John Hynes couldn’t put his
finger on a single reason to
explain Monday’s 2-1 loss to
the Albany Devils.
Instead, he
listed sever-

“Our

one-on-one
battles and our willingness to
compete at a high level was
not there in the first two
periods,” Hynes said.
Those missing elements
resulted in the Penguins
being outshot 20-13 and down
1-0 after 40 minutes.

DALLAS – Marianne Cleary never
liked war.
Since Dec. 20, 2005, she has de-
spised it even more.
That’s when her son, 1st Lt. Mi-
chael Cleary, 24, was killed in Iraq.
Today is the sixth anniversary of Mi-
chael Cleary’s death.
A platoon leader in the 3rd Infantry
Division, Cleary led his unit to a
bomb factory near Samarra, Iraq. The
unit destroyed the factory and was
returning from its mission when it
was ambushed by insurgent forces. A
roadside bomb was detonated. Cleary
died as a passenger in a transport
vehicle just 10 days shy of his return
home.
The day before his death, his fian-
cée, Erin Kavanagh of Dallas, had her
bridal shower.
While happy for the soldiers return-
ing from Iraq and for their families,
Marianne Cleary and her husband,
Jack, a Vietnam veteran, have been
permanently scarred by the war that
claimed their son’s life.
Life, as Marianne says, “is different;
a new normal.”
“I think of life in two ways,” she
said. “Life when Mikey was alive, and
life after he was killed.”
The Clearys, both 65, have four
other children – Erin, 42, Shannon,
41, Kelly, 37, and Patrick, 34 -- and
four grandchildren.
“We lean on each other as a family,”
Jack Cleary said. “We try to make life
U.S. TROOPS LEAVE IRAQ: Across America,

people. But many others, like the Cleary family of
Dallas, have suffered a loss that can’t be healed.

WASHINGTON — Partisan to the core, Con-
gress careened toward a holiday-season standoff
Mondayonlegislationtoprevent a Social Securi-
ty payroll tax increase for 160 million workers on
Jan. 1.
“It’s time to stop the nonsense. We can resolve
these differences and we can do it in a way that
provides certainty for job creators and others,”
said Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. A vote was
set for today for the House to reject a bipartisan
two-month extension that cleared the Senate
over the weekend and seek negotiations on a bill
to renew the cuts through 2012.
In an acid response, Senate Majority Leader
Harry Reid accused Boehner of risking a tax in-
crease for millions “just because a few angry tea
partyers raised their voices.” The Nevada Demo-
crat ruled out new negotiations until the two-
month measure is enacted.

EAST SIDE BORO. – Thirty-
five years ago today, a 14-year-old
boyplayingalongthe shore of the
Lehigh River made a horrific dis-
covery of a woman’s body, dis-
membered and packed into three
suitcases scattered across the
bank of the river.
The woman – who was in her
third trimester of pregnancy
ready to give birth to a girl -- has
never been identified. She is still
known as Beth Doe by state po-
lice investigators. “Until we iden-
tify who she is, the case can’t be
solved,” said state police Cpl.
Thomas McAn-
drew.
State police
believe the suit-
cases were
thrown from
the westbound
Interstate 80
bridge that
spans the river 150 feet below. In-
stead of hitting the water and be-
ing carried away by the current,
the suitcases landed on the shore
in Carbon County, just across the
border from White Haven, Lu-
zerne County.
The impact of the fall broke
open two suitcases, exposing the
woman’s head, torso and fetus.
The third suitcase contained the
woman’s arms and legs.
Her nose and ears had been re-
moved from her head.
An autopsy revealed she was
strangled and shot in the back of
the neck, and had been dead less
than 24 hours from the time the
body was found at about 4:30
p.m. Dec. 20, 1976. She was dis-
membered with a fine, serrated
tool.
The forensic pathologist deter-
mined the woman to be Cauca-
sian of possibly Mediterranean

HARRISBURG – No player
matched all five winning
numbers drawn in Monday’s
“Pennsylvania Cash 5” game
so the jackpot will be worth
$225,000.
Lottery officials said 63
players matched four num-
bers and won $231 each;
2,074 players matched three
numbers and won $11.50
each; and 24,592 players

EXETER -- A vote to replace
the longtime solicitor to the
Wyoming Area School District
brought multiple counter mo-
tions and numerous audience
questions Monday night as the
boardheldits first regular month-
ly meeting since four new board
members were electedinNovem-
ber.
One of the board’s first actions
was to replace Ray Hassey, who
has served as the district’s solic-
itor for 12 years. As soon as a mo-
tion was made to appoint Jarrett
Ferentino as solicitor, board
member Gil Dominick countered
with a motion to reappoint Has-
sey. That motion failed 4-5, with
Dominick, John Bolin, John Mar-
ianacci and Deanna Farrell cast-
ing the yes votes and board Presi-
dent Frank Casarella, Vice Presi-
dent Estelle Campenni, Carl Yori-
na, Elizabeth Gober-Mangan and
Mary Louise Degnan opposing.
A succession of other motions
followed, including one to ap-
point Hassey’s associate Mike
Butera and another to table the
motiontohireasolicitor until the
position could be advertised.
That last motionendedina dead-
lockedvoted, withDominick, Bo-
lin, Marianacci and Farrell voting
to table; Casarella, Campenni,
Gober-ManganandYorina voting
against that, andDegnanabstain-
ing because she needed more
time to think about it.
Casarella then called for an ex-
ecutive session, and when the
board returned about 15 minutes
later, Gober-Mangan made a mo-
tion not to table the vote. That
motion passed 5-4 with Degnan
now voting in favor of filling the
position. Avote was finally taken
on appointing Ferentino that
passed 6-3, with Bolin, Dominick
and Marianacci opposing.
Board members who favored
retaining Hassey cited his long
record of service to the district
and that he is a district resident
and taxpayer, unlike Ferentino.
Audience members also spoke in
favor of Hassey and questioned
the move, asking why Hassey
was replaced.
“I was raised that if something
isn’t broke, you don’t touch it,”
said Wyoming resident Carol De-
Salvo. She said after reading a
Pittston Dispatch article, she
looked into Hassey’s record and
was “appalled” and “disappoint-
ed” by the
board’s action
to replace him.
Hassey was
not present at
the meeting,
but in an earlier
interview he
took issue with
thewaythecan-
didates were se-
lected.
“They inter-
viewed 11 or 12
handpicked
candidates and
they set up an
elaborate inter-
view process,
but the process didn’t live up to
the transparency they promised,”
Hassey said.
Casarella said at the meeting
that board members were asked
to submit names of attorneys
they knew who might be good
candidates for the position, and
acknowledged that he is “good
friends” with Ferentino.
All the candidates were inter-
viewed by four board members
using the same eight questions,
and the final three candidates
were so close they were brought
back for a second interviewby all
board members before the final
decision was made, Casarella
said.
Board members said Hassey
was not one of the final three can-
didates. They also pointed out
that since the solicitor is appoint-
ed, interviews aren’t required but
were done to ensure the best can-
didate was selected.
Ferentino, who is part of the
firmof Pugliese, Finnegan, Shaff-
er and Ferentino, cited his eight
years experience with prosecu-
tion, litigation and the resolution
of state and federal lawsuits and
said he feels very well suited for
the solicitor’s position.
Casarella said the experience
Ferentinobrings will helpthe dis-
trict going forward.
“Ray Hassey did a very good
job, but we’re just looking at a dif-
ferent direction. There’s more to
this than just school lawand hav-
ing a firm like this will help us,”
Casarella said.
A new “tweak” to the hiring
process also raised questions
when it was used for the first
time. In the hiring of new guid-
ance counselor Rob Yatsko, all
candidates were assigned a num-
ber and board members did not
know the name of the candidate
they were selecting until a deci-
sion was made.
Majority board members tout-
ed the new anonymous process
as improving transparency.

On hiring of new
solicitor
NUANGOLA – After a debate
emanating along majority/mi-
nority lines, council voted Mon-
day night to revise downward its
2012 budget from $230,075 to
$182,125, and retain tax rates at
2011 levels.
Amajority led by council Pres-
ident Regina Plodwick and also
consisting of Doug Fawbush,
Ted Vancosky and Conrad Plod-
wick acted, at the recommenda-
tions of Melissa Weber, secreta-
ry-treasurer, to alter a budget
that had been prepared by John
Kochan, chairman of budget and
finance.
At issueis $52,775inwhat was
described as “bridge money”
from a proposed $3 million loan
from the Fulton Bank of Lancas-
ter to the sanitary sewer system
project that is tentatively sched-
uledtostart inthespringof 2012.
Kochan included the funds as
income in preparing his spend-
ing plan. “Sometime in 2012
we’re going to get a windfall,” he
said. “It’s money we’re going to
get.”
Weber, however, had a differ-
ent view, arguing “that’s specula-
tive,” andas such, she, as thebor-
ough’s financial offcer, was being
asked to submit to the state an
unbalanced budget. “Harrisburg
says we have to have a balanced
budget,” she said.
The majority of council, at Re-
gina Plodwick’s lead, proceeded
to make line-item changes that
resulted in a spending plan of
$182,125.
Council unanimously passed
taxrates of 0.444 mills onreal es-
tate, a $52 personal services tax,
a 1 percent real estate transfer
tax and 1/2 percent earned in-
come tax. A mill is $1 in tax for
every $1,000 in assessed valua-
tion.
The debate continued when
RichKresge of Quad3Engineers
of Wilkes-Barre appealed for a
payment of $200,000 fromeither
council or the sewer authority,
the only assurance he received
was that council voted to have
Kochan, as chairman of the au-
thority, conduct a search for a
bank loan or grant money and
submit a report when council re-
organizes in January.
Kresge said his firm has been
doing work for Nuangola since
2009 andit has yet to receive any
payment. In fact, Kresge said
that to proceed with the design
currently in place, Quad 3 faces
the expense of $18,000 in order
to obtain permits from various
government agencies. He sug-
gested the project could be de-
layed if these permits are not ob-
tained.
In conversation about finan-
cial issues, it was noted that the
authority has a fund balance of
only $15.09.

HAZLETON – City Council
on Monday passed on first read-
ing a controversial rental regis-
tration ordinance and adopted
an amended 2012 budget with a
smaller tax increase than the
version passed 12 days earlier.
The version of the $7 million
city budget approved on Dec. 7
would have necessitated a 14
percent property tax increase,
with the tax rate rising from
2.83 mills to 3.23 mills. That
would have equated to another
$20 in property taxes for a
home valued at $50,000, given
that a mill is a $1 tax on every
$1,000 of assessed property val-
ue.
Council members on Monday
rescinded the final votes they
cast Dec. 7 on the budget ordi-
nance and voted 3-2 for a bud-
get with a 9.9-percent property
tax hike, which would tack on
another $14 in property taxes to
a home valued at $50,000.
Council had to raise property
taxes a minimum of 0.18 mills
to cover an increased debt ser-
vice payment necessitated
when they borrowed $5.6 mil-
lion this past summer, with
$2.6 million going to pay over-
due bills and the rest going to
pay off the city’s 2011 tax reve-
nue anticipation note.
Adjustments are made
Reducing the property tax
hike was accomplished by re-
ducing the general budget by
$106,000. The revenue cut
came from adjusting anticipat-
ed real estate taxes by $90,720
and anticipated parking meter
revenue by $15,720.
City Administrator Mary El-
len Lieb said she received a new
total valuation for all properties
in the city from the county, and
that valuation decreased. She
said the city would receive less
parking revenue because of
street construction on Broad
Street.
Most expenditure adjust-
ments – $80,000 – came from
cuts in worker’s compensation
in the police, fire and public
works departments. Another
$10,720 came from false arrest
insurance; the remainder came
from the Engineering Depart-
ment.
Council members Jack Mun-
die and Evelyn Graham voted
against the budget. Mundie
said he appreciated the admin-
istration finding cuts that al-
lowed for the smaller tax in-
crease, but still thought the city
should cut more.
He also had a problem with
the budget failing to reflect all
anticipated revenue and expen-
ditures. For example, the bud-
geted amount for police over-
time did not reflect reimburse-
ments the city receives from
federal programs, nor did the
revenue side of the budget re-
flect receipt of any such reim-
bursements.
Lieb said the amounts zeroed
out, so their absence made no
real difference in the budget.
But Mundie said City Code re-
quires all expenditures and rev-
enues listed in line items, and
the city auditor agreed.
Lieb said future budgets
would reflect that recommen-
dation of the auditor.
Concerns over rentals
The rental registration ordi-
nance, which earlier this year
prompted concerns from land-
lords as well as council mem-
bers, passed unanimously on
the first reading despite a plea
from the president of the local
landlord association to recon-
sider because of potential litiga-
tion.
The ordinance requires own-
ers of rental properties to main-
tain at least $50,000 in liability
insurance and hazard and casu-
alty insurance to either restore
or remove the building in the
event of a fire or other loss; pay
a $100 registration fee per
building; and an annual inspec-
tion fee of $25 per unit.
City Solicitor Chris Slusser
said he was aware of no poten-
tial for litigation arising from
the ordinance.
Council is expected to vote
on the second and third read-
ings at the next meeting on Jan.
3 at 10 a.m.
Hazleton passes new budget
Amended version has smaller
tax increase than original.

Two to be sentenced
Two owners of a Kingston accounting
firm who pleaded guilty to tax evasion
will be sentenced on Jan. 11 in Scranton.
Court papers filed Monday set the sen-
tencing of Jerome Pinkowski and Chris-
topher Wartella at 10 a.m. in the William
J. Nealon Courthouse and Federal Build-
ing.
IRS agents raided the firm in April
2010, and the two signed plea agree-
ments last week to plead guilty to tax
evasion. According to court papers,
Pinkowski admitted he underreported
wages of some employees to avoid pay-
ing employment taxes. Wartella ad-
mitted underreporting personal income.
Pinkowski faces a maximum sentence
of eight years in prison and a $500,000
fine. Wartella faces up to three years and
a $250,000 fine.
WILKES-BARRE
Riccardi request denied
A Luzerne County senior judge on
Monday denied a request by a man
convicted of first-degree murder to have
a new trial or modify his life-long prison
sentence.
Senior Judge Joseph Augello, in a
48-page opinion, denied the several
requests of Elvis Riccardi, 33, of Wilkes-
Barre, convicted of the 2009 beating
death of Donald Skiff, 34, of Plymouth,
and sentenced to life in prison, plus 71
years on additional charges.
In September, Riccardi filed court
papers, asking for a new trial, acquittal
or for his sentence to be reduced.
Riccardi may now appeal his convic-
tion and sentence to the state Superior
Court.

Wanted for questioning in Wyoming CVS
incident.
The number of layoffs neces-
sary under the 2012 Luzerne
County budget proposed by
outgoingcommissioners is sub-
ject to debate.
Commissioner Chairwoman
MaryannePetrillaestimated60
layoffs whenshe was pressedto
provide a number by home rule
consultant Ken Mohr during a
Monday night budget-briefing
session with some members of
the County Council-elect.
But former countybudget/fi-
nance chief Tom Pribula, who
was in the audience, said after
the session that her estimate is
inaccurate because it only fac-
tored in the $3.5 million in cuts
from this year’s $125.2 million
budget to next year’s proposed
$121.7 million budget.
Next year’s budget must also
absorb about $4.2 million in
spending increases for debt re-
payments and costs associated
with workers’ compensation,
for a total $7.7 million hit, Prib-
ula said.
The county uses a $50,000
estimateper employeetocalcu-
late how many workers would
have to be laid off, and it would
amount to about 150 with re-
ductions totaling $7.7 million,
said Pribula, who has applied
for the permanent and interim
county manager and budget/fi-
nance division chief positions
under home rule.
The council-elect will have
until Feb. 15 to exercise an op-
tiontoamendthe budget. Atax
increase would likely be the on-
ly option for the newcouncil to
avoid significant cuts because
commissioners have said
they’ve already scraped togeth-
er all attainable revenue.
Petrilla said during the bud-
get briefing that the number of
layoffs could be reduced by re-
tirements. Three employees
have recently retired, but the
number couldincreasetoabout
10 because “many” others have
been inquiring about retiring,
she said.
Several members of the
council-elect also responded to
a request from row officers and
the public defender to meet af-
ter the commissioner budget
briefing to discuss their con-
cerns about budget cuts, layoffs
and the uncertainty surround-
ing the Jan. 2 switch to home
rule.
The council-elect members
stressed that the manager – in-
terim or permanent – will han-
dle decisions about staffing,
layoffs anddaily operations. Di-
rectives will be passed to en-
sure essential duties are cov-
ered after several elected row
officer posts are eliminated un-
der home rule, they said.
They advised row offices to
come up with suggestions on
how their offices could be
merged and streamlined to
complywiththe newhome rule
structure.
County layoff estimates vary widely
Commissioner says number
could be 60; former official
estimates more like 150.

