The leader of the Roman
Catholic Church in Northeastern

Pennsylvania and other local
observers believe the rst public
actions of Pope Francis are telling
of what Catholics might expect of
their new leader.
The Most Rev. Joseph Bam-
bera, bishop of the Diocese of
Scranton, said on Wednesday that
he found some reports of Pope
HARRISBURG Describing
the Pennsylvania Turnpike as
cash cow for the state Senate,
a state grand jury on Wednesday
issued a report that charges for-
mer state Sen. Robert Mellowand
seven other men of engaging in a
pay-to-play scheme.
The charges, announced
Wednesday by state Attorney
General Kathleen Kane, allege
Mellow and the other defendants
used their power to inuence the
awarding of numerous, multimil-
lion-dollar contracts to political
supporters, even when the con-
tract winners were not the most
qualied or had submitted bids
far in excess of other contractors.
The grand jurys report notes
several turnpike employees who
questioned the awards were ter-
minated or given poor job evalu-
ations in retaliation for raising
objections.

HARRISBURG As public
school safety has been a con-
cern, a state Senate committee
Wednesday shifted the magnify-
ing glass onto colleges, parochi-
al schools and preschools.
The comments and testimony
came one month after several
public school and law enforce-
ment ofcials from across the
state told the same Senate
panel that armed ofcers in
public K-12 schools are an un-
fortunate necessity. While the
arming of ofcers was raised

MORE OBITUARIES, Page 6A
NUANGOLA According to comments
at Monday nights sewer authority meeting
there are still some people who have not
bought in to the sewer system even
though the project is in its fourth month.
Chairman Ray Shirk said there are seven
homeowners who have not responded to
easement letters distributed by the author-
ity. An easement is needed in order for the
contractor, Wexcon, to go onto an individu-
als property to install piping and a grinder
pump.
These property owners could face legal
action by borough council, Shirk said.
In addition, Dan Loughren, project en-
gineer for the Quad3 Group, said a group
known as the Pine Association wont allow
the contractor to position heavy equipment
on land owned by the members of the as-
sociation. This has resulted in at least four
properties on Vandermark Avenue being
bypassed during this installation phase,
Loughren said.
Loughren said he is hopeful that prevail-
ing issues can be resolved through negotia-
tion.
Otherwise the authority conducted rou-
tine business, including:
* Approving the payment of a $236,464
invoice to Wexcon and $236,401 (for grind-
er pumps) to Environmental One.
* Discussing the need to adopt a policy
to remove, or disable, septic tanks once the
system goes into service.
* Hearing comment by authority trea-
surer Ted Vancosky that the assistance
plan for the nancing of connection fees
has increased to 105 homeowners. Pay-
ment of $258 to Corcoran Printing of Wil-
kes-Barre for payment booklets was also
approved.
poliTiCAl briEF
Clarence Lewis, of Butler
Street in Shickshinny, who was
recently appointed to serve on
the Shickshinny Sewer Author-
ity, said he has led his petition
to run for mayor.
He is seeking the Republican
nomination in the May 21 pri-
mary election. Lewis will be vy-
ing for the post held by Beverly
Moore.
Besides the sewer authority,
Lewis said he is active with the
Shickshinny Forward group and
several other community organi-
zations.
Lewis has lived in the Shick-
shinny area since 2000, and his
focus is on revitalizing the com-
mercial and recreational func-
tions of the community, he said.
In addition, he said, he will work
to restore an atmosphere of co-
operation between the mayor
and council.
Seven homeowners shun Nuangola sewer system work
By TOM HUNTINGTON
Times Leader Correspondent
They have not responded to easement
letters distributed by sewer authority
and may face legal action, ofcial says.
WILKES-BARRE What was origi-
nally planned as a one-time fundraiser
for kidney cancer research is now shap-
ing up to be an annual event.
The Renal Race will include a one-
mile fun walk and a 5k run, both starting
from Public Square at 9 a.m. Saturday.
Erin Rebo Pikul, 35, of Wilkes-Barre,
organized and co-founded the inaugural
event last year as a way to support kid-
ney cancer research after her husband,
Frank, was diagnosed with the disease.
About 500 people turned out for an
event that Rebo Pikul thought would
draw a few dozen. She said she was
amazed and thankful for the turnout
and support the event received but
didnt envision it as an annual fundrais-
er. But people kept asking her about a
second go-around, and the more she
thought it about it the more it made
sense, she said.
It was a no-brainer. We had to. We
started something, Rebo Pikul said.
Last years event raised $20,000 for
cancer research and was donated to the
Kidney Cancer Association and Memo-
rial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in
New York, where Frank received can-
cer treatment.
Rebo Pikul said the recipients of this
years proceeds have not been deter-
mined, only that it will be sent to orga-
nizations that promote cancer research
and advocacy. She said she was also ex-
ploring keeping some of the money local.
When Frank, now 39, was diagnosed
with kidney cancer on Dec. 31, 2010,
the couple were not overly involved in
charitable donations. If a friend or fam-
ily member made a request, they would
contribute, but for the most part, we
were never overly active in charitable
causes, Rebo Pikul said. When the time
came that the couple found themselves
supporting a cause and touched by can-
cer, they were unsure just what kind of
help and support they would get.
Why would anyone help us, because
were not out there helping anyone
else, Rebo Pikul said. But when they
saw the response and support the com-
munity gave to them, they began to pay
it forward.
Were in everything now, Rebo Pi-
kul said, noting that while they arent
big on participating in the 5k runs, they
do go to events and other fundraisers.
When: Saturday, with registration at 8
a.m. at Rodanos on Public Square
Where: Run and walk start on Public
Square
Price: $20 for race day registration
Benets: Kidney cancer research causes
Details: Participants that preregistered
get a T-shirt, those who register the day
of the event get a backpack. There will be
a DJ, but, please, no pets permitted.
Renal run is on pace to be a yearly event
An ongoing battle over Lu-
zerne County Public Defend-
ers Ofce stafng levels was
highlighted in a front-page
USA Today article published
Wednesday.
The article, which focused
on the 50th anniversary of a
Supreme Court ruling grant-
ing the indigent the consti-
tutional right to a lawyer, de-
scribed county Chief Public
Defender Al Flora as a rebel
for suing the county his
employer seeking more
staff to fulll this mandate.
Governments across the
country are struggling to fund
an increasing demand for in-
digent representation sparked
by rising criminal cases.
A Luzerne County judge
ultimately will decide if addi-
tional employees are warrant-
ed in the local Public Defend-
ers Ofce. A court hearing
isnt expected for months
because both sides must have
time to gather information to
support their positions, a pro-
cess known as discovery.
John Dean, the countys
outside attorney, said a con-
sultant reviewed prior court
transcripts in the case and
already believes the ofce is
properly staffed.
The Public Defenders Of-
ce has a $2.7 million budget
this year, compared to $2.5
million in 2012. The budget
provides funding for 40 posi-
tions, including 24 full-time
and part-time assistant public
defenders.
As part of discovery, Dean
plans to collect depositions
from all the ofces assistant
public defenders, interview-
ing them about their case-
loads, schedules and work
processes to determine if the
ofce is efciently run.
Al Flora poses in his ofce with les of cases before him.
He contends his department is overextended.

SCRANTON
Film company to get $4.1M
A federal judge has awarded a default
judgment of $4.1 million to a Scran-
ton lm company for money it said it
is owed from a Los Angeles-based dis-
tributor.
Revere Pictures, 515 Center St.,
Scranton, led suit on June 13 against
Maya Corp. Entertainment Group for
alleged breach of contract and unlaw-
ful enrichment for prots gained from
the movie Forged. The feature-length
movie was lmed in February 2009 in
locations across Northeastern Pennsyl-
vania.
Citing box ofce returns from 2011
to 2013, Revere claimed in court doc-
uments from March 4 that the lm
grossed $4,140,358.
The full amount of box ofce returns
was awarded March 11 by U. S. Dis-
trict Court Judge Robert D. Mariani for
Mayas failure to answer, plead or oth-
erwise defend against Reveres claims.
Forged starred Manny Perez as
Chuco, a man returning to the outside
world after serving eight years in prison
for killing his wife. The lm was an of-
cial selection at several lm festivals
in 2010 and 2011 and earned the Best

Physician
charged
in alleged
gun ring
By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER
tmorgan@timesleader.com
Mark Anthony Gonsky, of
Mountain Top, faces charges
including terroristic threats.
FAIRVIEW TWP. -- A Moun-
tain Top physician accused of
ring a gun in his front yard
after a drunken altercation with
neighbors and employees at an
area market is facing charges of
terroristic threats, recklessly en-
dangering another person and
disorderly conduct.
Police say Mark Anthony
Gonsky, 60, a longtime family
physician with a practice at 111
S. Mountain Blvd., was highly
intoxicated when they rst en-
countered him after they were
dispatched to Carones Market
for a report of man harassing
employees on Feb. 24.
According to an arrest afda-
vit:
As police spoke with Gon-
sky, of Loop Road, he became
belligerent and was taken into
custody after he refused to obey
orders to calm down. He contin-
ued to yell and curse at the of-
cers as they drove him to his
home, at one time threatening
that he was going to put a bul-
let between the eyes of ofcer
Dennis Monk.
Gonsky was allowed to go
into his house and was advised
to stay there and not drive, or he
would be arrested. Police then
spoke with Gonskys neighbor,
who reported Gonsky had dam-
aged the vehicle of her Realtor.
The Realtor also reported Gon-
sky had thrown an open house
sign the Realtor had placed on
the neighbors property into the
woods, and had tried to run him
over with his vehicle.
Police left the scene after tak-
ing the reports, but were soon
called back after neighbors
reported Gonsky was outside,
ring a gun in his front yard.
Gonsky was then taken into cus-
tody and placed in the Luzerne
County Correctional Facility.
He was later released after post-
ing bail.
Gonskys attorney, Anthony
Moses, said Wednesday that
Gonsky is embarrassed by the
incident and plans to do every-
thing he needs to do to put the
matter behind him.
He is somebody with a good
reputation in the community
who has dedicated his life to
helping others, Moses said.
He plans to do the right thing
at the end of the day and move
on with his life.

Former Rice Township re chief charged with theft
WRIGHT TWP. New re-
cord keeping has been put in
place at the Rice Township
Volunteer Fire Department,
said newly elected Fire Chief/
Treasurer Paul Eyerman, after
former treasurer Donald Bly
was charged with bilking nearly
$4,400.
It saddens us today to see
one of our members involved
in some police activity, Eyer-
man said Wednesday. Were
regrouping. We elected new of-
cers. Were moving forward.
Despite the alleged nancial
setback, Eyerman said the re
department will continue to
respond to res and medical
emergencies.
Bly, 31, of Cherry Wood
Drive, Nuangola, was arraigned
Wednesday by District Judge
Ronald Swank on two counts of
theft. Bly had been the re chief
and treasurer of the re depart-
ment, Eyerman said.
Rice Township police allege
Bly, as treasurer, wrote eight
checks to himself totaling
$4,395 from June to December,
according to the criminal com-
plaint.
Bly had been a member of the
re department for two to three
years, Eyerman said.
Fire department members
became concerned, Eyerman
said, when Bly did not submit
a treasurers report to township
supervisors for months. The
information and checkbooks say
he was buying equipment, Ey-
erman said. There was a lawn
tractor involved.
Bly allegedly told police
he purchased equipment for
the re department with the
checks, but could not produce
receipts or the equipment, the
complaint says.
The alleged stolen money is
about 25 percent of the re de-
partments annual budget, Eyer-
man said.
Theres been some new safe-
guards put in, additional signing
of checks, more registries, more
documentation, Eyerman said.
It made us regroup; we have to
work a little harder at fundrais-
ing and tighten our budget to
survive this.
A preliminary hearing is
scheduled on March 20.

Melvins pension on line
Suspended state Supreme Court
Justice Joan Orie Melvin stands to
lose a sizeable state pension once shes
sentenced on corruption charges in
May, when the judge who presided
over her campaign corruption trial
also may remove her from ofce.
Information obtained Wednesday
by The Associated Press from the
State Employees Retirement System
through a Right-to-Know request
shows Melvin qualies for a maximum
annual pension of $140,322.
The request also sought pension
information about Melvins sister,
former state Sen. Jane Orie, who is
serving a prison sentence in a re-
lated corruption case. Based on that
information, the AP calculated Ories
maximum annual pension at $37,700.
ORLANDO, FLA.
State lt. gov. resigns post
Floridas lieutenant governor
resigned and nearly 60 other people
were charged in a widening scandal
of a purported veterans charity that
authorities said Wednesday was $300
million front for illegal gambling.
Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carrolls resigna-
tion came a day after she was ques-
tioned in the investigation. Her public
relations rm did work for the St.
Augustine-based charity Allied Veter-
ans of the World, but she has not been
accused of wrongdoing.
Authorities said the probe involved
57 arrest warrants and 54 search war-
rants issued at gambling operations
in 23 Florida counties and ve other
states: South Carolina, Georgia, Ala-
bama, Nevada and Pennsylvania.
Florida Attorney General Pam Bon-
di said charges, which will be formally
led next week, include racketeering,
conspiracy, money laundering and pos-
session of slot machines.

Colo. OKs ammo limits
Fiercely debated ammunition limits
have cleared Colorados Democratic
Legislature and are on their way to the
governor, who has said hell sign the
measure into law.
The 15-round magazine limit would
make Colorado the rst state outside
the East Coast to ratchet back gun
rights after last years deadly shooting
sprees.
Colorados gun-control debates have
been closely watched because of the
states gun-loving frontier heritage and
painful history of mass shootings.
Colorado lawmakers decided to
keep negotiating on a bill to expand
background-check requirements to
most private and online gun sales.
WASHINGTON
Welfare work at issue
The House is taking up a politically
charged bill that would block the
Obama administration from waiving
any work requirements in the 1996
welfare reform law.
House Republicans are using the bill
to renew a political ght that started
during the presidential campaign.
They say President Barack Obama is
trying to gut work requirements in
the law a claim that is disputed by
administration ofcials.
The bill also authorizes funding for
the Temporary Assistance for Needy
Families program through the end
of the year at current funding levels.
Without an extension, funding for the
TANF program would run out March
27.
The House is scheduled to vote on
the bill Wednesday. Democrats who
control the Senate are expected to op-
pose the waiver provision.

