After towing ditched vehicles from a snow-covered Interstate 81, Derrigos Service Center tow-truck drivers crowd into the dispatch shack on Route 180 near Sackets Harbor.
The lake-effect storm that has pummeled Jefferson and Lewis counties for more than 24 hours has raised havoc with transportation. Numerous roads had to be closed because of motor vehicle accidents, according to DOT Region 7 public information ofcer Michael R. Flick. If you dont have to travel, dont, he said. Stay home. State officials barricaded Interstate 81 from Mexico, in Oswego County, all the way north to Exit 48 Tuesday night. Troopers are now getting remaining vehicles off I-81, said Trooper David D. Delgado around 7 p.m. Tuesday. Counties kept no-unnecessary-travel advisories in effect. For residents of the village of West Carthage, the decision whether to travel was out of
their hands, as Mayor Scott M. Burto issued a state of emergency, a travel curfew and a parking curfew. During the curfew, which began at 7 p.m. Tuesday, all travel except for essential emergency vehicles and personnel is barred until 6 a.m. today. Parking on village streets also has been prohibited during the same period. Residents who did venture out Tuesday encountered multiple road closures. Route 11 northbound in the town of Adams was closed for 2 hours, and reopened at 1:15 p.m. Route 193 in Ellisburg between Hammon Road and Allerd Road was closed for nearly six hours, and reopened shortly after 6 p.m. Mr. Flick said Route 283 southbound between Route 342 and the See ROADS A4
It wasnt quite a blizzard, but it sure came close. Virtually all activity in Jefferson and Lewis counties came to a standstill Tuesday as the lakeeffect storm dumped nearly 2 feet of snow in Watertown as of Tuesday evening and carried winds nearing 30 mph, closing schools, businesses and roads. Whiteout conditions on the highways even forced snowplows to a halt in many communities, and dozens of stranded motorists, along with employees who couldnt make it home from work, lled local hotel rooms. The shutdown of most business could extend as late as Thursday as the storm lingers. The National Weather Service predicted up to an additional foot of snow could fall in Watertown by Thursday morning, while more than 4 feet of additional snow could hit parts of the Tug Hill Plateau. In an effort to reduce fatigue, road crews were brought in from Syracuse and Utica to lend a hand. We still have some crews out, state Department of Transportation Region 7 public information ofcer Michael R. Flick said Tuesday evening. Were going to keep pressing on through the night. The Jefferson County Highway Department had to delay snowplowing about 1:30 p.m. Tuesday for intermittent periods, as bursts of wind and snow made the job impossible, according to Jefferson County Fire and Emergency ManageSee WINTER A4

NASA images show distant stars

HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE: Galaxies 20 times fainter than ever pictured revealed
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Galaxies in the Abell 2744 cluster, and blue galaxies behind it, are distorted and amplied by gravitational lensing.
WASHINGTON The Hubble Space Telescope has peered back to a chaotic time 13.2 billion years ago when never-before-seen galaxies were tiny, bright blue and full of stars bursting to life all over the place. Thanks to some complex physics tricks, NASAs aging telescope is just starting to see the universe at its infancy in living color and detail. Images released by NASA on Tuesday show galaxies that are 20 times fainter than those pictured before. They are from a new campaign to have the 23-year-old Hubble gaze much earlier and farther away than it was designed to see. I like to call it cosmic dawn,
Hubble astronomer Jennifer Lotz said at the American Astronomical Society convention in Washington. Its when the lights are coming on. It was a time when star formation was ramping up, and it was far more hectic than now. Imagine if you went back 500 million years after the Big Bang and looked around in the sky, astronomer Garth Illingworth of the University of California Santa Cruz said. Galaxies are closer. Theyre smaller. Theyre bright blue and theyre everywhere ... They are probably blobby, small, nothing like our Milky Way. There were probably no metals at this time, no Earths, said Illingworth, who was on the scientic team using Hubble.
Things look clumpy and kind of weird, Lotz said. Most of the galaxies then were close to 1,000 times smaller than our Milky Way, but astronomers said they were surprised to discover a few brighter, bigger galaxies sparkling out there. These rst pictures showed nearly 3,000 galaxies. Astronomers are still trying to gure out which of those galaxies are ancient and which are more recent. Because light travels nearly 6 trillion miles a year, as telescopes look farther from Earth they see earlier into the past. While Hubble and other telescopes using different light wavelengths have seen this far back, this is the rst complete set of photos in the visible light spec-
trum that the human eye sees. To do this, Hubble is using one of Albert Einsteins concepts that massive clusters of galaxies have such super gravity that they magnify and stretch light, Lotz said. By focusing on clusters, astronomers use them as natural binoculars to see whats behind them. The release of the images is signicant and important, said Christopher Conselice, a professor at the University of Nottingham in England. Conselice was not part of the Hubble team. Itll tell us about how the universe is forming and evolving, Conselice said after the astronomers presentation. I think they understated it. It could be a fundamental thing.
Mediterranean diet benecial to health

NEW RESEARCH: Produce, meats and olive oil
FRANCIS HAD A LITTLE LAMB
can prevent diabetes even if weight loss elusive

LOS ANGELES TIMES
Even without weight loss, adhering to a diet rich in fresh produce, chicken, sh and olive oil is 40 percent more effective in heading off the development of Type 2 diabetes than following a low-fat diet, a new study has found. The research suggests that for the nations 78 million obese adults, a diet that minimizes red meat and sweets but incorporates plant-based fats may be a sustainable way to improve health even if permanent weight reduction proves elusive. The ndings add to mounting research that suggests a traditional Mediterranean diet may be easier to adhere to and more likely to improve health than more restrictive regimens. Compared to those on a low-fat diet, trial participants whose Mediterranean-style diets were supplemented with a daily dose of tree nuts almonds, walnuts and hazelnuts were 18 percent less likely to develop Type 2 diabetes. The researchers called that a positive trend but acknowledged that the difference fell short of demonstrating beyond doubt the superiority of a Mediterranean diet rich in nuts over a standard low-fat diet.
Published Monday in the Annals of Internal Medicine, the latest entry in the diet fray followed more than four years 3,541 older Spaniards who were at high risk of developing cardiovascular disease. They were a subgroup of a larger clinical trial that demonstrated the effectiveness of the Mediterranean diet in reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. That trial of 7,447 subjects documented in February in the New England Journal of Medicine found that those placed on a Mediterranean diet supplemented with either nuts or extra-virgin olive oil were 30 percent less likely than those prescribed a low-fat diet to suffer a heart attack, stroke or death due to cardiovascular disease. Nearly half of those recruited for the parent trial already had Type 2 diabetes. The subjects used in the current subgroup analysis started the trial with at least three risk factors for developing premature cardiovascular disease: They were active smokers; were overweight or obese; had a family history of premature heart disease; or had hypertension or worrisome cholesterol readings. None, however, had been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes at the start of the trial.

Diapers in dump truck trigger radioactive alarms
VIENNA Austrian hazmat specialists called in after Geiger counters showed alarmingly high readings for a dump truck arriving at an incinerator have found the problem: radioactive adult diapers. After unloading the truck, reghters from the hazardous materials unit of the city of Linz found nearly two dozen diapers from a hospital that had become contaminated with radioactive iodine. The substance is swallowed during some medical and diagnostic procedures. While radiation levels were substantially above normal, unit leader Dieter Jonas said no one was in danger during Tuesdays incident. Austrian ofcials, however, are tracing the trucks route. And the truck will stay in a metal container at the incinerator for eight days the time it takes for the emissions to reach safe levels.

BUFFALO A splash of beet juice, a dollop of molasses, a squeeze of cheese brine. In the coldest weather, the recipe for safer roads often goes beyond the usual sprinkling of salt. Across the nations snow belt, transportation officials are in the market for cheap and environmentally friendly ways to make rock salt work better by keeping it on the roads longer and melting ice at lower temperatures. Plain salt is largely ineffective below 16 degrees. Additives can keep it working in temperatures as low as minus 25. In Milwaukee, road crews are experimenting with plentiful cheese brine, a leftover from cheese making. New York and Pennsylvania are among states trying sugar beet juice, while molasses and potato juice are avoring roads elsewhere. Many of the food derivatives are in commercially marketed products with names such as Ice Bite and Magic Salt, but in Milwaukee, transportation officials are mixing their own brew. As part of a pilot program, the citys eet operations manager, Jeffrey Tews, has sent trucks to some of Wisconsins 140 cheese plants to pick up brine, which is used to pre-wet the roads and rock salt. (Mozzarella and provolone have the best salt content.) The brines got a bit of a cheesy smell up close, Tews says, but in the few times its been used, no one has complained. Were taking a product that normally would have been disposed of and repurposing it, Tews said. It could be economical. Its too soon to project.
Arizona ofcials seize 2 tigers from backyards

PHOENIX Arizona wildlife ofcials have seized two tigers that were being kept in backyards in the Phoenix area. The Arizona Game and Fish Department received reports Dec. 27 about a man posting pictures of himself with his two pet tigers online. Game and Fish biologist Randy Babb said the rst tiger was found rope-tied in a Phoenix backyard on New Years Eve. The second tiger was located three days later in suburban Gilbert and was being kept in a large dog kennel. Both tigers are about 8 months old, 200 pounds and appear to be in good health. Babb said theyll be taken to live at a wildlife preserve in Prescott.

A Pennsylvania Department of Transportation anti-icing truck sprays a deicing cocktail of brine and beet juice on the driveway of PennDOTs Butler, Pa., maintenance facility.
The New York State Thruway Authority began a pilot program three years ago using another waste item sugar beet juice from the sugar refining process. Scientifically speaking, carbohydrates in the beet juice help prevent ice from bonding to the road. Used to pretreat both the road and salt, the mixture of 80 percent brine and 20 percent beet juice also keeps the salt
from scattering as much. That reduces by about 30 percent the amount of salt needed, ofcials said, which in turn cuts corrosion on vehicles, roads and vegetation. This winter, crews plan to use 100,000 gallons of the beetbrine mixture on the 570-mile Thruway system. And ofcials promise the brownish mixture (no, its not beet red) wont stain the roads.

roadblock cleared; GOP wants spending cuts to pay $6b cost

WASHINGTON President Barack Obama pressed Congress on Tuesday to extend jobless benets for 1.3 million Americans, dismissing the suggestion that the checks lead people to shun work and insisting theres no need for budget offsets to pay the price. The Senate did take an important step toward restoring the benets, which ended Dec. 28.

still face big hurdles in the Republican-led House of Representatives.
Obama put his political weight squarely behind the effort Tuesday, hosting an event in the White House East Room that had the feel of a pep rally and a somber testimonial to the dangers of not extending the benets. These arent folks who are just sitting back, waiting for things to happen, Obama said. Theyre out there actively looking for work. They desperately want work. The partisan divide is philosophical and fiscal. Republicans insist the $6.5 billion price be paid for with cuts in spending elsewhere.

Keenan Kunst at the Royal Air Force station in Lakenheath, Suffolk County, which hosts U.S. Air Force units and personnel, said in a telephone interview that the helicopter went down in the coastal village of Cley, near the base. He said the aircraft was based there and on a training mission. In Washington, a U.S. defense ofcial said the accident killed the four U.S. Air Force crew members aboard. Police in Norfolk County cordoned off the area where the crash occurred, and several vehicles from the re brigade, coast guard and police are at the scene. Pave Hawks are often used for combat search and rescue missions, mainly to recover downed air crew members or other personnel.

U.S. sending 800 troops, tanks to South Korea

WASHINGTON The United States is sending an additional Army combat force of 800 soldiers to South Korea with tanks and armored troop carriers, and pledged Tuesday to continue to modernize its military capability to face any threat posed by North Korea. The announcement on the troop increase came as Secretary of State John Kerry met in Washington with his South Korean counterpart, Yun Byung-se. Kerry reiterated that the U.S. would maintain its nuclear defense for South Korea, a key Asian ally, and would not accept North Korea as a nuclear state. The U.S. already has about 28,500 troops in South Korea as an expression of commitment to its defense against North Korean aggression. An armistice, but not a peace treaty, halted the 1950-53 Korean War.

WASHINGTON The Internal Revenue Service is seeing a big jump in thieves stealing Social Security numbers to fraudulently claim tax refunds, the agency said Tuesday. The IRS launched 1,492 criminal investigations into identity theft last year, a 66 percent increase from the year before. Prosecutions and indictments more than doubled. The numbers dwarf those from just two years ago. In all, the IRS said it has agged 14.6 million suspicious tax returns since 2011, blocking more than $50 billion in fraudulent refunds. New IRS Commissioner John Koskinen told reporters this week that stopping identity theft was a top priority for the agency. The people working on that are confident that while its a growth industry for the last two or three years that its getting under control, Koskinen said at his introductory news conference Monday. I would stress that its an area that has everybodys attention. In a common scam, thieves use stolen Social Security numbers to le tax returns early in the ling season so they can claim refunds before legitimate taxpayers le their returns. The IRS, which prides itself on issu-
ing quick refunds, often sends out refunds before it receives documents verifying wages and other income from employers and nancial institutions. Koskinen said waiting for such documents could delay refunds for months. This year, the IRS boasts on its website that it expects to issue more than nine out of 10 refunds in less than 21 days. A recent inspector generals report said the IRS is stepping up efforts to ght identity theft but thieves are getting more aggressive. The IRS issued $4 billion in fraudulent tax refunds in 2012 to people using stolen identities, according to the inspector generals report released in November. The IRS sent a total of 655 tax refunds to a single address in Lithuania, and 343 refunds went to a lone address in Shanghai, the report said. The agency said it has since improved its computer lters to ag suspicious refunds, including cases in which many refunds go to the same address. On Tuesday, the IRS said more than 3,000 agents were working to ght identity theft The agency said a coast-tocoast sweep in January 2013 led to 109 arrests and 189 indictments.
Negotiators wrapping up spending bill

One dead, three injured in avalanche in Colorado

VAIL, Colo. One person is dead and three others are injured following an avalanche in the backcountry near Vail, Colo. Eagle County sheriffs spokeswoman Jessie Mosher said the slide happened about 11:30 a.m. Tuesday in East Vail Chutes, an area between Vail Mountain and Vail Pass. She said the three survivors dont have life-threatening injuries. The avalanche danger in the area is rated as considerable. The Colorado Avalanche Information Center says slides there are becoming harder to trigger, but when slides develop, they are very large and dangerous. Five people have died in avalanches in Colorado, Wyoming and Montana in the last two weeks.
WASHINGTON Funding for implementing the new health care law and other sticking points remain, but negotiators reported signicant progress Tuesday on a $1.1 trillion spending bill to fund the government through September. We are looking at narrowing the differences, looking at ... how we can compromise without capitulation on both sides, said Senate Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Barbara Mikulski, D-Md. After a meeting of the four principal negotiators the top Democrats and Republicans on the House and Senate Appropria-
tions committees Mikulski was cautiously optimistic of reaching agreement on the massive bill later this week in hopes of a vote next week. Our subcommittee chairmen have really done 90 percent of the work. We are now at 10 percent, but this last 10 percent, like in any negotiation, is the toughest, Mikulski said. A top aide accompanying Mikulski back to her ofce told reporters that the budgets for the Pentagon and the Commerce, Justice, Agriculture, Housing and Urban Development, Veterans Affairs and Transportation departments are virtually wrapped up.
But the two sides remain at odds over funding to implement so-called Obamacare and a 2010 overhaul of financial regulations, and theyre still sorting through more than 130 policy items known as riders in Washington-speak, many of which are backed by conservatives seeking to derail Obama administration environmental and labor regulations. Among the differences is giving the administration exibility to certify that Egypt qualies for U.S. military aid despite a law that bans such assistance after coups, said Sen. Lindsey Graham, the top Republican on the foreign aid panel.
The most controversial riders are likely to be jettisoned to the dismay of conservatives, many of whom will vote against the bill anyway over its funding of Obamacare. The issue sparked a 16-day partial shutdown of the government at the hands of House conservatives that GOP leaders are loath to repeat. Im hopeful well work something out where neither side is very happy, but well work it out and Obamacare will continue to be implemented, said Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, responsible for a massive section of the measure funding the Labor and Health and Human
Services departments. Harkin said another hang-up includes differences over funding to implement the new health care law and GOP-sought provisions to effectively block several union-friendly decisions by the National Labor Relations Board. Harkin predicted Democrats will carry the day in annual ghts over abortion, which include a GOP-sought ban on federal funding for Planned Parenthood. The goal is to nish writing the mammoth measure this week in anticipation of House and Senate votes before a Jan. 15 deadline to avert another government shutdown

