and how much can be cut out of it.
To get a clearer picture of the issue, The

Times Leader askedfor andreceivedalist of
employees by department and job title, with
salaries for 2012.
The list included up to 56 employees ex-
pectedtobe laidoff as part of abudget set for
a final vote Tuesday. The newly elected
council had only until Wednesday to amend
the budget left them by the outgoing three-
person board of commissioners when the
new form of government took hold in Janu-
ary.
While most council members initially
vowed to stick to the no-tax-hike promise of
outgoing commissioners, enough reconsi-
dered after a closer look at numbers and
staffing, opting for the compromise of fewer
layoffs and a 2 percent tax increase.
Several council members said they felt
deeper layoffs without careful scruti-
ny would leave the county unable
to provide needed services.

Countys 2 percent property tax
hike set for final approval by
County Council on Tuesday
could theoretically be avoided
with a 3 percent cut in the salaries of 1,573
employees, according to a Times Leader
analysis.
County government is in transi-
tion from commissioners to an 11-
person council, and the hottest
point of contention
has become the
county budget

Retirement has been anything
but relaxing for Beverly Nachlis
of Kingston. But shes not com-
plaining.
Instead of spending her days
pursuing hobbies or socializing,
she heads to work every morn-

She is part of a growing num-

to the workforce.
I call my life Beverlys book

said the 75-year-old Nachlis.
Gerry Chickeletti, director of
the Bureau of Agings Mature
Worker program in Wilkes-
Barre, said his office is seeing
many people fromage 57 and up
seeking employment.
The average age to lose a job is
about 59, he said, too young to
receive Social Security.
Some people are outsourced
or the company is downsized,
and others retired early only to
find out they cant survive on So-
cial Security, he said.
According to AARPs Public
Policy Institute, the unemploy-
ment rate for those 55 and older
fell to 7 percent in October 2011,

NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. A
state senator and his wife said
Saturday they were attacked
and beaten at a Niagara Falls
casino hotel after the lawmaker
tried to break up an argument
between two men, one of whom
accused him of hating the Indi-
an tribe that owned the resort.
Sen. Mark Grisanti said he
suffered bruised ribs in the Fri-
day night altercation. His wife,
Maria, was more seriously hurt.
She was diagnosed Saturday
morning with a concussion and
possible broken nose.
Its just been horrible, Ma-
ria Grisanti said in a phone call
from her Buffalo home after re-
turning there
from the hospi-
tal Saturday af-
ternoon. She
said that dur-
ing the attack,
she feared for
her life.
The fight
happened following a fundrais-
ing gala for the Seneca Diabetes
Foundation at the Seneca Niag-
ara Casino and Hotel Events
Center. The Grisantis attended
because their daughter was part
of the entertainment for the
night, performing with the Buf-
falo singing act, the Scintas.
They were in a lobby area
around 11:30 p.m. when they en-
countered two men arguing
loudly.
Grisanti said he thought the
men were about to come to
blows, so he asked them to
calm down.
I probably just should have
walked away, he said.
One of the men demanded to
know his name. When he identi-
fied himself, he said the man
hurled a curse word, accused
him of hating the Seneca Na-
tion and punched him in the
chest. Then, Grisanti said, a
woman with the man socked
him in the side of the head.
As the men scuffled, Maria
Grisanti said she was attacked
by two women who appeared to
be with the man fighting with
her husband. She said she was
thrown to the ground and then
punched while one of the wom-
en pulled her hair out and re-
peatedly slammed her head on
the floor.
They were big, too. Maybe
six feet tall, she said.
Niagara Falls police con-
firmed that there had been a
melee at the casino.
In a statement, police Super-
intendent John Chella said de-
tectives were reviewing the sit-
uation and investigating any
and all facts to determine what
exactly took place. He said
that once the facts are deter-
mined the police will decide
what course of action to take,
if any.
Mark Grisanti said the man
who attacked him left the hotel
without being detained. He said
police told him security camera
video of the altercation was in-
conclusive. He said he believed
one of the women had been
charged with disorderly con-
duct, but for a separate fracas
with security guards.
The couple didnt initially
seek medical care, but Maria
Grisanti went to the hospital
Saturday after waking up with a
headache and a bruised and
swollen face.

WILKES-BARRE Eight years after
her daughter went missing, Pauline Bai-
ley expects the worst, but hopes for the
best from someone to come forward
with information to locate her body.
On Saturday night approximately 50
people joined Bailey under the pavilion
in Kirby Park for a candlelight vigil for
Phylicia Thomas on the anniversary of
the day the 22-year-old woman went
missing from her Lake Township home
in 2004.
This is like having a funeral every
year, said Bailey of Nanticoke.
Thomas is presumeddead, the victim
of foul play, and state police are investi-
gating. But the lack of new leads has
frustrated Bailey, who said she believes
people have information about what
happened to her daughter.
We knowpeople knowthings. Some-
bodys just got to come forward, said
Bailey.
She pleaded with them to pick up
the phone and do the right thing by
providing information to investigators
or an anonymous tip line at 570 478-
0290.
Aman state police described as a per-
son of interest in the disappearance of
Thomas and the death of Jennifer Bar-
ziloski, 18, also of Lake Township, com-
mitted suicide in prison in 2005.
Barziloskis skull was found in 2010 in

HMCapital Partners, the private equi-
ty fund that participated in the 2006 pur-
chase of The Times Leader and its affil-
iated publications from McClatchy Co.,
has apparently disposed of its stake in
the company.
On its website, HM Capital lists the
Wilkes-Barre Publishing Co., The Times
Leaders parent company, as a realized
investment and no longer part if its cur-
rent investment portfolio.
Prashant Shitut, president and inter-
im CEO/Impressions Media, the new
name of the multi-media company oper-
ating the newspaper, declined com-
ment.
HMCapital was the controlling share-
holder when former publisher Richard
L. Connor spearheaded the $65 million
deal. At the time, Connor said HM Cap-
ital invested $15 million, a group of local
investors committed $5 million and the
balance came from a $45 million loan
with Goldman Sachs, the Wall Street in-
vestment bank.
In 2009, a group formed by Connor
purchased a company in Portland,
Maine that publishes three daily news-
papers. HMCapital was involved in that
deal and on its website lists MaineToday
Media as a current investment.
Connor stepped down from his posi-
tions as publisher of both companies in
October but said he would continue as
an investor.
When contacted Saturday, Connor
said HM Capital was never the majority
owner, but instead was the managing
partner of the publishing company.
They never had any money invested in
it, he said.
Im still an investor, Connor added.
Recently HM Capital had attempted
to sell MaineToday Media. On Friday,
the papers announced that S. Donald
Sussman, a wealthy financier and Maine
resident, would loan the company $3
million to $4 million, but HM Capital
would retain the majority interest.

KINGSTON It was a different
time when Clayton Karambelas met
her.
The early 1960s were times of
promise. John F. Kennedy was presi-
dent. The space program was shoot-
ing for the moon and families gath-
ered around the dinner table to-
gether.
Downtown Wilkes-Barre was
thriving. Crowds of people flocked to
shop, dine and relax at vibrant busi-
nesses such as Fowler, Dick and
Walker The Boston Store, Kresges,
Woolworths, The Hub, Lazarus,
Isaac Long, The Spa, Percy Browns,
and others.
Clayton Karambelas was a young
man working in his familys business
the Boston Candy Shop, where Ro-
danos Pizza is located on Public
Square.
A few doors away the Bell Tele-
phone company had an office and, as
Karambelas remembers, good-look-
ing women worked there.
One of those workers was Theresa
Pennachioli.
An eye for beauty
Clayton spent so much time in
our office I thought he worked for
Bell, Theresa said.
Hey, there were a lot of nice look-

ATHENS, GREECE
Leaders urge spending cuts
W
arning of a catastrophe that
would leave Greeks subsisting on
food stamps and the country wallowing
in bankruptcy, Greek leaders urged
lawmakers Saturday to pass more pain-
ful spending cuts on the eve of a crucial
vote to qualify for a massive bailout.
In a televised address, Prime Minis-
ter Lucas Papademos defended the
austerity measures, which would earn
the country a $171.6 billion bailout deal
and stave off bankruptcy.
He, like the leaders of parties back-
ing Greeces coalition government
socialist George Papandreou and con-
servative Antonis Samaras as well as
Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos,
a socialist used stark images of a
country under bankruptcy to convince
the public and, more importantly, per-
suade Parliament members debating
the measures to vote for the deal.
The deal will ensure our countrys
future inside the euro. ... A bankruptcy
would lead to uncontrollable economic
chaos and social explosion, Papade-
mos said. He added that a bankruptcy
would lead to Greeks losing their sav-
ings; the state being unable to pay
salaries and pensions; and shortages in
import items such as medicines, fuel
and machinery.
GUATEMALA CITY
Drug legalization proposed
Guatemalan President Otto Perez
Molina said Saturday he will propose
legalizing drugs in Central America in
an upcoming meeting with the regions
leaders.
Perez Molina said in a radio inter-
view that his proposal would include
decriminalizing the transportation of
drugs through the area.
I want to bring this discussion to
the table, he said. It wouldnt be a
crime to transport, to move drugs. It
would all have to be regulated.
Perez Molina, a former army general
who took office last month, didnt give
any other details about his proposal.
CAIRO
Crackdown discussed
The United States top general dis-
cussed an Egyptian crackdown on
Western-funded pro-democracy groups
with the head of the countrys ruling
military council on Saturday, as anoth-
er two foreigners were arrested on
charges of fomenting discontent on the
first anniversary of Hosni Mubaraks
ouster.
The meeting between Chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin
Dempsey and Field Marshal Hussein
Tantawi took place as relations be-
tween the two allies have reached their
lowest level in decades.
Egypt, which regularly blames anti-
military protests on foreign meddling,
has referred 16 American civil society
employees to trial on charges of using
State Department funds to finance
unrest in Egypt.
NICASIO, CALIF.
Light sabers still on hold
Marin Countys planning commis-
sion will hear arguments for and
against allowing filmmaker George
Lucas to expand his movie-making
empire in the quiet hills just north of
San Francisco.
Some Marin County residents are
balking at the planned 270,000-square-
foot digital media production com-
pound on historic farmland known as
Grady Ranch. They worry the facility
will constrain their lifestyle with addi-
tional noise, traffic and harmful envi-
ronmental impacts on the pristine
countryside.
But Lucasfilms officials insist the
compound will be similar to the Sky-
walker Ranch, a sound facility hidden
in hills for 32 years without complaint.

BEIRUT Gunmen assas-
sinated an army general in Da-
mascus Saturday in the first
killing of a high ranking mil-
itary officer in the Syrian cap-
ital since the uprising against
President Bashar Assads re-
gime began in March, the
countrys state-run news agen-
cy said.
The attack could be a sign
that armed members of the op-
position, who have carried out
attacks on the military else-
where in the country, are try-
ing to step up action in the
tightly controlled capital,
which has been relatively quiet
compared to other cities.
SANA news agency reported
that three gunmen opened fire
at Brig. Gen. Issa al-Khouli
Saturday morning as he left
his home in the Damascus
neighborhood of Rukn-Eddine.
Al-Khouli was a doctor and the
chief of a military hospital in
the capital.
Capt. Ammar al-Wawi of the
Free Syrian Army, a rebel
group that wants to bring
down the regime by force, de-
nied involvement in the assas-
sination, which came a day af-
ter two suicide car bombers
struck security compounds in
Aleppo.
Such assassinations are not
uncommon outside Damascus
and army officers have been
killed in the past, mostly in the
restive provinces of Homs and
Idlib.
Violence in other parts of
the country left at least 17 peo-
ple dead as regime troops
pushed into rebel-held neigh-
borhoods in the central city of
Homs and seized parts of the
mountain town of Zabadani,
north of Damascus.
The U.N. estimates that
5,400 people have been killed
in Syria since the uprising be-
gan in March.

INDIANAPOLIS After los-
ing their fight against right-to-
worklegislation, labor organizers
are making a desperate bid on
shop room floors and at union
halls to persuade members to
keep paying their union dues and
avoid crippling labors influence
in Indiana.
Factoryworkers, painters, elec-
tricians and other workers in the
states 179,000-member union-
ized work force
are being called
into meetings
to hear impas-
sioned pitches
on why they
should keep au-
thorizing de-
ductions from
their paychecks
even though
the law means
they no longer have to do so.
Were gonna push thempretty
hard and let them know this is
what our services provide, said
Brett Voorhies, legislative direc-
tor for the United Steelworkers
District 7, which has 45,000 ac-
tive members in Indiana and Illi-
nois. He said he has met with
members of 200 locals in Indiana
since supporters of the pro-busi-
ness legislation begin planning
their push for right-to-work last
year.
But some union members are
clearly tempted to drop out.
Some who are politically conser-
vative resent labors campaign
donations to Democrats; others
may feel they just need the extra
money.

LONDON The Sun newspaper
was fighting to contain the damage af-
ter five employees of Britains biggest-
selling tabloid were arrested Saturday
in an inquiry into the alleged payment
of bribes to police and other officials,
detectives and the newspapers parent
company said.
Rupert Murdochs News Corp. said
police had searched their homes and
the groups London offices, potentially
deepening the scandal over British tab-
loid wrongdoing.
The Suns deputy editor Geoff Web-
ster, picture editor John Edwards, chief
reporter John Kay, chief foreign corre-
spondent Nick Parker and reporter
John Sturgis were those arrested, News
International CEO Tom Mockridge said
in a message emailed to staff.
Executives moved quickly to reject
claims that Murdoch could decide to
close down the newspaper. In July, he
shuttered the 168-year-old News of The
World tabloid amid public outrage
when the extent of its phone hacking of
celebrities, public figures and crime vic-
tims was exposed.

BROWNSVILLE, Texas Max Pons
is already anticipating the anxiety hell
feel when the heavy steel gate shuts be-
hindhim, leavinghis home isolatedona
strip of land between Americas border
fence and the violence raging across the
Rio Grande inMexico.
For the past year, the manager of a
sprawling preserve on the southern tip
of Texas has been comforted by a gap in
the rust-colored fence that gave him a
quickescaperoutenorthincaseof emer-
gency. Now the U.S. government is in-
stallingthefirst gatestofill inthispart of
the fence along the Southwest border.
I think in my head Im going to feel
trapped, said Pons, who lives on the
1,000-acre property of sabal palms, ox-
bowlakes and citrus groves he manages
for the Nature Conservancys South-
most Preserve.
Pons concerns illustrate one of the
complications in the governments 5-
year-old effort to build a secure barrier
along the border that would keep out il-
legal activityfromMexicowithout caus-
ingworseproblems for thepeopleliving
inthe region.
In this lush area, the Rio Grandes
wide floodplain precluded building the
fence right on the border so it was set
back more than a mile in places. The re-
sult is hundreds of properties on the
wrong side of the divide.
Texans on wrong side of border fence growing anxious
Its among complications in 5-year
effort to build barrier without
causing problems for residents.

ing womenthere she was one of
them, Claytonsaid.
One day back in the mid-1960s,
Clayton approached Theresa at
her desk. He told her about the
great lasagna being featured at
the Boston Candy
Shop. Theresa, re-
minding him she
was Italian, said her
mothers lasagna
was the best.
But I did go over
and I tried it, she
said. It was good,
but it wasnt my
mothers.
Theresa said she
was impressed that
Clayton had an air-
plane. Hes a licens-
ed pilot and flewfor
a few small airlines
over the years.
The young couple dated, going
to movies, dinner, dancing. They
were falling inlove.
Well I knew almost from the
get-go that I wanted to marry this
man, Theresa said. But I didnt
want to tell him. I didnt want to
appear anxious, plus I wanted to
be sure.
And the romance went beyond
Clayton, Theresa said. She fell in
love with his family. Theresa
came from an Italian family and
Claytonwas Greek. Bothfamilies
were close something Theresa
really liked.
I could tell the way he related
to his family, she said. I could
tell thiswasareallygoodperson. I
was thinking not just with my
heart, but withmy headtoo.
Sharingthe same goals
ClaytonandTheresaweremar-
ried in June, 1967.
Thecouplewill cele-
brate their 45th
wedding anniver-
sary this year, and
they are still Valen-
tines. We really like
each others compa-
ny, Theresa said.
We have our sepa-
rate activities, but
we always had the
same goals. And we
never brought our
business home at
night.
The couple
moved into their home in King-
ston in 1971, nine months before
the flooding caused by Tropical
Storm Agnes. Theresas mother
lives across the street.
ClaytonandTheresawantedto
havechildren, but wereunableto.
They adopted their community
and have contributed significant-
ly. He still serves his community
in places such as the YMCA, the
Northeastern Pennsylvania Phil-
harmonicandWilkesUniversity
the school he graduated from in
1949. Clayton started a flight
squadron through the Irem Tem-
ple, flyingsickchildrentobigcity
hospitals.
She taught at a modeling agen-
cy and did some television work,
including dance recitals for the
DavidBlightStudio. Theresaisal-
so an accomplished watercolor
painter. They love to travel and
Theresa paints scenes from plac-
es they visit, like Spain, Greece,
France, Africa, NewYorkCityand
elsewhere. The Karambelas
homeinKingstonisadornedwith
her artwork.
Their faith is important. They
belong to the Greek Orthodox
Church in Wilkes-Barre where
theyhavecultivatedmanylasting
friendships.
And they both love to dance.
They go every chance they get,
even though Claytons knees
arent as good as they were when
he was a squashplayer at the YM-
CA.
I wore themout, he said.
Clayton wouldnt reveal his
age. Neither wouldTheresa.
ClaytonsaidTheresawantedto
learnhowto cook Greek food. He
saidshe learnedwell andhe loves
Italiancuisine as well.
Shes a nice, attractive woman
andthenI foundout shewas ater-
rific cook, he said. I think thats
what youcall a nice package.
AValentine everyday
Their advice to people looking
for a Valentine is simple.
Theresa: Make sure you find
someone youre compatible
with.
Clayton: Make sure she can
cook.
Theresa: Dont let the little
problems fester. They can be-
come insurmountable if you let
them.
Clayton: Keep dancing. I ran
into my former barber on Public
Square one day, and I asked him
what he was up to. He told me he
was waiting to die. Thats not me.
We go out, we meet new people
andwe have fun.
And they recommend being a
Valentine every day.
Clayton still sends me cards
and he buys me all sorts of little
toys, she said.
One day Theresa stopped at a
local Hallmark card shop and
used a credit card. The clerk rec-
ognized the last name. She told
me that Clayton must have pur-
chased nearly everything they
sold. Theresa smiled and
laughed.

HARRISBURG Five years
into a state corruption probe
that has brought down some of
Pennsylvanias most powerful
legislators, its unclear whether
the revelations and repercus-
sions of the scandal will make
similar criminal activity less
likely in the future.
The House and Senate have
responded mainly by adopting
written ethics policies and re-
quiring ethics training for law-
makers and staff members. But
more far-reaching reforms have
foundered for lack of support
and the investigation is no long-
er the political stick it once
was.
This week, a pair of proceed-
ings in Dauphin County Court
signaled a shift toward what
could be the final stage of the
attorney generals prosecution
of the illegal use of public re-
sources for
political pur-
poses.
While law-
makers were
preoccupied
with more
pressing
business
scrutinizing
Gov. Tom
Corbetts
budget plan,
approving a
fee on natu-
ral-gas drill-
ing, weighing
their options
on a legisla-
tive redis-
tricting plan
scuttled by
the states
high court
a jury con-
victed long-
time House
Democratic
leader Bill DeWeese of five felo-
nies and a judge sentenced for-
mer House GOP whip Brett
Feese to at least four years in
prison.
Increasingly, the corruption
scandal is viewed more as a ju-
dicial concern than a legislative
one, but it was legislative mis-
conduct that made prosecutors
track record possible.
Twenty-one of the 25 people
arrested all connected to the
House Democratic and Repub-
lican caucuses were convict-
ed or have pleaded guilty. Only
two were acquitted. Charges
against another were dropped.
One defendant, ex-Rep. Stephen
Stetler of York County, is await-
ing trial.
Former House Democratic
whip Mike Veon is serving a six-
to 14-year prison term the
harshest sentence imposed so
far. He faces a separate trial
next week on charges of mis-
using grant money distributed
to a nonprofit he ran in his for-
mer Beaver County district.
The attorney generals office
has not officially closed the in-
vestigation, but more than two
years have passed since the last
arrests. Unfinished business ap-
pears to consist mainly of the
sentencing of three Democratic
defendants, including DeWeese,
and the seven GOP defendants
who pleaded guilty, who in-
clude former House Speaker
John Perzel of Philadelphia.
Hopefully, if nothing else,
that clear line that personal and
political work must be separat-
ed from the peoples business
has been underscored, said
Nils Frederiksen, spokesman for
Attorney General Linda Kelly.
Would-be government reform-
ers had hoped that the investi-
gation launched in 2007 would
be a launch pad for at least
some of statutory changes they
championed, such as legislative
term limits, campaign contribu-
tion limits and a ban on gifts
from lobbyists, but none came
close to winning majority sup-
port.
In 2010, a grand jury that in-
vestigated the corruption scan-
dal issued a scathing report that
labeled the Legislature irre-
trievably broken and called for
sweeping changes, but few of
its proposals were adopted.
By and large, our Legislature
is pro-choice on corruption,
charged Tim Potts, a co-founder
of Democracy Rising PA.
Besides the mandatory train-
ing to help legislators and staff-
ers recognize the line between
public service and electioneer-
ing, the Legislature has done
little to reinforce the lessons of
the scandal.
Officials insist that the expe-
rience has fostered at least sub-
liminal improvements in the
ethical culture at the Capitol.
It served as a reminder of
the need to have clear lines be-
tween legislative and campaign
work, and where those lines
should be, said Erik Arneson,
spokesman for the Republican
majority in the Senate, where
no one has been implicated in
the probe.
The investigation brought
you a House ... that is more
attuned to its job of governing,
said Steve Miskin, spokesman
for the House GOP majority.
Youve narrowed the gray areas
of whats proper and what
isnt.

WASHINGTON President
Barack Obamas opposition is
nowthe divided one.
For three weeks of heated rhet-
oric, Republicans cast the presi-
dents new rule that religious
schools and hospitals must pro-
vide insurance for free birth con-
trol to their employees as an at-
tack on individual liberty. The
contentious issue unitedrecently
fractured Republicans, Catholic
bishops and religious groups
while badly splitting Democrats
who feared an election-year fal-
lout.
Obamas leading GOPrivals
Mitt Romney, RickSantorumand
Newt Gingrich had sensed a
political openingandwere relent-
less in criticizing the president.
Obama caved to the pressure
Friday, announcing a compro-
mise that allows employees at re-
ligious-affiliated institutions to
get free contraception directly
fromhealthinsurance companies
rather than employers who say it
wouldviolatetheir long-heldcon-
victions.
Almost immediately, Demo-
crats who had disagreed with the
White House backed the
revised policy. So did Sis-
ter Carol Keehan, presi-
dent and chief executive
officer of the Catholic
Health Association of the
United States and a cru-
cial player in both this de-
bate and the fierce fight
over Obamas health care
overhaul law. The na-
tions bishops renewed
their call for passage of
legislation that would al-
low a health plan to de-
cline coverage of specific
items and services, based on reli-
gious beliefs.
The once formidable coalition
against the president had splin-
tered. Factions that had stood
with the GOP cautiously backed
Obamas midcourse correction. It
was a necessary policy change
that reversedthepolitical dynam-
ic.
After the many genuine con-
cerns that have been raised over
the last few weeks, as well as,
frankly, the more cynical desire
on the part of some to make this
into a political football, it became
clear that spending months ham-
mering out a solution was not go-
ing to be an option, that we need-
ed to move this faster, Obama
saidinannouncinghisretreat and
compromise.
The comment was a clear ac-
knowledgment that his adminis-
tration needed to move away
quickly from an all-consuming
battle that pitted Obama against
the Catholic Church, hardly the
fight a president
wants to pick when
hes seeking anoth-
er term.
At the end of the
day, Church one,
White House zero,
said Sara Taylor Fa-
gen, a Republican
strategist and
White House politi-
cal adviser in Ge-
orge W. Bushs ad-
ministration.
The policy and
the fury under-
scored the difficulty for the ad-
ministration in implementing
elements of Obamas sweeping
health care law, which remains
highly divisive nearly two years
after it became law and within
months of the Supreme Court
renderingitsjudgment sometime
in late spring. It reflected the
nervousness among congression-
al Democratsandcandidateswho
want toavoidalienatingworking-
class voters andsuburbanwomen
critical to their fate this Novem-
ber.
The initial policy had drawn
opposition from Democrats such
as Sens. Joe Manchin of West Vir-
ginia, Bob Casey of Pennsylvania
and Rep. John Larson of Connec-
ticut, all Catholic and all facing
re-election this year. Challenging
the administration was Tim
Kaine, a former chairman of the
Democratic National Commit-
tee, the Senate candidate in Vir-
ginia and a Catholic who worked
with Jesuit missionaries in Hon-
duras.
There was palpable relief
among several with the presi-
dents announcement.
I am pleased that the White
House has taken further steps to
ensure that all women have ac-
cess to affordable contraception
and to ensure that religious orga-
nizations will not be asked to vio-
late their beliefs in the process,
Kaine said in a statement.
Larson praised the president
for finding a pathforwardto pro-
vide coverage to everyone while
addressing the conscience con-
cerns of religiously affiliated or-
ganizations.
Manchin and Casey held off on
a final assessment, saying they
were looking at the details.
Before announcing the deci-
sion, Obama called Keehan,
Planned Parenthood President
Cecile Richards and Cardinal-
designate Timothy Dolan, head
of the nations Roman Catholic
bishops. Keehanwaskeyinafight
that turned out to be health care
redux. Twoyearsago, hersupport
for the health care lawin the face
of the bishops opposition helped
sway several conservative and
moderate anti-abortion Demo-
cratstobackthelegislation, votes
that lifted the bill into law.
On Friday, shortly after Oba-
mas White House appearance,
Keehan issued a statement: The
CatholicHealthAssociationis ve-
ry pleased with the White House
announcement that a resolution
has been reached that protects
the religious liberty and con-
science rights of Catholic institu-
tions. The framework developed
has responded to the issues we
identified that needed to be
fixed.
Mo Elleithee, who worked on
Hillary Rodham Clintons presi-
dential campaign, said the ad-
ministration can argue that in a
dysfunctional, highly partisan
Washington, the president found
a way to compromise.
Obama course correction
reversed political dynamic

Brady Press Briefing Room of
the White House on Friday.
Factions that had
stood with the
GOP cautiously
backed Obamas
midcourse correc-
tion. It was a
necessary policy
change that re-
versed the politi-
cal dynamic.
PORTLAND, Maine Mitt
Romney narrowly won Maines
Republican caucuses, state par-
ty officials announced Saturday,
providing his campaign with a
much-needed boost after three
straight losses earlier
this week. But the for-
mer Massachusetts
governor won just a
plurality of the Maine
vote, suggesting he
still has work to do to
unite GOP voters be-
hind his candidacy.
At a gathering in
Portland, state Republican
Chairman Charlie Webster an-
nounced Romney had won with
2,190 votes, or 39 percent, com-
pared to 1,996 about 36 per-
cent for Paul, the only other
candidate to aggressively com-
pete in the state. Rick Santorum
received 989 votes and Newt
Gingrich won 349, but neither
actively campaigned there. Oth-
er candidates drew 61 votes.
The totals reflected about 84
percent of the states precincts.
Webster insisted that any cau-
cus results that come in after
Saturday wouldnt be counted
no matter how close the vote.
Some caucuses decided not
to participate in this poll and
will caucus after this announce-
ment, Webster said. Their re-
sults will not be factored in. The
absent votes will not be factored
into this announcement after
the fact.
Romneys win, combined
with his victory in the
presidential straw
poll at the Conserva-
tive Political Action
Committee confer-
ence in Washington
hours earlier, helped
slow an embarrassing
skid that began Tues-
day when he lost con-
tests in Missouri, Minnesota
and Colorado to Santorum. The
twin triumphs dampened the
perception for now that
conservatives were unwilling to
support Romney.
Romneys campaign has dem-
onstrated skill and flexibility in
winning a big state like Florida
and eking out a victory in a low-
turnout contest like Maine,
where organization and voter
contact are essential. Out of
Maines 258,000 registered Re-
publicans, nearly 5,600 cast bal-
lots in the weeklong contest.
But questions about Rom-
neys durability as the partys
presumed front-runner persist.
Fully 61 percent of Maine voters
selected another candidate than
Romney in a state practically in
his back yard. And Romneys
showing was down considera-
bly from 2008, when he won 51
percent of the vote.
Maines caucuses began Feb.
4 and continued throughout the
week. Several communities
elected to hold their caucuses at
a later date.
Caucuses in Washington
County that had been sched-
uled for Saturday were post-
poned until Feb. 18 because of a
major snowstorm that blanket-
ed the region. Earlier, party Ex-
ecutive Director Michael Qua-
trano said county officials had
been told the results of that cau-
cus would not count toward the
total.
But in an interview, Washing-
ton County Republican Chair-
man Chris Gardner said that
when the decision was made to
postpone the caucuses, he
didnt realize his countys votes
wouldnt count toward the total.

DICKSON CITY What
weighs 6 grams and can support
12 pounds or 5,500 times its
own weight? A bridge hand-built
by Zach McNulty, a high school
student from Pocono Mountain
West High School who placed
first at Saturdays 2012 North-
east Pennsylvania Regional
Bridge Building Competition
held at the Viewmont Mall near
Scranton.
This year marked the 24th
competition of its kind, accord-
ing to organizers.
Thirty-seven high school stu-
dents from 16 Northeastern
Pennsylvania
schools com-
peted to see
how well they
could build
bridges that
met strict
length, width
and weight
bridge building
criteria, said
organizer Don
Kieffer, a re-
tired teacher
with a passion
for bridge
building.
Students
from Wyoming
Valley West,
Wilkes-Barre
Area Career
and Technical Center, Greater
Nanticoke Area and Hanover Ar-
ea schools participated along
with schools from several other
local counties.
Seneca Propst, an 11th-grade
girl from Honesdale Area who
was last years winner, took sec-
ond place, and Joe DelSanto, a
10th-grader from Wyoming Val-
ley West, placed third.
DelSanto said he was very
surprised at how well his
bridge performed.
His creative design resulted in
a bridge that weighed only 8
grams but supported more than
10 pounds.
His secret was to make the
bridge extremely light utilizing
triangular under-trusses, he
said. Im very happy with it,
he added.
Kieffer pointed out the stu-
dents have become increasingly
sophisticated in their bridge de-
signs over the last two decades
of competition.
Every year there is improve-
ment in the quality of the
bridges being designed and
built, he said. A number of stu-
dents have changed their career
goals after being involved with
our competition, he added.
The first- and second-place
finishers are eligible to compete
on a national level later this year
inLas Vegas.

D
r. Joseph Harrington, of Mil-
ford, Pa., 82, died at home
peacefully on February 10, 2012 af-
ter a period of brief illness.
He was the husband of Eileen
(Stafford) Harrington.
Joseph Francis Harrington was
born at home on August 15, 1929, to
the late Joseph and Florence (Mad-
den) Harrington in Olyphant, Pa. A
graduate of St. Patricks High
School, he received an undergradu-
ate degree at The University of
Scranton in1951, and a Doctorate of
Dental Surgery at Georgetown Den-
tal School in1955. Following gradu-
ation, he served as a dentist for four
years at the Fairford and West Dray-
ton American Air Force bases in En-
gland and was honorably dis-
chargedfromactivedutyonNovem-
ber 20, 1958. He met his wife, Ei-
leen, a private duty nurse, near the
base through the priest at the small
Catholic Church they both attend-
ed. They married on November 9,
1957 at Annakissa, Eileens home
parish in Castlekevin, Country
Cork, Ireland.
In1959, he began his dental prac-
tice first at 110 Broad Street and
then at 208 West Harford Street. In
the 1970s, he was co-founder of the
Tri-State Dental Association and
served on the Milford Water Au-
thority. He retired fromdentistry af-
ter 45 years in1997 and subsequent-
ly worked part-time at the Pike
County Courthouse for judicial ser-
vices support. He and Eileen were
married for 54 years and were com-
municants at St. Patricks Church
since they arrived in the area.
Ken Rosenalli, a colleague and
long time friend said, In a time
when competition is the norm, Joe
andPaul Horsmanset a tone of cam-
araderie among the local dentists.
Each new dentist was welcomed;
they covered each others emergen-
cies and helped out fellow dentists
during times of sickness a legacy
of Joe and Pauls example. Joe is a
humble man his patients always
came first. For as many continued
education courses as he continued
to take, you never heard him brag
about it. Any continued education
outing near Scranton included a
slight detour down memory lane
through Olyphant. In the weekly
grindof doctor andhospital visits, it
was rare tosee Joe "out of sorts." We
admire the grace withwhichhe han-
dled such a difficult situation. We
never heard Joe have an unkind
word about anyone. Although he
never bragged; in conversation you
could tell Joe was extremely proud
of his entire family. Joe truly lived a
Christian life.
Sandy Beecher, also a long-time
friend and neighbor, noted when he
and his family arrived in town in
1963, Doc as many of Josephs pa-
tients knew him, was already very
respected person in the community
andafter just a couple of years being
here. He was a consummate profes-
sional and he never turned anyone
away day or night. He had an open
heart for people and I know he did
free dental work for people who
couldnt affordit. He probablysaved
many peoples lives with serious
heart problems with dental exams
and other serious illnesses by refer-
ring them to the appropriate med-
ical specialists after a dental exam.
He was very straightforward and
didnt have a phony bone in his
body. His core values were decency,
compassion, understanding and
perseverance.
In addition to his wife, Joseph is
survived by his four children, Mary
Harrington, Ann Maria Laurenza,
John Harrington and Lisa Jackson
and their spouses, Brian Wilder,
Paul Laurenza, Naomi Harrington
and Thad Jackson. He was the
grandfather of KieranandAiley Wil-
der, Ryan and Jason Laurenza and
Emily and Eli Jackson. He was the
brother of Eleanor Loughney of
Binghamton, N.Y., and the late Mar-
garet Dougherty and Mary Eliza-
beth Tinsley and a loving uncle to a
large extended family both here and
in Ireland.

