routedNewt Gingrichinthe Flor-
ida primary Tuesday night, re-
bounding smartly froman earlier
defeat and tak-
ing a major step
toward the Re-

the one-sided

pares us” for the fall.
“Mr. President, you were elect-
ed to lead, you chose to follow,
and nowit’s time to get out of the
way,” he declared.

Florida’s precincts showed Rom-
ney with 46 percent of the vote to

MUNICIPAL BRIEFS
KINGSTON – The Luzerne
County Transportation Author-
ity on Monday made a slew of
personnel changes as the au-
thority continues to assimilate
the Luzerne/Wyoming Coun-
ties Transportation Depart-
ment.
And some non-union employ-
ees who worked for the depart-
ment before the Jan. 3 consoli-
dation are seeing substantial sal-
ary increases after going several
years without any raises in pay.
Jim Darr, who was director of
the transportation department,
was named assistant executive
director/Shared Ride Division
for the authority. Darr’s salary
shot up 14 percent – from
$50,000 to $57,000.
Lou Uritz, who was making
$19,096as a scheduler for the de-
partment’s shared ride program,
was hired as the authority’s new
procurement manager. His new
salary is $42,000. The scheduler
position was eliminated.
Colleen O’Brien, who will
continue in her position as man-
ager of client services in the con-
solidation, will receive an 18.9-
percent pay increase, from
$36,010 to $42,800.
Authority Executive Director
Stan Strelish said the raises in-
clude adjustments to compen-
sate the former transportation
department employees for hav-
ing to contribute more toward
their health insurance.
Department employees paid
only 10 percent toward those
premiums, but, as transporta-
tion authority employees, they
will have to pay 15 percent, as
per an agreement with the coun-
ty and the Pennsylvania Depart-
ment of Transportation, which
encouraged and is overseeing
the consolidation, Strelish said.
The authority board also cre-
ated two new positions.
The board hired Renee Craig,
formerly assistant director of
Hazleton Public Transit, as hu-
man resources director at a sala-
ry of $50,000. Strelish said he
and other authority employees
had been performing the duties
that Craig will assume, but the
creation of the position was nec-
essary when authority staffing
doubled from 80 to 160 employ-
ees with the consolidation.
And the board hired Joe Ro-
selle as information technology
director. Strelish said Roselle
had worked as a private contrac-
tor for the authority for 20 years
and the consolidation created
the need for a full-time staffer.
His salary was not immediately
available.
The board also authorized the
buyback of up to 60 sick days, a
week of vacation days and two
personal days fromformer trans-
portation department employ-
ees. Strelish said the county had
no limit on the buy-back of un-
used sick days and vacation days
and will have to cover the buy-
back costs for any days in excess
of the authority’s caps.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti
— Actor Sean Penn has been
named ambassador at large
for Haiti in recognition of his
humanitarian work since the
2010 earthquake.
The Hollywood star re-
ceived the honor from Haitian
President Michel Martelly at
a special ceremony Tuesday
evening at the National Pal-
ace.
Martelly thanked Penn for
keeping the spotlight on the
Caribbean nation.
The president joked that
the “only downside” to Penn’s
new position is that he can no
longer call the actor by his
first name.
Now Penn will be called
“Ambassador.”
Penn’s J/P Haitian Relief
Organization was set up a few
months after the Jan. 12,
2010, earthquake to oversee a
settlement camp where thou-
sands of people displaced by
the disaster lived.

PITTSBURGH — The De-
partment of Justice has charged
a former Penn State University
professor with fraud, false state-
ments and money laundering re-
lating to $3 million in federal re-
search grants.
The Justice Department said
in a release Tuesday that Craig
Grimes, 55, of Raleigh, N.C. al-
legedly defrauded the National
Institutes of Health between
2006 and 2011, while he was a
professor of Material Science
and Engineering at Penn State.
Grimes allegedly used a com-
pany he owned in State College
to request a $1.2 million grant
from the National Institutes of
Health, but never delivered on a
promise to send $510,000 of that
to Penn State’s Hershey Medical
Center. The Justice Department
said that the clinical studies and
trials called for in the grant were
never done.
Grimes also allegedly made
false statements on a $1.9 mil-
lionDepartment of Energygrant
application, claiming there was
no other funding when he had
received a grant from the Na-
tional Science Foundation.
If convicted, Grimes faces up
to 35 years in prison and a fine of
$750,000.
A message left at a number
listed for Grimes was not imme-
diately returned.
A spokeswoman for Penn
State did not immediately re-
spond to messages seeking com-
ment.

Cabot raps EPA decision
Natural gas driller Cabot Oil & Gas
on Tuesday responded to the Envi-
ronmental Protection Agency’s deci-
sion to test well water in Dimock for
contamination from gas drilling.
In its response, Cabot
questions the EPA’s sam-
pling methodology and
alleges the agency dis-
regarded more recent
data that better demon-
strates the current condi-
tions of water wells in
the area in favor of data
from several years ago.
The drilling company also suggested
the EPA took some data points in the
evaluation of previous water samples
that led the agency to reinstate water
deliveries to four Dimock residents,
suggesting the EPA selectively chose
data on substances it was concerned
about in order to reach a result it had
predetermined.

end-of-February deadline ap-
proaching, Casey said the time
to finalize an extension of the
payroll tax cut “is now.”
Casey, D-Scranton, held a
teleconferenceTuesdayinantic-
ipationof thesecondmeetingof
the Payroll Tax Cut Conference
Committee.
Casey, chairman of the Joint
Economic Committee, released
a new report that details how
much money would stay in the
pockets of
one- and two-
earner fam-
iliesat acoun-
ty-level based
on median
wage and sal-
ary income
per worker.
He said the tax cut affects 160
million Americans.
The committee released
county-by-county data on the
impact of the payroll tax cut ex-
tension, which costs the federal
government about $10 billion
per month. Casey said the cuts
lowered the rate at which em-
ployees’ Social Security earn-
ings are taxed from 6.2 percent
to 4.2 percent.
In Luzerne County, the aver-
age salary was listed at $26,555
andtheaveragetaxcutwouldbe
$443 for one worker and $885
for two.
Casey said many economists
have observed that failing to ex-
tend the payroll tax cut would
sloweconomic growththis year
and cost the economy jobs.
“Thereremainsagreat deal of
work to be done,” Casey said.
“But this wouldmeanhundreds
of dollars for families who are
struggling.”
Casey said Democrats and
Republicanshavenot yet agreed
on specifics – not even at the
committee level.
Casey said he has been as-
sured that the payroll tax cuts
will not adversely affect the So-
cial Security trust fund.
“The evidence is more than
compellingthat thiswill haveno
adverse effect on Social Securi-
ty,” he said.
With the deadline approach-
ing, Casey saidthere has always
beena sense of urgencytoreach
an agreement.
“At least on the Democratic
side of the aisle,” he said, “there
has been no resistance to the
idea that the payroll tax cut is
needed.”

Registerednurses at Geisinger Wyom-
ing Valley and South Wilkes-Barre voted
overwhelmingly Monday to ratify a
three-year contract that gives them rais-
es totaling 8 percent over the life of the
agreement.
The pact also provides them more in-
put in staff/patient ratios, the union rep-
resenting the nurses announced.
The agreement was reached less than
a month after negotiations began, draw-
ing praise from hospital and union offi-
cials whocommendedeachother for the
willingness to
compromise.
“We had a good
give and take dur-
ing the negotia-
tions. We had a
contract that was
fair to both sides,
andwhenthat hap-
pens, you come to
an agreement,”
said Dave Jolley,
vice president of
public relations for
Geisinger.
The contract,
which impacts
about 340 nurses
who are members
of the Service Em-
ployees Interna-
tional Union, pro-
vides for raises of 3 percent the first year
and2.5percent eachof thefollowingtwo
years, said Frank Kratz, a registered
nurse who helped negotiate the con-
tract.
More important, Kratz said, the con-
tract gives nurses more say in determin-
ing appropriate staff/patient ratios.
It also, for the first time, includes lan-
guagethat defines thecircumstances un-
der which nurses can be mandated to
work overtime.
“A consensus was reached between
management and nurses in deciding
what is the best staffing ratio and to de-
velop measures to make sure they are
not exceeded,” Kratzsaid. “That was our
biggest focus. … They were open to ex-
amining it.”
Kratz said the hospital would not
agree to a set number of staff/patient
per unit, but didagree to set up a council
consisting of five nurses and five man-
agement officials that will review staff-
ing needs to determine appropriate lev-
els.
“The important thing is that surges
that were so outrageous that nurses
couldn’t keep up with patients’ safely

WILKES-BARRE – Rela-
tives and friends of murder
victim Patricia Moreton
gathered Tuesday in so-
lemn remembrance of the
woman whose homicide,
now 6 years old, remains
unsolved.
About 30 of them, clutch-
ing candles and photos of
Moreton, prayed, reminis-
ced and exchanged tearful
hugs on the south lawn of
the Luzerne County Cour-
thouse.
“She was just a great per-
son,” said Florence McDo-
nald, Moreton’s lifelong
friend. “…She didn’t de-
serve what she got. No
way. She didn’t do nothing
to deserve this.”
Moreton, then 35, was
found dead from a single
gunshot wound inside her
residence at 340 Hazle Ave.

at building in the 332 Sherman

should be a thing of the past with
this new contract,” Kratz said.
“We applaud Geisinger for taking
that bold measure.”
Jolleysaidpatient safetyhas al-
ways been the primary concern
of the hospital. Officials are
pleased they were able to resolve
that and other issues with the
union.
“The medical center has al-
ways been very detailed in ensur-
ing staffing is appropriate for the
number of patients and level of
care the patients need. We did
agree to a labor management
council to discuss staffing pat-
terns,” he said.
Kratz said the union also made
significant strides in getting the
hospital to establish more specif-
ic guidelines regarding when
management can mandate a
nurse to work overtime.
By law, a hospital can mandate
overtime under certain circum-
stances, such as an unexpected
emergency involving mass casu-
alties. But there was a disagree-
ment over the interpretation of
the law in other, less serious cir-
cumstances, Kratz said.
The new contract more clearly
defines those situations and sets
specific procedures management
must follow.
“You can’t mandate a nurse to
stay longer on their shift because
of improper planning or holes in
the schedule,” he said. “Manag-
ers will have a set of tasks they
have to performbefore they man-
date a nurse.”
Kratz did not have the exact
vote, but said the contract was
approved nearly unanimously.
He credited the union’s chief ne-
gotiator, Patti Ludwikowski, for
her efforts, as well as the hospi-
tal’s negotiators for their willing-
ness to address concerns of the
union.

on January 31, 2006. The acting
coroner ruled her death a hom-
icide, but no suspects were im-
mediately identified and no
charges have been filed to date.
“One of the things that really
bothers me the most is that this
person (More-
ton’s killer)
walks the
streets today,”
said Cathy Ste-
phens, one of
Moreton’s four
sisters. “It
doesn’t have to
be my sister;
my mother’s
daughter. It
could be one of
someone else’s
family mem-
bers next time. Six years is a
long time.”
Stephens added that she
hopes the vigil will inspire
someone with information
about the case to tell the police.
“Somebody out there knows
something, so we’re hoping
somebody says something,” she
said.
Eleanore Eddy, Cathy Ste-
phens’ mother-in-law and a long-
time friend of Moreton’s, said
her friends and relatives plan to
continue to hold an annual vigil
until Moreton’s killer is brought
to justice.
“Until we get some closure,
we’re just keeping on,” she said.
Tuesday’s vigil also provided a
chance for friends and relatives
to remember Moreton’s life and
feel closer to her.
“I think it’s a symbol, showing
that even though she’s gone,
she’s still with us, no matter
what,” said Moreton’s daughter,
18-year-old Brittany Evans. “It’s
one of those gone-but-not-forgot-
ten things, and there’s nothing
that can describe the bond be-
tween a mother and a daughter.”

LOS ANGELES — Paula Ab-
dul joinedthe exodus fromFox’s
disappointing “The X Factor,”
attributing her departure to
business trumping all else.
Abdul said Tuesday she won’t
return to “dear friend” Simon
Cowell’s singingcontest whenit
begins its second season later
this year. Her announcement
followed Monday’s exits of fel-
low judge Nicole Scherzinger
and host Steve Jones.
“I’ve learned through my
longevity in this industry that
business decisions often times
override personal considera-
tions,” Abdul saidina measured
statement. She and others in-
volved with the show under-
stand the situation, she said,
adding, “Simon is, and will re-
main a dear friend of mine and
I’ve treasured” working on “X
Factor.”
In a separate statement, Cow-
ell didn’t address the reason for
the changes but thanked the ex-
iting trio “for everything they
did last year.”
Cowell and
Antonio
“L.A.” Reid re-
mained on the
judging panel.
There was no
immediate
word from
producers on who might fill the
open seats.
Cowell returnedAbdul’s good
wishes and said he expected he
and his former “American Idol”
teammate would work on an-
other project in the near future.
Despite respectable ratings,
“X Factor” has failed to achieve
popularity similar to Fox’s
“American Idol,” which Cowell
left to import “X Factor” from
the U.K. to the U.S.
He had predicted his new
show would be a blockbuster.
Money is anissue: Aside from
its talent contracts, the show’s
first season was expensively
promoted and lavishly pro-
duced.
Whether Cowell, others pro-
ducers and the network will
open sufficiently deep pockets
when they go in search of stars
to replace Abdul and Nicole
Scherzinger is an open ques-
tion.

SANAA, YEMEN
U.S. strikes kill 4 militants
U
.S. airstrikes targeting leaders from
Yemen’s active al-Qaida branch
killed four suspected militants, in-
cluding a man suspected of involve-
ment in the 2000 bombing of the USS
Cole, officials said Tuesday.
Missiles struck a school and a car
late Monday in the southern Abyan
province, Yemeni security and military
officials said. Large swaths of the prov-
ince have fallen under the influence of
al-Qaida as the militants exploit a secu-
rity vacuum stemming from an up-
rising against President Ali Abdullah
Saleh that began last year.
Yemeni officials said one of the sus-
pected militants killed was involved in
the bombing of the USS Cole in Octo-
ber 2000, which killed 17 American
sailors and injured 39 others. They
identified him as Abdel-Monem al-
Fathani. The attack on the U.S. de-
stroyer was carried out while it was in
the Yemeni port of Aden for refueling.
WASHINGTON
Protesters must have notice
A federal judge said Tuesday that the
U.S. government must notify one of the
last major Occupy encampments if it
intends to clear a downtown park of
protesters.
The decision from U.S. District
Judge James Boasberg means the pro-
testers will have an opportunity to
challenge their eviction beforehand.
Protesters remained Tuesday at
McPherson Square, the city’s main
Occupy site, a day after the National
Park Service began enforcing a ban on
camping on federal park grounds.
TEHRAN, IRAN
Inspectors skip nuke sites
Visiting U.N. inspectors did not visit
any of the country’s nuclear sites, Iran’s
official news agency reported Tuesday,
concentrating instead on talks with
officials.
IRNA quoted an unnamed Iranian
official as saying the team of experts
from the International Atomic Energy
Agency conducted negotiations with
Iranians and did not visit the sites
where uranium is being enriched. He
said the talks were held in a “positive
and constructive atmosphere.”
Tension has been building over Iran’s
nuclear program. The U.S. and its allies
charge that Iran is using its uranium
enrichment facilities to produce mate-
rial for nuclear weapons.
Iran has declined to abandon its
enrichment labs, saying it seeks to
operate the reactors only for energy
and medical purposes, not for making
weapons.
NEW YORK
Komen cuts off organization
The nation’s leading breast-cancer
charity, Susan G. Komen for the Cure,
is halting its financial partnerships
with numerous Planned Parenthood
affiliates.
The result is a bitter rift, linked to
the national abortion debate, between
two iconic organizations that have
assisted millions of women.
Planned Parenthood says the cutoff,
affecting grants for breast exams, re-
sults from Komen bowing to pressure
from anti-abortion groups. Komen says
the key reason is that Planned Parent-
hood is under investigation in Con-
gress — a probe launched by a conser-
vative Republican who was urged to act
by anti-abortion activists.
The Komen grants, which totaled
about $680,000 last year and $580,000
in 2010, went to at least 19 Planned
Parenthood affiliates for breast-cancer
screening and related services.

