Luzerne County Council
members often reached the end
of a meeting during the first
monthof the newhome rule gov-
ernment only to realize theyd
have toschedule yet another ses-
sion.
Theyd simultaneously con-
sult calendars, struggling to pin-
point weekdays not already
booked with county business.
With up to 11 council mem-
bers sharing their views and a
frequent crowd of citizens who
want to speak, meetings often
went on for hours, sometimes
ending close to midnight.
I underestimated the enor-
mous time commitment, said
Councilwoman Elaine Maddon
Curry. However, in a relatively
short period of time, we have
made major accomplishments.
Since its swearing-inonJan. 2,
the council has: hired Tom Prib-
ula as interimmanager and Cali-
fornia resident Robert Lawton
as permanent manager; estab-
lished a public interviewing pro-
cedure for board and authority
applicants and appointed mem-
bers to several boards.

While Northeastern Pennsylvania is teeming
with fans rooting for the New York team in to-
days Super Bowl, Chris Monko stands lonely
but proud as a Boston sports enthusiast. And
hes eager for some payback.
They beat us in the Super
Bowl a few years ago, so were
out for revenge, the 43-year-
old New England Patriots fan,
full of bravado, said last week of
his teams rivalry with the Gi-
ants.
They ruined our perfect season (in 2007-
2008), so how fitting would it be to ruin the run
that theyve been on? They got the better of us
then, so Imlooking for some sweet revenge this
time around, Monko said.

Its Super Sunday and the players
will take the field today.
Theres nothing like it ... an event
so big, they use Roman numerals to
mark each edition. A rookie will
make a big play, and perhaps walk
off with the MVP award.
Sunday is the big game, and did
you know theres also a version of
the Puppy Bowl, but with humans?
asked Stephen Colbert on his TV
show Thursday.
While many will watch a human
sporting event today, more and
more are turning to the Puppy Bowl
on Animal Planet. Puppy Bowl VIII,
airing at 3 p.m. and rebroadcast
throughout the evening, is expected
to reach at least 10 million viewers,
another record for the continually
evolving event.

Kyle Rogers, 21, of East Wash-
ington Street was attempting to
make a left turn from the park-
ing lot of the Dunkin Donuts to
travel north on Spring Street
just after 5 p.m., police said. His
vehicle pulled into the path of a
vehicle driven by Stephanie
Berndt, 35, of Canter Drive,
Dallas traveling north on Spring
Street, police said. Berndt had
the right of way, police said.
Neither she nor a 5-year-old girl
in her vehicle was injured.
Rogers suffered a small cut on
his head, but did not want med-
ical treatment from paramedics,
police said.
Both vehicles were towed
from the scene.
WILKES-BARRE Police

smashed on five vehicles parked
in the downtown late Friday
night and early Saturday and

barn was already fully engulfed,
with flames shooting through
the roof, when firefighters ar-
rived.
Rood said the barn was fueled
by hay stored in the barn, mak-
ing it hard to extinguish. Fire-

6:30 a.m. and returned later
Friday to extinguish rekindled
hotspots.
Rood said the barn owner was
able to get his cattle out of the
burning barn, and that no cows
died in the blaze.
A state police fire marshal

CANONSBURG An official
says a fire at a landmark south-
western Pennsylvania candy fac-
tory destroyed nearly 20,000
pounds of chocolate.
The 6:30 a.m. Friday blaze
struck a second-floor packaging
area at Sarris Candies in Canon-
sburg in Washington County.
Plant manager Dennis Sroka
toldThe(Washington) Observer-
Reporter on Saturday that a
health inspection determined
that Sarris must destroy the
candy, which either melted or
had smoke damage.
Canonsburg Mayor David
Rhome said officials will inspect
the damage Monday, but the
blaze does not appear suspicious.
Sroka said Mondays inspec-
tion will also determine whether
another 5,000 pounds of choco-
late packaged for sale in the store
will also have to be destroyed.
But he said most of the compa-
nys stock survived because it is
stored in an off-site warehouse.

ments, research
ailments and so-
cialize, said Dr.
Nicholas Giorda-
no, M.D., past

Some Occupy tents cleared
D
ozens of U.S. Park Police officers in
riot gear and on horseback con-
verged before dawn Saturday on one of
the nations last remaining Occupy
sites, with police clearing away tents
they said were banned under park
rules.
At least seven people were arrested
in the move, which left large swaths of
open space at the encampment and
raised questions about exactly what
would remain.
Police said they were not evicting
the protesters. Those whose tents
conformed to regulations were allowed
to stay, and protesters can stay 24
hours a day as long as they dont camp
there with blankets or other bedding.
Police threatened to seize tents that
broke the rules and arrest the owners.
WINONA, MINN.
Suspended for Jacko move
A Catholic school in Minnesota has
suspended a 9-year-old boy for perform-
ing a crotch-grabbing Michael Jackson
dance move during a fundraiser.
Mindy Boberg told the Winona Daily
News the principal at St. Stanislaus in
Winona informed her that her son was
being suspended because his perform-
ance of Billie Jean constituted gross
misconduct.
She says principal Pat Bowlin was
particularly unhappy with the handful
of times the boy, Lenny, reached for his
groin area to imitate Jacksons dancing
Thursday night.
Bowlin told the newspaper he plans
to meet with the family Monday. He
declined to comment further, saying it
was an internal issue.
STOCKHOLM
Swedish website attacked
A group linked to the hacker net-
work Anonymous says it has attacked
the Swedish governments website and
shut it down by overloading it.
CyberForce used Twitter to claim
responsibility for Saturdays attack on
the website, which all departments of
Swedens government use.
Government spokesman Jacob La-
gercranser confirmed the website had
experienced some problems, but he
declined to give further details, saying
the government never comments on
security issues.
CyberForce describes itself as part of
the hacking collective Anonymous,
which drew international attention by
hacking onto a private conference call
by the FBI and Britains Scotland Yard,
then publishing the roughly 15-minute-
long recording of the call on the In-
ternet on Friday.
SARAJEVO, BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA
Snow emergency declared
Bosnias government declared a state
of emergency in its capital on Saturday
after Sarajevo was paralyzed by snow,
and hundreds of people remained
trapped in their homes and vehicles
throughout the country.
After a weeklong cold snap that has
killed scores of people across Eastern
Europe, more than 3 feet of snow fell in
Sarajevo on Saturday, closing roads and
public transportation.
Some neighborhoods reported water
shortages, and residents struggled to
make it to local shops to shore up on
food. Several people said they wit-
nessed fist fights in shops over loaves
of bread.
But the crisis also produced cam-
araderie.

A15-year-old U.S. dancer, Hanna Be-

Saturday. She won the competition,
which is an internationally recognized

BEIRUT Russia and China vetoed
a U.N. Security Council resolution
aimed at ending Syrias bloodshed, de-
spite international outrage Saturday
over a devastating bombardment of the
city of Homs by President Bashar As-
sads forces. Activists said more than
200 were killed in the bloodiest episode
of the nearly 11-month uprising.
The veto and the show of support by
Russia raised concerns that Assads re-
gime couldnowunleashevengreater vi-
olence to crush the revolt against his
rule, assured that his ally would prevent
international action while continuing
its weapons sales to Damascus.
It could also push an opposition de-
spairing of other options further into an
armed response, fueling a cycle of vio-
lence that threatens to tear apart the
Arab nation. A movement that began
with peaceful protests in March has al-
ready turned increasingly to the weap-
ons of rebel soldiers to defend itself
against Assads crackdown.
The overnight onslaught on restive
neighborhoods in Homs, Syrias third
largest city, signaled a willingness by
Assads regime to bring a new level of
violence to stamp out its opponents. Its
timing, hours before a planned vote on
the U.N. resolution, suggested Assad
was confident of his ally Russias protec-
tion on the world stage.
Activists reports of the death toll
fromthe assault could not be independ-
ently confirmed.
The Syrian government denied any
bombardment took place at all, saying
the reports were oppositionpropaganda
aimedat pressuringthe UnitedNations.
It said bodies of the dead that appeared
in activists online videos were those of
people who had been kidnapped previ-
ously by terrorists.
Residents of Homs on Saturday de-
scribed a night of relentless bombard-
ment.
Thousands gathered for a funeral cer-
emony for some of the victims in the
worst hit neighborhood, Khaldiyeh.
The bloodshed added newurgency to
negotiations over the resolution, as
Western and Arab nations amended
drafts to overcome Russias opposition.
The Assad regime must come to an
end, President Barack Obama said in a
statement Saturday before the vote.

agents have racked up daily overtime at a
cost of about $1.4 billion in the past six
years while the number of arrests of ille-
gal border crossers has fallen to the low-
est level in nearly 40 years, an Associated
Press analysis of agency records finds.
Since the 2006 budget year, the agency
$15,000 more than the base salary, which
for a more experienced agent is typically
over $60,000 a year. Agents are limited to
$35,000 in overtime annually.
The cost of overtime rose from about
$155.8 million in 2006 to more than $331
million in 2011. That increase coincides
withthe additionof about 9,000 agents in
the past six years and the drop of appre-
hensions to a nearly 40-year low, from
more than 1 million arrests in 2006 to
about 340,000 in 2011.

Vitiello said patrolling the border can be
an unpredictable job that requires longer
hours from agents.

presidential elections on March 4, grea-
ter political freedomand democratic re-
form.
Among themwere presidential candi-
date and multibillionaire Mikhail Prok-

election run-off, as well as Grigory Yav-
linsky, of the Yabloko liberal party, who
has not been authorized to contest the

HARRISBURG With the
state government projecting its
fourth straight deficit next year,
the budget plan that Gov. Tom
Corbett will roll out Tuesday is
expected to bring somber news
to many who rely on state aid.
Hospitals, counties, schools,
nonprofit service providers and
business advocates will watch
closely to see how their pet
causes fare in what is expected
to be an approxi-
mately $27 billion
budget that must
spend more on debt
and pensions while
tightening practical-
ly everywhere else.
For now, top Cor-
bett administration
officials are staying
quiet about what will
be in the budget for
the 2012-13 fiscal
year that begins July
1.
There are plenty of
pressures.
Corbett, a Republi-
can, is already trying
to keep a lid on rising
costs for prisons and
for health care for
the poor, disabled and elderly,
while managing lackluster tax
collections. Advocates for the
poor say the states safety net is
springing bigger holes. And
school boards are fearful of los-
ing more aid and raising proper-
ty taxes.
Business advocates, key sup-
porters of Corbetts, are pressing
for tax cuts that they say will
boost the states economy by im-
proving the states attractive-
ness to companies looking to ex-
pand, relocate or hire.
Primarily, they want the con-
tinuation of a reduction of a tax
on assets a $278 million tax
cut if it stays on schedule. After
that, theyd like to see an in-
crease in the amount of losses
that can be written off against
profits and an adjustment in cor-
porate net income taxes to re-
flect just sales, rather than pay-
roll or asset value. Both changes
would reduce taxes.
I think he and his staff know
this is the litany, said David W.
Patti, the president and CEO of
the Harrisburg-based business
advocacy group, the Pennsylva-
nia Business Council. But were
also trying to be realistic about
where were at in the economy.
Corbett, who
campaigned on a
pledge not to in-
crease taxes, pushed
through a 3 percent
spending reduction
for this fiscal year to
address a multibil-
lion-dollar deficit,
primarily by cutting
aid for public
schools and univer-
sities. He followed
with a mid-year
spending freeze of
less than 1 percent
that left the budget
at $26.9 billion this
year about the
amount that was
spent in the 2007-08
fiscal year.
Also being closely watched is
whether Corbett will reshape
the way the state sends aid to
universities and whether he will
issue a plan to inject new money
into a transportation network
widely criticized as in disrepair.
Business advocates and labor
unions both support new money
for transportation, both as a way
to improve commerce and to
stimulate hiring. In addition,
unions are floating suggestions
that they say would help to
avoid more cuts in education
and human services.
Among their cost-saving sug-
gestions are thinning the ranks
of managers in the states work
force, consolidating prescription
drug purchases by nine different
agencies, enacting a law that al-
lows whistleblowers to sue Med-
icaid providers for fraud and
tightening the screws on pay-
ments to charter and cyber
school operators.
Then there are tax changes
they recommend: Imposing a
levy on the booming Marcellus
Shale natural gas drilling activ-
ity, tightening a provision that
allows businesses to avoid Penn-
sylvanias corporate income tax
by moving profits to outside ju-
risdictions, and ending a reward
for businesses that send the
sales taxes they collect to the
state on time.
Tony Ross, president and
CEO of the United Way of Penn-
sylvania, said he is hoping to see
more money for mortgage as-
sistance, early childhood educa-
tion, child care, worker training,
food banks, emergency shelters
and flexible money that coun-
ties can put toward a range of
social and human services.
A just-released United Way
survey underscores complaints
from advocates for the poor
about a battered state safety net:
Shelters are turning away peo-
ple, food banks are giving less
out to more people, child care
operators are absorbing higher
co-pays that the state is requir-
ing for subsidized parents, and
waiting times for other services
are growing.
The counties, meanwhile,
which provide billions of dollars
in social and human services on
behalf of the state, are bracing
for cutbacks after a decade of
stretching dollars for everything
from caring for neglected chil-
dren to helping seniors get at-
home assistance.
Weve spent down reserves,
weve looked to trim where we
can, said Doug Hill, the exec-
utive director of the County
Commissioners Association of
Pennsylvania. Were at the
edge. We genuinely are talking
about service cuts now.

HARRISBURG The jury in
state Rep. Bill DeWeeses corrup-
tion trial broke for the weekend
after failing to agree on a verdict
Friday, leavingthe once-powerful
Democrats future uncertain.
The seven women and five
men on the panel huddled in the
jury room for most of Thursday
and all day Friday before Dau-
phin County President Judge
Todd Hoover dismissed themun-
til Monday, at their request.
For the secondday ina row, the
panelists asked to review a tran-
script of the former long-time
House Democratic leaders 2009
testimony before a state investi-
gating grand jury.
The jury sought the full tran-
script Thursday and two specific
pages Friday. The judge rejected
both requests, saying court rules
of criminal procedure bar such
testimony from being provided
to juries.
In that testimony, DeWeese
said he relied heavily on staff
members in his southwestern
Pennsylvania district office to
work on his re-election cam-
paigns and acknowledged he had
not been careful to ensure that
the work was not done on state
time.
DeWeese is accused of illegally
using legislative employees and
other resources of political pur-
poses. He faces charges of theft,
conspiracy and conflict of inter-
est.
It was unclear why the jurors
were interested in the two pages
they sought Friday.
DeWeese told reporters the
pages were bookends toa16-page
section that was excluded from
the trial record. One page dealt
withgamblinglegislationandthe
other withthemerits of replacing
the Legislatures partisan staff
with a non-partisan staff, he said.
Neither topic has been a major is-
sue in the trial.
DeWeese, a 35-year legislative
veteran, remained in the cour-
troom throughout the day, wait-
ing for a verdict.

NEWYORKWhen Dorothy
Twinney first saw a Race for the
Cure walk for breast cancer a
sea of pink traveling through
her hometown of Plymouth,
Mich. she was so moved she
sat in her car and wept.
This week, after watching The
Susan G. Komen for the Cure
breast cancer charity announce
plans to cut funding to Planned
Parenthood, then abandon those
plans amid a public furor, Twin-
ney decided she was done with
the organization for which she
raised thousands of dollars on
three-day, 60-mile walks that left
her feet bloodied and blistered,
but her spirits high.
It just feels like its all tar-
nished now, the 41-year-old
mother of two said. Honestly,
Im not sure what they can do to
change that.
At weeks end, many longtime
Komen supporters were feeling
similarly conflicted. Some, de-
pending on where they stood on
the hot-button issue of abortion,
called it more of a betrayal.
Those who supported Komens
grants to Planned Parenthood
for breast-cancer screenings
called the initial move to cut
them politically motivated;
those opposed to the grants said
the same thing about the revers-
al.
The outrage clearly stunned
Komen, the countrys most wide-
ly known breast cancer organiza-
tion. I think (Komen) has been
horrified to be so caught up in
this culture war, said Eric Schei-
dler, executive director of the
Chicago-based Pro-Life Action
League.
Many women described feel-
ing caught in the middle when
The Associated Press first re-
ported on Tuesday that Komen
had adopted criteria excluding
Planned Parenthood from future
breast screening grants because
it was the subject of an investiga-
tion launched by a Florida con-
gressman at the urging of anti-
abortion groups. The grants to-
taled $680,000 in 2011.
Alyce Lee-Walker was one of
them. A longtime Komen sup-
porter, shed never given money
to Planned Parenthood. But
when she learned of the funding
cut, she immediately went on-
line to donate $188 the 88 sig-
nifying good luck in Chinese.
She didnt stop there. The
small business owner from Pine-
hurst, N.C., went about remov-
ing all the pink-ribbon stickers, a
Komen symbol, that shed af-
fixed to her belongings.
I took them off my personal
car, the business car, off the
doors in the office, she said.
And that pink chefs knife she
bought at Williams-Sonoma,
with some of the proceeds going
to Komen? Im done with that,
too, she said.
When she worked on Wall
Street, Lee-Walker once prowled
the trading floor soliciting dona-
tions from anyone who loved a
sister, mother, wife or who
was a fan of breasts, she quips.
She raised $15,000. But now, Ko-
mens reversal as well as its origi-
nal move left her disgusted, she
said: Its all political.
Many shared that skepticism.
Im wondering, is this really
what they believe now, or is it
just all the bad press that made
them do it? asked Mary Gauvin,
a 27-year-old mother from Fort
Drum, N.Y. I doubt their moti-
vation a bit.
Gauvin, a supporter in the
past of both Planned Parenthood
and Komen, said that now, if a
friend asked for sponsorship in a
Race for the Cure event, she
would offer to give money in-
stead to the American Cancer
Society.
Also switching allegiance was
Suzanne Strempek Shea, a novel-
ist and college writing teacher in
Northhampton, Mass. If some-
one asks me to sponsor them,
she said, Im going to say, I
wish you well, but Im going to
give the amount Id have given
you to Rays of Hope, another
breast cancer support group.
The issue was particularly
painful to Shea, 51. She is a
breast cancer survivor who dis-
covered early warning signs at a
Planned Parenthood breast
screening (the group does
screenings and refers some pa-
tients for mammograms).
They found the cysts that led
to the diagnosis. I dont think
people realize all the good they
do, Shea said. Horrified that a
crucial womens health issue had
become entwined with the abor-
tion debate, she said that despite
the reversal, Im still angry.
Even angrier about the revers-
al were anti-abortion advocates
whod applauded Komens origi-
nal move.
We were very happy to see
(Komen) discontinue funding to
Planned Parenthood, said Tony
Lauinger, state chairman for Ok-
lahomans For Life. For an entity
... thats trying to prevent breast
cancer across the world, its di-
rectly counterproductive that
the organization would be giving
funds to Planned Parenthood,
which is the largest provider of
abortions in the country.
Scheidler, of the Pro-Life Ac-
tion League, sent out emails and
social media messages Friday
aimed at tens of thousands of
abortion foes, urging them to
withhold donations to Komen.
Days earlier, when the original
decision was reported, hed
urged people to donate to Ko-
men.
Renee Wiesner, a mother of
nine who opposes abortion, said
she had been encouraged by Ko-
mens original decision.
I had known about the grants,
and thats why I had avoided sup-
porting Komen in the past, said
Wiesner, of Aurora, Ill. Now, she
said, she will wait for the furor to
die down before deciding where
to contribute.
She said she suspected the re-
versal was simply a PR move by
Komen: They need to keep a
good public image if they want
to be as successful as theyve
been.
Not everyone was beating up
on Komen. They made a bad
call, but they rethought their po-
sition, said Katie Ferdinand, 46,
of Basking Ridge, N.J. Id con-
sider supporting them going for-
ward.
Before the reversal, Ferdinand
had gone on Facebook and urged
friends to join her in contribut-
ing to Planned Parenthood. The
organization said it received $3
million between Tuesday eve-
ning and Friday afternoon, funds
it said would be used to expand
its breast health services, which
now provide nearly 750,000
breast exams each year.
That made Planned Parent-
hood supporter Cindy Froggatt
happy. I am grateful to Komen
for the unintended consequence
of their misguided decision,
said Froggatt, of Philadelphia.
She especially admired the ac-
tions of New York Mayor Mi-
chael Bloomberg, who himself
made a $250,000 gift.
The controversy was rawest, it
seemed, for breast cancer survi-
vors, especially those, like Joyce
Miller, whod donated many
hours of time to Komen. After
her first breast cancer treatment,
Miller spent an hour a day man-
ning Komens phone lines, for
nearly two years.
I do not forgive them, the 70-
year-old Dallas woman said Fri-
day, after the reversal. She said
she was also thinking of her
daughter, Twinney, the Michi-
gan woman, who spent years on
the breast cancer walks. Those
bloody feet, Miller said. The
aching back!
As for Twinney, she didnt try
to hold back the tears as she
spoke of the years of fundraising,
which included bartending
stints to get cash together, and
the three-day walks, buoyed by
supporters including her two
sons, who even agreed to dress
in pink.
Those weekends, on those
walks, were some of the most
special times of my life, next to
the birth of my children, she
said. You met the best people in
the world. This organization be-
gan for such a special reason.
And I am just so disappointed
right now.
KOMEN FOUNDATI ON The controversy over Planned Parenthood funding was worst, it seemed, for breast cancer survivors
Some supporters cant forgive and forget

Some of an estimated 45,000 people participate in the Susan B. Komen Race for the Cure in Little
Rock, Ark., in October 2010. Many supporters are now conflicted after plans to cut funding to
Planned Parenthood were announced, then abandoned.
Im wondering, is this
really what they believe
now, or is it just all the
bad press that made
them do it? I doubt their
motivation a bit.

The house at 28 Henry St. is
several hundred feet away from

North Main Street. But its loca-
tion and the hilly terrain of the
neighborhood hampered fire-
fighters who answered the alarm
around 4 p.m., said Ritsick.
The two-story wood structure
sat at the end a steep driveway
approximately 100 feet from the
curb. Its rear abutted a grassy al-

Ritsick said there were no is-
sues getting water, but a pumper
truck parked behind the house
and in front of the garage where
Rogalski kept his car fed a single
line to a firefighter as flames shot
from the eaves and a rear win-
dow.
Laflin firefighters connected a
hose from a hydrant to the pum-

In addition to Laflin, firefight-

throughout the Wyoming Valley.
A commotion awoke April
Watkins who said she was asleep
in a house next door.
I heard people yelling back

Membership used to be
around 400 to 500, he said.
Now it is about 200.
Giordano said medical socie-
ties inneighboringcounties meet
in designated restaurants month-
ly, and do not have a permanent
office.
We feel strongly a reference
point is needed, he said.
A lot of history is embedded
within their reference point.
For 98 years, the society called
the D-shaped brick building at
130 S. Franklin St., Wilkes-Barre
home.
It once housed a medical li-
brary, but with rapid medical ad-
vancements and the develop-
ment of computers and the Inter-
net, the old library became un-
necessary.
The medical society became a
hub of medical information until
about World War II, Giordano
said.
The Luzerne County Medical
Society stills plays an active part
in the community, giving physi-
cians a place to socialize and net-
work, while linking the commu-
nitytomedical services available.
Miller said she often receives
calls from people new to the area
looking to see what doctors and
medical care are available, as well
as civic and community groups
looking for health care profes-
sionals to speak at events.
On the second floor, inside
locked display cases, medical
equipment from by-gone eras re-
minds them how far the health
care field and the medical society
have come.

its home since 1913 to the Wyoming Valley Art League.
A dinner to celebrate the Luzerne
County Medical Societys 150 years
of existence will be held at 7 p.m.
Feb. 24 at the Westmoreland Club,
Wilkes-Barre. The evening will
include a guest speaker from the
Pennsylvania Medical Societys
Board of Trustees, recognition of
three local physicians for 50 years
of service and the installation of

working relationship with the

participated each of the three
years.
It seemed like a real easy win
for us, he said.
James Grosner, a parent from
Wyoming with a 12-year-old son,
Daniel, who attends Graham A-
cademy, could not express how
much his sons behavior im-
proved once he started becoming
involved.
The strides he made are phe-
nomenal. He is completely differ-
ent emotionally, Grosner said.
The baseball clinic offers the
kids a chance to learn about the
game and just have fun with the
players, Grosner added.
Its really about the kids, he
said.
Julie Wood from Mountaintop
and her son Jacob, 11, agreed the
clinic offers the opportunity to
socialize, which is very beneficial
during the winter months when
the children may be cooped up in
the house.
Jacob pointed out he really en-
joyed meeting the baseball play-
ers and having fun playing the
game.
All of the activities are good,
he said.
Chris Pensak, baseball coach
from Lackawanna College, said
the players also garner valuable
life lessons when they volunteer
their time to participate with the
autistic children.
Its good learning experience
for my kids too, Pensak said.
They learn there is something
else other than baseball.
The players stayedupbeat with
the kids, cheering them on
through pitching drills, a home-
run derby and other activities,
Pensak said. The main point is
for everyone to have fun, he add-
ed.
Hall thanked the team and the
owners of Abes Hot Dogs, who
provided a lunch for the children.
When the first clinic was held,
only a handful of local children

fident this annual event will con-
tinue to grow each year.

For the first time, 21st-century
audiences are able to hear the
voiceof OttovonBismarck, oneof
the 19th centurys most impor-
tant figures.
The National Park Service an-
nounced this week that the Ger-
man chancellors voice has been
identifiedamongthosefoundona
dozen recorded wax cylinders,
each more than120 years
old, that were once
stored near Thomas Edi-
sons cot in his West Or-
ange, N.J., lab. They in-
cludemusicanddignitar-
ies, includingthe voice of
the only person born in
the18thcentury believed
to be available on a re-
cording.
The trove includes Bis-
marcks voice reciting
songs and imploring his
son to live morally and
eat and drink in modera-
tion.
In the 18th century,
the human voice was de-
scribedasoneof themost
noble capacities of hu-
man beings, Stephan
Puille, the German researcher
who identified Bismarcks voice,
said in an email. Bismarck is no
longer mute. I think his voice al-
lows a newaccess to him.
Sound is three-dimensional.
Heretofore we only knew Bis-
marck from pictures and draw-
ings. Now we know him a little
better.
The people who study and col-
lect early recordings knew they
had been made, but did not know
they still existed.
Most early recordings I have
readabout hadnot survived,said
Patrick Feaster, an Indiana Uni-
versity scholar who also helped
crack the mystery of what was on
the cylinders.
The recordings were made in
1889 and 1890 by Theo Wange-
mann, whom Edison sent to su-
pervisetheuseof theEdisonPho-
nograph Works machines on dis-
play at the Paris
Worlds Fair in 1889
beforetravelingtohis
native Germany.
Feaster describes
Wangemann as the
first serious profes-
sional recordingengi-
neer. While in Paris,
he recorded orches-
tras, pianists, a come-
dian and others. He
even recorded on the
then-new Eiffel Tow-
er.
While sound re-
cordings were made
as early as 1859, the
ones on Edisons wax
phonographs were in
the first generationof
intended for play-
back.
The trip yieldedone of the best
known early recordings, of Jo-
hannesBrahmsplayingthepiano.
But, Feaster said, that cylinder
has given early recordings a bad
name. This poor recording was
utterly worn out before anyone
copiedit, hesaid. Itsverynoisy.
You can barely hear theres a pi-
ano. Feaster says thenewlyiden-
tified recordings, by contrast,
showwhat the then-newtechnol-
ogyperfectedbyEdisoncoulddo.
Wangemanns other recordings
fromthe trip were long sought af-
ter.
Biographies mentioned them.
Wangemann himself referred to
themin1906 when testifying at a
patent trial. He said that by then,
some were broken, according to
Jerry Fabris, the curator of the
museum at the Thomas Edison
National Historic Park. Ulrich
Lappenkuper, managing director
of the Otto von Bismarck Society
in Friedrichsruh, Germany, said
the search for one with the chan-
cellor has gone on for years in
vain.
The story of the fragile brown
wax cylinders picks up again in
1957, said Fabris. That was when
the Edison home and laboratory
were donated to the National
Park Service.
At the time, there was a quick
inventory of the labs contents. A
card attached to the wooden box
said where it had been found. By
then, Fabris said, some of the cyl-
inders were broken by someone
tryingtopryopenthe lockedbox,
whichhadnolabels but oneentic-
ing feature in the formof the two
words scratched in the wood:
Edison, and Wangemann.
Fabris became curator of the
sound recording collection in
1994. A year later, he started the
decade-long task of cataloging all
39,000phonographs inthecollec-
tion, moving from the easiest to
identifytotheoldest, most exper-
imental andoftenunlabeled
ones.
Hesaidhefirst gaveacloselook
to the Wangemann cylinders in
2005. But at the time, he didnt
have the equipment needed to
convert the sounds stored on
those fragile pieces into digital
files. By 2010, he had what was
needed and was able to convert
the dozen cylinders that werent
too badly broken.
When I heard that it was Ger-
manspeaking, he said, that was
a big clue that these might be
something very important.
To figure out what it was, he
called in Feaster, a lecturer in
communicationandculture at In-
diana University, and, later,
Puille, a conservator of archaeo-
logical finds at Berlins University
of Applied Sciences,
Puille said the words from the
man speaking in a falsetto voice
were hard to make out, but when
he transcribedthemhe realizedit
was the chancellor speaking less
thanayearbeforehewasreplaced
as chancellor.
The discovery has sparked in-
tense interest in Germany. The
Bismarck Societys Lappenkuper
describedit aninemail as hype,
which he said could fertilize the
historical research.
He was interested to hear what
the chancellor chose to say for
posteritys sake: Bismarck did
not give any political advices but
recitations of poems, lyrics... and
apersonal suggestiontohissonto
be moderate in working, eating
and drinking!
In Germany, the recording of
Bismarck may be the most excit-
ing. But another voice was also
thrilling for Feaster to hear.
They captured Helmuth von
Moltke, thelongtimechief of staff
for the Prussian army reciting
lines fromShakespeare andother
literature.
Its ironic, Feaster said, that a
man born in 1800 and known as
theGreat Silent One is theown-
er of the only voice born in the
18th century known to be pre-
served.
Feaster said that find was a
coup but there are more to
come in his field.
There are always more holy
grails, he said. Were really at a
moment where early sound re-
cordings are turning up and be-
coming audible at a rate much
greater than ever before.

Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santo-
rum trailed the field.
Returns from12 of 17 counties
showed Romney with 41 percent
support, Gingrich with 25 per-
cent, Paul with 22 percent and
Santorum with 13 percent.
Yet to report its results was
Clark County, which includes
Las Vegas and often accounts for
half or more of the votes in a
statewide election.
Romneys victory capped a
week that began with his dou-
ble-digit win in the Florida pri-
mary. That contest was as in-
tense as Nevadas caucuses were
sedate so quiet that they pro-
duced little television advertis-
ing, no candidate debates and
only a modest investment of
time by the contenders.
A total of 28 Republican Na-
tional Convention delegates
were at stake in caucuses held
across a sprawling state that
drew little attention in the nomi-
nating campaign but figures to
be a fierce battleground in the
fall between the winner of the
GOP nomination and Democrat
President Barack Obama. The
states unemployment rate was
measured at 12.6 percent in De-
cember, the worst in the coun-
try.
According to the AP count,
Romney began the day with 87
of the 1,144 delegates needed to
win the Republican nomination.
Gingrich had 26, Santorum 14
and Paul 4.
Preliminary results of a poll of
Nevada Republicans entering
their caucuses showed that near-
ly half said the most important
consideration in their decision
was a candidates ability to de-
feat Obama this fall, a finding in
line with other states.
About one-quarter of those
surveyed said they are Mormon,
roughly the same as in 2008,
when Romney won with more
than a majority of the vote in a
multi-candidate field.
The entrance poll was con-
ducted by Edison Research for
The Associated Press at 25 ran-
domly selected caucus sites. It
included 1,553 interviews and
had a margin of sampling error
of plus or minus 4 percentage
points.
The caucus rules were a dem-
onstration of democracy and a
reflection of religious diversity.
Nevada awarded its delegates
in proportion to the caucus vote
totals, meaning that any candi-
date who captured at least 3.57
percent of the total number of
ballots cast would be rewarded.
By contrast, Romneys victory in
the Florida primary on Tuesday
netted him all 50 of the dele-
gates at stake there.
While most caucuses were
held during the day, an excep-
tion was Clark County, the
states largest. There, party offi-
cials arranged to hold one meet-
ing well after sundown at the re-
quest of orthodox Jews who ob-
serve bans on driving, writing or
other work-a-day activities dur-
ing the Sabbath.
Romneys victory in the states
2008 caucuses, coupled with the
heavy presence of voters who
share his Mormon faith, turned
Nevada into something of a way-
station on the campaign calen-
dar.
There are just over 175,000
Mormons in the state, roughly 7
percent of the population. But
they accounted for nearly a quar-
ter of all 2008 Nevada GOP cau-
cus-goers.
Gingrich said hed be happy to
finish second, behind Romney
and ahead of Paul.
Paul, a Texas lawmaker, was
one of two candidates to air tele-
vision ads in the state, hoping
for a close second-place finish if
not an upset. Romney was the
other, joined by Restore Our Fu-
ture, the ubiquitous organization
that supports him and has been
heavily involved in earlier states.
Santorum campaigned rela-
tively little in Nevada, although
he picked up the support of
Sharron Angle, a tea party favor-
ite who won the GOP Senate
nomination in a 2010 upset and
then lost her race to Senate Ma-
jority Leader Harry Reid.
From Nevada, the calendar
turns to caucuses in Minnesota
and Colorado and a non-binding
primary in Missouri on Tuesday.
Maine caucuses end next Sat-
urday, and the next seriously
contested states are expected to
be primaries in Michigan and
Arizona on Feb. 28.
Nevada caucuses, coming four
days after the Florida primary,
meant little time for the type of
intense campaign that character-
ized the first month of the race.
The most memorable event of
the four-day Nevada campaign
was an endorsement that flam-
boyant billionaire Donald
Trump bestowed on Romney in
Las Vegas in a circus-like atmo-
sphere that followed reports he
would back Gingrich. The cam-
paign event was brief, and Paul
mocked The Donald and his de-
cision. I dont think he has that
much credibility. I dont under-
stand why we pay attention to
him, he said.
By the time Nevada Republi-
cans caucused, Paul was cam-
paigning in Minnesota, Santo-
rum in Colorado.
The one thing that is on our
side is the American people are
waking up, Paul said in a
speech in Rochester, Minn., that
was frequently interrupted by
applause. The Texan has yet to
win a primary or caucus state.
Santorum, who eked out a vic-
tory in Iowa a month ago, has
faded since. He said he has
raised $1 million online in recent
days to help him in the upcom-
ing states.
Gingrich combined campaign-
ing and fundraising in his time
in Nevada, in hopes of righting a
campaign that was victorious in
the South Carolina primary on
Jan. 21, only to crater 10 days
later in Florida.

The whirlwind of activity also
included public sessions to hash
out 2012 budget amendment op-
tions, with a majority ultimately
choosing a 2-percent tax hike and
use of bond funding that will re-
quire about 56 layoffs.
Councilwoman Linda McClos-
ky Houck knew it would be a lot
of work but was somewhat sur-
prised by the amount of learning
and planning that had to be
crammed in to make informed
deadline decisions.
For example, appointments to
the assessment appeal, election
and new ethics board had to be
made by the end of January.
We had to work from scratch
and develop a whole process of
schedules and interviews and fig-
ure out how wed work as a body
to appoint them, McClosky
Houck said. A lot of procedures
are now in place that will make
our job not easier but less time-
consuming in the future.
Some other observations and
impressions from council mem-
bers are:
JimBobeck said his greatest
surprise has been the independ-
ence of the 11 council members.
Ive been amazed at the pro-
fessionalism and collegiality
among all of the council mem-
bers, he said.
Voting along party lines hasnt
occurred, he said.
Bobeck doesnt see the back-
and-forth debates about how to
proceed as a negative.
I am somewhat amazed this
boardcontinues toreassess its as-
sumptions to make sure it has a
solid foundation before proceed-
ing with its choice, he said.
EdwardA. Brominski saidhe
still sees too many people who
havent adjusted to the new gov-
ernment structure requiring the
manager to handle day-to-day op-
erations. The council must make
it clear Lawton is in command
when he starts Feb. 21, he said.
Im sad to say that a lot of
these deputies fail to realize that
theyre answerable to the manag-
er, Brominski said. They still
have a mentalitythat theywill ap-
proach someone from council
and have an influence, but that
will not work on me.
I dont think many in the
county recognize the separation
of power. They think theyre op-
erating in the past, he said.
Brominski opposes a tax hike
andsaidit was unwise for council
to seek input from managers
about layoffs because it gave the
impression council will handle
decisions about appropriate staff-
ing levels.
I am confident the new man-
ager will come in and take a look
and see what the story is with
staffing, he said.
Harry Haas appreciates the
debate among 11 council mem-
bers.
The people onthis council are
just fantastic. We have frank dis-
cussions. Ive seen very little neg-
ativity or mean-spiritedness
amongst council, he said.
His campaign promise to make
tough decisions was tested when
he decided to support a tax in-
crease, saying he has received
some angry communication as a
result. Haas said he wasnt at
peace when he initially opposed
a tax hike.
Haas looks forward to visiting
morecountyoffices not tointer-
fere withthe manager but toget a
better grasp on operations.
My goal is to have a holistic
idea of what the county does, he
said. Its really like a corpora-
tion. There are so many branches
to it.
Eugene Kelleher said the se-
lection process for the manager
and board appointees focused on
qualifications, not names and po-
litical connections.
For years around here, the
first thing has been your name
andwho youknow. This month, I
think, is the beginning of a
change of the culture, he said.
Kelleher said people have to
stop viewing county government
as an employment agency and
wants employees who will pro-
vide good government. He said
many employees already fit that
mold.
Ive learned in this first month
that a lot of workers in the cour-
thouse are coated with a broad
brushthats unfair tothem. There
are a lot there who are very hard
workers, he said.
Maddon Curry appreciates
the newcouncils ability to work
together.
Some of us have had strong
differences of opinion, but those
differences have not been initi-
atedout of self interest, she said.
Council members ability to
collectively make decisions
about what they believe is best
for the county will benefit the
newgovernment, she said. Coun-
cil members want to solve prob-
lems not finger-point and
blame, she said.
McClosky Houck applauds
the decision to make the council
11 members.
Being one of 11 is wonderful
for government. It enables you to
hear 10 other points of view, she
said. Everybody has a little dif-
ferent take on something.
After a month of interacting,
shes concluded the group shares
many similarities. The political
party, gender and hometowns of
council members havent come
into play in voting, she said.
Tim McGinley said figuring
out how to work with 10 other
new council members to reach
consensus has been a learning
process for all of us.
Under the old county system,
votes fromonly two of three com-
missioners were needed.
Communication and listening
to other perspectives are impor-
tant on a large board, he said.
I think were learning more
about one another and getting a
better idea howto work with one
another. Its a process, McGinley
said.
He doesnt see a majority vot-
ing bloc and believes all council
members are actively participa-
ting.
The dynamic will change again
when Lawton is on board be-
cause council must figure out
how to work with him, he said.
Rick Morelli said hes im-
pressed with the amount of work
thats been accomplished and
councils ability to work together.
Even though we disagree on
items, its been very professional.
Without doubt, the council mem-
bers are there for the right rea-
sons, said Morelli, also a home
rule charter drafter.
The council must focus on
changed public perception of
county government, he said.
I know people who voted for
this charter, not because of what
we wrote, but because they want-
ed change, and a lot of people are
still on the fence about whether
they support the new govern-
ment, Morelli said.
He believes council must set
the bar high to be transparent
and open. He wants to see verba-
tim meeting minutes, more pub-
lic deliberation on the selection
of appointments to boards and
the early public release of appli-
cants for high-profile county jobs,
such as the manager.
Stephen A. Urban, a former
county commissioner, believes
the public interviewing process
for board appointments is a posi-
tive change.
He believes some fellow coun-
cil members changedtheir minds
about a taxincreasebecauseof an
onslaught of complaints from
workers about layoffs, prompting
him to question whether his col-
leagues will have the strength to
make difficult decisions.
Urban pointed to intense pub-
lic pressure to halt the county-
wide reassessment, noting he
and former commissioner Ma-
ryanne Petrilla stayed on course
with the reassessment.
I dont think any of them
would vote for reassessment,
Urban said of his council col-
leagues.
Urban said council members
and the new manager must con-
tinue to press unions for savings
nowthat unionofficials have pub-
licly said theyd be willing to dis-
cuss options.
Stephen J. Urban is pleased
to see people attending county
council meetings.
Im glad to see people are get-
ting involved, he said.
Council members seem to be
voting their conscience, he said.
Though he often agrees with his
fathers philosophy, Urban said
they have already voteddifferent-
ly on an issue involving meeting
minutes. Political party seems to
have no bearing on vote out-
comes, he said.
Its a pretty unique board. Its
been pretty diverse so far, he
said.
Councils working relationship
with Lawton will be critical be-
cause council must monitor his
performance without interfering
in daily operations, he said.
Rick Williams, the only Inde-
pendent-registered councilman,
believes his council colleagues
have also demonstrated inde-
pendent thinking.
Williams also praised the lead-
ership of Chairman Bobeck and
Vice Chairwoman McClosky
Houck.
He has observed many dili-
gent andserious county employ-
ees and was somewhat surprised
to encounter so many obstacles
changing past procedures and
practices, including awards
granted through collective bar-
gaining agreements.
Im sobered by how en-
trenched the patterns of the past
are and the stories of past mis-
management, he said. I sort of
knewthose things but didnt fully
grasp how serious and pervasive
they are.
COUNCIL
BILL TARUTIS//FOR THE TIMES LEADER
Luzerne County Council convenes for the first time on Jan. 2. Council meetings often went on for
hours, sometimes ending close to midnight, during the first month of the countys new government.
up and down the miniature Animal
Planet Stadium, which is made up to
look like a massive football venue,
complete with gridiron and a referee.
The pups carry toys into the end zones
for puppy touchdowns.
It has become a television destina-
tion for folks around the country.
Were always excited for it, said
Wendy Marano, spokeswoman for the
Pennsylvania SPCA. Theres more
suspense than the Super Bowl. Theres
only two sides to choose fromin the
Super Bowl.
This years Puppy Bowl will feature
58 puppies. The lineup includes 11 from
Pennsylvania. There also will be five
piglets, a bird, a handful of hamsters
and19 cats.
Yes, cats. For those who fancy cats,
youll want to tune in as well for the
annual Kitty Half-Time Show which,
like youll find if you flip over to that
other bowl, also is a big enough extra-
vaganza to have corporate sponsorship
-- and stars.
Weve probably sent a couple dozen
animals to the show(over the years),
Marano said. Last year featured our
kittens during the halftime show. We
look at it as a total animal experience.
Originally a vehicle to highlight
puppies, kittens were added in the
second year. Hamsters, piloting the
faux blimp over the stadium, and cheer-
leading bunnies were added in 2010.
Last year, the bunnies were replaced by
chickens.
We have to give kudos to Animal
Planet, Marano said. There will be a
bird (Meep, who will be posting to
Twitter during the Puppy Bowl) and
some piglets (the cheerleading Piggy
Pep Squad) doing the sideline thing.
Its really great that they reach out to so
many different animals and highlight
them.
The Puppy Bowl was created as
something of a time filler for a network
not readily watched on Super Sunday
many years ago -- and it grewinto a
phenomenon. Until his death, Hall of
Fame broadcaster Harry Kalas -- known
for calling Phillies games and his work
with NFL Films -- was the voice of the
Puppy Bowl.
During the action, look for penalty
calls such as unnecessary ruff, ruff,
ruffness, illegal use of the paws,
illegal retriever downfield and exces-
sive cuteness on the field. A look at the
action fromfield level is provided by a
water bowl cam.
Since the first bowl, viewership has
grown each year, just like the lineup.
More importantly, all the rookies fea-
tured in the broadcast, which was taped
in NewYork City in October, will not be
free agents this season.
The goal is to have themall adopted
by the time the showairs, said Jared
Albert of Animal Planet. Petfinder.com
does a great job finding the participa-
nts. There are so many shelters that
want to be a part of Puppy Bowl.
The showwill feature animals from
across the country, and all are nowin
homes instead of shelters. Even the
animals fromCalifornia dont let their
TV stardomgo to their heads. Most
people who adopt the animals do not
knowthey have taken in a star of the
small screen.
Rumors abound on the web as to
what will happen during the broadcast.
This years MVP -- that stands for Most
Valuable Puppy, by the way -- may even
be Pennsylvania born.
Theres a lot of spirit in those pups,
Albert said. I cannot tell you who wins
the MVP. Youre going to have to watch.
But I can tell you they are contenders.

NEW YORK Facebooks bil-
lionaire CEO Mark Zuckerberg
calls himself a hacker.
For most people, that word
means something malicious
shady criminals who listen in on
private voicemails, or anony-
mous villains who cripple web-
sites and break into email ac-
counts.
For Facebook,
though, hacker
means something dif-
ferent. Its an ideal that
permeates the compa-
nys culture. It explains
the push to try new
ideas (even if they
fail), and to promote
new products quickly
(even if theyre imper-
fect). The hacker ap-
proach has made Face-
book one of the worlds
most valuable Internet
companies.
Hackers believe
that something can al-
ways be better, and
that nothing is ever
complete, Zuckerberg
explains. They just
have to go fix it often in the
face of people who say its impos-
sible or are content with the sta-
tus quo.
Zuckerberg penned those
words in a 479-word essay called
The Hacker Way, which he in-
cluded in the document the com-
pany filed with government reg-
ulators about its plans for an ini-
tial public offering. The compa-
ny is seeking $5 billion from
investors in a deal that could val-
ue Facebook at as much as $100
billion.
The 27-year-old, who has a
$28.4 billion stake in the stock
deal, uses the H-word12 times in
the essay; shareholder appears
just once. Should Zuckerberg
have left those references out of
his IPO manifesto, knowing full-
well it could scare off potential
investors? He could easily have
described Facebook as nimble
or agile instead.
Symbolically, it doesnt bode
well to Facebook and to poten-
tial investors, said Robert
DOvidio, an associate professor
of criminal justice at Drexel Uni-
versity in Philadelphia who stud-
ies computer crime. I think it
shows maybe an immaturity on
his part. He should definitely
know better.
By using the word, Zuckerberg
is also trying to reclaim it. To
him, Steve Jobs and the founders
of many of the worlds biggest
technology companies were
hackers.
The word hacker has an un-
fairly negative connotation from
being portrayed in the media as
people who break into comput-
ers, Zuckerberg writes. In real-
ity, hacking just means building
something quickly or testing the
boundaries of what can be
done.
To be fair, the meaning has be-
come complicated. Bad hackers
destroy things with evil inten-
tions. They break into the voice-
mails of crime victims and celeb-
rities in search of a hot news sto-
ry. They breach security systems
to steal credit card data. Just this
week, members of the loose-knit
group Anonymous hacked into
law enforcement websites
around the world and gained ac-
cess to information about gov-
ernment informants and other
sensitive information.
Good hackers break things,
too, sometimes. But they do it in
the name of innovation. They
call themselves white hat hack-
ers to counter the criminal
black hats. Often, theyre hired
to expose security vulnerabili-
ties at big corporations. Kevin
Mitnick, who was convicted and
sent to prison in the 1990s for
computer hacking, now works as
a security consultant. Its the flip
side of his past life,
when he spent years
stealing secrets from
some of the worlds
largest corporations.
I break into com-
puters to find holes
before the bad guys
do, he says.
To Mitnick, Zuck-
erbergs Hacker
Way is about find-
ing clever ways to fix
problems. It can also
mean identifying a
new use for some-
thing old.
Nathan Hamblen,
who works for the
website Meetup-
.com, says the best
hacks are those that
do something unexpected,
something surprising that no
one else has thought of.
The term hacking dates
back more than half a century,
when geeks at the Massachu-
setts Institute of Technology
were tweaking telephone sys-
tems and computers.
MIT was the Mesopotamia of
hacking. Thats where hacking
culture began, says Steven
Levy, the Wired Magazine writer
who authored the 1984 book
Hackers: Heroes of the Comput-
er Revolution.
The small community of hack-
ers in the 1950s and 60s judged
one another on their creative
and technical abilities, and wore
the term as a badge of honor,
says Levy, in much the same way
that Zuckerberg does today.
They were the ones who did
what you werent supposed to do
on a computer, Levy explains.
Some were pranksters, too. In
the 1970s, before they founded
Apple, Steve Jobs and his buddy
Steve Wozniak figured out how
to break into telephone systems
and make free phone calls. In
one infamous prank, the two
Steves dialed up the Vatican to
find out who would pick up.
Wozniak pretended to be
Henry Kissinger wanting to
speak to the pope. Ve are at de
summit meeting in Moscow, and
we need to talk to the pope, Woz
intoned. He was told that it was
5:30 a.m. and the pope was
sleeping, writes Walter Isaac-
son in his recent biography of
Jobs.
It wasnt until the 1980s and
90s that hacking took a bad
turn. Some blame Robert Mor-
ris, a computer science student
who discovered a vulnerability
in the Internets inner workings
and unleashed the worlds first
computer worm in 1988.
He essentially brought the In-
ternet to a grinding halt, said
DOvidio, the criminal justice
professor. Morris was the first
person charged under the federal
Computer Fraud and Abuse Act
that had been enacted two years
earlier.
Then came movies like 1983s
War Games, which also fueled
the publics fear of hacking. In
the film, a hacker unwittingly
comes close to starting the next
World War, thinking its all a
computer game.
It happened because of Holly-
wood and because there was no
other word out there, said An-
drew Howard, 28, a research sci-
entist at the Georgia Tech Re-
search Institute.
The 80s and 90s were also a
time when computers spread
from geek circles to office cubi-
cles and home desktops. They
were becoming mainstream. But
they were still mysterious to
most people. They wondered:
How do they work? Is someone
going to break into them?

is a nod to Levy, who codified
The Hacker Ethic in his book
about the subculture. Among the
principles: Hackers should be
judged by their hacking and
Always yield to the hands-on
imperative.
The hands-on imperative is
important to Facebook. Zucker-
berg still spends hours writing
computer code, even though he
has hired hundreds of engineers.
That ethos helped Zucker-
bergs social network to prosper.
As the once mighty MySpace
stopped innovating, its users
flocked to the cleaner, crisper, al-
ways-changing Facebook. News
Corp. gave up on MySpace and
sold it for $35 million last June.
Meanwhile, Facebooks user
base ballooned to 845 million,
even as the website has gone
through changes and redesigns
that have angered members and
privacy advocates.
Zuckerberg and others may
yet be able to clean up the term.
Meetups Hamblen thinks its al-
ready happening.
Hacking just means building something quickly or testing the boundaries of what can be done, CEO Zuckerberg says
For Facebook, Hacker Way is business culture

Mark Zuckerberg during a 2011 meeting. The term hacking dates back over 50 years, and hacker
was worn as a badge of honor. A scientist says the term took on a bad connotation due to Hollywood.
The word
hacker has
an unfairly
negative con-
notation from
being por-
trayed in the
media as peo-
ple who break

WILKES-BARRE Barnes &
Noble Bookstore, Wilkes-Barre,
was bustling Saturday with the
sounds of childreneager tohear a
story about a colorful mouse and
his love for cookies.
Story Hour gives area children
an opportunity to hear the read-
ing of an age-appropriate book
and to interact with other chil-
dren their age. It also gives them
an opportunity to become famil-
iar with the workings of a book-
store and to sample a host of
books contained in the childrens
section of the store.
Although the day was cold and
a bit dreary, the bookstore was fil-
led with color and a sense of fun,
reflected both by the childrens
clothing and the books that filled
the shelves.
Not only were the children de-
lighted to hear a reading of If
You Give a Mouse a Cookie, by
Laura Numeroff, but they also
were able to meet the main char-
acter of the book, the mouse,
with a pink nose and clad in blue
overalls, looking, of course, for
his cookie.
Although some of the children
seemeda little intimidatedby the
size of the 5-foot-tall mouse, most
enthusiastically gathered around
him on his hunt for the cookies.
Thegoodnews was that cookiein
hand, the mouse then offered
cookies to all children, much to
their delight.
She looks forward to this all
week, saidDanielle Brewington,
of her daughter Madison, 6, and
shes learning to read.
Madison smiled broadly as she
gathered with her friends to
browse through the great variety
of books in the childrens section.
It was evident that she thorough-
ly enjoyed the story, the charac-
ter, the cookies, andother attend-
ees.
Approximately 20 participants
were very attentive during the
reading, many of whom found a
comfortable place ontheir moms
or dads lap to settle in and listen.
Eric and Michele Ruggiero,
Shavertown, brought their chil-
dren Gabriele, 8, and Tonna, 5, to
the story reading. Both said they
would be attending future story
times because they had thor-
oughly enjoyed the day Saturday.
Hector Lopez, and his chil-
dren, Isabella and Ilyana, also ex-
pressed enthusiasm for Satur-
days reading and said they come
on a regular basis.
One time I picked up a book
and I was able to read the whole
thing, said Isabella, smiling at
her mastery of reading.
Mollie Rance, a student at
Wilkes and the reader for Satur-
days story time, said she was de-
lighted with the turnout and the
spirit in which the children so en-
thusiastically participated. She
also remembered having If You
Give a Mouse a Cookie being
read to her as a young child and
noted that it is part of an award
winning series.
John Chaump, the store man-
ager, said that Story Time en-
courages both children and their
parents to spendtime at the store
and to develop a love for reading.
Cookie-loving mouse is sweet treat for Story Hour

Ron Solt has a unique perspec-
tive on the city thats hosting to-
days Super Bowl he not only
lived there, he used to play pro
football there.
Raised in the Miners Mills sec-
tion of Wilkes-Barre and a foot-
ball, wrestling and track star at
CoughlinHighSchool, Solt was a
first-round draft pick
for the Indianapolis
Colts and lived a few
miles outside the city
while he was an offen-
sive lineman for the
team from 1984 to
1988.
Solt, 49, was traded
to the Philadelphia
Eagles in 1988 and
played there until he
returned to the Colts
in1992, ending his ca-
reer inIndianapolis af-
ter spending another
three years there.
People out there
are the same type of
people as here in the
Wyoming Valley ve-
ry hospitable, Solt
said during an inter-
view last week at his mothers
home in Laflin.
Solts mother, Sandra Sitoski,
agreed.
We used to go to the home
games at the (former) Hoosier
Dome. Thecitywasverypretty.
Nice restaurants there and the
people are very friendly in Indi-
anapolis, verylaidback,shesaid.
Hoosier hospitality
Its that Hoosier hospitality
of which Indy residents are prob-
ably most proud, according to Li-
sa Wallace, communications
manager for the Indianapolis
Convention and Visitors Associ-
ation.
We really pride ourselves on
being friendly and welcoming.
And theres a tradition of many
volunteers stepping up to make
events work in our city, Wallace
said.
Wallace said organizers origi-
nally wanted about 8,000 volun-
teers to help with Super Bowl
preparations and work. More
than12,000 signed up.
Locally, were known for roll-
ing out the red carpet for our
guests and doing everything we
cantomakesuretheyhaveagreat
time while theyre visiting. Were
not as big as NewYork or Boston,
but we take pride in being in the
Midwest, she said.
But dont let all that Midwest-
erncharmfool youin-
to thinking that the
city is old-school.
Wallace said the
city has invested
more than $3 billion,
not only in prepara-
tion for hosting Su-
per Bowl XLVI, but to
make the city a big-
ger and better visitor
and tourism destina-
tion.
Indianapolis has
doubledthesizeof its
convention center,
opened Lucas Oil
Stadium in 2008 and
is renovating Geor-
gia Street, which is
nowbeing utilized as
Super Bowl Village,
for use as outdoor
convention and meeting space. It
has the worlds largest J.W. Mar-
riott and climate-controlled sky-
walks connect 12 downtown ho-
tels.
Wallace said the city is de-
signedtobeconvenient for down-
town visitors, with 200 restau-
rants and 50 attractions within
walking distance. The citys 7.5-
mile pedestrian- and bicycle-
friendly urban trail has garnered
international attention.
Theres a huge mall in the cen-
ter of the city and Indianapolis is
second only to Washington, D.C.,
for the number of memorials.
And, Wallace said, the city has
hosted more than 400 national
and international sporting
events.
Of course, theracingcapital of
the world is most famous for
hosting the Indianapolis 500,
which celebrated its 100th anni-
versaryin2011at theIndianapolis
Motor Speedway, she said.
Convenient beltway
Solt said he likes that every-
thing right there is centralized.
They have a beltway going
around the whole city and any-
thing inside the city is only 15
minutes away.
Anddespitedozensof great res-
taurants Outback Steakhouse
on the northwest side of the city
was Solts favorite and attrac-
tions, his favorite Midwestern
memories were not of inner-city
life, but of the great outdoors. He
first built a home innearby Zions-
ville, Ind., sold it after a couple
years and built another in Dan-
ville.
Danville, Solt said, is a very,
nice, quiet town. Theres good
huntingout there, goodfishing. It
kept me busy in the off-season
when I got some time to get out.
Solt said every Tuesday in the
off-season, he went hunting and
fishing with the late Bill Scifres,
who wrote an outdoors column
for the Indianapolis Star newspa-
per.
Usuallyinthespring, Idbetur-
key hunting or fishing, and then
picking mushrooms was good.
Youdwakeupinthemorningand
thered be hundreds out in the
fields, Solt recalled, noting that
his grandfather, Angelo Pappy
Solt, loved to hunt with him
there. Solt hopes to take him on
another hunting trip there some-
time soon.
Big deer around here are may-
be 150 pounds, Solt said, com-
paring typical Pennsylvania buck
to one a friendof his baggedinIn-
diana that weighed in at 220
pounds.
The deer out there used to
feed on the corn and soybeans in
the fields all over the place, so
they were big, fat pigs, he said
with a laugh.
And Solt has been giving some
serious thought to returning to
his old stomping ground.
I reallythinkI wouldliketoget
a hold of Tom Zupancic, my
strength coach out in Indiana, a
really good friend of mine. Id like
to get involved in something
team-related, maybe a strength
coach position or offensive line
position and do something with
Indy. Indy just restocked their
team, so Id like to get some peo-
ple in there and help grow them
fromground level, Solt said.
But hes alsolookingforwardto
having a new home built in
Thornhurst, a few miles east of
Bear Creek Township.
Something drew me back to
this area. Imnot surewhat it was.
Youre born here, youre raised
here, itskindof inyourblood. You
cant get ridof it. Theresnowhere
like the Poconos, Solt said.

Allegiance to Giants
Kelly Clisham, an office assistant
from Nanticoke who, like Makowski,
has been a Giants fan since birth
thanks to their respective fathers influ-
ence, shares Makowskis respect for Pa-
triots fans as well as his disdain for the
Eagles. But she also knows how Monko
feels.
Growing up in the 80s in the middle
of Eagles country when the Giants were
pretty abysmal in the late 70s, early
80s, wasnt easy. Everybody else was an
Eagles fan or a Cowboys fan. It was bad
enough being a girl who liked football,
but I was a girl who liked the Giants,
Clisham joked.
Clisham and her husband, Paul, have
a friendly wager with another couple on
todays game. The losers have to take
the winners out for dinner while wear-
ing the winning teams jerseys.
I could not make that bet on an Ea-
gles or a Cowboys game. Even the
thought of putting on green and silver
or silver and blue I think would give me
hives or make me violently ill. I couldnt
do it. Theres like a real ingrained hatred
of those teams there, Clisham said.
Clishams brother, Dan Weller, said
hes seen more Patriots fans crop up in
the last 10 years or so since theyve start-
ed to achieve success, but luckily we
dont have to deal with that too often.
But Rob Padden said he feels confi-
dent that the Clishams will be dealing
out some cash when they take him and
his wife, Karen, out to dinner and that
Kelly and Paul will be wearing Patriots
jerseys when they go.
A Patriots fan since fourth grade,
when he became enamored with the
football-hiking Patriot logo, Padden, 41,
said his team may have been a little
overconfident in 2007-2008, but has a
really good shot this year.
Padden thinks the biggest difference
between Patriots and Giants fans is that
the Giants are surprised to make the
playoffs and the Super Bowl, but Patri-
ots fans, and the fans of a fewother NFL
teams, have come to expect it of their
team every year.
Clishamsaid a love for the Giants is a
family affair, and while her father will
be at the Super Bowl in Indianapolis to-
day, the rest of the family will be watch-
ing the game on TV at her parents
home. She said the whole family piles
into the yard for a ceremonial bonfire
whenever the Giants make the playoffs.
A FedEx driver by trade, the Dun-
more resident embodies the loyalty of
sports fans in both blue-collar North-
eastern cities that have shared a bitter
rivalry for 90-plus years, ever since the
Boston Red Sox sold Babe Ruth to the
NewYork Yankees in the1919-20 off-sea-
son.
After the sale, the Sox didnt win a
World Series until they wreaked their re-
venge on the Yankees in their run to the
2004 championship. The superstitious
refer to Bostons 86-year drought as
The Curse of the Bambino.
Its ironic because now theres anoth-
er battle between Boston and New
York, Monko said.
Paul Makowski, a 32-year-old phar-
macist from Newport Township and a
lifelong Giants fan, sees the football ri-
valry growing between the two big ci-
ties.
I think theyre both blue-collar, hard-
working towns. At their cores, theyre
the same. But I think
over the years, New
York, as a city in gen-
eral has like twice
as many champion-
ships, Makowski
said.
I think the whole
Curse of the Bambi-
no with Babe Ruth
goes back with that.
Football hasnt been
that much of a rival-
ry. Its been more-so
with baseball. But I
think slowly but
surely, its starting to
come around, he
said.
I think with foot-
ball, its a very friend-
ly rivalry. With base-
ball, its kind of more out for blood and
take it harder to heart, you know? Ma-
kowski said.
Fan demeanor different
As a group, Monko sees New York
fans as in-your-face arrogant and pas-
sionate. Boston fans are passionate, too,
but New York fans take it to the max.
Personally, I dont like to go around
boasting and bragging, but if somebody
makes a comment to me, Ill tell them a
thing or two.
A Giants season ticket holder for the
past two years, Makowski sees fellow
New York fans as tre-
mendously loyal. And I
think that if youre a
bum, theyll tell you
youre a bum. Theyre
not going to sugarcoat
it. Patriots fans,
theyre fine, I have no
beef with them. I
think the thing with Pa-
triots fans is Tom Brady.
If youre a Patriots fan,
you love him. If youre
not a Patriots fan, you
look at him and hes a
pretty boy.
And dont even get
him started on Philadel-
phia.
Truly, the rivalry has
become the Giants and
the Eagles. Eagles
fans always complain, they always cry.
Win a Super Bowl first, then start run-
ning your mouth. Thats the big differ-
ence between a Giants fan and an Eagles
fan. A Giants fan can run their mouth
and can back it up by talking on the field
and winning Super Bowls. Win or lose
on Sunday, Ill be happy knowing that
the Philadelphia Eagles will go another
year without winning the Super Bowl,
Makowski said.
My son was 4 the last time the Gi-
ants-Patriots met in the Super Bowl. His
summary of the game was, We yelled
and yelled and yelled. Then we went
outside and yelled and yelled and yelled.
Then we yelled and yelled and yelled.
And sometimes you cry when youre
happy, she said.

