Sewer bills set to rise in stages
WASHINGTON — In a major
gay rights case, the Supreme
Court indicated Wednesday it
could strike down the law that
prevents legally married gay
couples from receiving a range
of federal ben-
efits that go to
other married
people.
Justice An-
thony Ken-
nedy, often the
decisive vote
in close cases,
joined the
four more lib-
eral justices in raising questions
about a provision of the federal
Defense of Marriage Act that is
being challenged at the court.
Kennedy said the law appears
to intrude on the power of states
that have chosen to recognize
same-sex marriages. Other jus-
tices said the law creates what
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
called two classes of marriage,
full and “skim-milk marriage.”
The federal lawaffects a range
of benefits available to married
couples, including tax breaks,
survivor benefits and health in-
surance for spouses of federal
employees.
It still is possible the court
could dismiss the case for proce-
dural reasons, though that pros-
pect seemed less likely than it
did in Tuesday’s argument over
gay marriage in California.
The motivation behind the
1996 federal law, passed by
large majorities in Congress and
signed by President Bill Clinton,
was questioned repeatedly by
Justice Elena Kagan.
She read from a House of Rep-
resentatives report explaining
that the reason for the law was
“to express moral disapproval of
homosexuality.” The quote pro-
duced an audible reaction in the
courtroom.
Paul Clement, representing
the House Republican leader-
ship in defending the law, said
the more relevant question is
whether Congress had “any ra-
tional basis for the statute.” He

Wyoming Valley Sanitary
Authority customers in 36 mu-
nicipalities must pay graduated
rate hikes that eventually will
amount to $60 more per year to
fund a range of capital improve-
ments totaling $17.4 million.
The increase will go up in
stages from $160 per house-
hold annually to $220 in 2017.
Customers will pay $184 an-
nually next year for wastewater
treatment and improvements,
$196 in 2015 and $208 in 2016.
An initial rate hike of $6 —
$3 per quarter — will take ef-
fect in the second half of this
year.
However, residential custom-
ers can avoid this year’s hike if
they pay the full 2013 payment
at the old rate, instead of mak-
ing quarterly payments.
Rate increases for industrial
and commercial properties will
vary based on usage.
The authority, which treats
wastewater from drains and
toilets, last increased annual
rates about $30 six years ago,
said authority Acting Executive
Director James Tomaine.
“We understand the eco-
nomic conditions. We’re trying
to raise the rate gradually so it
doesn’t hit people all at once,”
Tomaine said.
The authority has imposed
spending reductions to cover
rising operating expenses, in-
Scluding higher utility costs,

Luzerne County will receive an addi-
tional $9.7 million in federal funding for
infrastructure projects to help local com-
munities recover from
Tropical Storm Lee and
Hurricane Irene.
U.S. Sens. Bob Casey
and Pat Toomey in a
joint statement and U.S.
Rep. Matt Cartwright
announced the award
from the U.S. Depart-
ment of Housing and
Urban Development
on Wednesday as part
of a total allocation of
$47 million to the areas
throughout the state hit
hardest by the flooding
that followed the storms
in the fall of 2011.
“The recovery process
from Irene and Lee has
been challenging, but
this funding is a positive
development in Penn-
sylvania’s effort to re-
build from the damage,”
Casey, D-Scranton, said.
“As Pennsylvania’s com-
munities work hard to
strengthen their econo-
mies, these resources will help ensure
that the damage from the floods does not
hold back their progress.”
Toomey, R-Zionsville, said flooding
fromthe storms devastated large portions
of Northeastern and Central Pennsylva-
nia, some of which he witnessed himself.
“Considering the substantial toll these
storms took on Pennsylvania families,
homes, schools and businesses, it is good
to see the rebuilding process moving for-
ward and people’s lives returning to nor-
mal.”
The more than $9.7 million Luzerne
County will receive is a supplement to the
$15.7 million the county received in 2012
for long-term disaster recovery, county
Office of Community Development Direc-
tor Andy Reilly said.
That funding was part of $49.2 million
allocated in January 2012 for Pennsylva-
nia counties that had disaster declara-

WASHINGTON—President
Barack Obama pressed for swift
action on a sweeping immigra-
tion bill Wednesday, saying last-
minute obstacles are “resolv-
able” and predicting Congress
could pass historic legislation
by the end of the summer.
In back-to-back interviews
with Spanish-language televi-
sion networks, Obama repeat-
edly voiced confidence in a
bipartisan Senate group that
appears to be on the cusp of
unveiling a draft bill. And he
said that although he is still
prepared to step in with his
own bill if talks break down, he
doesn’t expect that step to be
necessary.
“If we have a bill introduced
at the beginning of next month
as these senators indicate it will
be, then I’m confident that we
can get it done certainly before
the end of the summer,” Obama
told Telemundo.
While overhauling the na-
tion’s patchwork immigration
laws is a top second-term pri-
ority for the president, he has
ceded the negotiations almost
entirely to Congress. He and

Lt. Gov. Cawley sees difference LCCC facilities have made
Officials see tax money at work
NANTICOKE — Walking
through a kitchen in the Lu-
zerne County Community Col-
lege Culinary Arts Institute, Lt.
Gov. Jim Cawley watched stu-
dents baking cakes, preparing
burgers and learning about the
price of select cuts of steak. For
Cawley, the cooking odors were
the smell of success.
Since 2006, about $13.3 mil-
lion in state funding has been
allocated to projects in the city,
much of it for building proj-
ects on the LCCC campus, and
on Wednesday state officials
toured Nanticoke and the col-
lege to see the impact of those
funds.
Cawley said government
must remember the money it
puts out in the form of grants
comes from the taxpayers, and
officials need to be sure that the
money is being spent wisely.
Walking the halls of the college
classroom buildings and seeing
the students benefiting from
those grants was a good experi-
ence for him.
“It’s very clear to me this is
money well spent,” he said.
“Seeing the work being done
here at the community college,
it’s truly inspirational to see so
many people with hope and op-
timism.”
Among the places he toured
were the Health Sciences Build-
ing, which houses the Benco
Dental Clinic, and the Joseph
A. Paglianite Culinary Arts In-
stitute that, in addition to the
full-service bakery and kitchen,
also houses the Kowalski Audi-
torium, a state-of-the-art, high-
definition television studio.
For LCCC President Tom
Leary, the buildings and pro-
grams are proof that state and

PLAINS TWP. — Tim Quinlan
knows that a person’s perception
about the strength of the econo-
my is often tied to his or her own
financial situation, but the truth is
that the national economy is do-
ing even better than it was before
the Great Recession.
Quinlan, an economist with
Wells Fargo Securities, painted
a positive picture before about
130 area business leaders as
the featured speaker during the
2013 Global Economic Outlook
Breakfast pre-
sented by the
Greater Scran-
ton Chamber of
Commerce and
Greater Wilkes-
Barre Chamber
of Business and
Industry on
Wednesday morning at the Wood-
lands Inn & Resort.
“We’re growing. We’re not
growing at our full potential, but
we could be if consumer and busi-
ness confidence were both a little
bit stronger,” Quinlan said.
That lack of confidence is tied
to a lack of clarity coming out of
Congress, he said.
In Pennsylvania, economic
growth and expansion might not
be as easy to see. Pennsylvania’s
8.2 percent unemployment rate is
higher than the national average,
which might explain the sour feel-
ings toward the economy locally.
There are, Quinlan noted, more
people actively looking for work,
signaling more confidence about
potential job prospects here than
in other states.
Meanwhile, the workforce as a
whole is “cranking out more” —
with about 3 million fewer people
on payroll.
So, what’s driving the economy
back to where it needs to be?
It begins with the national
housing market, Quinlan said.
The market traditionally sees
about 1.5 million new homes
needed each year. The housing
bubble created about 1 million
extra homes per year before the
crash. There has been a pent-up
demand for homes in the last few
years, and home prices are appre-
ciating again.
It will take about five years
to reach a new state of stability,
Quinlan predicted, and newhome
construction to erase some of the
millions of jobs still missing from
the workforce.
There is slight growth attrib-
uted to consumer spending at
about 2 percent, as well. “Spend-
ing growth is not going to be what
it was in the last cycle, but it’s still
positive,” Quinlan said.
“Businesses are swimming in
cash. The problem is that they’re
not really spending it, at least not
in a meaningful way,” Quinlan
said, noting that small-business
owners are more concerned with
taxes and regulation than they are
with consumer spending.
The goal, he said, isn’t neces-
sarily to return to pre-recession
numbers as a model for success.
More important, we should look
to return to long-term average
rates of new home construction
and consumer spending and con-
fidence as benchmarks.
“I think, generally, employ-
ment has been growing for four
years, home prices are beginning
to appreciate again,” he said. “If
people aren’t beginning to feel
better about things, they can at
least see the light at the end of
the tunnel.”

State police Trooper Carrie Gula waits for the start of her preliminary hearing before District
Judge Joseph Carmody Wednesday on charges she unlawfully accessed her then-boyfriend’s
cellphone account and filed a false assault report.
Trooper to face charges in court
WEST PITTSTON — State
police Trooper Carrie Gula
will see the inside of a Lu-
zerne County courtroom as a
defendant.
Charged with unlawfully ac-
cessing her then-boyfriend’s
cellphone account and fil-
ing a false report that he as-
saulted her, Gula, 35, of West
Pittston, remained unfazed by
testimony presented during
her preliminary hearing on
Wednesday.
Gula frequently smiled and
whispered to her attorney, Jo-
seph Nocito, during the three-
hour proceeding before Dis-
trict Judge Joseph Carmody.
State police at Wyoming
alleged Gula accessed the
Verizon cellphone account of
Eric Thomas on Aug. 1 and
changed its password. While
stationed at the state police
barracks at Fern Ridge, she
left work early that day and
went to Thomas’ residence
in Exeter, where, she said,
Thomas assaulted her while
she was in uniform.
Trooper Lisa Brogan testi-
fied she found discrepancies
with Gula’s statement, noting
that a mirror and a chair Gu-
las said were broken during
a struggle with Thomas were
not smashed.
Thomas testifiedhe was tak-
ing a shower when he noticed
someone was in his house. He
said he spotted Gula leaving
his house with his cellphone
under her arm. He said she
kicked and shoved him, caus-
ing him to fall over a chair.
Most of the testimony fo-
cused on the number of times
Thomas’ cellphone account
was accessed.
Trooper Mark Mackachi-
nas said the password was
changed at 9:39 a.m. Aug. 1
and he traced that to Gula.
Thomas changed the pass-
word at 7:46 p.m.
Mackachinas said there
were several failed attempts
to access Thomas’ cellphone
account from 7:46 p.m. — the
same time Thomas changed
the password —to 10:09 p.m.,
when the password was reset,
which was traced to Gula’s
cellphone, Mackachinas said.
Nocito said simply logging
onto the account was not
criminal because Gula did not
have intent to harm Thomas.
“Just logging on is not
criminal,” Nocito said. “He is
the only one who has access
to the account. She no lon-
ger had access to the account
because he changed the pass-
word.”
“She had no permission
to change his account,” As-
sistant District Attorney Re-
becca Reimiller said. “She in-
terrupted his service with his
Verizon account.”
Gula remains suspended
without pay from the state
police. She remains free on
$7,500 unsecured bail.
Gula allegedly unlawfully
accessed cellphone account,
filed a false assault report.

WILKES-BARRE — Board
members of Hawkeye Security
Solutions, the nonprofit corpo-
ration overseeing the city’s cam-
era surveillance system, voted
Wednesday to limit the use of an
out-of-town law firm and look
locally for representation.
Board member and City
Councilman Mike Merritt said
Fox Rothschild LLP of Phila-
delphia will not be considered
“for any kind of litigation that
doesn’t lend itself to expertise
in closed circuitry.”
“For everything else we’re
looking to go local,” he said.
The law firm had an area con-
nection in J.J. Murphy, former
city administrator, who was in-
strumental in the creation of the
citywide surveillance system.
Murphy’s brother, former U.S.
Rep. Patrick Murphy, is a part-
ner in the firm.
Fox Rothschild hired J.J. Mur-
phy’s Goals Consulting at a rate
of $300 an hour to work on the
plan to lease the city’s park-
ing assets. He was paid about
$35,000 before the Wilkes-Barre
Parking Authority board capped
the consulting fees and later
scrapped the plan, terminating
Fox Rothschild.
J.J. Murphy left his position
with the city in 2010. He was
hired last year as city manager
for Hobbs, N.M.
At its regularly scheduled
monthly meeting, the Hawkeye
board also held off on paying a
bill fromthe lawfirmfor $3,602.
The board wants an explanation
and not just a dollar amount for
the bill, Merritt said.
Merritt held off on commit-
ting to paying the bill even it’s
itemized. “If it’s warranted,
sure,” he said.

U.S. Rep. Matt Cartwright, D-Moosic, addresses the crowd at
Wednesday’s “Stop the Sequester Rally” in the gymnasium
at Pittston Area High School, Yatesville.
Cartwright leads cries
against sequestration
YATESVILLE — An audi-
ence shouted — “Stop the cuts
now!”— and its members hoist-
ed signs spelling out the same
message during a Wednesday
night demonstration regarding
the federal budget.
U.S. Rep. Matt Cartwright,
D-Moosic, organized the rally to
get laborers to make noise about
the sequester that might cost
the private sector alone 750,000
jobs nationwide.
In the Pittston Area High
School gym, Cartwright and
half a dozen Harrisburg Demo-
crats and labor union leaders
spoke against federal spending
cuts mandated by the Budget
Control Act of 2011. Sequestra-
tion was the act’s unhappy end-
ing that was supposed to urge
both political parties to reach
an agreement to reduce the na-
tion’s debt.
Cartwright said it was
doomed from the start.
“The only way to go forward
was to put sequestration in
place,” Cartwright said from the
podium. “A ticking time bomb.
“The bomb went off,” he said,
“and we’re paying the price here
in Northeastern Pennsylvania
— a 10-year kick in the gut.”
Most of those attending wore
union jackets or carried union
signs. Cartwright, a freshman
representative, said the impend-
ing April 6 furlough to take
place at Tobyhanna Army Depot
this year inspired him to hold
the rally. He said maybe, if the
people make enough noise, they
might get some attention.
Tony Ferreira, president of
the American Federation of
Government Employees and
retired depot employee, said
that when a prison guard was
killed last month in the Canaan
federal prison, Wayne County, it
got the government rethinking
how it should fund prisons and
improve guard staffing.
Ferreira questioned why it
should come to death before the
government learns that budget
cuts are a poor solution. “We’re
not saying that there’s no fat,”
Ferreira said. “Cut out the fat …
Just don’t cut everything across
the top.”
Ferreira, 55, retired March
3, along with his friend and
colleague Joe Iglio, when they
heard about the pending fur-
lough. They said they left hop-
ing they could save two jobs for
younger employees.
Although he could have re-
tired at 50, said Ferreira, he had
intended to continue working at
the depot.
State Sen. John Yudichak,
D-Plymouth Township, did
not discredit the national debt,
which according to a report
from the website, www.trea-
surydirect.gov, stands at about
$16.6 trillion. Elected officials
in Harrisburg and Washington
must first compromise on their
party-driven ideologies, he said;
then they need to look for mon-
ey in the right places.
Cartwright said there is a
common fallacy that continued
government spending will bury
the country deeper into debt.
With finality, he said that
slashing jobs will not revive the
budget.
“It doesn’t take a Nobel lau-
reate to figure that out,” Cart-
wright said.

WILKES-BARRE — Luzerne Coun-
ty’s Treatment Court is an open door for
those looking to get help and become
productive members of society, county
Judge William Amesbury said Wednes-
day.
Without the treatment court option,
participants would throw away their
lives and create a financial burden for
taxpayers who would have to lodge
them at the county prison, Amesbury
said before 13 people newly graduated
from the programwith criminal charges
expunged from their records.
“Those addicted to alcohol, prescrip-
tion … or controlled substances contin-
ue to suffer day to day,” Amesbury said.
“Addiction is a well-defined medical
problem. (Treatment court provides)
an opportunity to do something posi-
tive … with their life rather than spend
time in jail.”
To be part of the treatment court,
participants must be older than 18 and
have committed only nonviolent crimes
as a result of their addictions.
A team of professionals examines
each case to decide if offenders should
be included in the program and what
treatment should be given to the indi-
vidual. That team follows the person as
he or she advances through the program
with the ultimate goal of graduating.
The program takes about one year to
complete, and those who fail to abide
by its rules are sentenced.
Since the program began in 2006, 119
people have graduated from the pro-
gramand 55 are currently participating.
To date, the program has saved the
county $41,332 per graduate and a total
of $4.4 million in prison costs.
“(Treatment court) has given me a
different picture of life,” said one gradu-
ate. “Now, I have tons of opportunities.”
Due to state lawand the Health Insur-
ance Portability and Accountability Act
regulations, participants of the program
cannot be identified.
Another graduate spoke of agreeing
to participate in treatment court be-
cause he thought it was an easy “get-
out-of-jail-free” card. He didn’t know
how to stay off drugs and thought he
was “pulling the wool over everyone’s

Y starts 2013 campaign
Wilkes-Barre YMCA has begun its
2013 Annual Campaign with a goal of
raising $104,000 to support program-
ming and scholarship funds.
The 2013 campaign is chaired by
YMCA board member Jeff Thomas.
Last year, the campaign provided
200 adults and 183 children with mem-
berships.
Donations allowed for 154 children
to attend YMCA summer camps.
The Childcare, Wellness and Aquat-
ics departments all benefit and would
not be able to provide services without
the generous donations of members of
the community.
Donors can select a department or
program at the Y to direct their dona-