Many seek end to oil export ban

PRESSURE MOUNTING: GOP senator joins chorus of voices urging action

WASHINGTON The push to end the ban on exporting U.S. crude oil to foreign nations is at a level not seen in decades, with the top Republican on the Senate Energy Committee joining the call Tuesday. Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski argued that the ban, put in place after the 1970s Arab oil embargo, doesnt makes sense given the current U.S. oil production boom. Her endorsement follows comments by President Barack Obamas
secretary of energy that the ban should be reconsidered, and a pledge by the oil industrys main lobbying group to press Congress and the president on the issue. We need to be looking at it now, Murkowski said following an address at the Brookings Institution research center in Washington, D.C. I want to move this conversation, and I want to move it aggressively. But lifting the ban on selling oil to foreign nations is controversial. Congress meant the
ban to protect American consumers from gasoline shortages and price spikes, and some lawmakers say its still needed. Easing this ban might be a win for Big Oil, but it would hurt American consumers, New Jersey Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez said in a recent letter urging the president to keep the export ban in place. Menendez said exporting oil could raise the energy prices for American consumers by wiping out the difference between U.S. and global oil prices.
Blizzard closes roads, schools in Western N.Y.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
BUFFALO Roads and schools were closed and ights canceled across upstate New York on Tuesday as a blizzard slammed the western part of the state while dangerously cold temperatures gripped eastern areas from the Adirondacks to New York City. Meteorologist Bill Hippert of the National Weather Service said the storm barreling in from the Midwest already had dumped an estimated 15 to 18 inches of snow in some areas of Western New York by Tuesday morning, with winds gusting up to 50 mph along Lake Erie, making travel difcult if not impossible. Up to 3 feet was expected in some areas around Buffalo and as much as 4 feet
could fall near the eastern end of Lake Ontario by the time the storm eases up today, he said. This is an out-of-the-ordinary event, even for Buffalo, Hippert said. Its been 20 years since we had blizzard warnings of this magnitude in this area. A 65-mile stretch of the Thruway from Buffalo to the Pennsylvania border was closed, with all entry ramps between Exit 55 and 61 shut down. Travel bans were in effect for much of Western New York and areas north of Syracuse. The weather services blizzard warning for the city of Buffalo and surrounding areas was in place until 6 a.m. today. About 15 truckers were waiting out the storm at Jims Travel Plaza outside Buffalo, ac-
cording to a waitress who said she was too busy serving the drivers to give her name. Richard Merbler, a driver for Ace Hardware based out of Saratoga County, said the wind was blowing like the devil in Niagara Falls on Tuesday morning, but conditions were even worse the night before along the Thruway between Rochester and Buffalo. Batavia last night wasnt t for a dog when I was there. You couldnt see, Merbler said. State police planned to escort 38 trucks from the Angola service area, where they were at a standstill, to the Pennsylvania border. The snow and wind werent the only threats. Forecasters issued a ash ood warning for
Niagara Falls and Grand Island after an ice jam formed in the upper Niagara River, causing water levels to rise. Hundreds of schools from the states southwestern corner to the Hudson Valley were closed because of the weather, most due to the blizzard conditions in western areas but others because of temperatures in the single digits and wind chills well below zero. Nationally, the mercury plunged into the single digits and teens from Boston and New York to Atlanta, Birmingham, Nashville and Little Rock places where many people dont know the rst thing about extreme cold. I didnt think the South got this cold, said Marty Williams, a homeless man, origi-
nally from Chicago, who took shelter at a church in Atlanta, where it hit a record low of 6 degrees. That was the main reason for me to come down from up North, from the cold, to get away from all that stuff. The morning weather map for the eastern half of the U.S. looked like an algebra worksheet: lots of small, negative numbers. In fact, the Midwest and the East were colder than much of Antarctica. The cold turned deadly for some: Authorities reported at least 21 cold-related deaths across the country since Sunday, including seven in Illinois and six in Indiana. At least ve people died after collapsing while shoveling snow, while several victims were identi-
ed as homeless people who either refused shelter or didnt make it to a warm haven soon enough to save themselves from the bitter temperatures. In a phenomenon that forecasters said is actually not all that unusual, all 50 states saw freezing temperatures at some point Tuesday. That included Hawaii, where it was 18 degrees atop Mauna Kea, a dormant volcano. In Chicago, it was too cold even for the polar bear at the Lincoln Park Zoo. While polar bears can handle below-zero cold in the wild, Anana was kept inside Monday because she doesnt have the thick layer of fat that bears typically develop from feeding on seals and whale carcasses.

Roads...
From A1 Watertown city line and Route 12 between Lowville and Watertown remained closed as of Tuesday evening. Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo declared a state of emergency for several counties at 8 p.m. Monday in anticipation of the arrival of the worst of the storm, and Interstate 81 from Exit 31, Brewerton, to Exit 45, Watertown at Arsenal Street, was closed then. State Department of Transportation officials initially called it a soft closing, meaning that exits were not blocked. As a result, some drivers still took to the road throughout the day Tuesday. Trooper Warren R. Johnson with state police in Watertown said some onramps were blocked but not all of them. However, Jefferson County Fire and Emergency Management Director Joseph D. Plummer said the soft closure was not successful in keeping drivers off the road, so the closure was changed to a hard closure, leading to onramps being barricaded in the stretch of highway between Exits 34 and 48. A multicar accident in the northbound lanes south of Exit 44, Watertown Center, and worsening conditions north of Watertown during the morning Tuesday led DOT to close that section of highway. The Jefferson County Highway Department pulled all of its plows from the roads just after 1:30 p.m. Tuesday because of heavy snow and poor visibility. The plows returned early Tuesday evening. The towns of Denmark, Rutland and Champion, at minimum, also made the decision to stop plowing until visibility improves. Its difficult for everyone out there, Jefferson County Highway Superintendent James L. Lawrence Jr. said. Rutland pulled three of its four plows from the road, town Highway Superintendent Claude E. Phelps said. There was still a plow operating in the afternoon in the Felts Mills area, but all roads from about Rutland Hollow Road to the Lewis County line were sidelined. Champion Town Highway Superintendent John F. Sech said the decision was made to pull plows at 10 a.m. Tuesday,

with little improvement in conditions as of about 2 p.m. As soon as it lets up, were ready to go, he said. Travel on any road parallel to I-81 was difcult throughout the day as drivers sought an alternative north-south route. Between heavy snow buildup and intermittent but persistent whiteouts, speeds on Route 11 rarely reached 15 miles an hour, making travel to and from Watertown both tedious and dangerous. Travel was expected to be difcult and dangerous as long as the storm persists. The National Weather Service lakeeffect warning is in effect until 1 p.m. today. People who have appointments scheduled for today or who were planning to go to an event should call ahead to make sure the appointment or event is still scheduled.

Winter storm brings NNY to a standstill...

From A1 ment Director Joseph D. Plummer. Its difcult for everyone out there, County Highway Superintendent James L. Lawrence Jr. said. In the village of Sackets Harbor, plows were nowhere to be seen, as Mayor Vincent J. Battista III said such efforts would be futile against the strong storm. He said the plows would be sent out when the weather improves. Its brutal, he said, relating how he talked to a woman who said it took her an hour to drive the 8 miles from Sackets Harbor to Watertown. More than 21 inches of snow fell in Watertown by 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service. More than 3 feet of snow had fallen at the Flat Rock Inn, Lowville, at 9 a.m. Tuesday, and owner Gordon J. Yancey said that total has continued to grow. Theres 42, 48 inches out there now, Mr. Yancey said about 6 p.m. Tuesday. Maybe more. The storm ground most activity to a halt Tuesday as travel became difcult, if not impossible. Flights both inbound and outbound at Watertown International Airport have been delayed until this evening, at the earliest. Airport Manager Grant W. Sussey said American Eagle canceled three Tuesday evening flights, as well as its 7:20 a.m. departure today. No decision on the status of the 5 p.m. inbound ight or 5:35 p.m. outbound ight had been made as of Tuesday night. State, county and local officials implored residents to stay off the roads, and Interstate 81 was barricaded north of Mexico in Oswego County. Theres been numerous accidents out there today, Mr. Plummer said Tuesday. And numerous is a large number. Local towing companies reported high numbers of stranded vehicles. Millers Garage, 801 Huntington St., received 40 to 50 calls between 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., the time at which the garage said it was too risky to continue sending out trucks. Harts Towing & Repair, 27080 Route 37, was still actively responding to calls as of 6:45 p.m. Tuesday, and one employee said she couldnt even begin to count the number of calls the shop received. With roads impassable, many people had no choice but to spend Tuesday night at a hotel. At the Hampton Inn, 155 Commerce Park Drive, only 20 of 120 rooms remained vacant as of 6:45 p.m. Tues-

An employee said many stranded tractor-trailer drivers were being directed to the hotel by Jefferson County sheriffs deputies and estimated that 95 percent of the occupants Tuesday night were stranded motorists. Those seeking a temporary break from the storm were encouraged to visit one of the five warming shelters in Jefferson County being operated at the fire stations in Adams, West Carthage, Carthage, town of Watertown and Natural Bridge. According to Jefferson County Fire and Emergency Management, more than 100 people were at the Adams Fire Hall as of 7:35 p.m. Tuesday. Though the warming shelters are in operation, Mr. Plummer said, the need for public assistance has not been particularly strong, as he said there have been no widespread power outages
resulting from the storm. As of 9:30 p.m., 30 customers were without power in Jefferson County and no outages were reported in Lewis or St. Lawrence counties, according to National Grid. For the latest news on road closures and weather alerts, Mr. Plummer urged residents visit the departments Facebook page. Right now, Mr. Plummer said, the best thing people can do is stay indoors. He said if the decision were up to him, all of the roads in Jefferson County would have been closed. Motorists on the road have exclusively been the problem so far, Mr. Plummer said. A Times journalist counted more than two dozen vehicles off the road on Route 180 in Dexter alone. Trooper Delgado said he cant even count how many vehicles went off the road. Both Jefferson Community College and Fort Drum announced Tuesday night that they would operate on twohour delays this morning.

Hudson company agrees to clean up polluted river

ALBANY Atlantic Richeld Co. agreed to clean up PCB-contaminated soils and Hudson River sediment in Westchester County in a project state conservation ofcials estimate will cost more than $250 million. The Department of Environmental Conservation said the consent order with ARCO is for the Harbor at Hastings site where its predecessor company, Anaconda Wire & Cable Co., released polychlorinated biphenyls and metals into the soil, groundwater and river sediment from manufacturing operations. The company been working with state and village ofcials and Riverkeeper to lay groundwork for returning its portion of the property at Hastings-onHudson to productive use.

Nuclear reactor goes down after machinery failure

BUCHANAN A drop in the water level in a steam generator automatically shut down one of the Indian Point nuclear reactors in the New York City suburbs. Plant owner Entergy Nuclear said there was no release of radioactivity. The company said a controller device failed Monday night in one of four steam generators attached to Indian Point 3. Spokesman Jerry Nappi said the cause was not clear and the device will be replaced. He said he does not know when the reactor will be returned to the grid. Entergy said Indian Point 2, the other reactor at the Buchanan site, continued at full power.
NEW YORK One retired police officer who said he couldnt work taught martial arts, prosecutors said. Another who claimed he was incapable of social interactions manned a cannoli stand at a street festival, they said. A third who said his depression was so crippling that it kept him house-bound was photographed aboard a Sea-Doo watercraft. All were wrongly receiving thousands in federal disability benefits, prosecutors said Tuesday in announcing a sweeping fraud case involving scores of retired ofcers, as well as former reghters and jail guards. The retirees faked psychiatric problems, authorities said, and some falsely claimed their conditions arose after the Sept. 11 attacks. Four ringleaders coached the former workers on how to feign depression and other mental
health problems that allowed them to get payouts high as $500,000 over years, said Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. The ringleaders made tens of thousands of dollars in secret kickbacks, Vance said. The four retired ofcer Joseph Esposito, 64; John Minerva, 61, a disability consultant with the detectives union; lawyer Raymond LaVallee, 83; and a benets consultant Thomas Hale, 89 pleaded not guilty Tuesday to high-level grand larceny charges. All were released on bail, ranging from $250,000 to $1 million. Their lawyers said all four staunchly deny the accusations, and some noted their clients had legitimate jobs helping people seek benets. Hales lawyer, Brian Grifn noted that many of the benetseekers had been found eligible for city disability pensions before they got federal benets.
But prosecutors argued that eligibility for Social Security disability benets is a higher bar than qualifying for a city worker disability pension. And they said the applicants strategically lied, with the ringleaders guidance, to make themselves appear to meet it. They were taught how to fail memory tests and how to act like a person suffering from depression or post-traumatic stress disorder, prosecutors said. More than 100 were arrested, including 72 city police ofcers, eight firefighters, five corrections ofcers and one Nassau County Police Department ofcer. Police Commissioner William Bratton said the arrests were an effort to ensure the memories of those who did in fact contribute their lives or their physical well-being to dealing with 9/11 are not sullied.

NEW YORK JPMorgan Chase & Co., already beset by costly legal woes, will pay over $2.5 billion for ignoring obvious warning signs of Bernard Madoffs massive Ponzi scheme, authorities said Tuesday. The bank will pay $1.7 billion to settle criminal charges and a $350 million civil penalty for what the Treasury Department called critical and widespread deciencies in its programs to prevent money laundering and other suspicious activity. It also will pay $543 million to settle other victim claims, according to settlements announced by Irving H. Picard, the trustee recovering money for thousands of Madoffs victims. George Venizelos, head of the FBIs New York ofce, said the company failed to carry out its legal obligations while Madoff built his massive house of cards. JPMorgan, the primary bank through which Madoff operated since 1986, withdrew about $300 million of its own money from Madoff feeder funds in 2008, soon after the banks London desk circulated a memo describing JPMorgans inability
to validate Madoffs trading activity or custody of assets and his odd choice of a one-man accounting rm, the government said. The $1.7 billion represents the largest forfeiture by a U.S. bank and the largest Department of Justice penalty for a Bank Secrecy Act violation. The settlement includes a so-called deferred prosecution agreement that requires the bank to acknowledge failures in its protections against money laundering but also allows it to avoid criminal charges. JPMorgan has several lawsuits pending against it related to the high-risk mortgage bonds that soured after the housing market collapsed in 2007. Theres also an ongoing criminal investigation led by the ofce of U.S. Attorney Benjamin Wagner in Sacramento, Calif. The bank may be negotiating or litigating over the issue for years and has set aside $23 billion to cover those costs. JPMorgan told regulators in a ling in October that it may need as much as $5.7 billion more. Madoff, 75, pleaded guilty and is serving a 150-year prison term.

Owning guns is SAFE(r) N

early a year later, the New York Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act is as controversial as it was the day it was passed. And how it was passed on Jan. 15, 2013, immediately drew major complaints. But that was nothing compared to the fury gun rights advocates unleashed at what was contained in the measure. With the rst anniversary of the mass shooting in Newton, Conn., occurring last month and that of the passage of the NY SAFE Act approaching, this is a good time to examine the gun control issue. Ill explore the SAFE Act in this column and review broader questions in the next few days. Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo invoked the message of necessity tactic last year to pass the NY SAFE Act. It allows the Legislature to bypass the state constitutions requirement that lawmakers wait at least three days before voting on a measure that has been introduced. This loophole essentially renders the three-day provision meaningless. Legislators worked on passing the NY SAFE Act late into the night Jan. 14 of last year, an effort that carried over until the next day. This once again gave the appearance that they rushed the measure through in the dead of night before anyone could mount opposition. The NY SAFE Act broadened what qualifies as an assault weapon and made it illegal to own such a rearm under this new denition, unless someone already owned one before the law was passed. A Jan. 17, 2013, article in the TimesUnion reported that Gov. Cuomo said the message of necessity was needed to prevent a rush on purchases of assault weapons as the bill was being considered. He made a valid point here. If the goal was to halt further proliferation of assault weapons, gun enthusiasts would make a beeline to their nearest dealer to buy as many of these rearms as possible. Gov. Cuomo, however, put the entire bill under the message of necessity allowance. And since some portions of the law werent scheduled to go into effect for months, he used poor judgment. He should have used a message of necessity to prohibit the sale or transfer of any asA SECOND OPINION

Get the feds out of your gas tank
This editorial is from the Chicago Tribune: he U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has proposed reducing the amount of ethanol and other biofuels that must be mixed into the nations fuel supply. Fuel blenders would be required to use 15.21 billion gallons of biofuel in 2014, down from 16.55 billion gallons last year. Thats a good sign that the EPA nally recognizes the federal mandate for ethanol is creating economic distortions. But the mandate should be cut much more signicantly, with the ultimate goal that it be eliminated. The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 set benchmarks for a huge increase in the production of domestic biofuels, supposedly to boost national security and help the environment by reducing U.S. consumption of foreign oil. Ethanol does reduce oil consumption. But most of the ethanol in the U.S. is made from corn. Nearly 40 percent of the U.S. corn crop goes to ethanol. Corn is the No. 1 source of livestock feed. When so much corn is diverted into making ethanol, feed prices go up. Americans subsidize ethanol through tax breaks, and then they pay for ethanol again through higher food prices. The 2007 law encouraged research and development of biofuels made from nonedible products: grass clippings, wood chips and other forms of cellulose. The idea was to jump-start a new, environmentally friendly motor-fuel industry that did not rely on foodstuffs. That, so far, has been all promise. No cellulosic biofuel is produced on a commercial scale yet. In the meantime, conservation efforts and a tough economy have curbed the naThe Times welcomes letters.

tions demand for fuel. North American oil and gas production has skyrocketed, thanks to new extraction techniques. So the demand for ethanol has been far less than expected. That has put fuel blenders in a bind. Federal law requires them to mix their gasoline with huge, xed amounts of biofuels. The standard mix is nine parts gas to one part, or 10 percent, ethanol. Every major auto manufacturer approves the use of 10 percent ethanol. At that level, ethanol is safe for gasoline-powered cars. The problem is that from a practical standpoint, blenders have hit what they refer to as a wall. Cutting their gas with 10 percent ethanol doesnt use enough ethanol to meet the mandate. The biofuel lobby wants to bump up the amount of ethanol to 15 percent or more. Auto manufacturers warn that such highly diluted fuel could damage some cars. Gas stations have no reason to offer blends with more ethanol since consumer demand for that is practically nil. That hasnt stopped the corn growers and other proethanol groups from pressing for the government to require the use of still more ethanol, which in turn would use up more corn. None of this makes economic sense. Its time to put a stop to the mandate. The law has succeeded in pumping up prots for corn-ethanol producers and their suppliers, but it has failed to serve the public interest. It hasnt launched a new cellulosicethanol industry. It hasnt made the nation less vulnerable to the risks of Middle Eastern oil supplies domestic production and reduced consumption have had a far more dramatic impact on that count. Lets be done with it. Get the government out of the business of mixing your gas.

sault weapon, with the new denition of this rearm included. But a sunset clause should have been attached to the bill, say for three months. This way, no one could legally acquire assault weapons for three months while legislators mulled over the remainder of the bill. Members of the Assembly and Senate would have had time to examine the NY SAFE Acts merits while opponents expressed their concerns. If the bill passed in parts or its entirety before the sunset clause expired, those measures would be put into effect all the while providing ample time for a vigorous debate. Otherwise, the assault weapons ban passed via the message of necessity procedure would disappear. Aside from redening and banning the sale or transfer of assault weapons, the NY SAFE Act limited high-capacity magazines to seven rounds, expands the use of background checks to buy rearms and ammunition, creates an assault weapons registry, compels mental health patients believed to have made a credible threat to be reported to state authorities and increases penalties for specic gun crimes, among other provisions. The item banning high-capacity magazines has proven to be the most problematic. Since many firearm magazines come standard with a capacity of 10 rounds, Gov. Cuomo declared that owners could only put seven rounds in them. But a federal judge declared this part of the law unconstitutional last month. And its a good thing because its unenforceable. Are police expected to stop people randomly to inspect their rearms to ensure there are no more than seven rounds in the magazine? The other hiccup with the law is the provision requiring mental health patients to be reported if they are believed to have made a credible threat against someone. Mental health professionals have said this could adversely
affect their ability to counsel patients. Some have said they wont comply with this portion of the law, declaring that the condentiality of patient information trumps any safety measures in the law. As wildly unpopular as the NY SAFE Act is, I fail to see where opponents have much room for criticism. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that reasonable regulations on gun purchases and ownership are constitutional. Except for those two questionable areas, I dont see whats unreasonable about the rest of the law. Why, for example, do gun enthusiasts raise so many objections to increasing the use of background checks? They have proven to be effective in areas where they are enforced. Where they havent been effective is in situations where they are not required. So gun rights advocates cannot claim that background checks dont work. What doesnt work is allowing people to buy guns under specic circumstances without background checks. If every single gun purchase and transfer was subject to a background check no exceptions more rearms would be kept out of the wrong hands. And the NY SAFE Act is a good step in the right direction on this front. But opponents of the law are set to speak out. At noon this Saturday, the Northern New York Freedom Fighters will re-create the shot heard round the world in Concord, Mass., in 1775, beginning the American Revolution. Members of the group will fire a symbolic shot at the Black Lake Fish and Game Club, Route 58 and Potato Street in Morristown, to protest the passage of the NY SAFE Act. Trap shooting will follow for anyone interested. People are invited to join members of the Northern New York Freedom Fighters in opposing perhaps the most stringent gun control measure in the nation to be passed following the tragedy at Newton. But like much of the misguided vitriol over gun control, I believe these shots will ring hollow.

