Luzerne County officials esti-
mated the number of layoffs at 67
during Tuesdays county council
meeting, but a detailed review
Wednesday of documents from
multiple county officials shows a
total 59employees are actually im-
pacted.
Former interim county Manag-
salary guaranteed until his elected
term expires at the end of 2013.
Home rule eliminated the post in
response tocomplaints it was a no-
show, do-nothing job.
Bonnie L. Markowski had al-
ready resignedas the Democrat ju-
ry commissioner.
The county will save $2.79 mil-
lion in salaries plus benefits
through the layoffs and job elimi-
nations, Pribula reported to coun-
rule also are factored in.
For example, an executive as-
sistant post is cut because former
commissioner executive assistant
Nancy Kelly resigned last week af-
ter obtaining other employment.
Another job cut stems from
Frank Semanskis resignation as
Republican jury commissioner ef-
fective today.

Deputy Court Administra-

court is looking to create a sys-

preventingproblemslikethose

Inarelatedmatter, President
Judge Thomas Burke said
court administration has com-
mitted to re-examining any
new invoices submitted by at-
torneys for legal services per-
formed last year to ensure rea-

The action is in response to
shortcomings that have been
identified in
the over-

which attor-

custody cases were paid last

Story, 2A
Davy Jones, the lead singer
of the 1960s group The Mon-
kees who died Wednesday of
a heart attack, was an occa-
sional visitor to the Wyoming
Valley.
In 1986, Jones and two
other Monkees Peter Tork
and Micky Dolenz appeared
at The Woodlands Inn in
Plains Township for the first
stop on their reunion tour.
In 2008, Jones made an
appearance on Public Square
in Wilkes-Barre to support
Leadership Wilkes-Barre by
singing Im a Believer for
Mayor Tom Leighton.
And as recently as Friday
night, Jones had a telephone
interview on Edd Raineris
local radio show, Beatledd
Fab Four Hour.
The Monkees started out in
the 1960s as a group that
combined pop music with
slapstick TV comedy that
appealed to teenagers and
adults.
They evolved into a capa-
ble group of musicians
adored by many and followed
by millions.

SAN FRANCISCO If
youre amazed and maybe
even a little alarmed about
how much Google seems to
know about you, brace yourself.
Beginning today, Google will
operate under a streamlined
privacy policy that enables the
Internets most powerful com-
pany to dig even deeper into
the lives of its more than 1
billion users.
Google says the changes will
make it easier for consumers to
understand how it collects
personal information, and allow
the company to create more
helpful and compelling ser-
vices. Critics, including most of
the countrys state attorneys
general and a top regulator in
Europe, argue that Google is
trampling on peoples privacy
rights in its relentless drive to
sell more ads.
Heres a look at some of the
key issues to consider as Goo-
gle tries to learn about you.
Q: How will Googles privacy
changes affect users?
A: Google Inc. is combining
more than 60 different privacy
policies so it will be able to
throw all the data it gathers
about each of its logged-in
users into personal dossiers.
The information Google learns
about you while you enter re-
quests into its search engine
can be culled to suggest videos
to watch when you visit the
companys YouTube site.
Users who write a memo on
Googles online word proc-
essing program, Docs, might be
alerted to the misspelling of
the name of a friend or co-
worker a user has communicat-
ed with on Googles Gmail. The
new policy pools information
from all Google-operated ser-
vices, empowering the compa-
ny to connect the dots from
one service to the next.
Q: Why is Google making
these changes?
A: The company, based in
Mountain View, Calif., says it is
striving for a beautifully sim-
ple, intuitive user experience
across Google. What Google
hasnt spent much time talking
about is how being able to draw
more revealing profiles about
its users will help sell advertis-
ing the main source of its
$38 billion in annual revenue.
One reason Google has be-
come such a big advertising
network: Its search engine
analyzes requests to figure out
which people are more likely to
be interested in marketing
pitches about specific products
and services. Targeting the ads
to the right audience is crucial
because in many cases, Google
only gets paid when someone
clicks on an ad link. And, of
course, advertisers tend to
spend more money if Google is
bringing them more customers.
Q: Is there a way to prevent
Google from combining the
personal data it collects from
all its services?
A: No, not if youre a regis-
tered user of Gmail, Google
Plus, YouTube, or other Google
products. But you can minimize
the data Google gathers. For
starters, make sure you arent
logged into one of Googles
services when youre using
Googles search engine, watch-
ing a YouTube video or perus-
ing pictures on Picasa. You can
get a broad overview of what
Google knows about you at
http://www.google.com/dash-
board , where a Google account
login is required. Google also
offers the option to delete us-
ers history of search activity.
Its important to keep in
mind that Google can still track
you even when youre not
logged in to one of its services.
But the information isnt quite
as revealing because Google
doesnt track you by name, only
through a numeric Internet
address attached to your com-
puter or an alphanumeric
string attached to your Web
browser.
Q: Are all Google services
covered by the privacy policy?
A: No, a few products, such
as Googles Chrome Web
browser and mobile payment
processor Wallet, will still be
governed by separate privacy
policies.
Q: What regulatory power do
government agencies have to
change or amend the privacy
changes?
A: The U.S. Federal Trade
Commission gained greater
oversight over Googles hand-
ling of personal information as
part of a settlement reached
last year. Google submitted to
the agreement after exposing
its users email contacts when it
launched a now-defunct social
networking service called Buzz
in 2010. The consent order
requires Googles handling of
personal information to be
audited every other year and
forbids misleading or deceptive
privacy changes.
Google met with the FTC
before announcing the privacy
changes. Neither the company
nor the FTC has disclosed
whether Google satisfied regu-
lators that the revisions comply
with the consent order.
Google and you: Too cozy for comfort?
Beginning today, company will
operate under a new,
streamlined privacy policy.
Q & A
By MICHAEL LIEDTKE
AP Technology Writer
HARRISBURG A Republi-
can-sponsored bill in the state
House to mandate ultrasounds
for womenseekingabortions was
put on hold Wednesday to ad-
dress questions that have arisen
since a similar measure in Virgin-
ia ran into fierce criticism.
A spokesman for Majority
Leader Mike Turzai, R-Alleghe-
ny, said concerns about the bill
within the medical community
will also be fully vetted before it
will be advanced.
Sponsors of the Pennsylvania
bill said it would require an ultra-
sound, but a woman would not
have to look at the printout. It al-
so would require that all ques-
tions about the fetus health and
gestational age be answeredcom-
pletely, establish guidelines for
handling the ultrasound man-
date, andset minimumstandards
for those who perform them.
Democratic caucus spokesman
Bill Patton said the House should
instead be addressing jobs, trans-
portation, education and health
care.
The decision to put aside this
divisive and ill-conceived bill cre-
ates an opening for both parties
to work together productively on
the issues that matter most, Pat-
ton said.
Virginias Senate on Tuesday
passed a bill to require noninva-
sive ultrasounds after stripping
out a provision that the exams in-
volve a vaginal procedure.
Aphone message seekingcom-
ment was not immediately re-
turned by the prime sponsor,
Rep. Kathy Rapp, R-Warren. But
she told The Philadelphia Inquir-
er for a story published Wednes-
day that most ultrasounds would
be performed through the wom-
ans belly.
Any doctor who wanted to
proceed to transvaginal ultra-
sound would have to have a good
reason, Rapp told the paper.
After the bill passed out of
committee in early February,
Rapp issued a statement casting
it as a matter of informed
choice.
At the most fundamental its
about respecting women by
trusting her with all the facts to
make a truly informed decision
regarding the human life she is
carrying, Rapp said.

T
he 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Ap-
peals on Wednesday affirmed the
convictions of former Shenandoah

beating of an illegal immigrant in July
2008.
A jury in federal court Wilkes-Barre

Natural gas prices lower
UGI Penn Natural Gas reduced its
charge for purchased gas today. As a
result, the average residential custom-
ers bill will decrease about 4.5 per-
cent, to $94.42 from $98.83.
By law, utilities cannot make a
profit on natural gas they purchase for
delivery to customers. Their earnings
come from the distribution portion of
the bill. Purchased gas rates are ad-
justed quarterly.
The expansion of natural gas drill-
ing in the Marcellus Shale region that
includes northern and western Penn-
sylvania has contributed to the lower
costs, said Vicki O. Ebner, a UGI
spokeswoman.

WILKES-BARRE Sur-
rounded by friends and family
in a packed community room,
89-year-old Sara Mayers said
she wasnt expecting such a
grand send-off.
I was expecting to maybe
go out for dinner and instead I
got this big celebration, said
Mayers, who was honored at a
special luncheon Wednesday
at the Wilkes-Barre Jewish
Community Center for her
more than 60 years of volun-
teer service. Mayers is leaving
the Wyoming Valley to stay
with family in suburban Phila-
delphia.
In the six decades at the
JCC, rarely did a day pass that
Mayers wasnt helping out in
some capacity.
For most of my life it was a
home away from home, she
said.
Mayers days at the JCC
largely were spent organizing
and maintaining groups and
activities. She also performed
in bands and sang.
After her husband, Lou,
died, Mayers started a singles
group for widowers and wid-
ows to come together for
shared support.
Thenthree years agoMayers
started the Laughing Club.
A light-hearted assembly,
the Laughing Club gathered to
tell jokes and share funny sto-
ries.
Mayers even had stand-up
comedians come in and per-
form at the JCC.
Also involved heavily in mu-
sic, Mayers and the JCCs
crooners group performed a
rendition of I Got Rhythm as
Wednesdays celebration got
underway.
Mayers kept that rhythmgo-
ing by immediately switching
fromsingingtoplayingthe vio-
lin.
Anavidviolinist, Mayers has
been a part of the JCCs Klezm-
er Band since its inception. A
type of Jewish music, Klezmer
is traditionally played during
weddings and other celebrato-
ry events.

NANTICOKE Luzerne
County Community College
President Thomas P. Leary said
he believes the college has ad-
dressed the issues that led to its
being placed on probation by an
accrediting commission.
Theres no doubt in my mind
weve made a great deal of pro-
gress. We are confident we have
met the requirements, Leary
said on Wednesday, just before
the school sent a report to the
Middle States Commission on
Higher Education explaining
what the college has done in the
past nine months to justify hav-
ing it released fromprobationary
status.
The approximately 30-page
document, filed electronically a
day before todays deadline,
spells out howthe college has ad-
dressed concerns and made im-
provements since the commis-
sions June 2011decision to place
the school on probation.
The decision came after the
college failed to demonstrate
compliance in four areas -- ad-
ministration, institutional as-
sessment, general education and
assessment of student learning,
according to the commissions
website.
Leary said that in addition to
curriculum issues, administra-
tion staffing has been addressed.
He said Deborah Vilegi-Peters
has been hired as dean of nursing
and health sciences, and the
search process has begun for two
other positions dean of enroll-
ment management and student
development and dean of institu-
tional effectiveness and assess-
ment.
The commission places an in-
stitutiononprobationwhenit be-
lieves an institutions noncompli-
ance with accreditation stan-
dards is sufficiently serious, ex-
tensive or acute and raises
concerns about the adequacy of
the education provided by an in-
stitution, the capacity to make
appropriate improvements in a
timely fashion or to sustain itself
inthe longterm, accordingtothe
commission website.
Middle States accreditation is
a stamp of approval required for
the institution to operate and re-
ceive government subsidy. With-
out it, credits and degrees from
the institution are not recog-
nized by other schools, said Ri-
chard Pokrass, a commission
spokesman.
The Philadelphia-based orga-
nization accredits colleges and
universities in the Mid-Atlantic
region.
In a prior interview, Pokrass
said It appears the institution is
taking the matter very serious-
ly.
A committee from the com-
mission, composed of educators
ledbya communitycollege presi-
dent at a peer institution, will vis-
it the campus on March 12 and
13. None of the committee mem-
bers would be from Pennsylva-
nia, Pokrass said.
The group will verify what the
college said it has done and then
will file a report toMiddle States.
The commission will furnish a fi-
nal report to the college by June
28 with its findings and decision.
Pokrass noted five possible
outcomes ranging from the re-
moval of LCCC from probation
to the worst and most unlikely
option, having accreditation de-
nied.
Its a serious matter, but noth-
ing that shows the loss of accred-
itation is imminent, Pokrass
said.

AVOCA Walk in, put your
stocking feet on the yellowfoot
shapes and raise your hands.
Withinasecondor so, magnetic
waves will scan to, but not
through, your skin. A generic
outline of a human a sort of
gingerbread
man in a hold-up
-- appears on a
screen, with yel-
low shapes not-
ing where you
may have left
your cellphone
or a gun, or a
plastic explo-
sive.
The full-body scanner, offi-
cially calledadvancedimaging
technology has come to the
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Inter-
national Airport. The scanner
has been in use for a fewweeks
as Transportation Security Ad-
ministration workers went
through 30-hour training ses-
sions, TSA spokeswoman Ann
Davis said, but it was shown to
the media at a press conference
Wednesday morning.
The scanner uses harmless
magnetic waves that scan only
outside the body to detect po-
tential metal and non-metallic
threats, Davis said. That means
it will not go off if you have an
artificial joint, something that
triggers traditional metal detec-
tors. It also means the scanner
will detect items the metal de-
tector misses, soif apersongets
a clean scan, there is no pat
down. And if something is de-
tected, theTSAscreener knows
exactly where to check.
Usingthescanner isoptional,
Davis said, thoughthe only oth-
er choice is to walk through a
metal detector and be patted
down. Removing shoes and
emptying pockets is still re-
quiredbefore enteringthe scan-
ner.
The device has been in use
for testing and tweaking since
2007, when it was first intro-
duced in Phoenix and evoked
angry responses from people
who felt the images of individu-
al bodies were too detailed and
revealing. New software was
added that replaces the actual
body image with the generic
one and turns the image of po-
tential threats into rough yel-
low shapes to denote location.
As several employees walked
through the scanner to show
how it works, the TSA officer
pushed a blue button for a male
passenger and a green button
for a female passenger. If noth-
ingwas detected, nothingcame
up on the screen other than
OK on a green field.
If something is detected, the
image appears, but Davis said
once the officer presses a but-
ton to clear the screen, the im-
age is gone, it cannot be
brought back, its not stored
anywhere.
About 500 scanners have
been put into use across the
country, with another 500 ex-
pected to be deployed this year,
Davis said. They cost between
$130,000 and $150,000 each,
and the tab is picked up by the
TSA. For the airport, the scan-
ner was free.

PLAINS TWP. When infant
Brynlee Manfre came into this
world Wednesday, she joined an
elite club, one more exclusive
than even the celebrated New
Years babies.
Born at 10:53 a.m. at Geis-
inger Wyoming Valley Medical
Center to Elizabeth and Wesley
Manfre of Luzerne, Brynlee was
the first baby born in Luzerne
County on Leap Day 2012.
Hazleton General Hospital
spokeswoman Leigh Ann Wie-
dlich said a woman in labor
arrived at that hospital around
3 p.m. and was expected to
deliver a second Leap Day baby
later that evening.
Its exciting, because its
different, Wesley Manfre said.
Theres a slogan: leap year
babies; forever young.
Because Feb. 29 occurs only
once every four years an
addition to account for the fact
that a solar year is actually 5
hours and 48 minutes longer
than a standard calendar year
Elizabeth Manfre said the fam-
ily will celebrate Brynlees
birthday on March 1 in non-leap
years.
Our birthdays go like that,
Elizabeth Manfre said. Wesley
is January, (son) Kyle is Febru-
ary, Brynlee would be March
and mine is April.
Statistically speaking, Leap
Day babies are pretty rare. The
extra day occurs once every
1,461 days, and the Honor So-
ciety of Leap Year Day Babies
an organization claiming nearly
10,000 members from around
the world, all born on Feb. 29
estimates there are about 5
million leapers on the earth.

NANTICOKEAmanaccused
of manufacturing methampheta-
mine inside a Mocanaqua house
was arraigned Wednesday on
charges he stole items from a
store while under the influence of
heroin.
PoliceallegetheyspottedBrian
Eugene Engle Jr., 26, and Nathan
Wright, 20, staggering on West
Main Street and entering the Tur-
key Hill just before 11 p.m. Tues-
day. Police kept watch on the two
men inside the store, where they
separated, with Engle pacing ais-
les andWright distracting a clerk.
After Engle and Wright left the
store, police stopped them.
Police allege Engle removed
items from his pockets that he
had stolen fromthe store. Wright
was foundinpossessionof syring-
es wrapped in a bandanna, a
spoon with heroin residue and
two heroin packets, police allege.
Police said Engle later turned
over a bag containing seven emp-
ty heroin packets and a syringe
that was hiddeninhis underwear.
Engle is facing charges by the
state Office of Attorney General
that he manufactured metham-
phetamine in-
side a Mocana-
qua house in Ja-
nuary. The
meth lab
caught fire the
night before En-
gle was arrest-
ed by state
agents on Jan. 10, according to ar-
rest records.
Engle was released from the
Luzerne County Correctional Fa-
cility on Feb. 22, when his bail of
$50,000 was modified to unse-
cured bail after he waived his
right to a preliminary hearing on
the methamphetamine related
charges, court records say.
Engle, of Bilby Hill Road,
Shickshinny, was arraigned in
Wilkes-Barre Central Court on
eight counts of possessionof drug
paraphernalia, and one count
each of retail theft and public
drunkenness. He was jailed at the
county prison for lack of $5,000
bail.
Wright, address listedas home-
less, was charged with four
counts of possession of drug par-
aphernalia and a single count of
public drunkenness. He was re-
leased on $5,000 unsecured bail.