Luzerne County Manager Rob-
ert Lawton has selected the first
permanent home rule division
head under home rule —Archbald
resident Richard M. Cardamone
to oversee budget and financial
services.
The position is instrumental
as the county struggles to con-
tain expenses
and cover man-
dated services
while repaying
more than $430
million in out-
standing debt.
In addition to
overseeing fi-
nances in all de-
partments, this
division head
will handle
county property
assessment.
C o u n t y
Council must
confirm division head nomina-
tions under home rule. Council
will question Cardamone and vote
on the confirmation Tuesday.
A certified public accountant
with a degree in business admin-
istration and accounting, Carda-
mone worked as director of the
state budget office’s Bureau of
Commonwealth Accounting from
2005 to 2012.
As bureau director, Cardamone
led a staff of more than 150 em-
ployees and oversaw budgeting,
accounting and reporting for 40
state agencies with a combined
$60 billion in budgeted funds.
In addition to his state govern-
ment experience, Cardamone has
held several private-sector invest-
ment and accounting positions,
most recently as a small-business
owner.
Cardamone owns Padgett Busi-
ness Services, a franchise office
that provides accounting, tax and
payroll services for small busi-
nesses.
The 35-year-old Cardamone
was at Lawton’s office Wednes-
day when Lawton forwarded his
resume and information about
the selection process to County
Council for its review. Cardamone
said the position advertisement
intrigued him because his work
in state government was fulfilling.
WILKES-BARRE — The
parents of a Pittston Area
School District student have
filed a lawsuit in federal
court alleging a teacher bul-
lied their child in September.
The suit, filed by attorney
Cynthia Pollick, identifies
the parents as L.H. and C.H.
on behalf of their child, A.H.,
against the school district
and Superintendent Michael
Garzella.
A teacher, identified as
Kelli Diaz, verbally abused
the couple’s child in Septem-
ber 2012, according to the
suit. The teacher allegedly
directed these comments at
him: “Shut up,” “Do you have
a problem,” “It’s day 13 and I
can’t stand you already,” “I’m
not the only teacher who
can’t stand you,” and “You’re
going to have the worse year
ever.”
Diaz also asked the child if
he had Tourette’s syndrome,
according to the complaint.
The school district and
Garzella should have known
about the teacher’s conduct,
the suit says, due to “run-ins”
in which she acted “inappro-
priately and had prior disci-
plinary issues.”
In October 2012, the suit
says, the child’s parents dis-
closed Diaz’s conduct to the
district and Garzella.
“(Diaz’s) official miscon-
duct is a matter of public
concern since no teacher
should be allowed to speak
to a minor child in the man-
ner (Diaz) did, nor should a
teacher ever have the word
Tourette’s fall from their
mouth when that minor
child does not suffer from
the same,” the suit says.
The suit alleges that after
the district was alerted to Di-
az’s conduct, the district and
Garzella “retaliated” against
the parents and child by
“protecting” Diaz and “forc-
ing” the child to be home
schooled for more than five
months.
The district and Garzella
also “refused to respond to
inquiries about the status of
the alleged investigation into
(Diaz’s) bullying,” failed to
disclose any discipline given
to Diaz and caused “anxiety”
and “emotional distress” to
the parents and child.
The suit alleges negli-
gence in the supervision and
hiring of Diaz and asks that
an injunction be issued, stop-
ping any retaliation against
the parents and their child.
The parents also ask that
their child be permitted to
resume school without Diaz
in his presence and seek
damages against the school
and Garzella, as well as at-

Mother describes abduction try
WILKES-BARRE — The
boy targeted in an attempted
abduction over the weekend
was alone at the time and also
had been involved in a 2007
case, said his mother.
The woman, who asked
not to be identified for fear
the person who grabbed the
boy is still on the loose, spoke
Wednesday to dispel rumors
after talking with her 8-year-
old son. She was uncertain
if the latest case was related
to the previous one that oc-
curred outside her residence
in a different location in the
city.
“I don’t know who this
person is. Being he had on a
mask, it makes it even hard-
er,” she said.
The man in the prior case
pleaded guilty to interference
with custody of children and
resisting arrest and was sen-
tenced in May 2008 to time
served and one year proba-
tion. He did not have contact
with the boy, who was 2 at the
time, but gestured to him to
come near.
The woman who lives in
South Wilkes-Barre said the
boy had gone to play at Min-
er Park with his 12-year-old
brother and 14-year-old cous-
in Saturday. It was a nice day
and she told her older son to
take his little brother to play
on the swings and sliding
board.
The younger son walked
toward Kistler Elementary
School on Old River Road
while the others were on the
adjacent field around 7 p.m.
That’s when, she said, some-
one came up from behind
him, picked the boy up and
told him that he was going to
take him.
“He was trying to put him
on his back. He screamed and
kicked him, and he dropped
him,” the woman said. The
boy fell to the concrete and
scraped his chin.
It was still light out at the
time, but the boy was able to
see only that the person who
grabbed him was white. His
brother and cousin gave chase
on Corlear Street.
“He had on a ski mask,” the
woman said.
The woman said she rushed
to the school after her sister
called to say someone tried
to take her son. The boys
called her sister earlier to say
they were on their way home,
but they did not arrive. The
woman said she and her sis-
ter thought the delay was be-
cause the boys were walking
slowly.
The woman said she thinks
a neighbor called police, who
were on the scene when she
arrived. She has been in con-
tact with them and spoke to a
detective on Tuesday.
The boy has had nightmares
and was kept out of school af-
ter the attempted abduction,
the mother said. “There’s not
one doubt in my mind my son
is not lying,” she said.
The woman said she wants
to attend the next City Coun-
cil meeting on April 11 to
address her concerns about
child safety.
The investigating detective
could not be reached for com-
ment.

WILKES-BARRE — A
woman pinned a police of-
ficer’s arm in her car win-
dow after she chased and
slammed her vehicle into her
ex-husband’s Jeep on South
Hancock Street, according to
charges filed.
Patricia A. Farrell, 40, of
Pickerel Lane, Greentown,
was arraigned late Tuesday
night on charges of assaulting
a law enforcement officer, re-
sisting arrest and driving un-
der the influence. She was re-
leased on $10,000 unsecured
bail.
An officer sustained a back
injury during the incident ear-
ly Monday morning.
According to the criminal
complaint:
John Farrell told police his
ex-wife came to his house and
attempted to force her way
inside. He claimed she threat-
ened to crash into his vehicle,
at which time John Farrell ran
to his Jeep and drove around
the block returning to his
house as two police officers
arrived.
Police said they witnessed
Farrell intentionally crash her
Saab into the Jeep.
Farrell refused commands
to shut off her car. An officer
reached inside the driver’s
side window to turn off the ig-
nition as Farrell rolled up the
window and pinned the offi-
cer’s arm, the complaint says.
Police allege in the com-
plaint Farrell attempted to
drive away with the officer’s
arm pinned in the window.
Police stunned Farrell with
a Taser as another officer
smashed a car window to un-
lock the door.
Farrell continued to at-
tempt to drive away as the
pinned officer was able to
free his arm, according to the
complaint.
Farrell struggled with po-
lice and refused to release her
grip from the steering wheel.
Police stunned Farrell a sec-
ond time before she was hand-
cuffed, the complaint says.
Farrell displayed signs of in-
toxication and was transport-
ed to Geisinger Wyoming Val-
ley Medical Center where she
refused to submit to a blood
test, police said.
Police said Farrell re-
fused to identify herself and
claimed she did not know Pat-
rica Farrell, according to the
complaint.
A preliminary hearing is
scheduled on April 4 before
District Judge Martin Kane.
Court records say Farrell
was released from jail on
March 4 when bail was re-
instated on charges she was
driving a vehicle while under
the influence of marijuana in
Courtdale on Sept. 11, 2011.
She is also facing a charge of
theft in county court for alleg-
edly stealing 60 Vicodin tab-
lets, a video camera and coins
from a residence in Luzerne
on Oct. 17, 2012, according to
court records.

PHOENIX — Documents
released Wednesday detailing
the shooting of former Rep. Ga-
brielle Giffords show how the
gunman had grown increasingly
erratic and delusional in the
months leading up to the ram-
page as he alienated friends and
family and became paranoid
that police were out to get him.
The roughly 2,700 pages in-
cluded witness and survivor ac-
counts from people who helped
save Giffords’
life after she
was shot in
the head out-
side a Tucson
supermarket
in 2011 dur-
ing a meet-
a n d - g r e e t
with constitu-
ents. Six people were killed and
11 others were wounded.
The files also provide the
first glimpse into gunman Jared
Lee Loughner’s family. His par-
ents have said nothing publicly
beyond a brief statement after
the attack, but records show
they were trying to deal with a
son who had grown nearly im-
possible to communicate with.
“I tried to talk to him. But
you can’t. He wouldn’t let you,”
his father, Randy Loughner,
told police. “Lost, lost and just
didn’t want to communicate
with me no more.”
“Sometimes you’d hear him
in his room, like, having conver-
sations,” said his mother, Amy
Loughner. “And sometimes he
would look like he was having
a conversation with someone
right there, be talking to some-
one. I don’t know how to ex-
plain it.”
Randy Loughner said his
24-year-old son had never been
diagnosed with mental illness.
Despite recommendations
from officials at Pima Commu-
nity College, which expelled
Loughner, that he undergo a
mental evaluation, his parents
never followed up.
However, Loughner’s parents
grew worried enough about
their son that they drug tested
him.
The results were negative,
said Amy Loughner, who was
particularly worried that her
son might have been using
methamphetamine.
She said Loughner had told
his parents that he had not
had a drink of alcohol in five
months but that he had tried
marijuana and cocaine in the
past.
The father said his son kept
journals, but they were written
in an indecipherable script.
Several weeks before the
shooting, Loughner visited An-
thony George Kuck, who had
known him since preschool.
Kuck said he was alarmed to
find he had shaved his head and
was armed with a handgun.
“I kicked him out of my
house because he showed me
his gun,” Kuck told police,
adding that Loughner said he
bought it for protection.
“I tried to talk to him about
why it’s not smart to have a
gun,” Kuck said. “He obviously
didn’t listen to me.”
Kuck told police he had
seen Loughner’s mental state
deteriorate over time, starting
with drinking problems in high
school, trouble with authorities
and being kicked out of college,
noting Loughner had gotten
tattoos of bullets and a gun on
his shoulder.

Shooter to plead guilty
L
awyers for Colorado theater shoot-

Wednesday he would plead guilty and
serve the rest of his life in prison to
avoid the death penalty.
The offer comes only days before
the prosecution was set to announce
whether they would seek to have
Holmes put to death for the attack
that killed 12 people and injured 70.
Prosecutors wouldn’t say Wednes-
day whether they’d go along with a
plea deal, and likely will consult with
victims and their families before decid-
ing whether to accept the offer.

Cyberattackhits anti-spamfirm
A record-breaking cyberattack target-
ing an anti-spam watchdog group has
sent ripples of disruption coursing
across the Web, experts said Wednesday.
Spamhaus, a site responsible for
keeping ads for counterfeit Viagra
and bogus weight-loss pills out of the
world’s inboxes, said it had been buf-
feted by the monster denial-of-service
attack since mid-March, apparently
from groups angry at being blacklisted
by the Swiss-British group.
Recent cyberattacks — like the ones
that caused persistent outages at U.S.
banking sites late last year — have
tended to peak at 100 billion bits per
second. But the furious assault on
Spamhaus has shattered the charts,
clocking in at 300 billion bits per sec-
ond, according to San Francisco-based
CloudFlare Inc., which Spamhaus has
enlisted to help it weather the attack.
NEW YORK
Cancer testing advanced
A huge international effort involving
more than 100 institutions and genetic
tests on 200,000 people has uncovered
dozens of signposts in DNA that can
help reveal further a person’s risk for
breast, ovarian or prostate cancer,
scientists reported Wednesday.
It’s the latest mega-collaboration to
learn more about the intricate mecha-
nisms that lead to cancer. And while the
headway seems significant in many ways,
the potential payoff for ordinary people is
mostly this: Someday there might be ge-
netic tests that help identify women with
the most to gain from mammograms, and
men who could benefit most from PSA
tests and prostate biopsies.
And perhaps further in the future
these genetic clues might lead to new
treatments.
WASHINGTON
Comcast wins appeal
The Supreme Court on Wednesday
turned away a class-action lawsuit against
cable provider Comcast Corp., in a
decision that could make it harder to file
those types of lawsuits in federal court.
The high court overturned a lower
court decision to certify as a class
customers who say the company’s
monopoly in parts of the Philadelphia
area allowed it to raise prices unfairly.
Justice Antonin Scalia said in a 5-4
decision the customers need to be
able to show that they can tie a single
theory of how they were harmed to
a specific calculation of damages for
class certification. The Comcast sub-
scribers had a model that would have
shown damages, but it showed $875
million of damages done under four
different theories.

Pa. budget chief:
Pension changes
needed by June
HARRISBURG — Lawmakers
need to reduce taxpayers’ share
of payments into Pennsylvania’s
major state pension funds in the
next few years even if the rest of
Gov. TomCorbett’s pension-over-
haul proposals bog down, the
governor’s top budget adviser
said Wednesday.
Budget Secretary Charles Zog-
by said Corbett’s $28.4 billion
state budget plan for the year
starting July 1 includes $175 mil-
lion in savings from a proposed
short-term reduction in taxpay-
ers’ contributions to the pen-
sions of hundreds of thousands
of state and school employees.
Similar deferrals would avert
sharp increases in the following
two years.
Failure to approve the changes
would require cuts elsewhere in
the budget, he said.
“It’s imperative that we leave
here in June with something on
pension reform that’s going to
deal with the immediate effects
of this coming budget as well as
the next couple of budget years,”
Zogby said at a news briefing
about the governor’s plan.
Corbett’s pension initiative has
yet to be introduced as legisla-
tion nearly two months after he
unveiled it, and the reaction from
legislators has been cool at best.
Yet Zogby and James Schultz,
the governor’s chief counsel,
talked about the package as if it
is not only likely to pass but also
likely to be upheld in the courts.
“There’s an interest all the way
around in having (a) once-and-
done solution,” Zogby said.

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon will
sharply cut the number of unpaid fur-
lough days civilians will be forced to take
over the next several months from 22 to
14, defense officials said Wednesday, re-
ducing the impact of automatic budget
cuts on as many as 700,000 workers.
According to defense officials, De-
fense Secretary Chuck Hagel made the
decision Wednesday, as military service
chiefs and defense leaders continued to
work through the details, trying to pri-
oritize how they will allocate the more
than $10 billion that Congress, in an at-
tempt to take some of the sting out of
the across-the-board budget cuts, shifted
to operations and maintenance accounts.
The officials spoke on condition of ano-
nymity because they were not authorized
to discuss the matter ahead of the public
announcement.
While some of the military services
initially considered eliminating the fur-
loughs altogether, senior leaders argued
that since not all the services could do
that, it would be better to treat all civilians
across the defense department equally.
The military had been faced with some
$43 billion in automatic, across-the-board
cuts that kicked in March 1, but lawmak-
ers passed a massive spending bill last
week that shifted money around in order
to give the Defense Department more
flexibility in how it found the savings.
Initially, civilians would have been re-
quired to take one day a week off with-
out pay for 22 weeks, through the end of
the fiscal year on Sept. 30 — a 20 per-
cent pay cut for more than five months.
The congressional action has given offi-
cials the leeway to lessen the salary cuts
and also spread money around to other
key priorities.
As an example, the Navy had delayed
the refueling overhauls of two aircraft car-
riers, the USSTheodore Roosevelt andthe
USS Abraham Lincoln — critical mainte-
nance work that officials said would be
among the priorities if additional funding
could be identified.

Syria’s Assad asks nations to help end war
DAMASCUS, Syria —
Syria’s increasingly isolated
president sent a letter calling
for help fromleaders of five na-
tions at an economic meeting
Wednesday in South Africa to
help end his country’s civil war.
Bashar Assad’s appeal to
Brazil, Russia, India, China and
South Africa came a day after
the Arab League endorsed Syr-
ia’s Western-backed opposition
coalition, allowing it to take
the country’s seat at a summit
in Doha, Qatar. The move drew
strong condemnation from Da-
mascus, which warned it will
take “appropriate measures” to
defend its sovereignty.
Attempts to end Syria’s
2-year-old conflict through
peaceful means have failed to
make progress. The opposi-
tion, including the main Syr-
ian National Coalition, says it
will accept nothing less than
Assad’s departure from power
while Assad’s government has
vowed to continue the battle
until the rebel forces — which
it refers to as terrorists — are
crushed.
“This requires a clear in-
ternational will to dry up the
sources of terrorism and stop
its funding and arming,” Assad
said in the letter, which was
carried by Syrian state me-
dia on Wednesday. It was ad-
dressed to the leaders at the
BRICS forum, which was start-
ed in 2009 amid the economic
meltdown to chart a new and
more equitable world econom-
ic order.
Assad said Syria is subjected
to “acts of terrorism backed
by Arab, regional and Western
nations” and asked the leaders
to “work for an immediate ces-
sation of violence that would
guarantee the success of the
political solution.”
President appeals to
Brazil, Russia, India, China
and South Africa.

SWOYERSVILLE — Arrest
papers allege suspected burglar
Daniel Eddy targeted houses
with for-sale signs.
Forty Fort police captured
Eddy, 35, of Willow Street,
Plymouth, at a vacant house for
sale on Murray Street at 7 a.m.
Wednesday with tools to cut
copper pipes, according to ar-
rest papers.
Ten days earlier on March 18,
police allege, Eddy forced his
way into another house on the
market on Rose Street carry-
ing out a box filled with copper
pipes.
Eddy was arraigned by Dis-
trict Judge David Barilla in
Swoyersville on three counts
of burglary, criminal trespass
and two counts of theft and re-
ceiving stolen property, and a
single count
of possessing
instruments of
crime. He was
jailed at the
Luzerne Coun-
ty Correctional
Facility for lack
of $20,000 bail.
Court re-
cords say Eddy was released
from jail on March 5 when his
bail was modified from $30,000
straight to unsecured on related
charges filed by Wilkes-Barre
police.
City police allege they caught
Eddy inside a vacant house list-
ed for sale on Carey Avenue on
Feb. 26 with tools to cut copper
pipes. Eddy is facing charges of
criminal trespass and possess-
ing instruments of crime relat-
ed to the Wilkes-Barre case in
county court.
According to the criminal
complaints filed by Forty Fort
police:
Two residents of Rose Street
spotted Eddy crawling into a va-
cant house through a window at
about 3:15 p.m. March 18. Eddy
was seen leaving the house and
driving away with Jennifer Wil-
liams in a blue van. They re-
turned about 30 minutes later,
when a neighbor confronted
Eddy, who claimed he was buy-
ing the house.
Police said copper pipes were
missing from the basement of
the Rose Street house.
Police spotted the same blue
van in front of the Murray Street
house Wednesday morning.
Eddy left the house through a
rear door and police confronted
him in a yard, where he refused

PITTSTON TWP. — Santo
Volvo is tossing the keys to its
franchise to the Ken Pollock
Auto Group.
Both parties are to finalize
paperwork today for a deal that
will have Pollock selling Volvo
automobiles at its Pittston
Township Ken Pollock Plati-
num Certified location, accord-
ing to Santo Volvo owner, Greg
Santo.
Ken Pollock’s general man-
ager Gary Peters said he is ex-
cited to add the Swedish luxury
car to the company’s repertoire.
Peters said Volvo is one of
the most technologically ad-
vanced cars he has ever seen,
and they are known for their
sound construction and safety.
He said Volvos are more afford-
able than other high-end luxu-
ry autos, ranging from roughly
$30,000 to $50,000.
The three-dealership auto
group had been Nissan and Suzu-
ki dealers until Suzuki stopped
selling cars in the United States
last year. Peters said they were
looking for another franchise to
fill the spot when they got to-
gether with Santo Volvo.
Peters said manufacturers
cap their regional franchises so
as not to over-represent their
brand. They could not choose
any car company. They had to
wait for a franchise to become
available.
Santo said the deal came
at just the right time and Pol-
lock had made him an offer he
couldn’t pass up.
Santo is a second-generation
car seller who said his family
has sold Volvos for 30 years. He
said Volvo owners are a loyal
bunch and some of his current
customers bought their first
Volvo at his Moosic dealership
in 1985.
Santo said he trusts the new
owners will treat his customers
fairly.
“I’m actually glad that Ken
(Pollock) is getting it because
he is a proven businessman in
the community,” Santo said. “I
know he will take care of the
franchise.”
Peters said Volvos will be
available at Pollock’s Pittston
Township location along state
Route 315 starting Tuesday.

