SCRANTON Blinded by the
desire to help their friends attain
wealth, board members of First
National Community Bancorp
granted millions of dollars in
questionable loans to fellow
bankdirectors andother insiders
who later defaulted, said two at-
torneys whofileda lawsuit onbe-
half of shareholders Wednesday.
The unsound lending practic-
es, which included loans to for-
mer Luzerne County Judge Mi-
chael Conahan, helped fuel sig-
nificant losses at the bank and
cost shareholders more than $50
million, said attorneys Joseph
Solfanelli and Todd OMalley of
the OMalley and Langan law
firm.
The lawsuit seeks to force the
bank to turn over all records re-
lated to loans made to board
members and persons or busi-
nesses relatedtothem, knownas
insider loans by federal regula-
tors.
The suit, filed on behalf of sha-
reholder Lori Gray of Pottstown,
seeks to recover losses the attor-
neys contend were the result of
egregious conduct by board
members, whom they allege
breached their fiduciary duty to
protect the interests of sharehol-
ders by making unsound loans
that led the bank to lose $44.3
million in 2009.
The banks stock fell from
$18.95 in December 2007 to just
$3.85 per share as of Monday.

After two years of planning and
$617,600spent, Luzerne Countys
time clock system still isnt fully
implemented.
The system is designed to im-
prove tracking of hours worked
and time off,
eliminate abuse
and reduce the
manual proc-
essing of pay-
roll.
Most of the
countys rough-
ly1,690employ-
ees are using
the system to
clock in and out
either insert-
ing a finger into
a scanning de-
vice or entering
personal codes
on computers.
However, only one department
the prison receives paychecks
generated from the time clock in-
formation.
Prior boards of commissioners
had been contemplating the time
clock system idea since 2004.
County officials have estimated
the systemwill save an estimated
$1.5 million annually, largely
through the elimination of abuse.
Paychecks for hundreds of em-
ployees in several human service
branches will be based on time
clock data starting Friday, said
county Deputy Budget/Finance
Chief Donna Magni.
A date has not been set for the
paycheck implementation for the
remaining employees, she said.

County Court of Common
Pleas President Judge Thomas
Burke has said judges must re-
serve the right to supervise the
hours and compensation of their
nonunion workers because the
court is an independent branch.

TOULOUSE, France Riot
police set off explosions outside
an apartment building early to-
day in an effort to force the sur-
render of agunmanwhoboasted
of bringing France to its knees
with an al-Qaida-linked terror
spree that killed seven people.
Hundreds of heavily armed
police, some in body armor, sur-
rounded the five-story building
in Toulouse where the 24-year-
old suspect, Mohamed Merah,
had been holed up since the pre-
dawn hours of
Wednesday.
As midnight
approached,
three explo-
sions were
heard and or-
ange flashes lit
up the night
sky near the building. An Interi-
or Ministry official said the sus-
pect hadgonebackonaprevious
pledge to turn himself in and
that police blew up the shutters
outside the apartment window
to pressure him to surrender.
Sporadic blasts and bursts of
gunfire rang out throughout the
night, though officials insisted
no full-out assault was under
way. Its not as simple as that.
We are waiting, the Toulouse
prosecutor, Michel Valet, said.
Authorities said the shooter, a
French citizen of Algerian de-
scent, had been to Afghanistan
and Pakistan, where he claimed
tohavereceivedtrainingfromal-
Qaida.
They said he told negotiators
he killeda rabbi andthree young
children at a Jewish school on
Monday and three French para-
troopers last week to avenge the
deaths of Palestinian children
and to protest the French armys
involvement in Afghanistan, as
well as a government ban last
year on face-covering Islamic
veils.
He has no regrets, except not
having more time to kill more
people and he boasts that he has
brought France to its knees, Pa-
ris Prosecutor Francois Molins
told a news conference.

ers in Europe have long been

BERWICK Officials with the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission
on Wednesday questioned top of-
ficials at the nuclear power plant
near Berwick and addressed con-
cerns fromthe public onplant op-
erations at back-to-back public
meetings.
Because of a series of oper-
ational incidents at the PPL Sus-
quehanna Steam Electric Station
in Salem Township in 2010 and
2011, the NRC ranked the plants
Unit 1 nuclear reactor in the bot-
tom four of 104 reactors nation-
wide.
NRC Branch Chief Paul Krohn
said units 1 and 2 operated safely
last year overall, but Unit 1is one
of three reactors in the nation
grouped in a degraded corner-
stone designation, which neces-
sitated 400 hours of NRC inspec-
tion beyond the thousands of
hours of regular inspection time
last year.
A flooding event that allowed
about 1 million gallons of water
fromthe Susquehanna River into
the turbine building on July 16,
2010, that forced an unplanned
shutdown, led to an NRC finding
of low to moderate safety signif-
icance.That shutdown, com-
bined with three others in a
7,000-hour period of operations
between April 2010 and January
2011, pushed the reactor into the
degraded cornerstone column.

Some Luzerne County Council
members want to know more
about the countys Northeastern
Pennsylvania Hospital and High-
er Education Authority.
The subject came up during
Tuesdays work session because
the authority is asking council to
endorse an authority-associated
loan of up to $42 million for
Wilkes University to build a new
science building.
Countyapproval is requiredbe-
cause the county created the au-
thority, said authority Solicitor
Pete Moses.
Council Chairman JimBobeck
said the approval request was a
surprise because the authority
appeared to be inactive.
Councilman Stephen A. Urban
said county meeting minutes
show the terms of the five board
members expired several years
ago, though that could not be in-
dependently verified.
Thomas J. McGrath Jr., Peter
B. Mailloux, Debra Sharkey, Tho-
mas A. Blaskiewicz and John D.
McCarthy Jr. serve on the board.
However, Sharkey isnt an active
member because she hasnt at-
tended authority meetings in
years.
The11-member county council
appoints authority board mem-
bers under the home rule charter.
We want to know more about
how this authority operates and
discuss filling these expired
board seats, Bobeck said. This
council is not willing to move for-
ward with anything we dont un-
derstand.
Bobeck said council members
also want to ensure the county
isnt accepting any risk by sign-
ing off on the borrowing. He
doesnt believe council members
will be prepared to vote at Tues-
days meeting, which means the
matter may get pushed to the
April 10 agenda.
The authority provides tax-ex-
empt bond status for nonprofit
health care providers and educa-
tional institutions to help them
attract investors, Moses said.
The institutions, in this case
Wilkes, must secure their own fi-
nancing and bond counsel, he
said. The county doesnt provide
any funds or accept liability if a
borrower defaults, said Moses.
Moses and Mailloux said they
welcome the opportunity to edu-
cate council about the authoritys
mission and projects.
Mailloux said authority mem-
bers ensureproposedbonds meet
the legal requirement for tax-ex-
empt status.
We also make sure these are
viable, workable projects that
will be of benefit to the area and
community, Mailloux said.
The financing for the Wilkes
project likely will be less than$42
million, he said. The borrowing
would cover the construction
andequippingof a 70,000-square-
foot science facility that will
serve the universitys biology,
chemistry, environmental engi-
neering and earth sciences de-
partments, authority documents
say.

WILKES-BARRE On the as-
surancefromthepastor it would
be kept up and over complaints
of neighbors worried about ille-
gal dumping, the city zoning
hearing board approved the re-
quest to place a clothing drop-
off shed in Mount Zion Baptist
Churchs parking lot.
During the nearly hour-long
meeting Wednesday afternoon,
the 8-foot-by-8-foot wooden
shed drew more attention than
the plan by Intermetro Industri-
es Corp. to demolish a house
near its offices on North Wash-
ington for a 13-space parking lot
and the locating of Diamond-
tech Inc.s granite cutting and
polishing business in a building
on Gould Lane.
The board approved parking
lot and Diamondtechs propos-
als.
It also granted a 60-day exten-
sion to Mark Coal Street Associ-
ates L.P. to provide additional
information on its proposal to
construct a 10,000-square-foot
building for a restaurant at 410
Wilkes-Barre Township Blvd.
Due to the failure of Sean Fo-
garty to appear at the hearing,
the board denied his request to
locate a fire-and-water-damage
restoration business in the for-
mer Lacy Printing building at
280 S. River St.
The Rev. Michael Brewster
said the shed would be located
in the unpaved lot on the corner
of Hill Street and Park Avenue
and the church has a committee
in place to make sure unwanted
items are not dumped there. In
an agreement with St. Pauly
Textile of Rochester, N.Y., the
company will pick up the cloth-
ing once a week and the church
will receive a monthly payment.
St. Pauly has approximately
525 sheds in New York and
Pennsylvania, with 13 in North-
eastern Pennsylvania, including
at Plains United Methodist
Church in Plains Township, the
Back Mountain Harvest As-
sembly of God in Kingston
Township and the Faith As-
sembly of God in Hazleton.
Neighbor Patti Smith said the
lot was a bad location for the
shed. It think that will be a
dumping ground, she said.
Other neighbors suggested
placing the box in the paved lot
behind the church or at another
church-owned lot at the bottom
of Hill Street.
But Ben DeGeorge, co-owner
of St. Pauly, said the companys
truck could not get into the lot
behindthe churchandthe lower
lot was not an ideal location for
the shed.

tacks by young, Internet-savvy
militants who self-radicalize on-
line since they are harder to find
and track. Still, it was the first
time a radical Islamic motive has
been ascribed to killings in
France in years.
Merah espoused a radical
brand of Islam and had been to
the Afghanistan-Pakistan region
twice and to the Pakistani mili-
tant stronghold of Waziristan for
training, Molins said.
He said the suspect had plans
to kill another soldier, prompting
the police raid.
The standoff began after a po-
lice attempt at around 3 a.m.
Wednesday to detain Merah
erupted into a firefight. Two po-
lice were wounded, triggeringon-
and-off negotiations with the sus-
pect that lasted into the night.
As darkness fell, policecut elec-
tricity and gas to the building,
then quietly closed in to wait out
the suspect.
Authorities were counting on
his great fatigue and weakening,
said Didier Martinez of the SGP
police union, adding the siege
could go on for hours. Street
lights were also cut, making Me-
rah more visible to officers with
night vision goggles in case of an
assault.
The gunmans brother and
mother were detained early
Wednesday. Molins said the 29-
year-old brother, Abdelkader, had
been implicated in a 2007 net-
workthat sent militant fighters to
Iraq, but was never charged.
The siege was part of Frances
biggest manhunt since a wave of
terrorist attacks in the 1990s by
Algerian extremists. The chase
began after Frances worst-ever
school shooting Monday and two
previous attacks on paratroopers
beginning March 11, killings that
have horrified the country and
frozen campaigning for the
French presidential election next
month.
The suspect repeatedly prom-
ised to turn himself in, then halt-
ed negotiations. Cedric Delage,
regional secretary for a police
union, said police were prepared
to stormthe building if he didnot
surrender.
In recent years, French coun-
terterrorism officials have fo-
cused mainly on al-Qaida in the
Islamic Maghreb, the North Afri-
can affiliate of Osama bin Ladens
networkthat has its roots inanin-
surgent groupinAlgeria, aformer
French colony.
Molins saidMerahs first tripto
Afghanistan ended with him be-
ing picked up by Afghan police
who turned him over to the
American Army who put him on
the first plane to France.
He said Merah bragged to au-
thorities that he planned more at-
tacks inside France.
Hehadforeseenother killings,
notably he foresaw another at-
tack this morning, targeting a sol-
dier, Molins said, adding Merah
also planned to attack two police
officers. He claims to have al-
ways acted alone.
An Interior Ministry official,
speaking on condition of ano-
nymity, said Merah had been un-
der surveillance for years for hav-
ing fundamentalist Islamic
views.
During the standoff, police
evacuated the five-story building,
escorting residents out using the
roof and fire truck ladders. The
suspects apartment was on the
groundfloor of the postwar build-
ing, locals said.
French authorities said Merah
threwa Colt .45 handgun used in
each of the three attacks out a
window in exchange for a device
to talk to authorities, but had
more weapons, including an
AK-47 assault rifle. Interior Min-
ister Claude Gueant said other
weapons had been found in his
car.

WILKES-BARRE Most area school
districts could see health insurance pre-
miums climb even higher than a predict-
ed average of 8.7 percent next school
year if things dont go well for the con-
sortium handling their coverage.
The Northeast Pennsylvania School
District Health Trust voted Wednesday
to delay approval of its final budget for
the 2012-13 school year until next
month, advising member districts that
insurance premium increases could
bump up one percentage point more
than initially estimated.
The trust is appealing a Luzerne
County judges order to pay more than
$5 millionto two districts that withdrew
from the consortium in 2007: $2.8 mil-
lion to Dallas and $2.3 million to Pitt-
ston Area.
Both districts contend they paid more
into the trust since its inception in 1999
than employees received in benefits.
The districts successfully sued to get
what they contend is their share of a
large surplus.
At Wednesdays board meeting, co-
chairman Ralph Scoda asked for the de-
lay in passing a budget, noting it may be
necessary to increase premiums a per-
centage point more than set in a prelimi-
nary proposal.
After the meeting, Scoda said the
move was due to uncertainty stemming
fromthe legal battle and fromthe imple-
mentationof newrules under thenation-
al health care reform law.
Districts have already been notified
theycanexpect a rate increase averaging
8.7 percent, Scoda said, froma lowof 8.3
percent at Hanover Area to a high of 10.9
percent at Northwest Area.
The vote to delay a final budget came
during a meeting heavy with financial
news. The annual audit by the account-
ing firm of Bonita and Rainey showed
the trust had taken in about $1.8 million
less last fiscal year than budgeted.
After the meeting Scoda said that was
the result of a decision to waive half-a-
months premium for member districts.
Scoda also said the trust is $1.3 million
ahead of projected revenue this fiscal
year, despite waiving premiums for the
month of November.
Trust board member Nancy Tkatch,
the administrative director of West Side
Career and Technology Center, asked
that employees of the trust consider a
wage freeze for the 2012-13 school year.
Tkatch noted many districts have frozen
wages for administrators and other staff
in the wake of the economic downturn.
The trust only had three full-time em-
ployees, Executive Director Andrew
Marko and two secretaries. Marko, a re-
tired former Superintendent of Wyom-
ing Valley West School District, makes
$93,000 annually. After the meeting he
noted he has not had a pay increase for
two years. Marko did not knowwhat the
contractual raises for the two other em-
ployees will be in 2012-13.

WILKES-BARRE Christine Jensen
promises to be an unbiased voice on
the citys planning commission if she is
appointed.
Ill vote the way I think is appropri-
ate, regardless of how Mayor Leighton
feels about it, Jensen said. I will be
an independent vote who will always
have the best interests of the city at
heart.
Jensen, the citys
former human re-
sources director, is
expected to be named
to the planning com-
mission at tonights
city council meeting.
Council deadlocked
2-2 at its last meeting,
denying Jensens ap-
pointment, but all
five council members
are expected to be in
attendance tonight.
Jensen, who left
City Hall last year to
become the adminis-
trator at Pennsylvania
CareerLink on Union
Street, said when she
retired from her city
position she told May-
or Tom Leighton she
would be available to
volunteer wherever
he felt she could help.
I live here; my kids
go to school here, she said. I want
Wilkes-Barre to be a nice place to live.
Jensen said she did research on serv-
ing on municipal boards and author-
ities and found out most prefer mem-
bers of diverse backgrounds not just
people with specific experience.
Frank Sorick, president of the re-
cently organized Wilkes-Barre City
Taxpayers Association, said he has
nothing against Jensen and feels she
did a good job when she worked for the
city. But he questioned Jensens com-
ments.
Is she doing stand-up comedy
now? Sorick asked with a chuckle. I
mean she sounds like a funny lady.
Sorick said Jensens name should
not be presented a second time. He
said she was voted on and the motion
failed, 2-2. Tony George and Maureen
Lavelle voted against Jensen and Mike
Merritt and George Brown voted for
her. Bill Barrett was absent.
Sorick and activist Linda Urban are
questioning why Jensen is being given
a second chance.
I guess they feel if at first you dont
succeed, try, try again, Sorick said.
Why is council hell bent on getting a
former H.R. director on the planning
commission? What does the mayor
want to shove down our throats now?
Why wont the bobble heads consider
someone with experience in the field?
Barrett was absent from the last
meeting due to an out-of-town medical
emergency. Earlier this week he said
he thinks Jensen would be a great ad-
dition to the planning commission.

WILKES-BARRE-- KatieFallons first
word as a child was bird, so its no sur-
prise the local authors first bookshould
share the same subject.
Released in November, Cerulean
Blues: A Personal Search for a Vanish-
ingSongbird, introduces readers tothe
Cerulean Warbler, a species indigenous
to the eastern United States whose hab-
itat is becoming increasingly threat-
ened by strip mining in its native Appa-
lachian region.
She signed books and spoke Wednes-
day at the Barnes & Noble Wilkes-
Kings Bookstore.
A bird lover for as long as she could
remember, the Dallas Township native
was originally a wildlife and fisheries
science major at Penn State University
before deciding to make the switch to
writing.
I think that writers have a very im-
portant role in communicating scientif-
ic discoveries and scientific research to
the general public in a way thats more
interesting, she said.
Even though she may have changed
concentrations, her passion remained
in wildlife.
I thought, I can still contribute to
conserving wildlife, even if Im not a
professional biologist, she said.
After graduating from Penn State,
Fallon earned her masters in creative
non-fictionwritingat West Virginia Uni-
versity before accepting a teaching job
at Virginia Tech, where she first heard
about the warbler.
Warblers in decline
The U.S. population of the warbler
has been drastically declining since
1966, withthe species losing roughly 80
percent of its entire population in that
time period.
However, since their numbers still re-
maininthe area of 300,000-400,000, the
species fails to warrant protection un-
der federal wildlife codes.
Already an avid bird watcher, she was
captivatedby the plight of the songbird.
I said Wow, thats a great story.
Someone should write a book about
that, she said.
But I never though it would be me.

