Gus the
groundhog,
in happier
times.
Some will mourn.
Some will say, Good riddance to that
flea-bitten pitch-puppet!
Gus, the second most famous
groundhog in Pennsylvania, is ending
his gig with the state lottery.
No longer will TV viewers hear his
chortly voice urge citizens to keep on
scratching those instant lottery tickets.
For nearly eight years, during more
than 50 commercials, the animatronic
animal seemed so happy rapping, trying
out for the Eagles and advising tongue-
tied loverboys.
We wanted to stay fresh and relevant
with our advertising, and thought it was
time to allow Gus to enjoy his semi-
retirement, said lottery spokeswoman
Allison Roberts.
Shes sworn to secrecy about Gus-less
promotions debuting March 1.
Lets hope he takes it well.
If Gus goes postal, those sharp claws
could do serious damage.
Imagine the jealous rage if
his also-pink-slipped
girlfriend, Gabby,
dumps him for
somebody still-
employed, like

Luzerne County prisonunionworkers have
made an unusual offer to give up 3 percent
contractual wage hikes throughthe rest of the
year in exchange for reduced layoffs, but its
still unclear if county officials will accept.
County council members said they will dis-
cuss the matter with Interim Manager Tom
Pribula in executive session before Tuesdays
meeting. The countys newhome rule charter
requires council to approve collective bar-
gaining agreements, and this would alter an
existing union contract.
Council members have publicly pressed
unions for concessions, but council members
appear to be hesitating because the prisons
tentative proposal comes with strings.

WILKES-BARRE The $665,256 in utility

Several Luzerne County Coun-
cil members are willing to consid-
ermothballingthelandmarkHotel
Sterling for potential future devel-
opment, but most are leaning to-
ward proceeding with demolition.
Wilkes-Barre architect Carl
Handman had suggested obtain-
ing accurate cost estimates on
both options before deciding the
fate of the 114-year-old downtown
Wilkes-Barre structure. Mothball-
ing would involve structural work,
roof repairs, window sealing and
ventilation.
Council members didnt have
the opportunity to state their posi-
tions during a lengthy work ses-
sion about the Sterling on Tues-
day. Heres a summary of their
views:
Jim Bobeck said mothballing
only works if there is a foreseeable
buyer, andnonehassurfacedinthe
last decade.
The county cannot simply
cling to a property for 20 to 30
years in the hope that a future
buyer will emerge, he said.
Elaine Maddon Curry said
shed like to obtain costs for both
mothballing and demolition.
The public is very involved in
thisissue, andI thinkinorder todo
our part as county council, we
need to see both options.
Edward Brominski questions
whether the county shouldget fur-
ther involved.
The property is owned by the
nonprofit CityVest, whichspent $6
million in county community de-
velopment funding on the project

HARRISBURG A govern-

complaint withthe Pennsylvania
Department of State asking for
its legal counsel to take a closer
look at the 2011 annual financial
statement for the Friends of Bob
Mellowcampaign.
Gene Stilp, a Wilkes-Barre na-
tivewhonowlivesinMiddlePax-
ton Township, Dauphin County,
filed the paperwork Wednesday
asking for a full reviewandinves-
tigation into whether state cam-
paign finance laws were broken.
Of concern to Stilp are a hand-
ful of legal expenditures made by
the campaign that supports the
retired former Senate Majority
Leader from Peckville. Accord-
ing to the campaign financial re-
port filed in January, $738,114
had been sent to law firms in
Scranton and Philadelphia last
year.
A message left for Mellow on
Wednesday was not returned.
Mellow opted not to seek reelec-
tionandleft office14monthsago.
Stilp said hes no expert on the
law and isnt making any judg-
ment on what the campaign re-
cords show, but in his opinion, I
believe a complaint is warrant-
ed.
Im filing this to get the
wheels of government in mo-
tion, he said. (The campaign
report) raises many questions.

WILKES-BARRE GAR High
School apparently became home
to two commando bed bugs with
acute survival skills.
Wilkes-Barre Area School Dis-
trict Superintendent Jeff Namey
said the bugs were discovered
Tuesday in a science lab that had
been sprayed for bed bugs over
the weekend.
The theory is the bugs man-
agedtocrawl intospaces behinda
panel in the lab, and the spray
didnt penetrate their newfound
hideout.
They will pull one of the pan-
els off and spray again, Namey
said.
Spraying was done over the
weekend after two bed bugs were
found in the school last week, one
on a students clothing and anoth-
er on a book.
GARis the secondschool inthe
district to have discovered bed
bugsinclassrooms. Abedbugwas
found on the floor of a classroom
at Kistler Elementary School
about three weeks ago.
The district called in experts
who sprayed that room and near-
by ones as a precaution. Namey
said the bugs are brought in on
clothing or books by students.
The bugs are parasites that feed
on human blood and are frequent-
ly found in mattresses.
They travel in clothing and lug-
gage including school books
andcanbedifficult toexterminate
if allowed to settle into a home, a
fact that has prompted concern
amongparents at bothKistler and
GAR after the bugs were found.

WILKES-BARRE The state
Superior Court has upheld a Lu-
zerne County senior judges rul-
ing that sent a juvenile charged
with rape to a detention center.
The state court upheld the de-
cision of Senior Judge Chester
Muroski, who ruled the juvenile
should be held at the Northwest-
ern Academy in Coal Township,
despite efforts by individuals rep-
resenting the juvenile that he
should receive outpatient sex of-
fender treatment.
According to court papers, the
juvenile was adjudicated a delin-
quent on felony charges relating
to sexual assault. Adjudication is
equivalent to a guilty plea in
adult court.
Thejuvenilewas thenplacedat
the Northwestern Academy by
Muroski inMay 2011. That ruling
was appealed by the juvenile to
the Superior Court, saying Mu-
roski abused(his) discretion by
placing the juvenile in the deten-
tion center.
The state court said it consid-
ered testimony from a disposi-
tionhearing, similar to a sentenc-
ing in adult court, including from
a court-appointed evaluator and
clinical psychologist.
The evaluator testified outpa-
tient treatment would be appro-
priate, but acknowledged three
girls had been victimized by the
juvenile
The juveniles actions escalat-
ed from poking the victims
breasts to raping somebody,
the evaluator testified.
The psychologist also recom-
mended outpatient counseling.
Prosecutors in the case pre-
sented a representative from
Northwestern Academy, who
said their program consists of
safety for the community, em-
pathy for the victim and treat-
ment for the offender.
The programis housing the ju-
venile in a secure facility for 12 to
24 months, where juvenile sex of-
fenders receive treatment and
therapeutic and educational ser-
vices.
The three victims also testified
at the hearing that they were
afraid of the juvenile.
There is a very cautious con-
cern from the general public
about juvenile placements and
whether or not juvenile place-
ments are appropriate in all sets
of circumstances and whether or
not they are a necessity, Muros-
ki said at the hearing.
He saidhe consideredthe testi-
mony of witnesses at the disposi-
tion hearing, and that the juve-
nile had previous offenses involv-
ing two young girls and decided
there was moderate risk of re-of-
fense.
The judge said he believed
community-based treatment
would not be appropriate for the
juvenile, and that it was likely
more crimes would be commit-
ted.
Muroski ruled the juvenile will
be held at the juvenile detention
center and that he would review
the juveniles case every three
months.The high court said Mu-
roski properly and thoroughly
considered testimony and acted
within its discretion

WILKES-BARRE A senior
judge has recused himself from
three cases in which a Dun-
more bank says it is owed $5.9
million by The Powell Law
Firm after bank attorneys
asked that any judge who had
worked with ex-judge Michael
Conahan should be prohibited
from hearing the cases.
Senior Judge Chester Mu-
roski said in a one-page order
he was recusing himself from
the cases after attorneys Mi-
chael McGrath and James
Mangan penned a letter to the
judge on Jan. 29.
The two attorneys represent
the First National Community
Bank regarding three loans to-
taling $5.9 million. The Powell
Law Group is listed as the de-
fendant in each of the cases.
In late January movers were
clearing out the Butler Town-
ship law office that had previ-
ously been listed in a county
free-and-clear back-tax auc-
tion in August. A call Wednes-
day to a listed phone number
for the law firm revealed the
number was disconnected.
First National Community
Bank paid the $65,000 in taxes
owed on the property after it
risked losing any opportunity
to recoup some of the millions
of dollars in loans. The build-
ing on 5 acres is still under the
ownership of Powells Big Ka-
huna Realty LLC, county re-
cords show.
Attorneys for
the Powell Law
Group had
asked that the
cases be reo-
pened to award
reasonable fees
and costs.
Three judgments ordering pay-
ments were entered against the
law group in July 2011.
Muroski heard arguments in
early January, but no ruling has
been made yet.
In the largest loan, for $4.6 mil-
lion, the bank obtained judg-
ments against firm partners Rob-
ert Powell and Jill Moran, Cona-
han and others in February 2009
related to the default of loans for
the Wright Township townhouse
project formerly known as The
Sanctuary.
Attorneys for the law group al-
leged in court papers filed in Au-
gust 2011that Conahan, also a di-
rector of the bank, used his posi-
tiontoimproperlyinterfere with
the management of the pro-
ject.
Inthe Jan. 29letter toMuroski,
McGrath and Mangan wrote that
because of Conahans involve-
ment in the case, there were is-
sues that need to be addressed.
In light of the history and
scandal involving Mr. Conahan,
as well as (Muroskis) involve-
ment in the remedial measures
stemming from those incidents,
(FNCB) believes that it would be
unfair to expect you, or any other
member of the bench who served
with Conahan, to remain impar-
tial when it comes to Conahan,
the attorneys wrote.
Muroski had served as presi-
dent judge when Conahan and
his co-defendant, former judge
Mark Ciavarella, were charged.
Muroski was forced to clean
up the mess left in the wake of
Conahans conduct, and col-
leagues on the bench likely
formed opinions about Cona-
hans character, the attorneys
wrote.
It is unreasonable to ask you
toovercome that bias andaccord-
ingly, (FNCB) believes that recu-
sal is appropriate, they said.
In a letter written in response
by attorneys Brian Muething and
Jane Sebelin, who represent the
Powell Law Group, the attorneys
say a recusal is not needed.
The attorneys say Muroskis
role is to consider lawand factual
allegations that do not relate to
Conahan and the request to re-
cuse himself should have come
sooner in the case.
As a result of Muroskis ruling
Tuesday, Muroski requested that
another judge be assigned.

Man faces homicide trial
A city man charged in the Dec. 16
shooting death of his girlfriend will
stand trial in June, a
county judge said
Wednesday.
Stanley Davis, 45,

criminal homicide
and a firearms relat-
ed charge at a June

Davis was arraigned in county
court Wednesday, when he entered a
not guilty plea.
City police allege Davis and Carlot-
ta Springer-Howard were arguing
before he picked up a shotgun and
fired it in front of her 18-year-old son,
Fred Lassiter. Her two younger chil-
dren also were in the apartment.
Davis was captured when he was
stopped driving a van on Academy
Street minutes after the shooting.

HARRISBURG -- Saying its a mathe-
matical impossibility that anything other
than the 2001 legislative district lines
could be used in the April 24 primaries,
somelegislativeleadersnowhavesettheir
sights on adopting newmaps with an eye
on the 2014 election. But not all.
The five-member Legislative Reappor-
tionment Commission met for a fewmin-
utes Wednesday and then recessed with-
out presenting any proposed legislative
district maps.
That bipartisan panel composed of
House Majority Leader Mike Turzai, Sen-
ate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi,
House Minority Leader Frank Dermody,
Senate Minority Leader Jay Costa and
Judge Stephen McEwen Jr., met Wednes-
day, approved minutes fromits last meet-
ingandheardabrief comment fromChair-
man McEwen.
He said while the commissioners have
been working hard to draft new maps for
Pennsylvanias 203 House and 50 Senate
districts, it has come close but were not
there yet.
The panel recessed until Tuesday at 1
p.m., at whichtimeit will considerapprov-
ing new maps, which under state law
would need to be available for public re-
viewand comment for 30 days before a fi-
nal voteis takentoadopt them. Thena30-
day period allowing legal challenges
would begin, taking the timing past the
April 24 primaries.
The commissions original plan to re-
mapPennsylvaniawasruledinvalidbythe
state Supreme Court, and a federal judge
said the existing borders
should be kept for this
years elections. There
were attempts to create
newlines in time, but they
did not pan out.
And now, it seems, time has run out for
this years elections to use new district
lines based on population changes from
the 2010 census.
If need be, the primary could be
moved, but it is not what is beingadvocat-
ed, saidStephenMiskin, aspokesmanfor
Turzai, R-Bradford Woods. He added that
we still havent ruled out moving the pri-
mary. Its still a possibility.
Theres nothing to prevent the legisla-
turefromvotingtodelaytheprimaryelec-
tion, but that doesnt seem likely, accord-
ing to Erik Arneson, a spokesman for Pi-
leggi, R-Chester.
Given the uncertainty that exists re-
garding the timetable for adopting a new
General Assembly redistricting plan, we
do not intend to move any legislation
which would change the primary date,
said Arneson.
Moving the primary into May or June
would be difficult logistically for election
officials, too.
That would be a very difficult timeta-
bletomeet, saidRonaldG. Ruman, press
secretary for the Department of State. He
said until it hears otherwise, his office is
moving along with plans for the primary
election to take place April 24 and using
2001 approved boundaries for all 253 dis-
tricts.
I dont see any other scenario, Ruman
said. But henotedhis officewill followthe
actions of the legislature.
Miskinsaida big issue is that some offi-
cials believe holding elections with 2001
lines would be unconstitutional and, as
legislators, theyre sworn to uphold the
constitution.