WAITING FOR TOYS THAT GIVE JOY
PETE G. WILCOX/THE TIMES LEADER
P
eople wait in line Monday to gain access to Our Lady of Hope Church basement
in Wilkes-Barre for the annual toy drive distribution that is organized by Catholic
Social Services. Every year Catholic Social Services teams up with the U.S. Marines’
Toys for Tots program as well as local parishes to collect toys for families in need.
WILKES-BARRE – A wom-
an convicted of cruelty to ani-
mals in a case in which prose-
cutors say she pierced the
ears and docked the tails of
kittens will be allowed to reo-
pen her pet-grooming busi-
ness, a Luzerne County judge
said Monday.
Judge Tina Polachek Gar-
tley said Monday in
court papers that
Holly Crawford, 36,
of Sweet Valley, will
be permitted to reo-
pen her business,
Pawside Parlor, but
that she must follow
specific guidelines
that include random
inspections and
proper licensing re-
quirements.
Crawford had been convict-
ed in February 2010 of one
misdemeanor and one sum-
mary count of cruelty to ani-
mals and was sentenced in
April 2010 to six months
house arrest and 15 months
probation.
In August, she was sen-
tenced to three- to six-
months in jail after a viola-
tion of the terms of her pro-
bation when she was charged
with possession of a con-
trolled substance and drug
paraphernalia in Wyoming
County.
Crawford, who did not re-
turn messages seeking com-
ment Monday, was released
from prison on parole in No-
vember.
Polachek Gartley had or-
dered Crawford’s business to
cease operations at her April
2010 sentencing.
Prosecutors say Crawford
was charged after humane of-
ficers and state police
searched Crawford’s home on
Dec. 17, 2008, and seized
three kittens with ear, neck
and tail piercings. At least
one of the kittens had a ring
on its tail used to prevent
blood flow, causing the tail to
fall off over time.
Crawford then allegedly
tried to sell the kittens on
eBay, advertising them as
“gothic kittens.”
Crawford said at the time
of her sentencing
that she did not
think what she was
doing was a crime,
and that the actions
would never happen
again.
Polachek Gartley
said in court papers
Monday that Craw-
ford’s business must
consist of a waiting
room and one other
room where pet grooming
will take place; that there will
be random inspections by Lu-
zerne County Adult Proba-
tion and Parole; and that if
the department says the
premises are not clean and
appropriate, probation offi-
cers can have the business in-
spected by a veterinarian.
If the probation officers or-
der an evaluation by a veter-
inarian, business will cease
until the evaluation is com-
plete, Polachek Gartley said.
Crawford must also comply
with licensing requirements.
All of the conditions, the
judge said, are part of Craw-
ford’s probation.

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN
Nighttime raid questioned
A
fghan President Hamid Karzai and
NATO officials have clashed once
again on the issue of nighttime raids by
Western forces, this time over one that
left a pregnant Afghan woman dead.
A spokesman for the NATO force,
Brig. Gen. Carsten Jacobson, said Mon-
day that the commander of Western
troops in Afghanistan, U.S. Marine
Gen. John Allen, had met with Karzai
over the weekend to express “deep
condolences” over the woman’s death
in Paktia province.
The precise circumstances of the raid
early Saturday remained unclear.
Afghan officials in Paktia’s provincial
capital, Gardez, said the woman was
killed when U.S. and Afghan forces
entered the home of the provincial
head of counter-narcotics, an official
named Hafizullah, who goes by one
name. He was arrested along with two
of his sons, said Rohullah Samon, a
spokesman for the Paktia governor.
The slain woman was Hafizullah’s
wife, who was eight months’ pregnant,
Samon said, adding that four other
female family members were injured.
WASHINGTON
Crime rates down, FBI says
The FBI said Monday that violent
and property crimes reported to police
continue to drop despite tough eco-
nomic times.
An FBI report states that violent
crimes reported in the first half of 2011
were down 6.4 percent compared to
the first six months of 2010. The num-
ber of property crimes, including bur-
glary, larceny and vehicle theft, de-
creased 3.7 percent.
The report is based on information
from more than 12,500 law enforce-
ment agencies.
NEW YORK
Charges in burning death
A man accused of spraying gasoline
on a 73-year-old woman and setting her
ablaze in an elevator was charged Mon-
day with murder and arson.
Jerome Isaac, 47, was ordered held
without bail in the death of Deloris
Gillespie. His lawyer requested solitary
confinement and medical attention.
Isaac was often seen at Gillespie’s
apartment doing odd jobs, and told
police he set her on fire because she
owed him $2,000, authorities said.
“I know this is the defendant’s first
offense, but the depravity of this partic-
ular single act is beyond my descrip-
tion,” Assistant District Attorney Ken-
neth Taub said.
UNITED NATIONS
Syrian crackdown blasted
The U.N. General Assembly signaled
growing international opposition to
Syria’s crackdown on civilians Monday,
voting overwhelmingly to condemn
human rights violations by President
Bashar Assad’s government and calling
for an immediate end to violence.
The nonbinding resolution, spon-
sored by Britain, France and Germany,
calls on Syrian authorities to imple-
ment an Arab League peace plan. It
urges withdrawing government tanks
from the streets, releasing political
prisoners and allowing the entry of
international observers.
Syria’s U.N. Ambassador Bashar
Ja’afari accused some sponsors of the
resolution of trying “to destroy Syria”
using “military intervention on the
pretext of civilian protection.”

BEIJING — It was the scenario strate-
gists from Beijing to Washington wor-
ried about: Kim Jong Il of North Korea
dies suddenly, before the isolated regime
can complete a transfer of power to his
young son and rejoin disarmament talks
with the U.S.
With news Monday of Kim’s death, the
impoverished country known to be pur-
suing nuclear weapons plunged further
into uncertainty, raising risks for the re-
gion.
Neighbors worry that political maneu-
vering in Pyongyang could spill over into
missile launches or other aggression,
though analysts give such acts a low
probability.
Tens of thousands of American troops
arestationedinSouthKorea andJapanin
this heavily armed, jittery corner of the
world. China wants to keep its socialist
neighbor stable — and avoid a flood of
refugees — but also
free fromAmericanand
South Korean influen-
ce.
“If you asked experts
what could happen to
bring the regime down,
it would be the sudden
death of Kim Jong Il.
That has happened
now,” saidVictor Cha, a
former U.S. National
Security Council direc-
tor for Asian affairs un-
der President George
W. Bush and now a se-
nior adviser at the Cen-
ter for Strategic and In-
ternational Studies, an American think
tank. “We’re potentially at a watershed
moment for the region.”
Its politics opaque in normal times,
Pyongyang is likely to slow decision-
making, upending efforts to restart nu-
clear disarmament talks just as the U.S.
and North Korea seemed on the verge of
resuming them. After months of delicate
discussions, Washington was poised to
announce a donation of food aid this
week followed by an agreement with
Pyongyang to suspend a uraniumenrich-
ment program, people close to the nego-
tiations told The Associated Press.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham
ClintonsaidMonday the UnitedStates is
still looking for better relations with the
North Korean people despite the “evolv-
ing situation” there.
Tentative reforms to build up its list-
less economy and better the lives of
North Koreans — 3 million of whom or
more than 10 percent of the population
are underfed, the U.N. says — may also
be put on hold.
Kim’s deathcaught NorthKorea’s pow-
er brokers at a fragile time, inthe midst of
grooming his youngest son, Kim Jong
Un, whois inhis late 20s, tosucceedhim.
Though the elder Kim had a stroke in
2008, hastening plans to finda successor,
his health had seemingly improved, al-
lowing him to travel more frequently, re-
sume a more public role andprepare for a
longer power transition like the two-dec-
ade-long one he enjoyed under his father.
The two-day gap between Kim’s death
Saturday on a train and its public an-
nouncement Monday underscored the
government’s nervousness, analysts
said.

WASHINGTON — Republi-
can presidential hopeful Newt
Gingrich is going after the con-
servative primary voters he
needs to win in Iowa while chief
rival Mitt Romney’s advantage
in money and organization is al-
lowing him to
look ahead to
the general
election.
With about
two weeks left
until voters be-
gin assessing
the GOP field,
Gingrich
pressed his criticism of federal
judges and the Supreme Court.
Romney defended his public
and private-sector record
against likely Democratic at-
tacks.
Gingrich resumed campaign-
ing Monday, with events
planned in eastern Iowa, after
taking the weekend off. Romney
was appearing on “The Late
Show with David Letterman.”
Romney also announced an-
other endorsement, from Sen.
Mark Kirk. The Illinois Repub-
lican said America needs Rom-
ney’s “managerial talent, team-
building spirit and hard-nosed
sense of economic common
sense.”
Polls in Iowa and nationally
showGingrich ahead of Romney
in the race for the GOP nomina-
tion to challenge Obama in No-
vember 2012. Gingrich has ac-
knowledged that repeated at-
tacks by Romney and others
have taken a toll on his cam-
paign.
In a bid to stay out front, Gin-
grich is focusing on ideology as
he courts the Iowa conserva-
tives he needs to win the Jan. 3
caucuses and challenge Rom-
ney’s well-organized campaign
in what could become a drawn-
out primary.
Gingrich contrasted his en-
dorsement by the “reliably con-
servative” Manchester Union
Leader newspaper in New
Hampshire with the decision by
Iowa’s Des Moines Register,
which has a more left-leaning
editorial board, to back Romney.
“I think that indicates who the
conservative in this race is,”
Gingrich said.
The two have set up a choice
for primary voters between a
candidate, Romney, who hasn’t
excited the conservative base
but emphasizes his appeal to the
independents needed to win the
White House, or Gingrich, the
candidate who sounds more
conservative.

BAGHDAD — Iraq’s Shiite-led gov-
ernment issued an arrest warrant Mon-
day for Vice President Tariq al-Hashe-
mi, the country’s highest ranking Sunni
official and an outspoken critic of the
prime minister, on terrorism charges.
The move, a day after the last Amer-
ican troops left Iraq and ended the near-
ly nine-year U.S. war, signaled a sharp
new escalation in sectarian tensions
that drove Iraq to the brink of civil war
just a few years ago.
Interior Ministry spokesmanAdil Da-
ham told reporters about the warrant
and state-run television aired what it
characterized as confessions by alleged
terrorists held by the Interior Ministry
who were said to be linked to al-Hashe-
mi. They claimed they received orders
fromhimto attack government officials
and police officers.
“An arrest warrant has been issued
against Vice President al-Hashemi un-
der the terrorism law and five judges
have signed this warrant,” said Daham
as he waved a copy of the order. On Sun-
day, judges investigating al-Hashemi’s
bodyguards over the alleged attacks
banned the vice president from travel-
ing outside of Iraq.
Al-Hashemi and Shiite Prime Minis-
ter Nouri al-Maliki are old rivals.
Since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion that
toppledSaddamHusseinandhis Sunni-
dominatedBaathpartyregime, theSun-
ni minority has constantly complained
of attempts by the Shiite majority to
sideline them.
Al-Hashemi is one of the leaders of
the Sunni-backed political bloc Iraqiya,
suspended its participation in parlia-
ment on Saturday to protest the control
of key posts by al-Maliki.

STATE COLLEGE — Former board
members of JerrySandusky’s charitysayits
CEOnever told themabout a 2002 shower
incident that is the focus of child sexual
abusechargesagainst theretiredPennState
assistant coach. If they knewSandusky had
beenbannedfrombringingkidsoncampus,
they say they could have taken steps to bet-
ter protect children a decade ago.
“Not one thing was said to us,” said Bra-
dley P. Lunsford, a Centre County judge
who served on the Second Mile board be-
tween 2001 and 2005. “Not a damn thing.”
If more information had been given to
board members, they “would have asked
the follow-up question: Why? You don’t
know? Who knows? Who can we talk to?
Has this beenreportedtothepolice?” Luns-
ford said.
Lunsford and four other former board
members at The Second Mile point the fin-
ger at JackRaykovitz, aclosefriendof Sand-
usky’s who ran the charity until resigning
following the former coach’s Nov. 5 arrest.
A former prosecutor, Lunsford said Ray-
kovitz had an obligation to tell the board.
One of Raykovitz’s vice presidents said
Raykovitz also shared little information
with his managers about a 2008 sexual
abuse complaint that led to the current
criminal charges against Sandusky.
And the head of Clinton County’s child
welfare agency, where the 2008 investiga-
tion began, said he told Raykovitz’s wife in
November 2008 that Sandusky had been
spoken to about getting “too close” to chil-
dren involved with the charity.
The grand jury that charged Sandusky
with 52 sexual abuse-related counts involv-
ing10boyssaidtheformer coach“foundhis
victims” through The Second Mile and
committed many of his offenses inside
Penn State football buildings.
Ex-Second Mile directors say they were never told
2002 incident involving Jerry
Sandusky at issue.

DALLAS TWP. -- Misericordia
University has163newgraduates
after its inaugural winter com-
mencement Monday in the An-
dersonSports andHealthCenter.
“What makes Misericordia dif-
ferent is that information and
wisdom conveyed here have a
purpose beyond mere success as
defined by income and your qual-
ity of life,” university President
Michael MacDowell said.
“Those who obtain an educa-
tion at Misericordia, graduate
with the distinct capability and
desire to use their newfound
knowledge in the service of oth-
ers.”
The commencement address
was presented by Sister Patricia
A. Talone, RSM, Ph.D., vice presi-
dent of mission services for the
Catholic Health Association of
the United States.
A Sister of Mercy of the Mid-
Atlantic Community and a
health-care ethicist, Talone has
also served as vice president for
mission services and ethicist for
Unity Health of St. Louis, Mo., a
subsidiary of the Sisters of Mercy
Health System.
“Acollege degree provides you
with the skills to sift through all
of the information bombarding
you-- fromtheprint media, televi-
sion, radio, movies and the Inter-
net -- to determine what is true
and what is false, what is fact and
what is opinion, what should be
retained and what should be cast
aside.” Talone told the class.
She encouraged the graduates
to use the qualities instilled in
them at Misericordia to make a
difference in the world.
“As graduates of a Mercy Insti-
tution, we hope andpray that you
will go forth within your chosen
professions to bring qualities of
Mercy-reverence for the dignity
of every person, compassion for
thosemost inneedandagracious
sense of hospitality to all who
come within your purview.”
Brenda M. Heck of Nanticoke,
a summa cum laude graduate
with a bachelor of science degree
in Medical Imaging, offered stu-
dent remarks. A non-traditional
student, Heck, 46, began her ca-
reer in radiology more than 25
years ago.
Heck is employed as a full-time
clinical manager at Wilkes-Barre
General Hospital, where she
served as a clinical instructor for
Misericordia students. She has
recently been appointed an ad-
junct faculty member for the
Medical Imaging Department
and will be teaching in the Col-
lege of Health Sciences in the
spring semester.
Heck told her fellow class-
mates to take charge of their lives
and embrace changes that will
come their way.
“Change is meant to challenge
you, to make you stronger,” she
said. “Your ability to adapt to
changes and convert them into
opportunities will put you in the
driver’s seat to succeed.”
She urged members of the
class to never let fear hold them
back from following their
dreams.
“Live life to the fullest and you
will never have to worry about
looking back and saying ‘I should
have or could have -- you could
say ‘I did.’”

