WILKES-BARRE — Geis- inger Health Plan members now have another option for treat- ment in a hospital. Commonwealth Health and Geisinger Health Plan an- nounced on Monday that they reached an agreement giving GHP members access to Wilkes- Barre General Hospital and the hospital’s network of outpatient sites throughout the region. As of March 1, all Wilkes- Barre General facilities were considered in-network providers for GHP members. The agreement covers all lines of business including: Geis- inger Health Plan HMO for busi- nesses, Geisinger Choice PPO for businesses and individuals, Geisinger Gold Medicare Advan- tage and Medicare Supplement plans, GHP Family Medical As- sistance plan, GHP Kids Chil- dren’s Health Insurance Plan and Geisinger Health Options for self-funded employers. Wilkes-Barre General Hospi- tal CEO Cornelio Catena said the agreement will signiﬁcantly beneﬁt consumers. “Individuals and families with GHP insurance now have access to a wider array of advanced health services and skilled phy- sicians. Having more options when seeking care is a deﬁnite advantage for area residents,” Catena said in a joint statement with GHP. Dr. Duane E. Davis, president and CEO for GHP, said the com- pany’s more than 46,000 mem- bers in Luzerne County now have additional choices for qual- ity care. “We are committed to provid- ing our members with access to the best providers for their needs,” Davis said. The agreement also means that GHP is now accepted at all Commonwealth Health facili- ties.

Within minutes, six investi- gators were on scene collect- ing evidence and snapping photos of the bloodied body of a female, who was stabbed to death at the edge of the park- ing lot of the McCann School of Business and Technology. It was a startling scene for staff and students who stopped by to watch the unfolding drama. They didn’t know the entire scene — the body, the blood, the knife — wasn’t real. The “murder” was the product of the imagination of educators at the school, who joined together to create an elaborate crime scene thatpro- vided hands-on experience to students in the various crimi- nal justice disciplines taught there. The six detectives — stu- dents in the security and inves- tigations class — seized upon the scene, collecting evidence, including a bloodied knife. The items will next be turned over to students in the medical technician class, who will run ﬁngerprints and DNA tests in hopes of identifying a suspect. A cell phone found at the scene will go to the Internet Technology students, who will search for calls and texts the victim may have made or re- ceived. Once the investigation’s complete, the case will go to the paralegal department for preparation for the mock trial, which is expected to take place in about a week or two. School ofﬁcials are working on having The inmate suspected in the killing of federal prison guard Eric Williams was involved with a violent gang known to take part in wide-scale drug trafﬁcking, ex- tortions and murders, according to federal court documents. Jessie Con-Ui of Arizona was serving a sentence of more than 11 years in fed- eral prison for his 2005 con- viction on drug charges involv- ing the New Mexican Maﬁa, federal court records from Arizona show. Con-Ui has not been charged in Williams’ homicide, which took place on Feb. 25 at the federal correction- al institution at Canaan. He was identiﬁed as the suspect in court documents ﬁled Monday that ap- point two attorneys to represent him in the Pennsylvania case. The order, signed by U.S. Dis- trict Court Chief Judge Yvette Kane, appoints James Swetz of Stroudsburg and Mark Fleming of San Diego, Calif., to represent Con-Ui, whom Kane says is un- der investigation for the Canaan homicide. Kane’s order notes the case has the potential to be a death-penalty case and that Con- Ui does not have the ﬁnancial ability to hire his own attorney. TOBYHANNA —The Toby- hanna Army Depot, the region’s largest employer, has notiﬁed a private contractor that it may not need up to 418 of its work- ers by the end of April. The job losses come on top of recent retirements of 150 employees and news that all employees will be furloughed for 22 days between April 1 and Sept. 30. Faced with decreasing fund- ing for workload, the depot has notiﬁed URS Federal Support Services Inc., of Oklahoma City, Okla., that it may no lon- ger require up to 418 industrial trade and electronics workers and related support functions. The phased reduction will begin Friday and would con- tinue through the end of April. “We have assessed our work- load thoroughly, and we do not have funding or sufﬁcient work to justify retention of these personnel at this time. These reductions are always difﬁcult, but we must be prudent stew- ards of our resources to maxi- mize the efﬁcient support we deliver to the men and women of our Armed Forces,” said de- pot commander Col. Gerhard P.R. Schröter. The ﬁrst reduction of 95 con- tract workers will take place Friday. This will include indus- trial trade workers, electronics workers and employees of URS HARRISBURG — Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky’s “major claims” as he appeals a child sexual abuse conviction include the many years that went by before accus- ers notiﬁed aut hor i t i es, according to a pair of defense ﬁlings Mon- day. A t t o r n e y Norris Gelman listed the fail- ure to report — speciﬁcally, the judge’s refusal to instruct jurors on the issue — as a critical el- ement of Sandusky’s effort to overturn the 45-count convic- tion. Gelman also argued that the defense lawyers lacked suf- ﬁcient time to prepare for the three-week trial last summer. He revisited arguments previ- ously rejected by the judge who presided over the trial, John Cleland. The new ﬁlings set the stage for formal appeals before Superior Court. Sandusky was convicted of molesting 10 boys over a pe- riod of several years in a case that brought down Hall of Fame coach Joe Paterno and led to sanctions against Penn State’s storied football program. San- dusky, 69, is serving 30 to 60 years at a state prison. He ac- knowledges showering with boys but insists he didn’t molest any of them. Penn State’s costs from the huge fallout from the scandal topped $41 million as of the end of December, the university posted Monday on a website.

Jerry was born in Charlotte, N.C., grewup in Flushing Queens, N.Y., and lived around the U.S. be- fore settling in the Wyoming Val- ley in 1976. Jerry loved music and art. His life was an amazing improvisa- tion. Jerry loved music and want- ed to repair musical instruments. He walked into a shop in Texas and asked for a job working with instruments. Jerry developed his skills and moved back to New York City to work at Giardinelli Instruments. Upon arrival in the Wyoming Valley, Jerry worked at Deluca Music in Plains before set- ting up shop at his home in West Pittston. He loved to tell stories of the renowned Jazz musicians he met in New York, and the hun- dreds of students whose instru- ments he repaired in the region. Although he could play many in- struments, the ﬂute was his favor- ite. Jerry also liked to create with paint on canvas and stained glass. His artwork hangs in the homes of family and friends. Jerry loved his Lord. Jerry was a member at the Forty Fort Presbyterian Church. When his health permitted he had attended Emmanuel Assembly of God in Harveys Lake, where he taught Sunday School. Jerry believed that he should carry God’s Word and minister when possible. One of those opportunities was shar- ing God’s Hope through prison ministry in Dallas. Jerry loved his family. On Feb. 23, Jerry and wife Ruth (Straub) celebrated their 34th wedding anniversary. Three sons, a step- daughter and their spouses sur- vive, Christian and Tammy of West Pittston; Jason and Tam- many of Mt. Tremper, N.Y.; Re- becca (Parlier) and Mark Cox of Sunbury, and Joshua.

Hall was arraigned Monday morning by District Judge Rick Cronauer in Wilkes-Barre on charges of aggravated indecent assault, sexual assault, corrup- tion of minors, involuntary devi- ate sexual intercourse, statutory sexual assault and child endan- germent. He was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $75,000 bail. Police allege Hall sexually as- saulted a 15-year-old girl inside his residence on Dana Street. The girl said Hall told her he wanted to show her what to ex- pect from boys and threatened to harm her family if she told anyone, according to the crimi- nal complaint. A preliminary hearing is scheduled on March 19. DURYEA — Police arrested two men Saturday in the theft of metal from a house abandoned since the September 2011 ﬂood. David Callahan, 34, of Pittston, and Eric Burgerhoff, 23, both of Pittston, were each charged with burglary, criminal conspiracy to commit burglary, criminal trespass and theft. They were arraigned by District Judge Joseph Carmody in West Pittston. Callahan was released on $10,000 unsecured bail, and Burgerhoff was jailed at the Lu- zerne County Correctional Facil- ity for lack of $10,000 bail and on a parole violation. Court records say Burgerhoff has failed to pay ﬁnes and res- titution for a robbery case in Lackawanna County. Police said they investigated two men in a red pickup truck at a residence in the 100 block of Main Street at about 3:10 p.m. Saturday. Metal pipes were found on the back porch and the rear door appeared to have been forced open, police said. Callahan and Burgerhoff told police another man at a junk- yard told them to take the pipes. The homeowner said the house was secured and no one was per- mitted inside, police said. UGi pulls plan for gas facility in West Wyoming WEST WYOMING — Pack- ing the town hall Monday, resi- dents cheered after learning that UGI Energy Services gave up its ﬁght to build a compres- sor station in the borough. Council President Eileen Cipriani read an email she re- ceived from Peter Terranova, vice president of Midstream Services/UGI Energy Services Inc., informing her of the deci- sion. The email read: “This is to inform you that UGI Energy Services will make the appro- priate legal ﬁling to terminate our effort to overturn the de- nial of zoning authority to con- struct a natural gas compressor station in West Wyoming Bor- ough. We do not have plans to construct a compressor station in West Wyoming Borough.” Members of the Luzerne County Citizens for Clean Air urged council to consider adopting a Bill of Rights to pro- tect the borough from future risks to the environment. The group requested that council allow a representative from the Community Environmental Defense Fund (CEDF) to give a 30-minute presentation on it. Initially, council said Linnell Lukesh, the borough’s solici- tor, would have to research the company and its proposal be- fore consenting to the presen- tation. After hearing the pleas from the audience, however, council agreed that a special public meeting should be held, but in a larger venue, such as a ﬁre hall, and include ofﬁcials and residents from surround- ing municipalities. WbA board questions Hawkeye pact WILKES-BARRE - Wilkes- Barre Area School Board ta- bled a $90,000 contract with a company that has ties to a current and former board member, awarded a $215,304 contract to repair a synthetic running track the board con- tends should be under war- ranty, and agreed to give $2,500 in “seed money” to a non-proﬁt foundation the board hopes can rake in many times that in contributions for academic programs. Monday’s monthly meeting took place without the disem- bodied participation of Board Member Robert Corcoran, who sparked arguments last month when he insisted on voting on agenda items via a Skype computer connection despite having moved to Ger- many and given up any physi- cal residence in the district. Board President John Quinn said Corcoran refuses to resign but will not partici- pate in any more meetings. If Corcoran misses two consecu- tive meetings the board can legally remove him and seek a replacement. Quinn said the board will do that as soon as possible if Corcoran does not participate in the April meeting. During a work session pre- ceding the regular meeting, Board Member Christine Kat- sock questioned why approval of a contract with Hawkeye Security Solutions was on the agenda under “contracted ser- vices.” She asked contracted ser- vices committee chairman James Susek and committee member Louis Elmy if they knew anything about it and both said no. Corcoran is the third committee member. Hawkeye is a non-proﬁt cor- poration formed in 2008 by Wilkes-Barre city to oversee the creation and maintenance of its citywide camera secu- rity system with a $2 million grant. Katsock noted School Board Member Phil Latinski had sat on Hawkeye’s board of directors. She didn’t mention it, but former school board member James Fisher also sat on the Hawkeye board and chaired it at one point. Superintendent Bernard Prevuznak said the contract was “an extension of servic- es” to have cameras outside schools, with a possible addi- tion of cameras inside schools added later. Katsock coun- tered that the district’s last payment to Hawkeye was in July 2012, and that the com- pany tried to bill the district for several months after that when no contract existed. “I do not see a reason for this other than that we are a cash cow for Hawkeye,” Kat- sock said. Latinski proposed bringing someone from the company in to answer ques- tions, and the board tabled the motion. The board did vote on the more expensive of two op- tions for repairing the syn- thetic track at Solomon/ Plains Memorial school. The work will come with a ﬁve- year warranty, instead of a two-year warranty for $91,962 in alternate repairs. Solicitor Ray Wendolowski said the board can still ﬁght to recoup costs from the com- pany that originally installed the track. That company con- tends any apparent damage is due to normal wear and tear, he said. And the board agreed to give $2,5000 in “reimbursable seed money” to the newly re- formed Wilkes-Barre Educa- tion Foundation after one of the people who volunteered to work on the foundation, Frank Pasquini, gave the board a quick overview of progress in the last months and that the group needed some money to pay for further legal work and training. The foundation plans to so- licit donations from business- es and individuals. Pasquini noted 225 district foundations statewide have been raising money primarily through the state’s Education Improve- ment Tax Credit program, which provided tax credits to donating businesses, with many nabbing six ﬁgures in a single year. Katsock, who questioned plans for the foun- dation to eventually use some of the money raised to pay for foundation staff, voted against the seed money. Member Corcoran didn’t take part via Skype, may be removed if he misses April meeting. By MARK GUYDISH [email protected] By CAMILLE FIOTI Times Leader Correspondent Five Democrats and seven or eight Republicans are expected to ﬁle nomi- nation petitions by today’s deadline in the race for ﬁve Luzerne County Coun- cil seats — a number that falls below the expectations of many. In the race for county controller, Stephen A. Urban ﬁled his nomination petition in the election ofﬁce Monday afternoon to run for the Democratic nomination on May 21. A county coun- cilman and former county commissioner from Wilkes-Barre, Urban likely will com- pete against Michelle Bednar, a Conyngham Township tax collector and ﬁnancial securities company ofﬁce manager. Bednar and the two announced Re- publican controller contenders — in- cumbent Controller Walter Grifﬁth and tax accountant Karen Ceppa-Hirko, Wilkes-Barre — must ﬁle nomination petitions by 4:30 p.m. today to get on the ballot. Four Democratic council candidates ﬁled their nomination petitions before the election ofﬁce closed Monday: Re- nee Ciaruffoli-Taffera, Larksville; Eileen Sorokas, Wilkes-Barre; Richard “Kick” Heffron, Dallas and Michael Giamber, Fairmount Township. Incumbent Councilwoman Linda McClosky Houck, Kingston, also an- nounced she will run. County Democratic Chairman Bob Boyer said he does not expect more than ﬁve county council candidates, which means all ﬁve would be guaran- teed to advance to the November gen- eral. Newport Township tax collector Kenneth E. Angradi, a Democrat, said he wants to run but an injury might prevent him from obtaining the 250 signatures needed to get on the ballot. Former county clerk of courts and com- KINGSTON — Lillian Le- novitz Cahn, a graduate of GAR High School and found- er of Coach Leatherware Co., died March 4 in Manhattan. She was 89. She was the sister of Louis Lenart, who is known as “The Hero of Tel Aviv.” Lenart, who lives in Israel, is an ex- Marine and Israeli Air Force ﬁghter pilot who played a key role in protecting Israel from an attack by Egypt in 1948. L e n a r t changed his last name from Leno- vitz. He said his sister was “ be a ut i f ul and a wonderful woman.” “I talked to her a couple of weeks ago,” he said. “She built Coach up from nothing to become an international company.” Attorney Joseph Savitz of Kingston was a classmate of Lenart’s and knew the entire Lenovitz family. “They were a great fam- ily,” he said. “They had their strug- gles, but they came through it.” In a story in August 2010 in The Times Lead- er, Lenart said his family was poor. Savitz said the Lenarts — Rose and Benjamin — owned a small store on East Market Street in the years af- ter the Depression. “Mrs. Lenart made home- made noodles,” Savitz said in the 2010 story. “Lou and his father would walk around and sell them door to door.” According to the obitu- ary printed in The New York Times on Saturday, Cahn and her husband, Miles, founded Coach in a Manhattan loft in 1961. The obituary states Mrs. Cahn designed the ﬁrst successful Coach bag —a tote modeled after a type of paper bag she had used as a girl in Wilkes-Barre that was used to deliver her parents’ home- made noodles to customers. The bag became a classic for the company. The Cahns sold Coach to Sara Lee Corp. in 1985 for a reported $30 million, accord- ing to The Times obituary. Coach reported net sales of $4 billion in 2012. On their 600-acre farm in Pine Plains, N.Y., the Cahns made goat cheese. They sold the farm about ﬁve years ago and returned to live in Man- hattan, according to the obitu- ary. From the New York Times obituary: “Lillian Lenovitz was born on Dec. 11, 1923, in the town of Satorauljaujhely, Hungary, one of four children of Benja- min and Rose Lenovitz, who eventually opened a candy store, among other business- es. Her father immigrated to the United States in 1928 and settled in Wilkes-Barre before FORTY FORT — Police investigat- ing a woman’s screams for help al- legedly discovered several pounds of marijuana, four tanks of nitrous oxide, nearly $6,000 and contraband inside 25 Ransom St. Two tenants of the house, Lauren Ann McDermott, 30, and William F. Clarke, 27, were arraigned Monday morning on drug offenses and each released on $10,000 unsecured bail. They face additional drug charges, po- lice said. Police said the amount of marijuana was one of the largest seizures in the West Side borough.

