The deteriorating Luzerne
County juvenile detention cen-

ter in Wilkes-Barre is only one
example of county-owned real-
estate puzzles facing county
council.
The county needs a records-
storage building, but the oors
of the vacant detention center
atop a hill
along River
Street near the
c our t hous e
arent strong
enough to
support the
weight. The
s t r u c t u r e s
choppy, pris-
on-like layout
isnt conducive
to a records
building or
other county
uses, ofcials
say.
Demolishing
the center and constructing a
new records building is another
option, but it would cost more
than $3 million and require
excavating several feet off the
hilltop to create enough space
to meet todays zoning setbacks
and t record-delivery trucks.
Council could try to sell the
property to a private developer
interested in a small ofce build-
ing or residential structure, but
the pool of potential buyers
might be limited or nonexistent.
You would have a great vista
of a prison that blocks your view
of the river, county Chief Engi-
neer Joe Gibbons said.
The nal option, which has
been exercised since the center
closed in 2002: Do nothing.
The fate and direction of coun-
ty-owned real estate is expected
to be a major topic of council
discussion this year, largely driv-
en by the goal to reduce liability
and get property back into pri-
vate taxpaying hands.
The county owns three other
vacant buildings the former
Valley Crest Nursing Home
in Plains Township, the for-
mer Springbrook Water Co. in
Wilkes-Barre and a building in
downtown Hazleton that once
housed a bank.
As many as several hundred
vacant land slivers also ended
up in the countys name during
the past 200 years, Gibbons said.
The county also is semi-liable
for more than 700 repository
properties that didnt sell in past
back-tax auctions.
In addition, county ofcials
are wrestling with ways to stay
on top of two county-owned rec-
reational facilities the River
Common along the Susquehan-
na River in downtown Wilkes-

council likely to consider

WILKES-BARRE Two
months after telling a reporter
he already had sent the car of
an elderly woman at the heart
of price-gouging complaints
to a junkyard, city tower Leo
Glodzik III on Saturday re-
turned the vehicle to her.
City resident Natalie Aleo,
82, said Glodzik, of LAG Tow-
ing Inc., called her Friday night
and offered to tow the car to
her home at no charge, saying
he was tired of all the nega-
tive press since allegations
he attempted to charge her to
recover the vehicle, which had
been reported stolen.
The development came as
a surprise to Aleo, given that
Glodzik, in a Jan. 24 interview
The Times Leader, said he al-
ready had taken the car to a
junkyard to be salvaged.
Glodziks actions came two
days after The Times Leader
obtained information from the
state Department of Transpor-
tation that
no salvage
title had
been issued
for Aleos
vehicle. In
an interview
Wednesday,
PennDOT of-
cials said
any junkyard that takes pos-
session of a vehicle is required
to obtain a salvage title. Those
titles are typically issued with-
in two days after they are re-
quested.
The newspaper was continu-
ing to look into the matter and
had not contacted Glodzik
as of Friday to question him
about the lack of a salvage
title, which indicated the ve-
hicle had not been taken to a
junkyard.
Contacted Saturday, Glodzik
declined to comment when
asked for an explanation of the
discrepancy.
Aleo said Glodzik did not
mention if he had towed the
car, a 1993 Cutlass Ciera, from
his garage or somewhere else.

WASHINGTON An ex-
hausted Senate gave pre-dawn
approval Saturday to a Demo-
cratic $3.7 trillion budget for
next year that embraces nearly
$1 trillion in tax increases over
the coming decade but shelters
domestic programs targeted
for cuts by House Republicans.
While their victory was by
a razor-thin 50-49 vote, it al-
lowed Democrats to tout their
priorities. Yet it doesnt resolve
the deep differences the two
parties have over decits and
the size of government.
Joining all Republicans vot-
ing no were four Democrats
who face re-election next year
in potentially difcult races:
Sens. Max Baucus of Montana,
Mark Begich of Alaska, Kay
Hagan of North Carolina and
Mark Pryor of Arkansas. Sen.
Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., did
not vote.
White House spokesman
Jay Carney praised the Senate
plan, saying in a statement it
will create jobs and cut the
decit in a balanced way.
While calling on both sides
to nd com-
mon ground,
Carney did
not hold out
much hope
for compro-
mise with
R e p u b l i -
cans. The
rival budget
passed by
the GOP-led
House cuts
social pro-
grams too
deeply, he
said, and fails
to ask for a
single dime
of decit re-
duction from
closing tax
loopholes for
the wealthy
and well-con-
nected.
The Senate vote came after
lawmakers labored through
the night on scores of symbolic
amendments, ranging from
voicing support for letting
states collect taxes on Internet
sales to expressing opposition
to requiring photo IDs for vot-
ers.
Final approval came about 5
a.m., capping an extraordinary
Democratic
budget is no
olive branch
GOP says it can balance the
books in 10 years.

WILKES-BARRE The
Big Brothers Big Sisters of The
Bridge, based in the city, spon-
sored its annual Bowl for Kids
Sake fundraiser at Stanton Lane
on Saturday to a packed house.
About 250 teams, involving
more than 1,100 participants, en-
joyed the bowling, refreshments
and fun atmosphere while rais-
ing money for the regions Big
Brothers Big Sisters network.
Frankie Warren, of Magic 93,
and Tom and Noreen Clark, of
WNEP-TV, were the community
chairpersons for this years fund-
raiser.
This is our largest fundraiser
each year, said Big Brothers pro-
gram director Tanya Olaviany.
We raised a little over $94,000
last year, and we hope to raise as
much today.
The money raised by the bowl-
ers will help facilitate a major
portion of the organizations
youth mentoring work through-
out the coming year, which helps
more than 400 children in North-
east Pennsylvania, she said.
I started volunteering as a Big
Brother a few months ago, said
Tony Matreselva of Wilkes-Barre,
who attended the event with his
10-year-old little brother John.
I spent some time in social
work, so this was a natural ex-
tension. I wanted to volunteer in
something that would be person-
ally rewarding. And it has been.
Organizers said all levels of
bowlers are welcome at the
event and each team must col-
lect donations before it registers
to bowl.
I really have a lot of fun with
Big Brothers, said one young
bowler. Since Ive been a little
brother, Im much happier than
I was before all this. Its really
great.
Big Brothers Big Sisters staff-
ers expressed their gratitude to
area sponsors who donated time
and money to make the event
successful.
Fun for Kids Sake

Times Leader Correspondent
EDWARDSVILLE A
three-alarm re late Saturday
afternoon heavily damaged an
unoccupied house on Green
Street and drew nearly 50 re-
fghters from the West Side. A
Pennsylvania State Police re
marshal was called to investi-
gate.
Edwardsville Fire Chief Ray
King said no one was home at
the time and that there were no
injuries among the reghters.
The alarm came in at 4:28
p.m., and reghters arrived to
nd smoke billowing from the
house, King said.
It was a cellar re, the re
chief said. We could see from
the smoke pouring out of the
chimney that usually indicates
a cellar re to us.
Fromthere, the re extended
up into the walls.
It was a tough re to get at,
King said.
There were no openings in
the front of the house, forc-
ing reghters to work on the
sides and back. Add-ons from
remodeling also made it tough
for reghters, the chief said.
The people who had lived
there are deceased and were
the parents of a woman who
lived in a neighboring house,
the chief said. Her name was
not available.
The house had working utili-
ties, and King said the re ori-
gin was in a front corner near
the electrical box and natural
gas meter.
The re had been burning for
a while, he said.
The oor burned through
in the living room, King said,
adding, so it had a good start
underneath.
Fireghters knocked down
the re within 20 to 30 min-
utes, but it ared up while they
were disconnecting hoses and
loading gear onto trucks. It
was a closet, a rst-oor closet
that we hadnt even opened,
King said. There was some
debris in front of it, and they
opened the door and it lit right
up on them.
It sent heavy smoke out the
windows and openings re-
ghters had made in the alu-
minum siding. It was quickly
extinguished.
Fireghters from Edwards-
ville, Kingston, Larksville,
Plymouth, Courtdale and the
rapid-intervention team from
Hanover Township responded.

M
acey Westforth, 1, hasnt quite gotten the hang

WILKES-BARRE Members of the
Uniformed Units of the Irem Shrine
worked Saturday morning to prepare for
the upcoming 64th annual circus. Many
of the volunteers had hammers in hand,
and all seemed to have smiles on their
faces, knowing their efforts would ben-
et members of the community, young
and old.
This year the circus, with performanc-
es starting April 1 by the Hanneford Cir-
cus, will include tigers, elephants, mo-
torcycles and a refreshed grand nale.
Glen Kraft is delighted to be able to
serve as a clown for the event. I con-
sider the circus a holiday, Kraft said,
and everyone here is a kid, no matter
what age.
Shriner Hank Gordy, 93, who was
seated in the middle of all the activity
at the 109th Field Artillery Armory, has
participated in the event throughout
its history. The circus has changed in
some ways, and in some ways it has
stayed exactly the same, Gordy said.
But everyone every year always has a
good time.

TL products win 27 state awards
WILKES-BARRE The
Times Leader and associated
community publications won
27 Keystone Press Awards this
year in a number of categories,
including investigating report-
ing, page design and sports
event coverage.
The Times Leader garnered
11 awards, The Sunday Dis-
patch received three awards,
The Abington Journal won 12
awards, and The Dallas Post
won one award. The Abington
Journal also was named the
sweepstakes winner for its
division.
Once again the staff at all of
our publications showed why
they are considered the best
in Northeastern Pennsylva-
nia, said Joe Butkiewicz, vice
president and executive edi-
tor. The Times Leader won
rst-place awards for investiga-
tive and spot news, areas of
news gathering crucial to our
readers but not a high priority
for other papers. The sports-
writers and news and feature
page designers at The Times
Leader do terric work every
day, and its great that has been
recognized.
The Abington Journal
continues to prove that our
attention to community news
is worth the effort, Butkie-
wicz said. For the fourth con-
secutive year the staff at the
Journal won the sweepstakes
award for the best paper of its
circulation size in all of Penn-
sylvania. Im proud to work
with such talented and hard-
working journalists.
Winners of the contest will
be honored at the Pennsylva-
nia Press Conference on Satur-
day May 18 in Harrisburg.

Just call it
the pariah
of elected
positions
By SHEENA DELAZIO

Why do so few run for school
board? Maybe because either
way you lose, a professor says.
When it comes to school
board races in Luzerne County,
competition can be a rare com-
modity.
Voters in four districts have
no real choice. Hanover Area
and Lake-Lehman have four
open seats and four candidates,
according to the primary-elec-
tion slate recently released by
the county Election Bureau.
Northwest Area and Wyo-
ming Valley West are even less
competitive: Each has only
three candidates for four seats.
Two other districts Crest-
wood and Dallas have only
one candidate more than there
are open seats.
Why such a scarcity of con-
tenders?
In Lake-Lehman and Wyo-
ming Valley West, the answer
might stem from the election
of members by region, said
Kings College political science
professor David Sosar, who has
served on Hazleton City Coun-
cil in the past and is running
for that post this spring.
I think electing by region
does take a bit of the competi-
tion out of races, Sosar said.
You really narrow your scope
of potential candidates when
you talk about regions.
At Lake-Lehman, three in-
cumbents are running on both
party tickets unopposed: Kevin
Cary in region one and Andrew
Salko and David Paulauskas
in region three. Region 2 in-
cumbent Bo Keller opted not
to seek re-election, and only
one person, Robin Wesley, led
nominating petitions. Unless
someone makes a strong write-
in showing or popular indepen-
dents enter the general elec-
tion in November, that means
the districts race is over before
it starts.
At Wyoming Valley West,
incumbents from regions two,
ve and six James Fender,
Gordon Dussinger and Gary
Evans, respectively are the
sole candidates on both party
tickets. According to the coun-
tys candidate list, no one led
to ll the open region 8 seat.
Fielding candidates
Sosar suspects the same dy-
namics small pools of eli-
gible voters available to begin
with might be one reason
small districts have trouble
elding much of a slate. At
Northwest Area, the countys
smallest district by enrollment,
four open seats drewonly three
incumbents: Peter Lanza, Alton
Bloomin cold weather no barrier to ower sales
Temperatures barely
crawled above freezing Sat-
urday, but The Flower Tent
delivery truck drivers made
their rounds for those shop-
ping for a sure-red indica-
tor of spring.
Display tables were
sparsely stocked at The
Flower Tent on Blackman
Street, Wilkes-Barre, in the
morning, but one operator
said they will be lled with
blossoms and emptied again
by Easter.
By Wednesday, its go-
ing to be full in here and by
(Easter) Sunday, everything
will be gone, said Kimi Reis-
inger, a longtime ower ven-
dor who is just returning to
the seasonal business after a
seven-year sabbatical.
Like nearly a dozen or so
other striped-yellow tents in
the area, Reisinger received
her rst shipment of owers
from Wyoming Greenhous-
es, The Flower Tents parent
company, Saturday morning.
With only three ower va-
rieties avail-
able now at
the Wilkes-
Barre tent
on Black-
man Street,
customers
still showed
up to get
their blos-
soms even
as they were
being un-
loaded from
the truck.
Holding out
for warmer
t e mp e r a -
tures, Re-
isinger said she will get an-
other shipment Monday and
again on Wednesday with
the anticipated Easter lillies,
mums and hydrangeas.

dors when they started with

NEW YORK East Coast residents were buzzing
on social-media sites and elsewhere Friday night after a
brief but bright ash of light streaked across the early-
evening sky in what experts say was almost certainly
a falling meteor.
Bill Cooke of NASAs Meteoroid Environmental Of-
ce said the ash appears to be a single meteor event.
He said it looks to be a reball that moved roughly to-
ward the southeast, going on visual reports.
Judging from the brightness, were dealing with
something as bright as the full moon, Cooke said. The
thing is probably a yard across. We basically have (had)
a boulder enter the atmosphere over the northeast.
He noted that the meteor was widely seen, with more
than 350 reports on the website of the American Meteor
Society alone.
If you have something this bright carry over that
heavily populated area, a lot of people are going to see
it, he said. It occurred around 8 tonight, there were a
lot of people out, and youve got all those big cities out
there.
Derrick Pitts, chief astronomer at Philadelphias
Franklin Institute, agreed that the sightings had all the
hallmarks of a reball: lasting 7 to 10 seconds, bright
and colorful, and seeming to cross much of the sky with
a long stream behind it.
Pitts said meteors fall from the sky all the time, but
that this one caught more eyes because it happened on
a Friday evening and because Twitter has provided a
way for people to share information on sightings.

Shooting suspect conrmed
C
olorado investigators are saying for
the rst time that a former prison
inmate killed in a gunght with Texas
authorities is a suspect in the death of
Colorados state prison system chief.
The evidence gathered in Texas
after the death of Evan Spencer Ebel
provides a strong, strong lead in the
fatal shooting of Colorado Department
of Corrections director Tom Clements,
who was killed at his front door, El
Paso County sheriffs spokesman Lt.
Jeff Kramer said Saturday.
Kramer also conrmed Ebel had
been a member of the 211s, a white-su-
premacist prison gang in Colorado. It
was not known if Ebel knew who Cle-
ments was and that he was the states
top prison ofcial, Kramer said.
A darkly ironic connection emerged
among Ebel and Clements when
Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper con-
rmed Friday he was a longtime friend
of Ebels father, attorney Jack Ebel.
WASHINGTON
Senate OKs pipeline plan
The Senate has endorsed construc-
tion of the proposed Keystone XL pipe-
line that is to carry oil from Canada to
Texas oil reneries.
Senators voted 62-37 on Friday for
the nonbinding measure. Seventeen
Democrats and all 45 Republicans
voted yes.
For four years, environmentalists
and others have tried to derail the
project, saying extracting the oil from
Alberta tar sands would increase
global warming. President Barack
Obama has thwarted it twice, and Ne-
braska ofcials objected initially that
the route would jeopardize ecologically
sensitive lands.
But the Nebraska route has been
changed, and project supporters have
won more backing by arguing it would
create thousands of jobs.

Alibi emerges in shooting
The mother of a baby gunned down
in his stroller says she has no doubt
a teenage suspect is the man who
killed her 13-month-old son, but family
members say he wasnt anywhere near
the scene.
Thats denitely him, Sherry West
said Saturday when she saw the jail
mugshot of 17-year-old DeMarquise
Elkins, who is charged as an adult with
rst-degree murder. Police also ar-
rested a 14-year-old who has not been
identied because hes a minor.
One of the teens red four shots,
then walked around to the stroller and
shot the baby in the face.
Katrina Freeman, Elkins aunt, said
Saturday that he couldnt be the killer
because the two were together at the
time of the shooting.
INDIANAPOLIS
Anne Frank trees shared
Saplings from the chestnut tree that
stood as a symbol of hope for Anne
Frank as she hid from the Nazis in
Amsterdam are being distributed to
11 locations in the United States as
part of a project that aims to preserve
her legacy and promote tolerance.
The tree, one of the Jewish teenagers
only connections to nature while she
hid, was diseased and rotted through
the trunk when wind and heavy rain
toppled it in 2010. But saplings grown
from its seeds will be planted starting
in April, when the Childrens Museum
of Indianapolis will put the rst one in
the ground.
The 11 U.S. locations were chosen
by The Anne Frank Center USA from
34 applicants.

Flashy Friday night: All signs say meteor
By JAKE PEARSON
Associated Press
The spiritual union of these two people is truly a promise
of serenity for the church. -- The Rev. Federico Lombardi, Vatican spokesman
CASTEL GANDOLFO, Italy The
two men in white embraced and showed
one another the deference owed a pope
in ways that surely turned Vatican pro-
tocol upside down: A reigning pope
telling a retired one, We are brothers,
and insisting that they pray side by side
during a date to discuss the future of the
Catholic Church.
Pope Francis traveled Saturday from
the Vatican to this hilltown south of
Rome to have lunch with his predeces-
sor, Benedict XVI, an historic and po-
tentially problematic melding of the pa-
pacies that has never before confronted
the church.
Ina seasonof extraordinary moments,
starting with Benedicts resignation
and climaxing with the election of the
rst Latin American pope, Saturdays
encounter provided perhaps the most
enduring images of this papal transition
as popes present and past embraced,
prayed and broke bread together.
It was a moment of great commu-
nion in the church, said the Vatican
spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lom-
bardi. The spiritual union of these two
people is truly a great gift and a promise
of serenity for the church.
Benedict, 85, has been living at the
papal retreat in Castel Gandolfo since
he stepped down Feb. 28 and became
the rst pope to resign in 600 years.
From the moment he was elected, Fran-
cis, 76, made clear he would go visit
him, refusing in a way to let Benedict
remain hidden from the world as he
had intended.
Wearing a white quilted jacket over
his white cassock to guard against the
spring chill, Benedict greeted Francis
on the helipad of the Castel Gandolfo
gardens as soon as the papal helicop-
ter landed. They embraced and clasped
hands. And in a series of gestures that
followed, Benedict made clear that he
considered Francis pope while Francis
made clear he considered his predeces-
sor very much a revered brother and
equal.
Traveling fromthe helipad to the pala-
zzo, Benedict gave Francis the seat on
the right-hand side of the car, the tradi-
tional place of the pope, while Benedict
sat on the left. When they entered the
chapel inside the palazzo to pray, Bene-
dict tried to direct Francis to the papal
kneeler in the front, but Francis refused.
Taking Benedicts hands and draw-
ing him near, Francis said, No, we are
brothers, Lombardi said. The two used
a longer kneeler in the pews and prayed
side by side, the papal kneeler facing the
altar left vacant.
Francis also brought a gift for Bene-
dict, an icon of the Madonna.

Cyprus pursuing a big bailout
NICOSIA, Cyprus
Politicians in Cyprus were
racing Saturday to com-
plete an alternative plan
raising funds necessary for
the country to qualify for
an international bailout,
with a potential bankrupt-
cy only three days away.
Finance Minister Mich-
alis Sarris said signicant
progress had been made,
and that new legislation
raising funds could be
completed and debated in
Parliament as early as Sat-
urday evening, although
the timing was not certain.
Cyprus has been told it
must raise 5.8 billion eu-
ros ($7.5 billion) in order
to secure 10 billion euros
in rescue loans from other
European countries that
use the single currency,
and from the International
Monetary Fund. The coun-
trys lawmakers soundly
rejected an unpopular ini-
tial plan that would have
seized up to 10 percent of
peoples bank accounts,
and is now seeking a way
to raise the desperately
needed money.
But the idea of a deposit
grab returned to the fore
after Cyprus talks with
longtime ally Russia for
help broke down.

U.S. and Afghanistan approve
critical detention center transfer
WASHINGTON The Unit-
ed States has reached an agree-
ment with the Afghanistan gov-
ernment to transfer the Parwan
Detention Facility to Afghan
control, the Pentagon said Sat-
urday, two weeks after negotia-
tions broke down over whether
the United States would have
the power to block the release of
some detainees.
According to a senior U.S. of-
cial, a key element to the agree-
ment is that the Afghans can
invoke a procedure that ensures
prisoners considered danger-
ous would not be released. The
agreement also includes a provi-
sion that allows the two sides
to work together to resolve any
differences. The ofcial lacked
authorization to discuss the de-
tails of the agreement publicly
and spoke on condition of ano-
nymity.
Transfer of the Parwan de-
tention center is critical to the
ongoing effort to gradually shift
control of the countrys security
to the Afghans as the United
States and allies move toward
the full withdrawal of combat
troops by the end of 2014.
Afghans demanded control of
the center, but U.S. ofcials have
worried that the most threaten-
ing detainees would be freed
once the United States trans-
ferred control. Defense Secre-
tary Chuck Hagel spoke with
Afghan President Hamid Karzai
Saturday as ofcials nalized
the agreement after days of in-
tense negotiations.
The senior ofcial said U.S.
and Afghan ofcials who are fa-
miliar with the detainees would
meet to assess the potential dan-
ger of their release to coalition
forces.

Outspoken
Russian
ex-oligarch
found dead
Self-exiled Berezovsky had a
bitter falling out with Russian
President Vladimir Putin.
LONDON Boris Ber-
ezovsky, a self-exiled and out-
spoken former Russian oligarch
who had a bitter falling out with
Russian President Vladimir Pu-
tin, was found dead Saturday in
southeast England. He was 67.
Thames Valley police said his
death was being treated as unex-
plained. They would not directly
identify him, but when asked
about him by name they read a
statement saying they were in-
vestigating the death of a 67-year-
old man at a property in Ascot, a
town 25 miles west of London.
A mathematician-turned-
Mercedes dealer, Berezovsky
amassed his wealth during Rus-
sias chaotic privatization of
state assets in the early 1990s.
In return for backing former
Russian President Boris Yeltsin,
he gained political clout and op-
portunities to buy state assets at
knockdown prices.
But the one-time Kremlin pow-
erbroker fell out with Putin and
sought political asylumin Britain
in the early 2000s. He has lived in
the U.K. ever since.
Last year, the exiled business-
man was ordered to pay $53.3
million in legal costs to fellow
Russian Roman Abramovich af-
ter losing a multimillion-dollar
legal battle against the billion-
aire.
Berezovsky had claimed that
Abramovich cheated him out of
his stakes in the oil group Sib-
neft, arguing that he blackmailed
him into selling the stakes vastly
beneath their true worth after he
lost Putins good graces. But a
judge threw out the case in Au-
gust, ruling that Berezovsky was
a dishonest and unreliable wit-
ness.
tion for the circus kicks off the
event and is a very, very excit-
ing time. More than 150 Shri-
ners and other community mem-
bers join us to unload trailers
and start putting up bleachers
in anticipation of the big show,
Conrad said. And all their ef-
forts are voluntary.
The Shriners also are looking
forward to the arrival of the ani-
mals, which Conrad described as
very well cared for.
Animal-rights advocates have
in prior years demonstrated out-
side the venue. In 2010, during
the week-long series of shows in
the Wyoming Valley, an elephant
groomer was killed by the ani-
mal in an incident that amplied
calls for a ban on wild animal
acts.
This years circus also will in-
clude bears, which it has not in
previous years.
Cataldo Ky Saitta, potentate
of the Shriners, emphasized the
event as service to the communi-
ty. Many tickets have been giv-
en out for free to those in need,
Saitta said, and we are very hap-
py we are able to do that.
Area school groups are invited
for special free performances on
Thursday and Friday of circus
week. Many of those attendees
have not been to a circus before,
the volunteers said. When they
see the elephants, tigers and
brightly costumed performers,
their eyes get big, and they get
big smiles on their faces, Saitta
said.
The event includes conces-
sions and vendors, complete
with such favorites as hot dogs,
popcorn, soda and cotton candy.
Asked about his favorite
event, Conrad said, I like every-
thing about the circus. He then
added, but especially the high-
wire act.

