WILKES-BARRE When City Police Chief
Gerry Dessoye applied for a $500,000 federal
grant for a records management systemin 2009,
he touted it as a state-of-the art program that
would enhance the citys crime-ghting efforts.
With the click of a computer mouse, Des-
soye said, the Total Enforcement records man-
agement system would signicantly reduce the
amount of time ofcers spent
doing reports and give them
access to a plethora of infor-
mation.
The programwould, among
other things:
Allow offcers to access
every report in the records
department from laptop com-
puters in their police cruisers,
with the potential to someday
instantly obtain reports from
nearby communities through
a data-sharing network.
View live streaming of
video from a crime scene or
city school taken by the city-
wide surveillance camera sys-
tem.
Receive an alert from li-
cense plate integration cam-
eras stationed in city park-
ing garages if a vehicle being
sought in an investigation
drove by.
It sounded like a crime
ghters dream.
But critics of the system
say that dream hasnt come
true.
Nearly three years after
the grant was approved, the
cutting-edge system Des-
soye described in the grant ap-
plication has delivered on few of the promised
improvements, they said. And there are doubts
whether several key elements will ever come to
fruition.
Consider:
Theres virtually no chance the city ever will
be able to electronically share/access reports of
other police departments because Wilkes-Barre
is the only department in Luzerne County that
uses Total Enforcement. The system also is not
connected with Luzerne County 911, which
precludes ofcers from receiving data on their
laptops.

VATICAN CITY Pope
Francis celebrated a trimmed
back Easter Vigil service Sat-
urday after having reached
out to Muslims and women
during a Holy Week in which
he began to put his mark on
the Catholic Church.
Francis processed into a
darkened and silent St. Pe-
ters Basilica at the start of
the service, in which the
faithful recall the period be-
tween Christs crucixion on
Good Friday and resurrection
on Easter Sunday.
One of the most dramatic
moments of the Easter Vigil
service that usually follows

Reported business, labor deal
advances immigration reform
WASHINGTON Big busi-
ness and labor have struck a
deal on a newlow-skilled worker
program, removing the biggest
hurdle to completion of sweep-
ing immigration legislation al-
lowing 11 million illegal immi-
grants eventual U.S. citizenship,
a person with knowledge of the
talks said Saturday.
The agreement was reached
in a phone call late Friday night
with AFL-CIO President Rich-
ard Trumka, U.S. Chamber of
Commerce head Tom Donohue,
and Democratic Sen. Chuck
Schumer of New York, whos
been mediating the dispute.
The person, who spoke on
condition of anonymity ahead
of a formal announcement, said
the deal resolves disagreements

over wages for the new workers
and which industries would be
included. Those disputes had
led talks to break down a week
ago, throwing into doubt wheth-
er Schumer and seven other
senators crafting a comprehen-
sive bipartisan immigration bill
would be able to complete their
work as planned.
The deal must still be signed
off on by the other senators
working with Schumer, includ-
ing Republican Sens. John Mc-
Cain of Arizona and Marco
Rubio of Florida, but thats
expected to happen. With the
agreement in place, the sena-
tors are expected to unveil their
legislation the week of April 8.
Their measure would secure the
border, crack down on employ-
ers, improve legal immigration
and create a 13-year pathway to
citizenship for the millions of il-
legal immigrants already here.
Its a major second-term prior-
ity of President Barack Obamas
and would usher in the most
dramatic changes to the nations
faltering immigration system in
more than two decades.
The AFL-CIO and the Cham-
ber, longtime antagonists over
temporary worker programs,
had been ghting over wages for
tens of thousands of low-skilled
workers who would be brought
in under the new program to ll
jobs in construction, hotels and
resorts, nursing homes and res-
taurants, and other industries.
Under the agreement, a new
W visa program would go into
effect beginning April 1, 2015,
according to another ofcial in-
volved with the talks who also
spoke on condition of anonym-
ity.
In year one of the program,
20,000 workers would be al-
lowed in; in year two, 35,000;
in year three, 55,000; and in
year four, 75,000. Ultimately
the program would be capped at
200,000 workers a year, but the
number of visas would uctuate,
depending on unemployment
rates, job openings, employer
demand and data collected by
a new federal bureau pushed by
the labor movement as an objec-
tive monitor of the market.
A safety valve would allow
employers to exceed the cap if
they can showneed and pay pre-
mium wages, but any additional
workers brought in would be
subtracted from the following
years cap, the ofcial said.
The workers could move
from employer to employer and
would be able to petition for
permanent residency and ulti-
mately seek U.S. citizenship.
Neither is possible for tempo-
rary workers now.
The new program would ll
needs employers say they have
that are not currently met by
U.S. immigration programs.

with others until the entire
basilica twinkled was short-
ened this year as were some of
the Old Testament readings.
The Vatican has said these
provisions were in keeping
with Francis aim to not have
his Masses go on too long.
The Easter Vigil service under
Benedict XVI would typically
run nearly three hours. The
new pope has made clear he
prefers his Masses short and to
the point: he was even caught
checking his watch during his
March 19 installation ceremo-
ny. Saturday was no different:
The vigil ended just shy of 2.5
hours.
A trimmed-back vigil and
one that started earlier than
usual was only one of the
novelties of this Holy Week un-
der an Argentine Jesuit pope
who two weeks ago stunned
the world by emerging from
the loggia of St. Peters Ba-
silica after his election with a
simple Brothers and sisters,
good evening.
He riled traditionalists but
endeared himself to women
and liberals by washing and
kissing the feet of two young
girls during a Holy Thursday
Mass at a juvenile detention
center in Rome, when the rite
usually calls for only men to
participate. Aday later, Francis
reached out with friendship to
Muslim brothers and sisters
during a Good Friday proces-
sion dedicated to the suffering
of Christians from terrorism,
war and religious fanaticism in
the Middle East.
In his homily Saturday, Fran-
cis kept his message simple
and tied to the liturgical read-
ings, recalling how Jesus dis-
ciples found his tomb empty
a day after his death and were
surprised and confused.
Our daily problems and
worries can wrap us up in our-
selves, in sadness and bitter-
ness, and that is where death
is, he said. Let the risen Je-
sus enter your life, welcome
him as a friend, with trust: he
is life!
He later baptized four men,
part of the Easter Vigil ritual.
Francis today will celebrate
Easter Mass and deliver his
Urbi et Orbi speech, Latin
for To the city and the world.
Usually the pope also issues
Easter greetings in dozens of
languages.
In his two weeks as pope,
Francis discomfort with speak-
ing in any language other than
Italian has become apparent.
He has even shied away
from speaking Spanish when
the occasion would call for it,
though the Vatican has said
he has done so to avoid dis-
criminating against other lan-
guages by favoring his native
tongue.

Cops: Man shot, badly hurt
A man was shot and critically

he underwent surgery for a gunshot
wound to the pelvic area, police said.
Police said they were dispatched to

holding a gun who said he may have
shot a man who was in his house. The
injured man was located inside a resi-

Expect Back Mt. delays
The Pennsylvania Department of

motorists that construction work
beginning Tuesday along the main

ing rush hour.

the northbound driving lane of state

The northbound passing lane and

KINGSTON One by one, Robin
Santasania pulled about three dozen
eld hockey balls, lacrosse balls and
baseballs out of a black fabric bag.
The pieces of athletic equipment col-
lected over the last three years are only
a few of the ones she believes have
sailed over the netting at a neighbor-
ing sports facility owned by Wyoming
Seminary.
Neighbors of Klassner Field, the
home turf for the college prepara-
tory schools eld hockey and lacrosse
teams since 2006, said they dont know
when the next errant ball will damage
property or possible strike a pedes-
trian.
One came in my backyard when my
daughter was back there This one
missed me by a foot, said Santasania,
48, of Chestnut Avenue, holding up a
eld hockey ball that she said nearly
struck her Thursday while she was
walking her dog.
According to The Times Leaders
archives, residents warned members
of Kingston Council about the safety
of their children and the damage that
could be done from errant balls
leaving the eld during a meeting on
May 1, 2006. The plan to proceed with
the eld was approved by council on
June 5, 2006, and construction began
in July of that year.
Every single thing that we said was
going to happen that the school
said was not going to be a problem
is a problem. Every single thing, said
Trish Hoskins, 47, of Chestnut Avenue.
Small ball, big concern
Lacrosse and eld hockey are played
with solid rubber balls weighing about
ve ounces. It might not sound like
much, but Santasania had numerous
photographs of damage to her home,
garage and a minivan that she said was
caused by projectiles from Klassner
Fields games and practices.
They split my aluminum (siding),
Santasania said when asked how fast
the objects might be coming over the
netting along Hoyt Street.
Neighbors were told that the school
has insurance to handle their property
damage claims.
As soon as you x one, theres go-
ing to be another one. Thats not the
point, Santasania said. I have a right
to be in my backyard. I was here rst.
Ive been here for 16 years.
For Hoskins, a resident of Chestnut
Street since 1989, the greater issue is
the amount of noise coming from the
eld. The scoreboard alone jolts her
when shes in her living room, she said.
Exceeds requirements
Gail Smallwood, associate director
of communications for Wyoming Semi-
nary, said the 18-foot-high fencing and
netting surrounding the eld already
exceeds what is required by Kings-
ton zoning requirements. The school
hasnt ruled out looking into higher
netting, she added.

When Brent Evans was
diagnosed with a form of
Non-Hodgkins lymphoma,
the rst thing his doctor told
him was Dont look this up
on the Internet.
That was because most
sources give victims of the
particular type of blood can-
cer a 7 percent chance of
survival, he said.
Almost three years later,
Evans, now 28, is a candi-
date for the Leukemia &
Lymphoma Societys Man of
the Year Award, and doctors
said he is cancer-free.
In 2010, Evans felt sick to
his stomach and didnt have
much energy. He decided to
go for bloodwork.
After each routine test
called for another follow-up
test, he nally sat down with
a Philadelphia doctor who
handed him a box of tissues.
Thats when I realized that
something was up, but it
never crossed my mind that
it was cancer, Evans said.
Shortly after the diagno-
sis, Evans endured a two-
year ordeal crammed with
chemotherapy, radiation and
stem cell transplants.
After counting 150 days
spent in the hospital for
diagnostic tests and treat-
ments, his mother, Karen,
a nurse, said she stopped
counting.
Over the course of a few
months, Evans underwent
six rounds of chemotherapy
and 10 rounds of radiation,
a chemical assault that left
him without an immune sys-
tem. After his fth round of
chemotherapy, doctors said
he showed great improve-
ment but needed stem cell

Gang Up, the forum has been

While gangs arent to blame
for all of the crime, they are a
contributing factor, said Yudi-

The U.S. Department of Jus-

in that particular building.
The district has ample space
to relocate the students from
the center, but it involves mov-
ing several classes around, Gar-
zella said. The kindergarten stu-
dents would go to the districts
Primary Center, he said. That
center would then house kin-
dergarten and rst-grade stu-
dents, Garzella said.
Second-grade students would
attend Martin L. Mattei Inter-
mediate Center, which cur-
rently houses third, fourth and
fth grades. If the second grade
is moved to Mattei, fth-graders
would be moved to the Middle
School on the same campus.
Garzella hasnt heard much
input from area residents about
the plan, he said, although thats
likely to change at the public
hearing. He would meet with
any concerned parents prior to
the hearing, he said.
The Primary Center is a
much nicer building, by far,
than the Kindergarten Center,
Garzella said.
The superintendent said this
plan has been discussed in the
past, but never implemented.
Now, the real issue is money
and whether we can justify in-
vesting a lot of money in an old
building, he said.
The building is about 50

BLESSING oF THE BASKETS
AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER

baskets containing eggs, bread, butter and other foods to be eaten today on Easter Sunday.
transfusions from a suitable do-
nor for his body to ght a recur-
rence.
Members of his Plains Town-
ship family were tested for
blood compatibility. Doctors
found his older brother, Ryan,
was the best candidate.
The brothers now share the
same blood type it was dif-
ferent before the transplants
and their immune systems both
essentially function the same
way. Brent Evans said he cant
conrm that its because of the
transplants, but he nds he has
more energy and enthusiasm.
He nodded toward his brother
across the table and smiled.
During four eight-hour days,
Ryan Evans lay on a table while
hooked to machines; the stem
cells were separated from his
blood. Though he was advised
of side effects before the pro-
cedure, Ryan Evans said those
four days sapped him of his en-
ergy. It just felt like I had 500
pounds on my shoulders, he
said.
Evans father, Ken, an electri-
cian, suspended work for nearly
two years to see that his son
was tended to.
One doctor reminded Ken
that his son is an adult and he
didnt have to spend every day
at the hospital. (I said) Youre
absolutely right, doc. Ill see you
tomorrow, Ken Evans said. I
was going to go back to Wilkes-
Barre and back down again un-
til the mission was complete.
Karen Evans remembered
the days immediately after the
stem-cell transplant when a
white-blood cell meter would
not move past zero. Ryans
stem cells were in his brother;
yet, the disease-ghting white
blood cells were not growing.
Then, around Christmas,
2010, the meter bumped to 0.2,
she said. From there, Brents re-
covery skyrocketed.
Three years later, Brent Ev-
ans works at the Thomas Jef-
ferson University Hospital,
Philadelphia, the same hospital
where he was treated for those
two years. He still sees some of
the same doctors who helped
him.
He works in administration.
Continuous contact with sick
people potentially could be
harmful, but he said he wanted
to give back to the hospital that
helped save his life.
At the outset, he decided to
be positive about the grim diag-
nosis, he said. The second you
look at the negative aspects of
it, you dont stand a chance,
Brent Evans said. Going at it
with a positive mind, that was
a game-changer.
The Leukemia & Lymphoma
Societys Man of the Year award
is about fundraising, said Brent
Evans, with every dollar count-
ing as a point toward his total
score. Thirteen other candi-
dates from the Philadelphia
region, in which Evans lives,
are competing for most money
raised.
His family plans to host a fun-
draising event from 1 to 4 p.m.

KABUL, Afghanistan Af-
ghan special forces took control
of part of a troubled province
bordering Kabul from U.S.
troops on Saturday, ending a
weeks-long dispute over abuse
allegations that prompted Af-
ghan President Hamid Karzai
to order all American forces out
of the area.
The handover highlighted
the Karzai governments strug-
gle to assert its authority over
security matters on an accel-
erated timetable ahead of the
scheduled withdrawal of most
of coalition forces by December
2014.
The transfer of control in
Nirkh district of Wardak prov-
ince a gateway and staging
area for militant attacks on the
capital ends a rocky episode
in the strained relationship be-
tween the United States and
Karzai. The Afghan president
had angrily insisted that U.S.
forces leave Nirkh over the al-
leged torture, kidnapping and
summary execution of militant
suspects there charges U.S.
ofcials rmly denied.
As we pledged, our forces
have transitioned Nirkh district
to Afghan national security forc-
es and they have now assumed
full responsibility for security,
U.S. Gen. Joseph Dunford, the
top commander of American
and NATO forces in Afghani-
stan, said in a statement. He
said the rest of Wardak would
transition over time.
Karzai has had longstanding
unease with U.S. special opera-
tions forces, which he blames
for causing civilian casualties,
and the 21,000 members of the
Afghan local police who work
with them. He has complained
bitterly and publicly that the
local police are militias and
believes they are outside
his control, according to his
spokesman Aimal Faizi.
U.S. special operations forces
will continue to visit the Af-
ghan team in Nirkh, and work
throughout the rest of the
province, said Maj. Gen. Tony
Thomas.

North Korea ups threats
T
he White House said Saturday it
is taking seriously new threats by
North Korea, but also noted Pyong-
yangs history of bellicose rhetoric.
North Korea warned Seoul on Sat-
urday that the Korean Peninsula had
entered a state of war. It also threat-
ened to shut down a border factory
complex that is the last major symbol
of cooperation between the Koreas.
Weve seen reports of a new and
unconstructive statement from North
Korea. We take these threats seriously
and remain in close contact with our
South Korean allies, said Caitlin
Hayden, a spokeswoman for the White
House National Security Council.
But, we would also note that North

JOHANNESBURG
Mandela breathing better
Nelson Mandela is breathing with-
out difculty after having a procedure
to clear uid in his lung area that was
caused by pneumonia, the spokes-
man for South Africas president said
Saturday.
Mandela, the 94-year-old former
president and anti-apartheid leader,
had a recurrence of pneumonia, said
presidential spokesman Mac Maharaj.
South African ofcials previously
had not specied that Mandela had
pneumonia, saying instead that he had
a lung infection.
Mandelas medical team reported
that the increasingly frail ex-leader
had developed a pleural effusion
which was tapped, the ofce of Presi-
dent Jacob Zuma said in a statement.
This has resulted in him now being
able to breathe without difculty. He
continues to respond to treatment and
is comfortable.
NAIROBI, KENYA
Kenyan election upheld
Kenyas Supreme Court on Saturday
upheld the election of Uhuru Kenyatta
as the countrys next president, and
the loser accepted that verdict, ending
an election season that riveted the
nation with fears of a repeat of the
2007-08 post-election violence.
Jubilant Kenyatta supporters
ooded the streets of downtown Nai-
robi, honking horns, blowing plastic
noisemakers and chanting.
But supporters of defeated Prime
Minister Raila Odinga angrily pro-
tested after the verdict; police red
tear gas at them outside the Supreme
Court as well as in the lakeside city of
Kisumu, Odingas hometown.

Couple deny mistreatment
A couple from the Philadelphia area
say they are shocked and hurt by accu-
sations of mistreatment by an adopted
son who left and went back to Russia.
Alexander Abnosov, 18, who was
renamed Joshua Salotti when he and
another youth were adopted ve years
ago, told Russian state-controlled
media that his adoptive family treated
him badly and that he lived on the
streets of Philadelphia and stole just to
survive.
My reaction to that, its very hurt-
ful because we poured our lives into
these boys, Abnosovs adoptive father,
an emotional Steve Salotti, told a
Philadelphia TV station.

Vets oppose
recalculating
disability pay
WASHINGTON Veterans
groups are rallying to ght any
proposal to change disability
payments as the federal govern-
ment attempts to address its
long-term debt problem. They
say theyve sacriced already.
Government benets are ad-
justed according to ination, and
President Barack Obama has en-
dorsed using a slightly different
measure of ination to calculate
Social Security benets. Ben-
ets would still grow but at a
slower rate.
Advocates for the nations 22
million veterans fear that the al-
ternative ination measure also
would apply to disability pay-
ments to nearly 4 million veter-
ans as well as pension payments
for an additional 500,000 low-
income veterans and surviving
families.
I think veterans have already
paid their fair share to support
this nation, said the American
Legions Louis Celli. Theyve
paid it in lower wages while serv-
ing, theyve paid it through their
wounds and sacrices on the
battleeld and theyre paying it
now as they try to recover from
those wounds.
Economists generally agree
that projected long-term debt
increases stemming largely from
the growth in federal health care
programs pose a threat to the
countrys economic competi-
tiveness. Addressing the threat
means difcult decisions for
lawmakers and pain for many
constituents in the decades
ahead.

NICOSIA, Cyprus Big
depositors at Cyprus larg-
est bank might be forced to
accept losses of up to 60 per-
cent, far more than initially
estimated under the Euro-
pean rescue package to save
the country from bankruptcy,
ofcials said Saturday.
Deposits of more than
$128,000 at the Bank of Cy-
prus will lose 37.5 percent in
money that will be converted
into bank shares, according
to a central bank statement.
In a second raid on these ac-
counts, depositors also could
lose up to 22.5 percent more,
depending on what experts
determine is needed to prop
up the banks reserves. The
experts will have 90 days to
gure that out.
The remaining 40 percent
of big deposits at the Bank of
Cyprus will be temporarily
frozen for liquidity reasons,
but continue to accrue exist-
ing levels of interest plus an-
other 10 percent, the central
bank said.
The savings converted to
bank shares would theoreti-
cally allow depositors to even-
tually recover their losses.
But the shares now hold little
value and its uncertain when
if ever the shares will
regain a value equal to the de-
positors losses.
Emergency laws passed last
week empower Cypriot au-
thorities to take these actions.
Cyprus Finance Minister
Michalis Sarris said the mea-
sures were taken to put the
Bank of Cyprus on a solid
footing.
Big losses for Cyprus bank savers?
Declines of up to 60 percent
predicted for large
depositors in top bank.

An end to his platinumtouch
NEW YORK Phil Ramone,
the masterful Grammy Award-
winning engineer, arranger
and producer whose platinum
touch included recordings with
Ray Charles, Billy Joel and Paul
Simon, has died at 72, his fam-
ily said Saturday.
Few in the recording indus-
try enjoyed a more spectacular
and diverse career. Ramone
won 14 competitive Grammy
Awards and one for lifetime
achievement. Worldwide sales
for his projects topped 100 mil-
lion. He was at ease with rock,
jazz, swing and pop, working
with Frank Sinatra and Aretha
Franklin, Stevie Wonder and
Paul McCartney, Elton John
and Tony Bennett, Madonna
and Lou Reed.
Ramone was on hand for
such classic albums as The
Bands The Band and Bob
Dylans Blood On the Tracks.
He produced three records that
went on to win Grammys for
album of the year Simons
Still Crazy After All These
Years, Joels 52nd Street
and Charles Genius Loves
Company.
Ramone also was a pio-
neer of digital recording who
produced what is regarded as
the rst major commercial re-
lease on compact disc, 52nd
Street, which came out on
CD in 1982. He was even part
of political history, advising
presidential administrations
on how to properly record a
news conference and helping
to arrange the storied 1962
party for John F. Kennedy at
Madison Square Garden that
featured Marilyn Monroe
crooning Happy Birthday.

In Memory Of
4/14/67 ~ 3/31/12
The Broken Chain
We little knew that morning
God would call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
you did not go alone;
For part of us went with you,
the day God called you Home.
You left us peaceful memories,
your love is still our guide;
And though we cannot see you,
you are ALWAYS at our side.
Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same;
But as God calls us one by one.
The chain will link again.
Sadly missed by wife Tracey, son Patrick,
mother, brothers, sister, granddaughters,
nieces & nephews, numerous other family
members and friends

Theodore Ted Lazarus Krohn
March 25, 2013
T
he world lost one of its n-
est when Theodore Ted
Lazarus Krohn, 80, died March
25, 2013 in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
Ted was a well-respected attor-
ney, business adviser, husband,
father and friend, but Ted was
most well-known and loved for
his incredible heart and desire
to help others. It was this calling
to further others causes that led
Ted to become a 52-year practic-
ing attorney, solicitor for the Mu-
nicipality of Kingston (21 years)
and Dallas Borough (10 years)
and the longest-serving solicitor
for the Back Mountain Police As-
sociation, where he also was an
honorary life member. Prior to his
death, he resided in Little River,
S.C., with his wife Shirley Krohn,
with whom he shared a very spe-
cial love.
Ted, a loving son and brother,
grew up in Wilkes-Barre and
learned the value of hard work
and education at an early age. He
was a graduate of Kingston High
School, 1949, where he was an
avid student and talented wres-
tler. Ted received a bachelor of
arts degree from Wilkes Universi-
ty in 1953, where he was awarded
the prestigious Wall Street Jour-
nal Student Achievement Award
and later returned as a professor
of accounting. After his studies at
Wilkes, Ted received a juris doc-
torate from the Dickinson School
of Law in 1956, where he served
as a faculty instructor and was in-
ducted into the prestigious Wool-
sack Honor Society.
Never half-hearted in any of his
pursuits, Ted quickly got to work
on what would become a lifelong
commitment to service, his com-
munity and the law. Immediately
following graduation from law
school, Ted was commissioned
as a captain in the U.S. Army Re-
serve Judge Advocate Generals
Corps, serving in Fort Meade,
Md., and Fort Harrison, Ind., later
receiving an honorary discharge
in 1969. After his service in the
military, Ted focused his passion
toward the private practice of
law, in which he helped countless
entrepreneurs, business owners,
executives, municipalities and
families solve their most difcult
challenges during their most try-
ing times.
Capping off a long and distin-
guished career, Ted was honored
as a 50-year member of the Wil-
kes-Barre Law and Library Asso-
ciation in 2007.
Ted is survived by his wife, Shir-
ley; his sister, Evelyn Holtzman,
Kingston; and his ve loving chil-
dren and four grandchildren. Sur-
viving children include Lee Allen
Krohn and his daughter, Alexan-
dra Krohn, Burlington, Vt.; Jerri
Sue Krohn and her son, Daniel
Constable, Redway, Calif.; Mark
Krohn and his two daughters,
Alexandria and Nicole, Greene,
Ohio; Kimberly Krohn Tabbit,
Dupont; and John Krohn, Wash-
ington, D.C.
In his free time Ted enjoyed
shing, boating and spending
time with his loving wife and
family. Ted also had a passion for
cars, which was evident by the
many vehicles he purchased over
the years. However, his greatest
passion was the special relation-
ship he shared with the members
of the Back Mountain law en-
forcement community whom he
respected and loved as much as
his family.
Memorial services
celebrating Teds life will
be held at Yalick Farms
Clubhouse, state Route
415, Dallas, on May 11 between
the hours of 2 and 4 p.m. While
Ted has passed, the effect he has
had on others endures, and the
family invites you to attend and
share your most treasured memo-
ries of Ted. Continuing Teds leg-
acy of helping others, the family
has requested that in lieu of ow-
ers those wishing to express their
condolences make a donation to
the Theodore L. Krohn endowed
scholarship at Wilkes University.
Donations should be sent to 84
W. South St., Wilkes-Barre PA
18766 to the attention of Ms. Ev-
elyn Topfer.
Arrangements are by The Rich-
ard H. Disque Funeral Home Inc.,
2940 Memorial Highway, Dallas,
PA 18612.

