FLINT, Mich. Regardless of
the outcome of Republican presi-
dential primaries today in Michi-
gan and Arizona, Mitt Romney
and Rick Santorum appear head-
ed for a showdown next week in
Ohio.
Both candidates plan to dash
there later this week. The candi-
dates and their allies already are
spending heavily on advertising
in the Buckeye State.
Its one of 10 that vote a week
fromtoday, with 419 delegates to
the Republican National Conven-
tion at stake.
An awful lot of Ohioans are
just tuning in to this, said Terry
Casey, a veteran Republican cam-
paign strategist in that state. Its
going to be a sprint.
Beyond Ohio, Romney was
looking to contests in the West
while Santorum focuses on the
South.
Rival Newt Gingrich, seeking
to inject momentum into his
struggling bid, was working to

And two West Side residents
challenged signatures on the pet-

WILKES-BARRE Acounty
official was advised in Novem-
ber that a former client of attor-
ney Angela Stevens believed
she had overbilled for work on
his case, but no one checked
her invoices
to determine
if there were
any irregular-
ities.
Robert
Mawson told
The Times
Leader on
Monday that
he contacted former county
commissioner Stephen A. Ur-
ban about excessive hours he
believed Stevens had charged
for representing him in his
fight against a petition that
sought to terminate his rights
to his two children.
Urban said Monday he con-
tactedcounty solicitor VitoDe-
Luca about the case, but never
took his inquiry further be-
cause he believed DeLuca had
handled the matter.
DeLuca acknowledged he
spoke to Urbanabout Mawson,
but saidthe discussionfocused
on another issue with the case.
He does not recall Urban men-
tioning any billing concerns,
therefore he never sought tore-
view Stevens invoices.
Issues with Stevens bills did
not come to light until last
week, when The Times Leader

told of
concerns
in Nov.

WILKES-BARRE A King-
ston attorney who admitted
to double billing the county
notified Luzerne County
officials on Monday that her
firm has hired an independent
auditor to conduct a forensic
audit of her billings.
Angela Stevens of the Py-
rah/Stevens law firm wrote to
Interim County Manager Tom
Pribula to advise him her
firm, at its own expense, has
contracted with Forensic
Solutions Inc. to conduct the
review.
Stevens announcement
came the same day that the
county authorized a legal ad
seeking request for proposals
from auditing firms to audit
the fund from which Stevens
and 17 other attorneys were
paid.
County solicitor Vito DeLu-
ca said Stevens is free to con-
tract her own audit, but he
does not believe that will
impact the countys decision
to conduct its own review.

Two injured in Kingston collision involving 2 cars, hydrant
DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER
Water rushes from a
fire hydrant at the in-
tersection of Church
Street and Wyoming
Avenue in Kingston
after it was struck by a
car Monday afternoon
around noon. Emer-
gency personnel at-
tend to a woman in-
volved in the crash in
the upper left of the
photo. Kingston police
said the car struck the
hydrant after it collided
with a second vehicle
at the intersection.
There was a driver and
a passenger in each
vehicle, and one per-
son from each vehicle
was injured, but only
the woman seen on the
stretcher was trans-
ported to a hospital;
the other injured per-
son declined transport.
Additional information
was unavailable.
Luzerne County government layoffs are sup-
posed to take effect Thursday, but one union offi-
cial said shes still uncertain which employees will
be affected.
I was given a tentative list of layoffs which I
thought was official, only to find out its been
changing on a daily basis, said Paula Schnelly, of
the American Federation of State, County & Mu-
nicipal Employees, or AFSCME, union.
Schnelly said
she has been in-
formed that some
people on the list may not be laid off.
Workers who may lose jobs because of union
bumping rights also are unaware because the
bumping process has not been completed by no
fault of the union, she said. Employees in
AFSCMEs court-related union have the right to
claim the same position in certain other offices if
that position is held by an employee with less se-
niority.
County Interim Manager Tom Pribula said he
would not comment on layoffs until he briefs
county council about the process before tonights
council meeting. Pribula saidhe will soonpublicly
release a layoff summary.
The countys 2012 budget requires anestimated
56 layoffs in addition to the elimination of 23 jobs
due to retirements, terminations and home rules
Its still uncertain which county workers will be laid off
Fifty-six layoffs
are set to take
effect Thursday,
but union
official says list
is changing.

obert Vincent Semenza, 65, of
Old Forge, died peacefully Sun-
day afternoon while surrounded by
his loving wife, children, grandchil-
dren and entire family after a coura-
geous battle with stomach cancer.
He was an inspiration to all.
He and his wife, the former Mar-
guerite Boccolini, celebrated their
43rd wedding anniversary on Octo-
ber 30, 2011. Their years together
were built on unconditional love
and they instilled this in their chil-
dren. His family meant everything.
Born November 1, 1946, he was
the loving son of the late Lawrence
V. andMary Rosi Semenza. Agradu-
ate of Old Forge High School, class
of 1964, he received an undergradu-
ate degree from Valley Forge Mili-
tary Academy Junior College in
1966 and a bachelors degree in so-
ciology fromKings College in1969.
Following graduation, he began his
career at St. Michaels School for
Boys as a counselor.

which he oversawmore than 70 em-
ployees in various agencies, includ-
ing Labor and Industry, higher edu-
cation, training andvocational reha-
bilitation. He was also the proprie-
tor of Main Street South Restaurant
and Pep O Briens Night Club, both
in Old Forge.
Robert was a loving and devoted
husband, father, grandfather, broth-
er, uncle, great uncle, godfather and
an amazing friend to all. He was ex-

cially his children and grandchil-
dren of whom he was exceptionally
proud. He had an outstanding sense

face and a song in his heart.
Veryrespectedinthecommunity,

maintaining the softball field which
he treated like his own.
In January 2012, Old Forge Bor-
ough Council bestowed the honor
of naming the softball field at Pag-
notti Park as The Robert V. Semen-
za Softball Field. He accepted the
honor with great humility and
stated This was one of the great
moments in my life. I was complete-
ly humbledtothinkI was beinghon-
ored for something that was just a
part of my life.
Besides his passion for softball,
he was an avid golfer and a huge
NewYork Giants fan, as well as a fan
of all sports. He loved all holidays
spent with his family, especially the
4th of July. His dog Rudy meant the
world to him. He and his wife en-
joyed traveling to Myrtle Beach and
many other places throughout the

NUANGOLA The boroughs
proposed sewage facilities plan
hashit another roadblockthrown
up by the state Department of
Environmental Protection that
couldforcecouncil intospending
more money, officials indicated
at Monday nights meeting.
Regina Plodwick, council pres-
ident, said that in two certified
letters received this month from
DEP, the state agency has deter-
mined the boroughs revised Act
537 plan is administratively in-
complete.
Furthermore, according to
Scott Novatnak, project manager
for DEPs clean water program,
who signed the letters, the plan
needs further revision before the
Nuangola Sewer Authority can
solicit contract bids for the pro-
posed project, which was man-
dated by the DEP in 2005.
The revised Act 537 plan was
devised by Alfred Benesch Engi-
neers, and during discussions,
Plodwick said, Benesch wants to
charge the boroughanadditional
$4,700torespondtoaseries of is-
sues outlined by Novatnak. Dur-
ing a lengthy debate on Bene-
schs request, council unani-
mously objected to paying any
more money to Benesch.
However, Councilwoman
Elaine Donahue did suggest a
compromise: that council con-
duct discussions with Jacqueline
Peleschak, project manager for
Benesch, to negotiate down
the proposed engineering fee.
Her motion didnt gain any sup-
port.
Plodwick also said that since
the borough is cash strapped,
with a current general fund bal-
ance of approximately $20,000, it
doesnt have the money for any
more engineering fees.
Another aspect to the current
scenario is that, according to Da-
vid Pekar, chairman of the sewer
authority, the authority is under
aDEPmoratoriumtobidthepro-
ject in March. He said that until
the Act 537 plan is revised and is
approved by DEP, bids cannot be
sought.
Earlier this month, Nuangola
was granted a $25,000 loan by
the Mountain Top Area Joint
Sewer Authority to have Quad3
Engineers of Wilkes-Barre secure
a series of permits in order to
move forward. Councilman Ted
Vancosky said $19,000 has been
spent so far.

KINGSTON TWP. Supervi-
sors awarded a bid to Brdaric Ex-
cavating of Swoyersville to stabi-
lize a stretch of Toby Creek along
CarvertonRoadat a special meet-
ing Monday.
Township Manager Kathleen
Sebastian said the streambed be-
hind a building owned by the
township on Carverton Road has
eroded so much through the
years that the walls are cracking
andpart of the creek flows under-
neath the building.
She said the Luzerne County
Conservation District offered the
township a grant from leftover
federal funds tocompletethepro-
ject.
The bid was awarded to Brdar-
ic Excavating in the amount of
$61,424. Though the conserva-
tion district offered the township
only $47,500, Sebastian an-
nounced at the meeting that the
organization would provide the
rest of the money for the project.
The lowest monetary bidder
was Napcon Inc. of Wilkes-Barre
in the amount of $41,260, but Se-
bastiansaidBrdaric was thelow-
est responsible bidder.
The board also voted to ap-
prove a cooperative agreement
between the police department
and Carfax Inc., a vehicular infor-
mation company, to streamline
vehicular accident reports.
Tyrone Parker, a Carfax spo-
kesperson, told supervisors Car-
fax would handle the reports
through a website at no cost to
the township, which would make
them available to the public and
insurance companies at any time
and would cut down on adminis-
trative work for police officers.
Parker also said officers would
have access to investigative tools
through the website to learn
more about stolen vehicles and
other common vehicular crimes.
He said the reason why Carfax
wanted to work with lawenforce-
ment officers on the municipal
level is because the company cur-
rently receives crash information
only from the state, and the add-
edreports wouldbenefit thecom-
panys vehicular history data.
Police Chief James Balavage
said he felt the removal of some
administrative work in the de-
partment would increase the
amount of time officers could be
patrolling.
It nowcosts $15 to obtain a po-
lice report. Parker said the police
department would still coup $15
from each report purchased on
the website, and Carfax would
charge $5 per report as a conve-
nience fee. Citizens would still

cident report in person.

Police investigate Wilkes-Barre stabbing
AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER
Police investigate a stabbing at 604 N. Washington St., near the corner of Linden Street,
on Monday afternoon in Wilkes-Barre. Police Lt. Steve Olshefski said the stabbing appar-
ently occurred inside the home, but police found the male victim outside when they ar-
rived at about 4 p.m. He was transported to Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center in
Plains Township, where he underwent surgery. The last police heard, the victim had been
stabilized, but they were unable to interview him because of his medical condition. Olshef-
ski said police had no one in custody and no suspects as of Monday night, and they con-

PRINGLE -- The West Side Ca-
reer and Technology Center
board passed a tentative 2012-13
budget Monday, but the biggest
discussion wasnt about what is
in the budget, but what isnt.
This tentative version of the
nearly $6.4 million budget
doesnt include any funds for
sports, which were eliminated
last year to save about $11,000.
But at least 150 students want
the board to find another way to
meet thebudget, andtheir names
were on a petition presented to
the board by Darren Lupole.
Lupole, a 17-year-old junior,
played basketball for the tech
school Titans until the program
was cut, along with girls basket-
ball, baseball and softball.
Reading a statement he said
was jointly written by a number
of students, Lupole told the
board the atmosphere at the tech
school is different without sports
and said that although students
can play in their home districts,
they are experiencing trouble
getting out to practices on time.
The statement asked that ev-
eryone work together to find a
way to bring sports back, and
addedthat students are willingto
do whatever is necessary, in-
cluding fundraisers.
The issue of sports wasnt on
the agenda, but Lake-Lehman
representative Mark Kornoski
made a motion the board act to
bring sports back. Dallas repre-
sentative KarenKyle movedtota-
ble Kornoskis motion in favor of
having the budget and finance
committee review the budget
and seek ways to cut costs first.
In discussion after the two mo-
tions, several board members
noted they arent opposed to hav-
ing sports at the school but need
to consider a number of factors,
including cost, any transporta-
tion issues getting students to
their home districts for sports,
and how it would affect students
whowant toplaya sport that isnt
offered at the tech school.
Kyles motion passed, but the
board agreed to investigate the
possibility of bringing sports
backanddirectedAdministrative
Director NancyTkatchtolookin-
to any transportation problems
and to meet with students about
the sports programs.
After the meeting, Lupole said
he was happy the board dis-
cussed the issue and hopeful that
it would be discussed at future
meetings as promised.

WILKES-BARRE A city
man sentenced in December to
11 to 22 years in state prison in
the beating of a Plymouth man
in November 2010 has appealed
his sentence to the state Superi-
or Court.
Eric R. Hogan, 48, of Hill
Street, appealed the sentence
through his attorney, Thomas
Cometa.
Hogan was convicted of bur-
glary, aggravated assault, simple
assault and reckless endanger-
ment after an October 2011 jury
trial. He was sentenced in De-
cember by Judge David Lupas.
Prosecutors say Hogan as-
saulted Donald Skiff, of Ply-
mouth, causing severe head
injuries.
WILKES-BARRE A couple
sentenced on Feb. 14 to 30
months probation each on
charges they abused a teen boy
will be allowed to have contact
with each other, a county judge
said.
James Antonelli, 65, of Sugar-
loaf Township, and his wife,
Jennie Marie Moore, 47, of
Hazleton, were sentenced after
pleading no contest to charges
of criminal conspiracy to com-
mit indecent assault and in-
decent assault, respectively.
Judge David Lupas ordered
the two to have no contact with
each other.
In court papers filed Monday
by Antonellis attorney, Thomas
Marsilio, Antonelli said the two
are reconciling and would like
to have contact with each other.
Lupas granted that request.
According to court records,
the teenager told state police
troopers in June 2010 he was
abused by Antonelli and Moore
in April 2007.

Abduction reports denied
Reports of attempted abductions
of children in Mountain Top are
greatly exaggerated, two police
chiefs said.
Township Police Chief Barry
Franks said there was a report of an
elderly man, driving a gray or silver
vehicle with an elderly woman pas-
senger, taking a picture in the Ice
Lakes development at about the
same time when children were in the
area selling candy on Feb. 20, Presi-
dents Day. There was no school on
Feb. 20, Franks noted.
Since the report, rumors have
circulated in Mountain Top indicat-
ing that a man was taking pictures
and approaching children at bus
stops.
We havent had any attempted
abductions, Franks said. There was
one incident that wasnt on a school
day.
Wright Township Police Chief Joe
Jacob said his department has been
inundated with calls from parents
and officials with Crestwood School
District.
Franks said to ease concerns he
altered officers shifts to have addi-
tional patrols during the day.