Humility
defines
new pope
VATICAN CITY Pope
Francis is the rst ever from
the Americas, an austere Jesuit
intellectual who modernized
Argentinas conservative Catho-
lic Church.
Known until Wednesday as
Jorge Bergoglio, the 76-year-old
is known as a humble man who
denied himself the luxuries that
previous Buenos Aires cardinals
enjoyed.
Groups of supporters waved
Argentine ags in St. Peters
Square as Francis, wearing
simple white robes, made his
rst public appearance as pope.
Ladies and gentlemen, good
evening, he said before making
a reference to his roots in Latin
America, which accounts for
about 40 percent of the worlds
Roman Catholics .
Bergoglio often rode the bus
to work, cooked his own meals
and regularly visited the slums
that ring Argentinas capital.
He considers social outreach,
rather than doctrinal battles, to
be the essential business of the
church.
He accused fellow church
leaders of hypocrisy and forget-
ting that Jesus Christ bathed
lepers and ate with prostitutes.
Jesus teaches us another
way: Go out. Go out and share
your testimony, go out and
interact with your brothers, go
out and share, go out and ask.
Become the Word in body as
well as spirit, Bergoglio told
Argentinas priests last year.
Bergoglios legacy as cardinal
includes his efforts to repair
the reputation of a church that
lost many followers by failing
to openly challenge Argentinas
murderous 1976-83 dictator-
ship. He also worked to recover
the churchs traditional politi-
cal inuence in society, but his
outspoken criticism of Presi-
dent Cristina Kirchner couldnt
stop her from imposing socially
liberal measures that are anath-
ema to the church, from gay
marriage and adoption to free
contraceptives for all.
In our ecclesiastical region
there are priests who dont
baptize the children of single
mothers because they werent
conceived in the sanctity of
marriage, Bergoglio told his
priests. These are todays hyp-
ocrites. Those who clericalize
the church. Those who separate
the people of God from salva-
tion. And this poor girl who,
rather than returning the child
to sender, had the courage to
carry it into the world, must
wander from parish to parish so
that its baptized!
Bergoglio compared this
concept of Catholicism, this
church of come inside so we
make decisions and announce-
ments between ourselves and
those who dont come in, dont
belong, to the Pharisees of
Christs time people who
congratulate themselves while
condemning all others.
This sort of pastoral work,
aimed at capturing more souls
and building the ock, was an
essential skill for any religious
leader in the modern era, said
Bergoglios authorized biogra-
pher, Sergio Rubin.
But Bergoglio himself felt
most comfortable taking a very
low prole, and his personal
style was the antithesis of Vati-
can splendor.
Its a very curious thing:
When bishops meet, he always
wants to sit in the back rows.
This sense of humility is very
well seen in Rome, Rubin said
before the 2013 conclave to
choose Benedicts successor.

Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio
denied himself luxuries that
previous cardinals enjoyed.
The Associated Press
In choosing a 76-year-old
pope, the cardinals clearly
decided that they didnt need
a vigorous, young pope who
would reign for decades but
rather a seasoned, popu-
lar and humble pastor who
would draw followers to the
faith. The cardinal electors
overcame deep divisions to
select the 266th pontiff in a
remarkably fast, ve-ballot
conclave.
Francis asked for prayers
for himself, and for retired
Pope Benedict XVI, whose
surprising resignation paved
the way for the conclave that
brought the rst Jesuit to
the papacy. He also spoke by
phone with Benedict after
his election and plans to see
him in the coming days, the
Vatican said.
Brothers and sisters, good
evening, Francis said to wild
cheers in his rst public re-
marks as pontiff. You know
that the work of the conclave
is to give a bishop to Rome.
It seems as if my brother car-
dinals went to nd him from
the end of the earth. Thank
you for the welcome.
Bergoglio had reportedly
nished second in the 2005
conclave that produced
Benedict who last month
became the rst pope to re-
sign in 600 years.
After announcing Habe-
mus Papam We have a
pope! a cardinal standing
on the balcony of St. Peters
Basilica on Wednesday re-
vealed the identity of the new
pontiff, using his Latin name,
and announced he would be
called Francis.
The longtime archbishop
of Buenos Aires, is the son
of middle-class Italian im-
migrants and is known as
a humble man who denied
himself the luxuries that pre-
vious Buenos Aires cardinals
enjoyed.
He often rode the bus to
work, cooked his own meals
and regularly visited the
slums that ring Argentinas
capital. He considers social
outreach, rather than doctri-
nal battles, to be the essential
business of the church.
Catholics are still buzzing
over his speech last year ac-
cusing fellow church ofcials
of hypocrisy for forgetting
that Jesus Christ bathed lep-
ers and ate with prostitutes.
Bergoglio has slowed a bit
with age and is feeling the
effects of having a lung re-
moved due to infection when
he was a teenager.
In a lifetime of teaching
and leading priests in Latin
America, which has the
largest share of the worlds
Catholics, Bergoglio has also
shown a keen political sen-
sibility as well as the kind
of self-effacing humility that
fellow cardinals value highly,
according to his ofcial biog-
rapher, Sergio Rubin.
He showed that humility
on Wednesday, saying that
before he blessed the crowd
he wanted their prayers for
him and bowed his head.
Good night, and have a
good rest, he said before go-
ing back into the palace.
In choosing to call himself
Francis, the new pope was
associating himself with the
much-loved Italian saint as-
sociated with peace, poverty
and simplicity. St. Francis
founded the Franciscan or-
der.
Francis will celebrate his
rst Mass as pope in the Sis-
tine Chapel today, and will
be installed ofcially as pope
on Tuesday, according to the
Vatican spokesman the Rev.
Federico Lombardi.
Lombardi, also a Jesuit,
said he was particularly
stunned by the election giv-
en that Jesuits typically shun
positions of authority in the
church, instead offering their
work in service to those in
power.
But Lombardi said that in
accepting the election, Fran-
cis must have felt it a strong
call to service, an antidote
to all those who speculated
that the papacy was about a
search for power.
Tens of thousands of peo-
ple who braved cold rain to
watch the smokestack atop
the Sistine Chapel jumped
in joy when white smoke
poured out a few minutes
past 7 p.m., many shout-
ing Habemus Papam! or
We have a pope! as the
bells of St. Peters Basilica
and churches across Rome
pealed.
They cheered again
when the doors to the log-
gia opened, and again when
Bergoglios name was an-
nounced.
I cant explain how happy
I am right now, said Ben
Canete, a 32-year-old Filipi-
no, jumping up and down in
excitement.
Elected on the fth ballot,
Francis was chosen in one of
the fastest conclaves in years,
remarkable given there was
no clear front-runner going
into the vote and that the
church had been in turmoil
after the upheaval unleashed
by Pope Benedict XVIs sur-
prise resignation.
A winner must receive 77
votes, or two-thirds of the
115, to be named pope.
For comparisons sake,
Benedict was elected on the
fourth ballot in 2005 but
he was the clear front-runner
going into the vote. Pope
John Paul II was elected on
the eighth ballot in 1978 to
become the rst non-Italian
pope in 455 years.
Patrizia Rizzo ran down
the main boulevard to the pi-
azza with her two children as
soon as she heard the news
on the car radio. I parked
the car and dashed to the
square, she said. Its so ex-
citing, as Romans we had to
come.
Bergoglios legacy as car-
dinal includes his efforts to
repair the reputation of a
church that lost many follow-
ers by failing to openly chal-
lenge Argentinas murderous
1976-83 dictatorship.
Many Argentines remain
angry over the churchs ac-
knowledged failure to openly
confront a regime that was
kidnapping and killing thou-
sands of people as it sought
to eliminate subversive ele-
ments in society. Its one
reason why more than two-
thirds of Argentines describe
themselves as Catholic, but
fewer than 10 percent regu-
larly attend Mass.

FRANCIS
AP PHOTOS
Pope Francis waves to the crowd from the central balcony of St. Peters Basilica at the
Vatican on Wednesday. He is the rst Jesuit pontiff.
Francis rst public appear-
ance rather touching.
When he emerged on the
balcony at St. Peters Square
to deliver his rst blessing,
he didnt have the tradi-
tional velvet mozzeta (cape)
they refer to with the ermine
trim. He just wore a white
cassock and then put a stole
on when he was going to
bless the people, Bambera
noted.
What I thought was most
touching and perhaps very
reective of who this man is
and what he will bring to the
Chair of St. Peter was his re-
quest of all those thousands
of people who were gathered
there, that before he blessed
them, that they would bless
him and pray for him, and
he knelt down and that
crowd was silent in prayer
for him. What a wonder-
ful, wonderful statement of
faith in Gods people and of
ultimately a sense of brother-
hood and sisterhood that he
expressed in that gesture,
Bambera said.
Bambera admitted he was
surprised at the College of
Cardinals choice for the new
pope, as he believes many
people were.
I dont believe that he
was on the top list of a lot
of those who seemed to be
handicapped in the elec-
tion, Bambera said.
Bambera said many peo-
ple might assume Bergoglio
selected the name Francis
based on St. Francis of As-
sisi, who was known to be
a humble man. But Cardinal
Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Ar-
gentina is also the rst Jesuit
to be elected pope and Fran-
cis Xavier was a founding
companion of the Society of
Jesus, Bambera noted, add-
ing his congratulations to
the Jesuit community.
I think it will take some
time for him to sort out for
us why he chose that name,
Bambera said. Regardless,
I think clearly whether
he picked Francis Xavier or
Francis of Assisi, the humil-
ity that he has already shown
by his gestures and his words
I think clearly reect Francis
of Assisi in many ways.
Jesuits may be in a bit of
a bind with the appointment
of one of their own as pope
for the rst time in the his-
tory of the ofce, Miseri-
cordia University Associate
Professor of Religion Joseph
Curran said.
I think for a lot of Jesu-
its, to have a Jesuit selected
as pope is a great moment,
Curran, who earned his
college degrees at Jesuit
schools, said. I think Jesuits
will want to take great pride
in it, but as Jesuits, they
cant take great pride in it.
As if to reinforce that no-
tion, the president of the
University of Scranton a
Jesuit institution issued
a relatively subdued state-
ment.
The University of Scran-
ton shares the joy of Catho-
lics worldwide at the se-
lection of His Eminence
Cardinal Jorge Mario Ber-
goglio of Argentina to serve
as our next pope, the Rev.
Kevin Quinn wrote. Pope
Francis, as he has chosen to
be forever known, shares a
special bond with Scranton
and all Jesuit colleges and
universities across the globe
as the rst member of the
Society of Jesus to be so el-
evated
The choice of Bergoglio of-
fered other rsts as well. He
is the rst pope chosen from
Latin America and, Curran
suspects, may be the rst
pope chosen from outside
Europe. I believe there were
some African popes very
early in Church history, he
said, but they were trans-
planted Europeans.
And Bergoglio is the rst
pope to select the name
Francis, which Curran and
other saw as deeply signi-
cant.
What this says to me is a
kind of simplicity, a spiritual
simplicity, and an attempt to
return to simplicity as a new
way of doing things, Cur-
ran said.
Kings College President
The Rev. John Ryan echoed
that sentiment in a brief
statement issued between
weekly staff meetings.
St. Francis was a humble
man and friend of the poor.
The new popes selection of
this name is a sign that he
will extend his devotion to
the poor and marginalized
people of Argentina to the
entire Church, Ryan wrote.
He has dealt with social
injustice (in Argentina),
Curran said. Hes very
aware of income inequal-
ity, he has spoken very
eloquently about the gap
between the rich and the
poor.
The selection of a pope
from Latin America, where
the number of Catholics has
been growing rather than
shrinking, was not a sur-
prise many had predicted
as much. The selection of a
Jesuit was surprising, Cur-
ran said, in part because
Jesuits have a history of
clashing with Rome. Jesu-
its have a great history, but
a rough history, he said. I
thought it was more likely
to be an American than to
be a Jesuit.
Bergoglio had something
else working against him:
age hes 76. He was
widely perceived as the run-
ner up last time, and going
into this conclave most peo-
ple dismissed him as too old
for this time, Curran said.
On the plus side, Bergoglio
has Italian roots in his fam-
ily, which may have worked
in his favor as the choice
was made.
The new pope is very or-
thodox on church teachings
on morality, Curran said, so
Catholics should not expect
sweeping changes.

Aires Archbishop Jorge Bergoglio was chosen as pope.

MASS FOR ThE POPE

bera, bishop of Scranton, will

Celia Mae Finn
March 12, 2013
C
elia Mae Finn, beloved mother,
returned to the Lord on Tues-
day evening, March 12, 2013, at her
home, surrounded in love by her
family after a long and brave battle
with cancer.
Celia was an extraordinary wom-
an. She was outgoing, full of life,
brilliant and stunningly beautiful.
She lived a long and very happy life.
She was a devoted wife of 58
years to her husband, William, and
a super-mom, raising her ve boys
with boundless love and care. It
takes a special person to raise ve
boys and she did an amazing job.
Celia was born in the Heights
section of Wilkes-Barre, and lived
the last 40 years in Wilkes-Barre
Township in the home she and Wil-
liam built.
Celia was extremely intelligent.
Despite the challenge of losing both
her parents by age 9, she excelled
in school. She was so smart, her
teachers asked her to skip an entire
grade, jumping from seventh grade
to ninth grade before going on to
graduate from GAR in the class
of 1954. She had the fastest mind
around with an incredible wit. She
always made her family and friends
laugh and was a great competitor in
any card or board game.
Celia worked at Bell Telephone
when she was younger and, for sev-
eral years, at Blue Cross after her
children had grown before a long
and fullling retirement.
Celia was the best mom anyone
could ask for. She even moved the
entire family to follow dads work,
living in Vermont for several years
and later in Puerto Rico.
Celia was a member of the First
Assembly of God Church in Wilkes-
Barre for more than 30 years. She
spent years studying the Bible and
lived by its teaching. She taught
Sunday School at First Assembly
for many years. She was beloved by
her students and always made her
classes fun with games and prizes.
Celia loved to sing and dance.
She loved her heritage polka music
dearly and even got Stanky him-
self to play live in her familys home
for Dads 40th birthday.
Celia was lucky enough to travel
the world. She took several cruises,
visiting numerous islands in the
Caribbean. She vacationed in Ha-
waii, London, Ireland and her abso-
lute favorite, Paris.
Its no coincidence Celia was
born on Valentines Day. Her life
was dedicated to bringing so much
love to others. Mom, we miss you
so much and wish you the eternal
peace you so deserve, basking in
Gods love for you.
Celia is preceded in the afterlife
by her mother and father, Stanley
and Helen Sinavage; her brothers
Chester, Leo, Teddy, Stanley and
Frankie; and her sisters Susie, Mil-
dred and Rose.
Celia will be deeply, sadly and
forever missed by her husband, Wil-
liam; her ve sons, Patrick, Thom-
as, William, Terrance and John, as
well as each of their spouses, Steph-
anie, Susan, Pamela, Susan and
Kristin, respectively; her 11 grand-
children, Corey, Kaitlyn, Sophia, Si-
enna, Kelly, Thomas, Caleb, Ryan,
Matthew, Amber and William; two
great-grandchildren, Jonathan and
Elizabeth, the children of Kelly and
her husband, Jonathan Steffy; her
step-grandchildren, Johan, Zack,
Zeb and Ian; her brother Eddie and
her sister Lee.
Celias family would like to thank
everyone who loved her and shared
so many kind thoughts and prayers
during this time. A special thanks
to Dr. Bruce Saidman, who helped
Celia for so many years.
A wake for Celia will take
place at the Jendrzejewski Funeral
Home, 21 N. Meade St., Wilkes-
Barre, on Friday from 7 to 9 p.m.
Funeral services will be held at the
First Assembly of God Church in
Wilkes-Barre at 11 a.m. Saturday. David R. Bright

an assembler for Encon Inc., Dal-
las. In her earlier years, she was
employed for 18 years as an in-
spector for the former Woodbury
Manufacturing Co., Wilkes-Barre.
Ceil was a faithful member
of St. Frances X. Cabrini Roman
Catholic Church, Carverton.
A woman of many enjoyments,
Ceil especially enjoyed playing

unteer Hose Co. No. 1. She also
enjoyed listening to various pol-
kas and always looked forward to
watching polkas on television.
Family was the center of Ceils

