The Greater Wilkes-Barre
Chamber of Business & Industry
has anewname, but not yet anew
leader.
Renamed the Greater Wilkes-
Barre Growth Partnership, the
economic development organiza-
tion had hoped to announce this
weekthat anoffer hadbeenmade
to the top appli-
cant for the po-
sition of presi-
dent and chief
executive offi-
cer. Instead, the
chairman of the
partnerships
board of direc-
tors said the
candidate had
withdrawn
from considera-
tion after re-
ceiving an im-
proved contract
from his pre-
sent employer.
Board Chair-
man Conrad
Schintz said
now the part-
nership will res-
tart a nation-
wide search to replace former
chief executiveToddVonderheid,
who left at the end of October.
Vonderheid gave notice he was
leaving early in 2011 with the
hope it would give the chamber
enough time to hire a replace-
ment.
As months went by the search
committee winnowed the appli-
cant pool down to 17 from 120
and then to six, four, two and fi-
nally one, while goals of filling
the post by Thanksgiving, De-
cember and February passed.
Two in-house candidates,
chamber vice presidents Larry
NewmanandDonnaSedor, made
it to the group of six candidates,
but not the final two.
Schintz said both are highly
thought of but we think we need
to go outside (the area) at this
time. He said other finalists
were from Ohio and Pennsylva-
nia, but declined to identify them

After several years of financial upheaval
when endowments plummeted and fun-
draising was flagging, colleges across the
nationincludingthoselocallyhaveexpe-
rienced back-to-back years in which the
trend has reversed.
According to a report released Wednes-
day by the Council for Aid to Education, 58
percent of colleges nationwide saw fun-
draising dollars increase from 2010 to 2011.
Overall, donations rose to $30.3 billion, ris-
ing above the $30 billion mark for just the
second time ever, and improving many
schools financial footing. Adjusted for in-
flation, giving increased 4.8 percent.
Giving to higher education institutions,
according to the report, was just $1.3 billion
below its historical high of $31.6 billion, re-
ached in 2008.
At Misericordia University in Dallas
Township, fundraising rose by $789,000
from2010 to 2011. The school reported $3.6
million raised in fiscal year 2011, the best of
Luzerne Countys three private schools.
That total was the 54th highest among
Pennsylvania colleges and universities.
Tops on the list were The University of
Pennsylvania at $437 million; Penn State
University at $270 million and the Universi-
ty of Pittsburgh at $114 million. No other
school reported raising more than $80 mil-
lion.
Wilkes University and Kings College,
both located in Wilkes-Barre, reported low-
er fundraising totals in 2011 than in 2010.
At Kings, fundraising of $3.2 million last
year was $1.7 million less than in 2010.

WILKES-BARRE A city man
employed as a security officer in
Luzerne County and as a Wilkes-
Barre constable has been charged
with a misdemeanor offense after
investigators said he did not dis-
close on an application a previous
conviction.
Kenneth Leon Holley, 56, of
Stanley Street, was charged by Lu-
zerne County detectives on a sin-
gle count of making a statement
under penalty.
Holley, hired in 1996 to work in
the countys 911 center, most re-
cently worked as a security officer,
stationed at the Luzerne County
Children and
Youth and Bu-
reau of Aging
building. He is
paid approxi-
mately $32,000
a year.
InterimCoun-
tyManagerTom
Pribula said Wednesday Holley
hadbeensuspendedwithout pay.
Holley, whowas arraignedMon-
day, did not return a phone mess-
age seeking comment. His status
as a city constable was unknown
Wednesday.
A preliminary hearing is sched-
uled for Feb. 21 before District
Judge Martin Kane in Wilkes-
Barre.
Holleywas hiredin1996towork
in the county 911center and trans-
ferredtothesecuritydepartment a
shorttimelater. Accordingtocourt
papers, inJulyheappliedforaposi-
tion that required firearms clear-
ance and agreed to a background
check.
InvestigatorslearnedHolleyhad
beenchargedwithreceivingstolen
propertyin1975inPassaicCounty,
N.J., and was sentenced to five
years of suspended confinement
andtwoyears probation.
Investigators said the charge re-
lated to a stolen check in the
amount of $273, a felony of the
thirddegree inNewJersey.
Typically, apersonconvictedof a
felonyisprohibitedfromowningor
carryinga firearm.
When questioned by Luzerne
County detectives, Holley said he
never spent time injail anddidnot
put the conviction on his applica-
tion because he felt it did not
count as a conviction since he
spent notime injail.
Holley told investigators he
agreed to the two-year probation-
ary sentence, and was asked if he
understood that a plea of guilty in
court is still considered a convic-
tion.
Investigators also learned Hol-
ley was using two different birth
dates. His July application listed a
1955 birth date while his Pennsyl-
vania drivers license listed a 1954
date.
Holleytoldinvestigators thedis-
crepancyoccurredwhenhemoved
from New Jersey to Pennsylvania
30 years ago, and that he brought
the date to the attention of the De-
partment of Transportation, but
wastoldtosimplyutilizethatdate
of birth.
Holleysaidhecouldnotproduce
a birth certificate or military re-
cordsbecausehewasbornonares-
ervation in North Carolina and a
fire destroyed documents kept at
his grandmothers house in New
Jersey.
Holley admitted, investigators
said, that hewas previouslydenied
a license to carry a concealed fire-
arm by the Luzerne County Sher-
iffs Office because of the 1975
charge.
Accordingtocourt records, Hol-
ley has served as a constable since
at least 2005, andwas most recent-
lyelectedtothesix-yearpositionin
the citys 13th Ward in November
2009.
Under Pennsylvania law, a con-
stablemaybeelectedor appointed
to six-year terms, and can arrest
persons for felony crimes and
breaches of the peace.
Constables canalsoworkfor the
district court system by serving
warrants, transporting prisoners,
serving summons, complaints and
subpoenas and maintaining order
at electionpolls.

WILKES-BARRE The
Church on the Square received
approval for a variance from the
city Zoning Hearing Board
Wednesday and will start hold-
ing services in the near future.
Pastor Vince OBoyle said
Wednesday that the church now
needs a certificate of occupancy
and once received, the church
will open at 52 Public Square
near Leo Matus newsstand.
OBoyle and Pastor Louis
Smyth say they want to help
people turn their lives around.
The non-denominational
church kind of Pentecostal
is not affiliated with any orga-
nized religion, OBoyle said.
OBoyle and Smyth were both
ordained by the New Life Evan-
gelistic Ministries. They hope it
will become their home office as
the church grows and a larger
location is needed.
The interior of the rented
space has been painted and car-
peted with chairs already in
place.
OBoyle, 58, of Falls, said ser-
vices will be held Sunday morn-
ings at 10:30 and will include
preaching and music. There will
be a childrens area away from
the open space where services
will be held.
In other business Wednesday,
the Zoning Hearing Board con-
tinued a request for a variance
to reduce the number of parking
spaces for a proposed Chinese
restaurant.
Mark Coal Street Associates,
L.P., requested the variance for
the property located at 410
Wilkes-Barre Township Boule-
vard to reduce the number of re-
quired parking spaces from 124
spaces down to 104 and a varia-
nce to waive the required off-
street loading berth in order to
construct a 10,000 square foot
building for a proposed restau-
rant.
Mark Coal Street Associates
will have to re-submit the plans
with more details, said Bill Har-
ris, the citys director of plan-
ning and zoning.
According to Marvin Slomo-
witz of Mark Coal Street Associ-
ates, once all zoning approvals
are received a free-standing
building will be built along
Business Route 309 between
Walgreens and Pep Boys auto
parts.
Slomowitz said it will take ap-
proximately four months to con-
struct the building, meaning an
early fall opening is targeted.

Munchak files appeal
F
ormer Lackawanna County com-
missioner A.J. Munchak has filed
a notice of appeal of his conviction
on corruption charges.
Munchak, 65, and his co-defend-
ant, former commissioner Robert
Cordaro, 50, were
convicted in June
on numerous charg-
es related to their
extortion of compa-
nies that did busi-
ness with the coun-
ty while they were
majority commis-
sioners.
Munchak was sentenced last
month to seven years in prison,
while Cordaro was sentenced to 11
years in prison.
Munchaks attorney filed notice
Wednesday that he is appealing the
case to the Third Circuit Court of
Appeals. Cordaro is also expected to
file a notice of appeal, but had not
done so as of Wednesday evening.
Cordaro was taken into custody
immediately after sentencing. The
Federal Bureau of Prisons website
indicated Cordaro was in transit to a
federal facility on Wednesday, but
did not indicate where he will be
housed.
Munchak was permitted to remain
free until April 3 to tend to a med-
ical condition.

A proposed ordinance that would

Forty Fort is illegal and will need to be
revised, the boroughs solicitor has de-
termined.
Attorney Sam Falcone on Wednes-

that theordinance, whichrequiresfour
votes tohireandsixvotes of theseven-
member council toterminatetheman-
ager, violates the boroughcode, which
states that a simple

tohireorfireaman-

dents Andy Tuzin-
ski and Jeff
McLaughlin ques-
tioned council last
week regarding the
ordinances legality.
Tuzinski, a former councilman, said
hehadseriousconcernsabout theordi-
nance because of the disparity in the
number of votes neededtohire, versus
fire, the manager. That wouldpermit a
majority of council to more easily vote
in the person they wanted while mak-
ing it more difficult to terminate that
person.
I just felt theordinancecreatedasit-

Tuzinski saidhe alsowas suspicious
of the way council created the ordi-

Fire damages Lehman Township home
CLARK VAN ORDEN/THE TIMES LEADER
Firefighters from Lehman Township remove burned furniture from a double home on Jackson Road on
Wednesday morning. It was reported that two elderly people were taken to an area hospital. The cause of the
fire is under investigation. Firefighters from Dallas, Lehman Township, Lake Silkworth and Jackson Township
and the Kingston Township rescue unit responded to the blaze. Additional information was not available.
A summer job turned into a lifelong ca-
reer for Michael Prazma, thenewvicepres-
ident of circulation for The Times Leader.
On break fromcollege in Greeley, Colo.,
Prazma took a job as a district manager at
the local daily newspaper.
I liked it so much I just stayed with it,
he said. That was in1978, and Prazma has
moved up and around in the newspaper
circulation business ever since, including
stints as an executive at major chains Gan-
nett and Knight Ridder. He started at The
Times Leader on Feb. 6.
Prazma praised the department left by
Dick DeHaven, who re-
tired in January.
Its a good operation
already, he said. Be-
yond keeping present
customers happy, his fo-
cus will be on building
our subscriber base.
Prashant Shitut, pres-
ident and interim CEO of Impressions
Media, The Times Leaders parent compa-
ny, echoed Prazmas assessment.
Our circulationteamis already produc-
ing great results. Michaels strong experi-
ence and leadership skills will only streng-
then it further, Shitut said.
The fundamental keys to success
havent changed much during Prazmas 34
years in the business: Treat customers
fairly and make sure they get their paper
on time, he said.
With two competing newspapers, Lu-
zerne County is almost a unique market in
the industry. But at jobs in Colorado and

KINGSTON For a few
hours Wednesday night, the
Wyoming Valley West Middle
School students and teachers
put aside their books, picked up
dodgeballs and squared off in a
raucous tournament to raise
money for a local charity.
Bodies sprawled on the
floors of the two gyms inside
the Chester Street school. Er-
rant balls smacked against the
walls. And parents and children
cheered for their teams with
names like, The Lesser Evil
DJs, The Rejects, Balls of
Fury, and The Hasselhoffs.
Jake Sholtis, an eighth-grade
language arts teacher at the
middle school, said it was the
third year for the tournament
and nearly 200 students and
more than 20 teachers partici-
pated. They paid a fee to enter
and admission was charged at
the door. Gift baskets were raf-
fled off and a concession stand
sold pizza, drinks and snacks.
The moneys going to Din-
ner for Kids which is a local
charity run by the owner of Ol-
lies, said Sholtis.
The Edwardsville restaurant
prepares nutritious dinners de-
livered to the
homes of needy
children. Sholtis
estimated this
years tourna-
ment would raise
between $1,800
and $2,000 for the
program.
Its a great fun-
draiser, said
Beth Romanowski, who came
to watch her teacher/husband
Chris, son Chad, a seventh-
grader, and daughter Leah, a
sixth-grader, play.
They hadnt yet met up as op-
ponents in the tournament,
sparing her from choosing
sides. Were good, she said.
That wasnt the case for
Hunnter Maxwell.
My parents were over
there, he said.
Donna and Scott Maxwell
played on The Punishers and
met their son, who was on The
Texas Tormentors in a first-
round bracket.
The Punishers prevailed as
Hunnter, a 13-year-old eighth-
grader from Forty Fort was the
last of his team to go out.
Ned Whalen, a member of
the Killer Beez, and a sev-
enth-grade social studies teach-
er, acknowledged his dodging
and throwing skills hadnt been
used in a long time.
I probably havent played
the game in 18 years, said
Whalen.
Some of his students had
much better aims and quicker
feet and were having a ball try-
ing to take out the teachers.
Still, Whalen enjoyed the
competition and the opportuni-
ty to participate.
Theres teacher support and
theres teacher involvement
and it works, he said.