Dr. Joseph Harrington
February 10, 2012
her death was sure to case a
heavy pall on todays ceremony.
Houstons longtime mentor Clive
Davis was to hold his annual con-
cert and dinner Saturday; it was
unclear if it was going to go for-
ward.
At her peak, Houston was the
golden girl of the music industry.
Fromthe middle1980s to the late
1990s, she was one of the worlds
best-selling artists. She wowed
audiences with effortless, power-
ful, and peerless vocals that were
rooted in the black church but
made palatable to the masses
with a pop sheen.
Her success carried her be-
yond music to movies, where she
starred in hits like The Body-
guard and Waiting to Exhale.
She had the perfect voice, and
the perfect image: a gorgeous
singer who had sex appeal but
was never overtly sexual, who
maintained perfect poise.
She influenced a gener-
ation of younger singers,
fromChristina Aguilera to
Mariah Carey, who when
she first came out sound-
ed so much like Houston
that many thought it was
Houston.
But by the end of her ca-
reer, Houston became a
stunning cautionary tale
of the toll of drug use. Her
album sales plummeted
and the hits stopped com-
ing; her oncesereneimage
was shatteredbya wildde-
meanor and bizarre public
appearances. She con-
fessed to abusing cocaine,
marijuana and pills, and
her once pristine voice became
raspy and hoarse, unable to hit
the high notes as she had during
her prime.
The biggest devil is me. Imei-
ther my best friend or my worst
enemy, Houston told ABCs
Diane Sawyer in an infamous
2002 interview with then-hus-
band Brown by her side.
It was a tragic fall for a super-
star who was one of the top-sell-
ing artists in pop music history,
with more than 55 million re-
cords sold in the United States
alone.
She seemed to be born into
greatness. She was the daughter
of gospel singer Cissy Houston,
the cousin of 1960s pop diva
Dionne Warwick and the god-
daughter of Aretha Franklin.
Houstonfirst startedsingingin
the church as a child. In her
teens, she sang backup for Chaka
Khan, Jermaine Jackson and oth-
ers, in addition to
modeling. It was
aroundthat time when
music mogul Clive Da-
vis first heardHouston
perform.
The time that I first
saw her singing in her
mothers act in a club
... it was such a stun-
ning impact, Davis
told Good Morning
America.
To hear this young
girl breathe such fire
into this song. I mean,
it really sent the pro-
verbial tingles up my
spine, he added.
Before long, the rest
of the country would
feel it, too. Houston made her al-
bumdebut in1985withWhitney
Houston, which sold millions
and spawned hit after hit. Sav-
ing All My Love for You brought
her her first Grammy, for best fe-
male pop vocal. How Will I
Know, You Give Good Love
andThe Greatest Love of All al-
so became hit singles.
Another multiplatinumalbum,
Whitney, came out in 1987 and
includedhits like Where DoBro-
ken Hearts Go and I Wanna
Dance With Somebody.
The New York Times wrote
that Houston possesses one of
her generations most powerful
gospel-trained voices, but she es-
chews many of the churchier
mannerisms of her forerunners.
She uses ornamental gospel
phrasing only sparingly, and in-
stead of projecting an earthy,
tearful vulnerability, communi-
cates cool self-assurance and
strength, building pop ballads to
majestic, sustained peaks of in-
tensity.
Her decision not to follow the
more soulful inflections of sing-
ers like Franklin drew criticism
by some who saw her as playing
down her black roots to go pop
and reach white audiences. The
criticism would become a con-
stant refrain through much of her
career. She was even booed dur-
ing the Soul Train Awards in
1989.
Sometimes it gets down to
that, you know? she told Katie
Couric in 1996. Youre not black
enough for them. I dont know.
Youre not R&B enough. Youre
very pop. The white audience has
taken you away from them.
Some sawher1992marriage to
former NewEdition member and
soul crooner Bobby Brown as an
attempt to refute those critics. It
seemed to be an odd union; she
was seen as pops pure princess
while he had a bad-boy image,
and already had children of his
own. (The couple hada daughter,
Bobbi Kristina, in 1993.)

DALLAS A petty crimi-
nals police mug shot usually
doesnt see the light of day.
But a cottage industry of
tabloids and websites has
sprung up that harvest the of-
ten ugly mugs from jail ar-
chives across the country,
making it much more likely
that someones least-finest
hour may be online or in print
to provide weeks or years of
embarrassment.
"People either love it or hate
it," said Ryan Chief, who sells
100,000 tabloids filled with
mug shots in 19 states every
week.
Police book-in photos have
long been public record. The
outfits that print them enjoy
the constitutional protections
of freedom of the press.
But the outrage some peo-
ple feel over having their ar-
rest blasted to the world has
led to everything from grous-
ing to lawsuits. Few survive
because of First Amendment
protections.
What really riles people is
that some sites require pay-
ment to remove a picture from
a website.
"If youre asking for money
to take it down, it shows that
youre not acting in a public in-
terest or altruistic mindset,"
said a Dallas doctor whose
photo from a March drunken
driving arrest is on Busted-
Mugshots.com, which also
publishes a newspaper locally.
She did not want to be identi-
fied.
The site charges $68 to re-
move a picture, unless the per-
son can prove with court
documents that they have
been acquitted, or were under-
age when arrested.
"Obviously $68 is not an ex-
cessive amount of money, but I
dont want to support their
site in any way," the doctor
said.
Attempts to reach Citizens
InformationAssociates inAus-
tin, which owns the
site and paper, were
not successful.
"People want to
know who has been in
jail and why," an edi-
tors note in a recent
edition says. "Our
Constitutionkeeps the
government account-
able to the people and
Citizens Information
Associates fights to
keep the public infor-
mation public."
Most "shame rags,"
as theyre sometimes
called, acknowledge they are
entertainment. Some see
themselves as providing a pub-
lic service, such as helping
cops solve crimes.
Chief, publisher of a com-
peting paper, Busted, which
was called Charged in North
Texas until he changed it to
Mugshot Junkie last month,
has no online archive. He said
he does not
agree with tak-
ing money to
remove pic-
tures from the
Internet.
"Whatever
integrity my
trashy tabloid
paper may be
hanging on to,
at least I dont
charge people
to stay out of
the paper," he
said.
Chief said he
started his first mug-shot tab-
loid four years ago in Florida,
which is known for its open
public record laws.
The mug-shot market
seemed mixed during a recent
drive along Dallas Riverfront
Boulevard, which runs by the
Lew Sterrett Justice Center
and is flanked by a jumble of
neon-lit bail bond offices.
"We dont carry them any-
more," said a clerk at a Dia-
mond Shamrock sandwiched
between A-Way-Out Bail
Bonds and a liquor store. All
three businesses have burglar
bars in their windows. "No-
body buys them," she said.
Afewblocks north, the cash-
ier at C-Store had one sun-fad-
ed copy of Charged. It was
from June.
A couple of miles to the
south, Lim Sao had a stack of
BustedMugshots.com news-
papers near his register at
Kwik Stop gas station at River-
front and Corinth. "Some-
times we sell 10 a week," he
said. They cost $1.
The papers contain more
than mug-shots. Many feature
real police "most wanted" list-
ings with information on how
to turn in bad guys.
Far more of the content is

boys locker room.

NEWYORKPresident Ba-
rack Obama on Saturday urged
Congress to extend a payroll-
tax cut, with the clock ticking
on the time remaining for law-
makers to act or have taxes rise
for millions of working Ameri-
cans.
"If Congress refuses to act,
middle-class taxes will go up.
Its that simple," Obama said
Saturday in his weekly radio
and Internet address about the
tax cut, which expires at the
endof February andamounts to
roughly $1,000 a year for the
typical family, or $40 a pay-
check.
In December, lawmakers
agreed on a two-month exten-
sion of the tax cut. But legisla-
tion to extend it would also re-
new jobless benefits for the
long-term unemployed and
stop a 27 percent reduction in
Medicare payments to physi-
cians. The measure costs more
than $150 billion and Congress
needs to figure out to cover the
expenditures.
In the Republican reply, Vir-
ginia Gov. Bob McDonnell tar-
geted Obamas not-yet-released
budget, saying the presidents
fiscal plan likely would impede
job creation with a tax hike
while not addressing the na-
tions debt.
"We can expect that this will
not be a proactive budget built
to promote fiscal responsibility
and future prosperity. Rather, it
appears well see a bloated bud-
get that doubles down on the
failed policies of the past," said
McDonnell.
Obamas budget, to be re-
leasedMonday, wouldlet Bush-
era tax cuts for Americans at
the high-end of the tax brackets
expire. It is also expected to re-
quest the elimination of corpo-
rate taxloopholes inadditionto
reduced corporate tax rates.

DETROITBest-sellingau-
thor Jeffrey Zaslow was killed
Friday when he lost control of
his car on a snowy road after
promoting his latest book in
northernMichigan. He was 53.
Zaslow, co-author of the mil-
lion-sellingbookTheLastLec-
ture, was also a former colum-
nist for The Wall Street Journal
and former advice columnist
fortheChicagoSun-Times. Zas-
low, who had an affinity for sto-
ries of heroism and resilience,
workedonmemoirsof U.S. Rep.
Gabrielle Giffords and airline
pilot Capt. Chesley Sully Sul-
lenberger.
Jeff was a beautiful writer,
wonderful collaborator, loving
husband, father and friend,
Sullenberger, who was praised
for his skill after safelyditching
a plane in the Hudson River in
2009, said in a written state-
ment Friday. Our wholefamily
loved himdearly and he will be
sorely missed.
Zaslow was killed in an acci-
dent Friday morning inWarner
Township, about 160 miles
northwest of Lansing, accord-
ing to the AntrimCounty sher-
iffs office. Zaslows car slidinto
thepathof asemitrailer. Hewas
killed on im-
pact.
The sher-
iffs depart-
ment did not
release the
name of the
victim, but
literary agent
and friend Gary Morris con-
firmed Zaslows death. Morris
said he was told of Zaslows
deathFriday evening by the au-
thors wife.
Zaslow was in northern Mi-
chigan speaking about The
MagicRoom: AStoryAboutthe
Love We Wish for Our Daugh-
ters. The book, based on a Mi-
chigan bridal shop, was pub-
lishedinDecember.
His great talent was to find
stories that had heart that peo-
ple could relate to, Morris
said.
Morris said Zaslows first
book was based on a 2007 co-
lumn he wrote for The Wall
Street Journal. The Last Lec-
turewaspublishedin2008and
has been translated into 40 lan-
guages. It was inspired by Car-

Yet a look at the data provided to The
Times Leader shows the money raised
by the tax hike is less than the amount
saved if 1,573 employees earning a total
of nearly $62.8 million agreed to a 3 per-
cent pay cut across the board.
In many cases, it would not even have
been a cut; freezing wages would have
stopped contractual increases of 2 and 3
percent in most unions.
Hike to raise $1.7M
The tax hike is expected to raise $1.7
million. Split evenly among the employ-
ees reviewed by The Times Leader, that
wouldrequire a pay cut of $1,081per per-
son-- nearly3percent of theaveragesala-
ry of $39,920.
At the topof the scale, $1,081wouldbe
ascant 0.6percent for newly-electedDis-
trict Attorney Stefanie Salavantis, who
makes $165,541. On the other end of the
scale, it wouldbe5.6percent of custodial
worker Vincent Seiwells $19,750 salary.
But reducing everyones pay by 3 per-
cent rather than by the same dollar
amount would have saved nearly $1.9
million, more thanenoughto avoidthe 2
percent tax hike.
Such a move would have cost Salavan-
tis $5,056 this year. Five county detec-
tives at the top of the pay chart each
gets more than $89,000 annually
would have seen their wages drop by
about $2,800.
Seiwell would have $593 less by the
end of the year. Council members would
see their $8,000 pay slip by $240.
Cutting salaries is far easier said than
done. State law determines the salary
for district attorney, for example, so it
can be changed only by the legislature in
Harrisburg. Many of the other employ-
ees have multi-year unioncontracts that,
by law, would require the unions to
agree to reopen them for negotiation
an idea all county unions rejected in the
budget debate.
And several departments have sepa-
rate budgets with revenue from sources
other than county property taxes, so
translating salary cuts into tax savings is
not always simple math. But the raw
numbers are clear.
Median salary: $36,558
How is that $62,794,815 in total pay-
roll distributed?
The average salary is $39,920, but a
better gauge is the median, the salary
right inthe middle: The same number of
people earn more as earn less.
In this case, the median is $36,558;
there are 786 people paid more, and 786
paid less.
And yes, there is one person who
earned the median: Brian McAdarra, a
care manager supervisor for the Area
Agency on Aging. Its important to note
that is one of several departments with
separate budgets that dont rely entirely
on county i.e. property tax dollars.
Looking at the number of people earn-
ing salaries in every $10,000 pay bracket
gives a more detailed picture of howthe
money is meted out. Only two people --
Salavantis and interim County Manager
Tom Pribula -- earn six figures. Only the
11county council members are paid four
figures.
The numbers for the other low and
high brackets arent much bigger. Nine
people earn from $10,000 to $19,999;
there are three in the $90,000 to $99,999
range, five in the $80,000 to $89,999
zone, and 15 in the $70,000 to $79,999
bracket.
Put another way, 20 people receive
less than $20,000, while 25 get more
than $70,000.
The biggest group 576 are paid
between $30,000 and $39,999; another
335 people are paid $20,000 to $29,999.
Thats 911 county workers getting
$20,000 to $40,000 a year all below
the countys median household income
of $42,224, according to the U.S. Census
Bureau.
The next three brackets above that are
pretty well populated: 618 county work-
ers are paid between $40,000 and
$70,000. Heres howit breaks down: 278
get $40,000 to $49,999, 223 get $50,000
to $59,999, and 117 get $60,000 to
$69,999.
If you want to be a top earner in Lu-
zerne County employ, which depart-
ment should you join? The District At-
torneys Office, hands down.
Nine of the top 10 salaries are paid
there; OnlyPribula breathes that rarified
air without reporting to the D.A.
Along with Salavantis and the afore-
mentioned five detectives, the top 10 in-
clude First Assistant District Attorney
Samuel Sanguedolce, and Lieutenants
Christopher Lynch and Larry Fabian.
The top 10 are paid a combined
$983,660 -- 1.6 percent of the total pay-
roll of the 1,573 positions reviewed
(there were 246 part-time positions for
which no salary data was available).
After that, no department is clearly
the place to be if you yearn to earn,
though one quirk jumps out if you scan a
list from highest pay to lowest. Among
the employees who rank from number
55 to number 151in salary (97 workers),
27are indomestic relations, andanother
67 are in Probation Services.
Those 94 workers were paid a com-
bined salary of nearly $5.8 million 9
percent of the $62 million total.
Labor-intensive prison
By both total payroll and number of
employees, the prison department is by
far the largest.
Atotal of 341employees witha payroll
of $15.8 million get an average salary of
$46,352. Thats nearly 22 percent of the
1,573 positions reviewed, and25 percent
of the $62 million paid to all those peo-
ple.
Children and Youth Services
charged with assuring the protection
and well-being of youngsters has the
second-highest share of payroll and em-
ployees nearly $7.2 million paid to
186 workers, roughly 11 percent of both
total employees and payroll reviewed.
Probation services spends 9.4 percent
of the $62 millionon7 percent of the em-
ployees $5.9 million paid to 113 peo-
ple making it the third-largest depart-
ment in both payroll and employees.
The Area Agency on Aging comes in
fourth in both categories, though the
agency was established under federal
law and receives funding outside the
county budget. It coordinates social ser-
vices for older residents in both Luzerne
and Wyoming counties. With those ca-
veats noted, the agency payroll is $3.6
million for 100 workers among those re-
viewed.
By the broadest measure, the biggest
cost could be put under one umbrella:
Justice.
Clerk of courts, court stenographers,
courts, domestic relations, district judg-
es, orphan court and the archaic posi-
tions of jury commissioners made
largely irrelevant by computers em-
ploy a combined 221 people with a pay-
roll of nearly $8.9 million.
Prison, probation services and the
sheriffs department payabout $23.1mil-
lion to 499 people.
The offices of district attorney and
public defender pay nearly $4.4 million
to 101 people. Throw in the offices that
handle paperwork and legal filings
prothonotary, recorder of deeds and reg-
ister of wills and you have another $1.2
million paid to 41 employees.
Add it all up and the total payroll is
$37.7 million for 862 workers.
One last tidbit: While the District At-
torneys Office provides the highest sala-
ries, the engineering department, with
only six employees, has the highest aver-
age, $56,250.
The lowest? Security, averaging
$24,197 for 27 workers.
BUDGET
By both total payroll and number of
employees, the prison department
is by far the largest.
cession hit, said Steve Gardner of
AARP Pennsylvania.
According to USA Today,
AARP has determined 17.9 per-
cent of those between 65 and 75
worked in 2011. That is markedly
higher than the 10.8 percent in
that age group who worked 25
years ago.
Trend to continue
AARP says projections indi-
cate those 65 and older will in-
crease from about one in eight
people toone infive by 2030. As a
result, older workers likely will
compose an increasingly larger
proportion of the workforce.
The rising cost of everything
from energy to food and medi-
cine is forcing many older adults
back into the workforce, Gardner
said.
In addition, the drop in stock
prices hurt many seniors retire-
ment nest eggs, while others con-
tinue working to maintain health
insurance benefits, he said.
They have a strong work eth-
ic, he said, noting statistics that
they dont often call off.
Baby boomers are choosing to
remain active longer than their
parents. That means many are
staying in jobs, pursuing second
careers, working part time or vol-
unteering in the community,
Gardner said.
Chickeletti saidsome senior ci-
tizens find themselves bored
once they retire because they
raised families and worked but
never developed any hobbies.
As of July 2011 there were 130
older workers enrolled in the Ma-
ture Workers program.
In the past 13 months, the
agency has placed 46 workers in-
to the local workforce. Ina coun-
ty with the highest unemploy-
ment rate in the state, this is real-
ly good, he said.

Piazza said Friday.
The infants were delivered
under the care of a prison doc-
tor and were both alive when
they were transported by an
emergency crew to Wilkes-
Barre General Hospital, but
one of the babies subsequently
died in the hospital, Piazza
said. The mother acknowl-
edged she had no prenatal
care, and a drug screening de-
tected opiates in her system,
according to Piazza.
Piazza said Saturday he was
unaware of any change in the
surviving babys condition.
Pribula said he sent
an email Friday to Lu-
zerne County District
Attorney Stefanie Sala-
vantis asking her office
to investigate the inci-
dent. Salavantis said
Saturday that she
hadnt seen Pribulas
letter and that she
needs to review what
Pribula wrote before
determining what ac-
tion, if any, to take.
Piazza said he welcomes the
investigation because the pris-
on followed the proper proto-
col in handling the births. .
Im confident everything was
done right, Piazza said.
Pribula said he was not in-
formed about the incident un-
til it was reported by media
about two weeks later, a fact
he called aggravating.
Pribula declined to say what
internal discipline or other
consequences might come as a
result of the incident, explain-
ing that he plans to meet with
others in county government
Monday to gain a clearer un-
derstanding of what happened.
Well look into the entire in-
cident, Pribula said. There
could be varied issues or reper-
cussions, because its of such a
serious nature and Im sensi-
tive to these kinds of issues.
Luzerne County Council

Chairman Jim Bobeck called it
unacceptable that Pribula
was not notified of the incident
by the prison immediately.
Failure to notify him is un-
acceptable, and to fail to notify
him for two weeks thats the
big point here, it was two
weeks thats unacceptable,
Bobeck said.
Bobeck said the county
Home Rule Charter clearly
states that the county manager
heads the executive branch of
government and that all de-
partment and division manag-
ers should report directly to
Pribula.
I think the prob-
lem is, there are many
managers within the
executive branch who
are failing to recog-
nize this new form of
government and the
protocols that go
along with it, Bobeck
said.
Piazza responded
that if there was an
error, I made the error
by not notifying (Prib-
ula), but also said that the
woman was in the prisons cus-
tody for only a day, leaving the
day after she arrived.
The warden added that
though it might have been the
first birth at the county prison,
births in penitentiaries are
common.
This is not new, Piazza
said. Things happen; people
die in jail; people overdose; ba-
bies are born. Its a small city, a
prison; its a city within a city.
Believe me, my heart goes
out for this mother, he added.
I feel bad for this mother and
I feel very sad about the baby
dying, but we did everything
we could possibly do, and
when those babies left Luzerne
County Correctional Facility,
they were alive.

cizing plans to remove an in-
scription from the monu-

T
he1940 U.S. Census will become
available to the public in just seven
weeks. But, as usual, genealogists
will need an index to find the ancestors
theyre looking for without a lot of wast-
ed time.
You can help provide that index.
The Northeast Pennsylvania Genea-
logical Society has joined the1940 U.S.
Census Community Project to help index
the census, and it needs volunteers to
speed the indexing through to success.
Indexing records from(Pennsylva-
nia), we will be an essential part of this
monumental grass-roots effort that will
put one of the richest genealogical data
sets in the world online, complete and
free of charge forever, the society an-
nounced last week.
To register, go to www.the1940cen-
sus.com/society and sign up to participa-
te with the Genealogical Society. Select
Northeast Pennsylvania Genealogical
Society on the profile screen when you
create your account. Besides helping
your fellowgenealogists research their
Pennsylvania ancestors, you will help the
society qualify for incentives by the
sponsors of the project.
The census is scheduled for release on
Monday, April 2. The Census Bureaus
practice is to release a census only after
72 years have elapsed. Taken on the eve
of World War II, its a snapshot of the
men and women who very soon would
serve in the military and on the home
front. One of the interesting questions
asked was whether anyone in the house-
hold had worked for depression-era
programs such as the WPA.
An even more significant issue for
genealogists, though, will be that images
of the census records, for the first time,
will be released online and free to the
public. The indexing, however, will take
more time, and that is why the genealog-
ical community is being asked to partici-
pate.
The1940 U.S. Census Community
Project is a joint initiative between Archi-
ves.com, FamilySearch and other leading
genealogy societies and organizations.

ANTA CRUZ, Calif. Veterans returning from
wars can often count on a reservoir of goodwill
fromthe public to help themmake the transition
to civilian life. And there are programs to help them
begin new, post-military careers.
But sometimes, it gets complicated.
Eric Falconer, for example, has spent months trying
to match up some of the nations most steadfast and
loyal retired warriors with local lawenforcement agen-
cies, but without much luck.
Thats because the vets in question are of the four-
leggedvariety, andtheir situations andneeds are unique.
Falconer, who owns Von Falconer K-9 Training in
Bonny Doon, Calif., isnt holding his breath. Very few
war dogs are adopted out to lawenforcement agencies,
since theyre usually inthe 9- to11-year-oldrange by the
timetheyretire, accordingtoRonAiello, aVietnamvet-

Jersey-based U.S. War Dogs As-
sociation.
Gerry Proctor works as the
public affairs officer for the 37th
Training Wing at Lackland Air
Force Base, in San Antonio, Tex-
as, the official military working
dog school for the U.S. Depart-
ment of Defense. The dogs of-
fered to law enforcement agen-
cies, he andAiellosay, are usually
those that wash out during the
training program.
When we have a young dog
that cant pass its certification,
but its still a good dog, well offer
it to law enforcement, Proctor
said. We always try to first find
another government agency that
can use that dog before offering
it to civilians.
But thats only a small percent-
age of the dogs that graduate
from Lacklands program each
year. The rest receive their certi-
fications, then deploy with their
handlers on missions around the
world.
When they retire, Proctor said,
they return to one of the roughly
200 U.S. military kennels scat-
teredaroundthe worldthat serve
as their home bases. From there,
theyre usually adopted by han-
dlers, though civilians can adopt
those that havent already been
snatched up. But demand far out-
strips supply, Proctor said, gener-
ating a waiting list thats more
than a year long.
Before theyre adopted out,
they have to receive medical
clearance and some are even
treated for the post-traumatic
stress disorder that often afflicts
both two- and four-legged sol-
diers living and working in war
zones. Most dogs with PTSD are
skittish, nervous and gun-shy,
but that does not stop them
frombeing adopted by civilians,
Aiello said.
Retired war dogs also go
through a battery of tests to de-
termine their level of aggressive-
ness and how suitable they are
for life in the civilian world.
Among them is a bite test,
which Proctor said is a good in-
dicator of the dogs propensity to
be aggressive when its not being
called on to do that. If the dog
passes the test, it is allowed to be
adopted to the public.
For a select few, unfortunately,
the aggression is too hard wired.
According to Proctor, eight of the
350war dogs that retiredtoLack-
land in 2010 had to be euthan-
ized.
Becoming a member of the
elite
Hundreds of dogs are adopted
out of Lackland each year, some
because of age or health reasons,
and others because they couldnt
obtain or maintain their certifica-
tions.
To stay certified, those dogs
must maintain a 95 percent accu-
racy rate, author Lisa Rogak
writes in her recently released
book, The Dogs of War: The
Courage, Love and Loyalty of
Military Working Dogs.
The book was published in Oc-
tober, about five months after
Cairo, a specially trained Belgian
malinois attached to an elite Na-
vy SEAL team, participated in
the raid that led to Osama bin La-
dens death.
That four-legged soldiers ex-
ploits raised awareness about the
role of war dogs, whichhave been
delivering supplies, food and
messages to troops, locating and
comforting wounded soldiers
and sniffing out bombs since
World War I.
The most common breeds are
German shepherds and Belgian
malinois, Proctor said, but some
Labrador retrievers and mixed
breeds also are among the elite.
In one part of her book, Rogak
writes that dogs today are cho-
sennot only for the strengths and
talents inherent to their breed,
but alsofor their brownandblack
color so as not to call attention to
their presence.
But Proctor said thats not
true.
The performance of the dog is
the most important factor, he
said.
Though some military work-
ing dogs are bred in the United
States, most are acquired from
European sources, since they
have centuries of experience
breeding sporting dogs, Proctor
said.
While you certainly do have
that with U.S. breeders, they can-
not provide the numbers we need
to sustain our program, he add-
ed.
Military dogs role in Iraq
All war dogs start their train-
ing regimens at Lackland, when
they are about seven months old
andat their most moldable age,
according to Aiello. Depending
on their interests, abilities and
skills, they learn everything from
tracking and patrol to detecting
drugs and bombs. Proctor said
about 350 dogs graduate from
the program each year, and there
are now about 3,000 dog-and-
handler teams deployed around
the world, in all branches of the
service.
By their first deployment, the
militarys invested anywhere
from $30,000 to $80,000. With
that kind of investment, keeping
the dogs in good shape is a high
priority. Lackland has a $13 mil-
lion veterinary hospital, where
the dogs receive everything from
checkups, ultrasounds and sur-
gery to rehabilitation and dental
care including root canals.
When word came out about
Cairo being on the mission to get
(Osama) bin Laden, they said he
was a killer dog and that he had
titaniumcanine teethso he could
kill, Aiello said.
One section of The Dogs of
War specifically addresses the
rumor, widely circulated after
that raid, that all war dogs are
outfitted with titanium teeth to
make it easier to rip and tear at
their targets flesh.
Cairodid, infact, have twolow-
er titanium teeth but only be-
cause his permanent teeth had
been broken on a bite sleeve dur-
ing training.
Just like a human, he had a
root canal and then the two teeth
were capped, Aiello said. It was
medically necessary.
Aiello does not know what
happened to the civilian contrac-
tor dog teams that served in Iraq
when U.S. troops pulled out in
December. But themilitarywork-
ing dogs that served there either
moved on to new assignments in
Afghanistan, or returned to their
home bases, where theyeither re-
tired or began working with han-
dlers-in-training, he said.
Thats good news to Falconer,
who was worried the dogs
those four-legged soldiers that
served so faithfully alongside
their humans, saving thousands
of lives in the process would
face the same fate as their coun-
terparts in the Vietnam War.
Proctor would not discuss the
history of military war dogs. But
according to Aiello and Rogak,
when U.S. troops began with-
drawing in the early 1970s, mili-
tary officials balked at the costs
associated with bringing them
home, including transportation,
housing and feeding them. It was
also widely believed at the time
that the dogs could not be de-
programmed out of their war-
time mentality, making themun-
fit for the civilian world.
Aiello estimates out of the
roughly 5,000 dogs that served
there during the war, only about
200 returned. The rest were eu-
thanized, abandoned or handed
over to the South Vietnamese Ar-
my, which largely viewed dogs as
a food source.
The war, by the time we were
pulling out, was so unpopular
that theywere tryingtosweepev-
erything under the rug, and un-
fortunately, all those dogs got
swept under the rug, too, he
added.
But in late 2000, a new law
went into effect that changed the
militarys policy of euthanizing
military working dogs once they
had outlived their purpose.
Introducing the Robby Law
Under the Robby Law, any
war dogs that are deemedsafe for
civilians can be adopted by law-

Military working dogs have been
serving alongside U.S. troops since
World War I.
Of the thousands of military
working dogs that served in Viet-
nam, only about 200 returned to
the United States.
Roughly 3,000 war dogs are
serving at locations around the
world.
It is a punishable offense in the
military to mistreat a dog.
Military working dogs are treat-
ed for post-traumatic stress dis-
order.
More than 300 retired war dogs
are put up for adoption every year.

enforcement agencies, military
handlers and the public. Unfortu-
nately, the law came too late to
save its namesake, a mostly
healthy, 8-year-old Belgian mali-
nois who was euthanized after he
completed his final mission.
Robbys handler applied to
adopt him once he returned to
Lackland, and when his request
was turned down, the handler
turned to the media, Rogak
wrote. The public outcry prompt-
ed legislators to draft the Robby
Law, which President Bill Clin-
ton signed in late 2000.
Unfortunately, Robby had a
slight caseof hipdysplasiaandar-
thritis, and his condition had de-
teriorated significantly by the
time the law passed.
In the end, there was no
choice but to euthanize him, Ro-
gak wrote.
Still, military working dogs
that have become too disabled or
old to serve are, to this day, con-
sidered obsolete equipment,
according to Aiello.
The same year the Robby
Law went intoeffect, he andsev-
eral other former handlers
formedtheU.S. War Dogs Associ-
ation (www.uswardogs.org),
with the goal of raising public
awareness about the role of war
dogs. And, in memory of the loy-
al, four-leggedpartners they were
forced to leave behind in Viet-
nam, the group also raises funds
to erect memorials, honoring
their decades of service andsacri-
fice.
In2006, for example, the group
dedicated the first-ever U.S. War
Dogs Memorial in Holmdel, N.J.
Meanwhile, another Vietnam
handler is working to raise funds
to build a national monument,
one that honors the dogs that
have been saving lives for nearly
100 years. For information, go to
www.jbmf.us.
And earlier this month, Sen.
Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn.,
introduced a bill that, if passed,
will greatly improve war dogs
golden years by improving the
adoption process, establishing a
fund to help cover their health
care costs and allowing them to
receive letters of commendation.

Holy Redeemer High School recently held its annual test results night for prospective new students
and families. Students in eighth grade in one of the six elementary schools in the Holy Redeemer System
took a placement test earlier in the year. Test results, along with grades and student preference, will be
used to help students select an academic track at Holy Redeemer. Students and families also heard pre-
sentations by school administration and students about academic and student programs and were able
to make appointments for individual meetings with school staff to discuss curriculum. Students interest-
ed in enrolling for the 2012-2013 school year should do so by March 2 to ensure placement. Applications
for financial assistance are also available. Some of the test results night participants, from left: Cody
Januszko, Holy Redeemer student, Wilkes-Barre; Anita Sirak, principal; Carrie, Ray and Sharon Kinney,
Hunlock Creek; Norb, Dylan and Suzanne Swithers, Wilkes-Barre; and Danielle Gorski, Holy Redeemer
student, Wilkes-Barre.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TOALLDAMA
TRASH CUSTOMERS
Due to the overwhelming positive response by DAMA solid waste and recycling
customers in the adoption of single-stream recycling, and to help manage the
increased volume of recyclable materials generated as a result of this innovative
collection method, effective the week of February 20, 2012, we will change the
collection of recycling from every other week to a weekly collection. The recycling
format will remain single-stream, however, you will now be able to place all of
your recycling to include paper, glass, plastic and metal cans, curbside in the same
container for collection every week. This change should help ease the burden on
both our customers and the DAMA solid waste division staff, and allow the program
to operate more effciently. During the month of January alone, DAMA collected
approximately 25,000 bags of trash and 144 tons of recycling from our residents.
Please remember the following program guidelines:
Trash & Recycling must be placed curbside by 6:00 AM on the day of your
collection. Trash must be placed in bags, no loose garbage.
There is a two bag, or two standard 33 gallon containers, limit on trash.
Additional trash must have extra bag stickers. Please place recycling curbside in
open containers or clear plastic bags.
Coal & wood ashes must be bagged or boxed, and marked ashes, as these are
removed at no charge to our residents and do not count against your bag limit.
Thank you for your patience and support of this program,

The Times Leader allows you to
decide how your wedding notice
reads, with a few caveats.
Wedding announcements run in
Sundays People section, with
black-and-white photos, free of
charge.
Articles must be limited to 220
words, and we reserve the right to
edit announcements that exceed
that word count. Announcements
must be typed or submitted via
www.timesleader.com. (Click on
the "people" tab, then weddings
and follow the instructions from
there.) Submissions must include
a daytime contact phone number
and must be received within 10
months of the wedding date. We
do not run first-year anniversary
announcements or announce-
ments of weddings that took place
more than a year ago. (Wedding
photographers often can supply
you with a black-and-white proof
in advance of other album pho-
tographs.)
All other social announcements
must be typed and include a day-
time contact phone number.
Announcements of births at local
hospitals are submitted by hospi-
tals and published on Sundays.
Out-of-town announcements
with local connections also are
accepted. Photos are only accept-
ed with baptism, dedication or
other religious-ceremony an-
nouncements but not birth an-
nouncements.
Engagement announcements
must be submitted at least one
month before the wedding date to
guarantee publication and must
include the wedding date. We
cannot publish engagement an-
nouncements once the wedding
has taken place.
Anniversary photographs are
published free of charge at the
10th wedding anniversary and
subsequent five-year milestones.
Other anniversaries will be pub-
lished, as space allows, without
photographs.