WILKES-BARRE A Hanov-
er Township woman charged in
connection with a deadly home
invasion will face a trial in June
with her co-defendant, a judge
said Tuesday.
Theresa Daniels, 23, of Ha-
nover Village, will stand trial on
June 4 along with co-defendant
David Alan Rausch, 17, Judge
Fred Pierantoni said.
Daniels faces 27 counts relat-
ing to the home invasions while
Rausch faces 29 charges, accord-
ing to court papers.
Daniels was charged in the
Feb. 8 incident at a Hunlock
Township trailer on Old Tavern
Road, where 44-year-old Robert
Muntz was shot and killed.
Investigators allege Muntz,
Rausch and Theresa Daniels
went to the trailer so Muntz
could collect money and proper-
ty.
A masked Muntz, armed with
a stolen .22-caliber handgun,
stormed into the trailer and
confronted a sleeping Laton in a
bedroom, investigators allege.
Bowman said she fired two
shots, striking Muntz once in
the head.
WILKES-BARRE A Moun-
tain Top man pleaded guilty
Tuesday to charges stemming
from three separate incidents
last year.
Eric Bradford, 42, of Snyders
Lane, entered the plea to two
counts of receiving stolen prop-
erty and one count each of theft
by unlawful taking and retail
theft.
County Judge Fred Pierantoni
said Bradford will be sentenced
on April 20.
According to court papers, on
Jan. 28, 2011, Scott Wagner
reported to police that $15,185
worth of valuables were taken
from a trailer owned by him and
his wife, including loose change
and two clocks.
On Aug. 9, police said Brad-
ford took $1,083 worth of ciga-
rettes from a Turkey Hill store,
and in October, he took $60
from a womans wallet that was
on the counter of a McDonalds
restaurant in Mountain Top.
WILKES-BARRE A county
judge has scheduled a hearing
for attorneys to present argu-
ments on why a teens case
should be heard in juvenile
court rather than in adult court.
Judge Joseph Sklarosky Jr.
said a hearing for Cody Lee, 18,
will be held on May 29.
Lee is charged in the Decem-
ber 2009 shooting death of his
great-grandfather, 80-year-old
Herbert Lee.
Cody Lees attorneys have
sought to have the case held in
juvenile court because Lee was
16 when the crime occurred.
The hearing had been delayed
recently due to rulings in the
case.
COURT BRIEFS
NANTICOKE Police said
Richard Opalski, 50, of South
Walnut Street, struck his wife,
Loretta, broke her cellphone and
threwit at her at their residence
Tuesday night.
In arrest papers filed Wednes-
day, police said:
Loretta Opalski said her hus-
band was intoxicated and yelled
at her in an argument about him
wanting her to leave the resi-
dence. When she refused, he
broke her cellphone, threwit at
her and hit her on the top of her
head, possibly with his fist, caus-
ing a minor brush burn and swell-
ing.
The broken phone was on the
floor of the apartment and items
were strewn about as if an alterca-
tion occurred. Richard Opalski
was intoxicated and said he and
his wife were talking and that
nothing happened. He had
scratches on his hands, consistent
with a physical altercation.
Richard Opalski was charged
with simple assault and harass-
ment, arraigned by District Judge

Intermediate Unit Executive
Director Hal Bloss lauded
the efforts of the LIUboard of
directors on Wednesday
night for the building project
that will revamp the Plains
Alternative Learning Center.
He also credited the staff
members at the center for
their hard work.
We want to provide a posi-
tive educational and social al-
ternative to the youngsters of
Luzerne County, Bloss said.
He said bids for the project
have been received but were
still being reviewed.
Bloss said the estimated
cost of the project is $4 mil-
lion. He said it would be well
worth the effort of improving
the environment for students
attending the center.
Wednesday nights meet-
ing was held at the Alterna-
tive Learning Center to allow
board members to familiar-
ize themselves with the
structure and staff at the cen-
ter.
The schools mission state-
ment stresses maximizing
academic potential, modify-
ing behaviors and promoting
mutual respect among at risk
students.
George Cheponis, director
of crisis management at the
center, stressed the benefit of
parental support and involve-
ment.
In another matter, Filome-
na Covert, director of curri-
culum and instruction, said
the LIU is evaluating its
teachers utilizing classroom
observation and evaluation
to provide the teachers with
useful feedback.

HARRISBURG
Sandusky delay denied
T
he judge in Jerry Sanduskys 52-
count child sex abuse case is reject-
ing a defense attorneys request for a
two-month delay in the start of the
Pennsylvania trial.
Judge John Cleland issued an order
Wednesday that said pushing back the
trial will only be done as a last resort
and will require concrete reasons to
justify it.
Cleland is giving Sandusky lawyer
Joe Amendola three extra weeks to file
a catch-all pretrial motion that had
been due Thursday.
The 68-year-old Sandusky denies
allegations he engaged in sexual mis-
conduct involving 10 boys over 15
years. Hes confined to his home while
awaiting trial, which is expected to
start in mid-May.
Sandusky is the former longtime
defensive coordinator at Penn State.
He founded a charity for children
where prosecutors say he found vic-
tims.
JERUSALEM
Israeli PM visiting U.S.
Israels prime minister sets off this
week on a U.S. visit clouded by a dee-
pening rift with Washington, which is
pressing Israel to hold off on any attack
against Irans suspect nuclear program.
Although Israel says it hasnt decided
whether to strike, it has signaled read-
iness to do so a move that would
have deep worldwide implications.
Senior Israeli officials say Israel
would have to act by summer in order
to be effective. U.S. officials, wary that
an Israeli strike could drive up oil pric-
es and entangle the U.S. in a new Mid-
east military confrontation during the
presidential election season, want to
give diplomacy and sanctions more
time to work.
RICHMOND, VA.
Cigarette images blocked
A judge on Wednesday blocked a
federal requirement that would have
begun forcing U.S. tobacco companies
to put large graphic images on their
cigarette packages later this year to
show the dangers of smoking and en-
couraging smokers to quit lighting up.
U.S. District Judge Richard Leon in
Washington ruled that the federal man-
date to put the images, which include a
sewn-up corpse of a smoker and a pic-
ture of diseased lungs, on cigarette
packs violate the free speech amend-
ment to the Constitution.
He had temporarily blocked the
requirement in November, saying it
was likely cigarette makers will suc-
ceed in a lawsuit, which could take
years to resolve. That decision already
is being appealed by the government.
MOBILE, ALA.
3 missing in copter crash
As divers searched the muddy bot-
tom of Alabamas Mobile Bay, a salvage
ship was dispatched Wednesday to the
sunken wreckage of a U.S. Coast Guard
helicopter that crashed on a training
mission, leaving one crewmember dead
and three others missing.
Officials said the search would con-
tinue through the night throughout the
choppy bay in the hope of finding survi-
vors.
The MH-65C helicopter crashed
Tuesday evening near Point Clear, Ala.
One crewmember was found unrespon-
sive and later declared dead, the Coast
Guard said.
Names of the four crewmembers
have not been released.

Making the most of a storm
A snowmobiler plows through 7 inch-

Brainer, Minn. A winter storm passed
through Central Minnesota on Tues-
day night dropping the largest snow-
fall of the winter season.
WASHINGTON In an apparent
breakthrough in long-stalled negotia-
tions, North Korea has agreed to sus-
pendits uraniumenrichment andnucle-
ar and long-range missile tests, the
North Koreans and U.S. officials said
Wednesday. The United States is to pro-
vide food aid in return.
The simultaneous announcements in
Pyongyang and Washington pointed to-
ward an easing of nuclear tensions un-
der newleader KimYoungUnandcould
clear the way for resumption of the mul-
tination disarmament-for-aid talks that
the North withdrew from in 2009.
The accord also opens the way for in-
ternational nuclear inspections after
years when the Norths program went
unmonitored.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham
Clinton called the North Korean an-
nouncement a modest first step but al-
so a reminder that the world is trans-
forming around us.
Coming just over two months after
the death of longtime ruler KimJong Il,
it seemed to signal a willingness by the
reclusive North Korean government to
improve ties with the U.S. and win crit-
ical assistance. It still falls far short of an
agreement to abandon the nuclear
weapons program that Pyongyang has
seemed to view as key to the govern-
ments survival.
In a key concession, North Korea said
it had agreed to allow International
Atomic Energy Agency inspectors to
verifyandmonitor amoratoriumonura-
nium enrichment activities at its main
Yongbyon nuclear complex, a program
that the North unveiled to visiting U.S.
academics in 2010.
Uranium enrichment could give it a
second route to manufacture nuclear
weapons, in addition to its existing plu-
tonium-based program. At low levels,
uranium can be used in power reactors,
but at higher levels it can be used in nu-
clear bombs. The North has conducted
two nuclear tests since 2006 and has
conducted a long-range rocket test, in
defiance of United Nations Security
Council resolutions.
IAEA monitors will also confirm dis-
ablement of a nuclear reactor at Yongby-
on and associated facilities, the U.S.
said.
Clinton said the United States will
meet with North Korea to finalize de-
tails for a proposed package of 240,000
metric tons of food aid, referring to it as
nutritional assistance. She said that
intensive monitoring of the aid would
be required a reflection of U.S. con-
cerns that food could be diverted to the
Norths powerful military. The U.S. said
there was the prospect of additional as-
sistance based on continued need.

NEW YORK The price of
gas has jumped 45 cents since
Jan. 1andis the highest onrecord
for this time of year, an average of
$3.73 a gallon. On Wall Street,
talk has turned from the Europe-
an debt crisis to another worry:
Will higher gas prices derail the
economic recovery?
Not yet, economists say. They
argue that the United States is in
much better shape than early last
year, when a similar surge in fuel
prices weighed on economic
growth by squeezing household
budgets. Americans spent less on
clothes, foodandeverythingelse.
Rising gas prices hurt less
when an economy is improving
than when its slowing down. So
economists expect other spend-
ing wont be badly hurt, at least
for now. If gas breaks its record of
$4.11 a gallon, however, all bets
are off.
Can the economy withstand
the increase weve seen so far?
The answer is yes, says David
Kelly, chief market strategist at
J.P. Morgan Funds.
The reasons:
Jobs. The country has added
2 million over the past year.
Those 2 million people with pay-
checks will spend them, which
helps the economy. Lower unem-
ployment also makes people feel
better about the economy and
less likely to cut other spending
way back.
Job security. Unemployment
claims, the best measure of lay-
offs, are at a four-year low. Fewer
Americans are worrying about
losing their job, so they can take
the punch of higher gas prices
and move on.
A steadier housing market,
the Dow Jones industrial aver-
ages clearing 13,000 and other
signs of an improving economy
also help. Add themtogether and
consumer confidence is the high-
est in a year. More confidence
makes people more likely to keep
spending on other things even if
gas goes up.
The public will howl as we ap-
proach $4 gas, but they will prob-
ably continue to increase spend-
ing, says Carl Riccadonna, a se-
nior economist at Deutsche
Bank.

HARRISBURG, Ill. A pre-dawn
twister flattened entire blocks of homes
ina small Illinois townWednesday as vio-
lent storms ravaged the Midwest and
South, killing at least 12 people in three
states.
Winds also ripped through the country
music mecca of Branson, Mo., damaging
some of the citys famous theaters just
days before the start of the busy tourist
season.
The tornado that blasted Harrisburg in
southern Illinois, killing six, was an EF4,
the second-highest rating given to twist-
ers based on damage. Scientists said it
was 200 yards wide with winds up to 170
mph.
Bymidday, townspeopleinthecommu-
nityof 9,000were sortingthroughpiles of
debris andrememberingtheir deadwhile
the winds still howled around them.
Not long after the storm, Darrell Os-
man raced to his mothers home, arriving
just intime to speak to her before she was
takentoahospital withaheadinjury, ase-
vere cut toher neckanda brokenarmand
leg.
She was conscious. I wouldnt say she
wasa coherent. There were more mum-
bles than anything, he said. She knew
we were there.
Mary Osman died a short time later.
Thetwister that rakedBransonseemed
to hopscotch up the citys main roadway,
moving fromside to side.
At least 37 people were reported hurt,
but most suffered only cuts and bruises.
After the start of Bransons peakseasonin
mid-March, up to 60,000 visitors would
have been in hotels on any given day.
In Missouri, one person was killed in a
trailer park in the town of Buffalo. Two
more fatalities were reported in the Cass-
ville and Puxico areas.
Three people were reported killed in
easternTennessee two inCumberland
County and another in DeKalb County as
storms that dropped pingpong ball-sized
hail in some areas collapsed homes.

tened in multiple cities in Kentucky, in-

CHARDON, Ohio The teenager
suspected in an Ohio school shooting
struggled with a broken family and did
poorly in school, then appeared to turn
himself around once he was taken in
by grandparents and began to attend
an alternative school, longtime neigh-
bors and friends said Wednesday.
To a person, they expressed disbe-
lief at how the quiet but friendly boy
could now be a suspect in a shooting
that left three people dead and appears
to have involved a gun
that disappeared from
his grandfathers
barn.
T.J. was a very fine
person, Carl Hender-
son, a longtime neigh-
bor of the suspects
grandparents, Tho-
mas and Michelle Lane, said Wednes-
day. Nice-looking man, very friendly,
spoke to you, carried a conversation
with you.
The gun, a .22 caliber revolver, was
noticed as missing after Mondays
shootings and fits the description of
the pistol that reportedly was used to
kill three students and wound two oth-
ers at Chardon High School, said Hen-
derson, a retired police officer and for-
mer Geauga County sheriff. He said he
has spoken to the grandfather, Tho-
mas Lane, about the gun.
The suspects grandfather believes
the gun is the same, because the gun
was there the day before, in the barn,
said Henderson, 74, who says hes
been friends with the boys family for
nearly 50 years.
A law enforcement official familiar
with the investigation said the gun
used in the shooting, a Ruger .22-cali-
ber Mark III target pistol, was bought
legally in August 2010 from a gun shop
in Mentor, Ohio.
Lane, 17, admitted taking a pistol
and a knife to the 1,100-student Char-
don High and firing 10 shots at a group
of students sitting at a cafeteria table,
prosecutor David Joyce said.
School shooting suspect may have used relatives gun

that was in his barn Sunday is now
missing, a family friend says.

EXETER Wyoming Area Su-
perintendent RaymondBernardi
on Tuesday night presented to
the school board and a large
crowd of residents a cost com-
parison between closing JFK
Elementary in Exeter and Sarah
J. Dymond Elementary in Hard-
ing.
The district is considering
closing one of the two schools
and turning the other into a kin-
dergarten center.
Included in the plan would be
turning the10th Street School in
Wyoming into an elementary
center for grades one through
three and the Montgomery Ave-
nue School in West Pittston into
a center for grades four through
six.
Partly because of needed cap-
ital projects, the Dymond clos-
ing would represent more sav-
ings to the district. Bernardi pre-
sented projections that showed
declining enrollments among
elementary students over the
next few years.
Concerned residents asked
the board many questions about
the possible closing of Dymond.
This is heartbreaking. I didnt
get on the board to close build-
ings, board member Carl Yorina
said. But he explained that even
after major cost cutting, the dis-
trict still had a huge shortfall to
consider due to the loss of state
and federal funding.
The board said it will have a
public meeting about the possi-
ble school closings on March 19.
Inother business, the boardre-
turned to committee a strong an-
ti-nepotismhiring policy for pro-
fessional employees. The policy
presented at Tuesday nights
meeting reflects changes from
the policy proposed at last
weeks work session.
The former policy had been
criticized because it contained a
loophole for hiring family mem-
bers of board members. The new
policy would close that loophole
and provide that no teacher who
is related to a member of the
board may be employed by the
district.
Board member Mary Louise
Degnansaidthe policy isnt com-
plete and hiring practices need
to be added to the policy. When
asked by a resident if the intent
was to add non-professional per-
sonnel to the policy, she said her
goal was to have all hiring mimic
the new policy.
After one resident praised the
board for its strong stance
against nepotism, he asked if the
policy wouldremainas strong af-
ter being sent to committee.
Board President Frank Casa-
rella said that was the boards in-
tention. The audience broke into
applause.
In another matter, the district
will save $105,000 as a result of
the reissue of 2005 bonds that
the school board voted to adopt.
The districts bond interest
rate was reduced from 3.9 per-
cent to 1.64 percent.

WILKES-BARRE AHazleton
man charged in 10 robbery, theft
or drug-related incidents was
sentenced Tuesday to 3 to 7
years in state prison on18 related
charges.
Joseph Stevens, with a last
known address of East Diamond
Avenue, was sentenced by Lu-
zerne County Judge Fred Pieran-
toni on one count each of crimi-
nal attempt, robbery, criminal
conspiracy, possession of a small
amount of marijuana, criminal
trespass, theft by unlawful tak-
ing, possession of drug parapher-
nalia and criminal mischief, two
counts of forgery, three counts of
receiving stolen property and
five counts of access device
fraud.
Stevens attorney, Allyson Kac-
marski, said her clients several-
monthcrime spree was the result
of a drug addiction.
On Tuesday, Stevens had a
message for the victims of his
crimes:
I take full responsibility.
There is no reason for people to
be victimized (as a result of my
actions). Ive realized that while
incarcerated, he said.
Stevens said he wanted to let
the victims in each case know
that he is sorry for the things he
has done and wants to live a bet-
ter life. None of the victims in the
cases was present in court Tues-
day.
(It was) a downward spiral,
he said. Imsorry for everything
Ive done.
Kacmarski said Stevens has
completed a drug-and-alcohol
programduringthe18months he
has been at the county prison,
and asked that her client be able
to stay at there to participate in
work release to pay the restitu-
tion owed just over $9,000.
Assistant District Attorney Al-
bert Yacoub said he believed a
prison sentence was appropriate
due to the nature of Stevens
crimes. Yacoub noted that if Pie-
rantoni sentenced Stevens to the
maximum on each charge con-
secutive to one another, he could
have facednearly16to32years in
prison.
In the most serious case in
which Stevens was sentenced on
a robbery and criminal conspir-
acy charge, police alleged that on
Jan. 17, 2009, he and five others
went to a Hazle Township home
to confront Brandon Card to take
money and marijuana from him.
Police said Stevens stayed out-
side wearing a mask while the
others took money and items
from the home.
In some of the other cases Ste-
vens was sentenced on:
Police said Stevens stole the
wallet of Ryan Keith Gensel on
June 21, from a vehicle parked
outside an Alter Street, Hazle-
ton, home. Police said an ATM
card was used to make purchases
at several businesses and with-
drawals were made totaling$166.
On July 3, police said Angel
Mumie reporteda wallet was tak-
en from her unlocked vehicle on
West Chapel Street in Hazleton.
Police said Stevens used Mu-
mies credit card at a grocery
store.