BEIRUT
New constitution sought
A
s Syrian forces stepped up their
assault Wednesday on rebellious
cities, President Bashar Assad ordered
a referendum on a new constitution
that would create a multiparty system
in a country that has been ruled by his
autocratic family dynasty for 40 years.
Assads regime is touting the new
constitution as the centerpiece of re-
forms aimed at calming Syrias upheav-
al. But after 11 months of bloodshed,
with well over 5,000 dead in the re-
gimes crackdown on protesters and
rebels, Assads opponents say the refer-
endum and reforms are not enough and
that the countrys strongman must go.
The White House also dismissed the
referendum. Press secretary Jay Carney
called the move laughable in light of
ongoing brutality by the Syrian mil-
itary and said it makes a mockery of
the uprising.
Meanwhile Russias foreign minister
on Wednesday blamed external ac-
tors for prolonging Syrias agony,
suggesting that the U.S. and its allies
opposed negotiations to end the blood-
shed there and were responsible for
torpedoing a U.N. resolution aimed at
calming the situation.
WASHINGTON
GOP to block nuke cuts
Congressional Republicans on
Wednesday vowed to block the Obama
administration from sharply cutting the
U.S. nuclear force, calling potential
reductions of as much as 80 percent in
the number of deployed weapons reck-
less lunacy.
Pointing to the growing number of
trouble spots, from Iran to Syria to
Egypt, members of the House Armed
Services Committee said any signif-
icant cuts would undermine the U.S.
ability to deter aggression. The Associ-
ated Press reported on Tuesday that
the administration is weighing several
options for new reductions from the
current treaty limit of 1,550 deployed
strategic warheads.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and
Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the
committee that no decision has been
made and maintaining the current level
is one of the options. But that did little
to assuage GOP lawmakers.

WASHINGTON Calling quits to a
bruising election-year fight, negotiators
on Capitol Hill worked into Wednesday
night ironing out final details of an agree-
ment to extend a cut in the payroll taxes
paid by most Americans. The legislation
also would renew jobless benefits for mil-
lions more.
The $150 billion measure taking shape
represents a tactical retreat for Republi-
cans, who are generally unenthusiastic
about thelegislationbut eager tomovebe-
yond the issue. With campaign season
starting, theydont want President Barack
Obama and Democrats in Congress to be
able to claimthe GOPwas standing in the
way of a middle-class tax cut.
Lawmakers hoped to officially unveil
the measure Wednesday night so it could
be voted on Friday in the House and then
quickly pass the Senate. It would repre-
sent a rare burst of bipartisanship in a bit-
terly divided Congress.
The legislation would continue a 2 per-
centage point cut in the Social Security
payroll tax, renewjobless benefits averag-
ingabout $300aweekfor peoplelanguish-
ing for long periods on unemployment
rolls and protect doctors from a huge cut
in their Medicare reimbursements.
The measure carries a price tag of
roughly $150 billionover the coming year,
partly financed through requiring federal
workers to contribute an additional 1.5
percent of their earnings towardtheir pen-
sions. That provision, bitterly fought by
federal unions, would generate $15 billion
over the coming decade.
Auctions of portions of the communica-
tions spectrum to wireless companies
would net another $15 billion or so
even after $7 billion is set aside to con-
struct andrunanewpublicsafetynetwork
for emergency first responders.
Extending the payroll tax cut and re-
newing long-term jobless benefits were
key planks in Obamas jobs program,
which was announced last September.
The measure also includes a key adjust-
ment to the badly broken Medicare pay-
ment formula for doctors, which would

TEHRAN, Iran In defiant
swipes at its foes, Iran said
Wednesday it is dramatically
closer to mastering the produc-
tion of nuclear fuel even as the
U.S. weighs tougher pressures
and Tehrans suspected shadow
war with Israel brings probes
far beyond the
Middle East.
Iran further
struck back at
the West by in-
dicating it was
on the verge of
imposing a
midwinter fuel
squeeze to Eu-
rope in retaliation for a looming
boycott of Iranian oil.
The uncompromising mess-
ages from Iran, however, came
with a counterpoint. The offi-
cial IRNA news agency said
Irans top nuclear negotiator,
Saeed Jalili, told European
Union foreign policy chief Cath-
erine Ashton that Iran is ready
to return to talks with the U.S.
and other world powers.
The dual strategy taking
nuclear steps while proposing
more talks has become a hall-
mark of Irans dealings for years
and some critics have dismis-
sed it as a time-buying tactic.
In a live TV broadcast, Presi-
dent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
was shown overseeing what
was described as the first Ira-
nian-made fuel rod inserted in-
to a research reactor in north-
ern Tehran. Separately, the
semiofficial Fars agency report-
ed that a new generation of
Iranian centrifuges used to
enrich uranium toward nuclear
fuel had gone into operation.
In Washington, the assistant
secretary of state for Interna-
tional Security and Nonprolifer-
ation, Tom Countryman, dis-
missed the Iranian claims of re-
aching a pivotal moment.
Meanwhile, Iran is facing ma-
jor new international complica-
tions: Accusations of bringing
an apparent covert conflict with
Israel to points stretching from
Thailand and India to the for-
mer Soviet republic of Georgia.
Officials in Israel ramped up
allegations that Iran was linked
to international bomb plots,
saying magnetic sticky
bombs found in a Bangkok
house rented by Iranians were
similar to devices used against
Israeli envoys in a foiled attack
in Georgia on Monday and a
blast in New Delhi that injured
four people, including a diplo-
mats wife.

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras A fire
started by an inmate tore through an
overcrowded prison in Honduras, burn-
ing and suffocating screaming men in
their locked cells as rescuers desperately
searched for keys. As many as 300 people
were killed in the worlds deadliest pris-
on fire in eight decades.
The local governor, who was once a
prison employee, told reporters Wednes-
day that an inmate called her moments
before the blaze broke out and screamed:
I will set this place on fire and we are all
going to die!
Comayagua Gov. Paola Castro said she
called the Red Cross and fire brigade im-
mediately. But firefighters saidthey were
kept outside for half an hour by guards
who fired their guns in the air, thinking
they had a riot or a breakout on their
hands.
Officials have long had little control
over conditions inside many Honduran
prisons, where inmates have largely un-
fettered access to cell phones and other
contraband.
Survivors told investigators the uni-
dentified inmate yelled We will all die
here! as he lit fire to his bedding late
Tuesday night inthe prisoninthe central
town of Comayagua, north of the capital
of Tegucigalpa. The lockup housed peo-
ple convicted of serious crimes such as
homicide and armed robbery.
The blaze spread within minutes, kill-
ing about 100 inmates in their cells as
firefighters struggled to find officials
who had keys, Comayagua fire depart-
ment spokesman Josue Garcia said.
We couldnt get them out because we
didnt have the keys and couldnt find the
guards who had them, Garcia said.
Other prisoners were set free by
guards but diedfromtheflames or smoke
as they tried to flee into the fields sur-
rounding the facility, where prisoners
grewcorn and beans on a state-run farm.
Comayagua, which houses members
of the nations largest gangs, was built in
the1940s for 400 inmates, but its popula-
tion had more than doubled to 852, with
only100guards tomaintainorder. Unlike
U.S. prisons, where locks can be released
automatically in an emergency, Hondu-
ran prisons are infamous for being old,
overcrowded hotbeds of conflict and
crime.

LOS ANGELES The Los Angeles
County coroners office has issued sub-
poenas for medical and pharmacy re-
cords from Whitney Houstons doctors
and medical providers, which is stan-
dard procedure in such investigations,
an official said.
Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter
said the request is made in virtually all
deathinvestigations because it canshed
additional light on howpeople died and
whether they had any serious medical
conditions.
Winter said that at this point, there is
nothing unusual about how his office is
proceeding with the Houston death in-
vestigation and that requests for med-
ical records are requested through sub-
poenas.
If somebody even dies in a crash, a
blunt force trauma, we will still take
medical issues into account, he said.
Anything helps.
Investigators in the Houston case
found several bottles of prescription
medication in the Beverly Hills, Calif.,
hotel roomwhere she died Saturday, al-
though Winter has said they werent an
unusually large number. Detectives
have declinedtodisclose whichmedica-
tions were seized.
Authorities said an autopsy found no
indications of foul play or obvious signs
of trauma on Houston. She was under-
water and apparently unconscious
when she was pulled froma bathtub, of-
ficials said.
It could be weeks before the coroners
office completes toxicology tests to es-
tablish the cause of death.
Medical records have become crucial
in celebrity death investigations, in-
cluding inquiries into what killed actor
Corey Haim, actress Brittany Murphy
and pop superstar Michael Jackson.

the asphalt mixwill come froman
existent surface mine. He added
that an environmental impact
study has been completed and
Bower already has a mining per-
mit which was issued by the state
Department of Environmental
Protection in June 2011.
The only public objection was
voicedby Gary Spencer of 353 Sa-
lemBlvd., whose family is associ-
ated with what is commonly
known as Spencers Junkyard
and whose property adjoins Bow-
ers. In testimony, and in a letter
submitted to the supervisors,
Spencer argued the plant has the
potential to interfere with his
quality of life, reduce the value of
his real estate and cause odor,
noise and pollutant issues.
After hearing his comments re-
buttedby townshipzoningofficer
Karen Karchner, the supervisors,
Josh Kishbaugh, Robert Pearce
and Joseph Siecko, unanimously
approved Bowers project.
Meeker said at its peak, the
plant will conservatively produce
12 truck loads of asphalt per day,

SALEM TWP. Supervisors
on Tuesday approved three
land development projects.
The largest project involves
the construction of an asphalt-
producing plant, the Cedar
Rocks Materials Company, on
325acres of landownedbyDon
E. Bower in a sector of the
township bounded by Salem
Boulevard (Route 11) and Min-
gle Inn Road.
According to Bill Garrett, a
partner in the firm of Meeker
Equipment of Hatfield, the
plant will cost an estimated $7
million and will be assembled
by Meeker on the site after be-
ingfabricatedby All-MixInc. of
Fort Wayne, Ind.
During questioning by attor-
ney Don Karpowich, who rep-
resented Bower at a public
hearing conducted prior to the
supervisors monthly meeting,
Meeker said he has been in-
volved in hundreds of these
projects since 1972, many of
which operate efficiently in the
Philadelphia area.
Joseph Montanaro, a mining
engineer who testified on be-
half of Bower, said the project
will have little environmental
impact on either water or wet-
lands and aggregate (stone) for
be 40 trucks per day. The super-
visors also granted approval for
the Ditt-Bran minor subdivision
alongBowers Road, near16thSt.,
as well as the land development
plan of the Tech Packaging firm
situated along River Road in
Beach Haven.
In another matter involving
land development, the supervi-
sors voted to have two additional
stop signs installed at the inter-
section of Sixth Street and Lu-
zerne Avenue, making it a four-
way stop, in advance of a residen-
tial/apartment project that has
been proposed for construction
by the Marr company.
The supervisors were not in ac-
cordwhenit came toappointinga
township engineer. Pearce made
a motion to appoint Dennis Pe-
ters Engineering of Berwick, but
Pearces proposal failed. Siecko
nominated Barry Isset Inc. of the
Hazleton area and in a 2-1 vote,
Kishbaugh aligned with Siecko in
Isset being appointed as the pri-
mary engineer. Peters, instead,
was selected as the alternate en-
gineer.