Farver and Michael Kreidler.
Hanover Area, which ac-
cording to state data is the
second-smallest district by
enrollment though just
barely, compared to Lake-
Lehman also has only four
candidates running for four
seats: newcomer Stacy Ann
McGovern and incumbents
Lorraine Heydt, Evelyn Lar-
son Evans and Frank Ciava-
rella Jr.
But district size is clearly
not the only factor in deter-
mining competitive political
races.
Wyoming Area, with only
200 more students than Lake-
Lehman, has the second-high-
est number of candidates,
nine vying for four seats: John
Bonin, Kimberly Yochem,
Michael Brown, Toni Valenti,
Ree Ree DeLuca, Jerry Stofko
and Nick DeAngelo will com-
pete with incumbents John
Marianacci and John Bolin.
Crestwood, which has
about 500 more students than
Wyoming Area, managed only
ve candidates for four seats:
incumbents Eric Aideldinger
and Norb Dotzel and new-
comers Maureen McGovern,
Peter Strecker and Randy
Swank.
Hazleton Area, with by far
the largest enrollment and
the largest physical size, mus-
tered eight candidates for four
seats: incumbents Clarence
John, Steve Hahn, Robert
Mehalick and Carmella Yen-
kevich are joined by Thomas
Chirico, James Chapman, Jar-
ed ODonnell and Frederick
Mariano.
Issues fuel interest
Sosar pointed out that Ha-
zleton might exemplify the
ebb and ow of interest in
races, often red by either
specic issues building
construction or taxes, say
or by frustration with incum-
bents.
You may have well-known
names that have been around
long enough to be hated, So-
sar said. But issues tend to be
the biggest reason for compe-
tition.
Personally, I believe its
always based on issues, he
said. If you are talking about
buildings or taxes or things
like that, there are issues that
will interest or iname peo-
ple.
Construction of the new
Hazleton Area High School,
completed in 1992, was a
key issue behind several suc-
cessful candidates in the late
1980s, Sosar noted. Yenkev-
ich rose to prominence in the
mid-1990s as the president
of a PTA who increasingly
fought for student issues,
while Hahn became a winning
candidate after the rise in the
late 1990s of a taxpayer group
that, at one point, could eas-
ily drawseveral hundred to its
meetings.
But guessing which issue
will draw candidates is risky
at best.
Wilkes-Barre Area has the
most competitive race this
year, 10 candidates for four
seats. Yet, when the school
board was arguably at its low
point thanks toarrests of three
members or former members
on federal corruption charges
in 2009, the candidate list was
smaller: eight contenders, the
same as in 2011.
Theres one other reason
school board races might not
draw lots of contenders: Un-
like most political positions,
there is no pay for what Sosar
contends is a thankless job.
I dont know that you can
be a winner, he said.
You can win the seat, but
youve either got the unions
against you because of cuts
you have to make or the gen-
eral public against you be-
cause of tax increases.

Rose Hometchko
Four years ago we celebrated your birthday
at Theos Metro.
You had a smile and wonderful news to tell me.
A few days ago you were given the
second report - Remission.
You just needed to build your strength.
Happiness disapated less than a week later.
Hospital admission and pain forced your
disbelief.
When you asked to go to Jefferson I was relieved.
You squeezed my hand when you got there.
Somehow you thought I exaggerated my
experiences there.
But you realized in a short time the
wonderful care they gave,
Especially when doctors called you at the
Bed and Breakfast.
I was told, but not you, that you were not
in remission.
I miss not being able to hug and kiss you.
Just to hear your voice would give me such joy.
So now I have a multitude of memories to
keep me company.
And then there is Saki! Yes, just like Scooter,
he is spoiled.
Your spirit or energy lives on in us,
in the universe.
You gave so much to others, I am sure
changed them.
So, yes, you will always be remembered.
I feel your presence around me every day.
So many memories of places we went and
things we did together.
Part of me is with you; part of you is with me.
Forever Entwined.
Love, Mom and Saki

WASHINGTONNobodys go-
ing to win an Emmy for a parody
of the TV show Star Trek lmed
by Internal Revenue Service em-
ployees at an agency studio in
Maryland.
Instead, the IRS got a rebuke
from Congress for wasting tax-
payer dollars.
The agency says the video,
along with a training video that
parodied the TV show Gilligans
Island, cost about $60,000. The
Star Trek video accounted for
most of the money, the agency
said.
The IRS said Friday it was a
mistake for employees to make the
six-minute video. It was shown at
the opening of a 2010 training and
leadership conference but does not
appear to have any training value.
The video features an elaborate
set depicting the control room, or
bridge, of the spaceship featured
in the hit TV show. IRS workers
portray the characters, including
one who plays Mr. Spock, com-
plete with fake hair and pointed
ears.
The production value is high
even though the acting is what one
might expect from a bunch of tax
collectors. In the video, the space-
ship is approaching the planet
Notax, where alien identity theft
appears to be a problem.
The IRS recognizes and takes
seriously our obligation to be good
stewards of government resources
and taxpayer dollars, the agency
said in a statement. There is no
mistaking that this video did not
reect the best stewardship of re-
sources.
The agency said it has tightened
controls over the use of its produc-
tion equipment to ensure that all
IRS videos are handled in a judi-
cious manner that makes wise use
of taxpayer funds while ensuring
a tone and theme appropriate for
the nations tax system.
The agency also said, A video
of this type would not be made
today.
The video was released late in
the day Friday after investigators
from the House Ways and Means
Committee requested it.
There is nothing more infu-
riating to a taxpayer than to nd
out the government is using their
hard-earned dollars in a way that
is frivolous, said Rep. Charles
Boustany, R-La., chairman of the
Ways and Means oversight sub-
committee.
back in 1992. She moved to
the Blackman Street tent a few
years later and became a regular
ower-selling xture in Wilkes-
Barre. She said she is proud to
have worked with the grower as
its reputation blossomed.
The company has grown in
21 years. I hope to think I had
something to do with it, she
said
The Flower Tent has over 100
franchises in eight states. Chief
greenhouse grower Craig White
said the cold weather makes
Easter distribution a little tricky.
The tents are open during Eas-
ter week, from March 23 until
March 31 this year, and because
Saturday was so cold, they held
some of the more delicate ow-
ers inside their greenhouses on
Shoemaker Street, Wyoming.
White saidafter shippingow-
ers to their franchisees, some as
far south as North Carolina and
Georgia, they will have cleared
out about one third of their
nearly-four acres of glass-en-
closed greenhouse space. White
strolled through the warm, hu-
mid greenhouse, past rows of
tables topped with thousands
of owers growing in Mothers
Day anticipation. White said,
logistically, the persistent cold
makes it harder to move owers
because they have to coordinate
multiple deliveries.
At The Flower Tent along Wy-
oming Ave., Wyoming, green-
house franchise manager Bon-
nie Witkosky chatted with a few
co-workers on opening day. Wit-
kowsky said this time of year,
interested Flower Tent franchis-
ers are shooting up everywhere.
She receives as many as ve
inquiries each day from people
interested in grafting into The
Flower Tents success.
Tim Ansilio, Wyoming Green-
houses co-owner, said the com-
pany holds their franchisees to
strict standards. They are not
allowed to sell to big-box stores
and must nd greenhouse sup-
pliers who meet their qual-
ity guidelines. Ansilio said his
brother, co-owner Tom Jr., per-
sonally inspects each franchise
supplier to make sure their ow-
ers are up to par.
Ansilio said generally, the
growers fare well during earlier,
colder Easters. He said their yel-
low tents have a reputation for
reasonable prices and quality
owers, so they are not worried
about the cold keeping custom-
ers away.
Reisinger has worked early
Easters before and said, even in
the snow, customers still clean
them out. She said cold weath-
er does not dampen her Easter
spirit.
I remember one year we built
a snowbunny instead of a snow-
man (outside the tent), Reis-
inger said. brought a little
carrot for its mouth. I was into
it.
She was just getting back from
an errand Saturday morning and
hardly had time to put on her
glasses as the earliest customers
stood in line with ower pots in
hand.
Ansilio said it is good to have
Reisinger back on the team.
Were very happy to have
Kimi back, Ansilio said. When
she was with us in the past, she
was one of our best operators.

Homicide-plagued Kansas City tries new tactic
KANSAS CITY, Mo. De-
spite decades of initiatives to
stem violent crime, Kansas
City residents continue killing
one another at a rate ve times
higher than the national aver-
age, prompting ofcials in this
Midwest city best known for
barbecue and jazz to turn to an
alternative law-enforcement
approach that offers incentives
to convicted and would-be
criminals to change their ways.
Zero-tolerance policies
havent worked, police say,
and theres little evidence that
public-awareness rituals or an-
ti-violence coalitions have had
any impact on an annual mur-
der count that has been below
100 only nine times in the past
44 years.
But local leaders think their
newest assault onviolent crime
patterned after a focused-
deterrence model created in
Boston in the mid-1990s and
rened over the years by cities
such as Indianapolis, Cincin-
nati and Los Angeles might
nally change things.
Its the rst time Ive felt
this kind of energy when do-
ing something like this, said
Darryl Forte, Kansas Citys
rst black police chief and a
lifelong resident of the city.
Imcondent this will have an
impact.
Kansas Citys effort, dubbed
the No Violence Alliance, or
NoVA, was created more than
a year ago, soon after Fortes
promotion to chief. The U.S.
attorneys ofce, county pros-
ecutor and law-enforcement
authorities are on board, as
are the University of Missouri-
Kansas City and various social-
services agencies.
Focused deterrence is a
carrot-and-stick approach in
which members of a criminal
network even those on the
fringes who havent yet com-
mitted serious crimes are
identied and sought out by
police who want them to know
their actions can have unin-
tended consequences for oth-
ers in their cliques.
Sometime soon, about 80
criminals on probation or pa-
role will be brought together
in groups of 20 to meet with
prosecutors and law-enforce-
ment agents who will explain
the ramications of the new
program.
Those who want to pull
away from criminal afliations
will be offered social services
to help them do so. Prosecu-
tors will send a strong mes-
sage to the others that authori-
ties know who they are, what
theyve done, and that they
will be held accountable if any-
one in their network commits
a violent crime.
For those on the bubble, a
lot of them want to do whats
right, Forte said.
The focused-deterrence ap-
proach has been successful
in other cities, according to a
study released early last year.
Researchers with the Campbell
Collaboration, an international
research network, reported
that nine of 10 Ceasere-like
programs they studied experi-
enced strong and statistically
signicant crime reductions
associated with the approach.
A U.S. Justice Department
evaluation of Bostons Cease-
re program found a 63 per-
cent reduction in the monthly
count of youth homicides, a
25 percent reduction in the
monthly count of citywide
gun-assault incidents, a 32 per-
count of citywide shots-red
calls for service, and a 44 per-
count of youth gun assaults in
selected high-risk districts.
David Kennedy, a professor
at John Jay College of Crimi-
nal Justice in New York who
helped develop Bostons pro-
gram, said interest in focused
deterrence has risen sharply in
recent years in cities that have
found typical arrest-and-detain
approaches arent working.
It wasnt that long ago
when you couldnt get anyone
to take this stuff seriously at
all, he said.
Leno lobs as NBC tries to make nice
LOS ANGELES Jay Leno
is keeping up a comedy assault
on his NBC bosses even after
being treated to a make-nice
dinner.
During his monologue Fri-
day, the Tonight Show host
asked his Burbank studio audi-
ence if theyd heard about his
alleged feud with NBC.
Leno started taking on-air
potshots at the network this
month amid reports that the
network plans to replace him at
Tonight with Jimmy Fallon.
According to a NBC tran-
script from Fridays taping,
Leno said he had dinner Thurs-
day with a bunch of NBC ex-
ecutives who offered to make
things up to him: He and his
wife are going on an all-ex-
penses-paid Carnival Cruise, he
joked.
In February, passengers en-
dured ve nightmarish days on
a crippled Carnival Cruise ship
in the Gulf of Mexico.
In another wisecrack, Leno
cited news reports of a Canadi-
an man who had a knife pulled
from his back after three years.
Sniped Leno: He must have
worked at NBC, too.
NBC conrmed this week its
creating a new studio for Fallon
in New York, where he hosts
Late Night. But the network
did not comment on a report
that the digs at its Rockefeller
Plaza headquarters might be-
come home to a transplanted,
Fallon-hosted Tonight.
This isnt the rst time the
Tonight stage has been used
for a workplace dispute. In
2010, when Conan OBrien
briey took over as Tonight
host and Leno was moved to
prime-time at NBC, the two
traded on-air barbs.
Although late-night hosts
are known for needling their
network bosses, the timing of
Lenos latest jabs seemed to
make NBCs executives particu-
larly uncomfortable, and they
asked him to stop. They dont
want a repeat of the publicly
messy turnover of only three
years ago.
The 62-year-old Lenos con-
tract expires next year. For
NBC, the 38-year-old Fallon
represents a bid to launch a
next-generation host for To-
night though Leno has kept
the show No. 1 in the ratings
despite a challenge fromJimmy
Kimmels ABC show, which
was moved back an hour to
compete with it.
You know the whole legend
of St. Patrick, right? St. Patrick
drove all the snakes out of Ire-
land and then they came to
the United States and became
NBC executives, Leno joked
on Mondays show.
On Tuesday, he played off
a news report about a Serbian
woman with a rare brain condi-
tion that causes her to see the
world upside down: Isnt that
crazy? Its unbelievable. She
sees everything upside down.
In fact, she thinks NBC is at the
top of the ratings.
As replacement rumors y,
Tonight Show hosts network
wisecracks are fast, furious.

Barre and the 650-acre Moon
Lake Park in Plymouth Town-
ship without draining county
funds earmarked for mandated
government services and more
than $400 million in debt repay-
ments.
County Manager Robert
Lawton recently told council
he soon will present options on
county-owned property. The
home-rule charter says council
makes real-estate decisions, in-
cluding sales.
Valley Crest
The county has unsuccess-
fully tried to sell the 62.35-
acre property since the private
nursing-home operator moved
into a new facility in 2010. The
Salvation Army backed out of its
plan to buy the building for $4.7
million for an adult rehabilita-
tion center after the township
refused to grant a zoning vari-
ance. No buyers surfaced when
the property was put on the
market a second time.
The law requires the county
to seek the appraised value, or
$4.136 million. If there are no
offers at that amount, a prospec-
tive buyer would have to obtain
an appraisal and then work with
the county appraiser on a com-
promise.
Some county ofcials have
expressed interest in using the
property to house non-judicial
ofces, arguing centralizing of-
ces would be more efcient
and save on overhead. That op-
tion might require demolition
and construction because the
building, though structurally
sound, would need millions of
dollars in renovations to retrot
it for government ofces.
Council can list the property
for sale again or demolish the
building and hold onto the land
for possible county reuse or
sale, Gibbons said.
The property is ideal for a
government campus because it
is centralized and near major
interstates, but county ofcials
would have to wait until nanc-
es improve, he said.
Springbrook Water Co.
The county acquired the four-
story ofce building at 30 N.
Franklin St. in 2005 in a pack-
age of former watershed prop-
erty previously owned by Theta
Land Corp., and two potential
buyers backed out.
The county had to stabilize
the roof to stop leaks two years
ago and sanitized the property
because homeless people had
broken into the building and
defecated there.
Val-Mar
Former county commission-
ers Todd Vonderheid and Greg
Skrepenak voted to buy the
former bank building on Broad
Street, Hazleton, for $700,000
to house a southern county
annex that never material-
ized. The purchase was heavily
criticized because the seller
Val-Mar Holdings had paid
$330,000 to buy the property
in 2005, about two years before
the county acquired it, and
seemingly had done little, if any,
work on the structure.
Because no buyers surfaced,
the county plans to convey
the property to Hazleton in
exchange for the citys forgive-
ness of a $290,000 lien against
the county-owned Broad Street
Exchange. The county has re-
moved an addition to the build-
ing to create parking spaces.
The county acquired the
Broad Street Exchange, also on
Broad Street, to keep it out of
a back-tax auction that would
have caused the county to lose
a $1.8 million community-
development loan on the prop-
erty. The building, which once
housed the Deisroth depart-
ment store, is almost fully oc-
cupied and might be sold next
year when another outstanding
lien expires. Sale proceeds must
return to the county loan fund.
Hazleton Mayor Joseph Yan-
nuzzi said the city will seek
proposals from private entities
interested in purchasing the for-
mer bank. Plans to house the city
police department in the build-
ing have been scrapped because
of the citys nancial struggles,
he said.
River Common
The $23 million park includes
a 750-seat amphitheater and riv-
er landing/shing pier that seats
thousands. The county funds
maintenance of the recreational
components but relies on the
volunteer Riverfront Parks Com-
mittee to handle event program-
ming and fundraising.
Obtaining sponsors to hold
public and private events at the
park continues to be a struggle,
said Vincent Cotrone, the com-
mittees volunteer director. The
community was given a gift by
the feds. The U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers built this recreational
amenity, he said, and we strug-
gle to use it and program it prop-
erly.
Cotrone said he understands
the city and county wont pro-
vide funding for programming
because both have money is-
sues.
We do what we can with what
little we have, said Cotrone. As
a committee, we dont have the
staff or funding to program it
constantly.
The parks fth season event
lineup will include the popu-
lar RiverFest and likely a chalk
festival for children. The Irem
Shrine Circus also plans to have
an event at noon April 2.
But Cotrone said he is hoping
other organizations and busi-
nesses will step up to sponsor
concerts, events and private
functions. Insurance coverage
is required, and applications to
have events can be obtained at
riverfrontparks.org.
We need other entities to re-
alize this is a great venue and go
ahead and use it, Cotrone said.
Moon Lake Park
The county has budgeted
about $66,000 to keep the park
open daily from the rst day of
trout season in April through the
end of October for passive rec-
reational activities such as sh-
ing, biking and hiking that dont
require the county stafng and
oversight of no-longer-available
swimming, camping and nature
center programs.
The county is seeking a grant
to install a boat launch.
County ofcials hope contin-
ued investment in passive ac-
tivities will increase attendance
enough to spark outside inter-
est in providing more activities
through a public-private partner-
ship.
Phil Russo, who serves on
county councils new Recre-
ational Facilities Advisory
Board along with Cotrone, said
he wants to nd ways to beef
up maintenance and repairs at
Moon Lake. Its been let go. The
infrastructure has deteriorated
tremendously, said Russo, an
Exeter resident who regularly
shes at the park. I want to keep
Moon Lake on the front-burner.
Council Chairman Tim Mc-
Ginley said he looks forward to
discussions on options for all
county-owned property, particu-
larly those returning property
to the tax rolls. County ofcials
must determine plans for vacant
structures and recreational ame-
nities that provide the best ben-
et to the cash-strapped county,
he said.
Its a just a daunting task
right now with our nancial situ-
ation, McGinley said.
Vacant land
Gibbons said he is develop-
ing a policy on how to identify
the properties, publicize their
availability for sale and accept
purchase offers. One possibility
is a public sale similar to back-
tax auctions that typically draw
large crowds of bidders. Most of
the parcels are small and of in-
terest only to adjacent property
owners.
We want to make sure the
process is very transparent and
that theres equal opportunity for
everyone to bid on property and
acquire it, he said.
Repository
Properties that didnt sell at
back-tax auctions stay in the
owners names until they are
sold, but the county is somewhat
liable because the owners have
walked away. Northeast Revenue
Service LLC, the countys tax-
claimoperator, recently assigned
an employee to evaluate each of
the properties to try to attract
buyers. The company also plans
to reach out to municipalities
urging them to help market
these properties.
A list of the properties, avail-
able for as low as $500 each, is
posted at www.luzernecounty-
taxclaim.com.

SPRINGBROOK WATER CO. BUILDING: Two potential buyers
backed out of deals to buy this building on Franklin Street in
Wilkes-Barre.

passive recreational activities will increase use enough to

and said there was a piece in
the paper and hes tired of it,
she said, apparently referring
to a letter to the editor from
Wilkes-Barre resident Charlotte
Raup regarding Aleos case that
appeared in Thursdays edition
of The Times Leader. He asked
me if I wanted it back. I said if it
will stop all the trouble, Ill take
it back.
City council in January recom-
mended Mayor Tom Leighton
terminate Glodziks contract
based on Aleos case and other
complaints. Councilman Tony
George, who has pressed the is-
sue, has asked for updates, but no
action has been taken yet.
Aleos case drew attention after
allegations arose that Glodziktold
her she would have to pay nearly
$2,000 in towing and storage fees
to recover the vehicle, despite a
provision in the citys towing con-
tract that says the tower cannot
charge victims of crime.
The car was stolen in Wilkes-
Barre on Dec. 10 and recovered in
Plymouth the next day. Due to an
oversight by the Wilkes-Bare Po-
lice Department, she was never
notied the car had been found
until about Jan. 16, when Glodzik
called her.
Glodzik repeatedly has reject-
ed the claim that he told Aleo
the fees were for storage. He con-
tends he told her the engine was
blown and that the gure he quot-
ed was an estimate of the cost to
x the car. In an interview last
month Aleo disputed those com-
ments, saying the LAG employee
she spoke with made it clear the
fees were for storage and towing.
Aleo said she did not attempt
to start the car Saturday because
the vehicle had signicant front-
end damage that would have
been too costly to repair.
Glodzik never mentioned the
front-end damage in several in-
terviews with The Times Leader.
Aleo said Saturday she does re-
call an LAG employee did men-
tion something about the hood
when she rst went to pick up the
car in January. She did not know
how bad the damage was until
she saw the car Saturday.
A copy of the Plymouth Police
report issued when the vehicle
was found could not be obtained
Saturday.
Aleo said Glodzik offered to
tow the car somewhere for her
to get a repair estimate, but she
decided it would be too expen-
sive and opted to junk it. Valentis
ScrapYardinEdwardsville picked
up the vehicle Saturday and paid
her $200, she said. A reporter lo-
cated the vehicle at Valentis Sat-
urday afternoon and conrmed it
had front-end damage.
Aleo said shes happy she at
least got some money for the
car. She remains upset that the
person who stole it has not been
found. He would not see the
light of day when I got done
with him, she said.
CAR
Natalie Aleos 1993 Cutlass Ciera, which is at the heart of
price-gouging accusations against LAG Towing owner Leo
Glodzik III, was returned to her Saturday.
20 hours of votes and debate.
As the night wore on, virtu-
ally all senators remained in
the chamber, a rarity during
a normal business day. But at
that hour, most had nowhere
else to go.
The Senates budget would
shrink annual federal shortfalls
over the next decade to nearly
$400 billion, raise unspecied
taxes by $975 billion and cull
modest savings from domestic
programs.
In contrast, a rival budget ap-
proved by the GOP-run House
balances the budget within 10
years without boosting taxes.
That blueprint by House
Budget Committee Chairman
Paul Ryan, R-Wis., his partys
vice presidential candidate
last year claims $4 trillion
more in savings over the pe-
riod than Senate Democrats by
digging deeply into Medicaid,
food stamps and other safety-
net programs for the needy.
It also would transform the
Medicare health-care program
for seniors into a voucher-like
system for future recipients.
We have presented very
different visions for how our
country should work and who
it should work for, said Senate
Budget Committee Chairman
Patty Murray, D-Wash.
The long debate got testy at
times.
As the clock ticked past
1 a.m., Murray asked sena-
tors to show respect for col-
leagues who may not be able
to stand as long as us, or who
are elderly. Sen. David Vitter,
R-La., shot back that Republi-
cans were not trying to delay
anything and wondered what
ights or other appointments
would be missed if senators
voted until 7 a.m.
The loudest acclaim came
toward the end, when senators
rose as one to cheer a handful
of Senate pages high school
students for their work in
the chamber since the morn-
ings opening gavel. Senators
then left town for a two-week
spring recess.
Congressional budgets are
planning documents that leave
actual changes in revenues
and spending for later legisla-
tion, and this was the rst the
Democratic-run Senate has
approved in four years. That
lapse is testament to the po-
litical and mathematical con-
tortions needed to write scal
plans in an era of record-break-
ing decits, and to the parties
profoundly conicting views.
Republicans said the Demo-
cratic budget wasnt much of
an accomplishment. The only
good news is that the scal
path the Democrats laid out
wont become law, said Sen-
ate Republican Leader Mitch
McConnell of Kentucky.
I believe were in denial
about the nancial condition
of our country, Sen. Jeff Ses-
sions of Alabama, top Republi-
can on the Budget panel, said
of Democratic efforts to boost
spending on some programs.
Trust me, weve got to have
some spending reductions.
Though budget shortfalls
have shown signs of easing
slightly and temporarily, there
is no easy path for the two
parties to nd compromise
which the rst months of 2013
have amply illustrated.
Already this year, Congress
has raised taxes on the rich
after narrowly averting tax
boosts on virtually everyone
else, tolerated $85 billion in
automatic spending cuts, tem-
porarily sidestepped a federal
default and prevented a poten-
tial government shutdown.
By sometime this summer,
the governments borrowing
limit will have to be extended
again or a default will be at
risk and it is unclear what
Republicans might demand for
providing needed votes. It also
is uncertain how the two par-
ties will resolve the differences
between their two budgets,
something many believe sim-
ply wont happen.
Both sides have expressed
a desire to reduce federal
decits. But President Barack
Obama is demanding a com-
bination of tax increases and
spending cuts to do so, while
GOP leaders say they wont
consider higher revenues but
want serious reductions in
Medicare and other benet
programs that have rocketed
decits skyward.
Obama plans to release his
own 2014 budget next month,
an unveiling that will be stud-
ied for whether it signals a
willingness to engage Repub-
licans in negotiations or play
political hardball.
The amendments senators
considered during their long
day of debate were all nonbind-
BUDGET
Then in soccer, violin and aca-
demics and seemingly any-
thing else she put her mind to.
That ability to overcome and
accomplish has led Sledzinski,
19, to study occupational ther-
apy for a career that someday
soon will let her provide for oth-
ers what she received the rst
dozen years of her life.
When choosing a major for
college, the Scranton resident
knew she wanted to help peo-
ple. She initially went into the
physical-therapy program at
Misericordia University in Dal-
las Township. After a semester
she switched to occupational
therapy, and she said she knows
she made the right choice.
As a girl, Sledzinski trav-
eled to Shriners Hospitals for
Children in Philadelphia for
biweekly therapeutic sessions
with an occupational therapist.
Looking back, she had no idea
those sessions served a greater
purpose. When I was young, I
didnt know I was in therapy,
she says. I was just playing,
she said.
Because Sledzinski was born
without the lower half of her
right arm, coping is all shes
ever known. She probably
would have found it more dif-
cult if she lost the limb later
in life, she said. It also helped
that most of the people I grew
up with didnt treat me differ-
ently.
I really didnt notice any-
thing, she added.
Bullied in second grade
There was a bully in the sec-
ond grade who did notice, how-
ever. He was the rst person to
cause her to realize she was dif-
ferent.
Thats when I was having
a hard time with it, because a
boy was picking on me.
But then came the challenge
from her mom, Chris, to per-
form a cartwheel. I couldnt
do it, and it upset me, Sledz-
inski said. I just kept trying. It
didnt take me very long before
I could do it.
That was just the start of
allowing things to roll off her
back. I used to care about
what people thought of me but
not anymore. Now I push my-
self, she said, noting there are
times I forget I only have one
hand.
Anything Ive ever wanted
to do, Ive been able to do, she
said with a smile.
Though she has a prosthetic
arm, she rarely uses it, other
than to play the violin. Mostly,
it sits in a closet at her parents
house in West Scranton.
She said it brings too much
attention to her, and she just
doesnt need it.
For a long time, before her
condence level grew, she
would try to hide her arm, ei-
ther by putting it in her pocket
or having a friend walk to her
right so it was slightly obstruct-
ed from view. But as she aged
she became less self-conscious
about her arm, and hiding it
became a rarity.
Positive mindset
While she might look differ-
ent, Sledzinski said, it doesnt
mean she has to act differently.
She hopes that mindset will
resonate with her future pa-
tients when she becomes an
occupational therapist.
I want to be someones
hope, she said.
Shes had complete support
from her parents, Chris and
Bob, 16-year-old sister, Mor-
gan, and two older step-sib-
lings, she said.
The occupational therapy
program at Misericordia is
very competitive. Grace Fisher,
the chairwoman of the depart-
ment and an associate profes-
sor, praised Sledzinski for her
dedication and courage.
Kaitlyn is a highly dedicated
and responsible occupational
therapy student, said Fisher.
She is truly devoted to help-
ing others. Her independent,
thoughtful and helping spirit
are sure to be an inspiration to
those who receive occupational
therapy services from her in
the future.
I am very glad she is in our
OT program, she said.
Next on Sledzinskis list of
challenges is to learn to drive
a vehicle with a standard trans-
mission a stick-shift.
She has no doubt shell be
able.
KAITLYN
Kaitlyn Sledzinski, 19, studies occupational therapy at Misericordia University in Dallas Town-
ship.
While she wants to help
people of all ages, Kaitlyn
Sledzinski said, shell hold a
special place in her heart for
pediatric patients.
The occupational therapy stu-
dent at Misericordia University
said she hopes her story and
abilities to succeed despite
missing most of her right arm
will resonate with younger,
more impressionable patients.
I hope that by helping them,
they could see how much
they could accomplish if they
wanted to, said Sledzinski,
who will turn 20 tomorrow.
While she has the utmost
respect for the occupational
therapist who worked with her
and for others in the eld, she
said, what shes able to bring to
the table is not something that
can be taught in classrooms or
through textbooks.
I feel like I have a better
understanding than someone
who has not had a disability or
a condition, said Sledzinski, a
2011 graduate of West Scranton
High School.
Its hard not to feel sympa-
thetic. Im going to feel that
way for some people, but Im
also not going to let them
convince me they cannot do
something. I will help them
nd that condence they need
to have.
Hearing someone tell her
she couldnt do something only
motivated her to try harder, she
said, and that attitude, along
with a strong support system of
friends and family, was enough
to make the difference.

