A proposed plan to phase outthe magisterial district courtbased in Freelandwouldnot take

effect until 2018, when the six- year term of current DistrictJudge Gerald Feissner expires.

The plan fur-ther calls forre-alignments of other magist-erialdistricts toeven the num-ber of case fil-ings in each dis-trict court.

LuzerneCounty President Judge ThomasF. Burke Jr. submitted the pro-posedplan undera directivefromthe Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courtsthat is seek-ing to eliminate 50 magisterialdistricts in Pennsylvania.

There are currently17 magist-

erial district courts in LuzerneCounty, including Wilkes-BarreCentral Court, which hears pre-liminary hearings forthe twodis-trict courts in Wilkes-Barre.

Under Burke’s proposal, Ma-gisterial District 11-3-05, held byFeissner since 1982, will be elim-inated and the caseload will beabsorbed by neighboring districtcourts.

Other district courts will losemunicipalities that will be re-aligned with other magisterialdistricts.

LOS ANGELES — AcademyAwards voters have spoken up for“The Artist,” the first silent film totriumph at Hollywood’s highesthonors since the original Oscarceremony 83 years ago.

The black-and-white comic melo-drama took four prizes Sunday,including best picture, actor forJean Dujardin and director for Mi-chel Hazanavicius. Not since the World War I saga “Wings” wasnamed outstanding picture at thefirst Oscars in 1929 had a silent filmearned the top prize.

The other top Oscars went toMeryl Streep as best actress for“The Iron Lady,” Octavia Spencer assupporting actress for “The Help”and Christopher Plummer as sup-porting actor for “Beginners.”

Streep, 62, won best actress forher 17th Oscar nomination, themost times any performer has beennominated by the Academy.

Her third win put her in a cate-gory with other three-time Oscar winners Jack Nicholson, WalterBrennan and Ingrid Bergman. OnlyKatharine Hepburn with four winshad more.

She joked about how many timesshe’s been up for acting’s highest

honors.“When they called my name, I

had this feeling I could hear half of America going, ‘Oh no... heragain,’”Streep said.

Streep played the British primeminister as a senile retiree, as wellas a hectoring, dominant figure whoinstilled fear and respect in her owncabinet. At the film’s pinnacle,Streep as Thatcher is the backboneof a nation that goes to war over thedistant Falkland Islands after Argen-tina invades in1982.

She thanked her fans “for thisinexplicable wonderful career” andpaid special tribute to her husband,

AREA PARTYCELEBRATES THE OSCARS

DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER

That fresh-faced ingénue from ‘The Artist,’ Pep-py Miller, and the pierced and fierce revenge

seeker Lisbeth Salander from ‘The Girl With theDragon Tattoo’ showed up for an Oscar party Sun-day night, along with several dozen Hollywood glit-terati types. Actually, Miller was a costumed LoriPeters of Luzerne; Salander was a costumed JudiSkiro of Luzerne and the rest of the beautiful peo-ple were friends of Jayanne Czerniakowski, whohosted the gathering in her Kingston home. ‘I loveall the glamour and all the dresses,’ Debbie Beynonof Courtdale said with a glance at one of two televi-sions tuned in to the Academy Awards show. Ste-phanie Skiro, center, ‘interviews’ Peppy Miller at theOscar party.

sculptor Don Gummer.

Streep also called out for spe-cial mention her “other partner,”J.Roy Helland, whohas donehermakeup since 1982 in “Sophie’sChoice,” the movie that wonStreep her first best actressaward. Streep also won for bestsupporting actress for the 1979movie, “Kramer vs. Kramer.”

Makeup artist Helland also won earlier in the night, sharing the award for best makeup withMark Coulier.

The 82-year-old Plummer be-cametheoldest actingwinner ev-er for his role as an elderly wid-ower who comes out as gay in“Beginners.”

“You’re only two years olderthan me, darling,” Plummersaid,addressing his Oscar statue in

this 84th year of the awards.“Wherehave youbeenallmy life?I have a confession to make. When I first emerged from mymother’s womb, I was already re-hearsing my Oscar speech.”

The previous oldest winner was best-actressrecipient Jessica Tandy for “Driving Miss Daisy,”at age 80.

Completing an awards-seasonblitz that took her from Holly- wood bit player to star, Spencer wonfor her rolein “The Help”asa headstrong black maid whose willful ways continually land herin trouble with white employersin 1960s Mississippi.

Spencer wept throughout herbreathless speech, in which sheapologized between laughing

and crying for running a bit long on her time limit.

“Thank you, academy, for put-ting me with the hottest guy inthe room,” Spencer said, refer-ring to last year’s supporting-ac-tor winner Christian Bale, whopresented her Oscar.

Her brash character holds apersonal connection: “The Help”author Kathryn Stockett basedsome of the woman’s traits onSpencer, whom she met throughchildhood pal Tate Taylor, the di-rector of the film.

Before taking the stage, Spen-cer got kisses from “The Help”co-stars Viola Davis, a best-ac-tress nominee, and Jessica Chas-tain, a fellow supporting nomi-nee.

Claiming Hollywood’s top-filmmaking honorcompletes Ha-

zanavicius’ suddenrise frompop-ular movie-maker back home inFrance to internationally cele-brated director.

“I am the happiest director inthe world,” Havanavicius said,thanking the cast, crew and ca-nineco-starUggie. “Ialsowanttothank thefinancier, thecrazyper-son who put money in the movie.”

Hazanavicius had come in asthe favorite after winning at theDirectors Guild of AmericaAwards, whose recipient almostalways goes on to claim the Os-car.

The win is even more impres-sive given the type of film Haza-navicius made, a black-and-whitesilent movie that was a throw-backto theearly decades of cine-ma. Other than Charles Chaplin, who continued to make silentfilms into the 1930s, and MelBrooks, whoscored a hitwiththe1976 comedy “SilentMovie,”fewpeople have tried it since talking pictures took over in the late1920s.

The onlyother filmmaker fromFranceto winthe directingOscaris “The Pianist” creator RomanPolanski, who was born inFrance, moved to Poland as achild and has lived in Francesince fleeing Hollywood in the1970son chargeshe hadsex witha 13-year-old girl.

Hazanavicius, known in his

home country for the “OSS 117”spy comedies but virtually un-heard of in Hollywood previous-ly, won a prize that eluded half adozenof France’s most-esteemedfilmmakers, including Jean Re-noir, Francois Truffaut and LouisMalle, who all were nominatedfor directing Oscars but never won.

Martin Scorsese’s Paris adven-ture “Hugo” won five Oscars, in-cludingthe first twoprizesof thenight, for cinematography andart direction. It also won for vi-

sual effects, sound mixing andsound editing.

It was a great start for Scor-sese’s film, which led contenders with 11 nominations.

“The Muppets” earned thebest-song award for “Man orMuppet,” the sweet comic duetsung byJasonSegelandhis Mup-pet brother in the film, the firstbig-screen adventure in 12 yearsforKermit thefrogand company.

Filmmaker Alexander Paynepicked up his second writing Os-car, sharing the adapted-screen-

play prize for the Hawaiian fam-ily drama “The Descendants” with co-writers Nat Faxon andJimRash.Payne, whoalsodirect-ed “The Descendants,” previous-ly won the same award for “Side- ways.”

Woody Allen earned his first

Oscar in 25 years, winning fororiginal screenplay for the ro-mantic fantasy “Midnight in Pa-ris,”his biggest hitin decades. It’sthe fourth Oscar for Allen, who won for directing and screenplayon his 1977 best-picture winner“Annie Hall” and for screenplayon 1986’s “Hannah and Her Sis-ters.”

Allen also is the record-holderfor writing nominations with 15,and his three writing Oscars tiesthe record shared by CharlesBrackett, Paddy Chayefsky, Fran-cis Ford Coppola and Billy Wil-der.

No fan of awards shows, Allenpredictablyskipped Sunday’s cer-emony, where he also was up forbest director and “Midnight inParis” was competing for bestpicture.

NOXEN -- From the outside,the building doesn’t look likemuch: a one-story wood-framestructure with a double-slopedhip roof and deep bracketedeaves that sits along S.R. 3002and Bowman’s Creek in Noxen.

In reality, the former LehighValley Railroad Depot is a veryimportant piece of history, andit’s now considered at-risk.

The building has beennamed as one among 10 statewide endangered resources asa part of Preservation Pennsyl- vania’s 2011 Pennsylvania at

Risk List. According to Preser- vation Pennsylvania, endanger-ment is defined as a “threat of demolition, significant deterio-ration, vandalism, alterationand/or loss of its historic set-ting.” The Depot falls into thiscategory due to disuse and vandalism.

