WILKES-BARRE Some

students at Wilkes-Barre Ar-


eas GAR High School say the
assault involving a freshman
who nearly lost his hand from
a machete attack 10 days ago
was the result of rival tensions
between students of African-
AmericanandDominicanher-
itage.
While the incident may be
isolatedtooneschool, thebru-
tality of the offense has not
beenoverlooked.
City police officers warned
privately about hostilities be-
tween the different races that
havemovedintotheneighbor-
hoodinrecent years. During a
break at a hearing in Wilkes-
Barre Central Court two
months ago, a casual conver-
sationinvolvingofficers, a dis-
trict judge, a lawyer and a re-
porter centered on racial ten-
sions in the GAR neighbor-
hood.
Those officers predicted
some sort of violence, espe-
cially with teenagers and
young adults whom they de-
scribedas gang wannabes.

Police responded to a reported
armed robbery attempt at Ap-
pliance Parts Etc., 223 George

The store owner, who did not

He was allowed to and then left
the store, but returned moments
later, showed a black pistol and

WILKES-BARRE TWP.
Barnes & Noble in the Arena
Hub Plaza was abuzz on Satur-
day with the sounds of children,
interacting with therapy dogs,
completing coloring pages and
making puppets.
The activities were part of the
Wyoming Valley Montessori
School Parents Association
bookfair heldSaturdayandcon-
tinuing today to benefit the
schools extracurricular activ-
ities.
Patrons of the store simply
needed to indicate that they
wanted to support the book fair,
and a percentage of their pur-
chases were directedtowardthe
school.
"We sponsor over 50 such
events each year to benefit the
community," said Donna
Wench, community relations
manager at the store.
Principal Dennis Puhalla ex-
pressed appreciation at the
turnout for the event. He said
the school was an effort for area
children from 18 months
through sixth grade to reach
their social and academic po-
tential. The Montessori con-
cept is to allow students learn-
ing experience to be self-direct-
ed.
He said the Montessori sys-
tem fostered a love for learning
among students while also in-
stilling a sense of confidence
andindependence. Hesaideven
conflict resolution was some-
thing older students learned,
making adult intervention less
necessary. Graduates of the
Montessori systemseemto eas-
ily transitioninto other environ-
ments.
Puhalla retired two years ago
from the public school system
andnowcelebrates the opportu-
nity his new job gives him. He
also credits parents for fully par-
ticipating in their childrens
education.
Julia Godfrey, 6, excitedly
said that the school "gives her a
chance to learn."
Whenaskedwhat her favorite
thing about the school is, the
primary school student enthusi-
astically says "subtraction."
Both Julias parents, Keith
and Maria Godfrey, credit the
school withofferinga great edu-
cation, giving students the op-
portunity to learn at their own
pace.
Maria Godfrey, who also
teaches at the school, said, "I
love what I do.
"The children enjoy an great
environment at the school and
get great preparation for their
futures," said Heather Horsly,
mother of students Emma, 6,
and Will, 3.
Horsly was also volunteering
at the event, assisting children
inmaking dog puppets andtalk-
ing about the therapy dogs at
the event.
The school will use funds
raised during the book fair to
support such activities as a field
trip to the Franklin Museum in
Philadelphia.
The public can learn more

LAFLIN It wasnt a mob
scene, but a crowd turned
out for a trio of actors from
The Sopranos in town Sat-
urday night to take care of
some business.
Vincent Pastore, Tony Dar-
row and Joe Gannascoli
spent a few
hours at Ash,
the cigar bar
below the
Buca Del Vi-
no restau-
rant, signing
autographs,
posing for
photos and
enjoying
themselves
at the $50 a
person
event.
The three
men, known
for their
mobster
roles in films and the popular
HBO series, are playing off
their wise-guy personas in a
new show, Dinner with The
FoodFellas and came to
Northeastern Pennsylvania
to promote the recently
opened restaurant and
lounge on state Route 315.
Jonathan Walsh, a partner
in the venture, appreciated
the visit.
This is more of friends
coming out helping friends,
said Walsh.
More than 50 people min-
gled with the actors in the
dimly lit, smoke-filled
lounge, just the right place
for Gannascoli to shop his
handgun-shaped ashtrays.
He also had copies of his
cookbook/novel, A Meal to
Die For. Its loosely based
on his own life and includes
recipes.
I was a chef for 20 years,
he said, in cities such as New
Orleans, Boston, Los Angeles
and New York.
His experience in the
kitchen suits him well for the
food show yet to be picked
up by a network.
Were going to be going
out to restaurants, critiquing
and talking to their chefs,
said Gannascoli. And eating
too.
Darrow added the cable
network TLC is interested in
shooting seven episodes.
Jill Hertel of Dallas was in-
terested in shooting photos
of the actors.
She surprised her husband
Doug with a Valentines Day
gift of a ticket for the event.
He sat down with Pastore
while she took their photos
with her iPhone.
A fan of The Sopranos,
Doug Hertel relished the mo-
ment and the surroundings.
Its a great atmosphere,
he said.

morning at the Wyoming Valley
Mall to greet shoppers with en-
thusiastic smiles and provide
them with expert advice about
healthy living.
Shoppers sat to get their blood
pressure checked and answered
questions about their lifestyle to
help thembe healthier.
Thegroupwascomprisedof se-
nior level nursing students from

lege who were there as part of
community service necessary to
earn their degrees, according to
nursing instructor AllisonStone.
They put a lot of work into
this, Stone said.
They gathered pertinent re-
searchmaterial, conductedblood
pressure screening and generally
got the wordout, Stone said.
She anticipated about 200 peo-
ple would take advantage of the
community service.
There is a definite lack of
awareness about health, she
said. Manypeopledont knowthe
seriousness of the risks they are
facing by smoking, excessive al-
cohol consumption, overeating
or lack of exercise, she said.
Some are even afraid to get
their blood pressure taken be-
cause they are afraid of what it
might be, she said.
Scott Wibberley, one of the par-
ticipating nursing students,
helped coordinate the event. He
said some of the easiest things
that can be done to stay health in-
clude healthy eating, lowsodium
intake, exercise and smoking ces-
sation.

Resentencing in cat case
A woman charged with 48 counts of
cruelty to animals in a case where
prosecutors say she had 60 cats inside
her Swoyersville home in July 2011 was
resentenced in the case Wednesday
after admitting to a probation vio-
lation.
Aileen Kulpon, 49, who now resides
in Carbondale, appeared before Lu-
zerne County Senior Judge Joseph
Augello Wednesday, and was resen-
tenced to five years probation in the
case.
Prosecutors say
they revoked Kulpons
original probationary
sentence handed
down by a magisterial
district judge in No-
vember after she
failed to appear for
two scheduled ap-
pointments with probations officers in
Lackawanna County.
Kulpon had been jailed for a short
period and released after Wednesday.
Kulpon was charged after investiga-
tors went to her house on July 18 and
confiscated all of the cats because of
the deplorable conditions found there.
Walls and floors were soaked with
urine and feces. Several cats were diag-
nosed with feline leukemia and a few
were diagnosed with feline immunodef-
iciency virus (FIV). Some had to be
euthanized, investigators said.

PITTSTON Gino Tighe had $1 mil-
lion of flood insurance on his familys
metal fabrication business. It wasnt
nearly enough.
When the Susquehanna River over-
flowedits banks inSeptember, his Bene-
dict Street plant took on as much as 15
feet of water, which destroyed
machinery inside worth more
than $2 million. That didnt in-
clude damage to the building it-
self.
Tighes flood insurance the
maximum amount available
covered only $500,000 in loss to
the structure and another
$500,000 for building contents.
A Small Business Administra-
tion loan for disaster victims
would have helped recovery tre-
mendously, Tighe said on Friday,
but not at aninterest rate of 6 per-
cent.
Thats why Tighe spent the day in
Washington, D.C., on Thursday. He was
one of several people to testify before
the House Small Business Committees
Subcommittee on Economic Growth,
Tax and Capital Access.
The hearing, titled Examining the
Role of Government Assistance for Di-
saster Victims: A Review of H.R. 3042,
provided the subcommittee with infor-
mationonthe role of the federal govern-
ment inlong-termdisaster recoveryand
programs offered by state and federal
government.
After Tighe described his
dealings with the SBA, the sub-
committee heard expert testi-
mony about potential conse-
quences of legislation pro-
posed by U.S. Rep. Lou Barlet-
ta, R-Hazleton.
Barlettas bill, House Reso-
lution 3042 the Disaster
Loan Fairness Act, would cut
the interest rate on all SBA di-
saster recovery loans to 1 per-
cent for 30 years.
Describing the devastation
In his testimony, Tighe described the
devastation to his familys business and
the defeat inthe eyes of his father, Gene,
who started the business with his wife
Debbie in1989. We desperately needed
financial help because we werent con-
ducting any business and draining the
companys funds on the cleanup.
Thenhe tolda tale of dealing withthe
SBA, which requested the same records
four times over a 10-week period and
somehowdetermined that the business

hoped would be the first event towards
establishing a local network of individu-
als looking to take action to solve some
of todays most chal-

Representatives
from several local or-
ganizations hosted an
economic crisis pre-
sentation by Krystal

to helping the impov-
erished acquire the
tools to improve their
own situations.
The event focused
on the issues facing
the poor and working
classes today, such as
income inequality, un-
employment and stu-
dent debt. The inten-
tion was to show that
these national and
global problems fea-
ture local consequenc-
es and local voices could play a role in
helping to resolve them.

had only $79,000 in losses.
He explained how an official
withthe SBAtoldhis mother the
loan application was being with-
drawn because the forms we-
rent returned within seven days
of a letter being sent to the
Tighes. When his mother told
the official they received the let-
ter four days after it was dated
and that the time frame seemed
unfair, the official told her
Thats the way it is, Tighe said.
Tighe said state Sen. John
Yudichak, D-Plymouth Town-
ship, told him about a Luzerne
County Flood Recovery Loan
Program that loaned his busi-
ness $100,000 at 1 percent inter-
est and that the city of Pittston
hired a flood consultant to help
him and other flood victims.
The City of Pittston has been
very helpful, the County of Lu-
zerne provided us the loan that
saved our business, but the fed-
eral government failed, he said.
Others take the stand
Also testifying were Doug
Hoell, director of the North Car-
olina Division of Emergency
Management, who testified for
the National Emergency Man-
agement Association; Howard
Kunreuther, a professor of deci-
sion sciences and public policy
and co-director of the Risk Man-
agement and Decision Process-
es Center at the University of
Pennsylvania; and David Muhl-
hausen, research fellow in Em-
pirical Policy Analysis at The
Heritage Foundation in Wash-
ington.
In their testimony and during
a question-and-answer period,
Muhlhausen and Kunreuther re-
peatedly stressed that lowering
the SBA loan interest rate was
not the answer andthat business
owners should instead be direct-
ed to buy more disaster insur-
ance.
Muhlhausen said Americans
are becoming overly dependent
on federal assistance after natu-
ral disasters and called federal
disaster declarations a political
tool used in election years.
Barletta pointed to photos of
flood destruction in his district
and asked Muhlhausen if help-
ing the victims would be politi-
cally motivated.
Muhlhausen said Barlettas
bill would encourage businesses
to relocate in areas that experi-
ence disasters andthat business-
es should move to areas unaf-
fected by flooding when possi-
ble.
Barletta said California expe-
riences earthquakes, so should
everyone move from Califor-
nia? He asked Muhlhausen
what would happen to the fam-
ilies and employees of small
business owners such as Tighe
and their communities if they
did relocate.
Barletta looks at aid
Barletta pointed out that the
United States gave $215 million
in flood disaster relief to Pakis-
tan over the last two years. Did
we require them to have miti-
gation first, before we use Amer-
ican tax dollars? Know what
interest rate theyre paying? Not
6 percent, like we would have of-
fered Mr. Tighe. Zero percent. Is
that fair to the American tax-
payers? Barletta said.
And do you know what the
payback is? Barletta continued.
There is no payback. They
dont have to pay it back. So I
would tell Mr. Tighe, if he want-
ed to move, maybe we want to
say, Maybe you should move to
Pakistan, where we would have
offered a zero-percent loan and
you wouldnt have to pay the
money back. We are trying to
keep manufacturers and people
inbusiness, sir. We are not trying
to make a profit.
Barletta saidhes embarrassed
the federal government didnt
do more to help GT Fabrication
and other businesses in Pennsyl-
vania to re-open. At a time
when were trying to create a
pro-jobs, pro-growth environ-
ment at the federal level, SBAdi-
saster loan interest rates jeopar-
dize family businesses and
Northeastern Pennsylvania
manufacturingjobs. Thats unac-
ceptable, he said.

Muslim student probe broad
T
he New York Police Department
monitored Muslim college students
far more broadly than previously
known, including Yale and the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania.
Police talked with local authorities
about professors 300 miles away in
Buffalo and even sent an undercover
agent on a whitewater rafting trip,
where he recorded students names
and noted in police intelligence files
how many times they prayed.
Detectives trawled Muslim student
websites every day and, although pro-
fessors and students had not been
accused of any wrongdoing, their
names were recorded in reports pre-
pared for Police Commissioner Ray-
mond Kelly.
Asked about the monitoring, police
spokesman Paul Browne provided a list
of 12 people arrested or convicted on
terrorism charges in the United States
and abroad who had once been mem-
bers of Muslim student associations,
which the NYPD referred to as MSAs.
Browne sais police monitored stu-
dent websites and collected publicly
available information, but did so only
between 2006 and 2007.
VATICAN CITY
Cardinals increase by 22
Pope Benedict XVI on Saturday
brought 22 Catholic churchmen into
the elite club of cardinals who will
elect his successor, cementing the
Italian majority in a future conclave but
also giving New Yorks garrulous arch-
bishop a position of prominence.
Cardinal Timothy Dolan emerged as
something of the star of the consistory,
delivering a highly praised speech on
spreading the faith and mentioned in
some Italian media as an improbable
papabile, or having the qualities of a
future pope.Traditionally Americans
are ruled out as papal contenders, with
the argument that the world doesnt
need a superpower pope.
Seven of the 22 were Italian, adding
to the eight voting-age Italian cardinals
named at the last consistory in 2010.
As of Saturday, Italy had 30 cardinals
out of the 125 under age 80 and thus
eligible to vote in a future conclave.

Syrian security forces fired live

procession that turned into one of the
largest protests in Damascus since the
11-month uprising against President
Bashar Assad began.
The new violence broke out during a
visit by a Chinese envoy, who said his
country will back a solution to the
crisis based on proposals already put
forward by the Arab League even
though Beijing is unlikely to support
the regional blocs call for Assad to step
aside. Chinese Vice Foreign Minister
Zhai Jun urged dialogue and called on
all parties to stop violence.
CRANSTON, R.I.
Fund set up for teen atheist
A national association that says
theres no proof for the existence of
God is managing a scholarship fund set
up for a teenage atheist at the center of
a dispute over a prayer banner at a
Rhode Island school.
The American Humanist Association
says Jessica Ahlquist, 16, was targeted
with online threats after she challenged
the constitutionality of the display at
Cranston High School West.
A federal judge last month ordered
the banner removed. A school commit-
tee on Thursday decided not to appeal.
Blogger Hemant Mehta started a
campaign at the Friendly Atheist web-
site to raise money for Ahlquist.
The Friendly Atheist says the fun-
draiser, which runs through the end of
February, has brought in more than
$40,000.

VIENNAIranis poisedtogreatlyex-
pand uranium enrichment at a fortified
underground bunker to a point that
would boost how quickly it could make
nuclear warheads, diplomats tell The As-
sociated Press.
They saidTehranhas put finishing tou-
ches for the installation of thousands of
new-generation centrifuges at the caver-
nous facility machines that can pro-
duce enriched uranium much more
quickly and efficiently than its present
machines.
While saying that the electrical circui-
try, piping and supporting equipment for
the newcentrifuges was nowinplace, the
diplomats emphasized that Tehran had
not started installing the new machines
at its Fordo facility and could not say
whether it was planning to.
Still, the senior diplomats who
asked for anonymity because their infor-
mation was privileged suggested that
Tehran would have little reason to pre-
pare the groundfor the better centrifuges
unless it planned to operate them. They
spoke in recent interviews the last one
Saturday.
The reported work at Fordo appeared
to reflect Irans determination to forge
ahead with nuclear activity that could be
used to make atomic arms despite rapid-
ly escalating international sanctions and
the latent threat of an Israeli military
strike on its nuclear facilities.
Fordo could be used to make fissile
warhead material even without such an
upgrade, the diplomats said.
They said that although older than
Irans new generation machines, the cen-
trifuges now operating there can be re-
configured within days to make such ma-
terial because they already are enriching
to 20 percent a level that can be boost-
ed quickly to weapons-grade quality.
Their comments appeared to repre-
sent the first time anyone had quantified
the time it would take to reconfigure the
Fordo centrifuges into machines making
weapons-grade material.
Iran set for big nuke leap
Nation ready for an advance that
would increase how fast it could
produce nuke warheads, diplomats say.

CHICAGO Young people
want their music, TVand movies
now even if it means they get
these things illegally.
A recent Columbia University
survey found, in fact, that 70 per-
cent of 18- to 29-year-olds said
theyhadbought, copiedor down-
loaded unauthorized music, TV
shows or movies, compared with
46 percent of all adults whod
done the same.
With such an entrenched atti-
tude, what can be done about
widespread online piracy?
Certainly law enforcement has
gone after scofflaws like these,
hitting them with fines and, in
some cases, even jail time. Con-
gress is consideringcontroversial
anti-piracy bills that would,
among other things, forbid
search engines from linking to
foreign websites accused of copy-
right infringement. Andthere are
lawsuits pitting media heavy-
weights against Internet firms
notably Viacoms billion-dollar li-
tigation against YouTube.
But heres a radical notion to
consider: What if young people
whosteal content werent viewed
as the problem?
What if they and advocates for
maximum online access could
persuade the entertainment in-
dustry to loosen its tight grip on
its coveted, copyrighted material
quite the opposite of what the
industry is trying to do right
now?

NEWARK, N.J. Clapping hands and
swaying to gospel hymns in the church
where Whitney Houstons powerful voice
once wowed her congregation, some big
names in entertainment sang along with
the choir toremember the popsuperstar at
her hometown funeral Saturday.
Weareheretoday, hearts brokenbut yet
with Gods strength we celebrate the life of
WhitneyHouston, theRev. JoeA.
Carter told the packed NewHope
Baptist Church.
Mourners including singer Jen-
nifer HudsonandHoustons moth-
er, gospel singer Cissy Houston,
stood, swayed and clapped along
in the aisles. Gospel singers BeBe
Winans and the Rev. Kim Burrell
joined with pop stars like Alicia
Keys in paying tribute to the 48-year-old
pop superstar who first began singing in
the Newark church.
You wait for a voice like that for a life-
time, said music mogul Clive Davis, who
led Houstons career for decades.
The service had lighthearted moments
too Houstons cousin Dionne Warwick
offering short insights about the singer.
Others were more mournful; singer Ray
J., whospent timewithHoustonduringher
last days, broke down crying. His sister,
singer Brandy, put her arm around him.
Cissy Houston and Houstons daughter,
Bobbi Kristina, 18, clutched each other in
the front of the row.
As Houstons casket was carried out, her
hit I Will Always Love You played. Bobbi
Kristina began crying, and the sobs of
Houstons mother rang throughout the
church.
My baby! she wailed.
Stevie Wonder and Oprah Winfrey were
among the biggest names gathered to
mourn.
Warwickpresidedover thefuneral, intro-
ducing speakers and singers.
Houstons ex-husband, Bobby
Brown, briefly appearedat her fu-
neral, walking to the casket,
touching it and walking out. Se-
curity guards said Brown was up-
set that he would have to sit sep-
aratelyfromthepeoplehearrived
with, and left.
A Brown representative didnt
immediately comment.
I never told you that when you were
born, the Holy Spirit told me that you
wouldnot bewithmelong, CissyHouston
wrote her daughter in a letter published in
the program. And I thank God for the
beautiful flower he allowedme to raise and
cherish for 48 years.
Rest, my baby girl in peace, the letter
ends, signed mommie.

NEWYORKGasolineprices
have never been higher this time
of the year.
At $3.53 a gallon, prices are al-
readyup25centssinceJan.1. And
experts say they could reach a re-
cord$4.25 a gallonby late April.
Youre going to see a lot more
staycations this year, says Mi-
chael Lynch, president of Strate-
gic Energy & Economic Re-
search. When the price gets any-
where near $4, youreally see peo-
ple react.
Already, W. Howard Coudle, a
retired machinist from Crest-
wood, Mo., has seen his monthly
gasoline bill rise to $80 from
about $60 inDecember. The clos-
est service station is selling regu-
lar for $3.39 per gallon, the high-
est hes ever seen.
I guess were going to have to
drive less, consolidate all our er-
rands into one trip, Coudle says.
Its just oppressive.
The surge in gas prices follows
anincrease inthe price of oil.
Higher gas prices could hurt
consumer spending and curtail
the recent improvement in the
U.S. economy.
Gas prices are
highest ever
for early year
And experts say they could
reach a record $4.25 a gallon
by late April.

Over 32Years
Of Gold Buying
Experience
far in the unpredictable competi-
tion to pick a GOP opponent for
President Barack Obama.
A debate on Feb. 22 in Arizona,
the first in three weeks and possi-
bly the last of the GOP campaign,
adds to the uncertainty.
The political considerations are
daunting as Romney, Santorum,
Gingrich and Ron Paul weigh the
cost of competing in one state
against the hope of winning in a
secondor perhaps merelyrunning
well but gaining delegates in a
third.
Not all states are of equal im-
portance, said Steve Schmidt,
who helped the GOPs 2008 nomi-
nee, Arizona Sen. John McCain,
navigatethecampaigncalendar as
a senior adviser.
According to numerous strate-
gists inside and outside the cam-
paigns, the Michigan primary on
Feb. 28 shapes up as particularly
important contest asRomneytries
to fend off a charging Santorum
oneweekbeforea10-statenight on
Super Tuesday.
Yet of the13 states, Georgia has
the biggest delegate haul at stake,
76, and Gingrich can ill afford to
losenowwherehis political career
was launched in1978.
Sensinganopportunity, thepro-
Romney group Restore Our Fu-
ture is targetingGingrichintelevi-
sion ads in the state, hoping to de-
ny the former House speaker a
sweep of the delegates and leave
some on the table for Romney to
scoop up.
Not such maneuver is possible
in Arizona. There, all 29 delegates
go to the winner, and Romney, a
formerMassachusettsgovernor, is
heavily favored.
If youre the front-runner, and
inevitability or electability are
things that are driving the ballot,
its important to do a combination
of both win states and accumu-
late delegates, Schmidt said in an
interview, offeringadescriptionof
the situation that Romney con-
fronts.
For Romneys rivals, first-place
finishes are critical to creating or
maintainingtheimpressionof mo-
mentum, said Terry Nelson, who
was a top strategist for campaign
dropout Tim Pawlenty, a former
Minnesota governor.
Its going to
matter more for
Rick Santorum
and Newt Gin-
grich because
their campaigns
are more reliant
on cash flows
and they need
the victories to maintain that, he
said.
All candidates share one objec-
tive, headded. Yougofromwinto
win.
Texas Rep. RonPaul, the onlyof
the four contenders without a vic-
tory so far, eyes four chances to
break through: caucuses in Wash-
ington on March 3, and in North
Dakota, Idaho and Alaska three
days later. Anunusual presidential
campaign trip to Alaska is possi-
ble.
Nor are the candidates the only
ones working to shape the race.
Restore Our Future, the politi-
cal organization that supports
Romney and has devastated Gin-
grichwithattackads intwostates,
is turning its attention to Santo-
rum, a former Pennsylvania sen-
ator.
Already, the group has spent $5
million on television advertise-
ments combined in Arizona and
Michigan through Feb. 28, and
Ohio, Tennessee, Oklahoma and
Georgia through Super Tuesday.
A state-by-state list, with the num-
ber of delegates at stake in paren-
theses:
Feb. 28:
Arizona primary (29): The winner
gets all the delegates, and private
polling shows Romney well ahead.
Candidates gather in Mesa on Feb.
22 for their first debate in three
weeks.
Michigan primary (30): The relative
lack of suspense about Arizona
heightens the political significance
of Michigan, the first of the big
industrial states to vote in the Re-
publican race. Romney, who grew up
in the state, won it four years ago.
Santorums support in the polls is
rising statewide as well as nationally,
and he hopes for an upset that can
strengthen his chances on Super
Tuesday.
March 3:
Washington caucuses (40 dele-
gates): Santorum hoping for a victo-
ry. Three delegates go to the winner
of each of the states 10 congression-
al districts, an invitation for strong
competition.
March 6 (Super Tuesday, seven
primaries, three caucuses, 419 dele-
gates total)
Alaska caucuses (24): Delegates are
awarded in proportion to the state-
wide vote. Paul may fly there in
search of an elusive victory.
Georgia primary (76): Gingrichs
home state when he was in Con-
gress, and anything other than a
victory would resurrect talk of a
campaign exit.
Idaho caucuses (32): A large Mor-
mon population makes this a natural
fit for Romney. Santorum cam-
paigned there last Wednesday, Paul
on Friday.
Massachusetts primary (38): Rom-
ney could win all of the delegates in
his home state.
North Dakota caucuses (28): Santo-
rum made three stops in the sparse-
ly settled state in a single day re-
cently, and hopes to add it to his list
of earlier caucus victories in Iowa,
Minnesota and Colorado. Paul is also
hoping for success.
Oklahoma primary (40): Private
polling makes this a three-way
toss-up among Romney, Santorum
and Gingrich, whos targeting it as
part of a Southern-based revival
strategy.
Ohio primary (63): A big battle-
ground state, although the results of
the Michigan primary on Feb. 28 are
likely to reset the race instantly. As
elsewhere, Restore Our Future, the
pro-Romney Super-Pac, got the
jump in television advertising.
Tennessee primary (55): One of the
states Gingrich hopes will launch a
comeback, and polling currently
shows a competitive three-way race
in a state that allocates delegates in
proportion to the popular vote.
Vermont primary (17): The second
New England state on the ballot, and
the one with the fewest delegates of
all the Super Tuesday states. Rom-
ney is favored although the dele-
gates could be divided.
Virginia (46) : Romney figures to get
all the delegates for little effort, with
neither Santorum nor Gingrich on
the ballot.