So we have a Jesuit pope. First one
ever: Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of
Argentina. That means the Society of
Jesus, which is the full name for the Je-
suit order of priests, is in the spotlight
in a big way. Along with the renewed
attention for an order once considered
renegade within the Catholic Church
come questions about who Jesuits are
exactly, what they stand for and how
theyve managed, on occasion, to get
themselves into hot water with the
Holy See.
We sat down with a local Jesuit
priest, the Rev. Richard G. Malloy, S.J.,
the jean-jacket-wearing, lake-shing,
ballcap-topped vice president for mis-
sion and ministry at The University of
Scranton, one of the nations 28 Jesuit
institutions of higher education. Mal-
loy is a scholar and author he wrote
A Faith That Frees: Catholic Matters
for the 21st Century and ruminates on
Catholicism on jesuitjottings.blogspot.
comand heads the University Minis-
tries Division, which includes Campus
Ministries, the International Service
Program and the Community Outreach
Ofce. Malloy, 57, also teaches cultural
anthropology at the university, where
he lives in a freshman dormitory. Ask
him about that some time.
Times Leader: Whats different
about the Jesuits?
Malloy: Jesuits are fascinated by
God. St. Ignatius Loyola (who founded
the Society of Jesus in 1539) pushed to
seek a spirituality in all things.
He added Jesuits are known for
founding educational institutions, such
as universities, serving the poor and
advocating for social and economic jus-
tice. In addition to the vows of poverty,
chastity and obedience, Jesuits do vow
to obey the pope. (So thats one reason
to dismiss that renegade notion.)
I think one of the things Jesuits do
is we dialogue with the culture. We
help them discover where God is.
TL: Why did it take so long for a
Jesuit to become pope?
Malloy: Jesuits generally do not as-
pire to higher ofce, making even a Je-
suit bishop a rarity. They will, however,

The University of Scranton, a Jesuit
school, talks about the role of Jesu-
its within the Catholic Church at his
ofce on campus, where he also lives
in a freshman dorm.
SO THE POPE
IS A JESUIT, BUT
Previous popes have
punished Jesuit theolo-
gians for being too pro-
gressive in preaching and
teaching. The last pontiff,
Benedict XVI, sent a polite
but rm letter inviting the
orders worldwide mem-
bers to pledge total adhe-
sion to Catholic doctrine,
including on divorce,
homosexuality and libera-
tion theology.
The Jesuits push a
social-justice agenda, and
their work with the poor
in Latin America in the
late 20th century sparked
worries in the Vatican
that they were embracing Marxist
political movements.
Some Jesuits, especially in the
United States and the Netherlands,
questioned papal pronouncements
on birth control, priestly
celibacy and the ban on
women priests.

FEELING THE

The Society of Jesus -
as the Jesuits are formally
known - has about 19,200
members in 112 countries,
down from a peak of
some 36,000 in the 1960s.
The Jesuits were dis-
banded by Pope Clement
XIV in 1773 after political
pressure in Europe and
restored in 1814 by Pope
Pius VII.

What you might nd more inter-
esting is Remingtons own 42-Foot
Trip to Mexico.
In true there-and-back-again
style, she used sketches and notes
to detail her 1991 expedition from
the Northeastern United States to
Mexico, where she and other ama-
teur astronomers watched the total
eclipse of the sun.
Lined up one after the other, note-
book-size pages take up 42 horizon-
tal feet of the Suraci Gallerys walls.
They explain how Remington set
off on June 25, 1991, driving south
through Shenandoah and Smokey
Mountain National Park, and record-
ing her impressions the hitch-
hiking deer with fuzzy antlers, the
snake museum, the miniature-golf
attraction, even the pieces of tire
that had fallen off the wheels of big
trucks.
Landof thekiller trucks, Reming-
ton noted, along with more peaceful
images of sunowers, cabin with
laundry hanging on fence and a bird
called a scissor-tailed ycatcher.
Sipping from a cup of coffee she
called the staff of life, Reming-
ton, who lives in Thompson, Wayne
County, fortied herself with caf-
feine and reminisced last week as
gallery director Sandra Povse put
nishing touches on the exhibit.
When she reached El Paso back
in the summer of 1991, Remington
said, she parked her car and boarded
a bus with a group led by professor
Grady Blount from the University of
North Dakota.
Everywhere, she found inspira-
tion for sketches, from passengers
awaiting a replacement bus because
an air-conditioner had broken to a
sculpture of Cuauhtemoc, last chief
of the Aztecs, to a statue of Jesus
Christ at a shrine.
She captured images of the friend-
ly Mennonites who fed the adventur-
ers a meal in a big, cool kitchen as
well as Mexican children who played
in the street.
She was such a darling, Reming-
ton said, pointing to a drawing of a
little girl and her dog, remembering.
The kids would come and follow
you, holding your hands.
This is a sign I sawthere, the art-
ist said, pointing to a block of care-
ful lettering: Hallo! Do you want to
practice Spanish by hour?
Another panel showed natives
who could run for miles barefoot.
Theyre dancing with beads or bells
on their ankles, Remington said.
This man was selling hats, she
said, pointing to her sketch of a gen-
tlemen who had piled about 10 hats,
one atop the other, on his head.
Near the town of El Divisadero,
Remington stayed in a motel built
on the ledge of Copper Canyon and
sketched the fog as it rose from the
famous gorge.
Representatives of NASA were

Tired of
Taxes to rise
15 percent and
roads torn up
again leaping
out at you from
the front page
of your Sunday
paper?
return with us now to the glory
days of newspaper comic strips.
Yes, were going back to the time
when Sunday meant a big thick
paper wrapped in endless color-
ful sheets of comics, instead of a
litany of threats to your wallet and
peace of mind.
Heres the catch, though. Youre
going to have to identify the old
comics by name after i give you
a description. Answers are below.
dont peek: cheating isnt funny.
One: An irishman, new to the
upper classes, keeps outraging his
social climbing wife by dashing
down to dinty Moores for beer
and corned beef. Then she throws
a rolling pin at him.
Two: A dashing young knight
from King Arthurs court wields
his singing sword as he trav-
els the world to ght injustice.
He has a beautiful blonde wife
named Aleta, Queen of the Misty
isles. This strip was so incredibly
detailed, it was often given a full
page.
Three: A detective, thought to
be dead, wakes up in a cemetery
and reinvents himself as a terrify-
ing crime ghter, prowling the big
city in mask and trench coat. it
was done in 1940s lm noir style.
Four: A short-lived character
called The Wilkes-Barresaurus
was just one of hundreds of
gures appearing over the years
in this tale of life in the mountain
community of dogpatch. The
strip spawned a Broadway musical
and a popular high school theme
day.
Five: An intrepid police detec-
tive, using his two-way wrist
radio, battles a host of weird vil-
lains like flathead and Prune-
face. Aleta wasnt in this strip,
of course, but now i cant help
thinking about her.
Six: A downtrodden Army
enlisted man is the fall guy every
time something goes wrong. Hint:
its NoT Beetle Bailey.
Seven: The nonsense word
foo bedecked this absurdist strip
about a reghter and his pals.
Hint: A top pro football player of
the 1960s used the same name.
Eight: i really liked this tale of
an adventurer who traveled to the
planet Mongo and fought Ming
the Merciless, all in the company
of his pretty girlfriend dale Arden.
But ill never be unfaithful to you,
Aleta from the Misty isles.
Nine: Heres one thats still
around. Centered on a married
couple, it features a husband who
makes enormous sandwiches and
knocks the mailman down when
he rushes out of the house in the
morning.
Well, ive got to stop at nine
because im running out of space.
do your best.
dum de dum!
oK here are the answers: One
- Bringing up father (sometimes
incorrectly called Maggie and
Jiggs); Two - Prince Valiant
(Why did he run off to ght
barbarians when he had Aleta?);
Three - The Spirit (real name
denny Colt); Four - Lil Abner
(anybody recall Sadie Hawkins
day?); Five - dick Tracy (The
most interesting villains of all
time lived here); Six - Sad Sack
(anybody whos ever been an en-
listed man can identify with this
fellow); Seven - Smokey Stover
(Personally, i didnt enjoy it much,
but oh that Aleta); Eight - flash
Gordon (described as a Yale grad);
Nine: - Blondie (it gave rise to
a series of hilarious movies in the
1940s.)
Well those days are gone. only
the pallid remnants of Sundays
past remain, and we must grow
up and accept as adults all the
changes life brings. Certainly i
will.
You know, i think ill head down
to the travel agency tomorrow
morning. ive always wanted to
see the Misty isles.

M: i wish we were as radical as people

But he added the Jesuits have had a con-

The Jesuits had schools all over europe.
Some powerful people didnt like what the
Jesuits were doing in the New World, Por-
tugal. in 1773, the pope (Clement XiV) said
no more Jesuits. france and Spain mur-
dered priests. in 1814, Catherine the Great
kept a icker of the Society alive.
He noted some Jesuits in more recent
memory were indeed radical, such as the
rev. daniel Berrigan, who with his brother
Philip, a former Josephite priest, made the
fBis Ten Most Wanted list for their antiwar
protests during the Vietnam war, and the
rev. John dear, who was arrested scores of
times in anti-war and anti-nuclear-weapons
protests.

pushing the envelope.
TL: Are those the reasons Jesuits are
still controversial?
M: Jesuits are in Nogales (Arizona) and
Sonora (Mexico) on both sides of the bor-
der.
Jesuits are down there trying to advo-
cate for immigrants.
But most Jesuits just get up in the morn-
ing and go about their business serving oth-
ers.
The Jesuit way is we pray, then we serve
all for the glory of God. (Thats the Jesu-
it motto, by the way, and what the acronym
AMdG means: Ad Majorem dei Gloriam
for the greater glory of God. Youll some-
times see it inscribed in various locations
at Jesuit institutions or used in literature.)
TL: Why did you decide to become a
Jesuit?
M: i have found this incredible reality
within the Society of Jesus. i went to
Lafayette because they gave me money for
football. it was a curious set of circumstanc-
es. i ended up working in a nursing home
one summer. i was surprised at how much
fun it was to serve lunch to these people.
He explained he was able to gently pick
up one man who was dying to put him into
bed.
it brought joy to him. i thought about be-
ing a priest when i was little. (But) i kind of
bumbled into it.
early on, he served three years during a
turbulent time in osorno and Santiago in
Chile, when the government was torturing
people.
TL: Did you ever feel you were in dan-
ger?
M: osorno was like the Nebraska of
Chile. The people were nice. i asked to go
to Santiago. We had some people we dealt
with who were being chased. We helped
hide them.
No one really appreciates the rule of law
in the United States. Thats why i worry
about drones and things with the Patriot
Act. You realize things can go awry.

Great for Dog, Family and Location
Clackamas, OR
I had read articles about this product
and have a friend who had it in her
home. I love the look and feel of her
carpet and how well spills cleaned up for
her.We have a dog and live in Oregon,
so I was worried about muddy dog feet
tracking in soil for many months of the
year. No need to worry! It is an
awesome product!
Matches Bog, Hides Hair
Bellaire, MI
Love this carpet so far. I picked it out for
its color (it matches my dog) and the
stain resistance. I cant even see the dog
hair on it, which I totally love. I vacuum it
every other day just because I know the
hair is there, even though I dont see it.
Seems to be repelling even the dirt that
the dog brings in. In other words, I am
totally happy with this carpet!

said, yet some of them looked
through my beat-up, old tele-
scope.
Was the eclipse a mystical ex-
perience?
Everythings a mystical expe-
rience, Remington said.
Her sketches of the return
journey tell of a sudden rain-
storm that ooded the desert
and the wildlife that included
antelope, magpies and hun-
dreds of frogs hopping across a
road.
Back in El Paso, she discov-
ered her cars battery had died,
but she got a jump start and
drove on home.
Were going to meet again in
2017 in Cerulean, Kentucky,
Remington said with a grin,
noting the time and optimal
viewing location of another so-
lar eclipse. Shell be about 87 by
then but doesnt expect that to
stop her.
Other parts of the Marywood
exhibit showcase different chap-
ters of Remingtons life the
Bohemian years when she sat
in poet Allen Ginsbergs tiny
living room in New York, lis-
tening to him recite; the sailing
years when she worked on a
tourist vessel in New York Har-
bor; that time in the 1960s when
Robert Frosts daughter, Lesley
Frost, invited her along on a trip
to Spain.
I havent really seen all that
much of the world, she said
modestly.
Remington was born in Min-
nesota into an artistic family,
whose most famous member
might have been her grandfa-
thers cousin Frederic Reming-
ton, the cowboy artist. Her
father, Heck Remington, was
talented but couldnt support a
family with art during the De-
pression, so he turned to more
conventional ways of making a
living.
Barbara Remington eventu-
ally became an artist for Bal-
lantine books, which commis-
sioned her in the 1960s to create
cover art for the paperback
edition of The Hobbit when
it was to be distributed in the
United States.
She didnt have a chance to
read the story rst and ended
up inserting pumpkin-like fruits
into the branches of a tree and
letting emu-like creatures graze
below it. Reportedly, her pic-
ture was not among Tolkiens
favorite illustrations, but he
accepted it as something that
would attract readers attention
in America.
Despite the authors lack of
enthusiasm, Remington went
on to design covers for Tolk-
iens Lord of the Rings tril-
ogy as well and even crafted a
set of chess pieces in which the
good hobbits and the evil orcs
are all pawns. Horses, dragons
and Gandalf the wizard appear
among the pieces, and round-
windowed hobbit houses serve
as rooks.
The chess set is on display at
the gallery, as are many sketch-
es of musicians ranging from
classical to punk rockers.
Which type of music does she
prefer?
I like music, Remington
said, implying she likes it all.
On Monday night I was driv-
ing home, and it started to snow
terribly, but Ravels Bolero was
on the radio.
The artist swayed back and
forth, indicating the pounding
beat helped her get home.
It nished just as I pulled up.

ing some insight into a chess set she made that shows hobbits.

JESUIT HIGHER
EDUCATION
There are 28 Jesuit colleges
and universities in the United
States, located in 18 states
and the District of Columbia.
From Fordham University in
New York and Faireld Uni-
versity in Connecticut to the
University of San Francisco and
The University of Scranton,
the institutions include both
major research universities and
smaller colleges and universi-
ties, according to the Asso-
ciation of Jesuit Colleges and
Universities.
And, yes, they sure can play
basketball at some of these
Jesuit schools.
Just take a look at your 2013
NCAA Tournament Bracket and
youll see Jesuits and hoops can
go hand in hand. Tiny Gonzaga
University, in Spokane, Wash.,
is a Jesuit school named after
St. Aloysius Gonzaga and is a
No. 1 seed in the Big Dance.
Georgetown University, in
Washington, D.C., is a No. 2
seed, Marquette University, in
Milwaukee, Wis., is a No. 3, St.
Louis University, in St. Louis,
Mo., a No. 4, and Creighton
University, in Omaha, Neb., a
No. 7. All are Jesuit.
Wait didnt we forget Notre
Dame? And Villanova? Nope.
Holy Cross and Augustinian,
respectively. Catholic but not
Jesuit.
FAMOUS JESUITS
The Very Rev. Pedro
Arrupe, S.J. (19071991) 28th
Superior General (196583) of
the Society of Jesus. He led the
rst rescue party in Hiroshima
after the dropping of the atomic
bomb
The Rev. Daniel Berri-
gan, American political activist,
poet and professor at Fordham
University
Father William S.
Bowdern, S.J. (1897-1983)
was a Catholic priest of the
Society of Jesus in St. Louis,
Mo. He was the lead exorcist
in the exorcism of Roland Doe,
a 13-year-old Lutheran boy in
1949. The case became the
basis of William Peter Blattys
novel, The Exorcist. Bowdern
was assisted in the exorcism
by fellow Jesuit priest Father
Walter Halloran.
The Rev. John Dear, Ameri-
can Catholic priest, Christian
pacist, author and lecturer.
He has been arrested multiple
times in acts of nonviolent civil
disobedience against war, injus-
tice and nuclear weapons.
CINEMATIC JESUITS
The Exorcist, starring
Scrantons own Jason Miller.
He portrayed
a Jesuit in the
movie based
on the William
Peter Blatty
novel.
The
Mission,
starring Robert
De Niro. This Oscar-nominated
British lm tells the story of a
Spanish Jesuit mission in South
America in 1790. De Niro plays
a mercenary and slave driver
who kidnaps natives and sells
them to nearby plantations but
later travels with the Jesuits as
a penance.
JESUIT JOKES
JESUITS: An order of
priests known for their ability
to found colleges with good
basketball teams. (from A
Catholic Dictionary)
There is always a right
way and a wrong way to pro-
ceed: Two Jesuit novices both
wanted a cigarette while they
prayed. They decided to ask
their superior for permission.
The rst asked but was told no.
A little while later he spot-
ted his friend smoking. Why
did the superior allow you to
smoke but not me? he asked.
His friend replied, Because
you asked if you could smoke
while you prayed, and I asked if
I could pray while I smoked!
A Jesuit, a Dominican,
and a Franciscan were walking
along an old road, debating
the greatness of their orders.
Suddenly, an apparition of the
Holy Family appeared in front
of them, with Jesus in a manger
and Mary and Joseph praying
over him.
The Franciscan fell on his
face, overcome with awe at
the sight of God born in such
poverty.
The Dominican fell to his
knees, adoring the beautiful
reection of the Trinity and the
Holy Family.
The Jesuit walked up to
Joseph, put his arm around his
shoulder, and said, So, have
you thought about where to
send the boy to school?

The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult;
Atria/Emily Bestler Books (480
pages, $28.99)
Jodi Picoult is a familiar name
to those of us who race through
the Hudson News stores at the
airport just before we board a
plane. We are smug in our cer-
tainty we know what were
getting when we pluck one of
her novels from the pile. Her
prose goes down easy, and she
lls her stories with characters
confronted by moral quandaries
and life-changing decisions.
Thats certainly the case in
The Storyteller, which opens
with the narration of Sage Sing-
er, a lonely young baker who be-
friends a 95-year-old man in her
grief support group. A former
teacher and youth sports coach,
well respected in the commu-
nity, Josef Weber appears at rst
glance as though he might ful-
ll Sages deep need for human
contact.
But this is a Jodi Picoult nov-
el, and Josef presents Sage with
a dilemma worthy of the Life-
time Channel: He is a former SS
ofcer who confesses to killing
thousands of Jews. Her family
is Jewish. Their friendship is in
its infancy when he begs her to
kill him.
The mysteries of Sages back-
ground haunt the margins of
The Storyteller. Her mother
is dead, but details are hard to
come by. Minka, Sages Polish
grandmother, is a Holocaust
survivor, but her tale of survival
is all but unknown to her grand-
daughter. Sages good looks are
marred by recent and very vis-
ible scarring on her face, a jag-
ged lightning bolt splitting (its)
symmetry. Its a map of where
my life went wrong.
Picoult unspools the details
bits at a time, using multiple
narrators and time frames. In-
deed, there are several stories
that unfold in The Storyteller:
Sages, Josefs and her grand-
mothers. In addition, the saga
of Sage and Josef and Minka is
interspersed with another piece
of ction, one that spins out in
fairy-tale-like fashion.
Ania, the heroine of the story
within the story, is the daughter
of the village baker. Two men
vie for her attention: Damian,
the arrogant captain of the
guard, and Aleksander, an in-
triguing stranger who emerges
just as people start dying and
villagers start to whisper of
upiors the Polish version of
vampires. Eventually we learn
that Anias tale was crafted by
Minka, written during the years
she struggled to stay alive in the
camps. And its more than c-
tion; Minkas fairy tale mirrors
the destruction of her family
and her world.
I read about Ania, and her
father, Sage says, and hear my
grandmothers voice; I imagine
my great-grandfathers face. I
can smell the peat burning and
taste the ash on the bottom of
their bread.
In Minkas own harrowing
narrative, she recalls the loom-
ing specter of disappearance
and death; her symbiotic rela-
tionship with her Nazi overlord
at Auschwitz; and his obsession
with her writing, with the char-
acters of Ania and Aleksander, a
monster with remorse.
In a sense, Minka plays the
role of Scheherazade; when he
demands ten more pages it
seems likely she will live anoth-
er day. Its a familiar story arc
and yet it is the most compel-
ling part of the novel.
When Picoult brings us back
to the present day to conclude
The Storyteller, the plot starts
to sag again. But that doesnt
mean she has inicted a tidy
conclusion on her readers. Com-
plex moral questions are asked
When is a betrayal forgiv-
able? Does it matter if a monster
develops a conscience? and
there are as many answers as
there are readers. Thats the real
secret of Jodi Picoult. Scratch
the burnished surface of her
formulaic success and wisdom
emerges.
By Alice Short
Los Angeles Times
Moral quandaries, lost love and fairy tales
Manopause: Your Guide to
Surviving His Changing Life
(Hay House) is a decidedly fe-
male-centric book.
The subject, though, is all
men all the time specically
men greeting
midlife with
less than open
arms.
Aging for
todays men
is a some-
what unique
exper i ence,
says co-author
Lisa Friedman
Bloch. As recently as 1900, the
average male life span was a
mere 48 years. Because of that,
many of the physical and psy-
chological challenges faced by
midlife men today simply didnt
exist.
And now? Men are aging
out of the workforce, and facing
pressure to be lifelong providers
and unfailing sexual partners,
she says.
And this is a womans issue,
because
Every woman who has a
close relationship with a man
be it as a mate, a father, a
brother, a co-worker or friend
will be dealing with mano-
pause as well, says co-author
Kathy Kirtland Silverman. Un-
derstanding mens physical and
mental changes at midlife, and
the underlying causes of some
of their symptoms, allows wom-
en to share their knowledge
and to give constructive help
to the men they love. Properly
handled, this life passage can be
a time of rediscovery for men
and rebirth for relationships, as
men re-evaluate what is impor-
tant to them and make positive
changes.
Following is an edited tran-
script of our interview with the
co-authors.
Q: What is the average age for
manopause onset?
A: Bloch: Typically men begin
gradually losing testosterone
at the rate of about 1 percent
a year, starting around age 30.
This means that in most cases,
by the age of 50, men begin to
recognize both physical and
psychological signs of their cu-
mulative hormonal loss. This
is not a sudden change. It takes
place over years, even decades,
and the extent to which it is ex-
perienced is individual to each
man.
Q: You say the midlife adjust-
ment is as powerful as adoles-
cence. How so?
A: Silverman: A change in
hormone levels, whether it
is a surge or a drop, brings on
confusion as a mans body and
thought processes begin a trans-
formation. Surging hormones
can drive teenage boys toward
risky behaviors and unfamiliar
sexual desires. Declining hor-
mones can be equally confus-
ing to mature men, who dont
understand why their bodies,
drives and energy levels are
changing. Since men equate
manhood with the physical
strength that testosterone helps
to support, its no wonder they
both fear and ght this decline.
Q: What are some common
manopause behaviors?
A: Bloch: Mood swings, ir-
ritability, hypersensitivity or
frustration. These are often re-
lated to their resistance to ac-
cepting their hormonal decline.
Other signs may include declin-
ing energy, sleep interruptions
and less interest in sex. And
sometimes men experience de-
pression, since testosterone is
a natural antidepressant. On a
positive note, due to their de-
cline in testosterone, evolved
manopause men can become
better listeners and compan-
ions, more patient, more emo-
tionally in touch and communi-
cative.
Q: You mention changes in
sexual desire and performance a
lot. Whats the biggest message
you want men and women to
take away on that topic?
A: Silverman: A decline in
testosterone brings on certain
changes in a mans sexual char-
acteristics and abilities. But sex
at midlife and onward can be the
most satisfying sex in a mans
life, for both him and his part-
ner. A manopause man is expe-
rienced, both in and out of bed.
He has moved beyond a need
for instant gratication, and has
the patience and staying power
to give his partner her great-
est sensual satisfaction. He can
communicate what he wants,
and is willing to listen to what
his partner wants. And happily,
in cases where there are physi-
cal and psychological issues,
todays medical treatments can
ne-tune performance.

