SCHAUMBURG, Ill.
Mitt
Romney took a major stride to-
ward the Republican presidential
nomination Tuesday night, rout-
ing Rick Santorumin the Illinois
primary for his
third-consecu-
tive big-state win
and padding his
already-formida-
ble lead in the
race for conven-
tiondelegates.
What a night, Romney exult-
ed to cheering supporters in sub-
urban Chicago. Looking beyond
his GOP rivals, he said he had a
simple message for President Ba-
rack Obama, the man Republi-
cans hope to defeat next fall:
Enough. Weve hadenough.
Returns from61percent of Illi-
nois precincts showed Romney
gaining 48 percent of the vote
comparedto34percentforSanto-
rum, 9percent for RonPaul and8
percent for a fading Newt Gin-
grich.

WILKES-BARRE -- Hoping
to save money, Luzerne County
officials have decided to post-
pone performing a forensic au-
dit of attorney Angela Stevens
bills until they review a sepa-
rate independent audit Stevens
commissioned of her work.
Controller Walter Griffith
said he met
with several
county offi-
cials Tuesday
and they con-
curred the
county should
wait to see
what Stevens
audit shows
before deciding to spend tens
of thousands of dollars on a sec-
ond audit.
Stevens, a partner in the Py-
rah/Stevens law firm in King-
ston, has come under scrutiny
based on a Times Leader inves-
tigation last month that re-
vealed she had double billed
the county for work she per-
formed in representing parents
whose children are in the custo-
dy of Children and Youth Ser-
vices.
Her bills totaled more than
$144,000 in 2011. A Times
Leader analysis of the bills
found many instances of appar-
ent excessive billing, including
for more than 24 hours of work
on at least two days.
Stevens has admitted she
made billing errors, but con-
tends the mistakes were an
oversight. She notified the
county in February she had
hired Forensic Resolutions Inc.
of Haddonfield, N.J., to audit
her bills and promised to pro-
vide a copy of the report to
county officials.
Griffith said he spoke with an
official at Forensic Resolutions
on Tuesday, who advised him
the audit would be complete in
a week to 10 days.
Griffith said he is conducting
an in-house review of Stevens
bills. Once he gets the Forensic
Resolutions audit, he will com-
pare its findings to information
he has. The decision to proceed
with a separate audit paid for
County to
postpone
its audit
of Stevens
Attorney Angela Stevens has
come under scrutiny after
probe reveals double billing.

CommunityBankinDunmore, al-
leginga loss of more than$50mil-
lion in shareholder value over the
past four years.
Joseph Solfanelli, an attorney
with OMalley & Langan, said
Tuesday the lawsuit will be based
on allegations the bank, which
was once controlled by local busi-
nessmagnateLouisDeNaples, en-
gaged in unsound and unsafe
banking practices that led to sig-
nificant losses in 2009 and 2010.
According to Solfanelli, federal
regulators forced FNCBto restate
its earnings in 2009 froman $11.3
millionloss toa
$44.3 million
loss.
It was also
forced to re-
state earnings
from the first
two quarters of
2010, whichthe
bank initially said showed a $2
million profit. In reality it lost $6
million, Solfanelli said.
Neither DeNaplesnor bankoffi-
cials could be reached for com-
ment Tuesday.

POLICE BLOTTER
Luzerne County Council mem-
bers discusseda banonthehiring
of family members Tuesday as
they tweaked the proposed per-
sonnel code that must be final-
ized in a month.
The policy says no family
members of council members,
the manager or division heads
will be hired in the future.
The 11 council members
agreed to add the relatives of
elected county judges and magis-
terial district judges to this pro-
hibition list.
A council majority also agreed
the personnel code definition of
prohibited family members must
be more comprehensive than the
wording in the countys home
rule charter.
The charters nepotism clause
refers to immediate family but
does not define which relatives
are included.
The charter also says the
spouse or child of an immediate
family member is included in the
nepotism clause.
Council members said further
discussionis neededtodefine im-
mediate family.
The personnel code also will
prohibit county managers from
being "unduly" influenced, posi-
tively or negatively, in the hand-
ling of an employment applica-
tion.
The draft code says no undue
influence should come from a
county officer, official or employ-
ee.
Councilman Stephen A. Urban
said undue influence from non-
county elected officials also
should be banned.
Councilman Tim McGinley
said inappropriate influence
could also come from powerful
people who arent elected.
The group agreed to put the
burden on managers to reject un-
due influence from any source.
Council members plan to hold
another work session to discuss
the code.
In other business, County
Manager Robert Lawton said he
will provide his recommendation
on potential county involvement
in the Hotel Sterling project in
two weeks.
Lawton will present a report at
the April 10 council meeting.
Council Chairman Jim Bobeck
said council members should
then reach a consensus at that
meeting to resolve the matter.
Past county commissioners
started a plan to spend $1million
in county community develop-
ment funding to demolish the
downtown Wilkes-Barre land-
mark, with the idea the county
would sell the vacant parcel to at-
tempt to recoup the $1 million
and another $6 million owed to
the county by the propertys non-
profit owner, CityVest.
Council members must decide
whether to continue the demoli-
tion, walk away or invest funds to
stabilize the structure for possi-
ble future preservation.
Council tweaks hiring
County panel agrees to
expand hiring ban to relatives
of judges, district judges.

SCRANTON A busi-

guilty to a corruption
charge is seeking early re-
lease from probation so
he can expand a new busi-
ness that provides water
hauling services to the

Richard Emanski, own-
er of King Glass and Paint
in Swoyersville, pleaded
guilty in 2010 to supply-

tract with the district.
Emanski, of Harveys

attorney, Carl Poveromo,
filed a motion Monday
seeking to discontinue
the supervised release so
that Emanski can expand
another business, R&J
Enterprises, which hauls
water for the gas indus-
try.
In his motion, Povero-
mo notes Emanski has re-
integrated himself into
the community and is at a
low risk to re-offend.
Freeing Emanski from su-
pervised release would al-
low him to travel more

This policy would allow for a
relative of a school board mem-
ber to be hired as a teacher so
longas therelatedboardmember
abstained from voting. The poli-
cy also refrains from giving any
preferential treatment to resi-
dents of the school district.
After the meeting, Assistant
Superintendent John Lussi said
the nepotism provisions of the
new policy mirrored state guide-
lines, and he noted the new pol-
icy is very similar to one that was
briefly in place during 2011.
Before voting to adopt the new
professional hiring policy, the
board narrowly voted down a
proposed, separate anti-nepo-
tism policy that would have ap-
plied to all employees, not just
teachers.
The anti-nepotism policy had
been discussed repeatedly by the
board over the last several
months. If passed, any subse-
quent hiring policy passed would
have had to incorporate it as one
of its central tenants.
It would have prevented the
hiring of any employee who was
related to any school board mem-
ber or commissioned officer,
such as a superintendent. It de-
fined family as any parent, grand-
parent, sibling, son, daughter,
stepandfoster child, aunt andun-
cle, in-law, or first cousin.
On Tuesday, board member
John Donahue spoke out against
the policy, stating it wouldpoten-
tially preclude a large pool of
qualified individuals from find-
ing work within the district.
Board member Joseph Kelly
took issue with the inclusion of
foster children, pointing out
those individuals were hardly at
fault for their family situations
andfoster parents were oftentak-
ingthose childrenfromvery chal-
lenging situations.
Whenthe matter was votedon,
foster children were removed
from the list of relatives preclud-
ed. The proposed policy was also
extended to include all full-time
and part-time employees before
the vote occurred.
Despite the compromises and
discussion, the anti-nepotism
policy failed 5-4. Board members
Richard Gorzkowski, Robert Lin-
skey, Charles Sciandra and Mari-
lyn Starna voted in favor, while
Donahue, Kelly, Bruce Knick,

KINGSTON TWP. The
board of supervisors approved
two administrative actions at a
special meeting Tuesday that
will save taxpayers more than
$40,000.
The board voted to outsource
payroll duties to Diversified Pay-
roll in the amount of $2,138 per
year.
The board also approved a mo-
tion to amend the administrative
code to include a proposed com-
bination of the township tax col-
lector and assistant manager,
which will be filled by interimas-
sistant manager and current tax
collector Karen Rose upon the
completion of her training.
Chairman James Reino Jr. said
the actions will save the town-
ship about $40,676 this year. He
said its too early to tell how this
will affect the current operating
budget.
After last years number-
crunching budget meetings, Re-
ino said many of the townships
capital projects, including road
paving, were cut as a result of
financial hardship.
The board even voted last year
to enact the local services tax
and increased property and
earned income taxes slightly to
generate extra funds.
Board member Frank Natitus
said the board looked into
changing the township adminis-
tration after assistant manager
Robert Hivish Jr. resigned earlier
this month. He said the board
wouldnt have made the changes
otherwise.
Now we can try and strike a
different situation, and itll work
itself out, he said.
The board also voted to autho-
rize the township manager to
seek requests for proposals for
lawn maintenance services for
condemned or vacant properties.
The board approved a natural
gas sales agreement with UGI
Energy Services Inc. with a new
rate. Reino abstained from the
vote, as he is employed by UGI.

hunt will be held at 1p.m. April 7

DURYEA New recycling
containers will arrive in about
four weeks and will be distrib-
uted at that time.
Ordering of the containers
was delayed by the September
flood and the expenses in-
curred by the borough for
flood debris removal. Reim-
bursement funding was re-
ceived by the Federal Emer-
gency Management Agency.
The borough received a
recycling performance grant
in October for $24,147, re-
flecting the 1,485 tons of
residential and commercial
materials recycled in 2009.
The street department will
begin collecting yard waste on
March 30 and will continue
until the fall. Grass must be
placed in a container, no plas-
tic bags. Leaves can be placed
in plastic bags, not tied.
Branches must be cut in four-
foot sections and bundled.
Branches can be no larger
than two inches in diameter.
EXETER Yard waste
collection will begin on
March 29.
Yard waste should be
placed curbside by 6 a.m.
Residents are encouraged to
use a mulching mower blade
and mulch grass weekly, leav-
ing it on the lawn. More about
dont-bag-it mowing will be
available April 23 at the Bor-
ough Building.
Yard waste is to be placed
in an open container. Any
placed in plastic bags will be
refused. Containers are not to
weigh over 30 pounds. Use as
many containers as necessary
and separate full garbage cans
of grass clippings into two
half-full containers.
Yard waste consists only of
the following materials:
shrubbery or grass clippings
and tree limbs. Tree limbs are
not to exceed 3 feet in length
or 1/2-inch diameter. Limbs
should be bundled, tied and
placed in an open container.
Rocks, stones, dirt and
animal waste are not accept-
able forms of yard waste. Any
yard waste containing unac-
ceptable materials will not be
collected.
MUNICIPAL BRIEFS
LAKE TWP. Problems of
water runoff and junk cars on
two different properties have
motivated township supervisors
to seek out solutions.
Last week, the supervisors
were notified about storm water
runoff crossing county owned
Main Road and flood-
ing a residents proper-
ty and home, as well
as flowing into Maple
Grove Cemetery.
In an effort to re-
solve the issue, a
meeting has been
scheduled for April 11,
with state Rep. Karen
Boback, R-Harveys Lake, the
county engineer and other offi-
cials to determine the best solu-
tion for the problem, Supervisor
Amy Salansky said.The area
will need some sort of drainage
system. It is a low spot.
In other business, Mark
McNealis, township attorney,
was authorized to send a regis-
tered letter to the property
owners of 171 Maple Tree Road
regarding several junk cars on
the property.
Salansky said the township
ordinance states a property
should not have more than two
unregistered vehicles at a time.
When asked the number of ve-
hicles on the property, Salansky
said there are more than two
and it is unsightly.
Also, the tax collector an-
nounced the 2012 county and
municipal taxes will be issued
and mailed on Satur-
day. Any residents not
receiving their tax bills
should contact the tax
collector immediately.
All residents 18 and ol-
der should receive a
personal per capita tax
bill.
Office hours during
the rebate period will be 4:30 to
6:30 p.m. Tuesday and Thurs-
day; and from 10 a.m. to noon
April 14 and May 12 and 19.
If mailing in payments and a
receipt is requested, residents
must include both portions of
the bill with a self-addressed,
stamped envelope. Payments
can be dropped off at the mu-
nicipal building when the tax
office is closed. A secure mail
slot has been installed for con-
venience. For information, call

