Since 2006, tectonic shifts in
the Diocese of Scrantonshuttered
scores of schools and churches,
displacing thousands of students
and worshippers.
And more than 300,000 faithful
in 11 counties
are left trying
to figure out a
fundamental
question: What
does it mean to
be Roman Ca-
tholic in the af-
termath?
Dramatic
changes since
2005 include:
Consolidation cut the num-
ber of schools nearly in half dio-
cese-wide. InLuzerne County, the
number went from20 inthe 2005-
06 school year to seven this year,
with four high schools merged in-
toone. Accordingtostatedata, en-
rollment in the 11-county diocese
dropped 38 percent, from 11,379
in 2005-06 to 7,024 in 2010-11. Da-
ta provided by
the diocese
shows enroll-
ment in Lu-
zerne County
schools fell
more dramat-
ically, from
5,437 to 2,537,
adropof 53per-
cent.
The dio-
cese went from
nearly 200
churches to
about 126 par-
ishes, with
some parishes
keeping more
than one build-
ing operating.
In Luzerne
County the
number plum-
metedfrom103
in 2005 to 57 in
2012. Of those
buildings still
in use, seven
are worship
sites for consolidated parishes,
meaningtheir fatedependsinpart
onhowneededtheyareincoming
years.
The decline in available
priests continues unabated, de-
spite a renewed and so far mod-
estly successful effort to recruit
newseminarians. In 2005, when a
report commissioned by the dio-
cese noted the number of priests
had dropped froma high of 419 in
1970 to 224, the prediction was a
further slideto164by2010. It held
true. The diocese currently has
about 150 active priests.
All of this consolidation was
intended to shore up a diocesan
budget that had become awash in
red ink A look at annual financial
statements suggests success
sort of. In2005and2006, total dio-
cesanrevenues andsupport inthe
administrative budget hovered
around$26millionwithoperating
deficits. In 2010 and 2011, it was
$36 million and $40 million, re-
spectively, withmodest surpluses.
But theamount of doubtful notes
and loans receivable soared from
a bit above $2 million in those
early years to more than $12 mil-
lion in recent ledgers, reflecting a
growing effort to reserve funds to
cover doubtful loans..

the restructuring?
AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER
Bishop Joseph Bambera, seen at a service recently, said being Catholic in the wake of so much
change is still a question of personal faith and commitment the same as its always been.

SCRANTON When Joseph
Martino became Diocese of
Scranton bishop in 2003, his
mantra quickly evolved: Financ-
es were dire and drastic steps
were needed.
He followed through with
sweeping cuts in the number of
schools and churches, sparking
fierce criticism from many of
the faithful. But he held firm,
insisting it was necessary for
fiscal solvency.

from administrative budgets

Homeowner arrested at site of Dupont fire
DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER
A fire Saturday afternoon damaged the rear of a house at 11 Wilson St., Dupont. Borough
Fire Chief Don Hudzinski said he contacted a state police fire marshal to investigate what
appears to be a fire that started on the back porch. The homeowner, Dominick Dente, 58,
was taken into custody after he fought with firefighters who responded to the call around
3:10 p.m. Police filed charges of aggravated assault, disorderly conduct and public drunk-
enness against Dente, saying he was abusive to Red Cross personnel and combative with
police. Additional charges are possible pending the results of the fire investigation, police
said. Dente declined to comment. He was arraigned by District Judge James Dixon in Ha-
zle Township and committed to the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of
$25,000 bail. Hudzinski said the damage was contained to the ceiling and walls on the
enclosed back porch.

The nominations are for a Congres-
sional Medal of Honor Society and
Foundation award to be presented in
March.
The Citizen Service Before Self
Honors program recognizes people
who have demon-
strated a willingness

a single act of ex-
traordinary heroism
or through a pro-
longed series of self-
less acts.
The commendable acts must have
taken place within the past three
years.
Nominees may include individuals
who are deceased.
The nomination deadline is Feb. 10.
Three individuals will be selected to
receive the award at a March 23 cere-
mony in conjunction with the Nation-
al Medal of Honor Day at Arlington
National Cemetery in Arlington, Va.
Previous Pennsylvania honorees
included Timothy Brooks, who res-
cued a woman and her three children
from the Delaware River after a boat-
ing accident, and Dr. Pascal Spino, for
his career-long commitment to treat-
ing children.

award and to make a nomination, go

Lien filed against Powell
The U.S. Attorneys Office on Friday
filed a $60,200 federal lien in Luzerne
County Court against attorney Robert
Powell.
The lien is part of a restitution
order given at Powells recent sentenc-
ing on corruption charges.
He is serving an 18-month prison
sentence after pleading guilty in July
2009 to charges of failing to report a
crime relating to his kickback pay-
ments to former county judges Mi-
chael Conahan and Mark Ciavarella.

LUZERNE Walt Disney World
theme park, The place where dreams
come true, has made dreams a reality
for two dance instructors from the Joan
Harris Conservatory for the Arts in Lu-
zerne.
MarkPetrucelli, 26, of Clarks Summit,
and Thomas Wilkins, 26, of Wilkes-
Barre, auditioned in Philadelphia a few
weeks apart from one another in Octo-
ber for different positions with Disney
World. In November, they both received
life-altering news that they have been
hired.
According to Jim Harris, manager of
the Joan Harris center
and founder of the
Northeastern Pennsyl-
vania Theatrical Alli-
ance, this is the first
time theyve had two
male performers from
their conservatory
hired by Disney.
Wilkins is expected
to work for Disney un-
til the end of August
through a college in-
ternship program and
Petrucelli has beenem-
ployed indefinitely.
Petrucelli is a gradu-
ate of Kings College
with a Bachelor of Arts
degree in theater and
an associate degree in human resources
management.
The graduate was a drama instructor
and director for Backstage Pass, a chil-
drens theater workshop held at the con-
servatory for the last six years, and he
has appeared onstage in more than a
dozen plays, ranging from Shakespea-
rean to contemporary.
Ive been blessed to be in the compa-
nyof suchtalentedprofessionals, admin-
istrators, instructors and friends at J
Harris, said Petrucelli. Im so sad to
leave thembecause we reallyare like one
big family and I wouldnt have gotten
where I am without them, continued
Petrucelli.
Unlike Petrucelli, Wilkins began his
dance training in Durham, N.C., where
he studied modern and jazz dance then
moved to Montclair, N.J., where he stud-
ied creative dance.
For the last seven years, Wilkins has
residedinWilkes-Barre where workedas
a choreographer for the Pink Diamond
Dance Team and the West Side Starz

WILKES-BARRE The Luzerne
County Historical Society hosted a se-
ries of events onSaturday to culminate
its "Polish Heritage" exhibition, which
beganinOctober.
The multi-faceted exhibit was orga-
nized as a way to honor the many fam-
ilies who immigrated to the area in the
late1800s.
The day began with a childrens pro-
gramtitled, "SmokthePolishDragon,"
which featured a Polish-themed story-
telling hour, craft making and refresh-
ments. Theprogramcontinuedwithan
afternoonsessionwhichfeaturedaPol-
ish-costume embroidery discussion
anddemonstrationbyAliceRaeKutish
of the Embroidery Guildof America.
We wanted to celebrate the ethnic
experience andcontributionof the Pol-
ish immigrants here in Wyoming Val-
ley," said Mary Ruth Burke, the histor-
ical societys curator.
According to Burke, many Poles
cametothis countrytofindworkinthe
coal-mining industry with a plan to re-
turn to Poland once they had saved
enough money. However, the two
world wars and ensuing Russian occu-
pationpreventedmanyof themfromre-
turning to their home-
land.
Their community
was centered around
their neighborhood
church," added Burke.
"The exhibit demon-
strated that once estab-
lished in the region,
home ownership be-
came the goal for many
Polish immigrants, as a way to escape
the harsh conditions of mining compa-
ny housing.
Burke said the historical society

WASHINGTON
Obama college plan ripped
P
resident Barack Obamas new plan
to force colleges and universities to
contain tuition or face losing federal
dollars is raising alarm among educa-
tion leaders who worry about the
threat of government overreach. Partic-
ularly sharp words came from the presi-
dents of public universities; theyre
already frustrated by increasing state
budget cuts.
Illinois States Al Bowman said given
the decreases in state aid, tying federal
support to tuition prices is fuzzy math.
At Washington, President Mike
Young said Obama showed he did not
understand how the budgets of public
universities work. Young said the total
cost to educate college students in his
state has gone down because of effi-
ciencies on campus. While universities
are tightening costs, the state is cutting
their subsidies and authorizing tuition
increases to make up for the loss.
PHILADELPHIA
Abu-Jamal moved in prison
Former death row inmate Mumia
Abu-Jamal has moved into the general
prison population for the first time
since his arrest in a Philadelphia police
officers murder three decades ago.
Susan McNaughton, a Pennsylvania
Department of Corrections spokeswo-
man, said Abu-Jamal was moved Friday
from the restricted housing unit at the
Mahanoy state prison in Frackville.
Abu-Jamal was sentenced to death
for the 1981 murder of Officer Daniel
Faulkner. Prosecutors agreed to a life
term after a federal appeals court or-
dered a new sentencing hearing, citing
flawed jury instructions.
LIMA, PERU
26 in rehab killed in fire
A fire swept through a two-story
private rehabilitation center for addicts
in a poor part of Perus capital on Sat-
urday, killing at least 26 people as
firefighters punched holes through
walls to rescue residents locked inside.
The Christ is Love center for drug
and alcohol addicts was unlicensed and
overcrowded and its residents were
apparently kept inside like prisoners,
Health Minister Alberto Tejada said.
Six men rescued from the building
were hospitalized in critical condition,
said Perus fire chief, Antonio Zavala,
adding that most of the victims died of
asphyxiation. All the victims appeared
to be male. The local police chief, Clev-
er Zegarra, said the cause of the fire
was under investigation.
BISHKEK, KYRGYZSTAN
Prisoners sew lips together
More than 1,000 prisoners in Kyrgyz-
stan have sewn their lips together, a
grotesque act inmates describe as a
protest of their dismal conditions, but
which authorities blame on organized
criminal gangs who resent attempts to
break the power they wield in prisons.
Kyrgyzstan, a poor ex-Soviet nation
of 5.3 million, holds around 7,600 in-
mates in its detention centers. The
buildings are notoriously crowded and
disease-ridden, and they have not es-
caped the reach of powerful criminal
syndicates who also threaten the stabil-
ity of the country, which hosts a key
U.S. air base.
A reporter who was allowed to visit a
pre-trial detention facility recently saw
several prisoners with their lips
stitched together, leaving enough space
to take in liquids, but not enough to eat
food. Some prisoners used strands of
coarse fiber or pieces of wire.

ST. LOUIS Looking
around at the tens of thou-
sands of people waving Amer-
ican flags and cheering, Army
Maj. Rich Radford was moved
that so many braved a cold Ja-
nuary wind Saturday in St.
Louis to honor people like
him: Iraq War veterans.
The parade, borne out of a
simple conversation between
two St. Louis friends a month
ago, was the nations first big
welcome-home for veterans of
the war since the last troops
were withdrawn from Iraq in
December.
Its not necessarily over-
due, its just the right thing,
said Radford, a 23-year Army
veteran who walked in the pa-
rade alongside his 8-year-old
daughter, Aimee, and 12-year-
old son, Warren.
Radford was among about
600 hundred veterans, many
dressed in camouflage, who
walked along downtown
streets lined with rows of peo-
ple clapping and holding signs
with messages including Wel-
come Home and Thanks to
our Service Men and Women.
Some of the war-tested troops
wiped away tears as they ac-
knowledged the support from
a crowd that organizers esti-
mated reached 100,000 peo-
ple.
Fire trucks with aerial lad-
ders hoisted huge American
flags in three different places
along the route, with politic-
ians, marching bands even
the Budweiser Clydesdales
joining in.

After three hours of talks

creditors had agreed with
Junckers proposal that the new
bonds to be issued by Greece in
place of the old ones should
have an interest rate clearly be-
low 4 percent. The rate had
been the main sticking point in
the two-week-long talks as cred-
itors had demanded a higher
one.

The rising bloodshed has added urgen-
cy to new attempts by Arab and Western
countries to find a resolution to the 10
months of violence that according to the
United Nations has killed at least 5,400
people as Assad seeks to crush persistent
protests demanding an end to his rule.
The United Nations is holding talks on
a new resolution on Syria and next week
will discuss an Arab peace plan aimed at
ending the crisis. But the initiatives face
two major obstacles: Damascus rejec-
tion of an Arab peace plan which it says
impinges on its sovereignty, and Russias
willingness touse its U.N. Security Coun-
cil veto to protect Syria from sanctions.

LONDON The criminal investiga-
tion into British tabloid skullduggery
turned full force on a second Rupert
Murdoch publication Saturday, with
the arrest of four current and former
journalists from The Sun on suspicion
of bribing police.
Aserving police officer was also held,
and authorities searched the newspa-
pers offices as part aninvestigationinto
illegal payments for information.
The arrests spread the scandal over
tabloid wrongdoing which has al-
ready shut down one Murdoch paper,
the News of the World to Britains
best-selling newspaper.
London police said two men aged 48
and one aged 56 were arrested on suspi-
cion of corruption early in the morning
at homes in and around London. A 42-
year-old man was detained later at a
London police station.
Murdochs News Corp. confirmed
that all four were current or former Sun
employees. The BBC and other British
media identified them as former ma-
naging editor GrahamDudman, former
deputy editor Fergus Shanahan, current
headof news Chris Pharoandcrime edi-
tor Mike Sullivan.
A fifth man, a 29-year-old police offi-
cer, was arrested at the London station
where he works.
Officers searched the mens homes
and the east London headquarters of
the media moguls British newspapers
for evidence.
The investigation into whether re-
porters illegally paid police for informa-
tion is running parallel to a police inqui-
ry into phone hacking by Murdochs
now-defunct News of the World.

Grevera has also been quick to
put his imprint on the countys
smallest district with the accent
on collaboration.
In professional learning com-
munities, teachers who share a
group of students have time to
meet and discuss achievement
and behavior issues, then work
across curriculum to resolve
those problems, Grevera said.
In February, Grevera hopes to
launch a child study system, an-
other teacher collaboration to
catchpotential learningproblems
a student is having and correct
themearly.
The district will also form a
committee toreviewits strategic
plan, Grevera said. We will look
at everything from education to
technology programs.
The review comes at a time
when all districts have been
forced to reinvent themselves in
the wake of massive state subsidy
cuts under Gov. TomCorbett last
year, a trendexpectedtocontinue
this year.
Grevera said the board has be-
gun the budget process and re-
cently voted to keep any tax hike
under astatemaximumof 2.4per-
cent above last years rate.
This will be one of the more

colleges inaugural Ready to Run
Campaign Training for Women
conference.
The protesters rallied against
the Catholic university for invit-
ing Margolies and others who
support abortion rights to speak
at the conference, and said they
supported Diocese of Scranton
Bishop Joseph Bambera, who in
a statement last week called the
invitation of Margolies dismay-
ing and personally dishearten-
ing.
(University
President the Rev.
Kevin Quinn) is in
direct disobedi-
ence to the Ca-
tholic bishops in
the United States,
who as one have
spoken, telling
people in the
Church that pro-
abortion people
are not welcome on Catholic
properties, said protester Joe
OHara, of Hollenback Town-
ship. Its not a question of free
speech; its a question of stand-
ing up for Catholic rights.
Zavoski described the confer-
ence as a nonpartisan, non-ide-
ological nuts and bolts prim-
er for women interested in run-
ning for office and said Margo-
lies would not be addressing
abortion. Whether she touched
on the subject couldnt be ascer-
tained because the university, a
private institution, barred media
from the event.
It has to do with maintaining
the integrity of the program,
and the best way they saw to do
that was to keep it closed, Za-
voski explained. If youre seek-
ing to run for office in an area,
you dont necessarily want ev-
eryone to know.
But protesters said the topic
of discussion at the forum didnt
matter; they still opposed Mar-
golies presence.
Speaking about things like
women in politics, it sounds so
noble, Burke said. I ask you
this, if (Nation of Islam leader)
Louis Farrakhan or (former Ku
Klux Klan leader) David Duke
were experts on some topic
such as global warming, would
(Quinn) invite them?
Marjorie Margolies, a public
promoter of abortion, is being
given a Catholic platform, some-
thing which goes against the
purpose of the university, said
John Ritchie, of the national Ca-
tholic organization, The Amer-
ican Society for the Defense of
Tradition, Family and Property.
Ritchies group bolstered the
number of protesters by about
40, and brought with them
drummers and bagpipers. They
also held a separate protest be-
fore Burkes in front of The Uni-
versity of Scranton sign at the
corner of Mulberry Street and
Jefferson Avenue, and after-
wards marched to Brennan Hall,
where the conference was held.
The protest was also joined by
several Diocese priests, includ-
ing the Rev. Philip Rayappen of
Queen of Angels parish, Jessup,
who led the group in prayer, and
at least two University of Scran-
ton students.
I think that for (Quinn) to do
this shows that he wants to
move the university in a direc-
tion away from Catholic doc-
trine, said junior Bernadette
Mick, of Hazleton.
When you go to a Catholic
school, you expect church doc-
trine to be taught. I expect to be
challenged, yes but I think
there are certain moral pillars to
uphold.
The college did not offer any
new response to the protest, but
Zavoski said protesters were
free to assemble on campus
sidewalks and green areas and
make their point heard, as
Ritchies group did to end the
rally.

It was like a second home to

to leave for Orlando; but, I

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.
Republican presidential
hopeful Rick Santorum has
canceled his Sunday morning
campaign events and is spend-
ing time with his hospitalized
daughter.
Santorum spokesman Hogan
Gidley said Saturday night that
the former Pennsylvania sen-
ator and his wife, Karen, were
with 3-year-old Bella at Chil-
drens Hospital of Philadelphia.
Gidley says Santorum plans to
return to campaigning in Flor-
ida as soon as possible.
Bella Santorum has Trisomy
18, a genetic condition caused
by the presence of all or part of
an extra 18th chromosome.
Bella was not expected to
survive until her first birthday
and her health worries have
canceled previous Santorum
campaign events.
Santorum had scheduled to
appear on NBCs Meet the
Press and attend church in
Miami.

showcase their communities.
Mackin said that whenever he
watches news reports on the early
primaries and sees the large num-
ber of media members and cam-
paign staffers and entourages, he
wonders what could have been has
Pennsylvania moved its primary to
an earlier date.
As one of the key battleground
political science professor Jeff
Brauer said. Incredibleamounts of
ad buys go into local media mar-
kets.
The candidates and their sup-
porters spent $12.5 million on tele-
vision ads alone, reported ABC
news, citing the Campaign Media
Analysis Group. In South Carolina,
about the same amount was spent
on campaign advertising, accord-
ing to the same firm.
ChuckMorgan, general manager
at WNEP-TV in Moosic, said he
would love the primaries to be
moved up in the state so radio and
television stations and newspapers
could benefit from the campaign
cash. It would be tremendous for
local media, he said.
And a tremendous financial loss
for the travel and tourismindustry,
too, said Merle Mackin, the direc-
tor of the Luzerne County Conven-
tion and Visitors Bureau.
He estimated that just North-
eastern Pennsylvania would see an
influx of about $100,000 per day if
the states primary were held in Ja-
nuary, February or even March.
But its morethanjust theactual
dollar amount, Mackin said.
More important is the national
spotlight on these communities. It
gives them the opportunity to
states, and with Northeastern
Pennsylvania being a true battle-
ground region, he said hes sure
candidates and their campaigns
would set up operations in the
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre region and
spend tons of money on food, lodg-
ing, gas, groceries and more.
Its a huge economic impact. I
mean tremendous, Mackin said.
STATE
Wilkes University.
Dave Sosar, a political science profes-
sor at Kings College, agreed, sayingthat
unless former House Speaker Newt Gin-
grichcanpull off some surprise victories
over the next two months, Pennsylvania
voters will realistically be choosing be-
tween front-runner Mitt Romney and a
group of candidates whove already ei-
ther removedtheir names fromconsider-
ation or have no mathematical chance at
securing the nomination.
The historic order of things, or as
Keystone College political science pro-
fessor Jeff Brauer calls it political tradi-
tion, is why states go the polls in the or-
der theydoinpresidential electionyears.
He said its why Iowa is first, New
Hampshire second, South Carolina third
and on and on the list goes. And when
states try to move up in the pecking or-
der, as Michigan and Florida did four
years ago, theyre punished.
That year, Florida disregarded nation-
al Democratic National Committee
warnings and moved its primary up to
Jan. 29. As a result, the DNCsanctioned
the state, stripped all 210 delegates and
refused to seat themat the convention.
The DNC Rules and Bylaws Commit-
ted later met and agreed to seat all of
Floridas delegates but giving them only
one-half of a vote. As a result of this com-
promise, Floridas had 105 votes at the
convention. Michigan suffered similar
penalties for moving its primary up to
Jan. 15 that year.
Basically, states are expected to keep
their order andrespect thepolitical tradi-
tions of the primaries. Switching the or-
der means major unexpected shifts in
strategyfor thecandidates andthepoliti-
cal parties which they are not interested
in doing, Brauer said.
Decision time
Candidates must make a decision
shortly about whether to allocate the
funds and efforts to acquire enough sig-
natures to try to appear on the ballot on
Pennsylvania.
Nominatingpetitions are permittedto
be circulated until Feb. 14 and if the re-
quired 2,000 signatures are collected,
and the $200 fee is paid, the candidate
can have his or her name appear on the
April 24 ballot.
Theprofessors all agreedthat Romney
will definitely be on the ballot. They dif-
fered on Gingrich, Santorumand Paul.
None believed that Rick Santorum
would remain in the race into April, but
some believed that since he represented
Pennsylvania in the U.S. Senate he has
enough of a following and campaign
teamin place in the state that they could
get the requisite signatures and get his
name on the ballot whether he will stick
it out or not.
Ron Paul, a Texas congressman and
Pittsburgh native, also has enough of a
followinginPennsylvania frompast elec-
tions that he too might be able to get his
name on the ballot even though all three
area professors said he has no chance of
securing the nomination.
While Gingrich, Santorum and Rom-
ney each pulling in wins in the early
races, no candidate has locked up the
nomination and become the clear-cut fa-
vorite causing the other candidates to
drop out. But the race is lighter by four
candidates since Thanksgiving.
Businessman Herman Cain was the
first to go, then Minnesota Congresswo-
man Michele Bachmann then former
Utah Gov. John Huntsman and finally
Texas Gov. Rick Perry.
The Gingrich factor
BaldinosaidPennsylvaniacanstill bea
viableplayer inthenominatingprocess if
Romney makes some missteps or Gin-
grichbuilds onhis momentumafter win-
ning South Carolina and continues to
capture some states to remain within re-
ach of Romney.
Its an optimistic scenario, Baldino
said, noting that he doesnt believe Gin-
grich can win Floridas primary on Tues-
day, and it could spell the end for his
chance. But a surprise victory wouldcer-
tainly shuffle things significantly and
make the odds muchbetter that Pennsyl-
vania could still be in play.
PRIMARY
WILKES-BARRE Joe Carey,
coordinator of the Bowl For Ron
2 event at Chackos Family Bowl-
ing Center on Saturday, was well
aware that, more than having
done a goodjobat gatheringbow-
lers for a bit of friendly competi-
tion, he had made it possible to
raise money for the American
Cancer Society, bringing togeth-
er friends andfamily to honor the
memory of Ron Milgate for a sec-
ond year.
The event, sponsored by Weg-
mans, cost each bowler $20,
which included two hours of un-
limited bowling and refresh-
ments. This year approximately
60 people participated and six
lanes werefilledwithbowlers, ea-
ger to both have fun and do a
good thing.
Last year, the benefit proceeds
were directed to the Deaf Society
of Wilkes-Barre.
Milgate, who was deaf, strug-
gled with various physical chal-
lenges throughout his lifetime,
but nevertheless worked at Sallie
Mae, and was always very active.
Although he passed away from a
sudden heart attack in 2010, his
enthusiasmfor life goes on in the
lives he touched. Bowling was
one of his passions.
"He would have been very hap-
py to see so many people out in
his memory. I think that he is
here with us today," said his
mother, Gloria Flynn.
Carey, the director of Weg-
mans Team Life, emphasized
that although many of those
bowling were employees of Weg-
mans, all had volunteered their
timeandmanyof thebowlers had
a specific attachment to Ron or
his family.
Heather Hagenbaugh, Wilkes-
Barre, who worked with Milgate
at Sallie Mae, remembers Mil-
gate as a jokester andhis goodna-
tured, but competitive, spirit
when he bowled.
"He was like my guardian an-
gel," said Hagenbaugh, "he really
cared about others."
Milgates father, JoeFlynn, also
reflects the family spirit of ser-
vice. Recently retired, he is quick
to add that he is an avid volun-
teer. He remembers that Mil-
gates determination throughout
adversity was an inspiration to
him during his own battle with
cancer.
Jen Cardamone, Hanover
Township, said the event gave
her an opportunity to introduce
her own daughter, Kaitlyn, 3, to
bowling. And Kaitlyn seemed un-
daunted by the size of the ball, as
she stoodsmiling, waitingfor her
turn on the lane.
Many bowlers, including
brother Ryan Flynn, expressed
hope the event would continue
for years to come. Ryan, bowling
for a second year, remembers his
brother as always giving 150 per-
cent.
Many of the attendees of the
event eagerly shared examples of
howMilgates spirit and determi-
nation was an example and inspi-
ration to them.
"People from the community
coming together for a good
cause, that is what Ron would
have wanted," said Matt Marino,
Wilkes-Barre, calling those in at-
tendance good people.

TUBA CITY, Ariz. In the
far reaches of northern Arizona,
where city sprawl gives way to
majestic canyons and a holy
place is defined not by steeple
and cross but rather by earth
and sky, lies a monument to a
peoples past and a symbol of
the promise of peace between
two long-warring Indian na-
tions.
The Hopi people call it Tutu-
veni meaning newspaper rock,
and from a distance this place is
just that a collection of sand-
stone boulders set on a deserted
swath of rust-stained land out-
side of Tuba City, some 80 miles
from the Grand Canyon and a
four-hour drive north of Phoe-
nix.
It is only when you step closer
that you begin to understand
what Tutuveni really is: a histo-
ry of the Hopi Indian tribe
carved into stone.
The site contains some 5,000
petroglyphs of Hopi clan sym-
bols, the largest known collec-
tion of such symbols in the
American Southwest. Accord-
ing to researchers with the Hopi
Cultural Preservation Office, the
many etchings on the boulders
of Tutuveni date as far back as
far back as A.D. 1200.
On the dark desert varnish of
the boulders are rows of bear
paws, corn stalks, spiders,
coyotes, kachinas, clouds,
cranes. Some of the
symbols represent vari-
ous aspects of Hopi cul-
tural life, but most are
the markings of the Ho-
pi clans, or family sys-
tems, which are usual-
ly named for animals
or other natural ob-
jects.
The Hopi made
these engravings dur-
ing ceremonial pilgrim-
ages from their land to
the Grand Canyon to
mark the passage into
adulthood for Hopi young men.
They would stop at Tutuveni
and camp there, and they would
peck their clan symbols on
those rocks to mark their partic-
ipation in that pilgrimage. And
they did this for four or five cen-
turies at least, said Wes Bernar-
dini, an archaeologist and pro-
fessor at the University of Re-
dlands who has been studying
Tutuveni for years. When peo-
ple from the same clan
would visit the site,
they would put their
symbols next to the pre-
vious symbol that some-
body had left earlier.
Theres no other site
that we know of like
that, that shows these
repeated visits.
Its a very important
place.
It is also a place
threatened by modern-
day vandals who view
Tutuveni not as the sa-
cred site and archaeological
treasure that it is, but rather a
canvas for their own graffiti.
Scattered among the many
ancient impressions are the
markings of lovers, history buffs
and random visitors looking to
leave their mark with etchings
such as: Aaron Myrianna 07,
The Victor 10-20-85, Van.B,
Ramon Albert, Ariz. Hy.
Dept. Even: 1969-Man Land
on Moon.
On one rock is a carved image
of the two World Trade Center
towers, with a plane heading for
them. Elsewhere, clan symbols
have been chiseled away or
spray-painted over.
The Hopi had long known
that what they considered a reli-
gious place had become, in-
stead, a gathering spot to drink
beer and act out. There was talk
over the years of erecting a fence
or building berms to help keep
out vehicle traffic.
But the question of how to
protect Tutuveni was complicat-
ed by its mere location: The site,
while recognized as a Hopi tra-
ditional cultural property, ac-
tually sits on land now owned
by the Navajo Indians, the result
of a decades-old dispute that
saw these neighboring tribes
fighting over land each consid-
ered its own. The conflict was
finally resolved in 2006 with
much of the disputed1.5 million
acres going to the Navajos, but
bitterness lingers still.
It might have been easy for
Tutuveni to get caught up in all
of that and its needs over-
looked but for the small
group of researchers, archeolo-
gists and preservationists from
both tribes and beyond who
came together in common
cause: to save this important
cultural resource.
Its something thats really
unique and very special to the
Hopi, said Ron Maldonado, su-
pervisory archaeologist for the
Navajo Nation. In my mind, it
didnt matter who it belonged
to. It needed to be protected,
and that was it.