Guilty to ketamine import
According to U.S. Attorney Peter J.
Smith, Erich Chiogna, 27, of Forty
Fort, admitted Monday before Senior
U.S. District Court Judge Edwin M.
Kosik to importing the illegal drug
ketamine into the country.
He ordered the ketamine in early
January from Lahore, Pakistan, and
subsequently accepted delivery of
the drug at a post office box in Pitt-
ston, where federal agents arrested
him. Customs agents seized the
approximately 800 grams of keta-
mine when it entered the country in
Maryland. Chiogna paid $4,000 for
the ketamine, valued at more than
$60,000.
The charge against Chiogna, con-
tained in paperwork that was filed by
the U.S. Attorneys Office, stemmed
from an investigation by Special
Agents of the Department of Home-
land Security.
The plea agreement recommends
that he be sentenced to a prison
sentence within the applicable sen-
tencing guideline range. There was
no date scheduled for the sentence.

PLAINS TWP. Shoddy record keep-
ing of revenue and expenditures does not
make Wilkes-Barre Township Fire Chief
John Paul Yuknavich a thief, his lawyer
said.
Attorney Barry Dyller said there is no
evidence to suggest Yuknavich, 48, stole
more than $11,800 from the fire depart-
ment he oversees or used the fire depart-
ments Sams Clubcharge cardfor person-
al use.
After Assistant District Attorney Shan-
non Crake presented the prosecutions ar-
guments for more than two hours during
Yuknavichs preliminaryhearingMonday,
District Judge Diana Malast determined
she established a case against the fire
chief, sending two counts of theft, and
one count each of ac-
cess device fraud and
receivingstolenproper-
ty to Luzerne County
Court.
Crakes strongest evi-
dence came from fraud
investigator Edwin Tyl-
er, with the state Audi-
tor Generals Office, who relied upon re-
cords obtained from Wilkes-Barre City
Employees Federal Credit Union and
Sams Club.
Yuknavich and the fire department
have separate accounts at the credit
union.
Tyler testified credit union records
show that on six dates Yuknavich with-
drew money from the fire departments
account and made deposits into his per-
sonal account. Tyler added there were
more than 100 transactions involving the
fire departments account and none for
Yuknavichs account with the exception
of the six deposits.
Any cash withdrawal tells me, based
on my experience, that cash is being di-
verted, said Tyler, who spent 27 years as
aninvestigator withthe Internal Revenue
Service before joining the state Auditor
Generals Office.
Questioned by Dyller, Tyler said it was
unusual that Yuknavich deposited money
that included cents on the days he with-
drew money from the fire department.
John Brostoski, a regional supervisor
with the auditor general, testified he was
unable to conduct an audit of the fire de-
partment and the departments Relief As-
sociation because no financial records
had been kept. Brostoski said Yuknavich,
when served with a subpoena, did not
providefinancial documentsfor theaudit.
Brostoski said many red flags sur-
faced when bank records showed cash
withdrawals and a $55,000 undocument-
ed loan from the departments Relief As-
sociation to the fire department. He said
state monetary aid to the fire department
has been suspended due to failure to re-
pay the Relief Association.
Tyler and Brostoski said Yuknavich is
the only name that appeared on cash
withdrawal slips.
Most of the argument at the hearing
was spent on purchases at Sams Club
stores in Wilkes-Barre Township, Harris-
burg and two in NewJersey using the fire
departments charge card.
Tyler said the card is in Yuknavichs
name.
Dyller said feminine products and chil-
drens clothing purchased at Sams Club
are evidence that Yuknavich, who is not
married, did not use the departments
card.
State police allege Yuknavich used the
Sams Club card to charge $3,700 for per-
sonal use.
Yuknavich is scheduled to be formally
arraigned in county court on May 4. He
remains free on $15,000 bail.

WILKES-BARRE Aman charged with
involuntary manslaughter in the shooting
death of a 17-year-old girl pleaded guilty
Monday to related charges.
Martin Joseph Beamer, 25, of West
Shawnee Avenue, entered the plea to one
count each of involuntary manslaughter
and aggravated assault in the May1shoot-
ing that left Samantha Claudio dead.
CountyJudge DavidLupas saidBeamer
will be sentenced April 9 on the charges.
Beamer faces a mandatory minimumof
five years in prison, Assistant District At-
torney Frank McCabe said.
We previously discusseda (nocontest)
plea, but (Beamer) wanted to accept re-
sponsibility, Beamers attorney Thomas
Cometa said. He is very remorseful.
Cometa and attorney William Ruzzo
represented Beamer.
Members of Beamers and Claudios
families were in court Monday.
Several of Claudios friends and family
wore shirts with her picture on the front.
According to prosecutors, Beamer, who
was scheduled to stand trial this week on
related charges, was at his residence with
his brother, John Bogdon, and Claudio on
May 1.
An argument between the siblings be-
gan when Beamer asked Bogdon to leave
and placed a live round into a 9mm pistol
to scare him, McCabe said.
Court papers allege Beamer said he
held the gun in one hand while grabbing
Bogdons shirt with his other as Bogdon
threw punches. The gun went off, police
said, and Claudio screamed and ran into
the kitchen and collapsed.
Beamers mother came up from a sec-
ond-floor apartment, and he asked her to
call 911. Im sorry; I accidentally pulled
the trigger, he told police when they
asked where the shooter was.
Beamer told police the gun was on a
couch, where it was later found wrapped
ina shirt stainedwithwhat appearedtobe
blood, court papers say.
Beamer told police he found the gun
two months earlier along a trail in the Ply-
mouth Flats area of Plymouth Township.
(Beamers) recklessness and negli-
gence led to the death of Samantha Clau-
dio that evening, McCabe said, who is
prosecuting the case along with ADA Ma-
mie Phillips.
Two counts of reckless endangerment
and one count of theft of property lost by
mistake were withdrawn by prosecutors
as a result of the guilty plea.

WASHINGTON, D.C. The Baltimore
office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
has told U.S. Sen. Bob Casey the project
information report on the Wyoming Val-
ley levee system should be completed
within two weeks.
The report will then be sent to the
Corps North Atlantic Division for review,
according to Caseys office.
Approval of the report should come by
the end of March, according to the letter
sent toCasey. Designandengineeringwill
then commence, and the Corps indicated
construction could begin this summer.
At a Feb. 20 press conference, Casey
challenged the Corps to end delays and
complete a report so funding can be re-
leased to repair the flood-damaged levee
system.
The report will outline the repairs need-
ed after Septembers record flooding,
when the Susquehanna River swelled to a
depth of more than 42 feet.
Casey said the project cant go forward
until the report is completed.
Casey said he wasnt asking the Corps
to do anything unreasonable.
The senator and Luzerne County Flood
Protection Authority Executive Director
Jim Brozena said the system still is struc-
turally sound, but the flooding in Septem-
ber took its toll on the levees, leaving
them in need of repair.
Brozena couldnt estimate how much
the workwill cost, notingthere were prob-
lem areas in Forty Fort, Kingston, Exeter,
Wilkes-Barre, Hanover Township and Ply-
mouth.
Much of the greater Wyoming Valley
was untouched by flood waters, but areas
including West Pittston, Duryea, Jenkins
Township, Plains Township, Plymouth
Township and Shickshinny incurred mil-
lions of dollars in damage to homes and
businesses.

After a six-day, 2,800-mile drive
from California, Robert Lawton is
settling into a Kingston rental and
preparing for his high-profile posi-
tion as Luzerne County govern-
ments first pro-
fessional man-
ager under
home rule.
Im looking

Lawton said he has been moni-
toring county developments from
afar, but wont take positions on
any pending issues until he gath-
ers anddiscusses informationthat
will be available after he starts the
$110,000 position.
I have not developed any par-
ticularopinionsyet ormadeupmy
mind on anything, he said.
Under home rule, the manager
oversees daily operations and
many duties previously handled
by three elected commissioners.
Employees should expect a lot
of interaction with the newchief.
Im going to get out and meet
withemployeeswheretheywork,
he said.
He praised Interim Manager
Tom Pribula, who accepted the
temporary leadership post when
home rule was officially enacted
Jan. 2. Hehasdoneagreat job. We
have to keep that great start go-
ing, Lawton said.
Daily monitoring of the county
budget is necessary, and Lawton
saidhe will ensure the council and
public are regularly updated on
spending and revenue both cur-
rent and projected through the
rest of the year. He also will report
on steps taken to control costs.
Those are very fundamental du-
ties well embrace fromthe begin-
ning, he said.
Lawton plans regular meetings
withdepartment heads andsenior
management to explain his own
directives and hear their ideas. He
said hes open to all feasible sug-
gestions to make county govern-
ment more efficient.
There is no monopoly on good
ideas, he said.
Lawton also wants to develop
anopendialoguewithunionwork-

WILKES-BARRE Communi-
ty Development Block Grant
funding has decreased the last
three years and the city must do
less work with less money.
During a public meeting Mon-
day that attracted no citizens,
Kurt Sauer, the citys director of
community development, said
the citys allocation for 2012 is
$1.5 million, down from $1.7 mil-
lion in 2011 and $2 million in
2010.
Were working on where we
will make cuts, Sauer said. We
will hold a public hearing soon to
take comments.
The cut in funding will affect
the number of streets to be paved
and demolition of blighted prop-
erties, he said. In 2011, Mayor
TomLeightonsaidcitydonations
to community groups such as the
Osterhout Free Library and the
YMCA Summer Camp also
would be affected.
The CDBG program is funded
by the U.S. Department of Hous-
ing and Urban Development and
is spent on a variety of projects.
In2011, Sauer saidCDBGmon-
ey was used to pave 11 streets,
purchase an ambulance, offer
crime counseling, demolish six
blightedproperties anddonate to
charities and non-profit agencies.
These cuts hurt everything,
he said. It hurts public services,
street paving, demolition and
more.
Sauer said 26 residents re-
ceived help in 2011 with items in
their home, such as furnaces, un-
der the CDBG program.
We want to minimize the ef-
fects of these cuts, Sauer said.
He said the program defines
what percentage of the funding
can be used for specific areas.

SHICKSHINNY Despite pro-
tests fromborough residents, the
100-year-old bank building at the
corner of Route 11 and Union

weeks end.
Borough Secretary Melissa
Weber said the former Wachovia
and Wells Fargo Bank building is
being prepped for demolition.
Barricades are being set up,
Weber said. Once our code en-
forcement officer inspects the ar-
ea, the demolition will begin.
Weber said she expects the
building to be taken down Thurs-
day or Friday.
Wells Fargo has retained own-
ership of the building and land
andwill placeanATMonthesite.
Weber said the bank will also cre-
ate a green area to make the
corner attractive.
Jim Baum, Wells Fargo com-
munications manager for Penn-
sylvania, said last month that in-
dependent engineers examined
the building and found it unsafe
because of significant structural
deficiencies caused by several
floods.
Baumsaid the engineers found
damage to foundation walls and
to the buildings structural steel
components. More damage to
building fixtures, finishes and
bank equipment was revealed
when interior drywall, flooring
and ceiling covers were removed.
Wells Fargo announced in No-
vember that it planned to close
the branch and demolish the
building.
About 30 protesters stood in
front of the building in January
carrying signs in hopes of keep-
ing the building intact. They said
the building is a town landmark
and should be preserved.
Wells Fargo took over the bank
through its acquisition of Wacho-
via Bank in 2008.

Bank announced earlier this
month it would open a new
branch on the site of the closed

WILKES-BARRE The state
SuperiorCourt hasupheldthe5-
to11-year prison sentence of a city
manwhoallegedhewasavictimof

Johnnie Witherspoon, 26, of
Grant Street, appealed his sen-
tence on drug-related charges to
the higher court, claiming prose-
cutors continued to set up drug
purchasesin2005forthesolepur-
pose of a judge giving hima leng-

Witherspoon, whois servinghis
sentence at the State Correctional
Institution at Somerset, was origi-
nallychargedinfivedifferent cases
in 2005 in which prosecutors al-
legedhe soldsuspectedcocaine to
a police informant.
Witherspoon pleaded guilty to
related charges in June 2006 and
was sentenced by now-Senior
Judge Chester Muroski two
months later.
According to court papers, in
December 2006, Witherspoon fil-
ed post-sentence motions that
were denied by Muroski.
A post-conviction relief act
(PCRA) petition was filed in April
2007, and Muroski held a hearing
on June 21, 2011, after a number of
delays inappointinganattorneyto
Witherspoon.
Witherspoonallegedat thehear-
ing that his attorney at the time of
his sentencing, Joseph Sklarosky
Jr., failed to bring up the sentenc-
ing entrapment in his PCRA re-
quest.
Witherspoon specifically al-
leged in his PCRA filing that the
Luzerne County DrugTaskForce
continued to set up drug purchas-
es for the sole purpose of increas-
inghis exposuretoalengthier sen-
tence andthat ajudgewouldhave
given a lesser sentence if his attor-
ney had brought up that informa-
tion.
Witherspoon asked the high
court to vacate his sentence and
send his case back to county court
for resentencing.
(Witherspoon) is entitledtono
relief, a panel of three Superior
Court judges wrote.
The court said Witherspoon
showed little evidence that prose-
cutors engaged in sentence en-
trapment, and that his claim that
his attorney was ineffective is also
meritless.
Sentence upheld in case in which entrapment alleged
Witherspoon claimed police
kept setting up drug buys so
he would get longer sentence.

Most voters nix health law
Nearly two years after President

laws requirement that every American
carry health insurance is unconstitu-

those surveyed in battleground states
and nationwide generally agreed in
their dislike of the Affordable Care Act.
Voters in battleground states are more

showed.
Fifty-three percent of voters polled in
battleground states Colorado, Flor-
ida, Iowa, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylva-
nia, Nevada, New Hampshire, New
Mexico, North Carolina, Virginia and
Wisconsin said they would favor
repealing the law if a Republican is

CHARDON, Ohio A
teenager described as an out-
cast at a suburban Cleveland
high school opened fire in the
cafeteria Monday, killing one
student and wounding four
others before being appre-
hended a short distance away,
authorities said.
A student who saw the at-
tack close-up said it appeared
that the gunman targeted a
group of students sitting at a
cafeteria table and that the
one who was killed was trying
to duck under the table.
Panicked students
screamed and ran through the
halls after gunfire broke out at
the start of the school day at
1,100-student Chardon High,
about 30 miles from Cleve-
land. Teachers locked down
their classrooms as they had
been trained to do during
drills, and students took cover
as they waited for the all-clear.
One teacher was said to
have dragged a wounded stu-
dent into his classroom for
protection. And distressed
parents thronged the streets
around the school as they
heard from students via text
message and cellphone long
before official word came.
Two of the wounded were
listedincritical condition, and
another was in serious condi-
tion.
The suspect, whose name
was not released because he is
a juvenile, was arrested near
his car a half-mile away, the
FBI said. He was not immedi-
ately charged.
FBI officials would not com-
ment on a motive. And Police
Chief Tim McKenna said au-
thorities have a lot of home-
worktodoyet intheir investi-
gation. But Danny Komertz,
15, who witnessed the shoot-
ing, said the gunman was
known as an outcast who had
apparently been bullied.

mertz said. He said the gun-
man fired two shots quickly,
and students scrambled for
safety. One of them was try-
ing to get underneath the ta-
ble, trying to hide, protecting
his face.
The slain student was iden-
tified as Daniel Parmertor.

