>> TITLE BOUND?: Two local high school teams, the
Meyers boys and Nanticoke girls, will take on another challenge
along the path to a state basketball championship this Wednes-
day. The Trojanettes, named after ancient warriors fromthe
ancient city of Troy, will play Villa Maria Academy. And the
American Indian-inspired Mohawks will play Imhotep Charter
which sounds like it was named after an Egyptian mummy. The
sites and times for both games have not been determined yet.
When they are, we will let you know.
>> ACHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK: When Horatio
Thelonious Chip accidentally dropped a plate of sliced potatoes
into a vat of oil in1745, a snack food legend was born. OK, that
story is totally bogus. Tradition tells us that the potato chip was
really invented in1853 in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. Imagine that.
Well, to celebrate our favorite thin and crispy treat, someone
has set aside a day to honor the potato chip. That would be this
Wednesday. One would think enjoying some chips
while contemplating how tasty they are would be
a good way to note the occasion.
>> TOURNEYTIME: A quick glance at
this years NCAA basketball tournament
reveals that the field is for the birds. Why?
Because there are nine teams named after
our feathered friends. Cats also check in
with nine, dogs/wolves have eight and
horned farmanimals six. Bears are
popular with five teams. Belligerent
Irish folks impressed three teams, as
did Civil War figures. Greek myths
inspired three others, while one
teamis named after French fight-
ers and another after ancient
Mexicans. The rest draw inspiration fromAmerican Indians,
horse racing, chestnuts, rabbits, mountain men, badgers, wolve-
rines, colors and a mischievous elf-like creature conceived in a
dream. (Thats a Billiken, btw.) The first play-in games start on
Tuesday, but the action gets jumping on Thursday at noon.
>> SWEET GEORGIABROWN: Fromcollege basket-
balls big show to the best show on any court. The world-fa-
mous HarlemGlobetrotters will be in our area this
Friday to dazzle, delight, amaze and other cool
words. Come 7 p.m. at the Mohegan Sun Arena,
youll be asking Howd they do that? One word
of advice, though. When one of the Globetrotters
gets ready to throw a pail of water into the crowd,
dont panic. ITS CONFETTI! Sorry to spoil it.
>> AYE BEGORRAH: With all the parade festivities
this past weekend, it might have slipped your mind that
the actual St. Patricks Day is this Saturday. When the
real St. Patrick gave the snakes of Ireland their
marching papers in the fifth century, little did he
know that hundreds of years later, people would
remember himby drinking green beer and eating
cabbage. Hed be so proud.

BALANDI, Afghanistan
Moving from house to house, a
U.S. Army sergeant opened fire
Sunday on Afghan villagers as
they slept, killing 16 people
mostly women and children in
an attack that reignited fury at
the U.S. presence following a
wave of deadly protests over
Americans
burning Qu-
rans.
The attack
threatened the
deepest breach
yet in U.S.-Af-
ghan relations,
raising ques-
tions in Wash-
ington and Ka-
bul about why
American
troops are still
fighting in Af-
ghanistan after
10 years of con-
flict and the
killing of Osa-
ma bin Laden.
The killing
spree, if true the worst atrocity
committed by U.S. forces during
the Afghan war, comes amid dee-
pening public outrage spurred by
last months Quran burnings and
an earlier video purportedly
showing U.S. Marines urinating
on dead Taliban militants.
The Quran burnings sparked
weeks of violent protests and at-
tacks that left about 30 Afghans
dead, despite an apology from
President Barack Obama. Six
U.S. service members were also
killed by their fellow Afghan sol-
diers, although the tensions had
just started to calm down.
Residents said Sundays attack

PUBLIC RECORD
PLAINS TWP. Township
police reported the following:
James Dyer of Cliff Street,
Pittston, said he was assaulted,
robbed and his wifes car was
stolen from the Relax Inn on
state Route 315 where he was
smoking crack early Sunday
morning, police said.
Police said they responded to
a report of an assault at the
motel at 3:23 a.m. and met Dyer,
who said he had been driving
around Wilkes-Barre with an
unknown man and woman
smoking crack and ended up at
that motel. In room 228 they
continued to smoke crack and
the man assaulted Dyer, stole his
wallet containing $150 and
drove off in a gray, 2006 Honda
Accord with Pennsylvania li-
cense plate DLW-2656 around

taken to Wilkes-Barre General
Hospital.
David Bartuska of Coxton

Rood Inn on state Route 315.
Police said they responded to
the motel at 4:47 a.m. and spoke
to Amanda Braley of Wilkes-
Barre, who said her ex-boyfriend
Bartuska choked her and threw
her around the room. Braley was

uation. Bartuska was arrested
and arraigned by District Judge

who released him on his own
recognizance.
POLICE BLOTTER
PITTSBURGH Youve
probably heard of wine tastings.
Now, whiskey tastings are legal
in Pennsylvania too.
A new state law allows small
distilleries to give samples to
visitors and sell bottles of their
spirits directly to the public.
Thats big news for Wigle
Whiskey in Pittsburgh, which
opened to the public on Friday.
The distillery is namedafter Phi-
lip Wigle, who burned down the
home of a federal tax collector in
the 1790s and helped lead the
Whiskey Rebellion, a major test
of George Washingtons presi-
dency.
The rebels objected to one of
the first federal taxes on dis-
tilled spirits. Revenue from the
taxes was meant to provide the
poor and weak national govern-
ment with funds to pay off debts
from the Revolutionary War.
This guy, Philip Wigle, was
almost hung here 200 years ago
because he wanted to make a lit-
tle whiskey, said Eric Meyer,
one of an extended clan thats
trying to bring back what was
once a flourishing Pennsylvania
tradition. Wigle is one of just five
active distilleries in the state, ac-
cording to federal data and
Meyer.
We were Kentucky before
Kentucky, said Meyer, 31, who
notes that the famed Jim Beam
family was originally fromPenn-
sylvania. After Washington
raised an army to put down the
Whiskey Rebellion, part of the
peacemaking process was Ken-
tuckys offer of 60 acres of free
land for any family willing to
move west, and grow corn.
Meyer said many small distillers
took the offer, and started brew-
ing with the new crop.
Washington eventually gave
an official pardon to Wigle, who
had been charged with treason.
Mary Ellen Meyer said the
idea for a distillery came after
the family visited a winery in
Canada.
She recalled their adult chil-
dren saying, We could do some-
thing like this, but they didnt
want to do wine. On the long
drive home the family re-
searched possibilities on their
mobile devices, and learned that
white whiskey can be bottled
and sold immediately after dis-
tilling. Brown, or aged whiskey,
sometimes sits in barrels for
years before bottling.
When they got home the chil-
dren said, White whiskey.
Thats what weve got to make,
she recalls.
The family spent months
looking for a suitable space and
finally found one in Pittsburghs
Strip District, known for its food
markets.
We wanted something very
light and open and friendly for
the public, she said, of the archi-
tect-designed space that fea-
tures modern fixtures and ex-
posed steel beams, and a room
with tables and chairs.
Eric Meyer said it takes about
1,000 pounds of grain to produce
250 bottles of whiskey. The un-
aged white whiskey is the way
Wigle would have drunk his
whiskey, back in the 1790s. You
taste the rye, which has a spicier
taste.
The organic grain is milled in-
to a fine powder, mixed with wa-
ter, andstirredtoget anoatmeal-
like substance.
Whiskey is just distilled beer.
A lot of people dont realize
that, Meyer said.
The company also is making a
wheat whiskey, which is
smoother and creamier, and a
whiskey that will be aged in oak
barrels. Meyer said the familiar
brown whiskey color actually
comes from the wood, not the
brewing process. Really what
youre tasting is the wood, he
said.
So far the family is encour-
aged by the buzz around their
distillery, which is the first to op-
erate in Pittsburgh since Prohib-
ition.

DURYEA Police said Mark
Graziosi handcuffed his ex-girl-
friend, beat her with a shovel and
threatened to kill her at his Rasp-
berry Road house Saturday, when
she went there to retrieve her be-
longings.
Graziosi, 47, later freed the 44-
year-old woman from Pittston,
who was treated at an area hospi-
tal and released, police said.
Graziosi was arrested and ar-
raigned on a number of charges,
including kidnapping, aggravated
and simple assault and unlawful
restraint, and committed to the
Luzerne County Correctional Fa-
cility because he was unable to
post $150,000 bail.
Police withheld the womans
name.
In arrest papers filed against
Graziosi, Duryea police Chief
Nick Lohman and officer Brian
Russo said:
Theywent toaresidenceinPitt-
ston where they met the woman.
She showed themher injuries and
began to describe her ordeal. Po-
liceaskedher togototheir station
in Duryea to provide a sworn
statement, and she complied.
The woman said she went to
Graziosis house andfoundher be-
longings in the garage bay area.
She described Graziosi as acting
strange and he told her they need-
ed to sit down and talk as she put
things in her vehicle.
Alarmed by Graziosis behavior,
she tried to
leave, but he
grabbed her by
the shirt, pulled
her into the
house and
threwheronthe
couch. He
grabbed her
again and dragged her into the
bedroom, where he handcuffed
one of her arms to one of her an-
kles. He struck her in the upper
armwitha shovel froma fireplace,
then hit her in the foot and threat-
ened to kill her.
While she was restrained, Gra-
ziosi drove her vehicle into his ga-
rage and ran over her belongings.
He also took her cellphone.
Hetriedtotieupthewomanus-
ing a wire under his bed. But the
wire kept coming loose so he took
the wire from a lamp and tried to
hog tie her. The woman said he
stuffed a scarf in her mouth and
later tried to choke her with it.
At one point he triedtosexually
assault her, the woman said, but
she pleaded with him to release
her and allow her to go home to
get her cats and return to his
house.
After he untied her, her mother
called. As she spoke on her cell-
phone to her mother, Graziosi
stood behind her with the fire-
place shovel andthreatenedtokill
her if she said anything about
what was happening in his house.
He allowed her to leave and said if
she did not return he would kill
her, her mother and her cats.
After she finished talking to po-
lice, they went to Graziosis house
and arrested him. Police obtained
a searchwarrant to seize evidence
fromhis house.