The endorsement was won by
Steve Welch after an extraordin-
ary show of power by Gov. Tom
Corbett, who began calling state
party officials to tell them of his
support for Welch less than two
weeks ago. Corbett spent much
of Friday and Saturday at the par-
tys winter meeting at the Her-
shey Lodge, speaking at both
public events and in private with
committee members about the
need to endorse the candidate he
backed.
The party followed suit, even
though Welch had finished third
in a series of straw votes earlier
in January and despite pressure
from some quarters, such as Tea
Party-aligned groups, not to en-
dorse anyone. In a brief speech
afterward to state committee
members, Welch told them it
was time to unite as a party and
a conservative movement, but
rivals within minutes attacked
both him and the endorsement
process.
The campaign of TomSmith, a
former coal in-
dustry execu-
tive from Arm-
strong County,
called it a
week full of
negative at-
tacks, arm-
twisting and
backroom deals, and pasted
Welch with the label of a self-
professed moderate with a re-
cord of supporting liberal Demo-
crats like Barack Obama and Joe
Sestak.
Sam Rohrer, a former nine-
term state House member from
Berks County who lost to the
party-endorsed Corbett in the
2010 gubernatorial primary, said
the unusual pressure exerted by
Corbett on state committee
members won Welch the endor-
sement, but would prove damag-
ing to the party.
The endorsement of Welch
will be viewed by grassroots par-
ty members as a poke in the
face, Rohrer said.
Welch has been criticized by
his rivals for briefly changing his
registration to Democrat so he
could vote for Barack Obama in
the 2008 Democratic presiden-
tial primary and giving money to
Sestak when he ran for U.S.
House in 2006. In his prepared
remarks to state committee
members after the vote, Welch
addressed the topic, saying he
was one of hundreds of thou-
sands of people who left the par-
ty because they felt let down by
former President George W.
Bush and a Republican-con-
trolled Congress.

WASHINGTON NBC
asked GOP presidential candi-
date Mitt Romney on Saturday
to pull a campaign advertise-
ment made up almost entirely
of a 1997 Nightly News re-
port on Newt Gingrichs ethics
committee reprimand.
The History Les-
son ad started run-
ning in Florida on the
weekend, when it is
harder for stations to
switch ad traffic even
if they want to.
Broadcast days before
Tuesdays primary,
the ad shows former
NBC anchor Tom
Brokaw saying that
some of Gingrichs
House colleagues had
raised questions about the
then-speakers future effective-
ness.
Under Brokaws image is a
line that reads Paid for by
Romney for President, Ap-
proved by Mitt Romney.
The footage was used with-
out permission and the exten-
sive use of the broadcast in-
accurately suggests that NBC
News and Mr. Brokaw have
consented to the use of this
material and agree with the po-
litical position espoused by the
videos, NBCs vice president
of media law, David N. Stern-
licht, wrote Romneys cam-
paign manager, Matt Rhoades.
Aside from the obvious
copyright issues, this use of the
voice of Mr. Brokaw and the
NBC News name exploits him
and the journalistic credibility
of NBC News, the letter said.
The network asked for the
campaign to stop running the
ad immediately and revise any
other videos or commercials to
remove at NBC material.
As a news organization,
NBC News objects to any use
of NBC News journalists and
our copyrighted material that
suggests to the public that we
or our journalists are taking
sides with any individual or or-
ganization involved in a politi-
cal campaign or
dispute, and we
request that your
organization re-
spect that con-
cern, the letter
said.
Romney advis-
er Eric Fehrn-
strom said the
campaign isnt
likely to stop
running the ad.
We just re-
ceived the letter. We are re-
viewing it, but we believe it
falls within fair use, he said.
We didnt take the entire
broadcast; we just took the first
30 seconds.
NBC spokeswoman Lauren
Kapp said a similar request
went to other campaigns that
have inappropriately used
material from Nightly News,
Meet the Press, Today and
MSNBC. Kapp said she was
not aware of such uses by other
campaigns.
Brokaw said in a statement
released by NBC that he was
extremely uncomfortable with
the extended use of my person-
al image in this political ad. I
do not want my role as a jour-
nalist compromised for politi-
cal gain by any campaign.
NBC asks Romney to remove
news material from latest ad
The History Lesson ad
started running in Florida
during the weekend.
The ad shows former
NBC anchor Tom
Brokaw saying that
some of Gingrichs
House colleagues
had raised questions
about the then-
speakers future
effectiveness.
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. On
the weekend before the pivotal
Florida primary, Newt Gingrich
vowed on Saturday to stay in
the race for the Republican pres-
idential nomination until the na-
tional convention this summer
even if he loses Tuesdays vote.
Front-runner Mitt Romney
poured on the criticism of his
rival in television ads airing
across the
state.
Gingrichs
pledge, in
an already
remarkably
unpredict-
able race,
raised the
prospect of
an extended struggle inside the
party as Republicans work to
defeat President Barack Obama
in the fall. You just had two
national polls that show me
ahead, he said. Why dont you
ask Gov. Romney what he will
do if he loses in Florida.
As the two rivals made their
appeals to Hispanic, Jewish and
tea party voters, veterans of the
armed forces and others, all
known indicators pointed to a
good day for Romney in the pri-
mary.
He and his allies held a 3-1
advantage in money spent on
television advertising in the
races final days. Robust early
vote and absentee ballot totals
followed a pre-primary turnout
operation by his campaign.
Even the schedules the two men
kept underscored the shape of
the race moderate for Rom-
ney, heavy for Gingrich.
Campaigning like a front-run-
ner, Romney made few referenc-
es to Gingrich. Instead, he crit-
icized Obamas plans to cut the
size of the armed forces. Hes
detached from reality, the for-
mer Massachusetts governor
said.
The foreign policy of pretty
please is not working terribly
well, he added. Romney said he
wants to add 100,000 troops, not
cut them.
If his personal rhetoric was di-
rected Obamas way, the televi-
sion commercials were trained
on Gingrich, whose victory in
last Saturdays South Carolina
primary upended the race for
the nomination. A new ad re-
leased as the weekend began is
devoted to the day in 1997 when
Gingrich received an ethics rep-
rimand from the House while
serving as speaker and was or-
dered to pay a $300,000 fine.
Nearly the entire 30-second
ad consists of NBC News an-
chor Tom Brokaws nationally
broadcast description of the
events on the evening news. By
an overwhelming vote, they
found him guilty of ethics vio-
lations; they charged him a very
large financial penalty, and they
raised several of them
raised serious questions about
his future effectiveness, Bro-
kaw said that night, and now
again on televisions across Flor-
ida.
Both NBC and the former
newsman registered objections.
The network called on the cam-
paign to stop using the footage
and Brokaw said in a statement,
I do not want my role as a
journalist compromised for po-
litical gain by any campaign.
A Romney adviser, Eric
Fehrnstrom, said the campaign
wasnt likely to stop running the
ad. We believe it falls within
fair use, he said. We didnt
take the entire broadcast; we
just took the first 30 seconds.
Whatever its impact, the ad
represented part of a barrage
that Gingrich could not match.
A second Romney ad said
Gingrich had cashed in as a
Washington insider while the
housing crisis was hitting Flor-
ida particularly hard.
Figures made available to The
Associated Press showed Rom-
ney was spending $2.8 million
to air television commercials in
the final week of the Florida
campaign. In addition, a group
supporting him, Restore Our Fu-
ture, was spending $4 million
more, for a combined total of
$6.8 million.

ELECTION
WASHINGTON Just how
rich is Mitt Romney? Add up the
wealth of the last eight presi-
dents, from Richard Nixon to
Barack Obama. Then double
that number. Now youre in
Romney territory.
He would be among the rich-
est presidents in American his-
tory if elected probably in the
top four.
He couldnt top George Wash-
ington who, with nearly 60,000
acres and more than 300 slaves,
is considered the big daddy of
presidential wealth. After that, it
gets complicated, depending
how you rate Thomas Jeffersons
plantation, Herbert Hoovers
millions from mining or John F.
Kennedys share of the vast fam-
ily fortune, as well as the finer
points of factors like inflation
adjustment.
But its safe to say the Roose-
velts had nothing on
Romney, and the Bushes
are nowhere close.
The former Massachu-
setts governor has dis-
closed only the broad
outlines of his wealth,
putting it somewhere
from $190 million to $250
million. That easily could
make him 50 times richer
than Obama, who falls in
the still-impressive-to-
most-of-us range of $2.2
million to $7.5 million.
I think its almost hard to
conceptualize what $250 million
means, said Shamus Khan, a
Columbia University sociologist
who studies the wealthy. Peo-
ple say Romney made $50,000 a
day while not working last year.
What do you do with all that
money? I cant even imagine
spending it. Well, maybe ...
Of course, an unbelievable
boatload of bucks is just one
way to think of Romneys net
worth, and the 44 U.S. presi-
dents make up a pretty small
pond for him to swim in. Put
alongside Americas 400 or so
billionaires, Romney wouldnt
make a ripple.
So heres a
look where Rom-
neys riches rank
among the
most flush Amer-
icans, the White
House conten-
ders, and the rest
of us:
Within the 1
percent:
Romney is
small potatoes
compared with the ultra-
wealthy, said Jeffrey Winters, a
political scientist at Northwest-
ern University who studies the
nations elites.
After all, even in the rarefied
world of the top 1 percent,
theres a big difference between
life at the top and at the bottom.
A household needs to bring in
roughly $400,000 per year to
make the cut. Romney and his
wife, Ann, have been making 50
times that more than $20 mil-
lion a year. In 2009, only 8,274
federal tax filers had income
above $10 million. Romney is
solidly within that elite 0.006
percent of all U.S. taxpayers.
Congress is flush with million-
aires. Only a few are in the Rom-
ney realm, including Rep. Dar-
rell Issa, R-Calif., and Massachu-
setts Sen. John Kerry, who was
the Democratic presidential
nominee in 2004. Kerrys rank-
ing would climb much higher if
the fortune of his wife, Teresa
Heinz, were counted. She is the
widow of Sen. John Heinz, heir
to the Heinz ketchup fortune.
Further up the ladder, top
hedge fund managers can pocket
$1 billion or more in a single
year.
At the top of the wealth pile
sits Bill Gates, worth $59 bil-
lion, according to Forbes maga-
zines estimates.
As a potential president:
Romney clearly stands out
here. Americas super rich gen-
erally dont jockey to live in the
White House. A few have toyed
with the idea, most notably New
York Mayor Michael Bloomberg,
whom Forbes ranks as the 12th
richest American, worth $19.5
billion. A lesser billionaire, Ross
Perot, bankrolled his own third-
party campaigns in 1992 and
1996.
Romney would be among richest presidents

Of course, an un-
believable boat-
load of bucks is
just one way to
think of Romneys
net worth, and the
44 U.S. presidents
make up a pretty
small pond for him
to swim in.

Locally Owned And Operated Serving The Public Since 1984
WILKES-BARRE The annual
League of Women Voters Legisla-
tive Breakfast had a different fla-
vor to it this year.
Seven of the eight Luzerne
County state legislators started
the session by talking about
Wednesdays state Supreme
Court ruling that threw out a
map of legislative districts drawn
up with the latest census figures.
That action has sent all state leg-
islators scrambling to figure out
who they will be representing af-
ter the 2012 election.
I dont think anyone knows
who we will be representing or
what our districts will look like,
said State Rep. Gerald Mullery,
D-Newport Township. But there
is no doubt in my mind that the
lines that were drawn are uncon-
stitutional. It was a partisan ef-
fort to institute Republican ma-
jorities for the next 10 years.
The GOP holds the majority in
the state House of Representa-
tives and Senate and Gov. Tom
Corbett is a Republican. Mullery
said the Supreme Court put the
bully in the schoolyard in its
place.
We will now have a second
bite at the apple to get it right,
Mullery said.
Joining Mullery at the event at
Kings College were State Reps.
Karen Boback, R-Harveys Lake;
Eddie Day Pashinski, D-Wilkes-
Barre; Mike Carroll, D-Avoca; Ta-
rah Toohil, R-Butler Township;
Phyllis Mundy, D-Kingston; and
state Sen. John Yudichak, D-Ply-
mouth Township. State Sen. Lisa
Baker, R-Lehman Township, had
another commitment.
Boback said if the court rules
that the lines drawnin2001are to
be used, it would create uneven
districts. She said some districts
would have 45,000 residents and
others would have more than
80,000.
Many were not waiting to see
the details of the courts reason-
ing in a written opinion that will
not be available until next week,
at the earliest, because the three-
week period to circulate nomi-
nating petitions to get on the bal-
lot has just begun. Toohil saidshe
is getting signatures from resi-
dents of her current district and
from new towns that could be-
comepart of her redrawndistrict.
I urge voters to speak out and
send letters, Toohil said.
Yudichak said the redistricting
maps were a result of a partisan
plan to gain political advantage.
He called for a reform of the re-
districting process to create in
independent commission to han-
dle it.
We have to remove the poli-
tics, he said.
We have to let
the voters de-
cide who goes
to Harrisburg
to represent
them not the
party bosses.
Carroll said
Democrats are to be blamed as
well. He said in 2001, Monroe
County ended up with six Senate
districts andfour Housedistricts.
We have to change the way
this is done, Carroll said. Inevi-
tably, theres going to be a line
drawn somewhere.
The legislators discussed sev-
eral topics. They discussed the
need for a Constitutional Con-
vention the last one held in
Pennsylvania was 1968.
Marcellus Shale was discussed
at length. All of the legislators ex-
pressed concern about the need
for regulation to protect the envi-
ronment, specifically water, and
they favored enactment of a tax
to extract revenue from the in-
dustry that can be used to fix
roads and bridges damaged by
the increased traffic caused by
the industry.
It appears our governor is ve-
ry reluctant to do anything legis-
latively to protect us, Mundy
said.
Yudichak said legislators have
to find a way to get the jobs from
the well pad to Main Street.
Pashinski agreed, saying too
many Marcellus shale jobs are
done by people from Texas and
Louisiana.
Education was another topic
and the legislators stressed the
importance of finding enough
funding in the budget. Health
care and voter ID were also de-
bated, as were getting rid of the
Amazon and Delaware loop-
holes.

A regional trash-hauling com-
pany increased its community
educational initiative commit-
ment and is encouraging schools
in Luzerne County to apply for
fundingfor programsdesignedto
teach children how to respect
others.
J.PMascaro&Sons has tripled
funding to its RESPECT pro-
gram by adding $2.5 million.
Educators are encouraged to ap-
ply for grants that benefit chil-
dren in second through fifth
grades.
The next deadline is April 15.
Employing about 120 people,
Mascaros Wyoming Valley Divi-
sion in Nanticoke is the base op-
eration for 45 collection vehicles,

ley area.
Schools in Northeastern Penn-
sylvaniaareeligiblebecauseMas-
cara does business in this region.
In 2006, J.P. Mascaro & Sons
launched its company-developed
RESPECT Program with an ini-
tial commitment of $1.25million.
The RESPECT program is the
foundation of the companys
community education efforts.
The fun-filled interactive pro-
gram is presented to more than
125,000 children in elementary
schools in the companys service
area.
The program, an educational
assembly program assisted by
company mascot Dumpo, was
developed to teach the guided
principle of respect at an early
age. The presentation highlights
respect for the environment
through recycling.
The children love this upbeat
program. I believe the respect
message is gettingthrough, said
Program Coordinator Diana Is-
kolsky.
The Respect Program Educa-
tion Grant is a maximum award
upto$5,000. Grant includes indi-
vidual student scholarships and
is designed to give educators the
opportunitytoimplement educa-
tional activities that promote re-
spect forpeople, propertyandthe
environment.
Weve only scratched the sur-
face and the number of participa-
ting districts will greatly expand
in this upcoming school year,
said Iskolsky. The teachers are
enthusiastic about the RE-
SPECT Program because it de-
livers an important message, its
fun for their students, and it tou-
ches upon several of the States
educational standards.
Applicants must be educators
of childreninthe secondthrough
fifth grades. Presentations are
available in Berks, Bucks, Car-
bon, Chester, Delaware, Lancas-
ter, Lehigh, Luzerne, Monroe,
Montgomery, Philadelphia and
Schuylkill counties. For more in-
formation, log onto www.theres-

Your gentle face and patient smile with sad-

and died beloved by all. You were a gift sent
straight from Heaven; given to us from God
above. We didnt know how much you would
teach us about the meaning of true love... for

Happy Birthday To
Our Angel Above
1/29/68 - 1/19/12
true love sometimes means letting go of someone precious and dear.
That is what we were forced to do... although we wanted to keep you
here!! However, this is quite a selfsh wish. One we know we should
ignore...but, sweet Tommy, we have to truly believe that God must have
needed you more...perhaps to be an angel now, full of wisdom and love...
watching over those of us who love you, from the shining stars above.
Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same. But as God
calls us one by one, the chain will link again. We miss you more than
you can know. You will never be replaced...in our hearts and memories
forever will be your sweet and innocent sleeping face.

involved in the process that merged St. Cecilia and
St. Anthony into the new St. Barbara Parish left a
sour taste.
We are definitely less active, Thomas said. St.
Ceciliaisstill openandused, but weweredissatisfied
with how the church seemed to have everything
worked out in advance.
It was acommonlament amongthosewhopartici-
patedintheprocessthroughparishcouncilsset upby
Martino, though few have been willing to say any-
thing on the record.
Dissatisfaction prompted at least six appeals of
parish closings. All but one ended with the closing
beingupheldat one stage or another andthe appeals
dropped.
That one is Sacred Heart in Wilkes-Barre, where a
band of parishioners formed a foundation to raise
moneyandsavetheirchurchyearsbeforetheconsoli-
dation process.
Wesawthewritingonthewall, saidNoreenFoti,
who along withher husbandhas spearheadedthe ef-
fort, whichultimatelyledtoanappeal nowawaitinga
hearing before the Apostolic Signatora in Rome, es-
sentially the Supreme Court of the Vatican.
We were the only ones that made it this far, she
said.
Foti creditsthestrengthof thecase
they have put forth arguing the
churchitself isof historicsignificance
on multiple fronts as well as strong
support among many parishioners.
Bambera has promisedtoabide by
the Vaticans decision. The two sides
file written arguments in December.
But Foti questions the belief that
many faithful have adapted to the
changes. She herself has been going
to different churches since Sacred
Heart closed, never settling on one.
Noone Ive met has gottenover it as
quicklyasthedioceseexpected,Foti
said.
A very common sentiment I hear
expressed from people is that their
faith remains strong but they have
beenchangedforever; theywill never
be the same Catholic as before this
debacle.
For Jeff Papciak, the organist at St. Boniface
Church in Wilkes-Barre before it closed, the restruc-
turing provided a quirky road back to his music min-
istry roots.
A Wilkes-Barre native who moved to Mountain
Top in1999, Papciak had begun playing the organ at
the age of 14 in what was then St. Patricks Church.
My organ at home broke and it was going to take
several weeks to repair, Papciak, 43, recalled. I was
a bit of a minor protg of Ed Lochs (organist at St.
Patrick at the time), and he said, We cant have you
not practicing. So he called the church and asked if
we could have a key.
Theupshot, thepastor at thetimesaidyes, as long
as Papciak played organ at Mass.
Papciak found himself eventually playing organ in
a Wilkes-Barre Methodist church, then at St. Boni-
face. When St. Boniface merged with St. Patrick and
Holy Rosary churches and all three became St. An-
drew in the St. Patrick building, it kind of all made
sense to play organ for St. Andrew, Papciak said. It
was very much like coming home.
There were some small problems as the churches
merged, Papciak said, but I sense those who have
come together are cooperating better in building up
the parish, and thats a nice thing to see.
Personal commitment
In the end, Bambera said, being Catholic in the
wakeof somuchchangeis still aquestionof personal
faithandcommitment thesameas its always been.
The diocese was built by people who gave time and
treasure to the Church; it will be rebuilt the same
way.
What it like to be Catholic now that weve gone
through all the upheaval? Bambera said. What its
liketobeCatholicnowis thesameas what it was like
to be a Catholic before. Structures were challenged,
but not the heart and soul of our people To even
wonder about that is to shortchange the depth of
faith of the people in the Diocese of Scranton.
ceseturnedacorner? Andhavethefaithful remained
just that?
Bishop encouraged
If you look at the numbers, they look very encou-
raging, Bishop Joseph Bambera said. They reflect
some real dollars and cents as a result of some of the
restructuring and liquidation of assets, particularly
the sale of St. Michaels School.
People ask What are you going to do with that
money? Imnot going to do anything with it, Bam-
bera continued. It goes toward addressing signifi-
cant debt.
Sofinanciallytheanswerisaqualifiedyes: Thedio-
cese seems to have turned a corner, though its still
too early to be sure it is on financial terra firma.
Bambera believes the worst of the consolidations
is likewise over, but cautions we should never say
never, tomoreclosingsor moreexpansion, if need-
ed. Still, steps have beentakento keep
parishes financially solvent.
One of the big problems, according
to Bamberas predecessor, Bishop Jo-
seph Martino who oversaw much of
the school and church consolidation,
was local parish and school debts that
had grown unchecked for years.
Under Bambera, the diocese is ex-
panding the Parish Life office, partic-
ularly to support planning in our par-
ishes.
Bamberahasrequiredall parishesto
set up parish planning councils that
will become the visioning body for
their community. For nowwe are very
stable, and we are putting in a system
to prevent such unsettling changes in
the future.
While consolidating parishes alle-
viates the priest shortage simply by re-
ducing the number of churches, the
shortage remains.
Bambera said not only is the number down to
about150, but in10yearsweanticipate, duetoretire-
ment, well lose about 47 priests.
A neweffort to encourage men to enter the order
has pushedthenumber inseminaryupto14onceit
was as lowas four but even if all are ultimately or-
dained were still looking at a net loss of 33 men in
the next 10 years.
We havent turned the corner in having enough
men to replace every priest who retires or dies un-
expectedly, Bambera said, but there is an uptick,
which gives me a great deal of hope.
Bamberaseesevenmorereasonforhopeinasharp
increase in the number of men deciding to become
permanent deacons, a separate ordained order with
many of the abilities of a priest.
The diocese has 60 ordained permanent deacons
andanother18begantrainingthisyear. Coupledwith
a newinterest bylaypeople ina varietyof ministries,
Bambera said he believes the church both clergy
and laity is returning to an old concept: The lay
people are the bedrock of the faith.
There are clearly individuals who are nowbegin-
ningtorealize that tosay we are Catholic demands a
response on our part. Not simply a verbal acknowl-
edgment, but a life that fortifies the Word of God.
Thedioceseis tryingtosupport this byswitchingthe
vocation office frompart time to full-time.
One of the things I have to say that has always
been a bright spot for me and perhaps Im a little
prejudicedbecauseits myhomedioceseis our peo-
ple, Bambera said. Despite all the challenges, they
have always been upbeat, optimistic and faith-filled.
And there has never been a corner to turn in that re-
gard.

There are clearly

Bishop Joseph Bambera

On new interest by lay people
in ministries
The sanctuary of St. Pe-
ters Cathedral in Scran-
ton is seen during a ser-
vice Wednesday. In recent
restructuring, the diocese
went from 200 churches
to about 126 parishes,
with some parishes keep-
ing more than one building
operating. In Luzerne
County, the number plum-
meted from103 in 2005
to 57 in 2012. Of those
buildings still in use, sev-
en are worship sites for
consolidated parishes,
meaning their fate de-
pends in part on how
needed they are in coming
years.
DIOCESE
C M Y K
N E W S
Total revenue and sup-
port rose from $26.3 million
to $40 million. Cash and
equivalent rose from $5.7
million to $14.5 million.
Despite cutting the num-
ber of churches roughly in
half, income from the dioce-
san assessment levied on
churches rose from $3.5 mil-
lion to $4.2 million. In an
email response to questions,
diocesan spokesman Bill Ge-
nello said this is due mainly
to an increase in the rate of
assessment, from 8.5 percent
to 9.5 percent. When school
consolidations were an-
nounced, one reason given
was to ease the drain on
many churches that ran
schools so they could more
readily meet their assess-
ments.
General insurance premi-
ums the diocese is self-
insured and builds up a fund
to cover risks have dropped
from $4.7 million to $3.9
million. This was the result of
sale of buildings that were
closed as well as the sale of
St. Michaels School, which
took in students with partic-
ularly challenging problems,
Genello said. The diocese also
enrolled Little Flower Manor
nursing facility in Wilkes-
Barre into a separate insur-
ance program.
The numbers are not all
rosy. The diocese medical
insurance premiums rose from
$2.8 million to $8.4 million,
though thats understandable.
The self-insurance program
was implemented in 2005 and
has risen steadily ever since.
Payments for the unemploy-
ment fund jumped from a low
of $340,000 to $859,000, and
a new line item was added,
Liability for Pension Bene-
fits, set at $12.4 million in
2011. Genellos email said the
diocese is setting aside money
for previously under-funded
items, and that the pension
changes were required under
new standards issued by the
Financial Accounting Stan-
dards Board, which sets ac-
counting standards for private
sector organizations in the
United States.
And while the diocese has
seen big infusions of cash in
the last two years, it wont
last.
The closing of churches
brought in $5.1 million in
2010 and another $2 million
in 2011 from a controversial
decision by Martino. When
parishes merged and one
closed, assets of the closed
church typically went to the
remaining one.
Martino determined that
Church Law allowed the dio-
cese to take about 42 percent
of the assets from a closed
ethnic parish built to serve
immigrants of a specific eth-
nicity when that parish
merged with a territorial
parish built to serve a specific
area. The diocese insists the
money is used first to pay off
any debt owed by the church.
With most of the closings
completed, that revenue will
drop off dramatically.
Likewise, the church has
profited from the sale of prop-
erty, a category that previous-
ly stayed below $40,000 in
most years. In 2011 it hit $4.8
million, though Genello noted
that was primarily due to the
sale of St. Michaels, a spraw-
ling complex that was not
closed but transferred to a
private company as an ongo-
ing business.
MONEY
ismatic prayer group that meets Tues-
day evenings inthe chapel. Our religious
education program has doubled in size,
bringingus uptoabout 400 childrenpre-
kindergarten through grade 8.
The church can accommodate such a
large weekly gathering of children
thanks to the neighboring St. Nicholas/
St. Marys elementary school original-
ly built as a high school. We use the
school, but its practically full Sunday
morning.
Those classes are in English, but in-
clude Spanish-speaking adults. Other
church education programs sacramen-
tal preparation programs, for example,
are done the same way, usually with The
WILKES-BARRE For most Roman
Catholics, sweeping church consolida-
tion in the Diocese of Scranton meant
the loss of long-valued buildings and the
difficulty of merging with a new parish.
For Monsignor Joseph Rauscher, pas-
tor of St. Nicholas in Wilkes-Barre, it
meant accommodatinga tremendous in-
flux of Latino practitioners as St. Nicks
became home to Wyoming Valleys His-
panic Ministry.
We estimate an addition of about 400
families, over 1,000 parishioners,
Rauscher said. We added a 12 noon
Mass inSpanish, Theres aSpanishChar-
Rev. Fidel Ticona help-
ing. Ticona, a Peru na-
tive, is a member of
and resides with the
Holy Cross Congrega-
tion, the religious or-
der that runs Kings
College in Wilkes-
Barre.
Hosting the Hispanic Ministry also
meant incorporating celebrations im-
portant to different nationalities.
They have great devotion to Our
Blessed Mother, so we have a celebra-
tion of Our Lady of Guadalupe every
year, plus a Puerto Rican celebration of
Our Lady of Providencia in November.
Last weekwe hadOur Ladyof Altagarcia
for the Dominican Republicans.
Along with helping in some of the pro-
grams and celebrating the Sunday Mass
in Spanish, Ticona produces a weekly
church bulletin in Spanish.
The Hispanic community has repeat-
edly stepped up in supporting such pro-
grams, raisingmoney as neededandpro-
vided volunteers. They set up three
booths offering ethnic foods that proved
popular in last summers annual church
bazaar, one of the biggest in the area.
We probably set a record in profits
last year, Rauscher said. On the
grounds, we sold about $110,000 worth
of food tickets in three nights.
As one of the areas largest and more
successful churches, St. Nicholas was
not part of the massive consolidations
beyond taking in the Hispanic Ministry,
though the church still saw growth
through arrival of members of other
churches that were closed. All told,
Rauscher said, the dramatic changes
that reshapedthe diocese inrecent years
put a long list of new demands on St.
Nicks. Space, Rauscher said, is getting
tight.
People look andsay, Youhave all this
space! but withall the activities it canbe
hard to find a meeting space or time.
Still he added, It seems tobe working
out well.

