed edition
that might last centuries
and was harder to pirate (Im
a writer, after all, as well as a
reader).
On the other hand, now
people can read things via
tablet they were sheepish
showing off between covers.
They can sample almost any-
thing, and take more chances
because e-books cost less.
Classic writers beyond copy-
right might well enjoy a reviv-
al; I always meant to get
around to Arnold Bennett, but
as a free download The Old
Wives Tale was at last irre-

COMMENTARY
D A N I E L A K S T
Daniel Akst is a columnist for News-
day and a member of the newspa-
pers editorial board.
BEAR WITH me
while I quote from
The Godfather
hey, doesnt every-
one? because this is
really about how
Barack Obama has
been playing fast and
loose with the Constitution.
Michael Corleone tells Kay that his
dad, Vito, is really no different than a
senator or a president. Kay tells
Michael that hes being nave, because
senators and presidents dont have
men killed.
To which Michael says, Oh. Whos
being nave, Kay?
You tell her, Michael! Because, as
the U.S. attorney general made clear
the other day in a speech that got
little play in the news media, thanks
to the Republican primaries Obama
is the first president to claim the legal
authority to whack U.S. citizens, to
act as judge, jury and executioner
without a shred of transparency or
public accountability.
This issue flared briefly last fall
after Anwar al-Awlaki, an American-
born, American-educated radical
Muslim cleric, was lit up in Yemen by
one of Obamas drones. Another
American was killed in the attack,
and, two weeks later, Awlakis 16-year-
old son, also an American citizen, was
taken out in another attack.
The Obama team refused to say
why Awlaki warranted summary exe-
cution. It refused to discuss whether
he was an imminent threat, or the
criteria that prompted Obama to OK
the hit. It appears that the Justice
Department supplied a legal rationale
in writing, but to this day the adminis-
tration refuses to confirm or deny the
existence of such a memo.
Indeed, 18 months before Awlakis
death, it was reported (via govern-
ment leaks) that Awlakis name had
been placed on a hit list of American
citizens, but today we still dont know
who is on the list, why they were
placed on the list, what kind of evi-
dence puts you on the list, or which
government officials maintain the list.
Whats clear, however, is that an
American citizen can be placed on the
hit list without knowing it, and with
no opportunity to face or refute ones
accusers.
All that would appear to be in vio-
lation of the Fifth Amendment (No
person shall be deprived of life ...
without due process of law), as well
as Obamas constant boast that he is
running the most transparent admin-
istration in history. And when At-
torney General Eric Holder said in his
speech that Obama can make these
life-or-death decisions without any
judicial oversight, he contradicted
Sen. Obama, who had insisted on the
Senate floor that even presidents
fighting a war on terror needed to be
checked and balanced by judicial
oversight.
Democrats, you might recall, were
very upset in those days by George W.
Bushs flexing of executive muscle.
They didnt like his warrantless wire-
taps. They didnt like his Guantanamo
detentions, which is what Sen. Obama
was complaining about in 2006. He
said that a detainee should have the
right to refute the governments case.
He said the courts were the proper
venue, and he scoffed at the Bush
partisans for believing that judicial
inquiry is an antique, trivial, and dis-
pensable luxury.
Flash forward to 2012. Obama, as
president, has gone way beyond lock-
ups and wiretaps. He says its OK to
order hits on American citizens for
secret reasons, shielded from any
judicial inquiry. When the ACLU sued
the government in late 2010, trying to
pry open some information about the
reported hit list, Obamas lawyers
invoked a state secrets defense and
convinced a federal judge that the
courts had no role to play. And when
the ACLU and the New York Times
recently filed Freedom of Information
requests, hoping to obtain the legal
memorandum that supposedly vets
the hit program, Obamas lawyers said
no, and stated: We do not confirm or
deny that such a memorandum ex-
ists.
Since its Obama who is doing it,
Democrats are basically mute. Dont
constitutional principles, and the
importance of civil liberties, apply to
whoever happens to be in power?
Granted, few of us care about what
happened to Anwar al-Awlaki. He was
over in Yemen stoking our mortal
enemies with incendiary rhetoric. And
most of us probably assume that any-
one who lands on a citizen hit list
deserves to be there. And presidents
are on safe ground politically if they
sound tougher than tough in the war
on terror.
But somebody has to ask the in-
convenient questions. It would help
us greatly if the White House report-
ers did the job; unfortunately, when
they met with Obama at a March 6
news conference, they failed to ask
Obama a single question about Hold-
ers speech just 24 hours earlier. That
would have been a prime opportunity,
because Holder gave Obama sweeping
life-or-death authority without supply-
ing a single legal citation.
Someone could have stood up and
asked: What kind of evidence is re-
quired to whack an American citizen?
Who weighs this evidence? Does any-
one speak for the accused citizen?
How many citizens are on the list?
In The Godfather, Part II, Michael
Corleone said, If anything in this life
is certain, if history has taught us
anything, its that you can kill any-
body. But surely we can do better
than that. Id much prefer the words of
former Justice Sandra Day OConnor,
who warned in a ruling eight years
ago that a state of war is not a blank
check for the president, when it
comes to the rights of the nations
citizens.
Constitution, civil liberties take hit in Obamas life-or-death decisions