LOS ANGELES Dr. Seuss
the Lorax has easily beaten Ed-
gar Rice Burroughs John Car-
ter at the weekend box office.
Studio estimates Sunday put
The Lorax at No. 1 for the sec-
ond-straight weekend as the ani-
mated adventure based on the
childrens book took in $39.1 mil-
lion. That raised its 10-day do-
mestic total to $122 million, mak-
ing The Lorax the years top-
grossing release.
John Carter, based on Tar-
zan creator Burroughs tales of
the interplanetary adventurer,
opened in second-place with
$30.6 million. Thats an awful
start given the whopping $250
million that Disney reportedly
spent to make John Carter,
which earned generally poor re-
views that will hurt its long-term
prospects.

Arrested after robbery
A man wanted in New Jersey on
drug charges was arrested early
Sunday morning after a robbery at
Old Tymers Pub on East Main
Street, police said.
Jerome McCants, 33, of Newark,
was taken into custody and subdued
with a Taser while he damaged the
interior of a police vehicle, police
said.
In papers filed for his arrest, po-
lice said: McCants had been playing
pool for money with Jeremiah Dei-
ter. McCants was upset because he
lost and grabbed Deiter by the shirt
as he was leaving the bar.
McCants demanded all of Deiters
money and said he would follow
him if he tried to leave.
When Deiter showed McCants
$40, he grabbed it from him.
McCants then threatened to shoot
Deiter, his father, John, and brother
John Jr. He also threatened to stab
John Deiter Jr.
Police arrived, and while patting
down all of the men found a large
knife on McCants in his right front
pocket. He also had two $20 bills.
McCants, who was highly in-
toxicated, was placed in a Larksville
police vehicle and kicked the rear
passenger side door and window
frame, causing extensive damage.
He was told to stop and complied
when police used a Taser on him.
He was charged with robbery,
resisting arrest, institutional van-
dalism, disorderly conduct and
public drunkenness.
A records check revealed
McCants, also known as Ricky
McKnight, was wanted by the Ne-
wark, N.J., Sheriffs Department on
a warrant issued April 9. 2010, for a
felony drug charge.
New Jersey authorities said they
would extradite McCants, who is
being held in the county prison.

PLAINS TWP. -- The event: The
2012 Times Leader/Scripps NEPA
Regional Spelling Bee.
The participants: 21 students from
schools throughout the region. Each
had previously won his or her own
schools spelling bee and was on stage
at The Woodlands Inn & Resort on
Sunday, competing for a chance to be
crowed the regional champion.
The stakes: The top speller would
go on to compete in the Scripps Na-
tional Spelling Bee in Washington,
D.C. -- a grand event that receives
national attention.
The winner: Devin Reed, a sixth-
grade student from Drums Elemen-
tary Middle School.
Reed spelled the word
leechcraft correctly,
leaving him as the last
student standing. The
word, a noun, means
the art of healing or
skill of a physician.
Reed said he prepared
diligently for the bee,
usually studying for an
hour each night while going over
words and study guides with his par-
ents.
It got easier as we kept doing it
over and over again, he said, adding
that he first became interested in
spelling in the third grade. I was
better at it than other subjects. Thats
really when I started to like it.
Reed admitted hes now a bit nerv-
ous about his trip to Washington for
the national bee, part of which is
broadcast live on ESPN. He added that
though his winning word was not on
his study list, he felt confident he had
the correct spelling.
Pranjal Satija, a seventh-grade stu-
dent from Valley Elementary Middle
School, was first-runner-up. Satija had
made it through about a dozen rounds
before he misspelled the word Ital-
ianate.
Satija said he had been preparing for
months for the bee and increased his
studying in recent weeks. Still, he said

DALLAS TWP. The Dallas School
Board is pursuing a new schedule for
high school students, though teachers
are against the idea.
The proposed change will switch the
schedule from four 81-minute periods
and a flex period to five 73-minute peri-
ods and the elimination of homeroom
and flex periods.
Courses at Dallas are offered on dif-
ferent time tables some are offered all
year long, while others are taught for
nine weeks.
The half-hour flex period occurs at
the end of the day and allows students
to make up work or participate in extra-
curricular activities.
Bill Wagner, biology teacher and
president of the Dallas Education Asso-
ciation, presented information to the
boards education committee at the end
of February stating a majority of teach-
ers are against the change.
The School Board voted last week to
change its course offerings for the 2012-
13 school year that include more classes
such as food preparation and a fitness
elective to accommodate the new high
school that was completed last Septem-
ber.
BoardPresident Catherine Wega said
the unanimous vote on the newcourses
may have been an implied vote to
change the schedule, as the extra cours-
es would be possible only with the
scheduling changes.
Wega said a volunteer design com-
mittee provided suggestions for the
high schools offerings two years before
it was evenbuilt, andthere was a planto
change the schedule once the new high
school opened because of the expanded

Borough addresses
delinquent sewer bills
Solicitor Sean Logsdon told
borough officials Wednesday
night that delinquent sewer bills
could be addressed either by a
lien placed on property or filing
a complaint at the district
judges office.
Logsdon, addressing council
at its monthly meeting, said
some of those residents in ar-
rears were judgment proof,
and in those cases liens would
be appropriate so the borough
could recoup sewer fees when
property is sold.
We will take it on a case-by-
case basis, said Logsdon.
The council also voted to
have grant writer Karen Szwast
draft a grant application to ob-
tain state funds to improve
borough parks.
Councilman Mario Fiorucci
expressed concerns regarding
expenditures for park improve-
ment. He said although the
grant would direct $40,000 of
state money to the borough for
park improvement, the borough
would be responsible for spend-
ing $20,000 on the project to
receive those funds.
Council President Yvonne
Pelchar said the first step in
obtaining funds through the
state Department of Conserva-
tion and Natural Resources
would be development of the
grant, and council could then
decide whether to move forward
on the project.
Other council members point-
ed out that part of the $20,000
expected from the borough for
the project would simply entail
diverting borough employees to
assist on the project, and that it
would not be an unreasonable
financial burden on the bor-
ough.
Fiorucci also had a question
on the per capita tax levied by
the borough. He said 200 to 300
Sugar Notch residents were not
on the boroughs master list and
that was costing the borough
about $10 per person.
Council indicated a recent
notice for landlord/tenant regis-
tration mailed to area rentals
would provide a more accurate
list of borough residents, which
would result in a more complete
listing of area residents owing
the per capita tax.

Meth lab bust site
cause for concern
Several residents voiced con-
cern over safety and security
issues involving a property at
145 Washington St., which was
the site of a recent meth lab
bust by borough police and the
state Attorney Generals Lu-
zerne County Drug Task Force.
Council directed borough
police to investigate the matter,
which involved suspicious activ-
ity at the condemned property.
Concerning personnel mat-
ters, council voted unanimously
to hire Renee Wilson as a cross-
ing guard for the corner of Zer-
by Avenue and Main Street at
$8.75 an hour. The appointment
is effective immediately.
In other business, Council-
man Gary Mack said the bor-
ough would be advertising for a
part-time police officer and
street department worker to
replace departing employees.
Street department officials
said they plan to file the neces-
sary application to seek up to
$250,000 in federal grant money
to purchase a new recycling
collection vehicle for the bor-
ough.

Y
emeni military officials say U.S.
aircraft have carried out four air-
strikes in a southern province where
al-Qaida controls several key towns.
Two military officials say the air-
strikes targeted Khanfar Mountain,
near the town of Jaar in Abyan prov-
ince, where al-Qaida is in control.
There was no comment from U.S.
officials. In the past, U.S. warplanes
have targeted leaders and facilities of
al-Qaida in Yemen, considered one of
its most dangerous branches.
The Yemeni officials spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity in line with military
regulations.
Al-Qaida has taken advantage of a
year of internal turmoil to take over
parts of southern Yemen.
There was no word on casualties.
Residents said Sunday they could see

Rollover crash kills child
The Highway Patrol says a 6-year-old

Sweetwater County.
He said in a press release that a car
driven by 24-year-old Daniel Rebarchek

an SUV carrying the child and eight of
her relatives, and the vehicle went off
the road and rolled over.

A suicide car bomber attacked a
Catholic church Sunday in the middle

blast and the retaliatory violence that
followed after the latest assault target-
ing a church in a central Nigerian city
plagued by unrest, officials said.
The bomb detonated as worshippers
attended the final Mass of the day at
St. Finbars Catholic Church in Jos, a
city where thousands have died in the
last decade in religious and ethnic
violence. Security at the gate of the
churchs compound stopped the suspi-
cious car and the bomber detonated his
explosives during an altercation that
followed, Plateau state spokesman Pam
Ayuba said.

Swiss nix vacation time
Who turns down a long vacation?
Known for their work ethic, Swiss
citizens appear to be leading the way
on European austerity, rejecting a mini-
mum six weeks paid holiday a year.
Swiss polls closed Sunday on several
national referendums, including one
pushed by a union to raise the mini-
mum holiday from four weeks to the
standard used in Germany, Italy, Russia
and other European nations.
The Swiss heeded warnings from
government and business that more
vacation would raise labor costs and
put the economy at risk. Swiss public
broadcaster SSR said two-thirds of
voters and each of the nations 26 can-
tons (states) had rejected the measure,
which required majority approval of all
federal and cantonal voters.