Stop closing St. Lawrence Seaway so late
The danger of extending the navigation season on the St. Lawrence Seaway was much apparent over the holidays. Luckily, the cargo vessel grounded on the rocks off Cape Vincent did not suffer an oil leak. What if it had? Our weather has been less than hospitable this winter. Cleanup would have been difcult, to say the least. After it was refloated, the damaged vessel remained in the Seaway past the closing date, and according to a Times report, ice was the culprit for more than 20 other delays. Why was Dec. 30 established as the closing date for Seaway trafc? Isnt that too late? Based on information published by the Seaway Development Corp. in its annual traffic reports, the average closing date was Dec. 24 during the 1980s, Dec. 26 in the 1990s and Dec. 28 for the rst decade of the new millennium. So far this decade, the dates have been Dec. 29 and 30. Am I the only one who sees a creep? Accidents on the Seaway can and do happen. The worst-case scenario is a petroleum spill at the very end of the season when remediation cannot be accomplished effectively. Is this what we want to happen? Trafc planning for the Seaway should not be based on wishful thinking. A beautiful heritage and delicate ecology are at stake. GLENN HARRIS LISBON

Technology? Some justices want to keep distance

WASHINGTON At the Supreme Court, technology can be regarded as a necessary evil, and sometimes not even necessary. When the justices have something to say to each other in writing, they never do it by email. Their courthouse didnt even have a photocopying machine until 1969, a few years after Xerox had become a verb. So as the legal ght over the NSAs high-tech collection of telephone records moves through the court system, possibly en route to the Supreme Court, some justices already are on record as saying they should be wary about taking on major questions of technology and privacy.

ments prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures. Last month, U.S. District Judge Richard Leon of Washington ruled that the NSAs phone-records collection program probably fails that Fourth
Amendment test and is unconstitutional. Leon called the program Orwellian in scale. The Obama administration has defended the program as an important tool in the ght against terrorism and is ex-
pected to appeal the ruling. Complicating matters, 11 days after Leons ruling, U.S. District Judge William Pauley III of New York declared the NSA program legal in dismissing a lawsuit led by the American Civil Liberties Union. In addition, legislation in Congress and possible administration changes could alter NSA surveillance and affect the court cases. Among those who think the Supreme Court will weigh in is Justice Antonin Scalia, who addressed the topic in July in a question-and-answer session with a technology group. He didnt sound happy about the prospect of such a ruling. Scalia said the elected branches of government are better situated to balance security needs and privacy protections. But he said the Supreme Court took that power for itself
in 1960s-era expansions of privacy rights, including prohibitions on wiretapping without a judges approval. In the police pager case, Scalia was part of an exchange with Chief Justice John Roberts that sounded almost like a comedy routine. Roberts was questioning the lawyer for the ofcer whose messages were searched. He asked whether it was reasonable for the ofcer and others to assume that a third party, the pager service, was actually routing the messages from sender to recipient, much as a phone company does with calls. I wouldnt think that. I thought, you know, you push a button, it goes right to the other thing, Roberts said. Scalia chimed in, You mean it doesnt go right to the other thing?
Too many growers could spoil the pot in Washington

MARIJUANA LEGISLATION: More than 2,600 applications submitted so far
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE Washington state could be facing a curious economics problem: too many pot growers. According to updated figures released Tuesday, more than 2,600 applications have been submitted to produce the marijuana that will be sold at state-licensed stores when Washingtons legal marijuana industry opens for business around the middle of this year. Thats a problem because ofcials are, at least initially, capping total pot production at 2 million square feet, or about 46 acres. It remains to be seen how many applications are approved, but if its even close to the number submitted, that could leave growers with less than 1,000 square feet apiece on average not enough
space for most to run an economically viable operation. Its going to be a challenge, no question about it, said Alison Holcomb, the Seattle attorney who drafted the legal pot law. There are 10 times as many applications as we need. The prospect of having too many growers isnt the only difficulty prompted by the overwhelming interest in the industry. Some 2,035 applications have been processed so far for retail licenses, but the state is capping the number of pot shops statewide at 334. That means there are likely to be lotteries for those licenses in many areas. In Seattle, where the state Liquor Control Board has allotted 21 pot shops, there have been 408 retail license applica-
tions. In Spokane, which will have eight marijuana stores, there have been 84 applications. Board spokesman Mikhail Carpenter said its premature to worry about the number of applications, because while the state is not capping the number of growers, no one yet knows how many will meet criteria. The board must screen each application to make sure the proposed locations arent within 1,000 feet of schools, parks, daycares or other locations where children frequent. Officials must also conduct background checks on applicants and their nancial backers. They havent gone through the licensing process, he said. We dont know how many are viable.

California speed rail Tax credit could be big help for local renters... navigating forward
From Page A1
From A1 And because most, if not all, renters in Jefferson County fall below this income threshold, they likely would be eligible for the credit. Most folks in Watertown would be eligible, said Morris A. Peters, a spokesman for the state Division of the Budget. The new renters credit, which is based loosely on the model of the existing household credit, would provide a base credit that would both increase according to household size and decrease according to income level, according to Mr. Peters. Those closest to the $100,000 threshold would receive the smallest amount, while those earning less money would receive a larger amount. As the number of dependents within a household increases, so would the amount of the credit, though that also would be controlled according to income level, Mr. Peters said. There are 3.3 million renteroccupied housing units in the state, according to the 2010 census, and about 1.7 million New York City renters who would benet from the renters tax credit program, according to Mr. Peters. The amount of the base credit has not yet been nalized, but is expected to be revealed in the governors proposed budget later this month. In Jefferson County, there are 19,338 renter-occupied units, according to the U.S. Census Bureaus American Community Survey Five-Year Estimates. And with only 2,062 of those units occupied by households making more than $75,000 a year the highest income category measured in the data set the vast majority of renters in the area would, in theory, be eligible for the credit. However, more details of the plan have to be seen before those who work to provide affordable housing in the Watertown area will pass a verdict on the governors proposal. If youve got a family that really needs rental assistance, how are they going to pay rent all year to get a tax credit at the end of the year? said Gary C. Beasley, executive director of Neighbors of Watertown. Im not sure how this will work out. I look forward to learning more about it. Rental rates are unusually high in Jefferson County, largely because of the basic allowance for housing stipends that soldiers at Fort Drum receive monthly. Those stipends are expected to increase in 2014 by as much as 15 percent for some ranks a gure that is much higher than the military average nationwide.
Cuomo will decide the fate of biodiesel law...

From A1 state counties contain at least 2 percent biodiesel by Oct. 1. By July 2, 2015, all heating oil sold statewide would have to meet that standard. The governor delayed considering the bill for six months because its approval requires an amendment to the refundable heating oil tax credit program for biodiesel purchases, said Julia C. Robbins, executive director of the New York Corn and Soybean Growers Association. That amendment would allow consumers to remain eligible for a tax credit of one cent per gallon for each percent of biodiesel that is blended with heating oil, but theyd no longer be eligible for a refund on the 2 percent of biodiesel that would become mandated by law. For instance, a purchaser of fuel with a mixture with 3 percent biodiesel in heating oil would be eligible for a refund of one cent per gallon instead of three cents; the maximum refund is expected to stay the same at 20 cents per gallon. We worked with the governor to come up with a compromise, and at this point were condent he will sign the bill, Ms. Robbins said. The law would create a direct market for soybean farmers who are now exporting their product overseas, and more competition will give them a better price for their product. In December, Ms. Robbins joined soybean farmers attending the National Biodiesel Board Big Apple Bioheat Tour in New York City, where city ofcials and researchers, along with agriculture groups from across the country, discussed the merits of blending biodiesel fuel with home heating oil. As the largest municipal consumer of heating oil nationwide, New York City implemented a citywide 2 percent biodiesel requirement in October 2012. The blend of biodiesel an alternative fuel most often made from soy, palm or canola oil and heating oil is commonly called bioheat. Bioheat has been used in Europe for more than two decades, but only recently has begun to gain traction in the U.S. heat industry. Research conducted by Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island found that bioheat has little to no negative impact on a burners performance, while also improving emissions, lubricity and efciency of combustion. Levels of sulfur, carbon monoxide, smoke, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxide also are reduced by the blend, studies concluded. Those benets have made it a boon among industry and environmental groups across the country, said John D. Maniscalco, CEO of the New York Oil Heating Association, which represents the industry in New York Citys ve bureaus. This has been proven as efcient and safe, and its been actively used in New York City for two years, said Mr. Maniscalco, who helped lead the push for the legislations approval. We are really pleased that weve cleaned up our heating oil so much, and eventually wed like to get the blend (of biodiesel) up to 20 percent. Across an eight-county region in the north country, the average price per gallon of heating oil decreased slightly from $3.97 on Jan. 6, 2013, to $3.96 on the same day this year, according to the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority. Over the same period in New York City, by contrast, the price per gallon dropped by 2.1 percent, from $4.25 to $4.16; statewide, the average price was $4.07 on Monday, down 1.2 percent from $4.11 on the same day last year. The drop in the price of heating oil over the past 12 months in New York City suggests that the 2 percent biodiesel requirement has helped stabilize prices, Mr. Maniscalco said. He said he believes implementing the statewide requirement would help stabilize the price because the state will be less dependent on foreign crude oil. I think (heating oil) prices would continue to stay where they are or go down if the proposed state law is passed, he said, adding that demand for soybean oil should be a boon for farmers. Farmers in the northern tier are excited about this legislation because it involves soybeans. Right now (the Northeast) gets a lot of soybeans from the Midwest, but I think youll see more soybean growers to work with in the region.
WASHINGTON The biggest public works project in the country high-speed rail between Los Angeles and San Francisco is still on track despite several recent setbacks, California ofcials say. Other observers are increasingly concerned. The $68 billion venture is the rst of its kind in the United States, and its success or failure could shape American transportation policy for decades to come. As a result, the project is under intense scrutiny from Congress, taxpayers and transportation experts around the world. It would be a major engineering feat to whisk passengers between the two cities in less than three hours, which is the goal. To succeed, California leaders must nd their way through a maze of deadlines, lawsuits and regulations that threaten the project. A Sacramento trial judge recently raised serious questions about two fundamental aspects of the project: its business plan and a major funding source. The rulings did not stop work, but they bolstered opponents who argue the whole scheme is unworkable. Some outside observers also raised doubts. The rulings raise so many questions about whether this project still makes financial sense, Joe Nation, a public policy professor at Stanford University, told the San Jose Mercury News. This could turn into a real nightmare. The project is now unpopular with California voters, too, even though they were the ones who got the project off the ground in 2008 when they approved a $10 billion bond measure to help pay for it. Despite the setbacks, Dan Richard, chair of the California High Speed Rail Authority, said the project will go forward. Rather than flouting the
law, were insisting that we can comply with the judges order. This judge for a second time denied demands by opponents of high-speed rail to stop the project or void contracts for work now underway, he wrote in a letter to The Wall Street Journal. From its beginning, the California high-speed rail effort has been held up as a model for the rest of the country. The 2008 bond measure provided far less money than the projects full cost, but it marked the rst time that U.S. voters had approved public borrowing for high-speed rail. President Barack Obamas economic stimulus package, passed the next year, included $8 billion for high-speed rail, which the administration hailed as transformational. Including stimulus money, the Federal Railroad Administration under Obama has awarded $9.9 billion in high-speed rail money to 34 states and the District of Columbia. California secured by far the biggest share, with $4.2 billion. Illinois, the presidents home state, came in second with $1.9 billion. Together, the two states captured more than three out of every ve dollars dedicated to high-speed rail. California and Illinois, along with other states, received a bigger share after newly elected Republican governors in Florida, Ohio and Wisconsin pulled the plug on high-speed rail efforts in their states. California still has not laid any new track for its high-speed rail system, but it has been busy preparing, especially along the 130-mile segment slated to be built rst. The rst stretch is in a relatively at area far from either Los Angeles or San Francisco, because planners wanted to build it quickly in time to use the federal stimulus funds before they expire in 2017. It would run from Madera through Fresno south to Bakerseld.

First chemicals for weapons removed from Syria

ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIRUT The rst batch of the most dangerous chemicals in Syrias arsenal was loaded onto a Danish ship and taken out of the country Tuesday under tight security, an important milestone in the international operation to rid President Bashar Assad of the weapons by midyear. The operation at Syrias port of Latakia took place against the backdrop of a widening civil war and escalating inghting between a chaotic mix of Syrian rebel brigades and
an al-Qaida linked militant group, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. With the rebel-on-rebel fighting now in its fifth day, the shadowy leader of another faction afliated with al-Qaida pleaded with his comrades to stop the spreading clashes, warning it threatened to upend gains made against Syrian government forces. The chemicals were supposed to have been removed from Syria by Dec. 31, but poor security, bad weather and other factors meant the deadline
was missed by a week. The raw materials precursor chemicals for poison gas were moved to the government-held port of Latakia from two sites in Syria and loaded onto the Danish cargo ship, which then set sail, said Sigrid Kaag, the Dutch diplomat coordinating the joint mission by the U.N. and Organization for Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. Kaag said the vessel will remain at sea awaiting the arrival of additional priority chemical materials at the port.
Security for the highly toxic cargo is being provided by warships from Russia, China, Denmark and Norway. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon welcomed the progress. The chemicals removed Tuesday will eventually be transferred to a U.S. ship, the Cape Ray, which has been tted with special machinery. Once aboard the American vessel, the materials will be placed in a titanium reactor that uses heated water and other chemicals to render the
weapons inert. The conrmed use of chemical weapons in the Damascus suburb of Ghouta on Aug. 21, killed hundreds of people, according to the U.S. government. The U.S. and Russia a staunch ally of Syria later reached agreement to eliminate the Assad regimes chemical weapons by mid-2014 in a deal that averted U.S. military strikes against Syria. The infighting between rebel groups is concentrated in parts of northern Syria, spreading Monday to the
northeastern city of Raqqa, a bastion of the al-Qaida-linked Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The group has alienated its opposition rivals, including the extremist Jabhat al-Nusra, for its extremely brutal tactics, including the kidnapping and killing of opponents, journalists and anti-government activists who criticize its practices. Moderate forces among the opposition accuse the group of tarnishing the Syrian revolution and serving Assads interests.

BERLIN Police in Germany said they have seized a large haul of cocaine after the drug smugglers apparently made a mistake that sent the drug to supermarkets instead of to their intended connections. Workers at ve stores in and around Berlin were surprised to find cocaine packed into crates of bananas on Monday a total of 309 pounds. The head of Berlins antidrugs squad said Tuesday that the crates had come from Colombia via the German port of Hamburg and the discovery was pure chance. German news agency dpa quoted Olaf Schremm as saying that the smugglers had probably made a logistical mistake. Authorities have estimated the drugs would have had a street value of about $8.2 million.

Panama Canal Authority looks to advance project

ASSOCIATED PRESS
PANAMA CITY The Panama Canal Authority said Tuesday that it wants to end a standoff over the expansion of the canal by splitting construction costs with the international consortium that was threatening to halt work unless the authority came up with $1.6 billion in extra funding. The authority said Tuesday that it would pay $183 million and Grupo Unidos por el Canal would put in $100 million to continue work for at least two more months while a longterm solution is negotiated. The Spanish-led consortium would have to withdraw its threat to halt work on the ca-
nal by Jan. 20. The consortium, which has said it has run out of cash to fund construction, offered no immediate response to the authoritys offer. The consortium is comprised of Spains Sacyr Vallehermoso, Impregilo of Italy, Jan De Nul of Belgium and Constructora Urbana SA of Panama. It says unexpected problems with the quality of material supposed to be used to make cement spawned massive overruns, and blamed the canal authority for carrying out insufcient geological studies before work began. They havent accepted the proposal or rejected it, canal administrator Jorge Luis Qui-
jano said after meeting with consortium representatives. At least were talking and on their part theres a will to follow through with this. Tuesdays meeting was the rst between the authority and the consortium. The authority met Monday with Spains public works minister, who said the consortium wanted to resolve the dispute within the terms of its contract with the canal administrator. The claimed cost overrun is roughly half of Grupo Unidos por el Canals original $3.2 billion bid to build a third set of locks. Each side has said the other is responsible for the added costs.

ity claimed the business consortium was unjustly trying to force it to pay by threatening to halt work. Panama has estimated the full expansion program will cost $5.2 billion, with the new, wider locks allowing
the 50-mile canal to handle far larger ships. Ofcials have said the work should be nished by June 2015 and that the overall expansion work is 72 percent finished, with the locks at 65 percent.