WILKES-BARRE A payroll ad-
ministrator at MotorWorld Auto
Group was charged Wednesday with
stealing more than $130,000 fromthe
business to feed her addiction to
gambling according to charges fil-
ed.
City police charged Denise Zbier-
ski, 35, of Cleveland Street, Plains
Township, with theft and tampering
with records.
Zbierski could not be reached for
comment.
Awoman who answered the phone
at MotorWorld said there was no
comment and hung up.
According to the criminal com-
plaint:
William Durkin, controller at Mo-
torWorld, told police he conducted
an audit that showed Zbierski as the
fifth highest-paid employee in the
company. Zbierski was supposed to
be paid $13 an hour with an annual
salary of $27,040, Durkin told police.
Durkin initially thought the discre-
pancy was a clerical error until Zbier-
ski was confronted with the audits
findings.
Zbierski told Durkin it wasnt a
mistake and admitted to the theft,
claiming she has a gambling addic-
tion and credit card debt, the com-
plaint says.
Durkin told police Zbierski was in
a position of trust and had control
over the payroll computer program
and payroll reports. She allegedly al-
tered her weekly pay to avoid detec-
tion.
Police said in the complaint that
information supplied by MotorWorld
alleged Zbierski added $3,954 to her
pay in 2010 and $128,160 in 2011.
Zbierski on Feb. 2 told police she
used her computer to alter her pay,
the complaint says.
She was arraigned by District
Judge Martin Kane in Wilkes-Barre
and released on her own recogni-
zance. A preliminary hearing is
scheduled on Feb. 29 in Wilkes-Barre
Central Court.

WILKES-BARRE A Luzerne Coun-
ty judge on Wednesday scheduled an
October trial for an 80-year-old woman
charged with poisoning her sons girl-
friend.
Judge Fred Pierantoni ruled Helen
Galli, of Wyoming, will stand trial on
Oct. 22 on charges of aggravated as-
sault, simple assault and reckless en-
dangerment.
Police said she laced juice with anti-
freeze that was ingest-
ed by Dawn Simyan,
41, in March 2010.
Simyan suffered
ethylene glycol poi-
soning that led to
acute kidney failure,
police said. She was
hospitalized for sever-
al days.
Prosecutors allege Galli poisoned
the woman because she did not want
her to come between her and her son,
Victor.
An arrest warrant had been issued
for Galli earlier this month, but was re-
voked because of a scheduling error.
Pierantoni has not yet ruled on a re-
quest by prosecutors who are seeking
to use a prior conviction against Galli
at her trial.
She was sentenced in1991to10 years
probation after she pleaded guilty to
persuading two granddaughters to
start a fire at the home of her daughter-
in-law in Plains Township on May 7,
1990, according to court records.
Gallis attorney, Joseph Sklarosky,
Sr., said in court papers the 21-year-old
case is not needed, relevant or neces-
sary to prove the commonwealths
case.
Sklarosky said allowing the 1990
case into the upcoming trial will
blacken her character to a jury.
Trial set for woman charged in poisoning
Helen Galli, 80, is accused of putting
antifreeze in sons girlfriends juice.

WILKES-BARRE A Nanti-
coke teen charged in connection
with a deadly home invasion will
face a trial in June, a Luzerne
County judge said.
DavidAlanRauschJr., 17, faces
29 counts relating to the home in-
vasion, including assault andbur-
glary charges, and will stand trial
on June 4, Judge Fred Pierantoni
said.
Rauschwas chargedinthe Feb.
8incident at a HunlockTownship
trailer on Old Tavern Road where
44-year-old Robert Muntz was
shot and killed.
Rauschs attorney, JosephSkla-
rosky Sr., said he will likely be fil-
ing motions to have his clients
case heard in county juvenile
court, rather than in adult court
where the case is now. Assistant
District Attorney Mamie Phillips
said she would oppose that re-
quest.
Investigators allege Muntz,
Rausch and Theresa Daniels
went to the trailer so Muntz
could collect money and proper-
ty that Amanda Bowmans boy-
friend, Jeff Laton, had taken.
AmaskedMuntz, armedwitha
stolen .22-caliber handgun,
stormed into the trailer and con-
fronted a sleeping Laton in a bed-
room, investigators allege. Bow-
man testified Laton yelled at her
to, Shoot, baby, shoot. Bow-
man said she fired two shots,
striking Muntz once in the head.
Muntzs death was ruled justi-
fiable homicide, prosecutors
said, noting that Bowman acted
todefendherself andLaton. State
police said that during the inves-
tigation of the deadly shooting,
they discovered the trailer was
used to manufacture metham-
phetamines.
Daniels allegedly told police
she was in a car with Muntz and
Rausch and Muntz spotted La-
tons car parked in front of the
trailer. Muntz turned around and
put a white mask on before going
into the trailer to speak with La-
ton. Daniels alleged Muntz
kicked in the front door and
charged into the house with
Rausch following. Daniels ran to
the front door and heard gun-
shots and Laton screaming, Get
outta here. I called the police,
they are coming.
Daniels faces trial on similar
charges. Laton, Bowman and
three others face drug charges.

D.C. plot suspect in court
A

Capitol waived his rights Wednesday to
preliminary and detention hearings.
Amine El Khalifi, 29, of Alexandria
was arrested Friday and charged with
attempting to use a weapon of mass
destruction. He was ordered held pend-
ing indictment. Federal court docu-
ments say El Khalifi is a native of Mo-
rocco who has been living illegally in
the United States for more than a dec-
ade.
An FBI affidavit traces the evolution
of El Khalifis alleged plotting, saying
he revealed his intentions to an under-

member of al-Qaida.
CHARLESTON, W.VA.
W.Va. mine boss charged
Federal prosecutors investigating the
West Virginia coal mine explosion that
killed 29 men are working their way up
the corporate ladder with criminal
charges.
On Wednesday, the former superin-
tendent of the Upper Big Branch mine
became the highest-ranking company
official charged in the 2010 disaster,
and he is apparently cooperating with
prosecutors, who said the investigation
is far from over.
Gary May, 43, was charged with
conspiracy to defraud the government,
accused among other things of dis-
abling a methane gas monitor, falsify-
ing safety records and using code
words to tip off miners underground
about surprise inspections.
He could get up to five years in pris-
on if found guilty.

Guilty plea in grant fraud
A former Penn State University pro-
fessor has pleaded guilty to wire fraud,
false statements and money laundering
in connection with $3 million in federal
research grants.
Federal prosecutors said 55-year-old
Craig Grimes of Raleigh, N.C., defraud-
ed the National Institutes of Health
between 2006 and 2011 while a Penn
State professor of material sciences
and engineering.
Authorities said his State College
company requested a $1.2 million grant
from the National Institutes of Health,
but funds werent sent to Hershey
Medical Center as promised and clin-
ical studies and trials werent done.
Grimes was also charged with false
statements in a $1.9 million Depart-
ment of Energy grant.
ALBANY, N.Y.
Anti-fracking camp boosted
A New York court decision has bol-
stered a movement among towns de-
termined to prevent the controversial
practice of hydraulic fracturing for
natural gas within their borders.
A state Supreme Court justice on
Tuesday upheld the town of Drydens
August 2011 zoning amendment ban-
ning gas drilling. Denver-based An-
schutz Exploration Corporation, which
has spent $5.1 million leasing and de-
veloping 22,000 acres in Dryden, about
40 miles southwest of Syracuse, had
argued state law trumped the ban.
More than 50 New York communi-
ties have enacted gas-drilling bans.
Binghamton attorney Helen Slottje,
who helps draft such laws, says the
ruling should embolden towns consid-
ering local bans.
New York has had a moratorium on
issuing drilling permits for horizontal
gas drilling and high-volume hydraulic
fracturing, or fracking, since 2008
while it drafts new regulations.

BEIRUT Syrian gunners
pounded an opposition strong-
hold where the last dispatches
from a veteran American-born
war correspondent chronicled
the suffering of civilians caught
in the relentless shelling. An in-
tense morning barrage killed
her and a French photojournal-
ist two of 74 deaths reported
Wednesday in Syria.
I watcheda littlebabydieto-
day, Marie Colvin told the
BBCfromthe embattled city of
Homs on Tuesday in one of her
final reports.
Absolutely horrific, a 2-year
old child had been hit, added
Colvin, who worked for Bri-
tains Sunday Times. They
stripped it and found the shrap-
nel had gone into the left chest
and the doctor said, I cant do
anything. His little tummy just
kept heaving until he died.
Colvin and photographer Re-
mi Ochlik were among a group
of journalists who had crossed
into Syria and were sharing ac-
commodations with activists,
raisingspeculationthat govern-
ment forces targeted the ma-
keshift media center, although
opposition groups had previ-
ously described the shelling as
indiscriminate. At least two
other Western journalists were
wounded.
Hundreds of people have
died in weeks of siege-style at-
tacks on Homs that have come
to symbolize the desperation
and defiance of the nearly year-
old uprising against President
Bashar Assad.
On Wednesday, helicopter
gunships reportedly strafed
mountain villages that shelter
the rebel Free SyrianArmy, and
soldiers staged door-to-door
raids in Damascus, among oth-
er attacks.
The bloodshed and crack-
downs brought some of the
most galvanizing calls for the
end of Assads rule.
Thats enough now. The re-
gime must go, said French
President Nicolas Sarkozy after
his government confirmed the
deaths of Colvin, 56, and
Ochlik, 28.
The U.S. and other countries
have begun to cautiously exam-
ine possible military aid to the
rebels. U.S. Secretary of State
Hillary Rodham Clinton heads
to Tunisia for a meeting Friday
of more than 70 nations to look
at ways to assist Assads oppo-
nents, which now include hun-
dreds of defected military offi-
cers and soldiers.

GOP presidential hopefuls Mitt Rom-
ney, right, and Rick Santorum argue a
point during a debate Wednesday.
WASHINGTON The Su-
preme Court appeared sharply
divided Wednesday over a law
that makes it a crime to lie about
havingbeenawardedtopmilitary
honors.
The justices engaged debate
over the constitutionality of a
2006 law aimed at curbing false
claims about military exploits.
Some justices said they wor-
ried that upholding the Stolen
Valor Act could lead to other lim-
its on speech, including laws that
might make it illegal to lie about
an extramarital affair or a college
degree, or to impress a date.
Where do you stop? Chief
Justice JohnRoberts askedat one
point.
But Roberts later joined other
justices in indicating that the
court could make clear that, if it
upheld the law, it would only be
endorsing an effort to prevent
people from demeaning the sys-
tem of military honors that was
established by Gen. George
Washington in 1782.
The Obama administrations
top Supreme Court lawyer, Solic-
itor General Donald Verrilli Jr.,
defended the law as targeted to
protect the integrity of the hon-
ors system.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor
seemed the least willing member
of the court to accept the admin-
istrations argument. She disput-
ed that the value of the highest
award, the Medal of Honor, or
any others has been diminished
because some people lie about
having received them.
Sotomayor said the issue pro-
vokes a justifiable emotional re-
action, but said previous Su-
preme Court cases make clear
that taking offense by itself is not
enoughtojustify limitingspeech.
So outside of the emotional
reaction, wheres the harm? And
Imnot minimizing it. I, too, take
offense when people make these
kinds of claims, but I take offense
when someone Im dating makes
a claimthats not true, saidSoto-
mayor, who is divorced.
On the other side was Justice
Antonin Scalia. When Congress
passed this legislation, I assume
it did so because it thought that
the value of the awards that these
courageous members of the
armed forces were receiving was
being demeaned and diminished
by charlatans. Thats what Con-
gress thought, Scalia said.