Almost 10 miles of madness in mud
Competitors run through muddy wa-

Thun, Switzerland, Sunday. Thousands

an almost 10-mile race intermixed with
a series of obstacles including mud,
water, tires, pipes to squeeze through
and walls to climb.
WASHINGTON Despite
President Barack Obamas as-
surances that the United
States will know if Iran begins
to secretly build a nuclear
bomb, some senior officials fa-
miliar with U.S. intelligence
and spying capabilities in Iran
are doubtful.
The issue is a crucial one be-
cause the White House has
suggested that U.S. satellites,
sensors and spies, as well as
United Nations inspections,
provide a reliable tripwire to
decide whether diplomacy has
failed and military action is
needed to stop Iran from as-
sembling a nuclear device.
The officials doubts stem, in
part, from Irans record of de-
ceit.
Over the last decade, West-
ern intelligence agencies have
twice discovered large-scale
clandestine Iranian facilities
built to enrich uranium. The
questionnowis whether Iranis
hiding other nuclear enrich-
ment sites or weapons re-
search centers.
You have to assume that, if
they went clandestine once,
they could well go clandestine
in other places, said Sen.
Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.,
who chairs the Senate Intelli-
gence Committee.
As someone who deals with
this stuff every day, Im not
sure how (the president) is
that confident, said Rep. Mike
Rogers of Michigan, the topRe-
publican on the House Intelli-
gence Committee. I am confi-
dent that at some point ... we
would know, probably. The
problemis, you wouldnt know
if that meant theyd have a
weapon in three days or in
three months.
Iran must produce weapons-
grade uranium if it wants to
build a bomb. For now, Inter-
national Atomic Energy Agen-
cy inspectors make regular
monitoring visits to the two
uranium enrichment complex-
es, at Natanz and Fordow, and
they measure and track every
bit of nuclear material.
The U.N. inspectors would
quickly detect diversion of ura-
nium or any sudden push to
boost enrichment from 20 per-
cent to 90 percent to supply
fuel for a weapon. If the teams
are denied access or expelled
from Iran, however, that safety
mechanism disappears and
Washington and its allies will
be left to assume the worst.
Irans relations with the
IAEA are testy. Iran has re-
fused to fully answer questions
about what the U.N. agency
calls possible military dimen-
sions to its program. It re-
treated on another issue last
week, however, saying it would
permit inspectors to visit a mil-
itary base that it had previous-
ly put off-limits.

STATE COLLEGE Every
day, mechanics around the com-

look under hoods as part of an-

State Sen. John Wozniak, D-

I think the test needs to be

Virtually all cars pass the test,
and its time to re-evaluate
whether its just a waste of money
for consumers.
The Pennsylvania Department
of Transportation says about 4
percent of vehicles inthestatean-
nually failed the test in the past
five years. In2010, 4.22percent of
vehicles failed, and if one ex-
cludes the cases in which gas
caps that failed were replaced, re-
sulting inthe car passing, the fail-
ure rate was only 2.43 percent.
State environmental officials,
however, say that despite that the
inspections still play an impor-
tant role in keeping the air clean.
Motor vehicles are responsib-
le for as much as half of the emis-
sions causing ozone pollution in
the commonwealth, said Chris

BEIRUT An international push to
end Syrias conflict stalled Sunday as
U.N. envoy Kofi Annan left Damascus
without acease-fireandPresident Bashar
Assads forces pounded opposition areas
and clashed with rebels throughout the
country.
Western and Arab powers are strug-
gling for ways to stem the bloodshed in
the year-old conflict while both the re-
gime and the opposition reject dialogue.
Former U.N. Secretary General Kofi An-
nan appeared to make little progress dur-
ing two visits with Assad during his first
triptoSyria as thejoint U.N.-ArabLeague
envoy.
Annan was seeking an immediate
cease-fire to allow for humanitarian aid
and the start of a dia-
logue between all par-
ties on a political solu-
tion. After meeting
with Assad on Sunday,
Annan said he had pre-
sented steps to ease the
crisis, but gave no de-
tails.
Once its agreed, it will help launch
the process and help end the crisis on the
ground, he told reporters. He called for
reforms that will create a strong founda-
tion for a democratic Syria a peaceful,
stable, pluralistic andprosperous society,
based on the rule of law and respect for
human rights.
But he said a cease-fire must come
first.
You have to start by stopping the kill-
ing and the misery and the abuse that is
going on today and then give time for a
political settlement.
Assad told Annan on Sunday that a po-
litical solution is impossible as long as
terrorist groups threaten the country,
according to Syrias state news service
which reported identical comments after
the men met Saturday. The regime
blames the uprisingonarmedgroups act-
ing out a foreign conspiracy.
Annans calls for reform also fall far
short of opposition calls for Assads oust-
er and the end of his authoritarian re-
gime. Opposition leaders say the thou-
sands killed at the hands of his security
forces, many while protesting peacefully,
mean theyll accept nothing less.
Annan acknowledged his hard task.
Its goingtobedifficult, but wehaveto
have hope, he said before leaving for Qa-
tar.
The conflict has become increasingly
bloodyduringtheyear sinceprotesters in
some impoverished provinces first took
to the streets to call for political reform.
The government has cracked down hard,
and protests have spread.
Big push to end Syrian crisis stalls
Western and Arab powers hoped to
stem bloodshed in year-old conflict.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip
Cross-border fighting be-
tween Gaza and Israel, tou-
ched off by Israels killing of a
topmilitant leader, showedno
signs of letting up on its third
day Sunday. Gaza militants
fired dozens of rockets at Is-
raeli towns, hitting an empty
school, and Israeli airstrikes
killed three Gazans, including
a boy and a farm guard.
Egypt tried to mediate but
failed to end the worst vio-
lence in more than a year that
has killed 18 Gazans, all but
two of themmilitants, anddis-
rupted the lives of about 1mil-
lion Israelis living in Gaza
rocket range.
Even so, Israel and Gazas
Hamas rulers seemed eager to
avoid a full-scale conflict.
A three-week war three
years ago left both sides badly
bruised, Israel in the diplo-
matic arena and Hamas on the
battlefield.
In the current round, Ha-
mas has pointedly kept its
large rocket arsenal and thou-
sands of fighters out of the
confrontation, even though it
has not tried to stop two
smaller Gaza groups, Islamic
Jihad and the Popular Resist-
ance Committees (PRC),
from launching rockets and
mortars.
Israeli Defense Minister
Ehud Barak acknowledged
that Hamas did not take part
in the rocket salvos.
UptonowIsrael has blamed
Hamas for all violence from
Gaza because it rules the terri-
tory.
Israels military chief, Lt.
Gen. Benny Gantz, said Sun-
daythat wearenot interested
in escalation in and of itself.
Ona visit tosouthernIsrael,
Prime Minister Benjamin Ne-
tanyahupledgedthe airstrikes
wouldcontinue as long as nec-
essary.
We have a clear policy: we
will hit anyone who plans to
harm us, who prepares to
harm us and who harms us,
he said in a meeting with local
leaders.
Israel said it launched Fri-
days initial airstrike, which
killed PRC leader Zuhair al-
Qaissi in a car in downtown
Gaza, to stop a plan by his
splinter group to infiltrate in-
to Israel through Egypts law-
less Sinai Peninsula. Israel
says the PRCwas behindanat-
tack on the border in August,
killing eight Israelis.
3 killed in 3rd day of Gaza-Israel violence

sey, for several years prior to be-
coming a counselor at Keystone
Job Corps, Drums. Jack retired
from Luzerne County Community
College, where he served as Eve-
ning/Off-campus Counselor for
several years. A graduate of Hazle-
ton High School and Penn State
University, Jack held three mas-
ters degrees and multiple certifi-
cations from Bucknell and Penn
State.
INVENTIONS AND CRE-
ATIVE WORK:
He was awarded a U.S. patent
for inventing the Handy-Vee, a sin-
gle-hand eating device he devel-
oped after observing his mothers dif-
ficulties with eating after she suf-
fered a stroke. Jack also invented the
Traveling Rosary to be attached to
the steering wheel of a vehicle so you
could say the Rosary while driving.
Jack was especially proud of his
musical compositions. If you knew
Jack for any length of time, you knew
of his consummate efforts in writing
songs. One that comes to mind is his
Penn State is Number One song.
Another, perhaps his best work, is a
Christmas holiday song, which was
very catchy and can yet possibly be-
come a popular Christmas song. His
work of four original holiday songs
are hosted on iTunes and other on-
line music sites.
Jack was an avid pinochle player
and race horse aficionado who spent
many winters in the North Miami ar-
ea. Socially committed to Happy
Hour every Friday with friends at
TGI Fridays, Wilkes-Barre, or Cafe
Europa at the Wyoming Valley Mall.
Jack was a devote Catholic and
practiced his faith regularly. He was a

LOS ANGELES NASAs Jet
Propulsion Laboratory has land-
ed robotic explorers on the sur-
face of Mars, sent probes to outer
planets and operates a worldwide
networkof antennas that commu-
nicates withinterplanetaryspace-
craft.
Its latest mission is defending
itself in a workplace lawsuit filed
by a former computer specialist
who claims he was demoted
and then let go for promoting
his views on intelligent design,
the belief that a higher power
must have had a hand in creation
because life is too complex to
have developed through evolu-
tion alone.
David Coppedge, who worked
as a team lead on the Cassini
mission exploring Saturn and its
many moons, alleges that he was
discriminated against because he
engagedhis co-workers inconver-
sations about intelligent design
and handed out DVDs on the idea
while at work. Coppedge lost his
team lead title in 2009 and was
let go last year after 15 years on
the mission.
Opening statements are ex-
pected to begin Monday in Los
Angeles Superior Court after two
years of legal wrangling in a case
that has generated interest
among supporters of intelligent
design. The Alliance Defense
Fund, a Christian civil rights
group, and the Discovery Insti-
tute, aproponent of intelligent de-
sign, are both supporting Cop-
pedges case.
Its part of a pattern. There is
basically a war on anyone who
dissents from Darwin and weve
seen that for several years, said
John West, associate director of
Center for Science and Culture at
the Seattle-based Discovery Insti-
tute. This is free speech, free-
dom of conscience 101.
The National Center for Sci-
ence Education, which rejects in-
telligent design as thinly veiled
creationism, is also watching the
case and has posted all the legal
filings on its website.
It would be unfortunate if the
court tookwhat seems tobeafair-
ly straightforward employment
lawcase andallowedit tobecome
this tangled mess of trying to ad-
judicate scientific matters, said
Josh Rosenau, NCSEs programs
andpolicydirector. It looks like a
pretty straightforward case. The
mission that he was working on
was winding down and he was
laid off.
Coppedges attorney, William
Becker, says his client was singled
out by his bosses because they
perceived his belief in intelligent
design to be religious. Coppedge
hada reputationaroundJPLas an
evangelical Christian and other
interactions with co-workers led
some to label him as a Christian
conservative, Becker said.
In the lawsuit, Coppedge says
he believes other things also led
to his demotion, including his
support for a state ballot measure
that sought to define marriage as
limited to heterosexual couples
and his request to rename the an-
nual holiday party a Christmas
party.
In an emailed statement, JPL
dismissed Coppedges claims. In
court papers, lawyers for the Cali-
fornia Institute of Technology,
which manages JPL for NASA,
said Coppedge received a written
warning because his co-workers
complained of harassment.