Sandusky wins info fight
P
ennsylvania prosecutors were or-

Sanduskys lawyer the phone numbers
and addresses of those who have ac-
cused the former Penn State assistant
football coach of sexually abusing them
as children. That includes their phone
numbers and addresses back when the
crimes are alleged to have occurred.
It was a pretrial win for Sanduskys
lawyer Joe Amendola, who argued in a
filing late last week that it would be
very difficult for defense investigators
to locate and try to interview them
without first getting contact informa-
tion from prosecutors.
The order by Judge John Cleland
could also lead to the prosecution
turning over any psychological eval-

the attorney generals office was given
another week to try to persuade him
they are protected by legal privilege
and not subject to disclosure.
BAGHDAD
46 killed ahead of summit
Insurgents plotting to derail next
weeks Arab League meeting in Bagh-
dad unleashed bloody attacks across
Iraq on Tuesday, killing 46 people. The
government vowed not to be scared off
from hosting the summit the first in
the country in a generation and a
chance to prove it is moving toward
normalcy after years of war.
Bombs struck Shiite pilgrims in the
holy city of Karbala, set cars on fire in
Kirkuk and targeted security forces and
government officials in Baghdad and
surrounding cities. Iraqis out shopping
or eating at restaurants fell victim:
More than 200 people were wounded
in fewer than six hours.
The attacks were not entirely un-
expected: officials have warned for
weeks that al-Qaida and Sunni sympa-
thizers would try to thwart the League
summit by sowing fear about Bagh-
dads stability.
WASHINGTON
Juvie sentence cases OKd
The Supreme Court appeared ready
Tuesday to say anew that young people
who commit even the most brutal
crimes should not be punished as
harshly as adults, taking up a pair of
cases in which 14-year-olds convicted of
murder are serving life sentences with
no chance of parole.
The latest in a line of cases asks
whether young teenagers facing the
rest of their lives in prison deserve the
possibility of a second chance. In re-
cent years, the court has ruled out the
death penalty for juveniles and life
without parole for young people whose
crimes did not involve killing.
Roughly 2,300 people are behind
bars for life with no chance of winning
their freedom for crimes they commit-
ted before their 18th birthday. Seventy-
nine of them are in prison for crimes
that took place when they were 14 or
younger.

Russias Syria move noted
The Obama administration seized
Tuesday on Russias endorsement of
Kofi Annans mediation efforts in Syria
as a positive step toward international
unity, even if the decision fails to re-
solve a fundamental disagreement
between the Kremlin and the West.
After blocking two previous United
Nations resolutions critical of Syria,
Russias foreign minister declared his
governments readiness to support a
new U.N. effort to force President Bash-
ar Assads regime to halt its bloody
crackdown. Sergey Lavrov added that
an accord should be reached among
all the Syrians, the government and all
opposition groups on securing peace
and starting a political dialogue.
State Department spokeswoman
Victoria Nuland hailed what she called
an increasing convergence of views in
the U.N. Security Council, where veto-
wielders China and Russia have been
resistant to tough international action
against Assad. She said a strong state-
ment from the body could help Annan
try to mediate a solution to the vio-
lence in Syria.

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan Resi-
dents of anAfghanvillagenear wherean
American soldier is alleged to have
killed16 civilians are convinced that the
slayings were in retaliation for a road-
side bomb attack on U.S. forces in the
same area a few days earlier.
In accounts to The Associated Press
and to Afghan government officials, the
residents allege that U.S. troops lined
up men from the village of Mokhoyan
against a wall after the bombing on ei-
ther March 7 or 8, and told them they
would pay a price for the attack.
The lawyer for Army Staff Sgt. Robert
Bales, who is accused in the March 11
killings of the 16 civilians, has said that
his client was upset because a buddy
had lost a leg in an explosion on March
9.
Its unclear if the bombing cited by at-
torney John Henry Browne was the
same as the one described by the villag-
ers that prompted the alleged threats.
After a meeting at a military prison in
Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, Browne said
Bales told hima roadside bomb blewoff
the leg of one of his friends two days be-
fore the shootings occurred.
A spokesman for the U.S. military de-
clined to give any information on the
bombing or even confirm that it oc-
curred, citing the investigation of the
shootings. Healsodeclinedtocomment
onthe allegationthat U.S. troops threat-
ened retaliation.
The shooting incident as well as any
possibilities that led up to it or might be
associated with it will be investigated,
Lt. Col. Jimmie Cummings, a spokes-
man for U.S. forces in Afghanistan, said
Tuesday.
Bales, 38, is suspected of leaving a
U.S. base in Panjwai district of Kanda-
har province, entering homes and gun-
ning down nine children, four men and
three women before dawn on March 11
in the villages of Balandi and Alkozai.
Mokhoyanis about 500 yards east of the
base.
The shootings have further strained
ties between the U.S. government and
President Hamid Karzai, who has ac-
cused the U.S. military of not cooperat-
ingwitha delegationhe appointedtoin-
vestigate the killings.

FORKSTON State police
say they now believe that car-
bon monoxide poisoning likely
killed three cousins inside a
mountain cabin in 2006 after
new tests were conducted in
the wake of a story by The As-
sociated Press that raised ques-
tions about suspicions it might
have been a triple homicide.
The AP sto-
ry ran in early
November
2011, several
days before
the fifth anni-
versary of
their deaths,
and helped
prompt a re-
newed effort
to look for an-
swers to
doubts about
hospital test results and other
issues in the initial investiga-
tion.
Investigators measured lethal
levels of the gas during a pair of
re-enactments performed at the
Forkston Mountain cabin using
the same gasoline generator
and portable space heaters that
had been in place at the time.
The first re-enactment was per-
formed in November, and a sec-
ond one last week confirmed
the results regarding the deaths
of David Grasch, Tony DiMarti-
no and Pat Mahoney.
Davids father, Al Grasch, said
he planned to visit his sons

PARISAll sevenvictims of
a shooter in France were killed
with bullets to the head, shot at
such close range that the gun-
fire burned the skin, a prosecu-
tor said Tuesday.
French police scoured the re-
gion by the hundreds, hunting
for an expert gunman who may
have neo-Nazi ties or grudges
against minorities.
The gunman is suspected of
three deadly attacks: killing
four Monday at a Jewish school
in Toulouse, three of themchil-
dren; shootingdeadtwoFrench
paratroopers and seriously
wounding another Thursday in
Montauban; and shooting dead
another paratrooper in Tou-
louse on March 11. All three at-
tacks were carriedout by a man
on a motorcycle wearing a hel-
met and carrying a Colt 45,
Prosecutor Francois Molins
said, adding other clues to the
killers identify were scarce.
We are confronted with an
individual extremely deter-
mined in his actions, an armed
individual who acts always
with the same modus operan-
di, Molins said, in cold blood
... with premeditated actions.
He added the crimes appear
to be premeditated due to the
killers choices of victims and
the choices of his targets
the army, the foreign origin of
the victims or their religion.
All the victims at the school
were duel French-Israeli citi-
zens and the paratroopers were
of North African or French Ca-
ribbean origin.

A Hanover Township man
chargedwithslashing several peo-
ple during a fight in May pleaded
guilty Tuesday toa relatedcharge.
Jesse Geasey, 32, entered the
plea to a charge of aggravated as-
sault before Luzerne County Se-
nior Judge Kenneth Brown.
Brown said Geasey, who could
face a maxi-
mumof 10 years
in prison on the
charge, will be
sentenced on
June 17.
Geasey was
charged in May
after police said
he slashed six people during a
fight at Coal and Meade streets.
Brownsaidthe aggravatedassault
charge Geaseypleadedtopertains
to injuring only WilliamShotwell.
There is evidence, Brown said,
that Geasey directly injured Shot-
well and remaining charges of ag-
gravated assault and simple as-
sault will be withdrawn.
According to court papers, the
fight broke out on May 6, after Ta-
mika Lewis told a group of people
who had been drinking beer to
leave her property.
Police said in the criminal com-
plaint that Lewis began arguing
with Jessika Shotwell and threat-
ened other people.
During the verbal exchange,
Geasey allegedly pushed Jessika
Shotwell, starting a fight resulting
in the stabbing and slashing of six
people, the criminal complaint
says.
GeaseysaidTuesdayheremem-
bers having a sharp object but was
too intoxicated to remember ex-
actly what happened. Geasey said
he is an alcoholic and had at least
six 24-ounce beers before the inci-
dent.
Geasey is also facing charges re-
lating to a case inwhichpolice say
he removed a human skull from a
Wilkes-Barre cemetery in July
2010.
Brown said he understood that
Geaseys attorney, Allyson Kac-
marski, was discussing with her
client a possible plea in that case,
and that it would be discussed at
the June sentencing date.
In that case, police say Geasey
forced open a locked door of a
mausoleum at the Hollenback
Cemetery and removed the skull
of a woman who died in1926.

DURYEA A woman told po-
lice she used a fishing pole to
help fend off a man who was al-
legedly beating her boyfriend in
a dispute over a blocked drive-
way on Main Street, according
to charges filed.
Daniel Dade, 30, and Belinda
Glover, 37, both of Foote Ave-
nue, Duryea, were arraigned
Tuesday in Wilkes-Barre Cen-
tral Court on three counts of
simple assault, and one count
each of disorderly conduct and
harassment. Theywerereleased
on $10,000 unsecured bail.
Police allege Jason Kuna, 30,
of Main Street, Duryea, assault-
ed Dade for blocking a driveway
to his home on Sunday. Glover
retrieved a fishing pole from
Dades vehicle and struck Kuna
in an attempt to break up the
fight, police said.
Kuna was charged Monday
with two counts of simple as-
sault, and one count each of ter-
roristic threats, harassment and
disorderly conduct. He was re-
leased on $10,000 unsecured
bail.
According to the criminal
complaint:
Dade parked on Main Street
and waited in his car while his
friend, Kimberly Macklowe,
went into her apartment to get a
sweatshirt. While Dade was
waiting, Kuna pulled up on a
motorcycle and went around
Dades vehicle into a driveway.
KunaapproachedDades vehi-
cle and punched the drivers
side window saying, Youre
gonna have problems (racial
slur) if you do this again, the
criminal complaint says.
Dade told police he got out of
his vehicle and was punched in
the head by Kuna.
The two men fought when
Glover got out of Dades vehicle,
retrieved a fishing pole fromthe
trunk and swung it at Kuna,
striking him several times, ac-
cording to the criminal com-
plaint.
Kunas wife ran out of the
house and swung a broom stick
at Glover, policesaid. Macklowe
drove Dades vehicle down the
street to protect an 8-year-old
girl in the car.
Kuna suffered several lacera-
tions that he alleged were
caused by a box cutter. Police
said they were unable to find a
box cutter or a weapon on the
ground or in Dades vehicle.
Kuna was treated at a local
hospital.
Preliminary hearings for
Dade and Glover are scheduled
on March 28 before Senior Dis-
trict Judge Andrew Barilla in
Pittston. A preliminary hearing
for Kuna is scheduled for April
18.
Fight over blocked driveway
involves fists and fishing pole