THE TIMES LEADER SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2012
W
ith the Academy Awards com-
ing up three weeks from today,
Im thinking of handing out a
statuette of my own.
It would go to a 1949 Italian movie
entitled Bitter Rice. The category
would be Best Movie That it Took Me
60 Years to Finally See, and the award
would feature one of those little tradi-
tional sculptures of three guys who
hear no evil, see no evil, speak no
evil.
Let me note right away that Bitter
Rice is not the most gripping or mem-
orable movie Ive ever watched. In fact,
its more just a very good example of
black-and-white, post-World War II
European cinema verite epics featur-
ing passion, crime, violence and be-
trayal.
So why did I plunk myself down in
front of the TV, iced tea in hand, when
I spotted this antique in the Times
Leader listings?
I jumped on it because in the pre-
DVD era the film had been nearly im-
possible to see in this country, even
though it had garnered a fine reputa-
tion in its native Italy and turned its
star, Silvana Magnano, into a continen-
tal screen icon.
In America it had been con-
demned. As a child, I heard adults say
in hushed tones that Bitter Rice was
one of those movies that would guaran-
tee you a permanent aisle seat in Hell
and all the brimstone-flavored popcorn
you could eat, if indeed any local thea-
ter was audacious enough to present it.
Hey, what better recommendation
could there be?
Lets pause for some history. Dec-
ades ago, and this is probably news to
people younger than 50, a film could be
condemned by powerful ratings orga-
nizations, ensuring it about as much
chance for survival as Bela Lugosis
Dracula once Van Helsing hit town.
The crime of Bitter Rice had
something to do with this: it was about
attractive, working-class Silvana Mag-
nano harvesting rice in Italy, while
he-men Raf Vallone and Vittorio Gass-
man competed for her and hardly any-
one had bothered to get married before
the movie started. There were also
some fights between women.
Yes, youre right, the Police Blotter
in Section A of todays paper contains
more lurid goings-on, but this was 1949
and rating didnt just mean a quiet
little PG-13 slapped on the screen. It
meant a lightning bolt of fury from on
high that could have led to a movie
house being shut down by local author-
ities.
So most theaters, unwilling to antag-
onize anyone, simply didnt show the
worst-offending pictures, particularly
those pesky foreign ones.
An Internet search reveals that come-
dy classic Some Like it Hot (1959)
and James Bond film From Russia
With Love (1963) also drew condem-
nation. By the late 1950s, however,
times had changed and such labeling
didnt keep much of anything out of the
theaters.
Bitter Rice, though, was filmed in a
more stringent time. Occasionally
producers of that era dug in and
fought. One condemned American
romantic comedy, The Moon is Blue
(1951), challenged the system and
became embroiled in a legal battle that
it finally won before the U.S. Supreme
Court. More often, though, a studio
would simply make revisions and cuts
to reduce complaints enough to get its
product into the theaters.
My personal award, then, goes to
Bitter Rice for bravely showing us
more real life than some could accept.
Think of it as the Saving Private
Ryan of love stories; at whatever cost,
none of the bad stuff was held back.
And you can bet your last Good and
Plenty on that.

Was cosmetology always your true
calling? I love animals and wanted to
be a veterinarian, but that notion got
squashed when I was really young
after my Dad told me I would have to
put pets to sleep. It was beauty school
after I heard that.
So is there an interesting back story on
how your interest in beauty school
developed? Its a typical little girls
story. When I was young I would play
with Barbies. I cut their hair and braid-
ed it. That youthful interest progressed
as I went through high school. I went
to Star Beauty Academy after graduat-
ing from Riverside and was a licensed
cosmetologist by the time I was 19. In
1994, Stephen Salvaggio launched the
Sports Page salon in West Pittston and
I was styling mens hair there shortly
after it opened.
You have excelled at your craft for
more than 17 years and are now a
General Manager. What have you
done since obtaining that title? I
was hired as the manager of the West
Pittston location on April Fools Day of
2000 by Stephen. I have run that
location ever since. I have also man-
aged four other Sports Page Salons in
the opening phases. When Stephen
opens the new salon in Dallas I will be
helping get that venue set up and
running. I really look forward to that.
What do you look forward to after a
long day? I enjoy relaxing at home
when I am not out shopping. I love to
shop and collect various items such as
flamingo statuettes and Louis Vuitton
purses. I also have a passion for Eiffel
Tower miniatures.
The Eiffel Tower? Ever been to Paris? I
had a wonderful time there. Its all
about the great atmosphere, food,
drinks, everything.
What is your favorite food or drink? I
love pretty much anything with chick-
en and I really like Crown Royal.
Favorite music then and now? Donna
Summer is my all time favorite and I
will always love disco. Currently, I
really enjoy all songs by Pitbull.
How about TV shows or movies? I love
the Jersey Shore and I am a huge fan

Larry Kansky says
every day in the
United States, peo-
ple are arrested for things they
didnt do.
And Kansky, a former podia-
trist and surgeon turned attor-
ney, says hes one of them.
Thats why he has now dedi-
cated his life to helping those in
similar circumstances by repre-
senting them in a court of law.
I was angry for a very long
time, Kansky said in a recent
interview about the 2007 drug
charges lodged against him by
the state Attorney Generals Of-
fice. But, I had to let it go be-
cause like a cancer, it would
have killed me.
A career lost
Kansky, 54, of Mountain Top,
had been practicing podiatry for
over 20 years before two investi-
gators came into one of his
three offices and said he was be-
ing charged with obtaining a
controlled substance by misrep-
resentation or fraud.
Court documents say Kansky
ordered more than 2,000 units
of Hydrocodone, a prescription
narcotic used to treat pain, and
had them delivered to his home,
a violation of his Drug Enforce-
ment Administration license.
Prosecutors said the prescrip-
tions should have been deliver-
ed to his offices.
I didnt know that, Kansky
said. They told me I had to
keep a log, required by the DEA,
of where the pills went. But I
didnt have it. I didnt know.
Kansky said he offered to
show agents his patients charts
to account for the pills even
though he felt it was a violation
of the federal Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability
Act (HIPPA) law.
After a battle that left Kansky
a different person, pleading no
contest to the charge and re-
ceiving six months probation,
Kanskys record was expunged
and a bad taste left in his
mouth.
I asked for a lawyer five
times, Kansky said, adding he
felt intimidated when agents
threatened large fines, seizing
of his property and further pros-
ecution.
I did what (the prosecutors)
wanted, Kansky said. There
was no way out.
Kansky resigned from his life
of podiatry, where he had
served as chief of surgery at St.
Josephs Medical Center in Ha-
zleton, had offices in Hazleton,
Mountain Top and Blakeslee
and was the first podiatrist to be
allowed to perform surgery at
both St. Josephs and Hazleton
Larry Kansky, a former podiatrist and surgeon, became an attorney after two investigators charged him with obtaining a controlled sub-
stance by misrepresentation or fraud.

At the initial stage, a disability
examiner and a doctor review your
medical and other records. If a
claim is denied and an appeal is
fled requesting an Administrative
Law Judge (ALJ), the ALJ will
make a new and completely
independent decision.
Attorney Zabresky R.N. JD
of Top Gun.
Any favorite quotes or books? I
love you to the moon and back.
(from the childrens book, Guess
How Much I love You)
What was your first car? It was a
1989 red Nissan Pulsar. After I
bought it, the car was hit like 15
times without me in it.
Its Super Bowl week. How does
football figure into your life
outside of your boyfriend being
the Wyoming Area head coach?
Giants fan? No way! Dallas
Cowboys all the way. I grew up
liking Troy Aikman.
Outside of your work and person-
al relationships, what is most
important to you in life? Thats
easy. Ever since I got my dog,
Jasmine, 13 years ago, she is my
life. I could have the worst day
and go home, open the door and
see her and everything is okay.
She makes me happy.

General Hospital.
I decided I was going to try
to be a lawyer, Kansky said.
A new career found
In late 2008, Kansky applied
to law school, and was accept-
ed to the University of Balti-
more School of Law in Mary-
land.
I used all the injustice that
engulfed me to propel me for-
ward, Kansky said. I used my
personal traumatic experience
to learn everything I could
about the law.
Kansky admittedly felt out
of place among younger stu-
dents, bringing a pencil and
loose leaf paper to class while
everyone else had shiny, new
computers.
Kansky says law school gave
him skills he never had that
made him a better communi-
cator, researcher, writer and
public speaker.
I finished law school in just
2 years and graduated with
honors, Kansky said.
After graduating in January
2011, Kansky and passed the
Pennsylvania Bar Exam on the
first try.
Kansky did internships with
Wilkes-Barre-based attorneys
Tom Marsilio and Veronica
and Clement Kisailus, who are
all now his next-door neigh-
bors at his Darling Street prac-
tice.
A husband and father of two
grown daughters, Kansky fo-
cuses his practice on criminal
defense and personal injury.
My medical malpractice
professor said I should do
(personal injury) because I
could read (medical charts),
Kansky said, adding criminal
defense was a no-brainer due
to the injustice he received as
a defendant.
I experienced what its like
to have a powerful govern-
ment with a lot of resources go
against you, Kansky said.
Fighting injustice
Kansky says he misses his
former patients and work he
loved as a podiatrist, but be-
lieves everything happens for
a reason.
I never closed the door on
podiatry, Kansky said, but
that he could never return to
working in NEPA.
I would go to a foreign
country or (another area) to
help the underprivileged,
Kansky said, adding that it
may be a conflict now that he
is an attorney and may repre-
sent plaintiffs who are suing
hospitals or other places he
may have worked at.
I never dreamed Id be here,
but I love serving people, and
this is another way Im helping
people improve their quality
of life, Kansky said.
Hes already purchased a
home on Darling Street where
he plans on expanding his law
firm, and says that a book is
in the works that will tell his
story in greater detail.
Now, I can fight for justice
for others, throughout Penn-
sylvania, Kansky said. I will
not stay silent ever again.

THE REMATCH
Eli and Brady meet again on NFLs biggest stage
INDIANAPOLISMVPquar-
terbacks on marquee franchises.
A rematch of a nail-biter from
four years ago, featuring many of
the same key characters. Madon-
na and plenty of Manning Eli,
and Peyton, too.
This Super Bowl certainly has
all the makings of another thrill-
er, the perfect finish to a season
that began in turmoil and wound
up the most successful in league
history.
The NFL couldnt have
planned it any better.
Its actually been a very fun
week here, saidPatriots quarter-
back Tom Brady, seeking his
fourth Super Bowl ring in 11 sea-
sons, and doing it in the city
where archrival Peyton Manning
has worked for 13 years if not
for much longer, given his health
issues and disagreements with
Colts management. Its a bit sur-
real to be playing in Indys home
stadium and to be practicing at
their facility.
Its been even weirder for Eli
Manning to have led the Giants
here, only to find his superb sea-
son and chase for a second cham-
pionship overshadowed by big
brother.
The most popular storyline
this week has been Peytons pain
in his neck. Or, rather, his status
following three neck surgeries in
19 months; whether the Colts
will keep him around, at the cost
of a $28 million roster bonus due
in March; and whether hes truly
feudingwithowner JimIrsays re-
building organization.
Showdown offers
something for all

INTHE BIGTIME: Henry Hynoski began his climb to NFL success as a featured back
for Southern Columbias state championship football teams. Today, Hynoski will
get to go for another championship with the New York Giants. Page 6C
INTO THE HALL: Former New York Jets running back Curtis Martin was one of five
players elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday. Also elected were
Chris Doleman, Cortez Kennedy, Willie Roaf, Dermontti Dawson, and senior selec-
tion Jack Butler. Page 6C
TYNES ON THEIR SIDE: If Super Bowl XLVI comes down to a field goal, the New
York Giants are more than comfortable giving Lawernce Tynes a shot. Tynes al-
ready has two game-winning kicks in NFC championship games. Page 6C
THE EXPERTS LIKE : Find out why the New England Patriots will win todays big

SUPER BOWL XLVI I NSI DE
THE NEW
York Giants
built their
Super Bowl
legacy on a
punishing
rushing attack
and on a de-
fense thats even harsher on oppo-
nents, going back to the days of
Bill Parcells.
This season, they added nearly
5,000 yards worth of passing from
quarterback Eli Manning to the
mix.
None of those ingredients
would have turned out to be such
a Super Bowl treat for the Giants
today if they didnt start sizzling
as a team.
If youve got 53 guys in that
locker room, all for one, one for
all, Giants defensive tackle Jus-
tin Tuck was saying a couple
weeks ago, you can do any-
thing.
The idea of teamwork has been
around since the beginning of
football time, and it has become
so overplayed and overused in
sports, people tend to quickly
disregard it.
Try getting to the Super Bowl
without it.
The Giants did for awhile.
And it nearly kept them out of
the playoffs.
The Giants beat the Patriots,
who theyll see in Super Bowl
XVLI tonight, in a midseason
game while running their record
to 6-2. After that, everyone sud-
denly wanted to be the toast of
the town, to become the biggest
star, to make the next headlining
play.
It showed up when the Giants
lost four straight games and five
of six, very nearly dropping out of
Giants proving better than
sum of their many parts

Cody Wild, shown above, took a
backup goaltender to be the starter
on his fantasy hockey team. A back-
up? Yep. But when you think about it,
it was really a shrewd Fantasy GM
move. After all, the player Wild took
would likely be a starter on a lot of
other NHL teams.
The Rhode Island native also stayed
close to his New England roots when
he chose his top defenseman. But it
wasnt a homer pick, the guy is among
the top 10 in scoring for defensemen.
Wild chose only one Pittsburgh
Penguin for his team and a couple of
players that have yet to be chosen by
anyone else.
FORWARD Evgeni Malkin (Pitts-
burgh), Hes just unbelievable the
way hes playing right now.
DEFENSEMAN Keith Yandle
(Phoenix), Hes from New England
and I have to support the local guys.
Its his third year and hes going to
have 40 points, thats pretty good.
GOALTENDER Tuukka Rask (Bos-
ton), Hes a hidden gem. He could
start on any other team, just about.
POWER PLAY SPECIALIST Joe
Thornton (San Jose), Hes a great
passer and can set guys up.
PENALTY KILL SPECIALIST
Daniel Paille (Boston)
SHOOTOUT SPECIALIST Ales
Hemsky (Edmonton)
ENFORCER Shawn Thornton
(Boston), Hes tough and he can play.
Hes a pretty scary guy.
AGITATOR/PEST Cal Clutterbuck
(Minnesota), He leads the league in
hits all the time. Hes a pain in the
butt.
HEAD COACH John Tortorella
(New York Rangers), He seems pretty
intense. And funny, too, the way he
yaps at guys. He holds everyone to
the same level.
ALL-TIME GREAT Bobby Orr
(Boston, Chicago), He was an offen-
sive defenseman who could get up in
the play, put up points and even block
shots in his own end. He changed the
game for us.
Fantasy GM
As a pro hockey player for the last nine
years, Ryan Craig knows what its like to have
the popularity and recognition that comes with
being a professional athlete.
In his second season with the Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton Penguins, Craig is now fully aware of
how that popularity can be used to help others,
whether raffling off jerseys to raise money for
charity or rallying support for the military.
Ive never worn so many different jerseys in
my life until I came to Wilkes-Barre, Craig
said. Its a great thing.
On Feb. 11, Craig and his Penguin teammates
will hold a Thanks 4 Fighting Night to raise
awareness of two diseases and funds for the
Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
Its a fight that has taken on special meaning
for the Penguins, as one of their own is waging
a battle against leukemia.
Chris Kobela, the Penguins season ticket
sales executive, is currently in his second fight
against the disease. He was first diagnosed
with leukemia in 2008 and, after a three-and-a-
half year battle that included chemotherapy,
Kobela won the fight.
Last November, however, a blood test deter-
mined that the leukemia had returned, and
Kobela would have to fight again.
This time, he has the Penguins on his side.
Its nice to see, Kobela said. With the Pen-
guin players, you have the ability to reach the
public and all the tools you need to raise mon-
ey for a cause.
Thanks 4 Fighting Night will raise the bar
when it comes to generating awareness and
funds for the battle against leukemia and lym-
phoma, because its not just the Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton Penguins pitching in, its the entire
organization. The team will raffle off an au-
tographed Mario Lemieux jersey after the game
to benefit Angel 34, a national organization
dedicated to finding a cure for childhood can-
cers.
For Kobela, thats what matters most.
When I go to the hospital for my treat-
ments, its sad seeing the children that have to
go through the chemotherapy process and the
families who have a hard time making ends
meet, he said. I wanted to find a way to
help.
So did the Penguins, just as they have for
numerous causes this season. Two jersey auc-
tions this season have raised $24,000, and the
team has raised more than $80,000 for char-
itable causes through auctions and raffles.
The way Craig sees it; its all part of being a
professional hockey player.
Its a big family in here and we all do what
we can to help the team win, captain Ryan
Craig said. But in the greater picture, whether
its our military veterans or people with an
illness fighting for their lives, well do what we
can to help those teams win as well.
Sometimes that means seeing rough and
tumble hockey players doing some unordinary
things, like using pink tape on their sticks and
wearing pink jerseys on their backs.
The Penguins did just that on Jan. 7 when
they teamed up with the American Cancer
Society to raise awareness in the fight against
breast cancer. The jerseys, as well as auto-
graphed pink pucks, were auctioned and sold
at the end of the night to raise money for nu-
merous charities.
Hockey players wearing pink? The Penguins
did it with pride.
Its not something that normally happens,
but you see guys stepping out of their comfort
zone more to support a cause, Craig said. As
players, we understand that the jerseys that we
wear on a particular night can be used to raise
money for some great causes.
Anytime were asked to give back or donate
some time for a cause, our guys jump at the
chance.
The Penguins do it because while the gene-
rosity provides a needed benefit to the causes
they are supporting, such acts also mean a lot
to the players themselves.
It doesnt matter if youre a pro athlete or
whatever, these things can happen to anyone,
said Penguins forward Geoff Walker. Anytime
theres a chance to do something to help sup-
port those people, Ill take that opportunity
every time.
You sometimes wish you could do more.
The way Kobela sees it, the Penguins are
doing plenty. Being able to lend a hand in the
preparations for the Thanks 4 Fighting Night
has given Kobela a welcome respite from a
daily routine of treatments at the Lehigh Valley
Hospital-Muhlenberg.
Working for the Penguins and helping with
the Thanks 4 Fighting Night has allowed Kobe-
la to maintain a sense of normalcy in his life.
At the end of the day, sometimes I am tired
and I do feel weak, he said. There are times
Id rather lay down on the couch, but I dont.
Thats not who I was before I was sick.
And thats why the Penguins are eager to
help pick up the fight.
Whether its a breast cancer survivor com-
ing out to drop the puck, the military nights or
someone in our front office thats fighting, you
see the strength that these people have. These
are stories that are real-life, Craig said. We
play hockey for a living and were very lucky to
be able to do that, but those who are dealing
with these things and fighting these illnesses,
theyre the people we really should look up to.
Willing to give up the shirts on their backs

SOUTH BEND, Ind. Notre
Dame coach Mike Brey thought
his team took big strides in its
development Saturday.
Freshman Pat Connaughton
had 23 points and 11 rebounds
as Notre Dame made 11 three-
pointers and beat No. 15 Mar-
quette 76-59.
I told them in one of the last
media timeouts, I feel like Im
coaching men today, Brey
said. I thought today we took
another step and kind of played
like men.
Connaughton shot 5 for 8 on
3s to lead the Irish (15-8, 7-3 Big
East) to their fourth straight
win. Notre Dame has defeated
five ranked opponents this
season.
Eric Atkins chipped in 18
points and Jerian Grant had 12
in a strong performance by the
Irish backcourt.
Were very cool competitors
when we had a chance to put it
away. Im thrilled to see that
from this group, Brey said. We
played a heck of a basketball
team today.
The loss snapped a seven-
game conference winning
streak for Marquette (19-5, 8-3).
Darius Johnson-Odom scored
10 points for the Golden Eagles
in the first half, but was held to
just two points the rest of the
game.
Vander Blue chipped in 12
points and seven rebounds for
Marquette. The Eagles shot just
2 of 13 from 3-point range.
Notre Dame made its move
after falling behind 16-12 to the
fast-paced Marquette team. The
Irish used a 9-0 run with five
points coming from Pat Con-
naughton to lead 21-16 with
6:48 left in the first half. Eric
Atkins capped the three-minute
run in a blur, flying past the
Marquette defense for a fast-
break layup.
Johnson-Odom helped the
Golden Eagles keep pace with
Notre Dame while the offense
shot just 36.7 percent in the first
half. Johnson-Odom scored 10
points and Blue added eight
points and four rebounds.
Marquette coach Buzz Wil-
liams pointed to poor perimeter
defense as the difference in the
game.
Davante Gardner, who nor-
mally starts for the Golden
Eagles, was sidelined for the
second-straight game with a
knee injury.
Kentucky 86,
South Carolina 52
COLUMBIA, S.C. Anthony
Davis had 22 points, eight re-
bounds and eight blocks as No.
1 Kentucky wiped away the
memories of the last time the
top-ranked Wildcats came to
South Carolina with a victory.
Kentucky (23-1) has won 15
straight and moved to 9-0 in the
Southeastern Conference for
the first time in seven years.
And theyll stay atop the rank-
ings, unlike in 2010 when the
No. 1 Wildcats were stunned
68-62 by the Gamecocks.
This time, Davis and Ter-
rence Jones made sure there
wouldnt be a similar flop. The
two combined for 34 points in
the first half as Kentucky took a
52-25 lead at the break and
eventually increased the margin
to 41 points. Damien Leonard
scored a career-high 19 points
for South Carolina (9-13, 1-7).
Syracuse 95, St. Johns 70
NEW YORK Fab Melo
scored a career-high 14 points in
his return after a three-game
absence and Jim Boeheim tied
Dean Smith for third place on
the victory list with win No. 879
as No. 2 Syracuse dominated St.
Johns.
Syracuse (23-1, 10-1 Big East)
rallied behind the return of the
7-foot Melo, taking a 41-27
halftime lead and blowing it
open by starting the second half
on a 16-3 run in front of a sellout
crowd of 19,979 at Madison
Square Garden, most of whom
were wearing orange.
Melo missed the last three
games as he resolved an aca-
demic issue. He had been al-
lowed to practice with the team
and he looked ready from the
start of his first game back, once
again a force in the middle on
the back line of the 2-3 zone.
After tying Smith, the long-
time coach at North Carolina,
Boeheim trails only fellow Hall
of Famers Mike Krzyzewski
(919) and Bob Knight (902) on
the career wins list.
DAngelo Harrison had 23
points for the Red Storm (10-13,
4-7).
Ohio State 58, Wisconsin 52
MADISON, Wis. Jared
Sullinger scored 24 points and
William Buford hit a critical
3-pointer down the stretch,
leading Ohio State to the victo-
ry.
Deshaun Thomas scored 16
points and Buford added 11 for
the Buckeyes (20-3, 8-2 Big
Ten), who held onto their lead
in the conference standings.
Sullinger also had 10 rebounds.
Ryan Evans scored 14 points
for the Badgers (18-6, 7-4), who
were 5 for 27 from 3-point
range.
Ohio State ended a nine-game
losing streak to Wisconsin in
Madison and avoided a re-
peat of last years comeback by
the Badgers.
Indiana 78, Purdue 61
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind.
Victor Oladipo scored a career-
high 23 points to help No. 20
Indiana defeat Purdue and
break a five-game losing streak
to its in-state rival.
Cody Zeller had 16 points and
eight rebounds and freshman
Remy Abell scored a season-
best 13 points for the Hoosiers
(18-6, 6-6 Big Ten). Verdell
Jones III, one of Indianas pri-
mary ballhandlers, missed the
game with a shoulder injury.
The Hoosiers had lost five of
their previous seven games, but
claimed just their fourth road
win of the season.
Robbie Hummel had 16
points and 10 rebounds to lead
Purdue. The senior came up
limping after he went to the
ground in the final minutes, but
he played through it. Hummel
missed last season with a torn
ACL in his right knee. D.J. Byrd
scored 15 points and Kelsey
Barlow added 12 for the Boiler-
makers (15-8, 5-5).
North Carolina 83,
Maryland 74
COLLEGE PARK, Md.
Tyler Zeller scored 22 points,
John Henson had 17 points and
12 rebounds, and North Car-
olina rallied for the win.
The Tar Heels (20-3, 7-1 At-
lantic Coast Conference) got all
they could handle from the
upstart Terrapins, who didnt
lead over the final nine minutes
but never let North Carolina get
comfortable down the stretch.
UNC star Harrison Barnes,
who sprained his left ankle
Tuesday against Wake Forest,
scored 18 points on 5-for-15
shooting. He started slowly but
was instrumental after Zeller
picked up his fourth foul with
11:44 to go.
Kendall Marshall contributed
16 assists, helping North Car-
olina to its fifth straight win and
14th in 15 games.
Terrell Stoglin scored 20 for
Maryland (13-9, 3-5).
Baylor 64,
Oklahoma State 60
STILLWATER, Okla. Perry
Jones III had 16 points and 11
rebounds in Baylors tight win,
and Quincy Acy provided the
go-ahead basket and a key offen-
sive rebound down the stretch.
The Cowboys (11-12, 4-6 Big
12) rallied from a nine-point
deficit to take a 57-56 lead on
Keiton Pages wide-open 3-
pointer from the right wing
with 1:42 to play.
After a timeout, Acy answer-
ed at the other end with a layup
set up by Pierre Jacksons drive.
Acy also grabbed the rebound
when Brady Heslip missed the
front end of a one-and-one free
throw opportunity with 6.8
seconds left, allowing Anthony
Jones to hit two foul shots to
close it out for Baylor (21-2,
8-2).
Brian Williams scored a ca-
reer-high 23 points for Oklaho-
ma State, which was bidding to
win back-to-back home games
against top-10 opponents.
Wyoming 68, UNLV 66
LARAMIE, Wyo. Leonard
Washington and Francisco Cruz
scored 16 points apiece and
Wyoming throttled UNLVs
high-scoring offense.
Luke Martinez added 15
points all on 3-pointers
and Adam Waddell scored 14 for
Wyoming (18-5, 4-3 Mountain
West). The win snapped a four-
game losing streak against
UNLV (21-4, 5-2) and was
Wyomings first victory against
a Top 25 team since beating
New Mexico in 1996.
Florida 73, Vanderbilt 65
GAINESVILLE, Fla. Kenny
Boynton scored 18 points and
Bradley Beal added 16, lifting
Florida to its seventh consec-
utive victory.
Boynton and Beal came up
huge in the second half. Beal
scored 14 points after halftime.
Boynton drained a 3-pointer
with 1:10 remaining after the
Commodores made it a four-
point game and then sank two
free throws with 25.9 seconds
left to seal Floridas 19th consec-
utive victory at home.
The Gators (19-4, 7-1 South-
eastern Conference), returning
to the court about 36 hours
after their last win, made 11 of
24 shots from behind the arc.
Northern Iowa 65,
Creighton 62
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa
Anthony James buried a 3 at the
buzzer as Northern Iowa upset
No. 13 Creighton, snapping the
Bluejays 11-game winning
streak.
James scored 14 of his 16
points in the second half and
Seth Tuttle added 13 points for
the Panthers, who handed vis-
iting Creighton its first loss
since late December.
James buried a huge 3 from
the corner with 23 seconds left
to put Northern Iowa (16-9, 6-7
MVC) ahead 61-56. Creightons
Antoine Young hit a 3 with 4.6
seconds left to tie it at 62-all.
But James dribbled the length
of the court and pulled up for
the game-winner at the buzzer,
sending Panthers streaming
onto their home court.
Young scored 23 points and
Doug McDermott, who origi-
nally committed to Northern
Iowa, had 18 points and 12 re-
bounds for Creighton (21-3,
11-2).
Georgetown 75,
South Florida 45
WASHINGTON Henry
Sims scored 13 points and nine
rebounds, and Georgetown held
South Florida without a point
for nearly 11 minutes in the first
half.
Otto Porter added 12 points,

led 18-5 late in the first half and
spent much of the second half
with a 20-point cushion.
Augustus Gilchrist scored 15
points to lead the Bulls (13-10,
6-4), who shot 26 percent in the
first half and 31 percent for the
game. They also committed 17

points, Xavier Gibson added 10
points and Florida State earned
its seventh straight Atlantic
Coast Conference victory.

back. Virginias four losses this

high 11 rebounds.

points and 10th-ranked Murray
State remained the lone unde-
feated mens team in Division I,
beating Tennessee-Martin.
The Racers (23-0, 11-0 Ohio
Valley Conference) brought
plenty of fans to cheer the
schools longest winning streak.
Combined with a We Back Pat
night dedicated to alum Pat
Summitt helping raise money
for Alzheimers, a sold-out
crowd of 4,700 packed the Elam
Center with fans lining the
upper walkway.
Tennessee Martin (3-22, 0-12)
lost its 13th straight.

in the second half that shut
down the Cougars.

only one basket in nearly 9
minutes. During that span, the
Bruins had a 13-2 edge and took
a 58-51 lead with 4:49 left.