WOODS CROSS, Utah A
Utah man persuaded his son to
surrender toauthorities after rec-
ognizing him as a suspect in a
computer store burglary while
watchinga TVnews program, of-
ficers said.
The two were eating breakfast
Friday morning when the father
recognized his son in surveil-
lance tapes that police released
on the burglary, said Woods
Cross police Detective Adam
Osoro.
Jeremy Blair, 26, of Kaysville,
turned himself in later Friday to
theDavis CountySheriffs Office,
theStandard-Examiner of Ogden
and Deseret News reported.
This case is very unique for a
father to recognize that his son
has aproblem, Osorosaid. Its a
hard thing to do, but I think ulti-
mately its the best thing for the
son, and I think the father sees
that.
While Blair was booked into
the county jail on an unrelated
warrant, thecountyattorneys of-
fice is reviewing the burglary
case for formal charges.
Blair and another man are ac-
cused of smashing the front win-
dows and tak-
ing about
$6,500 in com-
puter equip-
ment from
StarWest Com-
puters in
Woods Cross
early Monday
morning.
Osoro said
Blairs father
seemed sur-
prised and disappointed by the
allegations against his son. He
said the father was adamant that
his son take responsibility for his
actions.
Hes a very responsible guy,
Osoro said. I dont think hes
proud of what his son has done.
JoshHolley, owner of Starwest
Computers, praised the fathers
decision to persuade his son to
surrender.
I think thats pretty awe-
some, he said. Being a parent
myself, thats what I would do.
Blairs family declined to com-
ment. It wasnt immediately
clear whether Blair had an attor-
ney. Osoro said Blair refused to
talk to him at the jail and asked
for a lawyer.

The Free TV Hotlines are ringing off the
hook.
Thats because Wilkes-Barre area res-
idents who find their zip code listed in
todays publication are getting Free TV
thanks to an amazing razor-thin invention
called Clear-Cast.
Wilkes-Barre area residents who get the
Clear-Cast by calling the Free TV Hotlines
before the 48 hour order deadline ends can
get over 953 crystal clear over-the-air digi-
tal TV shows each year for free and get rid
of their cable or satellite bills
1
.
This is all possible because a U.S. federal
law makes TV broadcasters transmit their
signals in a digital format, which allows
everyone to receive digital broadcast sig-
nals for free with no monthly bills.
These are the over-the-air broadcast sig-
nals that the cable and satellite companies
get and then re-transmit to you for a hefty
charge every month.
Heres how it works. The Clear-Casts
advanced design links up directly to
receive local and national shows being
broadcast in your area. This allows people
everywhere to bypass the cable and satel-
lite middleman and get crystal clear digi-
tal and high definition over-the-air broad-
cast signals free of charge.
Clear-Cast was invented by Dr. Argy
Petros, a renowned NASA Space Tech-
nology Hall of Fame scientist who cur-
rently holds 22 U.S. Govt issued patents.
For the past 20 years, he has specialized
in developing antenna systems for NASA,
Motorola, XM Satellite Radio and compa-
nies around the world.
His latest invention, Clear-Cast, is a
razor-thin indoor digital HDTV antenna
that delivers picture-perfect reception
without a cable or internet connection,
without a satellite dish and without any
monthly bills.
I invented the Clear-Cast digital HDTV
antenna because I just dont think people
should have to keep paying for TV when
they can get it for free, said Dr. Petros.
Nobody needs to pay for hundreds of
channels and thousands of shows they
really never watch when the Clear-Cast
may give you up to 53 channels and up
to 953 shows to watch for free with no
monthly bills. Thats why people every-
where can cancel their cable or satellite
bills and save hundreds of dollars every
single year, he said.
People who get the Clear-Cast will
say it feels like getting an extra paycheck
every month. Thats because it doesnt
pull in those expensive cable and satellite-
only pay channels so all the money you
were spending on cable and satellite bills
will go back in your pocket every month,
Dr. Petros said.
And heres the best part. With the
advanced design of the Clear-Cast antenna
youll get the channels being broadcast in
your area for Free with no monthly bills.
That way you can channel surf through
the favorite TV shows. The number of
shows and channels youll get depends on
where you live. People living in large met-
ropolitan areas may get up to 53 static-free
channels, while people in outlying areas
will get less. That means even if youre in
a rural area that just pulls in NBC, ABC,
CBS, FOX and PBS broadcasts theres up
to 953 shows each year to watch for free.
The picture quality with the Clear-Cast
in many cases is actually better because
cable and satellite companies compress
their bandwidth depending on the chan-
nel. This compression can result in a loss
of picture definition and detail. This does
not happen with Clear-Cast because you
get virtually all pure uncompressed sig-
nals direct from the broadcasters for free.
Clear-Cast was engineered to link up
directly to local and national broadcasts
like a huge outdoor directional antenna
but in a lightweight, slim-line package. Its
sturdy copper alloy and polymer construc-
tion will most likely far outlast your TV.
It just couldnt be any easier to get Free
over-the-air digital TV shows with the
Clear-Cast. Simply plug it into your TV
and place the Clear-Cast on a window
pane. It works on virtually any model TV
and is easily hidden out of sight behind a
curtain or window treatment.
Thousands of Wilkes-Barre area res-
idents are expected to call to get Clear-
Cast because it just doesnt make any
sense to keep paying for TV when you can
get hundreds of shows absolutely free.
So, Wilkes-Barre area residents lucky
enough to find their zip code listed in
todays publication need to immedi-
ately call the Free TV Hotlines before the
48 hour deadline ends to get the Clear-
Cast that gives everyone Free TV. If lines
are busy keep trying, all calls will be
answered.
PENNSYLVANIANS GET FREE TV: FedEx trucks are being loaded with thousands of Clear-Casts and they will soon be delivered to lucky Wilkes-Barre
area residents who live in one of the zip code areas listed in todays publication. Everyone is getting the Clear-Cast because it can eliminate cable or satellite bills

If you live in one of the Wilkes-Barre area zip codes listed below call the special 48 hour hotlines to get Free TV
The Free TV Hotlines at 1-888-630-2836 and 1-888-630-2837 are open

the deadline youll be turned away from this offer and forced to wait for future
announcements in this publication or others, if any. So if lines are busy keep try-
ing, all calls will be answered.

Editorial
Overall, another very strong payroll report
and theres every chance that March will bring
more of the same.
Paul Ashworth
The chief U.S. economist with Capital Economics summed up a recent
jobs report that showed U.S. employers added 227,000 jobs in February.
Another strong month of hiring makes it less likely that the Federal
Reserve will take more action Tuesday to boost the economy.
FOR MOST young people,
the transition to adulthood
is a gradual process. Many
continue to receive financial
and emotional support from
their parents or other fam-
ily members well past age
18. Not so for youth in foster care.
Although the state has assumed respon-
sibility for these young people, few are pre-
pared to live as independent adults. A recent
report released by the Juvenile Law Center
and the Pennsylvania Partnerships for Chil-
dren called Maximizing Fostering Connec-
tions to Benefit Pennsylvania Youth con-
firms that assisting foster youths during this
time of transition is a necessary and wise
investment both socially and fiscally.
As is the case in many states, Pennsylva-
nia has struggled with limitations in the
support it can provide foster youths after
they reach age 18. The governors recently
proposed budget steps will ensure that fos-
ter youths are better positioned to make a
successful transition to adulthood and fi-
nancial independence.
Stacy Johnson, a former foster youth
attending University of Pittsburgh Law
School, is pursuing her education and a
career in child advocacy despite experiences
that would leave most of us struggling.
Stacy credits much of her success to the
support she received from youth advocates
and her foster family. The support she has
received well past turning age 18 was in-
strumental in helping her establish and then
meet her goals, which now include reform-
ing the foster care system. Stacy agrees with
the governor that youth in foster care should
receive the support she got whether they
pursue their education, job training or dedi-
cate themselves to employment.
The governors budget includes a proposal
to fully implement the federal Fostering
Connections to Success and Increasing
Adoptions Act in Pennsylvania, maximizing
available federal funding support for states
to care for foster youth until they are 21 and
to provide support for adoption and guardi-
anship for youths until age 21. These propos-
als will make a wide range of services avail-
able to older foster youths.
For many years Pennsylvania has worked
to assist older foster youths; often counties
have gone above what state law required at
their own expense because they knew it was
the right thing to do. The governors propos-
al will enhance this capacity so that no
Pennsylvania foster youth falls through the
cracks. It also will result in more youths
getting out of the foster care system through
adoption or guardianship arrangements.
Pennsylvania is headed in the right direc-
tion. Since 2002, researchers at Chapin Hall
at the University of Chicago have followed
youths aging out of foster care in Illinois,
Iowa and Wisconsin. The study shows that
allowing foster youths to remain in state
care through age 21, which has been the
policy in Illinois for years, significantly im-
proves their prospects by increasing college
enrollment, increasing earnings, delaying
pregnancy and contributing to housing
stability. Remaining in foster care provides
these vulnerable young people access to a
wide array of services they need during this
crucial period.
Moreover, a cost-benefit analysis suggests
that the benefits to the youth and society of
extending foster care to age 21 are more
than twice as great as the costs to govern-
ment.
Without such support, foster youth fare
poorly as they begin their adult lives. At 26,
only 11 percent of the young women and 5
percent of the young men in the study had a
college degree; barely half of the young
women and fewer than two-fifths of the
young men were employed; and more than
two-fifths of the young women and two-
thirds of the young men had been arrested
since age 18.
I hope that Pennsylvanians legislators
and citizen alike will stand behind the
governors proposals to aid youths in foster
care and ensure that they are launched into
adulthood with the tools they need not only
to survive, but to thrive.
The full Maximizing Fostering Connec-
tions to Benefit Pennsylvania Youth report
is available at www.jlc.org/fosteringconnec-
tions.
Helping foster youths past age 18 helps them thrive