Taxpayer advocates say
W-B violated grant process
WILKES-BARRE Two city
taxpayer advocates have led a
complaint with the U.S. Depart-
ment of Justice, alleging city
ofcials violated federal grant
rules in applying for $500,000
for a records management sys-
tem.
Joseph Wielgosz and Char-
lotte Raup say they uncovered
a plethora of information that
raises questions about whether
Police Chief Gerry Dessoye pro-
vided inaccurate information on
the grant form, and whether he
also failed to reveal other infor-
mation that might have made
the city ineligible for the grant
from the federal COPS program.
Among the key issues is
whether the city improperly at-
tempted to secure COPS fund-
ing to purchase computer equip-
ment despite the fact it already
had secured a separate state
grant for the same equipment.
The matter involves a
$200,000 grant the city received
from the state Department of
Community and Economic De-
velopments Community Con-
servation and Employment Pro-
gram. The grant was earmarked
to purchase computers, software
and other items that were need-
ed to run the Total Enforcement
records management system.
The grant was approved on Dec.
10, 2008, according to DCED.
Six months after the grant was
approved, the city led an appli-
cation for the $500,000 COPS
grant. A review of documents
shows that grant, which was
later modied, initially sought
money for the same equipment
that is listed in the DCED grant.
That could be a problem for
the city because a section in the
COPS grant says the funding
cannot be used to replace state,
local, or Bureau of Indian Affairs
funds that otherwise would be
made available for the purposes
of this grant.
Under review
Corey Ray, a spokesman for
the COPS program, said he
would need to look into the mat-
ter further to determine if a pos-
sible violation occurred.
If youve already gotten mon-
ey allocated to a project, you
cant take our funds, Ray said.
I need to pull the le to take
another look I want to see if
they accounted for any of that
funding.
Drew McLaughlin, adminis-
trative coordinator for Wilkes-
Barre, said ofcials are condent
they did nothing wrong with the
COPS grant application.
The initial grant application,
led on June 23, 2009, sought
funding for the purchase of
computers, software and as-
sorted hardware and other
items needed to implement the
Total Enforcement system. The
equipment included 12 laptop
computers, eight desktop com-
puters, two computer servers,
mounting packages and instal-
lation. Those items are identical
to items sought, and later ap-
proved, for the $200,000 DCED
grant.
The city later modied its
COPS grant application to
change the focus of the proj-
ect. In an Oct. 23, 2009 letter
to the COPS program, Dessoye
earmarked the grant money for
equipment that would allow
the city to integrate the records
management system with the
citywide surveillance camera
system.
The new request sought fund-
ing for 46 cameras that would
be installed in city schools and
30 cameras for parking garages.
A second modication, sought
on Aug. 20, 2010, reduced the
number of school cameras to
eight and increased the number
of parking garage cameras to 68.
City: Grants are OK
McLaughlin noted the city
consulted with COPS ofcials
on both modications, and they
were fully aware of all fund-
ing sources the city had for the
project. A spreadsheet attached
to the rst modication request
conrms the city noted both the
$200,000 DCED grant and a sec-
ond, $500,000 grant it got from
DCED.
It should also be noted that
all federal and state grants for
the records management system
project have been audited and
closed out with no ndings,
McLaughlin said.
Ray said COPS ofcials need
more information regarding
when the grants were allocated
before they could make a deter-
mination of whether a violation
occurred. He was looking into
the matter as of Thursday, he
said.
Wielgosz and Raups com-
plaints also raise questions
about the modications and
whether the city has achieved
the stated goals of the project
to integrate the cameras and re-
cords management systems.
Wielgosz and Raup, who led
separate complaints, each con-
tend Dessoye made a false state-
ment when he checked no to
a question in a nal project re-
port that asked if there were any
problems in implementing the
project.
The grant application said
the integration would allow of-
cers to receive live video feed
from a surveillance camera to a
laptop computer in their car. It
also would include license plate
recognition cameras in the citys
parking garages that would send
an alert to the computers if a car
that is being sought in an inves-
tigation drove by.
Neither of those capabilities
has been realized yet, Dessoye
acknowledged in an interview
Wednesday.
The city also had problems in
connecting laptop computers in
cars with the database due to is-
sues with the Wi-Fi connections.
The cruiser laptops sat unused
for about 1 1/2 years before the
city resolved the issues this Feb-
ruary.
Giventhat, Wielgosz andRaup
contend that Dessoye should
have noted the implementation
problems, and that by checking
no he made a false statement.
Chief defends paperwork
Questioned about his answer,
Dessoye said he answered the
question in that manner because
he believed it related to the re-
cords management system itself
and not any technical issues that
might delay the full implementa-
tion of the program.
By my standards, (the prob-
lems) had nothing to do with
Total Enforcement, he said. It
had more to do with after-mar-
ket hardware. My concern was
with the system. Do I have a re-
cords management systemthats
functional? Yes I do.
According to Lou Lau, the
citys Internet technology direc-
tor, the ve license plate integra-
tion cameras are working. They
cannot transmit data to laptops
yet because the city needs to ob-
tain the database against which
the cameras will match a license
plate they scan. The city is at-
tempting to obtain that le now.
The city also is working on
implementing video streaming
to laptops, McLaughlin said.
The city only recently resolved
technological problems that pre-
cluded the laptops from obtain-
ing a Wi-Fi signal. Streaming of
video is part of a long-range plan
for the system.
Whether Dessoyes answer
could be considered false is
subject to interpretation, Ray
said.
With technology purchases
or any grant, we like to see
them utilized as effectively as
possible, he said. We do know
there can be quite a fewglitches,
especially if you are tying into
other systems, and we try to al-
low ample time for an agency to
do that.
COPS ofcials did discuss the
various implementation issues
with the city prior to closing the
grant out, said Ray, and ofcials
advised them they were working
on the connectivity problems.
That satised them at the time,
he said, but it is possible the
agency might again look into
the matter.
Just because we close out a
grant does not mean its not sub-
ject to further action, like an au-
dit or further monitoring by our
ofce or the ofce of inspector
general, Ray said.
They contend citys police
department improperly got
computer equipment funding.
By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER
tmorgan@timesleader.com
The proposed integration
with the citys camera surveil-
lance system and the license
plate recognition cameras have
yet to be implemented. City of-
cials say theyre working it,
but it take as long as ve years
before everything is operation-
al.
Rather than save time, sev-
eral police ofcers said the da-
ta-entry process is complicated
and cumbersome, forcing them
to waste valuable time they
could use to be on patrol.
Critics contend its not the
system Dessoye described
when he applied for the grant
the city obtained from the U.S.
Department of Justices COPS
program.
$1.2 million spent
The city spent $1.2 million in
federal and state grant money
to purchase the Total Enforce-
ment software, computers and
associated hardware and tech-
nology needed to operate it. In
addition to the $500,000 COPS
grant, it received $500,000 in
local share gaming money from
the Pennsylvania Department
of Economic Development and
another $200,000 grant from
DCEDs Community Conserva-
tion and Employment program.
The grants paid for equip-
ment, including 12 laptop com-
puters for police cars, eight
desktop computers, two com-
puter servers, the records man-
agement software, licensing
fees to Microsoft and other as-
sorted items, including mount
packages and installation.
Dessoye maintains the sys-
tem has lived up to its hype.
But three city police ofcers
who use the system say its
been a debacle.
The ofcers, all of whom
spoke on the condition of ano-
nymity because they are not au-
thorized to discuss department
business publicly, said they
encounter multiple difculties
with the Total Enforcement
system
The software, designed by
a New York company, was
pre-loaded with the New York
Crimes Code. That meant Wil-
kes-Barre ofcials had to manu-
ally enter the Pennsylvania
Crimes Code a process city
ofcials acknowledged still is
not entirely completed.
Equally troubling, the of-
cers said, is the system did
not come pre-loaded with the
Pennsylvania Vehicle code
an issue that remains. That
creates an additional layer of
work for police who must use
two different systems to create
a complaint whenever a crimi-
nal charge includes a moving
vehicle violation.
For instance, ofcers can
write up a drunken-driving
complaint using Total Enforce-
ment, which will pull up the
DUI statute. But if they want to
add a summary trafc citation
of running a red light a com-
mon violation that gives police
probable cause for a DUI stop
they have to revert back to
the old system, print out the
charge and physically attach it
to the report, the ofcers said.
The situation is the same
for some charges in the crimes
code. Some lower-level, less fre-
quent crimes have not yet been
manually entered, meaning an
ofcer has to take additional
steps to enter them into their
reports, they said.
The whole thing is a joke,
said one ofcer. Its such a
pain and time-consuming.
The lack of an appropriate
vehicle code in the system is
one of the most frustrating
things, a second ofcer said.
I can see the city ordinanc-
es not being in there, but the
two state statutes you need
the most are the crimes code
and vehicle code, the ofcer
said. For the money they paid,
youd think it would list all the
charges in there.
The ofcers said the system
also is cumbersome for enter-
ing data, requiring them to re-
enter information into multiple
elds, whereas other records
management systems automat-
ically transfer that information
among elds.
Decision defended
While acknowledging there
have been some issues in fully
implementing the system, Des-
soye said he believes it works
well in meeting the depart-
ments needs.
This is the system we
thought would work for us with
the volume of information we
have, he said.
Drew McLaughlin, admin-
istrative coordinator, said
the program was purchased
through the states CoStar pro-
gram, which allows govern-
ment bodies to purchase items
from state-certied vendors
without going through a bid-
ding process. At the time, To-
tal Enforcement was the only
records management system
vendor that had a contract with
Dell computers, which was the
citys chosen supplier for the
computers.
Dessoye and Capt. Robert
Hughes said the system works
well for management. Among
other things, it gives them the
ability to more quickly access
reports and it is very effective
for tracking crime statistics.
I put in a certain area and
it gives me statistics from that
area, said Hughes. We use it
a lot in the downtown to track
crime there.
Helpful to management
Dessoye largely dismissed
the ofcers complaints, say-
ing theyre upset because they
dont want to do the work re-
quired to create reports.
It may not make ofcers
on the street happy because
it requires them to do a lot of
work, he said.Its a good sys-
tem for management. It theyre
not happy, too bad They have
to work with the equipment we
give them.
The ofcers who criticized
the program said they thought
the idea was to streamline
tasks.
The system was designed to
allow police ofcers to com-
plete reports from the laptops
in their vehicles. Problems with
communicating with the server
delayed full implementation of
that process until this February.
Laptops are now in place in 10
cruisers.
Ofcers still cant do all re-
ports from the laptops, how-
ever, because the system is not
connected with the countys
911 system, which means 911
cannot transmit certain infor-
mation ofcers need to the
laptops, as it can with other
records management software
programs, said one ofcer.
If we run a vehicle plate,
911 has to fax the information
(including the owner and ve-
hicle identication number) to
headquarters, the ofcer said.
We have to go to headquarters
to get the paperwork. That
takes us off the street.
Some positives
The ofcers said, to be fair,
the program does have some
good points. For instance, an
ofcer can type in a suspects
name or an address and learn
whether the person had prior
charges, or if there had been
previous calls to the address.
But they noted other records
management systems have
those capabilities without the
drawbacks presented by Total
Enforcement. They questioned
why that program was chosen
over the far more popular, and
less expensive, system known
as Alert, produced by Metro
Technology Services Inc., of
Wayne, Pa.
The city paid $394,665 for
the Total Enforcement soft-
ware package in March, 2010.
A breakdown of how that
charge was calculated was not
immediately available, as the
records could not be obtained
last week.
That price is signicantly
higher than what was paid
by the the city of York, which
purchased the Alert system in
2010 for about $119,000, ac-
cording to Tony Iannacone,
president of Metro Technolo-
gies. Alert is one of the most
popular records management
systems in Pennsylvania, in use
by 450 communities, including
36 of the approximately 52 de-
partments in Luzerne County,
Iannacone said.
Police chiefs in several area
communities raved about the
Alert program.
I love it, said Frank Mud-
lock, police chief in Jenkins
Township, which has used
Alert since 1998. If you are on
the road and need to research a
person or incident, you can log
on to the computer and review
it.
Alert pre-loaded
Unlike Total Enforcement,
Alert comes pre-loaded with
all Pennsylvania crime stat-
utes, including the vehicle
code. You search a code and
it brings up the charge, said
Mudlock. Everything is pretty
much there.
Pittston police have used
Alert for about 10 years, said
Police Chief Bob Powers. It
works really well with the
reports we need to do, he
said.It allows us to track crime
If there is a rash of burglaries
on one street, you can send a
bulletin out to all ofcers in the
department.
The Hanover Township Po-
lice Department implemented
the Alert system in September
2011. Chief Al Walker said of-
cers have been pleased with it.
Our guys are telling me its a
lot more streamlined, he said.
They can get reports complet-
ed sooner and be back out on
the road.
The Alert system also seems
to be more in line with one
of the major goals Dessoye
stressed in his grant applica-
tion: to some day be able to
electronically access reports
from surrounding police de-
partments.
Neither Alert nor any other
records management system
currently allows departments
to share reports among each
other as that would require
an interface with the countys
911 center. The capability is
there for that to happen, but
only for the departments that
share the same records man-
agement system.
Dessoye: Alert reviewed
Dessoye said he and other
city ofcials looked at Alert
and several other systems, de-
ciding to choose Total Enforce-
ment because it seemed to best
t the citys needs.
Pressed for specic advan-
tages the program offered,
Dessoye offered general state-
ments. We set up criteria and
picked what was best, he said.
Alert is a good system, but it
did not seem to serve our pur-
poses. This system seemed to
be a better systemand more ca-
pable of advancing as we grew.
McLaughlin noted that, at
the time the city was review-
ing Total Enforcement, plans
were for it to incorporate with
a countywide records man-
agement system that was be-
ing touted by former Luzerne
County Commissioner Greg
Skrepenak.
In 2007, Skrepenak proposed
purchasing the Total Enforce-
ment system for the county at
cost of $2.3 million. The plan
was to rst connect the four
largest cities Wilkes-Barre,
Hazleton, Nanticoke and
Pittston police departments
with other communities to
follow.
That plan was scrapped
sometime in 2009 after it be-
came apparent the county
would not be able to convince
all municipalities to sign on to
the idea, said Fred Rosencrans,
data manager at the county 911
center.
Despite that, Wilkes-Barre
continued on with its plans to
purchase the system.
While Dessoye rmly de-
fended the citys choice, he
said hes open to discussing po-
lice ofcers concerns with the
system.
A fair evaluation cant be
made until the systemis entire-
ly implemented, he said, which
will likely be several years from
now.
We examined them and
Total Enforcement seemed
like the best, he said. People
sometimes make mistakes. Im
not saying this is a mistake. If
we were wrong, we will look
at all the data. And if we mis-
judged, well re-evaluate. I dont
see that until the end of the
ve-year term.
RECORDS
PETE G. WILCOX PHOTOS/THE TIMES LEADER
Capt. Robert Hughes of the Wilkes-Barre Police Department says Total Enforcement works
well for management, providing quick access to records.
Patrolman Ryan Cywinski of the Hanover Township Police De-
partment demonstrates how an ofcer retrieves data while out
in the eld in a police vehicle equipped with a computer.
Ripken voluntarily ended his
streak after playing in 2,632
consecutive games for the Balti-
more Orioles.
As of today Easter Sunday
Martin will have been in St.
Thereses Church for 2,250 con-
secutive days, dating back to
Feb. 1, 2007.
The streak began after Martin
recovered from open heart sur-
gery in December 2006, and he
shows no signs of slowing.
Hes ercely loyal to his job
at 90 years of age, said the Rev.
James Paisley, who heads the
church. He moves around like a
20-year-old. Nobody else would
be able to do what Jack does.
Paisley, admittedly a details
guy, said Martins value is im-
measurable.
I keep forgetting hes 90 years
old, Paisley said. He makes
life so much easier for me. I nev-
er have to second guess when
Jacks around.
Whether hes preparing the
gifts for Holy Communion,
making sure there are enough
ministers or counting the heads
at Mass (he does count every-
body), Martin is as dedicated
to his church and his faith as
anyone could be. At each Mass,
Martin worries whether there
will be enough Eucharists for all
communion recipients.
Can you imagine what would
happen if Father Paisley ran out
of Eucharists and went to the
tabernacle and the key wasnt
there? Martin wondered.
Martin also makes sure the
water that Rev. Paisley uses to
wash his hands during Mass is
warm, not cold.
Joined parish in 1944
Martin has been a member of
the St. Thereses parish since
1944 and he has been the head
sacristan for 20 years.
I love this church, Mar-
tin said. He and his late wife,
Deany, were married there in
1952; their three children were
baptized there. Martins face il-
luminates when he talks about
his son, Jacky, his two daugh-
ters, Lorraine and Cathy, and
his seven grandchildren and
four great-grandchildren.
When hes not counting
heads at every Mass, Martin
has time for some other inter-
ests. He loves country music,
especially Willie Nelson, Mel
Tillis and Roy Clark. Martin
used to play drums in a band
called The Nightimers in the
1950s and 1960s. He also plays
the trombone.
He graduated from Connells-
ville High School, 40 miles south
of Pittsburgh, where his best
friend from childhood through
high school was Johnny Lujack,
who starred at Notre Dame and
won a Heisman Trophy.
Martin is still a football fan;
he roots for the Pittsburgh
Steelers.
Martin is a steak-and-mashed-
potatoes kind of guy. He makes
the ve-minute walk from his
house to church every day, and
although he still drives, macu-
lar degeneration limits his time
behind the wheel, especially at
night. Somehow, he still is able
to count heads from the churchs
loft.
Charisma, knowledge
They just dont make Jack
Martins anymore, said Dan
Wisnieski, a member of St.
Thereses and a longtime friend.
He is truly a legend in his time.
His charisma, knowledge and
memory are second to none.
Wisnieski said Martin likes
to talk about the old days, like
when he worked at his fathers
gas station in Trucksville when
gasoline was 12.9 cents per gal-
lon and full service was expect-
ed.
Martin retired in 1985 from
the B.F. Goodrich Co., where he
was in charge of shipping and re-
ceiving.
I drove a forklift too, he said.
I put more than 300,000 miles
on that forklift and I didnt go
anywhere.
Six years post-retirement, said
Martin, they started bothering
me here. He laughs and says he
enjoys every minute in the church.
A lady bought me a sleep-
ing bag as a joke, he said. I
never used it here, but I use it at
home.
Wisnieski said Martin has
lived a rich and full life, and ev-
eryone who has come to know
him has been richer for the op-
portunity.
Martin said he will continue
as sacristan as long as he can
and for as long as the church will
have him.
I hope to die in a pew, he
said. But only after Mass is end-
ed and the church is cleaned up
and ready for the next Mass.

Pushing
past all
the evil
It happened six years ago, on the
feast of St. John the Baptist.
Dont be surprised that author Bev-
erly Donofrio knew June 22 was the
saints day. She was living in Mexico,
where religious processions regularly
make their way through the streets,
where church bells ring so loudly
they turn your head, where her own
spiritual quest seemed to be progress-
ing nicely.
But what happened that morning
was beyond terrible.
A tug on the sheet, a sinking
weight on the mattress, my body
buzzes like a eld of bees as my eyes
y open to the last
thing I want to see.
I do not look, but
out of the corner of
my eye, he is there,
leaning on his el-
bow, his round
face propped on
his palm Dont
scream, I have a
knife, he says.
Donofrio, best-
selling author of
the book Riding in Cars with Boys
and a teacher in the creative-writing
program at Wilkes University, has de-
scribed her experience of a rape, and
the healing that followed, in her most
recent memoir, Astonished.
On Wednesday at the Barnes &
Noble college bookstore in downtown
Wilkes-Barre, shell read excerpts
fromthe newbook, which is subtitled
A Story of Evil, Blessings, Grace, and
Solace.
Its not a depressing book, the au-
thor saidina telephone interview. Its
lled with light. Thats its purpose, to
shine light on what one might per-
ceive as darkness.
In Astonished, Donofrio recounts
her struggles to come to terms with
the rape. Why would God do this?
she asks a priest. God didnt do it,

Following the brush strokes of St. Luke
According to legend, gallery
volunteer Liz Hoegg said, Je-
sus Christ built a table when he
was growing up in a carpenters
household.
On that table, the legend con-
tinues, St. Luke later painted a
portrait of the Blessed Mother,
representing her as a young
mother with the child Jesus in
her arms.
She took it with her when
she went to live with St. John,
after the crucixion, Hoegg
said, recalling more of the old
story. Eventually it made its
way to Poland, and miracles fol-
lowed it.
Artist Helen Warenda heard
those legends, too, when she
was a girl attending the former
Transguration Elementary
School in West Hazleton, and
she thought about them when
she painted her own version of
the famous image, which is dis-
played in Poland and known as
Our Lady of Czestochowa.
Visitors to The Fly on the Wall
art gallery inside the Dragony
Cafe in downtown Hazleton
can see Warendas Our Lady of
Czestochowa among a dozen
paintings she has crafted over
the years, when she wasnt busy
working in a garment factory or,
as she does nowadays, in a o-
rist shop.
And if any of those visitors
want to tell Warenda that the
pieces are beautiful, the humble
artist would rather redirect their
praise.
I hope people admire her
(the Blessed Mother) for all her
goodness, and for all shes done
for Poland, said Warenda, who
was inspired to replicate famous
paintings several years ago when
she enrolled in an evening series
of art classes at the old Hazleton
High School, the one people call
The Castle.
The exhibit, which will con-
tinue through April 11, wasnt
Warendas idea, but her nieces

Cathy Rigby, hears a very different reaction from parents
and grandparents in the crowd. It comes near the end of the play,
whenalittle-girl character namedJaneasks if shecanvisit Neverland
with Peter. If only I could go with you, says her mother, Wendy,
who did fy off with Peter when she was much younger. You cant,
Wendy, Peter tells her. Youre too grown-up. At that bittersweet
exchange, Rigby said, Theres a collective sigh fromthe audience.
Ah, yes, we all have to grow up, dont we? We shoulder responsi-
bilities, accept disappointments, schedule a lot more work than fun.

