WASHINGTON The

U.S. is fully capable of de-


fending itself against a
North Korean ballistic mis-
sile attack, the White House
said Thursday, after Pyong-
yang threatened a pre-emp-
tive nuclear strike on the
United States.
The threat fromthe North
Koreans came ahead of a
unanimous vote in the U.N.
Security Council approving
its toughest sanctions yet on
the North in response to an
atomic test last month.
North Korea has escalated
its bellicose statements this
week as the tightening of
U.N. sanctions loomed. It
has also threatened to scrap
the cease-re that ended the
1950-53 Korean War.
I can tell you that the
United States is fully ca-
pable of defending against
any North Korean ballistic
missile attack, said White
House spokesman Jay Car-
ney.
North Korea has now con-
ducted three nuclear tests.
In the past year, it has made
strides toward its goal of
having a nuclear weapon
that could threaten the U.S.
although experts doubt it
yet has the capability to hit
the U.S. with a ballistic mis-

THE GUIDE
Two high-ranking Luzerne County ofcials
are pushing for a countywide program zeroing
in on truancy because excessive school absence
is often a sign of deeper family
problems.
Luzerne County District At-
torney Stefanie Salavantis and
Judge Tina Polachek Gartley
said they have been discussing
the need with other county de-
partments and hope to formal-
ize a proposed program involv-
ing multiple county agencies.
Salavantis points to Lacka-
wanna Countys model tru-
ancy program, which assigns
county Children and Youth
agency caseworkers to work
with students and families
whenever a school reports a
student has racked up a cer-
tain number of unexcused ab-
sences usually ve missed
days.
The caseworkers try to address the problems
preventing children from attending school so
they dont end up in court for truancy or, later
in life, in the criminal justice system.
Without a countywide program, school dis-
tricts are on their own with mixed approaches
to truancy, Salavantis said. Truancy has been
linked to juvenile crime, which is on the rise in

youth might later end up in court.

Stand: A nearly 13-hour stall tactic
on the Senate oor that thrust a tea
party hero back into the national
spotlight a real-life version of the
movie Mr. Smith Goes to Washing-
ton.
Kentucky Sen. Rand Pauls li-
buster on Wednesday of President
Barack Obamas pick for CIA direc-
tor was the latest notable move by
PLYMOUTH TWP. A
group of 30 Plymouth Town-
ship households awaiting a sec-
ond round of hazard mitigation
home buyouts can expect pay-
ments to be ready in 12 to 18
months, state ofcials said dur-
ing a meeting Thursday.
While that might not be
fast enough to satisfy all those
awaiting buyouts, Thomas
Hughes, of the Pennsylva-
nia Emergency Management
Agency, said its well within
the three-year window from
the buyout authorization date
required by law and faster
than the process has ever
moved before.
I know you folks have been

said. Were moving faster than
we ever have before.

Despite raising bail, Walter Raven is
staying in jail.
Raven, 60, of Jenkins Township, was go-
ing to post $160,000 bail through a bonds-
man on Thursday but Luzerne County
Judge Michael T. Vough believes he re-
mains a danger to society.
My job is to protect the citizens of Lu-
zerne County, Vough said.
Raven is facing a trial
in May on charges he
drove away after county
detectives and Pittston
Township police allege
he turned his Buick into
the path of a motorcycle
operated by Donnie Pi-
zano, 38, on state Route
315 on Sept. 2. Pizano
and a passenger on the motorcycle, Robin
Walsh, 39, both of Plains Township, were
killed in the crash.
Neither Pizano nor Walsh was wearing
a helmet.
Raven has been jailed since his arrest
later in the day on Sept. 2 on unrelated
drug offenses.
Raven, through his attorney, Anthony
Moses, tried to have his bail modied but

Lawton: Which programs
can we afford to offer?
Luzerne County Manager Robert Lawton
said hes encouraging managers to think
outside the box and come up with programs
to address county problems, such as truancy,
but the challenge will be identifying funding to
start new initiatives.
Theres always a cost, Lawton said.
Lawton told County Council last week he
wants to prepare a report identifying all county
services and their costs separated into two
categories required and optional.
We must know how much discretionary
spending we have available once we have ful-
lled our state and federal mandates, Lawton
said Thursday.

Hazleton residents
propose armed groups
HAZLETON City Council
addressed crime within Hazle-
ton at its meeting on Thursday
night.
Mark Rabo addressed council,
suggesting the crime rate and
constraints of the citys budget
warranted the presence of an
armed crime watch group to pa-
trol city streets. Rabo, a former
Marine and area businessman,
said he feels the arming of area
residents will act as a deterrent
to crime and that guns would be
used only as a last resort.
We believe we have a right
to bear arms for this very pur-
pose, said Rabo, citing recent
incidents of violence.
Dominic Tolerico, in agree-
ment with Rabo, told council,
Residents dont need to seek
permission to bear arms; this is
their right according to the Con-
stitution.
Resident Sylvia Thomas, who
belongs to an existing crime
watch, said she disagrees with
arming area residents to combat
crime. The whole idea of hav-
ing people of Hazleton feel they
need to carry guns makes me
sad, she said.
Council President Jim Perry
encouraged residents to confer
with police Chief Frank DeAn-
drea. He is our head law en-
forcement ofcer with a great
deal of experience, and we need
his input into this issue, Perry
said.
DeAndrea and other ofcials
will be available at an upcom-
ing town hall meeting to ad-
dress crime watch issues, said
councilwoman Jean Mope. We
want crime watch members to
be doing things according to the
law and in an appropriate way,
Mope said.
Councilman Jack Mundie
commended residents for the
courage to offer ideas regarding
making the city safer.
In another matter, council
unanimously voted to table a
resolution authorizing transfer
of liquor license R-5450 to Ha-
zleton Heights Entertainment
LLC. Attorney Anthony Lucad-
amo, representing the business,
said its plan for the property at
601 S. Poplar St. would include
a family restaurant serving
breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Solicitor Christopher Slusser
indicated the city wanted to do
more research about possible
restrictions on the license, in-
cluding hours of sale. It was
also brought to Slussers atten-
tion the property was zoned as
industrial and not commercial,
thus making its projected use
for a restaurant out of compli-
ance with zoning code.
Although the property has
in the past been used commer-
cially, it still remains zoned as
industrial, said resident Grace
Cuozzo. And its still wrong.
In another matter, Slusser
said he was still working on the
storm fee ordinance and would
have a draft prepared for review
within the next week.
In closing the meeting, Perry
thanked those who attended
for discussing matters in a co-
operative and appropriate man-
ner. We are all stakeholders in
this city, he said, and the city
needs the efforts of all of us.
The next meeting of City
Council is set for 5:30 p.m.
March 20.

A Princess on the mat
PITTSTON Members of
the Greater Pittston YMCA
know her as Chrissy Ryzner,
the Ys member engagement
coordinator.
But in her other life, she is
Princess Chrissy Johnson, the
East Coast Professional Wres-
tlings Womans Champion.
On Saturday night, Princess
Chrissy will defend her cham-
pionship belt at the Greater
Pittston YMCA as a featured
event on the 10-match card that
starts at 7:45 p.m. Doors will
open at 7 p.m. The other match-
es will feature ECPW male and
female wrestlers.
After defeating Little Jack-
ie Daniels in December, John-
son and Daniels will meet again
in the ring to battle for the belt.
Johnson, 27, is from Duryea.
Daniels is erce competition,
but no match for me, she said.
This is my town, and I will not
be losing my belt on my home
turf.
Promoters said the Decem-
ber match between the feisty
competitors electried the
stage in the gymnasium of the
Greater Pittston YMCA. And
Johnson, who has been wres-
tling professionally for seven
years, fueled the re as the re-
match approached.
Im excited to be back at
the Greater Pittston YMCA for
this match and cant wait to get
back into the ring with Dan-
iels, Johnson said.
Johnson said there are four
women competing in the ECPW
womans division. She said she
enjoys the competition. Ive al-
ways been a fan of professional
wrestling, so I thought Id give
it a shot, she said.
Johnson, a graduate of
Pittston Area and the Fortis In-
stitute in Forty Fort, also works
part time as a paralegal. She
said the wrestling career is fun.
I urge people to come out
for a good time, she said. Its
good, family entertainment
something different in the
area.
Part of the proceeds and all
of the concession revenue from
the event will go to programs
at the YMCA, Johnson said.
Robert Duliba, mission and
membership development
director at the YMCA, said
Johnson takes on an alter
ego when she gets in the ring.
In her job at the YMCA, she
is always nice and sweet and
friendly, he said. But when she
wrestles she becomes aggres-
sive.
She becomes a totally differ-
ent person when she wrestles,
Duliba said.
When Johnson was hired,
she didnt talk about her week-
end wrestling, Duliba said. But
when he found out she was a
wrestler, he decided to bring
an event to the YMCA. We try
to think outside the box with
our fundraising here, he said.
This is a different type event
where mom and dad and the
kids can come and watch some-
thing they normally see on TV.

the son of former presidential
candidate Ron Paul. A freshman
senator, Rand Paul is a growing
political force in his own right.
The eye doctor challenged the
Republican Partys establish-
ment in his state to win his seat
in 2010 and now commands at-
tention as a defender of limited
government.
Paul, a critic of Obamas aerial
drone policy, started his long
speaking feat just before noon
Wednesday by demanding that
the president or Attorney Gener-
al Eric Holder issue a statement
assuring him the unmanned air-
craft would not be used in the
United States to kill terrorism
suspects who are U.S. citizens.
I will speak until I can no lon-
ger speak, Paul said.
Two conservative Republi-
can stalwarts, John McCain of
Arizona and Lindsey Graham
of South Carolina, took him to
task Thursday on the Senate
oor. But Holder complied with
his request, sending him a brief
note saying the president does
not have the authority to use a
drone to kill a U.S. citizen on
American soil if the citizen is
not engaged in combat.
The Senate voted Thursday
afternoon to conrm John Bren-
nan as CIA director, 63-34. Paul
voted no.
Pauls performance marked
on Twitter by the hashtag (hash)
StandWithRand turned into a
trending topic on the social me-
dia site and prompted a torrent
of phone calls from tea party
supporters urging senators to
support him. The National Re-
publican Senatorial Committee
used the libuster to raise about
$75,000 for GOP candidates.
At 12 hours, 52 minutes, the
libuster was roughly the same
length as the six Star Wars
lms combined.
Paul rst stepped onto the
national stage in 2010 when he
vanquished Senate Republican
leader Mitch McConnells cho-
sen Kentucky candidate.