HARVEYSLAKEAconsultant
spoke to borough council and resi-
dents Tuesdaynight about thepro-
posed floating wetland islands.
Fred Lubnow, Ph.D., director of
aquatic programs for Princeton
Hydro of Pennsylvania and New
Jersey, said the islands, which are
made of recycled plastic, come in
three different sizes. The 5-foot
and 60-foot islands are globular in
shape, whilethe250-square-foot is-
lands are more rectangular with
curves, giving them the most nat-
ural appearance.
Lubnow noted three benefits
theislands wouldbringtothelake.
One is nutrient removal, with
eachislandremoving10 pounds of
phosphorous per year. One pound
of phosphorous can generate1,100
pounds of algae.
The islands would enhance fish-
ing in the area and aid in native
vegetation growth.
The islands would be anchored
in place by cinder block and rope.
Residents could ask to have an is-
land placed near their property.
The islands can last for up to 10
years.
Lubnowalso noted the borough
is able to secure grants for its pro-
jects because Harveys Lake is con-
sistent in maintaining its structur-
es. Once the boroughhas complet-
ed a model for reducing phospho-
rous in the lake, it will become
eligible for funding to begin a
dredging project. With two more
grants to go, the phosphorous re-

end of 2012.
Resident Carole Culver said she
was unhappy with the recycling
pickup. Culver said she takes the
time to sort out and tie the news-
papers, only to find that they are
mixed in with the regular trash.
Councilwoman Amy Williams
agreed with Culver.
Councilwoman Michelle Boice
voiced her disappointment with
stateRep. KarenBobacks decision
to vote in favor of the gas drilling
bill. This bill took away any rights
the boroughhadinregards todrill-
ing, said Boice, who added the bill
is a gift to the gas industry, but a
slap to the citizens.
She urged all residents to get in-
volvedwiththis issue, andsaidthe

LARKSVILLE Attorney Joseph
Terrana prefacedtheboroughcoun-
cil meetingTuesdaynight sayinghe
wasreadytohelptheboroughapply
for grants should the need arise.
He must have had a moment of
clairvoyance because, after he sat
down, engineer Paul Pasonick of
Penn Eastern Engineers gave the
council mem-
bers a list of
proposed op-
tions to fix a
sewage prob-
lem that has
troubled the
borough
since the
1970s.
Each option, ranging from
around $1 million to $1.3 million,
gave council President Joseph Ro-
manoskey what he called a little
sticker shock.
ThestateDepartmentof Environ-
mental Protection is requiring the
borough to install sewer lines for
five homes in Valley View Estates,
an area developed after Tropical
Storm Agnes flooded the Susque-
hanna in1972.
Borough Solicitor Jack Haley
said freestanding sewage treatment
apparatus was installed, but never
powered.
Right now, the sewage is just
pumping into an open field and
state officials are nowrequiring the
borough to do something about it.
He said in a situation like this,
when the developers have gone
bankrupt, responsibility defaults to
the municipality, at whichpoint Ro-
manoskeysaiditjustcannotitafford
right now.
Pasonicks teamhas been survey-
ing the area near the estates since
last August and he said installing
sewerlinesistheonlychoice. Anon-
site systemcant be usedbecause of
unfavorable soil conditions.
He said state officials have set an
April 28 deadline, but added later
that theywouldmost certainlymiss
it.
Romanoskey said the cheaper fix
wouldtakecareof thefivehomes in
question, but if officials choose a
more expensive option, they can
add an additional 28 homes to the
lines and gain property tax.
State Rep. Gerald Mullery, who
was in attendance, offered his help
indealingwiththestateofficialsand
encouraged the council not to fear
the deadline.

place. Field tests showed the
substance tested positive for
heroin, police said.
Musial and Atherton were

The Wilkes-Barre City councilman who represents
the section of the city where Meyers High School
stands was among many people to voice concerns
Tuesday night that closing the school would be detrimental to the
neighborhood, especially if the building were to be vacant for an
extended time.
Those cash-back plans
could add to credit woes
B
eware the Bank of America ploy:
Getting as much as 3 percent cash
back on things such as gas, groceries
and retailers seemingly is another attempt
to get you to spend more, pay more and go
farther into the credit card hole.
Lets look at a simple scenario: 3 percent
cash back on gas sounds pretty good. Put
$30 in the tank, save 90 cents. Youve spent
only $29.10! OK, still feel good about that
3 percent? Put $45 in the tank, save $1.35.
Or how about that hefty grocery bill? You
see, the credit card company has you put-
ting higher balances on your account and
potentially paying as high as 30 percent
interest, thinking youll be getting this load
of money back, only to realize its pennies.
And we should not forget these are the
same outfits charging monthly debit card
fees, absurd interest rates (now finally
capped), gross penalty fees and so on.
Thinking you should spend to stimulate
the economy? Great, but spend it on re-
sources that promote community, future
domestic investments or schools.
Also, think you should save a certain
percentage of your income? Good think-
ing! Save for your or your childrens future.
So please dont be fooled by Bank of
America and other companies that attempt
to put any more of your hard-earned mon-
ey back into their deep pockets.
Remember the bailout? We dont owe
them any favors.

Support of candidate
seen as political ploy
I
am responding to the letter to the editor
Kaufer praised as 120th candidate by
Jack Schumacher on Feb. 12.
Jack Schumacher apparently is up to his
old tricks again. Hes seemingly using his
petty position on the Kingston council to
push his friends up the political ladder.
Why in the world would the voters in
the 120th District want to replace a hard-
working, efficient, experienced and knowl-
edgeable state representative with a
school boy?
Im sure Mr. Aaron Kaufer is very bright
and honorable; but in the real world of
politics, nave idealism cannot replace
practical wisdom. Winning academic hon-
ors and essay contests is commendable.
But how is that going to solve the real
issues confronting our region and our
state?

ITS HARD to fathom why
the Republicans would want
to launch a sustained assault
on birth control, align them-
selves with the most conser-
vative voices in the Catholic
Church and thereby risk
alienating women voters in November. But,
hey, if thats how they want to play it, Barack
Obama is only too happy to reap the benefits.
Ive been puzzled for weeks by all the talk
about how Obama has supposedly blown it
with Catholic voters after requiring that
many Catholic institutions offer free birth
control in their employee insurance plans.
Church leaders are naturally upset, but they
dont speak for most Catholics on the issue of
contraception. And Republicans, eager to gin
up anything against Obama now that the
economy is improving, are naturally cranking
up the hyperbole about a supposed war on
religion, but they too seem blind to how
most Catholic women conduct their private
lives.
The nonpartisan Guttmacher Institute,
which tracks reproductive health in America,
reported last year that 98 percent of sexually
active Catholic women have used some form
of contraception. That figure is not a mis-
print, and church leaders never mention it.
Not even Rick Santorum who lectures us
that sex is moral only in the making of babies
has bothered to dispute it.
Republicans might want to splash their
faces with this cold water: In the newly re-
leased New York Times/CBS News poll,
when Catholics were asked whether they
support or oppose a recent federal require-
ment that private health insurance plans
cover the full cost of birth control for their
female patients, 67 percent voiced support,
and only 25 percent voiced opposition. And
when Catholics were asked, more specifically,
whether such a requirement should apply to
religiously affiliated hospitals and universi-
ties, 57 percent said yes and only 36 percent
said no.
That sentiment should not be a surprise,
given the realities of life that have been over-
looked in the current uproar. The largest
Catholic college in America, DePaul Uni-
versity, routinely offers birth-control coverage
among its employee benefits. Indeed, 28
states already require that insurance compa-
nies cover birth control for all employers;
some of those states dont exempt any reli-
gious employers, not even churches.
So what Obama is doing, in accordance
with the federal health-reform law, is nothing
new. And when he tweaked his requirement
on Feb. 10 Catholic institutions dont have
to pay for the coverage; that will be borne by
the insurance companies he won support
from the Catholic Health Association (600
hospitals and 1,400 health-care facilities),
Catholics Charities, the Association of Jesuit
Colleges and Universities, and the Sisters of
Mercy of the Americas.
Obamas policy is grounded in a very sim-
ple principle: If a faith-affiliated institution
serves the general public, receives public
money and hires workers from outside the
faith, then it should abide by the rules that
apply to everybody else.
Its hardly a shock to discover, courtesy of
Gallup, that Obamas support among Catholi-
cs has barely budged since he launched his
purported war on religion. Its important to
note this, because Catholics are potentially
pivotal in a number of swing states, including
Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Ohio and Nevada.
They appear not to have been swayed by the
rhetorical attempts to equate Obama with
Hitler or Torquemada.
Blessedly, most Americans have been
immune to the loose talk, simply because its
so preposterous. Last week, when Sean Han-
nity assembled a panel of conservative reli-
gious leaders to condemn Obamas birth-
control policy (naturally, the panel was 100
percent male), one guy quoted the famous
Martin Niemoller poem that condemned the
German clergy for staying mum during the
Nazi era. That stuff might be good for the
ratings, but it strains credulity to believe that
swing voters will view Obamas defense of
women as the first step toward fascist geno-
cide.
So the political question that has dom-
inated debate this month (Is Obama in
trouble with Catholics?) is actually the
wrong question. We should be asking wheth-
er Republicans are in deep trouble with wom-
en, because the perplexing decision to stress
religious rights at the expense of womens
lives is potentially a huge political loser.

COMMENTARY
D I C K P O L M A N
T
O ANYONE watching
the Republican presi-
dential debates withno
prior knowledge of the
candidates, Rick Santorum
would have a natural appeal.
Hes telegenic, good on his feet,
well-versed in issues, personable
in manner and adept at disman-
tling his opponents without
sounding mean.
But Santorums greatest asset
is Mitt Romney, who has not
been able to generate broad-
based enthusiasm among Re-
publican voters.
AnEconomist/YouGovpoll of
Republicanvoters foundthat on-
ly28percent regardRomneyas a
conservative.
Thats a problem in a party
that has moved steadily to the
right in recent years. Its not a
problem, however, for Santo-
rum, whoqualifies as aconserva-
tive with 76 percent of Republi-
cans. Yet the conservative
themes that have served him
well so far might be a fatal hand-
icap in the general election if
not sooner. Often, Santorum
seems tobealmost tryingtogive
ammunitiontothosewhoregard
him as a right-wing extremist.
Hes asserted the right of
states to ban
contraception
and sodomy,
though the
Supreme
Court has
ruled the op-
posite. His
2005 book It
Takes a Family accusedradical
feminists of convincing wom-
en that professional accomplish-
ments are the key to happiness.
He accuses President Barack
Obama of advancing the agenda
of radical environmentalists.
He says that if Republicans lose
this election, It will be the end
of thegreat experiment intheor-
der of liberty and freedom. He
warnedthat anuclear Iranmight
carry out an attack on North Da-
kota.
Comments such as these
might rousetheGOPsmost con-
servative partisans, but they of-
fer a vast bounty of material for
Democratic attackads. Andthey
raise fears among other Repub-
licans that Santorums uncom-
promisingapproachwill repel in-
dependent voters and disgrun-
tled Democrats.

M
OTORISTS stung
by rising gas prices
might be on their
own in the short
term, but its vital that they
learnhowtocope for the sake
of their household budgets as
well as the nations fragile eco-
nomic recovery.
The early arrival of spring-
time price increases at the gas
pump is being fueled
byfactors beyondthe
control of most con-
sumers.
There are fears
stemming from ten-
sions in the Mideast
over Irans nuclear
aspirations, as well as specula-
tion involving crude oil prices.
Even without an escalation of
the Iranian situation, the 10
percent increase in gasoline
witnessed so far this year looks
to be in place for some time,
analysts say.
But if those developments
help jolt Americans back to re-
alityabout thewaytheycontin-
ue touse a finite resource thats
only available in a volatile mar-
ket, then the price spikes at
least will have had some posi-
tive impact.
Drivers know the drill, since
theyve seen gasoline prices
headfor $4 before: It means be-
ing less cavalier about extra
road trips, exploring carpool-
ing, switching to mass transit
or even inflating the tires on
that old bicycle.
Using less gas is consumers
best weapon against higher
prices. And if they can travel
smarter, going fewer miles
doesnt have to mean that the
rest of the econo-
my suffers par-
ticularly the criti-
cal retail sector.
Of course, driv-
ing the most fuel-
efficient vehicle is
the best long-term
strategy for keeping more dol-
lars in consumers hands to
spend on things besides gaso-
line. According to Temple Uni-
versity small-business expert
WilliamC. Dunkelberg, a $1in-
crease at the pump means that
consumers have $20 million
less in their shopping budgets
each day.
The nations switch to small-
er and hybrid vehicles has
come in fits and starts, but it
makes more sense than ever as
both the price and supply of
gasoline are strained.

Gabby looks like Gus with a
bad woodchuck wig.
No word if Gus will try to latch
on with a casino, the Phillies

More likely Gus will wind up

Ive never been hunting and
dont recall ever holdinga gun.
But despite a healthy anti-gun at-
titude, I find myself with an urge
to shoot something for the first
time in my life. Gus the Ground-
hog must die.
Thomson explained that Gus
was too good at parting people
from their money.
For the fiscal year that ending
in June, instant games account-
ed for nearly $2 billion of the
Pennsylvania Lotterys total rev-
enue of $3.2 billion.
We think the new commer-
cials will cost less, but it really
depends on the evolution of the
new campaign, Roberts said.
Gus spots typically cost
$300,000 to $400,000 just to pro-
duce, and non-Gus spots are
more like $250,000, she said.

Ronald G. Ru-
man, press secre-
tary for the Penn-
sylvania Department of State,
said his office is not permitted to
give legal or advisory opinions on
campaign finance reports and
what spending is allowed.
He said the state code should
guide committees.
Legal expenses are a permitted
expense under campaign finance
lawinPennsylvania. ThePennsyl-
vania Code states: Expenses, le-
gal counsel, incurredingoodfaith
inconnectionwithanyprimaryor
elections.
Stilp is challenging whether
Mellows expenditures meet
those requirements.
Whether Mellow, who retired
at the end of 2010 after represent-
ing his Northeastern Pennsylva-
nia district for 40 years, could
spend money on legal fees in a
year he is not running would be a
determination for department
lawyers. But they wouldnt get in-
volvedunlessacitizenfiledacom-
plaint.
Thats why Stilp said hes act-
ing.
Ruman, pointing out he was
speaking specifically on the Mel-
low campaign, said that if some-
one were to file a complaint ques-
tioning a reports legality, his of-
fice would reviewit. If a violation
werefound, it wouldbeforwarded
to the Attorney Generals Office
for review.
He said his office is not permit-
ted to acknowledge whether a
complaint was receivedor if a vio-
lation was forwarded to the attor-
ney general.
Stilp, who is also a Democratic
candidate for U.S. Congress, hop-
ing to unseat Rep. Lou Barletta in
the 11th District, said he wasnt
about to let his duties as a govern-
ment watchdog fall by the way-
side as he campaigns.
You cant stop being a citizen
just because youre in a cam-
paign, Stilp said.
While in office, Mellow repre-
sented all of Lackawanna County,
a part of Monroe County and the
boroughs of Avoca, Dupont and
Duryea in Luzerne County.
Last February, in an opinion is-
sued by a three-member panel of
the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Ap-
peals, it was disclosed Mellow
was thefocus of afederal probein-
to alleged extortion, money laun-
dering and fraud.
The opinion was issued as part
of a dismissal of Mellows appeal
for the return of evidence taken
fromhis home and office.