WILKES-BARRE Luzerne County
has just over a monthtodecide whether
it will accept revenue generated by nat-
ural gas drilling under Act 13, the re-
cently passed impact fee law.
At a special work session Wednesday,
council members heard from county
residents and anti-drilling advocates
who said the council should reject the
funds on principal, sending a message
of opposition to the legislators who
framed the bill.
It comes down to an ethical ques-
tion, said Nancy Dolan of Exeter. If
youre going to adopt this ordinance,
youre going to put an ordinance in
place sayingthat we condone this. It is a
message If you take money for some-
thing, youre sending the
message that we agree
with this.
If enough people,
enough counties in Penn-
sylvania say no, we dis-
agree with this and heres
why, then maybe well get some chang-
es inthis, andthats the process that you
have to take. You have to stand up.
In particular, Dolan and other mem-
bers of the Gas Drilling Awareness Coa-
lition said they oppose the standardiza-
tion of zoning codes under Act 13,
which strips counties and municipal-
ities of local zoning authority over the
major components of gas drilling in-
cluding gas wells, compressor stations
and water impoundments as well as
the fast-tracking of certain permits for
theindustryandtheamount of compen-
sation offered to host counties and mu-
nicipalities through the fee.
Mary Rodriguez of Dallas said the
county and its municipalities can ex-
pect about $45,000 indirect fee revenue
this year, and about $35,000 in the sec-
ondyear for the two test wells that were
drilled and stimulated in the county in
2010 by Encana Natural Gas.
After that thefeewouldbesuspended
because the wells in Fairmount and
Lake townships were shut down before
producing commercial quantities of
gas. The county couldalsoexpect about
$470,000 in funding for distressed
county-owned roads and bridges, but
Rodriguez said there are other sources
of funding for repairing those bridges.
You can expect after 2012 that you
will be getting nothing for those two
wells in Luzerne County, Rodriguez
said. Why are we going to be signing
away our local zoning ordinances if
were not going to be getting any mon-
ey?
Rodriguez and other coalition mem-
bers encouraged council to join about
40 municipalities planning to sue the
state government over parts of the act.

U.S., N. Korea relations dip
T
he United States said Wednesday it
is suspending efforts to recover
remains of thousands of fallen service
members in North Korea, the latest
sign that a recent thaw in relations is
over.
The U.S. was in the process of re-
suming the hunt for remains missing
from the 1950-53 Korean War that had
been on hold since 2005
But North Korea announced plans
last week to launch a satellite into
space by rocket a step the U.S. says
would violate a U.N. ban. That knocked
back recent progress in negotiations on
the Norths nuclear program, and has
jeopardized a Feb. 29 agreement in
which the U.S. was to provide food aid
in exchange for a nuclear freeze.

proposals which include a cease-fire
first by the Syrian government, a daily
two-hour halt to fighting to evacuate
the injured and provide humanitarian

talks.
Russia and China had twice vetoed

Quizzed over NYC photos
Authorities have interviewed at least
13 people since 2005 with ties to Irans
government who were seen taking
pictures of New York City landmarks, a
senior New York Police Department
official said Wednesday.
Police consider these instances to be
pre-operational surveillance, bolstering
their concerns that Iran or its proxy
terrorist group could be prepared to
strike inside the United States, if pro-
voked by escalating tensions.
Mitchell Silber, the NYPDs director
of intelligence analysis, told Congress
that New Yorks international signif-
icance as a terror target and its large
Jewish population make it a likely
place for Iran and Hezbollah to strike.

WASHINGTON Defense Secreta-
ry Leon Panetta says the death penalty
is possible if a U.S. military court finds
anArmy staff sergeant guilty of gunning
down Afghan children and family mem-
bers. But it isnt likely.
History shows that the U.S. military
system is slow to convict Americans,
particularlyservice members, of alleged
war crimes. And when a punishment is
imposed, it can range anywhere from
life in prison all the way down to house
arrest. Other factors can seem to play
more of a role than the crime itself.
In the case of Army Staff Sgt. Robert
Bales, the suspect in the March 11 Kan-
dahar shootings, legal experts say the
38-year-old married father of two young
childrencouldface a lengthy prisonsen-
tence if convicted of the crime, which
has threatened U.S.-Afghan relations.
But on his fourth combat tour and with
a head injury on his record the ser-
geant remembers little about that night,
Bales lawyer says he might well be
shown some leniency by the military ju-
ry, even if convicted.
Political pressure is going to drive
the push for the death penalty. Doesnt
mean theyre going to get it, said Char-
les Gittins, a Virginia-based defense at-
torneywhorepresents servicemembers
and has handled capital cases.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon is disput-
ing claims by Afghans near the villages
where the shootings allegedly occurred
that there had been a roadside bombing
in that vicinity a few days earlier that
wounded U.S. soldiers.
A Pentagon spokesman, Navy Capt.
John Kirby, told reporters that U.S. offi-
cials have no indication that such an at-
tack happened.
He also disputed a claim by villagers
that U.S. troops lined themup against a
wall after the roadside bombing and
told them that they would pay a price
for the attack.
Villagers have saidtheyare convinced
that the March 11 killings were in retal-
iation for the earlier bombing.
Of the long list of alleged U.S. atroc-
ities fromprison massacres in World
War II to the slaughter of civilians at My
Lai in Vietnam relatively few high-
profile war crimes believed to involve
Americans in the past century have re-
sulted in convictions, let alone the
death penalty.
Themilitaryhasnt executedaservice
member since 1961.
Of note is that U.S. service members
as well as contractors supporting
theminwar zones are subject toa dif-
ferent set of rules than civilians when it
comes to capital punishment. Unlike in
the civilian world, the president must
personally agree to the death sentence
of a service member.

all criminal cases are settled
throughpleadeals, has ruledfor the
first time that defendants have a
right to competent advice from a
lawyeronwhethertoacceptanoffer
to plead guilty in exchange for a
lighter sentence.
At aminimum, thecourt said, the
defendant must be told of any for-
mal offers from a prosecutor that
wouldresult ina favorable deal.
The pair of 5-4
decisions hand-
ed down
Wednesday
could have a
broad impact on
thenationscrim-
inal justice sys-
tem because of
the importance
of plea deals.
Ours for the
mostpartisasys-
temof pleas, not
a system of
trials, said Jus-
tice Anthony M.
Kennedy. The
simplereality is that 97percent of
federal convictions and 94 percent
of state convictions result from
guilty pleas, he said.
For that reason, it is crucial, he
said, that the constitutional right to
acompetent lawyerisnot limitedto
trialsalone, but alsototheback-and-
forthof plea deals.
The justices ruled in favor of two
menwhoweresentencedtolengthy
prison terms, but who could have
served less time had they agreed to
pleadeals offeredbytheprosecutor.

volveda repeat drunkendriver who

Fryes rights.

Justice Antonin Scalia sharply
dissented in both cases. Until to-
day, noonehasthought that thereis

gain, he said, predicting the deci-
sions will lead to endless litigation

WASHINGTON Fresh off a decisive
victory inIllinois, Mitt Romney woncritical
establishment support Wednesdayfromfor-
mer Florida Gov. JebBushandgot newhelp
from former Sen. Bob Dole as he looks to
unite the Republican Party behind his can-
didacy.
Romney said hes almost there after
pursuing the GOP nomination for six years,
and there are fresh signs that big GOP do-
nors and other party figures will follow
Bushs lead.
The son of one president and the brother
of another, Bush had stayed out of the race
for months. Some party elders publicly had
urged him to become a candidate when it
looked like Romney was having trouble
closing the deal. On Wednesday, a day after
Romney won Illinois by12 points, Bush sig-
naled that was no longer the case.
Nowis the time for Republicans to unite
behind Governor Romney and take our
message of fiscal conservatism and job cre-
ation to all voters this fall, Bush said in a
writtenstatement that suggestedthe race is
all but over.
Dole, the former Senate majority leader
and a Romney supporter, suggested that ri-
val Rick Santorum is getting
close to a decision point on
whether to stay in or surren-
der his bid for the nomina-
tion. Dole, who became the
GOP nominee in 1996 on his
third try, said former House Speaker Newt
Gingrich is probably finished, or almost
finished.
Romney hademailedsupporters Tuesday
night that his Illinois win means we are
that much closer to securing the nomina-
tion, uniting our party, and taking on Presi-
dent Obama. He urged the party to fall in
line behind his bid. The former Massachu-
setts governor plannedto spendmuchof to-
day personally courting members of Con-
gress and other officials in Washington.
Still, the front-runners campaign ran into
some trouble Wednesday after a senior ad-
viser compared Romneys policy positions
to an Etch A Sketch toy, suggesting they
could easily change to appeal to more mod-
erate general election voters.
I think you hit a reset button for the fall
campaign. Everything changes, said the
adviser, Eric Fehrnstrom, during an inter-
view on CNN. Its almost like an Etch A
Sketch. You can kind of shake it up and res-
tart all over again.

WILKES-BARRE A Luzerne
County judge has denied the re-
quest of attorneys for an area
businessman to get back a $3.5
million defamation verdict in his
favor.
Attorneys George Croner and
TimothyPolishan, whorepresent
Thomas Joseph Sr., his son and
several of their businesses, said
in court papers filed in January
that a county judges verdict
should have been made in favor
of their clients because they
proved during a non-jury trial in
May that The Citizens Voice
newspaper damaged their repu-
tation.
County Judge Lesa Gelb this
week denied the request for post-
trial relief. No reason for the rul-
ing accompanied the denial.
Croner and Polishan argued in
their January filing that evidence
presented at the trial clearly
showed the Josephs reputations
were damaged and that their
businesses suffered because of
the published articles.
The attorneys askedthat a new
trial be held and damages be
again awarded to the Josephs, all
of whichweredeniedbyGelbthis
week.
In 2006, former county Judge
Mark Ciavarella ruled in favor of
the Josephs. In2009, the state Su-
perior Court overturned the ver-
dict, sending it back to county
court. Last December, former
county Judge Joseph Van Jura
ruled in favor of the newspaper.
Josephandhis son, Thomas Jo-
seph Jr., filed suit against the
newspaper in 2002, claiming
their reputations were damaged
by a series of articles publishedin
2001. The men said the articles,
which cited anonymous sources,
falsely alleged Joseph was under
investigation for utilizing two of
his businesses to launder money
for reputed local mobster Wil-
liam Billy DElia and others.
Van Juras decision announced
in December came from testimo-
ny heard during a non-jury trial
held last May. In his ruling, the
judge did not directly address the
issue of whether the articles con-
tainedfalse information. The ver-
dict was based on Van Juras de-
termination that Joseph and his
son did not suffer any financial or
other harm as a result of the arti-
cles..
A secretary who answered the
phone at Croners office Tuesday
said the attorney could not be re-
ached for comment as he is out of
the office this week.
Polishan did not return a mess-
age seeking comment Tuesday.
Judge rules in favor of paper
Thomas Joseph Sr. and his son
had argued The Citizens Voice
damaged their reputation.

WILKES-BARRE There are thou-
sands of personal video diaries posted
on Youtube.com from people suffering
mental illness.
Two were shown during a seminar
Wednesday to help the 130 police offi-
cers, firefighters, paramedics and 911
call-takers anddispatchers inattendance
better understand how to deal with the
mentally ill.
Luzerne-Wyoming Counties Mental-
Health Program sponsored the seminar
in an effort to forma Crisis Intervention
Team in Luzerne County.
The first video showed a man, who
stopped taking medication for bi-polar
disorder, being pursued by police while
ridinga forklift oncity streets. The other
was more dramatic and involved a mans
personal story of suffering bi-polar for
most of his life.
Kelly Petherick, supervisor for Com-
munity Counseling Services Crisis De-
partment, was a featured speaker at the
event, which included the Scranton Po-
lice Departments Crisis Intervention
Teamthat formed in 2009 after a police-
related shooting of a woman with men-
tal illness.
Members of Scrantons crisis teamde-
scribed how to differentiate a mentally
ill patient from a person under the influ-
ence of a controlled substance and how
to de-escalate an emergency situation
with a mentally ill person.
Its an absolute success, Scranton
Police Chief Daniel Duffy said about his
departments CIT. Theres no doubt
about it. If we help one person, then it
was worth it. I hope Luzerne County
buys into CIT as Lackawanna County
has bought into it.
Luzerne County Judge WilliamAmes-
bury, who worked as a mental health
counselor in the 1970s, said he strongly
supports forming a CIT for Luzerne
County first responders.
Police knowwho the problempeople
are, Amesbury said.
Amesbury said locking up mentally ill
people without treatment was a frequent
practice decades ago.
I call that falling through the cracks,
Amesbury said.
He said the introduction of CITin Lu-
zerne County is a goal that needs to be
done.
Petherick reviewed procedures for
committing the mentally ill to a facility
either by voluntary or involuntary
means.
Simply cursing and yelling does not
meet the standard for (committal),
Petherick said. It must be observed be-
havior that constitutes a clear and pre-
sent danger to themselves or others.
Crisis workers get lesson in mental health

DALLAS TWP.
Developer wants to do
a controlled burn
Application of the existing fire
ordinance was a topic at Tues-
day nights meeting of the super-
visors.
Chris Vincelli, Elmcrest Park
developer, said he wanted to
utilize a controlled fire to clear
land within that development,
but he was unsure if this fell
under the exceptions of the
ordinance.
Solicitor Thomas Brennan
said he wanted to consult with
zoning officer Carl Alber before
making a final determination on
the matter.
Supervisor Frank Wagner
cautioned that even if such
controlled fire was approved,
that the fire department was
required to be present to insure
safety.
The supervisors approved a
UGI Energy services contract
for April to March 2013 applied
to all township buildings, which
delineated a lock-in price over
the term of the contract.
The supervisors also ap-
proved a resolution that would
limit the townships responsib-
ility for mail boxes damaged by
township snowplows. Wagner
said, PennDOT doesnt do it,
and neither will we.
The board also discussed at
length two natural gas compres-
sor stations that are scheduled
to be installed within the town-
ship later this year. Supervisors
expressed concern at the in-
creased noise that such installa-
tion would cause.
Tom Doughton, township
engineer, said he would look
into gathering a baseline noise
level at the site of the compres-
sors before they were functional,
so that noise regulations could
be more easily enforced in the
future.
The board also noted that
attorney Gregory Szallar, repre-
senting Acacia Services LLC,
requested a postponement of a
hearing for approval of an inter-
municipal transfer of a liquor
license and that the rescheduled
hearing would convene Tuesday,
April 3 at 7 p.m.

HARVEYS LAKE
Hearing on floodplain
management delayed
The public hearing that was
to be held to consider an ordi-
nance to repeal and replace the
current Article 12 Floodplain
Management with a new Article
12 Floodplain Management has
been delayed, it was announced
at Tuesdays council meeting.
The delay is because of the
state Department of Environ-
mental Protection changing
some of its regulations. Council
is waiting to see what the new
regulations are and to modify
the plan, if necessary.
Also, Fred Lubnow, of Prince-
ton Hydro, said that of the
phone calls that he received
about proposed floating wetland
islands, there is an almost even
division about their placement.
About half do not want the
islands on their property, and
the other half is requesting
them.
The islands, made from recy-
cled plastic, will help to remove
phosphorous to cut down on
algae. The islands also would
enhance fishing in the area and
aid in native vegetation growth.
In another matter, resident
Carol Culver said that on April
28, from10 a.m. to 4 p.m., there
will be a meeting at The Quality
Inn, 880 Kidder St., Wilkes-
Barre, to clarify what the act
amending the states natural gas
and oil law, HR1950, really
entails. Registration is 9:30-10
a.m.
There will be an Easter Egg
Hunt on March 31, with a rain
date of April 7 at the Little
League Field. The hunt is open
to children up to 12 years of age.

LARKSVILLE
Reilly hired as new
full-time police officer
Borough council Tuesday
night welcomed Shawn Reilly as
a full-time officer.
Reilly was named after an
executive session. He was
among three candidates for the
job.
Reilly has worked part-time
for the borough for two years
and was one of six part-time
officers. He is to begin his new
post April 1.
Larksville employs four full-
time officers and one detective.
In another matter, two resi-
dents raised concerns about rain
runoff that regularly floods their
properties.
Gene Eyerman of Luzerne
Avenue said he had lived in his
home for years and only after
the street was paved last year
has rain water been collecting
on his front yard in increasing
amounts.
Council President Joseph
Romanoskey said Luzerne Ave-
nue is a state-paved roadway
and the borough is not respon-
sible for its design. He told
Eyerman that he would help
him with information for the
responsible state officials.
Also affected by the redirect-
ed water, Virginia Midkiff, who
lives across the street from
Eyerman, said that even small
storms leave a foot of water in
her garage and, last spring when
heavy rains flooded the Susque-
hanna, 6 feet of water filled her
garage.
She said, though she has
always had problems with wa-
ter, they worsened after the
street was repaved.
Midkiff was also concerned
about the neighbor behind her
home. She said the neighbor is
building a makeshift dam to
keep the water off his own prop-
erty, but causing it to back up
on to hers.
Romanoskey said changing
the ground to redirect water is
not permitted and Public Works
Director Kevin Fulton agreed,
saying he would look into the
construction.
Midkiff said other residents
nearby have had similar prob-
lems with water from the street.