Public reporting of Luzerne
County government hirings and
other personnel actions largely
disappeared under home rule
because the elected council is
involved only in the appoint-
ment of the manager and eight
division heads.
Under the prior government
system, the elected commission-
ers handled personnel decisions
and had to approve them at pub-
lic meetings.
County Manager Robert Law-
ton has restored public disclo-
sure of personnel matters by
posting a monthly report on his
section of the county website,
www.luzernecounty.org.
Lawtons rst report, which
was recently posted, lists new
hires, pay adjustments, retire-
ments, layoffs and other person-
nel changes that occurred in
January, including those in the
court and District Attorneys Of-
ce.
The manager appoints, pro-
motes, disciplines, suspends
and removes employees in
departments that are not con-
trolled by the court, controller
or district attorney.
According to the report, nine
people were hired in January:
Joseph Dessoye, John Kennedy
and Angela Sperrazza, court

tants, $30,000
each; Desiree

and Raymond Letcher, prison

Six court probation ofce em-
ployees were laid off during the
month: Thomas Pepperling and
Robert Rachilla, probation of-

WILKES-BARRE The city
has backtracked on its demand
to hold the prospective buyer of
University Corners responsible
for repaying $500,000 loaned to
the developer of the retail space
in the downtown complex.
The administration will seek
councils approval next week to
return the loan to its original
state as a grant, DrewMcLaugh-
lin, administrative coordinator
for the city, said Thursday.
Doing so will free business-
man Joe Amato from the debt
and move along plans for his
investment company, TLC One
Holdings LLC, to buy the prop-
erty along South Main and East
Northampton streets.
McLaughlin on Thursday said
Amato was never a signatory to
the loan.
Amato of Moosic, a former
champion drag racer, could not
be reached for comment Thurs-
day.
The complex, anchored by
R/C Wilkes-Barre Movies 14,
is nearly full, except for a large
section along East Northamp-
ton Street eyed for an Irish Pub.
That tenant space has been
vacant long enough, McLaugh-
lin said.
The loft condominiums that
make up the residential compo-
nent of the complex are not part
of the deal and have fared much
better.
The city had to consult with
the state and the Greater Wil-
kes-Barre Chamber of Business
and Industry about the loan and
could not simply wipe it away,
McLaughlin said.
The loan is half of the $1 mil-
lion in local share state gam-
bling account grant that the
city applied for and received
from the state Department of

the city split the money into a
grant and a no-interest loan for
William Geary Jr., whose Los
Angeles, Calif.-based Carlsberg

Geary, who fled for personal

struggled to ll the retail space
and had tried to sell the still-va-

The loan portion was to be

purchased the $8.4 million note
on the mortgage issued by a
consortium of banks in 2008 to
a company set up by the Greater

Ive been interested in facts
about our presidents since I
was a kid, Cook said. I found
a great way to study the presi-
dency was to collect related
memorabilia.
He said doing the research
of presidential memorabilia
lead to more and more facts
some never before known
by the public. The more he
learned, the more he wanted
to search for more facts and
more memorabilia, he said.
The intention of this book
is to inspire, he said. Collect-
ing presidential memorabilia
is a true testament to the peo-
ple and events that have made
history and shaped a nation.
Cook started writing the
book in 2005 and he credits
his wife, Diane, for giving him
that extra push to nish it.
Cook spoke at the Jimmy
Carter Museum in Plains, Ga.
on Presidents Day and he left
a copy of the book for the for-
mer president. The book will
be distributed at National Park
Service Jimmy Carter Muse-
um in Georgian and in other
National Parks gift stores.
Some quirky presidential facts
from Cooks book:
At the time of his death on
Jan. 5, 1933, former President
Calvin Coolidge was working
on a jigsaw puzzle of George
Washington.
James Madison, at 5 feet,
4 inches tall, was the shortest
U.S. president. At 100 pounds,
he was the lightest president as
well.
At 6 feet, 4 inches, Abra-
ham Lincoln was the tallest
president.
One of Lincolns last of-
cial acts was to sign legislation
for the formation of the U.S. Se-
cret Service.
James Garfeld could write
in Latin with one hand and
Greek with the other hand
at the same time.
At 332 pounds, William H.
Taft was the heaviest president.
Herbert Hoover never took
a salary as president.
Harry Trumans middle
initial S was his entire middle
name.
Ronald Reagan was the
oldest president to leave ofce
77.

dedicated to the sale of entire

ness in 2002, handling estates
liquidations, from large or small
households to commercial busi-
nesses.
The Cooks live in Plains Town-

SCRANTON The operator
of a stafng agency that sent il-
legal immigrants to work at busi-
nesses in the Wilkes-Barre and
Scranton areas was sentenced
in federal court on Thursday,
the U.S. Attorneys Ofce for the
Middle District of Pennsylvania
announced.
Ethan Nguyen, 34, of Phoenix-
ville, Pa., was sentenced by U.S.
District Court Judge Edwin M.
Kosik to serve 12 months and
one day in prison, two years su-
pervised release, pay a $300 ne
and pay $45,128 in restitution to
the state Department of Unem-
ployment Insurance.
According to U.S. Attorney Pe-
ter J. Smith, beginning in 2007,
Nguyen operated Four Seasons
Services, a temporary employ-
ment agency with ofces in
Philadelphia. Together with co-
defendants Andri Gunawan and
Eleni Nguyen, the employment
agency contracted with various
third-party businesses to provide
temporary day-labor employees,
the prosecutor said.
The co-defendants would
fulll these contracts by hiring
illegal immigrants and paying
them cash under the table, fail-
ing to pay various federal, state
and local taxes, fees or compen-
sation insurance, Smith said. In
this way, the temporary employ-
ment agency was able to greatly
increase its prots for providing
temporary labor, he said.
Four Seasons Services was
later changed to business names
Direct Stafng Services (DSS),
Express Stafng Services (ESS)
and First Choice Stafng (FCS).
Ethan Nguyen, Andri Gu-
nawan and Eleni Nguyen were
charged in separate criminal
informations. All three pleaded
guilty.

WASHINGTON Efforts
to stave off a late March gov-
ernment shutdown shifted
to the Senate after House
Republicans swiftly passed
legislation to keep federal
agencies running, while also
easing some effects of $85
billion in budget cuts.
The House legislation, ap-
proved Wednesday on a bi-
partisan vote, is the rst step
toward averting a possible
scal showdown this month.
If another budget crisis can
be avoided, it could clear
the way for lawmakers and
President Barack Obama to
restart talks on a longer-term
decit reduction plan.
That was Obamas focus
during a rare dinner with a
dozen Republican senators
Wednesday night at a hotel
near the White House and
seemed certain to be Topic
A Thursday when Rep. Paul
Ryan, chairman of the House
Budget Committee and last
years GOP vice presidential
nominee, joined the presi-
dent for lunch Thursday at
the White House.
House Speaker John
Boehner who has not
been among the Republicans
the president has reached
out to in recent days said
Obamas recent overtures
were a hopeful sign that
progress could be made in

how to reduce the federal

efforts wouldnt get very far
if Obama continues to insist
on tax increases.
While no real break-

emerge from Wednesdays

fact that it happened was
signicant given the lack of
direct engagement between
Obama and rank-and-le Re-
publicans over the past two
years.
White House and congres-

It was, I thought, a very

VATICAN CITY
Vietnams cardinal arrives
T
he last cardinal who will partici-
pate in the conclave to elect the
next pope arrived in Rome on Thurs-
day, meaning a date can now be set for
the election. One U.S. cardinal said a
decision on the start date is expected
soon.
Some American and other cardinals
had said they wanted to continue the
pre-conclave meetings that have been
going on all week for as long as it
takes so they can discern who among
them has the stuff to be pope and
discuss the problems of the church.
Some Vatican-based cardinals,
defensive about criticisms of the Vati-
cans internal governance that have
been aired recently, seemed to want to
get on with the vote, arguing theres
no reason to delay.
Once the conclave starts, there is
very little time for discussion. Cardi-
nals take two votes in the morning,
two votes in the afternoon all
of them conducted in silent prayer,
not chatter, amid the frescoes of the
Sistine Chapel. As a result, setting the
date for the start of the conclave is
akin to setting the deadline for when
pre-conclave deliberations will nish.
WASHINGTON
World temperatures spike
A new study looking at 11,000
years of climate temperatures shows
the world in the middle of a dramatic
U-turn, lurching from near-record cool-
ing to a heat spike.
Research released Thursday in the
journal Science uses fossils of tiny or-
ganisms to reconstruct global temper-
atures back to the end of the last ice
age. It shows how the globe for several
thousands of years was cooling until a
dramatic spike in the 20th century.
Study author Shaun Marcott says
his data show that 1900 to 1910 was
one of the coolest in the past 11,300
years. Yet 100 years later, the decade
was one of the warmest.
DUNLAP, CALIF.
Lion mauls intern to death
Authorities are trying to determine
what provoked a lion at an exotic
animal park in Central California to
attack and maul to death a 24-year-old
woman, who had been on the job as an
intern there for just a few weeks.
The woman was attacked and killed
Wednesday when she entered the male
African lions enclosure at Cat Haven
about 45 miles east of Fresno, authori-
ties said.
Sheriffs deputies responding to an
emergency call from Cat Haven found
the woman severely injured and still
lying inside the enclosure with the
lion nearby, Fresno County sheriffs Lt.
Bob Miller said.

Syrian rebels post videos
Several United Nations peacekeep-
ers who were abducted by Syrian
rebels said in videos posted online
Thursday that they are safe and being
treated well, even as activists reported
clashes and shelling in the tense bor-
der area with Israel where the Filipino
troops were being held.
Opposition ghters detained 21
peacekeepers near the village of Jam-
lah in the Golan Heights on Wednes-
day the rst time U.N. troops have
encountered trouble since they began
patrolling an Israeli-Syrian armistice
line dividing the plateau nearly 40
years ago, said Timor Goksel, a Beirut-
based former United Nations ofcial
in the region.

Panel OKs
measures
on illegal
gun buys
WASHINGTON The Sen-
ate Judiciary Committee ap-
proved legislation Thursday
toughening laws against people
who illegally buy guns for others
as lawmakers cast the rst votes
in Congress to curb rearms
since Decembers horric shoot-
ings at a Connecticut elemen-
tary school.
The panel was also debating
bills banning assault weapons
and high capacity magazines,
requiring background checks
for nearly all gun purchases,
and providing more money for
schools to buy video cameras
and other safety equipment.
The committee voted 11-7
to approve the measure, which
boosted penalties against straw
purchases, when people legally
buy rearms for criminals or
others legally barred from own-
ing one. Sen. Charles Grassley,
R-Iowa, was the only Republican
to vote in favor of the measure,
whose chief sponsor was the
panels chairman, Sen. Patrick
Leahy, D-Vt.
We know that many guns
used in criminal activities are
acquired through strawpurchas-
es. We need a meaningful solu-
tion to this serious problem,
Leahy said.
Though the committee vote
was mostly party-line, other
Republicans co-sponsored the
measure, and others indicated
that there might be more GOP
support by the time the legis-
lation reaches the full Senate,
probably in April.
White House spokesman Jay
Carney told reporters that the
administration favors tough
penalties on gun trafckers and
straw purchasers who funnel
guns to dangerous criminals.
Even so, evidence was abun-
dant of partisan clashes ahead
as the two parties sparred over
limiting rearms. Though the
panel recessed before voting on
the proposed assault weapons
ban, but debate on the measure
made a party-line vote on it
seem likely.
Grassley said everyone wants
to prevent more killings like the
deaths of 20 rst-graders and six
staffers at Sandy Hook Elemen-
tary School in Newtown, Conn.
But he said gun control does not
work and accused Democrats of
wanting to impose more gun
restrictions on law-abiding citi-
zens.
All four measures were ex-
pected to pass the committee.
Several proposeed rules on
gun purchases could reach
full Senate in April.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Arkansas now
has the nations most restrictive abortion
law a near-ban on the procedure from
the 12th week of pregnancy unless a
lawsuit or court action intervenes before
it takes effect this summer.
Lawmakers in the Republican-dom-
inated Legislature deed Gov. Mike
Beebe, overriding the Democrats veto.
The House voted 56-33 on Wednesday
to override Beebes veto, a day after the
Senate voted to do the same.
The votes come less than a week after
the Legislature overrode a veto of a sepa-
rate bill banning most abortions starting
in the 20th week of pregnancy. That bill
took effect immediately after the nal
override vote, whereas the 12-week ban
wont take effect until this summer.
Abortion rights proponents have said
theyll sue to block the 12-week ban from
taking effect. Beebe warned lawmakers
that both measures would end up wast-
ing taxpayers money with the state de-
fending them in court, where, he said,
they are likely to fail.
The measures supporters, who expect-
ed court challenges, were undaunted.
Not the governor, nor anyone else
other than the courts, can determine if
something is constitutional or unconsti-
tutional, Rep. Bruce Westerman, a Re-
publican fromHot Springs, said in urging
his colleagues to override Beebe.
Bill sponsor Sen. Jason Rapert, a Re-
publican from Conway, watched the vote
from the House gallery and said a num-
ber of law rms have offered to help the
state defend the laws in court, if it comes
to that.
Im just grateful that this body has
continued to stand up for the bills that
have passed. The eyes of the entire na-
tion were on the Arkansas House of Rep-
resentatives today, he said.
Beebe rejected both measures for the
same reasons, saying they are uncon-
stitutional and that they contradict the
1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized
abortion until a fetus could viably survive
outside the womb. A fetus is generally
considered viable at 22 to 24 weeks.
Ark. braced for abortion battle
Supporters of restrictive new laws say
theyre ready for court showdown.