MSTERDAM The Dutch capital has plenty
to celebrate this year, most notably the April 13
reopening of the magnicent Rijksmuseum af-
ter 10 years of renovations and, after a shorter facelift, the
May 1 reopening of the neighboring Van Gogh Museum.
You have to pay to get into those museums, but most of
downtown Amsterdam looks like one huge open-air mu-
seum and strolling its streets costs you nothing. Renting
a bike is not free, but if you want to go native, its the only
way to travel. Just watch out for the trafc and tram rails.
5 free things in Amsterdam, from canals to parks
By MIKE CORDER | Associated Press
A sculpture by Spanish artist Pablo
Picasso titled The Fish (1965),
in Amsterdams Vondelpark. The
citys most famous park is just a
stones throw from Museum Square
and a great place for a picnic. The
116-acre park has ponds, tree-lined
pathways, kids playgrounds, an
open-air theater and cafes. You can
rent inline skates, but its mainly
just a great place to lay down a
blanket and sit for an hour or two
watching the world go by. Look out
for the Picasso sculpture of a sh
in one of its meadows.

People visiting the new EYE Film Instute take pictures of the MSC Lirica, a Panama-registered cruise ship passing on IJ river
in Amsterdam, Netherlands. One of Amsterdams newest landmarks is a stark, white lm institute, called the EYE, perched on
northern bank of the IJ waterway. While you have to pay to take in a movie, the cafe and its terrace are open to all who are pre-
pared to buy a cup of coffee or light meal and offer a front-row seat to watch barges chug along the IJ against a backdrop of the
city skyline.
A mother urges her children away from toys in a stand at Albert Cuyp market, Amsterdam,
Netherlands. Amsterdams wealth began in its port with the merchants who bought and
sold everything from tulip bulbs to spices from the East Indies. A little of that mercantile
past can still be seen at the citys many markets. The most famous is the Albert Cuyp food
market in the Pijp neighborhood, which sells, as the city website puts it, everything from
cheese to bicycle chains, six days a week.
THE CANALS
Its not only the Rijksmuseum
celebrating in 2013: Amster-
dams canals are 400 years old
this year, but strolling along the
waterways never gets old. The
scenery includes Golden Age
mansions dating to the 17th
century, converted warehouses
and narrowbuildings that some-
times look like theyre ready to
topple over sideways. The ring
of canals starts with the Singel,
which boasts a oating ower
market. Then come the Heren-
gracht, Keizersgracht and nally
the Prinsengracht. Once youve
worked up a thirst pounding
the cobbled sidewalks, stop off
for a drink in one of the brown
cafes small bars named for
their dark wooden interiors
along the canals or in the web of
narrow alleys that interconnect
them. If you visit the Red Light
District (and most tourists do),
youll discover that its also built
around two historic canals, the
Oudezijds Voorburgwal and Ou-
dezijds Achterburgwal.
BEGIJNHOF
The clatter of trams and ring-
ing of bicycle bells can be an
assault on the ears, but theres
a hidden oasis of peace in the
heart of Amsterdam if you need
a little quiet time. The Begijnhof
is a small grassed courtyard sur-
rounded by beautiful 17th- and
18th-century houses that were
originally built for pious Catho-
lic single women. Its right in
the middle of town and reach-
able by a gateway at the end
of a lane leading off one of the
citys busiest shopping streets,
but it is almost eerily silent. The
courtyard also holds a small
English Reformed Church and a
Catholic chapel.
If you dont manage to get
into the Rijksmuseum to see
Rembrandts Night Watch,
right around the corner from
the Begijnhof is another hidden
(and free) gem of the city, the
Schuttersgalerij, or Civil Guard
Gallery, of the Amsterdam Mu-
seum. This short covered pas-
sageway is home to among
other things a handful of
much smaller portraits of civil
guards similar in style, if not
size, to Rembrandts famous
work.
VONDELPARK
The citys most famous park is
just a stones throw from Muse-
um Square and a great place for
a picnic. The 116-acre park (47
hectares) has ponds, tree-lined
pathways, kids playgrounds, an
open-air theater and cafes. You
can rent inline skates, but its
mainly just a great place to lay
down a blanket and sit for an
hour or two watching the world
go by. Look out for the Picasso
sculpture of a sh in one of its
meadows.
EYE
One of Amsterdams new-
est landmarks is a stark, white
lm institute, called the EYE,
perched on northern bank of
the Ij waterway. While you have
to pay to take in a movie, the
cafe and its terrace are open to
all who are prepared to buy a
cup of coffee or light meal and
offer a front-row seat to watch
barges chug along the Ij against
a backdrop of the city skyline.
Remember that Amsterdam, at
its heart, is a busy port. Getting
there is another of the citys un-
sung pleasures you squeeze
onto a free commuter ferry usu-
ally crammed with cyclists from
behind Central Station.
MARKETS
Amsterdams wealth began
in its port with the merchants
who bought and sold everything
from tulip bulbs to spices from
the East Indies. A little of that
mercantile past can still be seen
at the citys many markets. The
most famous is the Albert Cuyp
food market in the Pijp neigh-
borhood, which sells, as the
city website puts it, everything
from cheese to bicycle chains,
six days a week. The prettiest
is the Noordermarkt, a sort of
growers market that sets up
each Saturday outside the his-
toric Noorderkerk church, next
to the Prinsengracht canal. The
best ea market is at Waterloo
Square every day except Sunday
close to the Amstel River.

RailRiders
see some
star power
By DAVE ROSENGRANT
drosengrant@timesleader.com
TAMPA, Fla. Typically, mi-
nor league camp during spring
training is slow with not much
going on.
The last fewdays, however, the
minor league
complex of the
New York Yan-
kees has been
full of excite-
ment.
On Friday,
New York
starting pitch-
er Phil Hughes
paid a visit to the camp, pitching
for the Low Class-A Charleston
RiverDogs while trying to re-
cover from a bulging disc in his
back. He was joined that day by
major league designated hitter
Travis Hafner. On the adjacent
eld, pitcher Hiroki Kuroda
got the starting nod for Class-A
Tampa. His catcher, Francisco
Cervelli, was his receiver.
On Saturday, fans and minor
leaguers got the biggest treat of
camp so far Yankees short-
stop Derek Jeter. The future Hall
of Famer, recovering from an
ankle injury that ended his sea-
son in October, is trying to get
in at-bats after being hampered
again earlier this spring. Hes
being held out of major league
games for precautionary reasons
after feeling stiffness and inam-
mation around his left ankle. He
hasnt played in a major league
game since March 19, and in
case he isnt ready for Opening
Day on April 1, he would only
miss the teams rst ve games
of the season.
Yankees general manager Bri-
an Cashman said Thursday that
Jeter would only play in minor
league games until camp breaks
in ve days. His rst action came
Saturday afternoon playing for a
teamrepresenting the Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre RailRiders. Jeter
went 0-for-4 with four ground-
outs against Pirates right-hander
Phillip Irwin, who pitched at
three levels last year, High Class-
A, Double-A and Triple-A. Jeter
led off three innings and batted
second in the other inning. He
didnt play the eld.
The most important thing is
to see pitches and thats what I
did and well move from there,
Jeter said. I dont think theres
a risk. You just go see pitches,
get at-bats and then feel comfort-
Future Hall of Famer Derek
Jeter gets in some action at

NCAA TOURNAMENT
HARD LESSON
Upstart Harvard sent home with thumping from Arizona
AP PHOTO
Arizonas Mark Lyons, lower left, reaches for a loose ball with Harvards Laurent Rivard (0) and Siyani Chambers (1) in the rst half
of a third-round game in the NCAA basketball tournament in Salt Lake City on Saturday.
SALT LAKE CITY For Ari-
zona, its on to Los Angeles.
And for Harvard well, its
time to head back to class.
Clearly unfazed by their
Ivy League opponents plucky
brand of Smartball, the Wildcats
showed how a real basketball
school does it Saturday. Mark
Lyons matched
his career high
with 27 points
in Arizonas
wire-to-wire 74-
51 blowout of
the Crimson.
No. 6 seed
Arizonas next
stop in the
NCAA tourna-
ment is south-
ern California,
where the Wild-
cats will make
their 15th ap-
pearance in the
regional semi-
nals. Theyll
play the winner of Sundays
game between Ohio State and
Iowa State.
The day for No. 14 Harvard
(20-10) was best summed up ear-
ly in the second half when point
guard Siyani Chambers took an
elbow to the mouth from Kevin
Parrom, who chipped off part of
Chambers front tooth. Ofcials
stopped play and Chambers
teammate, Christian Webster,
walked over, bent down and
picked up the tooth fragment off
the oor.
Ouch.
That felt nothing like Thurs-
day, when Harvard pulled off an
upset over a physically imposing
New Mexico team a stunner
that riled up the Harvard twitter-
rati and sparked dreams of nets
somehow being cut down with a
slide rule.
Yes, Tommy Amakers pro-
gram could be redening whats
possible in the Ivy League.
But Arizona (27-7), a team
that hasnt lost to an opponent
outside of the Pac-12 this sea-
son, had too much height, too
much speed, too much talent to
be slowed by this Harvard team.
It was over early and a couple
vignettes told the story.
Forward Solomon Hill (13
points, 10 rebounds) spotted up
for a 3-pointer, drained it, then
looped his ngers over his eyes
the 3-point goggles right
by the Harvard bench, in Amak-
ers face. On Harvards next pos-
session, Hill rebounded a missed
shot, took the ball coast to coast
and jammed with both hands,

The Cardinals put on a

PENGUINS
A H L
Irish celebration not so sweet for Penguins
WILKES-BARRE TWP.
Not even the luck of the Irish
could save the Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton Penguins from more
misfortune.
And its starting to make
them look more jumpy than
dancers performing an Irish jig.
On a St. Patricks Day-
themed Saturday night, the
Penguins allowed two goals in
each of the rst two periods
at Mohegan Sun Arena, send-
ing them to a 4-1 defeat at the
hands of Norfolk.
That was the second consec-
utive loss of the week for the
Penguins, who dropped three
of their last four home games
and are just 5-6 since Feb. 27.
While the Penguins pulled
out their green Shamrock uni-
forms, and Irish songs and
dances made the rst Penguins
home game since St. Patricks
Day seem upbeat, the mood in
their locker room was anything
but festive.
Starting center Zach Sill
smacked his stick on the ice
and slammed the penalty box
door in the second period as
he was tagged with a tripping
penalty and a 10-minute
misconduct.
The score was still 2-1 at that
point, but it soon turned ugly
for the suddenly snake-bitten
Penguins, who have scored just
one goal in their past six peri-
ods.

PENGUINS SUNDAY
My Hometown
Trevor Smith
Trevor Smith comes from a place where
a wall surrounds the city, allowing its resi-
dents to walk along the edge of the ocean.
An urban area anked by green moun-
tains whose residents have the laid back
attitude that the West Coast is known for.
There are no major highways to access
Smiths hometown, only a few back roads
and scenic bridges. And once you reach
the downtown, a lush park complete with
hiking trails and ponds offers a respite
from the urban lifestyle.
Sounds like a peaceful place, and it is.
But there is something that can trigger
anger in the residents of Vancouver. Sure,
Vancouver is a beautiful place that annu-
ally ranks as one of the most livable cities
in the world, but if Canucks lose in the
playoffs, look out.
In 2011, when Vancouver lost to Boston
in the Stanley Cup nal, riots marred the
city as angry fans took to the streets.
While the riots werent a good thing, they
were an example of the intense passion
Vancouver residents have for hockey.
But, as Smith points out, there is more
to Vancouver than hockey and he is happy
to point it all out.
Player: Trevor Smith
Hometown: Vancouver, British Colum-
bia
Type: Major city
Population: 2.3 million (metro, 2011
census)
Distance from Wilkes-Barre: 2,795
miles
Be our tour guide for Vancouver. What
can you tell us about the coastal city?
Its got everything. Youre 10 minutes
from the ocean and the summers are
beautiful. Its a lot like Seattle where
theres a lot of rain in the winter but not
much snow. That stays up in the moun-
tains. And when the sun does come up in
the mornings, its a beautiful place.
But its a major city so it has to have
some faults, such as trafc jams, right?
Not like some cities, like Philadelphia and
Boston, where you have these big inter-
states driving right through the middle
of town. In Vancouver, its not on a big
highway so its tough to get to, which is ac-
tually nice. It keeps things a little quiet and
helps make the city a relaxing place.
How do you get to it without a major
highway? Well, the highway is pretty far
away so you have to drive through the
backstreets to get downtown, which is a
cool atmosphere. It takes you over the wa-
ter and a bunch of bridges. Its a different
setup than most cities.
How about the scenery surrounding
the city -- the forests of the Pacic
Northwest? Everything is really lush and
green -- a lot of trees. Theres places you
cant log so they stay untouched. Theres
a seawall around the city and you can walk
it along the edge of the water. Its a cool
walk. There are demonstration forests and
a lot of parks, including a park right down-
town with a lot of trails and ponds. Its a
cool getaway in the middle of the city and
Vancouver is just a relaxing, outdoorsy
way of life.
What did you do aside from hockey
while growing up in Vancouver? I grew
up close to a local ski mountain and they
got a lot of snow. I did a lot of snowboard-
ing. It was right past my high school so
it was easy to get to. Wed snowboard
everyday after school.
I take it you grew up a Canucks fan?
Yes. I remember the 1994 playoffs when
they went to the Cup nal (lost to the
Rangers) like it was yesterday. Its amazing
how the city gets behind the Canucks. If
they win the Stanley Cup, Vancouver will
be one big party.
Show us how big a Canucks fan you
are and give us some names from the
past. Pavel Bure was right there, Trevor
Linden was the guy in Vancouver and still
is. Sergio Momesso, Gino Odjick, Dave
Babych -- he was a big guy. Kirk McLean
was a stand-up goalie. Jyrki Lumme on
the blueline.
Is Vancouver a place youd like to
move back to at some point? For sure.
Id have to check with my wife. Shes from
the East Coast. But its something were
going to have to decide farther down the
road. Vancouver would be a place where
Id love to set up shop.

PETE G. WILCOX FILE/THE TIMES LEADER
Rookie Jayson Megna (12) played at the University of Nebraska-Omaha last season and remembers his teams
quest to not only make the playoffs, but lock up home ice as well.
Thats one thing Ive never really
been a part of, said Brian Dumoulin,
who spent last season at Boston Col-
lege, where the postseason is dened
by single-elimination games as op-
posed to a lengthy, grueling series.
Its something thats going to be
new to me and Im looking forward
to it.
So is Bobby Farnham, who spent
the last four seasons at Brown Univer-
sity, where the postseason is dened
by several rounds of best-of-three
series.
But even that wasnt enough to
dene who the better team was. You
could still squeak them out, Farn-
ham said. To have ve- and seven-
game series, thats the coolest part
about hockey at the pro level.
Despite not having any experience
in a lengthy playoff series, those Pen-
guin players who came up through
the college ranks did benet from the
shorter postseason format.
Every minute of every game mat-
tered, and the pressure to keep their
season came down to a 60-minute
contest.
Thats the good thing about play-
ing those one-and-done games in
college, Dumoulin said. You had to
play your best and if you didnt, your
season was done.
I am going to take that same at-
titude into the playoffs at this level
-- every game will be the most impor-
tant game.
That experience with the high-
pressure one-and-done games of the
college postseason will help with the
transition into a pro playoff series,
according to second-year pro Brian
Gibbons.
Gibbons spent four years at Boston
College before turning pro with the
Penguins last season and experienc-
ing his rst AHL playoff series. He
said the grind of a series was an
adjustment, but his team at Boston
College played in some big postsea-
son games, helping ease that transi-
tion to the professional ranks.
I was comfortable playing in big
games. A playoff series in the pros is
still a little different, more of a pro-
cess, where in college every game is a
Game 7. Lose and go home, Gibbons
said. Its the same here -- you have to
play with some urgency and not think
that you can lose a few games and
still be in the series.
But rst, the Penguins simply need
to make the postseason before their
rookies can think about that rst play-
off opportunity. Heading down the
stretch, theyve been in the middle of
a tight Eastern Conference that still
has a handful of teams vying for the
last few spots.
Its a big turnaround from this time
last season, when the Penguins were
battling for home-ice advantage and
already had a playoff berth locked up.
Fighting to make the postseason is
something that many of the Penguins
-- rookies and veterans alike -- are
used to.
That includes rookie Jayson
Megna, who played at the University
of Nebraska-Omaha last season and
remembers his teams quest to not
only make the playoffs, but lock up
home ice as well.
Home ice was one of our goals
that we set at the beginning of the
year and we pushed really hard for
it, Megna said. We didnt get it, but
you could denitely notice the at-
mosphere change in the locker room
where guys were really bearing down
on that goal.
You can sense that here. Its get-
ting to that point of the year when it
makes or breaks your season.
For the Penguins, making their
season means just getting a chance
to extend it into the postseason. That
has everybody -- veterans and rookies
alike, excited.
Were still in the hunt and there
are no guarantees at this point, head
coach John Hynes said. Theres an
excitement for that and our focus
isnt so much the playoffs, but more
the challenge to get into the playoffs.
By TOMVENESKY | tvenesky@timesleader.com
W
ith 11 games remaining in the season, there a new sense of excite-
ment permeating the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins locker room.
It centers around the Calder Cup playoffs, and the opportunity has the
Penguins rookies especially those who came from the college ranks lick-
ing their chops in anticipation of their rst postseason as a pro. Its a time when
rivalries develop and enemies are made, along with the grind of facing the same
opponent for a ve- or seven-game series ... with everything on the line.
Bobby Farnham spent the last four
seasons at Brown University, where
the postseason is dened by several
rounds of best-of-three series.

He admitted to not running
at full speed on the grounders
as a precautionary reason after
a soaking rain drenched Tampa
with more than 1.5 inches of pre-
cipitation Friday night. The Yan-
kees captain and is still taking a

It takes time but then I was
also cautious because the feld
was also wet and I almost wiped
out out of the box, he added.
Jeters next action could be
today. The minor leaguers are
holding a camp day, in which an
intrasquad game is played in the
morning. That may be slightly
delayed though because of the
possibility of rain in Tampa this
morning.
Gonna take it day-to-day and

Unhappy belated birthday
Brett Marshall, who is a strong
candidate to be in Scranton/
Wilkes-Barres starting rotation
when the season begins April 4,
had problems on a windy day in
Tampa. The right-hander, who
celebrated his 23rd birthday Fri-
day, allowed seven hits and nine
earned runs in a loss to a team
representing the Indianapolis
Indians in the Pirates organiza-
tion. Marshall only lasted four
innings and gave up four home
runs.

Reegie Corona is known for
playing with the Scranton/Wil-
kes-Barre Yankees in 2010. His
season came to a screeching halt
that year when he broke his arm
in July and was hurt since then.
Hes trying to play in a regular
season game for the frst time
since then. And it may be back
with the SWB RailRiders.
The infelder showed promise
Saturday, picking up three hits
for the Riders in four at-bats.
Also contributing on SWBs of-
fense was second baseman Jose
Toussens, who jacked a home
run in three plate appearances.
Shortstop Jose Mojica doubled

tin Romine singled and scored a

SWB grabs TV deal
With the possibility of several
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRid-
ers games being sold out this
season, theres another way to
see the games.
On Saturday, the RailRiders
announcedthat they have signed
a fve-year deal with WQMY-TV
to televise 20 home games this
season. RailRiders play-by-play
announcer John Sadak will call
the action on the telecasts, with
help from WOLF-TV sports di-
rector Bob Ide as analyst. John
Mendola and Erin Dugan will
also lend a hand throughout the
season.
The 20 telecasts aere in ad-
dition to Phillies minor league
games that can be seen in the
area this season. The Lehigh
Valley IronPigs (72 games) and
Reading Phightins (22) can be
seen on Service Electric Cable.
The frst telecast by WQMY
will be on Friday, April 19,
against the Syracuse Chiefs. The

2:40 of the second period, put-
ting the game out of Wilkes-
Barre/Scrantons reach and put-
ting the teams starting goalie on
the bench.
Jeff Zatkoff replaced Brad
Thiessen in the Penguins crease
for the start of the fnal period.
But it was a dubious start
for the Penguins that had them
trying to crawl out of a hole all
night.
Kyle Wilson beat Thiessen
high over the glove side less
than fve minutes into the night,
and Norfolk had quick command
with the games frst goal.
Midway through the frst pe-
riod, Chris Wagner registered
another Norfolk goal, and the
Penguins were put into despera-

They received their only goal
midway through the second peri-
od when Alex Grants power play
shot cut Norfolks advantage to

And the Penguins got a little
luck when the score was still 3-1.
Thiessen made a fortunate
save on a puck hovering behind
him, dangerously close to cross-
ing the goal line, and the no-goal
call stood up under replay re-
view with 1:10 remaining in the
second period.
It did little good for the Pen-
guins.
Just eight seconds later,
Smith-Pelly put the clinching
puck in the back of the net with
a wicked shot from the right cir-
cle, sending the Penguins hope
for pulling off a comeback spin-
ning in circles.

PENGUINS
Continued from Page 1B Holy Cross falls in nal
HERSHEY The Beaver
Falls defense came in waves,
and it didnt stop whether the
team was down 12 or surging
ahead in the fourth quarter.
The Tigers pressure fnally
wore down Holy Cross late,
especially with the Crusaders
6-foot-6 center Josh Kosin in foul
trouble.
The Tigers took advantage of
Kosins absence by attacking the
basket, hitting 3-pointers and
making clutch foul shots down
the stretch to rally for a 69-63
victory Saturday to win the state
Class 2A title.
Micoy Mason hit two late
3-pointers and fnished with 14
points for the WPIAL champi-
ons, who lost in the fnals last
year to Imhotep Charter, this
years Class 3A champ.
Four Tigers fnished in double
fgures.
But the Tigers (28-3) pride
themselves especially on de-
fense. They limited the Scran-
ton-area Crusaders (27-6) to 36
percent shooting in the second
half after Holy Cross hit 60 per-
cent before halftime.
Having Kosin (25 points, 11
rebounds) hampered with four
fouls for much of the second half
didnt help. Holy Cross led by
eight at the half and 48-41 after
three quarters thanks in large
part to Kosin.
DAYTON, Ohio Temple coach Fran
Dunphy isnt the sugarcoating type. Hes a
non-nonsense guy from Philly. He calls it the
way he sees it.
So Dunphy wasnt about to pretend he
isnt nervous about the Owls facing top-seed-
ed Indiana, a team with size, speed, power,
depth, two All-American candidates and
3-point shooters at every position, a program
primed to make another run to a national
championship.
Hard to nd any aws in these Hoosiers.
The problem is theres not a weakness
they have, Dunphy said Saturday. Were
concerned.
And rightly so.
Temple, which scraped
past North Carolina State
in the opening round, fac-
es a daunting task Sun-
day when it meets Indi-
ana in the third round of
the NCAA tournament.
The Hoosiers (28-6) have
been one of the nations
most consistent teams
all season and seem to
be peaking at the perfect
time.
Dunphy knows what
he and his team are up
against.
Theres a reason why
they are a rst seed, he
said.
Indiana wasted little time in blowing out
James Madison to win its opener 83-62, a
game that wasnt nearly as close as the nal
score. The Hoosiers blitzed the overmatched
Dukes from the start, built a 33-point lead
and were in such control in the second half
that coach Tom Crean was able to get his
starters some valuable rest.
Temples players were in the stands to
watch, and get a rsthand look at the Hoo-
siers. The ninth-seeded Owls were im-
pressed, but theyre not frightened.
Shortly after he scored 31 points, despite
playing most of the second half with an in-
jured left thumb, Owls star guard Khalif
Wyatt was asked if he wanted to play James
Madison or Indiana.
Indiana, he said without hesitation.
With a day to rethink his answer, Wyatt
still prefers the Hoosiers.
It will be a good challenge for us, said
Wyatt, the Atlantic 10s Player of the Year.
Thats why you play basketball. You want to
play against the best. Its a good challenge for
us, a great opportunity for us, and well be
ready for it.
Wyatt said X-rays were negative on his
thumb, which twisted when he got it caught
inside the jersey of a Wolfpack defender. He
came out of the game for a few minutes,
got taped up and returned to make all the
big plays and six free throws in the -
nal 32 seconds as the Owls avoided be-
ing knocked out in their rst game for what
would have been the fth time in six years.
Its a little sore right now, but it will be
ne, Wyatt said.
The Owls better hope so. Wyatt gives
them a ghting chance against the Hoo-
siers, who likely will assign Victor Oladipo,
the Big Tens defensive player of the year, to
guard him. Wyatt, averaging 20.2 points per
game, might be one of the few Temple play-
ers who could crack IUs lineup. Wyatt plays
with swagger. Hes good. He knows it, and he
wont back down from any challenge.
You can tell that theres no moment thats
too big for him, Crean said. The bigger the
stage, it doesnt make any difference.
DAYTON, Ohio When the
Buckeyes board their bus at Uni-
versity of Dayton Arena and make
those two quick right turns to
get on Interstate 75 north, theyll
either be on their way home for
good or head-
ing off to
s ome pl a c e
entirely new
for them.
The sec-
ond- seeded
B u c k e y e s
(27-7) are
one win
away from
reaching the
NCAA tour-
n a m e n t s
round of 16
for the fourth
year in a row,
s omet hi ng
theyve never
done in their storied basketball
history. In their way is 10th-seed-
ed Iowa State (23-11), a team
that will test all areas of a de-
fense that has been Ohio States
strength down the stretch.
The winner heads to Los An-
geles to face whoever is left in
the West Regional and its upset-
lled bracket.
All weve talked about this
week with our guys is the two
games in Dayton, coach Thad
Matta said Saturday. Hope-
fully on the bus ride home, were
saying, OK, this is the next op-
ponent, and these are the four
teams that are there.
The West already has provided
several of the tournaments dou-
ble-take moments. No. 3 New
Mexico, No. 4 Kansas State and
No. 5 Wisconsin lost their open-
ing games, wiping out the top of
the bracket. No. 1 Gonzaga and
Ohio State are the top two still
standing.
It wouldnt be a shock if the
Buckeyes failed to make the trip
West. Theyve been knocked out
during Mattas two tournament
appearances in Dayton.
They were a No. 2 seed just
like this year when they lost
to Georgetown in the second
round in 2006 on a day of upsets
in Dayton. Defending national
champion North Carolina also
lost in the blue-and-red arena
that year. The Buckeyes lost a
double-overtime game to Si-
ena in 2009, when they were an
eighth seed in Dayton.