M
argaret (Margie) Gail
McCutcheon Chaya, formerly
of Berwick and resident of Blakes-
lee, passed away on Friday, March
16, 2012, of complications of breast
cancer. She was 55.
Margie was a mother, beloved
wife, daughter, businesswoman and
tireless volunteer for cancer pa-
tients and survivors.
She and her husband, Rob Chaya,
operated Pocono Transcrete.
She was active in many charities,
both public and private, and was re-
garded by many as one of the most
selfless and giving people they had
ever known. She never wanted rec-
ognition for her numerous good
works, believing in the selflessness
of giving without any thought of ac-
knowledgement or praise.
Growing up in Berwick, she was
one of six children of Elorient and
Edward McCutcheon of North Mar-
ket Street.
She graduated from Berwick
High School in1974, where she was
a cheerleader and participated in
many school activities. Following
graduation she moved to Blakeslee,
where she joined her husband in
running Pocono Transcrete.
She and Rob were married for 35
years, and have three children,
Christopher Chaya of San Francis-
co, Calif.; Jonathan Chaya of Arizo-
na, and Gregory Chaya of Blakeslee.
In addition, Margie was an ac-
complished quilter, an inspired
cook and gifted in many crafts.
Her lifes passion, however, was
in giving back. She reached out to
friends and strangers, to anyone in
need. The lives she touched were
made better. By her example, she in-
spired people.
She is survived by her husband,
Rob Chaya; children, Chris, Jonath-
an and Gregory; mother, Elorient
Jane McCutcheon; brothers and sis-
ters David McCutcheon of Orwigs-
bug, Linda McCutcheon of New
York City, James McCutcheon of
Shoemakersville, and Jan McCutch-
eon of Englewood, N.J.
She was preceded in death by her
father, Edward Jay McCutcheon
(2001); and her brother Garry
(2005).
Amemorial service will be held
on Saturday from 1 to 3 p.m. in the
East Mountain Inn, 2400 East End
Blvd., Wilkes-Barre, celebrating
Margies extraordinary life.

quests donations be made to The

HAZLETON -- An increase
in the issuance of parking tick-
ets was the subject of heated
discussion at Wednesday
nights meeting of city council.
Citizens who had recently
been issued parking tickets
voiced concerns about why the
tickets were suddenly issued
for infractions that had been
disregarded for 30 years.
This has affected the qual-
ity of my life, said Anthony
Banavage of Kiefer Avenue. He
said that current enforcement
of parking regulations have in-
creased foot traffic near the
front windows of his home
making him feel unsafe.
Judy Yurcha of Locust Street
said she was ticketed for off
street parking. She said park-
ing off street is necessary to
ensure the safe flow of traffic
on that street.
Yurcha said her mother, who
is disabled, also lives in the ar-
ea and would find it difficult to
comply with the newly en-
forced parking laws.
City Police Chief Frank
DeAndrea defended the tick-
ets and the officers who issued
them.
But council was sympathetic
to the citizens who received
the unaccustomed tickets.
Wouldnt it have been bet-
ter simply to issue warnings
first? asked Council Vice
President Karin Cabell.
DeAndrea said he hoped his
tenure on the force would re-
flect an aggressive enforce-
ment of city laws. He empha-
sized that his first nine days on
the force included such crimes
as sexual assault, an abduction
of a minor and shots fired.
Councilman Jack Mundie
said he credited the force for
their good work, but he still
felt the parking ticket matter
needed to be resolved.
Mundie said he believed that
some of the tickets should be
voided.
I apologize to the residents
of Hazleton City, Mundie
said.
Cabell reminded residents
they had a right to appeal the
tickets at the magisterial level.
In another matter, council
passed an ordinance increas-
ing the collection period for
parking tickets. Residents will
now have 10 rather than five
days to pay the tickets before
any additional fee is attached.
Councilwoman Jean Mope
suggested council advertise
current city ordinances in the
paper to ensure residents were
fully informed.

The next meeting of city council
will take place April 4 at 5:30 p.m.

PITTSTON The city council
discussed infrastructure im-
provements during Wednesday
nights regular monthly council
meeting.
Council unanimously voted to
restrict parking on Kennedy Bou-
levard. The ordinance will take
effect if a second reading is
passed by council at the April
meeting.
The city will also install pedes-
triancrossingpoints indicatedby
flashing yellowlights in the com-
ing months. Police have been
monitoring the street to reduce
speeding in recent weeks.
City Manager Joseph Mosko-
vitz said the traffic improve-
ments on the street are part of
larger ambitions for the area.
Condominiums are expected to
be constructedinanempty lot on
the 300 block of Kennedy Boule-
vard between Coopers Restau-
rant and the B&G Beverage beer
distributor.
The council also voted on an
ordinance to restrict parking in
the area of the Convenient Mar-
ket at the intersectionof Pine and
North Main streets.
Also on Wednesday, the city
ratified a newthree-year contract
with the Food and Commercial
Workers Union, representing the
citys clerical workers. The union
also represents the citys Depart-
ment of Public works employees,
whose contract is currently inthe
negotiation phase.
Under the new agreement,
which is retroactive to Jan. 1, the
citys clerical workers will earn 3
percent wage increases annually.
They will also, for the first time,
begin contributing to their own
health care costs. Employees will
begin contributing 2.5 percent
this year, but will ultimately be
contributing 5 percent by the
time the contract ends in 2014.
In other business, the council
and mayor unanimously voted to
donate $10,000 from the citys
general fund to the Greater Pitt-
ston Ambulance and Rescue Ser-
vice todefraythe costs of workers
compensation insurance.
The service is a nonprofit
group and its workers are not city
employees. The donation is not a
regular one, rather it is a re-
sponse to a special request made
by the group.

HANOVER TWP. A man ac-
cused of breaking into a Marion
Terrace apartment and stabbing
his girlfriend multiple times was
arraigned Wednesday on aggra-
vated assault charges.
Township police and the Lu-
zerne County Detective Bureau
charged Joseph Dunaj, 27, with
two counts of aggravated as-
sault, and one count each with
burglary, simple assault, crimi-
nal trespass, criminal mischief
and harassment. He was ar-
raignedby District Judge Joseph
Halesey and jailed at the Lu-
zerneCountyCorrectional Facil-
ity for lack of $75,000 bail.
Authorities allege Dunaj
forced his way into 1601 Mark
Drive and stabbed Lisa Scoffone
multiple times inthe chest, neck
and face on March 6.
Scoffone suffered life-threat-
ening injuries and underwent
several surgeries at Geisinger
Wyoming Valley Medical Center
in Plains Township.
Authorities waited two weeks
to charge Dunaj to determine
the outcome of Scoffones recov-
ery.
Dunaj was arrested by police
outside the apartment after he
allegedly stabbed Scoffone. He
had been jailed since his arrest
on a probation violation on a
criminal mischief conviction
when he smashed a window at
Scoffones apartment onNov. 20,
2010, accordingtocourt records.
Court records say a county
judge granted a protection-from-
abuse order for Scoffone against
Dunaj in January 2010 that he vi-
olated seven times.
A preliminary hearing is
scheduled on April 17 before Ha-
lesey.

The former controller of the
Pennsylvania House Democratic
Caucus is suing former House
Majority Leader Todd Eachus
and seven caucus members over
her termination, alleging she was
fired in retaliation for her cooper-
ation with the Bonusgate probe.
Mary Ann OLeary, controller
for the caucus from 1999 until
March of 2010, says in a federal
lawsuit filedMarch7 that she tes-
tified14 times before a grand jury
investigating the scandal that in-
volvedthe use of public money to
pay legislative staff to perform
campaign work. It resulted in the
guilty plea or conviction of for-
mer House Speakers Jon Perzel
and Bill DeWeese as well as other
elected officials and their staff
members.
Eachus, who represented
southern Luzerne County in the
state House from1997 until 2010,
was never charged in connection
with Bonusgate.
OLeary alleges in the suit that
shewasfiredonMarch24, 2010in
retaliation for testifying before a
grandjury andfor statements she
made to investigators inher testi-
mony, a viola-
tion of her First
Amendment
right to free
speech. Eachus
had ultimate
supervisory au-
thority over
OLeary and
personally authorized her termi-
nation, the suit further alleges.
She is seeking damages for lost
wages and benefits as well as
compensatory and punitive dam-
ages and attorneys fees.
ReachedbyphoneTuesday, Ea-
chus said he had no comment on
the lawsuit.
In addition to Eachus, the suit
also names as defendants: Nora
Winkelman, the Democratic Cau-
cus chief legal council; Zane
Phoenix and Laura Kuller, both
named as chiefs of staff for Ea-
chus; April Rissinger, operative
division director for the caucus;
Susan Schwab, chief of staff for
Rep. Frank Dermody, D-Alleghe-
ny County; Patti Lees, caucus ad-
ministrative officer andOLearys
direct supervisor; and Louise
Reeves, caucus human resources
director, as well as the caucus in
total.
The suit alleges the seven
Democratic Caucus members
collectively made the decision to
fire OLeary.

LANCASTER An 11-year-
old central Pennsylvania mid-
dle-school student is suing her
district over a random drug
testing policy required for her
participation in choir and other
activities.
The American Civil Liberties
Union of Pennsylvania said
Wednesday it filed the lawsuit
against the Solanco School Dis-
trict on behalf of the Swift Mid-
dle School sixth-grader and her
parents.
The lawsuit argues the policy
violates privacy rights under
the state constitution and seeks
to have a county judge prevent
the district from enforcing it.
The policy singles out only
students who are involved in
school activities and parking
privileges without tying that
participation to an increased
risk of danger from drug use, or
to a greater likelihood of drug
use, the lawsuit said.
District spokesman Keith
Kaufman said school officials
did not have enough informa-
tion about the lawsuit to com-
ment.

Teeners League official
will be greatly missed
O
n March 7, Teeners League Baseball
lost one of its true gentlemen, Marty
Devaney.
Marty was an officer in South Wilkes-
Barre Teeners League and also a longtime
coach. Marty followed in the footsteps of
his father (Big Ed Devaney). Marty was
a soft-spoken man whose primary concern
was for the young people of South Wilkes-
Barre. He was more concerned with how
they conducted themselves, not with win-
ning by any means.
Marty also was a man of enormous faith.
Someone asked him if he was angry at God
because of his illness. Martys response
was no. He said God had a job for him in
heaven.
To his wife, Annette, and his daughter,
Amy: Your husband and father was a good
man. Teeners League Baseball was a bet-
ter organization, as was the community,
because of Marty Devaney.
The funeral home was packed for Mar-
tys memorial service. To see so many
friends of Marty is a true testament to the
man.
Marty is physically gone, but his memo-
ry will live on in all the people whose lives
he touched. Marty fought the good fight.
Now he can rest in peace.

A
fter reading the recent article about
the sentencing of Wilkes-Barre resi-
dent Jerome Sharr, who was ordered
to serve nine to 19 years in prison for bur-

to say this:
We are aware of the increased crime in
this area, usually fueled by drug activity.
Does this mean all of these criminals are
good people?
Mr. Sharr has an arms length record of
crime. Attorney Mark Bufalino, good peo-

AFTER NOTCHING victo-
ries in Alabama and Mis-
sissippi last week, Rick
Santorum is certain to still
be a viable presidential
candidate when the pri-
mary process reaches
Pennsylvania on April 24.
And hes more likely to return home a
fortunate son than be welcomed back as a
prodigal one. Changes in the common-
wealth since his decisive loss to Bob Casey
in 2006 favor his primary prospects but
dont bode as well for a possible general-
election race against Barack Obama.
A Quinnipiac University poll conducted
earlier this month found Santorum leading
Mitt Romney, 36-22, among Pennsylvania
Republican voters (with Ron Paul earning
12 percent and Newt Gingrich garnering 8
percent) a 27-point jump in support for
Santorum since Quinnipiacs previous sur-
vey in December. In a head-to-head match-
up, he leads Romney, 52-32.
No doubt Santorums unexpected and
sudden success filling the role of the anti-
Romney has rekindled a degree of support
in his home state. But the former U.S. sen-
ators chances here also have been aided by
an exodus of voters many of them the
moderates that decide statewide elections
from the ranks of the GOP.
Consider: Since April 2008, the Penn-
sylvania Republican Party has lost almost
140,000 voters (4.4 percent). State Demo-
crats have dropped nearly 73,000 (1.7 per-
cent). And those classified by the Depart-
ment of State as all other voters Liber-
tarians, Greens, Constitution and other
minor parties have fallen almost 16 per-
cent.
The lone classification to actually gain
voters over the last four years unaffiliated
has swelled by 160,936 registrants (43
percent). Thats what we call independents
in Pennsylvania.
In other words, six years after he lost a
statewide election by 18 points including
a total blowout in the traditionally moder-
ate Philadelphia suburbs Santorum will
compete for votes in a GOP primary better
suited to his strengths: a smaller, more
conservative one.
(Pennsylvania holds closed primaries,
which means that only members of the two
major parties can vote in their respective
primaries. Also worth noting, as longtime
Pennsylvania political analyst Jon Delano
did last week, is that the state GOP elects
convention delegates without actually
knowing which presidential candidate
those delegates support.)
The tight-knit, passionate primary elec-
torate is obviously in Santorums best in-
terests in the short term. But theres also
evidence that the factors working to his
advantage now could come back to bite
him in November.
Though the Quinnipiac poll showed
Santorum in a dead heat with the president
among Pennsylvania independents (42-42),
it also found that nearly half of those voters
(48 percent) have an unfavorable view of
the man who served 16 years in the House
and Senate. Thats in line with a Muhlen-
berg College/Allentown Morning Call
survey taken last month which found that a
majority of Pennsylvania independents 52
percent view Santorum unfavorably.
Yes, Romneys standing in those polls
among moderates and independents is only
marginally better. But that can be attribut-
ed to the Republican Partys persistent tilt
to the right throughout the last decade.
Santorum certainly has sought to force
Romneys hand by furthering that trend in
the current election cycle.
Its a strategy that has kept Santorum
relevant longer than anyone expected
perhaps long enough to make the Keystone
States late April primary relevant.
But it also might explain why no major
statewide Republican leader has endorsed
Santorum, as documented in a report last
week by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazettes Tim
McNulty. That includes Gov. Tom Corbett
and Sen. Pat Toomey, though neither of
them has endorsed anyone yet, and the
men competing to run against Sen. Bob
Casey. The closest Santorum has come to
an establishment embrace is tapping Cor-
bett political adviser Brian Nutt to join his
ranks. The one big-name endorsement so
far, from former Gov. Tom Ridge, went to
Romney.
Some voters in next months Republican
primary might be whipped into frenzies by
a Santorum candidacy. But that doesnt
mean the electorates more moderate ele-
ments will welcome Pennsylvanias former
favored son home with the same zeal in
November.

TARING AT A face re-
flected in the gleaming
surfaceof anewiPad, or
hearing Siris synthe-
sized voice answer questions on
an iPhone, its easy to imagine
that theres something more
than just microchips and wires
inside those smart machines.
There isnt. But scientists en-
vision a day when computing
devices and their software will
not only be as smart as the hu-
mans whodesignedthembut al-
so be able to upgrade them-
selves. Then what happens?
At a recent and somewhat
whimsical panel discussion in
Austin, Texas, a trio of robotics
experts disagreed on whether
events are leading inexorably to
a Hollywood-style battle be-
tween robots and their creators.
But they raised an issue to grap-
plewithtoday: whether humans
should treat their increasingly
lifelike machines humanely.
The relentless advance of
technology is driven largely by
the steadily increasing power of
microprocessors. As that power
increases, so do the capabilities
of the researchers who are push-

In the meantime, all three
panelists agreed, smart ma-
chines pose moral quandaries
that earlier gadgets didnt. Its
not that machines have rights
that must be respected. Its that
theres something corrosive
about abusing a device that
mimicsalivingcreature. Aspan-
elist Daniel Wilson put it, socie-
ty might consider it OK to
smasha toaster but not aninter-
active toy with a synthetic per-
sonality, even if it doesnt really
have feelings. To do otherwise
risks raisinga generationof peo-
ple inured to cruelty.
The downside is that the
more we treat machines as our
friends, the easier it will be for
them to enslave us. But then,
smartphones appear to have
done that already.

