ELECTION
A Luzerne County Council majority
sealed in a 2 percent tax hike Tuesday,
wrapping up weeks of debate over the
best way to function amid declining reve-
nue.
Council members Jim Bobeck, Tim
McGinley, Harry Haas, Elaine Maddon
Curry, Linda McClosky Houck and Eu-
gene Kelleher said they approved the
$122.7 million spending plan because
they believed staff cuts would be too
drastic without a tax hike.
Layoffs were re-
duced from an estimat-
ed 106 to 56 with the
$1.7 million from the
tax increase.
The layoffs will be fi-
nalized over the next
few days and take ef-
fect March 1, said
county Interim Manager Tom Pribula.
The tax increase amounts to $10.50 on
a property assessed at $100,000. The
countys tax rate is now 5.32 mills, or
$532 on a $100,000 property.
Five council members opposed the
plan: Rick Morelli, Stephen A. Urban,
Stephen J. Urban, Edward Brominski
and Rick Williams.
Brominski said he wont vote for any
county budget that continues the Wyom-
ing Valley levee fee. He said all property
owners should share in the levee mainte-
nance expense, just as his tax payments
help fund county roads he doesnt use.
Stephen J. Urban said the county
needs some liposuction to eliminate
fat, and a tax increase eliminates some
incentive for management to come up
with savings.
Kelleher said the budget provides a
bridge for incoming manager Robert
Lawton to effectively study offices and
identify consolidations and other effi-

WILKES-BARRE A city po-
lice detective took possession of
a machete foundTuesday infront
of 201 Lehigh St., about 40 yards
fromwhere a 15-year-old boy was
slashed in the wrist last week.
The machete was found in
bushes in front of the house just
before 11 a.m.
The Wilkes-Barre Police De-
partment has in custody a ma-
chete that was reported found on
the 200 block of Lehigh St. It is
unclear right
now if it is the
machete used
inlast weeks at-
tack, but it is
being sent for
processing for
fingerprints
and blood to try
to confirm,
said city
spokesman
Drew
McLaughlin.
A patrol offi-
cer accompa-
nied the detec-
tive to the
house, which is located just west
from the intersection of South
Grant and Lehigh streets, where
the boy was severely injured last
Thursday in a fight involving a
large group of people, mostly stu-
dents from Wilkes-Barre Areas
GAR High School.
The patrol officer remained in
the neighborhood after the ma-
chete was taken away in an evi-
dence bag on Tuesday.
The boy suffered a nearly se-
vered hand and underwent sur-
gery at Geisinger Wyoming Val-
ley Medical Center in Plains
Township.
Students said the fight was
planned between students of
African-American and Domin-
ican heritage. The fight took
place across the street fromGAR.
Police said the victim, a fresh-
man at GAR, is black and the at-
tacker is Hispanic.
No charges have been filed.
Wilkes-Barre Area Superin-
tendent Dr. Jeffrey Namey said
the attacker was not a GAR stu-
dent.

WASHINGTONThe United
States and Europe are consider-
ing unprecedented punishment
against Iran that could immedi-
ately cripple the countrys finan-
cial lifeline. But its an extreme
option in the banking world that
would come
with its own
costs.
The Obama
administration
wants Iran evic-
ted from
SWIFT, an in-
dependent fi-
nancial clearin-
ghouse that is
crucial to the
countrys over-

That would
leapfrog the
current slow-
pressure cam-
paign of sanc-
tions aimed at persuading Iran to
drop what the U.S. and its allies
contend is a drive toward devel-
oping and building nuclear weap-
ons. It also perhaps would buy
time for the U.S. to persuade Is-
rael not to launch a pre-emptive
militarystrikeonIranthis spring.
The last-resort financial effort
suggests the U.S. and Europe are
grasping for ways to show imme-
diate results because economic
sanctions have so far failed to
force Iran back to nuclear talks

WILKES-BARRE Members of the
Wilkes University community on
Tuesday had their first chance to meet
one of three finalists hoping to be-
come the next president of the school.
Jim Gandre, provost and executive
vice president of Roosevelt University,
which has campuses in Chicago and
Schaumburg, Ill., was on the schools
campus Tuesday. He followed an itin-
erary the two other finalists also will
see when they visit in the next week:
Breakfast with the search committee,
lunch with the deans, a social with
alumni and trustees and meetings
with students and staff in between.
The 11-member search committee
started the process last year with 120
candidates, according to committee
member and political science profes-
sor Tom Baldino.
We narrowed that number to 12
with the help of our consultant, Bal-
dino said. The list was whittled down
to four, then the three finalists. In ad-
dition to Gandre, 52, the other remain-
ing candidates are Patrick Leahy, 43,
and Molly Smith, 53.
Jennie Sikes, chairwoman of the
search committee, said Each has a
thorough understanding of the oppor-
tunities and challenges facing higher
education, and a deep commitment to
serving students.
Talking to about two-dozen stu-
dents Tuesday at the student union,
Gandre said he sees himself as a
hands-on president who would go out
of his way to engage students, staff
and administrators to get a better un-
derstanding of the campus mindset.

who opposes the possible closure of
Meyers High School is urging residents
to attend a special Wilkes-Barre Area

WHAT S
NEXT
WILKES-BARRE A man and a
woman charged with abusing a teen
boy each pleaded no contest in Lu-
zerne County Court on Tuesday to a
related charge and were sentenced to
probation.
James Antonelli, 65, of Sugarloaf
Township, entered the plea to a charge
of criminal conspiracy to commit inde-
cent assault, and Jennie Marie Moore,
47, of Hazleton, to a charge of indecent
assault.
A no-contest plea means a defend-
ant does not refute the charges.
Both Antonelli and Moore were sen-
tenced to 30 months probation by
Judge David Lupas and or-
dered to register their ad-
dresses under Megans Law
for a period of 10 years.
The duo was scheduled
to stand trial on the charges
Tuesday.
Im sorry it all hap-
pened, Moore said Tues-
day.
The boy, now 17, said he
had nothing to say to either
Antonelli or Moore and that
he is happy there is finally closure in
the case.
The boys grandfather, who has cus-
tody of the 17-year-old, told Lupas his
grandson has to attend counseling and
the case has affected his entire life.
Antonelli did not speak before being
sentenced.
According to court records, the teen-
ager told state police troopers in June
2010 he was abused by Antonelli and
Moore in April 2007. The
boy said on a day when it
was cold and rainy, he was
intentionally locked out of
the residence.
State police allege the
boy said he was forced by
Antonelli to performa sex
act on Moore and was as-
saulted if the act was un-
satisfactory.
Luzerne County Chil-
dren and Youth Services
obtained letters written by Moore stat-
ing how the child was instructed to
touch her nude body, according to
court papers. Antonelli had previously
pleaded guilty to a related charge, but
withdrew that plea in March 2011.
He was evaluated by the state Sex-
ual Offenders Assessment Board,
which said Antonelli did not meet the

Two women who work with
the intellectually and develop-
mentallydisabledonadailyba-
sis in Luzerne County not only
received updates on advocacy
issues during their day at the
White House on Friday, they al-
so were paid a visit from the
president himself.
Pamela Zotynia and Lynn
Ahmad, from The Arc of Lu-
zerne County, attended a Com-
munity Leaders Briefing Series
along with about 150 other rep-
resentatives of The Arc a na-
tional advocacy organization
that promotes and protects the
human rights of people with in-
tellectual and developmental
disabilities.
Zotynia, executive director
of The Arc of Luzerne County,
brought back a program that
listed speakers they heard
throughout the day 14 high-
level members of the adminis-
tration such as Kareem Dale,
special assistant to the presi-
dent for disability policy, and
Cecilia Muoz, director of the
Domestic Policy Council.
Zotynia said there were a few
surprise visitors, such as
White House Chief of Staff Jack
Lew.
And later in the morning,
they stopped the program and
there was some silence for a bit
and President Obama came by.
The self-advocates just went
out of their minds, it was really
cool for them. Weweretoldthat
he very rarely does do things
like this, so it was a huge honor
for The Arc that he felt he need-
ed to make time in his day to
comeandspeaktous, shesaid.
Zotynia said the presidents
message was that he absolute-
ly supports people with disabil-
ities and that they should have
the same opportunities as ev-
ery citizen in our country.
She said the president
thanked everyone for their ad-
vocacy work and said he hoped
the partnerships they devel-
oped with the government con-
tinue and help his administra-
tion move forward. I think the
quote he gave at the end was, I
got your back. Sothat was very,
very exciting for us, she said.

mendation. The committee re-
cently toured Meyers, and is set

He said the school board is ex-
amining all op-
tions, including
closing one of
the schools and
transferring

remaining two,
or closing all
three and build-
ing a new

tion we are fac-

right thing to do, certainly the

any decision is an informed deci-
sion.

Business background
Leahy, who has the least ex-
perience in academia of the fi-
nalists, brings a business back-
ground that the other two lack.
He worked briefly at George-
town University in Washington,
D.C., as a program director af-
ter he graduated from
that Catholic college.
He then went into the
private sector for 13
years, taking jobs at
the Deluxe Corp. in
Boston and then Allied
Capital Corp. in Wash-
ington before serving
as president of The Ith-
aca, N.Y.-based The
Business Affairs Fo-
rum.
In 2004, he left that
organization to be-
come executive assist-
ant to the Rev. Scott R.
Pilarz, who then was
president at The Uni-
versity of Scranton.
Leahy worked his way
up to vice president for univer-
sity relations and finally, in Au-
gust 2010, to executive vice
president.
In that capacity, he led efforts
to complete the schools $125
million capital campaign,
which ended on May 31, 2011 at
29 percent above its goal.
His time over the past eight
years in higher education has
brought praise from those who
know his work.
Kevin P. Quinn, current presi-
dent at The University of Scran-
ton, said, Given Pats expertise
and accomplishments, I am not
surprised that he is among the
finalists being considered for
this position. Although I would
miss him at Scranton, I do, of
course, wish him well in this
search process.
Resigned after 2 years
Smith, who in 2011 resigned
from her job as president of
Manhattanville College in New
York after just two years, says in
her curriculum vitae she built
strong town-gown relation-
ships with area corporations
and community organizations
in her time at the small inde-
pendent school.
Her career shows short-lived
stints at her most recent places
of employment, and some con-
troversy.
She spent four years at Seton
Hall University in New Jersey
as dean of the schools College
of Arts and Sciences.
According to a 2005 Newark
Star-Ledger newspaper article,
Smith demoted the associate
dean, W. King Mott, after the
newspaper published his letter
to the editor criticizing the Ca-
tholic Churchs treatment of ho-
mosexuals. Smith
said it was inappro-
priate for Mott, who
is gay, to include his
Seton Hall title with
his signature on the
letter because it ap-
peared he was
speaking for the Ca-
tholic university.
Following the de-
motion, the news-
paper reported, 47
members of the arts
and sciences faculty
approved an unoffi-
cial resolution criti-
cizing Smiths ac-
tions as excessive
and rash and ques-
tioning whether she
violated Motts academic free-
dom.
After leaving Seton Hall, she
went to Wheaton College in
Massachusetts, where she took
the job of provost/vice presi-
dent of academic affairs.
She left that job to accept the
Manhattanville position after
just two years.
After the three candidates
visit, an online survey will be
available for the campus com-
munity to take and those results
will be taken into consideration
by the search committee when
it makes its recommendation to
the board of trustees, which has
the final say on hiring the per-
son to replace retiring presi-
dent Tim Gilmour.
The board then makes the fi-
nal decision. It may or may not
agree with the search commit-
tees recommendation, Baldi-
no said.