Tuesdays meetingwas heavy on
public comment from school sup-
porters andlight onactual informa-
tion fromthe report.
Supervisor of Curriculum An-
drewKuhl gave an overviewof nu-
merous potential space problems if
the Meyers students were split
equallyamongremainingschools
primarily Coughlin and GAR high
schoolsbut didnt delveintocosts
and other details.
Details fromreport
The report itself lists the costs of
physically keeping the building
openlast year: $403,771forelectric-
ity, water and sewage, routine
maintenance, insurance, supplies
and gas for heating; $247,185 for
custodian pay and benefits.
But it makes onlya general refer-
ence to potential reduction in
staff.
The report offers one example,
theEnglishDepartment at Meyers,
where the equivalent of 9.5 teach-
ers handle 26 classes for grades
nine through 12 and 14 classes in
grades seven and eight. Three
teachers work on graduation pro-
jects, one on projects with gifted
students, one as activities adviser,
oneasbuildingchairandtwohand-
ling duty assignments.
Estimating reduction is staff is
difficult because there is no way of
knowing howmany classes in vari-
ous subjects would have to be add-
edinremainingschoolswithout ac-
tually drawing up schedules.
That scheduling is done primar-
ily by a computer program each
year designed to determine what
students will attend which classes
in which periods.
Scheduling issues
The report notes merging
Meyers into other schools could
cause major problems in that
scheduling, particularly at GAR.
The report estimates that sched-
uling conflicts would develop for
roughlyone-quarterof thestudents
in grades nine through 12. At
Coughlin High School, scheduling
conflicts could develop for 5 to 20
percent of the students, depending
on the grade.
The conflicts arise most often in
attempting to schedule electives,
Namey said, and can often be alle-
viated by shifting required classes
to a different period of the day.
Say you have a second-period
English class and it creates a lot of
conflicts, Namey said. Moving it
to fourth period may easily reduce
those conflicts by half. But by the
same token, you may make the
move and find it creates more con-
flictsinanotherarea. Itsall likeput-
ting pieces of a puzzle together.
And in this case, its a lot of piec-
es. The report includes 13 pages of
data showing how many students
takeeachcourseineachof thethree
high schools, how many sections
thereareforthat course, andtheav-
erage number of students per sec-
tion.
To give a rough idea of the im-
pact of closing Meyers, the chart
lists the average number of stu-
dents for each course for the entire
district, and how that average
would change if Meyers students
were moved into existing classes
without anychangesinthenumber
of sections in each subject not
something the district would ac-
tually do, but it does give a feel for
the magnitude of the problem.
Some courses would barely be
impactedandlikelynotneedtoadd
newsections.
Advanced English in ninth
grade, for example, would increase
fromanaverageof15to18students.
But other courses would see un-
acceptable growth. French 2 aver-
ages wouldclimb from19 to 57, In-
trotoPsychologywouldjumpfrom
24.6 to 41, and morning physical
education would rise from 36 to
52.5.
Andthatsjustforregularclasses.

tion thanks to state law regarding

An estimated 16 prison union
workers are slated for layoff.
In addition, the union wants
no layoffs, furloughs or job elim-
inations of non-probationary
union workers for budgetary rea-
sons through the rest of the con-
tract, or until Dec. 31, 2013, the
tentative agreement says.
If the county decides to recall
any prison workers who were
laid off, the five probationary
union workers must return to
work before three management
prison workers who also are slat-
ed for layoff, the agreement says.
Violations could require the
county to retroactively repay the
3 percent raise, the agreement
said.
County and prison representa-
tives arent discussing specifics
pending the executive session.
The commitment to ban fur-
ther layoffs could be a stumbling
block because council members
already publicly stressed more
cutbacks are expected in 2013, in
part because this years option of
tapping $1.4 million in past bor-
rowed funds to help repay debt
wont be available again.
The 2012 county budget con-
tains a 2 percent tax hike and re-
quires a projected 56 layoffs
throughout county government.
Generally speaking, prison
unionheadTony Seiwell saidthe
pay raise forgiveness by the
unions roughly 300 members
would save about $400,000.
Seiwell said prison employees
approached him about conces-
sions, and the majority voted to
give up something because they
are concerned about their work-
ingenvironment andsavingjobs.
Safety is the big issue. There
are ramifications huge ramifi-
cations if these layoffs were to
go through, Seiwell said.
He said the workers decision
to sacrifice a guaranteed benefit
speaks volumes.
It is something of real signif-
icance theyre doing, Seiwell
said. They work in a place
where their lives are on the line
every day, and these changes
would greatly up the danger fac-
tor for them.
He could not recall another in-
stance in recent years of union
employees giving up a contrac-
tual benefit.
Former county chief clerk/ad-
ministrator Gene Klein said all
countyunions agreedtosacrifice
contractual payraises oneyear in
the early1990s, when the county
struggled with budgetary issues.
It got us through the year.
Kleinsaid, notingthecountyhad
fewer unions at that time.
Several county council mem-
bers welcomed the prison
unions concession efforts and
said they hope it inspires other
unions to propose options before
contracts expire.

and is now out of money.
Prior commissioners agreed to
provideanother $1millionincom-
munity development funding for
demolition, with the idea some of
the countys investment will be re-
couped when the vacant parcel is
sold.
Wilkes-Barre condemned the
structure and would likely have to
pay for demolition and put a lien
on the property if the county
doesnt assist.
Linda McClosky Houck is al-
so unsure about the countys fur-
ther involvement, particularly if
the county will assume ownership
and costs that would start impact-
ing the general fund operating
budget, which hasnt happened to
date. Shes worriedthecountywill
encounter unforeseen demolition
expenses after the tear-down be-
gins.
She doesnt believe the building
in its current state is worth the in-
vestment of mothballing, especial-
ly since CityVest had no success
attracting a private-sector devel-
oper.
StephenA. Urbansaidseveral
historic buildings are already
mothballed, including three close
to the Sterling: the chamber-pur-
chased Sterling annex and Irem
Temple mosque and the county-
owned former Springbrook Water
Co. building.
The county is already investing
in restoration of the historic Mar-
ket Street train station for county-
related offices, he said.
We cant save everything, he
said.
County involvement is neces-
sary because Wilkes-Barre wont
beabletocomeupwiththe$1mil-
lion to tear down the Sterling, he
said.
TimMcGinleysaidadecision

CityVests insurance coverage on

have to pay for continued mainte-
nance and liability if it is not de-
molished.
There hasnt been a viable de-
velopment situation for that prop-
erty in over a decade, he said.
Rick Morelli believes moth-
balling will cost more than demo-
lition and doesnt want to delay
the project.
Morelli said he has supported
historic restoration as a school
board member when it made
sensebut believes theSterlingsite
will be more marketable without
the structure.
Its a prime piece of real estate
the county will own, and moth-
balling the building could prevent
investors fromcoming in and put-
ting what they want on the site,
he said.
Harry Haas at minimum
wants to obtain a cost estimate to
stabilize and mothball it.
If we could just preserve it for
private industry to come in when
the economy improves, I think
thats what the public wants, he
said.
Stephen J. Urban said the
buildingisasafetyhazardandeye-
sore and said officials cant turn
the clock back to when the struc-
ture was worthy of mothballing.
We cant spend all that money
on mothballing. Youve got to be
realistic here, he said.
Eugene Kelleher said he
would consider obtaining a price
on mothballing, though he thinks
it would be pricier than demoli-
tion.
My feeling right now is that
shes seen her day, and it probably
ought to come down, he said of
the Sterling.
Rick Williams wants to know
what it would cost to come up
with an estimate to stabilize and
mothball the structure. Council
could then weigh whether an as-
sessment of that option is worth
the investment, he said.

T
he NCAA reprimanded long-
time basketball official Karl
Hess for ejecting a couple of
hecklers.
Too bad.
Because instead of scolding Hess,
basketballshould be applauding him.
Its hard for Hess to find much cheer
these days, after being booed, badgered
and bullied for his decision to toss Tom
Gugliotta and Chris Corchiani from
their seats Saturday during a North
Carolina State home game.
The fact they were former Wolfpack
stars who went on to play in the NBA
fueled the outrage.
But maybe if their antics werent so
outrageous, Hess a Shickshinny na-
tive who played under the great Eddie
Gayeski at Northwest wouldnt have
felt compelled to remove Gugliotta and
Corchiani from the RBC Center, North
Carolina States home arena.
Apparently, these two former college
greats, who once brought North Car-
olina State so much glory their jerseys
hang in their old gyms rafters, have
aged into glorified goons.
Corchiani admitted as much, telling
CBSSports.com he not only got all over
Hess with his heckling Saturday. He
apparently does this to just about every
official nearly every game he attends at
North Carolina State in a pathetic
effort to manufacture some sort of
home court advantage.
Who goes to games just to rag the
ref?
Apparently a couple of North Car-
olina State has-beens still trying to
re-live their own past from the stands.
Whats alarming to me is they ad-
mitted they do that frequently, current
Northwest coach Jerry Blazick said.
From what Ive read, it seems to me
Gugliotta and Corchiani were infamous
for that.
If that is the case, you could see
Karls point on that.
Nearly 15 years passed from the time
Hess graduated Northwest in 1978 to
when Blazick started at the school as a
freshman in 1992, so the two dont
know each other real well.
But Blazick does know fans some-
times get carried away and cross the
line, whether theyre former big names
coming back to watch a Division I
college game or regular Joes at a Divi-
sion III or high school game.
Id be lying if I said my emotions
didnt sometimes get the best of me,
Blazick said. I, as a coach, feel like I
get a little more rope. But I am the one
working in the trenches. Fans are not
in the trenches. They need to separate.
When youre a fan, you dont get that
rope. Most of them really dont have a
more vested interest.
Some of them dont really care about
self-control.
But theres a difference between
showing passion for your team and
acting like a punk. Whatever happened
to sportsmanship?
In his 16th season of officiating col-
lege basketball, Hess deserved better
than a game of rip-the-ref. Especially
from two high-profile athletes who
should know better.
Hes probably run into these guys
before, Blazick suggested. He prob-
ably cut them some slack and decided
enough was enough.
Maybe Guliotta and Corchiani just
didnt remember enough. Maybe they
forgot the lessons they they learned
playing under the classy Jimmy Valva-
no, who coached winners at North
Carolina State. He won not only
through his inspirational spirit but also
with so much dignity before cancer
took his life in 1993.
All Hess did was remind them that
boorish behavior like riding the ref can
get you a quick ride home.

One of his favorite tracks, the place
forever linked to his family name, had

Junior disliked every aspect of the
newfangled tandem racing at NAS-

ing, the feeling of not being in total con-
trol andthe needfor constant communi-
cation.
It was a foolish freakin race, he said
after a 19th-place finish.
His outlook has changed considera-
blysince. BetweensomeNASCAR-man-
dated changes, results during testing
and 54 wild laps in the exhibition Bud-
weiser Shootout, Earnhardts concerns
have been alleviated.
Now, he might even be considered a
front-runner heading into todays qual-
ifying race and Sundays season-open-

I do feel like I have a better shot at
winning in this current style of racing,
Earnhardt said Wednesday. I do feel
more confident than I did coming down

different style of racing and its not what
I enjoyed.

DALLAS-- For the first time since Scranton
left the league, a new Freedom Conference
womens basketball champion will be
crowned.
Misericordia ensured that on Wednesday,
endingDeSales four-year reignas conference
champs with a 62-46 win in the semifinals at
the Anderson Center.
The effort we gave at the defensive endto-
night was great, Cougars interim coach
Dave Martinsaid. DeSales is a great team.
(The coaches) prepared, but (the players)
gave the effort. To hold anybody to 46 in a
conference semifinal, I couldnt be prouder.
The Cougars (16-10) avenged a loss in last
years titlegameat DeSales andwill nowhave
a chance to win their first Freedom Confer-
ence championship at 1 p.m. Saturday. They
will make the trip down to Wilkes-Barre for a
rematch against area rival Kings, which
avoided a near-upset by Eastern in the nights
other semifinal.
Misericordia and Kings split the regular-
season series, with the home team winning
both games. The Cougars are the only team
to beat Kings in league play this season.
Getting to this point, however, required a
strong showing against perennial power De-
Sales.
When the Bulldogs (15-11) jumped on top
35-34 with a three-pointer midway through
the second half, the Cougars fired right back.
A three from junior reserve Kayla Sileo ig-
nitedan13-0 runthat put Misericordia ontop
for good. Alate DeSales run only managed to
close the gap to six points, and the Cougars
were on to the finals.
Abigreasonfor it was junior HannahSeely,
who came through with 15 points and eight
rebounds. When DeSales made its charge,
pulling within 47-41, it was Seely who put a
stop to it witha three-point play that restored
the cushion.
Seely, who battledanankle injury earlier in
the month, has been an important factor in
the Cougars run to the conference finals.
Shes ridiculous, Martin said. She is so
athletic and she is so tough. She is a warrior,
and I mean that in the true sense. I knew she
was a tough kid, but I didnt knowhowtough
until I started coaching her.
The ankle injury that she had, our athletic
trainers werent sure shed be back for the
playoffs. And shes been back for a week-and-
a-half now. Shes a competitor andshes a win-
ner.
Senior Christine Marks turned in her typ-
ical double-double, leading all players in
points (18) and rebounds (16), wearing down
the Bulldogs late in the game.
Junior guard Tyann McDaniel scored 16,
knocking down 4-of-5 shots from behind the
arc.
Misericordia got the first surge of the
night, fending off DeSales up-tempo attack
with an 11-0 run, blanking the Bulldogs for a
stretch of eight minutes for a 23-14 lead.
With the long scoring drought, the Bull-
dogs were unable to set up their press on de-
fense, keeping them out of rhythm at both
ends of the court.
But the defending champs recovered in the
final three minutes as a Sondrine Glovas
three turned everything around. By halftime,
the Cougars lead had dwindled to just 25-24,
putting things in doubt until late in the sec-
ond.
Its great to be playing for a champion-
ship, Martin said. These kids deserve it.
They really do.