SCRANTON A federal judge
has dismissed parts of a lawsuit
nightclub owner ThomGreco fil-
ed alleging that Kings College,
Wilkes-Barre city and Luzerne
County conspired to shut down
the club, but allowed other por-
tions of the suit to continue.
Greco filed suit last year
against various officials alleging
they wanted the The Mines
closed because its clients were
predominantly black and Latino.
The club was located on North
Main Street across from the
Kings campus.
U.S. District Judge A. Richard
Caputo on Monday dismissed all
but one of the counts against the
college. The judge alsodismissed
city employee Butch Frati and
former employee J.J. Murphy,
but allowed other counts against
the city and county to proceed.
Greco claims city and county
officials had unfairly targeted
The Mines for additional police
scrutinyas part of apatternof dis-
criminatory enforcement practic-
es against businesses that serve a
predominantly minority clien-
tele.
The suit allegedKings College
officials pressedlawenforcement
to focus on the bar because par-
ents were threatening to take
their children out of the college
unless action was taken.
The city and county reacted,
the suit alleges, by increasing pa-
trols and subjecting patrons of
the bar to intense scrutiny, in-
cluding requiring some to under-
go breathalyzer tests as they exit-
ed the bar. That caused the clien-
tele to stoppatronizing the night-
club.
Greco sought damages on sev-
eral counts, including allegations
the defendants violatedhis rights
to due process by abusing police
power. He also claimed his rights
to equal protection were violated
because authorities treated his
business differently than others.
Caputo on Monday dismissed
those claims against Kings Col-
lege, finding that Greco had not
providedany evidence tosupport
his allegation college officials
conspired with law enforcement.
The judge let stand a claimthe
college interfered with Grecos
business, however, based on evi-
dence college officials took ac-
tion on their own, including ad-
vising students on how to file
complaints against The Mines
with the Liquor Control Board.
Regarding the city and county,
Caputo dismissed claims against
Frati, the citys director of oper-
ations, and Murphy, the former
administrator, finding Greco had
not provided any evidence they
were involved in the alleged con-
spiracy.
Caputo rejected the city and
countys efforts to dismiss the
due process and equal protection
claims, however. The judge ruled
Greco had presented sufficient
evidenceat this stageof thelitiga-
tion to support his allegation of
unfair treatment.
The Mines alleges that city
and county law enforcement offi-
cers intentionallytreatedit differ-
ently than similarly situated
nightclubs in the area. Although
the county defendants argue
there was a rational basis for any
different treatment, that is an is-
sue of fact not appropriate for the
motion-to-dismiss stage, Capu-
to said.
Parts of suit concerning club dismissed
All counts against W-B worker,
ex-worker dismissed and all but
one against Kings College.

A federal judge has once again
ruled an insurance company is
not required to defend or pay
any damages that may be award-
ed against PA Child Care for
claims made by plaintiffs in the
kids for cash lawsuits.
The decision issued Monday
by U.S. District Judge A. Ri-
chard Caputo reaffirms a prior
ruling he issued relating to the
Alea London insurance compa-
ny.
Caputo determined Alea Lon-
don has no obligation to defend
PA Child Care or its owner, Gre-
gory Zappala
and former
owner, Robert
Powell, based
on exclusions
in the policy re-
lating to know-
ing or inten-
tional acts.
Zappala and
Powell are
among defend-
ants who re-
main in a class-action suit filed
by juveniles who allege they
were improperly incarcerated at
PA Child Care by former Judge
Mark Ciavarella. The suit alleg-
es Ciavarella and former Judge
Michael Conahan conspired
with Powell to jail juveniles to
increase profits at the center.
Ciavarella, Conahan and Po-
well are each serving prison sen-
tences related to the scandal.
Zappala was never charged with
any wrongdoing.

It just feels like another
ridiculous attempt by Rick
Santorum to appeal to the far
right.
Steven Hirsch
The chief executive of Vivid, one of the industry leaders in the
marketing of sex films and other ventures, commented after the U.S.
porn industrys movers and shakers accused Republican presidential
candidate Rick Santorum on Monday of pandering to conservative
voters when he vowed to crack down on their business if elected.
Keep taxpayers money
inside county, writer says
L
uzerne County receives four bids to do
the Children and Youth Services audi-
ts, all from outside Pennsylvania. I
dont get it!
Cant someone from the Wyoming Valley
do the audits and keep the money in Lu-
zerne County? Why give an outside com-
pany our money that will be spent in other
states? It makes no sense to me.
Thats what is wrong with this whole
country; we outsource everything.

Sarah J. Dymond parents
ask public for its support
W
e, the parents of Sarah J. Dymond
Elementary School students, ask for
everyones support during the public
hearing at 5:30 p.m. Thursday in the
Wyoming Area high school cafeteria.
Many of you already have heard the
disturbing news that the Wyoming Area
School Board will be making a determina-
tion on closing a school, either Sarah J.
Dymond in Harding or JFK Elementary
Center in Exeter. This vote probably will
come sooner rather than later.
We urge all elementary school parents
and taxpayers to attend and voice your
concerns. Do not think your elementary-
age child will not have to make a transi-
tion. Most of them will, as the board and
school district focus in on learning centers
versus neighborhood schools.
And, do not forget, the board voted to
raise your taxes above the adjusted index
of 2.3 percent 0.2977 mills for Luzerne
County district residents and 1.1672 mills
for Wyoming County district residents.
What is to prevent it from requesting addi-
tional tax increases for future financial
deficiencies?
Why are we asking for your support? As
a concerned parents group, we repeatedly
have requested information through the
Right-to-Know Officer at the high school.
To date, each request has been forwarded
on for legal review, after invoking a 30-day
extension.
We are unsure why the board or school
district insists on a legal review of every
request. Is the solicitor receiving compen-
sation from the district to review every
right-to-know request?
If for no other reason, please join us to
see where your tax dollars are being spent.

Fluke attackers should
have heard her testimony
M
any people are attacking Georgetown
law student Sandra Flukes testimony
without having actually listened to it.
She shares the stories of several other
women (none about her personally) and
the obstacles they have faced by not hav-
ing their contraception prescriptions cov-
ered by their medical insurance. These
stories tell how they have suffered fi-
nancially and emotionally and medically
because of this lack of coverage. For fur-
ther clarification, she is discussing birth
control pills which are prescribed by a
doctor, and one pill is taken every day
not devices.
Regarding financially: The cost of birth
control pills ranges from $360 to $960 a
year. The cost of one pregnancy, including
delivery, ranges between $9,000 and
$25,000, with an additional $1,500 to
$4,000 for the babys medical costs. This is
why insurance companies have agreed to
provide birth control pills at no cost. And
for those who complain, I dont want to
pay for her prescriptions, you already pay
for her deliveries. And any other medica-
tion that is prescribed by a doctor and
covered by your insurance company.
Regarding emotionally: Ms. Fluke
shared the story of a woman who was
raped, but she didnt go to the doctor,
even to be examined or tested for sexually
transmitted infections, because she
thought insurance wasnt going to cover
something like that something that was
related to a womans reproductive health.
Regarding medically: Birth control pills
do not only prevent pregnancy; they also
are used to treat polycystic ovary syn-
drome, endometriosis, amenorrhea (lack
of periods), menstrual cramps, premen-
strual syndrome (PMS), Menorrhagia
(heavy periods), acne and anemia. Many
adolescents are prescribed birth control for
these reasons.
Some women should not take birth
control pills (e.g. smokers over 35, women
with a history of estrogen-dependent can-
cer, liver disease, systemic lupus erythema-
tosus and prolonged immobility). These
are medical issues, so the lack of contra-
ception does pose a health risk to some
women.
And we are not even discussing women
for whom pregnancy can be fatal (e.g.
severe bleeding/hemorrhage, infections,
eclampsia and obstructed labor). The
World Health Organization estimates that
approximately 1,000 women globally die
every day due to complications from preg-
nancy or delivery.
For the writer who claimed that these
issues are not medical: The American
Heritage dictionary defines gynecology as
the branch of medicine dealing with health
care for women, especially the diagnosis
and treatment of disorders affecting the
female reproductive organs. Obstetrics is
the branch of medicine that deals with the
care of women during pregnancy, child-
birth and the recuperative period following
delivery.

Reader says opinion page
is taking Fox approach
I
m disappointed in The Times Leader
and its seemingly increasing shift toward
a Fox News approach to opinion. It
seems that your new management aspires
to create a local Republican Party channel.
I understand that it is a core value of
newspapers to provide a community voice
through letters to the editor and other
opinion features. But Im writing to ex-
press my antipathy regarding your edi-
torial eagerness to publish politically col-
ored letters from the Joe Expert of the day
who spouts conservative ideological
facts. No need to provide a source or
reference here.
Newspapers are supposed to be a venue
we can trust. Well, youre quickly losing
mine. The letter to the editor on womb
survivors, as if that was an accepted scien-
tific term, leading as it did by stating that
my president is killing children or that he
actually described children as punishment,
should not have passed the laugh test in
your newsroom.
One more thing. The newspaper has
published other abortion-related and adop-
tion-related letters in the past. Yet the
newspaper has never, as far as Ive been
able to tell, raised a core issue about adop-
tion that makes it impossible for many
people. Thats money and legal require-
ments.
My wife and I wanted to adopt but never
had the $25,000 or more to spare that is
required to pay for lawyers and the proc-
ess. If we had that money to spare, wed
have gladly spent on the children, not on
the lawyers. As it is, you have to be
wealthy to essentially, if you think about it,
buy a child.
If conservatives really believed in com-
passion and families, theyd push for public
funding of adoption. But they wont be-
cause that would be big government,
and an admission that people who have
less matter. Thats something the Fox
News-leaning scholars of the moment
inside and outside of newsrooms just
wouldnt get.

ELAYS IN THE con-
firmation of federal
judges arent upper-
most in Americans
minds when they complain
about partisan dysfunction in
Congress.
But the determination of
Senate Republicans to delay
President Obamas judicial
nominees even those who
have won bipartisan support
from the Judiciary Committee
is emblematic of the polariza-
tion that also has sabotaged ef-
forts of the two parties to work
together on numerous other
fronts. And the delays are ob-
jectionable in themselves:
They deprive the courts of
needed personnel, slowthe ad-
ministration of justice and de-
ter well-qualified candidates
fromagreeing to be considered
for the bench.
So its a hopeful sign that Re-
publicans have agreed to vote
on 14 judicial nominations by
May 7.
The White House complains
that the Senate has taken four
to five times as long to confirm
Obamas nominees as it did to
approve George W. Bushs.
Nevertheless, several of Bushs
nominations were delayed or
derailed by Senate Democrats.
Controversial or not, every
judicial nominee deserves seri-
ous consideration by the Sen-
ate and an expeditious up-or-
down vote.

OTHER OPINION: COURT PICKS
Stop the games
on judge choices
N
EARLY A QUARTER
million dollars de-
rived from the states
casinos will go to 50
or soWilkes-Barre homeowners
whose properties sorely need
fresh paint and other exterior
fixes to increase their curb ap-
peal.
Great news if youare(1) a for-
tunate homeowner who gets up
to $5,000 of this free
money or (2) some-
one who stands to
profit by selling
house paint.
For the rest of the
320,000-plus resi-
dents of Luzerne
County, well, the
citys newly an-
nounced Gateway
Faade Improvement
Project raises plenty
of questions.
Among them: Who
picks the participa-
tingproperties? What
criteria will be consideredtoen-
sure fairness? Will anyone con-
firm the selected properties are
otherwise stable, so as not to
waste cash on a soon-to-be con-
demnedstructure? Whichtypes
of upgrades are eligible (new
windows, siding, shrubbery,
awnings)? Why not require that
participants make a dollar-for-
dollar match?
Who will provide the manual
labor; andwhat measures might
be needed to deter unscrupu-
lous contractors from charging
lofty rates for lousy work? Will
homeowners, in future years,
have the money tosustainthese
temporary improvements?
Who will control aesthetic deci-
sions such as suitable paint col-
or choices or plant varieties?
Most important, howlikely is
it that even a sustained housing
rehabilitation program along
the citys main corridors can
succeed in reversing a decades-
long exodus from this river
community to the areas tonier
ZIP codes?
Thats not to imply we find
the neighborhood-
enhancing idea far-
fetched. In fact,
The Times Leader
proposed a similar
effort twice in re-
cent years (A
pride of place be-
gins with you, Ju-
ly 13, 2011, and
Lets pull together
to primp proper-
ties, Sept. 11,
2010).
But heres the
difference: We
championed these
home facade makeovers as part
of a volunteer-driven initiative,
fueled by private donations of
supplies, money and muscle
power. Models exist such as
Paint the Town and A Brush
with Kindness.
We believe that if state offi-
cials intend to disburse casino
money each year via grants to
municipalities, those funds
should be used for grand pro-
jects that offer long-term bene-
fits to the general public.
Barringthat, why not give ev-
ery homeowner a larger tax
break? Then all Wilkes-Barre
property owners could afford a
few extra tulip bulbs to spruce
up the front yard.
OUR OPINION: CASINO FUNDS
Color us dubious
about facade cash
We believe that if
state officials
intend to disburse
casino money each
year via grants,
those funds should
be used for grand
projects that offer
long-term benefits
to the general
public.