Dieters do better when bribed, study shows
Willpower apparently can be bought.
The chance to win or lose $20 a month
enticed dieters in a yearlong study to
drop an average of 9 pounds four
times more weight than others who
were not offered dough to pass up the
doughnuts.
Many employers, insurers and Inter-
net programs dangle dollars to try to
change bad habits such as smoking or
not exercising, but most studies have
found this doesnt work very well or for
very long.
The newstudy, done with Mayo Clin-
ic employees, was the longest test yet
of nancial incentives for weight loss.
Doctors think it succeeded because it
had a mix of carrots and sticks pen-
alties for not losing weight, multiple
ways to earn cash for succeeding, and a
chance to recoup lost money if you fell
off the diet wagon and later repented.
Incentives are not like training
wheels where people learn healthy hab-
its and then will continue themon their
own you have to keep them up for
them to work, said one study leader,
Dr. Steve Driver of Mayo in Rochester,
Minn.
And if youre looking to set up a sys-
tem like this at work or among friends,
the key is to make it self-sustaining,
Driver said. The Mayo one did that by
having people who didnt lose weight
put penalties into a fund that paid re-
wards to those who did.
Its also a good idea to make people
pony up in advance. One woman ew
into a tizzy when she stepped on a scale
at a weigh-in and was told shed have
to pay.
She headed for the door but later
came back and paid, Driver said. Peo-
ple in Minnesota are pretty honest.
Chance to win or lose $20 a month
enticed dieters to drop an average
of 9 pounds over one year.

ETS TALK ETHICS
As in: Luzerne Coun-
ty politicians have clear-
ly proven themselves
ethically challenged (see Kids
for Cash judge convictions,
Pay to teach school board
convictions, and all those other
crooks caught in the federal cor-
ruption probe).
As in: It took three tries be-
fore county residents approved
a new form of government
through the Home Rule pro-
cess. Why did home rule suc-
ceed in 2010 when it had been
rejected twice earlier? While
voters had their own varied rea-
sons, it seems safe to say the nu-
merous charges and convictions
of county politicians in preced-
ing years offered strong impetus
for such dramatic reform.
As in: One of the most appeal-
ing aspects of the new form of
government was and remains
the creation of an ethics code
and an ethics commission to
police it. One of the simple and
obvious aspects of the code was
that those required to abide by
it have to sign a form acknowl-
edging as much.
Yet as a story in Wednesdays
Times Leader noted, more than
a year after the newgovernment
began, nearly half the people re-
quired to sign the acknowledge-
ment have not.
The ethics commission re-
leased a report outlining prob-
lems implementing the code.
Some have strong merit: A
lack of funds to provide an at-
torney for someone who les a
complaint if needed to push the
complaint through the system;
a conicted process that tries to
maintain condentiality while
complying with the state Right-
to-Know rules.
Others sound easy to x, such
as Assistant District Attorney
Jim McMonagles concern that
the code wording needs to be
specic when it refers to parts
of the home rule charter.
And some sound like legal
nitpicking, most notably Mc-
Monagles concern about a pas-
sage that says those who must
abide by the code are always
expected to reect on and serve
what they believe to be in the
public interest and not to serve
personal interest and gain.
By what standard is it re-
viewed, McMonagle wrote,
and who gets to decide that my
decision, made in the moment,
was not appropriate under the
code?
It is certainly appropriate
that the ethics commission and
county ofcials scrutinize the
ethics code in an effort to make
it work well. But they must not
let the implementation of the
code be delayed and degraded
through endless quibbles.
Thanks to the FBI probe that
nabbed more than 30 people,
Luzerne County gained nation-
al notoriety for nurturing a cul-
ture of corruption. The failure
to fully implement the ethics
code after so much time sadly
shouts out to the world that,
when it comes to ethics, we still
dont get it.

N FEBRUARY 2007, the
Dow Jones industrial aver-
age signaled the tumult to
come. After closing at a
record high of 12,767 on Feb.
16, the Dow opped 416 points
on Feb. 27. This page tried to
soothe shocked investors with
a prediction that we guaran-
teed, in writing, to be infallible:
Someday the Dow will indeed
close at its nal record high.
Feb. 16, 2007, wasnt the day.
The Dow did reach higher
highs in subsequent months.
Then a deep plummet drove the
impatient, the disgusted and
the fearful from the market.
We recalled that boom and
bust Tuesday as the Dow closed
at its latest zenith, 14,254. Hav-
ing proven our infallibility once,
were tempted to issue another
infallible prediction now, this
one ending: March 5, 2013
wasnt the day.
We might add, though, that
Dow highs, like pride, tend to
goeth before a fall. Markets
guarantee only one investment
return: turbulence.
How to survive the ride? Per-
petual patience always prevails.
Albert O. Nicholas, the Milwau-
kee brain behind the Nicholas
funds investment group, once
shared this wisdom with a Chi-
cago reporter at the end of an
interview about market volatil-
ity:
Two-thirds of the time,
stocks are going up, Nicholas
said, approximately. One-third
of the time, theyre going down.
Dont try to guess which third is
which.
Nerves-of-steel investors who
live by that credo, who didnt
ee stocks during the Great Re-
cession, on Tuesday got their
vindication. And the future?
Once more:
Dont try to guess which third
is which.

Show your concern now
about property taxes
H
ow bad do you want school prop-
erty taxes eliminated? According to
our local newspaper in December, 2012,
Luzerne County had 162 properties up for
sheriff sale and the number in the state is
more than 10,000. Those people will lose
their homes. Many more will be forced to
sell because they cannot pay their school
property taxes. But that could change if
everyone gets involved. Remember the
people are the government and no one
should lose their homes, especially when
the mortgage is paid off. As it stands, with
property taxes you do not own your home.
These issues will be addressed as AF-
SCME 13 sub-chapter 8702 retirees will
meet on March 21, Thursday, at 1 p.m. at
the Luzerne County Annex Building, 2009

The meeting will be open to the public.

Acknowledging unsung
work of prison guards
M
ost people dont understand the du-
ties and responsibilities of a correc-
tion ofcer. Once they enter the prison,
there are the prison walls, fences with
rolls of concertina wire on top and gates.
I would like readers to recognize that the
correctional ofcers only carry handcuffs, a
radio, their training and the use of com-
mon sense, which is paramount for their
job.
These professional men and women deal
with inmates who have drug problems,
psychiatric/mental conditions, tuberculo-
sis, HIV, AIDS, hepatitis, herpes, MRSA,
lice, STDs, along with all the other conta-
gious diseases.
Their job consists of 3 Cs: Care, cus-
tody and control.The correctional ofcers
are multi-taskers, taking care of medical ,
nutritional, and religious needs, prevent-
ing and stopping ghts, cell extractions,
preventing suicides if possible, nancial or
sexual extortion of inmates, gambling and
cell searches for contraband.
They are the rst responders that arrive
on the scene to access the medical situa-
tion, performing rst aid and CPR and, as
the situation warrants, contacting medical
personnel for further medical evaluation.
The correction ofcer is responsible to
make sure the inmates do not escape. This
is done by multiple roll call counts, check-
ing the prison for inmates trying to escape,
checking the walls, inspecting the bars and
fencing so no escape is possible. This is
done on all shifts.The inmates have all day
to plan an escape, disrupt the system and,
God forbid, plan harm to a staff member or
other inmates.
Most of the correctional ofcers work in
an environment where there are more in-
mates than staff and that also is dependent
on the activities that are going on. Inmates
always outnumber staff.
The average shift is 8 hours but can
lead to 16, which is mandatory overtime.
The prison must be manned 24/7 without
question. The prison never closes or shuts
down.
Correction ofcer Eric Williams gave
everything he had, including his life, to
make sure that our community is safe. Our
thoughts and prayers are with the Williams
family, friends and co-workers in their time
of grief.
This is also to all the Unsung heroes
who work very hard behind these prison
walls every day across our great country.
Thank you for all that you do when you
walk through those gates to do your job.
There are many duties you perform that go
above and beyond the call of duty that no
one ever hears or knows about.

Where is the love? In my
hometown, West Pittston
I
went to work on Wednesday June 13,
2012, like any other day. I never came
home until October 4, 2012.
I was hit by a car driven by an elderly
woman on the job site and was seri-
ously injured. I spent the rst three days
at Geisinger Wyoming Valley, the summer
at Geisinger Danville and the fall at John
Heinz in Wilkes-Barre.
From the rst day, there were people
helping my family. Our lives were turned
upside down and I still have a long road
ahead, but I need to thank all the wonder-
ful people who helped my family and me.
There are no words in this world to ex-
press the love that is in my heart for all the
people who were there for us. I am truly
touched and blessed.
Although it is impossible to name
everyone who was involved, we would like
to thank the doctors and nurses at all three
facilities I was at, especially Dr. Casterline
and his wonderful staff at Geisinger Wyo-
ming Valley. Their quick and efcient care
in the rst critical hours saved my life.
To all the other doctors and nurses who
took care of me, you all played a huge part
in my recovery. Without you, I would not
be where I am at today.
We would like to thank Msgr. John
Sempa for his visits to Danville and for
providing a place for my wife to stay when
she needed it. We would also like to thank
Mr. and Mrs. Melberger and their son and
wife, Mick and Amy, for providing a home
for my wife, Mary, and family to stay the
whole duration of my time in Danville.
Without that, it would have been impos-
sible for Mary to be by my side.
A huge thank you to the West Pittston
Committee that ran a coin drop and
organized a Wife ball tournament. I dont
know everybody who was involved but you
hold a special place in our hearts forever.
To our family, friends and neighbors
who literally fed my family and were only
a phone call away, how do I say thank you
to that only that I love you all? To all the
many people and businesses who donated
money during this hard time, it is greatly
appreciated.
I always said there was not a better place
to raise a family than West Pittston. You
can see by the actions of the whole com-
munity during this hard time why these
words are true. I know it is by Gods hand
that I am here, but I would also like to
thank God for blessing me by putting all
these special people in my life.

Wyoming Area teachers
show their true colors
O
rdinarily, our property tax dollars are negoti-
ated away to the teachers union like monop-
oly money in secret behind closed doors. Thanks
to a childish tantrum by the greedy Wyoming Area
teachers union, the door was opened for taxpayers
to get a peek at what is at stake.
According to information released by our school
board, the latest demands by the teachers union
will cost taxpayers an additional $1.7 million.
Their demands would also lower health insurance
deductibles to zero with no premium sharing. This
bunch is also demanding a 19 percent pay raise.
Currently, Wyoming Areas 2013-2014 budget even
with a 4.42 percent tax hike, still shows a $500,000
decit with no allowance for raises.
Unless this union agrees to substantial conces-
sions, I believe our school board should make it
up with program cuts, furloughs and pay freezes.
Unions have had their way with taxpayers long
enough. It is time for elected ofcials to put these
public employees in their place and give taxpayers
a fair contract. Lets give the union a chance to
prove how much they care about the children.
As I was leaving the Feb. 26 meeting of the Wyo-
ming Area School Board, a member of the teachers
union suggested that maybe teachers should be
paid the same as those who work at McDonalds.
No one ever suggested such a ridiculous thing, but
making fun of people with real jobs in the private
sector who work all summer, weekends and holi-
days is not very bright. If this is the best rebuttal
this professional educator can come up with, we
are in trouble.

was denied by Judge William
Amesbury in November.
Vough said, despite Raven
having a right to bail, Raven has
a history of driving a vehicle
without a license. Vough said
the Pennsylvania Department
of Transportation has found Ra-
ven to be a habitual offender by
driving a car while not licensed.
Assistant District Attorney
Mamie Phillips opposed Ra-
vens release and requested the
bail be increased.
In court papers led Wednes-
day, Phillips stated after Raven
turned into the path of the mo-
torcycle, he proceeded through
the drive-through window of a
McDonalds and purchased two
ice cream cones.
Raven, with the help of
Daniel Antonini, 46, of Wilkes-
Barre, power-washed the Buick
and the pair were spotted by
a Jenkins Township police of-
cer searching for the vehicle
on Sept. 2, according to court
records.
Moses said Raven has not
violated conditions of his bail
since he has been jailed and
there was no reason why his cli-
ent should be prohibited from
posting bail.
Imnot going to sign the bail
piece until you can agree with
me he is not going to drive a
car, Vough said.