WASHINGTON The U.S.
military is fully committed to its
missioninAfghanistanandhas no
plans to change its strategy de-
spite the recent deadly violence
that has shaken already fragile re-
lations between
Americans and
their Afghan
partners, the
Pentagon said
Monday.
Officials con-
ceded, however,
that after the
killings of two
U.S. officers in-
side the Afghan
interior minis-
try on Saturday,
the U.S. is not
ready to allow its advisers to re-
turnto work at the Afghanoffices.
NATO, France, Britain and the
U.S. pulledtheir advisers fromthe
ministries after the shootings,
which remains unsolved.
Navy Capt. John Kirby, a mili-
tary spokesman in Kabul, ac-
knowledged that tensions are
high, but saidthesituationmaybe
calmingabit at least interms of
protests. He said there have been
fewer protests inthelast twodays,
and less violence.
Two U.S. military officers were
gunneddownSaturdayintheir In-
terior Ministry office, and nine Af-
ghans were killedMonday whena
suicidebomberrammedhiscarin-
to the gates of a NATO base in
eastern Afghanistan.
The remains of the two officers
will be flown to Dover Air Force
Base, Del., officials said Monday.
They identified the two officers as
Army Maj. Robert J. Marchanti II,
of Baltimore, and Air Force Lt.
Col. John D. Loftis, of Paducah,
Ky.
White House press secretary
Jay Carney said the violence will
not speedupthetimelinefor troop
withdrawal. He answered ques-
tions about whether the war is
worthwhile, given its unpopulari-
ty bothinthe UnitedStates andin
Afghanistan, by pointing to Presi-
dent Barack Obamas rationale for
expanding the war early in his
presidency.
The No. 1 priority, the reason
whyU.S. troopsareinAfghanistan
in the first place, is to disrupt, dis-
mantle and ultimately, ultimately
defeat Al Qaida, Carney said.
State Department spokeswo-
man Victoria Nuland praised Af-
ghan President Hamid Karzais ef-
forts to calmthe situation.
This is a relationshipthat is ve-
ry important to both of us, Nu-
land told reporters.
About 40 people have been
killed in protests and related at-
tacks, including four U.S. soldiers,
after NATO troops inadvertently
burned several Qurans in a trash
fire last week. U.S. officials have
apologized for the burning of the
books.

BEIRUT A Syrian activist group
said Monday that 135 people have been
killed across the country, including 64
who died while fleeing an embattled ar-
ea in the central city of Homs.
The group did not say whether all 135
died on Monday or were killed over the
past several days.
Central Homs has been under siege
for nearly four weeks, making it difficult
for rescue workers to get to the wound-
ed and for families to bring their injured
and dead to the hospital or aid stations.
The high casualty figures reported by
the Local Coordination Committees,
one of the main Syrian activist groups,
demonstrated the increasingly bloody
toll the conflict is taking on Syria,
where President Bashar Assad is trying
to suppress an uprising of Syrians de-
manding he step down.
The group said 64 of those who died
were trying to flee shelling in the Homs
neighborhood of Baba Amr when they
were killed at a security checkpoint in
the citys Abil area.
The dead included three women,
three children and four soldiers, the
group said. It did not specify whether
the soldiers had defected to the opposi-
tion.
It said 47 of the bodies were found be-
tween the villages of al-Ghajar and al-
Tanouna, and that 17 others were found
north of the village of Sid al-Shindakhi-
yeh. All of those villages are located in
central Syria, near Homs, which has
taken a central role in the Syrian upris-
ing.
A second activist group, the Britain-
based Syrian Observatory for Human
Rights, said 68 bodies had been brought
to the hospital in Homs and that they
were found between the villages of Ram
al-Anz and al-Ajriyeh.
Casualties across Syria at 135, activist group says
Sixty-four died while trying to flee
shelling by government, group says.

Cheryl Lynn Keil. After a divorce,
he later married Mildred Kunzig.
Mr. Keil worked for Philco Cor-
poration in Philadelphia, where as
Chief Engineer; he oversawthe de-
sign and development of televi-
sion, radioandstereoproducts. He
was the Head Designer of Philco
televisions. In 1960, Ford Motor
Company purchased Philco, and
Mr. Keil continued there as Chief
Engineer: Auto Radio with global
responsibility for all Ford vehicle
radio and stereo design. Mr. Keil
supervised 155 engineers at Ford.
Mr. Keil frequently traveled to
Detroit to report project progress
to Henry Ford and Lee Iaccoca,
and knew both of them quite well.
He traveled widely throughout the
world to supervise the manufac-
ture of electronic parts.
In 1977, Mr. Keil took early re-
tirement from Ford and moved to
his beloved farm in Douglas Hol-
lowin Mehoopany. Previously, the
farm had been a deer hunting ven-
ue for Mr. Keil, and over time he
rebuilt the house andaddeda large
shop outbuilding. He became an
active farmer, raising steers and
chickens, which he balanced with
his work in the community.
An accomplished cook, his
pumpkin pies, German potato sal-
ad, bread and butter pickles, and
homemade bread were sought for
community pot luck suppers, holiday
feasts and guests. His buckwheat
blueberry pancakes were renowned,
andhe personally pickedthe blueber-
ries. He taught adult Sunday school
at the Methodist church, traced his
family ancestry in Germany, loved
ballet, and was an accomplished ball-
room dancer who loved to waltz,
played the guitar on the radio in his
highschool years inDecatur, andwas
drum major with the marching band
there. He loved hiking the hills of
Douglas Hollow.
Rotary was an essential and enor-
mous aspect of Mr. Keils life in
WyomingCounty. Hewas committed
to helping others, and fervently em-
braced Rotarys mission. He served
as a District Governor in1986-87, and
was an influential leader and gener-
ous contributor for all his years in the
Tunkhannock region. He took pride
inhis regular attendance, andworked
hard to achieve Rotary goals, locally
and globally.
Many, many other organizations
benefited from his dedication, ideas
and energy. Tyler Hospital, Regional
Girl Scouts, PlannedParenthood, the
Historical Society, andUnitedWayto
name just a few of the many. He was
often a hard-working board member
of these organizations, as well as a fi-
nancial contributor.
Mr. Keil is survived by his second
wife, Mildred Kunzig Keil; his daugh-
ters, Sandra Brown and Sherry Ro-
bertson; his grandson, Jonathan
Brown; Jonathans wife, Alison; two
great-grandsons, HudsonandGriffin,
as well as his stepchildren, Robin
Stewart, Leslie Wibel and Bruce
Wright, and their children and grand-
children.
A memorial service will be held
on Thursday at 11 a.m. in the Tunk-
hannock United Methodist Church.

Amid layoffs in other Luzerne
County government offices, Chief
Public Defender Al Flora is publicly
advertisingfor a newassistant.
County Interim Manager Tom
Pribula said Flora requested the ad-
vertisement becauseit takes timeto
receive and process applications,
though he did not give himpermis-
siontohire. That
decision will be
left to incoming
CountyManager
Robert Lawton,
Pribula said.
The 11-mem-
ber county coun-
cil had agreed
withPribulasrecommendationfora
hiring freeze to continue scaling
backstaff throughattrition.
A council majority approved a
2012 budget that raises taxes 2 per-
cent,requiresanestimated56layoffs
and taps $1.4 million in past bor-
rowedfunds tohelprepaydebt.
Council members warnedfurther
cuts will be necessary in 2013 be-
causethe$1.4millionwont beavail-
able again and another tax increase
is unlikely.
Flora said he is soliciting help be-
causehelost twoassistant publicde-
fenders this year and another posi-
tion has been vacant since 2009. He
saidhewill proceedwithinterviews
hopingtheadministrationwill agree
tofill one or all three positions.
CountyController Walter Griffith
saidhecomplainedabout thejobad-
vertisement to county officials and
will publiclyobject if Florais permit-
tedtofill vacant positions whenoth-
er departments are losingworkers.
Griffith said he has two layoffs in
his office, which will slow up the
completion of audits. The help-
wantedadgoes against the countys
mandate of a hiringfreeze, he said.
This year I think its critical the
publicdefenderdoesmorewithless.
Hisofficeisnodifferentthantheoth-
ers, Griffithsaid.
Florasofficewasprojectedtohave
two layoffs, but Flora avoided them
byshiftingmoneyfromanotherpart
of his budget primarilyfundingfor
specialexaminationsandexpertwit-
nesses, he said.
Flora said his budget now allows
$72,000 for examinations and wit-
nesses, compared to the $138,366
spent last year.
Overall, the Public Defenders Of-
fice spent $2.68 million in 2011 and
will receive$2.5millionthis year a
6.7percent reduction.
The public defender said he will
try to contain spending on evalua-
tions and witnesses but will have to
come back to the county for addi-
tional fundingif thereducedfunding
runs out.
Pribula has made it clear depart-
ments cant expect more funding if
they shortchanged on expense to
save jobs.
The public defender will have to
continue to manage his budget,
Pribula said.
Flora said layoffs would have
forcedhimtoclose a model juvenile
unit. He did not pursue litigation
against the county over budget cuts
but said he submitted written state-
mentsarguinghisofficedoesnthave
fundingtomeet constitutional man-
dates.
Its a mess. I was put between a
rockandhardplace, Flora said.

abolishment of several elected
row officer posts.
Nineteen AFSCME employees
are facing layoff now and one
mapping worker will be fur-
loughed at the end of August, ac-
cording to information from two
sources.
The tentative breakdown of
AFSCME layoffs by department
is: assessors, four; security, three;
register of wills, two; building
and grounds, two; and one in the
mailroom, clerk of courts, proth-
onotary, 911, purchasing, treasur-
er, controller and road and
bridge.
Of these, five workers have vol-
untarily agreed to a layoff, the
sources said.
Six part-time sheriff deputy
workers andfivevacant AFSCME
positions also will be eliminated.
Probation officer Charles Ma-
jikes, headof theunionrepresent-
ing probation and domestic rela-
tions officers, has already con-
firmed the layoff of two juvenile
and three adult probation offi-
cers.
Fifteen prison union workers
also have been identified for lay-
off, and county council has not
decided whether to accept a
union pay freeze that will reduce
that number to five newer prison
guards on probationary status.
John Ulichney, one of the pro-
bationary prison workers, said he
andtheother four werelaidoff on
Feb. 24, a day before the end of
their 90-day probationary status.
Ulichney said the five had been
told they would work until Feb.
29, which would have allowed
them to complete probation and
fully qualify for union rights, in-
cluding a three-year recall if va-
cancies arise. They also will lose
health insurance coverage March
1, instead of the April 1extension
afforded to other furloughed
county employees, he said.
Roughly 15 nonunion workers
also are on the layoff list, accord-
ing to multiple sources.
Sheriff John Gilligan con-
firmed he is among them.
The 15 includes one assessors
department manager, three 911
workers, a former commissioner
executive assistant, the controll-
ers office deputy and three pris-
on managers.
County District Attorney Ste-
fanie Salavantis said she chose
not to fill five vacant positions to
prevent layoffs.
We are working hard within
the office to make sure every case
has enough support staff. Its
been stressful around here, but
everybodys picking up the
slack, she said.

Its going to be the next big
revolution in aviation.
Dan Elwell
The Aerospace Industries Associations vice
president for civil aviation recently described a
demand for drones, useful for police departments,
border patrols, power companies, news organizations and others
wanting a birds-eye view thats too impractical or dangerous for
conventional planes or helicopters to get.
County council, judges
responsible for oversight
P
oor attorney Angela Stevens.
What is her punishment going to be?
Probably not much. Her law partner
stated the office is going to undertake a
comprehensive review of all these records
We want to get this right.
I am not a learned person, such as the
distinguished judges or the elected Lu-
zerne County Council members, but I have
some advice for President Judge Thomas
Burke and county council.
A wise man told me in my youth that
an organization only does well in those
things that the boss checks. You are the
boss. If you dont want to check on the
areas that you supervise, then dont be the
boss. I am sure that someone else is wait-
ing to take your place.
Second, you can delegate your authority,
but you cannot delegate your responsib-
ility.
Although President Judge Burke gave
Judge Tina Polachek Gartley the authority
to oversee the fund, he could not relieve
himself of the responsibility of the proper
disbursement of the fund.
The same holds true for the new county
council; you can appoint a county manager
and give him all the authority you want to
manage the affairs of the county, but you
cannot give him your responsibility for
ensuring that what he does in your name
is in accordance with the countys new
charter. Remember that.

Prison unions proposal
contained no concession
I
f the latest proposal from Mr. Tony Sei-
well and the LIUNA Public Service Em-
ployees Union Local 1310 is to be per-
ceived by the residents of Luzerne County
as a concession by the prison union mem-
bers, I shudder to think of what a contrac-
tual disagreement looks like.
Looking beyond the fact that this union
and all of the county unions seemingly
refused to consider any changes to their
contracts while the budget was open, we
now have the prison union stating that in
lieu of their raises for this year, the county
can lay off only the five probationary em-
ployees and has to guarantee there will be
no further furloughs, layoffs or staff reduc-
tions for budgetary reasons through the
end of their contract in December 2013.
Additionally, if the county wants to recall
any of the furloughed employees, it must
first recall the probationary employees
before they recall the soon-to-be-fur-
loughed management employees.
Please note this concession does not
even take into account the reality that
there probably will be further cuts to the
workforce next year due to the inclusion of
one-time fixes in the budget for this year;
so that means the other unions that are
not as magnanimous as the prison union
will have to shoulder a disproportionate
amount of layoffs and/or the residents will
have to suffer through another tax in-
crease.
This sham proposal is a slap in the face
to the hardworking residents of this county
who are shouldering a tax increase this
year, and many of whom will not get a pay
raise to offset the increase in taxes.
I have a counteroffer to Mr. Seiwell, and
it is to put on the table a rollback of the
out-of-touch benefits (sick days, vacation,
holiday, medical) many of your union
members enjoy. Now that would be a con-
cession worth discussing.
I strongly implore Mr. Tom Pribula, Mr.
Robert Lawton and the county council
members to reject this lame attempt and
send a strong message that real compro-
mise involves give and take from both
sides, not just take from the union and give
from the county.

Lawyer who double-billed
should be held accountable
W
hen will all this stop? Apparently
another case of an individual, in this
instance attorney Angela Stevens,
over-billing Luzerne County and, hence,
taxpayers.
Ms. Stevens indicated it was a billing
error.
Im having trouble with the facts, as The
Times Leader reported of her billing 26, 35
and 46 hours in one day.
Do you believe that she was not aware of
such an oversight?
For starters, she immediately should
return $92,192, which is the difference
between her fees and the next highest
attorney fees submitted, and then deter-
mine if the remaining $52,362 needs to be
rectified.
Fridays article (Double trouble: At-
torney billing probed) also includes lax
oversight as an issue. Yes, this too needs to
be improved, because there are people who
will try to sneak things by our govern-
ment.
But the one who is most accountable is
Ms. Stevens. She probably should be repri-
manded for this and accept accountability
for what she reportedly did.
Who knows how long it would have
gone on had The Times Leader not in-
vestigated?