OURNALISM IS ALL
about context, so we get
pretty steamed when
people wrongly cite con-
text in an attempt to spin their
way out of an especially stupid
public comment.
Gov. TomCorbett set mouths
agape last week after he was
asked whether women should
be forced to watch fe-
tal images during
pre-abortion ultra-
sounds that would be
mandated by a bill
pending in the Penn-
sylvania Legislature.
According to The
Associated Press, he
replied: I dont know
how you make any-
body watch, OK? Be-
cause youjust have to
close your eyes.
That remark set pro-choicers
ablaze, made news near andfar,
went viral on the Internet. Cor-
betts spokesman, tasked with
the impossible, defended it Fri-
day by claiming the remark was
taken out of context.
Um, no.
It was an off-the-cuff and
therefore from-the-heart an-
swer to an honest question.
The context for Corbett was
women being emotionally op-
pressed and forced to watch an
image of the fetus they intend
to abort. The answer was you
just have to close your eyes.
Simple. Direct. Unbelievable.
Especially when you consid-
er that the legislationmandates
that the ultrasound technician
make a note of whether or not
thewomanwatches. Hows that
for context?
Well give Corbett credit
here comes some more context
for following up his close
your eyes statement with... as
long as (the ultra-
sound) is on the
exterior, not interi-
or, according to
The Patriot-News.
Thats a refer-
ence to the likeli-
hood that most of
the ultrasounds
would be adminis-
tered with a vagi-
nal probe, since
first trimester ab-
dominal ultra-
sounds cannot determine ges-
tational age and other details
required by the legislation. And
the first trimester is when 88
percent of all abortions are per-
formed.
Granted, it was hard to tell
whether Corbett was express-
ing opposition to vaginal ultra-
sounds, in particular. (See,
thats anacknowledgment of in-
sufficient context.)
But its fairly clear from
close your eyes that hes just
fine with reproductive oppres-
sion in general.

says on the environment, Fal-
lon spent more than two years
researching and writing the
book before working with an
agent in 2009 who helped her
refine previous drafts.
Although she had some ini-
tial difficulty finding the right
publisher for the book, Fallon
found her perfect match in
Washington, D.C. publishing
company, Ruka Press.
Ruka specializes in publish-
ing nonfiction with strong envi-
ronmental content.
Life on the road
Since the books release, Fal-
lon has been traveling to do
book signings, lectures and oth-
er promotional events.
However, Fallons passion for
the protection and preservation
of wildlife doesnt end there.
Last year, she and her hus-
band, Jesse, created the Avian
Conservation Center of Appala-
chia, a nonprofit company spe-
cializing in care of injured
birds.
We sponsor scientific re-
search projects, outreach in
public education, and we res-
cue and rehabilitate injured
birds, she said.
Fallon plans to continue pro-
moting her book before return-
ing this summer to Morgan-
town, W.Va., where she will
teach creative writing classes
at West Virginia University.
SAVING
Continued from Page 3A
since late February and have
been bursting the last two
weeks.
And its going to get worse,
Casterline said.
The top-100 list, with Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre in 44th place,
was released this week and is
based on a scientific analysis of
three factors: pollen scores, num-
ber of allergy medications used
by patients and the number of
board-certified allergists in an ar-
ea.
Anywhere on the 100 list can
be a challenging place for people
with spring allergies, said Angel
Waldron, a spokeswoman for the
Asthma and Allergy Foundation
of America. (There is) still no
cure for allergies and you cant
move away from it.
More than 50 million people
suffer fromallergies intheUnited
States, according to the founda-
tion, primarily triggered by tree
pollen.
For three years, the foundation
has rankedKnoxville as the worst
place in the country for spring al-
lergies. Thecityhas beenupto20
degrees warmer than normal the
past few weeks.
Its blooming so early, said
Sam Roberts, a meteorologist
with the National Weather Ser-
vice in Morristown, Tenn. Grass
mowing has started early this
year and stirred things up.
Ranee Randby, community re-
lations director for the Knox
County Health Department, said
Knoxvilles scenic location in the
Tennessee valley contributes to
the problem.
Were surrounded by moun-
tains and whatever gets in here
stays in here. Its like a bowl, she
said. Its a beautiful, green part
of the country, but pollen comes
with that.
Casterline said the Wyoming
Valley has a number of trees
birch, oak, maple, walnut and
hickory that trigger allergies, as
well as grass and other pollen-
producing plants.
Your allergies get worse every
year because you get more sensi-
tive, Casterline said of the areas
thousands of allergy sufferers.
You wont outgrow them and
you wont get rid of them, ever.
Casterline said itchy, red and
watery eyes, sneezing, nasal con-
gestion, sinus pressure, head-
ache, chest tightness and a num-
ber of other symptoms can affect
sufferers and that relief can come
in many forms.
Over the last few months shes
seen an increase in calls, more
newpatients and had patients re-
turn after not being in her office
for years.
It varies from season to sea-
son, year to year, Casterline said
of allergies, known as allergic
rhinitis or hay fever.
Though Casterline warns
thats just a moniker you dont
really have a fever, thats an infec-
tion, and allergies have nothing
to do with hay.
The way allergies affect your
body, Casterline said, relates to
howmuchyouare exposedto the
outdoors, medicines and other
variables.
In her office, Casterline said
anyone seeking relief would re-
viewa thoroughhistory to under-
stand symptoms, howlong a per-
son has had them, severity of the
symptoms and effects of lifestyle.
Treatment can start with an
over-the-counter antihistamine,
but if those medicines arent re-
ducingat least 80 percent of aller-
gy symptoms, further help is
needed, Casterline said.
Stronger medicines combined
with an antihistamine could be a
next step or weekly allergy shots
if a patients symptoms are se-
vere.
Waldron said the foundation
study showed a worse than aver-
age number of allergists in the
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area to
handle the local population of al-
lergy sufferers, and suggested
there may be waiting lists to be
seen by a specialist.
Casterline said she believed
thereis anadequatenumber of al-
lergists in the area, and urged
those who believe they are suffer-
ing from allergies to see a board-
certified allergist.
Weall expect newpatients, es-
pecially during high-pollen
times, Casterline said. Were
not underserved. Thats not a rea-
son to not tend to your allergies.
The Associated Press contrib-
uted to this report.
ALLERGIES
The AAFA recommends simple
steps to address allergies:
Stay inside from10 a.m. to 2
p.m. the time of day when al-
lergies are at their worst.
If you go outside, take your
shoes off at the door when you
get home so you dont track pollen
into the house, and change your
clothes if possible.
Wash your hair at night before
bed. Your hair can act like a mop,
trapping pollen during the day,
making you breathe it in at night.
Opened windows allow for
breezes filled with pollen to enter
your home. Consider using air
conditioning during warm months.
Control dust mites, vacuum
weekly and prevent animal dander.
Allergy suffers can check the local
pollen count at www.pollen.com.
Todays pollen count is posted as
medium to high.
Several Pennsylvania metropolitan
areas appeared on the list:
Philadelphia, 30
Pittsburgh, 33
Allentown, 41
Harrisburg, 61
Lancaster, 75

tions officers and many support
staffers in court branches are
unionized, while judicial staff, ju-
ry room workers and stenogra-
phers are not.
Exemptions criticized
County Controller Walter Grif-
fith has criticized any exemp-
tions, saying every employee
shouldberequiredtoclockinand
out to verify attendance.
County Manager Robert Law-
tonsaidhewill assessanyexemp-
tions and ensure employees
arent unnecessarily clocking in
and out on computers if they are
abletousethereaders. Computer
entry was supposed to be re-
served for ancillary buildings
without readers and workers fre-
quently assigned to work off-site.
Lawton said hes using the sys-
tem to be accountable, though
hes among the salaried employ-
ees who arent eligible for over-
time if they log hours beyond
their shifts.
Implementation is taking time
because employees have11differ-
ent collective bargaining agree-
ments, anonunionpersonnel pol-
icyandothercontractsgoverning
supervisory personnel in human
service divisions, Lawton said.
Also, all employees receive
their paychecks the same day ev-
ery two weeks, but their checks
are based on six different pay pe-
riod intervals, depending on the
department, Lawton said.
Thesheer number of different
possibilities has helped make im-
plementation a challenge be-
cause theres no uniform rule for
all employees, Lawton said.
Prison on board
Prison Assistant Business
Manager Jackie Grimes said all
300-plus workers use the time
clocks, including the warden.
There are three readers at the
main prison in Wilkes-Barre and
oneat thenearbyminimal offend-
ers building.
Prison staffers have worked
through numerous paycheck
glitches, shesaid. Errorsarerecti-
fied in the next paycheck, she
said.
Once bugs are worked out, the
system will be a time-saver,
Grimes said. The system auto-
matically calculates which em-
ployees are entitled to overtime
and blocks workers from receiv-
ingsickorvacationdaysif theyve
already used their allotted leave.
Employees are docked pay if
theyre tardy, and the system is
capable of generating many re-
ports that were cumbersome to
produce manually, she said.
Prior commissioners hired
Chelmsford, Mass.-based Kronos
Inc. in April 2010 to furnish and
install the time-clock system.
The company will be paidanesti-
mated $410,160 and a $45,140 an-
nual maintenance fee.
Kronos has received $296,525
to date, records show.
Another $273,765anda$5,000
monthly fee are being paid to
Minnesota-based ACS Enter-
prise Solutions Inc. to assist in
the conversion and data hosting.
ACS has received $321,076 to
date, accordingtothecontrollers
office.
Lawton: Data helpful
Lawton said the new system
will allow management to ana-
lyze data on workers, both indi-
viduals and countywide.
It will be a very helpful tool to
management in ensuring trans-
parency and accountability in
government operations, he said.
Magni believes the system has
reduced tardiness and early de-
partures.
Before it was fuzzy when
workers came and left with sign-
in sheets, Magni said.
CLOCKS
CLARK VAN ORDEN/THE TIMES LEADER
County employees Jennifer Thomas, at left, and Donna Magni
use the time clock system.
Some of those losses are attri-
buted to a large volume of insider
loans made to directors and/or
their family members, Solfanelli
said.
The most plausible explana-
tion is, in their desire to help
friends, their vision became
blurred and they approved loans
they otherwise would not have
approved, Solfanelli said. If this
was the directors own money
and they desired to help a friend
acquire wealth, I would applaud
them. But they didnt risk their
own money. Seventy percent of
the money they risked belonged
to shareholders.
The badloans include $4.5 mil-
lion in debt guaranteed by Cona-
han, who served on the bank
board until he was indicted on
corruption charges in 2009, and
real estate developer Michael G.
Cestone, who also served on
FNCBs board until 2009.
That money was used by W-
Cat, a corporation owned by Co-
nahan, former Judge Mark Ciava-
rella, attorney Robert Powell and
others, to fund the failed Sanctu-
ary townhouse project in Wright
Township. Cestones construc-
tion company was the builder for
the project.
First National Community
Bancorpis the parent companyof
First National Community Bank
of Dunmore, whichwas oncecon-
trolled by area business magnate
Louis DeNaples.
DeNaples, the former owner of
Mount Airy Casino Resort,
served on the banks board for
decades before stepping down as
chairman in 2008 after he was
charged with perjury for alleged-
ly lying to state officials investi-
gating his suitability to hold a
gaming license. The charge was
later withdrawn, but federal reg-
ulators have barred DeNaples re-
turn to the board. His brother,
Dominick, now chairs the board.
Steve Tokach, president and
CEO of FNCB, did not return a
phone message Thursday seek-
ing comment on the lawsuit.
In a letter to Solfanelli, attor-
neys for the bank said a commit-
tee has been formed to investi-
gate questions raised by the at-
torneys. That committee has not
yet completed its report.
The suit, filed in Lackawanna
County Court, is based partly on
the annual report FNCB, whichis
publicly traded, filed with the Se-
curities and Exchange Commis-
sion in December 2011. The re-
port showed the bank had made
$105.7 million worth of loans to
insiders as of the end of 2009, a
figure that equaled128 percent of
its net assets.
More troubling, Solfanelli said,
is that $8.9 million worth of the
loans FNCB made to insiders are
in default and are uncollectible.
Another $7.5 million in insider
loans have been deemed to be at
high risk for default.
Solfanelli said the amount of
insider loans FNCB made is way
out of line with other banks. He
pointed to First Fidelity Bancorp
of Scranton as an example. That
bankhas just $2.5millioninloans
to insiders, which equates to
about 5 percent of its net worth,
he said.
A banking consultant contact-
ed by The Times Leader con-
curred with Solfanellis assess-
ment.
Stuart Greenberg, a banking
consultant based in Baltimore,
Md., said insider loans typically
should not exceed 20 to 30 per-
cent of a banks net worth.
One hundred plus percent?
Thats way too high, Greenberg
said. It doesnt pass the smell
test.
The lawsuit targets directors
whowereontheboardduringthe
time frames in which the insider
loans were made and the losses
were sustained.
Ina letter to the bank, Solfanel-
li identifiedthose directors as Co-
nahan, Michael G. Cestone, Mi-
chael J. Cestone Jr., Joseph Coc-
cia, Dominick DeNaples, Louis
DeNaples, Joseph Gentile and J.
David Lombardi.
Solfanelli and OMalley said
they dont know yet what role
each director played in causing
theproblems at thebank. That in-
formation will come out as they
obtain documentation, they said.
The attorneys say their investi-
gation into FNCBs banking prac-
tices was spurred by the banks
refusal to provide documents.
The lawsuit asks a judge to order
thebanktoturnover theinforma-
tion.
If the directors are found to
have violated their fiduciary du-
ty, they could be held personally
liable to pay the damages. That
means any monetary award
would come fromthempersonal-
ly, or froman insurance company
that provides them errors and
omissions coverage. It would not
be paid directly by the bank, they
said.
INSIDERS
Terrie Morgan-Besecker, a staff
writer for The Times Leader, may be
reached at 570-970-7179.
The county has until April 23
to file an ordinance adopting the
fee with the Public Utility Com-
mission. If the county does not
enact suchanordinancethisyear,
it will not be eligible to share any
revenue derived from 2011 gas
impact fees, whichinclude direct
impact fee payments, and fund-
ing for county conservation dis-
tricts and distressed roads and
bridges that come fromthe fee.
If the county decides not toim-
pose the fee, townships and bor-
oughs may also override the
countys decision if more than 50
percent of Luzerne County mu-
nicipalities or municipalities rep-
resenting at least 50 percent of
the countys population file their
own impact fee resolutions with
the PUCby June 20.
Regardless of whether the
county adopts the fee, it will still
be subject tothe other provisions
of Act 13, including those con-
cerning zoning, assistant county
solicitor Stephen Menn said.
Council members also said they
oppose many provisions of Act
13, but cannot change the word-
ing of the law.
This is the choir, council
member Rick Williams said. We
agree its bad legislation, but giv-
en the charge to this council
wereseekingreasons tovoteone
way or another, but what weve
had tonight is that the only rea-
sontovoteagainst this is tomake
a statement.
County Planning/Zoning Di-
rector Adrian Merolli called the
zoning portion of the bill abso-
lutelyterrible,but saidthecoun-
ty should adopt the fee because
we have to play the game any-
way, soif wecouldget someextra
moneytohelpthecountyout and
for the conservation district, I
dont see howwe could not.
Council will voteontheimpact
fee ordinance at either its next
meeting March 27, or the follow-
ing meeting April 10, vice chair-
woman Linda Houck said.
At least one council member,
Stephen J. Urban, said he will be
voting against the ordinance.
Im not going to support that
impact fee, Urban said. Im go-
ing to vote no on it, and I amtak-
ing a stand.
IMPACT
During inspections in 2010
and 2011, the NRC also found
three groups of substantial is-
sues centered on problem iden-
tification and resolution, docu-
mentation and procedures, and
human performance error pre-
vention techniques.
Krohn said a six-person NRC
team spent two weeks inspect-
ing the plant in February and
March and found many of the is-
sues had been adequately ad-
dressed. But Pat Finnery, NRC
senior resident inspector at the
plant, said the teamdetermined
sufficient progress had not been
made in some areas.
PPL Chief Nuclear Officer
Timothy Rausch said PPLs
main interest has been finding
the root causes of problems and
addressing them. He said the
company has developed and im-
plemented many procedural
changes, and is in the process of
implementing others.
Were not satisfied with the
performance thats been called
out here. Our goals and our sat-
isfactionrest withexcellence, so
quite a bit of work has been go-
ing on to establish what excel-
lence looks like in the areas that
have been pointed out, Rausch
said.
Plant Manager Jeff Helsel and
other plant officials discussed
specifics on what has been done
to correct problems and im-
prove performance at the plant.
During public comment, Eric
Epstein, president of regional
nuclear watchdog group Three
Mile IslandWatch, askedwheth-
er PPL had a problem of flying
solo, and not communicating
with operators of other nuclear
plants to implement best prac-
tices.
Regarding PPLs degraded
cornerstone designation, Ep-
stein said, How many do-overs
do you get? At some point it
has to stop. What does it take
to shut a plant down? You
guys are extremely tolerant to
the point that I dont knowif you
have a pulse.
Epstein questioned whether
PPL should receive NRC ap-
proval to build and operate a
third reactor, for which it has ap-
plied. Heres a guy thats ina de-
graded cornerstone and youre
going to give him the key to
drive a new nuclear power
plant. It doesnt make a lot of
sense.
Epstein also questioned
whether there was a correlation
between the number of employ-
ees at the plant decreasing over
the last 10 years and problems
increasing. He suggestedimpos-
ing fines for violations and sig-
nificantly increasing the dollar
amounts.
Bill Dean, NRC regional ad-
ministrator, said Epsteins issue
of flying solo was extremely
valid. I think they isolated
themselves from the industry
for a period of time, but he also
believes PPL recognizes that
and is working to improve.
Dean also said the NRC has
found that fines really werent
deterrents for companies mak-
ing millions of dollars and that
bad press is a better deterrent.
You could argue why dont we
elevate the fines into the mil-
lions of dollars. Thats an issue
well above my grade level, he
said.
Helen Natarelli, of Hunlock
Township, said she represents
hundreds of people from the
area who are scaredabout issues
at the plant and its very pres-
ence in their community, given
the potential for a meltdown. I
worry that one of these days,
that sirens going to go off and
were either going to be dead or
filled with radiation.
She asked the NRC to come
in and go over the place with a
fine-tooth comb.
Krohn said that if the NRC
thought PPL was unsafe, we
would take the keys and shut
them down.
Barbara DeRonde, who said
she owns 83 acres of pristine for-
estland adjacent to the site PPL
wants to build a third reactor,
pleaded with the NRCnot to ap-
prove it because of the inherent
problems and complexity relat-
ed to nuclear power. She also
said the ecosystem around the
plant has altered because of
steam releases.