Suit alleges abuse of inmates in the state By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER [email protected] Solitary conﬁnement for the mentally ill worsens symptoms, suit states. SCRANTON — A statewide organization that represents rights of the disabled has ﬁled a federal lawsuit against the state prison system, alleging mentally ill prisoners have been wrongly sub- jected to hor- rid conditions in solitary con- ﬁnement that have exacer- bated their symptoms. The suit, ﬁled Monday bythe attorney Robert Meek of the Dis- ability Rights Network of Pennsylvania, claims the state has provided woefully in- adequate care for mentally ill in- mates statewide, causing them to act out in ways that result in thembeing unduly placed in sol- itary conﬁnement — known as restrictive housing units (RHU). The suit details cases of 12 in- mates but was ﬁled on behalf of approximately 800 mentally ill inmates the group alleges have been subjected to unconstitu- tional conﬁnement. It seeks to force the state to provide better mental-health treatment and to develop a disciplinary system that takes into account an in- mate’s mental illness. “This is a vile and inhumane way to treat people with mental illness,” Meek said in a press re- lease. “As one judge put it, soli- tary conﬁnement for a person with a mental illness is like an airless room for an asthmatic. Pennsylvania should give these prisoners beds in units designed to help people with mental ill- ness, not devastate them.” Conditions in the RHU’s are “horriﬁc,” the suit states, with inmates being conﬁned to an 80-square-foot cell — the size of an average bathroom — for 23 hours a day. The cells have limited to no natural light and no fresh air. Those conditions cause the inmates mental-health issues to worsen, which leads to addi- tional infractions and additional stints in isolation.

McDermott and Clarke emerged, telling police they were arguing and items were smashed. Police obtained a search war- rant signed by District Judge Rick Cronauer in Wilkes-Barre that led to the discovery of 3 pounds of marijuana, nitrous oxide tanks, a large smoking bong and about $6,000, accord- ing to the inventory receipt. Clarke had $1,567 on him when he was arrested, police said. He told police the mari- juana belonged to him, while McDermott said she owned the marijuana, arrest records say. Police allege in arrest records that McDermott claimedClarke sold marijuana to his friends. Police said the house that was used to package marijuana is within a school zone. A neighbor retrieving a news- paper from her porch on Ran- som Street Monday morning said she was not surprised that marijuana was found inside the house. “There was always people going into that house,” the neighbor said who requested anonymity. “I’m not shocked that they got arrested. We sus- pected something was going on over there.” McDermott and Clarke were each charged with possession with intent to deliver a con- trolled substance, possession of a controlled substance, con- spiracy with intent to deliver a controlled substance and pos- session of drug paraphernalia.

Applauded locally Many of the inmates in the 12 cases cited attempted sui- cide, with one inmate being successful. The ﬁling of the suit was applauded by Barry Dyller, a civil-rights lawyer from Wilkes- Barre who has ﬁled numerous prison rights suits, including one against the State Correc- tional Institution at Dallas in connection with the 2009 sui- cide of Matthew Bullock. Bullock, who had a long his- tory of serious mental illness, was found guilty of third-degree murder but mentally ill for the 2003 strangulation death of his girlfriend, Lisa Hargrave, and the couple’s unborn child. Dyller said Bullock had been housed in the RHU for prolonged periods and was subjected to repeated harass- ment by guards, who allegedly encouraged him to kill himself. He hung himself in his cell on Aug. 24, 2009. That case, ﬁled in federal court, was settled in 2011. “Anyone who does civil rights work knows about the horrendous conditions – condi- tions that are more horrendous than can be imagined,” Dyller said. “I’m absolutely thrilled to see this lawsuit.” The 12 cases cited in the Disability Rights Network suit involve inmates who were in- carcerated at the State Correc- tional Institutions in Cresson, Green, Smithﬁeld, Graterford and Muncy. Cresson, Smithﬁeld and Greene were each home to three inmates; Muncy had two inmates and Graterford one. The suit does not identify the inmates, their home towns or the county from which they were committed. Bullock’s case is not among those cited, Meek conﬁrmed. Dallas Township resident Eu- gene Kelleher has announced his candidacy for Luzerne County Council. A Republican and incumbent council member, Kelleher said he believes the new home-rule government “has made great strides.” Kelleher cited several ex- amples: all candidates for au- thority, board and commission seats were publicly interviewed to select the most qualiﬁed and eliminate nepotism and cro- nyism; all budget discussions were conducted at public meet- ings; and citizen input at public meetings is “encouraged.” County codes and policies must be revised, and Kelleher said he wants citizens to sub- mit suggested revisions to the council clerk. Kelleher said he is seeking a “ﬁnal” term, in part, because he wants to ensure the county con- tinues its “transparent budget process that produces balanced budgets” and aims to reduce the county’s debt. County Council cannot inter- fere with the county manager’s ability to effectively consoli- date parts of county govern- ment “into a cohesive and efﬁ- cient operation,” he said. “The county taxpayers must have a government that encour- ages cooperation and commu- nication between the county manager and the County Coun- cil,” Kelleher said. Kelleher served on Plymouth Borough Council in 1980 and has served as a Little League coach, church choir director and high school coach. He started an ecumenical group in the Back Mountain after he retired seven years ago. He has a bachelor’s degree in math education and a master’s degree in math. Kelleher worked as a high school math teacher for 35 years and in the ﬁnancial-ser- vices sector for eight years. He and his wife, Deborah Anne, have three children and grandparents as well.

TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com TUESDAY, MARCH 12, 2013 N E W S PAGE 4 SUGARLOAF — Luke Bernstein, Gov. Tom Corbett’s deputy chief of staff, said Monday his boss has made tough ﬁscal decisions in his ﬁrst two years and the governor’s proposed 2013-14 budget continues that path to ﬁscal responsibility. “It’s the right thing to do,” Bernstein told about 60 people at the Greater Hazleton Chamber of Commerce Red Carpet Luncheon at Valley Country Club. “We have to get to a brighter, bet- ter Pennsylvania.” With his parents, siblings and friends in the audience — Bernstein grew up in Conyngham — he talked about mountains and valleys and the risks that must be taken to secure a better future for coming generations. “Problem solving — isn’t that what elected ofﬁcials are supposed to do?” he asked. Bernstein said the ﬁscal health of the United States is not good. He cited the national debt at $17 trillion, a system of crumbling roads, bridges and infra- structure and a federal government that was at the edge of the ﬁscal cliff and would permit automatic budget cuts to men and women in uniform rather than tackle wasteful spending. “This type of system limits the pos- sibility of our children and future gen- erations to get to the other side of the mountain,” Bernstein said. “We cannot let that happen.” Bernstein told the crowd that the na- tional debt grows at $10 million a min- ute, that too many around the country remain out of work. “Citizens are losing faith, and the most common words to describe Wash- ington are ‘broken’ or ‘dysfunctional,’ ” he said. Bernstein said the Corbett adminis- tration has: • Created 117,000 new private-sec- tor jobs — 3,200 in Luzerne County. • For the frst time in more than a decade passed two consecutive bal- anced budgets on time and without raising taxes. • Eliminated a $4.2 billion structural deﬁcit. Bernstein said there is still more work to be done. He said the governor has proposed a bold agenda and bud- get for the coming ﬁscal year that will address four key areas: pension reform, privatizing the liquor system, educa- tion and transportation. He said the state’s pension debt ob- ligation is $41 billion and if that came due today, the average state family making $51,000 per year would have to pay $8,000 each in additional taxes to pay it off. If nothing is done, Bernstein said, the commonwealth’s unfunded liability will grow to $65 billion — resulting in thousands more in taxes or drastic re- ductions in spending. “In addition to potential taxes, that total will swallow up money for educa- tion, corrections, safety net programs and economic development,” he said. Bernstein also discussed the gover- nor’s plan to privatize the state’s liquor system. “In Pennsylvania you can’t buy a case of beer at a bar and you can’t buy a six- pack from a distributor,” he said. “And you can’t buy wine or liquor to go at a bar or a distributor and you can’t buy any of the three at a grocery store.” He called the current system “ridicu- lous.” The governor’s privatization plan is projected to generate about $1 billion in additional revenue for the common- wealth over the next four years and the proceeds from the sale of the state stores, he said. “Nothing raises a cry more than then changing the way things have been done for decades, but it is a new day that requires our leaders to think prospectively,” he said. “We can’t look at new things in old ways and expect them to become real. “We can’t keep old systems — the LCB, a broken tax code, an aged infra- structure, or a fear of change — and expect to thrive in a new century,” he said. “The journey takes time.” Gov. made responsible calls, Corbett’s deputy chief of staff says By BILL O’BOYLE [email protected] G o v.

Lillian was valedictorian of her high school class. “Besides her husband, she is survived by daughters, Julie and Susan; son, David; sister, Judy Miller; brother, Louis Lenart; and ﬁve grandchildren.” In the obituary, her husband said his wife had taught him most of what he knew about the dual roles of fashion and func- tion in women’s handbags. It was she, he said, who explained the logic of pockets and helped to pick colors and decide where zippers should and should not go. The obituary said men’s leath- er wallets and billfolds were the company’s original line of busi- ness. “At Mrs. Cahn’s suggestion, her husband began producing a line of women’s handbags in the early 1960s at their small West 34th Street factory, working with a thicker yet ﬂexible kind of cowhide often used in making baseball gloves,” it reads. Mr. Cahn went on to create the dozen other handbag designs that became the ﬁrst generation of the Coach line. Mrs. Cahn be- came the company’s showroom impresario and media agent, ac- cording to the obituary. missioner Tom Pizano also was named by many as a contender, but Pizano said Monday he is still “undecided” and has not collected his own signatures. On the Republican side, in- cumbent Councilman Harry Haas, Kingston, and Hazleton resident Kathy Dobash were the only candidates who ﬁled nomi- nation petitions by the close of business Monday. Republican Paul DeFabo, Wil- kes-Barre, a Realtor at Classic Properties, conﬁrmed Monday he will run for county council. Four other Republicans have announced their candidacy for council: incumbent Council- man Eugene Kelleher, Dallas Township; Joyce Dombroski- Gebhardt, Kingston; Sue Rossi, Butler Township; and Alex Mil- anes, Wilkes-Barre Township. County Republican Party Chairman Bill Urbanski said he also was told Dallas resident Michael Lacey also might run for a party nomination. Lacey, who unsuccessfully ran for council in 2011, has a county council campaign announce- ment online but could not be reached for comment Monday. Independent and third-party candidates may enter the race after the May primary if they collect at least 633 signatures to get on the November ballot. Incumbent Councilman Rick Williams, an Independent, said he is considering seeking an- other term. Boyer said he is “surprised” more citizens are not running for council. When the initial 11 council seats were on the bal- lot in the May 2011 primary, 49 Democrats and Republicans competed for nominations. He partially blames a home rule charter restriction that says county council members can’t be employed or compensated by any person or business that has a contract with the county or any county authority, board or commission. Boyer said he knows viable prospective candidates who can’t run because their employ- ers sell products or services to county government. He does not believe the ban is neces- sary because council members must abstain from voting when there’s a conﬂict. “I think the charter went over- board with that restriction. You have a lot of good people with values and integrity beyond re- proach who are excluded from running,” he said. He also believes some citi- zens are still “reluctant” to get involved in county government because of the past corruption scandal. Lengthy evening coun- cil meeting also are a deterrent, he said. “Who wants to work an eight- hour job and then sit through a council meeting that’s ﬁve hours?” County Councilman Rick Morelli, a home rule charter drafter, said the home rule gov- ernment has been “relatively quiet.” “Usually more people tend to run for ofﬁce when things are not going well,” Morelli said. He also believes some people who would be interested now realize council members are not actively involved in most hir- ing or contract awards because the appointed manager handles day-to-day operating decisions. “Some people want to run where they will have more con- trol,” he said. Morelli said he also spoke with one potential contender who was daunted by the time and travel required to cam- paign countywide. He believes a switch to district council seats is a charter amendment worth exploring in the future. Williams said citizens must view council seats as commu- nity service because extensive discussion and debate will con- tinue to be necessary establish- ing home rule. “The reality of really imple- menting a charter is it takes a lot of work and a lot of time. That may be off-putting to some,” Williams said, urging other In- dependents and third-party vot- ers to consider running. Urbanski said he’s “very glad” Republicans have a full slate of council contenders. Kingston Mayor Jim Hagger- ty, a home rule charter drafter, described the roster of at least 12 candidates plus Independent and third-party competitors as a “signiﬁcant number of peo- ple.” Council members are paid $8,000 per year, compared to past row ofﬁcer or commission- er seats that provided salaries and health care beneﬁts. “I’m delighted with the level of interest,” he said. Comparisons to the ﬁrst council primary in 2011 aren’t fair, he said, because the vote to ﬁll 11 initial council seats was a one-time occurrence he calls the “high-water mark.” “I think now that the govern- ment and professional manager are in place, the urgency that was there in 2011 to run is not there in 2013,” Haggerty said. Haggerty doesn’t support eliminating the council ban on employment with a county con- tractor, saying voters adopted home rule because they wanted such “protections.” He also op- poses council elections by dis- trict. “District elections will lead to entrenchment of incumbents like we have had in state legisla- tive races. Forcing everyone to run countywide prevents that to a large degree,” Haggerty said. WARREN, Ohio — Inves- tigators spent Monday trying to piece together why eight teenagers were crammed into a speeding SUV with- out the owner’s permission when it ﬂipped over into a pond, killing six of them. Authorities gave no de- tails on where the group of friends had been and why they were out around day- break Sunday. But the father of one of the dead said they were coming home from a sleepover at a friend’s house. No one in the group had asked to take the vehicle, and its owner was not relat- ed to any of the teens, said State Highway Patrol Lt. Bri- an Holt. It was registered to someone from Youngstown, about 20 miles away. “That’s all we know right now,” Holt said. State police said the SUV hit a guardrail on a two-lane road in an industrial section of town and landed upside down in about 5 feet of wa- ter, ﬁlling up in a matter of minutes, Holt said. Five boys and a young woman, ages 14 to 19, were killed. Two boys smashed a rear window, wriggled out of the wreckage and swam away, then ran a quarter-mile to a home to call 911, authorities said. Brian Henry, 18, and Asher Lewis, 15, suffered only minor injuries. Investigators said they believe excessive speed was a key factor in the crash, which took place in a 35 mph zone, but they did not say howfast the SUV was go- ing. They were also awaiting the results of drug and alco- hol tests. All eight teenagers were from Warren, a mostly blue- collar city of 41,000 near the Pennsylvania line, about 60 miles east of Cleveland. VATICAN CITY — On the eve of their conclave to select a new pope, cardinals held their ﬁnal debate Monday over whether the Catholic Church needs a manager to clean up the Vatican or a pas- tor to inspire the faithful at a time of crisis. The countdown under way, speculation has gone into overdrive about who’s ahead in the papal campaign. Will cardinals choose Car- dinal Angelo Scola, the arch- bishop of Milan, an Italian with serious intellectual and managerial chops who hasn’t been tainted by the scandals of the Vatican bureaucracy? Or has Cardinal Sean O’Malley, the Capuchin monk from Boston who has charmed the Italian media worked the same magic on fel- low cardinals? Most cardinals already knewCanadian Cardinal Marc Ouellet since he heads a pow- erful Vatican ofﬁce. But may- be over the past week they’ve gotten a chance to hear him sing — he has a fabulous voice and is known for belting out French folk songs. Whoever it is, there were strong indications that plenty of questions remained about the state of the church and the best man to lead it heading into Tuesday’s conclave: Not all the cardinals who wanted to speak were able to Monday, and the cardinals were forced to take a vote about continu- ing the discussion into the af- ternoon. In the end, a majority of cardinals chose to cut short the formal discussion, and the cardinals who did speak short- ened their comments, accord- ing to the Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi. “This is a great historical moment but we have got to do it properly, and I think that’s why there isn’t a real rush to get into things,” Cardinal Wil- frid Fox Napier fromSouth Af- rica said as he left the session. Cardinal Javier Luis Errá- zuriz of Chile was more blunt, saying that while Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger had tremen- dous support going into the 2005 conclave that elected him Benedict XVI after just four ballots, the same can’t be said for any of the candidates in this election. “This time around, there are many different candidates, so it’s normal that it’s going to take longer than the last time,” he told The Associated Press. One of the main presen- tations Monday came from Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, the Vatican No. 2 who heads the commission of cardinals over- seeing the scandal-marred Vatican bank. He outlined the bank’s activities and the Holy See’s efforts to clean up its reputation in international ﬁ- nancial circles, Lombardi said. The Holy See’s ﬁnances, and particularly the work of the Vatican bank have been under the spotlight during these pre-conclave meetings as cardinals seek to investi- gate allegations of corruption in the Vatican administration and get to the bottom of the bank’s long history of scandal and secrecy.