Become better informed
about political candidates
P
olitical consultant James Carvilles
famous assessment maintains that in
Pennsylvania you have Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh and, in between, Alabama. I
dont know about that, but certainly mid-
dle Pennsylvania is more conservative
politically more Republican. It can even
claim a Bible Belt.
I moved to Scranton 15 and a half years
ago from Harrisburg. I love my adopted
home as much as my hometown. There are
thoughtful people in both South-central
and Northeastern Pennsylvania. The choic-
es of political candidates elected in both
regions are, however, sometimes befud-
dling.
The fact that our three congressmen
(Tom Marino in the 10th District, Lou
Barletta in the 11th and Tim Holden in the
17th) can be described as two tea par-
tiers and a blue dog is particularly vex-
ing. We arent a bunch of yahoos up here
and dont want to be thought of that way.
So what do we do?
We become better informed about the
voting records of our elected officials:
local, state and national. And we need to
look for alternatives. Many of us are read-
ers who need to read a bit outside our
preferred genres into the sphere of politics.
Especially in this election season!
A remarkable thing happened in Scran-
ton at the Borders liquidation sale late last
year. (Borders is now BAM, Books a Mil-
lion.) People swamped the place in search
of books at bargain prices. In fact, North-
eastern Pennsylvania so represented itself
that other Borders far away sent books
here to be sold because liquidation wasnt
occurring as speedily there. Northeastern
Pennsylvania loves books all kinds of
books.
Sophistication reigns here! We arent
Alabama!

K

TS BEEN THREE and a
half years since Pennsyl-
vanias Clean Indoor Air
Act went into effect, and
its time to update the rules so
more workplaces can become
smoke-free.
It took15 years for the lawto
win passage, and although it
was a hard-fought victory, the
measure was not perfect. It has
too many exemptions for pri-
vate clubs, casinos, bars that
dont serve meals or that have
separate restaurants, and other
businesses.
If you think these categories
dont amount to much, consid-
er this fromtheAmericanLung
Association: Statewide, there
are 2,800 workplaces that al-
low indoor smoking under the
law. (Of that total, 195 are in
Luzerne County.) Most of the
exempt facilities are bars that
get 20 percent or less of their
business from the sale of food.
Sen. Stewart Greenleaf, the
Montgomery County Republi-
can who led the campaign for
the current smoking law, is try-
ing to eliminate most of the ex-
emptions with Senate Bill 35.
The 2008 law protects many
of its residents from second-
hand smoke in the workplace,
but removing most of its ex-
emptions would create a mea-
ningful ban.
It shouldnt take another 15
years for the Legislature to
pass it.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
OTHER OPINION: SMOKE-FREE LAW
Exemptions foul
workplace air
S
NAP OUT OF it, sour-
pusses. The economic
situationacross the na-
tion, and in Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania, continues to
improve, and the sooner you
recognize it, the faster you
probably can advance your
own lot in life while also giving
a helpful prod to the communi-
ty.
Thats not a statement made
for political purposes, so dont
accuse us of pro-President
Obama cheerleading. Nor is it
an echo of Clint Eastwoods
Its Halftime in America
monologue on the Motor
Citys, and the countrys, resil-
ience.
No, this message based on
our reading of the data and, ad-
mittedly, a dash of innate opti-
mism is consistent with The
Times Leaders editorials dur-
ing and immediately after the
horrible 2007-09 recession.
Fear not. The sky, though
cloud-covered, is not falling.
For the latest round of evi-
dence, look no further than
Mondays business news:
WASHINGTON (AP)
The number of Americans who
signed contracts to buy homes
rose in January to the highest
level in nearly two years, sup-
porting the viewthat the hous-
ing market is gradually coming
back.
DETROIT (AP) Auto

sales are growing so fast that
Detroit can barely keep up.
Three years after the U.S. au-
to industry nearly collapsed,
sales of cars and trucks are
surging. Sales could exceed 14
million this year, above last
years 12.8 million.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) Bil-

lionaire Warren Buffett said
Monday that stocks remainrel-
atively cheap compared to oth-
er investments as the economy
continues to improve.
NEW YORK (AP) Lowes

Cos. said Monday its fiscal
fourth-quarter net income rose
13percent, better thananalysts
expected, as homeowners took
on more home-improvement
projects during mild winter
months.
The results are the latest
sign that the housing sector
may slowly be improving.
Oil prices and international

turmoil as well as political
squabbles within the United
States still threaten to derail
this turtle-paced recovery. And
millions of people stung by the
brutal downturn, including the
long-term jobless and those
who lost their homes, deserve
continued support from our
charitable groups and, where
practical, government.
Yet the more significant
stumbling blocks to a full-
blown American revival now
might be psychological: to suc-
cumb to self-pity or fear, to
make decisions based on
doubt, to fail to act.
Dont fall into those traps.
Dont worry about what was.
Certain pockets of the Greater
Wyoming Valleys population
typically have been prone to
wallow in bygone days rather
thantolookahead. That would
be a mistake today.
Prepare for the future pre-
sumably, a better one.

home state of Georgia and near-
by Southern states that also vote
on the mega-contest day of
March 6.
The former House speaker
told reporters Sunday: We hope
to win in Georgia, we hope to do
well in Oklahoma and Tennes-
see. We may surprise people in
Idaho. We think we have a real
fighting chance in Ohio.
Ron Paul also planned events
in upcoming states, showing no
willingness to abandon his quest
to rack up enough delegates to
ensure his followers have a voice
at the late-summer convention
and that the Republican Party
that once spurned himwelcomes
him back into the fold.
All of the divergent strategies
suggest the race couldgodeepin-
to March if not beyond
without giving any of the candi-
dates a significant edge.
Its a scenariothat all the candi-
dates are anticipating.
Look, this is goingtobe a long
race, andtheres goingtobe some
ups and downs, Santorum, a for-
mer Pennsylvania senator, said
Sunday on ABCs This Week.
On Fox News Sunday, Rom-
ney, a former Massachusetts gov-
ernor, chimedinwith: Howlong
the process goes on, I think its
hard to predict.
Gingrich argued that a drawn-
out campaign would give states
like California, which holds its
primary June 5, a large role in the
nominating contest.
Heading into Tuesdays con-
tests, Romney leads inthe race to
amass the most delegates with
123. Santorumhas 72, while Gin-
grich and Paul have 32 and19, re-
spectively. The totals include en-
dorsements fromRepublican Na-
tional Committee members who
will automatically attendthe par-
tys national convention and can
support any candidate they
choose.
A candidate needs 1,144 dele-
gates to secure the nomination.
Arizona and Michigan each
lost half their delegates for hold-
ing contests before March 6.
Whoever wins Arizona, where
polls show Romney with a lead,
will get all 29 of the states dele-
gates. But Michigan will divide
its 30 delegates by giving 2 to the
winner of each of the 14 congres-
sional districts in the state.
The final 2 delegates are
awarded in proportion to the
statewide vote, probably to the
top two candidates, if both get
more than 25 percent of the vote.
Washingtons caucuses are Sat-
urday, when 40 delegates are at
stake, followedbySuper Tuesday
contests in Alaska (24), Georgia
(76), Idaho (32), Massachusetts
(38), NorthDakota (28), Oklaho-
ma (40), Ohio (63), Tennessee
(55), Vermont (17) and Virginia
(46). Also, Wyoming Republi-
cans will hold county conven-
tions from March 6 through
March 10, with 12 delegates up
for grabs.
After Tuesday, Delaware is the
only state that awards all of its
delegates to the one candidate
who wins the popular vote, giv-
ing every candidate a chance to
add to their totals.
With Gingrich the home-state
favorite in Georgia, the state of-
fering the most delegates on Su-
per Tuesday, Romney and Santo-
rum were turning to Ohio, the
state with the second-biggest Su-
per Tuesday cache.
Romney was expected to head
straight there from Michigan on
Wednesday.
Santorum wasnt even waiting
until the votes were counted and
planned to go to nearby Toledo
today.

who stands strong on social and
family issues, really have a
chance to win the White House?
I truly believe the independ-
ents out there will vote Obama
out, Zambito said. A lot of peo-
ple have the country at heart.
Morality is what this country
stands for old school thats
America.
Tom Tobin of Franklin Town-
ship pulled up a seat at the coun-
ter and joined the conversation.
Hes supporting Santorum as of
right now.
I thinkhalf thecountryis wait-
ing for that guy from New Jersey
to jump in the game, and he
might, Tobin said, referring to
Gov. Chris Christie.
Tobin said he likes everything
Santorum is saying. Theres no
doubletalk, he said. Hes got to
stick to his plan.
And he doesnt like Mitt Rom-
ney, the guy Santorum is trying
to wrest the GOP nomination
from as the campaign settled in
Michigan today for a crucial pri-
mary vote.
He has too much money, To-
bin said of Romney. Hes not one
of us.
Zambito shot back, I have
moneyandImoneof us. But real-
ly, anybody but Obama.
Tobin said Romney looks like
hes worried, not a good image to
project. HesaidSantorum, onthe
other hand, looks like a man on
his way to the top.
Ted Wampole of Wilkes-Barre
supports Santorum, but he
doesnt agree with all of his con-
victions.
Alot of what he says resonates
with the mood of the country,
Wampole said. He doesnt be-
lieve inthe absolute separationof
churchandstate, andI agreewith
that. He believes in less govern-
ment intrusions and he believes
it takes a family to raise a child,
not a village.
Wampole believes Santorum
has a chance to win the GOP
nomination.
Right now, everybody has a
chance, he said of Romney, San-
torumandformer HouseSpeaker
Newt Gingrich. I like Santorum,
but he has a tough road ahead
and not as much money as Rom-
ney.
Wampole finds Santorum like-
able, but acknowledges the can-
didate has detractors.
You either like him, or hate
him, he said. He is a polarizing
candidate who represents the far
right, and I dont think thats a
bad thing.
Wampole also wants to see
Pennsylvania voters have a voice
in the election process. The
Pennsylvania primary is sched-
uled for April 24, but a partisan
battle over redistricting could
see the primary moved.
SANTORUM
reported the results of an investi-
gation that showed Stevens had
repeatedly double billed the
county for travel to the cour-
thouse in 2011.
Stevens, of Kingston, has ad-
mitted she made errors regard-
ing the travel charges. The coun-
ty is in the process of obtaining
proposals from outside account-
ing firms to conduct a forensic
audit of the account from which
Stevensandother attorneyswere
paid.
Mawson, 40, of Pittston, said
he thought county officials
looked into the matter when he
first reported his suspicions.
County records show Stevens
submitted two bills for work she
performed on Mawsons case in
March and April, one for
$3,360.50 for 61.1 hours of work,
and a second for $605 for 11
hours. Shewas paid$55per hour.
Mawson said he questioned
how Stevens could have charged
so much for his case, given that
she withdrew from representing
himbefore the termination hear-
ing was even held. He said he
learned about the charges after
Stevens mentioned the amount
at the hearingbefore a judge who
had to decide whether to let Ste-
vens withdraw.
Shechargedthecounty... and
didnt even represent me, Maw-
son said. I could see if she went
the duration, but she withdrew
as counsel.
A review of Stevens billings
for April show Mawson had
cause to question the charges.
Based on Mawsons claims, a
reporter reviewed all charges
Stevens submitted for eight
dates in April on which she
claimed to have worked on Maw-
sons case.
The invoices show on April 18
Stevens charged the county for
23.8hoursof workonsixcases, of
which 16.1 hours were for Maw-
son. OnApril 21, Stevenscharged
for a total of 22.9 hours for nine
cases, of which8.7hours werefor
Mawson.
The other six dates also show
long hours, ranging from 12
hours onApril 19to17.4hours on
April 28. All workwas directlyre-
lated to the cases, such as prep-
aration of documents, meeting
with clients and telephone calls.
Stevens did not immediately
respondtoanemail sent Monday
evening to her law partner,
James Pyrah, that sought an ex-
planation for the April charges.
Urban, now a county council-
man, said he met with Mawson
after he contacted him to com-
plain about Stevens representa-
tion. Part of the conversation fo-
cused on her billing, Urban said.
He said she didnt spend as
much time on the case that she
billed for, Urban said.
UrbansaidhecontactedDeLu-
ca and asked himto look into the
matter.
I askedhimto look at the bills
because this guy was complain-
ing. He didnt believe he received
the appropriate level of service,
Urban said
DeLuca said his recollection is
that Urban focused on a separate
concern Mawson raised which
turned out to be unfounded re-
garding the attorney who was
representing Mawsons ex-wife.
He does not recall Urban saying
anything about billing irregular-
ities.
There was no allegation of
anytypeof billingissue, DeLuca
said. That is something I abso-
lutely would follow up on.
Stevens was among 18 attor-
neys the county retained last
year to represent parents who
face having their rights to their
children terminated. The attor-
neys were paid from a special
fund, which was established in
2011, held by the Public Defend-
ers Office.
Stevens was paid more than
$144,000 fromthe fund, of which
at least $38,000 came fromtravel
time she charged to deliver her
invoices to the court for pay-
ment. The Times Leaders inves-
tigation showed she charged a
separate travel fee for each pet-
ition she delivered, even though
they appear to have been deliver-
ed in one trip.
Countyandcourt officialshave
struggled to explain why no one
caught the issues with Stevens
billings. Judge Tina Polachek
Gartley, who approved the pay-
ments, acknowledged she never
checked invoices for accuracy.
Controller Walter Griffithsaidhe
did not review them because he
thought the courts had done so.
DeLuca said theres a lot of
finger pointing going on since
the story broke. He said he be-
lieved he handled the situation
appropriately, given the informa-
tion he had at the time.
I hadnoinvolvement withthe
payment process. Whether or
not it should have been caught
sooner, I believe everyone in-
volved agrees it should have
been. It should have never hap-
pened to begin with, but it did,
DeLuca said.
DeLuca said, at Urbans re-
quest, heobtainedareport onthe
total amount that waspaidtoSte-
vens as of November, which at
the time was around $98,000.
DeLuca said he thought the
amount was high, but he was not
suspicious because he felt that
was largely due to the fact Ste-
vens handled many more cases
than other 17 other attorneys.
DeLuca said he also knew the
bills had been approved by a
county judge, and had also been
reviewedbyChief PublicDefend-
er Al Flora and Griffith.
I had no reason to believe any
investigation I would have done
at the time would turn up any-
thing. It had already gone
through the courts and the con-
troller, DeLuca said.

