He Imes Eader: State Panel Approves New Borders

INSIDE: PSU culture to blame?
11A
PHILADELPHIA On the
eve of a key court hearing, Jerry
Sanduskys lawyer said that no
plea negotiations have been held
and that the former Penn State
assistant football coach is look-
ing forward to facing his accusers
in the child sex-abuse case.
As many as 10 young men
could testify in
public for the
first time at the
hearing, which
is expected to
last at least a
full day today
and perhaps
spill into a sec-
ond day.
At the preliminary hearing, a
judge will decide if prosecutors
have enough evidence to send
the case to trial. Its almost a giv-
en that prosecutors will succeed,
since the bar is lowand they have
detailed the accusations in a 28-
page grand jury report.
Defense lawyers sometimes
waive preliminary hearings in
those circumstances to avoid
more negative publicity, but the
ex-coachs lawyer said the de-
fense is eager to hear from the
witnesses and gauge the strength
of the case.
We plan to proceed with Jer-
rys hearing, and Jerry is looking
forward to the opportunity to
face his accusers, lawyer Joe
Amendola told The Associated
Press on Monday.
Amendola said there had been
no plea negotiations, and he
wouldnt say if he would call
Sandusky to testify.
Sandusky, 67, is charged with
more than 50 counts of child sex-
abuse involving 10 boys he met
through the childrens charity he
founded. Penn States longtime
defensive coordinator, he was the
heir apparent to longtime coach
Joe Paterno until Sanduskys un-
expected retirement at age 55 in
1999.
Criminal lawyers say there are
several things to look for at the
preliminary hearing.

SHICKSHINNY The congregation
at First Presbyterian Church on Main
Street was fortunate that the Sept. 9
flood waters that inundated most of
the town did not reach the church
sanctuary.
But the church hall, which is at
street level, didnt fare as well.
The hall is used by the congrega-
tion to prepare food for parish shut-
ins, for fundraisers and as a meeting
place for fellowship after services and
on special occasions. The space took
on more than 5 feet of water, lay pas-
tor Jim Parks said on a recent visit to
the church.
The floor, the lower wall sections,
tables, chairs, kitchen appliances and
cabinets were destroyed, as was the
organ blower and motor. Insurance

Three people were injured when a tractor-trailer and a car collided on state Route 309
in Dallas Township just before 10 a.m. Monday. The tractor-trailer side-swiped the vehi-

WYOMING -- Borough
Council on Monday unani-
mously approved a budget for
2012 of $1,027,300.
Property taxes will remain at
1.7905 mills.
A mill is $1 in tax for every
$1,000 in assessed property
valuation.
The current years budget
was set at $1,045,628.
Solicitor Jarrett Ferentino,
in response to a question from
the public at Mondays meet-
ing, stated council will be con-
sidering a sewer fee at its next
meeting.
He said the borough will be
receiving a $1.5 million state
grant for sewer repairs, and
there is a local matching share
required for the work.
Council Vice President
Frank Yurek said the borough
was one of the few towns that
have not implemented a sewer
fee for sewer repair and con-
struction.
Also, a resolution to keep the
yearly garbage fee at $200 with
a discount at $190 for seniors
was unanimously approved.
Council also unanimously
passed an ordinance repealing
the borough zoning and subdi-
vision ordinances and adopt-
ing and enacting the laws of
the Luzerne County Planning
Commission.
The Luzerne County Plan-
ning Commission was also
named as the boroughs agent
for enforcement of zoning and
planning matters.
Bids for sanitation services
were opened. The bids were
broken down into separate
bids for one year of service,
two years of service, and a
three years of service.
Bids were received from two
firms: J.P. Mascaro and Sons
bid $192,803 for one year,
$389,464 for the two year, and
$589,993 for the three-year pe-
riod; Waste Management bid
$208,803 for one year,
$424,289 for the two year, and
$646,669 for the three-year pe-
riod.
Council unanimously voted
to award a three-year contract
for services to JP Mascaro and
Sons for $589,993.
In other business, Joseph
Gayeski, the boroughs repre-
sentative to the Luzerne Coun-
ty Tax Collection Committee,
in a brief update, said the Don
Wilkinson Agency, selected by
the county committee to col-
lect taxes, had requested to use
First National Bank, headquar-
tered in Hermitage, to act as
the depository.
While First National has
some branches in Luzerne
County, the committee voted
for the Wilkinson Agency to
use the Pennsylvania Local
Government Investment
Trust.
Because the borough is al-
ready a member of the trust, no
additional action was required.
Mayor Robert Boyer report-
ed the Wyoming and Forty Fort
borough police departments
had been awarded a $14,000
grant from the county District
Attorneys Office to be used to
upgrade the departments
weapons and to purchase non-
lethal Tasers.
The boroughs next regular
meeting will be Jan. 9.

has no tax hike

WARRIOR RUN -- Borough
Council on Monday approved a
contract with Greg Gulick of G&
RConsulting to serve as code en-
forcement officer for the bor-
ough.
He will not be paid a salary but
will be compensated from the
fees and fines collected from li-
censes and code enforcement, of-
ficials said.
BoroughSolicitor James Pyrah
said Gulick could not issue any li-
censes for construction unless
the boroughadopts the Universal
Construction Code, which 90
percent of all Pennsylvania mu-
nicipalities currently use.
Pyrah explained the impor-
tance of adopting the code. He al-
sosaidthat for Gulicktocite indi-
viduals whose properties were
poorly maintained, the council
would also need to adopt the In-
ternational Property Mainte-
nance Code.
These standards will not be
unique to Warrior Run, he said.
The council then voted on a
resolution to advertise an ordi-
nance that would adopt both
codes. Those ordinances would
be up for adoption at the next
council meeting.
Pyrah also pointed out that the
enactment of these codes would
also require a board of appeals so
that those citedcouldappeal Gul-
icks decisions. He urged the
council to consider names for a
three-person appeal board. The
positions would be unpaid.
Gulicksaidhe canhelpthe bor-
ough not only with code enforce-
ment but also with grant writing
for capital projects.
In other business, the council
voted to advertise a new ordi-
nance that would install two ad-
ditional stopsigns at the intersec-
tion of Beaumont and Chestnut
streets. The council may vote to
approve the resolution at its last
meeting of the year.
Borough Engineer Paul Pason-
ick reported that the preliminary
estimate for rerouting the Beau-
mont Street stormwater system
was $235,000.
The council presented a bud-
get of $224,235 for the coming
year. The largest line items in the
budget were $41,892 for the
Pennvest sewer investment,
$45,080 for refuse collection and
$42,000 for the Nanticoke Police
department contract. Copies of
the proposedbudget will be avail-
able at the borough building.
The real estate tax will remain
at 1.9 mills, borough officials pre-
viously said.
The yearly trash collection fee
will remain at $180.
The final budget reading meet-
ing will be at 6 p.m. Dec. 28 inthe
borough building.

PITTSTON TWP. The Fe-
dEx Express shipping center in
Grimes Industrial Park was one
of hundreds of FedExfacilities to
be bustling with activity on
Monday, as
the compa-
ny reached
what it pro-
jected to be
its busiest
day in a
nearly 40-
year histo-
ry.
Monday
was the deadline many mer-
chants set this year for ordering
gifts for guaranteed ground de-
livery before Christmas.
FedExexpects todeliver more
than 260 million shipments be-
tween Thanksgiving and Christ-
mas this year, with more than17
million of those expected to
have been made on Monday an
8 percent increase over last year
and a 75 percent increase since
Christmas 2005.
To handle the surge, FedEx
added 20,000 seasonal positions
at FedEx Ground, FedEx Home
Delivery and FedEx SmartPost
and is offering additional shifts
to current employees working at
facilities around the country.
Theres an extraordinary
amount of technology and preci-
sion that is in place at FedEx to
ensure packages get to their des-
tinations before Christmas,
said John Dunavant, vice presi-
dent of the FedExExpress World
Hub in Memphis, Tenn.
At the Memphis hub alone
we will see up to 3 million pack-
ages speeddown42miles of con-
veyor belts on our busiest De-
cember day, each one scanned
an average of 23 times to ensure
we know where our customers
shipments are at any given
time, Dunavant said in a press
release.
Conveyor belts started to get
crammed with packages after
about 6 p.m. Monday at the ship
center in Pittston Township,
transportingthemfrominbound
trucks to a processing station
and then to outbound trucks.
Paul Franceschelli, operations
manager at the center, said he
expected to see about 12,000
shipments come through the lo-
cal facility last night, probably
about 4,000more thanlast year.
The last day to ship with Fe-
dEx Express for Christmas de-
livery is Dec. 23 for delivery on
Dec. 24. Shippers have until Fri-
day to ship via FedEx Ground

LAFLIN -- Borough Council on
Monday night voted for a tax in-
crease of .2834 mills to make up
for a $44,405 deficit in the 2012
budget.
The boroughis facingincreases
inthecost of healthinsurancecov-
erage for its full-time police offi-
cers and an increase of salaries
within the forces collective bar-
gaining agreement.
Also playing a key role was last
weeks suddenloss of a police con-
tact with neighboring Yatesville
Borough that paid Laflin $32,000
for services that included patroll-
ingandthe fieldingof phone calls.
A mill is $1 in tax for every
$1,000 in assessed property valua-
tion. Council President Thomas
Parry said the tax increase would
mean a hike of $30 to $35 for a
house assessed at $100,000.
The projected revenue for 2012
is $740,641 while its expenses sit
at $785,046. This years budget
was $722,677.
Councilman Carl Yastremski
explained the reasons for the def-
icit, saying it cant be any more
straightforward than that.
Scott Seeherman, attending his
last meeting as a council member,
said that in the future it would be
inthebest interest of Laflintocon-
sider the great cost of a police de-
partment going forward.
Can we afford a police depart-
ment? Seeherman asked. We
dont have the money coming in,
and the only place we can get
money from is through the tax-
payers.
Currently the boroughemploys
three full-time and seven part-
time officers who provide 24/7
coverage throughout Laflin,
something Mayor Dorothy Yazur-
lo said its residents cherish.
I know what our residents
want andthis kindof protectionis
what they want, she said.