A spot on the at-risk list isactually helpful, as the purposeof such a list is to draw atten-tion to each resource in thehope that action will be takento help further preserve them.

Over the past several yearsthe North Branch Land Trust,or NBLT, a land conservancy

agency in Trucksville, hashelped begin the rehabilitationprocess. While the building isstructurally sound, much workis left to be done on the inside.

Along with the people of Noxen, the NBLT formed theAll Aboard Committee, whichcame up with recommenda-tions on how to use the area. Ithas been settled upon that it’llbe utilized as a communitymeeting space, an exhibit toshowcase local history, and aprime destination along a pro-posed Bowman’s Creek Rail- Trail.

The main repairs call for in-

stallation of a well, bathroomupgrades, and septic and heat-ing systems.

The Noxen Depot was con-

structed in 1893 by the LehighValley Railroad and, thoughclosed in 1963, it’s the last re-maining structure on the line.

Entry into theNew YorkCity Marathonisno walkin the park.

In 2011, 47,000 runners out of nearly140,000 applicants were chosen to com-pete in the Big Apple’s biggest competi-tion.

Butthrougha lottery-styledrawing,the AlliedServices Foundation will be reducing thoseodds by giving onelucky runner guaran-teed entry into the2012ING New York CityMarathon, with pro-ceeds benefiting Ryan’sRun and children andadultswith disabilities.

Last year, 20 runnersfrom Northeastern PArepresented Ryan Leck-ey’s “Team Leckey,” af-ter the WNEP-TV re-porter raised nearly$230,000 for Allied Pro-grams.

Jim Brogna, assistant vice president of advan-cementat AlliedServic-es, said Leckey jumpedattheideatohelpalocalcharity when ap-proached in 2010.

“From the very firstday we connected withhim,it was a hit,”Brogna said.

Thesuccessof thefirst fundraising effortin 2010 helped Ryan’s Run secure bronzecharitystatusas well as severalguaranteedspots in themarathon.

To date,it is theonlycharity in Pennsyl- vaniato begivenbronzestatusby theNYCMarathon.

Other bronze charities involved in themarathon include The American RedCrossand theHarlem UnitedCommunityAIDS Center.

“We were truly honored by the status,”Brogna said.

“Every penny we raise goes towards ei-therpatientcare,clinicaltrainingor to newtechnology,” he added.

Entryinto the raceis extremely compet-itive,with less than 5 percent of non-guar-anteed applicants beingselected.

Allied Services is greatly increasing theodds of securinga spot inthe marathonbylimiting the number of those seeking spots.

“When140,000people apply, it’s youver-sus 140,000 people,” said Allied ServicesSpecial Events Manager CharlotteWright.“Only competing against runners in Pa., youhave much betterodds.”

The 26.2-mile race has become one of the most famous in the world since its in-ception in 1970.

A humbleaffairat thetime,170runnersparticipated in therace that year with just55 crossing thefinishline.

Today, the race is broadcast to an audi-ence of nearly 330 million people, withmorethan$33 millionbeing raised bychar-ities such as Ryan’s Run.

As far as finding his name on a bookpreface he wrote so that he could signthe page? Well, he had a little trouble.

“What he wrote was on the left sideand he began signing on the right,”GlenLyon residentHarriet ClydeKippssaid. “I said, ‘John, you’ve orbited the

person he is. Very down-to-earth andhuman; a good man.”

Kipps, who has written several vol-umes on and is a big proponent of vol-unteerism,was speaking toGlennas hesigned a book that Kipps wrote. Kippsmet Glenn for thefirsttimein the early1990s, while he was serving as senator.Shesimplyaskedhim if hewouldwritea preface for one of her books, and heagreed – it was as easy as that.

His words currently have a home intwo of her books, “Volunteer America”and “Volunteerism,” both of which arecomprehensive guides to national op-portunities for service, training and work experience.

“It was wonderful that someone likehim,whohasdoneso much and issuch

volunteering, which I think is incredi-bly important and needed in today’s world.”

KABUL, Afghanistan — Demonstra-tors hurled grenades at a U.S. base innorthern Afghanistan, and a gun battlelefttwo Afghansdead andsevenNATOtroops injured Sunday in the escalating crisis over the burning of Muslim holybooks at an American airfield.

Morethan 30peoplehavebeen killed,including four U.S. troops,in sixdaysof unrest.Still,the topU.S.diplomatin Af-ghanistan said the violence would not

change Washington’s course .“Tensionsare runningvery highhere,

and I think we need to let things calmdown, return to a more normal atmo-sphere, and then get on with business,”Ambassador Ryan Crocker told CNN’s“State of the Union.”

“This is not the time to decide that we’re done here,” he said. “We have gottoredoubleour efforts. We’vegot tocre-ate a situation in which al-Qaida is notcoming back.”

The attack onthe basecamea day af-ter two U.S. military advisers — a lieu-

tenant colonel and a major — werefound dead after being shot in the headin their office at theInterior Ministry inthe heart of the capital. The building is

one of the city’s most heavily guardedbuildings, and the slayings raiseddoubts about safety as coalition troopscontinue their withdrawal.

The incident prompted NATO, Bri-tainand Franceto recallhundredsof in-ternational advisers from all Afghanministries in the capital. The advisersare key to helping improve governanceand preparing the country’s securityforces to take on more responsibility.

A manhunt was under way for themain suspect in the shooting — an Af-

ghanmanwhoworked asa driver for anoffice on the same floor as the advisers who were killed, Interior Ministryspokesman Sediq Sediqi said. He did

not provide further details about thesuspect or his possible motive.

TheTalibanclaimed thatthe shooter was one of their sympathizers and thatan accomplice had helped him get intothe compound to kill the Americans inretaliation for the Quran burnings.

Afghanistan’s defense and interiorministers were to visit Washington this week,but theycalledoff the trip tocon-sult with other Afghan officials andreli-gious leaders on how to stop the vio-lence, Pentagon press secretary George

Little said. The Afghan officials hadplannedto meetwith DefenseSecretaryLeon Panetta and Joint Chiefs Chair-man Gen. Martin Dempsey.

PODGORICA, Montenegro— American forces are nowmanning a new radar defensesite in Turkey that could helpdefend Europe from a poten-tial Iranian ballistic missile at-tack, the U.S. Army’s com-mander in Europe said Sun-day.

“We have the forces in place... at a radar site in southern Turkey,” Lt. Gen. Mark Her-tling said in an interview atMontenegro’s main militaryairport in its capital.

It is the first time a seniorU.S. commander has con-firmed reports that the NATOdefense shield radar — whichhas caused tensions between Turkey and its Muslim neigh-

The deal with Turkey last year to station the sophisticat-ed radar on its territory washailed by U.S. officials as themost significant militarycoop-eration agreement betweenthe U.S. and Turkey, NATO’sbiggest Muslimmember, since2003, when Turkey angeredAmerican officials by refusing toallowanarmoreddivisiontocross Turkish territory to jointhe invasion of Iraq.

PITTSBURGH — Twenty-oneof the 23 highest-paid employeesat the State Correctional Institu-tion-Pittsburgh are guardsor ser-geantswhomademorethantheirsupervisors last year by earning leave pay, shift differentials andmassive amounts of overtime, anewspaper reported Sunday.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazettereportis basedon payrecordsob-tained through a right-to-knowrequest from the PennsylvaniaDepartment of Corrections, whichshow the topearnerat theprison last year was a guard whose base salary is $51,000 but who collected $139,571 becauseof extra pay, including $75,000 worth of overtime. Meanwhile,the best-paid captain at the sameprison ranked 50th on the high-est-paid list by earning less than$88,000.

Lawmakers and state correc-

tionsofficials acknowledgethosedisparities are causingproblems,including the perception thatpromotions don’t pay.

“When you have good qualityofficers who are not even willing totake thetest (to becomea lieu-tenant) because they don’t wantto take a pay cut in a promotion, what happensthenis perhapsthepeople who do get promotionsaren’t the best qualified,” saidstateSen. DavidArgall,R-Sckuyl-kill. Heis pushinga billto ensurecommissioned officers with therank of lieutenant or above arepaid more than the guards theysupervise.

Roy Pinto, president of theguards’ union, the PennsylvaniaState Corrections Officers Asso-ciation,said understaffingis fuel-ing the extra overtime.

“I’d like to see the prisonsstaffed properly so the overtime was minimal, as opposed to therampant overtime that’s outthere,” Pinto said.

State corrections spokeswo-manSusanMcNaughtontoldthepaper that the state’s prisons areproperly staffed but acknowl-edged“we canrun short ofstaff if we have vacant positions, long-term absences or a higher-than-expected rate of call-offs.”