Teachers are at the forefront
of recognizing warning signs
of gang activity among chil-
dren, experts say, as teachers
will become the students at a
gang awareness presentation
at Kings College on Thursday.
The presentation is spon-
sored by state
Sen. John Yudi-
chak, D-Plymouth
Township, and
U.S. Rep. Lou
Barletta, R-Hazle-
ton.
D. Darell
Dones, superviso-
ry special agent
of the Behavioral
Science Unit of
the FBI, will be
the featured speaker.
Teachers need to look at
the drawings on their students
books and on their tablets,
said Robert Maguire, chairman
of the Lackawanna County
Gang Task Force. A lot of
these kids doodle on their
books and their drawings will
say a lot.
Old Forge Police Chief Larry
Semenza said social media,
music and televisions shows
that feature gangs are a big
influence on children.
The rap industry is a big
promoter of the gang lifestyle
and so is Gangland on TV,
Semenza said. With this so-
cial media, these kids can ac-
cess rap music and shows any
time.
Maguire, Se-
menza and oth-
er panelists at
Thursdays
event will likely
provide a quick
reference on
what to recog-
nize.
Some other
tips are:
Certain col-
ors a student wears.
Using hand signals to
communicate with friends.
Has unexplained cash,
clothing or jewelry.
Exhibiting negative chang-
es in behavior.
Displaying a desire for se-
crecy from family.
The presentation at 6 p.m. is
free and open to the public.

be held Thursday at Kings College

lies, the black population
grew 67 percent in the last
decade, climbing to 567. The
Dominican population there
grew more than tenfold,
climbing from six to 70.
In 2000, blacks comprised
5 percent of the citys pop-
ulation while Dominicans
accounted for .3 percent. Ten
years later, blacks accounted
for 10.9
percent of
all Wilkes-
Barre resi-
dents, while
Dominicans
accounted
for 1.5 per-
cent.
In other
areas of the
Wilkes-
Barre Area
School
District
outside the
city, the
numbers drop dramatically.
Elsewhere in Luzerne
County, Hazleton has seen
its Hispanic population grow
exponentially over the last
decade.
There, Dominicans out-
numbered blacks 6 to 1 in
2010, with 6,266 Dominicans
living in city limits compared
to 1,003 blacks, according to
Census numbers.
And while the number of
blacks in Hazleton grew by
500 percent over the last
decade, the number of Do-
minicans in the city in-
creased 19-fold.

appointed professional manager
and 11-member part-time elected
council. The councils only invol-
vement in hiring: appointing the
manager andconfirmingtopdivi-
sion heads.
Politics removed
Those decisions are now
made by the nonpolitical manag-
er simply in the best interest of
the county, Haggerty said.
Charter drafter Christopher
Kersey concurred.
The whole point was to have a
professional, nonpolitical manag-
er whois goingtomake decisions
basedonwhats best for the coun-
ty not whats best for political
contributorsor apolitical future,
Kersey said.
The charter prohibits council
members fromlobbying the man-
ager on employment matters.
The county manager should
keep the council informed about
operational decisions, but up-
dates at county council meetings
and executive sessions should
generally suffice, Haggerty said.
Council Chairman JimBobeck
said he learned about Gilligans
furlough from a newspaper and
has no problem with that. He be-
lieves many still wrongly believe
council members have some sort
of veto power over the managers
personnel actions.
Unless something major
arises, the manager can update
council about his progress at its
meetings, Bobeck said.
The manager should not
waste his time giving daily up-
dates to council. The managers
job is not to appease council, he
said.
Pribula is scheduled to brief
council about the layoffs that
have been initiated during an ex-
ecutive session at Tuesdays
council work session, Bobeck
said.
After-the-fact is critical be-
cause that will demonstrate it
was the manager making the de-
cision without council interfe-
rence, Bobecksaid, notingthe11
council members cant be ac-
cused of playing favorites or at-
tempting to safeguard anyone
connected.
Morelli caught off guard
Councilman Rick Morelli, also
a charter drafter, said council
members and the manager must
develop a communicationplanto
ensure council members stay on
top of important developments.
Council members cant intervene
in the managers decisions but
must monitor his performance,
he said.
Morelli said he was recently
caught off guard when he and his
wife went todinner inthe Wilkes-
Barre area and were approached
by two county workers who told
him they had been laid off due to
budget cuts.
He said he understands the
separation of power between the
council andmanager but feels un-
comfortable as a council member
when it looks like we have no
idea of whats going on.
We have to have this fine line
between letting the manager do
his own job yet holding the man-
ager accountable by asking intel-
ligent questions, Morelli said.
Pribula, who will serve as man-
ager until Robert Lawton as-
sumes the role Feb. 29, said he is
comfortable making personnel
decisions because its what he did
as amanager intheprivatesector.
Culture shock
Its takingmebacktotheproc-
ess Im used to, but to those who
never worked any place except
Luzerne County and govern-
ment, its a culture shock, Prib-
ula said. Many feel they need to
goaroundthemanager andspeak
to council members.
Pribulasaidtheideaof running
proposedlayoffs by council mem-
bers never even crossed my
mind.
Theyre not supposed to influ-
ence you. I dont feel like I needto
run a process by them or seek
some sort of approval from them
for normal courseof business, he
said.

ELLIPTICALS
Are there gang members in ar-
ea schools?
The superintendents of Lu-
zerne Countys three largest dis-
tricts say yes, almost certainly.
Id be nave to say we have no
gang members, Wyoming Val-
ley West Superintendent Chuck
Suppon said, a sentiment echoed
by Wilkes-Barre Areas Jeff
Namey.
Are those members conduct-
ing gang business in the schools?
The three men, who oversee
more than 22,000 students, have
different opinions. Both Namey
and Suppon said they believe
there is no significant gang-relat-
ed activity in their schools.
Theres no clear evidence of
any gang activity in our schools,
Suppon said. He noted that it is
difficult for gang members to
wear colors because the dis-
trict has a fairly narrow dress
code. But then,
he added, gang
members have
learned not to
be obvious in
schools pre-
cisely because
staff and law
enforcement
are on the lookout for signs of
gang activity.
We try to have our staff keep
abreast of the issue, but theyre
one step ahead of you all the
time.
Hazleton Area Acting Superin-
tendent Francis Antonelli, on the
other hand, was unequivocal in
acknowledging gang activity
within his schools, which have
seen a dramatic change in demo-
graphics as families of numerous
ethnic backgrounds, particularly
Hispanic, moved into the area
many from large cities.
What weve seen, unfortu-
nately, is that schools are merely
a reflection of the communities
in which they serve, Antonelli
said, adding once gangs came to
the Hazleton Area, their activ-
ities inevitably spilled into the
schools.
It also has been spilling into
younger grades.
We see it beginning at the
fifth- and sixth-grade levels, An-
tonelli said.
In fact, the district previously
ran a program in those grades to
teach gang resistance and aware-
ness. Money for the program ran
out, and the district is seeking
more funds.
The district is also trying to
secure grants to pay for another
law enforcement officer on the
multi-building campus that
houses ninth through 12th
grades and the Career Center.
Currently, one state police offi-
cer and a district resource officer
are there full time.
While student education and
staff training can help prevent,
spot and curb gang activity, An-
tonelli said in the end there are
some students who get so
caught up in the culture the only
option left is to involve law en-
forcement.
We have excellent relations
with the Pennsylvania State Po-
lice and the Hazleton City po-
lice, Antonelli said. Police ded-
icate officers to this job. They do
an exemplary job in ascertaining
the pulse of the activity, of know-
ing who the players are, and of
monitoring the activity very
closely so they can do what they
need to do.
Hazleton Area also launched a
gang task force last year that has
met twice the next session is in
March and has consistently
drawn representatives from po-
lice departments, the district at-
torney and public defender.
Were bringing the issue to
the table, Antonelli said, Were
trying to formulate strategies to
address the issue, and we are
pursuing grant money.
Officials: Gang members likely attend area schools

come from, said Robert Maguire, chair-
man of the Lackawanna County Gang
TaskForce. Wannabes arethemost dan-
gerous of all. They want to be part of
something; theywant todosomethingto
get noticed.
Immore afraid of the wannabes than
the real gangs because theyre trying to
be something theyre not, said James
Marinello, an adjunct criminal justice
professor at Kings College and a former
Luzerne County probation officer who
has interviewed gang members in Los
Angeles, San Francisco, Miami and Chi-
cago.
Real gangsters know what will bring
the police down on them. These wan-
nabes have that I dont care attitude and
will do anything to get that reputation,
he said.
Unfortunately, the vio-
lence that city police offi-
cerspredictedinlate2011in-
volved a 15-year-old boy
near GAR on Feb. 9. Police
said the victim is black and
the attacker, Juan Borbon,
19, is Hispanic.
Police late Friday night
chargedBorbonwithswing-
ing the machete and Yansy
Abreu, 16, as an accomplice
for carrying the weaponina
bag, according to the crimi-
nal complaint. Borbon re-
mains at large.
Abreu was charged as an
adult with multiple charges
of aggravated assault, sim-
ple assault, assault with a
deadly weapon and conspiracy. He re-
mains jailed at the Luzerne County Cor-
rectional Facility for lack of $250,000
bail.
Assistant District Attorney Mary Phil-
lipssaidFridaynight Abreuisconsidered
a flight risk. Sheadded, Wedohavecon-
cerns about possible ganginvolvement.
PolicesaidAbreuandBorbonarefrom
the Dominican Republic. Abreu, a stu-
dent at the Alternative Learning Center
inPlains Township, has beeninthe Unit-
ed States for about a year and was resid-
ing on Wyoming Street, Wilkes-Barre,
police said.
Borbon resided in Wilkes-Barre in
2008, according to a court record. It was
not immediately known where Borbon
hadrecently lived.
Police suspect Borbon fled the area
andmay be inNewJersey.
Awitness to the attack identified Bor-
bon from a photo array that included a
picture fromWyoming Valley West High
School, police said.
The witness claimed Abreu, Borbon
and others were outside GARand ran to-
ward a group of black juveniles. A fight
erupted as a black juvenile was on the
ground being kicked, the criminal com-
plaint says.
The victim attempted to pull the boy
away fromthe group when Borbon came
frombehind and swung the machete, se-
verelyslashingthe15-year-oldswrist, po-
lice allege.
Battle for control
Students, ontheotherhand, saytheas-
sault was about power and control
among the young people.
At times there are racial tensions,
yes, said Wilkes-Barre Area Superin-
tendent Dr. JeffreyNamey. I cant saywe
donthaveracial tensions. Isitsomething
outof ourcontrol oraretheregangsinthe
school?Whensomeoneasksmearethere
racial tensions, I havetosayyes. Not only
at GARbut other schools, too.
Sincethevicious assault that occurred
35 minutes after school
dismissal and off
school property police
have heightened patrols
aroundthe school.
There have not been
any incidents in the af-
termath of the assault,
said Drew McLaughlin,
administrative coordi-
nator who spoke for Po-
lice Chief Gerard Des-
soye. Until the police
department investiga-
tion is complete and
they are satisfied that
the incident and any po-
tential residual effects
have been concluded,
the police department
will maintain an in-
creased patrol presence as a precaution-
ary measure.
Immediately after the assault, Mayor
Tom Leighton asked people to refrain
from speculation about motivations and
allow police to do their job and investi-
gate.
Inside the school, the frequency of
scanning students entering GAR with
hand-held metal detectors has been
steppedup since the machete attack.
Namey said screenings are randomly
conducted in the other two city high
schools, CoughlinandMeyers.
Influxof minorities
A contributing factor that leads to in-
creased violence and delinquency in and
around schools is the influx of families
moving to Northeastern Pennsylvania
fromthe bigger cities, experts say.
Withthe culture movingintothe area
fromNewYork and NewJersey, some of
thesekidsareexposedtogangsinthebig-
ger cities, Maguire said. They know
what the gangs are about inthe bigger ci-
ties and how they act. When they move
here and enroll in school, these kids are
newandthey feel like theyre a bigfishin
a small pond.
OldForge Police Chief Larry Semenza
said families from bigger cities are at-
tractedtotheregionduetothelowercost
of living.
The demographics in Northeastern
Pennsylvania have changedinthe last 20
years, Semenza said. The home-grown
families are dying off or moving away,
leaving their houses to be sold and turn-
ed into apartments and duplexes. When
families fromthe bigger cities move here
because its cheaper to live and work
here, they bring that bigger city lifestyle
andmindset withthem, havinggrownup
inthat culture.
Maguire, Marinello and Semenza be-
lieve the problemof turf battles between
different ethnic groups, especially in
schools, has been growing for years
throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania,
fueledinpart by the illegal drug trade.
Areport releasedlast April titled, The
EasternPennsylvaniaDrugGangThreat
Assessment, outlines the growingprob-
lem of gang violence and drug traffick-
ing. It waspreparedbytheNational Drug
Intelligence Center,
In many eastern Pennsylvania com-
munities, the nature of drug distribution
by gangs that originatedinthe NewYork
areahasshiftedfromoccasional andtran-
sient operations to those that are more
permanent and established, the report
says.
Maguire, Semenza and Marinello said
organizedstreet gangs recruit younger
kids as youngas10and11years oldtobe-
come involvedingang warfare.
That recruitment has been happening
in schools across the region for some
time, they said.
Maguire said the youngest gang mem-
ber he has interviewedwas11years old.
That kidwaslegitimate, heknewalot
of therules,Maguiresaid. Hewasafoot
soldier from New York living the gang
lifestyle here.
A few people in nationally known
gangs have told me that their members
are reaching out to high school kids and
evenyounger sotheycouldmoldthemin
their teachings, rules and regulations.
Thats why they recruit targeting kids of
anearly age, Maguire said.
For Marinello, the youngest gang
member he encounteredwas 8.
A report by the National Youth Gang
Center in 2005 states gangs require
recruitment for prolonged survival in
populatedareas.
We dont have major gang activity in
the schools, Namey said. I knowBrian
Lavan (director of security for Wilkes-
Barre Area) is monitoring that pretty
constantly. Hes saying as far as orga-
nized gangs in the schools, we dont see
that. Thats not to say members of gangs
dont come into the school. That would
be nave.
Lavan could not be reached for com-
ment, but Namey said most of the stu-
dents at GAR are phenomenal while a
fewhavecreatedabadimagefor thehigh
school.
Thats typical inanyschool inanydis-
trict,Nameysaid. Avast majorityof the
students are great and are tainted by a
small group doing what they want. We
needto address that.
Rural areas affected
MaguireandMarinellobelieverecruit-
ment has stretchedinto rural areas.
Im seeing more schools in the coun-
try reaching out to me for information,
Maguire said. Its just not in the cities
anymore.
All kinds of things are going on in
schools we never thought would hap-
pen, Semenza said. Ten years ago, we
never thought we would have the prob-
lems we have today. Not just in the
schools in the cities but also in the
schools inthe outskirts.
Lavan, along with Maguire, Semenza,
DavidJ. Tosh, director of secondary edu-
cationat Wyoming Valley West, andTay-
lorPoliceChief LeonardMickaviczJr. are
panelists at a presentation Thursday fo-
cusing on gang activity in schools. The
presentation is scheduled for 6 p.m., in
the Burke Auditorium of the McGowan
School of Business at Kings College.
Semenza said the presentation is the
second in a series of five community
meetings since the federal report about
gangs in Eastern Pennsylvania was re-
leasedlast year.

isa Bachman is the rehabilitation director at Riverstreet Manor in
Wilkes-Barre. Bachman, 35, is a graduate of Crestwood High School
and earned her Bachelor of Science in Psychology fromthe Universi-
ty of Scranton. Lisa earned a Masters Degree in Occupational Therapy
from Misercordia University. She and her husband, Stephen, have a
daughter, Abigail, 3 and son, Owen, 6. They live in Drums.
You have been with
Genesis Healthcare
for two years. What
have been your
duties with the
company during that
time? I am currently
the program manager
at Riverstreet Manor
and I oversee the ther-
apists and help with
treatment plans. I work
with the entire team
there in managing the
short-stay rehabilitation program
and discharge planning. I was re-
cently promoted tosenior manag-
er of three other facilities in the
company.
You mentioned the team.
How is it working with the staff
at the various facilities? I al-
ways feel that it is the people
around you that make someone a
better person or leader. The staff
in this company is composed of
exceptional individuals who have
done that for me.
Before you got into the
health care field, what jobs did
you do growing up? I actually
delivered papers for The Times
Leader when I was younger. I
would walk the routes and deliver
the papers that I carried in my
satchel. During college I was a
hostess at Chilis restaurant. I also
worked as a CNA in Mountain Top
and that is when my passion to
help others really kicked in.
Was there any other moment
or inspiration that propelled
you into the field? I had a
friend who had to endure a long
recovery after being in an auto-
mobile accident. I witnessed her
recovery and therapy first hand
and decided that I wanted to be
the person that helped someone
through the healing and recovery
process. I was proudof her andthe
fact that she went on to have a job
and engage in everyday activ-
ities.
Speaking of activities, what
are some of your favorites? I
love fitness activities. I really en-
joy running. I have participated in
half marathons and plan on being
part of more events in the future. I
also love to play the piano.
Have you ever traveled
abroad? I have been to London
and Scotland. I love the cultures
and scenery in those places. They C

MEET LISA BACHMAN
I
was checking out the drugstore
magazine rack when I heard a famil-
iar voice.
Hey, I realize its a Wyoming Valley
winter, but you look too glum even for
that.
It was my buddy, Alner.
Alner, I sighed. Theres only one
way to explain to you the blue funk I
feel right now after looking at these
magazines.
Within moments, thanks to my pow-
ers of metaphysical travel, we were
heading down a local street in the early
1950s.
Is this going to take long? he
asked. I rented a movie for tonight,
and
Alner, I said, did you ever hear of
EC Comics?
You brought me back here to show
me some comic books? he asked,
open-mouthed.
Well, you asked what was bothering
me. Just a couple of days ago I read
that John Severin had died, at 90. He
was a famous designer and illustrator
in the golden age of the American
comics industry the 1940s and the
early 1950s. With the EC company he
helped to start and design Mad maga-
zine, the only remaining relic of those
times.
Alner nodded. I have heard about
those days.
Youre about to hear some more, I
said as we entered a neighborhood
grocery and I ushered him toward the
magazine rack.
He gave a whistle of amazement.
Look at all those titles, he gasped.
Horror comics, war comics, sci-fi
comics, crime comics, westerns, fanta-
sy. I wish I could have been a kid back
then. He picked up a copy of The
Haunt of Fear and leafed through it.
Darn good drawing, he said. Really
scary stuff. Would have kept me awake
all night.
I laughed. Take a look at this. I
opened up a science-fiction comic and
showed him a story predicting an in-
ternational space station and a Mars
probe. The next tale was a grim one
about Earth getting blown up, and all
its civilization being lost, because peo-
ple thought war was a solution instead
of a problem.
This is pretty heady stuff, he said.
And kids were buying and reading
this?
For ten cents you traveled a uni-
verse of the mind, I nodded.
I realized the storekeeper was staring
at us.
Two double dips of chocolate, I
called, handing him a shiny quarter.
Outside again, we strolled down the
street.
What happened to all those great
old magazines? asked Alner, licking
his cone, as we began our return to
2012.
Some people got the idea that com-
ic books were rotting kids minds and
turning them into juvenile delin-
quents, I said. A psychologist, Dr.
Fredric Wertham, wrote a book called
Seduction of the Innocent in which
he said as much. Would you believe
that even the U.S. Congress held hear-
ings on the menace of comics? Edi-
torialists thundered against them.
Moms and dads began throwing away
their kids stashes of reading matter.
Stores dropped them.
Alner stared, amazed. And so the
comics industry went kaput?
Exactly, I said. The EC company
converted Mad from a comic to a
glossy magazine, and thats how it
survived the national purge of news-
stands.
Imagine all the kids who never had
the chance to be inspired by imagina-
tive reading, said Alner.
Thats right, I nodded. Hey, I just
remembered that quarter I gave the
storekeeper 60 years ago had 2012
and an image of the space shuttle on
it.
Alner grinned, a big smear of choco-
late on his face. Sounds like a good
sci-fi tale to me.

ILKES-BARREThe newchair-
woman of the board that over-
sees Mohegan Sun Arena says
keeping the public informed of what the
board is doing is one of her top priorities.
Donna Cupinski was elected chairwo-
maninJanuary after serving four years on
the Luzerne County Convention Center
Authority and chairing a committee that
oversaw major improvements at the 11-
year-old facility situated in Wilkes-Barre
Township.
When it was pointed out that she was
the first woman to hold the post, Cupin-
ski, 46, of Dallas Township, said she
hadnt considered that fact, but she was
honored to have the designation.
Past board chairmen include former
Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Business and
Industry president Steve Barrouck, for-
mer state representative Kevin Blaum,
businessman and former county Republi-
can Party vice chairman Patrick Judge,
and local Teamsters Union officer Patrick
Connors.
Mentioning those names makes me
even more proud, Cupinski said.
Despite a history of board chairmen
with numerous political and business
ties, Cupinski said shes glad that politics
hasnt played a fact in board decisions, at
least since shes been a member.
When I applied, I certainly thought
you had to know somebody to get on the
board. I felt, I guess, that there were some
political favors. I can speak only for my-
self, but in my situation, Im not involved
in politics. I never donated a dime to any
political campaign. So I dont think any-
body could refer to me in that respect,
Cupinski said.
With regard to the others, I guess
some might have beenwhat youcall polit-
ical appointments. But when it came to
board business, they were100 percent on-
page that the board is run honestly and
withdignity. Andfromwhat I saw, I didnt
thinkthere was anything(political) going
on and I still dont. I think that they did a
really good job of keeping politics out of
the arena, she said.
No perks or politics
Cupinski recalled a newspaper article
that mistakenly stated arena board mem-
bers got free tickets to shows there and
free parking passes.
If anybody came for that reason, they
found out quickly there were no free tick-
ets, Cupinski said. One of my goals as
chairman is to seek avenues and do what-
ever I can to let the public knowwere not
there for free tickets. There are no perks
that come with the job. Maybe after a
meeting well have a sandwich or some-
thing, but you can get sandwiches any-
where.
The free tickets that are arranged for in
some contracts are given to big advertis-

Tom Grace - Voice of the Penguins
WOW
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) from very high up in the press
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!

OUT-OF-TOWN
BIRTHS
were just wonderful and dif-
ferent experiences. I would
still like to see Germany or Ha-
waii someday. I like to go to
places with a rich history and
beautiful scenery.
How about in Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania, any fa-
vorite places to get away
to? My family loves to go to
Jim Thorpe. The old streets
and stores are part of its
charm. My children like the
trains there.
If you are going out or
cooking at home, what meal
and drink do you prefer? I
like seafood in general or any-
thing with crab meat. Ill take a
Mojito as my drink.
Do you have a favorite
book? I love most anything
by Nicholas Sparks. I enjoyed
A Walk to Remember and
The Guardian in particular.
Any favorite quotes? I
sort of came up with this one
on my own, I believe it to be
original. You need to em-
brace change because with
every change there is
growth.
You mentioned liking
fitness-related activities.
Do you have any favorite
sports? I played volleyball in
high school and I enjoy watch-
ing football, especially the
Cowboys.
Favorite athlete? I liked
Troy Aikman. However, I would
have to say Emmitt Smith
overall.
How about music? The
Dave Matthews Band.
What was your first car
and what made it special to
you? It was a red 1994 Sat-
urn. I bought it new and used
what I earned delivering pa-
pers to help pay for it. It was
funny because people were
clapping as I left the dealer-
ship with it.
What would you say are
some of the proudest mo-
ments of your life? Ill say
that watching my kids growup
together and what they have
accomplished already stands
out the most. They are so well
mannered and I love them ve-
ry much. In regards to my
work, I am very proud of the
Program Manager of the Year
award that I won. I was picked
out of approximately 50 man-
agers in my field of work.
MEET

ers or in trade for services or
equipment, she said.
Andwhile she says shes not po-
litical, that doesnt mean she
doesnt have leadership experi-
ence.
Cupinski took an interest in a
board position following nearly
two decades of service with the
Back Mountain Jaycees since she
was 20 years old, progressing
through the ranks from a district
director toregional director, state
vice president and finally presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania Jaycees.
Demands of her business and
a fear of flying kept her from
running for a national Jaycees
vice president post, she said.
Youre assigned to certain states
and, withmy luck, Idendupwith
Alaska and Hawaii.
Throughout that time, she be-
came active in the Luzerne Coun-
ty Fair and eventually became a
member of the fair board of direc-
tors. After her leadershipwiththe
Jaycees came to an end, she took
on more responsibility with the
fair and served as board chairwo-
man for nine years.
So, when I get involved with
something, obviously I like to
give it my all.
After her tenure as fair chair-
woman ended, she recalled, she
was driving past the arena one
day with her father and thought
she might like to be on the board
that oversees the facility.
It was 2008, former county
commissioner Maryanne Petrilla
had just taken office and the com-
missioners were accepting letters
of interest and resumes frompeo-
ple interested in serving on coun-
ty boards and authorities.
Cupinski felt that the fair and
the arena were similar in several
ways. And they had a lot of con-
tracts coming up for renewal. I
thought maybe I couldoffer some
of my guidance in that direction,
she said. She mailed a letter of in-
terest along with her resume and
soon received a phone call from
Petrilla.
She said, Donna, yousent us a
letter expressing interest. I
thought she was going to ask me
to come in for an interview, but
she said, Well, we appointed you
yesterday. So that was a nice sur-
prise, Cupinski said.
Change for the good
Over the past four years, Cu-
pinski has chaired the Bylaws
Committee and Future Direc-
tions Committee.
The bylaws needed to be up-
dated mostly because the county
was adopting a new council/ad-
ministrator form of government,
andthat wouldaffect howauthor-
ityboardmembers areappointed.
The Future Directions Com-
mittee was Cupinskis suggesti-
on, given that board members
had been frustrated by the fact
that there was no capital budget
andnot muchmoneyavailablefor
repairs to the venue, which was
approaching its one-decade anni-
versary.
Some major projects accom-
plished by the Future Directions
Committee include paving of a
section of the parking lot, repair
of pedestrian bridges that span
the gully between the arena and
the parking lot and the construc-
tion of Styx Sports Bar on the are-
na concourse.
Paving of the lot had kind of
fallen by the wayside after a
$200,000 federal grant fell
through, but Cupinski pursued the
matter with former U.S. Rep. Paul
Kanjorskis office, the state Depart-
ment of Transportation eventually
approved the project funding, and
the work was completed in Sep-
tember 2010.
The remaining unpaved section
of the lot is the biggest complaint
from arena patrons, Cupinski said,
andmore pavingwill be done if and
when revenue becomes available.
After authority solicitor Murray
Ufberg mentioned to the board
that stimulus money might be
available for municipal authorities,
Cupinski began doing Internet re-
searchandfounda grant for munic-
ipal authority projects that would
better the community.
When you think of all that the
arena has done for the community,
I felt it was our turn to ask the com-
munity for something, Cupinski
said. The authority was awarded a
$177,550 state grant with assist-
ance from former state Sen. Bob
mellow and the bridges were re-
paired.
Future plans
In October, the arena opened a
new $240,000 sports bar in a for-
mer concession space that had
been doing minimal business.
SMG the arena management
company and arena general man-
ager Rebecca Bonnevier worked
veryhardontheproject andthebar
exceeded my expectations. Im ve-
ry proud to say its part of our are-
na, Cupinski said.
Her hopes are that more smaller
shows a little too big for the F.M.
Kirby Center can be brought into
the arena. Her favorites are come-
dy acts and comedians.
Cupinski said the economy has
hurt business at the arena, but its
still doing well financially. We did
better than our budget projections,
but numbers are still coming in,
she said.
She creditedthe rest of the board
and SMG staff for their hard work
to keep the arena running success-
fully.