Korea cancels 1953 armistice SEOUL, South Korea — A state-run newspaper in North Korea said Monday the com- munist country had carried out a threat to cancel the 1953 armi- stice that ended the Korean War, after days of increased tensions over its latest nuclear test. A U.N. spokesman said later in the day, however, that North Ko- rea cannot unilaterally dissolve the armistice. North Korea also followed through on another promise: It shut down a Red Cross hotline that the North and South Korea used for general communication and to discuss aid shipments and separated families’ reunions. Enraged over the South’s cur- rent joint military drills with the United States and last week’s U.N. sanctions imposed on Pyongyang for its Feb. 12 nucle- ar test, North Korea has piled threat on top of threat, including a vow to launch a nuclear strike on the U.S. Seoul has responded with tough talk of its own and has placed its troops on high alert. Tensions on the divided penin- sula have reached their highest level since North Korea rained artillery shells on a South Ko- rean island in 2010. The North Korean govern- ment made no formal announce- ment on its repeated threats to scrap the 60-year-old armistice, but the country’s main newspa- per, Rodong Sinmun, reported that the armistice was nulliﬁed Monday as Pyongyang had said it would. The North has threatened to nullify the armistice several times before, and in 1996 it sent hundreds of armed troops into a border village. The troops later withdrew. Despite the North Korean re- port, U.N. spokesman Martin Nesirky said the armistice is still valid and still in force because the armistice agreement had been adopted by the U.N. Gen- eral Assembly and neither North Korea nor South Korea could dis- solve it unilaterally. “The terms of the armistice agreement do not allow either side unilaterally to free them- selves from it,” said Nesirky. A U.N. spokesman says north cannot unilaterally dissolve 1953 deal that ended war. MAIDAN SHAHR, Afghanistan — An Afghan policeman gunned down two U.S. special forces on Monday in Wardak province, less than 24 hours after President Hamid Karzai’s dead- line expired for them to leave the area where residents have grown increasing- ly hostile toward the Americans. Despite Karzai’s orders, the Ameri- can special operations forces remain in the province where dozens of vil- lagers accuse them and their Afghan partners of intimidation through un- provoked beatings, mass arrests and forced detentions. The shootout, which also killed two Afghan policemen, only deepens the distrust. The U.S.-led coalition in Afghanistan says it has found no evidence to sup- port the claims of abuse. But infuriated by the villagers’ allegations, Karzai two weeks ago ordered U.S. special opera- tions forces to withdraw by midnight Sunday from Wardak province, 45 kilo- meters (27 miles) south of the capital, Kabul. Most international forces are sched- uled to withdraw from Afghanistan by the end of 2014. Wardak, like the rest of the country, is slated to be eventu- ally handed over to Afghan forces, but U.S. Gen. Joseph Dunford, the top com- mander of U.S. and coalition forces in Afghanistan, indicated on Sunday that the troops were not leaving Wardak province just yet. “The only issue is the timeline and the methodology, and we’re still work- ing on that,” Dunford said. Wardak has a stubborn insurgency on the doorstep of the capital Kabul and its location has led some U.S. mili- tary ofﬁcials to warn that a premature withdrawal of U.S. special operations forces would open a “six-lane highway” into Kabul for the Taliban. But Afghan security forces disagree, saying they don’t think insurgents can capture the provincial capital. On Monday, an Afghan policeman stood up in the back of a pickup truck, grabbed a machine gun and started ﬁr- ing at U.S. special forces and other Af- ghan policemen at a police compound in Wardak’s Jalrez district, about 20 kilometers (12 miles) east of Maidan Shahr, said the province’s Deputy Po- lice Chief Abdul Razaq Koraishi. Two U.S. special operations forces and two Afghan policemen were killed and four others were wounded in the gunﬁght before the assailant was gunned down, Koraishi said. A U.S. defense ofﬁcial in Washington and a coalition ofﬁcial in Afghanistan said 10 Americans —both special oper- ators and regular soldiers who worked in a combined team — and at least 12 Afghans were wounded in the attack. The ofﬁcial spoke on condition of ano- nymity because he was not authorized to discuss details of the attack with re- porters.

NEW YORK Sugary-drink rule blocked Ajudge struck down NewYork City’s ban on big sugary drinks Monday just hours before it was supposed to take ef- fect, ruling that the ﬁrst-in-the-nation measure arbitrarily applies to only some sweet beverages and some places that sell them. “The loopholes in this rule effec- tively defeat the stated purpose of this rule,” state Supreme Court Justice Mil- ton Tingling wrote in a defeat for May- or Michael Bloomberg and a victory for the beverage industry and others who challenged the 16-ounce limit on sodas and other high-calorie drinks. Further, the city Board of Health intruded on City Council’s authority in approving the size limit, the judge said. The restriction was supposed to start today. The city said it will appeal the ruling as soon as possible. WASHINGTON Obama priorities slashed Senate Democrats are preparing a catchall government funding bill that denies President Barack Obama money for implementing signature ﬁrst-term accomplishments like new regulations on Wall Street and his expansion of government health care subsidies but gives Democrats modest additional funding for domestic priorities like health research. The measure is the product of bipar- tisan negotiations and is the legislative vehicle to fund the day-to-day opera- tions of government through Sept. 30 — and prevent a government shut- down when current funding runs out March 27. Passage in the Senate this week would presage an end to a mostly overlooked battle between House Re- publicans and Obama over the annual spending bills required to fund federal agencies. The bipartisan measure comes as Washington separately girds for weeks of warfare over the longer-termbudget. DETROIT Ex-mayor is convicted Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kil- patrick was convicted Monday of cor- ruption charges and then sent to jail to await his prison sentence in yet an- other dramatic setback for a man who once was among the nation’s youngest big-city leaders. Jurors convicted Kilpatrick of a raft of crimes, including racketeering con- spiracy, which carries a maximum punishment of 20 years behind bars. He was portrayed during a ﬁve-month trial as an unscrupulous politician who took bribes, rigged contracts and lived far beyond his means while in ofﬁce until fall 2008. Prosecutors said Kilpatrick ran a “private proﬁt machine” out of De- troit’s City Hall. The government pre- sented evidence to show he got a share of the spoils after ensuring that Bobby Ferguson’s excavating company was awarded millions in work from the wa- ter department. HARRISBURG Inspector general resigns Pennsylvania’s inspector general is resigning from her post in Gov. Tom Corbett’s Cabinet to take a new job in Ohio.

Tom Corbett — or, in some instances, his wife, Susan —has received free Steel- ers’ playoff tickets, private jet travel, seats at what the Phila- delphia Daily News described as a “swank gala for the Phila- delphia Orchestra,” a vacation aboard a businessman’s yacht in Rhode Island and other gifts from business interests and lob- byists. An insurance executive — the head of a company regulated by the state — even contributed cash to help pay for the ﬁrst lady’s inaugural gown. Another gift — uncovered when the Daily News exam- ined state ﬁnancial disclosure records — was a pair of tickets to the NHL’s Winter Classic at Pittsburgh’s Heinz Field on New Year’s Day 2011. The tickets — tough to get — were valued at $472, and the gift came from lobbyist Robert Kennedy, vice president of gov- ernmental affairs at the Univer- sity of Pittsburgh Medical Cen- ter, Pittsburgh’s largest hospital chain. So? Well, 10 months later Gov. Corbett intervened in what the Daily News described as “a cost- ly, high proﬁle dispute between (UPMC) and that region’s top insurer, Highmark.” That is awfully curious behav- ior for a politician who swept into ofﬁce as a prosecutor of po- litical corruption. The Daily News found that the governor and his wife “ac- cepted $11,343 in gifts from business executives, lobby- ists or lobbying ﬁrms in 2010 — when the former attorney general mounted his successful campaign for governor —and in 2011, his ﬁrst year in ofﬁce.” Some of the examples the Daily News found: •A fight to Pittsburgh on a private jet owned by Frank Schoeneman, chief executive of the Pottsville-based Empire Education Group, a leading chain of beauty schools, valued at nearly $1,407, the price of a ﬁrst-class airline ticket. Ten months after that trip, the gov- ernor signed a bill into law that makes it easier for students at schools such as Empire to ob- tain a state license. •A pair of $2,500 tickets to attend the Philadelphia Acad- emy of Music anniversary con- cert in 2010 and a ticket to the Phillies home opener that year, paid for by the Blank Rome law ﬁrm. That year, lobbyists with Blank Rome, which represent a number of powerful interests in Harrisburg, was becoming more involved in lobbying for natural-gas drillers — frackers. The ﬁrmis listed as an associate member of the Marcellus Shale Coalition. The governor, if you recall, has been a supporter of fracking. •A trip to Rhode Island to spend the Fourth of July week- end in 2011 on a yacht owned by business executive John Moran, whose company, Moran Indus- tries, was running a fracking- well-waste-recycling business in Sunbury. The company was under scrutiny by the state De- partment of Environmental Pro- tection. Moran, according to the Daily News, paid $1,422 for the Corbetts to fy to Rhode Island. The governor’s deputy press secretary, Kelli Roberts, told the Daily News that there was noth- ing wrong with the governor’s acceptance of these gifts. “Gov. Corbett has been clear that he makes all decisions based on what is in the best in- terests of Pennsylvanians,” Ms. Roberts said. “He has always fully complied with both the let- ter and the spirit of our state’s ﬁnancial-reporting laws. His campaign-ﬁnance report and his state ethics reports are both public documents, placed on a state website for all to see. The governor’s actions have always been, and will continue to be, transparent and free of any con- fict of interest.” Transparency? Sure. The ﬁ- nancial disclosure reports are public documents. Maybe it’s just us, but accept- ing gifts from lobbyists for inter- ests that have business before the state — and could beneﬁt from having a friend in the gov- ernor’s ofﬁce — give at least the appearance of a confict. The Daily News reported that the governor’s critics — including representatives of the good gov- ernment group Common Cause Pennsylvania — contend Gov. Corbett’s actions might have violated the Code of Conduct for the executive branch. Under the code, no ofﬁcial “may solicit or accept for the personal use of himself or another, a gift, gratu- ity, favor, entertainment, loan or other thing of monetary value” from anyone seeking business from, or regulated by, the com- monwealth. The maximum punishment for violating the code? Termination. And since you have better odds of hitting the Powerball than expecting the Republican- controlled Legislature to do anything about this, well, don’t expect the governor to be ﬁred anytime soon. That decision will be up to his employers — the voters. York Daily Record OTHER OpiniOn: COnFLiCT OF inTEREST? Governor Corbett gets gobs of gifts MALLARD FiLLMORE DOOnESBURY qUOTE OF THE DAY “I’m welcoming (him) with open arms. I think the president is tremendously sincere. I don’t think this is just a political change in tactic. I think he would actually like to solve the problems of this country.” — Sen. Tom Coburn In a statement as Republican lawmakers say they welcome President Barack Obama’s courtship and suggested the fresh engagement between the White House and Congress might help yield solutions to the stubborn budget battle that puts Americans’ jobs at risk. Yes, I live (and play) with a chip on my shoulder MY ENTIRE life has been deﬁned by the words ‘‘you’ll never make it’’. So hard work isn’t new to me. Some people play football with a ‘‘chip on their shoulder’’ -- I live life that way because I have to. My hometown of Scranton, Pennsyl- vania, made me this way. At the turn of the last century, Scranton was among the fastest growing cities in the United States. But after World War II, Scranton began a decades-long struggle as the times and our economy changed around us. That’s why, in 1989, I was born into a culture deﬁned by a never-say-die work ethic, a stubborn determination to succeed against huge odds, and yes, an attitude. We have to live life with a chip on our shoulders, because anything less guarantees failure. So after a successful high school career, when no colleges came calling with scholarship offers, I took that Scranton determination to Penn State as a walk-on. No big deal, I had already been ﬁghting against the odds my whole life. Coach Paterno didn’t mind; he wanted ﬁghters. He handed me nothing, but expected everything. He made me work, scratch and claw for anything I ever achieved. He was a great man. And every year it seemed there was some new, bigger, taller quarterback brought in to take what I had fought to earn. So I just worked harder. No big deal, Scranton already taught me how to do that. My parents own a small business -- a fower shop in Scranton. Life isn’t easy for them, either. I watched how they dealt with challenges, and every time the world set them back they just worked a little harder. In struggle, failure and setback, I learned strength, honor and determina- tion. Just like everyone else in my town. When the world crashed down on Penn State in an ugly, horrifying cloud, the world around our team seemed to panic. “Penn State football will never be the same” is what everyone outside our locker room said. No way. Not as long as I was wearing the blue and white uniform. Coach O’Brien told us that we were no- body’s charity case, and he was right. We proved the world wrong and we did it by being honorable, hard-working, stubborn as hell, and above all we chose to live up to everything that was great about Coach Paterno’s legacy. As a team, we ran away from nothing. We played the game right, and we played better and harder than most people thought we could. Penn State rose above it all. Not just our football program, our entire community. From the janitors and cafeteria workers who worked hard to support us each and every day, to my classmates, our profes- sors and an alumni who supported us through thick and thin. We came together and we rose up, when so many people out there thought we would break apart and fall down. In success I saw a little bit of Scranton, PA, in our Penn State family. My teammates and our coaches helped me to lead our conference and set a num- ber of quarterback records for the Penn State program. That Scranton chip on my shoulder drove me to succeed where most thought I’d fail -- 6,000+ passing yards, 46 touchdowns, a passer rating of more than 130. I did that as a walk-on, with constant threat from all those recruits brought in to take my job, and through a scandal that threatened the soul of our program and the identity of our school. Apparently, none of this was good enough to receive an invitation to the NFL Combine, the most important show- case before the Draft. The conventional wisdom is that I don’t have the ‘‘measur- ables.’’ Well, I’d argue that victories under more pressure than any other program in America is ‘‘measurable’’ enough to earn a chance to prove what I can do. But I’m not blind to the fact that history hasn’t been kind to quarterbacks my size in the NFL draft. Who cares, that’s been true my entire life. As I said at the start, hard work isn’t new to me because ‘‘you’ll never make it’’ is what I’ve faced for as long as I can remember. Same for my family, my home- town and Penn State football last year. To those saying to me now ‘you’ll never make it’ all I have to say is this: Watch me. You’re damn right I live my life and play football with a chip on my shoul- der, because there is honor and worthy achievement in proving wrong the myth of ‘‘impossibility’’. The McGloin family, the Penn State program, and my hometown of Scranton prove this is true every single day. When I put on an NFL uniform, it will be for them and for everyone out there who’s ever been told ‘‘you’ll never make it’’. The author, Matt McGloin, is Penn State’s All-Time leading quarterback. He is eligible for the NFL Draft in April, 2013. COMMENTARY M A T T M C G L O I N MAiL BAG | LETTERS FROM READERS The real meaning behind one letter to the editor T he letter headlined “Consider choices …”(Feb. 3) seems to be, rather than an insincere play to a voter base, a sincere statement to the public. For example, “Pregnancy is a very emo- tional time in a woman’s life” — thus the letter’s caption “Consider choices before an abortion” is exactly on target — at a pivotal time in a family. Another point in the letter that I agree with is that God forgives an individual for having had an abortion — yes! — but this leaves out that God forgives not having had an abortion that should have been chosen — e.g., that almost surely would have led to higher quality relationships in the immediate family — maybe fowing on to the next generation. David Whitney Wyoming Boy Scouts should be for God and country O bama is trying to make a Godless nation. We the people of America will not let this happen. It is about time Christians stand up for what their religious beliefs really mean. Christians should be heard loud and clear against gay leaders for their sins. These gay groups can make their own Scout groups for their own gay children. Let Christians have their traditional his- toric scout groups run by our churches. Human rights and gay rights groups caution BSA corporate donors that they would lose points is an annual “equality index” if they continued to support the scouts as long as any units were allowed to exclude gays. This is intimidation or blackmail. Religious denominations in our area sponsor Scout units and we as Christians follow our Bible and we love the sinner but not the sin. Join the ongoing campaign to food BSA ofﬁces with calls and e-mails. We have a BSA ofﬁce on Montage Mountain. Also, call for resignation of BSA execu- tive board member, Randall Stephenson, CEO of AT&T, who said last year he would try to move the scouts away from ban on gays. It is our Christian duty to protect children in our Christian nation. Norma M.