Statewide, overtime for guardshas increased in recent years to$50 million and the 679 employ-ees of the Pittsburgh prisonearned $5.5 million worth of

overtime last year outof thepris-on’s entire $31.7 million payroll.A typical sergeant at the prisonearned about $21,000 more thanthe typical lieutenant, according to the records obtained by thenewspaper.

The situation is so lopsidedthat some lieutenants have de-manded demotions to sergeantto make more money. A group of supervisors called the Commis-sioned Officers Association callsthem “voluntary demotions” andMcNaughton acknowledges thedepartment isaware of thosecon-cerns.

Pinto said its contract directsthat overtime shifts be distrib-uted fairly ona rotating basisso ahandful of guards don’t collectthe lion’s share of overtime.

DOYLESTOWN — Copperthefts, an increasing problem re-ported by municipalities acrossPennsylvania, are also costing the Philadelphia-area transit sys-tem a half-million dollars every

year, officials said.Lastweek,copper thieves stole

5-foot sections of copper wirefrom the tracks of the Southeast-ern Pennsylvania TransportationAuthority’s Broad Street line. The overnight theft Mondaydidn’t hamper service becausebuses are used instead of trainsduring those hours, SEPTA spo-keswoman Jerri Williams told The (Doylestown) Intelligencer.

Andrew Gillespie, the agen-cy’s chief engineer for power,saidcopperthieves arecosting theauthority $500,000annual-ly.HesaystheBroadStreetlinethieves risked electrocutionbygoing onto the tracks and cut-ting the lines from blocks usedfor the signalization of the sys-tem.

Gillespie says hard econom-ic times and the high price of copper has prompted the in-creasing number of thefts.

On Friday, police in easternPennsylvania said a man wascaughtsawing through livesig-nalwiresalongAmtrak lines inChester County. Gillespie re-cently testified in a Montgom-ery County felony case stem-ming from a Sept. 29 arrest incut SEPTA wires that disrupt-ed train service.

Williams said the agency wants law enforcement offi-cials to understand that suchcases are about not only thecost of the materials but theimpact onthe systemand com-muters.

Gillespie said the authorityis taking steps to reduce theftson its own, marking all of itscopper and informing scrapdealersto beon thelookoutforanymaterialsbroughtto them.

“No one is going to want tostealit ifthereisno placeto sellit,” he said.

SEPTA will begin spraying wires with a chemical that willbecomevisible undera fluores-cent light and will stick to thehands of anyone who handlesit. Williams likened the idea toplacing dye packs in moneybags during a bank robbery.

went to see him to deliver a spe-cial leather-bound copy and myson, Glenn, was my escort. Well, Glenn was in the militaryservice, as John was, and to watch the two of them hit it off was wonderful. To see themlaughing, hands flying, reallyenjoying each other, was heart- warming.”

Kipps said the former Marinepilot’s warm character was fur-ther reinforced two years later, when he saw her on the streetand called her by name.

“His mind is like a steel trap, I was so delighted. He is a genu-ine hero, not only for his per-sonal achievements, but he

does not take lightly his associ-ation with those of us luckyenough to cross his path.”

Though Kipps has met manyprominent public f iguresthroughout the years who sup-ported her writings and ideason volunteerism, she said themost astonishing thing to her isthat they were all simply “hu-man.”

“They’re like me and you,”she said. “Barbara Bush, who al-so wrote a preface in one of mybooks, actually rang me on thetelephone to tell me she put asigned copy of the book in themail. Barbara Bush took thetime to do that.”

Currently, Kipps is in themiddle of writing pieces for herSuper Volunteer Club Myster-ies series, geared toward chil-dren. Her next book, “A Tri-umph Over Pain,” will be re-leased within a month.

money they raise from selling lemonade, but are encouragedtospend a little, savea littleandgive a little back to the commu-nity.

“The program is designed togive children an opportunity todiscover the sky’s the limit,”Mosluk said.

Currently, designated sitesare Kirby Park in Wilkes-Barre, The Rock Recreation Center in Trucksville and the PittstonYMCA. More sites might beadded, depending on the num-ber of children, sponsors andpartners, he said.

Nat said he hopes to have1,000 children register for thefirst NEPA Lemonade Day. Hesaid the Pittston YMCA hasadopted the program and islooking for more organizationsto step forward.

Theprogramdoes nothavetobe run by an organization; par-ents can work one-on-one withtheir children through the pro-gram, Mosluk said.

The program is on its pilot

run, she said. She added it nor-mally takes about four to six weeksto completethe academic workbooks, but children can work on it a little every day andstill have time to complete thelessons.

“We are late in the game; it

usually takes a year to orga-nize,” Mosluk said. “But theflood and then the holidays de-layed us.”

Nat saw Lemonade Day high-lighted in an article in the WallStreetJournal.It beganin Hous-ton in 2007, he said.

WILKES-BARRE – There werea coupleof reasonswhy leek soup was on the menu for the St. Da- vid’s Day dinner Sunday night.

It’s tasty and the plant isoneof the national symbols of Wales

whose people worldwide willhonor their pa-tron saint, Da- vid, on Thurs-day.

Far away from thecountry bor-deredon theeastby England andthe Irish Sea on the west and afewdays aheadof theMarch1 cel-ebration, approximately 100 peo-ple attended the 133rd annualbanquet held by the St. David’sSociety of WyomingValley Inc.atthe Genetti Hotel & ConventionCenter.

They sang hymns and songs intheirnativeWelshand heard fromfeaturedspeakerLuzerneCountyJudge William Amesbury, whodug up some history on the leek.

Welsh soldiers wore leeks todistinguish themselvesfrom theirenemiesdressedin the samegarbon thebattlefield,said Amesbury.

Instead of leekson their lapels,some men at thedinner woredaf-

fodils, only because they had nolilies, another symbol of Wales,added the judge.

St.David, orDewi Sant ashe isknown in Welsh, died on March1in 589, said Amesbury. “I wasamazed as I read about him,” hesaid. The bishop “was a rallying point, a unifying force in the Welsh resistance,” against the in- vading Normans and English.

Amesbury pointed out manynotable and historical figures inthe United StatesclaimWelshan-cestry, including Abraham Lin-coln, Thomas Jefferson, JohnAdams, Howard Hughes, Ogden

Nash, Jasper Jack Daniels andCharles Evans Hughes, the 11thchief justice of the United States.

“The man was a talent, a truepolitical figure, an intellectual gi-ant,” hesaid ofHughes,the focusof muchof Amesbury’s 20-minuteaddress.

Born in 1862, Hughes was aprecocious child,learningto readatthe ageof 3½,masteringGreek

at 8 and graduating from highschool whenhe was13,according to Amesbury. When his parents were considering adopting achild,Hughes told them,“A qual-ity education is far more impor-

tant to have than a playmate,”said Amesbury.

Hughesleft a highlysuccessfullaw practice and sought electedoffice because his “ambition wasto serve,” said Amesbury.

Hughes served as governor of NewYork,was twiceappointedtotheU.S.Supreme Court, andwasamong the justices who opposedPresidentFranklin Delano Roose-

velt’s attemptto pack thecourtinan effort to get through his NewDeal programs, said Amesbury.Hughesretiredfromthe bench in1941 and died in1947.

Amesbury admired the com-

mitment Hughes had to serviceandurged themembers ofthe au-dience to pass on the pride of their Welsh heritage to youngergenerations.

Newly appointed society Presi-dent Anthony T.P. Brooks wascommitted to the task.

“My goal, my hope for us is tobeevangelistsfor St.David,” saidBrooks.

“It was a hard moment for thepresident to get out of.”MickJagger

The Rolling Stones frontman said President Obama

did “very well” when bluesman Buddy Guy

successfully prodded him to join in on a few lines of

“Sweet Home Chicago.” Jagger and other blues greats played the East

Room on Tuesday as part of an “In Performance at the White House”

concert that will air tonight on PBS.

THROUGHOUT MOST of February, the symbols of

Valentine’s Day were everywhere. Hearts, red roses,chocolates and jewelry sales were simply hard to miss.

As I saw these images, Ithought about the inspiring words from Nor-man Vincent Peale, the guru of positive think-ing, who once told us to “throw your heartover the fence and the rest will follow.”

Rev. Peale was reminding us about thepower of having genuine passion and commit-ment. Following our hearts will change lives –ours and others.

Like roses and chocolates on Valentine’sDay, passion and commitment within thesocial service network of our community arehard to miss.