S
omehow, some way, the biggest
game Meyers could play was
going to end up in the hands of
Ryan Krawczeniuk.
It nearly slipped out of his grasp,
when Krawczeniuk banged his leaning
jump-shot off the front of the rim and
straight into enemy hands.
So here came GAR, feeling new life
on its home floor, down three points
with 20 seconds to go and one more
big chance waiting for the Grenadiers.
Then Krawczeniuk stole it away.
He jumped a pass headed for Darrell
Crawford, GARs best three-point shoo-
ter, and Krawczeniuk took it the other
way for a layup that iced the Wyoming
Valley Conference Division II title for
Meyers with a 45-38 victory. For good
measure, Krawczeniuk cut short GARs
final possession with another steal,
meaning the Mohawks junior point
guard pretty much took matters into
his own hands when it counted most.
Just instinct, Krawczeniuk said.
You get the sense Meyers doesnt
always rely on its tremendous basket-
ball talent and tenacity to win titles.
Sometimes, you win them by simply
playing smart.
Even during the moments that leave
players feeling pretty stupid.
I knew as soon as I shot it, I
shouldnt have, Krawczeniuk said of
his missed shot that gave the Grena-
diers one last shot.
GAR called a timeout right after
that, Meyers coach Pat Toole said.
He (Krawzeniuk) had his head down.
I said, Make a play. And boy, he comes
up with a steal.
For the longest time, it appeared
Krawczeniuk was robbed of his impact.
Stymied early
One of the teams top scorers, he was
held without a field goal by GARs tight
defense until a half-second before half-
time, when Krawczeniuk dropped a
three-ball that sent Meyers into in-
termission with a nine-point lead.
But through the drought, and what
would wind up as a nine-point night for
him, Krawczeniuk proved his lead-
ership by stepping aside. He didnt care
who was making baskets, as long as
someone from his team was.
I believe in my teammates, Krawc-
zeniuk said. Its a team effort.
Most of his effort went into finding
the open man and playing defense.
One of the great things about bas-
ketball, Toole said, you dont have to
score to contribute.
Both teams gave great effort Friday
night, starting with GAR coach Paul
Brown who kept his team hanging
around to the end and Toole, who
didnt allow his players to panic after
GAR ran off the first seven points.
Meyers received big points from Alex
Pape and veteran poise from Rasheed
Moore, especially when the Mohaws
needed it in the first quarter.
They nearly needed a fire ladder to
contend with GARs 6-foot-10 Christian
Skrepenak, who owned the second
quarter with seven points. And the 10
points GAR forward Isaiah Frances
scored didnt come close to defining his
night, because the defense he played
smothered Meyers scoring machine
Eugene Lewis. And the final two bas-
kets Frances hit a three and a tip-in
during the final three minutes nearly
rallied GAR all the way back.
You play GAR, Toole said, theyre
going to make runs.
But the Mohawks ran into the night
with their third straight division title
and eighth straight victory over their
fierce city rival.
I dont know, on paper, were very
equal, Krawczeniuk said.
The Mohawks, though, have the
greatest equalizer. They have the kid
whos most clever when it counts.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
The pack is back. And so is the
Big One.
Kyle Busch edged Tony Stew-
art ina thrillingfinishof the first
race of 2012, using a sling-shot
pass Saturday night on the last
lap of the exhibition Budweiser
Shootout to beat the defending
NASCAR champion to the
checkered flag.
It gave Busch a victory in a
wild race that saw him use two
incredible saves to stay in con-
tention at Daytona Internation-
al Speedway.
The event was a preview of
next weekends season-opening
Daytona 500, and showed that
NASCAR has successfully bro-
ken up the two-car tandem rac-
ing that dominated restrictor-
plate racing last year. Fans were
overwhelmingly opposed to
that style of racing, and NAS-
CAR worked hard through the
offseason to develop a rules
packagethat wouldseparatethe
cars.
It was obvious at thestart that
thenewrules workedas thecars
were lumped in a big pack from
the drop of the green flag. It led
to the first multi-car accident a
mere nine laps into the race
whenDavidRagannudgedPaul
Menard to trigger the nine-car
accident.

the lead at halftime and took control
from there.
The Colonels closedout the regular
season with a decisive 74-60 win over
rival Kings on Saturday at the Marts
Center.
By finishing off a season sweep of
the Monarchs, Wilkes securedthe No.
2 seed and a home game in the up-
coming Freedom
Conference tourna-
ment.
Kings saw its sea-
son end at 9-16 and 4-
10 in league play.
Wilkes (16-8, 9-5)
will host No. 3 East-
ern on Wednesday in the semifinals
while top-seeded Misericordia hosts
No. 4 FDU-Florham.
It will be the Colonels first home
playoff game in three years.
It didnt really matter who we
played today the guys knew we had
to win the game to play at home on
Wednesday, Wilkes coach Jerry
Rickrode said. Thats what it really
came down to. It didnt come down to
rivalries and all that kind of stuff. It
came down to we just had to win the
game to play at home Wednesday.
You know how big that is in the
playoffs, just mentally.

TOM GRACE
Penguins broadcaster
We changed things up a bit for this
weeks Fantasy GM, leaving the Penguins
locker room for the broadcast booth,
where we asked Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
broadcaster Tom Grace to give us his
fantasy team.
But the changes didnt end there. The
voice of the Penguins has a wealth of
hockey knowledge and is well-versed in
the history of the game. So rather than
limit Grace by allowing him to pick only
active players, we let him choose any
player from any era.
The result? Well, Grace certainly had a
lot to say and he put together a team
filled with Hall of Famers a group of
players who, in their prime, would be
unstoppable.
Since Grace took time out away from
the broadcast booth to play Fantasy GM
for us, we gave him a bonus category
Best Announcer. Fitting, isnt it?
FORWARD Mario Lemieux (Pitts-
burgh), Im not sucking up to the boss
here, but Mario was the best combina-
tion of size, speed, skill, productivity and
effectiveness. What more could you
want in a forward?
DEFENSEMAN Bobby Orr (Boston,
Chicago), The greatest player who ever
lived.
GOALTENDER Jacques Plante
(Montreal, N.Y. Rangers, St. Louis, Toron-
to, Boston), He played for so long and
he played on so many winning teams in
Montreal. And he always kept his top
spot no matter who challenged him.
POWER PLAY SPECIALIST Phil
Esposito (Chicago, Boston, N.Y. Rangers),
He was the best net-front player who
ever played. Nobody could snipe from
the slot like he did.
PENALTY KILL SPECIALIST Dave
Keon (Toronto, Hartford), Arguably the
greatest Leaf in terms of body of work.
Everyone always told me he was the
best penalty killer.
Honorable mention Milt Schmidt
(Boston), He did everything well and
was the most complete two-way center-
man. He was always a plus player before
they kept plus-minus.
SHOOTOUT SPECIALIST Mario
Lemieux (Pittsburgh), The size, speed,
moves, stickhandling and talent made
him the most complete forward. If youre
a goalie, Mario in his prime is the last
guy you want to see coming at you on a
breakaway.
ENFORCER Dave Brown (Philadel-
phia, Edmonton, San Jose), He did it for
years and his overall body of work is
exceptional. A great character guy and
one of my favorite people in pro hock-
ey.
Honorable mention Tony Twist (St.
Louis, Quebec), In his prime, he was the
scariest player. When he won, he won
big.
AGITATOR/PEST Bobby Clarke
(Philadelphia), He played with so much
tenacity. He would hack and slash, but
he was such a good player. He broke
Valeri Kharlamovs ankle to win the
Summit Series.
HEAD COACH Al Arbour (St. Louis,
N.Y. Islanders), Class and dignity, that
was Al Arbour. He took the Islanders
from nothing to the most complete
hockey team dynasty ever.
TOP ACTIVE PLAYER Sidney Cros-
by (Pittsburgh), Hands down. Sidney
Crosbys work ethic, leadership, talent
and ability make him the overall best
hockey player in the world.
TOP ANNOUNCER Bob Wilson
(Boston Bruins radio), He lived on my
street (in Massachusetts) and I remem-
ber seeing him drive by in his sky blue
Cadillac on his way to Bruins games. I
would think That guy has it made. He
was my inspiration for what Im doing
today and he is the best retired an-
nouncer of all-time.
Fantasy GM
Geoff Walker was 13 years
old playing for his pee wee
team in Charlottetown,
Prince Edward Island, when
he scored the game-winning
goal in overtime against
Sherwood, a rival team from
a nearby town.
As Walker was celebrating
the goal, he got drilled from
behind by a Sherwood player
who was actually a friend of
his who lived up the street.
The hit broke Walkers leg
and, needless to say, the
friendship ended.
Welcome to Maritime
hockey.
With the exception of
Sidney Crosby, the Canadian
Maritime provinces of PEI,
Nova Scotia, Newfoundland
and New Brunswick may not
be famous for producing slick
goal scorers and elite goal-
tenders.
But they sure do produce
plenty of hard-nosed hockey
players.
The Wilkes-Barre/Scran-
ton Penguins have a few,
including Walker. Theres
also Zach Sill and Alex
Grant, who both hail from
Nova Scotia. The most fa-
mous Maritimer to wear a
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton jersey
was Dennis Bonvie, who is
from the same hometown as
Grant Antigonish, and just
happens to be the most pe-
nalized player in professional
hockey history.
So what makes Maritimers
so tough?
Many of them say it has to
do with their upbringing in
small Canadian towns.
It started with our par-
ents, Grant said. It was
always a tough, blue collar
area of Canada. Back in the
day there were a lot of bar
fights, but not gangs or any-
thing like that. Just hard-
nosed people having fun
doing it.
Its Maritime pride and we
still have it.
Walker, who grew up on
PEI to the north of Nova
Scotia, agreed with Grants
assessment. Fighting was a
way to settle differences, he
said. There was no beating
around the bush, and its an
approach that carried over to
the ice as well.
If you have a difference
with someone, you take it
outside and you settle it.
Everyones held account-
able, Walker said. Thats
the way everyone plays the
game up there to. Its just the
way we were born and raised
and its a little different than
most places.
It doesnt mean that the
Maritime towns are laced
with violence. Rather, they
are steeped in pride and
respect, something that led
to bitter rivalries between
the proud towns.
Grant said once he was old
enough to play pee wee mi-
nor hockey and hitting was
allowed, those rivalries got
really heated.
Minor hockey is war, he
said. I played against Siller
and his team growing up. We
lived an hour apart and it
was always a rivalry. It was
crazy the wars that were
going on in the province. Its
just the way hockey was
played.
Grant compares those
early rivalries to the one that
is shared by the Penguins
and Hershey Bears today. If
youre from Antigonish, he
said, you hated the teams
from Truro and Pictou, for
example. And the feeling was
mutual.
Sill grew up in Truro and
remembers the bitter rival-
ries fondly. They were heat-
ed, he said, but its not like
Nova Scotians are tougher
and meaner than other peo-
ple.
Its the competitiveness
nature that fueled the intense
rivalries, Sill said.
That, in turn, produced the
tough style of play in the
province.
Were Maritimers. We just
dont hold back our emotions
when we get worked up, Sill
said. Since we were young
weve been playing that way.
Were not shy about dropping
the gloves.
Perhaps thats why its no
surprise that Antigonish
produced hockeys all-time
penalty minute leader in
Bonvie. During his 15-year
pro career, which included
five seasons with Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton, Bonvie
dropped the gloves with
virtually every notable heavy-
weight in hockey. Now a
scout for the Chicago Black-
hawks, Bonvie has noticed
the trend of tough players
that come out of his home
province.
Its more than a coinci-
dence, he said, and it has to
do with the way they grew
up.
Most of the guys, includ-
ing myself, have worked so
hard to get there. Nothings
taken for granted and you
grew up just fighting for
everything you get, Bonvie
said. Maybe us Maritimers
have a slight chip on our
shoulder. We had to work
and scrap just to keep forking
ahead.
All we make (in Nova
Scotia) is superstars (Cros-
by) and tough guys, he
joked.
But even the Maritime
superstars such as Crosby,
who is from Cole Harbour,
had to grow up tough.
Walker remembers going
to watch Crosby play when
his minor team would have a
game in Prince Edward Is-
land. Even though he was
just a teenager, everyone in
the Maritimes knew how
talented Crosby was, in-
cluding his opponents.
You might as well have
painted a target on his back,
Walker said. Hed be playing
against kids three years older
and theyd be trying to kill
him. But he always came out
on top because he was just
that much better.
Like the Antigonish and
Truro rivalries that Grant
and Sill were a part of, Walk-
er grew up in the midst of
the heated battles on PEI.
Whenever Walkers team
from Charlottetown would
take on clubs from nearby
towns like Sherwood, Sum-
merside and North River,
things would get heated.
They were big battles and
real dirty teams, Walker
said. I remember some of
the games in pee wee, I cant
imagine how people got away
with some of the things they
did to each other.
Things like breaking an
opponents leg.
After enduring the hit that
broke his leg following his
overtime goal against Sher-
wood, Walker spent the next
several months on the mend.
He patiently waited to settle
a score against his friend that
leveled the hit.
Once my leg healed up in
the summer, I caught up to
him and we settled it, Walk-
er said. We were never good
friends again, but we settled
our differences.
And they did it the Mar-
itime way.

Unique upbringing leads
Pens trio to pro careers

Right winger Geoff Walker works behind the net against
Syracuse.
Aside from growing up in
the maritime provinces of
Nova Scotia and Prince Ed-
ward Island, Geoff Walker,
Zach Sill and Alex Grant also
share another common bond:
they all went through the
Quebec Major Junior Hockey
League before turning pro.
Affectionately called the
Q, the QMJHL produced
some of the biggest names to
play in the NHL, such as
Mario Lemieux, Ray Bour-
que, Patrick Roy and Luc
Robitaille.
The league also produced
some of hockeys toughest
players as well. Matthew
Barnaby, Sandy McCarthy,
Donald Brashear, Peter Wor-
rell and Jody Shelley all
fought their way through the
Q before becoming top
NHL enforcers.
Even as the league has
been known as a haven of
goaltender development, as
well as scoring stars, its a
tough league and it made
hard-nosed players even
harder when they turned pro.
In my opinion, its the
toughest league. You have
the Maritimers and the play-
ers from Quebec, said Walk-
er, who spent four seasons in
the QMJHL. You have to
learn to protect yourself right
away and it opened my eyes
a bit.
Grant spent four seasons
in the QMJHL, beginning
when he was 16, and logged
a total of 324 penalty min-
utes. Most of Grants fights
during that time were
against fellow Maritimers, he
said, including one bout
against Walker and two with
Sill.
I had a couple of fights
when I was 16, and I kept
progressing and getting more
confident with it, Grant
said.
Sill spent two seasons in
the QMJHL and said young
players coming through the
Q and other junior leagues,
such as the Western Hockey
League that Ryan Craig
played in, have an advantage
in the fisticuffs department
over their counterparts com-
ing up through the college
ranks.
The guys in college dont
have the opportunity to fight.
Theres a lot of tough guys
that have played college, but
when they came out they
didnt necessarily have the
experience in fighting that
the guys did coming out of
the Q or other juniors, Sill
said.
That experience prepared
Sill for the rough stuff in the
pro ranks.
My first year here, Greg
Amadio came after me. It
was kind of intimidating, but
I did alright and that gave
me confidence at this level,
he said.
Walker said the physical
style of the QMJHL taught
him not only how to fight,
but how to protect himself as
well.
Everyone likes to talk
about the west (Western
Hockey League) when it
comes to toughness, but a lot
of tough guys have come out
of the Q, Walker said.
Q known
for more
than great
goalies

LEHMAN TWP. In the late
1960s, Lake-Lehman began the
Lake-Lehman Invitational as a
year-end tournament for junior
high wrestlers.
After a fewyears, the event was
taken over by District 2 and was
known as the end of the season
district tournament on the junior
high level.
As part of cutbacks, the district
dropped junior high postseason
play in all sports last year. That
paved the way for the Lake-Leh-
man Invitational to make its re-
turn.
When the event first started
onlyeight teams participated. On
Saturday, just 10 teams were in-
volved.
Were repeating old times. Its
like wearing old corduroys they
go out of style and then they
come back in, Lake-Lehman ju-
nior high coach Jim Rosencrans
said. It was a good turnout.
The event was held on Satur-
day at Lake-Lehman, but was
held under a black cloud with re-
ports of the varsity programs
skin infection problem. Prior to
the health issues, 17 teams were
committed to participate, but
programs begandroppingrapidly
and only nine teams joined the
host Black Knights for the tour-
nament.
This despite the fact the risk of
infection was no different than
any other event these wrestlers
might participate in.
Stuff happens and I under-
stand parents concerns. Their
kids come first and I understand
that, Rosencrans added. We
hadnoissues withthejunior high
program. There were issues in
the varsity program, but thats
skin-to-skin contact.
On the four mats two new
mats giventocoordinators by the
National Guard, one which was
in storage all season and the oth-
er was fromthe junior high wres-
tling room there were compet-
itive matches despite the show-
ing.
One of the most interesting oc-
currences came from Lake-Leh-
man 85-pound seventh-grader
R.J. Driscoll, who was in a brack-
et with just two other grapplers.
So he showed his competitive-
ness by throwing out challenges
to the 80-pound champion, Ho-
nesdales Devon Todd and the 90-
pound champion, Wyoming Ar-
eas Mitchell Higley. Both brack-
ets only had two wrestlers com-
peting so both challenges were
accepted as exhibitions.
Its amazing to see a kid want
it and just say come on lets do
it, Rosencrans added. Hes just
a seventh-grader and for a kid to
go out and do that, I give the kid
credit. He came here to wrestle
and thats what he did.
All 18 weight classes were full
brackets withat least14wrestlers
prior to the teams pulling out. In
addition to 80, 85 and 90 being
low in numbers, 155 was also
scarce with just three grapplers.
The other 14 groups had at least
four participants, with seven
classes consisting of at least six
athletes. One wrestler was turn-
ed away at weigh-ins because of a
skin discrepancy.
West Scranton captured the
team championship scoring
160.50points, outscoringsecond-
place Scranton by 16.5. Pittston
Area was the topWyomingValley
Conference team placing fourth
with 116 points, while Lake-Leh-
man was fifth with 101.
Scranton led the way with six
gold medalists and Honesdales
four titlists were second-most.
For the WVC, Wyoming Area
crowned three champions. In ad-
dition to Higley, eighth-graders
Pat Heck took first at 100 and
Charlie Johnson won the 130-
pound bracket for the Warriors.

Invitational makes
return despite fears
Some teams drop from event
even though participants
faced no abnormal danger.
By DAVE ROSENGRANT
drosengrant@timesleader.com
Williams said. I think were
handling this thing as progres-
sively and as thorough as we
can.
The team even pulled two
wrestlers from todays junior
varsity tournament at GAR out
of respect for other participants.
Even though the JV participants
were not infected, Williams
didnt try for an early clearance.
Lake-Lehman postponed a
meet last month due to one in-
cident and then cancelled a dual
against Wyoming Valley West
last week once the problem
arose again.
We did that for another team
so that the other kids wouldnt
be in harms way, Williams add-
ed. We still get some criticism
and even from some people in
our own program.
I know of several other Dis-
trict 2 schools that have had her-
pes and one school had five in-
stances, and that wasnt all over
the front page of (another) pa-
per.
A junior high tournament was
held at Lake-Lehman on Satur-
day and the coach was on hand
to help run the event and make
sure the appropriate skin checks
were made prior to competition.
I met with officials before-
hand to have skin checks before
this tournament and told the
kids that youre not going to get
this (infection) from the mat
and you will only get it on skin-
to-skin contact, Williams said.
We have to make sure as a dis-
trict and conference that checks
become more thorough, like
looking through athletes hair
and making sure that every-
thing is OK. Because thats the
only way to make sure were all
good.
Routine skin checks are done
before every dual and tourna-
ment by the working officials.
While referees and other tourna-
ment officials my be veterans
and are familiar with certain
types of skin infections, some-
times they arent the most thor-
ough.
Williams has an idea to make
the process more careful.
I would be in favor of a doc-
tor being there for big tourna-
ments for peace of mind, he
said.
The next big tournaments are
this weekend with the District 2
Class 2A and 3A events on Fri-
day and Saturday. The Black
Knights will participate in the
Class 2A event, which is slated
to be held at Lake-Lehman, and
the coach expects to have nearly
a full lineup. The 3A event will
be held at Hazleton Area.

Freedom Conference play.
Kings (21-4, 13-1), meanwhile,
advances to the conference tour-
nament as the top seed and will
host Eastern on Wednesday in
the semifinals. Misericordia will
host the other semifinal against
four-time defending champion
DeSales.
The 13 league wins are a pro-
gram record for Kings.
Were excited, Kings coach
BrianDonoghue said. The word
weve been using with this group
is proud. Were very proud of
what weve been able to accom-
plish so far.
With the victory Saturday,
Kings won for the 28th time in
the last 29 games inthe city rival-
ry.
Guard Katlin Michaels hit a
pair of early threes and led three
Kings players in double figures
with 15 points and eight assists.
FreshmanMarissa Manningadd-
ed 12 and seven rebounds, fol-
lowed by 11 points from Paige
Carlin.
Though they were eliminated
from the postseason hunt earlier
in the month, the Lady Colonels
caused headaches for teams
down the stretch, playing De-
Sales tough on Tuesday.
That was the script on Satur-
day as well. Wilkes led for a good
bit of the first half, playingstrong
defense andblanking Kings for a
stretch of four-plus minutes.
An Elena Stambone three put
Wilkes up 26-20 with 3:40 left in
the first, but the game swung
around immediately afterward.
Aputback by Manning ignited
a 14-0 run to end the half as the
Lady Monarchs were able to at-
tack the basket in transition and
put the Lady Colonels on their
heels.
We made good decisions in
those last four or five minutes at
both ends of the court, Donogh-
ue said. I thought that was a real
solid stretch of going from de-
fense to offense.
Were hoping that the maturi-
ty for next season will help us
stay focused when teams go on
runs, Heery said. Thats our
biggest problem. When a team
makes a run, we dont always
have the confidence to stop it.
Suddenly down 34-26 at the
break, Wilkes was unable to re-
cover until late in the second
half.
Stambone led the Lady Colo-
nels with 16 points. Megan Kaz-
merski had 12 while Angela
Palmerio scored 10.
All but one player senior
Whitney Connolly, who was hon-
ored before the game is eligible
to return next season for Wilkes.
That includes mainstays such
as Kazmerski and Amanda Paw-
lowski, as well as a group of
freshmen led by Stambone and
forward Allison Walsh, the
teams leading scorer and re-
bounder, respectively.
That run we made at the end
was with a lot of underclassmen,
which is very positive, Heery
said. Everyone contributed
when we started coming back.
We wanted to be respectable
down the stretch in the league,
and I believe we did that. I think
we showed a lot of maturity, es-
pecially inthese last two games.

From a mental perspective,
the Colonels were just happy to
have a game that didnt raise the
blood pressure at the end.
Wilkes had played three straight
contests that more or less came
down to the last shot a win at
Eastern sandwiched between
losses to FDU-Florham and De-
Sales.
Wilkes also had to endure a
late collapse at Delaware Valley
that allowed the Aggies to over-
come a nine-point deficit in the
final minute before winning in
overtime.
The guys, weve absorbed (a
lot), Rickrode said. We had
three of those little, one- or two-
point losses. But like I said to
the guys after the game, Youre
16-8. Thats what you were. Now
weve gotta go on and be 1-0 on
Wednesday.
On senior day, the Colonels
three senior starters all finished
in double figures, led by center
Kendall Hinze, who posted a
double-double (20 points, 14 re-
bounds) while going 8-of-8 from
the free-throw line.
Fellowcaptains Paul Huch (15
points, nine boards) and Matt
Mullins (11 points, five re-
bounds, four assists) also came
through. A fourth senior who
was honored before the game,
reserve Todd Eagles, missed the
game with a knee injury but
should be ready for the playoffs.
Wilkes came out by knocking
down its first three shots from
behind the arc but gradually
worked more down low as the
half went along.
When the shots didnt fall, the
Colonels were often able to get
to the foul line, scoring 11 of
their first 25 points from the
stripe. They finished the game
21-of-32 on free throws.
Up 33-27 at halftime, Wilkes
kept the pressure on when play
resumed, quickly building the
lead up into double digits,
where it remained for much of
the afternoon.
You look at the end of the
first half, we have the two mis-
sed lay-ups and the missed
jumper and were down six,
Kings coach J.P. Andrejko said.
Right there it was a tight game
instead youre down six.
Then we get off to a slow
start to start the second half. We
dont score again, and all of the
sudden six goes up to 12. And
thats it. Were fighting back,
fighting back, fighting back (the
rest of the way).
Freshman Tim OShea racked
up 12 points and eight rebounds
to lead Kings in both catego-
ries.
The Monarchs will move on
without senior starters Kyle
Stackhouse and Nick Reisig, the
former having started for all
four seasons.
Returning will be a group that
includes Kyle Hammonds last
seasons conference freshman of
the year andpromisingrookies
like OShea and Keyton Winder.
While the Monarchs were
happy to see those young play-
ers develop this season, their
sights as a team remain higher.
Individually, yes, there was
definitely improvement and
thats what youre hoping for,
Andrejko said. But team-wise
we always talk about getting to
the playoffs, winning champion-
ships. I dont care if its all fresh-
men or all seniors, thats what
you come in here for.

workout of the spring. On Satur-
day, during a news conference, he
attemptedtoshut the door onsev-
en years in Boston.
"This year," Papelbonsaid, "Ive
been more excited to get into the
clubhouse than any spring train-
ing."
The man is wired like a closer.
Somuchthat whentheRedSoxat-
tempted to move him back into
therotationin2007, hedemanded
he remain the ninth-inning man.
He is known for his theatrics on
the mound, and a number of Phil-
lies players this winter remarked
howexcitedtheyweretomeet the
person behind the intense person-
ality.
"I likepressure,"hesaid. "Thats
what makes me tick, man."
But mostly, hewasreservedSat-
urday, and that was to be expect-
ed. Theriverdancingandreferenc-
estoCincoOcho, hisalterego, can
wait.
But then, when Papelbon was
asked if he could picture facing
BostoninOctober, the confidence
briefly revealed itself. No, Papel-
bon said, its not hard to look
ahead. His current tasks are long
tossingandmeetinghisnewteam-
mates. The rest will come.
"But," he said, "I doknowwhen
we play the Red Sox."
When asked if he often thought
this winter about how2011ended,
Papelbon said, "Every day. All
day." He stared for a couple of sec-
onds without saying a word.
"I mean, I dont think about it at
all, man," he said.
If anything, Papelbons four-
year, $50millioncontract withthe
Phillies offers a clean break. He
embodied Bostons baseball suc-
cess, and the Dropkick Murphys
signaledhispresencetoselloutsat
Fenway Park. But when it soured,
Papelbon sought a new place
where he could thrive in a pres-
sure-packed environment. That
night he threwthe 90 m.p.h. split-
ter to Andino, Papelbon vowed
that would not define him.
Papelbon often alluded to the
Yankees Mariano Rivera, the all-
time saves leader, and the man he
calls "The Godfather." He said
Rivera told him at the 2006 All-
Star Game that the key to being a
closer was a good short-term
memory.
Staying healthy is another. Pa-
pelbon has averaged 66 innings
and never spent time on the dis-
abled list. A shoulder ailment in
late2006promptedBostontocon-
sider reducing the strain by mak-
ing him a starting pitcher again.
Papelbon resisted and has held up
ever since.
He has plenty of reasons to rel-
ish a new challenge, especially
when it means less of the Ameri-
can League East.
"To be honest," Papelbon said,

Seminary wins its 6th straight prep title
The Times Leader staff
ALBANY, N.Y. Scoring
chances were plentiful for the
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pen-
guins on Saturday night, but for
the second time in three games,
goals were not.
Despite firing 32 shots at Alba-
ny goaltender Jeff Frazee, the
Pens came up empty in a 3-0 loss
to the Devils in front of 8,114 at
the Times Union Center.
Albany defenseman Eric Geli-
nas had two goals, including an
empty-netter in the final minute,
and Tim Sestito scored on a pen-
alty shot for the Devils, who have
taken two of three meetings this
season after 15 consecutive head-
to-head losses.
We had a lot of opportunities
to score and we were doing a lot
of the right things, and I thought
the guys put themselves in posi-
tion to score, Pens head coach
John Hynes said. I dont know if
its as much luck as it is being a
little bit more thorough, having a
little more of a heavy stick and a
little bit of finish.
I thought we played well and
we hadopportunities to score. As
a team, we did some good things;
we just didnt put the puck in the
net.
Hynes and assistant coach
Alain Nasreddine gathered the
team in the dressing room for a
quick, closed-door team meeting
following the game. The Pens
have nowlost three of four game-
sand fell to 30-16-2-5 and out of
first place in the East Division.
Its really about how we play,
Hynes said. We have a certain
identity that we want to play to, a
certain style that we want to
have, a certain compete level. As
you go through a long season,
youre going to have times where
maybe you play some games and
youfeel youshouldget a different
result.
I thought tonight there were
more positives than negatives in
that direction, which is the most
important thing.
It was Gelinas who staked Al-
bany to a 1-0 lead at 14:13 of the
second. Mattias Tedenby left the
puck at center ice for Darcy Za-
jac, who carried up right wing
and centered to a trailing Geli-
nas, whose snap shot snuck past
Pens goalie Brad Thiessens stick
inside the left post.
A penalty to Sestito put the
Penguins on their fourth power
play, but the Pens were unable to
convert. On his way out of the
penalty box, Sestito was sprung
on a breakaway.
Sestito managed to take a fore-
hander that Thiessen stopped
with 1:34 remaining, but referee
Jon McIsaac awarded the Devils
a penalty shot after Pens defense-
man Joey Mormina got his stick
on Sestito from behind.
Similarly to Gelinas goal, Ses-
tito, skating in slowly from cen-
ter ice, fired a wrist shot fromthe
slot that eluded Thiessens out-
stretched stick for a 2-0 Albany
lead.
I thought it was a bad call,
Hynes said. The guy got a shot
off and it was a pretty weak one-
handed slash.