Councilman Raymond Pendolphi

ball field named after him for his

nity and its residents.

Trust ruling protested
An attorney for a health care trust
ordered to pay $5.2 million collec-
tively to two local school districts
filed court papers last week, saying a
judge erred and should recuse him-
self from the case.
Attorney Cynthia Vullo, repre-
senting the Northeastern Pennsylva-
nia School Districts Health Trust,
also said the judges verdict should
have been in favor of the trust.
Last week, Judge Lewis Wetzel
ruled on a 4-year-old lawsuit that
Dallas School District should receive
$2.8 million while Pittston Area
School District should receive $2.3
million to be used for health care
costs of the employees of each re-
spective district.
The ruling came six months after a
seven-day trial in June in which the
districts were seeking their portion
of an $18 million surplus the districts
said they paid into the Northeastern
Pennsylvania School Districts Health
Trust, after they withdrew from the
program.
A judge had not ruled on Vullos
request.

The Luzerne County prison expects to
significantly reduce its cost to house in-
mates in coming years thanks to a change
in state lawthat makes it more difficult for
state-sentenced inmates to get permission
to serve their time at a county prison.
The change, which took effect Nov. 24,
requires inmates with state sentences to
get the permission of the district attorney
and the sentencing judge before they can
serve their sentences locally. Even then,
the request will be approved only if the
prison has a population below110 percent
of its capacity.
Until now, the sentencing judge had the
sole discretion and authority to permit an
inmate witha state sentence definedas a
period of incarceration with a maximum
sentence or two years or more -- to serve
their sentenceat acountyfacilityaslongas
the maximum sentence
didnot exceedfiveyears.
County prison offi-
cials have long objected
tothe practice because it
increased the countys
cost since the state does
not reimburse the prison
for housing those in-
mates.
Under the new regulations, state-sen-
tenced inmates still can serve their time at
a county prison, but local officials have
morecontrol as theycandenyarequest if it
would cause the county jail to become
overcrowded.
The change was applauded by Luzerne
County prison warden Joseph Piazza, who
haslongstruggledtokeeptheprisonspop-
ulation under control.
Its going to save money because now
judges cant just dump anyone in here and
cause me to become overcrowded and
start housing inmates (at) outside facili-
ties, Piazza said.

their sentences at the county prison
peaked in 2007, when the prison popula-
tion reached an all-time high of 920 in-
mates. That forcedthe countytohouse141
inmates at other counties prisons.
Since then, the county has instituted
several programs, including the day re-
porting center, that have significantly re-
duced the prison population. The average
daily population for November was 693,
still 20 percent above the rated capacity of
577.
Piazza said the reduction in state-sen-
tenced inmates will reduce the population
even further, but the impact wont be im-
mediate.

LuzerneCountyofficials halteda
proposal to buy a Wilkes-Barre
building to store county records,
sayingthedecisionshouldbeleft to
the new County Council taking of-
fice Jan. 2.
The county records improve-
ment committee had recommend-
ed the purchase
of the former
Two Jacks Cycle
& Powersports
building on
North Washing-
ton Street that is
owned by John
Williams.
The commit-
tee of commis-
sioners and sev-
eral row officers
unanimously
agreed Monday to table its recom-
mendation.
The group has explored options
for new record storage space since
June 2010, when state archive ex-
perts concluded the current leased
space in the Thomas C. Thomas
building in downtown Wilkes-
Barre has temperature extremes,
lack of security, leaks and fire haz-
ards.
The committee, which will be
eliminated under home rule, was
establishedbylawtohelpoverseea
special records fund that comes
froma fee on recorded deeds. This
fund pays the Thomas C. Thomas
rent and could help fund a new
building.
Purchasing and renovating the
Two Jacks building would cost
about $2.75 million, county Chief
EngineerJoeGibbonstoldthecom-
mittee. The county is about
$750,000short becauseonly$2mil-
lionfrompast borrowedbondfund-
ing was set aside for a records stor-
age project, he said.
Committee Chairman Stephen
A. UrbanpraisedGibbons for nego-
tiating a reduction in the lease for
2012. The monthly rent will de-
creasefromabout $8,600toapprox-
imately $6,500.
Commissioners are expected to
vote on the Thomas C. Thomas
lease renewal onThursday, withan
out-clause protecting the county.
Several row officers on the com-
mittee spoke against the commis-
sioners decision last month to cre-
ate a record archivist position pay-
ing $40,000 to $45,000 amidst ex-
pected 2012 budget-related layoffs.
Commissioners said the position
was recommendedbythestateand
will be kept vacant for the new ad-
ministration.
I wont be part of a budget deci-
sion to create jobs when people are
losing theirs, said county Deputy
Treasurer Dominick DePolo, sub-
bing for Treasurer Mike Morreale.
Register of Wills Dorothy Stan-
kovic and Prothonotary Carolee
Medico Olenginski concurred.
The committee also met in
closed-door executive session for
nearly an hour to discuss a draft fo-
rensic audit of past recordimprove-
ment fund spending.

NANTICOKE This years toy and
food collection drive by the Greater
Nanticoke Area School District easily
exceeded the previous year, resulting in
donations being stockpiled and sorted
in a bigger room.
Students, families, school officials
and business donated more than
$13,000 and nearly 2,000 toys that will
be given to underprivileged families
within the school district this holiday
season.
The district sponsors the collection
drive and leaves it up to the students to
participate. Its success over the last 40
years has grown with donated items.
All the support we received was
amazing, said senior Alexa Gorski, 17,
of Nanticoke, president of the schools
National Honor Society. There was
such an outpouring from the communi-
ty; its really touching to see how much
people care around the holidays.
Twelve tables and at least 10 washer-
size boxes were filled with toys in the
cafeteria of Kennedy Elementary. Toys
were sorted by boys and girls and by
age group from infant to 10 years old.
The cafeteria was used because of the
large volume of donated toys. Last year,
donations were stockpiled in the high
schools main hallway.
Kelsey Rynkiewicz, 18, of Nanticoke,
was coordinator of the collection drive
this year. She said she would have been
overwhelmed by the donations if it
werent for other students helping out.
It was schoolwide drive from kin-
dergarten through 12th grade, she said.
Rynkiewicz said money was raised
through the schools dress down day, in
addition to monetary donations from
businesses and the Nanticoke Fire De-
partment.
For $1 every Friday, students were
permitted to wear jeans and t-shirts
outside the districts dress code.
The money raised went to buy more
toys, Rynkiewicz said.
Bonnie Dembowski, school district
human resources officer, said 266 fam-
ilies will receive toys and/or gift cards
for food at Gerritys Market, surpassing
220 families that benefited last year.
Those families within the district
affected by the September flood will
receive a little more extra, Dembowski
said.
This is truly amazing, said Superin-
tendent Anthony Perrone. The kids
should be proud of what theyve ac-
complished. Families are not going to
go without a toy or go hungry this
holiday season from their efforts.