Purchase from Santo will
bring Swedish luxury brand to

WILKES-BARRE — A Lu-
zerne County judge on Wednes-
day ruled candidates for positions
within Pittston will be permitted
to have their names on the ballot
this May.
The petitions of Eugene M.
Rooney Jr. for mayor and Barb
Zangre for council were chal-
lenged by outgoing Council-
man Joe Chernouskas. He said
Rooney and Zangre did not file
their statements of financial in-
terest with the city of Pittston
before the March 12 deadline for
the May primaries.
After a hearing on Wednesday,
Judge Thomas Burke ruled in fa-
vor of Rooney and Zangre.
Rooney will now face incum-
bent Mayor Jason Klush in the
Democratic primary. The winner
is expected to face Republican
Don Yatko in the November Gen-
eral Election. For the two council
seats on the ballot, Zangre will
run against incumbent attorney
Michael Lombardo and former
Councilman Ken Bangs, who are
running as a team with Klush.
Chernouskas, who is complet-
ing his first term on council, is
not seeking a second term.
WILKES-BARRE — An attor-
ney representing a Kingston lia-
bility company has filed a lawsuit
in county court against a judge
and court official, alleging cor-
ruption and a conspiracy against
the company and its attorney, Jo-
seph Reisinger.
Reisinger filed the suit in coun-
ty court on behalf of Angels Sav-
ing Homes LLC after a number
of court proceedings involving
Judge Lesa Gelb and acting court
administrator Michael Shucosky.
The suit alleges Gelb made a
number of rulings in matters, in-
cluding a foreclosure, that were
“illegal” and had “absolutely no
legal authority or merit.”
The suit alleges Gelb was as-
signed matters involving the li-
ability company and Reisinger
by Shucosky in a “conspiracy”
to “rig the outcome of the litiga-
tion related to” several requests
filed by Angels Saving Homes to
“punish (Reisinger) because of a
filing of (a) judicial corruption
complaint.”
That complaint, the suit says,
arose from Shucosky “illegally
rigging the outcome of some of
(Reisinger’s) personal cases.”
Reisinger asks that Gelb and
Shucosky be prohibited from
“participating in any further pro-
ceedings involving (Angels Sav-
ing Homes and Reisinger).”

eyes.”
It was only months later that
he realized treatment court
could change his life, and he
now has been off drugs for more
than a year, he said.
“We’re saving lives and we re-
unite families here,” he said.
Guest speaker state Sen. John
Yudichak urged graduates to put
the past behind them and “start
a new day.
“At your weakest moments,
(you were) still tall enough to
lift yourself up (and become a
graduate),” said Yudichak, D-
Plymouth Township.
The program not only saves
lives, but also saves taxpayer
dollars, and Yudichak said he
hopes funding for the program
continues to come in so treat-
ment court can continue to op-
erate.
The program is in jeopardy of
losing funding because of state
budget issues; if that happens
the program then would have to
be funded solely by the county.
“(Treatment Court) impacts
so many lives, we can’t let it ex-
pire,” Yudichak said.

neys fees and costs, interest and
delayed damages and emotional
distress.
The suit also asks that a “se-
cret” settlement agreement with
Diaz be made public.
In October, the school district
hired a lawyer to investigate a
claim of teacher bullying. Four
months later, the school board
approved a disciplinary agree-
ment about an unnamed em-
ployee.
The district and employee
“have agreed to disciplinary ac-
tion and remedial conditions
outside the scope of the govern-
ing collective bargaining agree-
ment at no further cost to the
district,” according to a state-
ment read at a school board
meeting. “By this resolution,
the safety and welfare of the stu-
dents are protected.”
No other information about
the agreement was disclosed.
District Solicitor Joseph
Saporito did not return a phone
message left late Wednesday
afternoon. A phone number for
Diaz could not be found.

“Public service is a piece of me,”
he said.
He also looks forward to work
in county government, which is a
smaller version of state govern-
ment facing varied services, regu-
lations and mandates. “It’s really
a unique opportunity to step in
with a new form of government,”
he said.
Cardamone said he would use
his experience to analyze finan-
cial data to help management and
elected officials make decisions.
“Accounting is not just num-
bers anymore,” he said.
Lawton said the administra-
tion is excited about Cardamone’s
nomination because he has diver-
sified experience in a large opera-
tion and extensive credentials,
including global accounting and
certified governmental financial
manager designations.
County Human Resources Di-
rector Andrew Check said Car-
damone played a key role in the
restructuring of state accounting
and financing procedures to al-
low more benchmarking and best
practices.
Cardamone would be paid
$85,000.
The county received 22 appli-
cations for the position, which
was advertised nationally.
A human resources depart-
ment employee redacted identi-
fying information on applicants,
and Check determined six ap-
plications “most fully” met mini-
mum qualifications, Lawton told
council.
A four-member review panel
interviewed the six and forward-
ed two candidates to Lawton for
his consideration.
The following citizens served
on the review panel: John Loy-
ack, vice president of business af-
fairs at King’s College; Therman
Guamp, a citizen with financial
and accounting experience who
serves on the county’s audit com-
mittee; Joe Gibbons, county chief
engineer; and Vic Mazziotti, the
county’s previous interim bud-
get/finance chief and a project
consultant assisting with the
county’s transition to a new inte-
grated financial system.
Lawton said he must restart
the search process if council does
not confirm the nomination.
He said he is in the process of
selecting applicants for the seven
other division head positions re-
quired by home rule.

Even under current law, there ARE still ways to legally protect your home and
other hard-earned assets from being spent down on long term care when you, your
spouse or a loved one are either in or about to enter a nursing home.
• Can you save your residence?
• Can you transfer assets within the five year look-back period?
• How can annuities help?
• Can more income be protected for the spouse at home?

Daniel L. Sekel
March 26, 2013
D
aniel L. Sekel, 78, of Forty
Fort, passed from this life ear-
ly Tuesday morning in the Wilkes-
Barre General Hospital, following
a brief illness.
Born Oct. 18, 1934 in Kingston,
he was a son to the late John and
Mary (Sabonis) Sekel. Educated
in the Kingston schools, he was
a member of the 1954 graduating
class of the former Kingston High
School.
Mr. Sekel was employed as an
optician with Dr. Brown’s Optom-
etrists of Wilkes-Barre for 44 years,
retiring in 1999.
He was a member of St. Matthew
Evangelical Lutheran Church,
North Wilkes-Barre, where he pre-
viously served as a congregation
elder and was actively involved in
planning the annual church picnics
in Nuangola for many years.
He and his wife, the former Car-
ol J. Minnick, celebrated 48 years
of married life on June 12, 2012.
Dan is remembered as a loving
husband, father and pop-pop to
his beloved family. Enjoying the
outdoors, he spent countless hours
proudly tending to his garden at
home.
Over the years, he made a num-
ber of friends in his neighborhood
during his many walks and would
often be seen talking more than
walking.
In addition to his parents, he
was preceded in death by a broth-
er, John Sekel; and by sisters Marie
(Mary) Hrivnak, Vilma Beky and
Betty Sekel.
Surviving, in addtion to his wife,
Carol, at home, are their children,
Daniel L. Sekel Jr. and his wife,
Gayle, Harding, and Carrie Mas-
saker and her husband, James,
Kingston; grandchildren, Danielle
and Olivia Sekel, and Sarah, Erik
and Neil Massaker; sisters Olga
Kozlowski, Edwardsville, and El-
len Marshalla, Pringle; and numer-
ous nieces and nephews.
Funeral services for Mr. Sekel
will be conducted on Saturday at

Barre location of the John V. Mor-
ris Family Funeral Homes Inc.,
625 N. Main St., Wilkes-Barre,

Church, with the Rev. Gary John
Scharrer, pastor, officiating. Inter-
ment with committal will follow
in the St. Matthew Lawn section
of Fern Knoll Burial Park, Mid-
land Avenue, Dallas. Relatives and
friends may join the Sekel family
for visitation and remembrances
Friday from 4 to 7 p.m.
In lieu of floral tributes, memo-
rial contributions may be made
in Dan’s memory to St. Matthew
Evangelical Lutheran Church,
663 N. Main St., Wilkes-Barre, PA
18705.

Marie Pencak Pfeil
March 9, 2013
M
arie Pencak Pfeil, of Bra-
denton, Fla. and formerly of
Plymouth, passed into the hands
of the Lord on March 9, 2013.
Born in Plymouth on July 4,
1933, she was a daughter of the
late John and Mary Carver Pen-
cak. She was educated in Plym-
outh schools and graduated from
Plymouth High in 1951.
Shortly after graduation, Ma-
rie traveled to Washington, D.C.,
where she began her secretarial
career working for various govern-
ment agencies, including the De-
partment of Justice (FBI), Naval
Research Laboratories (NRL) and
the Department of Health, Educa-
tion and Welfare (HEW).
She was married to the late Nor-
man Pfeil for more than 46 years.
After retirement, Marie and Nor-
man enjoyed traveling the country
in their RV. They eventually made
their home in Bradenton, Fla.
Marie enjoyed doing volunteer
work for several charitable organi-
zations and was very active in her
church, overseeing the food con-
cession operations during bingo
games.
She enjoyed playing bingo with
her friends, occasionally visiting
the local casinos and knitting and
crocheting. She was especially
proud of her unique afghan pat-
terns.
In addition to her husband, Nor-
man, who passed away in 1996,
and her parents, Marie was pre-
ceded in death by her daughter,
Terri, and granddaughter, Kelly.
She is survived by her son,
Donald, and his wife, Helen, and
grandson, Daniel, of Bradenton.
She is also survived by her broth-
er, Walter, and his wife, Barbara, of
Hanover Township.
Family and friends gathered
to bid farewell to Marie on March
16 at Toale Brothers Funeral Cha-
pel, Bradenton. Graveside services
were held at Mansion Memorial
Park Cemetery in Ellenton, Fla.,
with Father Joseph F. Connolly of-
ficiating.

HAZLETON— A city man
faces numerous charges after
he allegedly led police on a
foot chase while toting a pound
of pot as well as heroin and
cocaine, city police said.
Police conducted a traffic stop
in the area of 6th and Carson

punishment; two counts of the
manufacture, delivery or posses-
sion of a controlled substance
with intent to manufacture or

Anna Goobic
March 26, 2013
Anna Goobic,
99, passed away
peacefully on
Tuesday, March
26, 2013, at St.
Therese Resi-
dence, Wilkes-
Barre. She
would have cele-
brated her 100th birthday on April
10th, the same birth date as her
deceased husband, Michael, who
passed away in 1993.
A gentle, kind and loving per-
son, she was a woman of quiet
demeanor who said the most
significant influences in her life
were God, her church and family
and a multitude of friends, many
of whom throughout the years
sought her advice. She aptly stat-
ed: “I gave them nothing but time
to hear them out. They gave me
more than I can ever measure or
even thank them enough.”
When asked by Father David
Shewczyk what she attributed
to her long life, she merely re-
sponded, “patience.” When her
sons asked her to elaborate, she
responded, “Patience to listen,
patience not to complain and pa-
tience knowing that life can be a
burden if you let it.”
Anna’s simple diary tells of a
good but hard life. She walked
from Laflin to Plains Township for
her schooling until eighth grade.
She loved school, particularly
math, and aspired to be a math
teacher. Anna skipped a grade but
had to leave school to work: “My
father, Nicholas, and mother, Eva,
required help to crack the coal,
feed the animals and clean the
barn,” her diary stated. “I always
loved baseball and played with the
boys.” All four of her sons shared
her love of the game and played
college baseball.
For 25 years she was employed
by Leslie Fay in Wilkes-Barre’s
Miners Mills section. She was a
charter member of Holy Trinity
Orthodox Church and a member
of the Russian Brotherhood Orga-
nization.
Anna was preceded in death by
her husband, Michael; parents,
Nicholas and Eva Kropcho; broth-
er, John Kropcho; sister, Mary So-
lovey; sons Donald and Jonah; and
daughter-in-law, Mary Anne.
Surviving are sons Michael and
wife Rita, Westfield, N.J., and Pe-
ter and wife Kathleen, Alexan-
dria, Va.; daughter-in-law, Donna
Goobic, Shickshinny; grandchil-
dren, Michael Peter Goobic, Roch-
ester, N.Y.; Dr. Kara Goobic and
husband Dr. Gert Roosen, Silver
Springs, Md.; David Goobic and
wife Amy, Midlothian, Va.; Jonah
Goobic and wife Jessica, London;
Adam Goobic and wife Brooke,
Cambridge, Mass.; Timothy
Goobic and wife Mary Theresa,
Alexandria, Va.; Bryan, Damien
and Brandon Goobic, Shickshinny,
and Nicole Hapeman, Wilkes-
Barre; great-grandchildren, Joshua
Burns, Wilkes-Barre, and Alexan-
der Goobic, Midlothian, Va.
Funeral services will be held
at 9:45 a.m. Saturday from the
Yeosock Funeral Home, 40 S. Main
St., Plains Township, with Requi-
em Service at 10:15 a.m. in Holy
Trinity Orthodox Church, Wilkes-
Barre. Interment will be in Memo-
rial Shrine Cemetery, Carverton.
Friends may call Friday from 4 to
7 p.m. Parastas service will be held
at 5:30 p.m. with the Very Rev. Da-
vid Shewczyk officiating.
There is no appropriate ending
to her obituary except to say, “She
was a saint in every sense of the
word.”

Editorial
T
HE UNITED States
has spent more than a
decade testing public
school students and
compiling results of those tests
in an effort to make sure all
children are proficient in read-
ing and math. Pennsylvania has
used those test results for a vari-
ety of awards and punishments,
and to drive education policy
and funding.
Geeks call it “data-driven de-
cision making.” Taxpayer watch-
dogs call it “accountability.”
And while there are problems
with such “high stakes test-
ing” — basing major decisions
on one or two annual exams —
there is merit to the efforts. It
just makes sense to collect con-
sistent data over time regarding
government programs to help
see if they work.
With news this week that a re-
cent report shows halfway hous-
es — transitional living facili-
ties designed to help prisoners
re-enter the community as their
sentence comes to an end —
don’t really work, one wonders
why we haven’t been applying
the same rigorous data analysis
to our prison system.
Gov. Tom Corbett’s proposed
budget would spend more than
$2 billion on the department
of corrections — more than
would be spent on higher edu-
cation. Perhaps in an effort to
justify such a priority, he has
also launched a “Corrections
Reform” initiative.
The “Recidivism Report
2013” was part of that initiative.
It looked at recidivism — the
rate at which released prisoners
land back in jail — from 2000
to 2010. One of the findings,
highlighted in Tuesday’s Times
Leader: Inmates paroled to half-
way houses have a 65.7 percent
recidivism rate compared to
61.2 percent for those paroled
straight to the streets.
This is particularly troubling
because the state contracts
much of its halfway house oper-
ations out to private companies,
including the controversial
MinSec facility in Downtown
Hazleton, recently purchased
by Community Education Cen-
ter. When asked by a reporter
about recidivism rates at its
own facilities, CEC had no an-
swers.
It is well past time for the
state to apply the same rigor
it uses in judging public school
success to prison programs,
especially when it comes to
awarding contracts to private
companies. Recidivism rates
should be scrutinized and pub-
licized the same way math and
reading scores are. Contract
renewal should hinge, at least
partly, on those rates, and on
how effectively state money
is being used to reduce them.
Programs that work should be
duplicated, programs that fail
should be de-funded.
And the public should be in-
formed every step of the way,
as it is through annual “report
cards” for individual schools
and detailed data released on
test results, graduation rates
and other important education
benchmarks.
Secretary of Corrections John
Wetzel prefaced the recidivism
report by dubbing it “ground-
breaking and comprehensive.”
It certainly has the potential to
live up to such billing, as long
as the state follows through
with a well researched and care-
fully crafted system of tracking
success and failure of commu-
nity re-entry programs, and of
prison programs in general.
If we’re going to spend $2
billion on the department of
corrections, it certainly makes
sense to be sure those “correc-
tions” are working.

Data needed
on jail programs
I
t is rare to find someone
willing to end their own
scheduled pay raises.
Yet that’s what Rep.
Patty Kim of Dauphin County
and Gerald Mullery of Luzerne
County have proposed. The two
Democrats ought to be applaud-
ed, and supported, for introduc-
ing legislation that would elimi-
nate automatic cost-of-living
adjustments, known as COLA,
for elected state officials.
Their bill, House Bill 1035,
would end annual salary in-
creases for members of the
legislature, the governor, the
lieutenant governor, and those
elected to state row offices, ac-
cording to abc27 News.
Also eliminated would be
COLAs for secretaries of state
agencies and various judges.
Kim said the money saved from
mandatory, automatic raises
could be “reallocated to help our
state’s neediest residents.”
In this state, those neediest
residents often are taxpayers
who no longer can shoulder tax
increases at the local and state
level. Property tax increases
have become almost as auto-
matic as COLA increases, and
while reallocating money to
needy Pennsylvanians is an ad-
mirable goal, those who face in-
creasingly higher taxes should
benefit.
The lawmakers are battling
a 1983 law that provides for
the annual COLAs, abc27 re-
ported. Up next, the bill will
be reviewed by the House State
Government Committee.
Let’s hope their bill makes it
out of committee. This is the
exact common-sense approach
that this state (and its taxpay-
ers) need. Kim and Mullery are
courageous for introducing leg-
islation that may prove unpopu-
lar among their ranks.
But it’s the right thing to do.
Raises should be based on mer-
it, not calendar years, and when
finances allow.

United States of today
has taken turn for worse
T
he America Obama wants to build is not
the one for which my father fought and
received the Purple Heart.
When my boys were young they played
with toy guns. Guns were not an evil word
that would get a 6-year-old expelled from
school. My boys dressed up as soldiers
because they looked up to soldiers as
individuals filled with courage and honor,
true American heroes. Now our govern-
ment does not want our children to play
like this, or mention guns.
Our president wants our country to be
more like Europe. Well, I have been in
about 12 or 13 different countries, we do
not want to be like Europe or the Middle
East.
Our country can become like China
with the granny police. but instead of forc-
ing the one child law, they will be check-
ing to see if you have consumed more
than 32 ounces of soda. Because here in
America you can have as many children
that you can not afford at the taxpayers’
expense. We have a government that has
misused the people’s money and it has
not been held accountable. Can we really
know what is best for Israel, too?
We have to remember the problem
in the Middle East with Israel did not
start when Israel became a nation. The
problem started in Genesis with Abraham
and his seed.
America has always been a friend to
Israel and I pray and hope she remains
this way because America will reap the
consequences.
Time will tell and I wish that more
people would read a Bible to know truth.
Christ did come and he will return in his
own time and maybe sooner that some
think.