The project, which took about a month to plan, was the brainchild of Todd Grudzin- ski, a sergeant with the Exeter Township Police Department who teaches criminal justice at the school. Grudzinski said initial plans were for students to analyze a mock crime scene. When other disciplines within the school heard about it, they wanted to get their students involved as well. “It’s a great exercise. You can only learn so much from a book,” Grudzinski said. The victim, a mannequin dressed in a light green dress, was placed behind the Dump- ster. Blood (actually it was a mixture of corn syrup, red dye and cocoa powder) covered her arms and legs and was splat- tered about several Dumpsters. “What do we have here?” Grudzinski yelled to his team of investigators as they began surveying the scene. “We have a murder, but what about the way she’s dressed? What’s not right?” The students quickly noticed the victim’s underpants were pulled down over her one leg, indicating she was the victim of a sexual assault. “We think it started over there,” said student investi- gator Alice Burton, pointing to blood spatter on a second Dumpster a few feet away. “It looks like she struggled to get away and that’s when he ﬁrst stabbed her.” As Burton, 21, of Nanticoke, analyzed the blood spatter, fel- low investigator Sean Tate, 2o, of Mountain Top, snapped pho- tos and took measurements of the body’s distance from the Dumpster. Details like that are important, Grudzinski ad- vised, because once the body is moved, that information is gone. Ensuring all potential evi- dence — no matter how inane it may seem — is also crucial, Grudzinski told the students. “Anything at a crime scene can be evidence. It can be something as small as a ciga- rette butt or a bloody knife,” Grudzinski said. This scene had lots of things for the students to collect. In addition to the knife and cell phone, they came across a rag draped over a Dumpster and a Styrofoam coffee cup from Dunkin Donuts. Grudzinski watched as they went about their task, taking mental notes of what they did right, and wrong. “I’m not going to give them too much direction,” Grudzin- ski said. “We’ll correct all the mistakes later on.” Over the course of this week the students will piece together the evidence, including phone numbers that were dialed on the phone and a mock DNA sample, and come up with a suspect, who has been pre- determined by the teachers in- volved in the project. It’s quite a story line — one that Grudzinski could not re- veal as it would tip off his crew as to what’s coming. “I wanted to keep it as real- istic as possible because when they’re out there, this is what they’ll get,” he said. The scene was so realistic that passersby didn’t immedi- ately know it was staged. “It’s fake!” Sherry Castrine, the school’s student placement director yelled to occupants of car that slowly drove past the group worked. “I guess we should have put of a sign — this is a fake crime scene.” The students loved the chance to get the hands on training. “In school the teacher talks and you take a test. To actually experience this, you remember it even more,” said lead investi- gator Emily Myers, 20, of Bear Creek. “The hands on experience is great,” added Kaylene Wert, 25, of Wyoming. “The mistakes we are making, we want to make them here versus a real crime scene.” This is the ﬁrst time the school has taken on a project like this. The idea received a great response from students and faculty, said T.J. Eltring- ham, the school’s director. “It’s been a long process but I think the students really en- joyed it,” Eltringham said. “To get all the departments togeth- er that don’t usually interact, and to get them to work togeth- er to get something done, it’s a great project.” 8 0 2 2 1 9 (570) 825-8508 Rain outside got you looking at “snow” inside?

Federal Support Services with other skills. The second phase of up to 216 personnel would take place on April 15. The last phase would take place April 30, when 107 contract workers would be released. The latest news comes after the $309 million in lost fund- ing brought on by the federal government’s sequestration, the across-the-board mandatory decreases to the federal budget. The depot already announced it would deal with the scale-back by cutting back on travel and other discretionary expenses, offering the voluntary early retirement and voluntary sepa- ration incentive pay that 150 employees accepted March 1 and the furloughs of its 3,600 Department of the Army civil- ian employees. According to a release issued by the depot Monday, the facil- ity contracted over the past sev- eral years to support increased depot workload tied to military operations in Iraq and Afghani- stan. But as those operations have ended or begun to wind down, the increased workload seen in recent years has begun levelling off. The rise and fall of workload is a key reason To- byhanna has used contracted workers. The use of contract personnel enables the depot to quickly ad- just to ﬂuctuations in workload, ensuring the depot operates ef- ﬁciently and productively. The end of operations in Iraq and the depot’s increased comple- tion of equipment repairs in re- cent years have contributed to the decreased workload projec- tions this year. Among the impacts of se- questration is no Army funding for depot maintenance in the third and fourth quarter (April 1-Sept. 30) of this ﬁscal year, which accelerates the decline of workload at Tobyhanna. About 700 contract person- nel, including 418 URS em- ployees, work at Tobyhanna. The depot also employs more than 3,600 Department of the Army civilian employees to perform its worldwide mission of maintaining communica- tions-electronics systems for the Armed Forces. No Army civilian employees are affected by this reduction. The Monroe County installation has seen its workforce drop below5,000 this year, but it still remains the larg- est employer in the region. U.S. Rep. Matt Cartwright, D-Moosic, previously issued a statement on the sequestra- tion’s impact on Tobyhanna, which is in his district. He said defense spending should be cut but he didn’t agree with this ac- tion. “We can all agree that, as we transition to a peace-time military, spending will have to decrease. However, the sever- ity and the suddenness of these cuts will impair our war ﬁght- ers’ ability to carry out their missions,” Cartwright said.

Gelman, in the court ﬁlings, listed the reporting delays by the eight young men who testi- ﬁed against Sandusky. He said only one of them reported al- legations of abuse promptly, while the others waited be- tween four and 14 years. “Reversible error was com- mitted when the trial court refused the defense request to give jury instructions on the failure of the alleged victims to make a prompt complaint to authorities based on its view of ‘the research,’ which led the court to believe that in the area of child sexual abuse such an instruction was not ‘an accurate indicia of honesty and may be misleading,’ ” Gelman wrote. The state Attorney General’s Ofﬁce, which prosecuted San- dusky, offered no immediate comment on the Sandusky ﬁlings, one made to the trial judge and the other to Superior Court. Attorney Jeff Anderson, who represents two people with claims related to Sandusky, said the prompt-complaint issue was unlikely to result in a new trial. “I think it’s a shallow and pre- dictably made legal argument that has to be made, but it will effectively go nowhere,” said Anderson, whose clients are not among the eight who testi- ﬁed at trial. Gelman also said the trial judge should have given San- dusky’s attorneys more time to prepare for trial. Other grounds include a prosecutor’s reference during closing argument to Sandusky giving a television interview shortly after he was arrested. Gelman said in an interview on Monday that the message to jurors was that Sandusky had spoken about the allegations on TV but not in court. “That’s a body blow,” Gelman said. “You just don’t do that.” His new ﬁlings also argued the trial judge erred by allow- ing hearsay testimony about a shower attack witnessed by a Penn State janitor. AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER A McCann criminal-justice student named Tonya dusts a beer can left at the mock murder scene for ﬁngerprints. Williams, of Nanticoke, died of multiple stab wounds inﬂicted by an inmate wielding a home- made knife, federal authorities have said. It remains unclear when federal prosecutors will charge Con-Ui. Con-Ui was one of seven men indicted in June 2003 in Arizo- na for their roles in a drug ring that distributed large quanti- ties of cocaine, marijuana and methamphetamine, court docu- ments show. He pleaded guilty on June 20, 2005, to conspiracy to distribute cocaine and a ﬁre- arms charge and was sentenced to 11 years and three months in prison. Court documents detailing Con-Ui’s role in the case were not immediately available Mon- day. But documents related to one of his co-defendants, Gene Lucero, say the drug ring was connected to the New Mexican Maﬁa, which provided security for members who were deliver- ing drugs. According to documents ﬁled by federal prosecutors, the gang was known to “com- mit crimes for as much proﬁt as they can …to extend their reign of power through intimidation and acts of violence.” “History shows that this or- ganization is opportunistic and more than willing to go to great lengths to proﬁt ﬁnancially and extend their power,” U.S. At- torney Paul Charlton said in a reply to objections Lucero had ﬁled to a pre-sentence investi- gation report. According to the reply, gang members had been observed taking part in drug deals, talk- ing about people they needed to murder, including police ofﬁ- cers, extorting money and traf- ﬁcking in stolen property. “The members of the New Mexican Maﬁa have shown a propensity to do anything, in- cluding commit murder, to fur- ther their interests,” Charlton said. The New Mexican Maﬁa was an outgrowth of the Mexican Maﬁa, a gang that was formed around 1974 by a group of His- panic inmates at the Arizona state prison, according to infor- mation on the Arizona Depart- ment of Corrections website. In 1978, the gang split into two organizations, one known as the Original Mexican Maﬁa, the second as the New Mexican Maﬁa. Many assaults and mur- ders took place as a result of both groups claiming the title of Mexican Maﬁa, according to the department.

Borough police responded at about 6:10 p.m. to the area of Petco at the mall, where two witnesses told them a female was pulled into a vehicle be- lieved to be a silver Volkswa- gen, which drove away heading south on U.S. Route 11 towards Larksville. Witnesses reported that a white male in his late 20s to early 30s with short, curly brown hair and a skinny build, and wearing a gray tank top was sitting in the vehicle and pulled the female inside, police said. The female was in her early 20s and was wearing a black tank top. She was screaming, “let me go” while she was being pulled into the vehicle, witness- es told police. As the female struggled, the male began to hit her and pulled her in the vehicle. Once she was inside, they drove off, the witnesses told police.

Edwardsville police probe kidnapping Times Leader staff BALTIMORE — A teacher has ﬁled a formal complaint against University of Maryland President Wallace Loh over the manner in which the school handled its move from the At- lantic Coast Conference to the Big Ten. Ralph Jaffe said he ﬁled the complaint with the Maryland State Ethics Commission on Monday. Jaffe contends that Loh has not responded to his request to call an open-forum meeting by the Board of Re- gents, which approved the move to the Big Ten in a closed session before Loh ﬁnalized the deal on Nov. 20. “I’ve gotten no feedback from Dr. Loh. He’s showed no STATE COLLEGE — Shuttle runs. Forty-yard dashes. Broad jumps. After running through pro day Mon- day at Penn State before about 20 NFL scouts, defensive tackle Jordan Hill is ﬁnally done with the kinds of drills and agility tests required for most draft prospects. “How many times have you ever seen me jump in a game,” Hill asked rhetorically with a chuckle to reporters after his workout. Hill and linebacker Gerald Hodges are probably the Nittany Lions’ two best draft prospects. The seniors helped guide a tough defense that helped Penn State ﬁnish 8-4 in coach Bill O’Brien’s ﬁrst year. For known commodities like Hill, who was invited to NFLcombine, Mon- day presented a chance to improve on particular skills. Hill said he decreased his 40-yard dash time to 4.97 seconds. And he went 111 inches in the broad jump, seven better than in Indianapolis at the combine. The difference? More rest, and less stress than in hectic Indianapolis. He doesn’t mind the agility tests. It’s just that there’s more pressure when dozens of scouts, executives and media are breaking down your every move. And he’s doing all of this, while also ﬁnishing up his degree requirements. When asked about the end of the process, Hill said “he was more re- lieved than anything else. Just because I get to do the stuff (now) that I’ve been doing my whole life.” Hill has been mentioned as a possi- ble third- or fourth-round pick. Hodges said he’s hoping to go in the second or third. Hodges said his main goal on Mon- day was to “just come out here and be a little more sharper on the drills … I just wanted to get out there and look a little fresher coming into the day.” The athletic Hodges said he was measured for a 35.1-inch vertical jump on Monday. He’s had interviews, he said, with Detroit, Oakland, Baltimore, Minnesota and Tampa Bay, among oth- er teams. Hodges is hoping his ability to learn the tweaked defensive system under O’Brien will help show NFL scouts he can pick up new schemes quickly. “I’mnot nervous any more. I feel that all the pressure is off my shoulders,” Hodges said. “I’m waiting for the day that I can suit up in an NFL uniform.” Hodges combined with fellowsenior Michael Mauti to form one of the best outside linebacker duos in the country. But Mauti missed the emotional 24-21 win in the season ﬁnale over Wiscon- sin after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, the third in- jury to a knee in his otherwise impres- sive Penn State career. Considered a second- or even late ﬁrst-round pick at one point, the latest PITTSBURGH — Chris Kunitz planted himself in the crease, bent over, put his stick on the ground and waited. Even as a New York Islanders defenseman leaned on the Pitts- burgh Penguins forward trying to nudge him away from goal- tender Evgeni Nabokov, Kunitz’s skates appeared to be glued to the ice. When the pass came from teammate James Neal moments later, Kunitz — a statue in the middle of chaos — casually tapped it into the wide open net. With an almost sheepish grin the nine-year veteran lifted his stick in celebration, as if to say, “Again? For real?” NEW YORK — College basketball fans with fond memories of the wild 2011 NCAA tournament may have forgotten this fact: A mostly tranquil regular season led up to it, with the four top seeds combining for just 13 loses. Back in 2007, by contrast, the No. 1 seeds had 18 defeats among them. Then the tour- nament started, and the familiar upsets of March were almost nowhere to be found. College basketball analyst Clark Kellogg would love to be calling three weeks full of stunners this year. But he knows it’s hardly inevitable —despite a season when the top- ranked team never seemed safe. “I’ve already told a number of people I hope it plays out the way it did during the regular season, but there are no guaran- tees,” Kellogg said Monday. A chaotic season can turn into a tame tournament for many reasons. Matchups are always part of the mystery. Some years, the top seeds ﬁnd themselves up against a string of opponents they stack up favorably against. Other seasons, they run into a team in an early round whose strengths seem perfectly targeted for what- ever their weakness. Kellogg sounded another note of caution about why the regular season instability may not be a predictor of true March Mad- ness: Tournament games are on neutral courts. “Much of the tumult you see during the Wyoming Valley Motors 126 Narrows Rd.