Judge denies new trial in Exeter blast
WILKES-BARRE Daniel
Lamoreauxs guilty plea will
stand.
Luzerne County Judge Tina
Polachek Gartley on Wednes-
day denied Lamoreauxs re-
quest to withdraw his guilty
plea to blowing up his Penn
Street, Exeter, house on Aug.
1, 2009. The explosion scat-
tered debris, damaged 55
homes, three businesses, an
elementary school and injured
two girls, resulting in civil
lawsuits against Lamoreaux.
Investigators alleged Lam-
oreaux poured and sprayed
gasoline that ignited through-
out his house and garage.
Lamoreaux was sentenced
to eight to 16 years in state
prison. He was ordered to pay
$265,722 in restitution cost
for damage, hospital and in-
surance bills.
He sought to pull his guilty
plea, claiming he was medi-
cated and was suffering from
depression when he appeared
before Gartley on May 25,
2010, when he pleaded guilty
to arson and causing a catas-
trophe. He said he was told by
his court-appointed attorney,
John Sobota, that he would be
sentenced to 22 months to 35
months.
Lamoreaux said the explo-
sion was not a violent act
of arson but an accident in
a failed suicide attempt. He
spent several months in a
medically induced coma at
Lehigh Valley Burn Center in
Allentown after the blast.
Gartley, in a ruling fled
Wednesday, stated Lam-
oreaux understood he was
pleading guilty and signed
the plea agreement after an
extensive colloquy, a process
that includes questions by the
judge to determine if the de-
fendant understands the pro-
ceeding.
(Lamoreaux) knowingly
and voluntarily entered his
guilty plea and was subject to
sentencing by this courts dis-
cretion, Gartley said in her
opinion.
She further stated Lamor-
eaux failed to establish that
his attorney was inept.
(Lamoreaux) cannot raise
a successful claim of ineffec-
tive council simply by virtue
of his displeasure with the
sentencing term of incarcera-
tion, the judge stated.
Daniel Lamoreaux was sen-
tenced up to 16 years and
ordered to pay $265,722.

pionship last weekend in order to
get a grasp of whats required to
host that tournament. The arena
is thinking about submitting a
bid to host it for three years start-
ing in 2015.
It went really well, she said,
adding the people they met with
indicated that theres a very
good possibility that we may be
selected as a site to host (the
womens) tournament. Thats not
conrmed, but things are going
very well with that.
Bonnevier also provided an up-

Last month the board approved
paying RAS $20,000 to conduct
the study to help determine the

foot expansion at the arena. She
said she provided information on

and, among other things, a list
of businesses in the market that
the consultant Ron Gorodesky

Editorial
D
oes raising the tax on
rearms and ammuni-
tion make sense as a
way of reducing gun
violence in the United States?
A lot of Democratic lawmakers
seem to think so, based on the
amount of legislation at both
the federal and state levels to do
just that. Were not sure theyre
right, which is why we have
problems with nearly all the tax-
ation bills on the table. But they
do make some important points
in principle.
So-called sin taxes have their
downsides, but they can have
benets. Cigarette taxes, for
example, have dramatically
decreased smoking, reducing
healthcare costs, and aided in-
nocent victims of second-hand
tobacco smoke. So wouldnt
raising taxes on guns have a pos-
itive impact? Not necessarily.
The 2007 Small Arms Survey
estimated that there are roughly
270 million civilian-owned guns
in the U.S., so its doubtful any
reduction in rsthand sales
would make much of a differ-
ence for years to come. Then
theres the very reasonable ques-
tion of whether, in a nation with
a 2nd Amendment, it would be
possible to ever reduce the gun
supply enough to make a dent in
rearm violence.
And guns cost a great deal
more than cigarettes. A 5 per-
cent tax on a $300 handgun
amounts to an extra $15. A per-
son bent on mass murder would
hardly be discouraged by a low
gun tax, and it would take many
years for the higher retail costs
to lter down to the criminal
market in second-hand guns;
moreover, a criminal who needs
a gun as a primary tool of his
trade would hardly be put off by
a slightly higher price.
But that leaves the more im-
portant question of how the
money raisedby the tax is spent.
For sin taxes to be effective, the
proceeds have to pay for things
that reduce the social cost of
bad behavior, thus sticking the
bill where it belongs while the
tax pays for itself through cost
savings. As Times staff writer
Richard Simon reported, at
least half a dozen states are con-
sidering bills to impose higher
taxes on rearms and ammo
usually to the tune of 5 percent
to 10 percent and theres a
push in Congress for a nation-
wide 10 percent tax. Most of
the state bills would also pay for
questionable projects. One Cali-
fornia bill, for example, would
tax every bullet sold in the
state by a nickel to pay for early
childhood screening and treat-
ment of mental illness. Useful,
but would that really deter gun
crime?

Gun tax bills
miss the mark
T
he secretive North
Korean regime has
always been known
for bluster and hy-
perbole, but in recent days its
pronouncements have become
more extreme, and the reasons,
as usual, are somewhat obscure.
Pyongyang could be reacting
to United Nations sanctions
approved last week or ongoing
military exercises between the
United States and South Korea,
which always rile up the excit-
able northerners. But the real
trigger may have been Chinas
decision to crack down, at last,
on its erratic ally.
North Korea in recent months
has deed the world and its
Chinese allies by testing an
intercontinental ballistic mis-
sile and conducting a third nu-
clear bomb text. Beijing fears
the Norths reckless pursuit of
nuclear bombs could set off an
East Asian arms race that would
undermine its own security.
North Korea says it has torn
up the armistice of 1953 ending
the Korean War although no
ofcial notication had been
yet sent to Washington by late
Monday and is refusing to
answer calls from South Korea
on their shared hot line.
The Ask a Korean blog,
which tracks Korean-language
media, reports a new sense of
resolve on the part of the Bei-
jing leadership. It has imposed
tougher enforcement of smug-
gling across Chinas border with
North Korea, causing prices for
essential commodities like rice
to skyrocket in North Korea.
Chinas move to crimp off
cross-border trade could have
prompted Pyongyang to revert
to its default mode: Issue a
stream of dire threats to gain
attention, leading to another
round of talks and more ship-
ments of aid in exchange for
Pyongyangs promise, once
again, to cease and desist.
Thats how it has worked for
the last 15 years. The tougher
response by the United Nations
as well as the Obama adminis-
tration indicates that the old
game of Pyongyang blackmail is
rightly no longer working.

Stop the slash and burn
of Public Health nursing
W
e have all seen or heard the proverbial
politician who keeps our eyes over
here while using sleight of hand over
there. Look over here, lottery privati-
zation. Look over there, liquor store
privatization. Quietly, right in front of
our eyes, Pennsylvanias Public Health
infrastructure is disappearing.
This administration is continuing with
the Republican mantra of slash and burn.
Right now state health centers are being
closed and public health nurses are being
laid off. Half of the 60 state health centers
and half of the Public Health nurses in
Northeastern Pennsylvania are slated to
disappear within the next 30 days to six
months.
These are the nurses who gave all those
H1N1 shots and u shots, who follow-up
with every person with tuberculosis or
HIV, to be sure they do not infect others.
It is these nurses who assisted in Red
Cross shelters during disasters such as
the oods last year and in 2011. It is these
nurses who monitor and invetervene with
contagious diseases such as food poison-
ing and hepatitis. They assist immigrants,
provide childhood and adult immuniza-
tions, provide community health educa-
tion on chronic diseases.
They collect data, they investigate, they
educate. That is Public Health Nursing.
Act 87 of 1996 stopped a move for
total privatization of Public Health and
legislated that the number of state health
centers and stafng levels were to remain
intact. This is being done quietly. This is
being done independently of the budget.

GOP can turn the tide
with new view, strategy
T
he primary political issue of the day is
saving the Republican Party and main-
taining a competitive two-party system.
There is a fascinating article on the
Internet that recommends that the Repub-
lican Party adopt a new world view and a
new philosophy of public service to gain
new voters.
This is probably a good strategy, as the
working class Reagan Democrats are still
out there. If the Republicans can capture
their votes they probably could turn the
tide.
Please read the article at http://voices.

would like the discussion to begin right

M
arch is Red Cross Month and the
American Red Cross recognizes our
Everyday Heroes who help their com-
munities by giving of themselves the
volunteers, blood donors, class takers and
nancial supporters who help us assist
those in need.
March is also a great time to become
part of the Red Cross by doing such things
as developing a preparedness plan for the
household, becoming a volunteer, giving
blood or taking a Red Cross class.
The Red Cross responds to nearly
70,000 disasters a year in this country. It
provides 24-hour support to members of
the military, veterans and their families;
collects and distributes about 40 percent
of the nations blood supply and trains
more than seven million people in rst

skills every year.
We thank those whose generosity

courage everyone to become an Everyday

Look to Bible, Jesus;
include God in society
Im writing in response to Individuals,
not God, are cure to our problems.
I have been a practicing Christian for 10
years and Mr. Sorenson is right. We have
to check in with our souls and realize that
God has been excluded from society.
You think we live in a most evangelized
Christian country in the world. You are
taking Christian totally out of context.
Evangelizing isnt having to ght, going
neck-to-neck with differences in moral
opinion. I am a sinner, a backslider, but
one fact my small white gray matter brain
knows is that God is the power, light
and strength that keeps this world in our
universe. So, to sit back and wait for God
to do the works you stated volunteer-
ing, helping mentally disabled, donating
money is a sentence that could be
written by a student in elementary school.
You are not thinking of your readers, be-
cause if you were, you would realize that
its depression for the elderly to mentally
process something like this. Im quite sure
that most educated people are aware of
the separation between church and state.
Its for the people such as you and I who
are concerned and interested who need to
take this problem to the cross.
If we act individually we will just allow
government to cave. I am not well-educat-
ed in history, but I think that our hearts
must pray to Jesus and read the Bible.

U.S. must work to become
more energy self-sufcient
I
listened to Brian Williams the other
night. He talked about our gas prices
going up $3.79 in Wilkes-Barre and still
rising. He gave several reasons for why
this happening, such as Hurricane Sandy
and a changie over to summer fuel. Yes,
Sandy has happened, but that is minor
compared to what is not being done.
Do you remember the cost of a gallon
of gasoline when President Obama took
ofce the very rst day of his rst term? It
was $1.86 a gallon.
Did you know that President Obamas
Secretary of Energy is quoted as saying
We have to nd a way to get Americans
paying what people pay for gas in Eu-
rope. At the time they were paying $9
per gallon for gas.
Do you remember this administration
killed the job-producing Keystone Pipe-
line? Many jobs were lost and if it could
have been completed, America would
be buying oil from our good neighbor,
Canada.
Here is something you may not know.
Four oil companies bid for the right to ex-
plore for oil in the Bering Sea and the Arc-
tic Ocean. This would be close to seven
islands that belong to the United States of
America. None of these companies ever
received a lease, yet it is estimated that
there could be up to three billion plus bar-
rels of oil in this area plus an abundance
of sea life.
The solution is to stop blaming Sandy,
stop strangling ourselves with restric-
tions and regulations and start producing
more of what we have here in the United
States. Grant leases to the oil companies
to explore in the Arctic Ocean and the
Bering Sea and prove this great nation of
ours can support itself.
Write to your senators and representa-
tives in Washington, D.C., and ask them
to look into these things and work for
their constituents. And above all, pray for
America, land of the free and home of the
brave. May God help us all.

LCCC wants its security ofcers to carry guns
HARRISBURG Luzerne
County Community College
President Tom Leary told a
state Senate panel Wednesday
his school was in the process of
implementing armed security
ofcers on its Nanticoke cam-
pus.
Its a decision that was
spurred by tragic events at col-
lege and even elementary school
campuses nationwide, and one
Leary sees as an unfortunate
necessity.
While state-related universi-
ties including Penn State, Tem-
ple, Pitt and Lincoln are permit-
ted, by law, to employ an armed
police force on their campuses,
community colleges are not.
Its an issue state Rep. Mike
Carroll, D-Avoca, is hoping to
address via a pair of bills he has
introduced in the Legislature
that would grant private and
community colleges the right to
form campus police forces in a
manner consistent with existing
authority granted to the state-
related universities.
Carrolls bills also would
permit private and community
college campus police to patrol
500 yards fromthe campus to al-
low for protection at off-campus
student housing, he said, which
is also in line with the powers
granted to state-related univer-
sity police.
Considering the highly
trained nature of our communi-
ty college and private university
security forces, I think its quite
appropriate to extend police
power to these individuals and
thereby augment the local and
state police forces which are of-
ten stretched very thin, Carroll
said.
Though LCCC is looking into
an armed security force, those
guards would not have arrest
powers, and Nanticoke or state
police still would need to be
called in to handle any crimes.
Currently, Kings College,
Penn State Wilkes-Barre, Wil-
kes University, Misericordia
University and Luzerne County
Community College employ un-
armed campus security ofcers
and rely on municipal police
ofcers when their presence
is needed. Spokespersons for
Kings, Penn State Wilkes-Barre,
Wilkes and Misericordia said
there are no discussions at this
time about arming their ofcers.
Penn State Hazleton does have
armed campus police ofcers.
Leary testied of the hard-
ships that college campuses
have with trying to protect a
large open campus lled with
thousands of commuter stu-
dents driving on and off campus
day and night.
Its not possible to restrict
access or lock it down this
leaves our institutions vulner-
able, Leary said. While most
college students and administra-
tors are aware that anythings
possible, he said, theres still a
feeling that something bad on
a grand scale cant happen on
their campus.
No one believes their col-
lege campus will fall victim of
a tragedy, but we must remain
vigilant, Leary told the panel.
Bill Barrett, a former Wilkes-
Barre police chief who now
heads the 12-person security