Decisions on keeping and add-
ing optional programs will be
evidence-based, or backed
with statistics and studies dem-
onstrating why the investment
of staff or funding makes sense,
he said.
Fiscal struggles at all govern-
ment levels might prevent ad-
ditional funding, said Lawton,
but he is open to reallocating
limited staff and spending from
one program to another if the
change will help more people
and target costly county prob-
lems.
Advocates of countywide tru-
ancy programs, for example,
believe fewer juveniles will end
up in the largely county-funded
criminal justice system if the
personal problems of chronical-
ly absent students are identied
and addressed early.
But a truancy programsimilar
to the one in Lackawanna Coun-
ty would require several Chil-
dren and Youth caseworkers to
spend much of their time work-
ing with families of truant stu-
dents. The Children and Youth
department must determine if
the benets of a truancy pro-
gram warrant pulling casework-
ers from other assignments,
Lawton said.
County Interim Human Ser-
vices Director Mary Dysleski,
who has not yet been involved
in developing a countywide
truancy plan, said Children and
Youth and other departments
are assisting with a survey of
school students that will at-
tempt to identify student and
family issues impacting aca-
demic performance, including
truancy.
Dysleski said surveys and
statistics are an essential com-
ponent to obtain grants amid
competition.
Human service divisions are
putting more emphasis on iden-
tifying the most in-demand and
benecial programs because the
state is moving toward more
lump sum allocations that give
counties exibility to tailor pro-
grams to their specic needs,
Dysleski said. Some programs
in mental health, and drug and
alcohol services already have
changed to this type of block
grant funding, she said.
Investing in programs that
tackle family problems of truant
students and other at-risk resi-
dents might reduce court and
human service caseloads down
the road, but prevention often
takes a back seat if theres only
enough funding to address cli-
ents already in the system, she
said.
The preferable approach is
to be proactive, but money is
always an issue, Dysleski said.

Summary: Snow will retreat over New England today, but beach erosion will

the county, she said.
These issues need to start
being addressed, said Salavan-
tis. I believe its an important
program Luzerne County needs
to look at.
Polachek Gartley, who han-
dles truancy court cases, said
the county needs a uniform,
comprehensive truancy pro-
gram that gets to the root of
the problem. Truancy is often
a symptom of something going
on in the house, particularly
with elementary school stu-
dents, she said.
Luzerne Countys 11 school
districts had attendance rates
ranging from 91 to 94 percent
in the 2011-12 school year, ac-
cording to state statistics. The
attendance rate statewide was
94 percent that year.
How it works
Lackawanna County juvenile
probation ofcer Barbara Burge,
who is involved in the countys
truancy program, said Children
and Youth caseworkers meet
with students and their families
to identify the reasons for ab-
sences and nd solutions.
Some of the many examples
of problems uncovered by case-
workers, according to Burge:
student or parental drug addic-
tion, poverty that left students
with an insufcient supply of
suitable school clothing, unad-
dressed medical issues due to
no health insurance, bullying,
rape, homelessness and inad-
equate parental supervision.
We try to step in there and
get services to the family,
whether its counseling or get-
ting them school clothing,
Burge said.
The countys 10 school dis-
tricts are permitted to forward
cases to district judges if truan-
cy continues after Children and
Youth intervention, she said.
If absences continue in vio-
lation of a district judge order,
cases advance to a family court
master, where monitoring gets
much more invasive, she said.
A team of Children and Youth,
juvenile probation and other
county agency representatives
also monitors each case.
Fines and jail time are re-
served as last resorts because
most of the families are low in-
come. Fines dont help because
most of the families cant pay,
and it just gives them another
problem to deal with, she said.
Some families initially are re-
luctant to reveal problems but
usually open up once they real-
ize were not going away, Burge
said.
Lackawannas truancy pro-
gram has been in effect more
than a decade, but the involve-
ment of Children and Youth
caseworkers in schools was
added about two years ago, she
said.
Statewide move
More counties statewide
are implementing truancy pro-
grams, with the goal of reducing
the number of people who end
up in the court system, Burge
said.
The four Children and Youth
caseworkers handle hundreds
of truancy cases in schools an-
nually, she said. She didnt have
statistics but said one school
district reduced its annual dis-
trict judge truancy lings from
around 70 to 10 after Children
and Youth intervention.
Several Luzerne County
school ofcials say they wel-
come county assistance, partic-
ularly family access to counsel-
ing and other services.
Fixing family dynamics is re-
ally the key, said Dallas School
District Superintendent Frank
Galicki. Trying to keep stu-
dents engaged in positive activ-
ity while theyre at school is our
job, but when they go home to
a dysfunctional family situation,
thats when everything falls
apart.
Hazleton Area School Dis-
trict Superintendent Francis
X. Antonelli said the districts
guidance counselors try to work
with the families of chronically
truant students and spend one-
on-one time with the students
to keep them engaged. The dis-
trict would embrace addition-
al assistance from the county,
he said.
Theres never enough you
can do to keep kids in school,
Antonelli said.
Pittston Area Senior High
School Principal John Haas
said truancy impacts students
performance and chances to
become productive citizens.
School ofcials and the district
judge try to help parents ad-
dress problems causing truancy,
but county government has
more access to family services,
he said.the county, she said.

TRUANTS
seeking buyouts for residents
through the federal hazard
mitigation grant program, and
one of three opting to seek
the buyouts on its own, rather
than turning to the county or
an outside consultant.
Residents attending the
meeting are on the townships
second-round buyout list. A
rst round of eight house-
holds, whose homes suffered
a signicant loss of more
than 50 percent of their pre-
ood value, is further along
in the process, Hughes said.
Seven applicants who sought
buyouts under the Pittsburgh
snowstorm disaster of 2010
have received their buyouts
or have them pending, added
township Supervisor Gail Con-
rad.
To qualify for the latest
round of buyouts, as a whole
they must meet a cost-benet
ratio of 1.0, meaning the cost
of buying out the properties
would be less than or equal
to the value of future disaster
assistance for the same prop-
erties. Hughes said there was
no problem meeting that cri-
teria.
Hughes said the state has
taken unprecedented action
in expediting its end of the
buyout process, and that he
expects to have PEMAs por-
tion of the grant contract ready
for the township within three
months.
The Federal Emergency
Management Agency pays for
75 percent of the buyout cost,
funneling the payment through
PEMA, while the remaining 25
percent comes from state and
local shares. Of that, the state
will contribute 22 percent,
and the state Department of
Community and Economic
Development will make up the
remaining 3 percent about
$2 million in Luzerne County
using a disaster mitigation
block grant from the federal
Department of Housing and
Urban Development.
The smallest portion of that
funding is the one that will like-
ly delay payments the longest.
Donna Enrico, of DCED, said
the Housing and Urban Devel-
opment funds have more strin-
gent requirements attached to
them than those from FEMA,
including stricter guidelines
on environmental testing and
a requirement for a full eight-
stage oodplain analysis. For
that reason, Enrico said she ex-
pects the process will take an
additional 18 months.
While Hughes, Enrico and
other ofcials shed light on
exactly how the buyout pro-
cess works and answered ques-
tions about what recipients
can expect going forward,
Conrad said the mechanics of
the system wasnt the foremost
thought on the minds of most.
The folks pretty much just
wanted to know: Are we get-
ting bought out, how much
and when is it going to hap-
pen, Conrad said.
Still, she said she was satis-
ed with the outcome of the
meeting.
I think people are much
happier, Conrad said. I think
they have a sigh of relief be-
cause they know theyre going
to get bought out.
Before the meeting, FEMA
and PEMA ofcials toured
properties on the buyout list as
part of the assessment process
to determine pre-ood home
and property value, which will
dictate buyout payments. After
the meeting, residents learned
for the rst time how much
they can expect for their dam-
aged properties.
I was satised with it, Mi-
chelle Kinney said about the
appraisal of her home on Canal
Street. It was pre-ood value.
Basically it wasnt depreciated
at all.
I think it was very fair, said
Cindy West, who is awaiting a
buyout for her home on East
Poplar Street. Nothings ever
quick enough, but there were
a lot of answers given tonight
that were positive. Its looking
good.
Once their buyouts are -
nalized, recipients are free to
do with the payments as they
please, but Conrad and Hughes
urged them to think twice
about moving to another ood-
plain residence. Conrad rattled
off a list of statistics about local
oods of the Susquehanna Riv-
er clipped from a newspaper:
10 oods between 1972 and
2011, all between 8 and 21 feet
above the normal ood stage;
seven oods since 1993; and
three oods in a 22-month win-
dow between 2004 and 2006.
Quite frankly, its not going
to stop, Conrad said. I think
the government knows that.
Thats why we did qualify and
its on a fast track, and thats a
good thing.

sile or miniaturize a nuclear de-
vice to mount on such a missile.
However, the North possesses
hundreds of shorter-range mis-
siles that could hit U.S. bases
in Japan and South Korea, said
Victor Cha, Korea chair at the
Center for Strategic and Interna-
tional Studies think tank.
It is difcult to know how
capable U.S. missile defense is,
should it be required.
Carney alluded to the devel-
opment of U.S. system designed
to defend against long-range
missiles. He said the U.S. is on
a good trajectory after success
in its return to testing of the
Ground-Based Interceptor.
David Wright at the Union of
Concerned Scientists said that
system, deployed in the U.S.,
was initiated by the George W.
Bush administration because of
concern about the North Korean
threat. Some of its previous tests
of the system failed, and Wright
said it is still in development.
In East Asia, the U.S. has de-
ployed the land-based Patriot
system and the sea-based Aegis
systems, which are designed to
intercept shorter-range missiles.
The top U.S. envoy on North
Korea, Glyn Davies, cautioned
Pyongyang not to miscalculate,
saying the U.S. will take neces-
sary steps to defend itself and
its allies, including South Korea,
where it bases nearly 30,000 U.S.
forces.
We take all North Korean
threats seriously enough to en-
sure that we have the correct
defense posture to deal with any
contingencies that might arise,
Davies told reporters after testi-
fying before the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee.
Thursdays statement out of
Pyongyang appeared to be the
most specic open threat of a
nuclear strike by any country
against another, but the Sen-
ate panels chairman, Sen. Rob-
ert Menendez, D-N.J., said the
threat was absurd and one that
if carried out would be suicide
for North Korea.
Davies reiterated that the U.S.
will not accept North Korea as a
nuclear-armed state although
after conducting three nuclear
tests it is already assumed to
be capable of making at least a
crude atomic bomb.
Davies, however, faced Repub-
lican skepticism about the effec-
tiveness of Obama administra-
tion policy toward North Korea.
In December, the North conduct-
ed its rst successful launch of
a three-stage, long-range rocket.
Its Feb. 12 nuclear test could
help it miniaturize a warhead.
The Foreign Relations Com-
mittees top Republican, Sen.
Bob Corker of Tennessee, drew
a comparison to U.S. policy on
Iran, where the U.S. has warned
it could resort to military action
to prevent Tehran from acquir-
ing a nuclear weapon.
North Korea is equally nutty
and with a worse human rights
record, and way past any red
line we would accept in Iran, he
said.
Corker concluded that Davies
hope that the dual-track U.S. pol-
icy of pressure and engagement
would eventually work in getting
Pyongyang to change its ways
was a highly aspirational state-
ment that does not seem to be
based on reality.
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., also
drewa comparison with Iran and
said he did not believe North Ko-
reas leader, Kim Jong Un, could
be persuaded to disarm. The
best the U.S. could hope for was
to delay the development of the
Norths weapons and its ability
to strike the West, he said.
Theyre convinced the only
way they are ever going to ac-
complish what they want is by
having a nuclear program and
being able to hold the world
hostage with it, Rubio told the
hearing.
He also foresaw a danger of
nuclear proliferation in Asia
to date alleviated through the
nuclear umbrella security guar-
antee the U.S. provides to both
South Korea and Japan, which
do not have atomic weapons.
The newU.N. sanctions, which
were drafted by the U.S. and the
Norths chief ally and benefactor,
China, should make it more dif-
cult for Pyongyang to nance
and obtain material for its nucle-
ar and ballistic missile programs,
and for the reclusive nations rul-
ing elite to acquire luxury goods.
Davies said the growing inter-
national condemnation of North
Koreas actions and the new U.N.
sanctions showed the world
is beginning to wake up to the
problem the North poses. But
he said for diplomacy to work,
China has to step up and play
its full role in bringing home to
Pyongyang the choices it faces.
U.S. lawmakers remain skep-
tical of Beijings commitment
to implementing the sanctions,
which will be critical for their
effectiveness since most of
the companies and banks that
North Korea is believed to work
with are based in China.