The banged-up New York Yankees would love to have him. General man- ager Brian Cashman even said so Mon- day, expressing interest in the retired Atlanta Braves star. “He’d be perfect,” Cashman said at Yankees’ camp in Tampa. “I’d take Larry in a heartbeat. I think everybody would.” The eight-time All- Star third baseman — better known by his nickname than actual ﬁrst name — quickly ended such talk. “Enough with the rumors!” Jones tweet- ed. “While I am ﬂat- tered about the speculation of being en- ticed out of retirement, I’m happy with life as a bad golfer!” Pretty much what everyone ﬁgured. “I can imagine a lot of things in base- ball,” Braves coach Terry Pendleton said, “but Chipper playing for the Yan- kees isn’t one of them.” “I think you’d have a lot of people in Atlanta pretty mad if that happened,” he said. “But it might help the Yankees with their attendance. I think a lot of Mets fans would come over to Yankee Stadium to boo him.” Still, it was a fun thought — Jones and Derek Jeter together on the left side of the inﬁeld. At least for a minute. In a jam because of injuries, Cash- man just threw out the idea. “I needed to check it off my list. I had to exorcise that demon,” he said. “I got my answer quick — like 30 minutes.” The Yankees are on the prowl, how- ever. They are missing third baseman Alex Rodriguez, sidelined until July or longer after hip surgery, and ﬁrst base- man Mark Teixeira, out until May with a strained tendon in his right wrist.

Nov. 14-17 —OHLClassic at Mayakoba, El Camaleon GC, Playa del Carmen, Mexico G o L f SamParente made a little his- tory before the start of the base- ball season. Senior Parente (Pittston Area) became one of the few players in the University of Pitts- burgh’s long baseball history to ever wear a “C” on his uniform. He was named the team’s only captain for this season. The 6-foot, 205-pound third baseman was a two-year stand- out at Lackawanna College and then hit .302 with 26 RBI for the Panthers last season. He’s off to a great start this season. In 13 starts, he’s hitting .392 (20- for-51) with two doubles, two triples, nine RBI and 10 runs scored. He kicked off the season by going 7-for-16 with three runs scored and four RBI in a three- game sweep of Wichita State. “Samhas done a very solid job for us,” coach Joe Jordano said. “The teamhas a great deal of re- spect for him and nobody works harder. We felt as a staff that he earned the ‘C’ he wears on his jersey. That honor is not given every year, but Sam earned it.” Another standout for Pitt is junior Matt Wotherspoon (Crestwood). The 6-foot-1, 195-pound right-hander is 2-1 with a 4.61 ERA. In four starts, he has a complete game and has worked 27.1 innings. He’s given up 33 hits and 16 runs, 14 earned, with four walks and 19 strikeouts. “Matt has really matured on the mound,” Jordano said. “Each start he makes he gets a little better. I feel he is going to have a very productive year. He has a great arm and three pitches he can command. He has a bright future with us and beyond.” The Panthers are off to a 9-4 record after sweeping four games to win the Panther Clas- sic in Pittsburgh. ZERFOSS AN ALL-AMER- ICAN: Clarion freshman Sarah Zerfoss (Dallas) competed in her ﬁrst NCAA Division III Swimming Championships last weekend in Birmingham, Ala., and came up with a sparkling ef- fort. She became the 239th All- American (men and women) in Dave Hrovat’s 23 years as Clari- on diving coach. Zerfoss earned All-American honors by ﬁnishing seventh in the 1-meter dive with a total of 425.55 points. She also earned All-American honorable men- tion for ﬁnishing 11th in the 3-meter dive with a total of 414 points. Clarion ﬁnished in 17th place in the team standings, Zerfoss picking up 18 points for the Golden Eagles. OSTROWSKI CHIPPING IN: The Ohio Wesleyan men’s lacrosse team is off to a 3-1 start and senior Chris Ostrowski of Pittston (Wyoming Seminary) is starting at midﬁeld for the Battling Bishops. Ostrowski, a 5-foot-7, 190- pounder, is a key performer on defense. He has nine ground balls and two caused turnovers. He hasn’t scored this season, but has four goals and four as- sists in 37 career games. “Chris is a workhorse for us,” coach Michael Plantholt said. “He is almost always on the ﬁeld during a game and we lean on him heavily every day. He is ex- perienced, athletic and a great leader.” The coach feels that Ostrows- ki’s leadership and conﬁdence are the biggest improvement in his play. “Right now he’s playing with a chip on his shoulder because he knows it’s his last year and it really has helped him focus.” Ostrowski is also a team cap- tain. “There isn’t another player on the team that means more than Chris,” Plantholt said. “I’m relying on him to set the team standard and hold others ac- countable.” GOOD START FOR IN- MAN: Freshman Ashley Inman (Tunkhannock) kicked off her college career by hitting a three- run single in her second at-bat to help her Mansﬁeld softball team open the season with a 6-4 victory over West Liberty. She also had an RBI on a groundout. Inman hit her ﬁrst college home run in a 9-5 loss to An- derson University in South Carolina. An inﬁelder/pitcher, she’s been serving as designated hitter and relief pitcher. She’s hitting .217 (5-for-23) in seven games for the 3-4 Mountaineers. “Ashley has been a great ad- dition to the team,” coach Edith Gallagher said. “She worked extremely hard in the offseason and earned a spot as the start- ing DH. She has also taken on the role of middle relief and is constantly improving on the mound. She is very coachable and learning about throwing to college hitters.” The coach feels that the best is yet to come for Inman. “She is a great competitor and she will continue to get better with more playing time,” Gal- lagher said. Mansﬁeld will play ﬁve games this weekend when it competes in the Salem Invitational in Sa- lem, Va. BIG HIT FOR FURMAN: Bucknell junior Corey Furman (Wyoming Area) hit a two-run home run to highlight a six-run ﬁfth inning to help his team come from behind for a 7-4 vic- tory over Harvard recently in Charlottesville, Va. Furman, a 6-foot-1, 190-pound outﬁelder, is hitting just .189 (7- for-37), but also has a triple for the 2-9 Bison. “Corey has settled in nicely as our leadoff hitter,” coach Scott Heather said. “He has been put- ting quality at-bats together, es- pecially over the last two weeks. He is a hard-working kid who has made the transition from a high school shortstop to play- ing in the outﬁeld on the college level.” BAKER STARTING: Junior transfer Carson Baker (Lake- Lehman) is starting in left ﬁeld in his ﬁrst season with the 6-3 Kutztown baseball team. Baker, a 6-foot-1, 195-pounder, is hitting .193 (6-for-31) in the early going with a double, three runs scored and four RBI. He’s handled 12 chances in the ﬁeld without an error. “Carson has been a big boost for Kutztown baseball,” coach Chris Blum said. “He adds expe- rience and credibility to a lineup that was in desperate need for some power with the loss of our seniors. He is a tireless worker and easy to coach – always tak- ing the extra swings and reps to improve himself as a hitter. He and his family have been a won- derful addition to KU baseball.” WINGERT LEARNING THE ROPES: Freshman Rob- ert Wingert (Holy Redeemer) is seeing action as a backup to sophomore standout David Mol- er with the No. 11-ranked Ste- venson men’s volleyball team. Wingert, a 6-foot-4 setter, has played in ﬁve matches and 12 sets for the Mustangs, who are 11-6 overall and 1-1 in the Con- tinental Volleyball Conference.

He has two older brothers, Pat and C.J. Stats: Krasavage entered the PIAA Class 3A state wrestling champion- ships by going through his ﬁrst 38 matches of the season unbeaten, then ran his record to 40-0 with a pin and a win in his ﬁrst two matches of the tournament. Wyoming Valley West’s all-time victory leader, the Hofstra- bound senior wound up settling for fourth place in the 126-pound weight class, but not before giving four-time state ﬁnalist Connor Schram a tremen- dous tussle and winning a consolation bout to run his season record to 41-2. Pinning it down: Krasavage returned to the state tournament for the ﬁrst time since his freshman season and earned his medal by showing some mettle. He opened the state tourney by pinning Clearﬁeld’s Dylan Graham 1:48 into the match. Then Krasavage downed Dustin Rock from Big Spring 2-1, using a second-period reversal and then fending off a series of shots in the match’s ﬁnal minute. Krasavage fell to two-time state champ Schram from Canon-McMillan by a tough 7-3 decision in the state semiﬁnals, but earned respect by battling head-to- head with a wrestler who reached the state ﬁnals all four years of his high school career. Krasavage then rebounded from that with a 4-2 victory in the fourth-round consolation over Rodney Sunday on Saturday, before falling 8-4 to Tyler Walker of North Hills. Coach’s corner: “I’m really proud of him,” Valley West coach Drew Feldman said. “He wrestled very tough. He had a horse in the semis. I was proud he was able to get his head back and win back. He’s a great kid, on the wrestling mat and in the classroom. He just had a great ride. Couldn’t ask for anything more out of the kid.” Did you know? When he’s not rolling around on the wrestling mat, Krasav- age blows off some steam by playing with his three poodles - “I just walked them, they dont’ shed really, they have all natural hair,” he said - that always provides him with a great escape. From his view: “It broke my heart. I wanted to make top three,” Krasavage said of his fourth-place state ﬁnish. “But top four is (almost) as good. Even against Schram - he was real tough, ranked No. 3 in the nation - I believe I held my own. It deﬁnitely makes you feel good. I held my own with a kid that good. I could only get better from it.” Week in review: A former Times Leader athlete of the week spent the weekend showing off her athletic prowess again, Alexis Lewis scored 17 points, snagged 12 rebounds and made six steals to lead Holy Redeemer over Athens 40-38 in a PIAA girls basketball opener Saturday. Includ- ing in that spree was a dramatic steal and layup with 32 seconds remaining that helped seal the victory. … In Class 2A of the state wrestling tournament, Northwest’s Matt Welliver earned a bronze medal by beating South Side Beaver’s Nathan Reckner 5-1. Welliver wrestles for Benton High School, which has a co-operating agreement with Northwest for wrestling. … Along with Krasavage, a couple of other WVC wrestlers maneuvered their way into fourth-place ﬁnishes at states. Cough- lin’s 285-pounder Brad Emerick won his Class 3A third-round consolation match, while Lake-Lehman’s Austin Harry ﬁnished fourth in Class 2A. … One of the WVC’s premier boys basketball players ﬁnished his career with a ﬂurry as Meyers’ smooth senior Rasheed Moore scored 13 points and pulled down nine rebounds in the team’s PIAA Class 2A opening-round loss to Trinity. athlete of the Week Kyle Krasavage pa’s parente baseball captain at pitt PHOTO PROVIDED Pittston Area grad Sam Par- ente will be the team captain for the Pitt baseball team this spring. CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK/FOR THE TIMES LEADER Wyoming Valley West’s Kyle Krasavage received a fourth-place medal in the PIAA Class 3A wrestling tournament. regular season happens in con- ference play on the home court of the underdog,” he said. Still, Kellogg is expecting a topsy-turvy tournament, evi- denced by his struggle in pick- ing the Final Four. He suggests that two of the top teams will make it to Atlanta, joined by a school from a power confer- ence that had an unremarkable regular season, with perhaps a George Mason-esque squad to round out the ﬁeld. Kellogg bases that as much on the muddle in the middle of the brackets as on the vulnerabili- ties of the highest-ranked teams. He thinks the selection commit- tee will struggle to differentiate programs for the ﬁfth through 14th seeds. “Because of that, you’re go- ing to have some matchups that will create high drama,” he said. “And teams that come out of 8-9 games against certain 1s may be better positioned to move on.” With most conference tour- neys yet to start, the four No. 1 seeds will total at least 16 losses when this season’s NCAA tour- nament opens next week. The contenders for those spots cer- tainly seem very beatable, but perhaps they will roll through the tourney. Maybe Indiana will dominate once it escapes the brutal Big Ten. Maybe Duke is a powerhouse again with Ryan Kelly healthy. Maybe Gonzaga really is as good as its record despite playing outside a power conference. The 2007 and 2011 NCAA tournaments — the two ex- tremes of predictability in re- cent memory — prove that we’re all just guessing. Six years ago, Florida returned nearly ev- erybody from its national cham- pionship team, yet hardly domi- nated during the regular season, losing ﬁve games. The No. 1 ranking was held by ﬁve different schools. Yet this led to an NCAA tournament when perhaps the most surpris- ing development was the lack of surprises. Not counting 8-9 games, there were just two upsets in the ﬁrst round. The worst seed in the round of 16 was a No. 7 — not exactly Cinderella. Seven of the ﬁnal eight teams were top-two seeds, with the lone exception a No. 3. And Florida repeated as champion. Four years later came the Butler-VCU national semiﬁnal. That season, Duke, Ohio State, Pittsburgh and Kansas were the top four teams in the polls, and none strayed very far from there on the way to the No. 1 seeds. They didn’t stick around very long in the tourney, though. One lost in its second game; two others were knocked out in the round of 16. Four double-digit seeds made the round of 16, and no top-two seeds reached the Fi- nal Four. For all the talk about the op- portunity for teams from out- side the power conferences to make a run this year, many of the schools being mentioned for top seeds are established winners: Duke, Indiana, George- town, Louisville, Kansas. And while the executives at CBS and Turner who televise the tournament love those buzz- er-beaters that spring major up- sets, they wouldn’t mind a few big names hanging around, too. “Brands do matter,” Turner Sports chief David Levy said. “It always good to have powerhouse brands that are in the tourna- ment and that get themselves deep into the tournament.” On the eve of NFL free agen- cy, trades involving top receiv- ers Anquan Boldin and Percy Harvin grabbed the headlines. In an odd twist Monday, Bold- in went from the Ravens to the San Francisco 49ers, the team he helped Baltimore beat 34-31 in last month’s Super Bowl. Harvin, who expressed his discontent in Minnesota, was sent to Seattle, where he will join former Vikings teammate Sidney Rice. The 24-year-old Harvin, Minnesota’s moody and multi- talented receiver, will join the Seahawks for a package of draft picks that includes Seattle’s ﬁrst- round selection next month, No. 25 overall. He also must pass a physical. Minnesota will also get Se- attle’s seventh-round pick this year and third-round selection in 2014. League MVP Adrian Peterson was not thrilled over the news. “The best all around player I ever seen or you’ll ever see! Goes to Seattle! I feel like I just got kicked in the stomach. Sev- eral times!!!” Peterson posted on Twitter. Harvin was producing at an All-Pro level until badly sprain- ing his left ankle last Nov. 4 in a game at Seattle. He was placed on injured reserve a month later. He led the NFL in total yards at the time of his injury. Harvin, who also has suffered from migraines, will enter the ﬁfth and ﬁnal season of his rook- ie deal with a $2.9 million salary that’s well under market value -- unless the Seahawks rework it. San Francisco acquired the 32-year-old Boldin for a sixth- round draft pick. Boldin, a star in Baltimore’s run to the Super Bowl title last season, must pass a physical to complete the deal. “Anquan was a great receiver for myself and for our football team,” said quarterback Joe Flacco, who signed a six-year, $120.6 million deal with the Ra- vens last week. “It’s sad to see a guy like that go, but at the same time, you want what’s best for him and you just wish him the best of luck. “Anquan was a big part of this football team, a big part of this offense. He’s one of the main reasons we won the Super Bowl this year.” Boldin had six catches for 104 yards and a touchdown in the Super Bowl victory. He had said he’d consider retirement rather than leave Baltimore. But going to the NFC champions might change his mind. “It’s a business, man. Those things are going to happen,” Ra- vens wide receiver Jacoby Jones said. “I wish Q the best. He’s al- ways a Raven with me, and we got something they can’t take from us.” Added fellow Baltimore re- ceiver Torrey Smith: “It’s not so much about football when you lose someone like that, some- one you love like a brother and would do anything for you.” Also Monday: • The Giants are allowing Victor Cruz to enter restricted free agency, placing a ﬁrst-round tender on the wide receiver. Team owner John Mara said the Giants will risk having Cruz agree to a contract with another club. New York has the right to match any offer. If the Giants al- low him to leave, they will get a ﬁrst-round draft choice as com- pensation. The tender is worth $2.879 million for 2012 for Cruz, who has not made half of that in his three pro seasons. • Cornerback DeAngelo Hall was cut by the Redskins, a casu- alty of the team’s NFL-imposed salary cap penalty. Washington is over the cap because of an $18 million sanction for the way it structured contracts during the 2010 uncapped season. • The Broncos released nine-year veteran linebacker D.J. Williams, freeing up his $6 million salary in 2013 for other needs. Williams missed nine games while serving a pair of NFL-mandated suspensions last season and was deemed expend- able after Wesley Woodyard had a breakout season at weakside linebacker. •The Jets signed quarterback David Garrard to back up -- and provide a challenge to -- starter Mark Sanchez. Garrard has not played in the NFL since 2010. He started 76 games in nine seasons with Jacksonville and played in the 2009 Pro Bowl. • The Cardinals released run- ning back Beanie Wells after four injury-plagued seasons. A ﬁrst-round pick in 2009, Wells showed ﬂashes of the brilliance he had at Ohio State, but has only played one full season -- his rookie year. CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Penn State won its third-straight Big Ten Wrestling Championships title on Sunday, claiming ﬁrst place with a score of 151. The Nittany Lions claimed four individual titles en route to the conference championship. Minnesota ﬁnished in second place with 139 points, while Iowa took third with 133.5.