To those who watched Henry
Hynoski win state title after state
title at Southern Columbia, its
not shocking to see him playing
for another championship today
on the NFLs grandest stage.
Its how he got to Super Bowl
XLVI thats getting their atten-
tion.
They suggest Hynoski did it by
leaps and bounds.
Inparticular, that leaphe made
over Dallas Cowboys cornerback
Terence Newman during the reg-
ular season nearly floored his old
friends.
I actually texted him, I was
amazed, said Dan Latorre, the
star quarterback on the first two
Southernstatetitleteams Hynos-
ki played for, who remains close
to his old high school pal. That
was definitely impressive. I was
amazed how he leaped that cor-
nerback.
Ive never seen that before.
It was just one of many shock-
ers Hynoskis pulled from his
sleevetobecomethestartingfull-
back for the New York Giants
during his rookie season.
He transformed from a prolific
featured running back in high
school to a bruising blocking full-
back in the NFL. He went from
exciting draft expectations to
signing as a free agent, trying
hard to make the Giants roster
this summer.
And Hynoski, used primarily
to open holes for Giants running
backs Ahmad Bradshaw and
Brandon Jacobs through most of
the season, opened some eyes
withhis ability tocatchshort pas-
ses as his role expanded by the
end of the regular season.
At this point, theyre looking
for him more and more, as far as
gettingthe ball tohiminthe flat,
said Jim Roth, Hynoskis high
school coach at Southern Colum-
bia. I think theyve come to real-
ize hes probably a bit more ath-
letic than they anticipated.
Its tough for anyone from Hy-
noskis days at tiny, PIAAClass A
Southern Columbia to say they
knew hed make it all along.
You never project somebody
intothe NFL, Rothsaid, at least
not from a small school like
ours.
But the more they watchedHy-
noski, the more those around
him in high school believed hed
have a chance someday.
His confidence was a key fac-
tor, Latorre said. And his hard
work. And his toughness. A
down-to-earth, likeable guy. You
knew he was definitely a special
player.
He knows what it takes to put
on a Southern uniform.
Hynoski knew what it took to
put on any uniform.
After leading Southern Colum-
bia to four PIAA Class A cham-
pionships and compiling 7,165
rushing yards with 112 touch-
downs during his high school ca-
reer, Hynoski traded glory for
grunt work.
He went to Pitt, where the son
of Henry and Kathy Hynoski of
Elysburg became a bullish, block-
ing fullback. His carries and
catches out of the backfield went
way down from his high school
days, while the number of de-
fenders he stood up with one of
his blocks went way up.
I always wanted to make it to
the NFL, Hynoski said at the
start of the NFCplayoffs. I didnt
care howI hadtodoit. I hadtodo
it a little differently to get here.
That variation continued
through the way he entered the
NFL.
Projected as a low- to mid-
round NFL draft pick coming out
of Pitt, Hynoski pulled a hamstr-
ing at the NFL scouting combine
and was limited in his workouts
there. Everyone passed on himin
the draft, and Hynoski wound up
signing as a free agent with the
Giants.
I know he was down about
that, Roth said. The disap-
pointment of not getting drafted
seems like a real afterthought
now. From that disappointment
to now, its like a 360.
Talk about a huge turn-
around.
Maybe being overlooked drove
Hynoski to reach the NFL
heights no other Southern Co-
lumbia alum has reached.
Absolutely, Latorre said. If
youre undrafted, youve got to
prove yourself. When you come
under the radar, you want to
prove to not only yourself, but to
everyone, you can play at this lev-
el andwiththese type of players.
Dont underestimate Hynoski.
Hes beendelivering that mess-
age since high school, when Hy-
noski was greeted in the first
state playoff game of his senior
year against Old Forge in 2006
with a sign of disrespect that
blared, Henry Who?
Old Forge was being disre-
spectful the whole game, Hynos-
ki said, still annoyed by the trash
talking he heard that day. But
that was high school stuff. Here,
theres always some chirping go-
ing on. Nothing like high school.
Now these are professionals.
Hynoski handled that high
school harassment like a pro.
He went 52 yards for a touch-
down on the games first play,
starting a day where he ran the
ball nine times for 214 and three
touchdowns in Southerns 48-0
victory over the Blue Devils.
They were kind of trying to
put him down, they made a ban-
ner like Whos he? Roth said.
First play of the game, he went
for a touchdown. Thats the way
he was, thats the way he is.
If hes challenged, hes that
much more inspired.
That makes Hynoski a perfect
fit for a Giants team that strug-
gled through the regular season
and needed a victory over Dallas
aided by Hynoskis leap on a10-
yard catch-and-run just to make
the postseason.
I thought if there was a guy
who would make it, it would be
him, Roth said. Ive never
coached anyone who had the
same level of determination and
the way he approached the game.
The way he played in such a
relentless fashion, I was never
around a kid like that.
Because when it came to mak-
ing it in the NFL, Henry Hynoski
was never kidding around.
Its what I expected, Hynoski
said. The talent level, compared
to college, is through the roof.
These are the best players in the
world.
Now, hes one of them, on a
stage this time for the world to
see.
Im an Eagles fan, said La-
torre, whocurrentlyworks inPhi-
ladelphia. But when I found out
Henry was going to play for the
Giants, I took a liking to that
team, too. I talk with him every
week.
Its going to be a nice thing to
see him come Sunday.

INDIANAPOLIS Curtis Mar-
tinhas gone fromthe meanstreets
of Pittsburgh to the Pro Football
Hall of Fame.
The star running back with the
PatriotsandJetsfor11seasonswas
one of six players elected Saturday
to the shrine. Martin once disliked
the game, but used it to escape a
neighborhood where his grand-
mother was murdered.
WhenI get awardedsomething
liketheHall of Fame, itsalmostfor-
eigntome, saidMartin, the NFLs
No. 4 career rusher. This wasnt
something I planned on doing.
Football is something I did so I
didnt endupjailedor dead.
Martin and four linemen were
elected to the hall, along with one
senior committee choice. He is
joined by Chris Doleman, Cortez
Kennedy, Willie Roaf, Dermontti
Dawson, and senior selection Jack
Butler.
Jerome Bettis, Cris Carter and
Bill Parcells were among the final-
ists whodidnt make it.
Martinmadeit for his consisten-
cyanddurability, rushingfor14,101
and90 touchdowns. He rushedfor
at least 1,000 yards in each of his
first 10 seasons, the first three with
New England and the others with
the Jets. The 1995 Offensive Roo-
kieof theYear, MartinwontheNFL

as the Steelers center, that rare
snapper who also could block de-
fensive players one on one. He re-
placed a Hall of Famer, Mike Web-

most of his13seasons.
Butler also played for the Steel-

INDIANAPOLIS Less than
a year ago, Tom Brady, Logan
Mankins, Osi Umenyiora and
seven other players filed an anti-
trust suit against the NFL, a key
moment in a convoluted and
contentious labor dispute be-
tween the union and league that
threatened to cut short or
even wipe out the 2011 sea-
son.
On Sunday, Brady and Man-
kins of the New England Patri-
ots and Umenyiora of the New
York Giants will play in a Super
Bowl that might very well draw
more viewers than any TVshow
in history.
What lockout? What reces-
sion?
Nothing, it seems, can get in
the way of the NFL, whose rat-
ings and revenues climb and
climb, no matter what. Indeed,
some say boththose issues man-
aged to push even more atten-
tion and money the leagues
way.
Put simply, the NFL has the
Midas Touch.
The uncertainty of the lock-
out Will it be settled? When
will the deal come? Will it hap-
pen? createda sense of antic-
ipationfor the newseason. It fed
into the publics awareness of
the NFL. Even the concussion
stories helped, because the pub-
lic has become aware of the is-
sue and is watching games to
see how the rules are enforced,
to see how the game changes,
said Neal Pilson, a former presi-
dent of CBS Sports who now
runs a media consulting firm.
NFL games accounted for 23
of the 25 most-watched tele-
casts last fall, and a total of 37
games drew at least 20 million
viewers each.
Sports is, to a certain extent,
recession-proof. You can see a
sports event 10 different ways:
on television, on your laptop, on
your iPad, on your mobile
phone, in bars and restaurants,
in airports. Theres no other en-
tertainment property that is so
ubiquitous, Pilson said. When
the economy went south, guess
what? Americans stayed home,
made a single investment in hi-
definition television and
watched sports. And what they
watch more than anything is the
NFL.
The last two Super Bowls
were the two most-viewed pro-
grams in U.S. television history.
NBC Sports Group Chairman
Mark Lazarus is eager to see
howmany people tune in for his
networks broadcast of Sundays
championship game between
the Patriots and Giants. Its a re-
match of the 2008 Super Bowl,
whenEli ManningledNewYork
to an upset that ruined NewEn-
glands bid for a perfect season.
NBC, CBS and Fox recently
renewed their NFL contracts
through the 2022 season, with
annual bumps in rights fees that
will bring the total revenue gen-
erated by those deals fromnear-
ly $2 billion per year to more
than $3 billion. In September,
ESPN kept Monday Night
Football through the 2021 sea-
son, increasing its annual pay-
ments from $1.1 billion to $1.9
billion.
From September to January,
every Sunday, thats when foot-
ball comes. Thats a huge advan-
tage, said David Schwab, who
specializes in matching brands
with celebrities as managing di-
rector at OctagonFirst Call. Ev-
ery Sunday at 1oclock, 4 oclock
and 8 oclock have become what
NBC Thursday nights used to
be: Must See TV.
Brady et al vs. National Foot-
ball League et al is a distant
memory. All anyone cares about
at the moment is Brady et al vs.
Manning et al.
If we missed any games, it
could have taken years, maybe a
decade, to get the fans respect
back. People are hurting today,
Patriots owner Robert Kraft
said. They want good stories.
Leave it to the NFL to deliver.

as popular as ever

The Vince Lombardi Trophy is
seen before a news conference
for Super Bowl XLVI on Friday
in Indianapolis.
INDIANAPOLIS Lawrence Tynes
hated football. Too much hitting, too
much pain.
The native of Scotland preferred soc-
cer when he was growing up in Florida,
which was the latest stop for his military
family. A lot of his friends spent their
time tugging on helmets and lacing up
shoulder pads, but he didnt want any-
thing to do with it.
Given that background, its quite sur-
prising that hes a major figure in foot-
balls biggest game.
The New York Giants kicker will play
in his second Super Bowl on Sunday
against the New England Patriots, the
team he helped to beat in the title game
four years ago. Its a big stage for some-
one who wanted nothing to do with the
game as a teenager.
Its pretty weird how it worked out,
Tynes said.
Theres no disputing that he really
stumbled onto his Super path.
The 33-year-old kicker was born in
Greenock, Scotland, and moved to Flor-
ida when he was 11, doing his best to
blend in at Milton High School.
Football? Uh-uh. Had to draw the line
somewhere.
I didnt like this game that I am play-
ing on Sunday because it was tackling
and physical, he said.
During his junior year, his physical
education teacher and the football
teams defensive coordinator asked
himto see howfar and straight he could
kick a football. The team needed a kick-
er; Tynes was a good soccer player.
I said, Certainly, Tynes recalled.
So I went out to the baseball field, he
throws his keys down in front of where I
was going to kick and he said, Kick the
ball andpickmykeys up, just tokeepmy
head down.
He kicked it long and straight. His
friends urged him join the team. He
made a life-changing decision.
I am glad I did, because the only rea-
son I did it was to hang out with my bud-
dies in practice, he said.
Tynes became part of Giants lore in
his first season with the team, kicking a
47-yardfieldgoal inovertime of the 2007
NFC championship game that got New
York into the Super Bowl.
Tynes got them back to the Super
Bowl this season with another decisive
kick, making a 31-yarder in overtime at
San Francisco.
He didnt get a chance for a game-win-
ning kick in his first Super Bowl. Given
howclosely the Giants andPatriots have
played each other, theres a chance it
could happen on Sunday.
The worst part? What happens if he
gets the chance and misses. Its some-
thing thats never completely out of
mind for a kicker.
I get nervous, Tynes said. I amnot a
robot, but I certainly know how to deal
with it. Thats what kind of separates
guys. Its if you can deal with the pres-
sure and the nerves.

INDIANAPOLISRarely is
Bill Belichick outcoached. Tom
Brady almost never gets out-
played.
The brilliant coachonthe
sideline andhis cerebral leader
onthe fieldwinners of three
Super Bowls together are still
a notchabove their NFLcham-
pionship game opponent. Thats
why come Sunday the New
EnglandPatriots will beat the
NewYork Giants, a title to be
earnedwithbrains as muchas
brawn.
Andas a result of the dis-
cipline andpreparationthat
Belichick has stressedinhis12
years as coachof this team.
Nobody works harder thanhe
does, Brady said. I dont think
theres ever beena time that Ive
shownup at the stadiumand
hes not there. He sees every-
thing. He evaluates everything.
He watches every bit of filmthat
he canget.
Over the course of the sea-
son, our teams have always
seemedto improve.
Its beennearly three months
since the Patriots lost 24-20
to the Giants, who scoreda
touchdownwith15 seconds left.
Since then, Brady has guidedhis
teamto10 straight wins.
It starts withhis heart. The
way he reads defenses, the way
he directs andtakes protec-
tions, guardLoganMankins
said. I think everyone gets
enamoredwiththe talent side
sometimes, but Tommight not
be one of the fastest guys, but
hes definitely one of the smart-
est guys andhe has a strong arm.
He canmake all the throws.
He reads defenses so fast. It
makes hima special player.
The ability of the two-time
Super Bowl MVPto instantly
analyze what a defense is likely
to do is a huge asset against the
Giants. They sometimes use
four defensive ends at a time and
all are aggressive pass rushers.
But the Patriots have a veteran
group of offensive linemenwho
canquickly figure out who to
block. Brady was sackedan
average of only twice a game in
the regular season. Intwo play-
off games, hes beensackedonce.
EvenguardBrianWaters, inhis
first seasonwithNewEngland
after11inKansas City, has
blendedinwell.
I think he does a goodjob of
studying the opponent that he
lines up against, NewYork
defensive coordinator Perry
Fewell said. He has a planinhis
headabout howhes going to
block the opponent andhe sticks
to his plan.
Give Brady time andhe can
pick apart the Giants mediocre
secondary andpile up points at
the Patriots regular-seasonrate.
They ledthe AFCwith32.1
points per game andare averag-
ing 34 inthe playoffs. That of-
fense, whichhas runhalf its
plays this postseasonwithout
huddling, keeps defenses from
getting a breather andhaving
the right players onthe fieldfor a
particular situation.
The Giants couldnt evenget
muchof a break withRob Gron-
kowskis highleft ankle sprain.
The All-Pro tight endis mak-
ing daily progress andBrady
almost certainly will have his
most important receiver back,
evenif hes not at full strength.
Brady definitely will have NFL
receptions leader Wes Welker
andthe other dangerous tight
end, versatile AaronHernandez,
who lines up all over the place
as a split or slot receiver, a run-
ning back andinthe traditional
tight ends spot close to the
linemen. Hes sure to keep the
Giants defense guessing.
The Patriots defense?
Its beenburnedby big plays
all season, especially the second-
ary. Will coachTomCoughlin
andquarterback Eli Manning
test it early to see if it wilts inthe
glare of footballs brightest spot-
light?
The Patriots allowedthe
secondmost yards inthe NFL
during the regular season, but
only the15thmost points and
theyve beenmuchimprovedin
the playoffs. Andthe Giants had
the leagues least productive
running game.
The Patriots defense is also as
healthy as its beenall seasonso
it may not have to use wide
receiver JulianEdelmaninthe
secondary as muchas it didin
the AFCchampionship game
against the Baltimore Ravens.
I dont really think we focus
onrankings or any of that,
Patriots safeties coachMatt
Patricia said. All we are worried
about is going out andtrying to
do the best that we can.
Turnovers are one of the most
important factors inthe out-
come of a game andthe Patriots
ledthe AFCwitha plus-17 differ-
ential, comparedto plus-7 for
the Giants. Running back Ben-
Jarvus Green-Ellis has handled
the ball 577 times inhis four
NFLseasons, all withNewEn-
gland, andnever has fumbled.
Early inthe season, they
wouldnt runthe ball as consis-
tent, Giants safety Kenny Phil-
lips said, but throughout the
playoffs they are doing a lot
better.
Witha balancedoffense, the
Patriots cancool the aggression
of the Giants pass rush. Devote
too many players to charging
Brady, andGreen-Ellis canrun
free for big gains.
Finally, the Patriots, as much
as they deny it, shouldgain
motivationfromtheir17-14 loss
to the Giants inthe Super Bowl
four years ago ona last-minute
touchdown.
Unfortunately, we knowwhat
its like to not come out ontop,
tackle Matt Light said. You
want to make sure youdont put
yourself inthat position.
They wont, not withBelich-
ick andBrady leading the way.
Final score: Patriots, 31, Gi-
ants 24.
And the new champion will be ...
Pats win with Brady, Belichick
By HOWARD ULMAN
AP Sports Writer

QB Tom Brady and coach Bill
Bellichick give the New En-
gland Patriots all they need to
win todays game.
INDIANAPOLIS In this
new NFL age of throw first and
throw again, its easy to forget to
first rule of football: Defense
wins championships.
Sorry Eli. Sorry Tom. Theres
no doubt youre both among the
leagues elite quarterbacks.
The Super Bowl, however, is
going to be decided by defense,
and the Giants are better than
the Patriots right now. The
proof is in the performance.
Take a look at the five-game
winning streak thats carried the
Giants (12-7) from a .500 team
to a second Super Bowl in four
years. The defense has given up
only 67 points during the streak,
not allowed more than 251 yards
passing in any game, recorded
20 sacks and forced 11 turn-
overs.
And thats against some very
good offenses, including the
high-powered one in Green Bay.
To say the defense is confi-
dent heading into the Super
Bowl would be an understate-
ment.
I feel like were going to play
our best game, so whoever is
facing us better play theirs,
defensive captain Justin Tuck.
There is no secret to the Gi-
ants game plan: Stop the run,
put the Patriots in passing sit-
uations and knock Tom Brady
on his you-know-what.
Then do it again.
Its the game plan the Giants
used four years ago in Phoenix
in embarrassing the Patriots
offensive line, and the same one
they used with a little less effec-
tiveness in Foxborough, Mass.,
early in November during a
24-20 win.
In that more recent game, the
Giants sacked Brady twice and
had two interceptions. One sack
led to a fumble recovery that set
up a score.
Get to Brady and good things
happen.
We did some things that
disrupted his timing, defensive
coordinator Perry Fewell said.
We caused him to stay jittery in
the pocket. Hopefully we can do
that again.
Brady and the Patriots will be
facing an even better defense in
the rematch. The Giants front
four is healthy and peaking.
Tuck has overcome the shoul-
der and groin injuries that both-
ered him in November. Osi
Umenyiora is as healthy as hes
been all season, and the defense
has suddenly found itself after
needing a rescue party for the
first 14 games.
Not only is the front four
playing well, the linebackers are
stopping the run and the sec-
ondary is covering so well that
quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers,
Matt Ryan and Alex Smith rare-
ly were able to hit their primary
targets in the playoffs.
To be honest, I think our
confidence is very high, said
second-year defensive end Jason
Pierre-Paul, who led the Giants
with 16
1
2 sacks in the regular
season. We know what we have
to do and whats at stake.
If Brady meets the same fate
as those other recent quarter-
backs and hes ducking the pass
rush, the Patriots are going to
have big problems.
Thats where our energy
comes from, Fewell said of his
front four. Thats where our
confidence comes from. Thats
where our swagger comes from,
because those guys unlike
most teams you are associated
with they set the tone for us.
They are the catalyst for what
we do and how we do it.
Umenyiora has no doubt the
Giants will get to Brady and put
their imprint on the game.
Theyre going to definitely
do some things to keep us off of
him, max protections, short
throws, quick throws, but they
can only do that for so long,
Umenyiora said. Whenever we
have opportunities where he
does hold the ball, were going
to have to get to the quarter-
back.
The Giants also have gotten a
little lucky heading into this
one. Patriots All-Pro tight end
Rob Gronkowski suffered a high
sprain to his left ankle in the
AFC title game against Balti-
more. It probably will reduce his
effectiveness.
Offensively, Eli Manning has
had a career year, and the Gi-
ants can match the Patriots
point for point. With New Yorks
running game struggling much
of the season, the key will be
keeping Manning upright. San
Francisco sacked him six times
and hit him 20 times overall in
the NFC title game.
However, the Patriots D isnt
in the same category as 49ers.
The Patriots allowed the sec-
ond-most yards in the NFL
during the regular season, and
their secondary repeatedly got
burned for big plays.
Vince Wilfolk will stuff the
middle but Manning should
have a field day against a shaky
New England secondary.
Theres no way Devin McCour-
ty, Kyle Arrington and nickel
back-receiver Julian Edelman
stop Hakeem Nicks, Victor Cruz
and Mario Manningham and
tight end Jake Ballard.
Championships often are
decided by a big play, and Cruz
and Nicks have been turning
little plays into touchdowns all
season. There likely will be
chances for more of those.
With both offenses so formid-
able, former Buffalo Bills coach
Marv Levy felt the game was
going to be decided by a special
teams play, a blocked punt or
field goal, or some other play.
Both teams are here because
of special teams plays, Levy
said. When you get two very
closely matched teams, which I
think they are, look for the kick-
ing game to determine the out-
come.
Not likely. Not with the Gi-
ants defense.
Final score: Giants 31, Patri-
ots 17.

INDIANAPOLIS Balti-
more Ravens center Matt Birk
is the Walter Payton Man of the
Year.
The award honors a player
for his off-the-field work as well
as for his playing excellence.
Birk, a 14-year NFL veteran,
has made 96 consecutive starts
and is one of the Ravens team
leaders. He also supports youth
literacy with a program called
Ready, Set, Read, through his
HIKE Foundation.
Birk also has agreed to do-
nate his brain and spinal cord
tissue to the Boston Universi-
tys Center for Traumatic En-
cephalopathy, which researches
the effects of repetitive head
trauma.
The award will be presented
Sunday by NFL Commissioner
Roger Goodell, Paytons two
children Jarrett and Brittney
before the Giants and Patri-
ots play in the Super Bowl.
The other finalists were San
Diego quarterback Philip Rivers
and Chicago cornerback Char-
les Tillman.
This award is not about the
recipient, Birk said, but rath-
er a celebration of the decades-
long tradition of NFL players
using their unique platform to
touch lives and make a positive
and lasting impact in the com-
munities in which they work
and live.
NFL Charities makes a
$1,000 donation to the charity
chosen by each teams winner, a
$5,000 donation to the three
finalists favorite charity and
$20,000 donation to the win-
ners choice.
A DIFFERENT SUPER
BOWL BOND: When Patriots
offensive lineman Marcus Can-
non met Giants linebacker
Mark Herzlich at the NFLs
rookie symposium last year,
they had a lot to talk about.
Theres a bond that goes
much deeper than their rookie
status.
Cannon was diagnosed with
non-Hodgkins lymphoma less
than a week before the NFL
draft. The fifth-round pick end-
ed up getting eight chemother-
apy treatments stretched over
24 draining weeks that cured
the disease.
Herzlich became one of his
resources and supporters.
I called him a couple of
times and asked him ques-
tions, Cannon said. Theres a
lot of (cancer) stories out there.
His is one I can most relate to.
We just talked a lot.
Herzlich overcame a rare
form of bone cancer in his left
leg while at Boston College and
returned to football. Although
their cases were much different,
they could relate to the chal-
lenges of going through chemo-
therapy and trying to hold onto
hope.
It wasnt fun, Cannon said.
Sitting there for six hours a
day on the bed wasnt fun at all.
I just had to have faith.
Cannon opened the season
on a medical list. He had his
last chemotherapy treatment in
September and began feeling
better a few weeks later. He
practiced with the Giants for
the first time in late October.
He has played in the last nine
games.
Like Herzlich, he appreciates
everything a little more.
Theres a lot of things that
change, Cannon said. You
understand life is precious.

INDIANAPOLIS Oops. Talk
about a Super Mistake.
Some 24 hours before the
Super Bowl, this showed up on
the web: The Giants are
Super Bowl CHAMPIONS,
complete with an image of the
Lombardi Trophy and a link to
order championship gear. The
problem: Kickoff was more
than 24 hours away.
And quicker than you can
say Eli, it was gone.
The NFL said Saturday night
that the web page was set up
for possible use after Sundays
game between the Giants and
Patriots, but was
inadvertently available for a
brief period of time.
INDIANAPOLIS The best
quarterbacks bring fans out of
their seats. Aaron Rodgers and
Peyton Manning did exactly that
Saturday night when the NFL
Most Valuable Player accepted
the trophy from the only four-
time winner of the award.
The Green Bay quarterback
won the 2011 Associated Press
award in a landslide. Manning,
the hometown hero who didnt
play a down this season because
of neck surgery, handed it to
him.
Manning was greeted with a
standing ovation when he came
on stage at the Murat Theatre
during NFL Honors, a prime-
time special on NBC. Moments
later, the crowd was back on its
feet for Rodgers.
It means a lot to be recog-
nized as a consistent player and
contributing on my team, Rodg-
ers said. I think its an award
that relies on a player having the
support of his teammates, obvi-
ously, guys blocking, guys run-
ning, guys catching, guys mak-
ing plays. But Im very honored
to receive the award.
Speaking to Manning, who
didnt miss a game for 13 seasons
before 2011, Rodgers added:
Were all really excited to see
you back on the field next year.
Rodgers earned 48 votes to
two for New Orleans quarter-
back Drew Brees in balloting by
a nationwide panel of 50 media
members who regularly cover
the NFL. The Packers star is the
first Green Bay player honored
since Brett Favre concluded a
run of three straight seasons as
MVP in 1997.
Brees won Offensive Player of
the Year for the second time.
Other winners included:
Baltimore defensive end/li-
nebacker Terrell Suggs, Defen-
sive Player of the Year.
San Franciscos rookie coach
JimHarbaugh, Coach of the Year.
Detroit quarterback Mat-
thew Stafford, Comeback Player
of the Year.
The top two picks in last
Aprils draft took the rookie
awards: Carolina QB Cam New-
ton and Denver linebacker Von
Miller.
Rodgers led the NFL in pass-
ing with a 122.5 rating built on
45 touchdown passes, six inter-
ceptions and a 68.3 completion
percentage as the Packers went
15-1 and won the NFC North.
The Packers were beaten by the
New York Giants at Lambeau
Field in the divisional round.
People really count on me to
be consistent each week, to play
well. Knowing that my perform-
ance, the fact that I touch the ball
every play, I have a direct impact
on the game, the way I play,
Rodgers said. And if Im playing
consistent and doing things I
know Im supposed to do, weve
been able to have some success
because of it.
He joined former Packers Bart
Starr, Jim Taylor and Paul Horn-
ung as MVPs.

the playoff race.
Early in the year, a lot of
individual stuff showed up,
Tuck said.
The real individual star of
this Giants season was Man-
ning, who put up the best
season of his career while
carrying the Giants into the
playoffs. But hes the guy with
the ball in his hands all the
time.
Their true fate of this season
was in the hands of the rest of
the Giants.
Right at the end, they decid-
ed to adopt the type of attitude
displayed by their rookie full-
back Henry Hynoski, a glam-
our running back at Southern
Columbia High School who has
become such a hammer as a
blocker people are nicknaming
him Hynocerous.
I dont care about stats,
Hynoski said at the start of this
Giants playoff run. I dont care
about numbers. I just want to
do whatever I can to help this
team win.
Suddenly, everyone else on
the field for the Giants became
just as unselfish.
Its the mentality you have
to play with, Giants defensive
tackle Chris Canty said.
The showmanship stopped,
unless you count Victor Cruzs
salsa dances, and the success
began for the Giants again.
They won their last two
games of the regular season to
win the division, and havent
stopped winning in the postsea-
son.
Were a team, Giants defen-
sive end Osi Umenyura said.
It is why the Giants, as un-
spectacular as they may appear
on paper without much star
quality and with a 9-7 regular
season, have a chance to upset
the great Tom Brady and his
New England Patriots today.
Right now, we have a high
level of belief in each other,
Tuck said. As long as we have
each others backs, well be fine.
If you believe, you can
achieve.
Its all about teamwork.
Those who develop such
strong solidarity can wind up
in the Super Bowl. Those who
dont just get bowled over.

Eli, who will surpass his brother for
NFLtitles witha victory Sunday at Lu-
cas Oil Stadiumyes, Peytons Place
claims his siblings issues are irrele-
vant to this game, in which New York
(12-7) is a 3-point underdog.
Im proud of Peyton. Ive talked to
him this week. None of that comes
up, Eli said. When I talk to Peyton,
he does a great jobof tryingtokeepme
relaxed. (We) talk a little football and
talk about New England some. Hes
supported me this week. I know hes
just working hardtrying to get healthy
and Imgoing to support himon that.
While Eli wouldowntwochampion-
ships with a victory, to one for Peyton,
Brady could tie his childhood quarter-
backing hero, Joe Montana, and Terry
Bradshawwithfour. CoachBill Belich-
ick would equal Chuck Noll with the
same number.
To get it, the Patriots (15-3) must
protect their crown jewel. Four years
ago, Brady was banged around so
much by New York that it turned the
Super Bowl in the Giants favor.
Yes, they needed David Tyrees mir-
acle pin-the-ball-against-the-helmet
catch, then Plaxico Burress touch-
down reception to shatter New En-
glands perfect season. But that victo-
ry was built on the relentless pressure
applied to Brady.
The formula hasnt changed.
We feel that we certainly have a ve-
ry strong group of men in the front,
Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. Its
just the way we play and prefer to play.
Its a pressure group, and we have
played better in the back end as well,
probably as a result of the ball having
tocomeout faster thanit has at certain
times during the year.
Brady certainly remembers the
pain, physically and emotionally, from
thebeatinghetookonthefieldandthe
scoreboard.
Any time you lose, its a tough
thing, Brady said. Weve lost one Su-
per Bowl. I remember waking up in
Arizona the next morning after an
hour of sleep thinking, That was a
nightmare, that didnt happen. After
time, you learn to move on and get
over it.
The Giants got all over Brady again
during their regular season 24-20 win
at Foxborough, the last time the Patri-
ots lost. That victory preceded a four-
game slide, and New York eventually
slippedto 7-7 before turning it around.
Adding to the juicy potential of a
down-to-the-wire reprise of 2008, both
teams barely made it to Indy. The Pa-
triots needed backup cornerback Ster-
ling Moore stripping the ball fromBal-
timore receiver Lee Evans in the end
zone inthe final seconds, thenfor Billy
Cundiff to miss a 32-yard field goal
that would have forced overtime.
The Giants went into overtime in
SanFrancisco, usingtwobotchedpunt
returns by the 49ers to advance.
We feel very fortunate to be here,
andImpretty sure they do, too, Patri-
ots Pro Bowl nose tackle Vince Wil-
fork. But we also knowwe deserve to
be here, and they know they deserve
it. We are two very good and very con-
fident teams.
Teams owned by two of the key fig-
ures in solving the 4
1
2-month lockout
of the players last year. NewEnglands
Robert Kraft shuttled back and forth
from the meetings to his dying wifes
bedside late in the negotiating proc-
ess. Myra Kraft passed away days be-
fore the lockout was resolved.
His players wore a patch with her
initials MHK on the left side of their
jerseys this season.
The fact that she was so dear to me
and all of our players are wearing her
initials above their heart is an endear-
ingthing, Kraft said. What she repre-
sented is important and I hope that
special sense of spirit comes through.
Giants owner John Mara played an
equally important role in the labor ne-
gotiations, and when both teams reac-
hed the Super Bowl, Kraft mentioned
a certain karma about the matchup.
Im not necessarily happy to be
playing Bill Belichick and Tom Brady,
Ill tell you that, Mara joked. But
yeah, Im very happy for Bob because
he put his heart andsoul into those ne-
gotiations during a very difficult time
for him and his family, so I think the
success theyve had is well-deserved.
When they finally kick off Sunday,
the two biggest stars will be Brady and
Manning yes, Eli. Not halftime per-
former Madonna, but the quarter-
backs on whose arms, wits and lead-
ership this Super Bowl will turn.
They are both leaders on the field,
Wilfork said. I think that position you
have tobe smart, youhave tobe intelli-
gent. I think you have to understand
whats going on around you. I think
both those guys have that.
OnSunday, well seewhichoneadds
to his championship legacy with an-
other Super Bowl ring.