DURYEA Borough council
passed a motion Tuesday night to
join in the creation of the Greater
Pittston Regional Compost Com-
mission.
The borough will enter into an
intergovernmental agreement
with Dupont, Avoca, Pittston,
Jenkins Township, Hughestown,
and Laflin, in which yard waste
collected from the communities
will be put through machinery in
Dupont to create compost. Coun-
cil member Frank Groblewski
was appointed as the Duryea rep-
resentative on the commission,
with council President Audrey
Marcinko as the alternate repre-
sentative.
In other business:
After a motion by council
member Michael McGlynn and a
vote, it was decided to open both
Duryea parks immediately this
winter due to the nice weather.
The police will open the commu-
nityparkfrom7a.m. to9p.m. and
Healey Park from dusk to dawn
no matter the weather.
The council approvedthe hir-
ing of three part-time police offi-
cers: Charles Swisher of Old
Forge, John Bevilaqua of Dallas
andDonaldMacRaeIII of Duryea.
The $7,111 in donation mon-
ey for Duryea residents affected
by the flood still hasnt been dis-
tributed. The borough council is
still looking for ideas from resi-
dents on how to distribute the
money, located in an account at
the Penn Security Bank.
At the open work session be-
fore the meeting, Denise Kumor
spoke for Tracys Hope Hospice
Care Programand Rescue for Do-
mestic Animal Incorporationcon-
cerning developing a non-tether-
ing ordinance in Duryea for dogs.
Kumor said during her proposal
that Duryea can be an example
for thiswe canmake a difference
here in Duryea. She cited exam-
ples in Duryea of tethering issue
complaints. Kumor understands
that exact wording would need to
be considered to define cruel and
non-cruel tethering, with time
constraints and severe weather
constraints, but thegroupis hope-
ful and would be willing to do all
of the foot work.
Groupmembers hopetoreform
animal treatment in Pennsylva-
nia. Borough Solicitor Donald
Frederickson agreed to research
what theboroughis legallyableto
do concerning such an ordinance.

PLYMOUTH Council at
Tuesday nights meeting contin-
ued to work on revitalizing parts
of the borough devastated in last
years flooding.
Council tentatively awarded a
bidof $32,740toBrdaric Excavat-
ing of Luzerne to repair a section
of the Coal Creek stream bank
that was washed away, depend-
ing on the amount of the state
grant the borough received.
Council originally thought the
grant was for $25,000 but other
borough officials believe it was
for $35,000.
I really believe its for
$25,000, said Borough Coordi-
nator Joe Mazur. Im not sure
where the other figures are com-
ing from.
Just in case the grant is for
$35,000, council alreadyvotedon
and passed a resolution to award
the contract. If it is for $25,000,
council will conduct a vote by
phone on how to proceed with
the project.
Councilman Tom McTague
questioned if voting by phone
was legal, and Mazur said it is.
The borough solicitor was not
present at the meeting to give an
opinion.
In other business:
Councilman Bill Dixon said
he wants council to focus on
cleaning up abandoned and
blighted properties. Dixon said
he has researched the matter and
believes council can take a more
aggressive approach by issuing
citations to out-of-state landlords
who let their properties fall into
disrepair.
Council President Frank
Coughlin advised Dixon to meet
withJohnThomas, the boroughs
code enforcement officer, to find
out what steps the borough has
already taken. Coughlin said
council would try to set up a
meeting to discuss options.
Council agreed to refund a
total of $1,247 in property taxes
to five residents. Mazur said the
refunds were issued due to the
properties being reassessed.
McTague and Coughlin said
residents needtotake more pride
in the borough.
McTague said both residents
andthose fromout of townhave a
habit of throwing their trash bags
and household garbage in the
waste baskets along Main Street.
The cans are often overflowing
and McTague said he witnessed
one man stop and take bags from
his vehicles trunk and put them
in the cans. He was too far away
to catch the man, he said.
Council will look into refi-
nancing a $400,000 loan to save
on interest. Councilman Clif Ma-
drack said he believes the bor-
ough can save at least $25,000 in
interest.

DUPONT Borough council
Tuesday night passed a motion
to pay for a new natural gas-pow-
ered packer truck. The vehicle
costs $200,300, but $149,132 of
that will be reimbursed by the
state Department of Environ-
mental Protection.
The council also voted to pay
nearly $10,000 to install a natural
gas pumping station in order to
fuel the new truck.
In related news, the borough
anticipates that it will be able to
solicit bids to install fencing at a
site off of Commerce Road,
which will eventually host both
the pumping station and a com-
post heap.
In 2011, Dupont entered into a
cooperative agreement with the
boroughs of Avoca, Duryea, La-
flin, Hughestown, Jenkins Town-
ship and the city of Pittston to
purchasea tubgrinder inorder to
convert yard waste to compost.
Also on Tuesday, the council
officially passed a motion to offi-
cially apply to the DEP for per-
mission to operate the compost-
ing facility. The formality was
necessary as Dupont begins the
process of puttingthe final pieces
in place in preparation to have
the facility in working order later
this year.
It was also announced that Du-
pont has been awarded a $75,000
grant for community develop-
ment from Luzerne County.
The borough will use $65,000
topave sections of Walnut andLi-
dy streets in addition to other ar-
eas that are yet to be determined.
The other $10,000 of the grant
will be used to demolish an aban-
doned home in an alley off of
Wyoming Street.
As a cost saving-measure, the
council approved a motion to re-
place much of the lighting in the
municipal building. The $3,400
job will yield an $800 rebate from
PPL and will reduce yearly light-
ing costs from roughly $1,300 to
around $800.
Council member Mark Ko-
walczyk urged residents living
east of Chestnut Street to write
to the UGI power company if
they are interested in having ad-
ditional gas lines installed in that
area.
Boroughofficials reportedthat
UGI was hesitant toarrangeaddi-
tional installations because of
the rocky terrain that would be
encountered because of the pro-
ject. Kowalczyk pointed out that
UGI would only undertake the
project if they felt it would be fi-
nancially rewarding.
Kowalczyk also urged borough
residents to support the Pittston
Area Leos Clubs efforts to plant
trees at the beginning of Garden
Road between the Interstate 81
bridge and the Sacred Heart
Cemetery.
He also suggested that resi-
dents participate in the organiza-
tions clothing and shoe drive
fundraiser from March1 through
March 16.
Clothes and shoes can be drop-
ped off at the Dupont Municipal
Building at 600 Chestnut St. or

WILKES-BARRE A man
chargedbycitypolicewithraping
asleepingteenagegirl isexpected
to plead guilty to a felony sex of-
fense.
Jermaine L. Crosby, 28, of East
Main Street, Plains Township,
waived his right to a preliminary
hearing Wednesday in Wilkes-
Barre Central Court, sending a
single count of statutory sexual
assault to Luzerne County Court.
Under a negotiated plea deal
with prosecutors, Crosby is ex-
pected to plead
guilty to the
second-degree
felony.
If Crosby
changes his
mind and does
not pleadguilty,
Assistant Dis-
trict Attorney Jenny Roberts said
charges of rape, involuntary de-
viate sexual intercourse and ag-
gravated indecent assault will be
reinstated against Crosby for
trial.
Crosby is facinga 20- to40-year
stateprisonsentenceandlifetime
registrationunder Megans Lawif
he is convicted of all the charges,
Roberts said.
He is facing a 10-year prison
sentence and registration of 10
years if he pleads guilty to statu-
tory assault.
According to the criminal com-
plaint:
Policereceivedinformationthe
girl was awakened while being
sexually assaulted by Crosby in-
side a Wyoming Street house on
Jan. 9. She fell back to sleep and
was awakened a second time,
claiming Crosby was raping her.
When Crosby realized the girl
opened her eyes, he left the bed-
room, telling the girl not to tell
anyone, the criminal complaint
says.
The girl identified Crosby, who
was staying at the house with his
girlfriend, Tabitha Bidgood, by
his first name, Jermaine. Bidgood
isarelativeof thegirl andshareda
bedroom.
The girl told police she had
troublesleepingbecauseBidgood
and Crosby were arguing. Crosby
told Bidgood to leave, and she
went downstairs, leaving Crosby
alone with the girl in the bed-
room.
Police said the girl was treated
at Geisinger Wyoming Valley
Medical Center in Plains Town-
ship. Crosby was apprehended

WILKES-BARRE A Pittston
manwhosays heblackedout after
ingesting pills, did not remember
robbing a convenience store and
was arrested for burglarizing a
Wilkes-Barre home, was sen-
tenced Wednesday to two to four
years in state prison.
James Herron, 18, of Center
Street, was sentenced on charges
of robberyandburglarybyCounty
Judge Tina Polachek Gartley. He
pleaded guilty to the robbery
charge in November and the bur-
glary charge Wednesday.
Consequences follow our ac-
tions, Polachek Gartley told Her-
ron. You were so intoxicated and
so unable to control yourself
(that) a very serious crime was
committed.
Herron apologized for his ac-
tions Wednesday, tellingthejudge
he has spent the last nine months
in jail, has learned his lesson and
does not want to return there.
Im very sorry, Herron said.
Imgoingtodogoodthings (with
my life).
According to court papers, in
March 2011, police were called to
the Turkey Hill on Maffett Street
in Plains Township, where they
found a clerk bleeding from his
nose and blood behind the coun-
ter.
Police said a pellet gun, sun-
glasses, socks, a plastic bag and a
hat were also found, suggesting a
struggle.
Afewdays after therobbery, po-
lice said they were contacted by
Herron, who said he saw a news-
cast on the robbery and recog-
nized his sneaker and pellet gun
insidethestore. Herronsaidhere-
membered leaving home with his
pellet gun that night to buy ciga-
rettes and stopped to purchase
five unknown pills from a man he
only knew as Larry.
Herron told police he blacked
out after ingesting the pills and
whenhewokeup, waswet andnot
wearing socks or shoes. He later
remembered, police said, that he
walked into the store and told the
clerk to open a safe, according to
court papers.
In the unrelated burglary inci-
dent, police saidHerronentereda

SCRANTON A Hanover
Township man on Monday was
sentenced to five years in feder-
al prison for receiving child
pornography.
Derek Pruveadenti, 22, previ-
ously admitted to using a com-
puter to download images of
child pornography between
2008 and March 8, 2011, accord-
ing to Peter J. Smith, U.S. At-
torney for the Middle District
of Pennsylvania. Pruveadenti
was indicted by a federal grand
jury in March 2011 as a result of
an investigation by the FBI and
state police.
Senior U.S. District Court
Judge James M. Munley, who
imposed the sentence, also
ordered that Pruveadenti be
placed on supervised release for
20 years following his prison
sentence, pay a $500 fine, pay a
special assessment of $100,
undergo sex offender treatment
and comply with sex offender
registration requirements.
Smith said the case was
brought as part of Project Safe
Childhood, a U.S. Department
of Justice nationwide initiative
to combat child sexual exploita-
tion and abuse.

2011. When police arrived,
Lohman was exiting the home,
and arrested. Police said Loh-
man used a hammer to break
the window and his cell phone
was found on the front porch.
COURT BRIEFS
To this day, I dont know what
these detectives do.
Stephen A. Urban
The Luzerne County councilman and former county
commissioner opposed a 2012 budget plan approved
by council Tuesday, saying the district attorney and
other judicial offices should have been compelled to further cut costs.
Obamas altered mandate
still violates liberties
P
resident Barack Obamas tweaking of
the Health and Human Services man-
date compelling Catholic universities,
hospitals and charities to pay for health
insurance that covers abortion-inducing
drugs, sterilizations and contraception did
not address the concerns of defenders of
religious liberties.
Congressman Chris Smith characterized
it this way: The so-called new policy is
the discredited old policy, dressed up to
look like something else. He added: It
remains a serious violation of religious
freedom. Only the most nave or gullible
would accept this as a change in policy.
The president stated that insurance
companies will pick up the tab for these
services. I have a hard time believing that
these for-profit companies will agree to
this.
Well, we know that someone is going to
have to pay, because nothing in life is free.
So who is most likely going to pay? The
religious employer, of course.
Barbara Yanchek

Place health care choices
in hands of the individual
P
resently, there is much concern about
Catholics being forced to violate their
moral consciences as a result of the
mandated contraception coverage to be
imposed by the Affordable Care Act.
However, for years many Catholic em-
ployees have been contributing to employ-
er-sponsored health care plans that provide
contraception coverage; and while the
employers might not be Catholic or Ca-
tholic-affiliated entities, the fact remains
that some Catholics are paying for insur-
ance that contains a contraception benefit.
So to blame the new health care law seems
unfair. Would not it make more sense to
place the burden on the individual as to
whether to use the benefit?
Interestingly too, all the news media
attention seems to be focused on Catholic-
affiliated organizations. Why has there
been no mention of controversy regarding
other religions? For example, the Jehovahs
Witnesses consider blood transfusions a
violation of their religious beliefs. No
doubt most, if not all, policies of health
care coverage (including those under the
Affordable Care Act) allow for blood trans-
fusions. It seems that the responsibility for
adhering to the beliefs of the Jehovahs
Witnesses is placed upon its members.
At least all seem to agree that religious
freedom is an individual constitutional
right. By exempting Catholic-affiliated
employers from this mandate, it will follow
that women who do not share the same
Catholic beliefs will be denied contracep-
tion coverage. Will this then be considered
a violation of their religious freedom?
These arguments will be avoided as long
as the individual is allowed to make his or
her health care decisions in line with his or
her religious beliefs. And while that can be
accomplished within the parameters of the
Affordable Care Act, recognizing and ap-
preciating the uneasiness of Catholics,
President Obama has taken another step:
Now there will be a way outside the em-
ployers plan for the insured to obtain
contraception should they so desire.