H
e came out of Coughlin High
School with big college dreams,
a kid with so much potential
and a world of opportunity on the
wrestling mat.
It finally all seems so fulfilling to
Justin Accordino.
Because he became an All-American
last week.
It means a lot to me, Accordino
said.
It means more than anyone else can
know.
Because Accordino accomplished his
personal quest as an unknown and
unseeded wrestler for Hofstra who
worked his way into the semifinals of
the NCAA Division I Wrestling Cham-
pionships.
He did it by overcoming more re-
spected opponents who were rated
much higher.
Mostly, the son of Jerry Accordino
and Jo Ann Kittrick did it by beating
the odds.
Accordino seemed a sure bet for
success when he left Coughlin in 2007
with 156 victories, more than anybody
else who ever wrestled in the presti-
gious program. He was a high school
All-American who finished third in the
Pennsylvania state championships.
When he arrived at Hofstra, Accordi-
no red-shirted as a freshman during the
2007-08 season, but posted a 13-8 re-
cord with four pins and a technical fall
while wrestling in tournaments.
By the end of the next season, Accor-
dino was an NCAA qualifier with a
25-13 record. It was his first full season
on a college mat. And it turned out to
be Accordinos last one for a while.
During his first dual match of the
2009-10 season, something popped.
Accordino was wrestling in the
North Carolina State open when he felt
his knee give out. He not only finished,
but won the match.
Time, though, was lost for awhile.
An MRI showed Accordino suffered a
torn anterior cruciate ligament, forcing
him to miss the remainder of his red-
shirt sophomore year.
All through the next summer he
healed, then rehabilitated his gimpy
knee, then worked himself back into
tip-top shape.
Only to have it happen again.
They said it was going to feel
great, Accordino said. I had problems
with it every day.
He spent the whole offseason envi-
sioning the day hed be back wrestling,
but tore the same ACL at the Southern
Scuffle early in the 2010-11 campaign.
Another season lost.
Another summer of trying to come
all the way back.
It was really frustrating for me,
Accordino, 24, of Wilkes-Barre, said. I
went through all the rehab again.
This time, though, the knee held up.
And so did his once-sterling reputa-
tion in the wrestling room.
Accordino finished 29-17 in the 149-
pound weight class during his red-shirt
junior season at Hofstra. He got to the
NCAA tourney and was the only un-
seeded wrestler to reach the semifinals
in 10 weight classes, before dropping a
5-0 decision to Penn States eventual
national champion Frank Molinaro.
But Accordino upset Ivan Lopou-
chanski of Purdue, a No. 12 seed, with
an 8-4 decision in the first round. He
pinned the No. 5 seed, Ian Miller, of
Kent State to get to the quarterfinals.
Then Accordino beat Oklahomas Nick
Lester with a major decision, 11-3, in
the quarterfinals to earn automatic
All-American status.
Thats the match hell cherish.
All the hard work, all the stuff I
went through, that definitely pays off,
Accordino said.
It may not have taken him to the top
of the medal stand. Just the top of the
world once again.

Getting back
to the mat pays
off for standout
The NFL handed down sweeping and
unprecedentedpunishment Wednesday
for bounties paid out on big hits, sus-
pendingNewOrleans Saints coachSean
Payton without pay for next season and
indefinitely banning the teams former
defensive coordinator, Gregg Williams,
who now works for the St. Louis Rams.
Payton is the first head coach sus-
pended by the league
for any reason. He is
accused of trying to
cover up a system of
extra cash payouts
that NFL Commis-
sioner Roger Goodell
called particularly
unusual and egre-
gious and totally unacceptable.
We are all accountable and respon-
sible for player healthandsafetyandthe
integrity of the game. We will not toler-
ate conduct or a culture that under-
mines those priorities, said Goodell,
whose league faces more than 20 con-
cussion-related lawsuits brought by
hundreds of former
players. No one is
above the game or the
rules that govern it.
According to the
league, Payton ig-
nored instructions
from the NFL and
Saints ownership to
make sure bounties werent being paid.
Theleaguealsochastisedhimfor choos-
ing to falsely deny that the programex-

Bountiful penalties handed out
TAMPA, Fla. Curtis Gran-
derson looks around the club-
house and sees superstars all
around him.
Its enough motivation.
On a team that features Alex
Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, Mark
Teixeira and Robinson Cano,
Granderson was the New York
Yankees best hitter last year, lead-
ing the team in
most major cat-
egories, includ-
ing homers (41)
and RBI (119).
That was
quite an accom-
plishment, es-
pecially for a
guy who has
been a leadoff hitter most of his
career and isnt considered a big-
time slugger, like A-Rod or Teixei-
ra. The speedy center fielder had
never hit more than 30 homers or
driven in more than 74 runs in a
single seasonuntil last year. Gran-
derson also led the Yankees in
runs (136), triples (10), slugging
percentage(.552)andOPS(.916).
A true Bronx Bomber, for sure.
What can Granderson do for an
encore on New Yorks grand
stage?
Continue to work and contin-
ue to build off everybody here
thats trying to win champion-
ships, Granderson said. You see
aguylikeDerekJeter whohas five
championships and hes not just
good because hes using his God-
given ability. He won one cham-
pionship and he wasnt content
withthat andhejust kept working
harder and you see that attitude
filtered throughout the organiza-
tion. I came in and tried to be a
part of that. You learn to not be
satisfied with where you are.
The left-handed hitting Gran-
derson is hoping to cut down on
his strikeouts and increase his
walks. Granderson drew a career-
high 85 walks, but he fanned 169
times in2011. Heonlybatted.262,
upfromthe previous twoseasons,
but far below the .280 average he
had over his first five seasons.
Theres always goingtobethat
one at-bat where you are not feel-
ing well and that last at-bat might

BOSTON One plays zone all the

start to finish.
Defense will be the key when top-
seeded Syracuse faces fourth-seeded
Wisconsin in the East Regional semifi-
nals tonight. Its just going to be which
style will prevail.
The final 16 teams always include a
number who have gotten there by play-
ing defense. Wisconsins 52.9 points al-
lowed is the lowest of the teams left in
the tournament and the lowest in Di-
vision I this season while Syracuses
60.5 is fifth-best.
The difference in the defenses is that

less than a minute, Louisville coach Rick
Pitino screams, Stop! shakes his head

position he expected them to be in.

clapping and barking out orders, implor-
ing them to run faster, work harder as
they race around the court.
On the same court about an hour
apart, Pitino and Izzo provided a fewdoz-
en fans at US Airways Center a glimpse
into what its like to play for two of the
most demanding and successful
coaches in college basketball.
Both of them really demand tough-
ness, Michigan State forward Dray-
mond Green said Wednesday. And both
of them are no-nonsense guys who ex-
pect everything to be perfect.

Stingy defenses take the stage
in Orange and Badgers matchup
Wisconsin wants to stop you by playing
a man-to-man defense that has become
well known in a conference known for
defense. The Badgers want to
control the ball and keep the
game with a final score
more suited to the days of
canvas sneakers and short
shorts.
Syracuse, on the other hand,
wants to pick up the pace
through its defense. The Orange, de-
spite playing a 2-3 zone, are third in
the nation with 9.4 steals per game
and when they do get a turnover
they get out and run, averaging

NC STATE
Pack peaking at right time
RALEIGH, N.C. North Carolina
State started the year as the after-
thought behind Duke and North Car-
olina. Not anymore.
The Blue Devils are at home. The
Tar Heels are limping into the NCAA
tournaments round of 16 and facing
uncertainty after a critical injury.
But N.C. State is healthy and surging
into the tournaments second weekend
and looking like the best team at
this moment on Tobacco Road.
Junior Scott Wood said it really is
who gets hot near the end of the year
and the Wolfpack became one of those
teams.
The 11th-seeded Wolfpack (24-12)
faces No. 2 seed Kansas on Friday in
the Midwest Regional in St. Louis. Its
the programs first trip to the round of
16 in seven years and its first NCAA
appearance in six.
KENTUCKY
Jones rebounds loss
LEXINGTON, Ky. Kentucky for-
ward Terrence Jones is playing good
basketball heading into Wildcats re-
match with Indiana.
The sophomore hit a bit of slump
after the subpar performance against
the Hoosiers in December.
Jones was heavily criticized for his
lackluster play after finishing with four
points, one rebound and six turnovers
in the Wildcats 73-72 loss on Dec. 10.
He dislocated his left pinky finger in
Kentuckys next game and was limited
most of the rest of the month as his
freshmen teammates carried Kentucky
back to No. 1.
But Jones is healthy and playing well
again.
Hes averaging 14.4 points and 10.4
rebounds over his last five games and
looks like the playmaker he would be
this season when he was tabbed the
Southeastern Conferences preseason
player of the year.
TELEVISION
Smart, Martin to serve
as guest analysts
NEW YORK VCU coach Shaka
Smart and Kansas States Frank Martin
will serve as guest analysts for NCAA
tournament coverage this week.
CBS and Turner Sports said Wednes-
day that Smart will join the Atlanta
studio group for the regional semifinals
and finals Thursday through Saturday
on CBS and TBS. Smarts Rams were
the darlings of last years tournament,
going from the First Four to the Final
Four after barely making it in as a No.
11 seed. They lost to Indiana in this
seasons third round Saturday.
Reportedly offered the Illinois job,
Smart said Wednesday he was staying
at VCU.
Martin will work with the New York
studio for the regional finals Saturday
and Sunday on CBS. His Wildcats fell
to top-seeded Syracuse, also in the
third round Saturday.
WOMENS TOURNAMENT
Huskies show lighter
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. Connecti-
cuts womens basketball team has been
performing both on the court and off
the court this postseason.
The Huskies, who take on Penn
State Sunday in the NCAA regional
semifinals, have a new music video
parody that can be seen on YouTube.
Its the teams take on Carly Rae Jep-
sons song Call me, Maybe.
The Huskies filmed the spoof over a
two-day span last week as they were
getting ready to play in the NCAA
tournament.
Much of it was taped in a local Wal-
Mart. It was produced and directed by
guard Caroline Doty, and features cen-
ter Stefanie Dolson in a Dalmatian suit
and beehive-style wig.
Doty says shes received emails from
high school coaches who have shown
the video to their teams as an example
of how teams can be serious on the
court, and still have fun off of it.
PHOENIX They hand out the big-
gest trophy the NCAAchampionship
trophy on the first Monday in April,
not the first Monday in March.
No two teams could be happier about
this than Marquette and Florida.
The third-seeded Golden Eagles and
seventh-seeded Gators each came limp-
ing into the NCAA tournament Mar-
quette losing two of three, including its
first Big East tournament game, and
Florida dropping four of five, including
an ugly pair at Georgia and Vanderbilt,
to close out the regular season.
Yet here they are, ready for a meeting
in the West regional semifinals today
Buzz Williams team coming off two
strongfinishes against BYUandMurray
State and Billy Donovans squad still
highoff blowouts over Virginia andNor-
folk State by an average of 30 points.
I think like anything else, when you
win, a lot of times the things that youre
doing not very well get covered up, Do-
novan said. And when you lose, the
things that you do well, no one really
talks about.
In hindsight, maybe Floridas losses
setbacks that certainly bumped its
tournament seeding down a few notch-
es and also made the Gators a popular
candidate for an early upset werent
so bad.
Whenthe coldspell began, the Gators
(25-10) were still adjusting to the loss of
a key reserve, forward Will Yeguete.
They were still trying to help freshman
all-conference guard Bradley Beal get
comfortable taking a primary role in-
stead of deferring, which has worked
hes averaging 14 points, 10 rebounds in
the tournament.
As for the teams they lost to well,
oneof themwas at a prettygoodVander-
bilt team on Senior Day and two were
against Kentucky, the second only a
three-point loss inthe SECtournament.
I saw our team making strides and
getting better, Donovan said. I think
the biggest thing I tried to do was keep
their confidence level high, that they
were doing the right things and this is
the thing we needed to confront and get
better to push us over the hump a little
bit.
You could say it worked.
First, the Gators overcame Virginias
pack-line defense, which was allowing
less than 54 points a game, in a 26-point
win over the Cavaliers. Next, Florida
crushed out one of the tournaments
great (early) stories, going ona 25-0 run
early en route to a 34-point win over
15th-seed Norfolk State, two days after
the Spartans had eliminated Missouri.
Florida became the first teamin tour-
nament history to score 70 or more
points andallow50or less inits first two
games.
I would say we definitely didnt hit
the panic button, but we knew it was
time to buckle down and listen to coach
andhave some great practices before we
got to the NCAA tournament, Florida
guard Erving Walker said. And I think
its definitely paid off for us.
Marquette (27-7) took a similar path
after an 84-71 loss to Louisville in the
Big East tournament a loss not-so-
subtly described by Williams as one in
which the team peed down our leg.
How to respond after that kind of
game, the last before the start of the
NCAAs?
Just wake up and go to work, Wil-
liams said. Were not perfect. Im not
perfect. Our players arent perfect. And
so regardless of the outcome, whether
its win or lose, we still have the same
protocol and the same itinerary the fol-
lowing day, then the next day and the
next day. Just continue to work and try
to improve.
Teams rebounding at right time
Marquette and Florida, stumbling
before tournament, square off in

NorthCarolina is relivinga 28-
year-old nightmare.
In 1984, the Tar Heels began
the year favored to win the na-
tional basketball championship
but their point guard broke
his wrist.
Fast forward to 2012, and
point guard Kendall Marshall
could be out with a broken wrist
when North Carolina meets
OhioFridayintheNCAAtourna-
ments round of 16 in St. Louis.
The Tar Heels were unable to
get it done in1984 with the team
that included future NBA stars
Michael JordanandSamPerkins
even though Smith returned to
the lineup.
North Carolina will see if can
get it done this year witha roster
than includes Harrison Barnes,
John Henson and Tyler Zeller
with Marshalls return uncer-
tain.
Bill Guthridge, an assistant to
retired Hall of Fame coach Dean
Smith from 1967-97, said he im-
mediately thought of Kenny
Smith after Marshalls injury.
Its just tough to lose some-
one so instrumental in the way
youplay, andthats what Kendall
does, said Guthridge, who re-
tired in 2000 after three years as
head coach.
Kenny Smith was a freshman
starter and missed a month after
breaking his left wrist. The 84
team never rediscovered its
dominant form after his return.
Guthridge is hoping it doesnt
end the same way this time.
That happens and hopefully
we can overcome it, Guthridge
said of Marshalls injury. Coach
(Roy) Williams is a great coach
and hell come up with some-
thing and hopefully well work it
out and we can get a win or two
maybe a national champion-
ship, who knows?
Marshall, a lefty, had surgery
to insert a screw into his right
wrist Monday. Williams said the
top-seeded Tar Heels (31-5) are
preparing to play without Mar-
shall in the Midwest Regional
semifinals.
Marshall is the Tar Heels
most irreplaceable player, from
the way he drives Williams fast-
paced offense to the loss of No. 2
ballhandler Dexter Stricklandto
a knee injury in January.
Smith knows his injury pre-
vented the 84 team from being
considered among the games
greats.
Obviously with Michael Jor-
dan, you know who hes become
and who he is, arguably we
couldve probably been one of
thebest teams ever, I think, said
Smith.

teen are from Ohio. Four of those are
among the 16 teams still playing in the
NCAA tournament.
Only one calls itself The Ohio State
University.
The flagship school from the leading
basketball state in the nation in this
tournament, at least will play Cincin-
nati tonight in an East Regional semifi-
nal that is as much a Battle of the Buck-
eye State as it is a chance to move one
game closer to a national title.
What Ive felt all along is its just a
tremendous state for basketball, said
Ohio State coach Thad Matta, who also
coached at Miami of Ohio and Xavier be-
fore taking over the Buckeyes in 2004.
I think a lot of times in the high
school ranks it gets tabbed as a football
state, just all the great players that
theyve put out. But just in the time that
Ive been there ... Ive got a pretty good
understanding of how passionate the
fans are. It takes a lot of luck for four
teams to get here, obviously. I think it
speaks volumes to the level of basketball
in the state.
Although it is bordered by hoops hot-
beds Kentucky (a state with nine NCAA
titles) and Indiana (five), Ohio hasnt re-
ally been considered a basketball state
since placing a team in four straight
championship games from 1960-63.
(Ohio State won the first, then lost the
next two to Cincinnati; the Bearcats re-
turned in 63 and lost to Loyola of Chica-
go.)
Ohio State has won two football cham-
pionships since then, but its appearance
in the basketball title game in 2007 is the
only one for the state since the 60s. Even
gasp! Michigan, with three mens
basketball championship since then, has
more to show from its trips to the NCAA
tournament.
Ohio, everybody knows them as a
football state. But we have a little bit of
basketball talent inside those borders,
said Buckeyes forward Jared Sullinger, a
Columbus native who is one of three
Ohioans among the top four scorers on
the team. Its just finally showing now.
And not just at Ohio State.
Along with the Buckeyes and Bearcats,
Xavier and Ohio have reached the round
of 16 this year, with Xavier set to play
Baylor in the South Regional semis and
Ohio preparing for North Carolina in the
Midwest.
I think the fact that you have four
Ohio teams in the Sweet 16 is a sense of
great pride for our state, Cincinnati
coach Mick Cronin said. In Cincinnati
alone we have two, so its great for our
community. ... Its probably good that
were up here in Boston. We dont have to
worry so much about the ticket requests
for the game.
Cronin said there isnt much of a rival-
ry with Ohio State because Cincinnati is
tucked into the southern corner of the
state, just over the Ohio River from Ken-
tucky. The city as close to Louisville and
Lexington as Columbus, and the Bear-
cats were in Conference USA with the
Cardinals before they both joined the Big
East.