Administration at the University of Chicago.
COMMENTARY
M A R K C O U R T N E Y
U
.S. PRESIDENT Ba-
rack Obama has
made it clear on nu-
merous occasions
that with regard to stopping
Iran, all options are on the ta-
ble. In recent days his mess-
age has become more emphat-
ic.
In a speech March 4 to the
American Israel Public Affairs
Committee, he declared that
his policy was not to contain
Iran, it was to prevent Iran
fromobtaining a nuclear weap-
on. As Prime Minister Binya-
min Netanyahu noted in his
speechtoAIPAC, Israel has the
same policy.
Nevertheless, U.S. and Israe-
li interests are not identical.
The U.S. timetable for waiting
to see if increasingly stringent
sanctions coupled with diplo-
macy and covert actions seri-
ously delay Irans nuclear pro-
gram stretches beyond the
timeframe in which we in Is-
rael feel it is imperative to act
in our own defense.
Our prime minister has an
obligation to his own people.
And that obligation includes
exercising Israels sovereignty
and military might in a way
that best protects the citizens
of the Jewish state.
So if Netanyahu and our oth-
er leaders are under the im-
pression that Israel cannot af-
ford to wait much longer to see
if diplomacy andsanctions will
work, they cannot simply place
the fate of Israel inthe hands of
the United States as Jews have
been forced to do for so long.
Not only do they have the
right as heads of a sovereign
state totake action, they have a
moral obligation.
The JerusalemPost
WORLD OPINION
Israel must act soon
to defend its citizens
T
HE PUTINIAN uni-
verse appears to be
unfolding as planned.
Vladimir Putin has
been elected to a third term as
president. His loyal place-hold-
er, Dmitri Medvedev, will ei-
ther become prime minister or
be dispensed with his servic-
es having been rendered, the
spirit of Russias constitutional
term limits duly thwarted.
Yet the victory tears shed by
Putin aside, this is a dangerous
moment for Russia.
Decembers parliamentary
elections were characterized
by election-rigging that pro-
voked demonstrations across
thecountry. Thebar was raised
for the presidential vote. Un-
fortunately, Putin has not suc-
cessfully scaled it. His re-elec-
tion by a large margin was se-
cured on the basis of condi-
tions clearly skewed in favor
of one candidate, as observers
from the Organization for Co-
operation and Security in Eu-
rope dryly put it. This only
serves to emphasize the per-
ception of a prearranged hand-
over of power.
A managed democracy, as
the Putinists would practice it,
is not a true democracy. What
has become clear these past
three months, as the demon-
strations have continued, is
that Russians themselves
agree that this is not an accept-
able approach to democracy.
The international communi-
ty, including Canada, is in an
awkward position. It needs to
censure Putin, yet shoulddoso
in a way that appeals to his bet-
ter angels, should they exist.
The Globe and Mail, Toronto
A democracy at risk
A
CONSERVATIVE
government should
put the well-being of
the family at the
heart of its policies.
People want to be able to
make a good life for them-
selves and their loved ones
without fearing that the gov-
ernment of the day will do any-
thing to inhibit or undermine
them in this ambition. Three
policies currently causing po-
litical controversy threaten to
do just that.
Proposals to impose a man-
sion tax on high-value proper-
ties, to withdraw child benefit
fromhigher-rate taxpayers and
to legislate for gay marriage
haveaunifyingtheme. Theyall
risk undermining the tradi-
tional family.
These are perilous waters
for a Tory-led government.
The talk is all of raising taxes:
no one seems willing to make
the case for lowering them.
The mindset is anti-aspiration-
al, the impact anti-family yet
the projected revenues are a
drop in the bucket.
Prime Minister David Cam-
eron should think very careful-
ly about the un-conservative
course on which he seems set.

Writer sees nothing good
about diversity agenda
A

zerne County Diversity Commission,
should be focusing on the dispropor-
tionate violent crime perpetrated by blacks
in Wilkes-Barre instead of trying to influen-
ce the city government with his diversity
agenda.
Maybe the reason many people are re-
sistant to diversity is that the diversity
Mr. Breese advocates has turned once
prosperous and safe cities into crime-rid-
den cesspools. Detroit, Mich., and Cam-
den, N.J., are only two examples.
Its a shame that Mayor Tom Leighton
seemingly lacks the guts to fight this di-
versity fraud, but you can rest assured
that the European American Action Coali-

there would never be one). Also, to say
there is no interest from minorities is false.
However, this mayor is no more respon-
sible than the nothing-to-say NAACP and
others.
There is definitely a need for change in
Wilkes-Barre. I remember Lincoln Street; I
was raised on it. However, you do not
create change by complaining to the spot-
light, then hiding in the shadows.
We need a leader, not another reason or
press conference to blame any single indi-
vidual.

few teachers volunteered to be
part of the committee.
She also said the new schedule
was supposedtobe inplace for the
2011-12 school year but was de-
layedearlylast year.
HighSchool Principal Jeff Shaff-

course changes. The panel dwin-
dled down to a few department
chairpersons by December. The

at a highschool inWisconsin.
Wagner said last fall, the com-
mittees explored alternatives to
the four-period day concluded the
current schedule was the most ad-
vantageous tostudents.
Hearguedtheincreasednumber
of periods would take away from
time devoted to existing classes
and increase expenses for books
and resources for newcourses. He
estimates about two weeks worth
of material will be eliminated as a
result of the shortenedperiods.
Wagneralsosaidtheelimination
of the flex period will cause stu-
dents to miss essential class time.
He said students needing to make
up tests would have to do this dur-
ing other classes instead of during
the flex period, therefore missing
evenmore class time.
Superintendent Frank Galicki
said he is working on a solution to
the elimination of the flex period
that hewill present tofacultysoon.
He also said the new courses will
require some creativity in terms
of funding, because of a strained
budget for the upcoming school
year.

coalition forces have fought for

in a region that was the focus of
Obamas military surge strategy
in the south starting in 2009.
Villagers described cowering
in fear as gunshots rang out as a
soldier stalkedhouse after house
firing on those inside. They said
he entered three homes and set
fire tosome of the bodies. Eleven
of the dead were from a single
family, and nine were children.
Some residents said they be-
lieved there were multiple at-
tackers, given the carnage.
One man cant kill so many

many people involved, said Ba-
cha Agha of Balandi village. If

In a statement, Afghan Presi-
dent Hamid Karzai left open the
possibility of more than one
shooter. He initially spoke of a
single U.S. gunman, then re-
ferred to American forces en-
tering houses. The statement
quoted a 15-year-old survivor
named Rafiullah, who was shot
in the leg, as telling Karzai in a
phone call that soldiers broke
into his house.
Thisisanassassination, anin-

Karzai said.
In a statement released by the
White House, Obama called the
attack tragic and shocking and
not representative of the excep-

bring the GOP nominating con-
test to a close. The former Mas-
sachusetts governor has built a
substantial delegate lead
against his rivals but has failed
so far to win a state in the deep
South, home to the Republican
Partys most conservative vot-
ers.
Santorum, who has battled to
be Romneys chief conservative
foe, burnishedhis standingwith
a decisive win in caucuses in
Kansas Saturday. The former
Pennsylvania senator also car-
ried contests last week in Okla-
homa and Tennessee, giving
him a toehold in the South.
On NBCs Meet the Press,
Santorum said Gingrichs re-
cent stretch of weak showings
suggests he has few options left
in the race. Gingrich placed
third in Kansas and dead last in
Wyoming, whose caucuses
Romney won easily on Satur-
day.
The speaker can stay in as
long as he wants, but I think the
better opportunity to make sure
that we nominate a conserva-
tive is to give us an opportunity
to go head-to-head with Gov.
Romney at some point and
hopefully that will occur sooner
rather than later, Santorum
said, adding he wasnt directly
asking Gingrich to get out.
Santorumattended church in
Tupelo, Miss., Sunday morning
and had campaign stops sched-
uled in Meridian and Gulfport
later in the day. Gingrich was al-
so campaigning in Mississippi,
where he plannedtoattendBap-
tist church services in Brandon
and headline a rally there. He
had five stops in Alabama on
Saturday.
The Gingrich campaign also
deployed a truth squad across
Mississippi Saturday led by Bob
Walker, a lobbyist and former
House colleague now chairing
Gingrichs campaign.
On Fox News Sunday, Gin-
grichcomparedRomney toLeo-
nard Wood, a U.S. Army general
from New Hampshire who ran
for the Republican presidential
nomination in 1920 but lost on
the tenth ballot to Warren Hard-
ing.
Hes not a very strong front-
runner, Gingrich said of Rom-
ney. Almost all conservatives
are opposed, which is the base
of the party. And I think we are
likely to see after the last pri-
mary in June, were likely to see
a 60-day conversation about
whats going to happen. In Au-
gust Republicans head to their
national convention in Tampa,
Fla.

were hats.
The girls and their mothers
were among thousands of people
who lined South Main Street for
the 32nd Annual parade Sunday.
The wave of greenstretchedfrom
South Main, down and around
the F.M. Kirby Center side of the
square, and cut off about where
the Ramada sits.
The party kicked off at 1 p.m.,
an hour before the parade began,
with a performance from The
Hooley Boys on the reviewing
stand on Public Square. For
some, the day began even earlier
than that.
Weve been here since 11,
Adonica Phillips of Kingston said
from her seat in front of Boscovs
Department Store. We just like
to make sure we have a good spot
and can see everything.
Marcus Hoerl, 27, of Wilkes-
Barre, also arrived early, though
it wasnt a seat he was seeking.
I had quite the day yesterday
in Scranton and I was looking for
some food today, he said as he
held up a gyro. This is doing the
trick. And maybe a beer, too.
The bars along the route were
in full swing, from Rodanos and
Hardware Bar to the Irish-
themed Mulligans.
Even the animals were in on
the celebration.
She loves the hat, I promise,
Shelley Walla of Swoyersville
said of her beagle, Taffy, who was
donning not only a tiny lepre-
chaun cap, but also a collar ring-
ed in shamrock beads.
Seven different divisions
marched in the parade, consist-
ing of Scout troops, elected offi-
cials, schools, businesses and or-
ganizations. Some parade day fa-
vorites were on hand, such as the
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pen-
guins mascot Tux, the Wyoming
Valley Pipe and Drum band, the
DavidBlight School of Danceand
several area high school march-
ing bands such as GAR and
Meyers.
Activity was not limited to the
crowds right along the parade
route. Barnes & Noble hosted a
St. Patricks Day Story Time
early in the morning, and Just
Plain Crazy Face Art set up a
stand on the square to provide
the spirit of green through face
painting for paradegoers.