PHILADELPHIA Duke will never be a
rst-weekend tournament darling.
Theres no such thing as an upset un-
less the Blue Devils are beat. No high-ving
announcers and getting mobbed at press con-
ferences like the kids at Florida Gulf Coast.
No need to call the schools only active NBA
alumn for instant reaction like at Harvard.
Sure, putting the madness in March can
be a blast.
But those moments and wins are
often eeting and rarely lead to a Final Four,
much less a national championship. So let
the underdogs have their day and soak in
the national spotlight. Amid a tournament
of upsets, the Blue Devils expect to savor
the tournament on that second Monday
night in April.
Its not like because were at Duke, we
arent allowed to experience that feeling,
Duke forward Mason Plumlee said. It just
comes with higher stakes.
Plumlee is one of the few Blue Devils to
experience the high of a national champi-
onship and the low of the unexpected exit.
He was a freshman when Duke won the na-
tional championship in 2010 and a junior
when the Blue Devils lost as a No. 2 seed to
Lehigh lost season.
The second-seeded Blue Devils (28-5) put
that rst-game exit behind them when they
beat Albany. They have a deeper run in mind
and need to get past seventh-seeded Creigh-
ton (28-7) today in the Midwest Regional.
The Blue Devils havent advanced past the
round of 16 since coach Mike Krzyzewksi won
his fourth national championship in 2010.
A win on today would barely cause a rip-
ple in Durham, N.C. The Crazies can start to
go crazy next weekend, and beyond.
But at Creighton, a win could send the
campus into a frenzy. The Bluejays havent
advanced to a regional seminal since the
tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985.
For the second straight year, theyre on
the cusp of getting there. North Carolina
spoiled their run last season. Now, another
ACC team looks to send All-American Doug
McDermott and Co. home.
McDermott scored 27 points, grabbed 11
rebounds andmade all 11 free throws to help
Creighton beat Cincinnati 67-63 on Friday.
Just in case hed gone unnoticed playing in
the heartland, McDermott put on quite on a
show. He even impressed Krzyzewksi, who
overlooked McDermott when he recruited
his high school teammate in Iowa, Harrison
Barnes. Barnes went to North Carolina and
plays now for the Golden State Warriors.
McDermott committed to Northern Iowa
before following his dad, Greg, to his latest
coaching stop at Creighton.
McDermott is such a beautiful player,
Krzyzewksi said. Hes really one of the best
offensive players Ive seen in the last decade
in college basketball.
High praise from a coach who had J.J.
Redick, Jason Williams and Kyrie Irving
over that span.
But McDermott has earned it. He ranks
behind only Oscar Robinson (Cincinnati)
and Larry Bird (Indiana State) on most Mis-
souri Valley Conference single-season or ca-
reer scoring records.

Mississippi guard Marshall henderson talks to reporters in the locker room after practice for a third-round game in
the NCAA basketball tournament on Saturday in Kansas City, Mo. Mississippi plays La Salle in today.
Ole Miss hopes Henderson hot early
KANSAS CITY, Mo. If he had
any hair, Andy Kennedy would prob-
ably be pulling it out.
The Mississippi coach has been
searching in vain all season for a way
to jolt Marshall Henderson out of his
habitual rst-half funks.
In the upset victory over Florida in
the Southeastern Conference nals,
the affable and at times agitating at
least to opponents and their fans
Henderson scored all but three of his
21 points in the second half.
Then on Friday in a second-round
NCAA tournament victory over Wis-
consin, it was the same old story of
cold early, hot late for the SECs top
scorer. His teammates kept running
ball screens to get him open looks, but
Henderson managed only two points
in the rst half. Then he went off for
17 in the second.
If Henderson nds his touch early to-
night in the third-round game against
La Salle, the 13th-seeded Explorers
(23-9) could be in for a long game.
I would like him to make shots
earlier, thats for sure, Kennedy said.
And he talks about it. I told himtoday
he may be talking about it too much.
Its almost like its set in his mind. Ive
stopped ghting getting him to turn. I
thought in the rst half his looks were
as clean if not cleaner than the second
half. I dont know what it is.
Jaunty and outgoing, Marshall
seems to be enjoying this NCAA tour-
nament as much as anyone involved. A
few hours after the 12-seeded Rebels
(27-8) ousted Wisconsin, pictures of
him decked out in an Ole Miss sweat-
shirt having fun at a Kansas City night-
spot were all over Twitter. The next
day, Ole Miss ofcials were quick to
say he was not drinking, but only at
dinner with the rest of the team.
Showboating seems to come easier
to Henderson than hitting an unguard-
ed jumper. He revels in all the atten-
tion. He does not seem worried about
giving anyone the wrong impression
of himself or his school by getting his
picture taken while out on the town.
I guess its cool, said the skinny,
head-shaven sharpshooter. Gives peo-
ple something to laugh at on the daily.
Its kind of a joke really. It is funny to get
people riled up. All youve got to do is
say one little sentence that gets people
all riled up over nothing and everyone
starts saying all kind of crazy stuff.
His basketball skills are undeniable.
He needs one 3-point bucket to break
the SEC record. He hit 88 percent of
his free throws to lead the SEC in that
category as well.
He does not shy away a checkered
past which includes a 25-day jail
term for violating probation. He was
originally arrested for a misdemeanor
charge of forgery for using counterfeit
money to buy marijuana.
He also promises to do good deeds
if NBA money should ever start rolling
in.
I have a goal in mind to make mon-
ey playing basket-
ball, and then hon-
estly, deep down in
my heart, I want to
open an addiction
and rehab center,
because Ive obvi-
ously been through
some things, he
said. And I dont
know of many peo-
ple who have been
through what Ive
been through and
can still get a col-
lege degree, and
obviously, I have
to thank basketball
for that.
Ramon Gal-
loway, La Salles high-energy senior
guard, will probably draw the assign-
ment to ght through the ball screens
and guard Henderson.
Hes going to take his shots, Gal-
loway said. My thing is just making
sure to contest every shot. Not to give
him anything easy. But Im not going
to get caught up in the Ramon Gal-
loway and the Henderson show. Its
about La Salle and Ole Miss.
It will be the third game in ve days
for the Explorers, who beat Boise State
on Wednesday in Dayton, Ohio in the
First Four, then took the red-eye to KC
and ousted No. 4 seed Kansas State
before a hostile crowd on Friday night.
Even though his players are young
and eager, coach John Giannini admits
fatigue is a concern.
Im always concerned about being
fresh, he said. If someone saw our
public workout a couple of days ago, it
was the most boring one ever because
we really didnt do anything. We did
our preparation in a walkthrough in
the hotel. Im always concerned about
being fresh, no question about it, espe-
cially right now.

Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo, from left, listens to Keith
Appling (11) as Travis Trice listens against Memphis in the
second half of their third-round game of the NCAA basketball
tournament in Auburn Hills, Mich., Saturday. Michigan State won
the game 70-48.
Michigan State easily advances past Memphis
AUBURN HILLS, Mich.
Here we go again for Michigan
State. Make it to the NCAA tour-
nament, prepare for any possibil-
ity in the rst two games, and
then focus on the next stop.
Its a March tradition for Tom
Izzo and the Spartans.
Gary Harris scored 16 of his
career-high 23 points in the rst
half and third-seeded Michigan
State pulled away for a 70-48 vic-
tory over sixth-seeded Memphis
on Saturday, putting the Izzo-led
program in the regional semi-
nals for the fth time in six years
and the 11th time in his career.
We can enjoy it on the bus ride
home, Michigan States Adreian
Payne said before the teams 90-
mile ride back to campus. Once
we get back to East Lansing, its
going to be time to work.
The Spartans (27-8) will play
the winner of Sundays Duke-
Creighton game on Friday in the
Midwest Regional seminals at
Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapo-
lis.
Michigan State and the win-
ner of the Kansas-North Caroli-
na game on Sunday are the only
schools to make it to the round
of 16 ve times in the last six
years, according to STATS LLC.
Date it back a little more, and
the Spartans and Blue Devils are
the only teams to make it to the
regional seminals in at least 10
of the last 15 seasons.
The way its changed since
2000 is, a high seed used to get
you out of the rst weekend,
Izzo said. Nowit barely gets you
out of the rst game, as were all
seeing.
Izzo improved to 18-3 in the
second game at an NCAA tour-
nament site, proving again he
gets his players prepared to play
very well with only one day to
prepare.
The Spartans top post play-
ers Payne and Derrick Nix
combined for 27 points and
18 rebounds. Payne had a career-
high ve blocks, boosting his
stock if he skips his senior sea-
son to enter the NBA draft.
The Tigers (31-5) advanced in
the NCAA tournament for the
rst time in Josh Pastners four
seasons. Memphis Geron John-
son scored 13 of his 16 points in
the rst half, and Joe Jackson n-
ished with 12 points.
The Conference USA cham-
pions are headed home because
they struggled to stop Harris on
the outside or his teammates in-
side all afternoon.
With only Gonzaga going into
the tourney with more wins,
Memphis D.J. Stephens insisted
his team is one of the best in the
country even after it was easily
eliminated.
No disrespect, but we know
that we are a better team than
Michigan State, the high-ying
forward said after scoring three
points, grabbing six rebounds
and blocking four shots. We just
gave this game away.
Pastner said the Spartans had
a lot to do with that.
Theyre good enough to win
the whole national champion-
ship, he said.
Michigan State led by as much
as 13 in the rst half, creating
that cushion when Harris made
his fth shot and fourth
3-pointer with 7:59 left.
He wants to play in the big
games on the big stage, Izzo
said.
Memphis responded with a
12-2 run to pull within three, and
the Spartans led 32-29 at halftime.
But the Tigers fell off the pace
in the second half because they
were overmatched physically
by a Big Ten power after going
undefeated during their regular
season in Conference USA.
Keith Appling made his rst
and only shot to put Michigan
State up by nine points with
13:17 to go, but the teams lead-
ing scorer left for good ve min-
utes later when his right shoul-
der took the brunt of Johnsons
drive into the lane.
Appling said hell be ready to
play in the next round.
It was very painful, but I
couldve gone back in if I had to,
he said.
Before Appling was hurt, he
had a towel thrown at him by
Nix, his teammate since high
school, in a heated huddle dur-
ing a timeout.
It was just miscommunica-
tion with the ball screen and
stuff, so we went at it, Nix said.
Thats my best friend. I love
him to death. I treat him like a
little brother. Were over it. We
won the game and let it go.

Michigan guard Trey Burke (3) celebrates a basket against Virginia Commonwealth in the second
half of their third-round game of the NCAA basketball tournament in Auburn Hills, Mich., Satur-
day. Michigan won 78-53.
Michigan breezes through
VCU press for an easy win
AUBURN HILLS, Mich.
Michigan made Havoc look
helpless.
Now Trey Burke, Tim
Hardaway Jr. and the rest of the
cool-headed Wolverines are part
of the schools longest NCAA
tournament run in nearly two
decades.
Mitch McGary had 21 points
and 14 rebounds, and fourth-
seeded Michigan breezed
through Virginia Common-
wealths vaunted pressure with
a clinical performance Satur-
day, beating the fth-seeded
Rams 78-53 to advance to the
regional seminals for the rst
time since 1994. VCU couldnt
create many easy baskets with
its press, even though the Wol-
verines didnt have much time
to prepare for it.
This is a very high-IQ team
that can pick up things very
quickly, Michigan coach John
Beilein said. Everybody that
played in the game, even the
guys that did not play, just re-
sponded beautifully in the way
we want Michigan to respond
in these situations.
McGary, a 6-foot-10 fresh-
man, set season highs in
scoring and rebounding. VCU
had no answer for him around
the basket, and that pressure
defense the Rams call it
Havoc wasnt much of a
factor.
VCU was relentless in a
46-point rout of Akron on
Thursday night, but the Rams
met their match against Michi-
gans backcourt. Burke and
Hardaway rarely looked rattled,
and Michigan (28-7) committed
only 12 turnovers.
The 71-point swing by VCU
from a 46-point win to a
25-point loss was the largest
in NCAA tournament history,
according to STATS. In 1968,
Houston beat Texas Christian
103-68 to reach the Final Four,
then lost to UCLA 101-69 for a
67-point swing.
VCU (27-9) went 0-8 this
season when forcing under 15
turnovers.
Certainly in retrospect it
wasnt a very good matchup,
Rams coach Shaka Smart said.
The credit for that goes to
Michigan. I dont think that
we, for whatever reason, had
great bounce today and energy.
Our guys tried. They always
do, but I think what Michigan
was able to do to us early on
and us missing some easy
shots around the basket and
maybe some outside looks wed
normally make, that may have
contributed to our spirit not
being quite where it needed to
be.
McGary made his rst seven
shots from the eld. Burke
scored 18 points, and Hardaway
and Glenn Robinson III added
14 each.
Juvonte Reddic scored 16
points for VCU.
Michigan heads to Arlington,
Texas, to play either Kansas or
North Carolina on Friday.
The Wolverines are now
advancing farther in the NCAA
tournament than they have
since Jalen Rose and Juwan
Howard were still on the team.
Michigan reached the quarter-
nals in 1994.
Its great for the program,
Beilein said. At the University
of Michigan, we want to be
champions, and were trying
for Big Ten championships.
And when you get in the NCAA
tournament, youre trying to do
the exact same thing.
Michigan took advantage of a
friendly crowd in its home state
and so did rival Michigan
State. The Spartans beat Mem-
phis in Auburn Hills immedi-
ately after the Wolverines won
their game.
Michigan and Michigan State
had never reached the round of
16 in the same year until now.
Burke drove toward the
basket and lobbed to Robinson
for an alley-oop dunk that made
it 38-21. Michigan led 38-23 at
the break. Burke turned the ball
over ve times in the rst 5:51
of the second half, but even
then the Rams couldnt rally.
A dunk and a layup by Mc-
Gary had VCU calling timeout
with the score 49-33 and
then Michigan found a bit of a
groove from beyond the arc.
Spike Albrecht made a
3-pointer and found Robinson
with a slick pass for a dunk in
transition. A 3-pointer by Burke
made it 57-35.
Hardaway made a 3-pointer
to push the lead to 23 and
added an acrobatic reverse
dunk to make it 64-38.
Coach Beilein always said if
youre going to do something
ashy, it better work, Hard-
away said. I just tried to do the
easiest dunk that I knew how to
do, so it ended up being that.
Oregon 74, Saint Louis 57
SAN JOSE, Calif. Damy-
ean Dotson scored 23 points,
Carlos Emory added 14 points
and hot-shooting Oregon sprint-
ed past fourth-seeded Saint
Louis in the NCAA tournament.
Dotson made his rst ve
3-pointers to carry the 12th-
seeded Ducks (28-8) into the
second weekend for the rst
time since 2007, when they lost
to eventual repeat champion
Florida in the regional nal.
Oregon made 8 of 11 shots
from beyond the arc, while the
Billikens nished 3 for 21 from
long range.
Oregon will play No. 1 overall
seed Louisville in the Midwest
Regional in Indianapolis next.
The Cardinals routed Colorado
State 82-56 in Lexington, Ky.
Kwamain Mitchell scored
18 points and Dwayne had 16
points and nine rebounds for
the Billikens (28-7), who set a
school record for wins this sea-
son following the death of coach
Rick Majerus in December.
Marquette 74, Butler 72
LEXINGTON, Ky. Vander
Blue scored 19 second-half
points to rally third-seeded
Marquette out of another hole,
and the Golden Eagles survived
No. 6 Butler to reach the Round
of 16.
Like Novembers rst meet-
ing between the teams at the
Maui Invitational, won 72-71
by Butler on Rotnei Clarkes
buzzer-beating 3-pointer, this
was a back-and-forth, high-
intensity affair, that came down
to the nal shot.
Only this time, Butler
missed.
Marquette (25-8) will meet
the winner of Sundays game
between Illinois and Miami
(Fla.) on Thursday in Washing-
ton, D.C.
then bumped chests violently
with Parrom.
Moments later, Lyons made
a backdoor cut and took an
alley-oop pass from Brandon
Ashley for an easy layup.
Bad enough that happens to
a defense once in a game. But
on the next possession, Lyons
and Ashley combined for an
absolute carbon-copy of the
same play.
Harvard shot 52 percent
against New Mexico and
would clearly need a repeat
to keep this run going. The
Crimson missed 20 of its rst
22 shots for 9.1 percent. By
that time, Arizona was up 30-
9.
Remember Laurent Rivard,
the Canadian guard who
made ve 3-pointers in Har-
vards win to go with the six
he made last year in the pro-
grams rst appearance in the
NCAAs since 1946? He shot
1-for-6 on Saturday, missing
two early, then shooting two
airballs in the second half.
He nished with three points.
Credit most of that to Par-
roms blanket defense.
Chambers, the Harvard
freshman, will have his own
special memory of Arizonas
senior guard.
The freshman was trying
to make a jump pass, when
Parrom left his feet, as well,
to block it. His elbow bashed
Chambers lip and he gri-
maced in pain. Helped off the
oor with the tooth in hand,
he was wincing on the bench,
where TV cameras caught a
clear shot of his newly jagged
right front tooth.
HARVARD

reach double gures.
It was the 12th straight win
for Louisville (31-5), which will
play the winner of Saint Louis-
Oregon on Friday in Indianapo-
lis.
Playing Louisville and its re-
lentless press is about as much
fun as facing a really angry oc-
topus. The Cardinals look as if
they have eight or nine players
on the oor, what with all the
arms waving and bodies smoth-
ering whoever has the bad luck
to have the ball, and when one
guy sits down, theres one equal-
ly as physical right there to take
his place.
Few teams have had much
success against Louisville
theres a reason the Cardinals
are the overall No. 1 seed but
Colorado State seemed as if it
might have a shot. The Rams
run a motion offense thats
tough to defend, grab rebounds
by the dozens, and are a savvy,
veteran team that doesnt turn
the ball over. In fact, when Lou-
isville coach Rick Pitino made
out his dangerous list before
the tournament began, Colo-
rado State was on it.
So much for that.
Colorado State actually shot
the ball well 47.5 percent.
The Cardinals just wouldnt let
them do it very often, limiting
the Rams to 18 shots in the rst
half and 40 total.
They hounded Colorado State
when it was inbounding the ball;
the Rams had back-to-back pos-
sessions in the rst half when
they couldnt even get the ball
in play. They circled Colorado
State when the Rams brought
it up, with more than one turn-
over coming on a desperation
heave across midcourt to beat
the whistle. And, of course, they
clogged up every inch of the
court where the Rams might
have a view of their basket, re-
peatedly slapping the ball away
or stepping in front of passes.
The Rams reached their sea-
son average in turnovers (10.9)
by halftime, and topped their
previous worst for the season
(16) with 15:33 still to play.
Meanwhile, the Cardinals
were scoring at will.
Jon Octeus made a pair of free
throws to pull the Rams within
26-22 with 6:10 left in the rst
half. But then the Cardinals
went on a 17-6, effectively put-
ting the game out of reach.
Peyton Siva made a jumper,
and Ware followed by stripping
Octeus and taking the ball in
for the easy layup to start the
surge. Five different Cardinals
scored during the run, which
was capped by a 3 by Smith.
The Cardinals were so on that
Harrells jumper at the buzzer
bounced on the rim once, twice
and then a third time before
swirling in to give Louisville a
45-31 lead at the half. Colorado
State coach Larry Eustachy
threw up his hands as if to say,
Sure. What else?
The Rams were No. 4 in the
country in rebounding (40.4),
and their plus-12 margin was
the nations best. They didnt
come anywhere close to that

Snow kidding: U.S.
defeats Costa Rico

make a save against Costa Rica during the second half of a
World Cup qualier soccer match in Commerce City, Colo., on
Friday. The United States beat Costa Rica 1-0.
By MICHAEL KELLY
Associated Press
COMMERCE CITY, Colo.
Soft snow started falling, and
then kept getting heavier as the
night progressed.
From the start of Fridays
World Cup qualier, the lines
on the eld were covered. As
the game wore on, even the
Americans in their white home
uniforms became hard to see.
And then in the 55th minute,
with the U.S. leading Costa Rica
1-0 on Clint Dempseys early
goal, the referee and match
commissioner stopped it.
Would it continue? For a mo-
ment, it was as unclear as the
view.
But then, after some heated
discussions, play went on.
On a snowy night more suit-
able to slaloms than soccer,
Dempseys 16th-minute score
in his rst start as the American
captain held up, giving the U.S.
a 1-0 victory in a key qualier
for next years World Cup.
It was difcult out here to
see anything, Dempsey said.
The second half, the snow
coming up past your ankles, it
was almost unplayable.
Several U.S. players wore
short sleeves. A bare-chested
Dempsey applauded fans after
the nal whistle.
Costa Ricas team seemed to
have a harder time dealing with
the winter wonderland. The Ti-
cos have 24 hours to le a writ-
ten protest with FIFA.
You couldnt see the lines.
You couldnt see the ball. You
couldnt play, Costa Rica mid-
elder Michael Barrantes said.
Plows and shovels were used
to clear the penalty areas, cen-
ter circle and mideld stripe as
snow got heavier, and a yellow-
and-purple ball was used. Ten
minutes into the second half,
Costa Rica coach Jorge Luis Pin-
to wanted referee Joel Aguilar of
El Salvador and match commis-
sioner Victor Daniel of Grenada
to suspend the game, but U.S.
coach Jurgen Klinsmann made a
case for playing on.
Thats why I went onto the
eld with my bad Spanish,
to interfere with the referee,
Were not stopping that game.
Its only the lines, Klinsmann
said. They cleaned up the lines
and they kept playing. The ref-
erees were clear, they said it
was all about the lines. Its for
both teams very difcult to play
all the way through. I would
have done anything possible to
not stop it.