Golden Living Center
praises its social workers
S
ince 1965, the National Association of
Social Workers (NASW) has named
March as the month to recognize the
profession of social work.
At Golden Living, social work is the
foundation for building involvement with
residents, patients, their family members
and staff. By acting as advocates for these
individuals, social workers ensure that
needs of every patient or resident or met.
I would like to take this opportunity
during National Social Work Month to
recognize social workers who selflessly
dedicate their lives to continually support
and provide helping hands to improve
the lives of others. From the bottom of
my heart, I am truly appreciative of our
Golden Living Center, East Mountain’s
social work team and their commitment
to the health care needs of our patients,
their families and our staff.
Golden Living Center, East Mountain
social workers are the glue that holds
our living center family together. As
health care champions for quality care
and patient satisfaction, these individuals
work with the therapy team, dietitians,
and nurses to maintain an ideal environ-
ment for all patients and residents. They
help understand and assess issues relating
to a patient’s emotional, psychological or
physical needs.
Social workers who dedicate their
profession to working with individuals in
skilled nursing facilities not only choose a
truly unique career path, but also choose
to make a difference I many individuals’
lives every day. Whether it is helping a
patient receive a meal they enjoy to help-
ing them toward returning home, social
workers partner with patients through
their golden living center care and stay.
In particular, I would like to thank our
social workers, Ann Holland and Juliann
Condrad, for the special, yet essential, role
they both play in advocating for our pa-
tients, and promoting a healthy lifestyle.
Join me in recognizing and thanking
these unsung heroes for all that the do.

Tax collection penalty
ires Lehman Twp. writer
W
hat exactly is the per capita tax? I
don’t even know; however, for some
18 years my husband and I have paid it.
Make sure when you mail your $10 check
it is received, cashed, and keep a copy of
your cancelled check.
Unbeknownst to me, apparently for
2010, Lehman Township did not receive
our payment. Recently, we came home
from work to find a restraint taped to our
front door for non-payment. Even though
we are at the same address we both were
charged delivery costs, and mileage for this
taped message from J.P. Harris Associates.
This was the first notice we received of any
kind that Lehman Township didn’t receive
my checks for 2010. This $10 tax turned
into $86 each! I called J.P. Harris and told
them I did not have $173 to just send them
a check and ask for a $25 a month payment
plan, J.P. Harris agreed, that would be fine.
I sent my first payment of $25. Three
weeks later I received a late notice from
J.P. Harris, which they charged us ap-
proximately $14 for sending the corre-
spondence.
J.P. Harris told me I got the notice,
charging me $14 because it didn’t receive
my second payment in two weeks. It
wanted $25 every two weeks. Beware
citizens!

Dear Dennis Rodman:
Stick to game of basketball
I
f I were to write a letter to Dennis Rod-
man, it would go something like this:
Dear Mr. Rodman,
You are one of the best basketball
players of all time. You should stick to
basketball and what you know. Recently
you visited North Korea. You professed
your extreme admiration for Kim Jong
Un. Did you know he is a dictator? Please
look the word up in the dictionary. It will
be found under “D.”
This man’s people are oppressed, starv-
ing and have very dismal lives. Did you
know his goal is to successfully reach
Hawaii and/or California with a nuclear
weapon? Do you own property in either
place?
Just for further clarification, if you are
looking for the singer of the popular song
“Gangnam Style,” you are very unlikely to
find him in North Korea. He is from South
Korea.
These two countries are at war with
one another. In other words, finding this
man in North Korea is like dunking a
basketball with a hockey stick. It does not
work. So, Mr. Rodman, if you are looking
for a friend, you do not have to look very
far. There are boys/girls clubs who would
love to spend time with you.
I still think you are the greatest basket-
ball player, but please, stay away from the
bad guys, especially the ones who would
look silly in gym shorts on the court.

Gaming grant process
unfair, councilman says
A
nother year, another round of casino
gaming grants and Swoyersville is
denied again. As a councilman this is very
upsetting. The whole process seems un-
fair. Why do some municipalities receive
huge amounts every year? Why are some
projects deemed more worthy that others?
Why do private enterprises receive these
grants? Why are these grants competi-
tive? There needs to be an overhaul of the
whole process to make it more equitable.
I also feel our state lawmakers need to “go
to bat for us”.
I’m urging all Swoyersville residents to
call our state representative and senators
to voice our displeasure.

Shickshinny, Jenkins Town-
ship, West Pittston, Duryea,
Exeter, Exeter Township and
Conyngham Township were
among the riverfront munici-
palities inundated by flooding
from Tropical Storm Lee in
September. Other municipali-
ties sustained roadway and
infrastructure damage from
Hurricane Irene.
Reilly said the new funds
will be used primarily for
housing rehabilitation, but “a
good portion of it” will be al-
located for infrastructure im-
provement projects.
Reilly said county officials
are contacting municipalities
to request input on which in-
frastructure projects should
receive funding. They will
compile feedback and a group
of county officials will sort
through the recommended
projects, rank them and re-
port back to county Manager
Robert Lawton.
County Council will have fi-
nal say on the awards and will
likely vote on the projects this
summer, Reilly said.
Cartwright, D-Moosic, said
that in addition to assisting
with infrastructure, the fund-
ing will help in rebuilding lo-
cal businesses and assist with
housing needs. “This funding
is a huge shot in the arm for
Luzerne County, and I look
forward to working on mak-
ing sure that Northeastern
Pennsylvania remains in the
forefront of securing federal
grants.”
HUD Secretary Chris Don-
ovan said that in the past
two years, “Mother Nature
really dealt a blow to these
communities and we must
continue to support them as
they rebuild. … For its part,
HUD is working closely with
our state and local partners to
build upon the work they’ve
done to restore their hous-
ing, infrastructure and busi-
nesses.”
The grants, part of $514
million allocated among nine
states nationwide, are provid-
ed through HUD’s Communi-
ty Development Block Grant
programto support long-term
disaster recovery efforts in ar-
eas with the greatest extent
of unmet need.
Unaffected by the fed-
eral sequester cutbacks, the
spending was authorized by
the Disaster Relief Appro-
priations Act of 2013, signed
into law by President Barack
Obama on Jan. 29. It included
$16 billion in CDBG Disaster
Recovery funding. Eight days
later, HUD announced a first
round of aid totaling $5.4 bil-
lion to five states and New
York City to assist in recovery
from Hurricane Sandy.
HUD will announce addi-
tional allocations throughout
the year based upon the level
of remaining needs to help
other states and local com-
munities impacted by natu-
ral disasters in 2011-2013,
according to Cartwright’s of-
fice.

FUNDS
he said. The authority employs
110, down from 147 six years
ago, he said.
“The board has been very
tough. We tried to hold the
line,” he said.
The most expensive item
on the capital repairs to-do list
is $4.9 million for incinerator
modifications. The incinera-
tor processes about 144 tons of
biomass sludge per day, and
new federal regulations in effect
throughout the country have
imposed more limitations on
pollutants, particularly mercury,
Tomaine said.
The authority’s incinera-
tor, which has been operating
since the Hanover Township-
based treatment facility near
the Susquehanna River became
went on line in 1969, essentially
needs a heavy-duty, specialized
filter to reduce pollutants, he
said.
Another $1.2 million will be
spent replacing a 66-inch steel
main line that feeds all waste-
water from the Wyoming Valley
into the treatment plant. The
pipe, also in use since 1969, has
deteriorated from past chlorina-
tion. The replacement cost will
double if the authority puts off
the work and waits for an emer-
gency, Tomaine said.
Wastewater must be diverted
to auxiliary locations at the
plant for treatment while this
100-foot-long header pipe is re-
placed, he said.
An average 50 million gallons
of wastewater are sent to the
treatment facility daily, though
the flow has been as high as 115
million gallons during storms
that force additional runoff into
drainage systems.
Roughly $150,000 has been
earmarked for “nutrient remov-
al upgrades” primarily funded
by another $2.7 million in state
and federal grants. This im-
provement will add large blow-
ers that pump more oxygen into
wastewater to improve the qual-
ity of treated water that ends up
in the Susquehanna River, he
said.
Some other improvements on
the list: plant repairs, $3.7 mil-
lion; force mains and pumping
stations, $2.8 million; collection
and diversion chambers, $1.25
million; vehicles, $1 million;
office and building equipment,
$139,465; combined sewage
overflow, $700,000; and River
Street pipe lining and repair,
$755,000.
A $425,000 grit washing sys-
tem also is in the plans. Grit
is the fine gravel from salting
and cindering area roadways.
The system removes slime that
clings to the grit so it dries out
and weighs less to reduce land-
fill disposal costs based on ton-
nage, Tomaine said.
The vehicle purchases will
primarily be heavy equipment,
such as a combination vacuum/
flushing truck costing about
$300,000, he said.
The pumping station repairs
will include roofing and electri-
cal upgrades at some of the 59
stations, which force wastewa-
ter up inclines to the treatment
facility.

private funding initiatives are
making a difference in commu-
nities such as Nanticoke.
Leary noted that, through
the two new buildings, the
school has been able to edu-
cate students in two of the
“most in-demand industries
in the county, health sciences
and culinary arts.”
State Sen. John Yudichak, D-
Plymouth Township, who act-
ed as a local historian on the
tour, told Cawley what decrep-
it structures used to stand va-
cant on lots now bustling with
students and city residents.
The culinary arts building is
on a property that once housed
the former Susquehanna Coal
Co. building, which Yudichak
noted “was vacant my entire
life.”
He said Nanticoke, which at
its height was home to 35,000
residents, declined over time
as the coal companies left and
other business and industries
closed shop. Today the city
has just 10,000 citizens.
“We were left with hollowed-
out buildings,” Yudichak said.
“We had to change.”
And with the help of state,
county and private funding,
the city is changing. The
transformation is most appar-
ent downtown and the com-
munity college’s expansion to
that part of the city in recent
years is the poster child for
that evolution.
James Kolinansky was shop-
ping at the nearby Weis mar-
ket as the lieutenant governor
was taking a driving tour of
the city.
Kolinansky said the city has
certainly made strides, though
“much work still needs to be
done.”
“It’s a heck of a lot better now
than it was even five years ago,
but there’s still vacant build-
ings, not much here after dark,
but they’re trying,” he said. “I
hope the state helps more. It’s
making a difference.”
Though Yudichak, Leary
and others said more will be
done, Wednesday was about
showing Cawley and officials
from the state Department of
Community and Economic
Development what has been
done and not just through
pictures or letters or press re-
leases.
LCCC Dean of Nursing
and Health Sciences Deborah
Vilegi-Peters said the chance
to walk Cawley through the
buildings and classrooms and
have him see students hard at
work on equipment or in labs
that wouldn’t exist without
state funding is imperative.
“They can actually see the
environment the students are
learning in and how they’re
benefiting from their funding,”
Vilego-Peters said.
And that’s why Yudichak
wanted Cawley and other
state officials to see Nanticoke
this week.
“Lt. Gov. Cawley’s here to
celebrate our success,” Yudi-
chak said.

Another multimillion-dollar

supplied one, the federal gov-
ernment’s interest in treating
same-sex couples the same no
matter where they live.
Clement said the government
does not want military families
“to resist transfer from West
Point to Fort Sill because they’re
going to lose their benefits.” The
U.S. Military Academy at West
Point is in New York, where
same-sex marriage is legal, and
Fort Sill is in Oklahoma, where
gay marriages are not legal.
Opposing Clement was the
Obama administration’s top
Supreme Court lawyer, Donald
Verrilli, who said the provision
of DOMA at issue, Section 3,
impermissibly discriminates
against gay people.
“This statute is not called the
Federal Uniform Benefits Act,”
Verrilli said. The administration
wants the court to apply a level
of scrutiny it applies to discrimi-
nation against other disadvan-
taged groups and that makes it
harder for governments to jus-
tify those laws.
Verrilli andRoberta Kaplan, the
lawyer for the 83-year-old New
Yorker who sued over DOMA,
told the court that views about
gay people and marriage have
shifted dramatically since 1996.
The justices chose for their
review the case of Edith Wind-
sor who sued to challenge a
$363,000 federal estate tax bill
after her partner of 44 years
died in 2009.
Windsor married Thea Spyer
in 2007 in Canada after doctors
told them that Spyer would not
live much longer. She suffered
frommultiple sclerosis for many
years. Spyer left everything she
had to Windsor.
There is no dispute that if
Windsor had been married to a
man, her estate tax bill would
have been zero.
The justices stepped into
the dispute after lower federal
courts ruled against the mea-
sure.

his advisers have calculated that

president.
In his interviews Wednesday,
Obama tried to stay out of the
prickly policy issues that remain
unfinished in the Senate talks,
though he said a split between
business and labor on wages for
new low-skilled workers was un-
likely to “doom” the legislation.
“This is a resolvable issue,” he
said.
The president also spoke
Wednesday with Univision. His
interviews followed a citizenship
ceremony conducted Monday
at the White House, where he
pressed Congress to “finish the
job” on immigration, an issue
that has vexed Washington for
years.
The president made little prog-
ress in overhauling the nation’s
fractured immigration laws in
his first term, but he redoubled
his efforts after winning re-elec-
tion. The November contest also
spurred some Republicans to
drop their opposition to immigra-
tion reform, given that Hispanics
overwhelmingly backed Obama.
In an effort to keep Repub-
licans at the negotiation table,
Obama has stayed relatively qui-
et on immigration over the last
month.
He rolled out his immigration
principles during a January rally
in Las Vegas and made an impas-
sioned call for overhauling the
nation’s laws during his early
February State of the Union ad-
dress, then purposely handed off
the effort to lawmakers.
The president has, however,
privately called members of the
Senate working group, and the
administration is providing tech-
nical support to the lawmakers.
The Gang of Eight is expected
to unveil its draft bill when Con-
gress returns from a two-week
recess the week of April 8.
Obama and the Senate group
are in agreement on some core
principles, includinga pathwayto
citizenship for most of the 11 mil-
lion illegal immigrants already in
the country, revamping the legal
immigration system and holding
businesses to tougher standards
on verifying their workers are in
the country legally.
But they’re at odds over key
issues. The Senate group wants
the citizenship pathway to be
contingent on securing the bor-
der, something Obama opposes.
The president has also side-
stepped the contentious guest-
worker issue, which contributed
to derailing immigration talks in
2007.
The U.S. Chamber of Com-
merce and the AFL-CIO have
reached significant agreements
ona newvisa programthat would
bring up to 200,000 lower-skilled
workers to the country each year.
But they reached a stalemate Fri-
day over wages for the workers,
with the labor union pushing for
higher wages than the chamber
has agreed to so far.

Chicago snaps Heat’s win streak at 27
CHICAGO — The Miami Heat’s
27-game winning streak was snapped
Wednesday night by the Chicago
Bulls, 101-97, when a furious come-
back by LeBron James and his team-
mates fell short.
The Heat finished six games short
of the record held by the 1971-72 Los
Angeles Lakers.
Luol Deng scored 28 points, Car-
los Boozer added 21 points and 17
rebounds, and the Bulls brought
the Heat’s pursuit of the record to a
screeching halt despite another big
game from James.
Miami’s superstar did all he could
to keep the run going, scoring 32
points in a physical final few minutes
that saw the MVP even collect a fla-
grant foul.
The Heat hadn’t lost since the Pac-
ers beat them in Indianapolis on Feb.
1. But after grinding out some close
wins lately, including a rally from 27
down in Cleveland, they simply came
up short down the stretch in this one.
For the better part of two months,
they were the NBA’s comeback kings.
They erased seven double-digit defi-
cits during the streak. They found
themselves trailing in the fourth quar-
ter 11 times, and won them all.
Not Wednesday.
And when they walked off the floor
in Chicago, they were not happy. Faces
were stoic as the Heat trudged toward
the locker room. James turned and
glared at one fan who grabbed at his
head. Meanwhile, the Bulls whooped
and slapped hands with anyone they
could reach, with some acknowledg-
ing that being the team that snapped
the streak meant plenty.
It will go down as the second-

marked by 3-point lines.
But Paul Guffrovich and Larry Koretz both
know a lot about outside shots.
Their old college programs are both long-
shots in the NCAA tournament as they square
off in a West Region semifinal tonight.
Guffrovich was a long-range bomber and
record-setting point guard at Wichita State.
Koretz was an anomoly of his time as a big man
who deftly drilled deep jumpers for La Salle
University.
And both are excited about the success their
old schools have found decades after they de-
parted.
“Yes,” Koretz said, confirming the excitement
of seeing his old college team make a tourna-
ment run, “and tell ‘Guff’ I’ll be pulling for the

second
season is
easier to
weather
By DEREK LEVARSE

The snowkeeps falling at Penn
State. And the Nittany Lions
have stayed stuck indoors for the
spring. Compared to the hectic
changes of last spring, however,
the venue change hasn’t been
much of a nuisance.
“I’m content being inside,”
senior guard John Urschel said
Wednesday before the team’s
fifth practice of the spring. “I
played in the snowenough in my
Buffalo days (in
high school).”
Despite being
inside on the
artificial turf at
Holuba Hall in-
stead of on the
grass just out-
side of the han-
gar, the Lions
are having an
easier transition
this offseason.
Much of that
comes from hav-
ing a firm grasp
of the playbook,
especially on of-
fense.
“We’re miles
ahead of where
we were last
year at this time,” said senior
Adam Gress, the favorite to start
at right tackle in the fall. “We’re
running things we didn’t install
until camp last year.”
The increased comfort level
for players comes just as much
from their familiarity with the
coaches. It starts right up top
with Bill O’Brien, who got a de-
layed start to the offseason last
year as he shuttled back and
forth between State College and
New England, working with the
Patriots through the Super Bowl.
Players said Wednesday that
they’ve noticed a change in
O’Brien himself as everyone gets
back into the groove of practice.
“I just think he’s a little more
laid back this spring,” linebacker
Mike Hull said. “We’ve already
Despite harsh conditions,
spring drills have been much
calmer for PSU than last year.