imHlivia is the owner of the Leverage Fitness StudioinFortyFort. Hlivia, 39, is a graduate of
Bishop Hafey High School and Penn State University where he earned his Bachelor of Sci-
ence in Exercise and Sports Science.
In 2008, he graduated fromMisericordia University, with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing.
He attained his National Exercise Trainers Association certification in 1995.
He is currently a Luzerne County Probation Officer since 2002 and lives in Dallas.
You own a gym and you are a
probation officer? My father,
John, was inlawenforcement as a
state trooper and county detec-
tive. Its what I know and grew up
with, so being a probation officer
is a career I amproud of. Fitness
has always been my passion
and it was a dream of mine to
opena gym. I simply could not
do it years ago because I was
focused on school and my
county job and I had to make
a living. Now I have the
means to pursue it.
When was that defining
moment that you knew it
was time to open the gym?
I remember the exact moment. It
was around 9 a.m. on a Saturday in
the middle of May in 2010. I had been
pondering the notion for a few years
and I had worked for other gyms onan
off. David Koral, who owns a building
complex on Rutter Avenue in Forty
Fort, heard that I was contemplating
the idea of a gymfromNancy Medico,
who owns a salon in the complex. I fi-
nally decided to just do it. So I called
David, and opened the doors in Octo-
ber of 2010.
So what should people expect as
they walk through those doors and
arethinkingabout joiningyour gym?
The goal of the gymis to harness the
strength of body weight or to use the
bodyas amachine, insteadof focusing
on fitness machines. Fancy equipment
andfaddiets arenot neededwhenmo-
tivation to push limits and training
hardtakes over. We have core training,
sports performance training, interval
training and functional training. Peo-
ple of all ages currently exercise here,
ranging from14 to 60 years old.
What other jobs did you have
growing up? I worked some retail
jobs. I also worked in construction for
a bit and the trade industry with a tile
company.
After a hard days work, what
would be in the CDplayer? Jazz mu-
sic, like Sinatra or Michael Buble.
Favorite food and drink? Pizza
and a nutrient loaded smoothie.
What are some places you like to
get away to? I love going to Manhat-
tan or to my familys hunting cabin. I
also like to ski and have done so in As-
pen, Colo. Someday I wouldlovetovis-
it Italyandget atasteof thefood, wine

LANT CITY, Fla. When a roadside
bomb in Afghanistan shredded Ma-
rine Lance Cpl. Josh Weges legs in
2009, the former high school baseball
star wondered if he would even survive let
alone walk, run or play ball again.
But onarecent Saturdayafternoon, acrowdat

prosthetic legs to run out a triple finishing
withabelly-flopslideintothirdbase. HisWound-
ed Warrior Amputee Softball Team crushed an
all-star squad that included former pro and col-
lege players 23-8.

bunch of Army and Marine combat veterans,
most of whom rely on prosthetic limbs. Corpo-
ratesponsorshipshaveallowedtheteamtotravel
around the country playing local teams for char-
ity, amassing a 14-13 record going into a game
Sunday against a team of first responders in Or-
ange County, Calif. And their schedule is grow-
ing, with 75 games already booked for 2012.
All of the infielders are missing at least one of
their legs. Two of the outfielders use special car-
bon-fiber runninglegs, theones that looklikeup-
side-down question marks, for speed. One out-
fielder is missing a hand, and the right-fielder
plays without his entire left armand shoulder.
His name is Greg Reynolds, and after most
Wounded Warrior losses he challenges the
toughest dude on the other team to a push-ups
contest. He lets opponents use both arms, but
the 27-year-old Massachusetts native has only
lost once. Seventy is his record.
There is no better feeling than to get on the
field and have people think, You cant play, you

dier who survived a harrowing tour of duty in

inding a grave in the old Wilkes-
Barre City Cemetery isnt always
easy, but fortunately there are
helpful people in the community.
I am trying to locate the stone or
marker of Esther Minnig who is buried
in the Wilkes-Barre City Cemetery,
writes Sandie Miller of South Carolina.
I would like to obtain a picture of this
stone/marker. Can you guide me as to
who to contact for this request? This
was my Aunt.
Sandie, you have the section number
and burial permit for Esther, who died
at birth. So Im referring you to the City
Clerks Office, which maintains the
cemeterys map and records. Theyll be
glad to help you.
Additionally, the library of the North-
east Pennsylvania Genealogical Society
has a 1998 plot map of the cemetery,
and Ive given you their contact in-
formation.
So if you come here to take your
photo therell be no shortage of maps.
Just call ahead. If you cant get here, Id
suggest you try for a copy of the map to
be mailed to you and look for the grave
on it. Even if the exact location of the
grave still eludes you, one good step
would be to put all your information in
a post on the Luzerne County Genweb
and see if anyone can take the photo for
you. Ive seen that happen.
Library Update: The West Pittston
Library, badly damaged in the Septem-
ber flooding, has closed its temporary
location and will soon hold a grand
opening in its refurbished permanent
quarters on Exeter Avenue, The Pitt-
ston Sunday Dispatch reported recently.
Watch your Times Leader and Pittston
Sunday Dispatch for further informa-
tion. The library had been operating out
of temporary quarters in a shopping
center. Ive offered my genealogy class-
es at that library in recent years.
Resources: The Northeast Pennsylva-
nia Genealogical Society has located
two of the three volumes of The Histor-
ical Record that it needs for its project
of digitizing the entire series of the
local historical work. It still needs vol-
ume 12. The Historical Record is a
14-volume set of local historical materi-
al originally published in area newspa-
pers in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
Recently I learned that the Carnegie
Library in Pittsburgh has a complete
14-volume set of the publication. That
set, however, is non-circulating. The
few local copies of The Historical Re-
cord are deteriorating, which makes
digitizing vital.
Having concluded its long series of
researching in the various states, Fam-
ily Tree magazine is doing a series on
researching ancestors in Americas
major cities. Those articles could be
helpful. Many local people have ances-
tors who lived in the big cities of the
East Coast the ones where immi-
grants disembarked in the 1800s and
early 1900s.
News Notes:
Praise to the Luzerne County His-
torical Society, which recently sched-
uled a round table discussion of Polish
genealogy. Polish immigrants formed
one of the largest European groups to
come to the Wyoming Valley over the
years. Genealogists tracing Polish an-
cestors face some tough problems.
Poland has seen drastically shifting
borders over the years and for a time
did not even exist as an independent
nation.
The Historical Society will be
closed for the month of February.
Luzerne County continues to lag
behind some other Pennsylvania coun-
ties in establishing a records center,
although proposals surface from time to
time. Recently county council Chair-
man Jim Bobeck floated the idea of
moving some county offices to the
former Valley Crest Nursing Home in
Plains Township and perhaps including
some space there for records.

HARMONY SOCIETY
Second-grade students at Fairview Elementary School recently
participated in a robot-building project as part of their reading unit
on creative ideas. Students used their creativity to build robots
with a limited number of resources. They worked together in small
groups to construct their robot and then presented the robot to
the class. The entire activity was broadcast to parents at home.
Some of the students with their robot, from left, are Collin Acker-
man, Sam Balliet, Trey Twyman and Taylor Thomas.

Dallas Middle School celebrated Martin Luther King Jr. Day on
Jan. 16 by participating in a school-wide activity on the peaceful
protests encouraged and organized by Martin Luther King Jr. Each
grade level completed an activity based on one particular protest,
demonstration or campaign. The three different episodes of the
Civil Rights Movement studied were the Montgomery Bus Boycott,
completed by sixth-grade students; the Freedom Riders, completed
by seventh-grade students; and the Little Rock Nine, completed by
the eighth-grade students. The activity culminated in the creation
of recruitment posters which were displayed in the lobby of the
school. Working on their poster are Angela Bendick and C.J. Good.

Watch what I do.
They play slow-pitch softball,
but this is not your casual Thurs-
day night beer league. And the in-
your-face nature of their disabili-
ties doesnt inspire pity or sympa-
thy at least not after they start
punishing the ball, flying around
the bases and making highlight-
reel plays on the field. Finchs Fel-
lowship of Christian Athletes
team won the other two games
last weekend, including a 13-11
squeaker in the rubber match.
At Wounded Warrior games,
kids ask for their autographs,
women hug them and veterans
pump their hands in gratitude.

Coach David Van Sleet, who
worked in prosthetics for the mil-

team10 months ago and retired
in December to manage it full-
time. Hegot someplayers froma

The former solider fromSt. Louis
lost his right legbelowthe knee to

2006, two days before he was
scheduled to finish his tour and
come home. The former high
school baseball player said it took
hundreds of practice swings and
other physical therapy work to de-
velop his hitting again, but he fig-
ures hes nearly as fast onthe pros-
thetic as he was before.
Whenyouhave a disability like
this you have a feeling that youre
never going to be able to do com-
petitive sports again, said Urrue-
la, who is going to school in Tam-
pa. If you look at us, were just
about as good as any team that
plays as muchas we do, andwe do
that with missing limbs. But we
were ugly when we first started.
Itsjust atestament towhat kindof
rehabilitation this game gives to
us.

might not be able to do it at a level
that suited him. He got help and
encouragement from his sister, a

Tom Grace - Voice of the Penguins
WOW!!That is the word
I say when something great happens to the Penguins on
the ice; and it was my exact reaction when Dr. McGraw
performed his magic on my eyes. My job as Voice of the
Penguins requires me to see the action (and a tiny puck)
fromvery highupinthepress
box. Thanks to my fantastic
results, I now call the action
with better-than 20-20
vision, and I dont ever need
to deal with the hassles of
glasses or contacts. Thanks
for everything Dr. McGraw.
It is truly amazing how
strong my vision is because
of you!

B
efore he dreamed of playing in the
NFL, Ron Solt envisioned himself
coming out of Coughlin High
School more than 30 years ago to work in
a Miners Mills shoe factory.
Thats what most of my family did,
Solt said. I would never even consider
going to college, ever. My family didnt
have the money.
Then a young Coughlin assistant
coach at the time named Ted Jackson got
involved.
And Solts ambitions changed drasti-
cally.
You wouldnt believe what he did for
me, and the other kids, said Solt, an
offensive lineman who went on to play at
the University of Maryland and in the
NFL with the Indianapolis Colts and
Philadelphia Eagles.
He was an influential push for me to
go to school, Solt, long retired, contin-
ued of Jackson. I wouldnt have gone to
college if it wasnt for himand (then
Coughlin head coach) J.P. Meck.
I would be making shoes right now.
Not everyone Jackson has coached
made it as big as Solt did in the sport of
football.
But they all came together last week as
one big teamput together over four
decades, trying to produce a two-minute
rally for their coach.
Its not just a game on the line for
Jackson now, its his job.
Hes done it splendidly on the field for
the past 27 years as head coach at Dallas
High School, compiling a mesmerizing
227-83-2 career record. His Mountaineers
won a PIAAClass 2Astate title in1993
and are regulars in the District 2 playoffs,
suffering through just one losing season
under his watch.
Its the off-the-field stuff his bosses are
taking a harder look at.
The Dallas administration cited an
array of actions they termed unstable
that caused the schools board members
to open the head football coaching posi-
tion last month.
The Dallas administration already
bullied Jacksons son, Ted Jackson Jr.,
into resigning as the schools boys basket-
ball coach.
Nowthey want his father gone, too.
The Dallas board voted 8-1to open
Jacksons job in December. That vote
didnt change much when the board
reconvened to keep the search for a
coach open by a 5-3 vote after Jackson
was given a due process hearing Monday.
The whole process has Solt perplexed.
Teddy, of course, has a ton of wins,
Solt said. Do they realize this guy is
more of a benefit to the kids outside of
football? What he has done for the kids
will mean more to those kids 20 years
fromnow.
Theyll say, I wouldnt have this job if
it wasnt for coach Jackson.
Jackson tried to prove that during his
hearing, after parents of his past players
lauded himfor being a leader in the
direction of the lives of their kids.
One of my poor ratings was I didnt
get kids into college, Jackson testified,
after producing a list of 40 names hes
sent on to higher educations. Weve had
a great record of kids going on to college
national champs, Division II champs,
Division III champs.
My mission is to try to teach the
lessons of life that these kids will need
beyond football.
The Dallas board suggested -- through
two votes -- hes failing at that. Nobody
considered the roster of players facing an
ordeal like Solt, who needed Ted Jackson
for guidance.

MELBOURNE, Australia Victoria
Azarenka started celebrating, then sud-
denly did a double-take to ask her
coach, What happened?
The answer: She had just produced
one of the most lopsided Australian
Open final victories to capture a Grand
Slam title and the No. 1 ranking for the
first time.
Azarenka routed three-time Grand
Slam winner Maria Sharapova 6-3, 6-0
in1hour, 22 minutes on Saturday night,
winning 12 of the last 13 games after
dropping her first service game and fall-
ing behind 2-0.
Its a dream come true, she said. I
have been dreaming and working so
hard to win the Grand Slam, and being
No. 1 is pretty good bonus. Just the per-
fect ending and the perfect position to
be in.
Azarenka had won 11 straight match-
es, including a run to the Sydney Inter-
national title, and reached her first
GrandSlamfinal. Her previous best per-
formance at a major was a semifinal loss
to Petra Kvitova at Wimbledonlast year.
Sharapova had all the experience, being
in her sixth major final and having won
three dating to her 2004 Wimbledon
title.
But it didnt unnerve the 22-year-old
Azarenka, the first woman fromBelarus
towina singles major. Shes alsothe sev-
enth different woman to win a Grand
Slam since Francesca Schiavone won
the 2010 French Open, and the fifth dif-
ferent winner in as many majors.

an to earn the No. 1 spot after winning
her first major title. ShemovedfromNo.
3 to No. 1inthe rankings, helpedby Car-
oline Wozniackis loss in the quarterfi-
nals.

Mathews wore No. 21at Fresno

WILKES-BARRE Snapping a losing
skid doesnt have to be complicated. And
thats the approach the Kings mens basket-

The Monarchs are looking for some con-
sistency and some confidence after drop-

DeSales on Saturday at Scandlon Gymnasi-
um.
Basketballs not complex, Kings coach
J.P. Andrejko said. You dont have to be a
rocket scientist to play this game. I think the
majority of this game is played from the
shoulders up.
Confidence is sucha big thing, especially
with young kids. When
they have confidence, they
make big plays. And when
theyre not sure of them-
selves, then they hesitate.
On Saturday, it led to the
lowest scoring output of
the season for the Mon-
archs, who shot 33 percent from the field. It
was just the third time they were held under
60 points in 2011-12.
Keyton Winder and Donovan Womack
scored 10 apiece to lead the Monarchs.

ALEX GRANT
Defenseman
Alex Grant was going to choose the
top defenseman on his fantasy team to
be his top power play guy as well, until
another name came to mind. Turns out
either wouldve been a good choice. Like
many of his teammates, Grants fantasy
team has a few players from Pittsburgh
and a couple Detroit Red Wings. But he
also chose someone he grew up watch-
ing on Hockey Night in Canada to be his
power play specialist. I bet Grant would
choose Don Cherry as his top com-
mentator if there was such a spot on the
team.
For his all-time great, Grant waded
into the Mario Lemieux-Wayne Gretzky
debate and chose a side. He also gave a
nod to a player many feel is the best
defenseman of all time.
FORWARD Evgeni Malkin (Pitts-
burgh), Right now Im staying with the
organization. Theres no one better than
Malkin. The way hes playing is unbeliev-
able. You cant not take him. Hes on a
similar pace to what Crosby was doing
last year before he got hurt.
DEFENSEMAN Erik Karlsson (Otta-
wa), Hes got a load of points on the
power play.
GOALTENDER Jimmy Howard (De-
troit), Hes having a great year and just
got his 30th win.
POWER PLAY SPECIALIST Pavel
Datsyuk (Detroit), Id like to pick Erik
Karlsson again, but Datsyuk is obviously
a pretty good power play guy.
PENALTY KILL SPECIALIST Jar-
ret Stoll (Los Angeles), I used to watch
him a lot on Hockey Night in Canada
when he was with Edmonton.
SHOOTOUT SPECIALIST Todd
Bertuzzi (Detroit), He scores all the
time it seems.
ENFORCER Steve MacIntyre (with
Pittsburgh at time of interview), Hands
down. Hes an unbelievable guy when
hes down here. Never in a bad mood,
always happy and likes being around the
guys. Thats pretty special for a guy
whos always up and down.
AGITATOR/PEST Steve Ott (Dallas),
Hes a good two-way player and he
does whatever it takes to win. Gets the
top players off their game, annoying the
other players and other coaches. Seems
like someone you wouldnt want to play
against. He seems like a good team-
mate.
HEAD COACH Dan Bylsma (Pitts-
burgh), Hes shown he can win without
his top guns and his players respect him.
Hes pretty intense but has a lot of fun
doing what hes doing, thats the main
thing.
ALL-TIME GREAT Mario Lemieux
(Pittsburgh) and Bobby Orr (Boston,
Chicago), Ive gotten in some pretty
heated arguments with my buddies over
whos better, Lemieux or Gretzky. Who
knows what he couldve done if he didnt
have all his injuries. Hes a bigger player,
powerful who can score and pass. Id
also take Bobby Orr. Its hard not to pick
him, too.
FANTASY GM
The birth of the Wilkes-Barre/Scran-
ton Penguins began with a bang, com-
plete with a guy named Bonvie and
beer.
Maybe thats why the areas interest
in hockey kept flowing through all
these years.
Most of the people didnt even
understand what they were watching,
said Steve Barrouk, the former presi-
dent of the Wilkes-Barre Chamber of
Commerce who helped bring hockey
to Northeastern Pennsylvania. But
they were into it.
The Penguins celebrated their
1,000th game during a ceremony at
Mohegan Sun Arena last weekend, but
it all started with a hopping home
opener in 1999.
Thats the night hockey hammered
its point home to area fans.
Dennis Bonvie, the teams big name
and biggest enforcer that inaugural
season, began the excitement by assist-
ing Greg Crozier on the first-ever
home goal for the Wilkes-Barre/Scran-
ton Penguins 3:24 into the night.
Moments later, he was gone for the
night, accused by on-ice officials of
elbowing.
I got kicked out of the game, Bon-
vie remembers, still maintaining 13
years later the penalty was assessed
for a legal hit.
But the whole thing became an
instant hit in the sold-out stands.
The fans were booing, WBS Pen-
guins past president and current CEO
Jeff Barrett said.
It didnt take long to boost their
spirits, with three lasting memories.
Their Penguins beat the Kentucky
Thoroughblades, 4-2, that home open-
ing night.
It was our team. It was a regional
team, Barrouk, now semi-retired, said.
Bonvie returned to the ice in a dress
suit to chase down a Kentucky goon
after the game.
One of their tough guys was going
after one of our guys, remembers
Bonvie, who drew a suspension for
that action. So I went out there in a
suit. You couldnt do that.
And nobody seemed to want to obey
the rules that first night at home. A
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton fan first taunt-
ed, then dumped beer on a Kentucky
player before being removed from the
arena.
I was sitting with the AHL commis-
sioner, apologizing to him for how our
fans acted, Barrouk said. He said to
me, Are you kidding? This is going to
be a great hockey town.
Nobody could have envisioned itd
turn out that way, no matter what they
might say.
We knew it was going to be good,
Barrett said. No one knew it was
going to be this good.
How good?
After more than 1,000 games over
the past 13 seasons, the Penguins are
one of just two teams in the 30-mem-
ber AHL to remain affiliated with the
same parent franchise the Pittsburgh
Penguins and play in the same build-
ing over the stretch.
And theyre still drawing strong,
ranking fourth in the Eastern Confer-
ence attendance standings and 10th
overall in the AHL by averaging more
than 6,000 fans per game entering the
midseason All-Star break.
It feels so good being right, Bar-
rouk said.
Hes the one who made the major
push way back when to bring hockey
to a Northeastern Pennsylvania area
that was unfamiliar with the sport.
Even former state representative
Kevin Blaum, a democrat representing
Wilkes-Barre and Wilkes-Barre Twp. in
the 1990s, didnt immediately realize
what he was getting his constituency
into when he agreed to take up the
challenge to build an arena that would
play host to hockey.
When we were starting to do this, I
had never seen a hockey game, Blaum
said.
His first gander at the game hap-
pened during a trip to Binghamton to
watch what was then the top affiliate of
the New York Rangers play.
There was no question in my
mind, Blaum said, this is football on
ice.
But trying to sell that idea to the
public proved harder than cracking the
goal line against the New York Giants.
Remember Arena Yes or Arena No?
The question was posed to Luzerne
County taxpayers in the form of a
referendum that Blaum says drew the
areas highest voter turnout in the
mid-1990s. And the quest to build an
arena in Wilkes-Barre lost by 42 votes.
That didnt mean the leaders of this
mission were defeated.
They rallied behind backing from
Bob Casey, the Pennsylvania governor
at the time, with financial assistance
Wachovia Bank and with a hotel tax
that finalized the deal to build an are-
na.
Then they found a team to play in it
when the Pittsburgh Penguins were
looking to move their top minor league
affiliate out of the IHL at the time.
We took a chance, Barrett said.
The person who sold us was Kevin
Blaum. It wasnt a hard sell, once we
knew the building was going to be
built.
Then they all went about building a
sterling reputation for the Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton Penguins thats res-
onated throughout the league for more
than a decade.
I knew the reputation of the team
and the Penguins, and that it was a
great place to play and coach, said
John Hynes, the current head coach of
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton for the past
two seasons who first arrived as an
assistant with the team in 2009. One
of the things that makes Wilkes-Barre a
great place is the tradition and history
and culture thats here.
All of that has been cultivated from
the beginning.
I have some extended family who
live in the area who have been season
ticket holders since Day 1, said winger
Colin McDonald, Wilkes-Barre/Scran-
tons only All-Star this season. Its
pretty well-known throughout the
league how successful its been.
Bonvie can take some of the credit
for that.
His big hits as a tenacious checker
and on-ice brawler captivated Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton fans from the opening
night until the time he retired in 2009.
We didnt have a very good team
that first year, said Bonvie, now a pro
scout for the Chicago Blackhawks.
But we had an energetic team. The
style I played with was energy and
physical and scrappy. I think especially
people around here, hard-working
people, could follow and gravitate
toward that type of player. I was lucky
to have the job and be that person. I
certainly relished that role.
And as a result, it didnt take long for
Wilkes-Barre to cherish their AHL
Penguins.
I think I probably had a small part
to do with it, Bonvie continued of
Wilkes-Barre/Scrantons instant suc-
cess in the stands. You wanted to keep
it going and somehow keep building
on it and make it into a staple in the
area.
It has become a franchised fixed in
the hearts of Northeastern Pennsylva-
nia, remaining there through the mid-
dle of a 13th season.
Every time I walk into this place,
Barrouk said, its like the first time Im
walking in.
No wonder.
Because to an area that had never
met hockey, the first impression turn-
ed out to be the best.
The team was a dream that seemed to have no shot at reality

No. 2 Notre Dame beat St.
Johns 71-56 on Saturday for
the Fighting Irishs 18th
straight victory.
Devereaux Peters added 18
points, 15 rebounds, five blocks
and four steals for Notre Dame
(21-1, 8-0 Big East), which was
coming off a 28-point blowout
of No. 7 Tennessee on Monday
night.
Trailing 6-1 early on, Notre
Dame went on a 19-2 run to
take an early 12-point lead.
Diggins had the final eight
points of the run, including a
pretty floater down the lane
that made it 20-8 with 11:16 left
in the half.
St. Johns scored the next
eight points, including two
3-pointers by Tesia Harris, to
cut it to a four-point game.
Thats as close as the Red
Storm (13-8, 5-3) would get as
Notre Dame put it away with a
14-0 spurt.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.
Defense for the New York Giants
starts with the front four.
Stopping the run and forcing
the opposition into passing situa-
tions will let loose possibly the
best group of pass rushers in the
NFL. It was the formula the Gi-
ants used in 2008 in pounding
Tom Brady and stunning the pre-
viously unbeaten New England
Patriots inthe Super Bowl and
the game plan hasnt changed for
next weekends title game re-
match in Indianapolis.
The Giants (12-7) want Brady
on edge every time he passes.
Throw a ball. Expect to be hit.
Eventhe threat of beinghit might
be enough to influence a play.
And that just might be the differ-
ence with a ring at stake.
Look at 07. That was pretty
much the reason why we were in
the game, because we kept him
off-rhythm, defensive end and
captain Justin Tuck said. Obvi-
ously he is the main reason why
(they) are successful. The way to
kill the snake is to take off his
head. The way to kill an offense
as potent as that one is making
sure you take care of Brady. Our
defensive front will put a lot of
pressure on itself to make sure
that we do our best to get after
him.
The Giants finished tied for
third in the NFL in the regular
season with 48 sacks, including
11 in victories over the Jets and
Cowboys in winning the NFC
East title. They have added nine
more in their three playoff wins.
What makes the pass rush so
formidable is that its not only
four guys. The Giants line is
eight deep. All Pro Jason Pierre-
Paul led the team with 16
1
2 sacks
in his second season, while Osi
Umenyiora added nine in only
nine games. Tuck and backup de-
fensive end Dave Tollefson had
five apiece, Chris Canty added
four and fellow tackle Linval Jo-
seph had two. Theres also line-
backer Mathias Kiwanuka, who
had3
1
2 sacks playingas a lineman
in passing situations.
Defensive coordinator Perry
Fewell says not only does his line
get to the quarterback, they get
on each other. When the linemen
holdtheir meeting, its more than
a review of the game or practice
its trash-talking time.
We compete amongst each
other and if Justin gets a sack, I
want two, Pierre-Paul said. If I
want two, then Osi wants three.
Basically you can say that we are
greedy but in a good way, to help
our team out. We try to get there
quick enough to help our second-
ary cover better and try to get to
the quarterback as fast as we
can.
Kiwanuka said the presence of
so many pass rushers pushes ev-
eryone.
We have a number of guys,
you look at the roster, Dave Tol-
lefson is a guy who came on and
had a strong year and played very
well, Kiwanuka said. From top
to bottom, in that room, we have
guys who could be starting on
other teams. Were just not fight-
ing for sacks. We are fighting for
playing time as well. Everybody
wants to be the guy but at the end
of the day, its about the win and
thats what also is important.
Brady knows what to expect.
In the Giants 17-14 Super Bowl
win in Arizona, he absorbed five
sacks and was hit nine times, al-
though the Giants insist the hit
total was a lot higher.
They can rush the passer.
Theres no doubt about that,
Brady said. In playing them be-
fore, you understand that they
canthey strippedsackedus on
our own 10-yard line or some-
thing like that when we played
them last. They get a lot of turn-
overs.