Through further investigation, the

HARRISBURG — Former
Penn State assistant football
coach Jerry Sandusky will
learn by the end of the week
the names of the 10 young men
he is charged with having sex-
ually abused, according to a
court document filed late
Monday by state prosecutors.
The attorney general’s office
said that the alleged victims’
names will be delivered to
Sandusky’s lawyer Joe Amen-
dola by the close of business
Friday, a process that would
apparently avoid disclosure
through public court records.
Sandusky,
68, is awaiting
trial on charg-
es he commit-
ted a range of
abuse against
10 boys over a
15-year period,
including al-
leged sexual
assaults on
Penn State
property. He
has denied the
allegations.
The names
of the 10
young men
were not dis-
closed in the
grand jury re-
ports, which
listed them as
victims Nos. 1 through 10.
“The only statement I have
is, he knows who they are,”
said Jeffrey Fritz, a lawyer for
the young man called Victim 4
in the first grand jury report.

Attorney Slade McLaughlin,
who represents “Victim 1,”
said Amendola told him Tues-
day that he needs the names to
prepare Sandusky’s legal de-
fense and does not intend to
publicize them.
“I would think that most
media personnel would keep
the information private even if
it were made public by Amen-
dola, but there are always a
few bad eggs in every barrel,
so who knows,” McLaughlin
said.

months ago. In October, Moscow vetoed
the first Security Council attempt to con-
demn Syria’s crackdown and has shown
little sign of budging in its opposition.
Moscow’s stance is motivated in part
by its strategic and defense ties, includ-
ingweapons sales, withSyria. Russia also
rejects what it sees as a world order dom-
inated by the U.S.
The fallout fromthe conflict in Libya is
afactor, as well. Russiafears thenewmea-
BEIRUT — Syrian troops crushed
pockets of rebel soldiers Tuesday to take
back control of the easternsuburbs of Da-
mascus as Western diplomats took up a
U.N. draft resolution demanding Presi-
dent Bashar Assad halt the violence and
yield power.
The U.N. Security Council met Tues-
day to discuss the draft, backed by West-
ern and Arab diplomats. But Russia, one
of Assad’s strongest backers, has signaled
it would veto action against Damascus.
“The Western draft Security Council
resolution on Syria does not lead to a
search for compromise,” Russia’s Deputy
Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov wrote
Tuesday on Twitter. “Pushing this resolu-
tion is a path to civil war.”
Russia has stood by Assad as he tries to
crush an uprising that began nearly 11
sure could open the door to eventual mil-
itary intervention, the way an Arab-
backed U.N. resolution led to NATO air-
strikes in Libya.
The fact that rebels made it tothe door-
step of Damascus, the seat of Assad’s
power, was a dangerous development for
the regime. The military launched a swift
offensive Monday and on Tuesday
crushed the remaining resistance in Za-
malka and Arbeen.

MONTARA, Calif. — At
least one witness is shaking
her head in disbelief at a feder-
al park ranger’s use of a stun
gun over the weekend on a
Northern California man ac-
cused of walking his two small
dogs without a leash in viola-
tionof park rules.
The National Park Service
said the ranger hit Gary Hes-
terberg with the stun gun on
Sunday at Rancho Corral de
TierrainSanMateoCountyaf-
ter Hesterberg gave her a false
name and then tried to walk
away.
But Michelle Babcock told
the San Francisco Chronicle
the ranger never gave Hester-
berg an explanation as to why
he was being detained and
then hit himwith the stun gun
inthe back.
“He just triedto walk away,”
Babcock said. “She never gave
hima reason. ... It didn’t make
any sense.”
Hesterberg was arrested on
evidence of failing to obey a
lawful order, having dogs off-
leashandknowinglyproviding
falseinformation, accordingto
Howard Levitt, a spokesman
for the park service.
Levitt said the ranger, who
has not been identified, asked
Hesterberg to remain at the
scene, and he repeatedly tried
to leave. She was able to stop
him after deploying the stun
gun, Levitt said.
The ranger was trying to
educate residents about the
leashrequirement, he said.

Citing their responsibilities
within the Luzerne County Pub-
lic Defender’s Office, attorneys
for former Judge Mark Ciavarella
are seeking an additional 45 days
tofile a legal brief detailingthe is-
suestheywishtoraiseinCiavarel-
la’s appeal of his conviction on
corruptioncharges.
Al FloraJr., chief publicdefend-
er, andWilliamRuzzo, apart-time
assistant public defender, say
they need the additional time to
ensure they can fulfill their com-
mitments within the Public De-
fender’s Office as well as their du-
ty to effectively represent Ciava-
rella.
The motion, filed by Ruzzo,
notes that Ruzzo is involved in
several homicidecases, whileFlo-
ra, asheadof theoffice, isinvolved
in“unusuallytimeconsumingad-
ministrative budget and case
management matters.”
Flora, who is part-time, is
among numerous department
heads in the county who are try-
ing to adjust staffing and spend-
ing in their de-
partments
based on signif-
icant reduc-
tions in their
budgets
Flora and
Ruzzohavesaid
they are work-
ing on Ciavarella’s appeal in the
evenings and on weekends. Con-
tacted Tuesday, Flora said his
work with the Public Defender’s
Office is also stretching into the
evening hours as he attempts to
deal withthe budget challenges.
“I have a bunch of stuff here to-
night I have to go over. This past
weekend, all Ididfortwodayswas
work onthe budget,” Flora said.
Florahas beencourt-appointed
torepresent Ciavarella at a rate of
$125perhour, whichispaidbythe
federal government.
Ciavarella’s appeal is pending
before the Third Circuit Court of
Appeals, which directed the de-
fensetofileitsbrief byFeb. 8. The
U.S. Attorney’s Office has con-
curred with Flora and Ruzzo’s re-
quest for the 45-day extension.

SCRANTON – An attorney
representing Luzerne County in
the “kids for cash” lawsuits has
asked a federal judge to deny a
motion that seeks permission to
appeal the dismissal of the coun-
ty and former commissioner
Greg Skrepenak from one of the
suits.
Attorney Timothy Myers of
Blue Bell saidanappeal onbehalf
of four plaintiffs represented by
attorney Robert Keach will do
nothing to advance the case and
could impede resolution of a
$17.75 million settlement reac-
hed with real estate developer
Robert Mericle, one of the de-
fendants in the suits.
Keach, of Amsterdam, N.Y.,
adamantly defended his actions,
saying he believes
he has a strong fac-
tual basis tosupport
his claims against
the county and
Skrepenak.
The dispute cen-
ters on U.S. District Judge A. Ri-
chard Caputo’s ruling in Novem-
ber that dismissed the county
and Skrepenak from the lawsuit
Keach filed on behalf of Angela
Rimmer Belanger, Kelly Farmer
and their sons. The judge had
previously dismissed the county
as a defendant insevenother law-
suits related to the juvenile jus-
tice scandal.
Keach is seeking to appeal the
decision in his case to the Third
Circuit Court of Appeals. He
must obtain Caputo’s approval
first, however, because the case is
pending. Appeals normally can
only be filed once a case is resolv-
ed entirely.
In court papers filed Monday,
Myers argues Keach’s motion is
meritless. He noted Keach filed
the Rimmer Belanger and Famer
suit in July 2010, after Caputo
hadalready dismissedthe county
from other similar suits.
“They came to this fight a year
and a half late …with a claimthat
had already been dismissed by
the court,” Myers said. “The
court keeps tellingthemover and
over again you can’t bring this
claim. But they keep bringing
this claim.”
Keach said his lawsuit is differ-
ent from the others, which
namedthe countyas a defendant,
but not Skrepenak. Keach said
his lawsuit also makes specific al-
legations that Skrepenakandoth-
er county officials were directly
involved in the scheme that in-
cluded kickbacks to two county
judges, whereas the other suits
sought to hold the county liable
for failingtoproperlyoverseeem-
ployees.
“The judge ruled we did not
put forth a compelling enough
picture, but we respectfully dis-
agree,” Keach said. “Lawyers
have a right to respectfully dis-
agree with a judge and to try to
appeal that decision.”
Myers argues that the appeal, if
permitted, would delay resolu-
tion of the proposed settlement
reached with Mericle and plain-
tiffs in the other class-action
suits.
But Keach said it should have
no impact given that his clients
intend to opt out of the class-ac-
tion settlement.
“Our clients are not going to
participate in the Mericle settle-
ment. How are we going to jeop-
ardize the settlement?” Keach
said.

O
nMonday, January30, 2012, Mr.
Carl Rifenbery passed away in
Wilkes-Barre General Hospital,
with his children each holding one
of his strong hands.
Hewas borntoWilliamandStella
Mowery Rifenbery on May16, 1922,
in Luzerne, and lived his entire life
in that town.
Carl graduated from Luzerne
High School, where he played trum-
pet inthe band. By the time he was a
senior, he had mastered “Cherry
Pink and Apple Blossom White.”
He graduated from Wyoming
Seminary Dean School of Business,
knowingfull well that he wouldnev-
er work in an office. He was a fore-
man in a defense plant in New Jer-
sey and declined a deferment from
military service when it was offered
him.
When his friends joined the U.S.
Navy during World War II, Carl
joined the U.S. Army, being most re-
luctant to be near water.
The U.S. Army made a medical
Corpsmanof him, andassignedhim
to various troop ships transporting
the wounded from the European
and Pacific theaters.
This “landlubber” made several
Trans-Atlantic crossings on the
QueenMaryandtheUSSDogwood.
After three years on the water,
Carl left the Army and apprenticed
as a carpenter with Pethick Con-
struction Co. and later became a
foreman with Rex Craft Interiors.
After retirement, he continued to
workas thecrossingguardat theon-
ly traffic light in Luzerne.
Carl was a member of the Carpen-
ters Union, Local 645, the Veterans
of Foreign Wars, and the Luzerne
Volunteer Fire Company.
He coached the A’s baseball team
of the L.C.P. Little League, and
made sure that every kid got a
chance to play.
On June 15, 1946, Carl married
Carrie Eicke and thus began a most
beautiful love story. They raised
two children in a house Carl remod-
eled from top to bottom. Their fon-
dest hope was to live together in
that Charles Street home forever.
In addition to Carrie, Carl is sur-
vived by his daughter, Jane, and her
husband, David Phillips, and by his
son, Jeff, and his wife, Angie, all of
Luzerne. He was so proud of his
grandchildren, Major Stephen Carl
Phillips, U.S. Army; Heather Rifen-
bery, Luzerne; Tiffany Rifenbery,
Courtdale, and Megan Phillips Ri-
chards, Canterbury, Conn.
Carl was a larger-than-life man in
so many ways. He will be missed.
Family and friends are invit-
ed to attend a memorial ser-
vice on Saturday at 2 p.m. in the Lu-
zerne Methodist Church, Bennett
St., Luzerne, andtoshare memories
with the family from1p.m. until the
time of the service.
Wyoming Valley Children’s Asso-
ciationwas important to Carl, so his
family asks that any donations be
made to that agency. Funeral ar-
rangements are by the William A.
Reese Funeral Chapel, Plymouth.

L
ate morning on Monday, Janu-
ary 30, 2012, Constance Marie
Bush, best known as Connie, jour-
neyed to her spiritual home as her
family and dear friends exalted in
her grace and love one last time at
the home of her sister and brother-
in-law, Betsy and Ken Atkins of
Larksville.
A teacher in spirit, action and
deed her entire life, Connie injected
verve and vigor into everyday life,
transforming the mundane into
cherished occasions filled with
laughter andjoy. Shewas our gift for
57 years.
Connie approached life with gus-
to from the time she raised herself
upright for the first time and ran,
not walked, into toddlerhood.
The sprint encompassed attend-
ing St. Ann’s Academy, where she
developed her life-long passion for
the violin at the age of 7, as a mem-
ber of the orchestra before graduat-
ing from Bishop Hoban High
School, and then matriculating to
College Misericordia, where she
earned summa cumlaude honors in
1976 with a bachelor degree in mu-
sic.
After a short stint on Wall Street
with Kidder Peabody, Connie fol-
lowed her heart and entered the So-
ciety of the Holy Child Jesus, where
she taught at Rosemont School of
the Holy Child in Rosemont, Pa.,
and Oak Knoll School of the Holy
Child in Summit, N.J., before mov-
ing to NewYork City to teach at the
Nativity Mission Center on the
Lower East Side.
In 1993, Connie co-founded the
Cornelia Connelly Center, an all-
girls middle school on the Lower
East Side of Manhattan.
Connie played with the Bronx
Symphony Orchestra and traveled
to Europe each winter to play violin
with the Manhattan String Quartet.
She spent weeks each summer
cooking meals for 82 girls and coun-
selors at the Camp Holy Child in
Lake Placid, N.Y.; and frequently
sped back to Northeast Pennsylva-
nia after working a 70-hour week to
prepare a gourmet dinner complete
with Martha Stewart accompani-
ments for her family.
Unlimited exuberance emanated
fromConnie, and all who surround-
edher felt thelargeness of her spirit.
Nearly 20 years ago, Mary Claire
Ryan and Connie founded the Con-
nelly Center and created an extraor-
dinary partnership. Connie taught
while Mary Claire directedandfund
raised.
Connie delighted in the middle
school girls who populated her
classrooms and relished mentoring
the young teachers who sought her
counsel.
Connie met emotional melt-
downs of students and teachers
alike with arms extended, a com-
forting hug, and a reassuring voice.
She was the master at defusing
tense situations with love, respect,
and genuine kindness.
In 2005, when Mary Claire gave
up her post as director, Connie as-
sumed the role with much trepida-
tion. Teacher defined her self-im-
age, not administrator.
Like most challenges in life, Con-
nie forged ahead, created her punch
list, and vigorously propelled the
school into its second decade.
Whether striving to place gradu-
ates in appropriate high schools or
chauffeuring soon-to-be highschool
graduates to college visits on a
weekend, Connie’s focus always re-
mained on her students and making
their lives intellectually and emo-
tionally richer.
The role simply could not define
her; she defined the role, instilling
her magic and joie de vive whether
presenting at a board meeting, din-
ing with a prospective donor, or
dancing in the hallways with her
girls.
Connie generously devoted her
time and considerable energies as a
board member of several schools:
Cristo Rey New York High School;
Old Westbury School of the Holy
Child; School of the Holy Child,
Rye, New York and the NativityMi-
guel Network of Schools.
Connie’s role as an educator was
broad-reaching, and her expertise
and wisdomwere frequently sought
by colleagues.
When Connie received word her
breast cancer had metastasized she
tooka breath, said, “All right, what’s
the plan?” and pushed on.
Never onetofeel sorryfor herself,
she personified grace, exhibiting
strength and courage, and ultimate-
ly teaching all those who surround-
ed her how to combat this horrid
disease and act on one’s faith.
She openly talked about dying,
wishing she could live longer sim-
plybecausetherewas somuchmore
she wanted to do, yet accepting
God’s plan and embracing her spiri-
tual journey.
Connie was preceded in death by
her parents, the late Elizabeth
O’Malia Bush and John Charles
Bush of Wilkes-Barre.
She is survived by her sisters, Be-
tsy Atkins and her husband, Ken, of
Larksville; Molly Carey andher hus-
band, Jack, of Wilkes-Barre; Joan
Bushandher partner, KarenMason,
of Philadelphia, and Ellen Quinlan
Bush of Moosic; niece, Jennifer
James, and her husband, Michael,
and their daughter, Connie’s great
niece and precious joy, Olivia Mary,
of Camp Hill; and nephew, JTCarey
IV, and his wife, Jamie, of Philadel-
phia.
Celebration of Connie’s Life
will be held Friday beginning at 9
a.m. in McLaughlin’s – The Family
Funeral Service, 142 S. Washington
St., Wilkes-Barre, with a Funeral
Mass at 10 a.m. in the Church of St.
Mary of the Immaculate Concep-
tion. Family and friends are invited
to join in visitation at McLaughlin’s