NAMES AND FACES
Sprague

ly have seven soups available
on any given day and rotate
new ones in every week. Some
of the specialty soups have in-
cluded chicken wing and lasag-
na flavors. They are all deli-
cious.
You are into coupon clip-
ping?Afriend of mine showed
me a picture of items that were
worth $100 that she ended up
getting for just four dollars.
That got me into saving that
way.
Its easier thanpeoplethink.
I would just say to focus on one
store or one item in the begin-
ning. Get the feel for how a
store or company operates and
what their policies are and you
will get the hang of things on
the larger scale eventually. I
love the way I feel when I see
the savings at the bottom of a
receipt.
What do you like to do away
from work? I am very family-
oriented. I love Sunday drives
to nowhere and family dinners
with Bobby and Olivia, or being
with my extended family and
cousins.
Any favorite places to ven-
ture to in Northeast Pa.? We
love going to Kelseys Restau-
rant in Ashley and seeing
shows and concerts at the Mo-
hegan Sun Arena.
How about places you
would like to visit or have
been to outside of Pa.? My
grandparents live near Disney
World and we love visiting Cin-
derellas Castle there as well as
all the other attractions. We
would love to go back there
again. South Beach, Miami was
also fun. As for a place I would
like to go with my family in the
future? I would have to say Ita-
ly, on a Mediterranean Cruise.
Doyouhaveafavoritesport
or team? I like watching base-
ball with my husband. We are
into the Cleveland Indians.
How about a favorite book
or movie?I lovetheHarryPot-
ter book series, and as far as
movies go, Hocus Pocus and
Stand By Me.
Are there any quotes that
youadmire?Thequickest way
to double your money is to fold
it over and put it back in your
pocket. Will Rogers
Howabout afavoritefoodor
drink? Impartial to steak and
lobster with a Malibu Sea
Breeze.
Whats playing on your CD

and that is very special. I have
to go back to family though. My
husband and daughter are my
life. Olivia is like my number
one fan and she is crazy about
me and wants to be like me al-
ready, at the age of 2. She
makes me so very proud. Be-
coming a mom was my proud-
est moment.

PEBBLEBEACH, Calif. Comingoff an
early bogey that put him eight shots be-
hind, Tiger Woods was ina bunker to
the left of the13thfairway at Pebble
Beach when he cut a 9-iron too
much, sending it right of the
green toward deep rough.
The ball caromed off a
mound and onto the green
and started rolling. And
rolling. When it finally set-
tled a foot below the hole,
and the gallerys cheers
grew increasingly louder,
Woods hung his head and
smiled.
He went from possible
bogey to unlikely birdie.

THRUST ON-
TO footballs
grandest stage
in front of
thousands of
screaming fans
and millions
more around
the world watching him, Henry
Hynoski wasnt about to buckle.
Instead, he buckled down.
His bullish blocking drove
defenders 5 yards away from the
football.
His relentless running after a
couple catches out of the back-
field had announcers criticizing
the players he flattened.
And his understated yet un-
dying determination typified
this years New York Giants and
helped them win Super Bowl
XLVI.
I was told it was probably my
best game all year, Hynoski
said this week, while basking in
the New York excitement fol-
lowing last Sundays 21-17 Super
Bowl victory over the New
England Patriots. It couldnt
have come at a better time.
To bring his best to the big
game, Hynoski went back in
time.
He remembered how he
rushed for 3,234 yards and 41
touchdowns in 20 state playoff
games for Southern Columbia
High School, including a PIAA-
record 409-yard, six-touchdown
performance against Pius X as a
sophomore. He conjured up his
old feelings about how it felt to
score three touchdowns and
accumulate 235 rushing and
passing yards in his final high
school game, which produced a
third consecutive state title for
Hynoski at Southern Columbia.
And he carried those memo-
ries onto the Super Bowl stage
as a rookie fullback for the New
York Giants.
Ready for the build up
You know, in high school
that was the biggest thing in my
life at that point, Hynoski said.
That meant everything. Each
stage was fitting for the format
in my life. Being able to play in
the state championship and the
bowl games I played in (at the
University of Pittsburgh) helped
me get ready and build up for an
event like this.
Of course, he said about the
Super Bowl, this one was big-
ger than all of them combined.
He melded nerves of steel
solidified by his illustrious past
with his iron will, forging the
kind of inner strength it takes to
become a champion. While
others past and present grew
weak-kneed walking into their
first Super Bowl, Hynoski
couldnt wait.
I wasnt nervous, the son of
Henry and Kathy Hynoski of
Elysburg said. It was just ex-
citement. I was just anxious. It
just got to the point where we
just wanted to play the game.
You cant go into a football
game being nervous.
More than once, Hynoski
made the Patriots appear pan-
icky.
He pushed around Patriots
linebackers and defensive backs,
creating plenty of space for
running backs Ahmad Bradshaw
and Brandon Jacobs to bolt
through for 114 yards rushing.

COLUMBUS, Ohio Adreian Payne scored15
points, Draymond Green had 12 and defense-
minded No. 11 Michigan State beat No. 3 Ohio
State 58-48 Saturday night, ending the Buckeyes
39-game home winning streak.
The Spartans (20-5, 9-3) pulled into a tie with
the Buckeyes (21-4, 9-3) for first place in the Big
Ten.
KeithAppling had14 points for MichiganState,
which rode its smothering pressure to a 10-point
halftime lead and never relented down the
stretch. Payne finished6 for 6 fromthe fieldand3
for 4 on free throws.
Jared Sullinger had17 points and16 rebounds
for Ohio State, but was 5 for 15 from the field.
Aaron Craft added 15 points, but Deshaun Tho-
mas and William Buford, averaging a combined
WILKES-BARRE TWP.
Coming into Saturdays game
against the Portland Pirates, the
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pen-
guins found themselves in a
place that hasnt been good to
them this season.
In the 14 games that the Pen-
guins have trailed after the sec-
ond period this season, they lost
13 of them. When they entered
the third period trailing the Pi-
rates 3-1, the odds werent onthe
Penguins side.
But the rookies changed that.
Brian Gibbons and Paul
Thompson connected for third
period goals to erase a two-goal
deficit, and Thompson set up
Alexandre Picards game-win-
ner in overtime to give the Pen-
guins a come-from-behind 4-3
win over the Pirates.
Those guys really stepped
up, said head coach John
Hynes. We went to them nu-
merous times inthe thirdperiod
because they had some energy
and some jump.
ThewinallowedthePenguins
tokeeppacewithSt. Johns, who
remain three points ahead for
first place in the Eastern Confer-
ence. The Penguins improve to
29-13-2-5 on the season.
Portland got off to a quick
start when David Rundblad sent
a wrister past Brad Thiessen
just 18 seconds into the game.
The Pirates went up 2-0 when
Rundblad scored again, this
time sending a shot underneath
an unsuspecting Thiessen at
9:07.

WILKES-BARRE The en-
tire Kings bench knew the shot
was going down. The Lady
Monarchs wastednotime inrac-
ing onto the court after it did.
Paige Carlin was mobbed by
teammates after scoring her
1,000th career point in the sec-
ond half of the Lady Monarchs
53-41 win over Manhattanville
on Saturday at Scandlon Gym-
nasium.
Playing in her final regular
seasonhomegame, Carlinmade
it memorable, hitting two key
threes to give life to a struggling
offense and help the Lady Mon-
archs (20-3, 12-0) pull away for
their 13th straight win.
Everybody absolutely knew
(it was her 1,000th), but it was
also a huge shot inthe game and
a huge shot at the moment,
Kings coach Brian Donoghue
said. So I think that made it
that much more special not only
for Paige, but definitely for the
group.
Her teammates wereveryex-
cited about it, as they should be,
and the staff was excited about
it. It was a huge basketball play
at that moment. Hopefully that
just adds to the appreciation for
it and for her.
The shot came with 9:27 to
play and gave Carlin exactly
1,000 points over her four years,
making her the 18th player in
program history to hit the mile-
stone. She finished with a game-
high 15 points.
One of five players to be hon-
oredonsenior day, Carlinjoined
Nina Magan, Abby Malloy, Brit-
tany Muscatell and Samantha
Simcox in the starting lineup.
Kings struggled on the offen-
sive end in the first half no mat-
ter which combination was on
the floor, shooting just 21 per-

N E X T F I V E G A M E S
ROBERT BORTUZZO
Penguins defenseman
Robert Bortuzzos fantasy team is
pretty crowded. Its not because he
had more positions to fill, but rather
he chose an entire coaching staff
under the head coach category and a
set of twins to run his power play. It
makes sense. A coaching staff works
together within the team concept, so
why not? And the twins well Bortuz-
zo said theyre basically interchange-
able so it counts as one. Makes sense.
For his All-Time Great, Bortuzzo
reflected on the stories that his grand-
father told him about Bobby Orr and
was ready to pick him, but then he
thought about a documentary he
watched recently and changed his
mind. What was the documentary
about? Read on to find out.
FORWARD Pavel Datsyuk (De-
troit), I like the way he plays at both
ends of the ice. Hes a talented guy
whose work ethic has made him one
of the top players in the league.
DEFENSEMAN Nicklas Lidstrom
(Detroit), Hes over 40 and still play-
ing at an incredible level. Hes always
been my favorite player, and he shows
why every time he plays.
GOALTENDER Cam Ward (Car-
olina), Me and (Brad) Thiessen argue
about this one a lot. I just like the way
Cam Ward plays and I bet hell be on
Team Canada in the next couple Olym-
pics.
POWER PLAY SPECIALIST(S)
The Sedin twins, Henrik and Daniel
(Vancouver), Theyre interchangeable
and they control the power play with
their poise and vision. Its really im-
pressive.
PENALTY KILL SPECIALIST
Zdeno Chara (Boston), His reach and
shot blocking ability are incredible,
and he can really take away space on
the power play.
SHOOTOUT SPECIALIST Evgeni
Malkin (Pittsburgh), Hes on fire right
now. Hes got it figured out and he
buries it just about every time.
ENFORCER Deryk Engelland
(Pittsburgh), What he was able to do
last year was pretty impressive. He
almost doesnt have to fight as much
now because hes kind of backed some
guys off.
AGITATOR/PEST Patrick Kaleta
(Buffalo), Hes always mixing it up
there. Hes a good player who also
brings that edge.
HEAD COACH Pittsburgh Pen-
guins coaching staff, They all have
done a nice job with some of the in-
juries theyve been faced with and still
remain in the upper echelon of the
league.
ALL-TIME GREAT Mario Lemieux
(Pittsburgh), I watched a documen-
tary on him the other day, and some
of the stuff he accomplished in the
amount of time he
played is
very im-
pressive.
Fantasy GM
Boston
Bruins
Zdeno
Chara want to assume anything and
you cant be satisfied that you
were called up. You have to
keep doing the things theyre
looking for and hopefully youll
get back.
With more than 450 NHL
games to his credit, Williams
Colin McDonald just wrap-
ped up playing in his second
AHL All-Star game and was
ready to join his family and
friends for a day in Atlantic
City when a phone call shat-
tered those plans.
He was needed in Pitts-
burgh, and he had to get there
before the Penguins game
against Toronto the next
night.
I thought I would be able to
head home before there was a
chance I could get called up. I
shouldve looked at Pitts-
burghs schedule over the all-
star break, McDonald said.
Such is the life of a pro hock-
ey player.
McDo-
nalds fam-
ily and
friends al-
ready had
a hotel
room re-
served, so
they spent
an extra
night in
Atlantic
City with-
out him.
They
could care
less. They
were just
extremely
happy for
me,
McDonald
said.
They un-
derstand
the situa-
tion Im
in.
Its a sit-
uation
that
McDonald
didnt ex-
perience
very often during his first four
seasons playing in the Edmon-
ton organization. He was sum-
moned to the NHL just once
in 2009, for a two-game stint
with the Oilers. McDonald
scored a goal in his second
gamebut never got a returntrip
back.
Thats why McDonald is
more than happy to drop his
plans at a moments notice
when Pittsburgh calls, which
happened twice so far this sea-
son.
It took me two years to get
back to the NHL. I have a good
opportunity here, he said.
It was the second time this
season that McDonald had
been recalled to Pittsburgh,
and he accepts the fact that a
players personal life often
takes a backseat to hockey.
When I had a girlfriend in
the past when you try to plan a
weekend together, and you get
called up a day or two before
she gets in, McDonald said.
She has tobe understandingof
the environment were in.
If anyone knows howquickly
things can change, its Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton forward Jason
Williams. Hes beencalledupto
Pittsburgh five times this sea-
son, more than anyone on the
AHL Penguins.
Three of those call-ups were
for one day, long enough for
Williams to play a game with
Pittsburgh and return the next
day.
Sometimes its tough.
Youre getting called up and
thrown into the mix right
away, Williams said. Every
time Ive been called up it was
the day of the game. You drive
four hours to get there or fly,
and you try to get there right at
game time and play.
Its just something you have
to deal with as a professional.
When youre names called you
hit the road and perform at
your best when you get there.
Although McDonald hasnt
been up and down as much as
Williams, he knows how valua-
ble each call-up is, no matter
how disruptive it may be to a
players personal life.
His father, Gerry McDonald,
spent two seasons in the early
1980s bouncing between the
Hartford Whalers in the NHL
and the Binghamton Whalers
of the AHL.
He gave his son a little advice
on how to deal with the uncer-
tainty that comes with playing
pro hockey.
He always said that you
have to think of every game as a
tryout, and thats my mindset,
McDonald said. You never
has a bit of a different approach
when he gets reassigned. He
said maintaining a strong work
ethic andnot worryingsomuch
about putting up numbers is
the key to getting a return trip
to the NHL.
I can come down here, score
five goals and it doesnt mean
its going to get me there, Wil-
liams said. But if Im the har-
dest working player, that will
give you the best chance to get
back. You cant come down and
go through the motions or veer
away from what got you there.
They called you up for a reason
because you do something
well. Thats the mindset you
need to have.
McDonald added that its al-
so important to leave a lasting
impression while up with the
big club. That can be challeng-
ing, he said, because ice time is
often limited.
Thats why McDonald puts a
lot of emphasis not only in the
games he plays with Pitts-
burgh, but the practices he par-
ticipates in as well.
It even carries over to the
way he conducts himself off the
ice.
I sat for a couple of games
while I was up there, and I
didnt want to be moping
around, McDonaldsaid. I had
to be positive and work hard in
practice and be good in the
locker room. Whether it gets
noticed I dont know, but its all
part of being a professional.
When you are toiling in the minor leagues, you never know
when that big break a game (or two) in The Show will come

SYRACUSE, N.Y. Scoop
Jardine sparked a game-decid-
ing rally with 3-pointers on
consecutive possessions in the
closing minutes, and No. 2
Syracuse beat Connecticut
85-67 on Saturday.
Jardine had a season-high 21
points as Syracuse (25-1, 12-1
Big East) earned its fifth con-
secutive win since suffering its
only loss of the season at Notre
Dame.
Connnecticut trailed the
entire second half but closed to
63-61 on a free throw by Tyler
Olander with 6:26 to go.
Jardine, who had six assists
and only one turnover, then hit
3-pointers from the right side as
the Orange closed the game
with a 19-3 surge. Jardine also
hit a layup and another 3 from
the top of the key to key the
rally. Jeremy Lamb scored 18
points for Connecticut (15-9,
5-7).
No. 1 Kentucky 69,
Vanderbilt 63
NASHVILLE, Tenn. Doron
Lamb hit a 3-pointer with 3:18
left to put No. 1 Kentucky ahead
to stay, and the Wildcats took a
big step toward a Southeastern
Conference regular-season title
by beating Vanderbilt 69-63
Saturday night for their 17th
straight win.
Kentucky (25-1, 11-0) dis-
rupted Vanderbilt with aggres-
sive defense in the first half,
and the Wildcats held off a
furious charge in a sold-out and
electric Memorial Gym by
scoring the final eight points of
the game.
No. 4 Missouri 72,
No. 6 Baylor 57
COLUMBIA, Mo. Phil
Pressey scored 19 points, mak-
ing four of No. 4 Missouris
season-best 14 3-pointers, and
the Tigers beat Baylor.
Sixth man Michael Dixon
also had four 3-pointers and
Marcus Denmon added three
for Missouri (23-2, 10-2 Big 12),
which shot 50 percent from
long range.
Missouri is 14-0 at home and
got an easier test a week after
needing an 11-0 run to beat
Kansas by three. Both games
were sellouts although the
matchup against Baylor (21-4,
8-4), carrying a higher ranking,
failed to match that atmo-
sphere.
No. 5 North Carolina 70,
No. 19 Virginia 52
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. Tyler
Zeller had 25 points and nine
rebounds to help No. 5 North
Carolina beat No. 19 Virginia.
Harrison Barnes added 14
points and 11 rebounds for the
Tar Heels (21-4, 8-2 Atlantic
Coast Conference), who re-
grouped from Wednesday
nights stunning loss to rival
Duke on a last-second 3-pointer.
North Carolina blew the game
open with a 22-5 run that start-
ed early in the second half, with
Zeller scoring seven points
during the spurt that pushed
the Tar Heels to a 15-point lead
with about 6
1
2 minutes left.
No. 7 Kansas 81,
Oklahoma State 66
LAWRENCE, Kan. Jeff
Withey and Thomas Robinson
each logged impressive double-
doubles for No. 7 Kansas, which
wasted a big chunk of a 29-
point second-half cushion be-
fore pulling away for a victory
over Oklahoma State.
Withey finished with 18
points and a career-best 20
rebounds, while Robinson bur-
nished his player of the year
credentials with 24 points and
14 boards for his 18th double-
double of the season.
Tennessee 75,
No. 8 Florida 70
GAINESVILLE, Fla. Trae
Golden scored 17 points, Je-
ronne Maymon added 15 points
and 11 rebounds, and Tennessee
upset No. 8 Florida, ending the
Gators home-winning streak at
19.
Coming off a 20-point loss at
top-ranked Kentucky and wear-
ing gray uniforms to commemo-
rate the programs back-to-back
national championships in 2006
and 2007, Florida trailed by
double digits early and never
mustered anything resembling
a comeback.
No. 9 Murray State 82,
Austin Peay 62
MURRAY, Ky. Isaiah Ca-
naan had 23 points and six
assists as No. 9 Murray State
bounced back from its first loss
of the season to beat Austin
Peay 82-62 on Saturday night.
Ivan Aska and Jewuan Long
added 12 points for the Racers
(24-1, 12-1 Ohio Valley Confer-
ence). On Thursday night,
Murray State became the last
team in Division I to lose this
season when it fell to Tennessee
State.
No. 10 Duke 73, Maryland 55
DURHAM, N.C. Miles
Plumlee had 13 points and a
career-high 22 rebounds, and
No. 10 Duke pulled away to
beat Maryland.
Seth Curry scored 19 points
and Mason Plumlee added 16
points and 10 rebounds while
big brother Miles became the
first Duke player with 20 re-
bounds since Elton Brand in
1998.
The Blue Devils (21-4, 8-2
Atlantic Coast Conference)
followed up their last-second
victory over rival North Car-
olina with their fifth straight
victory in the series. They built
a 48-33 rebounding advantage
but struggled to separate them-
selves on the scoreboard until
they closed the game with a
13-2 run.
No. 14 UNLV 65,
No. 13 San Diego State 63
LAS VEGAS Mike Moser
scored 19 points and made a
key steal that sent No. 14 UNLV
past No. 13 San Diego State.
The Runnin Rebels (22-4, 6-2
Mountain West) had several
defensive stops in the closing
minute to win.
Mosers steal and pass set up
Anthony Marshall for the go-
ahead layup. Moser missed his
first five shots before finding his
touch.
No. 15 Florida State 64,
Miami 59
TALLAHASSEE, Fla.
Bernard James scored 15 of his
18 points in the second half and
No. 15 Florida State snapped
Miamis five-game winning
streak.
Michael Snaer had 12 points
and Ian Miller finished with 11
for Florida State (17-7, 8-2 At-
lantic Coast Conference), which

triple-double.
Penn State senior Cammeron
Woodyard chipped in with 14
points and tied a career-high
with four 3-pointers to help the

30 points, totaled just 12.
The Spartans held the Buck-
eyes almost 30 points under
their average of 76.9 points a
game. Ohio State shot just 26
percent fromthe field(14for 53).
Ahead 35-25 at the half, the
Spartans weathered an early
Ohio State assault.
A quick field goal by Thomas
and two Sullinger free throws
pulled the Buckeyes within six,
but it was alsoapparent that Sull-
inger, in particular, was growing
frustrated by the defensive focus
from the Spartans. He yelled af-
ter being fouled by Payne at the
18:27 mark, with Green then
knocking the ball out of his
hands.
Later, Sullinger and Green
ended up on the floor after tan-
gling on a rebound. But that was
the last skirmish between the
two frontrunners for Big Ten
player of the year.
Sullinger finished with 10
turnovers Ohio State totaled
15.
Green had nine rebounds, two
assists and a steal to go with his
12 points. He drew extra atten-
tion every time he touched the
ball, but Ohio State was not able
to neutralize himas the Spartans
did Sullinger.
Despite the early surge by
Ohio State, things still didnt
change for the Spartans. Sullin-
ger seldom if ever got an open
viewof the hoop and Buford and
Thomas failedtorelievethepres-
sure by hitting perimeter shots.
Buford had what appeared to
be an open lane to the basket but
Payne blocked the shot, with Ap-
plingscoringquicklyat the other
end to make it 44-34.
Swapping body blows and oc-
casional buckets, the teams sol-
diered on. Ohio State pulled to
44-40 on a 15-footer by Sullinger,
but Appling hit two free throws
and Nix coaxed in a baby hook to
push the lead back to eight and
set up a wild last 4 1/2 minutes.
Payne banking in a shot over
Sullinger, before Sullinger was
called for a charge to pick up his
fourth foul. That caused Ohio
State coach Thad Matta to call
over official Mike Kitts to com-
plain before a media timeout.
Green then drove the baseline
on Thomas for a layup to stretch
the lead to 10.
Ohio State never got closer
than eight again.
The teams will meet again in
the regular-season finale on
March 4 in East Lansing, Mich.
TheBuckeyes hadwonthelast
three meetings, although Michi-
gan State has nowwon six of the
last eight in Columbus.
There were few surprises in a
first half that was both physical
and dominated by defense.
Payne made all five of his shots
from the field and led all scorers
with 11 points. At the other end,
the Spartans surrounded Sullin-
ger whenever he got the ball low.
As aresult, hewas just 2of 6from
the field with some awkward at-
tempts in traffic. He did have
nine points and eight rebounds,
but alsowas forcedintofive turn-
overs.
With Ohio State ahead 9-4 af-
ter the opening 5 minutes, the
Spartans stepped up their defen-
sive pressure. The Buckeyes did
not have a field goal for more
than 9 minutes while Michigan
State outscored them18-7 all
seven points coming at the line.
Ohio State had not lost at
home since falling to Purdue two
years ago.

PHILADELPHIA Ryan
Callahan scored three goals,
helping the New York Rangers
continue their dominance
over Philadelphia with a 5-2
victory on Saturday.
Marian Gaborik and Artem
Anisimov also had goals for
the Eastern Conference-lead-
ing Rangers, whove won
seven straight against the
Flyers.
It was a rare display on
special teams that catapulted
the Rangers to their second
victory over Philadelphia in
seven days. New York had a
season-high three goals on the
power play and improved to
5-0 against the Flyers this
season, including a 3-2 win in
the Winter Classic.
The Rangers increased their
lead to six points over the
Flyers in the Atlantic Division
and also have two games in
hand.
Claude Giroux and Wayne
Simmonds had Philadelphias
goals. The Flyers have lost
four of five.
Penguins 8, Jets 5
PITTSBURGH Evgeni
Malkin added to his NHL-
leading point total, scoring a
goal and dishing out four
assists as the Pittsburgh Pen-
guins rolled past the Winni-
peg Jets.
Kris Letang scored twice
and had an assist for the Pen-
guins. Richard Park notched
his 100th career NHL goal,
and Jordan Staal scored in his
first game after missing more
than a month with a left knee
injury.
James Neal, Chris Kunitz
and Dustin Jeffery also scored
for the Penguins, who erased
an early 2-0 deficit and won
their fifth straight home
game.
Islanders 2, Kings 1, OT
UNIONDALE, N.Y. Mark
Streits goal 1:36 into overtime
lifted the New York Islanders
over the Los Angeles Kings.
The Islanders captain split
the Kings defense and beat
goalie Jonathan Quick with a
backhander for this fifth goal
this season. Matt Moulson
and Andrew MacDonald
earned assists.
The Islanders (23-23-8)
improved to 7-2-2 in their last
11 games, but the Kings (26-
19-11) continued to struggle
on their six-game road trip.
Michael Grabner scored his
15th goal at 6:52 of the first,
sliding a loose puck past
Quick.
Andrei Loktionov scored his
first goal of the season to tie it
for the Kings at 5:20 of the
second period. The rebound
goal originally was credited to
captain Dustin Brown.
Panthers 3, Devils 1
NEWARK, N.J. Scott
Clemmensen stopped 27
shots against his former team
and the Florida Panthers beat
the New Jersey Devils.
Sean Bergenheim, Kris
Versteeg and Mikael Samuels-
son scored for the Panthers,
who have won four of six.
Florida stretched its South-
east Division-lead over Wash-
ington to two points with just
its second road win in 12
games.
Steve Bernier scored for the
Devils and Martin Brodeur
made 18 saves, but New Jer-
sey has lost two straight for
the first time since a three-
game skid from Jan. 19-24.
Bruins 4, Predators 3, SO
BOSTON Tyler Seguin
and Patrice Bergeron scored
shootout goals to lift the Bos-
ton Bruins to a win over the
Nashville Predators.
Boston forced overtime
when Milan Lucic scored a
power-play goal with 67 sec-
onds left in regulation after
goalie Tim Thomas was
pulled for an extra skater.
Daniel Paille and Bergeron
also scored for the Bruins,
who had lost seven of 12.
Thomas stopped 19 shots in
regulation, and then turned
aside Sergei Kostitsyn and
Martin Erat in the shootout.
Oilers 4, Senators 3
OTTAWA Taylor Hall
scored 17 seconds into over-
time and the Edmonton Oilers
snapped a two-game losing
streak with a win over the
Ottawa Senators.
Hall backhanded a rebound
past Craig Anderson for his
19th goal as Edmonton im-
proved to 5-2-1 in its last eight
games.
Magnus Paajarvi scored his
first goal of the season and
assisted on Shawn Horcoffs
tally 42 seconds into the third.
Horcoff also assisted on Halls
goal.
Lightning 2, Sabres 1
BUFFALO, N.Y. Steven
Stamkos had a goal and assist,
and the resurgent Tampa Bay
Lightning beat the Buffalo
Sabres for their seventh win
in 10 games.
Mathieu Garon made 26
saves, and Steve Downie also
scored during the Lightnings
two-goal second period. Tam-
pa Bay (24-24-6) is on a 7-1-2
roll and has earned at least a
point in a season-high four
straight road games (3-0-1).
Canadiens 5, Maple Leafs 0
TORONTO Carey Price
turned aside 32 shots, and the
Montreal Canadiens ham-
mered Toronto after the Ma-
ple Leafs retired the number
of longtime former captain
Mats Sundin.
It was the third straight loss
for the Maple Leafs, who
remained in eighth place in
the Eastern Conference. Mon-
treal has won four in a row
and is seven points back of
the postseason cutoff.
Erik Cole, Rene Bourque,
Max Pacioretty, Lars Eller and
Mathieu Darche scored goals
for the Canadiens (23-24-9).

riks goal as Philadelphia Flyers Sean Couturier skates by in the first period Saturday.
Rangers ground Flyers again
And with five birdies in a six-
hole stretch, he went fromthe pe-
riphery of contention to the thick
of it Saturdayinthe Pebble Beach
National Pro-Am, another step
toward showing his game is on
the way back.
Looked like I was having a
tough time making par, and I was
making birdie, and off we go,
Woods said. Sometimes, we
need those types of momentum
swings in a round, and from
there, I made some putts.
If nothing else, he made it in-
teresting going into the final
round of his PGA Tour debut.
Charlie Wi playedbogey-free at
Spyglass Hill for a 3-under 69 to
build a three-shot lead over Ken
Duke, who had a 65 on the Shore
Course at Monterey Peninsula.
Woods had a 5-under 67, his
best Saturday score on the PGA
Tour since the 2010 U.S. Open at
Pebble Beach, and climbed with-
in four shots of the lead. Its the
closest he has been to a 54-hole
leader on the PGATour since the
2010 Masters.
Saturday at Pebble is all about
thestars, as CBSSports tradition-
ally devotes its coverage to celeb-
rities, from Ray Romano to Bill
Murray dressed in camouflage
while throwing a football to for-
mer San Francisco 49ers lineman
Harris Barton.
Sunday will have some star
power of its own.
Not only is Woods in the penul-
timate group right in front of
two players who have never won
on the PGA Tour he will be in
the same group as longtime nem-
esis Phil Mickelson, who hada 70
at Pebble Beach despite playing
the par 5s in 1 over.
Still inthe mixis two-time Peb-
bleBeachchampionDustinJohn-
son, former world No. 1 Vijay
Singh and three-time major
champion Padraig Harrington,
who was two shots off the lead at
one point until a sloppy finish at
Spyglass for a 72.
Wi is 0-for-162onthe PGATour
andnowhas tofacehis demons of
self-doubt along with a famil-
iar force in golf.
Woods couldnt convert a share
of the third-round lead with Rob-
ert Rock two weeks ago in Abu
Dhabi, but he is showing an up-
ward trend. He has given himself
a chance to win on the back nine
of his last four stroke-play tourna-
ments.
With a new swing, its starting
to look like the old Tiger.
But the scenario doesnt
change, Woods said. The ulti-
mate goal is to win a golf tourna-
ment.
Thats something Wi has never
done. He was at 15-under 199,
and he has a 54-hole lead for only
the secondtime ontour. He hada
one-shot lead at Colonial last
year and was runner-up to David
Toms.
This time, Wi will be in the last
group with someone in a familiar
spot. Duke is winless in 142
starts.
The last two weeks havent
been too kind to 54-hole leaders,
either. Kyle Stanley lost a five-
shot lead at Torrey Pines, and
Spencer Levin blew a six-shot
lead the following week in the
Phoenix Open. Both were going
for their first PGA Tour win.
Your turn, Charlie.
I havent really thought about
that, Wi said, when asked if it
were a blessing or a burden to be
in front. But I enjoy being in the
lead. Its a lot more fun than try-
ing to come from behind. I know
that tonight is going to be very
exciting, and Im sure I wont
sleep as well as if Im in 50th
place. But thats what we play for,
and Im really excited.
Woods was at 11-under 203,
having lost some momentum on
the front nine at Pebble by mis-
sing a few fairways and hitting
some ordinary wedge shots. He
closed with seven pars.
Mickelson was at 9-under 205,
along with Johnson and Hunter
Mahan. Harrington was at 206,
while another stroke back were
Singh and Geoff Ogilvy.
Wi is No. 175 in the world,
while Duke is at No. 258. They
have combined for 304 starts
without a win. Right behind
them are Woods and Mickelson,
who have combinedfor18 majors
and 110 PGA Tour wins.
With a short burst of birdies, it
lookedas thoughWoods was hav-
ing a blast.

CLEVELAND Jrue Holli-
day scored 20 points to lead six
Philadelphia players in double
figures as the 76ers rolled to a
99-84 win over the short-hand-
ed Cleveland Cavaliers on Sat-
urday night.
Philadelphia bounced back
from a difficult home loss to the
Los Angeles Clippers on Friday
night to break a season-high
two-game losing streak.
Cleveland, which dropped an
overtime decision to Milwaukee
at home on Friday, played with-
out two of its three leading
scorers. The team announced
before the game that center
Anderson Varejao will be side-
lined indefinitely because of a
broken right wrist sustained
Friday. Rookie point guard
Kyrie Irving missed his third
straight game with a concus-
sion.
Antawn Jamison led Cleve-
land with 20 points, while Ra-
mon Sessions starting in
place of Irving scored 19
points and had eight assists.
Lou Williams scored 19 points
and Thaddeus Young added 16
for Philadelphia.
Clippers 111, Bobcats 86
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Chris
Paul, Blake Griffin, and
DeAndre Jordan all had double-
doubles after three quarters as
the Los Angeles Clippers hand-
ed the dreadful Charlotte Bob-
cats yet another lopsided loss.
Paul toyed with the Bobcats,
finishing with 18 points and 14
assists in only 28 minutes.
Kemba Walker had 19 points
for the Bobcats, whove lost a
franchise-record 14 straight and
are on pace to match a dubious
NBA record.
At 3-24, the Bobcats winning
percentage (.125) equals that of
the NBAs all-time worst fran-
chise, the 1972-73 Philadelphia
76ers. The 76ers finished 9-72.

son scored 27 points to lead the

Soccer has been taking Crest-
woods Hannah Coffin places for
years.
Now it will take her to Alaba-
ma-Birmingham, where she will
play Division I soccer and con-
tinue her studies.
Ive been to a lot of show-
cases all around the country, and
Ive gotten a lot of exposure,
Coffin said. Im thrilled with it
(UAB). Its down south, warm,
and has my major. Im going to
be a biology major and stay on
after for med school. My goal is
to become an orthopedic sur-
geon.
The Blazers feature a young
team, with only two juniors on
the roster in 2011. Coffin is part
of a large recruiting class 10
athletes in all and is the only
member of the team from north
of the Mason-Dixon Line.
Though she didnt start play-
ing soccer until she was 12, the
daughter of Daniel and Diane
Coffin is now playing in one of
the biggest leagues in the coun-
try, Conference USA.
I think Im the farthest north
(of any of the recruits), Coffin
said. Ive been playing for a club
team out of Baltimore, Md., so
Im used to traveling.
Coffin has been a multisport
standout for Crestwood, though
soccer has been her passion. She
has been an all-star with the
Comets cross country program
after posting four top-20 finishes
at the District 2 championships.
She has qualified for the PIAA
state track meet as a distance
runner.
She even made history by be-
coming the first female player
on the Crestwood football team,
joining the Comets as a placek-
icker and converting a number
of PATs during the fall.
But she is now officially a col-
legiate soccer player as she
looks forward to her senior sea-
son at Crestwood.
Being committed is a big
weight off my shoulders, and my
parents shoulders, Coffin said.
I think we should compete for a
district title this year. I can focus
on that instead of being con-
cerned with juggling two teams
and communicating with two
different coaches all the time.
Her passion for all sports
shines through in her hard work
and determination to be suc-
cessful. It also shows in her spir-
it of giving and consideration of
those less fortunate than her.
Her senior project includes
teaming with the US Soccer
Foundations Passback Pro-
gram, which collects new and
used soccer equipment and dis-
tributes it to those who other-
wise would go without, whether
locally or nationally.
She currently has dropboxes
at all schools in the Crestwood
school system for anything a
soccer player can use from
balls and shin guards to water
bottles and jerseys. Her collec-
tion drive ends Monday after-
noon.

a balanced attack that carried the
defending champion Rochester
RazorSharks to an easy 110-88
Premier Basketball League victo-

The loss was the worst for the
first-year Steamers (4-4), whose
previous largest defeat was by
nine points in Rochester in the
New Years Eve opener.
TheSteamers sufferedthrough
a miserable shooting day. They
were just 13-for-31 from the line.
They also hit only three of 21 at-
tempts from 3-point range while
Rochester was also struggling to
a 4-for-18 effort.
Tasheed Carr added 17 points
and eight players scored at least
seven points as Rochester im-
proved to 8-1, including 3-0
against second-place Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre.
Lionel Armstead, a former
West Virginia University guard,
had a team-high 14 points in his
second game with the Steamers.
Rob Robinson added 12 points
and 14 rebounds.
Tyler Bullock and Chris Com-
mons had 11 points each.
Rochester held Vinny Simpson
to eight points and five assists.
Simpson is averaging 24.4 points

against other teams but just 16.7
points and 3.7 assists in three
games against the RazorSharks.