by the county will be made af-
ter comparing the two, he said.
We figure if our audit in
house comes close to their au-
dit, she already paid for it, it
saves us money, Griffith said.
In an interview last month,
Assistant County Solicitor Vito
DeLuca balked at the idea of ac-
cepting Stevens audit due to
the conflict of interest it pre-
sents, given shes paid for an au-
dit of her own work.
On Tuesday, DeLuca, who at-
tended the meeting along with
County Manager Robert Law-
ton and Deputy Court Adminis-
trator Michael Shucosky, said
everyone agreed the county
should at least look at what Ste-
vens presents before spending
money on another audit.
The county received four pro-
posals for the audit, with costs
ranging from $22,000 to
$46,500.
Were talking a relatively
short timetable. I agreed with
everyone there that I dont see
any harmin waiting to see what
that forensic audit shows, De-
Luca said. Whether we choose
to rely on it or not will be up to
management and the adminis-
tration to decide.
Asked if the audit would be
released publicly, DeLuca said
he would need to review the
Right to Know Law before he
could make that determination.
The Right to Know law ap-
plies to transactions involving a
government body. DeLuca said
he needs to research the law to
determine whether the audit
would qualify as a transaction
under the law.
Melissa Melewsky, an attor-
ney with the Pennsylvania
Newspaper Publishers Associ-
ation, said she believes the au-
dit would qualify as a public re-
cord because it relates to ex-
penditures the county made to
Stevens.
AUDIT
Continued from Page 1A
the grudging victories he eked
out in the previous few weeks in
Michigan and Ohio, primaries
that did as much to raise ques-
tions about his ability to attract
Republican support as to quell
those questions.
Santorum, who hopes to re-
bound in Saturdays Louisiana
primary, sounded like anything
but a defeated contender as he
spoke to supporters in Gettys-
burg. He said he had outpolled
Romney in downstate Illinois
and the areas that conservatives
and Republicans populate. Were
very happy about that and were
happy about the delegates were
going to get, too.
Saddle up, like (Ronald) Re-
agan did in the cowboy movies,
he urged his backers.
Romney triumphed in Illinois
after benefiting from a crushing,
7-1advantage inthe televisionad-
vertising wars, and as his chief ri-
val struggled to overcome self-
imposed political wounds in the
marathon race to
pick anopponent to
Obama.
Most recently,
Santorum backped-
aled after saying on
Monday that the
economy wasnt
the main issue of
the campaign. Oc-
casionally you say
some things where
you wish you had a
do-over, he said later.
Over the weekend, he was
humbled in the Puerto Rico pri-
mary after saying that to qualify
for statehood the island com-
monwealth should adopt English
as an official language.
Initial results showed Rom-
neys victory was worth at least
19 delegates in Illinois.
That gave him 541 in the over-
all count maintained by The As-
sociated Press, out of 1,144 need-
ed to win the nomination. Santo-
rum has 253 delegates, Gingrich
135 and Paul 50.
Exit polls showed Romney pre-
ferred by primary-goers who said
the economy was the top issue in
the campaign, and overwhelm-
ingly favored by those who said
an ability to defeat
Obama was the qual-
ity they most wanted
in a nominee.
While pre-primary
polls taken several
days ago in Illinois
suggested a close
race, Romney and
Restore Our future, a
super Pac that backs
him, unleashed a
barrage of campaign
ads to erode Santorums stand-
ing. One ad accused the former
Pennsylvania senator of chang-
inghis principles whileservingin

In all, Romney and Restore
Our Future outspent Santorum
and a super PAC that backs him
by $3.5 million to $500,000, an
advantage of 7-1.
After Louisiana, a10-day break
follows before Washington, D.C.,
Maryland and Wisconsin hold
primaries on April 3.
Santorum is not on the ballot
in the nations capital.
Neither Gingrich nor Paul
campaigned extensively in Illi-
nois.
Gingrich was defiant in a state-
ment issued after Romney sealed
his victory.
To defeat Barack Obama, Re-
publicans cant nominate a candi-
date who relies on outspending
his opponents 7-1. Instead, we
need a nominee who offers pow-
erful solutions that hold the pres-
ident accountable for his fail-
ures, it said.

2009 stipulation FNCB reached with the
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency,
a federal agency that regulates banks.
Solfanelli said that stipulation revealed
the bank engaged in unsound practices
and had failed to file suspicious-activity
reports. More information regarding
those issues will be released at a press
conference scheduled for noon today at
his firm, locatedat 201FranklinSt., Scran-
ton.
Thelawsuit is beingfiledtoallowSolfa-
nelli to obtain records that are needed to
determine the full extent of the loss to his
client and other shareholders, he said.
The suit is to request the court to di-
rect thebanktoreleaserecords, Solfanel-
li said.
Shareholders have a right to records if
they have data to demonstrate misman-
agement. I think there is overwhelming
evidence to support that.
The Dunmore-based bank has 10 of its
21banking facilities and a training center
in Luzerne County.
The banks stock price has declined
from$18.99 per share onJan. 2, 2008, to a
closing price of $3.85 per share on Mon-
day. It had reached a low of $2.10 per
share on Jan. 10.
DeNaples, former owner of the Mount
Airy Casino in Paradise Township, Mon-
roe County, had served on the board of
FNCBfor decades andwas chairmanfor a
decade before he was forced to step down
in 2008 after being charged with perjury
in Dauphin County Court.
Thosecharges allegedDeNaples liedto
state gaming officials who were investi-
gating his suitability to obtain a license to
operate a casino at Mount Airy.
The charges were withdrawn in April
2009 after DeNaples agreed to transfer
ownership of Mount Airy to a trust in the
name of his daughter.
Federal banking officials sought to bar
him from resuming his position with
FNCB based on a section of banking law
that prevents any person convicted of a
crime of dishonesty from serving on a fi-
nancial institutions board.
DeNaples has been battling to regain
his seat for several years, but has lost sev-
eral court challenges and remains off the
board.
First National Community Bancorp,
the parent company of First National
Community Bank, said in December the
increase in its 2009 losses reflected ac-
countingcharges andallowances that had
been recorded in 2010 but which were
more properly recorded in 2009.
The $33 million adjustment included a
$10.1million addition to the provision for
loan and lease losses, $14.5 million in the
securities investment portfolio, $8.1 mil-
lionof goodwill impairment and$300,000
in other adjustments.
One large non-performing loan was
$4.1million owed by W-Cat Inc., develop-
er of The Sanctuary housing develop-
ment in Wright Township. Stakeholders
in the project included former Luzerne
County judges and corruption-probe tar-
gets Mark Ciavarella and Michael Cona-
han, as well as their wives and attorney
Robert Powell.
W-Cat defaulted on the loan in Novem-
ber 2008, after only a handful of the 84
homes plannedfor the development were
sold.
Conahan was a member of FNCBs
board of directors before stepping down
in 2010, after he was charged with partici-
pating in a more than $2.6 million kick-
back scheme connected to the construc-
tion of two private, for-profit juvenile de-
tention centers and the placement of
youths in the facilities in Pittston Town-
ship and Butler County.

the monkey named Tyler for

there were never any problems
with the monkey that they said
often played with cats.
Anything with claws and
teeth or any kind of wildlife re-
quires a special permit from
the Pennsylvania Game Com-
mission, Conway said. Dogs
and cats are fine. You can also
be looking at cows, sheep,
horses that dont require a per-
mit, but then youre getting in-
to municipality ordinances.
A review of regulations from
the states Game Commission
and the Fish and Boat Com-
mission directs buyers of un-
usual mammals and reptiles to
check with their municipality
to determine if a mammal or
reptile is permitted.
If youre not aware of the
law, dont buy the animal,
said Bill Pambianco Jr., whose
father, Bill Sr., owns The Pet
Zone on West Oak Street in
Pittston.
Thats one of the first
things I say to a customer is to
check with their municipality
to see if there is an ordinance
against owning a reptile, he
said.
While it is illegal to have a
monkey as a pet without a per-
mit in Pennsylvania, no permit
is needed for an alligator, Pam-
bianco Jr. said.
In recent years, pet alliga-
tors have been found in the ar-
ea.
Drug agents arresting a sus-
pected cocaine dealer found a
2-foot alligator and exotic
birds in his residence on Re-
gent Street, Hanover Town-
ship, in April 2010.
West Wyoming firefighters
battling a blaze at a house on
West Brady Street in January
2008 encountered a 4-foot alli-
gator that was pulled from its
cage.
And, a man reported seeing
an alligator in a pond known as
the Dog Hole in Plains Town-
ship in July 2001.
Conway said there are nu-
merous businesses that adver-
tise on the Internet selling pri-
mates and other exotic ani-
mals. But what may be a legal
pet in Ohio might require a
permit in Pennsylvania, he
said.
The laws can be complicated
and inconsistent.
Pambianco said it is illegal
to sell a rattlesnake and cop-
perhead snakes that are native
to Pennsylvania, but not ille-
gal to have a rattlesnake from
New Jersey.
He also said a fishing license
is required to catch or take rep-
tiles and amphibians, such as
turtles, from waters in Penn-
sylvania, but a license is not re-
quired to take reptiles and am-
phibians if they are on land.

White said of the companys search for a
newlocation. Theres no timetable, but
we have received numerous customer
comments, and we intend to locate near
our former site. We miss being in that
area.
Joe Amato, principal of Amato Prop-
erties, the company that has developed
the Gateway Shopping Center, said he
had discussions with Redners about
constructing a building, but those talks
have been put on hold.
Amato said the numbers are a little
shaky. He said a large building with
specific requirements like a massive
refrigeration unit would be a big in-
vestment.
Lets say were still kicking the tires,
he added.
White said he couldnt confirm any
possible site for a new location. He said
company officials are still looking at
market data for the region.
The Mark Plaza store opened in 1997
and had been flooded three times in the
last 10 years. All employees of the Ed-
wardsville market were offered posi-
tions at other Redners stores in the re-
gion.
The 216,000-square-foot Mark Plaza
complex was home to more than a half-
dozen businesses before the flood. Now,
only the Long John Silvers restaurant in
the parkinglot has reopened. Kmart, the
plazas other anchor tenant, is under
construction in preparation to reopen,
but other tenants, including shoe dis-
count chain Payless, have indicated they
will not return.
Amato said most of the storefronts in
his two plazas are occupied.
And, he said, the former Gateway Cin-
ema building, which has been renovat-
ed, will have new tenants soon.
We are near a deal, Amato said. But
I cant provide any details at this time.

DENVERPeyton Manning
got JohnElways seal of approval
and Elway got the quarterback
he thinks will bring the Denver
Broncos their next Super Bowl
title.
Now, everybody gets to see if
Mannings surgically repaired
neck goes along with the plan.
Manning was introduced as
the newquarterback of the Den-
ver Broncos on Tuesday, the
four-time MVP taking the spot
once held by Elway, who as
Broncos vice president engi-
neered the deal to bring the
NFLs most sought-after free
agent to town.
After holding up his new, or-
ange No. 18 jersey in a photo op
with Elway and owner Pat Bow-
len, Manning answered many of
the questions that have been
bouncing around since March 7,
when his old team, the Colts, re-
leased the quarterback and set
inmotiononeof themost frenet-
ic free-agent pursuits in history.
On the neck injury that kept
him off the field through 2011:
Im not where I want to be. I
want to be where I was before I
was injured. Theres alot of work
to do to get where we want to be
froma health standpoint.
On his potential role in being
the man who could bring about
the end of Tim Tebows popular
stay in Denver: I know what
kind of player Tim Tebow is,
what kind of person he is, what
an awesome year it was. If Tim
Tebow is here, Im going to be
the best teammate. If other op-
portunities are presented to
him, Im going to wish him the
best.

nary a Terrible Towel in sight.
I just wouldnt feel right,

So rather than play for a 15th

opted to retire on Tuesday and
secure a legacy unmatched in
the franchises long history.