WILKES-BARRE Staring up at a score-
boardshowingless thana half a minute left in
the regulation, Wilkes Jourdon Wilson made
sure that if nothing else it would at least read
as a tie game before those final seconds wore
out.
WithEasternholdinga two-point lead, Wil-
son raced from one end of the court to the
other and flipped in a layup that tied the
game andforcedovertime. The Colonels con-
trolled the extra five minutes from the tip to
earn a 103-98 win over Eastern in a Freedom
Conference semifinal contest.
Wilkes (17-8) advances to Saturdays Free-
dom Conference championship against Mi-
sericordia, the top seed in the conference.
The game will be played at Misericordia at 4
p.m.
It feels great right now, Wilson said of
winning and advancing. That shot felt good
to hit, but, we really played together and won
the game as a team.
While Wilsonalsoaddedthe first sixpoints
of theextraperiod, his teammates steppedup
down the stretch to knock down15 of 17 free
throws after the Eagles started fouling to try
to close its deficit.
It means so much to me right nowto be in
the championship andhave a chance to winit
and let the players decide that, Wilkes head
coach Jerry Rickrode said. Weve had some
opportunities in the past fewyears and come
up on the short end of the stick, but it feels
great for the players that have been here for
four years fighting for another chance.
One senior in particular who fought all
game long was Kendal Hinze.
Wilkes went to Hinze early in the game for
a 6-0 scoring spurt that gave Wilkes its big-
gest leadof the game at 23-15witheight anda
half minutes remaining in the first half.
Hes played a really efficient four years
here for us, Rickrode said of Hinze, who to-
taled 28 points and 14 rebounds. This year,
though, has been his best and his teammates
seethat, andnowtheyrereallyout their look-
ing for him early in the game to try and get
him going.
The Eagles (15-11) snapped out of a four-
minute long scoring drought with threes
from Mike Donatoni and Collin Whipple to
pull within four before Wilson answered with
a long trey.

The Lady Monarchs (22-4) won
the tip-off to begin the game, but
not muchelsewent theirwayearly

with its shooting and failed to get
on the board until a Marissa Man-
ningthree-pointer cut the Eastern
lead to 5-3.
With 8:47 left in the first half,
Paige Carlin stole the ball and ran
downthecourt foraneasylayupto
bring Kings to within one before
sinking a three-pointer to give
Kings its first lead of the game at
20-18.
Eastern refused to go away and
played Kings hard, just as the Ea-
gles did in both regular season
meetings, a pair of close Kings
wins. The Eagles rallied back and
finished the half with a 9-3 run to
gointothebreakwitha27-21lead.
The second half started off
much the same way, as the Lady
Monarchs struggled on offense.
Simcox and Brittany Muscatell

tion.

After BekahRolandput Eastern

sericordia and Wilkes split the
regular-season series with the
home team winning both
games.
The Cougars will enter the
contest on an 11-game winning
streak. But it was very much in
doubt late.
Backed by a small but vocal
busload of fans that made the
trip from New Jersey, the Dev-
ils carved out a 45-37 lead mid-
way through the second half.
But back-to-back three-point
plays by Joe Busacca and Steve
Artzerounian helped the Cou-
gars clawback into contention.
Then it was Slanovecs time
to shine.
The senior guard has, at
times, had to take a backseat in
the offense this season. But he
came through when Misericor-
dia needed him most, nailing
threes on consecutive posses-
sions.
Its not by accident. Hes
been working his tail off,
Woodruff said. Hes been
shooting for an hour a day min-
imum outside of practice. And
finally its good to see him
make a couple because hes
worked so hard.
It was Greenes turn after
that, knocking down two deep
shots of his own, and the Cou-
gars suddenly were up for good
with 7:10 to play.
Misericordia had entered its
final regular season game hav-
ing already wrapped up the top
seed. But all of the Cougars
starters played their usual min-
utes ina winat Manhattanville.
I wanted to come into today
having won a meaningful
game, Woodruff said. So I
tried to make it as important as
every other game in the year. I
knew that whoever we played
would be coming in off an emo-
tional high, having to win to
get in. And I didnt want them
to have that emotional edge.
Indeed, FDU (13-13) had to
win its last two games and four
of the last five just to reach the
tournament as the No. 4 seed
on tiebreakers.
The records didnt matter
from the outset Wednesday as
the Devils led for all but a few
minutes in the first half, shoot-
ing 48 percent from the field to
take a 33-29 lead into the lock-
er room. Misericordia scored
47 after the break to earn the
win.
Cougars senior Ethan Eich-
horst led all scorers with 23
points, adding nine rebounds.
Artzerounian scored 15, fol-
lowed by Busacca (13) and
Greene (10).

Abreu wants to be
an everyday player
TEMPE, Ariz. Bobby Abreu says
he wants to be an everyday player and
thinks the Los Angeles Angels should
trade him if he is going to spend most
of his time on the bench this season.
In a statement given to ESPNde-
portes on Wednesday, Abreu says trad-
ing him is the right thing for the An-
gels to do if there is no full-time posi-
tion for him.
Manager Mike Scioscia said he
doesnt expect Abreu to become a
distraction in the clubhouse but stop-
ped short of saying hell play every day.
With the addition of Albert Pujols,
Kendry Morales return from injury and
Mark Trumbos emergence last year, it
appears Abreu, who will turn 38 on
March 11, could lose significant playing
time this season.
YANKEES
Piniella hired by YES
NEW YORK Former Yankees
manager Lou Piniella has been hired by
the teams YES Network as a special
contributor.
Piniella will help with 20-30 events
this year, including some game tele-
casts. He also is with the team as a
spring training instructor in Tampa,
Fla., near his home.
A member of the Yankees World
Series-winning teams in 1977 and 78,
Piniella managed them from1986-87,
was general manager in 1988, then
returned to the dugout that year. He
managed Cincinnati from1990-92,
winning the Series in his first year,
then managed Seattle, Tampa Bay and
the Chicago Cubs.
He was an analyst on the teams
MSG Networks broadcasts in 1989.
Says Piniella: Its a thrill for me to be
involved with the New York Yankees
again and going back to my roots.
Nova: No lingering issues
TAMPA, Fla. Ivan Novas arm
feels fine, and he says there are no
aftereffects of the injury that cut short
his start in Game 5 of the AL division
series as the New York Yankees were
eliminated.
After leading major league rookies in
wins last season, Nova got the win in
the rain-interrupted opener against
Detroit. But he lost the series final,
leaving after just two inning because of
a strained flexor in his right forearm.
Nova healed without complications,
and the right-hander began throwing
off a mound well before spring training.
He was 16-4 with a 3.70 ERA in 27
starts and one relief appearance despite
spending most of July in the minor
leagues.
BRAVES
Uggla intent on better start
KISSIMMEE, Fla. Dan Uggla
hopes his second season with the At-
lanta Braves starts a lot better than the
first.
A year ago, Uggla reported to spring
training determined to impress his new
team after signing a $62 million con-
tract. But hed always been a slow start-
er, and the first three months of the
season were downright ugly. On the
Fourth of July, he was batting a puny
.173.
The next day, Uggla started a hitting
streak that lasted 33 games the
longest in Atlanta history. He was only
able to raise his average to .233 by the
end of the season, but he still led the
Braves with 36 homers and 82 RBIs.
With just a decent start, Uggla
knows he can do major damage in the
middle of the order.

during spring training Wednesday in

FORT MYERS, Fla. Kelly Shop-
pachspreparationforhisfirstseasonasa
catcher with the Boston Red Sox in-
cludes more than just getting to know
the pitching staff. He practically has to
learna different language.
He has to learnhowto speak Varitek.
For 15 years, Jason Varitek was the
voice in the Boston pitching staffs ear,
and the target behind the plate, giving
the Red Sox their hard-nosed, gritty
identitythat theyusedtowintwoWorld
Series titles.
Now, itappearsthaterahascometoan
end.
While other stars arrived early, ad-
dressed the media,
and have clearly
bought into Bostons
new regime desig-
nated hitter David Or-
tiz waltzed in on
Wednesday Varitek
has not shown up for
the first two days of
workoutsforRedSoxpitchersandcatch-
ers. General manager Ben Cherington
offered the soon-to-be 40-year-old cap-
tainaminor leaguedeal monthsago, but
still, Varitek is nowhere to be found.
His absence is taking some getting
usedtoaroundhere, andnoone is ready
to say for sure that they wont show up
early one morning at their shiny newfa-
cility and see Varitek with his crew cut
and goatee sitting in front of his locker
withbig bags of ice onhis shoulders and
knees andaheavywraparoundhis back.
If he doesnt come back, Imgoing to
miss him, said catcher Jarrod Saltala-
macchia, whostartedmost of the games
lastseasonbehindtheplate. Ilovedhav-
ing him. I wish he was still here. If he
does come back, its going to be fun.
So far, there is no sign that will hap-
pen. For the first time since 1996, the
year beforehewas acquiredfromSeattle
in a trade, Varitek wasnt in the bullpen
with the gear on. He wasnt there to
check on how committed the pitchers
werethroughthewinter. Hewasntthere
tohelpthemstart rampingupfor anoth-
er seasonwithhighexpectations.
HisabsencenowmakesOrtiz, 36, who
accepted Cheringtons arbitration offer
of a one-year, $14.5 million contract, the
oldest player onthe team.
Even though Varitek has played sec-
ond fiddle to Victor Martinez and Salta-
lamacchia over the last few seasons, he
has still held tremendous influence in
the clubhouse. Nowthe pitchers who so
relied on his scouting reports and guid-
ance have to establish newlines of com-
munication with Saltalamacchia and
Shoppach.
That was somethingthat Tekwas so
goodat, reinforcing something if I knew
it. Or if I didnt know it he would come
out and tell me, Hey this is what youre
doing, youre getting around the ball,
whatever, Red Sox ace Josh Beckett
said. Just tryingtoget those guys tosee
the same thing he saw.
It appears that Varitek has three op-
tions. He cantake the minor league deal
withtheRedSox, theonlyteamhesever
played for in the big leagues, try to con-
vinceanother organizationtogiveanag-
ing catcher with declining skills a
chance as a backup, or retire, like his
friend and long-time Boston leader Tim
Wakefielddidlast week.
He still has not made his intentions
known, and the Sox arent rushing him.
Theyreset at catcherwiththetwoveter-
ans andprospect RyanLavarnway being

CLEARWATER, Fla. An in-
juredRyanHowardclutchinghis
leg and writhing in pain on the
groundwas the lasting image for
the Philadelphia Phillies disap-
pointing 2011 finish.
The big slugger is doing much
better now, andhe was all smiles
after taking batting practice
Wednesday for the first time
since surgery to repair his torn
left Achilles tendon.
I feel good
where I am
right now,
Howard said.
I dont know
what everybo-
dy elses expec-
tations were
for me to be at
this point, but I
feel good. Not exactly where I
want to be yet. There is still a lot
of strengthening that needs to
take place, change of direction
and working on those kinds of
things.
But I feel all right.
Howardonly startedswinging
a bat less than two weeks ago,
and hes uncertain when hell re-
turn to his cleanup spot in the
Phillies lineup.
Im not going to put a time
limit on it. Im going to listen to
my body and see where we are,
Howard said. Obviously, the
goal is to want to get out there as
soon as possible, but at the same
time, with this, Imjust listening
to my body and it will let me
know when its ready. Ive been
talking with the training staff
and Ive been able to do some
things, taking some ground
balls, doing some hitting, doing
baseball-type movements.
Howard ruptured his Achilles
while making the final out in
Philadelphias 1-0 loss to St.
Louis in Game 5 of the NL divi-
sion series last October. It was
an awful way to end a season
that began with enormous ex-
pectations.
The Phillies set a franchise-re-
cordwitha major league-leading
102 wins and captured their fifth
straight NL East title, but again
fell short of winning their sec-
ond World Series championship
since 2008.
Howardalso made the last out
of the season in a 3-2 loss to San
Francisco in Game 6 of the 2010
NLCS. He took a called third
strike against Brian Wilson with
two runners on base.
I know how it looks to every-
body, like having the season
come down and youre the guy.
But I try to look at it positive
like, the last two seasons I got
out, I figure Im about due, Ho-
ward said.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. This could
be third baseman David Wrights last
spring training with the New York Mets,
a franchise coming off three straight los-
ing seasons and a payroll purge. Sur-
rounded by newcomers, the senior Met
must be feeling like the last man stand-
ing.
Thats what happens, Wright said
Wednesday. You dont have success, and
you get that turnover, and you see a lot of
these new faces.
Unlike departed fellow stars Jose
Reyes and Carlos Beltran, whether
Wright stays or goes might not be all
about the money. Beyond failures on the
field, the landscape is complicated by fi-
nancial turmoil related to ownerships in-
vestments in disgraced financier Ber-
nard Madoffs massive Ponzi scheme.
The Mets hold a $16 million option for
next season on the 29-year-old Wright,
whos coming off an injury-shortened
2011 that also was his worst offensively
since his rookie year in 2004. It was an
easier call cutting ties with Reyes and
Beltran, both of whomwere approaching
free agency and price tags that were less
clear.
General manager Sandy Alderson was
circumspect earlier in the week, saying
howthe Mets finish might not factor into
a decision on Wright.
Im not sure that thats very high on
the list, Alderson added. If theres any-
body on the team whose future is inde-
pendent of the clubs performance, I
think its David.
Wright does his best not to fret about
where he might end up.
That doesnt wear on me at all be-
cause its not my decision. I mean, you
try not to worry about things that are out
of your hands, Wright said. Its prob-
ably a better question for Sandy and the
front office.
Reyes signed a six-year, $106 million
deal with the Marlins and Beltran, dealt
to the Giants at the trade deadline, got a
two-year, $26 million deal with the Car-
dinals. Now, Wright will be playing
alongside 22-year-old rookie shortstop
Ruben Tejada.
The teams going to miss Jose, the or-
ganizations going to miss Jose, the fans
are going to miss Jose, Wright said.
Personally, Ill miss Jose.
But at the end of the day, thats the
business of the game.
Although he hasnt crunched the num-
bers, manager Terry Collins believes the
Mets have the youngest team in the ma-
jor leagues.
Others 25 or younger on opening day
include starting pitchers Dillon Gee and
Jonathan Niese, catcher Josh Thole, first
baseman Ike Davis and outfielder Lucas
Duda.
Collins was unhappy Wednesday that
Tejada wont arrive until Saturday due to
Visa issues in Panama but a day earlier
predicted that Tejada had a chance to
move really fast to be a special player.