Stewart hoping for more good luck at Fontana
By GREG BEACHAM
AP Sports Writer
FONTANA, Calif. A few
hours after putting his footprints
and signature in drying concrete
on Fontanas walk of fame, Tony
Stewart hopped on his jet with
Kyle Larson and ew 400 miles
north to Stockton, Calif., where
Larson beat him in a dirt-track
race.
Just a typical Friday for Stew-
art and just another indi-
cation hes not worried about
Stewart-Haas Racings slow start
heading into Sundays fth race
of the NASCAR season.
Wrecks, bad tires and simply
unfortunate breaks have com-
bined to keep Stewart way down
in 24th place in the overall points
standings next to the three-time
Sprint Cup series champions
similarly placed teammates, Ryan
Newman (23rd) and rookie Dan-
ica Patrick (28th). Stewart isnt
exactly worried about it just yet,
but its clear Smoke would love
to gure out the new Gen-6 car
in time to celebrate a third win
in four years at Fontana heading
into NASCARs off week.
Everybody wants an answer
that nobody has an answer to
right now, said Stewart, who
starts eighth Sunday. Every
track that were going to is a
learning deal
right now.
Youre going
to go through
a lot of races
before we all
gure out what
the car likes
and dislikes.
Stewart-Haas could use a bit of
the same good fortune that made
Stewart the defending champion
on this sunbaked, 2-mile course,
where he won a rain-shortened
race last year. Theres no chance
of rain in sunny Southern Cali-
fornia this weekend, and Stewart
sounds condent his teams fore-
cast will improve soon.
Its just early in the year, said
Stewart, who lost tire pressure
and spun early last week at Bris-
tol. If all of us had nished all
the races and were back there
because weve been running bad,
that would be one thing. Weve
all had races that weve crashed
out of. Four races into a season,
thats 25 percent of your points
total. Just having one of those
(crashes) is enough to mess up
the point standings right now.
Stewart is among the busiest
drivers, helping his goal to race
100 times this year with his trip
to Stocktons new dirt track and
its 10,000-plus fans. But the hot-
test driver is Kasey Kahne, who
won at Bristol last week after n-
ishing second in Las Vegas two
weeks ago.
After arriving at this track
in 2012 in the midst of a nasty
slump during his debut season
with Hendrick Motorsports,
Kahne was comfortable enough
this year to spend one night get-
ting a tattoo of his grandfathers
initials on his forearm.
Hendrick teammate Jimmie
Johnson is a ve-time winner at
NASCARs closest track to his
native El Cajon, Calif., and hes
a fan favorite in San Bernardino
County. Denny Hamlin won the
pole Friday, and Brad Keselows-
ki will chase his fth straight
top-ve nish to start his series
title defense from the back after
engine trouble.
Keselowski isnt writing off his
chances to contend after such a
strong start to the season, albeit
with no victories yet.
Its pretty early with this Gen-
6 car, and so I dont think anyone
really knows who the favorite is
to beat, said Keselowski, who
could tie Dale Earnhardt Sr.s
1995 record of ve straight top-
ves to start a title defense. I
know we might have the points
lead, but I think its too early to
label any one team ahead or be-
hind.
Although the Fontana track
isnt NASCARs newest or fanci-
est, drivers typically enjoy its
aging asphalt with the potential
for ve-wide racing. They also
realize the importance of putting
on an entertaining show in the
circuits closest race to Los Ange-
les and the Hollywood publicity
NASCAR craves.
Kyle Busch keeps
Gibbs Fontana
streak alive
FONTANA, Calif. Kyle
Busch earned Joe Gibbs
Racings ninth consecutive
Nationwide Series victory at
Fontana on Saturday, comfort-
ably beating Sam Hornish Jr.
for his third win in ve races
this season.
Joe Gibbs Racings Toyotas
havent lost a Nationwide race
on their unofcial home track
since 2007. Busch pushed
ahead late in a back-and-forth
duel with Nationwide points
leader Hornishs Ford to win
his second straight Nationwide
race.
Whats more, Parker Kliger-
man drove his Kyle Busch Mo-
torsports Toyota to a fourth-
place nish. Regan Smith was
third, and Austin Dillon came
in fth ahead of Kyle Larson.
Stewart
ORLANDO, Fla. The shot looked
daunting to Tiger Woods, and so did the
view from the bunker behind the eighth
green at Bay Hill. Across a small lake was
a large scoreboard that showed Justin Rose
off to such a hot start that Woods was ve
shots behind and trying not to lose ground.
Two shots and two putts changed
everything Saturday in the Arnold Palmer
Invitational.
Woods hit what he called his best shot
of the third round, a 6-iron from 196 yards
that settled 12 feet below the hole on No.
15 to set up a birdie. Minutes later, he hit
another 6-iron from 183 yards to 20 feet
and slammed his st toward the hole when
he made eagle, his third in as three days.
Just like that, Woods was atop the lead-
erboard, a familiar spot for him on this golf
course. He nished off his round of 6-under
66 with two pars, and when Rose lost
energy and stumbled over the nal hour,
Woods had a two-shot lead.
And thats a daunting view for everyone
chasing him.
Woods is 41-2 on the PGA Tour when he
has the outright lead going into the nal
round.
Just because Ive won here doesnt en-
sure that Im going to win the tournament,
Woods said. The conditions are different.
The game might be different. But the objec-
tive is still to put myself in position to win
the golf tournament and somehow get it
done on Sunday. Over the course of my ca-
reer, Ive done a pretty decent job of that.
Woods was at 11-under 205, two shots
ahead of Rickie Fowler (67), John Huh (71)
and Rose, who through four holes Saturday
was six shots ahead of Woods. Rose had a
39 on the back nine and wound up with a
72.
Rose had a three-shot lead on the back
nine until he crumbled, making three
bogeys over the last six holes. He attrib-
uted that to a lack of energy, perhaps from
the muggy conditions, but didnt mind his
position.
I just wanted to go out and play a good
round of golf, Rose said. I wasnt too
worried whether I was two ahead or two
behind. The real day is tomorrow. Obvious-
ly, you dont want to give Tiger too many
shots. The back nine was a shame, but
today means nothing until tomorrow plays
out. So hopefully, he doesnt go get hot to-
morrow and then today is just a memory.
Rose didnt even make it into the nal
group.
Fowler dropped only one shot on a
muggy day with a short burst of showers,
closing with a par from the back bunker
on the 18th. He will play with Woods in
the nal round for the rst time since the
Memorial, where Woods closed with a 67
to win and Fowler had an 84.
Fowler was only three shots behind going
into the nal round of the Honda Classic
at the start of the Florida swing and closed
with a 74. He also had a bad Sunday at
Doral (78), though he was never in serious
contention. Without knowing where his 67
would leave him at Bay Hill, he sounded
determined to nish stronger.
It was disappointing to play the way
I did those two Sundays, but I felt really
good with where I was at, putting myself
in position to go win a golf tournament
or have a good nish and kind of taking
myself out of it, Fowler said. So it was a
little bit of a kick in the butt to go out there
and nish off tournaments. So Im looking
forward to tomorrow and seeing if we can
go do that.
Nine players were separated by three
shots going into the nal round, though
the dynamic takes on a different vibe at
Bay Hill. Woods can tie a PGA Tour record
for most victories at one tournament. Sam
Snead won the Greater Greensboro Open
eight times.
I have a chance to win tomorrow,
Woods said.
More than just another trophy, and
another greeting from the King, are on the
line Sunday.
Woods is one round away from returning
to No. 1 in the world, a place he hasnt been
since the last week in October in 2010.
Mississippi Gulf
Resort Classic
SAUCIER, Miss. Corey Pavin bird-
ied his rst six holes and nished with
a 5-under 67 to join Bernhard Langer,
Roger Chapman and Joe Daley atop the
leaderboard after the second round of the
Champions Tours Mississippi Gulf Resort
Classic.
Pavin took advantage of Fallen Oaks soft
greens in ideal windless conditions.
Langer had a 65, Chapman shot 67, and
Daley had a 66.
Defending champion Fred Couples
also had a good day, shooting a 66 to stay
within striking distance at two strokes off
the lead. Its a crowded leaderboard, with
14 players within three strokes of the lead.
The round was delayed for more than an
hour because of afternoon thunderstorms.
Malaysian Open
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia Thai-
lands Kiradech Aphibarnrat led the Malay-
sian Open at 11 under when third-round
play was suspended because of thunder-
storms at Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country
Club.
Kiradech completed only two holes in
the third round before play was stopped for
the day South Africas Charl Schwartzel,
the 2011 Masters champion, was a stroke
back, also after two holes.
Three-time major winner Padraig Har-
rington was tied for third at 9 under. He
played four holes.
Third-ranked Luke Donald missed the
cut, completing a second-round 73 on
Saturday to nish at 3 over.
The tournament is sanctioned by the
European and Asian tours.

NEWARK, N.J. Travis Za-
jac set up two goals, and the
New Jersey Devils rode another
solid performance by Martin
Brodeur to a 2-1 victory over the
Florida Panthers on Saturday
night.
Patrik Elias and David Clark-
son scored for New Jersey, and
Brodeur nished with 17 saves
as the Devils won their second
straight since the 40-year-old
goalie returned to the lineup af-
ter being sidelined a month with
a pinched nerve in his neck.
The victory might have been
costly for New Jersey as star for-
ward Ilya Kovalchuk missed the
nal 10 minutes after crashing
into the boards.
Peter Mueller scored for
Florida, which had a two-game
winning streak snapped. Scott
Clemmensen made 23 saves for
the Panthers, who are on a sea-
son-high, ve-game road trip.
This was the rst meeting
between the teams since the
Devils eliminated the Panthers
in double overtime in Game 7
of their rst-round playoff series
last season.
There was some chippiness at
the end of the game when Scot-
tie Upshall hit Devils captain
Bryce Salvador behind the net
after the nal buzzer.
New Jerseys Adam Henrique,
who scored the series winner
last year, exchanged shoves
with Tomas Fleischmann before
order was restored.
After being held to two shots
in the rst period, the Devils
got two goals in the second. Za-
jac took advantage of Panthers
turnovers in center ice to set up
both goals.
The rst mistake came early
in the period. Filip Kuba banked
the puck off the boards to center
ice, but one of his teammates
inadvertently nudged it back to-
ward the Florida blue line. Zajac
gathered the puck at the right
point, skated into the zone, and
sent a cross-ice pass to Elias,
who came down the middle
for a redirection through Clem-
mensens pads at 1:24.
It was Elias 10th goal, the
15th straight season he has
scored in double gures.
Another bad clearing pass led
to Clarksons team-high 12th
goal, but only his second in 18
games.
Vanek scores 2 in Sabres win
over Canadiens
Sabres 2, Canadiens 1
MONTREAL - Thomas Vanek
scored two goals to lead the Buf-
falo Sabres to a win over the
Montreal Canadiens.
It was the Sabres (13-15-4)
third straight win in a run that
began with an overtime victory
in Montreal on Tuesday. Ryan
Miller stopped 39 shots in this
one for Buffalo.
Michael Ryder scored the
lone goal for Montreal (20-6-5),
and Carey Price made 16 saves.
The Sabres broke the score-
less deadlock midway through
the second period during a
5-on-3 power play. With Mike
Blunden and P.K. Subban in
the box, the Sabres tried to nd
a shooting lane. Defenseman
Christian Ehrhoff found one
at 10:25, ring a shot from the
point that deected in off Vanek
for his 15th of the season.
Canucks 1, Kings 0
LOS ANGELES Cory
Schneider made 20 saves en
route to his sixth NHL shutout,
Mason Raymond scored in the
rst period, and the Vancouver
Canucks beat the Los Angeles
Kings for their third straight vic-
tory.
The defending Stanley Cup
champion Kings, coming off
a 2-0 home loss to Dallas on
Thursday in which they had 40
shots, were shut out for the third
time this season. It is the rst
time they have been blanked in
consecutive games since Feb.
16-18, 2012.
Schneider has played the last
three games for the Canucks,
facing 88 shots and allowing
only three goals. His other shut-
out this season was on Jan. 26 at
Anaheim.
The Canucks, who main-
tained their share of the North-
west Division lead with Min-
nesota, scored the only goal at
11:06 of the rst period.
Wild 2, Sharks 0
ST. PAUL, Minn. Niklas
Backstrom made 33 saves for
his rst shutout of the season,
and Ryan Suter had two more
assists, leading Minnesota past
San Jose for the Wilds season-
high fth straight victory.
Zach Parise and Jared Spur-
geon scored for Minnesota. The
Wild are 14-5-1 in their last 20
games, and have won by at least
two goals in each victory in the
streak.
Backstrom swatted aside An-
drew Desjardins penalty shot
barely 3 minutes into the game.
The goalie is 13-3-1 in his last 17
games, giving up two goals or
fewer in 13 of those turns.
Antti Niemi made several
tough stops among his 22 saves
for the Sharks,
The Sharks won their rst
seven games, but since then
they have been unable to stay
in a groove. They fell to 2-5-2 in
their last nine.
Senators 5, Lightning 3
OTTAWA Jakob Silfver-
berg, Eric Gryba, Guillaume
Latendresse and Daniel Alfreds-
son scored in a 7:01 span in the
rst period, and Ottawa held off
Tampa Bay.
Alfredsson also had an emp-
ty-net goal in the nal minute.
Robin Lehner made 29 saves,
and Marc Methot, who missed
the last game because of a knee
injury, and Kyle Turris each had
two assists.
Tyler Johnson scored twice in
the third period for Tampa Bay,
and Teddy Purcell made it 4-3
with 1:59 left.
Mathieu Garon was yanked
from the Tampa Bay net in the
rst period after allowing three
goals on the rst 11 shots. Ce-
drick Desjardins was strong in
relief, making 19 saves.
Maple Leafs 3, Bruins 2
TORONTO -- Nazem Kadri
scored in the rst period, and
Frazer McLaren added a timely
goal in the third as the Toronto
Maple Leafs ended an eight-
game losing streak to the Bru-
ins.
The Bruins tried to rally from
a 3-0 hole in the third period,
throwing everything they had
at Toronto in the nal minutes.
The teams will meet again on
Monday in Boston.
Dennis Seidenberg and An-
drew Ference, who scored after
the goalie was pulled, had goals
for the Bruins. Boston held a 33-
13 edge in shots.
Mikhail Grabovski also scored
for Toronto (17-12-3), which did
a lot with a little offense in a
game in which both teams mis-
red. The Maple Leafs had four
shots in the rst period, ve in
the second, and four in the third
but managed to score a goal in
each frame.
Blues activate Oshie
ST. LOUIS -- The St. Louis
Blues activated forward T.J. Os-
hie from the injured list in time

jury, has ve goals and 12 assists
in 26 games.
NEW YORK Carmelo
Anthony scored 28 points, Ke-
nyon Martin had another big
game against Toronto, and the
New York Knicks nished off a
home-and-home sweep of the
Raptors with a 110-84 victory
Saturday night.
J.R. Smith added 25 points
for the Knicks, who beat the
Raptors for the second straight
night and won their fourth con-
secutive game. Martin had 18
points and seven rebounds, a
night after he had 19 points and
11 rebounds in the Knicks vic-
tory in Toronto that clinched a
playoff berth.
DeMar DeRozan scored 17
points for the Raptors, who
played without leading scorer
Rudy Gay because of a bad back
and lost their fourth straight.
Knicks rookie Chris Cope-
land led a rendition of Happy
Birthday before the game for
Kidd, but the night belonged
to Martin, Kidds teammate in
New Jersey long ago who has
helped the Knicks overcome
a number of injuries in their
frontcourt.
Pistons 92, Bobcats 91
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Char-
lie Villanueva scored 14 of his
18 points in the fourth quarter,
including a go-ahead driving
layup with 15 seconds left, and
the Detroit Pistons defeated
the Charlotte Bobcats to snap a
10-game losing streak.
Kemba Walker had 25 points
and Bismack Biyombo had 12
points and 10 rebounds for the
Bobcats, who had their two-
game winning streak snapped.
The NBA-worst Bobcats had
the ball and a chance to win the
game with 14 seconds left, but
Walker missed an off-balanced
leaner in the lane and Josh
McRoberts reverse layup after
an offensive rebound didnt fall
as time expired.

Counting points:
Everyone should
be able to do it
N
o disrespect to Pennsylvanias
senior hunters, but I dont
believe they should be exempt
from antler restrictions. As some of
the most experienced hunters, I have
faith that senior hunters are perfectly
capable of following the antler restric-
tions established for the areas they
hunt.
Several members of the state senate,
however, believe otherwise.
Senate Bill 547 cleared the Game
and Fisheries Committee this month
and is headed to the oor. The bill
exempts senior license holders from
antler restrictions, allowing them to
shoot a buck under the old provisions
two or more points or one antler
that is at least 3 inches in length.
Antler restrictions come in two
forms three points or better on
one side (including the brow tine) or
three up (which eliminates the need
to look for a brow tine when three
points can be identied on one of the
main beams). If senior hunters are
expected to determine if one antler is
at least 3 inches in length, then its not
too much to ask them to count points.
Of all the deer hunting regulations
that the Pennsylvania Game Commis-
sion has passed in recent years, antler
restrictions are one rule that, in my
opinion, the majority of hunters agree
on. Its clear that years of antler restric-
tions have allowed bucks to grow older
and larger, evident by the increase in
record book deer taken each hunting
season.
To allow one segment of hunters
an exemption to the current provi-
sions is a step backward. Its basically
saying that yes, antler restrictions
are important, but not so critical that
every group of hunters has to abide by
them. Junior hunters are also expempt
from antler restrictions. Why? I guess
to increase the odds that theyll be able
to shoot a buck.
Thats great, but it sends the wrong
message. By exempting junior hunters
from antler restrictions, were basi-
cally telling them that the kill is more
important than sound wildlife manage-
ment.
But when it comes to senior hunters,
Im not really sure that they need a
break from antler restrictions.
State Sen. Tim Solobay (D-Canons-
burg) introduced the bill in response
to comments he has recieved from his
constituents.
Many of the seniors Ive heard from
face difcult physical challenges and I
think most of my colleagues support
giving them a slight advantage when it
comes to getting a buck, Solobay said.
Theyve paid their dues and passed
on their tradition.
Yes, our senior hunters have paid
their dues, and as a result they are
some of the most experienced, capable
outdoorsmen in the state. They know
how to hunt and they can certainly
count points.
But what really gets me about SB
547 is why its even being discussed by
the legislature in the rst place.
Antler restrictions are a deer man-
agement issue and, as such, its one
that should be handled by the PGC
board.
Sure, the PGC has made its share of
mistakes over the years when it comes
to deer management, but is this really
an issue we want our legislators to
dictate?
No doubt the bill was in response
to complaints that several senators re-
ceived from constituents about antler
restrictions.
While the bill may address those
complaints, is giving senior license
holders an exemption from antler
restrictions really in the best interest
of deer management?
Id rather the PGC board make that
determination.

Jeanie Smith was looking for wildowers in Fran-
ces Slocum State Park last spring when she spotted
a large bird y above with a sh in its talons. The
bird landed in a tree along the lake, so Smith
switched her focus from wildowers to snapping a
photo of the mysterious raptor.

PENNSYLVANIA GAME COMMISSION PHOTO
Skunks are a rabies vector species and they accounted for the third-highest number of positive tests last year with 46, behind
raccoons and bats.
Rabies threat serious
in light of misconceptions
When three Wilkes-Barre residents were
bitten by a rabid cat earlier this month, the
occurrence seemed a bit odd.
Usually, rabies cases are associated with
raccoons, bats and skunks. But accord-
ing to Pennsylvania Game Commission
gures, cats account for the fourth-highest
number of rabies cases in the state be-
hind raccoons, bats and skunks.
Cats are pretty prone to it, said Bill
Williams, the PGCs information and
education supervisor for the Northeast
Region. If theyre allowed to roam lose,
theres a higher probability that theyll con-
tract it. The risk is also raised when people
feed stray cats, because that attracts
skunks and raccoons as well, and congre-
gates them all so contact is common.
Wildlife Conservation Ofcer Gerald
Kapral, whose district includes the Wilkes-
Barre area, said skunks and raccoons trig-
ger most of the calls he gets concerning
possible rabies cases. Considering most
of the rabies calls come from urban areas,
Kapral suspects there are more feral cats at
risk of contracting rabies.
There are so many feral cats out there
that, sooner or later, theyre going to come
in contact with a rabid animal, Kapral said.
Im surprised we dont see more of it.
Locally, rabies cases in wild animals
arent as prevalent as in the southeast and
western parts of the state, where there is
more urban area. In 2012, Luzerne County
only had two positive rabies tests a cat
and a skunk. Allegheny and York counties
had the most with 24, followed by Chester
with 23 and Centre with 18.
Still, that doesnt mean the PGC doesnt
get many rabies calls from residents in the
northeast. Williams said the calls peak in
the spring and summer.
Kapral said he could get ve calls a
week and then nothing for a month. Most
of the time, he said, a call about an animal
acting strangely doesnt turn out to be a
rabies case.
It could have another disease with
similar symptoms or it could be displaying
mating behavior, Kapral said. People see
a skunk out in daytime and think it has ra-
bies, but this is the time of year then they
are mating and acting at odd times.
WCO Dave Allen said a lot of his po-
tential rabies cases turn out to be animals
with distemper or conjunctivitis an eye
infection.
The last animal I had test positive was
a groundhog about seven years ago. It was
in Freeland and bit a persons foot, Allen
said. With any of these rabies calls, theres
no way to tell if it has the disease unless
the animal is euthanized and tested.
Williams said the agency tests animals
only if they have come into contact with
people or pets. Typical signs that some-
thing may be amiss with a wild animal
include being active during the day, acting
lethargic and tipping over, aggressiveness
or submissiveness or spinning in circles.
Foaming at the mouth, Williams said, isnt
an identifying behavior for rabies.
Thats a television thing, he said.
If an animal didnt come into contact with
a person or pet, the PGC doesnt bother
to test it because they already know that
rabies can be present anywhere, Williams
said. There is no need to test animals just to
determine the range of the disease.
The best course of action, Williams add-
ed, is to simply avoid picking up wildlife
and call the Game Commission (675-1143)
if you do see an animal displaying signs
that it may be sick.
As wildlife start to have their young in
the spring, people tend to pick them up
thinking theyre abandoned and they get
an emotional attachment to that animal,
Williams said. They dont feel theres
any threat, but we still have to look at the
seriousness of the rabies disease and the
potential that exists because there was
contact.

Last year, more than 404 animals tested
positive for rabies in the state, according to
the Pennsylvania Game Commission. The fol-

Rabies isnt the only wildlife disease that
the Pennsylvania Game Commission is
monitoring. Chronic wasting disease has been
found in wild deer in the state, and each hunt-
ing season the agency tests harvested deer
in every region of the state to determine if
CWD is spreading. So far, the disease hasnt
been found in the northeast, agency spokes-
man Bill Williams said. Last year, the agency
sampled 550 deer in the northeast and test
results for half have come back negative for
CWD, with the remaining results expected
back in the next couple of weeks.
Aside from testing hunter-killed deer, the
agency will also test those animals that show
signs of CWD, such as drooling and emacia-
tion.

Early trout opener
Anglers from 18 southeastern
counties are gearing up for the
March 30 opening of trout,
which marks the unofcial start
of the shing season.
The buildup to opening day
is just as exciting as the day
itself, said John Arway, execu-
tive director of the Pennsylva-
nia Fish and Boat Commission
(PFBC).
Anglers are busy clean-
ing their gear, stocking up on
supplies, and hopefully buying
a few new rods and reels. And
stocking schedules are posted
to the commissions website,
so the last step for anglers is to
pick the spots they want to sh
that day.
The 18 counties open
March 30 include Adams,
Berks, Bucks, Chester, Cum-
berland, Dauphin, Delaware,
Franklin, Juniata, Lancaster,
Lebanon, Lehigh, Montgomery,
Northampton, Perry, Philadel-
phia, Schuylkill and York. April
13 is the traditional opening
day for the rest of the state.
Visit the PFBCs website to see
detailed stocking schedules,
which can be easily sorted by
county. The schedule shows
what waters will be stocked,
the date and time, and a meet-
ing place where volunteers can
gather to help with the stock-
ing.
While opening day is one of
the biggest shing days of the
year, its also one of the biggest
social events, Arway added.
Research shows that when it
comes to shing, anglers like
being together with friends and
family just as much as they like
catching sh.
The PFBCs great white
eet of stocking trucks has
been busy since mid-February
replenishing Pennsylvanias
waterways with a fresh supply
of brook, brown and rainbow
trout. Every year, the PFBC
stocks about 3.2 million trout
in waterways across the state.
More than 850,000 anglers buy
a shing license each year.
For the rst time this year,
anglers can purchase multi-year
shing licenses, including a
resident three-year license for
$64.70, or a resident ve-year
license for $106.70. Resident
three-year and ve-year trout
permits cost $25.70 and $41.70.
A one-year resident sh-
ing license costs $22.70, and a
trout-salmon permit is $9.70. A
license is required for anyone 16
and older. Licenses can be pur-
chased at sporting goods stores
and online at www.shandboat.

Susquehanna River plan
The Department of Environ-
mental Protection released a
work plan outlining intensive
efforts to continue studying
and sampling dozens of loca-
tions in the Susquehanna River
basin throughout the year.
DEPs ongoing efforts include
analysis of water quality, water
ow, sediment, pesticides,
hormones, invertebrates, sh
tissue and other areas of study.
Portions of the study will focus
on areas of the river or its tribu-
taries where smallmouth bass
reproduce.
The scientists and experts
here at DEP have, quite simply,
done an incredible amount of
work on this complex issue
over the past few years, DEP
secretary Mike Krancer said.
Our staff will continue this
comprehensive, fact-based
approach, working with our
partners at the Fish and Boat
Commission, the Susquehanna
River Basin Commission and
the U.S. Geological Survey.
The actual cause or causes
of the issues we have seen with
the smallmouth bass have not
yet been determined or linked
to any particular water quality
issue, he said. But DEP is
dedicated to working with our
partners to nd the answer.
The agencys sampling efforts
will be focused on sites along
the Susquehanna at Marietta,
City Island and Sunbury and
along the Juniata River at the
Lewistown Narrows and New-
port. A site along the Delaware
River near Trenton, N.J., will
be used as a control site. Staff
will test for various water qual-
ity parameters, like dissolved
oxygen, temperature and pH,
at multiple sites in the Susque-
hanna. Samples of sh, mus-
sels and macroinvertebrates,
such as mayies, will also be
collected.
Fish tissue from bass col-
lected during spawning season
will be analyzed for pesticides,
PCBs and metals. DEP will also
work with the U.S. Geological
Survey to analyze fatty tissue
from healthy and diseased sh
to determine the effects of dif-
ferent environmental factors.
In the coming weeks, DEP
will sample for pesticides at
existing water quality network
stations along the Susquehan-
na, Juniata and Delaware rivers.
Samples will be collected dur-
ing some rain events, as that is
when pesticides and herbicides
are more likely to wash into the
river.
DEP will analyze the samples
for 54 different compounds.
The study also calls for analysis
of sediment samples and in-
stream monitoring data, to be
collected at spawning areas,
that examines for pesticides
and hormonal compounds. Staff
will also take water quality
samples from 32 sites in the
tributaries of the Susquehanna
River basin to better character-
ize the entire watershed.
The agencys biologists
continue to consult with a
contracted algal expert to
analyze samples collected in
areas where young-of-year
bass have died off or where
algal blooms have occurred
in the past. Water samples
from algae-heavy areas will be
analyzed for total suspended
solids, ammonia, nitrogen and
phosphorus to determine the
relationship between nutrient
run-off, or discharges, and algae
growth. Excessive algae may be
indicative of poor water quality
and can inhibit aquatic life and
recreational activity, such as
shing.
DEP continues to wait for -
nal approval from the U.S. Envi-
ronmental Protection Agency of
its nal 2012 Integrated Waters
report, a biannual assessment
of the states rivers and streams
required by the federal Clean
Water Act. The report describes
the health of various waterways
in the state and, where needed,
DEP proposes listing water-
ways as impaired.