P R E D I C T I O N S
Indianapolis was once called Naptown
and India-No-Place for a reason.
Native son Kurt Vonnegut Jr. referred
to it in 1970 as the 500-mile speedway
race, and then 364 days of miniature
golf. People used to roamcity streets on
Sundays, picking off pigeons with shot-
guns as part of Operation Pigeon-Rid.
For decades, there was no reason to stay
downtown after dark.
This week, as 150,000 visitors de-
scended on a new, vibrant district before
Super Bowl Sunday, even cynics agreed
that the city had successfully shed its im-
age as a bastion of boredom in what was
once called flyover country. Hotels,
restaurants, theaters and a 3-mile canal
walk flank Lucas Oil Stadium and Super
Bowl Village. Thousands of residents
have moved into downtown apartments
and condo complexes are rapidly rising.
And visitors have noticed.
Incredulity is in the air. Naptown is
aliveandthriving. TheurbanSuper Bowl
is a huge success, where everything is in
walking distance, and everyone feels the
electricity, wrote DanBickley of the Ari-
zona Republic.
The transformationwas decades inthe
making, beginning long before city lead-
ers ever dreamedof biddingfor theSuper
Bowl. In the1970s, then-Mayor Bill Hud-
nut decided that sports was the ticket to
revitalizing the city and putting it on the
national map.
It seemed to be a good fit. Indianapolis
was the capital of a sports-crazed state
that had Notre Dame winning national
football championships in the north, In-
diana University winning national bas-
ketball championships in the south, the
Indianapolis 500inthe middle anda high
school basketball tournament that creat-
ed Hoosier Hysteria.
In1982, the city beganconstructionon
a $77.5 million stadium without any
guarantee it would ever house an NFL
team.
The city lured the Colts from Balti-
more in 1984, a year after making a pre-
sentationto NFLowners to gainsome in-
terest in an expansion team.
The Hoosier Dome opened in July
1984 to a crowd of 67,596 for an Olympic
team exhibition. The Colts began play-
ing in the same stadium in August.
Indy wasnt ready to stop.
The city had hosted the National
Sports Festival in1982 andbuilt a natato-
rium that would later host NCAA mens
and womens swimming championships
and U.S. Olympic trials. Atrack and field
stadiumanda velodrome were built. The
NCAAs Final Four was playedinIndiana-
polis in 1980. Five mens and one wom-
ens final four have been held there since.
The NCAA, the National Federation of
State High School Associations and the
governing bodies of seven sports in-
cluding track and field and gymnastics
are all based in Indianapolis.
Naptown

with fans,

Indianapolis has been transformed
into a big-time sports mecca.

S P O R T S
WILKES-BARRE The
message was simple enough.
No need to spruce this one
up.
Look, youre going to play
with a little pressure on you
tonight its the first time
Im putting this on you, Jer-
ry Rickrode told his squad
minutes before Saturdays
game against Manhattanville.
You have to win the
game.
It was far from a master-
piece, but the Colonels re-
sponded to their coachs chal-
lenge, holding off the Valiants
64-58 on Saturday at the
Marts Center.
The victory was the 800th
in program history for Wilkes
(14-6, 7-3) and snapped a
three-game losing streak.
Instead of falling back to the
edge of the playoff picture,
the Colonels moved back into
a first-place tie in the Free-
dom Conference, joining
Eastern and streaking Miser-
icordia.
Wilkes shot just 31.6 per-
cent from the floor but made
up for it by getting to the foul
line 29 times, converting 21.
Senior center Kendall Hinze
scored 10 of his game-high 18
points from the stripe.
Paul Huch added a double-
double, with 14 points and 12
rebounds, and chipped in four
blocks and two assists. Tyler
Breznitsky scored 11 points
off the bench.
You know, we needed
this, Rickrode said. We
needed this. I felt like the
last two days of practice, I
said to the guys, Hey, that
was a lot of fun. On Thurs-
day at practice, that was a lot
of fun. Everybody was
healthy and running around
and it was similar (Friday).
It was Thursday that Rick-
rode decided to pick his spot
and put the onus of a must-
win game on his team.
We dropped three in a row
and we had this home game,
Rickrode said of his timing to
deliver the message. You
cant rely on everybody else
knocking everybody else off.
You had that earlier. Now
play with a little bit of pres-
sure, because for the past
week-and-a-half we were play-
ing without a lot of pressure.
And they responded good
defensively and clamping
down on the boards. If we do
that, were good enough of-
fensively the shots are go-
ing to start to fall.
They werent falling early
on.
A choppy start saw the
score hang at 6-2 in favor of
Wilkes for several posses-
sions. The teams combined
to shoot 3-for-23 in the open-
ing eight minutes.
Things picked up as the
first half wound down as the
Colonels countered a 13-0
Manhattanville run with a
12-0 streak of their own. That
helped Wilkes take a 27-23
lead into the break despite
going 8-of-34 from the field.
Rickrode credited his
teams defense and rebound-
ing for offsetting what he
called a pitiful first-half on
offense.
But the Colonels kept their
composure down the stretch.
After the Valiants (10-11, 4-6)
pulled within 53-52 with four
minutes to play, Wilkes out-
scored them 11-6 the rest of
the way, hitting 7-of-8 free
throws to put the game away.
They shook their head
yeah and they knew, Rick-
rode said. This was one they
had to have.

Wilkes responds
to an ultimatum
By DEREK LEVARSE
dlevarse@timesleader.com
YATESVILLE History was
made during the finals of the
District 2 Duals Tournament
Saturday night at Pittston Area.
Unfortunately for a pair of
Wyoming Valley Conference
teams, the unprecedented result
wasnt in their favor.
Minutes after Coughlin lost a
46-15 decision to Delaware Val-
ley in the Class 3A champion-
ship dual, Lake-Lehman drop-
ped its Class 2A title dual to
Western Wayne, 35-34.
The outcome was decided on
Criteria H the greater number
of first points scored in individu-
al bouts, which the Wildcats led
14-12.
It was the first time in the 16-
year history of the District 2
Duals event that a champion-
ship was decided on criteria.
Two WVC teams losing out
on advancing to the PIAA
Championships is just the third
time in tournament history that
has happened and the first time
it has occurred since 2006. West-
ern Wayne and Delaware Valley
move on to the state tourna-
ment, which begins Thursday in
Hershey.
Its tough losing a 34-34 tie,
but Im proud of all the kids,
Lehman coach Tom Williams
said. My hats off to Western
Wayne. Theyre a great team
and to lose to them, theres no
shame in that.
The score showed just how
evenly-paired the Black Knights
and Wildcats were in the dual as
the teams were even in the first
five criteria:
Least number of points de-
ducted for flagrant or unsports-
manlike conduct
Greater number of matches
won
Greater number of points
for falls, defaults, forfeits or dis-
qualifications
for technical falls
for major decisions
In the grand scheme of things,
Western Waynes Morgan Fuller
won the district title for his
team by defeating Josh Sayre
5-2 in the last match of the night
at 132-pounds as the Black
Knights held a 34-31 lead going
into the last match.
Lehman had to overcome a 31-
12 deficit and did so by winning
four straight matches with five
remaining to open a 34-31 lead.
Wins came from John Tomasura
via major decision at 106 and
falls by Jimmy Stuart (113), Zeb
McMillan (120) and Austin Har-
ry (126).
Still, the Black Knights had a
stellar team season claiming its
first division championship in 11
years and now will prepare for
the individual part of the sea-
son, which begins in three
weeks.
Im thinking three weeks
down the road and we can still
win a district title, Williams
added. We had some goals in
mind and we wanted to be tak-
ing a trip to Hershey, but for two
points in criteria
The Crusaders didnt fare as
well as their WVCcolleague, but
they did jump out to a 15-0 lead
on Delaware Valley, the 12th-
ranked team in the state accord-
ing to Premier PA Rankings.
The 3A title dual started at
285 with Brad Emerick improv-
ing to 31-0 this season with a pin
in 56 seconds. Bobby Hawkins
(106) followed with a 9-8 deci-
sion and Billy Poray extended
the lead with a fall in 1:46 at 113.
But the Warriors were too
much and showed why they are
so highly ranked by winning the
rest of the 11 bouts.
Coughlin was the only team
to score in double figures
against Delaware Valley in the
tournament and allowed the
least amount of points of its
three opponents.
The kids wrestled well as
much as expected against these
guys, Coughlin coach Steve
Stahl said. We knew coming in
they were a good team. We
came out and wrestled well and
there were a few matches that
couldve gone either way. But
thats why theyre here and were
there. I hope they make some
noise down there in Hershey.

Tom Grace - Voice of the Penguins
WOW!!That is the word
I say when something great happens to the Penguins on
the ice; and it was my exact reaction when Dr. McGraw
performed his magic on my eyes. My job as Voice of the
Penguins requires me to see the action (and a tiny puck)
fromvery highupinthepress
box. Thanks to my fantastic
results, I now call the action
with better-than 20-20
vision, and I dont ever need
to deal with the hassles of
glasses or contacts. Thanks
for everything Dr. McGraw.
It is truly amazing how
strong my vision is because
of you!

WILKES-BARRE TWP.
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguin
defenseman Joey Mormina had
no idea how big his goal in the
first period of Saturdays match-
up against the Albany Devils
would become.
Mormina scored after inter-
cepting an Albany pass in the
neutral zone and skating in to rip
a shot from the half-wall to put
the Penguins up 3-0.
I saw (Cody) Chupp going to
the net, tried to put it off the pads
and I dont really know where it
went in, he said. It was a simple
play.
A simple play that produced a
huge result.
Morminas goal would prove to
be the game-winner in the Pen-
guins 5-2win. Witha recordof 28-
13-2-4, the Penguins are now five
points aheadof Hershey andNor-
folkfor first placeintheEast Divi-
sion and tied with St. Johns for
the conference lead.
Just like Morminas play to
score the game-winner, the Pen-
guins are taking a simple ap-
proach at their spot in the stand-
ings.
Its nice where were at, but
theres no comfort or satisfaction
in it, Penguins coach John
Hynes said.
Why?
Because things can change at a
moments notice.
Its a crazy game, and a couple
of games from now we can be in
fifthinthe conference, Mormina
said. Norfolk and Hershey arent
going anywhere. Its not like
theyre going to fold up.
And neither are the Penguins,
especially withthe way they built
a 3-0 lead in the first period.
It took a while for the Penguins
to get going, and they didnt gen-
erate a shot until eight minutes
in. But that first shot fromAlex
Grant on the point, deflected off
an Albany player in front and
gave the Penguins a 1-0 lead.
Brian Gibbons followed min-
utes later with a deflection goal
during a power play to put the
Penguins up by two.
The goal was Gibbons first
since Dec. 3, 2011 a span of 20
games.
Morminas goal made it 3-0
and, after a slowstart to the peri-
od, the Penguins had built a legit-
imate lead that got the home
crowd roaring.
It took us a while to get go-
ing, Mormina said. But we
scored on our first shot and that
kind of sparked the building.
Just when it seemed like the
Penguins were clicking on all cyl-
inders, things misfired in the sec-
ond when Albany scored twice to
cut the lead to 3-2.
Albany kept charging in the
third period, outshooting the
Penguins 9-7, but for the second
straight night Brad Thiessen
steppedupinthenet andstopped
everything he faced.
It hasnt been like that all
year, Thiessen said of his hot
play in the third period. Its nice
to finally have something like
that go your way.
BryanLergput the Devils away
when he poked in a loose puck
with 1:25 left, and then iced the
game with an empty net goal 20
seconds later.

Members of the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins celebrate after scoring the first of three goals in

BUL L E T I N BOARD
N
othing could sway the Over the
Hill gang from doing what they
love.
Not even the bureaucracy and politi-
cal haggling that temporarily closed
Moon Lake Park in January 2010.
The informal club consists of seven
or eight friends who gather at the park
three to four times a week to go fish-
ing. Theyve been meeting at the park
for the last 20 years, and the members
of the Over the Hill gang hail from
Nanticoke, Kingston, Plymouth and
Exeter.
And they all share a common bond
that goes above a love for fishing.
We simply enjoy the park, said Dan
Makowski of Nanticoke. There are a
lot of people that go there and enjoy it,
whether its fishing, biking or walking.
Its just a great place and we love it.
They love it enough to pick up litter
left behind by others and clear tree
branches from the walking trails.
And the group loves Moon Lake
enough that they dont want to see it
closed down.
Were regulars there and we hear
rumors every week, said Phil Russo of
Exeter.
Ive heard the rumors as well, so I
went to see if they are true.
What I learned from Luzerne County
chief engineer Joe Gibbons is the park
is seemingly on the verge of a bright
future.
Two public meetings have already
been held to discuss the development
of a master plan for the park. A third
will be held in early March and if the
plan is approved by the state, Gibbons
can start submitting grant applications
to implement activities such as camp-
ing and swimming. But, Gibbons said,
that could take another year at least.
In the meantime the park will remain
open as it has been for a limited num-
ber of activities fishing, biking and
skiing to name a few.
That sounds good to the members of
the Over the Hill gang, who said the
park simply needs to be maintained
and the hours extended to, say, 8 p.m.
The fishing gets better right before
it starts getting dark, Russo said.
Fishing, after all, is what brought the
Over the Hill gang together, and Moon
Lake Park gave them a place to bond.
Were just a group of old-timers that
like to fish and throw the bull, Russo
said. They need to do whatever they
can to keep it open.
They are. But its going to take some
work.
Gibbons said its imperative to devel-
op private/public partnerships to oper-
ate the park, along with some creative
thinking to make the place self-sustain-
ing with limited government dollars
available.
Basically, make the park profitable so
it has a limited impact on the countys
general fund.
Make it self-sustaining.
I think its possible, considering that
the park already has the main compo-
nent firmly in place natural beauty.
The 650-acre spread is home to a
spring-fed lake, tons of walking and
biking trails, plenty of fields for activ-
ities and zigzagged with impressive
stone walls that give it a unique charac-
ter.
Nature has proven to be the best
manager of the park.
Still, there is another aspect that the
park has in its favor.
Aside from the Over the Hill gang
and other users who truly love the
place, there are also those within coun-
ty government that appreciate it as
much as everyone else.
Gibbons is one such person.
There are people in the county that
grew up with the park and really love
it, he said.
Thats why Gibbons is excited about
the potential that could be realized.
Its rare to have a medium-size park
with so many natural amenities that is
so close to a metropolitan area, he said,
adding that Moon Lakes future just
needs to be properly planned.
Moon Lake is an extremely valuable
asset to the county and I really think
we can have the park running better
than it was before, Gibbons said. But
its going to take time.

Local Waterways Conservation
Officer receives award
Waterways Conservation Officers
are often called upon to help anglers
and boaters in times of need. On July
30, 2011, WCO Scott J. Christman and
WCO Aaron Lupacchini of Luzerne
County responded to a call for help on
Mauch Chunk Lake, Carbon County.
An elderly man had capsized his boat
and was under the vessel. Both offi-
cers responded to the scene, where
they removed the man from the water.
The man was not breathing and had
no heartbeat. The two officers began
CPR and established a pulse. The
individual was taken by Life Flight to
Lehigh Valley Hospital but did not
survive.
In recognition for their efforts to
save lives under extraordinary circum-
stances, officers Christman and Lu-
pacchini were presented with Life-
saving Awards by PFBC Executive
Director John Arway and Director of
Law Enforcement Tom Kamerzel
during the agencys board meeting on
Tuesday.
Access to Fishing Creek purchased
Commissioners voted during their
board meeting on Tuesday to purchase
for $4,000 a public fishing access and
conservation easement along Fishing
Creek, a popular trout fishery located
in the Upper Susquehanna-Lackawan-
na watershed. The easement area is
located on property owned by the
Fishing Creek Sportsmens Association
and consists of approximately 210
linear feet on one side of Fishing
Creek along State Route 487 in Fish-
ing Creek Township, Columbia Coun-
ty. The acquisition also includes an
additional easement for a footpath and
parking area to ensure access to the
fishing easement area.
Public fishing access to Fishing
Creek has been limited, said Arway,
who noted that improving access to
the area is a specific goal in Pennsylva-
nias Fishing and Boating Access Strat-
egy, a collaborative effort among
PFBC and partner organizations that
the agency is using to help guide its
decision making. Fishing Creek re-
ceives trout stockings in this area, so
this acquisition will provide greater
public access to these fishing opportu-
nities.
The board also approved the follow-
ing motions:
Approved the publication of a
notice of proposed rulemaking to
apply catch-and-release regulations on
American shad on the Lehigh River
upstream of the first dam in Easton
and its tributaries, and on the Schuyl-
kill River upstream from the I-95
Bridge and its tributaries.
Approved a grant not to exceed
$270,000 to the Wildlands Conser-
vancy for water trail and access area
development along the Lehigh River
in Carbon, Northampton and Lehigh
counties. The grant will be used to
rebuild the boat launch and expand
the parking area at the Walnutport
access in Walnutport, Northampton
County; to construct a parking area
and a concrete boat launch at the
Treichlers Bridge access in North
Whitehall Township, Lehigh County;
and to install new signs along the
Lehigh River Water Trail. Walnutport
Borough, the conservancy and the
state Department of Conservation and
Natural Resources also are providing
funding to the project.
OUTDOOR NEWS
SLOCUM TWP. -- Normally, Water-
ways Conservation Officer Aaron
Lupacchini needs an auger or a
chainsaw to cut through the ice to
stock trout in February.
This year, he does it the same way
that stockings are done in the spring
with buckets or a pipe.
The February trout stockings con-
ducted by the Pennsylvania Fish and
Boat Commission are generally
geared toward ice anglers. But an
unseasonably mild winter has pre-
vented safe ice from forming on most
area lakes, leaving ice anglers out of
luck.
Still, the stockings are going on as
scheduled.
The PFBC released more than
1,000 rainbow trout into Lily Lake on
Friday. The fish were piped into the
lake or dumped in via buckets tech-
niques typical of the spring stockings.
This is unusual, Lupacchini said
of the open water on Lily Lake. And
its not just here, this is happening
across the region.
The lack of ice has forced anglers
to change their tactics for winter
trout. The augers, tip-ups and jigging
poles are left at home while spinning
reels and bobbers are the tackle of
choice. While the ice anglers are out
of luck with the mild weather, Lu-
pacchini said the open shoreline has
increased angling opportunities for
those who prefer to cast rather than
jig through a hole.
Ive never seen a season like this
since Ive been with the agency,
Lupacchini said.
Aside from a thin sheet of ice cov-
ering the area around the boat
launch, most of Lily Lake was open,
giving anglers plenty of room to fish.
But that hasnt been the case every-
where.
When the agency stocked Moon
Lake on Wednesday, the trout were
near impossible to catch thanks to a
coating of ice that covered most of
the lake. The ice was too thin to
walk on, and the open water too
sparse to fish.
Theres no ice to ice fish, and not
enough open water to fish with a
pole, said angler Dan Makowski of
Nanticoke. Youre really in limbo.
Lupacchini said the lack of safe ice
has forced many anglers to fish other
areas. Activity on the Susquehanna
River has increased, he said, as an-
glers can launch their boats now that
the ice flows have cleared from the
river. Anglers have been doing well
with muskie and walleye near the
Shickshinny Bridge and in the West
Nanticoke area, he said.
Guys who would normally be ice
fishing are still putting their boats on
the river, Lupacchini said. There
was some ice on some of the lakes a
few weeks ago, but the guys would
drill test holes on their way out, see
how thin it was and then come back
in.
Despite the lack of an ice fishing
season, the PFBC has conducted all
its winter trout stockings as sched-
uled. While the fish may not be
caught right now, it could present an
enormous opportunity down the
road.
In some places you cant fish the
open water because theres not
enough of it, and cant fish through
the ice because its not thick
enough, said Exeter resident Phil
Russo and he cast into Lily Lake.
What does that mean? Well, there
should be a ton of fish in these plac-
es when the season opens again in
the spring.
And there is still hope that the
weather will turn cold enough to
form safe ice on area lakes, salvaging
a bit of the ice fishing season. If it
happens, there will be plenty of trout
available in area lakes that were
stocked this month.
This is the time of year when
guys are itching to get out of the
house, and the winter trout stocking
program provides an extra opportuni-
ty for them to get onto the water and
catch some fish, Lupacchini said.
No matter if its jigging through the
ice or casting into open water.
Ive never seen a season like this WCO Aaron Lupacchini
Local fishermen watch as trout are being stocked at Lilly Lake on Friday morning.
Mild weather not as nice as ice
The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission had staff out stocking trout at
Lilly Lake on Friday morning.
Trout season schedule
The extended trout season runs until
Feb. 29. The daily limit is three trout
and the minimum size is seven inches.
Remember, a 2012 fishing license and
trout/salmon permit is required to fish
the extended season.

BILLINGS, Mont. Yellow-
stone National Park administra-
tors plan to capture and ship to
slaughter potentiallyhundreds of
wild bison if they migrate into
Montanathis winter inabidtore-
duce disease and control the pop-
ulation of the animals.
The captures could begin as
soon as mid-February, park offi-
cials said.
The effort comes as neighbor-
ingMontanaisproposingtolet bi-
son roam more freely in the
70,000-acre Gardiner Basinnorth
of the park despite resistance
from local officials and some cat-
tle ranchers.
Although the moves by the
state and park appear contradic-
tory, officials say keeping bison
numbers under control is key to
increasing public tolerance for
the animals.
Amildwinter sofar has slowed
the bison migration. That could
scuttle the slaughter plans if con-
ditions persist.
But about 570 bison are close
enough to Yellowstones north-
ern boundary that a significant
winter storm could trigger them
tomovetowardtheMontanaline,
park and state officials said.
"We wouldstill estimate 300 to
500 animals to be at the north
boundary before the end of win-
ter," said Yellowstone bison biol-
ogist Rick Wallen.
The slaughter would target fe-
maleanimalsthat test positivefor
exposure to the livestock disease
brucellosis. About 50 bison
would be diverted to an animal
contraception research program.
The parks goal is to remove up
to 330 bison from the population
this winter toworktowardalong-
term objective of about 3,000 of
theanimals. Themost recent pop-
ulation count tallied 3,720 bison
Bison advocates criticized the
slaughter plan when it was un-
veiledlatelast year. Theywant bi-
son North Americas largest
animals to have unfettered ac-
cess to their historic winter graz-
inggrounds at lower elevations in
Montana.
The slaughter proposal also
met with a tepid reception from
Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer.
The Democrat has been sparring
withthe parks parent agency, the
Department of Interior, over a
wide range of wildlife manage-
ment issues and in December is-
sued an executive order prohibit-
ing any wildlife shipments by In-
terior without prior state approv-
al.
A similar order last winter
blocked bison slaughter ship-
ments just days before they were
slated to begin.
Yellowstone Superintendent
DanWenksaidhe hopedtodevel-
op a cooperative process that will
let the shipments proceed if the
migration occurs.
"Myunderstandingis that with
appropriate notice and appropri-
ate protocols in place, we will be
allowed to ship bison to slaugh-
ter," he said.
Meat from slaughtered bison
wouldbedistributedtoAmerican
Indian tribes. Many tribes have a
strong cultural attachment to the
animals and relied on them his-
torically as a primary source of
protein.

Big show worth a days visit
By BOB MARCHIO
The Hanover Sun
FRANKFORT, Ky. Dogs
could be used to chase black
bears in Kentucky under a new
proposal thats being heralded by
hunters and assailed by animal
rights activists.
The Kentucky Fish and Wild-
life Commission could vote as
early as next month to establish a
roughly six-week season begin-
ning in August for hunters to
chase bears but not kill them,
and another limited season in
December in which hunters
could shoot the bears that their
dogs bay.
The Kentucky Houndsmen As-
sociation said the proposal will
not only provide hunters with
more opportunities but will also
instill a fear of people in some of
the more brazen bruins that have
moved into the states mountain
region.
The Humane Society of the
United States criticizes chasing
bears with hounds as inhumane,
and a bad idea considering the
population is estimated at less
than 500 animals.
More than a century ago, bears
thrived in Kentuckys mountain
region, but over-hunting and
habitat loss led to their disap-
pearance.
Over the past 20 years, they
have been venturing back into
Kentucky from other states.
Kentucky Wildlife Director Ka-
ren Waldrop recommended the
proposal Friday to a four-mem-
ber committee that voted to send
it to the full commission for con-
sideration. Kentucky would be
among fewer than 20 states
including Tennessee, Virginia
and West Virginia that allow
hunters to chase bears with dogs.
"Its not cruel," said Larry Cor-
nett, vice president of the Ken-
tucky Bear Hunters Association.
"A lot of people seemto have the
idea that if you put a dog on a
bear, theyre going to kill it.
Thats not the way it is."
Cornett contends that chasing
bears could save the lives of
those that have become habituat-
ed to humans and need to be
pressured to move deeper into
the woods. Bears that frequent
residential areas, he said, often
end up getting hit by cars or shot.
Casey Pheiffer, director of
wildlife abuse campaign for the
Humane Society, called for the
wildlife commission to reject the
proposal.
"The general public is going to
have very little tolerance for
hounding bears," she said. "Its
unsporting to chase down ani-
mals with packs of dogs."
Pheiffer said Kentuckys wild-
life officials have implemented
unpopular polices in the past, in-
cluding a recent hunting season
for sandhill cranes.
"The public is going to lose tol-
erance," she said, "and whats go-
ing to be the backlash for all
hunting?"
Pheiffer also questioned the
timing of the hunt, suggesting
cubs will still be with their moth-
ers in August. "Theyre going to
chase sows with cubs," she said.
"And cubs might get separated
from their mothers and starve to
death."
For some five years, the hun-
ters have been pressing state
wildlife officials to approve a
"chase" season for bears in the
states Appalachian region.
There, some of the animals have
been raiding garbage cans, eat-
ing from back porch pet food
bowls, and, in one instance,
mauling a tourist in the Red Riv-
er Gorge.
Kentucky already allows a
two-day quota bear hunting sea-
son with guns in Harlan, Letcher
and Pike counties. The wildlife
commission could also vote next
month to extend that to three
days this year, and add Bell
County to the list of approved
counties. The maximumnumber
of bears that could be killed will
remain 10.
Last year, hunters got only
four.
Waldrop said the proposal to
be considered by the wildlife
commission next month would
allowhunters using dogs to com-
plete the quota. If gun hunters
kill only four this December,
hound hunters would be eligible
to try for the remaining six.

TO SOME IT IS con-
sidered an established
art form, while for
others it resembles a
contact sport. I am
not talking about the
latest American real-
ist painter or an up-
coming cage match in professional
wrestling. Rather, I am referring to the
holiday shopping season in which
bargain-conscious shoppers annually
scour countless sales fliers and In-
ternet sites in search of the best deal.
Oftentimes, online stores offer con-
sumers the best price because they do
not routinely add the sales tax to the
purchase price, such as the 6 percent
levy for Pennsylvania residents. The
state of Pennsylvania is working to end
the online tax holiday by ramping up
efforts to collect a use tax from on-
line shoppers and Internet stores. The
commonwealth passed the little-known
law in 1953 that requires state resi-
dents to pay a 6 percent tax on any
taxable goods or services that were not
collected by the vendor.
The Pennsylvania Department of
Revenue wants you to pay the use tax
and has taken a step toward making it
easier to comply with the law. Begin-
ning with this tax-filing season, the
state has added a line (number 25) to
the 2011 PA-40 personal income tax
return to enter your tax obligation for
taxable online purchases that were not
taxed by the merchant. In prior years,
taxpayers had to file a form called a
PA-1 and remit the use tax with it.
Of course, most Pennsylvanians were
not aware of their use tax responsib-
ilities, and even if they did know, they
did not file the proper PA-1 form and
pay the tax. The majority of businesses
in the state do, however, pay the use
tax because the probability they will
get caught and penalized is higher.
Businesses paid most of the $388 mil-
lion the state realized from the use tax
in fiscal year 2011. Individuals, though,
have not voluntarily stepped forward to
pay the estimated $350 million in use
tax due from them in fiscal year 2011,
the state estimates.
The use tax accomplishes two goals:
It adds additional revenue to state
coffers, which will lessen the budget
deficit, and it represents a tangible way
to help make Pennsylvania businesses
more competitive with out-of-state
online vendors that are not making
customers lay out an extra 6 percent on
their purchases.
While the Department of Revenues
efforts will be focused on getting Ama-
zon and other online retailers to collect
sales tax at the time of sale, until that
is accomplished audits of Pennsylvania
businesses will be expanded to ensure
complete use tax reporting and remit-
tance. Collection of the use tax from
businesses will yield the highest return
in additional collections. During 2011,
the department sent out more than
100,000 letters to businesses reminding
them of their use tax obligation and
providing incentives for compliance.
The use tax owed by individuals is
not being ignored, but the state knows
enforcement will be difficult due to a
large number of taxpayers who each
owe only a small amount, if any at all.
The commonwealth, however, also is
pursuing efforts to encourage individu-
als to report use tax. More than 70
percent of Pennsylvanians will e-file
their state tax returns this year. The
online system has been programmed to
reject returns unless a number for use
tax is entered on line 25 of the PA-40. A
taxpayer can report zero as that num-
ber, but cannot leave line 25 blank. The
implication is that a taxpayer who
reports a zero tax obligation for the use
tax, but does in fact owe something, is
guilty of misrepresentation on a tax
return a serious offense if discov-
ered.
Many people can make arguments
for or against sales or use taxes as
currently enacted. My purpose, howev-
er, is only to present information on
the use tax and recent changes in col-
lection efforts by Pennsylvania. It is up
to the individual taxpayer to pay their
fair share as constituted in the 1953
law.