Six are injured in a crash in Ashley
PETE G. WILCOX/THE TIMES LEADER
Ashley police returned to the scene Wednesday morning after a three-vehicle crash that injured six people Tuesday night. Police Chief Phillip Collot-
ty said the investigation is continuing to determine the cause of the crash that occurred just after 10 p.m. A Chevrolet Blazer operated by Carl Yeager
of Sugar Notch was southbound on North Main Street when it struck a Jeep Cherokee driven by Rebecca Smith of Larksville, police said. The Blazer
lost a front wheel and traveled approximately 300 feet where it struck a utility pole near the intersection with Hazleton Street and a Mitsubishi sedan
operated by Justina Schell of Hanover Township, police said. The Blazer rolled onto its side against the Mitsubishi and Yeager was partially ejected
and pinned beneath the Blazer, police said. A passenger, Jonathan Stempien of White Haven, was trapped inside the vehicle, police said. The two men
were later freed from the wreckage. Two other adults and two children were taken to area hospitals for evaluation. North Main Street was closed ap-
proximately three hours from Hazleton Street to Cemetery Street while police investigated the crash and Verizon workers removed downed wires.
WILKES-BARRE A city
man charged with having a role
in a $3.6 million cocaine distri-
bution ring was sentenced
Wednesday to three to six years
in state prison.
Kenneth Koonrad, 28, of
Grove Street, was sentenced on
charges of corrupt organiza-
tions, possession with intent to
deliver and criminal use of a
communication facility by coun-
ty Judge Tina Polachek Gartley.
Koonrad pleaded guilty to the
charges in April 2010.
The drug ring was busted
when undercover agents on
March 6, 2009, simultaneously
raided the Outlaws Motorcycle
Club clubhouse and a members
home, as well as four other
locations.
Investigators said they made
about 30 controlled cocaine
purchases from several mem-
bers beginning in July 2008.
Court papers also indicate
Koonrad accompanied another
member to a drug deal where
they allegedly sold cocaine to a
police informant.
WILKES-BARRE A Shick-
shinny man convicted of first-
degree murder and sentenced to
life in prison in the hatchet
slaying of his ex-girlfriend filed
court papers Wednesday stating
why he is appealing his convic-
tion and sentence to the state
Superior Court.
John Stone, 59, was convicted
at a September trial and sen-
tenced in November to life in
prison by Judge David Lupas.
Prosecutors say Stone used a
13-inch hatchet in the early
morning hours of Oct. 24, 2010,
to deliver 12 blows to Catherine
Tabit, 37, of Kingston.
Stone said in court papers
filed Wednesday he is appealing
because a judge incorrectly
threw out testimony from an
expert witness that Stone did
not premeditate the murder,
allowed an expert to testify
about blood spatter who had no
available certifications and re-
fused to instruct the jury on
self-defense.
WILKES-BARRE A woman
accused of stealing more than
$130,000 from her employer
waived her right to a prelimina-
ry hearing in Wilkes-Barre Cen-
tral Court on Wednesday.
Denise Zbierski, 35, of Cleve-
land Street, Plains Township,
waived a single count of theft to
Luzerne County Court.
City police withdrew a single
count of tampering with records
against Zbierski.
Police allege Zbierski stole
$130,866 from MotorWorld
Automotive Group from Decem-
ber 2010 through December,
according to the criminal com-
plaint.
Zbierski was employed at
MotorWorld as a payroll admin-
istrator. She allegedly admitted
to stealing the money due to
credit card bills and a gambling
addiction, the criminal com-
plaint says.
COURT BRIEFS
NUANGOLA The Nuangola
Sewer Authority on Tuesday
night continued debating issues
linked to its proposed sewer pro-
ject.
There was no major resolution
other than the state Department
of Environmental Protections
approval of a revised Act 537
plan is still essential in order for
the long-discussed sewer system
to move forward.
Reacting to a DEP determina-
tion that Nuangolas plan is ad-
ministratively incomplete, au-
thority solicitor Robert Gonos
said he thinks DEP has techni-
cally approved the plan, but he
conceded there are issues that
must be addressed.
Alfred Benesch Engineers of
Pottsville must communicate
with the authoritys engineer,
Quad3 of Wilkes-Barre, to ad-
dress plan deficiencies raised by
DEP.
Rich Kresge, project engineer
for Quad3, said he has been in
contact with Jacqueline Peles-
chak, project engineer for Bene-
sch, toconvey whatever informa-
tion Benesch needs to satisfy
DEP.
Kresge said his firm is still
hopeful of meeting a deadline for
the solicitation of bids by the
latter part of March. But, he
added, this date is contingent up-
on final approval of the Act 537
plan.
At stake also is $6 millionfrom
Fulton Bank of Lancaster as well
as more than $6 million in fund-
ing from the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, Rural Develop-
ment. Officials say USDA funds
will be used to pay off the debt to
Fulton.
It was also noted that Joe Gib-
bons, Luzerne County engineer,
has told the authority the county
wants the authority to fully reim-
burse the county for any damage
done to Blytheburn Road.
Gibbons has told the authority
that the road was repaved at a
cost of $600,000 in 2009-2010. A
major portion of the proposed
sewage line has beendesignedto
follow Blytheburn Road, and
Kresge said Gibbons wants as-
surances that the authority will
restore the road to its current
state before Gibbons office ap-
proves a permit for the project..
In a more optimistic note, Go-
nos said Ted Grevinski, loan offi-
cer for Fulton, said he is happy
that council and the authority
are cooperating and that DEP
has given its technical accept-
ance.
Gonos also said Grevinski
wants to get moving on prepar-
ing loan documents, but closing
is still contingent on approval of
the Act 537 plan.
Also discussed was a commu-
nication from Rice Township
about its concerns about poten-
tial blasting and its effects on
roads, private and public proper-
ties, swales and dams.
Authority Chairman David Pe-
kar again repeated that blasting
will be a last resort. But Kresge
said DEP is not comfortable
with a resolution banning blast-
ing that was enacted recently by
Rice Township.

funding and the countys

WILKES-BARRE A Hazle-
ton man accused of burglarizing
a home and attempting to flee
was convicted of five related
charges this week.
Juan Toro Toro, 27, of Cedar
Street, was found guilty of bur-
glary, criminal trespassing, pos-
sessing an instrument of crime
and two counts of criminal con-
spiracy, after a jury deliberated
for about 2 hours late Tuesday.
Luzerne County Senior Judge
Kenneth Brown said a sentenc-
ing hearing will be scheduled
and ordered Toro to comply with
the conditions of his previously
posted bail.
Toro, whose trial began Mon-
day, was charged on Jan. 25,
2011, after police were called to
an East Diamond Avenue, Hazle-
ton, home ona report of a burgla-
ry.
When police arrived, they no-
ticed a door was damaged and
gouge marks on the door frame.
While inside the home, police
heard footsteps in the basement,
and observed two men, later
identified as Toro and Jimmy Ve-
lez, who they ordered to lay on
the floor.
Court papers say the two men
turned and tried to flee out a
basement door that was locked.
When they realized the door was
locked, Toro and Velez complied
with officers commands.
Police saidthey discoveredTo-
ro had a black knife with a bro-
ken 2-inch blade that they sus-
pectedwas usedtobreakintothe
home.
Velez, 29, of Winter Avenue,
West Hazleton, pleaded guilty to
a relatedburglarycharge inJanu-
ary.
He was sentenced earlier this
week to 13 months to four years
in county prison, and will be pa-
roled when a plan is in place, ac-
cording to court papers.
Velez received credit for 399
days of time already served in
prison, and was also ordered to
complete50hours of community
service.
Toro, 27, found guilty of burglary and related charges

Deeply Missed By
Parents, Daughter, Brothers & Sisters,
Grandson, Family & Friends
God looked around His garden
and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face.
He put His arms around you,
And lifted you to rest.
Gods garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering,
He knew you were in pain
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw that road was getting rough,
And the hills were hard to climb.
So he closed your weary eyelids
And whispered, Peace Be Thine.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone,
For part of me went with you,
The day God called you home.

J
ennie A. Metro, who spent the
first 30 years of her life in
Swoyersville, died quietly at her
home in rural Alabama, on the
morning of Monday, January 23,
2012. At her side was her youngest
son, John, who hadtakencare of her
for many years.
Born at 201 Watkins Street, on
October 17, 1919, she was the eldest
daughter of a Polish coal miner and
a doting mother who refused to
learn English, Anthony B. and Vik-
toria Ference.
Mastering English in school, she
graduated with the Swoyersville
High School, class of 1937, doing
well enough to win a scholarship to
Misericordia University.
To her disappointment, she was
prevented fromcontinuing her edu-
cation and went to work at the A.
Rifkin factory in Wilkes-Barre, sew-
ing thumbs on gloves.
She loved music and dancing. At
a weekend dance, she met Joseph J.
Metro, a local military man, whom
she married.
With him, she left her small town
and, for the next15years, touredthe
United States, seeing the Grand Te-
tons and Yellowstone National Park
in Wyoming, White Sands in New
Mexico, Mt. Olympia in Washing-
ton, Mt. McKinley, andPortage Gla-
cier in Alaska, and survived the
Burk Burnette, Texas, tornado of
1958, and the great Alaska earth-
quake of 1964.
She had two sons, Jim and John,
both of whom earned college de-
grees.
She and her husband retired to
Alabama and lived there together
nearly 20 years.
After Joseph died, she set up
house with her son and lived in the
Birmingham area for the next 30
years.
She lived quietly, reading, taking
walks andeating cookies, whichshe
was especially fond of.
Of the life experiences she re-
layed to her children, her most use-
ful observation was that It is better
to have something and not need it,
than to need it and not have it.
She leaves behind her two sons,
Jim and John Metro, of Birming-
ham, Ala.; four grandchildren, Ja-
cobMetroof Baltimore, Md., Janina
Phillips of Alabaster, Ala., Aniela
Nelson of Knoxville, Tenn., and Ste-
fan B. Metro of Omaha, Neb.; and
four great-grandchildren. She also
leaves her sister, Regina Ference;
and her two brothers, Stanley and
Anthony Ference, of Wyoming.
The funeral Mass was celebrat-
edby Father Thomas Kelly at St. Pe-
ter the Apostle Catholic Church in
Hoover, Ala., on January 25, and a
Memorial Mass by Father Andrew
Kennedyat Our Ladyof Lourdes Ca-
tholic Church in Huffman, Ala., on
February 15. She is buried with her
husband in Forest Crest Cemetery,

E
lizabeth (Lisa) Jane Wilcox
slipped from this world into the
loving arms of her Father God on
Thursday, January 26, 2012. She
died at home, in her bed, with the
dignity and peace she had always
wished for in the last moments of
her life.
Lisa was born on January 2nd,
1958, in Kirkwood, Mo., to her par-
ents, William Hayes and Elizabeth
Brinkoetter, the seventh child of
nine siblings.
She was welcomed in heaven by
her mother and father, and siblings
Judith Hayes, Michael Hayes and
William Hayes.
She is survived by her siblings
Theresa Engel, John Hayes, Tim-
othyHayes, Thomas Hayes andAnn
Hayes-Garcia.
Lisa married Randy Wilcox on
February 17, 1979. They enjoyed a
happy marriage of 33 years. She was
themother of Tanya Pintschandher
husband, Timothy Pintsch, and
Adam Wilcox and his wife, Abby
Wilcox.
She was a loving and proud
grandmother to Nicholas, Trinity,
Elizabeth, Christian, Jeremiah and
Serenity.
Her greatest joy and pride was
her grandchildren, who were lucky
to enjoy a close and loving relation-
ship with their grandmother.
Lisa was self-employed with her
own cleaning business, which she
did with pride and happiness for
over 25 years.
She has served many families
lives over the years, a lot of whom
will miss her, not just for her servic-
es, but for the personal relation-
ships and friendships she built with
many of her clients over the years.
Lisas joys in life were beautifully
simple. She was happiest when sur-
rounded by her family, her faithful
dog, Digit, and a clean and well or-
ganized home.
She loved her Lord and was sure
and strong in her faith. For that we
celebrate her life and her legacy and
we look forwardto seeing her again,
clothed in glorious splendor in a
new perfect body. Philippians 3:20-
21But our citizenship is in heaven.
And we eagerly await a Savior from
there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who,
by the power that enables him to
bring everything under his control,
will transform our lowly bodies so
that they will be like his glorious
body.
Aviewingwill beheldFridayeve-
ning at Desiderio Funeral Home
Inc., 436 S. Mountain Blvd, Moun-
tain Top, from 5 to 7 p.m. A memo-
rial service to celebrate her life will
be Saturday at Cornerstone Chris-
tian Fellowship on 3577 Church
Road, Mountain Top, at 11a.m. with
Pastor Thomas Miller officiating. A
luncheon will follow.

the flowers of the field; the grass

MUNICIPAL BRIEF
born on previous leap days, but
about 3,200babies areborninLu-
zerne County hospitals annually:
about 1,200 at Wilkes-Barre Gen-
eral Hospital, 600 at Hazleton
General Hospital and 1,400 at
Geisinger Wyoming Valley.
In a leap year, then, one would
expect eight or nine babies to be
borneachday, includingleapday.
A search of The Times Leaders
archive revealed that at least five
children have been born on leap
day in the last 12 years.
Melissa Bakers son, Lucas
Miskewicz, is one of those five.
The 8-year-old was born on Leap
Day, 2004.
Sometimes his big brother Mi-
chael and big sister Thomasyna
tease him about not having a
birthday three out of four years,
but Lucas likes the distinction
the unique birthday brings him.
I love it because its fun, he
said.
Being 8, most of Lucas friends
are learning about leap year for
the first time this year, but Lucas
is teaching them, Baker said.
When they were playing bas-
ketball today they were all talk-
ing about it, Baker said.
For those whoneeda refresher,
an extra day was first added to
themonthof Februarius intheJu-
lian Calendar created in 46 B.C.
under Julius Caesar. The practice
was refined in the modern Gre-
gorian Calendar created in 1582
under Pope Gregory XIII, where
it was determined that each year
evenly divisible by four is a leap
year, except for century years not
divisible by 400.
The latter exception resulted
from the fact that the year is
slightly shorter than 365.25 days
long. Those extra minutes addup
to about 3 days over 400 years, re-
quiring correction.