In the last few weeks, dozens and dozens of applications from area nonprofit agencieshave come into the United Way office, allseeking funding to help meet our communi-ty’s most pressing needs. In anticipation of human service budget cuts at the state levelfor the fourth year in a row, United Way fund-ing is as important now as it ever has been.

Implied in each application are the needs of real people, the potential to change lives andthe hope of a better, stronger community forall of us.

Without question, the agencies that submitthese applications have “thrown their heartsover the fence.” Every day, despite limited

resources, they do what they do with passionand commitment.

The programs that are funded with contri-butions to the United Way do change lives. These dollars helped “Nancy,” who was escap-ing abuse, find safety and support at Domes-tic Violence Service Center. They helpedShivon, a child with Down syndrome, com-municate and socialize at the Pittston YMCA.United Way funding also is helping Andrea, aclient at Wyoming Valley Alcohol and Drug,overcome addiction and complete schooling;and it is helping Dolores, a 76-year-young grandmother, remain active and independentby providing her access to Volunteers of America’s Dial-A-Driver program.

This is only a sampling of the work fundedby the United Way. While the stories of service are countless, each is meaningful. Manyfactors contribute to these successes, but theyall have in common the passion and commit-ment of donors, volunteers and service pro- viders who work every day to improve ourcommunity.

As the pending state budget cuts threatento further reduce funding for local humanservices, the United Ways of Wyoming Valleyand Greater Hazleton are holding a “town

hall” meeting from 2 to 4 p.m. March 8 atBurke Auditorium on the campus of King’sCollege, Wilkes-Barre.

State and county funding decisions will becrucial this year. The state is proposing a 20percent reduction in spending in a “blockgrant” approach, which is to provide greaterflexibility in how the dollars are used. Theagencies that might be impacted by thesechanges, consumers and the public are invitedto the informational town hall meeting.

While the funding cuts are expected tobring changes to the social service sector anda reduction of services in some areas is prob-able, what is likely not to change are thepassion and commitment with which ourcommunity serves those in need and oneanother. There will be more powerful storiesto tell.

It seems to me that for so many, the heartis already over the fence … the rest are invitedto follow.

Passion, commitment and your support fuel United Way

W HEN THE COLD

War ended morethan two decadesago, theshadow of

nuclear catastrophe lifted onboth sides of the Iron Curtain. This year, that era of relativecomfort could well draw to aclose; alternatively, the West’sefforts to prevent that fromhappening could trigger a cri-sis of such gravity that count-less millions will be affected.

If that sounds like an alar-mist prognosis, consider thesituationin Iran.Despitean ev-er-tightening net of economicsanctions – not to mention acovert campaign of sabotage –Iranis drawing inexorablyclos-er to achieving the ability tobuild nuclear weapons. At thelast count, 6,208 centrifuges wereenriching uranium insidea previouslysecret plant at Na-tanz. Iran’s scientists soonmight be able to present theircountry’s obdurate and ruth-

less leaders with an invulnera-blemeansofconstructing a nu-clear arsenal.

As William Hague, the Brit-ish Foreign Secretary,warns inhisinterviewwith thisnewspa-per, any such decision on thepart of the regime would trig-ger a “new Cold War in theMiddleEastwithout, necessar-ily,all the safety mechanisms.”

As Hague makes clear, the window to avoid this outcomeis closing. Yet destroyingIran’snuclear installations wouldtrigger a war that could esca-late into a regional conflagra-tion, threatening the globaleconomy by causing oil pricesto soar. The risks attached tomilitaryaction aresuchthatnogovernment presently favorsthis option; even Israel’s offi-cial position remains thatsanc-tions shouldstillbe given timeto work.

WORLD OPINION

Time is running outto halt new Cold War

CHINA IS PUTTINGflesh onthe bonesof itscommitment to worktogether with the Eu-

ropean Union to address the

evolving European sovereigndebt crisis.BothPresident Hu Jintaoand

Premier Wen Jiabao assured vis-itingEU leadersthat thecountrysupports global efforts to backthe eurozone and Europe. OnFeb.15, China’s central bankalsopledged it will increase its hold-ingsof euro-denominatedassets.

China’s willingness to helpclearly goes far beyond rhetoric.And the reason ismore than ob- vious as the two sides rankamong each other’s top tradepartnersand Chinais eagerto di- versify itsportfolioof foreign ex-

change reserves.However, while such external

support isimportantif Europeisto survive the ongoing debt cri-sis, it is unrealistic to expect too

much of such help. The eurozone must come up with a credible long-term solu-tionof its own.

Admittedly, debt-laden coun-triesshould be heldaccountablefor their rapid accumulation of debt, which was enabled by thecreation of the single currencymarket more than a decadeago.But that does not mean EU pol-icymakers can ignore the diffi-cult and painful task of imple-menting fiscal consolidationplans.

Future of the eurozone

MANY YEMENIS arerightly questioning whether the Feb. 21 vote constitutes the

democratic future they havefought for, and in others’ cases,died for; whether this is reallythe promised end to Ali Abdul-lah Saleh’s 33-year rule.

Over a year after Yemenisfirsttook to the streets to demandpolitical reform, the country went to the polls in an uncon-testedelectionin whichex-Pres-ident Saleh’s deputy was thesole candidate.

In a deal signed late last yearand brokered by Gulf states in

Saudi Arabia, where Saleh wasrecovering from wounds sus-

tained in a rocket attack on hispalace, the former presidentagreedto transfer powerto Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.

WhileHadi hasvowed toush-er in major reforms, including the drafting of a new constitu-tion and a reorganization of thearmy, the country faces manygreat challenges, and coupled with Hadi’s ascendancy to pow-erinawaymanyviewasundem-ocratic, it is unclear as to whatthe next few years will hold.

Coupled with endemic cor-ruption, none of these signspointtoward a stable,democrat-ic or prosperous Yemen.

Breast-feeding in publicshould be supported

There is a life-sized statue in Toronto byCzech-born, Canadian sculptor LeaVivot titled “The Endless Bench.” It

portrays two women in conversation, seat-ed on a circular bench. One woman ispregnant and the other is nursing her baby.At their feet, in the middle of the circle,two children play in the sand.

Mothers are welcomed to sit next to thesculptures and nurse their babies whilethey are inspired by the messages carvedinto the surface of the bench. This sculp-ture reminds us all that acceptance of public breast-feeding can facilitate womenenjoying community while easily and nat-urally accomplishing the work of meeting their children’s needs.

The recent “nurse-ins” at Target storeshave brought renewed attention to thetopic of breast-feeding in public. There aretwo main reasons why cultural acceptanceof breast-feeding in public is an importantfactor to facilitate breast-feeding initiationand duration. When a woman is not com-fortable breast-feeding in public it can beharder for her to breast-feed exclusively forsix months and at least until a baby’s firstbirthday, as recommended. Restricting

excursions or pumping milk for bottles,two options open to this mother, are bothsolutions that can limit the breast-feeding relationship.

The second reason has to do with ababy’s right to be fed when he or she be-comes hungry or needs comfort. It is notuncommon to see a baby feeding from abottle or being soothed with a pacifier in apublic place. Even if a mother and her babyare in public, a breast-fed baby, like hisformula-fed counterpart, has a right to befed and comforted.

For more information on how breast-feeding can work for you and your baby,contact the Luzerne County Breastfeeding Coalition at (570) 808-5534.

The coalition is comprised of repre-sentatives from Northeastern Pennsylvania whose mission is to establish breast-feed-

ing as the cultural norm in our community.

Whatever you call it,it’s money we owe

Former Luzerne County CommissionerSteve Urban stated at a recent councilmeeting that the levee tax on 11com-

munities is not a tax, but a fee. The water company states the $19.99 on

my bill is a surcharge. My energy providersays this is a gross receipt sales tax. Tenexcise taxes appear on the phone bill, notan “exercise tax.”

The new county council just raised taxesby 2 percent, so I can share with my neigh-bor the “cost of services.” The countygovernment will give a grant to those who

apply, but it’s not tax money or a fee; it’s a“grant.”

All of these different names for moneyderived from the people are enough tomake one dizzy.

hit the market in July.In a sad way, the timing couldn’t be better for Manasco.

With theJerry Sanduskysexualabuseallegationsattractingwide-spread media interest, childabuse is at the forefront of manypeople’s minds as the details of thecasecontinueto bemadepub-lic. The retired Penn State defen-sivecoordinator is accusedof mo-lesting at least10 boys through acharity he founded called TheSecond Mile.

“It’s unfortunate that you havethis situation, butif youcan useitto educatepeople andreduce therisk of thishappening again,thenit’s fortunate,”Manasco,of Dallas Township, said.