ATHENS, Ohio Walter Luckett ar-
rived in the 70s, made a magazine cover
and created a stir, but left without getting
the Bobcats very far.
Gary Trent morphed into the Shaq of
the MAC in the 90s, taking the program
tonational heights that didnt translate at
tournament time.
Ohio University went 48 years looking
for more than one shining moment in the
NCAA tournament, going through seven
coaches anda handful of stars without ad-
vancing past that opening weekend. Its
finally changed for the school nestled in
the hills of southeast Ohio.
The Bobcats have become the tourna-
ments latest mid-major darlings, knock-
ing off Michigan and South Florida to re-
ach the round of 16 for the first time since
1964. Theyll play North Carolina on Fri-
day in St. Louis.
The long wait has made it sweet in-
deed.
Its very warming, Trent said in a
phone interview from Minneapolis,
where hes an elementary school inter-
vention specialist. Its so great to see
them advance. Theres only 16 teams
playing in the country, and Ohio U. hap-
pens to be one of them.
Even though the school was on spring
break, the students still around campus
jammed Court Street after the 13th-seed-
ed Bobcats ousted Michigan in their
opening game. Then, the Mid-American
Conference tournament champions
topped the Big Easts best defensive team
for another celebration that got more
than just the town talking.
This has been unreal, said Walter Of-
futt, a transfer from Ohio State. Lets
continue the run.
Their win on Sunday became an imme-
diate talking point. Clark Kellogg was
calling the Lehigh-Xavier game when
Ohio finished off the Bulls, giving him a
chance to exult on the air. Kelloggs son,
Nick, is a sophomore guard for the Bob-
cats.
Oh wow! Kellogg said. Oh my good-
ness! Way to go Bobcats!
The postgame celebration was shown
on TBS and got more rave reviews.
School President Roderick J. McDavis,
dressed in a green Ohio jacket, gave play-
ers a pep talk: I told you a fewweeks ago
there was another level!
Now, the school has something to talk
about other than parties and potatoes.
Ohio, which is known regionally for its
annual Halloween party, was ranked the
top party school in the country by the
2011 Princeton Review last summer, an
annoyance to administrators who have
been trying to change that image.

PHILADELPHIA Amare Stoude-
mire had 21 points and nine rebounds
to lead the New York Knicks to their
fifth straight victory, 82-79 over the
Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday
night.
Jeremy Lin scored 18 points and
Carmelo Anthony had 10 to help the
Knicks pull within three games of the
Atlantic Division leaders.
Elton Brand had 12 points and 12
rebounds for the Sixers. Jrue Holiday
scored 16.
The game ended with thousands of
New York fans chanting, Lets go
Knicks! They had reason to celebrate
after Stoudemire hit a pair of big buck-
ets down the stretch to clinch the win.
Each team was backed by a heavy-
weight A-list supporter: Co-owner Will
Smith rooted on the Sixers and Spike
Lee sat adjacent to the Knicks bench.
Bulls 94, Raptors 82
TORONTO John Lucas scored all
13 of his points in the fourth quarter,
Luol Deng had 17 points and 10 re-
bounds, and the Chicago Bulls rallied
to beat the Toronto Raptors.
Kyle Korver also came up big in the
final quarter, scoring all 10 of his points
in the fourth as the Bulls came back
after trailing by 12 early in the second
half.
Magic 103, Suns 93
ORLANDO, Fla. Ryan Anderson
hit seven 3-pointers and scored 29
points, Dwight Howard added 28
points and 16 rebounds, and the Orlan-
do Magic held off the Phoenix Suns.
Orlando led by as many as 22 points
before the Suns surged with under five
minutes to play. But the Magic, who
were 11 for 23 from beyond the arc,
were able to string together enough
baskets down the stretch to hold on to
the victory.
Hawks 103, Cavaliers 102
ATLANTA Joe Johnson hit a tying
3-pointer at the end of regulation and
knocked down a baseline jumper with
10 seconds left in overtime, giving the
Atlanta Hawks a victory over the Cleve-
land Cavaliers.
The Hawks rallied from16 points
down early on and a six-point deficit in
OT, pulling even on Johnsons third
trey of the night and a three-point play
by Josh Smith, who led Atlanta with 32
points and 17 rebounds.
Wizards 108, Nets 89
NEWARK, N.J. Nene had 22
points and 10 rebounds in his Washing-
ton debut, and the Wizards defeated
New Jersey in game marred by the
third-quarter ejections of Nets All-Star
point guard Deron Williams and head
coach Avery Johnson.
Williams and Johnson were tossed
by referee Josh Tiven with 5:18 left in
the third quarter for arguing a non-call
on a Williams drive to the basket sec-
onds earlier. Tiven appeared to call all
four technical fouls, getting Williams
first and then the coach after his best
player was ejected.
Thunder 114, Clippers 91
OKLAHOMA CITY Kevin Durant
had 32 points and nine rebounds, Rus-
sell Westbrook added 19 points and the
Oklahoma City Thunder shut down
Blake Griffin and beat the Los Angeles
Clippers.
Playing in his hometown, Griffin was
held to a career-low seven points in the
rematch of a Clippers victory perhaps
best remembered for his emphatic
dunk over Kendrick Perkins.
Griffin didnt have any dunks in this
one, settling mostly for long jumpers
and hook shots, and went just 3 for 11
from the field.
Warriors 101, Hornets 92
NEW ORLEANS Rookie Klay
Thompson scored a career-high 27
points, David Lee added 25 and the
Golden State Warriors ended a four-
game losing streak with a win over the
New Orleans Hornets.
The Warriors trailed 58-51 midway
through the third quarter before
Thompson sparked a 20-5 run. He hit a
3-pointer and converted a three-point
play to give the Warriors a 60-58 lead.
He also got the assist on Brandon
Rushs wide open 3-pointer that gave
Golden State the lead for good, 63-60.
Lee, who also had 11 rebounds, fin-
ished the spurt with a jumper that
made it 71-63.

The Rangers turned up the

woes. Callahan fired a shot from
the slot for his 27th goal, making

The Saints now must decide
who will coach the team while
Payton is barred, his suspension
is effective April 1, and who will
make roster moves while Loo-
mis is out.
After the NFLmade clear that
punishments were looming,
Payton and Loomis took the
blame for violations that they
acknowledged happened un-
der our watch and said Saints
owner Tom Benson had noth-
ing to do with the bounty pool,
which reached as much as
$50,000 in 2009, the season the
Saints won the Super Bowl.
Saints quarterback Drew
Brees reacted quickly to the
news on Twitter, writing: I am
speechless. Sean Payton is a
great man, coach, and mentor ...
I needto hear anexplanationfor
this punishment.
The NFL said the scheme in-
volved 22 to 27 defensive play-
ers; targeted opponents includ-
ed quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers,
Cam Newton, Brett Favre and
Kurt Warner. Knockouts were
worth $1,500 and cart-offs
$1,000, with payments doubled
or tripled for the playoffs.
According to the league,
Saints defensive captain Jonath-
an Vilma offered $10,000 to any
player who knocked then-Vik-
ings QB Favre out of the 2010
NFC championship game.
All payouts for specific per-
formances in a game, including
interceptions or causing fum-
bles, are against NFL rules. The
NFL warns teams against such
practices before each season, al-
though in the aftermath of the
revelations about the Saints,
current and former players from
various teams talked about that
sort of thing happening fre-
quently although not on the
same scale as the NFL found in
New Orleans.
In a memo sent out to the
NFLs 32 teams, Goodell or-
dered owners to make sure their
clubs are not offering bounties
now. Each clubs principal own-
er and head coach must certify
in writing by March 30 that no
pay-for-performance system ex-
ists.
Punishment for any Saints
players involved will be deter-
mined later, because the league
is still reviewing the case with
the NFL Players Association.

NEW YORK (AP) Tim Te-
bow is coming to New York. Re-
ally.
After a bigfalse start, the New
York Jets pulled off a Tebow-like
comeback Wednesday night,
getting the quarterback who
turnedtheDenver Broncos from
an also-ran into a playoff team
last season and became the
NFLs most talked-about player
for a fourth- and sixth-round
draft pick.
Now, Tebowmania is opening
onBroadway.
Eight hours after initially
agreeing to a deal, the teams
completed the trade that was
hungupwhenthe Jets apparent-
ly balked at repaying Denver
more than$5 millionfor a salary
advance due Tebow. ESPN re-
ported that the two sides had
agreedto split that cost.
Jets general manager Mike
Tannenbaum said there was a
disagreement about howto han-
dle the salaryadvance after Den-
ver receivedthe papers.
We knew what the contract
was, he said. We hadreadit.
Despite ultimately pulling off
the deal for Tebow, its just an-
other bizarre moment for the
Jets, ateamthat hashaditsshare
of themovertheyears, conjuring
memories of Bill Belichicks hir-
ing as coach and his resignation
one day later.
Just afewweeksafter Linsan-
ityswept theareaandtherest of
the NBAwith the Knicks sensa-
tional Jeremy
Lin, Timsani-
ty now will
take over New
York.
Youve got
a tough player
on the field, a
leader in the
locker room and a guy who
sharesthefaiththat I share,Jets
defensive endMike DeVito said.
So, Im very grateful to have
himonourteam, andI feel itsgo-
ing to really benefit us as a
whole.
But not everyones a fan.
Another teammate, corner-
backAntonioCromartie, tookto
Twitter on Wednesday to ex-
press his confidence in Sanchez
andthe offense as structuredbe-
fore the deal.
Y bring Tebow in when we
need to bring in more Weapons
for (at)MarkSanchez, Cro-
martie tweeted. Lets build the
team around him. We already
signedto 3 year ext.
But in a conference call
Wednesday night, Tannenbaum
emphasized that the team is
committedto Sanchez.
Mark Sanchez is, has been
and will be our starting quarter-
back, he said.
The Jets signedDrewStanton
last week to be their No. 2 quar-
terback, ahead of Greg McElroy,
the teams seventh-round draft
pick last year. Tannenbaumsaid
Tuesdaythat hewasconfident in
the trio, but added: Ill give you
my standard answer, which is
youneverknowif otheropportu-
nities present themselves. Well
always lookat it. Thats the stan-
dard line there, but we feel good
about Greg, DrewandMark, and

The great thing about the
game of basketball is you can
play and approach it in a lot of
different ways and be successful.
Coaches have done that over the
years, said Syracuse coach Jim
Boeheim, whos been so success-
ful in his 36 seasons that he is
third all-time on the Division I
wins list and is in the Naismith
Memorial Hall of Fame. Theres
a lot of different ways to coach a
team and to play the game, and
yet you can still be successful.
Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan has
seen a lot of zone defenses over
his 28 seasons, the last 11 with
the Badgers, and they all have
been played by opponents.
Ive never played a second of
zone defense since Ive been at
Wisconsin, senior guard Jordan
Taylor said. Ive heard Coach
say one time he played it one
possession and he got scored on
I think he said, so he wont go
back to it. I dont think youre
going to see that tomorrow.
Ryan grew up in the Philadel-
phia area and sawa lot of famous
zones coached by the likes of
Harry Litwack at Temple, Dr.
Jack Ramsay at Saints Josephs
and Jack Kraft at Villanova.
You go to the Palestra and
youre 10 years old, 11, 12 years
old, and youre watching ball
movement and body move-
ment, Ryan said. Those guys
were so good in how they taught
and how they cut and how they
used skip passes. So Im fortu-
nate in that Ive been around that
a lot.
This Syracuse zone is different
even though starting center Fab
Melo was ruled ineligible for the
tournament by the school last
week.
They have a system, and
when you have a system and its
been taught for so long and the
guys get into that system and its
passed on by the older players,
whether youre older by a year,
by a month, by three years, the
athleticism and depth that they
have, it really to me doesnt
change how they play or the way
they play, Ryan said. So we on-
ly prepare for whos there, not
for who isnt.
Among who will be there are a
core six for Syracuse who have
averaged between 15.0 and 16.5
points in the two NCAA games.
In the second half of the third-
round win over Kansas State, the
Orange looked like the team that
had spent six weeks at No. 1 and
was ranked in the top five all sea-
son. They outscored the Wild-
cats 50-35 in the second half,
shooting 66.7 percent from the
field while holding Kansas State
to 31.3 percent for the game.
We just go out there and play
basketball, Syracuse senior
point guard Scoop Jardine said.
It was tough losing Fab, dont
get me wrong, but weve got a lot
of guys that work just as hard
and with an opportunity can play
just as well. For the most part we
try to go out there and stay to-
gether no matter what happens
and whos out on the court, and I
think weve done it earlier in the
year, and thats what helped us to
this point. Guys had to step up,
and I think weve done it.
Wisconsin, which averages 64
points per game and has an of-
fense as balanced as Syracuse,
has faced several zone defenses
this season and the Badgers have
five players who have made 24 or
more 3-pointers, shooting 36.2
percent from beyond the arc as a
team.
Its kind of like Northwest-
ern, Ryan said referring to a Big
Ten opponent that plays zone.
Some teams struggle with what
they do with their zone. Weve
been pretty fortunate over the
years to have hit some shots
against it, but its like anything
else. If youre not hitting shots, it
gets into your head sometimes,
then its kind of a multiplier ef-
fect on, Oh, am I going to make
this next one? Am I going to
make the next one? Weve
watched every game that Syra-
cuse has played, and youve just
got to work the ball, use good
ball and body movement, and
when you do get shots, just have
to believe they can go in.
Both schools have struggled
lately in this round of the tourna-
ment.
Syracuse has lost its last three
round of 16 games, the last victo-
ry coming in 2003 on the way to
the schools first national cham-
pionship.
Wisconsin has lost its last two
regional semifinals, the last win
coming in 2005 when the Badg-
ers lost in the next round.
We just have to stick to what
we do well and play hard, Tay-
lor said, and I think the team
that comes out and plays the har-
dest is going to come out on
top.
DEFENSE
thatDecember. TheTigersgotcen-
ter fielder Austin Jackson from
NewYorkandrightyMaxScherzer
fromArizona inthe trade.
I tell people this all the time:
Curtis goes to New York and they
act like they discovered Curtis
Granderson, Tigers hitting coach
Lloyd McClendon said. Curtis
Granderson is good. Its not like
they got himandall of a suddenhe
became a great player.
Granderson has benefited from
the short right-field porch in the
newYankeeStadium. That doesnt
mean he views himself as the next
BarryBonds andwill swingfor the
fences every time up.
I dont look at numbers, he
said. I just want to be consistent
across the board. You can have as
successful a season by doing some
different things numbers-wise if
you help the team win games,
comeupbigintheclutchandthats
the key tosuccess.
McClendon, a former manager
with the Pittsburgh Pirates before
joiningDetroitscoachingstaff, was
quiet impressed with Granderson
duringhisyearswiththeTigers. He
is sure Granderson will make any
adjustments necessary to improve
his performance rather than being
satisfiedwithhis success.
I have no doubt that he will
roundhisgameaccordinglytoYan-
kee Stadium and I think the aver-
carry over to this at-bat and if
theres any way you can fight that
because you add up the number of
at-bats that you give away in a
courseof theseason, it couldbe20-
30 at-bats, Granderson said. If
you just get a hit in a fewof those,
your average jumps up a little and
one of those may be a game-win-
ning hit. Those are the things Im
tryingtoimprove on.
Granderson did his damage
mainly out of the No. 2 spot in the
Yankees potent lineup. Hesbatted
ineachspot fromonethroughnine
at least once over the course of his
career, but was predominantly a
leadoff hitter inhis first sixseasons
inDetroit.
It doesnt matter to me, Gran-
derson said. Wherever they hap-
pen to put me, Ill just check the li-
neupevery day.
Grandersons best all-around
seasonbefore2011was withtheTi-
gers in 2007. He hit .302 with 23
homers and 74 RBIs. Granderson
also had career-highs in doubles
(38), triples (23) and stolen bases
(26).
The two-time All-Star had 30
homers in 2009, but was traded to
the Yankees in a three-team deal
age will come up and the home
runs may come down a little bit,
McClendon said. But overall, I
think hes going to be a more pro-
ductive player.
Patrolling center field in New
Yorks famednavy pinstripes is not
an easy task. Granderson follows a
litany of legends, including Hall of
Famers Joe DiMaggio and Mickey
Mantle. Bernie Williams, Earle
Combs and Bobby Murcer are
among the other greats who also
playedcenter for the Yankees.
Granderson is up to the chal-
lengeonthefieldandawayfromit.
Hes beenlaudedbycommissioner
Bud Selig and many others for his
contributions away from the ball-
park. Granderson has represented
major league baseball in offseason
clinics in China and South Africa,
and created the Grand Kids Foun-
dation to benefit educational caus-
es.
Curtis is a tremendous person,
hes very knowledgeable about
what hes trying to accomplish,
McClendonsaid. Andfromaphys-
ical standpoint, hesverytalented.
YANKEES
AP PHOTO
Yankees center fielder Curtis Granderson led the Yankees in sev-
eral offensive categories last year, including homers (41) and RBI
(119) on a team that features stars like Alex Rodriguez, Derek
Jeter, Mark Teixeira and Robinson Cano.
It also features two of the na-
tions best short-turnaround
coaches, great basketball minds
who thrive on the adapt-on-the-
fly nature of the NCAA tourna-
ment.
Izzo has been the king of con-
sistency during his 17 seasons in
East Lansing, leading the Spar-
tans to the Final Four six times,
including three straight from
1999-2001, along with a national
championship in 2000. Hes led
Michigan State to the NCAA
tournament 14 straight years and
into the round of 16 in 10 of the
past 15 seasons.
Theres something else that
stands out about Izzo in the
NCAA tournament: his teams
rarely lose as the favorite.
The Spartans famously lost to
mid-major George Mason in the
2006 tournament as a No. 6 seed
and to Nevada two years earlier
as a seventh seed. All of Michi-
gan States other losses have
come either to a higher seed or
in the Final Four.
I think our leadership has
been good most years, Izzo
said. Thats why weve had
some success.
Pitinos had his share, too.
He has gone to the Final Four
five times and is the first coach
to take three different teams
there, starting with Providences
improbable run in 1987. Pitino
also led Kentucky to the 1996 na-
tional championship, took Louis-
ville to the Final Four in 2005
and picked up his 600th career
victory in the Cardinals opener
this season.
Louisville has won at least 20
games in all but one of Pitinos 11
seasons with the Cardinals
they had 19 his first year in 2001-
02 and been to the NCAA
tournament nine of the last 10
years.
Hes a Hall of Fame coach.
Hes a great coach to play for,
Louisville point guard Peyton Si-
va said. He teaches us a lot
about how hes been to the
Sweet 16s, how hes been in the
Elite 8s, Final Fours and nation-
al championships. And everybo-
dy grasps the fact that he has
been there and knows what it
takes to be successful.
Pitinos success has come from
the frenetic way his teams play.
No matter where hes been,
the 59-year-old coach has insti-
tuted a push-the-pace style, his
teams relying on 3-pointers and
defensive pressure to create easy
baskets on the break. He started
with Providence during its
where-did-they-come-from run
and brought it with him to Ken-
tucky and later Louisville. The
Cardinals were inconsistent at
times this season, but picked up
steam at the end, winning four
games in four days to earn the
Big East championship before
beating Davidson and New Mex-
ico to open the NCAA tourna-
ment.
COACHING
Sitting out four games while
serving a suspension isnt the
worst thing in the world to
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pen-
guins forward Steve MacIntyre.
Missing two weeks with an
eyeball that can fall out of its
socket in a gentle breeze is.
MacIntyre was suspended for
four games on March 13 after he
attempted to fight several play-
ers in a game against Springfield.
MacIntyre practiced with the
Penguins on Wednesday and he
is eligible to return to the lineup
Saturday when St. Johns comes
to town.
While he admits sitting out
was tough, its nothing compared
to the two-week layoff MacIntyre
who was with Edmonton at the
time endured after breaking his
orbital bone in a 2008 fight
against Pittsburghs Eric Godard.
He hit me three times in the
side of the face. Nobody knew it
was broke, MacIntyre said. I
blew my nose and my whole face
like exploded instantaneously. I
couldnt do anything for two
weeks. If I wouldve played and
got hit, there was a chance it
wouldve popped out.
One of hockeys toughest fight-
ers, MacIntyre has avoided sus-
pensions for most of his career.
The Springfield incident, which
he went after Falcons defense-
man Greg Amadio and occurred
after the latter fought Geoff
Walker, was simply a result of
sticking up for teammates and
holding opponents accountable
MacIntyre said.
MacIntyre and Amadio fought
each other when the two were in
the ECHL, so there is a history.
Hes a hard-nosed player and I
felt he took advantage of the sit-
uation, MacIntyre said. What
happened, happened.
After a fight with Amadio nev-
er materialized, MacIntyre
punched Springfield goaltender
Paul Dainton. Did the netminder
say something to spark such a re-
action?
Thats between me and the
goalie, MacIntyre said.
The fight generated plenty of
buzz on the internet, with labels
of MacIntyre losing his mar-
bles or goes nuts.
MacIntyre said the reaction is
a bit overboard, but he did say
the matter may have gone a bit
further than he had planned.
The only real heavy situation
I got into was when I got grabbed
from behind. I didnt know what
was going on, MacIntyre said.
Maybe it escalated a little fur-
ther than I wanted it to go. Im
not going to shoot myself in the
foot, but it happenedandImpay-
ing my suspension and fines.
The day after MacIntyre can
return to the lineup the Penguins
host Springfield (3:05 p.m. Sun-
day) in a rematch. Penguins
coach John Hynes said he has no
qualms about playing MacIntyre
in the game if he feels it gives
him the best lineup.
He could be back for Saturday
or Sunday. Hes a big part of our
team, Hynes said. When we
play him its going to be because
it gives us the best lineup, regard-
less of the opponent.
If MacIntyre suits up against
Springfield, he wouldnt be sur-
prised if the Falcons seek a bit of
revenge.
Im not calling anybody out. I
expect them to want retribution
and Ill be a man and step up to
the plate, MacIntyre said. I
have no problem with that.
After all, such accountability is
what MacIntyre feels is missing
from todays hockey.
Thats the way hockeys go-
ing. It just seems theres no con-
frontation, no If you mess with
one of my teammates some-
things going to happen. I dont
mean that in a derogatory way,
but playoffs are right around the
corner, weve got 11 games to
prove to each other what were
made of, MacIntyre said. We
want to go into the playoffs on a
high.
NOTES
D Alexandre Picard missed
Wednesdays practice for person-
al reasons. F Jason Williams re-
turned to practice after missing
the last two games for personal
reasons. D Joey Mormina, who
has been out with an illness,
practiced in full.