Penguins head out on key a road trip
By TOMVENESKY
tvenesky@timesleader.com
For Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
winger Bobby Farnham, the up-
coming seven-game road trip
through the New England area is
a homecoming of sorts.
The North Andover, Mass., na-
tive has had the games against
Providence, Manchester, Port-
land and Worcester circled for
quite some time.
The rst thing I did is look up
when we would be playing there.
Thats the perimeter around
where I live and Im pumped
about it, Farnham said.
Including Farnham, the Pen-
guins have ve players from the
New England area who will be
returning to their old haunts dur-
ing the road trip. But homecom-
ings aside, the next seven games
could make or break the Pen-
guins postseason hopes.
Entering tonights game
against Providence, the Penguins
sit in seventh place in the Eastern
Conference one point ahead of
eighth-seeded Connecticut and
three points above Manchester.
In fact, the next seven games are
against teams either trying to
overtake the Penguins for one of
the last playoff spots or vying for
the division lead.
One of the teams can get a di-
vision spot (Portland), but every-
one else is ghting for the four
through eight spots, Penguins
coach John Hynes said. It lends
to a little more intense trip.
Starting tonight Wilkes-Barre
Scranton will seven straight
games on the road.

It was just a couple of seasons ago that
Mount Carmel was the Cinderella story of
its district, reaching the state tournament
for the rst time in years in 2011.
The Red Tornadoes improved on that
initial trip to the PIAA tournament in
2012, reaching the quarternals last sea-
son.
Now, Mount Carmel is riding the wave
of its third consecutive 20-win season.
And the Red Torndoes
will see a team it resem-
bled a couple of seasons
back.
Two teams unfamiliar
with each other will meet
tonight at 6 in Sham-
okin, as GAR and Mount
Carmel play in the rst
round of the PIAA Class 2A tournament.
We dont know much about them,
GAR coach Hattie Caruso said. They
have a really good point guard and two
tall girls that can shoot. And they all work
well together.
GAR did not suffer through the same
state drought as Mount Carmel, last
reaching the tournament in 2008. But
this Grenadiers group was still years away
from their time at GAR. And like the Red
Tornadoes of two seasons ago, youth
dominates the Grenadiers lineup.
GARs senior backcourt of Marena
Spence and Julianna Leco will be counted
on to slow Mount Carmels top player, Ali
Varano. The junior guard was a key player
as a freshman in Mount Carmels return
to the glory of the state playoffs. Varano
leads the Red Tornadoes in assists (2.3
apg) and steals (4.7 spg).

in hunt for Class 3A titles
HERSHEY Even though he was
making his third appearance at the
PIAA championships, Austin Harry ad-
mitted to still getting those pre-match
jitters prior to his rst bout.
If the Lake-Lehman junior was ner-
vous on Thursday morning, he sure
didnt show it. Harry made quick work
of his opponent, Chase Schaeffer from
Tri Valley, with a pin in 2:44 to advance
to the quarternals of the PIAA Class
2A Championships for the second
straight year.
Getting on and off the mat as quick
as possible is always nice, said Harry,
who was the only preliminary round
winner of the four Wyoming Valley Con-
ference state qualiers in 2A Thursday
morning. Later on in the tournament
youre not as sore, not as fatigued so
getting that rst pin is denitely big.

ED BOARDMAN/FOR THE TiMES LEADER
Andy Schutz of Wyoming Area (right) narrowly dropped his opening match at
states by a 2-1 decision. He stayed alive for a medal with a technical fall in
his second bout of the day.
ED BOARDMAN/FOR THE TiMES LEADER
Coughlins Brad Emerick went the distance to win
his opening match of the PIAA Class 3A Wrestling
Championships in Hershey on Thursday.
HERSHEY If there was
any concern about how Brad
Emerick would rebound from
his rst loss of the season, the
Coughlin senior put that to rest
on Thursday.
The 285-pounder won his
rst match of the PIAA Class
3A Championships in convinc-
ing fashion, defeating Canon-
McMillans Angelo Broglia 5-2.
Emerick was one of three
Wyoming Valley Conference se-
niors to win their rst match in
the 3A brackets on Thursday at
the Giant Center to remain in
contention for state gold and
advance to todays quarter-
nals. Wyoming Valley Wests
Kyle Krasavage and Crest-
woods Matt Hammerstone also
stayed in contention for gold.
Emerick got a takedown on
Broglia with 40 seconds in the
rst period for a 2-0 lead. After
the lead was cut to 2-1 after two
periods on an escape, Emerick
put the match away in the third.
He got an escape of his own to
start the third period then an-
swered with another takedown
for a 5-1 lead.

Grenadiers face
tough Donegal
in state opener
GAR will be seeing double tonight, as
in the twins who will lead District 3 third
seed Donegal seniors Jason and Mar-
tin Dietrich.
The brothers were instrumental in
Donegals breakthrough
season and will be once
again as District 2 run-
ner-up GAR (17-9) faces
the Indians (26-2) in the
rst round of the PIAA
Class 3A boys basketball
tournament at 7 p.m. at
Holy Redeemer High
School.
Jason Dietrich, a 6-foot-2 guard, leads
the Indians with a 15.3 scoring average.
Martin Dietrich, a 6-3 forward, is right
behind his twin at 15.1 points per game.
While they are the main guys, 6-foot-6 se-
nior Matt Foltz (11.5) and 6-foot senior
Dylan Houseal (10.6) also average in
double gures, and Donegal averages just
over 62 points per game as a team.
Theyre very athletic, GAR coach
Paul Brown said. They go from 6-6 to
6-foot and you can throw a few 6-3s and
6-2s there. They get up and down the
oor, they rebound well and they love to
score points.
It hasnt always been that way for Done-
gal. The program hit a rough patch from
2005-08, going 8-61 in that span. Sixth-
year coach Ryan Butt, though, has steadi-
ly pulled the Indians out of that hole. The
team posted its rst winning record in
seven seasons with 14 victories in 2010-
11. It reached 20 wins in 2011-12 before
falling for the third consecutive season in
the rst round of the District 3 playoffs.
The Indians got out of the gates quickly
this season, winning 23 in a row before

Shortstop Furcal to have
surgery, may miss season
JUPiTEr, Fla. st. louis shortstop
rafael Furcal will undergo ligament
replacement surgery in his right elbow
and expects to miss the 2013 season.
Furcal made the decision after
visiting dr. James andrews clinic in
Pensacola, Fla., on Wednesday.
its very disappointing, Furcal said.
i worked so hard in the offseason to
get everything straight, working hard
with the doctors the training team
we did anything we could do to get
ready for spring training, ready for the
season.
Furcal strained the elbow ligament
near the end of last season, keeping
him out of the nal few weeks and the
Cardinals playoff run. There was a
concern then that hed have to undergo
offseason Tommy John surgery, but
Furcal chose to try rehab instead.
BrEWErs
GM stung by scorpion
PHOEniX Even Milwaukee Brew-
ers general manager doug Melvin cant
escape the injury bug that has stung
his club this spring.
Melvin spent three hours in the
emergency room Wednesday night
after he was stung by an arizona bark
scorpion inside his spring training
condominium.
Melvin said he was eating dinner
with his wife when they saw a bug
walking across the oor. He reached
down with a tissue to pick up what he
thought was a spider and was stung on
his left middle nger. He said his hand
started swelling almost immediately
and he decided to head for a hospital.
i got nervous when all of the numb-
ness started getting up in the shoulder
area, Melvin told MlB.com. You
think, Can this thing go to your heart?
They said you can lose your breathing;
your vision can be a problem. none of
that happened to me.
Melvin was back at the team com-
plex Thursday.
PadrEs
Prospect Tate wont show
PEOria, ariz. donavan Tates
athletic career has taken another pit
stop. The san diego Padres outelder,
taken no. 3 overall in 2009, will not
report to minor-league spring training
on Friday for personal reasons.
Thats as much as Padres vice
president of player development randy
smith would divulge during Thurs-
days announcement.
Tates professional career has taken
some detours.
The biggest came in 2011, when
Tate was suspended 50 games for
violating Major league Baseballs drug
policy after testing positive for synthet-
ic cannabis, which the league terms a
drug of abuse.
rangErs
Derek Lowe agrees
to minor league deal
sUrPrisE, ariz. Pitcher derek
lowe and the Texas rangers have
reached agreement on a minor league
deal.
The rangers announced the deal
Wednesday. The 39-year-old righty is
expected to report to spring training
on Friday.
lowe went a combined 9-11 with
one save and a 5.11 Era for Cleveland
and the new York Yankees last year.
He is 175-157 with 86 saves and a 4.00
Era in a 16-season career with seattle,
Boston, the dodgers, atlanta, Cleve-
land and the Yankees.
lowe led the al with 42 saves for
Boston in 2000, then was a 21-game
winner for the red sox two years later.

Source: Yanks Rivera plans to retire after 2013
nEW YOrK The great Mariano
rivera is getting set to close his career.
The new York Yankees reliever
plans to announce this weekend that
he will retire after the 2013 season, a
person familiar with the decision told
The associated Press on Thursday.
The person spoke to the aP on con-
dition of anonymity because there was
no ofcial statement. a news confer-
ence was called for saturday at the
Yankees spring training complex in
Tampa, Fla.
The 43-year-old closer is baseballs
saves leader with 608. He is regarded
as one of the best clutch pitchers in
history, posting a record 42 postseason
saves with an 0.70 Era while helping
the Yankees win ve
World series champi-
onships.
greatest closer of
all time. no question
in my mind, Yan-
kees manager Joe gi-
rardi said. ive had
the thrill of catch-
ing him. i was there
when he really burst onto the scene as
a dominant setup man and then to see
what he did as a closer has been a thrill
for me.
its really hard to imagine that any-
one could do the job he did, he said.
at times it seemed like it wasnt fair.
Thats how good Mo was. He was so
dominant.
rivera missed most of last season
after he tore a ligament in his right
knee while catching y balls during
batting practice. The right-hander was
hurt May 3 and had surgery the next
month.
rivera returned home to Panama
this week for a personal matter, and
was expected to rejoin the team sat-
urday.
Hank steinbrenner declined to say
what would be announced at satur-
days news conference. But the Yan-
kees co-chairman said he would like
rivera to remain involved with the
team when he does end his playing
career.
if he wants to, that would be my
preference, steinbrenner said. i
think hed be a great inuence, even if
its only at spring training.
There was a good chance rivera
would pitch in an exhibition game
saturday for the rst time this spring.
The 12-time all-star typically goes at
his own pace in camp, ne-tuning his
dreaded cut fastball in the bullpen and
in simulated games.
You only need one nger with him,
so if i get four cut off we are still good
to go, Yankees catcher Chris stewart
said.
Having a guy out there who knows
where hes going to throw it every
single time you cant ask for better
than that. and then to have a guy with
one of the best pitches in the game
it makes my job easy. if you have the
lead after eight, theres a pretty good
chance you are going to get a win, he
said.
Rivera
Knuckler
Dickey says
WBC great
privilege
Blue Jays pitcher is oldest
player on Team USA roster.
PHOEniX Many big-name
pitchers found reason to say no to
the World Baseball Classic. r.a.
dickey was an automatic yes.
The knuckleball master, win-
ner of the nl Cy Young award
with the new York Mets last
season now plying his unortho-
dox trade with Toronto, made it
known before anyone asked him
that he wished to play.
now he will start for the Unit-
ed states in its WBC opener to-
night against Mexico, something
he calls one of the greater privi-
leges of my athletic career.
at 38, dick-
ey is the old-
est player on
the U. s. ros-
ter. as such,
he remembers
being a part of
the U.s. team
at the 1996
Olympics and
wants to atone for the disap-
pointment of that bronze medal
of 17 years ago.
so this is a chance to redeem
that in a lot of ways, he said.
so i was proactive in wanting
to be a part of this team. When
i thought it was a possibility, i
texted Tony Clark (of the MlB
Players association) and said, if
theres a spot and Joe wants me,
i would love to do it.
needless to say, manager Joe
Torre wanted him.
dickey is one of three start-
ing pitchers on the 28-man U.s.
roster competing in group d in
arizona and by far the biggest
name. san Franciscos ryan Vo-
gelsong will start saturday night
against italy, with Texas derek
Holland going against Canada
on sunday.
Following round robin play,
the top two teams advance to
the second round next week in
Florida. There, a fourth starter,
Washingtons gio gonzalez will
join the fray.
Under WBC rules, to keep
pitchers on their normal spring
training regimen, starters are
limited to 65 pitches in the rst
round. With his knuckleball al-
ready in top form, dickey gures
that will be enough to make an
impact against a Mexican lineup
that surely has little experience
against a knuckleball pitcher, let
alone one with the prociency
that dickey has developed.
if im throwing 65 pitches
and can execute 60 good knuck-
leballs, he said, then were
probably going to be in a good
position.
Then Torre will turn things
over to a cadre of 10 relievers.
dickeys WBC appearance is
the latest in a remarkable evolu-
tion to the right-handers career.
last season with the Mets, he
went 20-6 with a 2.32 Era, be-
coming the rst knuckleballer
to win the Cy Young award.
dickey led the national league
in strikeouts (230) and shutouts
(three).