He said the publisher, sensing the connection to the Sanduskycase and the relevance of thebook, has pushed the publicationdateup three to four months.

“They’re moving fast on this,”Manasco said, noting that thebook was written five years agobut sat on a shelf waiting for his wife, Katharine, to illustrate thepart of the book geared towardchildren.

The 80-page paperback bookhas two sections.

One, the shorter of the two, isgeared toward adults, parents,

teachers,counselorsand otherca-regivers. The second, composedof nearly 60 illustrated pages, isgeared for adults to read to chil-drenas an educational tool.

Manasco said studies havefound that abuse among children with disabilities is exponentiallyhigher than amongregular peers,aboutthreeor four times therate.

Andif thechildhas autism, therates areseven times higherthana non-special-needschild,he said.

Mostly, Manasco said, the

abuse is prevalent because theydon’t know what is and isn’t ap-propriateor whatto doif theydoknow.

“They’re basically just sitting ducks,” Manasco said.

“They are possibly the most vulnerable children outside of in-fants,” saidthe professor, whohas written one prior book on behav-ior modification techniques forchildren with autism and otherneurological disorders who dis-play aggression and tantrum be-

havior.Sandusky’s trial is tentatively

scheduledto start inMay ,and it’snot clear if any of the alleged vic-tims were mentally or physicallyhandicapped.

Manasco saidthe book,thoughgeared toward children with de- velopmental disabilities, can stillbeusedas a resource forall youth who may not understand “whatkind of touching is right or wrong, whatkind of interactionisappropriate or inappropriate.”

The vacant district judge seatin Pittston will beon theballot in2013. AttorneyMark Singer, a for-mer assistant district attorneyand current public defender, andArthur Bobbouine, LuzerneCounty deputy prothonotary,have expressed interest in cam-paigning for the vacant seat.

Several wards in Wilkes-Barre will be reassigned from Magist-erial District Court 11-1-02, cur-rentlyheldby DistrictJudgeMar-tin Kane, to Magisterial DistrictCourt11-1-01, heldby newlyelect-ed District Judge Rich Cronauer.

Despite the proposed plan tophaseout the Freeland-basedma-gisterial district,Feissnersaid heremains optimistic.

“This is a proposed plan thatdoesn’t take effect until 2018,”Feissner said. “Changes cancome at any time. It’s just a pro-posal.I’m goingto continueto dothe job for the next six years.”

“Itis possible thismaynot take

effect for a number of years, notmore than six years out,” Burkesaid about the proposed plan.“There may be the likelihood of other opportunities to present it-self during that interim.”

Feissner’s courtroom is locatedinside the Freeland MunicipalBuilding. Rent for thecourtroomand offices is $10,500, according to the Luzerne County 2012 bud-

News Sunday.” In his one term

as Massachusetts governor, hesaid, he balanced budgets, re-duced taxes, enforced immigra-tion laws, “stood up for tradi-tional marriage”and was“a pro-life governor.”

“I’m a solid conservative,” hesaid.

Theexchangehighlightedthechoice facing Republican votersin Arizona and Michigan on Tuesday, and another10 statesa week after that.

Romney did pick up the en-dorsement of Arizona Gov. JanBrewer on Sunday.

Conservative activists dom-inate the GOP primaries. Butparty regulars fear too much fo-cuson theRepublican right willleave the eventual nomineepoorly positioned to confrontObama in November, when in-dependent voters will be cru-cial.

Santorum, a heroto anti-abor-tion and home-schooling advo-cates, disputes that argument. The way tobeatObama,he saidSunday, is with an unvarnishedconservative whose views dra-matically clash with the presi-dent’s on the economy, churchand state,energy,foreign policyand other issues.

He said the party needs“someone who can paint a verydifferent vision of the country.”

Romney and Santorum hitObama on many issues, includ-ing the president’s apology for

the actions of U.S. troops whoburned Qurans — inadvertent-ly, they said— whiledestroying documents on a militarybase inAfghanistan.

Romney said that for manyAmericans, the apology “sticksin their throat.”

“We’ve made an enormouscontribution to help the peoplethereachieve freedom,” he said.“And for us to be apologizing ata time like this is something which is very difficult for theAmerican people to counte-nance.”

As for U.S. troops in Afghan-istan, Romney said Obama“made anenormouserrorby an-nouncingthe withdrawaldate of our surge forces during thefighting season.”

Santorum portrayed Obama’sapology for the burned Quransas further proof that the presi-dent istryingto appease“forcesof evil” bent on America’s de-struction. To apologize rather

than simply note a mistake wasmade,he said, “not only encour-ages them, but I believe, incitesthem.”

Santorum criticized Obamain appearances on NBC’s andABC’s Sunday talk shows, but

hewas more animatedandemo-tional inhis noonspeechto vot-ers in Marquette. He told themthe president “has systematical-lytakeneveryopportunitytotryto take control of different sec-tors of the economy; tried totake your freedom and opportu-nity away from youandgiveit topeople who know better than you how to run your lives, or your business.”

Santorum got a rare hostilequestionfrom WallyTuccini,57,a heavy-equipment operatorfrom Marquette. Tuccini saidhismotherwasa RomanCathol-ic whopersonally opposedbirthcontrol, as does Santorum. When she delivered her eighthchild, Tuccini said, the family was so poor they barely ob-tained essential medical care intime, and he asked why Santo-rumwants toreduce thegovern-ment’s social safety net.

“We don’t need a governmenthealth care plan to be able tosolve the problem,” Santorumreplied.“Whatweneedisaproc-essin thiscountrywherepeople will have an opportunity to gooutand usetheir resources, like wedo in thiscountry with hous-ing,” cars and clothing.

Santorum noted he supportsa refundable tax credit for low-income people seeking healthinsurance. He did not offer de-tails, nor does his campaign website.

Romney, who campaignedSunday in Traverse City, Mich.,and Daytona, Fla., defended hisproposal to cut income taxesacross the board.

“I want to make sure that wemaintain the progressivity of the code,” he told Fox News.“AndI want tohelppeoplewhoIthink have been most hurt bythe Obama economy — andthat’s middle-income Ameri-cans.” Romney said he wants to“lower the marginal rate for allAmericans.”

Former House speaker NewtGingrich is not competing inMichigan. He attended churchservices Sunday in Georgia, where he launched his politicalcareer, and warned an audiencethatthe“secularleft”was trying to undermine principles estab-lished by the Founding Fathers.He said America had faced a“50-year assault”by thosetrying to alienate people of faith.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — NASCARhasracedon thebeach at Daytona,underthe lights and even around a pesky pot-hole.

But never on a Monday — until now.

The Daytona 500 was postponed Sun-dayfor thefirsttime in its54-year historyafter heavy rain saturated Daytona Inter-national Speedway.

NASCARofficialsspentmorethan fourhours waiting for a window to dry thefamed track,but it never came. When thelatest storm cell passed over the speedway around 5 p.m., they had little choicebut to call it a day.

The 500-mile race was rescheduled fornoon Monday. It will be aired on Fox.

“This is one of the toughest things forus drivers,” pole-sitter CarlEdwardssaid.“It’s now who can really stay focused. That’s not just the drivers, that’s the pitcrews, the crew chiefs, everyone, the offi-cials. But I think we’ll be just fine.”

But Monday might be another test forboth drivers and fans.

INDIANAPOLIS — The LSU-Alabama rivalry didn’t end inNew Orleans. It moved to Indi-anapolis.

After playing twice for the No.

1 ranking last season, repeatedlybeing dubbed college football’stwobest defenses andeventuallysettling the national champion-ship between them, the top de-fensive players from those teamsare ready to start Round 3 — atthe NFL scouting combine.

“Rightnow,it’sjust mental,but when wegetback onthe field,it’sgoing to be just like the way it was,” Alabama cornerback DreKirkpartick said Sunday with asmile.

Scouts couldn’t askfor a betterscenario.

Players from both teams areout to impress team executives,hoping to improve their draftstock.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. The winners will be rewarded with a bigger paycheck and per-haps somebig-time endorsementdeals, too.

Bragging rightsare alsoin play.Kirkpatrick and LSU’s Morris

Claiborne aregoing head-to-headto become the No. 1 cornerbackchosen in April. Alabama safetyMark Barron and outside line-backer Courtney Upshaw aregenerally regarded as the No. 1players at their positions, as isLSU defensive tackle MichaelBrockers. And high schoolrecruits undoubtedly will pay at-tentionto whichschool producesmore NFL players and the high-est draft picks, maybe giving thecurrent prospect’s alma maters a

recruiting bump. That’s not all.Sixof the59 defensivebacksin-

vited to Indy came from thesetwo SEC programs, and thatdoesn’t include LSU Heisman Trophy finalist Tryann Mathieu,a sophomore.