as the most tangible example of
howConnie paid it forward. Perma-

WILKES-BARRE – Alawsuit
filed in December against the
Glen Summit Company, sever-
al of its officers and Luzerne
County was dropped without
explanation Monday by the at-
torney who filed it in Luzerne
County Court.
Jack Dean, an attorney for
several of the defendants
named in the suit, said Tues-
day the discontinuance likely
came after objections to the
lawsuit were filed last week.
Those objections included
that Richard Manning’s filing
was an “unintelligible com-
plaint” and a “misguided, juve-
nile, unsuccessful attempt at a
derivative action.”
The discontinuance of the
case came at the request of
Manning, a resident of the
Glen Summit community.
.
Manning filed the lawsuit
against residents and former
board directors Catherine
Hourigan, David Hourigan,
Ruth Hughes and her husband,
Luzerne County Judge Richard
Hughes, as well as Luzerne
County Director of Assess-
ments Anthony
Alu and Luzerne
County, Fairview
Township and
the Crestwood
School District.
The suit also
names any pre-
sent, past and fu-
ture board direc-
tors that Man-
ning said would
have been named
as the suit progressed.
A call to Manning’s resi-
dence Tuesday was answered
by a woman who identified
herself as Manning’s wife, and
said the matter had been dis-
continued and gave no expla-
nation before hanging up.
The law firm of Elliott
Greenleaf & Dean asked a
judge to dismiss the lawsuit in
its objections filed last week,
citing a number of problems
with the original filing.
Those problems, the attor-
neys wrote, include “vague …
allegations of” wrongful ac-
tions, a “lack of capacity to
sue,” that the filing didn’t con-
form with law or rules of the
court, that there was “insuffi-
cient specificity” in the filing
and that the lawsuit wasn’t
properly served on some par-
ties.
The objections also include
that a certain area of the law-
suit, in regards to the sale of
land, was filed about
18 years after the sale
and is outside the
statute of limita-
tions.
Mark Bufalino,
who is the lead attor-
ney for the defend-
ants, was traveling
Tuesday and could
not be reached for
comment.
Manning alleged in
the suit that beginning 25
years ago, a specific “group”
began to form and control the
company, selecting people to
serve on the board of directors
at their discretion.
Manning alleged that ap-
peals made to the county’s tax
assessment office by Glen
Summit land owners were
“corporate chicanery” and that
“negotiations” with the assess-
ment office and Alu resulted in
“unrealistically low values be-
ing assessed on (Glen Summit
Company’s) real property
holdings -- thus resulting in
grossly undervalued assess-
ments.”
Manning alleged that four
parcels the corporation owned
were not assessed high
enough.
Manning said he brought his
concerns about the values to
the school district, and that
“nothing was ever done about
the revised assessed values.”
Man’s lawsuit is dropped
Filing was against Glen
Summit Company, some of its
officers and Luzerne County.

Objections included
that Richard Man-
ning’s filing was an
“unintelligible com-
plaint” and a “mis-
guided, juvenile,
unsuccessful at-
tempt at a deriv-
ative action.”
HANOVERTWP. – Aman was
arraigned Tuesday on charges he
slashed another man in the face
with a box cutter.
Maurice Anthony Porter, 25, of
Diamond Avenue, Hanover
Township, surrendered at the of-
fice of District Judge Joseph Ha-
lesey oncharges of aggravatedas-
sault, reckless endangerment
and harassment.
Ashley police allege Porter
slashed Isaac Taylor in the face
during an argument about a
woman at 99 N. Main St. on Dec.
10.
Porter, accompanied by his
lawyer, Joseph Sklarosky Sr., was
released after posting $10,000
bail.
According to the criminal com-
plaint:
Taylor told police Porter called
a woman named Bree and stated
he was comingtopickher up. An-
other womaninthe house didnot
want Bree to go by herself, and
Taylor got onthe phone withPor-
ter.
Taylor claimed Porter told him
“he has guns” and threatened to
kill him.
Porter arrived at the apart-
ment building after the phone
call. Taylor told police he went
outside andPorter got out of a ve-
hicle and lunged at him, slashing
his face with a box cutter.
Police said there was blood
spatter outside the apartment
and down Conyngham Street
where Taylor chased after Por-
ter’s vehicle.
Taylor suffered a large lacera-
tion fromhis forehead to his chin
that required numerous stitches,
the complaint says.
Apreliminary hearingis sched-
uled on Feb. 7 before Halesey.

WILKES-BARRE – A city
womanwhopolice sayplacedher
two young children in a taxi to be
taken to another residence was
sentenced Tuesday to two years
inthe county’s Intermediate Pun-
ishment Program.
Holly Karpien, 38, of North
Washington Street, was sen-
tenced by Luzerne County Judge
Tina Polachek Gartley on two
counts of endangering the wel-
fare of children.
Karpienmust serve the first six
months of her sentence under
house arrest with an electronic
monitor and must complete 30
hours of community service.
Karpien pleaded no contest to
the charges in November.
According to court papers, on
March30 a Burgit taxi driver told
police that a younggirl andinfant
child were transported to a rela-
tive’s home in South Wilkes-
Barre.
After an investigation, police
said they learned a 10-year-old
girl and 8-month-old infant were
driven to a Jones Street home
without adult supervision. When
a relative at that home did not an-
swer the door, the cab driver re-
turned to Karpien’s residence.
Police said a second taxi was
called, and that’s when police
were notified.
Police said the temperature
was about 20 degrees that night,
and the 10-year-old was dressed
in pajamas, slippers and a jacket
while the 8-month-old was wear-
ing only lightweight pajamas
with no blanket, jacket or head
covering.
Police later spoke with Kar-
pien, who said she made a “ter-
rible mistake” and had made an
“error in judgment.” She told po-
lice that while it was not her in-
tent to place the children in dan-
ger, she sawhowpotentially dan-
gerous her actions were, accord-
ing to the criminal complaint.
Karpien said Tuesday she is
sorry for what happened. Kar-
pien was ordered to undergo a
drug and alcohol evaluation and
is to follow recommendations
fromLuzerne County Children&
Youth.
“This could have been a terri-
ble catastrophe,” Polachek Gar-
tley said.

regulators approved a 39-mile
natural gas pipeline through
northern Pennsylvania’s pristine

more than 150 property owners

1pipeline in the heart of the giant
Marcellus Shale gas field, the
company began condemnation
proceedings against nearly half of
the landowners — undercutting
part of the Federal Energy Regu-
latory Commission’s approval ra-
tionaleandangeringlandowners.
Some of the landowners are
now fighting the company in
court, complaining that Central
New York Oil and Gas Company
LLC steamrolled them by refus-
ing to negotiate in good faith on
monetary compensation and the
pipeline’s location. Their attor-
neys say CNYOG has skirted
Pennsylvania’s eminent domain
rules.
The company, a subsidiary of
Inergy LPof Kansas City, Mo., in-
sists it’s trying to reach a “fair set-
tlement” with all property own-
ers and wants to be a good neigh-
bor.
The dispute could foreshadow
eminent domain battles to come
as more pipelines are approved
and built to carry shale gas to
market.
The company promotes the
MARC 1 pipeline as key infras-
tructure in developing the Mar-
cellus Shale. The MARC1, a high-
pressure steel pipeline 30 inches
in diameter, will connect to ma-
jor interstate pipelines and the
company’s own natural gas stor-
age facility in southern NewYork
state.
CNYOG hopes to start con-
struction soon and finish by July,
but it awaits permits from Penn-
sylvania environmental regula-
tors and the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers.
It also needs to answer the le-
gal challenge from residents.
Many of the complaining lan-
downers say they favor natural
gas drilling andsome have leased
land to gas drillers. What rankles
them is that FERC has invested
CNYOG with the power of emi-
nent domain, taking away their
bargaining power.
“Once the government be-
comes involved, this is what hap-
pens. Because you lose that lev-
erage,” said Amy Gardner, who,
with her husband, faces condem-
nation of part of their 175-acre
parcel in Sullivan County.
The Gardners say CNYOG of-
fered less than a third of the
amount that another pipeline
company had previously paid
themtoinstall a gatheringline on
their land. The difference? Gath-
ering lines — smaller pipelines
that takegas fromthewellheadto
a transmission line or processing
facility — are not regulated by
the federal government and com-
panies that operate them don’t
have condemnation power.
Amy Gardner said a company
representative who made them
the lowball offer told them to
“take it or leave it.”
Amounts offered by CNYOG
range froma fewhundred dollars
to tens of thousands of dollars,
depending on the amount of
property taken. Court papers fil-
ed by CNYOG in late December
say it valued damages at 37 con-
demned properties in Sullivan
County at $310,900.
Another landowner, Lisa Ri-
chlin, has appealed to federal reg-
ulators to force CNYOG to aban-
don plans for an access road
along her property. Richlin said
the road is at the bottomof a long
hill and around a sharp bend
where there have beenmanyacci-
dents, at least one of them fatal.
WhenRichlinpressedthe com-
pany to use an alternate route a
short distance away, she said, the
company told her that would re-
sult in a six-month delay.

The North Branch Land Trust
may allow natural gas to be ex-
tracted from beneath one of its
properties in Wyoming County.
The conservation nonprofit
has updated its subsurface fossil
fuels and minerals extraction
policy to allow subsurface gas
drilling on land trust properties
on a case-by-case basis. Execu-
tive Director Paul Lumia said
Tuesday the change in policy is
actually an effort to protect its
property from the industrial ac-
tivities associated with surface
drilling activities.
The land trust owns 667 acres
of land on the Vosberg Neck, an
oxbowbend in the Susquehanna
River surrounded by pristine
wilderness located in Washing-
ton Township, Wyoming Coun-
ty. The property, bequeathed to
the land trust in 2006 by Ernest
E. Howland, is the largest owned
by the organization and stretch-
es nearly twomiles alongthe riv-
er. Drilling has
been active in the
surrounding re-
gion, and several
adjacent landown-
ers have signed
leases with gas
companies. Ac-
cording to Lumia, the land trust
hopes that if it allows subsurface
drilling under the property, it
will be able to negotiate with
drilling companies to keep sur-
face drilling, and the associated
roads, trucks and pipelines away
from the Vosberg Neck.
“We’ll discuss with any gas
company who’s doing the drill-
ingupthere the possibility of do-
ing non-surface leasing if we can
effect change to keep surface
drilling off of it,” Lumia said. “It
may never happen; we may not
do it ... (but) as the gas compa-
nies ratchet up their operations
and make the decision to drill in
andaroundthat land, we want to
be at the table and we want to af-
fect the outcome.”
The change deletes a clause in
the land trust’s subsurface ex-
traction policy added two years
ago, which stated the trust
would not engage in subsurface
leasing.
“Our policy always allowed us
to look at a subsurface leasing
agreement if thetimewas right,”
Lumia said, adding the trust’s
board did not feel the time was
right in 2010 because drilling
was not occurring as close to its
land then as it is today.
Those who have placed prop-
erties into conservation ease-
ment through North Branch
Land Trust have always had the
option of allowing subsurface
extraction, and Lumia said 80
percent to 90 percent of ease-
ment holders in drilling regions
have signed subsurface lease
agreements. Surface drilling,
like all surface industrial and
commercial development, is for-
bidden on eased properties.
Lumia said the land trust
stands to profit if a gas company
exercises a lease on one of its
properties. While that would
benefit the trust and allow it to
purchase more property for con-
servation, Lumia said potential
financial gainis not the mainrea-
son for the change in policy.
“If we don’t come to the table,
we may see truck traffic coming
through our property, drilling
rigs comingthroughtoour prop-
erty, and we don’t want to see
that,” he said.
Trust will allow drilling

Prothonotary calls budget
bogus, harmful to county
W
ords cannot express how disappoint-
ed I am that the Luzerne County
Council apparently is about to make
an uneducated decision that will compro-
mise the county’s judicial system and other
services.
It is unfortunate that the council, in my
opinion, inherited the past administrators’
many years of blatant mishandling of
funds. Former commissioner and current
council member Stephen A. Urban sug-
gests that the commissioners’ budget is
realistic. If that is true, then it would con-
firm that the former administration failed
the taxpayers miserably by not implement-
ing their bogus budget years ago instead of
digging the financial hole deeper and deep-
er with irresponsible spending.
During my past and present terms, I
repeatedly have demonstrated my concern
about wasteful spending. Starting with my
1998 term, one of my many outspoken
challenges was the county policy of having
a photographer on the payroll. The Times
Leader supported my concern and imple-
mented a policy that it would not publish a
photo submitted by the county-paid pho-
tographer, but instead offered to send its
own as needed. It was then that the county
photographer became history.
Immediately upon taking office in Janu-
ary 2010, I challenged and stopped the
misspending of approximately $900,000
from the records retention fund. I reported
my findings to the Secret Service.
I challenged part-time employees (most-
ly solicitors) receiving full-time benefits,
and over the years this concern received
some consideration. I challenged over-
paying for supplies, repairs, etc., and re-
duced our costs these past two years by
about $170,000; meanwhile, we have in-
creased our revenue by more than
$500,000.
I have made e-filing available with the
goal to becoming productive in a cost-
efficient manner. Without the proper staff
to train and support the system, the suc-
cess of e-filing will be doomed. In the
foreseeable future, when e-filing is running
full force with the proper staffing, the
county should be able to drastically in-
crease revenue while cutting costs.
If our staff is reduced, we would have to
eliminate the passport department that
generates approximately $65,000 of reve-
nue. Those passport employees would be
needed for processing time-sensitive legal
documents. Maintaining organization for
our warehoused documents would be a
service we could no longer provide. These
are only a few of my concerns about our
ability to give excellent service.
The bogus budget that was passed by
the former administration is doomed for
failure. Shame on the commissioners’
administration.