Feedback will help
reshape Medicare
I
n the coming weeks, thou-
sands of Medicare bene-
ficiaries, including many
among the 2.2 million in Penn-
sylvania, will receive two sur-
veys that aim to gauge their
satisfaction with Medicare
plans: the Consumer Assess-
ment of Healthcare Providers
and Systems Health Plan sur-
vey, distributed by the Agency
for Healthcare Research and
Quality, and the Medicare
Health Outcomes Survey, from
the Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services.
When these critical surveys
arrive in your mailbox, you
might be tempted to toss them
in the trash. However, seniors
and their caregivers should
open and respond to these
documents right away because
they offer an opportunity to
have a direct impact on future
Medicare plan offerings and
costs.
These questionnaires aim to
gather credible information
about Medicare beneficiaries
health, experiences with their
health plan and the care they
received from doctors and
specialists. The data collected
helps the government and
Medicare plans identify areas
for improvement and allows
beneficiaries to compare plans
and make more informed choic-
es.
I strongly encourage those
people who receive the survey
to participate, especially since
your opinions will represent
those of many. This is your
chance to let the government,
health plans and fellow bene-
ficiaries know your level of
satisfaction with your Medicare
plan as well as what you would
like to see in the future.
Remember, completing these
surveys allows your voice to be
heard in shaping the future of
Medicare plans.

Take heed today
and turn from sin
C
hristians around the world
are in the season of Lent
during which all are asked
to look closely and honestly at
themselves in relationship to
God and others. It can be said
that searching within is not just
for this season, but is an ongo-
ing project.
Sometimes I feel that sin is
being overlooked. By Gods
standards, there are so many
things that certain people dont
consider sin anymore. Every-
thing in the Ten Command-
ments has been made into 10
human suggestions.
Can we then depend on our
Christian preachers to preach
about sin in the 21st century?
Not really. Many denomina-
tions abandoned that about 50
years ago. Such talk might
make the congregation feel
uneasy, pick up and go some-
where else where sin isnt even
mentioned.
God grieves for our world.
He gives signs for us every day
to return to the practice of his
commandments. So when you
see the daily news of wars,
mass murder, starvation, addic-
tion, rise of cancer rates, Earth
and weather changes and in-
justice, stop and pay attention.
Dont despair, though. A
better world awaits us, if we
take heed now.
Lent turns the world around
one person at a time.

Its been more than 50 years
since Doo-wop reached the
height of its popularity in the late
1950s and early1960s, but the vo-
cal-based style of music is still
quite popular on the concert cir-
cuit.
Ask Kenny Vance, a founding
member of Jay and the Ameri-
cans and
leader of
his own
group since
1992, who
will head-
line Malt

mories at
the F.M.
Kirby Cen-

Wilkes-
Barre on
Friday.
Its big-
ger than ever, Vance said.
Theres a certain demographic
that just loves it, and we go on
cruises andplay places like Atlan-
tic City and Las Vegas all the
time.
Its completely under the ra-
dar, but it still draws a tremen-
dous crowd.
In addition to Vance and his
groupThe Planotones, the fourth
installment of Joe Nardones pop-
ular Doo-wop series will show-
case Charlie Thomas Drifters,
The Tymes, Lenny Welch, Linda
Jansen and The Angels and The
Duprees.
Originally formed in 1953 as a
backing group for Clyde McPhat-
ter, the second incarnation of The
Drifters, consisting of lead singer
Ben E. King, baritone Doc Green,
tenor Thomas and bass Elsbeary
Hobbs beganastringof hits in1959
with There Goes My Baby.
DancewithMe, This Magic Mo-
ment andSavetheLast Dancefor
Me (the groups only No. 1) quick-
ly followedbefore King left for a so-
lo career in1960.
But the hits continued for the
group, including Up On The
Roof (No. 5, 1962), On Broad-
way (No. 9, 1963) and Under
The Boardwalk (No. 4, 1964).
Thomas sang lead on two Top 40
hits, Sweets For My Sweet in
1961 and When My Little Girl Is
Smiling in 1962.
The Drifters (consisting of
members from both incarna-
tions, including Thomas) were
inducted into the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame in 1988, while both
incarnations were inducted sepa-
rately into the Vocal Group Hall
of Fame. There are multiple
groups performing these days as
The Drifters, but the one led by
Thomas is the only one that in-
cludes an original member.
The Tymes, a vocal quintet
from Philadelphia, hit No.1 with
their first release, So Much in
Love, in 1963. The group then
hit the Hot 100 nine more times
over the next 13 years, including
Wonderful! Wonderful! (No. 7,
1963), Somewhere (No. 19,
1963) and You Little Trustmak-