WYOMING – After more than
45 minutes in executive session,
members of The Northeast Penn-
sylvania School District Health
Trust boardvotedunanimously to
appeal arecent court rulingsaying
the trust must pay millions to two
school districts that withdrew
fromthe consortium.
Earlier this month, Luzerne
County Judge Lewis Wetzel ruled
infavorof DallasandPittstonArea
school districts ina4-year-oldlaw-
suit filed after the districts left the
trust, formed in1999 to save local
districts money on health insur-
ance. Dallas and Pittston Area ar-
gued in court that they were entit-
led to millions they had paid in
premiums that had helped the
trust buildup a large cashreserve.
The trust countered that the
agreement signed by all members
upon joining said any money paid
into the trust stay there unless the
consortiumis dissolved.
After a seven-day trial, Wetzel
ruled the trust must pay Dallas
$2.8 million and Pittston Area
$2.3 million. Trust officials filed
post-trial motions necessary be-
fore an appeal can be launched,
and is awaiting a ruling on those
motions.
AttorneyHowardBashmantold
thetrust boardtheywouldhave30
days to file anappeal after a ruling
onthosemotions, but warnedthat
it maybewisetoact sooner topre-
vent the two districts from at-
tempting to seize or freeze trust
accounts in an effort to secure the
money.
The boardauthorizedBashman
and other attorneys working on
the case to file notice of an appeal
and “take all action necessary to
protect the interests of the trust.”
The boardwas alsowarnedthat
the court ruling could force an in-
crease in premiums. Robert Glus
of Conrad Siegel, the actuarial
firmcontractedbythetrust, noted
the board voted to keep a mini-
mum of the equivalent of 2 ½
monthsof premiumsinreservefor
emergencies or sudden demands
for large payouts. Glus said it’s
possible that, if ordered to set
aside money for the two districts,
the reserve could drop belowthat
level.
Glus said it’s too early to know
what, if any, impact the ruling will
have, but advised “the board may
need to strongly consider increas-
ing rates” to recoup sufficient re-
serves.
The size of the reserve was the
trigger prompting the two dis-
tricts to withdrawfromthe Trust.
After initially operatinginthe red,
thetrust startedrunninglargesur-
pluses, hovering near $20 million
at one point. Dallas and Pittston
Area withdrew, believing they
could manage more efficient
health insurance coverage at
cheaper rate, then sued for what
theyclaimedwastheir shareof the
surplus.
Health trust board to appeal ruling
Group was directed to refund
Dallas and Pittston Area
school districts $5.1 million.

Mark Guydish, a Times Leader staff
writer, can be reached at 829-7161.
Head of School Mark DiPippa
said the building will need to be
completely renovated to make
way for the school.
It will includenineclassrooms,
a foreign language room, a music
room, a media room, anart room,
a multipurpose area for athletics,
an auditorium and a cafeteria.
The school is set to begin its
first academic year in August
2012, and DiPippa hopes it will
expand to offer high school-level
classes by 2013.
DiPippa will continue to lead a
founding campaign through
2012, and in addition to moneta-
ry donations, the school will ac-
cept donations of services for the
renovation project.
The $1.5 million founding
campaign began in October and
to date the school has raised
about $220,000 towards an en-
dowment and school develop-
ment.
He said Rock Solid Academy’s
DALLAS TWP. – Members
of the Rock Solid Academy
board of directors signed a
lease agreement with Twin
Stacks Center on Monday
night, solidifying the location
for the developing Christian
school.
The school entered into a
five-year lease for the 15,000-
square-foot space, which was
formerly occupied by Inter-
Mountain Medical Group. The
health clinic moved to Shaver-
town about 18 months ago,
said Rick Haas, an owner of
Twin Stacks.
Chairman Jerry Harteis said
the board has been scouting lo-
cations for the kindergarten
through eighth-grade non-de-
nominational Christian school
for about eight months. One
possible location included the
former Gate of Heaven School
inDallas, whichclosedinJune.
capacity will be about 180 stu-
dents, with 20 students in each
grade. DiPippa added the school
will hire about 12 full-time in-
structors and administrators and
about 12 part-time staff mem-
bers.
DiPippa saidnowthat the loca-
tion of Rock Solid Academy is
confirmed, the board can work
on tuition numbers, which
should be prepared by January.
Lynn Banta, an owner of Twin
Stacks, said she feels the school
will be a good fit for the facility.
Dual entrances and exits will ac-
commodate buses and vehicular
traffic at the site, and the space is
locatedat the endof the commer-
cial building, leaving it “some-
what isolated.”
DiPippa also said the facility
will have an office and a sample
classroom by mid-January.

LEHMANTWP. -- Board of Su-
pervisors President David Sutton
said Monday night that the town-
shipgarage is close tobeingoccu-
pied but problems have been en-
countered with the roof installa-
tion and the shingles.
Sutton said both are unsatis-
factory. A roofing subcontractor
applied shingles over loose nails
and didn’t install the proper fas-
cia and gutters, he said. The shin-
gles themselves, manufactured
by GAF, are discolored.
Because two different parties
are involved, Sutton said, the
problem will likely have to go to
arbitration.
Sutton said that with winter
coming, the chance of getting the
building properly roofed is small.
He said the lack of gutters in
the front of the building is caus-
ing water to drip and create icy
patches in front of the building.
ThetownshiphadcontactedYon-
koski Gutter Systems of Shaver-
town about installing a tempora-
ry gutter in the front of the build-
ing until the roof is properly rein-
stalled, he said.
The board voted to pay Yon-
koski $1,737 for the installation
of 210 feet of gutter.
Sutton said the new building
will be a vast improvement over
the present garage, which is not
waterproof. Only one truck can
be parked out of the weather
right now. The new garage will
have four bays, allowing four
trucks to be loaded and ready to
go when a winter storm hits.
The new structure will also
have a break room, bathroom fa-
cilities and energy-efficient fea-
tures such as radiant heat in-
stalled in the concrete floor.
In other business, the council
approved a final budget with no
changes from the one proposed
last month. There will be no tax
increase. The total budget will be
$1,355,588. Millage remains at
1.25. A mill is a $1 tax on every
$1,000 of assessed property val-
ue.
The reorganizational meeting
will be Tuesday, Jan. 3 at 7 p.m.
with the regular meeting to fol-
low at 7:30 p.m.

HARRISBURG — The state
House voted Monday to ap-
prove a bill that authorizes $1.7
billion in newstate borrowing, a
normally routine piece of legis-
lation that was held up as law-
makers haggled over state
spending and the way that eco-
nomic development projects are
approved.
The 119-75 vote came more
than six months after the Capi-
tal Budget Act passed the Sen-
ate unanimously.
Afterward Majority Leader
Mike Turzai, R-Allegheny, said
on the House floor that the state
needed to make payments and
maintain its bond rating, but he
hopedto work withthe adminis-
tration of Gov. Tom Corbett to
cut overall debt.
Corbett’s budget secretary,
Charles Zogby, warned in a let-
ter last week to a key House Re-
publican that failure to approve
the bill soon would result in lay-
offs for thousands of construc-
tion workers and damage to the
economy.
Thebill allocates $270million
in redevelopment money
through the Redevelopment
Capital Assistance Program,
known in Harrisburg as RCAP.
It also supports $935 million
in spending for buildings and
structures, $412 million for
transportation and bridges, $10
million for furnishings and
equipment for newconstruction
and $35 million for flood con-
trol. The Pennsylvania Constitu-
tionmandates annual passage of
a capital budget “for the ensuing
fiscal year.”
The bill was sent to Corbett’s
desk for his signature.
A BILL THAT WOULD refi-
nance Pennsylvania’s unemploy-
ment compensation’s multibil-
lion-dollar debt to the federal
government is back in the state
Senate’s hands after passing the
House in amended form.
The House voted 193-to-1 on
Monday to authorize bonds to
pay off the federal loans. The in-
terest is expected to be lower
than the roughly 4 percent the
federal government charges.
House Republican Leader
Mike Turzai of Allegheny Coun-
ty calls the proposal “a common-
sense measure.”

cier, philanthropist andbluegrass

cations fromleukemia, his family
said. He was 77.
Hellman, co-founder of the San

al drive, while nurturing his pen-

WILKES-BARRE – A Plains
Township woman pleaded
guilty Monday to several charg-
es stemming from four inci-
dents, including two in which
she took items fromstores with-
out paying. JeanetteD. Viera, 30,
of Hancock Street, entered the
pleatocharges of threecounts of
retail theft, two counts of disor-
derly conduct, two counts of
trespassing and one count each
of false identification and resist-
ing arrest.
Luzerne County Judge Tina
Polachek Gartley said Viera will
be sentenced on Feb. 17. Viera
faces from 90 days in jail for a
summary retail theft charge to
five years in jail on a first-degree
misdemeanor retail theft
charge.
According to court papers, on
June 23, 2010, Plains Township
police said they responded to
the Rite Aid store on South Riv-
er Street for the report of a theft.
Police said a woman, later
identified as Viera, began plac-
ing items into her purse and ran
fromthe store when asked if she
was going to pay. When police
went to Viera’s home, she identi-
fied herself as Jennifer Viera.
OnJuly14, 2010, Wilkes-Barre
police said Viera went into the
Boscov’s Department Store in
South Main Street and left with-
out paying for several pieces of
jewelry.

she hadbeentoldnot tobecause
of the previous incident. Police
said they asked Viera to leave,
and she “became irate” and in-
sulted a store employee.
That same month, Plains
Township police said Viera
again entered the store, and be-
gan to use profanities when po-
lice asked her for identification.
Police said Viera began strug-
gling with officers, and a stun
gun was used to subdue her.

WILKES-BARRE – AHazle-
ton man was sentenced Monday
to three to six years in state
prison on drug-related charges.
Jason A. Delacruz, 27, with a
last known address of Peace
Street, was sentenced on three
counts of delivery of a controlled
substance by Luzerne County
Senior Judge Kenneth Brown.
Delacruz was represented by
attorney James Scallion. Assist-
ant District Attorney Jill Mat-
thews Lada prosecuted the case.
According to court papers, in
January, Delacruz sold hundreds
of dollars worth of suspected
heroin to a police informant on
several different occasions.
WILKES-BARRE – ALuzerne
County senior judge on Monday
denied the request of a man
sentenced to 25 to 50 years in
prison to have his prison term
reduced.
Senior Judge Kenneth Brown
denied the request made by
Ralph E. Lewis, 34, of Plains
Township, sentenced earlier this
month to 25 to 50 years in prison
on charges he sexually assaulted
a woman over a 10-year-period.
Lewis said in court papers filed
recently through his attorney,
Nanda Palissery, that his sen-
tence should be modified be-
cause: he has expressed remorse;
the judge abused his discretion in
imposing an “unreasonable and
excessive” sentence; Lewis feels
the sentence is “unduly harsh”
and he is “amenable to treat-
ment” and is willing to undergo
counseling.
Lewis was charged with as-
saulting the now-27-year-old
woman beginning when she was
8 in1993. The assaults resulted
in the birth of two children.
WILKES-BARRE – Aman

WILKES-BARRE– It started
as an orphanage housing about
40childrenorphanedasaresult
of the Civil War. Almost 150
years later, it is serving more
than 4,000 children struggling
withmyriadbehavioral, mental
and emotional problems.
The sesquicentennial of the
Children’s Service Center tech-
nically occurs April 11, and offi-
cials are planning a big banquet
at the East Mountain Inn that
day. But they began marking
the anniversary at a small
“lunch and learn” session with
staff and invited political and
public figures Monday.
Director of Development Liz
Hibbard said the quarterly
“lunch and learn” events were
an old idea reborn as the center
moves toward its 151st year.
The idea is to help people un-
derstand what the agency is
and what it does.
Created by local women as
The Home for Friendless Chil-
dren during the Civil War, the
center grewand changed into a
provider of a wide range of be-
havioral health programs for
children up to age 18. Services
aregivenat home, inschool and
inresidential facilities, depending
on the child’s needs.
The services extend to helping
parents learn to fulfill that role
better. The center recently
launched Parent-Child Interac-
tionTherapy, achancefor parents
to work with their children while
center staff watch through a one-
way mirror and give advice via an
ear bud worn by the parents.
And the center continues to ex-
pand. Chief Executive Officer Mi-
chael Hopkins said the center has
applied to become a licensed
drug-and-alcohol treatment cen-
ter, in large part because many of
the problems it addresses are
rooted in substance abuse by the
children or parents.
Children’s Service Center runs
an annual budget in excess of $18
million, with about 80 percent of
that comingfromMedicaidcover-
age for the childrentheytreat. Lu-
zerne County provides about $1.2
million for contracted services,
Hopkins said. The rest of the
funding comes from a mix of
sources including private pay-
ments, private insurance compa-
ny coverage, grants and dona-
tions.
Along with the big dinner on
April 11, the center is planning its
first open picnic during the ses-
quicentennial, inviting the public
to join in the celebration. Hibbard
said details are not finalized, but
she expects it will be held in July.
“Wewant peopletoseewhat we

HANOVER TWP. – The com-
missioners unanimously passed
the 2012 budget at Monday
night’s regular meeting.
The $10 million spending plan
includes no tax increases and no
loss in services to the residents.
The budget keeps the millage
rate at 5.5 with one mill bringing
approximately $1,833,957 in rev-
enue to the township. A mill is a
$1taxonevery $1,000 of assessed
property value.
Some of the budget’s biggest
expenditures are police at
$1,220,507, fire department at
$460,723 and the street depart-
ment at $1,357,646. The budget
also includes provisions for the
ongoing sewer installation pro-
ject at Truesdale Terrace.
“It’s agoodbudget andonethat
I believe in,” said Commissioner
Ron Hummer.
Commissioners also passed a
motion to accept a $900,000 tax
anticipation loan fromLandmark
Community Bank in Pittston at
aninterest rate of 1.99 percent for
2012. Other bidders included
M&T Bank at 2.56 percent and
First National Community Bank
at 3.25 percent.
In other business, the commis-
sioners:
•Will move to negotiate a fuel
contract on their own since they
received no bids from two previ-
ous advertisements seeking pric-
ing with the last expiring on Dec.
5. By law, the townshipmust wait
45 days from the date of the last
advertisement until it can nego-
tiate a contract on its own. The
township will begin negotiating
on Jan. 13.
• Said that for the first time
since 1975, the township will
have fire department personnel
on duty around the clock, seven
days a week. Fire Chief Jeffrey
Tudgay said the number of calls
the department has received has
nearly doubled over the last year
and this will ensure a quick re-
sponse to the residents. Tudgay
said the department is actively
pursuing moving to a centralized
locationat the oldSquare HLum-
ber yard along the Sans Souci
Parkway.
• Hired Thomas Farver as a
full-time patrolman.

Ex-player says Jackson
a great coach and mentor
I
played for Dallas High School football
coach Ted Jackson from1991 through
1993. I was fortunate to be part of the
1993 state championship team.
Playing for coach Jackson was not easy.
He expects a lot from his players. He de-
mands a high level of performance not
many believe they can achieve. He was
never one to be politically correct. He
would not hesitate to yell at you for not
playing to your potential. He once made us
practice immediately following a game
against Crestwood High School that we
won 14-0.
Some people who never played football
would say that coach Jackson is crazy.
Those of us who have played football,
especially for coach Jackson, would say the
man is a brilliant coach. He not only pre-
pared us to play a football game, but he
prepared us to be men in a very compet-
itive world in which it is not easy to sur-
vive.
Coach Jackson is among a dying breed
of coaches whom our communities should
try to keep as long as possible.
Because I was a player for coach Jack-
son, I have been able to accomplish more
than I ever thought possible. I have the
attitude of not being satisfied with average
or of giving up on something and saying,
“Oh, well, I tried my best.” Instead I have
the attitude, “I can do better!”
The Dallas School District is lucky to
have had a mentor such as coach Ted Jack-
son for its young men.
I was lucky to have coach Jackson as a
mentor and a football coach.
Thanks, Coach Ted Jackson

Writer calls fur farming
inhumane to animals
I
magine spending your entire life in a
small wire cage, waiting to be skinned
and killed. This brutal reality is faced by
wild animals living on fur farms.
The fur industry wants you to believe
that fur farming is a humane alternative to
the brutality of trapping. Nothing could be
further from the truth.
While many European countries have
banned fur farming, the United States
turns a blind eye. Fur farms not only are
legal here, they are almost completely
unregulated. That means the killing of 3
million minks every year. Foxes, lynx and
bobcats also are farmed in the United
States, and no single agency is responsible
for monitoring these operations.
That spells misery for millions of minks,
foxes and other fur-bearing animals. Im-
prisoned in solitary mesh cages the size of
laundry baskets, farmed animals crave the
space, socialization and den cover they’ll
never experience. This is no life for a wild
animal.
Fur farming is not just inhumane, it
threatens people and wildlife. Manure and
carcasses from fur farming pollute land
and water.
In this season of giving, please do not
purchase fur items; even trim on coat
hoods, gloves, boots and purses have
evolved from animal suffering. Don’t patro-
nize stores that sell fur and tell manage-
ment why you will not shop there.
How can the suffering of a fellow species
make one feel more beautiful?