The payroll tax cut and renewing

nounced in September. The payroll
tax cut benefits 160 million Amer-
icans and delivers a tax cut totaling
$2,000 this year for someone making
a $100,000 salary and a cut of $20 a
week for a typical worker making
$50,000.
Just pass this middle-class tax
cut. Pass the extension of unemploy-
ment insurance, Obama said at a
White House appearance. Do it be-
fore its too late and I will sign it
right away.
The potential agreement also
would avert a huge cut in Medicare

days, as the U.N. human rights chief
raised fears of civil war.
Troops loyal to President Bashar
Assad have been shelling Homs for
more than a week to retake parts of the
city captured by rebel forces.
Homs was under brutal shelling on
Tuesday, the Local Coordination Com-
mittees activist group said, citing its
network of witnesses on the ground.
Another activist group, the Britain-
based Syrian Observatory for Human
Rights, said it was the heaviest shelling
in days.
WASHINGTON
Obama eyes huge nuke cuts
The Obama administration is weigh-
ing options for sharp new cuts to the
U.S. nuclear force, including a reduc-
tion of up to 80 percent in the number
of deployed weapons.
Even the most modest option now
being mulled would be an historic and
politically bold disarmament step in a
presidential election year, although the
plan is in line with President Barack
Obamas 2009 pledge to pursue the
elimination of nuclear weapons.
No final decision has been made, but
the administration is considering at
least three options for lower total num-
bers of deployed strategic nuclear
weapons cutting to: 1,000 to 1,100; 700
to 800, and 300 to 400, according to a
former government official and a con-
gressional staffer.
The potential cuts would be from a
current treaty limit of 1,550 deployed
strategic warheads.
A level of 300 deployed strategic
nuclear weapons would take the U.S.
back to levels not seen since 1950.
HARRISBURG
Shale law may be contested
The solicitor for a town in heavily
drilled southwestern Pennsylvania will
explore a lawsuit over the states newly
signed Marcellus Shale law because of
provisions that limit local officials
authority to regulate drilling activity.
Robinson Township in Washington
County on Monday night gave solicitor
John Smith the authority to challenge
the law, which Gov. Tom Corbett
signed earlier in the evening.
Township supervisor Brian Coppola
says the loophole-riddled bill effective-
ly strips away every Pennsylvanians
personal property rights, particularly in
suburban and urban areas. He says it
also will scare off developers over wor-
ries that a drilling rig, waste impound-
ment or compressor station could be
set up nearby.

BANGKOK A wounded Iranian
fleeing an unintended explosion at a
house threw a grenade at Bangkok po-
lice that instead blew off one of his legs
in a series of blasts Tuesday that Israels
defense minister called an attempted
terrorist attack by Iran. The violence
came a day after Israel blamed Tehran
for targeting its diplomats with bombs
in India and Georgia.
Four other people were injured in the
Bangkokexplosions, whichtoretheroof
off a house where the wounded man
lived with two other compatriots. Asec-
ond Iranian was arrested at Bangkoks
international airport as he was trying to
leave Thailand for Malaysia, and a third
was being sought, police said.
Israels Channel 10TVquoteduniden-
tified Thai authorities as saying the cap-
tured Iranians confessed to targeting Is-
raeli interests. Thesiteof theblast is just
a fewmiles fromthe Israeli Embassy.
Thai government spokeswoman Thi-
tima Chaisaeng said we need more
analysis to determine who was behind
the attack and whether Iran was in-
volved. She refused to comment on
what the Iranians might have beenplan-
ningor whether targets hadbeenidenti-
fied.
Theexplosions inthenormallypeace-

ern nations because of Israels threats of
military strikes on Irans nuclear facili-
ties and the recent killings of Iranian
atomic scientists. Iranhas blamedIsrael
for the assassinations, and there have
been signs that Tehran might try to re-
taliate.
Iran denied responsibility for the
bombing of an Israeli diplomatic car in
New Delhi that injured four people and
the foiled bombing of an Israeli diplo-
matic car in Tbilisi, Georgia both on
Monday. Thoseattacks appearedtomir-

WASHINGTON With Postal
Service cuts threatening to slow
mail delivery, agroupof lawmakers
is pushing legislation to require
banks, credit card companies and
other businesses to credit a cus-
tomers account on the date a pay-
ment is postmarked rather than
the date it is received.
The Postmark Payment Act is
similar toa1995bill that hadbipar-
tisan support but never made it
throughCongress inthefaceof op-
position from banks and other in-
dustries that warned it could lead
to higher costs. Similar opposition
is expected with
the neweffort.
We do not
think a compa-
nys success or
profitability
shouldbe tiedto
the U.S. Postal
Service, a spo-
keswoman for
the American Financial Services
Association said Tuesday.
But Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn.,
the bills chief sponsor, sees a grea-
terneedforthebill nowasthePost-
al Service considers cuts to mail
service.
Each month, thousands of
Americans are charged late fees
andpenaltiesforbillstheybelieved
ingoodfaiththeyhadpaidontime,
through no fault of their own, he
said in a statement.
Proponents of the bill note that
the Internal Revenue Service uses
the postmark as proof that a tax-
payer mailed his or her tax return
on or before the deadline.
Postal officials have delayed un-
til mid-May plans to change deliv-
ery standards for first-class mail

NEWARK, N.J. Whitney Houstons
funeral will be held Saturday in the
church where she first showcased her
singing talents as a child, her family
choosing to remember her in a private
service rather than in a large event at an
arena.
The owner of the Whigham Funeral
Home said Tuesday that the funeral will
be held at noon at Newarks New Hope
Baptist Church, which seats up to1,500.
The family said no public memorial
service is planned at
this time. Officials had
discussed the possibili-
ty of holding a memo-
rial at the Prudential
Center, a major sports
and entertainment
venue that can seat
about 18,000 people,
but the funeral home said it had been
ruled out.
Funeral home owner Carolyn Whigh-
am said the church service will be by in-
vitation only, reflecting the familys deci-
siontokeepthememorial morepersonal.
They have shared her for 30-some
years with the city, with the state, with
the world. But this time is their private
time, she said.
Houston, 48, died Feb. 11 at a hotel in
Beverly Hills, Calif., just hours before she
was set to perform at a pre-Grammy
Awards bash. Officials sayshe was under-
water and apparently unconscious when
she was pulled froma bathtub.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TOALLDAMA
TRASH CUSTOMERS
Due to the overwhelming positive response by DAMA solid waste and recycling
customers in the adoption of single-stream recycling, and to help manage the
increased volume of recyclable materials generated as a result of this innovative
collection method, effective the week of February 20, 2012, we will change the
collection of recycling from every other week to a weekly collection. The recycling
format will remain single-stream, however, you will now be able to place all of
your recycling to include paper, glass, plastic and metal cans, curbside in the same
container for collection every week. This change should help ease the burden on
both our customers and the DAMA solid waste division staff, and allow the program
to operate more effciently. During the month of January alone, DAMA collected
approximately 25,000 bags of trash and 144 tons of recycling from our residents.
Please remember the following program guidelines:
Trash & Recycling must be placed curbside by 6:00 AM on the day of your
collection. Trash must be placed in bags, no loose garbage.
There is a two bag, or two standard 33 gallon containers, limit on trash.
Additional trash must have extra bag stickers. Please place recycling curbside in
open containers or clear plastic bags.
Coal & wood ashes must be bagged or boxed, and marked ashes, as these are
removed at no charge to our residents and do not count against your bag limit.
Thank you for your patience and support of this program,
The Board of Directors and Staff of the Dallas Area Municipal Authority
HANOVER TWP. Last year,
Frank Ciavarella took the town-
ship commissioners to task as a
member of theaudience. Nowin
his second month serving as a
commissioner, the tables were
turned.
Past township commissioner
Bob Burns grilled Ciavarella at
Monday nights meeting about
his decision to accept township
health benefits for his wife.
Burns produced a Times
Leader article
quoting Ciavarel-
la as saying he
was against the
township paying
for thebenefits of
commissioners
family members, yet Ciavarella
signeduphis wifefor benefits af-
ter he was sworn into office last
month.
I have nothing against Frank
or his wife, saidBurns. I ranon
this issue, and its a touchy sub-
ject for me.
Burns lost his bid last year for
re-election to the board of com-
missioners.
Ciavarella said he never made
a campaign promise not to ac-
cept township health benefits.
Theonlyreasonhesigneduphis
wife was that the townships
benefits are better than those
she nowreceives, he said.
I will get it back to the tax-
payers through hard work, said
Ciavarella. Ill earn my keep.
Ciavarella said he would also
reimburse the township $200
each month for the cost of the
benefits for his wife.
AccordingtoBurns, the town-
ship pays about $1,900 per
month for family plan health
benefits. Commissioners cost
the township about $880 each
per month for those who accept
the benefits.
It was unclear how much ex-
tra Ciavarellas wife would be
costing the township, but Burns
believes it would be about
$13,000 per year.
Township officials did not
have information available
about the townships healthben-
efits at the meeting or who was
accepting them.
The commis-
sioners also:
Approved a
liquor license
transfer to Gerri-
tys Supermar-
kets Inc., Sans Souci Parkway.
Companyofficials saidtheyplan
to openanarea adjacent to a res-
taurant locatedinside the super-
market where customers can
purchase beer, wines and liquor.
Approvedpurchasing a new
garbage packer for $147,852
from Stadium International
Trucks and a newpower washer
for $3,175 fromLance Chemical
Works.
Adopted the $50 per year
sewer fee to install sewers in
Truesdale Terrace and Witin-
skis Villa and maintain the
township sewer system. Ciava-
rella voted no, saying residents
shouldnot have topay for the in-
stallation.

WRIGHT TWP. -- Board of Su-
pervisors Chairman Donald
Zampetti on Monday night pre-
sented a construction firms de-
tailed plans for the renovation of
a building along Independence
Drive.
According to the plans, the
company wants to convert the
building into a machine shop
and use the property to park ma-
chinery.
The area is already zoned ap-
propriately, and because only
the existing structure is to be
modified, the company needs
only to obtain the necessary per-
mits.
However, the nearby property
is residential.
The residents arent going to
like that those trucks going
back and forth, said township
secretary Joan Malkemes.
Also, supervisors thanked to
the Police Officers Association
for purchasing a second Taser
for the police force that they said
cost about $1,000.
Police Chief Joseph Jacob said
that usually two officers patrol
the township and now both can
be equipped with the non-lethal
weapon.
Supervisor Louis Welebob
proposed the township hire a
part-time public works crew-
member to fill a vacancy -- a
move that would save the town-
ship about $15,000 annually and
ease the workload for the cur-
rent works crew.
Supervisor Daniel Frascella
read an addendum to the cur-
rent township employee insur-
ance program that explained the
limited coverage for workers.
The township provides limit-
ed coverage for individual em-
ployees.
The township, however, will
not cover employees depend-
ents.
Employees must pay the full
premium for their families.