In a movie career thats lasted
nearly two decades, Ewan
McGregor has played poets,
thieves, junkies, rock stars, play-
boys and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Hes
sung to Nicole Kidman,
smooched Scarlett Johansson
and been seduced by JimCarrey.
But inall of his nearly50flicks,
McGregor has never played such
a buttoned-down square as he
does in Salmon Fishing in the
Yemen, which opens Friday in
area theaters. As Fred, a fisheries
expert enlisted by an Arab
sheikh (Amr Waked) to create a
habitat for salmon at the bottom
of the Arabian Peninsula,
McGregor might be mistakenfor
the worlds biggest nerd.
This guy is very repressed,
very locked-up emotionally, sex-
ually and socially, McGregor
notes. Hes quite an awkward
man. The fun part of playing him
was taking him from that place
to the end of the film, where hes
a very different person. There
was something very satisfying
about depicting that journey.
Salmon Fishing, directed by
Chocolats Lasse Hallstrom
and written by Slumdog Mil-
lionaires Simon Beaufoy, hooks
youwithits depictionof a love af-
fair between McGregor and Emi-
ly Blunt, who plays the sheikhs
assistant. Their relationship is
complicatedby the fact that Fred
is locked in a loveless marriage
and Emily plays the girlfriend of
a just-deployed soldier.
For McGregor, working with
Blunt was a dream come true.
Emily is so lovely, he says. I
had such a laugh with her. She
had me in stitches for three
months. Shes such an amusing
girl and so easy to be around. We
are very similar kinds of actors,
so it was a great partnership. We
laughed our way through the
whole thing.

HOROSCOPE
HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Your joy may be play-
ing tricks on you now.
Making happiness your
ultimate goal will not bring
you happiness. However,
working toward a worthy
purpose will have a happy
side effect.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
You are loved. Theres
an invisible world all
around you. A kingdom
of spirits commissioned
to guard you, do you
not see it? From Jane
Eyre, by your sign mate
Charlotte Bronte, and
most applicable.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
You have a talent that you
never think of as such: You
can quickly unwind your
mind and change gears
when its time. This ease
you feel in the transitions
will help you win at life
today and beyond.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
If your body expects a cer-
tain sensation, it will not
feel it as acutely. Its the
surprises that hurt or thrill
your senses the most.
Youll use this principle to
your advantage.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You
have marvelous potential
for getting what you want
out of whatever kind of
relationship you focus
your powers on now. This
is true mostly because
youre so adept at sens-
ing what others need and
offering it in exchange.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
You can improve other
peoples moods just by lis-
tening to them. You have a
way of making people feel
heard and understood on
deeper levels. Your ears
are instruments of healing.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
When accidents hap-
pen, you have a mature
approach. Life has taught
you not to take things too
personally. However, if you
think someone hurt you on
purpose, that changes the
entire scenario.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Your offerings are strong,
and you present them in a
very appealing light. In the
end, it boils down to con-
fidence. Your opinion of
yourself will be the deter-
mining factor in whether
you get a deal or not.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You have reason to be
ever so cautiously opti-
mistic. Expecting to have
an easy road will make the
road harder. Conversely,
preparing for hardship
somehow makes you rath-
er magically immune to it.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Theres humor in the
argumentative banter
that goes on between you
and a loved one, though
you dont always see it
as funny in the moment.
The evenings objectivity
makes prior interactions
seem ridiculous.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Preconceptions will work
in your favor now. Play
out imaginary scenarios
in your head as a way
of getting ready. Think a
situation through several
times before enacting it in
real life.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Youll exert high energy
for most of the day and
then hit a definite turning
point this evening. Relax
when its time to relax, and
youll save yourself from
burning out or feeling run
down later.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (March
25). Youve pushed your-
self hard. Now take a
breather. Even though the
next three months feel
like a lovely coast, youll
learn from this period of
your life. May brings family
bonding. In late June, work
gets more challenging and,
after you rise to the occa-
sion, more lucrative, too.
Love makes life exciting
in August. Aquarius and
Gemini people adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 9,
30, 1, 33 and 41.