April 18, a work day in the life:
Other high-hour days:
year.
Under the 2001 maps, which
likely will be usedagainthis year,
FairviewTownshipis inthe119th
District, now represented by
Rep. Gerry Mullery, D-Newport
Township.
Mailloux, a Republican, chose
not to solicit petitions in the
119th because another Republi-
can, Rick Arnold, of Rice Town-
ship, was already declared. Ar-
nold narrowly lost to Mullery
two years ago.
It would have been counter-
productive to run against Rick
Arnold, Mailloux said.
McCabe, an assistant Luzerne
County district attorney from
Kingston, faced challenges to his
petition filed by Charles Jackson
of West Wyoming and Anthony
Perzia of Luzerne.
With only 325 signatures, the
challengers argued that fewer
than the 300 required by law
would survive validation.
McCabe agreed, saying he did
not want to incur legal fees and
take the time it would take prov-
ing the validity of every signa-
ture.
Its disappointing, but its the
democratic process and I have to
deal with it, he said. He blamed
alatedecisiontoenter theraceas
the reason he failed to collect a
challenge-proof number of signa-
tures.
With McCabe out of the pic-
ture, Mundys only challenger is
Republican Aaron Kaufer of
Kingston.
With Mailloux dropping his
bid, Rep. EddieDayPashinski, D-
Wilkes-Barre, will have no Re-
publican challenger on the ballot
this fall, though a third party or
write-in candidate is possible.
That Legislative Reapportion-
ment Commission was slated to
meet today in Harrisburg, but on
Monday the commission an-
nounced its meeting has been
postponed until Friday at 1 p.m.
CANDIDATES
Theres a little bit of a conflict
there to have a person accused of
billing errors have their own fo-
rensic audit. Thats ridiculous,
DeLuca said. I have no problem
with her paying the bill for it, but
its something that should be
handled independently by the
county and the courts.
The county is seeking the au-
dit based on the findings of a
Times Leader investigation that
showed Stevens, who was ap-
pointed to represent parents in
danger of losing their parental
rights, repeatedly double billed
the county for travel time to de-
liver invoices for work she per-
formedtothecourthousein2011.
In her letter, Stevens said she
had forwarded all billing records
relating to the county from June
2010 through December 2011 to
Forensic Solutions.
Our office has no prior rela-
tionship with this company. We
also intentionally selected a firm
outside of the county. In this
manner, the county can be as-
suredthat theprocessshall beob-
jective, Stevens said.
The letter does not indicate
where the firm is located. An In-
ternet search for Forensic Solu-
tions revealed a firm by that
nameinWest Fargo, N.D. It could
not beconfirmedMondaywheth-
er that is the firm Stevens has
hired.
Stevens said the law firm will
sharetheconclusions of theaudit
with the county once it is com-
pleted in the hope that we can
promptly rectify any errors they
should identify.
We remain committed to
working with you to resolve this
matter and we sincerely regret
any inconvenience this issue has
caused the county and the
court, Stevens said.
AUDIT

The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
Penguins have a problem.
They cant beat the NorfolkAdmirals.
Althoughthey playedadmirably in
spurts Sunday, the Penguins lost a game
toNorfolkthey felt they neededtowin.
Again.
Remember howthe Admirals ended
Wilkes-Barres/Scrantons winningest
seasonway tooearly witha three-goal
flurry that flooredthe Penguins inthe
secondroundof last years playoffs?
ThenNorfolkcame backandpushed
the Penguins aroundontheir home ice
this season, winningall five games the
twoplayedat MoheganSunArena.
Andina game the Penguins felt they
neededtowinSunday, not only tosave
face but tomove intofirst place, it was
Norfolkfindinga way towinit.
We wantedtowinthat one bad, Pen-
guins defensemanAlexandre Picardsaid.
That seems like a badomenfor Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton.
Because evenif the Penguins rally from
four points backtotake the East Division
fromNorfolkover the final stretchof the
season, the Admirals will most certainly
be waitingfor themsomewhere inthe
postseason.
Wedlove it, WBSPenguins coach
JohnHynes shot back.
Brave words or false bravado?
Hey, its not as if the Penguins will pack
it inat the mere sight of blue andorange
Norfolkjerseys.
They grabbed, pulledandtuggedat
Norfolks East Divisionleadthroughout
Sunday, startingwithJoey Morminas
hammeringhit that knockedEric Neilson
intothe boards andknockedthe Norfolk
wingers helmet off.
Hats off tothe Admirals, though.
They got the game-winner they needed
whenCarter Ashtonrolleda goal off the
backof Penguins netminder Patrick
Killeenwith2:04left. Killeenwas playing
well inhis first AHLstart. Ashtonwas
playinghis last game for Norfolk, since he
was tradedtoTorontohours later.
But once again, the Penguins appeared
tobe playingwithfire whenthey got
burnedby Norfolk.
I dont thinkthey sawour best game
all year, though, Penguins center Ben
Street said. Weve playedwell for a peri-
od. Take10minutes off, andthey score.
Its got tobe a 60-minute effort.
Thats the difference betweenthe Pen-
guins andNorfolk.
The Admirals canget by withless than
their best andstill win. Wilkes-Barre/
Scrantoncant.
We hope we play theminthe playoffs,
Picardsaid. Theyve wonhere. But weve
wonthere, too. I dont feel like they have
our number.
Numbers dont deceive anyone.
The Penguins have playedNorfolk
eight games this seasonandwonjust two
of them, andnot one of those victories
came inWilkes-Barre/Scrantons home
building. Thats a trendunlikely to
change.
The Penguins will eventually have Brad
Thiessenbackingoal, after he was pro-
motedtoPittsburghas a backuplast week
andearnedhis first NHLvictory Sunday.
But not muchelse is likely tochange for
the Penguins, whomade nomoves before
Mondays trade deadline passed.
It appears what yousee is what youare
goingtoget whenthese teams matchup.
This seems tobe one of the rivalries
thats really pickedup, Street said. This
is one of the better rivalries we have.
Its not really a rivalry whenone team
makes it soone-sided.

Penguins new
arch enemy
hails from Va.
The celebrations were well-earned.
But for three local college teams, its
time to get back to work.
For those three teams, the season
continues.
Joining both Misericordia basketball
teams in the NCAA Division III tour-
nament is the Kings womens squad,
which earned an at-large invitation on
Monday afternoon.
Misericordia both the men and the
women had clinched automatic
berths by each winning the Freedom
Conference title on Saturday.
Both Cougars teams will be on the
road in the first round as the men play
at NYU at 7 p.m. Thursday and the
women travel to Massachusetts to face
Tufts on Friday.
The Lady Monarchs, meanwhile,
will host a four-team pod in the first
two rounds of the womens tourna-
ment, starting with an opener against
SUNY Oneonta on Friday at Scandlon
Gymnasium.
Times for the womens games are
expected to be announced today.
It is the first trip to the NCAAs for
the two Cougars squads. The Lady
Monarchs last qualified in 2003.
Monday afternoon began very differ-
ently for the two schools. Much of the
Misericordia mens roster gathered in
the Hall of Fame room at the Ander-
son Center to watch the online selec-
tion show on the NCAAs website.
There was some definite excite-
ment, Cougars coach Trevor Wood-
ruff said. At first you almost dont
even notice who you play. They put
the bracket up and all the teams are
there. You see yours and you cele-
brate.
Then you take a deep breath and
look back at who youre playing what
and what the next game might be.
For the Misericordia men, the issue
wasnt so much who they were playing

EXETER It cant be said
Wyoming Valley West was
looking ahead.
The Spartans were too busy
being mobbed by purple-clad
Wallenpaupack players to see
all the way to Fridays district
final.
The Buckhorns smothering
defense forced 22 turnovers
and limited Valley West to 22
percent shooting as Wallen-
paupack defeated the WVC
Division I champions 42-33 in
the District 2 Class 4A girls
basketball semifinals Monday
at Wyoming Area.
The win sends Wallenpau-
pack(15-8) tothe state tourna-
ment next week after first fac-
ing either Abington Heights
or Hazleton Area in the dis-
trict final Fri-
day. Valley
West has its
season end at
19-6.
That was
the most fire
Ive seen my
team play
with ever, Buckhorns coach
Robin Scartelli said. This is
the first time Wallenpaupack
has played at the district level
in seven years.
Valley West struggled from
the onset, trailing for all but

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. First came
the rain. Then came the fire.
Everything that could go wrong with
this Daytona 500 did go wrong, and the
first Daytona 500 race in primetime tele-
vision will be remembered for everything
but the eventual winner.
Journeyman driver Dave Blaney was
leading when a problem with Juan Pablo
Montoyas car sent him spinning into a
safety truck.
The truck, which holds 200 gallons of
jet kerosene, burst intoflames. Montoyas
car slid into the grass, and he gingerly
climbed from it as fire trucks rushed to
the scene. The inferno raged on, and
NASCAR red-flagged the race with 40
laps remaining.
NASCAR officials were examining the
track surface to determine whether the
race could continue.

results, go to www.timesleader.com.
Darren Stucker is in a familiar
position.
Forthesecondconsecutiveyear,
the Meyers senior is entering this
weekends Class 2A Northeast Re-
gional as the District 2 champion.
Last weekend, the 145-pounder
pinned Western Waynes Manny
Miraih in 3:46
for the districts
gold medal and
earned the No. 1
seed in his
bracket for re-
gionals. Last
year at 135, he
defeatedHanov-
er Areas John
Elick via major decision to claim
his first district championship.
This season, hes accomplished
the feats with a 21-4 record.
Thats a good start, Stucker
said about his two district titles.
But what Imreally trying to do is
get to the state tournament.
His record may be misleading
becausehemissedtimewithanin-
jury, and two of those losses we-
rent his fault -- losing once due to
injury and once because of a ques-
tionable call leading to a default.
In January, he won the gold
medal at theWyomingValleyCon-
ference Tournament. One of the
tournaments hemissedbecauseof
one his several injuries this season
was at the Bethlehem Christmas
Tournament, where he would
have wrestled competition he will
see this weekend.
Its beenhectic for sure, Stuck-
er said about his season.
But there are some positives on-
ly wrestling in 25 matches, com-
pared to an average of 38 bouts for
the seven other participants in his
bracket this weekend.
Most people are tired around
districts, just kind of waiting for
the season to end and I have some
more weeks togo, saidthe senior,
who has 84 career wins.
In the 2011 regional event,
Stucker went 2-2 and was a win
away from advancing to the PIAA
Championships. Actually, he was
less thanaminuteawayfrommov-
ing on.
He held a one-point advantage
over Line Mountains AdamKritz-
er with 52 seconds remaining in
the third-place bout, a state quali-
fyinground. Thats whenKritzer
who could face Stucker in this
weekendssemifinalspulledout a
reversal and pinned the Mohawk
with just 43 seconds remaining.
Stucker said he used the defeat
as motivation this season by prac-
ticing in the morning, running ex-
tra sprints and trying to finish
ahead of teammates when racing.
He knows this weekend wont be
easy, but as the brackets top seed,
he has as good a chance as anyone
of advancing to the PIAA Cham-
pionships, March 8-10 at Giant
Center in Hershey.
Its going to be bloody. Its not
like it is aroundhere, he said. Ev-
ery match is going to be overtime
every time.

Mets owner expresses
optimistic outlook for year
PORT ST LUCIE, Fla. New York
Mets owner Fred Wilpon says he plans
on owning the team for a long time
despite financial troubles caused by the
collapse of the Bernie Madoff Ponzi
scheme.
Wilpon said Monday he is optimistic
in a favorable outcome in the lawsuit
brought by the trustee against the Mets
owners to recover money for victims of
the scheme.
He expressed optimism that the
Mets will host the 2013 All-Star game
and said the decision on whether to
sign third baseman David Wright to a
long-term contract is in the hands of
general manager Sandy Alderson. In
regards to the payroll drop the Mets
have taken, Wilpon says spending
could increase during the season.
Chavez, Yanks finalize deal
TAMPA, Fla. Eric Chavez and the
New York Yankees have finalized a
$900,000, one-year contract that allows
the backup infielder to earn $3.05 mil-
lion in performance bonuses based on
plate appearances.
The 34-year-old, a six-time Gold
Glove winner, hit .263 with two homers
and 26 RBIs last year, starting 33
games at third and playing a bit at first.
He broke a bone in his left foot on May
5 after just 17 games and didnt return
until July 26.
Chavez would make $50,000 for 75
plate appearances, $100,000 each for
100 and 150, $200,000 apiece for 200
and 250, $300,000 each for 300 and
350, $400,000 apiece for 400 and 450
and $500,000 each for 500 and 550.
New York also placed right-hander
David Aardsma on the 60-day disabled
list Monday.
Report: Varitek to retire
FORT MYERS, Fla. The Boston
Globe is reporting that Boston Red Sox
catcher and captain Jason Varitek has
decided to retire.
The newspaper cited anonymous
sources in reporting that Varitek will
announce his retirement at a press
conference on Thursday.
Varitek spent all 15 of his big league
seasons with the Red Sox. But GM Ben
Cherington signed Jarrod Saltalamac-
chia and Kelly Shoppach to one-year
deals this winter to do the catching.
Cherington offered Varitek an invita-
tion to camp, but the Red Sox had been
practicing for more than a week with-
out him. Varitek caught four no-hitters
and is just the third captain the Red
Sox have had since 1923. He was a
three-time All-Star and helped the Sox
win two World Series titles.

USGA: Expect US Open
to be tougher at Olympic
SAN FRANCISCO If USGA exec-
utive director Mike Davis has his way,
the record low scores at last years U.S.
Open at Congressional are unlikely to
travel to the West Coast.
Davis said Monday at San Franciscos
majestic Olympic Club that the course
will be the hardest start in a U.S.
Open when players tee off June 14.
The unleveled Lake Course in the
serene setting just across the street
from the Pacific Ocean will play at
7,170 yards 373 yards longer than
the last time the tournament hosted
the national championship in 1998
including the 670-yard 16th that could
be the longest Par 5 in Open history.
Windy conditions and the threat of
the citys famous fog also could make
the hilly course even tougher.
NBA
Sixers Hawes to miss
at least two more weeks
PHILADELPHIA Center Spencer
Hawes will miss at least the next two
weeks because of a strained left
Achilles that has forced him to sit out
the Philadelphia 76ers last nine games.
Hawes was examined by Dr. Richard
Ferkel of the Southern California Or-
thopedic Institute during the All-Star
break, the team said in a statement
released Monday. He will no longer
wear a protective boot on his left foot,
but its uncertain when hell play again.
The Atlantic Division-leading Sixers
have lost five straight games. They are
12-2 with Hawes in the lineup, 8-12
without him. The 7-footer is averaging
10.5 points and a team-high 8.3 re-
bounds per game.