WARRIOR RUN -- Borough
Council on Monday night ap-
proved an addendum to last

ed the 2006 edition of the Inter-
national Property Maintenance
Code and the Uniform Con-
struction Code.
Solicitor James Pyrahsaidthe
newfee schedule would give the
boroughs new code enforce-
ment officer, GregGulick, guide-
lines on howmuch to charge for
violations. Pyrah said the maxi-
mumpenalty on code violations
will be $300.
In another matter, Sugar
Notch Councilman Mario Fio-
rucci presented to the council
his idea for paving an additional
shoulder on the road between
Sugar Notch and Warrior Run.
Fiorucci said this paving would
provide a safe place for residents
to walk or ride bicycles between
the two towns.
He said that although he had
contacted PennDOT about the
project, he did not yet know
when the road was scheduled to
be repaved.
Fiorucci said this could be a
project for the future. It could
be five years, it could be10 years
before PennDOT repaves, he
said.
If the shoulder roadproject is
accepted by PennDOT, we will
have to pay for costs, but there
are lots of grants available, he
said.
Fiorucci said he remembers
walking from Sugar Notch to
Warrior Run for Scout meetings
as a boy. He saidthere isnt a safe
way to walk now because of
speeding traffic. It would be
nice if we could connect the two
towns again.
In another matter, council
President Robert Daylida an-
nounced renovations to the bor-
ough building are complete ex-

Northampton counties, includ-
ing the cities of Scranton, Wilkes-
Barre, Easton and Pittston.
Incumbent Rep. Lou Barletta,
of Hazleton, was the only Repub-
lican to file for the 11th District.
Democrats Bill Vinsko, a Wilkes-
Barre resident and city solicitor
for Wilkes-Barre, and Gene Stilp,
a suburban Harrisburg resident
who is a Wilkes-Barre native, fil-
ed petitions to
appear on the
ballot in that
district. While
Barletta and
Stilp live in the
district, though
at opposite
ends, Vinsko
lives a football
field away from
the line, and his
house sits in
the 17th Dis-
trict.
Vinsko an-
nounced he
was running in
the 11th before
the new maps
were drawn
and said he re-
mains commit-
ted to running
in that district, which he said hes
very familiar with since he has
worked and attended college in
it.
The 11th includes portions of
Perry, Cumberland, Carbon,
Dauphin and Luzerne counties,
and all of Wyoming, Columbia,
Montour and Northumberland
counties.
Barlettas campaign manager,
Lance Stange Jr., said the cam-
paign broke its old record of pet-
ition signatures collected.
In 2010, our campaign filed
with over 2,100 nominating sig-
natures, the most wed ever filed
in Lous prior runs for Congress.
To have increased that total by
more than 1,000 signatures and
to have collected them in all of
the newly drawn districts nine
counties is deeply gratifying.
Vinsko said he secured signa-
tures from residents in all but
Perry County and said the num-
ber of signatures he collected
shows that people have no
qualms with him running in a
neighboring district.
Im proud to say that 1,600-
plus people want me as their con-
gressman and thought I should
be in the 11th, Vinsko said.
Stilp said he was able to get
signatures from all nine counties
and is looking forward to facing
Barletta in the fall.
I am very happy to have filed
well over the required number of
signatures needed, from every
county in the district. This is just
the first step in defeating Lou
Barletta, and I look forward to
meeting as many of the voters in
the11th district as possible in the
coming months, Stilp said.
One local candidate, Ted Gu-
mina of Swoyersville, failed to
get the required1,000 signatures.
The Democrat was trying to ap-
pear on the ballot for the 11th
District but said he came up 250
signatures short.
Good luck to the other two
gentleman running for the Dem-
ocratic nomination. I wish them
nothing but the best and I will
help them any way I can, Gumi-
na said.
U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Scran-
ton, and Democratic challenger
Joseph Vodvarka of Allegheny
County also filed their petitions.
The Democratic winner will face
one of five Republicans in the
fall. Sam Rohrer, of Robeson
Township, Berks County; Marc
Scaringi, of Camp Hill, Cumber-
land County; David Christian, of
Washington Crossing, Bucks
County; Steve Welch, of Charles-
town Township, Chester County;
and Tom Smith, of Plum Creek
Township, Armstrong County,
all filed petitions to appear on
the ballot.
On the presidential front, Pres-
ident Barack Obama was the
lone Democrat to file nominating
petitions. On the GOP side, for-
mer Massachusetts Gov. Mitt
Romney, former House Speaker
Newt Gingrinch and former U.S.
Sen. Rick Santorum, who repre-
sented Pennsylvania, filed paper-
work, according to the states
website. U.S. Rep. Ron Paul of
Texas also qualified for the bal-
lot, State Department spokes-
man Ron Ruman told The Asso-
ciated Press Tuesday night.

Zotynia said what most sur-
prised her was learning there
are many children in the coun-
try who live in nursing homes.
I have not heard of it hap-
pening in our area but Im
certainly going to look into
that because childrenshould
not be in nursing homes; chil-
dren should be in homes with
families. Thats not to say
nursing homes are bad, but
people, especially young chil-
dren should be able to play in a
yard and have childhoods. I
was a little disturbed by that,
she said.
Basically, the message they
gave us, (is that) our country,
the world, is in financial crisis.
There is no new money to in-
fuse into the system, so they
are supportive of the states
coming up with some new cre-
ative programming that can
serve many individuals in a
more cost-effective way, Zoty-
nia said.

If (unions) cant get a handle on
escalating costs, there are going
to be serious issues down the road
that lead to greater cuts.
JimBobeck
The Luzerne County Council chairman and others say they intend to
seek concessions from union workers in the future as a way of
containing the countys escalating salary and compensation costs.
Writer restates his belief
that water cures disease
W
e tend to follow the thinking of our
culture, which today causes many of
us to value money more than people;
that is why the following exists:
Regarding the fantastic water cure arti-
cle in The Times Leader (Touting the
cure, Jan. 16), a Geisinger doctor stated
the established medical community has
not embraced the late Dr. Fereydoon Bat-
manghelidjs theory.
It certainly is not a theory.
Doctors sent Drew Bauman of Old Forge
home to get his affairs in order, as his
cancer was terminal. When I met Drew I
recognized he was simply dehydrated. I
phoned Dr. Batmanghelidj, who confirmed
Drew was severely dehydrated. Dr. B
guided him through the cancer, and most
other problems went away. In less than six
months he was 100 percent cancer-free.
I have seen the same results countless
times after science failed. The fundraising
groups that solicit money to find a solution
to these diseases are not interested.
I have been airing about 600 radio spots
a month reporting incredible water cure
success stories. However, it seems the last
thing the powers that be want to see is any
low- or no-cost solution to any high-profit
problems.
Dr. B said doctors were once trained to
be thinkers and researchers, but now they
are trained to be memorizers and commis-
sioned drug salesmen.
Considering all the controversy over the
water cure, I think it would be a great idea
to stage a friendly debate with the pro-
water cure and pro-orthodox medicine
people.
There is not a lot to debate, especially
when science calls almost everything in-
curable and the water cure calls most
things easily curable.
For a real eye-opener, conduct a Google
search for this: Hippocrates History of the
water cure.

Is urgent care replacing
doctor appointments?
D
oes anyone remember when doctors
would come to your house to see you
when needed? I know that was long
ago and it will never be the norm again.
Many times we need a physician the
same day. Unexpected illness or pain can
happen within hours. It seems that with
the urgent-care facilities in the area, doc-
tors no longer feel the need to see their
patients for same-day appointments. The
doctors offices tell the patients to go to
urgent care. After years of loyalty to a
physician, you would expect loyalty given
back to you.
I find it sad that urgent care, which I
assumed was to help alleviate the conges-
tion in the hospitals ERs, will now be the
place where everyone will be sent rather
than being able to go to their own doctors.

SEND US YOUR OPINION
K
AS MANY of us contem-
plate the recent changes in
the Northeastern Penn-
sylvania health care market,
we might be thinking of the
old Chinese curse, May
you live in interesting
times.
Indeed these are interesting times, and for
some people, they might be scary or even
disappointing times: witness the recent
closing of Carbondales community hospital.
However, I would like to suggest that there
is much more to celebrate than there is to
fear.
Consider first why so many hospitals
recently have been purchased and merged
into larger health care systems. Most of
these smaller, independent hospitals certain-
ly were well-managed and sufficiently
staffed by extremely competent health care
professionals; yet, they could not compete
and achieve the scale and efficiencies that
larger systems could.
One powerful advantage a health system
brings is the ability to seamlessly integrate
and orchestrate a patients care, regardless
of what that patient might need. Needs
might include not only a hospital-based
treatment, but also outpatient care, rehabil-
itative care, home care, nursing care or
preventive care. A health system also brings
incredible efficiencies and economies of
scale in areas such as purchasing power and
centralized support functions such as fi-
nance, marketing and human resources, to
name only a few.
Integrated health systems have the ability
to quickly adapt, learn and replicate new
discoveries, new technologies and new
practices, quickly bringing to bear advantag-
es that will only benefit the patient and the
community. Integrated health systems have
the ability to concentrate capital and lev-
erage strategic investments in state-of-the-
art equipment and facilities.
Finally, and most important, the single
most important driver of the modern health
care system is quality. Every health care
administrator knows and understands that,
in todays environment, quality is the new
bottom line.
Legislative changes already are under
way, including the 2010 health care reform
and the introduction of the Accountable
Care Organization concept. The ACO con-
cept implemented under the umbrella of
Medicare will fundamentally change the
business model of hospitals and doctors by
aligning their rewards and incentives with
the needs of the patient. Innovations such as
electronic medical records, bar coding of
patients and drugs, extensively researched
and refined clinical pathways and best prac-
tices are rapidly becoming the norm, and
the results have been positive.
Put simply, the bar has been raised and
the challenge has been met; the patient is
being so much better served today than
even five years ago, and the trajectory re-
mains positive for continued improvement
in how we deliver health care, achieving not

eliminating waste and reducing medical
errors.
There always is one other very important
variable in the health care equation and that
is you. Every one of us could improve our
health and the health of the community by
taking responsibility for the things that we
can control in our daily lives. Healthy eat-
ing, regular exercise, annual checkups and
even simple hand washing can make a differ-
ence in our personal health status.
Everyone working together toward a
common goal of a healthy community is
something we all can celebrate.

COMMENTARY
J U S T I N M A T U S
T
HE SEPT. 11 attacks
have taken a huge toll
on our economy, the
most obvious being
the changes they inspired in air-
line travel. But one of the most
insidious effects has been the
backlash of immigration poli-
cies that have deprived the in-
novationeconomyof fineminds
from other countries.
Its been especially foolish to
stop encouraging foreign stu-
dents graduating fromU.S. uni-
versities to stay here to start
their careers and businesses.
(In Silicon Valley, as we well
know, those starts canbe simul-
taneous.)
In his State of the Union ad-
dress, President Barack Obama
raiseda wisp of hope that immi-
gration policies could change
despite this being an election
year or perhaps because of it.
Its one thing to fume about ille-
gal border crossing. Its another
to be deliberately discouraging
innovators and potential job
creators fromcomingor staying
here.
Details are sketchy, but as
they become clearer, we hope
thepresident draws onthegood
work by U.S. Rep. Zoe Lofgren,
D-Calif., on this issue. Looking
out for SiliconValleycompanies
that, in good times, run short of
skilled workers, she has spon-
sored a variety of legislation in
recent years that could help re-
store sanity to our immigration
policies, at least regarding high-
ly skilled or educated workers.

TUDENTS WHO care
about GAR Memorial
Junior-Senior High
School and its reputa-
tioninthe Greater Wilkes-Barre
community can take a stand,
saying theyve had enough of ri-
diculous racial clashes and fre-
quent fighting.
Its your school; if you dont
stick up for it after last weeks
outrageous after-school assault,
who will?
Sure, adults including your
teachers, the school districts
board members and parents
needtodotheir parts (seeTues-
days editorial Formulate plan
for safer schools). They and
other grownups are responsible
for providing and paying for the
security measures, daily over-
sight and anti-violence lessons
that keepAmericas school cam-
puses among the safest places
for children and young adults.
But you have something they
dont have and cannot get: mas-
sive influence on your peers.
Use it.
Tell the troublemakers to set-
tletheir differences other places
and in other ways. Rally your
friends andclassmates tocreate
a school of which you can be
proud. Oneinwhichgangmem-
bershipis seenas aweakandsil-
ly attempt to seem important.
One in which brawling is recog-
nized for what it is: a baby-ish
outburst of ones emotions. One
inwhichharassment inthehalls
gets reported and stopped.
Athletes on the Grenadiers
high school sports teams
should show some leadership,
reminding their peers what can
be accomplished with coopera-
tion. Takealook, for instance, at
any Major League Baseball in-
field, where whites, blacks, Do-
minicans and others co-exist
and excel. The importance of
peaceful integration is a mess-
age that Hazleton native and
Tampa Bay Rays Manager Joe
Maddon has tried to emphasize
lately in Luzerne County.
And by now, GARs seniors
certainlyhavegottentheword
from Lady Gaga, Glee, Gand-
hi and a gazillion others that
everyone is uniquely special
and its not OKto pick on some-
one because of their skin color,
speech or other circumstance.
So make sure the underclass-
men understand it, too.
Spearhead projects to pro-
mote a safer school. Urge your
classmates and a parent, or
grandparent, to go with you to
an upcoming school board
meeting to talk about your con-
cerns and potential solutions
no matter how grand. Why not
use Facebook or other means to
implore President Obama,
Oprah or another celebrity to
help bring a sense of unity to
your school?
Dosomethinganythingto
keep senseless fighting from
spoiling your small corner of
the world.
Today, GAR, the eyes of the
community are on your school.
Show some class.