BAGHDAD A government airstrike killed 25 alQaida-linked militants in a besieged province west of Baghdad amid erce clashes Tuesday between Iraqi special forces and insurgents battling for control of the key cities of Fallujah and Ramadi, Iraqi ofcials said. The al-Qaida gains in the Sunni-dominated province of Anbar once bloody battlegrounds for U.S. troops pose the most serious challenge to Prime Minister Nouri al-Malikis Shiite-led government since the departure of American forces in late 2011. Iraqi forces and fighters from government-allied Sunni tribes have been battling militants to try to recapture the strategic territory, seized last week by an al-Qaida-linked group known as the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant. Iraqi military spokesman Gen. Mohammed al-Askari said the Iraqi air force struck an operations center for the militants on the outskirts of Ramadi, the provincial capital, killing 25 ghters who were holed up inside. He didnt give more details about how the death toll was confirmed but cited intelligence reports. It was not possible to independently verify the militarys claim. The airstrike came after clashes erupted about 12 miles west of Fallujah following the capture of an army ofcer and four soldiers in the area a day earlier, provincial spokesman Dhari al-Rishawi told the Associated Press. There was no immediate word on casualties for those clashes. Al-Malikis government has vowed to rout the militants, calling on Fallujah residents Monday to expel the al-Qaida ghters to avoid an all-out battle. Iraqs Cabinet met Tuesday to discuss the situation in Anbar and called for the mobilization of all efforts to support the army and security services in expelling terrorists, according to a government statement. Military operations would continue, the Cabinet statement added, until Iraq is cleansed of terrorism. In Washington, the Army general who led U.S. forces through some of the deadliest years of the Iraq war said he opposes sending U.S. combat troops in response to the recent gains by militants in Anbar province. Army Chief of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno said he was disappointed by the Iraqi governments loss of control of strategic territory, but the U.S. approach now should be to remain engaged diplomatically to help Iraqi government leaders get their political system back on track.

CUOMOS GOAL: 11 NNY businesses qualify for governors expected plan to increase share of state contracts

GOUVERNEUR First Presbyterian Church will host the Rev. Judy L. Hay at a service at 11 a.m. Sunday at the church, 22 Church St. The Rev. Ms. Hay, a native of Gouverneur, retired from a church in Rochester a year ago. The town of Watertown Planning Board canceled Mondays meeting because of the weather. It has been rescheduled for 7 p.m. Jan. 14, when developer Purcell Construction will make a presentation for a proposed business park off outer Washington Street. According to the state Department of Health, 241,522 state residents now have health insurance coverage after enrolling through the New York State of Health marketplace. Obtaining insurance is a requirement of the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. North country residents donated 16,256 shoeboxes full of school supplies, hygiene items, stuffed animals and small toys for children in global areas of disaster, poverty, disease and conict as part of Operation Christmas Child, an international outreach mission of Samaritans Purse.
An increase in the number of contracts the state will award to disabled-veteran-owned companies could provide a boost to a handful of local businesses. An initial Associated Press report quoted an unnamed state ofcal who said that Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo will set a goal during his State of the State address today of awarding 5 percent of contracts to disabled-veteran-owned companies.
According to a U.S. Small Business Administration directory, there are nine such businesses in Jefferson County and one each in Lewis and St. Lawrence counties. One business that could get a boost is Taylor Concrete Products Inc., Watertown. Though the company primarily supplies materials to other contractors, it does small concrete repair projects for the state Department of Transportation. I think its a good thing, and Im looking forward to see
the details, said Richard T. OConnor, the companys vice president. Peter J. Fazio, director of the Jefferson County Veterans Service Agency, said the change could increase the viability of the businesses, which like nonveteran entities struggle to compete with larger companies. Im sure statewide veterans are happy for the chance to compete, he said. The tax rules are one of several rule changes in recent
years designed to aid veterans across the state. Last week, about $75 million in tax credits went into place offering substantial savings to businesses that hired unemployed post-9/11 military veterans. Those making the hires will receive a tax credit equal to 10 percent of the total wages paid to the veteran during the persons rst full year of employment, up to $5,000. The amount will go up to 15 percent of the veteran hires wages if
the new hire is disabled, with that credit capped at $15,000. The state also has authorized localities to give veterans municipal and school tax breaks and credit military experience when establishing lists for government hiring. In 2011, Gov. Cuomo directed state agencies to consider military experience in licensing, credentialing and granting academic credits from state universities.

St. Lawrence County and the Adirondacks dodged the worst of the severe winter storm battering much of the Northeast, but that didnt help 20 Cape Air flights from the Ogdensburg, Massena and Saranac Lake airports that were canceled because of poor weather conditions elsewhere. Cape Air spokeswoman Trish Lorino said the cancellations were on a caseby-case basis, depending on conditions in Boston and Albany the two
destinations Cape Air serves from the three north country airports. Mrs. Lorino said a number of cancellations included flights that were grounded in other locations. We have a team of people here internally in our operations division that constantly monitors the weather, she said. Its an ongoing thing. Mrs. Lorino advised people to check the status of their ights at capeair. com. Its significant, she said of the number of cancellations.
The Ogdensburg and Massena international airports have two or three regular ights daily to Albany and Boston, and Saranac Lakes Adirondack Regional Airport has daily flights to Boston. Adirondack Regional Airport Manager Corey Hurwitch said the primary weather concern over the last several days has been wind, with receiving airports reporting more difculty with snow and ice. Ogdensburg Bridge and Port Authority Executive Director Wade A. Davis
said the Ogdensburg airport itself has experienced no problems. We continue to maintain the runway and were open for business, Mr. Davis said. Meanwhile, all American Eagle inbound and outbound flights at the Watertown International Airport near Dexter have been canceled until this evening at the earliest.

USE ON RISE: Proposed measure would require outdoor burners to conform with state regulations
By JACOB TIERNEY
TIMES STAFF WRITER
POTSDAM Village police on Monday charged Casey A. Hall, 24, of Maple Street, with ve counts of cruelty to animals. Police allege that Ms. Hall abandoned two dogs and three cats in her unheated apartment for approximately a week, during which time the temperature dropped below zero. Police said they responded to a complaint from Ms. Halls landlord, Frederick D. Robar Sr., who had been under the impression that she abandoned the apartment and didnt expect her to return. Police said that the apartment was littered with animal feces and that they later found Ms. Hall staying at a friends residence. Police said she may have been nancially unable to keep the apartment heated, playing a role in why she left. She was issued appearance tickets for Village Court. The animals were taken to Potsdam Humane Society animal shelter. Police said there were several bags of food in the apartment from which the animals were eating, but there was no water for them. Animal Shelter Executive Director Alysia Wells Maynard said Tuesday the animals were in stable condition. We are awaiting the court decision as to whether we will put the animals up for adoption or they will be returned to Ms. Hall, Mrs. Maynard said.
POTSDAM A law under consideration by the Town Council would bring increasingly popular outdoor furnaces in line with state regulations. Outdoor furnaces have not been regulated by the town, but with their popularity on the rise and changing environmental restrictions enacted by the state, the town decided more than a year ago to begin crafting a law. The nal product was presented to the board at a meeting Tuesday, with members voting unanimously to hold a
public hearing on the law Feb. 11. If passed, the law will require all new outdoor furnaces to comply with state regulations. In addition, all furnace owners will have to acquire a permit from the town code enforcement ofce. Those who already own wood-burning furnaces that do not conform to state regulations would not be forced to get rid of them, although they still will have to acquire a permit from the town within a year after the law passes. The law also gives the town board the power to revoke any
permit if smoke or emissions from the furnace interfere with the reasonable enjoyment of life, safety or property, cause damage to vegetation or property, or smell unreasonably strong. Breaking the law could lead to a $250 ne or imprisonment for a week, with subsequent offenses leading to a ne of up to $1,000 or a month in jail. There is no estimate of how many Potsdam residents use outdoor furnaces, which usually burn wood to heat a home, but town Supervisor Marie C. Regan said the numbers are on the rise.
Theres more than there used to be, she said. The energy cost savings of wood-burning furnaces appeal to a growing number of town residents, including James A. Grant, the town boards newest member. Tuesdays meeting was Mr. Grants rst in his ofcial capacity. Town Attorney Francis P. Cappello said the law was created to bring the town in line with state regulations, and should not be a burden to most owners of outdoor furnaces. Were not going to turn anybodys furnace off if thats how they heat their home, he said.
POTSDAM With dozens of hours and thousands of dollars already spent clearing away the result of the recent ice storm, the end is nearly in sight for both the town and village. Ofcials say, however, there is still plenty of work to do. Town Highway Superintendent John A. Keleher estimates that the cost of man hours and materials like salt and fuel for snow-renoval equipment totaled $80,000 in the rst week of cleanup alone, and there are still some areas that need to be cleared. We use a lot of extra salt trying to soften the roads up, because weve had the grader on it for the last few weeks, Mr. Keleher said. His cost estimates also do not include the 12-hour day town employees worked Monday to battle the rain that was swiftly turning to ice as the temperature dropped back below freezing. The weekends thaw proved both blessing and curse for workers. Warm weather softened the ice and made it easier to clear away, but steady rain seeped beneath the existing ice. When temperatures dipped again, the water froze, making an already-thick ice coat even less manageable. That rain from yesterday has gone through the snow and settled at the bottom, said Bruce Henderson, head of the villages Department of Public Works. Clearing roads and parking lots after the storm did not take the village signicantly longer than normal after a snowfall, Mr. Henderson said, but sidewalks are proving a more difcult challenge. The village has 38 miles of sidewalks. Workers can clear the sidewalks of a normal snowfall in six or seven hours, Mr. Henderson said, but with the thick ice, progress has slowed to a crawl. Since the storm, workers have been able to clear only about 2 miles of sidewalk a day. Thats our biggest fight right now, he said. Mr. Henderson said he could not yet put a price tag on the villages storm cleanup efforts, but he said workers have spent 60 hours cleaning sidewalks in the last week alone. This will cost the village about $1,500 before benefits, overtime or equipment costs are taken into account. Both the town and the village expect to nish cleanup efforts by this weekend, when temperatures are expected to rise again.
Farmers markets see more food stamps

By KATIE ANDERSON
TIMES STAFF WRITER
Food stamp usage increased 83 percent at farmers markets across St. Lawrence County this past season. GardenShare Executive Director Aviva M. Gold said Monday that Massena, Norwood and Gouverneur markets as well as Martins Online Farmstand martinsfarmstand. locallygrown.net joined the program last season thanks to a $10,000 grant from the states Fresh Connect Farmers Markets program. Our goal was to double the amount of food stamps being used, so we got pretty close, Ms. Gold said. Canton, Potsdam and Ogdensburg markets have been involved with the EBT/food stamp program for several
years, she said. I had people shopping at the market last season that Ive never seen before, and Ive lived in Gouverneur my whole life, Gouverneur Farmers Market manager Lorraine W. Taylor said. Using food stamps for fresh fruits and vegetables is much better than having to go to a store to buy boxed mac and cheese or things like that. Ms. Taylor said a farmer who joined in 2013, Steve Brooks of Heuvelton, had a very successful rst season. The food stamps brought out people who dont usually shop at the market, Ms. Taylor said. Linda M. Kingston, Madrid, who participates in the Canton and Potsdam farmers markets, said she also had a successful
season. They now have debit card machines, which brings in more business because many people dont carry cash on them, she said. Mrs. Kingston also said she noticed food stamps and coupons distributed through the North Country Childrens Clinics Women, Infants and Children program bringing more business to the markets last season. The food stamp increase didnt increase business considerably for all markets, however. Overall business throughout the county last season was consistent with the previous year, Ms. Gold said. Ms. Taylor said that even with the addition of the food stamp program, the 2013 sea-
son was still slow for her four farmers and especially her crafters. One can only guess, but I think its just the bad economy, she said. I really want to see the market grow. The Canton Farmers Market also has been suffering from slower days the past two years, as the villages Main Street was under construction. From vendor feedback, Ive heard that the past two years were slow, said Zoe A. Baker, DeKalb, manager of the Canton Farmers Market. This past season was Ms. Bakers rst as manager. She said that although Canton had a winter market at First Presbyterian Church, 17 Park St., in 2012, vendors decided not to do one this year because of poor turnout.
Ogdensburg man faces burglary, threat charges

Later the next day, Mr. Montroy told police that he returned home to nd his house burglarized by Mr. Binion. Mr. Binion was arraigned in Oswegatchie Town Court and was taken to St. Lawrence County jail, Canton, where he is being held on $5,000 cash or $10,000 bond.

CRAZY WEATHER TO CONTINUE

WET, DRY, WARM, COLD: Meteorologists say north country can expect fluctuations through February
By KATHERINE CLARK
TIMES STAFF WRITER
People in the Watertown area are used to a winter full of lake-effect snowstorms and low temperatures. But 2014 has started off with strange weather patterns, with a wind chill of minus 35 and a high of 40 degrees within a few days. This unpredictable weather pattern is expected to continue through February. Right now Id say this isnt unusual, said Mark W. Wysocki, state climatologist and meteorology lecturer at Cornell University, Ithaca. You should expect warm, cold, snow and icy weather. Mr. Wysocki said everyone is talking about how cold it is and comparing it to past storms. But what no one is talking about is the fact that the unpredictable weather is thanks to the neutrality of the ENSO or El Nino/Nina Southern Oscillation factor, a temperature balance in the Pacic Ocean between Peru and Australia. The ocean temperatures are causing widespread variations in weather around the United States and Canada and even parts of Europe. Mr. Wysocki said this weather pattern has not been seen in 10 years. This year there is no controlling factor, Mr. Wysocki said. Over a short period of time weve seen record highs and lows set. Mr. Wysocki said during El Nino (the warm phase of ENSO), the jet streams position shows a dip in the eastern Pacic. The stronger the El Nino, the farther east in the eastern Pacic the dip in the jet stream occurs. During La Ninas, the dip in the jet stream shifts west of its normal position toward the central Pacic. Both high and low temperatures set the tone for weather patterns to emerge. ENSO-neutral is the period when neither El Nino or La Nina is present. The surface

Whiteout conditions greeted drivers Tuesday throughout Jefferson and Lewis counties.
All bets are off and we can expect any kind of weather from wet to dry to cold and then warm again.
Mark W. Wysocki, Cornell University climatologist
temperature in the Pacific Ocean was 86 degrees off Australia and 75 degrees off Peru on Tuesday. All bets are off and we can expect any kind of weather from wet to dry to cold and then warm again, Mr. Wysocki said. The snow is expected to continue to fall through this afternoon. From Thursday through Sunday, the temperature is expected to rise 36 to 40 degrees, returning to below-freezing temperatures
for Monday. Its crazy outside. Today it went from snowing to sunny to raining and snowing again, Monica P. Atanasova, of Watertown, said Monday. Mrs. Atanasova, owner of Eurocakes, a bakery in the Paddock Arcade, said the unpredictable weather means she has to be on her toes as a mother and a business owner. I need to make sure I have supplies stocked up in case new shipments cant be delivered, she said. When school is canceled or closed early, she said, she and her employees must make arrangements for her children. Id heard about the weather here being crazy, but Ive been here 10 years and this winter is very different, Mrs. Atanasova said. According to climatologist Samantha Borisoff, since Dec. 30 the highest temperature in Watertown was re-
corded Monday at 51 degrees and the lowest was minus 32 degrees on Jan. 2. In Ogdensburg, the highest temperature over that period was 46 degrees, recorded Monday, and the lowest was minus 14 degrees on Saturday. A lake-effect snowstorm rolled into the city Monday, dropping several inches of snow. Just come in from shoveling driveway and sidewalk the wind blowing the snow around so hard I can barely see the neighbors homes across the street, Norbert Worden wrote in a Facebook post Monday evening. Now to take a snoozer and go back outside in around four hours to shovel all over. On Tuesday, the storm created whiteout conditions and caused city ofces, shops and medical ofces to close.

Across the country, if you go to Miami right now, its 51 degrees, and in Georgia its in the 20s or in Los Angeles its 53 degrees, Mr. Wysocki said. For them its really cold. The misery is being shared all across the world.
Snow makes a mess of Lewis County roads

By CHRISTINA SCANLON
TIMES STAFF WRITER
LOWVILLE Emergency personnel started elding calls Monday afternoon in Lewis County, as snow began falling. Weather forecasts predict 5 feet to fall by this afternoon. Tow trucks were out in force, according to Jo Ann Groff, of Terry Groff Towing, Copenhagen. We started about 3 oclock yesterday, Mrs. Groff said Tuesday afternoon. Her drivers, she said, had not returned to the garage. Its been nonstop. They are plucking one after another, she said. For safety reasons, two men were traveling with each tow truck. They would have the windows down to see and the passenger could help direct the driver, Mrs. Groff said. Undersheriff James M. Monnat was at the scene of a vehicle pileup on Route 12 at the high bridge, just outside the village of Lowville, about 8:45 a.m. Tuesday. By noon, he said, emergency calls had slowed somewhat
since the morning. There havent been a lot of accidents, just people off the road or stuck in the road, he said. Its not so much the snowfall, but the wind. There is zero visibility, he said. If people just stay put, well be OK. Plow truck drivers in the town of Denmark were kept off the roads because of the dangerous conditions. Drivers remained at the highway garage in case of an emergency call to clear roads if necessary. Were just waiting for the wind to die down so we can see, Denmark town Highway Superintendent Patrick F. Mahar said. Lewis County Legislative Chairman Michael A. Tabolt, R-Croghan, said he received a phone call Monday evening from Gov. Andrew M. Cuomos ofce. The conference call included representatives from counties across the north country, as well as state Homeland Security Commissioner Jerome M. Hauer, state Department of Transportation Director Rob-

Black River board appoints 2 to sewer group

BLACK RIVER The village held a very brief Board of Trustees meeting Monday due to the impending storm. Mayor Leland J. Carpenter was designated the voting representative for the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems group that has formed to address issues related to the new state program. The group is made up of representatives of the towns and villages affected by the MS4 designation, with the town of LeRay as the lead agency. Black River village clerk/treasurer Kathie B. Montigelli will be the alternate for the MS4 group. The village trustees also agreed to participate equally with the other municipalities to cover costs incurred by the MS4 group. The town of LeRay is working on drafting intermunicipal agreements relating to the group. The board also was informed the Planning Board has given approval for AT&T to install a backup power generator at the cell tower on Maple Street.
The families of
HERRINGS Through write-in votes, an entire new board was elected for the village in November. Newcomer Christal L. Loefer was elected mayor and former board members James D. Camidge and David M. Arnold were elected trustees. The trio conducted its rst meeting Monday following a Deferiet-Herrings Water Commission meeting. Mayor Loeffler said she wanted the board updated on the joint water project with the village of Deferiet, so she invited representatives of Bernier, Carr and Associates, Watertown, to the meeting. Mr. Arnold pointed out the water project began when he was mayor. He served from 1998 to 2010, resigning for medical reasons. Im happy with the project. We denitely need it, he said. We dont drink the water here. Mr. Camidge agreed, noting he was glad its a joint project we could not do it on our own. Mrs. Loeffler said she was excited about the progress of the water project. Its a disadvantage not having clean water and very frustrating, she said. Relating what Bernier, Carr had reported, the mayor said there are a few more easements to be signed until the village can move forward with construction, which should take three to four months. The engineering rm estimated the project should be completed by the end of the year. The new board is beginning to reorganize village affairs. It has hired a new clerk, Steven H. Fitzgerald, following the resignation of Nancy J. Gerber. It terminated village maintenance employee Richard A. Beirman Jr. and hired Patrick OShaughnessy. Larry J. Dobransky was hired to plow the village streets. Mr. Arnold said the new board has spent the past month getting the village paperwork in order and has found some discrepancies where bills were not paid. I am grateful for the experience and expertise of Mr. Arnold, the new mayor said. The village also has had equipment failure with its snowplow and has made arrangements with the town of Wilna and village of Deferiet to have the streets maintained. The new village board said it has begun reviewing the budget to make changes in the new scal year. Mrs. Loefer said it will plan to set aside funds to have the roof replaced on the municipal building and hopes to set up a reserve fund to cover emergencies. When asked about talk of dissolving the village, the new board was adamantly opposed. Were not interested, the mayor said. I dont think the residents want it. It would have to be brought up to a public vote and it would never pass, Mr. Arnold said. Only a select few want it. No one has ever come to me about it, Mr. Camidge said. I think people get discouraged and then the talk begins, but most dont want it, Mrs. Loefer said.