ORANGE, Va. Theyre studs
abroad, playing the field. The next
wave waits in Virginia, preparing
to boarda ship, cross anoceanand
hit a desperate mating scene.
Its an enviable mission, at least
fromthe perspective of the Virgin-
ia Holstein bulls dispatched to
help the Russian dairy industry by
doing what bulls do best.
Its a new version of detente,
said Travis Hill, Virginias deputy
secretary of agriculture and for-
estry.
Twenty-nine black-and-white
aspiring sires have set hoof in Rus-
sia, part of the first export of live
Virginia Holstein bulls to that
country, Gov. Robert McDonnell
announced last week. Thirty
more will head there in April.
Russianfarmers want American
bulls to improve dairy-herd genet-
ics in a land hampered first by col-
lective farming, then by the col-
lapse of the Soviet Union.
Sending live animals overseas
is a bit of an anachronismin an era
in which cattle genetics are more
often shipped in sperm- and em-
bryo-filled vials, not on hoof.
Lacking expertise in assisted bo-
vine reproductive technology,
many Russian farmers prefer to
buy the bull and let nature take it
from there.
Abull is able to do a lot of busi-
ness over the course of his life-
time, said Todd Haymore, Virgin-
ias agriculture and forestry secre-
tary.
The long-sought deal -- a decade
in the making -- promises to do
wonders for Russian dairy produc-
tion, not to mention Old Domin-
ion farmers.
Russia spends more than $300
million a year importing live ani-
mals. As of last year, American
cattle farmers received just $10
million of that fast-growing mar-
ket.
When Haymore calls Russia a
bull market, hes not simply
cracking wise. In 2009, the coun-
try imported 35,000 live cattle.
Last year, the number was 55,000.
Russian farmers are trying to
improve dairy herds that produce
an average 7,000 pounds of milk

OPEN FOR BUSINESS
NEW YORK Blooming-
dales Chief Executive Officer
Michael Gould is a fan of Presi-
dent Barack Obamas efforts to
speed up tourist visas for Chi-
nese and Brazilian shoppers.
Doing so would create an im-
mediate surge in retail sales as
foreign shoppers clamor for
Marc Jacobs and Kate Spade de-
signs, Gould said in a telephone
interview. The department store
chain is preparing for a potential
boom by tailoring merchandise
assortments to Brazilian and
Chinese tastes and advertising
outside of the United States for
the first time.
Were expecting an enor-
mous uptick in growth, Gould
said from the Bloomingdales
New York headquarters. We
have the kind of brands that are
highly respected by these vis-
itors, and the faster they can get
here the better.
Obama signed an executive
order Jan. 19 giving the Depart-
ment of Homeland Security and
Department of State 60 days to
come up with a plan to process
visa applications fromChina and
Brazil more quickly. The order
recommends shortening the
process to three weeks fromfour
months. Visa processing capaci-
tyinChinaandBrazil must bein-
creasedby 40 percent inthe next
year, according to the order.
The resulting increase in U.S.
tourism could create 1.3 million
jobs and add $850 billion to the
economy by 2020, the National
Retail Federation said in a Jan.
19 report, citing the U.S. Travel
Association.
The Federation for American
Immigration Reform said in a
statement on its website that
Obamas order, which calls for
less stringent screening, increas-
es potential for terrorism and
visa overstays.
For years, retailers from Saks
to Bloomingdales have watched
as Chinese and Brazilian shop-
pers traveledto cities suchas Pa-
ris and Rome, where the wait
time for a visa is about 10 days.
Its really stupefying to see
the number of Chinese tourists
in Paris, Gould said. We find it
frustrating to see business going
elsewhere.
From 2000 to 2010, the U.S.
share of global tourism fell to 11
percent from17percent, spurred
by stricter security followingthe
Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, said
David French, head of govern-
ment relations at the Washing-
ton-based NRF.
Obamas plan could help U.S.
gain back its share of the global
tourism market, Stephen Sa-
dove, chief executive officer at
Saks, said in an emailed state-
ment. The NewYork-basedluxu-
ry department store could see
quick surges in business at its
gateway city locations such as
New York, San Francisco and
Chicago, he said.
The sagging dollar has also at-
tracted foreign tourists to the
U.S. as they seek to buy clothing
andjewelry onthe cheap, French
said.
Demand for U.S. visas from
Brazil, China and India have
spiked immensely as these econ-
omies boom, French said in a
telephone interview. This is a
winning situation for retailers
because a key reason overseas
visitors want tocomeis toshop.
Visas could add $850 billion to tourism

Q: One of my star employees
has developeda very negative at-
titude. During the past three
years, I have assigned Kevin to
desirable projects, given him
special bonuses and made him a
team leader. But in the past few
months, he has become increas-
ingly arrogant and uncoopera-
tive.
Kevin does not reply to my
emails and withholds important
information. He often comes
late to meetings and sometimes
skips them altogether. Most re-
cently, he said that he does not
respect my leadership style. I re-
plied that whether he likes my
style or not, Im still his manag-
er.
If I officially reprimand Kevin,
Im afraid he might leave. I
would hate to lose him because
he has so much potential. How
should I handle this situation?
A: Your star performer would
appear to be angry about some-
thing that happened a few
months back. Because hes un-
comfortable discussing the real
issue, Kevin is using passive-ag-
gressive behavior to send you a
message.
Try to recall the approximate
date when Kevins attitude
seemed to shift, then search
your memory for any event
which might have made himfeel
slighted or insulted. But if noth-
ing comes to mind, you will sim-
ply have to ask.
For example: Kevin, Ive real-
ized that our relationship start-
edgettingworse aroundmid-Oc-
tober. Ive tried to figure out
what went wrong, but I honestly
have no idea. We worked well to-
gether for a longtime, soI would
really like to know what hap-
pened. Have I done something
to anger or disappoint you?
Once you identify the root
cause of Kevins unhappiness, a
productive discussion may fol-
low. But if he refuses to talk, you
have no choice but to deal with
this as a performance issue. Ke-
vin needs to understand that, re-
gardless of how he feels, main-
taining a cooperative relation-
ship withones boss is a basic job
expectation.
Q: When I asked about a raise
several months ago, my manag-
er said no money was available
for pay increases. I was recently
toldinconfidence, however, that
a newly hired co-worker has a
much higher salary than mine,
even though I am our depart-
ments top producer. How can I
tactfully tell my manager that I
am aware of this discrepancy
without revealing my source to
him?
A: If you focus only on your
colleagues pay, your boss will
probably reply that he cant dis-
cuss individual salaries, andthat
will be the end of the conversa-
tion. But if you are absolutely
sure this information is correct,
consider using it to leverage
your own request for an in-
crease.
For example: The last time
we discussed raises, salary bud-
gets were very tight. However, I
recently learned that our newest
employee is being paid more
than anyone else. Since I am the
top producer, I think it would be
onlyfair torevisit the topic of my
compensation. Whenwouldbe a
good time to talk about this?
If your boss asks how you ob-
tained this information, the only
honest response is that you were
toldinconfidence. This may irri-
tate him, however, so youll have
to decide whether to take that
risk.

per cow each year, said Valery
Osipenko, who co-owns Vistar
Farms of Mechanicsville, Md.,
which sold the bulls to Russian
farmers for an undisclosed
amount. Top-quality American
Holsteins produce an average of
more than20,000 pounds of milk
per year.
Instead of raising dairy cattle
for milk and beef cattle for meat,
Soviet collective farms had
dual-use cattle, which would
be milked for a while, then killed
for meat, Osipenko said. Those
one-size-fits-all cattle may have
embodied an egalitarian ideal,
but both milk and meat were me-
diocre, saidOsipenko, a native of
Ukraine who recalled his mother
boiling beef for hours in a fruit-
less attempt to tenderize it.
After the Soviet Union col-
lapsed, many dairy herds were
all but wiped out as hungry Rus-
sians consumed them for food.
There was a terrible crisis,
apparently, and they pretty
much ate their seed stock, said
Patrick Comyn, a large-animal
veterinarian with the private Vir-
ginia Herd Health Management

In recent years, with at least
pockets of affluence in Russia,
consumers have started to de-

Shipping vials of genetic mate-

tons of living, breathing cargo
that requires water, food, veter-

long term, live bulls can be the
more economical way to go.
Top-quality fertilized Holstein
eggs can fetch as much as
$5,000, Comyn said. A young
bull with good genetics can be
had for as little as $1,100, a rela-

Workers on Doug Harris farm in Orange, Va., supply fresh feed and
hay to cattle, some of which will be shipped to dairy farmers in
Russia.
While single-family residential property sales were steady
last year, other categories of real estate showed sharp de-
clines.
Sales of vacant land dropped off by more than 30 percent in
2011 versus the previous year.
According to data provided by the Greater Wilkes-Barre
Association of Realtors, 77 parcels of vacant land were sold
through association realtors in 2011, down from113 in 2010.
In dollar volume, sales declined16 percent, from $6.7 mil-
lion to $5.6 million, while the average price increased to
$73,250 from $59,500.
Kevin Smith, secretary for the association and owner/
broker with Century 21 Smith Hourigan Group, said the
decline might be due in part to a lack of available lots.
Theres not a lot of availability of land because over the
last fewyears there havent been any newdevelopments,
Smith said. Nobodys going to put in two or three million
dollars if the markets not right.
Smith also said the decline in prices of existing homes
since 2007 has created a perception that buyers can get a
better deal on an existing house than on building a newone.
While there might be some truth to that, Smith also said
builders are eager to close deals in the current market, and
the decision to build or buy an existing home is ultimately a
matter of personal preference.
Some people buy newcars; some people buy used cars,
Smith said. Each case is really individual, and thats what
makes up a market; a whole bunch of individual transac-
tions.
Sales of multi-family homes also declined though less
drastically, dropping 9 percent from 226 properties sold in
2010 to 205 in 2011. Dollar volume dropped from $13.3 mil-
lion to $11.8 million in the same period.
Commercial property sales dropped from 64 in 2010 to 50
in 2011, while the total value of commercial properties sold
increased from $5.9 million in 2010 to $6.4 million last year.
When all categories of property are totaled, association
members sawdollar volume decrease 9 percent to $238.5
million on 2,007 transactions, 103 fewer than in 2010.

thank goodness its listed at a price

Centini said she thinks many oth-

Im sure a lot of people live in a

and get emotionally attached to it,
andset avaluethat reflectsthat emo-

We didnt do that, we tried to look

Centini added she and her hus-

Now I think you have to be a lot

Lossesandgains
While the overall market has held
steady overall, some regions fared
better thanothers in2011.
Wilkes-Barre, at -11 percent, and
the Back Mountain, at -16 percent,
sawthegreatest declinesinthenum-
ber of home sales, while Mountain
Top, at17percent, andthe regionin-
cluding Hanover Township, Ashley
andNanticoke, at13percent, sawthe
greatest increases.
RonVigloneof MarilynSnyderRe-
al Estate in Wilkes-Barre attributed
the decline in Wilkes-Barre transac-
tions to reports of crime and prob-
lems with absentee landlords who
dont maintaintheir properties.
Wilkes-Barres getting a bad rap
right now,Viglonesaid. Theywant
around Wilkes-Barre; Pittston or
Plains or somethinglikethat.
The numbers appear to bear out
Viglones view. The neighboring re-
gions of Kingston/Forty Fort/

Rundle said those issues probably
hadmoreof animpact onthemarket
in Wilkes-Barre than the September
flood, which if anything probably
helped the market in the city and in
other communities protected by the
WyomingValleylevee.
If you go back before this flood, a
lot of people were saying I want to
buy a house but not in the flood
zone, Rundle said. You dont hear
that anymore; people are reassured
that its safe.

STANDING TALL
Stock markets around the
world rose in January, and
none more than Egypt. Its mar-
ket jumped 25.3 percent during
the month, according to S&P
Indices. Thats more than dou-
ble the 11.6 percent rise for
emerging market stocks over-
all. Its nearly quintuple the 5.4
percent gain for developed
markets. Egyptian stocks
climbed after its new parlia-
ment met for the first time on
Jan. 23, and the one-year anni-
versary of its Jan. 25, 2011, up-
rising passed peacefully. The
market, though, fell on Thurs-
day after riots at a soccer
match left 74 people dead.
GIANT GAINS?
New York has Wall Street, and Boston is
home to big mutual fund managers. But the
financial world may be united in favor of New
York over New England in the Super Bowl.
Theyre following the Super Bowl Theory,
which says that if a team from the NFC - or
one with roots in the old National Football
League - wins, the S&P 500 will rise over the
year. It has been correct 73 percent of the
time, S&P senior index analyst Howard Sil-
verblatt says. That may be because stocks
have risen more often than not: The S&P 500
rose in 33 of the last 45 years. And teams
from the NFC or with roots in the old NFL
have won more often than not. Pittsburgh has
won six Super Bowls, more than any other
team. It traces its roots to the old NFL. Tied
for No. 2 in title wins are two NFC teams: San
Francisco and Dallas, with five each.
GOOD READING
The S&P 500 rose 4.4 per-
cent in January. Thats good
news for adherents of the
January barometer, which
says that an up January for
the index tends to foreshad-
ow an up year. Over the last
83 years, the January barom-
eter has been correct 72 per-
cent of the time. The S&P
500s rise last month was its
best start to a year since
1997. The index jumped 31
percent that year. The last
time the S&P 500 rose more
than 4 percent in January
was 1999. The index ended
up jumping 19.5 percent that
year.
Jan. rise Yearly change
New York Giants wide receiver Willie Ponder
Call it the active managers
lament. Its an explanation that
mutual fund managers some-
times give for their inability to
beat the stock market. Several
managers and stories in the fi-
nancial me-
dia have
suggested
that its be-
come in-
creasingly
difficult
since 2008
to pick win-
ning stocks
because the
entire mar-
ket seems
to move in
lockstep. Market pros call it a
period of high correlation,
when big news seems to drive
the movement of all stocks.
Think global economic data, in-
terest rate announcements and
developments in Europes debt
crisis. The prospects of individu-
al companies seem to be swept
up in at all, and it doesnt matter
what you invest in.
John Osbon isnt buying it.
He runs Osbon Capital Manage-
ment, a boutique investment ad-
viser in Boston, and advocates
low-cost index investing using
exchange-traded funds. Heres
his take on what he calls the
correlation myth.
What evidence do you have
suggesting this is a myth?
Look at the 30 stocks in Dow
Jones industrial average last
year. Twenty had positive re-
turns, and 10 were negative.
They ranged from McDonalds,
which posted a total return of
nearly 35 percent, to Bank of
America, which lost 58 percent.
Thats not high correlation. And
there were big differences last
year between asset classes.
U.S. stocks were flat to slightly
higher, while international and
emerging markets fell sharply.
On a daily basis, of course
markets are correlated, and al-
most everything goes either up
or down. But that correlation
seems to be absent when you
look at returns over a month, or
a quarter, or a full year. The
problem is that correlation in-
creases at times when you dont
want it. Thats in down markets,
when theres no place to hide,
because all stocks are declining.
If youre right that stocks
arent moving in sync, will a
skilled fund manager have an
easier time selecting the
stocks that are likely to out-
perform, compared with a
highly correlated market?
There is no evidence to support
the notion that active managers
have the ability to pick winners
for the long-term. Stock-picking
works until it doesnt. Its like
being in a casino, and betting
on the guy with the hot hand
who can flip the coin to heads
10 times in a row. He cant keep
it up. Investing is a zero-sum
game, and for every winner, the
must be a loser.
So how should one invest, if
market correlation is a myth?
Diversify, and get rid of single-
stock risk. You wont have sur-
prises, like Bank of Americas
58 percent decline last year.
And go with index investing,
rather than active management.
Youll increase your return, and
reduce your risk.
Whats your prediction: Will
markets get more or less cor-
related this year?
It will be even less correlated,
and driven by events. Individual
securities do not react the same
way to the same news. If theres
an oil price increase, oil stocks
will go up, and utilities and air-
lines go down.
What
correlation?

Changing Penneys
Everyone wants to see what Ron Johnson will do for
J.C. Penney. Johnson pioneered the cheap chic image
at discounter Target. At Apple, he changed the way we
shop for electronic gadgets.
Johnson, 52, is now CEO of Penney. Hes borrowing
fromApples playbook by innovating Penney stores. He
has created a new everyday price policy. Hes making
services, not just merchandise, part of what Penney does.
He has challenges: Department
stores have lost market share to
retailers like H&M and Zara. Penneys
middle-class customers have been hit
hard by the economy. Younger
customers arent attracted to Penney.
For the 11 months through Decem-
ber, Penney's revenue at stores open at
least a year a standard for measuring
a retailers health rose 0.7 percent.
Sales at Macys rose 5.4 percent.
Johnson spoke with The Associated
Press recently. Here are excerpts:
What was your first impression of
Penney?
I would describe J.C. Penney as one of
a handful of great American brands that
seemed like it was dormant, that had
been a great part of the fabric of
America for almost a century but it just
wasn't modern. It wasnt top of mind.
Everybody can tell a story about their
mom or their grandma or the old catalog
days. But they dont have modern
stories.
How did you come up with the new pricing
strategy?
Pricing is actually a pretty simple and straight forward
thing. Customers will not pay literally a penny more
than the true value of the product. And as I have been
watching the department stores for the past decade, I
have been struck by the extraordinary amount of
promotional activity, which to me, didnt feel like it was
appropriate for a department store.
What are your plans to make the
shopping experience more
exciting?
Well transform the buying experi-
ence not unlike what we did at
Apple.
When will we see improvements?
Youll start to see the experience
change month by month. Everyone
thinks its an overnight success but it
never is. I was at Apple from 2000 to
2011, but it wasnt until 2004 that the
iPod became an important part of
peoples lives. It wasnt until 2007
that Apple reinvented the phone. It
wasnt until 2009 that Apple
launched the iPad.
What ideals have you embraced
from Steve Jobs?
The importance of doing everything
you do to your very best. And that
the journey is the reward. If you do
things well one at a time, you end up
in a really good place.

The performance rankings for S&P 500 stocks so far this year
looks like the mirror opposite of last year.
The No. 1 stock in the S&P 500 in January was Netflix. It
soared 73.5 percent on expectations that fourth-quarter earnings
per share would beat financial analysts expectations. They did.
The company said earnings fell to just 73 cents from 87 cents a
year earlier. Analysts were expecting a steeper drop to 54 cents,
according to FactSet.
The company lured back many of the customers that it lost after
an unpopular price increase last summer. Netflix fell 60.6 percent
in 2011 and was the third worst stock in the S&P 500 last year.
Another rebounder was Bank of America, the sixth-best stock
in the index after a 28.2 percent rise in January. That follows its
58.3 percent plunge in 2011, when it ranked 496th out of the 500
stocks in the index. The Charlotte, N.C.-based bank said on Jan.
19 that it returned to a fourth-quarter profit after selling some of
its assets.

Mortgage rates fall again
The average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage fell
to a record low last week. Its the ninth time that
has happened in the last year, and the rate is now
3.87 percent. But rates may turn higher next week
because they tend to follow the yield on the 10-
year Treasury. The 10-year yield rose last week af-
ter the unemployment rate fell to its lowest level in
nearly three years.

TOM PRIBULA has a
difficult job.
Appointed Luzerne
Countys interim
manager until perma-
nent manager Robert
Lawton takes over on
Feb. 21, Pribula needs
to pass a budget, keep the dome bat-
tened down and pray he never has to
invoke Section 4.07-B, Paragraph 6 of
the Home Rule Charter declaring
states of emergency.
Is there enough money in the phony
budget submitted by the outgoing
county commissioners, the same bud-
get initially supported by the new
council, or anywhere in county govern-
ment to confront and successfully
manage another disaster?
Does anyone know? Or is this budget
process only about cutting and jitters
over raising revenue to meet expenses?
Never mind that it might be a county
support beam Pribula and council are
having hauled out to the Dumpster.
The home rule charter requires the
county manager to produce a budget
outlining for the people his fat-free
priorities to keep the county safe,
strong and solvent. A county manager,
permanent or otherwise, has no greater
responsibility.
One does not chop $680,000 out of
the District Attorneys Office and $4.5
million from the county court system
and say: Go make safe the streets.
Neither should the county CEO ever
suggest that a chief public defender,
critical of cuts to his department that
guarantees a constitutionally protected
right, might be replaced by a new pub-
lic defender with council confirmation
if theres a lack of cooperation.
Luzerne Countys chief executive
must explain to council and the people
where he stands on funding each gov-
ernment compartment and why. Coun-
cil may adopt the managers budget or
approve an amended version. If altered
significantly, the manager may in writ-
ing request that council reconsider
its action and require the group to
publicly re-vote the issue.
Reconsideration does not carry the
weight of a veto. The charter does not
give the manager the power to veto
legislation. The will of council prevails.
But forcing council to publicly re-vote
an ordinance expresses the executives
displeasure, clarifies policy differences
between the independent branches of
government, assigns responsibility and
better informs the public.
Its called checks and balances.
In three short weeks Pribula has
produced three different budgets. In
doing so, he has obscured his prior-
ities. In an attempt to have council pass
anything other than the hoax perpetrat-
ed by the three former commissioners,
he confuses his constituents.
Even if not approved, a county man-
ager must publicly present his pri-
orities, his budget, ordinances and
resolutions. Council members will then
cast the yeas and nays, letting everyone
know where they stand. But the man-
ager is not the clerk of county council,
an errand boy to be sent repeatedly
back to the drawing board.
It is ironic that interim manager
Pribulas first budget might have been
the most responsible, as it called for a
tax increase of .185 of a mill and sup-
posedly avoided any one-time fix. In an
ideal setting, Pribula owed it to the
people to stand his ground, argue for
his original budget, strongly advocate
saving the one-time fix and do whats
right for Luzerne County.
But time is running out, and this is a
brand new government. If nothing is
passed, the shameful budget of the
former commissioners becomes effec-
tive in 10 days. Pribula has a difficult
job.
Being interim anything is having
one foot in the door and one not. It is a
near impossible situation and in this
instance the new council is hesitant to
increase taxes even .124 of a mill. Un-
fortunately the sad legacy of the previ-
ous county administration requires it.
Luzerne County Interim Manager
Tom Pribula has a difficult job; but hes
doing it well.

IS AMERICA in de-
cline? Is our global
influence waning?
Expect that question
to get plenty of airtime
as the presidential
campaign heats up.
According to the Re-
publicans, President Obamas funda-
mental foreign policy problemis that he
thinks America is a fading power and all
we can hope for is to manage the de-
cline.
Its a claimthats long been echoing
through the conservative blogosphere,
and nowthe campaign trail. John Bol-
ton, whos joined Mitt Romneys foreign
policy team, minces no words: Obama
believes that the role of America in the
world is to be a well-bred doormat.
Romney (who wrote a whole book on
the theme of American greatness) is
equally strident: I reject the viewthat
America must decline. Obama might be
inclined to wave the white flag of sur-
render, he said, but God did not create
this country to be a nation of followers.
Stung by Republican attacks, Obama
has been insisting that hes no declinist.
In last weeks State of the Union address,
he nearly out-Romneyed Romney, pro-
claiming, Anyone who tells you that
America is in decline or that our influen-
ce has waned, doesnt knowwhat theyre
talking about.
Thats dangerous pabulum. Any hon-
est diplomat will tell you that American
power and global influence is waning,
and if we shy away fromacknowledging
that fact, well only speed up the proc-
ess.
American influence is waning for two
reasons, the first of which should poten-
tially be a source of comfort, not despair.
While we continue to have the worlds
most formidable military, Americas
power in the world is declining simply
because once-weak states are growing
stronger. Europe, despite its current
woes, is an economic and diplomatic
force to be reckoned with. China, India
and Brazil are emerging as regional
powerhouses with increasingly global
reach.
As a result of the rise of the rest,
U.S. power is declining in a relative
sense. In the last decade, for instance,
our share of global output dropped from
23.5 percent to19.1percent. And this is
a trend that began decades ago. In his
1987 National Security Strategy, Presi-
dent Reagan noted, The United States
no longer ha(s) an overwhelming eco-
nomic position vis-a-vis Western Europe
and the East Asia rimland. In1990,
President George H.W. Bush echoed this
theme in his National Security Strategy:
It was inevitable that our overwhelm-
ing economic predominance after the
war would be reduced.
If Reagan were alive today, conserva-
tives would excoriate himas a declinist.
But as Reagan recognized, a decline in
relative American power is a good thing,
not a bad thing if we can turn rising
states into solid allies. Remember Gul-
livers Travels? True, it wasnt much fun
for Gulliver to be the little guy in the
land of Brobdingnagian giants, but it
was even less fun to be a giant among
the Lilliputians. Like Gulliver, America
will prosper most if we can surround
ourselves with friendly peer and near-
peer states. They give us larger markets
and improve burden-sharing; none of the
global problems that bedevil us can be
solved by the United States alone.
But theres another reason American
influence is declining, one that should
cause us far more concern. Obama put
his finger on it during the State of the
Union speech, when he asked whether
we wanted to settle for being a country
where a shrinking number of people do
really well, while a growing number of
Americans barely get by.
By many measures, weve hollowed
out the American dream: American life
expectancy ranks well belowthat of
other industrialized democracies, and
the same is true for infant mortality
rates and elementary school enrollment
rates. We have the highest documented
per capita incarceration rate in the
world. And as the Occupy Wall Street
movement has helped point out, we
have greater income inequality in this
country than in any other state in the
developed world and most states in
the developing world.

HICAGO Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich recently offered to
attend an NAACP convention to explain why African-Americans should demand
paychecks instead of food stamps. And he has described President Barack Obama
as the most successful food stamp president in American history.
While the Republican presidential race has brought the welfare issue to the forefront,
critics say it has also resurrected stereotypical images of the black welfare mother having
out-of-wedlock babies so she can stay home and live large off the taxpayers.
When it comes to welfare, percep-
tions have often trumped reality.
Among the facts:
Though blacks are dispropor-
tionately represented among food
stamp recipients, far more whites re-
ceive such assistance. When recip-
ients identified themselves by race
in 2010, 34 percent were white, 22
percent were black and 16 were per-
cent Hispanic, the Agriculture De-
partment said.
Food-stamp spending has in-
deedincreasedunder Obama, but its
steady climb began under President
George W. Bush.
Blacks form a slight plurality in
Temporary Assistance for Needy
Families, or TANF, a system that of-
fers cash assistance and is much
smaller than the food stamp pro-
gram. Of families receiving TANF
help in 2009, 33 percent were Afri-
can-American, 31 percent were
white and 29 percent were Hispanic.
Since passage of the 1996 Wel-
fare Reform Act, those seeking cash
assistance have faced strict work re-
quirements and a five-year lifetime
limit.
In some welfare categories, rolls
have dramatically declined. Accord-
ing to the U.S. Department of Health
andHumanServices, whichruns the
TANF cash assistance program,
about 1.9 million families received
TANF funds last year, down from a
record 5 million families in 1994.
So why has welfare emerged as an
issue this election year? Discussions
about anti-povertyprograms certain-
ly have a place in national cam-
paigns, particularly during tough ec-
onomic times. But University of Chi-
cagopolitical scientist Michael Daw-
son says Gingrich was using welfare
as a wedge issue.
It was a blatant attempt to resort
to a 40-year-old tactic to prop up
ones campaignby evokingthe black-
person-on-welfare trope, said Daw-
son, the director of the universitys
Center for the Study of Race, Politics
and Culture. Its a tired tactic but
one thats sometimes effective inmo-
bilizing white racial resentment.
He recalled that in1976, when Ro-
nald Reagan lost the Iowa caucuses,
he began talking about a welfare
queen from Chicagos South Side.
Gingrichs paychecks instead of
food stamps comment came after
he finished fourth in Iowa. He won
Saturdays South Carolina primary.
Robert Rector, a senior research
fellow at the conservative Heritage
Foundation, has a different objection
to Gingrichs comments. According
to Rector, the candidate shouldnt
just be focusing on food stamps, but
on all of the expensive means-tested
government programs.
I think the government needs to
play a role in providing a safety net,
but it needs to be more like a safety
trampoline than a safety bog, said
Rector.
Yes, cash assistance was greatly
overhauled, but other programs
went virtually untouched and they
continue to grow. I think it would be
more accurate to call Obama the
Welfare President.
The Center on Budget and Policy
Priorities, a nonpartisan think tank,
said anti-poverty programs make up
about 20 percent of the federal bud-
get, and thats been true over the last
three decades when both Republi-
cans and Democrats have been in
power.
Amongthe bigsocial safetynet ex-
penditures in 2011 are Medicaid
($274 billion) and refundable tax

We needed to come to the party
with something new and
different.

explained that the corporations efforts to reach
Super Bowl viewers has gone beyond the TV screen to other gadgets
that people use during the game. Coca-Cola set up a Facebook page
and website so viewers can see its animated polar bears one

Giants reacting to the game in real time.
IT SOUNDS like a great
idea when you first hear it:
Medicare is making its
claims files available to
insurers, employers and
consumer groups so they
can prepare report cards on
individual doctors.
The files will reveal such things as how
many times doctors perform particular pro-
cedures as well as how often their patients
develop preventable complications. Medicare
itself will maintain a website to allow pa-
tients to compare doctors, and says it intends
to one day include on the site patient satis-
faction surveys for individual doctors.
Im all for patients making informed deci-
sions about which doctors to turn to, but
these report cards might turn out to be high-
ly misleading.
Consider this, from my own experience.
Earlier in my career as a doctor, I was affil-
iated with Loma Linda Universitys medical
school. In many ways, I had a dream prac-
tice. Patients tended to be true partners in
health. They typically cared about their
health, ate lots of vegetables, actually used
their gym memberships and came in for
yearly checkups bearing pictures of their
puppies and new grandchildren. Of course
my patients sometimes had serious health
problems, but when that was the case, most
of them did everything they could to get
better, following treatment instructions and
adjusting diets or lifestyles as advised.
Im now treating a very different pop-
ulation of patients. Most of them are poor
enough to qualify for Medi-Cal, but even
though they receive state insurance, many
dont bother to seek care until they are very
ill. Few of my patients exercise regularly, and
substance abuse is common. The problems
they bring to the examining room are com-
plex, and unraveling them often puts me far
behind schedule.
Treating this kind of patient can be frus-
trating because many dont comply with
medical advice. I had one patient who
wouldnt do his rehabilitation exercises after
a knee replacement and so is now wheel-
chair-bound. As might be expected, the med-
ical outcomes for these patients arent nearly
as positive as in my previous practice.
High-risk patients of the sort I now see
have a great need for health care. Yet I know
that treating them will have an effect on my
grades in the new physician report cards,
which dont take the nature of the patients
into account.
Not long ago, I saw a middle-aged woman
who had clearly once been beautiful. But
when she walked into my office, she looked
about nine months pregnant. Her belly was
filled with fluid that her liver could not proc-
ess: It was too damaged from years of drug
use, untreated infection and alcohol abuse.
She also had diabetes and high blood pres-
sure.
My colleagues and I spent a lot of time on
her case. We tried to not only educate her
about how to take care of herself but also to
bring her family into the treatment picture.
But she eventually drifted off, not showing
up for appointments or responding to phone
calls and letters.
The likelihood of preventable complica-
tions with such a patient are huge. And I
shudder to think how she would fill out a
patient satisfaction survey. Patients who
dont want to hear what a doctor has to say
are rarely happy with their care.
Late last year, Marilyn Tavenner, the act-
ing administrator of the Centers for Medi-
care & Medicaid Services, touted the release
of information about doctors as an action
that would make our health-care system
more transparent and result in increased
competition, accountability, quality and
lower cost.
But Im predicting another outcome as
well: that doctors will be increasingly reluc-
tant to take on the toughest patients.
According to the American Medical Asso-
ciation, we are facing a scarcity of physician
specialists, and this scarcity will be exacer-
bated as 32 million more people seek med-
ical care under the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act. Physicians will have to
make choices about whom they provide care
to, and I worry that the elderly, the noncom-
pliant and those with multiple medical prob-
lems will be unable to find good doctors.
Why risk a bad report card that could scare
away patients?
Transparency is often a good thing. But
the federal government must consider the
possibility that physician report cards could
dangerously reduce health care to those who
need it most.
Physician report cards could harm care for the neediest