Rotating pool of lawyers
could ease court burden
W
e have been watching with interest
The Times Leader’s series of articles
about the Luzerne County Public
Defender’s Office. It appears that the at-
torneys in the office have heavy caseloads
and, as a result, their clients might or
might not be getting the best legal repre-
sentation.
We think that a simple solution can be
found in the system that we physicians use
at our hospitals. When a patient arrives at
the hospital without a physician, he or she
is assigned to a primary doctor, on a rotat-
ing basis, who is responsible for the pa-
tient’s medical care while hospitalized. We
refer to this as a “service call,” as the ma-
jority of time neither the hospital nor the
doctor is compensated for the patient’s
care.
We feel that is our duty, and part of our
Hippocratic Oath, to care for those folks
who are in need of care but unable to af-
ford it. Every doctor on staff participates
as part of his or her agreement of being
granted privileges to practice medicine.
In the same way, we feel that the less
fortunate who need legal help should be
assigned an attorney who has been ad-
mitted to the bar in Luzerne County.
Again, these attorneys would be assigned
on a rotating basis, so as not to overburden
any one attorney.
We believe this would benefit not only
the folks in need of legal representation,
but also would alleviate the overburdened
Public Defender’s Office. Such a program
should be created with adequate deliber-
ation of all parties involved and instituted
in an incremental fashion. It would be
fitting that less complex cases be assigned
to the rotating pool, while more complex
cases are assigned to the Public Defender’s
Office.
Although this plan would often lead to
no compensation for the attorneys in-
volved in the rotating pool, it would bene-
fit not only our overburdened Public De-
fender’s Office, but also the citizenry of
Luzerne County. It is just one more oppor-
tunity for folks in our community to lend a
helping hand to one another.

Student learns altruism
through Coach Paterno
I
never met Joe Paterno. In fact, when I
arrived at Penn State University as a
freshman from sleepy Mountain Top five
months ago, all I knew of “JoePa” was that
he was a great football coach who donated
a library to the university.
I was fortunate to be a member of the
Blue Band last semester and was fully
immersed in Penn State’s football culture,
allowing me to glean a little more about
the man behind the glasses. But there was
still more I didn’t know.
What I didn’t know was, unfortunately,
revealed to me through the worst circum-
stances when Paterno succumbed to lung
cancer on Jan. 22. After attending both the
candlelight vigil on that Sunday and the
memorial service last week I gained true
perspective on exactly who Joseph Vincent
Paterno was.
He was possibly the world’s only altruist.
He took the responsibilities of Penn State’s
head coach and shouldered more of his
own. Being the coach wasn’t about win-
ning; it was about molding men through a
team sport. It was about being the person
who made sure their academics were in
line. It was about supporting the faculty
who wanted to improve the university and
about asking students he knew how their
studies were going. Joe made it his person-
al mission to better the lives of everyone to
whom he spoke. As a result, he even bet-
tered the lives of people he didn’t know.
People like me.
I did not meet Joe. But I would be lying
if I said I didn’t learn something from him.
After witnessing only a small fraction of
the lives he touched, Coach Paterno taught
me that your life won’t have meaning with
trophies on the wall, records in the book or
money in the bank. Life has meaning only
if the lives of others do, too. Because that’s
the right way – the Paterno way.

“
MARY, MARY, QUITE
contrary,” asks a chil-
dren’s rhyme, “how does
your garden grow?”
When contrary Mary grows up
and becomes a real gardening
enthusiast, she will find that it
takes more than silver bells and
cockle shells. It takes the Plant
Hardiness Zone Map.
That is the map that guides
gardeners intheUnitedStates –
anestimated80millionof them
– and farmers on what they can
safely plant where they live.
The U.S. Department of Agri-
culture last week updated the
mapfor the first since1990, and
it might be that climate is the
contrary one.
The new map is generally 5
degrees Fahrenheit warmer
throughout much of the coun-
try. It includes 13 zones, with
the addition of zones 12 and13.
The plant hardiness zones
represent the average annual
extreme minimum temper-
atures, which best indicate
whether certain plants are a
good bet to survive winter in
specific locations. Being an av-
erage, they don’t record the
lowest temperature for a loca-
tion.
Pittsburgh, which was in
Zone 5 (minus-20 to minus-10)
is nowinZone 6B(minus-5 to 0
degrees). The new map does
raise the question of whether
climate change might be in-
volved.
That conclusionmight betoo
much of a leap. The USDA
points out that someof thezone
changes are the result of more
sophisticatedmethods for map-
ping, including algorithms that
for the first time factor in
changes in elevation and close-
ness to large bodies of water.
Still, world temperatures
havebeenrising. Inthemidst of
amildwinter, what’s happening
is something for gardeners to
debate as they wait for spring.

D
ID DOZENS OF cor-
rupt public officials
from Northeastern
Pennsylvania accom-
plish their dirty deals with
shakedowns or with handshak-
es?
Did they prey on unwitting
business owners? Or did they
discover, once in office, plenty
of unethical sorts lining up and
offering cash for
government con-
tracts and other fa-
vors?
Are the region’s
political bosses
that daunting and
strong?
Or are too many
of our business
owners that weak? That des-
perate for work?
That dishonest?
Those questions have cross-
ed many people’s minds, and
lips, as they watched a stream
of former public servants – in-
cluding ex-commissioners
fromLackawanna and Luzerne
counties, disgraced Luzerne
County judges and other big-
wigs – sent to prison for illegal
actions. Few of their partners
in crime – or, should we say,
victims – have been similarly
punished or, in some cases,
even identified.
That’s, in part, due to the
federal legal system. Prosecu-
tors trying to root out corrup-
tion understandably give high-
er priority to pursuing and
punishing elected officials –
the ones who wield the power,
abuse the public trust and ulti-
mately cheat the taxpayers. To
hook these “big fish,” prosecu-
tors sometimes allowthe small
fry to get immunity for their
cooperation, to plea to lesser
crimes or to slip away.
Maybe the law needs to be
changed. Perhaps penalties
could be in-
creased for busi-
nessmen and
businesswomen
who shirk their
legal obligation
to report public
officials who
lean on themfor
kickbacks.
More immediately, however,
residents of Luzerne County
needtopressure their chamber
of commerce chiefs, top busi-
ness leaders and other influen-
tial community members to
address what appears to be a
largely unchecked, pay-to-play
atmosphere.
Ask what they have done to
kick corruption from within
their ranks. Demand that grea-
ter emphasis be placed on re-
porting procedures and self-
policing efforts pertaining to
suspected corruption. Urge
discussions on ethics and fair-
ness.
Force a change in the culture
now. Or, later, you can forget
about things operating any bet-
ter.

WILKES-BARRE– Former Lu-
zerne County Commissioner Ste-
phen A. Urban is reported to be
circulating nominating petitions
in the 17th Congressional Dis-
trict, apparently joining Lacka-
wanna County attorney Matt
Cartwright in a challenge to
Democratic incumbent U.S. Rep.
Tim Holden.
Urban, a Republican-turned-
Democrat, is one of 11 Luzerne
CountyCouncil members. Hedid
not return messages left on his
cellphone since Friday.
Kathy Kane, chairwoman of
the Luzerne County Democratic
Committee, said Tuesday she
“has heard” that Urban is circu-
lating petitions.
“But I haven’t seen them,” she
said. “I’ve only heard that he is
running.”
Eric Nagy, Holden’s campaign
manager, said his staff had
learned that Urban was circulat-
ing petitions to earn a spot on the
April 24 Democratic Primary bal-
lot. “As withMatt Cartwright, we
welcome Mr. Urban to the race,”
Nagy said.
Kane said the Luzerne County
Democratic Party Executive
Committee will hold an informa-
tional meeting Tuesday and all
known candidates have been
asked to attend or send represen-
tation.
The 17th District has a new
look – 75 percent of the munici-
palities are new even to Holden,
including Wilkes-Barre, Pittston,
Scranton and several other mu-
nicipalities in Northeastern
Pennsylvania.
On the Republican side, Lau-
reen Cummings, a Tea Party or-
ganizer from Old Forge, is plan-
ning to get into the race in an ef-
fort tounseat Holden, of St. Clair,
who is seeking his 11th term in
Congress.
Cummings, 47, a divorced
mother of four, owns a private du-
ty nursing agency. She was an or-
ganizer of the Tea Party groups in
Scranton, Carbondale and
Throop.
“My message is I am for fiscal
responsibility, education and I
am pro-life,” she said. “I want to
make sure we get GOP represen-
tation to cut the excessive spend-
ing in Washington.”
Urban, 59, served as a Luzerne
County commissioner from2000
until the end of 2011, when he
took office on county council. He
ranas a Republicanfor lieutenant
governor in 2010, as well as for
state Senate against John Yudi-
chak.
At the end of 2010, Urban
switched to the Democratic Par-
ty, saying the GOP did not sup-
port him in his campaigns.
Potential primary candidates
need 1,000 valid signatures on
the petitions, said MatthewKeel-
er, spokesman for the Pennsylva-
nia Department of State.

first had to defeat political activ-
ist Sheila Dow Ford in the pri-

beating Republican challenger
state Sen. Dave Argall 56 to 44
percent.
Holden already is facing a pri-
mary challenge for the Demo-
cratic nomination, from Moosic
lawyer Matt
Cartwright,
who an-
nounced his
candidacy
on Jan. 24.
The filing
deadline for
his first cam-
paign fi-
nance re-
port – detailing Jan. 1 through
March 31 figures -- is April 15,
less than10 days before the April
24 primary election.

Stephen A. Urban is reported to
be circulating nominating pet-
itions. Nowa Democrat, he once
ran for the state Senate and lieu-
tenant governor as aRepublican.
The 17th District will include
Wilkes-Barre, Scranton, Easton
and Pittston next year thanks to
redistricting maps that were ap-
proved last year by the state leg-
islature.
The one Republican to con-
firm she has entered the race is
Tea Party activist Laureen Cum-
mingsof OldForge, whorecently
dropped her bid to run for U.S.
Senate. Shedidn’t raiseanymon-
ey in2011, so no report was filed.
Lou Barletta and TomMarino
The campaign for freshman
U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Hazle-
ton, reported $269,498 in the
bank at year’s end. His campaign
raised $146,978 in the fourth
quarter and spent $101,803. The
campaign also reported an out-
standing debt of $85,102. Of
that, $72,500 was in personal
loans Barletta made to his cam-
paign.
“Rep. Barletta’s campaign
posted another successful fun-
draising quarter,” said campaign
manager Lance Stange Jr. “Lou’s
grassroots organization and fi-
nancial support will allowhimto
start 2012 in a very strong posi-
tion.”Of the two Democrats
looking to unseat Barletta in the
11th District, only one had a
functioning campaign last year
and was required to file an end-
of-year report showing cam-
paign finances.
Wilkes-Barre attorney Wil-
liam Vinsko, who lives in the
17th District but is seeking the
11thDistrict office, reportedrais-
ing $20,574 and spending
$34,580 so far. He started the
year with $52,786 on hand.Vin-
sko said the first few months of
fundraisinghavebeensuccessful
but added that it “will really get
into gear this quarter.”
TedGumina, aDemocrat from
Swoyersville, announced his ef-
forts tounseat Barletta inlate Ja-
nuary, so no year-end campaign
finance report was mandated.
In the 10th District, which be-
ginning next year will not in-
clude any of Luzerne County, in-
cumbent U.S. Rep. TomMarino,
R-Lycoming Township, so far
has one declaredopponent. Phil-
lip Scollo, a Democrat from
Dingman Township in Pike
County, told the News Eagle
newspaper in Hawley that he is
embarking on an “exploratory
expedition” to assess the feasi-
bility of running for the seat.
Marino, alsoinhis first termin
Congress, reported $194,781
cash on hand entering this year.
His campaign raised $68,717 in
the fourth quarter of 2011 and
spent $46,602.

with Geisinger President and CEO Dr.
Glenn Steele.
“Community Medical Center has rep-
resented, in the eyes of this community,
an organization that’s transcended three
centuries. There’s a name there that’s
important to retain.”
Steigmeyer called the merger and un-
veilingof the newname byeight workers
collectively representing more than 158
years of service to the Scranton hospital
a “100-year move for this region.”
Geisinger’s clinical innovations have
helped make them internationally re-
nowned, Steigmeyer said.
“It’s organizations like Geisinger and
others who are really setting the tone for
the future of healthcare,” he said. “We’re
fortunate that there is a fellow Pennsyl-
vania non-profit corporation here that
we can work with,” he said.
The merger is expected to bring new
investment in neurosciences and addi-
tional clinical capabilities focused on
cardiovascular care, a greater emphasis
onpartnerships withprimary care physi-
cians, and new attention to general and
surgical subspecialties to meet the
needs of the area’s population.
Plans for physical facilities include im-
proved intensive care and surgery envi-
ronments and a “significant investment
in information technology” through a
capital commitment of $158.6 million
from Geisinger.
Steigmeyer said CMC’s management
team will continue to be developed as it
adds new faces, including a permanent
chief financial officer andothers tobean-
nounced in the coming weeks.
Today’s merger completes a process
that began with the development of a
strategic plan in the fall of 2010, Steig-
meyer said.
CMC and Geisinger built a collabora-

posal to raise taxes anduse $1.4 millionin
capital funding to help repay debt.
The tax increase will amount to about
$10.50 more on a property assessed at
$100,000. Property taxes are currently
5.215 mills, or $521on a $100,000 proper-
ty.
The capital funding and $1.7 million
from the tax hike will essentially cover a
$3 million increase in county debt repay-
ments totaling $24.3 million this year,
Pribula said.
Six of 11 council votes are required to
amend the budget.
Council members Jim Bobeck, Tim
McGinley, Linda McClosky Houck and
EugeneKelleheralsosupport thetaxhike.
Dozens of union workers in the audi-
ence applauded their decision.
Maddon Curry said she opposed a tax
increase“all along” but changedher mind
because she’s convinced services would
be compromised.
“It’s mygreatest fear that wewill becut-
ting services and ultimately hurting the
most vulnerable citizens of the county,”
she said.
Haas said the thought of raising taxes
makeshim“shudder”becausehe’sconser-
vative, but he believes additional cuts
must be made “surgically” over time.
“It’s not professional to come in and
make rampant cuts right fromthe get-go,”
he said.
Kelleher said he’d prefer to see the cap-
ital funding spent on technology but sup-
ported the plan because more time is
needed to work through solutions.
“Thetaxpayershavetohaveagoodgov-
ernment, and it cannot function if we cut
so many people that the government is
not going to function properly,” he said.
McGinley said he supports the plan be-
causehedoesn’t want tojeopardizeservic-
es.
McClosky Houck said council mem-
bers were elected to make county govern-
ment moreefficient, but that can’t bedone
in a month. Robert Lawton, the newly
hired manager, will need time to restruc-
ture, she said.
Bobeck said he and the other council
members who supported the tax hike are
trying to give the new home rule govern-
ment “achancetofigureitself out” -- not to
save jobs.
Council membersRickMorelli, Edward
Brominski, Stephen A. Urban, Rick Wil-
liams and Stephen J. Urban voted against
the tax hike.
Williams said taking bond proceeds to
pay debt service is a “bad practice” that
will hurt the county’s efforts to obtain a
credit rating needed to lower interest
rates on outstanding debt.
Stephen A. Urban, a former commis-
sioner, said county taxes were raised 25
percent inrecent years, andhe is skeptical
of verbal promises from union members
that they will work on future savings with
county officials.
Prison union representative Tom Bo-
ram told council Tuesday his union will
negotiate savings with county officials.
He challenged prison Warden Joseph
Piazza’s assertion that the union has re-
jected his efforts to obtain concessions
and said he hopes safety is not compro-
mised by cuts. The prison is slated to lose
14 positions under the revised budget.
“Local 1310 is willing to sit down with
thisboardandhelpestablishtrust againin
county government, but it will not be at
thetotal expenseof our membership,” Bo-
ramsaid.
Assistant District Attorney James
McMonagle Jr. said he could make more
money in the private sector with18 years
of legal experience, but he is willing to
earn the equivalent of $40 per hour be-
cause he is committed to public service.
“As a county employee, I have to ask,
why is it our fault that the county has al-
most $500 million in debt and a $24 mil-
lion debt service?”
Paula Schnelly, of the American Feder-
ation of State, County & Municipal Em-
ployees, or AFSCME, union, said most of
the workers inthe audience were afraidto
speak. Sheaccusedcouncil of “hurtingthe
little guy” and asked the members to look
into the faces of people who would be los-
ing their jobs.
The revised $120.7 million spending
plan cuts $4.5 million compared to last
year’s $125.2 million budget. Spending
would have been capped at $118.7 million
with the no-hike budget that originally
had majority council support.
The district attorney’s budget will de-
crease $409,100 to $4.4 million under the
newplan, insteadof $680,000intheprevi-
ous version.
Spending in court branches will be re-
duced $1.7 million, from $23.6 million
budgeted last year to $21.8 million. An es-
timated 17 layoffs would be required in
court offices.
County Deputy Court Administrator
Michael Shucosky, who attended the
meeting, said court officials must review
the latest figures before commenting.
The district attorney and courts have
the option to sue over budget cuts.