CANTON A Madrid woman was sentenced to jail Monday in St. Lawrence County Court for crashing her vehicle into a police car May 2 while eeing the scene of a crime. Erin J. White, 27, of 2084 Route 310, was sentenced to six months in the county jail and ve years probation by County Judge Jerome J. Richards for second-degree assault and third-degree criminal mischief.

He was sent to county jail, where he is being held on $20,000 cash bail or $40,000 bond. Triston L. Glenn, 31, of 313 Belmont Courts, Ogdensburg, pleaded not guilty to thirddegree criminal possession of a controlled substance. On Oct. 15, Mr. Glenn allegedly was in possession of cocaine with the intent to sell at 157 Belmont Courts in Ogdensburg. He was released under probation supervision. Bryan A. Pribble, 25, and Kelsey L. Rubadue, 21, both of 157 Belmont Courts, Ogdensburg, pleaded not guilty to first-degree criminal nuisance, a felony, and endangering the welfare of a child, a misdemeanor. The two are accused of allowing the sale of controlled substances at their home between Oct. 1 and Oct. 15, while their 1-year-old daughter was present in the home. Mr. Pribble was released
under probation supervision. Ms. Rubadue was sent to county jail without bail. Tomah Goodale, 24, Philadelphia, pleaded not guilty to second-degree criminal mischief.

Documents state that Mr. Johnson on March 1 was driving on County Route 27 in Canton with a blood alcohol content of 0.18 percent, the state threshold for aggravated DWI. DWI is charged when the BAC is 0.08 percent or higher. He has a previous misdemeanor DWI conviction in Huron Town Court, Wayne County, on Sept. 24, 2008. Sentencing was adjourned to March 7. Emerson A. Northrop, 27, of 29C Marshall Ave., Star Lake, pleaded not guilty to third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.

Peterkin, 32, of Brooklyn, pleaded not guilty to two counts of third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance and two counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance. Mr. Peterkin allegedly sold cocaine to a condential informant in Ogdensburg on March 19 and April 30. Mr. Peterkin was arraigned previously on the same charges, but they were dismissed Oct. 7 when Judge Richards determined that the testimony to a grand jury by Ogdensburg Police Narcotics Enforcement Detective Daniel C. Mousaw provided information about an uncharged crime, which might have swayed the jury to indict Mr. Peterkin. Mr. Peterkin was sent to county jail without bail. Taquan Nimmons, 28, an inmate at Gouverneur Correctional Facility, pleaded not guilty to felony second-degree assault. Mr. Nimmons allegedly attacked an ofcer who escorted him to the prison infirmary Sept. 30, then punched the face of another officer who came to help.

Sport vehicle shop to open in DeKalb

By MARTHA ELLEN
TIMES STAFF WRITER
DEKALB JUNCTION A sport recreational vehicle sales and service shop is expected to open at the beginning of March on Route 11 in DeKalb. Baker Power Sports, near Route 812, will offer pre-owned motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles and snowmobiles, and also will service them. A franchise might open down the line, said
owner Robert B. Baker, Hermon. It should be a fantastic location, he said. The property was last a tractor restoration store, so it already is set up for a garage and showroom. Weve done a full renovation, Mr. Baker said. He said he planned to offer affordable used equipment. Thats a goal, he said.
The store initially will employ three people. Mr. Baker previously managed Nesco in Evans Mills and worked for Blevins Bros. in Ogdensburg. I do enjoy riding and working on the machines, he said. There is a passion behind it. DeKalb Supervisor John M. Frary welcomed Baker Power Sports to the town. I believe its something the area needs. Hes been re-
modeling the store, he said. For a young guy, he has wellthought-out plans. The St. Lawrence County Planning Board had no issues with the planned operation. The site already has an entrance onto Route 11. Its a pretty straight shot there, with plenty of room for a couple of cars, Planning Deputy Director Jason C. Pfotenhauer said.

MASSENA The last of five defendants accused of participating in a conspiracy to smuggle undocumented aliens into the United States through the St. Regis Mohawk Reservation pleaded guilty to the charge Tuesday in federal court. Oleh Solomon, age not available, a citizen of Ukraine, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court, Utica, to conspiracy to bring aliens into the United States and transporting aliens. Sentencing was tentatively set for May 16. The plea cancels a trial scheduled for this week. According to an indictment handed up in the matter, Mr. Solomon arranged to have aliens who had illegally crossed the border from Canada transported within the United States, for the purpose of nancial gain. According to court documents, the case began Feb. 24, when U.S. Border Patrol agents observed a white Mitsubishi Galant warranting elevated suspicion because it was making numerous movements around the Walmart parking lot in Massena with no one getting in or out. A white Cadillac Escalade pulled into the lot and parked next to the Galant, with four people getting out of the Escalade and into the back seat of the Galant. An agent followed the Galant containing six people onto Route 420 before halting it, nding undocumented aliens and Mr. Solomon, who is in the country legally. Simulta-
neously, other agents followed the Escalade to a residence in Massena, where agents saw the driver, later identied as Ian R.E. Tarbell, go inside, come out and drive away in a Chevrolet Silverado onto North Raquette Road. The vehicle was halted on ONeill Road, where Mr. Tarbell allegedly admitted he knew he was transporting illegal aliens from St. Regis Village, Quebec, to Massena. Mr. Tarbell, Hogansburg, and Dariusz Podgajny, a Polish national, also have pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges, with Mr. Tarbell due to be sentenced Feb. 14 and Mr. Podgajnys sentencing slated for March 14. Mr. Podgajny was alleged to have picked up the aliens in Toronto and driven them to Cornwall, Ontario, where he facilitated their being smuggled into the United States. John Benedict and Angela Johnson, both of St. Regis Village, Quebec, also have entered guilty pleas, being accused of using their residence on the reservation as a place for the aliens to stay until they could be transported into the United States. Mr. Benedict is due to be sentenced Feb. 7, while Ms. Johnsons sentencing is set for May 2. Two Polish nationals pleaded guilty in July to re-entering the United States without permission after previously having been ordered deported and were sentenced to about ve months time served in federal custody. They also were ordered deported.
Mayor defends comment about snow cyclists...

From B1 riding his 2011 Specialized Hardrock bicycle along State Street on Sunday night when it was struck by a truck. The $700 bike ended up a mangled mess. After suffering serious injuries, Mr. LaBarge remains in good condition at Upstate Medical University, Syracuse, following four hours of surgery Tuesday. Mr. LaBarge is forced to ride a bike because he suffers from seizures from injuries he suffered in an accident 25 years ago, he said from his hospital room Tuesday afternoon. I was not happy about the comments when I heard about them, he said. Some people have to use a bike for transportation. Mr. LaBarge, a carrier for the Watertown Daily Times, had just picked up a few grocery items for a friend from the Great American before Sundays accident happened less than a block away. When he was hit, Mr. LaBarge was thrown about 10 feet and landed in a snowbank. He initially was taken to Samaritan Medical Center and then transferred to the Syracuse hospital, where he is being treated for a broken pelvis and hip. He will be out of work for months, he said. The driver, Jason W. Carr, 41, of 27866 Middle Road, Watertown, did not stop, but returned to the scene after noticing his 2008 Dodge pickup truck was damaged. He drove back to nd the ambulance and firetruck still there, Watertown Police Detective Sgt. Joseph R. Donoghue said. Mr. Carr ended up being cited only with failure to use due care as he allegedly caused an injury to a bicyclist. Mr. LaBarge never saw the pickup. He just got a glimpse of its headlights, got hit from behind and then the driver just took off. Subsequently, the state bike coalition criticized the mayor for suggesting people who do not own a vehicle and ride their bikes in the winter are criminals. On Monday, Angie Schmitt, a Cleveland, Ohio-based blogger, wrote a story for Streetsblog Network, an Internet publication that covers trafc and city life. On Tuesday morning, Mr. Graham still said he did not regret his comments, although he then went on to expand his views to people riding in wheelchairs and pushing baby strollers in city streets during the winter. Its not a question of taking their rights away and Im picking on them, he said. Its absolutely about good judgment. He also mentioned a Canton man who was killed the evening of Dec. 23 while riding to work, after which the motorist ed. Richard F. Morrow, 69, of Ellis Road, died when he was struck by a car on County Route 27 in the village. The driver, Daniel W. Lester, 28, of 8 Heuvelton St., Rensselaer Falls, was charged with second-degree vehicular manslaughter, leaving the scene of a fatal motor vehicle accident, driving while intoxicated and several other felonies. Detective Donoghue, who knows Mr. LaBarge, said he feels bad for what happened to him. Hes also worried about what will happen to him while he recovers. He has a heart of gold, the detective said, calling him a hard worker and a guy who likes to help others. While he doesnt agree with the mayor, Detective Donoghue said bicyclists should not be in the road. Generally, nothing makes winter bicycling illegal, but he expressed his concerns. Its one thing if its a bright, sunny day; another if the weather is treacherous, he said. And bikers should always wear bright-colored clothing, he said. Ice- and snow-covered roads can make it too hazardous either a vehicle or the bike can easily veer and collide with one another, he said, noting cyclists also can cause trafc accidents involving two oncoming vehicles.

He was arrested at 6:06 p.m. at the store and charged with seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and petit larceny. He was issued an appearance ticket for Watertown Town Court.
River groups urge...

From B1 options. Its time to get away from Band-Aid approaches and toward a long-term, comprehensive and permanent solution, said Robert Hirschfeld, a water policy specialist at the Prairie Rivers Network. D. Lee Willbanks, executive director of Save the River, based in Clayton, said Tuesday afternoon that there were multiple long-term benets to the physical barrier strategy. We see it time and time again, he said. Once an invasive gets into a system, you cant unwind it; you cant take it back. However, the barriers are the most expensive options, with a cost of as much as $18.4 billion, and could take about 25 years to develop, since it would require an extensive reworking of Chicagos ood-control and sewage treatment systems in addition to building the dams. Multiple industry groups also have complained that such an option would negatively affect their operations. Other methods presented by the Corps would use different methods of technologies and upgrades to the current electric barrier, which faces accusations of limited effectiveness. Another would create a buffer zone with multiple control technologies. The cheapest approach would step up use of existing measures such as netting carp and treating the water with chemicals, at a cost of $68 million a year. On Tuesday afternoon, U.S. Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, said in a statement that he looked forward to reviewing the ndings of the study prepared by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and discussing them with local stakeholders. Combating invasive species is important to ensuring the economic and environmental well-being of the region for years to come, he said.

From B1 country to help meet the mental health needs of the region. The announcement by Mr. Cuomo ended months of uncertainty over the future of the center after the state Ofce of Mental Health proposed closing the facility. Task Force Chairman Charles W. Kelly said, The task force thought (staying active) was a good idea so we could do the leg work for the state. Mr. Kelly, speaking at a meeting Tuesday, said the task force will monitor the implementation of the transition to ensure the communitys needs are protected. The task force will continue meeting monthly until it feels its work is done, Mr. Kelly said. Although the task force plans to continue operating, Mr. Kelly also used Tuesdays meeting to thank everyone involved who helped reverse the decision to close the center. We could not have accomplished what we did without everyone, he said. Everybody had a job to do and everybody did it well. Mayor William D. Nelson said, This was like a well-oiled machine, before commending Mr. Kelly for his work as chairman. Mr. Nelson said he believes the task force made the right move in speaking from the heart and meeting personally with Mr. Cuomo. I was never so proud in my life, he said. Virginia E. Davey, local president of the Public Employees Federation, said, It just brings tears to my eye. What you did was incredible. Mrs. Davey said she wished everyone could have been with the centers employees when they found out that their jobs had been saved. The people there are so grateful. Jamie Dafoe Weber, who has a child who has used the psychiatric centers services several times and who organized an online petition to save the center, said she couldnt be more proud of being a part of this group.
December ice storm cost city $31,000

By SEAN EWART
JOHNSON NEWSPAPERS
OGDENSBURG An ice storm that battered Ogdensburg from Dec. 20 to 22 cost the city nearly $31,000 according to the Department of Public Works. According to an estimate compiled Tuesday by Public Works Supervisor Gregg E. Harland and administrative assistant Maureen Manke, the city used 220 tons of salt and 2,000 gallons of diesel fuel clearing roads. In total, the city spent $9,368 on salt, $7,240 on diesel and just over $14,000 on labor. City Manager John M. Pinkerton said the cleanup isnt really over yet because of
the amount of ice thats still on the roads and sidewalks. Were still working, he said. In particular, the ice has made clearing sidewalks a difcult task. Mr. Pinkerton said although homeowners are responsible for clearing their own sidewalks, the city has been lenient this time due to the fact that DPW is struggling with the ice as much as anyone else. He said the citys snow removal equipment cant cut through the ice as quickly as it would like on the city sidewalks. We cant do a lot to chastise people when our equipment cant even do it, he said. We need some thawing before we can get some of it done.

Saints slow start costly in loss to Catamounts

BACK TO ACTION: SLU, playing first game since Dec. 14, falls, 4-2
By CAP CAREY
TIMES SPORTSWRITER
CANTON St. Lawrence Universitys rst mens hockey game since Dec. 14 was strange on many accounts. The Saints appeared out of sorts in the early going, which could be expected, and they wound up losing, 4-2, to the University of Vermont before a sparse crowd of 851 in a nonconference game at Appleton Arena on Tuesday night. The crowd was impacted by winter weather and students on break. There was no snowfall in Canton, but at game time the wind chill was about minus-11 degrees and some fans in outlying areas opted to skip the game. The Saints dropped their fth game in a row and never
really looked like their usual selves with the exception of a brief stretch late in the second period. Before Tuesday, the last Saints contest had been a 5-1 loss to the Catamounts in Burlington, Vt., on Dec. 14. Vermont had since played ve games. You try to hope (rest) is a positive and youve got a little energy and maybe they are a little tired, SLU coach Greg Carvel said. That wasnt the case. They were a team that was ring on all cylinders and we looked like a team that hadnt played in a month for the rst half of the game. I thought in the second half, we started to play a little better. They got two goals where our defensemen fell over. Just little things like that, it all adds up.
The Saints (8-10-2) were unfortunate in a few instances Tuesday. Vermont (11-6-3) scored its rst goal 9 minutes and 20 seconds into the game when a backhander from Connor Brickley went through some legs and hit a St. Lawrence player and deected into the net past Saints goalie Kyle MacDonald, making his rst start. It was kind of a soft backhand that I think went off somebodys leg and redirected, Carvel said. Vermont tried to make it 2-0 in the rst when Brady Shaw got a breakaway opportunity at 13:54. But MacDonald kept composed and used his leg pad to block the shot. See VERMONT C4

Less than two weeks after reconstructive right knee surgery in February 2013, Lindsey Vonn already was sounding a positive note, saying she was really looking forward to Sochi and defending her Olympic downhill gold medal. Along the way to the next Winter Games, though, Vonn began facing more setbacks. As shed move past one, another would surface. In the end, it was too much, even for Vonn, the most accomplished U.S. ski racer in history. ExVonn pected to be one of the biggest stars at the upcoming Games, Vonn announced Tuesday exactly one month before the opening ceremony she wont be able to race in Russia. In a Facebook posting, Vonn said she is devastated to miss the Olympics, but the reality has sunk in that my knee is just too unstable to compete at this level. Her personal publicist, Lewis Kay, said in a statement the 29-year-old from Vail, Colo., will have knee surgery again shortly. Like many in her risk-lled sport, Vonn has dealt with injuries often, particularly at major events. She withdrew midway through the 2011 world championships because of a concussion. She raced with a severely bruised shin at the last Olympics. She skipped a race at the 2009 worlds after slicing her thumb open on a champagne bottle. She hurt her knee in training and missed a pair of races at the 2007 worlds. She took a scary fall during training at the 2006 Olympics, then left the hospital to compete. Shes come back, Vonns father, Alan Kildow, said. Vonn left the 2010 Vancouver Games with two medals: the rst Olympic downhill gold for an American woman, and a bronze in the super-G. She is also a fourtime overall World Cup champion, by far the most recognized name in Alpine skiing.
BLACKSBURG, Va. Tyler Ennis was standing at the top of the key when he suddenly found himself wide open, and as the small but suddenly energized crowd at Cassell Coliseum looked on, he swished a 3-pointer, one of his three in the game. Enniss shot set off of a 160 run that silenced the crowd and helped No. 2 Syracuse to a 72-52 victory over Virginia Tech on Tuesday night.
We got a little bit of a lead and we wanted to extend it as much as possible, keep making stops, Ennis said after scoring 13 points for the Orange, whose lead ballooned to 60-40 before a putback dunk by the Hokies with 6:16 to play.

success for granted, he said. A quick glance at the roster shows why Florida State (14-0) will enter 2014 as the Fisher favorite. The Seminoles return Heisman quarterback Jameis Winston for his sophomore season and lose just three senior offensive starters. Florida State must replace four senior defensive starters and Fisher said he thinks there are up to three underclassmen who have decisions to make about a possible move to the NFL. The future is bright, freshman cornerback Jalen Ramsey said. We know what it takes now. We know how it feels. We dont be disappointed next year from not being here. We want to make this thing a dynasty. Florida State is back to where it should always be. That senior class was Fishers first as head coach and was the cornerstone of the new foundation. The 2011 class, however, was widely considered the No. 1 recruiting class in the country and one of the best in school history. Then theres the 2012 class that includes Winston, another handful of starters and more young talent that had to wait their turn. This was not an old team that will need to replace starters all over the eld. I dont care how talented you are, Fisher maintained.