Past Super Bowl
winning quarterbacks
Eli Manning and
Tom Brady meet for
the second time in the
big game.
How the two
players and their
teams match up
this time:
The idea didnt seem so outlandish at the
time. Not for a city about to open a spanking
new $720 million stadium, and surely not for
a team with Peyton Manning under center.
Hosting a Super Bowl would put Indi-
anapolis on the map, sure. Give residents
something to do, too, like talk to those peo-
ple with the funny accents from New York or
ride the new zip lines downtown.
But couldnt Colts fans dream of the day
when their team became the first home team
to play in the big game?
They could, and they did. It wasnt the
biggest stretch, either, because the Colts had
already won a Super Bowl behind Manning
and were coming off a 13-3 regular season
when the game was awarded to Indianapolis
in the spring of 2008.
Then Manning got hurt. And the Colts
went south in less time than it takes to com-
plete a warmup lap at the Speedway.
Now, on the eve of what was supposed to
be a glorious week in Indianapolis, the home
team is a dysfunctional mess.
A joint statement issued Friday by Man-
ning and Colts owner Jim Irsay claimed
otherwise, though that was to be expected.
The dirty laundry aired publicly the previous
few days was so distasteful that something
had to be said to get the attention off the
home team and back on a game that means
so much to the citys pride.
The self-styled great protector of the
horseshoe himself that would be Irsay
says it was all a misunderstanding. Surely
not anything that a good talk between
friends or, say, a payment of $28 million
couldnt resolve.
Manning got the talk. Whether he gets the
check will ultimately determine just how
friendly the owner and his quarterback really
are.
The Colts seem ready to move on without
the face of their franchise, a player so valua-
ble that they may not have been able to build
their new stadium without him. Manning
transformed a woeful franchise into a peren-
nial playoff contender, taking the Colts to
two Super Bowls and winning one. The
prospect of even better times ahead helped
Indianapolis residents swallow the increased
taxes they were forced to pony up for the
new stadium, which opened in 2008.
The NFL gave the city a Super Bowl as a
reward, something that seems to have boost-
ed civic pride even if few area residents will
actually get inside the Lucas Oil Stadium for
the event. As an added bonus, it gave Colts
fans a chance to forget about a 2-14 season
that was doomed the moment the first ru-
mors about Mannings health began circulat-
ing during the summer.
But Irsay couldnt stop firing people. Man-
ning couldnt keep his mouth shut.
And instead of happy chatter about the
Super Bowl coming to town, the buzz in
Indy has been a definite downer.
Theres a Manning playing in the Super
Bowl, but its the wrong one. And the chanc-
es of Peyton Manning still recovering
from three neck surgeries playing another
down for the Colts seem to be about as good
as the chances Indianapolis ever lands anoth-
er Super Bowl.
Irsay already sacked much of the front
office and the coaching staff, something that
clearly upset Manning. Hes in the midst of
rebuilding the Colts, and has to be looking at
Luck as the new face of the franchise, much
like Manning was when the Colts picked him
No. 1 in the 1998 draft.
That it came down to the owner and the
star player sniping at each other this week
was perhaps inevitable. Decision time is
coming, and its becoming increasingly clear
what that decision has to be.
Wrong Manning

FOXBOROUGH, Mass.
Try to shove massive Vince Wil-
fork out of the middle. Tough to
do, isnt it?
The325-poundProBowl tack-
le keeps sticking around.
Wilfork is the only defensive
starter left from the New En-
gland Patriots last Super Bowl
team four years ago. This sea-
son, hesrarelycomeoff thefield.
Andwhy shouldhe?
Hes earned all that playing
time by crunching runners,
charging quarterbacks and clog-
ging holes that offensive line-
menstruggle to open.
Hes been huge, coach Bill
Belichick said. Vince has had a
great year for us. Hes had obvi-
ously a great career, had an out-
standing year last year, but this
yearitsevengoneastephigher.
Now he has a chance to reach
the top inone climactic game.
Wilfork, as usual, will beinthe
center of the action at the Super
Bowl against the New York Gi-
ants onFeb. 5.
I dont care howmany Super
Bowls youvebeentoor won. Ev-
ery chance (you) get to play at
this level is the biggest game of
yourcareer,hesaid, butitsstill
afootball gameandtheyregoing
to have to line up between the
lines andplay.
I thinkthe more we canfocus
onthat endandjust block every-
thing else out the better well be
as a team. But its no question in
my mind, these guys will do
that.
The leadership and inspira-
tion Wilfork provides as a cap-
tainwithhis hard-hittingplay
asmuchashissoft voicepush-
es teammates to compete de-
spite season-long criticism of
their defense that allowed the
secondmost yards intheregular
season.
But runners who challenge
theheart of that defenseencoun-
ter Wilforks wide body.
He is definitely hard to
move, Giants running back
Brandon Jacobs said. He is
strong and he is quick for his
size. You cant (figure out) one
way where he is going to this or
heis goingtothat. Heis not one-
dimensional. He makes it really
hardfor peopletofigureout how
they are going to block him.
In the 23-20 win over Balti-
more in the AFC championship
game, Wilfork had one sack and
six tackles, including a stop of
Ray Rice for a 3-yard loss that
might have pushed the Ravens
outof field-goal rangewithabout
3 minutes left.
Wilfork has been primarily a
nose tackle since being drafted
outof Miami withthe21stpickin
2004. But this season he also
linedupat endandtackleina4-3
alignment. And he has devel-
opedinto anevery-downplayer.
You rarely see a defensive li-
neman playing 90 percent of the
snaps, linebacker Jerod Mayo
said. Hes one of those guys, I
dont want to say his weight on
camera, but hes a big guy, you
can all see that. Thats very im-
pressive inits ownright.
So are his imitations of fleet,
180-poundcornerbacks.
Wilfork, athletic and fast de-
spitehissize, hadthefirst twoin-
terceptions of his career in the
first four games this season. He
rambled36yardswiththefirst to
set upafieldgoal onthelast play
before halftime of a 35-21 win
over SanDiego. Twoweeks later
hegrabbedanother pass, return-
ing it 19 yards inthe fourthquar-
ter of a 31-19 winover Oakland.
Legendary, Belichick called
those picks.
A linemans dream, Wilfork
said. Too bad it wasnt a touch-
down, but I ended up falling on
one inWashington.
Oh, yeah, there was that fum-
ble recovery in the end zone for
his first career touchdown in a
34-27 winover the Redskins.
Somehow, Wilfork seems to
be in the middle of the action,
even when hes not expected to
be.
Sometimes I make plays that
are noticeable and sometimes I
dont, he said. I dont get a
bunch of sacks. I dont have any
sack dance or any dance youcan
remember me by but, trust me, I
do play hard.

INDIANAPOLIS Amix of union mem-
bers and Occupy protesters from across In-
diana marched through Super Bowl Village
on Saturday in opposition to the states pro-
posed right-to-work legislation.
About 75 marchers weaved through
packed crowds at the pre-game street fair in
downtown Indianapolis in the first of what
couldbeseveral suchprotests beforethebig
game Feb. 5 at Lucas Oil Stadium. The pro-
testers chanted Occupy the Super Bowl
and carried signs that read Fight the Lie
and Workers United Will Prevail.
Saturday was the second straight day of
right-to-work protests in the Super Bowl
Village. About 40 people picketed the open-
ing of a zip line in the Village. The 800-foot
zip line allows participants to clip onto a
wire about 100 feet off the ground and glide
almost two blocks.
Most onlookers stared in silence as the
protesters walked past them, but some like
Jason Leibowitz of Jamestown were upset
about their outing being interrupted.
Theres a place and a time for this, Lei-
bowitz said. This isnt it.
Organizers say the protests will likely
continue if Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels
signs the divisive bill into law this week.
Supporters of the legislation, mostly Re-
publicans, insist the measure helps create a
pro-business climate that attracts employ-
ers and increases jobs. Opponents say the
measure only leads to lower wages and
poorer quality jobs.
Before Saturdays march, Occupy Purdue
organizer Tithi Bhattacharya, a professor at
Purdue University, led a rally in front of the
statehouse that included union workers,
Occupy protesters, two representatives and
a state senator among the speakers.
Most emphasized that while the right-to-
work legislation appears likely to pass fol-
lowing Wednesdays approving House vote,
that doesnt mean an end to protests.
If the governor signs, I want to shame
himout of this state, saidHeathHensley of
Occupy Anderson. He doesnt want us
screwing up this Super Bowl.
The Super Bowl between the New York
Giants and NewEngland Patriots is expect-
ed to drawmore than150,000 visitors to In-
dianapolis.
Upsetting the Super Bowl I couldnt
care less, protester Lou Feldman of La-
fayette said. This is about my life and my
family. Maybe it will make some people no-
tice.
Protests mar Indy festivities
Political uprisings try to upstage the
biggest event in sports as Indiana
considers right-to-work legislation.

the first half and went into the
locker room trailing 28-18.
Andrejko was pleased with his
teams defensive effort, but the
offense never got into much of a
rhythm in the second half as the
Bulldogs (11-8, 4-4) pulled away.
Offensively, we hit a couple
shots early and then we go flat.
It just gets magnified, Andrejko
said. When youre not scoring, it
gets magnified. At some point,
youve got to make a few shots
here and there and youll be all
right.
The Monarchs coach pointed
to a few missed layups midway
throughthe first half that allowed
DeSales to turn a four-point lead
into a 10-point edge at the break.
The Bulldogs led by as many as
19 in the second half.
Im not going to sit here and
harbor and beat them up over
this because that doesnt change
it, Andrejko said. I think this is
a good group of kids and theres a
lot of talent in that room.

Lady Monarchs survive
The game started with a line of
seven minutes, eight shots and
nine turnovers for DeSales.
Kings had shut out the Bulldogs
for the first 9:14, but the four-time
defending league champs were
not going away.
The Bulldogs twice pulled
within a point in the second half
before the Lady Monarchs kept
their winning streak alive with a
45-40 victory on Saturday at
Scandlon Gymnasium
For Kings (16-3), it was a ninth
straight win to cap off a perfect
8-0 January. It was remaining un-
beaten in Freedom Conference
play at 8-0 with six games left.
And it was a season sweep of De-
Sales.
But it was not easy.
Weve played so many single-
digit games that the circum-
stance doesnt bother us, Kings
coach Brian Donoghue said. I
think the fact that we put our-
selves in that spot probably both-
ers us more.
But I think once were in that
circumstance, our decision-mak-
ing is pretty good.
Both teams shot under 30 per-
cent for the game. They com-
bined to go 2-for-30 from behind
the arc.
DeSales (10-9, 5-3) didnt get
on the board until hitting a free
throw at the 10:46 mark. The
Bulldogs first successful shot
from the field didnt come until
7:54 left in the first half after
starting 0-for-13.
Still, the halftime lead was just
25-15 for the Lady Monarchs, and
even that evaporated midway
through the second half. The
Bulldogs pulled precariously
close at 34-33, but Kings never
surrendered the lead
One of the biggest differences
came on the boards, where the
Lady Monarchs pulled down 26
offensive rebounds. Kings fin-
ishedwitha 51-40edge intotal re-

Katlin Michaels was the only
Kings player in double figures
with 10 points, adding nine re-
bounds. Freshman Marissa Man-
ning had nine points and 12
boards.

WVW clinches tie for title
Wyoming Valley West se-
cured at least a tie for the
Wyoming Valley Conference
Division I championship on
Friday night as it closed out its
divisional schedule with a 49-21
victory over Berwick. The title
is the first for the Spartans (5-1
DALLAS If there was any
doubt about which team was
the second strongest in Divi-
sion II of the Wyoming Valley
Conference, Dallas put to that
to rest on Saturday night.
The Mountaineers won the
first four matches of the dual
against Wyoming Area to jump
out to a 22-point lead and
scored bonus points in all eight
bout victories to cruise to a
49-21 win over the up-and-
coming Warriors.
Dallas ends its league regular
season with a 5-1 divisional
record and the lone loss coming
by one point to unbeaten Lake-
Lehman. The Mountaineers
will likely be the conferences
No. 2 seed for the upcoming
District 2 Class 2A Duals Tour-
nament.
Were getting geared for
district duals next weekend and
this is a big step for us now,
Dallas coach Mike Richards
said. Our focus now is district
duals.
One of the biggest wins of
the night for Dallas came by
160-pound sophomore Connor
Martinez, who pinned Nick
OBrien in 3:07. Martinez has
had trouble cracking the lineup,
but now has come through
during consecutive duals after
grabbing a major decision earli-
er in the week against Lake-
Lehman.
Weve got a bunch of guys
that arent starting Logan
Brace and Connor who have
done a great job filling in for
us, Richards noted. Those are
the kind of kids you need in
your wrestling room. Thats
what having numbers does for
you.
Martinezs win was the last
bout of the evening and capped
off a five-pin performance by
Dallas. Bill Dixon (170 pounds),
Ryan Kozloski (182) and Ryan
Monk (220) recorded three pins
in the first four matches, and in
between Kozloski and Monk
came a major decision from
Garrett Artsma at 195 as Dallas
staked a 22-0 lead.
The other fall for the Moun-
taineers was by 126-pound
sophomore Eric Young.
The Warriors were dealt just
their second setback of the
division schedule to fall to 3-2
with their final meet Wednes-
day against the unbeaten Black
Knights. On Saturday, however
the closest they got was with 16
after Carl Zielinski picked up a
pin at 285 to cut Dallas lead to
22-6. Wyoming Area got within
17 at 38-21 with four wins out of
five lower-middle weight bouts,
but they couldnt overcome the
big deficit.
Carm Mauriello (decision,
120), Shaun OMalley (fall,
132), Nick Heck (sudden victo-
ry decision, 138) and Andy
Schutz (decision, 145) picked
up the victories. The only two
blemishes on the Warriors
division record could have gone
in their favor if a few breaks
went their way.
The guys that are buying in
100 percent, it really shows on
the mat, said first-year War-
riors coach Steve Mytych.
Theyre finding ways to win.
Theyre listening to me. The
guys that arent winning, I feel
like theyre not listening. All
they have to do is listen to me
and (assistant coach) Joe (Ro-
velli) and good things will hap-
pen to those guys.
Despite the loss, Wyoming
Area should still be in good
position to grab a wild card slot
for district duals for the first
time since 2010.
My goal was to make district
duals as a team and hopefully
the committee selects us in and
we get in. I think thats a big
stepping stone just getting
there, Mytych noted. And
then next year try to do bigger
things and kind of keep up-
grading every year to bigger
and better goals until we reach
the ultimate goal to be state
champs.

ACC takes down Royals 63-44
The Times Leader staff
The loss drops the Penguins to
26-13-2-4 and shrinks their divi-
sion lead to one point over Her-
shey headed into the All-Star
break. The loss also snaps the
Penguins nine-game win streak
on the road.
Despite a solid start with goals
fromBen Street and a power play
tally by Geoff Walker in the first
seven minutes, the Penguins al-
lowed the Senators to get back in-
to the game in a big way.
First, Binghamtons Corey
Locke connected at the midway
point of the opening period to cut
the Penguins lead to 2-1.
During a six-goal second peri-
od, Binghamtonopenedthingsup
by scoring three goals in the first
10 minutes to take a 4-2 lead. Pen-
guins penaltytroubleledtotwoof
the three Binghamton goals.
Head coach John Hynes said
his team strayed away from their
game after gaining the early two-
goal lead.
It includes penalties, puck
management, physicality and at-
tention to detail, he said. When
we got up 2-0, we had too many
guys that got away from how we
need to play.
It wouldnt be the last time in
the period that a penalty haunted
the Penguins.
The Penguins battled back
when Bryan Lerg scored on a
tough-angle backhander at 13:12
to make it 4-3.
Two minutes later, the Pen-
guins struck again. With the play
deep in the Binghamton end, Ja-
son Williams redirected a loose
puck with his skate to Eric Tan-
gradi, who glided into the left
faceoff circle and lined up a wris-
ter that went over the shoulder of
Senators goaltender Mike
McKenna to even things up, 4-4.
The tie was short-lived when
Binghamtons David Dziurzynski
was hooked from behind on a
breakaway attempt in the last
minute.
Dziurzynski was awarded a
penalty shot, and he made good
on the chance with a wrist shot to
the wide side of Brad Thiessen to
give the Senators a 5-4 lead at the
end of the period.
Its tough when they get a pen-
alty shot with 30 seconds left, but
we were still positive in the
room, Lerg said. We knew we
still had a chance to win the
game.
Scott Munroe replaced Thies-
sen to start the third period, but
Senators picked up where they
left off, finding the net two more
times to put the Penguins down
by three, erasingtheir chances for
a comeback.
On the night the Penguins pen-
alty kill allowed three power play
goals on seven chances, and the
Senators found the net seven
times on just 21shots.
Thats not the recipe for suc-
cess against a team like this,
Hynes said. The biggest differ-
enceinthegamewaswhenwegot
up 2-0 and we didnt stick to what
we need to do. It gave themlife.

ST. MORITZ, Switzerland
The United States team of Nic-
cum Christian and Jayson Terdi-
man finished sixth in the mens
doubles luge World Cup event
Saturday.
The races got underway in St.
Moritz at very slow speed and
raced into nearby Celerina-Cres-
ta. The course is completely built
by hand each season, making the
run slightly different fromyear to
year.
"It was one of the coolest atmo-
spheres Ive ever had to race in,"
said Terdiman, a Berwick native,
to usaluge.org. "I felt like I was in
someones back yard going sled-
ding."
The reason is the construction
of the course, which is in the
ground with white walls sur-
rounding the athletes, as op-
posed to artificial tracks that are
iced over, refrigerated structures
of concrete and rebar.
Austrian brothers Andreas and
Wolfgang Linger won the mens
doubles luge before Germanys
Tatjana Huefner won the wom-
ens race, and Saturdays winners
lead the overall standings.

SCRANTON -- The Dayton
Air Strikers poured in 62
points in a little more than 16
minutes at the end of the
game Saturday afternoon to
rally from 15 down and defeat
the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
Steamers, 114-108, in a Pre-
mier Basketball League game
at the Lackawanna College
Student Union.
"We didnt play defense,"
Steamers general manager
and co-coach John Bucci said.
"We choose when to play de-
fense."
The Steamers (3-3) ap-
peared to be on their way to a
fourth straight victory when
they ran off 11 straight points
in a span of 63 seconds for a
67-52 lead in the third quar-
ter.
"It seemed like we were on
a roll," said Rob Robinson,
who scored 23 points and
grabbed 23 rebounds for the
Steamers. "Then our offense
went south and we let our of-
fense affect our defense.
"It went downhill from
there."
The Air Strikers began get-
ting to the rim with authority.
Former Penn State center
Brandon Hassell jammed
home an alley-oop pass, Bran-
don Perry dunked on the fast-
break and Hassell fired home
a rebound in one motion,
turning a potential routine
tip-in into a thunderous dunk.
It was a move Hassell re-
peated in the second half.
"Mainly, it was our blocking
out," Bucci said. "Hassell had
what five put-back dunks?"
Dayton also nailed three-
pointers and picked apart the
Steamers with one of the
games basic plays.
"They killed us on the pick-
and-roll," Robinson said.
"Our pick-and-roll defense
has to get better."
The Air Strikers still need-
ed five points by Avery Smith
to end the third quarter just
to get within 75-70.
The 18-8 burst in the final
4:17 of the third quarter was
just the start.
Dayton continued with an-
other 17-5 advantage over the
first four minutes on the way
to a 44-point effort in the
fourth quarter.
Smith was just 1-for-12 be-
fore nailing a three-pointer
with a second left in the third
quarter. He wound up making
five of his last seven shots, in-
cluding going 3-for-5 on
three-pointers.
Russ scored 16 of his game-
high 27 points in the fourth
quarter and Smith had 13 of
his 20.
Smith also had nine assists.
Hassell finished with 13

WHY
WE WANT COACH JACKSON & HIS COACHING STAFF AT DALLAS!
COACH JACKSON IS INDEED DALLAS FOOTBALL!
WHY
WHY
WHY
HOW
does a Head Coach for 27 seasons with one losing season and a 227-79-3
record re-apply for a job he should never have lost?
are the Administrators being so deceitful and ruining an entire football
dynasty?
can the smallest fraction of critics have enough inuence, on the right
people, to rid a man of a job he held for the past 27 years?
does a school board ignore and vote against the 350 plus members of the
taxpayers community who crammed into an elementary school cafeteria
to demonstrate (again) their support for a great football coach and man?
were the players not heard when asked to retain their coach?
Speak to your School Directors who voted NOT to rescind their decision to retain
Coach Jackson Sr. as Head Coach at Dallas High School.
Catherine Wega, Larry Schuler, Karen Kyle, Charles Preece and Maureen Matiska all
voted NOT to retain Coach Jackson.
Thank you Bruce Goeringer, Dr. Richard Coslett and Fred Parry for realizing what a
great coach Dallas Football has, and voting to retain Coach Jackson.
Colleen Slocum did not vote due to her absence.

to win every major North Amer-
ican and international champion-
ship while enjoying an18-year ca-
reer in the NHL.
Scott Niedermayer.
Niedermayer played in 1,263
NHLgames andwonfour Stanley
Cups before he retired at the end
of the 2009-10 season. A defense-
man, Niedermayer won the Nor-
ris Trophy in 2003-04 and the
ConnSmythe Trophy in2007. He
won three Stanley Cups with the
New Jersey Devils and another
with the Anaheim Ducks.
In addition, Niedermayer also
won gold medals in the Olympics
(twice), World Championships,
World Cup and World Junior
Championships, along with play-
ing in six NHL All-Star games.
Today, Niedermayer works for
Anaheimhelping out withthe de-
fensemen during practice or trav-
eling to watch the organizations
prospects play for Syracuse.
And, despite a lengthy career
that almost certainly will lead to
the Hockey Hall of Fame, Nieder-
mayer admits that he misses life
as a player.
At times I do, he said. I
didnt thinkIdever play that long
and I was fortunate. It was a
tough decision to retire, but Im
also enjoying where Im at now.
That includes watching his
sons play sports in school, spend-
ing time with his family and rais-
ing awareness for a cause that
Niedermayer has been passion-
ate about for years the environ-
ment.
Niedermayer currently serves
as the Freshwater Ambassador
for the World Wildlife Federa-
tion, a positionthat allows himto
stress the importance of clean
water and the threat of global
warming.
Im not educated in environ-
mental science but its different
fromwhat Ivebeendoingthelast
20 years of my life, Niedermayer
said. I enjoy it.
His love of the environment
was instilled at an early age while
growing up in Cranbrook, British
Columbia. Frequent fishing and
hiking trips with his parents
taught Niedermayer to appre-
ciate the natural beauty around
his hometown and the impor-
tance of protecting such places.
His hockey career took him
awayfromCranbrookfor muchof
the year, but he always returned
each summer with a renewed ap-
preciation for the clean air and
water that could be found in the
wild areas of British Columbia.
Just being able to dip your wa-
ter bottle in a creek and drink
from it, you cant do that in most
places, Niedermayer said. I
grew up doing those things and I
realized theres not a lot of places
like that left on the planet.
His years in the NHL took him
all over North America and Nie-
dermayer grewfond of other nat-
ural areas as well. When he
played with New Jersey, Nieder-
mayer would frequently spend
his days off driving through Ver-
mont. While playing with Ana-
heim, Niedermayer fell in love
with the Sierra Nevada mountain
range in California.
Were fortunate theres a lot of
amazing places in this world and
I feel its important to hold onto
them, he said.
While Niedermayers love of
the outdoors began during his
childhood, his career as a pro
hockey player further empha-
sized the importance of a clean
environment.
As an athlete how you treat
yourself translates into perform-
ing well. That was always impor-
tant tomeandit ties intohavinga
healthy environment and clean
water, Niedermayer said. My
childhood and my time as a pro-
fessional athlete are two of the
reasons why I care about a clean,
healthy environment so much. I
appreciated it while growing up
and its something I continue to
care about.

is 23, even though he also wore
45. Jerry Rices No. 80 San Fran-
cisco 49ers jersey is a classic.
Besides serving as a players
brand, numbers often carry a sto-
ry behind it and can represent
something theyve carried since
childhood, the number of a play-
er they admired or simply a spe-
cial number. Or it could mean
nothing at all.
Its my first year wearing 24
and I made it to the Pro Bowl,
said Joseph, who switched from
22 when he left the Cincinnati
Bengals after five seasons and
joined the Texans.
I wouldnt say its my lucky
number, but its working for me.
Bailey, on the other hand, is
makinghis11thProBowl andhas
worn 24 since joining the NFL13
years ago. He wore No. 4 at Ge-
orgia. Bailey acknowledges hav-
ing so many 24s may create some
confusion with fans, but not with
the coaches or players.
We all know each other and
were all going to represent the
number real well, he said.
At Fridays practice on the
grounds of the players hotel at
the KoOlina Resort, Revis played
the left side while Bailey was on
the right.
Revis said there are some simi-
larities between the 24s.
All of us are great at what we
do and thats play great football,
he said.
While some are selective about
their numbers, Owens was will-
ing to take whatever he could get
after playing his collegiate ball as
No. 33 at Maine.
I noticed all the 24s out here,
but for me, it wasnt even the
number I selected at Jackson-
ville. It was given to me, he said.
I was a guy who came out un-
drafted and so when you come
out undrafted, you better take
any number they give you.
For the NFC, there are four 21s.
Cardinals rookie cornerback
Patrick Peterson wore No. 7 at

face. She got up, held her hands
upandjoggedover toher coach,
Sam Sumyk, in the stands to
celebrate.
The best feeling, for sure,
Azarenka said. I dont know
about the game. I dont know
what I was doing out there. Its
just pure joy what happened. I
cant believe its over.
And she paid special credit to
her grandmother, the person
who inspires me the most in my
life.
Azarenka has been a distinc-
tive presence at Melbourne
Park as much for her shrieks
and hoots with each shot and
seemingly boundless energy as
for her white shorts, blue sin-
glet and lime green head and
wrist bands.
Against Sharapova, she main-
tained the frenetic movement
that has been the hallmark of
her performance in Australia,
her 25thconsecutive major. She
won the Sydney International
title last weekend and is on a12-
match winning streak the
first player since 2004 to win a
WTA tour event the week be-
fore winning a major.
She did everything better
than I did today. I had a good
first couple of games, and that
was about it, Sharapova said.
Then she was the one that was
taking the first ball and hitting
it deep and aggressive. I was al-
ways the one running around
likearabbit, youknow, tryingto
play catch-up all the time.
Sharapova also won only
three games in a 2007 final loss
to Serena Williams, who also
conceded only three games in
the 2009 final to Dinara Safina.
When Sharapova won the
first twogames, there was noin-
dication of how lopsided the
match would be. Azarenka took
control after holding for the
first time, breaking Sharapova
at love and then holding again
on a three-game roll.
Sharapova held, finishing off
with an ace, to level the score at
3-3 in the first set but then
didnt win another game.
Azarenka started dictating
the points, coming to the net at
times, hitting winners from the
baseline and forcing the 24-
year-old Russian to the ex-
tremes on both sides of the
court. Sharapovaseemedbarely
able to move by comparison,
and had 30 unforced errors.
The second set was com-
pletely lopsided and lasted only
36 minutes, with Sharapova
winning only 12 points.
As in any sport, you have
your good days, you have your
tough days and you have days
where things just dont work
out, said Sharapova, who has
now been on the losing end of
two of the most lopsided score-
lines in a final at Melbourne
Park.
In the mens doubles final,

ABU DHABI, United Arab
Emirates Tiger Woods put
himself in position to win
his second straight tourna-
ment Saturday, and this one
would leave little doubt
about which
direction his
game is go-
ing.
He finally
won two
months ago
against an
18-man field
in California.
On Saturday, against the
strongest field golf has seen
in at least three months,
Woods shot a 6-under 66 for
a share of the lead with Rob-
ert Rock going into the final
round of the Abu Dhabi Golf
Championship.
Woods has a 55-8 record
worldwide when he has at
least a share of the lead go-
ing into the final round, and
a win would be the first time
since August 2009 that he
has won consecutive starts.
There wasnt a lot of fist-
pumping from Woods, who
traded drama for consis-
tency, racking up six birdies
in a bogey-free round. It was
a memorable performance by
the American, mostly for his
ability to hit fairways, tame
the par 5s and sink clutch
putts including a 6-footer
for birdie on the final hole.
Woods finished at 11-under
205. Rock, at No. 117 in the
world, birdied his final two
holes for a 66 to join Woods
in the last group along with
Peter Hanson, who had a 64
and was two shots behind.
Also two back at 9-under
207 were Rory McIlroy, who
played with Woods for the
third straight day and had a
68, Francesco Molinari (66)
and Paul Lawrie (68).
Farmers Insurance Open
SAN DIEGO Kyle Stan-
ley overpowered Torrey
Pines to open a five-shot
lead in the Farmers Insur-
ance Open.
About the only regret for
Stanley was missing a 4-foot
birdie putt on the 18th hole
that would have broken the
54-hole tournament record
set by Tiger Woods in 1998,
before Rees Jones beefed up
the South Course for the
2008 U.S. Open. Stanley still
managed a 4-under 68, a
spot alongside Woods in the
record book at 18-under 198
and great position for his
first victory.
The performance looked
familiar, even if the name
didnt.
Woods, playing this week
in Abu Dhabi, is a seven-
time winner at Torrey Pines
as a pro, including that U.S.
Open. He used his length on
the South Course, especially
on the par 5s, and holed his
share of putts.
Thats been the recipe for
Stanley, who has a slight
build and enormous speed.
He build a three-shot lead
with a birdie on the second
hole and was never really
challenged on another glori-
ous days along the Pacific
bluffs. His lone bogey came
on the 12th, when he went
just over the green, chipped
to 6 feet and missed the
putt. On the 526-yard 13th
hole, he blasted a tee shot
so far down the hill that
Stanley had only a soft 7-
iron into the green, putting
it 15 feet below the hole on
the fringe for a two-putt
birdie.
John Huh, a 21-year-old
rookie who spent three years
on the Korean Tour, and
John Rollins each had 68 and
were at 13-under 203. FedEx
Cup champion Bill Haas (70)
and Bae (72) were another
shot behind.