We get 25percent of whatever
we sell.
The haul is good, with the low-
er end of the spectrumaveraging
$300for what Serrucalls a small
guy, but one thats really hot
might bring in upwards of
$1,500.
It was only the second day out
for Jason Hickey, who was there
with three other vendors touting
the same merchandise, and he
was already confident that the
day was going to be a solid one.
Yesterday, in Scranton, I
pulled in $294, which Im told is
prettyaverage for a daylike that,
he said. It looks like today is go-
ing the same way.
Hickeys more popular items
were beads and balloons, as well
as cotton candy.
Foodstands andfoodtrucks al-
so saw a lot of business for the
day. Some vendors included To-
ny Thomass Deli, The GyroKing
and Pete Webbys Concession
Stand.
Though Webby has owned his
truck for 20 plus years and is a
regular at the Farmers Market on
the Square, this was his first foray
into the city for the day of the pa-
rade.
Weve been doing well so far
and its just starting to pick up,
he said. In honor of the day, Web-
bys was churning out green fun-
nel cakes for the crowd.
For some, though, its not
about the money. Such was the
case with Tina Jones, who was
stationed on the square selling
homemade lollipops.
Jones has been making the
pops for11years andsellingthem
at 50 cents apiece. The money
she collects fromsales doesnt go
to her, for the most part. Each
day of selling is a fundraiser.
Imvery involved with a lot of
local charities, she said. Ive
worked with the soup kitchen,
Candys Place. For today, this
money will go to Ruths Place.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. Three-game
weekends are tough enough, but when
they are all on the road and the home
teamgets an eight-minute power play in
the Sunday matinee, it usually isnt a
good sign for the visiting team.
The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins
overcame the lengthy
short-handed situation
with some outstanding
penalty killing which
sparked them to a 4-3
American Hockey
League victory over the
Springfield Falcons be-
fore 3,959 at the Mass-
Mutual Center.
The victory capped a
wild weekend that saw
the Penguins earnthree
straight shootout victo-
ries. Goalie Patrick Kil-
leenrejectedfour of five
shootout bids by the
Falcons to earn his first
AHL victory.
I was just trying to
keep a lot of stuff in my mind, Killeen
said. Im not a stranger to shootouts,
but it was my first inthis league anddefi-
nitely a little nerve-racking.
By overtime, it was obvious the Pen-
guins were spent. They managed only
one shot on goal. The Falcons, who
spent more time in the attacking zone,
had two.
Cal OReilly and former Falcon Colin
McDonald had the shootout scores for
the Penguins to offset Cody Golobeufs
goal on the Falcons first bid.
I was proud of the fact that we were
able to stick with it, coach John Hynes
said. I just likedthe way we were able to
get through the adverse times.
Adversity came when Steve MacIn-
tyre ignited a brawl at the end of the sec-
ond period by getting in two separate
fights with Springfield goalie Paul Dain-
ton. Naturally, the Falcons responded
when the 6-5, 250-pound MacIntyre
started pummeling Dainton and several
players joined the fray.

Duringthe regular season, its hardfor
opponents to be friends on the wrestling
mat.
But when the calendar turns to
March, all hard feelings go out the win-
dow.
Once the District 2 tournaments con-
clude, individual wrestlers from differ-
ent teams normally get together and
help push each other to the next level
and rivalries take a back seat as teams
from the district and Wyoming Valley
Conference begintohelpeachother out.
Last weekend at the PIAA Champion-
ships, that couldnt be more evident.
Meyers Vito Pasone, who finished
runner-up at 113 pounds in Class 2A, ad-
mitted that Coughlin assistant coach
Bob Hawkins helped him with some
scouting for his state semifinal win over
Bedfords Ryan Easter. The Crusaders
and Mohawks always have a Wilkes-
Barre city rivalry dual every season.
Coughlin, which was co-champion of
Division I of the WVC with Wyoming
Valley West, lost a meet to Crestwood
this season and defeated the Spartans.

While No. 2 seeds Kansas, Duke, Mis-

such as Drexel, Seton Hall, Mississippi

been. Those bubble teams were left out,

Inthe moments immediately after the

the Wildcats were upset by Van-

GOLF
Rose wins at Doral
DORAL, Fla. On a day of endless
drama at Doral, Justin Rose won his
first World Golf Championship stand-
ing on the practice range.
Rose had to make up a three-shot
deficit against Bubba Watson, and then
a two-shot deficit against Keegan Bra-
dley. Rose was steady
down the stretch
Sunday, even with a
bogey from the bun-
ker on the 18th hole,
and closed with a
2-under 70 to win the
Cadillac Champion-
ship.
Watson, as always,
made it interesting. He hit a bullet of a
4-iron out of the palm trees to just
inside 10 feet for a chance to force a
playoff. His birdie putt missed on the
low side, ending a wild day even by his
standards. He closed with a 74.
If that wasnt enough, Tiger Woods
muddied his Masters future when he
left after 11 holes with soreness in his
left Achilles tendon, wincing badly on
his final shot a 321-yard drive down
the middle of the 12th fairway. Woods
said he would have it evaluated to
determine the scope of the injury.
NBC Sports showed images of
Woods behind the wheel in a black
sedan as he drove away from Doral. It
returned to golf just as Rory McIlroy,
who started the final round eight shots
behind, holed a bunker shot for eagle
on the 12th hole. McIlroy pulled within
one shot of the lead with a birdie on

NFL
Titans owner wants Peyton
NASHVILLE, Tenn. Titans owner
Bud Adams wants to sign Peyton Man-
ning and says he will do whatever
necessary to convince the four-time
NFL MVP to come to Tennessee, even
offering up a job in the front office once
his playing career ends.
Adams told The Tennessean on
Sunday that he has contacted Man-
nings agent, Tom Condon, to express
his interest and ask for the quarterback
to visit the Titans. Manning visited
Denver on Friday and spent more than
six hours in Arizona on Sunday.
The 89-year-old owner says he wants
Manning as the guy to get the Titans
into the playoffs. Adams says hed love
to see Manning in Titan blue after
watching him the past 14 seasons with
the Colts and will be upset if he doesnt
get the quarterback.

Obama campaign posts its
own NCAA tournament pool
WASHINGTON President Barack
Obamas re-election campaign is trying
to make some bucks off March Mad-
ness with its own version of the NCAA
Tournament office pool.
Its called The Obama Bracket Chal-
lenge. Visitors to Obamas campaign
website, BarackObama.com, are invited
to pick the winners of each tournament
matchup.
The prize isnt much, though: The
campaign says it will publish a list of
everyone who does better than the
President on the website. Anyone who
fills out a bracket is invited to donate
money to Obamas campaign. The
president hasnt yet released his picks
for this years tournament. He is plan-
ning on taking British Prime Minister
David Cameron to Dayton, Ohio, on
Tuesday for a First Four matchup
between Mississippi Valley State and
Western Kentucky.

Phelps posts second-best
200 free in world this year
COLUMBUS, Ohio Taking care
not to push himself too hard and too
stay on pace, star Olympian Michael
Phelps cruised to a 200 freestyle win
Friday at the Columbus Grand Prix in
the second-best time in the world this
year.
In his first meet since spending more
than three weeks at altitude in Col-
orado, the 14-time gold medalist won
easily in 1:48.41 second only to
Frances Yannick Agnels 1:45.42 this
year in Nice.

LAS VEGAS Timing the restart
perfectly, Tony Stewart dove to the
edge of the apron and ducked under the
two cars in front of him.
With one bold move, the defending
Sprint Cup champion was on his way to
a redemptive win.
Stewart made a three-wide pass on a
late restart andheldoff Jimmie Johnson
at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Sun-
day, winning at a track that was the site
of his biggest disappointment last sea-
son.
We had to wait 365 days for a shot at
it again, Stewart said.
I might not have
been so mad on the
airplane had I known I
was going to win a
year later.
Stewart came back
to Las Vegas with a
new crew chief and
the hope of having a little better luck
than he had a year ago, when a pit mis-
hap spoiled a chance at victory with
what he believed to be the best car in
the field.
With Steve Addington calling the
shots from the pit box, Stewart again
had a good car in his return trip to the
desert, uncatchable on the restarts and
good enough to hold off Johnson, Greg
Biffle andanyone else whotriedtotrack
him down.
Its been a long time since Ive seen a
car that fast, said Biffle, who finished
third. On the restarts, Ive just never
seen a car driving off like that.
Stewart got the lead with a did-he-
just-do-that move with 34 laps to go in
the 400-mile race.
Coming around turn 4 to the start/
finish line, Stewart charged up behind
Brad Keselowski and timed it just right
to dip below him on the apron. He
zipped to the front and stayed there,
pulling away on three more less-thrill-
ing restarts over the final 17 laps.
It was his sixth win in the past 13
Sprint Cup races and first on the 1.5-
mile tri-oval not far from the bright
lights of the The Strip.
We almost got too good a restart be-
cause I got such a good run on Brad, I
almost got there too quick, Stewart
said. If wed have got there a foot earli-
er, wed have had to check up and prob-
ably wouldnt get a run and get under-
neath him like that.
A year ago, Stewart appeared to be
cruising to Victory Lane at Las Vegas,
only to be tripped up in the pits.
He was penalized for leaving his pit
stall with an air hose still attached and
the team opted to take two tires on a
later stop to get him back to the front.
Stewart did get to the front, but the
rest of the teams saw that taking two
tires would work and switched tactics.
Forced to take four tires late in the race,
he dropped to 22nd and ran out of time
to catch Carl Edwards, finishing sec-
ond.
Stewart went on to win his third
Sprint Cupchampionship, thanks to the
five times he was able to get to Victory
Lane. He fired crewchief Darian Grubb
after the season and lured Addington
from Penske Racing to replace him.