Springs fun, he said. You get back
here andyoure startingover. Youre start-

seeing the differences of being ready to
come as a player and physically being
ready. I think this is more mentally being
ready to deal with 25 guys instead of just
dealing withyourself.

CLASS 4A
Outlook: Abington Heights (20-4) earned the top seed after winning both
halves of the Lackawanna League Division I season in playoffs over Scranton
Prep. The defending champs are looking for a third consecutive district title.
Wyoming Valley West (18-5) has won its last nine games, including the
playoff for the WVC Division I championship over Pittston Area 57-50.
Dark Horse: Hazleton Area (8-14) has won five of its last eight games after
a 3-11 start. The Cougars get a chance to avenge a 47-25 loss to Abington
Heights on Dec. 9 if they defeat Williamsport (9-12) in the quarterfinals.
Upset Special: Scranton (5-17) over Wallenpaupack (14-8). Its always tough
to beat a team three times in a season, and Wallenpaupack has two wins over
Scranton, by five and eight points, this season.
Best Opening Game: Hazleton Area vs. Williamsport. The lack of balance
elsewhere within the open-tournament bracket makes this the one by default.
Hazleton Area won their Jan. 14 meeting 46-32.
Prediction: Wyoming Valley West to defeat Abington Heights for a second
time in six weeks, but likely in a lower scoring game than their 70-62 show on
Jan. 23.
CLASS 3A
Outlook: A wide-open bracket features seven teams that won at least 65
percent of their games. While Scranton Prep (17-7) and Holy Redeemer (14-7)
hold top seeds from their leagues, the tourney features teams such as Nanti-
coke (21-2), winner of its last seven games, and Honesdale (19-5).
The balance goes into the matchups as well. Pittston Area defeated Nanti-
coke (46-41 on Dec. 20) and split two games with Holy Redeemer. Dallas (13-7)
defeated Scranton Prep (54-51 on Feb. 4) and split with Pittston Area, yet fell
51-47 to Crestwood (14-7) on Feb. 13.
Dark Horse: Valley View (11-12) by default. The Cougars are the only team in
the tourney with a losing record.
Upset Special: Crestwood over Honesdale. The Comets are a very good
team, but four of their losses came against teams in the bracket. Honesdale
did not qualify last year, so it lacks tourney experience.
Best Opening Game: Pittston Area (17-6) vs. Scranton Prep. The teams have
not met this season, but offer an impressive contrast. The Patriots average 55
points per game and can work inside or out. Prep is a defensive-minded squad
which allowed just 33 points per game over its final 12 outings.
Prediction: Nanticoke over Holy Redeemer. Just the two teams on the
biggest rolls entering the tourney. The Trojanettes can score from anywhere
(6.7 three-pointers per game and top scorer Katie Wolfe plays in the post) and
the Royals have top freshman Alexis Lewis (15.4 ppg) and a squad that offers
plenty of balanced support.
CLASS 2A
Outlook: Dunmore (21-3) and Montrose (20-2) sport gaudy records while
taking the top two Lackawanna League spots. Montrose has a 10-point win
over Dunmore to its credit, and the Bucks have defeated Holy Cross and Mid
Valley twice, as well as Class 3A Holy Redeemer.
But those two teams arent locks to reach the final. Montrose edged Holy
Cross by two points in an early-season meeting, and played a schedule with a
number of Class A teams and non-qualifying 2A teams on it. Dunmore has lost
to Riverside this season, and while its win over Holy Redeemer helps build the
resume, the Bucks might not have it as easy with the much-improved Royals if
there had been a rematch.
Dark Horse: Riverside (16-8) is the only team to defeat Dunmore in division-
al play over the past two seasons. The Vikings have also split with Mid Valley
this season.
Upset Special: Holy Cross (13-12) has already played Montrose close once (a
45-43 Montrose win), and coach Barry Fitzgerald (450-plus wins) knows how to
game plan.
Best Opening Game: Lake-Lehman (17-6) vs. Mid Valley (15-10). The Black
Knights had a 14-game winning streak snapped in the WVC Division III cham-
pionship game. Mid Valleys record is chock full of streaks.
Prediction: Riverside could be a shocker in the upper half of the bracket,
while last years state finalist Dunmore remains the power of the bottom half
of the bracket. The Bucks should win the district, and Lake-Lehman is in line
for one of the three state qualifying spots.
CLASS A
Outlook: Three teams start the tourney in the semifinals, and they make
up the three-team race for the title.
Forest City (11-11) had an 11-3 league record playing in Lackawanna Division III.
Old Forge (15-6), which already has a win over Blue Ridge, placed third in
Lacakwanna II.
Northwest (14-8) has wins over Meyers and Wyoming Seminary, both of
which are in the Class 2A brackets.
Dark Horse: Northwest. Old Forges schedule makes it the favorite in their
semifinal, but the Rangers have the top scorer in the WVC in Alivia Womels-
dorf (21.1 ppg).
Upset Special: MMI Prep over Forest City. MMI Prep (3-19) had 17 of its 19
losses by at least 15 points.
Best Opening Game: Blue Ridge vs. MMI Prep. Blue Ridge was the only
team to lose to Susquehanna, which opted out of the tourney. MMI Prep has
not beaten a District 2 team this season.
Prediction: Old Forge will pick up its second win of the season over Forest
City in the district final.

OKLAHOMA CITY Russell Westbrook
scored 31 points, Kevin Durant added 28
and the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the
Boston Celtics 119-104 on Wednesday night
for their 11th straight win at home.
Kevin Garnetts return after a two-game
absence wasnt enough to lift the Celtics,
who were still without point guard Rajon
Rondo as he served the second game of a
two-game suspension.
Paul Pierce and Garnett scored 23 points
apiece to lead Boston, and Garnett also had
13 rebounds after missing the previous two
games for personal reasons. The Celtics
head into the All-Star break on their second
five-game losing streak of the season, both
punctuated by losses to Oklahoma City.
Boston trailed by as many as 27 in the third
quarter before rallying to get within 108-102
after Pierces free throw with 3:31 left. Du-
rant banked in a pair of jumpers and hit two
free throws during an 11-2 run to close the
game for Oklahoma City.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. Tyler Hansbrough
had a season-high 22 points and nine re-
bounds as the Indiana Pacers continued
their dominance of the Charlotte Bobcats
with a victory.

CLEVELAND Chris Kaman scored 21
points and the New Orleans Hornets held
off a late Cleveland rally for a win over the
Cavaliers.
Rookie point guard Kyrie Irving, who
made several clutch plays in Clevelands
back-to-back one-point wins over Sacra-
mento and Detroit, was held to six points,
tying his career low that occurred in his
first NBA game against Toronto on Dec. 26.
Raptors 103, Pistons 93
TORONTO DeMar DeRozan scored
23 points, Aaron Gray set season highs with
12 points and 12 rebounds and the Toronto
Raptors snapped a three-game losing streak,
beating the Detroit Pistons.
Leandro Barbosa scored 17 points, James
Johnson had 15 and Amir Johnson added 11
for the Raptors, who had lost seven of eight
coming in.
Kings 115, Wizards 107
WASHINGTON Marcus Thornton
scored 18 of his 22 points in the second half,
rookie Isaiah Thomas had 16 of his 18 after
halftime, and the Sacramento Kings beat
the Washington Wizards in a nonstop
points-fest that looked like an All-Star game
preview minus the All-Stars.
Magic 108, Nets 91
NEWARK, N.J. Dwight Howard had 20
points and 17 rebounds and the Orlando
Magic rolled to a victory over the New
Jersey Nets on Wednesday night.
Howard, who can become a free agent in
July if the Magic dont trade him by the
March 15 trading deadline, got the loudest
cheers from the crowd of 15,364 in the pre-
game introductions.
Knicks 99, Hawks 82
NEW YORK Jeremy Lin had an easy
night ahead of his toughest opponent yet,
and the New York Knicks tuned up for their
trip to Miami by beating the Atlanta Hawks.
Lin had 17 points and nine assists, sitting
out most of the fourth quarter in a rare
game during his remarkable run that the
Knicks needed little from him.

The numbers can be mislead-

When the Wilkes-Barre/Scran-
ton Penguins power play failed to
connect on six opportunities dur-
ing a 3-0 lost at Albany last week-
end, on paper it appeared to be a
disaster.
But on the Penguins bench,
their power play was one of the
bright spots in a game which was
dominated by Albany goaltender
Jeff Frazee.
Why? Because the Penguins
power play didnt get outworked
and, as a result, generated mo-
mentum.
Head coach John Hynes said
its best when momentum is cre-
atedfroma goal, but a power play
tally isnt always necessity when
it comes to getting the team into
the game.
Sometimes it comes from a
minute-and-a-half intheoffensive
with three or four Grade A scor-
ing chances and theres energy
coming from your power play,
Hynes said after Wednesdays
practice. We rely on it consis-
tently producing momentum.
In the last 10 games, the Pen-
guins power play has consistent-
ly produced momentum and
points, converting nine of 43 op-
portunities for a 20.9 percent suc-
cess rate. During that span, the
Penguins man advantage has on-
ly failed to score in three games,
but twice it rebounded with a
pair of goals in the next contest.
Against Albany, we had a ton
of chances but just didnt score,
forward Geoff Walker said. The
next game we had two power
play goals, andwe were doingthe
same thing.
That means retrieving pucks,
getting them out to the points,
posting two big forwards in front
of the net and blasting away with
shots.
It all adds up to hard work, and
thats the only thingthe Penguins
can control when it comes to the
power play.
Andits a crucial element when
it comes to producing goals and
preventing them.
If your power play gets out-
worked, the other teamgains mo-
mentumbecausetheyoutworked
you, Hynes said. But if you out-
work the penalty kill, youre go-
ingtoget the offensive zone time,
scoring chances and a score.
As longas we continue tohave
the right mindset on the power
play, I dont see why it shouldnt
continue to produce.
Notes
The Penguins begin a three-
game home standtonight against
Manchester at 7:05. The Mon-
archs have lost their last five
games and currently sit in sev-
enth place in the conference
standings.
ThePenguins host Syracuseon
Saturday and wrap up the week-
end with a Sunday bout against
the Norfolk Admirals, who are
tied with the Penguins in points
(but have the edge in wins) to
lead the East Division.
Were fightingfor the division,
sowewant toget a wininthis one
(tonight) to get us going for the
weekend, Walker said. Weve
had a couple days to relax and we
hada goodpractice, so we should
be ready.
Bryan Lerg, Colin McDo-
nald, Ben Street and Matt Rust
sat out Wednesdays practice for
a rest day, Hynes said.
Pittsburgh reassigned Brad
Thiessen on Wednesday, a day af-
ter he was called up to serve as
Marc-Andre Fleurys backup in
Tuesdays game against the New
YorkRangers. EricTangradi, who
was alsorecalledonTuesday, was
still in Pittsburgh as of Wednes-
day.

Despite shutout, power play builds momentum

7:05 p.m. today
GRAPEVINE, Texas Before there
will be significant changes to college
footballs postseason and how to deter-
mine a champion, there are plenty of op-
tions to be considered.
Conference commissioners who run
the Bowl Championship Series are just
getting started on that process.
Were just trying to understand con-
ceptually what the pieces are. ... Its at
the very beginning, Big Ten Commis-
sioner Jim Delany said. While I think
people have a reasonable idea on the
range of whats under consideration, the
study and the inspection and under-
standing of that range I think is going to
be months in the making.
The11conference commissioners and
Notre Dames athletic director spent
two days meeting with BCS Executive
Director Bill Hancock at a hotel at the
Dallas-Fort Worth airport. They are
scheduled to meet there again March
26.
Hancock characterized the meetings,
which encompassed more than eight
hours over two days, as very, very, very
productive with great dialogue and
sharing of ideas. He wouldnt get into
specifics about what discussed.
They are determined to do whats
best for the game, Hancock said. Ev-
erything is still on the table and there
will be a time when they obviously have
to start taking things off the table. But
that point hasnt come yet.
In a joint statement posted on Face-
book even before they had emerged
fromtheir meeting room, the groupsaid
it had a self-imposed deadline of some-
time this summer to decide what
changes to propose.
The process could take much longer
to get finished.
No one really knows what the actual
drop-dead date is, said long-time WAC
Commissioner Karl Benson, who takes
over as the Sun Belts commissioner in
April.
As Delany described it, Nothing has
been ruled out, nothing has been ruled
in. ... This is going to be an extra-inning
game.
While there seems to be growing sup-
port for creating a four-team playoff to
determine a champion, howexactly that
would work remains to be seen.
But there alsoappears tobe some con-
fusion over what a plus-one model
would mean. Some attending the meet-
ing, again without being specific about
what they had discussed, indicated that
a plus-one model could be a singular
championship game played after all the
bowls when the top two teams would
then be determined.