ment worked out between attor-
ney Philip Gelso, who is repre-
senting the court, and Stevens
attorney. Hedidnot knowwhois
representing Stevens.
Under the overall circum-
stances, this was both a neces-
sary and appropriate step,
Burke said.
Stevens, of the law firm Py-
rah/Stevens in Kingston, has
come under fire based on a
Times Leader investigation that
revealed she repeatedly double
billed the county for delivering
fee petitions to the courthouse
in 2011.
Stevens was among 18 attor-
neys the county retained last
year to represent parents whose
children have been taken away
by Children and Youth Services
based on allegations of abuse or
neglect.
Stevens has admitted she
made errors in the billings. She
advised the county on Monday
that her firmhas hired a forensic
auditing firm to review her bill-
ings.
Luzerne County is seeking
proposals for its ownforensic au-
dit of the special legal services
account fromwhich Stevens and
other attorneys were paid. The
proposals are due by March 9.
STEVENS
viewed the bills before they were
approved for payment.
Most of bills for services in2011
have been paid, but there are
somethat remainoutstanding, in-
cluding $39,080 in fees that were
submitted for payment on Mon-
day by attorney Jami Brown of
Wilkes-Barre.
Burke said he determined
Brownsbills, aswell asanyothers
that may be submitted for pay-
ment from2011, needtobe exam-
inedbasedonthelackof initial re-
view. Bills submitted for services
in2012will alsobe reviewedfrom
here on, he said.
Burke and Shucosky said the
courtsalsoareworkingtoaddress
a secondissue the lack of guide-
lines relating to the types of ser-
vices for which court appointed
attorneys can, and cannot,
charge.
The Times Leaders review of
invoices submitted by Stevens
and other attorneys who handled
the Children and Youth cases
showedseveral chargedthe coun-
ty one hour for creating their fee
petitions. The attorneys were
paid $55 per hour.
Shucosky said he questions
whether that charge should have
been permitted, but the courts
may not be able to challenge the
feegiventherewerenoguidelines
dictating the services for which
the attorneys could bill.
Judge Tina Polachek Gartley,
who approved the payments, has
said attorneys were guided by
their normal billing practices in
their private practices.
Shucosky said the courts as-
sumed attorneys would be rea-
sonable and truthful.
The court is working to estab-
lisharigidcodeforbillswithcom-
plete directions on what are and
appropriate charges and what are
not, Shucosky said. There

happened. As far as Im con-
cerned, its done. Why havent
they arrested her?
I cant comment on what the
victimsays, but her version of the
facts is not accurate, First Assist-
ant District Attorney Sam San-
guedolce said. We have an ethni-
cal duty to arrest the right per-
son.
Sanguedolce said Nanticoke
police recently turned over their
investigationtobe reviewedbyan
assistant district attorney. A
meeting is scheduled next week
with police to go over the investi-
gation, Mieczkowskis statements
to investigators and any state-
ments made by witnesses.
Mieczkowski has returned to
workas owner of abeautysalonin
Nanticoke while she recovers
from multiple slashes to her face
and neck. Her face and neck
scarred, she continues to feel dis-
comfort from her injuries.
Her friendlypersonalityhas not
missed a beat.
Mieczkowski said her distress
nowlies withthe lackof anarrest.
I picked the girl out of 12 pho-
tos ina lineuptwodays after I was
attacked, and a month ago I
pickedthesamegirl out of thevid-
eo, Mieczkowski said.
She saidsurveillance videothat
was shown to her is black-and-
white and captured the fight that
took place inside the tavern. She
said the video clearly shows the
attacker getting knocked to the
floor, gettinguptofixher hair and
charging at Mieczkowski.
She came right at me, Miecz-
kowski said.
She did concede she had to
watch the video twice before she
identified the woman.
When I saw her, I said that is
definitely her. I had them rewind
it two times because its in black
and white. Once I saw her, I
knew, Mieczkowski said.
Sanguedolce said the video
was not clear regardingwhat ac-
tuallyhappenedinsidethetavern,
and raised questions among in-
vestigators.
Were not goingtofile criminal
charges based on the video, San-
guedolce said. If we bring the
charges and lose, we cant hope
for more evidence. We only have
one shot at this for trial.
Early-morning attack
Mieczkowski said she entered
the tavern a little before 2 a.m.
withher friendRicky Wells tobuy
beer to take home. She ran into
friends and decided to stay for a
drink when a fight broke out, she
said.
Mieczkowski said she did not
realize she had been slashed until
she stood up. She stayed inside
the tavern for a few minutes, was
given a towel by a bar employee
andwalkedoutsidetofindtwopo-
lice officers talking to a bouncer.
Surveillance video shows the
alleged attacker walking outside
the tavernat 2:10a.m., Mieczkow-
ski said.
Mieczkowski said she told the
two officers her attacker was in-
side the tavern but was told to get
into an ambulance. Wells, who
was also assaulted, was driven to
a hospital by a relative.
Police interviewed many
Police said they interviewed a
majority of the patrons who were
in the tavern at the time of the
fight. Mieczkowski estimated
there were about 50 people, with
some of them friends and rela-
tives of her attacker.
She said there are other wit-
nesses, including an employee at
the tavern, who identified the
same woman who attacked her.
If onestephadgonedifferently
that night, (police) would have
had her, Mieczkowski said. Im
back to work and dont want to
put my face out there; at the same
time nothing is being done.
SLASHING
HAZLETON -- Police are
investigating the reported theft
of a green, 1999 Ford Windstar
from the parking lot of the Con-
venient Mart at 51 W. Juniper
St. around 7:25 p.m. on Tues-
day.
Licesauri Tejeda, 23, of Hazle-
ton reported the mini-van was
unattended and the motor run-
ning when it was stolen. The
vehicle possibly has Pennsylva-
nia license plate HTC 0288.
Anyone with information about
the reported theft is asked to
contact Hazleton police at 570
459-4940.
WILKES-BARRE Antwon
Leon Bickerstaff, 28, of South
Grant Street, was arraigned
Wednesday on driving under the
influence charges filed in Janu-
ary after police said they found
him slumped over the steering
wheel of a car at the intersec-
tion of Wilkes-Barre Boulevard
and Conyngham Avenue.
Bickerstaff showed signs of
intoxication and agreed to a
portable breath test, police said.
The test was positive and he
was arrested and taken to police
headquarters for a legal breath
test that measured his blood
alcohol concentration at 0.114
percent. An adult driver in the
state is considered legally in-
toxicated with a BAC reading of
0.08 percent. Bickerstaff ap-
peared before District Judge
Martin Kane who committed
him to the Luzerne County
Correctional Facility for lack of
$2,000 bail.
PLYMOUTH Police arrested
two men in connection with the
reported theft Tuesday of a dirt
bike from Nanticoke.
Joshua Kolinoski, 19, of Old
Tavern Road, Hunlock Creek,
and Allen William Randell, 19,
of Richard Street, Kingston,
were charged with receiving
stolen property and conspiracy.
In arrest papers filed Wednes-
day police said: They responded
to the area of Plymouth Liq-
uidation on East Main Street
around 5:05 p.m. Tuesday for a
disorderly group of people. A
group of people were trying to
stop a black pickup from leaving
the parking lot.
Two people tried to get out of
the truck, but police advised
them to stay inside. The driver
who identified himself as Dale
Kobal said Kolinoski and Ran-
dell stole his dirt bike that was
in the back of the truck. But
Kolinoski and Randell said they
found it in the Plymouth flats
area. They became combative
with police and were placed in
handcuffs.
Kobal told police he reported
to Nanticoke police Tuesday
that his motorcycle stolen and
found Randell and Kolinoski
pushing it on East Main Street.
Kolinoski put down the motor-
cycle and told Kobal he could
have it. They argued and Kobal
put the motorcycle in the back
of his pickup truck.
As the group of people started
to leave, Kolinoski took off his
shirt and tried to start a fight.
He came towards the truck, but
Kobal told him to get away from
it. Kolinoski threatened to get a
gun and his friend Randell start-
ed honking a vehicles horn for
someone in a nearby house to
get a gun. Kolinoski did not get
a gun but retrieved a pipe and
came after the group of people.
While in custody Kolinoski
slammed his head against the
protective glass inside a Larks-
ville police cruiser with enough
force the window began to push
out. He was placed in a Ply-
mouth patrol car and Randell
was placed in the Larksville car.
Enroute to the Plymouth
police station, Kolinoski shout-
ed profanities and said he had
scabies. Officers tried to limit
their contact with his skin as he
struggled with them going into
the police station. He was
placed in a holding cell and his
handcuffs were removed. He
then slammed his head against
the cell walls and tried to smash
the cell door, saying he was
going to hurt himself to go
home.
Kolinoski also was charged
with terroristic threats, dis-
orderly conduct, simple assault,
resisting arrest and possessing a
prohibited offense weapon.
He and Randell were ar-
raigned by District Judge Do-
nald Whittaker and released on
$5,000 bail each.

Veterans rally to support
Ron Paul for president
A
bout 400 veterans and active-duty
military personnel held a rally on Pres-
idents Day in Washington for former
Air Force flight surgeon Ron Paul, the
presidential contender.
After speeches and songs, the men and
women marched in formation from the
Washington Monument to the White
House. The groups members did an about-
face, turning their backs to the White
House in a symbolic gesture against the
endless string of undeclared wars and
occupations during the last two adminis-
trations.
They proceeded to stand with arms
saluted for eight minutes, observing one
second of silence for every soldier who has
committed suicide while President Obama
has been commander in chief. This was
followed by nearly 30 minutes of heads
bowed in prayer for each soldier who has
died abroad during this administration.
The emotionally charged gathering
consisted mainly of those people who
served in the Vietnam era as well as the
current global war on terrorism. The
event was led by Marine veteran Adam
Kokesh, who directly addressed Obama,
saying, We believe your policies to be
fundamentally immoral. Mr. Kokesh has
been an advocate for sensible foreign pol-
icy since he returned from Iraq in 2004.
He has been a supporter of Ron Paul
since 2008, noting during his opening
remarks that the congressman has consis-
tently received more donations from ac-
tive-duty military than all other candi-
dates.

Writer glad that Corbett
is promoting gas drilling
I
n his state budget address, Gov. Tom
Corbett said, Our energy-producing
fields continue to generate jobs. How
true that is.
As weve seen in our area, natural gas
production has put thousands of people to
work, and its not only people directly
employed by natural gas drillers. The res-
taurants, hotels, convenience stores and
other businesses that are patronized by
these drilling company employees have
benefited from Marcellus Shale produc-
tion. Without natural gas drilling, our
areas economy would be in much worse
shape.
Gov. Corbett has been a strong leader to
promote and support natural gas drilling,
and there are many Pennsylvanians who
are standing behind him on this issue.
Natural gas drilling has provided jobs and
boosted our economy. Im glad we have a
governor who wants to see this important
industry thrive.

THE NEW health reform
law is expected to create 32
million more insured Amer-
icans, according to the
Congressional Budget Of-
fice. The federal govern-
ment plans to expand Med-
icaid to low-income adults and subsidize
purchases on the health-insurance ex-
changes when it requires most Americans to
carry insurance in 2014.
However, an insurance card will not mean
much to patients without providers to care
for them.
Pennsylvania will have 808,000 more
insured residents because of reform, accord-
ing to an Urban Institute analysis.
A primary care physician is the first con-
tact for people with undiagnosed illnesses.
They include family physicians, pediat-
ricians and internal-medicine doctors. Pri-
mary care physicians share of the U.S.
health care dollar is only 7 cents. However,
primary care doctors control 80 cents of the
health care dollar by sending their patients
to hospitals, referring them to specialists
and handing out prescriptions.
The United States has the about the same
number of physicians per capita as other
industrialized nations. However, the United
States has far fewer primary care physicians
than specialists. They make up about 50
percent of the physician workforce in most
other developed nations, compared with 35
percent here.
The number of U.S. specialists per capita
has risen dramatically since 1965, while the
ratio of primary care physicians has re-
mained relatively constant. The outlook is
for more of the same: greater scarcity of
primary care and a growing supply of spe-
cialists, because they earn as much as three
times more income.
Massachusetts reformed its state health
care system in 2006, giving the nation a
glimpse of what is to come when access to
health insurance is expanded without ex-
panding the supply of primary care. The
average wait for a non-urgent appointment
with an internist rose from17 days in 2005
to 48 days in 2011. Less than half of family
physicians there are accepting new patients,
compared with 70 percent four years ago.
Massachusetts has about 108 primary care
physicians for every 100,000 residents, com-
pared with only about 85 per 100,000 in
Pennsylvania. This ultimately suggests an
even longer wait locally.
The primary care workload is expected to
increase by nearly 30 percent between 2005
and 2025. A number of factors feed this
demand, including a growing population, a
flood of baby boomers becoming Medicare
beneficiaries and acquiring medical condi-
tions as they age, and the newly insured
because of the reform law.
However, the supply of primary care phy-
sicians is expected to rise by only 2 to 7
percent. Three out of four physicians say
they already are at or over capacity. The
math screams that there will be a crisis of
health care access in the next 15 years. Ex-
pect longer waits for appointments, shorter
physician visits, greater use of non-physi-
cians for routine care and higher prices.
The United States trains about 16,000
doctors a year. The nation would have to
increase that number by 6,000 to 8,000
annually for 20 years to meet expected de-
mand.
Adding to the sense of urgency is the fact
that about one out of four Pennsylvania
physicians is age 60 or older.
About 4 percent of Pennsylvania residents
live in federally designated primary-care
shortage areas. Physicians tend to cluster in
areas where supply is already high rather
than where the need is greatest. About 80
percent of new physicians in the 1980s and
1990s did this. They like affluent areas with
well-insured patients, high-tech hospitals
and civic amenities that offer a better qual-
ity of life. These high-income enclaves are
also home to the nations healthiest people.
Most people do not want to recognize
that health care is rationed. It is done so by
lack of insurance. Health reform is expected
to rectify that, but it will exacerbate a new
form of rationing: the doctor is not in.

author of the new book Health Care in 2020:

COMMENTARY
S T E V E J A C O B
T
HREE REPUBLICAN
presidential candi-
dates are shamelessly
criticizing President
Barack Obama for apologizing
to the government of Afghanis-
tan for the incineration of Qu-
rans at a U.S. military base in
that country.
Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich
and Rick Santorum should be
praising the president instead,
not only because acknowledg-
ingtheoffensetoMuslimsensi-
bilities was the decent thing to
do but because it might have
prevented an even worse back-
lash than the one that has cost
four American lives so far.
That said, the violence in
which more Afghans than
Americans have beenkilled is
anominous reminder of the fra-
gility of the relationship be-
tween the United States and its
allies on the one hand, and an
Afghan populace wearied by a
decade of Western occupation
on the other. Especially shock-
ing was the execution-style
murder of two U.S. service
members assigned to the sup-
posedly secure precincts of the
Interior Ministry. Thegunman,
who is still at large, is suspect-
ed of being an Afghan police in-
telligence officer.
As tragic as it was, the shoot-
ing at the Interior Ministry is
only one incident. U.S. Ambas-
sador to Afghanistan Ryan
Crocker was right to reject the
notionthat it justifiedsuddenly
abandoning cooperation be-
tween NATO and an Afghan
government that is belatedly
taking on more responsibility
for the countrys security.
Crocker suggests that the next
step is to let things calm
down, return to a more normal
atmosphere and then get on
with business.
Someday sooner rather
than later, we hope U.S.
troops will be gone and there
will be less of an opportunity
for clashes of culture like the
conflict over the burning of the
Quran.

tic lawnowartificial-
ly inflates the cost of govern-
ment construction projects.
State Rep. Fred Keller, R-
Middleburg, estimates that
prevailing wage might drive up
construction costs 30 percent
in some cases. Worse, the pre-
vailing law has not been mod-
ernized since the 1960s, so
even the smallest project qual-
ifies.
Keller, in his first term, has
picked a noteworthy battle in
going after an issue of interest
to powerful labor organiza-
tions and opposed by Demo-
crats who depend on union
campaign donations. Keller
said he first took an interest in
the issue after hearing from a
municipality where officials
were flummoxed that they
would have to pay prevailing
wage for a $26,000 sewer pro-
ject. Any work over $25,000
qualifies for prevailing wage.
As a local borough manager
pointed out, it is the rare pro-
ject that does not hit $25,000.
Keller wants toraise the bar for
projects to qualify
to $185,000.
Advocates say
that the extra
money helps
working families
and trickles into
the community
through increased
spending. Prevail-
ing wage is also
meant toprovidea
level playing field
by establishing the rate so that
contractors donot wincompet-
itive bidding by hiring lower-
paid, lower-skilled workers.
Kellers approach is just one
way of addressing the inequity
in the prevailing wage law. An-
other could be to do a better
job of making sure the pay
rates truly reflect the market in
which the work is taking place.
Workers ought to be com-
pensatedonthe true prevailing
wage of the communities
where they live rather than
withinflatedpay that drives up
project costs onthe backof tax-
payers.