Supermancape andZdeno Cha-
ras blistering hot slap shot
wasnt enough to beat Daniel
Alfredsson and his team
stocked with hometown favor-
ites in the NHL All-Star skills
competition Saturday night.
Team Alfredsson beat Team
Chara 21-12, easily clinchingthe
victory in the final-round shoo-
tout challenge. Alfredsson had
one of his teams 10 shootout
goals in outscoring Chara 10-3.
That was enough to get the
hometown crowd on its feet,
cheering on a Senators-stocked
team that Alfredsson selected
in the draft Thursday night.
Charadidbreakhis ownskills
competition record for hardest
shot with a blast at 108.8 mph.
That bettered the mark of 105.9
he set in Raleigh last year.
The two teams will now face
off Sunday in the All-Star game.
Chara gave his teama shot
literally and physically by
helping his team to a 3-2 win in
the fifth round of the competi-
tion, cutting Alfredssons lead
to 11-9.
I tried to do my best. Obvi-
ously I wantedto do it over here
as well. I hadgreat years inOtta-
wa and Imhappy I could do it,
Chara said in an interview
broadcast over the video score-
board, which drewplenty of ap-
plause. Chara spent four sea-
sons with the Senators before
signing withthe Bruins in2006.
All four Charas shot actually
bettered the record he set last
year as well as his closest oppo-
nent, TeamAlfredsson defense-
man Shea Weber, whose best
was timed at 106 mph.
Entertaining as the competi-
tion was for the soldout house,
it was competingwithtroubling
news regardingSidneyCrosbys
status shortlyafter theevent be-
gan. The Penguins announced
that Crosby had a neck injury,
which had fully healed, in addi-
tionto a concussionafter he vis-
ited a doctor in California.

PHILADELPHIA Andre
Iguodala recorded the eighth
triple-double of his career with
10 points, 10 assists and 10 re-
bounds, and the Philadelphia
76ers won their second straight
game with a 95-74 victory over
the struggling Detroit Pistons
on Saturday night.
Iguodala, who turned 28 on
Saturday, received a nice ova-
tion from the crowd when he
secured his triple-double with a
defensive rebound with 7:34
remaining.
Lou Williams scored 17
points, Elton Brand added 14
and Jrue Holiday had 13 for the
Sixers, who improved to 14-6
and 10-2 at home. They are 3-1
on this seven-game homestand,
which gets markedly tougher
next week with visits from the
Orlando Magic on Monday,
Chicago Bulls on Wednesday
and Miami Heat on Friday.
The Sixers have been a strong
second-half team this season,
and this game was no different.
They came out of halftime with
a quick 8-2 run highlighted
by 3-pointers from Iguodala and
Jodie Meeks and extended
their lead to 50-33.
Detroit never got closer than
nine the rest of the game.
The Pistons received a boost
with the return of forward
Tayshaun Prince, who had mis-
sed the previous two games
tending to a family matter.
Prince finished with just six
points. The short-handed Pis-
tons were still without injured
guards Will Bynum and Ben
Gordon, as well as forward
Charlie Villanueva.
The missing pieces were
noticeable as the Pistons strug-
gled mightily on offense in the
first half with 31 points, their
second-fewest in any half this
season. Maybe it was a carryov-
er from Fridays 107-101 over-
time loss to the Atlanta Hawks
in which the Pistons relin-
quished a six-point lead in the
final 54 seconds of regulation.
One night later, they trailed
Philadelphia 42-31 at halftime.
Detroit wasnt much sharper
in the second half and fell to
4-17 with four straight losses
and eight of nine.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. JaVale
McGee scored 22 points and
had 10 rebounds as the Washing-
ton Wizards defeated the Char-
lotte Bobcats for the second
time in a week.
The matchup between two
teams tied for the fewest wins in
the NBA came down to the final
shot, but Matt Carrolls 3-point
attempt at the buzzer fell short.
McGee had a chance to seal
the game with less than 6 sec-
onds to go, but missed two foul
shots. But that was about all
McGee didnt do right, as shot 9
of 14 from the field. Like many
others this season, McGee ex-
posed Charlottes poor interior
defense, using an effective hook
shot in the lane.

OUTDOORS
I
ts a vast, pristine place.
Totaling114,494 acres, Loyalsock
State Forest is home to some of the
most breath-taking natural beauty inthe
Endless Mountains. Its tracts are located
inBradford, SullivanandWyoming coun-
ties, andthe Loyalsock Creek flows
throughits center.
But Loyalsock State Forest, as well as
others across Pennsylvania, are at risk.
As Gov. TomCorbett prepares the
state budget, there is concernthat he
may allowadditional leasing of state
forest landfor natural gas drilling. Ap-
proximately 700,000 of the 2.2 million
acres of state forest landhas already been
leased.
OnThursday, more than40 sports-
mens groups representing100,000-plus
hunters, anglers andoutdoor enthusiasts
sent a letter to Corbett asking that he not
allowany more state forest landto be
leasedfor oil andgas development.
KenUndercoffer, president of the
Pennsylvania Council of Trout Unlimit-
ed, saidif the acreage is leased, it could
jeopardize not only the state forest sys-
tem, but our natural resources -- as well
as Pennsylvanias strong hunting and
fishing heritage -- for a short termgain.
Hes right.
There are simply some places that
simply shouldnt be touchedby industry.
We simply dont needto openup every
acre of public landto gas drilling simply
because there is money to be made.
Sucha move not only puts state forests
at risk, it also poses a threat to anecono-
my basedonoutdoor recreation.
Hunting andfishing are big business
inPennsylvania eachyear, more than
$4.3 billionis generatedfromfishing,
hunting andwildlife-relatedrecreation
muchof whichoccurs inpublic forests.
State forests are hugely valuable to Penn-
sylvania. andwe needto do what we can
to preserve themfor the next gener-
ation, saidDonRobertson, president of
the Pennsylvania divisionof the Izaak
WaltonLeague.
The Department of Conservationand
Natural Resources, whichmanages the
state forest system, highlightedthe risk
ina 2010 study that foundleasing addi-
tional acreage wouldsignificantly impact
the character andegological integrity of
state forests. That finding ledto former
Gov. EdRendell placing a banonaddi-
tional leasing of state forest land.
Its a banthat shouldstick.
Industry andthe environment rarely
go hand-in-hand. Its like mixing water
andoil, no punintended.
Sure, there have beeninstances where
gas drilling has beenconductedwithout
major harm, that we knowof, but there
have beenplenty of nightmares as well.
The environmental recordof the Mar-
cellus Shale industry is questionable at
best, partly due to a lack of oversight
fromthe Department of Environmental
Protection. Making the matter evenmore
disturbing is Corbetts dismissal of the
executive director of DCNRs Citizens
Advisory Couuncil a move that may
further reduce public oversight if gas
drilling is expandedinstate forests.
There is enoughlandfor the Marcellus
Shale industry to lease without having to
encroachfurther into state forests.
Last August, Corbett took a kayak trip
downthe Susquehanna River, paddling
throughthe heart of gas drilling boomin
Wyoming County. At a press conference
during the trip, Corbett remarkedonthe
natural beauty of the region.
Now, he has a chance to help protect it.
Corbett also spoke about the impor-
tance of Pennsylvanias natural resources
to attracting tourismandboosting local
economies.
That tourismwill wane if the vast
tracts of state forest landare dottedwith
gas well pads.
Lets hope that Corbetts kayaking trip
left a strong enoughimpressionso he
doesnt remove the drilling banonstate
forest land.

The Pennsylvania Game Commission is look-
ing into the possibility of changing the size of
some Wildlife Management Units throughout
the state.
During the agencys board meeting last week,
commissioners asked PGC staff to review the
boundary lines of three WMUs in particular
2B, 2G and 3D in the northeast. Commissioner
Jay Delaney, who represents District 7 in north-
eastern Pennsylvania, requested that WMU 3D
be examined because of an apparent difference
in habitat and deer numbers within the unit.
WMU 3D includes all of Monroe and Pike coun-
ties, and parts of Carbon, Lackawanna, Luzerne,
Northampton and Wayne counties.
In the western half of 3D there seems to be a
huge issue with forest health and the amount of
deer. In the eastern part, the reports I get in-
dicate the forest health and deer numbers are
better, Delaney said.
The PGCs Bureau of Wildlife Management
and Bureau of Wildlife Habitat Management will
conduct the review of all WMUs. The agency
uses WMUs to manage all wildlife and set antler-
less allocations along with seasons and bag lim-
its.
Delaney said the bureaus will report their find-
ings at the June meeting.
The agency reviews WMU boundaries every
few years. Several years ago, the boundary line
between WMUs 3B and 3C was changed from
Route 6 to the Susquehanna River.
Delaney said some WMUs may need more
than minor adjustments.
I have long felt soome of these WMUs are too
big, he said. I understand that we should never
go back to the county system because our biol-
ogists need larger data banks to formulate man-
agement decisions, but some WMUs are too
big.
Topping the list is WMU 2G in the central and
northern regions. It encompasses all or part of
eight counties and speakers at PGC meetings
have long said the size of the unit doesnt reflect
the habitat differences.
Theres a possibility some of the WMUs could
be changed, Delaney said.
We need to take a hard look at some of them,
and Im pleased that the review will be state-
wide.

United Sportsmen Coyote Hunt Results
More than 150 hunters participated in last week-
ends annual coyote hunt, held by the Huntington
Mills United Sportsmen. Snowfall made for prime
conditions and hunters bagged 15 coyotes. The top
prize for heaviest coyote went to Mike Wagner of
Shickshinny, who harvested a female coyote in Lu-
zerne County that weighed 43.03 pounds. Brad Corby
of Monroe Township took second place with a 41.12-
pound coyote also taken in Luzerne County. The
prize for the smallest coyote went to Randy Sprague
of Tunkhannock, who took a 30-pound female in
Wyoming County.
Overall, nine coyotes were taken in Luzerne Coun-
ty, followed by three in Wyoming County, two in
Lycoming County and one in Columbia County.
Walter Dam Water Releases Set
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will hold 24
whitewater and fisheries releases at the Francis E.
Walter Dam in White Haven this year.
Planned dates for releases are:
May 12, 26, 27; June 9, 10, 23, 24; July 7, 8, 21, 22,
28, 29; August 4, 5, 11, 12, 18, 19, 25, 26; September 1,
2, 14 (if sufficient water is available).
Fisheries releases through Oct. 14 will be assured
before the Sept. 14 release will be considered. The
Sept. 14 (Friday) release is planned for a maximum of
4000 cubic feet per second (cfs). Ramping down from
that release rate will be accomplished over the follow-
ing weekend (Sept. 15-16) depending on the amount
of water available. Releases during that weekend are
expected to be comparable to the release rate of other
whitewater release weekends.
All other dates during the recreation season,
through Oct. 14 will have a fisheries augmentation
release of at least 50 cfs if sufficient water is available.
OUTDOOR NOTES
The Game Commission approved an agreement
with Alpha Natural Resources (Alpha) to market
natural methane gas from an existing underground
mine vent borehole from under a portion of State
Game Land 223 in Greene County.
Alpha drilled the borehole for the purpose of
venting gas into the atmosphere to protect under-
ground coal mine workers. Alpha has the right to
drill boreholes under mining regulations for the
safety of miners.
Alpha will pay the Game Commission a 12.5
percent royalty of the wellhead price per MCF of
gas produced and sold from the existing vent
borehole. All royalty proceeds shall be deposited
into the Game Fund.
In other business (all preliminary motions must
receive final approval at the April meeting):
The board gave preliminary approval to add
fall turkey to the Mentored Youth Hunting Pro-
gram. Currently, antlered deer, antlerless deer
(with the transfer of an antlerless license from the
adult mentor), coyotes, groundhogs, squirrels and
spring gobbler are eligible for the mentored youth
program.
The Board of Game Commissioners gave
preliminary approval to a slate of deer seasons for
2012-13 that retains the split, five-day antlered
deer season (Nov. 26-30) and seven-day concur-
rent season (Dec. 1-8) in 11 Wildlife Management
Units. The list includes WMUs 2A, 2C, 2D, 2E, 2F,
2G, 3B, 3C, 4B, 4D and 4E. The package also re-
tains the two-week (Nov. 26-Dec. 8) concurrent,
antlered and antlerless deer season in WMUs 1A,
1B, 2B, 3A, 3D, 4A, 4C, 5A, 5B, 5C and 5D.
Hunters with DMAP antlerless deer permits
may use them on the lands for which they were
issued during any established deer season, and
will continue to be permitted to harvest antlerless
deer from Nov. 26-Dec. 8 in WMUs 2A, 2C, 2D, 2E,
2F, 2G, 3B, 3C, 4B, 4D and 4E. Fees for DMAP
permits are $10 for residents and $35 for nonresi-
dents.
The board also gave preliminary approval to
retain the use of crossbows in the archery deer
seasons. The Board took this action by removing
the sunset date inserted in the regulations when
crossbows were first permitted to be used in the
archery deer seasons.
A concurrent bear/deer season was proposed
to be held Nov. 26-Dec. 1 in WMUs 3A, 3C and
parts of 3B.
The board gave preliminary approval to a
regulatory change to expand the 15-foot trap place-
ment restriction near beaver dams and lodges
across the state, which will simplify regulations
and help protect juvenile beavers in the colony.
This change would impact beaver trapping in
WMUs 3B, 3C, and 3D, where trappers previously
did not have to abide by this restriction.
Commissioner Ralph A. Martone of Lawrence
County was elected board president.

PITTSBURGH Please dont
feed the elk.
That message doesnt come
froma Rocky Mountainstate, but
from Pennsylvania, where elk
have come roaring back from
near extinction. The wildlife suc-
cess story has brought a surge of
tourists but also some grumbles
from locals who say the huge
beasts gobble crops, tear up
lawns, and are sometimes too
much of a good thing.
Theyre just a nuisance. We
get a lot of people that like to
view them, which is good for the
businesses. On the other hand,
traffic is unbearable, said Lisa
Anderson, who lives near one of
the prime viewing areas in Elk
County, about 100 miles north-
east of Pittsburgh.
And forget about keeping a
nice lawn with a herd of elk near-
by.
When you live in the area and
you have a herd of 20 to 30 elk,
and your yard isnt frozen, just
think what your yard looks like,
Anderson said, referring to how
the animals, which can reach
1,000 pounds, can tear up grass
just by their presence.
Pennsylvanias wildelk popula-
tion went extinct in the late
1800s, and small numbers of
western elk were reintroduced in
the early 1900s. The herd has
grown fromroughly 65 in1971to
about 800 today, according to the
state Game Commission.
Thats the largest herd of wild
elk east of the Mississippi, ac-
cording to the county.
Chris Rosenberg, head of the
Deer andElksectionat the Game
Commission, credits a manage-
ment planthat createdhabitat for
the elk, and ongoing efforts to
monitor and better understand
the herds biology.
Now, an animal that hunters
have prized for centuries has
grown into a tourist attraction.
The Elk County Visitor Center
has attracted more than 200,000
people since it opened in late
2010, said Ron Alcorn, vice presi-
dent of the Keystone Elk Country
Alliance, a conservation group.
Thats a lot of visitors for out
there in the middle of nowhere,
Alcorn said, adding that people
have come from all 50 states and
33 foreign countries. They visit
the 8,400-square-foot visitor cen-
ter, which has large viewing ar-
eas, wildlife trails and a theater
and is set on 245 acres of land.
The state contributed half of the
$12 millioncost, withthe remain-
der from private donations.
But not everyone has benefit-
ed. The animals can cause signif-
icant damage, one farmer said.
They cost us a lot of money
over the years, said Clearfield
County farmer John Sankey, 82,
whose extended family works a
half-dozen farms. We have elk
damage on every one.
I like to eat the meat, but we
cant eat em all, he said of the
herd, which will munch corn as
soon as it gets knee-high.
Enforcing a ban on feeding the
elk is part of the plan, as is hunt-
ing, aimedat keepingthe elkpop-
ulation in check.
In 2009, the state issued 60 elk
hunting licenses from a lottery
that received just over 19,000 ap-
plications, and 44 animals were
harvested. Hunters have long
sought the animals, which were
known as wapiti to Native Amer-
icans.
Looking back, Alcorn said he
and other Alliance members are
proud of all the elk program has
accomplished. What began as an
835-square-mile elkmanagement
area is now 3,750 square miles,
with signs the herd is expanding
beyond that.
It started about 15 years ago. I
didnt even know there were elk
in Pennsylvania at that point, he
said. Its just good to be part of
all of this.
Elk population a sign of plans success
By KEVIN BEGOS
Associated Press Writer
DON CAREY FILE PHOTO/THE TIMES LEADER
A bull elk checks the air for the scent of females on Winslow Hill
in Benezette.
Local hunters could get an extended
chance to harvest black bears in Wild-
life Management Unit 5C, which in-
cludes nearly all of Northampton and
Lehigh counties among other areas, un-
der a proposal discussed at the winter
meeting of the Pennsylvania Game
Commissions board of commissioners
late last week.
"Pennsylvanias black bear popula-
tion is larger and more widely distrib-
uted than ever, and bear-human inci-
dents are becoming commonplace, es-
pecially in more developed areas," Carl
G. Roe, Game Commission executive
director, announced following the
meeting. "Continued expansion of resi-
dential development into areas occu-
piedby blackbears has resultedinmore
frequent sightings and encounters be-
tween people and bears. WMUs 1A, 2B,
5B and 5D have been included in the
proposal."
If approved, hunters in WMU5C will
be allowed to harvest black bears dur-
ing all deer seasons from September
through early December, as well as dur-
ing the statewide bear seasons.
The PGCs information director, Jer-
ry Feaser, said during a recent radio
broadcast that proposal would allow a
hunter who has a valid bear license to
participate in an archery bear season
from Sept. 29 until Nov. 10, during a
muzzleloader bear season fromOct. 13-
20 anda firearms bear seasonfromNov.
26 to Dec. 8.
Of course, the season limit is one
bear per hunter.
The board also proposed retaining
the statewide archery bear season, four-
day general firearms bear season and
extended seasons in all or portions of
certain WMUs.
Roe added, "In WMUs 1A, 2B, 5B, 5C
and 5D, all with relatively high human
population densities, there currently
are lowbear densities. The Game Com-
mission wants to continue to have a
minimum number of bears, and the
agency wants hunters to have an oppor-
tunity to play an important role in bear
population management in these ur-
ban/suburban areas."
The slate of 2012 bear seasons, which
must be given final approval in April be-
fore taking effect, includes a statewide
five-day archery bear season (Nov. 12-
16); a four-day statewide bear season
that will open on Saturday, Nov. 17, and
then continue on Nov. 19-21; and a con-
current bear/deer season in WMUs 3D,
4C, 4D and 4E from Nov. 28-Dec. 1.
Youth for turkey
Another proposal before the PGCis a
plan for fall turkey seasons in 2012 for
youth participating in the Mentored
Youth Hunting Program.
The agency reports, if it is approved
at its April meeting, mentors will be
able to transfer one fall turkey tag to a
mentored youth if that child harvests a
fall turkey.
The fall season dates for 2012 are
Oct. 27-Nov. 10 and Nov. 22-24 for
WMUs 1A, 1B, 2A, 2C, 2D, 2E, 4A, 4B
and 4D; and Oct. 27-Nov. 16 and Nov.
22-24 for WMUs 2B, 2F, 2G, 3A, 3B, 3C,
3D, 4C and 4E.
Also, fall season dates of Oct. 30-Nov.
1were set for WMU5A, and WMUs 5B,
5C and 5D will remain closed for the
fall seasons.
If approved in April, fall turkey would
be added to the list of eligible species
that Mentored Youth Hunting Program
permit holders could pursue. The pre-
sent list of legal species for the MYHP
are antlered deer; antlerless deer, with
the transfer of an antlerless deer license
from the adult mentor; coyotes;
groundhogs; squirrels and spring gob-
bler.
WMUs may offer
extended bear hunts
By BOB MARCHIO
Hanover Evening Sun
TRENTON, N.J. New Jersey envi-
ronmental officials have shut down the
states river herring fishery.
The Press of Atlantic City reports
that the decision made late last week
came in part because the state doesnt
have the necessary personnel or fund-
ing to collect the data it needs to prove
the fishery is sustainable.
The ruling means the herring
which are often used in the bait busi-
ness can no longer be caught with
nets and then sold.
It also bars recreational anglers from
targeting the herring and, if they hap-
pen to catch one, must immediately
throw it back.
And commercial fishermen who
work offshore and land river herring in
federal waters as an accidental by-catch
of squid, mackerel and Atlantic herring
operations cannot sell the river herring
in New Jersey.
The newspaper reported that State
Department of Environmental Protec-
tionCommissioner BobMartinordered
the closure on Thursday. That came af-
ter the state failed to meet a deadline
from the Atlantic States Marine Fisher-
ies Commission to prove the fishery
was sustainable.
Officials say New Jersey was one of
several states that didnt meet the dead-
line.
Brandon Muffley, who leads the
states Bureau of Marine Fisheries, said
the river herringfishery may be sustain-
able, but officials dont have the staff to
prove it.
"Thats a big part of it. We dont have
the data," Muffley said. "We dont know
what river herrings abundance is or
what our fisheries are taking. We
havent had the resources to do the
work."
In recent years, proponents of a salt-
water fishing fee have claimed it was
needed as a way to raise funds for this
type of research. But the state decided
insteadto create a saltwater fishing reg-
istry with no fee.
"If a whole pile of money and if biol-
ogists fell into our laps tomorrow, it
wouldstill take some time to collect the
data," Muffley said.

et ready for the roller coaster
ride. Chesapeake Energys
announcement that it would
reduce natural gas drilling in
Northeastern Pennsylvania by 30
percent is the first of what likely
will be many zigs and zags for the
local economy, as energy producers
gear up or down depending on pric-
es.
Chesapeake acknowledged that it
was looking out for shareholder
value in cutting production, partic-
ularly in dry gas fields like those
in counties to our north. Thats
poorly disguised code for not being
able to make money on gas while
the price is low about half what it
was a year ago. Thats great for
consumers, but not for producers
and those holding their stock.
How did this happen? The law
of supply and demand, said Steve
Forde, a spokesman for the industry
trade group Marcellus Shale Coali-
tion. But not entirely, he hinted.
The ongoing uncertainty sur-
rounding local authority over zon-
ing and the unsettled question of
what, if any, tax or fee the drillers
will pay, has weighed on many of
the companies decision making.
Funny, Chesapeake didnt men-
tion either of those factors. It sim-
ply said some drilling had become
unprofitable. Thats understandable
given the headlong rush to lease
land and punch holes in the ground
the last few years, with accompany-
ing promises of ever-expanding
employment and lifting of the jack-
boot of dependence on foreign oil
from Americas neck.
The companys two-pronged reac-
tion to a glut cutting back here
while shifting resources to wet
gas regions where they extract
other saleable products like ethane
along with natural gas has a dou-
ble benefit, for them.
First, the price of natural gas
immediately rose on the prospect of
lower supply. And that made their
stock prices jump, as investors fore-
saw them turning on the tap when
prices rebounded sufficiently.
For Pennsylvanians, theres no
such opportunity. Gov. Tom Cor-
betts stubborn insistence that the
industry get a free pass from paying
a tax on the gas it removes means
an absence of funds to fight the
deleterious effects of drilling and
its associated activities, or to help
communities ride out the inevitable
economic ups and downs in an en-
ergy producing area.
Thats not the companies fault,
its a failure of government. The
pullback by Chesapeake and other
drillers shows that market forces,
not a justifiable tax, will determine
how much of an economic force
natural gas production will be here.
Fortunately, while Northeastern
Pennsylvania is a dry gas zone, its
also close to major metropolitan
East Coast markets. The reduced
transportation cost compared to
Southwest fields means our gas is
worth drilling at a lower price.
Thats apparently why Chesapeake
cut back drilling here by half as
much as in Texas and Arkansas.
Forde said its important to note
that now theres this underlying
infrastructure of transportation
networks, pipelines and other sup-
port for the drilling industry in
Northeastern Pennsylvania. That,
he said, will insure the industry
will remain productive for years to
come.
He may be right, but we
shouldnt forget that under the
present conditions, the drillers will
call the tune and the rest of us will
have to figure out how to march to
it.