Mike Lord of the State Ethics Commission says he was not al- lowed to conﬁrm the ﬁling of a complaint. The University System of Maryland would not comment Monday, but noted the Board of Regents has already ac- knowledged its violation of the state’s open meetings act in the wake of a ruling by Maryland’s Open Meetings Compliance Board, which said the regents broke the law with their closed meeting. In spite of the ruling, the Board of Regents face no sig- niﬁcant punishment. Anne Moultrie of the Univer- sity System insisted in an email that “the Board was entitled to consider in private session those aspects of the Big Ten agreement that would have involved disclosure of conﬁ- dential commercial or ﬁnancial information.” She also noted that “it is important to understand that according to the University System of Maryland policy, ad- ministration of intercollegiate athletics resides with the presi- dent of the university. In other words, the action taken by the University of Maryland … did not require approval of the University System of Maryland Board or Regents.” But Jaffe, a proponent for open government, continues his push for a new meeting. injury could concern teams. “His medical exams are go- ing to be crucial to his draft stock,” according to an analysis on NFL.com. Mauti underwent surgery that was performed by Steel- ers orthopedic surgeon James Bradley. He’s still on the recov- ery trail, and didn’t take part in Monday’s workout. But he did meet with about ﬁve NFL scouts. “It really is the biggest job interview as a football player,” Mauti said. “That’s not an exag- geration.” Doctors say his recovery is ahead of schedule. He said he was conﬁdent he would be ready for NFL training camp this summer. Either way, Mau- ti’s leadership qualities remain unquestioned. The ﬁery, hard- nosed player is considered per- haps one of the best leaders to ever come out of Penn State. Quarterback Matt McGloin was Mauti’s roommate during their freshman year and one of the leaders on offense as a se- nior. The rags-to-riches story of the former walk-on from Scranton is now well-known in Pennsylvania after McGloin set several passing records in his only season under O’Brien, the former offensive coordinator of the Patriots. McGloin wasn’t invited to the combine, but did play in the Texas vs. The Nation all- star game last month. Hill, Hodges, Mauti and center Matt Stankewitch were the four Nit- tany Lions who took part in the combine. “For guys that didn’t get to the combine, this was a great opportunity for them,” Mauti said. “You can tell those guys are training hard. I’m proud of them.” McGloin said he’s concen- trated the last few months on getting quicker, losing a little weight and working on foot- work and mechanics. “I showed I had the arm strength capable of playing at the next level. I thought my footwork looked good, but it’s just the way I felt,” McGloin said after his workout. “It only takes one team to fall in love with you.” The Associated Press The Associated Press PsU wins another Big Ten title AP PHOTO Penn State’s Matt Brown, bottom, competes with Iowa’s Mike Evans, top, for the 174-pound championship during the Big Ten tournament in Champaign, Ill., on Sunday.

MIAMI — Gio Gonzalez munched on chicken wings and shrimp scampi at a sports bar in his hometown as he watched Team USA rally to stay alive in the World Baseball Classic. The next game he’ll take in from the mound. The Washing- ton Nationals’ left-hander will start for the United States in its opener of round two Tues- day night against Puerto Rico. The U.S. team rallied with seven runs in the last two in- nings Sunday to advance by beating Canada 9-4 in Phoenix. Gonzalez wasn’t with the team in Arizona. He left the Nationals’ camp in central Florida before the U.S. game Sunday to make the three-hour drive south. “I was so conﬁdent they were going to win,” he said. “I was ready to go.” Gonzalez grew up in Hiale- ah, a short drive from Marlins Park, the site of the second round. “To be a small town kid from Hialeah, Fla., pitching in Miami and representing Team USA, that says it all,” he said. “It’s a kid’s dream. Don’t pinch me. I don’t want to wake up.” The second round will start with a split doubleheader Tues- day. The Dominican Republic will face Italy in an afternoon game, followed by Team USA against Puerto Rico. “At this point, you’re getting the cream,” U.S. manager Joe Torre said. “They’ve all gotten through the ﬁrst round.” The Americans almost didn’t make it. They fell behind in all three games in Phoenix, lost their opener and had to rally in the other games. “It’s March, and we’re play- ing games that feel like we’re in October,” ﬁrst baseman Eric Hosmer said. “That’s the beauty of the World Baseball Classic.” Hosmer hit a three-run dou- ble in the ninth inning to help seal Sunday’s win. “We want to show the world we know how to play,” he said. “For us not to make it here would have been pretty bad.” The Americans hit .297 in the opening round, led by David Wright (5 for 11) and Joe Mauer (5 for 12). Wright had the only U.S. home run, a grand slam that helped beat Italy on Saturday. Eleven relievers have com- bined for an ERA of 1.93. But Torre’s three starters — R.A. Dickey, Ryan Vogelsong and Derek Holland — have a com- bined ERA of 6.00. Netherlands 7, Cuba 6 TOKYO — Kalian Sams’ ninth-inning sacriﬁce ﬂy scored Andruw Jones with the win- ning run, capping a comeback from a two-run, eighth-inning deﬁcit and lifting the Nether- lands past Cuba and into the WBC semiﬁnals. PHILADELPHIA — Spencer Hawes had 24 points and 10 rebounds, Jrue Holiday added 15 points and 11 assists and the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Brooklyn Nets 106-97 on Mon- day night. Hawes set a season high for points and also had seven as- sists while helping the Sixers snap a ﬁve-game losing streak. Thaddeus Young had 16 points and 10 rebounds. Evan Turner also scored 16 points and Dorell Wright had 10. 76ers coach Doug Collins won his 100th game with the team. Deron Williams had 27 points and 13 assists for the Nets, who had won three in a row. Philadelphia grabbed con- trol in the second quarter and never trailed in the second half. It was a rare feel-good win for a team that had high expecta- tions before center Andrew By- num was lost indeﬁnitely with knee injuries. With the Sixers up big, Wil- liams tried to rally the Nets on his own, and for a while it worked. He converted a three- point play and then sank two more from the free-throw line to get Brooklyn within eight in the fourth. But Williams also threw the ball away on a baseline drive, and later missed an open look with the Nets down eight. The Nets missed seven of their next eight shots until Joe Johnson hit a 3 with 1:25 left to make it 101-95. OTTAWA, Ontario — David Krejci scored the shootout win- ner and had an assist in regula- tion as the Boston Bruins defeat- ed the Ottawa Senators 3-2 on Monday night. Tuuka Rask made 30 saves in regulation and stopped three of four Senators in the shootout, including a bizarre attempt from Kaspars Daugavins. The Ottawa forward carried the puck by pressing down with the tip of his stick before attempting a failed 360 move in front of Rask. Shawn Thornton and Daniel Paille scored for Boston, which rallied froma 2-0 deﬁcit to win its 10th straight in Ottawa. Guillaume Latendresse — in his ﬁrst game back from injury since Jan. 30 — and Kyle Turris scored in regulation for the Sena- tors. Robin Lehner made 33 saves through three periods and over- time.

TUESDAY, MARCH 12, 2013 PAgE 5B TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com S P O R T S For real. Such is life these days for one of the NHL’s hottest players, one who has spent most of his nine- year career living comfortably in the shadow of his high-proﬁle teammates only to ﬁnd himself maybe becoming one himself. A quick scan of the NHL’s lead- ing scorers more than halfway through the season includes the usual suspects, including Pitts- burgh’s Sidney Crosby and Tam- pa’s Steven Stamkos at the top. At the moment, it also includes a blue collar guy with a knack for lighting the lamp. Heading into Tuesday night’s showdown with the Boston Bru- ins, Kunitz is third in the league in scoring. His 36 points on 17 goals and 19 assists puts himwell ahead of guys whose resumes are littered with All-Star appearances and whose paychecks come with a few more zeros. The 31-year-old’s plus/minus ratio of plus-21 is the highest in the league and he’s turning an eye-popping 29 percent of his shots into goals. Kunitz, as is his way, insists he’s not doing any- thing differently. Ask Kunitz what’s the secret to the dramatic uptick in his produc- tion and he deﬂects any praise onto a guy more used to the spot- light. “I get to play with the best player in the world every night,” Kunitz said, nodding toward Crosby’s locker. “It makes going out and playing a lot of fun.” Crosby, however, knows it’s more than just luck. While the former MVP appears to be fully recovered from the concussion- like symptoms that basically robbed him of nearly two years in his prime, Crosby says it’s Kunitz who is doing all the hard work, not the other way around. “The way Kuni’s ﬁring the puck right now, he makes all of us look good by putting the puck in the back of the net,” Crosby said. It’s happening with alarming regularity. Kunitz set career highs in goals (26) and points (61) last season while not missing a game, playing most of the time along- side Neal and NHL MVP Evgeni Malkin. Yet somehow he is on pace to surpass both totals de- spite a schedule basically cleaved in half due to the lockout. And Kunitz is doing it in a drastically different way than his linemates. He doesn’t have Cros- by’s breathtaking talent or Neal’s powerful slap shot. What he does have is an ability to work in tight spaces and ﬁnd the puck through a crowd of sticks.

K BUSINESS SECTI ON C IN BRIEF Icahn gets access to Dell docs Billionaire investor Carl Icahn, who is ﬁghting Dell Inc. founder Michael Dell’s plan to take the struggling company private, has entered a conﬁ- dentiality agreement that would give him access to the computer maker’s ﬁnancial records. Michael Dell, who is also Dell’s CEO, is planning a $24.4 billion buyout that would make the Round Rock, Texas, company a privately-owned business. But Icahn and other investors say the price of $13.65 per share is too low. Icahn’s company, Icahn Enterprises, has said it holds a substantial stake in the company. Icahn wants the company to pay a spe- cial dividend of $9 per share, ﬁnanced with existing cash and newdebt, if shareholders reject the buyout offer. AT&T chief earns $21 million AT&T Inc. CEO Randall Stephenson earned $21 million in 2012, a personal record, as his pay bounced back after a less than stellar 2011. The phone company’s board lopped $2.1 million off Stephenson’s pay in 2011 because he engineered the failed deal to buy T-Mobile USA. Opposi- tion from regulators meant AT&T had to abandon the project and hand over $4.2 billion in cash and spectrum rights to T-Mobile. That was a forgotten in 2012, when Stephenson’s pay was back in line with previous years, plus a little extra — his total was 4 percent higher than the $20.2 million he earned in 2010, according to a calculation by The As- sociated Press based on a regulatory ﬁling Monday. Mellon exec gets $13.8M Bank of New York Mellon Corp. paid CEO Gerald Hassell $13.8 million last year, 11 percent more than the $12.4 million in compensation he received in 2011, according to proxy materials ﬁled by the bank. BNY Mellon will hold its annual shareholders meeting in New York on April 9. It will be only the second time since Mellon Financial Corp. and Bank of New York Co. merged in 2007 that the meeting will not be held in Pittsburgh. The meeting was held in New York in 2008. Hassell received a base salary of $1 million last year, up from $866,667 in 2011. The value of his stock awards increased to $6.2 million from $2.5 million. He received no cash bonus last year or in 2011. THE TIMES LEADER TUESDAY, MARCH 12WW, 2013 timesleader.com GAS PRICES YESTERDAY MONTH AGO YEAR AGO Average price of a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline: RECORD $3.69 $3.77 $3.74 $4.06 7/17/2008 Source: AAA report for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre/Hazleton area PLAINS TWP. — About 1 per- cent of the Mohegan Sun at Po- cono Downs workforce has been let go as the company has consoli- dated a handful of management positions in the name of efﬁciency. Mike Bean, the casino’s general manager, said between 15 and 20 of the casino’s 1,700 employees were laid off recently and that an- other dozen or so vacant positions will not be ﬁlled. He said the deci- sions came after a review of ways to operate more efﬁciently. All the cuts were from management and involved salaried employees. He declined to go into details about what departments were im- pacted or what speciﬁc jobs were consolidated, citing personnel conﬁdentiality. There are no plans for addition- al job cuts, Bean said. The layoffs come on the heels of a down 2012 for the state’s ﬁrst casino. It was one of four casinos to see an annual decrease in slot- machine gross revenue from 2011 to 2012. It saw a decrease of 0.27 percent year to year, dipping from $232.8 million in gross revenue at slot machines in 2011 to $232.1 million last year. The downward spiral continued in January and February this year. In January, Mohegan Sun reg- istered the second-greatest de- crease in gross slots revenue of the state’s casinos, dropping 6.14 percent, or $1.12 million from January 2012, from $18,355, 714 to $17,229,093. Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs had the third-largest decrease in year-to-year gross slot machine revenue in the state for Febru- ary, down 13.88 percent, from $20,170,535 to $17,370,134. And January’s table-games rev- enue, while decent at $3.591 mil- lion, was down $707,000, or 16 percent, compared with January 2012. But it was an increase of $272,000 compared with Decem- ber. And a 9 percent increase com- pared with January 2011, Bean said. The state gaming board has not yet released February’s table- games report. The layoffs are not impacting the $50 million, 238-room hotel/ events center now under con- struction and slated to open next year.