Despite mild weather,
flu season still a threat
M
any people equate winter weather
with influenza, commonly known as
the flu. Its important to know that the
flu isnt caused by cold weather, but is in
fact caused by a virus.
Cold temperatures and low humidity
serve to keep the flu virus stable and in the
air longer. Even though this winter has
been fairly mild in the mid-Atlantic region,
the dangerous threat of the flu still exists.
If you havent done so already, go out
today and get a flu shot, particularly if you
are among the people at high risk for de-
veloping flu-related complications: chil-
dren younger than 5, adults 65 and older,
pregnant women and people with asthma,
chronic lung disease, weakened immune
systems and other conditions.
Unfortunately for many people, getting
the flu is more than just feeling miserable
for a week or two. It can be a life-threat-
ening illness. Seek emergency medical
attention, if in addition to typical cold
symptoms, you experience difficulty
breathing or shortness of breath, purple or
blue discoloration of the lips, pain or pres-
sure in the chest or abdomen, or sudden
dizziness.
For a complete list of flu symptoms and
more, visit www.flu.gov.

Writer would welcome
welfare program changes
I
would like to point out how unfair it is
that so many of my tax dollars go to
support welfare.
Granted, there are people who do need
the help, but so many abuse the system.
I think if you receive any kind of govern-
ment assistance, you should be subject to
mandatory drug testing; and if youre not
disabled you should be made to get a job
or volunteer.
I work, and tax dollars come out of my
paycheck for others to have medical cov-
erage when I dont have it. I pay more than
a hundred dollars a week for pre-school
because Im right above the guidelines,
while others go for free. I pay for food
while others have brand-name stuff over-
flowing their carts. And I pay $50 a month
so I can have a cell phone while others get
one for free, which theyre supposed to use
only for emergencies.
The law should be changed. Then may-
be people would get out and work instead
of relying on hardworking Americans.
Keep on working millions on welfare
need your money!

If the news is so good,
why is Pa. economy bad?
A
m I missing something? It seems that
about once or twice a week there are
letters to the editor touting the ad-
vantages of the natural gas drilling indus-
try in Pennsylvania.
On Feb. 10, I read a letter from a Mr.
Don Jones of Scott Township who states
that the industry has paid around a billion
dollars in tax revenue and invested $400
million in roads and infrastructure. Other
letters have extolled the number of jobs
that have been and will be created.
So with all the good news, why has Gov.
Tom Corbett had to make severe cuts to
the most basic programs in social services,
education and even assistance to our se-
nior citizens? Wasnt the increased revenue
from Marcellus Shale drilling supposed to
save our state economy?
Wasnt the revenue from the casinos
supposed to reduce our property and
school taxes?
Wasnt the lottery supposed to ensure a
safety net for senior citizens on limited
incomes?
It seems to me that most of our repre-
sentatives in Harrisburg and Washington
are nothing more than taxpayer-funded
lobbyists who are not the least bit interest-
ed in serving the public good. But, then
again, maybe Im missing something.

HE DAY AFTER the
Greek Parliament ap-
proved another round
of deep spending cuts
in the face of violent protests,
President Obama released a
budget proposal for the com-
ing fiscal year that offers no re-
al solutiontotheUnitedStates
long-term fiscal problems.
This country is hardly
Greece, but Washingtons cur-
rent policies put it on a path to
accumulate far too much debt.
Withthe U.S. economyimprov-
ing, its past time for the admin-
istration to lay out a credible
plan for bringing the deficit
and debt under control. Sadly,
Obamas budget proposal
shows that hed rather wait un-
til after the election to have
that reckoning.
Theres little chance this
Congress will agreetomany, or
even any, of Obamas suggesti-
ons. Tax increases seempartic-
ularly unlikely.
But even if lawmakers were
to adopt all of Obamas deficit-
cutting measures, they
wouldnt go far enough to set
the budget on a path toward
balance. Obamas proposals
wouldstopthe debt fromgrow-
ing faster than the economy
eventually, but inexorably ris-
ing health care costs would
make the respite temporary.
All told, his proposal comes
up about $2 trillion short of the
savings his own deficit-reduc-
tion commission called for
over 10 years. The economy
might not be ready yet for a
stiff dose of austerity, but the
government needs a better
plan for putting its fiscal house
in order than Obama offered
Monday.

OTHER OPINION: U.S. DEFICIT
Obama debt plan
not tough enough
G
OV. TOM Corbetts
2012-13 budget is a
lean plan he said re-
flects the economic
reality we find ourselves in
tough.
While holding the line on
spending, the budget doesnt
raisetaxes afeat thegovernor
likes to highlight.
In unveiling the plan last
week, Corbett said,
We cant ask people
to travel the road to
recovery and then
turn around and add
to the burden they
must carry along the
way.
Unfortunately,
thats just what the
Republican governor
is doing, whether he
wants to acknowl-
edge it our not.
The budget keeps funding
levels for our struggling school
districts, which will have to
raise taxes or gut programs to
deal with rising costs. It cuts
millions from higher educa-
tion, forcing families to pay
higher tuition.
It cuts millions more from
social welfare programs, which
inevitably will be made up at
the county level.
Corbett said property tax re-
form will prevent cost reduc-
tions at the state level from re-
sultinginnewtaxes at the local
level.
Really? Property tax reform?
We must have missed that.
Even members of Corbetts
own party arent buying his ar-
gument.
You cant just keep giving it
back to us and saying, Im the
governor andI promisednot to
raise taxes, putting (the onus)
back on every other elected of-
ficial and taking it away from
you, said York County Com-
missioner Steve Chronister.
The governors austerity
measures might sit a little bet-
ter with Chronister and the
rest of us if Cor-
bett werent at the
same time so gen-
erous toward busi-
nesses.
We certainly
dont have a prob-
lem with job cre-
ators; we just
wish they were
creating more of
them given the
breaks our gover-
nor is throwing
their way. Corbett was visiting
a York County company Mon-
day, touting his plan to further
cut corporate taxes.
The same day, Corbett also
signed off on a severance fee
not a tax, mind you for nat-
ural gas drillers inthe states lu-
crative Marcellus Shale region.
While its something, the fee is
a weak substitute to the taxes
most other large gas-produc-
ing states require.
Its interesting to note the
governor signedthebill behind
closed doors, in the privacy of
his own office. Maybe he
couldnt look us in the eye
when he did it.
We wouldnt blame him.

was filled with plastic bags stuff-
ed with toys and food and other
items for families in need.
I was there at the kettle,
Kasper said, but it was the do-
nors who provided the funds.
Zebra Communications, the
Wilkes University on-campus
public relations company, was
the top-ranked group, raising
$2,368. The awards were pre-
sented at the Salvation Armys
annual Christmas Volunteer Ap-
preciation Luncheon at the
groupss headquarters. About 75
people attended.
Standing in front of a Salva-
tion Army red kettle and a sign
that read Doing the most
good, Kasper talked about his
commitment to the charity.
The Salvation Army does a
terrific job, Kasper said. They
help people who really need
help.
Kasper, a retired computer
programmer whoworkedfor the
state of New York, is a graduate
of Meyers High School and
Wilkes College.
He said he supports the Salva-
tion Army because most of the
money raised by the organiza-
tiongoes directly tohelpingpeo-
ple. He said he wears the suit to
ring the bell to let people know
he takes his volunteering seri-
ously.
I try to catch their eye, he
said. I say hello to everyone. I
like to thank children especially
for helping those that are less
fortunate than them.
Kasper said ringing the bell
makes him feel good as well.
I think all bell ringers feel
that way, he said.
Capt. Patty Richwine, of the
SalvationArmy andHerbChip
Godfrey, kettle drive chairman,
said because of donors and vol-
unteers:
1,043 families received food
vouchers up from 978 in 2010,
865 in 2009, 750 in 2008 and 650
in2007for their Christmas din-
ner;
1,836 children received
Christmas gifts;
Atotal of 3,793 people were
served.
Volunteers gave more than
7,000 hours from Nov. 12 until
Christmas Eve.
It was a fast-paced three
months leading up to the holi-
days, Richwine said. The ket-
tle drive is a huge undertaking.
It was an incredible effort.
West Side sites lost
Richwine said the kettle drive
goal was surpassed despite los-
ing two key locations Kmart
and Redners in the Mark Plaza
Shopping Center in Edwards-
ville. The Salvation Army col-
lected more than $28,000 at
those two locations in 2010.
We were concernedwe might
not make our goal, Richwine
said.
So the effort was ramped up.
Richwine said new locations
were added and bell ringers
ding-a-lings as George Tensa
of Plymouth calls himself and
his co-volunteers were at the
kettles at midnight on Black Fri-
day and most of Christmas Eve.
Credit card machines were
used for the first time and dia-
mond earrings were found in a
kettle to help raise the total.
We pushed a little harder this
year and it paid off, Richwine
said. I hope to see you all again
next year.
The award given to Zebra
Communications was special to
Godfrey. The award, which will
be given out annually and kept
by the winner for a year, has a
large bell on a wooden base. The
bell belongedto Godfreys father
who chaired the campaign for
more than 40 years.
SarahMitrotz, a 21-year-oldju-
nior at Wilkes, and Faith Lane,
31, asenior communications ma-
jor, acceptedthe awardonbehalf
of Zebra Communications.
The Salvation Army helps so
many people, Mitrotz said.
And we have raised awareness
on our campus and many stu-
dents are volunteering or donat-
ing.
Special meaning
The mission of the Salvation
Army has special meaning to
Lane. Shes a single mother of
five and was homeless for a
while.

al goal is to do whatever I can to

Area seniors are being offered
free help in applying for the state
Property Tax/Rent Program.
State Senator John Yudichak,
D-Plymouth Township, said rep-
resentatives from his office will
visit local senior centers and
apartment buildings
The program helps residents
65 and older, widows and widow-
ers age 50 and older and people
with disabilities age18 and older,
pay rent or property taxes.
A program expansion in-
creased the income limit from
$15,000 to $35,000 (which ex-
cludes half of Social Security in-
come) for homeowners and rais-
es the maximum rebate for both
homeowners and renters from
$500 to $650. The income limit
for renters is $15,000.
The deadline to apply for re-
bates on rent and property taxes
paid in 2011 is June 30. But Yud-
ichak spokesman Mark Davis
said tax documents such as So-
cial Security and pension state-
ments for 2011 income are being
mailed now, and many seniors
like to file their applications early
so that they receive their rebates
faster.
The first round of rebates is is-
sued in early July, Davis said.
Anyone who received a rebate
last year should have received by
now either a 2011 application
form or a letter from the depart-
ment reminding them to apply
for a 2011 rebate.
It costs nothing to apply for a
rebate.
Application forms and assist-
ance are available from Depart-
ment of Revenue district offices,
local Area Agency on Aging offic-
es, online at www.revenue.state-
.pa.us or by calling 1-888-222-
9190.
First time filers will need a
copy of their birth certificate for
proof of age. All applicants will
need to provide proof of all yearly
income (W-2s, 1099s) and a re-
ceipt showing their real estate
taxes are paid. Renters will need
their rent receipts. Social Securi-
ty recipients need the form SSA
1099R showing their yearly in-
come. SSI recipients needa print-
out showing their yearly income.
Low-income seniors and peo-
ple with disabilities who live in
jurisdictions with high tax rates
can qualify for supplemental
property tax rebates of up to
$975.