DEAR ABBY
Mother wants distant
grandpa to come closer
Dear Abby:
My daughter
just celebrat-
ed her first
birthday, and
Im trying
to come to
terms with the fact that my
father isnt a baby person.
He and his wife showed
up to her party an hour and
a half late and left early. The
gift they brought was for a
much younger, smaller baby,
and the price tag was still
on it. The gift cost less than
$10. Dad and his wife are
not poor; in fact, they are
wealthy.
Dad isnt in good health,
so I hate being mad at him. I
dont know how many more
years hell be around. Should
I talk to him about this, or
just let him sit it out and do
practically nothing to be a
part of his only grandchilds
life? What do I tell her when
shes old enough to wonder
why Grandpa never sees her?
Melancholic Mom in
Michigan
Dear Melancholic Mom: If
it will make you feel better
to talk to your father about
this, by all means do so.
But keep in mind that he
comes from a generation of
men who didnt necessarily
relate to babies. Also, if hes
in poor health, it may be a
reason why hes not eager to
hold her. Its possible he may
relate better to his grand-
child when shes old enough
to interact with him.
Tackle the question about
how to respond to your
daughter when shes old
enough to question his ab-
sence. Its possible he may
no longer be around by then.
And if thats the case, hope
hes more generous in his es-
tate planning than he was on
her first birthday.
Dear Abby: My mom is
divorced. She lives alone
in an isolated area and has
been diagnosed with severe
depression. About a year
ago, while she was staying
with my sister Susie, my
sister looked through Moms
online accounts and discov-
ered that Moms fiance is a
prisoner. She also saw that
Mom has been using a ser-
vice to send large amounts of
money to his prison account.
Susie has continued to log
onto Moms account. She
tracks the amount of money
shes sending this pris-
oner and reads the letters he
sends to her. He insists Mom
keep their relationship a se-
cret, that she meet him upon
his release from prison and
marry him immediately.
Its apparent that I have
two problems one, that
Susie is tracking Moms
private dealings. The other,
that my mother is sending
money she cant afford to a
prisoner with a history of
fraud and domestic abuse.
What should I do?
Desperate For Answers
Dear Desperate: Contact
the warden of the prison, ex-
plain what has been going on
and express your concerns,
which are valid. It is entirely
possible that your mother
isnt the only vulnerable
woman this prisoner has
been extorting money from.
I have heard in the past
from prison guards who have
warned me that this is often
a scam, and one that is quite
common. In fact, the prison-
ers sometimes collaborate
with one another in writing
these communications to
make them more effective.
Dear Abby: I was married
for five years to a man I was
afraid of. He was controlling,
uptight and never let me
out of his sight. When we
divorced, I was happy, and
I thought that would be the
end of it.
However, I find myself go-
ing back to him every time
he calls, in spite of knowing
who he is and what he did to
me. Why cant I get over him
and move on?
Back at Square One in
Oklahoma
Dear Back At Square One:
Possibly because you are
co-dependent, have low self-
esteem and are afraid hes
the only man you can get.
Because the path youre on is
destructive, please get some
counseling to help you estab-
lish healthier relationships.

Welch, born in New York City
and raised in Asbury Park, N.J., hit
the Hot 100 nine times between
1960 and 1972. He is best remem-
beredfor hisversionof SinceI Fell
For You, which reached No. 4 in
1963.
Best known for its chart-top-
ping, million-selling My Boy-
friends Back from1963, The An-
gels were a pop trio formed in the
early1960s in Orange, N.J. Jansen,
the groups original lead singer,
sangontwoTop40hits, CryBaby
CryandTil,beforeleavingfor a
solo career in1962. The groupwas
inductedintotheVocal GroupHall
of Fame in 2005.
The Duprees, originally a quin-
tet from Jersey City, N.J., scored
eight Hot 100 hits between 1962
and 1965. Its biggest hits includ-
ed You Belong To Me (No. 7)
and My Own True Love (No.
13) from 1962, and Why Dont
You Believe Me (No. 37) and
Have You Heard (No. 18) from
1963. The group was inducted in-
to the Vocal Group Hall of Fame
in 2008.
Vance was a founding member
of Jay and the Americans, which
hit the Hot 100 18 times between
1962 and 1970. Big hits for the
groupincludedSheCried (No. 5,
1962), Come a Little Bit Closer
(No. 3, 1964), Cara, Mia (No. 4,
1965) andaremakeof This Magic
Moment, which reached No. 6 in

first major hit written by Neil Dia-
mond when it took Sunday and
Me to No. 18 in1965, and was in-
ducted into the Vocal Group Hall
of Fame in 2002.
After the group broke up in the
early1970s, Vancewent ontoasec-
ondcareer as amusical director for
movies, beginning with 1978s
American Hot Wax and contin-
uing with Animal House, The
Warriors and Eddie and the
Cruisers. He also served as musi-
cal director for Saturday Night
Live in1980, booking suchacts as
Aretha Franklin, James Brownand
Prince. For the 2000filmLooking
For an Echo (named after his
groups signature song), Vance
composed the score and provided
thesingingvoicefor actor Armand
Assante.
The Planotones can trace their
roots backtoVances filmwork. He
appeared in American Hot Wax
as the leader of the fictional group
Professor La Plano andThe Plano-
tones.
All the while I was working in
films, I kept on recording because
that is my passion, Vance said. In
1992, I was booked for a TV show,
and I needed a group. So I put this
one together and resurrected the
name.
Vance said The Planotones
have recently been working on a
new album and still play about
100 dates per year, about half the
time on their own and the other
half as part of a package like the
one that will bring them to
Wilkes-Barre for the third time in
recent years.
We always enjoy going there,
he said. We go to a lot of differ-
ent places, and it always feels like
a really good spirit and a big re-
naissance is going on there.