all this tournament can be. Last
year, 4,000-student Butler fin-
ishedas national runner-upfor the
second straight season, while
VCU, of theColonial Athletic Con-
ference, went from one of the last
teams in all the way to the Final
Four.
Who might this years VCUbe?
Its the question being asked
across the country.
Kentucky (32-2) and Syracuse
(31-2) each enter the tournament
with only two losses. Both were
shoo-ins for top seeds Hatha-
way all but said so last week
thoughtheir recent losses certain-
ly will add more guesswork to
those millions of brackets being
filled out at spring training sites,
corporate board rooms and every-
where else across America.
There were 112 teams with
more than 20 wins, Hathaway
said. We talked a lot about parity
at the high end of the field and
about qualitythroughout thefield.
Bottomline, it was about who did
you play, whered you play them
and howdid you do?
Some losses, though, were less
important than others, and appar-
ently, losing in the conference
tournament didnt cost Syracuse,
Kentucky or North Carolina.
Those losses could have created
chaos, but the committee had the
teams more or less cemented into
top spots, with John Caliparis
Wildcats as the No. 1overall seed.
Kentuckywill playintheSouthre-
gionandpotentiallycouldplaysix
games without havingtoleave the
Southeast.
Its one thing off our backs, 22
games in a rowor whatever, Cali-
pari said, of his teams winning
streak, which actually reached 24
games. Its done now. Now lets
just goontothesethreeweekends.
Weve got a weekendinfront of us.
Its goingtobeabear. Knowwhat?
Good. Throw anything you want
to at us.
TheWildcatswill openthetour-
nament in Louisville against the
winner of a first-round game be-
tween Mississippi Valley State
and Western Kentucky, but it gets
tougher from there. A possible
second-round opponent is defend-
ing champion Connecticut, with
No. 4 Indiana possibly waiting be-
yond that. Before Sunday, the
Hoosiers who return to the
tournament after a four-year
drought were the only team to
beat Kentucky this season.
Second-seeded Duke got seri-
ous consideration for moving up
toaNo. 1seed, but an18-point loss
to North Carolina in the regular-
season finale and a loss to Florida
State in the ACC tournament cer-
tainlyhurt. TheBlueDevils areon
the same side of the bracket with
11th-seeded Colorado, a teamthat
got snubbed last year but won its
way into the bracket this time by
taking the Pac-12 tournament.
The Pac-12 was woefully weak
this year, placing only two teams
and leaving Washington on the
outside. Thismarkedthefirst time
the regular-season champion of a
power conference got left out.
In the West, top-seeded Michi-
ganStatewill beginitsquest forits
seventh Final Four since 1999
against No. 16 LIU. The bottomof
the bracket features No. 2 Missou-
ri, which won the Big 12 tourna-
ment but got penalized for a non-
conference schedule rankedinthe
300s.
That hasnt changed at all over
the years, Hathaway said, when
asked whether the committee re-
wards programs that beef up their
schedules.
IntheEast region, No.1seedSy-
racuse comes in smarting from a
loss to Cincinnati in the Big East
semifinals. Other matchups in-
clude No. 3 Florida State, which
went 4-1 against Duke and North
Carolina this year, against No. 14
St. Bonaventure, which was a sur-
prise winner of the A-10 confer-
ence tournament and took a bub-
ble spot away.
We had five teams on the
board, and we were talking about
those five teams all morning and
through that game to see where
theyd be going, Hathaway said.
There was a lot of conversation
about those last five teams.
AmongthefiveHathawaycould
have beentalkingabout were Mia-
mi, NorthwesternandNevada. All
had flaws, as did Iona, though the
Gaels strength of schedule ap-
peared to carry themthrough.
We tried to play teams or con-
ferences ranked above ours, and
most of those games we really had
to play on the road to get those
games, Iona coach Tim Cluess
said. Wespent seven, eight weeks
in a row on the road this year, but
those were the teams we had to
play to give ourselves a chance.

Kentucky forward Terrence
Jones (3) dunks the ball over

during the second half of an
NCAA basketball game at the
New Orleans Arena in New
Orleans Sunday. The Wildcats
lost to Vanderbilt, but still got
the top seed in the NCAA tour-
nament later in the day.
sible meeting of UNLV and
Duke for the first time since
the Blue Devils upset one of
the greatest college teams
ever 21 years ago in the Final
Four? Even better, Duke and
Kentucky could meet in the
South final almost 20 years
to the day since Christian
Laettner hit The Shot to give
Duke a thrilling 104-103 win
over the Wildcats in the East
Regional final.
So Drexel didnt get in. So
what. Nevada didnt get an
invite, either, and the Wolf
Pack won 16 games in a row
at one point during the sea-
son and lost only one confer-
ence game before falling in
the WAC tournament.
Glittering records just
dont count like they used to.
Not with coaches loading up
with soft non-conference
games, so many so that 112
teams in the country had 20
wins or more.
Win your conference title,
and youre in. Lose, and
youre just another 25-win
team heading to the NIT.
Besides, there are better
things to do than complain.
Like look forward to some
tournament storylines like
these:
KENTUCKY
The Wildcats are so loaded
that John Caliparis biggest
worry heading into the post-
season was his players would
be so busy worrying about
the NBA draft that they will
forget to take care of busi-
ness. That might well have
been the case last year when
Kentucky was beaten in the
national semifinals by Con-
necticut, and four players
were picked in the draft.
Complacency also might
have set in Sunday, when the
Wildcats lost to Vanderbilt
and had a 24-game win
streak snapped. This year up
to six players could be draft-
ed if all the underclassmen
come out early, which begs
the question: How does Cali-
pari maintain Kentuckys
graduation rate with so many
one-and-done players arriv-
ing on campus every season?
MISSOURI
There is no quieter top 5
team in the country than the
Tigers. Thats probably fine
with first-year coach Frank
Haith, who made the wrong
kind of headlines before the
season when questions were
raised about his ties with a
booster at the University of
Miami who liked to show
players a good time. Mis-
souri benefited from a cup-
cake schedule early, but the
Tigers won 30 games and the
Big 12 title. Their four-guard
team will cause mismatch
problems for anyone.
LAMAR
No, the Cardinals wont
make a run deep into the
NCAA tournament, though
that doesnt make them any
less fascinating. Lamar hasnt
lost since coach Pat Knight
ripped into them for being,
among other things, quitters
and drug users. Psycholo-
gists can debate the method,
but no one can debate La-
mars place in the tourna-
ment after winning the
Southland Conference tour-
nament. Knights father, Bob
Knight, called it his best day
in college basketball, which
almost made Brent Mus-
burger cry on national televi-
sion. This would be a great
feel-good story, except its
hard to feel good about any-
thing father or son has to
say.
SYRACUSE
Bernie Fine wont be on
the bench for this Final Four
run, and for a while it looked
like Jim Boeheim might not
be either. But Boeheim sur-
vived the child sex-abuse
scandal surrounding his long-
time assistant and his team
won 31 games to get the No.
1 seed in the East. Assuming
yet another scandal play-
ers on previous teams not
being suspended for positive
drug tests doesnt derail
the Orangemen, they have a
legitimate shot of making
the title game for the fourth
time in Boeheims 36 years in
charge.
MICHIGAN STATE
My personal favorite in the
tournament, if only because I
love the way Tom Izzo coach-
es. He schedules tough
teams and isnt afraid to take
a few hits doing it, some-
thing that happened this year
in opening losses to Duke
and North Carolina. His
teams play hard night after
night, which makes them
especially difficult in tourna-
ments, one reason Izzo has
led the Spartans to six Final
Four appearances in 16 years.
Michigan State also has
Draymond Green and one of
the easier paths in the West
region to make another run.
So many good stories.
Almost as many good teams.
No need to manufacture
controversy. And no need to
whine about what might
have been.

But when it came time for the
Class 3A Northeast Regional
Tournament, Crestwood coach
Jay Konigus and Valley West as-
sistant Drew Feldman, both suc-
cessful wrestlers in the past, lent
a helping hand to Crusader 285-
pounder Brad Emerick.
Were all a big family. All Dis-
trict 2 guys cheer each other on.
When we come down here,
theres usually just a small group
of kids andweliketosticktogeth-
er, said Emerick, who won a
fifth-place medal Saturday night.
A lot of us wrestled on summer
teams, so were all buddies. Were
doing better. Were starting to get
our names out there so thats a
good thing.
NO SHAME IN THAT
Five WVC grapplers left Her-
shey without a medal and were
most likely feeling down in the
dumps afterwards.
But theres nothing to be disap-
pointed about for that fivesome
because they lost to quality oppo-
nents, and if those wrestlers
were avoided, you never know
what couldve happened.
Dallas Dominic DeGraba (106
pounds, Class 2A) lost to South-
morelands AustinGriffiths inthe
first round of consolations. Grif-
fiths came back to finish third.
Fort LeBoeufs Kody Pace beat
Meyers Darren Stucker (Class
2A) in the first round at 145. Pace
grabbed the third-place medal af-
ter losing to eventual champ
Zach Beitz from Juniata in the
quarterfinals.
Wyoming Areas Andy Schutz
lost to Biglervilles Laike Gardn-
er, who placed third at 132 in
Class 2A, and to Curwensvilles
Jake Keller, who took fifth.
Crestwood 145-pounder Kyle
Hankinson (Class 3A) may have
faced the stiffest competitors in
his postseason. First, he lost to
eventual champ Garrett Ham-
mond from Chambersburg in the
quarters. Then in the second
round of consolations, he was
eliminated by fifth-place medal-
ist Ty Lydic from Greater La-
trobe. In the Northeast Regional
final, Hankinson lost to third-
place state placewinner in East-
ons Mitchell Minotti, who was
defending champ.
Pittston Areas Chris Wesolow-
ski (285 pounds, Class 3A) lost to
a pair of medalists in Coughlins
Emerick (fifth) and Kiski Areas
Shane Kuhn (fourth).
THREES A CHARM
Hazleton Areas Chad Hoffman
finishedhis career witha winSat-
urday night anda fifth-place med-
al in the Class 3A 195-pound
bracket.
Hoffman accomplished that
andimprovedonhis recordevery
year even with three different
coaches.
As a freshman and sophomore,
he was coached by Dave Shafer.
Last year, Jeff Sweda was the
head coach and this year Keith
Maurer was the man.
In a way theyre all similar be-
cause its all about being mental
in this sport and thats all they
talk about, Hoffman said. I
cant really compare them be-
cause theyre all similar in differ-
ent ways.
ANOTHER HEIDI?
Fans who were tuning into the
PIAA Championships live on
PCN may have run into a few
glitches.
First, in the Class 2A showing,
theprogramdidnt featurethePa-
rade of Champions because the
festivities began a little early.
Then, during the 138- and 145-
pound bouts, audio problems
arose and PCN cut to other pro-
gramming for a few minutes.
Near the end of the show, with
11 seconds remaining in the 285-
pound bout in fact, wrestling was
taken completely off again due to
audio problems. The program
aired again after the 3A tourna-
ment wrapped up.
The 3A event was slated to
start at 7 p.m. The unfortunate
scenario that came up there is
that some cable companies had
the tournament beginning at
7:30. So if you recorded it or
didnt know what time the finals
were scheduledfor, youmay have
missed a good chunk of action.
INSIDE THE NUMBERS
6,832: How many wins the pa-
rade of champions from both
classes tallied in their careers.
2,259: The digit representing
how many wins combined the
state finalists had this season.
199: State record for career
wins, set by Zack Kemmerer