The new goal for completing
the search is May.
We think we can get this
done in 90 days, Schintz said.
Schintz saidthe candidate the
chambers search and interview
committees unanimously
thought was the best fit called a
week ago to say he had been of-
fered a contract extension at his
current workplace and was giv-
en additional responsibilities
that were near and dear to his
heart. Schintz declined to
name himbut said he worked in
an economic development ca-
pacity in metropolitan New
York.
Another finalist, a woman
from California whose name al-
so was withheld, visited in early
January to interview in person.
While the search committee
thought she was an excellent
candidate with a good back-
ground, Schintz said she will
not be offered the position.
We think shes talented, but
shes not the right fit for us,
Schintz said Wednesday, declin-
ing to comment further.
So the board has decided to
authorize advertising the posi-
tion again this week with the
hope a new pool of candidates
will apply.
Austin Burke, the head of the
Greater Scranton Chamber of
Commerce, saidhe understands
why the board in Wilkes-Barre
wouldnt hire someone just to
fill the open position. If they
werent happywiththem Burke
said, then theres no reason to
hire one and hope for the best.
The organization has operat-
ed without a leader this long
and a few more months wont
make much of a difference,
Burke said.
CHAMBER
he said.
County security guards pri-
marily man the entrances of
county buildings.
Gilligan was appointed sher-
iff in June 2010 to fill a vacancy
after Michael Savokinas re-
signed. The elected sheriff post
was abolished with the imple-
mentation of the new home
rule government on Jan. 2, but
Pribula opted to temporarily
keep Gilligan in the post.
Gilligan said he had hoped to
continue in the post, which
pays $36,562.
Ive enjoyed every minute of
it. I made it to the top, and now
I have to step down, he said.
Robshaw, of Wilkes-Barre,
was hired as security chief in
May and is paid $37,500.
He worked as a full-time po-
lice officer in Fairview Town-
ship and for the Luzerne Coun-
ty Drug Task Force from No-
vember 2000 through January
2010, in addition to employ-
ment as a police officer in other
municipalities, his resume
says.
Consolidation of the security
and sheriffs offices has been
discussedfor years but was nev-
er fully implemented.
Prior commissioners decid-
ed in August to start training
security workers to carry guns
and Mace, with the goal of reas-
signing security guards to the
sheriffs office.
Robshaw said 10 of the 25 se-
curity guards have been trained
to use pepper spray and hand-
cuff restraint to date. Most se-
curity workers are interested in
gun training, but the instruc-
tion was put on hold because of
the countys financial prob-
lems, he said.
Security guards who com-
plete training will be categor-
ized as Level 2 security depu-
ty sheriffs and receive pay in-
creases.
Guards who dont complete
training will be classified as un-
armed Level 1 and will be as-
signed to county property that
doesnt require high-level secu-
rity, such as the courthouse
parking garage, parking lots
and Moon Lake Park, officials
have said.
Robshaw said he supports a
consolidation to share staff and
improve communication about
security issues.
We all have a lot of the same
responsibilities providing pro-
tective services, he said.
Regarding layoffs, county
managers received an email
from the human resources de-
partment Wednesday request-
ing lists of employees who will
be furloughed due to budget
cuts as soon as possible.
Human resources will then
send each employee a letter in
compliance with their union
contract or the county person-
nel policy, the email says.

At Wilkes, $1.9 million was
raised through annual giving
last year. The decline from $4.7
million in 2010 was attributable
to a $3 million bequest made
that year, said Vicky Mayk, a
school spokeswoman.She noted
that not counting the large do-
nation, the school increased its
fundraising by $200,000 year-
over-year.
Wilkes experienced a signif-
icant increase in pledges, de-
ferred gifts and grant income in
2011, Mayk said
Michael MacDowell, the pres-
ident at Misericordia, said fun-
draising is headed in the right
direction but cautioned that
lofty levels from 2006 and 2007
might not be achieved for a
while.
Interms of giving, people are
muchmore leery thanthey were
before the recession, MacDow-
ell said.
Endowments are seeing
much more dramatic gains.
The endowment at Kings, as
of June 30, 2011, stood at $55.64
million. Thats still $5 million
less thanwhat theschool report-
ed on June 30, 2008, but $11mil-
lionmore thanit hadonJune 30,
2009and$7millionmore thanit
had June 30, 2010.
Wilkes endowment stood at
$38.1milliononJune30, up$5.5
million over the prior year. The
endowment at Misericordia
now stands at $24.8 million, up
22 percent, or $5.2 million over
the previous year.
Like most schools that saw
the struggling economy hurt fi-
nances, endowments at local
colleges declined from July 1,
2008 to June 30, 2009.
At Kings its endowment lost
$16.6 million or 27 percent in
that time span.
But for the first time since the
2006-07 fiscal years, the school
sawits first back-to-backendow-
ment increases.
The same was true for Wilkes
and Misericordia.
Misericordia saw one of the
smallest hits to its endowment
in the 2009 fiscal year, losing
just $1.34 million, or 13.3 per-
cent. Wilkes lost 24.2 percent,
or $9.3 million at that time.
But the next year those ac-
counts started to recover. And
theyve continued to do so.
Many schools with larger en-
dowments rely on those funds
for a variety of uses, from sala-
ries to capital improvements to
financial aid.
Theyre crucially important
for private schools that do not
receive government funding.
Most endowments are tiedtoin-
vestments ranging from stocks
to hedge funds. Some include
donations and gifts.
At local schools, where en-
dowments are not as large,
theyre used more as a supple-
mental fund to bolster scholar-
ships and financial aid.
MacDowell said endowment
success or failure is a matter of
management and luck, not nec-
essarily in that order.
We try to make our invest-
ments for the long term, so we
stay in the middle of the road,
MacDowell said. Every dime
we make goes to student aid.

He said it wasnt the first time
incidents occurred on the court
and said emotions ran high even
whenhis son, now14, playedona
fifth- and sixth-grade team two
years ago.
He said he brought the parents
together to discuss how their ac-
tions have an effect on the chil-
dren and to reviewthe mission of
the districts sports programs.
If youre one of those people
who think the kids arent watch-
ing every single thing you do,
youre wrong, he said.
McGovern urged parents to
better understand how their ac-
tions affect students and how
sports help build students char-
acter, but the outcomes of games
do not matter in the long run.
Though McGovern talked to
parents pleasantly and told sto-
ries about his family throughout
the meeting, he had a stern warn-
ing for parents at the end of the
night.
Never mistake my kindness
for softness, because next time
we have one of these incidents, it
will be the last, he said.
JohnBlaski, aRoss Elementary
third- and fourth-grade girls bas-
ketball coach, said he felt the pre-
sentation was necessary to re-
mind parents about conduct dur-
ing games.
Ive got five girls on the court,

Im out there, I try to be the mid-
dleman, hesaid. I trytocontain
myself because theyll follow my

hether or not she is on the slopes,
her spirit soars so high it seems
Stephanie Jallen climbed all the
way to the top of a mountain of never-
ending hope.
Good luck trying to bring her down.
This is a girl who turned a birth defect
into her inherent advantage.
Shes an eternal optimist who views
missed birthdays as added opportunity.
Shes a kid who seemed destined for a
life of struggle, but transformed fate into a
challenge to be conquered with triumph.
No wonder Jallen is on her way to skiing
in the Paralympics.
When I was younger, Jallen said, and I
said my goal was to go to the Paralympics,
I had no idea what it was actually all about.
Now its real.
Her goal is tangible because she always
believed in it. And herself.
That couldnt have been easy, since
Jallen was diagnosed shortly after birth
with Congenital Hemidysplasia with Ichith-
yosis and Limb Defects Syndrome, better
known as CHILD Syndrome. Her entire
left side is underdeveloped, leaving the
16-year-old daughter of Deb and Mike
Jallen without a full left leg, with a very
short arm that tapers down to one digit
and with painful skin rashes that still come
and go.
But she never went into a shell over it.
Even when her leg was amputated at
three months old, Deb Jallen said, and
she had this rash that most make most
want to scream in pain, there she is smiling
and gooing at me.
She was always a happy baby.
Happy birthday?
Save it.
The day she turned Sweet 16 Monday,
Jallen was far away from her Harding home
in Canada, preparing for the Alpine Skiing
NORAM Cup in Kimberly, B.C..
She was introduced to the sport in 2005,
at a Camelback Resort camp.
It was supposed to be a fun ski camp,
Deb Jallen said, a way to meet other am-
putees, children like her.
It turned into Stephanies passion.
Skiing gives me a reason and a purpose
to stay in shape, Jallen, an honor student
at Wyoming Area High School, said. It
helps me shape out my life for a healthier
living. Having the disability that I have
puts me in a situation where it is critical to
stay in shape, so I can do simple things like
walking and carrying things easily.
Skiing also gives me a place where I
belong and fit in with other great athletes.
There have been times in her life where
Jallen felt like the odd one out.
When she was younger, she knew she
was different, Deb Jallen said. Dont get
me wrong, she had her friends. (But) she
didnt fit in when it came to going to the
mall and going to the movies you know
how a group of kids always goes out? She
understood. She never complained about
it.
She knew her place.
It turned out, Stephanie Jallens place
was gliding down snow-covered hills on
skis.
Its also the most fun thing I have ever
done, Jallen exclaimed. I like the chal-
lenge, too.
She grew serious about the sport. She
started winning medals at tournaments.
She progressed to the point where the U.S.
Alpine Paralympic Ski team accepted Jal-
len as an official member in May.
Now she has her heart set on making the
2014 Paralympics in Sochi, Russia, and
nothings going to get in her way.
Because Stephanie Jallen never pitied
what she was missing. Shed much rather
blossom with what she has.

DAYTONABEACH, Fla. Over the
closingweeks of last season, Steve Add-

be Tony Stewarts crew chief in 2012.
Then Stewart won at Martinsville
and again at Texas to give him four
wins in eight races. The Sprint Cup
championship was firmly in his reach,
and it sure didnt seem like there were
any reasons for Stewart to make chang-
es to his organization.
Addington, laid back by nature,
watched and waited. But when Stewart
capped off his remarkable title run by
winning the season-finale at Home-
stead to snatch the championship away
from Carl Edwards, Addington finally
got nervous.
Atext message fromStewart calmed
him a bit.
Im laying in the bed ... sitting there
thinking, Whats this guy thinking?
They just won a championship. Are
they going to change their minds?
Addington recalled. Couldnt sleep
and then the phone blewup I got the
text of, No pressure, bud.
Andsothe planwas set inplace: Add-

WILKES-BARRETWP. It wasnt the
Norfolk Admirals powerful offense that
the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins
shouldve been worried about during
Wednesdays contest.
Turns out, it was Norfolks defense,
particularly their penalty kill, that gave
the Penguins fits in a 4-0 loss.
It was the third time the Penguins
have been shutout this season. The last
shutout occurred on Dec. 27 when the
Penguins were blanked 6-0 by another
East Division rival, the Hershey Bears.
The loss drops the Penguins into a tie
with Norfolk for the East Division lead,
while Hershey remains one point be-
hind. The Penguins have nowlost two in
a row, one game each to Hershey and
Norfolk.
Despite a scoreless first period, the
Penguins set the tone when Robert Bor-
tuzzo and Geoff Walker both dropped
the gloves inthe early stages of the open-
ing frame.
We did the right things and there
wasnt any quit in our game tonight,
said center Bryan Lerg, who had a cru-
cial goal disallowed in the second peri-
od.
Less than a minute into the second pe-
riod, things were looking up for the Pen-
guins when they went on the power play
with the game still scoreless.
But it was the Admirals penalty kill

HARRISBURG Former Penn State
football coach Joe Paterno was remem-
beredat a memorial Mass onWednesday
as aninspirational leader, devotedfamily
man and someone who tried to live ac-
cording to the tenets of his religion.
He was not afraid to be the fully alive
human being that God called himto be,
said Bishop Joseph McFadden, during
the 90-minute ceremony at the Cathe-
dral Parish of St. Patrick in downtown
Harrisburg.
Paternos sonScott recalledhowhis fa-
ther valued a round, wooden dining
room table, describing it as a metaphor
for his inclusive approach to life.
That table was to my father what the
Academy was to Plato, Scott Paterno
said.

THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2012 PAGE 3B
S P O R T S
Kirby Szalkowski proved ve-
ry capable of moving around
on the field hockey pitch dur-
ing the fall, playing nearly ev-
ery position on the field during
her senior season.
Now, shes moving to an en-
tirely new pitch, having recent-
ly signed a letter of intent to
play field hockey for the de-
fending Patriot League cham-
pions, Lafayette.
Szalkowski, a second-team
all-state selection this season,
is part of a six-player recruiting
class for Leopards head coach
Andrew Griffiths.
Our incoming class is
strong, talented, but also well-
balanced, Griffiths said to go-
leopards.com. There are
some versatile players who can
play different positions and
will fit well into our system. I
certainly think we will have
more depth at different posi-
tions on our squad next sea-
son.
Its a talented group. We
have some speed and some
skill in different positions.
Thats a perfect description
of Szalkowskis game. Dallas
coach Kylie Rosengrant knew
she had one of the areas top
talents on her team, and used
Szalkowski in a variety of spots
on the field as games and sit-
uations dictated.
During high school, I got
moved around quite a bit,
Szalkowski said. I just got
done whatever the team need-
ed from me.
The daughter of Ralph and
Sandra Szalkowski, Kirby
found the Easton school to be
the right fit for her education
and her playing career. She is
planning to major in a curricu-
lum with a biology base. She
will also play her home games
just an hour or so away from
her home.
I was drawn to Lafayette as
soon as I stepped on campus,
Szalkowski said. I loved it. It
was the perfect mix of old and
new.
Dallas had a successful sea-
son with Szalkowski as a cap-
tain. The Mountaineers were
11-6, falling in the District 2
semifinals to eventual state
champion Wyoming Seminary.
And Szalkowski finished
among the districts leaders
with 10 assists.
Playing with my team, they
were all so great, Szalkowski
said. To go out with a bang
like we did, its something Ill
always remember.
Szalkowski hopes to follow
in the footsteps of another Dal-
las graduate, as Paige Selenski
prepares to represent the Unit-
ed States at the London Olym-
pics. Szalkowski continues

Patriots pin down win over rivals
The Times Leader staff
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. Tom
Creans first 20-win season at
Indiana came with some fitting
benchmarks.
Afreshman credited with turn-
ing the programaround led the
way again. An injured senior who
survived a six-win season closed
it out. And, of course, the Hoo-
siers had to scrap for another 40
minutes to pull off the win.
Cody Zeller, the freshman,
finished with 23 points and Ver-
dell Jones scored all six of his
points in the final 4:03, leading
No. 18 Indiana past Northwestern
71-66 for a milestone victory that
had Creans fingerprints all over
it.
Tonight was about us some-
howfinding a way to get our 20th
win, Crean said. We really want-
ed to do that at home because of
all weve been through and all our
fans have been through. Its not
something that you look at and
say that automatically gives you
anything. Imreally glad with the
way we earned it tonight with
some really good defensive
stops.
The Hoosiers (20-6, 8-6 Big
Ten) understand just howremark-
able this turnaround has been.
North Carolina 73, Miami 64
CORAL GABLES, Fla. Har-
rison Barnes scored 23 points and
No. 8 North Carolina rallied from
an eight-point deficit in the sec-
ond half and beat Miami.
The Tar Heels, who came in
leading the nation with 83.5
points per game, shot only 38
percent and went 5 for 18 from
3-point range. But they forced
turnovers on four consecutive
possessions in the second half to
get back in the game, and held
Miami without a point for nearly
five minutes down the stretch.
Murray St. 75,
SE Missouri St. 66
CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo.
Donte Poole hit four 3-pointers
and scored 25 points as Murray
State, despite a poor game from
leading scorer Isaiah Canaan,
clinched its third straight Ohio
Valley Conference with a victory
over Southeast Missouri State.
Ivan Aska had14 points and
nine rebounds for the Racers
(25-1, 13-1), who have won two
straight since getting upset at
home by Tennessee State last
week to end a 23-0 start.
Notre Dame 71, Rutgers 53
SOUTHBEND, Ind. Jack
Cooley scored17 of his 22 points
in the second half to lead Notre
Dame over Rutgers.
Cooley also had18 rebounds for
the Fighting Irish (18-8, 9-3 Big
East), who won their seventh
straight game. Jerian Grant added
11points, Eric Atkins had10
points and eight assists, and Pat
Connaughton also scored10.
Notre Dames last loss came at
Rutgers on Jan. 16.
Dane Miller scored11points as
the Scarlet Knights (12-14, 4-8)
committed 26 fouls, allowing
Notre Dame to pour in 24 points
fromthe line. Rutgers has lost
four in a row.

S P O R T S
defending NASCAR champion.
Darian Grubb, despite guiding
Stewart tofive wins inthe final 10
races of the season, was out of a
job, and fans couldnt understand
why Stewart would make such
wholesale changes. Stewart also
successfully recruited Greg Zipa-
delli, his former longtime crew
chief at Joe Gibbs Racing, to
leave that team and join SHR as
competition director.
Now, as the defending cham-
pion heads this week to Daytona
International Speedway for the
start of the 2012 season, hes got
to prove he didnt make a mistake
in overhauling his organization.
IntrueStewart form, though, hes
scoffing at the notion hes under
any pressure.
Youre asking the wrong guy,
he said before motioning toward
Addington. Youneedtoaskhim.
I feel just fine.
Then Stewart continued, ex-
plaining hes known Addington
for years both were at Joe
Gibbs Racing together and
their personalities fit.
Were just low key, down-to-
earth racers and hardcore racers
that want to race. That is the atti-
tude that Steve has coming in
here, Stewart said. Im not put-
ting any pressure on him. Im
looking forward to going out and
racing again.
The hot seat
But Addington knows that if
Stewart doesnt successfully de-
fendhis title, the finger likely will
be pointed at him. He has never
won a title at a NASCARs nation-
al level, despite taking Kyle
Busch as the top seed in the
Chase for the Sprint Cup cham-
pionship.
He believes he and Stewart can
do it.
I know a lot of people are go-
ing to look at it like, Youre the
only thing thats changed on that
race team. Thats true, Adding-
ton said. I feel good about it. Im
confident enough in my position
and experience in races to give
him what he needs in a race car.
The competition will be tight
this year, especially at JGR,
where Grubb has landed.
When Stewart let Grubb go af-
ter their title run, Grubb had his
pick of jobs and settled on the
crew chief position for Denny
Hamlin, whos comingoff a disap-
pointingseasonthat sawthedriv-
er fall considerable fromhis near-
championship run in 2010.
Grubb insists theres no driv-
ing desire to one-up Stewart, but
hes motivated to take Hamlin to
his first championship.
No matter what happens
when you are in a long-term rela-
tionship you can ask your hus-
band or your wife the commu-
nication level is what makes ev-
erything work, Grubb said of his
tenure with Stewart. The more
you get stagnant, the more you
realize what you should have
done in the past. Now were both
really looking forward with our
eyes wide open.
JGR also is looking for a re-
bound from Kyle Busch, who
again faltered after being the top
seed in the Chase. He was way
out of title contentionby the time
he lost his temper in the Truck
Series race at Texas and inten-
tionally wrecked another driver,
prompting NASCAR to suspend
him for the rest of the weekend.
It was a humbling moment for
Busch, who had to fight hard to
keep his sponsors. Now hes hop-
ing to finally put together a com-
plete season and win the Cup
championship that has eluded
him.
At the other end of the garage
is his older brother, Kurt, who
finds himself on a yearlong job
audition after splitting with
Penske Racing at the end of a tu-
multuous 2011 season. Top-level
jobs were scarce when he hit the
market inearlyDecember, andhe
landed with fledgling Phoenix
Racinginaone-year deal. Thecar
comes with Hendrick Motor-
sports horsepower, though, and
Busch could surprise many and
be a contender in the Feb. 26 sea-
son-opening Daytona 500.
More important, though, is
proving to sponsors and car own-
ers that hes got his act together
and is ready to return to a top
team in 2013.
Seeking titles
Edwards, who lost the cham-
pionship last season on a tie-
breaker to Stewart, will try to
come back from that disappoint-
ment. And Jimmie Johnson, who
had his five-year run snapped last
season, wants very much to get
back in the mix after a career-
worst sixthinthe final Cupstand-
ings.
Kevin Harvick has finished
third in points the last two sea-
sons. Thanks to personnel moves
at Richard Childress Racing, hes
nowpairedwithcrewchief Shane
Rogers the switch he hopes
can help him move up in the
standings.
RCR is back down to three
teams Harvick, Jeff Burton
and Paul Menard as Clint Bo-
wyer moved on at the end of the
season to Michael Waltrip Rac-
ing. Many believe hell be the
breakout driver MWR has long
been looking for. Hes teamed
with Martin Truex Jr. and Mark
Martin, who will scale back his
schedule and share his car at
times with team co-owner Wal-
trip.
AJ Allmendinger is in the best
ride of his life now that hes at
Penske Racingas Kurt Buschs re-
placement. Coming off a win in
last months prestigious Rolex 24
Hours at Daytona sports car race,
Allmendinger goes into the sea-
son with his confidence soaring.
Brad Keselowski, his teammate,
is looking to improve on last
years three-win breakthrough
season.
Roush Fenway Racing is also
down to three cars as sponsor-
ship woes forced the team to
close down David Ragans Cup
ride, and the No. 17 of Matt Ken-
seth isnt fully funded. But the or-
ganization, which celebrated a
Nationwide championship last
season with Ricky Stenhouse Jr.,
believes Edwards, Kenseth and
Greg Biffle will be contenders all
year.
Then theres Danica Patrick,
who is officially a full-time NAS-
CAR driver. After two years of
dabbling in stock cars while she
finished her IndyCar Series ca-
reer, Patrick has made the jump
to NASCAR. Shell run the full
Nationwide schedule for JR Mo-
torsports and10races for Stewart
in the Cup Series.
Only nine of her Cup races
have been announced, and the
Daytona 500 will be her first next
weekend. Shes also going to run
the Coca-Cola 600 in May, which
makes her unavailable for the In-
dianapolis 500for thefirst timein
her career.
Patrick is trying to be reason-
able with her expectations, but
all eyes will be on her as shes ex-
pected to give NASCAR a mas-
sive marketing boost.
She certainly turned some
heads last monthwhenshe spoke
confidently of the Daytona 500.
I thinkthere is a real chance, if
luck falls our way, to perhaps
win, she said. I think thats a re-
al chance. Should that happen,
2012 is guaranteed to be a fabu-
lous season for NASCAR.

LAS VEGAS The question
has puzzled doctors since the
days Joe Louis ruled the heavy-
weight division and boxing rival-
edbaseball as the biggest sport in
the nation:
Why do some fighters suffer
brain damage from punches tak-
en in the ring while others get hit
in the head for years and show
few effects?
A study that has applications
outside of boxing could provide
at least a partial answer to that
one and this, too: Why do some
football players suffer concus-
sions while others dont?
Researchers say their intent
isnt to end contact sports, but to
find ways to make them safer.
You cant stop these sports,
andthelast thingwewant todois
stop these sports, said Dr. Char-
les Bernick, the chief investigator
for the project. But we want to
be able to protect athletes from
long-term brain issues.
Some 148 current boxers and
mixed martial arts fighters have
already taken their first set of
tests for the study, funded mostly
by Las Vegas hotel magnate Kirk
Kerkorian and conducted at the
Cleveland Clinics new Lou Ruvo
Center for Brain Health in down-
town Las Vegas. Researchers
hope to eventually enroll more
than 600 fighters in what is
hoped to be at least a four-year
study of their brains.
The motive for most of the
fighters is simple they save
$800 to $1,000 for a baseline MRI
they would need anyway to get a
state license to box or participate
in professional MMA. For some,
though, it is more about peace of
mind than it is about the money.
Its my profession and I want
to pursue a long, healthy life,
said Diego Magdaleno, an unde-
feated super featherweight cur-
rently ranked No. 2 by the World
Boxing Association. If there is
anything that will help me keep
from going into the deep end
with any kind of severe injury Im
all for it.
That the study the first big
project for the new center is
based in Las Vegas is fitting be-
causethecityis recognizedas the
boxing capital of the world and is
also the headquarters of the Ulti-
mate Fighting Championship. A
gala celebrating Muhammad
Alis 70thbirthday onSaturday at
the MGM Grand site of most
of boxings major fights during
the past two decades is a fun-
draiser for the center.
Ali suffers from Parkinsons
disease, a degenerative braincon-
dition that some doctors say can
be brought on by punches to the
head. Alis own neurologist told
The AssociatedPress last month,
however, that he didnt believe
the former heavyweight greats
condition was caused by head
blows.
Bernick said much still isnt
known about why some fighters
develop Alzheimers or dementia
pugilistica also known as
punch drunk syndrome while
others seem to suffer little from
repeated hits to the head. The
study, he said, could lead to bet-
ter ways to predict whichfighters
are more at risk for brain damage
later in their lives.
As far back as 1928, doctors
were studying the causes of brain
damage in boxing. That year, Dr.
Harrison S. Martland told the
New York Pathological Society
about his observations of fight-
ers:
Fighters in whom the early
symptoms are well recognized
are saidby the fans tobe cuckoo,
goofy, cutting paper dolls, or
slug nutty, Martland said.
Punch drunk most often affects
fighters of the slugging type, who
are usually poor boxers and who
take considerable head puni-
shment, seeking only to land a
knockout blow. It is alsocommon
in second rate fighters used for
training purposes, who may be
knocked down several times a
day.
Still, there are large numbers of
fighters who have never suffered
anynoticeable braindamage, and
doctors have yet to pinpoint why
these athletes dont seemtobe af-
fected by repeated blows to the
head.

Research is being done to

Catholic church. He was deter-
mined at every turn, in every mo-
ment, to ensure that he made an
impact.
Among the attendees was Gov.
Tom Corbett, who did not speak
at the memorial but told report-
ers afterward he wanted to be
there because he missed the Jan.
25 funeral and memorial services
in State College, where thou-
sands of mourners packed the
basketball arena following the
former coachs burial.
This is my way of honoring
Joe, Corbett said. Im very glad
I was able to be here.
Joe Paterno spent 46 seasons
leading the Penn State program,
and remains the winningest
coach in major college football.
He was fired by the Board of
Trustees in November, shortly af-
ter he declared he would retire at
the end of the season. He said he
was absolutely devastated by
the abuse case.