ready appeared in two 2012 mo-
vies: Steven Soderberghs action-
thriller Haywire and the low-
budget sci-fi flick Perfect
Sense. Hell soon be seen in
Bryan Singers big-budget fairy-
tale reboot Jack the Giant Kill-
er, due on March 22, 2013, and
The Impossible, a drama set
during and after the Indian
Ocean Tsunami in 2004.
McGregor also recently signed
up for the HBO series The Cor-
rections, based on the ac-
claimed novel by Jonathan Fran-
zen. The show, which will shoot
for four months every year, co-
stars Dianne Wiest, Maggie Gyl-
lenhaal and Chris Cooper as
members of a troubled family.
If that isnt enough McGregor
to go around, the 3-D version of
Star Wars: Episode 1: The Phan-
tom Menace was re-released in
theaters in February, scoring $23
million its opening weekend.
I remember it was such an
amazing experience to be select-
ed for Star Wars, McGregor
says. Id only done a couple of
American movies at that time,
and I didnt take the assignment
lightly.
I got all kinds of advice before
I did it. Its funny because my un-
cle, Denis Lawson, who was in
the first three Star Wars films,
told me not to do it. He said, If
you want a career in your 30s,
dont do it. He spoke from expe-
rience about them not being the
most satisfying films hed ever
made. But I didnt listen to him
. And I loved it. I love it to this
day. I lovetheidea of havingfilms
that young people can see.
There are at least four young
people withlittle or nointerest in
the Stars Wars franchise. My
kids couldcareless about themo-
vies, the actor says of his four
daughters, with wife Eve Mavra-
kis, whorange inage from16 to1.
They dont discuss them or
play with the toys. In fact, they
dont even have any Star Wars
toys. They are as uninterested in
the whole Star Wars phenom-
enon as they could be.
Evenif he cant get his children
hookedonStar Wars, McGregor
is happy to know fans are check-
ing out the films on the big
screen in 3-D rather than re-
watching them on DVD.
It worries me that more and
more people, even people I like
and respect, are saying, Whats
the point of going to the cinema
whenyoucanjust get it fromNet-
flix and download it at home? I
really believe in the magic of the
cinema experience. I dont
want cinemas to disappear like
book shops and record shops.
McGregor, born in Perth, Scot-
land, enjoyed his breakthrough
role in 1996 with Trainspot-
ting, a tough wallop of a druggie
dramedy. As the leader of the
pack of heroin addicts, the actor
delivered a deeply funny and re-
vealing turn. He even managed
to drop his trousers, the first of
many times he bared all on
screen.
Asked if hed ever do a nude
scene again, McGregor says, I
dont know. That question im-
plies that I go out of my way to be
naked in movies. I dont. Thats
not the way I work. But, at the
same time, I think sometimes
that (nude scenes are required
to) represent life realistically, es-
pecially if you are going to ex-
plore romance or sexuality.
If McGregor has astrongsuit
as an actor, its playing charac-
ters with a wicked streak. His
cat-ate-the-canary grin has en-
livened more than a few rebels
and reprobates through the
years.
Its no wonder, then, that
turning 40 had a big impact on
him.
I never worried about ag-
ing, but 40 was the first birth-
day where I stopped and really
thought about it, he says. I
kept finding myself watching
TV, especially the news, and
wondering if everyone was
younger or older than me. Es-
pecially, like, politicians or
people in positions of respon-
sibility. Its scary to think that
youmight be older thanthem.
A few years ago, McGregor
made a full-time move to Los
Angeles. While his Scottish
brogue is as thick as ever, he
says going Hollywood has giv-
en him more career opportuni-
ties. And two decades into his
career, McGregor is as jazzed
about acting as hes ever been.
I love it, he says. Its a
great profession. Its a lovely
thing to do, to explore the
world we live in through the
eyes of different characters. Its
a privilege, really.