I N B R I E F
CLEARWATER, Fla. Phillies first
baseman Ryan Howard is in Baltimore
to have his surgically repaired left
Achilles examined.
Scott Sheridan, the Phillies head ath-
letic trainer, said Monday the visit
wasnt a sign of a setback on Howards
rehabilitation. Weekendreports indicat-
ed that Howard was wearing a bandage
on his left ankle because of a seroma, an
open wound at the surgical point.
Howardwill visit withDr. MarkMyer-
son, who performed the surgery, before
returning to Clearwater Wednesday.
We wanted Ryan to go back and see
Mark, so this is a scheduled appoint-
ment. It just so happens that theres a
nice little adjunct to it, that hes going to
have something else to look at, Sheri-
dan said. The Achilles tendon is noto-
rious for not healing well, the skin over
top of it. The Achilles area doesnt have
a great success rate as far as the skin. It
sometimes has breakdowns and it be-
comes challenging.
Thats not uncommon from the re-
pair. But when things like this happen,
thats whyyousendhimbacktowhodid
the surgery and let him evaluate him.
Howardsuffereda tornleft Achilles in
Game 5 of the National League Division
Series against St. Louis in October. He
is expected to begin the 2012 season on
the disabled list. But during the first
week of spring training, Howard partici-
pated in baseball activities, including
batting practice, infield work and light
jogging.
On Saturday, the day before he left
camp, Howardtookpart inaregular bat-
ting practice drill with teammates Jim
Thome, Juan Pierre and Domonic
Brown. Howard launched more than a
couple of balls over the fence during the
session.
Ryans been doing great, Sheridan
said. Hes been on the field and doing
the things we expected of him at this
point. Were just hoping to keep it in the
right direction.
Howard will likely miss at least the
first month of the season while he con-
tinues his rehabilitate from the Oct. 12
surgery. But thePhillies areaccustomed
toplayingwithout the services of anAll-
Star infielder.
Second baseman Chase Utley was
sidelined throughout spring training
with right knee tendinitis a year ago,
and missed the first seven weeks of the
2011 regular season. Both third base-
manPlacidoPolancoandshortstopJim-
my Rollins have also missed significant
time with injuries in the last two sea-
sons, as well.
The Phillies, in the offseason, added
three veterans Thome, Ty Wigginton
and Laynce Nix who, along with
John Mayberry Jr., figure to see time at
first base while Howard is sidelined.
Obviously, the goal is to want to get
out there as soon as possible, Howard
said last week. But at the same time,
with this, Im just listening to my body
and it will let me knowwhen its ready.

NEW YORK Carl Hagelin
scored late in the first period and
Henrik Lundqvist made the goal
stand up as the New York Rangers
snapped the New Jersey Devils
seven-game road winning streak
with a 2-0 victory on Monday night.
After a relatively quiet NHL trade
deadline day for both teams, the
Eastern Conference-leading Rangers
stretched their advantage to nine
points over Boston and Pittsburgh.
Hagelin gave the Rangers a 1-0
edge with 3:01 left in the first peri-
od. Ryan Callahan added an empty-
netter with 1:06 left, his career-best
25th goal with an assist from
Hagelin to make it 2-0.
Lundqvist, who entered with the
leagues lowest goals-against average
in February, dropped it even further
by making 13 saves for his NHL-
best eighth shutout of the season
and the 43rd of his career. Lundq-
vist made a lunging glove snare
with 2:26 left to rob Ilya Kovalchuk
and secure his 30th win of the sea-
son.
It was the fewest shots allowed
by the Rangers this season.
Martin Brodeur wasnt tested
much, either, in a game played with
an edge on both sides. He finished
with 13 saves for New Jersey, which
lost on the road for the first time
since Jan. 10 at Calgary. The Devils
road run was the longest in the
NHL this season, but they have
dropped three in a row overall fol-
lowing a four-game winning streak.
New Jersey had won two of the
three previous meetings this season,
including a 1-0 victory in New York
on Feb. 7.
Agitating Devils forward David
Clarkson spent most of the night in
the penalty box, serving 19 minutes
including a misconduct and a
fighting major.
Despite being held to only four
shots in the first period and none
until more than seven minutes had
elapsed, the Rangers grabbed the
lead on rookie Hagelins 11th goal.
After the Devils failed to get the
puck out of their zone, New York
defenseman Dan Girardi sent it
behind the net. Callahan shoveled a
quick, short pass in front to Hage-
lin, who slammed a shot in at the
left post.
Predators 2, Kings 1
NASHVILLE, Tenn. Pekka
Rinne made 30 saves in leading the
Nashville Predators to a victory over
the Los Angeles Kings.
Roman Josi and Patric Hornqvist
scored for Nashville, which has won
four of its last five.
Dustin Brown had the lone goal
for Los Angeles. The sliding Kings
have lost five of six. They had de-
feated Nashville in their last three
trips to Music City.
Rinnes 35 wins this season are a
career high and lead the NHL.

The Nashville Predators and Van-
couver Canucks added some rein-
forcements for a playoff run, while
Rick Nashs wish for a deal didnt
come to fruition Monday as the NHL
trade deadline passed without any
blockbuster moves.
Having won a playoff series for the
first time in franchise history a year
ago, the Predators are looking to take
the next step and beyond by
beefing up the offense with left wing
Andrei Kostitsyn and two-way for-
ward Paul Gaustad. Nashville also ac-
quired defenseman Hal Gill earlier
this month and sits in fifth place in
the Western Conference.
I think with these trades weve cer-
tainly given us a chance to play with
the big boys this year when we get in
the playoffs, Predators general man-
ager David Poile said.
The Canucks, sitting atop the NHL
standings with 19 games left in the
regular season, fine-tuned their roster
with three deals that added four play-
ers: checking-line center Samuel
Pahlsson, rookie forward Zack Kas-
sian, defenseman Marc-Andre Grag-
nani and forward Andrew Gordon.
But the player expected to be the
big catch of the day went nowhere.
Nash, captain of the league-worst Co-
lumbus Blue Jackets, requested a
trade last month, according to gener-
al manager Scott Howson. Howson
said there were significant discus-
sions, but no deal was struck.
The price was high, Howson said.
And I dont apologize for that.
Nashs non-trade was emblematic
of a relative tranquil deadline day.
There were 16 deals, but nothing that
came close to altering the fabric of
the NHL universe. The fact that the
postseason remains within reach for
so many teams all but five were
within six points of a playoff spot
when the 3 p.m. deadline passed
created a one-sided market.
The theme of this years deadline
was that everybody wanted to add,
and there was no one selling, said
Washington Capitals general manag-
er George McPhee, who stood pat
even though his team is underper-
forming and in need of a center be-
cause of Nicklas Backstroms concus-
sion.
The Predators spent the future for
the present with their moves, sending
a 2012 first-round draft pick and to
the Buffalo Sabres for Gaustad and a
2013 fourth-round selection. Kostit-
syn, who will be reunited him with
his brother Sergei in Nashville, came
from Montreal for a second-round
and conditional fifth-round pick in
2013.
Everybody pays their prices at dif-
ferent times, Poile said. Most clubs
pay big money at July 1st. We havent
been too notorious in doing that. I
feel real good about paying a little bit
more if thats the case on Feb. 27
when you have 20 games left in the
season to challenge for the playoffs
and to challenge for the Stanley Cup.
While Nash stays in Columbus, the
Blue Jackets did make one move,
sending Pahlsson to the Canucks for
minor-league defenseman Taylor El-
lington and two 2012 fourth-round
draft picks.
The Canucks also shipped rookie
center Cody Hodgson to Buffalo for
Kassian in an exchange of former
first-round draft choices. Rarely used
defenseman Alexander Sulzer also
went to the Sabres for Gragnani as
part of the deal.
Vancouvers third trade sent defen-
seman Sebastien Erixon to the Ana-
heim Ducks for Gordon.

WASHINGTON Playing at home
for the last time, Jason Clark and Hen-
ry Sims combined for 25 points, 12
rebounds and six assists on Senior
Day, helping No. 11 Georgetown beat
No. 20 Notre Dame 59-41 on Monday
night in a key game for Big East tour-
nament seeding.
Clark finished with 13 points and six
rebounds, while Sims had 12 points
and five assists. While they have led
the way all season for Georgetown
(22-6, 12-5) on a roster with 10 fresh-
men and sophomores, there was plenty
of help from the youngsters, as usual.
Greg Whittington contributed 15
points on 5-for-6 shooting, including 3
of 3 on 3-pointers, and another fresh-
man, Otto Porter, had 10 rebounds.
Notre Dame (20-10, 12-5) lost its sec-
ond straight following a school-record,
nine-game Big East winning streak. It
made 3 of 17 3-point attempts, after
going 4 for 31 in a loss at St. Johns on
Saturday.
The Irish shot only 33 percent from
the field overall, and no one scored
more than the nine points from Eric
Atkins and Scott Martin.
Georgetown led by 10 points at half-
time and kept pulling away. Witting-
tons 3 with about 8
1
2 minutes left
capped a 9-0 run that made it 48-29
and pretty much sealed the victory.
Clark and Sims left to a standing
ovation with 1:43 remaining and Ge-
orgetown leading 59-36.
Both the Hoyas and Fighting Irish
are in the running for a top-four seed-
ing and a double-bye into the quarterfi-
nals of the conference tournament. Ge-
orgetown finishes its pre-tournament
schedule by playing at No. 8 Mar-
quette on Saturday, while Notre Dame
closes at home against Providence on
Friday.
After the traditional pregame cere-
mony to honor Georgetowns depart-
ing players, Clark and Sims, they led
the way, helping the Hoyas snap a
three-game losing streak to the Irish.
After a decent start, both teams had
plenty of trouble at the offensive end
during the first half, a result not so
much of tremendous defense but rath-
er lackluster offense. Air balls, drop-
ped passes and sloppy dribbling all led
to wasted possessions.
Georgetown and Notre Dame com-
bined to make 8 of their first 12 shots
a 67 percent clip. And then they
went and made 3 of their next 16 shots
only 19 percent.
Kentucky, Cuse still 1-2
Kentucky and Syracuse are the top
two teams in The Associated Press
Top 25 for a fifth straight week, while
Kansas moves up to a season-high No.
3.
Kentucky received 63 first-place
votes from the 65-member national
media panel Monday with Syracuse
getting the other two.
Kansas, Duke, Michigan State and
North Carolina all moved up one place
to be third through sixth. Missouri,
which lost twice last week, dropped
four spots to seventh and was followed
by Marquette, Baylor and Ohio State.
Creighton is the weeks lone
newcomer, returning to the rankings at
No. 25 after two weeks out of the poll.
The Bluejays, winners of four straight,
replace New Mexico, which moved in
last week for the first time this season
at No. 18, then fell out after losing two
games.

Mansfields Brenae Edwards
has some goals this season and
the first one was accomplished
last weekend in the PSAC Wom-
ens Indoor Track Champion-
ships.
Edwards (Hazleton Area)
captured the 5,000 meter run
for the second straight season.
She was the first Mansfield
runner to capture a conference
title and she is the first repeat
winner in school history.
But now, shes ready to reach
for her next challenge the
NCAA Division II Champion-
ships. She finished third in the
5,000 two years ago and was
seventh last year. Both efforts
earned her All-American hon-
ors.
Brenae is one of those ladies
that has that it factor, head
coach Nadine Parker said. She
sets her goals and goes after
them. She and Mike Rohl (Ed-
wards distance coach) went
through their race plan and
strategy and she executed just
as planned.
Her time this year was
16:44.89 and she beat the run-
ner-up by more than 25 seconds.
Neither of her two NCAA efforts
matched that effort.
We are so proud of her and
only hope shell come out on top
competing at her last indoor
championship, Parker said.
Well be cheering for her.
This years NCAA meet will
be held March 9-10 in Mankato,
Minn. Last year, it was held in
Albuquerque, New Mexico and
Edwards had problems with the
thin air in the mile-high city.
She qualified with a time of
16:36.21 but posted a 17:02.25 in
the finals. Thin air wont be a
problem in Mankato.
COLLEY HELPS PRIDE
The Widener mens indoor track
team captured its third straight
Middle Atlantic Conference title
last weekend and freshman
Gavin Colley had a big hand in
the outcome of the meet.
Colley (Tunkhannock) fin-
ished second in the 60 meter
dash (6.99) and third in the 200
meter dash (23.02). He also ran
the leadoff leg on the winning
4x200 relay (1:33.07).
Sophomore Michael Calkins
(Dallas) also helped out. He ran
a leg on the winning 4x800 relay
(8:00.01).
The Pride totaled 130 points
and finished 20 points ahead of
runner-up Messiah.
POINTS FOR SNEE Sopho-
more Katie Snee (Coughlin)
helped the La Salle womens
swim team finish third in the
Atlantic-10 Conference Cham-
pionships last weekend in Buffa-
lo, N.Y.
The Explorers totaled 476