Shipping costs
can surprise
home shoppers
Anyone who
orders something
off the Internet,
TV or via a catalog
usually expects to
pay some sort of
shipping and han-
dling fee unless, of
course, theres a special promotion.
But did you ever get charged three
or four shipping fees when everything
you ordered was sent in one package?
Ive ordered many things off the
TV before and never had this prob-
lem before, said Blanche Mayer, 81,
of Southgate, Mich.
She spotted a product called wax-
Vac on TV that promised to replace
cotton swabs and gently suction dirt
and wax from her ears. Mayer gured
the cost with shipping would be less
than $25.
Instead, the product that was sup-
posed to clean her ears ended up
cleaning out her wallet. She was
talked into ordering more accesso-
ries. And she was charged $83.90,
including all those unexpected ship-
ping fees.
each item that was purchased
was charged postage and handling,
Mayer said. She rattled off two fees
at $4.99 and two others that were
$13.98.
All told, were talking about $38 in
fees for items that cost Mayer about
$8 to ship back to the company. The
ear wax softening drops, disposable
tips, brushes and main product were
not heavy. They were as light as a
feather, she said.
Consumer complaints about shop-
at-home and catalog sales ranked
no. 4 on the Federal Trade Com-
missions Top 10 complaint list. The
top complaint was identity theft, fol-
lowed by debt collection complaints
and then complaints about banks and
lenders ranked no. 3.
we may be more comfortable about
buying things at home. But there are
some fees that will denitely get you
angry, as Mayer was when she saw
her bill. In the past, Ive heard other
consumers complain about skin care
products that had more shipping
charges on each item even though
all the products came in the same
box.
But quite frankly, as someone who
helpedelderly parents for many years,
Ill admit I quickly lose patience with
products or procedures that add one
more minute of confusion or heart-
ache for the elderly. They just dont
need it.
David Torok, director of planning
and information at the Federal Trade
Commission, said a wide range of
complaints falls into that shop-at-
home category.
Types of complaints: All the costs
arent disclosed, the product is nev-
er delivered, or the guarantee isnt
much of a guarantee.
But shipping and handling fees can
be a trouble spot, too, particularly on
health care products.
Some free trial offers have ended
up as fee trials or deals that un-
expectedly generate more fees by au-
tomatically signing you up for recur-
ring shipments or services.
The trick here: Make sure you read
each line of your credit card bill every
month.
And yes, its not always easy to spot
bad deals.
If you see a $7.99 charge on your
credit card bill, you might blow right
by it, said Bill hardekopf, Ceo of
LowCards.com in Birmingham, Ala.,
a website that provides credit card in-
formation for consumers.
hardekopf said he got stuck with
one recurring charge program him-
self once and didnt spot it right away.
The FTC has noted that some
dishonest businesses often hide the
terms and conditions of their offers
in very small type or use pre-checked
sign-up boxes as the default setting
online.
Some companies may put condi-
tions on returns and cancellations
that are so strict it could be next to
impossible to stop the deliveries and
the billing.
Mayers bill notes that waxVac can
be returned for a full refund within 30
days of receipt. But heres the trick in

LoS AnGeLeS At a spot on
Sunset Boulevard and Vine Street in
hollywood, visitors scoop up sushi,
taste frozen yogurt and order lattes.
But this isnt a restaurant or even
a fancy supermarket. Its that Main
Street staple: walgreens.
Its like an amusement park,
gushed west hollywood resident
Brent Leonesio, 30, as he eyed the
line of people waiting to pick up caf-
feinated drinks to go. Theyve kind
of made this into a destination. Its
actually fun to come here.
once mainstays for late-night
snack runs and toilet paper emergen-
cies, drugstores are shaking off their
stale image and going upscale.
walgreen Co., for example, is open-
ing glossy stores that feature sushi
chefs and enormous alcohol selec-
tions. CVS stores have added fresh
sandwiches and produce. Rite Aid
Corp. has been revamping its loca-
tions and bringing in packaged or-

Drugstores are trying to gure out

where everyone is selling every-
thing.
Drugstores arent just competing
with one another, theyre also taking
on brick-and-mortar retailers of all
sizes, analysts said.
The $220-billion industry is up
against big-box chains such as wal-
Mart and Target, which are expand-
ing their grocery sections. even dol-
lar stores are offering steak and fresh
fruit.
on yet another front, drugstores
are ghting online merchants that
cater to tech-savvy customers who
are comfortable ordering mouthwash
and prescription medication over the
Internet.
Shoppers are just getting more
savvy and into buying things online,
so drugstores have to evolve to keep
customers just like other traditional
retailers, said Dane Leone, a senior
research analyst at Macquarie Bank.
Theyre also learning that in plac-
es like L.A. and new york, people
want the option of picking up high-
end fresh food when they go ll their
prescription.
In an earlier time, of course, drug-
stores such as Schwabs Pharmacy
and ve-and-dime chains such as
woolworths employed waitresses
to dish up ice cream to teenagers on
dates and quick lunches to working
stiffs.
now they have morphed into cafes
catering to on-the-go customers who
expect gourmet fare made before
their eyes.

New yoRK Ka-ching! The cash register may be on its nal sale.
Stores across the country are ditching the old-fashioned, clunky machines and having
salespeople and even shoppers themselves ring up sales on smartphones and tablet
computers. Barneys New York, a luxury retailer, this year plans to use iPads or iPod
Touch devices for credit and debit card purchases in seven of its nearly two dozen regular-
price stores. Urban outtters, a teen clothing chain, ordered its last traditional register last
fall and plans to go completely mobile one day. And wal-Mart, the worlds largest retailer, is
testing a Scan & Go app that lets customers scan their items as they shop.

The traditional cash register is
heading toward obsolescence, said
Danielle Vitale, chief operating of-
cer of Barneys new york.
That the cash register is getting
the boot is no surprise. The writing
has been on the wall for a long time
for the iconic machine, which was
created in the late 1800s. The reg-
ister was essential in nearly every
retail location by 1915, but it now
seems outdated in a world in which
smartphones and tablets increas-
ingly are replacing everything from
books to ATMs to cameras.
Stores like smartphones and tab-
lets because they take up less oor
space than registers and free up
cashiers to help customers instead
of being tethered to one spot. They
also are cheaper: For instance, Ap-
ple Inc.s iPads with accessories like
credit card readers can cost a store
$1,500, compared with $4,000 for
a register. And Americans increas-
ingly want the same speedy service
in physical stores that they get from
shopping online.
Consumers want the retailer to
bring the register to them, said
Lori Schafer, executive adviser at
SAS Institute Inc., which creates
software for major retailers.

BUSINESS AGENDA
By Marie G. Mcintyre
McClatchy-Tribune News Service
Q: I believe my employer is
taking advantage of me. This
company hired me to do tele-
phone sales as an independent
contractor, which means that I
am paid strictly on commission
with no benets. There are no
other contractors in the ofce
where I am located.
My problem is that the ofce
supervisor keeps giving me
additional tasks. She frequently
tells me to order supplies, make
travel arrangements or answer
the phone. These activities in-
terfere with my sales calls, and
I receive no pay for doing them.
Im usually a cheerful person,
but now I feel irritated all the
time. Whats your advice?
a: If your company has a
human resources department,
thats where this problem be-
longs. Independent contractor
has a specic legal denition,
which may never have been ex-
plained to this supervisor. The
HR manager should be able to
educate her about the limits of
your work activities.
On the other hand, if this is
a very small business, you may
need to address the problem
directly. To reduce your irrita-
tion, try making the reasonable
assumption that the supervisor
simply doesnt understand your
circumstances.
For example: Mary, I need
to talk with you about how Im
spending my time. Because I
was hired as a contractor, I only
get paid when I make a sale.
Unfortunately, I now seem to
be involved in a lot of unpaid
activities. Although I want to
be helpful, I really need to start
focusing on my sales calls.
After that, when the supervi-
sor approaches you about an ex-
tra task, indicate that you have
many calls to make and ask if
someone else could handle it.
Just be sure to explain your
unique payroll status to your co-
workers. Otherwise, they might
logically assume that you are
trying to avoid work.
Q: One of my colleagues
keeps taking les from my
ofce without permission. I
manage a school health room
where we have medical records
on every student. When-
ever someone is transferring to
another school, the secretary
walks down to my ofce and
gets the medical le, even if I
am not there.
Before these records are sent
elsewhere, I need to review
them to be sure the information
is up to date. I have asked the
secretary for some advance no-
tice, but she continues to take
les without telling me. This
is driving me absolutely crazy.
How can I stop her?
a: Thats simple. Lock the le
cabinet. Because health records
should always be protected from
prying eyes, this action will be
easy to explain. If the current
cabinet has no lock, you have a
legitimate reason for requesting
a newone. Give your boss a key,
along with a warning that the
secretary might complain.
When your intrusive co-work-
er inquires about this change,
explain the need for security and
assure her that you will provide
requested les within twenty-
four hours. This is just another
example of howconfrontations
can sometimes be avoided by fo-
cusing on business needs instead
of interpersonal irritations.

Product Trend has received a
series of complaints from con-
sumers who have contacted the
Better Business Bureau. The
BBB lists WaxVac as one of the
alternative business names.
Other business names or prod-
ucts fromProduct Trend include
Stretch Genie, Wraptastic, Fur-
niture Fix and Comfy Cushion.
According to BBB les, the
company has a pattern of com-
plaints concerning advertising,
sales and customer service is-
sues.
The BBB report noted that
some consumers have had a
hard time ordering just one item
because the review process is
difcult and larger orders seem
to be automatically placed.
Consumers also reported a
hard time canceling orders.
Product Trend has a D rating
on the Better Business Bureaus
grading scale of A-plus to F. See
www.bbb.org. The low rating is
attributedto the lengthof time it
has taken to resolve complaints,
two complaints that were not
resolved and the fact there were
281 complaints overall.
A representative from Prod-
uct Trend did not comment on
the fees or the Better Business
Bureau report or Mayers case.
The most recent comment from
a representative Wednesday was
that the company had request-
ed the recording of the call to
review it.
Kathryn Lampron, legal af-
fairs manager for Hampton Di-
rect in Williston, Vt., said in an
email that she needed an oppor-
tunity to review that call before
she could fully address my con-
cerns.
Ive also requested a copy of
the invoice that the customer
received to review how the
charges were broken out and en-
sure that the invoice coincides
with what was ordered over the
phone, she wrote in the email.
She noted that it can take the
third-party call center as long as
10 days to provide call record-
ings.
While its not always easy to
nd a resolution with billing
practices, many experts recom-
mend that consumers who are
upset with practices at any com-
pany take some action anyway.
Complain. Ask for refunds.
Talk to the company rst to
try to resolve the dispute. Be
persistent even if someone
says you agreed to some ne
print that you never spotted.
Mayer contacted her credit
card issuer to dispute the charg-
es and she said shes thankful
that her bank is working with
her. But shes going to keep an
eye on her credit card state-
ments, too just in case any
other charges pop up.
The FTCs Torok said some
credit card issuers are more will-
ing to deal with a dispute if
theyve had a lot of complaints
about a specic company. But
consumer advocates note that
speaking up can help when try-
ing to get your money back.
Companies that have shaky
practices are betting that con-
sumers will just shrug off the
loss or possibly be too embar-
rassed to make their beef public.
After all, who wants to admit
having ear wax woes?

pulled the plug on its high-end Beauty 360
stores, an experiment conceived in 2008
to carry more prestigious brands and offer
spa-like services such as express facials and
hand massages for the time-starved wom-

To succeed, chains have to dedicate
time to changing shoppers expectations
of drugstores, said Judson Clark, an equity
analyst at Edward Jones & Co.
There is an adjustment period, he said.
But back in the 1950s, Walgreens had full-
blown restaurants where our grandparents
ate, and as they went away entire genera-
tions forgot about them. But 10 years from
now, people could very well think How
could CVS not have sushi?
At the Hollywood Walgreens, which
opened in November as the chains West
Coast agship store, shoppers can pick up
$300 bottles of tequila and consult a virtu-
al bartender (a touch-screen panel in the
liquor section) that dispenses cocktail reci-
pes to aspiring mixologists. The fresh food
section offers luxe fare such as octopus sal-
ad and green olives with hummus. Theres
also a juice bar whipping up smoothies.
Hollywood resident Alisa Taylor, 24, is
a fan. Initially a skeptic of fancy drug-
stores, she now stops by the Walgreens
almost daily to stock up on wine and pick
up sushi and other meals when she doesnt
feel like cooking.
I just like to say I had dinner at Wal-
greens, and no one understands what Im
saying, or they just think I ate chips and
soda, said Taylor, who works as an assis-
tant at a talent agency.
You can make a nice meal out of stuff
you nd here, and no one knows you didnt
go to Trader Joes, she said, adding joking-
ly: The convenience is a little dangerous.
Bryan Pugh, a Walgreen vice president,
said the chain has six so-called agship
stores open and 10 under construction in
dense cities including San Francisco and
Miami. Walgreen also owns the New York-
based Duane Reade chain, which has de-
buted locations with salad bars and shoe
shining services.

PERKING UP
Optimism is rising on Wall Street. Stocks
have surged through early 2013, and
strategists at some of Wall Streets
biggest firms say they will likely climb
further. Last week, Goldman Sachs and
Morgan Stanley raised their forecasts for
the Standard & Poors 500 index. A week
earlier, Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank
did the same.
Much of the optimism comes from
expectations for bigger profits. The
economy looks stronger than initially
expected the latest jobs report and
others have topped economists forecasts
and that should translate into higher
earnings, says Deutsche Banks David
Bianco. He says the S&P 500 could end
2013 at 1,625, up 4 percent from Fridays
close of 1,556.89.

Fewer workers are saving for retirement. Just 57
percent of workers say they or their spouse are
currently socking money away for retirement.
Thats down from a high of 65 percent in 2009, and
its the lowest rate since at least 2001, according
to the Employee Benefit Research Institute.
Workers are preoccupied with bigger
problems, EBRI
says. In its
survey, 12
percent said that
just making ends
meet is their
biggest financial
concern today,

TAKINGA FLIER
Airline stocks have been notoriously bad investments historically. High fuel
prices, labor costs and low revenue pushed the domestic industry to lose
$54.5 billion from 2001 through 2010, according to industry group Airlines
for America. Warren Buffett told
shareholders in 1998 that his
earlier investment in USAirways
compiled a record that is un-
blemished by success.
But some investors are taking
a fresh look at the industry. Ase-
ries of mergers and bankruptcies
has brought consolidation to the
industry, which means less risk
of too much supply chasing after
too little demand, says Craig
Hodges, who helps run the
Hodges Small Cap fund
(HDPSX). USAirways is one of
the funds top holdings.

Who he is: Co-manager of the
Wells Fargo Advantage Dow
Jones Target Date funds
What he suggests: Stick with just
one target-date fund in a
retirement account
Answers edited for content and
clarity.
Jim Lauder
Target-date mutual funds were
supposed to make saving for retire-
ment easy. They were built to be
the only fund that an investor held
in a retirement account, controlling
risk by shifting from risky stocks to
safer bonds over time.
But some investors hold a mix
of mutual funds in their 401(k)
accounts, with a target-date
fund here and a couple other
kinds of funds there. Jim Lauder
discourages such use.
Is there a wrong way to use a
target-date fund?
Weve been preaching diversifica-
tion for the last 30 years and people
say, Gosh, I cant hold just one
fund. So they feel like theyve got
to hold more than one. But I think
that can be very dangerous. The
problem is that, for most investors,
momentum works against them.
So target-date funds are an
all-or-nothing kind of thing?
Theyre designed to be all-or-
nothing. Were supposed to be
accounting for all the worthy asset
classes and assessing the risk
of them and doing the modeling.
Were supposed to be accounting
for that for you, based on when
youre going to retire.
Different target-date funds,
though, can have pretty different
strategies.
Theres a lot of difference in how
these funds are constructed,
especially in how much risk they
take closer to retirement.
People are starting to get more
sophisticated in the way that they
evaluate target-date funds, and they
realize that every 2010 target-date
fund is not the same. They may
have the same date in the name,
but its not necessarily taking
the same amount of risk. (Note:
The Wells Fargo funds are more
conservative than other offerings.
Its fund built for retirees lost 3
percent in 2008 when its peers lost
an average of 18 percent, though
Morningstar says it lagged its peers
in three of the four ensuing years.)
Investors have started putting
money back into stock funds this
year. Will the trend continue?
Theres a lot of cash on the
sidelines, so I do think theres going
to be continued flow into the market.
The market is up over 100 percent
from the bottom, but most individual
investors havent captured that
yet, and youve got people chasing
those returns.
How worrying is it that investors
waited until the market got close
to a record high to get back in?
It is history repeating itself. People
continue to chase returns and then
panic at the bottom and exit and
lock in those losses.
So does the contrarian in you
say that nows the time to get out
of stocks?
The markets not going to continue
at this pace that weve seen the first
few months of the year. You might
have some fits and starts, like we
saw last year.

UNH
Dow Jones
industrial average
Thursdays close $55.06
UnitedHealth Group became one
of the 30 stocks in the Dow Jones
industrial average six months ago.
Although the blue chip index has
since risen to record heights, the
stock of the nations largest health
insurance company hasnt
participated in the rally.
So far this year the stock is up
1.5 percent compared with a 10
percent rise in the Dow. The broader Standard and
Poors 500 index is up 8 percent. Even though United-
Health is trailing the market, financial analysts still give
the stock an average buy rating. So whats going on?
UnitedHealth had risen nearly 6 percent by
mid-February, but its stock took a hit, along with other
health insurers, after data released
by the federal government pointed
to possible steep Medicare
Advantage payment cuts in 2014.
Medicare Advantage plans are
privately run versions of the
governments Medicare program
that covers the elderly and disabled.
Companies receive federal funds to
offer the coverage. UnitedHealth is
the largest provider of the plans, followed by Humana.
News of possible cuts has scared some investors
who fear the potential decline in revenue. But the
impact may not be so severe. Final rates are expected
on April 1 and financial analysts say the government
will likely find ways to soften the blow.
Tom Murphy, Jenni Sohn AP Sources: FactSet *annualized ^ based on last 12 months results
Size matters Although Medicare Advantage plans represent 21 percent of UnitedHealths revenue, Goldman
Sachs says its less vulnerable to payment cuts than smaller insurers where that proportion is much higher.

Stock buybacks should be good for
investors, in theory.
By reducing the number of shares
in the market, buybacks mean the
remaining shares lay claim to a bigger
proportion of the companys profits. But
thats not how buybacks always work
in practice. Often, repurchases simply
offset the creation of new shares.
But some companies do
significantly reduce their overall share
count through buybacks. This screen
from Citi Research shows large
companies that have reduced their
share count by more than 10 percent
over the last 12 months.
Its been a winning strategy
historically, for companies around the
world. Stocks of large companies that
have reduced their share count by at
least 5 percent in the prior 12 months
have beaten the MSCI World index in
nine of the last 12 years, going back
to 2000.

Yields, mortgage rates fall
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note remained
below 2 percent last week, pulling rates down on
various kinds of consumer loans. The average rate
on a 30-year mortgage fell for the only the second
time in the last nine weeks, for example. It sits at
3.54 percent, down from 3.63 percent a week ear-
lier, according to Freddie Mac.

The traditional cash regis-
ter is heading toward obsoles-
cence, said Danielle Vitale,
chief operating ofcer of Bar-
neys New York.
That the cash register is get-
ting the boot is no surprise. The
writing has been on the wall
for a long time for the iconic
machine, which was created in
the late 1800s. The register was
essential in nearly every retail
location by 1915, but it now
seems outdated in a world in
which smartphones and tablets
increasingly are replacing every-
thing from books to ATMs to
cameras.
Stores like smartphones and
tablets because they take up less
oor space than registers and
free up cashiers to help custom-
ers instead of being tethered to
one spot. They also are cheaper:
For instance, Apple Inc.s iPads
with accessories like credit card
readers can cost a store $1,500,
compared with $4,000 for a reg-
ister. And Americans increas-
ingly want the same speedy ser-
vice in physical stores that they
get from shopping online.
Consumers want the retailer
to bring the register to them,
said Lori Schafer, executive
adviser at SAS Institute Inc.,
which creates software for ma-
jor retailers.
J.C. Penney, a mid-price
department-store chain, said
the response by customers has
been great since it started roll-
ing out iPod Touch devices late
last year in its 1,100 stores. The
goal is to have one in the hands
of every salesperson by May.
The company said that about a
quarter of purchases at its stores
nationwide now come from an
iPod Touch.
On a recent Thursday after-
noon at a Penney store in the
Manhattan borough of New
York City, Debbie Guastella, 55,
marveled after a saleswoman
rang up three shirts she was
buying on an iPod Touch.
I think its great, said Guas-
tella, who lives in Huntington,
N.Y. The faster the better.
Its been a long fall for the
cash register, which innovated
retail as we know it. The rst
register was invented following
the Civil War by a little known
saloon owner. Before then, most
store owners were in the dark
about whether or not they were
making a prot, and many suf-
fered since it was easy for sales
clerks to steal from the cash
drawer unnoticed. But by 1915,
cash registers were ubiquitous
in stores across the country,
with more than 1.5 million sold
by then.
More recently, stores have
been looking for ways to mod-
ernize checkout. Since 2003,
self-checkout areas that enable
customers to scan and bag
their own merchandise have be-
come commonplace in grocery
and other stores. But recently,
theres been a push to go further.
As a result, companies that
make traditional cash registers
are racing to come up with new
solutions. NCR Corp., formerly
known as the National Cash
Register Co., was the rst to
manufacturer the cash register
on a large scale.
Last year, the company that
also makes ATMS, self-service
checkout machines and airport
check-in kiosks, launched a pro-
gram that merges its software
with the iPad. This allows store
clerks to detach the iPad from
the keyboard at the counter and
use it as a mobile checkout de-
vice
Retailers have more ex-
ibility and more opportunities
to change the shopping experi-
ence, said Mark Self, NCRs
vice president of retail solutions
marketing.
Stores themselves are also
taking their cues from the suc-
cess of Apple Inc. The nations
most protable retailer moved
to mobile checkout in its stores
in 2006.
Take upscale handbag maker
Coach, which is using iPod
Touch devices at half of its 189
factory outlet stores. The com-
pany also is testing them in a
handful of its 350 regular stores.
The move has enabled Coach
to start slimming down its reg-
isters to the size of small podi-
ums, leaving extra space that is
equivalent to three days of prod-
uct and a display table for the
average store, said Francine Del-
la Badia, Coachs executive vice
president of merchandising.
Badia, who says the addition-
al space will be used for new
shoe salons and other purposes,
said most importantly, the mo-
bile devices allow store staff to
build a more intimate connec-
tion with the customer.
Some retailers have decided
to go completely mobile. Urban
Outtters, which operates more
than 400 stores under its name-
sake brand, Anthropologie and
Free People, announced in late
September that all sales even-
tually will be rung up on iPods
and iPads on swivels located at
counters. The company didnt
give a timeframe for when it
would go completely mobile.
Urban Outtters had given
iPod Touch devices to its sales
staff two years ago and the move
has been very well received by
shoppers, said Calvin Hollinger,
the companys chief information
ofcer in his address to inves-
tors.
Nordstrom, an upscale de-
partment-store chain thats con-
sidered within the retail indus-
try to be the gold standard in
customer service, also plans to
get rid of registers altogether.
The company handed out
iPod Touch devices to its staff
at its 117 department stores
nationwide in 2011. And by late
last year, it did the same for its
110 Nordstrom Rack stores that
sell lower-priced merchandise.
Nordstrom, which already has
removed some of the registers
at its Rack stores, said it aims to
phase out registers by next year.
Colin Johnson, a Nordstrom
spokeswoman, said its too early
to draw any conclusions on how
mobile checkout has inuenced
buying, but the company is
learning about which technolo-
gies work best.
We see the future as essen-
tially mobile, Johnson said.
We dont see departments in
our store as being dened by a
big clunky cash register.
Not every retailer is quick to
ditch registers, though. After
all, there are still logistics to g-

Editorial

EMEMBER when Har-
risburg rst pitched
the idea of legalized
gambling in Pennsylva-
nia? It went something like this:
People are just going out of
state to gamble anyway; why
not keep their money here? Well
use the proceeds from legalized
gambling to lower school prop-
erty taxes!
The rst aw in this idea? It
was the legislators umpteenth
effort to avoid facing their his-
toric and abject failure to prop-
erly fund public education in
the rst place. Lowering school
district property taxes shouldnt
be an issue becuase the state
should be providing a bigger
share of the costs up front.
Relying primarily on local
property taxes creates a system
in which the quality of educa-
tion can hinge too heavily on
geography. Live in an afuent
district and your school likely
attracts the best teachers and
offers the best technology and
newest facilities.
Live in a high-poverty district
and your lucky they keep the ag-
ing building in working order
and the textbooks up to date.
But the bigger aw was as
subtle as it was predictable, and
it was on full display this week
when the Commonwealth Fi-
nancing Authority doled out
this years allotment of gaming
revenue. In Luzerne County, 37
projects nabbed a total of $12.5
million.
While the projects may be
worthy, a few points are worth
consideration: Note that, in an
article in The Times Leader
Thursday, many grant recipi-
ents said the amount the re-
cieved was a start, but would
not actually pay for the entire
intended project. The money is
always spread around in true po-
litical sausage-making tradtion,
intended more to marginally
appease (and thus curry votes),
rather than to truly accomplish
goals.
Note some worthy projects
were bypassed completely, in-
cluding securing and preserving
Wilkes-Barres Irem Temple, an-
other historic and architectural
jewel slowly sliding toward the
wrecking ball due to lack of
money and will to save our past.
Most importantly, note that
none of that money went to edu-
cation or property tax reduction.
It is a safe bet that $12.5 million
spread among Luzerne Countys
11 school districts could have
wiped out most, if not all, loom-
ing property tax increases. That
much money could prevent staff
reductions, larger class sizes,
and program cuts being contem-
plated as local school boards
prepare their 2013-14 budgets.
Or it could have been used as
originally promised, to lower
property taxes.
Even if the money isnt used
for property tax reduction or ed-
ucation in general, it seems fair
to question the value of spread-
ing it like too little icing on too
big a cake. Its time for Harris-
burg to take a hard look at the
use of gaming revenue.
Have all the small grants
over the years had any real im-
pact? How many projects were
started with gaming money but
never nished because it wasnt
enough and no other money was
found? Is it possible that fewer,
larger grants could provide
more bang for the buck?
OUR OPINION: REVENUE ALLOCATION
Time to rethink
gambling gamble
W
ednesdays New
York Daily News
ran a front page
featuring photos of
the children killed in Newtown,
Conn., with the words: Shame
on us: Assault weapon bill is
dead.
But we disagree: The shame
is not on us, the American
people.
Dont even blame the NRA.
The culprits behind the death
of the assault-weapon ban, au-
thored by Sen. Dianne Feinstein,
that was part of other measures
heading to a Senate vote, are
not anonymous Americans, or
faceless members of a powerful
gun-rights group. They can be
named, and found, in Washing-
ton: The 535 ofcials whom we
elected to Congress, who are
ignoring the will of the people
to institute commonsense re-
forms to discourage the kind
of carnage that happened in
December, as well as at sites of
mass murders perpetrated with
the help of high-capacity killing
machines.
Feinsteins measure would
have reinstituted a ban on mil-
itary-style assault weapons
designed only to kill as many
people as possible without re-
loading that expired in 2004.
Senate Majority Leader Harry
Reid said the measure didnt
have the votes.
That lack of votes should be
the fate of every congressperson
and senator who is siding with
special interests instead of the
fate of the people. Poll after poll
says that the majority of Ameri-
cans favor such a ban. And one
petition for measures that in-
cluded an assault-weapons ban
from the Mayors Against Illegal
Guns group generated more
than a quarter-million signa-
tures. Still in play in the coming
weeks are stronger background
checks (which a recent Pew poll
says that 85 percent of people
support) and stronger measures
for gun trafcking.
If passed, those will represent
progress, but its not enough.
Not if were still enabling killers
to work as efciently as possible.