High-risk patients of the sort I now see
have a great need for health care. Yet I
know that treating them will have an
effect on my grades in the new
physician report cards, which dont take
the nature of the patients into account.
NEWT GINGRICH clearly
is winning the anybody-but-
Mitt-Romney primary. He
even pledged recently to
fight until the GOP conven-
tion.
But heres my question
for those people rallying behind Newt: How
can you reassure voters, especially inde-
pendents, that hes not the New Nixon?
Newt matches up with the former president
in ways that could scare off swing voters.
The outsider/insider: Like Richard Nix-
on, Gingrich is a Washington figure. And
like Nixon, he doesnt want you to know
that.
Nixon rose by going to the House, the
Senate, the vice presidency and then the
presidency. He wasnt a local or state poli-
tician. He long trafficked in the Washington
game before winning the presidency.
Gingrichs path is similar. He gained his
power through his congressional base. He
even became speaker of the House, which is
as insider a job as there is.
But neither man wanted anyone to think
of him that way. They portrayed themselves
as outsiders.
Nixon loved to distinguish himself from
the Georgetown set. He saw himself as
middle America, even though he spent his
career in rarefied precincts.
Gingrich, likewise, sees himself repre-
senting the forgotten middle class. But he
has made millions from his status as a
Washington player.
Using resentment: As part of his Silent
Majority appeal, Nixon resented elites and
put targets on his opponents. He started
early, notoriously redbaiting those he
wanted others to think of as soft on commu-
nism.
Later, he had numerous targets: the
wealthy, intellectuals and the media, chief
among them. All along, he knew how to stir
up resentment to help his cause. Nixon was
well-off and smart, but he used class envy
and anti-intellectualism to win hardhat
workers.
Newt has his own stable of elites and
targets. And, starting early, he used them to
advance himself.
The New York Times recently reported
how Gingrich first went after the Congres-
sional Black Caucus founder when the
Georgia Republican got to Congress in
1979. After that, he gave floor speeches that
he knew C-SPAN would cover to make his
case against what he considered corrupt
Democratic machines. He talked about a
civil war against Democrats and soon
brought Fort Worth Democrat Jim Wright
down as speaker of the House.
Today, liberal interest groups, journalists
and, most recently, venture capitalists are
among those he seethes about. His willing-
ness to go after Bain Capital is especially
surprising. Newt knows venture capitalists
helped drive economic growth during the
1990s, but they are now props to further his
cause.
The stability issue: A friend of mine who
once worked for Nixon described him as
being the classic case of a person who didnt
have all his bolts tied on tightly enough. His
need for power. His unease in social sit-
uations. His manipulative streaks. They
overshadowed that Nixon could be a for-
ward-looking leader. He not only opened up
the pathway to China, he pioneered revenue
sharing to help cities and pushed for minor-
ity business opportunities.
Newt might not have the same foibles,
but even Republicans describe him as men-
tally undisciplined. Bob Dole recently crit-
icized Newt for having an idea a minute as
speaker, most of which Dole considered off
the wall. And numerous Republicans, such
as former House Minority Leader Bob Mi-
chel, have wrestled with Newts outsize
personality. It can overshadow his attri-
butes, such as his ability to conceptualize
and see several steps ahead.
Some Newt supporters get his short-
comings. But they better do more than
forgive him. They need to explain to other
voters why they wont be as damaging to
him and the GOP as Richard Nixons were
to his presidency and party.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
P
RESIDENT Barack
Obama has not de-
clared war on the Ro-
man Catholic
Church, no matter what the
faithful might be hearing in
church.
Last month, the U.S. De-
partment of Health and Hu-
man Services said that start-
ing in about 18 months, many
faith-based employers will
have to provide health insur-
ance coverage that includes
reproductive services.
U.S. Catholic bishops and
right-wing lobbies that seek to
drive a wedge between Oba-
ma and liberal Catholic voters
calledthe rulinganattackon
religious freedom that turns
the faithful into second-class
citizens. Catholic leaders told
churchgoers that we cannot
we will not comply with this
unjust law.
Therulingrequires that reli-
gious groups that run institu-
tions employing people of dif-
ferent faiths and serving the
general public must offer med-
ical coverage that includes
free birth control. The com-
promise affects most church-
run hospitals, universities and
charitable groups.
Most faith-based workplac-
es houses of worship,
schools and colleges where
the employees and the people
served share the faith of their
employers are exempt from
the regulation. No institution
is required to perform, or pay
for, abortions.
HHS asked the nonpartisan
Institute of Medicine to rec-
ommend preventive services
for women that should be in-
cluded in regulations arising
from the health care reform
law. The institutes report, is-
sued last August, made nine
recommendations, including
breast-feeding and domestic
violence support and counsel-
ing, as well as the controver-
sial provision about contra-
ceptive services.
Twenty-eight states have
contraceptive-equity laws,
which require birth control
coverage for plans that cover
prescription drugs. In these
states, the Catholic Church
has figured out howto comply
with the law without damage
to its religious conscience. Ge-
orgetown University in Wash-
ington, D.C., offers two health
insurance options, including a
group plan that includes re-
productive services.

IMPERIAL
regimes can
crack when
they are dri-
ven out of
their major
foreign out-
posts. The fall
of the Berlin Wall did not just
signal the liberation of Eastern
Europe from Moscow. It prefig-
ured the collapse of the Soviet
Union itself just two years later.
The fall of Bashar al-Assads
Syria could be similarly omi-
nous for Iran. The alliance with
Syria is the centerpiece of
Irans expanding sphere of
influence, a mini-Comintern
that includes such clients as
Iranian armed and directed
Hezbollah, now the dominant
power in Lebanon; and Hamas,
which controls Gaza and
threatens to take the rest of
Palestine (the West Bank) from
a feeble Fatah.
Additionally, Iran exerts
growing pressure on Afghan-
istan to the east and growing
influence in Iraq to the west.
Tehran even has extended its
horizon to Latin America, as
symbolized by President Mah-
moud Ahmadinejads solidarity
tour through Venezuela, Ecua-
dor, Nicaragua and Cuba.
Of all these clients, Syria is
the most important. Its the
only Arab state openly allied
with non-Arab Iran. This is
significant because the Arabs
see the Persians as having had
centuries-old designs to dom-
inate the Middle East.
But the Arab-Iranian divide
is not just national/ethnic. It is
sectarian. The Arabs are over-
whelmingly Sunni. Iran is Shi-
ite. The Arab states fear Shiite
Iran infiltrating the Sunni
homeland through (apart from
Iraq) Hezbollah in Lebanon,
and through Syria, run by As-
sads Alawites, a heterodox
offshoot of Shiism.
Which is why the fate of the
Assad regime is geopolitically
crucial. It is, of course, highly
significant for reasons of de-
mocracy and human rights as
well. Syrian Baathism, while
not as capricious and deranged
as the Saddam Hussein variant,
runs a ruthless police state that
once killed 20,000 in Hama,
and has killed more than 5,400
during the current uprising.
Human rights decency is
reason enough to do every-
thing we can to bring down
Assad. But strategic opportuni-
ty compounds the urgency.
With its archipelago of clients
anchored by Syria, Iran is today
the greatest regional threat to
Saudi Arabia and the Gulf
states terrified of Iranian nucle-
ar hegemony; to traditional
regimes menaced by Iranian
jihadist subversion; to Israel,
which the Islamic republic has
pledged to annihilate; to Amer-
ica and the West, whom the
mullahs have vowed to drive
from the region.
No surprise that the Arab
League, many of whose mem-
bers are no tenderhearted
humanitarians, is pressing hard
for Assads departure. His fall
would deprive Iran of an intra-
Arab staging area and sever its
corridor to the Mediterranean.
Syria would return to the Sunni
fold. Hezbollah, Tehrans agent
in Lebanon, could be next,
withering on the vine without
Syrian support and Iranian
materiel. And Hamas would
revert to Egyptian patronage.
At the end of this causal
chain, Iran, shorn of key allies
and already reeling from eco-
nomic sanctions over its nucle-
ar program, would be thrown
back on its heels. The mullahs
already are shaky enough to be
making near-suicidal threats of
blocking the Strait of Hormuz.
The population they put down
in the 2009 Green Revolution is
still seething. The regime is
particularly reviled by the
young. And its increasing at-
tempts to shore up Assad fi-
nancially and militarily have
only compounded anti-Iranian
feeling in the region.
The alignment of forces
suggests a unique opportunity
for the West to help finish the
job.
How? First, a total boycott of
Syria, beyond just oil and in-
cluding a full arms embargo.
Second, a flood of aid to the
resistance (through Turkey,
which harbors both rebel mili-
tias and the political opposi-
tion, or directly and clandes-
tinely into Syria). Third, a
Security Council resolution
calling for the removal of the
Assad regime. Russia, Assads
last major outside ally, should
be forced to either accede or
incur the wrath of the Arab
states with a veto.
Force the issue. Make clear
American solidarity with the
Arab League against a hege-
monic Iran and its tottering
Syrian client. In diplomacy, one
often has to choose between
human rights and strategic
advantage. This is a rare case
where we can advance both
so long as we do not compro-
mise with Russia or relent until
Assad falls.
West has the power
to topple Assad regime

ANOTHER VIEW
A photograph by Pete G. Wilcox
and words by Mark E. Jones
THERE IS a
new kind of
ignorance afoot
in the world,
one that results
from over-
consumption of
information
rather than from a lack of access
to it.
Its fashionable to blame cable
television and the Internet for
this new ignorance. And its true
that if you spend much time
watching cable news and surfing
the Internet, youll come away
thinking that many information
providers are more interested in
fanning fear and feeding peoples
preconceived notions than they
are at communicating truth.
But we really should blame
ourselves for the content were
seeing. Why? Because what
shows up on the Internet and
cable television is shaped by
what we choose to click on and
watch, and were making terrible
choices.
Our news is largely provided
by conglomerates focused on the
bottom line, and they have fig-
ured out that shrill opinions and
celebrity hype draw more eyes
than facts and substance. To the
handful of billion-dollar corpora-
tions providing much of our
news, journalistic integrity
equals market inefficiency. Fear,
opinion and gossip are less ex-
pensive to manufacture and
draw bigger audiences than the
truth.
Seeking, processing and com-
municating information is some-
thing humans are hard-wired to
do, and that has been no less an
evolutionary advantage than
opposable thumbs. Forming
communities and sharing in-
telligence in a network have
been keys to human survival and
evolution over eons. But our
brains didnt evolve the way they
did in order to process bland
facts and false conspiracies.
Its a lot like our food diets.
They too have changed in the
last half-century, and for much
the same reason. We are hard-
wired to crave salt, sugar and
fat, all of which were hard to
come by in earlier eras. But in
this age of plenty, at least in
developed nations, industri-
alized food suppliers have filled
supermarket aisles with deli-
cious but unhealthful concoc-
tions aimed at satisfying those
cravings. Why? Because we buy
them.
In the case of information,
were wired to seek out and
retain facts that are essential to
our survival. Instead, were load-
ing up on false information, and
that can trigger fear instincts
unnecessarily.
In Washington, fear born of
ignorance is often on display.
Not long ago, there was the guy
who stood in front of the White
House with a sign reading Keep
Your Government Hands Off My
Medicare, and another in front
of the recently closed Walter
Reed Army Medical Center
whose sign read Enlist Here to
Die for Halliburton. Neither
sentiment makes much sense,
but both the protesters probably
believed they were highly in-
formed.
The problem is that these
days you can feast on informa-
tion as never before, and you can
do it without leaving the living
room couch. But consuming too
much of the wrong kind of in-
formation can lead to a kind of
information obesity as danger-
ous as that caused by too much
of the wrong kinds of food.
And just as its not General
Mills fault that your child is
eating sugary, cereal for break-
fast, neither can we blame the
content providers who bring us
Glenn Beck, Keith Olbermann,
Kim Kardashian and Lindsay
Lohan. They are giving us those
things because we consume
them.
There is a way to fix this.
It starts with each of us build-
ing a healthy information diet
for ourselves. We eat a lot of
junk food because it is cheap and
tastes good and we havent
trained our taste buds differ-
ently. Well, your information
diet is as important to your
general well-being as your food
diet. Building a healthy informa-
tion diet can give you more
time, strengthen your social
relationships and reduce your
stress levels.
When you are on the comput-
er, remember that clicks have
consequences for yourself and
for the rest of us.
Each time you click on a sala-
cious headline on the Huffington
Post, you are not only consum-
ing junk information you dont
need (how much more do you
really need to read about J-Lo?),
but also youre all but ensuring
that the Huffington Post will
continue to push that kind of
story. Every search you make on
Google is analyzed by news
editors looking to see which
topics are trending as they
choose what stories to assign
and put on their websites.
Your habits have immense
power. A movement led by a few
dozen activists and a few high-
end consumers led Wal-Mart to
significantly reduce the salt, fat
and sugar content in the foods it
sells. You can do the same thing
for the media.
Lets make the market chase
us. Consume deliberately, con-
sume locally, consume close to
the original source, consume
less and produce more. Seek
facts, not comfort. And not all
the time. Well all be better off.
We need to curb our cravings for junk info

Animal hospital
earns high praise
S
everal weeks ago my wife
Barbara and I said goodbye
to Shadow, our beautiful
and loyal dog that loved us
unconditionally.
Shadow was 15 years old
and in failing health. When
Shadows health took a bad
turn we called our veterin-
arian who, as it turns out, was
unavailable. Together with my
grandsons Adam and Evan
Greenberg, we took Shadow
to the Plains Animal Hospital,
and we were greeted by a very
kind receptionist. Even
though these hospital employ-
ees had no familiarity with
Shadow, they treated her like
a queen.
After a thorough exam-
ination, the medical team
patiently explained our op-
tions. With the heaviest of
hearts, I knew the decision
that had to be made. Suffice to
say, it was extremely emotion-
al.
Several days later we re-
ceived a beautiful card from
the Plains Animal Hospital
that touched us greatly.
Thank you to the Plains
Animal Hospital team for your
professionalism and compas-
sion throughout this difficult
process and for the grace and
dignity in your care of our
beloved Shadow.

Paterno column
B
ill OBoyles column on
Joe Paterno was a wonder-
ful piece of writing (Pa-
terno: Penn State to the end,
Jan. 23). It was the best local-
ly, as well as anything I saw
nationally.
I believe Joes firing was a
power play by the executive
committee of the universitys
board of trustees after Joe
announced his retirement. No
announcement probably no
firing. The board looks small
and mean.
We all have to wait to see
how it turns out. But whatev-
er the case, no one will excuse
the boards behavior. If any-
thing, the board created a
martyr and now does not
know what to do.
But The Times Leaders Bill
OBoyle did. Wonderful piece
of writing.

Pipeline benefits
are overstated
O
pponents of President
Obamas decision to delay
construction of the Keys-
tone XL Pipeline are sadly
misinformed. This project will
in no way reduce our depend-
ence on foreign oil, nor will it
reduce our gasoline prices.
It will, in fact, have the
opposite effect: Keystone XL is
an export pipeline. Gulf Coast
refiners plan to refine the
cheap Canadian crude sup-
plied by the pipeline into
diesel and other products for
export to Europe and Latin
America. Proceeds from these
exports are earned tax-free.
Much of the fuel refined from
the pipelines heavy crude oil
will never reach U.S. drivers
tanks.
As the Canadian oil supply
is reduced, our price at the
pump will rise significantly.
The job-creation aspect of
the project also is vastly over-
stated. In 2008, TransCanadas
presidential permit applica-
tion for Keystone XL to the
State Department indicated a
peak workforce of fewer than
4,000 construction personnel
would be required to build the
pipeline. The majority of these
jobs would be temporary.
From a safety viewpoint, a
rupture in the pipeline could
cause a BP-style oil spill in
Americas heartland, over the
source of fresh drinking water
for 2 million people.
NASAs top climate scientist
says that fully developing the
tar sands in Canada would
mean essentially game over
for the climate.
I applaud Obamas decision
to place environmental safety
over political popularity. He
demonstrates a trait sadly
lacking in others competing
for his office.

Hold all primaries
on the same day
A
recent column in The
Times Leader suggests
boosting election turnout
by moving Election Day to a
weekend.
May I suggest two more
pressing reforms of our elec-
tion system?
The presidential election
season begins with the Iowa
party caucuses and the New
Hampshire primary election,
both of which are held in Janu-
ary. By the time primary elec-
tions are held in more pop-
ulous states, many candidates
already have dropped out and
the primaries become irrele-
vant in those states. Our presi-
dential candidates are deter-
mined by two states that prob-
ably have more cows than
people.
There should be a federal
law requiring all of the pri-
mary elections and party cau-
cuses to be held on the same
date. A date in May or June
would be most appropriate, as
the weather is pleasant during
those months, and there is
still plenty of time for the
winning candidates to prepare
for the party conventions in
late summer and the general
election in November.
In presidential elections,
coverage of the election re-
turns in the national media
should be blacked out until
the polls close on the West
Coast. California is our most
populous state and the elec-
tion can easily be influenced
by TV talking heads in New
York projecting a winner
based on returns from cities in
the East. The West Coast
voters might take a why
bother? attitude after seeing
the TV coverage.

REVELATIONS FROM the 2008-09
public corruption scandals prompted
Luzerne County voters to reject the
traditional three-commissioner form of
government in favor of a new home rule
charter that recently took effect, dra-
matically changing the face of county
government.
The Pennsylvania Economy League
and Mohr Management Resources were
proud to work with the charter study
and transition committees to help craft
this new government.
The changes reduce the political
clout and incentive for corruption of
the newly elected part-time County
Council, streamline county adminis-
tration and impose a higher professional
and ethical standard on both leadership
and rank-and-file employees. More im-
portant, it will save more than $117,000
immediately in administration costs.
The elimination of eight row offices,
their consolidation into the overall
county administration, and the appoint-
ment of professional division directors
headline these savings while also im-
proving services.
In addition, $85,000 will be saved in
2014 when three more row offices are
abolished. This savings does not include
the benefits for those positions, which
could increase the total savings by an-
other 35 percent, nor does it include the
economies of scale and improved effi-
ciency that will be created when these
offices are consolidated through co-
location.
The consolidation of the judicial
services branches and the appointment
of a professionally accredited county
manager to oversee day-to-day oper-
ations will enable the County Council to
pursue further efficiencies.
While many of the changes already
have been reported in the news media,
there are a few we would like to high-
light because we believe they are keys
to decreasing costs and increasing ac-
countability.
First, the elimination of three full-
time commissioners, who held both
administrative and legislative powers,
and their replacement by an 11-member
County Council, improves account-
ability by increasing representation for
all residents. Since each of the part-time
council members has strictly legislative
powers and will be paid only $8,000 a
year, the opportunities for political
cronyism decrease and the setup creates
more dependence on true professional-
ism of all county employees.
A new division of Budget and Finance
consolidates the responsibilities of the
commissioners Budget and Finance
Office, the county treasurer and the
non-auditing portion of the controllers
functions, creating economies of scale.
Further consolidation of several judi-
cial service and records responsibilities
into one division allows the county
manager and council to seriously con-
sider staffing options that bring Lu-
zerne more into line with similar home
rule counties, such as Lehigh and
Northampton. In a cursory comparison
study conducted by Mohr Management
Resources, current staffing of the Lu-
zerne County Clerk of Courts Office is
about 21 percent, and Register of Wills
office 60 percent, greater than North-
ampton County.
A new Division of Law eliminates the
individual solicitors for the row officers,
Convention and Visitors Bureau and
Assessment Board of Appeals. This
centralized Solicitors Office will have
one full-time county solicitor and part-
time attorneys to take over the work
performed by the politically appointed
solicitors for the offices named above.
They also will assume responsibility for
all internal legal work and, in some
cases, reduce the dependence on and
cost of outside legal fees.
Because the 2012 budget prepared
and approved by the outgoing commis-
sioners did not reflect these consoli-
dations, the savings have been blended
into this years general fund budget.
The savings are not obvious, but they
are there. We believe they will grow as
the new government finds its feet and
begins to run this new path. While the
budget process of cost-cutting is painful,
it is necessary if the county is to contin-
ue to realize savings from the required
restructuring.
Additionally, home rule brings an
opportunity to improve the profession-
alism of management and replace pa-
tronage hiring with a merit-based per-
sonnel system. These elements should
increase the quality of service provided
to the countys residents and add value
to each tax dollar already being collect-
ed.
There are several other important
aspects of this momentous change that
must be mentioned. First, the transition
did not end on Jan. 2, 2012; it really just
began. Second, the changes make it
easier and more imperative for
citizens to become involved in county
government to ensure the mistakes of
the past are not repeated. Finally, there
is still a lot of work left to do.
Staffing needs must continue to be
evaluated; the new leadership must
work to fulfill the promise of profession-
alism and cost-savings. And public sup-
port remains necessary to ultimately
transform Luzerne County into a mod-
ern, professional government.
We believe there are several impor-
tant lessons from this exercise that
extend far beyond county lines. In an
era when personal incomes are re-
strained by economic factors that are
often beyond individual control, elected
and appointed leaders must be attentive
to new ways to deliver necessary gov-
ernment services at all levels.
With the work of the new manager
and council and the support of its
residents these changes will make
Luzerne County a positive model for
responsible leaders across the state as
they look for ways to streamline their
own governments while preserving the
level of service expected by everyone.
Home rule brings accountability, more efficiency to Luzerne County

Writer disputes
hunting benefits
I
disagree with Fred Murrays
letter (Sportsmen add
much to economy, Jan. 8).
The Pennsylvania Game
Commission and the Penn-
sylvania Fish and Boat Com-
mission both have responsib-
ilities far beyond those of
hunting, trapping and fishing.
The Fish and Boat Commis-
sion has oversight of all boats
and watercraft (jet skis, etc.),
as well as responsibility for all
fish, amphibians and reptiles.
Even if anglers were to be-
come extinct statewide, there
would be more than enough
for that commission to handle.
The same is true of the
Game Commission, which is
going to have to reform itself
whether it wants to or not, as
the decline in sport hunting is
continuing. Hunters make up
single-digit percentages of
Pennsylvanians.
The vast majority of ATVs,
four-wheelers and items that
Murray cites are not used
exclusively for hunting. On
balance, the end of hunting
will bring about an economic
rise when all damages associ-
ated with the activity, includ-
ing property damage, car
collisions, etc., are alleviated.
Silvie Pomicter
Chinchilla
Councilman offers
options for budget
T
hose of us on Luzerne
County Council are facing
our first major challenge in
amending the 2012 budget
that was put forth by the pre-
vious county commissioners.
Unfortunately some council
members feel that the best
alternative is to increase taxes
by 2 percent. I emphatically
disagree and will not support
it!
I believe there are better
options.
I am requesting that the
following options be offered
for councils consideration.
Some are one-time streams of
revenue while others are long-
term. These options will allow
us to balance this budget with
no tax increase and allow the
new council manager the time
and means to properly transi-
tion our government.
I suggest:
1. Using $1.4 million in
unspent bond proceeds bor-
rowed in 2008 as a revenue
source to pay down county
debt.
2. Utilize monetization
(selling liens on 2011 delin-
quent taxes for an upfront
payment); this revenue equa-
tes to approximately $1.5
million.
3. Eliminate health benefits
for part-time, non-union at-
torneys. There are about 40
part-time, non-union attorneys
on the payroll, and they all are
eligible for benefits, including
family coverage. Savings of
approximately $400,000.
4. Increase the health premi-
um co-pay for non-union em-
ployees from10 percent to 20
percent. Savings: $220,559.
5. Eliminate 10 days of man-
agement wages: One day of
management wages (i.e. non-
bargaining units) equates to
$39,070; hence, 10 days equa-
tes to $390,700 in annual
savings.
6. As stated in the PFM
five-year financial plan, allo-
cate $100,000 from the liquid
fuel fund.
7. Staff layoffs of approxi-
mately 60 people. Equates to
approximately $3 million.
I understand that some of
these options might not be
popular, but tough times
require tough decisions. The
budget options that I propose
are not only meant to protect
jobs, but also to protect the
county services and to give
our new form of government
the time to properly imple-
ment long-term, effective
solutions.
Because of time constraints
in approving this budget by
Feb. 15, we do not have ade-
quate time to negotiate saving
options with the unions. How-
ever, I do believe that we can
work with the unions in the
upcoming year to find ways
for future savings.

Pool area talent
to do most good
T
here is a need for talent
sourcing throughout this
region.
There clearly is much talent
here; however, not all the
talent has appeared during the
many crises that have oc-
curred nor does it appear
during normal times at the
rate and pace required.
Think about the hundreds
of boards of nonprofit orga-
nizations that provide needed
services across the Wyoming
Valley and its environs. The
region needs even more volun-
teers to lend their skills to
raising the level of expertise
that nonprofits offer to their
clients. There are many ways
that this can happen.
Leadership Wilkes-Barre is
one source for adding value to
the role that nonprofits play,
since it trains and provides
leadership skills to potential
volunteers.
Additionally, there are tal-
ent sources that can add sig-
nificant value to the overall
quality of life of the regions
families. For example, if you
added all the students who
attend colleges in Luzerne
County, there is a gold mine
of talent. Add collegiate facul-
ty to this list, and the opportu-
nity exists to tap into tremen-
dous resources for the collec-
tive benefit of community life.
Add the role that high
school students can play
through their community
service projects. What might
be needed is a coming togeth-
er of all of these groups to
maximize their energy.
A newer volunteer move-
ment is Kids Care Club, a
national organization of 1,800
chapters across the nation.
The program is administered
locally by Jewish Family Ser-
vice of Greater Wilkes-Barre,
which already has reached
thousands of youngsters in the
Valley. KCC has won awards
and is the type of service pro-
gram that should be expanded
across the commonwealth.
Talent sourcing in the Valley
and environs might include
the following:
Create the Da Vinci
Awards, honoring the heroic
contributions of young people
throughout the Greater
Wyoming Valley.
Expand the leadership
programs within Northeastern
Pennsylvania to include a
Pocono-Northeast Leadership
Program that enables those
people who have graduated
from a community leadership
program to undertake a short
version of leadership training
at the regional level.
Establish a youth lead-
ership development program
with Wyoming Valley as the
model to undertake a variety
of projects and services.
Organize a series of busi-
ness development symposi-
ums that highlight and focus
attention on the role of young
people as the future business
leaders of the Valley. This
would supplement some of
the work of existing economic
development agencies but add
value to the role that young
people can and should play in
the business community.
Take initiatives that can,
once and for all, entice young
people to remain in the Valley
and environs after they gradu-
ate high school or a local
college or university. A special
study should be undertaken
regarding ways that this can
be implemented as soon as
possible and utilize techniques
adopted by other regions.
Talent exists across the
region, but the loss of such
talent seems to be a negative
factor in establishing a better
and more productive future.

Paterno lived life
the right way
I
had the pleasure and the
privilege to be a guest in the
Paterno home on occasion.
Coach Joe Paternos youngest
son, Scott, and I attended law
school together and were
good friends.
The Sunday night after
Penn State had beaten Ohio
State in 1997, the coach came
home and split a pizza with
Scott and me. We entered into
a conversation about Homers
Iliad. Coach Paterno made a
teachers point that Achilles
true flaw was not the unpro-
tected spot on his heel where
his mortal vulnerability lie,
but in the very character of
the man and his deeds.
Achilles comeuppance was
due to his excessive pride, his
disregard for others, his need
for vengeance and his leading
a path not for love but for
glory.
Achilles failed because he
cared only that his name be
remembered. Achilles wor-
shiped his own glorification
alone.
When the Jerry Sandusky
story broke the media vultures
and the self-aggrandizing
television pundits made case
that Coach Paternos inade-
quate response was some
Nixonian desire to protect his
name and the Penn State
brand.
Coach Paterno died wishing
he had done more. But let it
not be said of him that he was
common.
He spent 60 years in service
to a place, its people and the
young men who rotated
through on four- to five-year
cycles. He was teacher, a
coach and a mentor, and in a
world of ever-receding values
he made certain that his
young men went to class, that
they were prepared for life
after the cheers and that he
gave the full measure of his
devotion to other people. He
was paid far less than the
hundreds who have achieved
none of what he had, includ-
ing the man who replaces him
on the sideline next season.
For those of us who loved
Coach Paterno and see him to
his rest, he was simply a good
and decent man. He took the
young and made them men,
held the frosh and gave them a
path to degrees of use and of a
whole life education, and
every Saturday of autumn for
60 years he gave us pleasure,
joy and the satisfaction of
knowing that the team we
cheered for was tough and
that that program, Penn State,
did it the right way.