GERHART GEARS UP: Bob-
by Gerhart has been downright
dominant over the years at Day-
tona International Speedway.
This time, he was simply for-
tunate.
Gerhart raced to his record
eighth ARCA series victory at
Daytona andthirdina row
Saturday after two of the top
cars ran out of gas just a few
hundred feet fromthe finish.
It tookone little slipfromthe
leader, Gerhart said. Unbeliev-
able! Wow!
Gerhart, who spends all year
gettingready for the annual race
that kicks off Speedweeks, start-
ed 42nd after failing a post-qual-
ifying inspection Friday. He
workedhiswaytowardthefront,
taking advantage of some fuel
strategy moves, and was just be-
hind the leaders when the green
flag dropped on a two-lap sprint
to the finish.
Brandon McReynolds was up
front, with Chris Windom close
behind, when their cars started
sputtering. McReynolds, the
son of former NASCAR crew
chief and current television ana-
lyst Larry McReynolds, led the
previous 62laps andappearedto
bealockfor his first ARCAvicto-
ry. But McReynolds ran out of
gasonthefrontstretchandfaded
to 11th. Windom also came up
short and finished eighth.
COOTERS COUNTER-
POINT: Former Dukes of Haz-
zard actor and ex-Georgia Con-
gressman Ben Jones doesnt see
any problem with letting the
General Lee take a lap around
the racetrack.
In a statement, Jones lashed
out at NASCARs decision to
cancel a planned appearance by
professional golfer Bubba Wat-
son at Phoenix International
Raceway next month. Watson
was going to drive a parade lap
in one of the 1969 Dodge Char-
gers featured in the show, which
Watsonbought at anauction, be-
fore the March 4 Sprint Cup Se-
ries race.
But NASCAR and track offi-
cials called it off because the car
has aconfederateflagonits roof.
As a cast member of The
Dukes of Hazzard and the own-
er of several General Lees, I can
attest that the car and our show
reflect theverybest of American
values, andthat HazzardCounty
was a place where racism was
not tolerated, Jones said. This
action by NASCARis a provoca-
tive and unnecessary overreac-
tiontoaproblemthat doesnt ex-
ist. It is a disgraceful and gratui-
tous insult toa lot of very decent
people. It is prejudicial toward
those goodhearted folks who,
like Uncle Jesse Duke, are infact
never meanin no harm.
Jones played mechanic Coo-
ter Davenport on the show.

ing he and the No. 16 team a fa-
vorite to win pole position for

Biffle figures about eight cars
have a shot at the pole.
Were definitely one of them,
but some other guys still have
some speed left, Biffle said.
The thing that concerns me a
little bit is thats about all weve
got.

AT P L AY
CHICAGO Deron Williams
scored 29 points, Kris Hum-
phries had 24 points and 18
rebounds, and the New Jersey
Nets beat the Chicago Bulls
97-85 Saturday to snap an eight-
game losing streak.
Chicagos Derrick Rose mis-
sed his fifth straight game be-
cause of back pain, and the Nets
took advantage, jumping out to
a 22-3 lead while rolling to their
first victory since Feb. 1.
The lopsided win wasnt the
only good news for New Jersey.
Coach Avery Johnson said cen-
ter Brook Lopez will start Sun-
day against Milwaukee after
being sidelined all season by a
broken right foot, a big boost for
a team that began the day last in
the Atlantic Division.
Lopez was injured in the
preseason and the Nets have
floundered all year, but they
took control right from the start
in a surprisingly easy victory
over Chicago.
With Rose sidelined, Williams
had his way. He scored 21 points
in the first half and hit five 3-
pointers in the game. He also
had eight assists.
Humphries narrowly missed
season-highs for points (25) and
rebounds (19), while MarShon
Brooks added 19 points.
The Bulls had won seven of
eight, but the way they were
rushing shots and slacking off
on defense, they never had a
chance. For once, they looked
like a team that was missing its
star.
Rose remained day to day and
the Bulls simply seemed lost.
Spurs 103, Clippers 100, OT
LOS ANGELES Gary Neal
hit go-ahead 3-pointers in regu-
lation and overtime, Tony Park-
er scored 30 points and the San
Antonio Spurs held off the Los
Angeles Clippers 103-100 on
Saturday to earn their NBA-
leading 10th consecutive victo-
ry.
Neal was one of six Spurs in
double figures with 17 points.
He stole the ball and hit the
tying 3-pointer with 5.7 seconds
left in regulation. His 3 with 25
seconds to go in overtime
snapped a 98-all tie.
Matt Bonner added 13 points,
Tim Duncan had 11 points and
17 rebounds, Danny Green had
11, for the Spurs, who improved
to 6-0 on their annual rodeo trip
that includes nine games.
Blake Griffin had 22 points
and 20 rebounds, and Chris Paul
and Randy Foye scored 21

Jeffrey scored a go-ahead goal
37 seconds into the third peri-

and the Pittsburgh Penguins
beat the Philadelphia Flyers 6-4
on Saturday.
Jordan Staal, Pascal Dupuis
and James Neal also scored
goals for the Penguins, who
moved into a tie with Philadel-
phia for fourth place in the
Eastern Conference.
Jaromir Jagr scored two goals
against his former team and
Eric Wellwood notched his first
NHL goal for the Flyers.
Philadelphia lost for the sixth
time in eight games and got
another poor performance from
goalie Ilya Bryzgalov, who was
benched after allowing three
goals on 13 shots.
In a matchup of the leagues
two top scorers, Evgeni Malkin
and Claude Giroux each had
one assist. Malkin has a two-
point lead over Giroux.
Islanders 4, Hurricanes 3
UNIONDALE, N.Y. John
Tavares took advantage of Car-
olina again, notching two goals
and an assist in the Islanders
victory that completed New
Yorks four-game season sweep
of the Hurricanes.
Kevin Poulin made 33 saves
for the Islanders (25-25-8), who
pulled within six points of
eighth-place Toronto in the
Eastern Conference playoff
race. The last time the Islan-
ders had at least a .500 record
after Feb. 1 was four years ago.
Chicago 6, Blue Jackets 1
COLUMBUS, Ohio Jo-
nathan Toews and Patrick
Sharp each had a goal and two
assists and the Chicago Black
Hawks ended a nine-game road
swing with a victory over the
Columbus Blue Jackets.
Patrick Kane added a goal
and a helper and Viktor Stal-
berg continued his magic touch
against the Blue Jackets with a
goal. Stalberg has scored eight
times against Columbus in five
games this season matching
his total against the rest of the
NHL in 51 games.
Corey Crawford had 33 saves
as the Blackhawks won their
second in a row. They ended a
nine-game losing skid with a
4-2 win at the New York Rang-
ers on Thursday night.
Blues 4, Wild 0
ST. LOUIS Barret Jack-
man broke a league-high 150-
game scoreless drought and
Brian Elliott made 13 saves to
lead the St. Louis Blues over
the Minnesota Wild.
The Blues won for the sixth
time in seven games and gained
points in a franchise-record 21st
straight home game. St. Louis
picked up its league-best 26th
home win (26-3-4).
Minnesota is winless in its
last seven, the longest streak
since an eight-game skid Dec.
13-28, 2011. The Wild have
scored just nine goals in the last
seven games.
Lightning 2, Capitals 1
TAMPA, Fla. Steven Stam-
kos scored his NHL-leading
40th goal of the season and the
Tampa Bay Lightning beat the
Washington Capitals.
The 22-year old Stamkos
became the first Tampa Bay
player to have three consec-
utive 40-goal seasons when he
scored 1:50 into the second
period. He stole an errant pass
at the Lightning blue line and
made a nifty stick-handling
move during a breakaway to
beat Tomas Vokoun and give
the Lightning a 2-0 lead.
Canucks 6, Maple Leafs 2
VANCOUVER, British Co-
lumbia Alex Burrows and
Daniel and Henrik Sedin com-
bined for 10 points in the Van-
couver Canucks thrashing of
the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Burrows scored two goals,
Daniel Sedin had a goal and
three assists, and twin brother
Henrik added four assists. The
Sedins outburst came after
both had gone three games
without a point.
It was Vancouvers 10th
straight win over Toronto,
covering a span of more than
eight years.
Manny Malhotra, Sami Salo
and Kevin Bieksa also scored
for the Canucks (37-15-6), who
have won six of seven.
Dion Phaneuf and Nikolai
Kulemin, with 19.2 seconds left
in the game, had goals for the
Maple Leafs (29-24-6), who
have lost six of seven.

LOSANGELESPhil Mickel-
son hit one tree, threaded a shot
through five trees and hit a drive
that wound up in a spectators
shorts. Hesomehowmanageda1-
under 70 onSaturday toshare the
lead with PGA champion Keegan
Bradley in the Northern Trust
Open.
Bradley, inspired by a Riviera
course that is one of his favorites,
took only five putts over the final
fiveholes, includinga10-footerfor
par on the last hole, for a 5-under
66 that assured him being in the
final group.
The par was meaningful be-
cause he wanted to play today
with Mickelson, a mentor to him.
Theres no telling what to ex-
pect inthefinal round. Thephrase
routineparwasnot part of Mick-
elsons vocabulary on a beautiful
afternoon off Sunset Boulevard.
Mickelson played one chip well
past the hole on the par-3 sixth so
it would roll off the bank some 25
feet behind the cup and roll back.
He made a12-footer for his par.
The only disappointment was
not taking advantage of enough
birdie chances, twice missing
birdie putts inside 8 feet and fail-
ing to give himself a good look on
the par-5 17th when his wedge
rolled off the front of the green.
Mickelson and Bradley were at
7-under 206, though this is hardly
a two-man race at Riviera.
A dozen players were within
four shots of the lead going into
the final round, including defend-
ing champion Aaron Baddeley
(66), DustinJohnson(67) andFe-
dExCupchampionBill Haas(68).
Bradley surged into a share of
the lead with an 8-foot birdie on
the 16th, and a pitch to tap-in
range on the next hole. From the
right rough, he came up short of
the 18th and chipped to10 feet to
set up the important closing par.
Bradleyalwayshaslookedupto
Mickelson, and the four-time ma-
jor champion invited him to play
in one of his money games at The
Players Championship. They
have played together in a tourna-
ment only once, the opening two
rounds of The Barclays.
Nothing like this would be,
Bradley said.
There was a stretch where
Mickelsonliveduptohis Phil the
Thrill reputation at Riviera.
He pulled his tee shot so far
right onthe par-3sixththat it clip-
pinga tree anddropped. Then, in-
stead of hitting a lofted chip that
could run to the pin, he chose to
chip some 25 feet past the hole. It
rolled12feet past the hole, andhe
made par.
On the par-4 eighth, which
gives players the option of two
fairways, Mickelson found his
own route. He blasted a tee shot
so far left it went over a white
fenceandlandedat thebaseof the
stairs of a corporate tent. After
getting a free drop, he threaded a
9-iron through five eucalyptus
trees to12 feet.
It would have been one of the
more amazing birdies in his ca-
reer, except he missed the putt.
He was introduced to a Bottle
Brush on the 10th. That was the
name of the tree between the pin
and where his tee shot landed.
Mickelson caught a tiny branch
anddidnt reachthe green, but hit
a skillful pitch to 3 feet for par.
And on the 15th, Mickelson
blocked a tee shot into the gallery
anddiscovereda manlying onhis
back, fearful of moving. The ball
landed inside the hem of his
shorts, and he remained still until
Mickelson could remove the ball
and take his free drop. He man-
aged another par.

Lindsey Vonn clinched her
fifth consecutive World Cup
downhill title Saturday after plac-
ing third in a race on the 2014 So-
chi Olympics course won by Ger-
man rival and friend Maria Hoefl-
Riesch.
Hoefl-Riesch clocked 1 minute,
49.17 seconds down the Rosa
Khutor slope for her secondvicto-
ry this season and first in down-
hill. She beat Elisabeth Goergl of
Austria by 0.43 seconds and Vonn
by 0.59.
With two downhills remaining
this season and wins worth 100
points each, Vonn holds an unas-
sailable 231-point leadover Hoefl-
Rieschinthedisciplinestandings.
Downhill is my favorite event
and its always nice to wrap up a
title before the end of the season,
before the last races, Vonn said.
It puts a little less pressure on
me.
Hoefl-Riesch also had a win in
the test event for the 2010 Van-
couver Games.
Its really important, the Ger-
man said. In Whistler, two years
before the Olympics I won the su-
per-combined and I (did well) in
the downhill and I won two gold
medals two years later. But its
never a guarantee, its just goodto
know you can be fast on a special
track where a big event takes
place.
Vonn has an even bigger lead in
theoverall standings, wheresheis
448 points ahead of Slovenias Ti-
na Maze and486 points infront of
Hoefl-Riesch, who ended Vonns
runof threeconsecutiveoverall ti-
tles last season.
The start of the race was de-
layed by 15 minutes as organizers
cleared overnight snowfall off the
course, andthere were a fewmore
delays once it started due to
clouds moving over the course,
limiting visibility.
As for themens races last week,
the stands were only half full, al-
though those in attendance were
enthusiastic, singing and cheer-
ing on each finisher.
Vonn started after a TV break
and executed well on the upper
portion of the course but lost
some time onthe bottom, andher
lead only lasted slightly more
than a minute because Hoefl-
Riesch skied next and was faster
than Vonn at each checkpoint.

MARTINSVILLE, N.J. Other
than special teamers, wide receiv-
ers and the guys who cover them,
football players rarely break into a
sprint. Yet every prospect coming
out of college, from the slippery
scatbacktothebehemothlinemen,
is measured on his ability to cover
40 yards more quickly than his
peers.
With so much riding on those
players times at private workouts,
pro days and, most especially, the
NFL combine, it makes sense to
train them to run as fast as the
wind. Or, in the case of the 330-
pounders, a stiff breeze.
Teachingprospects at the TEST
Football Academy to make like
Olympic sprinters is Ato Boldon,
who merely owns four Olympic
medals andaworldchampionship.
Hes been working with TEST for
threeyears, whichrecentlyteamed
with Parisi Speed School to give
players hoping to break into the
NFL every opportunity to cut cru-
cial tenths of seconds off their 40
times.
I am basically turning football
players into sprinters for a while,
Boldonsays. Whenwefirst talked
about it, I didnt knowhowmy ex-
pertise could be used.
BoldonthenaccompaniedBrian
Martin, CEOof TESTs academies
in Florida and New Jersey, to the
NFLcombine, andhiseyespopped
open wider than Calvin Johnsons
get on a post pattern.
My first thought: Oh my god
theseguys areawful. It was 95per-
cent their technique. It was bad.
AndI said, NowI understandwhy
they want to bring me on board.
At the combine last year, my
guys did not look like the others.
By the end of the combine I have
the fastest guys.
That would include Patrick Pe-
tersonof LSU, whowent fifthover-
all toArizonaandwounduptyinga
league record with four punt re-
turns for touchdowns as a rookie,
Stevan Ridley of LSU and DaRel
Scott of the Super Bowl champion
Giants.
This year, he is workingwithap-
proximately 60collegians, ranging
from Notre Dame guard Trevor
Robinson to Sherbrooke yes, in
Canada receiver Simon Char-
bonneau. Manyof his students will
be in Indianapolis for next weeks
combine, but even more must im-
press at pro days held at school
campuses, or in private workouts.
TEST/Parisi Football Academy
will holdaprodayfor itsplayerson
March 30.
The first few weeks football
players look at you like you are
speaking a foreign language, Bol-
don says with a laugh. The native
of Trinidadspeaks perfect English,
of course. My jobis toget themto
trust me, trust the system. I ask
themtoruninawaythat makes no
sense to them. Some of them are
fast andhaverunhighschool track,
but most of what high school kids
are taught is completely inaccu-
rate.
That does not mean grunting
and take as many steps you can,
Boldon says.

hen the Pennsylvania Game
Commission board meets in
April, it has a chance to correct
a big mistake.
During the boards January meeting,
preliminary approval was given to a
motion allowing hunters to use bait in
certain areas in the southeast region of
the state. Baiting will be allowed during
any of the deer seasons on farms en-
rolled in the agencys Red Tag program.
Farms enrolled in the programare given
a specific number of antlerless permits
that can be used fromFeb. 1to May15,
and July1to Sept. 28.
And yes, deer hunters hunting Red
Tag farms will be able to bait then as
well.
The move was made to increase the
deer harvest on the Red Tag farms. No
doubt baiting will drawdeer, the same
way they are attracted to a pile of corn
dumped in the woods during the winter.
But its a bad idea, one that could be
devastating to the deer herd not only on
the farms, but throughout the region.
The purpose of baiting is to attract
deer to a particular spot. Concentrating
deer in such a manner increases the risk
of disease, and right nowthe risks are
great.
Chronic wasting disease which has
devastated deer herds in several states,
was found last year in Maryland, just 10
miles fromthe Pennsylvania border.
Theres a good chance the disease is
here, and the last thing we want to do is
concentrate deer over bait. According to
the Chronic Wasting Disease Alliance,
concentrating deer by artificial feeding
increases the likelihood of transmission
between individuals. The infectious
agent can be passed through contact
with the ground or between deer.
It doesnt matter howout-of-hand the
deer population is in the southeast,
increasing the risk of CWDthrough
baiting is not a wise way to manage
wildlife.
More than CWD
But CWDisnt the only disease that
can be spread by concentrating deer.
Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease and
tuberculosis are two others.
Even the risk of rabies can be in-
creased through baiting. Recently, a deer
killed by a hunter in Pennsylvania tested
positive for rabies. The disease is spread
through contact and, like CWDand
EHD, baiting will only increase the risk.
Deer arent the only species that can
be impacted by baiting. Piles of corn or
other attractants will likely drawin just
about anything, including raccoons,
foxes, skunks and other wildlife that can
carry rabies, distemper and mange.
In a Game Commission brochure
entitled Please Dont Feed the Deer, it
states that turkeys drawn to bait piles
can spread another deadly disease called
aspergillosis.
The spread of disease within and
among species is encouraged by repeat-
ed and prolonged contact at feeding
sites, the release states.
In the end, a legal bait pile in the
southeast can become a deadly magnet
for many species of wildlife.
There is yet another reason why the
boards move to allowbaiting doesnt
make sense.
The Red Tag farms have large num-
bers of deer that need to be reduced. By
allowing baiting, the agency is basically
creating a means to attract even more
deer to areas where they are trying to get
rid of them.
Beyond that, the agency has correctly
prohibited baiting in all other areas of
the state, but yet it believes its worth the
risk in the southeast.
I understand the pressure that the
Game Commission is under to reduce
deer numbers in the southeast. Still, no
matter howbad the situation is, the area
needs to be managed soundly and eth-
ically.
The anything goes approach is a
dangerous one, and it could turn deadly
if baiting is allowed.

The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Com-
mission will hold a basic boating course
Saturday, March 10, at Nescopeck State
Park from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. There is no
fee for the course and participants can
earn a Boating Safety Education Certif-
icate, which is required for all operators
of personal watercraft, regardless of age,
and for boat operators born after Jan. 1,
1982, who operate motorboats of more
than 25 horsepower. For more informa-
tion or to register, call 477-2206.
The Factoryville Sportsmens Club will
host a black powder shoot Sunday, Feb.
26. Registration is at 8 a.m. and the fee
is $6 per shooter. Blanket prizes will be
awarded. This event is limited to prim-
itive style rifles only, using flint or per-
cussion cap ignition. Modern or "in-line"
firearms are not allowed. Shooters using
percussion cap rifles will be subjected to
a scoring handicap, as determined by the
event director. For more information, call
378-2593.
Homeowners wishing to learn more
about the animals, plants and water
features found in their backyard are
invited to attend a one-day workshop
titled The Woods in Your Backyard on
March 30 at Keystone College, LaPlume,
and repeated March 31 at East Strouds-
burg University. The program, which runs
from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., is designed specifi-
cally for smaller landscapes. These small
lots are a big deal, for the vast majority
of Pennsylvanias land-owners have less
than 10 acres. By enhancing wooded
areas or creating natural areas on your
lot, you can enjoy recreation, aesthetics,
wildlife, improved water quality and
reduced energy costs.
The workshop includes lunch, breaks and
program materials. Each workshop at-
tendee will receive a free copy of The
Woods in Your Backyard: Learning to
Create and Enhance Natural Areas
Around Your Home. The full-color, 139-
page manual will guide you through the
process of developing and implementing
projects to enhance your lands natural
resources.
This workshop is part of a Sustainable
Backyard Landscapes Series developed
through a partnership of Penn State
Extension, Pennsylvania Department of
Conservation and Natural Resources,
Pennsylvania Environmental Council and
Forestry for the Bay.

O U T D O O R S N O T E S
Luzerne County Waterways Conserva-
tion Officer Aaron Lupacchini had a
problemwith stocking the delayed har-
vest stretch of Nescopeck Creek.
The nearly 2-mile stretch is filled with
beautiful holes and pockets ideal for
holding trout. But its also fairly remote,
and getting the trout to the streamwas a
challenge.
You cant get a vehicle back there, so
we had to load
buckets of fish
on a quad and
drive them
down a trail,
Lupachinni said.
The long
drive over the
rough trail was
stressful on the
fish, and Lu-
pachinni and his
deputies spent
nearly an hour
trying to revive
trout that had
just been
stocked.
The limited
access also
meant the fish
couldnt be
spread out in
the stream.
Lupachinni had
no choice but to
release all the
trout at one or
two locations.
Its always
been a challeng-
ing place to
stock, he said.
Thanks to the
help of Crest-
wood High
School teacher
Fran Gough and
his students
with the Crestwood Watershed Team,
stocking the Nescopeck will be a lot
easier this spring.
During a field trip to Nescopeck State
Park last fall, office staff told Gough
about the difficulties in stocking the
delayed harvest stretch. They told
Gough that a float stocking barrel would
really help, so he and his students went
to work.
We needed to get funding to build
one first, and the Stanley Cooper Sr.
Chapter of Trout Unlimited backed us
100 percent. The Mountain Top Area
Joint Sewer Authority gave us clean
barrels, and we were ready to get to
work, Gough said. We wanted to get
themdone before trout season so the
WCOs could use themthis year.
On Tuesday, Gough donated the
second of the two stocking barrels his
students built to Pennsylvania Fish and
Boat Commission officer Kaden Thomp-
son, who covers Wyoming County.
Thompson said the barrel will be used to
float stock a portion of Bowmans Creek.
The first barrel went to Lupachinni,
and he cant wait to use it. The delayed
harvest stretch, which runs fromthe
park office down to the wooden bridge,
is scheduled to be stocked April 5. The
barrel may also be used to float stock a
portion of Big Wapwallopen Creek in the
Mountain Top area as well.
Were really looking forward to it,
Lupachinni said. Instead of putting fish
in one or two spots, well be able to
spread themout really well.
Lupachinni designed an aerator sys-
temthat will be mounted on the quad to
reduce the stress on the trout as they are
driven to the stream. Once there, the
buckets will be emptied into the float
stocking barrel and volunteers will wade
down the stream, netting the trout out
to release themalong the way.
Ive gotten a lot of comments from
anglers who wanted to see this stretch
float stocked. We just needed a stocking
barrel and volunteers to do it, Lupa-
chinni said. We have that in place now,
and it will be a much more effective way
to stock fish.
The project is also an effective way to
get young people interested in the out-
doors, Lupachinni added.
It was really refreshing to see these
kids have such an interest in this, he
said. They were eager to help out. I
think this proves its a lot easier than
people think to get kids interested in the
outdoors. You just need to point themin
the right direction.
Each barrel can hold approximately
100 trout, and Gough and his students
hope to build more. Ideally, if the fund-
ing is available to purchase materials,
Gough said theyd like to build and
donate a float stocking barrel to every
WCOdistrict along the Susquehanna
River watershed.
If theres a need for them, well do
more, he said.
There is definitely a need, according
to Lupachinni.
Ideally I could use two in my district,
and if the students want to keep building
themIll keep finding WCOs to distrib-
ute themto, he said.
Thanks to students with the Crestwood Watershed Team
and teacher Fran Gough, stocking remote waterways just got a lot simpler

Fran Gough talks about a floating trout stocking box that his class made to donate to the Stanley Cooper Sr. Chapter of
Trout Unlimited.
Crestwood High
teacher Fran Gough
said it cost approxi-
mately $86 to build
each float stocking
barrel. Here is a list of
supplies needed (all
metal components,
should be stainless
steel):
two 3-inch hinges
one hasp
one hasp clip
two hatch stops
inside the lid
two eye rings
six 6-inch hose
clamps
four 4-inch Sched-
ule 40 PVC end caps
two 5-foot lengths
of 4-inch Schedule 40
PVC pipe
one 30-gallon
plastic barrel
The hatch opening
should be cut to a
12-inch by 15-inch
rectangle. One length
of PVC pipe is
clamped to each side
of the barrel to act as
floats. Several 1-inch
holes are drilled into
each end of the barrel
to allow fresh water
to circulate.