MoonLake Park will be closed
on weekdays because Luzerne
Countys security department
lost six employees to recent bud-
get cuts, county Security Chief
John Robshaw said Wednesday.
Three security workers will be
laid off at the end of today, and
threepositions vacatedbyrecent
terminations and a resignation
wont be filled.
Robshawsaid he is left with18
security guards, and protecting
the county courthouse andother
buildings must take priority.
The park will be open from 9
a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Saturdays
and Sundays, starting this week-
end, he said.
Robshaw said he will attempt
toexpandhours whenthe parkis
used more heavily in the sum-
mer but cant make promises.
The news puts the upcoming
trout stockings scheduledfor the
park in limbo, according to
Bryan Bendock, assistant re-
gional supervisor for the Penn-
sylvania Fish and Boat Commis-
sion. Currently, the agency has
scheduled three stockings -- one
prior to the April 14 opening day
of trout season followed by two
more -- April 28 and May 5.
Bendock said if the county de-
cides to keep the gate closed but
allow people to walk into the
park, the agency will continue
with the scheduled stockings.
If not, the PFBC would likely
cancel Moon Lake from the
stocking schedule.
Those trout designated for
Moon Lake would go back into
the state allocation and be
stocked elsewhere, Bendock
said, adding that Moon Lake and
Lake Irena are scheduled to re-
ceive the most stockings out of
any waterway in the county.
Exeter resident Phil Russo is a
daily user of the park and said he
heard rumors that it would be
closing during the week. The
main users, he said, are anglers,
mountain bikers, model airplane
enthusiasts and walkers.
With trout season set to begin
next month and the spring
weather on the horizon, Russo
said the timing of the decision
couldnt be worse.
Russo said the ideal scenario
would have the park open seven
days a week, from sunup to sun-
down. At the very least, he said,
the county should consider hav-
ing a guard available simply to
open and close the gate to allow
daily usage.
We appreciate the countys fi-
nancial position, but theexpense
of having a guard open and close
the gate is minimal, Russo said.
The county is still in the proc-
ess of completing a master plan
outlining possible improve-
ments at the park and the esti-
mated costs.
The plan is required to obtain
future government grants for the
park. The state maycover 50per-
cent of the cost of recreational
improvements at the facility
once the master plan is complet-
ed, though it will be up to the
county to fund maintenance.
County Chief Engineer Joe
Gibbons said the park needs
costly capital improvements on
the water and electrical distribu-
tion systems, sewage treatment
plant, pool and campgrounds.
Gibbons expects a draft of the
plan in the near future, and it
may be publicly presented to ob-
tain additional feedback later
this month. .
The public is permitted to use
the park for hiking, biking, fish-
ing, cross country skiing and
other activities, though camping
and swimming remain off limits
due to budget cuts.
The 650-acre park had closed
in January 2010 because of the
countys money problems, but
thefacilityreopenedwithscaled-
back amenities that March.
Moon Lake Park will be closed weekdays
Budget cuts mean security
will not be available. Park will
still be open on weekends.

ty council.
Forty of the 59 furloughed
workers are unionized, records
show.
Nine agreed to be laid off.
A few already have been fur-
loughed, but most of the layoffs
will take effect at the end of work
today. One layoff in domestic re-
lations will be enacted at the end
of the month, and the layoff of a
mapping employee wont occur
until August, the documents
show.
The prisonhas the most layoffs
18 followed by probation ser-
vices and the assessors office,
with five each.
The sheriffs department will
also lose six part-time deputies in
addition to Sheriff John Gilligan.
John Robshawwill serve as inter-
imactingsheriff inadditiontohis
current positionas county securi-
ty chief.
Register of Wills clerks Carol
Zolner and Joseph Rodgers are
on the layoff list but plan to exer-
cise their union contract right to
bump less senior employees who
have the same position in other
departments in their bargaining
unit.
Their union leader, Paula
Schnelly, of the American Feder-
ation of State, County & Munici-
pal Employees, or AFSCME, said
thebumpingprocess was delayed
by a lack of cooperation by man-
agement inone office. As a result,
two employees wont find out
theyre being laid off until today,
she said.
Im very distraught that two
peoplestill dont knowtheyrebe-
ing laid off, Schnelly said.
County Manager Robert Law-
ton said the administration will
dothe best we can toabsorbthe
loss of employees without hurt-
ingservices, thoughsomeimpact
should be expected with the loss
of that many positions.
Cuts are necessary because the
council can provide only a set
amount of funding to operate
government, he said.
If we do more of A, it means
well be doingless of B. Thats the
bottom line, he said.
We may change the way we
provide services. We may change
the time it takes to provide
them, he said.
Lawton said the administra-
tion will continue monitoring
services.
Prisonunionmembers predict-
ed safety will be compromised
with cuts in the correctional sys-
tem, and they complained about
the administrations refusal to ac-
cept the unions offer to give up 3
percent pay hikes for the rest of
the year in exchange for keeping
10 workers.
Pribula said he rejected the of-
fer because the administration
had concerns about the wording,
and he said Prison Warden Joe
Piazza was confident safety re-
quirements would be met.
Lawton said he reviewed the
matter Wednesday and will pro-
ceed with the prison union lay-
offs.
While we appreciate the
union having come forward with
an alternative proposal, unfortu-
nately we didnt have the time to
perfect it before the deadline,
Lawton said. We will continue
to be open to further discussions
with them, whatever happens.

L AYO F F L I S T
Onhis openingdayas Luzerne
Countys first permanent manag-
er under home rule, Robert Law-
ton revealed a glimpse of his wit
in an e-mail to county council.
Dear Council Members: Just
a quick note to let you knowthat
the dome still stands, he wrote.
Lawton told council he briefly
visited with county District At-
torney Stefanie Salavantis and
lunched with county Controller
Walter Griffith in addition to
other transition activities.
He also answered questions
about his first day and upcoming
worker layoffs for the media.
My response to each was
thus: The adopted budget as-
sumed certain cost reductions
involvinglayoffs, andwe are con-
strained by the funds available,
Lawton wrote.
He said he wanted to brief
council so you dont hear it first
in the news.
Lawton said during an inter-
view he spent much of the day
being briefed by former interim
Manager Tom Pribula about
pending issues before council
and on the horizon.
He also discussed possible im-
provements with Griffith.
I look forward to an effective
partnership with his office,
Lawton said. I have a lot of peo-
ple tosee here today. I want todo
some more drop-ins.
Griffith said Lawton is knowl-
edgeable but also a very good
listener.
Hes veryopentotryingtofig-
ure out what we can do to make
the county better, and I think
thats very important, Griffith
said, noting the manager has a
lot to digest.
The 49-year-old New York na-
tive who most recently worked
in California will oversee daily
operations and many duties pre-
viously handled by three elected
commissioners.
For now, his office will be
housed in the courthouse base-
ment, though he will evaluate
the location of all county offices
to identify a more efficient lay-
out.
He was impressed with the
historic courthouse, saying it re-
minds himof thecapital building
in Albany, where he worked for
almost 10 years.
This is very reminiscent of
that period and that monumen-
tal style of architecture. I think it
was intended to summon the
best that was inus andalso to ba-
sically tell a story, the story of
justice and the story of democra-
cy
He paused to observe a large
clock frozen in time in the mar-
ble wall at the courthouse first
floor entrance.
The first thing you see when
you come into the courthouse
doesnt work, he said.
Lawton said Pribula will re-
main on staff for the immediate
future, though he isnt prepared
to discuss future personnel ac-
tions.
I think were still working on
issues of transition. Hes beenex-
tremely helpful and providing
the benefit of his institutional
knowledge as well as his current
information, Lawton said.
Lawton said hes happy to be
here.
I met some great people al-
ready. I look forward to accom-
plishing a lot with the staff and
elected officials here, he said.

The Monkees made rock n roll
history as the band garnered a
wide American following with
love-struck hits such as Day-
dream Believer and Im a Be-
liever that endure to this day.
His publicist said Jones died
Wednesday of a heart attack af-
ter being taken to a hospital after
he complained of breathing
problems.
Born in Manchester, England,
on Dec. 30, 1945, Jones became a
child star in his native England
who appeared on television and
stage, including a heralded role
as The Artful Dodger in the
play Oliver.
He earned a Tony nomination
at 16 when he reprised that role
in the shows Broadway produc-
tion, a success that brought him
to the attention of Columbia Pic-
tures/Screen Gems Television,
which created The Monkees.
Hundreds turned out for audi-
tions, but the youngmenwhobe-
came the Monkees had no idea
what ultimately awaited them.
The Monkees was a band
clearly patterned on the Beatles
filmAHard Days Night, chron-
icling the comic trials and tribu-
lations of a rock group whose
four members lived together and
traveled to gigs in a tricked-out
car called the Monkeemobile.
Mike Nesmith, Peter Tork and
Micky Dolenz starred with him.
Each part was loosely created to
resemble one of the Beatles.
At 5-feet-3 inches, Jones was
by far the shortest member of
the group a fact often made
light of on the show. But he also
was its dreamboat, mirroring
Paul McCartneys role in the
Beatles. The first single, Last
Train to Clarksville, became a
No. 1 hit. And the TV show
wouldcaught onquickly withau-
diences, featuring fast-paced,
helter-skelter comedy inspired
as much by the Marx Brothers as
the Beatles.
Carole King and Gerry Goffin
wrote Pleasant Valley Sunday,
and Neil Diamond penned Ima
Believer. Musicians who played
on their records included Billy
Preston, who later played with
the Beatles, Glen Campbell, Le-
on Russell, Ry Cooder and Neil
Young.
After two seasons, the TV se-
ries had flared out and was can-
celed after 58 episodes in the
summer of 1968. But The Mon-
kees remained a nostalgia act for
decades. And Jones maintained
that the stage was the only place
he truly felt at home.
Even today, I have an inferior-
ity complex, he told the Daily
Mail in an interview last year. I
always feel Im there at the win-
dow, looking in. Except when
Im on stage, and then I really
come alive.
After the TV show ended,
Jones continued to tour with the
other Monkees for a time, some-
times playing the drums at con-
certs whenDolenz came up front
to sing.
JONES
Local businessman and pro-
moter Thom Greco booked The
Monkees for their first stop on
their 1986 reunion tour at The
Woodlands.
I found Davy Jones to be a
humble guy very affable and
friendly, Greco said. The Mon-
kees had been out of the lime-
light for years and this was their
chance to get back on the road
again. They were great.
Greco said Jones, Tork and
Dolenz acted like kids. He said
they jumped on their beds in
their hotel rooms and had pillow
fights.
They were hysterical, Greco
recalled.
Greco, like Raineri and others,
was shocked to hear of Jones
passing.
I always knew him to be
health conscious, he said. He
watched what he ate, and he al-
ways worked out.
Lori Nocito, executive direc-
tor of Leadership Wilkes-Barre,
talked about Jones appearance
on Public Square.
He came to Wilkes-Barre on
May 7, 2008, to help Leadership
Wilkes-Barre promote its vision
of revitalizing the downtown
and Wilkes-Barre area.
He altered the lyrics of Im a
Believer to show his support of
the citys revitalized downtown,
singing: and then I saw this
place, now Im a believer.
Nocito said Amy Hetro was
working at the Leadership office
and had heard that Jones lived in
Pennsylvania in Beavertown,
Snyder County about two
hours away. Hetro thought it
would be great to have Jones
come to Wilkes-Barre.
We spent the day with him
and took him for lunch at Mohe-
gan Sun, Nocito said. Bobby
Soper showed himthe stables at
the racetrack and we rode
around the track. Jones was like
a kid in a candy store.
Jones gave Nocito his cell
phone number and told her to
keep in touch.
When I heard he had died, it
was like losing a friend, Nocito
said. He was very friendly, sign-
ing autographs and posing for
pictures all day and night. He
was down to earth, she said.
He was so full of life.
In 2011, Jones, Tork and Do-
lenz reunited for a 45th anniver-
sary tour. (Fourth Monkee Mike
Nesmith once again did not take
part.)
The latter part of the tour was
canceled last summer, including
scheduled performances near
Philadelphia and in the Poconos.
Raineri saidJones appearedto
be off his game during an inter-
view on Raineris weekly radio
show on WRKC-FM, the Kings
College radio station. Jones told
Raineri how much he liked
Wilkes-Barre and how he was
looking forward to racing his
horses at Mohegan Sun at Poco-
no Downs.
It was probably the worst in-
terview Ive done, Raineri said.
He (Jones) seemed like he was
in a hurry; he was distracted.
Raineri said he was expecting
to talk to a more bubbly, conge-
nial Davy Jones.
Thats the Davy Jones we all
knew, Raineri said.
HesaidJones was kindof eva-
sive when talking about The
Monkees and he offered a com-
ment that Raineri found unusu-
al.
He said at one point that he
didnt care much for The Beatles
or for any other performers,
Raineri said. Tocome ona Beat-
les showandsay that was kindof
off the wall.
Raineri said Jones was on
The EdSullivanShow withthe
cast of the Broadway musical
Oliver on the night The Beat-
les made their first appearance
on American television, and he
met John, Paul, George and Rin-
go backstage.
The thingis the Beatles loved
the Monkees, Raineri said.
They had a good relationship as
far as I know. Thats why his
comment was so bizarre.
AlanK. Stout, whohas written
about music for TheTimes Lead-
er and The Weekender, remem-
bered watching the band U2 per-
form The Monkees Daydream
Believer in 1997.
The Edge sang it and the
crowd of 70,000 went wild,
Stout recalled. Davy Jones had
a great voice for pop music, and I
guess maybe even U2 felt the
same. Its a sad day for music.

he latest unbeaten wrestler
creating a commotion at Cough-
lin High School looks a lot like
the last one.
Little wonder, since current District
2 champion Brad Emerick and last
seasons state runner-up Josh Popple
used to be workout partners.
I wrestled him all last year, in and
out of the practice room, Emerick
said.
You could just envision Coughlins
two wrestling superheroes rolling
around through the high school halls,
out the doors and onto the pavement
attempting to pin each other all the
way up to their hometown of Bear
Creek.
He has a wrestling room at his
house, Emerick smiled. I live right
next to him.
Now, Emericks next in line to carry
Coughlins state championship dreams.
The 268-pound son of Mike and Lee
Ann Emerick worked his way into that
position by winning the District 2
Class 3A heavyweight championship
Saturday with what else? a quick
pin. He has 26 of them, most coming
within the first period, among a spar-
kling season record that stands at 36-0.
He is the only unbeaten wrestler
from the Wyoming Valley Conference
heading into this weekends Northeast
Regional Tournament at Freedom High
School in Bethlehem, where Emerick
will be the top seed in his weight class.
Which means hes the favorite.
Nobody would have predicted this
kind of run for Emerick back in Sep-
tember.
Before his junior year began, hed
never completed a full wrestling sea-
son
Hes not on peoples radar, Cough-
lin coach Steve Stahl said. Hes been
banged up every season.
Emerick broke his wrist during the
final dual match of his eighth-grade
year. He broke his jaw at the Tunk-
hannock Kiwanis Tournament during
his freshman season at Coughlin. He
broke a finger in the middle of last
year.
That string of bad breaks never
broke his spirit, though.
Ive been working for this since I
was five years old, Emerick said. This
was a major goal, undefeated season.
This mission didnt end at districts.
Emerick would love to take his per-
fect season right through regionals,
and then bring back the first PIAA
championship to Coughlins storied
wrestling program.
Popple came as close as anyone with
44 straight victories, before the expert
pinner got pinned in the 189-pound
Class 3A state championship match.
But before he went off to wrestle at
Harvard, Popple left behind a few
moves for his protg to use.
He moves great for a heavyweight,
Stahl said of Emerick. Hes tough on
top and has a major league tilt. Work-
ing out with Josh all year last year,
thats where it comes from.
Evidently, he knows pinning combi-
nations.
The combination of Coughlins dy-
namic duo in the workout room
couldnt quite bring Popple a PIAA
gold medal last year, but maybe itll get
one for Emerick this season.
Im thinking one match at a time,
Emerick cautioned. Once I get to
states, then the thought will come to
my mind.
Keep in mind it is still very early for
Emerick to be talking state title.
You really dont know where youre
at right now, Stahl said. Are you that
good, or was the competition not that
good?
The big guy has been good enough
to get Coughlin dreaming big again.
After all those years that felt so in-
complete, Emerick gets a chance to
finish what his old buddy started.

The day was only half over, but Dave
Martin was confident in his statement.
Having just led the Misericordia
womens basketball team to a confer-
ence title as interim coach, the schools
athletic director was ready to go and
watch his mens program play for a
championship as well.
Ill tell you what, Martin said. If
our men were to win, it would be one of
the greatest days in Misericordia athlet-

They did. And it was.
In a span of just a few hours on Sat-
urday, Misericordia captured both Free-

team earning its first trip to the NCAA
tournament in the process.
That journey begins today as the

Fittingly, the first domino to fall for
Penn State is a quarterback.
The first recruit in the first full class
for Bill OBrien came aboard this week,
and it happens to be one of the most
highly regarded quarterbacks in the
country.
Virginia signal-caller Christian Hack-
enberg became the foundation of the
Nittany Lions class of 2013 when he
verbally committed to OBrien on Tues-
day night.
Hackenbergs pledge was first report-
ed by Lions247.
Fresh off of his stint as the offensive
coordinator and quarterbacks coach for
Tom Brady and the New England Patri-
ots, OBrien can build his new team
around a player like Hackenberg.
For a program trying to emerge from
the rubble of the Jerry Sandusky scan-
dal, Penn State was looking to make an
early splash in recruiting to get things
turned around.
Well, its absolutely huge because of

EXETER During the first few min-
utes of a pressure-packed game, Scran-
ton Prep broke free for a few open bas-
kets.
Therest of thenight, NanticokeArea
made sure nothing came easy.
Using a frantic full-court defense
straight out of their old glory days, the
Trojanettes returned to glory as well
as the PIAAplayoffs by pressing Prep
to the limit Wednesday during a 45-38
District 2 Class 3A girls basketball
semifinal victory at Wyoming Area
High School.
We take a lot of pride in that, said
senior Sammy Gow, a Nanticoke Area
defensive ace and the nights leading
scorer. Defense is our pride and joy.
It showed.
Prep wriggled free
for three open looks
and found a 6-1 lead
midway through the
opening quarter. But
the Classics managed
just six more buckets
until the games final
few minutes, when the Trojans held a
commanding 14-point lead.
Thats because Gow, Brittany Sugal-
ski and Alex Bressington harassed
Scranton Preps guards most of the
night, and while they didnt often take
the ball away, the Trojans had little
trouble taking passing lanes and clean
looks away.
Even when our pressure didnt get
turnovers or steals, we try to make
them uncomfortable as best we can,
said Nanticoke Area coach Alan Yendr-
zeiwski, whose team will face either
Dallas or Honesdale in Saturdays dis-
trict final and is guaranteed a spot in
the PIAA playoffs for the first time
since 2009.
Meanwhile, the 23-2 Trojanettes
made themselves right at home in an
action-packed, fast and furious game
that featured little scoring opportunity
but plenty of dogged defense.
Scranton Prep got the best of the
early in-your-face action, fighting
through swarms of converging bodies
and flailing arms to generate a five-
point lead midway through the first
quarter. But the Trojanettes quickly re-
covered, using four points fromstar in-
side player Katie Wolfe to take a 7-6
lead into the second quarter and then

Woods confronts reporter
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla.
Tiger Woods had a terse exchange with
a reporter over excerpts from former
swing coach Hank Haneys book.
The volley ended with Woods refus-
ing to answer the question, staring him
down for five seconds and saying sar-
castically, Have a
good day.
The topic Wednes-
day at the Honda
Classic was Haneys
contention that
Woods seriously
thought about becom-
ing a Navy SEAL at
the peak of his career.
And so began a bumpy road to the
Masters for Woods, who has gone more
than two years without winning on the
PGA Tour. If the book didnt get under
his skin, there were 10 questions relat-
ed to his putting. Woods is coming off a
second-round loss in the Match Play
Championship when he missed a 5-foot
putt on the last hole.
NFL
Steelers will release Ward
PITTSBURGH The Steelers will
release wide receiver Hines Ward.
A four-time Pro Bowl selection, who
holds franchise records for receptions,
receiving yards and receiving touch-
downs, Ward, 35, has spent all of his 14
NFL seasons with Pittsburgh.
We had a conversation today with
Hines Ward and informed him that we
plan to release him of his contract prior
to the start of the 2012 NFL calendar
year, Steelers President Art Rooney II
said in a statement on the teams web-
site. Hines has been an integral part of
our success since we drafted him in
1998 and we will forever be grateful for
what he has helped us achieve.
Ward was the MVP of Super Bowl in
2006 after leading the Steelers to a
21-10 victory over the Seattle Sea-
hawks. He posted a game-high 123
receiving yards on five receptions with
one touchdown.
He has meant so much to this orga-
nization, both on and off the field,
Rooney said, and we appreciate his
efforts over the past 14 years. Hines
accomplishments are numerous, and
he will always be thought of as one of
the all-time great Steelers. We wish
him nothing but the best.