Local control
not way to go
U
ntil Pennsylvanias Su-
preme Court opened the
door to local zoning of
natural gas development,
Pennsylvania law protected
private property rights with
vigor that was practically
unmatched in the nation.
Unfortunately for todays
Marcellus lease holders and
royalty owners, those rights
have been set aside, and an
increasing number of local
governments rallying under
the banner of local control
are adopting ordinances that
severely curtail landowners
ability to allow the harvest of
the minerals they own and
benefit from the royalties
theyd receive.
On the heels of the Supreme
Court decision, weve seen the
arrival of troops of self-anoint-
ed apostles of local control
with draft ordinances theyd
have us adopt as written,
preferably without debate.
They claim that this expan-
sion of local control will give
zoning boards a greater say in
how and where natural gas
resources can be developed in
the state.
What they dont mention is
that Pennsylvania has more
than 2,500 distinct municipal
governments, and that sad-
dling the natural gas industry
with the decisions of 2,500
governments, most of them
made up of part-time elected
officials, would not give citi-
zens local control but rather
would bring natural gas devel-
opment in the commonwealth
to a screeching halt.
Also unmentioned is that
halting natural gas devel-
opment is the real goal of the
folks who come to town with
their ordinances in hand.
Our representatives in Har-
risburg are closing in on a
bipartisan plan to make Penn-
sylvanias Marcellus Shale
regulations the best in the
country. But inches from the
goal line, the zoning issue
continues to keep this historic
bill from final passage.
Unfortunately, for all the
good she continues to do on
Marcellus issues and other
important matters in our
region, state Sen. Lisa Baker
appears to oppose the reason-
able compromise contained in
both the House and Senate
Marcellus proposals, perhaps
unaware that the real aim of
those opposing this common-
sense compromise isnt to give
local residents a say, but to
deny those folks their basic
rights to private property.
Sen. Baker can be reached
at her Dallas office at (570)
675-3931. Call her and let her
know what the real issue is, so
we finally can get this impor-
tant bill passed and protect
private property by placing
modest limits on the ability of
local governments to zone
out drilling.

credits, including the earned in-
come tax credit ($102 billion).
Food stamps ($71.8 billion) and
cash assistance ($6.9 billion)
constitute just 2.2 percent of the
federal budget, but they pack a
bigger wallop when it comes to
public perceptions.
TANF is small compared with
the federal food stamp program,
called the Supplemental Nutri-
tion Assistance Program
(SNAP). As of October, there
were 44.7 million individuals on
food stamps, receiving an aver-
age $133.85 per month.
Evelyn Brodkin, an associate
professor in the School of Social
Service Administration at the U.
of C., said the food stamp pro-
gram has responded to the reces-
sion, acting as a safety net during
high unemployment.
The majority of Americans of
all races who get welfare are the
working poor, who may be under-
employed and not making
enough money to make ends
meet, especially in this econo-
my, Brodkin said.
Michelle Torres, who receives
food stamps for her six children
in the South Chicago neighbor-
hood, sees a lot of myths about
welfare. But as a white woman
who marrieda Hispanic man, she
reflects the reality that most food
stamp recipients are not black.
Torres received TANF and
SNAPbenefits four years ago, but
after a year she left TANF, she
said. She still gets food stamps
because she doesnt earn enough
as an outreach coordinator for
the Illinois Hunger Coalition to
support her family, she said.
Its not a free ride, said
Torres, 42. It pays very little, and
people have to go through a has-
sle just to get it. I get so upset
when people say people on wel-
fare dont want to work. Its not
true. A lot of people want to
work, but there are no jobs.
Thats what politicians should be
talking about.

Denying this decline is beyond
foolish. We cant remain a leader
on the world stage if we accept
domestic conditions that are
moving perilously toward those
of many Third World countries.
And we cant have an honest
discussion about needed reforms
if our heads are stuck in the sand.
Theres an irony here. Its usu-
ally conservatives who decry the
culture of self-esteem: a mental-
ity of entitlement in our schools,
a Lake Wobegon effect that
replaces tough standards and
honest criticismwith grade in-
flation and gold stars for all. But
when it comes to Americas glob-
al stature, its conservatives who
seemmost intent on insisting
that America deserves a gold
star, without regard for actual
achievement.
Despite his State of the Union
rhetoric, Obama surely knows
that the issue of Americas de-
cline is real. He should unapol-
ogetically tell it like it is. If we
dont stop lying to ourselves, the
decline will be both irreversible
and steep.

Award. Day did
not come to Los
Angeles for the
Jan. 13 ceremony. But in an interview
from Carmel, she said she was thrilled
with the award, especially since her last
feature film was the 1968 family comedy
With Six You Get Egg Roll.
Its strange to me (to get the award) at
this point in my life, she said. I cant get
over it.
She said she has always felt comfort-
able in front of the camera, from her de-
but, 1948s Romance on the High Seas,
which was directed by Oscar-winner Mi-
chael Curtiz (Casablanca), through
Egg Roll.
I wanted to be in films, she said. I
wasnt nervous. I just felt, I amhere. I am
supposed to be doing this.
I was so lucky to have such terrific ac-
tors and directors, she added. Every-
thing was different, and everything to me
was just great.
But film historian and writer Cari
Beauchamp, who specializes in the histo-
ry of women on film, and Los Angeles
Times filmcritic KennethTurannotethat
Dayis oftenunderestimatedas anactress.
Peopledont takeher seriously, Turan
said. It was a lifetime battle for Marilyn
Monroe to be taken seriously; that was a
battle she won. Audrey Hepburn was al-
ways takenseriously. People are reluctant
to take Doris Day seriously. Its too bad.
Though she was one of the most pop-
ular stars and recording artists of her day,
a series of films in the late 50s and early
60s in which she played a thirtysometh-
ing virgin, often opposite Rock Hudson,
taggedher withanimagethat still lingers.

car Levant: I knew Doris Day before she

h, love songs. Theyre sappy,
sweet and heard in abun-
dance this time of year, the
month of love. From 80s power
ballads to slow R&B jams, people
find meaning in all types of tunes,
and we set out to found some that
particularly tug at the heart-
strings.
Anisha and David Newton, both
30 and from Wilkes-Barre, have
been married for seven years.
They had no wedding song,
though Anisha was quick to jok-
ingly sing R. Kellys Bump and
Grind, while David cited 112s
Cupid as his favorite.
The song just makes me think
of my wife, he said.
Forty-three-year-old Joseph
Schmid, of Dallas, is a playfully
cynical single man who started to
sing The J. Geils Bands Love
Stinks as he pondered his favor-
ite love songs but finally landed
on a romantic classic.
Come Rain or Come Shine is
a favorite. Many people have cov-
ered that, but the Ray Charles ver-
sion is the best.
Another classic many cited as a
favorite, including Jack Elliott, 53,
of Pittston and Joe Sukaloski, 46,
of Wilkes-Barre, was the late 80s
power ballad by Guns N Roses,
Every Rose Has Its Thorn.
T
heres a place for us. Some-
where, a place for us. Peace
and quiet and open air wait
for us, somewhere. Think
of Maria, the sweet, teenage heroine of West
Side Story, singing those words with an ache
in her heart and in her voice as her Tony lies
dyinginthestreets of NewYork.Thankgood-
ness, love isnt always soanguished. Remem-
ber Elizas exuberance inMy Fair Lady, when
she sings, I could have danced all night and
still have begged for more.

HOROSCOPE
HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Some people will work
themselves half to death
for love and approval. You,
on the other hand, will
work because its what you
do. It brings you satisfac-
tion to be in action. Any
appreciation you gain in
the process is a bonus.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
When you get frustrated
with the people you know,
you consider strangers in
a new light. Todays oppor-
tunity will come from one
of the billions of people
you dont know yet.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Keep the productivity com-
ing, even when the work
youre turning out is less
than thrilling. There is a
learning curve, and youre
not on the other side of it
yet. Eventually, quantity
will breed quality.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Anger is tricky. Sometimes
you can get mad at some-
one for a reason you know
is completely ridiculous,
and yet youre still mad.
Thats when you need a
solo round of vigorous
exercise.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Creative talent isnt just
about playing an instru-
ment or buying decor. Your
creative talent will come
out in interesting ways
now, especially having to
do with conversational wit
and motivating people.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
The strange way things
unfold may cause you to
feel taken aback or emo-
tionally thrown for a loop.
You could find yourself
saying ha-ha when you
want to be saying aha or
vice versa.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Say
whats on your mind, and
dont worry about whether
you sound smart or cool.
Far better to be warm and
genuine than to hang back
in a cloud of aloof self-
consciousness.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Youre a tough judge of
character, especially your
own. What you expect
of yourself is sometimes
unreasonable, though that
doesnt always keep you
from achieving it.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Someone elses experi-
ence and opinion of you is
colored by your enthusi-
asm and level of engage-
ment. This will make the
difference between being
in and being out.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). All the best games
have difficult odds. They
wouldnt appeal to you
otherwise. Persistence in
the face of failure is often
the key to eventual suc-
cess, except in skydiving.
Robert Mankoff
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
You may love the one who
loves you back, but mutu-
ality is not the reason for
your affection. Your pure
love is not based on what
the other person feels or
does for you.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Plan a dinner party. Dont
wait around until you meet
the funniest, smartest
people in the world so that
you can have the best din-
ner party since the dawn
of time. This thinking leads
to a frozen dinner for one.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Feb.
5). You get serious about
love. In games of the
heart, you will play for
keeps. A windfall in the
next 10 weeks will be the
result of your decision to
become better educated
or invest in a creative
dream. Trust your instincts
in March, when people
may be slow to show their
true colors. Properties
get top dollar in July.
Capricorn and Aries peo-
ple adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 40, 2, 12, 49
and 15.

DEAR ABBY
Woman put out with man
who wont fix anything
Dear Abby:
My live-in
boyfriend
is a total
ditz when
it comes to
challenges.
He claims its because hes a
city boy, but I think its just
plain laziness. When some-
thing needs to be repaired,
he looks the other way and
expects me to be Miss Fix-
It. It doesnt matter whats
wrong the car, the washer,
plumbing, even issues with
bills. It becomes my job.
I want him to challenge
himself sometimes. Ive nev-
er known a man who wont
venture into something
thats not familiar. Is there
anything I can say or do to
let him know I want him to
help, or am I stuck with a
male damsel in distress?
Role-Reversal in
Bridgeport, Conn.
Dear Role-Reversal: Im
sure you have told your
boyfriend more than once
that you want him to help. If
he is as lacking in mechani-
cal and organizational ability
as you have implied, perhaps
its better that you be the
fixer than have him destroy
whatever needs to be
repaired.
Because you feel youre
being taken advantage of,
have him call a repairman
and pay for the service calls.
And while youre at it, start
a list of the positive things
he adds to your relationship.
If you come up with a minus
instead of a plus, perhaps
you should throw him back
and keep fishing.
Dear Abby: My niece,
Sara, is considerably
overweight at the age of
9. Im becoming very con-
cerned that shell become
diabetic by the time shes in
her teens. She has a horrible
habit of literally shoveling
food into her mouth as fast
as she can, sometimes with
both hands. Shes obviously
eating too quickly to stop
when shes full. Now that
shes no longer a little girl,
what was a bad habit has
turned into disgusting table
manners.
I live far away, so I
have few opportunities to
suggest that she slow down
or take princess bites. Her
mother is very resentful of
criticism, and shes allow-
ing Sara her bad habit. Im
worried not only about my
nieces poor table manners,
but also her health. Any
suggestions?
Worried Aunt, Tupelo, Miss.
Dear Worried Aunt: Is
Saras mother obese? If so,
the problem may be not only
the speed with which your
niece is eating but also what
kinds of foods shes being
served at home.
Be smart and dont make
this about disgusting table
manners. Because youre
concerned about your nieces
health, talk to BOTH parents
and ask what Saras pediatri-
cian says about her weight
and what possible solutions
have been suggested. But
do not make it appear that
youre criticizing their par-
enting or theyll shut
you out.
Dear Abby: People occa-
sionally tell me I look like a
famous person. They can be
mere acquaintances, people I
dont know or people I dont
want to know. Ive never
seen the resemblance, and
since this famous person is
known for poor judgment
and bad behavior I regard it
as an insult.
People seem shocked
when I respond with an
insult. How do they expect
me to respond? I cant
imagine walking up to
someone and saying, You
look like ... even if it were
true. This is finally starting
to bother me. How should I
respond?
Not Villainous Yet
DEAR NOT VILLAIN-
OUS (YET): People may be
shocked when you answer
them with an insult because
they were not trying to be
insulting. Rather than be-
come defensive, try this:
Smile and say, You know, I
hear that all the time. But I
assure you we are not related
and I dont act like ____
either.

That is just great music,
Elliott said. Good melody,
good lyrics. An all-around
wonderful song.
Sukaloskis wife, Lisa, has a
love for a more contemporary
tune. She called Love of a
Lifetime by Firehouse ro-
mantic.
Kathy Jenkins, 62, of Ha-
nover Township is sweet on
the song Three Times A La-
dy by the Commodores
thanks to her husband, David,
to whom she has been mar-
ried for 31 years.
He cannot carry a tune in
a bucket, but he always sings
that song to me. As well as
Hot Blooded (by Foreigner),
which is just a totally differ-
ent thing, she said with a
laugh.
Kate Mangan, 30, of Exeter
enjoys the song To Make You
Feel My Love, no matter
who takes the vocals for it.
Ive heard that song done
many times, and it seems to
transcend genres: Bob Dylan,
Garth Brooks, Adele. It gets
me every time. Its beautifully
honest and pure.
Etta James At Last is a
classic, and her voice is chill-
ing, Harding resident Mike
Brown, 26, said. Watch
Beyonce sing it during the
Obamas first dance and try
not to tear up. When I did, it
definitely got dusty in the
room for me.
Last First Kiss by Tony
Desare was the song choice of
Mia Mattioli, 25, of Forty
Fort for one simple reason:
Isnt that what we all want?
Rob Miller, 33, of Kingston,
likes the meaning behind Al-
kaline Trios acoustic version
of Nose Over Tail.
I love that it contrasts di-
sasters with love and still
manages to be achingly
sweet. Like a plane crash
that never hits the ground.
I cant think of a statement
that defines love more com-
pletely. It is scary, out of
control, you are certainly
going to be hurt, but you
are having the ride of your
life.
The list of love songs that
hit the right notes is long,
but even more interesting is
hearing about the songs peo-
ple love to hate.
Oh, Achy Breaky Heart,
Joe Culvert, 37, of Wilkes-
Barre said, citing the Billy
Ray Cyrus song. Is that even
a love song? I dont know, but
when I hear love song I think
of that and mullets, thats it.
Jake Massey, 39, of
Swoyersville actually shud-
ders at the thought of Lionel
Richies 1984 hit Hello.
Have you seen the music
video? Creepy.
SONGS

Then again, musical theater
tends to become more interest-
ing when love is unreasonable,
thwarted or doomed, as is the
Phantoms twisted yearning for
Christine. Sing once again with
me our strange duet. My power
over you grows stronger yet.
There are so many different
takes on love some satirical,
some heartfelt and nostalgic,
some a youthful outburst, said
Larry Loh, maestroof the North-
eastern Pennsylvania Philhar-
monic, which will present a con-
cert of love songs fromstage and
screen on Friday and Saturday.
The program encompasses a
great deal of variety, soloists
Doug LaBrecque and Christiane
Noll agreed.
Were all over the place,
touching all kinds of genres,
Noll said in a telephone inter-
view. I guarantee some will be
lushandlyrical witha huge sym-
phonic sound.
Well do a potpourri of
Broadway, LaBrecque said,
with up tempos and ballads
and many, many different
styles. Its a nice thing for audi-
ences to pay attention to.
Theyll get contemporary
Broadway as well as Cole Porter
and Lerner and Loewe, music
fromChicago andJersey Boys
and Phantom of the Opera. Its
a real cross section.
Not every Broadway love
song deals with romantic love,
LaBrecque said, pointing to
Bring Him Home, which is
sung by the character Jean Val-
jean in Les Miserables.
Its sung as a prayer to God
that young Marius will be
brought to safety. Valjean so
loves his daughter, he wants
nothing more than to see Co-
sette and Marius together.
It becomes really poignant
when people think of that song
as they send their children off to
college and to war and pray that
they come home safely, he said.
What I love about this con-
cert, Loh said, is that singing
is one of the best ways toexpress
love. With an orchestra and the
two fine vocalists we have in
Christiane and Doug, well have
an exciting evening of every
kind of music, most of which
will be very familiar to the audi-
ence.

was a virgin, Beauchamp said.
It is a joke, but it sort of isnt,
she said. I talk to people about
her, and they tend to say she
played the girl next door. And
you look at her movies, particu-
larly at the time of those films,
and she wasnt the girl next door.
She always had a backbone. You
lookat films likePillowTalk and
Lover Come Back with Rock
Hudson, and shes an interior
decorator and an ad executive.
She had careers. In Teachers
Pet, shes a journalism profes-
sor.
Turan loves her 1953 musical
Western Calamity Jane be-
cause her energy is kind of irre-
pressible. The one that surprised
me the most, which was a very
unusual filmthat doesnt get seen
a lot, was Love Me or Leave Me.
The 1955 musical drama with
James Cagney revolved around
famed torch singer Ruth Etting
and her turbulent marriage to a
gangster.
Its a provocative film, Turan
said. It almost defines a kind of
thing that you would say: Doris
Day would never do something
like that. But when we say that,
we are thinking of the cliche Do-
ris Day, not thinking of the actual
actress who made interesting
choices and made interesting
films.
Day also counts Love Me or
Leave Me as a career highlight.
I really loved working with
Jim (Cagney), she said. The
wonderful thing is that when you
have someone like Jimtoplayop-
posite, its very exciting. You just
feel so much from a man like
that.
Though Cagney earned an ac-
tor Oscar nomination, the acade-
my overlooked Day.
She followed Love Me or
Leave Me with another dramat-
ic role in The Man Who Knew
Too Much. She said Hitchcock
didnt give her much direction,
but when he did he was always
right.
In discussing her film career,
Day also cited with enthusiasm
the little-known Storm Warn-
ing, from 1951, which marked
her first non-singing role. She
starred opposite Ronald Reagan
and Ginger Rogers in a drama
about the Ku Klux Klan. I die in
the end, she said.
She earned her only Oscar
nomination for Pillow Talk, in
which she played a New York in-
terior decorator who shares her
phone line with a womanizer
(Hudson). The pairing was so
successful, the twoteamedupfor
Lover Come Back and 1964s
Send Me No Flowers, which
marked the first time they played
husband and wife in a movie.
Though Hudson had been an
established star for nearly a dec-
adeandwas anactor Oscar nomi-
nee for 1956s Giant, Day con-
fessedshehadnever heardof him
when they were cast in Pillow
Talk.
Isnt that amazing? she said,
laughing. I thought he was just
starting out. I didnt know about
all the films he had made. I just
loved working with him. We
laughed and laughed.
ThoughDayhadacomplexlife
with four failed marriages her
third husband, Martin Melcher,
squandered most of her fortune
and signed her up for the Doris
Day Show without her knowing
it before his death in1968 Day
is all sweetness and light in the
short phone interview.
My Heart, her first album
since 1994, was released in En-
glandintheearlyfall, whereit en-
tered the charts at No. 9, and in
the United States in December,
where it entered the top 100 on
the Billboard charts.

Think of the West and what comes to
mind are vertiginous peaks, sculpted
tablelands and the infinite vistas of ba-
sin and range country. In other words,
geology.
Westerners live in the shadow of
mountains that are still rising, on the
edge of a continent on the move, over
fault systems that can unleash the pow-
er of nuclear bombs. More so than any
other region of the country, we are de-
fined by geology.
In Rough-Hewn Land, Keith Heyer
Meldahl takes us on a field trip from
San Francisco to the Rocky Mountains,
tracing the genealogy of the landscape.
He seasons the story with historical ac-
counts and a synthesis of evolving ge-
ologic theory, providing a fascinating
guide to the formation of the West.
Geology, Meldahl writes, is
stranger than fiction. How did materi-
al that was once buried miles beneath
the Pacific seabed in the deep ocean
wind up a rock in the Sierra Nevada
with a pine tree poking out of it? How
did the Rockies, far from the classic
mountain-building forces of the conti-
nental edge, get tall enough to leave
hikers gasping for oxygen?
The answers lie in the ancient forces
of plate tectonics, volcanism and up-
heaval that birthed the West and con-
tinue to shape it. If there is an overarch-
ing theme of the book, it is that the re-
gion remains geologically alive.
The Pacific Plate, which includes
coastal SouthernCalifornia, is creeping
to the Northwest at a rate of about 2
inches a year. The Great Basin is
stretching, annually adding a half-inch
to the distance between Reno and Salt
Lake City. In1872, the Sierra Nevada in
an instant lurched 6 feet when one of
the most violent earthquakes inCalifor-
nias recorded history jolted the Owens
Valley, nearly leveling Lone Pine and
killing more than two dozen residents.
Fittingly for a state full of immi-
grants, it turns out that, geologically
speaking, California isnt native either.
Wherever you stand in this state, if
your feet are on bedrock, the odds are
that youre standing on an immigrant,
reeled in by subduction fromthe far re-
aches of the Pacific in the process of as-
sembling California, writes Meldahl, a
geologyprofessor at MiraCostaCollege
in San Diego County.
As thePacific floor spread, fedbylava
welling upfrommidoceanridges, it col-
lided with the westward-creeping
North American plate and plunged un-
der it. Duringthe last 200millionyears,
ancient seabed was scraped off and left
behind, attaching itself to the conti-
nents edge and incrementally building
the Golden State.
As Californians know all too well,
earthquake faults mark plate bounda-
ries. But Meldahl, who cites an exten-
sive bibliography, says the common
perception that the San Andreas fault
marks the edge of the North American
Plate is wrong. Rather, he argues that
there are a series of fault systems, in-
cludingthoseineasternCalifornia, that
are breaking up the continents south-
western corner. The message is clear
the western 500 miles of the south-
western United States are slowly tear-
ing away from the rest of the conti-
nent.
The good news: In 15 million more
years or so, there will be more ocean-
front real estate: Every likely projec-
tionpoints toone conclusion: continen-
tal fragmentation and eventual beach-
front property in the deserts of the
American West.
But all those L.A. haters waiting for
the Southland to sink into the Pacific
are going to be disappointed. Even
when it splits fromthe mainland, coast-
al California will be too buoyant to dis-
appear into the Earths mantle.
Meldahl has a sense of humor. In one
photo, he uses crumpled beer cans to
illustrate his point. He also intertwines
history with geology, explaining the
origins of the gold that launched Cali-
fornias Gold Rush (Hint: It came from
somewhere else) and Nevadas mineral
wealth. Settlers crossing the Sierra had
to dismantle their wagons and hoist
them up the eastern face of the range
because glaciers had chiseled it into a
daunting obstacle.
Informative and highly readable,
Rough-Hewn Land belongs on the
shelf of any Westerner curious about
how that stunning view through the
windshield came to be.

Rough-Hewn Land: A Geologic Jour-
ney From California to the Rocky Moun-
tains by Keith Heyer Meldahl; University
of California Press ($34.95)
A
divorced father with a teenage daughter finds
himself plunged into a suburban nightmare in
Daniel Palmers Helpless. TomHawkins is a
former Navy SEAL who is battling his ex-wife,
Kelly, for visitationrights withhis daughter, Jill,
who wants nothing to do with him. He coaches soccer at the
local high school, and Jill becomes one of the star players
though she would rather have someone else calling the shots.
During a practice session, the police arrive and tell Tom that
his ex-wife has been murdered. He immediately realizes that
hes the No. 1 suspect.
Toms nightmare has
only begun: The police
discover a blog detail-
ing his secret love affair
with one of the players
onthe soccer team. A
search warrant un-
covers tons of teen
pictures, with
several team
members
in provoca-
tive poses. Tom is ar-
rested for distributing
child pornography, and he
has to find out how someone
could frame him so com-
pletely and why. Even
the FBIs forensic computer
analysis team believes hes
guilty.
Aman trying to be the best
father he can be to his reluc-
tant daughter nowalso has to
prove his innocence. Trust
plays a key role in the narra-
tive of this compelling and
deeply puzzling thriller. The
end game is a bit complex, but the jour-
ney is worth the ride. Palmer has a gift
withrealisticcharactersandawriting
style that guarantees a sleepless night.

ONDON No tickets for the 2012 Olympics?
Dont despair: You dont need one to enjoy the
games and the party atmosphere in London this
summer.
Although most sporting events take place in ticketed
Olympic venues, there is plenty tosee anddoelsewhere in
the run-up to and during the games.
From live Olympic screenings
in Hyde Park to world music per-
formances bytheRiver Thames, a
huge list of free and affordable
events promises that visitors
sports fans or not can get a
taste of Olympic excitement with-
out spending a fortune.
The festivities kick off months
ahead of the July 27 start of the
games, as soon as the Olympic
torch arrives in Britain from
Greece in mid-May. Street parties
are expected across the nation to
cheer on the torchbearers, who
will make a 70-day relay through
hundreds of towns before reac-
hing the Olympic Stadiumin east
London.
The parties will pile on in early
June, when Britain celebrates
Queen Elizabeth IIs Diamond Ju-
bilee with spectacular pageants
and a flotilla of hundreds of boats
parading on the Thames.
As for watching the sporting
events themselves, London offers
several ways to take part on the
cheap. The Olympic marathons,
which take place in
early August, and
roadcyclingraces do
not require a ticket
and can be watched
in the streets for free
provided you ar-
rive early to find a
good vantage point.
Both begin and fin-
ishonTheMall, near
Buckingham Palace,
a spectacular back-
drop thats sure to attract thou-
sands of spectators.
Trafalgar Square, Hyde Parkand
Victoria Park are the other key
spots to go to find lively crowds to
watch the games with. Big screens
will be set up with live coverage of
all medal events, and live music
and other entertainment will be
provided for free as well.
One way to set foot inanOlym-
pic venue without a ticket and
even burn some calories is to
visit the Lee Valley White Water
Center, whichis openfor the pub-
lic to canoe and raft until April
and then again after the games.
Thestructure, locatedabout12
miles (19 kilometers) north of
the Olympic Park, will host the
canoe slalom events during the
games, but visitors are welcome
to ride the Olympic-standardrap-
ids before the athletes arrive to
battlefor gold. Bewarnedthat its
not exactly a budget option,
though tickets to a session of
rafting costs $77 (49 pounds).
If that sounds tooextreme, or if
you fancy a break from all that
adrenaline, tourismofficials have
planned dozens of free arts and
culture events to coincide with
the Olympics. The London 2012
Festival the official arts festiv-
al complementing the games
has music, plays, and carnivals
galore, and it promises to let 10
million people attend events for
free.
One of the highlights of the fes-
tival, which opens June 21, is the
River of Music on July 21-22.
Its a weekend of free music per-
formances representing all 205
participating Olympic nations at
iconic landmarks along the
Thames. Expect to see the Amer-
icas represented at the Tower of
London, andmusicians fromAsia
taking the stage
at Battersea Park.
The other ma-
jor arts event of
the year is the
World Shakes-
peare Festival,
which begins on
the Bards birth-
day, April 23. Its
largeprogramfea-
tures a major ex-
hibition at the
British Museumand productions
by companies fromBrazil to Rus-
sia, includinganinterpretationof
Romeo and Juliet set in con-
temporary Iraq. The productions
will be shown across the U.K.,
andsome of the tickets are priced
at as low as $4.70 (3 pounds).
The citys two best-known
churches St. Pauls Cathedral
and Westminster Abbey dont
offer free concerts, but they both
welcome visitors to their even-
songservices. Visitingtoworship
is free of charge (though dona-
tions are welcome), andis aneco-
nomical way to admire the archi-
tecture inside these majestic
buildings. Most churches post
concert and service schedules on
their websites.
West Endmusicals andplays are
generally not cheap, but there are
ways to scrimp. The Royal Opera
House and some theaters some-
times have standing tickets in the
gallery that cost as little as $8 (5
pounds), while most venues also
release returned tickets for a steal
to people willing to line up just be-
fore shows start. Simply visit thea-
ters early on the day of the show
and ask about last-minute options.
Rather be outdoors? London is
afinewalkingcity, andvisitors of-
ten dont realize how easy it is to
skip the bus or the Underground
and simply walk from one attrac-
tion to the next.
Dont miss taking in the south
bank of the Thames, which is al-
ways bustling with activity in the
summer. One of the best ways to
enjoy it is to start at the riverside
Tate Modern, an art museum
housed in an iconic power station.
From there, either walk east
along the river toward Tower
Bridge, or west toward the Na-
tional Theatre, which hosts a se-
ries of free circus, music and oth-
er arts events on its grounds ev-
ery summer. Both walks are suit-
able for families and take under
30 minutes.
Buy lunch at supermarkets or
Borough Market, the citys big-
gest foodmarket, andheadtoone
of Londons many centrally locat-
edparks. Relaxamidthe rose gar-
dens, picturesque ponds and
manicured gardens of Regents
Park, or venture a little farther
out about half an hour by tube
to north Londons vast Hamp-
stead Heath for longer walks,
kite-flyingor evenoutdoor swim-
ming in its ponds.
Once at the heath, hike up a
gentleslopeuptoParliament Hill
for a breathtaking viewof the en-
tire city. Its possibly the best van-
tage point for London and
there are no lines or entrance
fees.

Story by Marianne Tucker Puhalla
Advertising Projects Writer
There is an amazing amount of space and
light in this sprawling brick ranch located
at 13 Fordham Rd. in the popular Oak-
wood Park section of Lain. Conveniently
located, mid-way between Wilkes-Barre and
Scranton, highlights include an amazing
Corian kitchen and a striking sunroom with
a marble tile oor that overlooks a built-in
pool.
What will most amaze you is that nearly
every inch of this house has been reno-
vated in the past ve years resulting in new
ooring, windows, air conditioning, heating
system, electrical service, plumbing, xtures
and dcor.
Listed by Donna Mantione of J.J.
Mantione Appraisal and Realty Group for
$399,700, this home will be open for tours
at an Open House today from 12-2 p.m.
Set on a half acre lot, this property includes
a pool house with a bathroom and changing
stall.
The home features over 3,000 square feet
of space on the main level with an additional
1,000 square feet in the basement.
A covered front porch is inlaid with Italian
marble tile that leads into a marble foyer.
To the right, the unique open layout offers
the living room and dining room together
forming one large open room measuring 435
square feet of space across the front of the
home. The living room portion is 15-by-15
and has new hardwood ooring, white walls
and a cathedral ceiling overhead. A bow
window front has a windowsill covered with
glass tiles accented by solid oak trim.
There is also a front-facing double window
in the adjacent 14-by-15 dining room. The
hardwood continues here and to the rear
into the 15-by-17 family room. A highlight
here is a solid wall of natural stone that
holds a gas replace.
The dining room opens to the rear to a
Florida room that has an inlaid marble oor
that matches the one found in the foyer. This
13-by-15 room has two full walls of windows
overlooking the pool and a door to the right
that leads to the driveway.
Also off the dining room is the amaz-
ing 15-by-15 kitchen. Sure to be a favorite
gathering spot, the kitchen was renovated
just over four years ago and has an amazing
number of custom oak cabinets topped by
white Corian countertops. Among them is
a large, eight-sided island that hosts a Jenn
Air cook top and is lled with cabinets and
drawers. A separate buffet serving counter,
with storage cabinets above, was built with
entertaining in mind. Appliances include a
nearly new Jenn Air wall oven and built-in
microwave and brand new dishwasher.

Berber carpeting with a single window facing rear.
Just across the hall is a powder room, which offers an oak

respectfully, all with new paint, carpeting and windows.
The master bath has a triple vanity with tan countertop
and cabinet, and a tiled tub and shower surround.
The second full bath has a striking vanity with custom
countertop and gray cabinet. It has a tiled tub and shower
surround and a tiled oor. There is a walk-in cedar closet
in the hall and a laundry room nearby with utility sink and
storage cabinets.
The basement hosts a 28-by-32 recreation room. This
amazing space has blue and white ceramic tile walls and
a wood burning replace set into a wall of ceramic brick.
What is sure to catch your eye is the oating wood laminate
oor in a high-gloss piano nish that makes the room feel
even larger than it is.
A three-quarter bath on this level has a blue tile oor and
gray tile walls with a tiled shower surround.
This home has gas forced air heat, public sewer and
water utilities.