WASHING-
TON, Lin-

likely never
envisioned
Presidents
Day being celebrated with
sales, but thanks to them,
more of the bills bearing their
likenesses will stay in our
pockets this week.
CVS has an offer on Cold-
calm by Boiron. Get a 60-
count box for $6.99 and if you
use your Extra Care Card,
youll get a coupon for $6.99
printed on your receipt for a
future store purchase.
The store also has packs of
Eclipse gum on sale three for
$3 and youll get $2 in Extra
Bucks printed on your receipt.
If you have a Wellness+
Card, run to Rite Aid for this
deal. Colgate sensitive or
Total Advanced toothpaste is
sold for $3.50 and youll get
the full purchase amount back
in the form of a coupon that
will print on the bottom of
your receipt.
You can get up to four of-
fers, so if you really wanted to,
pay $14 for four tubes then use
the $14 in coupons toward a
future store purchase. Theres
a $1 off Total coupon in to-
days Times Leader so it
makes the deal even better. If
you buy just one tube, youll
pay $2.50 and get a coupon
worth $3.50.
Heres a suggestion for
those looking to build a deal:
Buy the four tubes of Colgate,
use the $14 in Up Rewards
coupons plus the $5 off a
Tylenol Precise product found
in todays Times Leader and
get a 3 or 4 count box of Pre-
cise heat patches or a 2.5
ounce cream, which in on sale
for $5.99, plus grab a 30 count
box of Brainstrong Natural
DHS supplements for tod-
dlers. Theyre on sale for $13
and youll get a $13 Up Re-
wards coupon printed on your
receipt.
So youll get the four tubes
of toothpaste, the Brainstrong
and the Tylenol Precise, pay
$13 out of pocket and get $13
back to use for another future
store purchase.
No coupon required for this
deal but its a good one, just in
time for the Lenten season.
Weis has all Gortons sea-
food on sale at half off and if
you buy three products youll
get an additional $2 off the
purchase.
Speaking of half-off sales,
head to Price Chopper where
about 50 items are 50 percent
off. Among them are Price
Chopper brand pretzels, all
Price Chopper vitamins and 16
ounce cartons of Ben and
Jerrys ice cream.
Though many of our found-
ing fathers made their money
on their tobacco crops and
even though our current presi-
dent has been caught lighting
up a cigarette now and then,
theres no reason to emulate
the commanders in chiefs
bad habits.
If youre trying to quit smok-
ing, heres a good way and
its free.
The Pennsylvania Depart-
ment of Health is offering free,
four-week nicotine replace-
ment therapy, or NRT, kits
and counseling support to
residents trying to quit using
tobacco. The kits will be avail-
able through the states Free
Quitline (800-QUIT NOW)

The NRT giveaway is part
of the second annual Quit for
Love outreach effort during
the week of Valentines Day
and is funded through Tobac-
co Master Settlement Agree-
ment funds and a federal
grant.
To receive a free NRT kit,

NEW DELHI Chinas ambitions
to unlock the natural gas trapped in
shale rocks are likely to take longer
than planned, boosting the nations re-
liance on overseas suppliers from Ex-
xon Mobil to Royal Dutch Shell.
Shale gas output will rise to 23 bil-
lion cubic meters in 2020, or 29 per-
cent of the governments 80 billiontar-
get, belowthe average estimate of sev-
en analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.
The shortfall, stemming in part from
tougher geology, should boost lique-
fied natural gas imports from about
$5.8billionin2011while curbingspec-
ulation that the nation can duplicate
the U.S. shale boom that has upended
global energy markets.
Drillers in China, the worlds big-
gest holder of shale reserves, have yet
to produce shale gas commercially,
withShell helpingChina National Pet-
roleum Corp. to sink the nations first
horizontal well. Explorers such as
Cnooc and China Petrochemical,
which have invested more than $5.7
billion in so-called unconventional oil
and gas assets overseas, have found
their technology lacking at home.
There are resources in China but
the geology is different and more chal-
lenging than in the U.S., Liu Zhenwu,
a vice president at state-run CNPCs
advisory center, said in a Feb. 7 inter-
view in Bangkok. Technical issues
need to be solved first. It may take a
few years, maybe a decade, maybe
more, before large quantities of shale
gas are produced in China.
Until then, China will need to boost
purchases of LNGfromproviders such
as Exxon, Chevron and Woodside Pet-
roleum to meet demand. The nation
imported 12.2 million metric tons of
LNGin 2011, worth $5.8 billion at last
years average price, customs data
show. Paris-based GDF Suez estimat-
ed shipments may almost quadruple
to 44 million tons in 2020.

entrepreneurial energy, they
say, rides the nations hope for
lower unemployment and fas-
ter economic growth.
But the work of several econ-
omists suggests that most
small businesses are not partic-
ularly adept at creating jobs, at
least not the best jobs. The
work also suggests their role in
generating national wealth has
been exaggerated.
The problem is that not all
small businesses are created
equal. Businesses just getting
off the ground contribute most
NEW YORK Mitt Rom-
ney says theyre job creators
and vows to come to their aid
as president. Newt Gingrich
visited them on his jobs and
growth bus tour. President Ba-
rack Obama calls themthe en-
gine of our economy.
If theres one thing Republi-
cans and Democrats agree on,
its that small business is the
answer to what ails the econo-
my. On these tiny bundles of
of the countrys jobgrowth, but
older small businesses cut as
many as they add.
ThinkBill Gates andPaul Al-
len huddled together late
nights developing Microsoft,
not the corner liquor store.
I dont want to pick on dry
cleaners and restaurants and
small manufacturingfirms, but
theyre not a big source of job
creation, says John Haltiwan-
ger, an economist at the Uni-
versity of Maryland.
Politicians like to say that
small companies create two of
every three jobs in a given year.
Thats less impressive when
youconsider that almost all the
6 million companies in the U.S.
99.9 percent of them are
small businesses, with fewer
than 500 workers.
Whats more, two-out-of-
three masks the fact that most
small businesses eliminate
more jobs than they create in a
given year, either through lay-
offs, closings or bankruptcy.
And many of the rest, the
ones that dont shrink or shut
down, dont offer much hope
for the millions of Americans
looking for jobs.
Many small companies
outfits like florists, hardware
stores andbarbershops tend
to grow with the U.S. popula-
tion, not faster. So they dont
speed the economic recovery
the way an exploding new in-
dustry might.
According to an August
study by two University of Chi-
cago economists, most small
business owners just want to

OLLIDAYSBURG Dont tell Michael W. McLana-
han that manufacturing in the United States is dead.
His family-owned, privately held company has made min-

back in 1835 and is enjoying a boom.
It was our best year ever, said
McLanahan, during a tour of the
busy factory in central Pennsylva-

turing is growing twice as fast as
the broader economy.
McLanahan, 73, is the fifth gen-

McLanahan Corp. boomed even
as U.S. economy struggled to gain
momentum in 2011 and the global

that Europes debt problems
would drag everyone down. One

ARE YOUHAVINGa
difficult time commit-
ting?
Imtalking about
making up your mind
about whether to
choose stocks or bonds
or a certain variety of
one of them. After the battle scars of the
last fewyears, its not surprising people
would be second-guessing their choices.
And after a 7 percent rise in the stock
market this year as of mid-February, the
fear of plopping newmoney into stocks
just in time to lose again might be dread-
ful.
Thats why investors are being drawn
to a relatively newtype of fund called
tactical allocation funds. With these
funds, you give the fund manager the
discretion to move around quickly, may-
be buying large company stocks one day
when he sees opportunity but selling
themshortly thereafter if he spots a
market threat or a better opportunity
elsewhere.
Not all tactical funds have choices that
broad. But some do. And the key with all
tactical funds is that you give your fund
manager the freedomto decide at any
moment that he wants to buy a lot of
something and none of something else.
You do not tie his or her hands the way
you do in most mutual funds by telling
the manager precisely what type of
investment to buy.
The flexibility to hop around markets
and to buy and sell quickly is supposed
to serve you well. Its supposed to save
you when the market is about to tank, or
place you at the front of opportunity
when some investment is about to soar.
What could be better?
The trouble is that such an approach
promises more than it delivers.
Morningstar analyst Michael Herbst
recently reviewed tactical funds and
found what studies of investing pros
have shown repeatedly: Market timing,
or trying to pinpoint the time when its
worth buying one type of investment
while selling another, is difficult to do. It
sounds good on the surface, but few
managers can carry it out well contin-
ually.
Herbst notes that the AllianceBern-
stein Retirement Strategies target-date
funds moved a significant amount of
money out of stocks and pleased in-
vestors by avoiding harsh losses during
the third quarter of 2011. But after get-
ting that move right, he said, the fund
didnt move back into stocks soon
enough to capture the surge that delight-
ed investors in other funds during the
fourth quarter.
Ivy Asset Strategy was an investors
dreamcome true during the harsh 38
percent downturn in the stock market in
2008. And it was nimble enough to also
position for the rise in stocks in 2009.
But then it got roughed up by the flash
crash in May 2010 and was not posi-
tioned well for the difficulties in stock
investing in 2011, Herbst said.
In a study of tactical funds between
October 2007 and December 2011, Mor-
ningstar chief investment officer Jeff
Ptak found that despite all the maneu-
vering and esoteric, risky approaches to
investing, most didnt do as well as the
Vanguard Balanced Index fund. Thats a
simple fund that uses no fancy tactics. It
holds about 60 percent of investors
money in stocks and 40 percent in bonds
through good times and bad without
trying to guess when its best to buy or
sell.
Tactical funds tend to be more volatile
than other funds and also have trouble
rebounding when the market is climbing
after a downturn, Herbst said.
Yet, Herbst has identified a fewstand-
outs. Among them, he said, are the
Pimco All Asset, Pimco All Asset All
Authority and Pimco Global Multi-
Asset.
Even if funds seemto have good track
records over several years, however,
Herbst warns against buying themif you
do not understand howthe manager is
going to make money and avoid losses.
Some strategies are complex, involving
derivatives and leverage, or borrowed
money that can lead to great gains but
also explosive losses.

B U S I N E S S
Q: I have become very disillu-
sioned with my manager.
Brian and I worked well to-
gether as peers for several years,
collaborating on a variety of suc-
cessful projects, until anewCEO
promoted me and demoted him.
Recently, that CEOwas replaced
by a guy who worked with Brian
20 years ago. Now he has decid-
ed to make Brian my boss.
Unfortunately, Brian has turn-
ed out to be an ineffective man-
ager who doesnt want me to
have any visibility. Some trusted
colleagues have shown me
emails in which he takes credit
for my work. Brian praises me to
my face, but apparently does not
share these positive comments
with higher-level executives.
Although I like my job, I dont
see howI can advance my career
while working for Brian. I have
tried to remain professional and
accept the situation, but Im
starting to feel that leaving is my
only choice. Whats your advice?
A: At this point, you would be
wise to pursue a two-track ca-
reer strategy. While exploring
external possibilities, you
should simultaneously take
steps to enhance your reputa-
tion within the company. Given
the recent volatility of your work
environment, you never know
what future opportunities might
present themselves.
Like it or not, the first step in
preserving your internal options
is to maintain a favorable rela-
tionship with Brian. In addition
to being your boss, he is also
well-regarded by the CEO, so
staying on his good side would
be politically astute. Try to re-
member that both of you may be
rather wary and self-protective
after being repeatedly jerked
around by top executives.
If Brian truly is minimizing
your accomplishments, then
you need to concentrate on ex-
panding your network of sup-
porters. Look for opportunities
to impress managers and other
influential colleagues with your
knowledge, ability, and coopera-
tive attitude. The more people
who think highly of you, the
greater the odds that word will
spread to top management.
You might also consider in-
creasing your involvement with
industry groups and profession-
al associations, sincethoseactiv-
ities can boost your career both
internally and externally. In
short, the best way to handle
your resentful feelings is to stop
obsessing about Brian and start
taking control of your future.
Q: My co-worker is being very
inconsiderate with his cell-
phone. We all keep our phones
turnedonat work, but the rest of
us silence them out of courtesy
to others. This co-worker allows
his phone to ring, which is quite
disruptive and annoying. What
can we do about it?
A: Heres a radical idea. In-
stead of stewing in silence and
becoming increasingly irritated,
have a friendly chat with your
colleague and politely ask if he
would mind using the vibrate
setting. Calmly explain that
even though he may not notice
the noise, his ringer is a distrac-
tion to others. If you are courte-
ous and he is considerate, this
problem should be quickly
solved with no hard feelings.

turings rising luster is an ex-
port revival.
McLanahan Corp. is no out-
lier. The manufacturing sector
as a whole bouncedbackin2011,
adding more than 287,000 new
positions over the last 13
months and shifting into higher
gear after a summer slowdown
brought on by Europe fears.
During 2011, exports of U.S.
goods and services were up by
14.5 percent over 2010, to a re-
cord $2.1 trillion. And despite
Europes economic problems,
U.S. exports to Europe rose 3.6
percent in December.
In the 1990s, as environmen-
tal regulation stiffened on the
U.S. mining industry, McLana-
han refocused the company to
take advantage of export oppor-
tunities. Back then, about 10
percent of the companys prod-
uct went overseas. Today its
about 70 percent.
Mineral-rich Australia is a big
customer, and McLanahan has
benefited greatly from that
countrys high labor costs and
weaker manufacturing base.
We can build here and ship
into Australia for cheaper than
they can make it there, said
McLanahan. He laments that
mining in the United States has
shrunk so much and with it, do-
mestic sales opportunities. I
knewthat the future of our com-
pany depended on a robust ex-
port effort.
During a recent visit, the
Pennsylvania manufacturer was
busilyfillingorders fromIceland
and Colombia, as well as active-
ly building log washers for the
timber industry and equipment
for dairy farmers. It recently in-
stalled equipment in Glen Rose,
Texas, to prepare fracking sand
for shipment. Natural gas drill-
ers in Pennsylvania are consum-
ing so much silica sand, he said,
that the price now varies be-
tween $240 a ton to $400 a ton,
compared to $10 a ton for sand
used in concrete mix.
Its goodnews for a sector that
accounts for about 12 percent of
the U.S. economy but lost more
than 6 million jobs over the past
decade. Theres even anecdotal
evidence that some companies
that had shifted production
overseas are beginning to come
home, a process known as in-
sourcing or re-shoring. Some or-
ders for iron castings that McLa-
nahan had lost to China are re-
turning because of quality and
supply issues.
How many firms are moving
back? Its hard to know.
Its ahardnumber toquantify
the notion of out-sourcing
and in-sourcing. Theres a hype
to both of those numbers, said
Chad Moutray, chief economist
for the National Association of
Manufacturers. We have a lot of
foreign companies that are lo-
cating here. Its a global deci-
sion-making process right now.
Right now many factors are
combining to make American
manufacturing more attractive
than its been in quite a while.
These include rising production
costs in China, flat wage growth
in the United States, corporate
borrowing rates near historic
lows, a weakening of the dollar
against the currencies of com-
petitors in hot emerging econo-
mies and a boom in U.S. natural
gas production thats lowering a
key cost for U.S. factories.

The global LNG market last
year was valued at about $123 bil-
lion, based on an average price of
$10 for a million British thermal
units and 336 billion cubic me-
ters of shipments.
Grieder forecasts China will
produce 20 billion cubic meters
of shale gas in2020. The govern-
ments target is ambitious, he
said. It reflects their confidence
about the resource base and
about strong domestic and for-
eign investor interest in the sec-
tor.
The U.S. produced 96 billion
cubic meters in 2009, overtaking
Russia as the worlds biggest nat-
ural gas provider. Output surged
to 142 billion cubic meters in
2010, causing prices to slump.
Natural gas prices in NewYork
were close to $10 per millionBrit-
ish thermal units end of 2000 and
rosearecordof $15.38per million
British thermal units in Decem-
ber 2005, spurringdrillinginvest-
ments. Prices on the New York
Mercantile Exchange have drop-
ped this year to around $2.50.
Chinese shale may hold 1,275
trillion cubic feet (36 trillion cu-
bic meters) of technically recov-
erable gas, 12 times the countrys
conventional gas deposits, an
April report by the U.S. Energy
InformationAdministrationsaid.
Thats almost triple the 482
trillion cubic feet in the U.S., ac-
cording to a Jan. 23 estimate by
the EIA. On average the shale
deposits inChina are deeper than
in the U.S. and more difficult to
get to, Neil Beveridge, anenergy
analyst at SanfordC. Bernsteinin
Hong Kong, said Feb. 10. The
mineralogy of the shale rocks in
China is also primarily what is
called non-marine, which means
their productivity couldbe lower.
The U.S. has marine shales which
have much lower clay content
and are more easily fractured.
Teams that unlock gas with hy-
draulic fracturing, or fracking, in
the U.S. found success mostly
from2 kilometers (1.2 miles) to 4
kilometers deep, while in China
some key deposits are found 6 ki-
lometers down, according to Be-
veridge.

be their own boss and never ex-
pect to hire more than a few em-
ployees.
In fact, the more you study the
numbers, the more you wonder
what thepoliticians aregettingso
excited about.
Haltiwanger and two other
economists showed, in a study of
32,000 companies over 30 years,
that small businesses no more
than five years old thats about
40percent of themaretheonly
ones that create more jobs each
year than they cut.
In 2005, for instance, more
than 99 percent of the 2.5 million
net newprivate-sector jobs in the
United States came from these
startups, according to the U.S.
Census Bureau.
But the 60 percent of small
businesses that have beenaround
more than five years act as a
slight drag on the number of jobs
available in the United States.
They have cut about 0.5 percent
more staff than they have added
ina typical year, accordingtoHal-
tiwanger.
Bycontrast, bigbusinesses, the
ones that get all the headlines for
layoffs, havehiredmorethanthey
have cut about 0.1percent in a
typical year.
Economist Charles Kenny of
the New America Foundation, a
nonpartisan research group, goes
as far as suggestingthat Washing-
ton should stop offering certain
incentives to small business own-
ers, such as loan guarantees and
write-offs on taxes for home offic-
es. He says the money would be
better spent subsidizing research
and development.
If you want jobs, you have to
focus on the innovative firms try-
ing to provide something new
and different, he says.
The countrys unemployment
rate is 8.3 percent, the lowest in
three years. But the U.S. still has
5.6 million fewer jobs than before
the recession.
Many economists think the job
problem is due in part to a slow-
down in the creation of newbusi-
nesses.
It was true even before the
Great Recession: The number of
startups less than a year old was
no higher in the boom year of
2006 than it was 30 years ago,
when the economy was much
smaller, according to the Census
Bureau. And the ones that are
launching are hiring fewer peo-
ple.
The grim takeaway is that the
U.S. could struggle with high un-
employment long after a pickup
in economic growth.
Even the idea that small busi-
nesses playanoutsizedroleinthe
economy has come under attack
lately.
A study from the left-leaning
Center for Economic and Policy
Research shows that the self-em-
ployedworker, that ruggedexem-
plar of the small businessperson,
accounted for less of the working
population in the U.S. than in the
other 20 rich countries tracked,
except for Luxembourg.
Another study by economists
at Harvard and Dartmouth sug-
gests that might not besucha bad
thing because poorer countries
are more likely to have a higher
share of their workers self-em-
ployed.
Adding fuel to the argument,
Kelly Edmiston, an economist at
the Federal Reserve Bank of Kan-
sas City, showed that workers at
small businesses are more likely
to lose their jobs and less likely to
have vacation days, retirement
plans and a range of other bene-
fits, including health care. Some
41 percent of companies employ-
ing less than 100 people offered
no medical insurance at all.

WESTVILLE, N.Y. Got
milk? is getting to be a difficult
question when it comes to orga-
nic.
Because even as more consum-
ers are willing to pay premium
prices for organic milk, super-
markets are having trouble keep-
ing it on the shelves as high feed
and fuel prices have left some or-
ganic dairy farmers unable to
keep up with demand.
The market has surged faster
than supply, said George Sie-
mon, CEO of Wisconsin-based
Organic Valley, the nations large-
st cooperative of organic farmers,
and at the same time we had
high feed costs reduce supply, so
we had a double hit here.
Organic milk shortages are
nothing new. As the milk
which federal regulations require
be fromcows fedorganic feedand
free from production-boosting
synthetic hormones rose in
popularity during the past dec-
ade, there havent always been
enough farmers to meet demand
(it can take three years to transi-
tion a conventional dairy farm to
organic).
Some relief is expected with
the seasonal spring boost in pro-
duction. But industry watchers
say this shortage is more worri-
some because of the alarming
jumps in the price of organic corn
andother feedcoupledwithhigh-
er fuel costs.
Its kind of like a treadmill
thing, said Siobhan Griffin, an
upstate New York organic farmer
whose cows chomp hay in a hilly
pasture. If you make less milk
you make less money, and then
you cant afford to make more
milk.
After a recent dipduringthe re-
cession, sales of organic milk
which can sell for twice as much
or more as conventional milk
are strongagain. Sales for organic
whole milk were up 16 percent
from January through November
of last year compared with a year
earlier, even as sales of conven-
tional milkdeclined, accordingto
federal agricultural statistics.
Some farmers have switchedto
less expensive feed, but that re-
duced production. Griffin, who
runs Raindance Organic Farm 55
miles west of Albany, is losing
money as costs outrun prices.
She sold15 cows in the fall so she
couldaffordtobuy feedfor her re-
maining cows.
Some struggling farms are
switching back to conventional
milkor leavingthe dairy business
entirely. Milk Thistle Farm, a
Hudson Valley farm that was a
popular vendor at New York City
farmers markets, recently an-
nounced that it no longer could
afford to continue production.
HorizonandOrganic Valleysay
they have more dairy farmers
making the transition to organic.
But Ed Maltby of the Northeast
Organic Producers Alliance said
not as many farmers are making
the switch because of the eco-
nomics.
The farmers plight illuminates
an unusual feature of the U.S.
dairy economy: Most farmers do
not set their own milk prices. Or-
ganic farmers typically enter into
contracts with processors. This
provides stability compared with
the month-to-month pricing of
conventional milk, but it has
caused problems once food and
fuel costs took off.
Some farm advocates say addi-
tional price pressure comes from
industrial-style organic farming
operations with 1,000 or more
milking cows that are producing
more milk for private label
store brands sold in supermar-
kets and box stores. The large-
scale operations, some with their
own processing plants, can pro-
duce the milk less expensively
than traditional farms and put
pressure on all producers to keep
prices low.
Though no one knows when
supply will catch up with de-
mand, many expect it to at least
ease in a couple of months with
the production boost that comes
each spring when the fields are in
bloom and cows can graze.
Maltby is more pessimistic.
Perhaps when the cows go out
to pasture in the spring, there
might be an increase in produc-
tion, but we dont anticipate that
happening dramatically, Maltby
said. Nothing will really change
until the price that the farmer
gets paid starts to meet their cost
of production.
Organic milk demand up, supplies low

as more consumers are willing to pay premium prices for organic

high feed and fuel prices have left some organic dairy farmers
simply unable to keep up with demand.

Astronger economy means we
get to be vain again. The unem-
ployment rate is at its lowest lev-
el since 2009, and personal in-
come for Americans has grown
for five straight months. That
means people can afford to
spend on things that may have
seemed frivolous at the depth of
the recession. Citi analyst Mat-
thew Dodds recently upgraded
Cynosure (CYNO) to Buy, for
example. He expects much of
the companys growth to come
from increased demand for its
PinPointe foot laser, which helps
clear toenails of fungus, and Cel-
lulaze, a cellulite treatment. Van-
ity is back, Dodds says.
ANOMALY
February has been a good month for stocks so
far: The S&P 500 is up 4 percent following a re-
port that showed the strongest job growth since
April. But February has historically been a loser
for the market. Since 1950, the S&P 500 has
dropped an average of 0.2 percent in February,
according to the Stock Traders Almanac. Its the
only month between October and May that has
historically been a loser. One sign of caution for
this February: Trucking companies, railroads and
other companies in the Dow Jones Transports in-
dex are down 1.5 percent. Some investors see
their movements as a good gauge for the econo-
my, because a healthy economy moves more
products around the country. Since 1950, the
S&P 500 has fallen 29 times in February and ris-
en 33 times. The drops have been bigger than
the rises, meaning the average performance for
the month is a decline of 0.2 percent.
DONT GIVE UP ON TREASURYS
As long as Europes debt crisis re-
mains, investors will keep buying
Treasurys, says Murillo Campello, a
professor of finance at Cornell
Universitys Samuel Curtis Johnson
Graduate School of Management.
Campello says the problems in
Greece that grab much of the head-
lines these days are also present in
other countries in the region. Investors
who want the relative safety of bonds
might be interested in top-rated coun-
tries like Australia and New Zealand,
but their bond markets are small. So,
Campello says, look for investors to
keep buying U.S. debt including
big companies in the U.S. and Europe
that have a lot of cash and want a se-
cure place to put it.

Stocks look like a good long-term
buy, says John Manley, chief
equity strategist for Wells Fargo
Advantage Funds. But he expects
them to
remain
volatile in
the near
term. Thats
because the
stock
market is
acting like
the bond
market
vigilantes of
earlier
decades:
The market will drop sharply to grab
politicians attention when theyre
falling short of fixing economic
problems.
So, this market reminds you of
the past?
I think there are a great number of
analogies between today and
1980. Then, as now, wed already
had two bear markets because of
the -flation problem. Then it was
inflation, now its deflation.
Then, as now, we had a sense
that whatever it was going to take
to fix the problem was going to be
pretty darn painful. Back then, it
was the bond market vigilantes:
The market took control, along with
the chairman of the Federal
Reserve, and interest rates had to
go to 16 to 18 percent. That was
incredibly painful, it was the
Reagan recession. But oddly
enough, had you bought the S&P in
January or February of 1980, you
were never down more than 5
percent on that investment, even
through the end of 1982.
I think, to a certain degree, we
have to go through the same thing,
except this time I think the stock
market is acting as the bond market
did back then. Stock market
vigilantes. What happened in
August and September (of 2011,
when stocks tumbled worldwide)
was almost a slap in the face for
Europe. The capital markets were
not going to let them get away with
this stuff anymore.
So where is the market headed
from here?
We are still in a trading range as far
as Im concerned. Nothing is really
truly fixed yet.
I strongly recommend that
people buy stocks for the long term.
But in a strange way, if Im right, the
market will have to go down from
time to time for the market to go up.
In other words, the market will have
to act as the disciplinarian. The
market will have to punish
(politicians for) any failure to move
forward in dealing with these issues.
Youre not worried about slowing
profit growth?
You dont have to be a wizard to see
that profits are at a record level, and
that in the past, profits inevitably
regressed to the mean. So even if
2012 is flattish, you have to worry
that 2013 is going to be lower.
But whats different this time is
that corporate profits are at these
levels without the economy
booming. We have a very tepid
economy at best. We have fairly
high levels of unemployment. We
have very questionable growth,
maybe decelerating growth. That
sort of begs the question: Why is
this happening?
Maybe margins are higher for a
different reason. My theory is
technology. The next best thing to
finding out youre right is to find out
youre wrong as quickly as
possible. Thats what technology,
data processing and rapid
telecommunications have done.
Theyve let businesses know how
to operate more efficiently.
They get better feedback so you
dont get a second year of the
Edsel (a Ford car that flopped).
Retailing is the obvious example of
this: Dont run the second run of
Nehru jackets. That could result
and has resulted in a step up in
profitability.