ORLANDO, Fla. From the
fairway on the par-5 sixth hole at
Bay Hill, caddie Joe LaCava
lookedbacktowardthe tee boxin
timetoseeTiger Woods stopsud-
denly in the middle of his swing.
Whats going on? LaCava
said, peering into the sun.
He could see Woods flexing his
right knee as he pacedbehindthe
ball, rubbing his lower back and
stretching. Standing over the ball
again, Woods let go of the driver
before finishing his swing, al-
though the ball wound up in the
middle of the fairway.
Was it the left Achilles tendon
again? His rebuilt knee? Some-
thing else?
The concern didnt last long.
Turns out it was a camera click
that made Woods flinch.
I guess one of the so-called
professional photographers took
a picture right in the middle of
my downswing, Woods said. I
stopped it, and then felt a pretty
good twinge in my back. Walked
it off and then tried to hit one
down there. Hit it in the fairway,
but didnt feel very good. But af-
ter a couple of holes, it loosened
up. And Im good to go now.
That was the message Woods
preached Wednesday on the eve
of the Arnold Palmer Invitation-
al, his last tournament before the
Masters begins on April 5, when
he resumes his pursuit of Jack
Nicklaus in the majors.
He feels good enough to play
golf as many as eight days in a
row. Woods revealed that his
weekstartedwitha triptoAugus-
ta National on Sunday, followed
by a two-day exhibition at Lake
Nona, the pro-am at Bay Hill and
then four days of the Arnold
Palmer Invitational.
Evenso, his healthfigures tobe
a big topic in the two weeks lead-
ing to the Masters.
In his last official tournament,
Woods played11holes in the final
round at Doral before he with-
drew because of tightness in the
left Achilles tendon, the same
one that forced him to miss two
majors last year.
Ive had tightness before, but
not to that extent, Woods said.
But treatment afterwards al-
ways get it right back to where it
should be. And thats one of the
reasons why I wasnt really that
concerned about it, that I would
come back and play these
events.
Could it happen again?
It could, Woods said. But
hopefully, it wont.
Palmer was happy to see
Woods at his tournament he
has never missed Bay Hill except
for when he was returning from
the crisis in his personal life in
2010. He, too, is curious about
the Masters. Both are four-time
champions.
I thinkthat towin, youhave to
be on top of your game at Augus-
ta, and theres no question about
that, Palmer said. And so Tiger
will have to be. Does it make it
more likely that hell win there?
Only in that he will probably
work very hard to get his game ...
in shape to win. Theres certainly
that possibility. Will he win? I
dont know.
Im not sure that I could say
that hes in that good of shape
right now, but I know hes work-
ing for it.
Martin Laird is the defending
champion at Bay Hill, where he
closed with a 75 for a one-shot
win. The fieldis stronger thanex-
pected, with Phil Mickelson, Do-
ral winner Justin Rose, FedEx
Cup champion Bill Haas and
Graeme McDowell.
Also playing is Ernie Els, try-
ing to recover from two short
putts he missed over the last
three holes at Innisbrook that
might have cost the three-time
major champion a trip to the
Masters.
Except for leaving Doral early,
Woods has shown ample signs
that his game is close, at least tee-
to-green. He has gone into the
back nine with a chance to win at
three tournaments this year
Abu Dhabi, Pebble Beach and
Honda.
He has had some familiar mo-
ments, such as that 5-iron over
the water to 8 feet for eagle and a
closing 62 at the Honda Classic.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. The U.S. men
are ready to go on the offensive as they
chase a berth in the 2012 Olympics on
the same field where the Americans
qualified for Beijing in 2008.
Coach Caleb Porter has held a hand-
ful of camps to implement the kind of
aggressive, possession-oriented attack
he uses at Akron, and the U.S. under-23
team will get the chance to test the ap-
proachingames that matter starting to-
night against Cuba. Porter has Freddy
Adu from the Philadelphia Union as
team captain with forwards including
Brek Shea from FC Dallas and Juan
Agudelo of the New York Red Bulls
heading up a talented roster.
Porter believes he has plenty of
depth, which will be the key with three
games in five days playing the style the
coach used in winning a national title at
Akron in 2010. Porter wants the Amer-
icans to control the game.
And how you control a soccer game
is you possess the ball, so were going to
be a team that builds out of the back.
Youre going to see a short passing
game. The balls going to be on the
ground. Weve worked a lot in training
on ball circulation and combination
play and movement, spacing, all those
little attacking details that take time,
Porter said.
Its not easy to focus on that side of
the ball; most teams focus on the defen-
sive side. Its easier to destroy than to
create.
Canada plays El Salvador inthe open-
er of todays doubleheader, part of the

Kraft names snack business
Kraft Foods Inc. announced Wednes-
day that its new global snacks company
will be named Mondelez International
Inc.
Mondelez was inspired by the sug-
gestions of two Kraft employees. It is
intended to evoke the idea of a deli-
cious world as monde is derived
from the Latin word for world and
delez as an expression of delicious.
Kraft announced in August that it
would be splitting in two by the end of
2012 so both sides of the business
could focus better on their priorities.
The North American grocery busi-
ness will continue to carry the compa-
ny name as Kraft Foods Group Inc.,
selling products such as Maxwell
House coffee and Oscar Mayer meats.
Home sales picking up
The past two months made up the
best winter for sales of previously occu-
pied homes in five years, when the
housing crisis began. And the sales
pace in January was the highest since
May 2010, the last month that buyers
could qualify for a federal home-buying
tax credit.
February sales dipped only slightly
to a seasonally adjusted 4.59 million,
the National Association of Realtors
said Wednesday. Thats 13 percent
higher than the sales pace last July and
just below the revised 4.63 million in
January.
The median sales prices of homes
rose for the first time in four months in
February, to $156,600.
HP merging key units
Hewlett-Packard Co. will combine its
PC and printing units into one business
as the tech giant looks to improve its
performance.
The new Printing and Personal Sys-
tems Group will be led by Todd Bra-
dley, who has been executive vice presi-
dent of the companys PC business
since 2005, the company said Wednes-
day.The realignment is expected to
provide cost savings and drive profits,
fueling speculation among analysts
that job cuts could follow.
Hartford exiting annuities
Hartford Financial Services Group
Inc. is exiting the annuity business so it
can focus on its property and casualty
insurance, group benefits and mutual
funds.
The company said Wednesday that it
is also looking to sell or pursue other
options for its individual life, retire-
ment plans and broker-dealer Wood-
bury Financial Services.

Ive been
bombarded by
commercials
for the Chevy
Volt recently
theyve been
billing it as
The Car America Had To
Build.
When we talk about clean
energy, electric and hybrid-
electric cars often come into
the discussion.
After all, how clean can it be
to have millions of cars spew-
ing smog into the environment
every day?
What proponents of the
electric car need to realize is
that until your power plants
are green, your hybrid cars are
just as dirty as everyone elses.
Until your batteries are green,
in fact, youre probably doing
more damage to the envi-
ronment in the long run than if
you had a normal, gas-guzzling
clunker.
Granted, theyre coming up
with better batteries and clean-
er fuel all the time, and the
infrastructure for electric cars
is much simpler to produce.
But nothing comes without
a price. That electric car will
cause problems for someone,
maybe not today, or maybe not
where you live, but for some-
one eventually. In terms of
environmental economics, all
youre doing is writing a big
IOU. And as recent economic
developments have told us,
thats not a good thing.
Not to mention, electric
cars performance, with the
exception of a select few vehi-
cles like the Tesla Roadster, is
generally tepid.
But there is a clean energy
source that actually is clean,
that offers superior perform-
ance, that can be adapted to
work with existing engine
designs and that generates
negligible amounts of pollu-
tion.
It also happens to be the
most abundant element in the
universe hydrogen.
Im not talking about fuel
cells, which are essentially
glorified, expensive batteries.
Im talking about hydrogen
internal combustion engines.
They dont use exotic tech-
nology and they produce only
water as a byproduct.
Best of all they actually
produce more energy from the
same amount of fuel than a
gasoline-powered engine.
The only real downside right
now is its relatively difficult to
obtain liquid hydrogen.
Detractors also point out
that hydrogen is highly explo-
sive sort of like gasoline.
Auto manufacturers will
eventually have to face the
facts when it comes to alterna-
tive fuel vehicles: Some people
buy cars as much more than
basic transportation.
They buy them for a specific
visceral experience. And out of
the so-called alternative fuels
(I do not count diesel as one)
only hydrogen actually gives
you the same experience that
gasoline does. In the end, the
human appeal of a technology
is usually what carries the day
see the iPhone and countless
other examples.
Hydrogen cars more appealing

WASHINGTON Its the political
cure-all for high gas prices: Drill here,
drill now. But more U.S. drilling has
not changed how deeply the gas pump
drills into your wallet, math and histo-
ry show.
A statistical analysis of 36 years of
monthly, inflation-adjusted gasoline
prices and U.S. domestic oil produc-
tion by The Associated Press shows no
statistical correlation between how
much oil comes out of U.S. wells and
the price at the pump.
If more domestic oil drilling worked
as politicians say, youd now be paying
about $2 a gallon for gasoline. Instead,
youre paying the highest prices ever
for March.
Political rhetoric about the blame
over gas prices and the power to
change them whether Republican
claims nowor Democrats charges four
years ago is not supported by cold,
hard figures. And thats especially true
about oil drilling in the U.S. More oil
production here does not mean consis-
tently lower prices at the pump.
Sometimes prices increase as Amer-
ican drilling ramps up. Thats what has
happened in the past three years. Since
February 2009, U.S. oil production has
increased 15 percent when seasonally
adjusted. Prices in those three years
went from $2.07 per gallon to $3.58. It
was a case of drilling more and paying
much more.
U.S. oil production is back to the
same level it was in March 2003, when
gas cost $2.10per gallonwhenadjusted
for inflation. But thats not what prices
are now.
Thats because oil is a global com-
modity and U.S. production has only a
tiny influence onsupply. Factors far be-
yond the control of a nation or a presi-
dent dictate the price of gasoline.
Drill, baby, drill has nothing to do
with it, said Judith Dwarkin, chief en-
ergy economist at ITG investment re-
search. Two other energy economists
said the same thing and experts in the
field have been making that observa-
tion for decades.
Thelate1980s and1990s showexact-
ly how domestic drilling is not related
to gas prices.
Production between 1986 and 1999
dropped by nearly one-third. If the
drill-now theory were correct, prices
should have soared. Instead they went
down by nearly a dollar.
The political party of the president
doesnt seem to matter to the price at
the pump either. Since 1976, the aver-
age monthly gas price, adjusted for in-
flation, during Democratic presiden-
cies has been$2.25; under Republicans
its been$2.34. Obama hadthe steepest
monthly average at $3.05 and Bill Clin-
ton the cheapest at $1.68.

More drilling, no impact
By SETH BORENSTEIN and JACK GILLUM
Associated Press
Wilkes-Barre-based InterMetro In-
dustries is moving forward with plans
to shift one of its manufacturing facil-
ities from Chester County to Mexico,
but the impact on its local operations
will be minimal, a company spokes-
man said Wednesday.
Sixty-two employees of InterMe-
tros Coatesville plant will lose their
jobs when the factory closes in Sep-
tember, according to a notice posted
last month on the Pennsylvania De-
partment of Labor &Industrywebsite.
Employees of the Coatesville plant
were first informed in July that the
company had tentative plans to move
the facility toMexico. The roughly100
employees at another InterMetro
plant in Fostoria, Ohio, were given the
same notice.
About 500 of Intermetros 1,500 em-
ployees work in Wilkes-Barre.
Mark Polzin, spokesman for Inter-
Metro parent company Emerson Elec-
tric, would not speculate on how jobs
at the companys headquarters at 651
N. Washington St. might be affected,
but said the move will have minimal
impact on Wilkes-Barre.
Its different work, he added.
Intermetros Wilkes-Barre manufac-
turing plant in the Parsons section
makes and distributes heated cabinets
and shelving for the food-service in-
dustry and assembles modular case-
work and carts for the health-care in-
dustry. The Coatesville factory makes
polymer-based health-care products.
Emerson and its businesses are
continually restructuring and looking
at howto best optimize our assets and
facilities toserveour customers needs
as best we can, Polzin said. Unfortu-
nately, because of conditions at hand
and world economies, this is the best
method at hand to continue to serve
our customers needs.

Personal Training For Everyone
Ayear and a half ago I came to the realization I needed to address my lack of physical exercise. My health and physical appearance were on a downward
spiral and I had enough. What was once my stomach had become a spare tire. What was once a very youthful and energized individual had turned into a very
tired, overweight, and unhappy person. With my husbands encouragement, and my own determination, I went to talk to the manager at Odyssey Fitness about
their personal training program. We discussed what I was looking to accomplish and who they thought would be a good match for my personal needs. It was
then I would meet Matt Balas, my personal trainer.
Matt and I spent the next hour talking about my physical condition which included advanced
arthritis in both knees. My knee issues were what led me to believe I couldnt achieve what I
really wanted to; to get rid of my belly fat, lose 10-15 lbs. and completely tone the rest of my
body. We went through a physical assessment of overall strength and fexibility, as well as body
measurements. Boy, those numbers were a reality check. After Matt and I completed our
assessment, I knew I had found the trainer for me. I signed up for a 12 week training package
and our journey began.
I was quite impressed with Matts attentiveness to my physical needs. He was always very
cognizant of the issues I had with my knees and would ask, as we started each exercise, if I felt
any pain. All of my routines were developed to my specifc needs and, as time would tell, were
very effective. To this day I am still training with Matt, I cant imagine not. Exercise is a way of
life for me and has re-shaped who I am. I mean that fguratively, as well as literally. If you would
have told me a year and a half ago I would wake up with no knee pain, I would have said
impossible.
I have well exceeded my expectations and could never have imagined I would be where I am
today. I have lost a total of 16 lbs, 8 inches, and over 6% body fat.
My deepest gratitude goes out to Matt for making what seemed an impossibility a reality.