Store the shamrocks and get down to real Irish legacy
W
ith St.
Patricks
Day over
and done
with for the
year, its
time to get
busy with
the real Irish pride nding
ancestors in the old Emerald
Isle. Here are some use-
ful websites, the rst three
courtesy of the Genealogical
Society of Pennsylvania.
One good site is www.
irish-genealogy-toolkit.com.
Its keyed pretty much to
beginners, but more experi-
enced genealogists could nd
it useful as well. It has pages
on nding your ancestors
home parish as well as emi-
gration data, maps and many
other topics.
Another is www.family-
search.org/learn/wiki/en/
ireland. It has an excellent
listing of research sources
available in Ireland and
numerous other helps.
If youre trying to nd
out where in Ireland your
ancestors lived, you can look
for the same family name in
the 1901 and 1911 census
records at www.census.
nationalarchives.ie/search.
The site enables you to put
in your surname and nd out
where most people with that
surname were living in 1890.
Besides those sites dont
forget the Genweb, which
now extends nearly all over
the world. Go to www.ire-
landgenweb.com and youll
nd a huge site with re-
sources and message boards
for every county. Just click
on the county you need. The
Irish Genweb coordinator,
incidentally, is none other
than Mary Ann Lubinsky, the
coordinator of the Luzerne
County Genweb. Youll nd a
link to the Northern Ireland
Genweb as well.
You should also check
www.irishgenealogy.ie, a
government-sponsored site
that among other things
lets you search online
records.
Genealogical Research
Society: Joanne Bogda-
novicz will portray 19th-
century Scranton Mayor Ezra
Ripple when the Genea-
logical Research Society of
Northeastern Pennsylvania
opens its 2013 schedule of
events next month. The pre-
sentation, open to the public,
will be at 7 p.m. on April 17
at the societys headquarters,
1100 Main St., Peckville. The
group meets on the third
Wednesday of the month,
April through October. Res-
ervations are suggested. Call
(570) 383-7661.
Research Aids: Its easier
than ever for out-of-town
researchers to access materi-
als in the Luzerne County
Historical Societys Bishop
Memorial Library. Just go to
www.luzernehistory.org and
look for Forms and Docu-
ment Requests. You can
print out the forms and mail
them in to order obituaries
and various other materials.
Fees are listed. Youll also
nd a form to take out a
membership, a tremendous
bargain for anyone who
plans on using the library
frequently.
Genealogy Seminar: Ill
offer my Getting Started in
Genealogy program at the
West Pittston Library 10:30
a.m.-1 p.m. on April 13. Its
free, but because of limited
seating you have to call and
reserve a place. Call (570)
654-9847 and leave a mes-
sage. The library is at 200
Exeter Ave., West Pittston.
News Notes: If youre
hoping to visit Ellis Island,
the famous gateway for
immigration in New York
Harbor, dont expect to see
it anytime this year. There
is no projected reopening
date for 2013, the National
Park Service told the As-
sociated Press recently. The
buildings on the island were
inundated by water from
Tropical Storm Sandy last
year, and restoring them is
a time-consuming and ex-
pensive project. Meanwhile,
the museums massive col-
lection of artifacts is being
stored offsite.
The search for a site to
house Luzerne Countys 200-
plus years of records contin-
ues. The old juvenile deten-
tion center is inadequate for
the job, The Times Leader re-
ported recently, because the
oors arent strong enough to
support the weight of records
and because the structures
choppy, prison-like layout
isnt conducive to a records
building or other county
uses, the paper said.
tom mooney
oUT on A li mb
Tom Mooney is a Times Leader
genealogy columnist. Reach
him at tmooney2@ptd.net.
But in the case of her own job,
Rigby said, work pretty much
equals fun.
For two hours a night I get play
therapy, said the gymnast, now
60, who charmed crowds at the
1968 and 1972 Olympics. You pre-
tend, and you believe in miracles,
and you believe in possibilities.
Portraying Peter Pan is strenu-
ous, she admitted. Youre wearing
a 10-pound harness and doing cart-
wheels on the oor and standing on
your hands. Fortunately, I do have
two gentlemen who are quite bril-
liant at what they do. They pick
me up (with wires) and allow me
to oat in the air so I can soar from
one end of the proscenium stage to
the other at breakneck speed.
Rigby, who rst took on the role
of Pan in 1974, has developed a
fondness for the character, whom
she seems to know inside and out.
Oh, Peter is many things, she
said. He is a child that is passion-
ate and fearless. He can be selsh
and self-centered (but) hes full of
life and spunk and adventure. He
is mischievous, which is one of the
most fun traits to portray.
In a way, Rigby said, portraying
Peter Pan gives her the chance for
a playful childhood a chance
she didnt have when she was a girl
preparing for rigorous gymnastics
competitions.
Gymnastics is all about being
perfect, she said, Peter is quite
the opposite. He makes mistakes all
the time, and he doesnt care.

HonoR RoLL
he responds. Then why did God
allow it? God doesnt cause evil.
Ever. But God will use it.
Let me get this straight, Dono-
frio writes. Evil paid me a visit.
Prayer chased it away. Either God
has no power to prevent evil, or God
does have the power and allows or
tolerates it anyway, uses evil to draw
us back.
I feel strange saying this, the
author said. (The rape) kind of
brought me to spiritual boot camp. I
was raped, and nowI ammore calm,
peaceful, happy, centered, grounded,
in the spirit and able to receive.
I might have gottenthere insome
other way, she added.
Explaining how she embraced the
idea of forgiving her attacker, Dono-
frio said, Theres this Indian prov-
erb: An old man, an elder, says to his
grandchild, I have good and evil in
me, and they battle. The child asks,
Which one wins? and the grandfa-
ther says, The one I feed.
But even as she writes about spiri-
tual matters, Donofrio has not lost
her sense of irreverence.
This is how she describes the way
she prayed for the rapist to go away
and leave her alone.
I begin, Hail Mary, full of grace,
and I am struck by a brilliant idea. I
should pray in Spanish and freak the
rapist out.
Dios te salve Maria.
Youre praying. Stop praying. He
bangs my shoulder again.
Im praying for you. Its a lie I
realize should be the truth. I pray
a whole Ave Maria for him, then
almost nish a vehement Padre
Nuestro before I realize I have never
once since I woke up asked God to
help me, yet I pray for help all the
time. I pray for help when I have to
meet someone I dont know very
well for coffee.
Dios te salve, Maria, llena eres de
gracia, please get himthe hell out of
my bed, el senor es contigo, please,
God, Mary, Jesus, all you angels and
saints, all you dead ancestors, come
andget himthe hell out of my house,
bendita eres entre todas las mujeres,
he backs out of the bed, he zips his
y, y bendita es el fruto de tu vien-
tre, Jesus. Mary, all you angels and
saints, every dead relative, please
make him leave, please make him
leave, Santa Maria, madre de dios,
get him out of my house. He sighs.
Okay, then says, Imgoing.
Thirteen days later, the man is ar-
rested. He is the towns serial rapist;
Donofrio was his fth victim. He will
spend the rest of his life in jail. She
will visit monasteries andstay at one
in the Ozarks for several years, a lay
member working on her book.
Back in the secular world, today
Donofrio lives in the woods on a
bluff overlookingthe ocean onLong
Island and enjoys visits with her rela-
tives, especially two lively young
grandchildren. She says teaching
creative writing at Wilkes, in a low-
residency program, is an important
part of her life.
Every time Im there, its like a
big love-in, she said. Everyone is
so supportive.

Liz Hoegg and Margi
Ackerman, who have or-
ganized many other dis-
plays at the Dragonfly
Cafe, thought it would
be nice for people to
see her work much of
which she had stored in
an attic.
We brought them out
and dusted them off,
Hoegg said.
In addition to the re-
ligious portrait, War-
endas subjects include
a bustling marketplace,
blooming trees, a vase
filled with roses and
a rain-washed street
scene. Some of the
paintings are encased
in frames that were
handmade by her late
brother Walter, and some
are marked sold.
Warendas s c e n e s
appear reminiscent of
Mexico or Spain, France
or the Netherlands as
well as the beloved
shrine in Poland. The
artist has not visited
any of those places, but
if someone were to give
her a ticket, she would
love to go.
It would be a dream
come true.

The Cincinnati Reds will host Josh
Hamilton and the Los Angeles Angels
in their opener on Monday.
Interleague
intrigue here
all the time
With the Astros move to the AL, this
years schedule will feature
interleague play all season long.
By BEN WALKER
AP Baseball Writer
On a windy morning at spring train-
ing, a trio of Phillies catchers met
behind the batting cage to shoot the
breeze.
The topic? Interleague intrigue, right
from the get-go.
We were just
talking about that in
batting practice that
its a little weird to
face the American
League so early,
All-Star Carlos Ruiz
said. But its a dif-
ferent schedule this
year.
Sure is.
Josh Hamilton
and the Los Angeles
Angels visit Cincin-
nati in an opener
thats hardly tradi-
tional. Triple Crown
winner Miguel Ca-
brera and the De-
troit Tigers nish
the season at Miami
minus a designated hitter.
Derek Jeter and the Yankees cross
over to the National League each
month, then host World Series cham-
pion San Francisco in late September.
Just a guess New York fans will howl

WASHINGTON Jim Boeheim
calls this years Syracuse team his best
defensive group ever. Hard to argue,
based on the suffocating performances
that put the Orange in the Final Four.
Using its trapping, shot-challeng-
ing 2-3 zone to perfect effect for 40
minutes, No. 4-seeded Syracuse shut
down No. 3 Marquette 55-39 in the
East Regional nal Saturday to earn
Boeheim his rst trip to the national
semis since a freshman named Car-
melo Anthony helped win the 2003
NCAA title.
Its a great thing, Boeheim joked
afterward. We go once every 10
years.
Syracuse shuts down Marquette

BINGHAMTON, N.Y. For
the second straight night, the
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pen-
guins needed some extra time to
sort things out.
And unlike Fridays shootout
loss to Providence, Saturday
turned out a bit better.
With three straight shootout
goals, the Penguins outlasted
the Binghamton Senators 3-2,
gaining two valuable points.
With a Connecticut loss, the
Penguins move up to sixth place
in the Eastern Conference.
Just as important, they wrap
up a three-game stint against
two of the top teams in the con-
ference with a pair of wins and
points in all three contests. Sat-
urdays matchup was the second
in three games against Bingham-
ton and wraps up the season se-
ries between the East Division
foes. The Penguins nish 4-6
against Binghamton.
A spirited ght off the open-
ing faceoff between Zach Sill
and Mark Borowiecki set the
tone for the Penguins, leading
to another strong start. Chad
Kolarik got them on the board
when he skated the puck into
the offensive zone and lifted a
wrister over Binghamton goal-
tender Nathan Lawson for a 1-0
lead at the midway point.
Sill set the tone right off the
bat and we were able to gain mo-
mentum from that, said head
coach John Hynes. You could
see the guys were ready to play
and establish the forecheck right
after that.
The Penguins defense held
the Senators without a shot un-
til they got their rst at 11:41.
Jeff Zatkoff made the save on
that one, but Binghamtons sec-
ond shot of the period seconds
later connected after a Penguin
turnover in the defensive end.
The Penguins outshot Bing-
hamton 14-4 in the period but
still carried a 1-1 tie into the sec-
ond frame.

Wichita State holds off Ohio St.
LOS ANGELES Wichita State is
headed to the Final Four, and these
Shockers should be no surprise to
anybody.
Not after the way they held off
mighty Ohio State in the West Re-
gional nal.
Malcolm Armstead scored 14
points, Fred Van Vleet bounced in
a big basket with 1 minute left, and
ninth-seeded Wichita State earned its
rst trip to the Final Four since 1965
with a 70-66 victory over Ohio State
on Saturday.
Van Vleet scored 12 points as the

PENGUINS SUNDAY
My Hometown
Chris Collins
Growing up in a small town near the
shore of Lake Ontario, Chris Collins has
seen rsthand how the lake effect snow
can pile up and how far the winter tem-
peratures can dip.
Hes quick to point out that the winters
in Fairport, N.Y., were harsh.
But the summers thats another story.
To the north of Fairport is Lake Ontario
and to the south are the Finger Lakes and
New York wine country. When the weather
got warm, Fairport transformed from a
cold, winter locale to a charming small
town that was actually once named one of
the top places to live in the country. With
so many lakes nearby, shing and boating
are big in Fairport. Theres also plenty of
golf courses and even a canal running
through the middle of town that is home
to a summer festival and the sight of
numerous quaint shops.
Life in Fairport was good for Collins. His
family spent plenty of time in the Finger
Lakes region where he shed the days
away in pursuit of one really big sh. And
even the winters werent that bad, con-
sidering his familys tradition of backyard
hockey rinks that eventually evolved into
Collins father starting up an indoor rink
right in the middle of town. Talk about a
perk for a hockey player.
Player: Chris Collins
Hometown: Fairport, NY
Type: Small town
Population: 5,353 (2010 Census)
Distance from Wilkes-Barre: 206 miles
Lets start with the bad. What are the
winters like in Fairport?
Its basically on Lake Ontario, so we
always had a ton of lake effect snow and
it is always cold. The winters are pretty
harsh.
And the good?
The winters arent the greatest but the
summers are unreal. You have the Finger
Lakes, Lake Ontario, the wine country.
Tons of golf courses. Its a nice place to
live in the summer.
Well, wouldnt there be a bright spot
as well in the winter as far as playing
hockey?
Hockey-wise it was great. I grew up
with a rink in my backyard and its a big
hockey community, like the towns in
Canada. My dad always had a rink in the
backyard, and before that my grandfather
always built a rink for my dad.
Wasnt there another place to play
some outdoor hockey that didnt involve
a backyard rink?
The Erie Canal. It goes right through
the center of Fairport. Before my grand-
father built a rink for my dad, they always
skated on the canal. I skated a couple of
times as well. The town has a winter tour-
nament every year on the canal and they
build a bunch of little rinks.
What did you do outside of hockey
while living in Fairport?
My family has a cottage an hour and a
half north where Lake Ontario meets the
St. Lawrence River, still in the same region
as Fairport. Our cottage is right next to
Don Cherrys (Hockey Night in Canada
personality) and wed go up there and go
boating and sh a ton. Wed go for walleye,
pike, bass and the little perch which are
good to eat. But I was and still am always
on the hunt for a muskie. I try for one
every summer but never get it. I did have
one on my line once but we couldnt land
it.
Money Magazine listed Fairport as
one of its top places to live in 2005.
Does that surprise you?
No. Its a small little town where
everyone knows each other. You have the
bridge over the canal with all the little
shops - a typical small town but an incred-
ible place to grow up. I go back and go to
all the same restaurants and everyone
knows you. Its fun.
Would you like to move back to Fairport
at some point?
Im not sure what I want to do career-
wise yet after hockey, but Fairport would
be a great place to raise a family. All of my
family is there and my dad owns a hockey
rink right in the center of town, so thats a
good home base for me. I could denitely
see myself living in Fairport as I get older
and when its time to raise a family.
STANDINGS
It was crazy how it worked out, but the timing couldnt have been better.
You need a break and I got mine then. It really worked out well.
Dylan Reese
on a deal that sent him from the Syracuse Crunch to the New York Islanders
uncertainty
or
opportunity
FRED ADAMS/FOR THE TIMES LEADER
Three years ago, Dylan Reese found himself being involved in a trade that ended with him getting a lengthy stay
in the NHL with the New York Islanders.
It was an uneventful day for Dylan Reese as he shopped for food in a
Syracuse grocery store three years ago. That was until he learned he
had just been traded by the Columbus Blue Jackets to the New York
Islanders.
It was two days before the NHL trade deadline, and the move set off
a whirlwind of events for Reese that would change his career.

For players in the AHL, a trade deadline deal
could mean a chance to play at the next level
A few hours after he learned of the
trade, Reese hit the road for Bridge-
port - the Islanders AHL afliate,
where he played the next night. The
following day - at the trade deadline,
the Islanders moved a defenseman
and that night lost another to injury.
So, two days after he was shopping
for food in a Syracuse grocery store,
Reese suddenly found himself in an
Islanders uniform playing in his rst
NHL game.
And thats where Reese would n-
ish the season.
It was crazy how it worked out,
but the timing couldnt have been
better, he said. You need a break
and I got mine then. It really worked
out well.
With the trade deadline just three
days away, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
players have watched the parent club
already make three signicant trades
while bidding farewell to one team-
mate - defenseman Joseph Morrow
who was sent to Dallas.
Could more be on the move in the
next several days? Is the possibility
of nishing the season with a new
organization weighing on players?
Not really.
I dont think anyones looking over
their shoulder thinking theyre next,
said veteran center Warren Peters. If
it happens, it happens.
Besides, Peters added, being traded
when youre in the minors is different
than when youre with an NHL club.
Its a different mentality. If you get
traded in the minors, its an opportu-
nity, Peters said. Somebody sought
you out.
Reese is proof of that. With Syra-
cuse in 2009-2010, Reese was having
a solid season posting 22 points in
51 games. But he was on a team with
a glut of defensemen, and the same
could be found with the parent club in
Columbus.
There were a lot of guys unhappy,
who wanted to be traded all the
time, Reese said.
The trade that sent Reese to New
York was unexpected, he said. Reese
never requested a trade and didnt
hear his name mentioned in any talks.
Still, when the move came Reese
latched on to the opportunity and
turned a season that began with little
hope into one that nished with a
lengthy NHL stint.
Thats why Reese said the looming
trade deadline isnt necessarily some-
thing that players should fear.
In my experience, if you do get
traded youre usually putting yourself
in a better situation or youre going
somewhere with maybe more oppor-
tunity in a different organization, he
said. If you do get moved, look at it
in a positive way and take advantage
of the opportunity.
While being traded isnt something
to worry about, according to Reese,
this year he wouldnt be surprised if
more Wilkes-Barre/Scranton players
were moved by Pittsburgh.
Reese made the assertion based
on his experience with being traded
and his familiarity with the Penguins
organization having grown up in
Pittsburgh.
Over the last few years the Pen-
guins have been busy at the trade
deadline and they have a lot of depth,
so theres going to be some guys who
arent in the position theyd like to
be, Reese said. But from an orga-
nization standpoint theyre trying to
win a Stanley Cup, and you have to
do whats best with your management
to win. I wouldnt be surprised to see
more movement.
In my experience, if you do
get traded youre usually
putting yourself in a better
situation or youre going
somewhere with maybe more
opportunity in a different
organization.

NCAA MEN S BASKETBAL L TOURNAMENT
Krzyzewski,
Pitino cross
paths again
By NANCY ARMOUR
AP National Writer
INDIANAPOLIS Mike
Krzyzewski and Rick Pitino are
nally doing an encore.
For the rst time since their
teams played perhaps the great-
est game in the history of the
NCAA tournament, Krzyze-
wski and Pitino will meet in
the NCAA
tournament
today when
top- seeded
Loui s vi l l e
faces Duke.
In the re-
gional nals,
no less.
N e v e r
mind that
few of their
current play-
ers were
even born
in 1992. Or
that Pitino
is no lon-
ger at Ken-
tucky, hav-
ing switched
sides in the states civil war after
his brief trip to Boston and the
NBA ended badly.
Krzyzewski and Pitino are for-
ever linked by that one game in
Philadelphia, immortalized by
Christian Laettners improbable
shot.
Its one of those moments
in time that helped dene our
sport, Krzyzewski said Satur-
day. When Ive talked to Rick
about it, we realize we were the
lucky guys. We had different
roles at that time, but we were
both lucky to be there.
Said Pitino, It was like being
in Carnegie Hall and seeing the
best musician or the best singer.
Just sitting there in amazement
of what they were doing out on
the basketball court.
Krzyzewski and Pitino are
two of the nest coaches of their
generation, with ve NCAA ti-
tles and 1,618 victories between
them. Yet for all of their success,
and for as good a friends as they
are, Krzyzewski and Pitino rare-
ly play each other.
When Louisville (32-5) and
Duke (30-5) played in the Battle
4 Atlantis tournament in No-
vember Duke won it was
the rst time Krzyzewski and Pi-
tino had played each other since
92. Todays game will be their
third meeting ever.
Thats why we got themin the
conference. Got to start doing
this a little bit more, Krzyzewski
joked, referring to Louisvilles up-
coming move to the ACC.
But almost nothing could top
that rst meeting between them.
The Blue Devils, led by La-
ettner and Grant Hill, were de-
fending national champions in
1992. Kentucky was on the rise
again after two years on proba-
tion. When they met in the old
Spectrum for the East Region
nals, it was a showdown of the
1 and 2 seeds, a game worthy of
a national championship.
After coming from 10 down in
regulation, Kentucky appeared
to have the game won when
Sean Woods made a running
bank shot in the lane with 2.5
seconds left in overtime. Duke
called a timeout, and gave the
ball to Grant Hill to inbound.
The Wildcats knew the ball
was going to Laettner, a 6-foot-
11 center whod made a buzzer-
beater against Connecticut in
the regional nals two years
earlier. But without Jamal Mash-
burn hed fouled out Pitino
pulled John Pelphrey and Deron
Feldhaus aside and warned
them not to foul.
I said, Whatever you do,
dont foul him. He hasnt missed
a shot, Pitino recalled.
As anyone whos ever watched
the tournament in the last 21
years knows, Hill threw a strike
from the far baseline and found
Laettner at the foul line with
his back to the basket. Laettner
faked right, spun to his left and
his 15-footer hit nothing but net.
Coach K and Pitino battle
for Final Four 21 years after
Christian Laettners shot.

NCAA college basketball tournament Saturday in Arlington, Texas. Florida faces Michigan in

Threes are wild in South nal
By STEPHEN HAWKINS
AP Basketball Writer
ARLINGTON, Texas Trey
Burke was a 16-month-old tod-
dler the last time Michigan
was still playing this late in the
NCAA tournament.
That regional nal 19 years
ago, a loss that ended the Fab
Five era, was played in a build-
ingthat nolonger exists. Where
Reunion Arena once stood near
downtown Dallas is now a va-
cant lot about 20 minutes from
where the Wolverines nally
get another chance to get back
to the Final Four.
Its denitely crazy, Burke
said Saturday. Just to get this
program moving back in the
right direction means a lot to
us.
No. 4 seed Michigan (29-
7) plays SEC regular-season
champion and No. 3 seed
Florida (29-7) for the South Re-
gional title on the raised court
at ultramodern Cowboys Sta-
dium today.
The Wolverines advanced
largely because of Burke, the
sophomore and Big Ten play-
er of the year who scored 23
points all after halftime
as they overcame a 14-point
decit against top seed Kansas.
They forced overtime when
Burke hit a long game-tying
3-pointer with 4.2 seconds left
in regulation and won 87-85 in
overtime.
Yeah, I was surprised at
how far I was, Burke admitted
after seeing multiple replays of
the shot that may just become
known as the Fab 3.
Burke also had 10 assists,
making him the rst player to
have 20 points and 10 assists
in the NCAA round of 16 since
1997. The
last to do
it? A Provi-
dence play-
er known
as Billy
The Kid
aka Flor-
ida coach
Billy Dono-
van, who
will be on
the oppo-
site bench
when his
Gators play
in their
third con-
secutive regional nal.
Its funny, my wife says to
me this morning, she asked
me the same question, she
said, Who was the player?,
said Donovan, admitting that
he already knew and remem-
bered his numbers (26 points,
10 assists vs. Alabama). And
I said Magic Johnson. And she
said, No, you. I said Im glad
Im comparing myself to Magic
Johnson, thats great.
Florida has been to this point
each of the last two years, but
they havent been further since
winning consecutive national
championships under Donovan
in 2006 and 2007.
In both of those regional
nal losses to Louisville
last year and in overtime to
Butler in 2011 the Gators
had 11-point leads in the sec-
ond half. This is now the last
chance for fourth-year Florida
seniors Kenny Boynton and
Erik Murphy to get a title of
their own.
Game to game, its a dif-
ferent feeling, Boynton said.
You think about it before the
game. Once the game starts,
you try to do everything in your
control individually and as a
team to change the outcome.
Up to this point, our team does
a great job preparing the right
way.
After falling behind 15-4 ear-
ly against Florida Gulf Coast,
the high-ying No. 15 seed
everybody knows now after
an unprecedented run to the
NCAA round of 16, the Gators
recovered with a 16-0 run late
in the rst half to go ahead to
stay in a 62-50 victory.
While Florida is loaded with
seniors and NCAA tournament
experience, the Wolverines
have three freshmen in their
starting lineup. Junior guard
Tim Hardaway Jr., one of three
sons of former NBA players on
Michigans roster, is the only
starter older than Burke.
All that youth never kept
them from starting the season
with the goal of competing for
a national championship.
A lot of people doubted us,
a lot of people thought we were
too young, not tough enough.
And I think weve proved peo-
ple wrong over the last couple
of weeks, Burke said. I think
we understood we have what it
takes to be a young team that
can go far in this tournament.
Being young isnt an excuse.
Michigan hasnt been to the
Final Four since consecutive
national championship game
appearances in 1992 and 1993
by the Fab Five Chris Web-
ber, Jalen Rose, Juwan How-
ard, Ray Jackson and Jimmy
King as freshmen and soph-
omores.