65. She finished second in the
100 freestyle (51.11) and fifth in
the 50 free (23.36). She also
helped the 200 free relay finish
second (1:33.75), the 400 me-
dley relay finish third (3:48.94)
and the 200 medley relay finish
fourth (1:43.83).
HONOR FOR RAVA Baptist
Bible sophomore Kacee Rava
(Coughlin) was recently named
the Colonial States Athletic
Conference Womens Player of
the Year.
Rava, a 6-foot-2 center, led the
Lady Defenders in scoring
(16.7), rebounding (12.2) and
blocked shots (38). She hit 155
of 291 shots from the field
(.533) and finished the season
with 12 straight double-doubles.
Baptist Bible came up short in
its bid to earn a NCAA Division
III Tournament berth when it
was beaten 68-49 to Gwynedd-
Mercy in the CSAC champion-
ship game last Sunday. Rava had
15 points and 15 rebounds in
that game and had 12 points and
17 rebounds in a 66-58 semifinal
victory over Immaculata.
Rava, the CSAC Rookie of the
Year last season, scored 36
points in a game against Cedar
Crest and had 25 points and 20
rebounds in a game against
Keystone, both victories.
The Lady Defenders finished
18-8 on the season.
NCAAS FOR REILLY Kings
senior Mike Reilly (Crestwood)
came up short in his bid to
capture the 184-pound title at
the Metropolitan Conference
Championships last weekend in
Elizabethtown but he still
earned an at-large berth to the
NCAA Division III Wrestling
Championships March 10-11 in
La Crosse, WI.
Competing in the toughest
weight class in the event with
three returning All-Americans,
Reilly advanced to the finals
where he was beaten 8-2 by
College of New Jersey All-Amer-
ican and No. 1 seed Mike Den-
ver.
Reilly, now 28-3, was seeded
third and received a first-round
bye. He posted a 12-0 major
decision over Alan Djovic of
Hunter to reach the semifinals
and then earned a 3-1 victory
over second-seed and defending
champion Alex Martocello of
York to gain the finals. Marto-
cello also earned an at-large bid.
Reilly was a three-time Met
champion at 174 pounds and
last year earned All-American
honors in that weight class
when he finished sixth in the
NCAAs. He lost in the semi-
finals and suffered a rib injury
that caused him to default his
final matches.
CHERICO LEADING THE
WAY The Hampton womens
bowling team is competing
against some of the top teams in
the country and sophomore
Amy Cherico (Hazleton Area) is
the top performer for the Lady
Pirates.
In the recent Morgan State
Invitational, the 5-foot-5 left-
hander had a team-high 971
total. She had a season high 215
game against Sacred Heart and
had a team-high 194.2 pins per
match as Hampton posted a 4-8
record for the weekend and will
take a 42-64 record into the
Mid-Eastern Athletic Confer-
ence North Meet #3 this week-
end in Dover, DE. The MEAC
Championships are set for
March 16-18 in Greensboro, NC.
MICHAELS NAMED Kings
junior Kaitlin Michaels (Ber-
wick Area) was named to the
Freedom Conference first team
in womens basketball.
Michaels, a 5-foot-7 guard,
averaged 9.9 points and 5.0
rebounds and led the Monarchs
with 136 assists and 70 steals.
Michaels had a season-high 18
points in a 55-53 victory over
Eastern in the Freedom tourney
semifinals.
The Monarchs (22-6) lost the
title game to Misericordia 64-54,
but still earned an NCAA Divi-
sion III berth and will face One-
onta in a first-round game.
BELL IN NATIONALS
Chris Bell and his No. 17-ranked
George Washington mens
squash team will compete in the
Individual Nationals starting
Friday in Amherst, MA.
Bell, a sophomore from
Wyoming (Choate Rosemary
Hall Prep), is 11-13 overall with
a 9-10 mark at No. 7 for the
Colonials who are 14-9 on the
season after defeating No. 23
Colby 5-4 to capture the Sum-
mers Cup at the College Squash
Division Team Nationals in
Princeton, N.J. Bell was 1-2 in
the three-match series.
OHARA HELPS XAVIER
The Xavier mens swim team
finished third in the Atlantic-10
Championships and junior Jake
OHara (Wyoming Valley West)
chipped in with a solid effort for
the Musketeers.
OHara finished fifth in the
100 backstroke (50.78) and
seventh in the 200 backstroke
(1:50.72). He also swam a leg on
the 400 free relay which finished
first with a time of 3:19.55.
KRAMER EARNS ECAC BID
Junior Brianna Kramer (MMI
Prep) helped the Ursinus wom-
ens track team finish third in
the Centennial Conference
Indoor Championships last
weekend.
Kramer was a member of the
Distance Medley Relay which
finished third (12:51.19) and the
4x800 relay which finished sixth
(10:04.08).
Both relay times bettered the
Eastern Collegiate Athletic
Conference standard, the ECAC
Division III meet set for Friday
and Saturday at The Armory in
New York City.
GUGLIOTTI COMES UP
SHORT York junior Chris
Gugliotti (Pittston Area) had to
settle for a fifth-place finish in
last weekends Metropolitan
Conference Wrestling Cham-
pionships.
Gugliotti, the third seed at
149 pounds, easily captured his
first two matches (18-2 and 17-2)
but was beaten by No. 2 seed
Anthony Dattolo of Wilkes 4-1 in
the semifinals. He won his first
consolation match before losing
7-5 to Jordan Moser of Eliza-
bethtown to finish fifth.
Gugliotti finished with a 30-13
record.

but when. The Cougars will be
one of just four Division III
teams in the nation to open on
Thursday instead of Friday.
Thats because the mens field
holds only 62 teams, with two
of the top squads in the country
getting a first-round bye. Miser-
icordia ended up in that corner
of the bracket, as the winner of
the game against NYU will have
to face Amherst, the No. 2
ranked team in the country, on
Saturday in the second round.
Misericordia initially planned
the schedule for the week to
play on Friday, but the odds did
not cooperate.
My first thought was that we
were in a three-team (pod),
which presents its own chal-
lenges, Woodruff said. The
turnaround time is just so (pro-
nounced). We just have to pick
up the pace and get to work.
With the womens tourna-
ment at a full 64 teams, things
were more straightforward for
the Misericordia women, who
had clinched a spot in the field.
Things were trickier for
Kings.
The Lady Monarchs did not
have anything formal set up for
the selection show, with a small
group watching the selection
video online in the coachs of-
fice at 2:30 p.m.
Fortunately for Kings, the
tension did not last long, as the
school appeared early in the
bracket reveal. More than that,
the team learned it would get to
stay in Wilkes-Barre for the first
two rounds with a win in the
opener.
Yeah, the phones and texts
all started going off, coach
Brian Donoghue said. It came
up so fast, in the second group
of teams announced. That we
made it in was not a surprise,
but that we were hosting was a
bit of a surprise.
Kings had won an impressive
21 games in the region but had
lost twice to Misericordia in the
last two weeks, including Sat-
urdays conference title game.
The Lady Monarchs also nar-
rowly escaped Eastern in the
semifinals. But the overall re-
sume was impressive enough to
land the at-large berth.
Obviously were pleased to
get the home weekend, Do-
noghue said. We were deserv-
ing. Our guys deserved it.
Theyve had a great year,
and now they have something
tangible to take from it. And
thats exciting.
Wilkes continues season
The Wilkes men fell just short
of the NCAA tournament them-
selves, losing to Misericordia in
the finals on Saturday. But the
Colonels will march on after
earning an invite to the eight-
team ECAC South Region
Championship Tournament.
Seeded fifth, Wilkes will head
on the road to face No. 4 seed
Alvernia in the quarterfinals on
Wednesday at a time to be an-
nounced.
The semifinals and finals will
be held Saturday and Sunday
and will be hosted by the high-
est remaining seed.
TOURNEY
While the Spartans connected
on 11 of their first 15 free throws
(73 percent), they made just 6 of
their first 27 shots fromthe floor
including 16 percent (3 of 19)
in the second quarter. They mis-
sed all 11 three-point shots they
attempted.
Probably North Pocono at
Christmas. Thats probably the
last time we shot that poorly,
Valley West coach Curt Lloyd
said, referring to a 37-35 loss on
Dec. 26. It was like it was helter
skelter all four quarters with
their halfcourt trap and that de-
fense was pretty suffocating.
Trailing10-6 after one quarter,
Wallenpaupack scored 15 unan-
swered points to start the sec-
ond, taking the lead for good 74
seconds in. Kaelyn Ragonese,
Nickole Mann and Ruth Casade-
vall hit three-pointers onconsec-
utive trips to spark the outburst.
They are starting to believe
in themselves, Scartelli said.
They are moving the ball quick-
ly and taking open shots. They
used to panic if we couldnt get
the ball into (Roman). They we-
rent panicked tonight.
The supporting cast made up
for an off night by junior Alexix
Roman. The center, who averag-
es 16.5 points, had just nine for
Wallenpaupack. She also had 11
rebounds.
When you look at every box,
Roman has 18 or 20, Lloyd said.
We tried to take that beast of a
player away fromthem, but their
other shooters stepped up.
Valley West cut a 21-10 Wallen-
paupackleadtofive ontwoocca-
sions before halftime andclawed
back into the game in the third
quarter on a putback by Zdan-
cewicz and a layup by Taylor
Reilly in the final minute, trail-
ing 35-31.
I was a little worried. Then I
saw the composure in their
faces, Scartelli said of her team.
They didnt have that deer-in-
the-headlights look. And the
lock was on for Valley West.
When Cheyenne Reese made
a layup for the first basket of the
fourth quarter, Valley West sud-
denly had the Buckhorns in a
one-possession game.
But the Spartans did not score
again, missing seven shots and
turning the ball over eight times
in the final 7:21.
Maybe we just ran out of gas,
using just six girls (most of the
night), Lloydsaid. I dont want
to make excuses, though. You
have to give Wallenpaupack
credit. They are a very good
team.
Mann, a sophomore, led the
Buckhorns with11points, and 5-
foot-5 freshman Bridgette Mann
had 10 and seven rebounds.
Zdancewicz had17 points and
nine rebounds, as the Spartans
won the boards battle 45-33. Oli-
via Hoffman led Valley West
with 10 rebounds and four
blocks. Smicherko had nine re-
bounds and four steals. Reese
had six rebounds and six steals.

AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER
Wyoming Valley Wests Cheyenne Reese passes the ball after a
Wallenpaupack turnover Monday night.
Jet fuel poured down the sur-
face of Turn 3 at Daytona Inter-
national Speedway, creating a fi-
ery lasting image of NASCARs
biggest race of the year.
It was par for the course for
this Daytona 500, which was
postponed for the first time in
NASCARs 54-year history be-
cause of steady rain all day Sun-
dayat thetrack. NASCARinitial-
ly planned to restart the race at
noon Monday, but persistent
rain forced series officials to
make an early decision to hold
off until 7 p.m.
Fox stayed with its plans to
broadcast the 500, making it the
first ever NASCAR race shown
in primetime and an opportuni-
ty to feature the elite Sprint Cup
Series. Carl Edwards, who fell
just short of winning the title
last season, started from the
pole with champion Tony Stew-
art, seeking to snap an 0-for-13
losingstreakinthe Daytona 500,
right behind him.
Danica Patrick, making the
full-time move to NASCARfrom
IndyCar, was making her Dayto-
na 500 debut.
Those storylines, however,
were quickly forgotten in this bi-
zarre 55th running of NASCARs
version of the Super Bowl.
It took several minutes for
safetyworkers toput out thefire,
andthencamethetaskof remov-
ing the truck from the track and
cleaning up all that spilled fuel.
Towing the truck fromthe steep
banking presented a challenge,
as NASCAR was nervous any
movement would dig into the
track surface.
The drivers were allowed to
exit their cars after about10min-
utes under the red flag. Dale
Earnhardt Jr. had been com-
plaining he hadto go to the bath-
room, and Brad Keselowski was
posting to his Twitter account
from inside his car.
Blaney did not get out of his
car, and Jamie McMurray, who
outlastednearly two hours of de-
lays tofixa pesky pothole during
his 2010 victory, stopped at Bla-
neys window to speak to the
driver leadingthe biggest race of
his career.
The racing was aggressive at
the drop of the green flag, and
the first accident occurred on
just the second lap, when Elliott
Sadler ran into the back of Jim-
mie Johnson as they drafted
around the track.
The contact sent Johnson into
the wall, and as the five-time
NASCAR champion slid back
downacross the track, he was hit
hardinthe door by DavidRagan.
The accident collected six cars
total, including defending Day-
tona 500 winner Trevor Bayne
and Patrick.
Im just really, really
bummed to start the season this
way, Johnson said. To work as
hard as everyone did at Hen-
drick Motorsports to get this
Lowes Chevrolet and to have it
barely complete two-and-a-half
miles of green flag racing is pret-
ty sad. Well just go on and go to
Phoenix and set our marks on
winning that race.
He may gotoPhoenixwithout
any points: NASCARis expected
to penalize crew chief Chad
Knaus this week for failing the
first inspection of SpeedWeeks.
Knaus could be facing both a
suspensionanda loss of a points.
It took about an hour for Pa-
tricks Stewart-Haas Racing
crewtoget her backonthetrack,
and she returned 62 laps behind
the leader.
The race settled down after
that, and the push for the
$200,000 leader bonus at the
halfway mark didnt spark too
much excitement. Two-time
NASCAR champion Terry La-
bonte had been running second
and presumably in position to
make a move for the cash, but he
was spun by Marcos Ambrose.

BUSINESS S E C T I O N B

Late selling sinks Dow
The Dow Jones industrial average
narrowly missed 13,000. Again.
A burst of selling at the closing bell
drove the Dow lower after it hovered
around the milestone for most of the
afternoon. The average finished the day
about 19 points shy of the mark.
It was close enough that 9 cents
added to the price of each of the 30
stocks in the Dow would have made
the difference. And it almost did:
American Express lost 14 cents in the
last three minutes of trading. Boeing
lost a dime in the last two minutes.
Buffett bullish on stocks
Billionaire Warren Buffett said Mon-
day that stocks remain relatively cheap
compared to other investments as the
economy continues to improve. He also
said that the company he heads is
prepared to replace him whenever the
need arises.
Buffett said even though stocks
arent as cheap as they were during the
depths of the recession in 2008, theyre
still a more attractive long-term option
than bonds, gold, cash or anything else.
Houses are another attractive in-
vestment at current prices, Buffett said.
FBI touts fraud crackdown
The FBI said Monday that its probes
of financial crime last year led to more
than 3,000 convictions and over $12
billion in court-ordered restitution as
agents attacked insider trading, Ponzi
schemes and Medicare fraud in high-
dollar scams that victimized thousands
of investors and the government.
In a press briefing that amounted to
a warning to the business community
generally and to Wall Street, the bu-
reau released video and wiretaps from
a few of its undercover operations
targeting complex financial crime.
Home contracts on rise
More Americans are signing con-
tracts to buy existing homes than at
any time in nearly two years, boosting
the housing industrys slow recovery,
according to the National Association
of Realtors index of pending home
sales.
The measure is up 2 percent to 97 in
January after slipping 1.9 percent in
December. The index of deals for previ-
ously owned homes is up 8 percent
compared with the 89.8 level from
January 2011.
Last month saw the highest point on
the index since April 2010

ITLOOKS LIKE the
concept of controlling
your computer via
gesture has received
another boost, and in a
more practical direc-
tion.
Ive written about
the potential of replacing the old-fash-
ioned mouse with a Microsoft Kinect
before, but that involves a degree of
technical know-howthat puts it outside
of the plug and play devices weve all
become used to.
Asmall company called Bellco aims
to remedy that situation with its Ion
Wireless Air Mouse using the term
mouse loosely. The Ion is a computer-
control systemthats been grafted onto
a glove. The wireless module sits on the
outside of the glove, while an attach-
ment that fits around the index finger
contains controls for the left and right
mouse buttons, within easy reach of the
thumb.
I was initially skeptical about how
well such a device would function; Ive
seen similar concepts in the past and
they seemed to suffer froma terminal
case of impracticality in one way or
another.
I realized, however, that this might be
more useful than other concepts. They
didnt try to overreach, the design of the
device is relatively simple and uses
proven technologies, and it doesnt
require you to read a manual or have
unusual equipment hooked up to your
computer.
Bellco provided videos demonstra-
ting the Ion in use, and it seemed to be
relatively straightforward. The mouse
essentially goes where you point your
hand, and relatively delicate tasks like
scrolling and clicking small links could
be performed with ease while standing
several feet away fromthe monitor.
Bellco notes on its website that the
Ion would be good for giving interactive
presentations, in situations where a
conventional mouse could be impracti-
cal. People who have issues using con-
ventional mice may also find the Ion
more comfortable and functional, and
possibly easier to use than a trackball.
The problemwith
unique products such as
this seems to be that
unless they work really
well, they tend to go
away quickly a proc-
ess that usually helps cull bad products
fromthe market, but can also result in
the demise of ideas that were only
slightly ahead of their time. The Ion is
available fromthe manufacturers web-
site for $79.95, which is quite a bit more
than an average mouse, to be sure, but
less than several other high- perform-
ance mice Ive seen. The Ion uses a
standard USB connection.