WILKES-BARRE TWP. – Paul
Thompson received a wake-up
call early in the first period of
Wednesday’s matchup between
the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pen-
guins and the Binghamton Sena-
tors.
Skating along the boards in the
Binghamton end, Thompson was
crunched into the wall by Sena-
tors’ defenseman Mark Borow-
iecki. After a
few moments
on the ice to
collect him-
self, Thomp-
son stayed in
the game and
found the ulti-
mate redemp-
tion – a goal
that would turn
out to be the
game-winner.
The Pen-
guins scored
three times in
the first period
to beat the Sen-
ators 4-2. The
win improves the Penguins to 35-
28-2-1 and is their third in nine
games against the Senators. With
sixth-place Connecticut idle, the
Penguins move into sixth place
in the Eastern Conference with
73 points.
There were two keys to
Wednesday’s win – the first pe-
riod and the last half of the third.
Goals by Trevor Smith, Chad
Kolarik and Thompson marked
the first time the Penguins
scored three times in the open-
ing period since Jan. 23 in a 3-0
win over Toronto.
Head coach John Hynes said
the trio of goals was the result of
the Penguins’ ability to establish
their forecheck early.
“We wound up getting some
momentum from that. Guys
made some good plays,” Hynes
said. “The goals that we scored
were good goals, they weren’t
lucky ones, and that gave the
team a little bit of life.”
Smith started it off when he
flipped in a rebound from a Ko-
larik shot at 11:35. The goal was
Smith’s second in three games.
Kolarik earned his second
point of the night – this time on
a goal when he blazed a wrister
from the slot three minutes later.
It was Kolarik’s fourth two-point
game in the last eight contests
and gave the Penguins a 2-0 lead.

remaining in the opening period,

Rory McIlroy walks past autograph-seeking fans as he heads to
the first tee during the pro-am for the Houston Open golf tourna-
ment on Wednesday in Houston.
McIlroy tries to find formgoing to Masters
By DOUG FERGUSON
AP Golf Writer
HUMBLE, Texas — Once the
frost thawed, Rory McIlroy was
back at work Wednesday morn-
ing trying to find a swing he
could trust and repeat.
McIlroy hasn’t looked any-
thing like the No. 1 player in golf
this year, and now he’s not. That
spot belongs to Tiger Woods
again after winning for the third
time in two months to establish
himself as the favorite going into
the Masters.
None of this bothers McIlroy.
He is more concerned with the
path of his swing than the math-
ematical average of his ranking.
He wants to win whenever he
plays, though there is pragmat-
ic side to the 23-year-old from
Northern Ireland. He still hasn’t
made the cut against a full field
this year.
That makes the Houston Open
more than just a final tuneup for
the first major of the year. It’s a
place to measure progress.
“I want to get back to getting
into contention in tournaments
and trying to win,” McIlroy said.
“I think this is a good week to try
and get into contention, have a
chance with the Masters coming
up. I’m just really focused on this
week in Houston and trying to
play well here.”
McIlroy is part of a strong field
at the Houston Open, where the
tournament tries to give players
a taste of what they might see in
two weeks. The greens are fast
and pure, with several closely
mown collection areas that al-
low for a variety of shots around
the green.
The Houston Open thought it
was getting the No. 1 player in
the world when McIlroy signed
up to play Redstone Golf Club
in January. It still has five of the
top 10 players, including Steve
Stricker, Brandt Snedeker, Louis
Oosthuizen and Steve Stricker.
And it has Phil Mickelson,
who likes Houston so much that
he would rather be here than his
usual schedule of playing the
week before the Masters. Be-
cause the Masters is a week later
than usual based on the calendar
— it always ends on the second
Sunday of April — the Texas
Open was given the spot a week
before Augusta. That change
worked out well for McIlroy, who
wants to be in Augusta the week-
end before the Masters.
“I thought it fit in really nice-
ly,” McIlroy said.
Far more important is what
follows over the next few days.
Under more scrutiny than he
had ever faced — a new place in
the game, a new equipment deal
with Nike — McIlroy tripped
badly coming out of the blocks.
He missed the cut in Abu Dhabi.
He lost in the first round of the
Match Play Championship. Frus-
tration boiled over to the point
that he walked out in the second
round of the Honda Classic.
Optimism came from Doral, a
World Golf Championship event
with no cut. McIlroy not only
broke par for the first time all
year, he closed with a 65 to crack
the top 10. And then he took off
for two more weeks, spending
part of that time with tennis girl-
friend Caroline Wozniacki in Key
Biscayne, Fla., and hitting balls
at a public course in Miami.
McIlroy was spotted hitting
balls with a carry bag (decked
out in Manchester United logos)
next to other paying customers
at Miami Municipal Golf Course.
It was rare to see a player with
McIlroy’s credentials — still No.
1 in the world with two major
championships — in such a pub-
lic setting.
He didn’t understand all the
fuss. McIlroy still sees himself as
normal.
And in his normal world, he is
bound to hit the kind of rough
patches he is going through now.
And he looked like a regular guy
Wednesday morning, sitting in
a booth inside the caddie trailer
having breakfast with his coach
and his caddie, watching sports
on TV, perfectly content with his
world.

their 4-1 win over the Detroit Tigers in an exhibition game on Wednesday in Lakeland, Fla.
The Associated Press
LAKELAND, Fla. — Cole
Hamels tuned up for his first
opening day start by pitching
three scoreless innings for Phila-
delphia while Justin Verlander
worked into the sixth inning
Wednesday as the Phillies beat
the Detroit Tigers 4-1.
Hamels gave up one hit,
walked one and struck out
three. He’ll start next Monday
night at Atlanta.
Verlander allowed one earned
run and five hits in 5 2-3 in-
nings, striking out five and
walking one. He’ll start Monday
at Minnesota.
Tigers rookie reliever Bruce
Rondon gave up two runs
on two hits, two walks and a
balk and got just two outs. He
entered camp as the favorite
to win the closer’s job, and has
a 5.84 ERA this spring. Ben
Revere raised his spring average
to .325 with two hits for the
Phillies. Torii Hunter doubled
and singled for the Tigers.
Nationals (ss) 11, Braves 2
VIERA, Fla. — Ryan Zimmer-
man hit three home runs and
Wilson Ramos hit two more as
a split squad of Washington Na-
tionals beat the Atlanta Braves.
Tyler Moore also homered for
the Nationals, giving them six
for the afternoon. Zimmerman
and Ramos each had four RBIs.
Cardinals 10,
Nationals (ss) 1
JUPITER, Fla. — Jaime Gar-
cia pitched eight sharp innings
and the St. Louis Cardinals
topped a split squad of Washing-
ton Nationals.
Garcia allowed one run and
six hits, walking none and strik-
ing out eight. The Nationals’
lineup didn’t include anyone
on its projected 25-man roster
— the Washington starters had
combined for only 20 at-bats
this spring training going into
the afternoon.
Twins 7, Pirates 4
BRADENTON, Fla. — A.J.
Burnett loosened up for his
opening day start with three in-
nings in the Pittsburgh Pirates’
loss to the Minnesota Twins.
Burnett allowed two runs
and four hits and struck out
two. He’ll next pitch on Mon-
day when the Pirates host the
Chicago Cubs.
Vance Worley went five in-
nings for the Twins, giving up
two runs and seven hits while
striking out five.
Blue Jays 6, Rays 1
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla.
— Colby Rasmus hit a grand
slam that capped a six-run rally
in the eighth inning off Kirby
Yates and the Toronto Blue Jays
defeated the Tampa Bay Rays.
Jeff Niemann, still uncertain
whether he will be in Tampa
Bay’s rotation to open the season,
made a final statement in his fa-
vor, pitching six scoreless innings
of two-hit, no-walk ball. Niemann
struck out three and improved
his spring ERA to 2.92.
Marlins 4, Red Sox 1
FORT MYERS, Fla. — Jon
Lester prepared for his open-
ing day start by pitching four
scoreless innings for the Boston
Red Sox in a loss to the Miami
Marlins.
Red Sox manager John Farrell
announced before the game that
Lester would start Monday at
Yankee Stadium against New
York. The left-hander then gave
up just two hits, striking out
four without a walk.
White Sox 5, Indians 4
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Daisuke
Matsuzaka made his final Cac-
tus League start of the spring,
working 5 1/3 strong innings in
the Indians’ loss to the Chicago
White Sox.
Matsuzaka, who allowed two
runs on five hits, will report to
Triple-A Columbus when the In-
dians break camp. The Japanese
right-hander is working his way
back to the majors after under-
going Tommy John surgery last
June.
Angels 6, Rangers 3
TEMPE, Ariz. — Garrett
Richards, who figures to open
the season in the bullpen,
started for the Los Angeles
Angels and threw 2 1-3 scoreless
innings in a win over the Texas
Rangers.
Richards made his fifth spring
appearance and second start. He
allowed three hits.
Jerome Williams followed
Richards and struck out six in
3 2-3 innings. He gave two runs
and six hits.
Reds 7, Padres 3
GOODYEAR, Ariz. — Edin-
son Volquez was wild in his
warmup to start the Padres’
opener, walking six as the Cin-
cinnati Reds beat San Diego.
Volquez is set to pitch Mon-
day against the Mets in New
York. He was pulled after his
sixth walk with no outs in the
sixth inning, and gave up one
run and two hits.
Mariners 10, Dodgers 7
PEORIA, Ariz. — Felix Her-
nandez allowed three runs in six
innings in his last start of spring
training, helping the Seattle
Mariners beat the Los Angeles
Dodgers.
Clayton Kershaw, also tuning
up for opening day, pitched
three innings and gave up three
runs and five hits. He faced only
15 batters for the Dodgers.
Kershaw gave up a two-run
home run to Seattle’s Michael
Morse, who has eight this
spring. Kendrys Morales, Dustin
Ackley, Jesus Montero and Rob-
ert Andino each had two hits for
the Mariners.
The Dodgers fielded a start-
ing lineup of mostly minor
leaguers. Relief pitcher Ted
Lilly drove in two runs with a
two-out double off Hernandez in
the sixth.
Athletics 6, Rockies 5
PHOENIX — Jhoulys Chacin
was roughed up in his final
spring training start, allowing
six runs and 10 hits in five in-
nings, and the Colorado Rockies
lost to the Oakland Athletics.
Brewers 9, Royals 1
PHOENIX — Yovani Gallardo
threw 6 1-3 innings of two-hit
ball and the Milwaukee Brewers
beat the Kansas City Royals.
Alex Gonzalez homered,
singled and drove in two runs.
Aramis Ramirez added a two-
run single for the Brewers.
Giants 8, Diamondbacks 6
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Bran-
don Belt hit his eighth spring
home run and Madison Bumgar-
ner threw five effective innings
and the San Francisco Giants
wrapped up their spring training
in Arizona with a victory over
the Diamondbacks.
Mets 6, Astros 2
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. —
Jonathon Niese got ready for
his opening day assignment by
throwing 4 1-3 scoreless innings,
leading the New York Mets over
the Houston Astros.
Niese gave up two hits, struck
out seven and walked two. His
next outing will be Monday at
home against San Diego.
Marlon Byrd homered,
doubled and drove in three runs.
Yankees 11, Orioles 8
SARASOTA, Fla. — David
Phelps pitched into the sixth
inning, striking out nine, Bobby
Wilson had three RBIs and the
New York Yankees beat the
Baltimore Orioles.
Phelps will start the season
in the Yankees rotation because
Phil Hughes will begin the year
on the disabled list with a bulg-
ing disk in his back.

McCarver to step down
from Fox after season
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Tim McCa-
rver will make his 55th straight
season of Major League Base-
ball his last.
The two-time champion
catcher will call the World Se-
ries this year and then retire
from his analyst job at Fox.
“I wanted to step down while
I know I can still do the job and
proud of the job I’ve done,” the
71-year-old McCarver said dur-
ing a conference call Wednes-
day.
His health is good, McCarver
said. So are his passion and en-
ergy for the game.
It was just time.
“It’s not a tough call,” he said.
“It’s not a sad thing for me.”
McCarver had been thinking
about moving on for a couple of
years. This winter, Fox execu-
tives visited him at his home in
Florida to discuss extending his
contract, which expires after
the 2013 season.
They never even started ne-
gotiations. McCarver had al-
ready made up his mind.
McCarver has seen other
people in various businesses
stay at their jobs until their
health eventually forced them
out, and their
quality of life
was often not
very good
after they
retired. Mc-
Carver didn’t
want that for
himself.
A wine aficionado with a sec-
ond home in California’s Napa
Valley, he’d love to travel to
Italy for cooking classes.
“I plan on living a very long
life, believe me,” McCarver
said. “I hope Mother Nature co-
operates.”
McCarver could still appear
on Fox or its new cable net-
work, Fox Sports 1, in a differ-
ent role in the future. But until
he tests out retirement, he can’t
predict whether he’ll still want
to do a little broadcasting.
McCarver will call a full
schedule of games for Fox this
season. There was no discus-
sion Wednesday of who might
replace him in the booth for
2014.
McCarver has worked 28 con-
secutive MLB postseasons on
network television, providing
analysis for a record 23 World
Series.
McCarver
KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. — The
grunts were long and loud
in the final game, as if Maria
Sharapova was pushing a couch
across nearby Crandon Beach.
Trying to win the Sony Open
must feel that way to Sharapo-
va, a four-time runner-up. She
returned to the semifinals
Wednesday despite a patchy
performance, beating Sara Er-
rani 7-5, 7-5.
Sharapova had 57 unforced
errors, including 13 double-
faults, and overcame three set
points in the second set.
“I made things much more
difficult than they should have
been,” she said.
The two sets took 2½ hours,
and a flurry of mistakes by both
players left spectators groaning.
Sharapova had the last laugh,
whacking a forehand winner
past Errani on match point.
“She really made me work
for this match,” Sharapova said.
“I had to dig deep — so many
opportunities, a few ups and
downs. I’m definitely happy to
get through another one.”
Seeded No. 3, she’ll play
Thursday against the winner
of the quarterfinal Wednesday
night between 15th-seeded Ro-
berta Vinci and No. 22 Jelena
Jankovic.
The men’s quarterfinals fea-
tured eight Europeans for the
first time, and in the opening
match, No. 3 David Ferrer of
Spain rallied
past unseeded
Jurgen Mel-
zer of Austria,
4-6, 6-3, 6-0.
Ferrer’s op-
ponent Friday
will be the
winner of the
match Wednesday night be-
tween bracket buster Tommy
Haas of Germany and No. 11
Gilles Simon of France.
The 34-year-old Haas became
the oldest man to beat a No. 1
player in a completed match in
30 years when he upset three-
time champion Novak Djokovic
on Tuesday night.
Sharapova faced Errani in a
rematch of last year’s French
Open final, which Sharapova
won to complete a career Grand
Slam. But she has never won
Key Biscayne, losing the final in
2005, ‘06, ‘11 and ‘12.
“I’ve been so close to win-
ning,” Sharapova said. “I would
love to win this. I’ve been com-
ing to this tournament since I
was a little kid as a spectator.
To be playing here, to be do-
ing so well and getting to that
stage, I sure hope I can go fur-
ther this time.”
Her quarterfinal took place
with the stadiumhalf empty de-
spite postcard weather. Atten-
dance is down about 7 percent
from last year, and promoters
blame the absence of Rafael
Nadal and Roger Federer.

“I think everybody goes for
the underdog.”
He goes to Grotto Pizza to
serve up drinks instead of as-
sists now.
And makes schedules, covers
shifts and manages the bar the
way he once managed games.
They used to say putting a
basketball in the hands of Kore-
tz in the clutch was like money
in the bank, and more than 25
years later, that still rings true.
He makes bank deposits, too.
“Jack of all trades,” Koretz
called himself.
Which is fitting. Because back
when he played for La Salle, Ko-
retz didn’t have one defined po-
sition, he played three of them
- sometimes in the same game.
“Anywhere from small for-
ward, big forward, power for-
ward,” said Koretz, who starred
at GAR High School in the early
1980s.
Guffrovich was purely a point
guard, and one of the best in
Wichita State’s history.
He’s currently a part-time
teacher at Luzerne County Com-
munity College, which is also
fitting. Because during his play-
ing days, Guffrovich schooled
plenty of players while setting
Wichita State records for assists
and 3-point shooting percent-
age, which stood for a few years
after he was gone.
“It was a tremendous learning
experience,” Guffrovich said.
They already knewGuffrovich
could shoot. He set the stan-
dard that still stands at Nanti-
coke Area High School, where
Guffrovich scored 2,271 career
points and may have scored
over 3,000 if he had the benefit
of playing his high school days
with a 3-point shot. Many of his
baskets came from 20 feet or be-
yond during his high school days
from 1983 through 1987 - before
the 3-point shot was installed in
the high school game.
So Guffrovich found comfort
in the bombs-away systemcoach
Eddie Fogler used to reach the
NCAA Tournament in Guffrov-
ich’s first year at Wichita State
and the NITtourney during Guf-
frovich’s first season as a starter
during his sophomore season.
The Shockers were bounced out
in the early rounds of both play-
off tournaments.
Guffrovich’s 43.4 career
3-point shooting percentage still
ranks fifth on Wichita State’s
all-time list. He was named the
1991 team MVP and was se-
lected to Wichita State’s top 50
all-time team at the turn of the
century.
“That’s one thing that will
stick with me. They have a
pretty rich history out there,”
said Guffrovich, who left a job
in Arizona and returned to the
Wyoming Valley to take care of
his mother a few years ago.
Still, Wichita State is hardly
a perennial NCAA power, and
Guffrovich said it delighted him
to to watch his old Shockers
team pull off a couple of stun-
ning upsets - including knocking
off the nation’s top-ranked team
Gonzaga - to reach the Sweet 16
as a No. 9 seed.
“In the pool I was in, I actually
picked them to beat Gonzaga,”
Guffrovich said. “I’ll always have
ties there. I spent a long time in
Wichita. I’ll always watch them.”
Koretz is the first to admit
he doesn’t watch La Salle much
anymore.
“There’s not a lot of guys who
were there when I was,” Koretz
said. “I follow them as much as
I could, which is not to say a lot.
I’ve been to a couple Temple
games.”
That’s because his old college
assistant coach Fran Dunphy
is currently the head coach at
Temple, where former La Salle
head coach Speedy Morris - who
recruited Koretz out of GAR -
hangs out.
But he was impressed when
the current group of Explorers
won a play-in game to join the
NCAA field, then upended No.
4 Kansas State and Mississippi
to reach the Sweet 16 as a No.
16 seed.
“If it weren’t for Florida Gulf
Coast, probably the whole
country would be talking about
them,” Koretz said of the Ex-
plorers.
During his playing days at La
Salle from 1983 through 1987,
Koretz gave Philadelphia fans
something to revel in.
His 6-foot-8 frame may have
suggested an inside game, But
Koretz suprised opponents with
remarkable outside touch that
produced over 200 field goals
from 3-point range and 1,382
points during his college career.
“It was uncommon,” Ko-
retz said. “When I was in high
school, the other guys on the
team were saying there’s never
been a big guy who can shoot
(from outside) like you.”
Koretz, also playing his high
school ball without the benefit
of a 3-point shot, scored 2,100
points at GAR from 1978 to
1983. He was so agile, he also
played shortstop on the school’s
baseball team.
And at La Salle, Koretz start-
ed every game from his fresh-
man through senior seasons.
That ’80s era never included an
NCAA tourney berth for Koretz
and La Salle, but he did help the
Explorers reach the NIT cham-
pionship game in 1987.
“Starting every game was
big,” said Koretz, who now
coaches his 9-year-old son Jacob
in a youth league. “I was one of
the first guys to do that for four
years. When I first started (at La
Salle), I don’t know there was
anybody else who did that.”
What their time on the college
courts did do was instill an inter-
est in their old programs that re-
mains long after Guffrovich and
Koretz are gone from the team’s
spotlight.
They’re anxious to find out if
one of these decided underdogs
can make a real run starting to-
night, and ride a long-shot bid
all the way to an NCAA title.
“I would love to see that,” Guf-
frovich said, “just for the players
and for the team.
“I’ll definitely watch it.”