DALLAS TWP. In two hours time, an
attorney for Williams Field Services LLC
opened and rested the companys case at a
zoning hearing Monday in its request to
build a natural gas metering station off
Lower Demunds Road.
Residents, none of whom were repre-
sented as opponents by an attorney, will
have a chance to viewthe companys gath-
ering of exhibits before offering testimony
at a continued hearing Wednesday.
One zoninghearingboardmember, Bob
Bayer, recused himself from the proceed-
ings due to a conflict of interest because
hisemployer hasdealingswithWilliams,
he said.
The metering facility would be approxi-
mately 500 feet away fromthe Chief Gath-
eringLLCmeteringstation, whichwas ap-
proved at a zoning hearing last week.
David Bradford, project engineer for
Williams, saidthesitewill beapproximate-
ly 2,682 feet from the Dallas School Dis-
trict campus, 1,140 feet from the closest
residence, 1,651 feet from the closest resi-
dential development and 2,249 feet from
the Evangelical Free Church on Hilde-
brandt Road.
Williams attorney Shawn Gallagher
said the Williams facility is much less in-
tense than Chiefs approved site. The
company is requesting the approval of a
meteringbuilding, aflowcontrol building,
a pig receiver and a filter at the site, which
is located on 4.29 acres with an access en-
tryway off Lower Demunds Road.
Several aspectshavebeenremovedfrom
the proposed site since Williams submit-
ted its first application in March. A mer-
captan tank, odorant building, a 100-foot
communications tower, a communica-
tions building, a 10-foot flare and conden-
sate tanks will instead be located at a site
about eight miles away in Northmoreland
Township, Wyoming County.
Bradfordsaidonlynecessaryequipment
was put in Dallas Township. The remain-
ing components, he said, are to maintain
best engineering practices at the site.
Gallagher said the company is request-
ing the board review the site as a public

PLYMOUTH Asoda can fab-
ricated to hide drugs was found
inside an East Shawnee Street
house where police and agents
with the Luzerne County Drug
Task Force arrested three people
on charges they were selling
crack cocaine.
Police searched11E. Shawnee
St. on Sunday when they alleg-
edly found 7.4 grams of crack, a
large amount of packaging mate-
rial and more than $1,100. A
large crack rock was found in the
soda can, police said.
The search warrant was
served at the house after police
and drug agents coordinated
several crack purchases at the
residence in recent weeks.
Police said Alberto Vasquez,
27, was selling crack from the
residence, and employed Mat-
thew David Kimchok, 28, to de-
liver the drug to customers in
the neighborhood that included
a school zone, according to
charges filed.
Vasquez and Kimchok were
charged with drug offenses and
jailed at the Luzerne County
Correctional Facility for lack of
$50,000 and $10,000 bail, respec-
tively.
Vasquezs girlfriend, Alyssa
Marie McAndrew, 19, was
charged with criminal conspir-
acy and jailed for lack of $5,000
bail.
Kimchok was permitted to
stay at the residence in exchange
for delivering crack and collect-
ing debts on behalf of Vasquez,
police allege.
McAndrew told police money
from selling crack was wired to
Vasquezs relative in New York
City, according to the criminal
complaint.
Police said in the complaint
that a crack customer gave Vas-
quez a video game systemas col-
lateral until she paid off her
debt.
Police had the house under
surveillance after receiving com-
plaints from neighbors about a
high volume of pedestrians en-
tering the residence and quickly
leaving.
Police said Vasquez was sell-
ing crack from the residence
since October, the criminal com-
plaint says.
In an unrelated case, Vasquez
has been free without bail since
his arrest by Plymouth police
whenhe was allegedly foundcar-
rying crack during a traffic stop
on Aug. 20, according to arrest
and court records.
Preliminary hearings are
scheduled on Dec. 21.

HANOVER TWP. Police are
investigating a two-car crash
that occurred at approximately
5 p.m. Sunday in the south-
bound lanes of state Route 309.
One car rolled over and the
female driver was transported

Medical Center in Plains Town-
ship for treatment of her in-

The roadway was shut down
for approximately 35 minutes,
police said.
No further details were avail-

WILKES-BARRE A man
was arraigned Monday on
charges he fled the scene after
striking a pedestrian at a busy
intersection last month.
Morris Thomas Capute, 34,
of East Washington Street,
Nanticoke, was charged with
accidents involving death or
personal injury, accidents in-
volving death or personal injury
while not properly licensed and
driving with a suspended li-
cense.
He was arraigned by Senior
District Judge Andrew Barilla
in Wilkes-Barre and released on
$5,000 unsecured bail.
City police allege Capute,
driving a 2004 Ford pickup,
struck Joseph Giordano, 44, of
Wilkes-Barre, at South Penn-
sylvania Boulevard and South
Main Street on Nov. 4, accord-
ing to the criminal complaint.
Capute sped away and sur-
rendered at police headquarters
on Nov. 5, the complaint says.
Police said in the complaint
that Caputes drivers license
was suspended in 1999 due to a
driving under the influence
arrest.
An inspection of the Ford
found nothing mechanically
wrong with the vehicle, police
said.
Police said Giordano suffered
multiple skull and rib fractures,
a broken collar bone and a
collapsed lung.
He remains in a medical
facility in Lackawanna County.
A preliminary hearing is
scheduled on Dec. 22 in Wilkes-
Barre Central Court.

Putin will face Nets owner
A
fter a week of surprising challenges
to his authority, Vladimir Putin
faces a new one from one of Russias
richest and most glamorous figures:
The billionaire owner of the New Jer-
sey Nets says he will run against him in
Marchs presidential election.
The announcement Monday by Mik-
hail Prokhorov underlines the extent of
the discontent with Putin, who has
dominated Russian politics for a dozen
years first as president, then as
prime minister.
It comes on the heels of Saturdays
unprecedented nationwide protests
against Putin and his party, United
Russia. Tens of thousands of people
gathered in the streets to denounce
alleged election fraud favoring United
Russia in Dec. 4 parliamentary elec-
tions.

Hunting abuses suspected
Montana wildlife regulators suspect
more and more people are faking dis-
abilities to take advantage of privileges
granted to disabled hunters, so they
want to remove one of those perks in
hopes of curbing abuse.
Permits to hunt from a vehicle,
called PTHV permits, are given to
Montana hunters with certain dis-
abilities certified by a doctor, chiro-
practor, nurse or physicians assistant.
The permit allows a disabled person
who cant get around without assist-
ance to hunt from a self-propelled or
drawn vehicle.
In some prime hunting areas, those
permit holders are allowed to drive
along roadways normally gated and
closed to all other vehicles.

Syrians in general strike
Syrians closed their businesses and
kept children home from school Mon-
day as part of a general strike, a power-
ful show of civil disobedience to pres-
sure President Bashar Assad to end his
9-month-old crackdown on a popular
uprising.
The open-ended strike takes direct
aim at the countrys already ailing
economy. It is designed to erode As-
sads main base of support the new
and vibrant merchant classes who have
benefited in recent years as the presi-
dent opened up the economy.
If the economy continues to collapse,
Assad could find himself with few allies
inside the country, where calls are
growing by the day for him to step
down. The authoritarian president is
already struggling under international
isolation and suffocating sanctions.

Texting cited in fatal crash
Federal safety investigators say a
19-year-old driver was texting at the
time his pickup truck, two school buses
and a tractor-trailer truck collided in a
deadly pileup on an interstate highway
in Missouri last year.
The National Transportation Safety
Board released the information Mon-
day. The board is scheduled to meet
Tuesday to hear the results of an in-
vestigation into the accident near Gray
Summit and make safety recommenda-
tions.
Two people the pickup driver and
a 15-year-old student on one of the
buses were killed and 38 others
were injured. Fifty children were on the

Crowds gather for feast day
Pilgrims carry images of the Virgin of

country converge on the basilica
bringing images to be blessed on the
feast day of the Virgin of Guadalupe.
WASHINGTONWeary af-
ter a year of partisan bickering,
lawmakers tried Monday to
wrap up a sprawling $1 trillion-
plus spending bill that chips
away at military and environ-
mental spending but denies
conservatives many of the pol-
icy changes they wanted on so-
cial issues, government regula-
tions and health care.
The measure implements
this summers hard-fought bud-
get pact between President Ba-
rack Obama and Republican
leaders. That deal essentially
freezes agency budgets, on av-
erage, at levels for the recently
completed budget year that
were approved back in April.
Drafted behind closed doors,
the proposed bill would pay for
the war in Afghanistan but give
the Pentagon just a 1 percent
boost in annual spending,
while the Environmental Pro-
tection Agencys budget would
be cut by 3.5 percent.
The bill also covers every-
thing from money to combat
AIDS and famine in Africa, pa-
trolling the U.S.-Mexico bor-
der, operations of national
parks, and budget increases for
veterans health care.
Negotiators on the appropri-
ations committees hopetoget a
final agreement from top lead-
ers like House Speaker John
Boehner, R-Ohio, and Senate
Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-
Nev. and the White House
andofficially unveil the mea-
sure by late tonight in prepara-
tionfor HouseandSenatevotes
before a midnight deadline on
Friday, when a stopgap funding
measure expires.
The generally smooth, busi-
nesslike negotiations on the
omnibus spending bill con-
trasts with the ongoing parti-
san brawl over Obamas de-
mand that Congress extend
jobless benefits and a cut in the
Social Security payroll tax. The
House is slated to vote on a
GOP-friendly version of the
payroll tax cut today; negotia-
tions with the Democratic-con-
trolled Senate on a compro-
mise measure have yet to be-
gin.
The spending measure,
meanwhile, is likely to go over
like a lead balloon among tea
party conservatives, many of
whom believe the August bud-
get and debt compromise
didnt cut enough. Last month,
101 House Republicans op-
posed a smaller bundle of
spending bills.
Conservative ire is likely to
be magnifiedonce the negotiat-
ing outcome regarding dozens
of GOP policy riders is final-
ized. Republicans larded the
measures with provisions
aimed at rolling back Environ-
mental Protection Agency
rules.
The most controversial rid-
ers are sure to be dumped over-
board due to opposition from
Obama and Democrats con-
trolling the Senate.