ciencies.
Maddon Curry originally supported
the no-hike budget version but said she
feared services would be severely com-
promised. The budget adopted Tues-
day is honest and attainable, she said.
McClosky Houck said a tax increase
likely would be unnecessary if the
county wasnt saddled with more than
$400 million in debt.
Williams said he respects the views
of fellow council members but cant
support the poor business practice of
using $1.4 million in money borrowed
for capital projects to help pay off debt
a one-time fix that was also incorpo-
rated in the adopted budget. That mon-
ey could be used for other building or
technology needs in county govern-
ment, he said.
Morelli said its very critical to
start 2013 budget planning immediate-
ly so theres time to explore options,
such as union concessions and an early-
retirement buyout.
Haas said he may take a political
hit by approving the increase and
asked the public to judge council mem-
bers on their work over time not just
on the budget vote. He believes servic-
es would be too compromised without
an increase.
It is with a heavy heart that I sup-
port this budget because nobody wants
to see taxes go up, Haas said.
Stephen A. Urban said much of the
debt covered payroll, and he blasted
unions for failing to make concessions.
He challenged the district attorney to
lay off some detectives and rely on state
police and municipal police detectives.
To this day, I dont knowwhat these
detectives do, Urban said, describing
their arbitration-awarded contract as
excessive.
The county District Attorneys Office
will lose about $236,000 compared to
last years $4.7 million in spending.
District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis
said she has no power to change the
terms of the detective union contract
because the commissioners and now
council approve union contracts.
She said she will operate under bud-
get cuts by not filling five vacant posi-
tions. She had the option to sue over
cuts but said she wanted to avoid litiga-
tion against the county.
Stephen A. Urban also complained
about an arbitration award for prison
union workers and another forcing the
county to provide health care for part-
time assistant district attorneys and
public defenders.
I think its foolish to increase taxes
when you look at the excesses in this
county, he said.
He also criticized court connected
employees and the courts resistance to
make cuts.
Until my dying day I will fight to
eliminate the excesses in the court, he
said.
McGinley said everybody must be in-
volved in budget matters because the
county has to start fixing its problems.
Bobeck told workers and managers
in the audience they should already be
thinking about plans to save money be-
cause the 2013 budget must be present-
ed to council by Oct. 15 under home
rule.
Pribula also vented during Tuesdays
meeting, saying its extremely annoy-
ing when departments ignore de-
mands for cuts and new revenue as the
budget is drafted each year. Court offi-
cials come riding in on horses with
pots of gold to prevent court budget
cuts, rather than being up front about
their available revenue as requested at
the start of the budget planning proc-
ess, he said.
Judicial branches ended up with a
3.17 percent overall budget increase in-
stead of steep cuts by identifying addi-
tional revenue in probation services
and domestic relations.
Pribula said discussions about con-
solidating departments are already un-
der way. County officials want cross
training of workers who have the same
job title within the same union so they
are able to work in multiple depart-
ments as needed. County union work-
ers traditionally remained tied to indi-
vidual departments.
A hiring freeze should remain in ef-
fect to continue scaling back staff
through attrition, Pribula said.
In addition to the 56 layoffs, the
amended budget includes savings from
23 jobs eliminated due to retirements,
terminations and home rules abolish-
ment of several elected row officer
posts.
Pribula said the count of 23 has in-
creased to 32 due to additional employ-
ee terminations and resignations.

Luzerne County Council agreed to
extend new county manager Robert
Lawtons start date from Feb. 21 to Feb.
29.
Council Chairman Jim Bobeck said Law-
ton requested the additional time be-
cause he will be driving cross country

The council voted Jan. 24 to hire the
49-year-old Rio Vista man to be the

Lawton will be paid $110,000 plus bene-

His challenges were on display
this week in Tacoma, where hun-
dreds of supporters waited on
cold, wet cement stairs in the
dark to see the Republican presi-
dential candidate with whom
theyre barely famil-
iar.
I dont know a lot
about him, except I
know hes more con-
servative than some
of the other candi-
dates like Mitt Rom-
ney, said Tanya
Franklin, a 54-year-
old airline reserva-
tionist, who says
shell probably vote
for Santorum in her
states March 3 cau-
cuses.
The former Pennsylvania sen-
ator has surged to a virtual tie
with Romney in nationwide poll-
ing following his surprising
sweep in Colorado, Minnesota
and Missouri last week. But, as
Franklin suggests, his popularity
may have less to do with who he
is than who he isnt. Santorum is
not Romney. And with Newt
Gingrichs recent decline, thats
enough for some conservatives
at least for now.
Santorum had 30 percent sup-
port to 28 percent for Romney in
a national poll released this
week by the Pew Research Cen-
ter. But the same poll said 31
percent of all adults had never
heard of or couldnt rate him.
Thats a significantly higher
number than for Romney, Gin-
grich, or Ron Paul. Even among
Republicans, one in five told
Pew they didnt know enough
about Santorum to rate him.
Romney and others are now
working to make sure that
changes.
The longtime front-runner for
the nomination, Romney has de-
ployed surrogates such as a for-
mer Santorum Senate colleague,
Jim Talent of Missouri, to attack
Santorums support for earmarks
in Congress. The conservative
Club for Growth has been equal-
ly critical. And Romney
has been aggressive on
the campaign trail, sug-
gesting in recent days
that Santorum and
Gingrich represent the
kind of overspending
Washington insiders
the tea party abhors.
At the same time,
left-leaning groups
such as the Center For
American Progress and
Emilys List are going
after Santorums com-
ments on women. A
staunch social conservative, San-
torum has been critical of wom-
en serving in combat and some-
times in the workplace.
Sadly the propaganda cam-
paign launched in the 1960s has
taken root, reads a passage in
Santorums book. The radical
feminists succeeded in under-
mining the traditional family
and convincing women that pro-
fessional accomplishments are
the key to happiness.
These things that Rick Santo-
rum is attacking are broadly sup-
ported by women and American
families, said Tara McGuinness
of the Center for American Pro-
gress. It isnt 1952. Most Amer-
ican families have two working
parents.

was questioned about the as-

sources.
The student was inter-
viewed when he walked into
police headquarters after the
assault. He was later released.
Since the assault, students
entering GAR are being
screened with hand-held met-
al-detecting wands.
Police had roped off the im-
mediate area where the assault
took place, taking pictures and
seizing a red knit hat. The ma-
chete was found outside that

Students at GAR said last
week rival tensions between
African-Americans and Do-

side the high school minutes
after dismissal.
To build awareness of the
dangers of gangs inschools and
the community, U.S. Rep. Lou
Barletta, R-Hazleton, and state
Sen. John Yudichak, D-Ply-

The event, which is free and
open to the public, will be at 6
p.m. Feb. 23, inthe Burke Audi-
torium in the McGowan

attended a similar program
held in June at Penn State Ha-
zleton.
Nationally known gang ex-
pert D. Darell Dones, a super-
visory special agent of the Be-

FBI, will be the featured pre-
senter.
Taking part will be Brian La-
van, director of security for

Education is one of the
strongest weapons we have in
the fight against the spread of
gangs and drugs in our

frail. It also could hurt ordinary
Iranians and undercut the repu-
tation of SWIFT, a banking hub
used by virtually every nation
and corporation around the
world. The organizations full
name is the Society for World-
wide Interbank Financial Tele-
communications.
In the financial world, the
UnitedStates cant order SWIFT
to kick Iran out. But it has lev-
erage in that it can punish the
Brussels-based organizations
board of directors. Talks are fo-
cused now on having Europe
make the first move.
Short of total expulsion,
Washington and representatives
of several European nations are
in talks over ways to restrict
Irans use of the banking consor-
tium to collect oil profits.
The Obama administration is
divided over whether the possi-
ble gain is worth the risk in try-
ing to threaten SWIFTinto kick-
ing out a member country, in
part because of concern that it
would set back the global finan-
cial recovery. Iran remains a
global financial player despite
years of banking sanctions, and
blocking it from using the re-
spected transfer system would
be a black mark like no other.
More than 40 Iranian banks
and institutions use SWIFT to
process financial transactions,
and losing access to that flow of
international funds could badly
damage the Islamic republics
economy.
Lawyers for SWIFT are hold-
ing meetings in Washington.
People familiar with the talks
say a compromise is possible in
which SWIFTwould voluntarily
bar or restrict Iranian transfers.
But if SWIFTfails to act on its
own, the U.S. expects Europe to
require it to terminate services
for Iranian banks, one Obama
administration official said.
Lawyers familiar with
SWIFTs operations saidit could
bar processing actions with any
Iranianpartyor thirdparties rep-
resenting Iran, though that
would open the consortium to
complaints of favoritismor polit-
ical influence. It could permit
the processing but quarantine
Iranian transactions, or require
warnings to those doing busi-
ness with Iran.

The victory was the ninth in10

hopes for a second-half title in-
tact. The Comets need to defeat
Coughlin on Friday and have Ha-

special playoff game next week.
Dallas, whichwonthe Division

The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
Penguins have a dilemma with
the Norfolk Admirals.
In six meetings this season,
Norfolks rookie star Cory Co-
nacher has torched the Penguins
for eight goals.
Common sense dictates that
the Penguins need to be aware
whenever Conacher steps on the
ice.
But at the same time, Admirals
forward Trevor Smith has regis-
tered 10 assists in six games
against Wilkes-Barre/Scranton,
which leads to the question: who
do the Penguins focus on when
they host Norfolk tonight at 7:05
p.m.? The player scoring all the
goals or the one setting himup?
Both, said head coach John
Hynes. Were aware of the suc-
cess they had against us.
So how do the Penguins shut
down two players that have com-
binedfor nine goals and20points
in six games against them?
Get physical.
Thats what the Penguins did
the last time they facedthe Admi-
rals Jan. 10 in Norfolk, and they
won 3-2 in a game that featured
four fights.
The victory came after the Ad-
mirals scored five goals in each of
the four previous meetings, all re-
sulting in Penguin losses. Just as
important, in the Jan. 10 contest
the Penguins were able to keep
both Conacher and Smith off the
scoresheet.
The key, according to defense-
manAlexGrant, wasamorephys-
ical effort fromthe Penguins.
That means getting in the op-
ponents face after whistles and
keeping your stick on their blade
whenever they get the puck.
Get them frustrated and off
their game, Grant said.

For Wyoming Area, Louis
WILKESBARRE Holding
just a one-point lead with a
little less than six minutes to
play, Hazleton Area used a big
scoring run to put Holy Re-
deemer away for a 58-46 win on
the road.
The victory guaranteed the
Cougars no worse than a share
of the WVC Division I second-
half championship.
With the win Hazleton Area
(17-3, 5-0) secures a spot in
District 2 Class 3A playoffs no
matter what happens when it
travels to Wyoming Valley West
on Friday night. Holy Redeem-
er (9-11, 3-2), sitting in third in
Division II, is in as well and
will host Berwick, also on Fri-
day night.
Our motto since we won the
first half championship has
been just to keep taking it one
game at a time, said Hazleton
head coach Mike Joseph. We
did a good job tonight, they
had a good strategy against us,
but, we just kept getting after it
until the end.
The Cougars resiliency was
never more evident throughout
the game then it was during a
three minute stretch midway
through the fourth quarter.
After a three-pointer from
Mike DeRemer brought the
Royals within a point, Hazleton
rattled off a 13-2 run, highlight-
ed by a deep three-pointer from
Sal Biasi and a no-look, touch
pass for a layup from Travis
Buckner at the high post to
Frank Vito cutting along the
baseline. Vito scored 11 of his
game-high 18 points in the final
quarter, much of it coming
during Hazletons decisive run.
He does a lot of nice things
for us. Tonight, he found some
holes in Redeemers zone, got
to the baseline for some layups,
got to the line and made it
count, said Joseph of Vito. He
stepped up really big offensive-
ly.
What offense the Royals
could manage late in the game
came from Shachael Wallaces
trips to the free-throw line. The
sophomore, who finished with
11 points, connected on seven
of his eight attempts, equaling
the amount of points scored by
the rest of his teammates.
The shots just didnt fall for
us in the fourth quarter, said
Redeemer head coach Mark
Belenski. Thats a very good
Hazleton team and we were
there with them most of the
time. I think we played a good
game tonight. We just missed
too many open shots late in the
game.
Redeemer scrapped to keep
the game close throughout and
midway through the third quar-
ter looked like it had found a
hole in Hazletons defense with
the inside presence of Christian
Choman.
The burly forward netted
eight of his team-leading 16
points in the quarter. Choman
also finished with nine re-
bounds and two blocked shots,
along the way altering a hand-
ful of attempted drives to the
basket from Hazletons guards.
He played a good game for
them, said Joseph of Choman.
His size gave us a lot of trou-
ble and it took us a while to get
a handle on his size and
strength in the paint.
Biasi helped quell Redeem-
ers scoring in the third with a
pair of threes and a set of free
throws, while layups from
Adam Hauze and Travis Buckn-
er kept Hazleton in front. Biasi
finished with 14 for the Cou-
gars while Bucker chipped in
Vullo had eight points.