The largely secret investiga-
tion took 44 months, dating back
to 2009, and involved hundreds
of witnesses, Kane said at a press
conference Wednesday afternoon.
Evidence of secret gifts of
cash, travel and entertainment
and the payment of substantial
political contributions to public
ofcials and political organiza-
tions by private turnpike vendors
and their consultants demon-
strates that the turnpike operates
under a pay-to-play system that is
illegal and corrupt, Kane said.
The public, she said, has lost
untold millions of dollars, and
she added that the greatest im-
proper inuence involved the
turnpikes procurement process.
Already in prison
Mellow, 70, is serving a federal
prison for his conviction on charg-
es related to using Senate staff
to perform campaign work. The
state grand jury report charges
him with corrupt organizations,
bribery, bid rigging, conspiracy
and other offenses.
Attorney Dan Brier, who repre-
sented Mellowin the federal case,
did not return a phone message
Wednesday seeking comment on
the new allegations.
Other turnpike ofcials
charged are Joseph Brimmeier
of Pittsburgh, former chief ex-
ecutive ofcer; Mitchell Rubin of
Philadelphia, former chairman;
George Hatalowich of Harris-
burg, former chief operating of-
cer, and former workers Melvin
Shelton of Philadelphia and Ray-
mond Zajicek of Tarpon Springs,
Fla. The other two defendants are
turnpike vendors: Dennis Miller
of Harrisburg and Jeffrey Suzen-
ski of Pottstown.
Miller, Rubin, Hatalowich and
Suzenski were arraigned Wednes-
day and released on $100,000 un-
secured bail. Shelton and Brim-
meier are due in court today.
Arrangements were pending for
Mellow and Zajicek
One of the key witnesses before
the grand jury was Tony Lepore,
who served as chief of staff to
Mellow and to the current Demo-
cratic oor leader, Sen. Jay Costa,
of Allegheny County. Lepore tes-
tied under a grant of immunity.
Lepore explained that Senate
ofcials would learn of work be-
coming available at the turnpike
and would call Brimmeier and
tell him which rm, vendor or
consultant they wanted to steer
turnpike work to, the grand jury
wrote in an 88-page presentment
released with the charges. Gener-
ally, their requests were honored.
Mellow was actively involved
in steering contracts to particu-
lar vendors, the grand jury report
says. He also imposed fundrais-
ing obligations on turnpike staff
and vendors and personally ben-
eted from sports and entertain-
ment gifts.
Many of those gifts were sup-
plied by a regional vice president
of PNC Bank, which was seeking
to obtain work as a bond under-
writer for turnpike projects, the
report says.
According to the grand jury
report, the vice president, who is
not identied, met with Mellow
and his staff to seek information
on how the bank could obtain
work. The bank ofcial told the
grand jury he developed a person-
al relationship with Mellow and
took him to New York Yankees
games in a limousine, and often
bought food at the games that
was paid for by the bank.
All told, PNC paid $5,935 for
trips to Yankees games and other
events from 2006 to 2010, the re-
port says.
PNC had never gotten any
turnpike bond work until 2005,
when, the report says, Mellow in-
tervened on its behalf. From 2006
to 2012, it was paid $2.48 million
in bond underwriting fees.
Fred Solomon, a spokesman for
the PNC, declined to comment
on the report, other than to note
it does not allege any wrongdoing
by PNC ofcials.
Kane: 60-40 rule
Kane said the selection and
recommendation of turnpike
vendors followed what witnesses
identied as a 60-40 rule that
split up contracts among rms fa-
vored by Republicans and Demo-
crats: 60 percent of the turnpike
contracts went to the majority
party and 40 percent went to the
minority party.
Vendors who participated in
the pay-to-play system were re-
warded with multimillion-dollar
contracts, authorities said. The
reason they made these contri-
butions and provided these gifts
(is) because they knew that was
the way they would get these con-
tracts, said state police Commis-
sioner Frank Noonan.
The charges might revive ef-
forts to overhaul or even dissolve
the turnpike commission.
Sen. John Rafferty, chairman of
the Senate Transportation Com-
mittee, said Wednesday his com-
mittee wants to tighten up the
way that we do business and pre-
vent (this type of activity) from
happening in the future.
The turnpike gured tangen-
tially in the federal criminal case
against former state Sen. Vince
Fumo, who was convicted of
fraud and related charges in 2009.
His co-defendant and aide, Ruth
Arnao, was married to Rubin, the
turnpike chairman. Arnao was
also found guilty at that trial.
Fumo is not identied by name
in the jury report, but as Sena-
tor No. 6 he is described as hav-
ing a powerful inuence over the
turnpike. Political donations from
turnpike vendors were directed
to him and other senators of both
parties who had sway over deci-
sions related to the agency, the
report said.
Gov. Ed Rendell had ousted Ru-
bin in March 2009, citing what he
called overwhelming evidence
in trial testimony that Rubin had
been paid $150,000 for a no-work
job for the Appropriations Com-
mittee under Fumo, a Philadel-
phia Democrat. Fumo is currently
in a Kentucky federal prison.
Rendell also was not named,
but its clear he is the person in
the jury report described as Gu-
bernatorial Candidate No. 1, for
whom Brimmeier and Hatalo-
wich were allegedly collecting
political donations from vendors.
Rendell said he had not read
the report and was unaware of
any inappropriate activity, but
he praised Brimmeier for mak-
ing signicant improvements
in the turnpikes operation during
his tenure.
The Associated Press contrib-
uted to this story.
TURNPIKE
After initial mediation related
to the suit, the county autho-
rized technology upgrades in
the Public Defenders Ofce
and a larger ofce space pre-
viously occupied by register
of wills in the countys Penn
Place building in downtown
Wilkes-Barre, Dean said.
Dean disputes continued as-
sertions that the county had
refused to allow Flora to ll
ve vacant assistant public de-
fenders ofce positions before
Flora led legal action. Dean
said the positions had been
budgeted, but county Man-
ager Robert Lawton had not
received a formal request from
Flora required to ll the posi-
tions.
Flora said he cant detail
what additional positions hes
seeking because of the pend-
ing litigation, but he said the
ofce is still faced with over-
whelming caseloads totalling
about 4,000 annually. He cited
an example of one part-time
assistant with more than 200
open cases.
The ofce must defend low-
income clients who request
representation for misde-
meanor or felony charges. It
also handles juvenile and state
parole cases and represents
people facing involuntary com-
mitment to mental-health fa-
cilities and criminal contempt
in protection-from-abuse cas-
es, he said.
One full-time assistant pub-
lic defender handles about 450
involuntary commitment hear-
ings annually and must regu-
larly travel to mental-health
facilities in Danville, Philadel-
phia and Clarks Summit, he
said.
He also said the ofces four
investigators are often pulled
from case research because
they must examine the nanc-
es and backgrounds of appli-
cants to ensure they qualify for
representation.
I dont have an intake of-
cer to run all these checks,
Flora said.
Flora had temporarily halted
applications for some types of
representation, citing stafng
shortages, but was later or-
dered to service everyone who
qualies.
He said a new computerized
case management system that
should be operational in April
will help staffers by allowing
them to access and share les
online. He used about $12,000
in funds budgeted for the ve
positions the county did not
allow to be lled to buy the
system.
Flora doesnt expect the
burden on his ofce to relax
because the county has a high
poverty level and increasing
percentage of more serious
crimes.
His litigation and push for
more staff have made him un-
popular among many citizens
who regularly attend county
council meetings. Some of
them circulated a link to the
USA Today article Wednesday.
Hazleton resident Kathy
Dobash, who is running for
a Republican county council
nomination, forwarded her
response through the email
chain, saying Flora is full of
excuses and should not be
hired as the permanent chief
public defender under home
rule.
Nine people, including Flo-
ra, have applied for the chief
public defender post, one of
eight division head positions
that must be lled by the man-
ager with council conrma-
tion.
Flora said he has urged
county ofcials to push legis-
lators to start providing state
funding for indigent defense.
Im on record advocating
for state funding, but until that
happens, the obligation falls on
the county to fulll that consti-
tutional mandate, he said.
FLORA
again, testimony focused on
emergency evacuation plans,
the need for additional funding
to offset security upgrade costs
and the idea that more and
more schools and day care cen-
ters need to be more vigilant.
Senate Veterans Affairs
and Emergency Preparedness
Committee heard from 11 who
testied, including Tom Leary,
the president of the Luzerne
County Community College
in Nanticoke, Bill Barrett, the
director of LCCCs campus
security and safety ofce, and
Bill Grant, the chief execu-
tive ofcer of the Hildebrandt
Learning Centers, which has
44 child care centers in Penn-
sylvania.
Emergency preparedness
plans for all campuses that
educate children are being
looked at more in the wake
of multiple deadly shootings
across the nation.
Grant said each of the Hil-
debrandt Learning Centers
has locked doors accessible
only with a key fab or code and
noted this was not common
practice across the state. He
suggested the Department of
Public Welfare should require
a locked-door system as a li-
censing requirement.
But some senators were con-
cerned about added costs and
potential fallout, including
smaller child care centers clos-
ing down.
Thats the last thing
we want to see, Sen. Judy
Schwank, D-Fleetwood, said.
Grant, who is also a Dallas
Township supervisor, said he
knows it is a cost issue but its
one more rewall to protect
our children.
The Hildebrandt Learning
Centers has local sites at Kings
College and in Lehman, Plains
and Dallas townships and
Shickshinny. Grant said armed
guards are not at the major-
ity of the centers, but after the
Oklahoma City Federal Build-
ing bombing in 1995, the feder-
al government began providing
an armed guard for the centers
location in the Social Security
Building in Plains Township.
That is a rarity, not common
practice, said Diane Barber,
the director of the Pennsylva-
nia Child Care Association.
I dont know of any child
care centers with an armed
guard except in exceptional
circumstances, Barber said.
Grant said the child care
industry has changed dramati-
cally over the past two decades
as providing safety and protec-
tion for staff and children has
become almost as important
as educating the children.
Twenty years ago, we didnt
have security systems. We
didnt have to, Grant said. But
thats changed and, he said,
parents appreciate that extra
level of protection.
Also discussing the cost of
increased security was Livia
Riley, the superintendent of
schools for the Diocese of Har-
risburg.
While saying, I think no
school is safe, she noted
diocese schools do not have
armed guards or police, most-
ly because of funding reasons.
Though if it were feasible,
some parochial schools would,
one panelist said.
All of our diocese schools
said theyd be interested in
the availability of a school re-
source ofcer, said Sean P.
McAleer, the director of edu-
cation for the Pennsylvania
Catholic Conference, which
includes all Catholic Diocese
schools in the state.

Late run by Villa Maria dooms Royals
BETHLEHEM It was the

Villa Maria scored nine of the
nal 13 points
to end Holy Re-
deemers season
44-40 in the PIAA
Class 3A girls
basketball second
round Wednesday
at Freedom High School.
We played extremely hard and
left it all on the oor, Redeemer
coach Chris Parker said. We had
an extremely successful season. I
feel upset for the seniors, but for
the younger girls, the future is
bright.
Both defenses bogged down the
opposing offenses, creating a game
that went down to the nal sec-
onds. The contest featured eight
lead changes and seven ties, with
neither team leading by more than
ve throughout.
The Royals (21-8) were solid
in their halfcourt defense, hold-
ing Villa to 31 percent shooting
in the game. The Hurricanes (23-
5) forced 12 turnovers in the rst
half, many on passes ticketed for
Redeemers leading scorer, Alexis
Lewis.
Defensively we played well,
Hurricanes coach Kathy McCart-
ney said. We knew Lewis was
their top player. Jackie (Carlin) did
a great job (ve steals) against her
until she got into foul trouble.

Up to seven teams could be in the running
for No. 1 seeds in the NCAA mens tourna-
ment, the chairman of the selection commit-
tee said Wednesday, providing a lot more
uncertainty than a year ago.
Mike Bobinski, who is also the athletic
director at Xavier, said the coveted seeds
were more obvious in 2012, when the only
suspense was who would get the last of the
No. 1 spots.
A year ago, I think the one line of the
tournament and bracket was in pretty clear
focus, said Bobinski, who is leaving Xavier
to take over as Georgia Techs AD after the
tournament. This year looks a little bit dif-
ferent. I anticipate there will be a number of
teams well be considering and discussing
for that one line of the bracket.
Not surprising, given a wide-open season
where no team has established itself as clear-
ly the class of the eld.
Its probably as big as its ever been,
Bobinski said, talking about potential No.
1 seeds. Im not sure its any larger than a
couple years back, but theres probably never
been any more for the top line.
A year ago, everyone knew Kentucky,
Syracuse and North Carolina would get the
top spots, even though all lost in their con-

she swore she could reach the
stars.
She landed almost perfectly, in a
pool of personal triumph.
In her rst and only PIAA ap-

Wednesday with a score of 399.50,
giving Holy Redeemer the rst

PENGUINS
WORCESTER, Mass. - The
Worcester Sharks scored four
power play goals on the way to
a 5-1 win over the Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton Penguins at the DCU
Center Wednesday night.
In the midst of a season-high,
seven-game road swing, the Pen-
guins, possessing the American
Hockey Leagues top rated pen-
alty kill coming in at 87.4 per-
cent took a hit
to their statis-
tical perch as
the home team
tallied twice
in the second
period with a
man-up.
The two
goals sufced
to give the
Sharks the pos-
itive result.
Warren Pe-
ters notched
the lone mark-
er, his tenth
of the year for
WBS at 10:32
of the third period. Joe Morrow
and Philip Samuelsson added as-
sists.
Pens head coach John Hynes
was primarily concerned with
the effort in a all-encompassing
sense, rather than hitting on the
penalty kill efforts.
It wasnt so much those
goals against, said Hynes,
whose club is 2-2 on the swing.
It was just the game in general.
They (Worcester) were ready to
play. They didnt just outplay us
on the power play, they did in
every facet of the game.
Hynes dismissed the well-
worn theory that fatigue has
set in among his players on a
lengthy road ordeal.
No its not (a factor).
The Penguins had blanked
the Sharks in their only previous
meeting this season 3-0 on Jan.
5 at home. In that outing the
Pens had a clean slate with the
disadvantage, killing off all ve
Sharks opportunities.
The win gave the Sharks, who
are currently out of the playoff
picture, into a tie for ninth place.
Despite taking the majority of
possessions with an advantage,
Worcester had a minimal 15-13
edge on shots on goal over the
Pens in the up-tempo, but score-
less rst period.
Sharks center Mark Vieden-
sky opened the scoring at 16
seconds of the middle period on
the home teams initial power-
play goal.

IndIans
Team joins Harlem Shake
craze with video
GOOdYEaR, ariz. The Cleve-
land Indians have taken their swing at
the Harlem shake.
With new manager Terry Francona
dressed as a big baby, Jason Giambi
unrecognizable in a full-body green
suit and nick swisher in an Ohio state
football uniform, the team lmed their
version of the viral video craze earlier
this week. The short lm begins with
Francona addressing his players in the
clubhouse before he begins to dance
across the oor. seconds later, the
room erupts with players donned in
colorful costumes.
The dance is to the song of the
same name, with thousands of videos
popping up on the Internet in recent
months.
The Indians said the video gener-
ated over 34,000 page views on the
teams blog in under four hours after
its release.