Maybe it was just unstoppable

The parade was unbelieva-

This may sound crazy, but Hy-

inated from contention for the

ment earlier in the week.
Sophomore Kyle Hammonds

7-of-11 shooting, adding four
steals. Matt Fiorino was 4-for-4
on three-pointers for 16 points
off the bench. TimOShea added
10 and five rebounds.
A slow start on offense for
both sides was quickly forgotten
as Kings blazedpast theValiants
on 48 percent shooting in the

When the blitz ended at half-
time, the Monarchs led 45-25
and never let Manhattanville

The Valiants only got as close as
16 points in the final 20 minutes.

Hawkeyes on a
Rolle, drop Rangers
It wasnt the start that the Pen-
guins wanted.
They were more willing to
play a tough, gritty, intense
game off the drop of the puck,
Hynes said. We made it hard on
ourselves. We can only play one
way, with one intensity level. Ev-
ery time we drop from that level
we get ourselves in trouble.
Geoff Walkers power playgoal
at the end of the period drewthe
Penguins to within one.
After Portland scored early in
the second period to make it 3-1
headed into the third, the Pen-
guins found themselves in an
enormous hole.
And thats when the rookies
took over.
Gibbons struck first when he
swept in a loose puck that
bounced off Thompson in the
crease to make it 3-2.
Thompson evened things up
when he teamed up with Gib-
bons andfellowrookieMatt Rust
on a three-on-two with less than
two minutes to play. Gibbons
started the play when he dished
the puck over to Rust in the slot,
who then passed to Thompson
on the side for the wrist shot
goal.
We were put together (on a
line) to create offense, Thomp-
son said. It was a huge goal for
us and we could finally cash in
for all thehardworkwewereput-
ting in.
Thirty seconds into overtime,
Zach Sill forced a turnover deep
in the Portland end and the puck
bouncedout to Thompsoninthe
corner. He sent a pass across the
slot to Picard, who was wide
open and placed a wrist shot in-
side the near post for the win.
I saw the opening and I was
yelling as loud as I could, said
Picard, who was playing in his
first game after a five-week ab-
sence due to an injury. He put it
right in my wheelhouse.
Withthe win, the Penguins ex-
tendedtheir leadfor first placein
the East Division to three points
over Hershey, who lost in a shoo-
tout on Saturday.
The Penguins travel to Her-
shey today for 11th meeting be-
tween the two rivals.

RALLY
MELBOURNE, Australia
Americanteenager Jessica Korda
moved into position for a two-
sport, father-daughter Australian
double, shooting an even-par 73
in windy conditions Saturday to
take the Womens Australian
Open lead at Royal Melbourne.
Korda, the 18-year-old daugh-
ter of 1998 Australian Open ten-
nis championPetr Korda, hada 4-
under 215 total in the LPGATour
opener on the historic clubs diffi-
cult Composite Course, the 2011
Presidents Cup venue that is
hosting a womens professional
event for the first time. She
opened with rounds of 72 and 70.
It would mean a lot, Korda
said about following her father
with a Melbourne victory. My
Dad was world No. 2. I told himI
want to beat that. It would be a
great accomplishment, an awe-
some thing.
So Yeon Ryu, the U.S. Womens
Open champion who took a one-
stroke lead into the third round,
was a stroke back along with fel-
lowSouth Korean player Hee Ky-
ung Seo and Australias Nikki
Campbell. Ryu shot a 76, Seo had
a 75, and Campbell a 70.
Normally my play style is very
aggressive, but this course, its
definitely not, Ryu said. Always
my plan is just par.
Top-ranked Yani Tseng, the
winner the last two years at Com-
monwealthGolf Club, toppedthe
group at 2 under after a 71. The
Taiwanese star was still smarting
from a three-hole stretch Friday
in her second-round 76 when she
dropped six strokes with a qua-
druple-bogey 8 and two bogeys.
I think Im in very good posi-
tion, especially with a course like
this, Tseng said. So, tomorrow
Ill play more aggressive and try
to get as many birdies as I can.
Sheknows that couldget her in
trouble.
Today, I just tried to slow
down a bit and be patient all the
time because these greens, its
hard to make birdie and easy to
make bogey, Tseng said. So,
you also just have to be patient.
Canadas Lorie Kane and
American Katie Futcher also
were 2 under. The 47-year-old
Kane hada 72, andFutcher shot a
71.
Korda birdied Nos. 7, 9 and 10
all par 4s for a share of the
lead with Ryu at 6 under, but
dropped strokes with bogeys on
the par-4 13th and par-5 17th.
As things startedgoingonand
on, I started feeling shaky as the
wind gusted toward the end of
theday, shesaid. I finishedpret-
ty strong and kept at level par.
Last year as a rookie, she made
eight cuts in15LPGATour starts.

A team-by-team look at the Amer-
ican League entering spring train-
ing, including key players each club
acquired and lost, and dates of the
first workout for pitchers and
catchers, and the full squad:
EAST
New York Yankees
Manager: Joe Girardi (fifth sea-
son).
2011: 97-65, first place, lost in
division series.
Training Town: Tampa, Fla.
Park: George M.
Steinbrenner

First Workout:

RHP Hiroki

carmen, OF Dewayne Wise.
Hes Outta Here: DH-1B Jorge
Posada, RHP Bartolo Colon, RHP
Hector Noesi, RHP Andrew Brack-
man, 3B Eric Chavez, DH-C Jesus
Montero.
Going campin: Despite losing in
the first round of the playoffs, the
Yankees laid low for most of the
offseason, passing on what they
felt was a weak free-agent crop in
the areas of their needs. But in a
span of several hours on one Janu-
ary day, they beefed up their big-
gest problem area: starting pitch-
ing. New York signed Kuroda to a
reasonable one-year, $10 million
contract and acquired Pineda, a
hard-throwing youngster, giving
the club seven pitchers for five
rotation spots. With Ivan Nova
emerging as a rising star going
16-4 in his rookie year Phil
Hughes could find himself in the
bullpen, two seasons removed from
winning 18 games. The big question
is what will they do with A.J. Bur-
nett, whose 5.15 ERA was third
worst among all qualifying pitchers
last season? The temperamental
Burnett has two more years left on
a five-year, $82.5 million contract
and has struggled mightily the past
two seasons. To get Pineda, the
Yankees gave up young power
hitter Montero. They still might try
to sign a lefty bat to help fill the DH
role. Alex Rodriguez, coming off an
injury plagued year in which he hit
only 16 homers, had experimental
treatment on his right knee and
left shoulder in Germany in Decem-
ber. He could see increased time at
DH as could as Derek Jeter, wholl
turn 38 in June.
Tampa Bay Rays
Manager: Joe Maddon (seventh
season).
2011: 91-71, wild card, lost in division
series.
Training Town: Port Charlotte, Fla.
Park: Charlotte
Sports Park.
First Workout:
Feb. 21/26.
Hes Here: 1B
Carlos Pena, OF
Luke Scott, RHP
Burke Baden-
hop, RHP Fer-
nando Rodney, C Jose Molina, INF

Hes Outta Here: DH-OF Johnny
Damon, C Kelly Shoppach, C John
Jaso, 1B Casey Kotchman, 1B Dan
Johnson, OF Justin Ruggiano, RHP
Juan Cruz, RHP Andy Sonnanstine.
Going campin: The budget-minded
Rays, who have made the playoffs
three of the past four seasons,
surprisingly addressed their big-
gest offseason priorities adding
some power to the middle of the
batting order and bolstering the
bullpen without parting with any
of their surplus of young starting
pitchers. Barring a last-minute
trade, theyll go to training camp
with David Price, James Shields,
Jeremy Hellickson, Wade Davis,
Jeff Niemann and rookie Matt
Moore, who earned the teams only
win in last years playoffs. Although
executive vice president of baseball
operations Andrew Friedman
hasnt ruled out the possibility of
making a deal, he has stressed the
Rays are comfortable with having
an extra starter. Free agent slug-
gers Pena and Scott were added
without sacrificing anything on
defense, where Tampa Bay ranks as
among best teams in the AL. Pena
is a former Gold Glove first base-
man who averaged 36 homers, 102
RBIs and 93 walks in an earlier
four-year stint with Tampa Bay
from 2007 to 2010. Scott replaces
Damon as the teams primary
designated hitter and is capable of
filling in defensively at first base
and in the outfield. Keppinger is a
utility player who provides another
right-handed bat off the bench.
Badenhop and Rodney join a bull-
pen that was rebuilt a year ago
after the Rays lost six relievers to
free agency.
Boston Red Sox
Manager: Bobby Valentine (first
season).
2011: 90-72, third place.
Training Town: Fort Myers, Fla.
Park: JetBlue Park.
First Workout: Feb. 21/25.
Hes Here: Manager Bobby Valen-
tine, OF Cody Ross, OF Ryan Swee-
ney, INF Nick Punto, C Kelly Shop-
pach, RHP Andrew Bailey, RHP
Mark Melancon, RHP Vicente Padil-
la, RHP Aaron Cook.

Josh Reddick,
SS Marco Scuta-
ro, INF Josh
Lowrie, C Jason
Varitek, RHP
Tim Wakefield,
RHP Dan Wheel-
er, LHP Erik
Bedard, RHP
Jonathan Papelbon.
Going campin: Valentine needs to
restore order to a clubhouse that
lacked discipline, which contributed
to a 7-20 September that left the
Red Sox out of the playoffs in Terry
Franconas last season as manager.
Ben Cherington stayed away from
high-priced signings when he
became general manager after
Theo Epstein took over as presi-
dent of baseball operations of the
Chicago Cubs. After signing Adrian
Gonzalez and Carl Crawford to
contracts worth $296 million last
offseason, the Red Sox let Papel-
bon leave rather than sign the
closer to an expensive deal. They
hope Bailey, obtained from Oak-
land, can fill his role. Boston also
picked up Melancon from Houston.
He could fill the setup role that
would be vacant if Daniel Bard
makes the transition to starter.
Josh Beckett, Jon Lester and Clay
Buchholz return to the rotation,
which still has several candidates
for the No. 5 spot. With Drew gone
and Crawford expected to miss the
start of the season following left
wrist surgery, Boston could open
with Ross in left field and Sweeney
in right. The Red Sox need Craw-
ford to bounce back from a dis-
appointing year. But with Gonzalez,
Jacoby Ellsbury, Dustin Pedroia,
David Ortiz and Kevin Youkilis
returning, the Red Sox lineup is
strong.
Toronto Blue Jays
Manager: John Farrell (second
season).
2011: 81-81, fourth place.
Training Town: Dunedin, Fla.
Park: Florida
Auto Exchange
Stadium.
First Workout:
Feb. 22/25.

ro, OF Ben Fran-
cisco, LHP Aa-

buena, INF Omar Vizquel.
Hes Outta Here: RHP Shawn
Camp, RHP Frank Francisco, OF
Adam Loewen, C Jose Molina, RHP
Jon Rauch, INF Mark Teahen, OF
Dewayne Wise.
Going campin: The Blue Jays
rebuilt their bullpen after blowing
25 save opportunities last season,
tied for third most in baseball.
Santos, a shortstop prospect the
last time he was with the Blue
Jays, was reacquired in a trade
with the Chicago White Sox, and
will be handed the closers job, with
Oliver and Cordero taking the
setup roles. Toronto failed to add
another big bat behind Jose Bau-
tista, who successfully defended
his major league home run crown
in 2011, and also came up short in
its search for another arm to add
to the rotation, an offseason pri-
ority for Farrell. Despite missing
out on Japanese ace Yu Darvish,
Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos
remains confident in his young
staff, led by left-hander Ricky
Romero. Torontos only real posi-
tion battle appears to be left field,
where Travis Snider and Eric
Thames will square off for the
starting job.
Baltimore Orioles
Manager: Buck Showalter (second
full season).
2011: 69-93, fifth place.
Training Town: Sarasota, Fla.
Park: Ed Smith
Stadium.
First Workout:
Feb. 19/24.
Hes Here: LHP

land, RHP Jason
Hammel, RHP Matt Lindstrom, LHP
Tsuyoshi Wada, C Taylor Teagar-
den, 2B Matt Antonelli, OF Endy

Hes Outta Here: DH Vladimir
Guerrero, LF Luke Scott, C Jake
Fox, OF Felix Pie, RHP Chris Jaku-
bauskas, RHP Jeremy Guthrie, LHP
Jo-Jo Reyes, RHP Rick Vanden-
Hurk.
Going campin: After taking over
for Andy MacPhail, executive vice
president of baseball operations
Dan Duquette promptly launched a
worldwide search for viable pitch-
ing talent. His quest landed Chen
of Taiwan and Japans Wada, along
with a host of domestic hurlers.
That means Showalter will have
plenty to choose from in Florida as
he seeks to assemble a viable
starting rotation. The list of hope-
fuls includes newcomers Eveland
and Hammel, as well as several
young holdovers from last season
(Zach Britton, Brian Matusz, Brad
Bergesen, Jack Arrieta). Showalter
also must determine whether to
maintain shaky Kevin Gregg as the
closer, and if oft-injured Brian
Roberts is healthy enough to re-
turn to second base and bat lead-
off. The Orioles arent going to be
contenders this season, but hope
to at least avoid a 15th consecutive
losing season.
CENTRAL
Detroit Tigers
Manager: Jim Leyland (seventh
season).
2011: 95-67, first place, lost in
ALCS.
Training Town: Lakeland, Fla.
Park: Joker
Marchant Stadi-
um.
First Workout:
Feb. 20/24.
Hes Here: 1B
Prince Fielder,

temit, 2B Carlos Guillen, OF Mag-
glio Ordonez, RHP Brad Penny,
RHP Ryan Perry, 2B Will Rhymes,
LHP Brad Thomas, RHP Joel Zu-
maya.
Going campin: Perhaps no team
will be more fascinating to watch
this season than the Tigers, who
responded to Victor Martinezs
knee injury with a stunning $214
million bid for Fielder. To make
room for the slugging first base-
man, Detroit plans to move Miguel
Cabrera to third and hope for the
best defensively. Martinez could
miss the whole season after left
knee surgery, but the Tigers now
have three of the games biggest
stars Fielder, Cabrera and Justin
Verlander all in their primes.
Verlander won the Cy Young Award
and MVP last season, helping the
Tigers win the division by 15 games.
Aside from Cabreras position
switch, Detroits biggest question
heading into spring training might
be the fifth starter spot. Jacob
Turner, who struck out 110 in 131
minor league innings last season,
could be a candidate. Closer Jose
Valverde will try for an encore
performance after saving all 49 of
his chances in 2011. Speed will be
scarce with this lineup. Leadoff
man Austin Jackson stole 22 bases
last year but posted an on-base
percentage of only .317 and stuck
out 181 times. This will be Jacksons
third season and an important one
for the young center fielder.
Cleveland Indians
Manager: Manny Acta (third sea-
son).

Hes Outta Here: DH Jim Thome,
OF Travis Buck, RHP Justin Germa-
no, OF Jerad Head, OF Austin
Kearns, RHP Zach Putnam, RHP
Mitch Talbot.
Going campin: Without the funds
to land any big-name free agents,
the Indians priority this winter was
to add depth in case of injuries and
hopefully close on the Tigers, who
put a crimp in Clevelands plans by
signing slugger Prince Fielder for
nine years. Lowe was a smart,
low-risk addition to a solid rotation
since the Braves will pay $10 million
of his $15 million salary. Fausto
Carmonas arrest on identity fraud
charges in the Dominican Republic
forced the Indians to acquire Slo-
wey, who went 0-8 for Minnesota
last season. Carmonas future with
the club remains uncertain. Can-
zler and Cunningham will each
have a chance to win roster spots.
The biggest competition in camp
will be between Jack Hannahan
and Lonnie Chisenhall at third. An
excellent fielder, Kotchman, coming
off a career-best season at Tampa
Bay, immediately improves Cleve-
lands defense and his arrival likely
means the disappointing Matt
LaPorta will begin the season at
Triple-A Columbus. Injuries ravaged
the Indians last season, offsetting
the 30-15 start that vaulted them
into contention. The club will pay
close attention this spring to for-
mer All-Star center fielder Grady
Sizemore, who has been unable to
stay on the field the past three
seasons.
Chicago White Sox
Manager: Robin Ventura (first
season).
Training town: Glendale, Ariz.

dez.
Hes Outta Here: LHP Mark Buehr-
le, OF Carlos Quentin, OF Juan
Pierre, RHP Sergio Santos, RHP
Jason Frasor.
Going campin: Ventura was the
surprise choice to replace his
former teammate, the often outra-
geous Ozzie Guillen, as manager.
And Ventura, the former Sox third
baseman, faces a big challenge in
making the team competitive in
the AL Central where the Tigers
just added Prince Fielder. During an
offseason that points to rebuilding,
the White Sox either lost or dealt
away their ace (Buehrle), their
closer (Santos), a run-producing
but oft-injured outfielder (Quentin)
and their leadoff hitter (Pierre). In
return they got a bevy of pitching
prospects. Chicago is hoping DH
Adam Dunns nightmarish first
season (.159, 11 homers, 42 RBIs, 177
Ks) was an anomaly and that OF
Alex Rios and 2B Gordon Beckham
also shake off subpar seasons.
John Danks got a new contract to
replace Buehrle as ace and the
White Sox desperately need a
healthy Jake Peavy to return to the
form he once displayed with the
Padres. Matt Thornton, who strug-
gled as the closer last April, will
likely get another shot at the role
with Santos off to Toronto. The Sox
are counting on talented young
outfielder Dayan Viciedo to take
over in right for Quentin and are
looking for another stellar season
from their leader, 1B Paul Konerko.
Kansas City Royals

Jonathan Brox-
ton, LHP Ryan Verdugo, INF Yu-
niesky Betancourt.
Hes Outta Here: CF Melky Cabre-
ra, LHP Jeff Francis, LHP Aaron
Laffey.
Going campin: The Royals up-
graded their starting rotation by
trading Cabrera, their center fiel-
der, to San Francisco for Sanchez,
and bolstered their bullpen by
acquiring Mijares and Broxton. But
thats about all theyve done this
offseason, content to head into the
season with the youngest lineup in
baseball. The average age most
nights will be about 27 years old,
and several times last season it
was 24. First baseman Eric Hosmer
and third baseman Mike Moustakas
are the cornerstones of the youth
movement after arriving from the
minors last season, while catcher
Salvador Perez, second baseman
Johnny Giavotella and shortstop
Alcides Escobar showed flashes of
brilliance. Jeff Francoeur is back in
right field and Alex Gordon had a
breakout season in left, and is
trying to work out a long-term deal
to stay with Kansas City. Hotshot
prospect Lorenzo Cain will get the
job in center. But pitching remains
the biggest question mark. Bruce
Chen is a solid veteran, Sanchez
has been good when hes been
healthy, and Luke Hochevar
showed signs of finally becoming
an elite starter. Two more starters
need to emerge from a pool that
includes Danny Duffy, Felipe Pauli-
no, Luis Mendoza and top prospect
Mike Montgomery.
Minnesota Twins

Hes Outta Here: RHP Joe Nathan,
OF Michael Cuddyer, OF Jason
Kubel, RHP Kevin Slowey, OF Jason
Repko.
Going campin: Its a new day in
Minnesota. Gone are clubhouse
pillars Nathan and Cuddyer, who
served as leaders and spokesmen
both on and off the field. Kubel was
also a mainstay for years here, so
the Twins will be even more de-
pendent on 1B Justin Morneau, C
Joe Mauer and CF Denard Span to
come back healthy after missing
huge chunks of time last year to
injury. The hope is that Morneau
and Span have put their concus-
sion problems behind them and
Mauer reports fully healthy and in
shape when camp opens. If that
happens, a strong nucleus will be
back for a team that is used to
being a factor in the division. If
those three stars cannot stay
healthy, and if the ace-less starting
rotation struggles again to get
hitters out, it could be another long
season at Target Field. Gardenhire
has promised a renewed focus on
fundamentals in camp this spring.
Playing the right way used to be
this franchises hallmark, but errors
in the field and on the bases con-
tributed to the teams woeful finish.
WEST
Texas Rangers
Manager: Ron Washington (sixth
season).
2011: 96-66, first place, AL cham-
pions, lost World Series.
Training Town: Surprise, Ariz.
Park: Surprise Stadium.
Hes Here: RHP
Yu Darvish, RHP
Joe Nathan.
Hes Outta
Here: LHP C.J.
Wilson, LHP
Darren Oliver.
Going campin:
After consecutive World Series
appearances, and twice in Game 6
last year coming within one strike
of a title before losing to St. Louis
in seven games, the Rangers have
established themselves as one of
baseballs most solid teams. The
top-hitting lineup in the majors will
be basically unchanged and Texas
countered the loss of Wilson in free
agency he took a five-year deal
from the AL West rival Los Angeles
Angels by signing Darvish. The
Rangers committed more than
$107 million to acquire Japans top
pitcher, including a $56 million,
six-year contract. That isnt the
only change in the rotation. Hard-
throwing closer Neftali Feliz is
switching to a starting role, a move
made easier by the signing of
Nathan, the veteran free agent
closer. Plus, All-Star right-hander
Alexi Ogando is expected to move
back into the bullpen after winning
13 games as a starter last year.
Slugger Josh Hamiltons admitted
one-night relapse with alcohol
during the offseason created ques-
tions about his long-term future
with the Rangers. The outfielder
can be a free agent after this
season, but the team put on indefi-
nite hold talks about a contract
extension. Texas has hired a new
special staff assistant whose job
includes being in a support role for
Hamilton. Johnny Narron did that
before he left this winter to be-
come Milwaukees hitting coach.
Hamilton, who hit .298 with 25
home runs in 121 games last season,
had sports hernia surgery in No-
vember after playing injured
throughout the postseason.
Los Angeles Angels

Hes Outta Here: C Jeff Mathis,
RHP Joel Pineiro, RHP Tyler Chat-
wood, INF Russell Branyan, OF
Reggie Willits.
Going campin: The Angels begin a
season of sky-high expectations
with the arrival of Pujols, the three-
time NL MVP coming off his sec-
ond World Series title with St.
Louis. The Angels $240-million
man will arrive at camp a week
early to integrate himself into a
lineup that often sputtered last
season. Hes joined by Orange
County native Wilson, who spurned
the AL West rival Rangers to join a
stellar rotation alongside Jered
Weaver, Dan Haren and Ervin San-
tana. Perhaps the player with the
most spring work to do is Iannetta,
acquired from Colorado to run the
pitching staff while hopefully pro-
viding more offense than the trio
of punchless hitters who held the
job last year. While Pujols settles in,
the Angels must figure out what to
do with fellow first basemen Mark
Trumbo, who led the club in home-
rs and RBIs as a rookie last season,
and Kendrys Morales, whos cau-
tiously optimistic hell return this
spring from nearly two years away
with a broken left ankle. Trumbo,
whos also coming back from sur-
gery, and Morales might work on
learning new positions in spring.
Aside from the additions, much of
last seasons lineup returns intact
after GM Jerry Dipoto swiftly
re-signed several arbitration-eligi-
ble players. Even with several
big decisions to make
in the spring, Scios-
cia believes Los
Angeles has
all the pieces
necessary to
get back to the
postseason after a
two-year absence.

Trevor Cahill, LHP Gio Gonzalez,
RHP Andrew Bailey, OF Ryan Swee-
ney, LHP Craig Breslow, RHP Guil-
lermo Moscoso, LHP Josh Outman.
Going campin: Center fielder Coco
Crisp re-signed, and that became
quite a bright spot and big deal
considering the way new-look
Oakland traded away much of its
roster this winter in the hopes of
landing a new ballpark in San Jose
and rebuilding accordingly in antic-
ipation of playing in a new venue.
Yet thats still a long way off, with
commissioner Bud Selig yet to rule
whether the low-budget As can
leave the rundown Oakland Col-
iseum and move into the San Fran-
cisco Giants territory. Owner Lew
Wolff, GM Billy Beane and Oak-
lands brass are preparing as if
theyll get the OK and soon. The
rotation will be young with big
holes to fill after the As dealt two
top starters in Cahill and Gonzalez
and also All-Star closer Bailey. LHP
Dallas Braden is working his way
back from surgery on his pitching
shoulder, so it could be tough for
the As early as Melvin figures out
who he can count on regularly in a
division that has already improved
drastically with the addition of
slugger Albert Pujols with the
Angels and star Japanese pitcher
Yu Darvish with the two-time reign-
ing AL champion Texas Rangers.
The As have another quick spring
to prepare before again opening
the season in Japan, on March 28
against the Seattle Mariners. Oak-
land, which hasnt reached the
playoffs or had a winning season
since being swept by the Tigers in
the 2006 AL championship series,
also played in Japan vs. Boston
four years ago.

Millwood, INF Munenori Kawasaki,

Hes Outta Here: RHP Michael
Pineda, INF Adam Kennedy, RHP
Josh Lueke, C Josh Bard.
Going campin: The Mariners failed
this offseason to land the much-
needed, established slugger to help
address their three-year offensive
slump so they dealt young All-Star
Pineda to the New York Yankees
for Montero, a top prospect, and
Noesi. While Monteros ability
behind the plate is still up for
debate, theres a lot of enthusiasm
for the potential he brings to a
lineup that was the worst in base-
ball last season. Wedge will be
doing some serious lineup juggling
during the spring with the initial
plan being to move Ichiro Suzuki
out of the leadoff spot. Dustin
Ackley or perhaps Chone Figgins,
whose $36 million investment has
so far been a bust, are candidates
to take his spot. Wedge must also
sort out a traffic jam in left field
where Mike Carp, Casper Wells,
Michael Saunders, Carlos Peguero
and Trayvon Robinson all saw time
last season. Much of spring train-
ing, which starts for Seattle a week
earlier than anyone else in baseball
because the Mariners open the
season in Japan against Oakland,
will focus on the young pitching
staff. Starting prospects James
Paxton, Taijuan Walker and Danny
Hultzen will all get a chance to
make the squad, although itll be
difficult. Still, the Mariners starting
staff expects to be their strength
with Felix Hernandez, Jason
Vargas, newcomer Hisashi
Iwakuma and Noesi.
A M E R I C A N L E A G U E : T E A M - B Y - T E A M C A P S U L E S
With a calmer ap-
proach and a mature

A team-by-team look at the National
League entering spring training,
including key players each club ac-
quired and lost, and dates of the first

and the full squad:
EAST
Philadelphia Phillies
Manager: Charlie Manuel (eighth
season).
2011: 102-60, first place, lost in division
series.
Training Town: Clearwater, Fla.
Park: Bright
House Field.
First Workout:
Feb. 19/24.

Pineiro, RHP Brian Sanches.
Hes Outta Here: RHP Roy Oswalt,
RHP Brad Lidge, OF Raul Ibanez, RHP
Ryan Madson, OF Ross Gload, OF Ben
Francisco, INF Wilson Valdez.
Going campin: Five straight NL East
titles have set the bar very high in
Philadelphia. Anything less than a
World Series championship isnt
considered a success for the Phillies.
They set a franchise record for wins
last year and have finished with the
best record in the majors two straight
years, but theyve regressed each
season since winning the World Series
in 2008. They lost the World Series in
2009, were eliminated in the NLCS in
2010 and got knocked out in the first
round last year. With aces Roy Halla-
day, Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels an-
choring the rotation and new closer
Papelbon in the fold, the Phillies have
enough pitching to go deep. But
hitting has been the teams biggest
problem in recent postseasons and
the offense might be missing Ryan
Howard at the start of the season as
the big slugger recovers from an
Achilles injury sustained on the final
swing last year. With the Marlins and
Nationals improved, itll be tougher
for the Phillies to cruise to another
division title. Still, they head to spring
training as the team to beat in the
East.
Atlanta Braves
Manager: Fredi Gonzalez (second
season).
Training Town: Kissimmee, Fla.
Park: Champion
Stadium.
First Workout:
Feb. 20/25.
Hes Here: SS
Tyler Pastornicky.
Hes Outta Here:
RHP Derek Lowe,
SS Alex Gonzalez,
OF Nate McLouth,
INF Brooks Conrad, RHP Scott Li-
nebrink, LHP George Sherrill.
Going campin: The Braves decided to
stand pat after a historic collapse last
September, when they gave away a
seemingly safe lead in the wild-card
race and missed the playoffs on the
final day of the season. The only
major change figures to be rookie
Pastornicky taking over at shortstop
for Alex Gonzalez. The rest of the
lineup will look the same as 2010,
when Atlanta failed to find any sort of
consistent run production. Much of
the attention this spring will be fo-
cused on right fielder Jason Heyward,
who followed up a promising rookie
season with a hugely disappointing
sophomore campaign (.227, 14 home-
rs, 42 RBIs). If Heyward bounces back
and hes only 22 the Braves lineup
will look a lot more imposing, espe-
cially with Michael Bourn leading off
for an entire season. Atlanta is also
counting on second baseman Dan
Uggla to avoid the dismal start that
left him with a .233 average, even
though he did lead the team with 36
homers and 82 RBIs. Third baseman
Chipper Jones keeps chugging along
as he approaches his 40th birthday,
still providing pop in the middle of the
order (.275, 18, 70). The strength of
the team is undoubtedly the pitching
staff, which might be even stronger
now that Lowe, a 17-game loser, has
been dealt to Cleveland. Tim Hudson,
who had 16 wins, is coming off back
surgery and may not be ready to go
at the start of spring, but hes not
expected to miss an extended period.
The Braves also will be keeping an eye
on young starters Jair Jurrjens and
Tommy Hanson, both plagued by
injuries at the end of last season but
now insisting theyre fully healthy.
Theres plenty of candidates for the
final two spots in the rotation with
Brandon Beachy, Mike Minor, Randall
Delgado and Julio Teheran expected
to compete in the spring. The bullpen
was dominant most of the season
with NL Rookie of the Year Craig
Kimbrel (46 saves), Jonny Venters
(1.84 ERA) and Eric OFlaherty (0.98).
But the trio faded down the stretch as
the team slumped, and Gonzalez will
be looking for ways to keep them
fresh for the entire year. Gonzalez will
be under scrutiny, as well, after his
debut season taking over for Bobby
Cox ended with that awful September
swoon.
Washington Nationals

Hes Outta Here: RHP Livan Hernan-
dez, OF Jonny Gomes, RHP Todd
Coffey, OF Laynce Nix.
Going campin: All eyes will be on
19-year-old outfielder Bryce Harper,
the No. 1 pick in the 2010 amateur
draft. Will he make the club in spring
training? Or, more likely, will he get
some more seasoning in the minors
first? After ending their streak of
last-place finishes, the Nationals aim
to finally be a factor and play mea-
ningful games in September. Led by
Stephen Strasburg, Washingtons
rotation got much-needed boosts
from Jackson and Gonzalez. Lidge
joins a bullpen that already was a
strength. Now the key will be whether
the offense produces despite no
major additions unless, that is,
Harper is on the opening-day roster.
New York Mets
Manager: Terry Collins (second sea-
son).
Training Town: Port St. Lucie, Fla.

Ronny Paulino, RHP Jason Isring-
hausen, OF Willie Harris, 1B-OF Nick
Evans, RHP Chris Young.
Going campin: Not long ago, the
Mets spent their winters landing
big-name prizes like Johan Santana,
Francisco Rodriguez and Carlos Bel-
tran. Now they hunt for bargains if
they even shop at all. Coming off
three straight losing seasons and
mired in a financial mess, New York
has slashed its bloated payroll below
$100 million and started looking
toward the future. The teams owners
are being sued for hundreds of mil-
lions of dollars by the trustee seeking
money for victims of the Bernard
Madoff Ponzi scheme, with a trial set
to start March 19. What happens in
court could determine the clubs fate,
overshadowing almost everything at
spring training. After trading Rodri-
guez and Beltran last summer, the
Mets didnt even make a formal offer
as Reyes, a homegrown star, left for a
$106 million, six-year deal with the
division-rival Marlins. The next big
question is whether third baseman
David Wright, the face of the fran-
chise, will follow Reyes out the door.
The team holds a $16 million club
option for 2013, which gets voided if
Wright is traded this year. Besides that
issue, much of the focus this spring
will be on Santanas health. The
two-time Cy Young Award winner
hasnt pitched in the majors since
undergoing shoulder surgery in
September 2010, and its unclear if
hell be ready for opening day as the
Mets prepare to celebrate their 50th
anniversary. Most of the rotation,
however, returns intact. New York will
hope for a bounce-back season from
RHP Mike Pelfrey and continued
progress by LHP Jonathon Niese, RHP
Dillon Gee and RF Lucas Duda. With
the money they did spend in the
offseason, the Mets tried to upgrade
an ineffective bullpen. Francisco is the
new closer. New York also moved in
the fences at spacious Citi Field,
hoping that will benefit Wright and
big-money bust Jason Bay. Light-
hitting youngster Ruben Tejada takes
over for Reyes at shortstop, while
New York tries to squeeze Daniel
Murphys bat and surgically repaired
knees in at second base. Promising
1B Ike Davis is expected back after
missing most of last season with a
slow-to-heal ankle injury. Still, fans are
extremely frustrated. Or even worse,
disinterested. And the situation could
get worse before it gets better. This
looks like a last-place team in the
powerful NL East, where everyone
else has been loading up.
Miami Marlins
Manager: Ozzie Guillen (first season).
Training Town: Jupiter, Fla.
Park: Roger Dean Stadium.
First Workout:

Gaudin, OF Aaron Rowand, OF Austin
Kearns.
Hes Outta Here: RHP Chris Volstad,
RHP Clay Hensley, RHP Brian Sanch-
es, RHP Burke Badenhop, C John
Baker.
Going campin: The Marlins have a
new name, new ballpark and new
manager. They also have a new fi-
nancial philosophy that resulted in an
offseason spending spree unprece-
dented in franchise history. Free-agent
deals totaling $191 million netted the
Marlins three All-Stars in Reyes,
Buehrle and Bell. The Marlins also
hired the outspoken Guillen and
traded for the hotheaded Zambrano,
ensuring lots of attention for a team
that finished last in the NL in attend-
ance each of the past seven years.
The biggest spring training questions
will be whether Guillen can sell All-
Star shortstop Hanley Ramirez on a
switch to third base to make room for
Reyes, and whether ace RHP Josh
Johnson is healthy. Johnson made
only nine starts last year because of
shoulder inflammation. The Marlins
hope for signs this spring that second
baseman Chris Coghlan can regain his
2009 NL Rookie of the Year form, and
theyll give speedy utilityman Emilio
Bonifacio a tryout in center field.
CENTRAL
Milwaukee Brewers
Manager: Ron Roenicke (second

2011: 96-66, first

NLCS.