SEDER [email protected] LONDON — Clicking those friend- ly blue “like” buttons strewn across the Web may be doing more than marking you as a fan of Coca-Cola or Lady Gaga. It could out you as gay. It might reveal how you vote. It might even suggest that you’re an unmarried introvert with a high IQ and a weakness for nicotine. That’s the conclusion of a study published Monday in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Researchers reported analyzing the likes of more than 58,000 American Facebook users to make guesses about their personalities and behavior, and even whether they drank, smoked or did drugs. Cambridge University researcher David Stillwell, one of the study’s au- thors, said the results may come as a surprise. “Your likes may be saying more about you than you realize,” he said. Facebook launched its like button in 2009, and the small thumbs-up symbol has since become ubiquitous on the social network and common across the rest of the Web as well. Facebook said last year that roughly 2.7 billion new likes pour out onto the Internet every day — endorsing ev- erything from pop stars to soda pop. That means an ever-expanding pool of data available to marketers, managers and just about anyone else interested in users’ inner lives, especially those who aren’t careful about their privacy settings. Stillwell and his colleagues scooped up a bucketful of that data in the way that many advertisers do — through apps. Millions of Facebook users have surveyed their own personal traits us- ing applications including a program called myPersonality. Stillwell, as owner of the app, has received rev- enue from it, but declined to say how much. The study zeroed in on the 58,466 U.S. test takers who also had volun- teered access to their likes. When researchers crunched the “like” data and compared their results to answers given in the personality test, patterns emerged in nearly every direction. You are what you like, at least on Facebook By RAPHAEL SATTER Associated Press NEW YORK — It wasn’t too long ago that America had a love affair with soda. Now an old ﬂame has the coun- try’s heart. As New York City’s ban on the sale of large cups of soda and other sugary drinks at some businesses starts on Tuesday, one thing is clear: Soda’s run as the nation’s beverage of choice has ﬁzzled. In its place? A favorite for much of history: Plain old H2O. For more than two decades, soda was the No. 1 drink in the U.S. with consumption peaking in 1998 at 54 gallons a year, according industry tracker Beverage Digest. Americans drank just 42 gallons a year of water at the time. But over the years, as soda increas- ingly came under ﬁre for fueling the nation’s rising obesity rates, water qui- etly rose to knock it off the top spot. Americans now drink an average of 44 gallons of soda a year, a 17 percent drop from the peak in 1998. Over the same time, the average amount of wa- ter people drink has increased 38 per- cent to about 58 gallons a year. Bottled water has led that growth, with con- sumption nearly doubling to 21 gal- lons a year. Stephen Ngo, a civil defense at- torney, quit drinking soda a year ago when he started running triathlons and wanted a healthier way to quench his thirst. Ngo, 34, has a Brita ﬁlter for tap wa- ter and keeps his pantry stocked with cases of bottled water. “It might just be the placebo effect or marketing, but it tastes crisper,” said Ngo, who lives in Miami. The trend reﬂects Americans’ ever- changing tastes; it wasn’t too far back in history that tap water was the top drink. But in the 1980s, carbonated soft drinks overtook tap as the most pop- ular drink, with Coca-Cola and Pep- siCo putting their marketing muscle behind their colas with celebrity en- dorsements from the likes of pop star Michael Jackson and comedian Bill Cosby. Americans kept drinking more of the carbonated, sugary drink for about a decade. In love with water — again AP PHOTO As sugary drinks come under ﬁre for fueling obesity rates, people are increasingly reaching for bottled water as a healthier, relatively affordable alternative. Already, bottled water has surged past juice, milk and beer.

The Aﬃliate Hospitals of Commonwealth Health: Berwick Hospital Center • First Hospital • Mid-Valley Hospital • Moses Taylor Hospital Regional Hospital of Scranton • Special Care Hospital • Tyler Memorial Hospital • Wilkes-Barre General Hospital The USDA’s Healthy Eating Index found that the average American consumes well under the daily-recommended intake of fruits and vegetables. Unfortunately, there is a common misconception that eating healthy is expensive, and while it certainly can be, it doesn’t have to be. In fact, a study released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture last year found that most fruits, vegetables and other healthy foods cost less than foods high in fat, sugar and salt. These tips will help you save money at the supermarket. •••• Buy in bulk. Bulk foods offer huge savings, but think strategically about what and howmuch you’re buying. Freely reach for shelf-stable items like whole grains, pastas, spices, dried fruits, and nuts, which are much less expensive when purchased in large quantities. •••• Shop seasonally and take advantage of your local farmer’s market, which is a great place to ﬁnd fruits and vegetables when they’re at their most delicious. Farmer’s market produce is usually the same price or cheaper than it is at your local grocery; and since you’re outside, walking around and soaking in the Vitamin D at the same time, it’s a win-win. • When it’s not in season, buy frozen. Flash freezing techniques allowfrozen fruits and vegetables to retain their origi- nal color, crispness, taste, and nutritional value once thawed. Frozen veggies are a great addition to any stir-fry dish; and frozen fruit can be used for baking or whipping up healthy breakfast smoothies. •••• Shop organic — strategically. Organic food is better for you because it contains less pesticide residue, but it can be more expensive. Some foods have higher levels of pesticides than others so if you’re going to buy organic, reach for these ﬁrst: peach- es, apples, bell peppers, celery, nectarines, strawberries, cherries, pears, grapes, imported spinach, lettuce, and potatoes. •••• Don’t overlook the store brand. Ac- cording to Consumer Reports, selecting private-label products over brand-name products can save consumers up to 25 percent. That’s huge! Stores offer tons of healthy options through their private- labels — everything fromfrozen fruit to chicken breasts to eggs. Also, be sure to check the weekly circular at your local store for manufacturer’s coupons, which can help you save even more on your grocery bill. - MCT Information Services HHHHealth THE TIMES LEADER TUESDAY, MARCH 12, 2013 SECTI ON CCCC IN BRIEF Health briefs are limited to nonproﬁt entities and support groups.

That advice comes from Dr. Neal D. Barnard, a clinical researcher, author and frequent talk-show guest known for his advocacy of meat-free diets. Through the years, Barnard has explored how our lifestyle choices, and what we eat or drink, are tied to medical conditions like diabetes, heart disease and chronic pain. But his latest book, “Power Foods for the Brain” (Grand Central Life & Style, $26.99), marks the ﬁrst time Barnard has looked at diet, neurological health and memory — a top topic for the aging baby-boom generation. More than 5 million Americans have Alzheimer’s or related dementias. “We used to think of diseases like infections that we then could treat or cure. But now we realize it’s also what’s on your plate or in that pack of ciga- rettes,” said Barnard. The book also explores how metals commonly found in food, containers and cookware — including aluminum, copper, iron and zinc — may harm the brain, and explains how to protect yourself. The adjunct associate profes- sor of medicine at George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sci- ences said we still have a lot to learn about how diet affects our brains and if shunning animal products can protect us from Doc: Go vegan for a healthy brain By DIANE C. LADE MCT Wire Services See BRAIN, Page 2C Shortly after Dr. Dana Gossett gave birth to her ﬁrst daughter 13 years ago, she began agonizing over worst-case scenarios famil- iar to any new mother. One of those nagging con- cerns: What if I fall down the stairs while carrying the baby? “It’s not something you intend to do, it’s not some- thing you want to do, but it’s a thought that comes unbidden into your mind,” said Gossett, a physician at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Those persistent worries are at the center of a new Northwestern Medicine study that shows postpar- tum mothers are nearly four times more likely to grapple with obsessive-compulsive behavior than everyone else. “Are they really abnormal or a universal experience for all postpartum moth- ers?” Gossett said. “We were frankly surprised by the numbers.” Eleven percent of several hundred mothers surveyed at two and six weeks after giving birth reported obses- sive-compulsive symptoms, such as worrying too much about dirt and germs. The study did not delve into the possible causes of the elevated anxiety, but Gossett offered her own ex- planation. “We know that stress of any nature can trigger OCD,” Gossett said, refer- ring to obsessive-compul- sive disorder. “And we know that child birth and becom- ing a mother is enormously stressful.” Although the fears are common, Gossett said new mothers should think twice if their concerns are caus- ing “signiﬁcant emotional distress” or interfering with everyday life, like prevent- ing them from leaving the garage because they cannot stop checking their child’s car seat. The study, which North- western calls one of the ﬁrst of its kind, could help other researchers determine whether postpartum depres- sion is a gloomy period or its own disease. Gossett is reserving judgment. “The jury is out,” she said, “but it’s a fascinating idea.” Post-partum stress can contribute to OCD, study ﬁnds By PAtrICk SvItEk Chicago Tribune YOUR HEALTH: EATING HEALTHY ON A BUDGET DALLAS — Grant Halliburton was handsome, artistic, bright, popular and loved. He also suffered from bipolar disorder and depression. When he was 19, he jumped off a 10-sto- ry building to his death. His mother, Vanita Halliburton, has gone over this tragedy again and again. If she knew now what she knew then, she believes the outcome might have been different than it was that awful day in November 2005. Mental illness affects 1 in 5 people, but can be successfully treated By NANCy ChurNIN - The Dallas Morning News SIGNS OF MENTAL ILLNESS Signiﬁcant changes in behavior, mood and thinking that have lasted for at least two weeks. For example: increased or diminished appetite and sleeping, changes in hygiene and self-care, activity, behavior, socializing, mood, sped-up or slowed-down thinking, increased smoking and alcohol and/or drug use. Changes that have occurred without an evident cause such as a physical illness or traumatic life event. SOURCE: The Family Guide to Mental Health Care MCT WIRE PHOTO Grant Halliburton Foundation president Vanita Halliburton, right, poses for a photo with the assistance from her daughter Amy Halliburton McCloskey, director of communications, in Dallas, Texas. The two are helping raise aware- ness about teen and young adult mental health and suicide prevention after the death of Grant Halliburton, who took his own life at the age of 19. She created the Grant Hallibur- ton Foundation in Dallas in the hope that the outcome will be dif- ferent for others. The group teaches the signs of mental illness and puts people in touch with available re- sources. It’s a crucial mission because, while experts agree that early in- tervention saves lives, most people wait years before getting help. The delay can be tragic. “We were a typical family,” Hal- liburton says softly on the phone. “We were parents with reasonable intelligence and reasonable means to do whatever it might take to get our son well. And if we didn’t get this right, then what about the peo- ple who don’t have a clue or don’t pay attention to the signs or brush them off?” MMMMission of HHHHope See MENTAL HEALTH, Page 2C Care Credit · Patient Payment Plans · Davis Vision · OpTum Health · SpecTera NVA VBA Superior · Avesis · Eyemed · VSP (Out of Network Provider) · All Optical Discount Plans Some restrictions apply.