been in the system a year. We
know his expectations. We’re
way ahead on schemes, and
people aren’t hesitating, just
going out and making plays.”
Hull and the defense, though,
had an extra hurdle this spring
as John Butler takes over as
defensive coordinator. Butler is
the team’s third full-time defen-
sive boss in as many seasons,
following Ted Roof and Tom
Bradley before him.
Last season, the veterans on
defense like Michael Mauti said
the toughest part of the transi-
tion was having to learn all new
terminology under Roof.
By all accounts, the language
won’t change much under But-
ler.
“He’s doing a great job.
He kept everything similar
scheme-wise,” Hull said of But-
ler. “(Butler and Roof) are simi-
lar coaches and I don’t think
much is going to change.”
Wednesday practice notes
• According to reporters in
State College who were permit-
ted to watch a brief portion of
the Lions’ practice on Wednes-
day, quarterback Tyler Fergu-
son got the majority of reps
with the first teamduring some
light scrimmaging.
That, however, isn’t meant
to be an indication that he is
ahead of fellow signal-caller
Steven Bench in the battle to
replace Matt McGloin. Multi-
ple Penn State players said the
reps have been split evenly be-
tween the two during the first
10 days of spring ball.
• Tight-end-turned-tackle
Garry Gilliam did not practice
because of a calf injury. Defen-
sive tackle DaQuan Jones was
also limited.
• West Scranton’s Eric
Shrive, who has worked this
spring at tackle after alternat-
ing between tackle and guard
in his career, spent Wednesday
as the first-team left tackle. Re-
turning starter Donovan Smith
drilled with the second team
and was held out of the scrim-
mage work.
• Wyoming Valley Confer-
ence fans anxious to see wide-
out Eugene Lewis in action
may not have to wait long.
Some space has opened up at
wide receiver as rising sopho-
more Trevor Williams has been
working with the defensive
backs this spring.
Lewis and Williams both en-
tered Penn State as receivers in
2012. Lewis redshirted while
Williams played as a true fresh-
man, catching 10 passes. The
Lions have both starting receiv-
ers back for 2013 in Allen Rob-
inson and Brandon Moseby-
Felder, but Lewis would be in
the mix for significant playing
time in the fall with them.
Malik Golden, who also
started out as a receiver while
redshirting with Lewis last sea-
son, will be working on both
offense and defense this spring,
according to O’Brien.

Penguins goalie Jeff Zatkoff deflects the shot of Binghamton’s Mark Stone during the first
period of a game Wednesday.
Thompson made it 3-0 with a
perfectly placed shot from the
right faceoff circle that found
the top corner over Bingham-
ton goaltender Nathan Lawson.
The goal came 10 minutes after
the hard hit from Borowiecki.
“It’s something that kind of
wakes you up a bit when you
get hit like that in the first cou-
ple of shifts,” Thompson said.
“It felt good to go on and score
one.”
A lull in the second period
allowed Binghamton to estab-
lish offensive pressure, and the
Senators beat Jeff Zatkoff with
a backhand shot by Corey Co-
wick to cut the Penguins’ lead
to two goals headed into the
third period.
The Senators closed the gap
to a single goal in the third
period when Hugh Jessiman’s
slapshot beat Zatkoff to make
it 3-2.
That was as close as the Sen-
ators would get as Brian Gib-
bons put the game away with a
power-play goal at 14:42 to seal
the Penguins’ 4-2 win.
Hynes said his team’s finish
was impressive as its start.
“We had a lead and the oth-
er team made a push, got to
within one goal but we didn’t
flinch,” he said. “That’s prob-
ably the most important thing
coming out of this game.”
Along with the fact that the
Penguins were able to maintain
their four-point cushion above
Manchester, who is battling for
the last playoff spot.
“In all reality you can’t get
too up or down right now with
wins and losses,” Hynes said.
“It’s just more or less you get
points out of your games, stay
the course and not get too high
or low.”
NOTES
• D Clark Seymour, D Cody
Wild, RW Chris Minella, C Phil
Dupuis (injury) and LW Steve
MacIntyre were scratched for
the Penguins.
• Robert Bortuzzo – back
from Pittsburgh on a condi-
tioning assignment – skated
in his first game with Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton since Jan. 11.
Bortuzzo is still part of Pitts-
burgh’s roster and is eligible
to play three games with Wil-
kes-Barre/Scranton without
having to clear waivers. He
finished the night with an as-
sist, plus-2 and several big hits.
Bortuzzo hasn’t played since
Feb. 28 with the Penguins and
admitted to feeling some rust
early on.
“I had to take a couple of
shifts to get into it,” Bortuzzo
said. “It’s an adjustment for me
going in and out of the lineup,
but (Pittsburgh) does a good
job with preparation and I just
have to be ready when I am
called upon.”
• Kolarik’s two-point night
was his fourth in his last eight
games.

Continued from Page 1B
HUMBLE, Texas — Roger
Penske said Wednesday that
Joey Logano and Denny Ham-
lin have exchanged text mes-
sages since their final-lap crash
at Fontana last weekend that
left Hamlin hospitalized with a
fractured vertebra.
Penske said he’s also sent
text messages to Hamlin, who
is expected to miss at least six
weeks. Penske and Logano, one
of his drivers, were playing in
the pro-am leading up to the
PGA Tour’s Houston Open.
Logano twice turned down
interview requests. Hamlin ac-
knowledged he exchanged text
messages with Logano.
“It didn’t go well,” Hamlin
told The Associated Press.
“The conversation was both
short and unproductive.”
Hamlin was examined Tues-
day by Dr. Jerry Petty of Caro-
lina Neurosurgery and Spine
Associates, who determined he
won’t need back surgery.
“I’ve texted back and forth
with him and said that we’re
thinking about him,” Penske
said. “Obviously, we’re hoping
for a speedy recovery. It’s never
good to have a driver out for a
period of time.”
He didn’t know what Logano
and Hamlin said to one another
in their text messages. The for-
mer Gibbs Racing teammates
had a prickly relationship long
before Sunday’s wreck. Logano
replaced Tony Stewart at JGR
in 2009, and signs of a rift be-
tween he and Hamlin surfaced
after the Daytona 500, when
the two exchanged barbs on
Twitter.
Before Fontana, the two near-
ly came to blows at Bristol af-
ter Hamlin spun Logano while
Logano chased Jeff Gordon for
a late lead. Logano yelled into
Hamlin’s car after the race,
sparking a brief confrontation
between their teams.
Then came the wreck in Cal-
ifornia, and the presumption
that Logano had contact with
Hamlin as payback. Penske
doesn’t buy it.
“These guys are racing hard,
and it’s the last lap and it’s just
the way the cars got together,”
Penske said.

Homecoming for Larranaga as Miami faces Marquette
By JOSEPH WHITE
AP Sports Writer
WASHINGTON — Jim Larranaga
smiled and raised both hands to ac-
knowledge the fans in green — those
from both Miami and George Mason
— as he walked onto the court where
he become part of a national sensation
seven years ago.
He signed autographs, posed for pic-
tures and was about to turn his atten-
tion to practice when he spotted two
special people: Lamar Butler and Tony
Skinn, starters from the 2006 GMU
team. Larranaga hugged them both
and reminisced about “you guys run-
ning over to our section” of fans at the
final whistle to celebrate the win over
Connecticut that sent the mid-major
Patriots to the Final Four.
“This is not just any other arena,”
the coach said.
No, it’s not. This is the Verizon Cen-
ter, where Larranaga convinced his
players that the CAA on their jerseys
stood for “Connecticut Assassin As-
sociation” instead of the Colonial Ath-
letic Association. It’s where it became
believable again that an out-of-the-blue
school could advance to college bas-
ketball’s biggest stage, paving the way
for similar runs by Virginia Common-
wealth and Butler.
And, on Wednesday, it’s where Lar-
ranaga gathered his players in a circle
at midcourt after warmups and told
them: “You know why they call it the
Sweet 16? It’s sweet! Let’s go.”
Yep, still the same ol’ Larranaga.
“To them I’m kind of wacky, you
know?” he said. “I say a lot of things
to them and initially they don’t under-
stand. I use quotes and our thought of
the day. I ask them to explain it, they
have no idea, and I have to then edu-
cate them of what we’re trying to get
across. Coming into this building, to
them it’s just another venue, but to me
and my staff, it’s not.”
He’s now in a different league now,
leading Atlantic Coast Conference
champion and top seed Miami (29-
6) against fourth-seeded Marquette
(25-8) in Thursday’s East Regional
semifinals, but no one else goes viral
quite like this: Larranaga’s version of
the Ali Shuffle, meant to demonstrate
the Hurricanes’ fighting mentality,
became an Internet must-see after he
performed it for his players following
Sunday night’s win over Illinois.
“His approach to the game is dif-
ferent,” senior forward Julian Gamble
said. “It’s very different to the coaching
staff that we had previous to him arriv-
ing, but his charisma and the energy
he brought, we knew it was going to
be a really good thing for us, and it was
easy for us to buy into that.”
Meanwhile, Marquette coach Buzz
Williams’ arrival in the nation’s capi-
tal was no match for his counterpart’s
homecoming, even though the Golden
Eagles have been on a compelling run
of their own.
Marquette won its first two games
by a combined three points, both with
wipe-your-brow late comebacks. Wil-
liams’ wife had an appendectomy just
before the start of the tournament. He
was speaking his mind as usual Wednes-
day, saying that the opening statement
at NCAA news conferences is “a waste
of time” and telling a reporter who
asked a repeat question to get the an-
swer “off this lady here transcribing it”
on the stenography machine.

Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim (center) has his team ready for one of the tournament’s marquee games as his Orange face top-seeded Indiana tonight in
Washington.
WASHINGTON — Yelps of support
and echoing applause greeted the voice
booming over the loudspeakers Wednes-
day at the scheduled start of practice for
the East Regional’s fourthseed: “Coached
by JimBoeheim, please welcome the Syr-
acuse Orange!”
And … nothing. No sign of Boeheim or
any of his players. Not until 6½ minutes
later did they finally make their way onto
the court they’ll return tonight to face
No. 1 seed Indiana in the NCAA tourna-
ment’s round of 16.
Syracuse never really did show up the
last time it played a game at this arena:
The Orange lost their Big East regular-
season finale three weeks ago against
host Georgetown 61-39, their fewest
points since December 1962 and fourth
loss in five games.
“I can’t remember that game,”
Boeheim deadpanned Wednesday, face
straight and arms crossed. “Just can’t re-
member.”
Maybe so. But
since that disappoint-
ing performance, Syr-
acuse (28-9) has gone
on a run, winning five
of its last six games
to reach the Big East
tournament final and
join Indiana (29-6),
No. 2 Miami and No.
3 Marquette to form
the only group of
1-4 seeds left in any
NCAA region this
year.
It’s only the 15th
time since the tour-
nament expanded to
64 teams in 1985 —
and first since 2009
— that the four high-
est seeded teams ad-
vanced to the region-
al semifinals, according to STATS LLC.
“That probably is a little surprising,”
Indiana freshman guard Yogi Ferrell said.
“It shows that we are all high-level pro-
grams, and all great teams, and we know
how to win.”
No Florida Gulf Coasts in this crowd,
that’s for sure. This is a collection of col-
lege basketball’s big boys, with two teams
from the Big East, and one each from the
Big Ten and Atlantic Coast Conference.
Three of the four have won the national
title at least once, including Syracuse in
2003.
That championship, Boeheim said, al-
lowed him to finally move past his team’s
loss to Indiana in the 1987 final — aka
“The Keith Smart Game” — the last time
these two schools met in men’s basketball.
“When you lose a game like that, you
really almost never get over it,” Boeheim
said. “I got over it in 2003. I probably
thought about it for those (16) years,
most of the time. I never think about it
anymore.”
Syracuse will confront Indiana on
Thursday with its 2-3 zone, typically
tough for teams that aren’t used to see-
ing that sort of system.
As Indiana coach Tom Crean put it:
“The challenge never ceases.”
“No one plays a 2-3 zone the whole 40
minutes. We’ve never seen that before,”
said Ferrell, whose 146 assists (a 4.2 av-
erage) are the second-most in history by
an Indiana freshman, trailing only Isiah
Thomas’ 159 in 1979-80.
“You may think that a pass is there,
and it’s not there the next second. You
may throw it and get a turnover,” Ferrell
said. “Visually it’s going to be very tough
to find those openings, but if we move
well, we’ll be OK.”
Indiana — which got a visit Thursday
from Crean’s brother-in-law, Super Bowl
champion coach John Harbaugh of the
up-the-road Baltimore Ravens — was
ranked No. 1 in The Associated Press
preseason poll and spent more weeks at
the top spot than anyone else in 2012-13.
The Hoosiers were ledinscoring(16.7)
and rebounding (8.0) by sophomore for-
ward Cody Zeller. It’s junior guard Victor
Oladipo, however, who is the contender
for national player of the year honors.

Coaching
pals collide
as Arizona,
OSU meet
By GREG BEACHAM
AP Sports Writer
LOS ANGELES — Ever since
Thad Matta and Sean Miller
shared a tiny office at Miami of
Ohio nearly two decades ago, the
coaches’ friendship has survived
job changes, practical jokes and
a few hundred bucks in unpaid
lunch tabs.
They’ve worked together and
recruited against each other.
They’ve shared scouting tips and
sought job
advice. They
even briefly
lived under
the same
roof with
their entire
families.
“I wouldn’t
be here to-
day with-
out him,”
Miller said
Wednesday.
“I learned a
lot from him,
enjoyed be-
ing around
him when
we worked
together, and
we remain very good friends.”
They remained close after
their teams faced off in a memo-
rable Ohio State victory over
Xavier in the NCAA tournament
six years ago, and they’re still
close heading into their next
meeting Thursday at Staples
Center, when the second-seeded
Buckeyes (28-7) meet Miller’s
Arizona Wildcats (27-7) in the
West Region semifinals.
“I don’t like the fact that we’re
playing, but I’m happy as can be
for him,” Matta said.
The winner gets much more
than bragging rights between
best friends: While nobody in ei-
ther uniform would suggest this
game is the true regional final,
both teams realize the winner
of this meeting between pow-
erhouse basketball schools will
be a strong favorite to make the
Final Four. With underdogs La
Salle and Wichita State playing
the late game, Ohio State and
Arizona are the only seeds in the
top eight left in what looks like
the least attractive regional.
“We’re not caught up in the sex-
iness and all that,” Arizona guard
Mark Lyons said. “I feel like my
teammates are handsome, but
that’s (beside) the point.”
Both teams have a mix of vet-
eran talent and emerging young-
sters, leading to a few marquee
positional matchups that are
tough for both coaches to pre-
dict.
Ohio State hero Aaron Craft
faces a stiff challenge against
Lyons, the ball-hawking guard
described by Miller as the hoops
equivalent of a running quar-
terback. Deshaun Thomas, the
Buckeyes’ leading scorer, will
be checked on most possessions
by Solomon Hill, the Wildcats’
rangy senior from Los Angeles.
Wichita State and La Salle believe, even if not many others do
By BETH HARRIS
AP Sports Writer
LOS ANGELES — Wichita State
and La Salle busted a few brackets
with their early wins in the NCAA
tournament. Now they’re in the
final 16 and playing a short drive
from Hollywood. Just don’t script
their matchup as a meeting of un-
derdogs.
These guys think they’ve got a lot
of credibility, even if large chunks
of the country didn’t pay them any
attention until now.
“The beautiful thing about the
NCAA tournament is to see great
teams that you don’t see every
night and to see different players
that you might see some day at the
next level,” La Salle coach John Gi-
annini said.
The ninth-seeded Shockers (28-8)
and No. 13 Explorers (24-9) meet in
the second West Regional semifinal
on Thursday night at Staples Cen-
ter, where Kobe Bryant of the Lak-
ers and Blake Griffin of the Clippers
can usually be found changing out-
comes with last-second jumpers or
highlight-reel dunks.
Ramon Galloway of La Salle
couldn’t resist creating some of
his own NBA-style moves at the
end of Wednesday’s open practice.
The senior guard, one of four Phil-
adelphia-bred players on the team,
showed off what he called “dunk-
contest dunks.”
“When the game time comes, if I
can get a fast break, hopefully I can
show the world what I can do,” he
said.
The Explorers and the Shock-
ers have proud pasts in the tour-
nament; they occurred just long
enough ago to have fallen off the
current radar. La Salle was the 1954
national champion; Wichita State
made the 1965 Final Four.
“We’re not rags to riches,” said
Giannini, whose Ph.D. in kinesiol-
ogy earned him the title of Dr. in
front of his name. “Maybe people
are surprised we’ve won three in a
row. But we’ve beaten good teams
all year.”
And the Explorers will have to
beat another one to continue their
tournament road trip that began
2,754 miles ago in Dayton, Ohio,
where they won a play-in game
against Boise State to get into the
NCAAs. Then they took out Kan-
sas State and Mississippi by a com-
bined four points in Kansas City, and
haven’t been back to Philly since.
“If we would have gone home, we
might have lost focus just enough
to slip up a little bit,” guard Tyreek
Duren said.
Indeed, their city has embraced
the team. The 76ers posted a good
luck message for the Explorers
on the video board at Wednesday
night’s game that was greeted with
an ovation.
“We didn’t have that support all
year,” Galloway said. “When you do
stuff and people get to see you, then
they actually praise you. I’m just
glad that we’ve got the opportunity
to play on national television, in
front of everybody, so everybody
can see what La Salle stands for.”