AT THIS time of year, it is
common to hear the words
“wonder” and “awe” as peo-
ple enjoy the holidays. With
the recent congressional
reapportionment gift present-
ed to the national GOP by
Republican majorities in Harrisburg, the words
“wonder” and “awe” are being used to de-
scribe the breathtaking backroom deal-making
that produced, by a single vote in the Senate,
congressional maps that divide communities
and diminish voter participation.
Recent editorials have described the new
maps as everything from a “Rorschach test” to
an “embarrassment.” I have to agree. Penn-
sylvania can do better.
Voters should be choosing their elected
officials when they go to the ballot box. In-
stead, politicians who are “on the right team”
politically are picking their constituents. When
voter frustration is at an all-time high with
partisan gridlock, legislators are advancing a
congressional map that will ensure adherence
to the party line will trump loyalty to the folks
back home.
While this power-play might strengthen one
party’s voice in Washington, it muffles the
voices of every man and woman who takes the
time to head to the polls and exercises the
right to vote.
It does a tremendous disservice to voters,
especially in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
In this new plan, major areas are chiseled
out of the 11th Congressional District. The
cities of Wilkes-Barre and Pittston will no
longer be in same district as Hazleton and
Nanticoke. Constituents, regrettably, will be
stretched from Plymouth to Mechanicsburg,
dividing communities along the way and
diminishing the voice of the people in their
government.
Many legislators, the entire Senate Demo-
cratic Caucus and four brave Senate Repub-
licans, stood up to partisan politics and said
no to the new congressional redistricting
plan. When the vote moves to the state House
of Representatives, I hope more like-minded
legislators will see how this congressional
map diminishes the role the people of North-
eastern Pennsylvania will play in national and
state politics.
This slicing-and-dicing approach also will
have detrimental effects in communities
across the state. Civic and business groups
have weighed in on the congressional plan,
and they don’t like it. One group, the Greater
Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce, warned
it would be a detriment to the region’s contin-
ued growth and prosperity. Creating jobs and
prosperity should be the objective of elected
officials in Harrisburg – not worrying about
job security for friends in Congress, but worry-
ing about economic security for all of their
constituents.
In many states, you will find independent
commissions redrawing the maps. In most
cases, you will find a result that reflects pop-
ulation shifts while ensuring that one person/
one vote is truly the primary objective at play.
The principled, unbiased approach that states
such as Iowa and others have adopted needs
serious consideration in Pennsylvania. I have
sponsored legislation to accomplish an inde-
pendent redistricting process, and will contin-
ue the fight.
The heightened level of gamesmanship that
we have witnessed is a wake-up call that our
system needs to be changed. It needs to be
changed soon, and it has to operate in a man-
ner that truly serves the best interests of vot-
ers. We need an approach that puts the peo-
ple’s interest above the self-interest of either
political party.
State Sen. John Yudichak, D-Plymouth Township,
represents the 14th Senatorial District, which in-
cludes parts of Luzerne, Carbon and Monroe coun-
ties.
Redistricting divides communities, hurts voter input

Y U D I C H A K
T
HE FAILURE last
week by Harrisburg
lawmakers and Gov.
Tom Corbett to reach
agreement on even a modest
impact fee for the burgeoning
natural-gas industry tapping
the rich Marcellus Shale fields
will have far-reaching, negative
consequences for Pennsylvania.
By booting the issue into the
forthcoming election year, Re-
publican state Senate and
House leaders nowrun the risk
that nothing will get done – de-
spite their best hopes of having
a legislative conference com-
mittee hash out a compromise
measure.
That’s the worst-case scena-
rio, where the state will contin-
ue to stand by while drillers en-
joy an unprecedented tax holi-
day. Dating fromlawmakers’ re-
jection of former Gov. Ed
Rendell’s proposal to enact a 5
percent gas-extractionfee, drill-
ers havehadafreerideherethat
no other major gas-producing
state offers.
Unless theLegislaturemoves
quickly in the new year, the is-
suecouldbesidetrackedbypre-
election jitters among lawmak-
ers who, like Corbett, subscribe
to rigid and unworkable no-
new-tax ideologies.
Meanwhile, the entire state
suffers, and its environment is
at risk.
Without a gas-extraction fee
that, by rights, should be add-
ing millions to state coffers,
there will be less aid for two-
dozencounties wheretheboom
has meant crumbling pave-
ments, congestion and rising
housingcosts, amongother ills.
Statewide, a fair drilling fee
should be helping to support
services that benefit all Penn-
sylvanians – first and foremost,
assuring that conservation and
environmental cleanup efforts
survive and grow. That’s partic-
ularly crucial now, because Cor-
bett’s budget proposals threat-
en to leave programs such as
the successful Growing Green-
er initiative with a fraction of
thefundingavailableover its12-
year span.

OTHER OPINION: DRILLING
Stall on gas fee

F
ORABREAKfromthe
cold this winter, those
Occupy Wall Street
protesters should shift
indoors to the Luzerne County
Courthouse. By all appearanc-
es, there’s a growing gulf
around here between how the
law looks upon rich and poor.
People accused of crimes but
lacking the money for an attor-
ney can no longer expect to be
assigned a public defender, ac-
cording to a news report in The
Times Leader’s Saturday edi-
tion.
Chief Public Defender Al Flo-
raJr. saidhis officewill limit the
number of newcases it takes be-
ginning this week. Flora pinned
the problem on a shortage of
funding for a sufficiently large
defense staff to handle the case-
load, saying, “We are over-
whelmed right now.”
Five people seeking legal rep-
resentation reportedly were
turned away Monday.
The Public Defender’s Office
will handleonlycertainkinds of
cases, including juvenile cases
and those involving the most
serious crimes: homicides, felo-
ny sex offenses and cases in
whicha defendant is incarcerat-
ed. Flora saidit will be uptothe
Luzerne County Court, presi-
ded over by Judge Joseph
Burke, to decide a method for
appointing attorneys to repre-
sent indigent defendants inoth-
er matters.
By taking
this action,
Flora might
finally force
county and
state officials
to confront
troubling
shortfalls here in money and
personnel devoted to the court
system. He’s justifiably per-
turbed at being asked to pro-
vide competent counsel with-
out being provided the re-
sources to supply it.
Until the dust-up can be re-
solved, however, themost likely
casualties are – again – the peo-
ple with the least.
The lesson for Luzerne
County residents has become
increasingly clear in 2011: To
avoid a prison cell, don’t get in-
volved in any kind of legal trou-
ble whatsoever. Or, on the flip
side, become a wealthy real es-
tate developer who can afford
to hand out $5,000 Christmas
gifts to judges and other power
brokers, hire teams of attorneys
to ward off problems and pay
multimillion-dollar settlements
(with the help of insurance
firms).
It appears today that the jus-
tice system has multiple tiers,
one level for the haves, another
for the have-nots. AndGodhelp
those who find themselves on
the bottom tier.

go on, but there will always be a
hole in our hearts.”
President Barack Obama and
Iraqi PrimeMinister Nouri al-Mali-
ki recently observed the end of the
U.S. military presence inIraq, with
all troops due out Dec. 31. Nearly
4,500 U.S. service members have
beenkilledinIraqsincethewar be-
gan in March 2003. About 32,000
have been wounded.
“I’dliketoknowwhowon,” Mar-
ianne said. “And at what cost. As
far as I’m concerned, everybody
lost. This is anti-climactic. When
will the troops come back fromAf-
ghanistan?”
Marianne said her heart will al-
ways be broken.
“I lost one of my children,” she
said. “What should have been isn’t
going to happen.”
For nearly three years after her
son’s death, Marianne spoke to
elected officials, wrote letters and
went toWashington, D.C., tolobby
to get U.S. troops home. And then
she stopped making her impas-
sioned pleas.
“I got tired of banging my head
against thewall,” Mariannesaid. “I
shifted gears.”
The Clearys established the 1st
Lt. Michael ClearyMemorial Fund
through the Luzerne Foundation.
So far, Jack said, the foundation
has issued more than $150,000 in
grants to veterans and their fam-
ilies and to organizations that help
children with special needs. Their
son, Patrick, has Down syndrome,
and he is employed and involved
with several organizations.
During the 2008 presidential
campaign, Erin Cleary attended a
debateinNewHampshireandtold
Sen. JohnMcCain, the GOPcandi-
date, about her brother. McCain
later visited Erin’s home with his
son, Jim, the day before Jim’s de-
ployment to Iraq.
The Cleary family – including
Jack, Marianne and Patrick – were
there. McCain sat next to Marian-
ne.“I told him if he wanted to be
president, he needs to end the
war,” she recalled. “He said he
couldn’t dothat; that we hadtofin-
ish the job.”
Jackstill runs his business, Clea-
ry Forest Products, and Marianne
volunteers at Blue Chip Farms, a
rescue kennel with a “no-kill” pol-
icy.
She also plays tennis and spent
timeas asubstituteschool teacher.
Jack and Marianne have differ-
ing views on soldiering – she said
Mikey wanted to be a soldier from
the time he was a young boy, in-
spired by his dad, a U.S. Army vet-
eran, and a proud Cleary heritage
of military service.
“For someone who doesn’t be-
lieve in war, war has had a major
impact on my life,” Marianne said.
“Some wonderful people will be
coming home to be reunited with
their families and that’s good. But
look at what the war did to our
family. Andthinkof howmanyoth-
ers there are like us.”
Jack spoke to Mikey the day be-
fore his son was killed. He said Mi-
key planned to come home and
work at his father’s company.
“There is nothing he wouldn’t
do for his men,” Jack said the day
after his son’s death. “He was dis-
gusted with the way the war has
been portrayed in the media. But
he was also terribly ready to come
home and be out of there.”
Jack said the Christmas season
istoughfor thefamily. Theywill all
be in New Hampshire with Erin
and her husband and family.
“You never forget what you’ve
lost,” Jack said. “But you learn to
value what you have.”

State police exhumed the
body and fetus on Oct. 30, 2007,
and with the use of modern tech-
nology, obtained DNA samples
that were added to the National
DNA Index System, a database
used by law enforcement agen-
cies. A dental examination also
was performed.
Hopes of a match with DNA
samples already in the database
have not been realized.
“I wish there was,” McAndrew
said. “Unfortunately, it hasn’t led
us any closer. If we couldidentify
her, it will certainly help us out
immensely and most likely lead
us to her killer.”
The woman’s body was rebu-
ried with her unborn child in a
donated burial vault at the Lau-
rytown Road Cemetery in Le-
high Township.
McAndrew said a soggy New
York Sunday News newspaper
dated Sept. 26, 1976, was found
inside one of the suitcases.
“Inresearchingthe newspaper
angle, we found out that the cir-
culation was in multiple states,
not just in New York,” McAn-
drew said.
McAndrew said the suitcases,
which had the handles removed,
were also thoroughly investigat-
ed.
“The handles on the suitcases
were cut off,” he said. “With peo-
ple saying the handles were cut
off because of fingerprints, the
personwouldstill have tohandle
other parts of the suitcase.”
McAndrew said investigators
learned that a specific suitcase
manufacturer discarded flawed
suitcases by removing the han-
dles.
“It remains an unsolved hom-
icide but we continue to work on
it,” he said.
Even after 35 years, McAn-
drewsaid the case has generated
interest.
A five-minute video paying
tribute to Beth Doe was posted
on Youtube.com and has been
seenbymorethan7,660viewers.
Beth Doe’s unsolved case also
is listed on the Doe Network and
NameUs websites, and an exten-
sive history of the case is view-
able online.
“In our troop, we have six uni-
dentified bodies dating back to
the1970s. In this particular case,
the public is constantly looking
for new information and up-
dates. We continue to receive in-
formation and tips about her,”
McAndrew said.
Anyone with information
about the womanis askedtocon-
tact McAndrew at the state po-
lice Hazleton barracks at 459-

Asoldier’s thoughts
Havingservedwiththe1stBattal-
ionof the109thFieldArtilleryof the
Pennsylvania Army National
Guard, Sgt. Michael Skoniecki re-
tired from the unit in 2008. Sko-
niecki, 46, did two tours -- one each
in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Skoniecki, of Nanticoke, has
been diagnosed with post-traumat-
ic stress disorder.
“They thought I had a heart at-
tack,” he said.
Skoniecki has strong opinions
that hekeepsmostlytohimself. But
he offered his thoughts on the end
of the war.
“We spent many years over there
and we mostly did a lot of rebuild-
ing of the damage we did,” he said.
“This all stemmed from Afghanis-
tan – with the bombing of the twin
towers (at the World Trade Center
in New York City on 9/11/01). As
farastheIraqWar, wewent tofinish
ajobweshouldhavebackinDesert
Storm.”
Skoniecki said he feels U.S.
troops did a good job.
“But too many lives have been
lost,” he quickly added.
Skoniecki believes many of the
returning soldiers will be deployed
to Afghanistan in the future.
“I just want to say ‘Welcome
home, boys,’ and be happy with
yourfamilies, especiallyat thistime
of year,” he said.
“I wish all the soldiers will come
home soon,” he said. “It’s a shame
we had to lose so many.”
HethankedtheAmericanpeople
for their enduring support of the
troops.
“If it wasn’t forthem, therewould
have been no push to go on,” he
said.
Mixed emotions
Jim Spagnola, director of veter-
ans’ affairsfor LuzerneCounty, said
he has mixed emotions about the
announced end of the Iraq War.
“Ononehand, I’mhappythat our
servicemen and women are no
longerinharm’swayinIraq, but I’m
waitingtosee if Iraqremains stable
and democratic,” Spagnola said.
“Only time will tell. But no matter
what, the men and women of the
U.S. military should be proud of
what they’ve accomplished.”
KarlaPorter, of theVeteransMul-
ti-Care Alliance, said soldiers that
served in Iraq aren’t really talking
about the end of the war. She said
she has asked for comments on the
group’s Facebook page, but there
have been fewresponses.
“I think they’re just tired,” Porter
said. “There was much more cele-
bration when U.S. troops took
Baghdad and when Saddam Hus-
sein was captured.”