I would love to take 1,000 people, throw the bad foods out and see what happens,” Barnard said. He is also president and founder of the Physicians Com- mittee for Responsible Medi- cine, a nonproﬁt that promotes preventive medicine, higher research standards and alternatives to using animals in experiments. Barnard, who grew up on a North Dakota cattle ranch and gradually turned vegan, spoke with us about what to eat, how to break the high-fat habit, and where he dines. Q: You promote going vegan, which means giving up all meat as well as animal- based products like cheese and eggs. Isn’t that too difﬁcult for most people? A: Being a vegan isn’t really that hard. If you compare it with quitting smoking, smok- ing is a 6 or 7. Being vegan is a 2. Start off by trying a three- week experiment. Don’t focus on, “I’ll never again have a ba- con double cheeseburger.” Just do it for now. Many people try diet changes short-term and then realize, “Hey, I really like this.” Q: Research has shown there is a strong genetic link to some type of dementias. So how would one’s diet make a difference? A: Genes are not necessarily destiny. The genes that pre- dispose people to Alzheimer’s disease or obesity or diabetes aren’t dictators. I think of them as committees. They make suggestions, but you can ﬁght back by making healthy changes. Q: What are your favorite food brain-boosters and good habits for neurological health? A: Within the vegetable group, go for color. Green kale, spinach and sweet potatoes are all good. Look at blueber- ries and grapes. And do take a vitamin B12 supplement every day. Also, go to sleep. People stay up too late. At 10 p.m., knock yourself out. Q: Do you have any guilty food pleasures, given the con- straints of being vegan? A: Maybe some dark chocolate every now and then. But really, I don’t ever feel deprived. I go (to vegan restaurants) … dine with cu- linary geniuses, and walk out with a smile on my face. The idea is you can eat in a healthy way and still have a beautiful experience. brain Continued from Page 1C The statistics, as Halliburton says, are shocking. One in ﬁve Americans 18 or older has experienced a diagnosable mental illness or behavioral or emotional dis- order in the course of a year, accord- ing to a 2010 national survey released by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. The survey, of about 67,500 people 12 and older, shows that 5 percent of adults suffer from mental illness so se- vere that it limits major life activities. About 8.7 million people have had serious thoughts of suicide. The sur- vey shows 2.5 million planning suicide and 1.1 million actually attempting it. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, suicide is the eighth leading cause of death overall in the United States and the third leading cause of death for people between the ages of 15 and 24. The good news is that mental ill- ness can be managed successfully with medication and therapy, experts agree. The bad news is that only about 4 in 10 people experiencing mental ill- ness receive services, according to the SAMHSA report. The average time between when symptoms appear and treatment be- gins is nine years. Among the road- blocks to getting help are guilt over the idea that you or the person with the illness is at fault, confusion about what to do and resistance on the part of the loved one to acknowledge his ill- ness, says Dr. Lloyd I. Sederer. Sederer, a psychiatrist and medical director of the New York state ofﬁce of mental health, wrote “The Family Guide to Mental Health Care” (W.W. Norton & Co., $25.95), a practical guide due out in April, which clariﬁes that mental illness is a physiological disorder that is no one’s fault. “There are certain areas of the brain that look different in people afﬂicted with mental illness than in those in- dividuals who are not,” Sederer says. “We have to set aside confusion, sad- ness, anger and despair and get on with what needs to be done.” Sederer says once family members spot the signs, they should be direct when talking to a loved one they think might be suffering. “Describe to the person you love what you see going on. Be speciﬁc. Tell the person, ‘I have not lost conﬁdence in you. I love you and believe in you. I know this is not who you are, this is not the person I’ve known for so long. My love for you insists we ﬁnd help. I will be here to support you.’” Dr. Preston Wiles, a psychiatrist and medical director of the Univer- sity of Texas Southwestern/Children’s Medical Autism Center, was, like Hal- liburton, a panelist on the symposium, “Erasing the Stigma: Mental Illness and the Search for Solutions,” spon- sored by The Dallas Morning News, KERA and Mayor Mike Rawlings in February. He believes eliminating the stigma could make a difference in peo- ple getting the help they need. He’d like to see pediatricians, teach- ers, school counselors and young people learn and report the signs as a lifesaving measure similar to the way we’re taught to stop the bleeding when we see a wound, do chest com- pressions for people in cardiac arrest and use the Heimlich maneuver to re- lieve choking. With 50 percent of those with men- tal illness manifesting signs of their disease before the age of 14, and 75 percent before the age of 24, accord- ing to the National Institute of Mental Health, “we actually have a wonderful opportunity to catch things when we can do the most good,” Wiles says. All too often, people may see signs but are afraid to press forward with questions, particularly in the case of depression, he says. “There’s almost this myth if you talk to someone about whether he or she is suicidal, that will increase the risk, which is totally not true. Most of the time, people are relieved when you ask them. It’s a secret they’ve been keep- ing that they’re scared of. When they talk about it, you can help create a plan for them to feel better and to ad- dress the problem.” A 24-hour suicide hotline and local mental health organizations can be a good place to start if you suspect a problem, experts say. Early resources can include trusted clergy, a family doctor, a pediatrician or a school coun- selor. If further help is recommended, ask for a referral to a therapist or psy- chotherapist, social worker, psycholo- gist or psychiatrist. Many mental illnesses, including all psychotic con- ditions, require a psychiatrist or psy- chopharmacologist to prescribe medi- cations a psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner can prescribe medi- cation under the supervision of or in collaboration with a psychiatrist. Psychiatrists are physicians who can both prescribe medication and per- form psychotherapy; some will just prescribe medication in coordination with therapy by other mental health professionals. Halliburton says if there had been less of a stigma, she might have been able to ﬁnd friends to talk to about her son’s condition. She said she was quick to get him help as soon as his ﬁrst symptom, self-cutting, occurred at age 14, but there was too much she didn’t know. At that time, she wasn’t aware of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, which provides free support groups across the country for family members as well as those who have mental ill- ness. She put Grant in a mental health fa- cility when he left his freshman year of college early, asking for help, but she didn’t know when he emerged from the hospital when, instead of being stronger, he was actually at his most vulnerable. She remembers talking to him on the phone the day he died, two weeks after his release. “I asked him how he was doing, and he said, ‘Great,’ and I thought, ‘He sounds like his old self; he sounds good.’ That should have been the ﬁrst red ﬂag. He felt conﬁdent because he had a plan, a solution to his pain. He was cleaning his room, and I went, ‘Wow, that’s great.’ He had taken post- ers off his walls and given away all his things, including his iPod. And that should have been another red ﬂag. He was putting his affairs in order, tidying up things for his death.” She says she’s since learned that eight out of 10 times when people take their own life, they give warnings. She has those warnings printed on the brochures that the Grant Halliburton Foundation gives to schools, medical professionals, government ofﬁcials and anyone who asks. “My son exhibited every one of the signs on the list in the weeks before his death, but we didn’t know what was going on right before our eyes.” Her decision to start the foundation came soon after his death, in January 2006. It was born out of a cascade of grief and shock, she says. “I kept wanting to know more about what had happened to our wonderful, bright young boy. As time went on, I realized this has got to be about the living. When you’ve had this kind of loss, you know any one teenager you can help, anything you can do to save a life is wonderful. We’re here to make a difference.” COMMON FORMS OF MENTAL ILLNESS Depression: Loss of interest in food and pleasure, slow movements and the feeling of being a burden. This most prevalent of all nonpsychotic disorders affects about 7 percent of adults each year, is the leading cause of disability globally, and can be fatal, leading to suicide. Bipolar disorder: A psychotic disorder, commonly arriving in a person’s early 20s and continuing through adult life, it is characterized by either acute mania an overwhelming state of excitement, agita- tion and irritation, rapid cycling disorder frequent swinging from manic to depres- sive episodes or depression. Schizophrenia: A psychotic disorder usually beginning in late adolescence or early adulthood, manifested by withdrawal, preoccupation with things that others don’t understand, odd choices in clothing, impaired sleep and paranoia as he or she responds to threats or sounds that only he or she can discern.

The retina mirrors general health status, so here’s what experts say are the healthy habits that have a directly protective ef- fect on vision: 1. Exercise regularly. Eyes rely on good circulation. 2. Avoid smoke and other environmental irritants, such as dust and allergens. 3. Eat your greens. A diet rich in antioxidants, expecially lutein and zeaxanthin (found in green leafy vegetables), vi- tamin E (found in nuts), and vitamin C (found in citrus), has been shown to promote eye health. 4. Get some shut-eye: Sleep- ing eyes are continually bathed in tears, which helps clear away dust and allergens. 5. Get regular screenings: After a baseline exam at 40, go back as often as your doctor recommends; after 65, have an exam every 1 to 2 years. - MCT Informaion Services Five ways to protect your vision It might take you a couple days to adjust to daylight sav- ing time but you will indeed get used to that hour of light being swiped from the morning and transported to the evening. If you have difﬁculty sleeping the rest of the year too, there are ways you can help yourself. The most important one might be: Take a walk. A poll released by the Na- tional Sleep Foundation found that people who exercise, even a little, enjoyed more restful sleep than people who got no exercise at all. “I don’t think we can say, on the basis of this poll, that exercise improves sleep, but people who exercise regularly are less likely to report sleep disturbance,” said Dr. Barbara Phillips, the medical director of the sleep lab at the Univer- sity of Kentucky’s College of Medicine. She also helped put together questions for the poll, taken of 1,000 adults ages 23 to 60. The most active people re- ported the fewest problems: Among the respondents who described themselves as vigor- ous exercisers, 83 percent said their sleep quality had been “very good” or “fairly good” in the previous two weeks. But there wasn’t much drop- off for those who exercised less: 77 percent of moderate exercis- es had very or fairly good sleep, and 76 percent of light exercis- ers said that. In the group that engaged in no physical activity, only 56 percent said they got enough sleep. The time of day the exercise took place didn’t seem to mat- ter. Many experts have long urged people to avoid working out right before bed, arguing that sleep comes more quickly when the body is cooled down and not over-stimulated. Among the respondents who exercised within four hours of bedtime, 55 percent said their sleep improved on exercise days; among those who exer- cised further away from bed- time, 54 percent said their sleep was better on those days. The Sleep Foundation has now amended its guidelines to encourage sleepers to exercise, regardless of the hour, as long as it doesn’t come at the ex- pense of sleep. “If you’re a typical American and you have a day job, that only leaves so much time for exercise,” Phillips said. “We shouldn’t give people an excuse to not exercise. What we’re say- ing now, loud and clear, is that unless your doctor tells you otherwise, exercise anywhere, anytime you can if you want to improve your sleep.” The poll also makes a strong connection between a lack of exercise and obstructive sleep apnea, a serious disorder in which the airway is blocked, often by the tongue or other soft tissue inside the mouth or throat. This causes the sleeper to wake up during the night, some- times dozens of times an hour, and the result can be anything from sleepiness during the day to an increased risk of diabetes, depression and heart attacks. Most people recover from the switch in a few days. To make the transition smoother, con- sider these tips: • Get plenty of sunlight in the morning, as early as you can. • Avoid bright lights in the evening, including the use of electronic gadgets that emit LED light. • Even if you’re tired, don’t take a nap.

Consid- er: Women produce one egg a month, which birth control pills have been notably efﬁcient in keeping corralled. Men, however, come armed with hundreds of millions of sperm, so a successful male con- traceptive has to deal with every one of the little buggers. Every one of them! Little wonder, then, that promises of a male pill have rung as hollow as a morning- after’s “I’ll call you.” The sexual landscape may be changing, though, thanks to a University of Minnesota chem- ist who has developed a new ap- proach to bringing men into the world of birth control, short of condoms or vasectomies. Gunda Georg is a professor in the College of Pharmacy’s De- partment of Medicinal Chem- istry. She’s also the one behind the joke that every room of the six-story building is used for re- search, “even the bathrooms.” The National Institutes of Health recently awarded Georg a $4.7 million grant for her con- traceptive work. In a nutshell, here’s what’s new: Most efforts to develop a male contraceptive use testos- terone, but there are side ef- fects: moodiness, which causes researchers to worry, or tes- ticular shrinkage, which causes marketers to despair. Also, men make sperm until the day they die, so any method may be used far longer than women’s birth control. (Quick round of applause for meno- pause.) Finally, any method’s ef- fect has to be reversible. “There’s always been a hor- monal approach to a male pill, like the woman’s pill, which made people think a solution was just around the corner,” Georg said. “But ours is a non- hormonal approach.” Georg’s explanation calls to mind those sex education mov- ies showing thousands of tiny shimmying sperm around a gigantic egg. It’s not that the sperm are shimmying as much as whirling their tales in a circu- lar motion, “like a drilling move- ment,” she said. “What we’re do- ing is trying to slowthemdown. It’s a particularly nice way of thinking about it — immobiliz- ing the sperm.” Working with Joseph Tash at the University of Kansas, Georg found a nonhormonal com- pound called H2-gamendazole that causes developing sperm to be released before they’re fully mature. “We’re not targeting their generation, but their mo- tility,” Georg said. The beauty of slowing the sperm involves another num- ber: During unprotected sex, se- men ends up only a few inches from the back of the vagina. Yet the actual distance that the sperm must swim to reach the egg is equivalent to a man run- ning three miles, according to “The Male Biological Clock,” a book by men’s health researcher Harry Fisch. Would a guy really use a pill —or injection or patch or cream — if given the opportunity? Elaine Tyler May is a profes- sor of American Studies and History at the University of Min- nesota and author of “America and the Pill,” published in 2010. Her research supports other surveys that say men would take birth control. “Even though women are ones who get pregnant, men father the children and unless they’re really irresponsible — certainly they can walk away, but most men don’t — the de- cision of when and how to have children and how to support them is certainly mutual.” May rejects suggestions that sexism held up development of the male pill. Rather, the sci- ence has proven elusive. “Surveys show that men would certainly be willing to share responsibility for contra- ception, and the risks and the side effects if they were toler- able. But up to this point, there hasn’t really been a pill that has shown itself to be tolerable and reasonable.” Other reasons for a male pill are increased protection if both partners use birth control, pro- tection if the woman can’t toler- ate birth control, and — more narrowly — a means of thwart- ing incidents of “she tricked me,” as well as giving high-pro- ﬁle athletes or celebrities an ex- planation for how an alleged pa- ternity can’t be linked to them. The bottom line, of course, comes down to the bottom line. Georg and Tash are ready to talk to the Food and Drug Adminis- tration about clinical testing, which is a huge ﬁnancial under- taking. She’s curious how their non-hormonal approach will be received, but optimistic. “I grew up in the ’60s, when the Pill ﬁrst appeared,” Georg said of her early interest in con- traception. “You wouldn’t think you’d want to burden all the women — that men should be able to participate, as well.” At long last, a Pill for men?

We are middle-aged and have been together for two years. Even though we deactivated our memberships in the dating sites we were part of, we still get emails daily that “‘So-and-So’ sent you a mes-sage.” It appears these sites still show our profiles as active, allowing people to try to contact us. So it’s entirely possible that the women “Dateless” has contacted were inactive or expired members who were never able to see his messages. We would like to reassure “Date- less” that the problem may not be him. We would also like to encourage him not to give up on finding a mate. He needs to get out there and do the things he loves because he may end up meeting someone that way. If he covers all his bases and is himself, he’ll do OK. — Hoping to Be Helpful, Huntsville, Ala. Dear Helpful: Many readers wrote to point out that the problem “Dateless” is experiencing could be more about the idiosyncratic subscription rules on some dating websites than about the writer or the women he is contacting. Other experienced users shared their stories: Dear Abby: How long does one have to wait before determining the person isn’t interested or just hasn’t had the chance to respond? Many sites offer a simple button push that sends a message saying you are not interested. It appears people are sim- ply taking the easy way out without any concern for others. And unfor- tunately, this doesn’t happen only in online dating. — David in St. Louis Dear Abby: I’d like to suggest that “Dateless” consider that many people don’t check their dating site often — or ever. I signed up on a site in August and stopped looking at it in October. Then I forgot my password and could never look again. — Over It in Tampa Dear Abby: Sadly for “Dateless,” many of us women who are also attempting online dating have learned the hard way that any re- sponse can quickly encourage a stalk- er who emails us or sends instant messages relentlessly. I consider myself to be a courte- ous person with Midwestern values, and I tried (initially) to politely respond to everyone one way or the other. It became exhausting because many of the men I sent a polite “no, thank you” to began de- manding explanations, taking my reply as a “maybe” or insulting me for being stuck-up (and the com- munication quickly grew uglier from there). So please tell “Dateless” that it’s nothing personal — we’re just trying to avoid drama. — Pam in Phoenix DEAR ABBY A D V I C E Readers offer advice for those who are discouraged by online dating To receive a collection of Abby’s 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 Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.) ARIES (March 21-April 19). The stars will challenge you to bring a greater degree of organization to the picture. It will be impor- tant to get it together today, because tomorrow you’ll have a wider audience. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You give and give. It will be tempt- ing to think, “When is it my turn to be the one who is given to?” You’ll know when it’s your turn, and until then, keep right on giving. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You value promptness. When it’s not easy for you to get places on time, that’s a sign for you to back off from your crazy schedule and get in control of your minutes. CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s not necessary that all of your devic- es be powered and ready 24/7. Find the off switch. You could start a trend: people talking into one another’s eyeballs. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The arena that opens up will be competitive to say the least. Be on the look- out for opportunities to demon- strate courage and loyalty or to speak up about what you believe. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The situation you’re in is physically different from what it was yes- terday. Tune in to your surround- ings. If you’re going to make this scene work for you, adjustments will have to be made. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When things aren’t going the way you would prefer, sometimes the best solution is to get distance. Escape to a place that is far enough away that all will fade into the background of your mind. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll bring the gift of small surprises to those lucky enough to be around you today. You’ll inject humor into a dry environment or add entertainment to a boring scene. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Go slowly. It’s better to be cautious now, checking and double-check- ing your work. Assume there will be a few mistakes, and actively try to find them. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You will be like a great painter, using color as emotion. Only the colors you choose won’t come from paint. Your clothing and other items of your choosing will proj- ect what you are feeling. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Sometimes people don’t call when they are supposed to or respond when it’s appropriate to do so. This is actually an oppor- tunity for you to get some much- needed peace and quiet. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There’s hard work to do, and you’ll be busy all day. The evening fea- tures a bit of strange magic in which you are both the magician and the amazed audience member. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 12). Consistency of behavior is not to be underestimated now. What you’re doing with your life is important. So be intentional. May brings an interesting twist in the plot of your life story. June deliv- ers the money you’ve waited for. What is your special contribu- tion? You make it big in July. The love you feel will be recipro- cated. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 44, 29, 14 and 22.