Americans top Italy
GENOA, Italy The United States
stunned Italy on Wednesday as Clint
Dempseys second-half goal gave the
Americans their first ever victory over
the Azzurri in 11 meetings.
Dempsey became only the fourth
American to score against Italy when
he fired past Gianluigi Buffon in the
55th minute, and the U.S. clung on for
a memorable win in the friendly in-
ternational.
It is Jurgen Klinsmanns fifth victory
in 10 games as U.S. coach and will also
serve as personal revenge for the for-
mer Germany great after losing the
2006 World Cup semifinal to eventual
champion Italy when in charge of the
German national team.
Italy almost snatched a draw in stop-
page time when Riccardo Montolivos
effort flashed past the right upright. It
is the Azzurris first defeat in Genoa
since 1924.
U.S. opens with 5-0 win
Alex Morgan scored two goals, Abby
Wambach, Carli Lloyd and Sydney
Leroux had one apiece, and the United
States opened defense of its Algarve
Cup title with a 5-0 win over Denmark
on Tuesday night.
Seeking their ninth Algarve Cup title
and third in a row, the Americans went
ahead on a goal by Morgan in the 21st
minute in Lagos, Portugal. Wambach
doubled the lead in the 44th with her
132nd international goal, second only
to Mia Hamms 158.
Lloyd scored in the 76th, Morgan in
the 84th and Leroux in the third min-
ute of injury time.
The U.S. plays Norway on March 2,

CLEARWATER, Fla. Philadelphia
Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard
missed workouts again on Wednesday,
after a procedure Monday to remove an
infection around his surgically repaired
Achilles tendon.
Howard, whohadtheoriginal surgery
in October, took part in workouts when
camp opened, but stopped after batting
practice Saturday. Hes been held out of
all baseball activities since, and left the
team on Monday to see Dr. Mark Myer-
son in Baltimore.
Phillies head athletic trainer Scott
Sheridan could not give an accurate
timetable for when he expects Howard
to resume his rehabil-
itation.
I truly dont know
that answer, he said.
Howard suffered a
complete tear of his
left Achilles on the fi-
nal play of the 2011
season, during Game
5of the National League DivisionSeries
against St. Louis. On Oct. 12, Myerson
performed the surgery. The follow-up
visit, however, became more involved
whenMyersonhadtotreat the infection
at the site of the surgical wound.
Its like a new wound, Sheridan
said. So, were going to have to protect
that healing area. So, theyll be some-
days where we just need to make sure
that it continues to heal, that we dont
set ourselves up for any more problems
down the line.
Howard was expected to begin 2012
on the disabled list, but there was opti-
mism when camp began that he could
be ready at some point in May. If there
was any good news that came out of
Sheridans update, it was that the for-
mer MVPs surgically repaired Achilles
was not compromised by the infection.
That was our biggest concern going
into this. And that was one of the things
during the procedure that (Myerson)
did confirm, the Achilles tendon is in-
tact and not compromised, Sheridan
said. I dont think any time you have an
infection, its good news, but from the
standpoint of the things that could hap-
pen and didnt happen, were pleased.
Howard was placed on antibiotic
medication following the latest proce-
dure. He will be held out of any activity
while the new stitches heal.
Well see where hes at, Phillies
manager Charlie Manuel said. Ive al-
ways said its a reach for himto open the
season, and actually, thats where its
at.
NOTES: The Phillies defeated Flor-
ida State, 6-1, Wednesday at Bright
House Field. Philadelphia right-hander
J.C. Ramirez, who threwa wild pitch to
allow the game-tying run in the top of
the seventh inning, was credited with
the win. . The Phillies will begin their

Playing without one of its
pillars, the Wilkes mens basket-
ball team saw its season come to
an end on Wednesday.
The Colonels lost 78-64 at
Alvernia in the quarterfinals of
the ECAC South Region tourna-
ment, finishing the campaign at
17-10 overall.
Wilkes was missing leading
scorer Kendall Hinze, who suf-
fered a broken right hand during
Saturdays Freedom Conference
championship loss to Miser-
icordia.
The senior center still man-
aged to finish that contest with a
game-high 21 points on 9-of-10
shooting, hitting 1,000 career
points in the process.
X-rays on Monday revealed the
fracture and the Colonels captain
was forced to watch Wednesdays
tilt in street clothes, ending a
streak of 54 straight games in the
starting lineup.
Sophomore Brendan Sheldon
started in Hinzes place. Another
second-year post player, Nic
Wilkins, chipped in on offense
with a career-high12 points.
Playing in his final game for
Wilkes, senior Paul Huch turned
in a double-double, leading the
team in points (24) and re-
bounds (12). Huch scored nine
points in the final 1:14 for the
fifth-seeded Colonels.
Without Hinze down low,
however, Wilkes managed to get
to the line for just six foul shots.
No. 4 Alvernia, meanwhile, fin-
ished the game 22-of-33 from the
stripe.
The Crusaders (18-8) raced
out to an11-2 lead to open the
game and were up by as much as
20 points before a late run of
threes by the Colonels pulled
them within 44-32 at the half.
Wilkes could only get as close
as nine points in the second half.

laughed off the comments, made
a brief statement and ducked
through a crowd of reporters sur-
rounding his locker.
Imnot goingtowinmany bat-
tles here when it comes to words,
especially against Bobby, Rodri-
guez said. But I will tell you this:
Ive got my new press secretary
that shouldbe landinginthe next
couple days Reggie Jackson
so Ill let him handle that.
Jeter spokelonger about Valen-
tines jabs but didnt say much.
Whyarewetalkingabout this,
really? Jeter said. He must be
bored over there, huh? I dont un-
derstand.
The Red Sox were working on
relay throws at spring training
Tuesday and Valentine was asked
about one of baseballs most fa-
mous relay plays fromGame 3
of the 2001ALDivisionSeries be-
tween the Yankees and Oakland.
Down2-0inthe series andwith
a 1-0 lead in the seventh inning,
Yankees right fielder Shane Spen-
cer missedthe cutoff manona hit
by Terrence Long. Thats when
Jeter seemingly came out of no-
where tograbthe overthrownear
the first baseline and flipped the
ball home to get Jeremy Giambi
at the plate.
Valentine saidhe thought Jeter
was out of positionandthat he
didnt believe the Yankees would
practice the relay that way.
I mean, we do, Jeter said.
What do you want me to say? I
mean, really. What amI supposed
to say?
Sure enough, when the Yan-
kees were practicing later
Wednesday morning, Jeter drift-
ed over toward the area between
first and home on a ball to the
right-field corner.
Ever since Ive been here in
1996 weve asked our short-
stops to kind of float in the in-
field, NewYork manager Joe Gi-
rardi said. We worked on it to-
day. It happened to be cuts-and-
relays day today.
Valentine also said he felt
Giambi would have been out at
the plate even if Jeter hadnt tou-
ched the ball.
I dont know Bobby well
enough to tell you what hes try-
ing to do, Jeter said. I dont
knowwhat totell you. ... Imindif-
ferent.
Valentine backed off a bit
Wednesday, saying hed talked
with Red Sox bullpen coach Gary
Tuck, who used to be with the
Yankees as a catching instructor.
He saidthey dopractice it. To-
tal mistake on my part because
they do practice it, thats for
sure, Valentine said. Its hard to
practice that because why are we
going to practice a bad throw?
Thats not what were doing here.
But I get it. I get it. ... I want it on
record that I love Derek Jeter as a
player. It was not a slight towards
him. I love him as a guy, too.

getting four more in the second
from both Wolfe and Gow to
hold a four-point advantage at
the half.
We just kept our compo-
sure, said Gow, who finished
with 15 points. Were a pretty
experienced team. There was a
lot of game left.
The Trojanettes turned up
their defensive game after half-
time, and left Scranton Prep
gasping.
Gowforcedtwoturnovers, in-
cluding a steal, and trying to
survive Nanticoke Areas suffo-
cating full-court pressure
proved pointless for the Clas-
sics until Emily Pritchyk con-
verted Scranton Preps first
points of the half with a bucket
at the 3:34 mark.
Everybody talks about our
three-point shooting, Yendr-
zeiwski said, but weve played
pretty good defense. Weve
been playing that way all year,
and we make it a point to play
that wayall year just for this rea-
son. Were just used to playing
this style of basketball now.
That style limitedPreptojust
five points over the first eight
minutes of the second half the
third straight quarter the Clas-
sics were held to single digits.
Those are the types of numbers
past Nanticoke teams regis-
tered when the Trojans were
makingPIAAplayoff runs inthe
2000s and during that glorious
state title roll in 1990.
Theyre a really good team
offensively, Gowsaid. We had
to buckle down on our defense.
It was a low-scoring game, a
good defensive effort on the
part of both teams.
Nanticoke Area finally broke
it open, though.
A couple buckets by Gow
helped do the job. And when
Kayley Schinski quiet for
most of the night after provid-
ing late-game dramatics during
the teams past two games
drove the lane for a layup and
followed up with a 3-ball, the
Trojanettes suddenly had a 27-
16 lead.
Kayleys a great athlete,
Gow said. She could miss a
shot and just like that, make
things happen.
Gow made sure the Troja-
nettes remained in control the
rest of the way.
Her two foul shots with 3:30
to play gave Nanticoke Area its
biggest lead, 36-22, and two
more free throws from Gow
nearlytwominutes later put the
Trojanettes up, 38-27.
Scranton Prep tried to flurry
at the finish, using Jessica Gen-
cos fourth 3-pointer of the
game to pull within five points
with 54 seconds to play.
But Gow coolly converted
three more free throws down
the stretch to set up Nanticoke
Areas date in the district cham-
pionship game.
What a great group of girls,
Yendrzeiwski said. Tobe going
on to the district final, to earn a
state berth, is just fantastic.
Were just really thrilled.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. NAS-
CAR issued steep penalties
against five-time NASCAR
champion Jimmie Johnson and
his team for failing the first in-
spection for the Daytona 500.
Crew chief Chad Knaus was
fined $100,000 and suspended
six races Wednesday, car chief
Ron Malec also was barred for
six races, and Johnson was
docked 25
points, sending
him into this
weekends race
last in the
Sprint Cup Se-
ries standings.
The penal-
ties stem from
a failed inspec-
tion Feb. 17 at Daytona Interna-
tional Speedway. NASCAR said
the No. 48 Chevrolet had illegal-
ly modified sheet metal be-
tween the roof and the side win-
dows, an area known as the C-
posts.
Hendrick Motorsports imme-
diately said it would appeal, and
Knaus and Malec can attend
races during the process.
Our organization respects
NASCAR and the way the sanc-
tioning body governs our
sport, team owner Rick Hen-
drick said. In this case, though,
the system broke down, and we
will voice our concerns through
the appeal process.
Should the penalties stand,
Johnson finds himself in a huge
hole at the start of the season.
He was wrecked just two laps
into Monday nights Daytona
500, and his 42nd-place finish
put him 42nd in the standings
with two points.
The penalty drops him to
43rd in the field, with minus 23
points. Hes now trailing Dayto-
na 500 winner Matt Kenseth by
70 points, and is 58 points out-
side the top 10.
It comes after Johnsons worst
season in NASCAR: his streak of
five consecutive championships
was snapped last year, and he
finished a career-worst sixth in
the standings. He also won only
one race.
Knaus, meanwhile, has run
afoul of NASCAR before.
Hes been suspended four pre-
vious times, but had a two-race
ban in 2005 overturned in the
appeals process. His last suspen-
sion was for six weeks in 2007
when NASCAR said he had
flared out the front bumpers of
Johnsons car at Sonoma.
His first suspension was in
2001, as crew chief for Stacy
Compton, because NASCAR
said he had unapproved shoul-
der harnesses in the car. Knaus
teamed with Johnson at Hen-
drick Motorsports at the end of
that season, and the two have
gone on to 54 victories and five
championships.
Johnson has a 55th victory,
the 2006 Daytona 500, which
was won while Knaus was serv-
ing a suspension. Darian Grubb
filled for that race.

year, said J.C. Shurburtt, na-
tional recruiting director for the
247Sports network. Youre
starting off a class with one of
the top quarterbacks in the
country. Heres a kid thats 6-4,
215 pounds, a three-sport ath-
lete. His potential hasnt even
been scraped as far as what hes
able to do athletically in foot-
ball.
I think when you look at it
from that perspective, there
couldnt be a better way for
Penn State to start off with this
class.
Rated a four-star prospect by
the 247Sports and Rivals
recruiting networks, Hacken-
berg is a classic pro-style passer
for OBriens new offense.
More telling than the recruit-
ing rankings, however, is his of-
fer list. Almost a full year out
from the next national signing
day, Hackenberg already boasts
scholarship offers from schools
like Florida, Miami, South Car-
olina, Stanford, Tennessee, Vir-
ginia and defending national
champion Alabama.
Though Hackenberg plays in
Virginia at Fork Union Military
Academy, his family has ties to
northeastern Pennsylvania.
His father, Erick Hackenberg,
grew up a Penn State fan while
playing quarterback himself at
Marian Catholic High School in
Tamaqua. His grandfather, the
late Barry Hackenberg, was a
coach there.
Christian was born and raised
in Pennsylvania before moving
to Virginia 10 years ago.
Erick Hackenberg was a high-
ly regarded prospect himself in
high school, playing under cen-
ter in the Big 33 game following
his senior season and tossing a
touchdown pass to Meyers leg-
end Rocket Ismail.
For (Christian), the biggest
thing is the ties there, Erick
Hackenberg told ESPN.com.
His grandparents are still there.
We have lots of ties to the area
and he grew up on Penn State
football. He grew up around it.
Christian met the coaches
and loved the traditions of Penn
State. Joe Paterno spent his life-
time building that. He really
clicks with Coach OBrien and
his staff. Christian always knew
he would know when its right,
and that time is now. Hes been
to different places and he felt
very strongly there at Penn
State.
I told him to not make an
emotional decision. Do what
you believe in your heart. Penn
State is the place where he
wanted to be.
With a quarterback already in
the fold, Penn States class could
begin to take off.
Signs of that were already
happening on Wednesday night
as Ohio defensive back Ross
Douglas also gave a verbal com-
mitment to Penn State, accord-
ing to 247Sports.
Douglas, a 5-foot-10 prospect
out of Avon High School, is
rated four stars by Rivals and
three stars by 247.
Though the first two commit-
ments have come from out-of-
state, Pennsylvania has some
top-end talent to be mined,
starting with Harrisburg-area
tight end Adam Breneman and
Pittsburgh-area receiver Robert
Foster. Both are considered to
be among the best in the coun-
try at their positions.
A lot of times the QB will
have a pied piper effect on guys
to come follow, Shurburtt said.
Its huge as far as the rest of the
class.
(Hackenberg) is a kid that
doesnt play high school football
in Pennsylvania, but hes a Penn-
sylvania QB, if you look at his
traits. His competitiveness, his
size, his arm all the things he
brings to the table remind you
of the great guys who have
come out of that state.
Hes a guy you want leading
your team down the field in the
state championship when youre
down three in the last two min-
utes.