For the Tigers, it’s a chance toreaffirm their self-proclaimedreputation as DB University.

“Patrick(Peterson) gaveus thename, and we just kept it going,”Claiborne said, laughing afterone of his teammates ruined thesecret.

But it’s not all going to be jabsand trash-talking around LucasOil Stadium.

TWINS

Zumaya out for the seasonFORT MYERS, Fla. — Joel Zumaya

has a torn ulnar collateral ligament inhis right elbow and will miss the sea-son.

An MRI taken Sunday revealed theinjury.

It’s the latest crushing injury for thehard-throwing reliever, who was trying to revive his career with the Minnesota Twins. Zumaya signed an incentive-laden, one-year deal with the Twins, who hoped he could bolster their bull-pen.

He had not thrown a pitch since June2010 after breaking his elbow whilepitching in a game at Target Field.

Zumaya lasted just13 pitches in hisfirst session of live batting practiceSaturday before walking off the mound with pain in his elbow.

General manager Terry Ryan says hehas not spoken with the 27-year-oldZumaya about his future yet.

METS

Tejada finally in campPORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — New York

Mets shortstop Ruben Tejada has re-ported to spring training camp on time.Still, it was later than manager TerryCollins had anticipated.

Collins says he had expected Tejadato be among the early arrivals so the

Mets could get a head start with theirnew double-play combination. Tejadatakes over for Jose Reyes, who took afree agent deal with the Marlins, andDaniel Murphy is set to start at second.

The 22-year-old Tejada said Sundaythat he was delayed because of a visaproblem in Panama. He says he toldCollins during an early-morning meet-ing that he’d been working with a train-er back home.

Collins says he reiterated to Tejadathe importance of being in camp early,and the impact that would have madeon his teammates.

Tejada batted .284 in 96 games last year with 36 RBIs.

RANGERS

Hamilton wants to staySURPRISE, Ariz. — Texas outfielder

Josh Hamilton says that even if he doesbecome a free agent, he wants to re-main with the Rangers.

On Friday, the former AL MVP saidhe didn’t feel that he owed the Rang-ers. Hamilton clarified those remarksSunday and said his loyalty is with theRangers.

Hamilton’s contract is finished afterthis season. His agent and Rangersrecently put off talks on a new dealafter Hamilton had a relapse with alco-hol. Hamilton has been troubled bydrugs and alcohol throughout his pro-fessional career.

Hamilton has helped the Rangers win the AL pennant in each of the lasttwo seasons.

INDIANS

Perez out 4 to 6 weeksGOODYEAR, Ariz. — Cleveland

Indians closer Chris Perez is out atleast one month and possibly six weeks with a strained muscle in his side.

Perez strained his left oblique during his first bullpen session of spring train-ing. Trainer Lonnie Soloff said Perez will need four to six weeks to recoverfrom the injury. Perez will not be ableto pitch in games until the end of theexhibition season. Soloff has not ruledout Perez from being available foropening day because he’s a reliever anddoes not have to build up as muchstamina as a starter.

Perez had 36 saves and a 3.32 ERA in64 games last season.

Turning two

Milwaukee Brewers infielder RickieWeeks throws during a spring trainingbaseball workout Sunday in Phoenix.

Eversince he becamethe WashingtonNationals’ very first draft pick, RyanZimmerman wanted to stay with theclub for the long haul.

Now he’ll get that wish. TheNationalstookwhat they hopeis

another step toward consistent conten-tion by locking up their third baseman— and the guy manystill call theface of the franchise — through 2019, adding six years to Zimmerman’s existing con-tract in a deal announced Sunday.

The deal includes a full no-tradeclause.

The extra six seasons are worth $100million,a personfamiliarwiththe nego-tiations told The Associated Press. The

person spoke on con-dition of anonymitybecause no financialterms were revealedpublicly.

“It’s nice that it’sdone,” Zimmermansaid at a news confer-ence at the club’s

spring training stadium in Viera, Fla.“It’s where I want to be. It’s where I’vealways wanted to be.”

He already was signed for 2012 and2013,with$26 millionremainingon thefive-year, $45 million contract he got atthe start of the 2009 season. He’s nowguaranteed $126 million over the nexteight seasons,and there isa cluboptionfor 2020.

“I love pressure. I don’t think peopleget these kinds of contracts that don’t want to be in pressure situations. Eversince I’ve been here, I’ve wanted to bethe guy that’s up last in the ninth in-ning,”Zimmermansaid. “I’ve wantedtobe the guy that everyone looks to. I’ve

wanted to be the so-called leader. I rel-ish being that guy. I love it. I wouldn’thave it any other way.”

Hegrewup notfrom thenation’scap-ital in Virginia Beach, Va., and his par-ents still live there.

The two sides talked late into thenight Saturday, making enough pro-gress forthe 27-year-oldZimmermantoextend a self-imposed deadline that co-incided with that day’s start of officialfull-squadworkouts. He wantedto getadeal completed now or postpone talksuntil after theseason sohis contractsit-uation wouldn’t be a distraction in theclubhouse for the Nationals, who arehoping to finally be competitive in theNL East.

Washington finished third in thedivi-sion in 2011, the franchise’s best show-ing since moving from Montreal.

Zimmerman wasthe team’s first draftpickaftertheExposbecame theNation-alsbeforethe2005season— hewastak-en No. 4 overall that year after playing college baseball at Virginia — and he

quickly emerged as Washington’s bestplayer.He’s been an NLAll-Star,andalso col-

lected Gold Glove and Silver Sluggerawards.

Last season, Zimmerman waslimitedby injuries to 395 at-bats over 101games. He hit .289 with 12 homers, 21doubles and 49 RBIs.

For hiscareer,Zimmermanhas a .288batting average, 128 homers, 214 dou-bles, 498 RBIs, a .355 on-base percent-age and .479 slugging percentage, andhe’s consideredone of thetop defensivethird basemen in the majors.

He’s also emerged as one of the lead-ers of the team in the clubhouse.

“In my opinion, it’s just another indi-cation theorganization ismovingin theright direction,” shortstop Ian Des-mond said. “To lock up a guy and showloyaltyto your franchiseplayer...and tosee ‘Zim’ be happy at home, and not tohave to worry about that any more, it’sgoing to be nice. I’m happy for him. Wedefinitely need him.”

JUPITER, Fla. — St. Louis Cardinalsgeneral manager John Mozeliak wouldlike to see Tyler Greene take over forSkip Schumaker as the team’s regularsecond baseman. First-year managerMike Matheny isn’t ready to commit tothe switch.

“I’m trying not to have any precon-ceived ideas what that is going to look

like over there,” Matheny said. “Who’sgoing to be in that particular spot? We just don’t know yet. I’m going to standbehindthat andtry to fight anyprejudiceor any favor in any one direction at thispoint.”

A first-round selection out of Georgia Techin 2005, Greenehas yetto earncon-sistent playingtimein themajorleagues.A shortstop most of his career, he hasbeen asked to try third base and the out-field over the past couple of springs.

“It’s really about taking someone whoisreallytalented — hasa uniqueskill setin the sense of speed and power — andgiving him an opportunity at a starting job,” Mozeliak said. “It is something that we are trying to do with the understand-ing that he still has to earn it.”

Second base is the only starting posi-tion up for grabs in Cardinals camp asthe team prepares to defend its 2011 World Series championship.

A career .270 hitter in the minors,Greene smacked 85 home runs and stole144 basesin a littlemorethan 600games.

Those numbers have yetto translateintomajor league success.

He’s never hit more than .222 in any of his three big league seasons, maxing outat 122 plate appearances in a year.

Greene actually got a start on the tran-sition last season when 25 of his 58 ap-pearances came at second base, includ-ing 14 starts. The organization’s decisionto give him the opportunity to win the job has allowed Greene to focus on themost difficult aspect of the change —

turning the double play.“That’s where the footwork and the

body turns and everything are kind of flip-flopped from theotherside,”he said.“It’s the complete opposite from the oth-er side. I’ve really been working on thatevery day, just to get that much morecomfortable.”

Schumaker understands what it’s liketo try to learn second base at the majorleague level. Three years ago, his transi-tionfromthe outfield to secondbase wasformer manager Tony La Russa’s grandspring experiment.

A career .290 hitter, Schumaker hascommitted 32 errors in 351games at sec-ond base since the move.