BIG ROAD VICTORY: Backup goalie Poulin
gives N.Y. spark over struggling Toronto

ASSOCIATED PRESS
TORONTO Frans Nielsen, Calvin De Haan and Cal Clutterbuck scored third-period goals to lead the New York Islanders past the Toronto Maple leafs 5-3 on Tuesday night. New York (16-22-7) kicked off a six-game road trip with their second win in two nights with backup Kevin Poulin in goal. Poulin relieved injured starter Evgeni Nabokov on Monday and backstopped the Islanders 7-3 win over Dallas. Poulin made 23 saves against the Maple Leafs. It was another frustrating loss for Toronto (21-18-5), which outshot the Islanders 26-25 in its rst game since being beaten 7-1 at home by the New York Rangers on Saturday night. That snapped a threegame winning streak. The Maple Leafs got within 4-3 when Nazem Kadris shot deected in off Joffrey Lupul with 3:05 left for his 13th goal. Nielsens power-play goal, his 16th of the season, broke a 2-2 tie at 3:41 while Lupul served a goalie interference penalty. De Haan scored his rst NHL goal when his slap shot from outside the blue line hit Toronto defenseman Dion Phaneufs stick and bounded past goalie Jonathan Bernier, who wasnt sharp in his sixth straight start. Bernier got the start despite allowing ve goals on 32 shots

against the Rangers. Tyler Bozak and Mason Raymond also scored for Toronto, 14-10-1 at home.
LIGHTNING 4, JETS 2
Martin St. Louis scored the tiebreaking goal in the third period and added an empty-netter to lead Tampa Bay past host Winnipeg in a penalty-filled game. Valtteri Filppula and Ondrej Palat also scored for the Lightning, which won for the sixth time in seven road games. They handed the Jets their fourth consecutive loss overall. Olli Jokinen and Dustin Byfuglien scored for Winnipeg.
COYOTES 6, FLAMES 0
At Glendale, Ariz., Thomas Greiss stopped 27 shots, Lauri Korpikoski had a goal and two assists, and Phoenix rolled past Calgary. Coming off a disappointing loss to Philadelphia, Phoenix took control of what was a tight-checking game with three goals in the second period. Unlike Saturday, when they blew a pair of two-goal leads, the Coyotes kept pushing behind Greiss second career shutout to win in regulation for the rst time since beating the Islanders on Dec. 12. Mikkel Boedker, Shane Doan, Martin Hanzal and Michael Stone each had a goal and an

assist for Phoenix. The Flames were shut out for the fourth time in six games and have lost nine of 11.
FLYERS 3, DEVILS 2 (OT)

Brayden Schenn scored at 1:50 of overtime and the Flyers beat the Devils in Newark, N.J., after giving up a late shorthanded goal that forced the ex-
tra session. Claude Giroux and Scott Hartnell also scored for Philadelphia, which ended a sixgame road trip with a 5-1 record. Ray Emery made 31 saves and won for the eighth time in nine games. Michael Ryder tied it at 2 on a short-handed goal with 30 seconds left in regulation. It came
on a great feed from defenseman Marek Zidlicky, with goalie Martin Brodeur on the bench for an extra skater. Adam Henrique also scored for New Jersey, which is 0-2-1 in its last three games. Schenns game-winner was set up by a great back-door pass by defenseman Nicklas Grossman from the left point.
PREDATORS 3, SHARKS 2
Mattias Ekholms rst NHL goal proved to be the game winner as host Nashville beat San Jose Sharks for its rst victory in four games. David Legwand also had a goal and an assist, and Shea Weber added two assists for the Predators, who have earned points in ve of six games.
Vermont starts fast, tops SLU

From C1 You expect the rst period to be a little sloppy, hands and feet and just getting back into it, SLU forward Greg Carey said. The second two periods, I thought we picked up our play. Vermont extended its lead to 3-0 in the second period. Colin Markison scored a power-play goal at 6:32 and defenseman Nick Luukko scored on a hard shot from the circle at 12:39. SLUs offense woke up late in the second period, scoring two goals in the nal 2:43 to cut Vermonts lead to 3-2 heading into the second intermission. The rst goal for the Saints came on a power play with Brian Ward producing the goal at 17:17. Carey added another goal with 58 seconds left in the period. Unfortunately, for SLU, the spurt came late in the period, giving the Catamounts a chance to regroup in the locker room and denying SLU more time to play with momentum.

We knew we were good and we had to get back to the things that got us up 3-0 and play a solid road game, Luukko said. Any momentum SLU hoped to have going into the nal period went away early when a Saints defenseman slipped, giving the Catamounts a twoon-one breakaway, which resulted in a goal from Jonathan Turk just 90 second into the pe-
riod, closing the scoring. As soon as we got those two quick goals we thought we had the momentum, SLU captain Kyle Essery said. It was tough when they scored 1:30 into the third period. But we didnt give up. We kept going. At the end, we couldnt pull out the win. In its other 18 games this season the Saints averaged 3.78 goals. In the past two games
against Vermont, the team averaged only 1.5. They check tight, Carey said. They try to match against us and they are a fast team. If you arent moving just as fast, they get above you and make it difcult for you to get through the neutral zone and they box you out in places. They kind of really take away from our offensive chances.
Dolphins poor nish costly to Ireland

ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI Jeff Ireland is out after six seasons as general manager of the Miami Dolphins, who failed to reach the playoffs the past ve years. In a brief announcement Tuesday, Ireland and owner Stephen Ross said they mutually agreed to part ways. Ireland had been unpopular with fans for several years, and a late-season collapse by the team last month left his job in jeopardy. The Dolphins, who nished 8-8, said they would conduct an immediate search for a replacement to lead football operations. Still to be determined is Irelands role in a locker-room bullying scandal that drew national scrutiny. The NFL has yet to release a report on its investigation into the case. Irelands departure follows Mondays ring of offensive coordinator Mike Sherman. Coach Joe Philbin will return for a third season, but other changes in his staff are possible.

Tight end Daniel Fells and three other players with NFL experience are among ve players signed by the Giants. They signed WR Preston Parker, LB Spencer Adkins, OL Troy Kropog and K/P Brandon McManus, the only one without NFL experience. Fells appeared in 74 games with 30 starts for St. Louis, Denver and New England from 2008-12. He has 92 regular-season receptions for 1,086 yards and eight touchdowns. Parker played in 27 games for Tampa Bay from 2010-12. ... .Saints coach Sean Payton said OLB Parys Haralson has a torn pectoral muscle and has been placed on injured reserve, ending his season.

Steve Yzerman and the rest of Hockey Canada spent months looking at the countrys top players, trying to gure out the best way to blend talent into a team good enough to win Olympic gold. The Hall of Fame player and Hockey Canada executive director kept asking himself the same question as months turned into days and then hours before decisions had to be made. Im trying to cram 17 bodies into 14 spots and I couldnt do that, Yzerman said Tuesday about all those talented forwards. Claude Giroux, Martin St. Louis, Joe Thornton all among the NHLs scoring leaders didnt make the cut. It came down to t, Yzerman said, declining to say exactly why some standouts were snubbed. Sidney Crosby, of course, was a lock to make the star-studded team, and the Penguins standout will have plenty of help when Canada tries to win a second straight gold medal next month in Sochi, Russia. Crosby will be joined up front by Jamie Benn, Patrice Bergeron, Jeff Carter, Matt Duchene, Ryan Getzlaf, Chris Kunitz, Patrick Marleau, Rick Nash, Corey Perry, Patrick Sharp, Steven Stamkos, John Tavares and Jonathan Toews. Jay Bouwmeester, Drew Doughty, Dan Hamhuis, Duncan Keith, Alex Pietrangelo, P.K. Subban, Marc-douard Vlasic and Shea Weber will be on defense. Roberto Luongo, Carey Price and Mike Smith will be in goal. Giroux was perhaps the most surprising omission. No one born in Canada has more points, entering play Tuesday night, than the Philadelphia Flyers standout since the 2011-12 season. He has bounced back from a slow start this season to rank among NHL leaders in points. The most painful call Yzerman had to make probably was the one to let St. Louis know he wasnt on the team. St. Louis plays for Yzerman in Tampa Bay. Thornton was leading the league with 43 assists through Monday. The San Jose Sharks star trails just four fellow countrymen Giroux, Tavares, Stamkos and St. Louis in scoring since the 2011-12 season. James Neal, Eric Staal, Milan Lucic, Taylor Hall, Brent Seabrook, Mark Giordano, Dan Boyle, Corey Crawford, Marc-

OVECHKIN TO LEAD RUSSIA

Washington Capitals winger Alex Ovechkin will lead Russias hockey team at the Sochi Olympics, with the host country looking to avoid a repeat of its poor performance at the 2010 Vancouver Games. Pavel Datsyuk of Detroit, Evgeni Malkin of Pittsburgh and Nikolai Kulemin of Toronto were among 15 NHL players named to Russias 25-man roster. Sergei Bobrovsky of Columbus, Colorados Semyon Varlamov and Alexander Yeryomenko of the KHLs Dinamo Moscow will contend for the starting goaltender spot. Edmonton defenseman Anton Belov, Slava Voynov of Los Angeles and two Montreal defensemen Alexei Emelin and Andrei Markov are also on the list, which includes former NHL players Alexander Radulov and Ilya Kovalchuk.

EASTERN CONFERENCE TRADE: Chicago loads up on draft picks for All-Star
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Maddux likely to go into Hall

From C1 crystal ball will show from the BBWAA, Hall of Fame president Jeff Idelson said, but all indications lead us to believe that it should be a robust year. BBWAA secretary-treasurer Jack OConnell said last year might have been an aberration. Ill grant that it had an asterisk, but thats part of the process that happens every once in a while, he said. I dont expect it to be an annual thing. Lonnie Wheeler, who collaborated with Piazza on his book, Long Shot, said Piazza is hopeful. I think its something he takes really seriously and would be honored, Wheeler said. I suspect he believes he belongs in. As he should. Theres reason to believe people had time and reasons enough to re-evaluate their position and any opposition they may have had. Having that validation of what he accomplished would be a crowning end to his career. I think it might be safe to say it would mean more to him than
BASEBALL
most, but hes also somebody who follows the news and understands the landscape, so he wouldnt be crushed. Piazzas 427 home runs are the most by a catcher in majorleague history. Piazza, who played eight of his 16 seasons with the Mets, was a 12-time All-Star and had a .308 career batting average. But Boston Globe writer Peter Abraham said some players may have gotten caught in the writers overwhelming condemnation of suspected PED users. While it might be obvious for somebody like (Barry) Bonds, its really not obvious at all for, say, Jeff Bagwell and Mike Piazza, Abraham said, and for me it was unfair not to vote for somebody based solely on my suspicion. Piazza denied steroid use in his book. Biggio, who played his entire 20-year career with the Astros and had 3,060 hits, also got caught in the crossre, although he was never linked to
PEDs. The talk around here was that he got lumped up with a bunch of guys who may not have been doing the right thing all the time, Kings Park High School athletic director Dan Butler said. (Biggio) kind of prided himself on doing the right thing all the time. People kind of feel like he may have been a victim of that a little bit. Were a little biased, but we think his numbers speak for themselves. For us, its great that we know he came from here. Its something great for our kids here to say this guy sat where you did, he went to class where you did and look at what he was able to accomplish. Biggio, the former high school baseball coach at St. Thomas in Houston, still drops by there regularly. No one at the school expects him to go 0-for2 in his Hall of Fame quest. We all like his chances this year, St. Thomas assistant coach Ryan Lousteau said. Theres a lot of buzz around here.
INDEPENDENCE, Ohio With their season quickly sliding toward yet another trip to the NBA lottery, the Cleveland Cavaliers had to do something to slow their freefall toward irrelevance. They needed a scorer, a defender, a leader, and perhaps most importantly, someone to show their young players how to win. Luol Deng fills every hole. The Cavs acquired Deng, a twotime All-Star small forward with Chicago, Deng early Tuesday in a trade from the Bulls for Andrew Bynum, the enigmatic center whom Cleveland signed to a unique contract during the summer but recently dismissed for detrimental conduct. In Deng, the Cavs believe theyre getting a multi-faceted player. Cleveland also gave Chicago a rst-round pick from Sacramento, two second-round selections and gave the Bulls the right to swap rst-round choices in 2015 if the Cavs are not in the lottery. As expected, the Bulls waived Bynum, who has chronically bad knees and has played just 24 games the past two seasons.
NBA NOTES
Bynum was due another $6 million on $24 million, two-year contract he signed with Cleveland in July, and the Bulls would have had to pay him if he was kept past Tuesday at 5 p.m. Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert vowed the team would never be in the lottery again after it picked rst last year. But at just 11-23, the Cavs are on their way to missing the postseason again after losing eight of nine heading into Tuesdays game against Philadelphia. Deng, a 10-year veteran, brings an abundance of talent to a young Cavs team that never adjusted to Bynum and has been beset by other personality issues in its locker room. Cavaliers general manager Chris Grant was reportedly close to sending Bynum to the Los Angeles Lakers, who need to cut cap space to avoid paying the luxury tax. Unable to strike a deal with the Lakers, Grant turned to the Bulls, whose season has been uprooted by star guard Derrick Roses injury, and landed Deng, who is averaging 19 points and 6.9 rebounds. Bynums exit ends a strange sage in Cleveland for the former All-Star, who played seven seasons with the Lakers before he was traded to Philadelphia in 2020. He never played one second for the Sixers and the
Cavs were the only team willing to take him on as a free agent. Bynum worked himself back into shape and was on the oor opening night, months earlier than most expected.
CELTICS IN 3-TEAM TRADE

The Memphis Grizzlies have acquired guard Courtney Lee and have sent guard Jerryd Bayless to the Boston Celtics as part of a three-team trade that also includes the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Grizzlies get Lee and a 2016 second-round draft pick from Boston. The Celtics get Bayless and also receive forward Ryan Gomes from Oklahoma City. The Thunder receive a conditional 2017 second-round draft pick from Memphis. The 28-year-old Lee has averaged 7.4 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 16.8 minutes per game this season. The 6-foot-5 guard is shooting 44.2 percent from 3-point range. The 25-year-old Bayless is shooting 37.7 percent.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL REPORT
Auburn leaves season with high hopes for 14

MALZAHN GETS CREDIT: Tigers rebounded quickly after 2012
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. The Auburn Tigers know theres only one way to top this season. The Tigers came within 13 seconds of completing the biggest turnaround in college football history, winning a national championship and slapping a triumphant ending on a fairytale season. Instead, they were left with a 34-31 defeat to Florida State and contemplating next seasons mission. To finish it off, tailback Tre Mason said. Do whatever it takes to nish. We made it all the way here and we let up off the gas pedal. Next time we need to crank it up to another gear and nish this thing off right. It remains to be seen if the Heisman Trophy finalist and near-hero of the title game will be around to help bring that to fruition. Mason is considering joining All-Southeastern Conference left tackle Greg Robinson in leaving early to enter the NFL draft. Robinson announced his decision on Tuesday. Even if Mason turns pro, the Tigers (12-2) wont be sneaking up on anybody after nishing
with a No. 2 ranking. With quarterback Nick Marshall leading the way, Auburn could well be regarded as an SEC and national title contender again. Certainly, Gus Malzahns team raised the bar back to its perch from that 2010 national championship in his rst season. Were going up, Malzahn said. The experience that we had and weve got most of our guys coming back, recruiting is going great. Our goal is to get back here, and I really believe well do it. His uptempo offense set school marks for total and rushing yards and became the rst SEC team to lead the nation in rushing. The Tigers matched the 2000 Hawaii team for the biggest rebound after going 3-9 in 2012. Jameis Winston dashed the Tigers title hopes with an 80-yard drive and 2-yard touchdown pass to Kelvin Benjamin with 13 seconds left. Top receiver Sammie Coates, center Reese Dismukes and leading tackler linebacker Cassanova McKinzy and defensive tackle Gabe Wright are returning. So are promising freshman
defensive linemen Carl Lawson and Montravius Adams, and projected defensive starters Jeff Whitaker and Justin Garrett are back after missing the season with injuries. For the first time in Malzahns college career, he could have the same starting quarterback two years in a row. Marshall got better at running the offense as the season went along. He passed for 1,976 yards and ran for 1,068, accounting for 26 total touchdowns. A team that was picked to finish fifth in the SEC West might be in the vicinity of that in the preseason national rankings. Im not sure Top 10, Top 5, whatever, tight end C.J. Uzomah said. Even if they put us down further, thats not going to bother anybody. We know that we have to do what we do. Were going to have an unbelievable offseason. Nick hasnt even been in the system for a year. Having him coming back is going to be amazing. The players that we have coming back, theyre going to be difference makers. Were going to have to have a really good offseason and get back to this place.