IOC backs Rio preps after stadium closure
The Associated Press
LAUSANNE, Switzerland —
The IOC expressed confidence
Wednesday in Rio de Janeiro’s
preparations for the 2016 Olym-
pics despite the temporary clo-
sure of the stadiumthat will host
track and field events.
Rio authorities said they de-
cided to shut the Joao Havelange
Stadium because of structural
problems with the roof.
IOC spokesman Mark Adams
said the stadium closure was no
reason for alarm.
“There are still more than 3½
years to go before the games and
we are absolutely confident that
they will deliver,” he told The
Associated Press.
Track and field’s governing
body said it is monitoring the
situation.
“We have noted this and will
keep a very close eye on develop-
ments,” IAAF spokesman Nick
Davies told the AP.
Rio officials said Wednesday
there is no timetable for the sta-
dium’s reopening, but the ven-
ue’s preparations for the games
should not be affected.
“We are continuing with the
Olympic projects, they are our
responsibility,” said Armando
Queiroga, president of Rio’s de-
partment in charge of the sta-
dium. “We are very confident in
what we planned to do.”
IOC executive director Gilbert
Felli reiterated this will be a cru-
cial year for Rio organizers.
“The games are very compli-
cated to organize,” he said in
Istanbul, where the IOC was as-
sessing the Turkish city’s bid for
the 2020 Olympics. “The scope is
huge. You always have, during the
seven years, some key parts. Each
organizing committee reaches at
some point some difficulty.
“Rio (is) in a key period of
delivering the facilities. And as
such you have some key moni-
toring to have. We are not con-
cerned that the Brazilians will
not be able to deliver the games.”

PHILADELPHIA — Spencer
Hawes had 15 points and a
career-high 17 rebounds, Jrue
Holiday and Damien Wilkins
each scored 18 points, and the
Philadelphia 76ers beat the
Milwaukee Bucks 100-92 on
Wednesday night.
Thaddeus Young and Dorell
Wright both scored 14 points for
a Sixers team that put six play-
ers in double figures. The Sixers
returned from a 1-3 road trip to
win their third straight game
at home. On Fan Appreciation
Night, the Sixers gave them
something to feel good about.
Brandon Jennings was score-
less for Milwaukee and benched
in the fourth quarter. Monta
Ellis scored 29 points for the
Bucks. Ersan Ilyasova had 13
points and 18 rebounds.
The Sixers wasted an 18-point
lead and needed to find their
touch from 3-point range to get
back into this one. Wright gave
them a one-point with a 3-point-
er and Holiday followed with
another to make it 93-87. Evan
Turner, who scored 13, made
Philadelphia’s eighth 3-pointer
and the lead was up to nine.
From there the Sixers mas-
saged the lead until they hit 98
points with a minute left. With
the crowd of 16,640 bellow-
ing “We want Big Macs!” if the
Sixers hit 100 points, Wilkins
obliged with a thunderous dunk
that sent fans into a frenzy.
Fast food is about the only
way to satisfy a Sixers fan this
year after a season full of prom-
ise collapsed under Andrew
Bynum’s balky knees.
The Bucks are in eighth place
in the Eastern Conference and
entered only 1½ games behind
Boston for seventh and the
chance to avoid a first-round
series against Miami.
Ellis took control in the third
to help the Bucks grab the lead
after a tough first half. He twice
hit tying shots in the quarter as
Milwaukee was 13 of 25 from
the field. Mike Dunleavy hit a 3
to help them take a 78-76 lead
into the fourth.
Bobcats 114, Magic 108
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Gerald
Henderson and Kemba Walker
each scored 34 points, and the
Charlotte Bobcats handed the
injury-riddled Orlando Magic
their eighth straight loss in a
matchup of the NBA’s worst
teams.
The Bobcats erased a
19-point, first-quarter deficit
behind the shooting of Hender-
son, who finished 12 of 18 from
the field and 9 of 10 from the
foul line.
Walker did a little bit of every-
thing, dishing out nine assists
and grabbing seven rebounds as
the Bobcats won for the fourth
time in five games at home.
Tobias Harris had a career-
high 29 points and nine
rebounds, and rookie Kyle
O’Quinn had a career-high 23
points and 11 rebounds for the
Magic.
Celtics 93, Cavaliers 92
CLEVELAND — Jeff Green
scored 21 points and hit the
winning layup at the buzzer,
and the Boston Celtics snapped
a five-game losing streak with
a 93-92 win over the Cleveland
Cavaliers on Wednesday night.
Brandon Bass scored 22
points to lead the Celtics, who
rallied from a 14-point deficit
in the fourth quarter to avoid
matching their longest skid of
the season. Boston had dropped
seven of nine to fall into seventh
place in the Eastern Conference
— 2½ games ahead of Milwau-
kee.
After Cleveland’s Alonzo Gee
knocked the ball out of bounds
with 2.1 seconds left, Green
took an inbound pass from
Avery Bradley at the top of the
key, drove into the lane and
scored over two defenders as
time expired.
Wayne Ellington scored 16
points to lead Cleveland, which
has lost six in a row to match a
season high.
Hawks 107, Raptors 88
TORONTO — Al Horford
scored 10 of his 26 points in the
fourth quarter, Jeff Teague had
24 points and 13 assists and the
Atlanta Hawks clinched a play-
off berth for the sixth straight
season, beating the Toronto
Raptors.
Josh Smith added 19 points
for the Hawks, who used a 16-0
run midway through the fourth
to win for the 13th time in the
last 15 meetings with the Rap-
tors.
Horford reached double digits
for the 31st consecutive game,
the second-longest streak of his
career. He did it in 33 straight
games in 2009-10.
Jonas Valanciunas scored 19
points, DeMar DeRozan had 14,
Terrence Ross had 13 and Alan
Anderson 12 for the Raptors,
who have lost four straight and
11 of 14.
Knicks 108, Grizzlies 101
NEW YORK — J.R. Smith
scored 35 points, his second
straight 30-point game, and the
New York Knicks withstood a
furious rally to beat the Mem-
phis Grizzlies.
Carmelo Anthony added 22
points and Iman Shumpert had
16 as the Knicks tied a season
high with their sixth straight
win.
Smith scored 32 points
against the Boston Celtics on
Tuesday.
After trailing by as many as 30
points early in the second half,
the Grizzlies cut their deficit to
103-99 on Tony Allen’s two free
throws with 33 seconds left.
However, they got no closer
as Raymond Felton, Smith and
Anthony scored the game’s next
five points at the free throw line.
Pacers 100, Rockets 91
HOUSTON — Roy Hibbert
scored a season-high 28 points
and grabbed 13 rebounds, and
Lance Stephenson added a
season-high 21 points to lead
the Indiana Pacers to a victory
over the Houston Rockets.
The Pacers never trailed and
led by as many as 19 points.
Houston made several runs,
once cutting the lead to four
points, but Indiana answered
each time to stay on top and
hold on for the victory.
The Central Division-leading
Pacers weren’t back to full
strength on Wednesday. But
they certainly got a boost from
the return of Stephenson, who
missed Indiana’s last game with
a strained right hip flexor, and
George Hill, out last game with
a strained left groin.
The loss snapped a three-
game winning streak for Hous-
ton, which is seventh in the
Western conference. The Rock-
ets were led by James Harden’s
22 points and eight assists.
Lakers 120,
Timberwolves 117
MINNEAPOLIS — Kobe
Bryant had 31 points and seven
assists and Dwight Howard had
25 points, 16 rebounds and five
blocks to lead the Los Angeles
Lakers to a victory over Min-
nesota, their 22nd straight win
over the Timberwolves.
Pau Gasol added 17 points
and nine rebounds for the
Lakers, who had lost three in a
row and were playing their first
game without defensive stopper
Metta World Peace. He will have
surgery on a torn meniscus on
Thursday, leaving the Lakers to
chase the playoffs without him.
Nikola Pekovic had 19 points
and 16 rebounds for the Tim-
berwolves, who haven’t beaten
the Lakers since March 2007.
That was before injured All-Star
Kevin Love was even in college.
Clippers 105, Hornets 91
NEW ORLEANS — Blake
Griffin scored 19 points, Chris
Paul added 16 points and nine
assists, and the Los Angeles
Clippers beat the New Orleans
Hornets.
Caron Butler and Jamal
Crawford each scored 13 for the
Clippers, who were playing one
night after falling in overtime at
Dallas. Chauncey Billups briefly
returned from a right groin
strain to score 11 points before
leaving the game with the same
injury. But the Clippers opened
up a 13-point lead in the fourth
quarter and pulled even with
Denver for the third-best record
(49-23) in the Western Confer-
ence.
Eric Gordon scored 24 and
Anthony Davis had 19 points
and nine rebounds for New Or-
leans, which had its three-game
winning streak snapped.
Thunder 103, Wizards 80
OKLAHOMA CITY — Rus-
sell Westbrook scored 21 points,
Kevin Durant added 20 and the
Oklahoma City Thunder beat
the Washington Wizards.
Kevin Martin had 18 points
for the Thunder, who came in
1½ games behind San Antonio
for the top spot in the Western
Conference. San Antonio was
hosting Denver.
Washington had won its previ-
ous two games against Okla-
homa City, winning the only
meeting during the lockout-
shortened 2011-12 season before
stunning the Thunder 101-99
in Washington on Jan. 7 — the
second despite playing without
point guard John Wall.

longest winning streak in the
history of American major pro
sports, behind only the Lakers.
And some of those who helped
that 33-game run become real-
ity were openly cheering for the
Heat as Miami’s streak rolled
along, with Jerry West among
those saying that he believed
the reigning champions had a
real shot at pulling the feat off.
The streak began on Super
Bowl Sunday in Toronto, a day
when Heat players were mildly
annoyed about having to miss
football’s title game. When San
Francisco and Baltimore were
to be playing, the Heat were to
be flying home for a game the
following night.
So team officials team
changed course, as a surprise.
Miami beat Toronto that af-
ternoon, then stayed in the city
several more hours to watch
the Super Bowl together, an
event highlighted by Shane Bat-
tier giving an unplanned speech
about appreciating little mo-
ments as a team.
For whatever reason, the
Heat were unbeatable for near-
ly the next two months.
“There are several teams
that can do it,” Pistons guard
Jose Calderon said, when asked
what it would take for someone
to beat Miami. “It’s difficult to
maintain this concentration ev-
ery day. It will likely take every-
one to have a bad day.”

Iowa ends Virginia’s
home winning streak
The Associated Press
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.
— Roy Devyn Marble scored
24 points and Iowa ended Vir-
ginia’s 19-game home winning
streak with a 75-64 victory
in the NIT quarterfinals on
Wednesday night, earning the
Hawkeyes a trip to Madison
Square Garden.
Marble’s 3-pointer with 13:02
to play gave Iowa (24-12) a 42-
41 lead and sparked a 19-5 run
that also featured six points
inside from Adam Woodbury
and 3-pointers by Josh Oglesby
and Zach McCabe. McCabe’s
finished the run, putting the
Hawkeyes ahead 58-46 with
5:18 to play.
Justin Anderson scored a
career-high 24 points to lead
Virginia (23-12), but the Cava-
liers had no answer once the
Hawkeyes took charge.
It was only the second home
loss for the Cavaliers, and both
denied them a trip to New
York. The first came against
Delaware in the Preseason
NIT, also with a trip to Madi-
son Square Garden on the line,
and had been Virginia’s last
home loss.
BYU 79, Southern Miss 62
HATTIESBURG, Miss. —
Tyler Haws scored 25 points,
Brock Zylstra added 23 and
BYU cruised to a victory over
Southern Mississippi in the
NIT quarterfinals.
BYU (24-11) went on an 11-0
run early in the first half and
never trailed again, leading
by double digits the entire
second half. Zylstra drilled five
3-pointers in the first half and
the Cougars shot 11 of 27 (40.7
percent) from long range.
Brandon Davies added 12
points and 13 rebounds.
Southern Miss (27-10) lost
at home for just the second
time in two seasons. Daveon
Boardingham led the Golden
Eagles with 18 points and Jer-
rold Brooks added 13.
The Cougars will next face
either Providence or Baylor
in the semifinals of the NIT
at Madison Square Garden in
New York.
Canadiens top Bruins in shootout
The Associated Press
BOSTON — Andrei Markov
tied it with 8.2 seconds left in
regulation, and Brendan Galla-
gher scored the only shootout
goal to give the Montreal Ca-
nadiens a 6-5 victory over the
Boston Bruins on Wednesday
night.
The victory snapped a tie for
the second-most points in the
Eastern Conference, giving the
Canadiens 47. They lead the
Northeast Division by a point
over the Bruins.
In the shootout, all six Bruins
players were stopped. The first
five Canadiens couldn’t score,
either. Then Gallagher put the
puck between Tuukka Rask’s
pads.
It capped a comeback after
Boston had taken a 5-3 lead on
Tyler Seguin’s 11th goal of the
season at 11:50 of the third pe-
riod. Gallagher scored 28 sec-
onds later, then Markov tied it
on a power play.

PSU professor wins award
Charles Ghilani, professor of engi-
neering at Penn State Wilkes-Barre, is
one of two 2013 recipients of the Milton
S. Eisenhower Award for Distinguished
Teaching.
The award recognizes excellence in
teaching and student support among ten-
ured faculty who have
been employed full
time for at least five
years with undergradu-
ate teaching as a major
portion of their duties.
Milton S. Eisen-
hower, brother of for-
mer U.S. President
Dwight D. Eisenhow-
er, served as president
of Penn State from 1950 to 1956.
A faculty member since 1989, Ghilani
designed the bachelor’s degree in survey-
ing engineering. Ghilani was honored at
a ceremony this week in State College.
Airline merger looking up
A federal bankruptcy judge signaled
his support for the $11 billion merger
of American Airlines and US Airways.
But Judge Sean H. Lane deferred giv-
ing his official blessing until he could
further consider the timing of a sever-
ance package for outgoing American
CEO Tom Horton.
“The merger is an excellent result. I
don’t think anybody disputes that,” Lane
said Wednesday during a court hearing.
American has been in bankruptcy protec-
tion since November 2011.
The companies have proposed pay-
ing Horton $20 million in severance.
Horton has agreed to step down as
CEO and leave the company within a
year of the merger’s closing. The U.S.
trustee objected to Horton’s severance,
saying it is in excess of limits set under
the bankruptcy code.
Cyprus limits withdrawals
Cypriots will only be allowed to with-
draw 300 euros ($383) in cash each day
when the country’s banks open for the
first time in more than a week today,
the state news agency says.
Credit or debit card payments
abroad will be capped at 5,000 eu-
ros a day, while no checks will be
cashed, although they can be depos-
ited in bank accounts, the agency said
Wednesday.
Meanwhile, armed police officers
guarded several trucks carrying con-
tainers arriving at the country’s Central
Bank in Nicosia. A helicopter hovered
overhead.

with small
children face
an interest-
ing set of
problems
when it
comes to
technology:
Howdo you allowyour child
the use of a computer without
constantly worrying what he
or she is getting into?
Most children are perfectly
capable of getting a computer
connected to a Wi-Fi network,
and parental controls built into
existing PCs are either overly
complex, too easy to bypass
or aren’t flexible enough to be
practical.
Almost as important: How
do you allowthat child to use
devices that are sometimes
fragile or cost hundreds, or
even thousands, of dollars
without worrying that it’s go-
ing to be broken?
Astartup company called
“ZeroDesktop” aims to solve
these problems with it’s $99
MiiPC.
MiiPCis a mini-computer
based on Google’s Android
operating system, and can be
connected to either a com-
puter monitor or a regular
TV. It includes all of the basic
functionality you’d expect from
a computer —you can browse
the web, create and edit files,
watch movies or play games.
What’s different about Mi-
iPCis that it’s been designed
fromthe ground up to provide
a safe computing environment
for children. Each child has a
separate account that she can
log into, and controls can be
set on a case-by-case basis for
what websites, programs and
activities she can use - even
down to what time she’s al-
lowed to use the device.
Parents have the abil-
ity to remotely monitor
what’s going on with
the MiiPC—whether
or not the device is on,
who’s using it, who
recently used it and what
programs have been used, via
an Android or iPhone app, or
over the web. They also can
remotely change permissions
on the MiiPCto allowor
remove access to programs or
websites. Time limits can be
set up for individual websites
as well as apps, so if your child
has been playing “Angry Birds”
for the past four hours instead
of doing homework, you can
cut themoff.
MiiPCalso has full access
to the Google Play app store
—so just about ANY Android
app can be added to the
MiiPC.
The Android OS is a
bit more tamper-proof
than a typical PCenvi-
ronment, and because
each child has his own
account, the amount of trouble
he can cause is limited.
While there are a lot of other
cheap Android-based devices,
and relatively cheap PCs out
there, I don’t think I’ve seen
anything that integrates the
“family-friendly” features of-
fered by the MiiPCnearly as
well.
And frankly, the target audi-
ence could just as easily consti-
tute adults and the elderly.
I knowa lot of people who
would love to play “Angry
Birds” on their TV, or who
want their parents to surf the
web, without having to fix
their computer every time they
download spyware.
The MiiPCis powerful
enough to handle either of
those tasks without a problem.
The MiiPCwill cost $99 and
should be available by Septem-
ber 2013.

A
n investment group is
close to finalizing a deal
to buy Snö Mountain ski
area and water park and
reopen it under the previous Mon-
tage Mountain name in time for Me-
morial Day, according to one of the
investors.
Montage Mountain resorts LP,
which includes Montgomery County
real estate developer Charles Jefferson,
is in negotiations with DFM realty, an
affiliate of National Penn Bank, a Boy-
ertown bank that bid $4.6 million at an
auction last month to secure the bank-
rupt property that includes 440 acres
and all amenities. The bank was the
largest secured creditor.
Jefferson, 47, said the group has
“a deal in principle.” It will spend
about $8.3 million, including a pur-
chase price of about $5.1 million, on
the property. That total includes up-
grades and improvements. A closing
is expected by the end of April.
“I think there’s an opportunity
there,” said Jefferson, who noted
the goal is “to make sure the place
doesn’t skip a beat” and seamlessly
transitions into another season.
Mark Verrastro, the general man-
ager of Snö Mountain, said he has
spoken to Jefferson and is excited
that an investment group with lo-
cal ties is interested in acquiring
the resort. Jefferson’s company, Jef-
ferson-Werner, was involved in the
$23 million conversion of the Con-
nell Building on North Washington
Avenue into the Connell Lofts and
invested $8.6 million to rehabilitate
the former Scranton Chamber of
Commerce Building on Mulberry
Street. Both are now mixed-use res-
idential and commercial complexes.
“The future is bright,” Verrastro
said, adding, “I’m excited to see the
future.” Staff members also are anx-
ious to see what will happen to the
property, he said.
As the bank and the investment
group negotiate, he is confident
the mountain will reopen this year
under the name it hung on its ban-
ner from its opening in 1983 until
Lackawanna County sold it in 2006.
“It’s going to be Montage Moun-
tain,” Verrastro said. “Basically,
Montage is back.”
Jefferson said the decision to pull
the Montage Mountain name out of
mothballs wasn’t a hard one.
He said people have fond memo-
ries of the resort with that name and
to drive past the Montage Mountain
road exit off I-81 gets that resort
name into people’s mind.
Verrastro said the mountain’s custom-
ers will respond. He has already received
calls about tickets for the water park sea-
son at what has been called Snö Cove,
he said. That name is likely going to
be abandoned and renamed Montage
Mountain Water Park or something like
that, he said. He is telling people the
park, under whatever name it will have,
is expected to reopen May 25.
That’s something Jefferson con-
curs with.
“There’s no doubt in my mind
we’ll be open May 25.”
The drama behind the scenes
with bankruptcy, auctions and soon
a potential sale, took attention
away from what Verrastro said was
one of the resort’s better seasons in
recent years. “I think the year was
great. We were very fortunate with
the weather,” said Verrastro, who
did not have access to the financials
to give detailed data because of the
bankruptcy issue.