WASHINGTON The Su-
preme Court added another elec-
tion-year blockbuster to its dock-
et Monday, as the justices agreed
to review Arizonas most contro-
versial immigration law.
Amid lots of sideline kibitzing,
justices saidtheydreviewwheth-
er Arizona legislators went too
far whentheyaddedimmigration
enforcement to local lawenforce-
ment duties.
The courts decision means
that the justices will be front and
center on at least two politically
incendiary issues just as the pres-
idential and congressional cam-
paigns are heating up.
The court hadagreedprevious-
ly to hear challenges to the Oba-
ma administrations health care
law.
Now add to that a major im-
migration decision that impli-
cates the federal-state balance of
power, and youve got one of the
most momentous terms inrecent
court history, saidElizabethWy-
dra, chief counsel of the Constitu-
tional Accountability Center, a
progressive advocacy group.
The Arizona law requires that
officers make a reasonable at-
tempt to check the immigration
status of individuals whom
theyve stopped and for whom
they have reasonable suspicion
of being in the United States ille-
gally.
The law also requires that offi-
cers check the immigration sta-
tus of anyone they arrest before
the individual is released.
The chief legal question is
whether Arizonas 2010 law in-
fringes on the federal responsib-
ility for handling border security
and immigration.
Arizona was acutely aware of
the need to respect federal au-
thority over immigration-related
matters, attorney Paul Clement
said in an Arizona legal brief, fur-
ther describing the state law as
cooperative with federal ef-
forts.
A former solicitor general in
the George W. Bush administra-
tion, Clement also will be one of
the chief attorneys arguing next
year in the health-care law chal-
lenges.

NEW YORK Fears that persisting
economic woes would increase child
abuse in the U.S. have proved unfound-
ed, according to the latest federal data.
A comprehensive new report, to be
formally unveiled Wednesday, shows
overall abuse and neglect figures de-
clining slightly between 2008 and 2010,
and child fatalities dropping by 8.5 per-
cent during that span.
The recession hasnt had the draco-
nian effect that some feared, said Ri-
chard Gelles, dean of the University of
Pennsylvanias School of Social Policy
and Practice and an expert on child wel-
fare. The doom-and-gloompredictions
havent come true.
The annual report from the Depart-
ment of Health and Human Services
said the estimated number of victi-
mized children dropped from 716,000
in the 2008 fiscal year, when the reces-
sion began, to 695,000 in 2010. Thats
down from 825,000 in 2006.
The rate of abuse factoring in
cases where some children were abused
more than once during the year was
10 per 1,000 children, down from10.3 in
2008, to reach the lowest level since the
current tracking system began in 1990.
The number of fatalities from abuse
and neglect has dropped markedly,
from an estimated 1,720 in 2008 and
1,750 in 2009 to 1,560 last year. About
80 percent of those killed were 3 or
younger.
Overall, 78 percent of victims suf-
fered neglect, nearly 18 percent were
physically abused and 9.2 percent were
sexually abused. The report tallied
63,527 children who were sexually
abused in 2010 a drop from 65,964 in
2009 and down more than 55 percent
from the peak of about 150,000 in 1992.
The report, formally known as the
National Child Abuse and Neglect Data
System, is based on input from child
protection agencies in every state.

WASHINGTON President Barack
Obama heralded the end of the divisive
Iraq war Monday, and warned Iraqs
neighbors that the United States would
remain a major player in the region even
as it brings its troops home.
Our strong presence in the Middle
East endures, Obama said. And the
United States will never waver in the de-
fense of our allies, our partners and our
interests.
Speaking after a morning of meetings
with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Mali-
ki, Obama saidother nations must not in-
terfere with Iraqs sovereignty. While he
stopped short of mentioning any coun-
tries by name, U.S. officials are closely
watchinghowneighboringIranmay seek
to influence Baghdad after U.S. troops
withdraw.
Early signs of how Iraq may orient it-
self couldcome fromhowit handles trou-
bles in Syria, where the United Nations
says 4,000 people have been killed in a
government crackdown on protesters.
While Obama has called for Syrian Presi-
dent Bashar Assad to step down, Iraq has
been more circumspect, with al-Maliki
warning of civil war if Assad falls and ab-
staining from Arab League votes sus-
pending Syrias membership and impos-
ing sanctions. Those positions align Iraq
more closely with Iran, a key Syrian ally.
Obama saidhe andal-Maliki were both
deeply concerned by the Syrian govern-
ments assault on its own people. And
Obama saidhe was confident that the Ira-
qi leaders approach to dealing with Syria
was based on his own nations interests.
Even if there are tactical disagree-
ments I havenodoubt thosedecisions are
made based on whats best for Iraq, not
considerations of what Iran would like to
see, Obama said.
Al-Malikis trip to Washington came as
the last American troops were preparing
to leave Iraq ahead of a Dec. 31 deadline.

BUFFALO, N.Y. A bankrupt
NewYork-baseddental chainthat
abruptly closed offices in 13
states last year has sold off vir-
tually all of its equipment to pay
creditors, executives said at a
bankruptcy meeting Monday.
Some equipment remains in a
Greensburg, Pa., office because
the landlord has denied access to
the building, Allcare Dental Man-
agements chief executive officer,
David Pennington, and its presi-
dent, Dr. Robert Bates, said. Pa-
tient files have been transferred
to other dental practices, except
for a box full of charts from one
office whose location is unclear,
the executives said.
Buffalo-based Allcare Dental
Management Inc. and 14 related
companies filed for Chapter 7 liq-
uidation last month in U.S. Bank-
ruptcy Court, nearly a year after
running out of money. Without
warning patients, the company
closed more than three dozen of-
fices in New York, Illinois, Iowa,
Massachusetts, Michigan, New
Hampshire, North Dakota, Ne-
braska, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Ten-
nessee, West Virginia and Wis-
consin.
The closingpromptedlawsuits
by patients who said theyd pre-
paid for services they never re-
ceived, as well as investigations
by attorneys general in New
Hampshire, Indiana and else-
where.
The bankruptcy filing listed no
assets and $3.6 million in liabil-
ities. Court filings show HSBC
Bank is the largest creditor, owed
$1.7millionona securedloan. Ve-
locity Network Inc. of Erie, Pa.,
which provided Internet servic-
es, has a $1.3 million judgment
against the business after suing
Allcare in Erie County, Pa., in Ja-
nuary for unpaid services.
Smaller creditors include sev-
eral former landlords.
Bankrupt N.Y. dental chain sells its equipment
By CAROLYN THOMPSON