Possible winners
Boeing
The aerospace company looks to have fared best in
the budget, Credit Suisse analyst Robert Spingarn
says. Funding for its AH-64 Apache attack helicopter
would rise 56 percent to $1.2 billion next fiscal year.
The military also identified Boeings KC-46 aerial
refueling tanker as one of its top priorities.
KEYW Holding
The military is worried about hackers, and the budget
calls for $3.4 billion in cybersecurity funding for next
fiscal year and $18 billion the next five years. Thats
good for KEYW, a cybersecurity provider. About 80
percent of its workers are allowed to work on sensitive
government projects, Sterne Agee analysts say.
General Dynamics
The budget calls for spending on General Dynamics
Abrams tanks to fall 84 percent to $74 million next
fiscal year. Spending on its Stryker armored vehicles
would fall 57 percent to $332 million. They are two of
the biggest products in General Dynamics combat
systems business, its second-largest by revenue.
Northrop Grumman
The military will cut funding to one of Northrop
Grummans unmanned aircraft models by $2.5 billion
over the next five fiscal years. The budget also
slashes spending on the companys weather satellite
systems by $2.3 billion through the fiscal year ending
in 2017.
B-Day, or Budget Day, came
Monday for investors in defense
stocks. President Obama submitted
his spending requests for the fiscal
year that begins Oct. 1 -- including
his proposals for cutting defense
spending to reduce the deficit.
The budget proposes $614
billion in defense spending next
fiscal year, down 6 percent from
$656 billion this year. The Army
would take the deepest cuts, while
the Navys budget would increase
slightly.
The proposed budget will likely
change as Congress debates it, but
heres a look at potential winners
and losers:

Banks have many reasons to feel nervous, from tighter regulations
to volatile stock markets to Europes debt crisis. Theyve responded by
cutting workers and other costs, and that could spell trouble for many
other companies.
This screen from Goldman Sachs shows companies that get 40 per-
cent or more of their revenue from the financial services industry. That
revenue could be under threat if banks keep cutting costs.
So far this earnings season, several companies have already said
that theyve seen weaker demand from banks. Juniper Networks, for
example, said that some of its largest customers in the financial servic-
es industry cut their spending last quarter.
Bank of America alone is in the midst of cutting 30,000 jobs over the
next few years as part of a plan to reduce annual costs by $5 billion by
2014. Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, UBS and others have announced lay-
offs of thousands of more workers.
Goldman Sachs strategists said recently they expect banks to con-
tinue focusing on costs, boding ill for those with financial exposure.

Mortgage rates stay at record low
The average rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage
held at its record low of 3.87 percent last week, ac-
cording to Freddie Mac. Mortgage rates tend to
track changes in the yield on the 10-year Treasury,
and it has been mostly dropping over the last year.
A year ago, the average 30-year fixed rate was 5
percent. Rates on certificates of deposit and other
savings accounts also remain low.

The Pentagon Refocuses
The Pentagon recently began cut-
ting billions of dollars from its 2013
budget. Planned cuts range from
delaying orders for a new aircraft
carrier from Huntington Ingalls, to
shrinking the Army by an additional
30,000 soldiers, to slowing down the
rate of purchase of Lockheed Mar-
tins new F-35 stealth fighter jet.
How will America do more with
less? In part, by shifting from high-
cost manned weapons to lower-cost
robotic ones. The U.S. Marine
Corps plans to weaponize more
Textron Shadow unmanned aerial
vehicles (UAVs). Historically, the
Shadow has been unarmed, used pri-
marily Ior observation. When it saw
a bad guy it would call for a more
robust ally to bomb it. The Marines
now want to cut out the middleman
and turn the Shadow into a shooter
in its own right. But at just 11 feet
long with a 14-foot wingspan, the
Shadow is far too small to carry
most conventional munitions. The
solution: Build smaller bombs.
The Pentagon has already tasked
Alliant Techsystems and Ray-
theon with developing miniature
guided bombs (25 pounds or less).
The Marines are testing a differ-
ent munition. If these work and
small UAVs such as the Shadow
can operate as armed drones, this
should result in new sales opportu-
nities for the major defense weap-
ons makers and savings for U.S.
taxpayers. (The Motley Fool owns

Bad Timing
In 2007, I worked in the gypsum
industry and knew that USG was a
great company. I saw that the price
had dropped, and Warren BuIIett
was buying shares. So I bought at
$49, figuring that when housing
recovered, USG would soar. Well,
Im still waiting and its
now down near $13. Maybe
housing will recover some-
time in my lifetime, maybe
not. George, online
The Fool Responds: Some-
times we must wait a long time for
depressed stock prices to get back
to more reasonable levels. The
beleaguered housing industry has
kept many companies down, and it
may still be a while before it really
heats up again. There have been
some promising signs, though. The
homebuilding company Lennar
recently reported a 20 percent jump
in orders which boosted USGs
stock price by 10 percent, as inves-
tors anticipated growing sales of
drywall. The protracted sluggishness
of USG stock is a great reminder
of why we should only invest long-
term money in stocks. In the short
term, anything can happen. We
should focus on where we expect a
stock to be many years from now.

Too Few Numbers
Q
I want to find great stocks.
Should I look for low P/E
ratios and high dividend yields?
M.J., Goshen, Ind.
A
Those are promising criteria,
but theyre not fail-safe. For
one thing, youll miss outstanding
investments that pay little or no
dividends. For example, Apple and
Warren BuIIett`s Berkshire Hatha-
way pay no dividends. Companies
also sometimes sport high yields
and low price-to-earnings ratios
only because their stock price has
tumbled due to some major trouble.
Consider The New York Times
Co. In recent years, its revenue has
shrunk, and its earnings per share
(EPS) has sputtered. Over the past
decade, its stock price dropped
from the $40s to less than $10 per
share. It kept raising its dividend
during much of that time, until
slashing and then suspending it in
2008. Until that point, its yield was
rising, looking increasingly attrac-
tive and even topping 5 percent.
But behind the fat yield was a
floundering company.
Never make a purchase
decision based on only a few
numbers. The more you learn
about a company, the sounder
your decision should be.
***
Q
Is it smart to buy more shares
of a stock when its price has
fallen? L.E., Watertown, S.D.
A
This is called averaging
down. Its often regrettable
because theres frequently a good
reason why a stock is dropping.
There are some exceptions to
this rule, though. For example,
perhaps the entire market has
swooned, taking your holding
with it. Or maybe the market
seems to have significantly
overreacted to your companys
latest news, sending its shares
down sharply. If so, you can snap
up some bargain-priced shares.
Before you average down,
always take the time to re-evaluate
the business.

OS ANGELES The tech broke the bud of marijuana into small flakes, mea-
suring 200 milligrams into a vial. He had picked up the strain, Ghost, earlier that
day froma dispensary in the Valley and guessed by its pungency and visible resin
glands that it was potent. He could have determined this the old-fashioned way, with a
bong and a match. Instead, he began the meticulous process of preparing the sample for
the high pressure liquid chromatograph.
His lab, called The Werc Shop,
tests medical cannabis for levels of
the psychoactive ingredient known
as THCand a fewdozen other com-
pounds, as well as for contaminants
like molds, bacteria and pesticides
that marijuana advocates dont
much like to talk about. The strains
that pass muster are labeled Certi-
fied Cannabaceuticals, a trade-
marked term.
The commercial lab is one of doz-
ens opening in the last two years, as
a rush to build an industry around
medical marijuana has produced a
desire by some to know what
exactly is in the medicine.
The idea is that patients dont
popaVicodinnot knowingif thepill
has 5 milligrams of hydrocodone or
15. Nor do people make drinks won-
dering if they are pouring beer or
bourbon or Bacardi 151.
Every pharmaceutical requires
quality control and assurance, ev-
ery diet supplement, every vita-
min, said Jeff Raber, the Werc
Shop founder and president, who
has a Ph.D. in chemistry fromUSC.
Why not treat this like medicine?
With testing, pot-users can stroll
into a high-end store, look at a me-
nu and decide what level of THC
they want in their weed. And since
dispensaries post their menus on
popular directories like weedmap-
s.com and stickyguide.com, cus-
tomers can first shop around online
for the strongest strain of bud for
the dollar.
But is this tidy new glimpse of
marijuana retail illusory?
Only some top-end dispensaries
test their products, and even they
cant be sure the results are reliable.
Because all marijuana possession is
illegal under federal law and the
Justice Department has been crack-
ing down recently the nascent
labs are as unregulated and vulner-
able to prosecution as dispensaries
and growers. In Colorado, the one
lab that tried to get a license from
the Drug Enforcement Administra-
tion was promptly raided by that
agency.
That very week, Los Angeles
passed its marijuana ordinance,
which required testing by inde-
pendent and certified labs, with-
out specifyingwhowas supposedto
do the certifying. Long Beach fol-
lowed suit two months later.
Making the situation even wool-
lier: There are no federal standards
for pesticides in marijuana.
So, along with the rest of the in-
dustry, the businesses operate in a
raucous frontier, withdrug-labcow-
boys pulling up to pot shops with
second-hand equipment to offer
lab-tested results.
The more prominent operations
inCaliforniaincludingSteepHill
in Oakland, Halent in Sacramento
and The Werc Shop in Los Angeles
Countyhave recentlyformedthe
Association of California Cannabis
Laboratories to set equipment stan-
dards and methodology and to give
a seal of approval for those who
comply. They also hope to advance
the science of marijuana, decipher-
ing which compounds do what in a
plant that can produce a broad
range of psychological and physio-
logical effects.

THEBESTMan
won. Thats the clos-
ing line in a play writ-
ten by Gore Vidal. It
opened on Broadway,
March 31, 1960 at the
Morosco Theater.
Considered one of
the finest political dramas written for the
stage, The Best Man starred Lee Tracey
as former President Arthur Hockstader,
Melvyn Douglas as the cerebral Secretary
of State WilliamRussell and Frank Love-
joy played Sen. Joe Cantwell thought
to be a composite character based on
then-presidential candidates Richard
Nixon and John F. Kennedy.
Russell and Cantwell are the leading
contenders among five candidates vying
for the partys presidential nomination at
their national convention in Philadelphia.
The Best Man, adapted to the silver
screen in1964, continued Tracey as Hock-
stader but cast Cliff Robertson in the role
of Joe Cantwell. Robertson had just por-
trayed JFKin the cinematic hit, PT109
(1963), and when Ronald Reagan audi-
tioned for the part of Russell he was
thought not to appear adequately presi-
dential. The lead went to Henry Fonda.
Without ruining the plot, the movie
runs less than two hours and is available
free online; the characters arrive at their
nominating convention with no candi-
date having a majority of delegates
pledged. Russell is16 votes shy of the
nomination.
Could such a scenario be playing out
for Republicans scheduled to meet on
Aug. 29 in Tampa, Fla. to nominate their
2012 candidates for president and vice
president?
Is it conceivable, after Republican
primaries and caucuses conclude with
Utah on June 26, that neither Mitt Rom-
ney, nor Newt Gingrich, or Rick Santo-
rumor Ron Paul will have the necessary
1,144 pledged delegates to secure the
Republican presidential nomination on
the first ballot?
Unlikely. But, with fewwinner-take-all
primaries and a Supreme Court decision
allowing unlimited cash to be funneled to
political action committees, it is no long-
er impossible.
If these Fab Four continue arguing all
the way to Tampa, it becomes increasing-
ly difficult for one to accumulate1,144
pledged delegates. So, why should any-
one withdraw? Ron Paul wont.
Romney will be 65 next month. Its his
last shot. Hes spent millions trying to
convince the fringe hes fringy, while
supported by establishment Republicans
convinced that losing with Romney will
minimize GOPlosses in the House and
Senate.
Newt will be 69 in June. Its his last
shot. He had the nomination in his grasp
until Romney put himthrough a food
processor in Iowa. Newt could withdraw,
giving Santorumcenter stage, or he can
accumulate delegates, deny Mitt at the
convention and donate his delegates to
one willing to rehabilitate his image.
Santorumhas come a long way, and
that terrifies congressional Republicans.
Its his last shot. He deserves to march his
delegates into Tampa and at least grab
the VPnod.
Currently Romney has123 delegates,
Santorum72, Gingrich 32, with19 dele-
gates pledged to Ron Paul. At this rate,
Romney is picking up 49 percent of dele-
gates. Santorumhas 29 percent, 13 per-
cent go to Gingrich, while Paul has re-
ceived 8 percent. Yet there are more than
2,000 delegates still to be won.
Hypothetically, were Romney to win
37 percent of those, Santorum33 per-
cent, Gingrich 20 percent and Paul 5
percent, the former governor would have
only 863 delegates, the former senator
732, the former Speaker 432 and con-
gressman Paul 119. Abrokered conven-
tion? Uh-oh.
Whats a brokered convention?
Fortunately, The Best Man is being
reprised on Broadway for 18 weeks begin-
ning in April at the Gerald Schoenfeld
Theatre. It stars James Earl Jones as
Hockstader; Angela Lansbury as party
vice chair; John Larroquette as Russell;
Candice Bergen as Mrs. Russell; and Eric
McCormack as Cantwell.

WASHINGTONSincePresident Ba-
rack Obama moved to require Catholic
hospitals and universities to offer their
employees contraceptive health benefits,
Republicanshaverushedtoaccusethead-
ministration of an unprecedented attack
on religious freedoms.
None has been more forceful than for-
mer Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who
accused Obama of a direct violation of
the First Amendment. But years before
the current partisan firestorm, GOP law-
makers and governors around the coun-
try, including Huckabee, backed similar
mandates.
Twenty-two states have laws or regula-
tions that resemble, at least in part, the
Obama administrations original rule.
More than a third had some Republican
support, a reviewof state records shows.
In six states, including Arkansas, those
contraceptive mandates were signed by
GOPgovernors.
In Massachusetts in 2006, then-Gov.
Mitt Romney signed a health care over-
haul that kept in place a contraceptive
mandate signed by his Republican prede-
cessor. Now the GOP presidential candi-
date is calling the Obama rule an assault
on religion.
At the federal level, President George
W. Bush never challenged a similar feder-
al mandate imposed in 2000.
The state laws were
the product of a cam-
paign by womens
groups and others that
began after insurers
startedcoveringViagra
for men.
Thecausehasalways
drawn more support
from Democrats, who
pushed successfully in
2010 to include a provi-
sion in the health care
lawdesignedtoexpand
womens access to pre-
ventive services like
contraception.
Butuntil recently, manyRepublicansal-
so supported expanding access to contra-
ceptives, even if it meant angering some
religious constituencies.
In1997, Sen. Olympia Snowe of Maine
and then-Rep. James C. Greenwood of
Pennsylvania cosponsored bills aimed at
requiring contraceptive coverage nation-
ally. Sevenadditional SenateRepublicans
and 15 other House Republicans signed
on to the legislation, though it never be-
came law.
Threeyears later, thefederal Equal Em-
ployment Opportunity Commission,
which is responsible for enforcing laws
against workplace discrimination, ruled
all employers with more than15 workers
must cover contraceptives for women if
they offer health plans that cover preven-
tive services and prescription drugs.
When Republicans took control of
WashingtonafterBushwonthe2000pres-
idential election, hisadministrationcould
have challenged that requirement, as it
did other mandates.
Butinhis2001confirmationhearingsto
be attorney general, John Ashcroft told
the Senate Judiciary Committee that he
would defend the rule promulgated by
the EEOC.
The original Obama regulation, re-
leased in January, went further than any
state by requiring that women receive
contraceptive benefits without co-pays or
deductibles, as required for all preventive
care under the health care law. But in ex-
empting only some religious organiza-
tions, the administration followed what
had become the approach used by many
states.
The administration would have ex-
emptedanemployerthathastheinculca-
tionof religiousvaluesasitspurpose,pri-
marily employs and serves people of the
same religion, and is a nonprofit.
That standard was understood to ex-
empt churches, but not religiouslyaffiliat-
ed hospitals and universities.
In the face of fierce blow-back, the ad-
ministration has since proposed a com-
promise that makes insurers, rather than
employers, responsiblefor thecost of con-
traceptive coverage for employees of reli-
giously affiliated institutions.
Congressional Republicans are push-
ing legislation to exempt all employers
from providing contraceptive coverage if
it goes against their beliefs.

Editorial
Today, the U.N. General
Assembly sent a clear message to
the people of Syria: the world is
with you.
Susan Rice
The U.S. ambassador made a statement after the United Nations voted
last week for a resolution backing an Arab League plan that calls for
Syrian President Bashar Assad to step down and strongly condemning
human rights violations by his regime.
FEW PEOPLE would deny that the U.S.
economy is badly damaged or that the
party with the more plausible plan for fix-
ing it is likely to win the coming election.
Yet neither party has proposed a plan
that realists can believe in. While Repub-
licans advocate yet more tax cuts and de-
regulation, Democrats propose further
stimulus and deficit spending. Both are
futile.
Tax cuts will fail because they reduce
government revenue, thereby necessitating
additional layoffs at the state and local
levels among police, firefighters, teachers
and others. Outside the beltway, budgets
have to balance, and deficit spending is not
an option. In any case, firing people is a
poor way to create jobs. The victims swell
the ranks of the unemployed, even as their
insolvency erodes demand for their ser-
vices.
History suggests that deregulation isnt
the answer either. As it affected the airlines
in the late 1970s, deregulation served main-
ly to create shareholder value by decreasing
the compensation of pilots, flight attend-
ants and airline mechanics.
Stimulus and deficit spending are even
less promising. Though widely believed to
have halted the economic freefall of late
2008 and early 2009, the combination has
yet to generate a recovery worthy of the
name. Economist Nouriel Roubini, together
with colleagues Daniel Alpert and Robert
Hockett, has recently released a proposal
for further economic stimulus leading, it is
hoped after five to seven additional years
of massive deficit spending to genuine
recovery. But a substantial portion of their
report is devoted to policies the Chinese
government must be persuaded to adopt
(including universal health care, education,
retirement benefits and substantial dis-
posable income), lest the benefits of Amer-
ican deficit spending accrue primarily to
that nation. How realistic is that?
The changes Roubini proposes would
have many of the same effects as a simple
protective tariff on imported goods, in-
creasing federal revenue and rendering U.S.
manufacturers more competitive in domes-
tic markets. Yet such is the power of the
free-trade lobby forged in the campaign to
pass NAFTA and the WTO that every re-
maining presidential candidate has explicit-
ly disowned protectionism. Should they?
Protectionism is the antithesis of the
free international trade that American
leaders have been preaching at least since
Woodrow Wilson made it one of his 14
points. As long as it received only lip ser-
vice, the doctrine had little effect on the
U.S. economy. But that changed soon after
it became official policy.
The turning point, according to trade
expert Ravi Batra, came in 1968, with the
conclusion of the so-called Kennedy Round
of the General Agreement on Tariffs and
Trade negotiations. Before then, he argues,
the U.S. economy had been relatively self-
sufficient. Only after 1973, when the OPEC
oil embargo fell like a wet blanket on the
growth prospects of energy-poor industri-
alizing nations such as Japan and South
Korea, did foreign firms and products begin
to enter U.S. markets in force.
Low-tech products such as textiles and
footwear came first, soon to be followed by
radios, televisions, automobiles, motorcy-
cles, refrigerators, air conditioners, gener-
ators, turbines, cameras and others long
supplied by U.S. firms. Often, the invaders
used tactics that would have violated U.S.
antitrust law had they been deployed by
domestic firms. Little of this export-led
growth would have been possible, accord-
ing to Batra, without the draconian U.S.
tariff reductions of the Kennedy and Tokyo
Rounds.
The enactment of a protective tariff of,
say, 30 percent on most imported goods
and services could increase government
revenue as much as half a trillion dollars
annually. The resulting scramble to reopen
or replace mothballed U.S. factories could
hardly fail to create a welcome flood of new
(albeit temporary) jobs. No other feasible
reform would have as large an impact on
either the nations finances or its employ-
ment prospects.
Yet no serious candidate dares to mouth
those words, for fear of being ridiculed by
the media and denied access to corporate
campaign funds.
To revive sluggish U.S. economy, best option is a tariff

COMMENTARY
J A M E S C A S E
No other feasible reform would have as
large an impact on either the nations
finances or its employment prospects.
SCHOOLS ACROSS Amer-
ica have entered a new era.
After four years of a stalled
debate over renewing the
No Child Left Behind Act,
the Obama administration
has set sail from the ac-
countability law.
The president announced this month
that 10 states no longer will be bound by
some provisions of the bipartisan measure
that was passed under President George
W. Bush in 2001. Look for more states to
join them.
Will this new course work?
We better hope it does.
The school accountability movement
started about 20 years ago because of a
growing concern among civil rights leaders
and business executives that campuses
were leaving behind poor and minority
students. If we retreat from the move-
ments driving force, which resulted in No
Child, poor minority kids one day will
wonder why the rest of us abandoned
them.
But here we are, so whats the best way
to look at the administrations moves? Lets
start with the positives:
The White House isnt fully cutting loose
those 10 states. They still must test their
students. They must show whether the
students are on a path that prepares them
for college or a good career. And they must
come up with better ways to evaluate
teachers and principals.
Each requirement matters. The rules
keep the pressure on those states to know
how well their students are achieving.
They create expectations for college or a
decent job. And they emphasize quality
teaching and school leadership.
That human capital part especially mat-
ters. School districts need better ways to
assess their principals and teachers other
than through cursory reviews. In return,
they also must be willing to help teachers
develop their skills.
Teachers might not like the emphasis on
more precise evaluations. But theres a
blessing in disguise for the struggling
teacher: Evaluations that better spotlight
shortcomings can lead to relevant training.
Heres another part to like: The states
must be clear about how they plan to as-
sess students, focus on college-readiness
and good jobs, and evaluate teachers. In
Colorados waiver request, for example, the
state gets detailed about how and when
the state will execute better evaluations.
But here are two parts to worry about,
and worry about a lot:
Will the feds enforce these waivers? If a
state doesnt comply, will Washington
really yank its exemption? To put it anoth-
er way, what will it take for the Education
Department to intervene?
Everyones saying the right thing now.
But what about in a few years, especially if
the White House grants more waivers?
And what if the Obama administration
isnt around in a year? Will a Republican
enforce these? I wouldnt bet on it, because
as many Republicans as Democrats are
retreating from the federal oversight of No
Child.
If you are the parent of a poor and/or
minority child in a failing school, you espe-
cially should fret about this change: Most
states winning the waivers no longer must
break apart their testing data to show how
well students did according to their race,
income and ethnicity. The disaggregation
of data was one of No Childs beauties
because it required states to report how
well students in various groups performed.
The waivers would let states lump stu-
dents together when reporting testing
data. The risk is that schools could mask
the problems some students are having in
learning at grade level.
This revision drew a swift complaint
from African-American blogger RiShawn
Biddle. On his Dropout Nation blog, he
blasted the administration for letting
states and districts off the hook for the
testing data of poor minority students.
So did the Education Trust, an orga-
nization that advocates for low-income
children. It liked some parts of the Obama
proposal, but questioned dropping the
reporting requirement.
No Child undoubtedly needed some
reworking. But the White House felt it
must go in a different direction. The onus
for making sure all kids progress is now
upon those who have sailed us into this
new era.