Ward said.

rank eighth all time and he is
one of two players with at least

A year ago, boys tennis
teams rarely got outside to
practice before the season
started.
Heck, even during the sea-
son it was a hard task to get
outside for a meet or practice.
Weather conditions were de-
plorable in 2011 with cold,
rainy or even snowy condi-
tions hampering the cam-
paign, leaving players hitting
tennis balls in the gymnasium.
So far, this season has been
the total opposite as temper-
atures have soared into the
70s and precipitation has been
minimal.
Instead of being confined to
indoors, players have been
able to get outdoors and get
used to situations such as the
wind and sun.
They dont realize that
outside when we played our
first match last year it was 39
and windy, Dallas coach Joe
Pugliese said. They dont see
how lucky they are. Just that
they are able to play outside
in game situations is huge.
We got outside as much as we
could last year, but it just
wasnt ideal.
Situations got so bad last
year that when teams finally
could get on the courts to
practice or play, they had
matches everyday for nearly
two weeks.
But now, its time to play

penalties levied against five-time
championship winning crew
chief Chad Knaus, who still must
pay a $100,000 fine because Jim-

Chief appellate officer John
Middlebrook
overturned the
six-race suspen-
sions NASCAR
handed down
to Knaus and
car chief Ron
Malec, and
ruled both in-
stead will be on
probation through May 9.
Middlebrook also reinstated
the 25 points that Johnson had
been docked. The decision
moves Johnson to 11th in the
Sprint Cup standings heading in-
to Sundays race at California.
Its been a tough 30 days,
Knaus said. Its not about vindi-
cation. Its time to move on.
Johnson, who earned his first
career victory at California in
2002, was ready to get on with
the season. He was told by Knaus
via text message about the rul-
ing.
Im glad this is over; now its
on to Cali, he posted on Twitter.
Knaus and Hendrick Motor-
sports owner RickHendrickhave
maintained the No. 48 Chevrolet
was not illegal when it was pre-
sented for inspection Feb. 17 at
Daytona. NASCAR used a visual
inspection to determine the
sheet metal between the roof and
the side windows had been ille-
gally modifiedto give Johnsonan
aerodynamic advantage.
The car was never sent
through NASCARs templates,
and the team maintained it had
not been altered since it was ap-
proved in January at NASCARs
R&D Center. Hendrick also said
he had paperwork showing the
car was exactly the same as it was
following Johnsons win last
April at Talladega.
My argument was simply that
the car is out in plain view. The
car went to the techcenter. It was
inspected at the race track. It was

Fourteen of the 16 teams re-
maining in the bracket are from
major conferences, leaving scrap-
py Ohio and Xavier as the only
mid-majors with a shot at follow-
ing up on what Butler and Virgin-
ia Commonwealth did a year ago.
Good news, even for you un-
derdog fans, is that the resumes
of the 14 big-school programs in-
clude 93 Final Four appearances
and 33 national titles. Get teams
like that together, and theres
sure to be some great matchups
and games.
Needless to say, it should be
sweet.

the matchups are, we might as
well start off by pointing out a
few.
Syracuse vs. Wisconsin. The
Orange live for creating turn-
overs; the Badgers hold onto the
ball as if it were a pot of gold
coins. Should be fun to see how
this battle of styles and wills
plays out.
Michigan State vs. Louisville.
A battle of minds between Cardi-
nals coach Rick Pitino and the
Spartans Tom Izzo. A couple of
pretty good teams with some
good players, too.
Kentucky vs. Indiana. Dont
think the Wildcats have forgotten
about that Assembly Hall court
storming after Indianas win in
December. Two traditional pow-
ers, too; a combined 12 national

Source: Alex Smith, 49ers
close to signing deal
SAN FRANCISCO A person
with knowledge of the negotiations
says Alex Smith and the San Francis-
co 49ers are working to finalize a
three-year contract.
NFL Network first reported the
sides had agreed on a new deal. The
person, speaking on condition of
anonymity because no announce-
ment had been made, said Tuesday
night final details are still being
worked out and an announcement
could come as soon as Wednesday.
Earlier in the day, Peyton Manning
was formally introduced in Denver
after the 49ers pursued the four-time
NFL MVP.
The 27-year-old Smith had met
with Miami on Sunday but ultimate-
ly decided to stay put with the team
that drafted him first overall in 2005.
Smith had a breakthrough season
last year, helping San Francisco reach
the NFC title game.

Judge Catherine Carlson called
James behavior predatory and
orchestrated to make victims de-
pendent on him.
The government requested six
years in prison. Jamess lawyer want-
ed a conditional sentence of up to 18
months with no jail time.

1980s and 90s.

Progress in talks about
Saudi women in London
LONDON The IOC says pro-
gress has been made in talks with
Saudi Arabia on sending women
athletes and officials to the Olympics
for the first time at the London
Games.
Saudi Arabia is one of three coun-
tries that has never included women
in its Olympic teams, along with
Qatar and Brunei. The IOC is now
hopeful that all three will send fe-
males to London, marking the first
time every competing nation is rep-
resented by women.
The IOC says it held a very con-
structive meeting last week with
Saudi Olympic officials, who present-
ed a list of potential female athletes.
The IOC and international feder-
ations will study the list to assess the
level of each athlete. A formal pro-
posal will be submitted to the IOC
executive board in May.
I N B R I E F
ORLANDO, Fla. PGA Tour com-
missioner Tim Finchem, saying it was
time to get better, announced Tuesday
sweeping changes that will end nearly
50 years of Q-school as a way to get to
golfs biggest tour.
The policy board on Tuesday ap-
proved two significant components to
the overhaul the PGA Tour season
will start in October, and the develop-
mental Nationwide Tour will be the pri-
mary path to get a PGA Tour card.
Cards would be awarded at a three-
tournament series blending Nationwide
Tour and PGA Tour players.
The board approved the concept,
which has been talked about for several
months.
What remains are the details a lot
of them.
Any time you make a change, human
nature is, Why are we changing? If it
aint broke dont fix it. Theres another
way to look at things, Finchem said.
When things are going pretty well,
thats the time to get better.
But while the tour wants to make sure
players are better equipped when they
reachthePGATour, moneyis behindthe
change, too.
The tour wants to make the Nation-
wide Tour more appealing as it searches
for a newtitle sponsor this is the final
year of sponsorship for the Ohio-based
insurance company. By starting the offi-
cial season in October shortly after
the FedEx Cup season ends it allows
thetour togivemorevaluetothetourna-
ments nowpart of the Fall Series. If they
are not treated like other tournaments,
odds are they would not renew their
sponsorship, which would eliminate
some $25 million in prize money.
Starting the season in October means
that Q-school nolonger canbeanavenue
to the PGA Tour. Instead, Q-school will
award cards for only the Nationwide
Tour.
Finchemoffered only a skeleton of the
plan:
After the FedEx Cup regular season
ends in August 2013, the tour will take
the top 75 players from the Nationwide
Tour money list, along with the players
who finished No. 126 through 200 on the
PGA Tour money list, and have them
play three tournaments. The top 50 will
receive PGATour cards for the following
season.
The biggest problem for the board is
blending two very different tours. Fin-
chem said his staff has discussed seed-
ing the players in such a way that the top
25 from the Nationwide Tour are as-
suredof beingamongthe top50. The on-
ly thing that would suffer if they played
badly in the three-tournament series is
their ranking for the next season.
For the last several years, the top 25
players from the Nationwide Tour re-
ceivedtour cards. Another 25cards or so
were handed out at Q-school, which of-
ten produced a few heartwarming sto-
ries of a long shot who achieved his
dream of reaching the tour.
Finchem said research shows that
players who spent a year on the Nation-
wide Tour are more equipped for the rig-
ors of travel than someone who gets hot
for six rounds and gets a card. He also
said an average 1.4 players go from col-
lege to Q-school and get their cards.
Among them are Dustin Johnson and
J.B. Holmes, both of whom won in their
rookie season.
The change in earning cards begins in
2013. The fall events will be the start of
the new season in October 2013. Still to
be determined is whether those tourna-
ments will offer the same number of Fe-
dEx Cup points as tournaments held
from January until the FedEx Cup play-
offs begin in August.
Not awardingsimilar points couldbea
problem.
Golf World magazine, in a story for its
digital edition Monday, obtained a letter
from the Frys.com Open in which it ex-
pressed concern about continuing our
sponsorship if the fall events are only
given half the points.
Frys has the greatest potential of a
large purse and is geared toward being a
big event.
Finchem said offering full points for
every tournament remains a possibility.
It was one of the details still to be dis-
cussed, and he said he would go back to
the 16-member Player Advisory Council
for comments.

Marquette vs. Florida. The Ga-
tors can shoot, particularly from
the 3-point arc. The Golden Ea-
gles are tough and like to play de-
fense. Another will-inflicting
game.
UNSUNG HEROES
We know the stars, the big
names who get all the attention.
But just below the marquee are a
handful of under-the-radar play-
ers who are there to support the
headliner, sometimes even steal
the show.
Heres a fewwho have grabbed
the spotlight so far:
Brady Heslip, Baylor. Hes
open as soon as he crosses mid-
court and has killed teams that
collapse on Baylors big front line
in the NCAAtournament. In case
you didnt see it, he hit a 10th 3-
pointer on the way to the locker
room after demolishing Colora-
do on Saturday.
Marquis Teague, Kentucky.
Once considered Kentuckys lone
weak spot, the freshman had 24
points, seven assists and four re-
bounds against Colorado.
Jeff Withey, Kansas. Thomas
Robinson and Tyshawn Taylor
make the Jayhawks go. Withey
becoming more assertive helped
take them to the regional semis.
Aaron Craft, Ohio State. The
Buckeyes point guard can score
and has great court vision. His
biggest contribution could be de-
fense; he can take an opposing
guard completely out of a game.
Russ Smith, Louisville. The
Cardinals guard can be a differ-
ence-maker and was against New
Mexico, scoring 17 points. He
disappeared a few times this sea-
son, which Louisville cant afford
at this point.

HEADING EAST
Theinitial 68-teambracket had
teams from all over the west,
from Arizona and UNLV to Gon-
zaga and St. Marys.
Now, theyre all gone.
Not a single team from the
western half of the United States
reached the regionals this year,
leaving Baylor, in heart-of-Texas
Waco, as the last stop in the
bracket.
Thats 11 states, no teams. Yet
Ohio put a record four teams
through to the round of 16: Ohio
State, Xavier, Cincinnati and
Ohio.
STUDENTS OF THE GAME
Four of the teams in the round
of 16 have coaches who never
played college hoops and came
through the ranks as student
managers.
Tom Crean, Indiana. Didnt
play at Central Michigan and got
his start as a graduate manager at
Michigan State before going on
to head coaching jobs at Mar-
quette and with the Hoosiers.
Mick Cronin, Cincinnati. After
coaching a local high school
while completing his undergrad-
uate degree, he got his first col-
lege coaching job as a video coor-
dinator for the Bearcats in 1996-
97.
Buzz Williams, Marquette. Be-
fore he became Marquettes head
coach, the Buzzsaw served as a
student assistant at Navarro Col-
lege in Corsicana, Texas, under
Juco Hall of Famer Lewis Orr.
Scott Drew, Baylor. Started his
career as a student assistant at
Butler and later moved on to Val-
paraiso, whereheearnedhis mas-
ters degree while working for his
father, Homer, the Crusaders
head coach at the time.
MONUMENTAL MOMENTS
The remaining teams have ac-
counted for some of the greatest
moments in NCAA tournament
history. Heres a few:
North Carolina State, 1983.
Coach Jim Valvano running
around looking for someone to
hug after Lorenzo Charles put-
back is an all-timer.
Kansas, 2008. Marios Mira-
cle Mario Chalmers tying 3-
pointer still draws cheers like
Kansas won the title all over
again during the pregame video
at Allen Fieldhouse.
Michigan State, 1979. Magic
vs. Bird. Nuff said.
North Carolina, 1982. Fresh-
man Michael Jordan hits the win-
ning jumper against George-
town, becomes one of basket-
balls or any sports greatest
icons.
Indiana, 1987. Keith Smart
pulls a Jordan to beat Syracuse.
Now, the question is will there be
any moments as memorable as
those when the tournament re-
sumes Thursday?