MANCHESTER, N.H. Trad-
ing accusations of greed, Mitt
Romney and Newt Gingrich chal-
lenged each other Monday to re-
turn millions made in private
business as the race for the GOP
presidential nomination turned
increasingly acerbic andpersonal
at the start of a three-week sprint
to the Iowa caucuses.
Far from Iowa, the two men
campaigned miles apart from
eachother innext-upNewHamp-
shire, where Romney has long
dominated in polls but where
Gingrich is aggressively working
to make inroads.
Romney called on Gingrich to
return the estimated $1.6 million
he received for providing strate-
gic advice to Freddie Mac, the
quasi-government agency that
guarantees home mortgages.
Gingrich has said he acted as a
historian, not a lobbyist.
That would make him the
highest paidhistorianinhistory,
Romney told Fox News Channel
during an interview from the
Chez Vachon diner, a regular
New Hampshire stop for presi-
dential candidates. He suggested
that Gingrich was an ultimate in-
sider who leveraged his position
as a former House speaker to line
his pockets when he left office.
Said Romney: One of the things
that I think people recognize in
Washington is that people go
there to serve the people and
then they stay there to serve
themselves.
Gingrich, campaigninginnear-
by Londonderry, countered
quickly, saying that Romney
should give back the millions he
made working at Bain Capital, a
venture capital firm that some-
times laid people off as part of its
efforts to make businesses more
efficient.
If Governor Romney would
give back all the money hes
earned frombankrupting compa-
nies and laying off employees
over the years at Bain, then I
would be glad to listen to him,
Gingrich said. But I bet you $10
not $10,000 that he wont
take the offer. That was a dig at
Romneys offer of a $10,000 wa-
ger with Rick Perry at Saturday
nights debate.
Unbowed, Romney chided
Gingrichanew, saying: Theres a
big difference between working
inthe private economy andwork-
ing on KStreet, and working as a
lobbyist and working as a legisla-
tor, and working to connect busi-
nesses with government. Rom-
neys campaign also pressed the
notion of Gingrich as a Washing-
toninsider, withnews releases la-
beling himan unreliable leader
and pictured with House Demo-
cratic Leader Nancy Pelosi.
Romneys stepped-up his criti-
cism of Gingrich came two days
after the new front-runner in the
GOP nomination fight held his
own during a nationally televised
debate, turning aside attacks
fromRomney and other rivals. In
recent weeks, Gingrich has risen
to the top of polls nationally and
in early voting states. Hes even
started to eat into Romneys lead
in New Hampshire, a must-win
state for the former Massachu-
setts governor.
Time is running short for Rom-
ney to curb Gingrichs rise, with
the Jan. 3 caucuses in Iowa, and
the Jan. 10 New Hampshire pri-
mary coming early next month.
Romney has been promising a
more aggressive campaign style.
We arent running any nega-
tive ads ... but we may, Romney
said Monday. This is, after all,
politics. Theres no whining in
politics.
Romneys allies already are
running a negative ad campaign
in Iowa assailing Gingrichs re-
cord in Washington. Also piling
on is Texas Rep. Ron Paul, who
has surged into the top three in
Iowa polls. Paul on Monday re-
leased a Web ad accusing Gin-
grich of selling access in Wash-
ington and including a clip of
Gingrich calling himself an in-
sider.
Seeking to repair vulnerabili-
ties, Gingrich spent part of the
dayworkingtoalleviateconcerns
about some of his personal bag-
gage that could hurt himwith so-
cial conservatives who make up
the base of the GOPprimary elec-
torate. He sent a letter to the
Family Leader, a key group in Io-
wa, pledging that he would stay
faithful to his wife.
Greed allegations
fly among GOP
Mitt Romney and Newt
Gingrich trade accusations
before Iowa caucuses.

WILKES-BARRE A Luzerne
County jury was chosen Monday
to hear the homicide trial of two
Mechanicsburg brothers charged
with shooting and killing a Hazle-
ton man in December 2010.
A jury of 10 men and four wom-
en, including two alternates, was
chosentohear thecaseof Izel Wal-
ter Garrett, 19, and his brother,
Isiah Jesse Garrett, 22, charged
with shooting 30-year-old Abdul
Shabazz inside a West Hazleton
apartment inadrugdeal that went
bad.
Attorneys presented their open-
ing arguments Monday.
Testimonywill beginthis morn-
ing, Judge Tina Polachek Gartley
said.
Athird man scheduled to stand
trial inthekilling, TyrekSmith, 25,
of Harrisburg, pleaded guilty Dec.
5 to a related robbery charge.
Smith, who was represented by
Royce Morris of Harrisburg, faces
a maximum of 20 years in prison
when he is sentenced on Feb. 23.
Smith is a self-admitted liar
andhas changedhis storytoinves-
tigators a number of times, Robert
Mozenter, an attorney for Isiah
Garrett, said.
He got a sweetheart deal, Mo-
zenter saidof aguiltypleatoarob-
bery charge. If hes guilty of rob-
bery, thenhes guilty of second-de-
gree murder.
Mozenter said the evidence
prosecutors intend to introduce is
based on the credibility of a lie
and the Garrett brothers father is
the one who provided them with
counterfeit money that led to the
alleged shooting.
Smith, said Brian Corcoran, an
attorney for Izel Garrett, gave in-
vestigators at least five different
accounts of what happened the
night of the shooting, and there is
no forensic evidence that links his
client to the crime.
Assistant District Attorney
Frank McCabe said in his opening
statement that the two brothers
are responsible for the shooting
death of Shabazz.
McCabe said Izel Garrett fired
the.38-caliber handgunthat killed
Shabazz. McCabe said that in his
guilty plea, Smith said he was pre-
sent in an apartment the Garretts
father livedinwhenShabazzcame
to sell themmarijuana.
McCabesaidSmithledShabazz
into the home and the Garrett
brothers presented Shabazz with

WILKES-BARRE Albert
Chase testified Monday morning
he never had an inappropriate re-
lationshipwitha now-22-year-old
woman when she was a child.
He never touchedher, he never
forced her to have sexual inter-
course and he never hit her.
Never, in any way, Chase, 33,
of Pittston, said Monday in re-
sponse to the allegations.
A Luzerne County jury of nine
men and four women was chosen
last week to hear Chases case.
Attorneys are expected to pre-
sent their closing arguments this
morning before they are instruct-
ed on the lawand sent to deliber-
ate Chases fate.
He faces four counts of invol-
untary deviate sexual inter-
course, two counts of rape, two
counts of aggravated indecent as-
sault and one count of terroristic
threats.
Chase testified for several
hours Monday, denying allega-
tions against him and explaining
the relationship that did exist be-
tween the two. The woman, who
was between the ages of 8 and15
when the alleged incidents oc-
curred, is known to Chase.
She testified last week that the
abuse continued for seven years
and that Chase at first touched
her inappropriately, but the con-
tact progressed to almost-daily
sex.
The woman testified she didnt
tell anyone until she was about 15
years old because she didnt
know if the actions were right or
wrong and because Chase told
her he loved her and would do
anything for her.
Chase said on the stand Mon-
day he may have purchased a
number of gifts for the woman,
but that they were for her birth-
day or holidays, and that she
called him for help in emergen-
cies after the alleged abuse stop-
ped.
Chase testified he denied the
allegations to his father and the
womans father inaconfrontation
just a week before he was arrest-
ed in September 2009.
He never restricted the woman
from wearing certain clothing,
Chase testified, nor did he pre-
vent her from engaging in after-
school or extracurricular activ-
ities.
Is that even remotely true?
Chases attorney, Nanda Palis-
sery, asked his client.
None of it is, Chase replied.
The woman testified Monday
she hadknowledge Chase has on-
ly one testicle because she had
seen the deformity, while Chase
testified he had had seven surger-
ies to construct an artificial testi-
cle and that his genital area is
marked by a large scar.
Chase said he believed the ma-
jority of the people Assistant Dis-
trict Attorney Jenny Roberts
called to testify were lying.
Man denies inappropriate contact with child
Albert Chase, 33, testifies he
never had sex with woman
when she was a young girl.

NANTICOKE -- City Coun-
cil voted unanimously Mon-
day at a specially scheduled
makeup session to approve the
first reading of a proposed
2012 budget that at $4.3 mil-
lion is $29,000 less than 2011
but still includes a tax in-
crease.
According to city officials,
the new budget features a .35
mill increase for a total of
3.0575 mills.
A mill is a $1 tax for every
$1,000 in assessed property
value.
The tax increase represents
about a $17.50 per year hike on
a home assessed at $50,000.
Officials said an audit re-
vealed the city was losing
some grant money.
Copies of the proposed bud-
get will be available at City
Hall starting today.
A second and final vote on
the budget will take place at
the next council meeting, set
for Dec. 31.
Also, the council passed an
ordinance that will exonerate
all active military personnel
from the citys per capita tax.
In another matter, resident
Theresa Sowa called for the
immediate resignation of
Councilwoman Margaret Hay-
dock over Haydocks persist-
ent absence from scheduled
council meetings.
Shes a nice woman, said
Sowa. But shes a poor politic-
ian.
Mayor Joe Dougherty ad-
dressed the fact that several
recent council meetings have
actually been canceled due to
the persistent absence of sev-
eral members.
Dougherty, whose term is
up on Dec. 31, was unable to
offer an explanation for the ab-
sences of the council mem-
bers.

First Presbyterian Church is
one of five nonprofit organiza-
tions being featured in this years
Times Leader Giving Guide.
These organizations rely on
grants and donations and face
possible cuts in services due to
the trying economic times.
Readers are encouraged to
learnabout theorganizations and
their needs and consider remem-
bering the organization or orga-
nizations of their choice with a
donation during this holiday sea-
son.
Roseann McLaughlin, clerk of
session for the 147-year-old
church, said the elderly and shut-
ins comprise much of the
churchs approximate 75- to 100-
member congregation, so any
help from the public towards res-
toration of the hall would be an
enormous help.
The community has been sup-
portive, Parks said. Parks said he
has heard well wishes fromsever-
al people in the community. And
he said the fire company helped
by cleaning mud off of the exte-
rior of the building after the flood
waters receded.
Volunteers paintedthewalls af-
ter new wallboard was put up.
Someone offered to donate a pi-
anofor the hall after it is restored.
But there is still much to be done
and much that is needed, Parks
said.
Parks said appliances and fur-
niture were not removed from
the building before the flood be-
cause a river crest of only 38 feet
was expected, and the church
had not seen flood damage since
the flooding caused by Tropical
Storm Agnes in 1972.
And then, the water only came
up about a foot above the floor,
McLaughlin said.
Parks saidhedoesnt expect ev-
erything to return to normal for
the congregation by Christmas,
even if the church receives every-
thing on its wish list by then.
They already told us they
couldnt do anything with the or-
gan (blower and motor) until
next year, Parks said.
But he and McLaughlin are
hoping to reopen the hall and
have music again for services by
Easter. McLaughlin said the
church has a tradition of serving
an Easter breakfast for the con-
gregation.
The church is so small it cant
afford to pay a full-time pastor,
McLaughlin said.
Parks, a retired teacher at
Wyoming Valley West, assists
with weekend services to help
the congregation, McLaughlin
said.