Hes Outta Here: 1B Prince Fielder,

Jr., 3B Casey McGehee, SS Yuniesky
Betancourt, RHP LaTroy Hawkins,
RHP Takashi Saito.
Going campin: Coming off one of the
most memorable seasons in franchise
history, the Brewers have had an
anxious offseason. As expected,
Prince Fielder left as a free agent,
signing a nine-year, $214 million deal
with Detroit. What wasnt expected:
NL MVP Ryan Braun being suspended
for 50 games under baseballs drug
policy and having to await a verdict
on his appeal. Yes, the arrival of
former Cubs slugger Aramis Ramirez
will help make up for some of the
offense that was lost when Fielder
left. But if the Brewers are going to
contend again this season, theyll
likely have to do it based more on
pitching and defense than they have
in the past. Second baseman Rickie
Weeks is the only returning starter
from last years infield. Mat Gamel
gets the first shot at replacing Fielder,
although Corey Hart will spend part of
spring training getting work at first
base. Alex Gonzalez is expected to be
a defensive upgrade over Yuniesky
Betancourt. Ramirez takes over at
third. Milwaukees pitching was strong
last season and should be even better
with Zack Greinke healthy to start the
year and a full season with Francisco
Rodriguez in the setup role. One of
the more intriguing story lines of
spring training will be the arrival of
outfielder Norichika Aoki, a three-time
Central League batting champion in
Japan.
St. Louis Cardinals
Manager: Mike Matheny (first season).
2011: 90-72, wild card, won World

Russa, pitching coach Dave Duncan, 1B
Albert Pujols, RHP Edwin Jackson, INF
Ryan Theriot, INF Nick Punto, C Gerald
Laird, RHP Octavio Dotel, LHP Arthur
Rhodes.
Going campin: New manager, new
pitching coach, new No. 3 hitter after
their surprising title run. Matheny will
be filling out lineup cards without
Pujols to pencil in for the first time
instead of La Russa, who retired No. 3
on the career victory list behind only
Connie Mack and John McGraw. At
least Lilliquist has some experience
after getting tested late last season
when Duncan took an extended leave
of absence to tend to his ailing wife.
Matheny could plug Beltran, Matt
Holliday or Lance Berkman into the
slot Pujols commandeered for 11 Hall
of Fame-trajectory seasons before
bolting to the Angels, or he could mix
and match. Signing Beltran and re-
signing shortstop Rafael Furcal ($7
million) took most of the money the
Cardinals would have spent keeping
Pujols. The lineup figures to be deeper
with David Freese emerging in Octo-
ber as the NLCS and World Series
MVP and Allen Craig also coming off a
clutch postseason, although Craig
could miss the first month of the
season rehabbing from knee surgery.
The biggest boost overall might come
from a familiar face. Former 20-game
winner Adam Wainwright is back from
elbow surgery and rejoins Chris
Carpenter at the top of the rotation.
Cincinnati Reds
Manager: Dusty Baker (fourth sea-
son).
Training Town:
Goodyear, Ariz.
Park: Goodyear
Ballpark.
First Workout:
Feb. 19/24.
Hes Here: RHP
Mat Latos, RHP
closer Ryan Madson, LHP Sean Mar-
shall, RHP Andrew Brackman, LHP

dez, RHP closer Francisco Cordero,
LHP Travis Wood, RHP Edinson Vol-
quez, LHP Dontrelle Willis, INF Yonder
Alonso, OF Fred Lewis, SS Edgar
Renteria, C Yasmani Grandal.
Going campin: The Reds won the NL
Central in 2010 with a nucleus of
young players and spent the following
offseason signing them to long-term
deals. They returned their roster
virtually intact for 2011 and watched it
struggle, especially the rotation. So,
GM Walt Jocketty took a far different
approach this offseason, making a
series of trades and free agent sign-
ings to give the pitching staff a new
look. They traded four players, in-
cluding starter Volquez and top pros-
pect Alonso, to San Diego for starter
Latos. The rotation now features RHP
Johnny Cueto, Latos and Bronson
Arroyo in the first three spots, with
RHP Homer Bailey and Mike Leake in
the competition for the last two spots.
Madson replaces Cordero as the
closer, with Marshall giving the Reds
another dependable setup man. The
Reds still have to figure out what to
do at three positions. Rookie short-
stop Zack Cozart had surgery on his
non-throwing elbow last year, but is
first in line for the starting job. Third
baseman Scott Rolen had surgery on
his left shoulder, which was a chronic
problem and limited him to 65 games
last season. The Reds will see how it
responds during spring training. Left
field is open for competition once
again. The Reds main wish for spring
training is to stay healthy. Last year,
Bailey and Cueto came down with
shoulder problems and Arroyo devel-
oped mononucleosis during spring
training.
Pittsburgh Pirates
Manager: Clint Hurdle (second sea-
son).
2011: 72-90,
fourth place.
Training Town:
Bradenton, Fla.
Park: McKechnie

First Workout:

Hes Here: LHP Erik Bedard, C Rod

Hes Outta Here: 1B Derrek Lee, OF
Ryan Ludwick, LHP Paul Maholm, SS
Ronny Cedeno, SS Pedro Ciriaco, C
Ryan Doumit, C Chris Snyder, RHP
Jose Veras.
Going campin: The Pirates generated
plenty of buzz last season, leading the
division in late July before collapsing
down the stretch en route to the
franchises 19th straight losing season.
Hurdle infused the clubhouse with a
needed dash of optimism and the
team worked somewhat aggressively
given its salary limitations during
the offseason to plug in holes until
help comes from the minors. The
Pirates signed Bedard to a one-year
deal, hoping he can shake off the
injuries that have limited him in
recent seasons and become a top-end
starter. Hell fill in for Maholm, the
teams longest tenured player before
he signed with the Cubs. Barajas is 36
but the team believes he can catch
anywhere from100-120 games, and his
bat will be welcome in one of base-
balls weakest lineups. Barmes signed
a two-year deal, citing his relationship
with Hurdle in Colorado as a major
reason for moving to Pittsburgh.
McGehee is insurance in case Pedro
Alvarez cant shake out of the sopho-
more slump he endured in 2011, while
McLouth returns to the Pirates after
spending time in Atlanta. The team
continues to build around All-Star
center fielder Andrew McCutchen,
second baseman Neil Walker and right
fielder Jose Tabata, with Alvarez
needing to make an impact if Pitts-
burgh wants to build on 2011. The
rotation appears to be set, and All-
Star closer Joel Hanrahan anchors
the bullpen.
Chicago Cubs
Manager: Dale Sveum (first season).
2011: 71-91, fifth
place.
Training Town:
Mesa, Ariz.
Park: Fitch Park;

Hes Outta Here: Manager Mike
Quade, RHP Carlos Zambrano, 3B

C Koyie Hill.
Going campin: The Cubs brought in
Theo Epstein as president of baseball
operations, luring him from the Red
Sox to be the same championship-
drought buster he was in Boston. The
Cubs havent won a World Series since
1908 but Epsteins mantra has been to
build for the future. Chicago has
added depth to its pitching rotation,
ridded itself of mercurial one-time ace
Carlos Zambrano and brought in
everyday players David DeJesus and
Ian Stewart to see if they can shake
off poor seasons. The remake of the
front office also included the hiring of
GM Jed Hoyer from the Padres.
Theres also the lingering question
about star SS Starlin Castro, who had
207 hits a year ago but has been
questioned about an alleged sexual
assault. No charges have been filed.
RHP Matt Garza, who settled for a
$9.25 million contract shortly before
an arbitration hearing, has been the
subject of trade rumors throughout
the offseason. The Cubs were shaky
on defense a year ago and Sveum will
demand more hustle, but his biggest
chore could be finding run-producers
after the departures of Aramis Rami-
rez and Carlos Pena.
Houston Astros
Manager: Brad
Mills (third sea-
son).

place.

Hes Outta Here: RHP Mark Melan-
con, SS Clint Barmes, LF Jason Mi-
chaels.
Going campin: The Astros had the
worst record in the majors and in
franchise history last season. Theyve
got a new owner in Jim Crane, who
bought the team from Drayton
McLane, but with a roster filled with
young, unproven players their outlook
for this season is about the same as
last years. Former general manager
Ed Wade shed almost all of Houstons
recognizable players in the last two
seasons trying to replenish the farm
system. He was let go soon after
Crane took over. New GM Jeff Luhnow
is now in charge of trying to turn this
franchise around in its farewell season
in the National League before next
seasons move to the AL. Returning
for the Astros is one of last years
bright spots in third baseman Jimmy
Paredes. He hit .286 in 46 games
after being promoted from Double-A.
First baseman Carlos Lee, who is
virtually the only veteran non-pitcher
on the roster, returns for the last
season of the $100 million contract he
signed in 2007 after hitting 18 homers
with 94 RBIs in 2011. Catcher Jason
Castro wont be ready for the start of
spring training after offseason sur-
gery on his left foot, but the Astros
hope he can finally be their full-time
catcher this season after injuries have
sidelined him since he was a rookie in
2010. RHP Brett Myers leads the
rotation and will try to improve on last
seasons 7-14 record. Hes joined by
lefty Wandy Rodriguez who was 11-11
last year. Brandon Lyon, who had an
11.48 ERA in just 15 games of an injury-
plagued 2011, figures to be the closer
after Houston traded Melancon to the
Red Sox.
WEST
Arizona Diamondbacks
Manager: Kirk Gibson (second sea-
son).
2011: 94-68, first
place, lost in
division series.

Hes Outta Here: OF-1B Xavier Nady,
LHP Zach Duke, OF Colin Cowgill, SS
Josh Wilson, 3B Sean Burroughs, RHP
Jarrod Parker, RHP Esmerling Vas-
quez.
Going campin: The Diamondbacks
only tinkered with their roster after
their surprising worst-to-first run in
2011. General manager Kevin Towers
added ex-Oakland right-hander Cahill
and, in a somewhat surprising move,
signed free-agent Kubel to play left
field, leaving Gold Glove winner Gerar-
do Parra to back up all three outfield
positions. Towers also bolstered the
bullpen with the addition of Breslow. A
major question is whether SS Stephen
Drew will be back from a broken ankle.
The team re-signed slick-fielding,
light-hitting John McDonald to play in
Drews place if necessary. Arizona also
re-signed 2B Aaron Hill. McDonald and
Hill were acquired from Toronto late in
the season and both were significant
contributors to Arizonas successful
stretch run. The rotation looks set
with Ian Kennedy, Daniel Hudson,
Cahill, Josh Collmenter and lefty Joe
Saunders. But the team has two
bright prospects in RHP Trevor Bauer
and LHP Tyler Skaggs. Last year,
Gibson used spring training to drill in
a winning attitude.

Going campin: Star catcher Buster
Poseys return from a devastating
injury last May will be among the top
stories this spring. The 2010 NL Roo-
kie of the Year was lost for the season
after tearing three ligaments in his
left ankle and fracturing a bone in his
lower leg in a frightening home plate
collision with Floridas Scott Cousins
on May 25. Second baseman Freddy
Sanchez also is expected to be at full
strength again after his season was
cut short following labrum surgery on
his right shoulder in August. The
Giants are determined to contend in
the NL West again after they missed
returning to the playoffs during an
injury-plagued season following that
improbable World Series champion-
ship in 2010 and Arizona seems
poised to defend its division title. San
Francisco gave ace Tim Lincecum a
$40.5 million, two-year contract this
offseason with incentives, and slugger
Pablo Sandoval was rewarded with a
$17.15 million, three-year contract. The
25-year-old third baseman became an
All-Star last season after losing nearly
40 pounds during a rigorous offsea-
son regimen. He batted .315 with 23
home runs and 70 RBIs in 2011. San
Francisco hopes for comeback sea-
sons from a few others, too. Aubrey
Huff, rewarded with a $22 million,
two-year contract last offseason after
hitting .290 with a team-leading 26
home runs and 86 RBIs in 2010,
batted just .246 with 12 homers and
59 RBIs in 2011. Hes been on a fitness
kick this winter and is determined to
return to form. LHP Barry Zito begins
the sixth season of his $126 million,
seven-year contract looking to prove
himself once again. He is slated as the
fifth starter going into spring training.
Zito left off the postseason roster
for all three rounds in 2010 is owed
$19 million this season, $20 million in
2013 and has an $18 million team
option with a $7 million buyout in
2014. Will the Giants score enough
runs to support Lincecum and Matt
Cain and give them enough incentive
to stay put for the long haul as GM
Brian Sabean hopes?

Going campin: The biggest news will
develop away from spring training as
the sale of the team is expected to
close by April 30. Thats the date
current owner Frank McCourt is due
to give former wife Jamie a $131
million divorce settlement. McCourt
placed the team in bankruptcy last
year and he will get to select the new
owner as part of an agreement with
Major League Baseball. At least nine
bidders are reported to be in the
running, with a second round of
bidding believed set for the beginning
of March. RF Andre Ethier, a Gold
Glove winner, signed a $10.95 million,
one-year deal and will be looking for a
productive season to position himself
for free agency in 2013. His right knee
bothered him last season and he had
surgery in September. The biggest
offseason acquisitions were Capuano
and Harang, who will fill out a veteran
rotation led by Cy Young Award
winner Clayton Kershaw, LHP Ted Lilly
and RHP Chad Billingsley. With Brox-
ton, a two-time All-Star, off to Kansas
City after an injury-marred 2011, look
for Javy Guerra and Kenley Jansen to
anchor the closers role.

Going campin: Veteran leader Todd
Helton welcomes the low public
expectations surrounding the Rockies
this year. From poor pitching to a lack
of timely hitting, the Rockies plum-
meted under the weight of heavy
expectations in 2011. Their best sea-
sons, playoff runs in 2007 and 2009,
both came out of the blue. Maybe
2012 will be the same, Helton reasons.
Last year, everybody was calling them
the prohibitive favorite in the NL West
after they committed $273 million in
contracts to lock up some of their
young stars. They spent 38 days in
first place before the trap door swung
open and sent them plummeting to
the most disappointing season in their
history. GM Dan ODowd went about
changing the clubhouse culture in the
offseason, bringing in proven veterans
Cuddyer, Guthrie, Hernandez and
Scutaro. He stockpiled arms during the
winter, leaving Tracy with several
rotation candidates. The projected
group going into camp is Guthrie,
Jhoulys Chacin, Drew Pomeranz, Juan
Nicasio and Moscoso, with Alex White,
Chatwood, Outman, Moyer and Esmil
Rogers all competing for spots, too.
Jorge De La Rosa hopes to be back
fromTommy John surgery by late
May, and Nicasio has made a remarka-
ble recovery froma broken neck when
he got hit in the face by a comebacker
last year. Star slugger Carlos Gonzalez
said hes better prepared for this
season after spending more time
focusing on baseball and not getting
caught up in his newfound celebrity as
he did a year earlier, which he now
realizes led to his slow start in 2011. SS
Troy Tulowitzki recommitted himself
and worked out during the offseason.

Hes Outta Here:
RHP Heath Bell,
RHP Mat Latos, 1B Anthony Rizzo.
Going campin: While the Padres
arent expected to be serious conten-
ders for the division crown, they
should at least be better than last year
thanks to three big trades by new
general manager Josh Byrnes in late
December and early January. Byrnes
traded RHP Mat Latos to Cincinnati for
four players, including starter Volquez
and two top prospects, first baseman
Alonso and catcher Yasmani Grandal.
Byrnes acquired Quentin fromthe
Chicago White Sox two weeks later,
and then dealt Rizzo to the Chicago
Cubs for Cashner. With starting posi-
tion players pretty much in place, the
main focus of spring training will be to
set the rotation and bullpen.

FRIBOURG, Switzerland
Given a supremely tough drawin
the 2012 Davis Cup, the United
States is off to an exhilarating
start.
It swept Roger Federer and
Switzerland in the first round,
with Mardy Fish and Mike Bryan
winning the doubles match on
clay, a surface selected by Feder-
er to exploit what was perceived
as an American weakness.
But Fish and Bryan, paired for
the first time in more than three
years, were clearly up for this
challenge Saturday before a
Swiss crowd that at times turned
angry. They defeated Federer
and Stanislas Wawrinka, the
reigning Olympic champions,
4-6, 6-3, 6-3, 6-3.
This is probably going down
as one of the most memorable
(wins), said Bryan, who played
on the 2007 winning team.
The doubles victory gave the
Americans a 3-0 lead in the best-
of-five, first-round series. Fish
and Bryan built on the momen-
tum from Fridays riveting sin-
gles matches when John Isner
stunned Federer in four sets and
Fish outlasted Wawrinka in five.
This was a big step forward
for our guys to come in here and
play against a team of this cali-
ber, U.S. captain Jim Courier
said. Our attitude remained
strong all the while and we were
ready for whatever. That is what
you need for any road tie.
Handling partisan fans is
among those demands, and sec-
tions of the crowd of some 7,000
were not pleased in the least
when Bryan hit Federer and
Wawrinka with volleys at close
range.
The U.S. will again be on the
road for the next round of Davis
Cup, an April 6-8 quarterfinal
against France or Canada.
If the favored French advance,
they also would likely choose to
put the U.S. on clay instead of fas-
ter hard courts. The winner
would progress to an away semi-
final, probably against defending
champion Spain and Rafael Na-
dal, the greatest player of all on
the slow red dust.
We have the worst draw you
could have on paper, Courier
said. But you saw what paper
means here, which is absolutely
nothing. Thats the statement:
Its that our guys are committed
and played well.
In the seven other first-round
series in the World Group, three
other nations completed 3-0
sweeps Saturday: Czech Repub-
lic (vs. Italy), Spain (vs. Kazakh-
stan) and Argentina (vs. Germa-
ny). Ahead 2-1 are Japan (vs.
Croatia), Serbia (vs. Sweden)
and Austria (vs. Russia). Canada
and France are 1-1.
The U.S. produced the upset of
the round despite owning a high-
er Davis Cup ranking than Swit-
zerland.
They did really well and got
the victory they deserved, Fe-
derer said. We did have our
chances but maybe they were just
a touch better than us again to-
day.
Later, speaking in French to
Swiss media, Federer appeared
less gracious. He claimed not to
be too disappointed while point-
ing a finger at Wawrinka, who
slumpedbackinhis chair looking
every inch the junior partner in
the relationship.
I played well enough in dou-
bles, but Stanislas not so much,
Federer said, adding that Waw-
rinka didnt have his best match
insingles. Its a shame, becauseof
that defeat we werent able to put
the U.S under pressure.
FishandBryancertainlyseized
every opportunity to exploit
Wawrinkas errors. His serve was
broken in the second when he
twice double-faulted before Fish
hit a rare crosscourt winner from
the baseline. In the third, Waw-
rinka hit back-to-back wayward
volleys to drop serve.
We just had a couple of games
where we struggled too much
and couldnt convert ourselves,
Federer had said in English. He
has now lost three straight
matches dating to his Australian
Open semifinals defeat to Nadal
two weeks ago.
As tension rose in the sold-out
arena, Bryan upset the fans in the
next game when he made Feder-
er yelp with pain with a forehand
volley that struck his leg.

PITTSBURGH Steelers
wide receiver Hines Ward wants
to retire with the Pittsburgh
Steelers, offering to restructure
his contract to do it.
Ward posted on his Facebook
page Saturday that hes already
told the Steelers hes willing to
work with them on altering his
deal so he can remain with the
team. Wards comments came af-
ter NFL.com reported the Steel-
ers are planning to cut the fran-
chises all-time leading receiver.
I dont normally like to re-
spond to rumors, but as Ive said
all along, I want to finish my ca-
reer with the Pittsburgh Steel-
ers, Ward posted.
The 14-year veteran is sched-
uled to make $4 million in 2012.
Hes coming off a seasoninwhich
he finishedwith46 receptions for
381 yards and two touchdowns,
the lowest totals in each category
since he was a rookie in 1998.
Ward, who turns 36 next
month, became the eighth player
in league history to reach 1,000
career receptions in the regular-
season finale against Cleveland.
He and Jerry Rice are the only
players in league history to reach
1,000 receptions and win multi-
ple Super Bowls.
Yet Wards role within the of-
fense diminished as Antonio
Brown and Emmanuel Sanders
passed him on the depth chart
and Mike Wallace became a Pro
Bowler. Ward pushed aside spec-
ulation he would retire after the
Steelers season ended with a 29-
23 overtime loss to Denver in the
wild card round.
No, Im not even thinking
about that, Ward said at the
time.
The 2006 Super Bowl MVPdid
not catch a pass against the Bron-
cos, the first time inWards career
he was held without a reception
in a postseason game. His future
is one of several questions that
will need to be addressed during
whats already been an active off-
season for one of the leagues
most stable franchises.
Offensive coordinator Bruce
Arians was not offereda newcon-
tract and spent just over a week
unemployed before taking the
same position with the Indiana-
polis Colts. The Steelers hired
former Kansas City head coach
Todd Haley to replace Arians.
The Steelers will look for re-
ceiver depthafter releasingveter-
anArnaz Battle this week andthe
possible departure of Jerricho
Cotchery, who will be an unre-
stricted free agent.

PHILADELPHIA On paper,
coaching the Eagles secondary
would seem to be a job full of up-
side.
The team has invested second-
roundpicks insafeties eachof the
last two years and its top three
cornerbacks have combined for
eight Pro Bowl appearances.
But the last few seasons have
been hard on the Eagles back
four. The team has finished
ranked 24th, tied for 29th, and
24th again in the NFL in touch-
down passes allowed after giving
up 27, 31, and 27 scores through
the air the last three years.
Veteran defensive coaches
Dick Jauron and Johnnie Lynn
have come and gone. Nowthe job
of getting the most out of the sec-
ondary falls to Todd Bowles, a
longtime defensive assistant who
won a Super Bowl with the Wash-
ington Redskins as a safety.
Bowles inherits a perplexing
group. Nate Allen, a second-
round pick in 2010, showed flash-
es of talent but alsoerrors after re-
turning from a knee injury. Jai-
quawnJarrett, the teams number
twopickin2011, barely got onthe
field and was stuck behind Kurt
Coleman. Andthestar corner trio
of Nnamdi Asomugha, Asante Sa-
muel, and Dominique Rodgers-
Cromartie all played well below
expectations.
"You see a lot of athletes, you
see some playmakers back there,
and you see some guys that can
hit, so you see potential," said
Bowles, 48. "You see potential,
but you just have to bring it all to-
gether."
He wouldnt delve into his
plans, notingthat hes beeninPhi-
ladelphia only about a week and
was still reviewing games from
last season.
Bowles, the only new addition
to the coaching staff, took the Ea-
gles job over offers to become the

holding his wrist together.
At the NFL scouting combine
that year Bowles couldnt do a
pushup, let alonethebenchpress,
and he went undrafted. But he
signed with the Redskins and
worked his way into the lineup,
winning a championship in 1988.
After eight seasons in the NFL,
though, including seven in Wash-

He left the game for two years,
and worked as an owner of a gym
and a construction company, but
he returned as a scout for the
Packers and then a defensive co-
ordinator at Morehouse College
in Atlanta.

ts only six days.
But for a species that is extremely
secluded and seldom seen, it could
be six days too many. Listed as a spe-
cies of special concern in Pennsylvania,
snowshoe hares arent nearly as com-
mon their close relative, the cottontail
rabbit.
The larger snowshoe hare is a reclu-
sive animal, spending its life in isolated
swamps in the northwestern and north-
eastern portions of the state, particular
in the Poconos area.
They are known for the large hind
feet, big ears and brilliant white coat
that changes from brown when the
days get shorter in the fall.
The change in color is a protective
mechanism, enabling the hare to blend
in flawlessly with the snow-covered
ground of winter.
But now, the snowshoes white coat
may be its downfall.
This winter, snow has blanketed the
ground for only a handful of days.
When the white stuff is absent, snow-
shoe hares stick out like a sore thumb
against the drab brown landscape.
Its a scenario that makes them easy
prey for predators a factor that cer-
tainly doesnt help a population that is
already at risk in many areas.
And its just one reason why the
Pennsylvania Game Commission
should consider closing the snowshoe
hare season.
Right now, the season is scheduled
for Dec. 26-Jan. 1. Its not lengthy by
any means, but is it really necessary?
Its not.
The lack of snow this winter isnt the
only reason why the snowshoe hare
season should be postponed.
Populations divided
Pennsylvania is at the southern end
of the snowshoes range, and they
arent well-established in many areas.
They prefer thick, remote swamps
and brushy areas in high elevations.
Forest fragmentation has isolated
many snowshoe populations, putting
them even more at risk of predation if
they attempt to leave these areas.
It also increases the risk that if these
areas are hunted, entire populations
can be decreased significantly or even
wiped out.
And if there is a sharp decline, a
rebound wont happen easily.
Unlike the cottontail, snowshoe
hares dont reproduce with multiple
litters each year. Instead, snowshoes
have one litter each year with one or
two individuals.
They simply cant rebound quickly.
A lack of snow cover, fragmented
habitat and low reproduction rates
seems to indicate that the odds are
stacked against the snowshoe hare in
Pennsylvania.
Im sure there are places that
theyve disappeared from, PGC wild-
life biologist Kevin Wenner said. We
have to be tactful with how theyre
managed and make careful recom-
mendations.
Still, there is hope for the snow-
shoes.
Wenner said the agency has in-
creased its focus on creating early
successional habitat through timber
cuttings and prescribed burns.
These techniques result in the thick,
brushy cover that snowshoes need.
Wenner added that the PGC biol-
ogists would like to survey snowshoe
populations and see how they respond
to the habitat work, but without snow
its tough to do.
The PGC board will give final ap-
proval to the 2012-13 seasons and bag
limits in April. They can still cancel the
upcoming season.
It would be a wise step, allowing
agency biologists additional time to
study snowshoe populations. More
importantly, it would give the white
hares a bit of a respite after a challeng-
ing winter without snow.

Snowshoe
hares should
get a break
Rabid deer
Pennsylvania Game Commission offi-
cials reported last week that a Lancaster
County hunter has undergone post-
exposure rabies shots after harvesting
and field dressing a deer that ultimately
tested positive for rabies on Jan. 20, in
Valley Township, Chester County.
The hunter contacted us about his
concerns that the deer was unfit for
human consumption, said John Veylu-
pek, Game Commission wildlife conserva-
tion officer. The hunter said that he saw
the deer standing in a creek, straining
and growling. He thought there was a
coyote nearby from the sounds the deer
was making.
After gathering information from the
hunter, as well as samples for testing, it
was determined that the deer was rabid.
Because the hunter had scratches on his
hands and had field dressed the deer
without wearing gloves, we considered
this a human exposure and urged him to
contact his doctor about post-exposure
rabies shots.
Dr. Walter Cottrell, Game Commission
wildlife veterinarian, reiterated the agen-
cys long-standing recommendations that
hunters and trappers avoid harvesting
animals that appear sick and to wear
rubber or latex gloves when field dress-
ing any mammal.
All mammals are susceptible to rabies
and can spread the virus in the right
circumstances, Cottrell said. To prevent
the spread of wildlife diseases, we en-
courage hunters and trappers to contact
the Game Commission about any animals
that they encounter that may appear to
be sick.
Also, when field dressing any mam-
mal, it is critical to wear rubber or latex
gloves to prevent exposure to not just
rabies, but also to other disease orga-
nisms.
Second gobbler license available
Pennsylvania hunters who would like
the opportunity to harvest a second
spring gobbler can purchase a second
tag until April 20, according to Game
Commission executive director Carl G.
Roe.
In fact, thanks to the Pennsylvania
Automated License System (PALS),
hunters can purchase a second spring
gobbler tag at any issuing agent or
through the agencys website.
Roe cautioned that those who plan to
purchase the second spring gobbler tag
through the agencys website should
expect to wait 7-10 days for shipping,
depending on the volume of other online
purchases.
Also, all sales of the second spring
gobbler tag will cease April 20, which is
the day before the one-day season for
junior license holders and those partici-
pating in the Mentored Youth Hunting
Program.
Prior to the implementation of PALS,
hunters had to wait until Jan. 1 before
submitting a license application for the
second spring gobbler tag, and then wait
for the agency to mail the license back to
them, Roe said. The old process was
necessary to enable the agency to
spread out the administrative workload
of processing and handling licenses for
the fall hunting seasons.
However, thanks to PALS, hunters can
now purchase the second spring gobbler
tag at any issuing agent and walk out of
the store with the license in hand, or
they can purchase it online and wait for
it to be mailed to them within 10 days.
Fees set by state law for the special
license are $21.70 for residents and
$41.70 for nonresidents. For online or-
ders, there are additional shipping and
handling costs.
The spring gobbler season is set to run
from April 28-May 31. Legal hunting
hours for the opening day of the spring
gobbler season through the third Sat-
urday (April 28-May 12) will be one-half
hour before sunrise until noon; the re-
mainder of the season (May 14-31) will
have legal shooting hours of one-half
hour before sunrise until one-half hour
after sunset.
The one-day spring gobbler youth
hunt will be held April 21, and will run
from one-half hour before sunrise until
noon.
License display repeal
Begining Feb. 13, hunters and trappers
no longer have to display their licenses
on an outer garment, but they still must
have their licenses in their possession
while afield, as well as a secondary form
of identification, such as a drivers li-
cense.
House Bill 735, sponsored by Rep.
Keith Gillespie (R-York), was unanimously
approved by the House on June 15, and
was approved by a vote of 46-3 in the
Senate. Gov. Tom Corbett signed the bill
into law Dec. 15, but the change in law
didnt take effect for 60 days.
O U T D O O R S N E WS
restrictions play a role
because it enables more
bucks to reach older age
classes.
Pennsylvania white-
tailed deer always had the
genetics, they just needed
help getting to that older
age and thats what antler
restrictions have afford-
ed, Feaser said.
The PGC also maintains
its own record book. To
qualify, a typical buck
taken with a rifle must
score a minimum of 140,
while a buck taken while
bowhunting needs to
score 115 or better.
Feaser said the agency
didnt see an increase in
the number of bucks qual-
ifying for its record book
until 2005, three years
after antler restrictions
took effect.
The increase was partic-
ular noticeable with ar-
chery bucks, Feaser said,
because the minimum
score is lower.
Still, he said antler
restrictions werent direct-
ly involved in the increase
in record-book bucks.
It wasnt intended to
produce trophy bucks,
Feaser said. It just al-
lowed yearling bucks to
reach the next age class.
The increase in record-
book bucks is an unin-
tended but positive by-
product of antler restric-
tions.
More Pennsylvania
bucks are hitting the re-
cord books than ever
before, and officials say
antler restrictions are only
one reason why.
The two major orga-
nizations for recording
trophy whitetails both
report an increase over
the last several years
both on the national level
and in the number of
entries from Pennsylvania.
The Boone and Crock-
ett Club reported a 400
percent increase in trophy
whitetail entries over the
last 30 years. From1980-
85, 617 whitetails made it
into the Boone and Crock-
ett record book.
From 2005-10, that
number jumped to 3,090.
To qualify for the Boone
and Crockett awards
book, a typical whitetail
buck must score a mini-
mum of 160.
According to Keith
Balfourd, director of mar-
keting for Boone and
Crockett, a number of
factors are behind the
increase, including im-
proved habitat, manage-
ment programs that allow
bucks to live longer and
more hunters simply
holding out for a trophy
deer.
Bottom line is there is
no blanket answer. It is
good news however, be-
cause the majority of
possible reasons are tied
back to game manage-
ment, so clearly were
doing something right by
the deer and the habitats
they live in, Balfourd
said.
From1980-85, Penn-
sylvania was tied for last
among states and Cana-
dian provinces with no
entries. For the period
2005-10, Pennsylvania
ranked 20th on the list
with 26 entries.
Pennsylvania also had
more entries than any of
its bordering states with
the exception of Ohio,
which listed 215 entries
and placed fourth overall.
Balfourd said the antler
restrictions enacted by the
Pennsylvania Game Com-
mission that took effect in
2002 had an impact on the
number of trophy deer
harvested in the state.
PGC spokesman Jerry
Feaser agreed that antler
The Pope and Young
Club, which maintains a
records program for big
game animals taken with
archery equipment (long-
bows, recurves and com-
pound bows only), has
also experienced a steep
hike in the number of
entries both nationally
and from Pennsylvania.
Pope and Young records
trophy data in two-year
periods, and from1999-
2000, 91 typical Penn-
sylvania archery bucks
made the record book. In
2003-04 after antler
restrictions were imple-
mented, 162 Pennsylvania
bucks qualified for the
Pope and Young book.
The number stayed con-
stant until 2009-10, when
it jumped to 207. Penn-
sylvania ranks 11th overall
for contributing bucks to
the Pope and Young re-
cord book.
Nationally, in 1999-
2000, the club recorded
3,875 trophy archery
bucks, compared to 5,084
from 2009-10.
Kevin Hisey, executive
secretary for the Pope and
Young Club, said antler
restrictions are only one
reason for the hike.
The other has to do
with hunters themselves,
he said.
Its pretty clear that
over time hunters have
become a lot more selec-
tive in their hunting,
which we support, Hisey
said. You also have other
variables involved, such as
the increased exposure of
the records program, the
increase in the popularity
of archery and improved
management practices in
some states.
There definitely has
been an increase in the
number of record book
books nationwide, but its
not as dramatic as what
weve seen from Penn-
sylvania in the last 10
years.
The number of record bucks harvested is on the rise across Pennsylvania