ITS THAT stressful
time of year for
many. The credit
card bills are coming
in from all that holi-
day spending; the
weather causes
tricky travel; people seem to suffer
from seasonal depression thanks to
the dark winter days; and the econo-
my isnt doing much to help our
anxieties.
The Psychological Services Center
at Marywood University might be a
place you should visit on Thursday.
The center will be holding a free
Anxiety Screening Day from 10
a.m. to 6 p.m. at the McGowen Cen-
ter on the colleges Scranton cam-
pus.
The center will be administering
confidential screenings that include
an educational presentation, a writ-
ten self-test, a private meeting with
a mental health professional and a
referral, if appropriate.
Amanda Surace, doctoral student
and co-organizer of the event, says
the Psychological Services Center
has been offering this service for
more than 12 years, providing confi-
dential and anonymous anxiety
screenings to individuals of all ages.
Anxiety is very common, Surace
said. Often, people do not know
where to go to get help, so this is an
opportunity for people to get help.
According to survey research pub-
lished by the American Psycholog-
ical Association, 22 percent of
American adults reported an ex-
treme level of stress in 2011. Com-
mon signs of anxiety are excessive
and uncontrollable worrying, feel-
ings of panic or nervousness, diffi-
culty concentrating and difficulty
sleeping.

riday was the last day of work for 69 employees of Offset Paperback Manufacturers in
Dallas, one of the Back Mountains largest employers. In announcing layoffs two
weeks ago, the mass market printer and bookbinder blamed technology, particularly
the rising popularity of e-readers, for reducing demand for paperback books . Another
old-world industry going the way of the dinosaur in the digital age, it seemed.
But the areas printing industry
isnt dead, or dying. Dozens of com-
mercial printers still call Luzerne
County home and are hanging on by
adapting to improving technology
and changing market demands.
Shaun Daney, vice president of
sales for PaynePrinteryinDallas, one
of the regions largest commercial
printers, said much of the competi-
tion fromtechnology that hurt Offset
hasnt been an issue for commercial
printers.
Technology like the Nook or the
Kindle, those things have really hurt
the book publishers but they havent
hurt us as much, Daney said.
Increased use of computers, in-
house printing and the Internet have
had an impact, but Daney said that
blow landed years ago.
I think that the impact that the In-
ternet was going to have on the com-
mercial print industry has occurred
already, Daney said. I dont think
our industry will see the Internet af-
fecting it further in years to come.
Digital printing technology has
posed new challenges, but it has also
helped local printers stay in business.
Daney said Offset faces interna-
tional competition, particularly from
China, because the nature of book
publishing, with orders typically
placed months in advance, allows it.
Most of our customers need their
work done very quickly, because our
clients cant wait weeks, Daney said.
Technology has not only helped
streamline the process, but has also
helped companies like us stay in busi-
ness.
Michael Blasi Sr., owner of Blasi
Printing Corp. in Hanover Township,
saiddigital printingcuts hours off the
time it takes to complete a job,
though traditional presses are still
cheaper for larger orders.
But those extra hours became
down time for workers.
In the 90s everyone went out and
bought all this heavy duty equipment
speed, Blasi said. So youre able
to do more but you have a lot of time
and youve got to fill that time. Speed
starting created a lot of down time,
and that created a lot of competition
out there.
Though necessary, digital presses
also are very expensive, especially for

Todd Dagres, a prominent venture
capitalist and independent movie pro-
ducer, earned $3.5 million in 2003 and
paid not a cent in federal income tax.
The IRS challenged the math and sent
Dagres a bill for $981,980 in back taxes,
plus $196,369 in penalties.
Dagres lawyered up. His attorneys
waivedone lucrative tax break to exploit
an even better one and claimed victory
in the case in March.
Inthe course of the dispute, Dagres of-
fered five years of his tax returns as evi-
dence in U.S. Tax Court. His testimony,
tax forms and other documents offer a
rare glimpse of how wealthy Americans
work the angles to keep frompaying tax-
es.
Dagres earned $58.5 million over
those five years ranking him among
the richest 0.1 percent of Americans.
During that stretch, the statutory rate
for taxpayers in his in-
come bracket was as
high as 39.6 percent.
But because of anarray
of tax breaks, Dagres
paid 20 percent on his
total income.
Dagres, 51, is not
alone. Although Amer-
ican working families
earning less than
$100,000 pay, on aver-
age, about 35 percent
of their taxable income
in payroll and income
taxes, their wealthier
counterparts those
who earn more than $1
million a year pay
less than 30 percent.
The trend has grown
pronounced in recent years, especially
for the very, very rich who, like Dagres,
earnmost of their incomefrominvesting
and can exploit the low rates on capital
gains. The average tax rate for the 400
wealthiest Americans was 29.3 percent
in 1993 but dropped to 18.1 percent in
2008, according to the latest IRS statis-
tics.
During that time, the combined taxa-
ble income of the top 400 soared from
$16.3billionto$91billion. Therichest10
percent of Americans now control 70
percent of the countrys wealth.
In an era of rising income inequality,
mammoth budget deficits and proposed
cuts in defense and federal assistance
programs, the taxes paid by rich folks
such as Dagres are a topic of national de-
bate. Dagres didnot respondtorepeated
requests for comment.
At the heart of the Dagres case is a $2
billion-a-year wrinkle in the tax code
known as the carried interest tax
break, the same one that allowed Repub-
lican presidential candidate Mitt Rom-
ney to pay an effective federal tax rate of
13.9 percent in 2010. It permits wealthy
hedge fund operators, venture capital-
ists and other private-equity managers
to treat their pay, for tax purposes, as a
return on an investment instead of as a
salary.
By doing so, they pay taxes at the 15
percent capital gains rate instead of the

Q: My boss recently moved
my desk so that I would be far-
ther away from my co-worker,
Tamara. Tamaras annoying
behavior causes me to react,
and our conflicts have been get-
ting progressively worse. Ive
tried ignoring her and killing
her with kindness, but nothing
seems to help.
Imworriedabout myupcom-
ing performance review, be-
cause I knowI have not handled
this situation well. But I cant
find a way to stop Tamaras un-
professional behavior. Our boss
recently said that this problem
will be eliminated within the
next month, so now Im afraid
that one of us may be terminat-
ed. What should I do?
A: Since your own conduct
hardly sounds professional,
your complaints about Tamara
seem rather ironic. The funda-
mental error in your thinking is
that her aggravating habits
cause you to react, which
makes you sound like a puppet
with no control over your ac-
tions. In fact, Tamara can only
push your buttons if you allow
her to do so.
Although you cant change
Tamaras personality, you can
certainlychangethewayyoure-
spond to her. Instead of snub-
bing her or faking friendship,
you should simply behave like a
pleasant and helpful colleague.
Try to remember that your ac-
tions do not have to reflect your
feelings.
To avert career disaster, you
also need to have an apologetic
chat with your boss as quickly
as possible. If you can convince
him that you intend to end this
disruptive conflict, you may si-
multaneously save your job and
impress him with your maturi-
ty.
Q: Six months ago, I started a
contract job with a small soft-
ware group. The lead developer
is a control freak who has taken
over some of the tasks listed in
my contract. He also has a cold
personality, so I have trouble
getting along with him.
I talked with the lead devel-
oper about his attitude towards
me, but nothing changed. Next,
I went to the manager of our
group and explained that this
guy was taking part of my job.
When that didnt help, I took
my problem to the managers
boss.
Nowthe lead developer is be-
ing given work that clearly
should be mine, so I feel that
management is siding with
him. How do I keep them from
reducing my responsibilities?
A: You are either very young
or very naive. Anyone with an
ounce of political savvy would
realize that an established em-
ployee in a leadership role has
much more influence than a
newly hired contract worker.
Complaining about him is
therefore quite likely to back-
fire.
You also seem confused
about what it means tobe a con-
tractor. The term contract em-
ployee typically refers to pay-
roll status. The description of
your assignment is simplya gui-
deline and does not confer a
contractual right to perform
certain tasks.
The best way to get desirable
projects is to impress the lead
developer with your compe-
tence and cooperative spirit.
Since contract employees have
minimal jobsecurity, youwould
be wise to start building rela-
tionships instead of destroying
them.

RALEIGH, N.C. In an in-
creasingly digital world, your
next glass of wine could come at
the tap of an iPad.
Restaurants are increasingly
turning to high-tech gadgets to
offer everything from food and
wine pairings to wireless order-
ing systems. Theyre hoping the
investment will pay off as the
technology attracts young cus-
tomers and ups the ante for cus-
tomer experience.
CholaNad, a Chapel Hill, N.C.,
restaurant, arms its wait staff
withiPods andiPads totakefood
orders.
Guests who need help decid-
ing what to eat can browse pho-
tos of the dishes on the device to
supplement the waiters descrip-
tions. When theyre ready to or-
der, the iPods point-of-sale sys-
temapplication wirelessly sends
the customer order to the kitch-
en free of illegible handwrit-
ing.
Subash Panneerseluam, Cho-
laNads chef, said the systemnot
only reduces the chances of
wrong orders but also makes the
restaurant greener through re-
duced paper and food waste. He
paid the retail price for his two
iPads and 10 iPod Touches, plus
$2,000 for the software license.
He expects to recover the cost
through reduced expenses on
pens and paper.
Hudson Riehle, senior vice
president of research for the Na-
tional Restaurant Association,
saidthepressuretoimproveprof-
it margins in an industry sensi-
tivetotheeconomycouldbefuel-
ingthetransitiontodigital. Some
convenience stores, including
the Sheetz chain of gas stations,
have already crossed over to the
technology through systems like
ordering kiosks.
Youll definitely see more
technology usage in restaurants
in the years ahead, Riehle said.
Quick service has been histori-
cally the technology leader, but
table service is now following
closely behind.

plicationsfor restaurantslooking

sentation. The company has cre-
ated interactive wine and cock-
tail lists and pairings and is ex-
panding its menu application.
About 25 restaurants and chains

Jack Serfass, Hospitality So-
cials CEO, said interactive fea-
tures ultimately enhance the
guests experience, which can
lead to repeat sales for a restau-
rant.
If youhave a choice of a paper
menu in a dark restaurant thats
hard to read and an interactive

to be much better with an inter-
active menu, Serfass said.

35 percent rate on ordinary in-
come.
The capital in the private-equi-
ty market where managers
raise funds to buy or invest in
new and existing businesses
soared from roughly $5 billion to
$1 trillion between 1980 and
2003. At the same time, thou-
sands of new hedge funds pri-
vate entities using complex trad-
ing strategies sprang into ex-
istence, managinganother $1tril-
lion.
On Wall Street, firms increas-
ingly focused on the creation,
sale and trading of complex fi-
nancial products. Bonuses and
other compensation soared
the average almost doubling that
of the nonfinancial sectors in the
U.S. economy.
As a venture capitalist, Dagres
fulfilled a classic economic pur-
pose, raising money from inves-
tors to bankroll entrepreneurs
and incubate new firms. The re-
wards could be spectacular: In
2000, Dagres earned $44 million
while a partner in a Boston ven-
ture capital firm, Battery Ven-
tures. Dagres compensation
plan was typical of private-equity
firms. He actedas a general part-
ner. He would work his sources,
spot an opportunity, conduct re-
search and solicit money from
wealthy clients, who came to-
gether as limited partners in a
venture he managed and admin-
istered. Battery collected man-
agement fees, big enough to give
Dagres a multimillion-dollar sal-
ary, but the big payoff came if the
investment succeeded. Then
Dagres and his firmwould get 20
percent the carry or carried
interest of the profits.
The treatment of carried inter-
est is a legacy of 20th-century
partnership law, crafted with
small businesses in mind in the
years beforethefinancial services
industry became a behemoth. To-
day, it represents a loss of tax rev-
enue. Closingthe carriedinterest
loophole would yield $20 billion
during the next decade.
Defenders of the carried inter-
est tax break say that the work of
hedge-fund managers and other
investment managers, in raising
andallocatingcapital, makes a vi-
tal contribution to the American
economy. But critics of the loop-
hole ask why a fund manager
should be given the same lowtax
rate as an investor, who shoul-
ders the risk of losing money and
puts up the actual cash.

mom-and-pop print shops,
meaning that in the future the
region will probably see fewer,
larger printers as companies
consolidate to pool resources,
Blasi said.
In the past its been happen-
ing all over the country, Blasi
said. Not in northeast Pennsyl-
vania but below us its happen-
ing, like in Allentown, Philadel-
phia.
Companies also have needed
to diversify the services they of-
fer to remain competitive, said
Lou Ciampi Jr., president of In-
dependent Graphics in Jenkins
Township.
Youcant onlybe able tooffer
10,000 brochures, you need to
offer 50 brochures and do it dig-
itally, Ciampi said. You need
to offer your clients a wider ar-
ray of products. A client no
longer wants to go through a
printer and a mail shop. They
want you to print and mail it.
Bill Corcoran, owner of Cor-
coran Printing in Wilkes-Barre,
said he has adapted his business
toperformspecializedjobs large
business-oriented printing
chains like Kinkos cant offer.
We are more specialized for
what they cant do, Corcoran
said. We could do a pocket fold-
er with gold foil leaf stamping,
or embossing for a diploma.
He said his company has em-
braced the internet as a market-
ing tool, employing Google pay-
by-click advertising and a com-
pany Facebook page to connect
with newclients. Those market-
ing efforts have helped the print
shop regain its market share af-
ter suffering a near 50 percent
reduction in business following
the 2008 economic crisis, Cor-
coran said.
While consolidation will like-
ly be a continuing trend, print-
ers saidtheybelievedirect print-
ing, particularly for marketing
purposes, will remain in de-
mand for years to come.
Its growing (and) its going
to continue to grow, Blasi said.
Once businesses are starting to
figure out that they need more
of that direct printing then we
get that business because thats
what you need to do these days.
Of course theyre reading on
the Internet but you have to get
it in their hands, too. They dont
want to download a 200-page
catalog on the Internet, they
want something in their hands.
Offset, too, may be seeking a
piece of that pie.
In a Jan. 12 statement an-
nouncing layoffs at the compa-
ny, Andy Meltzer of Matter
Communications, a firm hired
to handle public relations for
Offset, said the printer contin-
ues to diligently measure the
market demands for paperback
titles while also taking steps to
pursue alternative products
suchas coloringbooks, deskcal-
endars and other opportuni-
ties.
Meltzer said Offset would not
comment beyond that state-
ment, but the companys web-
site advertises digital and com-
mercial printing services, in-
cluding flyers, sales brochures,
annual reports, catalogs and
other business and marketing-
oriented products.

A RISING TIDE NOT SO SUNNY THE FIRST OF SEVERAL?
Its like the fabled tailor who
loses money on each shirt
sold but tries to make up for it
on volume: The solar industry
saw record demand for panels
last year, and installations
were 30 percent higher than
any other quarter. But prices
fell 15 percent in the quarter,
making it a profitless prosper-
ity, says Citi analyst Timothy
Arcuri. The problem is a glut
of available solar equipment
in inventories. So much sup-
ply is available that stronger
demand doesnt help. Arcuri
says prices for solar modules
could drop another 25 percent
given the glut.
Petroplus, Europes largest inde-
pendent oil refiner, filed for bank-
ruptcy last week, and financial ana-
lysts expect more to follow in Eu-
rope and the U.S. Refiners are fac-
ing thinner profit margins, as the
price is rising for the oil that they
buy to turn into gasoline and other
products. But China, India and oth-
er developing countries are still
planning to open new refineries at
an even faster pace than global de-
mand is growing. To compensate
for the new developing-world refin-
eries, more non-profitable ones in
the developed world will have to
shut, Barclays Capital analysts say.
The closures would help push up
gasoline prices.
Its been a good start of the year not just
for U.S. stocks but for markets around
the world. For the first time since 2007,
indexes in the U.S., China and Europe
are all up at the beginning of a year,
says Bob Doll, chief equity strategist at
BlackRock. Last year, both U.S. and Eu-
ropean stocks rose more than 2 percent
in January, but Chinese stocks fell 0.6
percent. The January before that, all
three fell 3.7 percent or more. In 2012,
U.S. stocks have climbed on signs the
economy wont slide into another reces-
sion. Chinese stocks are up on expecta-
tions for looser reserve requirements on
Chinese banks, which would pump more
money into the economy. European
stocks have benefited from the improved
optimism about the global economy.

Can dividend-paying stocks post
another strong year like 2011?
Markets shift, but Daniel Genter
still likes dividend stocks this year.
The CEO
and chief
investment
ofcer of
RNC
Genter
Capital
Manage-
ment says
dividends
remain a
key part of
the strategy
at the Los
Angeles-based manager of more
than $3.7 billion. Theyre also the
focus of the RNC Genter Dividend
Income Fund (GDIIX), which his
company manages.
Why do you think 2012 will be a
strong year for dividends?
Last year was a risk-off scenario,
where investors gravitated toward
conservative stocks with greater
earnings visibility and less volatility.
Those trends might lose a little mo-
mentumthis year, but I dont think
well see a sudden shift to a risk-on
scenario, where dividends fall out of
favor. Most investors have seen their
portfolios crash twice in the past de-
cade or so when the dot-combub-
ble burst, and then during the
nancial crisis. Many investors are
hitting retirement, and they dont have
time to suffer through more volatility,
so dividend stocks remain attractive.
Dividend-paying utilities stocks
were the strongest performers in
the market in 2011, but theyve
been lagging this year. Do you
think the short-term opportunity
is over in that sector?
The outlook isnt so bright. With the
run-up that utilities stocks have en-
joyed, theyre no longer attractively
priced. We think the market is shift-
ing to focus much more on earn-
ings, rather than just the perceived
safety that stocks like utilities offer.
Utilities cant continue to outperform
in that environment.
What about banks? They had a
rough 2011, but have been com-
ing back this year.
Its still too early for us to jump in.
Our strategy is a high-dividend strat-
egy, not a hope for high dividends
strategy. The big banks face such a
large regulatory burden now that
growth prospects are limited. They
may end up like the new version of
utilities, where the high-prot seg-
ments of their business will be regu-
lated out of existence. Alot of their
prospects will be dictated by growth
in customer deposits, and youre
much more likely to see single-digit
growth than double-digit growth.
A couple of the larger holdings at
RNC Genter Dividend Income are
tobacco stocks, Philip Morris In-
ternational, and Altria Group.
Last year, they gained 39 per-
cent, and 27 percent, respective-
ly. Do you continue to see
growth for tobacco stocks?
With those two stocks, you get
strong dividend ow. We think its
good to have some addiction stocks,
because they tend to be stable in
good times and bad. If people are
happy, they smoke and drink, and if
they are sad, they probably smoke
and drink more. You tend to have
steady growth. And theyre classic
from the standpoint of what youre
looking for in high dividend stocks.
Tax rates on dividend income
currently top out at 15 percent.
But that historically low rate
could end in 2013 unless Con-
gress approves an extension.
What are your expectations?
Id expect a compromise, with rates
rising to 20 or maybe 25 percent.
Its going to be a hot political topic.
With dividends, its not just a rich
mans game anymore. A very big
part of the population is really living
off dividends now, with bank
certicates of deposit and money
market funds earnings about zero.

Betting
on
Vegas
It may be time to gamble on
casino stocks.
Conventions are returning to Las
Vegas and raising demand for hotel
rooms. Whats more, the supply of
rooms is expected to stay flat. Thats
a combination financial analysts
expect will result in higher profits.
Casinos are still recovering from
the recession. The most recent data
says gambling revenue on the Strip
was down 23 percent in November
from five years earlier. But there are
signs of improvement so investors
should start paying attention, says
Credit Suisse analyst Joel Simkins
Among the positives:
More than 4.7 million people
attended conventions in Vegas in
2011 through November, up from 4.5
million in all of 2010. That marks the
first growth since 2006.
Vegas hotel rooms charged an
average daily rate of $105.39 in the
first 11 months of 2011, up from
$94.91 in 2010.
Room rates are still lower than in
Boston, NewYork and other
convention destinations. That should
help Vegas attract even more crowds.
Vegas will not add any new
hotel rooms in 2012, Nomura
analyst Harry Curtis predicts.
If youre looking to bet on Vegas,
consider MGM Resorts International.
It gets a bigger proportion of profits
from Vegas than rivals. Simkins
upgraded MGM to Neutral last
week. He stopped short of a buy
recommendation, partly because the
recovery in Vegas has been mostly
due to conventions and high-end
baccarat players visiting fromAsia.
Middle-class gamblers are still shy
about visiting.
Nomuras Curtis is more
optimistic. He rates MGM a Buy,
along with Las Vegas Sands and
Wynn Resorts on expectations that
convention growth alone will drive
stronger earnings.
More people attended Las Vegas conventions in 2011,
and they paid higher rates for their hotel rooms.

Searching for dividend growth
Stock
Screener
Interest rates on bonds are so low that some income
investors are abandoning them for dividend stocks.
Not only do the stocks pay out regular dividends, they also
have the potential for their share price to rise. Stocks in the S&P
500 that pay a dividend rose an average of 1.4 percent in 2011,
versus an average drop of 7.6 percent for the stocks in the
index that dont pay a dividend.
But investors shouldnt be indiscriminate in buying dividend
stocks, financial analysts say. Last years rise means many no
longer look cheap.
Goldman Sachs strategists suggest investors look to
companies that not only pay a dividend but have the financial
strength to keep raising the payout. This screen shows
companies that Goldman Sachs analysts expect to increase
dividends in 2012. They all generate lots of cash and have
relatively strong balance sheets, giving them the flexibility to
increase their payouts.

Mortgage rates tick higher
The average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage rose
for the first time in four weeks, but it remained be-
low 4 percent for the eighth straight week. Rates
on mortgages and other loans tend to follow Trea-
sury yields, which have dropped steadily for over a
year. Last week, the yield on the 10-year Treasury
fell after the Federal Reserve said it would keep in-
terest rates low until late 2014.

growth is likely to lag that of the
overall economy. Dont sell your
most attractive stocks for short-
term reasons.
(4) Be willing to look beyond
dividends for great growers.
(5) Recognize that mistakes are
inevitable. Recognize them as soon
as possible, understand their causes,
and learn from them so that theyre
not repeated. Be willing and pre-
pared to take small losses in some
stocks while letting profits keep
growing in your more promising
stocks. Dont take profits just for
the satisfaction of taking them.
(6) Realize that the number of
truly outstanding companies is
relatively small. Concentrate your
money in the most desirable oppor-
tunities. Holding more than 20
companies is unmanageable (and a
sign of financial incompetence).
(7) Dont blindly follow the crowd.
Have more knowledge than others,
and apply your judgment after thor-
oughly assessing specific situations.
Youll need courage to go against the
crowd and follow your convictions.
(8) Your success will be highly
dependent on a combination of hard
work, intelligence and honesty.

Its Getting Tougher
for General Motors
General Motors (NYSE: GM) had
a solid 2011, with domestic sales up
14 percent, well above the industrys
10 percent and reflecting a gain
in market share. Thats great for a
company that some say should have
died three years ago, but GM may
find 2012 to be tougher, even if the
economy continues to improve.
December sales showed Buick
sales down 12 percent over last
year and Cadillac off by 3 percent.
But thats largely due to the phase-
out of the Lucerne and the DTS,
respectively. Chevy numbers were
better, with Cruze sales strong and
Camaro sales up 20 percent. Even
the Volt posted record sales.
Competition is likely to heat up
considerably in 2012, though. Both
Toyota and Honda faced production
issues in 2011, creating an oppor-
tunity that GM seized. But after
months of sales declines in the wake
of production disruptions caused by
last Marchs tsunami in Japan, Toy-
otas sales have stopped shrinking
and are likely to start growing.
Competition will be spiked fur-
ther by Volkswagen, which has
signaled that it will look to the U.S.
for growth as its European home
market has stalled. Other rivals are
revving their motors, too.
Meanwhile, General Motors is furi-
ously working on major new prod-
ucts, but theyre not scheduled to
start rolling out until 2013. (Motley
Fool newsletters have recommended
General Motors and Ford.)

Netflix: Sell or Hold?
I bought shares of Netflix
just before it announced a price
hike and that it was splitting its
streaming video and DVD rental
businesses. Since then, the com-
pany has made one misstep after
another! It lost some 800,000
customers recently, and may lose
more. It also sold $200 million
of shares to a mutual
fund at too cheap a price,
and bought back many
shares at high prices by borrow-
ing money. Im down 50 percent
in my investment. So do I ride it
for the next five years and hope it
recovers, or do I sell? I know you
Fools have recommended Netflix.
B.W., overseas
The Fool Responds: Netflix
has committed numerous blunders.
Yet it remains a formidable power,
with 24 million subscribers, vs. just
5 million for Amazon Prime. We
have indeed recommended it, and
have seen our gains shrink in recent
months. The company still has much
potential, though, and its priced
more attractively lately than it has
been in recent years. Dont decide
now to hold it for five years. Sell if
youve lost faith, or hold, watching
it closely to see how it does.

A
Theyre the two main kinds of
retirement plans. Traditional
pensions are defined benefit plans,
where employees know exactly what
theyll receive in retirement. Its the
employers responsibility to have the
needed money available for retirees.
Defined contribution plans, such
as 401(k)s and 403(b)s, have replaced
many traditional pension plans.
With them, the amount of money
contributed into the plan is defined:
You know how much you and your
company are depositing into your
account. The sum available at retire-
ment is uncertain and will depend on
how the contributions are invested
and how they perform. You typi-
cally have more control over these
accounts, as you can usually specify
what kinds of investments your dol-
lars are plunked into (growth mutual
funds, company stock, bonds, etc.).
With both Social Security and
investment results uncertain, its
vital to plan effectively for retire-
ment. Youll find practical guidance

American Depositary Receipts
enable us to easily buy
and sell shares of foreign stocks
that dont normally trade on U.S.
exchanges. Without them, if you
wanted to buy stock in Canon, for
instance, youd have to convert your
dollars into yen and then somehow
buy shares on the Japanese exchange.
Through ADRs, shares of Canon are
held by an American financial institu-
tion overseas and you can trade shares
with U.S. dollars. ADR holders are
entitled to dividends and capital gains.
Other ADRs include BP, Nokia,

Savvy and successful investors are

Stocks and Uncommon Profits
(Wiley, $22). Here are some of the
tenets of his investment philosophy:
(1) Buy stock in companies with
disciplined plans for achieving
dramatic long-term growth in both
profits and revenues. They must
also have inherent qualities that
make it hard for new competitors
to share in such growth. (In other
words, look for competitive advan-

(2) Aim to find such companies
when they are out of favor when
market conditions are not favorable
or the financial community does
not properly see their true worth.
(Thats when theyll be trading at
attractive prices.)
(3) Hold the stocks you buy until
there has been either a fundamental

ROBERTC. LAWTON
of Rio Vista, Calif., is
nowthe chief executive
officer of Luzerne Coun-
ty.
His appointment
Tuesday evening under
the auspices of the
home rule charter required seven affirma-
tive votes fromthe recently installed11-
member county council. Predictably, he
received nine.
The vote of confidence that Mr. Lawson
received fromthe council members naviga-
ting the transition to a newformof govern-
ment bolsters the publics confidence that
council has selected a fine individual to
lead this county.
Mr. Lawton, welcome to Luzerne Coun-
ty and please accept the very best wishes
of a community grateful for your interest
and courage.
Agraduate of the State College of New
York, Lawton earned a masters degree
fromthe prestigious political science pro-
gramat the University of Iowa.
Lawton, 49, appears to possess a breadth
and depth of governmental experience that
will serve himwell in the months and
years ahead. Having worked in and with
the state government of NewYork and
county governments in Wisconsin and
California, the newLuzerne County man-
ager is certainly qualified for the job.
But is he prepared?
Most recently Lawton was a manage-
ment analyst in Californias Solano County.
Located west of Sacramento, Solano is
north and east of Oakland, San Francisco,
its bay and that of San Pablo.
Perhaps Lawton believes that ruling in
Luzerne County, even with its many diffi-
culties, is preferable to serving within
nose-distance of Napa and many of the
worlds premier vineyards.
Despite the daunting challenges that
nowconfront him, and very likely because
of them, Lawton has labeled his newposi-
tion, and its attendant responsibilities, a
tremendous professional opportunity.
An executive who sees a plethora of
intractable problems strewn before him
and is able to label the expanding mess a
professional opportunity might be the
caliber of county manager the times re-
quire.
Luzernes Lawton sought and has been
granted an extraordinary opportunity to
performcommendable public service.
The skilled drafters of the home rule
charter have armed himwith an extraor-
dinary political independence fortified by
the impregnable language spread upon the
pages of the governing document. It is
bolstered by the hundreds of thousands of
dollars in campaign contributions that
Lawton had neither to solicit nor to accept
in pursuit of his goal.
The success or failure of a chief exec-
utive in this county rests largely on the
maintenance of that political autonomy
and independent judgment.
Edmund Burke, a member of the British
Parliament (1774) noted that, a repre-
sentative owes the people not only his
industry, but also his judgment, and he
betrays themif he sacrifices it to their
opinion. The same goes for county man-
agers.
There are many fine people on council,
but the manager is not their clerk. He is
the countys CEO, head of a separate
branch of government carefully crafted,
drafted and ratified by the people to estab-
lish necessary checks and balances here-
tofore absent in county government.
Mr. Lawton, you nowrepresent the
executive half of what were three county
commissioners befuddled, bewildered and
beholden. The natives who had the com-
missioners on speed dial have since delet-
ed themto make roomfor you. Be
careful.
In the first year decline most invitations.
To those you accept, be prompt and leave
early. Maintain your independence and
speak your mind. Work the budget, tune
your team, visit the editorial boards, study
the Susquehanna and become an expert in
child protective services.
Monitor your commissions, boards,
authorities, airport and community col-
lege. Be wary of those people wishing to
smother you with kindness, share their
advice and showyou around. Heed the
enduring truth, whoever comes to you
with this Barzini meeting, hes the traitor.
Dont forget that.