Yoga clothier
gets perfectly
clear about
return policy
NEW YOrK — No “downward-
facing dog” is required.
Lululemon said Wednesday that
no demonstrations of yoga or any
other positions are needed to return
the pricey black yoga pants that the
company pulled from shelves last
week after finding that they were too
sheer.
“We do not require guests to dem-
onstrate the sheerness of their bot-
toms,” said Sari Martin, who works
for communications firm ICr and
spoke on behalf of Lululemon.
The Vancouver-based yoga gear
maker’s statement comes a day af-
ter a New York Post report that was
widely circulated by the news media
recounted one woman’s tale of being
asked by sales staff to bend over to
prove that the yoga pants she was
trying to return were sheer.
“The sales associate then perused
my butt in the dim lighting of the
change room and deemed them ‘not
sheer,’ ” the woman, Christina Phil-
lips of Toronto, told The New York
Post.
Martinwouldnot comment onthe
specific instance recounted by the
Post, but said Wednesday that this
is not standard policy for Lululemon
staffers. To the contrary, she said
that people who bought the black
“Luon” yoga pants, which cost $72
to $98, since March 1, either online
or in store, can return themfor a full
refund, “no questions asked.”

Ask friends how many emails
they have sitting in their inbox or
how many photos are saved to their
laptop, and don’t be surprised if the
numbers tally in the thousands.
Some of us have a difficult time
knowing how to organize all of this
digital information, from emails
and documents to uploaded photos
and downloaded songs. We hoard
because we can: Today’s computer
memory can handle it, and our email
providers offer
seemingly infinite
storage space.
Take Peggy
Stempson, associ-
ate pastor at Pierre
First United Meth-
odist Church in
Pierre, S.D., who
hangs onto at least
4,000 emails, many
of them part of long
conversations with
friends going back
five years or more.
“They spark
memories, and con-
nect me with people
and help me contact
them,” says Stemp-
son, 30. “It’s kind of
like a diary.”
All of this digi-
tal detritus is not
a problem unless
it interferes with your life, work or
happiness, according to Tim Kasser,
a psychology professor at Knox Col-
lege, in Galesburg, Ill.
“If this acquisition of ‘e’ stuff ends
up leading to a lifestyle that forces
you to have less time for your family,
or less time to draw or play music or
run around in a park, or less time to
be involved in your community, then
I would say that to me is a problem,”
Kasser says. “I can see how that hap-
pens with electronic stuff.”
Thank goodness there are experts
to help extend spring cleaning to the
digital realm.
Start the de-cluttering process
slowly, advises Danielle Claro, editor-
at-large at “Real Simple” magazine.
“If you’re intimidated by it, you
need someone to hold your hand —
either a friend or a teenager,” she
says, noting that she’d probably en-
list her own teen.
Allison Carter of Atlanta gets paid
to help people find their way through
the digital morass. She helps clients
streamline emails, organize finances,
manage documents and photos, and
back it all up.
“The digital world, it’s about find-
ing things, making your life more ef-
ficient, enjoying things, rather than
having them only live in the dark-
ness of your hard drive,” says Carter,
whose business is called Digital Life
Organizing.
Controlling the email torrent is of-
ten the most daunting challenge, she
says.
“I like my active to-do’s and ongo-
ing projects to be in my inbox until
I’ve tackled them,” says Carter, but
that’s all that should be there.
For important emails, she recom-
mends setting up action reminders
and recommends Google’s free on-
line calendar. Others include Zoho
Calendar and the Cozi Family Orga-
nizer, which also are free.
Gmail users can retrieve unread
emails by typing “is:unread” into
the search field, then delete ignored
emails in large chunks. That’s a favor-
ite Claro tip.

“The digital

your life more
efficient, en-
joying things,
rather than
having them
only live in
the darkness
of your hard
drive.”
Stressing over which friends and/or
relatives will be bridesmaids? Choos-
ing a bridal party is no laughing mat-
ter. Review these deciding factors, and
the selection process will be a breeze.
1. How many maids?
One of the first things to consider
when selecting your bridal party is how
many guests you’re planning to invite.
While bridal parties can range anywhere
from a single maid/matron of honor
to more than a dozen attendants, most
wedding experts agree that a good rule
of thumb is to have one groomsman and
one corresponding bridesmaid for every
50 guests. (This doesn’t mean, though,
that you have to go ask a stranger to be
in your wedding just because your fian-
ce has one more attendant than you do.
Life will go on if you have uneven num-
bers of groomsmen and bridesmaids.)
Also, a large wedding party traditionally
signifies a formal wedding. So if you’re
planning a small, intimate gathering, 10
bridesmaids might be a bit too much.
2. More isn’t merrier
Speaking of size, remember that the
more bridesmaids you have, the great-
er the potential for complications. In
other words, you’ll need to get more
people to agree on a dress or decide on
a bridal-shower date. And if you’re on
a limited budget, think about who has
to pay for all those bridesmaids bou-
quets. That’s right — you.
3 Blood is thicker than water
If you’re close to your sister or future
sister-in-law, the thought of not includ-
ing them in your wedding party prob-
ably never even occurred to you. But
if you suffer from a serious Jan Brady
complex, the thought of asking your
sister (or sister-in-law) to be a brides-
maid probably ranks right up there
with getting a football in the nose.
Still, it’s usually worth including fam-
ily members just to avoid unnecessary
conflict. Think of it as having more
bargaining power when you’re battling
with your mom over the guest list.
4. No backsies
You don’t need to ask someone to
be in your wedding just because she
asked you to be in her wedding. Don’t
ask the college roommate you haven’t
spoken to in five years just to return
the favor. Weddings are no time for
quid pro quo. Period.
5. Location, location

The important thing — no mat-
ter how your look turns out — is to
make it seem purposeful, not like
you were caught off-guard, says Lin-
da Wells, editor-in-chief of Allure
magazine. It’s better to start with,
say, tousled hair than try to undo or
redo a manicured, sleek style on a
day that the weather will win.
That’s not to say you should
give up altogether, says Bliss Spa
President Mike Indursky. Once
you put on the old clothes and
scuffed shoes, skip your hair and
makeup, and use the broken um-
brella, you’ll find your mood nose-
dives and cannot be fixed with a
reapplication of mascara. “There
is no reason not to be the ray of
sunshine when you walk in some-
where. The weather could be bad
out, but that’s already happened.
You can walk into the office, to
a restaurant, to a party, and say,
‘From this point on, everything is
going to be fantastic.’ ”
Some pre-emptive steps —and
quick easy fixes:
• Pay attention to the forecast.

EW YORK — It’s not a question of if you’ll be caught in a
springtime shower; it’s a question of when.
The key to looking your best when it does rain is taking
a relaxed attitude, experts say. On those days, don’t try a compli-
cated hairstyle or a dramatic smoky eye.
“Enjoy the moment to be simple,” says Melissa Silver, Maybel-
line New York makeup artist. “Why fight it?”

like doing a juice fast or some-
thing,” she says.
Carter likes the app Remem-
ber the Milk for managing tasks
online. Manage your family’s
activities via Cozi. Or link ev-
erything — email, calendars, re-
minders and more — with a sys-
tem that pulls all of your work
and home-life activities into one
online site, such as at IQTELL.
“That’s the wave that’s com-
ing next,” Carter says. “You’re
going to have a place to have it
all in one spot.”
And that one spot? Well, it’s
not on your computer. Rather,
it’s on a remote public server —
what’s referred to as “the cloud.”
Two free, cloud-based sites
that may help unclog your in-
box and desktop are Springpad
and Evernote, Carter says. Users
can store notes, recipes, pho-
tos, newspaper articles — even
snapshots of Web pages.
“Bookmarks are outdated,”
Carter says.
Keep track of important docu-
ments at File This, and receive
notifications of bills and auto-
matically pay them — reducing
emails, she says.
Shawn Whyte, an informa-
tion technology consultant in
Helena, Mont., recently moved
thousands of documents, songs,
books and photos from six old
computers and personal laptops
to a newer one with monster
memory (2 TB, or terabytes).
Her favorite tip? If you’re a
Google gmail user, view and
manage your emails through
Microsoft Outlook. If you have
other email accounts, they all
can be viewed via Outlook. It’s a
time-saver, Whyte says.
“You can sort and move 200
emails at once,” she says. “I sort-
ed and deleted 5,000 emails in 3
hours.”
Google it, Whyte says, to find
out howto configure an Outlook
gmail account. An alternative is
Mozilla’s Thunderbird.
Some photo-saving tips: Get a
program, such as Snapfish, Shut-
terfly, Google’s Picasa or others,
to edit, store and share your
photos, Carter says. Use Linea
to organize your images fast.
Use the app Lost Photos to dig
up images forgotten in long-ago
emails.
“Don’t get hung up on being
perfect or being orderly,” Carter
says. “They don’t even have to
be in time order to enjoy them.
It’s fun to have them mixed up:
You can see howpeople change.”
Finally, Carter says, you have to
back up your computer to protect
all those emails, photos and docu-
ments from suddenly disappear-
ing. She likes CrashPlan, Carbo-
nite and Mozy, which are online,
cloud-storing, backup services.
“Having things in the cloud
is really going to change things
in the next generation,” Carter
says. “Older folks, we’re not
used to it. We’re leery of it.”
Your information in the cloud
can be encrypted, Whyte says,
and only you can see it.
“It’s good to be concerned
about privacy but not so much
that it hinders you,” she says.
“There are reputable companies
out there that are good at this.”
If your busy life has room for
only one digital change, let it be
protecting your data.
“Keep your data safe and back
it up,” Whyte says.

maids? Will simple moral support
suffice, or do you expect them to
be your personal Pollyannas, ad-
dressing wedding invitations and
tying tiny ribbons around your
wedding favors? If it’s the latter,
think twice about asking friends
who live far away or who have
extremely hectic schedules. You
don’t want to find yourself getting
frustrated with a friend you knew
wouldn’t be able to give you all
the help you wanted.
6. Don’t assume
Try not to make hasty as-
sumptions. Don’t write off some
friends simply because you
think they don’t have enough
money to afford that Vera Wang
bridesmaid dress you have your
eye on. If you want to ask a
friend whom you know is hav-
ing financial difficulties, you can
always say something like, “I’d
love for you to be a bridesmaid,
but I understand the tough time
you’re going through now. If
you can’t do it, I’d love to find
something else for you to do in
the wedding.” (Or, you can offer
to pay her way if you can’t stand
the idea of her not being in the
wedding.)
7. Guys count
A bridesmaid doesn’t have to
be a woman. Despite the preva-
lence of feminine pronouns in
this guide, if your best friend is
a guy, there’s no reason why he
can’t be in your wedding. Today,
many brides (and grooms) are
including members of the oppo-
site sex as attendants. In these
cases, a man on the bride’s side
is simply called an attendant or
bridesman, while a woman on
the groom’s side can be called an
attendant or a groomswoman.
8. Other honors
Still stuck? Keep in mind that
there are plenty of other roles
good friends can play in your
wedding if they don’t make the
cut — do a reading, hand out
programs or perform a song.
9. Spread the news
Once you make up your mind
about your bridesmaids, you’ll
want to get the word out. The
only thing worse than a co-
worker who thinks she’s invited
to your wedding is a friend
who assumes she’s going to be
a bridesmaid. If you’re afraid
of hurting someone’s feelings,
remember that, as clichéd as it
sounds, any true friend will un-
derstand whatever decision you
ultimately make. And finally, the
sooner you make your decision,
the sooner you get to check off
one more box on your endless
wedding checklist.

ing, you won’t wear a white
chiffon dress, you wear some-
thing more durable. Do the
same thing with your makeup,”
Silver says.
• Next, know your hair type,
says Ammon Carver, artistic di-
rector for Matrix.
Surprisingly, curly or wavy
hair is going to be easier to
deal with, he says. Use a de-
frizzing gel on wet hair and
then let it air dry. Then you
can use a curling iron to seal
natural waves and curls and
limit frizz.
For straight hair, you need to
control the roots and the ends,
he says, suggesting a product
with at least a bit of oil, which
will repel water.
If you have fine hair and fear
flatness, Wells recommends
dry shampoo at the roots to
add volume, but you’ll want to
keep it dry outside to keep the
texture right. Keep running
your fingers through your
hair throughout the day for
bounce.
Wear your hair in a braid or
a bun when you’re going out.
You can take it out when you
get to your destination and
you’ll have more of the wave
you want anyway, but less hair
will have been exposed to the
elements.
• For makeup, revisit wa-
terproof products, which
have been modernized with
smoother textures and cream-
ier formulas, says Maybel-
line’s Silver. A bonus, she says:
Waterproof mascara holds curl
better, so she’ll also use it for
indoor photo shoots or when
her day turns into a day-to-
night schedule.
• Simplify the color palette.
One application of a single
shade of a long-wear, cream-
gel eye shadow that’s highly
pigmented will take you much
farther than mixing and match-
ing powders in humid weather,
Silver says.
Powder products, and this
goes for blush, too, will get
streaky when wet because the
water will clump together with
dry powder.
For cheeks, she likes a sili-
cone-fortified, oil-free gel blush
(such as Maybelline Dream
Bouncy Blush).
• Silver steers clear of lip
gloss on rainy days because
with the rain often comes
wind, and hair will get stuck
in the gloss and then create
whiskers when they’re freed.
Wells says a lip stain doesn’t
run the same risk of smudging
as lipstick.
• Take the pens at the bot-
tom of your purse and replace
them with cotton swabs, maybe
even the kind with preloaded
makeup remover. They’ll re-
move a smudge without taking
off too much.
• After a drenching, go to
the restroom that has a hand
dryer. “You hate them when
you have to dry your hands,
but you’ll love them for your
hair — and they’ll reactivate
your styling product,” Wells
says.
• When all else fails, carry a
headband and ponytail holder in
your bag, says Matrix’s Carver,
and make sure they have a more
Bohemian than refined vibe so
they’ll better match the less con-
trolled condition of your hair.
Bliss’ Indursky says the ul-
timate fallback is getting a
pedicure or an eyebrow wax —
something that’s not weather
related. “You would be amazed
at the strut women walk out of
here with.”

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: As a
law enforcement of-
ficer, I would like to
comment on your
reply to “Overpro-
tective Mom” (Dec.
26). I agree with
your solution to
have the boy who wouldn’t wear his
bike helmet because it was “uncool”
visit a facility that treats people with
traumatic brain injuries. However,
you missed a golden opportunity
to remind parents that they are the
parents, and because they are respon-
sible for their child’s safety, THEY are
in charge!
What has happened to plain old
“parenting”? Time and again, I
see children make their own rules be-
cause the parents have shrugged
off the responsibility of parenting.
You should have told them to tell
their child that if he won’t wear a
helmet, his bike will be taken away
until he does.
— Bill in Bartlesville,
Okla.
Dear Bill: You and many readers are
right. I DID overlook the issue of
parenting in my reply. Mea culpa!
Read on:
Dear Abby: Have “Overprotective
Mom” ask her son if he thinks fire-
fighters, fighter pilots, police officers
and football players are “uncool.”
They all wear helmets!
— James in Hastings, Neb.
Dear Abby: Not wearing a bike
helmet to be “cool” is knuckling
under to peer pressure. Those par-
ents should use this opportunity to
explain peer pressure and its conse-
quences to their son.
He needs to understand that he
must make decisions for himself, and
his “friends” should accept him for
who he is. He needs to learn to stand
his ground and be who he wants to
be despite what others think of him.
He also needs to learn to make deci-
sions that affect his life based on
facts, and not follow the crowd. True
friends will most often make the
same sound decisions that he makes,
or accept his decision without pres-
suring him.
One other comment: Require the
kid to wear a helmet or forfeit the
right to ride a bike. It’s called “tough
love” and although it is tough, it is
also rewarding. More parents need
to have sound, well-thought-out rules
and stick to them.
— Parent First, Friend Second
Dear Abby: Patients cannot be used
as exhibits, even with the best of
intentions. It would be unethical
and also illegal under HIPAA laws.
A better option would be to contact
the injury prevention office at a local
children’s hospital and ask for tips.
If your readers don’t live near one,
there are websites filled with helpful
information.
— Laurie in Dallas
Dear Abby: It’s true that there is no
state code law in Texas regarding
bicycle helmets, but many munici-
palities, including Dallas, have or-
dinances that require riders to wear
them. That mother should check her
city code.
— Concerned in Texas
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Parents should lay down the law on the importance of bike helmets

ARIES (March 21-April 19). An
increase in income usually
means an increase in responsibil-
ities, but not always. Sometimes
it actually means that people are
starting to understand the value
that was there all along.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You
give either your best or nothing
at all. You want to work smart
instead of hard, but most times
the work you do is both. Today
will represent most times.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). We are
all different. If that doesn’t seem
to be the case — if the people
you know are blending together
in sameness — then try to make
every person you know comfort-
able enough to bring their true
self to the picture.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). People
relate to you because of who
you are. It’s not so much what
you say or how you say it as it is
where you’re coming from and
what you want to do with that.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). This is a fine
time to do a personal inventory.
While you’re at it, make sure the
things you give your attention to
are really worth your time and
effort.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You feel
protective of the ones you love.
You can’t help that. It’s a won-
derful quality you possess, and
they will be flattered if they ever
get to see it in action — and they
might tonight!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Maybe
it’s not an entirely enlightened
thought, but loving and helping
yourself can sometimes feel like
a chore. In that case, give up
the self-help efforts, and just do
what feels natural.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). And
how about that person who is
exactly the way you want them
to be? Can you imagine anything
more boring? When you get the
wrench thrown into your social
works, consider it a blessing.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Did you sleep through your
alarm clock, or did you turn
it off and claim to have slept
through it? These things are to
be expected on the day after a
raucous full moon.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The
boomerang effect is happening
big-time today in regards to your
social impulses. The things you
want to tell another person are
very likely the things you should
really be telling yourself.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Wanting things to be different
could be the start of a beauti-
ful new world. Or it could be a
waste of time and energy. It all
depends on your style of want-
ing. Want, and then act. Don’t
want and dwell.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The
intricacies and complications of
how things work threaten to bog
down your progress. Honestly,
who needs it? Accept that they
work, and go from there.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 28).
New influences change your
thinking this year. You may lose
your grip on things that you
thought you were absolutely
positive about and love the expe-
rience of sliding into a different
mindset. Special relationships
make the process a blast. You’ll
learn a new route to moneymak-
ing in June. Your lucky numbers
are: 19, 24, 33, 38 and 14.