President Judge Thomas Burke,
to decide how the county will
meet its constitutional mandate
to provide legal counsel to them
and others who cannot afford a
private attorney, Flora said.
Flora has the authority to de-
cline representation based on
the canons of legal ethics, which
state an attorney has an obliga-
tionto decline to represent a per-
sonif they cannot dosoeffective-
ly. There are court cases that
have upheld that principle, he
said.
Flora said the policy leaves
county judges with two options:
They can appoint the county’s 11
conflict counsel attorneys, who
represent defendants when the
Public Defender’s Office has a
conflict of interest, to the cases,
or they could appoint other pri-
vate attorneys to represent the
defendants.
A third option would be to ap-
point the Public Defender’s Of-
fice over its objections, but that
would cause his office to take an
“aggressive” position with the
court, which could ultimately
lead to a lawsuit, he said.
Flora stressed that would be a
last resort, but he’s prepared to
do so because the staffing issue
has reached a crisis level.
“We are following the law as
required. We put the court onno-
tice,” he said. “It can try to reap-
point us … (but) that would pre-
sent areal quagmirefor thecourt
because it would be appointing
us to represent people when it
knows we can’t meet our consti-
tutional mandate. …These judg-
es have to understand they can’t
force our lawyers into a position
where the constitutional rights
of people are being deprived.”
Under the newpolicy, the Pub-
lic Defender’s Office will repre-
sent only persons charged with
homicide, a felony sex offense,
state parole violations, juvenile
cases, mental health commit-
ments, probation revocations
and any defendant who is incar-
cerated, regardless of the charge.
All other new cases, including
some of the most common of-
fenses such as drunken driving,
theft and assault, will be denied
unless the person is incarcerat-
ed.
Burke said Monday he be-
lieves the policy will initially
cause a “log jam” within the
county court and magistrate
court system as many hearings
will have to be continued until
it’s determined who will repre-
sent a defendant.
Burke said it’s premature to
sayhowthe court intends tohan-
dle the matter. He said he plans
to meet with fellow county judg-
es this week to discuss the issue
and determine how to proceed.
Flora said he realizes he has
taken a drastic action. He said he
felt he had no choice because the
requests he and his predecessor,
Basil Russin, madefor additional
staff have been repeatedly de-
nied for years.
The American Bar Associ-
ationstandards say a full-time at-
torney should handle no more
than 150 felony cases per year.
Flora said he has part-time attor-
neys whoare handling150to200
cases per year, of which 80 to 90
percent are felonies. One part-
time attorney handled 260 cases
last year.
“I don’t knowwhat else to do,”
Flora said. “I’mafraid if I hold off
any longer something serious is
going to happen. I don’t want to
violate my own ethical obliga-
tion.”
Flora said he sent Doug Pape,
the county’s chief clerk/manag-
er, a letter last week advising
him of the policy. He said he has
not heard anything from county
commissioners.
Flora said he also reached out
to county councilman-elect Jim
Bobeck, who is part of the transi-
tion team, to seek a meeting
with incoming council mem-
bers.
Bobeck, an attorney, said Flo-
ra has raisedlegitimate concerns
regarding his department’s case-
load, which he believes is at a
“dangerous” level.
“There is a real concern about
the ability to provide adequate
representation,” Bobeck said.
Bobeck said something needs
to be done, but doesn’t know if
it’s realistic to expect the office
to meet American Bar Associ-
ation standards for caseloads.
“No county in Pennsylvania
meets that standard. It’s sort of a
perfect world case number,” he
said. “Al is going to have to sit
down in the next year with the
county manager. They will have
to come to some agreement as to
what is a more reasonable num-
ber of cases per attorney.”
DEFENDER

gram — renewal of the tax cuts
and long-term unemployment
benefits — that Republican and
Democratic leaders alike said
they favored.
It was the latest and likely the
last such partisan confrontation
in a year of divided government
that brought the Treasury to the
brink of a first-ever default last
summer, and more than once
pushed the vast federal estab-
lishment to the edge of a partial
shutdown.
This time, unlike the others,
Republicandivisions were prom-
inently on display.
The two-month measure that
cleared the Senate, 89-10, on Sat-
urday had the full support of the
GOP leader, Sen. Mitch McCon-
nell, who also told reporters he
was optimistic the House would
sign on. Senate negotiators had
tried to agree on a compromise
to cover a full year, but were un-
abletocomeupwithenoughsav-
ings to offset the cost and pre-
vent deficits from rising.
The two-month extension was
a fallback, and officials say that
when McConnell personally in-
formed Boehner and House Ma-
jority Leader Eric Cantor of the
deal at a private meeting, they
said they would check with their
rank and file.
But on Saturday, restive
House conservatives made clear
during a telephone conference
call that they were unhappy with
the measure.
“I’ve never seen us so unified,”
Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas,
said as he left a two-hour, closed-
door meeting Monday night
where Republicans firmed up
their plans.
Not surprisingly, the White
House weighed in on the side of
Obama’s Democratic allies.
Spokesman Jay Carney said
Boehner was for the two-month
stopgap bill “before he was
against it” — a claim that the
House speaker flatly denied.
Ironically, until the House
rank and file revolted, it ap-
pearedthat Republicans hadout-
maneuvered Obama on one
point.
The two-month measure that
cleared the Senate required him
to decide within 60 days to allow
construction on a proposed oil
pipeline that promises thou-
sands of construction jobs. Oba-
ma had threatened to veto legis-
lation that included the require-
ment, then did an about face.
The president recently an-
nounced he was delaying a deci-
sion on the pipeline until after
the 2012 elections, meaning that
while seeking a new term, he
would not have to choose be-
tween disappointing environ-
mentalists who oppose the pro-
ject and blue collar unions that
support it.
The Senate-passedbill, as well
as one that cleared the House
last week, also would avert a
threatened 27 percent cut in pay-
ments to doctors who treat
Medicare patients.
There was no controversy on
that provision, or muchof one on
anything but the duration of an
extension.
Democrats gleefully distrib-
uted evidence of GOP disagree-
ment, including comments from
Sen. Scott Brown of Massachu-
setts, Richard Lugar of Indiana
and others urging the House to
approve the two-month mea-
sure.
But first-term House Republi-
cans were unmoved.
“What they (the Senate) sent
us over was an insult to the
Americanpeople,” saidRep. Ann
Marie Buerkle, R-N.Y.
“I don’t care about political im-
plications” of letting taxes go up
Jan. 1for 160 million Americans,
said Rep. Tom Reed, R-N.Y. “We
will stay here as long as it takes
inorder to do what’s right for the
American people. ”
Professing a lack of concern
about higher taxes was not a
widely held position inside the
party leadership, though. For
both parties, the political impli-
cations seemed to matter huge-
ly.
The Democratic Congression-
al Campaign Committee an-
nounced it was sending auto-
mated phone calls into house-
holds in 20 targeted GOP-held
districts demanding that law-
makers support the two-month
extension, lest taxes go up.
Not to be outdone, the Nation-
al Republican Congressional
Committee issued a statement
headlined “Vacation, All House
Dems Ever Wanted” and claim-
ing that Democrats wanted to
raise taxes on the middle class.

SAN FRANCISCO — Candlestick Park
went dark twice in the San Francisco 49ers’
much-anticipated return to prime time.
Two power outages delayed the Niners’
Monday night game against the Pittsburgh
Steelers, first just before kickoff and again
early in the second quarter after the stadium
moved to a backup power source.
NFL security chief Jeff Miller said he wit-
nessed a transformer blow up while he was
monitoringa gate outside the stadium, where
a shooting during the preseason already put a
negative light on this venue.
The first outage pushed back the opening
kickoff by 20 minutes. Thousands of flash-
bulbs went off in the midst of the blackness,
with a sellout crowd of 69,732 sitting in dark-
ness.
The second delay came early in the second
quarter and halted the game again between
10-3 playoff-bound teams for about 15 min-
utes.

STATE COLLEGE -- He called it a
“scuffle.” A “freak accident.” “You can’t
even call it a fight,” Matt McGloin said.
However you want to label it, the Penn
State quarterback took responsibility
for Saturday’s post-practice incident
that landed himin the hospital.
McGloin said he fell and hit his head
on the floor of the team’s locker room
while grapplingwithwide receiver Cur-
tis Drake.
"As aquarterbackfor this university, I
should be held to a higher standard. It
should not have happened," McGloin
saidMonday morning at the team’s Ho-
lubaHall practicefacility. "I shouldhave
walkedaway fromit. Just twoguys who
got emotional about the game and got
into an argument.
"I’mgoingtotakeresponsibilityfor it.
It was immature. It was ill-timed. It
should not have hap-
pened."
Drake was not
made available for
comment and did
not practice with the
team Monday. The
team said his ab-
sence was not injury-
related.
McGloin said the situation lasted on-
ly 10 seconds. He said he was knocked
out for a short time and came to on a
stretcher before he was taken to Mount
Nittany Medical Center. The Scranton
native saidhe was toldhe suffereda sei-
zure and is still undergoing concussion
tests.

STATE COLLEGE -- In a
coaching search defined by its
extreme secrecy, Tom Bradley
isn’t about to take the subtle
route himself.
“(Penn State president Rod)
Erickson was down today, con-
gratulating our team on their
No. 1 academic ranking for all
bowl teams and I tried to
schmooze him a little bit,” Bra-
dley joked. “I gave him a No. 1

my cause. I gave (acting athlet-
ic director) Dave Joyner a No.
70 jersey. I was trying to do the
best I could do.”
Bradley is the rare candidate
who has actually been con-
firmed to have interviewed for
the full-time job. Penn State’s
interim coach sat down with
Joyner and the six-person
search committee on Friday.
On staff for 33 years, Bradley
took over for Joe Paterno after
the long-time coach was fired
on Nov. 9.
Three weeks later, Penn
State officially announced the
formation of a committee to
find a permanent coach. It has
now been another three weeks
since the searchbeganandvery

DALLAS—The Dallas girls
basketball team served notice
that it was a force to be reck-
oned with when it pushed
Wyoming Valley West to the
limit in last week’s champion-
ship game of the Tip-Off Tour-
nament.
On Monday night, the Moun-
taineers worked their way into
the role of a serious contender
for the Division II title.
Dallas excelled in every as-
pect of the game while posting
an impressive 73-30 victory over
Hanover Area. The Mountain-
eers scored at will, seemed to
come up with every loose ball,
and outrebounded the taller
Hawkeyes 52-9.
Junior guard Ashley Dunbar
led the way with 14 points, but
Dallas substituted freely
throughout the second half.
Perhaps the most telling statis-
tic is that 12 players broke into
the scoring column.
“I really like our team,” coach
Kelly Johnson said. “One of the
things I like best is that we don’t
have a star player. We have five
or six players who could be the
leading scorer on any given
night.”
The Mountaineers (3-1)
played with great tenacity
against Hanover Area. Their
defensive pressure shutdown
virtually any scoring attempt in
the paint, and they forced 46
turnovers.
“I thought our kids not only
played hard, they played ex-
tremely well together,” Johnson
said. “I still think we can be
more patient on offense. To-
night we put up a lot of shots
after making only two passes.
We could have had more oppor-
tunities if we had moved the
ball around.”
Dallas came out hitting on all
cylinders. The Mountaineers
took a 10-2 lead on a 3-point
basket by Sabrina Zurek early in
the first quarter and never
looked back. They forged a
40-19 halftime lead, and held the
Hawkeyes to 11 points in the
second half.
Dallas got a sharp effort from
freshman Gabbie Volpetti, who
scored two straight baskets that
gave the Mountaineers 48-22
lead late in the third period.
The only bright spot for Ha-
nover Area was senior forward
Danielle Tuzinski, who tossed in
17 points—including three 3-
point baskets.
“I’m very disappointed in our
performance,” Hanover Area
coach Steve Horensky said. “We
definitely need to work on our
ball handling. We’re capable of
playing much better.”
Tuzinski said the Hawkeyes
have a lot of work to do.
“We turned the ball over a lot
and we didn’t hit the boards,”
she said. “We had some good
practices coming into this game,
but we didn’t execute.”
According to Dunbar, the
Mountaineers are already start-
ing to jell.
“We play hard and we don’t
back down,” Dunbar said.
“We’re getting better every day,
but we have to continue to work
hard.”
Junior guard Jessica Hiscox
said Dallas did an excellent job
of dominating the boards.
“We work hard on boxing out,
and it paid off tonight,” Hiscox
said.

EASTRUTHERFORD, N.J. —
There are two elements tugging
at the Giants as they prepare for
their Saturday meeting with the
Jets: Hype and hope.
Both would seem to be self-
evident. Any game between the
two teams who share a fan base,
share a stadium, and share the
backpage headlines of the local
newspapers comes with a lot of
baggage. The Yankees andMets,
Rangers and Islanders and Dev-
ils, they all play each other regu-
larly. The Giants and Jets meet
only every four years in a game
that counts. And boy does this
one count.
Which brings up the hope. If
the Giants want to make the
playoffs this season, they’ll pret-
ty much need to beat the Jets to
keep that goal alive. A win
means that whatever happens
for the rest of the day Saturday,
they’ll be playing for the NFC
East division title Jan. 1 against
the Cowboys. A loss, and they’ll
have to sweat out an uncomfort-
able Christmas Eve waiting to
see if the Eagles can do them a
favor by beating Dallas. If the Gi-
ants lose and the Cowboys win
on Saturday, it’s over.
“It’s going to be do or die,” li-
nebacker Mathias Kiwanuka
said of the setup at MetLife Sta-
dium. “We have two teams that
are fighting. For us, the only
thing we’re concerned about is,
like I said yesterday, achieving
our ultimate goal, which is win-
ning a Super Bowl and stuff. Our
playoffs have already started.
Fortunately we still have anoth-
er opportunity to accomplish
that goal. This week is going to
be huge for us.”
The Giants are coming off an-
other perplexing loss in which
they played down to the level of
a seemingly inferior opponent
and allowed them to win. This
time it was the Redskins, who
walloped the Giants 23-10 on
Sunday.
Kiwanuka, who said that the
Giants aren’t a trash-talking
team and then claimed that the
Giants are the better team and
threw a dagger at Rex Ryan,
noted that it wouldn’t matter
who this Week 16 game was
against.
“I think it’s irrelevant because
of the situation that we’re in,” he
said. “If it was a hype game or
not a very publicized game, we
would still approach it the same
way.”

BERWICK – Berwick head
football coach Gary Campbell
will return for a seventh season
after the school board decided
not to open his position at Mon-
day night’s work session.
But in a twist of events, the
ninth grade football coaches that
were previously relieved of their
duties by Campbell recently will
also return to coach next year.
Head coach Scott Dennis guid-
ed the freshmen Bulldogs to a
10-0 season.
“We think highly of both of
them,” Berwick Superintendent
Wayne Brookhart said following
the meeting Monday night. “We
think highly of coach Campbell
and we think highly of coach
Dennis. Both have had great suc-
cess in their own right. Both are
great with kids, and we will be in
support of whoever is inthose po-
sitions as we move forward.”
The board met soon after a
meeting of the Berwick Athletic
Committee on Monday. School
board member Lori Dennis,
Scott’s wife and a teacher and
coach in the Greater Nanticoke
School District, is onthe commit-
tee.
Campbell’s job as varsity head
coachhas come under scrutiny in
recent years as he hasn’t been
able to duplicate the program’s
level of success enjoyed under
previous head coach George Cur-
ry. Curry is the winningest high
school coach in Pennsylvania his-
tory and won six state titles with
the Bulldogs.
In Campbell’s first six seasons
he’s accumulated a 46-25 record
with two Wyoming Valley Con-
ference titles, one District 2Class
3Achampionship and an Eastern
Conference Class 3A champion-
ship. The Bulldogs have qualified
for the playoffs, either Eastern
Conference or District 2, in each
of the last five seasons.
Curry was 40-24-1 in his first
six seasons leading the Bulldogs.
Campbell replaced Curry as
head coach in 2006, two years fol-
lowing Berwick’s runto the Class
3A East final. After moving from
Massachusetts to take the coach-
ing job, Campbell went 11-3 in
2008, leading the Bulldogs to the
PIAA quarterfinals.
Berwick hasn’t won or reached
a state final since winning its
fourth consecutive PIAA cham-
pionship in 1997.
“It’s part of the process, I
think,” Campbell said of the
meeting Monday night. “It’s
something that not only I, but ev-
ery coach around Pennsylvania
has to work with. I’m happy the
board supported me and that’s
where we’re at.”
The board met in executive
session for about an hour and a
half Monday, twice calling Camp-
bell in to speak with them. He al-
so spoke at length with Brook-
hart following the meeting.
Campbell said it was the
board’s idea that the freshmen
coaches be reinstated, andCamp-
bell agreed with it.
“Once a year we approve a list
of coaches for each sport, and up
until we approve each list, the
people who are here still are
here,” Board president Dan
McGann said.
Brookhart pointed to Camp-
bell’s turnaround of this year’s
teamas reason enough he should
return as head football coach.
The Bulldogs began the year 1-3
before winning eight consecutive
games to capture the Eastern
Conference championship.
“From my position, anyone
who starts 1-3 and rallies the
troops to win eight in a row,
shouldn’t be let go,” Brookhart
said. “Also, we were 7-3 this year
and that almost always gets you
into districts.”
“I’m happy to be here and hap-
py to be coaching at Berwick,”
Campbell said. “Myfamilylikes it
here. They’re good here.”
McGann and Brookhart both
said the expectations haven’t
changedfor the football program.
They want to see the team suc-
ceed each year just as much as
the fans do. And just because re-
cent seasons haven’t met those
expectations doesn’t mean ex-
pectations are going to change.
“We recognize there are times
when you don’t get there,”
McGann said. “We look forward
to progress those goals each year.
This year was viewed as progress
from last year and we’re looking
forward to next year to be pro-
gress from this year.”
“The standards are high for a
reason,” Campbell said. “Overall,
the kids should feel lucky about
that.”