One of two churches that sus-
tained major damage to their
sanctuaries in the flood of Sept.
9 likely will close, while the con-
gregation of the other is still as-
sessing its options.
When contacted about The
Times Leaders Giving Guide,
Beverly Vietz, secretary/treasur-
er of Calvary United Methodist
Church in West Nanticoke , said
barring a miracle, the congrega-
tion likely will merge with the
congregation of Askam United
Methodist Church in Hanover
Township.
It would cost close to
$200,000 to rebuild and we only
had (flood insurance) coverage
of $50,000, Vietz said.
The water climbed to more
than 2 feet high in the sanctuary
and, in addition to the church
proper, claimed the church hall,
including two convection ovens
and three refrigerators.
We would love to come back.
Weregoingon120years as acon-
gregation. The church has gone
through fires and floods and al-
ways came back, Vietz said, not-
ing that the congregation was
buoyed by assistance from Unit-
ed Methodist churches in Mos-
cow, Kingston, Lehman Town-
ship, Mountain Top, Askam and
a few others she couldnt recall,
as well as area fire companies.
But the river is so unpredict-
able. I fear West Nanticoke is go-
ing to be a ghost town, Vietz
said. Were still discussing it,
but were leaning towards merg-
ing.
The Rev. James Thyren, pas-
tor of First Presbyterian Church
in West Pittston, said his congre-
gation would be looking at sev-
en figures to do all the repairs
necessary to restore the Exeter
Avenue house of worship.
About 85percent of our build-
ing was inundated with water.
We had to completely gut the
basement, the kitchen, dining
room, pastors study, church of-
fice. All the walls had to be taken
down in the sanctuary from the
window sills to the floor. We fig-
ure there was $258,000 in con-
tents that were ruined, he said.
Thyren said the congregation
still has to decide if rebuilding
the church or possibly purchas-
ing and moving into a newbuild-
ing would be a better choice.
Until a plan is formed, Thyren
said he couldnt begin to form a
list of what the churchs needs
might be.

Springville Gathering Line,
which is set to be completed this
month, taps into the Transco line
in order to send gas flowing from
wells in Susquehanna County to
market.
Gallagher said Transco, which
is owned by two parent compa-
nies that also own Williams, is la-
beled as a public utility.
Gallagher said the facility
would also be an accessory to the
current pipeline. Bradford said
about $135 million has already
been spent on the project, and
$10 million was spent on the
Northmoreland Township site.
Residents had questions about
storm water management, ef-
fects on nearby wetlands, site
management, site safety and
mud and debris on roads..
Engineering consultant Mick
Goodwinsaidit is ultimately Wil-
liams responsibility to solve run-
off issues, but storm water facil-
ities have not been constructed
yet. He said there have also been
complaints from the state De-
partment of Environmental Pro-
tection about this issue.
WILLIAMS
EXETER -- When the Wyom-
ing Avenue Walmart opens
sometime in 2013, the parking
spaces in the boroughs busi-
ness district will not be affect-
ed.
This notion was the essence
of a resolution passed by Bor-
ough Council during a special
meeting on Monday night. Dur-
ing the councils regular meet-
ing last week, rumors were fly-
ing to the contrary.
Several residents had caught
wind of a traffic impact study
performed by Walmart engi-
neers that seemed to suggest
that as many as 20 parking
spaces could be eliminated to
make room for Walmart-friend-
ly turning lanes on Wyoming
Avenue.
Resident after resident on
Monday spoke out against plans
to reduce parking spaces, citing
everything from pedestrian
safety to diminishing home val-
ues.
After the public comment,
Walmart attorney Neil Sklaroff
stood up and surprised many by
stating that Walmart also op-
poses any traffic adjustments
that would reduce Exeter busi-
ness district parking spaces.
Casey Mooney, a traffic engi-
neer associated with Walmart,
said that after the retailer per-
formed its original traffic study,
officials from the Pennsylvania
Department of Transportation
noted that they would like Wal-
mart to present Exeter officials
with options that showed possi-
ble modifications to Wyoming
Avenue.
Borough Engineer Harold
Ash also reviewed the traffic
study and made his own com-
ments.
Ash and Moore both stopped
short of referring to PennDOTs
notes as recommendations, but
Moore prepared illustrations to
indicate what Wyoming Avenue
might look like under scenarios
in which turning lanes were
added at several intersections.
Moores scenarios featured
variations in which as few as six
or as many as 20 spaces could
be eliminated, but consistently
maintained the stance that the
street would be fine if left as is.
After nearly two hours of pub-
lic questions fielded by Moore,
the council entered executive
session. When it re-emerged,
zoning solicitor Ray Hassey was
prepared to read a resolution.
Exeter will accept the bulk of
Walmarts traffic impact study
but refuses to accept any plans
to modify the Penn and Lincoln
intersections with Wyoming
Avenue. The borough also re-
quires that a lane be added to
the northbound side of Wyom-
ing Avenue that allows for a left
turn only onto Schooley Ave-
nue.
Exeter also wants left-turn
lanes to be added at the inter-
section of First Street and
Wyoming Avenue.
Finally, Exeter will require
the traffic study to include traf-
fic light optimization for the
Wyoming Avenue intersections
with Erie, Penn, Lincoln and
Schooley Avenues and First
Street.
Councilman Michael Pizano
described a key concern that
was shared by borough officials
and residents alike.
They are worried that future
traffic levels might grow so
much that adjustments will
have to be made that will not be
paid for by Walmart.
Ash concurred with Walmart
officials who believed that this
was unlikely.
The resolution to accept the
traffic study with certain re-
strictions passed unanimously.
Walmart will now take the
resolution and a revised study
to PennDOTas it seeks to gain a
state Highway Occupancy Per-
mit.

The first is the demeanor of
the accusers, who must give sen-
sitive testimony in front of 200
people in the courtroom, half of
them reporters.
The defense will no doubt try
to cast doubt on their stories
and question whether they have
financial motives for coming for-
ward.
Most have hired lawyers and
are expected to sue Sandusky
who is not
thought to have
much in the
way of assets
and Penn
State, which
does.
Another
question is
whether prose-
cutors will call
other witness-
es, such as as-
sistant coach
Michael
McQueary,
who told the
grand jury he
saw Sandusky
sodomize a boy
in a locker
room shower in
2002.
We are prepared to question
Michael McQueary if the com-
monwealth calls him as a wit-
ness, Amendola told the AP on
Monday.
McQuearys testimony, how-
ever, could be troublesome for
the state and may not be needed
to show probable cause.
The day after the shower en-
counter, McQueary reported
what he saw to Paterno, who
then spoke to other Penn State
administrators, according to the
grand jury report. State law en-
forcement officials have criti-
cized Paterno and the adminis-
trators for not doing more when
presented with those allegations
nine years ago.
Paterno said McQueary only
reported seeing Sandusky fon-
dling or doing something of a
sexual nature to a young boy,
according to the grand jurys
summary of Paternos testimony.
Paterno said in a Nov. 6 state-
ment that McQueary at no time
related to me the very specific
actions contained in the grand
jury report.
After Sandusky was charged
last month, McQueary himself
faced criticism that he left the
locker room rather than help the
boy. He later sent out an ambig-
uously worded email that read,
I did stop it, not physically, but
made sure it was stopped when I
left that locker room.
Former Philadelphia sex-
crimes prosecutor Richard DeSi-
pio said he would be surprised if
prosecutors called McQueary to
the stand this week.
I dont think theyre going to
show all their cards, he said.
Asked if he would put Sand-
usky on the stand, Amendola re-
plied only: Maybe.
Also, court officials setting
media rules for the preliminary
hearing will let news reporters
in the courtroom electronically
relay reports of the testimony in
real time.
An order posted Monday says
reporters will be allowed to
email, send text messages and
tweet from their laptop comput-
ers and handheld devices from
inside the courtroom in Centre
County.
News organizations including
The Associated Press had
sought to change an earlier
court decorum order banning
the wireless communication but
allowing laptops for note-taking
only.
No recording of todays pro-
ceedings may take place.