When it comes to baseball
events in Northeast Pennsylva-
nia, this week will be as big as
they get.
Festivities for the Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre RailRiders biggest
week in team history, will begin
on Tuesday when the brand new
team store opens up for business
to the public. The establishment,
which contains all types of Rail-
Riders merchandise, is located
on the outside of the PNC Field
plaza, unlike the previous loca-
tion which was inside the park.
It will be easy to notice the
team store because the approxi-
mately 2,000-square foot lot con-
sists of an enormous RailRiders
jersey blown up in the upper
part of a window. The size of the
store by far dwarfs the previous
one which was just 549 square
feet.
The next day, the RailRiders
are hosting a free sneak peak
of restructured PNC Field for
fans to get an early look at the
new structure. The festivities,
which will include open conces-
sion stands, entertainment at
the family fun zone and a work-
out for players, begins at 5:30
Wednesday night.
If you cant make it out to the
ballpark for the free preview on
Wednesday, thats OK theres
still 72 other chances this sea-
son or more if the RailRiders
advance to the playoffs to see
the rebuilt stadium. The rst
chance comes on Thursday for
the rst game in RailRiders his-
tory.
This is something you wont
want to miss as plenty of festivi-
ties are planned throughout the
game to make it a once-in-a-life-
time experience.
One of the highlights of the
festivities will be when former
New York Yankee and Hall of
Famer Reggie Jackson throws
out a ceremonial rst pitch. The
gates will open at 5:30 p.m. on
Thursday with entertainment
beginning that time as well. First
pitches are set to begin at ap-
proximately 6:30 and the game
against the Pawtucket Red Sox
begins at 7:05.
Jackson, who was born and
raised in Wyncote, just a two-
hour drive from PNC Field, was
inducted in the Baseball Hall of
Fame in 1993 as a Yankee after
ending his career with 563 ca-
reer home runs, ve World Se-
ries championships, two World
Series MVP awards and 14 All-
Star Game appearances among
many other achievements in a
long and storied career.
The RailRiders will play Paw-
tucket for four games beginning
Thursday kicking off a seven-
game homestand.

Big week on tap for Riders

A complete preview of the
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders
upcoming season.
Fittingly, a matchup between
schools from the soon-to-break-
apart, rough-and-tumble Big
East became quite a struggle on
the offensive end. Syracuse (30-
9) was led by senior forward
James Southerlands 16 points.
Michael Carter-Williams, a
6-foot-6 guard who is out front
in the zone, was named the re-
gionals top player after having
12 points, eight rebounds and
six assists Saturday.
Marquette (26-9) hadnt
scored fewer than 47 points all
season and, indeed, put up
74 in a victory over Syracuse on
Feb. 25.
But this time, Marquette
kept turning the ball over, see-
ing its shots blocked or just
plain missing.
They beat us from start to
nish. We collectively tried ev-
erything we knew to try, Mar-
quette coach Buzz Williams
said. It is the zone, and it is the
players in the zone.
Much like what happened
Thursday in the regional semi-
nals, when Syracuse knocked
off top-seeded Indiana by limit-
ing it to a season-low output,
too.
I dont think weve played as
good defensively as these last
two games, senior guard Bran-
don Triche said. We held some
good teams down.
All told, Marquette made
only 12 of 53 shots 23 per-
cent and was 3 for 24 on
3-pointers. Vander Blue, who
carried Marquette to the round
of eight, was held to 14 points
on 3-for-15 shooting. The Gold-
en Eagles 39 points were a re-
cord lowfor a teamin an NCAA
tournament regional nal since
the shot clock was introduced
in 1986.
They cover ground really
good. Youve got to get the
ball in the middle, youve got
to play inside out, youve got
to get to the free throw line
and wear them down with the
3-pointer when you can, Blue
said. Theyre really good at
what they do in that zone.
In the national seminals at
Atlanta next week, Syracuse
will face the winner of Sundays
South Regional nal between
Florida and Michigan.
Last season, Syracuse fell a
victory short of the Final Four,
losing to Ohio State in the
round of eight.
We wanted to get over
the hump, Southerland said.
Thats what I told the guys:
Weve still got two more to go.
The Big East is transforming
radically before next season.
Syracuse is heading to the At-
lantic Coast Conference, while
Marquette is one of seven bas-
ketball-centric schools depart-
ing the conference to form a
new league that is taking the
Big East name with it.
But talk about a last hurrah.
Not only is Syracuse on its
way to the Final Four, but the
league also could have a second
representative because Louis-
ville is in the Midwest Regional
nal Sunday against Duke.

Steve Alford was hired as
UCLA basketball coach on
Saturday, spurning New
Mexico
days
after he
agreed

10-year
deal with
the Lo-
bos for a
chance
to run
what he called the pre-

in a row, before retiring
in 1975. Alford learned
about Wooden as a rst-
grader in Martinsville,
Ind., where his father,
Sam, coached the high
school basketball team at
Woodens alma mater.
Ever since then there
was a draw to nd out
more about him, Alford
said on a teleconference.
Alford agreed to a
seven-year deal worth
$18.2 million, with a
yearly salary of $2.6
million and a $200,000
signing bonus, according
to UCLA athletic director
Dan Guerrero.

WILKES-BARRE FDU-
Florham recored pair of baseball
wins over host Wilkes Univer-
sity in a Freedom Conference
doubleheader, winning the rst
game 6-1 and the second 10-7
Saturday.
In the rst game, Adam Misi-
ura took the loss, pitching ve
innings while allowing all six
runs on nine hits.
In the second game, Tim Ben-
ner and Carmen Lopresto led
the offense with two hits each
for the Colonels.
Wilkes drops pair in baseball
L O C A L R O U N D U P
work in the offensive zone again
gave the Penguins a lead.
With Binghamtons Corey Co-
wick off for an unsportsmanlike
conduct double-minor, the Pen-
guins set up shop in the Bing-
hamton end. Beau Bennett got
the puck back to Kolarik at the
high slot, who launched a wrist
shot on net where it was tipped
by Trevor Smith for a 2-1 lead.
The power play goal was the
Penguins fth in the last four
games.
Guys are taking pride in what
theyre doing and this time of
year there has to be produc-
tion to win games, Hynes said.
Weve seen that from them the
last few games.
Penalty trouble struck the Pen-
guins late in the second period.
Chris Collins went off for hook-
ing with six seconds remaining.
As the teams lined up for the en-
suing faceoff, Warren Peters was
called for slashing, giving the
Senators a ve-on-three power
play for a full two minutes car-
rying over into the third period.
The Penguins killed off the
two-man advantage, led by a
spectacular pad save from Zat-
koff to rob Derek Grant of an
open net.
On the night, the Penguins
penalty kill was a perfect 4-for-4
on the night and they have al-
lowed only one power play goal
in 31 chances spanning the last
seven games.
The penalty kill came up
huge again. Anytime you kill off
a ve-on-three for two minutes
is huge, and thats momemtum
for the team right there, Hynes
said.

with a nail-biting victory over
the second-seeded Buckeyes
(29-8), whose 11-game winning
streak ended one game short of
their second straight Final Four.
Wichita State roared to a
20-point lead with 11 minutes to
play after Ohio State played an
awful rst half, but LaQuinton
Ross scored 15 of his 19 points
after halftime, leading a fero-
cious rally to within three points
in the nal minutes.
But after Tekele Cotton hit
a 3-pointer with 2:20 left, Van-
Vleet scored on a shot that
bounced all over the rim before
dropping. Ron Baker and Cotton
hit last-minute free throws to se-
cure the second Final Four trip
in Wichita States history.
Wichita State is just the fth
team seeded ninth or higher
to reach the Final Four since
seeding began in 1979, but the
second in three years following
11th-seeded VCUs improbable
run in 2011.
The Shockers are also the
kings of Kansas, reaching the na-
tional seminals after the pow-
erful Jayhawks and Kansas State
both went down.
Deshaun Thomas scored 21
points after missing nine of his
rst 12 shots for the Buckeyes,
who made just 24 percent of
their rst-half shots. Aaron Craft
scored nine points on 2-for-12
shooting for the Buckeyes.
But after two weeks of up-
sets in the wild West bracket,
underdog Wichita State was
an appropriate choice to cut
down Staples Centers nets. The
Shockers well-balanced roster
managed built that enormous
lead with the same consummate
team play that theyve shown
throughout the tournament.

Teams are listed in alphabetical order.
DIVISION 1
COUGHLIN
Coach: Alice Lyons, third season
PIAA Class: 3A
2012 WVC Record/Finish: 5-10, 4
th
Division
1 East
2012 postseason: Lost 10-0 to North
Pocono in D2-3A quarterfnals
Home Field: Birchwood Hills, Plains Twp.
Key Players Lost: Cara Answini, 2B; Jess
Luton, P; Lori Masi, C.
Key Players Returning: Danyelle Schweit,
3B, Sr.; Cassy Vukovich, C, Sr.; Katie Colle-
ran, 1B, Jr.; Liz Ellsworth, SS, Jr.; Keighlyn
Oliver, LF, Jr.; Marissa Ross, OF, Jr.
Key Newcomers: Caitlin Vukovich, 2B-RF,
Sr.; Sam Conway, 2B-RF, Jr.; Julie Suchoski,
P-OF, Jr.; Kayla Cunningham, 2B-RF, So.
Outlook: The Crusaders have posted
four consecutive seasons with double-
digit losses, but that could change this year.
Although pitching is a bit of a question mark,
the core of the team has been together for
two seasons. The offense will be paced by
returning divisional all-star Ross (.458, 5
triples, 14 RBI), Ellsworth (.380, 4 doubles,
13 RBI) and Vukovich (.326, 3 triples, 7 RBI).
There is also good depth at nearly every
position.
CRESTWOOD
Coach: Bob Bertoni, third season
PIAA Class: 3A
rd
Division
1 East
2012 postseason: Lost 3-2 to Wyoming
Area in D2-3A quarterfnals
Home Field: On campus
Key Players Lost: Mary Kate Coulter, C;
Danielle Desperito, IF; Corey Gallagher, OF
Key Players Returning: Ashley Casem,
2B-P, Sr.; Chrissy Perry, OF, Sr.; Rachael
Ritz, CF-SS, Sr.; Juliet Wotherspoon, OF, Sr.;
Alyssa Davies, P, Jr.; Emily Sipple, C-3B, Jr.;
Mel Snyder, C-3B, Jr.
Key Newcomers: Bree Fetterman, OF, Fr.;
Ashley Olenginski, 1B, So.
Outlook: After consecutive eight-win
seasons, this could be the year the Comets
break out. Nine letterwinners return including
All-WVC selection Ritz (.390) and divisional
all-star Casem (.350) two of the teams top
hitters. Snyder was also a divisional all-star
last season, while Davies earned second-
team honors and could be one of the WVCs
top pitchers. Olenginski could provide pop to
the middle of the veteran lineup.
HAZLETON AREA
Coach: Vince Trivelpiece, ffth season
PIAA Class: 4A
nd
Division
1 East
2012 postseason: Lost 1-0 to Williamsport
in D2-4-4A championship game
Key Players Lost: Ashley Donlin, OF;
Nicole Gasser, 2B; Elizabeth Gordineer,
P-1B; Catherine LaBuz, OF; Carly Rossi, OF;
Shannon Salvaterra, P-1B
Key Players Returning: Becky Demko, P-IF,
Sr.; Haley Kendall, LF, Sr.; Justine Rossi, C,
Sr.; Mikaela Browdy, IF, So.; Abby Sachse,
OF, So.; Maria Trivelpiece, IF-P, So; Lexi
Wolk, CF, So.
Key Newcomers: Samantha Varela, P-1B,
So.; Celine Podlesney, 1B-C, Fr.; Mackenzie
Yori, IF, Fr.
Outlook: Although six underclassmen will
start, optimism abounds with the Cougars,
who could make a deep run in the state
playoffs. Demko (0.51 ERA) and Trivelpiece
(.400 BA, 14 RBI) are returning All-WVC
picks. Rossi (.306, 13 RBI), Sachse (.393, 14
RBI) and Wolk (.361, 17 SB) were frst-team
divisional all-stars, while Kendall (.308, 14
SB) was a second-team choice. And theres
plenty of depth and talent to patch the few
holes entering the season.
NANTICOKE
Coach: Ryan Stetz, frst season
PIAA Class: 2A
st
Division
1 East
2012 postseason: D2-2A champion; lost
14-1 to D4 champion Warrior Run in PIAA
Class 2A semifnals.
Home Field: K.M. Smith Elementary
Key Players Lost: Brooke Chapin, P; Mag-
gie Gola, 3B; Sammy Gow, SS; Ange Hillan,
CF; Kate Kowalski, LF; Lindsay Roberts, 1B;
Hannah Rubasky P; Katie Wolfe, C
Key Players Returning: Kayla Benjamin,
OF, Sr.; Ali Matulewski, P; Kayley Schinski,
SS
Key Newcomers: To be determined
Outlook: This will be a year of transition for
Nanticoke, which has a new coach and six
starters to replace including four all-WVC
selections. Schinski was an all-WVC second-
team pick. Matulewski will take over the
pitching chores while Benjamin returns to the
outfeld. Despite several new faces, the goal
remains the same making a strong push
through the postseason.
PITTSTON AREA
Coach: Dave DeLuca, second season
PIAA Class: 3A
th
Division
1 East
2012 postseason: Lost 10-0 to North
Pocono in D2-3A frst round
Home Field: Primary Center, Rock Street,

Key Players Lost: Kelly Keener, OF; Grace
ONeill, 1B
Key Players Returning: Antoinette Scialpi,
SS, Sr.; Kaitlyn Simyan, IF, Jr.; Alyssa
Talerico, C-IF, Jr.; Theresa Domarasky, OF,
So.; Lauren Dragon, IF, So.; Julie Lieback,
C-IF, So.
Key Newcomers: Liz Cappelloni, IF, So.;
Taylor Baloga, P, Fr.; Addison Hazlet, IF-OF,
Fr.; Mindina Lieback, IF-OF, Fr.; Marley
OBrien, IF, Fr.; Kassity Roche, OF, Fr.; Julie
Silinskie, IF-OF, Fr.
Outlook: While the program hasnt found
much success recently, theres hope that a
new attitude can produce a positive effect on
the team. The Patriots return a solid group,
but once again they will be a young team
relying on sophomores and freshmen. That
plus playing in the toughest division will make
for some rough times this season, but will
only help in the future.
WYOMING VALLEY WEST
Coach: Desiree Hooper, second season
PIAA Class: 4A
th
Division
1 West
2012 Postseason: Lost 4-2 to Wallenpau-
pack in D2-4 4A frst round
Home Field: Third Avenue Elementary,

Key Players Lost: None.
Key Players Returning: Casey Dolan, SS,
Sr.; Kymber Letteer, C, Sr.; Kelcie Senchak,
P-OF, Sr; Carissa Bevan, CF, Jr.; Leanne
Dellarte, LF, Jr.; Alex Gonda, 2B-3B, Jr.;
Danielle Grega, 2B, Jr.; Sarah Fugate, RF,
So.; Haley Gayoski, DH, So.; Sabrina Ham-
ersley, CF-RF, So.; Megan Kane, 1B, So.
Key Newcomers: Sami Amato, 3B, Fr.;
Chloe Ruckle, P, Fr.
Outlook: Its been a rough three-year run for
Valley West, which is 7-35 over that span.
A tougher schedule wont help matters, but
there is optimism. The Spartans were in a lot
of close games last year and with everyone
back they are expecting to improve. Dellarte
and Dolan will form a solid left side. They
and Senchak were second-team all-stars
last year. Letteer was an honorable mention
choice. Overall, though, this is a young
squad.
DIVISION 2
BERWICK
Coach: Brian Bridge, fourth season
PIAA Class: 3A
2012 WVC Record/Finish: 9-5, tied 2
nd
Division 1 West
2012 postseason: Lost 3-2 to Holy Redeem-
er in D2-3A frst round
Home Field: Crispin Softball Field
Key Players Lost: None.
Key Players Returning: Margaret Bridge,
P-IF, Sr.; Brittany Fisher, OF-Ult, Sr.; Sara
Berlin, C, Jr.; Cassondra Dianese, C-1B, Jr.;
Taylor Kern, OF-DP, Jr.; Ashton Mensinger,
P-OF, Jr.; Abbey Remley, SS-IF, Jr.; Abbey
Favata, OF-Ult, So.; Courtney Hummel,
OF-Utl, So.; Moriah Lynn, 3B-IF, So.; Kylene
Welsh, 2B-Ult, So.
Key Newcomers: Bridget Orlando, OF, Sr.
Outlook: The Dawgs have the biggest piece
for success in place in Bridge (1.72 ERA, 97
Ks), an All-WVC selection and second-team
all-state pick. Shell have a veteran defense
backing her along with a strong offense
featuring divisional all-stars Welsh (.418 BA)
and Lynn (.298), Remley (.380) and Dianese
(.370, 7 doubles). Everyone is back from a
team that had an unexpected early exit from
the D2-3A playoffs last year.
DALLAS
Coach: Joyce Tinner, 17th season
PIAA Class: 3A
th
Division
1 West
2012 postseason: Lost 3-1 to Scranton Prep
in D2-3A frst round
Home Field: Back Mountain Little League
Key Players Lost: None
Key Players Returning: Taylor Baker, P-OF,
Sr.; Nicole Giampietro, IF, Sr.; Abigail Berger,
IF, Jr.; Katy Comitz, IF-OF, Jr.; Taylor Kelley,
IF, Jr.; Samantha Missal, OF, Jr.; Amy Bolton,
OF, So.; Mallory Faux, P-OF, So.; Sydney
Kern, P-OF, So.; Madison Perez, OF, So.;
Megan Roberts, DH, So.; Kylee Saba, IF,
So.; Kelly Snyder, C, So.; Sadie Trudgen,
IF, So.
Key Newcomers: Ivy Chamberlain, IF-OF,
Fr.; Kali Hutchins, OF, Fr.; Samantha LaNun-
ziata, OF-IF, Fr.; Amanda Lopez, IF-OF, So.;
Kimmy Pretko, IF-OF, Fr.
Outlook: A perennial WVC power, Dallas
dropped under .500 last season. The reason
was twofold. First, the Mountaineers put a
young team on the feld in 2012. Second,
they struggled in close games. Theyre still
young, but the experience should help when
the contest is on the line this time around.
The offense will be led by divisional all-stars
Kelley and Missal. Taylor was a second-team
selection, while a handful of returners were
selected as honorable mention choices.
LAKE-LEHMAN
Coach: Wayne Oplinger, second season
PIAA Class: 3A
rd
Division 2
2012 Postseason: Lost 8-1 to Holy Cross in
D2-2A frst round
Key Players Lost: Tiffany Oplinger, SS;
Sarah Perry, OF; Paige Pyskoty, OF
Key Players Returning: Vickey Cadwalder,
OF, Sr.; Sarah Stacey, 3B, Sr.; Britney Meek-
er, C, Jr.; Lacey Miller, P, Jr.; Lexi Oplinger,
SS, So.; Korri Wandel, SS, So.
Key Newcomers: Jordan Hodle, P-Ult, Fr.
Coachs Outlook: Oplinger an All-WVC
selection who led the conference in hitting,
homers and triples will be very diffcult to
replace. However, the cupboard is far from
bare. The younger Oplinger, Stacey and
Wandel all hit for average while Cadwalder
has power capabilities. The schedule will
be tougher, but with the girls dedicating
themselves through travel ball a successful
season is quite possible.
TUNKHANNOCK
Coach: John Keefe, eighth season
PIAA Class: 3A
2012 WVC Record/Finish: 9-5, tied 2
nd
Division 1 West
2012 postseason: Lost 6-0 to Holy Redeem-
er in D2-3A quarterfnals
Key Players Lost: Jamie Hampsey, P-OF;
Ashley Inman, P-3B
Key Players Returning: Jess Brennan,
OF, Sr.; C Emily Forba, C, Sr.; Kirsten Gilpin,
P-OF, Sr.; Ashleigh Nafus, OF-1B, Sr.; Erin
Smith, P-OF, Jr.; Molly Hampsey, 2B, So.;
Tracy Kromko, SS, So.
Key Newcomers: Ryleigh Fitch, 3B, Jr.;
Meghan Healey, OF, Jr.; Taylor Hegedty, 1B,
Jr.; Ashley Knott, Ult, Jr.
Outlook: The departure of all-WVC selec-
tion Inman and all-WVC second-team pick
Hampsey leaves the pitching little thin as
Gilpin and Smith only threw at the junior
varsity level last year. Likewise, the offense
needs to come around with Brennan (.361
BA), Forba (.362, 12 RBI) and Nafus (.326,
15 RBI) leading the way. The defense is set
and will be the strong point at least in the
early going.
WYOMINGAREA
Coach: Barry Przybyla, frst season
PIAA Class: 3A
st
Division
1 West
2012 postseason: Lost 6-1 to Valley View in
D2-3A championship game
Home Field: Atlas Field, West Pittston
Key Players Lost: Rachel Campbell, OF;
Katie Coolbaugh, OF
Key Players Returning: Serra Degnan, SS,
Sr.; Alex Holtz, P, Sr.; Kate Kross, 1B, Sr.;
Adrianne Przybyla, CF, Jr.; Kat Sokirka, 3B,
Jr.; Nicole Turner, C, Jr.; Emily Wolfgang,
2b, So.
Key Newcomers: To be determined
Outlook: The Warriors return plenty of talent
from a team that won its frst conference title
in 21 years. Holtz was an All-WVC selection
after an outstanding season on the mound
and at the plate. Degnan and Turner were
All-WVC second-team picks and are part of
a strong offense that hits for average and
has some power. The team wants to take the
next step after losing in the D2-3A title game
in 2012.
DIVISION 3
GAR
Coach: Barry Snyder, fourth season
PIAA Class: 2A
th
Division
2
2012 Postseason: Lost 15-0 to Nanticoke in
D2-2A frst round
Home Field: Coal Street Park
Key Players Lost: Tara Kolativa, ss; Nicole
Krzywicki , P
Key Players Returning: Samantha Bryan,
C, Sr.; Megan ODay, Ult, Sr.; Brittany Ste-
phenson, 1B, So.
Key newcomers: Julianna Leco, IF, Sr.;
Monica Missal, OF, Sr.; Brea Seabrook,
OF, Sr.
Outlook: GAR should be a little stronger
defensively than last season, but will need
to address two other aspects in order to suc-
ceed. First, the hitting needs to improve, and
that could happen with an infux of athletes
from the soccer team. Pitching is also a
concern and no matter who takes the mound
there will be a learning curve. If the on-the-
job training goes better than expected, the
Grenadiers will be able to improve as the
season goes on.
HANOVER AREA
Coach: Tami Thomas, fourth season
PIAA Class: 2A
st
Division
2
2012 Postseason: Lost 4-0 to Lakeland in
D2-2A semifnals
Key Players Lost: Jennifer Maciejczak,
OF; Emily ODay, 1B; Nicole Trevethan, OF;
Danielle Tuzinski, P.
Key Players Returning: Caitlyn Bogart, OF,
Jr.; Brittany McNair, 1B-3B-P, Jr.; 2B Emily
Rinehimer, 2B, Jr.
Key Newcomers: Haylee Bobos, C, Fr.; Mi-
chelle McNair, SS-P, Fr.; Kim Pericci, OF, So.
Outlook: Hanover Area has several holes
to fll, starting on the mound where Division
2 Player of the Year Tuzinski has departed
along with eight other seniors. Rinehimer
(.469 BA, 12 RBI) was an all-WVC selection
last year and is the divisions premier in-
felder. McNair was a second-team divisional
all-star last season. Despite the losses, the
Hawkeyes should fare well, but another
divisional title will be tougher to acheive.
HOLY REDEEMER
Coach: Mark Senchak, third season
PIAA Class: 2A
th
Division
1 East
2012 postseason: Lost 10-1 to Valley View
in D2-3A semifnals
Home Field: Kingston Rec. Center Field
Key Players Lost: Abby Staskiel, IF-P;

Key Players Returning: Biz Eaton, OF, Sr.;
Sydney Kotch, ss, Sr.; Alexis Shemanski,
C-3B, Sr.; Kaitlyn Kaluzny, P-2B, Jr.; Julie
Kosik, OF-IG, Jr.; Kasey Miller, 1B, Jr.;
Audrey Zavada, 3B-OF, Jr.; Jen Ringsdorf,
OF-IF, So.; Chelsea Skrepenak, C-IF, So.;
Kaya Swanek, P-IF, So.
Key Newcomers: Lydia Lawson, SS-OF, Fr.;
Olivia Menning, P-IF, Fr.
Outlook: Replacing second-team all-stater
Warga and Staskiel will be diffcult, especially
since both pitched. But the Royals made a
nice playoff run last season and have a solid
group returning including Kotch (.319 BA, 3
doubles), Shemanski (.319, 3 triples, 2 hom-
ers) and Kosik (.360, 2 doubles). That factor
and playing schools closer in size could
produce a winning record.
MEYERS
Coach: Nicole Hoskins, third season
PIAA Class: 2A
th
Division 2
2012 Postseason: Lost 9-5 to Elk Lake in
D2-2A frst round
Home Field: Miner Park
Key Players Lost: Amy Kowalczyk, C-SS
Key Players Returning: Emily Gruver, OF,
Sr.; Eilish Hoban, LF, Sr.; Chrissy Shonk, 1B,
Sr.; Brianna DiMaggio, P, Jr.; Sarah McCann,
P-IF, Jr.; Leah Merrick, 3B, Jr.
Key Newcomers: Brandi Soto, OF, Sr.;
Mackenzie Winder, IF, Sr.; Gina Strillacci,
IF, So.
Outlook: Meyers is hoping to get over .500
after consecutive seasons just under the
mark. The corner infeld will have veterans in
Merrick (.357 BA, 15 RBI) and Shonk (.308).
Gruver and Hoban will solidify the outfeld,
while DiMaggio (.308, 14 RBI) brings more
pop to the offense. McCann was a divisional
all-star last year. Success will depend on put-
ting it all together on a more consistent basis.