“I think they are going to give Tylerevery opportunityto winthe joband if heends up putting everything together, it’sexciting for our team,” said Schumaker, who avoided arbitration by signing atwo-year contract with the Cardinals inDecember thatwillpay hima base salaryof more than a million dollars less perseason than he made in 2011.

Hazleton Area put together arun of four straight District 2Class 3A titles from 2007-10.

Mark Uliano and Pat LaBuz were each four-time districtchamps, while Jared Kay placedthird in the state as the trio com-bined for nearly 400 wins.

On Saturday, Larry Roman-chik showed his abilities becom-ingthe latestCougarto have suc-cess at the district tournament winninghis district title at113asa freshman. The Cougar has 23 wins thisseason andjoinsUlianoand LaBuz as the only freshmenin school history to win districtgold.

His teammate, Chad Hoffman, was teammates for two seasons with Uliano, LaBuz and Kay.

The senior, who claimed his

first district gold medal on Sat-urday night and is a returning seventh-place state medalist,says Romanchik’s ceiling couldbe higher than the prominenttrio.

“I think Romanchik will beabove the top,” Hoffman saidabout his teammate. “I’m pre-dicting a state championship bythe time he’s a junior. He’s justthat good technical and he’s onlygoing to get stronger.”

Romanchik, who trailed Crest- wood’s Bob Gray early on in thematch before picking up the 7-5 victory, admitted to being nerv-ous during his finals bout on hishome gym, which led to a fewcautions.

“Iguessanxiety kind ofgotmeon the cautions,” he said. “Mycoach told me to close my eyesand that helped a lot; (he said)

just listen for the whistle, don’tlookfor it. SoI closed my eyesatone point.”

Romanchik may end up being part of another lengthy, success-ful run for the Cougars in the years to come as the team has atop-notch junior high program with many up-and-comers. Theprogram’s junior high coach JimHoffman was also named juniorhigh coach of the year.

ELITE MATCHUP

Therewere numerous exciting matches during the finals of theDistrict 2 Class 3A Champion-ships Saturday night.

Perhaps none was more excit-ing than the 126-pound bout be-tween Wyoming Valley West’sKyle Krasavage and DelawareValley’s C.J. Palmer.

Both are currently ranked in

thetop sevenin thestatein manypublications and they lived up tothe billing. The crowd was intoevery point as dueling chants of “Let’s goKyle” and“Let’s goC.J.”kept getting louder and louder.

In the end, Palmer picked up atwo-point decision, but Krasav-age wasn’t disappointed.

“I don’t think he was devastat-edat all. Hegave himallhecouldhandle,” Spartans coach SteveBarber said. “They’re both goodkids – one’s ranked third one’sranked seventh – and they wentat it. I think he kept his head upand took it pretty well.”

Krasavage is known for wres-tling top competition.

He also wrestled top prep wrestler Dom Malone from Wyoming Seminary. Malone, who defeated the Spartan earlierthis season, won a National Prep

Championship on Saturday.InJanuaryat theWVCTourna-

ment, theWVW juniorhe defeat-ed Meyers’ Vito Pasone, one of the top Class 2A wrestlers in thestate.

As a team, Valley West sky-rocketed in the team standingsduring thetournament after end-ing Friday’s competition in 10thplace, the Spartans jumped allthe way to second after Satur-day’s showings and will be repre-sentedat theNortheastRegional with six qualifiers. Pittston Areaisthe only other WVC teamwithsix regional qualifiers.

ROCKETING COMETS

Crestwood showed f lashes of brilliance this season as a teamknocking off WVC Division I co-champion Coughlin in a dual forits only divisional loss.

But the Comets put up just a3-3 record in the division andmissed out on the District 2Class 3A Duals Championshipsearlier this month.

They always seemsto step upat theindividual tournamentandshowed they are still a force when it comes to those eventstaking fourth in the team stand-ings on Saturday with six med-alists, including five regionalqualifiers, four finalists and twochampions.

Claiborne measured in at 5-foot-11, 183 pounds, slightlyshorter and heavier than his list-ed measurements of 6-feet and173 pounds. He says he’s more of a technician than a physical cor-nerback.

North Alabama cornerback Ja-norisJenkins and Oregon corner-back Cliff Harris both had drug-related arrests in college. Both were kicked off their respectiveteams. Jenkins left Florida andlanded in Division II. Harris de-cidedto saygoodbyetoschoolforgood.

Montana’s Trumaine Johnson,Louisiana-Lafayette’s DwightBentley and Coastal Carolina’sJosh Norman want to show theycan successfully make the jumpto better competition.

“It’s sad to see they don’t callthe high stick on Mo at the endand they score on the powerplay,” saidPenguinsdefensemanAlexandre Picard, who scoredthegame-tyinggoal earlier in thethird period.

“I thought those referees to-night, I don’t know whothey areor what experience they have inthe American Hockey League,but both of them didn’t havetheir A game tonight.”

Thelossdropsthe Penguinsto32-18-2-5and theyfall fourpointsbehind the Admirals for firstplace in the East Division. Thegame was the final home match-up against Norfolk for the Pen-guins, and the Admirals havenow won all five atthe MoheganSun Arena.

That didn’t matter much tohead coach John Hynes, whosaidtherewas no significance toNorfolk sweeping the season se-ries in the Penguins arena.

Whatdoes matter, Hynessaid,is the Penguins need to find a way to beat the Admirals consis-tently, especially if they are to

two more games to play in Nor-folk.

“There’s a challengein frontof us that we have to find a way tobeable tobeat thisteam,” Hynessaid. “A challenge to find a wayto beat them regularly, whetherit’s at home or on the road.”

After a scoreless first period,penalties allowed both teams toget on the board in the second. The Penguins capitalized first with a Ben Street wrist shot tothe farsidefora power play goaland a 1-0 lead.

In the last five minutes of theperiod the Admirals evenedthings up when Mark Barberiobeat rookie goaltender PatrickKilleen, whowas makinghis firstAHL start, with a shot from thelow slot during a power play tomake it 1-1.

Norfolk took the lead in thethird period when former Pen-guin J-PCoteblasted a shot fromthe top of the slot to make it 2-1,followed by Picard’s slapshotgoal to erase the Admiral’s leadand tie things up, 2-2.

Withless thanfour minutestoplay andAlexGrantin thepenal-ty box, thePenguinswenton thekill for the seventh time in thegame. Seconds into the powerplay, Mormina hit the ice in the

ton placed a shot behind Kil-leen’s back for the win.

Street said the fact that a call wasn’t made when Mormina went down didn’t hurt the Pen-guins as much as the penaltiesthey took throughout the game.Norfolkwas 2-for-7on thepowerplay while the Penguins were 1-for-6

“It was toughto get a flow,”hesaid.“It seemedlikewhen things weregoing good therewasa pen-alty, and it screwed things up onthe bench too.”

With 19 games left in the sea-sonand Norfolkleading thedivi-sion andthe EasternConferenceby four points, the Penguinsknow they need to make upgroundquickly. Norfolkhas now won their last nine while thePenguins have dropped two in arow.

“It’s definitely going to be adogfight between us, them andHershey, and that’s why thisstings even more,” Street said.“One good weekend or one bad weekend and everything’sflipped upside down again. This wasn’t a two-pointgame,it wasafour-point game and we need tomake sure when the points arethere we take them.”

to-day, as is Bryan Lerg, whodidn’t play on Sunday.

• Before Sunday’s game, thePenguins signed ECHL goalten-der Brad Fogal to a PTO. WithBrad Thiessen in Pittsburgh andScott Munroe battling an injury,Fogal was brought in to backupPatrickKilleen.Fogalposteda 4-4-0 record for the Cincinnati Cy-clones with a 2.78 goals againstaverage and a .901 save percent-age this season.

lotof considerationsthatgo intothe start time decision, and webelieve scheduling it for noongives us thebest opportunityforusto gettheracein tomorrow.”

Eight previous Daytona 500shave endured rain delays, thelat-estin 2009. Butneverbefore hadstorms forced NASCAR’s pre-mier eventto bemoved.

“I think that’sa prettygood re-cord for NASCAR,” Edwardssaid. “They’ve been living righttohave53oftheseandneverhaveone postponed. That’s pretty

spectacular. ... I think NASCAR,they’re doingthe rightthing, youknow, not dragging thisout.”

Noontime showers sent fansscattering for cover and leaving everyone in wait-and-see mode.Puddlesof waterformedin partsof the infield, and many fans gotdrenched as they tried to makethebestof a less-than-idealsitua-tion.

Drivers retreated to their mo-torhomes, relaxing while keep-ing an eye on developments. Ed- wards, Brad Keselowski and oth-ers took naps. Former Daytona500 winners Jamie McMurrayand Trevor Bayne did in-studiointerviews with Fox. Anotherprevious racewinner,Ryan New-man,playedwith hisdaughterinthemotorhomelot.