The Knicks (15-15) led this one
almost throughout, evening their
record for the first time since
they were 6-6 after a loss to Okla-
homa City on Jan. 14. They host
hapless New Orleans on Friday,
hoping All-Star forward Carmelo
Anthony will return from a
strained right groin.
The way Lins Knicks are play-
ing, they can wait for him.
The reigning Eastern Confer-
ence player of the week played 26
minutes, grabbing a seat next to
Anthony and sharing a few
laughs with the star forward
after checkingout for goodlate in
the third quarter.
Tyreke Evans scored 19 points
for the Kings, who had won four
in a row in New York. DeMarcus
Cousins added15 but shot only 7
of 18 and grabbed just four re-
bounds.
Already the NBAs biggest sto-
ry, Linsanityhadpeakedabout 24
hours earlier with the former
Harvard guards winner in Toron-
to. The shot was replayed on the
overhead video board, triggering
a huge ovation as if it had just
happened live.
But Lin would have few other
scoring highlights, taking only
six shots.
Fans, quite a few wearing Lins
jerseys or holding masks of his
face, lovedit anyway. Theychant-
ed MVP! MVP! as he was inter-
viewed on the court after the
game and held up signs such as
Lin Your Face, Linderella, and
of course Marry Me Jere-
my.
Lin played last season in Gold-
en State for Kings coach Keith
Smart, who praised Lins work
ethic and attitude, but never
imagined the perfect storm
that would lead to these results.

no one could have predicted this

FORT WORTH, Texas Au-
thorities arrested 17 students at
Texas Christian University on
Wednesday as part of a six-month
drug sting, an especially embar-
rassing blow to the school be-
cause it included four members
of the high-profile football team.
Arrest warrants painted a star-
tling picture of the HornedFrogs,
with a handful of players who al-
legedly arranged marijuana sales
after class or around practice and
who told police that most of the
team had failed a surprise drug
test just two weeks ago.
According to police, players
sold undercover officers marijua-
na during the season and as re-
cently as last week.
There are days people want to
be a head football coach, but to-
day is not one of those days,
coach Gary Patterson said in a
prepared statement. As I heard
the news this morning, I was first
shocked, then hurt and now Im
mad.
The 17 people arrested were
caught making hand-to-hand
sales of marijuana, cocaine, ec-
stasy and prescription drugs to
undercover officers, police said.
They saidthe bust followedanin-
vestigation prompted by com-
plaints from students, parents
and others.
TCU has an enrollment of
about 9,500 students, but the ath-
lete arrests drewthe most scruti-
ny. The bust came just one day af-
ter a thrilling overtime victory by
the mens basketball team over a
rankedopponent andless than24
hours after TCUreleased its foot-
ball schedule for next season, its
first in the Big 12 Conference.
Three prominent defensive
players on the team were arrest-
ed: linebacker Tanner Brock, the
leading tackler two seasons ago,
defensive tackle D.J. Yendrey and
cornerback Devin Johnson. The
other player is offensive lineman
Ty Horn.
While school Chancellor Vic-
tor Boschini said he didnt think
TCU had a football problem,
the arrest affidavits raise the pos-
sibility that other players were in-
volved.
In November, a Fort Worth po-
lice officer was informed that
Horn was selling marijuana to
college students and football
players at Texas Christian. The
officer allegedly bought marijua-
na that day, Nov. 3, two days be-
fore a road game at Wyoming,
from both Horn and Yendrey.
Officers during the next sever-
al months allegedly set up drug
deals with the players outside
restaurants, a grocery store and
other areas around campus. On
Jan. 19, Brock allegedly sold an
officer $200 worth of marijuana
after Yendrey ran out.
After a short conversation
about the marijuana, Brock and I
exchanged phone numbers, tell-
ing me to come to him from now
on instead of (Yendrey), accord-
ing to the affidavits.
Horn and Johnson scoffed at
the Feb. 1teamdrug test ordered
by Patterson, police said. Brock
allegedly told an undercover offi-
cer that he failedthe surprise test
for sure, but that it wouldnt be
a problem because there would
be about 60 people screwed.
Horn had looked through the
football roster and said there
were only 20 people that would
pass the test on the team, Brock
said, according to the warrant.
And six days after the test,
Johnson allegedly sold an officer
$300 worth of marijuana. Asked
about the test, he said: What can
they do, 82 people failed it.
TCU released a statement late
Wednesday afternoon that said
the school tests its athletes for
drug use on a regular basis.

Four TCU players nabbed in drug bust

that benefitted when Trevor
Smith registered a shorthanded
tally, followedby a Norfolk penal-
ty shot a minute later when Car-
ter Ashton was hooked from be-
hind by Bortuzzo during a short-
handed breakaway.
Scott Munroe stopped Ash-
tons wrist shot on the attempt,
andthe Penguins remaineddown
by one.
But a power play that carried
so much hope evaporated into
one resulting in a shorthanded
goal against along with a Norfolk
penalty shot.
You cant say you had a good
night on the power play when
you give up a goal against and a
penalty shot, said head coach
John Hynes. When we got down
by one, that was the changing
play in the game. We just werent
able to respond to that goal
against the rest of the game.
Norfolk extended their lead at
the end of the period when Mun-
roe couldnt cover a rebound, al-
lowing Ondrej Palat to put the
puck home for a 2-0 lead.
Before that, the Penguins hada
chance to even things up when
Lerg had a shot in close that he
thought crossed the goal line but
was waved off.
I threw it on net, it hit the
crossbar and bounced down, just
over the line, Lerg said. The
goal judge said he couldnt see it,
the ref was in the way. Im not
sure I agree with the call.
When its 1-0 and you get a
goal disallowed, thats a total
game changer.
Norfolk goaltender Dustin To-
karski was strong in net all night,
stopping all 16 shots he faced af-
ter the first two periods.
Still, the Penguins werent go-
ing to call it quits.
We were right there, Lerg
said. Weve been down worse
than that at home and came
back.
The bitterness between the
twoteams boiledover inthethird
period when Bortuzzo clipped
Cory Conacher as he tried to
speed around him, sending the
Norfolk rookie sprawling
through the air. Twenty seconds
later, Joey Mormina leveledPalat
as he crossed the blue line, spark-
ing a scrum in the Penguins end.
Norfolk connected two more
times in the third period to put
the game out of reach.
The Penguins did get another
crack at the power play in the
third period, but were blanked
once again to go 0-for-6 on the
night. In the last four games
against the Admirals, the Pen-
guins power play is 1-for-19.
Lerg said losing two straight
games to division rivals was ve-
ryirritating, but he addedthings
werent as bad as the outcomes
would indicate.
You have to find a way to bury
one (on the power play), but we
had chances and gained momen-
tumat times, Lerg said. We did
the right things tonight and our
execution was good. I wouldnt
be pressing the panic button at
this point.

LONDONNowthat the Ital-
ian government has pulled the
plug at the last minute on Romes
Olympic bid, five remaining can-
didate cities must prove that they
have the financial and political
muscle to win the high-stakes
race for the 2020 Games.
Italian Premier Mario Montis
refusal to provide financial sup-
port for Romes bid Tuesday end-
ed the Eternal Citys hopes of
bringingtheOlympicsbacktothe
capital for the first time since
1960.
Monti said it would be an irre-
sponsible use of taxpayers mon-
ey to fund the $12.5 billion Olym-
pic project. Rome was the first
city to declare its 2020 candidacy
a year ago but, without the neces-
sary financial guarantees, the ef-
fort came to a sudden halt a day
before the deadline for submis-
sion of bid files.
Among other things, the Inter-
national Olympic Committee re-
quires bid cities to provide guar-
antees that their governments
will cover any deficit.
We have to insist on these
guarantees,IOCexecutiveboard
member andfinance commission
chairman Richard Carrion said.
Obviously, for the remaining ci-
tiestheyhaveonelesscompetitor
toworryabout. Romewouldhave
been a formidable competitor.
Five cities are left in the run-
ning: Madrid, Tokyo, Istanbul,
Doha, and Baku, Azerbaijan.
Thefull IOCwill select thehost
cityinBuenosAiresinSeptember
2013.
It made fiscal and political
sense for Monti to say no to
Rome at a time of austerity and
spending cuts. Italy doesnt want
to go the way of Greece, which is
crippled by debts and looking for
a second bailout from Europe.
Some of Greeces problems have
beenblamedonoverspending for
the 2004 Athens Olympics.
The public sector budget for
this years London Olympics is
$14.6 billion, nearly three times
the figure estimated during the
bidding phase.
Economic issues will be scruti-
nized closely during the bid race.
Japans economy has also weak-
ened, Turkey has a growing econ-
omy, Qatar is rich from vast oil
and natural gas reserves, and the
formerSoviet republicof Azerbai-
jan also is flush with natural gas
revenues.
TheIstanbul bidwouldseemto
have the most going for it. The
cityis biddingfor afifthtimeafter
failed attempts for the Olympics
of 2000, 2004, 2008 and 2012.
The IOC often rewards cities
forpersistence, asshownlast year
by the decision to award the 2018
Winter Games to Pyeongchang
on the South Korean citys third
consecutive try.
The IOC has also displayed a
trend of going to new regions,
sending the winter games to Rus-
sia for the first time (Sochi in
2014) and giving South America
its first Olympics (Rio de Janeiro
in 2016).
Where else in the world can
you have the Olympic Games not
just in one city but on two conti-
nents? senior Istanbul bid offi-
cial Hasan Arat told the AP.

LOS ANGELES Luke Do-
nald was on the practice range at
Riviera before dawn Wednesday,
so dark that only temporary floo-
dlights allowedhimto see where
the ball was going.
It was a snapshot of the perks
that come withbeing No. 1inthe
world, and what got him there.
The best player gets his choice
of tee times for the pro-am, and
the early spots go first. Along
with being No. 1 in the world,
Donald sits atop both the PGA
Tour and European Tour money
lists, the first player ever to lead
the two biggest tours.
Donald is coming off a year he
wont ever forget, andit all began
at Riviera with a round he would
like to erase fromhis memory. In
his first event, he shot a 79 in the
second round to miss the cut.
Toward the end of his season,
he had won a career-best four
times, including the most excit-
ing finish this side of a major
when he birdied six straight
holes to start the back nine at
Disney and closed with a 64 for a
two-shot victory. It gave him the
double money title, and was
enough to make him a landslide
winner of PGATour player of the
year.
He leads a field at the North-
ern Trust Open that features
two-time winner Phil Mickelson,
coming off his six-shot come-
back to win last week at Pebble
Beach; a pair of Aussies in Jason
Day and Adam Scott, who are
playing the PGA Tour for the
first time this year; and Padraig
Harrington, whostartedtoshow
some long lost form at Pebble
Beach.

old stadium to announce a major
international event.
Executives of the Super Bowl-

who co-own the stadium, also
plan to attend.
WrestleMania will be held in
Miami in April. The event, which

reasons.
Comcast added 336,000 broadband

problems per 100 for cars and trucks
purchased in 2009.

proved 13 percent from 2011.
Kellogg swallows Pringles
Kellogg Co. on Thursday said it was
buying the Pringles chip brand from
Procter & Gamble in a deal valued at
$2.7 billion. The purchase makes Kel-
logg the No. 2 savory snack food com-
pany after PepsiCo Inc., which owns
Frito-Lay.
A similar deal with Diamond Foods
was derailed by accounting problems
and an executive shakeup at Diamond.
Kellogg stock added $2.57, or 5.1
percent, to $52.87, while Procter &
Gamble Co.s shares climbed 7 cents to
$64.55.
Builders more upbeat
U.S. homebuilders are growing more
optimistic about the housing market
and think home sales could pick up
sharply when the spring buying season
begins. The National Association of
Home Builders/Wells Fargo builder
sentiment index rose four points to 29
in February. Thats the highest level
since May 2007.
Still, any reading below 50 indicates
negative sentiment.

timesleader.com
In an age
when it
seems like a
new iPhone
is released
every six
months and
a new Android device every
six days, theres constant
pressure on businesses to
keep up.
An app you launched last
month might be rendered
out of date almost immedi-
ately by the latest, greatest
device.
In this kind of environ-
ment, only organizations that
can change with the times
have any hope of survival. A
six-month-old app is already
well overdue for an update,
and youre in trouble if you
havent redesigned your
website to keep up with the
latest standards and industry
trends within the past year.
When The Times Leader
launched its new iPad app
over a year ago, it attracted
some attention. Not because
of the app itself or what it
contained. At the time, only
one other newspaper in the
state had an iPad application.
We beat the large Philly and
Pittsburgh papers, which
spoke more about the state
of the industry than our own
capabilities.
That early app combined
features of a PDF reader with
extended capabilities. All
well and good, but it wasnt
as dynamic as it could have
been, and even though we
were ahead of other newspa-
pers, that just didnt cut it.
Tablet devices like the iPad
are designed to be dynamic,
to give the user an inter-
active experience. Showing
print newspaper pages is
fine, but not what anyone
would call interactive.
What hap-
pened if big
news came out
that day? The
same old con-
tent would still be in the app.
What about videos, and oth-
er dynamic features?
With that in mind, and
with a presence on the iPad
platform, we immediately
began to look down the road.
A few days ago, users of our
iPad app received an update
that captures the immediacy
of the 21st century news
cycle. You can view videos,
see the latest local and na-
tional news, and yes, still
read the print edition of the
paper. We also can add spe-
cial interactive features.
Similar efforts are under
way to bring every aspect of
our digital operations up to
state-of-the-art levels and
keep them there.