The Philadelphia Phillies Chase Utley, left, forces out Minnesota Twins Chris Herrmann at second base on a elders
choice by Pedro Florimon in the fourth inning of a spring training game on Thursday in Clearwater, Fla.
ClEarWaTEr, Fla. -- aaron Hicks
made a pretty strong case that he
should be the Twins starting center
elder.
He homered three times and helped
the Twins to a 10-6 victory against the
Phillies on a windy Thursday. He now
has ve home runs in his last three
games.
Wow, what do you say? Play the el-
ements, Twins manager rod garden-
hire said. Winds blowing out, and he
hit em out where the winds blowing.
Pretty fun day. You dont see that too
many times.
Hicks hit homers in the rst, fth
and seventh innings, the rst coming
on the second pitch of the game from
Phillies starter Cliff lee. He went 4 for
5 in the game with six rBis.
He had a pretty good day, Phillies
manager Charlie Manuel said. Moth-
er nature kind of helped him though.
Hicks came up in the eighth inning
with a chance at four homers, but
instead laced a broken-bat, two-rBi
single to center.
Of course i wanted to go for the
fourth one, Hicks said. i had two
pitches to do it on, missed both of
them. got a changeup, broken-bat base
hit. died a hero but got two runs in.
Hicks said the last time he hit three
home runs was in high school.
lee pitched 3 2-3 innings, gave up
two runs, four hits and struck out
ve in his third appearance of spring
training.
i feel good, lee said. i feel strong.
i felt like i could keep going, but i
dont know what my pitch count was.
The Phillies held a steady lead for
most of the contest, leading 6-3 as late
as the sixth inning.
Hicks solo homer in the seventh,
along with a run scored on Zach
Miners wild pitch, narrowed the lead
to one before the ve-run outburst in
the eighth.
Miner took most of the shelling,
allowing ve of the Twins 10 runs in
his inning of work. Miner, who signed
a minor-league contract with the Phil-
lies with a non-roster invite to spring
training, allowed three hits and walked
two.
Astros 4, Nationals 2
KissiMMEE, Fla. gio gonzalez
pitched three scoreless innings before
heading to join the United states team
at the World Baseball Classic and
the Washington nationals lost to the
Houston astros.
Jason Castro drove in two runs with
a single in the eighth inning off losing
pitcher ryan Mattheus that scored
Fernando Martinez and rick ankiel.
Michael Taylor drove in both of the
nationals runs with an eighth-inning
single off dallas Keutchel. Josh Zeid
won for the astros.
gonzalez gave up three hits while
striking out three.
Houston starter Phil Humber
pitched four innings, giving up only a
two-out double to Corey Brown.
Rays 4, Pirates 2.
BradEnTOn, Fla. alex Cobb
pitched one-hit ball for four score-
less innings and the Tampa Bay rays
defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Cobb struck out ve, twice fanning
all-star andrew McCutchen, and
walked none. He retired the rst eight
batters.
relievers Chris archer and Jake
Odorizzi followed as the rays staff
combined for 11 strikeouts.
Pittsburgh starter James Mcdon-
ald also gave up just one hit in four
shutout innings. He walked three and
struck out one.
an error by third baseman gaby
sanchez helped Tampa Bay score four
runs in the seventh.
russell Martin hit a two-run double
in the ninth for the Pirates.
Mets 4, Marlins 1
POrT sT. lUCiE, Fla. Matt
Harvey was nearly perfect for 4 1-3
shutout innings, pitching the new
York Mets past the Miami Marlins.
Harvey didnt give up a hit or walk,
and struck out ve.
The only baserunner against him
reached on an error. The Mets right-
hander is set to begin his rst full
season in the majors.
Marlins starter ricky nolasco was
almost as impressive, giving up an
unearned run and three hits in 3 2-3
innings. He struck out six.
Mets reliever Pedro Feliciano,
wearing a heart monitor, retired the
two lefty batters he faced in the fth
inning.
Matt den dekker homered in the
fth for the Mets.
Orioles 11, Blue Jays 10
sarasOTa, Fla. ryan Flaherty
hit a three-run homer with two outs in
the bottom of the ninth inning, giving
the Baltimore Orioles a win over the
Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday.
The Orioles blew a 6-1 lead when
the Blue Jays scored a run in the
fth, two in the sixth and three in the
seventh.
Baltimore reliever daniel McCutch-
en gave up ve runs and seven hits in
1 1-3 innings.
Mark Buehrle, as the Blue Jays third
starter behind r.a. dickey and Josh
Johnson, allowed nolan reimolds
leadoff home run in the rst in his two
innings.
Jason Hammel, a likely candidate
to start opening day for Baltimore,
allowed ve hits in 2 1-3 innings.
Red Sox 12, Twins (ss) 5
FOrT MYErs, Fla. Mike napoli
hit a three-run homer for Boston, Clay
Buchholz overcame leg soreness to
pitch three scoreless innings and the
red sox beat a split squad of Minne-
sota Twins.
Buchholz, who aggravated a ham-
string muscle on the rst day of spring
training, struck out four with two hits
and no walks in his second preseason
start. reliever daniel Bard, who
struggled in 2012 with a 5-6 record
with a 6.22 Era, struck out the side in
the sixth inning.
dustin Pedroia went 2 for 4 with a
double, two rBis and two runs for the
red sox.
Twins starter Kevin Correia gave
up three runs in 2 1-3 innings. signed
to a two-year contract to help ll out
a depleted rotation, the right-hander
allowed six hits.
Cardinals 7, Yankees 6
JUPiTEr, Fla. - Pete Kozma and
daniel descalso each homered and the
st. louis Cardinals beat the new York
Yankees.
Kozma hit a solo home run in the
fth inning and also singled. descalso
hit a two-run homer in the seventh.
The Cardinals were without
outelder Matt Holliday, who had a
stomach virus.
Yankees starter ivan nova allowed
one run in three innings.
st. louis scored three times in the
ninth. Kolton Wong hit a tying, two-
run homer and a pair of errors set up
adron Chambers winning single.
Brewers 4, Diamondbacks 3
PHOEniX Khris davis hit a
two-run home run in the bottom of the
eighth inning, his third straight game
with a homer, and the Milwaukee
Brewers rallied to beat the arizona
diamondbacks.
Eric Chavez gave arizona a 2-0 lead
in the third with a two-out home run
just to the right of the batters eye in
center eld, his rst of the spring.
Milwaukee tied it at 2 in the bot-
tom of the inning on alex gonzalezs
towering homer to the top of the grass
berm in left.

Aside from the March 20
game in Syracuse, the rst
six games of the road trip are
against Atlantic Division oppo-
nents. Against teams outside of
the East Division, the Penguins
are 19-5-0-1, but they cant count
on past success to guide them
through the upcoming trip.
Time wont allow it.
When the Penguins return
from the road, there will only
be 12 games left in the regular
season.
This time of year its about
getting points along with how
you play, Hynes said. At this
point, under 20 games, were
aware of howquickly it goes by.
The Penguins wrapped up their
third day of practice Thursday at
Coal Street before boarding the
bus for Providence. Hynes said a
call-up from Wheeling isnt necc-
esary to replace Tom Kostopoulos
who was claimed off waivers
Wednesday by New Jersey be-
cause Paul Thompson and Steve
MacIntyre are healthy enough to
return to the lineup.
Jayson Megna didnt practice
on Thursday. Hynes said he had
the day off and will be ready for
tonights game in Providence.
The Penguins will begin their
seventh three-in-three stint to-
night beginning with Providence.
On Saturday they will head to
Portland to take on the Pirates,
followed by a Sunday game in
Manchester.

team will look for their shots.
Senior Christina Perles (16.7
ppg, 6.5 rpg) leads a team that
averages 51.6 points per game
(GAR is at 50.4). Junior forward
Ana Raybuck is a paint pres-
ence, with averages of 8.9 points
and team highs in rebounds
(8.7) and blocks (2.4).
GAR junior Bre Mosier is a
scrappy player who will look
to disrupt Mount Carmels in-
side game. Grenadiers top
scorer Brea Seabrook, a sopho-
more, wont be counted on for
18 points in a half like she had
against Lakeland to earn the
state tournament trip. But the
WVC Division III Most Valuable
Player, who had 20 points, 12
rebounds and six steals against
Lakeland, has averaged 17.3
points in four playoff games this
season.
Freshman Marie Skrepenak
could be the key to the Grena-
diers success today. The center
has impressed both as a starter
and as a reserve, seeing sig-
nicant minutes in either role.
Against Lakeland in the state
qualier, she had 14 points and
10 rebounds coming off the
bench.
She would likely match up
with 6-footer Ellese Nestico, a
veteran of Mount Carmels prior
state tourney appearances but
not a dominant post player. Nes-
ticos 2.0 points per game ranks
seventh on Mount Carmel, and
her 4.6 rebounds are third, bare-
ly ahead of the smaller Varano.
Skrepenak can hit short jumpers
and make deft passes, as well
as score inside and rebound,
making her a threat that should
draw help coverage from Mount
Carmels forwards.
Weve been telling her shes
not a freshman any more, Ca-
ruso said. We count on her. We
count on everybody.
Neither bench is deep GAR
plays just six or seven but
both offer exciting sixth players
coming into the game. Sopho-
more Isabella Stellar is aptly
named. The Red Tornadoes
guard averages 5.7 points and
is among the teams three-point
leaders.

to try to tie with a takedown but was un-
successful.
Zanettas tough, but at least I know
what he does now and Ill be a little more
prepared for him this year, Harry said.
Hopefully it will come my way this year. I
know Im close with him and he was in the
nals last year, so thats howclose I am. Ive
been working hard and hopefully this year I
can get past that.
GARs A.J. Luton (113 pounds), Wyo-
ming Areas Andy Schutz (126) and Nick
Heck (138) dropped their preliminary
round bouts Thursday morning.
Schutz drew a tough opponent in Beth-
lehem Catholics Zeke Moisey, who placed
second in the state last year. But that
didnt faze the Warriors senior in a 2-1 loss.
Schutz appeared to have a takedown in the
rst period and possible back points, but
the referee didnt award the points signal-
ing out of bounds.
After Moisey got a reversal in the sec-
ond period for a 2-0 lead, Schutz quickly
got an escape in the third period to cut
the lead in half. He had about 1:45 to get
a takedown as Moisey moved around the
mat but wasnt called for stalling. Schutz al-
most had a takedown midway through the
period, but a stalemate was called instead.
In his consolation bout Schutz remained
in contention for a medal winning via tech
fall over Collin Day from Meyersdale piling
up 12 back points en route to a 16-0 win in
3:15.
In todays second round of consolations,
which will guarantee the winner a medal,
the Warriors senior will face the loser of the
quarternal bout between defending state
champion Ryan Diehl (38-3) from Trinity
and Conneaut Areas Kyle Lukowich (34-9).
Heck rebounded in his rst match of the
losers bracket holding a 5-4 lead in the
second period against Biglervilles Jasper
Hankey. But the match eventually went to
overtime when Hankey got back points in
the third overtime for the 7-5 victory.
The match was similar to Schutzs pre-
liminary match as Hankey slowed the pace
down but was hit with just one stalling call
as Hecks high school career came to an
end. It was Hecks rst appearance at states
after taking third at regionals and winning
a district title.
Luton, a junior who lost his opening-
round bout 9-0, lost his second match of the
day 11-0 to Caleb Bordner from Tri Valley,
who placed eighth last year, and was elimi-
nated. He ends his season with a record of
29-8 as the Grenadiers rst state qualier
since 2004. He had a solid season as region-
al runner-up and district champion.