The statistics are scary, a vast number of
smokers die of lung or throat cancer.
But the good news is that non smokers can
avoid 90% of lung, throat and esophageal
cancer (conversely, 90% of them are caused by
smoking). Smokers are many times more likely to
suffer heart attacks than non-smokers. Smoking
is a leading cause of wrinkles and premature skin
aging and a leading cause of erectile dysfunction
in men.
In women it causes breasts to sag, teeth to yel-
low, wrinkles to form around the eyes and a host
of other changes in the mouth. But you dont
have to end up a statistic.
No need to continue a smoking habit that
is slowly killing you when you can quit and
join the millions of others who have quit.
Introducing ModeraXL. What you are about to
read, if you smoke, may just change your life.
SLEEP BETTER, LIVE LONGER
Scientists have discovered the core source
of addiction, and have produced a product that
works effectively to support restoration of your
health while dramatically reducing cravings. In
short, if you want to give up smoking or any ad-
diction, weve got the natural product that will
help. Heres why.
When youre addicted, you not only face
health issues from the addiction itself but you
also destroy your brains vital neurotransmitters.
Our neurotransmitters are natural brain chemicals
that mediate mood and allow us to feel calm,
energized, happy, excited, rewarded, focused and
able to sleep. By depleting the neurotransmitters,
thinking is impaired and the desire for the
addictive substance increases. Its a vicious cycle.
But you can now stop that cycle with a new
vitamin-based product called ModeraXL. Heres
what it does.
VITAMINS FOR THE BRAIN
ModeraXL is actually vitamins for the brain
nutrients such as amino acids, herbs, vitamins
and minerals that help to balance the brain
chemistry and restore normal brain function.
These nutrients help to build neurotransmitters
such as dopamine, serotonin, gaba, epenephrin,
norepinephrin and are also known to help
rebuild other vital functions in the body of
someone who has an addiction. ModeraXL
is a powerful mix that dramatically reduces
cravings. And heres the best part. It works
on practically all addictionsfrom smoking to
drugs from alcohol to over eating. It doesnt
treat the addiction, it nourishes the normal
functions the re-covering addict seeks to restore.
Scientists have been able to create a vitamin
powder in single-serve on the go packets that you
mix with water and drink. ModeraXL tastes great,
and with only 15 calories per packet, goes to
work right away to repair and balance your brain
chemistry. Take one packet in the morning and
one with lunch then watch how quickly you feel
the effects as your cravings start to dramatically
decreasewhileyouhavemoreenergyandstamina.
The results were so spectacular that soon clinics
and rehab centers were set up to administer these
nutrients. Now, after years of research and use,
this powerful product is available to everyone
reading this report.
If you are addicted to anything, theres a good
chance your brain chemistry is out of balance
and you want the addictive substance to satisfy
your cravings. The more youre addicted, the
more out of balance your brain chemistry.
RESULTS SEEN QUICKLY
Using ModeraXL results are often seen in just
a fewdays but we want you to try our ModeraXL
challenge. Take ModeraXL morning and noon
for fteen days. You or your loved one will

and several health challenges have been
reported by those taking the drug. ModeraXL

SMOKING
SHOCKER!
If you smoke cigarettes,
you are risking more than
you think. But thanks
to support from a new
breakthrough product,
you can quit naturally and
actually regain your health.
Heres how...
Break the chains...
On all Your addictions!
According to Jahner, Most addicts
have a tremendous amount of shame
and self loathing about their inability
to stop their addictive behavior and
are highly motivated to change;
they just dont have the right type
of tools. ModeraXL is one of those
products that can give people the
tools that have been missing in
traditional treatment approaches and
that is balancing the brain.

With the ModeraXL Im not
having cravings. I had substantial
cravings at rst but once I got on
ModeraXL Im not feeling the cravings at
all. - Ryan L.
No I did not think that that I
would ever be without cravings.
Thats a big thing to deal with every
day. ModeraXL helped me to get healthy
again, get in the gym, get working out and
get my life back. - Matt C.
A life without cigarettes would
be freedom, health and happiness.
In just two weeks of using Modera
XL I was able to cut my smoking basically
in half. I didnt think Id see these results
in just two weeks. It is beyond me and
right then and there I knew I might have
something that actually might work for
me. - Debbie S.
Ive been smoking for 14 years
and to see results from Modera in
just 14 days is unbelievable. Two
weeks ago I said I wanted my life back and
I truly think that ModeraXL is helping me
on the right path - Sean P.

In his last two seasons, Dal-
las Dominic DeGraba has wres-
tled in nearly 100 matches.
Over that time, the junior has
picked up 77 wins, including a
District 2 Class 2A champion-
ship at 106 pounds last week-
end.
It definitely gets you more
suited for the mat environment
so it really helps a lot, said De-
Graba when asked about wres-
tling so many matches.
On Friday and Saturday at
Williamsport High School, De-
Graba will be one of 27 Wyom-
ing Valley Conference wrestlers
participating in the Class 2A
Northeast Regional trying to
grab a berth for next weeks
PIAA Championships at Her-
sheys Giant Center.
Last year, DeGraba who
leads the entire Wyoming Val-
ley Conference with 39 wins
this season was district run-
ner-up then went 1-2 at the re-
gional tournament. Having suc-
cess last year, hes using that as
a confidence-builder for this
year.
I had no idea what to expect
last year being my first year in
high school. Now, I have re-
searched the kids, he said. It
gives you that feeling that its
not impossible, theres hope. I
have a lot of confidence going
down there.
Some might say that wres-
tling 96 matches, plus offseason
workouts, could burn out a
grappler. But DeGraba has used
all those bouts and practice ses-
sions with District 4 power
Benton to get better. Of his 47
matches this season, 22 have
been against competition out-
side of District 2. As a team, the
Mountaineers have traveled
hundreds of miles to see teams
from all over the state, includ-
ing the Pittsburgh and Erie ar-
eas. That not only helps DeGra-
ba, but his six teammates head-
ing to regionals.
We know what to expect
when we get out of the area,
Dallas coach Mike Richards
said. A lot of schools dont get
that outside experience and
when it comes to regionals
sometimes they get a little in-
timidated. I dont think my
guys will be intimidated by any-
one they wrestle.
Seven of DeGrabas bouts and
six of his wins have come
against District 4 wrestlers,
similar competition he will see
this weekend. In his 106-pound
bracket is just one senior,
Meyers Sean Bergold, the
third-place finisher in D2. De-
Graba is the only junior as three
freshmen and a trio of sopho-
mores make up the eight-man
bracket.
That leaves the Mountaineer
with one of the best possible
shots in his bracket of placing in
the top three and getting to
states.
H . S . W R E S T L I N G
DeGraba has put in plenty
of time on wrestling mat
Dallas Dominic DeGraba, bottom, wrestles against Brad Glazen-
ski, of Hanover Area, during practice at Dallas Wednesday after-
noon. Both are Class 2A Northeast Regional qualifiers.

wrestlers competing in
regionals this weekend.

round game at 8 p.m. Friday at
host Tufts University inMedford,
Mass.
Regardless of the outcomes of
those games, Misericordia Uni-
versity has seemingly turned an
important corner as a basketball
school this year.
Having joined the Freedom
Conference four seasons ago, the
Cougars were looking to grow in
stature along with peers Kings
andWilkes. Winningbothbasket-
ball leagues helps legitimize both
squads.
It means a lot to our (athlet-
ics) program, Martin said.
Weve worked hard. And for a lot
of years we were looked at as the
poor stepsister. I dont think that
anybody can look at us like that
any more.
Martin has a unique perspec-
tive on the matter, having been at
the school since 1990, when he
was hired as the mens basketball
coach.
Then known as College Miser-
icordia, the Cougars were an NA-
IA program looking to transition
into the NCAADivision III ranks.
They played in a gymthat made
the Kingston Rec Center look
like Madison Square Garden,
Martin once quipped.
Now Misericordia basketball
plays inthemuchbrighter Ander-
son Center, which drewone of its
largest crowds in school history
on Saturday for the title game
against Wilkes.
One of Martins former players,
Trevor Woodruff, is in his eighth
season coaching the mens team,
taking over the position when
Martin was promoted to athletic
director in 2004.
In four seasons as a member of
the Freedom Conference, Wood-
ruffs squad has been to the
league tournament three times,
the league finals twice and now
has one championship.
As somebodywhogrewupfol-
lowing Northeast Pa. basketball,
when I was looking for colleges, I
didnt even know where Miser-
icordia was, said Woodruff, who
was recently named the leagues
coach of the year. So to go from
that perspective to be where we
are now, in the NCAA tourna-
ment, I think its farfetched to
think high school players havent
heard of us.
It speaks to our players. The
adjustment into this league we
knew would be tough. We didnt
make the playoffs that first year,
but I think the guys adjusted well
to the style of play in this league.
At this point, were competi-
tive for championships on a year-
ly basis, and thats really where
you want to be.
The same can be said for the
womens program, which has
made the Freedom tournament
all four years and the finals in
each of the last two.
This time the Cougars
knocked off four-time defending
champs DeSales in the semifi-
nals, avenging a loss from last
years title game.
I know myself and the other
members didnt want to have this
opportunity taken from them
again, junior guard Tyann
McDaniel said. So we knew we
were going to do anything that
we (needed) to win at that
point.
As for Martin, theres a bit of
irony in reaching the tourna-
ment. In 14 seasons as the mens
coach, he fell just short of the big
stage. It took all of one month as
womens coach to make it.
Guys like (assistant coach)
Willie Chandler on our mens
staff and Trevor played for me, so
Ive been taking a lot of ribbing
that Im going to go to my first
NCAA tournament coaching the
girls team, Martin joked. (With
the men), we got to a couple fi-
nals but never got to the tourna-
ment.
Its great. Im thrilled that
were going to the NCAAs, but
Immost thrilled for this group of
kids. Theyre great kids and they
deserve it.
This years senior class came
aboard right when the school
switched conferences and has
helped the teamreach this point.
For the women, senior starters
Christine Marks andJesse Robin-
son have made an impact in all
four seasons.
On the mens side, Ethan Eich-
horst and Jeff Slanovec, both se-
nior starters on this years team,
saw time off the bench as fresh-
men in 2008-09 and have
watched the program grow first-
hand. The Cougars carry a 12-
game winning streak into to-
nights game.
It really shows where this pro-
grams going, Slanovec said.
My freshman year was the first
year we were in this conference,
and there were a lot of teams that
apparently didnt want us in this
conference. And we kind of had
to prove ourselves prove that
we belong with what we were
told were the big boys.
And we proved it.

Imagine a warm June night, a
packed baseball stadiumand two
of the biggest names in college
athletics battling for a champion-
ship.
The College World Series
comes to mind, right?
Howabout Michigan and Ohio
State withthe BigTentitle onthe
line?
Minnesotas John Anderson,
the winningest baseball coach in
Big Ten history, is pushing for his
conference to break away from
the NCAAs traditional February-
to-June schedule and play when
the weather in the northern
climes is more favorable. In
short, the Big Tens boys of sum-
mer would be on the field in sum-
mer.
Such a move would cost the
Big Ten schools any shot at play-
ing in the NCAA tournament.
That doesnt bother Anderson.
There were four SECteams in
the College World Series last
year. Were never going to catch
those people, he said. The sys-
tem works for them, and theyre
not going to want to change it.
People are going to criticize this
idea, but we need to get people
talking about it.
Big Ten deputy commissioner
Brad Traviolia said he and Com-
missioner Jim Delany dont dis-
miss Andersons idea, even
though it would be hard to imag-
ine breaking away fromthe tradi-
tional NCAA baseball format.
The Big Tenis insteadworking
on a proposal that would allow
teams across the nation to play
up to14 non-conference games in
the fall. The results of those fall
games would carry over to the
spring for consideration in the
NCAA tournament selection
process.

C M Y K
Apple value tops $500B
Apples market capitalization topped
$500 billion Wednesday, climbing to a
mountain peak where few companies
have ventured and none have stayed
for long.
Apple was already the worlds most
valuable company. The gap between it
and No. 2 Exxon Mobil Corp. has wid-
ened rapidly in the past month, as
investors have digested Apples report
of blow-out holiday-season sales of
iPhones and iPads. And, more recently,
Apple has raised investors hopes that
it might institute a dividend.
Apple is the sixth U.S. corporation to
reach the $500 billion milestone, and
the only one to be worth that much at
current prices.
GM, Peugeot in alliance
General Motors and Frances PSA
Peugeot Citroen on Wednesday un-
veiled the details of a strategic alliance
that will see the U.S. auto giant take a
small stake in Europes No. 2 carmaker.
The companies said in a joint state-
ment their plans to share vehicle plat-
forms and pool the purchasing of com-
ponents and services will save them $2
billion a year within five years, split
roughly equally.
GM intends to take a 7 percent stake
in the French automaker via a $1 billion
capital increase, which will make GM
the second largest shareholder in the
French company behind the Peugeot
family, which has controlled its name-
sake enterprise since its founding over
two centuries ago.
Gold, silver plummet
Gold and silver futures tumbled the
most in two months Wednesday on
signs that that the Federal Reserve will
refrain from offering more monetary
stimulus to bolster the U.S. economy.
In testimony before Congress, Fed
Chairman Ben Bernanke gave no signal
that the central bank will take new
steps to boost liquidity. The dollar rose
as much as 0.6 percent against a basket
of major currencies, eroding the appeal
of precious metals as an alternative
investment. Gold had reached
$1,792.70 an ounce on Tuesday, a
three-month high.
ECB loans ease crisis
The European Central Bank provid-
ed $712.4 billion in low-interest loans
to banks in the second round of a mas-
sive credit infusion that has helped
ease the eurozone debt crisis.

Its not just the air-
waves that are getting
crowded with signals
these days.
Pictures, images
and even high-fre-
quency sound are
being used to encode information in
ways that are almost undetectable to
humans, but crystal clear to gadgets.
Many of you may be familiar with
QR codes a sort of super-barcode
that a device can scan, converting in-
formation printed in the code into a
URL for a website, contact information
and so on.
QR codes are cropping up all over
the place, but they might soon be pas-
s. Technology is available that can
encode all of the data contained in a
QR code directly into an image, nearly
undetectably. When you scan the image
with the appropriate app or device, it
links you to content, a message or any
number of other features.
This approach has substantial ad-
vantages QR codes arent the most
attractive things in the world, even
when theyre spruced up a bit, and they
take up space.
Digital Watermarking, as the new
approach is known, allows you to reach
both people and electronics using the
same images.
The downside is that its also pos-
sible to hide information in plain sight,
so an image could theoretically contain
messages visible only to those who
know what to look for. This, in and of
itself is nothing new people have been
hiding text and other information in
images for years using a variety of
techniques.
And its not just images. There are
apps that can receive high-frequency
sounds undetectable to the human ear
and pop up messages or images in
response. These are frequently used in
hyperlocal marketing campaigns --
walk by a store and suddenly you re-
ceive a text message or promotion
about what theyre selling.
Just as were all bombarded by ad-
vertisements and information all day,
our devices will soon experience the
same thing. Youll never know when
your iPhone will start spitting out ads,
or if the picture youre looking at har-
bors a hidden message.
A darker possibility is that these
become pathways for computer viruses.
In the final analysis, its possible to
encode high-level, invisible information
into just about anything clothes,
pictures, videos and more. The phrase
nothing is as it appears has never
been more true.

WASHINGTON Stronger hiring
and higher pay and savings should sup-
port solid growth for the economy in
coming months.
That was a key message that emerged
Wednesday from a report on economic
growth in the final three months of 2011.
The economy grewat a 3 percent annual
rate in the October-December quarter,
up from a previous estimate of 2.8 per-
cent, the Commerce Department said.
Economists stressed that the funda-
mental drivers of the economy in-
comes, consumer spendingandbusiness
investment are rising. Theywill likely
sustain modest growth this year.
Expectations are for the economy to
expand at a roughly 2 percent annual
pace inthe current quarter andabout 2.5
percent for the full year, according to the
National Association for Business Eco-
nomics. That would be faster than last
years 1.7 percent growth.
After taxes, inflation-adjusted in-
comesrose1.4percent inthefourthquar-
ter. Thats nearly double the first esti-
mate.
And in the third quarter, incomes rose
0.7 percent, compared with earlier esti-
mates of a 1.9 percent drop.
Abig reasonfor the higher estimate of
growth in the October-December quar-
ter was that consumers and businesses
spent more than first thought.
The savings rate was revised higher.
Americans saved 4.5 percent of their in-
comesintheOctober-December quarter.
That was down slightly from the third
quarter. But it topped the previous 3.7
percent estimate for the fourth quarter.
Growthwouldhave beenstronger last
quarter if not for a steep drop in govern-
ment spending. Cuts in federal defense
spending, along with reduced spending
at the state and local levels, shaved near-
ly a full point off growth.

Last year in
March, we had
nearly 15 inches
of snow and over
half of that fell
on the 23rd. I
have a feeling
that well see
much less snow
this time around.
For now, I see
little or no
chance of
having any
signicant
amount of
snow, from now
through all of
next week. And
for most of
the time,
temperatures
will be above
normal. After
having scattered
showers today,
more rain will
arrive this
weekend, on
Saturday. But
Friday looks very
nice, with
warmer
temperatures.
In March last
year, our
warmest temper-
ature was 71
degrees but we
had only six days
above 50.

NATIONAL FORECAST: A frontal boundary will trigger scattered showers and thunderstorms from
the Lower Mississippi Valley into portions of the Southeast. Some of these storms may be severe. An
associated low pressure system will bring a mix of precipitation to the Northeast. Meanwhile, rain and
snow will be found from the Pacic Northwest into the northern and central Rockies.