mined Golden Bears, the Irish
started the second half with a
10-2 run and came up with five
early steals, settingoff the parti-
san crowd at Purcell Pavilion.
TheIrishbuilt theleadto17and
heldonafter Cal cut it tonine as
Novosel made six straight free
throws in the final minute.
Cal (25-10) got 17 points from
Layshia Clarendon and 15 from
Reshanda Gray. But the Golden
Bears were hurt by 19 turn-
overs, 12 in the second half.
Novosel, who had 17 points
by half, shot just 5-for-18 from
the field but made the most of
her frequent trips to the line.
Notre Dame finished 26-for-33
fromthe line to only 7-for-14 for
Cal in the rough and physical
game.
It is Notre Dames 10th trip to
the roundof 16 inthe last 16 sea-
sons under coach Muffet
McGraw.
Notre Dame came out with a
quick 8-2 run in the first two
minutes of the second half as
Diggins scored four points and
Kayla McBride hit a layup after
making a steal. After a timeout,
McBride made another steal
andBrittanyMallorydrovefor a
lefty layup and a 41-33 lead.
The Irish came up with five
steals inthefirst four minutes of
the second half as Cal suddenly
had trouble handling the ball
and the crowd at the Purcell Pa-
vilion erupted.
Peters made two free throws
for a10-point lead and the Gold-
enBears stayedclosebecauseof
two clutch jumpers by Claren-
don.
Diggins then went high to tip
a Cal inbounds pass and drove
for a layup to make it a 12-point
lead. AndwhentheNotreDame
star went hard to the basket on
another break attempt, she got
knocked to the floor by Claren-
don.
And after officials reviewed
the video, it was ruleda flagrant
foul. Diggins hit one of two free
throws, Notre Dame retained
possession and McBride hit a 3-
pointer to push the lead to 54-
37 with 12:17 left.
Cal rallied and cut it to nine
points four times, including a fi-
nal time with 25 seconds to go.

DENVER On the day the
Denver Broncos celebrated the
arrival of PeytonManning, all the
action photos of Tim Tebow that
once graced the hallways at the
team facility were gone.
Hows that for a subtle hint?
Though executive John Elway
and coach John Fox wouldnt ex-
actly come out and say it, the Te-
bow era in Denver looks to be all
but over.
At a news conference Tuesday
to introduce Manning, Elway
said hes exploring all his options
for Tebow, the incredibly popular
and polarizing quarterback who
led the Broncos back to the play-
offs last season for the first time
since 2005.
Tim Tebow is a great kid. If I
want someone to marry my
daughter, it would be him, El-
waysaid. But I thinkwiththeop-
portunity to have Peyton Man-
nings services, we hadtotake ad-
vantage of that. Nowthat its hap-
pened, we have to go back and
address Tim and see what the
best situation is for the Denver
Broncos as well as him.
A message was left by The As-
sociated Press for Tebow and his
agent, Jimmy Sexton.
Although disappointed at
Mannings decision to come to
Denver, Tebow took the news in
stride during a phone conversa-
tion with Elway.
Hes said, Well, were talking
about Peyton Manning. I under-
stand exactly what youre do-
ing, Elway explained. He was
very, very positive.
The next step in the process
may be finding a trade partner,
but the Broncos are innohurry to
do so. As for an outright release,
well, the Broncos said no way.
Hes a first-round pick, Bron-
cos general manager Brian Xan-
ders said. Hes just won the divi-
sion, we were 1-4 at the time, hes
got a guaranteed contract. I cant
see that.
Tebows base salaries for the
next few seasons are very cap
friendly: $1.942 million in 2012,
$2.266millionin2013and$2.590
million in 2014.
Teams such as San Francisco,
GreenBayandJacksonvillecould
be in the market for Tebow, at
least as a backup.
Elway: Tebow took news of signing of Manning with class
By PAT GRAHAM
AP Sports Writer
C M Y K
S P O R T S
tochoose Denver over other suitors, the
most serious of which were the Titans
and 49ers: Imseeing himas the leader
of a franchise. I really liked what he had
to say. Everyone knows what kind of
competitor heisasaplayer. I cantell hes
just ascompetitiveinthisnewrole. That
got me excited.
And so, the deal was sealed. Manning
has a five-year, $96 million contract and
plans to retire in Denver. The Broncos,
meanwhile, have some protectioninthe
way the contract was formulated.
Theres no signing bonus. Manning will
get $18 million guaranteed for next sea-
son, but must pass a physical before
each season, starting in 2013, to get
paid.
I dont consider it much of a risk,
knowing Peyton Manning, Elway said.
I asked him, Is there any doubt in your
mind that you cant get back to the Pey-
ton Manning we knowof? And he said,
Theres no doubt in my mind.
It was 14 years ago that Bowlen stood
on the podium in San Diego, lifted the
franchises first Super Bowl trophy and
proclaimed: This ones for John.
But this franchise hasnt been any-
where near what it was since Elway re-
tired a year later with a second title in
tow.
His return to the front office last year
set off a whirlwind of activity that land-
ed the Broncos in the playoffs. But El-
way is in this to win Super Bowls and
hes throwing his hat in with Manning,
the 50,000-yard passer who redefined
the quarterback position through the
2000s, not Tebow who seems most
comfortable carrying and not throwing
the ball.
Tim Tebows a great kid. If I want
someone to marry my daughter, its
him, Elway said. Tim is a great foot-
ball player, but with the opportunity
that presenteditself here, wehadtotake
advantage of that.
He saidnodecisionhas beenmade on
Tebows future, but he seemedtobe pre-
paring the quarterbacks fans to say
goodbye.
Manning, who turns 36 on Saturday,
said he made a quick connection with
Elway, who won his two Super Bowls in
Denver after his 37th birthday. Since
No. 7s retirement, a long string of quar-
terbacks have come to Denver, trying in
vaintoreplace the unreplaceable. If any-
onecanget out of that shadow, Manning
could be the man.
Hes got two trips to the Super Bowl
and one title, 11 Pro Bowls and was the
fastest player to reach 50,000 yards and
4,000 completions.
One other factor in Mannings deci-
sion to play outdoors in the Mile High
City: The nearly $40 million in salary
cap room the Broncos have, putting
them in the mix for quality free agents,
possibly including Mannings former
teammates Jeff Saturday and Dallas
Clark.

bytheSteelers inasalarycapmaneuver.
Ward says he was contacted by several
clubs but never had any formal discus-
sions. He insists there are no hard feel-
ings for his release, understanding that
football is a business. As if to prove the
point, Ward embraced Steelers owner
Art Rooney II after stepping away from
the podium following the announce-
ment.
Thank you(Mr. Rooney) for giving a
small town boy fromForest Park, Ga., a
chance, Ward said.
The former third-round pick out of
Georgia was due to make $4 million
next season, an expensive option for a
player whose role diminished signifi-
cantly in 2011 when he finished with 46
receptions, the fewest since his rookie
season in1998. He embraced his role as
mentor to Pro Bowlers Mike Wallace
and Antonio Brown even though he
knew they were chewing into his play-
ing time.
I know the wideouts are going to be
in great hands, he said. Theyre full of
talent.
And theyre part of an offense that
didnt exist when Ward made his debut
14 years ago. He spent most of his first
three seasons blockingfor runningback
Jerome Bettis, something he did better
than any receiver in the league.
Over time, the Steelers evolved from
the grind-it-out attack that has been the
clubs identity for decades. Wards
breakout season came in 2001 when he
set afranchiserecordwith94receptions
thenobliteratedthat markin2002when
he finished with 112 catches.
He made four straight Pro Bowls
from 2001-2004 and seemed to get bet-
ter as he aged. He was named the Most
Valuable Player of the 2006 Super Bowl
after catching five passes for 123 yards
and a touchdown in Pittsburghs 21-10
victory over Seattle, the franchises first
championship in 26 years. The Steelers
added a second title in 2009 to give
them six, more than any other team in
the league.
Ward hoped to get the Steelers their
seventh Lombardi Trophy but didnt
catch a pass in a 29-23 overtime loss to
Denver in the wild card round of last
years playoffs. Only one pass came his
way, adart downthesidelinebyquarter-
back Ben Roethlisberger during Pitts-
burghs final drive in regulation. Denver
cornerback Champ Bailey swatted the
ball to the ground and Ward walked off
the field and into the unknown.
The former Dancing With the Stars
champion could have a lucrative post-
season career in front of a camera he
workedtheredcarpet duringtheOscars
but hemaintainedafter his releasehe
could still contribute. He still does.
I feel like I have a few more good
years inmeleft, Wardsaid. I wouldlove
nothing more to get back to the Super
Bowl.
He wasnt willing to do it, however,
outside Pittsburgh.
I want to go down as one of the
greats to wear the black-and-gold and
thats how it should end, Ward said.
Ward laughed when asked if he could
go into coaching one day, taking a jab at
coach Mike Tomlin, who isnt sure how
Wards passion would play in the locker
room. One of the most respected play-
ers intheleaguebecauseof his contribu-
tions on and off the field, Ward leaves a
void that will be difficult to fill.
On behalf of the NFL players, I want
congratulate Hines on an extraordinary
career, NFLPA executive director De-
Maurice Smith said. I know he will
continue to be a leader and example to
our men.
Wards already started by urging Wal-
lace to do what he can to remain with
the Steelers.
I told Mike you may get a chance to
go other places but theres not another
place like Pittsburgh, Ward said.
Certainly not for Ward. His No. 86 jer-
sey has long been one of the teams top
sellers, and his blue-collar attitude rang
true to a fan base where hard work is a
way of life.

ant weather of 2012.
There are many storylines
to follow this season. Below
you will find just a few.
TOP TEAMS
Crestwood: The Comets
had a productive campaign in
2011 only dropping four
matches in the conference.
Losing just one key cog from
that team, they could be in
line for a run at district med-
als.
Dallas: Finishing with just
three losses a year ago, the
Mountaineers lost four play-
ers to graduation, but they
always seem to deal with
losses and finish strong the
next year.
Tunkhannock: Coming off a
one-loss season, the Tigers
have a new coach in Jeff
Underwood who also leads
the girls in the fall. They
have most of the key compo-
nents back from last year on
a squad which consists of
four seniors and three juniors.
Wyoming Seminary: The
Blue Knights are the cream
of the crop. They are coming
off a season where they fin-
ished unbeaten in the confer-
ence, won a District 2 Class
2A team title and lost in the
semifinals of the PIAA Cham-
pionships to eventual cham-
pion Holy Ghost Prep. The
team has won back-to-to-back
district titles and several
players return for another run
this season, including the
districts defending singles
and doubles champions.
TOP PLAYERS
Ryan McCarthy, Dallas:
The senior teamed with An-
drew Nakkache last year to
win two matches in the Dis-
trict 2 Class 2A Doubles
Championships. This year, he
is expected to be Dallas No.
1 singles player.
L.J. Sidari, Hazleton Area:
He won a match in the Dis-
trict 2 Class 3A Singles
Championships last season as
a junior. Hes back, now a
senior, anchoring the Cou-
gars squad as the No. 1.
Henry Cornell, Wyoming
Seminary: A junior, he is one
half of the reigning District 2
Class 2A doubles champion
with Harry Parkhurst.
George Parkhurst, Wyoming
Seminary: Now a senior, he
is the defending singles
champion of the District 2
Class 2A Tournament. He
also won a match at the
PIAA Championships last
year.
Harry Parkhurst, Wyoming
Seminary: A senior like his
twin brother, he sat out the
districts singles tournament
last year and entered the
doubles tournament where he
teamed with Henry Cornell
to bring home the district
gold and win a match at
states.
CRACKING UP
Wyoming Areas home
court is supposed to be
across the street from the
entrance to the schools foot-
ball field. But the last two
years the Warriors have not
been able to play at the West
Pittston venue.
The court has been accu-
mulating cracks and has not
been fixed, leaving the team
having to play on the road.
This year, Wyoming Area will
play its home matches at
Pittston Area when the Patri-
ots arent home. If both
teams are slated to be home,
the Warriors will travel to the
team they are facing.
SAVE THE DATE
The tennis postseason is
always the first to get started
in the spring in District 2.
The district events will all be