Auburns Kris Frost tackles Florida States Jameis Winston on a run in Mondays National Championship college football game at Pasadena, Calif. Auburn fell to Florida State in the title game.
Mason broke Bo Jacksons single-season Auburn rushing mark with 1,816 yards, including a tackle-breaking 37-yard touchdown with 1:19 left to give Auburn a 31-27 lead. Mason said leaving would be tough, but he plans to talk with his family before making a decision. He said Malzahn told the Tigers after the game how proud he was of us, and to wait until everyone calmed down to ac-
tually realize what we accomplished. Not many people in the world could accomplish what we did this year coming off a 3-9 season, Mason said. Were still blessed to be in the position. Thats why I love coach Malzahn. Thats why making this decision coming in the future, thats going to make it a little harder. Playing for a guy like that is just a great opportunity.
The Tigers enter the offseason brimming with condence instead of having to mend bruised psyches like last year. Now, the goal is to build on a season. I know this is a team of ghters and workers, Wright said. I really hope they feed off this. Well soak it up. Well get back to work. We trust in our coaches. They got us this far, along with the seniors. We wont stop believing now.
Florida State breaks SEC run

FINAL ASSOCIATED PRESS POLL: Conferences seven-year streak halted
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PASADENA, Calif. Move over SEC. Florida State is back on top. Florida State finished No. 1 in the nal Associated Press college football poll, ending the Southeastern Conferences record streak of seven national championships. The Seminoles received all 60 first-place votes from the media panel after beating Auburn 34-31 in the BCS championship game on Monday night in the Rose Bowl. Florida States third AP national title (1993 and 99) ties it
for ninth-most with rival Florida and Texas. The Tigers (12-2) finished second in their extraordinary turnaround season, but for the rst time since Texas was No. 1 in 2005, the Southeastern Conference is not on top of the nal rankings. Michigan State was third, followed by South Carolina and Missouri. Oklahoma finished sixth and Alabama was No. 7. So the SEC will have to settle for having four teams in the top seven. The SEC has seven ranked teams overall with No. 14 LSU, No. 18 Texas A&M and
No. 24 Vanderbilt. No. 8 Clemson, Oregon and UCF completed the top 10. UCF has never been ranked higher. No. 11 Stanford, No. 12 Ohio State and No. 13 Baylor finished outside the top 10 after spending much of the season in the elite group. No. 15 Louisville was followed by UCLA and Oklahoma State. Southern California is 19th and Pac-12 rival Arizona State is 20th. The final five were Notre Dame, Wisconsin, Duke, Vanderbilt and Washington.

He sat half asleep in a chair, exhausted, and nursed a pulled hamstring he sustained running down the sideline and chasing an ofcial after Auburn wasnt called for a horse collar tackle at the end of a catchand-run by Rashad Green late in the game. You feel like you want to sleep for about a week after these seasons, Fisher said. Well get back tomorrow and give the staff a day or so and then well get back recruiting and we got to get going. Its time for another one, he said. Twenty years after Florida State won its first national championship under Bowden, the Seminoles won the third in school history with his successor. The Seminoles broke a string of seven consecutive national champions from the SEC. Now Fisher and Bowden both have an undefeated season on their resumes. Its kind of tting to me, Fisher said. It was Miami and Florida State every year. They had the teams. They were in it, the Nebraskas, the Oklahomas. The SEC couldnt get in it. But I think its very tting that Florida State come full circle back and like I say, maybe we dont play in the SEC but we play in the South and weve got good football. Its like the reckoning. Things are getting back in order again, he said.

Your Horoscope
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 8 Born today, you are a hard working, forwardthinking, visionary individual for whom the here and now is something that can be improved upon in dramatic fashion, day after day. You're determined to make an impact as one who contributes to this improvement in no uncertain terms, taking advantage of your own unique talents and doing things in a way that is uniquely your own. You are no copycat, but you prefer instead to leave your own footprints along a trail that has never been explored before.Although you know there is a greater chance of failure doing things this way, it is the only way you know how to do them! You can be an instrument of good, or an instrument of bad -- a promoter of light or of dark. The decision, of course, is entirely up to you, but know this: You are never likely to find yourself in a position that makes it impossible to change your mind, reverse course and do things a different way. Also born on this date are: Elvis Presley, singersongwriter and musician; Stephen Hawking, physicist; David Bowie, singer and actor; Kim Jong-Un, politician; Bob Eubanks, game show host; Yvette Mimieux, actress; Larry Storch, actor; Ron Moody, actor; Jose Ferrer, actor; James Longstreet,Confederate general;Bill Graham,music promoter. To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide. THURSDAY, JANUARY 9 CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may have to break a rule or two in order to have things as you want them. Don't tell anyone, or everyone will want to do the same! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You will impress those around you with your independent spirit, but at certain points, you'll want to do what you are told! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You are eager to see some improvement in your own personal situation and in the situations governing those around you. Make it happen! ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Don't feel as though you have to smooth the way for someone whose approach is more aggressive than your own. Focus on your own needs. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're going to have to make room for others throughout your day, literally and figuratively. Much depends on a gracious state of mind. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Things are likely to get quite busy during the first part of the day, and the momentum will have to be maintained for quite some time. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be feeling threatened somehow by the development of a situation that was not of your making. Avoid becoming too defensive. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Communication is the key. Much depends on your ability to answer questions simply and directly. Don't let yourself be distracted. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're not doing anything at this time that you were not in some way meant to do -- or are you? Only you can judge, but do so honestly! LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- A certain sacrifice may be required of you, but you'll be ready to make it willingly when the time comes. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Routine provides you with a certain comfort. When the unusual presents itself, you may find your stress level rising considerably.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -You should be able to get things done according to schedule, but tending to an unexpected personal need may delay you just a bit.

Its the music that moves Inside Llewyn Davis and the Coens
One of the most beguiling folk records of the year has the bonus of ferrying along a Joel and Ethan Coen plot line. The songs within the brothers new Inside Llewyn Davis move from balladry to blues to ancient British folk, adding an extra layer of lyricism and revealing a portal to another storytelling realm. The selections and performances highlight a moment when a perfectly realized stanza sung honestly in a smoky cafe could produce an audible gasp, reverberate throughout New Yorks Greenwich Village and, with luck or if your name were Bob Dylan, American culture. At the center of the story, set
The Coens best musical placements over the years are so memorable that they deserve their own super-cut.
album cover supplied many of the period details for the Coens ctional story. Hang Me, the most recent of a series of songs that the Coens have plucked from relative obscurity to create fresh lmic moments, is sung from the perspective of a rebel who went up to the mountain, thats where I made my stand and, having apparently failed, is bound for the noose. Even more than the Coens ode to rural country music, O Brother, Where Art Thou, whose protagonists fall into the music business by happenstance, Inside Llewyn Davis examines an occupation, singing and songwriting, with wry affection. Joel Coen told me during a recent conversation that the new movie, on which they collaborated with music producer T Bone Burnett, is the product of a funny conversation that weve been having with T Bone for decades, from project to project, starting with The Big Lebowski. As such, its a revelatory, loving and sometimes absurd

Moving in unison with the action during sets and sessions, the music scores our antiheros circular journey from Greenwich Village to Chicago and back again. The Coens precise touch is captured, for example, in a notable absence: a spectral Bob Dylan, then a freshman on the scene whose arrival and impending fame are only suggested. At the beginning, we briey hear him tuning his guitar onstage, but the Coens are following another touched singer, so the action moves elsewhere. That single shot teases a big See LLEWYN D6

Detroits blight-seers
Some see tours of citys ruins as opportunity, while others see moral bankruptcy
LOS ANGELES TIMES
SNL gets Sasheer

NBCs comic institution Saturday Night Live, criticized recently for a lack of diversity, said on Monday that it was adding a black woman to its repertory cast when new episodes start again later this month. Sasheer Zamata, who graduated from the University of Virginia in 2008 and has worked with the New York Upright Citizens Brigade comedy troupe, will join SNL for the Jan. 18 episode, for which Drake is the host and musical guest. Zamata, 27, is from Indianapolis. The 137 regular cast members who have been part of Saturday Night Live since its 1975 debut have been mostly white and have included only four black women.
ETROIT Hed heard stories of ruin and blight, but that didnt prepare Oliver Kearney for what he saw: Prostitutes roaming the streets at 8 a.m., rubble-strewn parking lots overrun with weeds, buildings taken over by bright pink grafti, the message scrawled on blackboards in deserted schools: I will not write in vacant buildings. He took 2,000 photographs his rst day. No other American city has seen decline on this scale, Kearney said. Its really a once-in-a-lifetime thing youre going to see. And he saw it all on a tour. Kearney, an 18-year-old aspiring architect, persuaded his father to travel with him from Britain to Detroit to participate in one of the citys few burgeoning industries: tours of abandoned factories, churches and schools. Led by tour guide Jesse Welter, they crawled on their hands and knees to peek inside a train station closed long ago; they squeezed through a gap in a fence to climb the stairs of what was once a luxury high-rise; they ducked under crumbling doorways to see a forgotten ballroom where the Who held its rst U.S. concert. In Detroit, you can relate, you can see traces of whats happened, you can really feel the history of a city, Kearney said. In Europe, when things become derelict, theyll demolish them. Thats not possible here. The city estimates it has 78,000 vacant structures, and demolishing each derelict residential building costs $8,000 money the bankrupt city cant afford.
CHICAGO TRIBUNE
The Packard Automotive Plant is just one of thousands of ruins and vacant structures in the city of Detroit.
The city says that 85 percent of its 142.9 square miles had experienced population decline over the last decade, and efforts to persuade investors to buy commercial buildings and rehabilitate them have been mixed, at best. For example, plans to turn the Michigan Central Depot, a once-grand train station, into a casino and then into police headquarters have gone nowhere and its stood empty since 1988. Photographers have flocked to the city to capture the decline; two French photographers even produced a book, The Ruins of Detroit. But since the city declared
bankruptcy in July, hotels say theyve seen an uptick in visitors inquiring about the ruins. So have restaurants in the up-and-coming district of Corktown, near the abandoned train station. Welter, 42, says he had to buy a 12-seat van to accommodate the growing interest. Welter once was an aircraft mechanic and then an ATM repairman. He dabbled in photography and began venturing into the city from his home in the suburb of Royal Oak, taking pictures of derelict buildings and selling the shots at an artists market.
Big applause for Abbey

Downton Abbey drew a record-breaking audience for Sundays much-anticipated season premiere. Up 22 percent from the third season premiere, the episode was the highestrated drama in PBSs history. The fourth-season debut of the lush British miniseries by WGBH Boston attracted 10.2 million viewers, according to Nielsen Fast National data.
The photos, though grim, brought back sweet memories: Viewers would remember passing through the train station in its glory, or recall photographs of their grandparents honeymooning at a posh hotel, depicted in Welters photos as a decaying tower. Welter gured that if other people were interested in seeing the buildings, he could guide them around and, perhaps more important, keep them safe. In October, two tourists were carjacked while visiting an abandoned factory; others have been assaulted there. Welter guided his rst tour in late 2011, but the business has really picked up. His clients pay $45 for a three-hour tour and explore some of Detroits most famously blighted structures: the Packard Automotive Plant, the train station and the East Grand Boulevard Methodist Church, which features peeling paint and vast balconies. Welter, who is bearded and slim, knows how to sneak into buildings closed to the public. He knows which neighborhoods are plagued by packs of feral dogs, and which ramshackle building contains a recording studio with equipment still set up as if its occupants just left for lunch. He knows the churches so well that he helped a young couple nd an abandoned one in which to conduct their wedding. Its not legal, per se, to enter these buildings. Police will give $225 tickets for trespassing if people enter schools, Welter says, but have otherwise told him they dont mind him See DETROIT D6

CELEBRITIES Filipino diva wows Israel on X-Factor

A 47-year-old Filipino caregiver has emerged as the newest star of Israeli reality television, putting a human face on the thousands of foreign workers who toil away in menial, backFostanes breaking jobs in the country. Israeli viewers of the countrys myriad reality shows have grown accustomed to successful candidates from various backgrounds, including black-clad ultra-Orthodox Jews, Ethiopian immigrants and a German convert to Judaism who became a celebrity chef. But theyve never seen someone like Rose Fostanes before. The diminutive woman with a booming voice has taken X-Factor Israel by storm and emerged as a national phenomenon. Known simply as Rose, she is mobbed by fans wherever she goes. Its a big change in my life because before nobody recognized me, nobody knew me. But now everybody, I think everybody in Israel knows my name. And it is very funny, she said. Fostanes arrived six years ago to work as a caregiver so, like millions of other Filipino workers around the world, she could send money back home to her family and her girlfriend. She spends her days caring and cleaning for an ailing woman in her 50s. To save money, Fostanes lives in a crowded apartment in south Tel Aviv, a downtrodden area inhabited by foreign laborers, with seven others. Several months ago, a friend encouraged Fostanes to enter the X-Factor competition, a popular show hosted by Israeli supermodel Bar Refaeli. Standing just 4 feet, 11 inches, Fostanes has captured her audiences hearts with a surprisingly strong and soulful voice, belting out such hits as Queens Bohemian Rhapsody and Lady Gagas You and I. She is among the nal ve contestants and widely seen as a favorite.
DUBLIN The niece of fashion designer Ralph Lauren was arraigned Tuesday on charges of being dangerously drunk, threatening and verbally abusive on a New Yorkbound plane, forcing it to land in Ireland. Jewelry designer Jenny Lauren was arrested Monday after a Delta ight from Barcelona, Spain, made an unscheduled two-hour stop at Shannon, the major airport in western Ireland, to remove her from the plane. Lauren, 41, swore an oath on a Bible, then confirmed her name, American nationality and passport details. She offered no plea to three charges: making threats and abusive comments, exhibiting drunkenness severe enough to pose a danger to herself and others, and behaving in an obnoxious and offensive fashion. The judge, Patrick Durcan, freed her on bail of $3,400. She was ordered to stay at a hotel in the town of Shannon, report to its police station and surrender her passport. Laurens New York-based team of lawyers said she intended to plead guilty to all three counts Wednesday at a courthouse in the nearby town of Ennis. The Irish law governing air rage cases gives wide latitude to the judge to impose sentences ranging from probation to, in cases of hijacking, life in prison. But court ofcials said the typical handling of cases like Laurens involve imposition of a cash ne and a suspended sentence. Lauren covered her face from photographers and was driven away in a sports utility vehicle with dark-tinted windows.
fore, most lms presented have been directed by men. Festival director Gilles Jacob, in a statement, describes Campion as a true master, who wowed juries with lms shot through with such courage and humanity and captured such a unique world. The lm fest runs from May 14 to 25.

Jenny Lauren arrives Tuesday at Killaloe District Court in Ireland.
Tuesdays makeshift court session was held in a pub in the riverside village of Ballina, County Tipperary, some 20 miles east of the airport. While western Ireland has several ofcial court buildings, junior judges often travel roving circuits and hold weekly hearings in different public houses in outlying villages, to make it easier for residents of rural areas to attend. Police ofcer Yvette Walsh testied that Lauren told ofcers as they were explaining the reasons for her arrest: Can you say that in English, please? English is the universally spoken language in Ireland.
The Queen Latifah Show, the freshman syndicated talker from Sony Pictures Television, has been renewed for a second season on CBS stations. At a time when just about everyone is entering the daytime talk show arena, the offering featuring the singer-actress
has managed to hold its own amid the competitive clutter. It debuted last September to a strong 1.7 rating putting it just behind Katie Courics talk show (which will end its run this summer after two seasons) as the top talker entry since Dr. Oz in 2009. So far, it remains the No. 1 new talk show, beating out Real Housewives alum Bethenny Frankel. This marks Queen Latifahs second attempt as a talk-show host. Her last outing, which was distributed by Warner Bros., ran from 1999 to 2001. Unlike before, now its a set intention of what I really want to do, Latifah, whose real name is Dana Owens, told the Los Angeles Times of her current venture. Im in a different place in my life. I had a lot more zipping around the globe to do back then. Im a bit more settled now, and Ive learned a lot in life that has brought me to a place where I feel more comfortable in my skin.
Director Jane Campion, the only woman to have won the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival, will lead the jury for Campion the prestigious event this year.

Jerry Seinfeld apparently has teamed up with his Seinfeld co-creator Larry David for a new project. Seinfeld participated in a Reddit Ask Me Anything Q&A on Monday to promote his Seinfeld new Web series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. During the online discussion, he was asked about his friendship with Curb Your Enthusiasm star David, his cocreator of the iconic 1990s Seinfeld sitcom. In response to a question about the most mundane thing David and Seinfeld ever obsessed over, he wrote, We never obsess over anything that isnt mundane. Most recent was intentional mumbling. We wrote this script for this thing that you will eventually see but I cant reveal what it is at this time. All I can do is tell you is that its big, huge, gigantic. Even bigger than that Amazon package.

ADVICE Check out warning signs of potential abusers

When my daughter was 20, she met a guy who one minute showered her with roses and the next would beat her up. She stayed with him thinking she could change him, and became pregnant. On her 21st birthday, she tried to get away from him. He chased her up the road and went to punch her in the stomach. When she turned to avoid the blow, it landed, ABIGAIL hitting the baby in the head VAN BUREN and killed the child. DEAR ABBY Abby, once a beater, always a beater. I hope all women in abusive relationships will see this letter. My daughter is ne now, married and expecting. I pray for the women and girls out there who are going through what she once had to. Pennsylvania Mom Im glad you wrote, because your letter reminds me that it has been some time since I printed the warning signs of an abuser. Here they are: (1) PUSHES FOR QUICK INVOLVEMENT: Comes on strong, claiming, Ive never felt loved like this by anyone. An abuser pressures the new partner for an exclusive commitment almost immediately. (2) JEALOUS: Excessively possessive; calls constantly or visits unexpectedly; prevents you from going to work because you might meet someone; checks the mileage on your car. (3) CONTROLLING: If you are late, interrogates you intensively about whom you talked to and where you were; keeps all the money; insists you ask permission to go anywhere or do anything. (4) UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS: Expects you to be the perfect mate and meet his or her every need. (5) ISOLATION: Tries to isolate you from family and friends; accuses people who are your supporters of causing trouble. The abuser may deprive you of a phone or car, or try to prevent you from holding a job. (6) BLAMES OTHERS FOR PROBLEMS OR MISTAKES: Its always someone elses fault if something goes wrong. (7) MAKES OTHERS RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS OR HER FEELINGS: The abuser says, You make me angry instead of I am angry, or says, Youre hurting me by not doing what I tell you.