For The Times Leader
Brady Gallagher and John Faz-
zini. Roberts capped the first
quarter with another three for
a 21-8 lead.
Fazzini and his brother
Chris were the main focus of
the triangle-and-two defense.
Roberts shooting along with
eight Dallas turnovers thwart-
ed the strategy.
We came out and were real-
ly shooting the ball at a high
percentage and getting a lot of
good looks, John Fazzini said.
Against Berwick we came out
and shot well, and tonight was
the same deal. They were in a
triangle-and-two and we were
able to move the ball and get
the good shots we needed.
Steve stepped up really big.
Crestwood shot 11-of-19 (58
percent) in the first half in
building a 35-15 advantage at
the break. That included a 7-
of-13 effort from three-point
land.
Dallas made a minor dent in
the deficit in the third as Bob
Saba canned a couple three-
pointers. The Mountaineers
crept within 42-28 with two
minutes left in the period, but
Gallagher drove to the hoop
for a drive and John Fazzini
dropped in a three to conclude
the period. It also concluded
Dallas mild rally attempt.
We worked the last couple
days on the triangle-and-two,
so I think our kids were pretty
prepared for it, Crestwood
coach Mark Atherton said. It
didnt surprise us. The kids did
well and shot the ball well.
Mike Judge scored 14 points
to lead a quartet of Comets in
double figures. Roberts had13,
John Fazzini 12 and Gallagher
11. Chris Ostrum paced Dallas

PLYMOUTH Returning its
entire squad from a year ago,
the Wyoming Valley West boys
swimming and diving team was
expected to be a slight favorite
to win the Wyoming Valley
Conference Southern Division.
Not many expected not
even coach Frank Tribendis
the Spartans to swim over the
competition so quickly.
In a battle of unbeatens,
Wyoming Valley West cruised to
a 126-59 victory over Hazleton
Area Tuesday to secure the boys
divisional championship.
I always say the athletes win
meets; coaches lose them, said
Tribendis. All the credit goes to
them.
Hazleton Areas girls squad
secured a second-place finish
behind division champion Holy
Redeemer with a 97-83 win over
the Spartans.
In boys diving, Wyoming
Valley West senior Ibrahim
Ismail set a personal best with a
second-place score of 302.7 his
first dive over the 300 mark.
Collin Vest won the diving with
a 348.15 score.
By far, it is Ibrahims best,
Spartans diving coach Rob Ja-
cobs said. Its what his goal was
to break the 300. The kid is an
athlete. The entire year he
worked and worked and worked.
And Im very happy for him in
his very last meet.
Only a handful of divers in
the state get over 300.
The Spartans Ed Zawatski
took first in the 50 free and the
100 free, also recording wins in
the 200 medley and 400 free
relays. Alex Himlin won the 100
back in a minute flat.
None of the big guns had
personal bests, Tribendis said.
Our depth and our young kids
had a lot of good swims.
Theyve been stepping up all
year.
On the girls side, the Cougars
avenged a demoralizing 1.5-
point loss to the Spartans on the
final lap of last years District 2
swimming and diving cham-
pionships. Wyoming Valley West
came from behind down the
stretch to narrowly win the 400
free relay, giving them the dis-
trict title.
I think they want to over-
come that bitter taste of that
1.5-point loss last year, Hazle-
ton Area coach Michele Yaku-
bowski said.
After falling to the Royals two
weeks ago, Yakubowski said her
team received a moral boost
with Tuesdays win.
They wanted it pretty badly.
Its kind of not even in question.
In their minds, they knew they
were going to come here and do
whatever it takes to win.
Katelynn Pleban and Hailey
Kendall took the top two spots,
respectively, in the 100 breast
that boosted the Cougars to a
victory. Pleban, a freshman,
took the top spot with a time of
1:17.44.
Katelynn Pleban did really
well in the breaststroke for us
today, Yakubowski said. That
was huge. And Kendall just
came off the flu and picked it up
for us.
With the conference season
completed, both boys and girls
teams will vie for a District 2
Class 3A championship in the
coming weeks at the Wyoming
Valley Catholic Youth Center.
The diving takes place Feb.
24-25, and the swimming con-
tinues March 2-3.

Ismail, Spartans at their best
By JAY MONAHAN
For The Times Leader
year tenure.
Doing much of the damage for
Misericordia was junior forward
Steve Artzerounian, who gave the
Monarchs problems all night in
the paint, finishing with a game-
high22points on9-of-11shooting.
Hes given us consistency,
somebody that we can go to in
crunch time and hes not a black
hole, Woodruff said. We can
throw it in there and if theres a
better shot somewhereelseonthe
court, he can still make the pass.
He makes us a better team, no
question. Well continue to focus
on getting him the ball.
Artzerounian and fellow for-
ward Ethan Eichhorst (12 points,
eight rebounds, eight assists)
helped make up for a rough night
from the perimeter as the Cou-
gars were just 2-of-21 from long
distance.
I thought their inside players
played extremely well, Kings
coach J.P. Andrejko said. I
thought theydidanicejobgetting
position and scoring down in the
paint.
That was the first part of it,
and then in the second half we
shot 30 percent (9-of-30) fromthe
floor. The thing is, I think we had
some good looks, some good op-
portunities. Youholdateamto60,
you have a good opportunity to
win, but youve got to make a few
shots along the way.
Kings (9-15, 4-9) managed to
close the first half on an 8-0 run
and even took a 28-27 lead into
the locker room when freshman
forward Keyton Winder knocked
down an open three just before
the buzzer.
Two quick buckets to start the
second half put the Monarchs up
by five andthe teams tradedbuck-
ets and wound up tied at 48-48
with 7:05 left to play.
But Artzerounian came
through with eight points down
the stretch as the Cougars fin-
ished on a 12-5 run to earn a sea-
son sweep of the Monarchs.
Kings connected on just one field
goal in those final seven minutes.

The District
2 Duals tour-
naments con-
cluded 11 days
ago with the
Wyoming Val-
ley Conference
teams being
shut out from championships.
There have been few compet-
itive meets since that event
concluded and has left wres-
tling fans in withdrawal search-
ing for tournaments or exciting
duals to attend.
Even though were still more
than a week away from the
individual district tournaments,
have no fear, there is plenty to
plan your schedule around in
the next few days.
Starting tonight, WVC divi-
sion champs will go at it when
Division I co-champ Wyoming
Valley West hosts Division II
titlist Lake-Lehman. And dont
forget about the Wilkes-Barre
rivalry when Meyers travels to
Division I co-champion Cough-
lin.
Use those duals as an appe-
tizer for this weekend, because
thats when the action really
heats up.
Friday night, you can head
over to Wilkes Universitys
Marts Center for the rivalry
match between Kings and
Wilkes. Wilkes is nationally-
ranked, with local wrestlers on
the team and the Monarchs
have managed to put together a
District 2 All-Star team with
names like Mike Reilly (Crest-
wood), Shane Stark (Lake-
Lehman) and Aaron Perez (Dal-
las) among others.
After the Division III colle-
giate meet leaves you wanting
more, Saturday has a local and
statewide flavor.
Catch a glimpse of the future
at the Lake-Lehman Invitation-
al, an equivalent of the now-
defunct District 2 Junior High
meet, being held at Lake-Leh-
man.
If interested in seeing district
competition on the varsity
level, take I-81 North to Scran-
ton to watch the Lackawanna
League Tournament at Scran-
ton High School. For more
intense competition, head west
to watch possible Class 2A
Northeast Regional opponents
at one of the four District 2
Sectionals at Athens (north),
Hughesville (east), Mifflinburg
(south) or Montoursville (west)
high schools.
Or feel free to head down the
Pennsylvania Turnpike to watch
Wyoming Seminary try to win
its sixth straight PA Prep
Championship at Episcopal
Academy in Newtown Square,
outside of Philadelphia. Wrap
up your weekend on Sunday,
with a relaxing event, the Dis-
trict 2 JV Tournament at GAR.
So while the WVC may not
have a full slate the next nine
days leading up to the district
tournaments at Lake-Lehman
(Class 2A) and Hazleton Area
(3A), there are many options
for the casual fan to choose
from to feed the wrestling urge.
STATE DUALS RECAP
The PIAA Team Champion-
ships concluded last week with
a few notable items occurring.
In District 2, Delaware Valley
went 2-2 in the event to be-
come the first Class 3A team
from the district to win twice
in the tournament and finish in
the top eight in the state. In
2006, West Scranton finished
2-2 in the 2A tourney and is the
only 2A team to do that.
On a statewide level, Central
Dauphins state-record of 95
straight dual wins ended in the
Class 3A semifinals with a loss
to Canon-McMillan, 28-25. CD
started a new streak winning
its two consolations to take
third, while CM went on to win
the event, stomping McDowell
by 15 points in the finals.
SCHOLARSHIP
APPLICATIONS
A scholarship was established
last year in honor of James M.
Desiderio, a former Meyers
wrestler, coach, official and
funeral director. The Luzerne
Foundation is now accepting

KINGSTON Wyoming
Seminary coach Scott Green
has made it clear that he would
like for his team to be more
familiar locally.
Hes sticking to his word.
The second-year coach start-
ed in the summer when he
joined forces with Pittston Area
for the Shamrock 570 Wrestling
Club.
This season, he has contin-
ued to work in the area as the
Blue Knights schedule consist-
ed of a home meet and wres-
tled at Wyoming Valley West.
They have also hosted wres-
tlers from around the area once
a week to help prepare them for
the postseason.
On Tuesday, the District 2
Class 3A champions, Delaware
Valley, traveled nearly 80 miles
to the Carpenter Athletic Com-
plex for a scrimmage with
Wyoming Seminary, the eighth-
ranked team in the country
according to The Open Mat.
Joining the Warriors and Blue
Knights were Pittston Areas
Jamie Scarantino and Tyler
Lutecki. Crestwoods Matt
Hammerstone and Kyle Han-
kinson have also made the trip.
The Comets and Patriots have
scrimmaged with Seminary at
other times throughout the
season.
Ultimately a stronger valley,
a stronger District 2 benefits us
because we wont have to travel
so far to wrestle competitive
teams in duals, Green said.
Its having everybody benefit
from good training partners,
good wrestling in general.
DelVal coach Lou DeLauro
wrestled in New York for Green
on national teams and the two
remained in contact.
The workouts have apparent-
ly been paying off for the War-
riors as they are coming off an
appearance in the PIAA Duals
Championships where they
became the first Class 3A team
from District 2 to put up a 2-2
record in the event. Now, they
are prepping for a run at a
District 2 team trophy in the
individual tournament and
hoping to register several dis-
trict champs along the way.
One of the champion hope-
fuls is C.J. Palmer, who is look-
ing for his fourth district title.
On Tuesday, the senior was
rolling around with Seminarys
Dominic Malone, who will
attend Northwestern University
and is a three-time Pennsylva-
nia State Prep champion and is
reigning National Prep cham-
pion at 119.
Malone wrestled a PIAA
qualifier in Wyoming Valley
Wests Kyle Krasavage earlier
this season and won via tech
fall. When he was in the same
tournament with Palmer, they
were at different weight class-
es, but both won titles. So
having a workout partner like
Palmer, another state qualifier,
is a bonus.
Its cool because hes getting
ready for states and Im getting
ready for nationals and its just
kind of two guys helping each
other out that are from the
area, Malone said. Its nice
that (other teams) come in and
we really appreciate it. Coach
Green really works hard to get
guys like this to come in.
The Blue Knights will partici-
pate in the states prep cham-
pionships Saturday at Episco-
pal Academy in Newtown
Square before concluding their
season in the National Prep
Championships from Feb. 23-25
at Lehigh University.