“IguessI’m gonna have to winthe first Monday Daytona 500,”

driver Greg Biffle said. “As youcantell,I’mstillinmyuniformbe-cause I was optimistic that this

weather was gonna get out of hereandweweregoingtogetthisthing going. But I’ll have to savemy energy for tomorrow.

“Iknowalotofracefansaredis-appointed and a lot of people athome on TV, but we just hopetheytune in tomorrow.”

The last shortened Daytona500 was Matt Kenseth’s victorythree years ago, when rain stop-pedtheevent48lapsfromthefin-ish. He was declared the winner whilethe carswere parked onpitroad.

The 2010 race had more thantwo hours in delays as NASCARtwice stopped the event to fix apothole in the surface. JamieMcMurray held off Dale Earn-hardtJr.to winthatrace.

This time around, driversdidn’tevenget intheircars.

“I didn’t know when to eat. I

didn’tknowwhen torest.I didn’tknow what to do,” Bobby La-bonte said. “I never took my uni-form off. I took a nap. I think wecleaned out the refrigeratorsnacking on things.”

Now, NASCARmust dealwiththe downside of moving its big-gest race. Ratings and attend-ance will suffer, falling short of whatthe seriesexpected.

Fans surely will have com-plaints,too.

Daytona president Joie Chit- wood said he understood fans were frustrated about the sched-uling change that pushed therace back one week later thanusual. NASCAR and the trackmade the decision to move thestart of the season to address an

awkward early off weekend andto avoid potential conflicts withtheSuperBowl.

MARANA, Ariz. — Even asHunter Mahan motored his waythrough the Match Play Cham-pionship by beating one toughopponent after another, he hadreason to feel he was just along for the ride in the final matchSunday afternoon.

All the chatter was about U.S.Open champion Rory McIlroyand his march to No. 1 in the world.

All the chants Mahan heard ashe walked down the first twoholes at Dove Mountain were forMcIlroy.

With a little extra motivationhe didn’t need, Mahan wonthreestraightholeson thefrontninetoseize controland answered McIl-roy’s charge with birdies of hisown for a 2-and-1 victory.

“Deep down, you wanted topostpone that crowning of theNo. 1 player in the world for Ro-ry,”Mahansaid. “He’llget there. Imean, he’s phenomenal. He’s re-ally talented. He’ll be No.1 even-tually. But yeah, when you’re aplayer, and I listen to JohnnyMiller and Nick Faldo and allthose guys, they had him pickedto win. And that’s what everybo-dy was talking about.

“There was absolute motiva-tion in that.”

Itprovedto betoolongof a day

for McIlroy, the 22-year-old fromNorthern Ireland, who put somuch energy into a high-stakessemifinal match against Lee Westwood earlier Sunday. If ei-ther of them won the tourna-ment, they would go to No. 1 inthe world.

McIlroy, explosive as ever, ranoff seven birdies in a 10-holestretch to overcome an early def-icit and beat Westwood. Helooked flat in the championshipmatch, made a seriesof mistakesto lose back-to-back holes, andfell too far behind to catch Ma-han.

“To me, itwaslike myfinal ina way,” McIlroy saidof hiswinover Westwood. “That was the one I wanted all week and I got. Andthat’s what I got myself up for.

Yeah, maybe mentally and emo-tionally it did take a little bit outof me. But it still doesn’t takeaway from the fact that Hunterplayed very, very solid golf.”

O N T H E W E B

Dear Abby: I’m alongtime reader witha question I havenever seen in yourcolumn: Why don’tthey put something in pet food to keepdogs and cats from

getting pregnant? Then people couldcontrol the pet population.

— Harrisonburg, Va., Reader

Dear Reader: Your idea is intriguing.However, the reason that contracep-tive pet food doesn’t exist may havesomething to do with the cost. Also,the effective dose might vary accord-ing to the size and weight of the ani-mals. If a Great Dane wasn’t feeling particularly hungry one day, it could wind up a “little” bit pregnant.

Seriously, I took your question toDr. John Winters, a respected veteri-narian in Beverly Hills, Calif., whotold me there are research trials go-ing on involving oral contraceptivesto control the wild animal population,such as coyotes. If one day it is madeavailable for domestic pets, it wouldhave to be by prescription only.

Dear Abby: My husband, “Les,” en- joys cooking and inviting friends to join us for dinner. I respect people’slikes and dislikes when it comesto certain foods, but Les does not. We have discussed it on many occa-

sions and he feels people should be“open-minded, not picky or finicky.” We are having two guests over fordinner soon. One does not like on-ions and the other doesn’t care formushrooms. I reminded Les of this,but he’s determined to prepare hisspaghetti sauce with lots of onionsand mushrooms. As the hostess, I’membarrassed. Am I wrong?

— Just the Sous-Chef, Des Moines, Iowa

Dear Just The Sous-Chef: That your husband would serve guestssomething he knows they dislikeshows him to be self-centered and un- willing to extend true hospitality.

Don’t be surprised if your guestseat very little of Les’ spaghetti, andprepare for it in advance by having

a salad and garlic bread on hand sothey won’t go away hungry. Yourproblem may resolve itself, because aperson would have to be a glutton forpunishment to accept a second din-ner invitation at your home.

Dear Abby: I have been married 35 years. The children are grown and ontheir own now. I am healthy, but findI have absolutely no interest in my spouse — sexual or otherwise. Hab-its of his that I overlooked in earlier years really turn me off now.

I have chosen to stay in this mar-riage so my children and grandchil-dren won’t have to split time visiting.After so many years, staying is justeasier. Has anyone ever written to you with a similar situation?

— Unfulfilled in the Midwest

Dear Unfulfilled: Yes, usually afterthe crisis that happened because the woman’s husband felt abandoned andlooked elsewhere for the caring andaffection he wasn’t receiving at home.

The relationship you have de-scribed isn’t a marriage; it’s an “ar-rangement.” If this is what you and your husband are willing to settle forin order to spare your children andgrandchildren the inconvenience of visiting you separately, then you bothhave my sympathy.

DEAR ABBY A D V I C E

Controlling the pet population should not be such a difficult task

To receive a collection of Abby’s mostmemorable — and most frequently re-quested — poems and essays, send a busi-ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, pluscheck or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 inCanada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O.Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447.(Postage is included.)

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Usually,in order to let something grow,you have to let it go. This is verytrue of a relationship now. Doingeverything together and stayingmired in the minutiae have a sti-fling effect. Give it some space.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Quiteaware that your social image isan important predictor of yoursuccess in life, you’ll endeavor tospiff things up a bit now. You’llmake changes to your style.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A popularsong by the artist Gotye, a fellowGemini, suggests that one could“get addicted to a certain kind of

sadness.” Whatever your weak-ness is in the sadness depart-ment, you’ll buck the habit today.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Whatyou can’t do forcefully, you cando with creativity. It’s your besttool now, but it only can comeabout when you’re relaxed.Loosen up.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Beingstressed out is always an option,but you don’t have to let this daywind you up. Most problems thatcome up will solve themselves inone way or another. Think aboutthat before you get involved.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).Sometimes you’re afraid topause and take stock of a situ-ation because you don’t wantothers to think you’re not beingproductive. Avoid staying busy

for the sake of it. Stopping to getperspective is only smart.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are

once again put in a position topersuade others, and you’re theperfect person for the job. You’llrelate easily to others and createa steady rapport.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Whatmatters is a subjective choice. Aloved one will be concerned withsomething that doesn’t meanmuch to you, and yet, out of loveand emotional maturity, you areable to be empathic.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).There’s an old Southern sayingthat a frog doesn’t know howfar it can jump until it’s kicked.Super-intense circumstancesalways bring out the best in you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).You are halfway between twodifferent ideas, and you’reunlikely to find favor with either

side. People will try to get yourapproval. They’ll want you to jointheir cause. If anyone can walkthe line, it’s you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Youapproach life with a style andhumor all your own. Your joyand spontaneous expression willdraw in a kindred spirit. This per-son is not very much like you buthas a complementary energy.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A newpassion is building inside you. Atfirst, you don’t even realize whatyou really want. But the yearninggets stronger, and you can nolonger ignore its message.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 27).You feel free to play and explorethis year. Accidental creationsand inventions will be featuredin the first half of your year.

There’s an ease that comesfrom being organized and usingyour resources well. May bringsreunions. Social success leads tofinancial success in August. Yourlove signs are Aries and Gemini.Your lucky numbers are: 50, 41,22, 39 and 19.