NEWYORKAdifferent kind of
F-wordis stirringa linguistic andpo-
litical debate as controversial as
what it defines.
The word is fracking as in hy-
draulic fracturing, a technique long
used by the oil and gas industry to
free oil and gas from rock.
Its not in the dictionary, the in-
dustry hates it, and President Ba-
rack Obama didnt use it in his State
of the Union speech even as he
praised federal subsidies for it.
The word sounds nasty, and envi-
ronmental advocates have been able
to use it to generate opposition
andrevulsiontowhat theysayis a
nasty process that threatens water
supplies.
It obviously calls to mind other
less socially polite terms, and folks
have been able to take advantage of
that, said Kate Sinding, a senior at-
torney at the Natural Resources De-
fense Council who works on drilling
issues.
One of the chants at an anti-drill-
ingrallyinAlbanyearlier this month
was No fracking way!
Industry executives argue that the
word is deliberately misspelled by
environmental activists and that it
has become a slur that should not be
used by media outlets that strive for
objectivity.
Its a co-opted word and a co-opt-
ed spelling used to make it look as
offensive as people cantry tomake it
look, said Michael Kehs, vice presi-
dent for Strategic Affairs at Chesa-
peake Energy, the nations second-
largest natural gas producer.
Michael Weiss, a professor of lin-
guistics at Cornell University, says
the word originated as simple indus-
try jargon, but has taken on a nega-
tive meaning over time muchlike
the word silly once meant holy.
But frack also happens to sound
like smack and whack, with
more violent connotations.
When you hear the word frack-
ing, what lights up your brain is the
profanity, says Deborah Mitchell,
who teaches marketing at the Uni-
versity of Wisconsins School of
Business. Negative things come to
mind.
Obama did not use the word in his
State of the Union address Tuesday
night, when he said his administra-
tion will help ensure natural gas will
be developed safely, suggesting it
would support 600,000 jobs by the
end of the decade.
Inhydraulic fracturing, millions of
gallons of water, sand and chemicals
are pumped into wells to break up
underground rock formations and
create escape routes for the oil and
gas. In recent years, the industry has
learned to combine the practice
with the ability to drill horizontally
into beds of shale, layers of fine-
grainedrock that insome cases have
trapped ancient organic matter that
has cooked into oil and gas.
Environmentalists worry that the
fluid could leak into water supplies
from cracked casings in wells. They
are also concerned that wastewater
fromthe process could contaminate
water supplies if not properly treat-
ed or disposed of. And they worry
the method allows too much me-
thane, the main component of nat-
ural gas and an extraordinarily po-
tent greenhouse gas, to escape.
Some want to ban the practice al-

ASHINGTONRhodeIslandis thesmallest stateinthecountry, but
it has everyother statebeat byonemeasure: Ahigher percentageof its
students are inspecial educationthananywhere else. Ananalysis of
U.S. Department of Education data shows that the percentage of stu-
dents in special education varies widely among states. While Rhode Island tops the
country at 18 percent, Texas, at 9 percent, is at the bottom. The average percentage
across all states is13percent, andtwo-thirds of states areabovethat number, accord-
ing to the data.
Those differences could
have major financial implica-
tions for states. Special edu-
cation funding can account
for up to 20 percent of school
budgets, according to a 2010
report by the Economic Poli-
cy Institute. Overall funding
for special education has re-
mained mostly intact during
the recession, but looming
cuts at the federal level could spell trouble if state
andlocal resources, whichalreadypickupmost of
the tab for special education, are stretched even
further. Already, several states have asked for fed-
eral exemptions to allowthemto cut special edu-
cation support.
Schools have fairly high discretion in identify-
ing special education students within the federal
guidelines, according to officials at the Depart-
ment of Education.

Editorial
I believe we should return to a
part-time, citizen-led body.
State Rep. Gerald Mullery
The Democrat from Newport Township
co-sponsored a bill to be voted on by the House of
Representatives that would reduce its membership
from 203 lawmakers to 153. The proposal, which last week won
approval from the House State Government Committee, would not be
implemented until after 2020.
TO A hammer, everything
looks like a nail. To a men-
tal health professional,
evidently, an awful lot looks
like mental illness.
The latest scary story on
this front came to us earlier
this month from the National Survey on
Drug Use and Health, which finds that each
year 20 percent of American adults suffer
some form of mental illness. If its any con-
solation, things are even worse in Europe,
where a similar survey, published in Septem-
ber, found 38 percent of the population
suffering each year from mental or brain
disorders.
Then again, a decade ago, a survey by the
National Institute for Mental Health found
that 46 percent of Americans met the crite-
ria for at least one mental illness at some
point in their lives.
Should we be worried about this? Of
course we should because whats crazy are
these numbers, which call into question
what is meant by mental illness, and why
anyone would think it so widespread. Then
again, its hardly surprising that the latest
U.S. survey found a lot of mental illness,
given the questions it contained.
For instance, it asks that you pick one
month in the past 12 when you were the
most depressed, anxious or emotionally
stressed. During that month, it wants to
know, how often did you feel nervous?
Other questions include: During the past
30 days, how often did you feel restless or
fidgety? and How often did you feel that
everything was an effort?
The real problem is that too many people
have too great an interest in medicalizing
normal life in turning sadness into depres-
sion, or shyness into social anxiety disorder.
For drug companies and providers of mental
health services, this can be quite profitable.
The NSDUH survey found that prescrip-
tion drugs were the most commonly used
mental health service in 2010 and were
given to 26.5 million adults a remarkable
one of every nine.
Dr. Marcia Angell, a former editor-in-chief
of the New England Journal of Medicine, is
skeptical of all this medication. She writes:
The tally of those who are so disabled by
mental disorders that they qualify for Sup-
plemental Security Income or Social Securi-
ty Disability Insurance increased nearly two
and a half times between 1987 and 2007
from one in 184 Americans to one in 76. For
children, the rise is even more startling a
35-fold increase.
None of this is to minimize the terrible
problems that some people suffer with ac-
tual, indisputable mental illness. At least
one expert said the NSDUH survey is prob-
ably right that 5 percent of Americans suffer
from a mental disorder so severe it disrupts
their lives. Depression can certainly do that.
The difficulty is that mental illness isnt
like influenza or cancer. The latter two can
be diagnosed definitively, but mental illness
is more in the eye of the beholder. In the
past, for example, homosexuality was con-
sidered a mental illness; now, in New York
at least, gay people can marry one another
the idea that theyre sick has become a
fringe notion.
Nowadays, mental illness has a kind of
rule book in the Diagnostic and Statistical
Manual of Mental Disorders, published by
the American Psychiatric Association. The
current edition has ballooned to describe
three times the number of disorders en-
shrined in the first version, published in
1952. The next edition, due in 2013, is so
controversial its being prepared in secret.
But already we know that five of the 10
personality disorders in the current edition
are being dropped, including narcissistic
personality disorder a diagnosis that,
fortunately, will remain in the DSM until
after the presidential election. Well no
doubt need it.
Overdiagnosis is enough to ruin your mental health

D A N I E L A K S T
PAULA DEEN came out
this month. The cookbook
author and television per-
sonality, known for her
enthusiasm for high-fat and
fried foods, has been a clos-
et diabetic for three years
and for the moment, shes the chef we love to
hate, having seduced us with unhealthful
recipes on the one hand while she checked
her blood sugar with the other.
But shes also a distraction, and the media
storm surrounding the news of her illness is
exactly the sort of publicity bonanza the
pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk must
have dreamed of when it hired Deen to be
the spokeswoman for its new marketing
campaign. Its Deens job, along with her
sons, to help us see Diabetes in a new light,
according to the companys website. As if one
soft-focus slogan werent enough, theres a
kicker: Live a life thats delicious.
It sounds like so much fun; almost makes
you want to sign up for Type 2 diabetes.
Surely Deen fans with the disease will start
asking their doctors if the $500-a-month
Novo Nordisk drug she takes might be right
for them, not because they need a new medi-
cation but because it will catapult them to
one degree of separation from Deen which
is, after all, what celebrity endorsements are
all about.
Theres a heated debate in the blogosphere
over what Deen knew, when she knew it and
the amount of sugar, fat and calories she
dished out in the meantime. But really, the
worst she might be guilty of is being a savvy
entrepreneur. Deen got handed a bushel of
lemons and made suddenly sugar free!
lemonade.
I say, lets turn up the wattage on Novo
Nordisks new light until its as strong as
the bare bulb hanging over a perp in the
interrogation room. Heres some illuminating
information:
More than 25 million Americans, about 8.3
percent of the population, have diabetes, and
at the current diagnosis rate, one in three of
us will have it by 2050. All but a small per-
centage of these cases are Type 2 diabetes,
and obesity is the No. 1 risk factor.
According to 2007 figures, the most recent
available, juvenile and Type 2 diabetes cost
$174 billion annually $116 billion in excess
medical expenses, according to the American
Diabetes Association, and $58 billion in
reduced productivity. Its a health care crisis
all by itself.
The long view? Decidedly not new or
delicious. The National Institutes of Health
lists the life-threatening complications: heart
disease, stroke, hypertension, blindness,
kidney disease, nervous system disease,
amputations, dental problems, pregnancy
complications. The catchall other complica-
tions category includes coma, greater risk of
death from pneumonia, trouble with physical
activity for those older than 60 and, no sur-
prise, depression.
I imagine that right now most of you like
Deen a whole lot more than you like me, and
I apologize for putting a dent in her I-eat-
what-I-like-but-in-moderation campaign. My
father had diabetes, and I watched its pro-
gress for 21 years. I can say with some au-
thority that while a diabetics life is manage-
able, it hardly qualifies as delicious in any
dependable way.
The life of a diabetic is somewhat less than
swell but Novo Nordisk is selling swell,
alongside drug companies that promise to
medicate away depression, gas, incontinence,
clogged arteries and fibromyalgia.
Support and encouragement is one thing,
but what were being sold is magical think-
ing. In the battle between health care reality
and fantasy, Paula Deen is small potatoes
(steamed, skins on, no butter), but what she
represents matters: another attempt to mar-
ket immortality to a culture thats particularly
in love with misbehaving, followed by an
easy fix.
Theres not a lot thats sweet about the life of a diabetic

OUR STATE repre-
sentative, assuming
you live in Pennsylva-
nia, gets paid a yearly
salary of at least $82,000.
So does the representative
who lives in the neighboring
district. And the next district.
And the next ...
In total, this state has 203
representatives, each costing
$82,000 or much more, if he
or she holds a leadershipposi-
tion plus health and other
benefits, plus the expense of
his or her staffers.
Toss in the 50 state
senators and their
worker bees, and
the General As-
sembly gobbles up
about $300 million
in taxpayer dollars.
Every year.
Are you getting your mon-
eys worth?
We dont think so. Thats
why we strongly urge you to
speak up in support of efforts
such as House Bill 153 a pro-
posal before the state House of
Representatives to scale back
its membership from 203 to
153. If approved, the reduction
wouldnot take place until after
the 2020 census, but dont let
that get you discouraged. The
drawn-out process required to
stick a pin in Pennsylvanias
bloated Legislature one of
the biggest, most money-
draining in the nation is
worth the wait.
HouseBill 153gainedtheap-
proval last week of the House
State Government Commit-
tee, meaning it potentially
moves soon to the full House
for a vote. In any given year,
multiple bills might exist that
call for downsizingthe Legisla-
ture; typically, each fizzles and
dies.
Dont let that happen this
year.
Three members of Luzerne
Countys contingent of state
House lawmakers Rep. Mike
Carroll, Rep. Gerald Mullery
and Rep. Tarah Toohil are co-
signers of the bill. Other repre-
sentatives appear less enthusi-
astic about it and have legiti-
mate questions. Those con-
cerns, however, shouldnt
doomthe impulse to shrink an
obviously fat and frustratingly
ineffective body.
Critics will say a smaller
House threat-
ens to take
power away
from voters in
certain re-
gions. But we
would counter
that average
voters already
lack clout, which instead rests
todayintheuncallousedhands
of Harrisburg lobbyists and in-
fluential industry bigwigs (ca-
sino gaming and natural gas
companies, to name a few).
Other detractors will say
that eliminating the number of
representatives will bog down
services for the public. Howev-
er, ample evidence suggests
that certain lawmakers spend
toomuchtimeandeffort onde-
vising ways sometimes ille-
gal to topple the opposition
party rather than to provide
public service.
For such a big group, it fairly
consistently fails to act deci-
sively on Pennsylvanias big-
gest issues: transportation
funding, a natural gas sever-
ance tax, state liquor store op-
eration, pension reform, etc.
You can probably think of at
least one advantage to adopt-
ing a slimmer state House. Put
your mind to it for a bit, and
you can probably think of at
least 82,000 reasons.

Supreme Courts in-
complete pronounce-
ment onreconfiguring
state House and Senate dis-
tricts is a victory for many legis-
lativeincumbents, but it isaloss
for citizens and for fairness.
Its also infuriating and per-
plexing.
The court, in a 4-3 vote, re-
jectedthe boundaries drawnfor
the Houses 203 districts and
the Senates 50 based on 2010
U.S. Census data. Its the first
timethecourt has donesosince
1968, whenchanges to the state
constitution created the proc-
ess.
Setting aside whether this
years map is a more egregious
case of gerrymandering than in
the past and, therefore, de-
servedtobethrownout, thebig-
ger problem is that the courts
decision doesnt explain what
was wrong with the map. Its or-
der merelysays theplanis con-
trary to law and punts it back
to the Republican-majority
commission that approved it
Dec. 11. The order also says the
current districts shall be used
until a different plan is ap-
proved, but it sets no timetable.
The order promises that a le-
gal opinion explaining the de-
tails will come at some unspec-
ified time, a nonchalance that
ignores the clock thats running
down toward the April 24 pri-
mary election.
Republicans, who like the
plan, say theyll tackle a redraw
quickly, hoping it will be usable
for the full House and half the
Senateseats that areupfor elec-
tion this year. Democrats, who
lose clout under the plan, say
the deadlines for getting on the
spring ballot mean its too late
to make changes for this year,
therefore incumbents have an
advantage.
That defeats the purpose of
redistricting, which is intended
to adjust the allocation of law-
makers based on population,
thusadheringtotheprincipleof
one person, one vote. Maintain-
ing the status quo means areas
that havelost populationwill re-
tain their districts and those
that have grown wont gain a
commensurate share of repre-
sentation.
Pennsylvania needs anapolit-
ical reapportionment process,
one in which a truly independ-
ent bodywouldredrawdistricts
based on population and geog-
raphy. The state Supreme
Courts mishandling of the cur-
rent process is moreevidenceof

ONCE UPON
a time, small
ball was not
Barack Oba-
mas game.
Tuesday, it
was the es-
sence of his
State of the Union address.
The visionary of 2008 pur-
veyor of hope and change,
healer of the earth, tamer of
the rising seas offered an
hour of little things: tax-code
tweaks to encourage this or
that kind of behavior (manu-
facturing being the flavor of
the day), little watchdog agen-
cies to round up Wall Street
miscreants and Chinese DVD
pirates, even a presidential
demand that all students stay
in high school until they grad-
uate or turn 18. Under penal-
ty of what? Jail? The self-pro-
claimed transformer of Amer-
ica is now playing truant offi-
cer?
It sounded like the Clinton
years with their presidentially
proclaimed initiatives on mid-
night basketball and school
uniforms. These are the marks
of a shrunken presidency,
thoroughly flummoxed by high
unemployment, economic
stagnation, crushing debt
and a glaring absence of big
ideas.
Of course, this being Oba-
ma, there was a reach for gran-
deur. Hope and change are
long gone. Its now equality
and fairness.
That certainly is a large
idea. Lenin and Mao went
pretty far with it. As did Clem-
ent Attlee and his social-demo-
cratic counterparts in postwar
Europe.
Where does Obama take it?
Back to the decade-old Demo-
cratic obsession with the Bush
tax cuts, the crusade for a tax
hike of all of 4.6 points for 2
percent of households 10
years of which wouldnt cover
the cost of Obamas 2009 stim-
ulus alone.
Which is why Obama in-
troduced a shiny new twist
the Buffett Rule, a minimum
30 percent rate for million-
aires. Sounds novel. But its a
tired replay of the alternative
minimum tax, originally cre-
ated in 1969 to bring to heel all
of 155 underpaying fat cats.
Following the fate of other
such do-goodism, the AMT
then metastasized into a $40
billion monster that today
entraps millions of middle-
class taxpayers.
There isnt even a pretense
that the Buffett Rule will do
anything for economic growth
or job creation. Which should
not surprise. Back in 2008,
Obama was asked if he would
still support raising the cap-
ital-gains tax rate (the intend-
ed effect of the Buffett Rule) if
this would decrease govern-
ment revenues.
Obama said yes. In the name
of fairness.
This is redistribution for its
own sake the cost be
damned. It took Indiana Gov.
Mitch Daniels about 30 sec-
onds of his State of the Union
rebuttal to demolish that idea.
To get the rich to contribute
more, explained Daniels, you
dont raise tax rates. This
ultimately retards economic
growth for all. You (a) elim-
inate loopholes from which the
rich benefit disproportionately
(tax reform) and (b) means-
test entitlements so that the
benefits go to those most in
need.
Tax reform and entitlement
reform are the really big ideas.
The first produces social equi-
ty plus economic efficiency;
the second produces social
equity plus debt reduction.
And yet these are precisely
what Obama has for three
years steadfastly refused to
address. He prefers the easy
demagoguery of tax the rich.
After all, whats he got?
Cant run on his record. Barely
even mentioned Obamacare
or the stimulus, his major
legislative achievements, on
Tuesday night. Too unpopular.
His platform is fairness, wrap-
ped around a plethora of little
things, one mini-industrial
policy after another the
conceit nicely encapsulated by
his proclamation that I will
not cede the wind or solar or
battery industry to China or to
Germany.
Soviet central planners man-
dated quotas for steel produc-
tion, regardless of demand.
Obamas industrial policy is a
bit more subtle. Tax breaks for
manufacturing but double
tax breaks for high-tech manu-
facturing, which for some
reason is considered more
virtuous, despite the fact that
high tech is less likely to cre-
ate blue-collar jobs. Its main
job creation will be for legions
of lawyers and linguists testify-
ing before some new adjudi-
cating bureaucracy that the
Acme Umbrella Factory meets
their exquisitely drawn criteria
for high tech.
What Obama offered the
nation Tuesday night was a
pudding without a theme: a
jumble of disconnected initia-
tives, a gaggle of intrusive new
agencies and a whole new
generation of loopholes to
further corrupt a tax code that
screams out for reform.
If the Republicans cant beat
that in November, they should
try another line of work.
A lot of small talk
in State of Union flop

ANOTHER VIEW
A photograph by Aimee Dilger

POLITICIANS
bickering over
private equitys
impact on jobs
and how to
bring down the
high unemploy-
ment rate are
entirely missing the point about
the crisis facing working Amer-
icans. The predicament we face
isnt simply that there are too
few jobs; its also that an in-
creasing number of workers
dont have the kind of job that
can pay the bills.
While productivity has grown
by more than 80 percent over the
last 30 years, wages have effec-
tively been flat for 80 percent of
Americans. So, although were
making stuff faster and more
efficiently, the benefits of that
hard work have not trickled into
the pockets of the people who do
it.
Lets turn first to the intensify-
ing debate over Mitt Romneys
role as a private equity manager.
Its of course ludicrous that Newt
Gingrich and Rick Perry two
veteran advocates of a vehement-
ly anti-union, free-market agenda
that laid the foundation for the
newly coined vulture capital-
ism condemned those princi-
ples while campaigning in New
Hampshire and South Carolina.
But equally absurd is Rom-
neys defense that, at the end of
the day, his company, Bain Cap-
ital, created more jobs than it
destroyed. Even if hes telling the
truth by some measures, the fact
is that private equity buyouts
often enrich those who arrange
them by sharp cost-cutting, in-
cluding dismantling pay and
benefits for most of the workers
who remain or new hires who
join the more efficient en-
terprise. Its simple math: To
service the huge debt taken on in
virtually every buyout, workers
take cuts. And the new jobs
arent necessarily a path to the
American dream.
Take Staples, which Romney
trumpets as one of his successes.
The company certainly pays
some of its employees well:
Staples Chairman and Chief
Executive Ronald L. Sargent
received a total pay package of
more than $15 million in 2010.
But jobs in retail one of the
fastest-growing job sectors in
recent decades tend to pay
poorly, and Staples jobs dont
seem to be an exception to that
rule.
Although the company doesnt
publish its wage scale, the web-
site glassdoor.com, which allows
workers to post their salaries
anonymously to try to give a
picture of wages at a company,
suggests that the average Staples
sales associate or EasyTech
associate makes less than $9 an
hour. An employee working a
40-hour week, 52 weeks a year at
that rate would make significant-
ly less than the 2010 federal
poverty level threshold for a
family of four of $22,314. So,
although Romney likes to claim
credit for creating jobs, he needs
to be asked how many of those
jobs were ones that allowed
employees to make ends meet.
And even that question doesnt
get at another issue: the number
of jobs that were lost as the
growth of Staples and similar
companies drove mom-and-pop
stationery shops and office sup-
ply stores across the country out
of business.
Republicans, though, arent
alone in muddying the waters. A
few days ago, the president held
a political photo op, praising
several companies for bringing
back jobs from overseas: so-
called in-sourcing. But he did not
address two ugly truths and
the uninformed, lazy news media
did not demand he do so.
First, companies are coming
back to the United States be-
cause wages here are dropping,
in real terms. At the same time,
lower-wage corporate nirvanas
such as China are no longer as
cheap an alternative as they once
were, partly because the sea of
people who worked for next to
nothing for so long have had
enough and are rising up in
protest.
Second, most of the jobs com-
ing back are not high-wage,
union jobs with full health care
and pensions. In fact, with con-
certed efforts by Republican
governors in the Midwest to
eviscerate union rights, times
have never been better for corpo-
rate leaders seeking to lower
labor costs. With labor costs in
the U.S. dropping relative to
those in the Third World, the
presidents offer of tax incentives
to other companies that in-
source is unnecessary. As Citi-
zens for Tax Justice points out,
using a 2007 Bush adminis-
tration study, corporations based
in the United States already have
plenty of tax incentive to locate
here because the United States
takes a below-average share of
corporate income in taxes com-
pared to other developed coun-
tries.
There is a serious discussion
we need to have about American
jobs that takes into account not
just the quantity but also the
quality. But that isnt a conversa-
tion leaders of either party are
interested in having.
We need to face up to the
reality that the economic princi-
ples that have been promoted for
decades are an abject failure, at
least if you measure success by
whether people who work hard
can support their families and
make ends meet.
More jobs without more pay wont help workers

There is a serious discussion
we need to have about
American jobs that takes into
account not just the quantity
but also the quality.
ONE YEAR ago,
young Egyptians
poured into Tahrir
Square in a revolt
whose outcome sur-
prised them as much
as the world.
It has become fash-
ionable to say their rebellion failed,
since its mostly secular organizers
couldnt translate Internet skills into
political power. When Egypts first
freely elected parliament in six dec-
ades held its opening session on Mon-
day, Islamists had more than 70 per-
cent of the seats, liberals less than 20
percent, and an alliance of young
revolutionaries only 2.35 percent.
So it was the right moment to speak
with Wael Ghonim, the young Egyp-
tian Google executive who created
and administered the Facebook page
that sparked the Jan. 25 revolution.
Ghonim, whom I interviewed by
phone from Cairo, has just published
a fascinating book called Revolution
2.0: the Power of the People is Grea-
ter than the People in Power, which
lays out details of how the rebels
organized complete with many of
their email exchanges. There is an
energy in the book, and in Ghonims
words that makes one feel it is much
too soon to assume the revolution is
over or to underestimate what the
rebels achieved.
I think the revolution is a process,
says the intense, bearded 31-year-old
with an MBA from the American
University of Cairo. Most of us were
not politically mature, we didnt see
the challenges. But if we look back a
couple of years, and anyone had told
me that (President Hosni) Mubarak
would have stepped down, parliament
would be dissolved and 27 million
would vote, I wouldnt have believed
it.
So many Egyptians have been
freed from the psychological barrier
of fear.
It is that new freedom from fear
that Ghonim believes holds the key to
Egypts future.
His presumption as yet unproven
is that an aroused public will hold
its Islamist government, and its mil-
itary, to account.
Ghonims book describes how he,
and his Internet colleagues broke
their own fear barriers. As an educat-
ed, tech-savvy Egyptian, he chafed at
the lack of political alternatives to
Mubarak. His first move was to anony-
mously create what later became the
official Facebook page for Nobel lau-
reate Mohammed ElBaradei, who
galvanized young people by challeng-
ing the Mubarak regime in 2010.
As his courage grew, Ghonim felt
impelled to act when he saw a grisly
online photo of a young man beaten
to death by police in Alexandria. He
set up a Facebook page called Kullena
Khalid Said (We are all Khalid Said),
which later became a rallying cry for
the Jan. 25 rally, originally called to
protest police brutality.
The book describes how Ghonim,
and fellow Internet buffs gradually
shed their fear of action, and worked
up to organizing the Tahrir protest. It
also details Ghonims terrifying expe-
riences when he was arrested and
interrogated.
I asked Ghonim whether he fears an
Islamist government will install a
religious autocracy, perhaps in ca-
hoots with the Egyptian military,
which wants to retain its power. I also
asked what the Internet rebels can do
to protect the new democracy, espe-
cially since the public has tired of
demonstrations.
Ghonim admits that some revolu-
tions lead to new dictatorships. But
he believes a public freed from fear
will hold the Muslim Brotherhood
(and the military) to account.
I trust the Egyptian people, and I
trust democracy, he says. People
voted for the Muslim Brothers be-
cause of the good social work they did
in the past. Now they will have to deal
with the economy and lack of jobs.
In five years (at the next election)
the people will judge them on what
they achieved.
If they dont produce, he says, the
public will vote them out.
As for what the young rebels can
do, he has helped form a political-
pressure group called Our Egypt,
whose leaders include one liberal,
one leftist, one Salafi, one religious
leader and a filmmaker. Its goals: to
lobby parliament on economic re-
forms and human rights protections;
to hold the army accountable for its
promise to leave politics; and to en-
courage more Egyptians to get politi-
cally involved.
Can his group reach out to the 80
percent of Egyptians who arent In-
ternet users? Can it counter the prop-
aganda on state TV that still demon-
izes independent civic groups?
Ghonim hopes so, even if its mem-
bers have to canvass door to door.
We need to get a critical mass of
the public interested in politics, he
says. We have to give them a sense of
ownership. Dictators dont want peo-
ple to be involved. If there is account-
ability, its very hard to push their
heads down again.
As we say goodbye, I hear Ghonim
arguing with the taxi driver in whose
cab hes been riding. The driver rec-
ognized me and didnt want me to
pay, he says, but I insisted. I told
him there are no more idols or dicta-
tors here.