For The Times Leader
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Dex-
ter Strickland scored 14 points
to help No. 5 North Carolina
beat Nicholls State 99-49 on
Monday night.
Freshman James Michael
McAdoo added a season-high 14
off the bench for the Tar Heels
(10-2), who dominated the un-
dersized and overmatched Colo-
nels for their fourth straight
victory. North Carolina had a
miserable shooting start and
missed a bunch of free throws,
but the Tar Heels snatched away
every loose rebound to get plen-
ty of extra looks.
They finished with a 72-35
advantage, including 31 on the
offensive glass that led to 36
second-chance points.
Duke 90, UNC Greensboro 63
DURHAM, N.C. — Freshman
Quinn Cook scored all of his
season-high 14 points in the
second half, and No. 7 Duke
routed UNC Greensboro.
Mason Plumlee had 15 points
and 13 rebounds and Austin
Rivers added 14 points for the
Blue Devils (10-1). They shot 54
percent from the field, shook off
a sluggish start and overcame 18
turnovers to win their third
straight since the one-sided loss
at No. 2 Ohio State.
Indiana 107, Howard 50
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. —
Jordan Hulls scored 16 points,
leading six Hoosiers in double
figures and No. 17 Indiana to a
blowout of Howard.
The Hoosiers celebrated their
500th appearance in The Associ-
ated Press’ Top 25 by improving
to 11-0 for the first time since
the 1975-76 team went 32-0.
That was the last Division I
men’s team to complete an
undefeated season.
Florida 82,
Mississippi Valley St. 54
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Erving
Walker scored 19 points, one of
five starters in double figures,
and No. 11 Florida overwhelmed
Mississippi Valley State.
Kenny Boynton (16), Bradley
Beal (13), Patric Young (12) and
Erik Murphy (11) also scored in
double digits for the Gators
(9-2), who extended their home
winning streak to 11.
Illinois 64, Cornell 60
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Meyers
Leonard had 19 points and a
career-high 16 rebounds to lead
No. 25 Illinois to a victory over
Cornell.
After trailing for the most of
the game, Illinois (11-1) was
sparked by D.J. Richardson’s
nine points in the second half
and narrowly avoided its second
consecutive loss.
Josh Figini scored all 14 of his
points in the first half to lead
Cornell (4-4).
Baylor 95, Paul Quinn 54
WACO, Texas — Quincy Acy
had 24 points and seven of Bay-
lor’s 17 dunks as the sixth-
ranked Bears defeated Paul
Quinn College for their 10th
consecutive victory.
Vanderbilt 99, Longwood 71
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Jeffery
Taylor scored 18 of his 29 points
in the first half, and the Vander-
bilt Commodores rebounded
hours after dropping out of the
Top 25 rankings by beating
Longwood.
Creighton 83, Tulsa 64
TULSA, Okla. — Sophomore
Doug McDermott scored a
career-high 35 points and No. 23
Creighton routed Tulsa.
WOMEN’S ROUNDUP
Gonzaga 71, Georgia 68
LAS VEGAS — Haiden Palm-
er’s 3-pointer with two-tenths of
a second left gave Gonzaga a
victory over No. 13 Georgia in a
Las Vegas Holiday Hoops Clas-
sic game.
The Bulldogs never led in the
game until Palmer pulled up
just behind the top of the key
and made her 3-pointer to cap a
22-4 run that ended the game.
Palmer had 13 of her 22 points
during the closing run.
Katelan Redmon led Gonzaga
(9-2) with 23 points and 10
rebounds. She hit 10 of her 14
shot attempts. Georgia (8-2)

The Associated Press
were dumping and the goalie was
getting it and making good
plays,” said forward Ben Street,
who had the only Penguins goal.
“We were just a little disconnect-
ed. Whenthat happens it’s impos-
sible to get any offense going.”
The Penguins managed just
five shots in the first period and
eight in the second. Even a Boris
Valabik bout with Albany’s Harry
Young couldn’t generate momen-
tum.
In the meantime, Albany
cruised along, registering 20
shots in the first two periods and
connecting once on a high wris-
ter from Mike Hoeffel that went
over Scott Munroe’s glove in the
second period.
Hynes said the upcoming
break shouldn’t be a cause for the
Penguins lack of momentum in
the first two periods.
“You shouldn’t worry about
(the break). There’s a game on
the schedule, two points on the
line and it counts just as much as
the first game backfroma break,”
he said. “It’s no excuse. We need-
ed to have a better effort in the
first 40 minutes.”
The effort did improve in the
third period when the Penguins
outshot the Devils 13-6 and got
on the board thanks to Street.
But a minute before Street con-
nected, Albany goaltender Jeff
Frazee made a spectacular playto
keep the Penguins scoreless.
After Street ripped a shot to-
ward open net, Frazee dove
across the crease and snatched
the puck out of midair to take
away what seemed like a sure
goal.
“That was a pretty good save.
He came out of nowhere and got
it,” Street said, addingthe chance
did generate momentum that
carried through the period.
Less than a minute later, Street
made sure his next shot made it
to the back of the net when he
teamed up on a two-on-one with
Colin McDonald and buried the
puck to make it 1-1 two minutes
into the period.
It was an abrupt turnaround
from the first two periods.
“The start of the third period
we had energy and looked as
thoughwe hadthe jumpwe need-
ed,” Hynes said.
After Albany scored following
a faceoff deep in the offensive
zone to take a 2-1 lead, the Pen-
guins failed to capitalize on a
power play chance in the final
two minutes, generating one
scoring chance in the process.
The Penguins power play was
0-for-5 and has connected once in
its last 21 chances.
“We got some looks, but it was
tough to get pucks through be-
cause they basically collapsed on
top of their goalie,” Street said of
the late power play chance. “It’s
pretty glaring when you have a
power play in the last two min-
utes of a one-goal game, youneed
to score.”
NOTES
- Monday’s loss was the first
against the New Jersey Devils af-
filiate in the last five seasons (14-
0-0-0). The Penguins won all
eight of their meetings against
the Devils last season.
- D Joey Mormina (injury), D
Peter Merth, LW Ryan Schnell,
RW Brian Day (injury), D Dan
Henningson and RW Keven Veil-
leux (injury) were scratched for
the Penguins.
- Paul Thompson was recalled
after a one-game stint with
Wheeling and played in Mon-
day’s game, as did D Brian Strait
and D Carl Sneep who were reas-
signed By Pittsburgh on Sunday.
Strait played in his first game
since suffering an elbow injury
with Pittsburgh early in the sea-
son. “It was a lot of backandforth
whether I was going to play in
this game, but we made the right
decisionandI got inthere,” Strait
said. “I came along as far as I
couldinthe rehabandit was time
to get bumped around a little bit
andsee howit reacts. I tooksome
hits, gave some hits and it felt
pretty good.”

BOSTON — David Krejci
scored off his skate to break a
second-period tie, and Tim
Thomas stopped 33 shots on
Monday night to lead the
Bruins to a 3-2 victory over the
Montreal Canadiens and give
Boston its fifth consecutive
win.
Benoit Pouliot and Brad
Marchand also scored for the
Bruins, who have won 19 of 22
since losing back-to-back
games to Montreal at the end
of October.
Carey Price made 28 saves
and Tomas Plekanec scored for
Montreal, which lost its third
straight game — its second in
a row since coach Jacques
Martin was fired and replaced
by Randy Cunneyworth.
The Canadiens have lost
nine of their last 12, a streak
that cost one of the NHL’s
winningest coaches his job and
left them in last place in the
Northeast Division.
Kings 3, Maple Leafs 2
TORONTO — Dustin Brown
scored the only goal of a shoo-
tout Monday and the Los An-
geles Kings wrapped up a bi-
zarre road trip with a win over
the Maple Leafs.
Maple Leafs goalie James
Reimer made 40 saves, and
Justin Williams and Brown
scored in regulation for Los
Angeles.
John-Michael Liles and Matt
Frattin scored for Toronto,
which has two wins in the last
nine games.
Stars 5, Ducks 3
DALLAS — Michael Ryder
scored the go-ahead goal at
6:42 of the third period after
Dallas had wasted a three-goal
lead, and the Stars went on to
victory over the Anaheim
Ducks.
With the game even at 3,
Ryder skated up the middle
and converted Loui Eriksson’s
setup for Ryder’s 11th of the
season.
Eric Nystrom added an in-
surance goal for Dallas at 14:19
of the third.
Dallas’ Alex Goligoski and
Mike Ribeiro scored power-
play goals over a 24-second
span in the second period.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. —
Kemba Walker opened his
NBA career with a solid
performance, shaking off a
slow start to score a game-
high 18 points — including
the go-ahead layup— to lift
the Bobcats to a 79-77 win
over the Hawks in the pre-
season opener for both
teams.
After missing eight of his
first 10 shots, including a
dunk on a fastbreak, Walker
made a 17-footer and a driv-
ing layup over two defenders
in the closing 90 seconds.
He used his quickness to
draw fouls in the lane and
shot 9 for 11 from the line.
Josh Smith and Al Horford
each scored 11 points to lead
the Hawks.

PHILADELPHIA — When
JimmyRollins hadthe chance to
go somewhere else, he just
couldn’t walk away from the
Philadelphia Phillies.
The smooth-talking, slick-
fielding shortstop has spent
nearly half his life with the same
organization, sohe turneddown
more money from the Milwau-
kee Brewers to stay in Philadel-
phia.
Rollins and the Phillies final-
ized a $33 million, three-year
contract on Monday. The deal
includes a vesting option for a
fourth year at $11 million. If not
vested, that could be a club op-
tion at $8 million or a player op-
tion at $5 million.
“You have to take everything
in consideration when you’ve
been somewhere since you were
17,” Rollins said. “To go some-
where new, at this part of my ca-
reer, you feel like a rented player
because you weren’t part of the
process of building the teamup.
“From the first day I got here
in the big leagues, it was about
making this team a contender
and then a champion. Those
things have been accomplished,
the champion part not as often
as I would’ve liked. Obviously,
when money is on the table, and
it’s guaranteed, it’s tempting.
But you think of everything else
that you’ve done and what you
will be able to do going forward
and where it makes sense for
you to do those things.”

to myself, the coaches, the teamand other peo-
ple. He’s disappointed that it got that far. But
sometimesthat doeshappen. Theguysarecom-

AccordingtoMcGloin, thedisputestartedon
the practice field when he and Drake got into a
disagreement over a pass route.
Frustration spilled over into the locker room.
McGloin said Drake approached him and
McGloin, unsure of Drake’s intentions, stoodup
to confront him.
“Maybe he said one thing -- I thought he
might have said another,” McGloin said. “We
kind of grabbed each other and kind of rolled
around up top for awhile, and I guess our mo-
mentumjust carried us to the floor."
Drake and McGloin have traded voicemails
and text messages since the incident, but as of
Monday morning had not spoken face-to-face.
McGloin said he felt the situation had been
overblown, saying that teammates "fight on a
regularbasis. Wewouldn’t evenbetalkingabout
this if I didn’t fall the wrong way and smack my
head. That’s the way I feel about it.
“In my mind, it’s over right now and we’re
gonna move on fromit."
Bradley said McGloin is considered day-to-
day but would not commit to himas the starter
for thebowl gameif heis clearedintimetoplay.
If McGloin is unavailable, sophomore Rob
in the Nittany Lions’ game against Houston in
the TicketCity Bowl on Jan. 2 in Dallas.
Though he feels fine mentally, McGloin said
hestill hasissueswithhisbalanceandvision. He
said he doesn’t believe he had ever suffered a
concussion before.
InterimcoachTomBradleysaidMcGloinand
Drake will face internal discipline from the
team. Penn State’s campus police and the uni-
versity’s Office of Judicial Affairs are investigat-
ing the matter.
Bolden would likely start in his place.
Amazingly, Bolden himself had an issue this
weekend, but it will not affect his status on the
squad.
Bolden was charged Monday with summary
retail theft for allegedly stealing a $2 bottle of
Gatoradefromanon-campus conveniencestore
on Friday.
Bradley calledit "a prank gone awry" andthe
bottle was returned unopened. The coach said
Bolden would also face punishment from the
teambut would not lose any playing time.
Bolden practiced with the first-team offense
Monday while McGloin watched fromthe side-
line in street clothes.
Walk-on Shane McGregor is the third-string
quarterback, but PennStatecouldalsohavered-
shirt freshmanPaul Jones available for the bowl
game.
Though he would be a long shot to actually
see the field against Houston, Jones would be
able to play for the first time after redshirting in
2010 and sitting out the entire 2011regular sea-
son for academic issues.
With the fall semester nowover, however, he
would no longer be ineligible provided his GPA
is high enough.
“Paul has been working hard at the academ-
ics, he’s doing a great job,” Bradley said. “I’m
proudof him. Heworks, I seehimaroundhereat
night. He’s hereall thetimedoingeverythinghe
possibly can do.”
SCUFFLE

to McGloin:
The Penn State offense was running a pass-
ing drill against the Lions defense when
McGloin threw an incomplete pass Drake’s
way.
McGloin felt his receiver ran the wrong pass
pattern, and told him about it. Drake felt
McGloin put his pass in the wrong spot.
Two wrongs don’t make a right.
The pair, who are pretty good friends off the
field, had to be separated froma physical alter-
cation by other players on the practice field.
“To be honest,” said Penn State senior wide
receiver Derek Moye, who was at fall gradua-
tion ceremonies instead of practice that day,
“you get in an argument with them, they both
can be hard-headed.”
This is no time for hot-heads at Penn State.
The school’s already reeling fromallegations
former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky
sexuallyabusedyoungboys inanongoingscan-
dal that cost legendary headcoachJoe Paterno
his job this season and caused the university’s
prestige to plummet drastically.
“With all that’s going on with this teamright
now, we don’t need another distraction,”
McGloin said.
NowtheLionshaveone, withareceivercom-
ingat theirsignal callerwithamessagethat he’s
the one who’s mixed up.
MaybetheLions haven’t hadtimetodevelop
completetrust intheguytakingsnaps, because
McGloin spent the first half of this season as a
backup splitting time with fellow quarterback
Rob Bolden.
But as a former high school quarterback,
Drake should knowthe importance of respect-
ing the leadership of whoever’s playing the
quarterback position.
When the quarterback scolds, you’re sup-
posed to go with it.
NFL quarterbacks such as Tony Romo, Eli
ManningandTomBradycall out theirreceivers
regularly.
They don’t normally end up in a wrestling
matchonthelocker roomfloor. Until thisweek-
end, neither had McGloin.
“Not really. Everybody usually stays away
fromme,” McGloin said.
Not Drake.
“We didn’t let it go,” McGloin said.
Their disagreement carried over into the
locker roomafter practice, whereMcGloinsaid
he was sitting down when he saw Drake ap-
proaching him.
“I’mnot going to back down,” McGloin said.
“Hesaidonething, Ithoughthemighthavesaid
another. We kind of pulled each other.”
Both went down, as McGloin bruised his
shoulder and suffered a seizure during the fall
whenhehit hisheadonthethincarpet covering
concrete.
The concussion McGloin received in the
scuffle could keep himout of the Jan. 2 Ticket-
City Bowl against Houston, depending onhow
quickly he can regain clear vision and get his
balance back.
Suddenly, regainingstabilityisn’t about what
happens on the field with Penn State anymore.
It’s what goes on away fromit.