PHILADELPHIA Temple and the
Big East are talking about the Owls
rejoining the conference as soon as
next season.
MAC Commissioner Jon A.
Steinbrecher said in a statement
Wednesday that his league is aware
that Temple has been in discussions
with the Big East regarding
membership.
A person familiar with the talks says
the school and the Big East are trying
to negotiate a deal that could have
Temple in the league for all sports by
next season. The person spoke
Wednesday to The Associated Press
on condition of anonymity because
the talks are still ongoing.
Temple played in the Big East in
football only from1991-2004, but was
forced out of the league. It played as a
football independent and eventually
landed in the Mid-American
Conference in 2007. The Owls other
sports programs, including mens and
womens basketball, are in the Atlantic
10.
The Big East has a vacancy next
season now that West Virginia is being
allowed to leave immediately for the
Big 12. The school and the conference
settled competing lawsuits last week.
The Big East will receive $20 million
dollars from West Virginia in return for
setting aside its 27-month notification
period.
The New York Times reported on
the talks between Temple and the Big
East earlier Wednesday.
MARANA, Ariz. Luke Do-
nald wont be playing the 18th
hole at Dove Mountain this year,
either.
Donald, so dominant in win-
ning the Match Play Champion-
ship last year that he closed out
every match before the18th hole,
became only the third No. 1 seed
to lose in the opening round
Wednesday in another predict-
ablycrazydayonDoveMountain.
ErnieEls, whoonlygot intothe
64-man field when Phil Mickel-
son took his family on a ski vaca-
tion, delivered the biggest shock-
er inthe first roundwitha 5-and-4
victory.
I dont think it would have
mattered who I played today. I
just didnt play well, Donald
said. I struggled. I gave away too
many holes and made too many
mistakes. You cant do that in
match play against anyone, let
alone Ernie.
Tiger Woods nearly found that
out against Gonzalo Fernandez-
Castano.
Woods had to play left-handed
in one of his three journeys into
the desert. He trailed the Spa-
niard with four holes to play, and
both of them looked beatable.
That changedwhenWoods drove
the par-515th green to win with a
two-putt birdie, wonthe16thwith
a par andthenclosedout the Spa-
niard with an 8-foot par putt for a
1-up win.
We both made our share of
mistakes, theres no doubt about
that, said Woods. But some-
how, I was able to move on.
That was the only objective in
this World Golf Championship, a
single-elimination format in
which the only proper use of the
wordupsetisthemoodof the32
guys who are headed home.
Among them:
Ian Poulter, the Match Play
winner twoyearsago, sufferedhis
worst loss in nine appearances
whenBae Sang-moonbeat him, 4
and 3.
Bill Haas, coming off that
monster win at Riviera just three
days ago, looked like a winner
when he was 1 up on the 17th
greenandhada 5-foot birdieputt.
Ryo Ishikawa holed from18 feet,
Haas missed, and the Japanese
star made par on the18th to win.
Inthemost thrillingmatchof
theopeninground, JimFurykwas
on the verge of sending Dustin
Johnsonhomeearlyfor thefourth
straight year when Johnson hit
his tee shot into the desert and
had to take a penalty drop on the
20th hole. Furyk chipped across
thegreenandthree-puttedfor bo-
gey to lose.
Rafael Cabrera-Bello was 3
upwiththreeholestoplayagainst
JasonDaywhenhebogeyedthree
straight holes, and Day beat him
with a 4-foot birdie putt on the
19th hole.
Theother topseeds didnt have
too many problems.

Jurorsfoundaformer University
of Virginia lacrosse player guilty
of second-degree murder
Wednesday in the drunken, jeal-
ousy-fueledslayingof his ex-girl-
friend, rejectingaverdict of first-
degreemurderandapossiblelife
sentence.
George Huguely V, 24, stood
straight, flanked by his attor-
neys, as jurors returned the ver-
dict after approximately nine
hours of deliberations. He was
convicted in the slaying of Year-
dleyLove, whowas foundblood-
ied, beaten and bruised in the
bedroom of her Charlottesville
apartment in the early morning
hours of May 3, 2010.
Huguely displayed no out-
ward emotion as the verdict was
read, while some sobbing could
be heard in the courtroomfilled
with family and friends of Love
andHuguely.
Jurors who returned the ver-
dict immediately began deliber-
ating a sentence, including a
guilty finding on a charge of
grand larceny. The second-de-
gree murder conviction calls for
a sentence of 5to40years, while
grand larcenys sentencing
rangeis1to20years. Formal sen-
tencingwill occur at alater date.
Prosecutors said Huguely, of
Chevy Chase, Md., killed the
U.Va. womens lacrose player af-
ter a day of golf and binge drink-
ing, incensed that she had had a
relationshipwithaNorthCaroli-
na lacrosse player. Loves right
eye was bashed in and she was
hit with such power, her brain
wasbruisedandshehadwrench-
ing head injury that caused
bleeding at the base of her brain
stem.
Acoroner concluded she died
of blunt force trauma. Defense
and prosecution experts offered
different medical opinions on
the lethal consequences of her
injuries.

Flight attendant jobs saved
American Airlines says that because
of job-sharing and other steps, it wont
have to furlough 500 flight attendants
this spring.
American said two weeks ago that it
planned to cut 500 flight attendants
because its flying less than it did a year
ago.
The company and the Association of
Professional Flight Attendants said
Wednesday the furloughs wont be
needed because so many workers
signed up for job-sharing and voluntary
leave.
The union called it tremendous
news for all of our members.
The good news is temporary, howev-
er. The furloughs were to be on top of
13,000 jobs that American still wants to
eliminate under a bankruptcy reorga-
nization plan.
Overdraft fees to be probed
The Consumer Financial Protection
Bureau said Wednesday it will investi-
gate overdraft charges on checking
accounts, including how they are mar-
keted and explained to customers. The
agency said the probe could result in
additional rules, perhaps even lawsuits.
Overdraft fees are charged when
customers try to spend more money
than they have in an account. Banks
will allow the transaction, then charge
a penalty of as much as $35.
Greece lowers expectations
Greece on Wednesday insisted a new
(euro) 130 billion ($172 billion) bailout
deal will bind it to the euro, but again
lowered expectations of recovery as it
faced skeptical world markets, contin-
ued protests and another downgrade of
its debt deeper into junk status.
As the government scrambled to
push new austerity measures, Finance
Minister Evangelos Venizelos said the
new rescue package approved by eu-
rozone countries would shield Greece
from default.
Dow falls day after 13,000
Stocks ended lower for the first time
in four trading days and a day after
briefly hitting their highest point in
nearly four years.
The Dow ended down about 27
points at 12,938. The day before, it
briefly passed 13,000 for the first time
since May 2008.
Some investors worried about the
details of the Greek bailout deal. But
analysts say investors were mostly in a
holding pattern after seeing the market
hit an important psychological mark.

BUSINESS S E C T I O N B

According to a New
York Times report,
Internet giant Google,
developer of the Goo-
gle Search Engine and
the Android Operating
System will soon be
releasing glasses that feature a Heads-
Up display, similar to high performance
aircraft and automobiles.
According to the report, soon could
mean as soon as the latter half of 2012.
This high-tech headwear will be power-
ed by Googles Android Operating Sys-
tem, feature 4G networking capabilities,
and cost between $200 and $700. The
glasses will also feature GPS and other
sensors, as well as a camera, micro-
phone and voice command capabilities.
For those of you who post everything
you do on Facebook or in Twitter
Tweets, this is probably the setup for
you. But it goes well beyond that.
These glasses seem designed from
the ground up to make Augmented
Reality programs (which overlay a
real-time image with additional data
such as contact information, photos,
etc.) quite a bit more useful.
Augmented Reality (AR for short)
programs allow you to do things like
locate WIFI hotspots or GPS points
that happen to be directly in front of
you, or walk into a crowded room, hold
up your phone, and get contact in-
formation for anyone that has a compat-
ible application. They can also be useful
for identifying landmarks, or even for
playing video games where enemies are
projected wandering around the halls of
your home. The downside is that you
need to wander around with a phone up
to your face, which many people find
slightly inconvenient. These glasses
aim to solve that by allowing you to
constantly have access to that informa-
tion. They have other potential utilities
as well teleprompters could become a
thing of the past, since the text for a
speech could simply scroll up the lenses
of your glasses. You could also follow a
map, or read emails in the same fash-
ion.
Futurists have long predicted that we
would start to integrate our computers
into our clothing. Smartphones and
Bluetooth devices were the tip of the
wedge. Accessories such as these glass-
es could indicate that their prognostica-
tions are beginning to come true. And,
while this may be a ways off, where
there are glasses, contact lenses are
sure to follow. While these cybernetic
spectacles arent for everyone, the fact
that such devices may be offered com-
mercially by a major company indicates
that Augmented Reality technology is
reaching maturity. With enough expo-
sure, it could become mainstream,
regardless of how farfetched it may
seem. Remember: Five years ago, QR
codes were considered quaint, and
now its nearly impossible to walk down
the street or open a newspaper without
seeing one.
Heads-Up from Google on its way

WASHINGTON President Barack
Obama onWednesday proposeda lower
corporate tax rate and an end to dozens
of loopholes he said helps companies
move jobs and profits overseas. Its not
right and it needs to change, he said.
The president wants to lower the cor-
porate tax rate from the current 35 per-
cent, the highest in the world after Ja-
pan. Under his plan, manufacturers
wouldreceive incentives sothat their ef-
fective tax rate could be even lower.
Obamas election-year plan would set
a new 28 percent corporate tax rate.
Its a framework that lowers the cor-
porate tax rate and broadens the tax
base in order to increase competitive-
ness for companies across the nation,
Obama said in a statement.
Corporations would have to give up
dozens of loopholes and subsidies. Cor-
porations with overseas operations
would also face an unspecified mini-
mum tax on their foreign earnings.
The proposal outlined by Treasury
Secretary Timothy Geithner would also
eliminate tax loopholes and subsidies
that Geithner calledfundamentally un-
fair.
Obama also wouldset a minimumtax
on the foreign earning of U.S. compa-
nies.
House Ways and Means Committee
Chairman Dave Camp, R-Mich., said he
appreciated the administrations plan,
though it set a corporate tax rate that is
higher than the 25 percent he has pro-
posed. He faulted Obama, however, for
not offering a wholesale overhaul of the
entire tax system for businesses and in-
dividuals.
President
seeks corp.
tax cutback

WASHINGTON The housing
market is flashing signs of health
ahead of the spring-buying season.
Sales of previously occupied homes
are at their highest level since May
2010. More first-time buyers are mak-
ing purchases. And the supply of
homes fell last month to its lowest
point in nearly seven years, which
could push home prices higher.
Sales have now risen nearly 13 per-
cent over the past six months. While
they are still well below the 6 million
that economists equate with a healthy
market, the gains have coincided with
other changes in the market that sug-
gest more sales are coming.
The trend is clearly upward, said
Ian Shepherdson, chief U.S. econo-
mist at High Frequency Economics.
The National Association of Real-
tors said Wednesday that re-sales in-
creased 4.3 percent last month to a
seasonallyadjustedannual rate of 4.57
million.
Single-family home sales rose 3.8
percent. And the number of first-time
buyers, who are critical to a housing
recovery, increased slightly to make
up 33 percent of all sales. Thats still
below 40 percent, which tends to sig-
nal a healthy market.
One concern is the market is still
saturated with homes at risk of fore-
closure, which lower broader home
prices. Those increased to make up 35
percent of sales.
But the supply of homes on the mar-
ket has plungedto2.3million, the low-
est level since March 2005.
But many deals are also collapsing
before they close. One-third of Real-
tors say theyve had at least one con-
tract scuttled over the past four
months. Thats up from 18 percent in
September.
Realtors say deals are collapsing for
several reasons: Banks have declined
mortgage applications. Home inspec-
tors have found problems. Appraisals
have come in lower than the bid. Or a
buyer suffered a financial setback be-
fore the closing.

As the wind
veers north of
west today, only
slightly colder
air will move in,
but there should
be enough sun-
shine to once
again elevate
temperatures
well above
normal. So far
this month, the
average temper-
ature is about
5.2 degrees
above normal,
which is a
substantial
margin in clima-
tological terms.
More rain mov-
ing in later
tonight will
precede another
cold wave
arriving this
weekend.
Beyond that,
temperatures
will start to
trend back
above normal
next week. When
our next storm
moves through
on Wednesday
and Thursday,
odds favor hav-
ing mostly rain.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: A low pressure system will bring rain and snow to portions of the Upper
Midwest today, while showers and isolated thunderstorms will extend from the Ohio and Tennessee
Valleys into portions of the Southeast. An associated frontal boundary will also produce rain and
snow showers in the Northeast, especially early in the day.