WASHINGTON Strong auto sales
and growing business investment in ma-
chinery and other equipment are keep-
ingfactories busyandhelpingtheecono-
my grow.
The Federal Reserve said Wednesday
that manufacturing production in-
creased 0.7 percent in January. And out-
put soared 1.5 percent in December, ac-
cording to an upward revision. That was
the biggest one-month gain since De-
cember 2006.
Overall industrial production, which
includes output by mines and utilities as
well as factories, was unchangedinJanu-
ary. Still, the flat reading was mostly be-
cause Americans used less energy to
heat their homes during an unseason-
ably warm winter.
Jonathan Basile, an economist at
Credit Suisse, said December and Janu-
ary marked the best two months of
growth for manufacturing since the
summer of 2009, when the recession
ended.
Basile also pointed to a regional sur-
vey conducted in February by the Feder-
al Reserve Bank of New York released
Wednesday, which showed factory activ-
ity in that region grew for the third
straight month. That suggests the
strong momentum in January carried
over into February.

Spenglers son, Gershom, who runs
the banquet facility, referred ques-
tions to his father.
It was a nice run; a lot of people got
married there, the elder Spengler
PLAINS TWP. The Waterfront
Banquet Facility will close at the end
of October tomakeroomfor amedical
provider that will move into the
space.
Waterfront complex owner Ross
Spengler said Wednesday the last
event at the banquet hall is Oct. 28,
and all events that are booked will be
honored in full. He estimated there
are 60 weddings booked there this
year.
Were closing because of a greater
opportunity for the space, said Spen-
gler, who declined to identify the new
tenant because of a confidentiality
agreement.
Theres nothing secretive about it.
Its a real estate opportunity with a
medical provider, he said.
Spengler said the 63,000-square-
foot building, which was built in 2001,
will remain home to the River Grille,
whose owner, Mark West, has a long-
term lease. The River Grille occupies
the first floor and decks of the build-
ing. The banquet facility is onthe low-
er level and leased offices occupy the
upper floors.
Spengler saidthere are ongoing re-
al estate moves within the complex,
which includes a 60,000-square-foot
building next door that he built in
2006 and that also houses office
space, but nothing anybody has to
said. Were very blessed. Its a great
location and God has been very good
to us.

writer, may be reached at 970-7311.
The Waterfront Banquet Facility in Plains Township will close at the end of

A weak storm
passing over the
area today will
bring mostly rain
along with light
winds.
Temperatures
will be just cold
enough for some
snow as well,
especially in the
higher eleva-
tions. The precip-
itation will be
ending early
tonight and rain-
fall totals will be
less than one-
half inch.
Snowfall accu-
mulation will be
an inch or less in
the mountains.
Temperatures
during the day
and through the
night tonight will
be above freez-
ing so roadways
will remain just
wet. Sunshine
returns Friday
and again on
Saturday, but on
Sunday, a south-
ern stormmay
come close
enough to
spread snow into
our area.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: Showers and thunderstorms will be likely from southern Texas through much
of the Southeast. Showers will fall along a cold front to the north, with some snow over northern New
York. A few snow showers will linger over the northern and central Great Lakes as well. A storm sys-
tem off the coast will provide rain for the Pacic Northwest.

Increasingly, right inthemiddle.
Theres a guaranteed market that

however, willing to buy an evolved

Mens underwear getting a little extra attention
A
ll right, you guys.
Its a new year and the perfect time to get your
fashion act together. If that sounds too sissy, lets
say, its new and improved wardrobe time.
While a lot of resolutions were aimed at weight loss or
more exercise, not many involved giving your closet a
good cleaning out and replacing things that dont fit (that
sport coat that is 4 inches from being able to button) or
items so out of style, you shouldnt be caught wearing
them(that big-shouldered, leather coat that Shaft made
so popular).
At Gentry Ltd. in Wichita, Kan., Brandon Sullivan re-
minds customers to add two must-haves for an updated
wardrobe. One is a casual topcoat. Sullivan says the new
length is at the knee or below.

their engagement rings, wed-
dinggowns andother gifts from
exes. A recent bargain of the
week featured an anonymous
teachers lynx fur jacket with a
real-worldprice of $12,000 but a
breakup asking price of $7,995.
Transactions are private via di-

The latest entrant is Wot-
WentWrong, brand new for
dumpees in search of feedback
from their formers after a first
date failed to produce a follow-
up call or budding love died on
thevinewithout explanation.
Registered users fill out de-
tailed questionnaires covering
what information theyre after
(was it my hair, the way I
dressed?) and can customize a
template letter to be sent
through the site to an ex. The ex
canrespondwithas muchdetail as
he or she desires through the site,
without contacting the sender di-
rectly.
Many new relationships end
without an actual ending, be it in
person or via technology, said the
site owner, Audrey Melnik, who
came up with the idea after a first
date she thought went well van-
ishedwithout a word.
There are times when you can
be left wondering why things end-
ed if you didnt ask at the moment
that you broke up. We provide a
waytogiveclosure, shesaid.
The site received 28,000 unique
visitors less thantwoweeks after it
was launchedJan. 24, Melniksaid.
Melnik and Andrea Miller, who
runs the dating portal YourTango-
.com, are certainly tech savvy, but
theyre both old fashioned when it
comes tobreakingup.
Its totally inappropriate to
break up digitally, Miller said.
Youshouldhavea conversation.
Miller declared Monday break-
up-with-your-ex day for the sec-
ondyear, offeringarangeof break-
over tips andadviceonher site.
Sheasked1,300ofherreadersfor
the biggest issues after a breakup,
and 71 percent said they think
abouttheirexestoomuch, while57
percent not currently in a relation-
ship said thinking about their for-
mers prevents them from finding
newlove.
Ofthosewhoaremarried,36per-
cent saidtheir attachment toanex
interferes with their current rela-
tionship.
People are connected to their
exes in a profound way, and many
used technology to find love in the
first place, Miller said, yet theres
this paucity of technology to help
you after a breakup. Were saying
get onwithit, inour digital lives as
well as ours hearts.

Theyre more functional that
way. Youcanwear it withjeans or
dress it all the way up. Its not the
heavy old topcoat of your dads,
he said, adding that the newer-
styled shoulder will be softer or
less structured.
Sullivan also suggests adding
colored denim to your jeans col-
lection. We havent seen these
since the 80s, but colors such as
desert tans and solid black are
the ones selling well, he said.
J.V. Johnston of Johnstons, in
Wichita, says every man needs to
make sure he has a dark suit for
marrying and burying.
But the problem is when they
have a dark suit and theyve had
the same one for 10 years. They
need to make sure its not the big
baggylookbecausenowshoulders
are more narrow. Clothes are back
to fitting again, Johnston said.

Dear Abby: Mild-
Mannered Motorist
in Virginia (Dec. 26)
asked you for a hand
signal to indicate
Im sorry to fel-
low drivers when he
makes mistakes be-
hind the wheel. Not long ago, I made
a not-so-serious mistake that angered
another driver. When I flashed a
peace sign, then moved my mouth
in an Im sorry, the persons frown
changed to a smile. We then drove on
with pleasant attitudes, and I tried to
watch my driving more closely.
The peace sign, of course, is hand
closed, forefinger and middle finger
up as in a V. I think the whole world
recognizes a peace sign.
Faithful Reader in Arkansas
Dear Faithful Reader: I assured
Mild-Mannered that my helpful
readers would step forward to offer
suggestions for an Im sorry signal.
And many, like you, mentioned giving
the peace sign. My newspaper readers
comment:
Dear Abby: We New Yorkers have
honed silent signals to a fine art.
When Im at fault in traffic or other
situations where I cant apologize
verbally, I make eye contact, put my
hand to my chest to accuse myself,
and put my hands in a prayerful
gesture to ask forgiveness. This
almost always defuses the situation
on the spot.
Lorna, in the City
Dear Abby: Why not use the Ameri-
can Sign Language symbol for sor-
ry? Make a fist with your right hand,
palm toward the body and place it
over the area of your heart and move
it in small circles. Of course, the
expression on your face pulls it all
together. The chance that the person
you offended may already be familiar
with this sign makes it a great way to
convey the sentiment.
Sign User in Old Lyme, Conn.
Dear Abby: If I think the other driver
will be able to see me, the gesture I
make after a mistake is an exaggerat-
ed smack to my forehead basically,
my own Homer Simpson Doh!
In the Wrong in Maine
Dear Abby: Mild-Mannered Motor-
ists letter reminded me of an inci-
dent a few years ago. Driving home
from work, I was forced to swerve
into an oncoming lane by a car driven
by a young woman who was pulling
onto the road from a parking lot. She
didnt see me. Fortunately, there were
no oncoming vehicles, and I was able
to return to my lane and proceed.
At the traffic signal, I noticed the
offending car was directly behind
me. It continued following me and
I started becoming concerned that I
had a stalker. Turning into my neigh-
borhood, I quickly drove up my drive-
way and into my garage. When I got
out of the car, the young woman was
walking up the driveway. She then
began profusely apologizing.
She had driven miles out of her
way to offer her apology, which I
gratefully accepted. Then we both
thanked God for protecting us. I have
never seen her again, but I hope she
knows I respect her tremendously.
Pleasantly Surprised in North
Carolina

To receive a collection of Abbys most
memorable and most frequently re-
quested poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus

Canada) to: Dear Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box
447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage
is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Whoever
said there are two sides to every
story was thinking incredibly
small. Without too much effort,
you can think of a dozen sides to
todays story, and youll choose
the most positive version for
your own records.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Youll
be caught between wanting
things to occur in a predictable
manner and knowing that would
be a sure recipe for mind-numb-
ing boredom. Liberate yourself.
Let go of the controls.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You love
a quirky old friend better than
you could ever love any idealized
version of friendship. You find
the flaws endearing. In fact, they
just might be the glue that holds
this relationship together.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Being
well rested will make a great dif-
ference in your attitude. When
your body feels strong, there is
a crisp freshness to your general
experience of life.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Go for excel-
lence. The first will motivate you
to be your best self. The second
will drive you crazy, make every-
thing take too long and cause
much to go unfinished.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Dont be
afraid of being an outsider. Such
a position could give you a dis-
tinct advantage now. You see all
kinds of things from the outside
that you could never see if you
were in the thick of it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). What
would you do if you knew you
were protected by a supernatu-
ral insurance policy that kept
you from any physical, emotional
or financial harm or liability?
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Youll
have to sleuth a bit in order to
understand the dynamics that
affect your social life. Sometimes
its what a person doesnt say
that says the most. Listen
between the lines.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Youll make sure your loved ones
stay out of trouble. Its a noble
pursuit that may not seem to be
working at first. Time will prove
your efforts most effective.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Generous souls abound. Mostly,
they come out of the woodwork
ready to give because they rec-
ognize you as one of their own.
It will feel good to be seen for
who you really are.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Youll
be the steady torchbearer, bring-
ing light to a situation that has
been in darkness for a long, long
while. Dont be surprised if no
one knows what to do next. For
now, its enough to take it all in.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). In
order for an organization to
function, the work can never be
fully completed. So dont worry
too much about the unfinished
edges.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Feb. 16).
This year is a real mix-up to your
routine, and your life brightens
with the challenges that come
with the unexpected twists and
turns. Over the next 10 weeks,
youll concern yourself with the
well-being of others and will
blossom personally. Youll man-
age your money well and fund
a June adventure. Aries and
Sagittarius people adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 40, 2,
33, 49 and 18.