Someone once told me experi-
ence is the greatest teacher. So,
for a few minutes, forget what
you think you know about rats.
Ive had four of them in the past
decade, and they are not the
disease-ridden, mean-spirited
rodents youve read about in
childrens books or seen in horror films.
They are intelligent, amusing and affec-
tionate creatures that want nothing
more than to spend time with you and
receive a treat once in a while.
A few years ago I was living in an
apartment building with my mother,
and I sincerely wanted a pet. I grew up
with dogs and fish, but this building would
allow only the latter. So my older sister
and I cruised the caged-animal section
of the pet store, looking for a suitable
alternative.
Hamsters were too mainstream.
Guinea pigs seemed lazy. But the rat
cages teemed with pleasant-looking crea-
tures large enough to pass for small Chihua-
huas.
After doing a little research and
buying a few preparatory items, I
opened my home and heart to two
female rats: Burnt Sienna (Bernie)
and Waffles.
My mother was horrified at first.
Keep them away from me! she would
say in disgust.
After an initial get-acquainted period, those
animals quickly became my babies. I learned
more about them each day.
Their acrobatic skills especially fascinated me.
When I came home from school, Bernie would
pounce and cling to the side of her cage with the
zeal of Velcro-clad contestants on the former Nick-
elodeon show Wild and Crazy Kids, jumping to
stick to walls for prize money.
I would release Bernie from her cage, and she
would climb up my arm to my shoulder, where
shed happily spend up to an hour as I did chores
or homework.
When I let the pair out to play, it was Bernie
who would snuggle in the crook of my arm.
Waffles was a bit more skittish, but, as with any
pets, they just had different personalities. She
liked to hang out on her own, especially
atop her cage.
I would bring towels out into the living
room to let the girls explore our home,
and my mother slowly became more curi-
ous.
Which one is that? Can I touch her? Will
she bite?
She used just her index finger to pet them
on the head and washed her hands imme-
diately afterward, but it was a start.
The only aspects of rat-keeping I didnt
enjoy were short life spans and frequent
illnesses.
Bernie was the first to go. After two years
as my best friend, she began to develop tumors
on her mammary glands, a common female-
rat affliction. Even if the tumors are be-
nign, they grow very quickly and can
cause other health problems.
As she slowly lost her excited person-
ality, I made the agonizing decision of
euthanasia.
On her final day, I put some cloths in a
shoebox to keep her comfortable on the ride
to the veterinarians office, but she kept restlessly
poking her head out. When I took her out of the
box, she ran onto my lap as fast as her ailing body
could carry her and stayed still the entire drive.
Better to have loved and lost yes, even when it comes to rats

Honey the rat looked forward to spend-
ing time outside her cage.
If youre contemplating adding a small
rodent to your family, you can put these
rat myths to rest in your mind:
Domesticated rats do not bite at will. I
was bitten just once, when I foolishly
poked my finger into a cage and my rat
thought I was food. Do your research and
know how to interact with your new
friends, and youll be wound-free.
Domesticated rats are very much unlike
their cousins who infest homes and city
sewers. Rats found at pet stores or animal
shelters were most likely bred in captivity,
which makes their demeanors and needs
different from their wild counterparts.
Their tails are not gross but functional.
People always thought my rats were cute,
except for the tails. Rat tails are designed
to enable them to be the great acrobats
they are. A rats tail is as long as its body
and used for balance.
You can take a rat to a veterinarian, but
do your research first. I lived in West Pitt-
ston when I had my rats, and I had to drive
them all the way to Noxen for quality
veterinary care. Make sure you call vets in
your area before you take a rat home. As
with dogs or cats, good health equates to
happiness.
CONSIDERING A RAT?
See RATS, Page 2C
Rat-lovers are usedtobeingmisunderstood.
When my husband told his ex that we got
rats, she said, On purpose? says Tami Ka-
plan of Waltham, Mass., proud owner of three
of the maligned rodents.
Look past your preconceptions and you
might fall in love, like Robin Rushlau of Dres-
den, Maine, foster and adoption coordinator
with Mainely Rat Rescue.
Her daughter convinced her to care for a rat
while the owners were on vacation. He was
obese, lice-riddenandthe exact color of a wild
rat, but, Rushlau says, I couldnt believe how
wonderful he was. At the end of the two weeks
I wouldnt let him go back.
Despite their icky reputation, rats are play-
ful, affectionate and smart, too.
Erin Stromberg is a keeper at Think Tank,
an exhibit at the National Zoo that highlights
animal cognition. Alongside our brainy rela-
tives the orangutans, ThinkTankhouses three
brown rats. Stromberg suggests that the con-
ventional dislike for rats is due partly to their
intelligence. Theyre a challenge to control be-
cause theyre flexible andadaptable enoughto
learn to avoid new dangers and exploit new
food sources.
Stromberg also points to some recent sci-
ence that demonstrates rats capacity for em-
pathy: When given the choice, rats chose to
free other caged animals rather than take a
food reward.
The result is a pet that is much like a small
Rats! Rodents,
maligned or not,
make great pets
By LINDA LOMBARDI
For The Associated Press
L
ounging around on a couch or perch-
ing on a comfy crook in a lap might
sound like the perfect job for a dog or
a cat, but why not a bearded dragon?
Theyrealmost likealappet, Bill Pambian-
co Jr. of The Pet Zone said.
Abeardeddragonmight seemlike anunusu-
al pet purchase in a world long ruled by dogs,
cats and birds, but these out-of-the-ordinary
lizards are becoming increasingly popular for
those wanting to own a more offbeat sort of
animal. And plenty of the Pet Zones populace
qualify.
The store on Oak Street in Pittston is
a sort of emporiumof the exotic, a curi-
osity shop teeming with creatures not
necessarily warm and cuddly but no
less worthy of love and affection.
The bearded dragon is probably one
of the most popular exotics, Pambian-
co said. Theyre very easy to take care
of and very calm; they have great per-
sonalities. Theyre inquisitive and want
to be involved in everything.
Bearded dragons, which grow to 20
inches, need a 30- or 40-gallon tank and
vegetables and crickets to eat. They
arent aggressive either.
Neither is the rose hair tarantula, an-
other popular exotic-pet choice.
Theyre very laid back and a great
beginner spider, Pambianco said.
People get nervous because of the ven-
om, but its actually just like a bee
sting.
Tarantula tanks also are simple, re-
quiringonlyamoist bedandwater, plus
crickets to eat.
Pet Zone sells several tarantulas, but
the rose hair is the least aggressive.
Pet Zone also deals inscorpions. One
type of this sinister-looking animal, the
emperor scorpion, is considereda start-
er pet of that species.
Ive only been bitten twice by one in
25 years, Pambianco said. He likened
the venom to that of a bee.
Emperors can be held, but another
breed, the desert scorpion, is more of a
tank pet, good for admiring, not touch-
ing.
Theyre very solitary, a leave-me-
alone type of animal, Pambianco said.
Scorpions also require just crickets,
moist bedding and water.
Pet Zones snakes are a bit needier.
Theyre cold-blooded and so require
heat. The terrestrial, or ground, species
Pet Zone sells need tanks with heating
pads on the bottom.
Pet Zone doesnt sell any venomous
Im an emperor scorpion. I may look scary
but have a gentle soul, and you can hold me.
They call me an albino corn snake, but Im
actually pink and not likely to pee on you.
Im a lionfish, a cantankerous sort of crea-
ture, but I can really spice up an aquarium.
Im a rose hair tarantula, a beginner spider
and quite the night owl, except I dont hoot.
AIMEE DILGER PHOTOS/THE TIMES LEADER
Im a bearded dragon. Im pleasant and playful but do like to get all up in your business.
Take me home tonight?
Cats and dogs these days have some creepy-crawly competition
Because Im a red-footed tortoise, rainy days
and muddy days never get me down.

animals, snakes included. One
of the best snakes to own as a
starter pet is the California
King.
These animals are named
that way because theyre im-
mune to rattlesnake venom,
Pambianco said. In the wild,
these would eat other snakes,
making them the king of all
snakes.
Other choices include an albi-
no corn snake, light pink in col-
or, and a milk snake, often mis-
taken for its deadly cousin, the
coral snake. Milk snakes have
rings of red, yellow and black
and are harmless.
They try to scare you with
their colors, Pambianco said.
But if they cant scare you that
way theyll just pee on you.
EXOTIC
Continued from Page 1C
Pet Zones snakes are a
bit needier. Theyre
cold-blooded and so
require heat.
Bill Pambianco cradles a baby
boa at The Pet Zone.
It was like losing a family
member. I brought a (human)
friend for support and wasnt
the same for more than a week.
Waffles died soon after, which
meant decision time. More rats?
Abby and Honey, also females,
joined my clan a few weeks
later.
But they, too, developed tu-
mors and respiratory problems
within two years.
After they died, I decided I
was too much of a glutton for
punishment. Rats make wonder-
ful pets, but the pain of losing
them so soon was too much for
me.
Now Im sweet on my fiancs
cat, whom we affectionately call
Schnitzel. I guess Im moving up
the food chain. Whenever I visit
pet stores in search of the latest
cat-toy technology, it hurts to
even look at the rats. The heart-
ache aside, the memories I have
of these amazing little creatures
will always bring a smile to my
face.
RATS
dog but less time-consuming.
And, Kaplan observes, rats are ti-
dier than guinea pigs and less
likely to bite than a hamster.
Rats love human companion-
ship because they are social ani-
mals in the wild they live in
large colonies. That means they
also need the company of their
own kind, so keep at least two.
A rats other basic needs are
fairly simple: a good-quality, lab-
rat diet, fresh fruits and vegeta-
bles. Because they are rodents,
their teeth grow continually, so
you need to supply safe items for
them to chew on.
Interested enough to adopt?
Rats often end up with rescue
groups because pet stores are
careless about determining sex
and keeping the sexes separate.
Rats dont live long, but this
can be an advantage if your child
wants a pet; you wont be caring
for it for years after they go away
to college. But youmay findyour-
self with a rat obsession of your
own: When they adopt rats to
families, Kaplan says, So many
times the parents fall in love.

tles are actually getting the Heat Surge miracle heaters for just

SAVES ON BILLS: Everyone gets lower heat
bills and still stays warm. The new Heat Surge
HT-XL heater only uses 9 an hour of electricity
on the standard setting, yet blasts out an instant
heat wave in any room to keep you warm all day
long for just pennies an hour.

soothing heat.
2012 UNIVERSAL MEDIA SYNDICATE, INC. SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENT FEATURE ADVERTISEMENT FOR HEAT SURGE, LLC 8000 FREEDOM AVE., N. CANTON OH 44720
We have to make room in our warehouses
so for the next 48 hours were giving every
single surplus heater away for just $97, said
Jacob Drakenbrod, Operations Manager for
Heat Surge.
Thats why starting at precisely 8:30am this
morning, brand new miracle heaters that nor-
mally go for two hundred forty-nine dollars
are actually being given away for just $97 to
the general public for the next 48 hours.
The only thing todays readers need to do is
call the Toll Free Hotline before the 48-hour
deadline with their order for the handmade
Amish Fireplace Mantle. The first 16,049 read-
ers who do will instantly be awarded the Heat
Surge miracle heater for just $97.
You just cant find custom made Amish man-
tles like this anywhere. That makes the hand-
made Amish mantle a real steal for just one
hundred ninety-seven dollars since the entire
cost of the new miracle heater is just $97.
These brand new Heat Surge HT-XL fire-
places actually roll from room-to-room so you
can turn your thermostat way down and never
be cold. That way, everyone who gets them first
can immediately use the fireplaces ultra efficient
zone heating to start saving on their heat bills.
To make room in their warehouses for other
products, portable Amish encased fireplaces
are being delivered directly to the doors of all
those who beat the deadline.
Everyone will be using the heaters to turn
their furnace off early this year and save a
ton of money on their heat bills this winter,
Drakenbrod said.
These remarkable new heaters are being
called a miracle because they have the pat-
ented Fireless Flame technology that gives
you the peaceful flicker of a real fire but
without any flames, fumes, ashes or mess.
Everyone is getting them because all you do is
plug them in.
And heres the best part. Readers who beat
the 48-hour order deadline are getting their
new miracle heaters for just ninety-seven dol-
lars when encased in the Amish built real
wood fireplace mantles. The mantles are being
handmade in Ohio, right in the heart of Amish
country where they are beautifully hand-
rubbed, stained and varnished.
The Amish handmade mantle actually turns
the new miracle heater into a fine piece of fur-
niture. These fireplaces are so compact they
go anywhere, yet they throw off an instant
heat wave in any room. And they only use
about the same electric per hour as a coffee
maker, so its easy to stay warm in any room of
the house for just pennies an hour.
You see, with your furnace you are pay-
ing to heat areas of your home that youre not
using. And since the new miracle heater only
uses about 9 an hour of electricity on the
standard setting, the potential energy savings
are absolutely incredible, said Drakenbrod.
Were trying to make sure no one gets left
out, but you better hurry because we only have
16,049 miracle heaters to hand out to todays
readers. To make sure everyone has a fair
chance to get them, readers can only have two
per household just as long as they call before
the deadline, confirms Drakenbrod.
Getting the Heat Surge HT-XL fireplace is
the smart way to slash winter heat bills and
still stay warm all winter long. And getting the
new miracle heater for just $97 is like putting
one hundred fifty bucks in your pocket and
you can save even more on your heat bills.
Were bracing ourselves for all the calls
because everyone wants to save on their heat
bills and stay warm. But those that really want
to save a ton will be telling our operators they
want two Amish fireplace mantles and theyll
get two miracle heaters for just ninety-seven
dollars each, said Drakenbrod.
So when the lines are busy keep trying.
We promise to get every call. Then well have
a delivery truck out to you in no time at all so
you can stay warm and start saving on your
heat bills right away, Drakenbrod said.
Youll instantly feel the bone soothing heat
in any room. You will never have to be cold and
miserable again, he said.
How It Works: The HEAT SURGE HT-XL
heater is a work of engineering genius
from the China coast so advanced, you
simply plug it into any standard outlet.
It uses only about 9 of electric an hour
on the standard setting. Yet, it produc-
es up to an amazing 4,606 BTUs on the
high setting. So watch out, a powerful on
board hi-tech heat turbine silently forces
hot air out into the room from the vent so
you feel the bone soothing heat instantly.
It even has certication of Underwriters
Laboratories coveted UL listing. It also
comes with a limited full year replacement
or money back warranty less shipping plus
a 30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee.

the top vent

high blood pressure

your column about National Kidney

Foundation website at kidney.org.
When I attended their free screen-

ation Program (KEEP), I found out
that high blood pressure can damage
the kidneys filtering units, that diabe-
tes is the No. 1 risk factor for kidney
disease and how important it is to
keep them both under control.
That screening was a wake-up
call for me. I now take insulin for
my diabetes and medication for my
blood pressure. I have cut out salt
and starch, added lots of vegetables
to my diet, and 30 minutes on the sta-
tionary bike to my daily routine. Last
year when I was screened again at the
KEEP, I learned that my kidney func-
tion has increased.
Tens of millions of Americans are
at risk for kidney disease. Wont you
please remind your readers again how
important it is to be screened? For
me it was a lifesaver.
Jerrydean Queen, New Orleans
Dear Jerrydean: Im pleased that my
column alerted you to your risk for
kidney disease, and that you caught
it in time.
Readers, March 8 is World Kidney
Day. The National Kidney Foundation
is again urging Americans to learn
the risk factors for kidney disease and
be screened so you can prevent dam-
age to these vital organs. For advice
on how to stay healthy and a schedule
of free screenings not only during
March but also throughout the year
visit the National Kidney Founda-
tion online at kidney.org.
Dear Abby: Someone gave a very
inappropriate eulogy for someone my
family cares about dearly. Is it worth
it to say something to him? Alton
lost his mother, a really good person
who was loved by many, and he at-
tacked her during his eulogy.
Alton shared quite a few details
about his mothers life that no one
needed to know. But the bottom line
is, she was a good person who made
some mistakes toward the end of her
life. Alton is arrogant and mean and
has a long history of verbally attack-
ing family members.
People are still talking about the
eulogy. There were individuals at the
service who called him names, and a
few walked out in tears. Word spread
to people in other states within min-
utes after the service ended.
Is it worth pointing out to an ar-
rogant jerk that his eulogy was appall-
ing and has caused a lot of anger?
Couldnt Believe My Ears in
Arizona
Dear Couldnt Believe Your Ears:
I vote no, because I seriously doubt
that anything you could say would
shame an arrogant, mean jerk into ad-
mitting he made a mistake by speak-
ing disrespectfully of his mother at
her funeral. A better way to handle it
would be for those who were offend-
ed to avoid him. A deafening silence
may convey the message more loudly
than words.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Free kidney screening turned into a wake-up call for better health
To receive a collection of Abbys most
memorable and most frequently re-
quested poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus
check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in
Canada) to: Dear Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box
447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage
is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You will
find yourself in less than inspir-
ing circumstances. The lack of
stimuli presents a chance to day-
dream about pleasant places or
recall a happy memory.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Just
as every item you own needs a
place where it belongs, every
person in your life fulfills a role.
Its as though your emotional life
is getting reorganized.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Frustration is only a dead end if
it causes you to quit. Dont give
up. Just because things arent
coming together easily doesnt
mean they wont come together
at all. The next solution you try
may work like a charm.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You
like it when silly things happen.
It makes for a good story later.
There are people in your life who
thrill to hear your stories, by the
way. Call one of them tonight.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Youll give
thought as to the functionality of
things in your life. If they dont
serve an obvious purpose, youll
be in just the kind of mood to
lighten your load.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Time
is one of the worst things to
lose or waste. Thats why its
important to think ahead, make
the best arrangements you can
make and bring something to do
while you wait.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Responsibilities come into play.
Youll do what it takes to main-
tain your lifestyle and relation-
ships. Youll take care of the
things you own, and they will
work for you for many years
to come.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Youll
enjoy your time alone today and
realize how truly comfortable
you are in your own company. It
will be easier to be a good friend
to others when youre first a
good friend to yourself.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
To outsiders, you may appear to
be easygoing. You are most dis-
cerning in matters pertaining to
how you look, where you go and
what you put in your mouth.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Youre even more powerful than
usual, so be careful what you
think about. Your thoughts have
a way of becoming realities. Fill
your head with the outcomes
youd like to occur.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Shake off the early mornings
dreamy mood, and get busy.
Everyone knows that someday
never comes probably because
it doesnt exist. There is only
today.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Matters
of scale will have a bearing on
your situation. Youll go home
with the prize if and only if the
size of your game matches the
game youre in.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (March 1). A
burden will be lifted in the next
four weeks. Giving credit where
credit is due will bring luck.
Often this will involve honor-
ing the spiritual aspects of your
life and the many ways love
shows up in your world. Nature
brings joy and healing through
the spring. June brings an eye-
opening journey. Aquarius and
Leo people adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 40, 42, 35,
28 and 19.