losing 72-65 to Class 4A power
Lancaster McCaskey. They en-
tered the D3-3A tournament
as the second seed, but were
knocked off by third-seeded and
eventual champion Berks Catho-
lic 41-38 in the seminals. They
recovered to defeat top-seeded
Susquehanna Township 66-55 in
the third-place game.
In one sense, Donegal is akin
to Abington Heights, the team
that defeated GAR for the D2
title, in that the Indians are not
one-dimensional on offense. Do-
negal, however, will be chuck-
ing up the three-pointers unlike
any opponent GAR has seen this
season. Houseal has 40 treys so
far followed by Jason Dietrich
(32) and Martin Dietrich (31).
The trio has connected on 35
percent of its shots behind the
arc.
We didnt play anybody that
shoots the three as much as they
do, Brown said. They love to
shoot the three-ball. All ve
starters and the rst guy off the
bench love to shoot threes.
Donegal can also penetrate or
go to its big guy, Foltz, who is
third on the teamin eld goal at-
tempts. The latter could be a dis-
tinct possibility. Abington found
success going inside against the
Grenadiers, who, aside from
6-foot-10 Christian Skrepenak,
dont have much size. Once
Skrepenaks aggressiveness was
curtailed by foul trouble, the
Comets really attacked the paint
in the 56-37 victory.
Christian is denitely an ad-
vantage on the offensive end, so
well see how they are going to
defend him, Brown said. Weve
been working a little more on
team defense to help him out on
the defensive end.
The GAR offense could use a
boost as well. The Grenadiers
have scored a combined 77
points in their last two games,
their lowest two-game total
of the season. Isaiah Francis,
an excellent all-around player,
leads the team with a 14.2 av-
erage in WVC play followed by
Skrepenak with 12.6 per game.
Francis is the only Grenadier to
scored in double gures in each
of the last two games.
From my personal point of
view, Isaiah Francis can play
with just about anybody on the
oor, Brown said. I think Isa-
iah is going to have a decent
game for us. We just need some
other people to pick up the slack
and perform well for us, too.
The winner moves to Tues-
days second round, playing the
winner of tonights game be-
tween D11 champion Allentown
Central Catholic (23-3) and D3
sixth seed Northeastern (22-4).
Those teams play at 7 p.m. at
BethlehemLiberty High School.
BOYS
Continued from Page 1B
Emerick let up Broglia later
in the period for the 5-2 win and
the third six-minute match for
the Crusader inless thana week
after not going the distance all
season. Canon-McMillan won
the PIAA Team Championships
last month, which gives Emer-
ick condence as well.
Im feeling great right now.
I feel like my conditioning is all
the way up and I feel like right
now I can go another match,
said Emerick, who didnt get
a chance to wrestle again on
Thursday, but will today in the
quarters against Methacton ju-
nior Tracey Green, a 5-1 winner
in the preliminaries.
Getting that rst match out
of the way is huge. That match
sets the tempo for the rest of
the tournament. If you come off
a win, youre feeling good. Your
condence is up and youre just
looking forward to the next
match.
Hammerstone, Crestwoods
145-pounder, won in overtime
3-2 against Norristown junior
Mikey Springer, who entered
the event ranked fourth in the
state according to PA Power
Wrestling, while Hammerstone
was picked last out the 16 state
qualiers.
I look at them a little, but
the real rankings are the end
of the year when the top eight
place and thats what counts,
Hammerstone said. Those
rankings pretty much mean
nothing until the nal day here
at Hershey.
Springer went ahead 1-0 in
the second period and Ham-
merstone quickly tied it up at
1-1 in the third period to force
overtime. It marked the third
time in less than a week that
the Comet went to extra peri-
ods.
After a scoreless sudden-
victory period, Hammerstone
scored two points in the rst
of two mandatory 30-second
periods getting a point for stall-
ing and one for an escape to
go ahead 3-1. Springer got an
escape point in the next peri-
od, but thats all he would get,
sending Hammerstone into the
quarters to take on Chris Vassar
from Cedar Cliff.
You know youve been in
those matches before where
both guys are tired, Hammer-
stone said. And thats where I
like to break my opponent and
I try to go out and get points
early and eventually hold onto
the win.
Krasavage, the Spartans
126-pounder, remained un-
beaten this season, pushing his
record to 39-0 with a fall in 1:48
over Clearelds Dylan Gra-
ham. Krasavage pulled Graham
down with a bear hug, stepped
into and turned his hip over to
get him on his back. He hung
onto it for the pin as time was
winding down in the rst pe-
riod. It looked at rst as if the
referee wasnt going to call the
fall before time expired, but he
did.
I was hoping he was going
to call it. I didnt want to wres-
tle a second period. I wanted to
get out of here as fast as I could.
I want to hit the chocolate ride
(at the Hershey chocolate fac-
tory tour), said Krasavage
who got his rst win at states
in his career after qualifying as
a freshman. I dont think Ill
be nervous (today). I will come
out and try to get another pin.
My goal is to win, by pin. I
dont care if I pin my kid in the
rst period. Im going out there
and Im gonna take it to him,
whatever I have.
Krasavages teammate, Tra-
vis Roper, didnt fare as well.
The junior was pinned in his
rst career match in Hershey
by Central Bucks East junior
Francesco Fabozzi in 5:28.
The 132-pound Roper
dropped to the consolations
where he went against Alex
Smith from Manheim Town-
ship in an attempt to stay in
contention for a medal. In a
match with 25 points scored,
Roper was down 11-4 enter-
ing the fourth period when he
got Smith on his back and ap-
peared to have a fall but was
only awarded points.
It wasnt enough, as his sea-
son concluded with a 14-11
loss.
I was down there. It looked
like one (a pin to me), Valley
West coach Drew Feldman. He
knows hes right there. Hope-
fully this is motivation, takes
a look around the arena and
realizes this is where he wants
to be. Come back next year and
make a run at the state title.

HERSHEY Penn State
has always been a big draw for
wrestlers in the entire state.
The Nittany Lions popular-
ity has skyrocketed since Cael
Sanderson took over as head
coach and led the team to
back-to-back national champi-
onships.
Theres evidence of the Lions
program all around the Giant
Center during this weekends
PIAA Championships.
Just look at Penn States
recruiting class, starting with
Bentons Zain Retherford, who
is considered by many as the
top recruit in the country and
is shooting for his second state
title this weekend in Class 2A
at 138.
Three other past champs
are also slated to go to State
College in the fall. Kiski
Areas Matt McCutceon (195
pounds), who won last season
in 3A, along with Chambers-
burgs Garrett Hammond
(152), who is a two-time nal-
ist and a returning champion.
Junior Thomas Haines from
Solanco, who is a two-time
champ in Class 3A at 220,
gave a verbal commitment to
Sandersons squad.
Thats the kind of standard
Penn State has set and the way
they want to go, Valley West
coach Drew Feldman said.
Its great to keep everybody
in house. Keep everybody in
state, not lose them to other
states. Its nice to get all your
high school guys on one col-
lege team. Penn State, Cael,
theyre doing a good job.
Others who will don a blue-
and-white singlet next season
and are wrestling in Hershey
are Cody Law (160, Class 2A)
from Forest Hills and Council
Rock Souths P.J. Steinmetz
(195, 3A). Steinmetz and Mc-
Cutcheon could square off in
todays quarternals.
Nittany Lion faithful are hop-
ing two-time undefeated state
champion Chance Marsteller
from Kennard-Dale soon com-
mits to the program. Marstell-
er, a junior at 160 in Class 3A,
has been seen wearing Penn
State clothing throughout his
career and has even attended
several duals at Rec Hall.
Some believe he will skip
college for a chance to wrestle
in the 2016 Olympics because
the sport was currently pulled
from the 2020 games. He is
set to make an announcement
some time later this year.
UNBEATENS REMAIN
The rst day of action
between both tournaments
consisted of no upsets when it
comes to undefeated wrestlers.
All 12 wrestlers who entered
the Class 2A Tournament
unbeaten ended Thursdays
action the same way. The only
one of the dozen who was in
any kind of trouble was Jef-
ferson Morgan 170-pounder
Dustin Conti, who improved to
38-0 with a 3-1 decision.
The same occurred in 3A
with all nine grapplers without
a loss getting victories. The
closest win came by Tyree
Spearman from McDowell at
160 with a 6-3 win.
CHAMPS STILL ALIVE
If a wrestler began the day as
a past champion, he ended the
day with a chance to win yet
another.
Class 2A defending champi-
ons, Darian Cruz (Bethlehem
Catholic,
120 pounds), Ryan Diehl
(Trinity, 126), Zain Retherford
(Benton, 138), Michael Rac-
ciato (Pen Argyl, 145), Ryan
Solomon (Milton, 195) and
Nazar Mironenko (Mifinburg,
285) all were victorious.
In 3A, eight wrestlers have
the opportunity to claim
another gold and the whole
group was victorious on
Thursday. They are: Ethan
Lizak (Parkland, 113), Connor
Schram (Canon-McMillan,
126), Garrett Hammond
(Chambersburg, 152), Garrett
Peppelman (Central Dauphin,
160), Chance Marsteller
(Kennard-Dale, 160), Cody
Wiercioch (Canon-McMillan,
170), Matt McCutcheon (Kiski

Denny Hamlin says he wont
pay the $25,000 ne leveled on
him by NASCAR on Thursday
after his criticism of the Gen-6
race car.
Hamlin couldnt understand
why he was at the center of
NASCARs latest tempest over
its drivers media comments. He
compared the newrace car unfa-
vorably to last years car.
Although Hamlins brief com-
ments were barely noticed last
weekend, NASCAR leveled a
signicant ne against him be-
fore Thursdays open test of the
new car at Las Vegas.
Ultimately, Im not OK with
it, Hamlin said outside his
hauler after the morning test.

Saturday signs contract
to retire with Indianapolis
AP PHOTO
INDIANAPOLIS Indianap-
olis gave Jeff Saturday a chance
to fulll his NFL dream.
On Thursday, he came back
to thank the town and the team
that embraced his improbable
journey from undrafted free
agent to NFL star.
Moments after signing his
nal contract with the Colts,
Indys longtime center and a
key gure in forging a settle-
ment to the 2011 NFL lockout
ofcially retired with the team
that brought him into the
league 14 years ago.
This does not happen for
many players, especially many
offensive linemen, Saturday
said. Im excited to retire as a
Colt. I mean, this is my home.
This is what weve supported
for so many years. I was known,
no matter what team I was play-
ing for, as a Colt. So its good to
put that horseshoe on and go
out that way.
Colts fans will always remem-
ber Saturday for his gritty play
and down-to-earth attitude.
Nationally, he will forever be
known as the voice of reason
during the contentious lockout
negotiations. Saturday lob-
bied on behalf of the players
he represented and constantly
urged both sides to remember
that they would be best served
by reaching a settlement rather
than losing the golden goose.
After the two sides agreed to
a 10-year collective bargaining
agreement, Saturdays embrace
of Patriots owner Robert Kraft
became an endearing image of
labor peace. Kraft had just n-
ished speaking about his wife,
Myra, who died during the ne-
gotiations, when Saturday put
aside Indys bitter rivalry with
New England, hugged Kraft and
then credited him for saving
football.
On Thursday, Saturday ac-
knowledged his appreciation for
Colts football also played a big
role in reaching a compromise.
This organization is what I
hope all the NFL teams strive
to be. In every negotiation I was
involved with the PA (players
association) and the NFL, I
used us (the Colts) as an ex-
ample of what you should strive
to and I make no bones about
it, he said. This organization
is the best in the business.
Titans re-sign DE Dawson
NASHVILLE, Tenn. The
Tennessee Titans have kept one
of their pending free agents off
the market, signing defensive
end Keyunta Dawson to a one-
year contract.
The Titans announced the
deal Thursday. That leaves
them with 16 players set to
become free agents Tuesday.
Dawson originally signed
with Tennessee last year, but
the veteran played in the rst
three games of the season
before a hamstring injury put
him on injured reserve. But the
6-foot-3 Dawson did have three
sacks in the preseason and was
used as a pass rusher off the
bench before his injury.
Giants vets redo contracts
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.
A person familiar with the
deals says New York Giants
cornerback Corey Webster and
center David Baas have re-
worked their contracts for the
2013 season with the team.
The person, who spoke on
condition of anonymity Thurs-
day because the Giants havent
announced the deals, told The
Associated Press the starters
and the team just nished work
on the contracts.
NFL Network rst reported
the agreements and said Web-
ster took a $3 million pay cut.
He had a disappointing 2012
season and will earn $4 million
in the nal year of his contract.
NFL Network also said Baas
re-structured his ve-year
contract. He still will earn $4.25
million in third year but his
base pay was lowered to $1.25
million.