DALLAS As it was three
weeks ago against Kings, Miser-
icordiahit adrought. Facingasuf-
focating defense, the Cougars
were held scoreless for five min-
utes as time ticked away in the
second half.
But on senior night, the upper-
classmen came through for the
Cougars in a 68-56 win over
Kings on Tuesday at the Ander-
son Center.
The Lady Monarchs had shut
down the Cougars late in their
first meeting en route to a 51-44
victory. The script changed on
Tuesday.
Down six with just over five
minutes to play, Misericordia
closed the game on a 22-4 run,
handingthe Lady Monarchs their
first conference loss of the sea-
son.
I think we had a little more
confidence in ourselves this time
around, Misericordia interim
coach Dave Martin said. I think
our confidence has been growing
over the last couple of weeks and
were starting to believe we can
be a pretty good team. And thats
half the battle.
For their efforts, the Cougars
(15-9, 10-3) were rewarded by
clinching the No. 2 seed in next
weeks FreedomConference tour-
nament, hosting either DeSales
or Eastern on Feb. 22. DeSales
can tie Misericordia in the stand-
ings, but the Cougars clinched
the tiebreaker by virtue of being
the only team to beat the first-
place Lady Monarchs.
Kings (20-4, 12-1), which had
its 13-game winning streak
snapped, will be the top seed, po-
tentially setting up a rubber
match between the two local ri-
vals for the conference champion-
ship.
To be honest, I just think they
went to the foul line way too
many times, Kings coach Brian
Donoghue said. Simple as that.
Theyshot two-and-a-half times as
many free throws as we did, and
we lead the conference in free
throw attempts.
We just need to play with
more poise. Weve been in a lot of
those games where were up six
with five minutes to go and we
close it out pretty good. But we
had some things that were out of
our control occur and we didnt
handle them real well.
Misericordia finishedthe game
20-for-25 from the stripe. Kings
was 8-of-11.
The Cougars were able togrind
out a 46-41 lead midway through
the half before Celia Rader an-
swered immediately with a three
to spark an 11-0 run that put
Kings in front.
Freshman Marissa Manning
chipped in two key blocks during
a stretch where the Lady Mon-
archs blanked the Cougars for
five minutes. Paige CarlinandSa-
mantha Simcox both knocked
downthrees andKings led52-46.
But seniors Christine Marks
(17 points, 13 rebounds) and
Jesse Robinson (12 points, eight
rebounds) each hit a pair of free
throws and Robinson, the reign-
ing conference player of the
week, hit two critical buckets to
put the Cougars ahead for good.
Juniors Hannah Seely (17
points) and Tyann McDaniel (11
points) kept the run going and
put the game out of reach.
Paige Carlin led the Lady Mon-
archs with 15 points. Katlin Mi-
chaels added11withsevenassists
while Samantha Simcox finished
with nine points and seven
boards.
Were a tight-knit group and
its been a lot of fun, Martin said.
Weve competed hard, weve bat-
tled and we gutted it out tonight.

Wejust havetomakeit harder
on them, and it has to be the
whole line, he said. Theyve
donesomedamagetous andyou
have to try to get in their head.
Take themaway fromtheir com-
fort zone.
And keep them out of the of-
fensive zone, added center Ben
Street. His approach to shutting
down Conacher and Smith is
simple: keep the play in the Nor-
folk end as much as possible.
Having to play defense, shot
block and recover pucks, thats
not what they want to be doing.
Their strength is to play offense
and put points on the board.
When they have to play defense,
you take that away, Street said.
Grant addedthat theapproach
has to be applied to all of Nor-
folks forwards, not just Conach-
er and Smith. It makes sense,
considering the Admirals are the
second-highest scoring team in
the AHL behind Hershey, and
they trail the Penguins by two
points for the lead in the East Di-
vision.
Theyre a very good team
from their first line to the fourth
line, Grant said. Obviously you
want to key in on Conacher and
Smith, but youcant let the other
guys feel like theyre getting
more time and space, either.
DESPRES BACK
Rookie defenseman Simon
Despres was reassigned by Pitts-
burgh on Monday and practiced
with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on
Tuesday. Despres hasnt played
since early January due to a knee
injury, and Hynes said he is con-
sidered day-to-day and unlikely
to play tonight.
Hell possibly be ready by the
weekend, Hynes said. Hes get-
tingbacktodoingthings at game
speed.
In 14 games with Pittsburgh,
Despres posted a goal and three
assists and was a plus-4. Despite
missingextendedtimeduetothe
injury, Despres said he felt good
after Tuesdays practice. The last
step in his recovery, he said, is
gettingbackintogameshapeand
working for a return trip to the
NHL.
It was a great experience (in
Pittsburgh). I got topracticewith
the best player in the world, Sid-
ney Crosby, for two weeks. I got
to learn fromhim, Jordan Staal,
Despressaid. I wasaroundthem

DETROIT The Detroit Red
Wings won an NHL-record 21st
straight home game, beating the
Dallas Stars 3-1 on Tuesday
night.
Henrik Zetterberg and Brad
Stuart scored midway through
the first period for the Red
Wings, who broke the mark of
20 set by the Boston Bruins
during the 1929-30 season, and
matched by the Philadelphia
Flyers in 1976.
Fans at Joe Louis Arena gave
the team a standing ovation in
the final minute and were chant-
ing: 21! 21! After the game, the
Red Wings raised their sticks to
acknowledge the cheering fans.
In the NHLs seven seasons
with a shootout to eliminate tie
games, Boston won 14 straight
at home during the 2008-09
season. That was the longest
streak until Detroits current run
of dominance in the Motor City.
Rangers 3, Bruins 0
BOSTON Henrik Lundq-
vist made 42 saves for his NHL-
leading seventh shutout of the
season, and the New York Rang-
ers beat the Boston Bruins to
widen the gap between the top
two teams in the Eastern Con-
ference.
The Rangers won their fourth
straight game and opened a
nine-point lead over Boston in
the East.
Ryan Callahan scored for the
sixth time in four games, and
Ryan McDonagh and Artem
Anisimov also had goals for the
Rangers, who were outshot
42-20. It was Lundqvists 42nd
career shutout.
Devils 4, Sabres 1
BUFFALO, N.Y. Ilya Ko-
valchuk had three goals and an
assist, and Martin Brodeur
stopped 29 shots in leading the
New Jersey Devils to a win over
the Buffalo Sabres.
Petr Sykora broke a 1-1 tie 1:44
into the third period, and the
Devils extended their road win-
ning streak to five their best
stretch since winning five
straight last February.
The Devils, sixth in the East-
ern Conference, are 6-1-2 in their
past nine games. They are one
point behind division rivals
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
Blue Jackets 2, Blues 1
COLUMBUS, Ohio Derek
Dorsetts third-period goal lifted
the Columbus Blue Jackets over
the St. Louis Blues.
A potential tying goal by St.
Louis with 1.8 seconds left in
regulation was disallowed. A
scrum in the final seconds re-
sulted in a pileup in the crease.
Video replays showed the Blues
David Perron falling on top of a
prone Blue Jackets goalie Steve
Mason, and then shoving the
puck into the net.
Senators 4, Lightning 0
TAMPA, Fla. Jason Spezza
had three goals and an assist,
Craig Anderson made 28 saves,
and the Ottawa Senators beat
the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Spezza made it 2-0 during a
power play at 16:32 of the sec-
ond. The center extended the
lead to 3-0 on an in-close goal
with 7:23 left in the third, and
then completed the hat trick on
an empty-net goal.
Ducks 2, Wild 1
ST. PAUL, Minn. Corey
Perry scored the winning goal at
12:21 of the third period, Jonas
Hiller stopped 17 shots, and the
Anaheim Ducks beat Minnesota,
handing the Wild their fifth
straight loss.
Predators 3,
Blackhawks 2
NASHVILLE, Tenn. Ryan
Ellis scored the go-ahead in the
third period and added an assist
and the Nashville Predators beat
the Chicago Blackhawks.
Ryan Suter and Nick Spaling

win three road games in three
days.
Phoenix last won three on the
road in three days, in1979.
Miami is also the first teamin
42 years to win each of those
three games by at least 10
points, a feat last achieved by
Milwaukee in1970.
And the Heat (23-7) tied the
best start in franchise history,
too.
All that came on a night the
Pacers (17-11) were hoping to
send their own message after a
much needed two-day break.
Instead, David West led the
Pacers with14 points not
nearly enough to avoid a fourth
straight loss.
Spurs 99, Pistons 95
AUBURNHILLS, Mich.
TimDuncan had18 points and
13 rebounds, and the San Anto-
nio Spurs overcame a spirited
Detroit rally to beat the Pistons
for their eighth consecutive
victory.
Detroit trailed by15 in the
fourth quarter but came back to
take the lead behind Ben Wal-
lace, the veteran big man who
set a record by appearing in his
1,055th career game the
most for an undrafted player
since the NBA-ABAmerger.
The Spurs finally took the
lead for good on Tony Parkers
driving layup with1:13 remain-
ing.
Parker also made a floater
with 27.2 seconds to play to
give San Antonio a 95-92 lead,
and Ben Gordon couldnt con-
vert fromthe left corner for the
Pistons.
Thunder111, Jazz 85
OKLAHOMACITYJames
Harden scored 22 points, Kevin
Durant added 21and the Okla-

for their second win against the
Jazz in five days.
In between, NBA-leading
Oklahoma City got three days
off. Utah embarked on its only
back-to-back-to-back set of the
season and finished it with two
straight losses.
The well-rested Thunder
never trailed and led by at least
12 throughout the second half
on their way to an eighth
straight win at the Chesapeake
Energy Arena, extending the
teams longest home winning
streak since moving fromSeat-
tle in 2008.
Russell Westbrook chipped in
16 points for Oklahoma City,
and Serge Ibaka also scored16
to go with10 rebounds and six
blocks.
Al Jefferson led the Jazz with
15 points and rookie Derrick
Favors scored13.

CHICAGOLuol Deng

JoakimNoah added 22 points
and11rebounds. Kyle Korver
scored18, hitting four free
throws in the final 17.6 seconds.
Carlos Boozer scored16, Taj

barely even though Der-

straight game with lower back
spasms.
The victory clinched the
Eastern Conference coaching
spot at the All-Star game for the
Bulls TomThibodeau.
DeMarcus Cousins led Sacra-

MEMPHIS, Tenn. Mike
Conley scored 21points, and
Rudy Gay added 20 points and

Conley scored seven points in
the final 2:26 after the Rockets
had trimmed what had been a
15-point lead in the third quar-
ter to 84-79 on Kyle Lowrys
steal and layup with three min-
utes left.
Conley answered with a
3-pointer following a scramble