PORTLAND, Maine A fed-
eral judge has ruledthat a lawsuit
brought against theoperators of a
damon the Kennebec River in an
effort to protect the endangered
Atlantic salmon can move for-
ward.
The judge ruled Thursday that
the case deserves to be heard on
its merits.
The lawsuit, brought by
Friends of Merrymeeting Bay
and Environment Maine, claims
the Hydro Kennebec dam vio-
lates federal endangered species
laws because it kills fish and
blocks access to salmon habitat.
The defendants, Brookfield
Power U.S. Asset Management
LLC and an affiliate, Hydro Ken-
nebec LLC, sought to have the
case dismissed or put on hold to
allow federal agencies to deal
with the issue.
The companies argued the
case is too complex for a federal
judge to decide; and that no vio-
lation of the law is occurring.
Salmon protection

CHADRON, Neb. Forty
bighorn sheep captured in Cana-
da have been released on private
land in the northwest corner of
Nebraska, bolstering the states
small but recovering population.
The five rams and35ewes were
released Thursday near the Pan-
handle town of Harrison in Sioux
County, the Nebraska Game and
Parks Commission said in a news
release Friday.
The sheep were captured by
dropnets onTuesday inthe Cana-
dian Rockies west of Edmonton,
near Hinton. The commission
said 17 commission staff mem-
bers and two U.S. Department of
Agriculture veterinarians went to
Canada to help capture the sheep
andbringthemtotheir newhome
in Nebraska.
Bighorn sheep are native to Ne-
braska but were killed off in the
early 1900s by loss of habitat, dis-
easeandunregulatedhunting. Be-
fore Thursday, Nebraskas bigh-
orn population had been estimat-
ed at 315 sheep.
The release will bolster the
states herdbyfillinghabitat inthe
Sowbelly Canyon area, which has
not been home to bighorn sheep
for more than100 years, as well as
diversifyingthe genetics of the ex-
isting Pine Ridge population.
"Weve done a lot of observa-
tions, we have looked at the hab-
itat andhadsome modelingdone.
Through all of that, weve identi-
fiedareas that aregoodsheephab-
itat but are unoccupied," said
Todd Nordeen, the wildlife biolo-
gist in charge of the commissions
Panhandle operations. He also
heads the agencys bighorn sheep
program.
The restoration began with the
1981releaseof adozensheepfrom
South Dakota into a 500-acre en-
closure at Fort Robinson State
Park near Crawford. Since 2001,
122 sheep from Colorado and
Montana have been released in
the Pine Ridge east of Crawford
and in the Wildcat Hills near Ger-
ing.
The relocation was paid for by
the sale and auction of 17 bighorn
sheep hunting permits issued
since 1998, the commission said.
Canadian bighorn sheep relocated to Nebraska
HAMILTON TOWNSHIP -- A
local farmwoodlot has newlife as
a forest.
Six years ago, Lionel Lemery,
retired U.S. forester, set out to ful-
fill Larry Millers dream of restor-
ing 34 wooded acres in Hamilton
Township.
"I love wood," said Miller, a
founder of the Cumberland Valley
Wood Turners. "I wanted to keep
(the woodlot) somewhat pristine
and keep it as natural as possible.
Woodis a renewable resource, but
you have to renew it on a regular
basis."
The wooded oasis hugs a tiny
tributary of the Conococheague
Creek on the valley floor - past the
$200,000newhomesandjust over
thecrest of cropland. Maturehick-
ory trees surround a three-acre
pond noisy with Canada geese.
Woodpeckers rap on old snaps.
Lemerysaidhesseenabaldeagle,
an osprey, deer, turkeys and foxes.
Bluebirds nest inthebirdboxes he
set out.
Tires, trash, a migrant camp,
utility poles and invasive plants
were removed. More than 700
trees of 26 species, including
American chestnut, were planted.
Old timber was logged.
"Our hopeis eventuallytomake
it available to the public for walk-
ing and watching wildlife, maybe
catch-and-release (fishing)," Mill-
er said. "It takesawhiletoeducate
the public withwhat youre doing.
Weretryingtomakeit availablein
a gradual way so people will come
to appreciate whats there. Its a
long way to get it to where we
want it to be."
Soon after Lemery took on the
project, someone dumped70 tires
on the property. Opening the pri-
vately owned land to walkers may
discourage similar activities, he
said.
"People who use land for legiti-
mate purposes tend to discourage
irresponsible use," Lemery said.
Private forest owners own
about half of the 160,000 acres of
forestland in Franklin County.
They own more than half the for-
estland in the U.S., and more than
70 percent in Pennsylvania.
A farm woodlot - often too
steep, too rocky or too wet for
farming - can become a catch-all.
The Miller woodlot was no excep-
tion.
"There wasnt a day I came out
here that I didnt take home a bag
of trash," Lemery said.
Dump trucks hauled out five
loads of metal for recycling. Tri-
axles took three loads.
"Unlikemost woodlots, thetim-
ber here had not been degraded,"
Lemery said.
Hethinnedthetreesandleft the
crown trees so their seeds could
regeneratetheforest. Hedesigned
the skid trails to serve as walking
trails when the logging was fin-
ished.
Lemery calls it his "hobby
woodlot." Hes discovered hope
for American chestnut saplings.
Hes found satisfaction in reusing
discarded items.
Thewoodlots trails includefive
foot bridges that his grandchil-
dren assembled fromhis sons old
fence posts. Lemery designedand
built a 30-foot span.
"I laid awake in the mornings
tryingtofigurehowtodothat," he
said.
Thebridgeincludessawedpiec-
es of an aluminum extension lad-
der for support, the concrete cap
fromanoldcesspool for afooter as
well as pressure-treatedlumber. A
former high-dive ladder takes hik-
ers up one approach.
Lemery sought to control inva-
sive plants, such as Ailanthus,
honeysuckle and multiflora, soon
after he completed his steward-
ship plan in 2006.
Within a year, Allegheny Power
removed three utility poles and a
contractor removedthreemigrant
cabins, two sheep pens, a cold cel-
lar and a dump site. Lemery took
down a half-mile fence of single-
strand wire and all of the staples
fromthe trees to protect the value
of the timber.
The American chestnut seeds
he planted in 2007 have grown in-
to trees bearing nuts this fall for
the first time. He will plant the 25
viable seeds on the property and
in agreement with the American
Chestnut Foundation, which sup-
plied the original seed. Ablight in
the early 20th century virtually
wiped out one of the largest and
most useful trees in the Appala-
chian mountains.
Miller took advantage of gov-
ernment programs that encour-
age forest stewardship. He re-
ceived$320for astewardshipplan
and $1,800 for invasive species
control, according to a spokeswo-
man for the Pennsylvania Depart-
ment of ConservationandNatural
Resources.
Miller said he inherited the
woodlot from his aunt, and ex-
pects it will be surrounded with
homes one day.

PORTLAND, Ore. A hun-
ter inIdaho has shot andkilleda
sibling of an Oregon wolf that
became a celebrity by wander-
inghundreds of miles fromEast-
ern Oregon and into Northern
California looking for a mate.
Oregon Department Fish and
Wildlife spokeswoman said the
wolf shot in Idaho, tagged OR-9,
came from the same parents as
his famous brother, OR-7.
OR-9 was shot on Feb. 2, said
Idaho Department of Fish and
Game spokesman Michael
Keckler.
"The hunter checked here af-
ter (the wolf) was harvested,"
Keckler said. "The hunter fol-
lowed the proper protocol,
brought the hide andskull tothe
Fish and Game office."
The wolf was taken between
Emmett and Banks. Its collar is
being returned to Oregon.
Keckler said the hunters tag
was out of date andhe was given
a warning. The hunter had valid
tags throughthe endof 2011, but
was incorrectly told he didnt
need new tags in 2012.
Under new Idaho legislation,
the hunters name is not consid-
ered public record.
The wolf hunting season in
most of Idaho lasts fromAug. 30
to March 31. The wolf was last
seen in Oregon last summer,
and is believed to have crossed
into Idaho with two of his sib-
lings, including OR-7.
OR-7, Oregons famous wan-
dering wolf, became a media ce-
lebrity while looking for a mate
last year.
OR-9s hide may be kept by
the Idaho Department of Fish
and Game or sold at auction.
The two wolves are part of the
Imnaha pack.
The Oregon Department of
Fish and Wildlife has issued a
kill order for two members of
the pack, but a federal judge has
blocked it. The Legislature is
considering a bill backed by
ranchers that would give the
state explicit authority to kill
the wolves.
The measure, opposed by
conservationists, is in a state
House committee and could be
advanced Tuesday, but it would
face an uphill climb in the full
House and Senate.
AP OHOTO
Biologist John Stephenson uses a tape to calculate the stride
of Oregons epic wanderer, the gray wolf known as OR-7.

This little taste
of winter weath-
er will continue
through the
weekend and
possibly return
on Valentines
Day. This morn-
ing will start off
very cold. We will
have a mostly
cloudy day.
Sunshine returns
on Monday. The
forecast for
Valentines Day
will be cloudy
with urries. By
mid-week, the
40s will return
with partly
cloudy skies.
Thursday will
start off nice, but
then turn cloudy
as a light mix of
rain and snow
approaches our
region. Friday
and Saturday will
be mostly
cloudy, with a
chance for rain
and snow show-
ers and highs in
the 40s.

NATIONAL FORECAST: A frontal boundary draped from the Northwest to the Southwest will be
responsible for scattered precipitation across the West today. Look for showers along the Northwest
coast, with snowfall extending across the Intermountain West and Rockies. Snowfall associated with
this front will fall as far south as northern Texas, with showers falling from Utah to southern Texas.

TUESDAY IS Valen-
tines Day and that
means wine, roses,
chocolates, dinner,
perfume, teddy bears,
jewelry, Hallmark
greetings and big
bucks being spent.
But there are ways to get that spe-
cial someone all the glitz and glamour
while saving some gelt.
While I fully support local florists,
jewelers and chocolatiers, sometimes
in tough economic times, grocery
stores, big box stores and even drug
stores can offer similar items and a
lower rate.
Target has a dozen roses for $16.99.
Some ladies prefer tulips to roses. If
thats true of yours, Thomas Food-
town markets has two bunches of 10
tulips on sale for $12.
Kmart has 70 percent off all dia-
mond jewelry plus an extra 10 percent
off today through Tuesday.
The JC Penney circular in todays
Times Leader is loaded with gift ideas
at reasonable prices. I was hesitant at
first about the new JCP sales policy
but with prices like these, I am start-
ing to cope pretty well.
Weis has a six-count pack of choco-
late covered strawberries for $9.99.
Rite Aid has boxes of Hersheys Pot
of Gold on sale for $3.99. Use your
Wellness+ Card and get $2 in Up Re-
wards printed on your receipt good for
a future store purchase. You can get up
to four Up Rewards on this deal so
load up if your sweetie really likes
chocolate.
If a higher priced chocolate is more
your type then head to Macys where
Godiva chocolates are 25 percent off.
Rite Aid also has selected fragrances
buy-one, get-one free. You must use
your store card to get the deal.
Quiznos is offering a free cookie on
Valentines Day with this coupon:
http://www.quiznos.com/valentines-
day-coupon.aspx. There is no purchase
necessary.
This has more to do with just being
a darn good deal but Ill incorporate it
into the Valentines themed column
anyway. Head to Price Chopper this
week to get some sugar for your sugar.
Four pound bags of Clear Value sugar
are on sale for $2. Or buy it and bake a
cake. A dozen eggs are on sale for $1
and Betty Crocker super moist cake
mix boxes are on sale for $1.19.
If youre looking for a nice outing
with your significant other, Chackos
Family Bowling Center has a sweet-
heart special Tuesday from noon to 10
p.m. Stop in with your mate and get
four games of bowling, two shoe rent-
als, a small plain pizza, a pitcher of
soda and a rose for the lady, all for just
$20.
If you want a quieter, more relaxing
getaway, head to Tranquility Styling
Salon and Day Spa in Plains Township
where there are a few Valentines Day
specials. Get a one-hour couples mas-
sage for $130 or a one-hour chocolate

das second-largest bank is one of
the 10 biggest lenders in the U.S. by
assets, and may soon have the third-
most branches in New York City, a
banking market almost as big as

DALLAS Nowadays, an applica-
tion and a mobile device are all an en-
trepreneur needs to run a business.
The mobile app revolution makes
it easy and inexpensive or even
free for entrepreneurs to manage
their entire operation with or with-
out an office. All they need is a smart-
phone or tablet.
Entrepreneurs are increasingly
turning to the more than 1 million
mobile apps available to meet their
business needs. Forrester Research
estimates that revenue from custom-
ers downloading mobile apps will re-
ach $38 billion by 2015.
An app can help you start a compa-
ny, share spreadsheets and process
credit card payments. Theres even
an app that acts as a virtual customer
assistant to help small businesses
seem bigger than they are.
Apps can save time and money,
boost sales and productivity, and
help small business owners improve
efficiency. They can also give con-
sumers new ways to interact and
communicate with companies.
More than one-third of U.S. small
business owners surveyed by Intuit
said annual business growth was the
biggest worry keeping them up at
night. Nearly half said its important
to be able to run their business on a
mobile device.
Here are some examples of howen-
trepreneurs are using mobile apps.
PINTEREST: This popular e-pin-
board discourages self-promotion,
but some savvy small business own-
ers use it to showcase their products
or services.
McKinney, Texas, event and party
planner Shelley ODonnell has used
Pinterest to help promote and grow
her business in the last six months.
ODonnell pins images of themed
parties she planned so people can see
her work. She also creates vision
boards of ideas on Pinterest and
shows them to clients on her iPad.
If people like what they see, theyll
re-pin it.
Pinterest is also driving traffic to
her website, divinepartyconcept-
s.com, as people see images sourced
to her company.
Pinterest is best for businesses
with a visual side. For example, an
interior designer could use it to pin
photos of redecorated rooms or a
landscaper can share pruning advice.
Its an invitation-only site, but peo-
ple can follow each other as they do
on Twitter. Business owners can
make it easy for Pinterest users to pin
their images by adding a Pin It but-
ton to product pages.

W
ith Valentines Day just
days away, area business-
es are prepared to meet
demands that range from traditional
red roses to decadent flavors.
In some cases, planning to meet or-
ders for the romantic date began
months ago.
Lisa Griffiths, director of sales and
marketing at igourmet.com in West
Pittston, said the specialty foods e-
marketer has been looking at ven-
dors products in anticipation of Val-
entines Day since December.
During her seven years
with igourmet.com, Griffiths
said Valentines Day has been
the second-largest holiday in
sales. Igourmet.com is one of
the largest retailers of gour-
met food items in North
America. Last years Valen-
tines Day sales were
$100,000, she said.
Orders begin coming in
about two weeks before, she
said.
Imported cheeses and
chocolate gifts are not all that
sells. Sales of Apple Ghost
Chili Salt Caramels, made
with a sprinkle of the Bhut Jo-
lokia chili pepper, the hottest
in the world, are strong, as
well as for combinations with
bacon and chocolate.
Local candy shops cater to
different taste buds.
David Hawk, chairman of
the board and director of re-
search and development at
Gertrude Hawk Chocolates
in Dunmore, said the Wyom-
ing Valley has traditional
tastes, but hes noticed some
change over the years.
Hawk, in the chocolate
business for 41years, has seen
top-selling items change from
vanilla butter creams 25 years
ago, to chocolate covered
strawberries, Smidgens, and
caramel apples today.
Dark chocolate is gaining
in popularity, too, he said.
Tastes aside, Hawk saidthe
holiday has remainedsteadily
successful through the ups
and downs of the economy.
Splurging on a box of sweets
is still anaffordable way to ex-
press feelings.
Valentines Day is our
third biggest holiday in sales

IN FULL BLOOM
Valentines Day helps business blossom for area retailers
By EILEEN GODIN
See VALENTINE, Page 2D
G
ov. Tom Corbett has joined the
chorus of politicians who say
they can create jobs, a dubious
claim and one that would seem to
collide with conservative goals to get
government out of the way so that
businesses can thrive on their own.
But there it is in black and white, a
headline on the press release from the
state Department of Labor & Indus-
try: Governor Corbetts Budget Plan
Will Help Create Jobs, Improve Em-
ployment Services.
Granted, it says Will Help and not
Will Create, but the sentiment is the
same. And you can be sure that if a
year from now more Pennsylvanians
are working, Corbett will take credit.
Its interesting how L&I says it will
do a better job for the jobless and their
potential employers. The department
will be able to absorb necessary re-
ductions in funding without compro-
mising the quality of services it pro-
vides the release states.
This is not impossible; fewer people
with better-targeted responsibilities
can outperform a larger, lazier work-
force. Six months into my first real
management job it became necessary
to fire one of six salespeople in my
department. Two of his friends quit in
protest, leaving us with three. Our
sales went up consistently starting the
next month.
But government isnt a business,
and its unlikely that whatever hap-
pens in state offices this year will have
a similar influence on Pennsylvanias
economy.
Corbett makes this promise in his
stump speech for his budget: By
keeping taxes low and holding down
government spending, this leaves
more money in the part of the econo-
my that creates the best jobs, the free
market.
Ive been in a lot of budget and plan-
ning meetings over the years and
never heard that government spend-
ing was hurting our business. Accord-
ing to most economists, its just the
opposite, at least in the short term;
just look at the fight over extending
the payroll tax cut and unemploy-
ment benefits. If thats not done, esti-
mates are the nations gross domestic
product will be a half to a full percent
lower in 2012 as struggling families
have even less money to spend.
But maybe Ive been in the wrong
company. There is a place where gov-
ernment spending and the accompany-
ing borrowing may hurt private firms;
the board rooms of the giant banks
and corporations that subsidize many
a political career.
Our governor has plenty of compa-
ny in his irrational claim to power
over the economy. How many times in
the last couple of years has President
Barack Obama promised this policy or
that program would put the economy
back on the right track, only to find it
had little influence. More than hed
like to remember in this election year.
The truth is that only more demand
will convince employers to produce
more, expand offices and add staff.
And whether that comes from govern-
ment or private coffers makes little
difference.
And lets not forget there is another
side to the ledger. By steadfastly refus-
ing to ask Marcellus Shale gas drillers
to pay a reasonable severance tax, he
is in effect spending our potential
income on subsidies for an industry
that does not need them.
I agree with Corbett that govern-
ment must become more effective and
efficient. The problems with govern-
ment spending are as much how its
spent as how much.
But to cut spending because you
want to leave more money available
to businesses is both erroneous and
heartless.

Q: Although I work extreme-
ly hard, I get almost no appre-
ciation. In fact, my entire team
seems to resent my working
style. My clients are not happy
with me, and neither is my
boss. The human resources
manager has also mentioned
that I have a problem.
This is the second time Ive
been in this situation, so Im
afraid I might be fired. I would
like to talk to my boss about it,
but I dont know how to initi-
ate the conversation. How can
I fix this?
A: If your colleagues, clients,
boss and HR manager are all
displeased with you, then you
desperately need a career res-
cue strategy. Given that these
problems have arisen before,
the pattern is quite likely to re-
peat unless you make some
major modifications.
The good news is that you
have recognized the need to
change, but the bad news is
that you appear completely
baffled about the cause of your
difficulties. To begin defining
the issue, request some feed-
back from your boss and HR
manager.
For example: I realize
things arent going well in my
job, but I honestly dont know
what Im doing wrong. I would
appreciate it if you could help
me understand what I need to
do differently. Can you de-
scribe two or three specific
changes that I should make?
Listen to their observations
without arguing, then prepare
a personal development plan,
specifically describing the be-
haviors you intend to modify.
After reviewing the plan with
your boss, schedule regular
meetings to assess your pro-
gress.
Changing your work style
wont be easy, but if you are
truly motivated, it can be
done. And I guarantee that
management will be im-
pressed with your willingness
to try.
Q: A woman in my office
wears so much perfume that
you can still smell it after she
passes by. Unfortunately, her
cubicle is next to mine, and the
constant odor gives me a head-
ache. When I mentioned this
to her supervisor, he said no
one else had complained. Now
Im debating whether to leave
her an anonymous note or go
to human resources. What do
you think?
A: In my opinion, no one
should ever wear perfume to
work, because the smell can be
extremely irritating to both
co-workers and customers.
Perfume wearers tend to be
oblivious to this problem, how-
ever, because people are sel-
dom aware of their own scent.
Anonymous notes are ob-
noxious, so someone needs to
give your overly-fragrant col-
league some personal feed-
back. Since her boss wont
cooperate, the remaining
choices are you and the HR
manager. If you are brave
enough to tackle this talk your-
self, make it a request, not a
criticism.
For example: Mary, I need
to ask you a favor. Perfume
gives me a really bad head-
ache, even if the fragrance is
pleasant. Since we sit so close
to each other, would you mind
not wearing it in the office?
On the other hand, if your
colleague is a touchy sort, it
might be safer to have the HR
manager deliver the message
without mentioning your
name.

coming in after Easter and
Christmas, he said.
With 70 locations dishing out
chocolates, Hawk said the com-
pany does not hire additional
staff, but gives extra hours to
part-time employees.
When the holiday falls during
the week has an affect on total
sales. Hawksaidthis is a frequent
debate around his office. He feels
when the holiday falls on a Sun-
day sales suffer from shorter
store hours.
Rick Berry, owner of McCar-
thy Flowers, Wilkes-Barre, said
when the holiday falls mid-week
as it does this year, it is more prof-
itable than on a weekend.
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurs-
day, are good. People are more
likely to sendflowers to the office
thanthey are to go out to dinner,
Berry said. It also helps that the
majority of guys wait until the
last minute to shop.
Berry said his family comes
out of the woodwork to help
with Valentines Day orders and
deliveries. He also hires extra
drivers to meet the demand.
Im anticipating 400 deliver-
ies. Well have 16 drivers going,
Berry said. Well be ready to
push out 200 arranged roses.
Berry said the $85 price tag for
a dozen red roses is the same as
five years ago.
Wendy Fritz, owner of O-Live
in Hunlock Creek, is anticipating
a good crowd for the fine dining
restaurants first Valentines Day.
We are already half-booked,
she said last week.
Fritz expects the bulk of the
crowd to arrive during the week-
end and will offer a special Valen-
tines Day menu on the weekends
before and after the holiday.
To meet demand she is pulling
staff in from other shifts.

The National Retail Federation
expects Americans to spend an
average of $126 on their swee-

increase from 201 1. But a survey
by credit card issuer Visa Inc. sees

The Visa survey found women
planning to reduce spending by 14
percent, while men plan to spend
6 percent more.

ents, to being built around trad-
ers, said Clark, 64. And that
was not a good thing for society
and it wasnt a good thing in the
end for the banking system.
Toronto-Dominion and other
Canadian lenders avoided sub-
prime lending and structured
products during the worst fi-
nancial crisis since the Great
Depression. Canadas banking
system has been ranked the
worlds soundest for four
straight years by the World Ec-
onomic Forum, and avoided
government bailouts.
Im a big believer that you
should run an institution and
become capable of understand-
ing any part of the institution
that you run, Clark said. The
moment youre saying No, no,
no, but I have a third vice presi-
dent that does, look out. I like
to keep institutions a little nar-
row in their focus.
TDs narrow focus began in
August 2004, when the lender
announced it would buy 51 per-
cent of Portland, Maine-based
Banknorth Group for $3.5 bil-
lion.
A year later, the bank sold
TD Waterhouse to TD Ameri-
trade Holding, making it the
largest shareholder in the Oma-
ha, Neb.-based discount broker-
age.
By 2007, Toronto-Dominion
had acquired the rest of Bank-
north for $3.19 billion. In
March 2008, the bank bought
Cherry Hill, N.J.-based Com-
merce Bancorp for about $8.33
billion. Toronto-Dominion add-
ed South Financial Group for
$191.6 million and now has
about 160 branches in Florida.
Toronto-Dominion pur-
chased auto lender Chrysler Fi-
nancial from Cerberus Capital
Management in 2010 for about
$6.3 billion. Clark said a year
ago that the bank will become a
top-10 auto lender in the U.S.
within three to four years.

BILLBOARDS GO 3-D TO FIGHT
DIGITAL COMPETITION
MCT PHOTO
A
3-D billboard for Red Gold diced tomatoes is shown in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Conven-
tional billboards are increasingly adding a third dimension as advertisers seek to
compete with costly new electronic signs. Red Gold Tomatoes Inc., an Elmwood, Ind.-
based company specializing in canned tomato products, used the brightly colored, 3-D
display as a way to introduce its brand in Fort Lauderdale, said Greg Metzger, the direc-
tor of marketing for Red Gold Inc. The eye-catching billboard is wrapped in a bright
green vine with dangling tomatoes and two very large soup cans. Advertisers are more
often opting for three-dimensional signs to attract attention in billboard-heavy markets,
according to Jodi Senese, executive vice president for New York-based CBS Outdoor.
Advertisers want to put something out there thats compelling and attention-getting,
Senese said. The extra dimension lets Red Gold hold its own against more expensive
electronic billboards, which are proliferating. In general, a single digital advertisement is
less expensive than a conventional billboard Senese said. But since each electronic bill-
board carries up to eight ads that rotate periodically, to purchase all eight flips on one
billboard can be expensive.

AWORRYING OUTLIER
Strong economic reports have powered the markets rise this year, but
one troubling indicator is forcing investors to take pause. The Baltic Dry
index has been painfully weak. It tracks how much shippers charge to
move coal and other commodities around the world, and economists care
about it because higher shipping prices usually indicate a stronger global
economy. But economist Julian
Jessop with Capital Economics
says not to get worried just yet.
Part of the weakness is because
of a surge in new ships coming
into service: The increased sup-
ply is lowering shipping prices.
Demand also may have been
weak in early 2012 because of a
temporary lull around the Lunar
New Year. But if the index re-
mains low in coming weeks, the
global economy may not be as
strong as investors now believe.
T-SHIRTS IN FEBRUARY
Sales of childrens T-shirts rose 164 per-
cent from a year earlier in the central Mid-
west at the end of January and beginning
of February. Not what youd expect from
the dead of winter, but Planalytics, which
analyzes weather and retailing trends, re-
ported that the sales surge came as many
parts of the country had their warmest start
to February in 19 years. It was also the
12th straight week in which temperatures
were down from where they were a year
ago, and down from the norm. Across the
country, childrens T-shirt sales were up 37
percent. Sales of coats and other types of
outerwear fell 25 percent nationwide. And
sales of heaters were down by nearly half.
Not all the country was basking in the
warmth, though. Denver had its biggest
February snowstorm ever.
CEO EXODUS
Announcements of planned CEO depar-
tures blipped up in January after taper-
ing down at the end of 2011, according
to a count by Challenger, Gray & Christ-
mas, an outplacement firm. There were
123 announcements, up from 83 in De-
cember and 96 a year earlier. Health
care companies had the most an-
nouncements 25. Health care also
had the most CEO exits last year, 187.
Challenger CEO John Challenger (right)
said the number of departures in 2011
was relatively mild, at 1,178. His theory
is that companies were still focused on
cutting costs last year as the economy
remained tenuous. But things are look-
ing better in 2012, and he says compa-
nies may try to find leaders who are able
to drive expansion.

Bonds arent in a bubble, Jim
Keegan says. He is chief in-
vestment officer of Seix Invest-
ment Advisors, and he runs the
RideWorth Total Return Bond
Fund (SAMFX). Some strate-
gists expect
interest
rates to rise
soon, which
would hurt
investors
holding
bonds.
When inter-
est rates
rise, bond
prices fall.
But Keegan
says inter-
est rates can stay low because
demand is still high for bonds.
Weve been hearing that
bonds are in a bubble since
2008 or so.
Ive been hearing it longer
than that, certainly the last sev-
en or 10 years. Weve been of
the view that rates will stay low-
er for longer. (Short-term inter-
est rates) will remain anchored
as long as (Federal Reserve
Chairman Ben) Bernanke is in
that chair. But we believe also
that there are fundamental and
technical reasons for why rates
can stay lower for longer other
than just the flight to quality rea-
son. (Many investors have run
to Treasurys, driving up their
price and pushing down yields.)
It relates to the savings prob-
lem in this country. Youve got
78 million baby boomers retiring
over the next 17 years, and as a
cohort, they have inadequate
savings. That to us says there is
a pent-up demand to save rath-
er than to spend. It also says to
us that as the population ages,
their investment horizon is
shorter: It tends to be more
about return of capital than re-
turn on capital. In this zero inter-
est rate policy environment,
people are forced into (bonds).
Then when you look into the
last 10 years, youve had two
50-plus percent corrections in
stocks, youve had a financial
oligopoly and too-big-to-fail in-
stitutions that almost brought
the system to its knees, and
they paid themselves the best
bonuses ever the year after the
taxpayers bailed them out. And
youve got a flash crash in 2010
that nobody quite understands
Ive heard people say the
system is rigged. And it seems
that when you combine that
psychology with the demograph-
ics, that argues for (people buy-
ing more bonds) and therefore
rates staying lower for longer.
So, no bubble?
I find it hard to call something a
bubble when youre getting 2
percent on it. (The 10-year
Treasury note has a yield of
about 2 percent). Theres a re-
turn. If you hold it, youre not
going to lose money. I have
trouble with the whole concept
of a bond bubble.
Will rates go up at some
point? Absolutely, but our view
is that its not going up any time
soon.
And you like corporate
bonds?
Were overweight in invest-
ment-grade corporates and in
high yield. Our investment the-
sis right now is: safe income at
a reasonable price in a zero in-
terest rate policy world.
Youre not worried about de-
faults by high yield bonds,
which are also known as junk
bonds?
The high yield market has
pushed out the (bulk of their
maturities) to 2014, so the de-
fault rate is not going to rise
very much this year, even if the
economy slows or doesnt grow
much. But we realize there will
be volatility.

REITS
S&P 500
The King of Prussia mall in Pennsylvania.
AP Sources: National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts; S&P Indices Data through Feb. 9
Real opportunities
Commercial real estate has been a better investment
than most stocks since 2009. Financial analysts say
theyre still worth buying.
The easiest way to invest is with a REIT a real
estate investment trust. REITs own
office buildings, shopping centers and
apartment complexes. They trade like
stocks and they pass most of their
profits on to shareholders as dividends.
Bill Stone, chief investment
strategist at PNC Wealth Management,
suggests investors keep 7 percent of
their stock portfolio in REITs. Here are
reasons he and other analysts
recommend them:
Dividends. REITs have an

average dividend yield of 3.6 percent.
Thats higher than the average 2.1
percent yield for S&P 500 stocks and 2
percent yield for the 10-year Treasury.
REITs also raise their dividends at a
faster rate than inflation, Stone says.
Since 1992, there have been only two
years that their dividend growth hasnt beat inflation.
Astrengthening economy. Employers added

243,000 jobs last month, the most since April. Thats
expected to mean more demand for office space.
Low interest rates. The Federal

Reserve has said it probably wont
raise short-term interest rates until late
2014 at the earliest. That will keep
borrowing costs low for REITs.
You can buy individual REITs or
funds that invest in them. Credit
Suisse analyst Andrew Rosivach
suggests buying Simon Property
Group (SPG). It owns several
high-profile properties like the King of
Prussia mall in Pennsylvania.
Morningstars top-rated REIT
mutual fund is T. Rowe Price Real
Estate (TRREX). It ranks in the top
quarter of all REIT funds for 10-year
returns, and it sells stocks less often
than peers. That means smaller tax
bills for investors.
REITs crashed with stocks in 2008 because the credit crunch cut off financing and the weak economy
sapped demand for commercial real estate. But REITS have since done better than stocks.

Sticking with small
Stock
Screener
Investors are still betting against some small-cap stocks. That could
be a good thing for those who believe small caps will keep doing well.
Consider Coinstar, a small-cap company that runs coin-counting
and DVD-rental kiosks. Of its available shares, 41 percent have been
sold short. Thats when an investor borrows a share, sells it and hopes
to buy it back later at a lower price to pocket the difference.
But heavily shorted stocks can benefit from whats called a short
squeeze. Thats when sentiment around a stock lifts, and short sellers
rush to buy shares before the stock climbs much higher.
On Feb. 6, Coinstar reported a 170 percent increase in fourth-
quarter profit and a video-streaming partnership deal with Verizon,
which raised optimism. Its stock jumped 14 percent the next day.
This screen from J.P. Morgan shows other small-cap stocks that
have been sold short but are still well-liked by its analysts. All these
stocks have Buy ratings from J.P. Morgan.

Mortgage rates still low
The average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage re-
mained at 3.87 percent last week, a record low. But
rates on shorter-term mortgages inched higher.
The average rate on a 15-year fixed mortgage rose
to 3.16 percent from 3.14 percent. Thats because
rates tend to follow the direction of Treasury yields.
Yields have dropped steadily the last year but
ticked higher last week.

Procter & Gamble
in 2012
How will Procter & Gamble
(NYSE: PG) fare in 2012? Well, if
the economy is weak, consumers
may not stop shaving or brush-
ing their teeth, but they may forgo
higher-end items such as tooth-whit-
ening products and may even pass up
name brands such as Crest and Tide
in favor of private-label products.
In the meantime, P&G and its
peers have been juicing their growth
rates by expanding their reach into
emerging markets. The slice of
P&Gs sales that came from outside
the U.S. expanded from 62 percent
in fiscal 2010 to 63 percent in fiscal
2011. If a 1 percent change doesnt
sound like much to you, consider
that when were talking about nearly
$83 billion in revenue, it represents
hundreds of millions of dollars.
Then there are rising commod-
ity costs, which threaten profits.
P&Gs strong brands do give it
more power to raise prices, but in a
tough economy thats problematic,
as price hikes may give customers
the excuse they need to trade down
or buy from a competitor.
Procter & Gambles stock is
currently valued fairly and worth
holding, but its not an irresistible
bargain. But with strong brands and
dependable operations, it shouldnt
give investors many sleepless nights.
Factor in a solid 3-percent-plus
dividend yield, and you may want to
consider it for your portfolio. (Motley
Fool newsletters have recommended
shares of Procter & Gamble.)