Key Newcomers: Desiree Dinko, P-Ult, Fr.
Coachs Outlook: The Preppers have
worked hard in the offseason to improve on
last years record. Everyone returns to the
lineup, so hopes are high for an improve-
ment in the postseason. Returning divisional
all-star Karchner fanned 66 and batted .386
last year. Young (.328 BA) provides hitting
and strong defense. Purcell, a second-team

Outlook: Northwest is looking to have a solid
year and be competitive, both of which are
likely. The Rangers must fll a big hole in the
mound with the departure of All-WVC selec-
tion Linso. She was also the main cog on
offense. Koehn was a second-teamAll-WVC
choice. They will be a young team overall,
but bring enough experience to contend for
the division title once again.

nahan, P, Jr.; Kenzie Gagliardi, P-Ult, So.
Key Newcomers: not provided
Outlook: The graduation of a pair of .400 hit-
ters will leave a gap in the offense, but there
is talent returning. Gagliardi (.375, 3 homers,
13 RBI), Gabriel (.342), Holmes (.318, 2
homers) and Bresnahan (.297) will form the
nucleus. Bresnahan and Gagliardi also return
to the mound, where Bresnahan picked up
three wins last season. Still, several new
faces must step up for the Blue Knights to
have a successful season.

Transition time at Nanticoke
The 330 victories, two state
titles, six District 2 champion-
ships and numerous Wyoming
Valley Conference crowns wont
fade from the programs history
any time soon.
And neither will the guy who
coached Nanticoke to those
accomplishments Gary Wil-
liams.
No, Williams isnt planning a
comeback after 22 years at the
helm of the Trojanettes. But he
certainly not disappearing from
the local softball landscape.
Williams is enjoying his re-
tirement by taking in the sport
at his own pace. He helps out
coaching younger kids on travel
teams. He went to see some of
his former players take the eld
for Kings College. And he pokes
around the Nanticoke program
on occasion.
Its been OK, Williams said.
Obviously, I miss it a little bit.
I miss the competition, I miss
coaching the girls. But getting
out to watch the games keeps
me involved. And helping out
with some of the younger travel
teams scratches the itch so to
speak.
The daily grind of coaching
is something Williams doesnt
miss. Hes content with letting
Ryan Stetz, his assistant for
three years, take over that chore.
He is doing a great job, Wil-
liams said. Ive dropped in a
couple times to watch practice
and just touch base. Hes well or-
ganized and knows his business.
The kids seem to be responding
positively to him. They had a
scrimmage (last) Saturday and
I liked what I saw.
This season will also be one
of transition on the eld as well.
Nanticoke graduated 13 players
from a team that came within
a game of playing for another
state title. In their place will be
underclassmen who could ma-
ture along with Stetz, a 1996
Nanticoke graduate who was a
standout center elder in high
school.
Its been exciting, Stetz said.
The girls came in with a really
good attitude and their attitude
has been contagious. It should
be an exciting year.
TOP RETURNING PLAYERS
Six Times Leader All-WVC se-
lections return.
Margaret Bridge, Berwick:
The Division 1 West MVP last
season, Bridge will give the
Dawgs a formidable presence on
the mound. She had 97 strike-
outs and a 1.72 ERA in 102 in-
nings last season, while hitting
.315 and driving in a team-lead-
ing 12 runs.
Becky Demko, Hazleton
Area: The Division 1 East MVP
as a junior, Demko shows excel-
lent control on the mound. She
was 12-4 last year with a WVC-
best 0.51 ERA, 98 strikeouts and
just 29 walks in 96 innings. She
also hit .348 with 17 RBI.
Alex Holtz, Wyoming Area:
The senior is a dual threat for
the Warriors as she enters her
senior season. She pitched 80
innings with a 2.63 ERA and 64
strikeouts last year. At the plate,
she paced Wyoming Area with a
team-best .414 batting average.
Emily Rinehimer, Hanover
Area: The junior second base-
man is expected to be a stabiliz-
ing force on a young Hawkeyes
team. She batted .469 from the
lead-off spot last year with 12
RBI and led the team with 17
runs scored and two triples. She
is also a standout on defense.
Rachel Ritz, Crestwood:
Ritz made a smooth transition
from ineld to center eld last
year. The senior is expected to
be a catalyst for the offense after
batting .411 as a junior and pac-
ing the Comets in stolen bases,
walks, runs and on-base percent-
age.
Maria Trivelpiece, Hazle-
ton Area: Trivelpiece was the
only freshman to earn all-WVC
honors last year. The second
baseman led the Cougars in
batting average (.400), on-base
percentage (.483) and walks
(11). She swiped 10 bases and
knocked in 14 runs while com-
mitting just four errors in 24
games.
DIVISIONAL CHANGES
The WVC will maintain its
three-division format, but under
new names and with a few mi-
nor tweaks. Heres how theyll
look:.
Division 1: This is essentially
the old Division 1 East, with
holdovers Coughlin, Crestwood,
Hazleton Area, Nanticoke and
Pittston Area joined by new-
comer Wyoming Valley West.
Holy Redeemer is no longer part
of the division.
Although Valley West has
struggled recently 7-35 in the
last three seasons the Spartans
will be playing more schools
similar in enrollment.
Division teams play each oth-
er twice and Division 2 teams
once for a 15-game schedule.
Crestwood, Hazleton Area
and Nanticoke are expected to
battle for the divisional title.
Division 2: Basically the for-
mer Division 1 West. Berwick,
Dallas, Tunkhannock and Wyo-
ming Area are back, while Valley
West has departed. Lake-Lehm-
an moves from the old Division
2 to the newDivision 2 to ll the
void.
Lehman has been solid in
recent seasons and should be
a capable opponent. Plus, the
Black Knights get to play Back
Mountain rival Dallas twice.
They havent faced each other in
the regular season in quite some
time.
Teams will play a 14-game
schedule, facing each divisional
opponent twice and Division 1
teams once.
Berwick and Wyoming Area
appear to be the frontrunners,
but this will be an ultra-compet-
itive division.
Division 3: Former Division
2 foes make up the bulk of the
division GAR, Hanover Area,
Meyers, MMI Prep, Northwest
and Wyoming Seminary. Holy
Redeemer joins the grouping.
There are only four schools
with smaller enrollments in the
WVC, so Redeemer probably
ts this division better than be-
ing lumped in with the bigger
schools. The Royals also made
a nice albeit unexpected run
in the District 2 Class 3A play-
offs last year, so they should fare
well this season.
Teams play home-and-away
series for a 12-game regular sea-
son.
Hanover Area and Northwest
nished one-two last year, but
have holes to ll. Nonetheless,
they and Redeemer look like the
main contenders.
DISTRICT CHANGES
Seven teams have changed
PIAAclassications for the 2013
and 2014 seasons. Class 4A will
have six teams (including Dis-
trict 4 Williamsport), down
from seven. Class 3A goes from
14 to 15 teams. Class 2A jumps
from 14 to 16, while Class A
shrinks from eight to six.
Teams changing classes are:
Abington Heights (4A to 3A);
Holy Redeemer (3A to 2A);
Lackawanna Trail (2A to A);
Lake-Lehman (2Ato 3A), Moun-
tain View (A to 2A); Northwest
(A to 2A); and Wyoming Semi-
nary (A to 2A).

Kentucky just too much for Delle Donne, Delaware
The Associated Pres
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. The
Kentucky Wildcats and their
40 minutes of dread were too
much for Elena Delle Donne
and Delaware.
Jennifer ONeill scored 19
points and Adia Mathies added
16 to help Kentucky hold off
the Blue Hens 69-62 on Satur-
day in the Bridgeport regional
seminals, bringing to an
end the stellar career of Delle
Donne.
Its the second straight sea-
son that Kentucky (30-5) has
advanced to the regional nal.
The Wildcats, who already have
a school record for victories,
lost to Connecticut last season
by 15 points.
Delle Donne had 33 points
for Delaware (32-4) and
nished her career as the fth
all-time leading scorer in NCAA
history with 3,039 points. She
passed former stars Cheryl
Miller, Chamique Holdsclaw
and Maya Moore on Saturday.
She nished well short of
Jackie Stiles all-time scoring
mark of 3,393 set at Southwest
Missouri State from 1998-2001.
Theres little doubt that Delle
Donne would have broken it
had she not missed 22 games
in her career. The 6-foot-5 star
who is averaging 26.6 points
in her career sat out six games
this season with a reoccur-
rence of the symptoms of Lyme
disease that forced her to miss
a dozen games two years ago.
She did all she could to take
Delaware to the regional nal.
Trailing by 14 early in the
second half, the Blue Hens cut
their decit to 62-60 with 2:47
left on a jumper by Delle Donne
that touched nearly every part
of the rim before dropping
in. That shot moved her past
Moore and sent the sellout
crowd into a frenzy.
But Kastine Evans calmly re-
sponded with a 3-pointer from
the top of the key to make it
65-60. Jaquetta May had three
chances at putbacks on the
other end, but couldnt convert.
Delle Donne exited with 10
seconds left and had a long em-
brace with coach Tina Martin.
The second-seeded Wildcats
will play the winner of Connect-
icut and Maryland on Monday
with a trip to New Orleans and
the Final Four on the line.
Delle Donne had little help
in the rst half as her team-
mates struggled from the eld.
The senior forward did pretty
much everything she could to
help keep the Blue Hens in the
game. She scored 13 straight
points as Delaware only trailed
17-15 midway through the rst
half. Then Kentucky took over
scoring the next 10 points. Bria
Goss got the run started with
a jumper and capped it with a
layup that made it 27-17.
The teams then traded
baskets the rest of the half with
ONeill hitting a 3-pointer just
before the halftime buzzer to
make it 41-27.
It was the third straight
NCAA game that the Blue
Hens trailed at the half. They
were able to rally against West
Virginia and North Carolina at
home and tried their best to
pull off another, but the Blue
Hens fell just short.
UConn 76, Maryland 50
BRIDGEPORT, Conn.
Breanna Stewart and Kaleena
Mosqueda-Lewis each scored
17 points, leading top-seeded
Connecticut over Maryland
in the Bridgeport regional
seminals.
Stewart got help from fellow
freshmen Moriah Jefferson, 10
points, and Morgan Tuck, eight
points, in sending the top-seed-
ed Huskies (32-4) to their eighth
straight NCAA regional nal.
Alyssa Thomas, who had
averaged 28.5 points in the
tournament, had 13 to lead
Maryland, which nished its
season at 26-8. Tianna Hawkins
and Chloe Pavlech each had 11
points for the Terps.
UConn led 35-26 at halftime,
then opened the second half on
a 9-0 run.

Pittsburgh Penguins center Sidney Crosby is helped by referee Ian Walsh after being hit in the face with a puck during the rst
period of an NHL game against the New York Islanders in Pittsburgh on Saturday.
Penguins win 15th straight; Crosby hurt
PITTSBURGH The Pittsburgh Pen-
guins overcame a bloody injury to Sidney
Crosby on Saturday for their 15th straight
victory, beating the New York Islanders 2-0
in Jarome Iginlas debut behind third-peri-
od goals from Matt Cooke and James Neal.
Tomas Vokoun made 35 saves as Pitts-
burgh moved within two wins of the NHL
record of 17 straight victories set by Mario
Lemieux and the 1992-93 Penguins.
Crosby skated off the ice with a towel
covering his mouth after a slap shot by
teammate Brooks Orpik deected off a
stick and hit the NHL scoring leader in the
face. Crosby, who immediately fell to the
ice and tossed his stick in the air, did not
return.
Crosby, with 15 goals and 56 points,
holds a 10-point lead over Tampa Bays
Steven Stamkos in the NHL scoring race.
Another head injury for Crosby has to
concern the Penguins. The team captain
has missed considerable time the past two
years because concussions. He was side-
lined the nal 41 games in 2011 and the
Stanley Cup nals, and skipped most of the
2012 regular season as symptoms lingered.
Pittsburgh went 15-0-0 in March, the
rst perfect month in league history. The
Penguins also won a franchise best 12th
straight at home.
Hurricanes 3, Jets 1
WINNIPEG, Manitoba Justin Peters
made 34 saves to help Carolina keep its
playoff hopes alive with a victory over
Southeast Division-leading Winnipeg.

snapped a seven-game winless streak to
improve to 16-15-2 and move within four
points of the Jets.
Olli Jokinen scored for Winnipeg. The
Jets dropped to 18-16-2.

right side and knocked in Greg Zanons
rebound past Rinne.
Flyers 3, Bruins 1
PHILADELPHIA Mike Knuble and
Matt Read scored, Ilya Bryzgalov made 33
saves and Philadelphia snapped a four-
game losing streak with a victory over

Ruslan Fedotenko added an empty-net
goal for the Flyers, who began the day 14th
in the Eastern Conference but only six
points out of the eighth and nal playoff
spot. Boston, meanwhile, entered with the
third-most points in the conference (46).
Leafs 4, Senators 0
OTTAWA Nazem Kadri had a hat
trick and James Reimer made 31 saves
and the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the
Ottawa Senators.
Joffrey Lupul also scored and added
three assists for the Leafs, while Kadri

its third straight game extended its point
streak to eight games.
Canadiens 3, Rangers 0
MONTREAL Michael Ryder and
Tomas Plekanec scored in the rst period
and Carey Price made 34 saves and the
Montreal Canadiens shut out the New York

Cink, Haas
share lead
in Houston
By The Associated Press
HUMBLE, Texas Even
as the clouds rolled in at the
Houston Open, Stewart Cink
started to see some light in
his game.
Cink saved par from the
bunker on the 18th hole Sat-
urday at Redstone Golf Club
for a 4-under 68, giving him
a share of the lead with Bill
Haas going into the nal
round. Cink is winless in 81
starts since the 2009 British
Open. This is his rst time
with at least a share of the
third-round lead in nearly ve
years.
And it doesnt gure to be
easy.
One week after he shared
the 36-hole lead at Bay Hill,
Haas made seven birdies over
his last 13 holes for a 67 and
was tied with Cink at 11-un-
der 205.
Sunday suddenly became
loaded with possibilities that
might even feature Phil Mick-
elson.
Twenty players were within
four shots. Only three of them
Dustin Johnson, Keegan
Bradley and John Merrick
have won on the PGA Tour in
the last year. And 12 of them
can earn a trip to the Masters
by winning.
Steve Wheatcroft, the jour-
neyman who only got into
this tournament through a
Monday qualier, got off to
a good start and fell back
with an embarrassing nish.
Wheatcroft was tied for the
lead when he shanked a shot
from the greenside bunker on
the 18th, the ball coming out
at a 45-degree angle, over the
green and almost into the gal-
lery. He made a 15-foot putt to
salvage bogey for a 72. Wheat-
croft still was only one shot
out of the lead, along with
Ben Crane (67), D.A. Points
(71) and Jason Kokrak (71).
Nine players were only two
shots behind, a group that in-
cluded former British Open
champion Louis Oosthuizen
(65), former world No. 1 Lee
Westwood (67), former PGA
champion Keegan Bradley
(67) two-time major cham-
pion Angel Cabrera (69) and
Henrik Stenson (68), who is
one round away from play-
ing his way into the Masters
through being top 50 in the
world.

What can $1
buy? Possibly a
shing license
W
ould you buy a shing license
if it only cost $1?
Sure you would.
How about if that same license was
$1 and voluntary? Would you still hand
over a dollar for a license even if you
werent required to possess one to sh?
Thats a question that the states
youth may be faced with as the Pennsyl-
vania Fish and Boat Commission look
for ways to increase revenue without
raising license fees.
During a public forum with the PFBC
last week at Luzerne County Communi-
ty College (hosted by state Rep. Gerald
Mullerys ofce), commissioner Norm
Gavlick, who represents the Northeast
Region, was questioned about talk that
the agency may close two hatcheries
and reduce the number of trout stocked
by about 750,000 (the hatcheries have
since been granted a reprieve).
It was a concern to anglers in at-
tendance. Some even suggested that the
agency raise license fees and seemed
very willing to pay a little more if it
meant preventing a cut in trout produc-
tion. I wasnt surprised. Just as deer
hunting drives the Pennsylvania Game
Commission, trout shing is just as big
to the PFBC, and anglers.
But Gavlick cautioned that a license
fee hike usually results in a drop in
anglers - 10 percent the following year.
With fewer licenses being sold, the
PFBC would receive less reimburse-
ment from the federal government.
We dont want to raise license fees,
he said. There are possible changes
being looked at now.
One of them, according to Gavlick, is
the implementation of a youth shing
license for those under 16. The param-
eters have yet to be dened and talk is
preliminary, but the goal is to sell more
licenses - without raising fees, and real-
ize more federal reimbursement.
Gavlick acknowledged that elected
ofcials have voiced their opposition to
a youth license in the past, but theres a
twist that could now change opinions.
Rather than make a youth license
mandatory, the permit could be volun-
tary, Gavlick said. And it could carry
a nominal fee - say a dollar, so cost
wouldnt be an issue.
But why would someone spend
even a buck on something they arent
required to have in order to sh?
Because it would help the agency and,
in the bigger picture, shing in general.
The agencys federal reimbursement is
based on the number of licenses sold.
A voluntary youth license for a dollar
would count.
And kids would want it. Every child
wants to feel grown up like their par-
ents, and buying their very own shing
license would make them feel just
like mom or dad as they head out to a
favorite trout stream or lake. A parent
could start a tradition of buying their
child a youth license every year, without
breaking the bank, and the agency
would get some much needed revenue
in the form of the federal reimburse-
ment.
Not bad for a buck.
Hatcheries to stay open for now
During a special meeting on March
22, the PFBC board voted to keep the
Oswayo and Bellefonte hatcheries open
for at least two more years while the
agency and the state legislature look for
a long-term funding source. The PFBC
announced on Jan. 25 that it would
close the Oswayo and Bellefonte hatch-
eries by the end of 2014 as part of a bud-
get plan to save $9 million annually over
the next four years. Approximately $6.7
million is needed in order to meet esca-
lating health-care and retirement obliga-
tions for employees, and $2.3 million is
needed for infrastructure needs, such as
maintenance and repairs, at remaining
hatcheries, other facilities and boating
access areas. Closing the two hatcheries
would save approximately $2 million
annually. PFBC staff and commissioner
have already met with some legislators
to identify possible funding sources.
Joe Petcavages trail camera has been working overtime throughout the year.
All of these pictures were taken in Tuscarora Township in Bradford County and
are reminders of the winter behind us and the spring weather we are lookng
forward to. A doe stands in the cold, bleak winter landscape last December while
a deer shares a patch of fall grass with a small ock of turkeys. As the weather
warms, we can expect to see plenty of fawns - like the two in the photo, and later
bucks sporting velvet-covered antlers. Petcavages photos are proof that we have
plenty to look forward to this spring.

Gated for their protection
PgC will install a gate on an
abandoned train tunnel to
protect the bats living inside.
Standing before the entrance
to an ancient train tunnel more
than a mile back on State Game
Lands 207 in Rice Township,
Pennsylvania Game Commission
biologist Greg Turner reected
on the need for a project to pro-
tect the bats inside when proof
ew right by.
A small-footed bat uttered
across the tunnels entrance and
into the surrounding woods. It
was a good sign that the aban-
doned tunnel, which extends
for more than a mile, is being
utilized by bats. Thats why the
Pennsylvania Game Commission
is planning on installing a gate at
the entrance to the tunnel to lim-
it access to humans but allowthe
bats to y back and forth freely.
The agency hopes to have the
project completed by October.
Game Commission biologist
Kevin Wenner said after the gate
is installed the area in front will
be back-lled to limit the amount
of cold air exiting the tunnel.
We need to catch that cold air
and keep it because its too warm
in there now, Wenner said. You
want something in the 50 degree
range for bats, and right now
were not achieving that.
The PGC has installed gates
at other areas throughout the
state, and Turner said they typi-
cally result in an increase in bat
numbers because the distur-
bance from humans is reduced.
He predicted the tunnel on SGL
207 will see an increase not only
in the overall number of bats, but
possibly the amount of species
as well.
In the back its a little more
warmer, and pipistrelles like it
warmer and humid. Up front you
have a lot of air ow, and there
you can have big browns and
small-footed bats because they
can tolerate that change, Turn-
er said. Theres water further
back, and thats where you may
have Indiana, little brown and
long-eared bats.
There are multiple tempera-
ture ranges in this tunnel, which
is good.
The variety of temperatures is
important for hibernating bats.
In a colder environment bats are
less prone to arouse out of hiber-
nation, Turner said, reducing the
amount of energy expended. As
their body fat is used during hi-
bernation, bats will move toward
colder areas to reduce winter
arousals.
The key, however, is minimiz-
ing disturbance inside. Thats
especially crucial today as bats
are dying off at an alarming rate
due to white nose syndrome - a
disease which causes the small
mammals to awaken during win-
ter hibernation and perish.
If you minimize the distur-
bance in the winter, youre in-
creasing the chance that theyll
survive, Turner said, adding
there are some bats in the tunnel
that are surviving the disease.
Once you have sites like this
gated, we see bats from all over
the area ock to this location.