quet Club. Here are the ex-
pected dates for the events:

inspected at the tech center on
multiple occasions, and it was
at the tech center as late as Ja-
nuary. And the car had not
been altered, Hendrick said.
We even had one of the NAS-
CAR officials make comments
about the car beingcorrect. We
had all that documented.
I think by going piece-by-
piece, date-by-date, you could
see there was no ill intent by
our part. ... Our car was ap-
proved.
Both Knaus and Hendrick
seemed relieved rather than ju-
bilant following Tuesdays rul-
ing. They both said they were
stunned a week ago when a
three-member panel unani-
mously upheld all of NAS-
CARs penalties. That, not
Middlebrooks ruling, was the
most surprising part of the
process.
Still, both maintained the
car never should have been
ruled illegal.
I was pretty shockedinDay-
tona when this happened. We
go through great, great
lengths, and its been years
since weve been in trouble.
Years, Knaus said. Its unfor-
tunate that the perception is
out there that we continue to
bend the rules, because we tru-
ly dont. We go above and be-
yond to be compliant with
what they want.
And I was shocked. I was re-
ally, really shocked. And I was
pretty torn up, because I felt
like we did everything in our
power tobuildthe best race car
we could for the Daytona 500
and take it down there without
any problems.
Middlebrook was not made
available to reporters follow-
ing his decision. Knaus, Hen-
drick nor NASCARspokesman
Kerry Tharp could explain
why the arbitrator left intact
the $100,000 fine.
I amsure the chief appellate
officer has his reasons, Tharp
said. He heard both sides, and
its his prerogative to make
those decisions. Its part of the
process.

Tariffs on China solar
The U.S. Commerce Department has
imposed new import fees on solar
panels made in China, finding that the
Chinese government is improperly
giving subsidies to manufacturers of
the panels there.
The Commerce Department said
Tuesday it has found on a preliminary
basis that Chinese solar panel makers
have received government subsidies of
2.9 percent to 4.73 percent. Therefore
the department said tariffs in the same
proportions will be charged on Chinese
panels imported into the U.S., depend-
ing on which company makes them.
NY Times cuts free reads
A year after it began charging for full
access to its website, The New York
Times is cutting the number of articles
available for free from 20 per month to
10.
The Times says the change takes
effect in April.
The publisher offers three unlimited
access plans, ranging in price from $15
to $35 per month.
The company says it has 454,000
digital subscribers, about double the
number it had nine months ago.
The websites paywall has many
gaps. Readers who follow links in
emails, on Web pages, Facebook and
Twitter can still access individual arti-
cles for free even if they have reached
their limit.
Datsun name revived
Nissan is bringing back the Datsun
three decades after shelving the brand
that helped build its U.S. business. This
time, Nissan hopes the cars will power
its growth in emerging markets.
Datsun debuted in Japan in 1932,
and hit U.S. showrooms over 50 years
ago. It was discontinued globally start-
ing in 1981 to unify the model lineup
under the Nissan brand. Nissan also
makes Infiniti luxury models.
Guilty in mortgage fraud
The chief financial officer of what
had been one of the nations largest
private mortgage companies pleaded
guilty to charges Tuesday for his role in
a $3 billion fraud scheme.
Delton de Armas, 41, of Carrollton,
Tex., was CFO of Florida-based Taylor
Bean and Whitaker up until its collapse
in 2009.
De Armas faces up to 10 years after
pleading in U.S. District Court to con-
spiracy to commit fraud and making
false statements.

WASHINGTON U.S. builders are
bettingthat the housingmarket is finally
on the path back to health.
They requested 5 percent more per-
mits in February to build single-family
homes and apartments in the coming
months. That increased the annual rate
toaseasonallyadjusted717,000permits,
the Commerce Department said Tues-
day.
While thats still half the rate consid-
eredhealthy by most economists, its the
highest since October 2008.
This report is one of the more encou-
ragingnewconstructionreports wehave
seen in the last four years, said Patrick
Newport, an economist with IHS Global
Insight.
Builders have grown more confident
over the past six months after seeing
more people express interest in buying a
home.
The rise in permits suggests builders
see that interest translating into sales
over thenext12months. Thatshowlong
it typically takes to build a home after a
permit is obtained.
Economists cautioned that construc-
tion levels remain depressed and the
housing market has a long way to go be-
fore it is back to full health.
In an indication of that challenge, the
government said builders broke ground
onslightlyfewer homes inFebruary. The
seasonallyadjustedrateof 698,000hous-
ingstartsfell fromJanuarysrevisedlevel
of 706,000, which was the highest since
October 2008.
The key numbers in this report are
the housing permitsnot the starts,
said Newport. The permits are better
measuredthanstarts, areless influenced
by weather and are forward looking.
IanShepherdson, chief U.S. economist
at High Frequency Economics, said he
expects further gains over the next few
months.
Housing will add to growth all year,
and beyond, Shepherdson said.
Amildwinter allowedbuilders tokeep
working in most parts of the country.
And an improving job market has many
slightly more optimistic about home
sales this year.

SAN FRANCISCO When Activ-
ision Blizzard needed new software to
help it field questions from users of its
Call of Duty shooter franchise and
other games, it held a bakeoff between
Oracle and Salesforce.com.
Oracle lost.
Activision, the worlds biggest video-
game maker, wanted applications de-
livered over the Internet and stored in
the cloud, rather than on its own serv-
ers, Activision Chief Information Offi-
cer Robert Schmid said.
Salesforce has really stepped up to
the plate, he said. Immuch more in-
terested in a cloud application than an
on- premises application. I dont want
to do plumbing.
Companies as variedas Bayer, Zynga
andHewlett-Packardalsohaveoptedin
recent months for Salesforce over Ora-
cle, evidence of shifting loyalties in the
$113.8 billion business-applications
market. Some corporations aiming to
cut costs andfindmoreflexibleways to
runoperationsareturningtocloudpro-
viders like Salesforce and Workday
Inc., shunning the kinds of pre-pack-
aged applications made by Oracle that
are installed on machines and carry
multiyear service agreements.
Workday replaced Oracle and SAP
systems at companies including Flex-
tronics International, Kimberly-Clark,
Sun Life Financial and Lenovo Group.
The startup plans to file for an initial
public offering this year that would
raise as much as $500 million.

Responding to the threat, Oracle is
making forays into cloud computing.

WASHINGTON The Supreme
Court unanimously tossed out medi-
cal patent claims for Prometheus Lab-
oratories on Tuesday for a test that
could help doctors set drug doses for
autoimmune diseases like Crohns dis-
ease, a decision that could affect the
burgeoning field of personalized med-
icine.
The justices unanimously agreed
that the patents held by the company
owned by Switzerland-based Nes-
tle were invalid because they were
based on the laws of nature, which are
unpatentable.
The patent in question covers a
blood test that helps doctors deter-
mine the proper dosage for a drug,
thiopurine, to treat gastrointestinal
and non-gastrointestinal autoimmune
illnesses. The patent covers methods
of administering thiopurine to a pa-
tient and then determining the levels
of the drug or the drugs metabolites
whats left after it breaks down in
the body in the patients red blood
cells. That observation is used to ad-
just the amount of medicine needed
for that patient.
The question before us is whether
the claims do significantly more than
simply describe these natural rela-
tions, said Justice Stephen Breyer,
who wrote the opinion. To put the
matter more precisely, do the patent
claims addenoughtotheir statements
of the correlations to allow the proc-
esses they describe to qualify as pat-
ent-eligible processes that apply nat-
ural law? We believe the answer to this
question is no.
The Mayo Clinic formerly used the
Prometheus test, but its doctors an-
nounced in 2004 that they had come
up with their own test and would put
that one on the market. Prometheus
sued to stop Mayo, but a federal judge
invalidated their original patent.
The unanimous decision of the
U.S. Supreme Court will enable physi-
cians and other health care providers
to offer and use tailored diagnostic
tests to benefit patients, said John
Noseworthy, president & chief execu-
tive officer of the Mayo Clinic.

Our tempera-
tures have now
been in the 70s
on six of the
past eight days
and, under a
steadfast ridge
of high pressure,
the next three
days will be in
the 70s as well.
Even 80 degrees
can't be ruled
out for Thursday,
when the record
high is 82. From
Chicago to
Portland, Maine,
this is some of
the warmest
weather possible
for this time of
year. Records are
even being set
this week on
Mount
Washington in
New Hampshire,
with tempera-
tures near 50 at
6,288 feet in ele-
vation. A zone of
low pressure will
arrive this week-
end with cloudy
skies, cooler
temperatures
and showers.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: Showers and thunderstorms will be likely as a storm system moves through
the nations midsection. A few strong to severe storms will be possible from Louisiana into southern
Mississippi. A few afternoon thunderstorms will be possible over portions of the Southeast. A pair of
low pressure systems will result in rain and snow from the Northwest into the northern Rockies.

TASTE S E C T I O N C
timesleader.com
S
o I recently
planted
California
sweet peppers,
jalapenos and
Roma tomatoes
in my garden,
and it got me thinking. My
growing season became a tiny
bit longer when I moved to
Arizona, but that doesnt mean
the great people of NEPA have
to suffer.
Spring is bringing warmer
weather to us all, and we have
to be prepared. That means
plenty of tissues, allergy medica-
tion and a great recipe. I used
fresh ingredients to create this
dish, which you could call a
hybrid sort of chili, ragout or
even stew-like creation. Call it
whatever you would like, and
dont be afraid of the expansive
list of items.
Its so easy even my sister
could make it.
BEEF, TOMATO AND

MUSHROOM RAGOUT
1/2 medium white onion, medi-
um diced
2 jalapeno peppers, sliced
1 green pepper, medium diced
10 Roma tomatoes, quartered
6 cloves garlic, chopped
8 ounces button mushrooms,
cleaned and quartered
1 and 1/2 pounds beef chuck,
medium diced
4 ounces beef broth
14 ounces water
12 ounces Pabst Blue Ribbon
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon coriander
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon sugar
15 ounces cooked black beans
2 ounces cooking oil.
Preheat a large, heavy-bottom
stockpot. The thicker the bottom,
the better the pot will be able to
handle high temperatures and
prolonged cooking times. Add one
ounce of the oil to the pot and
start to sear the beef.
After the meat is browned re-
move from the pot and drain the
excess water and fat. What should
be left on the bottom of the pot is
the building block of flavor, the
glorious fond. The fond is those
caramelized juices from the meat.
They should be dark in color but
not burned. Add the remaining oil,
tomatoes, garlic, peppers, onion
and jalapenos. Saut for about four
minutes or until the ingredients
become aromatic. Add the tomato
paste, cumin, coriander and chili
powder.
Pour in the Pabst (dont drink
any), beef broth and water. Once this
comes to a simmer, add the browned
beef and quartered mushrooms.
Add a pinch of salt, black pepper
and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Bring to a
simmer again and then turn down
until the liquid is just bubbling.
After about 25 minutes, add the
black beans, and we are almost
there. Let cook for about 25 min-
utes more or until the beef is ten-
der enough to eat. It should not fall
apart like stew meat but be very
palatable. Check the seasoning for
your liking. I served this ragout
over egg noodles, probably so my
mother would eat it. It also would
go well over white rice, couscous or
orzo. Garnish with your favorite
fresh chopped herbs and crusty
bread. You will be coming back for
seconds, and Im not talking about
the Pabst.