Strasburg to start
on opening day
VIERa, Fla. stephen strasburg
will make his second opening day start
for the Washington nationals when the
national league East champions open
the season at home against the Miami
Marlins on april 1.
strasburg went 15-6 with a 3.16 ERa
last season before he was shut down
after 159 1-3 innings. The nationals
did not want to tax his arm in his rst
season back from Tommy John sur-
gery. The decision to keep strasburg
on an innings count with Washington
headed to the playoffs was the subject
of debate last season.
The nationals lost to st. louis in a
deciding fth game of the nl division
series last season. There is no innings
restriction planned for strasburg this
season.
ROYals
Ex-top pick Hochevar is
headed to bullpen
sURPRIsE, ariz. The Kansas
City Royals are sending former no. 1
overall draft pick luke Hochevar to the
bullpen after more than ve seasons of
shaky results in the starting rotation.
Manager ned Yost announced the
decision Wednesday. Hochevar had
been competing with Bruce Chen, Will
smith and luis Mendoza for the fth
spot in the Royals revamped rotation
his spring.
Hochevar, who is scheduled to make
$4.56 million this season, is 38-59 with
a 5.39 ERa. Hell operate as a long
reliever and could work back into the
rotation, though its possible the Roy-
als will seek to trade him or offer his
release.
The Royals also placed right-
hander Guillermo Moscoso on waivers
Wednesday. He was claimed in novem-
ber and was 0-1 with a 9.00 ERa in
three spring training appearance.
TIGERs
Outelder Boesch released
laKEland, Fla. The detroit
Tigers have released outelder Bren-
nan Boesch.
a team spokesman announced
the move on Twitter on Wednesday.
Boesch hit .240 with 12 home runs in
132 games last year, but was left off
the postseason roster. He was in the
mix for playing time this season in
left eld, but detroit has other players
who, like Boesch, hit left-handed. andy
dirks and Quintin Berry have been
competing for time at that position.
The 27-year-old Boesch tweaked an
oblique muscle at the start of spring
training. He also missed the entire
2011 postseason because of a right
thumb injury that required surgery.
detroit also signed Torii Hunter this
past offseason to play right eld.

KIssIMMEE, Fla. Fresh
from pitching against solid at-
lanta hitters, Jake Westbrook
faced a far trickier test: Guess
howmuch fans paid for box seats
to watch the exhibition game.
Hmmm, I have no idea,
the st. louis starter ventured.
Twenty bucks?
Gotcha! $54 for top tickets
sold Tuesday at the Braves ball-
park at Walt disney World Re-
sort.
Wow, Westbrook said.
all over Florida and arizona,
teams are paying the price.
spring training attendance is off
and several things are to blame,
aside frompricey tickets early
start, cold weather and lineups
depleted by injured stars and
players dispatched to the World
Baseball Classic.
The dip is nearly 14 percent
lower than it was on this date
last year, sTaTs said.
Games started about a week
earlier this season because play-
ers wanted to get in shape for
the World Baseball Classic. That
meant games were scheduled
before many fans arrived for va-
cation and spring break. By the
end of February, several teams
had already played for a week.
I think we started about eight
or nine days too early. That
means a whole lot, Philadelphia
manager Charlie Manuel said.
The weather hasnt been ideal,
either a freak winter storm
out West and a cold snap down
south.
normally a big draw wherever
they go, the Yankees played to a
crowd of 3,213 when they visited
the Houston astros. Then again,
the glitziest name in new Yorks
split-squad lineup that day was
Matt diaz.
The Orioles often sold out
home games versus the likes of
the Yankees, Boston and Phila-
delphia. not this year in sara-
sota, Fla.
With the WBC and a whole
different start, people plan
spring training according to
spring break. People have other
things going on in their life, Bal-
timore manager Buck showalter
said.
Big league exhibitions began
on Feb. 22 and averaged 5,789
fans through March 12. They
started on March 2 last year and
averaged 6,703 by that same
date, with several teams on their
way to setting attendance re-
cords.
Major league Baseball drew
30,895 per game during the
regular season last year, its best
mark since 2008.
Oakland as manager Bob
Melvin noticed the empty seats
in Phoenix.
It seems like its down some,
he said last weekend. The
schedule seems more spread out
this year. a lot of people come
to games with certain dates in

Harpers big day leads Nats over Mets
ClEaRWaTER, Fla. an en-
couraging spring for the Philadelphia
Phillies took a downward turn after
Roy Halladays last start sounded the
alarms.
With more than two weeks left until
the regular season opener, the Phil-
lies have one major question still un-
answered. at least Ryan Howard and
Chase Utley seem on the right track,
though.
Things are generally going pretty
well, general manager Ruben amaro
Jr. said Wednesday. Ryan is getting
closer to being 100 percent. Hes not
going to have all of his strength back
and front. an achilles injury takes a re-
ally long time to completely get all the
strength back, but hes moving around
better every day and Chase is running
around like a 28-year-old, so thats a
good sign.
Indeed it is for the offense.
The Phillies need Utley and How-
ard, their nos. 3 and 4 hitters, to be
healthy and perform up to their old
standards. after all, thats why theyre
paying them a combined $35.3 million
this season. Howard has been out-
standing this spring, hitting .333 with
four homers and 12 RBIs in 15 games.
Utley hit his rst homer Tuesday and
the fact hes playing at this point after
sitting out all of spring each of the last
two years is a positive step.
as for Halladay, he cant be expected
to pitch like he did in 2010-11. But the
Phillies need him to be better than
last year when he was 11-8 with a 4.49
ERa. Halladay got roughed up by the
detroit Tigers on Tuesday. His velocity
was down and he had trouble locating
his pitches. He immediately dismissed
any injury, but manager Charlie Manu-
el and pitching coach Rich dubee were
concerned.
amaro played it cool.
Obviously doc hasnt pitched as
well as we wouldve liked so far, am-
aro said. But he has three more shots
at it and hopefully he can start pitch-
ing with the type of stuff hes accus-
tomed to, and well see where it goes
from there.
Halladay is a key part of a rotation
that includes Cole Hamels and Cliff
lee. If healthy, that trio is as formi-
dable as any in the majors. But an
average Halladay puts more pressure
on Hamels and lee to be dominant.
Theyre making a combined $36.5
million this season, so expectations
should be high for them.
Beyond the big three, the Phillies
entered spring training with questions
about their outeld and bullpen. so
far, domonic Brown has taken control
of one outeld spot. But darin Ruf ap-
pears to need more work learning to
play left eld.
Brown, a former top prospect, went
into Wednesday nights game at the
new York Yankees batting .400 with
three homers. Ruf was hitting just .188
with no homers. He had two errors
and was still adjusting to the transition
from rst base.
domonic has stepped up and had a
good spring, amaro said. Hes mov-
ing around well in the outeld and
seems to be settling in.
Ruf led the minors with 38 hom-
ers last year and is trying to crack the
starting lineup after spending most
of 2012 in double-a. But the Phillies
cant afford to put him out there if hes
a defensive liability.
Weve thrown a lot of things at
him, amaro said. Hes a kid who is
basically coming from double-a and
trying to making a major league club
that wants to contend, and hes trying
to learn a new position so all of those
things are very difcult. Its not easy.
We still have some time to decide what
we want to do with him. Hes still go-
ing to get some reps and have oppor-
tunities.
The Phillies signed delmon Young,
the alCs MVP for detroit last year,
to be their everyday right elder. But
Young is still recovering from ankle
surgery and is expected to be ready be-
tween april 15 and May 1.
This next week or so hell do more
activity with his legs and more lateral
movement, amaro said. Hell do
more in next week to 10 days. Well
put him in games and see if he can get
acclimated again to right eld, where
hes most comfortable.
Halladay raises concern, but bats look ready

Redeemer scored the rst four
points of the third quarter to
knot it at 23. Everything the
Hurricanes did seemed to be
quickly answered by the Royals.
Or vice versa.
Hurricane senior Lisa Mi-
rarchis jumper from the wing
was followed by Alyssa Platkos
layup.
A Mirarchi runner over
Lewis was erased by a Lewis
layup.
Redeemers Alana Wilson
nailed a three-pointer on a kick-
out pass from Lydia Lawson (her
third consecutive assist), only to
see Carlin answer for Villa.
We were right where we
needed to be, Parker said. We
had a three-point lead (30-27
midway through the third). But
we had a couple of turnovers
and a miss or two. If we could
have moved forward from the
three-point lead, it might have
been different at the end.
Katie Mooney, who came off
the bench for four points late in
the rst half for the Hurricanes,
added a backbreaking bucket
early in the fourth. Her short
jumper made it 39-36 with six
minutes to go, and after a Re-
deemer miss, allowed Villa to go
into a stall.
We started to gamble at the
end, going for steals, Parker
said. And we did get a couple
there. This team is a very, very
good free-throw shooting team.
They made something like 20-
of-21 their last game.
The drama grew as Villa, a
70-percent shooting team from
the free-throw line, missed the
front end of 1-and-1s on con-
secutive trips to the line with
its lead stuck at 41-38. When
Molly Namiotka missed her frst
of two with 22 seconds left, Mc-
Cartney had to do something.
Everyones saying you called
timeout to ice your own shoot-
er, McCartney said. I didnt
want, if she did miss, to give up
a three. We werent really ready
for it. But I knew shed make the
shot.
Namiotka made the second to
extend the lead to 42-38. Law-
son made a little leaner with
6.9 seconds remaining, but two
free throws by Mirarchi put the
game away.
We battled. We didnt have
the best night, but at this time of
year its not about style points,
McCartney said. We knew
they were in four trouble down
the stretch. Lewis had four. We
knew they couldnt do anything
against us.
Lewis had 13 points, 13 re-
bounds, three assists, ve steals
and two blocks. Platko added
11 points, and Lawson had fve
assists while helping the Royals
take care of the ball they had
just four turnovers in the second
half.
Carlin had 14 points and sev-
en rebounds for Villa. Mararchi
led the way with 17 points.
Villa Maria advances to play
Scranton Prep in the state quar-
ternals Saturday.

ference tournaments. Michigan
State received the fnal No. 1
after a victory over Ohio State
in the Big Ten title game, just
hours before the 68-team eld
was announced.
This year, Gonzaga is ranked
No. 1 in The Associated Press
rankings for the rst time ever,
but doesnt come from one of
the glamour conferences. Sec-
ond-ranked Duke is projected as
the top team in the RPI, a cru-
cial component in the selection
committee process. Traditional
powerhouses Indiana, Louisville,
Georgetown and Kansas are also
in contention for top seeds, with
their nal seeding likely depen-
dent on how they do in their con-
ference tournaments.
I cant speak for the entire
committee, but as I walk into
our process this year I would
tell you Ive probably got seven
teams in my mind for the rst
four spots, Bobinski said. That
will come into focus in the next
few days, but its more than four
for the top four.
The top seeds are crucial, be-
cause the selection committee
makes a special effort to ensure
those teams play close to home
in the opening rounds and, if pos-
sible, wont have to face a team
at any point up to the Final Four
where they would be at a denite
geographical disadvantage.
While there have been some
questions about the No. 1 teams
getting too much of a favorable
ride, Bobinski doesnt buy that
argument at all.
I dont feel at all that were
over-favoring the top seeds.
Theyve earned that, he said.
Were not setting out to advan-
tage themany further than what
theyve earned by being the best
four teams in the country.
Bracketology has become its
own little industry, with numer-
ous Web sites and media out-
lets projecting for weeks, even
months, what the NCAA might
look like. Thats all well and
good, Bobinski said, but it was
little impact on the selection
committee.
We know all those folks and
enjoy what they do, he said.
They react on a day to day, even
half to half, basis, I understand
that. It helps to drive interest
and build interest. But we have
a different circumstance here.
We allow all the dust to settle,
and then evaluate it in totality.
After the 31 automatic quali-
ers are set, the committee will
pick the remainder of the eld
and do all the seeding. Bobinski
and the other members planned
to get started on the process
Wednesday, taking an early vote
to identify which teams are most
likely to be under consideration
for those at-large bids.
Theres no minimums for
how many teams, and theres no
nality until Sunday, he said.
Well take every bit of time to
make sure we get this as right as
we can.
There could be a number of
crucial decisions to make in the
nal hours, at both the top and
the bottom of the bracket.
We would love to have the
top line coming into Sunday,
Bobinski said. But were going
to do what the eld tells us to
do. Well allow for some adjust-
ments at the last minute. In an
ideal world, that wouldnt be the
case.
NCAA
I cant speak for the
entire committee, but as
I walk into our process
this year I would tell you
Ive probably got seven
teams in my mind for
the rst four spots.
Mike Bobinski
chairman of the selection committee
races, while Stepniak picked
up a second state medal as
part of the Mountaineers
surprising 200 freestyle relay
team.
Spencer had the highest
showing from the WVC,
grabbing ffth in the 200 IM
in a time of 1:58.24. Grzech
fnished seventh in the 100
buttery - moving up six slots
from his state seeding - with
a time of 52:28, while Step-
niak nished seventh in the
50 freestyle by cracking the
22-second mark for the fourth
straight time to register a
21.76. And his 200 free relay
team nished eighth after
originally believing it missed
the eight-team nals eld.
It feels amazing, Stepniak
said of his two medals, espe-
cially since after preliminaries
we werent sure if we were go-
ing to make the fnals. We were
originally ninth, but another
team was disqualied. Any
way (to medal) is great to me.
Its another medal I can put in
my room.
And his Dallas teammate
Marcus Wagner made room
for himself in the 200 individ-
ual medley relay consolation
eld, nishing fourth in the
night race and 12th overall in
the state.
Not a bad frst day at all,
whistled Dallas swim coach
Romayne Mosier. Its really
important to do your best.
Marcus Wagner, he bettered
his place. Thats the goal.
Spencer and his Tunkhan-
nock teammates reached their
goals by exceeding expecta-
tions on the boys 200 medley
relay team, earning a spot on
the consolation heat, along
with Holy Redeemers girls
200 freestyle relay team.
But it was Williams who
stole the show.
The daughter of Dan and
Kimberly Williams of Ha-
nover Twp. lled the day with
poise, precision and passion
for perfection while chasing
District 7s McKenzie Stelter
of Mohawk to the wire.
Just 2.2 points separated the
two entering the last dive of
the day - but an easy degree
of diffculty for Williams at
the nish cost her a shot at
state gold. Stelter won it with
a score of 406.70, but it was
Williams who felt as if she was
caught up in a golden mo-
ment.
I feel like I really did ac-
complish something today,
Williams said.
She made up ground fast to
reach second in the state.
She always had the ability,
Holy Redeemer swimming
coach Maura Pawlenok said.
She just didnt have a lot of
condence.
But the presence of Rob
Jacobs destroyed Williams
self-doubts. The long-time
Wyoming Valley West diving
coach served in dual role with
the Spartans and Redeemer
divers this year, and Williams
wowed everyone during her
nal high school season.
She broke Holy Redeemers
school diving records three
times in four weeks, then
handily won the District 2
championship.
Still, Williams was seeded
fourth entering state competi-
tion, but didnt back down - to
competition or a case of the
jitters.
So many nerves, Williams
said. Throughout the whole
thing I was a little nervous.
She didnt show it.
Williams was sitting in
second place after the prelimi-
nary round, then settled into
third place entering the nals.
Thats when Williams ratch-
eted things up, trading spots
with Stelter at the top of the
leaderboard through the last
round of dives.
She aced her rst two at-
tempts of the championship
round, scoring a 37.95 for her
backward somersault with a 1
1/2 twist, then captivating the
judges with a 2 1/2 somer-
sault tuck that earned her a
total of 39.60 on the judges
cards.
This was my rst state
meet, will be my last state
meet, Williams said. There
would be no second chances.
I was going to go in all-
out.
She emerged with a perfor-
mance to cherish.
Were thrilled with sec-
ond, Jacobs said.