BEST SELLERS
S
outh Florida is known for many things: Alligators, or-
ange groves and the writer who spins the areas most
sensational attributes into even more sensational sto-
ry lines, Carl Hiaasen. In his many best-sellers for adults
and kids, Hiaasen has demonstrated a unique gift for wrap-
ping real environmental issues into apocryphal, bust-a-gut
books that parody pop culture a talent he furthers in
his most recent middle-school novel, Chomp.
In a crossover title that bears all the Hiaasen hall-
marks, minus the sex, a young boy named Wahoo
helps his father recover fromaniguana-caused
concussion. Wahoo, however, is mostly a
bystander to a rollicking plot that pulls
backthecurtainonso-calledrealityTV
and its biggest outdoorsy phenom,
Man vs. Wild.
Relentlessly normal, Wahoo isnt
the most compelling protagonist to lead readers
through a story as wild as this one, but he is, at least,
sane. ChompiswrittenbyHiaasen, after all, meaningthe
charactersare, at best, eccentric. At worst, theyrenarcissis-
tic ladder-climbers or parasitic morons.
The real star of Chomp is DerekBadger, a former Irish
folk dancer-turned-showbiz survivalist who landed the
lead role on Expedition Survival! for his ability to swal-
lowa livesalamander without vomiting. Badger is a huge
televisionstar whosports aspray-ontanandfakeAustra-
lian accent and enjoys five-course meals and five-star
hotels off camera, but heis alsoaklutzwhosemishaps
are disguised by makeup and clever editing.
Chomp takes its name fromthe many crit-
ters that playsupportingroles inthis book, bit-
ing Badger with abandon in unseemly body
parts. In previous episodes of his showon the Un-
tamed Channel, Badger tripped over a tortoise
and fell on a yucca. He broke both ankles when
baby geckos scurriedup his shorts. So for the
Everglades episode, Badgers producers have
wisely reached out to Wahoos dad, a well-
known animal wrangler who keeps
Alice the alligator, Beulahthe py-
thon and dozens of other exot-
ic critters as pets.
Like Hiaasens other
books for young readers, Chomp is a
social commentary with a strong envi-
ronmental messagethat slylyembeds in-
to the action a lot of information about
Floridas flora andfauna. Humorous as it
is to open a story with a 71/2 -pound liz-
ard falling froma palmtree and prompt-
ing a hospital visit, the underlying prob-
lem of people dumping imported ani-
mals into the wild is real. It just isnt par-
ticularly funny.
Such realities are merely a departure point for Hiaa-
sen, who wraps them in new and unusual shapes that
invariably involve trailer trash, or, more accurately, the
comedic opportunities their lives present. He extracts
humor by bringingthe authentic andposeurishintocon-
tact in the most outrageous ways and highlighting crazy
behavior of the desperate.
Wahoos dad might not have accepted the assignment to
film Expedition Survival! in his back-
yard if he werent on the verge of losing
his home to foreclosure. If it werent for
Badgers attempt to put the real back in-
to reality by later moving the shoot to the
actual Everglades, its even less likely Wahoo
wouldhavemet theilliterateairboat driver
oragirl namedTunawhowaslivingina
WinnebagoinaWal-Mart parkinglot
with her drunken, gun-toting dad.
But readers will certainly be
happy they did.

Remembering the Titanic: A
Titanic Tea Tasting Event will
take place at 2 p.m. April 10 at the
Hoyt Library in Kingston. The
first hour will be hosted by Alice
Baran, owner of The Tea & Bas-
ket Place in the Parsons section
of Wilkes-Barre, who will bring
three different types of tea, one of
which is her special Titanic
blend.
Baran was never one to look
deeplyintothe Titanic storyuntil
recently, and what she learned
amazed her.
It really is a tragic story, and
Imlearning so much more every
day, shesaid. Mydaughter lives
inBelfast, Ireland, where the ship
was built, and she told me that
the same crew building the ship
were also building city hall, so
the design is very similar.
Baran will share photos of that
city hall fromher daughter, Daria
Walsh, and bring along black tea,
which she said is what the pas-
sengers on the ill-fated ship
drank.
The film Titanic will be
shown, followedbyatalkbyPenn
State Wilkes-Barres Bill Bach-
man, communications arts and
sciences instructor andhistorian.
Carol Dalmas, outreach librar-
ian at the Hoyt, said the Titanic
books at the library have always
been a draw.
Theres just something about
it that has people of all ages look-
ing to learn more, she said.
Around the time of the anniver-
sary is when books are taken out
the most.
Bachman also will be on hand
during the entirety of the Penn
State film series, which takes
place every spring and fall. The
subject for the spring session,
running consecutive Thursdays
this year, was a no-brainer.
Was there any other choice?
Bachman asked. Youve got to
do the Titanic.
Hes confident Penn State has
pulled together the perfect set of
movies for Titanic enthusiasts.
I honestly believe that any-
body who attends this prime film
series is going to be a quasi-pro-
fessional in all things Titanic.
The first film, Titanic Tech, a
piece on the building of the ship,
showed on Thursday. The next,
Ghosts of the Abyss, focuses on
one of James Camerons descents
to the wreck site.
The audience is transported
into a little dive machine to the
bottom of the Atlantic, where
they can see different parts of the
shipliterally meltingintothe bot-
tomof the ocean, Bachmansaid.
After the film, Dudley Snyder
of Penn States chemistry depart-
ment will speakabout the materi-
als used to build the ship.
Theres always been great
controversy over whether the 3
million rivets used were suffi-
ciently strong enough to hold the
ship together, Bachman said.
What we do knowis that the riv-
ets used then were probably per-
fectly acceptable but would not
dare be used in a ship on the
ocean today.
Next in the film series, A
Night to Remember, a1958 Brit-
ish film based on the accounts of
the British Board of Inquiry con-
vened after the Titanic sank, will
be shown April 5. April 12 will
bringa sci-fi twist withRaise the
Titanic, a 1980 movie that sug-
gests the Titanic sank in one
piece, could be equipped with air
collars and re-floated.
I think people have always
hoped the ship would finish sail-
ing across the Atlantic, Bach-
man said. This film lets people
live vicariously through the Ti-
tanic being raised.
The final night of the film se-
ries will be the most poignant. It
takes place 100 years to the day
the Titanic sank, on April 15. The
1953 filmversionof Titanic will
beshown, but what happens after
that will be most astounding.
We have two families fromthe
Wyoming Valley, both of whom
had relatives on the Titanic, that
will be with us, Bachman said.
In both cases one or more mem-
bers went down on the ship, but
another relative or so actually
made it off.
The night will conclude with a
three-to-five minute memorial
service to honor those who per-
ished on the ship.
Its going to be staggering,
Bachman said. The whole thing
is. To see a ship, something that
in 1912 made a statement that
says, This is where human inge-
nuity is; this is what we can do.
To take a closer look at some-
thing like that and the tragedy
surrounding it is really some-
thing else.
Meanwhile, the West Pittston
Library isnt missing the boat ei-
ther, but its efforts will mainly fo-
cus on a younger audience. A
childrens event will take place at
1 p.m. April 14, complete with
crafts, games and books related
to the Titanic.
Their parents might prefer the
upscale event planned for The
Westmoreland Club in Wilkes-
Barre, which will invite people to
take a seat at the last dinner ever
servedaboardtheTitanic. Theat-
mosphere and menu will be a re-
creation of the last meal for first-
class passengers. First- and sec-
ond-class passengers, of course,
dined differently. One mans mut-
tonchopor roast duckwas anoth-
er mans baked haddock and
green peas.
Cocktail hour begins at 6 p.m.,
followed by dinner at 7 p.m. A
band will play throughout the
night, and black tie or formal pe-
riod attire is required.