PSU saga sports story of year
NEW YORK — The ouster of one of
America’s most revered coaches, Penn
State’s Joe Paterno, after shocking child
sex abuse charges against his former
assistant has been overwhelmingly voted
the sports story of the year by members of
The Associated Press.
There were 214 ballots submitted from
U.S. news organizations that make up the
AP’s membership. The voters were asked to
rank the top 10 sports stories of the year,
with the first-place story getting 10 points,
the second-place story receiving nine
points, and so on.
The Penn State saga received 2,044
points and 172 first-place votes. The No. 2
story — labor strife in the NFL and NBA —
had 15 first-place votes and 1,345 points.
of a timeframe for a decision by the com-
mittee. Erickson and Joyner will have the
final say on the job.
“They’ve kept this pretty close to the
vest,” Bradley said. “I’m excited they gave
me the opportunity to interview. I got to
say what I wanted to say, and that’s all I can
askfor -- beinggiventhe opportunitytotalk
to them.”
The sheer length of the coaching search
has had a negative impact on the program’s
recruiting class.
Three players who had given verbal com-
mitments to Penn State -- J.P. Holtz, Joey
O’Connor and the team’s highest-rated
recruit, Tommy Schutt -- have publicly said
they will be looking elsewhere. Schutt has
already switched his commitment to Ohio
State.
The Buckeyes and new coach Urban
Meyer -- hired just a few days after the end
of the regular season -- also landed Bishop
McDevitt standout Noah Spence over the
weekend. Spence, one of the country’s top
defensive ends, had been considered a
Penn State lean before the Jerry Sandusky
scandal broke.
Eugene Lewis, formerly of Wyoming Val-
ley West and nowat Meyers, has said he re-
mains committed to Penn State and will
wait and see who the coach will be before
making a final decision. National signing
day is Feb. 1. Bradley admittedthat the staff
has been hamstrung by the current situa-
tion.
“Well, it’s affected it a little bit,” Bradley
said. “We’ve been honest, we’ve been open,
we’ve been transparent about everything.
And I think that’s what they’re waiting for
now -- at some point for them to name a
head coach and see what direction they
want to go.
“Because we’ve told all these young men
that you’ve gotta govisit some other places,
keep your options open until you see what
happens here. We have been completely
honest about that.”
Current Penn State players said they
have not had any significant input in the
search.
“Naturally, you would like somebody to
get the job from within the program,” tail-
back Silas Redd said. “But I’m committed
to PennState andwilling to play for whoev-
er they bring in. … I would understand if
they decided to hire a coach from the out-
side.”
Infirmary report
Matt McGloin isn’t the only Penn State
player missing practice for fears of a con-
cussion.
Senior safety Nick Sukay was also in
street clothes on Monday and said he is not
clearedtopractice yet until he passes a con-
cussion test. Penn State said Sukay took a
hit in practice on Sunday that put him out
of action.
In a separate matter, Bradley said he ex-
pects the Lions will “be without some peo-
ple (for the bowl game) because of academ-
ics.
“I’mnot sure howmany yet, nor canI dis-
close of it because that’s an academic sit-
uation.”

STATE COLLEGE — Joe Pa-
terno has been released from
the hospital and has shown im-
provement after being treated
for lung cancer, a person close
to the former Penn State
coach’s family said Monday.
ESPN, citing an anonymous
source, first reported Paterno’s
release.
Paterno’s tumor was show-
ing substantial reduction fol-
lowing radiation and chemo-
therapy, according to the per-
son who spoke on condition of
anonymity Monday to The As-
sociated Press due to the fam-
ily’s desire for privacy. He was
released Sunday.
Paterno, who turns 85 on
Wednesday, was admitted last
week after breaking his pelvis
again in a fall at home. Doctors
kept him hospitalized to make
it easier to administer cancer
treatments while he recovered
from the fracture.
He initially injured his pelvis
and right shoulder in August
after getting blindsided acci-
dentally by a receiver during
preseason practice. The inju-
ries kept Paterno in the press
box most of the season before
trustees fired him Nov. 9 in the
aftermath of child sex abuse
charges against retired assist-
ant coach Jerry Sandusky.

Lipitor sales plummet
New data show sales of cholesterol
blockbuster Lipitor plunged by half
barely a week after the world’s top-
selling drug got its first U.S. generic
competition.
That’s despite a very aggressive
effort by Lipitor maker Pfizer Inc. to
keep patients on its pill, which once
generated sales of $13 billion a year.
Pfizer has been contracting with insur-
ance plans to subsidize both patient
copayments and costs for insurers, to
keep their costs at or below what ge-
neric Lipitor would cost.
Lipitor lost U.S. patent protection on
Nov. 30, and two generic versions cost-
ing about one-third less are now avail-
able.
Drugmakers team up
Amgen Inc., a maker of biologic
drugs for cancer, kidney disease and
rheumatoid arthritis, says it’s part-
nering with Watson Pharmaceuticals
Inc., which makes both generic med-
icines and branded drugs, to produce
“biosimilar” versions of several biologic
medicines for cancer.
Biologic drugs are complex, injected
drugs “manufactured” in living cells,
and are very expensive. Biosimilar
versions are expected to be cheaper.
Builders less gloomy
The National Association of Home
Builders/Wells Fargo builder senti-
ment index rose two points to 21 in
December. That’s the highest level
since May 2010 and just the second
time the index has been at 20 or above
in two years.
The index hasn’t reached 50, which
indicates positive sentiment, since
April 2006, the peak of the housing
boom.
Last year, the number of people who
bought new homes fell to its lowest
level on records going back nearly a
half-century. The figure for 2011 will be
close to that level.
Britain tightens bank rules
The British government says it will
legislate sweeping changes in banking
regulation aimed at protecting the
economy from excessive risk. New
regulations would be enacted by 2015
and effective in 2019.
Treasury chief George Osborne said
the plans include the separation of
retail banking from riskier investment
banking.

MARY TAYLOR’S MAKES COMEBACK
PETE G. WILCOX/THE TIMES LEADER
M
ary Taylor’s Hair & Skin Care stylist Paula Ciaverella cuts the hair of Hanover Township Commissioner
George Bowers in the salon at 2310 Sans Souci Parkway. The salon and next-door Curry’s Donuts held
a grand reopening on Saturday to celebrate their recovery after being flooded in September.
As the first phone to
run “Ice Cream Sand-
wich,” the latest ver-
sion of Google’s An-
droid operating sys-
tem, the Samsung
Nexus Prime is one of
the most anticipated
phones of the year.
One thing I’ve always liked about
Samsung is how it manages to make
its devices light without seeming flim-
sy, and the Nexus is no exception.
Despite being a light phone, it feels
sturdy and well-balanced.
As with all 4G phones, the Nexus
requires a SIM chip to operate. Some
users might find the lack of an SD card
reader annoying, but most people will
find the 32GB of onboard storage
adequate.
The Nexus fea-
tures a 5 megapixel
rear-facing camera
and a 1.3 megapixel
front-facing camera.
While the specs
seem below par, the
pictures the camera shoots are remark-
ably crisp -- and, more importantly,
there is no lag between tapping the
button and snapping the picture.
There’s also a very intuitive “Pano-
rama Mode” that provides dynamic
feedback to help users capture a flaw-
less 360-degree photo.
The 4.65-inch display offers true
high-definition
resolution at
1280x720
@316ppi, and
has an ex-
tremely wide
viewing angle.
It also is incredibly crisp.
The Nexus Prime is powered by a
dual-core 1.2Ghz processor.
The operating system is a departure
from previous versions of the Android
OS. It brings in some of the concepts
pioneered by the tablet-based versions
of the platform.
The Samsung Nexus does not sport
the Samsung “TouchWiz” interface,
but what I found to be a “vanilla” se-
lection of widgets, all of which can be
easily supplemented at the app store.
Also, the Nexus offers near-field
communication capabilities in the
form of Android Beam that allow two
equipped devices to send information
back and forth very quickly with less
complication than Bluetooth. There’s
facial recognition technology for cam-
era focus and security; it was possible
to fool the screen lock with a picture.
If you’re tech savvy, the Nexus is
pretty cool. If you’re just in the market
for a competent high-end smartphone,
there are more powerful devices avail-
able, but none currently packs the
gadgetry of the Nexus.
With a two-year contract, the Nexus
costs $299.99.
Without, it will set you back
$649.99.

NEW YORK — It’s been 30 years
since gasoline tooksucha bigbite out of
the family budget.
When the gifts fromGrandma are un-
loaded and holiday travel is over, the
typical American household will have
spent $4,155 filling up this year, a re-
cord. That is 8.4 percent of what the
median family takes in, the highest
share since 1981.
Gas averaged more than $3.50 a gal-
lon this year, another unfortunate re-
cord. And next year isn’t likely to bring
relief.
In the past, high gas prices in the
United States have gone hand-in-hand
with economic good times, making
them less damaging to family finances.
Now prices are high despite slow eco-
nomic growth and weak demand.
That’s because demand for crude oil
is risingglobally, especiallyinthe devel-
oping nations of Asia and Latin Amer-
ica. But it puts the squeeze on the U.S.,
where unemployment is high and many
people whohave jobs aren’t gettingrais-
es.
In 1981, when the economy was slid-
ing into recession and oil prices were
high because of Middle East turmoil,
gas ate up8.8 percent of the typical fam-
ily budget, says Fred Rozell of the Oil
Price Information Service.
Over the past decade, gas has taken
up 5.7 percent of the family budget. If
families had spent only 5.7 percent this
year, they would have saved $1,300.
For this year, gas should average
$3.53 per gallon. That’s 76 cents more
than last year. It’s 29 cents per gallon
more than2008, whengas last set anan-
nual record, $3.24.

STOCKHOLM—After six decades of
building cars known for their teardrop
designs and quirky features, cash-
strapped Saab Automobile gave up its
desperate struggle for a lifeline Monday
and filed for bankruptcy.
Saab CEOVictor Muller said “the last
nail in the coffin” was previous owner
General Motors’ rejection of a Chinese
company’s attempts to gain control of
the ailingSwedishbrand. Muller person-
allyhandedover thebankruptcypetition
to a Swedish court, which approved it
late Monday.
Analysts said Saab’s troubles under-
line how difficult it is for a small, niche
carmaker to survive in today’s compet-
itive global market.
“I think it does kind of reflect the sit-
uation in the industry that scale is every-
thing,” said IHS Automotive analyst Ian
Fletcher. “Everyone else have been
snapped up ... Saab unfortunately were
the last people waiting to dance with
someone and they didn’t have the right
partner.”

The weather will
be unsettled this
week as a series
of low pressure
systems moves
through the
Great Lakes, Mid-
Atlantic and
Northeast
Regions. Today
will feature some
morning sun-
shine followed
by increasing
clouds. That's
because a low
pressure system
is approaching
from the south-
west. The storm
will produce a
wintry mix
(snow, sleet and
rain) for our area
tonight. We don't
expect a lot of
snow, but it will
make the roads
icy in spots, so
be careful driv-
ing. As the storm
moves north-
east, it will pull
warmer air from
the south,
changing the
snow and sleet
to rain overnight.
By Wednesday, it
should be just
rain.
- Kurt Aaron
NATIONAL FORECAST: A storm system will produce rain and thunderstorms from the Mid- and Lower
Mississippi Valleys into the Ohio Valley and portions of the Southeast today. Some of these storms
may be strong to severe. Rain, freezing rain, sleet and snow will be seen behind this system from the
central Plains into parts of the Upper Midwest.

Bayada Nurses office recognized
The Bayada Nurses office in
Pittston was included in the 2011
Home Care Elite ranking, a compi-
lation of the top-performing Medi-
care-certified home health care
providers in the United States. The

formance measures in quality of
care, process measure implementa-
tion, and financial performance.
This is the third consecutive year
that the Pittston office has been
recognized with this honor.
Tips to avoid holiday stress
Dr. Stephen Paolucci, chairman,
division of psychiatry at Geisinger
Health System, offers the follow-
ing tips to manage and reduce
holiday stress:
• Be realistic and stay positive.
The holidays don’t have to be
perfect.
• Stick to a budget. Decide how
much you can afford to spend
before you go shopping.
• Plan ahead. Set aside days for
shopping, baking and visiting to
prevent over-extending yourself.
• Maintain healthy habits. Have
a healthy snack before holiday
parties and don’t go overboard on
sweets. Overindulgence adds to
stress and guilt.
• Exercise and rest. Exercise is
one of the quickest ways to boost
your mood.
• Take time for yourself. Find
something that reduces stress such
as a walk or listening to music.

Q: Just for fun, could
you speculate on what
health problems Santa
Claus might have?
—Anonymous,
Philadelphia
A: Since I’m not the
personal physician for
the “jolly big guy”, this is all pure med-
ical conjecture. But given his advanced
age, occupational hazards and obvious
obesity, he might be dealing with a
number of chronic medical conditions.
Starting at the head, he’s probably
already dealt with cataracts and has
some degree of hearing loss given his
advanced age. He probably also has a
bit of age-related atrophy of the brain
(which explains his need for numerous
personal assistants at the North Pole).
Given his obesity, I wouldn’t be the
least bit surprised if his personal physi-
cian has him on medication for hyper-
tension, diabetes and high cholesterol.
He also has probably dealt with benign
prostate enlargement, and I wouldn’t be
the least bit surprised if he’s had a sur-
gical procedure for that at some point.
After all, it’s a long trip around the
world. Osteoarthritis of his knees, hips
and low back are probably likely given
the weight of Santa’s sack of toys and
climbing from chimney to chimney all
over the world. The extreme cold, dry
air of the North Pole may cause a bit of
asthma as well as a case of eczema.
But chronic health problems aside,
he’s a seemingly jolly old soul who
never seems to fail to deliver on his
promise of toys to children throughout
the world. I expect him to be medically
fit to conduct his Santa duties for as
long as there are children who believe
in the magic of Christmas.
Q: What is your opinion on taking
vitamin E as a supplement? What is the
best dose and form of it to take?
— R.F., Winter Park, Fla.
A: I don’t recommend it. Not only
does the research show that vitamin E
fails to reduce the risk of cancer and
heart disease, but there are now studies
showing a possible increased risk of
prostate and lung cancer with vitamin
E supplementation. Despite the theo-
retical belief that the antioxidant vita-
min E might reduce the risk of certain
forms of cancer, the compelling results
of the 10 year National Cancer Insti-
tute/NIH-funded Women’s Health
Study of vitamin E and low-dose aspirin
on cancer and cardiovascular disease
prevention found no statistical risk
reduction in overall cancer incidence,
or breast, lung and colon cancer indi-
vidually. This study involved nearly
40,000 healthy women aged 45 years
and older who were randomly assigned
to receive 600 IU of vitamin E or place-
bo and 100mg of aspirin or placebo
every other day for an average of 10
years.
While their findings certainly are
powerful, it left the question of whether
vitamin E might still have some benefit
in men. Well, the recent Select trial,
involving 35,000 participants, found a
17 percent increase in prostate cancer
in men who took vitamin E supple-
ments over the 10-year study.
The VITAL study involving 77,126
men and women found that vitamin E
supplementation was associated with a
slightly increased risk of lung cancer.
It appears that at best, vitamin E
does not protect against cancer; at
worst, it may increase one’s risk of
cancer. Other than natural food sources
of vitamin E and that present in a daily
multivitamin, I’d stay clear of taking
extra vitamin E.

f ever you need incentive to wash the dishes after a holi-
day feast, consider what a little sudsing might do for
your hips. Activity — whether through the gym, sports
or household chores —is your best friend during the glutto-
nous holidays, thekeytoindulginginpumpkintoffeecheese-
cake without looking or feeling like one yourself.
The American Council on Exer-
ciseafewyears agoestimatedtheav-
erageholidaydinner packs 3,000cal-
ories and 229 grams of fat. Add in
the snacking and drinking you do
throughout the day, and you’ve in-
gested about 4,500 calories, the
council said —a sure path to weight
gain, as 3,500 calories makes a
pound, and the average person hop-
ing to maintain their weight is sup-
posed to consume 2,000 calories
(for women) or 2,500 (for men) a
day (though that varies by height,
weight and activity level).
So what does it take to burn it off?
Fighting the turkey coma and get-
ting your butt off the couch is a good
start. After that, any number of ac-
tivities, from the vigorous to the
mundane, can melt calories.
Take cooking, which requires re-
aching, bending and mixing. If
you’re the one slaving in the kitchen
all day, you really can earn yourself a
slice of pie (though mind the mind-
less grazing).
Here’s a list of some popular holi-
dayfare, withthe amount of exercise
you’d have to do to burn it off.

mation is based on recipes on the

tutes in most of the recipes, so your

Some cereal no more healthy

By ANDREA WALKER
The Baltimore Sun
See CEREAL, Page 3C
Sugary breakfast choices
such as Apple Jacks can be
troublesome.
Kids aren’t always forthcoming
about pain, and symptoms can
be subtle — much subtler than
limping, swelling or bleeding. To
catch problems early, “parents
should pay more attention to
any changes, not just obvious
signs of injury,” says Dr. David
Geier, an orthopedic surgeon
and director of sports medicine
at Medical University of South
Carolina.
Some red flags:
• Change in technique. Young
athletes might make minor
changes to their motion or form
to work around pain. You also
might notice a drop in perform-
ance level.
• Difficulty sitting. Kids with knee
pain might have trouble keeping
their leg bent continuously —
sitting in a car or movie theater,
for example — and often will feel
better if they straighten it out
or walk around. Going up and
down stairs also may hurt.
• Behavioral changes. Inability to
sleep, mood swings and lack of
appetite can be the first signs
that a child is sore, which may
keep a sport from being en-
joyable and possibly contribute
to mental burnout.
• Headaches. If a headache devel-
ops after any blow to the head —
even a seemingly insignificant
blow — don’t ignore it. Kids with
pain that persists after a head
injury should see a doctor be-
fore trying to play again. They
also need medical attention for
headaches that occur during or
after exercise.
• Unusual comments about a
sport. "I don’t like pitching
anymore" might really mean,
"My arm hurts when I pitch."
Ask questions to find out why a
child feels that way.
• Low back pain. Activities that
stress the back, including foot-
ball, gymnastics and weight-
lifting, can gradually damage
bones in the spine. Stretching,
strengthening exercises,
rest and breaks from a
sport can help.