streak is in a season that has
them running away with the
Eastern Conference.
They opened a ve-game
road trip as 8-point favor-
ites over the slumping Sixers,
a team theyve defeated three
times during the streak. They
beat Atlanta on Tuesday for
streak win No. 19, then made
the ight to Philadelphia that
put them in just before dawn.
You get sleep when you can
and do your job, center Chris
Bosh said before the game.
Maybe fatigue played a bit of
a role in Miamis inability to tru-
ly put away the Sixers. Led by
Young, the Sixers opened the
third quarter on a 16-8 run that
helped slice the lead to four. Mi-
ami led 71-66 at the end of the
quarter.
The Sixers hung around in
the fourth, too. Dorell Wright
hit a 3-pointer to make it a six-
point game and he followed
with a steal and fast-break dunk
to cut it 82-78. Sixers fans com-
ing to see a slice of history were
suddenly rooting for history de-
nied. Philadelphias fans started
going wild to the make some
noise sign on the video board
and started singing the catchy
anthem, 1-2-3-4-5-Sixers!
Jrue Holiday brought them
back with a 3-pointer for an 83-
82 lead with 5:26 left and had
fans chanting, Beat the Heat!
Ray Allen silenced them with
a big 3 in front of the Sixers
bench for an 89-86 lead. Bosh
scored to make it 91-89.
It wasnt enough, at least not
yet. Holiday, the All-Star point
guard, showed no fear of the
moment when he dunked on
James for the tying bucket.
James came right back made
one of two free throws for a 92-
91 lead. Holiday dribbled the
ball into Boshs leg, then off his
own foot, leading to Wades tip
after James missed twice at the
rim.
The Heat escaped with a
scare and No. 20.
Unless they wear down,
theres no reason to think the
Heat cant keep the streak go-
ing toward 33. The rest of the
road trip includes games at Mil-
waukee, Toronto, Boston and
Cleveland.
Fans in Heat jerseys dotted
the arena and dozens packed
the baseline three rows deep
snapping pictures of Miamis
pregame drills. James wowed
them with some around-the-
back reverses that served as a
sneak peek for what was ahead.
James, the reigning MVP,
turned the second quarter into
his own dunk contest. It helped
that he didnt have any competi-
tion.
With fair, James threw down
thunderous dunks about ev-
ery time he touched the ball.
His best came on a reverse he
brought between the legs that
had the sellout crowd of 20,398
Oooohhhh! in amazement.
His dunk capped a 17-2 run that
put the Heat up 10 and helped
themcruise toward a 51-39 half-
time lead.
But the rst half wasnt all
about James dazzling dunks.
The Heat had 14 assists on 19
baskets and Shane Battier came
off the bench to hit a pair of
lead-stretching 3-pointers. Its
the kind of teamwork that has
the Heat rolling.
You have to have a unique
group that are willing to sacri-
ce, a unique group willing to
keep perspective of what were
playing for and not get caught
up in all the noise outside,
coach Erik Spoelstra said be-
fore the game. There are so
many distractions, not only in
this league, but everyday life.
Spoelstra could talk to Heat
president Pat Riley on how to
handle the distractions that
come with a record winning
streak. Riley played for the Lak-
ers team that won 33 straight
games. But while the two talk
daily, Spoelstra said Miamis
streak hasnt been discussed.

were kept off the score sheet.

Immediately in front of us

We have to go over what hap-
pened and make sure we are

were tonight.
PENS
MIAMI With the score tied
and two outs, Puerto Ricos Alex
Rios kept running from second
base.
Rios scored the go-ahead run
without a play, and the Puerto
Ricans rallied to oust Italy from
the World Baseball Classic with
a 4-3 victory Wednesday night.
The Puerto Ricans went hit-
less in their rst 12 at-bats with
runners in scoring position but
still overcame a 3-0 defcit to
score once in the sixth inning
and three times in the eighth.
Rios crossed the plate standing
up for the nal run on a ground-
er to shortstop, which Jack San-
tora backhanded before throw-
ing wide to rst.
That was one of four misplays
by Italian shortstops, including
three in the sixth by Anthony
Granato, who allowed an un-
earned run to score and was then
replaced by Santora. The Italians
blew a 4-0 lead in a loss Tuesday
to the Dominican Republic.
The Puerto Ricans advance to
Fridays game against the win-
ner of Thursday nights game

Dominican Republic. R.A. Dick-

NOME, Alaska A 53-year-
old former champion won the
Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race
to become the oldest winner of
Alaskas grueling test of endur-
ance.
Mitch Seavey and 10 dogs
crossed the Nome nish line to
cheering crowds at 10:39 p.m.
Alaska time Tuesday.
This is for all of the gentle-
men of a certain age, he said
on a live stream posted to the
Iditarod website after complet-
ing the race in temperatures
just above zero. His race time
in the 1,000-mile race was nine
days, 7 hours and 39 minutes.
Seaveys victory came after
a dueling sprint against Aliy
Zirkle, last years runner-up,
along the frozen, wind-whipped
Bering Sea coast. Zirkle crossed
the nish line 24 minutes after
her rival, who later greeted her.
You did a good job, Seavey
told Zirkle as a camera crew
lmed them. Youre going to
win this thing, probably more
than once.
At a news conference after
the race, Zirkle gave credit to
her rivals strategy.
Mitch has this ability to
sit on the sidelines and refuel
because he knows he needs
to refuel, while everyone else
is zooming by, she said. Its
smart, and thats probably why
you won.
For reaching Nome rst,
Seavey wins $50,400 and a
2013 pickup truck. The rest of
the $600,000 purse will be split
among the next 29 mushers to
cross the nish line under the
famed burled arch on Front
Street, a block from the sea.
At the nish, both mushers
rushed to pet their dogs, with
Seavey singling out his main
leader, 6-year-old Tanner. He
posed for photos with the dog
and another leader, Taurus,
wearing yellow garlands.
Zirkles dogs wagged their
tails as she praised them.
My dog team is my heart,
she said.
The pair jostled for the lead,
with Zirkle never more than a
few miles behind in the nal
stretch.
I just now stopped looking
over my shoulder, Seavey said
after crossing the nish line.
Also trailing by a dozen or so
miles was four-time champion
Jeff King, who was followed by
a cluster of contenders, includ-
ing Seaveys son, Dallas. Last
year at age 25, he became the
youngest Iditarod winner, beat-
ing Zirkle to the nish line by
one hour.

LENZERHEIDE, Switzerland
Lindsey Vonn had the weath-
er on her side this time when it
came down to deciding a World
Cup title.
Fog canceled racing on
Wednesday, giving the injured
Vonn a record sixth straight
World Cup downhill title without
having to show up on the moun-
tain. The title comes ve weeks
after a crash and season-ended
knee injury for the American.
The cancellation allowed
Vonn to retain her title just
one point ahead of overall cham-
pion Tina Maze of Slovenia.
Omg I won the World Cup
Downhill title!!!!! 6 in a rowwith
a bum knee! Vonn wrote on her
Facebook page.
Two years ago, Vonn was de-
nied a chance at a fourth straight
overall title by similar weather
conditions in Lenzerheide. The
season-ending giant slalom was

points to her good friend Maria

Everything in life comes back
around, wrote Vonn, whose
title streak is a downhill record
in 47 seasons of mens and wom-

crystal globes in a season

Wes Welker sure knows how
to pick his quarterbacks.
The star receiver, TomBradys
favorite target, is leaving New
England and heading to Denver,
where hell join Peyton Man-
ning and the Broncos.
Also getting new deals were
Reggie Bush in Detroit, Dashon
Goldson in Tampa Bay, and
even Ray Lewis with ESPN.
Day 2 of the NFLs free agency
frenzy was highlighted by Welk-
er grabbing a two-year deal with
the Broncos, who had the AFCs
best regular-season record last
year. He gives Manning one of
the steadiest targets the four-
time league MVP ever has had.
Broncos boss John Elway said
on Twitter: Excited to have
Wes join the Broncos. His pro-
duction & toughness will be a
great asset!
The best slot receiver in the
league, Welker caught 118 pass-
es for 1,354 yards and six TDs
last season.
Denver added defensive tack-
le Terrance Knighton, too.
Bush agreed to a four-year
deal and could ll a huge hole at
running back. The Lions havent
been able to count on 2010 rst-
round draft pick Jahvid Best,
whose career is in doubt be-
cause of concussion issues.
Its a running backs dream,
Bush said. One of the reasons
I wanted to come here is to be
able to bring a balanced attack.
Bush adds to a strong offense
led by record-setting All-Pro re-
ceiver Calvin Johnson. The sec-
ond overall pick in 2006 by New
Orleans, Bush rushed for 986
yards for Miami last season af-
ter gaining 1,086 yards in 2011,
his rst year with the Dolphins.
The thing that was impor-
tant to us was not just the talent
of Reggie Bush, but also the way
those talents complemented
the other players we have on of-
fense, coach JimSchwartz said.
That was really the basis of our
interest in Reggie.
The Lions also landed safety
Glover Quin and defensive end
Jason Jones and retained cor-
nerback Chris Houston.
All-Pro safety Goldson gets a
ve-year contract worth $41.25
million. He receives $8.25 mil-
lion per year and $22 million in
guaranteed money. He spent the
past two seasons on one-year
contracts with the 49ers, includ-
ing last year with the franchise
tag for $6.2 million.
Hard work really pays off. I
remember signing up to play
football, hiding it from my
mom, as a youngster grow-
ing up in Harbor City, Calif.,
Goldson said. My journey, I
wouldnt say it was rough, but it
was a little rocky.
Cleveland remained active,
agreeing to terms with lineback-
er Quentin Groves and tackle
Desmond Bryant to further
bolster a defense that added
Ravens linebacker Paul Kruger
hours after free agency began.
With the additions of Paul
and Desmond, we believe that
we have signicantly improved
our defense overall, particularly
our front seven, Browns CEO
Joe Banner said.
Kruger is one of many Su-
per Bowl winners to leave the
Ravens, including hard-hitting
safety Bernard Pollard, who was
released Wednesday. The big-
gest loss for Baltimore was an
expected departure: Lewis an-
nounced in early January that
he was ending his 17-year ca-
reer. Then he led the Ravens to
the championship.
On Wednesday, he joined
ESPN as a studio analyst an
intense one, no doubt.
Im ready to bring the same
level of passion to this next
phase of my life as I brought to
the eld during my years as a
player, Lewis said.
Baltimore signed defensive
lineman Chris Canty, offensive
lineman Ramon Harewood and
running back Damien Berry.
Kansas City added corner-
back Dunta Robinson, receiver
Donnie Avery and offensive
lineman Bryan Mattison to the
three free agents it signed the
previous day when the market-
place opened.
The Chiefs, who have the No.
1 pick in next months draft after
a 2-14 season, agreed to deals
with tight end Anthony Fasano,
defensive tackle Mike DeVito,
and quarterback Chase Daniel
on Tuesday, when they also nal-
ized the trade with San Francisco
for starting QB Alex Smith.
After hiring Andy Reid as
coach and John Dorsey as gen-
eral manager, the Chiefs signed
wide receiver Dwayne Bowe
and punter Dustin Colquitt to
long-term deals and franchised
left tackle Branden Albert.

Boston Celtics forward Chris Wilcox (44) goes up for a shot
against Toronto Raptors center Jonas Valanciunas, left, as for-
ward Amir Johnson defends at right during the rst quarter of
an NBA game in Boston on Wednesday.
BOSTON Kevin Garnett
scored 12 points, passing Jerry
West for 15th on the NBAs
career scoring list, and Paul
Pierce joined him among the
top 20 scorers in league history
with 15 points as the Boston
Celtics beat the Toronto Rap-
tors 112-88 on Wednesday
night.
Garnett needed four points
to pass West (25,192 points)
and Pierce entered the game
nine points shy of tying Charles
Barkley (23,757) for 20th.
Garnett hit a bank shot with
10:03 left in the second quarter
and received a standing ova-
tion when his milestone was
announced during a stoppage a
few minutes later. Boston fans
returned to their feet again in
the third to recognize Pierce,
who responded with a salute
back to the crowd.
Pacers 107,
Timberwolves 91
INDIANAPOLIS Roy
Hibbert had a season-high 27
points and 12 rebounds to lead
the Indiana Pacers to a victory
over the Minnesota Timber-
wolves.
Paul George had 17 points
and George Hill added 16
points with six assists to help
the Pacers get their second win
in three games.
Ricky Rubio had 21 points
and 10 assists and Luke Rid-
nour scored 17 points for the
Timberwolves, who have lost
nine of their last 11 games.
Wizards 106, Bucks 93
WASHINGTON John Wall
had 23 points and 10 assists,
and the Washington Wizards
beat the Milwaukee Bucks.
Wall and Wizards coach
Randy Wittman appeared to ex-
change unpleasant words dur-
ing a timeout late in the third
quarter, but Wall rallied with
eight fourth-quarter points to
hold off the Bucks comeback.
It was Walls seventh double-
double of the season. He also
added six rebounds and four
steals.
The Wizards (21-42) have
won three straight home games
and eight of 11 in Washington.
Monta Ellis scored 26 points
for the Bucks (32-31).
Hawks 96, Lakers 92
ATLANTA Devin Harris
scored 17 points, Ivan Johnson
hit a key basket and the short-
handed Atlanta Hawks shook
off a 20-point third quarter
by Kobe Bryant, snapping a
three-game losing streak with
a victory over the Los Angeles
Lakers.
Bryant nished with 31
points, but made just 11 of 33
shots. He drove the baseline
with a chance to force overtime
but watched his jumper slide off
the rim with 3 seconds remain-
ing.
Rockets 111, Suns 81
HOUSTON Donatas
Motiejunas scored a career-high
19 points to lead ve Houston
starters in double gures and
the Rockets routed the Phoenix
Suns.
James Harden scored 18

Rockets, who stayed in the No.
7 spot in the Western Confer-
ence standings.
Thunder 110, Jazz 87
OKLAHOMA CITY Kevin
Durant scored 23 points, Rus-
sell Westbrook added 19 and
the Oklahoma City cruised to a
victory over the Utah Jazz.
Kevin Martin had 15 points
for Oklahoma City, which
improved to 25-8 at home. The
Thunder led 29-19 after one
quarter and 50-28 at halftime.
Gordon Hayward scored 20
points to lead Utah, and Enes
Kanter had 12. The Jazz lost
for the eighth time in 10 games,
but remained one-half game
behind the Los Angeles Lakers
for eighth place in the West.