HANOI In Hanoi, soup is a
way of life the connective tissue
of Vietnamese culture. With noo-
dles, herbs and sinew, it strings to-
gether twisting streets and varied
lifestyles. Here the bones, crum-
pled napkins and squeezed limes
that litter the ground beneath tiny
plastictablesaresymbolsof agood
meal and a life well lived.
I came here in early December
largely because of Hanois growing
reputation as a culinary capital. In
2010, the website Shermans Travel
(www.shermanstravel.com) ranked
Hanoi, Vietnams second-largest city
after HoChi MinhCity, as the No. 2
foodie destination in the world, be-
hindBarcelona, Spain, andaheadof
Rome and Tokyo.
Pho rice noodles in savory
broth with a variety of meat and
herbs is Vietnams national dish,
and bun cha a combination of
grilledpork, sweet andsavorybroth
withfishsauce, slicedgreenpapaya,
ricenoodlesandfreshherbsisthe
signature dish of Hanoi. Besides
thesebelly-warmingstaples, youcan
satisfyyourappetitewithall manner
of noodle soups for breakfast, lunch
and dinner.
The abundance of options
makes lookingfor the perfect bowl
of noodles in Hanoi a tricky one.
Its a quest that will lead you
through the citys back alleys,
grand French-influenced boule-
vards and tucked-away neighbor-
hoods. In searching for suste-
nance, youll find religion, history,
art and the theater of everyday life
as it plays out on the scooter-
packed streets.
Idecidedtosticktothecitysubiq-
uitous street stalls, and I vowed to
eat whatever was set before me, no
matter howmysterious.
A bowl of soup on the street in
Hanoi usually sells for 15,000 to
25,000 Vietnamese dong 72
cents to about $1.20 so eating
thiswayhereisasteal. Bycontrast,
a bowl of simple and comparative-
ly bland pho ga (chicken pho) or
pho bo (beef pho) at the elegant
French colonial Hotel Metropole
goes for about $12.50.
To help me gauge which street
stalls were superior, I enlisted the
help of Mai Thi Thu Trang, a
young woman who manages the
Arriba Mexican Restaurant &
Grill, one of Hanois few(andmay-
be only) Mexican restaurants.
Over puffy fried chips and tama-
rind-based salsa, Trang gave me a
bit of advice that guided my quest.
Places that are good are nor-
mally places that old people come
to eat, Trang said. Because they
believe in the quality.
Early the next morning, she
took me to a stall that she said
served some of the best breakfast
noodles in the city. It was deep in
the Old Quarter, a collection of 36
tightly knit streets that retain the
layout and much of the architec-
ture of early 20th century Hanoi,
withroots stretchingas far backas
the11thcentury whenthe city was
established by King Ly Thai To.
I was particularly takenwiththe
warren-like streets surrounding
the Dong Xuan Market, where I
ducked into stalls to gawk at buck-
ets of writhing fish, chicken claws
and exotic herbs and spices.
Trang led me through the chaos
of these streets, turning off Hang
Buom into tiny Ta Hien Street.
Thereshepointedout asmall shop
(No. 2C) where a wizened old
woman in traditional dress sat eat-
ingonthehighstoop(agoodsign).
She beckoned me to sit on a knee-
highplasticbluestool at asimilarly
doll-sizedtable. Ayounger woman
sat on another stool above two
steaming pots.
One pot was filled with broth in-
to which she put noodles plucked
from inside a glass case that held
bowls of brown eggs, salt and
chopped green onions, and plates
of pigs feet, sliced pork and raw
meatballs. I didnt order; she just
made a bowl of noodles, broth, a
dash of salt, a sprinkling of herbs,
pickledgarlic, meatballs andslices
of soft pork and handed it to me.
The dish, called bun doc mung,
was a revelation: The broth was
rich and fragrant, the meatballs
light and redolent of spices. The
soupsustainedmewell past lunch
asI wanderedsouthtoHoanKiem
Lake. With a renewed sense of
Zen, I headed to the French Quar-
ter, where the air suddenly felt
cooler, thanks to the many trees
that shaded the wide boulevards
flanked by stately villas and man-
sions, legacies of an earlier era
when Hanoi was the capital of
French Indochina.
As limp as one of the noodles Id
eatenearlier, I walkedtotheHanoi
Opera House.
The 900-seat French Colonial-
style opera house was built in1911
andhasbeenrestoredafteryearsof
neglect. I ate my second-favorite
bowl of soupat astall markedNo. 9
in an alley called Ngo Trang Tien,
across from the opera house.
Called bun dau, it was a lovely,
light noodle soup with a tomato-
based broth, dry red chili paste,
crunchy greens and tender little
pillows of fried tofu that exploded
with curd when I bit into them.
As the sun set, I wandered back
to the OldQuarter to catcha show
at the Thang Long Water Puppet
Theater, where skilled puppeteers
inrubberbootsperformtheirart in
a small pool decorated like a lake.
When I emerged I was hungry
again, but this time I decided to
takeachance. At thebusycornerof
Hang Bo and Hang Can, I hap-
pened on a bustling stall where
teenagers waitedinlinetoeat fried
chickenfeet, dippedinsalt andlime
juice, and a noodle-based soup in a
blood-black broth in which small
pieces of chicken and liver floated.
The soup went well with a bottle
of lukewarm 333 beer, but it didnt
rival the bowl of noodles Id eaten
that morning on Ta Hien Street,
where the wise old woman had
beckonedtomewiththepromiseof
the glorious day to come.