Keener, who concluded his ca-
reer Saturday night with his sec-
ond 3A state title and has the
most of any state champion this
season.
169: The District 2 record for
wins in a career, set by Abington
Heights Evan Craig in 2010.
149: The career number of
wins by Norristown junior Brett
Harner. Averaging nearly 50 wins
a season. He could tie or break
the state record for career wins
next year with a stellar season.
146: Vito Pasones career wins,
which is the Meyers school re-
cord.
112: Chad Hoffmans career
wins, 28 shy of Hazleton Areas
school record set by his former
teammate Jared Kay in 2010.
102: How many wins Norris-
town sophomore Mikey Springer

berts and Richlands John Rizzo

ished their 2011 season undefeat-
ed, consisting of four in Class 3A
and just two in 2A.

bench after the fight was broken
up by the officials. But he headed
back out toward Dainton and
started another fight.
He was accessed with two ma-
jor penalties, one for fighting, a
match-fighting infraction, a mi-
nor for cross checking and a
game misconduct. MacIntyre re-
ceived17 minutes in penalties for
the incident at 17:42.
When the penalties were sort-
ed out, the Falcons were present-
ed an eight-minute power play. It
actually only lasted for 6:35 be-
causeMatt Calvert endedit when
he was called for holding the
stick.
But what a job of penalty-kill-
ing by the Penguins. They hardly
gave the Falcons a sniff at the net,
holding themtoone shot ongoal.
The P-Kreally steppedup and
rose to the challenge, Hynes
said. It was the turning point of
the game.
Alex Grant got the Penguins
even with a power-play goal with
5:07 remaining. He picked a Ben
Street rebound out of a crowd,
caught Dainton looking the
wrong way and sailed a shot into
a wide open net to knot the score
at 3-3.
The kill gave us momentum
and we were able to get a power
play and capitalize on it, Ryan
Craig said.
Killeenmade sure the game ex-
ceeded regulation when he made
a sliding save off a close range
backhand bid by Springfields
Nae Longpre with 25.6 seconds
left.
Earlier in the period, a pair of
power-play goals by Alexandre
Giroux enabled the Falcons to
overturn a 2-1 deficit and take a
3-2 lead. Giroux, of the most pro-
lific scorers in AHL history,
struck at 1:57 to tie the score be-
fore he converted a Martn St.
Pierre rebound with at 17:36.
Former Falcon Craig scored
one goal andset upanother inthe
first period as the Penguins built
a 2-1 lead. Alexandre Picard
opened the scoring 1:56 into the
game when he took a pass from
Craig and beat Dainton to the
short side.
PENGUINS

Joe Stanek, a Hanover Area
graduate, narrowly missed out
on winning the Miami Beach
Half Marathon this past week in
Miami.
Stanek led the race up until
the last half mile, and missed
first place by 18 to 20 seconds.
He finished with a time of 1
hour, 18.08 seconds, which was
good enough for second place
overall.
I was a little surprised, Sta-
nek said. I definitely thought I
wouldnt finish in the top ten let
alone the top five judging by the
results of past years.
Stanek, 22, flew down to Mia-
mi for his spring break to com-
pete in the half marathon,
which runs a course of 13.1
miles. He said it was just some-
thing he wanted to do.
I was just looking for a half
marathon to run over spring
break, said Stanek, whi is cur-
rently a graduate student at the
University of Pittsburgh.
Theres not many in the north-
eastern part of the country at
this time (of year) because of
the cold. I found this online and
decided to go down and run it.
The Florida area has seen
temperatures in the high 80s all
week, and the marathon started
at 6:15 a.m. to try and avoid the
heat. However, the runners still
found themselves competing in
the temperature of 85 degrees,
something that Stanek admit-
ted slowed him down a bit.
I expected to run a bit fas-
ter, Stanek said. I definitely at-
tribute that my time was a bit
slower than expected due to the
temperature.
While this decision to run in
the race may have been ran-
dom, Stanek has been a runner
almost his entire life. He began
running when he was in eighth
grade and ran throughout high
school. He also ran cross coun-
try and track and field when he
attended Mansfield University.
After doing so well his first
time running the Miami Beach
Half Marathon, he said its
something he would like to do
again.
It was a nice event, he said.
There were a lot of people
there, great sponsors, free gear
and a lot of running information
handed out.
Stanek grew up in the Ash-
ley/Newtown area. He attended
college at Mansfield University
before moving on to Pittsburgh.

ber.

NEW YORK Marian Gabo-
rik scored the Rangers third
power-play goal in the dying
seconds of overtime, and New
York snapped its season-worst,
three-game regulation losing

Gaborik snapped a rising shot
over goalie Evgeni Nabokovs
right shoulder to win it at 4:54.
Brad Richards scored twice
on the power play to reach 20

rebounds, and J.J. Redick added
18 points and a career-high nine

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

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I fre-
quently talk on my
cellphone in public,
and Im often irked
by the comments I
get from people to
put my phone away.
Personally, I dont
see a difference between a cellphone
conversation and an in-person conver-
sation, provided I keep the noise level
down. Its not like Im talking about
excessively personal subjects.
I spend an hour on the train going
to and coming from work, and I like
to use that time to catch up with my
friends. Am I wrong for constantly
talking on my cellphone in public, or
do people just need to get used to the
era of mobile phones?
On the Line in Palo Alto, Calif.
Dear On The Line: It may not be
what youre doing, but rather how
youre doing it. If people often tell
you to put away your cellphone dur-
ing your commute, then I have news
for you: Youre talking too loudly. Al-
so, those seated around you may not
want to overhear the details of your
social life. A root canal can be more
pleasant than hearing someone drone
on for 30, 45, 60 minutes straight. So
be mindful of your surroundings and
considerate of others. Whether youre
having an in-person conversation
or talking on a cellphone, the rules
should be the same.
Dear Abby: I have a friend, Dara,
who is a single mom. From time to
time she has watched my kids while
my husband and I have traveled on
business. For this reason I have given
her our garage door combination.
Now, every time she visits, she uses
our garage code and walks in through
our back door. She drops off items for
us and lets herself in when were not
home, then texts me afterward about
how happy the dog was to see her
or tell me to look for something she
dropped off.
I have told Dara she scares me and
my kids when she comes in unexpect-
edly. We expect her to ring the door-
bell like a normal guest. I have made
light jokes, but she hasnt picked up
on them. What shes doing is rude,
and I dont understand how she can
be so comfortable doing it. Do you
have any advice for me?
Intruded Upon in Wisconsin
Dear Intruded Upon: Obviously,
making light jokes about Daras in-
trusive behavior hasnt been enough
to get your message across. Thats
why the next time she walks in on
you, you should tell her plainly, di-
rectly and in all seriousness that you
expect her to ring the doorbell when
she visits, and to refrain from coming
into your home in your absence un-
less she has been specifically request-
ed to do so. And if it happens again,
change the code on your garage door.
Dear Abby: My wife and I live in a
small town, so we invariably run into
someone we know when were eat-
ing out at a restaurant. If we run into
people we know who have already
been served a portion of their meal,
we briefly say hello and then ... we
wont interrupt your dinner.
What do we say when were trying
to eat and friends continue to come
to talk to us throughout our meal?
Prefers to Eat in Peace
Dear Prefers To Eat In Peace: Smile
warmly and say, Were going to keep
eating because we like our food hot.
We hope you dont mind.
DEAR ABBY

Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447.
(Postage is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). There
are people around you who
could make your life easier
if only youre willing to ask.
Understanding that you cannot
do everything on your own is the
first step to eliminating stress.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Dont
zoom in on your weaknesses and
try to turn them into strengths;
youll only be let down. Youll be
far better off doing what you do
best with great enthusiasm.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your
influence is strong, but you only
use it when you know that what
you want is good for others, as
well. Your judicious mood will
help bring about a peaceful bal-
ance in the world.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You
may not be able to change oth-
ers, but you can change what
you think of them or that you
think of them at all. It might be
time to disengage from a nega-
tive influence.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Youll feel
an increased sense of focus. Get
serious about advancing your
interests. Narrow down your task
list so that you have the free-
dom to concentrate on the truly
important matters.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You
have experience and knowledge
beyond what the group can offer
you now. So instead of falling
into groupthink, youll be a
thought leader.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Its a rare
day when you choose assertive-
ness over diplomacy, but that
day has arrived. Tired of com-
promise for the sake of being
amenable, youll make state-
ments flat out.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Knowing is the opposite of cre-
ativity, which can only come
from not knowing. The day
invites you to stretch your sense
of wonder, and youll have the
courage to go out on a limb.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Give yourself time. Expecting too
much from yourself in too short
a period of time is a recipe for
stress and strain. Who needs it?
Be like the gods, who have all
the time in the world.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You
want an outcome for another
person, and your selflessness is
commendable. With any luck, the
other person wants the same
outcome.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Schooling is different from edu-
cation. Youll find that though
you are uneducated on certain
matters, you still know how to
handle them because of other
life experiences.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Choose
your influences carefully, and
limit your exposure to other
peoples opinions and agendas.
The values of the world are not
necessarily the values you want
to adopt.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (March 12).
The year brings inexplicable
bouts of happiness. Why search
for a reason? Just go with the
good moods. Aprils gift of peace
and tranquility will help you set-
tle into a nice personal groove.
Then May brings excitement and
surprises. In June, youll quest
to expand your knowledge. Aries
and Aquarius people adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 10, 3,
39, 28 and 18.