Garnett, Pierce reach
milestones in Celtics win
NEW YORK James South-
erland hit ve 3-pointers in the
rst half to keep No. 19 Syra-
cuse in the game and Brandon
Triche keyed a big second-half
run that gave the Orange a
75-63 victory Wednesday in the
second round of the Big East
tournament.
Fifth-seeded Syracuse (24-8)
extended its Big East tenure
with the win and the Orange
will play fourth-seeded and
17th-ranked Pittsburgh in the
quarternals on Thursday.
Both Syracuse and Pittsburgh
are leaving the Big East for the
Atlantic Coast Conference after
this season.
Syracuse, which had lost
four of its last ve games,
looked more like the team that
was second in the league in
scoring (72.3). The Orange
looked nothing like the team
that managed just 39 points in
a 22-point loss to Georgetown
to close the regular season.
Villanova 66, St. Johns 53
NEW YORK Mouphtaou
Yarou made his rst seven
shots and scored 18 points,
sending Villanova to a victory
over St. Johns in the second
round of the Big East tourna-
ment.
Ryan Arcidiacono added
15 points to help the seventh-
seeded Wildcats (20-12) move
into the quarternals, where
they will play Thursday night
against fourth-ranked Louis-
ville, the tournaments No. 2
seed.
JayVaughn Pinkston had 12
points and nine rebounds for
Villanova, which shook off St.
Johns midway through the sec-
ond half. Yarou, a senior center
winding down his Wildcats
career, nished 9 for 10 from
the eld with seven rebounds
and three steals.
Texas Tech 71,
West Virginia 69
KANSAS CITY, Mo. De-
jan Kravic rebounded Texas
Techs desperation shot and
dropped it into the bucket just
ahead of the buzzer, lifting
Texas Tech over West Virginia
in the opening round of the Big
12 tournament.
The Red Raiders (11-19),
who lost twice to West Virginia
in the regular season, gave up
a 14-point lead in the rst half
but managed to hold on for
only their second victory all
year away from home.
Texas Tech will meet the
regular-season champion, No.
7 Kansas (26-5), in Thursdays
quarternals.
Jaye Crocketts 18 points led
Texas Tech, which had lost 11
of its last 12.
Colorado 74,
Oregon State 68
LAS VEGAS Spencer
Dinwiddie scored 20 points
and Colorado picked up a
much-needed win at the Pac-12
tournament, holding off Or-
egon State in the rst round.
Colorado (21-10) needed a
couple of wins in Las Vegas to
boost its NCAA chances and
got off to a good start by domi-
nating Oregon State defensive-
ly most of the second half.
Xavier Johnson had 16
points and Andre Roberson 12
for the fth-seeded Buffaloes,
who moved on to face No. 4
seed Arizona in Thursdays
quarternals.
UAB 53, SMY 52
TULSA, Okla. Jordan
Swing scored 17 points, includ-
ing a layup with 9 seconds to
play, and UAB beat SMU in the
opener of the Conference USA
tournament.
Swing had a team-high nine
rebounds and was 7 of 13 from
the eld for the game. Rod
Rucker had 11 points.
UAB was up 32-23 at half-
time and led until Brian Ber-
nardi hit two free throws to put
the Mustangs up 52-51 with
29 seconds remaining. Swings
layup put the Blazers (16-16)
back on top. No. 10 seed SMU
missed a jumper with a second
to play.
Jalen Jones led SMU (15-17)
with 13 points and 10 re-
bounds. Cannen Cunningham
had 11 points.
Bucknell 64, Lafayette 56
LEWISBURG Mike Mus-
cala scored six of his 20 points
during a decisive second-half
stretch to help Bucknell cap-
ture its second NCAA tourna-
ment berth in three seasons
with a win over Lafayette in
the Patriot League title game.
Joe Willman had 14 points
and eight boards to form a
potent frontcourt duo with
Muscala, the conference player
of the year for the top-seeded
Bison (28-5). Muscala also had
11 rebounds.
Just like two years ago,
Bucknell beat Lafayette (19-15)
on its home oor to advance.
Joey Ptasinski had 15 points
for Lafayette, including several
buckets during a key second-
half sequence that helped
narrow a 12-point decit to
single digits. Ptasinskis layup
off a backdoor cut drew the
Leopards within 41-38 with
7:17 left.
Thats when the 6-foot-11
Muscala took over, hitting
turnaround jumpers and domi-
nating the post during a 10-2
run that extended the lead to
51-40 with 3:52 left.
Kings drops one to Marywood
WILKES-BARRE
Kings lost 6-4 to Marywood
Wednesday in a mens lacross
matchup for its rst loss of the
season.
Mike OBrien scored twice
for Kings and assisted on
another goal. Kevin Sweeney
and Liam Kelly also scored.
Brenden McCrudden notched
11 saves in goal.
Misericordia 10, Hood 6
Kyle Calabro notched his
100
th
career point as Miseri-
cordia continued its best start
in program history with a 10-6
victory over Hood at Mangels-
dorf Field.
Calabro, who led the Cou-
gars with three goals and two
assists, became the second
MU player to reach the career
100-point mark this season
after JR Lauri did so during
the Cougars season-opener
against Centenary. Lauri and
Trevor Bodnar each added
two goals.
COLLEGE BASKETBALL
Monarchs Michaels named

Kings senior womens
basketball standout, Katlin Mi-
chaels was tabbed as a second

NEWARK, N.J. Ilya
Kovalchuk capped New
Jerseys three-goal rst period
with his NHL-leading fourth
short-handed goal, and the
Devils beat the mistake-prone
Philadelphia Flyers 5-2 on
Wednesday night.
Patrik Elias and Adam Hen-
rique, who scored twice, also
tallied in the opening period
as the Devils beat the Flyers
for the third time in three
games this season. Andrei Lok-
tionov had the prettiest goal
for New Jersey, with a toe-drag
move that left Flyers goalie
Ilya Bryzgalov at his mercy.
Johan Hedberg had 23 saves
for New Jersey, which has won
two straight and three of four.
Jakub Voracek and Scott
Hartnell scored for the Flyers,
who have lost four of ve.
The Flyers were their own
worst enemy, giving up two
goals with bad pinches, an-
other that went in off the skate
of Matt Read, and another on
a giveaway behind their net.
Canadiens 4, Senators 3
MONTREAL Alex Gal-
chenyuk and Lars Eller scored
shootout goals, and Montreal
won its fourth straight by beat-
ing Ottawa.
Eller also scored in the rst
period and Brendan Galla-

power-play goals in the second
for Montreal (18-5-4), which
played loosely in its rst home
game after a ve-game trip.
Carey Price made 29 saves.
Mika Zibanejad and Daniel

goals for Ottawa (13-8-6), and
Patrick Wiercioch also scored
for the Senators.

Just Below Wegmans
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Its
a big year for Graham Rahal,
who for the rst time in his ca-
reer will be the top driver on his
team.
As the IndyCar driver em-
barks on his rst season with
Rahal Letterman Lanigan Rac-
ing, Rahal is also looking to ll
his schedule with at least one
NASCAR race. Rahal wants to
run the inaugural Nationwide
Series race at hometown track
Mid-Ohio and has been actively
searching for a ride.
I want to do it really bad,
he said this week. Id like to do
more, actually, just because I
think it would be fun. But Mid-
Ohio is the one Im really trying
to make happen and trying to
nd an opportunity.
The road course in Lexington,
Ohio, is roughly an hour away
from Rahals hometown of Co-
lumbus and the race falls on an
open date in the IndyCar sched-
ule. It makes Mid-Ohio a natural
t for the potential NASCAR
debut for the 24-year-old Rahal,
who stressed he is not trying to
change series. Hes just explor-
ing.
Finding a way to do Mid-Ohio
is the priority right now, but Id
love to do an oval at some point,
Rahal said. I was watching the
race at Las Vegas this weekend
and was thinking someday Id like
to try it not because I want a
career change, but because one-
offs would be fun. Our schedule
certainly has the time.
For now, though, the focus is
on his new ride with RLL.
He joins the team co-owned
by his father, Bobby, after two
seasons with Chip Ganassi Rac-
ing. Although the Ganassi orga-
nization says it runs its teams
equally, the perception is that
the emphasis is on champion-
ship contenders Dario Franchit-
ti and Scott Dixon while Rahal
and Charlie Kimball were some-
thing of a B team.
Leaving Ganassi and moving
to RLL, which is expanding this
year to two cars with the addi-
tion of James Jakes, gives Rahal
a chance to shine.
This is a real welcome
change for me. Racing is fun
again, and the environment
Im in now engages it, he said.
There is a different mentality
here. I dont have even one con-
cern about the team. Dad loves
this, he loves racing. Its not an

Rahal wants to run NASCAR race at Mid-Ohio
By JENNA FRYER
AP Auto Racing Writer
I was watching the race at Las Vegas this weekend
and was thinking someday Id like to try it not be-
cause I want a career change, but because one-offs
would be fun. Our schedule certainly has the time.

If you havent
heard of Pheed,
youre behind the
times.
In an already
diverse and growing
environment of twit-
ters, facebooks and
Pinterests, its hard to stand out.
But a new up-and-coming platform
called Pheed, which was launched in
october, stands out from the rest.
Pheed, like facebook and other social
media platforms, allows users to share
any kind of content, whether it be
video, photo, text or audio.
But thats where the similarities end
and everything takes on a twist.
Like facebook, you can show that
you support or appreciate things, but in
the world of Pheed, you click an I love
this button.
you can also do the equivalent of
unlike the button says I dont love
this.
you can bookmark things, and you
can also use a function called remix,
which twitter users will quickly see is a
lot like re-tweeting.
Like twitter, Pheed also supports
hashtags #nyc for posts related to
new york for example.
Pheed also supports live broadcasts,
similar to uStream.
uniquely, you can also like via
facebook or push out facebook status
updates, create a new tweet or re-tweet
existing content via twitter, or e-mail
content from Pheed.
from the looks of it, the Pheed
people are positioning themselves
as a one-stop destination, where
membership grants you the ability to
push content out to your other social
media accounts without having to leave
Pheed.
Something that makes Pheed really
stand out are its content and business
models.
While Pheed is free for everyone
to use, artists, performers, or other
content creators have the option of
charging for access to certain content,
like live performances.
users can also charge people to view
their content, with Pheed itself taking a
revenue share from premium accounts.
using this business model, Pheeds
creators hope to avoid adding advertis-
ing of any kind to the platform.
Pheed is becoming increasingly popu-
lar, and last month reached the slot of
the no. 1 most downloaded app in the
apple app store.
the social media platforms larg-
est audience is the 18-25 age bracket,
which analysts report is starting to
become disenchanted with facebook.
Signing up for Pheed is simple. you
can go to Pheed.com and use your
existing facebook or twitter login to
get started.
youre required to subscribe to at
least three other Pheed users just to get
started, which helps ensure that your
page is well populated.
the interface could best be described
as a mashup of twitter, facebook and
tumblr.
the actual pheed itself dominates the
center-right of the page, similar to twit-
ter. a bar down the left side shows your
timeline, favorited items, subscribers
and friends, and trending hashtags.
Despite Pheed being merely the
latest next-Big-Social-Media-Site
in a long line of them MySpace,
facebook, tubmlr, ad nauseum, there
seems to be something different about
the platform, and theyre certainly
generating buzz.
Pheed is available as both a website,
www.pheed.com and as an iPhone app
available in the app store.

WaShInGton americans
spent at the fastest pace in ve
months in february, boosting
retail spending 1.1 percent com-
pared with January. about half the
jump reected higher gas prices,
but even excluding gas purchases,
retail sales rose 0.6 percent.
the report Wednesday from the
Commerce Department showed
that americans kept spending last
month despite higher Social Secu-
rity taxes that took effect this year.
the retail sales report is the gov-
ernments rst look each month at
consumer spending, which drives
about 70 percent of economic ac-
tivity.
Core retail sales, which exclude
the volatile categories of gas, autos
and building supply stores, rose
0.4 percent in february compared
with January.
economists were encouraged by
the stronger-than-expected gain in
retail sales. Some said the increase
means the economy may be grow-
ing faster in the January-March
quarter than they had forecast.
this all suggests that the hit
to spending from the payroll tax
cut and higher gasoline prices,
which reduce the amount of
cash available to spend on other
items, hasnt been too bad, said
Paul Dales at Capital economics.

Charles Bud Reilly Jr. , left, his father, Charles Sr. , center, and brother Joe, right, were back on familiar ground
Wednesday at the former Dove Industries building in Hanover Township. Charles Reilly Sr. sold the building to Dove
years ago and his sons purchased it in February.
Building back with family
hanoveRtWP. Whentheformer
Dove Industries Building went on the
market, Charles Bud Reilly Jr. knewhe
and his brother could put it to good use.
they were familiar with the Sans Sou-
ci Parkway property through their father,
Charles. Dad owned the building in the
70s and early 80s, said Charles Bud
Reilly. he sold it to Dove, which manu-
factured windows on site until it closed
last august.
the brothers company, Sportsmen
acquisitions LP, bought it for $1.1 mil-
lion in february and quickly began to ll
the 200,000-square-foot building.
Initially they planned to store mate-
rials for their businesses in it. Reilly,
of fort fort, owns air excellence. his
brother Joe owns Reilly finishing tech-
nologies in nanticoke. Within a week of
the purchase, they leased space to some-
one else and they have roomfor others.
the propertys location is ideal for
companies that need warehouse space
in the Wyoming valley rather than in
the outlying industrial parks. It also is
located within a short drive of Interstate
81, Reilly said.
the circumstances of how the prop-
erty became available saddened Reilly.
Dove laid off 106 employees here and 52
more in virginia last summer because it
could not obtain nancing to continue
those operations. the company had
relocated to hanover township from
the Philadelphia area. It expanded and
opened a manufacturing plant in Pulaski
County, va., in 2010.
the Reilly brothers negotiated with
owners Bruce Dove and eric Dovman
for the property.
We got a pretty good deal and paid
a fair price, more than what the sellers
were asking, Reilly said.
he commended the previous own-
ers for taking care of the building and
investing in a new roof, lighting and
heating, ventilation and air condi-
tioning. Its super clean, Reilly said.

Greatest Show on earth will be taking
Spider-Man, the hulk, thor and the X-
Men on a worldwide road show.

duces the Ringling Bros. and Barnum

feld told the associated Press in an-
nouncing the partnership.
Big CEOs more upbeat
Chief executives at the largest u.S.
companies are much more optimistic
about their sales prospects than they
were three months ago, though many
remain cautious about hiring.
the Business Roundtable said
Wednesday that 72 percent of its mem-
bers expect sales will increase in the
next six months. thats up from 58
percent at the end of last year. and 38
percent plan to invest more in plant
and equipment, up from 30 percent in
october-December quarter, when the
Roundtable released its last report.
the executives are more comfortable
with their current stafng levels and
are less inclined to lay off workers. the
percentage of Ceos planning to cut
jobs fell to 25 percent from 29 percent,
the second consecutive drop.

K, ladies. Step away from the black exercise pants. This spring, work-
out wear isnt just functional its taken a fashion-forward turn, with
daring prints, intricate details and look-at-me shades even in pants.
Bold hues are huge, says Marissa Stephenson, tness editor at Self
magazine. Neons, jewel tones, coral and yellow are just some of the
top shades for tted jackets, tops, sports bras and, yes, even pants.
To see compa-
nies like Nike that
are taking risks
with patterns and
colors, it makes
the experience
more fun.

The colors and
patterns are so
new and fresh Im
almost giddy.