Fast-Forward Fiasco
My dumbest investing move was
thinking that SonicBlue, the sec-
ond stock I ever bought, had better
technology in its ReplayTV DVR
than TiVos machines. Imagine it
permitted users to easily fast-forward
through commercials!
Alas, that was partly the com-
panys downfall, as commercials
are a critical component in the
broadcasting business, and broad-
casters didnt like that feature. The
company was sued by a group of
28 big media companies, and after
spending a lot of money on legal
wrangling, filed for bankruptcy
protection. Its ReplayTV assets
eventually ended up in the hands of
DirecTV. Unfortunately, having the
technology survive through bank-
ruptcies doesnt help the original
shareholders. G.H., online
The Fool Responds: Youre
right once a company declares
bankruptcy, original common
stockholders are usually out of luck.
(Theyre typically last in line, after
creditors, any preferred stock hold-
ers, etc.) Having the best technology
is good, but you also need enough
money to get it to market and to be
able to fight off competitors and
naysayers. Smart strategies and
competitive advantages help a lot.

Too Many Shares?
Q
General Electric hasnt split
its shares since 2000. Is that
because it has too many shares
outstanding already?
C.G., Augusta, Ga.
A
It doesnt typically work
that way. Splits often take
place when a stocks price is
deemed too high. Splits can be
largely a psychology-driven event,
making a stock look cheaper to
some investors. If stocks never
split, then a single share of some
big companies would cost as
much as a car or house.
General Electric does have a
lot of shares more than 10
billion. The number of shares
isnt a measure of a companys
size, though. Sirius XM Radio
has close to 4 billion shares, for
example, while Boeing has fewer
than a billion.
What matters much more than
stock splits or numbers of shares is
how strong a firm is, how quickly
its growing, how successfully its
competing and how each shares
value is increasing.
General Electric recently posted
operating earnings per share for
2011 up 22 percent over year-ago
levels. The companys backlog
of infrastructure-related orders, at
$200 billion, set a record.

Q
How do you rebalance a
portfolio? M.D.,
Newark, N.J.
A
Imagine that three years
ago you invested half
your nest egg in stocks and
half in bonds. If you want to
keep that balance, but your stocks
have grown to become 60 percent
of your portfolio, you might sell
some stock and add to your
bond holdings.
Rebalancing means adjusting
the percentage of your portfolio
represented by various holdings
(such as stocks, bonds, etc.) by
reallocating your money. Dont
overdo it, though. If your port-
folio changes from 50 percent
stocks to 51 percent, thats not
cause for alarm.

Choosing a Brokerage
If youre ready to invest in stocks,
a brokerage account will come in
handy. Opening one is not much
more complicated than opening a
bank account, but you should do
some research first, to choose the
brokerage that best serves your
needs. Consider the following as
you compare contenders:
s Costs. Find out how much each
will charge you in commissions per
trade. It can vary from $7 or less to
more than $100. See what other fees
are charged, too, such as IRA custo-
dian fees, wire transfer fees, account
inactivity fees, annual fees, etc.
s Minimum initial deposit. Some
brokerages require at least several
thousand dollars, while others have
no minimum.
s Usability and service. Check to
see how easy its online trading sys-
tem is to use. Ask some questions
of the customer service department
to see how responsive it is.
s Banking services. Some broker-
ages now offer check-writing, money
market accounts, credit cards, ATM
cards, direct deposit and more. Look

VIEWS S E C T I O N E
timesleader.com
A
nnoyed callers are a part of the
day in the news business.
People call to complain that we
didnt report what happened at a munic-
ipal meeting. A caller complained this
week that our photos in the newspaper
are too big. Another caller said weve
made the type size too small. (It hasnt
changed, by the way.) Sometimes they
call to complain about something in
another newspaper. Im not kidding,
they do.
They say: You have rotten coverage
of South America. Your coverage
favors liberals. Your coverage favors
conservatives. Why did you get rid of
Mitch Albom? (He took time off to
write a book, by the way.) Who is the
sour puss who got rid of Pickles?
You got me on the last one. I was the
sour puss. And we brought the comic
strip back.
If we make mistakes and we do
readers let us know. If they disagree
with a change weve made and they
do readers let us know.
I welcome the calls. When people
take the time to pick up the phone and
call, send an email or a letter through
the mail, they obviously care. We get a
lot of complimentary calls, too. Either
way, they care enough about their
paper to give us an earful about what
they think and occasionally where
we should go. Im glad to have readers
who care.
Sometimes its not so easy.
Earlier this week a comment was
made on timesleader.com on a story
about former Wilkes-Barre city adminis-
trator J.J. Murphy. The state attorney
general had determined no charges will
be filed regarding alarm systems bought
with city funds and installed in the
homes of city officials . Four private
complaints were dismissed.
It was front page news. Big headline.
Only in The Times Leader.
At about 2 in the morning a comment
was submitted online. It was off topic, it
had nothing to do with the story in the
paper and it was a personal attack on
Murphy. It wasnt true. The comment
was flagged and removed before 6 a.m.
because it became apparent it violated
policy. The policy is online when read-
ers register to comment. But a few
ignore it or try to sneak something by.
We enforce our policy and will continue
to do so.
Still, Murphy and I spoke by phone
and he agreed to meet later Thursday.
When he worked for the city, Murphy
and I occasionally disagreed about what
was news and what should be reported.
Sometimes we listened to each other
and found we had agreed to disagree.
Hes since left the city administration
and our paths have rarely crossed.
What struck me Thursday when
Murphy and I spoke on the phone and
then met in the early evening was he
was a lot more calm and composed than
a reader outraged that Calvin and
Hobbes wasnt in the paper anymore.
Murphy was most concerned that his
family was upset. He served the city.
Hes served his country as an officer in
the United States Air Force. He doesnt
want that denigrated.
He recognizes the need for spirited
debate as a part of our democracy. His
concern was is that the anonymity
of readers commenting online has pol-
luted the dialogue.
Two things make this not so easy.
Murphy was a prominent public official
and he was and is subject to scrutiny.
The other is that anonymous com-
mentary has a cherished and protected
place fundamental to the history of our
country.
For a guy who might be expected to
be very angry, Murphy was not. He was
reasonable and said he was focused on
moving forward and trying to make the
situation the community better.
Frankly, that impressed me.
It reminded me of how important it is
to stay connected to the people in the
community.

ALFRED RUBERY
was 20 years old when
he took up arms
against the United
States. A British sub-
ject traveling in Cali-
fornia, Rubery joined a
group of Southern
sympathizers planning raids along the
Pacific coastline to divert Union re-
sources during the Civil War.
Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles
ordered several ships, including the
USS Wyoming, named for a river valley
in Pennsylvania, to patrol on watch for
such attacks. The Confederate plot
eventually was uncovered and the con-
spirators transported to a Union mil-
itary fortification on The Island of
Pelicans Alcatraz.
Rubery was convicted and sentenced
to 10 years in prison. His relatives,
constituents of John Bright, a member
of British Parliament, were stunned by
the news of his offense and imprison-
ment.
In the mid-19th century John Bright
was one of Parliaments brightest stars.
A radical defender of liberty, Bright was
an outspoken supporter of emancipa-
tion and the Union cause throughout
the Civil War.
Many British officials were hoping
the Southern states would prevail.
Bright opposed them at every turn.
Bright is often credited with preventing
England from entering the conflict on
the side of the Confederacy.
Said one biographer, During the
most fateful years, when no one knew
from month to month whether England
would not lend her aid to the secession
of the South, the scales were turned in
favour of peace by the efforts of indi-
vidual men among whom John
Bright was the first and foremost.
President Abraham Lincoln admired
Bright for his staunch support from
across the sea. Sen. Charles Sumner of
Massachusetts wrote to inform Bright,
Your full-length photograph is on the
mantle in his (Lincolns) office, where
the only other portrait is of Andrew
Jackson.
President Lincoln was to receive a
bust of John Bright as a gift commis-
sioned in his honor. It arrived too late.
Our first president born outside the
original 13 Colonies, whose birthday we
commemorate today, died on April 15,
1865.
The contents of Lincolns pockets on
the night of the assassination were not
made known until 1976. That fateful
night the president of the United States
carried a linen handkerchief slightly
used with A. Lincoln embroidered in
red, two pairs of spectacles, a pocket-
knife, watch fob, a wallet containing a
five-dollar bill (Confederate) and a New
York Tribune clipping from October
1864 advocating his re-election
All who have deplored the calamities
which the leaders of secession have
brought upon your country, who believe
that slavery weakens your power and
tarnishes your good name throughout
the world, and who regard the restora-
tion of your Union as a thing to be
desired and prayed for by all good men,
are heartily longing for the re-election
of Mr. Lincoln. They are hoping with an
intense anxiety that Mr. Lincoln may be
placed at the head of your Executive for
another term. Looking on from this
distance we see in it an honest en-
deavor faithfully to do the work of his
great office and a brightness of personal
honor on which no adversary has yet
been able to fix a stain.
John Bright, MP
In December 1863, at the behest of
Bright and in recognition of the indis-
pensable role Bright played in keeping
England officially on the sidelines,
Lincoln issued: Now therefore, be it
known that I, Abraham Lincoln, Presi-
dent of the United States of America
and especially as a public mark of the
esteem held by the United States for
the high character and steady friend-
ship of John Bright, do hereby grant a
pardon to the said Alfred Rubery.
The bust of John Bright meant for
Lincoln, rediscovered by first lady
Jacqueline Kennedy, today occupies a
place of honor in the White House.
Happy birthday, Mr. President.

In Pennsylvania, regulations set to take effect May 1 (for food aid) mean that households can have
no more than $5,500 in eligible assets, including cash, checking and savings accounts, other
investments, and things like boats and planes. One car and a home are excluded, as are life
insurance and pension plans, family savings accounts and personal property About 4,023
Pennsylvania households are expected to lose their benefits when the limits take effect.

Editorial
We can combine greater freedom
with accountability.
Barack Obama
On Thursday, the president freed 10 states
(Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky,
Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oklahoma
and Tennessee) from the No Child Left Behind law, allowing them to
devise more creative ways to measure what students are learning.
PRESIDENT OBAMA has
been on a kick to promote
natural gas production.
Unfortunately, he seems to
think the key to doing this
is more government in-
volvement.
It was public research dollars, over the
course of 30 years, that helped develop the
technologies to extract all this natural gas
out of shale rock, he said in his State of the
Union address, reminding us that govern-
ment support is critical in helping businesses
get new energy ideas off the ground.
There are two big problems with this
statement.
First, it makes it sound as if the govern-
ment invented the technology, commercial-
ized it and handed it over to private compa-
nies. Second, it assumes that if the govern-
ment hadnt invested in natural gas tech-
nologies, we wouldnt be where we are today
in terms of natural gas production. Both are
far from the truth.
Well before the government invested in
natural gas technologies, it was the private
sector that established and developed hy-
draulic fracturing (or fracking), a process
by which producers inject a fluid, composed
of 99 percent water, and sand into wells to
free oil and gas trapped in rock formations.
Its roots go as far back as the 1860s. In the
1940s, Stanolind Oil and Gas Corp. began
studying and testing the method, with a
patent issued in 1949 and a license granted to
Halliburton to frack on two commercial
wells.
Government involvement came years later.
The U.S. Department of Energy partly fund-
ed data accumulation, microseismic map-
ping, the first horizontal well and tax credits
to extract unconventional gas. But who was
in the drivers seat? George Mitchell, who
invested millions of his own money in re-
search and development for fracking and
horizontal drilling.
The geologist for Mitchells company, Jim
Henry, first identified Barnett Shale in Texas
as a possibility for more energy. Mitchell
spent between $7 million and $8 million of
his money trying to extract shale gas success-
fully and eventually made it economically
viable. He is behind the shale gas revolution,
not the government.
According to the Houston Chronicle, Dan
Steward, a former geologist and vice presi-
dent with Mitchell Energy ... said industry
eventually would have figured out how to
make shale gas profitable. But George Mitch-
ell is responsible for making it happen right
now, when we need it, Steward said.
Saying that without government spending
we would not have todays natural gas pro-
duction is like saying without the grocery
store down the street from your house, you
would starve. You would find another way to
get food. The same goes for shale gas produc-
tion. Its economical because private compa-
nies have found a way to make it work. Gov-
ernment involvement merely supplants in-
dustry dollars with taxpayer dollars.
Its not a matter of congratulating govern-
ment on dollars well spent if they aid a com-
mercial success or blasting them for wasting
taxpayer dollars when a government-propped
industry files for bankruptcy. (Although it
does help show the governments poor track
record of picking winners and losers.) Its
that good economic ideas will find their way
to reach the market, while bad ones will fall
by the wayside.
Either way, the use of taxpayer dollars
does not make sense. If venture capitalists
and businesses are overlooking investment
opportunities in certain energy technologies,
they are overlooking them for a reason.
The United States enjoys robust domestic
energy resources (nuclear, natural gas, oil,
coal, hydroelectric, wind and solar). The
energy market can be diverse and compet-
itive without government interference. The
opportunity to profit off of the domestic and
global demand for electricity and transporta-
tion fuels is sufficient incentive for the mar-
ket to invest in these technologies.
No evidence exists to suggest that the
Department of Energy is better equipped to
make investment decisions or commercialize
technologies when the private sector chose
not to invest. And no evidence exists to
suggest it is behind efforts to successfully
commercialize an energy technology.
President Obama says government support
is critical in driving new energy technologies
forward. Its not. Its wasteful.
Energy industry does not live and die by govt support

COMMENTARY
N I C O L A S L O R I S
THE NATIONS food stamp program is an
essential part of the American safety net.
Why? Because people cant be productive
in school, at work or looking for work if
they are hungry and fearful about not hav-
ing enough food to feed their families.
The program serves 46 million people,
almost as many people as Medicare. And
thats despite the fact that more than one-
third of those eligible for the benefit are
not receiving it. If all those who qualified
for food stamps enrolled in the program, it
would include 20 percent to 25 percent of
Americans.
Not surprisingly, given the large num-
bers who participate, food stamp recipients
are a diverse bunch, including the elderly,
the disabled, one-parent families, two-
parent families, low-wage workers, stu-
dents, soldiers and the unemployed.
But if Republicans have their way, they
will turn food stamp recipients into the
new welfare queens.
The conservative Heritage Foundation
has reprised the false charges once leveled
at welfare, suggesting that food stamps
might make recipients dependent on
government. And Republican presidential
candidate Newt Gingrich has said that the
African-American community should de-
mand paychecks and not be satisfied with
food stamps. (This, despite the fact that
only 22 percent of food stamp recipients
are black.)
Republicans have proposed limiting
lifetime use of food stamps, rolling back
spending on the program and requiring
food stamp recipients to hold jobs. Former
Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum prom-
ised on the campaign trail to roll back the
food stamp program just like I did with
welfare in the 1990s. Facing these attacks,
the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (as food stamps are officially
known) stands at a crossroads. Will the
program go the way of welfare, or will it
follow a different path? If it is to survive,
its supporters would do well to study histo-
ry.
Food stamps were first conceived during
the Depression as part of a Keynesian ap-
proach to priming the economic pump.
And it was the grocery industry, not social
welfare advocates, that pushed for them.
The architects of the program emphasized
that it bolstered household consumption
and shored up the retail economy.
Food stamps aimed to replace the gov-
ernments in-kind food distribution, which
had forced the hungry to line up for gov-
ernment cheese and excess produce, some-
times off the back of trucks. Grocers pre-
ferred to have people standing in lines in
their stores than standing in lines to take
surplus food.
Todays food stamp users are issued
debit cards to swipe at the register just as
other consumers do. And retailers across
the spectrum, from swanky Whole Foods
to cost-conscious Sams Club, accept them,
because its good business. The program
allows grocery sellers to keep customers
who otherwise might not be able to afford
todays rising food prices.
Food stamp redemptions are good for
retailers. In 2009, they pumped $50 billion
into the economy. And, according to a
2008 USDA publication, the benefits ex-
tend beyond stores: Every $5 in new food
stamp benefits generates a total of $9.20 in
community spending, and each $1 billion
of retail food demand by food stamp recip-
ients generates 3,300 farm jobs.
History suggests that the pernicious
anti-welfare rhetoric that has recently been
attached to the program will prove power-
ful and could threaten to discredit it.
With the increasing protest against eco-
nomic inequality across the country, the 99
percent should defend food stamps as a
crucial pillar of the American promise, and
as something good for the economy. In
todays hard times, with growing poverty
and rising food prices, there is widespread
recognition that making ends meet is no
small feat, even for the middle class, and
that food stamps are essential.
Conservatives are trying to smear Ba-
rack Obama by dubbing him the food
stamp president. He should not run from
the label but embrace it, positioning him-
self as a defender of American retailers and
a protector of the security and integrity of
all U.S. households.
Promote food stamps as good business, not welfare

ther the notion. In fact, they
were supportive of a 2009 re-
port titled The Citizens

Since then, however, the is-

headway, and things in Harris-

things are worse. Meanwhile,
residents continue to shoulder
a tax burden while, in many
cases, watching state high-

employers bringing
factory work back here from
China and other foreign locales.
We support American manufac-
turing period.
But the nation is not going to
see the return of loads of jobs
that have been lost to outsourc-
ing. The UnitedStates will pros-
per by creatingjobs, as reflected
in the recent upbeat national
employment report. The econo-
my added 243,000 jobs in Janu-
ary across most sectors of the
economy, far more than experts
had predicted. To keep the mo-
mentum going, the United
States needs to encourage cut-
ting-edge sectors where this na-
tion holds a competitive advan-
tage.
Weknowthat is alessonfrom
Econ 101. But we think a re-
minder is necessary because
politicians of all stripes are join-
ingintheclamortobringback
American jobs.
RisingcostsinChinaandnew
tax incentives at home will help
to re-shore jobs at the margin.
But those factors will not
change the economic facts that
makeChinaahavenfor low- and
medium-skilled manufacturing:
cheap labor, a fixed currency
andgovernment financial incen-
tives. If China becomes toocost-
ly, Vietnam or Indonesia are
more likely to lure the low-tech
assembly line than Rockford or
Peoria.
For the United States to
thrive, policymakers must tar-
get real opportunity. Technolog-
ical advances have enabled fac-
tories to produce more goods
with fewer people. American
manufacturing is about brains,
not brawn.
Nowhere is this lesson more
obvious than in one of the most
sophisticated industries of all:
technology. It has become fash-
ionable to question the domes-
tic economic value of compa-
nies such as Apple Inc. that em-
ploymanymorepeopleoffshore

But Apple, Intel, Groupon
and the latest darling of tech in-
vestors, Facebook, employ tens
of thousands of Americans in

ATTHENa-
tional Prayer
Breakfast,
seeking the-
ological un-
derpinning for
his drive to
raise taxes on
the rich, President Obama
recently invokedthe highest
possible authority. His policy,
he testifiedas a Christian,
coincides withJesus teaching
that for unto whommuchis
given, muchshall be required.
Now, Imno theologian, but
Imfairly certainthat neither
Jesus nor his rabbinic forebears,
whenspeaking of giving, meant
some obligationto the state.
Youtithe the priest, not the tax
man. The Judeo-Christian
traditioncommands personal
generosity.
But no matter. Lets assume
that Obama has biblical author-
ity for hiking the marginal tax
rate exactly 4.6 points for cou-
ples making more than
$250,000. Lets stipulate that
Obamas prayer-breakfast in-
vocationof religionas vindicat-
ing his politics was not, God
forbid, crass, hypocritical, self-
serving electioneering, but a
sincere expressionof a social-
gospel Christianity that sees
goodworks as central to the
very concept of religiosity.
Fine. But this Gospel accord-
ing to Obama has a rival the
newly revealedGospel accord-
ing to Sebelius, over whichhas
eruptedquite a contretemps. By
some peculiar logic, it falls to
the healthandhumanservices
secretary to promulgate the
definitionof religious for the
purposes, for example, of ex-
empting religious institutions
fromcertainregulatory dic-
tates.
Suchexemptions are granted
ingrudging recognitionthat,
whereas the rest of civil society
might be brokento the will of
the states regulators, our
quaint Constitutiongrants
special autonomy to religious
institutions.
Accordingly, it wouldbe a
mockery of the Free Exercise
Clause of the First Amendment
if, for example, the Catholic
Churchwere requiredby lawto
freely provide suchhealthcare
services (insecularist par-
lance) as contraception, steril-
izationandpharmacological
abortion to whichCatholi-
cismis doctrinally opposed.
Ah. But there wouldbe no
suchFree Exercise violationif
the institutions so mandated
are deemed, by regulatory fiat,
not religious.
Andthus, the wordcame
forthfromSebelius decreeing
the exact criteria required(a) to
meet her definitionof reli-
gious andthus (b) to qualify
for a modicumof independence
fromnewly enactedstate con-
trol of Americanhealthcare,
under whichthe aforemen-
tionedSebelius andher phalanx
of experts determine every-
thing fromwho is to be cov-
ered, to whichtreatments are to
be guaranteedfree-of-charge.
Criterion1: Areligious in-
stitution must have the in-
culcationof religious values as
its purpose. But thats not the
purpose of Catholic charities;
its to give succor to the poor.
Thats not the purpose of Ca-
tholic hospitals; its to give
succor to the sick. Therefore,
they dont qualify as religious
andtherefore canbe required,
among other things, to provide
free morning-after abortifa-
cients.
Criterion2: Any exempt
institutionmust be one that
primarily employs andpri-
marily serves persons who
share its religious tenets. Ca-
tholic soup kitchens do not
demandreligious IDs from
either the hungry they feedor
the custodians they employ.
Catholic charities andhospitals
evenCatholic schools do not
turnaway Hinduor Jew.
Their vocationis universal,
precisely the kindof universal
love-thy-neighbor vocationthat
is the very definitionof religios-
ity as celebratedby the Gospel
of Obama. Yet according to the
Gospel of Sebelius, these very
same Catholic institutions are
not religious at all under the
secularist assumptionthat
religionis what happens on
Sunday under some Gothic
spire, while goodworks are
social services that are proper-
ly renderedup unto Caesar.
This all wouldbe merely the
story of contradictory theol-
ogies, except for this: Sebelius
is Obamas appointee. She
works for him. These regu-
lations were his call. Obama
authoredbothgospels.
Therefore: To flatter his faith-
breakfast guests andjustify his
tax policies, Obama declares
goodworks to be the essence of
religiosity. Yet he turns around
and, throughSebelius, tells the
faithful who engage ingood
works that what theyre doing is
not religionat all. Youwant to
do religion? Get thee to a nun-
nery. Youwant shelter fromthe
power of the state? Get out of
your soup kitchenandback to
your pews. Outside, Leviathan
rules.
The contradictionis glaring,
the hypocrisy breathtaking. But
thats not why Obama offereda
hasty compromise onFriday.
Its because the firestormof
protest was becoming a threat
to his re-election. Sure, health
care, goodworks andreligion
are important. But re-electionis
divine.
When is U.S. religion
simply not religious?

ANOTHER VIEW
A photograph by Don Carey and
words by Mark E. Jones
I CAME. I saw.
I shaved.
This was
after five
weeks of try-
ing to grow a
beard. You
couldnt really
call it that, a beard. More like a
collection of facial hair, some
here, some there and none
everywhere else.
If my beard were clothing,
itd be jeans with holes cut out.
If my beard were a landmass,
itd be the Galapagos Islands.
My beard had more patches
than an Eagle Scout. More
vacancies than the Bates Mo-
tel. Hairy clouds against flesh-
colored ... Well, you get the
picture.
This, by the way, is why I
never try a beard when I have
to see or be seen by other
people. You hate to enter a
room and have everyone break
out laughing.
But I recently had a five-
week absence to finish a book,
and I was holed up in a room
most of the day, and the only
people seeing me were mem-
bers of my family and, lets face
it, you could come downstairs
in a clown suit and your family
would say, Whats for break-
fast?
So, alone in my cave, I gave
it a shot.
Again.
I have a history of doing this
every few years. It goes back to
the first time I envisioned my-
self with facial hair.
In the seventh grade.
I thought it would be cool. I
thought chicks would dig me.
Of course, back then, I also was
hoping my voice would change.
But all boys secretly imagine
themselves with a drooping Fu
Manchu or fat sideburns. And
so, unable to actually sprout
hair on my own, I took a magic
marker and drew a mustache
over my lip. Then I smeared it
to make it more natural,
which left me looking like a girl
who applied black lipstick in
the dark.
The next day, after a firm
scolding from my mother, and
perhaps some turpentine, I was
once again clean-shaven.
But my dream would not die.
Now, there are two types of
teenage boys: Those who grow
5-oclock shadows by gym
class, and those who grow
nothing but the occasional
pimple. I was the latter. I wait-
ed for facial hair. Nothing
came. I examined my ears, my
chin, beneath my nose. Hair-
less.
Soon the dream turned to
envy. When Al Pacino sported
that mustache and beard in
Serpico, I wanted one. When
those guys in Miami Vice had
that sexy stubble, I wanted it.
Burt Reynolds. Elvis. Walt
Frazier. They always were so
cool with their sideburns, Van
Dykes, moustaches. Even to-
day, from Brad Pitt to that guy
from The Hangover Bra-
dley Cooper I still look on
jealously from the sidelines,
wistful for whiskers, my hirsute
merely hearsay.
If at first you dont succeed
So last month, I braved the
waters once again. I stopped
shaving. No one noticed for
five days. Then the occasional
comments from family mem-
bers, which advanced from
Forgot your razor? to Going
grubby? to, eventually, Hey,
whats that on your face?
The hair grew in these plac-
es: chin, cheeks, upper lip. The
hair never grew in these places:
sideburns, jawline and the area
that connects a mustache with
a goatee. I would press against
the mirror, looking for the
smallest green shoots. Noth-
ing.
What I did see, once the chin
hair thickened out, was this
shocking development: It was
coming in gray!
How is that fair? I never got
a young mans beard, and now I
was Santa Claus?
I had been leapfrogged, left
in a squat, like a man who fell
asleep in spring and woke up in
fall, his summer stolen. Even if
I were successful in my beard-
ed efforts, I was now fated to
be ... Sean Connery.
Who I realized was bald.
So recently, with the book
completed, I got out the elec-
tric razor, the hand razor and
some shaving cream. I am
happy to report that there was
some tug; it actually hurt a bit
to cut it off. (Sweet resistance!
Proof of existence!)
The bad news is, losing it
took all of three minutes. And I
was back to where I started.
And where I will remain. You
have to count your blessings,
and the Lord has left me with
hair on my head if not on my
face. Who knows? Maybe Sean
Connery would see me and say,
I want some of that.
So I am clean again. Re-
signed to smooth cheeks and
barren jaws. I came. I saw. I
shaved.
Or as they might write on a
bathroom wall, Here I sit,
brokenhearted, minus the
beard, that never got started.

readers on the Lackawanna
Presbyterys helmet liner
project featured in the article
Comfort on their minds
(Aug. 7, 2011).
After many hours of clicking
needles, we met our goal of
completing 500 handmade,
knitted, wool helmet liners to
be given to the members of
the 1st Battalion, 109th In-
fantry of the Pennsylvania
National Guard for their up-
coming deployment.
The helmet liners will not
only keep our soldiers heads
warm and dry, but also give
them the knowledge that their
neighbors took the time and
care to hand-knit those liners,
sending an unmistakable
message of love to our troops.
On behalf of the Presbytery,
Chaplain Ryan Kraus and the
1st Battalion, please accept
our heartfelt thanks to all
those people who knitted
liners and supported the pro-
ject with monetary contribu-
tions. And thanks goes to
Ellen Muzi of Electric City
Yarns, without whose help
this project never would have
gotten off the ground.
Once again, the love and
support of the residents of
Northeastern Pennsylvania
have been overwhelming.

Thanks for writing
exceptional column
T
he Times Leader publish-
ed a commentary by Bill
OBoyle on coach Joe
Paternos treatment and mat-
ters that led to his untimely
firing from the Pennsylvania
State University and eventu-
ally to his death (Paterno:
Penn State to the end, Jan.
23).
It was an intelligent, concise
and honest assessment of
what occurred to Paterno over
the Jerry Sandusky affair.
Bill pulled out all stops. He
opined as he saw the whole
sordid affair. It was brilliant. It
can be used as a basis for all
the volumes that might be
written about the late Joe
Paterno.
Bill OBoyle refers to the
medias continued assessment
and reporting. One wonders
whether the medias reporting
was a contributor to an unde-
sired and undeserved result
such as: the trustees rushing
to a bad judgment, the stu-
dents rioting near the Penn
State campus, some of the
public finding Paterno guilty
before the investigations were
initiated. Bill OBoyle in a few
words touched on the subject.
It was done with discretion
and class, but with meaning.
It took courage for him to
take on his brethren.
Bills commentary brought
readers attention to Joe Pa-
ternos unselfish love for his
family, football, people, the
students, friends and, above
all, Penn State University.
Thank you, Bill.

City coat drive
has warm ending
O
n behalf of the Wilkes-
Barre Junior City Council,
I thank The Times Leader
for publishing information
about the coat drive that we
held throughout the month of
December. We believe that it
really helped get the word out
that there are people who care
and strive to make a differ-
ence.
Overall, it was a very suc-
cessful project that left an
impact on those who were
helped. Not only did we col-
lect a huge number of coats
and other winter apparel, but
also we donated them to Vol-
unteers of America, a service
organization that helps mil-
lions of people.
Again, thank you for your
support.

Kaufer praised as
120th candidate
A

representative for the
120th District, which consists
of Courtdale, Exeter, Exeter
Township, Forty Fort, Jackson
Township, Kingston, Kingson
Township, Luzerne, Pringle,
Swoyersville, West Pittston,
West Wyoming and Wyoming.
Aaron is a lifelong resident
of Kingston. He graduated
from Wyoming Valley West
High School as salutatorian of
his class. Continuing his edu-
cation at Lafayette College, he
double majored in Govern-
ment and Law and Interna-
tional Affairs, and he was
inducted into the honor socie-
ty of each major.
As an active member of our
community, Aaron accom-
plished many achievements by
the age of 23, including ser-
vice to the Catholic Youth
Center and Jewish Communi-
ty Center as well as volun-
teering to help elect impas-
sioned leaders such as state
Sen. Lisa Baker and state Rep.
Karen Boback. Aarons com-
munity and political work led
to him being honored five
years ago by The Times Lead-
er as the regions Best &
Brightest area high school
graduate in the civics cate-
gory.
Today, Aaron is answering
the call to bring better repre-
sentation to the area with
enthusiastic plans and new
ideas, which we desperately
need.
There are few people whom
I respect as greatly as Aaron
Kaufer! You will not find a
young man as intelligent,
passionate and dedicated as
Aaron.
And if you have any doubt,
come and meet him. I ask you
to keep on the lookout for this
young man. Hell be coming to
your area soon.

Online merchants
should collect tax
I
have had enough with my
online-only competition
getting a break from the
state and federal governments
when it comes to collecting
and remitting sales tax.
Currently, the Amazons of
the world dont have to collect
and remit state sales tax. But,
as the owner of Ross Jewelers,
I do!
I have no issue with collect-
ing and remitting as long as
my online-only competition
has to do the same.
U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey and
Congressmen Lou Barletta
and Tom Marino can stop this
unfair advantage by support-
ing the Marketplace Fairness
Act. In fact, Sen. Toomey
with his belief that govern-
ment should stay out of the
way of small business should
go so far as to co-sponsor the
act.
This bill would allow states
to decide if companies such as
Amazon should collect and
remit sales tax. Main Street
businesses such as mine arent
looking for a bailout from our
federal government. We are
looking for a level playing
field.

Super ideas for
MLK celebration
D
uring the two-week buil-
dup to the Super Bowl, it
was suggested that it is
inevitable that someday Su-
per Sunday will become a
national holiday. I sure hope
not.
NFL football is certainly
popular, but it shouldnt be of
the same level of importance
as our current holidays.
But, here is what should
happen. Martin Luther King
Jr. Day should be moved from
January to February. In Janu-
ary, were still recovering from
the long holiday season that
started with Thanksgiving.
February is Black History
Month. Make the first or sec-
ond Monday of February MLK
Day.
The television networks can
mix in some tribute along
with the day-long buildup to
the football game. And, Mon-
day after the game is a holi-
day; everyone has the day off.
It gives a day to recover if the
food or drink was just too
good to pass up thirds. It
would allow a travel day for
those people who might want
to see the game with family or
friends who live far away.
It would give a big boost to
MLK Day and fit right into the
way Americans like to spend
their long weekends.