paign, exit polls showed a gender
gap, and it worked to Romney’s
advantage.
He was leading Gingrich 51-29
among women voters, and was
winningmenby a far smaller mar-
gin of 41-36.
Ominously for the thrice-mar-
ried Gingrich, only about half of
women voters said they had a fa-
vorable view of him as a person,
compared to about eight in 10 for
Romney.
As in Iowa, New Hampshire
and South Carolina, about half of
Florida primary voters said the
most important factor for them
was backing a candidate who
coulddefeat ObamainNovember,
according to exit poll results con-
ducted for The Associated Press
and the television networks.
Not surprisingly, in a state with
an unemployment rate hovering
around 10 percent, about two-
thirds of voters said the economy
was their top issue.
The winner-take-all primary
was worth 50 Republican Nation-
al Convention delegates, by far
the most of any primary state so
far. That gave Romney a total of
87, to 26 for Gingrich, 14 for San-
torum and four for Paul, with
1,144 required to clinch the nomi-
nation.
But the bigger prize was pre-
cious political momentum in the
race to pick an opponent for Oba-
ma ina nationstrugglingtorecov-
er from the deepest recession in
decades.
That belonged to Romney
whenhecapturedtheNewHamp-
shire primary three weeks ago,
then swung stunningly to Gin-
grich when he countered with a
SouthCarolinaupset11days later.
Now it was back with the for-
mer Massachusetts governor, af-
ter a 10-day comeback marked by
a change to more aggressive tac-
tics, coupled with an efficient use
of an overwhelming financial ad-
vantage to batter Gingrich in tele-
vision commercials.
Gingrichbrushedasideanytalk
of quitting the race.
“We are going to contest every-
place,” he said, standing in front
of a sign that read “46 states to
go.”
The race now turns to Nevada,
where Romney won the state’s
caucuses four years ago and is fa-
vored to repeat his triumph this
Saturday. Caucuses in Colorado,
Minnesota and Maine follow,
with primaries in Wisconsin on
Feb. 21 and in Michigan and Ari-
zona at the end of the month.
Santorum was already in Neva-
da Tuesday night, campaigning
for the state’s caucuses on Satur-
day. “Newt Gingrich had his
chance. He had his shot,” he said.
NowRepublicans are “looking for
a different conservative.”
Santorum and Paul both also
campaigned in Colorado on Tues-
day as Florida Republicans were
voting. The state has caucuses on
Feb7, the same day as Minnesota.

For one last day, Penn State’s
recruiting efforts will be defined as
much by the players who will not be
coming to Happy Valley.
The Nittany Lions are set to finalize
their class of 2012 today on national
signing day, led by local standout Eu-
gene Lewis, who is rated as Penn
State’s top prospect by recruiting ser-
vices Scout and Rivals.
Eighteen players, including Lewis,
are expected to send in a letter of in-
tent to Penn State today. A 19th, Pitts-
burgh-area tight end/tackle Jesse
James, graduated early from high
school and is already enrolled at Uni-
versity Park for the spring semester.
The effects of the Jerry Sandusky
scandal and the overhaul of the Lions
coaching staff, however, have been
evident.
Six high-profile players who had giv-
en verbal commitments to Penn State
before November will instead sign to-
day with other schools,
with many heading to
join rival Ohio State and
new coach Urban Meyer.
“Obviously we’re in a tran-
sition period, and there’s always
going to be guys who decide to go else-
where,” Penn State coach Bill O’Brien
told The Times Leader last week.
“If they don’t want to be at Penn
State, that’s their opinion, their

The final countdown for recruits
The Wyoming Valley Confer-
ence released its new broadcast
policy Tuesday, which can impose
fees of up to $600 per event on
broadcasters of high school sport-
ingevents.
Radiobroadcasts areset for afee
of $25 per event, as is webcasting,
which is defined by the WVC as
“live video streaming.” Televised
football, basketball and wrestling
events can carry fees of up to $600
for a live broadcast and $200 for a
delayedbroadcastthatisnotonthe
same calendar day.
The policy was passed by the
WVC athletic directors at their re-
cent athletics council meeting.
“This is a product of the current
economic situation facing school
districts,” Berwick athletic direc-
tor Tim Honeywell said. “State
funds are being cut. Some schools
are charging their athletes partici-
pation fees. District 2 eliminated
all of its junior high champion-
ships.
“We’re looking for ways to offset
costs tomember schools.”
The policy was something of a
shock to area broadcasters, who
usually do not face a decision re-
garding broadcast fees until the
District 2 playoffs andPIAAcham-
pionships.
“Well, $25 a broadcast doesn’t
sound like anything, but it sets a
bad precedent,” said Jim Doyle,

INDIANAPOLIS — Quick, Wes Welker,
spell Bill Belichick. Hey, Osi Umenyiora, know
any other Elis besides that Manning guy? Rob
Gronkowski, what’s your favorite song by
Madonna?
Not exactly challenging questions about
Sunday’s Super Bowl between the New York
Giants and New England Patriots. But that’s
media day, the NFL’s annual version of the
circus, minus the ringmaster.
With players and coaches penned into cu-
bicles, mainstream reporters were joined Tues-
day by a guy in a superhero costume, another
in an old-time football uniform, kids with
microphones and some women who wore
dresses that left little to the imagination. They
asked the Patriots and
Giants anything that
crossed their minds.
And we do mean any-
thing.
“This is crazy, man. It’s
crazy,” said Patriots safety
Patrick Chung. “I’ve never
seen anything like this
ever.”
Actually, none of the
players had. For the first
time, the NFL let fans in
on the act, too. For $25 — or more, for those
who waited until the last minute to buy their
tickets — fans could sit in the stands at the

LEHMAN TWP. – The
strategywasn’t anythingnew
to GAR.
The idea – this time at-
tempted by Lake-Lehman on
Tuesday night – was to pay
special attention to GAR pe-
rimeter threat Darrell Craw-
ford and make the Grena-
diers pump the brakes on
their fast-paced offense.
And like on other occa-
sions, it worked …for awhile.
Crawford triggered a 22-
point second quarter with
nine points as GAR raced
past Lehman 60-37 for a
Wyoming Valley Conference
Division III victory.
“You just have to let the
game come to you,” said
Crawford, who led a trio of
Grenadiers in double figures
with 17 points, “and play
hard and play good defense
and get out on transition.
Hopefully, you score points
that way.”
That pretty muchsummed
up Tuesday’s game. Once
Crawford turned a turnover
into a fastbreak layup, GAR
(2-0 Div. III, 15-1overall) was
up for good, 16-15 at 4:53 of
the second quarter.
Lehman (1-1, 10-7) didn’t
help itself by playing into the

YATESVILLE – Coughlin
coach Steve Stahl can only
been seen wearing a neck tie
on important occasions.
Tuesday’s meet against
Pittston Area was the biggest
of the season in so many
ways that the fifth-year head
coach pulled out the navy
blue tie once again -- and he
even utilized a secret weap-
on.
The Crusaders knockedoff
the Patriots, 39-27 at a
packed house at Pittston Ar-
ea to claim a share of the
Wyoming Valley Conference
Division I championship and
get the conference’s top seed
for this weekend’s District 2
Class 3A Duals Tournament.
The win was also Coughlin’s
first against Pittston Area in
at least 12 years, according to
Stahl.
Coughlin claimed its first
division title since winning
the East Divisionin2004 and
is co-champions with Wyom-
ing Valley West, which
claimed its first division
championship since winning
the West Division in 1999.
The Crusaders (5-1 D-I) get
the top seed based on win-
ningthe head-to-headmatch-
up with the Spartans (5-1).
Valley West will be the No. 2
seed and Pittston Area (4-2)
is seeded third.

EVEN THOUGH the
Wyoming Valley Con-
ference was finishing a
run of four state cham-
pions in 2004 and
2005, programs were
struggling to fill li-
neups.
Longtime coaches were saying publi-
cly how difficult it was to get kids out.
The sport was the butt of jokes emerging
about the number of forfeits during each
dual.
In just a few years, the numbers are
back up and the sport is beginning to
generate the interest it once had with
athletes and fans.
Sure there are still forfeits in duals –
mostly in the upper weights – but huge
strides have been made recently.
You don’t need much more evidence
than looking at last week’s dual pitting
Dallas and Lake-Lehman. The gym in
Lehman Township was near capacity
and there was just one forfeit, which is a
far cry from two years ago when the
Black Knights gave up as many seven
forfeits during meets.
Last weekend, the Mountaineers host-
ed Wyoming Area and again only one
forfeit was given up, this time by the
Warriors. In most of their other duals
this season, the Warriors didn’t allow
any free points.
Those are three schools from Division
II, which generally is the weaker divi-
sion.
“It’s a good sign for wrestling in gener-
al that we’re starting to get full lineups,”
Dallas coach Mike Richards said. “It’s
better for the fans. It’s better for every-
one. It’s good for the whole conference
and the whole district in general to have
more and more spots filled.”
Looking for more proof, how about
last night’s dual between Coughlin and
Pittston Area for a share of the Division I
championship. The crowd brought down
the house in Yatesville in an intense
meet, which consisted of no forfeits.
It wasn’t that long ago that the Cru-
saders were getting sparse crowds for
home meets, now fans are flocking to
opposing gymnasiums and they could’ve
stayed home and watched Tuesday’s
meet on television.
The reasons for the rocketing in the
sport’s interest in the Wyoming Valley
Conference are fairly noticeable. First
and foremost, the junior high teams and
elementary programs are grabbing vast
interest. Secondly, wrestlers are becom-
ing more dedicated to wanting to win
gold medals.
The fan base may not be as big as
those for a high school boys basketball
game or as rowdy as a dual in District 3,
4 or 11, but it sure is pleasing to see
similarities in both categories.
MYTYCH’S METHOD
In last weekend’s meet against Dallas,
Wyoming Area fans were puzzled as to
the method coach Steve Mytych was
using for his two-time District 2 Class
2A champion Andy Schutz.
Turns out, Mytych, the Warriors’
first-year mentor and very knowledge-
able and experienced grappler, wanted
Schutz to wrestle a bigger and taller
opponent to start prepping for the post-
season. Schutz weighed in at 134.5
pounds and was too heavy to wrestle at
132. Mytych bumped his grappler up to
145, where he faced a lanky Zach Ma-
cosky from Dallas. Schutz still managed
a 6-2 victory and pleased his coach in the
process.
“You have to finish the right way. If
you take the easy way out against a
lesser guy that might work, but against a
bigger guy you have to finish the right
way every time. If you don’t, the weight
will just outweigh the incorrect finish,”
Mytych said. “And that’s what he did to
finish the match rather than just the guy
falling over for you.”
A RARE TREAT
Wyoming Seminary spends most of its
season traveling all over the country to
take part in tournaments or dual meets.
Today, the Blue Knights will travel less
than four miles to Plymouth to face
Wyoming Valley West, a rival in many
other sports.
Seminary is highly-ranked nationally
by several outlets and already has three
seniors committed to Division I pro-
grams next year in Dom Malone (North-
western), A.J. Vizcarrondo (West Virgin-
ia) and Evan Botwin (Duke).
Tonight’s meet will be the second time
this season the Knights stayed in the
area. They had a home meet on Jan. 7,
but that was the same day as the WVC
Tournament, which ironically was won
by the Spartans.