Wearing a color on bottom can
be intimidating, especially for
ladies who prefer the slimming
power of black. But, Stephenson
says, its all about choosing the
most forgiving shade and atter-
ing cut. Her pick? A bright-blue
capri that hits just below the knee.
The colors and patterns are so
new and fresh Im almost giddy,
says Karyn Riale, director of re-
tail buying for The Shop Equinox,
which sells its stylish wares in
Woodbury, Great Neck, Roslyn and
Manhattan, N.Y.
With prints, anything goes, from
hot-pink leopard created by adi-
das by Stella McCartney, to bright
tribal prints from Nike, to splatter-
paint, orals and zigzags.
To see companies like Nike that
are taking risks with patterns and
colors, it makes the experience
more fun, said celebrity trainer
Tracy Anderson, whose clients in-
clude Gwyneth Paltrow.
For women who wont stray
from black, pops of color and
detail add pizzazz, such as pants
with a print waistband (lulule-
mon athletica has several) or a
bright stripe down the side. Perfo-
rated detailing on tops is also in,
as are texturized prints, such as a
black-on-black animal print, Ste-
phenson says. Even neon socks
and underwear can add pop, adds
Amanda Casgar, area community
manager for lululemon.
A new workout wardrobe doesnt
just make you look good it
makes you feel good, too.
Celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson
says taking care in what you put on
can increase motivation.
Any time youre making a con-
scious decision to do something,
youre connecting more to the ex-
perience, says Anderson, who has
studios in Manhattan and Water
Mill, N.Y.
One move to avoid? Buying con-
stricting, suction-cup-style pieces
in the hopes of looking thinner
while hitting the gym. If youre do-
ing a workout properly, these kinds
of constricting fabrics can cut off
your ability to perform well.
Better, she says, to simply do
your workout well.
HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif.
The story goes that in 2011 a holy man
saved the Gathering of the Tribes
longboard contest at Trestles beach.
The day was cloudy and breezy. The
waves small.
Then an elderly man in a robe and
sandals stepped onto the beach.
He blesses the waves and the sun
pops through the clouds, says surng
legend Chuck Linnen, 76, of Hunting-
ton Beach, Calif.
And then the waves come up.
People looked at each other like:
Who is this guy?
Its a question often asked about Fr.
Christian Mondor a Franciscan friar
and Catholic priest at Sts. Simon &
Jude Parish in Huntington Beach. Not
because of miracles. But because of his
accepting, non-judgmental and, some
say, enlightened ways.
How many 87-year-old Catholic
priests do you know who play banjo
and surf? asks the Rev. Peggy Price, a
minister at the Center for Spiritual Liv-
ing, in Seal Beach, Calif.
You might also ask: How many
87-year-old Catholic priests call God
the Great Kahuna?
Or pray in public for righteous and
tubular waves?
Or sing songs like this on banjo:
Sometimes I have an old whiskey
and I fall asleep in my chair, and I
dream that Im a man much younger
than I am.
The answer is: One.
Which is why word recently spread
of a surprise honor for this man.
The surng priest of Surf City.
Richard Mondor was born in Hol-

lywood in the Roaring 20s. When the
family got too big, Dad sold their Clin-
ton Street home to a vaudeville couple
desperate toget their daughter intothe
movies.
She eventually landed the lead role
in The Wizard of Oz Judy Gar-
land, Fr. Christian says.
The Mondors moved to Westwood,
where two inuences altered the
course of young Richards life.
One was the ocean where he body-
surfed every day of the summer. The
other was St. Paul the Apostle Church,
where he biked each Sunday to hear
the sermons of a charismatic young
priest favored by celebrities like Bing
Crosby and Loretta Young.
Fr. Fitzgerald was my idol, says
Christian, who became an altar boy,
and one of the reasons I became a
priest.
The inuence was so strong that by
9th grade, Richard was attending the
Los Angeles Day Seminary andby 10th
grade hed joined a Franciscan monas-
tery in Santa Barbara.
It was a few years later, while teach-
ing at St. Francis Boarding Seminary,
in Oregon, that he discovered another
life-altering inuence (get ready for
this)

Medical Cosmetic Technician
For nine long years, I lived in sheer agony.
I suffered from inflammation and horrible
stiffness in my hands. Unless youve experienced it for
yourself, you cant imagine how bad the pain really is. It
nearly crippled me and almost ended my career.
As a Medical Micropigmentation Specialist in
Cleveland, Ohio, I need my hands for applying
medical tattooing and permanent makeup for cancer
patients, burn victims, and for people who need facial
reconstruction.
I was proud that in 2010, FOX 8 TV news
viewers voted me the Best Permanent Cosmetic
Technician in the area and I have consistently ranked in
the top 2% nationally.
But suddenly, my career was in danger. I was told that
the intense precision of my work combined with the
brutal cold winters in Ohio contributed to major stiffness
and inammation.
So naturally, I tried just about every pain remedy and
topical cream on the market. Nothing worked. The pain
was getting worse and worse.
So for all these years, I got by on a steady
regimen of over-the-counter pills. The pain in my hands
got so bad that I started taking pain relievers 2-3 times a
day. And still my agony persisted.
I was faced with a dreadful choice: Either have the
painful surgery on my hands and be laid up for months...
or cut my workload in half. I was between a rock and a
hard place.
I couldnt afford to do either. I had to nd a better way
to get real relief.
Then one day at dinner a friend of mine told me that
inammation is worse than I thought. Its called the
secret killer, and for good reason, he said. Left alone,
it can ravage your arteries, chew up nerve cells in your
brain, and lead to all kinds of age-related ailments.
The good news is that researchers at the
University of Arizona have now conrmed
that the Nopal cactus found in the Sonoran
Desert in the southwest U.S. has tremendous
power. It can help ght off harmful inammation without
risky drugs. And it can help reduce the pain caused by
inammation.
It turns out that the fruit of this plant is loaded
with a special concentration of something called
a bioavonoid. Its a super-powerful antioxidant
that scientists believe to be perhaps the best natural
anti-inammatory agent on the planet. And its proven to
reduce inammation and detoxify your body naturally.
He then spoke the words that would change my life. I
think all you need to do is try a fruit drink. I was shocked!
How is an ordinary fruit drink going to end my misery?
Well, its not an ordinary fruit drink. Its called Nopalea,
a breakthrough wellness drink that contains these incredible
bioavonoids I told you about. Drink it and youll be amazed
how great youre going to feel.
I was skeptical, but I was also desperate. He brought me a
bottle and I took a sip. I was shocked that it actually tasted
fruity and delicious. I really enjoyed drinking it.
In just 5-6 days, an amazing thing happened.
I started to feel much better. My stiffness loosened up and I
moved around better than I had in years with no pain.
I was over joyed! The inammation in my hands
showed dramatic improvement. I kept taking 3 ounces of
Nopalea twice a day and after about 30 days, I could
perform my duties 95% pain free!
Even the doctors I work with were amazed at my

Franciscan brother and priest Christian Mondor walks along the
surf with his banjo and surfboard in Huntington Beach, Calif.
Banjo.
It was 1962.
The nation was astir with civil
rights, rebellion and a new social
consciousness. Folk music gave it
voice.
Christian wanted to get his stu-
dents involved.
I thought, Wow, Ive got a
banjo at home. So I asked the
kids, Anyone know how to play
guitar?
No. But that hardly mattered.
Soon, he had a folk band with
three guitars, a bass and banjo,
which he learned to play in the
barn, so I wouldnt drive people
crazy.
It started as fun, but they got
better and better. They played in
downtown Portland, Ore.; won
music competitions in Vancou-
ver, Wash.; and cut a record that
got radio play.
He named them the Trouba-
dours of St. Francis after the
founder of his order.
St. Francis was a poet who
called himself a troubadour of the
Lordbecause he lovedtosing and
pray aloud, Christian says.
But Francis of Assisi was more
than that. He also was a rebel
a gentle rebel, Fr. Christian
puts it who vigorously op-
posed the Churchs military cru-
sade to retake holy shrines in the
Holy Land, saying violence went
against the teachings of the Bible.
St. Francis eschewed wealth and
power, choosing to live among
the common people.
In his own way, Christian was
doing the same, growing into a
bit of a gentle rebel himself.
On his 70th birthday, Fr. Chris-
tian bought himself a gift a
$100 surfboard.
I thought, my gosh, IminSurf
City, Ive got to learn how to ride
a board.
Like his experience with the
banjo, he took to it right away,
loving the thrill of the sport and
its innate spirituality.
Water is a powerful symbol of
life, he says. We know life origi-
nated in the water millions of
years ago. We cannot live without
water. And Jesus chose water as
a symbol of life that would come
frombaptism.
He began surng Bolsa Chica,
then San Onofre with parishio-
ners. He had his share of scares,
wipeouts and getting hit by the
board.
One of the rst things you
learn surng is to respect the
power of the ocean, he says.
But it canbe very contemplative.
When youre out alone, between
waves, you experience a beautiful
calm. (At least), I do.
When he speaks of the tran-
quility, the pelicans swooping
low, the dolphins rising high, he
almost sounds like St. Francis,
who so rejoiced in all of Gods
creatures and nature that he now
is called the Patron Saint of the
Environment.
I know a lot of surfers, Chris-
tian says. This is their way of
praying. They dont come to
church, but theyre out on the sea
thanking God for the great gift of
the ocean.
Over the years word spread
that there was an 80-year-old
priest who didnt criticize you for
skipping church. Who didnt act
offended if a bad word slipped
from your mouth. Who didnt
mind if you simply called him,
Mondor.
By 2008, the Dioceses of Or-
ange heard about all this and
asked to have a word with this
surng priest of Surf City.
The Diocese wanted himto try
a bold experiment, called The
Blessing of the Waves.
It was a way to reach out to
those who surf, swim and love
the ocean. It started small. But
over the past ve years it has
gained international press and
now attracts more than 2,000
people each October, with lead-
ers of several faiths giving prayers
and blessings.
Theres a sense of fun and a
sense of joy that comes through,
Christian says.
That much is obvious in his
own prayer, which gives thanks
for the smallest-to-largest crea-
tures in the ocean before adding:
But keep the Great Whites al-
ways in their space and not ours.
For all this, the Diocese re-
cently gathered several friends
to present Christian with a hand-
shaped ceremonial surfboard. As
thanks.
Newly installed Bishop Kevin
W. Vann wrote a letter of thanks
promising to attend next
years event. And Huntington
BeachCity Councilor Joe Carchio
said: Fr. Christian is probably
more important to the city than
(professional surfer) Kelly Slater.
You are someone we look up to
for inspiration.
Back in his ofce, where the
new surfboard will hang (along
with three banjos, a rack of swim-
ming medals and a July 4th
Grand Marshall award) Christian
plays banjo and nishes singing
Old Bones:
But I love life, Id like to live
it again, though I might not be
much more than Ive ever been.
And it becomes clear that
while hes been honored for lead-
ing The Blessing of the Waves for
ve years, his real accomplish-
ment has been to teach a commu-
nity howto live, howembrace life
like a gentle rebel.
Not with judgment, but
with joy. And acceptance.

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I need
help and dont know
where to turn. I
am divorced and
have a 37-year-old
son, Teddy, who
has never married
and has no children.
He lives on his own except when
hes in trouble or has nowhere else
to go. Then he moves back in with
me.
The problem is my son is a liar
and has been ever since he was a
teenager. He even lies when tell-
ing the truth would be better. I pun-
ished him every way I knew how
when he was growing up. Nothing
worked.
Teddy has been in trouble with the
law in the past and is now in trouble
again. Of course, he says hes inno-
cent. I got him out on bond and of-
fered to get him help. I also told
him there would be no more money
from me, and I no longer want to
hear his lies.
Another problem: Teddy is ex-
tremely good-looking and women
swoon over him. He ends up using
them and then dumping them, and
then they call me.
I dont know why he is the way
he is. Is there treatment for people
who cant tell the truth? Please tell
me what to do. I love my son and
it breaks my heart to see him do
these bad things.
Brokenhearted Mother in Texas
Dear Brokenhearted: As much as
you love Teddy, its time to accept
that you cant fix whats wrong with
him; only he can do that. It wont hap-
pen until he finally has to accept the
consequences of his bad behavior.
Taking him in and bailing him out
is not the answer. It also helps no one
when you have long conversations
with the women who call you, so pro-
tect yourself by cutting them short.
Considering the kind of man your son
is, thank your lucky stars that he has
no children yet.
Dear Abby: My father recently
moved to an apartment with no stor-
age and I was left with 10 large boxes
of memorabilia. Going through these
boxes brought many tears of remem-
brance and new insights into the lives
of my parents and grandparents.
My problem now is what to do with
these things; I can scan photos and
letters, but what about Great-Grand-
mas wedding dress (stained and
moth-eaten), Mothers christening
gown (too frail to use again) and the
dear soft curl of hair from my uncle
who died in childhood?
I dont have much storage room,
and Im not certain my children
would even care about these things.
Yet it doesnt seem right to throw
them in the garbage. I wonder what
other people do with treasured items
that have no value beyond sentiment.
Soft Heart/Practical Head in
Tacoma
Dear Soft Heart: Do not automati-
cally assume that your children would
have no interest in the contents of
those 10 boxes. ASK them. However,
if they say no, then contact the state
historical society or a local theater
troupe and inquire if they would have
any interest. You may be pleasantly
surprised to find some of the items
would be welcomed.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Adult son trades on lies and his good looks to get what he wants
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
check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in
Canada) to: Dear Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box
447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage
is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You may
realize that you could improve in
some areas, but dont use this
as an excuse to pick on or aban-
don yourself. Get on your own
side. No one else can play your
role in this game if you dont
do it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You
will decipher complex problems
almost magically. Your intuition
will guide you brilliantly. You
wont need to hear each side or
get proof of what is really going
on. The answer will be clear.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your
style of communication is like a
universal language all its own.
With Mercury cheering on your
efforts, you will bring a diverse
group of people together.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You
will thrive in a group setting.
Sportsmanship and skillful team-
work are specialties of yours.
Dont be surprised if the group
cant function without you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You dont
have to do anything active to
change the world now. You may
choose to be active anyway, or
you may sit back and enjoy just
being alive.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Its said
that shared joy is multiplied;
shared grief is divided. Wherever
people are, you join them and
make the emotional landscape
come alive with positive feeling.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When the
cosmos send you an invitation,
be sure to RSVP. When you make
your intentions known, things
start to happen. Even if you
dont yet have what you need
to move forward, move forward
anyway.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Anyone
who asks you a question will get
more than they bargained for.
Youre a storehouse of knowl-
edge and creativity. Your impulse
is to share generously.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
You wont seek a dangerous
position, and yet there is no such
thing as complete safety in this
world, either. Adventure would
not be adventure without the
element of risk.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Everything will progress whether
or not you have a plan. This is an
excellent day for watching the
way things work naturally with-
out your interference. What you
learn may save you from making
unneeded efforts later.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Committing to one choice means
closing the door on any other
choice that is not in line with it.
Youll spend most of the day try-
ing to figure out which choices
go together.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Some
will push their luck to explore
the unknown. Youd like to think
things over awhile. How badly
do you really want to know?
Maybe not badly enough to
tempt fate.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (March 14).
The next six weeks feature
amusing developments, including
public singing or dancing. You
owe Aprils victory to family and
excellent training. Ardently fol-
low your interests, and in
May youll make a rather daz-
zling new friend. Consider going
into business together. Your
lucky numbers are: 32, 11, 14, 49
and 45.