About the multiple claimants for a $1.2 million reward offered in the hunt for
Christopher Dorner, the former LAPD ofcer who authorities say killed four

Gay marriage reversal right decision for wrong reason
LET THERE BE no
cheers for Rob Portman.
The Ohio senator is,
pardon the tautology, a
conservative Republican
and last week, he did
something conservative
Republicans do not do.
He came out for same-sex marriage. This
is a man whose anti-gay bona des were
so pronounced that his 2011 selection as
commencement speaker at the University
of Michigan law school prompted an up-
roar among the graduates, many of whom
signed a letter protesting his appearance
as an insult to lesbian, gay, bisexual and
transgender students.
Yet, there he was, telling CNN hes had
a change of heart. And what prompted
this? Well, as it turns out, the senator
made his U-turn because of Will.
That would be Will Portman, 21, who
came out to his parents two years ago.
His son, the senator said, explained to
them that his sexuality was not a choice
and that thats just part of who he is. As
a result, said Portman, Ive come to the
conclusion that for me, personally, I think
this is something that we should allow
people to do, to get married, and to have
the joy and stability of marriage that Ive
had for over 26 years.
It was, make no mistake, an act of pater-
nal love and empathy and deserves to be
celebrated on that basis. He did the only
thing a good father could have done. And
yet, if Portmans change of mind warms
the heart, it also, paradoxically, illustrates
the moral cowardice so often found at the
heart of social conservatism
Look, the senators son is doubtless a
ne and admirable young man. But with
all due respect to his son, to heck with his
son. This is not about Will Portman. Its
far bigger than that.
So one cant help but be frustrated and
vexed by the senators inability to get it
until it included his son. Will explained
to him that his sexuality was not a
choice? Lovely. But was the senator not
listening when all those other gay men
and lesbians tried to tell him the exact
same thing?
Apparently not. Like Dick Cheney,
father of a lesbian daughter, Portman
changed his view because the issue be-
came personal. Which suggests a glaring
lack of the courage and vision needed to
put oneself into someone elses shoes,
imagine ones way inside someone elses
life. These are capabilities that often seem
to elude social conservatives.
Small wonder: if you allow yourself to
see the world from someone elses vantage
point, there is a chance it will change your
own. Cant have that.
So instead we have this. And by exten-
sion of the logic: here, we must wait on
Herman Cain to adopt a Mexican child be-
fore he sees how offensive it is to suggest
electrocuting Mexicans at the border. And
if Michele Bachmann would only have an
affair with a Muslim, she might stop see-
ing terrorists on every street corner.
Tellingly, Portmans change of heart
elicited mainly an embarrassed silence
from his ideological soul mates who, 10
years ago, would have been on him like
paparazzi on a Kardashian. But then, 10
years ago, gay rights was still an open
question. Ten years later, that question is
closing with startling speed, as in a new
Washington Post-ABC News poll that
nds support for same-sex marriage at a
record high. Change is coming, gathering
momentum like an avalanche
And once again, conservatives will
stand rebuked by history, be left on the
platform by progress. Or else, split the dif-
ference, do the right thing for the wrong
reasons like Rob Portman.
No, you cannot condemn a man for lov-
ing his child.
But true compassion and leadership
require the ability to look beyond the nar-
row connes of ones own life, to project
into someone elses situation and to want
for them what youd want for your own.
Portmans inability to do that created
hardship for an untold number of gay men
and lesbians.
Each of them was also someones child.

Vice President / Executive Editor
For the love of a stray and the love she gave in return
MY WIFE CAROLE oc-
casionally brings home
strays. Orphaned plants,
antiques and collectibles,
the occasional rabbit,
me. She has a big heart
and our family is richer
for it.
Nearly 12 years ago she brought home
a cardboard box with a puppy that had
been left behind at a gas station. The pup
had beautiful brown fur with a blaze of
white on her chest and white tips on her
paws and tail. The kids christened her for
the color of a coin but with a spelling that
reected the culinary air and non-confor-
mity in our home.
The name was pronounced penny but
we spelled it Penne.
Pennes rambunctiousness lasted
beyond puppy-hood and patience. She
played too rough with others and we were
ready to end the relationship until our son
who was about 6 years old at the time
resolutely packed his things and left.
Literally. Boy and belongings, sulking
outside the door. His adamant message: If
the dog goes, he goes.
We had a lot invested in both so we
kept the boy and dog.
She mellowed, we mellowed and Penne
became thoroughly ingrained in our lives
and routines.
It was dark when Id leave for the gym
in the morning but I could always hear
Penne, still in her bed in the kitchen,
thwump the oor with her wagging tail.
When son Will came down for breakfast
Penne would get up and plant her jaw
in this lap while he absently rubbed her
head.
Dog greetings were huge for daughter
Anne when she arrived home from col-
lege.
Carole, often the last to leave the house
for the day, would have that brief reassur-
ing conversation with Penne.
Penne was with us every summer when
we stayed at a house near a secluded
Pennsylvania lake. She ambled there at
will, leaving the porch when she wanted,
angling in the shallows for sunsh shed
never catch, carousing through ferns so
high only a white-tipped tail was visible.
On every walk she found a muddy slump
to soak in. On one memorable walk she
was between mom and son and a bear. All
retreated with good sense to tell the tale.
So it was for years.
Penne moved a little slower in recent
months and when she was examined the
vet said she was full of tumors. Last week
the kids took her back to the secluded
lake and even though it was frozen over
it was a visit to a familiar and cherished
place.
When Penne stopped eating, drinking
water, and even sitting upright, it was
clear the sickness was overwhelming
her. The last time she stood she plopped
herself on the cold driveway as if she was
ready to surrender to the cold inevitably.
We coaxed Penne inside and doted on her
through the weekend.
Neverthesless the pain exceeded any
pleasure for her or us so early on Monday,
Will and I took her to the vets. We carried
Penne into the examining room to be
euthanized, stroking her brown anks and
soft ears, comforting and crying over her
as she died away. We cried for pain and
sadness, and love too.
Penne was a dog. Our pet. I dont
equate her demise to equal any of the
terrible problems of the world. But she
meant a great deal to our family. Even
though she was a handful in the begin-
ning, she became a wonderful companion
and Penne could make bad days good and
good days great.
Through the years, when caring for a
dog was inconvenient Id kid Carole: You
brought her home. Now that she is gone
and we can measure the signicance she
had in our lives, Carole gets the credit.
She brought Penne home.
And thats the lesson for this old dog.
We took in an orphan. We gave her love.
She gave it back.
What more can we ask for?

Our attitude isnt bad;
its our land and water
I
n response to Fred Murray of Shaver-
town bemoaning the attitude of the
local residents toward his Marcellus
Shale bonanza, I can understand your
excitement of being like a kid with a
new toy. You signed your lease and
spent four whole hours in the ofce of
XTD in Forty Fort being spoon-fed the
Fort Worth pie-in-the-sky attitude. You
just cant understand whats wrong
with us local yokels that we arent
celebrating your good fortune. Were
just a bunch of critics, pessimists,
and downers. After all, youre in such
desperate nancial need.
Maybe you would better understand
that local attitude if you left your
beautiful yuppie Back Mountain and
came over for a visit to my house
here in the Valley. We could sit on my
front porch and admire the beautiful
mountain of culm that towers over
my neighborhood and spreads over a
square mile at its base.
We could take a drive to Ashley or
Swoyersville to admire some of the
other remaining mountains of destruc-
tion left by the previous robber barons
of the coal industry who signed their
leases, made their millions and left
us sitting here a hundred years later
still holding the bag for their good
fortune. We could go up to Pittston
and admire the streams and the North
Branch of the Susquehanna where the
water ows a golden brown and leaves
a permanent orange stain on anything
it touches. We wont have to worry
about the sh being stained however,
there are no sh that can live in that
water.
Then we could stop by the Butler
Tunnel for a night cap. Id be happy
to ladle out a big gulp of the pris-
tine Susquehanna for you to sip
while we relax on its golden mal-
odorous shore under the Knox Mine
disaster memorial.
You see, Fred, weve been down
this road before. Please dont belittle
us for not wanting to have our air and
land destroyed again in the name of a
fast buck. Fred, its not so much that
the Middle Ages are alive and well
in Pennsylvania as much as we dont
want to live through the Middle Ages
and its wanton destruction again.
Wed like to move on to a better,
cleaner tomorrow in the current age.
Those who are ignorant of their
history are doomed to relive it. If
you want to relive that terrible time,
Fred, go ahead, but dont drag us
along with you and dont insult and
belittle us for not wanting better for
ourselves and children.

Nuclear arms control
and civilian components
I
n a world where the threat of North
Korea is becoming so obvious that
even China is agreeing with us to
sanction the regime, we must ask
ourselves how come the rest of the
world is still not as aggressively
concerned with a rising Iran. Capa-
bilities in both of these anti-western
regimes are picking up speed. Some
may remember Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu on the oor of
the United Nations imploring action
as Iran was crossing a threshold for
a nuclear warhead. Having a nuclear
warhead for protection is one thing,
but the regimes of Iran and North
Korea have threatened to use their ca-
pacity for destruction of the US, Israel,
and others time and time again.
What we face is more than a nuclear
threat, but a lack of action in non-
proliferation work in the world.
I believe its because of a lack of
urgency is prevalent among nations
and people. The media is explaining
the threats of these nations, but not
at the level of urgency raised in the
1980s. l think what needs to coincide
with that reporting is something
constructive: how students can study
nonproliferation work and how adults
can get involved in many ways, espe-
cially through a great deal of collective
conversation with our elected repre-
sentatives.
We need to continue a global discus-
sion on nuclear arms control in the
same intensity as during the 1980s. In
reality, if a war or attack were to stop
North Korea or Iran, it would not stop
the threat of nuclear weapons in the
world altogether.
Diplomacy is key, and that goes
beyond a simple yes or no vote from
our elected leaders.
It takes leadership and courage.

Flawed education system
and voter ID hogwash
C
onservatives are now in the minority
and are faced with future election
defeats as a direct result of the direc-
tion taken by public education decades
ago. Educators have taken their lead
from the socialist playbook and have
started at the highest level lling
minds of mush with social drivel
which in time ltered down through
the secondary and primary levels.
In graduating millions with a like
mindset their indoctrination achieved
success beyond their wildest dreams
but not without paying a big price
quality education.
Their proudest success, currently
presiding at the White House (and)
dissatised with the progress of the
dominance, proposed upping the ante
by adding three and four-year olds to
pre-school. The end result in addition
to mind control will mean additional
funds from already strapped taxpayers
for baby sitting.
Regarding voting for minorities and
voter IDs, the latter brings howls from
the Democrats. Their major objection
is that it will deny voting privileges is
hogwash. Their real fear is one vote
per person. Its implementation would
have prevented another of their suc-
cesses in Ohio from voting multiple
times last November. The unrepentant
women when charged with fraud
proudly boasted she would have voted
more times if possible to re-elect
Obama.
An isolated case? You be the judge.

Tunkhannock has it all
for this satised couple
W
e recently attended the annual
wine and beer tasting event at the
Tunkhannock Library. We cant com-
pliment all the folks involved enough
for an outstanding performance. We
are sure all who attended had an enjoy-
able evening.
That event caused us to reect on
our community and how fortunate we
are to have such wonderful and chari-
table citizens.
Tunkhannock has it all: an out-
standing library, re department,
ambulance system, hospital, theater,
shopping district, restaurants (sev-
eral), school system, service clubs,
churches, etc., etc. We have so many
recreational opportunities -- a beautiful
river (that at times gets out of Gods
hands) streams, trails, many lakes,
parks and so many wonderful views of
valleys and mountains. And who puts
this all together? All the kind, caring
and charitable citizens.
We are often asked: are you planning
on retiring south or somewhere? Our
immediate response is, why leave such
a wonderful town, lled with so many
amenities and nice charitable and
friendly folks? The only things we miss
are our four children and spouses and
six grandchildren not being here to
enjoy Tunkhannock with us.

Whats really behind the crazy ofces at Google?
WHAT SHOULD your
ofce look like? If you
answered a desk, a chair
and a phone, you are
either (A) older than
30, (B) not a Google
employee, or (C) both.
Google ofces rede-
ne the workplace. I rst saw them a few
years ago in Palo Alto, Calif. I was blown
away. There were beanbag chairs and
food stations and salad bars and facili-
ties where you could do your laundry (or
where someone did it for you). There were
couches strewn everywhere and just as
many places to plop as to type. The whole
environment looked like a college cafete-
ria/student center/library, blown together
in a color-coordinated hurricane.
Now comes an East Coast version thats
even more recreationally opulent. The
Google ofces in New York City take
up an entire city block and would make
a Detroit auto plant worker scream, Is
anything getting done around here?
Check out the videos on the Web, or
a recent New York Times piece, which
illustrate, in great detail, some of the great
detail.
For example
Perks way beyond free coffee.
There are coffee bars, micro kitchens,
high-backed love seats and mock New
York City street scenes. There are places
to get massages, do workouts, enjoy free
yoga classes. There is free breakfast, free
lunch, free dinner, served in all kinds of
nooks, including some outdoor terraces.
Candy, snacks, health food and fruit are all
plentiful and always stocked. A library has
bookcases that spin to reveal secret read-
ing rooms. Certain oors are connected
by ladders. Many employees get to design
their own desks, including some where
the person stands up the whole time.
Workers roll around on scooters. And you
can bring your dog to work.
A Google spokesman told the New York
Times that the idea behind this incredible
design was to create the happiest, most
productive workplace in the world.
The question is: Have they done it?
Or have they done something else?
Home away from home.
When I was in Palo Alto, I asked some
of the workers what Google hoped to
achieve with such an environment. Some
said it was just a great company, and
perhaps it is.
But one answer stayed with me: They
dont want you to go home.
Think about it. If your laundry is done
for you, if your food is taken care of, if you
can work out and get a massage and take a
shower and take a nap and see your work-
mates and be endlessly online and never
have to worry about the water or electrical
or cable or heating charges, why would
you want to go home?
And I believe that is part of what places
like Google are about. Tech rms, in par-
ticular, thrive on ideas. They want those
ideas hatching under their roof. What
good does it do if you come up with a cool
concept at home and maybe tell it to a
non-Google friend, who encourages you to
strike out on your own?
By feeding sometimes literally all
the needs of their workers, employers may
view those workers as citizens of their
colony. And while that may lead to some
great high-tech innovations, it may not be
the healthiest development for things like
neighborhoods, local businesses, social
groups or children.
Work is still work. As someone who has
been able to blur his spaces for years (I
write on the couch; I write at the airport;
I write in the basement; I write at the res-
taurant), I can attest that the hardest part
of being able to play and work in the same
space is the ability to shut off the latter for
the former.
The painted cabs on the Google walls
are still not real cabs; the food and tables
are not real restaurants, and if all your so-
cial interaction is with fellow employees,
youre not diversifying your world.
Also, what if the dog isnt housebroken?
Dont get me wrong. I am no fan of the
cubicle. But I wonder how our grand-
parents ever got things done working
in factories, inches apart, not an omelet
station in sight and still managed to be
kind, family people, as well.
One Google employee told the Times, I
live in a studio apartment, and I dont have
free food so she wound up coming into
work on her off day.
Which, if youre being cynical, is exactly
how employers want it. Careful what you
trade in for the cool, new ofce. It could
be your personal life.

ANOTHER VIEW
The 50 percent solution:
Tax reform with a twist
COMMENTARY
W R I T E R
T
hough the calendar tells us its spring, those wispy ten-
drils of chimney smoke send quite a different message.
Heres hoping you were still indoors and cozy on a recent
frosty morning.
THE proposi-
tion that enti-
tlement curbs
are the key
to maintain-
ing national
solvency is
widely accept-
ed, though not by many con-
gressional Democrats. President
Obama, however, has endorsed
it on various occasions. And he
could make it happen.
If he wants. I remain skepti-
cal that he does. But national
solvency is important enough
to test this proposition at least
once more. The obstacle is
Obamas current position that
entitlement cuts must be bal-
anced with new revenue from
closing loopholes.
Republicans are adamantly
opposed. No more revenues, Mr.
President. You got your tax hike
on Jan. 1.
Is there a solution? Yes: tax
reform with a twist.
The problem begins with de-
nitions. By tax reform, Obama
means eliminating deductions,
exclusions, credits of various
kinds with all the money going
to the Treasury.
Thats radically new. The
historic 1986 Reagan-ONeill tax
reform closed loopholes with
noextra money going to the Tre
asury. The new revenue went
directly back to the citizenry in
the form of lower tax rates.
This is called revenue neutral-
ity. The idea is that tax reform
is a way not to fatten the Trea-
sury but to clean the tax code. It
means eliminating special-inter-
est favors and behavior-altering
deductions that create waste
and inefciency by inducing tax-
preferred rather than market-
oriented economic activity.
And it introduces fairness by
removing breaks and payoffs for
which only the rich can afford
to lobby.
As a nal bonus, tax reforms
lower rates spur economic
growth. A unique win-win-win:
efciency, fairness, growth.
Obamas own Simpson-
Bowles decit-reduction com-
mission offered a variant. First,
it identied an astonishing $1.1
trillionper year of these tax
expenditures. Thats more than
$11 trillion in a decade. In one
scenario, it lowered marginal
tax rates to just three brackets
of 8 percent, 14 percent and 23
percent.
But heres the twist. Using
the full $1.1 trillion annually
of newly redeemed loophole
revenue, Simpson-Bowles could
have dropped the rates a bit
below 23 percent. But instead it
left some of that money in the
Treasury, an average of almost
$100 billion a year, or about $1
trillion over a decade. It was
a reasonable compromise, so
reasonable that even the Sen-
ates most erce spending hawk,
commission member Tom
Coburn, signed on.
Now, Simpson-Bowles is not
on the table but it could be a
model. Obamas tax reform
would send 100 percent of the
revenue to the Treasury. Rea-
gan-ONeill sent zero percent.
Simpson-Bowles fell somewhere
in between. So should any grand
compromise.
Before deciding exactly where
to locate that compromise, how-
ever, we have to decide which
deductions to cut, yielding how
much revenue. The bad news is
that, given all the lobbying and
haggling this would occasion,
it could take years to work out.
The good news is the formula
proposed by Harvard economist
Martin Feldstein. Before even
picking and choosing which de-
ductions should remain permis-
sible, it simply allows no one to
reduce his tax bill by more than
2 percent by using any or all of
the deductions and loopholes
in the current tax code (except
charitable contributions).
There should, of course,
be separate negotiations over
which of the hundreds, thou-
sands, of loopholes/deductions
should be tossed out as corrupt
or counterproductive rent-seek-
ing. But the 2 percent ceiling
means that we dont have to
wait until full tax reform
because the Feldstein formula
immediately reduces the impact
of all the loopholes.
Feldstein calculates that his
tax reform would yield $2.1
trillion in new revenue over a
decade. Now we can cut the pie.
Obama wants the government
to keep it all. The GOP wants
to give it all back to reduce
tax rates. Lets be Solomonic.
Divide the revenue in half
50 percent to the Treasury for
reducing debt, 50 percent to the
citizenry for reducing rates.
Thats roughly $1 trillion
each. Republicans unexpect-
edly get a rate cut, minor but
symbolic after having had to
swallow the scal-cliff rate hike.
The country gets the rst sig-
nicant tax reform in a quarter
century. Obama gets $1 trillion
worth of balance, his price for
real entitlement reform. And if
he turns out to be serious about
that, we get tax and entitlement
reform all at once.

Think about it. If your laundry is
done for you, if your food is taken
care of, if you can work out and get
a massage and take a shower and
take a nap and see your workmates
and be endlessly online and never
have to worry about the water
or electrical or cable or heating
charges, why would you want to go
home?
A N E W S TA R T.
You work hard to make your house a home. At Pennstar Bank, were
committed to helping you make the most of your homes equity. So, you can
accomplish everything that counts most to you. Now, get a new Home Equity
Line of Credit with a six-month introductory rate of 1.00% APR. Or, ask us
about a great xed rate on a new home equity loan.
When it comes to your home, you can count on us. Stop by or call us today.
*To qualify for the introductory rate, a minimum line of $20,000 must be approved for a new home equity line of credit and ad vanced at closing, and payments must be automatically deducted from
a checking account at NBT Bank, N.A. or its divisions, Pennstar Bank and Hampshire First Bank (hereafter referred to jointly asNBT Bank). Customers with an existing home equity line of credit from
NBT Bank must be approved for an additional $20,000 to qualify. Residence must be a 1-4 family owner-occupied dwelling with a maximum loan to value of 80%. Rates shown are as of March 11,
2013. The 1.00% Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is an introductory rate for 6 months, and after that the rate can be as low as the oor rate of 3.25%. The APR after the introductory discount period is
variable and may change monthly based upon changes in the Prime Rate but will not fall below 3.25% or exceed 15.90%. The Prime Rate is the highest Prime Rate offered in the Wall Street Journal
based on the tenth day of the preceding month. Property insurance is required and ood insurance when necessary. Title insurance is required for all loans over $250,000 in a rst lien position
and may be required for loans with aggregation over $250,000 when the home equity is in a second lien position. If you cancel the line of credit within 4 years, you must reimburse us the
third-party fees paid in connection with opening the line. Closing costs paid to third parties generally total between $167 and $1,989 in MA, NH, PA and VT. See your tax advisor for details
on the tax deductibility of interest. Offer subject to credit and collateral approval. This is not a commitment to lend. Additional terms and conditions may apply depending on the type of
collateral and other loan terms offered or chosen.

Even for cable TV,
this was stretching it
T
he other day while channel-
surng, I came upon a
segment on faux news. The
topic concerned the FBI's Top
10 most wanted list. The guest
was a high- ranking FBI agent
and the question was raised
concerning the most wanted
person.The newsman asked the
agent where he thought the
person was. The FBI agent, to
his credit, composed himself
enough to give a sober answer.
But could you imagine some of
the responses there could have
been such as "oh we know right
where he is. We just thought
wed mosey around the country
for a couple decades and then
go get him."
I know these cable news net-
works have to ll in 24 hours of
news but, c'mon.
John Mihalchik Sr.

WITH BIPAR-
TISN support
for Pennsylva-
nias expansion
of Medicaid
growing in the
state General
Assembly, the
Commonwealth could soon
join 23 other states that already
agreed to accept federal funding
to increase Medicaid eligibil-
ity including our neighbors
in New Jersey, Ohio, New York,
Maryland and Delaware which
would provide essential health
coverage for more than 500,000
uninsured state residents.
Pennsylvanians deserve
the same access to affordable
health care as people living in
neighboring states. Across our
state there are so many men,
women, and families without
health coverage who are trying
to somehow make ends meet
on individual incomes of less
than $15,000 a year. They may
have lost their jobs and are now
struggling to nd new ones. In
many cases, they are working
in jobs without health ben-
ets. They are likely foregoing
preventative health care that can
save lives and can reduce the
need for expensive emergency
room care, which contributes
to dangerous ER overcrowd-
ing and costs that affect us all.
Medicaid expansion will provide
access to health care coverage
for people who desperately
need it, and will also infuse the
commonwealths economy with
hundreds of millions of dollars.
The federal government will pay
the cost of the Pennsylvanias
Medicaid expansion for three
years beginning in 2014. After
that, the federal contribution
will still be 90 percent.
This issue of access to health
coverage is particularly critical
for those who are over age 50
and not yet eligible for Medi-
care, which provides health
coverage at age 65. When people
50-64 lose their jobs, they are
likely to be out of work longer
than others. Being uninsured
at middle age means facing
the possible onset of chronic
conditions without necessary
treatments leading inevitably
to an increased need for the very
services the individual cannot
afford. Those without health
insurance are likely foregoing
preventative health care that can
save lives and can reduce the
need for expensive emergency
room care, which contributes to
dangerous ER overcrowding and
costs that affect us all.
Providing these men, women,
and families with the oppor-
tunity to get affordable health
coverage by expanding Med-
icaid will change that bleak
picture. In Pennsylvania alone,
more than 90,000 residents age
50 to 64 years-old could qualify
for health coverage under this
expansion. A total of more than
500,000 uninsured residents will
get health care coverage under
this plan and again, there is
no cost to the Commonwealth
for the rst three years, and
Pennsylvania will pay no more
than 10 percent of the total cost
of this expansion in the future.
Pennsylvania taxpayers will also
nd savings after expanding
Medicaid due in large part to a
reduced need for other medi-
cal service programs that are
currently paid for entirely by
the state, such as mental health
services.
Beginning in 2014, those with
incomes between 100 percent
through 400 percent of the fed-
eral poverty level will be eligible
for a federal tax subsidy should
they choose to purchase health
insurance coverage through a
health insurance marketplace,
called an Exchange. If Penn-
sylvania fails to expand Medic-
aid, hundreds of thousands of
residents will not have access
to affordable coverage and the
state will be creating a coverage
gap for the poorest individuals
and families those making less
than 100 percent of the federal
poverty level.
At this point, Gov. Corbett has
not included Medicaid expan-
sion in his 2013-2014 Pennsyl-
vania budget proposal although
he has signaled that there may
still be a possibility of providing
health coverage for Pennsylva-
nias uninsured. We hope that
Gov. Corbett and U.S. Secretary
of Health and Human Services
Kathleen Sebelius will have
timely and productive discus-
sions about the meaningful
reforms and program exibility
that the governor indicates are
necessary, so the Administra-
tion can fully support Medicaid
expansion in Pennsylvania.
AARP urges the common-
wealth to expand Medicaid
because it is good for Pennsyl-
vanians. Access to affordable
health care should not depend
on where you live.
Jim Palmquist is Volunteer State
President for AARP Pennsylvania.
Medicaid expansion is good for Pennsylvania