Disease has caused serious decline of bats
By TOMVENESKY
While the small-footed bat that ew
out of the tunnel on State Game Lands
207 was a good sign, Pennsylvania
Game Commission biologist Greg
Turner said the sighting was bitter-
sweet.
The fact that the bat was active
in March during the daylight hours
and went right to water to drink was
evidence that it is infected with white-
nose syndrome. Turner said just about
every bat in the state is infected to
varying degrees, and the devastation
with some species is signicant.
Just the fact that this bat made it
through the winter doesnt mean it
will live, he said. Weve seen an over-
all decline of 98 percent of all bats.
With the little brown bat, theres been
a 99.5 percent decline.
There is hope, albeit slight. In an
old mine in Glen Lyon, Turner said,
there are still 1,000 to 2,000 little
brown bats. If the young survive the
winter without becoming infected
with white-nose syndrome, there will
be recovery.
If not, then the future is bleak for
that species.
We need to do everything we can to
protect these last few survivors. It will
take years to determine if the juveniles
are surviving, so we cant just sit back
and wait, Turner said. Were trying
to do something to prevent bats from
becoming extirpated in this state.
Turner is hopeful that bats will be
listed as endangered in the state, a
designation that will grant additional
protection to the areas they inhabit.
There have been objections from the
timber industry and others about the
idea, but Turner is optimistic a com-
promise can be reached.
Were trying to protect what is left
and start the recovery process, he
said. A state listing opens up the door
for funds so we can do that.

Greg Turner said there are 2,500 natural caves in the state, and 10 to 15 percent
need to have restricted access in order to protect bats. In addition to white-nose
syndrome, Turner said bats face other threats, including:
Wind turbines Were looking at a lot of wind turbines in the region, and an average
of 25 bats are killed by each turbine per year. Add up the number of turbines, and
thats a lot of bats dying each year, Turner said.

at the prospect of seeing Matt Cain
and the pitching-rich Giants if a playoff
spot is at stake.
Add up the scattered AL vs. NL
matchups, its like a mini-World Series
most every day.
Its going to be totally different,
said Houston manager Bo Porter, one
of six new skippers in the majors.
Might as well blame Porters Astros,
too. Their shift from the NL Central
to the AL West left 15 teams in each
league, creating all this havoc.
Opening day is March 31 in Houston
when Texas comes to town for a Sun-
day night start.
Thats followed by Angels-Reds on
April 1. A few days later, Philadelphia
plays its home opener against the
Kansas City Royals.
Just sounds jarring, doesnt it?
It is very strange, Cincinnati man-
ager Dusty Baker said. This usually
doesnt happen until June or July.
What it does is it increases your
workload on scouting, advance reports
and things like that. You dont have a
lot of familiarity on those teams, he
said.
Part of baseballs changing land-
scape, Commissioner Bud Selig says.
Im very protective of interleague
play, but everybody convinced me it
that would work fromDay One, and Im
satised it will, he said.
We have to quit worrying about it.
We play 162 games. The season is a
long journey. Its not a sprint. When
the year is over, everybody has played
everybody else. When you play it is no
reason not to do something, he said.
As the season approached, a lot of
big names settled into new settings.
Hamilton left Texas for the Angels,
teaming with Albert Pujols and Mike
Trout in a most fearsome lineup. Zack
Greinke got $147 million to pitch for
the Los Angeles Dodgers. Brothers Jus-
tin and B.J Upton wound up together
in Atlantas outeld. Kyle Lohse signed
with Milwaukee a week before the
opener.
The Toronto Blue Jays, out of the
postseason since winning their second
straight title in 1993, made the boldest
moves. They traded for reigning Cy
Young winner R.A. Dickey, Jose Reyes,
Josh Johnson and Mark Buehrle and
signed Melky Cabrera.
Talent alone doesnt win, Blue Jays
manager John Gibbons cautioned.
Especially if stars are sidelined.
New Mets captain David Wright,
Hanley Ramirez and Mark Teixeira
got hurt at the World Baseball Classic.
Jeter, Curtis Granderson, Chase Head-
ley and David Freese are out for open-
ing day, the futures of Alex Rodriguez
and Johan Santana are in doubt.
Several top players are on the mend,
though.
All-time saves leader Mariano Rivera
begins his farewell tour after missing
most of last year with a knee injury.
John Lackey and Victor Martinez were
absent for the entire season and Jose
Bautista, Troy Tulowitzki and Carl
Crawford nished on the DL.
Stephen Strasburg wasnt active
at the end, either. The Washington
Nationals shut down their ace so he
wouldnt pitch too many innings, and
zzled in their rst playoff appearance.
No limits on Strasburg or the Nats
this time around.
Im excited. I think everybody in
the baseball world, not just us, is really
excited to see him all year, 20-year-old
Washington star Bryce Harper said.
Fans in Detroit, San Francisco and
St. Louis can count on seeing familiar
faces for a while. As a long, long spring
training wound down, Tigers ace Justin
Verlander, Giants MVP Buster Posey
and St. Louis star Adam Wainwright
signed long-term deals.
In the meantime, teams are guring
out how to prepare for this funny sea-
son. Previously, Porter said, it was easy
to plan for blocks of interleague games.
A lot of times, a National League
team would call up a DH-type guy dur-
ing that segment of their schedule, he
said. Now, thats hard to do because
youre going to have interleague taking
place the entire course of the season. It
denitely changes roster construction.
Porter already has his pitchers in the
cage, working on their bunting. Too
soon for Verlander and the Tigers staff
to swing away.
Well have to hit some, but its a
Catch-22 because I dont want Verland-
er breaking his nger, Detroit manag-
er Jim Leyland said.
As for his AL Central champions
closing on the road against the Mar-
lins, whatever is good for baseball,
the 68-year-old Leyland said.
We have a designated hitter in the
All-Star game, instant replay. Things
change and if it is good for the game, I
am all for it, he said.
The Tigers, Boston, Toronto and
Seattle each play at NL parks in Sep-
tember, leaving them a hitter short.
For that reason, Leyland suggests inter-
league games down the stretch should
he played at AL parks.
Its denitely an advantage for the
National League, Leyland said. It
works out more advantageous to them.
I think eventually theyll go uniform.
Adds Rays manager Joe Maddon:
Its going to be clunky at the end.
Baltimore doesnt play its rst NL
road games until Memorial Day, but
has eight straight out West in August.
Orioles catcher Matt Wieters gures
hell spend more time going over
scouting reports on new hitters we
havent seen.
St. Louis doesnt see an AL opponent
until it plays Kansas City in late May.
But the Royals go to Philadelphia and
Atlanta in the rst 2 weeks.
When interleague play started in
1997, Cardinals pitcher Jake West-
brook said, it was something new and
it seemed odd to a lot of people. The
DH, same thing with that longer ago.
The idea of interleague play most
every day, this is something else new.
Thats always been a question with in-
terleague play its unbalanced, who
plays who, he said.
Baker is hoping for an early edge
when Pujols arrives.
In the case of us playing the Angels,
does Albert not play? Does he DH? I
wouldnt mind if Albert just spectated,
he said. Hed be a mean pinch hitter.
Hes probably greasing his glove right
now.
Later that week, Phillies great Mike
Schmidt will test his arm. He was the
MVP of the 1980 World Series when
Philadelphia beat George Brett and the
Royals the Hall of Famers are set to
throw out the rst balls when Kansas
City visits Citizens Bank Park for the
rst time since 2004.
Playing your home opener against
an AL team is weird, Schmidt said.
Wheres the charm in that?
Also this season:
Along with Porter and Gibbons,
the new managers are Terry Francona
in Cleveland, John Farrell in Boston,
Mike Redmond in Miami and Walt
Weiss in Colorado.
Major League Baseball didnt ex-
pand replay this year. Tags, plays at
rst base, traps no consensus yet on
what to review or how to do it.
The Mets host the All-Star game at
Citi Field on July 16. Its been a while
since the showcase was held in Queens
Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays got
top billing at Shea Stadium in 1964.
Former MVPs Miguel Tejada (Roy-
als) and Jason Giambi (Indians) earned
spots this season. Tejada was out of the
majors last year.
INTRIGUE

Philadelphia Phillies rst baseman
Ryan Howard says people writing the
Phillies off this season as too old are
in for a surprise.
PHILADELPHIA For a team that
nished 17 games out of rst place, the
Philadelphia Phillies are quite condent
they can regain the NL East crown they
relinquished to Washington after a ve-
year run.
The Nationals had a great year last
year, but we had a lot of injuries, slug-
ger Ryan Howard said. Call us old if
you want to. If you want to sweep us
under the rug, just dont be surprised.
The Phillies streak of ve consecu-
tive division titles ended in 2012 with
an 81-81 nish. Injuries were a major
factor for the decline. Howard and
Chase Utley, the teams Nos. 3-4 hitters,
combined to miss 160 games to start
the season. Ace Roy Halladay was out
for a two-month stretch in the middle.
While the facts say the Phillies are
trending downward theyve taken
one step back each season since win-
ning the 2008 World Series players
insist they have plenty left to contend
now that theyre healthy.
Were a complete team now, former
NL MVP Jimmy Rollins said. Were not
going out there with role players. Were
going out there with everyday players,
every game.
Rollins makes a valid point. After
Howard and Utley both returned, the
Phillies went 44-34. They even made a
late run toward a playoff berth, pulling
within three games of the second wild-
card spot with 11 games left before n-
ishing 4-7.
Howard had an
excellent spring
and seems fully re-
covered from his
Achilles injury. Ut-
ley, who has battled
chronic knee prob-
lems, played exhi-
bition games for
the rst time since
2010 and will start
the season in the
lineup instead of on
the disabled list.
Halladay hasnt
been the same dom-
inant pitcher he was
for a long stretch,
but the Phillies still
have a pair of aces
in Cole Hamels and
Cliff Lee.
Were very close
to being a championship team, but
when the time comes and we have to
step between the lines, we have to play
the best baseball we can for 173 games,
Hamels said, adding an 11-win postsea-
son run in his calculations.
We have to look at it that way. If we
dont take that approach then were sell-
ing ourselves short. Thats the attitude
were giving and you can feel it in the
clubhouse and I can see the work ethic
that we have with the type of players
that we have, he said.
General manager Ruben Amaro Jr.
didnt make a big splash in the offsea-
son for change. Still, he lled important
holes with talented players. Seven-time
All-Star Michael Young was acquired
from Texas to play third base. Center
elder Ben Revere came over from Min-
nesota in a trade. Right elder Delmon
Young, setup man Mike Adams and
starter John Lannan were free-agent
signings.
Manager Charlie Manuel raved about
the new guys in the spring.
Michael Young is going to be a real
good player for us, Manuel said. Not
only is he going to hit, hes going to
hit for a high average and hes going
to show some power in the National
League.

Gonzalez, Orioles hold
Mets to 1 hit in 7-1 win
SARASOTA, Fla. Nate McLouth
hit two home runs and the Baltimore
Orioles concluded their spring train-
ing schedule by holding the New
York Mets to one hit in a 7-1 victory
Saturday.
Miguel Gonzalez, the No. 3 starter
for Baltimore, gave up a leadoff single
in the fth to Marlon Byrd, who scored
on Ruben Tejadas sacrice y. Gonza-
lez struck out four and walked one in
ve innings.
McLouth hit leadoff homers in the
third and fth. The rst one came
against Dillon Gee, slated to start the
third game of the season for the Mets
against San Diego. The second one
was off Jeremy Hafner, lined up to
start the fourth game.
Hafner gave up two more home
runs, to Chris Davis and Steve Pearce.
The right-hander left his previous
outing Tuesday against St. Louis when
he was hit on his pitching elbow by
Carlos Beltrans one-hopper.
Blue Jays 10, Phillies 4
PHILADELPHIA Jose Bautista
hit his sixth home run this spring and
the Toronto Blue Jays rode their high-
powered offense to a victory over the
Philadelphia Phillies.
Playing a lineup of regulars in their
exhibition nale, the Blue Jays jumped
on Philadelphia starter Kyle Kendrick
right away. Bautista took the right-
hander deep with two outs in the rst
inning, and Toronto scored four times
in the third highlighted by doubles
from Jose Reyes and Edwin Encarna-
cion.
Tigers 3, Rays 3
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. Doug
Fister gave up two runs and seven hits
over six innings for the Detroit Tigers
in a tie with the Tampa Bay Rays in
the exhibition nale for both teams.
Fister, scheduled to pitch the Tigers
home opener Friday against the New
York Yankees, had four strikeouts.
Brayan Pena hit a two-run homer in
the fth off reliever Jamey Wright.
Matt Moore allowed one hit, one
walk and struck out ve in four score-
less innings for the Rays. James Loney
connected in the fth inning and Ryan
Roberts in the sixth against Fister.
Red Sox 4, Twins 2
FORT MYERS, Fla. Felix
Doubront pitched six-hit ball for ve
scoreless innings, and the Boston Red
Sox beat the Minnesota Twins in the
spring training nale for both teams.
The left-hander walked one, hit a
batter and struck out six.
Twins right-hander Mike Pelfrey
gave up four runs and nine hits in 3 2-3
innings.
The Red Sox got a run in the rst
when Jacoby Ellsbury led off with a
single, took second on Dustin Pe-
droias groundout and scored on Mike
Napolis single.
Yankees 10, Army 0
WEST POINT, N.Y. Brennan
Boesch and Melky Mesa hit home runs
and the New York Yankees closed their
preseason with a victory over Army in
the revival of an old tradition.
The Yankees improved to 22-0
against the Black Knights in a series
that dates to 1927, when Babe Ruth
led Murderers Row to West Point.
Before the game, the team took
a tour of the campus, making stops
at the Hall of Fame, Cadet Chapel,
Michie Stadium, and Trophy Point
before eating lunch in the mess hall.
General manager Brian Cashman
said the roster was complete for Mon-
days home opener against the Boston
Red Sox. He said he still had to make
room for Lyle Overbay, and that had to
be done by 3 p.m. EDT Sunday.
It was difcult to gure out who was
more impressed the Yankees or the
Black Knights on a picture-perfect
day. An overow crowd of over 6,000
attended.
The teams hadnt played since 1976.
Curve 8, Pirates 6
ALTOONA James McDonald was
tagged for four runs and three hits in
the rst inning, and the Pittsburgh
Pirates lost to their Double-A Altoona
afliate in their nal exhibition game.
Starling Marte hit a grand slam in
the second that tied the score at 4.
Russell Martin also had two hits for
Pittsburgh.
Rangers 5, Padres 2
SAN ANTONIO Someone nally
took advantage of the short right-eld
wall at the Alamodome when Leury
Garcia lined a three-run homer over
the 285-foot sign to lead the Texas
Rangers past the San Diego Padres.
The Rangers swept both games
played in the Alamodome, which is
designed primarily for football and
special events such as the NCAA Final
Four but had not hosted baseball until
this weekend.
Astros 6, Cubs 3
HOUSTON Houstons prospects
got the best of the Chicago Cubs.
Playing a lineup of mostly minor
leaguers in their last exhibition game,
the Astros beat the Cubs 6-3. The
Cubs began the game with most of
their regular starters.
Houston right elder Domingo San-
tana was a home run shy of the cycle
and drove in two runs.
Brewers 5, White Sox 4
MILWAUKEE Rickie Weeks hit
a two-run homer in the rst inning
and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the
Chicago White Sox in the nal spring
training game for both teams.
White Sox starter Dylan Axelrod
came on in relief and threw 5 1-3
scoreless innings before tiring in the
eighth. Axelrod, scheduled to start
Friday against Seattle, was pulled after
RBI doubles by Jonathan Lucroy and
Sean Halton.
Indians 9, Reds (ss) 1
GOODYEAR, Ariz. Carlos Santa-
na homered and doubled off Cincinna-
ti starter Armando Galarraga, leading
the Cleveland Indians to a victory over
a Reds split squad in the nal spring
training game for both teams.
Santana hit his second home run of
the spring in the fourth, a solo shot.
Mark Reynolds, a free agent signed to
DH, walked and scored on a single by
Matt Carson. Carson hit his fth home
run of the spring with a runner on in
the fth inning.
Braves 10, Future Stars 0

Future Stars in an exhibition game at
Trustmark Park.
Mariners 4, Rockies 3
SALT LAKE CITY Kendrys Mo-
rales and Justin Smoak homered and
the Seattle Mariners beat the Colorado
Rockies in their nal spring tuneup
Morales ripped a fastball over the
left center fence in the top of the
fourth inning and Smoak went deep
in the fth to help the Mariners nish
with the best spring training record in
team history at 22-11.
Athletics 4, Giants 3
OAKLAND, Calif. Yoenis Ces-
pedes hit a three-run home run and
the Oakland Athletics held on to beat
the San Francisco Giants in the nal
tuneup for both teams.
Coco Crisp added two hits and
scored twice, and Dan Straily pitched
ve scoreless innings for his rst win
since early in spring training.
Reds (ss) 9, Diamondbacks 0
PHOENIX Homer Bailey threw
six innings of one-hit ball and a Cincin-
nati Reds split squad beat the Arizona
Diamondbacks.
Bailey struck out seven, walked one
and retired his nal 10 hitters. Cliff
Penningtons one-out single in the
third was the only hit against the right-

AfTeR My recent
story about the cost
of nursing homes,
many readers wanted
to know what I
thought about buying
long-term care insur-
ance.
Its not an easy question to answer,
but one things for sure: everyone will
have to confront how to pay for their
care when they get old and frail.
Generally, Medicare doesnt pay for
long-term care. Medicare only pays
for skilled nursing facilities or home
health care when your stay is medi-
cally necessary. And you must meet
strict conditions for Medicare to pay
for these types of care.
Before deciding whether to buy a
long-term care insurance policy, look
at your familys health history, your
age, your health status, overall retire-
ment goals, income and assets.
Do you have a family tendency
toward heart disease, cancer, stroke,
diabetes, high blood pressure or de-
mentia? said Tom Murphy, a certied
nancial planner at Murphy & Sylvest
llC in Dallas. If so, does that family
tendency historically result in the
need for either care in the home or
moving to a care facility?
If care is needed, do you have
enough money to pay the additional
expenses? If youre married, do you
have enough to pay them while allow-
ing your spouse to maintain his or her
standard of living?
Generally, for the poor or the folks
on the lower end of the spectrum, (a
long-term care policy) may not make
sense because Medicaid provides
coverage for nursing homes, said
Stephen Keller, manager of compensa-
tion and benets at Grant Thornton
llp. for wealthy folks say, with
$5 million or over of investable assets
they can self-fund this without any
problem, but you do need liquid as-
sets for that.
Its consumers in the middle who
may benet from long-term care insur-
ance, he said.
In that middle band, which is a
wide swath of the population, (insur-
ance companies) can make a strong
case that this makes sense, Keller
said.
long-term care insurance isnt
cheap, though, and costs are rising.
A 55-year-old single individual
purchasing long-term care insur-
ance can expect to pay an average of
$2,065 a year for $162,000 of current
benefits, which will grow to roughly
$330,000 of coverage at age 80,
according to the American Associa-
tion for long-Term Care Insurance,
which represents insurance com-
panies. Thats up 20 percent from
2012.
persistent low interest rates and
yields on xed-income investments
continue to push costs for various
insurance products higher, said Jesse
Slome, the associations executive
director.
Weigh what the costs of a policy
would cost you in other parts of your
life.
If the long-term care insurance pre-
mium itself is so high as to cause you
to be unable to pay for food, medicine
or other essential items, then you can-
not afford the policy and should plan
to qualify for Medicaid in the event of
a long-term care need, Murphy said.
If you can afford to pay the premium
and still maintain your desired stan-
dard of living, then purchasing the
policy is most likely a good idea.
you age is a factor at the time of
purchase.
If youre over 60, its going to be
a lot more expensive and harder to
qualify for a policy, particularly if
there are any chronic conditions,
said Mandy Walker, a senior editor at
Consumer Reports magazine.
financing your long-term care
should be well thought-out and dis-
cussed with your family.

Is long-term
care insurance
the right choice
for you?
Women
leading
the way
By STuARTPfEifER
Los Angeles Times
Women make better corporate
leaders thanmenbecause theyare
more likely to make fair decisions
when competing interests are at
stake, a newstudy has found.
The study, published this week
in the International Journal of
Business Governance and eth-
ics, was based on a survey of 600
board directors.
Women in leadership positions
are more likely than men to con-
sider competing interests and
take a cooperative approach when
making decisions, according to
the study, conducted by research-
ers at A.T. Still university in Ari-
zona and McMaster university in
Canada.
Weve known for some time
that companies that have more
women on their boards have bet-
ter results, said Chris Bart, a pro-
fessor of strategic management at
McMasters DeGroote School of
Business. our ndings showthat
having women on the board is no
longer just the right thing, but
also the smart thing to do. Com-
panies with few female directors
may actually be shortchanging
their investors.
Maledirectors, whomadeup75
percent of the survey sample, pre-
fer making decisions using rules,
regulations and tradition, the sur-
vey found. female directors, by
contrast, are less constrained by
rules and more prepared to rock
the boat, the researchers found.
They are also more likely to use
cooperation, collaboration and
consensus-building.
Women leaders are more in-
quisitive than men and tend to
see more than one solution to a
problem. This leads to decisions
that are more likely to be in the
best interests of a company, Mc-
Queen said.
Globally, women make up
about 9 percent of corporate
board members, the study said.
The study cited research that
has found that companies with
at least one female director were
20 percent less likely to le bank-
ruptcy. And those with higher
representations of females on
their boards had better nancial
performance.
Study nds that females are
better at ruling the coporate
world

Joseph earyes, first
senior vice president of
fNCB, said a full-time
Wealth Management Ser-
vices representative will
be employed at the new
branch, that will move in to
the former Wachovia Bank
building at the north cor-
ner of public Square next
to Mimmos pizza and Res-
taurant around May 1. In
addition, a drive through
lane with pneumatic tubes
and an intercom for com-
munication with a bank
teller will be constructed
and a secure, walk-in ATM
vestibule will also be built.
While the current fNCB
location at 23 W. Market
St. is about the same size
as the new bank planned
for public Square, the lay-
out of the space makes it
more appealing for cus-
tomers and its location is
also a benefit.
Its a better facility for
customer service, earyes
said. he said there will be
customer and employee
parking in the rear of the
building near the old Mar-
tz Bus Terminal off Butler
lane and the location will
get more foot traffic and be
more accessible for many
of the downtown employ-
ers and employees.
The visibility of the
new location is also a key,
earyes said, noting that
at one point the corner of
West Market and North
W
IlKeS-BARRe Citing higher vis-
ibility and the goal of growing its
customer base, first National Com-
munity Bank will soon close its downtown Wil-
kes-Barre branch and relocate it two-tenths of a
mile up Market Street to Public Square. Instead
of following the banking industry trend of closing
branches or scaling them down and stripping out
services, the Dunmore-based community bank
will instead be adding to its offerings.