MORGANTOWN, W.Va.
West Virginia University an-
nounced Tuesday it has settled a
lawsuit with the Big East for an
unspecified amount, clearing
the way for the conference pow-
er Mountaineers to join the Big
12 in July in time for the fall foot-
ball season.
Athletic Director Oliver Luck
said the terms of the deal were
confidential and WVU wouldnt
release details. But Luck said no
state, taxpayer, tuition or other
academic dollars will be used in
the settlement.
A person familiar with the
agreement said the settlement
totaled $20 million but did not
know how much money would
come from the university and
how much the Big 12 may con-
tribute. The person spoke on
condition of anonymity because
financial terms were not an-
nounced with the agreement.
Luck said the funding will
come only from private sources
and money that athletics raised
independently. WVU has al-
ready paid half of the required $5
million exit fee.
Luck said the new relation-
ship puts WVU among peers
that are also large, public, flag-
ship institutions for their states
and have strong academic and
research programs. Athletically,
its a challenging and competi-
tive group, he said, populated
by schools with tremendous le-
gacies, passionate fan bases.
Its also lucrative: Luck said
WVU should get about $18 mil-
lion to $19 million a year in tele-
vision payouts, about double
what it gets from the Big East.
Payments are being prorated for
the first three years at 50 per-
cent, 67 percent and 87 percent,
he said, reaching 100 percent in
the fourth year.
Its a very healthy television
payout, and its important we
maintain our self-sufficient sta-
tus, Luck said. With this move,
well be in an excellent position
to do so.
A spokesman for the Big 12
didnt immediately comment,
but the conference released its
football schedule about an hour
after the announcement. West
Virginia makes its Big 12 debut
Sept. 29 at home against Baylor.
The Mountaineers and their
explosive offense went 10-3 last
season and finished ranked in
the Top 25. West Virginia capped
off the season with a record-set-
ting 70-33 victory over Clemson
in the Orange Bowl.
Luck didnt rule out the possi-
bility of a non-conference game
against archrival Pitt after the
2012 season but said that both
schools have nine non-confer-
ence games and a matchup
would be difficult to schedule.
Its pretty obvious there will
be no Backyard Brawl in 2012,
he said.
WVU sued the Big East in
Monongalia County Circuit
Court in Morgantown in Novem-
ber, challenging its bylaws in a
bid to join the Big 12 in time for
the 2012 season.
The Big East countersued in
Rhode Island four days later, ar-
guing that WVU had breached
its contract with the conference
and should remain in the Big
East for another two years as re-
quired in the bylaws. In late De-
cember, the judge there denied
WVUs motion to dismiss.
Big East Commissioner John
Marinatto had repeatedly said
West Virginia would not be al-
lowed to leave until the 2014
football season.
But in a statement Tuesday,
Marinatto said the board of di-
rectors voted to terminate
WVUs membership in the con-
ference as of June 30. The board
agreed to the deal because WVU
was willing to drop its lawsuit
and pay an exit fee well in ex-
cess of that required by the by-
laws, he said.
WVU also has agreed to have
the West Virginia court enter a
judgment that declares the Big
Easts bylaws valid and enforce-
able, which Marinatto told The
Associated Press was the most
important thing to his board.
The bylaws are the founda-
tion of how the conference gov-
erns itself, he said. To have the
court in West Virginia acknowl-
edge their validity of enforce-
ability obviously reinforces the
premise that the conference is
viable moving forward, and in a
position to do so.
Continuing to fight West Vir-
ginia would have only made the
lawyers happy, he said.
Boise State, Central Florida,
Houston, Memphis, San Diego
State University, Southern
Methodist University and Navy
have all recently joined the con-
ference.
The future for the Big East
Conference has never been
brighter, he said.
But the Big East still has work
to do to figure out how next sea-
son will play out. Pittsburgh and
Syracuse announced in Septem-
ber they are leaving for the At-
lantic Coast Conference, but
have said they will not challenge
the Big Easts notification rules.
Marinatto said he would not
be open to a conversation with
either school about departing
this year. But giventhe strength
and speed of our expansion ef-
forts, I think our board might be
open to a discussion about
2013.
That leaves the Big East with
seven football teams for 2012
and a hole in the schedule that
could leave its remaining mem-
bers scrambling to find a game
so late unless one of its future
members can be convinced to
join a year early.
Boise State, which is joining
the Big East in football only, has
been approached about leaving
the Mountain West early.
There are challenges on the
table right now, Marinatto said.
... Were looking at various sce-
narios in order to address that.
We have plans in place to deal
with each possibility.
Those possibilities include an
eight-team league next season,
he said.
The urgency of the WVU and
Big East lawsuits and the even-
tual settlement was driven by
football, but the conference re-
alignment affects other West Vir-
ginia sports. The Mountaineers
must find a home for their mens
soccer team because the Big 12
doesnt sponsor the sport.
Teams in rifle, wrestling and
womens gymnastics at West Vir-
ginia compete in other confer-
ences besides the Big East.
Big 12 membership requires
WVU to add a mens sport, but
Luck said he hasnt determined
which it will be or when it will
happen.

INDIANAPOLIS With Indy-
Car still recovering from Dan
Wheldons death, series officials
said Tuesday that double-file res-
tarts will be scrapped at Indiana-
polis, Texas and Fontana and
more changes to improve safety
could be announced before next
months season-opener at St. Pe-
tersburg.
Oh yeah, there will be lots
more to come, IndyCar CEO
Randy Bernard said after the
two-day state of the series sum-
mit wrapped up in Indianapolis.
Bernard didnt provide hints
about what other announce-
ments are pending.
Its all part of a plan to make
courses safer and revamp Indy-
Cars image after Wheldon, a
two-time Indy 500 winner, was
killed in an accident at last years
season-finale in Las Vegas. The
wreck pushed safety issues to
the forefront of racing and gave
the drivers who risk their lives
more latitude in framing com-
plaints.
Plenty of changes have already
been made.
The series is introducing its
first redesigned car in nine years,
a model that is being deemed In-
dyCars safest yet. Driver seats
will be surrounded by three inch-
es of foam in the cockpit, an inch
of foam underneath the seat and
a panel on the right side of the
cockpit to help reduce the force
when hitting outside walls.
Wheldon, who did most of the
early testing, spoke glowingly
about the new safety features.
Series officials are hoping the
addition of rear-wheel pods will
eliminate the wheel-to-wheel
contact that can send cars air-
borne, too.
The 16-race schedule includes
only five oval races, down from
eight of 17 last year, a move many
racers have embraced since
Wheldons crash, though Ber-
nard said that decision was more
about marketability than safety
with the obvious exception of
Las Vegas.
New race director Beaux Bar-
field, who replaces Brian Barn-
hart in race control, made his de-
cision on the restarts after talk-
ing directly with the drivers.
I could look into their eyes
and see very legitimate con-
cerns, he said.
When Bernard brought the
double-file restarts, a popular
NASCAR feature, to the IndyCar
circuit last season, those with
stock car experience such as
three-time defending champ Da-
rio Franchitti and Danica Patrick
balked immediately about the
dangers it would pose.
Bernard responded by in-
structing his drivers, which the
series calls the worlds most ver-
satile, to make it work. After a
dubious start in St. Petersburg,
they did.
Barfield said he made his deci-
sion for two reasons: where the
acceleration point is on the track
and driver complaints.
Its still possible the double-file
restarts could return everywhere
in 2013 after series officials eval-
uate the performance of the new
cars, but at least drivers feel like
theyre getting a say.
Its an ongoing process and
youre not going to fix everything
overnight, 2004 IndyCar champ
Tony Kanaan said when asked
about the new safety measures
Monday night.

OSANGELESU.S. motorists
have seen the national average
for regular gasoline rise above
$3.50 a gallon in just three dif-
ferent years, but it has never happened
this early.
The national average hit $3.523 a gal-
lon, the Energy Department said Mon-
day, up 4.1 cents from a week earlier.
Analysts said the early price shocker is
likely a sign that pain at the pump will
rise to some of the highest levels ever
this year.
This definitely sets the stage, poten-
tially, for much higher prices later this
year, said Brian L. Milne, refined-fuels
editor for Telvent DTN, a commodity in-
formation services firm. Theres a
chance that the U.S. average tops $4 a
gallon by June, with some parts of the
country approaching $5 a gallon.
The average in the Wilkes-Barre area
was $3.61 per gallon, according to AAA
Mid-Atlantic. That was 4 cents higher
than a week earlier and14 percent more
than a year ago.
Even in 2008, the year that average
gasoline prices hit records above $4 na-
tionally and in California during the
summer, the U.S. average didnt climb
above $3.50 until April 21, according to
the Energy Departments weekly survey
of service stations. The $3.50 mark also
was breached last year, but not until
March 6.
This time, the dubious milestone was
hit weeks before prices usually rise be-
cause of refineries typically shutting
down for spring maintenance, and
weeks before the prices rise again when
states switch from less expensive win-
ter blends of gasoline to more compli-
cated and more expensive summer
blends.
California motorists arent likely to
summon much sympathy for drivers in
other states. They are paying an average
of $3.835 for a gallon of regular gas, up
7.7 cents from a week earlier. In the
past, the states average had never
topped the $3.80 mark before March.
And February is usually a month when
prices fall.
There are plenty of reasons for the
highprices, andlots of reasons toexpect
a big price surge in the spring, said Tom
Kloza, chief oil analyst for Oil Price In-
formation Service.
Early February crude oil prices are
higher than theyve ever been on similar
calendar dates through the years, and
the price of crude sets the standard for
gasoline prices, Kloza said.
In addition, several refineries have
been mothballed in recent months, he
said, and some of those refineries rep-
resented the key to a smooth spring
transition from winter-to-spring gaso-
line. The annual change in gasoline for-
mulas is mandatedby pollution-fighting
regulations.
Some cities, including Los Angeles
and New York, already are closing in on
$4 a gallon, said Patrick DeHaan, senior
petroleum analyst for GasBuddy.com, a
website that tracks gasoline prices.
Regular gas was priced at $3.63 per gallon Tuesday at U.S. Gas on Market
Street in Kingston. Prices have topped $3.50 per gallon nationally sooner than
in any previous year.
Gas hikes historic
By RONALD D. WHITE
Los Angeles Times
WASHINGTON Americans
rebounded from a weak holiday
season and stepped up spending
on retail goods in January. The
latest government report on re-
tail sales pointed to a slowly im-
proving economy.
Retail sales rose at a seasonally
adjusted 0.4 percent last month,
the Commerce Department said
Tuesday.
Consumers spent more on
electronics, home and garden
supplies, sporting goods, at de-
partment and general merchan-
dise stores andat restaurants and
bars. Theyalsopaidhigher prices
for gas.
Spending on autos fell in Janu-
ary, the report showed, even
though automakers had previ-
ously reported higher sales last
month. That could mean that
dealers offeredmore discounts to
attract buyers.
The January retail sales figures
were an improvement from De-
cember, which were downwardly
revised to show a flat reading.
And excluding autos, building
materials and gasoline station
sales, core retail spending jump-
ed 0.7 percent.
The retail sales data are better
than they look, but they dont
suggest that consumption
growth is about to set the eco-
nomic recovery alight, Paul
Dales, an economist at Capital
Economics, wrote in a note to cli-
ents.
Higher retail sales have also
prompted companies to increase
the pace in which they restock
their shelves.
Business stockpiles rose 0.4
percent in December, a separate
Commerce report showed.

IPO costs hurt Zynga
Online game maker Zynga Inc. re-
ported a net loss in the last three
months of 2011, weighed by hefty
stock-compensation expenses and
other costs in its first quarter as a pub-
lic company.
Its adjusted earnings and revenue
edged above Wall Streets expectations.
Adjusted earnings were 5 cents per
share. This excludes one-time items
including $510 million in stock com-
pensation expenses triggered by the
IPO.
Revenue rose 59 percent to $311
million.
FAA gets upgrade funds
President Barack Obama has signed
legislation that modernizes the nations
aviation system, speeding up the
switch from radar to an air traffic con-
trol system based on GPS technology.
The legislation faced opposition
from some labor unions because it set
new rules governing union organizing
elections at airlines and railroads.
The law authorizes $63.4 billion for
the FAA over four years, including
about $11 billion toward the air traffic
system and its modernization.
Greece economy shrinks
The Greek economy shrank 7 per-
cent on the year in the fourth quarter,
not adjusting for seasonal effects.
Greeces economy has been in de-
cline since late 2008. Deep spending
cuts and economic reforms, demanded
in return for emergency loans from the
European Union and the International
Monetary Fund, have exacerbated the
recession.

Feb. 21 Feb. 29 March 8 March 14
Since the rst
of October last
year, when the
current snowfall
season began,
nearby Mountain
Top has had 30
inches of snow.
Over in the WNEP
TVbackyard, the
total stands at 15
inches. In all
areas, the totals
are below nor-
mal, but by no
more than 10
inches. Ironically,
the last day in
October last
year still stands
as the most
snow from one
storm so far
this season with
nearly 9 inches.
Can we top that
before the end
of April? Time
will tell, but
indeed its still
possible. A
major East
Coast storm
could form
Sunday and just
miss us to the
south. We may
not be so lucky
next month.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: A storm system will produce showers and thunderstorms over the south-cen-
tral part of the nation. Strong to severe storms will be possible from southeastern Texas to
Mississippi. Showers will be seen north of this storm system and ahead of a cold front from the cen-
tral Plains to eastern Ohio.