The average
temperature of
47.8 degrees so
far this month is
now tied with
the warmest on
record for March,
last set in 1945.
We move up into
sole possession
of first place
after today and
Friday, then drop
out of first place
after cooler
weather moves
in early next
week. In any
event, this March
will probably end
up being in the
top three
warmest since
1901. At this time
last year, we
were just hours
away from
having a nasty
stormwhich hit
on March 23,
dumping 9
inches of snow.
Then we had
nearly 7 inches
of rain in April.
This spring, the
elements should
prove to be
more agreeable.

P.J. Stebbins was the kind of fun-loving prank-
ster whod visit you at Christmastime with a
strand of lights strung over his Christmas sweat-
er.
Then hed plug himself in, his sister Tonya
Stebbins, 37, of Mountain Top remembered.
A caring uncle, he texted a teenage niece con-
gratulations whenever she made the honor roll,
took his nephews to Boston Red Sox games, and
personally taught the younger generation his
moms traditional way of making Easter bread.
He labeled the recipe Top Secret, P.J.s
wife, Suzie Stebbins, 33, of West Pittston said,
smiling through tears. It was more about being
with family than baking.
Im a diehard Democrat, another sister, Lea
Black, 38, of Hanover Township said, testifying
to her little brothers persuasive powers. But
when he wanted to run for state rep. at age 26
(trying for the Republican nomination), he had
me out there collecting signatures.
As P.J.s wife and sisters shared memories ear-
lier this week, they
painted a full por-
trait of a man who
died too soon, at
age 32, claimed by a
heart condition on
March 7.
He was so full of
life, they said, so sil-
ly with his stunts
and so maddening
with his teasing,
they just couldnt
lay him to rest with
a standard obituary.
He was not nor-
mal, Tonya Steb-
bins said. If I would
have had to read a
normal, boring
obituary, that
wouldnt have been
him.
With Suzies
blessing, Tonya
wrote an obituary
that began Paul
John MatthewSteb-
bins Jr. surprised
and annoyed us all
one final time by dy-
ing suddenly on
Wednesday, March
7, 2012 at the
Wilkes-Barre Gen-
eral Hospital.
It was like he
was guiding your
pen, Suzie Steb-
bins said to her sis-
ter-in-law. It was
the kind of obituary
he would have written himself.
The obituary citedP.J.s opinionthat OnAug.
25, 1979 God gave the ladies of the world a gift.
It explained that one special woman was lucky
enough to unwrap that gift and on June 26, 2004
he married his best friend and soul mate of al-
most eight years, Suzie. He even forgave her for
being a New York Yankees fan.
After mentioning how P.J. loved being the
best uncle, bargain shopping, Phil Collins, Re-
publicans, funny movies, the Florida Gators and
pushinghis fathers buttons, the obituary tooka
more serious turn and suggested readers honor
P.J. by smiling through the pain, doting upon
your children, toleratingsomeone difficult, mak-
ing amends, being a better friend and most im-
portantly, turning to someone you love, right
now, and telling them so.
Soon dozens of people, friends and strangers
alike, expressed online condolences on the fu-
neral home website, while many others circulat-
ed links to the obituary, Black said.
Tonya Stebbins was elated a few days later to
read a letter to the editor (published March14 in
The Times Leader) from Bob Perks of Shaver-

HILADELPHIA Harry Potter ...
Bella Swan ... Katniss Everdeen?
If the bespectacled boy wizard of
Harry Potter and the sulky high
schooler-turned-vampire-wife of the
Twilight Saga have long been im-
printed in
the collec-
tive consciousness, is it now
time for the teenage heroine of
The Hunger Games to join
them?
With the Suzanne Collins book
perched atop the childrens and
young-adult best-seller lists pret-
ty much since its publication in
late 2008, and with advance tick-
et sales for the $100 million Lion-
sgate film adaptation outpacing
the inaugural Harry Potter, there are strong indications
that Ms. Everdeen is indeed heading for that rarefied
realm of pop iconography.
The film has sold out over 1,000 showtimes, and it
represents about three-fourths of ticket sales today, re-
ports Harry Medved of Fandango, the online box-office
service. Its among the top-selling titles on Fandango
ever.
But The Hunger Games, which has its share of fanta-
sy elements, colorfully over-the-top costumes and com-
ically coiffed characters, is in many ways rougher stuff
than Harry Potter or Twilight. Collins books (there
are two sequels: Catching Fire and Mockingjay) are
set in the postapocalyptic ruins of
North America, where the capital
city of Panem teems with the rich
and effete, while many of the out-
lying 12 districts are home to
struggling farmers and coal min-
ers, the hungry, the underclass.
And every year, the leaders of
each district enter two of its chil-
dren, a boy and a girl, in the Hun-
ger Games a nationally tele-
vised event in which 24 young
Tributes fight one another. Fight
to the death, until only one remains.
Yes, its kid-lit about the 1 percent vs. the 99, about the
weird spectacle of reality TV, about kids killing kids.
Theres a sophistication to Suzannes books, says Wes
Bentley, who plays Seneca Crane, the head Gamemaker
By STEVEN REA The Philadelphia Inquirer
In the end, its about rebellion,
government oppression. ... And all
these kids that are put into the
Games, its not by their choice.
Its about survival.

Games.
pound bow, when you pull it as far as
you need, youre going to be pulling
back 30 pounds. Acompound bowpro-
Plenty of storybook heroines inspire
self-confidence, wisdom and maturity
in the young adults who have read
their tales of triumph.
Katniss Everdeen does all that with
a bonus: She also may pique some in-
terest in archery.
The prowess displayed by the main
character in the highly anticipated
book-turned-movie The Hunger
Games is likely, some say, to drumup
interest in the age-old weaponry sport
involving bow and arrow.
EdKrystofosky of The Archery Zone
in Larksville notes that Katnisss mo-
vie bow is a traditional, or recurve,
bow, one in which there are no me-
chanics to take over for the shooter.
With a recurve youre pulling back
the full weight, he said. If its a 30-
vides a mechanical advantage. When
you pull it back at a certain point the
mechanical aspect takes over, and
youre not pulling the full weight of the
bow.
Compound bows are easier to aim
and shoot in general, but Krystofosky
has a soft spot for the recurve.
Its artistic, really, he said. Its
amazing to see someone shoot it and
with such accuracy.
Archery Zone teaches beginners on
the traditional bows. Archers of all ag-
es andskill ranges cantake a four-week
beginner course of group classes for
$40 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Mondays.
Equipment is provided.
The bows range from eight to 30
pounds, and shooters begin practice at
a 7-yard range fromthe target. The far-

This traditional, or recurve, bow is

with the weapon and will teach his
skills to any interested.

town, who praised the obituary
and said it prompted him to turn
to his wife, Marianne, and say I
love you.
See, P.J., Tonya said earlier
this week, with a glance heaven-
ward. Youre still making a dif-
ference.
P.J. was always thinking of oth-
ers, Suzie said, noting her hus-
band used Facebook a few hours
before his death to urge people to
support Big Brothers/Big Sis-
ters Bowl For Kids Sake, set for
March 31 at Stanton Lanes in
Wilkes-Barre. She andher sisters-
in-law plan to attend the fund-
raiser and bowl in P.J.s honor.
If you read local obituaries
youll notice many modern ones
include personal details that
were seldom, if ever, included in
the standard death notices of the
past. Decades ago, veteran news-
paper staffers remember, there
were strict rules.
Editors demanded the phrase
passedaway, thoughfavoredby
many funeral directors, be
changed to the verb died. And
only immediate family members
nocousins, nofriends, nopets
could be individually named as
survivors.
Nowadays you might read that
the deceased enjoyed baking piz-
za fromscratch or growing toma-
toes or dancing to polka music or
adopting greyhounds.
And, sometimes a death is de-
scribedas becominga star inthe
heavens, falling asleep in the
Lord or joining a beloved
spouse.
Funeral director Marilyn Gub-
biotti thinks the creative addi-
tions are wonderful.
Ive been doing this for 34
years, she said. In the past you
couldnt veer off the format. Its
nice that people can finally put in
what they want and personalize
it. It makes (the deceased) bigger
than life, and they deserve it.

thest distance in the indoor
range is 20 yards.
Though Katniss and other
archers make the skill look easy
and appealing, Krystofosky as-
sures that hard work is involved.
Its a lot of practice and a lot
of shooting, he said.
And its not all physical.
Once you get the whole hang
of shooting, the physical part of
doingit, its all mental steps. Our
mind doesnt want to let us do
the same exact thing over and
over, but thats what you have to
do. Its more of a mental game.
Krystofosky has been regional
champion for the past five years
and holds the state champion ti-
tle for 2009.
Lonesome Road Archery, on
MainStreet inOldForge, also of-
fers all-ages beginner classes for
$9 apiece. Lessons are given at 6

Owner Jason Jones recogniz-
es that Hunger Games might
bring him bigger crowds and is
ready for the influx.
We have some kids coming
here that do activities with a li-
brary in Scranton, and its be-
cause of The Hunger Games.
Its definitely getting people in-
terested.
Hunger Games the movie is
based on Hunger Games the
book, the first in the hugely pop-
ular young-adult trilogy. Barnes
& Noble in the Arena Hub Plaza
in Wilkes-Barre Township has
been able to keep the books,
written for young adults but ap-
pealing to older adults as well, in
stock, thanks to anticipatory or-
dering.
We knew it was going to be
huge, so the buyers had the fore-
sight to make sure we always
had enough in stock, Donna
Wench, community relations
manager, said. Thats great, be-
cause weve been selling a lot
more inthe weeks before the mo-
vie.
Several companion books are
available, such as Guide to the
Hunger Games, the official il-
lustrated movie companion.
The best thing about this
book is that it really crosses over
a demographic line, Wench
said. It was released as a chil-
drens book, but its clearly not
only for children; adults have al-
ways liked it.

Jacob Stitzer
(think reality-show director) in
The Hunger Games. In the
end, its about rebellion, govern-
ment oppression. ... And all these
kids that are put into the Games,
its not by their choice. Its about
survival.
Inthe case of Katniss, playedby
Jennifer Lawrence, it IS a choice:
Her younger sister, a pip-squeak
in pigtails, is chosen to represent
the hard-pressed people of Dis-
trict 12. But Katniss an ace
archer who kills deer and rabbit
and squirrel for her familys sup-
per volunteers to take her
place.
Its a human story, says Dayo
Okeniyi, the Nigerian-born actor
who makes his major-studio de-
but as Thresh, one of the Tributes
favored to win the Games. Even
though its set in this fantastical
world, this surreal future ... at its
core youare dealingwithlove and
sacrifice and the lengths that you
would go to to protect the ones
you love.
For Nina Jacobson, the Holly-
wood veteran who acquired the
rights to Collins trilogy shortly
after The Hunger Games was
published, the mounting antici-
pation and hype are some-
thing of a surprise.
I was confident all along that
the book deserved to be a mo-
vie, the producer says. But hon-
estly, everything that has hap-
pened in the last two months has
exceeded all of my expectations
in terms of the excitement thats
surrounding it.
Jacobson hired Gary Ross, who
wrote Big and directed Seabis-
cuit, to work on the screenplay
and direct the Lionsgate produc-
tion the most expensive in the
studios history. Ross shares the
screenplay credit with writer Bil-
lyRay, andwithCollins. Jacobson
was intent on honoring the au-
thors vision, and Collins was in-
volved at every stage of the pro-
duction.
The book presents a complex
subject matter in a very nuanced
and ethical way, Jacobson says.
It addresses our current social
conditions, with the growing gap
between the haves and the have-
nots, and the way in which our
fascination with celebrity and
(with) the artificial realityof real-
ity TV conceals underlyingsocial
ills. ... Its a very modern book in
that regard.
But are tweens and teens going
to get that? Do the folks buying
The Unofficial Hunger Games
Cookbook (More than 150 reci-
pes inspired by The Hunger
Games trilogy!) care about so-
cial commentary and subtext?
I think they get a lot of it, to be
honest, Jacobson says. For one,
people identify with Katniss.
Shes abraveheroine; shesteps up
todosomethingfor her sister that
I think most people can relate to.
... She is a very accessible heroine
in that regard.
But I also think the degree to
which she is aware, in the book
and in the movie, that she has to
play to the camera if she wants to
survive I think young people
are very aware that what they
might watchonrealityTVis more
TV than it is reality.
In the United Kingdom, Jacob-
son had to make very small
trims tothe films more violent se-
quences to safeguard its age 12-
and-over rating. (In the United
States, the MPAA ratings board
gave The Hunger Games a
PG-13.) Kids are stabbed, shot
through the heart, left lifeless in
the woods.
We felt that the violence need-
ed to be honest and feel real, and
feel scary, because you dont want
tosugarcoat it or soft-pedal it, Ja-
cobson says. But on the other
hand, you dont want to stylize it,
or make it gratuitous or sensa-
tionalistic or glamorize in any
way.

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I would
like to tell Possibly
Paddled Pledge
(Jan. 13) that joining
a sorority was one
of the best parts of
college for me. It
taught me about
interpersonal communication, the
importance of philanthropy and aca-
demics, and networking. I learned
skills I would not have gained had I
not joined.
My sorority had paddles. We
decorated them with our symbols
and Greek letters, and they were
displayed on the wall. We never used
them to hit anyone. Our national or-
ganization, as well as our university
would have been furious. Hazing is
illegal and should not be tolerated.
I say, give the Greek life a try,
but if someone ever lifts a finger
toward you, report her to your pan-
hellenic organization and the dean of
students immediately. Sororities are
supposed to lift you up, not beat you
down.
Jennifer in St. Louis
Dear Jennifer: Readers unanimously
agreed that paddling should not be
tolerated, and stressed that being a
legacy does not guarantee acceptance
or that a pledge will have a good ex-
perience in a particular sorority. My
readers comment:
Dear Abby: My daughter is currently
in a sorority, but her experience has
been very mixed. She was not auto-
matically welcomed by my sorority.
She found the process to be difficult
and judgmental. However, she did
find a wonderful group of women in a
different sorority.
As a sophomore this year, she is on
the other side of recruitment (rush)
and again felt hurt by how rude some
of the new girls were. PPPs letter
spotlighted the snobbish, elitist at-
titude that turns many eligible young
women away from sororities. To say
a group is the best-of-the-best and ex-
clusive is offensive. I hope more girls
will look beyond the glitz and glam-
our and give a second hard look to all
of the groups.
Jane in Akron, Ohio
Dear Abby: As a member of a soror-
ity, I have never heard of a sorority
that used paddles to hit members.
What bothers me is the apparent ac-
ceptance by PPPs family members
of this practice.
As a prosecutor for nearly 30 years,
I do not condone in any way the use
of a paddle, either in fraternities or
sororities.
A sorority is more than academics
and whispers about hazing. PPP
should visit each chapter on the
campus, attend rush and make her
own decision. Only she can decide
which sorority is right for her. If she
pledges as a legacy, shell be in a
unique position to actively stop this
practice if, in fact, it is occurring. If
shes kicked out for not letting them
paddle her, then she can shout it from
the rooftops and maybe something
will finally happen.
PPP, stand up for what you
believe. Choose a sorority you like,
with women you would be proud
to call your sisters, and you will
have the time of your life and life-
long friends who will see you through
your old age. I know. I didnt pledge
my moms chapter, but a different
one.

Living the sorority experience enriches college life without hazing
To receive a collection of Abbys most
memorable and most frequently re-
quested poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus
check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in
Canada) to: Dear Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box
447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage
is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Youll
offer a kind heart to those who
dont think they deserve it.
Youre compassionate because
you, too, have failed and come to
an understanding with yourself
and those around you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Add
more people to your crew. Tell
people what youre working
on. Your projects will feel less
arbitrary and lonely. People will
know what you are up to.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Maybe
you are reading and studying for
the pure pleasure of learning.
Well, its time to change your
intention. Read and study with
the intention of taking action on
what you know.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Popular opinion wont appeal to
you today, as youll be off in your
own little world. Or more likely,
its a big world and your influ-
ence will affect many. So maybe
let the popular opinion affect
you some ...
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Its not so
much that youre preoccupied as
that you have a big responsibility
to fulfill. The one who under-
stands what youre trying to
accomplish will have your heart.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Youll
benefit financially by polish-
ing and improving your things.
Youre the neat freak of the zodi-
ac, so this may have to do with
making your possessions the
cleanest and best they can be.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). One of
those moods may strike, the
mood that has you looking for
lost loves, past acquaintances
and also people you want to
know in your future life.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). This
you can be sure of: Your life is a
weird world as far as someone
else is concerned. And in a weird
world, your audacity is what will
propel you forward.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Youll encounter people from
other parts of the world who
stretch your comfort zone.
Differences in culture will cause
you to think beyond the struc-
tures of your known world.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You
could spend a lifetime trying to
create great works. Or you could
believe that your works are great
simply because you are the one
who created them.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You
have a talent for making people
feel special. Youll speak to a
group of people, and each indi-
vidual will believe that you are
connecting specifically with him
or her.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You
may think of yourself as a rookie
in some regard. Everyone you
admire in this field was in your
position at some point in the
game. You dont need much
more than courage.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (March 22).
Youll renew your commitment
to a person or project in the next
three weeks. A restless spirit
has you making changes and
improvements through April.
Youll set up deals in May and
get praise and attention for it
in the months to follow. June
and October are lucrative. July
brings magical nights. Scorpio
and Sagittarius people adore
you. Your lucky numbers are: 6,
30, 2, 33 and 17.