BUSINESS AGENDA
Q: What can I do about a
co-worker who has decided he
doesnt like me? For the last
two years, Matt has been dis-
dainful and dismissive whenev-
er I try to talk to him. Recently,
after I attempted to start a con-
versation, he loudly said, This
girl keeps trying to get me to
talk to her. I wish she would
just leave me alone!
Since we dont have to work
together, I took the hint and
stopped speaking to him. How-
ever, I would still like to clear
the air. I wish I could just let
this go, but it would be nice to
be able to say good morning
without worrying about Matts
bad attitude. How should I ap-
proach him?
A: Given that you have no
work-related reason for com-
municating with Matt, I think
its time you got the message.
After two years of rebufng
your attempts at friendly con-
versation, he has now explicit-
ly told you to leave him alone.
So please just do as he asks.
Since you seem to be an out-
going, sociable person, Matts
indifference undoubtedly hurts
your feelings. However, you
must try to understand that
some people simply have no
desire to engage in social chit-
chat at work. The more you try
to be chummy, the more Matt
will push you away.
If the two of you worked on
the same team or collaborated
on projects, that would be quite
different. Under those circum-
stances, learning to adapt to
each others work styles would
be extremely important. But
since you and this guy have no
occupational connection, you
might as well treat him as he
wishes to be treated.
Q: I have been a reghter

for 13 years, and I also have
ADHD. I went into reght-
ing after reading an article that
said it was a good career choice
for someone like me. Unfortu-
nately, that writer was wrong,
because I hate every aspect of
this work.
If someone gave me a choice
between a million dollars and a
new job, I would immediately
take the new job. I believe my
personality is better suited to
information technology, but
that might require going back
to school, which could be dif-
cult. Any suggestions?
A: Changing professions in
mid-career can be challeng-
ing, but if you hate this job as
much as you say, then you need
to formulate an escape plan.
Since youre certain you want
to leave, but not quite sure
where you want to go, talking
with a career counselor would
be a good rst step.
A qualied counselor can of-
fer assessments and exercises
to help identify both your oc-
cupational interests and pre-
ferred working conditions.
Although your attraction to
information technology may
be a useful clue, you should
investigate a variety of options
to avoid making another hasty
mistake.
With a major career change,
a stepping stone approach
is often advisable. To move
toward a more technological
role, for example, you might
initially transition into some
technical aspect of reghting
or re prevention. This is usu-
ally more realistic than trying
to switch elds with one big
leap.

Franklin streets where the
bank currently operates had
a bank on all four corners.
By summer, only one, PNC
Bank, will remain. Citizens
Bank closed its branch in Feb-
ruary and consolidated with its
West Side branch in Kingston.
The former Wyoming National
Bank Building has been unoc-
cupied for years.
Amy Vargo, a spokesman
for Pittsburgh-based PNC
Bank, said that bank is com-
mitted to that location for
now.
I have no information
regarding a change at the
Market Street branch in Wil-
kes-Barre, Vargo said in an
email.
Sylvia Bronner, a spokes-
woman for Citizens Bank,
based in Philadelphia, pre-
viously noted that the bank
still has branches in the
city; one a few blocks from
the downtown on East Mar-
ket Street at Market Street
Square and the other on Kid-
der Street in the East End.
Given the increasing pop-
ularity of mobile and online
banking, Bronner noted, the
bank has expanded those
services and also has made
improvements to its ATM
network and adjusted its
branch structure to better
fit the traffic patterns of our
customers.
That shift to online bank-
ing is something Earyes said
all banks are doing but its the
larger national or regional
banks that are choosing to
close branches, too. He said
smaller community banks are
doing both, opening branches
and improving online and mo-
bile banking technology.
Our online banking prod-
ucts are no different than
those offered by big banks,
said Pat Ehnot, FNCBs elec-
tronic banking operations
analyst. Using industry
standard technologies and
security certificates, with
128 bit encrypted communi-
cation, they are every bit as
powerful and safe.
With all the tools avail-
able, I think people are real-
izing its like having a bank
branch in their pocket, said
Ehnot.
Another community bank
thats bucking the national
trend of closing up brick
and mortar operations is
First Keystone Community
Bank, which is opening
new branches in Dallas and
Shickshinny this year. The
Berwick-based bank sees a
need and a customer base in
Luzerne County that it can
serve.
That customer base in-
cludes big depository num-
bers, which Earyes called
substantial.
Though FNCB is based
in Dunmore, Lackawanna
County, 10 of its 21 branch-
es are in Luzerne County.
Seven are in Lackawanna
and the others are located
in Monroe and Wayne coun-
ties.
In recent years the trend in
U.S. banking has been to re-
duce the number of branches
while steering customers to
online and mobile services.
Anthony Liuzzo, director
of the master of business ad-
ministration program at Wil-
kes University, said whats
going on in downtown Wil-
kes-Barre is seeing a reflec-
tion of what banks are deal-
ing with nationwide.
This is a very competitive
environment that banks are
in right now, Liuzzo said.
Were seeing the reality of
it in a microcosm here.
He said he was somewhat
surprised to see First Key-
stone building new banks
and FNCB spending the
money and going through
the regulatory rigmarole of
getting Office of the Comp-
troller for Currency approv-
al to move a branch. That
approval came Jan. 23 in
FNCBs case.
Thats counter intui-
tive at this point, Liuzzo
said, but he said the banks
have likely done their due
diligence and have data that
shows these steps are worth-
while endeavors.
They feel that if they have
the brick and mortars theyll
be able to get new business,
Liuzzo said. In Luzerne
County, with a high percent-
age of elderly residents, the
mobile and online banking
trend hasnt reached a level
of penetration it has else-
where. That means the face
to face interaction custom-
ers want with tellers or lend-
ers is imperative.
When FNCB relocates to
Public Square it will become
the second bank situated
there. Luzerne Bank, on the
southeast side of the square,
occupies the first floor of the
citys tallest building. In ad-
dition to PNC, other banks
within two blocks of the
square include M&T Bank
on West Market Street and
Honesdale National Bank on
South Franklin Street.
Robert Snyder, the presi-
dent of Luzerne Bank, said
there are no plans to move,
close or scale back opera-
tions of the downtown loca-
tion.
While he didnt welcome
FNCB with open arms, not-
ing Id like to be the only
bank in every market were
in, he said its proof of what
hes known all along. Down-
town Wilkes-Barre is a good
place to be.
He said that electronic
banking will be the future
but there is still room for
brick and mortar operations
right now.
We think its very impor-
tant to have bricks and mor-
tar to show a commitment

NEW YORK Two months
after a severe u season forced
millions of workers to stay
home, paid sick time is becom-
ing an issue for many small
business owners.
City councils in Portland,
Ore., and Philadelphia earlier
this month approved laws re-
quiring employers to give their
workers paid sick leave. And
two Democratic lawmakers in-
troduced a bill in Congress that
would make paid sick leave a
federal requirement.
Theres a great divide among
business owners over the is-
sue. On one side are opponents
who say paid sick time creates
nancial and administrative
burdens for businesses that are
struggling with a still recover-
ing economy and uncertainty
about health care costs and
federal budget cuts. Others ar-
gue that it makes for a happier
workplace and encourages em-
ployees to stay home instead of
coming to work and infecting
everyone around them.
It increases morale, it in-
creases loyalty, it provides
a much safer work environ-
ment, says Andy Shallal,
owner of Busboys and Poets,
a chain of four restaurants in
the Washington D.C., area.
He was already giving his
workers paid sick time be-
fore the Washington City
Council passed a sick leave
law in 2008. Its particularly
important in the restaurant
business that sick employees
dont come to work.
Its gross. Nobody wants to
have anyone preparing their
food when theyre sick, Shal-
lal says.
A lot of Americans get paid
sick leave, including many who
work at small businesses. A
study issued in July by the Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics found
that 66 percent of small busi-
nesses, those with up to 499
workers, provided paid sick
leave. Among companies with
fewer than 50 workers, half
provided leave. Eighty-two per-
cent of workers at companies
with 500 or more employees
have paid sick leave.
Lawmakers have been step-
ping in to get paid sick leave
extended to more workers. San
Francisco is widely believed to
be the rst major city to en-
act a paid sick leave law. The
law, which requires that sick
time be given to all workers,
took effect in 2007. Since then,
Washington, Seattle and Con-
necticut have enacted laws and
Portlands City Council passed
its bill on March 13. The laws
arent identical, but all gener-
ally provide for workers to ac-
crue sick time and to also use
it for family illnesses and some
types of emergencies.
Paid sick leave has run into
roadblocks in other cities.
Philadelphias City Council
passed its bill March 14, but
Mayor Michael Nutter vetoed a
similar bill in 2011. He hasnt
decided yet whether hell sign
the latest bill, spokesman Mark
McDonald says. In Milwaukee,
voters in 2008 approved a ref-
erendum creating a paid sick
leave ordinance, but it was nul-
lied by a subsequent state law
that banned local governments
from enacting such laws. And
in New York City, a sick leave
law has stalled in its city coun-
cil.
Any time you have a govern-
ment mandate on small busi-
nesses, that take away their
options, their exibility, says
Andy Markowski, director of
the National Federation of In-
dependent Business in Con-
necticut, where a mandatory
sick leave law took effect early
last year. With paid sick leave,
a business might not be able to
afford a benet package that
has benets that are generous.
Its too soon to tell what im-
pact the Connecticut lawis hav-
ing on businesses, Markowski
says. But he also notes that the
sick leave law is one of many
sources of uncertainty for com-
panies in the state theyve
also had to contend with state
tax increases and theyre still
waiting to see how the health
care law will affect them.
Among the consequences
cited by opponents of paid
sick time: Companies will
have to pay overtime to re-
placement workers, nan-
cially strapping businesses
that are already struggling in
an uncertain economy. The
added expense will prevent
them from expanding, or hir-
ing other workers. Keeping
track of accrued sick time will
force an owner or another em-
ployee to take time away from
other critical tasks.
Those issues are likely to
be raised in Congress, where
Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn.,
and Sen. Tom Harkin, D-
Iowa, have reintroduced the
Healthy Families Act, which
would require that workers be
allowed to earn up to seven
days of paid sick time a year.
DeLauro has introduced such
a bill in every Congress since
2004. In the last Congress,
the bill didnt make it to the
House oor.
DeLauro expects opposition
from small businesses, but
she notes that companies with
fewer than 15 employees will
be exempt.
This is not only helpful for
workers, but smart for employ-
ers, she said in an interview
with The Associated Press. It
reduces turnover, increases
productivity and prevents the
spread of illness.
Another reason why many
business owners support the
laws is they dont want people
coming into work and infecting
co-workers and customers.
Theres much more aware-
ness among employers about
public health concerns, says
Ophelia Galindo, a human re-
sources consultant with Buck
Consultants in Orange Coun-
ty, Calif. Its much better for
that sick employee to be at
home even employers that
are struggling realize thats im-
portant.
The San Francisco law has
created more paperwork for
owner Basil Enan, He esti-
mates that tracking how much
sick leave his workers accrue
takes up 10 percent of his time.
Paid sick time becomes a bigger issue for small businesses

GETTING BEAT
Trying to beat the market will
cost you. Investors typically
pay higher expenses for
actively managed stock mutual
funds, ones that try to pick
winning stocks, eschew losers
and beat the index. The
problem is that many of these
stock pickers have failed to
beat the market. Last year, 63
percent of large-cap stock
mutual funds fell short of the 16
percent return for the Standard
& Poors 500 index, according
to S&P Dow Jones Indices.
The performance was even
worse for mid-cap stock funds:
80 percent lagged the S&P
MidCap 400 index.
SIZE MATTERS
Fewer deals got done last quarter,
but the ones that did were of
much higher value. Fewer than
8,000 mergers and acquisitions
occurred globally during the
first quarter, according to
preliminary data from Dealogic.
Thats down 32 percent from a
year earlier, and its the
smallest number since the
second quarter of 2005.
But mega-deals, including the
$27.5 billion buyout of H.J. Heinz
and the $64 billion spin-off of
AbbVie from Abbott Laboratories.
The total value of all deals done
during the first quarter was $596
billion, or 2 percent higher than a
year earlier.

STILL RISING
Japanese stocks have been some of the worlds best this year, and
strategists are calling for even more gains. After years of disappointing
investors, the Nikkei 225 index jumped 20 percent in 2013 through
Tuesday, more than
double the 9.6 percent
rise for the S&P 500.
Much of the climb has
been on expectations
for more government
stimulus: The yen has
already dropped in
value, which helps
boost Japans exports.
If Japan continues to
drive down the yen,
Deutsche Bank says
the Nikkei could dou-
ble over the next four
or five years.

Title: Chief investment officer of
Huntington
What he suggests: Consider
stocks tied to agriculture
Answers edited for content and
clarity.
Randy Bateman
The world is demanding more
food by the day, as the global
population continues to swell. That
creates an investment opportunity,
says Randy Bateman. He runs
Huntingtons Situs Trust mutual
fund. It owns stakes in several
companies whose profits stand to
benefit from stronger demand for
food. The fund has a five-star rating
from Morningstar.
Why agriculture?
I like to look at things that are pretty
basic, and supply and demand goes
back to the basics of economics.
There is a dynamic change under-
way in the agriculture business, and
its got legs. We know that the world
population is growing very rapidly: In
1960, there were 3 billion people on
the planet, and that worked out to
about 12 acres per person of arable
land.
Were now closing in on 7 billion
people on the planet, and that
works out to about 1.5 acres per
person. You may say that doesnt
mathematically work out, but weve
seen an erosion in arable farm
properties over the past decades.
Every year, we see a reduction in
arable land. So theres going to be
a reduction in supply capabilities.
At the same time, were seeing an
increase in demand.
That sounds pretty dire.
We know there are going to be
technological advances, productivity
enhancements that will enable us
to meet the needs of a growing
population. But in the meantime, we
know that theres huge opportunity.
There will be more money flowing
into the agriculture and rural sectors,
and that should stimulate some
opportunities for those companies
that can parlay that into earnings
growth.
We know that our demographics
are going to be slowing, we know
that we have a large debt overhang.
One of the ways we can get through
our problems is through growth, and
I think one of the best ways we can
find that growth is through exports
Its kind of funny, if you look 20
years ago, all the emerging nations
were cutting their interest rates and
their currencies so they could sell
things overseas to the developed
nations. Now we have the exact
opposite: All the developed nations
are cutting their currencies so they
can start to export to the emerging
nations that have those favorable
demographics.
Where are the opportunities?
In looking at this agricultural sector,
were looking at farm income and
what the farmers spend money on.
One of our largest holdings is a com-
pany called Cabelas (CAB). They
sell outdoor equipment, firearms,
fishing equipment and clothing. We
also like Tractor Supply Co. (TSCO).
Theyre opening a number of new
units across the rural landscape.
Also Lindsay (LNN): The drought
we had in the Midwest the past year
stimulated a lot of demand for their
irrigation products.
And Terra Nitrogen (TNH). It has
a great dividend yield, and it makes
fertilizer that is going to be used to
try to enhance that productivity that
were going to need in order to meet
growing demand.

InsiderQ&A

A pie doesnt taste better if you cut it into smaller pieces. But you
can feed more people.
Thats the mindset corporate America could adopt if
stocks continue to climb. Investors may see the pace of
stock splits accelerate. The reason: In a rising market,
higher share prices can make stocks look less attractive.
Average investors can end up with sticker shock.
Companies split their stocks when they think their
share price has gotten too expensive or if the stock is
trading too far above similar companies stocks.
Thats the idea behind an unusual 4-for-1 stock split by
Salesforce.com. Shares of the cloud computing company set a
52-week high of $188 earlier this month. In a 4-for-1 split,
shareholders as of April 3, will receive three additional shares for
every one they own. Its the first 4-for-1 split by a company in the
Standard & Poors 500 index in nearly seven years 2-for-1 splits
are the norm.
Still, there are no guarantees of more splits. In recent years, it
has been common for companies to let their stock prices run up.
As of March 21, the number of stocks in the S&P 500 priced at
$75 or more had risen to 113. That was up from 92 at the end of
last year. At the end of 2008, in the throes of the financial crisis,
just 20 stocks were valued at $75 or more. The average stock
price over the past decade has more than doubled.
Although inflation is a factor, the price range that companies
consider to be appropriate for their stocks may just have moved
above where it has been historically, says Howard Silverblatt of
S&P Dow Jones Indices. And plenty of companies appear to be in
no rush to approve splits, despite high stock prices. Prime
examples include Apple ($443) and Chipotle Mexican Grill ($326).

for longer-term investors: They have
returned an annualized 11.8 percent
over the last 20 years, including
dividends. That compares with 8.6
percent for large stocks and 8.9
percent for small stocks.
The better performance may be
because mid-sized companies can
offer stronger earnings growth than
their larger rivals and more stability
than their smaller counterparts.

most popular among stock mutual
fund managers. Electronic instrument
maker Ametek (AME), for example,
was a holding in 77 mid-cap funds at

Treasury yields fall
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell back be-
low 1.9 percent last week for the first time since
March 4. Yields fell on worries that Europes debt
problems may be worsening. Lower Treasury yields
tend to pull down rates on mortgages and other
types of consumer loans. The average rate on a
30-year fixed mortgage last week was 3.57 percent,
according to Freddie Mac.

By Gracie Bonds staples
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
For years nowthe economy has
been forcing people to take stock
of their lives and in some cases
reinvent themselves.
And yet not all of those people
have started over after getting
pink slips. Some were left unful-
lled by jobs with competitive
salaries and benets and thus
took a chance on major career
makeovers.
Jared Nichols, a strategy con-
sultant and author of Leading
the 21st Century: the CEOs
guide to Thriving in a Volatile &
UncertainFuture, saidthat barri-
ers to creating newbusinesses are
all but gone and that people are
better equipped, better connect-
ed, and far more resourceful than
at any point in human history.
In the 20th century the indi-
vidual was subjected to a hier-
archy of information, resources,
and connections, Nichols said.
Today if an individual sees a
market need they can launch a
business to address that need
virtually overnight. Fred Spring,
51, saw opportunity in Internet
marketing and two years ago co-
founded 98 to Go, a company
based in Atlanta.
Until then, the Brookhaven
resident was a vice president of
marketing research for Turner
Entertainment.
It was a great ride but I
couldnt control the economy so
I responded to it and reinvented
myself, he said.
A year after his lay-off in 2009,
Spring said, he was helping a cli-
ent develop website trafc for his
business usinginternet marketing
and was struck by howsuccessful
their efforts were. The client was
so pleased that he suggested they
launch a business that would help
other companies have the same
peace of mind.
In 2011, he and Spring
launched 98 to Go, specically to
create content that attracts trafc
to business websites and to con-
vert site visitors to leads and cus-
tomers. A year and half later, 98
to Go is on track to turn a prot,
he said.
While the economy was the
drivingforce inSprings remake, it
is less a factor for the vast major-
ity of people, which is evidence,
Nichols said, that unprecedented
access to information is doing
more than informing us about
the external environment. It is
showing us opportunities to make
money or nd job satisfaction.
Boomers like Spring started
nearly half of newU.S. businesses
recently, according to Kansas
Citys Ewing Marion Kauffman
Foundation, which tracks and en-
courages entrepreneurship. Many
were pushedinto those careers by
the difcult job market.
Jarrett Helms, 36, and Amanda
Brown, 44, are good examples of
the new crop of entrepreneurs.
Brown, a former teacher and inte-
rior designer, said she just wasnt
happy with her life. She nally
decided to jump off the hamster
wheel and start over.
I discovered that in letting
go, the pieces that eluded me,
the parts of my life that I wanted
most, were right there in front of
me, Brown said. Things did not
have to be perfect in order for per-
fect things to happen. And so in
July 2011, Brown said she had a
come to Amanda moment and
replanned her entire life.
Within months, shed whittled
her worldly goods down to two
suitcases a big green one for
house contents and a little gray
one for ofce supplies. On Jan.
17, 2012, Brown set out to travel
the world taking photographs
and writing about them, with
a goal of them becoming a prof-
itible career.
I have rid myself of the Ameri-
can anxiety and know exactly
what I want to do with my life
instead of thinking about it and
dreaming about it, she said in a
telephone interview from France.
I think I will hit the tipping point
when people discover my photog-
raphy prints and I get a childrens
publisher. It does not always
mean more money. Happiness
also plays a role in their choices.
Brown said, Im living be-
low the American poverty level
right now, but I love what I do.
Helms, who left a well-paying
high powered job as a consultant
four months ago to launch a baby
apparel company called Cradle &
Thread, said he fell in love with
the notion of a for-prot company
that had a charitable mission at
its heart.
The idea came to him, he said,
soon after he began questioning
what he was doing with his life.
The answer, Helms said, came
in June 2011, when he was diag-
nosed with ulcerative colitis and
landed in the hospital.
I decided with a lot more clar-
ity that I wanted to do something
that I felt good about, that I was
contributing to my community,
he said. When I had that revela-
tion, the question became how?
Because he and his wife, Chris-
tina, were relatively new parents,
they knew there was stable mar-
ket for baby apparel and so Helms
began working on the concept
nights and weekends. On Nov.
1, 2012, he launched Cradle &
Thread, and in December he left
his corporate job.
For every $100 bought on the
companys site, www.cradlean-
dthread.com, it donates an entire
outt of clothing to a needy child.
I think Ive known for a while
that I have a more visionary en-
trepreneurial spirit, so it was very
liberating to conceive a brand and
execute the brand, he said.
Current economy is driving force behind Cradle & Thread

hether the
weather cooper-
ates is irrelevant
because today the
sun shines in hearts and vision
across the region.
Whats not to celebrate?
After 40 days of Lent when
many if not all Christians have
fasted and prayed today they
celebrate easter, the Day of
resurrection and the re-birth of
Christ. It is the most holy day of
the year for Christians who will
ll churches and chapels.
Followers of the Jewish faith
are observing Passover, a cel-
ebration of the escape from slav-
ery and the birth of their nation
under Moses.
And for many Christian,
Jew and those who are religious
casually or not at all its one
day deeper into Spring with the
promise of the coming season
and warmer days, the blessing of
renewed growth and the antici-
pation of summer and a season
to generally spend even more
time with family and friends.
Family and friends. they put
the shine in our hearts. they
gather together at these holi-
days to share company and the
ritual foods. Whether it is the
Seder meal that started Pass-
over earlier this week or the
easter brunch or dinner today,
it is a time for people to come
together.
the menus may be different,
from ham, lamb and kielbasa to
lamb, matzoh, and horseradish.
there is signicance and cel-
ebration to all.
Yes, there are problems in the
world close at hand and beyond
vision. But we have families and
friends and the community they
create. together it is a bond of
hope and spirit. In the past as
the religious holidays of the day
remind us people have gone
forward with less than that. No
matter what religion you follow,
we should all revel in the opti-
mism that people of vigor and
spirit can and will make a differ-
ence.
And that alone should ll our
hearts.

Celebrating today,

P
eNNSYLvANIAS pris-
on halfway houses are a
failure. More felons who
spent time in halfway
houses return to jail than among
those released directly from
prison to the streets.
that stunning conclusion
comes from Corrections Sec-
retary John Wetzel, who gets
points for having the vision to
look for the systems aws and
try to x them.
Wetzel ordered an in-house
study, which showed that 67
percent of inmates released
from halfway houses wound up
back in jail within three years,
compared with 60 percent of
inmates released directly from
prisons. Lets stop continuing
to do the same thing the same
way and expect a different re-
sult, said Wetzel.
he plans to renegotiate con-
tracts with the 38 private opera-
tors of halfway houses to give
them incentives to cut down
on recidivism or else be put on
a path to lose their contracts.
Wetzel is giving the operators
of all halfway houses, including
13 run by the state, a year to im-
prove. Altogether, the halfway
houses cost the state $110 mil-
lion annually.
Wetzel is also trying to im-
prove prisoners transition from
incarceration to society, which
could mean providing better
housing and job training. Con-
victs who return to a supportive
home or have a job lined up are
more likely to succeed in the
outside world than those who
dont. halfway houses, he notes,
cost $70 a day per resident.
Alternative housing might be
more cost-effective.
New Jersey needs to follow
Pennsylvanias example and
take an equally frank view of its
halfway houses, which a state
comptroller report and a New
York times series showed to
be poorly supervised residences
where violence, drug abuse, and
escapes are common.
Unfortunately, additional
studies ordered to give New
Jersey politicians the backbone
to make sweeping reforms have
been given outrageous post-
2014 completion dates. that ob-
vious stalling tactic will serve to
protect a buddy-buddy system
in which halfway house con-
tractors supply politicians with
campaign contributions. the
contractors should be held ac-
countable for recidivism.
Meanwhile, in Pennsylvania,
Wetzel promises to use a bet-
ter halfway house and prison
system to reduce recidivism
through effective rehabilitation.
he wants to stop warehousing
people until they return to soci-
ety with little hope of building
new, productive lives.
the need for a thoughtful,
aggressive attack on Pennsyl-
vanias recidivism problem is
summed up in the rst line of
Wetzels report: One in 200
adult Pennsylvanians is current-
ly incarcerated in a Pennsylvania
State Correctional Institution.
Ninety percent will be released
from prison, and many will com-
mit crimes again.
those numbers dont include
the thousands on parole or in
federal or county lockups. taken
together, the numbers mean
Pennsylvania has hit a tipping
point. there is barely a soul
in the state who doesnt know
someone who has been in the
criminal justice system, which
makes effective rehabilitation
everyones concern.
Wetzels unvarnished view of
the state corrections system and
his attempts to hold halfway
house operators accountable is a
big step on the right course.