PHILADELPHIA Chris
Kunitz scored his second
goal just 18 seconds into the
third period to cap a four-goal
rally and lift the Pittsburgh
Penguins to a 5-4 victory over
the Philadelphia Flyers on
Thursday night.
Pascal Dupuis, James
Neal and Tyler Kennedy also
scored goals for the Atlantic
Division-leading Penguins,
who won their third straight
game.
Jakub Voracek had two
power-play goals, Zac Rinaldo
and Kimmo Timonen also
scored for the Flyers, who
blew a 4-1 lead after the rst
period.
Both starting goalies
Philadelphias Ilya Bryzgalov
and Pittsburghs Marc-Andre
Fleury were pulled after
allowing four goals.
Scott Hartnell had his
tying goal disallowed near
the midpoint of the third
period because his stick was
above the crossbar when he
deected Timonens shot into
the net.
Bruins 4, Maple Leafs 2
BOSTON Tyler Seguin
had two goals and an assist
and Patrice Bergeron had one
of each to lead the Boston

Elias and Adam Henrique
got the Devils to the over-
time, scoring in the nal 6
1/2 minutes, with Elias tying
the game on a rebound with
66 seconds left in regulation.
Rangers 2, Islanders 1
UNIONDALE, N.Y. Mar-
ian Gaborik scored a power-
play goal 42 seconds into
overtime, and the New York
Rangers rallied for a victory
over the New York Islanders.
Gaborik took a feed in the
high slot from Rick Nash, who
got the Rangers even at 1 with
5:23 left in regulation, and
red in a shot for his eighth
of the season and rst in nine
games.
The Rangers got their third
power play of the night the
only advantages for either
team when Michael Del
Zotto was hauled down as he
crashed in on Islanders goalie
Evgeni Nabokov 21 seconds
into the extra session.
Capitals 7, Panthers 1
WASHINGTON John
Erskine, Wojtek Wolski, John

RALEIGH, N.C. Brandon
Prust and Lars Eller each had
a goal and two assists to lead

NEW YORK The NHL moved a step closer to realignment
Thursday as the players association approved a proposed plan
that is set to go into effect next season.
Now that the league has gotten the go-ahead from union chief
Donald Fehr, the NHL will only need to get approval from team
owners to put it in place.
The NHL Players Association conrmed to us today that it
has consented to a revised plan for realignment, effective for
the 2013-14 season, NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said in
a statement. Our next step will be to bring the proposed plan for
realignment to the NHL board of governors for its consideration.
Fehr signed off on the plan after discussions with the unions ex-
ecutive board and said the realignment issue will be re-evaluated
following the 2014-15 season.
No ofcial details of the changes have been released by the
NHL, but it is widely believed that teams such as Detroit and Co-
lumbus will be put into more travel-friendly divisions in the East-
ern time zone, and the Winnipeg Jets will leave the Southeast Di-
vision for a spot in the Western Conference.

NEW YORK Kevin Durant
had 34 points, including the go-
ahead free throws with 1:38 left,
and the Oklahoma City Thun-
der pulled out a 95-94 victory
over the New York Knicks on
Thursday night.
Russell Westbrook struggled
over the nal three quarters
but nished with 21 points, six
rebounds and ve assists in the
Thunders rst trip to New York
since Dec. 22, 2010. Durant also
had eight boards and six assists.
Oklahoma City posted its
third straight win, ghting off
a spirited effort by a Knicks
team missing All-Star Carmelo
Anthony.
J.R. Smith scored a season-
high 36 points for the Knicks,
but missed a turnaround
jumper that would have won it
as time ran out.
Anthony missed his second
straight game with what the
Knicks said is a stiff and sore
right knee.
Irvings knee still
a concern for Cavaliers
CLEVELAND The
Cavaliers wont risk losing Kyrie
Irving for any more games.
On Thursday, Cleveland
coach Byron Scott said he will
consider shutting down his All-
Star point guard, who recently
missed three games with a
hyperextended right knee and
said after Wednesdays come-
back win over Utah that the
injury was still bothering him.
If Ky is hurting, I have no
problem sitting him down,
Scott said.
Playing his second straight
game after resting for a week,
Irving scored 20 points with 10
rebounds and seven assists as
the Cavs overcame a 12-point
decit in the fourth quarter and
beat the Jazz 104-101. Irving
scored 11 points in the nal
4:21, but after the game said his
knee still wasnt 100 percent.
The only way I would get
better is if I sit out for the rest
of the season, and Im not doing
that, Irving said.
The comment surprised
Scott, who said he will talk to
Irving and trainer Max Benton
before any decisions are made.
If there is any way of doing
more damage by continuing to
play, then Ill nd that out and
well go from there, Scott said.
I want him (Irving) to go out
there and play and be effective
for us, Scott said. I dont want
him playing at 100 percent.
Irving played almost 38 min-
utes against the Jazz and didnt
seem to be slowed by the right
knee, which he banged against
teammate Omri Casspis knee
in a practice two weeks ago.
The Cavs rested their 20-year-
old star for three games and he
returned Monday night when
Cleveland hosted the Knicks.
Irving did not speak with
reporters following a light prac-
tice. With games almost every
other day, Scott is using the off
days to have his players work on
their shooting and lift weights.

The free app is available in the Apple
App Store and the Android Market-
place. An app for the March 16 parade
in Wilkes-Barre will also be available
next week.
Retailers gains sluggish
Americans cut back on spending in
February as cold weather and econom-
ic challenges chilled their appetite for
spring merchandise.
The nations retailers on Thursday
reported that sales slowed in Febru-
ary, a time when most stores get rid of
winter merchandise and bring in swim-
suits, ankle length pants and other
spring fashions.
But Americans spent more judicious-
ly during the month as they contended
with an increase in the payroll tax of 2
percentage points, income tax refunds
that came later than usual and rising
gas prices.
Winter storms throughout much
of the country in February also likely
made spring merchandise less appeal-
ing to them.
Jobless benet claims fall
New jobless claims dropped last
week to 340,000, near a post-Great
Recession low, and the less volatile
four-week average fell to its lowest
level in ve years, the Labor Depart-
ment said Thursday.
The data were another sign of im-
provement in the labor market ahead
of todays February unemployment
report, despite tax increases that took
effect on Jan. 1.
Analysts project that the economy
added about 160,000 jobs last month
and that the unemployment rate
remains at 7.9 percent.
Economists had expected initial job-
less claims to rise last week to about
355,000.

WASHINGTON It took 5
years.
Surging stock prices and steady
home-price increases nally have
allowed Americans to regain the
$16 trillion in wealth they lost to
the Great Recession. The gains are
helping support the economy and
could lead to further spending and
growth.
Household wealth amounted to
$66.1 trillion at the end of 2012, the
Federal Reserve said Thursday. That
was $1.2 trillion more than three
months earlier and 98 percent of the
pre-recession peak.
Further increases in stock and
home prices this year mean that
Americans net worth has since
topped the pre-recession peak of
$67.4 trillion, private economists
say.
Wealth had bottomed at $51.4 tril-
lion in early 2009.
Its all but certain that we sur-
passed that peak in the rst quarter,
said Aaron Smith, senior economist
at Moodys Analytics.
Household wealth, or net worth,
reects the value of assets such as
homes, stocks and bank accounts
minus debts like mortgages and
credit cards. National home prices
have extended their gains this year.
And the Standard & Poors 500 in-
dex, a broad gauge of the stock mar-
ket, has surged 8 percent since Jan.
1.
Some economists caution that
the recovered wealth might spur
less consumer spending than it did
before the recession. Dana Saporta,
an economist at Credit Suisse, notes
the value of home equity Americans
are cashing out has fallen 90 percent
in six years.
And since the housing bust, when
home values fell broadly for the rst
time in decades, many homeowners
are doubtful that higher prices will
last, Saporta said. They wont neces-
sarily spend more as a result.
The rebound in wealth has ben-
eted mostly wealthier Americans.

SCRANTON The ink on a federal
bankruptcy judges order approving the
sale of Sn Mountain to the resorts largest
creditor wasnt dry before speculation be-
gan on who will own the 440-acre property
next season.
As skiers and snowboarders spent
Wednesday on the slopes and terrain at the
nancially troubled attraction, Judge Jean
FitzSimon accepted DFM Realty Inc.s $4.6
million mixed cash and credit bid for the
skiing and water-park complex on Mon-
tage Mountain. DFM Realty, an afliate of
National Penn Bank of Boyertown, Berks
County, bid $4.6 million during a four-hour
auction held last week in Philadelphia.
That bank previously extended two mort-
gages to Sn Mountains owners totaling
more than $8.9 million and is the facilitys
largest secured creditor. Because of that, it
was permitted to bid up to that $8.9 million.
In the end, it didnt have to go that high, as
second highest bidder Montage Mountain
Resort LPs top bid was $4.5 million.
Montage Mountain Resorts LLC, a Phila-
delphia-area investment group, has owned
the property since 2006. It purchased the
resort from Lackawanna County for $5.1
million that year and has operated the at-
traction while losing money ever since. It
led for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection
last fall.
Even with the history of operating losses,
if the auction is an indication, members of
that ownership group seem interested in
making an effort to purchase the property
from the bank. Scott Tattar, a spokesman
for the group, did not return a call seeking
comment on Thursday.
The third bidder at least weeks auction
is still expressing an interest in the resort.
CBH20, a group backed by Arthur Berry
III, the owner of Camelback Mountain
Resort in Tannersville, Monroe County,
opened with a $1 million bid but never
raised it.
Berry said his group would not pay any-
where in the ballpark of $4.5 million. But
ownership might not be the only way his
group could get involved in Sn Mountain.
He threwout the possibility that Camelback
could serve as an operator of Sn Mountain
if the new owner was interested.
In an email Thursday, Catharine Bower,
a spokeswoman for National Penn Bank,
declined to comment on what the bank has
planned for the property.
Gary F. Seitz, who has served as a court-
appointed operator after Sn Mountain
led for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection
in October after piling up $24.2 million in
debt, said the closing on the sale is set to
occur no later than April 19. The resort
will continue to operate, weather permit-
ting, to the usual season end.

Facebook showed off a redesign
of its News Feed on Thursday that
features bigger pictures, a cleaner
look and a series of optional feeds
that will let users focus on photos,
music or other specialized topics.
The new design eventually could
let Facebook show users more ad-
vertisements in the stream of up-
dates and posts that users view, ac-
cording to CEO Mark Zuckerberg,
but he suggested the change will be
gradual.
While the main News Feed page
will still rank posts according to
Facebooks formula for calculating
what users want to see based on
their past likes and those of their
friends Zuckerberg said users
also will be able to switch to a spe-
cialized stream showing only pho-
tos or just music and concert news.
If they wish, users also can switch
to a stream that shows every post
from all their friends, or from the
commercial pages and businesses
that a user has liked.
Those specialized feeds will be
like the sections of a newspaper,
Zuckerberg said. We view our-
selves as a medium for all kinds of
information and other content that
Facebook users want to share, he
added.
The new design represents the
biggest change to Facebooks News
Feed in nearly two years. Previous
revisions have sparked a backlash
from users who did not like chang-
ing from what they were used to.
But Facebook executives said the
company believes the new design
responds to users requests. They
add that it will be introduced grad-
ually to waves of users, so the com-
pany can take their feedback into
account.