ARCELONA, Spain Strug-
gling cell phone maker Nokia
kicked off the worlds largest
mobile phone trade show Monday
by unveiling a new low-cost Win-
dows smartphone that operators
could give away free to customers,
and another aimed at snap-happy
consumers demanding better photo
quality.
Chief executive Stephen Elop
told reporters at the Mobile World
Congress in Barcelona that the new
phones a low-price ($254) smart-
phone that runs on Windows soft-
ware and a handset with a high-res-
olution 41 megapixel camera
demonstrate the actions necessary
to improve the fortunes of Nokia.
With great products for consum-
ers, I think the rest will fall into
place, Elop said.
In many countries, cell phone
companies subsidize the sale of
smartphones to customers who
sign contracts. The low price of the
new phone means their out-of-pock-
et costs would be low, even if they
give the handset away.
But shares of Nokia Corp. closed
down more than 6 percent at (euro)
4.06 ($5.44) on the Helsinki Stock
Exchange after the announce-
ments, wiping out gains made Fri-
day when investors had hoped the
Finnish company would map out
bolder plans to claw back market
share.
The Finnish company is attempt-
ing a comeback with smartphones
using Microsofts Windows soft-
ware in what Elop has called a war
of ecosystems.
Nokia became the leading hand-
set maker in 1998 and reached 40
per cent market share in 2008, but
the company has gradually lost
share since then falling to below
30 per cent last year.

DETROIT Auto sales are grow-
ing so fast Detroit can barely keep up.
Three years after the U.S. auto in-
dustry nearly collapsed, sales of cars
andtrucks are surging. Sales couldex-
ceed 14 million this year, above last
years 12.8 million.
The result: Carmakers are adding
shifts and hiring thousands of work-
ers around the country. Carmakers
and parts companies added more
than 38,000 jobs last year, reaching a
total of 717,000. Andautomakers have
announced plans to add another
13,000 this year, mostly on night
shifts.
But theres a downside. The new-
found success is straining the factory
network of the Detroit automakers, as
well as the companies that make the
thousands of parts that go into each
vehicle. This could lead to shortages
that drive up prices.
And it has auto executives in a
quandary. They got into trouble in the
first place largely because their costs
were too high. Now, they fear adding
too many workers.
Ford, for instance, is squeezing ev-
ery last component, transmission, en-
gine out of the existing brick andmor-
tar, says JimTetreault, vice president
of North America manufacturing.
The hiring is good news for com-
munities around the country that saw
hundreds of thousands of manufac-
turing jobs disappear. as

The geese are
heading north
this week and
the crocus are
blooming ...
already! My cal-
endar says it's
still February.
But I guess it's
no surprise con-
sidering we've
had a few days
recently above
50 degrees with
a feeling by
many that spring
may, indeed,
come early this
year. The fore-
cast for the rst
eight days of
March is for us
to have above
normal tempera-
tures, and my
gut is telling me
that next month
will make seven
straight months
in a row with
above normal
temperatures
around here.
But March
always makes
me nervous with
its reputation for
nasty storms.
Stay tuned. The
road ahead
could get bumpy.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: A potent storm system will trigger scattered showers and thunderstorms
from the southern Plains into the Lower Mississippi Valley today. Some of these storms may be
strong to severe. This storm system will also bring rain and snow to portions of the northern Plains
and the Upper Midwest, with heavy rain possible at times.

HEALTH S E C T I O N C

Forget the common myth: night-
time eating isnt a diet downfall
in itself. In general, eating
after 7 or 8 p.m. isnt really a
problem unless youve already
eaten too much during the
day, says Karen Ansel, a regis-
tered dietitian and spokesper-
son for the Academy of Nutri-
tion and Dietetics. Some ad-
vice:
If youre trying to lose weight,
focus on how much you eat all
day, not when you eat. Dont
worry if youve eaten healthfully
before and need to have dinner
after 7. If youve eaten a lot
already, however, have a smaller
dinner or snack so you dont
blow your calorie budget for the
day. Pigging out on fatty, salty or
sugary foods isnt good any time
of day.
If you have frequent heartburn,
keep your evening meal small
and low in fat. Fat relaxes the
valve that blocks painful stom-
ach acid from getting into your
esophagus. Having big, heavy
meals shortly before you lie
down to sleep when gravity
also works against you is a
common recipe for discomfort.
If you have trouble falling asleep,
have a small, carbohydrate-rich
snack such as a bowl of oatmeal
or whole-grain cereal, fruit or
air-popped popcorn. Carbo-
hydrates help the body make
tryptophan, an amino acid that
promotes deep sleep. Another
option is tart dried cherries,
which contain a hormone called
melatonin that regulates sleep-
wake cycles. Note: Avoid alcohol,
which can disrupt sleep.
If you need to stay awake or
alert, steer away from carbo-
hydrates and focus on healthy
proteins such as lean meat,
chicken or fish instead.
If you just worked out, make sure
your meal has a combination of
protein and healthy carbohy-
drates for muscle growth and
recovery. Two examples: spa-
ghetti and mini meatballs or
grilled chicken over mashed
sweet potatoes.

id you know that prescrip-
tion drug abuse is the na-
tions fasting growing drug
problem not heroin, marijuana
or cocaine? Unintentional overdose
deaths involving prescription
opioids have quadrupled since1999,
and nowoutnumber those fromher-
oin and cocaine combined.
Prescription narcotics have be-
come more rampant in todays med-
ical care; perhaps themedical profes-
sion is more cognizant of treating
dramatically in the past few years,
and the amount prescribed per pa-
tient increased 401 percent from
1997to2007. Arewe, asanation, 400
percent more in pain now than we
were10 years ago?
The problem with this escalating
pattern of prescribing and usage is
that as prescription narcotics are be-
comingmoremainstream, sois their
abuse potential. The increasing
availability of prescription pain
meds and the misperceptions about
safety and addictive potential of
painadequately, but this comes with
a price. It is estimated in some stud-
ies that upto40percent of people on

tive, brightening, smoothing ef-
fects of his in-office microder-
mabrasion treatment. The exfo-
liator will leave your skin feeling
baby-soft and looking refreshed.
Expert: Dr. Ahmet Altiner
Tip: The eyes deserve special
treatment.
Board-certified medical and
cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Ah-
met Altiner (www.uwsdermatol-
ogy.com/) practices inNewYork
City. He specializes in laser sur-
gery and injectables, such as Bo-
tox, Juvederm and Dysport and
has a specific interest in hair and
nail disorders.
The upper and lower eyelids
and the skin immediately sur-
rounding the eyes are the thin-
nest skin on our bodies, Altiner
says. As a result, these areas are
most prone to showing signs
of?aging. He suggests using
topical antioxidants and a pow-
erful sunblock as a preventive
measure against wrinkles and
dark circles. Altiners product
Neuderm Radiant Eyes ($39.99)
combines light-diffusing miner-
als to reduce further sun damage
and also includes antioxidants
like grape seed oil.
Expert: Dr. Richard G. Fried
Tip: Cleanse skin effectively.
Pennsylvania-based dermatol-
ogist and clinical psychologist
Dr. Richard G. Fried is an inter-
nationally known author, practi-
tioner, researcher and teacher.
His latest book, Healing Adult
Acne (www.barnesandno-
ble.com/) ($15.92), can be pur-
chased at Barnes & Noble. Un-
washed or over-washed skin can
interfere with the effectiveness
of moisturizers or medicinal skin
care products, Fried says. Yet
oil and debris left on the skin can
interfere with absorption of ther-
apeutic products.
Fried recommends cleansing
with an effective but gentle prod-
uct like CeraVes Foaming Facial
Cleanser (www.walmart.com/)
($11.97) from Walmart. The
cleanser provides good general
cleansing and removes makeup
and oil while simultaneously be-
ing gentle enough to maintain a
very essential skinbarrier, Fried
says.
Expert: Dr. Laura Skellchock
Tip: Intensively treat dry
hands.
Dr. Laura Skellchock (www.
drskellchock.com) is a practic-
ing cosmetic dermatologist lo-
cated in Boca Raton, Fla. She
specializes in anti-aging, skin
cancer prevention and achieving
a youthful and rested look for
her clients.
Skellchock recommends treat-
ing dry hands intensively to pre-
vent premature aging and dis-
comfort. She suggests applying a
rich creamlike Collfixs Collagen
Night Cream (www.coll-
fix.com/) ($96.33) before bed
and donning cotton gloves to
leave on overnight. The heat
from the gloves will help the
cream to penetrate the skin, re-
sulting in smooth and nourished
hands in the morning, Skell-
chock says.

BRIEFS
these can lead to abuse. Also,
many times, the pain meds can
be taken for the wrong reasons,
such as to get high, to counter
anxiety or depression, to im-
prove cognition or for sleep
problems.
In2009,16millionAmericans
age12andolder hadtakenapre-
scription pain reliever, tranquil-
izer, stimulant, or sedative for
nonmedical purposes at least
once in the year. Furthermore,
many high school children re-
port getting their pain medica-
tions froma friend or a relative,
not theInternet. Themoreubiq-
uitous the supply of pain medi-
cations, the more the potential
for their abuse.
Are there holistic solutions to
pain? Certainly there are many
complementary options to as-
sist with the control of chronic
pain. These can range fromacu-
puncture, chiropractic manipu-
lation to guided imagery and
meditation. Other holistic mod-
alities include the following:
Curcumin (the active ingre-
dient inturmeric)haslongbeen
shown to decrease inflamma-
tion in chronic conditions such
as arthritis, and now is being
shown to be helpful in rheuma-
toid arthritis and psoriasis.
SAM-e reduces inflamma-
tion, and can help increase the
dopamine and serotonin levels,
the so-called happy chemical
in the brain. This is available in
capsule form in many health
food stores.
Auqamin is a red seaweed
supplement that is rich in calci-
umandmagnesiumandmaybe
beneficial in reducing joint in-
flammation
The homeopathic medicine
arnica has been shown to assist
in acute pain such as bruises or
strained muscles.
Fish oils contain prostaglan-
dins that can reduce inflamma-
tion.
And finally, dont forget the
anti-inflammatory effect of heat
and ice, use these as a part of
your daily regimen for your
painful musculoskeletal condi-
tions.
The treatment of painis com-
plicated, and has many pitfalls.
Toincreaseefficacyof paintreat-
ment and avoid abuse, partner-
ing in a close relationship with
your doctor and furthermore,
having a pain specialist coordi-
nate your care is a good idea, in
the case of refractory chronic
pain.

The Northeast Regional Cancer Institute will host the ninth annual

HOW TO CONTACT:
Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Ange-
les, CA 90069

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: My
boyfriend has pro-
posed. I love him
very much, but Im
worried about my
kids. I look at his
children his son is
23 and barely made
it out of high school. He got a girl
pregnant at 17, has been in jail a few
times and is an alcoholic. His 15-year-
old daughter is immature for her age
and constantly getting into trouble at
school. Their mother is an alcoholic
and a drug user. Are my concerns for
my children valid?
Worried in West Virginia
Dear Worried: Yes, they are, because
your children will be exposed to all
of the negative influences that his
children will bring with them into
your blended family. Your first con-
cern must be for your childrens well-
being.
Dear Abby: I read your answer to
Thrilled in San Jose (Dec. 28), the
couple who want to celebrate paying
off their mortgage, on the same day
I read an article about how middle-
class Americans have sabotaged
themselves by abandoning thrifty
habits like saving and ... paying off
their mortgages!
I disagree with your answer that
the couple should celebrate privately.
A generation of Americans now has
no idea that paying off a mortgage is
even possible. So I say to that couple:
Celebrate tastefully and publicly in
the same thrifty way that enabled you
to pay off that mortgage.
Id Like An Invitation
Dear Id Like: I was surprised at the
number of readers who were fired up
over my answer to Thrilled about
burning the mortgage. Most said that
this is a milestone that should be cel-
ebrated. My readers comment:
Dear Abby: I think its great to throw
a mortgage-burning party to celebrate
paying off a home mortgage. Today
we go overboard not to offend. True
friends would be happy when some-
thing good happens and not jealous.
How self-centered is that attitude?
People need to start feeling happy for
the success of others.
Lori in Gig Harbor, Wash.
Dear Abby: I believe Thrilled
and her husband should have their
mortgage-burning party. Achieve-
ments like this should be celebrated.
Too often in our country people have
piled on debt they couldnt afford and
made decisions purely to keep up
with the Joneses. They can be an
inspiration for the loved ones in their
lives to follow.
Debbie in the Southwest
Dear Abby: Please advise Thrilled
not to ACTUALLY burn the mort-
gage. In California the lender has to
provide a release document in the
form of a Deed of Reconveyance or
Satisfaction of Mortgage that must be
recorded with the county recorders
office in order to remove the lien of
the loan from the chain of title for the
house. If the lender doesnt record
it, then the borrower must do so. If
Thrilled decided to sell the house
and the release has not been record-
ed, or if she doesnt have the original,
it could delay the sale by months.
Linda in San Francisco

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). You tend
to take responsibility, bring in
the money, put food on the table
and keep relationships in good
standing. What would you do if
you found out that it is also your
job to have fun?
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Youll
be reminded of an interesting
truth: Events dont have to be
planned to be a success. The
spontaneous twists, goofs and
challenges make things better.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The pur-
suit of self-knowledge is often
happening on a subconscious
level for you. The better you can
understand yourself the better
you can create emotional close-
ness with others.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You
are only ambitious to a degree.
You know when you are content,
and you stop there. Thats a gift.
So many people suffer because
they cant recognize when
enough is enough.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You feel
focused and want to stay on
task. But something will hap-
pen to interrupt and tempt you.
Opportunities for pleasure must
be seized. Otherwise, they come
less often.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You want
things to go your way, but you
also realize the possibility that
theres something even better
that might occur if you remain
open-minded.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Dont
write this off as some kind of
mistake. Be resilient. Discover
the value in lifes odd offerings.
And if there is no apparent
value, consider that there might
be a message or lesson instead.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Posers abound. People who
can talk a good game dont
fool you, though. You actually
walk the walk, and you know
the difference. Others wont be
so savvy, and you may have to
intervene on their behalf.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Many valuable discoveries have
been made by chance rather
than contemplation. However,
chance favors the actively con-
templative, as well as those tak-
ing risks.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Youre in awe of people who
have a talent that you do not
possess. Others are in awe of
you for the exact same reason,
though you are so used to your
own talents that you may not
even see them as remarkable.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Youll
lead the action. Even though you
have a strong sense of discovery,
it will take you a few minutes to
warm up to new situations.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). No one
gets through life by being good
at one thing. Youll be brave
enough to try new things and
wise enough to realize early on
whats for you and what isnt.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Feb. 28). You
go into the year with a strong,
determined attitude. In April, a
softness takes its place as loved
ones strike a chord in your com-
passionate heart. Your warmth
inspires commitments. Youll
make connections, join groups
and lead people in June. A wind-
fall happens in April, July and
December. Aquarius and Taurus
people adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 20, 1, 22, 38 and 13.