STATE COLLEGE The
warning signs were there for
more than a decade, disturbing
indicators that Penn State as-
sistant football coach Jerry
Sandusky was breaching bound-
aries with young boys or
maybe worse.
Yet the universitys top ad-
ministrators kept allowing
Sandusky to invite some of
those boys into campus sports
buildings locker rooms,
showers, a sauna and a swim-
ming pool where prosecu-
tors now say he fondled, mo-
lested and sexually assaulted
some..
Too many, from the universi-
ty president to janitors, knew of
troubling behavior by this re-
vered, longtime coach who
founded a charity for children
with hardscrabble backgrounds.
But the circle of knowledge was
kept very limited and very
private.
Year after year, Penn State
missed opportunity after oppor-
tunity to stop Sandusky. Secre-
cy ruled, and reaction to com-
plaints of improper sexual be-
havior was to remain silent,
minimize or explain away.
The fact that so few say they
knew is all anyone needs to
know about the insular culture
that surrounds Penn State a
university cloaked in so much
secrecy, in large part, because it
is exempt from the states open
records law, and a football pro-
gram that has prided itself on
handling its indiscretions in-
ternally and quietly.
Prosecutors say the only
thing that stopped Sandusky,
who retired a year after a 1998
allegation was not prosecuted,
was when he was accused else-
where, a decade later, of sexual-
ly abusing a freshman at a local
high school where Sandusky
had volunteered to help coach
the football team.
Today, Sandusky is charged
with more than 50 counts relat-
ed to sexual abuse over a 12-
year period. According to the
criminal charges, when he
wasnt acting out his compul-
sions on the campus of Penn
State, he was doing so mostly
in a basement bedroom of his
home.
And while the official allega-
tions, so far, target only three
people Sandusky, along with
the schools athletic director
and a since-retired senior vice
president, who are both
charged with perjury and failure
to report a 2002 sexual abuse
complaint an investigation
by The Associated Press sug-
gests that blame also rests on
Penn State as an institution and
the entrenched traditions of
now-fired head football coach
Joe Paterno.
The AP investigation in-
cluded scores of interviews and
a review of the limited number
of available documents.
MISSED OPPORTUNITY
The first known complaint
made to authorities about Sand-
usky, who says hes innocent of
all charges and faces a prelimi-
nary hearing today, came in a
1998 phone call to the Penn
State police department. A
mother was troubled after her
11-year-old boy told her he had
showered naked with Sandusky
on campus.
That complaint would trigger
a separate review by Centre
Countys Children and Youth
Services.
But it was the Penn State
police department, which is
overseen by a top university
administrator, that would lead a
more comprehensive criminal
investigation.
Those two investigations also
would represent the universitys
first known missed opportunity.
The womans son would
become known as Victim 6 in
the states current criminal case
against Sandusky. Prosecutors
say he lathered up the boy,
bear-hugged him naked from
behind and picked him up and
put his head under the shower.
Detectives say that later, with
police secretly listening in,
Sandusky told the boys mother
the joint shower had been a
mistake, and blurted: I wish I
were dead.
When county officials heard
Sanduskys name, they decided
quickly to kick the case up to
state child welfare investigators.
Of course they knew Sandusky
as a prominent Penn State
defensive coach, and they also
knew that his charity, The Sec-
ond Mile, had a contract with
the county that paid $47 each
day per child to provide foster
care.
I think his affiliation with
The Second Mile program
precluded the county from
doing it, said Jerry Lauro, the
state Department of Public
Welfare investigator who han-
dled the complaint.
Together, Lauro and Ronald
Schreffler, the lead detective
from the university police,
interviewed Sandusky about his
shower with the 11-year-old.
The grand jury report says
Sandusky promised he would
never shower with boys again.
Lauro eventually found no
indication of abuse by Sand-
usky.
The social services worker
said he didnt have access to the
criminal investigative file,
which made an argument for
charging Sandusky. Schrefflers
still-sealed report runs about
100 pages.
Schreffler declined comment.
The grand jury report that led
to the first 40 charges against
Sandusky on Nov. 5 cites exten-
sively from his work.
Schreffler testified that his
boss, then-campus police chief
Thomas Harmon, told him to
close his investigation, and the
county prosecutor decided
there would be no charges, for
reasons that remain unknown
today. Harmon served as an
administrator under Gary
Schultz, then Penn States se-
nior vice president for finance
and business and who oversaw
the University Police as part of
his position, according to the
grand jury report.
Schultz has been charged in
relation to a 2002 sexual abuse
complaint against Sandusky. In
grand jury testimony, Schultz
said he was aware of the 1998
complaint investigated by his
police department but never
asked to see the report.
Sanduskys lawyer, Joe Amen-
dola, sees the extensive 1998
investigation as vindication of
his client.
EARLY DEPARTURE
In his 2000 memoir, titled
Touched, Sandusky, now 67,
breathes no word of the 1998
investigation. But he does ac-
knowledge that in the months
that followed, I came to the
realization that I was not des-
tined to become head football
coach at Penn State. And so he
retired.
Many in the athletic commu-
nity were stunned that this
admired assistant, who had
long openly wished for a head
coaching job and interviewed
elsewhere, would just up and
retire at 55.
It made no sense. In 1998,
Sanduskys bruising defense
was ranked 12th nationally.
Some local news reports at
the time cited an unexplained
rift between Paterno and Sand-
usky.
Penn State took the public
position that Sandusky was
retiring to devote more time to
his charity for troubled chil-
dren. Paternos wife Sue told
the AP in a phone interview last
week that by then, Jerry was
more Second Mile than he was
coach.
Amendola, Sanduskys law-
yer, said Penn State superiors
made no mention of the 1998
shower investigation when
discussing his departure, and
even offered to let Sandusky
stay on in his assistant coach
position, as an administrator of
minor sports or some other job.
He said Sandusky preferred
taking an early retirement fi-
nancial package then available
to other campus employees.
Schultz gave the grand jury a
different explanation, testifying
that Paterno felt it was time to
make a coaching change.
SPECIAL RETIREMENT
The university gave Sandusky
special honors as a professor
emeritus when he retired. He
was given a parking pass and
was allowed to keep keys to the
football facilities, with a person-
al office inside. As an esteemed
guest, he was free to move
openly around campus, where
prosecutors say he kept abusing
boys.
Such privileges are ostensibly
rewards for good work but
are sometimes used as sweet-
eners to encourage someone to
leave quietly.
The perks granted were ex-
traordinary in some ways. Sand-
usky was promoted to assistant
professor of intercollegiate
athletics in 1975, in the days
when coaches also were teach-
ers. However, he remained in
that lower rank throughout his
career, never becoming a ten-
ured associate professor.
Under university policy, as-
sistant professors are not nor-
mally eligible for emeritus
status, a special honor for mer-
itorious service that is often
accompanied by an office, park-
ing and other benefits. In fact,
Penn State records show, the
honor was rarely given to asso-
ciate professors, who rank high-
er than assistants.
The university president
could make exceptions. Howev-
er, they have been rare. Robert
Secor, a retired vice provost
who dealt with emeritus deci-
sions, said the university tries
not to set such precedents.
And when Sandusky retired,
he was designated as a volun-
teer to the campus outreach
programs the umbrella for
the schools summer football
camps where Sandusky could
continue teaching gridiron
skills to children.
THE CULTURE
In retirement, Penn State
football continued to play a big
role in Sanduskys life; he just
wasnt pacing the sidelines at
games.
He received celebrity treat-
ment from adoring fans and
football faithful at home games,
where he watched from a spe-
cial Beaver Stadium box al-
most like being an ambassador
to Penn State, said Richeal,
Sanduskys co-author.
It was there in plain sight,
prosecutors say, that Sandusky
built relationships with the boys
he would later attack. It was
there that he was still regarded
with awe as part of the Penn
State family.
.
ILL NEVER FORGET
In 2000, janitor James Cal-
houn found Sandusky show-
ering in the Lasch Football
Building with a boy described
as being between 11 and 13, as
the grand jury tells it. It was
football season, and the team
was away for a game.
Co-worker Ronald Petrosky
testified he saw Sandusky and
the boy walking down a long
hallway. Sandusky took the
boys hand, and the two of them
walked out hand in hand.
At that moment, Calhoun
approached Petrosky in tears.
Shaking and distraught, he
said, I just witnessed some-
thing in there Ill never forget.
He said he had seen Sandusky
performing oral sex on the
child, according to the grand
jury report.
According to the grand jury,
Calhouns immediate super-
visor then gave him the name of
a higher-up that he could con-
tact if he chose to report it.
But no report was ever made,
prosecutors say, adding that
Calhoun now suffers from de-
mentia, and was unable to testi-
fy.
ATTACK ALLEGED
About 9:30 p.m. on March 1,
2002, the Friday before spring
break, Sandusky was discovered
by graduate assistant Mike
McQueary raping a naked boy
who had his hands pressed
against the shower wall, the
grand jury alleges.
Paterno, Curley, Schultz and
university President Graham
Spanier each learned of the
incident, but the grand jury
concluded they told no one
except the head of Sanduskys
charity. Not the police, al-
though Schultz oversaw the
University Police as part of his
position . Not child welfare
officials. Not even the universi-
tys lawyer.
The grand jury cited this
allegation in charging Schultz
and Curley with lying under
oath about what McQueary
told them, and with failing to
report the incident to police or
child welfare officials. Paterno
has not been charged, though
the disclosure that he had been
told of the allegation set off a
firestorm, which led to his
dismissal. Spanier has not been
charged but has been forced out
of office.
FAILURE TO ACT
The grand jury testimony
about the aftermath of McQue-
arys visit to the locker room
that Friday night back in 2002
paints a disquieting picture of
how an allegation of rape gradu-
ally came to be described as
horsing around. The chronol-
ogy of the parsing suggests
volumes about the Penn State
culture.
McQueary testified that he
told Paterno the next day, al-
though Paterno said in a Nov. 6
statement that McQueary at
no time related to me the very
specific actions contained in the
grand jury report.
A day after Paterno heard the
allegations, he called Curley to
relay that McQueary had seen
Sandusky in the showers fon-
dling or doing something of a
sexual nature to a young boy,
according to the grand jurys
summary of Paternos testimo-
ny.
Paterno explained his actions
in his recent statement: As
Coach Sandusky was retired
from our coaching staff at that
time, I referred the matter to
university administrators.
Schultz testified that he
couldnt remember exactly how
McQueary described what he
saw.
Schultz testified he and Curl-
ey informed Spanier that an
employee reported seeing Sand-
usky and a boy involved in an
incident in campus showers.
Spanier testified that he was
told Sandusky and a boy were
horsing around in the shower.
Investigation alleges university officials allowed Sandusky access to campus
despite allegedly knowing of pattern of sexual abuse of children