78-50. Tonight’s game, however,
will be at Misericordia, where the
Cougars are 8-1 on the season.
On the women’s side, Miser-
icordia (10-8, 6-2) remains com-
fortably in the playoff picture af-
ter holding off FDU-Florham on
Saturday, giving interim coach
Dave Martinhis first winwiththe
team.
The Lady Colonels (5-14, 0-8)
snapped a recent nine-game slide
with a non-conference win over
Cedar Crest and are looking for
their first league victory.
Elsewhere, both the King’s
women’s and men’s teams face
bigtests whenthey travel toEast-
ern tonight for games at 6 and 8
p.m., respectively.
One week later, and first place
is back on the line.
Afour-game winning streak for
Misericordia and back-to-back
losses for Wilkes have opened up
the Freedom Conference men’s
basketball race, which continues
when the local rivals face off at 8
p.m. today.
The women’s teams will tip-off
at 6 p.m. at Misericordia’s Ander-
son Center.
Wilkes had raced out to first
place by starting 6-0 in the
league. But Eastern halted the
runlast Wednesday andthe Colo-
nels were then shocked by cellar-
dwelling Delaware Valley on Sat-
urday.
The Colonels held a nine-point
lead in the final minute over the
weekend in Doylestown, but the
host Aggies pulled out the come-
back to force overtime, eventual-
ly winning 95-85.
Last season, Wilkes endured a
similar loss to the Aggies, only to
bouncebackandget acritical win
at DeSales to help push the team
into the playoffs.
AFreedomConference tourna-
ment berth remains likely for the
Colonels (13-5, 6-2), who remain
tied for first with Eastern (13-6,
6-2).
Right behind both of them is

More than half of the Valley
West teamand head coach Steve
Barber were in attendance
watching the action.
“High school wrestlers, you
don’t know day to day, they
could come in with their minds
set or they could be on and off.
Tonight, we wrestled like
Coughlin should be wrestling,”
Stahl said. “Tonight was a great
night. Not only for our kids. Our
fans, we had great fans here and
they did their job.”
For the biggest dual of the year
so far, Stahl went to football and
baseball standout Joey Parsnik
to spark his team. Parsnik, who
won the WVC title last year be-
fore losing out on the postsea-
son due to an injury, was given
time off to begin the wrestling
season.
Parsnik, who has been in the
wrestling room for about a
month, wrestled his first match
of the season Tuesday, stunning
Patriots coach James Woodall.
He then went out and pinned
Pat Nallininthe182-poundbout
in the seventh match of the
night in a crucial swing.
“We wanted to give him a big
rest after football,” Stahl said.
“I was surprised when I saw
him weigh in, but I thought
since he weighed in they were
going to send him out there,”
Woodall said. “But I still wasn’t
100 percent sure.”
Another critical bout came at
145. Woodall bumped Kevin We-
solowski away from Frankie
Mahmoudat138sohe couldface
Dom Gulius in the dual’s third
match. With the score tied 6-6 af-
ter falls from the Patriots’ Brad
Rush (132) and Mahmoud (138),
Gulius went out and pinned We-
solowski inthe first periodfor an
early 12-6 lead for Coughlin.
“Wesolowski was giving up a
lot of weight and we thought
that was the better matchup
than against Frank Mahmoud –
which is a classic matchup be-
cause they’ve wrestled so much
– but we bumped him up and it
didn’t work out for us very well,”
Woodall said. “All-in-all it was a
great match and Coughlin did
everything right to win that
match.”
Back-to-back victories at 152
and 160 by Angelo Lussi (tech-
nical fall) and Frank Ardo (deci-
sion) gave Pittston Area a 14-12
advantage. But that was the last
time the Patriots would lead in
the contest. Ardo’s win was the
most exciting of the night in a
back-and-forth bout with Troy
Vannucchi. Vannucchi tooka 5-3
lead after a takedown with 49
seconds left in the third period.
Ardo managed an escape with10
ticks left and notched a take-
down with 2 seconds remaining
for the victory.
After Ardo’s thrilling win, the
Crusaders won five of the next
eight bouts to secure the victory.
Billy Poray’s tech fall at 113 with
two matches left put the score
out of reach in Coughlin’s favor
at 35-21.

hands of the Grenadiers. Instead
of trying to slow down the tem-
po, the Black Knights went
along for the ride. The result
was some easy baskets and a
12-3 GAR run that led to a 32-20
halftime advantage.
“We’ve won some big games
this year, we’ve beaten some
good teams,” said Lehman
coach Brian Cutter, whose team
had its four-game winning
streak snapped. “That’s the big-
gest problem; we don’t always
keep our head and stick to the
game plan. If we would have
done what we did in the first
quarter, we would have been
fine.”
Lehman’s deliberate pace led
to an 11-10 lead after the initial
eight minutes. The final two
Lehman points came when
guard Kevin Bohan stumbled
through his dribble and man-
aged to push a pass to Jared
James inside.
But once GAR started rolling
in the second, the momentum
carried into the third quarter.
“Once we realized where we
had to be on the floor against
the gimmick (defense), we
started putting points up,” GAR
coach Paul Brown said. “They
were trying to take Darrell out
of the game, obviously. The
problemis we have a couple oth-
er people who can score besides
Darrell.”
Matt Sharpe, Crawford’s back-
court mate, added 12 and for-
wardShaliek Powell tossedin11.

their football skills – GAR’s 6-

Skrepenak and Lehman’s 6-6,

Borum had 13 points, a team

the rebound battle 7-5.

rie Fine. Davis said players joked
about it and it seemed to be an
openly known fact that Laurie
Fine had sex with basketball play-
ers. A lawyer for Laurie Fine said
the accusations were “disgust-
ing.”
After Davis and his step-broth-
er, Mike Lang, accused Bernie
Fineof molestingthemwhenthey
were boys, Boeheim vehemently
defended his longtime friend and
assistant coach. He said Davis
was lyingtocashinonthe publici-
ty generated by a sexual abuse
scandal unfolding at Penn State
University. The Hall of Fame
coach later backed off, saying he
based his defense on loyalty and
two previous claims of abuse
against Fine that authorities
could not substantiate.
Boeheim apologized after a
third accuser came forward at the
end of November and a years-old
audiotape surfaced of a phone
conversation between Davis and
Laurie Fine that some have inter-
pretedas Fine acknowledging Da-
vis was abused by her husband.
In December, Davis and Lang
filed a slander suit in state court.
The affidavit filedMondayrepeat-
edly makes the point that Davis
believes Boeheimknewor should
haveknownwhat his players were
up to. He also believes Boeheim
should have backed his accusa-
tions.
“He knew or purposefully
chose toignore Fine andhis wife’s
behavior,” Davis said in the affida-
vit. “He had every reason to know
that I was telling the truth, but he
instead lashed out at me and
called me and my brother liars.”
A lawyer for Boeheim did not
return calls seeking comment.
Kevin Quinn, a spokesman for
the university said: “We will re-
spond to the plaintiffs’ lawsuit
and their various allegations at
the appropriate time.”
The court document also says
Davis spoke directly to Bernie
Fine about his wife’s sexual rela-
tionships with players and that
“Bernie Fine did not react in the
slightest.”

choice. We just want guys
who want to be here. And we
have a very good class coming
in.”
Recruits who had been ea-
ger to join the Lions, even try-
ing to recruit other top play-
ers to Penn State, found them-
selves looking elsewhere after
allegations of sexual abuse hit
the university and Joe Pater-
no was fired.
All but two members of Pa-
terno’s former staff also de-
parted after O’Brien was ap-
pointed two months later.
Four of Penn State’s top tar-
gets from the fall – OL Joey
O’Connor, DB Armani
Reeves, DL Tommy Schutt
and LB Camren Williams –
are all expected to sign today
with the Buckeyes.
They will likely be joined in
Columbus by Harrisburg-area
defensive end Noah Spence,
who is one of the highest
rated players at any position
in the country. Spence never
committed to Penn State but
was widely considered a fa-
vorite to land with the Lions
before the scandal broke.
Two other former Penn
State recruits – TE J.P. Holtz
(Pitt) and QB Skyler Morn-
hinweg (Florida) – will also
be headed elsewhere.
As a result, O’Brien and his
new staff have had to scram-
ble to round out the class,
adding eight new names since
taking over in early January.
QB Steven Bench, DB
Da’Quan Davis, OL Wendy
Laurent, DB Jordan Lucas,
RB Akeel Lynch, DL Evan
Schwan, WR Jonathan War-
ner and DB Trevor Williams
have all come aboard in the
past month.
And Penn State still had to
sell the new program to the
rest of the incoming class, in-
cluding Valley View lineback-
er Nyeem Wartman and re-
ceiver Malik Golden, both of
whom were considering a
switch this past month.
“I’ve had, the staff and my-
self, a very, very positive reac-
tion from prospects and their
families,” O’Brien said. “It’s
been pretty ensuring to see.
O’Brien has been limited in
the recruiting realm since his
hiring. Much of his time has
been tied up with his other
job as offensive coordinator of
the New England Patriots.
He will spend signing day
in Indianapolis as he helps the
Patriots prepare for Sunday’s
Super Bowl XLVI matchup
against the New York Giants.
O’Brien will take over full-
time at Penn State on Monday
after flying back east.
“This is about the Patriots
this week,” O’Brien said Tues-
day at Super Bowl media day.
“I’m thrilled to be the head
coach at Penn State, but I’m
really focused on the Patriots
and trying to do the best we
can to put together a great
game plan on Sunday.
“I’ll get a fax of our signees.
I already have a pretty good
idea of who they’re going to
be. Again, it’s really more
about the Patriots (this week)
and making sure we’re ready
for practice, meetings and
Sunday’s game. So it’s day-to-
day.”

to be there, and it could grow to
something that could prohibit a
broadcaster fromcoming to games.
“It’s really unprecedented.”
It couldactually be a bargain.
TheNewYorkCityBoardof Edu-
cation recently negotiated a deal
with Cablevision, owner of MSG

for the broadcast rights to the city
schools’ home sporting events for a
sum of $500,000 over the next two
years.
“The$25fee, wefeel, isminimal,”
Honeywell said. “But every little bit
helps us. When you take $50 here,
$100 there, $200 … it all adds up.
There’s all kinds of expenses when
you have a game. There are costs
that this couldoffset.

“When we discussed the impact
of televised broadcasts, we reached
a consensus that they cost us about
150 adults,” Honeywell said of foot-
ball. “Looking at $4 per ticket, we
thought that was a fair number.
We’re not trying to gouge anybody.
It’sincumbentonustolookatallrev-

During the football season, there
areat least10outlets handlingradio

many as five televisionoutlets.
But thestrugglesof economically

“I don’t think people are staying
home to listen to games on the ra-
dio,” Doyle said. “You could proba-
bly argue that a televised game, es-
peciallywhentheweatherisinclem-

There has been little made in the
past about rights fees, which are
standard when the postseason be-
gins. A District 2 football playoff

DALLAS – While the Wyom-
ing Valley West boys swim team
was busy turning in four record-
setting performances in a meet
against Dallas, it was the girls
teams that provided the real
excitement of the meet.
Holding a three-point lead
entering the final event, Dallas
needed to prevent Wyoming
Valley West from placing two
relay teams in the top-three of
the 400 freestyle relay. Thanks
to Sarah Fasulka’s effort swim-
ming third leg for her quartet,
the Mountaineers finished
second and third, picking up six
points to secure a 93-92 win
over the Spartans.
“That third leg of the race
was huge for us,” Dallas coach
Romayne Mosier said. “Before
that last race, I told the girls
that we could do this, that we
could still win it if we gave it
our best.”
Fasulka’s decisive effort came
in a contest seemingly made for
such a moment.
The two teams traded the
lead five times during the meet,
neither taking a lead bigger
than five points. Even when the
Spartans managed to finish first
in the final three events, the
Mountaineers scored second-
and third-place points and, in
one instance, did so in record-
setting fashion.
In the 100 backstroke, Dallas’
Kaylin Augustine swam to a
school record of 1:05, finishing
second and earning four of the
eight points scored by the
Mountaineers in the event. The
finish proved a testament to the
squad’s desire to win, no matter
how the points are scored.
“I think they’re going to take
away a lot of confidence from
this,” Mosier said. “I think
they’re going to see that they
can come together as a team
and really accomplish a lot.”
The Wyoming Valley West
boys team didn’t need any
dramatics but certainly enjoyed
a team effort in a 118-67 win.
The Spartans set four pool
records in the victory.
“We’ve been getting the pool
in the morning and again in the
evening,” Wyoming Valley West
coach Frank Tribendis said.
“We’ve been pushing pretty hard
in practice lately so it’s good to
see some results out of it, to see
that extra work paying off.”
Colin Vest scored 329.45
points in diving and Ed Zawat-
ski finished the 50 freestyle in
21.60 seconds to set individual
records. Zawatski led off the
200 medley relay team that also
included Paine Fleisher, Tho-
mas Missal and Cory Himlin
that finished in 1:42.
Missal and Zawatski were
also part of a 400 freestyle relay
team that included Robert
Jacobs and Alex Himlin. They
finished in 3:26 to cap the boys
side of the meet.

Holy Redeemer girls remain perfect
The Times Leader staff
WRIGHT TWP. – Keeping a
streaking shooter off his game is
an art form.
For Crestwood, it was a collec-
tive effort.
The Comets’ stingy defense
kept Pittston Area’s Steve Stravin-
ski – fresh off a 36-point perform-
ance against Tunkhannock on Fri-
day – to12 points en route to a 49-
37 boys basketball victory over
the Patriots.
“I thought we did a good job.
Our perimeter defense played
well,” CrestwoodcoachMarkAth-
erton said. “Stravinski just came
off that big game, too. I thought
John Fazzini did a great job on
him, and the whole team did a
nice job coming off screens and
helping John.”
Crestwood’s defense stymied
the Patriots, holding them score-
less throughthe first four minutes
of the second and third quarters.
Pittston Area scored six points off
two three-pointers in the second
quarter.
“Defenseis what wefeedoff of,”
Atherton said. “Our energy was
pretty good the whole time. You
just try to hope Pittston doesn’t
get runs. They’re an up-and-down
team, andI thought we took away
someof thethingstheyliketodo.”
John Fazzini carried the Come-
ts onbothsides of theball, leading
all scorers with 18 points. Chris
Fazzini chipped in with12 points.
Crestwood broke open a tied
game with a seven-point run to
start the second quarter. Chris
Fazzini capped the quarter with a
floating jumper, followed by a te-
nacious block at the other end of
the court to close the half.
“Our scoring came in pockets,”
Athertonsaid. “Someone like Bra-
dy Gallagher hits a big three, or
Mike Judge had a nice baseline
drive. It kept some nice spacing
for us, though.”
The Comets pulled ahead for
good in the fourth quarter on
points scored off consecutive Pitt-
ston Area charging violations.
Stravinski’s12 points made him
theonlyplayer indoubledigits for
thePatriots. Intotal, PittstonArea
produced a mere 12 field goals.
“I think it was a little bit of a
combination of a lot of things,”
Pittston Area coach Al Kiesinger
said. “They’re very good defen-
sively. I thought we were lethargic
on the offensive end tonight.
“Offensively, I thought we had
some looks. I thought we had too
many looks we passed up, to be
honest with you. But we’re pass-
ing instead of shooting the ball.”
A lackluster offensive output
overshadowed an otherwise
strong defensive performance
that pushed the Patriots’ losing
streak to four consecutive games.
“I thought defensively we did
a nice job, holding them to 49
points,” Kiesinger said. “Most
games you should win if you
could keep the other team to 49
points.”