SCRANTON As part-owners
of Kellys Pub and Eatery in
South Scranton for the past 22
years, Peggy Cosgrove and Kath-
leen Cosgrove Fritch have seen
their share of hot wings.
In a brand-new business ven-
ture separate from Kellys, the
sisters have branched out and
created a hot wing sauce in-
spired by the restaurant thats
ready to use out of the bottle.
We told the bottler that we
wanted the flavor of finished
wing sauce, explained Fritch,
42, of Waverly. When you go to
the grocery store, youre stuck
with Franks Red Hot, and you
have to figure out how to make
it.
Whether you prefer mild, me-
diumor hot sauce, Peggys Wing
Sauce takes the guessworkout of
creating a spicy supper or week-
end treat with a kick.
The first bottles were finished
on Feb. 20 and delivered to all
nine locations of Gerritys Super-
markets on Feb. 24. The 7,200
bottles that retail for $4.98 each
were filled in Pennsylvania and
made using only products grown
in the state, Cosgrove, 41, of-
Scrantons Green Ridge section,
and Fritch said.
A Philadelphia-area food con-
sultant helped guide the sisters
through the process, and a
launch event organized by John
Mackey, Cosgroves neighbor,
took place March 2 at the Radis-
sonLackawanna StationHotel in
Scranton.
While the new hot sauce men-
tions wings directly in the prod-

W
hat is it
about buffalo
sauce that inspires
so much love, particularly in
Northeastern Pennsylvania?
Would you liken the taste of it
hitting your palate to the thrilling
feeling of riding a roller coaster?
Maybe not, but the comparison
actually isnt so crazy.
The taste in buffalo sauce, that
hotness, is duetocapsicum, anele-
ment that makes food hot, chef/
owner of Fire and Ice in Trucks-
ville Gary Edwards said.
Plants have used it as a deter-
rent, for protection. Ironically, this
is also what makes buffalo sauce
attractive and what makes people
want to eat it.
As for makinghis own
sauce, Edwards goes
straight for the spice.
Its about stewing down
peppers, he said. Many buffalo
sauces out there are a sort of higher-
end vinegar, but I tend to stay away from
that. For my own personal use I take a mix of
peppers, like chile, habaneros, some jalape-
nos, and cook those down. Then you can add
whatever you prefer, like onions or garlic.
Buffalo sauce is a natural partner for chick-
en but also can be added to seafood, such as
shrimp, as evidenced by Rodanos buffalo
shrimp wrap, in which the shrimp are cooked
and coated in the same sauce that adorns
wings, buffalo bites and the chicken in a buffa-
lo chicken salad.
Whats become pretty popular is our buffa-
lo chicken soup, Kelly Hughes, kitchen man-
ager at the downtown Wilkes-Barre restau-
rant, said. Its simply chicken soup with wing
sauce and blue cheese added in. We also run a
burger drenched in wing sauce and blue
cheese from time to time.
The Bon-fire is a newer addition to the me-
nu that includes a mound of fries smothered
with either blue or cheddar cheese, buffalo
At Rodanos on the Square in downtown Wilkes-Barre, the Bon-fire is a mound of fries made better when chicken is added and the combi-
nation is drenched in buffalo sauce and blue cheese (or cheddar, if you prefer).

Its like riding a roller coaster. Theres that
fear that you could possibly be hurt, but it
gives you excitement. It makes you feel like
youre a bit in danger, but your body gets
ramped up for it.
Capsicumis a genus of floweringplants that
are cultivated worldwide and used as spices,
vegetables and even medicines. It can be
choppedandrawinsalads, cookedinstir-fries,
roasted on its own, or used as a part of salsas
and sauces.
Edwards, a self-proclaimed spice nut who
loves the hot stuff, is just one local chef who
has usedbuffalo sauce to cover andcoat much
more than wings. One dish he created is buffa-
loandbluecheesesmashedpotatoes. Another
oddball item he has yet to try, but would like
to, is buffalo grilled peaches.
I think the sweetness and smokiness of the
peaches will complement the spiciness of the
buffalo sauce, he explained.

Burkes painting of the Electric
City sign as a means to also
promote Scranton, the different
flavors carry Cosgroves recipes
for hot wing dip, grilled chicken
or grilled shrimp.
Additional recipes and an
online order form are available
at www.peggyswingsauce.com,
where Cosgrove said orders
from as close as Archbald and as
far asCalifornia and Florida have
been placed.
Cosgrove said shes drawn
some additional inspiration for
the hot sauce from students in
her family and consumer-sci-
ence classes at Scranton High
School.
Theyve taught me how to
cook, she said. I have a very
diverse classroom, and theyve
turous with their appetites.
Since July, weve been eating
everything with wing sauce on
it, Fritch said with a laugh.
Weve been cooking stromboli
and shrimp and scallops and pot
stickers. Weve been trying it on
every recipe we could think of.
And even some you might not
think of.
Cosgrove raved about deviled
eggs with an extra bite, turkey
burgers and chicken meatballs,
and believe it or not a Hot
Mess martini made with a little
bit of her sauce.
Taste was important, Fritch
said, and she and Cosgrove
made sure each tier of the hot
sauce had the right amount of
flavor with the appropriate level
of heat.
The mild sauce doesnt have
a lot of heat, but it has that
buffalo flavor. Ive found that
when you go out and have it at a
restaurant, its all buttery,
Fritch said.
The pair also made sure the
bottles were special. While each
label contains a reproduction of
exposed me to all of their hot
sauces and ethnic foods from all
over the world.
She said students are excited
for Miss Coz to enter a new
realm, and its already a hit with
many of them.
The other day, they were
literally taking chips and pour-
ing it on and eating them,
Cosgrove said.
Perseverance pays
Bottling a homemade recipe
for sale to the public isnt a new
idea. So many people talk about
putting their own sauces, soups
and dips on supermarket
shelves, but few reach this
stage. The difference, Cosgrove
said, is the perseverance she and
Fritch shared throughout the
process.
We took this on all on our
own, Cosgrove said. It wasnt
easy. Its a risk, but were willing
to take it, and were excited
about it.
As she continues, Cosgrove
already has aspirations for wider
distribution and some new
products yet to be developed.
Im ready for a new adven-
ture, she said.
PEGGYS GRILLED
BUFFALO SHRIMP
1 lb. large shrimp, peeled and
deveined.
1 cup Peggys Wing Sauce.
1/2 cup Peggys Wing Sauce for
marinating.
Marinate the shrimp in refriger-
ator for two hours or overnight.
Preheat an outdoor grill on high,
and lightly oil the grill grate.
Thread shrimp onto skewers and
discard the marinade. Grill shrimp
on each side, basting frequently,
for approximately two minutes or
until cooked.

Peggys wing sauce can take
guesswork out of buffalo sauce.
bites and sauce.
What else might Hughes
dress up with buffalo sauce?
Anything fried, she said.
Youve got that nice coating
that it can stick to, so anything
with breading.
Sometimes the sauce is most
popular as a dip.
Luigis Pizza in Fairview
Township is just one purveyor
of chicken-wing pizza, a pop-
ular menu item at many local
restaurants. For Luigis,
though, its mainly the sauce
that gets the attention.
People ask for it on or with
different things, Gennaro Ca-
rannante, brother of the Luigi
namesake, said. Weve had
them wanting mild sauce with
their shrimp cocktail. They dip
breaded cauliflower, breaded
mushrooms and french fries in
it. We even have people who or-
der just plain pizza asking for a
side of our mild.
Like peanut butter and jelly,
its very common to see the
words blue cheese next toany
item with buffalo sauce.
If youre pairing foods, buffa-
lo sauce in itself is going to give
you a tangy, spicy feeling on
your tongue, Edwards said.
What complements that is
fatty things, like cheese sauces
and blue cheese. Keep in mind
that a lot of people dont like to
just eat that spiciness. They
want to cool their mouth and
coat their tongue, and those
cheese sauces are the way to
do it.

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: At a re-
cent dinner party the
men and women got
into a debate about
porn. The men said
men love porn be-
cause it shows wom-
en enjoying sex with
abandon. We women protested that
women who behave this way in real
life are labeled sluts by both men
and women. Do men not realize this
makes no sense? If you cant answer
this, maybe your male readers can.
No Fan of Porn
Dear No Fan: I posed your question
to a recognized expert Larry Flynt.
His answer is different than the one
given by the men at the dinner party.
He said that men love porn because
men are aroused by the visual. Then
he added that women are more
turned on by the written word, which
is why romance novels are so popular.
P.S. Women who enjoy sex with
abandon are not necessarily sluts.
Many of them have morals, are hap-
pily married, and find it stimulating
to watch porn with their husbands.
Dear Abby: Im getting married this
summer. I want to send an invitation
to my brother, but I dont want his
live-in girlfriend to come. We used
to be friends until I realized she was
lying to me and using me. Now shes
with my brother, who is 23 years
older than she is, which caused a rift
in my relationship with him.
I know I should be more under-
standing because its my brothers life.
But I find her hospitality fake just
like the smile she puts on. Shes not
welcome at my wedding.
I want my brother there, but Ill feel
terrible if he feels alone. Whats the
best way to handle this? Should I tell
him verbally that only he is invited
and not send an invitation?
Wants a Happy Wedding in
Massachusetts
Dear Wants A Happy Wedding:
Telling your brother with whom you
are no longer close that his live-in
girlfriend isnt welcome at your wed-
ding is sure to go over like a lead
balloon. If you want him to be there,
accept that his girlfriend is part of the
deal. You can bank on the fact that he
would feel alone without her, so plan
on seating them some distance from
you at the reception. It will make her
presence less painful for you.
Dear Abby: My boyfriend, Justin,
and I are in our early 20s. We were
high school sweethearts and we have
a little girl together. Everything was
going well until Justin went to a car
lot to look for a car for his mother. He
came home that day with a new one.
He used the money he told me he was
saving for my engagement ring.
I tried to seem happy and excited
for him, but he knew I was upset and
says Im being ridiculous. At this
rate, with the new car and the insur-
ance for it almost doubled, I dont see
how hell have anything put away for
a ring in the near future.
I have told Justin I dont care about
the price of the ring, its the thought
behind it that counts. Justin still says
he wants to get me an expensive one.
I think hes making excuses so he
wont have to propose to me anytime
soon. What do you think?

you nailed it!
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Dinner party turns into heated debate between the men and women
To receive a collection of Abbys most memo-
rable and most frequently requested po-
ems and essays, send a business-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 Mor-
ris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Its all
about you now. The sun and
Mercury in your sign are rooting
for you to express yourself and
actualize your potential. Family
and friends echo the cosmic
support.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A
seductive character enters your
world. There is something ter-
ribly engaging about this person,
and even though youre not sure
you want to get involved, youll
be magnetically drawn in.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). No one
wants to hear I told you so,
especially when it happens to be
true. Instead, youll offer com-
passion and a second chance,
proving once more that youre a
stellar human being.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Youll
recall important facts and less
useful ones alike. With all the
data swimming in your brain,
focus requires more effort, but
at the same time, youll be more
creative.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You take
your uniqueness for granted. You
probably dont even realize that
you give people the opportunity
to participate in situations they
normally wouldnt be able to.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You
want what you want, and youre
starting to think you might get
it. Knowing the why will bring
you closer to your goal that is
far more important than know-
ing the how.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Youll get
the communication started, fully
aware of the difference between
a conversation and a monologue.
You may have to be the one to
keep the ball bouncing.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Youll
come across intriguing news
from credible sources and will
share it to captivate the interest
of your friends, colleagues and
loved ones. Youll like the level of
attention you command.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
The people in charge can be
demanding. Step back and think.
Youll cleverly find a way around
the obstacles and difficulties
that authority figures present.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You
have the freedom to believe
what you want to believe. Its a
freedom that people have fought
and died for, and youre not
about to take it for granted now.
Youll feel grateful for this.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Meet
with someone you trust to help
keep you on track with a proj-
ect. Lay it out on the table, and
determine together whether
youre trying to take on too
much or too little.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Timing
is everything. With the moon in
your sign, youre in sync with
the cosmic clock. The perfect
moment to act is when youre
thinking about when the perfect
moment to act might be.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (March 21).
Youre so clever. Your intelligent
action will net you a new posi-
tion before April is over. Youll
negotiate an important deal in
May. Your personal life thrives
on shared fun through June and
July. Travel will connect you with
the inspiration you need to begin
a major project in September.
Aquarius and Sagittarius people
adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 30, 2, 55, 29 and 18.