On the networks NCAA tournament pregame show, a comment that sparked
criticism on Twitter that his words were inappropriate.
Until real deal gets done, Congress should stay in D.C.
WIth NO deal in sight to curb our grow-
ing national debt, America is going broke.
So what do our representatives in Con-
gress plan to do about it? take a two-week
break. Are they trying to see whether
their abysmal 13 percent approval rating
can sink any lower?
I get it. Spring break shouldnt just be
for students. Adults work hard too. But
usually, a break follows a period of
work. And not much can be said of the
113th Congress accomplishments so far.
Indeed, it has been more than two years
since the presidents bipartisan scal
commission declared a so-called moment
of truth: We cannot play games or put
off hard choices any longer. Yet that is
exactly what Washington has done and
continues to do.
It kicked the can down the road after
the scal commission made its recom-
mendations in 2010. then, in 2011, when
the nation came to the brink of defaulting
on its obligations over battles about rais-
ing the debt ceiling, President Obama and
Speaker John A. Boehner, r-Ohio, struck a
narrow deal on spending cuts but punted
the tough budget choices to a congressio-
nal committee.
After just a few months, this committee
announced it couldnt reach an agreement
and set the clock ticking on the across-
the-board cuts known as the sequester.
Most recently, when confronting the
scal cliff of scheduled tax increases
and spending reductions, Washington
once again did the bare minimum, raising
tax rates on the wealthy and letting the
sequester take effect.
We recently pushed back another debt
ceiling deadline without addressing the
underlying problem of unsustainable
decits remains unsolved. Yet Congress
is scheduled to be out of session for nine
weeks over the next ve months. And
even when its supposed to be in session
during that period, the house isnt sched-
uled to meet for a full ve-day workweek.
Although Washington has managed
to enact several trillion dollars in decit
reduction as the country lurched from one
unnecessary crisis to the next, the job is
far from nished and the most important
issues remain untouched. to set a sustain-
able nancial course for the country,
Congress and the president must replace
the sequester with a larger and more
generationally balanced decit reduction
agreement of at least $2.4 trillion that
couples meaningful changes in entitle-
ments with pro-growth tax reform.
Wisconsin republican Paul ryan of the
house Budget Committee and Washing-
ton Democrat Patty Murray of the Senate
Budget Committee, to their credit, each
released proposed budgets that recognize
the need for reducing the decit. But
neither proposal has a chance of winning
support from the other party, and they
each tackle only half the problem. ryans
budget, for example, doesnt ask for a
dime in revenue increases, while Murrays
budget doesnt go nearly far enough in
achieving savings from entitlements.
Instead of going their separate ways
home, lawmakers should stay together in
Washington, nd common ground and get
a real deal done. John hilley, who helped
strike a balanced budget with a repub-
lican Congress as President Clintons
legislative affairs director in 1997, nailed
it when he wrote: Bipartisanship is not
the absence of partisanship; it is parti-
sans coming together to reconcile their
competing political and policy objectives.
What we need is some true bipartisanship.
Both parties have bridged the gap be-
fore, and its time to do it again. that will
require, as did the 1997 deal, a number of
elements: commitment to a common goal,
open communication between all stake-
holders, an understanding of what each
side needs out of an agreement and, per-
haps most important, leaders who can put
the countrys interests ahead of their own.
For any of that to happen, though, legisla-
tors will have to be in the same place.
Until a deal is reached that addresses
the nations mounting debt, lawmakers
should stay in Washington, hunker down
and gure it out.
Nick Troiano is co-founder and national eld
director for the Can Kicks Back, a nonpartisan,
millennials-driven campaign to x the national
debt. He wrote this for the Los Angeles Times.

JOSEPH BUTKIEWICZ
Vice President / Executive Editor
Is it too much to expect a human to answer the phone?
DeAr WhOMever is
in Charge of Customer
Service for Directv:
All I wanted was to
watch the game.
I was back in my hotel
room after a long day
and I gured, what better
way to unwind? Now, the game wasnt
available on the hotel channels, but Ive
got that League Pass service you offer and
one of its perks supposedly is that
you can watch the game right on the ol
iPad.
So I got out the ol iPad and I red up
the app and I retrieved the password and
I tried to sign in and nothing happened,
so I called you guys and the robot lady
answered and told me to oprima numero
dos if I wanted to conduct my business
in Spanish, which I didnt, so I didnt and
I said yes when the robot lady asked if I
was a subscriber and I gave her my phone
number when she asked for it and then
she asked me to tell her what I wanted,
and I tried to explain twice but she didnt
get it, so I told her I had a question about
League Pass and she gave me this long
spiel about how I could buy League Pass,
which I didnt need to do, since I already
had it, so I asked the robot lady to connect
me with technical support and she said
she would and thats about when she hung
up on me, so I called again and I went
through the whole thing again and this
time I got to a human being who listened
to my problem and what I had done to
solve it, expressed remorse, then told me
to do the same things I had done, which
had not worked the rst time, and when
I did and it didnt work again, this person
transferred me to another person who also
expressed remorse and then, reading from
a manual, told me to do the thing I had
done, which hadnt worked the rst two
times, and when I explained this, trans-
ferred me to a third person who dutifully
expressed remorse and quickly concluded
he could not help me and told me to con-
tact the NBA.
By this point, the game was at halftime.
I gave up.
So anyway, Mr. or Ms. Whomever is in
Charge, heres the thing: Can I talk to a
human being next time? Ill pay extra if
you simply have the phone answered by
someone with a pulse.
Not just you. I make the same offer to
my cell phone company, my Internet pro-
vider, the electric company and the bank.
I am willing to pay more if it means that
when I call your company, my call will be
answered by an actual, knowledgeable hu-
man being who will listen to my problem
and solve it.
that doesnt seem much to ask. Once
upon a time, it wasnt. But that was before
technology made our lives simpler and
more convenient. It was before the age
turned distant and impersonal and human
beings became cost inefcient. It was
before someone got the bright idea to let
robots answer the phone.
Meaning not just machines that use
voice recognition software to misunder-
stand what youre asking for and route
your call to the wrong department, but
also those human robots who, once they
do get your call, read mechanically from
a script that requires them to express
remorse for your problem, explain why
they cant x your problem, try to up
sell you on some new service that does
not address your problem, then ask if you
are satised with how they have resolved
your problem.
those old movies that told us how
machines would take over the world had
it wrong. One does not see human skulls
crushed beneath robot feet. No, one just
sees human spirit crushed beneath robot
customer service. One misses the days
when companies employed actual people
to serve actual people and if they were
occasionally surly, clueless or unhelp-
ful, they were at least real capable of
acknowledging your presence.
how much to get that back? Seriously.
You could market it as a premium pack-
age. Directv Pulse Now With real
humans!

COMMENTARY
L E O N A R D P I T T S J R .
If you knew Sanderi-
ous Crocker, please read
this.
He died.
He was 67. folks
called him Sam. He
was living in poverty
in downtown Detroit.
A Vietnam veteran
who was seriously wounded, hed been
homeless for a while. He struggled with
alcohol. Maybe you know this. Maybe you
dont. Maybe you lost touch. Maybe you
wanted to.
Whatever the case, you should know
that Sams body had been sitting at a
Detroit morgue for a week before a friend
called me and asked whether there was
a way to nd his family any family
because a soldier shouldnt die alone and
neglected.
He left behind his papers. I am look-
ing at his discharge form now. It says he
served four years in the Marine Corps,
in 1964-68. It says he earned badges for
pistol and rie marksmanship. It says he
won several medals.
under Character of Service is one
word: Honorable.
Its possible I met Sam Crocker, and
maybe some of you did, too, because
he used to hang around the I Am My
Brothers Keeper Ministries. The earliest
anyone remembers him there is 1998,
when he was sitting on a low wall across
the street from the church.
It was summertime, and we were talk-
ing, and he was telling us he used to sing
background with the Contours before he
went to Vietnam, remembers Anthony
Castelow, an elder of the church. finally
about 7:30 we said, oK, were gonna go.
But the next morning we came back, and
we saw him sleeping on the ground on the
other side of the wall.
I said, Sam, what are you sleeping
on the ground for? youre a veteran! you
gottta have a check coming and a place to
live, right?
Well, he cussed me out with both bar-
rels. He said, Dont tell me what I gotta
have. I said, oK, oK, I apologize. That
night, Pastor Henry Covington took him
in, let him stay with some of the homeless
guys in the church.
By that point, Sam was already more
than 50 years old. As near as I can cobble
together, hed been part of a family that
was split apart because of domestic is-
sues. He graduated high school in 1964
and shortly thereafter went into the
Marines.
He did four years. fought guerrilla
forces in Vietnam. According to his pa-
perwork, he received the Presidential unit
Citation, which is given for extraordinary
heroism in action.
What Sam did over there, I cannot tell
you, because he apparently did not like to
talk about it.
He was shot up pretty badly, Castelow
recalls. He lost half his stomach. He lost
use of his legs for a long time. He was
angry about it.
over time, it caused Sam to withdraw
from much of life and take up with alco-
hol.
Does this sound like a familiar story?
No man should die alone. No man
should be buried without a farewell. Sam
Crocker, who used a motorized wheel-
chair at the end, had no family around
when he passed, left no information,
no phone numbers. I put the word out
through calls and the Internet, and some
200,000 people shared it around the world
through facebook. Eventually, a younger
sister was located.
She was stunned. She hadnt had
contact with her brother in 40 years. All
the other siblings, she said, were dead.
When I told her that Sam, as a veteran,
was entitled to a military funeral, she was
extremely grateful, and said she would
attend.
Annette Covington of My Brothers
Keeper was instrumental in connecting
people. Joseph Norris, who owns Gates
of Heaven funeral Home in Detroit, has
rescued the remains and got him a nice
suit and tie.
Sam spoke of a daughter. No one has
been able to nd her. If she is reading this,
perhaps she wants to get in touch.
The rest of us can paid our respects at
3 p.m. friday at the I Am My Brothers
Keeper church. Sam will later be interred,
with a military funeral at the Great Lakes
National Cemetery in Holly.
Maybe you knew Sam. Maybe you
didnt. Maybe you feel bad for his ending.
Maybe you dont. I cant sit here and tell
you Sam was a great man or even a good
one. But I do know he served when his
country called, and he paid a price, and
the military sent him off with the word
honorable.
Maybe we should do the same.

I honestly
believe that
if any Israeli
parent sat
down with
those [Pales-
tinian] kids,
theyd say I
want these kids to succeed.
Barack Obama, in Jeru-
salem, March 21
Very true. But how does the
other side feel about Israeli
kids?
Consider that the most
revered parent in Palestinian
society is Mariam farhat of
Gaza. Her distinction? Three of
her sons died in various stages
of trying to kill Israelis one
in a suicide attack, shooting up
and hurling grenades in a room
full of Jewish students.
She gloried in her martyr
sons, wishing only that she had
100 boys like her schoolroom
suicide attacker to sacrice
for the sake of God. And
for that she was venerated
as mother of the struggle,
elected to parliament and
widely mourned upon her
recent passing.
So much for reciprocity. In
the Palestinian territories,
streets, public squares, sum-
mer camps, high schools, even
a kindergarten are named after
suicide bombers and other
mass murderers. So much for
the notion that if only Israelis
would care about Arab kids,
peace would be possible.
Israelis have forever wanted
nothing more than peace and
security for all the children.
Thats why they accepted the
1947 u.N. partition of British
Palestine into a Jewish and
Arab state. unfortunately
another asymmetry the
Arabs said no. To this day, the
Palestinians have rejected every
peace offer that leaves a Jewish
state standing.
This is not ancient history.
yasser Arafat said no at Camp
David in 2000 and at Taba
in 2001. And in 2008, Prime
Minister Ehud olmert offered
a Palestinian state on all of
the West Bank (with territo-
rial swaps) with its capital in a
shared Jerusalem. Mahmoud
Abbas walked away.
In that same speech, obama
blithely called these missed
historic opportunities that
should not prevent peace-
seeking now. But these missed
historic opportunities are not
random events. They present
an unrelenting pattern of reject-
ing any nal peace with Israel.
So what was the point of
obamas Jerusalem speech
encouraging young Israelis to
make peace, a speech the media
drooled over? It was mere
rhetoric, a sideshow meant to
soften the impact on the Arab
side of the really important
event of obamas trip: the major
recalibration of his position on
the peace process.
obama knows that peace
talks are going nowhere. first,
because there is no way that
Israel can sanely make conces-
sions while its neighborhood
is roiling and unstable the
Muslim Brotherhood taking
over Egypt, rockets being red
from Gaza, Hezbollah brandish-
ing 50,000 missiles aimed at
Israel, civil war raging in Syria
with its chemical weapons and
rising jihadists, and Iran threat-
ening openly to raze Tel Aviv
and Haifa.
Second, peace is going
nowhere because Abbas has
shown obama over the last four
years that he has no interest in
negotiating. obamas message
to Abbas was blunt: Come to
the table without the excuse of
demanding a settlement freeze
rst.
obama himself had contribut-
ed to this impasse when he im-
posed that precondition for
the rst time ever in the history
of Arab-Israeli negotiations
four years ago. And when Israel
responded with an equally un-
precedented 10-month settle-
ment freeze, Abbas didnt show
up to talk until more than nine
months in then walked out,
never to return.
In Ramallah, obama didnt
just address this perennial Pal-
estinian dodge. He demolished
the very claim that settlements
are the obstacle to peace. Pal-
estinian sovereignty and Israeli
security are the core issue, he
told Abbas. If we solve those
two problems, the settlement
problem will be solved.
finally. Presidential valida-
tion of the screamingly obvious
truism: Any peace agreement
will produce a Palestinian
state with not a single Israeli
settlement remaining on its
territory. Any settlement on the
Palestinian side of whatever
border is agreed upon will be
demolished. Thus, any peace
that reconciles Palestinian
statehood with Israeli security
automatically resolves the
settlement issue. It disappears.
yes, obama offered the ritual
incantations about settlements
being unhelpful. Nothing new
here. He could have called
them illegal or illegitimate. It
wouldnt have mattered be-
cause obama ofcially declared
them irrelevant.
Exposing settlements as a
mere excuse for the Palestinian
refusal to negotiate that was
the news, widely overlooked,
coming out of obamas trip.
Will it endure? Who knows. But
when an American president
so sympathetic to the Palestin-
ian cause tells Abbas to stop
obstructing peace with that
phony settlement excuse, some-
thing important has happened.
Abbas, unmasked and unhappy,
knows this better than anyone.

Writer: Rise up
and take back Easter
W
hy doesnt the resurrection of The
Savior qualify for a bigger celebra-
tion than His birth? Habitual Christian
churchgoers everywhere will tell you
that the two top days for church atten-
dance are Christmas Eve and Easter
Sunday, so you would think that
Easter could have handily trounced
Christmascelebration-wise.
Ill be the rst to admit that a new
life should always be celebrated, but
even on the religiousness-importance
scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being
kinda pointless without it, Easter
would certainly qualify as top banana.
Imagine celebrating Easter Sunday
with a blow-out party followed by a
Rose Bowl parade, a traditional rabbit
stew, and reworks in the evening.
And speaking of rabbits, maybe Chris-
tians are not the ones to blame for this
reversal of fortunes.
Maybe we should fault the Easter
Bunny. After all, he doesnt have the
brains to hire helpers, he shows up on
a different Sunday every single year
(making it impossible to dress for the
weather) and he lacks cool wheels.
He doesnt leave a map to the eggs,
so theres a really good chance that on
that rst real scorcher of a day in June,
you are bound to nd one that was
previously MIA just by following your
nose. Plus in a head-to-head competi-
tion between Santa Claus and Good
ol E.B., my money is on the Bunny
to scare the Beejezus out of little kids.
Have you seen this guy at an egg hunt
lately? Somebody, from Pixar ought to
get on that, partner with Marc Jacobs,
and get some fun-looking, high quality
threads for the dude.
from a purely secular standpoint,
Santa Claus sure has a helluva lot
going for him that the Easter Bunny
cannot compete with. Mrs. Claus has
his back, the elves have marketable
skills, and lets not forget his mall
helpers. In addition theres the whole
winter wonderland thing and the col-
laboration with the likes of frosty the
Snowman and Charlie Brown and his
crew. Hes got lights, and twinkly, spar-
kly things and literally thousands of
musical recordings. Whats the Bunny
got? one hip-hop song, a basket full of
pastel colored eggs with stickers and a
mentally-challenged Bugs Bunny car-
toon character to pick up the slack. In
retrospect, yeah, I take it back. Maybe
its not the Bunnys fault entirely;
Santa is some stiff competition. How
about a Bunny app or a Twitter so the
kids get on board?
Perhaps I have a defective Bible.
Maybe the book of Peter Cottontail
was left out when the Council met at
Trent and it never became part of the
Apocrypha. We do not really know,
but if that is the case, it might explain
the connection between the Bunny,
Jesus and plastic eggs with jelly beans,
but we may never know. They do not
teach that in Catechism.
Then again, maybe Christians are
the problem. It cannot go unnoticed
that without the birth of Jesus, there
would have been no Christ followers,
but without His death, there would
be no Christianity at all. It is possible
that some Christians lost sight of the
importance of Easter Sunday so they
put other days, even Christmas before
it. Both religiously and secularly, Eas-
ter has been slighted, and that seems
wrong. Rise up and take Easter back.

Property tax system
burden to Pa. residents
H
ere we go again the annual hosing of

cow list is out for hospitals, universi-
ties, muncipalities, everyone except
the taxpayer who still gets levied with
additional mills of taxes. This is also a
cash cow for your elected representa-

much they did for the community.
Why do you think they only pay you

As times change, will Americans tolerance for tradition be tolerated?
With the
issue of same-
sex marriage
argued before
the Supreme
Court and rag-
ing elsewhere
in America, a
question:
is it possible to be a tradi-
tional Christian or Muslim or
Orthodox Jew and hold to
ones faith on what constitutes
marriage and not be consid-
ered a bigot?
And is faith now a problem to
be overcome, rst marginalized
by the state and then contained,
so as not to get in the way of
great changes to come?
the issue of same-sex unions
is by nature contentious and
divisive. it is not merely about
equal protection under the law,
but redening the foundation of
our culture, which is the family
itself.
its not my intention to add
to the anger and the noise. if
youve followed the news of the
crowds outside the Supreme
Court this week, and watched
those vicious little boxes within
boxes on cable tV, with angry
people barking at each other,
youll get plenty of noise.
im not angry. Yet i am
struggling. And ive been silent
on the subject for some time,
trying to gure it out.
im not opposed to same-sex
unions. Americans have the
right to equal protection under
the law, and same-sex couples
should be able to expect the
same tax benets and other
considerations allowed to those
of us who are now being called,
in some quarters, opposite-sex
couples.
As far as im concerned,
Americans have the right to do
as they please as long as they
dont infringe upon the rights
of others. America is all about
liberty and freedom.
But this all comes now dur-
ing the season of Lent, a time of
fasting and prayer, when Chris-
tians are compelled to confront
the obligations of their faith.
And while i hear the new
moral arguments, about equal
rights and equal protection, ive
read little about the religious
freedom aspects and what the
Supreme Courts ruling might
mean for houses of traditional
worship.
All im asking is that in the
rush to establish new rights,
that tolerance for religious free-
dom be considered as well.
the federal government has
already told religious institu-
tions that run hospitals that
they must provide contracep-
tives to their employees, even if
it runs counter to their beliefs.
So now, if the government ulti-
mately compels us to describe
same-sex unions as marriage,
whats next?
For centuries now, churches
have allowed the state (and by
this i mean the government) to
license marriage ceremonies. it
follows then that what is hap-
pening in America at present
was inevitable long ago.
to speak of faith in this
context is to invite the charge
of bigotry if not outright, at
least by comparison to angry
re-and-brimstone preachers
who seem to use the Bible as
a lash. Some wield the Old
testament like a cudgel, and
avoid the New testament, in
which Christ asked us to refrain
from judging and to love our
neighbor.
No one with half a brain
wants to be thought of as a
bigot. But thats what i and
others risk as members of a
distinct and irritating minority
as traditional Christians in
journalism.
it is a world of language and
political symbolism, a world
where ideas are often framed so
that they may lead to inexo-
rable conclusions favored by
the dominant culture. in this
media world, i sometimes
wonder whether the word sin
has been outlawed by the high
priests of journalism for fear of
offending one group or another.
And id rather not ask.
Now that the debate has been
framed, if i hold to my faith and
resist applauding the changes,
im easily cast as some drool-
ing white cartoon bigot of the
Jim Crow era, denying black
Americans the right to sit at a
lunch counter and have a meal
with the white folks.
its a cheap construction,
yes, thoughtless, yet widely
accepted in the news media and
therefore effective.
What is also clear is that,
given demographic shifts and
attitudes, particularly by young
people regarding sexuality and
family, traditional Christian-
ity is no longer the dominant
culture.
it is the counterculture, fast
becoming a minority view.
Again, i dont oppose same-
sex unions. i think Americans
should have the right to associ-
ate as they please. My wife and
i have had friends and family
members who were gay, and
died of AiDS. We loved them,
and still do.
But i am Greek Orthodox, a
never-changing faith, and this
is Lent.
in recent weeks, with the ad-
vent of a new Roman Catholic
pope, there have been many
beautiful words written about
tolerance and change, writ-
ten by those who on one hand
support abortion rights and
gay marriage, yet on the other
talk lovingly of the comforting
ancient rituals and the sound of
ancient prayers.
Forgive me, but i nd this all
quite difcult to reconcile. the
liturgy is not a costume drama.
the incense isnt a prop. the
singing isnt about nostalgia.
these are means to reach a
timeless place, where the state
and its laws do not go.
And while i struggle with
the fast-moving issue of the
redenition of marriage and its
effect on our culture and how
to reconcile the rights of others
and my own religious beliefs, i
ask only one thing:
tolerance.
Remember that word? toler-
ance?
tolerance for those whose
faith and traditional beliefs put
them in what is fast becoming
the minority.

COMMENTARY

MAIL BAG | LETTERS FROM READERS
A writers view
on gay marriage
A
fter listening to a local talk
show host defend, protect,
and accept gay policies and
their civil rights, i have to
react to this piece, since he
doesnt think immorality means
anything.
i am writing this article for a
very simple reason. i hope the
readers will not be offended by
my reasons.
First of all, i am very much
against gay marriage and i
dont really like the fact that
gays want all of these certain
rights. Why should they have
any special rights? Lets say
that i am happily married with
say, two children ages four and
ve. We are happy and are en-
joying life. Lo and behold, two
gays or lesbians move in next
to us and they have adopted
children, which i think is also
wrong.
One day one of my children
ask me Daddy, how come my
friends dont have a mommy or
daddy, whatever the case. i tell
them they are adopted. they
ask who their father or mother
is. Do i tell them that they are
pretending to be a mommy
and daddy? if you cant have
your own children because
youre gay, doesnt that tell you
enough?
All i can say is; the gay
community brought all of their
problems upon themselves.
Why should they have any spe-
cial rights? especially marriage,
that is totally immoral.
Our country is upside
down with problems that are
more important than the gay
communitys problems. Our
government reps should put
our country back together and
let the population go back in
hiding like before.
they will all burn in hell on
judgment day because they
are perverse. Our new pope
also said the gay population
is destroying Gods plans for
creation.
the future of America is
in the hands of our younger
generation but most young
people dont care what is hap-
pening outside their own doors
of home.
they are electronically ad-
dicted and brain dead to just
about everything happening
in America, and they care less
about the gay class, and all of
the immorality around them.
God bless us all.