New direction of No Child mandate could go south
H
ALTING GANG ac-
tivity in Luzerne
County became a
matter of more wide-
spread concern this month af-
ter a machete assault outside a
Wilkes-Barre high school, dur-
ing which a 14-year-old boys
hand was maimed.
Suddenly, parents of school-
age children and others are
wondering about the safety of
areaschools hallwaysandcam-
puses.
Good. This rising awareness
of ongoing and potential prob-
lems should spur more people
to get the facts, and education
remains the primary tool in
combating the dead-end, dan-
gerous and destructive gang
culture.
Few gang members reach
AARP age because by then
most of them have either (1)
been killed, or (2) outgrown
the ridiculous and reckless
gang lifestyle, realizing the
phase was an immature part of
their development, like leaving
behind the diaper stage or the
pouty, self-absorbedteenyears.
The sooner we can get our
youths to realize point (2), the
more likely we can help them
avoid entry into gangs or
equally risky wannabe gangs
and the fast track to becom-
ing another statistic.
Of course, certain militant-
types who read todays edito-
rial will bristle at this notion.
They prefer only a hard-line ap-
proach, removing the bad
ones from school and society.
No doubt, law enforcement
provides our fastest and best
defense against ongoing gang
activity, but it wont stem the
tide of new recruits.
That takes involved teach-
ers, administrators, parents,
guardians andother concerned
citizens hopefullyyouwork-
ingcollaborativelytoreachand
teach susceptible youths.
A public program about
gangs in schools, featuring
gang-prevention expert D. Da-
rell Dones, is set for this week
in Wilkes-Barre. Expect to hear
plentyof discussionabout early
intervention and the impor-
tance of role models.
We fail to provide the guid-
ance andthe discipline that the
baby boomers and others have
had before us, Dones said dur-
inga June 2011gatheringinthe
Hazleton area. And because of
that, weve pretty much lost
control of our kids. ... If we
dont take control of our kids,
the streets will.
In essence, the publics best
response to gangs isnt to grab
bigger guns and cower behind
locked doors. Instead, more of
us need to get behind mentor-
ing efforts such as Big Brothers
Big Sisters and to be there
when our communitys chil-
dren need us most: before its
too late.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
P
ENN STATE officials
madegoodona prom-
ise last week when
they released details
of how much they have paid
lawyers, consultants and pub-
lic relations firms in the after-
math of child sexual abuse al-
legations against its former as-
sistant football coach, Jerry
Sandusky.
Now they need to do more.
On Monday, the university
launched a new website in-
tended to demonstrate an in-
creased commitment to pub-
lic disclosure. The site con-
tains answers to questions
about the scandal, updates
from administrators, Penn
States budget and copies of
contracts with President Rod-
ney Erickson, $515,000 a year;
football coach Bill OBrien,
$2.3million; actingathletic di-
rector David Joyner, $33,000
per month; and David Gray,
senior vice president for fi-
nance and business, $355,008
a year.
Thats a far cry from Penn
States previous refusal to say
how much it was paying leg-
endary coach Joe Paterno or
release other key information
about campus operations, but
its still lacking. The school
wont detail its settlement
with the late Joe Paterno, who
was fired after Sanduskys ar-
rest, or withits past president,
who resigned in the midst of
the controversy.
Even worse is Penn States
exemption from the states
open records law.
If the university is serious
about its newfound support
for being forthright, it doesnt
have to wait for a change in
law to change its behavior.
And, just in case its flirtation
with openness is fleeting, law-
makers in Harrisburg should
waste no time in making sure
that open records are a matter
of law for Penn State.

points for
cleverness.
President
Obamas birth
control ac-
commoda-
tion was as
politically successful as it was
morally meaningless. It was
nothing but an accounting trick
that still forces Catholic (and
other religious) institutions to
provide medical insurance that
guarantees free birth control,
tubal ligation and morning-
after abortifacients all of
which violate church doctrine
on the sanctity of life.
The trick is that these birth
control/abortion services sup-
posedly will be provided inde-
pendently and free of charge by
the religious institutions insur-
ance company. But this changes
none of the moral calculus.
Holy Cross Hospital, for exam-
ple, is still required by law to
engage an insurance company
that is required by law to pro-
vide these doctrinally pro-
scribed services to all Holy
Cross employees.
Nonetheless, the accounting
device worked politically. It
took only a handful of compli-
ant Catholic groups Obama-
care cheerleaders dying to
return to the fold to hail the
alleged compromise, and hand
Obama a major political victo-
ry.
Before, Obamas coalition
had been split. His birth control
mandate was fiercely opposed
by such stalwart friends as
former Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine
and pastor Rick Warren (Oba-
mas choice to give the invoca-
tion at his inauguration), who
declared he would go to jail
rather than abide by the regu-
lation. After the accommoda-
tion, it was the (mostly) Ca-
tholic opposition that fractured.
The mainstream media then
bought the compromise as
substantive, and the issue was
defused.
A brilliant sleight of hand.
But lets for a moment accept
the president on his own terms.
Lets accept his contention that
this accommodation is a real
shift of responsibility to the
insurer. Has anyone considered
the import of this new man-
date? The president of the
United States has just ordered
private companies to give away
for free a service that his own
health and human services
secretary has repeatedly called
a major financial burden.
On what authority? This is
government by presidential fiat.
Consider the constitutional
wreckage
First, its assault on the free
exercise of religion. Only
churches themselves are left
alone. Beyond the churchyard
gate, religious autonomy dis-
appears. Every other religious
institution must bow to the
state because, by this adminis-
trations regulatory definition,
church schools, hospitals and
charities are not religious,
and thus have no right to the
free exercise of religion.
Second, its assault on free
enterprise. To solve his own
political problem, the president
presumes to order a private
company to enter into a con-
tract for the provision of certain
services all of which are free.
And yet, this breathtaking
arrogation of power is simply
the logical extension of Wash-
ingtons takeover of the private
system of medical care.
Under Obamacare, the
state treats private insurers the
way it does government-regu-
lated monopolies and utilities.
It determines everything of
importance.
Third, the assault on individ-
ual autonomy. Every citizen
without insurance is ordered to
buy it, again under penalty of
law. This so-called individual
mandate is now before the
Supreme Court because never
before has the already inflated
Commerce Clause been used to
compel a citizen to enter into a
private contract with a private
company by mere fact of his
existence.
This constitutional trifecta
the state invading the autono-
my of religious institutions,
private companies and the
individual citizen should not
surprise. It is what happens
when the state takes over one-
sixth of the economy.
In 2010, when all this lay
hazily in the future, the sheer
arrogance of Obamacare
energized a popular resistance
powerful enough to deliver an
electoral shellacking to Obama.
Yet two years later, as the con-
sequences of that overreach
materialize before our eyes, the
issue is fading. This constitutes
a huge failing of the opposition
party whose responsibility it is
to make the opposition argu-
ment.
Every presidential challenger
says he will repeal Obama-
care on Day One. Well, yes.
But is any of them making the
case for why?

ANOTHER VIEW
A photograph by Aimee Dilger
and words by Mark E. Jones
WHEN people
hear I moved
my family to
Long Island
from South
Carolina, they
want to know
if the crazy
stories theyve heard about
the lands beyond the North-
east are true.
I met a man from South
Carolina, a wild feller, who
told impossible tales about ...
cost-of-living, one Long Islan-
der said. Is it true that the
houses are free, and you pay
your school taxes with change
from under the couch cush-
ions?
Well, not quite.
I own a 3,000-square-foot
home in Spartanburg, S.C.,
that I rent out. Its on about an
acre, in a lovely neighborhood
with good schools. The house
would probably fetch
$235,000, just less than a real-
ly roomy cardboard box in
Great Neck. The annual taxes
are $2,300. Not per month,
per year.
By contrast, the average
Nassau County, N.Y., family of
four pays $2,000 per year for
the county police department
alone.
South Carolina spends
about $13,000 per student on
education.
At least 20 districts on Long
Island spend more than
$30,000. And my daughters
school in Spartanburg was
better than the very highly
rated one she attends here.
Whether that makes the
South sound like a version of
heaven amply stocked with
grills and pools is up to you.
But many do think the South
and the West are the Promised
Land and that, financially,
New York is a chilly version of
hell.
In 1953, New York contained
45 of the nations 435 congres-
sional districts, which are
apportioned by population. It
now has 29, and next year,
that number will drop to 27.
Consider the U-Haul factor,
a fascinating measure of
which way the migratory
American is flying. U-Haul
must have trucks where peo-
ple will rent them, so it charg-
es vastly different amounts for
one-way trips based on where
youre moving.
As of earlier this month, a
one-way rental for a 10-foot
truck picked up in Smithtown,
N.Y., and dropped off in Spar-
tanburg, S.C., would run you a
flat $1,022. A one-way rental
of the same truck in the oppo-
site direction would cost $435.
A U-Haul truck dropped off
in New York can be rented
immediately to a family of
Yankee cost-of-living victims
ready to flee for cheaper pas-
tures. But the vehicle depos-
ited in South Carolina might
sit a spell before anyone
comes along to say: Im sick
of all this sunshine and affor-
dability. Lets head for a place
where the salt piles glisten.
If it werent for the 7.4 mil-
lion people who moved to
New York from other coun-
tries over the last 50 years, the
states population would have
dropped by about a quarter.
New York is a great place to
live if youre looking at it from
Bangladesh or Krakow. But to
America, its not so inviting.
Its true that the states folks
are flocking to have better
weather, but they always did.
Its a reason why people are
leaving, but its also an ex-
cuse.
Every place has flaws, but it
seems as if New York is broken
in ways very hard to fix.
Could the education lobby
ever be forced to make schools
affordable?
Could the police unions,
and all the other public
unions, accept the changes in
work rules and benefits need-
ed to get taxes in line?
Could workers accept the
lower wages it would take to
get manufacturing back?
Could NIMBYs accept sig-
nificant new commercial,
industrial and residential
development to get things
moving in the right direction?
Its possible. Its worth fight-
ing for.
But it will take some ex-
traordinary changes in how
things work in New York.
My family and I love New
York.
We moved here for my ca-
reer, and to be closer to my
relatives, and for the opportu-
nities it offers my daughter,
and because the food, culture
and energy are all spectacular.
But Im not buying a house
here yet. I already own one,
and the taxes are $2,300.
Per year.

If it werent for the 7.4 million
people who moved to New York
from other countries over the
last 50 years, the states
population would have dropped
by about a quarter. New York is
a great place to live if youre
looking at it from Bangladesh

THE YEAR 2012 is
shaping up as a big
one for same-sex
marriage. This
month, the Washing-
ton state legislature
passed a bill allowing
gay marriage, and
legislatures in Maryland and New
Jersey might follow suit soon (though
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has
promised a veto). North Carolina and
Minnesota are conducting referen-
dums this year on constitutional
amendments to bar gay marriage, and
Maine is likely to conduct a referen-
dum on legalizing it.
On Tuesday, the U.S. 9th Court of
Appeals reminded us that courts too
have something to say on the subject.
In a case challenging the constitu-
tionality of Californias Proposition 8,
that court ruled in favor of gay mar-
riage.
Because its ruling was so narrow
that it might not be applicable outside
California, the U.S. Supreme Court
may decide not to review this deci-
sion. Eventually, though, the Supreme
Court will take a gay marriage case.
How might the justices decide it when
they do?
As recently as seven or eight years
ago, there might not have been a sin-
gle justice prepared to declare a feder-
al constitutional right to same-sex
marriage. Opinion polls then showed
that Americans opposed gay marriage
by a 2-1 margin, and a Massachusetts
court decision declaring a right to gay
marriage under the state constitution
produced an enormous political back-
lash in 2004, with 13 states enacting
constitutional bans. Even liberal justic-
es such as Ruth Bader Ginsburg and
Stephen G. Breyer, who probably sym-
pathize with gay marriage, might well
have been wary of venturing too far in
advance of public opinion and stoking
further political backlash.
The situation has since changed
dramatically. Opinion polls now con-
sistently show that a slender majority
of Americans support gay marriage.
State supreme courts in California,
Connecticut and Iowa have ruled in its
favor, and legislatures in five states
have enacted gay-marriage statutes. If
liberal judges on state supreme courts
now regularly support gay marriage,
liberal justices on the U.S. Supreme
Court are likely to do so as well.
Why is gay marriage inevitable?
First, the basic insight of the gay
rights movement over the last four
decades has proved powerfully cor-
rect: As more gays and lesbians have
come out of the closet, the social envi-
ronment has become more gay-friend-
ly. In turn, as the social environment
has become more hospitable, more
gays and lesbians have felt free to
come out of the closet. This social
dynamic is powerfully reinforcing and
unlikely to be reversed.
A second reason that gay marriage
seems inevitable is that young people
so strongly support it. One study by
political scientists found a gap of 44
percentage points between the oldest
and youngest survey respondents in
their attitudes toward gay marriage. A
2011 poll found that 70 percent of
those age 18 to 34 supported gay mar-
riage. It is hard to imagine a scenario
in which young peoples support for
gay marriage dissipates as they grow
older.
In recent years, many conservatives
have begun to acknowledge the inevi-
tability of gay marriage, even as they
continue to strongly oppose it. In
March 2011, Albert Mohler, president
of the Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary, said on a Christian radio
program that it is clear that some-
thing like same-sex marriage ... is
going to become normalized, legalized
and recognized in the culture.
Its time, he continued, for Chris-
tians to start thinking about how were
going to deal with that.
That a particular social change
might be inevitable, given certain
background conditions, does not mean
that opponents will cease fighting it.
White Southerners continued to mas-
sively resist Brown long after most of
them came to believe that school de-
segregation was inevitable.
Similarly, those who believe that gay
marriage contravenes Gods will are
not likely to stop fighting it simply
because their prospects of success are
diminishing.
Moreover, because religious conser-
vatives are both intensely opposed to
gay marriage and highly mobilized
politically, they are likely for the next
several years to continue exerting
significant influence over Republican
politicians who need their support to
win primary elections.
Although the ultimate outcome of
the contest over gay marriage no long-
er seems in doubt, plenty of fighting
remains until that battle is over.
Although opposition to it will continue, gay marriage is inevitable

Komen dispute
a call to action
A
s a Catholic woman, I
want to respond to Sue
Haas letter to the editor
(Women display muscle in
Komen controversy, Feb. 8)
about the Komen Foundation
and Planned Parenthood.
Years ago I participated in
the Race for the Cure and
attended fundraisers in sup-
port of the Komen Foundation
until I found out the founda-
tion was giving grants to
Planned Parenthood, the
largest abortion provider in
the country (more than
320,000 abortions last year).
In addition to abortion, Ms.
Haas failed to mention the
biological connection between
the increased risk for breast
cancer from abortion and also
using birth control drugs.
Hmm so why would Komen
support Planned Parenthood?
It must be the mammograms.
Well, Planned Parenthood
does not perform mammo-
grams; it refers women for
them but doesnt perform
them.
Haas also failed to mention
that when the decision was
made to stop the grants to
Planned Parenthood, Komen
received much support from
pro-life women and men, and
its donations increased signif-
icantly. She also stated that 22
senators sent a letter to Ko-
men to reverse its decision; I
applaud the senators who
didnt sign the letter.
Yes, the power of pro-choice
(abortion rights) women is
strong in the country, though
their arguments for pro-choice
rights are being refuted now
through information and tech-
nology ultrasounds. There
are many pro-life women and
men (young and old) who are
stepping up to defend the lives
of the innocent, living unborn
children human beings!
We are their voices, since
they cant speak, write, pray or
protest.

Romney clueless
on economic cure
N
ot long ago, Mitt Romney
accused President Barack
Obama of not doing
enough to create jobs in Amer-
ica. Can it be that Romney
somehow missed Obamas
ambitious, fiscally responsible
American Jobs Act, which the
president brought out last
September?
Doesnt Romney realize that
the jobs act will help small
businesses access capital and
grow, provide tax credits to
businesses that hire veterans,
invest $35 billion in local
communities to prevent lay-
offs of teachers, cops and
firefighters, set aside another
$25 billion to modernize at
least 35,000 public schools,
spend $50 billion to upgrade
infrastructure in Americas
highway, transit, rail and avia-
tion systems, reform our un-
employment insurance system
and help more Americans
refinance mortgages on their
homes.
If Romney hasnt heard
about President Obamas
efforts to create jobs, then he
probably doesnt know that
Republicans in both the Sen-
ate and House of Representa-
tives wont even discuss the
jobs act, much less pass it.
These stories were in all the
newspapers. Even Rick Santo-
rum is in the loop!
Then again, its possible,
even likely, that Romney really
does know all about the jobs
act. And he also knows that
Republican strategy seemingly
is to let the economy sink and
then blame the president for
not fixing it. And they expect
a majority of voters to believe
them, blame the president and
replace Barack Obama with a
Republican, e.g., Romney, on
Election Day in November.
I call that putting whats
best for the party above doing
whats best for the nation.
Although other names for this
strategy might occur to the
discerning reader.

Elected Congress
has power, too
I
n the media, day after day, I
hear comments about how
the president of the United
States is, or is not, doing what
he is supposed to do to help
the American people. This
confuses me, since when I was
in school they taught me
about the checks and balances
of the American political sys-
tem. This system ensured and
provided fair and appropriate
government for the people.
If this is the case, how can
people blame a president for
what is happening in Amer-
ica? It seems as though under
this checks-and-balances sys-
tem that the Senate and the
House of Representatives play
a crucial and most determin-
ing factor in what becomes
law.
Although a president and
his cabinet can make suggesti-
ons, the true power appears to
lie with Congress. Sure, the
president can veto its suggest-
ions when brought for his/her
approval, but Congress can
override the presidents veto
by a majority vote.
What appears to have hap-
pened over the last 200 or so
years is that Congress has
become more bound to a
particular political party phi-
losophy than to checks and
balances for the welfare of the
American people.
I only wish people would
look at what is happening
with the political process in
America today and cast their
votes to make a difference, but
remember who really is mak-
ing the rules.

Obama is stifling
American dream
T
he most disturbing aspects
of President Obamas State
of the Union address were
the condescension and elitism
dripping from every word. He
seemingly does not compre-
hend that it is not up to him to
define what the American
dream means for each citi-
zen.
Listen closely and its obvi-
ous that our president, the
leader of the most opportuni-
ty-rich nation in the world,
cannot conceptualize that
someone below his economic
status cannot only aspire to be
at his wealth level, but achieve
and exceed it. Statements
such as Im doing OK, but
folks like you need help con-
vey his ingrained sense of
superiority and patronizing
view of the American public.
His examples of whats pos-
sible in our country invariably
involve people who through
poor life planning or suspect
decision making end up needi-
ng government assistance to
right their lives.
Yes, we can take some mea-
sure of inspiration from those
who have experienced difficul-
ty through their personal
failings or outside causes,
then achieved some level of
sustainability with the aid of a
taxpayer-funded program. The
trouble point is when the
single, employed mother of
three who pays not a penny in
income taxes on top of an
additional stipend of earned
income tax credits is held out
as a shining example of the
promise of America, while the
businessman who has employ-
ed thousands and pays $3
million a year in taxes is seen
as the non-contributor.
Today, more than ever, we
need a leader who under-
stands and can communicate
that the pathway to success is
available to all who want to
follow its intractable tenets
rather than one who projects
that, were it not for the manna
from his beneficence, we
would be lucky to get through
high school and hold on to a
job.

Geisinger Souths
season of growth
I
ts been a busy few years
since Geisinger assumed
ownership of the South
Wilkes-Barre campus. Im
writing to tell you about some
of the progress weve made
since 2009.
Since that day two years
ago, our team of nurses, doc-
tors and administrators has
been working hard to improve
the services we provide in the
close-knit South Wilkes-Barre
community.
In December, our inpatient
rehabilitation center opened
an aquatic therapy pool and
started an evening activity
program hosted by local vol-
unteers. These new programs
enhance an already popular
unit that was remodeled,
relocated and increased in size
in 2009. Our interventional
pain management center also
helps patients overcome debil-
itating pain by offering more
advanced procedures such as
acupuncture, steroid injec-
tions and nerve blocks. Addi-
tionally, we help provide relief
from sleep problems at our
Sleep Disorders Center.
To better accommodate
families who might have mul-
tiple appointments on the
same day, many of our im-
provements have been in the
areas of pediatrics and wom-
ens health. Pediatric and
adult urgent care extended
Saturday and Sunday hours
and are now open from 9 a.m.
to 4:30 p.m. The pediatric unit
also offers allergy testing each
month. Womens health ser-
vices were relocated to a
larger, more accommodating
area on the third floor and, in
the coming months, the Janet
Weis Childrens Hospital Part-
ners in Pediatrics practice also
will move into a larger space.
For our surgical patients,
pre-surgery services have
expanded so all pre- and post-
operative appointments can be
held at one location. Also, we
continue to make more surgi-
cal options available to pa-
tients at GSWB, such as col-
orectal, ear, nose and throat,
gynecological, orthopedic,
cosmetic, urology and po-
diatry procedures.
We also have grown several
programs to help area resi-
dents stay active and social.
Through our Silver Circle, a
program for those people aged
55 and over, GSWB has be-
come the main location for
senior-focused events such as
yoga classes, AARP driving
courses and other health-
related seminars. The Repeat
Boutique, a re-sale shop with-
in the GSWB lobby, also has
grown into a community sta-
ple, where members of the
community can buy gently
used items ranging from prom
dresses to home dcor, toys
and board games.
All of these enhancements
have been made in an effort to
provide the best possible care
to the residents of Wilkes-
Barre and the surrounding
area. We feel these upgrades
give patients more options
and make high-quality care
more accessible and sched-
uling more convenient.
Its a source of great pride
for us that the community can
and will continue to benefit
from the growth at Geisinger
South Wilkes-Barre.

Geisinger Regional Ambulatory
Campus
Council explains
budget choices
W
hile we understand that
many people might ques-
tion our vote Tuesday on
the 2012 budget, we believe
that this decision, made after
much research and much
soul-searching, is in the best
interests of Luzerne County at
this time.
This budget:
1) increases taxes by $10 on
properties assessed at
$100,000. (Many county prop-
erties are assessed at less than
that amount, and so the addi-
tional cost to many homeown-
ers will be less than $10).
2) eliminates 78 positions
among county employees,
realizing approximately $2
million in savings.
3) attacks the $25 million
debt service on the $450 mil-
lion total debt inherited from
those who elected to govern in
the past 10 years by borrowing
against our countys future.
4) allows the new county
manager to analyze and reor-
ganize county operations over
this year and in the future and
to make surgical cuts that will
right-size the government
rather than hasty amputations
that could endanger public
safety and compromise the
services offered to those peo-
ple who need them the most.
Those of us who were
sworn in as members of coun-
ty council on Jan. 2 were es-
sentially handed the bill for
a maxed-out credit card after a
decade of wild living by past
leadership. For those people
who live within their means, it
is nearly incomprehensible to
understand a debt that is four
times their annual income.
This compares to a family
with an annual income of
$30,000 and credit card debt
of $120,000 that grows by
more than $6,000 annually.
Even as we face a new fu-
ture in our county under
home rule government, we
council members must face
the questionable legacy left by
those who governed before us
and make decisions that might
be difficult but nevertheless
will help Luzerne County to
get on the path to financial
stability.
The members of the county
council have invested count-
less hours over the past few
months to begin the process
of restoring trust, account-
ability and professionalism in
Luzerne County government
as we selected a new profes-
sional manager and began to
implement procedures and
policies with ethical founda-
tions. Those of us who sup-
port this budget believe that it
allows the county to attack the
monstrous debt and to res-
tructure our government in a
responsible way.
This budget builds trust
by acknowledging that we are
partners in overcoming the
financial issues that face us as
a result of more than a decade
of borrowing to meet oper-
ating expenses. The increase
in revenue is strictly dedicated
to payment on the debt, and
the reduction in staff of 78
positions aims to right-size the
county workforce.
This budget builds ac-
countability by mandating
that department heads trim
budgets and reduce staff by
almost 4 percent. When more
cuts come over the next few
years, they will be done in a
calculated way that will main-
tain services, especially those
that protect the most vul-
nerable in our midst. The
charter mandates restructur-
ing and new accountability
codes that will, over time,
separate the wheat from the
chaff and result in an efficient
and well-trained workforce.
The current hiring freeze
will segue into accountability
for management to justify and
explain changes in staff.
This budget lays the foun-
dation for professionalism by
giving our new manager, Bob
Lawton, the time to see what
works, what needs correction
and what needs cuts. In any
corporate acquisition, new
leadership takes time to eval-
uate all operations in order to
make changes, and tough
decisions are made within the
first year. Expect Mr. Lawton
to evaluate all programs first
and then consolidate services,
trim fat and make staff ad-
justments based on workplace
efficiency.
Please understand that we
share your concern for a right-
sized government that oper-
ates efficiently. That concern
is what led us to run for office.
Although we did not create
the problems that face us
today as a county, we are
faced with the task of making
the tough decisions that help
us to solve those problems.
We, the undersigned, have
determined that this budget is
the best choice we can make
at this time, even while we
respect the differing opinions
of our fellow council mem-
bers.
In embracing home rule,
Luzerne County residents
took the first step to reclaim
and rebuild our government.
We can, and we will, reinvent
our local government by right-
sizing it and making it ac-
countable to those people who
pay the bills. This cannot be
done in one month, in one
budget or even in one term on
council, but we move in that
direction starting today.
We ask your patience in the
next few years as we imple-
ment professional manage-
ment of county operations and
restructure the government so
that it works well for all of us.

In 2000, when Iowa became one
of the first states to enact a contra-
ceptive mandate, the Republican
Legislature overwhelmingly
backed the bill, which has no ex-
emption for religious employers of
anykind.
Even one of the laws few oppo-
nents did not move to exempt reli-
gious employers at the time, re-
cords show. Republican U.S. Rep.
Steve King of Iowa, a leading con-
servativewhowas thenastatesen-
ator, instead proposed to exempt
employers who did not cover Via-
gra. We were not fighting the bat-
tle over conscience protection
then,Kingsaidinaninterviewthis
week.
In Arizona, state Rep. Linda
Binder, a Republicanwho support-
ed abortion rights, formed a bipar-
tisan coalition to push her bill,
which exempted churches but not
otherchurch-affiliatedinstitutions,
throughtheRepublican-controlled
Legislature. Then-Gov. JaneHull, a
Republican and a Catholic, signed
themeasureintolaw.
In New York, a similar law also
wonGOPsupport inthe state Leg-
islature. It was signed in 2001 by
Gov. George Pataki, another Re-
publican.
Four years later, the Arkansas
laweasilyclearedthatstatesLegis-
lature, with help from Republican
lawmakers, includingtwoGOPco-
sponsors. Huckabee signed it in
April 2005.
He defended the law in a state-
ment. Religiousemployersarenot
required to comply with this poli-
cy, hesaid. Mypositionis, andal-
ways has been, that religious enti-
ties shouldnt be forced to pay for
contraception.
But liketheoriginal federal regu-
lation proposed by Obama, the Ar-
kansas lawdidnot exempt church-
affiliated hospitals and universi-
ties. It exempts only religious em-
ployers that are nonprofit organi-
zations whose primary mission is

ues, and primarily employ people

ifornia, Davis, chemistry profes-
sor who co-founded Halent, said
labs have no choice but to regu-
late themselves.
Labs are popping up in peo-
ples vans. People are doing color
tests and all kinds of stuff thats
not very accurate. And theres
people doing plain-old dry-lab-
bing theytake a sample, make
a guess, put a number on it and
send it out.
Unfortunately, thats what an
unregulated industry has to deal
with.
Testing the labs
When Ean Seebs prized strain
Bio-Diesel won top prize in the
Colorado Medical Marijuana
Harvest Cup, he decided to see
what the numbers were.
Seeb, co-owner of a dispensary
called Denver Relief, took it to a
nearby lab, which informed him
that the THC accounted for 18
percent of the samples weight, a
solid showing. Then a marijuana
review website took samples of
the same strain to the same lab
and got different results, with
one coming in at a stratospheric
29 percent.
There was no way that that
plant was 29 percent, Seeb said.
Suspicious, he decided to
blind-test the labs. Seeb put his
marijuana buds through a coffee
grinder to homogenize samples
for five local labs.
One was a mobile lab. A young
woman showed up with a gas
chromatograph in a yellow suit-
case and a tank of helium gas.
She had Rainbow Brite make-
up, a spiked belt and tight jeans,
Seeb said.
Once she set up the equip-
ment, a heavily tattooed man
joinedher anddonnedawhitelab
coat. He spent two hours having
problems calibrating the ma-
chine, while dumping his used
solvents down the toilet. Seeb
asked him what he did with the
part of the sample he didnt use in
the test.
I smoke it, the man replied.
Within a couple of days, the re-
sults fromall five labs came back,
and they were all over the chart.
The whole thing was a joke,
Seeb said.
In California, the director of
the National Organization for the
Reform of Marijuana Laws, with
help from a leading cannabis re-
searcher intheNetherlands, dida
similar trial with 10 top labs in
the state. The results for a same
homogenized cannabis material
ranged from4.16 percent THCto
14.3 percent, although seven of
the labs had closer results, be-
tween 8.4 percent and 12.5 per-
cent.
The findings
Having high potency is a mon-
ey-maker. Having pesticides is
not, and the industry as a whole
has shown little interest in learn-
ing and disclosing what industri-
al chemicals, if any, people are
drawing into their lungs.
Most labs charge separate fees
for each test the customer wants:
screening for THC and other ac-
tive compounds, for biological
contaminants, and for pesticides.
Dispensaries always want the
THC test.
The Werc Shop does the bio-
logical contaminant tests on half
its samples and checks about 30
percent for pesticides. Steep Hill,
the states largest lab, tests about
65 percent of submitted samples
for mold and microbes and only
about 5 percent for pesticides.
Steep Hills president, David
Lampach, says its too costly to
routinely test for the hundreds of
possible pesticides and easier to
work with farmers to ensure
theyre never used.
At Halent, Land says purity is
more important than potency,
and he performs only an all-inclu-
sive screening for more than 30
pesticides as well as molds, fungi,
and mycotoxins.
But this tests only the most
common pesticides and, with no
federal tolerance guidelines for
marijuana or tobacco, as a po-
tential reference point the labs
are left tocome upwiththeir own
thresholds for what is acceptable.
In October 2009, Los Angeles
police officers bought marijuana
at nine dispensaries and had it
tested by the Food and Drug Ad-
ministration.
They came back with a num-
ber of different pesticides, said
William W. Carter, the chief dep-
uty city attorney. Half the sam-
ples were contaminated.