BLOOD DRIVES
The woman — in her 80s —
hadn’t spoken in months. The
nursing home staff figured she
had lost the ability. But after six
silent months of regular massage
sessions, massage therapist
Dawn Nelson heard a soft voice
utter: “That feels good.”
Nelson, author of “From the
Heart Through the Hands” and
creator of the program “Compas-
sionate Touch For Those in Later
Life Stages,” says massage has
improved quality of life for many
older, not-so-mobile clients.
In addition to boosting circula-
tion, easing stress and relieving
aches and pains, all important
physiologically for people who
don’t move around much, mas-
sage bestows a basic human need
the elderly often go without:
touch.
“Just like at the beginning of
life, when you’re not touched,
you don’t thrive,” said Nelson,
who works with older people
who are isolated in their homes
or living in institutionalized care.
While extensive research has
shown that massaging infants
benefits their development, par-
ticularly inpremature babies, few
studies have explored the impact
of massage on the elderly.
One study, publishedin1998 in
the Journal of Applied Gerontol-
ogy, found that elderly people
who massaged infants experi-
enced less stress, improved
mood and fewer trips to the doc-
tor.
Researchers believe massage,
and touch generally, can streng-
then the immune systemby stim-
ulating pressure receptors under
the skin, which in turn reduces
the stress hormone cortisol, the
chief culprit in killing natural dis-
ease-fighting cells, said Tiffany
Field, director of the Touch Re-
search Institute at the University
of Miami School of Medicine.
Without touch, studies on mon-
keys have shown, there’s a rise in
aggression.
But elderly people, who could
use the immune-boosting bene-
fits of touch the most, are getting
it the least.
“There’s a lot of isolation in-
volved when you’re no longer
working or driving,” said Sharon
Puszko, owner and educator at
Day-Break Geriatric Massage In-
stitute, which teaches health pro-
fessionals safe massage tech-
niques for elderly clients. “There
are lots of people who are alone,
whose grandchildren are grown
and aren’t in town to give kisses.”
Some assisted living facilities
arrange for massage therapists
for their residents, but it’s “not
something that’s being incorpo-
rated as much as it should be or
could be,” said Tara Cortes, exec-
utive director of the Hartford In-
stitute for Geriatric Nursing at
New York University.
Family members and friends
can provide the touch that’s lack-
ing. Because aged skin gets thin
and bruises easily, any massage
administered to the elderly must
be gentle; sometimes all it takes
is barely caressing a person’s
skin, Cortes said.
“We do know that just the
touching of a person to another
person, just the warmness, cre-
ates asenseof calmness andsecu-
rity,” Cortes said.
More than just chatting, play-
ing games or evenholding hands,
giving focused, attentive touch
establishes an intimate, nurtur-
ing bond that expresses caring,
Nelson said. She has seen it ease
the symptoms of touch depriva-
tion, such as grouchiness, irrita-
bility, and a lack of interest in life
and people. In people with de-
mentia, she said, it helps ground
them in physical reality.
“For me the miraculous part is
drawinga personout of his shell,”
Nelson said. “Because otherwise
they just curl into a little ball, and
their skin dries up, their mind
dries up.”
Licensed massage therapist
Sharon Puszko offered four exer-
cises a lay person can do on an ol-
der, not-so-mobile loved one.
Arms and legs: Wrap both
hands around the person’s wrist,
and gently compress and release.
Work your way up the arm with
the same compress-and-release
motion. Do the same for the legs,
starting at the ankle and moving
upward. Always massage toward
the heart.
Hands: Using your thumbs,
massage the palms of the hands
with circular strokes. Work your
way up each finger with the
squeeze-and-release motion
mentioned above. Don’t massage
the top of the hand, as that skin is
particularly thin. And don’t pull
the fingers, as that can hurt peo-
ple with osteoporosis.
Feet: Using your thumbs, mas-
sagethesoles of thefeet inanout-
ward circular motion. This helps
loosen up the connective tissue
and widen the plantar surface,
which can tighten when people
don’t walk much.
Back and shoulders: Place the
palm of your hand in the sacrum
area at the base of the spine, and
make circles on the muscles on
either side of the spine (don’t
massage bone), working your
way up to the shoulders. If your
loved one is seated, have them
lean forward slightly, with a pil-
low in his lap.
You’re not aiming to give the
knot-grinding, tension-relieving
massage younger people seek.
Aging skin is thin and prone to
tearing and bruising, so err on
the side of very gentle. A 20- to
30-minute session one to three
times a week is sufficient.
Use a nonsticky massage lo-
tion.
Knowyour loved one’s medica-
tions andhealthissues. Peopleon
blood thinners may bruise more
easily. People with diabetes
might have neuropathy and
might not know if their feet hurt
frompressure. People withosteo-
porosis may have more sensitive
bones. If you have concerns, ask
the doctor.
Get permission. If your loved
one is resistant, put lotion on
your own hands and ask if they’d
like some on their own. Lotion-
ing hands, gently, is a good first
step.
Avoid massaging around open
wounds. If there’s pain, stop.

Massage can improve the quality of life for many older, not-so-
mobile clients.
Gentle massage helps older
people with low mobility
improve in body and mind.
By ALEXIA ELEJALDE-RUIZ
Chicago Tribune
Anewstudy fromJohns Hop-
kins shows that there is little
benefit to imaging patients’
backs before treating their pain
with an epidural steroid injec-
tion.
MRIs are routine before the
injections, the most common
procedure performed at the na-
tion’s pain clinics, but they do
little more than add time and
money to treatment, the study
suggested.
“If we’re trying to cut back on
unnecessary medical costs, we
should stop routinely doing
MRIs on almost everyone who
comes to us needing (such in-
jections),” said study leader
Dr. Steven P. Cohen, an associ-
ate professor of anesthesiology
and critical care medicine at
the Hopkins School of Medi-
cine, said in a statement.
The study, published in the
Archives of Internal Medicine,
found MRIs do not generally
avert procedures, lower risks
or improve outcomes — the in-
jections are a short-termfix and
don’t work on everyone. And an
MRI costs roughly $1,500.
Cohen studied patients be-
ing treated for sciatica at pain
clinics around the country.
With the condition, a nerve at
the bottom of the spinal co-
lumn is pinched and the patient
has severe pain and tingling in
the lower back and down the
leg. Injections reduce inflam-
mation near the source of the
pain.
One group had images to
help inform the treatment, and
the other group was treated
based on a physical exam and a
description of the pain. The
treatment barely varied be-
tween the groups, probably be-
cause there isn’t always a con-
nection between an abnormal
MRI finding and symptoms.
And after three months, the pa-
tients reported no difference in
how they felt.
MRIs not needed before injections for back pain
By MEREDITH COHN
The Baltimore Sun
The study, published in
the Archives of Internal
Medicine, found MRIs do
not generally avert
procedures, lower risks
or improve outcomes —
the injections are a
short-term fix and don’t
work on everyone.

Chef and registered dietitian
Rebecca Cameron, owner of hau-
tenutrition.com, offered ideas for
making each of these holiday fa-
vorites healthier.
Eggnog
Calories: 201 Fat: 13g (7g sat-
urated) Sodium: 71mg
Burn it off: 23 minutes of touch
football or
47 minutes of bowling
Health tip: If you’re buying
from the store, a soy nog or light
eggnog trims calories and fat
considerably. If you’re making
fromscratch, findarecipethat us-
es nonfat milk, fat-free half-and-
half and fewer egg yolks. You can
compensate with a thickener like
cornstarch or vanilla pudding
mix and a flavoring agent like va-
nilla extract, citrus zest and cin-
namon or nutmeg.
Potato Pancakes
Calories: 113 Fat: 4g (1g sat-
urated) Sodium: 142mg
Burn it off: 13 minutes of mod-
erate biking (11-15 mph) or
56 minutes of washing dishes
Health tip: Try baking the
latkes instead of frying. You can
also use sweet potatoes instead
of baking potatoes or add roasted
vegetables, cauliflower or zucchi-
ni to the pancakes to increase nu-
trients and fiber.
Roast Turkey and Stuffing
Calories: 392 Fat: 19g (5g sat-
urated) Sodium: 343
Burn it off: 35 minutes of run-
ning(6mph, a10-minute mile) or
53 minutes of brisk walking
Health tip: Remove the skin
and stick to white meat, which
will reduce the fat by about 3
grams per 3 ounces of meat. For
the stuffing, try substituting half
the butter with applesauce, and
instead of pork sausage try tur-
key sausage.
Mashed Potatoes and Gravy
(Made with butter-flavored
sprinkles instead of real but-
ter)
Calories: 201 Fat:
Burn it off: 23 min-
utes on the elliptical
trainer or 54 min-
utes of vacuuming
Health tip: Cook po-
tatoes in chicken broth in-
stead of water for more fla-
vor, or try a more flavor-
ful potato like Yukon
Gold, caribe or purple
potato. Save calories
by using half mashed po-
ups or 31 minutes of beginner Pi-
lates
Health tip: Try a low-sodium,
low-fat mushroom soup and use
caramelized onions instead of
fried onions. If the recipe calls for
heavy cream, swap it out for fat-
free half-and-half or decrease the
amount of butter used in the reci-
pe.
Classic Gingerbread Man
Cookie
Calories: 58 Fat: 2g (1g saturat-
ed)
Sodium: 41mg
Burn it off: 5 minutes of jump-
ing rope or 40 minutes of sexual
activity
Health tip: You could replace
some of the butter or shortening
with applesauce or prune puree.
Or try slightly lighter ginger-
bread biscotti. Or just have a coo-
kie and watch your portion size.

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 have
been married for
13 years to a good
guy who is a great
dad. We have two
boys, ages 9 and 11.
The problem is, we
don’t communicate.
We hardly have sex and we don’t get
along at all.
I have sacrificed physical and emo-
tional intimacy so my kids can have
both parents in their lives full-time.
When I think of writing down my
husband’s attributes, all I can think of
is that he’s a good dad, good worker
and helps out around the house.
Am I selfish? Should I just smother
my emotions and go on like I have
been all these years?
— Unfulfilled in Georgia
Dear Unfulfilled: It’s not selfish to
want emotional and physical intimacy
with another person. It’s normal, and
your husband may miss it, too.
There’s an alternative to ending
your marriage, and that is fighting
to save it. It would require effort
from both of you and the services of
a licensed marriage counselor. Why
not suggest to your husband that
you make it your first New Year’s
resolution?
Dear Abby: Right now I’m so tired
I can hardly write this letter ask-
ing for advice I need. I work the 11
p.m.-7 a.m. shift at a prison. Because
I’m home during the day, everyone
assumes I am available to socialize.
How do I get through to them that
I sleep during the day and work at
night? A lot of people — includ-
ing my husband — will say to me,
“What? You’re not up YET?” when I
have been asleep for only three hours.
I have thought about calling these
people from work at 2 a.m. asking,
“Aren’t you up YET?” Then they
might get the picture. What do you
think?
— Working a 40-Hour Week at Age 73
Dear Working: The insensitivity of
the folks in your circle is surprising.
And as for your husband, did you
marry someone who is sadistic or
selfish? Tell him that if he wants to
enjoy the benefits of your paycheck,
he will have to make sure you get
enough sleep to earn one.
When people call or come by and
disturb your rest, tell them plainly
you do not want to be disturbed be-
fore a certain time. Then turn off your
phone, let callers leave messages on
your voicemail and return them when
you’re fully awake.
Dear Abby: Christmas is fast ap-
proaching. Our family get-together
consists of a crazy celebration where
we draw numbers and choose a gift in
numerical order. If we want, we can
choose a gift that someone already
has.
I’d like your opinion on re-gifting.
Each year some family members just
bring the gift they received last year,
rewrapped. I think if someone doesn’t
care enough to shop for a $20 gift for
a family exchange, it takes away from
the idea of gift-giving. What do you
think?
— Jim in Amarillo, Texas
Dear Jim: I think you should find
your sense of humor where you
misplaced it, and stop looking a gift
horse in the mouth. The kind of party
you describe is done for laughs, and
none of the gifts is selected with one
specific person in mind.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Husband who is a great father has little else to give to his wife
To receive a collection of Abby’s most
memorable — and most frequently re-
quested — poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus
check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in
Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box
447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage
is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You will
befriend the friendless. Those
who have been displaced or who
are just wandering through will
find a tender heart in you. You’ll
bring out the best qualities in
others.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). As long
as your expectations are reason-
able and your to-do list is realis-
tic and manageable, it will be a
fine day for executing a series of
successful undertakings.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The
demands of your personal life
are steep lately, and it might also
be hard for you to see why your
efforts matter. Friendships are
important, but so is your sanity.
Pull back. Strive for balance.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Having
a pleasant time with a loved one
will not bring you as close as the
shared thrill of risk and adven-
ture. That’s why an element of
danger will be just the bonding
agent you crave.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll have a
choice between investing in your
life experiences and investing
in material goods. Choose the
former. The memories you make
and the self-esteem you build
will outlast possessions.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll
tell people what’s in your heart.
Many would consider this to be
a difficult undertaking, but there
are times when you’re so over-
come with feeling that it’s the
easiest thing.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are
usually comforted by patterns,
and you easily sync your person-
al rhythms to the routines of life.
However, today you will benefit
from a pattern interruption.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll
raise your self-esteem by taking
on a challenge. Whether or not
you succeed will be irrelevant.
You’ll stretch, grow and think a
little more of yourself through
each part of your process.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
You don’t have to be involved
with a nonprofit, church or char-
ity in order to uplift humanity.
Today you’ll make a difference
by giving your warmth, a listen-
ing ear and a smile.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Someone wants to know about
your process. Whether this is
about a recipe, a way of working
or a method of organizing your
life, be judicious in the sharing of
information.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll
be of great help and guidance.
Others are depending on you —
especially someone you know
who is confused. This one needs
to stop asking questions and
stand in what is known.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). While
you take the time to speculate,
someone else rushes in to seize
the moment. The early bird may
get the worm, but the second
mouse gets the cheese.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 20).
Wherever you go this year, you’ll
make it your goal to bring joy to
others and to find joy there, too.
You have new passion and pur-
pose for your work in January.
June is like one long social
experiment. You’ll be involved
with a group whose ideas you
can really stand behind in May.
Taurus and Leo people adore
you. Your lucky numbers are: 49,
3, 31, 20 and 15.

tions to be selected as School District

written statement of interest and the inter-
view, the Hazleton Area School District
Board of Education will approve an engi-
neering firm to serve as School District

the PA Department of Transportation for
federal-aid transportation related work.

of interest and re-advertise for new state-
ments of interest.

est will be published in (3) local newspa-