collection of nearly 2,000 islets and caves is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Its also about a three-hour drive from Hanoi.
Apiping hot bowl of Bun Cha

22, 2012, finally enacted an ordinance
authorizing, among other things, the
issuance of the City's $1,935,000 aggre-
gate principal amount General Obligation

cipal amount General Obligation Bonds,

to reflect the acceptance by the City of the
proposal submitted by PNC Capital Mar-

chase of the Bonds. Such proposal was
received by the Council of the City and

an original issue premium of $21,675.85,
and less an underwriting discount of
$7,612.50), plus accrued interest from the
dated date of the Series B Bonds to the
date of delivery of the Series B Bonds.
Ordinance was amended during final
enactment in that the aggregate principal
amount of the Bonds to be issued was
revised to be $1,935,000.
Ordinance on file was amended during
final enactment to complete and modify
the Ordinance in other minor and nonsub-
stantive respects.
The final form of the Ordinance,
as enacted, together with the form of pro-
posal submitted by the Purchaser, as
accepted by the City, may be examined by

A terric home in a terric location is
available at 388 Maple Ave. in the heart of
Kingston. The list of things to love includes
an amazing, modern kitchen and a vaulted
master bedroom with private balcony that
overlooks the expansive rear yard, among
the largest in the neighborhood.
Listed by Shelby Watchilla of Crossin
Real Estate for $279,900, this ve bedroom,
three bath home offers 3,000 square feet
of space. The lot is a sizable 75-by-200 and
includes an 18- by-36 heated in-ground pool,
a storage building, and a detached one-car
garage. There are two large decks plus two
balconies for enjoying the scenery.
Updated throughout, this home has
many new windows and features beautiful
tiled baths, with a fully nished third oor
with two large bedrooms. An addition to
the home in 2007 brought about a great
room with a corner-set replace and
French doors that open to a large rear
deck. There is a built-in entertainment unit
that encompasses an entire end wall with
cabinets pre-wired for surround sound,
cable and satellite television. Above the
great room is the master bedroom, also
added at that time.
The exterior has white aluminum siding
with black shutters and a covered front
porch. The leaded glass front door opens
into a foyer with hardwood ooring that
takes you to the right to the 15-by-15 formal

center.
To the rear is the 16-by-14 kitchen. The
striking room is sure to be a focal point of
the home and makes use of every square
foot of space with an amazing amount of
oak cabinets topped by black speckled
laminate countertops and a tan tile back-
splash that matches a tan tile oor. Heaters
built-in underneath the cabinets warm the
oor tiles as needed. A cooks dream, this
kitchen has a large island with breakfast
bar that also provides plenty of countertop
workspace. The kitchen is host to stain-
less steel appliances including a stove with
exhaust vent, dishwasher and refrigerator.
There are windows bringing in natural light
from the side and rear. A door opens to a