Warning: This story will almost cer-
tainly set a newspaper record for the
most instances of the word vagina.
Thats because, as you may have
heard, television lately has been as fo-
cused on the vagina (and surrounding
territory) as a 1970s teen clutching her
first edition of Our Bodies, Ourselves.
Its possible Philly helped get this par-
ty started, even if Phillys not totally re-
sponsible for the recent surge in the use
of an anatomically correct word on
broadcast television. (On cable, there
are much worse terms for it.) Why Phil-
ly?
Because its
the city that gave
the world Tina
Fey, one of the
funniest women
onthe planet and
the creator and
star of NBCs 30
Rock, a show
thats proven you
can so say that
on television.
Whatever that
happens to be
this week.
Oh, when 30
Rock returned
for its sixth sea-
son a couple of
weeks ago with
new episodes
that included pe-
nis mentions,
the allegation
that the Phillie
Phanatic has a
menstrual cycle
and a reference
by Jane Kra-
kowskis Jenna
Maroney to vaginal mesh, the show
might have seemed a little late to the
party, the 2011-12 season having started
off months ago with a rash (sorry) of va-
gina shout-outs.
Fey, though, had been ahead of her
peers all along, having written an epi-
sode way back in 2007 in which Jenna
uttered the memorable line, My vagina
is a convenience store: clean and relia-
ble. And closed on Christmas.
It was two locally grown writers, Da-
vid Crane and Marta Kauffman, who co-
created Friends and wrote the shows
100th episode in1998, in which Lisa Ku-
drows Phoebe, in labor with triplets,
tells Ross (David Schwimmer), I dont
see three kids coming out of your vagi-
na.
(Kudrow, interestingly, remembered
recently that on Friends we could say
penis a certain number of times, but we
could not say vagina.)
Philadelphia also helped educate
Whitney Cummings, the comedian be-
hind two of the falls more in-your-face
pilots, CBS 2 Broke Girls (which she
co-created with Sex and the Citys Mi-
chael Patrick King) and NBCs Whit-
ney, in which Cummings also stars.
Maybe you laughed, maybe you
didnt, when Max, the waitress played
by Kat Dennings, snapped her fingers
under the nose of a finger-snapping
would-be hipster in the first episode of
2 Broke Girls, telling him, This is the
sound that dries up my vagina. But to
Cummings, that wasnt really a joke
about a body part.
Any joke that has the word vagina in
it, at least that I try to do, is not relying
on the word vagina. Theres something
bigger, she said in an interviewin Pasa-
dena, Calif. Shes putting a guy in his
place, shes standing up for herself, shes
being demeaned by a man who is treat-
ing her terribly and like basically sexual-
ly harassing her and shes broke and
shes 23. ... I think the more shocking
thingabout that is that shes beingballsy
and standing up to someone, she said.
CBS entertainment president Nina
Tassler denied that network standards
had been relaxed.
Vaginas not indecent. Its a part of
the body, she said. I have no problem
hearing it, saying it. Its part of my phys-
ical body.
Cummings noted that society has
shiftedandso has the average female vo-
cabulary.
You know, like girls who are 20 years
old talk like 40-year-old guys now,
Cummings said, laughing. Theyre
smarter; theyre more sexually active;
its just a fact; its not an opinion.

HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Your social talents shine.
You have a knack for sum-
marizing whats been said
and coming up with an
action plan. Other talents
of yours include bringing
things full circle and help-
ing people move on.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
There is tremendous hap-
piness in making others
happy. Youll strive for this
and love the challenge
of it. Bigger isnt better
in this regard. Its about
being tuned in to the very
specific things that make a
person smile.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Financial matters need
to be spelled out com-
pletely. It would be risky
to assume others are on
the same page as you if
you never read aloud said
page. Spell out the terms
in a nonemotional way.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Your energy comes from
enjoying your life. When
you feel tired, its because
you havent made fun
a high enough priority.
Decide what would bring
more humor and levity
into your world, and take
action.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You
have the gift of gab over
the next three days. Youll
use your words to enter-
tain and enlighten others.
Your ability to actualize
your ideas depends on
how well you can express
them.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
You can be underconfi-
dent at times. You are so
focused on what you need
to improve that you forget
to give yourself credit for
all you have accomplished.
Cultivate a healthy regard
for yourself and your
powers.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Because you have an
active, curious mind, you
are likely to follow distrac-
tions a bit longer than is
good for keeping to your
schedule. However, when
its time to get down to
business, you do what
needs to be done.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Your first priority will be
to get along with people. It
is from this intention that
all good things will come
to you. You genuinely
care about whats best for
those around you just as
much as you care about
whats good for you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You will be inspired
by the prospect of get-
ting an award. Is it silly
to strive for the valida-
tion of others? Not really.
Tangible evidence of your
talents will motivate you
to continue to strive for
excellence.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Youll enjoy a bit of
cosmic mathematical jus-
tice, which doesnt always
follow a logical path. For
instance, shared grief is
half the sorrow, but hap-
piness, when shared, is
doubled.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). There is nothing to
be gained from unfair
self-criticism. It is very dif-
ficult, if not impossible, to
be confident of yourself if
you are habitually hard on
yourself.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
One way to deal with
tense situations is to
avoid them altogether.
You correctly will sense
when to make a speedy
exit. Follow-through is key.
Youll depart the scene in
as friendly a manner as
possible.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Feb.
19). Youll be proud of
what youre able to accom-
plish. March is romantic.
You feel you know every-
thing about a loved one,
but youll continue to learn
and deepen your connec-
tion. Professional changes
lead to lifestyle upgrades
in May. Youll make a
significant contribution
in June, possibly to help
animals. Virgo and Scorpio
people adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 9, 3,
32, 40 and 29.

Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Angeles,
CA 90069
2/19
DEAR ABBY
Burns prove smoker
hasnt cleaned up his act
Dear Abby:
Dwayne,
my boyfriend
of eight
years, insists
on smoking
in his bed-
room. In our last apartment
hed fall asleep with a lit ciga-
rette and ended up burning
holes in our couch, numer-
ous blankets and pillows as
well as the carpet. When we
moved, Dwayne assured me
he had stopped, but a month
ago I noticed his blanket and
mattress have burn holes and
so does the carpet by his bed.
We live together with our
6-year-old son and, needless
to say, Im scared to death
Dwayne will burn this place
down. I have talked to him
about it numerous times.
All he does is yell and say it
wont happen because ciga-
rettes are safer now.
I have discussed this with
our landlord to no avail. I
thought about calling social
services, but I dont want to
get him in trouble. I could re-
ally use some good advice.
Scared For My Life in
Milwaukee
Dear Scared: Because
Dwayne is unwilling to be
more responsible, its time
to consider your sons safety
and your own. Your boy-
friend is not only addicted to
tobacco, he is also misguid-
ed. If cigarettes were safer
now there wouldnt be burn
holes in his bedding and the
area surrounding where he
sleeps. If moving isnt feasi-
ble, at least make sure there
are working smoke detectors
in your apartment and an
extra one outside Dwaynes
bedroom door.
Dear Abby: My husband
died 13 years ago. Since
then I have pretty much
lost everything, except the
grief. Recently it occurred
to me that I have some pho-
tographs his siblings and
nieces might like copies of.
I dont want them to know
where I live in a trailer
because Im ashamed. They
are all well-to-do and never
seemed to like me. No one
has spoken to me since my
husbands death.
I dont want it to seem
like Im expecting anything
in return because Im not,
nor do I want to see them
socially. I know I dont fit in
with them. Id just like to do
something nice since we all
loved him. From experience
I think theyll find some way
to misinterpret or misunder-
stand the gesture. Ill be hurt
and, added to the depression
and grief, I dont think I
could handle it. What do you
advise?
Missing My Man in
California
Dear Missing Your Man:
Please accept my sympathy
for the loss of your husband.
You have given me four valid
reasons not to reach out to
your husbands family, the
most important of which is
that if you get another round
of rejection from them it will
crush you. I advise against it.
Because they havent spo-
ken to you in 13 years, on
top of the fact you never felt
accepted in the first place
(your words) the thing
for you to do is to keep your
distance. However, because
in all this time you have been
unable to finish your grieving
process, I urge you to con-
sider grief counseling.
Dear Abby: We recently
celebrated the milestone
birthday of a dear friend
with a party. In honor of the
occasion we presented her
with a very nice bracelet with
various fabricated gemstones
set in a nice silver setting.
As she was identifying the
names of the stones, I blurt-
ed out that they werent
real because I didnt want
her thinking we were trying
to pass them off as real.
Now Im afraid I might
have cheapened our gift
although believe me, her
bracelet was not cheap. I feel
like an idiot. Should I try to
fix this mess or just let it be?
Foot in Mouth in the
Southwest
Dear Foot In Mouth: I think
enough has already been
said. Whether the stones in
the bracelet were natural or
man-made, the thought be-
hind the gift was genuine.

The Anti Aging Clinic
at the
parableof theGoodSamaritan,he
said.
Admitting his premise could an-
ger some church folks, Kopp said,
Thisbookisaboutbikercultureas
metaphor and challenge to the
church.
Koppbelieves bikers as opposed
to churches of many Christian de-
nominations often do a better job
of accepting and including other
people, which reminds him of the
way the biblical Jesus reached out
topeopleinall walks of life, includ-
ing the margins of society.
Thereal Jesus loves lavishly, he
loves mercifully, he loves tolerant-
ly, Koppsaidinarecent interview.
A non-distinguished graduate
of Wyoming Valley West High
School, Kopp remembers himself
as an unmotivated student in high
school. But when he enrolled at
Kings College in1970, something
clicked.
Dr. (Donald)Farmertaught me
to think. He invited me into the
honors program. He had confi-
denceinme,saidKopp, addinghe
was one of three Protestant theol-
ogy majors.
With his thirst for education
awakened, Koppwent ontogradu-
ate from Princeton Theological
Seminaryin1977andtoearnadoc-
torate from Drew University in
1982.
Now he serves the First Presby-
terian Church in Belvidere, Ill.,
rides his HDwhenever hecan, and
invites people to read his book.
As someone familiar with
churchcultureandbikeculture, he
says there are authentics and
posers in both groups. But he
thinks churches would benefit if
they were more like a motorcycle
rally, wherepeoplewhoareverydi-
verse but all love motorcycles,
would gather.
Too many churchgoers are so
stressed out, separated and segre-
gated from each other over abor-
tion, sex, money, politics and
whether Susan Boyle deserved to
win over that ghetto dance team
that not evenJesus bridges thedis-
tancesbetweenem,hewrote. Its
tragic.
Insteadof providingabeaconto
a better way, truthandlife andsafe
haven for everybody regardless of
who, what, where or when, which
is what its Founder was all about,
the church has become host to the
most segregated hour of the week,
Sundays during worship.
Bikers, as opposed to so many
churchgoers, have a bond that
overcomes religious, political, col-
or, class and cultural distinctions,
he wrote.
He wants people to think about
that.
Bikers dont care if you wear
brownleather or blackleather. Bik-
ers dont care how you wear your
hair or if you have hair, he said
with a laugh, indicating his own
hairless pate. They dont want to
knowwhat you wear, but who you
are.
Recently in town to visit his par-
ents, Bob and Jane Kopp of Forty
Fort, the author described himself
humblyasanunderachievinghus-
band and father and added It
feels as if Im just scratching the
surface of myrelationshipwiththe
Lord.

into play.
At the very end we cover our
private areas with our police
hats, Marone said. A lot of it
(being discreet) is done with
lighting effects. Two moments
where youmight be able tosee it
all, you really might not be able
to see it all.
My group of guys is quite ea-
ger. I hadnoproblems whatsoev-
er, director Dana Feigenblatt
said, explaining the actors arent
shy about disrobing. And they
do have flesh-colored G-strings.
Of course, the show is about
more than stripping.
Theres a lot to be said for
how the wives and families of
these guys get behind them and
are truly supportive of their ef-
forts, Marone said.
Many of the songs contain a
great deal of humor, Marone
said.
And the ballad You Walk
With Me, which Malcolmsings
when his mother dies, is very
touching, Feigenblatt said. Its a
beautiful song. I think people in
churches have actually started
singing it at funerals.
Feigenblatt, who recom-
mends the show for ages 14 or
15 and up, said The Full Mon-
ty reprises a 2007 offering and
was very popular the last time
we staged it.

The drama leading up to the real estate
crashof the mid-2000s is becomingas famil-
iar as the Wall Street crash that sparked the
Great Depression used to be.
There are plenty of villains: social engi-
neers and market ideologues in Washing-
ton; lying bond traders, conflicted credit
analysts, careless bank bosses and invest-
ment funds on Wall Street; lenders and
builders and borrowers across America: All
found it profitable not to worry about shaky
loans, until they blew up.
Cornell University historian (and ex-
McKinsey & Co. consultant) Louis Hyman
has written a breezy book that goes deeper.
Skimming decades of news, testimony and
arcane trade reports, he reminds us that this
has happened before, and that there was
nothing secret about the public and busi-
ness decisions that led to cheap money,
price inflation, collapse, mass foreclosures,
and bailouts.
Americans refusal to worry too much
about history is a national strength in some
ways, but it also
makes our recurring
financial crises more
emphatic.
In the early Repub-
lic, Hyman tells us,
borrowedmoneywas
for rich people only;
for everyone else, it
was a sign of weak-
ness and impending
doom. Speculators,
gamblers, and other
marginal figures who gave in to weakness
andborrowedwereliabletowindupindebt-
ors jails.
Railroads opened the way for farmer-in-
vestors willing and able to borrow. Bank-
ruptcy law eased the finality of failure. Per-
sonal consumer lending, as we know it, be-
gan in the 1920s, as pioneering loan finan-
ciers, instead of sitting on borrowers notes,
packaged and sold them to spread the risk
and finance newloans. Henry Ford insisted
on cash for his Model Ts, but his rivals, led
by DuPont Co. financier John J. Raskob, set
up General Motors Acceptance Corp. to fi-
nance auto sales to the working masses.
President Franklin D. Roosevelts New
Deal planners, frustrated by surviving
banks reluctance to lend again, created the
Federal HousingAdministrationandFannie
Mae to boost the prostrate home-building
business. After World War II, they financed
the new suburbs.
As other nations recovered, theU.S. econ-
omy came todependless onfactory produc-
tion and more on the home market for
homes, cars, consumer goods. To help con-
sumers buy now, pay later, banks formedVi-
sa and MasterCard; industrial companies
such as Jack Welchs General Electric sold
factories and bought into the retail finance
business, too.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pushed
home-loan finance costs down when they
started large-scale home-loan sales through
Wall Street banks. Credit card and student
lenders did, too. Home prices and consumer
debt were soon rising far more rapidly than
workerincomes. But sincehomeownerswere
worth more, on paper, every year, the new
debt seemed to get absorbed, until it didnt,
and the economy froze.
Hyman shows how the Supreme Court,
President Jimmy Carter, and Congress ef-
fectively gutted state usury laws, giving the
credit card business its greatest spur to
growth; he ranksAdvanta Corp. and First
USA Bank among the fastest-growing card
lenders of the 1990s, though he misses the
biggest such lender, MBNA America, and
the lone, much enlarged survivor of that pe-
riod, Capital One. He incorrectly claims the
card banks didnt take deposits; insured de-
posits were an important part of howcredit
card banks raised billions to lend.
Yet Hymans book tells enough about the
abuses of the FHA-Fannie model tomake us
wonder how much government support
business lending really needs. An old-fash-
ioned tax on financial transactions, or even
Ronald Reagans proposal to end special tax
treatment for home purchases by stopping
the mortgage tax break, would discourage
finance for finances sake. (There are signs
Wall Street is finally contracting, as big
firms cut bonuses and close trading desks,
while American manufacturing exports are
making a modest recovery.)
Hisisanaccessibleandwell-writtenprim-
er on a vast history, with plenty of caution-
ary tales for those who wouldfix whats bro-
ken in our financial system, as well as what
isnt.

Borrow: The American Way of Debt by
Louis Hyman; Vintage Books (292 pages, $15
paperback)
As I readLaurenFoxs newnovel, I dog-
earedthepageswithwittylines, orimpres-
sively bitter ones, or ones that made me
laugh.
Please forgive me, Alfred A. Knopf, for
what Ive done to your book. I hadnt in-
tendedtomake origami out of it.
Willa, her narrator, describes her parents
marriage as another planet, a harsh, extra-
terrestrial climatescaldingmornings fol-
lowedbyblue-blackeveningssofrigidnolife
couldpossiblebesustainedthere.
She takes note of her best friend Janes
father, Mr. Weston, in the kitchen wear-
ing an apron, in the style of men who be-
lieve that they cookfrequently.
She scalds herself, too: desperate, hun-
gry, plumbing the depths of my own
treacherous psyche and capable of un-
pleasant surprises.
Twentysomethings Willa and Jane, art-
sy, singleandunderemployed, shareaMil-
waukee apartment and a friendship, the
closest thing she has to a boyfriend, Willa
thinks. At an eight-
year class reunion,
high school best
friendBenpopsback
into Willas life
then her confidante
and a weird little
wombat, now a
man as tall as she is,
with intense brown
eyes. She nudges
Jane andBenintoa romance.
This could sound like the pitch for a
Friendsepisodeorarom-comscript, but
Fox is probing deeper. Willa sometimes
wants nothing more than to be with Jane
andBen, othertimesfeelstrappedbytheir
pairing. Theyre generous with her, mak-
ing room in their orbit for a person they
bothlike.
LearningthatBenpinedforherforyears
works on her. Does she have unfinished
businesswithhim?SeeingJane, whosoof-
tenseemslikeaperfect person, stumblein
a weak moment gives Willa a secret to
keepandsomethingtognawon.
Willa relives disastrous moments of
growing up under the shadow of her par-
ents brutal marriage, contrasting them
with memories of visits to Janes less-dra-
matic small-town parents. Her brother
Seth has mastered the art of relationship
sabotage, too.
While set in Milwaukee, Fox isnt pri-
marilyinterestedindescribinglocal color,
thoughtheMitchell ParkDomesgetasuit-
ableshout-out, andacertainold-fashioned
basement bowling emporium colonized
by the college-aged residents of its east-
side neighborhood is lovingly rendered.
Seeingathreesomethenextlaneover, two
girls anda guy, Willa seems to be winding
up for a moment of condescension but is
movedtoreflect, Weall thinkweresnow-
flakes, but were Tinker Toys, held togeth-
er by our interchangeable parts.
Ive sometimes marveled at the multi-
layeredclosenessofthefriendshipsbetween
some women I know, to the point of occa-
sionally wondering why they would even
need men around, except for the pesky sex
thing. Foxhasdrawnasharpportraitof such
afemalefriendship, inscribingboththejoys
andtheneeds that maintainits bonds while
also illuminating the countervailing forces
that couldsendits partners flyingapart.
Book explores the bonds, boundaries of friendship

T
he SnowMaiden is a Russian folk tale that has been told, written, sung and
danced. Versions exist throughout Europe, but the original story refers to an
aging couple, a woodcutter and his wife, who are unable to have a child. One
day, theybuildachildfromsnowandthechildcomesalive, onlytodisappeareachspring
and reappear with the first snow.
In her debut novel, The Snow Child, Eowyn Ivey
has taken this tale and woven it into the lives of Mabel
and Jack, a middle-aged couple who buried their still-
bornchild10yearsbeforethebookopensin1920. They
havemovedfromPennsylvaniatostart anewinAlaska,
where Jack has built a cabin and cleared some fields.
The cabin is surrounded for miles by dark forests.
Mabels longingfor achildis afocusedbeamof ener-
gycuttingthroughher days. Jackdoesnt knowhowto
reachheranymore. Onenight, theybuildasnowgirl. In
the morning, she is gone mittens, scarf, hat and all.
Footprints lead off into the woods.
Ivey, a native Alaskan, knows howto make the frost
glow in a window, how to describe light flickering
through birches in a way that plays with the readers
imagination what is running through the trees at
the edge of the clearing? The book is full of reflections
indarkwindows, lamplight, alpenglow. It was abeau-
tythat rippedyouopenandscouredyouclean, Mabel
thinks, so that you were left helpless and exposed, if
you lived at all.
At first it seems that the child, who Jack and Mabel
see with increasing frequency at the margins of their
clearing, must be a fairy. She leads Jack to a moose,
whichkeepsthemalivethroughaleanwinter. Sheleav-
es themrabbits andpelts. Mabel makes her a doll. And
then, one day, Jack follows her up into the mountains.
He learns the secret truth of her existence, and prom-
ises to tell no one.
Mabel, whose father was a literature professor, re-
members the story of the snow maiden, and asks her
sister tosendher the book. As she turns the pages, she
sees her own story unfolding.
Ivey dives deep into Jack and Mabels relationship;
howdoes she keep this aspect of the novel so specific
andintimate, evenas she tells the story of every moth-
erandfather?Itcouldbethatbecausethestoryisfamil-
iar, we think, like Mabel, that we knowhowit will end.
Whenthestorytakesadifferent turn, wearesurprised.
Ivey sets upthe twomost powerful forces inany sto-
ry: fear on the one hand, potential for the miraculous
on the other. Fear vs. Miracle. Which will win?

RIO DE JANEIRO Brazil is
not for beginners, the late, great
Brazilian composer Tom Jobim
once quipped. Nowhere does the
remarkholdmoretruethanfor the
countrys pulsing, chaotic ocean-
front metropolis, RiodeJaneiro.
This is a city of contrasts, where
vastly different worlds rub shoul-
ders and the unexpected lurks
aroundeverycorner.
Hang a right during an aimless
stroll through the chic beachside
neighborhoods of Ipanema or Co-
pacabana,andyoumightjustbump
into a lush tropical forest. Hang a
left, andtheluxurycondominiums
couldgive way toa warrenof brick
and corrugated iron houses
perched precariously on a rocky
outcropping a favela, or hill-
sideslum.
Its this proximity between rich
andpoor, cityandnaturethat gives
Rio its intensity. But it also makes
navigationachallengeforfirst-time
visitors. Itsevenmoredifficult dur-
ing Carnival season, when city
streets morph into rowdy block
parties with tens of thousands of
costumedrevelersdancingtoinfec-
tious samba beats.
Luckily, Rio is dotted with land-
marks that allowyou to easily find
your bearings. Sugarloaf Hill, the
awesome rocky outcropping that
can be visited by aerial cable car,
presidesoverGuanabaraBayinthe
east. The monumental statue
Christ the Redeemer reaches to-
ward the sea fromhis perch inside
thedenseTijucaForest intheheart
of thecity. A5-milestretchof white
sand marks Rios southern edge,
home to the legendary Copacaba-
na, Ipanema andLeblonbeaches.
Here, the beach is a way of life,
and these iconic stretches of sand
are the stage upon which Rio na-
tives knownas Cariocas play
out their lives. Weekends draw
huge crowds fromacross the class
spectrum. During the Southern
Hemisphere summer, January to
March, the throngs are often so
thickthat towel-sizereal estatecan
behardtocomeby. But persevere.
Betweenthe tall, tan, youngand
lovely girls from Ipanema, their
muscle-bound, tattoo-covered
male counterparts, the flocks of
screaming children and steady
streamof vendors, hawking every-
thing from sunscreen to frozen
slush made from Amazon berries,
theactionis not tobemissed.
Thefthaslongbeenonaproblem
onthebeach, but thegovernments
recent takeover of some nearby
slums has improved security
throughout thecityandseaside.
Still, its best to leave all valua-
bles at home andavoiddrawingat-
tention to yourself by dressing like
thelocals. Rest assured, whilethey
dont cover much up, Brazilian
sunga or Speedo-style suits for
men and fio dental string bikinis
for women have a magical way of
bringingouteveryonesbestassets.
No trip to the beach is complete
without a stroll down Avenida Vis-
conde de Piraja, Ipanemas main
drag, asort of relaxedFifthAvenue,
wherethedress codeconsists of bi-
kinis, sarongsandflip-flops. Home-
grown clothing lines abound,
churningout prettybut priceysun-
dresses, short-shorts, pantsuits
and, naturally, bikinis.
If you havent gotten your fill of
snacks on the beach, head to Bibi
Sucos, which serves up a dizzying
array of freshly squeezed exotic
juices jabuticaba, anyone?
and, with Brazils dizzily spiraling
prices, is among Rios few remain-
ing inexpensive pleasures. Amore
sophisticated meal can be had at
Market, alsoonViscondedePiraja,
whichservesuptasty,healthyalter-
natives to the comida por quilo
self-service buffets that offer up
meat in all its imaginable incarna-
tions, paidbytheweight.
If youreaBrazilianatheart, with
a well-developed carnivorous in-
stinct, no trip to Rio is complete
without a visit to a rodizio, a
fixed-price restaurant where end-
less meats, from filet mignon to
chicken hearts, are served off the
spit by a parade of waiters. Porcao,
which has three Rio locations in-
cluding one in Ipanema, is a rodi-
zio of epic proportions.
Toworkoff themeat overdose, a
hike will doubtless be inorder, and
Riooffersseveralexcellentoptions.
The worlds largest urbanforest,
Tijuca is home to a host of mon-
keys, parrots andcute raccoon-like
creatures called coatis (cuatis in
Portuguese) as well as the Christ
statue, perched atop a verdant,
2,300-foot peak. Youcouldtakethe
bondinho, or littlestreet car, that
winds its waytothetop.
But if youreally want to burnoff
thoseextracalories, abetteroption
is a hike to the top of the Tijuca
Peak, whichisafull1,000feet high-
er and offers unparalleled pano-
ramic views over the city. Take a
cab to Alta Boa Vista, where the
trail to the top begins. Get anearly
start, because the park closes at
sundown, andthe hike cantake up
tosixhours roundtrip.
A less strenuous way to com-
munewithRios brandof urbanna-
ture is a stroll through the Jardim
Botanico, 350 well-manicured
acres of flora from Brazil and be-
yond. Shouldoneof Riosspectacu-
lar rainstorms force you indoors,
you can seek shelter in a museum.
Top choices are the MAMmodern
art museum near the historic
downtown and the Museu de Arte
Contemporanea, a space-age com-
plex designed by celebrated Brazi-
lian architect Oscar Neimeyer in
Rios sister-city, Niteroi.
For a stiff dose of Rio nightlife,
hit Lapa. Bars serving up Brazilian
cane alcohol, cachaca, tiny clubs
withlivemusicandmassive, multi-
level mega-discos are all concen-
trated in this historic neighbor-
hoodnear thecitycenter.