INDIANAPOLIS — Plotting
how to keep Tom Brady out of
the clutches of the Giants’ fear-
some pass rushers will occupy
most of Bill O’Brien’s waking
hours this week, and who knows
how many of his dreams.
But it’s not his only worry.
The Patriots offensive coor-
dinator will succeed the late Joe
Paterno as coach at Penn State
after the Super Bowl and has
been forced to do most of his
recruiting by long distance and
count on his newly assembled
staff back in State College to
lock up the prospects. Wednes-
day is signing day, when schools
announce their prized recruits.
“I already have a pretty good
idea of who they’re going to be,”
O’Brien said Tuesday, fielding
questions about both his jobs —
somewhat reluctantly — at
Super Bowl media day.
“But right now, it’s really
more about the Patriots and
making sure we’re ready for
today’s practice, tomorrow’s
meetings and Sunday’s game. So
it’s day-to-day. .. Last week was
about Coach Paterno. It was
about his memory and what he
meant to Penn State and to
college football. So it was an
emotional time for me.”
O’Brien kept trying to put off
questions about his next job,
saying what a formidable chal-
lenge he faced in the few days
left at his current one. And his
jaw nearly hit the stadium floor
when a just-arrived reporter
yelled out, “What does it feel
like to be facing the toughest job
in the country come Monday?”
Instead, O’Brien rolled his
eyes, smiled patiently and be-
gan, “Like I said a million times
...”
WELKER’S ‘STACHE
Forget about the amazingly
precise routes he runs and the
diving catches he makes. So
what if he breaks free for long
touchdowns after grabbing
acrobatic receptions? If you
want to know the secret to the
success of Wes Welker and the
New England Patriots, it may be
right under your nose.
Or his.
His good-luck mustache.
“Somebody on Twitter told
me, ‘you know, every time
you’ve gone with the mustache
we haven’t lost a game,’ “ Welk-
er said Tuesday, “And so I was
like, ‘you know what, you’re
right. Time for a playoff ‘stache.’
So this has kind of been the deal
and it’s gotten us to this point so
we got to keep on rocking it.”
Welker said he sported a
mustache for about a month
during the 2007 season. The
Patriots were 18-0 before their
quest for a perfect season ended
with a 17-14 loss to the New
York Giants in the Super Bowl.
NOT JOCK ROCK
To celebrate their touch-
downs at home, the Patriots
have been playing a cover ver-
sion of the song “Rock and Roll
Part II.” Don’t expect to hear it
Sunday at the Super Bowl.
The NFL controls the music
played during the game, accord-
ing to league spokesman Brian
McCarthy, and that song, writ-
ten and recorded by Gary Glit-
ter in 1972, won’t be heard at
the game.
In 2006, the league advised its
teams not to use the Glitter
version after the artist whose
real name is Paul Gadd was
jailed in 2006 for molesting two
girls in Vietnam. Gadd has been
listed as a sex offender since
1999 in Britain.
Some teams also have used a
version of the song by other
artists at their games.

stadium and listen to the inter-
views over a headset.
“We can’t hear all of the ques-
tions, so we have to guess,” said
Lee Clifford, who brought his
sons, 10-year-old Ben and 8-year-
old Nick. “I guess lots of people
can get a pass to a media event.”
Even people who carry their
own disco ball, as the camera
crewfromTelemundo did.
Media day has never been the
stuff of WoodwardandBernstein.
But it’s gone from off-the-wall
to downright goofy in recent
years, the tipping point coming
four years ago when a reporter
fromMexico’sTVAztecashowed
up in a wedding dress from a
slasher movie in hopes of win-
ning TomBrady’s heart.
Imagine asking Vince Lombar-
di if he could name three Kar-
dashians. Gronkowski actually
didpretty well —he got Kimand
Khloe right away, but needed a
few more seconds to come up
with Kourtney. Or getting John
Elway to salsa dance, as New
York Giants receiver Victor Cruz
did with singer Ciara.
There were no brides or pro-
posals for Brady this year, al-
thoughthefashion-consciousQB
did talk about having his nails
painted.
“Theywereprettyeasyonme,”
Brady said when asked what it
was like to growup with three ol-
der sisters. “They dressed me up
a few times in their clothes and
painted my nails once, but it was
nice.”
Most of the players were good
sports about the whole thing,
knowing what they were in for
when they arrived at Lucas Oil
Stadium. Eventhenormallydour
Belichick managed a chuckle or
two.
“It’s kind of catching me off
guard,” Patriots cornerback Ster-
ling Moore said. “I definitely
thought he’d be a little more
strict in his interviews.”
He might have been a little
more cranky if he’d heard Welker
whenthe receiver was askedif he
knewhowtospell Belichick’s last
name.
“Tough one. B-E-L-I-C-H-I,”
Welker said, andthenpaused. “K.
Wait, that right? Is it CK?”
ToldBelichick’s nameendedin
“CK,” Welker smacked his head.
Umenyiora fared better with
the other Elis, naming Plaxico
Burress’ little boy, Elijah. As for
Gronkowski and Madonna, he
wasn’t crazy for that question.
Silly stuff, to be sure. But the
fans lovedeveryminute of it. Par-
ents let their kids skip school —
Zane Bishop, a high school se-
nior, had his head buried in a
book during the break, cram-
ming for his AP Government ex-
amWednesday—andthetickets
wereinsuchhighdemandpeople
were actually scalping them.
“It’s such an intimate experi-
ence,” said Nick Lowery, a Patri-
ots fan who drove from Colum-
bia, Mo. “This is really cool.”
Unlike the NFL draft, when
rowdy NewYorkers waste no op-
portunitytohecklepicks andboo
players, the fans were on their
best behavior. Most in the crowd
of 7,300 were Colts fans, with
many sporting Peyton Man-
ning’s No. 18 jersey. But the fans
greeted both teams with ap-
plause when they came in, and
cheered when Eli Manning, Bra-
dy and Welker talked about how
much they were enjoying Indi-
anapolis and praised Colts fans.
They even set aside their ha-
tred for the Patriots, the Colts’
biggest rival.
“Our philosophy has been
‘Fans first.’ It’s all about Hoosier
hospitality,” said Toni Meyer of
Indianapolis.
Added Bill Burns, “The Patri-
ots, we really don’t like ‘emhere.
But there hasn’t been any ani-
mosity.”

CLEVELAND — The Indians
haveaddedanMVPtotheirroster,
anda possible replacement at first
base.
Cleveland acquired versatile
Russ Canzler, a Hazleton native
and the top player in the Interna-
tional Leaguelast season, onTues-
day from the
Tampa Bay
Rays for cash.
The 25-year-
old Canzler
playedfourposi-
tions — right
and left field,
third and first
base —last sea-
son for Triple-A Durham, where
he batted .314 with18 homers and
83RBIs in131games for the Bulls.
Canzler madehis major leaguede-
but for the Rays on Sept. 11 and
had one hit in three games.
He was expected to be on Tam-
paBay’s roster this season, howev-
er, theclubre-signedfirst baseman
Carlos Pena and free agent infiel-
der Jeff Keppinger, making Can-
zler the odd man out. The Rays
designated him for assignment
last week after signing Keppinger.
Canzler led the International
League in doubles (40) and slug-
ging percentage (.530), finished
second in runs (78) and third in
hits (149). He appeared in 41
gamesinright field, 33inleft, 40at
third base and17 at first.
Hecouldbeanansweratfirstfor
theIndians, whohavebeendeeply
disappointed in Matt LaPorta.
The two may compete for the
startingjobat first this spring, and
Canzler’s versatility could help
him win a utility spot with Cleve-
land.
Canzler was drafted by the Chi-
cago Cubs in 2004 and signed as a
minor league free agent by Tampa
Bay before last season.

LAGUNA NIGUEL, Calif. —
Southern California authorities
are investigating the theft of
sports memorabilia and jewelry
from the home of former foot-
ball star John Cappelletti, the
1973 Heisman Trophy winner
from Penn State.
Orange County sheriff’s
spokesman Jim Amormino said
Tuesday that the burglary oc-
curred on or around Jan. 20 at
Cappelletti’s home in Laguna
Niguel.
Amormino says he cannot say
specificallywhat items weretak-
en but they do relate to Cappel-
letti’s playing days at Penn State
and NFL years with the Los An-
geles Rams and the San Diego
Chargers.
The spokesman says Cappel-
letti released a statement de-
scribing some of the items as ir-
replaceableandsayinghewould
consider offering a reward for
their return.
Burglaries are not common in
Laguna Niguel, an upscale com-
munity about 50 miles south-
east of Los Angeles.

NEW YORK — Carmelo
Anthony scored 25 points in
his return to the lineup, Lan-
dry Fields added 16 of his 18 in
a flawless first half, and the
New York Knicks snapped a
three-game losing streak with
a 113-86 victory over the De-
troit Pistons on Tuesday
night.
Tyson Chandler had 17
points and Amare Stoudemire
15 for the Knicks, whose slum-
bering offense awoke in just
their second victory in 11
games. They shot 60 percent
from the field — amazingly
the first time they bettered 50
percent all season — and fell
just a point short of matching
their highest-scoring effort.
Pacers 106, Nets 99
INDIANAPOLIS — Paul
George scored a career-high 24
points to lead the Indiana
Pacers in a win over the New
Jersey Nets.
Danny Granger had 21
points and seven rebounds
and Roy Hibbert had 18 points
and 14 rebounds for the Pac-
ers, who went on a 12-0 run
midway through the third
quarter and eventually led by
as much as 18 in the fourth.
George, who shot 8 of 11 in
this one, scored 21 points to
lead the Pacers to a 108-94 win
against the Nets on Jan. 2.
Celtics 93, Cavaliers 90
CLEVELAND — Paul Pierce
scored 20 points, Ray Allen
had 12 in the third quarter and
the Boston Celtics avenged a
disappointing loss to Cleve-
land two days ago by barely
holding off the Cavaliers.
The Celtics, who blew an
11-point lead at home Sunday
in the final four minutes and
lost by one, led by 22 late in
the third quarter.
Hawks 100, Raptors 77
TORONTO — Joe Johnson
needed just three quarters to
match his season high with 30
points, Tracy McGrady scored
15 against his former team and
the Atlanta Hawks recorded
their sixth consecutive victory
over the Raptors, beating
Toronto.
Atlanta’s leading scorer,
Johnson has averaged 30
points in his past four games
against Toronto.

STATE COLLEGE — Jordan
Taylor scored 18 points, in-
cluding a key 3-pointer from
the top of key with 1:44 left, to
help No. 19 Wisconsin hold off
Penn State 52-46 on Tuesday
night for its sixth straight victo-
ry.
Taylor made six free throws
over the final minute, helping
the Badgers (18-5, 7-3 Big Ten)
overcome an early nine-point
deficit.
Trailing 40-38, Penn State
(10-13, 2-8) missed on three
tries to tie or take the lead. Jon
Graham missed two foul shots
before Jermaine Marshall mis-
fired on a 3 and missed a layup
after grabbing his own re-
bound.
Penn State coach Patrick
Chambers wore jet-black Nike
sneakers on the sideline, sport-
ing a look like late Hall of Fame
football coach Joe Paterno.
Illinois 42,
No. 9 Michigan St. 41
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Bran-
don Paul shook off a poor-
shooting game to score 18
points, including two free
throws with 45 seconds left
that gave Illinois the lead in a
victory over No. 9 Michigan
State.
Paul had two chances to
extend the lead for the Illini
(16-6, 5-4 Big Ten) but he mis-
sed the front end of 1-and-1s
with 26 seconds and 11 seconds
to play.
No. 1 Kentucky 69,
Tennessee 44
LEXINGTON, Ky. — Fresh-
man Anthony Davis had 18
points, eight rebounds and
seven blocked shots as top-
ranked Kentucky beat Ten-
nessee to extend the Wildcats’
home winning streak to 48
games.
Kentucky (22-1, 8-0 South-
eastern Conference) got off to a
sizzling start by hitting its first
11 shots over the opening 11
minutes as the Wildcats won
their 14th straight overall in
another dominating perform-
ance.
No. 15 Marquette 66,
Seton Hall 59
MILWAUKEE — Jae Crowd-
er had 20 points and 12 re-
bounds, helping No. 15 Mar-
quette rally from a sluggish first
half to beat Seton Hall.
Vander Blue scored 16 points
and Darius Johnson-Odom
added 14 for the Golden Eagles
(19-4, 8-2 Big East), who ex-
tended their winning streak to
seven games.
No. 16 Virginia 65,
Clemson 61
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. —
Mike Scott scored 23 points,
including four free throws over
the final 16.8 seconds, and had
10 rebounds as No. 16 Virginia
rallied and then hung on to
beat Clemson.
Joe Harris added 19 points
for Virginia (18-3, 5-2 Atlantic
Coast Conference), which used
a 19-3 second-half run to take
command. The Cavaliers reac-
hed 18 victories before the end
of January for the first time
since 1981-82.

Stocks get off to hot start
In what was mostly a slow and stea-
dy climb, the Dow Jones industrial
average rose 3.4 percent in January and
the Standard & Poor’s 500 gained 4.4
percent, the best performances for both
indexes to open a year since 1997. The
Nasdaq gained 8 percent for the
month, its best January since 2001.
Investors were encouraged by mod-
est improvement in the U.S. economy,
including the lowest unemployment
rate in almost three years.
An unexpected drop in consumer
confidence dragged stocks down slight-
ly on the final day of the month.
Airline pensions at risk
The federal pension-insurance agen-
cy filed $91 million in liens against
American Airlines property in a bid to
pressure the company to save its retire-
ment plans instead of dumping the
obligations on the agency.
The agency said Tuesday it was
forced to file liens when American,
which filed for bankruptcy protection
in November, paid only $6.5 million of
a required contribution of nearly $100
million toward its pension plans last
week.
American’s pension plans cover
about 130,000 employees and retirees.
Pfizer profit falls by half
Pfizer Inc.’s fourth-quarter profit fell
by half because it sold less Lipitor, the
cholesterol fighter that’s the biggest
drug ever to go off patent, and took
some one-time charges.
The landing was softened by cuts in
its sales force and other costs, but the
drugmaker on Tuesday lowered its
2012 forecast due to the strengthening
dollar and bigger-than-expected price
cuts in two emerging markets, China
and Turkey.
Generic competition to about a doz-
en drugs reduced revenue 4 percent to
$16.75 billion, from $17.35 billion.
European jobless rate up
Unemployment across the 17 coun-
tries that use the euro ended 2011 at a
record high, official figures showed
Tuesday, a day after EU leaders ac-
knowledged they would have to boost
economic growth with the same urgen-
cy that they had shown in combating
their nations’ debts.
Eurostat, the EU’s statistics office,
said the 10.4 percent unemployment
rate in December was unchanged at its
highest level since the euro was
launched in 1999.

WASHINGTON — U.S.
home prices fell for a third
straight month in nearly all ci-
ties tracked by a major index.
Prices dropped in Novem-
ber from October in 19 of the
20 cities tracked, according to
the Standard & Poor’s/Case-
Shiller home-price index re-
leased Tuesday. The steepest
declines were in Atlanta, Chi-
cago and Detroit. Phoenix
was the only city to show an
increase.
The declines partly reflect
the typical fall slowdownafter
the peak buying season.
Still, prices fell in 18 of the
20 cities in November com-
pared to the same month in
2010. Only Washington and
Detroit posted year-over-year
increases.
Prices in Atlanta, Las Ve-
gas, Seattle and Tampa drop-
ped to their lowest points
since the housing crisis be-
gan. And prices have fallen 33
percent nationwide since the
housing bust, to 2003 levels.
The Case-Shiller index cov-
ers half of all U.S. homes. It
measures prices compared
with those in January 2000
and creates a three-month
moving average. The Novem-
ber data are the latest availa-
ble.
Home prices tend to follow
sales, which are still below
healthy levels. And a large
number of vacant homes are
sitting idle on the market,
which means prices will likely
stay unchanged for several
years, said Paul Dales, at Cap-
ital Economics.
Dales said prices might not
rise consistently until 2015.
He said lower unemployment
and better pay raises are es-
sential to a full housing re-
bound.
Conditions are improving
for those in position to buy a
home. Jobgrowthis up, prices
are down, mortgage rates are
at record lows and rental pric-
es have risensharply since the
housing bust.