LOSANGELESMeet MaileYoshida,
the baby-sitter of the modern parents
dreams. Shesacuteandchirpy28-year-old
with a degree in communication fromthe
UniversityofSouthernCaliforniaandmore
than a decade of child-care experience, in-
cluding baby-sitting infants as well as chil-
dren with special needs and behavioral is-
sues. She has18five-star reviews onSitter-
City.com, and when meeting prospective
families she comes armed with a packet of
references, proof of her recent fluandTdap
shots, andher drivers license number.
Of course, youll have to pay: Yoshida
charges $20 to $30 an hour based on the
number of kids, their ages and howmuch
driving is involved, among other factors.
She saidher price is nonnegotiable.
Yoshida calls herself a career nanny
and explains that baby-sitting isnt just a
way to make money on the side while she
figures out what to do with her life. Baby-
sittingis what she is doingwithher life.
This is my means of income, she said.
This is what I dofor mycareer.
Despite the cost, some parents are turn-
ing to career nannies with references and
experience, rather than the 15-year-old
down the street, even if the need is just a
fewweekendnight hours.
Thereasonsforthisshiftawayfromteen-
age baby-sitters are varied. Some parents
worry that high-school students are toofo-
cused on their mobile phones texting
andcheckingFacebooktoberesponsib-
le for watchinga child.
Other parents saidthesupplyof teenage
baby-sittershasdwindledascollegeadmis-
sionhasbecomemorecompetitiveandstu-
dents have gotten busier with extracurric-
ulars. Still otherssaidteenagersget money
from their parents, dont need a job and
wouldratherattendtothedemandsoftheir
social lives.
At thesametime, thepoor economyhas
flooded the baby-sitting market with well-
educated people who might be employed
elsewhere in better times. Add to that the
swirl of anxiety permeating parenting
these days, and
moms and dads of
a certain means
face the question:
If something bad
were to happen,
would you rather
have a teenager in
your home or a re-
sponsible, driving
adult?
I think people
just sort of have a
tighter handle on
their kids nowa-
days, saidStepha-
nie Kirchen, the
mother of a 3-year-
old boy. She said
almost noneof her
friends uses teen-
age baby-sitters.
When I was
young it was like, the girl across the street
who was 12 baby-sat us. Now people are
CPR trained. That was never even an op-
tionwhenwe were younger.
OnSitterCity.com, parents cantype ina
job description what type of sitter they
are looking for, how many hours a week,
whattheywouldliketopay. Whenbaby-sit-
ters respond, parents cancontact their top
three candidates.
About 2millionbaby-sittersandnannies
nationwide are in the SitterCity.comdata-
base, andExecutiveVicePresidentMelissa
Marchwick said they are getting older.
When the site launched in 2001, the aver-
age age of the sitters was18. Nowit is 21.
Rent a Grandma specializes in helping
parents findmature baby-sitters.
I heard all these horror stories about
moms who hired a local college kid or
someoneintheirearly20sandtheywerent
responsible or they were busy with elec-
tronics,companyfounderToddPlisssaid.
Our grandmas dont text or tweet. Older
people arent going to sit on the computer
all day. Thats not their focus.
Becausemanyof Pliss grandmasarecol-
lege educated and have experience as
teachers, he said they tend to charge more
thanthe typical baby-sitter.
Arethedaysoftheteenbaby-sitterstotal-
ly over? Many parents lament that they
dont knowa responsible teennearby.
I would love to hire a baby-sitter but
dont know of any and dont know how to
findany,saidAllisonFleming, amotherof
two who remembers sitting for $1anhour.

Career

By DEBORAH NETBURN
Los Angeles Times
When I was
young it was
like, the girl
across the
street who was
12 baby-sat us.
Now people are
CPR trained.
That was never
even an option
when we were
younger.

I
ts sort of asweater, sans thesleeves andintheshapeof atanktop. It
can be worn without a jacket or dressed up with one. It comes in
many colors as well as patterns, argyle the most popular, of course.
The sweater vest, which gained popularity in the1970s, has found its
way backintothe fashionmainstreamandintothe hearts of those seek-
ing comfort and style.
He wasnt always a sweater-vest guy,
but a year and a half ago John V. Morris
III, a Wilkes-Barre funeral director, be-
came one, sort of by default.
It started because I received themas
gifts, the 40-year-old said. Of course I
wanted to use them, so I thought why
not?
Morris has come to enjoy the comfort
of agoodsweater vest andsaidhewould
go out and buy one for himself, no gift-
ing necessary. He now owns three, in
black, navy and burgundy.
Morris wears themonly in the winter
and sometimes with a blazer over them.
Not only does a sweater vest help to
achieve a dapper look, it provides com-
fort.
Ive got movement in my arms when
I have a jacket on, he said. To wear a
button-up anda sweater andthena jack-
et, it becomes too bulky.
Sweater vests also are good at con-
cealing things.
Theyre loose, and they tend to hide
things youmight want to, Morris joked
as he pointed to his midsection.
Sweater vests may be new in his
world, but theyve beena part of his fam-
ilys for a while.
Dad always wears sweater vests, al-
ways, Morris noted, referencing John
V. Morris Jr.
Son, it seems, will stayonthesweater-
vest track as well. He might have bigger
plans for his sartorial future, however.
Im going to pull a Jerry Seinfeld.
Maybe I can bring back the puffy shirt.
That might bethenext waytogo. Or the
tuxedo shirt? Im really not sure yet.

sweater vest for comfort and fashion. TOP: Mini sweater
vests are becoming popular among the younger set.
One local learns to love the vest
T
he sweater vest is
back.
OK, it never re-
ally went away.
But it took presi-
dential candidate
Rick Santorum to remind us
that the comfy sleeveless
sweater has always had a place
in our closets.
Ever since Santorum won
the Iowa caucus, the former
senator from Pennsylvania has
been wearing a sweater vest at
his meet-and-greets, not for a
fashion statement but for good
luck.
After offering a free vest to
anyonecontributing$100tohis
campaign, Santorum searched
for aU.S. manufacturer tomake
them. Bemidji Woolen Mills in
northernMinnesotalandedthe
job. The company shipped the
first batch of 1,000 and already
has started a second run, said
mill president Bill Batchelder.
Batchelder said the vests
convey Main Street values
and he brushed away any sug-
gestion they also have a nerd
factor.
Saywhat youwant, but Sen.
Santorum was not wearing
high-water pants or a pocket
protector when he came into
the plant, said Batchelder, a
vest wearer himself.

said the high-fashion mens cloth-
ier didnt stockany vests last year
but has themon order for the fall.
For Fehrenbach, the old-fash-
ioned look of the vests is part of
their appeal.
The vest has longevity, even if
it can be a bit grandpa-ish, he
said. While he readily admitted
that vestsareabit nerdy,headd-
ed, but I dont seethat as adown-
side. Nerds can be fashionable,
too.
Infact, sweater vests havebeen
derigueurformanyiconiccharac-
ters past andpresent, fromRichie
CunninghamonHappy Days to
the Artie Abrams character on
Glee.
Even Ferris Bueller, the 1986
slacker hero in Ferris Buellers
Day Off, wore a sweater vest.
(Somewhat surprisingly, when
actor Matthew Broderick re-
prisedthe role for a recent Honda
commercial, his vest went mis-
sing.)
The vest has been a steady,
quiet niche seller for years, said
Steve Bernick, co-owner of Mil-
bern Clothing in St. Paul, Minn.
It skews toward a more sophisti-
cated, older customer, he said.
Other retailers, suchas Macys,
JCPenneyandHubert White, car-
ry sweater vests.
Twill, a mens store in the Twin
Cities, did see a10 percent rise in
vest sales this season, said sales-
man Paul Mayer. But the store
isnt linking that uptick to the
prominence of vests on the cam-
paign trail.
We havent had anyone walk-
ing in and asking for the Santo-
rumvest, Mayer said.
Santorums vest now has its
ownTwitteraccount andwebsite,
but despitethecampaignscatchy
Sleeves slow me down slogan,
sweater vests are still struggling
to attract younger fans.
Theyrefor older people, said
Dan Larson, 24, of Minneapolis.
I wouldnt even consider buying
one.
Larsonalsonotedthat he refus-
es to wear two other vestiges of
modern male maturity: the cardi-
gan and pleated pants.

share their knowledge with the students. One of the parents, Ge-
orge Kebles, has a daughter in Viera Ademecks seventh-grade
class. He shared information about his occupation as a baker and
his love for baking. Students watched as he demonstrated the art
of decorating cupcakes and then enjoyed decorating their own
cupcakes. Some of the participants, from left, are Abigail Kebles,
George Kebles, Alex Kester and Alia Mazzatosta.

HOW TO CONTACT:
Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Ange-
les, CA 90069
For more Sudoku go to www.timesleader.com
O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: My oth-
erwise loving, hon-
est, generous, kind
and attentive hus-
band of 10 years feels
its his right to walk
into the bathroom
whenever he wants,
even when Im in there. We dont have
locks or even doors to shut our
master bathroom. We do have other
bathrooms in the house.
I have asked him repeatedly not
to come in or to make some noise
so I know hes coming. He says he
forgets. If Im in the shower or bent
over with my head upside down blow-
drying my hair and turn around or
look up and see another person, I get
startled. My adrenaline pumps and I
end up yelling at him.
Id prefer to get clean and pretty in
peace. My husband thinks Im over-
reacting. Am I?
Bothered in the Bathroom
Dear Bothered: Feeling as strongly
as you do, its surprising that you
would move into a house in which the
master bedroom and bath are set up
this way. And yes, I do think youre
overreacting.
However, you have a couple of
options: The first would be for you
to get clean and pretty in one of the
other bathrooms. The second would
be to start a remodeling project and
have a door (or doors) to your master
bath installed.
Dear Abby: I am married to a won-
derful and unique man. Despite his
privileged upbringing he is very
down-to-earth. Unfortunately, my in-
laws are snobbish, self-absorbed and
competitive. They are critical of ev-
eryone especially their grown son.
They put him and each other down
constantly.
My husband is trying to be patient
because he knows his parents arent
going to change. But they consume
so much of our energy with their con-
stant drama. Any advice for dealing
with drama queens (and kings)? They
do love us and can be considerate.
Living in the Real World in New
Jersey
Dear Real: It may help you and your
husband to understand that people
who act the way your in-laws do are
usually insecure on some basic level.
They put others down to inflate their
egos and reassure themselves that
theyre OK by magnifying (or in-
venting) flaws in others. When your
in-laws start to criticize, be pleasant
and make a point of saying something
positive about their target. It will
short-circuit the rant.
Dear Abby: Im a 40-year-old work-
ing mother raising a daughter who
is the joy of my life. Once in a great
while Ill accept an invitation to go on
a date and hire a baby sitter to watch
my daughter.
My question is, who should pay for
the sitter? The man who asked me
out or should I? I have yet to have a
suitor offer to pay. Is that just the way
it is, or are these men just cheap?
Mom On a Budget
Dear Mom: Paying for your daugh-
ters sitter is YOUR responsibility.
When you become involved in a
steady relationship and the cost of
a sitter becomes a financial burden,
discuss it then with your boyfriend,
who should be willing to share some
of the cost.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Married couple just cant come to terms over bathroom battleground
To receive a collection of Abbys most
memorable and most frequently re-
quested poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus
check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in
Canada) to: Dear Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box
447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage
is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Its OK
to need help. Do be careful to
ask the right person, though
which is to say the one with the
expertise that most matches
your problem.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There
will be ups and downs as life
comes to you. This causes you
to feel heavier in your boots,
and moments later its as though
your heart is as buoyant as a
balloon.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Youll
get the stretch of space and
quiet you need in order to do
your best. Take advantage of it!
Dont fritter your minutes away
on emails and the Internet. Do
the thing that will have lasting
impact.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You
dont have to wait for a problem
to get really big before you ask
for help. The response time to
your problem will be determined
by an algorithm having nothing
to do with your problems size.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You will
enjoy being around that rare
kind of person who has had the
requisite share of follies and mis-
fortunes and yet chooses not to
talk about them unless its abso-
lutely relevant.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The one
who compliments and assures
you is also trying to persuade
you in some way. Take it all in
stride. Let your trust build over
time.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Good for-
tune stems from your artistic tal-
ent or your deep sense of justice.
Fortune stems from your ability
to fuse those parts of your per-
sonality in one project.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your
emotional evolution is in prog-
ress. This could be the day you
make peace with what you can-
not understand, an act that will
free up your energy for truly
fulfilling pursuits.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Youll distinguish yourself as a
person of exemplary character
and talent. Youll do this by ren-
dering a better service than the
one that is asked of you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Youll be assimilating bits of
inspiration that have been com-
ing to you over the past few
weeks. The process results in
highly original thinking. Write
down some of those ideas.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Is
confession really good for the
soul, or does it just involve more
people in the problem? You have
a stellar sense of how to actually
fix things, which is better than
talking about them any day.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Get
some exercise, and youll be
unstoppable. What you dont
accomplish with good manners
youll make up for with fast
reflexes.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Feb. 23).
Certain of yourself, youll know
the right thing, and youll do
it. March brings spontaneous
moods and interesting predica-
ments, too some of them quite
lucky. Youll tell the story for
years to come. A partner in play
comes along in April. July shows
you advancement through study.
A powerful mentor helps. Aries
and Sagittarius people adore
you. Your lucky numbers are: 30,
1, 33, 39 and 15.