Cortison injections safe for diabetics

My mom is nearing 90 and recently developed an arthritic hip, which is curtailing her activities. She has Type 2 (no insulin) diabetes. The orthopedic doctor we saw gave her the choices of hip replacement DR. KEITH surgery (no!), therapy or a corROACH tisone injection. TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH We almost proceeded with the cortisone injection, until I found out that it can elevate ones sugar levels. Im getting conicting reports of how high the levels can go and for how long. She is not overweight (132 pounds and 5 feet, 1 inch tall) and is allergic to sulfur and penicillin. She also takes medicine for high blood pressure. She is doing her own home therapy (keeping active including stair climbing). Any suggestions on the cortisone or other treatments to help her? Injection of steroids into an arthritic joint is both safe and effective for most people with arthritis. Her surgeon likely will choose a steroid that tends to stay in the joint longer, leading to more improvement and less systemic effects. The effect on blood sugar in people with diabetes usually is minimal and lasts two to three days. Her allergies and other medications should not interfere with the injection. Although exercise is a great way of treating the arthritis, she should take it easy the day after the injection to allow the medicine to stay in the joint as long as possible. Hip injections usually are done with an X-ray to make sure the injection goes in the right spot.

Offensive and fun: Real World limps back to San Francisco

By DAVID WIEGAND
SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
STAR ATTRACTION
SAN FRANCISCO Like any rational human being, I blame The Real World for all that is wrong with television and anything else in contemporary life in need of a scapegoat. But that wont prevent the MTV staple from launching its 29th season today with a return to San Francisco, where the third season was lmed in 1994. Let me see: If my math is correct, that means that the surviving cast members from the third season are only a few short years away from their rst colonoscopies now.
If youve liked all or any of the past 28 seasons of Real World, youll like this one, and be grateful you probably dont know anyone like most of the housemates.
housemates. The shows predictability has outlived being a detriment. Now, we watch because we know people will behave badly and scream at each other and because one of the housemates can be counted on to be drunk more often than the rest. The only travesty about the new season is the living space. Its hard to describe. There are little cubicles all over the place, meant, perhaps, to replicate cubicles in what an MTV designer imagines a shared work space in San Franciscos South of Market area looks like. Once you get a look at the mazelike oor plan, you begin to understand why the housemates drink so heavily. But the colors and patterns, wow _ theyre in a league of their own, and they should stay there. Reds, yellows, purples, crazyquilt patterns, metallic gold sliding doors. Its as if a giant clown devoured a sideshow and threw up into Pee Wees Playhouse. This is my biggest disappointment with The Real World: It really has no particular sense of place. There are eeting glimpses of San Francisco streets, with a heavy and misleading emphasis on the icons: the Golden Gate and Bay bridges, the Castro Theatre . No Painted Ladies houses yet, but Im sure theyre coming, not to mention the cable cars.

REAL WORLD: EX-PLOSION

Three stars out of ve
10 p.m. today, MTV MTV says its changing things for the new season, but its more of an adjustment (read: gimmick to make people watch again): All the seasons housemates are single. But wait, theres more: 29 days into the show, their recent exes will move into the shared living space in the citys Polk Gulch neighborhood. Wow. Katie, bar the door. That wrinkle aside, the new season, cutely tagged The Real World: Ex-Plosion, is pretty much like all the others since the 1992 premiere. Throw a bunch of hot people in their 20s together and rampant alcoholism, bad behavior, hookups and screaming will ensue. This years housemates include Arielle, a 22-year-old lesbian model; Jay, a 26-year-old gift to womanhood from the Bronx, whose mother is battling cancer; Cory, a 22-yearold personal trainer who ed Michigan to Los Angeles because I have to make my own footpath; Thomas, 21, a handsome twin from Fort Worth who tries unconvincingly to deny being a spoiled rich kid; Jamie, 22, a Houston bartender; Jenny, 23, a buxom Los Angeles blonde with Scar-Jo lips; and Ashley, 22, a West Virginia transplant to San Francisco.
FROM PAGE D1
Llewyn Davis music
From D1 American story developing just outside the frame: the tune-up to a whole movement that Dylan would help construct. Such deftness isnt surprising. The Coens best musical placements over the years are so memorable that they deserve their own super-cut: Theres the rollicking, yodeled theme that chases Nicolas Cages H.I. McDunnough through Raising Arizona. To the kidnapped Nathan Jr., Holly Hunters character Edwina sings a tender lullaby, which is in fact a murder ballad called Down in the Willow Garden, signaling doom on the horizon. Lower East Side folk punks the Fugs biting protest song CIA Man closes Burn After Reading; the scratchy Danny Boy recording that bellows from a Victrola in Millers Crossing scores an Albert Finney machine-gun shootout. Memorably, The Big Lebowski resurrected an obscure psychedelic rock song, Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In), turning it into a stoner anthem after it scored the Dudes bowling-themed dream sequence. O Brother, another Burnett-produced effort, featured the fictional Soggy Bottom Boys rendition of Man of Constant Sorrow. It played a key role in that soundtrack going platinum more than half a century after the songs would-be heyday. The conversation expands in really interesting ways once we get T Bone involved in it, Joel Coen said. He gets into the story, or the script, or whatever project were working on, and takes it in places musically that we wouldnt have thought of, or didnt know about, and opens up all of these interesting things. In Llewyn Davis, music levitates the story. As Davis, played by Isaac, travels from Upper West Side to the Village with an escaped cat that will come to haunt him, the song Fare Thee Well (Dinks Song) plays, suggesting a few different journeys to come. While a sofa-crashing Southern singer offers a gentle version of Tom Paxtons The Last Thing on My Mind and croons of a lesson too late for learnin, a character played by Mulligan informs Davis that shes pregnant. Joel Coen said the placements came

UNLIKELY CAB RIDE

Bay Area viewers will be amused that after the housemates land at San Francisco International Airport, they somehow cross the Bay Bridge to get into the city. You can do that, but only if you have a cabdriver whos taking advantage of a bunch of out-of-towners by convincing them that its faster to cross the San Mateo Bridge to the East Bay, drive north to Oakland and then cross to San Francisco. Glad MTV is picking up the cab fare. By importing most cast members from elsewhere and plopping them down in a specially designed (I use the term in this case very loosely) living space for broadcast, The Real World may as well save money and just lm in Los Angeles or Vancouver. Real San Franciscans in their 20s live interesting lives in interesting places. Some of them live in the Marina; others have adapted large homes into techie dorms and either take public transit or ubiquitous shareable bikes to work South of Market. Others have railroad flats in the Mission or live in Oakland, where the rent is lower and commute to the city on BART. But Im sure thats true of many other cities that have been subjected to The Real World invasions over the years. This isnt the rst time the show has returned to a host city, but it is the longest time between visits. If you go back and look at the 1994 Real World, youll get a dated but more authentic sense of San Francisco than youll get from The Real World: Ex-Plosion. MTV once again misses an opportunity to get real, but, hey, maybe well learn in a forthcoming episode how to make hot cocoa with our feet!
FIRST DAY
On their first day in the house, Ashley announces her ex-boyfriend is a personal trainer who worked with the crew of the winning Oracle boat in last years Americas Cup races in San Francisco. Later, she shows up with her supposed other ex-boyfriend, Francis, who, she says, is a yacht designer. Jamie is offended that Ashley is apparently cheating on one ex with another and confronts her. I am the cheat police, she says. Then Ashley gets drunk and insults everyone and calls home to West Virginia in tears because people are being mean to her. Its just like high school all over again, she wails. Jenny is having difficulty knowing her status with maybe-ex-boyfriend Brian, but she wants to try everything in life. I wanna maybe adopt an Ethiopian child, she crows. Meanwhile, Jay apparently doesnt know any African Americans in the Bronx, so he asks Arielle if he can touch her hair. Jenny comes home with a guy named Doug whos hoping for something more than a dip in the hot tub. I can make hot cocoa with my feet, Jenny announces. And so it goes, the decline and drunken stumble of Western civilization. If youve liked all or any of the past 28 seasons of Real World, youll like this one, and be grateful you probably dont know anyone like most of the
naturally and were part of the fabric of the script early on. The desire was to suggest, without being clumsy or heavy-handed. Youre thinking about both what the song is lyrically, he said, but whats the vibe of the song? Whats the mood of it, even the tempo? What does it need here? We didnt want things to be right on the nose, but sometimes they were lyrically related in interesting ways to what was happening. Granted, this isnt Ken Russell using the Whos rock opera Tommy as a storyboard. Lines arent played out within the narrative. Rather, Ethan Coen described the process as mushy, adding that you feel out whats right for the character and the place in the story. The choice, for example, to have Davis sing the haunting British ballad The Death of Queen Jane during an audition with a hotshot manager is revealing. He goes to his big audition and he sings a song about an abortion, Burnett said, laughing. Theres so much stuff hidden in here. Every one of these songs, Hang Me, Oh Hang Me, Fare Thee Well, theres a distinct story being told in the libretto, really. The exercise there, Ethan Coen said, is, whats the most beautiful song he could sing at this point that would also be the most self-destructive?
Conversely, the playful Please Mr. Kennedy illustrates the lighter side of the folk scene, when topical ditties could sweep the nation. That song earned the Coens their rst folk songwriting credit part of a collaboration with Burnett and Timberlake. Burnett recalled that the seeds of Kennedy, which tells of an astronaut having second thoughts as hes blasting into outer space, sprouted while he and Timberlake were shopping at Normans Rare Guitars in the San Fernando Valley. I was talking to Justin about some lyrics, and I went kind of Ogden Nash and started writing those kinds of rhymes, he recalled. We were buying a guitar and I said, Heres this lyric I wrote, man. They then gave the song to Ethan and Joel Coen, who rened it into what Burnett called a real honest-to-God four-way collaboration. Ethan Coen conrmed the process, adding that in another era he and his brother may have followed an alternate course: We should have been around then, you know? Or maybe a little earlier, in Tin Pan Alley. Songwriting, he added, seems like a pretty fun job suggesting that perhaps he hasnt yet absorbed the lessons of his own movie. Or maybe that theres yet another music-centered lm to come.
Detroit guide takes tourists to abandoned structures in bankrupt city

From D1 going into other buildings. On a recent weekday morning, he brought a visitor to one of his favorite spots, St. Agnes Catholic Church, a rotting structure where graffiti vandals have made their mark. A beam of sunlight shone through the windows, falling on the one remaining pew in the church, a haunting image that illuminated the churchs destruction. Then Welter heard a motor idling outside and quickly ushered his guest toward the exit. Someones pulling up out there; lets start walking this way, he said, moving toward the crumbling staircase that leads to the churchs courtyard, which was littered with soda cans and food wrappers. Hes not afraid of the authorities theyre in short supply in this cash-strapped city but of scavengers, vagrants and others who might take advantage of someone with an expensive camera. Thats why he usually launches his tours at 7 a.m., the best time to avoid other humans, he says. Next, he headed into a girls school attached to the church, climbing the stairs to a hall of classrooms where rubble was everywhere, as if a bomb had gone off. Some books and magazines dated to 1962 and told outdated stories of boys living on the prairie. A birds nest sat in one of the large windows where a pane used to be. Locals use a derogatory term, ruin porn, to describe the phenomenon of people gawking at the decay. They want visitors to see the positive parts of Detroit, such as the vacant fields that enterprising farmers have turned into urban gardens. If tourists are going to look at the ruins, they should then volunteer in the community, many Detroiters say. The decay is not cool, not arty-farty, Jean Vortkamp, a community activist and onetime mayoral candidate, said in an email. I see the lady with bags and three layers of clothes on, and then I see a group of white young people climb out of their dads cars with cameras that are worth so much. Some Detroiters, including a group of urban explorers, have a beef with Welter in particular. They scrawled a message on the walls of the St. Agnes Church, Go Home Jesse ... We HATE you and your tour bus. Welter says hes opening visitors eyes to the problems of Detroit, which could potentially drum up political will to help the city. People are going to do this anyway. Why not do it in a way thats going to be safer, easier for everyone? he said. Jason Schlosberg went on a tour with Welter when he was visiting Detroit on a business trip. Schlosberg, a lawyer and photographer from Washington, D.C., said he had long looked forward to exploring the mecca of run-down buildings that is Detroit. But his experience touring crumbling ballrooms and onetime high-end residences caused him to think long and hard about what lessons Detroit can teach the rest of the country. It makes you question your mortality as a species. We try to make our mark on the planet by building these concrete and brick structures, but Rome obviously fell, he said. What is Manhattan going to look like in 300 years? Is it still going to be a bustling metropolis? Whether Detroit will seek to capitalize on the tourists, or stop them, is unclear. The ofce of Kevyn Orr, the state-appointed emergency manager of the city, declined to comment for this story. Another city full of ruins, Gary, Ind., has taken advantage of the photographers ocking to its abandoned buildings. It charges $50 for a photography permit.

NEW YORK The idea: With Food Network star Guy Fieri and comedian Judy Gold as my guides, nd the best spots for Super Bowlstyle grub in Manhattan. The reality: Fire up When Harry Met Sally and loop it on the diner scene (yes, the moaning). Now blast a laugh track, then add a profanity-spewing rabbi, enough X-rated commentary to render much of the evenings dialogue unquotable, and such gluttonous portions of high-fat food that by the end at least one of us would be vomiting. You have a sense of the evening. Which is to say, pairing up with Fieri and Gold was more amusing, but less helpful, than hoped. With the Super Bowl coming to the New York area Feb. 2, I wanted to know where to go for the over-thetop fare weve come to associate with the big game. So last month I got a tour from Fieri, a master of too-muchis-not-enough eating. Hes pimping the new season of his show, Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off, so he brought along Gold, one of his co-stars. A little predictably, we started the evening at Guys American Kitchen and Bar, Fieris Times Square restaurant made as famous by a scathing New York Times review as by the celebrity himself. This was my first visit and true to the hype this is not the place to go for great food. It was, however, an excellent place for great grub. As Fieri regaled us with his Super Bowl party food philosophy You cant just order 10 pizzas! Thats a throwaway! Thats an insult to the game. Youve got to put some time into it. the onslaught began. Something called Mongolian chicken wings bathed in a sticky honey-soy sauce had Gold moaning loudly. MMMMM! MMMMMM! Oh my God, its so good! AHRRRRRRR! And except to occasionally ask waitresses about gynecological procedures (just roll with it), this pretty much became her soundtrack for the evening. We were all smitten with Round 2, a rack of sashimi tacos (crispy wontons lled with ahi tuna, mango jicama salsa and a soy glaze). Knowing we had three more meals to come, we could and should have stopped there. We didnt. General Tsos pork shank a massive hunk of tender, sweet meat landed with a thud on the table and in our guts. It was followed closely by a colossal French dip sandwich. I dont think everyone will subscribe to this, but I put in as much time and at-

You order up a dozen or so of these, slice them and line them up, and you have an incredible Super Bowl feed. If the food is this good, there is no shame in takeout for a Super Bowl party. By the time we reached Golds contribution to our agenda Freds, a restaurant with a sports bar feel and walls plastered with photos of customers dogs the car reeked of grinders. The only thing less appealing than getting out to eat another meal was staying in and smelling it longer. Do you have any place I can lay down? Gold asked the hostess. Our table quickly filled with food and wine. A rich Buffalo chicken macaroni and cheese that had you not already consumed three dinners you wouldnt be able to stop eating. A Super Bowl salad (thats its real name) of beets, goat cheese, oranges, walnuts and pineapple. A bacon and mushroom cheeseburger. Im sweating, Fieri complained as he kept eating. Ive got the shakes. And then we were done. We kind of stared at each other. Our mission accomplished, we were all thinking the same thing. Gold put words to it. If I throw up, Im texting you. The next day, at 2:07 p.m. my phone beeped. Puked all night. So sick today. Not kidding, Golds text read. Im going to KILL you the next time I see you!! Id say were ready for some football.

tention when Im putting together a Super Bowl spread as I do Thanksgiving, Fieri said. This is the greatest day of the greatest game. Still it came. A burger topped with mac and cheese, bacon and six varieties of cheese. Bowls of beef, sausage and bacon chili. Tiramisu. Bread pudding doused with Jack Daniels. And then we piled into a car. Up next, Bens, a kosher deli on 38th Street. Gold: Bens? she yelled. Were gonna have some pastrami! We did. And matzo ball soup. And stuffed cabbage. And latkes. And a knish. And kreplach (a dumpling). And a rabbi so excited to stop by our booth he dropped F-bombs while telling Fieri what a fan he is. But a Jewish deli for Super Bowl grub? Not your conventional accompaniment to spreads usually populated with guacamole and nachos. But Fieri and Gold agreed whether its classics like chicken soup or bagels and cream cheese, Jewish food is comfort food. Its rich and easy. Its right. Especially this time of year, if youre getting ready to go to the Super Bowl or youre going tailgating, man, I want somebody to bust out matzo ball soup, Fieri said. Gold was getting concerned with being only halfway through our culinary agenda. How are we going to eat anywhere else today? Im going to puke! So we compromised. Instead of going into Defontes of Brooklyn the Midtown outpost of the
nearly 100-year-old Italian sandwich shop in Brooklyn we pulled up outside and got takeout to eat in the car. We ate it as we headed to our fourth stop. Four massive subs and a pile of much-needed napkins came through the window a Nicky special (ham, salami, fried eggplant, provolone cheese, and marinated mushrooms, among other things); a hot roast beef (roast beef, fresh mozzarella, fried eggplant and jus); a Sinatra special (steak pizzaiola and fresh mozzarella); and a rehouse special (roast pork, fried eggplant, broccoli raab and provolone cheese). Oh my God, youve got to try this, Gold said, shoving a hunk of the rehouse special at Fieri. Youre like a Jewish drug dealer! `Ive got a sandwich! Try it! Eat it, he said. Yes, we were getting sick. Yet, slopping and dropping food all over ourselves, we passed hunks of the massive, crazy good hero sandwiches back and forth through the car. These are