EW YORK — The frightful imag-
es of a sinking Italian cruise ship
have scared off some cruise pas-
sengers, at least temporarily, during the
industry’s peak booking season.
Travel agents — who book more than
two-thirds of cruise passengers world-
wide — have been nervously watching
bookings ever since the Costa Concor-
dia, which is owned by Carnival Corp,
ran aground on Jan. 13.
On Monday, they got a new reason to
be nervous: bookings fell significantly
for Miami-based Carnival Corp. after the
Costa accident. Attentionis nowfocused
on Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., which
reports earnings on Thursday. An in-
crease there could show that passengers
are fleeing Carnival over safety fears. A
decrease could indicate an overall dis-
trust of all cruise lines.
Nearly 11 million Americans took a
cruise last year, generating an estimated
$14.5 billion in revenue for the industry,
according to PhoCusWright, a travel re-
search firm. Like the rest of the travel in-
dustry, cruise lines are still recovering
fromthe Great Recession. 2012 was sup-
posed to be a year of moderate growth.
Carnival won’t say exactly how much
bookings have dropped, but it disclosed
Monday that in the12 days following the
Concordia capsizing there was a percent
decline “in the mid-teens compared to
the prior year.” Reservations hit a lowon
Jan. 16, the company said in its annual
report filed with the Securities and Ex-
change Commission.
Europeans, who have been bombard-
ed with daily reports of the accident,
have been particularly skittish. They ac-
counted for about 38 percent of Carni-
val’s revenues last year.
Jaime Katz, an analyst at Morningstar,
noted there were big discounts on some
seven-day cruises out of Rome while oth-
er trips had raised prices.
Discounts depend on which company
is operating the ship and where it is trav-
eling. Katz added that first-time cruisers
might also be more hesitant to book.
A major unnamed online travel agent
has also seen cruise call volume fall 30
percent, Barclay’s analyst Felicia R. Hen-
drix wrote in a note to investors.
She also noted cancellations in the
U.S. are up 10 to 15 percent. That’s be-
cause savvy travelers are backing out of
trips now in anticipation of getting the
same cruise later for less.

The grounded cruise ship Costa Concordia lies on its side off the Tuscan island of Giglio, Italy. Costa Crociere SpA offered
uninjured passengers $14,460 each to compensate them for lost baggage and the psychological trauma they suffered
after their cruise ship ran aground and capsized.

replaces Ron
Johnson, who
left the world’s
most valuable technology com-
pany last year to become CEO of
JC Penney.
Browett, who had been CEOof
Dixons Retail since 2007, will
leadApple’s 361-store business as
it builds more sites outside the
United States Of the company’s
40 newlocations this year, 30 will
be abroad. Apple is using the
stores tofuel anexpansioninChi-
na, where outlets in Shanghai,
Beijing and Hong Kong are
among the company’s most traf-
ficked locations.
"It’s not surprising that they
found someone from outside the
U.S., given that they’re going for
quite significant growth in Eu-
rope and Asia-Pacific," said
James Cordwell, an analyst at At-
lantic Equities Service in Lon-
don.
Apple, which opened its first
retail outlets more than a decade
ago, now generates more sales
per square foot than luxury
chains such as Tiffany &Co. The
stores had $6.1 billion in sales in
the quarter ended Dec. 31, up 59
percent from the year-earlier pe-
riod.
Part of Apple’s strategy in ex-
panding outside the U.S. will be
to keep putting stores in heavily
trafficked areas, even if it means
paying the highest real-estate
prices. Its stores on Fifth Avenue
in New York, near the Louvre in
Paris and on Regent Street in
London attract hundreds of peo-
ple who line up for introductions
of new iPads or iPhones.
Store traffic reached 110 mil-
lion visitors in the holiday period
-- almost equivalent to the pop-
ulation of Mexico.

The mild
temperatures
will continue
today, but there
is a chance for a
passing rain
shower this
morning. A cold
front is moving
across
Pennsylvania
this morning,
producing
some rain
showers but
nothing heavy.
High tempera-
tures this
afternoon will
once again climb
into the 50s. The
clouds will clear
out behind the
front later
today, affording
us some
afternoon
sunshine.
Slighty colder
air moves in
tonight and
some flurries are
possible. You can
expect above
normal
temperatures
the rest of the
week.
- Kurt Aaron
NATIONAL FORECAST: Showers and thunderstorms will be likely over the lower Mississippi Valley.
Showers will extend northward into the Northeast. A few snow showers will fall in the colder air over
northern New England. Rain and snow will fall across the Pacific Northwest and eastward to the
northern Rockies. High pressure will rule over the nation’s midsection.

WHETHER YOU’RE
rooting for the New
York Giants or the New
England Patriots, this
weekend’s Super Bowl
could be a good excuse
to cheat on your New
Year’s resolution.
You can enjoy many delicious party
flavors with friends and family, such as
traditional chicken wings, pizza or chips
and dip.
I chose a personal favorite recipe of
mine because of the flavor and ease of
preparation.
Although this recipe is not light on
calories, it does boast high protein and
mixes well with some adult beverages.
More important, if you choose to order
delivery, it’s a snack sure to entertain
guests until your long-awaited food
arrives.
•••
CHICKEN CHEESE DIP
3 cans chicken, 10 ounces each, or chick-
en leftovers
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
8 ounces ranch dressing
8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese (sub-
stitute pepper jack cheese for extra
spicy dip)
4 ounces hot sauce of choice
1 bag Tostitos Scoops
Combine ingredients in mixing bowl with
cream cheese softened.
Bake in oven-safe dish with desired quan-
tity for 20 minutes in pre-heated conven-
tional oven at 375° or until firm with light
brown crust on top.
CHEF’S CORNER

In this dip, protein may offset caloric penalties
PETE G. WILCOX/THE TIMES LEADER
Maybe the protein in this chicken
cheese dip will justify departing
from your New Year’s resolutions in
time to enjoy it on Super Bowl week-
end. Chef Thomas Cook prepared
this at the Ramada Inn. Scoop chips
are his serving suggestion.
Editor’s note: If you are a chef who would like
to contribute a recipe to Chef’s Corner, contact
[email protected] or 570-829-7283.
You can reduce it further by substituting non-
fat Greek-style yogurt in place of sour cream.
Spinach Avocado Dip calls for nonfat plain
Greek-style yogurt. It’s pureed with ripe avoca-
dos and mixed with a sauteed spinach mixture,
making a creamy and slightly tangy dip.
For an appetizers spread, it’s nice to have a
selection of warm, cold, savory and spicy dips,
plus plenty of options for dipping, including
vegetables, baked pita chips and crackers.
Jim Bologna, executive chef at the Townsend
Hotel in Michigan, offers an idea for an easy
Chickpea Aioli Dip, a cross between hummus
and aioli: Mash cooked chickpeas in a blender
until smooth with olive oil, lemon juice, salt and
pepper, Dijon mustard, roasted garlic and mint.
If the mixture is too thick, add more olive oil.
“This works great as a veggie dip served with
pita bread, pita chips or grilled veggies,” he said.

H
ave you ever been to a party where dips weren’t served? Me, neither.
They’re mainstays at gatherings, and they’ve come a long way from the
days of sour cream mixed with packaged soup or salad dressing mixes.
We’re sticking with creamy dips with a few twists. Dips often taste rich be-
cause they’re based on ingredients such as mayonnaise, cream cheese and sour
cream, all of which add fat and calories. Simply substituting reduced-fat versions
can lighten the fat and calorie load considerably.
By SUSAN M. SELASKY Detroit Free Press
The big game on Super Bowl Sunday usually brings with it
big eats.
As a nation, in just one day we consume millions of pounds
of potato chips, tortilla
chips, pretzels, popcorn and
nuts. And don’t even get me
started on the guacamole,
chicken wings, baby-back
ribs, pizza, dips, chili and
subs.
But a few smart choices
canhave youenjoyingSuper
Bowl-style snacks without
doing quite so much dam-
age to your NewYear’s reso-
lutions.
My buffalopopcornchick-
en is a good example. It puts
a delicious, low-calorie spin
on a game-day favorite —
chicken wings. Typical
wings rack up 549 calories
and 30 grams of fat per serv-
ing (you’d have to do the
wave about 2,000 times to
burn those off). My version
has just 264 calories and 14 grams of fat per serving.
Traditionally, chicken wings are deep-fried. Combine that
withthe usual bleu-cheese dipaccompaniment, andyouhave
a caloric nightmare. Mineareservedwithlow-fat bleu-cheese
dressing, and I swear you won’t taste the difference.
To reduce fat and calories, I use my flash-frying method,
which is easy to master.
Game for a lighter snack?

Starting with skinless chicken
thighs, I microwave the thighs
until cooked through. Micro-
waving the chicken first means
it doesn’t need to sit in the oil
for nearly as long. Next, they are
dunked in low-fat egg white,
then dredged through a blend of
whole-wheat flour and corn-
meal.
After that, the frying takes
just 12 seconds.
Traditional methods call for
10 to 15 minutes. By cooking the
chicken before it hits the oil, it
needs little time in the oil. And
that means it absorbs very little
of it.
Nothing goes better with
wings — or in this case, thighs
— than beer. But drink a few
brews, and you’ll have to climb
the stadium steps for an hour to
burn them off. Instead, consider
serving low-calorie beers at your
party. There are some great
ones out there.
As for the rest of your Super
Bowl offerings, don’t be afraid
to serve vegetables and fruit
with low-fat and low-sodium
dips, and other creative low-cal
foods.
With some thoughtful plan-
ning and delicious dishes, you’ll
be sure to score with food and
football fans alike.

BUFFALO-STYLE
POPCORN CHICKEN
Start to finish: 30 minutes
Servings: 4
1 quart grapeseed or corn oil
1 pound boneless, skinless chick-
en thighs
Salt and ground black pepper
2 egg whites
1/4 cup fine ground yellow corn-
meal
3/4 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup Tabasco Buffalo Style Hot
Sauce
1 bunch celery, trimmed and cut
into 4- to 5-inch lengths
1/2 cup low-fat bleu-cheese
dressing
In a large, heavy pot over medi-
um, heat the oil to 400 F. Use a
thermometer to monitor the oil
temperature.
Meanwhile, cut each chicken
thigh into 4 to 5 even chunks.
Season the chunks on all sides with
salt and pepper, then arrange them
on a microwave-safe plate. Micro-
wave on high for 1 1/2 minutes. Flip
the chicken pieces and move those
on the outer edge of the plate to
the center and vice versa.
Microwave on high again until
the chunks are just cooked
through, about another 1 1/2 to 2
minutes depending on your micro-
wave. Let the chicken cool to room
temperature.
While the chicken cools, in a
medium bowl beat the egg whites
until foamy, about two minutes. In
a separate large bowl, mix the
cornmeal and flour, then season
with salt and pepper.
Submerge the cooked chicken
pieces in the egg whites and toss
to coat well, then move the chicken
to the bowl with the cornmeal mix.
Toss the chicken to coat well.
Working in about 4 batches, add
the chicken pieces to the hot oil
and fry for 12 seconds. Use a slot-
ted spoon to transfer the fried
chicken to a plate lined with paper
towels to drain excess oil. While still
hot, place the chicken in a large
bowl, add the buffalo sauce and
toss to coat well.
Serve the chicken with celery
and bleu-cheese dressing for dip-
ping.

HOW TO CONTACT:
Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Ange-
les, CA 90069
For more Sudoku go to www.timesleader.com
O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I am
26 and have been
dating “Mike” for
four years. We met
in our senior year of
college and recently
became engaged. I’m
looking forward to
being married and starting a family,
but there’s one “small” problem. I’m
in love with Mike’s identical twin
brother, “Matt.”
Mike and Matt are identical in
appearance, but Matt is funnier,
more outgoing and affectionate than
my fiance. I didn’t know he existed
until a year ago because they had
a falling out at their high school
graduation and didn’t reconcile until
recently.
When I met Matt, I knew right
away he was the one for me, but I
continued dating Mike because I
didn’t want to ruin his re-established
relationship with his brother. Matt
reciprocates my feelings. He has told
me he’s in love with me and wants to
date me.
I know I shouldn’t have accepted
Mike’s proposal, but I don’t want
to hurt him or start another fight
between him and his twin, but I
also don’t want to be married to the
wrong man for the rest of my life. I’m
unsure what to do. The wedding date
has been set. Help!
— In Love With the Double
Dear In Love: You should have put
the brakes on the relationship with
Mike the minute you realized you
were attracted to Matt. The engage-
ment should be ended immediately.
That you would not only continue
to date Mike but also accept his pro-
posal of marriage knowing you were
more attracted to his twin was cruel.
If Matt starts seeing you after the
breakup, it will probably cause a per-
manent rift between them. It will be
interesting to see what happens when
you become available because with
some people the “apple” that’s just
out of reach is the one that’s most en-
ticing — and you may wind up mar-
ried to neither brother.
Dear Abby: My 4-year-old son made
a snowman in our front yard and then
went inside to take a nap. Our neigh-
bor came over with his son — age 16
— to talk to my husband.
When I brought my 3-year-old
daughter outside to see the snowman
her brother made, I was horrified to
see it was now “anatomically cor-
rect”! I asked my husband who did it,
and he said it was the neighbor’s son.
My husband thought it was funny and
that I was overreacting.
I think the behavior was inappropri-
ate, and the fact that my daughter
saw it and wondered what was
“hanging on the snowman” was no
laughing matter. If the neighbor
wanted to make an X-rated snowman,
he should have made it in his own
front yard. Do you think I’m being too
sensitive?
— Fails to See the Humor
Dear Fails To See The Humor: Yes,
I do. While I agree the neighbor boy’s
“artistic endeavor” was in poor taste,
it provided an opportunity to answer
your daughter’s question in a matter-
of-fact way and explain there are ana-
tomical differences between boys and
girls. You could also have explained
that private parts are not supposed
to be displayed in public, and asked
your husband to remove them. Seeing
the snowman would not traumatize
your daughter as much as seeing you
shocked and upset.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Woman in love with fiance’s identical twin is now in double trouble
To receive a collection of Abby’s most memo-
rable — and most frequently requested — po-
ems and essays, send a business-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 Mor-
ris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are
competent and focused. Those
who are less structured will be
attracted to you as they believe,
on some level, that you will help
them rein in their scattered ener-
gy and accomplish something of
meaning.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You
are independent and self-moti-
vated. Still, you’ll do your best
work when you’re accountable
to somebody for it. Tell someone
you admire what you’re up to.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re
open-minded and will therefore
pick up some helpful tips and
shortcuts from sharing individu-
als. For instance, someone’s pro-
ductivity method may work for
you. Try it out and see.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your
assumptions are what make
things so. The rules are not as
concrete as they seem. Poke
around, and you may discover
they are rubbery enough to
bend or brittle enough to break
through with minimal effort.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You cher-
ish your privacy. However, avoid
seeming closed off and aloof to
loved ones. You’ll benefit from
an open communication policy.
Encourage their questions.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll
finish up what you started and
look for the next project wor-
thy of your time and attention.
There are sure benefits to being
slow to decide.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have
a plan, but you’re also willing to
toss it for something better. An
open mind will be essential as
you’ll get the most out of this
day by being ready to entertain.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll
make some quick decisions and
set new priorities. A loved one
can’t keep up with you but would
like to at least know more about
what you’re doing.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
You’ve been playing it a lot safer
than usual, perhaps because you
realize the stakes are high. Not
taking a risk is dangerous, too
— maybe more dangerous than
taking one.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
When you look on a person with
tenderness day after day, the
affectionate connection becomes
a habit, the habit becomes a
bond and the bond becomes part
of who you are.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
You’re still holding on to some-
one’s wrongdoing against you.
There are so many benefits to
forgiving this person that for-
giveness would almost be an act
of selfishness. So, what are you
waiting for?
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Everyone must agree on some
aspect of reality for things to
move forward. Telling the truth
promotes health in bodies, rela-
tionships and organizations.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 1). New
habits you form over the next
10 weeks help you to balance
your emotions and set burdens
free. You’ll be a stellar example
for loved ones as you create
relationship success wherever
you go. Financial opportunities
in March provide a boost that
helps you go into a new interest
or business this summer. Cancer
and Virgo adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 7, 21, 3, 28 and 18.