ITS A BIT IRONIC
that MY picture
should appear below a
title saying Chefs
Corner. Anyone who
knows me knows I
can barely boil water,
let alone create any of
the wonderful dishes featured in this
column.
What I do like to do is travel (prefer-
ably someplace warm) and enjoy good
food. When I return home, I love to
share my adventures with my family. If
Ive had a dinner that seemed most
memorable, I describe it to my brother
with hope he can re-create it for me.
Thats how this dish came to be. I
love a traditional surf and turf. When I
had this entre of a veal chop with a
colossal shrimp, I knew I needed to
have this again.
Lucky for me my brother is John J.
Hudak Jr., executive chef here at Van-
derlyns, and he can create just about
anything. We made a deal that if he
made the dish for me, I would write
the article and have my picture taken.
But the recipe and instructions are all
his, so be assured that if you try this at
home, it will be wonderful.
Note: The colossal shrimp called
for would be so large that four to six of
them equal one pound, and to French
the veal rib chops means to trim the
fat.
If you are like me and prefer some-
one else to do the cooking, we will be
featuring this at Vanderlyns Restaurant
this weekend.
For reservations or additional fea-
tures call Vanderlyns at 283-6260. Our
website is www.vanderlyns.com.

This surf-and-turf dish came from the
kitchen of Vanderlyns Restaurant in
Kingston.
It may look like a doughnut. It may
be filled or glazed like a doughnut. It
may even be cooked like a doughnut.
But dont call it a doughnut.
Its a beignet. And its one of New
Orleans two iconic sweets (the other
being the party-loving king cake).
With Mardi Gras approaching, its a
perfect time to get to know beignets.
Truth is, beignets are a form of
doughnut or fried dough. They orig-
inated in France, where the term is
used to describe a wide variety of fried
treats that are filled with fruit or jam.
In New Orleans, they traditionally are
served with a cup of coffee and chicory
au lait.
To celebrate Mardi Gras, were of-
fering our take on the beignet, a pra-
line beignet with cafe au lait icing.
And of course, you also could add the
traditional showering of powdered
sugar.
PRALINE BEIGNETS WITH CAFE

AU LAIT ICING
Start to finish: 2 hours (30 minutes
active)
Servings: 24
For the beignets:
2 cups milk
1 tablespoon instant yeast
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
3 1/2 to 4 cups bread flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans
Canola oil, for frying
For the icing:
3 tablespoons heavy cream

Praline beignets with cafe au lait icing are
a tasty tribute to Mardi Gras and a twist
on the classic fried-dough treat.
Sweet taste of New Orleans found in warm beignets

ardi Gras is the sort of celebration
that can make every city in Amer-
ica want to be New Orleans. Be-
tween the parties and parades and
all those rich foods, whats not to love?
Well, perhaps the after-effects of all those
rich foods.
Thats why I came up with this downsized
version of jambalaya, a classic Cajun dish. I
wanted to take a little of the fat out of Fat
Tuesday. Jambalaya is basically a one-pot
meal in which rice is a main ingredient. The
trouble with rice especially white rice
is that it is loaded with carbs and calories.
To deal with that, I replace the rice in my
jambalaya with a product called Miracle
Rice. This is a variety of shirataki noodle, an
increasingly popular variety of ultra-low
calorie noodle products. Miracle Rice has no
calories, no fat, no carbs and no sodium. It
resembles a large couscous and has an ex-
tremely mild flavor.
This means it takes well to whatever
other flavors you add, making it a perfect
base for a high-flavor dish like jambalaya.
If you cant find Miracle Rice at the gro-
cer, it is available online. You also could
substitute cooked brown rice, though this
will increase the calories and carbs.
The rest of this dish is built around the
basic trinity of Cajun cooking bell pep-
pers, onion and beans. Chili powder pro-
vides the kick. Ive trimmed the fat and
calories from the protein, which usually
consists of ham, sausage or duck. I use
leaner chicken and turkey sausage instead.
The result has just 233 calories and 8
grams of fat per serving. Traditional recipes
have 16 grams of fat and 767 calories.

2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon instant coffee
3 cups powdered sugar
In a small saucepan over low
heat, warm the milk to just luke-
warm. You should still be able to
comfortably leave your finger in
the milk without it feeling too hot.
In the bowl of an electric mixer
fitted with a dough hook, combine
the warmed milk, yeast, brown
sugar, 3 1/2 cups of the flour, baking
soda and salt. Mix on low until the
ingredients come together and
form a smooth, elastic dough. If
needed, add the remaining flour, a
bit at a time, to form a soft, elastic
dough.
Add the pecans and mix just
until completely incorporated.
Cover and allow to rise in a warm
place for 1 hour, or until the dough
doubles in size.
When the dough is ready, line a
baking sheet with parchment paper
and lightly dust with flour. Lightly
dust the counter with flour and
turn the dough out onto it.
Roll the dough out to 1/2 inch
thick. Using a pizza wheel or dough
cutter, cut the dough into 2-inch
squares. Transfer the dough
squares to the prepared baking
sheet and cover with a clean towel.
Let rest for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, fill a large pot with
about 2 inches of canola oil. Heat
the oil over medium-high until it
reaches 375 F. Set a cooling rack
over another sheet pan next to the
stove.
When the oil is hot and the
dough has rested, work in batches
to fry the beignets. Using a slotted
spoon, gently lower 3 to 4 dough
squares into the hot oil and fry,
turning once, until golden brown,
puffed and cooked through, about
3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to the
cooling rack and continue working
in batches until all the beignets are
fried.
In a medium bowl, whisk togeth-
er the cream, water and instant
coffee until the coffee is dissolved.
Add the sugar and stir well until
the mixture is smooth. Add more
water or powdered sugar to adjust
the consistency to be able to driz-
zle as a thick icing. Drizzle the icing
over the warm beignets and enjoy
warm.

4 large boneless, skinless chick-
en thighs, cut into 2-inch chunks
(about 15 ounces)
Salt and ground black pepper
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
3-ounces chicken and turkey
andouille sausage (such as Apple-
gate Farms), cut in to 1-inch slices
1 teaspoon adobo powder
1/4 teaspoon chipotle chili powd-

1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onions
1 cup chopped red bell pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
2/3 cup reduced-sodium chicken
broth
Two 8-ounce packages Miracle
Rice, rinsed
1/2 cup canned black beans,
drained
Season the chicken with salt and
pepper.
In a large nonstick saute pan
over medium-high, heat the oil.
Once the oil has started to smoke,
add the chicken. Brown the chicken
for 2 to 3 minutes, turning the
pieces once. Remove the chicken
from pan and add the sausage,
browning it for about 1 minute,
turning the pieces once.
Add the adobo and chili powder
and cook for 30 seconds. Add the
onions, then reduce heat to medi-
um-low and caramelize them slow-
ly until soft and browned, about 6
to 8 minutes. Add the peppers and
garlic and cook until soft, about
another 2 minutes.
Add the browned chicken, broth,
Miracle Rice and black beans. Bring
to a simmer. Simmer, uncovered,
over medium to low heat for about
5 minutes, or until the chicken is
cooked through and the sauce is
slightly thickened. Season with salt
and pepper and divide between 4
serving bowls.

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I mar-
ried Andy a year
ago. He has three
children from a
prior marriage. He
had a vasectomy
eight years ago, but
promised hed have
it reversed so we could have a child
together. He didnt get around to it,
but Im pregnant anyway.
At first we felt it was our miracle
baby. However, 15 weeks later, Andy
is now sure the baby isnt his.
Things have gotten so bad that I
moved out of our house.
Abby, I have NEVER been unfaith-
ful. A paternity test will prove hes
the father, but that cant be done until
after our baby is born. I have sched-
uled an appointment with a therapist,
but Im not sure I want to reconcile
with him.
Have other readers been in this
situation? What was the outcome?
Pregnant And Alone On the East
Coast
Dear Pregnant And Alone: Yes,
other readers have been in your situ-
ation. In those cases, the vasectomy
had somehow reversed itself without
surgery. (Perhaps it wasnt done prop-
erly in the first place.) Your husband
should consult a urologist and have
his sperm levels checked. It could
provide the proof hes looking for a
lot sooner than your due date.
Because this has been emotionally
devastating for you which is under-
standable talking with a therapist
will be beneficial regardless of what
you decide about your marriage.
Dear Abby: My stepson, David,
lives with my husband and me and
our 9-year-old son. He is 20 and has
been with us since he was a child
because his mother couldnt con-
trol him. He had major problems in
school detentions, failing grades,
etc. And has been nothing but
trouble. David is disrespectful, a
chronic liar and a thief. He has even
threatened to kill us.
Davids mother bought him a car
and his grandmother gives him mon-
ey to buy anything he wants in-
cluding guns. He wont get a drivers
license, refuses to get a job, wont
help around the house and lies to
people, saying we dont feed him. He
has even said his dad beats him.
I want my husband to give David a
choice: Get his license, get a job and
help around the house, or get out, but
my husband refuses. His excuse is,
where will he go?
My husband works out of town oc-
casionally, and when hes gone I have
our 9-year-old sleep with me and I
lock the door because Im afraid of
David. What can we do?
Afraid of My Stepson
Dear Afraid: Because your husband
is unwilling to assert his authority,
theres nothing you can do. Since he
wont get his son the help he needs,
for YOUR sons safety you should
make other living arrangements.
The situation you have described
is dangerous because David has ac-
cess to weapons. Was he ever given
a psychological evaluation? If not,
he should have one as a condition of
continuing to stay with you and his
father. It may provide you with some
sorely needed insight because you
need more help than anyone can offer
in a letter. Without professional help
for him, I predict that your stepson
will wind up in trouble with the law.

To receive a collection of Abbys most memo-
rable and most frequently requested po-
ems and essays, send a business-sized, self-
addressed envelope, plus check or money
order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear
Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box 447, Mount Mor-
ris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). This day
will be touched by unusual hap-
penings, idiosyncratic people and
strange experiences that seem
to come from out of the blue.
You enjoy the shakeup.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It will
be so challenging to establish
consistent practices in your per-
sonal life that you may give up,
deciding instead to move with
the whims of the moment.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There will
always be those Chicken Little
types who, with the slightest
provocation, will run around say-
ing the sky is falling. You know
better. The sky, in fact, will never
fall. If anything, it will rise.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Hit the
pause button for perspective.
When you take a breather, youll
be able to rise above your situ-
ation and give some thought to
the mark youd like to leave on
the people and situations you
encounter.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You realize
youre someone who is just try-
ing to get through a situation
to slog it out with the rest of
the players. Knowing youre not
alone may help you soldier on.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You
may jump toward the sun, but
your point is not to land there.
You just want to get off the
ground. Your reasonable aims
will be successful, and a few of
your unreasonable ones will also
triumph.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There are
more than a billion organisms
in a teaspoon of soil. Everything
you encounter will be changed
by you. The ground is changed
because you walked on it.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You
are tied to your responsibilities.
Youre so convincing, though,
that you just may be able to
charm those who need you
into joining you on a madcap
adventure.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
You may start off the day feeling
at odds with those around you.
But once you adjust your atti-
tude, your day fills up with the
qualities of harmony and union.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Scattered efforts are still efforts.
There is an apparent lack of
predetermination to the days
events, and yet your actions will
be like dandelion seeds, riding on
the wind and taking root wher-
ever they land.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You
like it when the ball is in your
court. It means its your chance
to shine. However, it may feel
today like dozens of balls are
being hit back to you at once.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your
head is filling with fanciful ideas.
There is so much delightful influ-
ence around you, and you are
extraordinarily receptive to the
best of it.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Feb. 15).
Your opportunities multiply as
they are seized. In March, choose
your focus and stay with it.
April turns friendships into love.
Youll earn your money differ-
ently in May. Your personal life
will shift to accommodate new
priorities in the summer. Make
fun important, and see more of
the world in August. Scorpio and
Sagittarius people adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 6, 20,
31, 33 and 14.