IN THE current econ-
omy, colleges and
universities are under
increasing pressure
from government and
their core audiences
parents and students
to provide added
value to their curriculum and academic
degrees by putting into practice the
theories they teach in the classroom.
Today, experienced and skilled workers
are competing in the job market for the
same opportunities once reserved for
green college graduates.
This prevailing paradigm has made
higher education retool its products
soon-to-be college graduates in an
effort to create a competitive advan-
tage for them. To accomplish this,
colleges and universities are looking at
internships as an additional teaching
tool and incorporating them into their
business curricula. Internships provide
that sought-after value for students
because they provide experience in a
companys structure, culture and with
the rigors of deadlines.
To create a competitive advantage
for their students, institutions of high-
er education must go a step further
and build partnerships with businesses.
The two must meet in the middle
and create opportunities for each other
by creating a business incubator. A
university business incubator is a fo-
rum in which students step into the
real world of business to learn the
proper culture and training, as well as
to practice their own skills and display
their talents to business leaders. Busi-
nesses in this incubator can invest by
providing practical training, while at
the same time suggesting innovative
methods that might be too costly in
their arena.
With an incubator in place, students
can learn and practice the art and sci-
ence of business, while businesses can
help to shape their workforces.
For Misericordia University and its
students, the incubator is the Center
for Economic and Entrepreneurship
Education.
A workforce incubator provides a
place where businesses can go to train,
recruit and even explore untapped
markets without the expensive trial
and error associated with bad hires and
learning curves. It is a place where
businesses can observe, encourage and
instruct their future employees while,
at the same time, adding real value to
the college or university.
In return, higher education is provid-
ing its students with a competitive
advantage in the marketplace by allow-
ing them the opportunity to work on
marketing plans, be a member of a
sales force and learn firsthand about
the corporate world. Eventually, this
synergistic partnership blossoms, and
colleges and universities can become
testing grounds for marketing ideas or
they can compete for marketing and
sales opportunities, which could create
a revenue stream for the institution.
The added revenue could fund further
training and the incubator perpetuates
itself.
The Misericordia University Center
for Economic and Entrepreneurship
Education is still in its infancy, but we
have embarked on this journey by
creating partnerships with regional
businesses such as PNC Bank, Parent-
eBeard, Amory Medical Associates,
Bucci Vision, Coates Toner, Calex.
Incubators create training opportuni-
ties for students by allowing busi-
nesses to influence curriculum by
filling gaps in work experience, thereby
ensuring graduates are competitive in
our challenging job market. This next
step in creating training programs
eventually will morph into a full-
fledged pipeline for businesses to
recruit new hires after observing them
in action.
Businesses such as ParenteBeard, for
example, have created a training pro-
gram with us to teach Excel program-
ming. The partnership provides stu-
dents the preparation, insight and
access to the rigors and demands of the
business with minimal cost to the
university and company. At the same
time, it provides ParenteBeard a pool
of potential employees who already
know how to function in its corporate
structure.
Smaller, established companies such
as Amory Medical Associates enhance
the graduate business program by
providing hands-on experience and
mentoring in sales and marketing,
which have earned Misericordia gradu-
ates high-profile jobs with Hewlett-
Packard and IBM.
It takes time to develop true part-
nerships. At Misericordia, those estab-
lished relationships provide business
majors with the added value they seek
and need in todays economy and job
market.
Partnerships with businesses can give graduates a competitive edge

Hunting for truth
about Pa. hunters
I
must respond to the letter
to the editor by Fred Murray
(Jan. 8) concerning my
issues with hunters.
In all the years I have been
exposing the truth about hunt-
ing, I have never put down the
general sportsmen and women
of the state. My focus has
been solely on hunters/trap-
pers as it is that segment
that initially sought to violate
my rights and continues to do
so via their bully tactics.
Murray utilizes a longstand-
ing tactic by including fisher-
men in his response, despite
the fact that anglers are not a
concern, and I have never
addressed them.
Also, the Pennsylvania
Game Commission has far
more responsibilities than
catering to the shrinking mi-
nority of hunters/trappers.
The primary legal mandate of
the Game Commission is to
manage and protect all the
wildlife in Pennsylvania for all
the residents.
The decades-long decline in
hunters/trappers numbers has
had virtually no effect on
fishing or anything else Mur-
ray cites, beyond hunting
clubs.
Sporting goods stores will
continue to exist, as they
already thrive on the growing
majority of nonlethal, outdoor-
based activities. In any given
sporting goods store the hunt-
ing/trapping section makes
up a small percentage of cur-
rent trade.
Deer populations will not
explode, as without hunters to
demand the herd be kept
inflated the Game Commis-
sion will cease its propagation
programs that are the primary
source of deer-vehicle colli-
sion, crop damage and other
game management-related
liabilities which cost us hun-
dreds of millions annually.
Nor will fox and coyote
populations increase without
trapping. Mother Nature man-
aged their populations, as well
as that of all other game spe-
cies, long before humans be-
gan interfering, especially in
the name of sport.
Murray should have saved
his ink, as there is no defense
for the continuation of sport
trophy hunting when all fac-
tors are considered.

CEO pay should
be questioned
R
egarding the commentary
More jobs without more
pay wont help workers
(Jan. 29) by Jonathan Tasini.
The primary message from
Mr. Tasini is that while it is
possible that Republican presi-
dential condender Mitt Rom-
neys former business activ-
ities created more jobs than
they lost, the new jobs provide
less total compensation. And
neither Republicans nor Dem-
ocrats are anxious to discuss
that.
I agree, but ... .
We live in a global economy
in which the compensation
paid to American workers is
competitively compared to
workers in many other coun-
tries. Whatever an American
job pays, it is better to work
than to continue extending
unemployment benefits until
there must be a taxpayer bai-
lout for that.
And why are wage and/or
hour cuts not utilized more?
It would be far better to
keep more people working
than add to the unemployed
count. Yes, that would mean
wage cuts for executives, also.
Hmm ... .
Another tool Americans
could use to encourage fair-
ness is to invest only in com-
panies paying their executives
reasonable compensation.
(See www.nytimes.com/2011/
04/10/busi-
ness/10comp.html?pagewant-
ed=all)
An excerpt: In the fourth
quarter, profits at American
businesses were up an as-
tounding 29.2 percent, the
fastest growth in more than 60
years. Collectively, American
corporations logged profits at
an annual rate of $1.678 tril-
lion.
So far, this recovery has not
trickled down. After two rela-
tively lean years, CEOs in
finance, technology, energy
and beyond are pulling down
multimillion-dollar paychecks.
What many of these exec-
utives arent doing, however,
is hiring. Unemployment,
although down from its peak,
recently stood at 8.8 percent.
And few economists predict
the jobless rate will drop sub-
stantially anytime soon.
If we dont like this, and I
dont, we can force change by
instructing our financial coun-
selors to invest our funds only
in companies having CEOs
with total annual compensa-
tion less than $5 million, or an
appropriate number. Be firm;
advise counselors if they dont
comply, we will find a counsel-
or who will.
If we limit our earnings
options, we can force large
corporations to change
when our choices force their
stock prices to drop.
Sounds impossible, or at
least unlikely.
Who has better ideas?

Dallas football
loses supporter
W
ith a sad heart, I take my
Dallas Mountaineers
football magnet off the
back of my car.
For the past seven years,
since I met my husband who
coached with Ted Jackson, I
had attended every game.
Cheering Dallas on through
the cold, snowy games.
Through the summer games
when it felt like 110 degrees in
the stands. Taking our two
children since they were in-
fants in their strollers, all
bundled up with their Dallas
Mounts hats and sweatshirts.
All of us cheering loudly and
proudly when Dallas scored.
Its funny: We teach our kids
when they play sports that the
number one rule is Dont
cheat.
Well, our school board (ex-
cept for two members) cheat-
ed us. They seemingly put
their own interests ahead of
the people who they were put
there to represent (the tax-
payers).
They had a whole room full
of members of the community,
plus the kids on the football
team, pleading with them to
do the right thing and keep
their coach; they turned their
backs on them and put their
own agenda first.
So, I sadly take off my mag-
net and throw it in the trash.
Its sad to say, but all of the
Dallas pride I once had is
gone.

Council quickly
making progress
I
write in response to a Feb.
3 letter to the editor from
Kathy Dobash regarding the
procedure that was followed
by the Luzerne County Coun-
cil during January to make
appointments to the countys
authorities, boards and com-
missions.
The letter alluded to hasty
appointments of unqualified
residents and the authors own
experience as an applicant for
the Accountability, Conduct
and Ethics Commission.
There are a few salient
details that were left out, and I
write to correct the record.
Regarding haste: The
council took office on Jan. 2
and by law had only 30 days to
make appointments to the
Board of Elections and Regis-
tration, the Board of Tax As-
sessment Appeals, and the
Accountability, Conduct and
Ethics Commission. Although
we had received applications
prior to Jan. 2, we did not
have any authority to act until
we were sworn in. However,
despite the rapidly approach-
ing deadline, we appealed on
Jan. 2 and 3 for anyone else
who was interested in apply-
ing to do so as soon as pos-
sible. We accepted applica-
tions for these three bodies up
to and including Jan. 17. The
Jan. 31 deadline for appoint-
ment was clearly stated, so
applicants were aware that the
selection process would not be
delayed.
The Jan. 18 date for Elec-
tions and Tax Appeals in-
terviews and the Jan. 23 date
for interviews for the Ethics
Commission were announced
at the Jan. 10 council meeting
when we approved the proce-
dure of interviewing appli-
cants. Those people who were
present at the Jan. 18 inter-
views will recall that we used
speakerphones for the few
applicants for the Elections
and Tax boards with conflicts
that presented them from
being present physically.
When Ms. Dobash notified
us that she could not be pre-
sent at her scheduled inter-
view, she also was offered the
opportunity for speakerphone
participation during any one
of the three interview sessions
on Jan. 23. However, she de-
clined and informed us that
she was actually ineligible to
serve on the Ethics Commis-
sion at this time because of
charter restrictions.
The Luzerne County Coun-
cil has managed, in four fast-
paced weeks, to meet our
deadlines and appoint well-
qualified members to the
Board of Elections and Regis-
tration, the Board of Tax As-
sessment Appeals, and the
Accountability, Conduct and
Ethics Commission, and to
deal with a host of other is-
sues.
We express our thanks to all
who applied and especially to
the large number of well-
qualified and eligible residents
who participated in the open
interview process for each of
these bodies.
The home rule form of
government that is now in
effect in our county encourag-
es greater citizen participation
in all areas of government.
Although these three boards
are complete, there are other
authorities, boards and com-
missions that will have term
openings on an ongoing basis.
We continue to receive appli-
cations on a near-daily basis
and will contact those people
who are interested as the
openings occur.
The application for appoint-
ment to county authorities,
boards and commissions can
be found on the county web-
site: www.luzernecounty.org.
We are extremely grateful to
all applicants for their willing-
ness to volunteer their time
and talent to serve on one of
these bodies, and we encour-
age greater involvement by all
residents as we work together
in the coming months and
years to build a new county
government.

So I smiled Friday morning
when I received a letter from a
Sweet Valley woman who was
hopping mad that two puzzles
are no longer in the Sunday
features section. She called the
replacement stupid. If she
thought I too was stupid, she
kindly didnt say so when I
called her to explain. The deci-
sion to remove those puzzles
wasnt mine; the syndicate that
provides them discontinued the
puzzles. They arent there to
bring back.
She didnt want an explana-
tion, however reasonable I
thought it was. She wanted her
puzzles. She wasnt too satis-
fied. We shared some small talk
and parted ways.
And all day long Ive been
thinking of reasonable people.

As the need for assistance grew,

There was an understanding
families need assets to have a fi-
nancial cushion as they work their
way out of poverty, said Finzel, a
welfare policy analyst.
States such as Texas, Utah and
California are holding on to asset
tests. LikeMichigan, Texassaysap-

they have more than $5,000 in the
bank and a second vehicle worth
more than$15,000.

Whenever Pamela Chabora
moves into a new hotel, she
makes the place cozy by un-
packing her favorite photo-
graphs, her computer and a
blanket from home.
Theres a certain place for
everything in my baggage and
where I put things in my room,
she said. Its a regular way of
doing things, a tradition.
Chabora, 55, has been travel-
ing since September for her
role as Yente
the match-
maker in
Fiddler on
the Roof,
which
comes to the
F.M. Kirby
Center in
Wilkes-
Barre on
Wednesday
and Thurs-
day.
Like her character, shell tell
you traditions can be comfort-
ing.
But, like some other charac-
ters in the cast, in particular a
trio of sisters, shell tell you tra-
ditions sometimes have to
change.
Tzeitel, Hodel and Chava,
daughters of Tevye the dairy-
man and his wife, Golde, are all
thinking of marriage but
they wont meekly accept
whichever prospective hus-
band Yente might find for them.
Not that Yente wouldnt be
doing her best.
In my research I read about
the matchmakers job and how
theres a sort of tier system,
Chabora said. You were put in
a tier with your particular class.
If a girl didnt have a dowry (in
the play, Tevyes daughters do
not) that was a shame-filled po-
sition to be in. You had nothing
to bring to the wedding no
money, no cows, no land. As a
result the groom, the male, is
going to have to bring whatever
is needed.
Yente wants the daughters of
her friends to be provided for.
So maybe shell arrange a wed-
ding with a man who has a bit of
wealth or a steady trade. But
maybe he wont be the most
handsome man in the village,
or the youngest or strongest or
most charming.
One by one, Tevyes daugh-

PASADENA, Calif. Monday
night has becometelevisions most
popular andraunchynight of
comedy.
In recent weeks, there was a
strip-clubvisit onHowI Met Your
Mother, lap dance included. The
stars of 2 Broke Girls mistakenly
believedanupstairs neighbor rana
brothel. Two and a Half Men in-
cluded jokes about masturbation,
oral sex, sex with moms, trading
cigarettes for sex and two scenes
withloudnoisesofpassionfrombe-
hindcloseddoors.
A quick count on a recent Mon-
day found 53 sex jokes on the net-
works four comedies, which in-
cludesMike&Molly.Therewere
also nine jokes about flatulence or
bowel movements and two scenes
where marijuana use was clearly
implied one with a teenage boy
andtheotherwithanolderwoman.
The subject matter leaves some
viewers queasy, such as Amanda
St. Amand, mother of two college
students from St. Louis. She said
the shows go past raunchy fun to
just plainraunchy.
CBS and producers of the come-
diesstronglydefendtheirworkand
point to the shows success as evi-
dence theyre doing something
right. TwoandaHalf MenisTVs
favorite comedy, HowI Met Your
Mother has its best ratings ever in
itsseventhyear, and2BrokeGirls
isabreakoutfreshmanhit. Thefour
shows are among the seven most
popular comedies on prime-time
television this season, the Nielsen
ratings companysaid.
CBS Entertainment President
Nina Tassler saidthe comedies are
alittlerisque,but that thecharac-
ters are living truthfully within
their particular circumstances.
The fact that there is such
strong ratings growth for all of
them means that those shows are
resonating,Tasslersaid. Itmeans
that the characters are resonating.
It means that their dialogue is real-
ly landing with audiences. The
shows arelaugh-out-loudfunny.
Mike & Molly seemingly has
the least amount of sexual content
of the four shows, though one re-
cent episode did include jokes
about a flasher, breasts, prostitu-
tionanderections.
2 Broke Girls opened a recent
episode with the two leads trading
four raunchyjokes withtheleering
cookinthediner wheretheywork.
Show creator Michael Patrick
King reacted strongly when he was
questionedatameetingoftheTelevi-
sion Critics Association about jokes
inhisshowregardinganal sex.
Its 8:30 on Monday on CBS in
2012, said King, former producer
ofSexandtheCityforHBO.Itsa
very different world than 8:30 on
MondayonCBSin1994. ... Iconsid-
er our jokes really classy dirty. I
thinktheyre highlowbrow. I think
theyre fun and sophisticated and
naughty, and I think everybody
likes a goodnaughtyjoke.
Inanotherrecentepisode, which
had four jokes about prostitution
and four about herpes, Caroline
and Max go to see the madamof a
brothel and knock on the wrong
door to be greeted by a man wear-
inga dogcollar andleash.
King cited his experience on
Sex and the City to say he recog-
nizes that people pull away from
somethingif its not ingoodtaste.
People lean into something if
its OK, andweekafter week, more
people are leaning into 2 Broke
Girls, he said. So theres some-
thingtheretheyfeel OKabout.

W
ith such No. 1 singles as Fast Cars and
Freedom, My Wish and Take Me
There, fewacts havesofullyembodiedthe
sound of 21st-century country music quite like Ras-
cal Flatts. Polished, powerful and undeniably pop,
the CMA and ACM-award-winning trio has taken
country to new heights of crossover success.
Their 2006 hit What Hurts the Most topped both
the country and adult-contemporary singles charts.
Their latest hit, Easy, was a duet withpopsinger Na-
tasha Bedingfield. And with Dancing on the Ceiling,
they boast one of the standout tracks onthe upcoming
Lionel Richie country-duets record, Tuskegee.
Yes, pop has been good to the Flatts guys lead
singer Gary LeVox, bassist-vocalist Jay DeMarcus
and guitarist-vocalist Joe Don Rooney who will
bring their winter ThawOut tour to the Mohegan
Sun Arena at Casey Plaza on Friday night. But make
no mistake, the band is steeped in a shared love of
country music, and those roots are evident in their
new single, the plucky Banjo.
Its got a rock backbone, but it lets the banjo
shine. Its a real Flatts moment, Rooney says, check-
ing in before a showin Providence, R.I. That lyric
is one of the more country lyrics we ever sang. Its
going over really well live, and its a good way to
kick off this record.
That record, their seventh, is Changed, due
April 3 on Big Machine Records. The title couldnt
be more appropriate. During the past two years,
Rascal Flatts have endured their share of change,
beginning in 2010 when their longtime label, Lyric
Street Records, shuttered. Suddenly without a mu-
sical home, they bided their time and eventually
signed with Big Machine, the home of Pennsylva-
nia native Taylor Swift, and released their first al-
bum for the label, Nothing Like This.
Oh, and they switched managers, too.
It may not sound like a big thing to people out
there, but (changing labels and managers) is the
biggest thing, Rooney says. When youre some-
where like (Lyric Street) for 10 years, it becomes
like a family. But weve really enjoyed our transi-
tion and Big Machine has just been amazing.
As has the fan response to this tour. Rooney ad-
vises audiences to get to their seats early, not only

HOROSCOPE
HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
The pendulum swings
between the mundane and
madness. You appreciate
each tone more because
the other one exists. The
varied pace keeps you on
your toes.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
You are firing on all cyl-
inders today, and you are
primed to make excellent
choices. You will act as
though you thought things
through and think as
though you were in action.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Most people are likely
to choose the road they
know, perceiving it to be
the safest route. Just
because its right in front
of you doesnt make it
the best choice. Go out of
your way to find the best
option.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Get the inside story.
Seek knowledge over
information. Better to
learn how than to be given
answers that will only
work for you in a particu-
lar circumstance.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Youre
in just the fighting mood
to break records and push
through barriers. In order
to break through to the
realm of the extraordinary,
you have to require your-
self to do things that cant
be done.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
A developmental process
is beginning. In much the
same way that children
show early signs of the
adults they will turn into,
you are showing signs of
the person you will be in
but three short months.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Because you value humor,
youll love the odd sce-
narios that drop into
your world. The day will
be a series of interesting
and entertaining events,
strange little tests and
funny problems to solve.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
When a loved one isnt giv-
ing you the kind of atten-
tion you want, it may lead
you to wonder whether
you are giving your loved
one the kind of attention
he or she would prefer.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Being the sign
of expansion, you some-
times equate moderation
with boredom. But now
youll see how a little
restraint can bring you
great contentment.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Youll be alert to the
feelings and moods of
those around you. Do not,
however, change your
whole schedule to accom-
modate others. Doing so
will only start a trend that
you will not enjoy later
down the line.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
There is no sense in
worrying about what
you cannot control. Also,
the things that might
happen are not worthy
of your energetic invest-
ment. Concentrate on
whats actually going on
right now.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Youll be like a human
buffer as you attempt to
protect people from news
that might bring down the
mood or from details that
may cause unnecessary
worry. Youll be quite suc-
cessful in this, too.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Feb.
12). Your hearts desire
burns bright this year,
giving you fuel to reach
your goals. In March,
youll receive the happy
repercussions of a move
you made last year. May is
your chance to see what
youve always wondered
about. You sincerely want
to help people, and youll
be proud of how youre
able to do this in June.
Virgo and Aries people
adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 6, 1, 24, 39
and 18.

DEAR ABBY
Chatty boss prevents
work from being done
Dear Abby:
My boss,
Ms. M.,
knows her
stuff. Shes
supportive,
flexible and
communicates well about
whats happening within the
organization. However, she
spends most of her time in
my cubicle. Shell start out
in her office and, 15 minutes
later, slide into my cubicle to
show me her kids latest pho-
tos or insist my colleagues
and I watch YouTube videos
of her favorite entertainers.
This happens continually
throughout the day. I have
to work from home in the
evenings to get anything
done. I have actually used
vacation time so I could fin-
ish a project without Ms.
M.s constant interruptions.
I thought it was just me
until I got sick last year and
was out for several days. I
got hate email from my
colleagues because the boss
was spending all her time in
THEIR cubicles!
Meanwhile, contracts
dont get finalized, deadlines
are missed, phone calls go
unanswered and complaints
pile up. When she gets heat
from higher-ups, shell work
on the weekend to make
things right. Then on Mon-
day morning shell call a
staff meeting that lasts over
an hour, and we must listen
to her sour complaints and
more YouTube videos from
the weekend. Its maddening.
Ms. M. is like a female Ne-
ro fiddling while the depart-
ment burns. I want to do my
job during working hours.
Any suggestions?
Treading Water in Ohio
Dear Treading Water: I do
have one. Because there is
safety in numbers, everyone
in the department who is
affected by this problem
should discuss it as a group
with Ms. Ms supervisor or
boss. It appears Ms. M. is
confusing her working rela-
tionships with those that are
personal.
Dear Abby: Five years ago,
while substitute teaching, I
met a man who was also a
substitute teacher. We would
often have lunch together in
the school cafeteria. Lou
told me he had been living
with a woman, Meg, for 12
years, but that she had be-
gun developing Alzheimers
disease. Her sons planned
on moving them into an as-
sisted living facility.
Several months ago, Lou
called and asked to take me
to lunch. At lunch he said
he is still living with Meg,
but plans to move into a
place of his own soon. He
said hed like to start seeing
me on a regular basis. He
gave me his home phone
number, but said that if Meg
answers, I should tell her its
the school calling him about
a job.
I told him Im not inter-
ested in seeing him until he
is actually living on his own,
but he keeps calling to get
me to change my mind. My
children and my friends tell
me it would not be wrong to
start seeing Lou because hes
no longer actively involved
with the woman. Whats the
right thing to do?
Looking For Answers in
Florida
Dear Looking For Answers:
That you would have second
thoughts about becoming in-
volved with a man who asks
you to lie to the woman hes
been living with for 17 years
shows a lot about your char-
acter. That he would ask you
to do otherwise speaks not
very flatteringly about his.
You appear to be some-
one with high standards
and dignity. If you prefer to
wait until Meg and Lou are
no longer living together, I
respect that. And if his inter-
est in you is serious, he will
respect it, too.

break? I cant bend that far,
Chabora said. In the end, what
does he do, but he bends? Hes
going to survive that way.
Fiddler on the Roof is a sto-
ry of survival, as the Jewish
people of Anatevka face po-
groms, poverty and, finally, a
forced eviction from their vil-
lage.
This is survival through
faith and tradition and joyful-
ness, Chabora said. Thats
the key. Its about brave peo-
ple who are hanging on by
their love for each other,
their love for their communi-
ty and their love for the
things they do every day.
When the main characters
have to leave their homes at
the end, Chabora said, Its
not very different from what
a town goes through when a
tornado or hurricane sweeps
through. You come out with
nothing but the shirt on your
back and each other. You
look at each other and say,
Praise God. We have each
other. We can go on.

Tradition, tradition! Fiddler on the Roof brings humor and poi-
gnancy, music and dancing to the F.M. Kirby Center this week.
TremblyofDenver, Colo., saidshes
a big fan of the Monday comedies.
I can relate to the humor, said
Trembly, a single economic devel-
opment and marketing specialist.
Sometimes I wonder if the audi-

because the night is highly rated.
Elliot Metz, a 22-year-old news
producer fromWichita, Kan., used
to watch Two and a Half Men
with his parents until they
couldnt anymore.
It was still funny, he said. We
just kind of had trouble laughing
without lookingat eachother awk-
wardly.
NeilFlynnsaidthehumorismost-
ly lazy. Flynn, who stars as Mike
Heck in ABCs The Middle, said
hes put off by the constant sex and
anatomy jokes and is proud parents
andkids canwatchhis showtogeth-
er comfortably.
Its pandering to the lowest
common denominator, Flynn
said. Imnoexpert, but it seemsto
methatwereindangerof dumbing
down the audience, where they
think its a good joke when its ac-
tuallynotaverygoodjoke. Itsjusta
dirtyjoke. I just thinkprofession-
al comedy writers should write
jokes that only professional come-
dy writers cantell.
Mark Roberts, executive pro-
ducer of Mike &Molly, said hes
always enjoyed comedy on televi-
sion where he feels like people are
getting away withsomething.
Withsixsexjokes inarecent epi-
sode, and references to breasts,
flashing, erections and mooning,
Mike & Molly was the most se-
date of the four CBScomedies.
Theres certain things you cant
do, you know, Roberts said. Im
not sure what all of themare.
Neither is CBS, suggested
Chuck Lorre, whose production
companyoverseesMike&Molly
andTwoanda Half Men.
Thats one of the great things
about broadcast television is no-

playinginstruments. Thats all I cansay about
it, he teases, adding that the end of the show
is just as captivatingas its beginning. Theen-
core is really something. Its a patriotic theme
and is very special.
Anyone who has seen Rascal Flatts in con-
cert before they regularly play the Toyota
Pavilion at Montage Mountain each summer
can attest that Rooneys guitar work is a
highlight of the Flatts live experience. He has
been known to treat audiences to intricate so-
los, drawing on everything from Over the
Rainbow to the theme from Top Gun.
Its classic, isnt it? Rooney asks of the fa-
mous fighter-jet anthem. Ever since I was a lit-
tletyke, I lovedguitar, andI startedeatingupall
kinds of styles, from Chet Atkins to Stevie Ray
Vaughan, from Jeff Beck to Vince Gill. My dad
introduced me to country when I was a teenag-
er, but Ive always loved rock because of my
three older siblings. Its fun to stretch out.
Ditto for DeMarcus and LeVox, who each
get their solo time to shine. We have a mo-
ment in the showwhere we strip it down, and
Jay, Gary and I (honor) the influences we
love, Rooney says. Gary does something by
himself, Jay does something by himself, and
then me, all with our backing band.
In between, the trio perseveres to work in
as many hits as possible in a two-hour show,
drawing from their staggering 30 singles, 13
of which went to No. 1.
Thats the hard part, Rooney groans good-
naturedly. We want to do as many hits as we
can, but wewant tohavesomefun, too. Sowetry
to pick the best for each tour and change it up.
Ah, change the wordthat best describes
Rascal Flatts these days.
Still, the change the members were least ex-
pectingalsois theonetheyremost proudof: In
September, duringaperformanceat theGrand
Ole Opry, Gill askedthe flabbergastedFlatts to
join the hallowed country institution.
Its the greatest thing that has happened
to us, Rooney says without hesitation.
The beauty of seeing Vince Gill walk out on
stage and invite us to be the next members
of the Opry? We were blown away.
But most important, Rooney adds, the
honor scores points with the folks.
Thats the one that makes mom and dad
most proud!

Overwhelmed by this cascade
of literaryriches, I always havethe
same thought:
there are so
many great
books out there,
but everybody
keeps reading
the same book!
(1. The Help.
2. The Hunger

would say, now for something
completely different. Crackone of
these books and youll learn a lot,
maybe even think differently
whenyoure done:
George F. Kennan: An Ameri-

(Penguin Press). By coming up
with the containment strategy
that kept the U.S. and the Soviet
Union from taking up weapons
againsteachotherafterWorldWar

kept theColdWar fromturningin-

(think thermo-

people have bad days, and 2. All
human beings, even very smart
ones, are to some degree at war
with themselves. A biography fi-

The World on Fire: Britains
Crucial Role in the Civil War by
Amanda Foreman (Random

in hoop skirts) plotting in the
streets of London. English lords,
ladies and politicians battling in

tactical ground.
Anda whole cast
of British eccen-

Good reads from National Book Critics Circle awards finalists
By MARY ANN GWINN
The Seattle Times
As a nation of immigrants, the
United States has millions of sto-
ries of arrival, finding a way in a
new country, creating a new self.
Some are bold; some mundane.
Some are tragic; others joyous.
A Good American starts off
with two of these stories. Freder-
ick and Jette, brought together
by their love of music but forbid-
den to marry by Jettes family,
elope from Germany to the New
Worldaroundthe turnof the 20th
century New Orleans instead
of NewYork because thats where
the next boat was going (Whats
the difference? Theyre both
New. Thats good enough Jette
tells Frederick as they depart).
They make their way up the
Mississippi, winding up in Bea-
trice, Mo., where Frederick even-
tually buys a tavern and can once
again be surrounded by music.
Toldfromthepoint of viewof Fre-
derick and Jettes grandson
James, the novel spans three gen-
erations of the Meisenheimer
family: Frederick and Jette, their
childrenJosephandRosa, andJo-
sephs four sons.
The family, like any family, has
its trials and triumphs, its small
joys and aggravations and its
secrets as well. But the idea of be-
ing a Good American runs
through the family, lending it an
optimistic, uncomplicated patri-
otismthat is dampened and even
lost at times, but finds its way
back.
Music, too, runs through the
story, beginning with the old
songs Frederick sang to Jette and
thefirst notes of jazzheheardjust
off the boat in New Orleans.
The author, himself an immi-
grant, captures the fresh look
new arrivals take at the United
States, as well as the challenges
and sadness of abandoning ones
native home and trying to belong
someplace new. It makes the oc-
casional sentimentality of A
Good American forgivable, and
Georges lively writing and
strong storytelling make the
book an engrossing, entertaining
read.

L
ast fall, the Library of Amer-
ica released two volumes
featuring authors who
wrote during the Harlem
Renaissance, that vague
early 20th-century era whenblack nov-
elists, artists, poets, musicians, essay-
ists and even publishers pushed black
culture to the forefront.
The HarlemRenaissance served the
purpose, awakening whites to the in-
justice of racism and assuring blacks
that they werent alone.
But the stories of the time were of-
tenwhat is nowstandardfare for Black
History Month in February. Did we re-
allyneedmorewoe-is-mebookends for
English and African-American history

Thats the surprise. The selection of
stories, amazingly, attests that among
thephilosophyandsocial commentary
of much Harlem Renaissance litera-
ture is some delightful creativity.

These are not just another bundle of
obligatory texts to look up during
Black History Month: These are for
anyone who simply likes to read good
books.
If you can only afford one volume,
read the second volume with four nov-
els of the 1930s.
But the entire collection is nine nov-
els with the famous Library of Amer-

mean that really in a good way). Not a
bad deal.

WASHINGTON Flowers
once attached to President Abra-
ham Lincolns coffin and ribbons
from mourners have been paired
with videos and interactive dis-
plays to explore his life in a new
museum and education center at
the theater where Lincolnwas as-
sassinated.
The Fords Theatre Center for
Education and Leadership opens
to the public Sunday, the 203rd
anniversary of Lincolns birth.
The newcenter built in a10-story
former office building is part of a
$60 million project to create a
four-part campus for visitors to
learn about Lincoln in the na-
tions capital.
Visitors can begin with exhib-
its that explore Lincolns presi-
dency and see the theater where
he was shot April 14, 1865. They
can follow the story across the
street to see where Lincoln died
the next day.
More of Lincolns story can be
told in the new center. Visitors
will walk through a replica train
car to see objects never before
displayed from when the nation
grieved for 14 days after his
death. Lincolns funeral train
traveled fromWashington to Bal-
timore, Philadelphia and New
York City, then toward his home
in Illinois. They can retrace the
hunt for Lincolns assassin, John
Wilkes Booth, to a theatrical
model of the Virginia barn where
he was found. Soldiers set the
barnonfire tosmoke himout and
eventually shot Booth.
Director Paul Tetreault said
Fords Theatre is using the drama
of Lincolns story to teach history
with a working theater and vivid
exhibits.
The more theatrical we can
make the telling of the Lincoln
story, I think the most accessible
it is, he said. It comes alive.
Lincolns story is also told at
his presidential library and mu-
seum in Springfield, Ill., at his
birthplace in Kentucky, and at
Lincolns Cottage in Washington,
which served as his summer
home.
Since Fords Theatre reopened
to the public in 1968, more than
31 million people have visited.
Most of the plays at the theater
focus on the American experi-
ence.
About 750,000 people visit
eachyear. Withthe National Park
Service, which owns the theater,
Fords museum has displayed
Booths gun, as well as the blood-
stained overcoat Lincoln was
wearing when he was shot.
Tetreault said the theater can
offer more than just the story of
Lincolns death.
Once you get past the grief, I
think you start to get into the
study of who this man was, what
he did and how he changed
America, Tetreault said. Wash-
ington, D.C., is where Abraham
Lincoln became Abraham Lin-
coln.
A three-story sculptural tower
of books at the entrance repre-
sents the thousands of titles writ-
ten on Lincoln.
Beyond artifacts that include
pop culture items like Lincoln
Logs toys, the new galleries in-
clude videos with a history of the
Lincoln Memorial and its sym-
bolismas a place for protest, par-
ticularly for civil rights.
Another section explores the
inspiration Lincoln provided fu-
ture presidents. Dwight D. Eisen-
hower would sit in Lincolns pew
at a Washington church and
painted a portrait of Lincoln for
the White House cabinet room.
Theodore Roosevelt kept Lin-
colns portrait behind his presi-
dential desk and would look to it
when confronting problems. He
witnessed Lincolns funeral proc-
ession as a boy.
Later, Franklin D. Roosevelt
wouldvisit the LincolnMemorial
every year on Feb. 12.
I think it is time for us Demo-
crats to claim Lincoln as one of
our own, Roosevelt once said as
New York governor in 1929.
The gallery presents President
Barack Obama as having perhaps
the closest identification with
Lincoln as a fellow Illinois law-
maker who was elevated by a
single galvanizing speech to re-
ach the White House, citing Lin-
colns Cooper Union address in
1860 and Obamas 2004 Demo-
cratic National Convention
speech.
A rotating exhibit space ex-
plores the qualities of leadership
identified with Lincoln, such as
integrity, courage, empathy and
innovation. Education studios
and a distance-learning lab will
help the museum reach students
and teachers across the country,
organizers said.
If you think about what we
have a dearth of in this country, it
is real leaders, Tetreault said.
We want to talk about his qual-
ities of leadership, and hopefully
we can inspire a new generation
of young people.
A new education on Lincoln at Fords Theatre
By BRETT ZONGKER
Associated Press
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Fords Theatre Center for Education and Leadership in Washington. The new museum, across from Fords Theatre and next door to the house where Lincoln died, will
open in time for Presidents Day.
A three-story sculpture tower of books representing more than 15,000 titles that have been writ-
ten about Abraham Lincoln is part of an exhibit at the Fords Theatre Center for Education and
Leadership.
The eye of a painting of Abraham Lincoln appears to peek through
statues in an exhibit at the new educational center.
Part of the exhibit in the Fords Theatre Center for Education and
Leadership is seen during a media preview.
A pair of shoes with
Abraham Lincolns
face printed on them
is among the items
on exhibit in the new
educational center.