P E R S P E C T I V E S
IN THE wake of the Penn State child
sexual abuse scandal, there are many
questions about how and why our
institutional, state and national child
protection policies have fallen short.
Among the shortcomings:
Inadequate commitment to and
investment in proven prevention ser-
vices.
Placing the burden on children to
keep themselves safe from child abuse
and victimization.
Inconsistent and confusing laws
about reporting child abuse.
A reduced capacity to respond to
the complex needs of vulnerable chil-
dren.
The Protect Our Children Commit-
tee Pennsylvanias statewide coalition
dedicated to preventing child abuse
and securing targeted child welfare
reforms is working toward under-
standing the reasons for and implica-
tions of Pennsylvanias statistical out-
lier status, both in initiating child
abuse investigations (eight per 1,000
children versus 40 per 1,000 children
nationally) and in determining a child
to be a victim of child abuse (1.3 per
1,000 children compared to 9.2 per
1,000 nationally).
Last April, the committee called for a
state-level task force to examine impor-
tant front-end child protection issues
(e.g., how abuse is defined, reported
and investigated, and the pathway to
services for children).
In December, our call was answered
when the General Assembly created an
11-member Task Force on Child Protec-
tion, which will include Senior Judge
Arthur E. Grim, a district attorney,
physicians specializing in child abuse,
the leader of the Pennsylvania Coali-
tion Against Rape and other child
abuse experts.
The task force and the federal Speak
Up to Protect Every Abused Child Act,
introduced by U.S. Sen. Bob Casey,
D-Scranton, help highlight and transfer
to adults the fundamental responsib-
ility to protect children, including
requiring and improving training for
mandated reporters persons who
come into contact with children in
their work.
Pennsylvanias mandatory reporting
statute is perceived as relatively
straightforward, yet many people find
it technical and confusing. We find a
remarkably large number of mandated
reporters have never even been trained
about how and when to report.
Last year, the Protect Our Children
Committee conducted a survey of
mandated reporters in Pennsylvania;
1,200 professionals responded reveal-
ing that nearly 40 percent of those
responding had never, or had not re-
cently, been trained. The Speak Up
legislation and the state task force can
help to ensure that within Pennsylva-
nia, and in other states as well, caregiv-
ers and professionals will know their
duty. We should work toward standar-
dizing who reports, what must be re-
ported (e.g., suspected or known), how
such reports are to be made (e.g., to
child welfare or law enforcement or
both) and penalties for failure to re-
port.
The committee, however, would
offer a strong caution about focusing
solely on the reporting of child abuse.
Increasing the number of reports of
suspected abuse, without ensuring
adequate resources or the systems
capacity and effectiveness to respond,
would be noble, but might be danger-
ous to the children who really need the
systems attention.
The majority of reports about sus-
pected child abuse and child victimiza-
tion are directed to the states child
abuse hotline ChildLine. In 2010,
ChildLine answered more than 121,000
calls, but staffing and technology is-
sues contributed to a nearly 9 percent
rate of missed calls. If the calls to re-
port abuse go unanswered, investiga-
tions are not conducted, and service
delivery and therapy are delayed or
unavailable; we will have won the bat-
tle but lost the war.
Then there is the need for skillful
multidisciplinary investigation and
forensic interviewing that, when done
effectively, decreases invasive and
traumatic experiences for child vic-
tims. Childrens Advocacy Centers
provide such an approach. A multi-
disciplinary team, including law en-
forcement, child welfare workers, vic-
tim services and medical and mental
health professionals, work together in a
dedicated, child-friendly environment
to participate in a coordinated investi-
gation. Through this coordinated in-
vestigation, an interview is conducted
by a trained forensic interviewer to
gather the childs statements without
subjecting him or her to repeat ques-
tioning. Through the advocacy-center
model, expert and sensitive physicians
and nurses conduct the medical exam,
going to great lengths to help the child
feel safe, which is critical to the healing
journey.
Too many abused and vulnerable
children are never connected to effec-
tive cross-disciplinary investigations
and comprehensive interventions; this
is a compelling issue in need of atten-
tion and action in state and federal
halls of power.
We know that protecting our chil-
dren is not simply a matter of dollars
and cents, but we also know that words
alone will not keep children safe. Pro-
tecting Pennsylvanias children requires
that our words and legitimate outrage
are matched by prevention-focused
laws and a decision to direct scarce
public and private resources into ser-
vices that work and have demonstrated
they are effective at promoting the
safety, well-being and permanency of
children and youth.
Dr. Pat Bruno is the medical director for the
Central Susquehanna Valley Childrens Ad-
vocacy Center and Mary Ann LaPorta is the

Pennsylvania.
Comprehensive reform, resources needed to truly protect our children

Resident demands
open government
N
ow that the manner in
which the governance of
this city is handled has
been exposed, what is left to
believe? Who gave Wilkes-
Barre Mayor Tom Leighton
the right to choose what in-
formation can be obtained
freely by the public he serves?
Why does he feel that he has
the right to keep certain bits
of information from not only
the public, but also the city
council?
Why does he feel that he
alone can decide what goes to
the press and what does not?
Leighton said he makes
tough decisions, yet fails to
have former city administrator
J.J. Murphy reimburse the city
taxpayer for the security sys-
tem.
Where was our controller
when these expenditures were
made? Where are the records
and/or the minutes of council,
which must have approved
these expenditures?
When was the last complete
and true audit of the citys
finances made public? Why
did the council not vote on the
acquisition of the fire trucks in
question, yet had to vote on
spending the balance for the
Hollenback Fire Station?
The actions/inactions of
both the council and the may-
or generate more questions
than answers!
The people fighting corrup-
tion in city government will be
as tenacious as a dog with a
bone and continue to expose
things that otherwise would
never see the light of day. We
are fortunate in that we have
citizens in our midst with a
genuine concern for an honest
city government.
With the help of investiga-
tive reporting by our two daily
newspapers we will continue
to expose questionable prac-
tices at City Hall.
We want accountability,
transparency, honesty, equal-
ity, open records of public
concerns, accessibility and a
constant reminder to those
elected that you work for the
taxpayers and not for personal
gain.
Learn from the Luzerne
County Council regarding
perks for part-time work. The
taxpayers of Wilkes-Barre
cannot afford the luxuries that
council members traditionally
have given both themselves
and the mayor. It is difficult,
at best, to justify when many
people in our community can
barely afford the taxes.

Wilkes-Barre
Taxpayer holds
city accountable
I
t started out as a reasonable
right to know request by a
Wilkes-Barre taxpayer in
June: How many credit cards
does the city have, to whom
are they issued and what
charges are on them?
Since then, it has been quite
an experience that no tax-
payer should go through to
get to the truth.
While the Right to Know
Office has been very helpful,
there is much paperwork and
many rules and time restraints
that have to be followed. And
if a court hearing is necessary,
you are on your own.
Even though the process
was grueling, the results were
extremely eye-opening and
disheartening.
It is evident to me that the
city officials have a blatant
disregard for the taxpayers.
Besides extremely high
interest rates, there are hun-
dreds of dollars of late fees,
finance charges, charges for
working lunches in various
restaurants around the city
and other frivolous spending.
It is my opinion that there
should be only one credit card
issued to the city, and all
monthly statements should be
able to be viewed by the tax-
payers on the citys website.
The time has come for total
transparency and wise fiscal
spending in our city.

Pursue cleaner
sources of energy
P
resident Obama recently
denied TransCanada a
permit to build a 1,700-
mile pipeline from western
Canada across six states to oil
refineries in Texas, and con-
gressional Republicans are
boiling mad.
Congress had set a February
deadline for approving the
pipeline project, but President
Obama protested that the
deadline did not give his ad-
ministration ample time to
study the environmental im-
pact and potential dangers to
the health and safety of Amer-
icans near where the pipeline
would pass.
The president was between
a rock and a hard place. Labor
unions want him to approve
the pipeline, because it prom-
ises more jobs. But environ-
mental organizations objected
to the congressional deadline.
And President Obama came
down on the side of the envi-
ronmentalists.
You really cant blame the
congressional Republicans for
being angry. After all, they got
millions of dollars from pro-
pipeline lobbyists to make it
happen. If they cant deliver, it
could very well dry up future
rivers of revenue from other
special-interest groups. Never-
theless, President Obama did
the right thing. We really need
to protect the environment;
its the only one we have.
But perhaps wed do well to
just let Alberta keep her tar
sands. The energy required to
extract oil from sand is very
nearly as much as the energy
youd get burning fuel made
from that oil.
In any case, rather than
continue our dependency on
polluting, non-renewable
energy sources such as oil, the
United States must develop
clean sources of energy, in-
cluding wind, solar and ge-
othermal.
And talk about jobs. If the
federal government were to
offer homeowners a four-
figure, income-tax rebate for
buying and installing Amer-
ican-made solar panels on
housetops from sea to shining
sea, just imagine how many
jobs we could create!

Directive violates
religious freedom
I
n recent weeks, the Obama
administration finalized
regulations that will force
all Americans to purchase
health care plans that cover all
contraceptive methods in-
cluding those that cause abor-
tions. This latest directive
disregards the consciences of
many religious Americans
who view abortion as the
taking of an unborn childs
life.
The administration has
given religious institutions a
year to comply with this un-
just directive. Reacting quick-
ly to this intrusion into the
faith of many, Cardinal-desig-
nate Timothy Dolan observed:
In effect, President Obama is
saying we have a year to figure
out how to violate our con-
sciences.
The liberal mindset touts
the separation of church and
state argument only when it
suits its agenda. Liberals con-
veniently overlook a very
fundamental American free-
dom: the right to worship.
The First Amendment guaran-
tees that: Congress shall
make no law respecting an
establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise
thereof. Obama, the law
professor, should know this.
This totalitarian Obama
directive, in essence, squashes
the First Amendment rights of
religious Americans. It also
ties the hands of our religious
institutions that seek to pro-
vide health care according to
their principles and beliefs.
The government is forcing
citizens to choose between
foregoing necessary health
care protections or violating
their own consciences. Why
cant we have health care
without forcing all Americans
to financially support the
destruction of unborn human
lives?
This is an attack on the
unborn, the access to health
care and the enjoyment of
religious liberty.

Column leaves
reader indignant
I
have long been a regular
reader of The Times Leader.
The day I read Kevin
Blaums column Pathetic
keeping of dirty secret is un-
forgivable, (Nov. 13) was
when I stopped.
I found Kevins juvenile
name-calling of Penn State
football coach Joe Paterno
(JoePa-thetic) self-righteous,
sensational and without foun-
dation.
I cant imagine why he
would write such a biased
account of a man who has
impacted and contributed
more to the Pennsylvania
State University than any
other individual.
There is no question that
the entire situation was mis-
handled, but blaming the
football coach and throwing
him under the bus was not the
way the board of trustees
should have responded.
Thankfully, staff writer Bill
OBoyles column Monday
(Paterno: Penn State to the
end) provided a positive,
appropriate perspective. I was
drawn to the commentary
because it obviously was hon-
oring a man who deserved to
be venerated after devoting
his life to his Penn State fam-
ily which numbers millions!
If Mr. Blaum wants to blame
someone for keeping secrets,
how about starting with the
board of trustees that fired
Coach Paterno? Obviously, its
members swift action was to
appease certain media outlets
and hosts of moral high-groun-
ders who wanted a sacrificial
lamb. How about looking at
our esteemed governor, Tom
Corbett, who was attorney
general at the time of the first
allegations? How about look-
ing at the agencies in charge
of responding to the reports of
alleged abuse?
Does anyone really believe
that this one man is solely
responsible for not doing
more?
As a teacher and mandated
reporter of child abuse, I know
that hearsay is not an accept-
able form of reporting. Maybe
Joe could have done more,
maybe not. But I do believe
that others with more author-
ity than Paterno were cogni-
zant of the allegations. If a
legitimate investigation is
being conducted, the truth
about who covered up what
will be exposed.
The children who were
allegedly abused need justice
to be served.
Joe Paterno deserves to be
vindicated. He deserves to be
honored as the man who
helped the Pennsylvania State
University grow to achieve the
status it has attained among
major universities in this
country: academically, athlet-
ically and philanthropically.
He deserves to be remem-
bered as a man who repre-
sented good and honorable
actions and deeds. He will be

together, while others want tight-
er regulations.
The Environmental Protection
Agency is studying the issue and
may propose federal regulations.
The industry prefers that states
regulate the process.
Some states have banned it. A
New York proposal to lift its ban
drew about 40,000 public com-
ments an unprecedented total
inspired in part by slogans
such as Dont Frack With New
York.
The drilling industry has gen-
erally spelled the word without a
K, using terms like frac job or
frac fluid.
Energy historian Daniel Yergin
spells it fraccing in his book,
TheQuest: Energy, Securityand
the Remaking of the Modern
World. The glossary maintained
by the oilfield services company
Schlumberger includes only
frac and hydraulic fracturing.
The spelling of fracking be-
gan appearing in the media and
in oil and gas company materials
long before the process became
controversial. It first was used in
anAssociatedPress story in1981.
That same year, an oil and gas
company called Velvet Explora-
tion, based in British Columbia,
issued a press release that de-
tailed its plans to complete
fracking a well.
The word does not appear in
The Associated Press Stylebook,
a guide for news organizations.
David Minthorn, deputy stan-
dards editor at the AP, says there
are tentative plans to include an
entry in the 2012 edition.
He said the current standard is
to avoid using the word except in
direct quotes, and to instead use
hydraulic fracturing.
That wont stop activists
sometimes called fracktivists
fromrepeating the word as of-
ten as possible.
It was created by the industry,
and the industry is going to have
to live with it, says the NRDCs
Sinding.
Dave McCurdy, CEO of the
American Gas Association,
agrees, much to his dismay: Its
Madison Avenue hell, he says.

cial education students. But in
practice those requirements can
be interpreted differently across
the country.
If youhave a strugglingreader,
there are some schools and or
some states that will say immedi-
ately, were puttingthat kidinspe-
cial ed,saysAliceFarrell, director
of special education in Vermont.
There are other states, such as
ourselves, that say, Lets not do
that, lets diversify our education
andhandle it inthe classroom.
In Rhode Island, Elliot Krieger,
aspokesmanfor thestatesdepart-
ment of education, had no expla-
nation for why his state has the
highest percentage of students in
special education, a distinction it
has held several times in the past
fewyears.
StephenFrank, a director at the
private consulting firmEducation
ResourceStrategies, says that put-
ting too many students in special
educationis among the most inef-
ficientpracticesinall of education.
His company works with school
districts to help them make the
best use of their resources. He ad-
vocates for larger classes, co-
taught bybothgeneral andspecial
education teachers, or bringing
specialists into traditional classes
tohelpspecial educationstudents
rather than sending those stu-
dents out of the class for extra
help. He also suggests that dis-
tricts consider encouraging their
traditional teachers to get cross-
certifiedinspecial education, rath-
er than relying only on additional
special educationteachers.

Currently, statesget federal spe-
cial educationmoneybasedonfor-
mulas that consider general pop-
ulation and poverty numbers,
rather than the number of special
education students. But many
states give districts additional
money for each special education
student or service they provide,
which some lawmakers and re-
searchers think encourages over-
identification.

cial education students in New

ample, has somelawmakers inthe

ber of students and lets them de-

A census-based model, howev-
er, doesnt automatically mean a

special education. While four of
the seven states using that model
have special education percent-
ages below the national average,

Tracey Gold has been out of the
spotlight for a few years. Under-
standable. The former Growing
Pains star, 42, is raising four
boys with husband of 17 years
Roby Marshall.
But with the kids getting a
little older (Dylan, 3, Aiden, 7,
Bailey, 12, and Sage, 14) it was
time to get back into the scene,
in front and behind the cameras
for two projects. In Celebrity
Wife Swap, Gold traded places
with her friend, singer Carnie
Wilson, and in Starving Se-
crets, the recovered anorexic
documented various cases of re-
al-life eating disorders.
We chatted with Gold, who
wrote about her body-image is-
sues in 2003s Room to Grow:
own personal battle with anorexia in
the early 90s and wanted to bring
more awareness to help women and
show this problem in a bigger light
than it had been done previously.
The media tries to promote plus-size
models or women who dont look
emaciated, which is always a good
thing, but its definitely still a huge
problem. With the Internet, actresses
and models and TV hosts are scruti-
nized much more than ever. And its
not just the media commenting
its every Joe Schmo sitting at a com-
puter whos in a bad mood and just
wants to critique.
Q. What is a typical day like eat-
ing-wise for you?
A. I dont, like, live on a diet
that would be a bad road for me to
go down. There are of course days
Power Rangers, and the little ones
like Lego. It shifts from child to
child. I know we were painted in the
extreme on Wife Swap. Were not
as uptight as that. With four boys
you have to have order or else its
pure chaos; we try to keep it as orga-
nized as we can.
Q. Would you ever go for a fifth
child?
A. Its not out of the question. Id
probably need to win the lottery. ...
Raising four kids in L.A. is expen-
sive. You want to give them every-
thing that they deserve. But I would
love to have a little girl. Though I
dont know if thats in the cards.
Q. You also are seen on Starving
Secrets. Talk a little about that.
A. It was my idea. I created it from
the ground up with help from pro-
ducers of Intervention, who were a
good fit. I got involved due to my
An Appetite for Life.
Q. How was your experience on
Wife Swap?
A. It was a blast, without a doubt.
We didnt know what to expect, and
it turned out to be as positive an
experience as we could have hoped
for. I probably said no to doing it two
or three times. I was scared of what
it was going to be, and my husband
is very camera shy. They dont tell
you who you are swapping with, and
it was hard leaving my family for a
few days. Giving up the control was
also difficult. It was a huge leap of
faith. Ive been a pretty private per-
son, and we knew wed be opened up
to scrutiny. So far the reaction has
been very positive.
Q. How are things on the home
front? All settled down now?
A. My boys dont all have the same
interests. The first two are into

illa Bean is a Cupid in first
grade, learning to deal
with mean-girl Vivi at school
and with pain-in-the-wing big
sister, Ariel, at home.
Her hair is so wild and curly
she can stash in it a piece of
(still wrapped) moonbubble, a
rusty old key and the leftover
package of sparklemallows.
And, while grown-up Cupids
like her dad travel the world to
shoot golden arrows so people
can fall in love, Willa Bean is

The book has been out for just a few

I hold it and I look at it and I know I
wrote it, but I hardly believe it, she said.
Its a surreal feeling. I guess its like when
people have a baby for the first time.
To give life to her literary newborn, Benulis has created a
cast of intriguing characters.
There are demons and there are angels, some of the latter
pleasure-seeking and violent enough to shock readers who
might have grown up thinking of them as kind guardians.

HOROSCOPE
HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
There are certain aspects
of your life you used to
find distressing that you
now find merely interest-
ing. The facts are what
they are, and you have lit-
tle emotional attachment
to them.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
You dont like to admit
when youre wrong and
being slow to do so will
serve you well. Youre not
the only one responsible
for what has happened.
Take a moment to review
all sides.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
The conventional wisdom
suggests that the past
cannot be changed, and
yet, since it exists in your
mind, it changes all of the
time. The way you view
your history will transform
yet again today.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). Youre more likely to
believe what is entirely,
outrageously incredible
than buy into the boring
truth. This is a good qual-
ity now, as a bit of strange
fantasy will fuel your
motivation.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You
are not in the mood to
compromise. You wont
sell out your own interests,
and you feel the same
way about the rest of your
team. Your loyalty will be
rewarded.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Its
good to be charming and
even better to be charm-
ing with your own means
of transportation. Your
smile will get you the invi-
tation, but youll need a
car to get to the party.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
You value lively conversa-
tion. Sometimes, you have
to work a little harder for
it. The reading you do now
will help future interac-
tions. Also, take note of
the best bits of your day
to share with a trusted
friend later.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
If you want to do some-
thing well, save yourself
time and effort by going
straight to the one who
already has mastered the
skill. Imitate the master for
a while to learn the ropes.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). When arrangements
dont go as anticipated,
you wont judge or com-
plain. Instead, youll simply
observe the interaction,
taking note of how you
might, when and if you
feel like it, change your
approach.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). You want justice in a
matter, not only for you
but for all involved. Youre
willing to fight for what is
really right, even if it ben-
efits others more than it
does you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
If only tomorrows troubles
could be drained away
by worrying about them
today. But it doesnt work
that way. The only thing
that will be drained away
by worry is your energy.
Think positive and get in
motion.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Theres a beautiful view on
the horizon, but you may
be the only one to notice
at first. Youll be chal-
lenged to draw the atten-
tion of others away from
self-interest and toward
something magnificent.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Jan.
29). Youll make new
friends, and youll stay
with them throughout the
year. Your strength will
lie in balancing the many
different areas of your
life and making them jibe
together. Seize an excel-
lent opportunity in March
and turn it into a mon-
eymaker. A mentor will
point the way. July brings
romance and travel. Pisces
and Sagittarius adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 9,
12, 3, 25 and 19.
"OH, YOU!"

DEAR ABBY
Man wants to be able to
cook meals in peace
Dear Abby:
Im fortunate
to be married
to an amaz-
ing woman.
Theres just
one prob-
lem. Shes convinced that
Im going to burn down the
house. She constantly nags
me when Im cooking, even
when Im literally standing
over the pots. I find her tone
and the idea that I dont
know how to use a stove
insulting.
She insists I have the
burner on too high when
Im making spaghetti, and
it will somehow result in a
catastrophe far worse than
a ruined meal. I find it ex-
tremely annoying because
I am 30, served my country
honorably in Iraq, have been
making spaghetti since I was
12 and have never caused
any sort of kitchen fire.
My wife hasnt cooked for
me in more than a year. That
doesnt upset me because I
know she works hard to earn
money for our family. But if
she doesnt cook for me and
Im not allowed to cook for
me, then how am I supposed
to eat?
Is there anything I can do
to make my wife understand
that I can be trusted to make
a simple meal on a simple
stove?
Pasta Guy in Philly
Dear Pasta Guy: Probably
not, if you havent been able
to convey that message in
more than a year. So insist
that she stay out of the
kitchen while youre cook-
ing, or prepare your meals
after she has left for work.
Or expand your repertoire
beyond spaghetti and make a
salad instead.
Dear Abby: My mother
gives gifts sometimes
very generous ones but
always with strings attached.
She also keeps a record
of which recipients have
responded with appropri-
ate gratitude (cards, phone
calls) and those who have
not. Those individuals on
the not list are ridiculed
behind their backs.
My mother considers
herself a good Christian,
but I believe her actions are
selfish, and I have conflict-
ing emotions when I receive
gifts from her. What do you
think?
Conflicted in Wisconsin
Dear Conflicted: I think you
should always thank your
mother graciously and ap-
propriately for her generos-
ity when she gives you a gift,
if only because it is consid-
ered good manners.

you indulge. For me its about
more sensible choices. I dont
ever want to ever feel too de-
prived. I try to eat healthy
and not snack, because that is
one of things I like to do. I
still have a good metabolism
and walk every morning and
keep things in shape. I try not
to go crazy about it.
Q. Do you still keep in
touch with your Growing
Pains costars?
A. Through Twitter and
Facebook, yes, and if there is
an opportunity for a reunion.
Its always awesome. I have
really great memories of that
show. Theres real warmth be-
tween all of us. We couldnt
be more proud of Alan
(Thicke)s son (Robin
Thicke). I would be thrilled
to see Kirk (Cameron) and
give him a big hug. He does
his thing with Christianity,
and good for him. Whatever
you can say about him, he
walks the walk. Hes a really
good guy with a great wife
and a great family and has
done a lot of good things.
Q. Were you surprised at
how far Leonardo DiCaprio
has come?
A. He was 17 when he did
the show, but success was
right around the corner. He
got This Boys Life right
away, then he was nominated
for an Oscar (Whats Eating
Gilbert Grape). But I would
be lying if I said I thought he
would have become that big!
Titanic big.

Random House has recently
released Willa Beans Cloud
Dreams, in which the pluck-
iest Cupid in the clouds
learns to fly, and Be Brave,
Willa Bean, in which she
faces her fears about flying
high and flying in the dark.
Characters include Willa
Beans family, her best friend,
Harper, and her pet owl,
Snooze, who casually drops
into his conversation such
French words and phrases as
ma cherie (my dear) and
pas de souci (dont worry).
I hope to open up different
traditions and cultures, Ga-
lante said, explaining Willa
Bean can expect in future sto-
ries to visit many countries
and encounter many different
languages, customs and cele-
brations along with human
children.
During the past several
years Galante has become
well-known as a writer of
books for young adult and
middle-school students. Her
latest venture is aimed at the
primary grades, partly as a gift
to her daughter Sophia, who is
in first grade.
Shes very proud of herself
for thinking of the name Willa
Bean, which is short for Wil-
helmina Bernadina, Galante
said. She dubbed my little
heroine.
People might think writing
for a younger age group is fun
and easy, the author said. It
is fun, but its not easy. Every-
thing has to be so compact
and cohesive. You dont have
the leeway to have (the char-
acters) go off on a tangent and
think too much about any-
thing. Every word has to
count.
The author already has writ-
ten the third and fourth books
in the series, which she ex-
pects will be released, respec-
tively, in the summer and fall.
GALANTE
Star-
Bubble
Trouble,
the third
book in
Cecilia
Galantes
Little
Wings
series, is
expected
in book-
stores
this
summer.
other creature, a Jinn named
Troy, whose stealth and sharp
teeth come in handy when shes
tearing people apart and eating
them.
In the world she comes from,
its all about survival of the fit-
test, Benulis said, explaining
Troy will come across as a more
sympathetic character in the
second book. Its like when you
see a lion hunting a gazelle, you
might feel sorry for the gazelle,
but the lion is just doing what it
does.
I call this story gothic, Be-
nulis said, explaining she isnt a
fan of full-blown horror.
When I was growing up Id
watch a movie like Alien with
my dad. Stuff like that definitely
crept its way in there.
Archon is packed with ac-
tion scenes and keeps readers
guessing whether various char-
acters are heroes or villains.
People either love that or they
hate it, Benulis said.
The trilogy is aimed at
adults and older teens, and
the second book, with a tenta-
tive title of Covenant, is ex-
pected to be published next
winter.

Stewart ONan doesnt write
sweeping epics, doesnt delve into
places far away or times long past.
Instead, he peers deeply into the
personalthereallivesofrealpeo-
ple, their dreams andfears, their tri-
umphs, however small, and their
failings, however petty. In these
lives, heteasesout larger truths, the
truthswecanall relateto, evenif we
havent sharedtheexperience.
As an example, his 2007 novel

of the work, the

about the closing,

peoplebringtotheirjobswereallex-
ploredinawaythatneitherglorified
nor condescendedtotheworkers.
Withthis newnovel he has creat-
ed another exquisite gem. And he
doesit withhisusual precise, evoca-
tive, sometimes playful prose.
TheOdds focuses onArt and
Marion Fowler, long married but
for quite a while now not happily,
on the verge of divorce and bank-
ruptcy. Theyve decided to take
one last chance: a bus tripto Niag-
ara Falls to risk whats left of their
money on the roulette wheel at a
casino in a desperate attempt to
stave off foreclosure.
Not coincidentally, Niagara
Falls was where they spent their
honeymoon three decades earlier,
a fact that is in the back of both of
their minds, even as they have re-
signed themselves to separate
lives goingforward.
Each chapter heading in The
Odds is the odds of something,
fromwinninganOlympicmedalto
seeinga shootingstar tosurviving
aplungeover theNiagaraFallsina
barrel. Sometimesit relatesdirect-
ly to whats happening with Art
and Marion; other times the con-
nection is more oblique. Regard-

strates ONans attentiontodetail.

In her Diamond Jubilee year on Englands throne,

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina
British adventurer Felicity
Aston completed her crossing of
Antarctica on Monday, becom-
ing the first
woman to
ski across
the icy con-
tinent
alone.
She did
it in 59
days, pull-
ing two
sledges for
1,084 miles
(1,744 ki-
lometers)
from her
starting
point on
the Lev-
erett Gla-
cier on
Nov. 25.
!!!Con-
gratula-
tions to the
1st female
to traverse Antarctica SOLO.V
proud, her Twitter message
said.
She announced her achieve-
ment from Hercules Inlet on
Antarcticas Ronne Ice Shelf,
where she waited alone in her
tent for bad weather to clear so
that a small plane could pick her
up and take her to a base camp.
Other expeditions also have
gathered there, preparing for
the summers last flight off the
continent.
Aston also set another record:
the first human to ski solo,
across Antarctica, using only
her own muscle power. A male-
female team already combined
to ski across Antarctica without
kites or machines to pull them
across, but Aston is the first to
do this alone.
A veteran of expeditions in
sub-zero environments, Aston,
34, worked as a meteorologist in
Antarctica and has led teams on
ski trips in the Antarctic, the
Arctic and Greenland.
Her journey took her from the
Ross Ice Shelf, up the Leverett
Glacier and across the Transan-
tarctic Mountains to the conti-
nents vast central plateau,
where she fought headwinds
most of the way to the South
Pole. Then she turned toward
Hercules Inlet and a base camp
where the Antarctic Logistics
and Expeditions company pro-
vides logistical support to each
summers Antarctic expedi-
tions.
She arranged in advance for
two supply drops so that she
could travel with a lighter load,
one at the pole and one partway
toward her final destination.
Otherwise, her feat was unas-
sisted.
Aston tweeted that shes been
promised red wine and a hot
shower after she gets picked up.
No plane tonight but I have my
last Beef and Ale Stew to enjoy
for my final evening alone
yum! she
wrote.
And
while she
pondered
her
achieve-
ment in
her last
hours of
solitude
Monday,
she shared
more of
her
thoughts
in a phone
call she
broadcast
live online.
Its all a
little bit
over-
whelming.
After days
and days to get here, I seem to
have arrived all in a rush. I dont
really feel prepared for it. It feels
amazing to be finished and yet
overwhelmingly sad that its
over at the same time, she said.
I cant quite believe that im
here and that ive crossed Ant-
arctica, just over 1700 kilome-
ters, just under 1,000 nautical
miles, 14.5 degrees and 59 days
and here I am.
Im just going to sit here and
enjoy these last precious mo-
ments on my own, and running
through my mind all those days
behind me, the plane leaving me
on my own ... the awful day
when I thought I was going to
get blown away, all those days of
bad weather, slogging through
those mountains, up those hills
with my sledges, arriving at the
pole, leaving the pole again,
more bad weather and just emp-
ty horizons...
I remember all the bad times,
sitting in my tent, thinking
what on Earth am I doing?, but
despite all that, this has been the
most amazing privilege, to have
the opportunity to do this, and
just a huge thank you to all those
people who made it possible.

Skier sets record for solo Antarctic trek
ASSOCIATED PRESS
British adventurer Felicity Aston skied across Iceland during a pre-expedition training trip. Aston skied by herself across Antarctica,
completing the journey of more than 1,000 miles. She became the first human person to cross Antarctica alone under her own power.
She also set a record for the longest solo polar expedition by a woman, about 70 days.
Felicity Aston takes a picture of her-
self at Union Glacier days before she
traveled to her starting point on the
Ross Ice Shelf for a solo trek across
Antarctica. Aston, 34, crossed Ant-
arctica in 59 days, pulling two sledges
for more than 1,084 miles from the
Leverett Glacier to the Hercules Inlet
on the Ronne Ice Shelf. On Monday
morning, she tweeted that she has
completed her journey.