Dont try to fix state
Wine and Spirit shops
E
veryone who cares about the safety of
our community should be watching
closely as the House Liquor Control
Committee meets on Tuesday to consider
State Rep. Mike Turzais bill to privatize
the PA Wine and Spirits shops.
Rep. Turzais original bill, HB11, would
eliminate the shops in one step. But the
committee is considering other provisions
that would lead to the slow destruction of
thousands of jobs and the loss of hundreds
of millions of dollars in state revenue.
These steps would greatly increase the
number of stores and destroy an important
and unmatched system of preventing sales
to minors.
We now have some 620 stores. The
proposed changes to HB11 would create
more than 10,000 sales outlets.
This number dwarfs even the largest
number of private retail liquor and wine
outlets projected in the report that Public
Financial Management prepared for Gov.
Corbett. It flies in the face of this years
report by the U.S. Centers for Disease
Control (CDC) that said increased access
leads to increased consumption and in-
creased alcohol-related problems and
deaths. Why would we ignore the advice of
our countrys premiere public health
watchdog?
The PA Wine and Spirits stores are not
broke. We shouldnt risk our communities,
jobs and reliable revenues on a fix they
dont need.

Our good behavior will
make this a better world
I
ts time for everyone to wake up and take
a look at there lives. Look at the way you
treat others, if you are an employer look
at the way you treat your employees. No
matter what you own, how much money
you have doesnt make you better then
anyone else.
I look at my life and I see things I could
have done better. I look at other peoples
lives and a lot are in bad shape. I think its
time we go back to helping one another.
Companies are greedy; They dont care
about there employees. They say if you
dont like it there are thousands of other
people out there looking for jobs. Now that
sounds like a great employer, right?
Our kids are out of control. They are
lazy, they dont want to work. Not all but
most. Drugs are the biggest family killer.
Ive seen people loose everything they have
because of drugs. Families torn apart from
drugs.
Its time for people to help one another
again. Our world is going down the toilet
because of greed and drugs and the way
people treat each other. Take a look at your
life no matter who you are and see what
you can do better. Think about the person
you dont treat so well. If you know some-
one who needs help because they are on
drugs or have other problems let them
know you can help.
Our lives are going down the tubes. Part
of it is political, part might be religion,
part of it is drugs and greed. If we fix these
problems a lot of people would be better
off.

COULD WE please stop the
disingenuous reactions?
Take the situation with
Dallas High School Head
football coach Ted Jackson.
When he received an unfa-
vorable performance review
from high school Principal Jeffrey Shaffer,
Jackson said Im shocked. I have never
gotten a bad rating before and all of a sud-
den things change?
Dallas Gridiron Club president Nick Za-
poticky was equally befuddled. We have no
idea what the motivation is to remove him,
Zapoticky told reporter John Erzar.
Really? Shocked? No idea? The Dallas
team just finished four years of probation
ordered by the local branch of the PIAA.
That probation started as a two year stint
for a bench-clearing brawl, but was extend-
ed another two years after several Moun-
taineers urinated on the Tunkhannock high
school tennis courts during an away game
urination that occurred after Jackson told
them not to use the locker toilets (he
claimed they were filthy and unsanitary).
Accusations of abusive language toward
players have been tossed at Jackson for
nearly a decade. The Dallas School Board
has been split into two camps for so long
they should pitch tents. One side invariably
supported the guy who made the Mountain-
eers consistent winners, the others wanted
him disciplined or dropped. One year, the
vote to retain him came with a litany of
rules he had to follow to keep the job.
Yet people are surprised he gets a bad job
performance review.
This bewildered denial of the obvious is
practically a Luzerne County hallmark.
After police alleged Wilkes-Barre Township
Fire Chief John Paul Yuknavich stole nearly
$12,000 from the fire departments bank
account, WNEP TV news reporter Jim Mur-
doch interviewed Township Mayor Carl
Kuren. Murdoch rattled off Yuknavichs
run-ins with the law: A DUI in November,
charges he violated a protection from abuse
order, a guilty plea last year to disorderly
conduct, and now theft charges.
Is this somebody you want representing
your township as an employee? Murdoch
asked.
Kuren paused, then, with a straight face,
answered Youre correct in everything you
said. But it has nothing to do with his job
performance. Its embarrassing. Its an em-
barrassing moment.
Embarrassing is forgetting to pull up
your zipper. Having a fire chief with a rap
sheet capped by theft allegations merits
more than a red-faced oops!
And my favorite among recent examples:
Pittston Area School Board President An-
thony Guariglias explanation after the
board repealed a one-year-old teacher hiring
policy that had been designed to wipe out
nepotism and cronyism.
I dont see that people are following it,
Guariglia said.
Imagine Officer Guariglia, traffic cop.
Whoa, he just ran a red light! I better take
that signal down right now!
This isnt about the merits of each case.
Im not judging whether Jackson deserved a
bad review, Yuknavich deserved to keep his
job, or the Pittston Area policy deserved to
be dropped. I just want realistic responses.
After two years of federal investigations
exposing widespread corruption of public
officials, it should be clear that we cannot
afford to pretend unusual business is busi-
ness as usual.

HO IS the single
largest user of en-
ergy in the United
States? Gold stars
for everybody who knows that
its the Department of Defense.
Accordingly, the Pentagons
policy onenergy independence
should be a matter of pride:
The military has been march-
ing as quickly as possible to ex-
pand its use of clean energy.
Now the House of Represen-
tatives is doing all it can to
block the Pentagons invest-
ment in more efficient alterna-
tive fuels. It is an astonishingly
bad direction, and its up to the
Senate to make it right.
This isnt just about being
environmentally responsible.
Its about national security.
The House Armed Services
Committee repealed a key leg-
islative provision encouraging
the Department of Defense to
wean itself from oil. The provi-
sion had been signed into law
not by President Barack Oba-
ma but by George W. Bush. No
sympathizer with purely envi-
ronmental causes, Bush recog-
nizedthe wisdomof having the
military research and develop
clean energy alternatives to
make the Pentagon more ener-
gy independent.
The Department of Defense
uses about 360,000 barrels of
oil a day, costing $15 billion a
year. Prior to the Houses ac-
tion, the Pentagonhadpledged
to obtain 25 percent of its ener-
gy from renewable sources by
2025. No institution better un-
derstands the importance of
the United States weaning it-
self from foreign oil.
The Senate should embrace
the militarys initiative and re-
new the U.S. commitment to
investments in cleaner fuels.

T
HERE CAN BE little
doubt a good detec-
tive is worth ample
compensation. Gath-
ering evidence and sustaining
the necessary chain of custody
can be a monumental task.
Findingwitnesses andeliciting
useful responses is a talent of
tact and legal nuance. Building
a case prosecutors can turn in-
to a conviction or plea agree-
ment is part art, part science
and always essential.
So it behooves taxpayers to
think twice before succumbing
to knee-jerk outrage upon
learning three Luzerne County
detectives garnered more than
$100,000 in pay and perks this
year, as reported in The Times
Leader Saturday. We want ex-
cellent detectives pursuing
crooks and killers.
That said, thinking twice
doesnt make the math add up
in a cash-starved county that
relied for many years on in-
creased taxes, increased bor-
rowing or more recently in-
creased cuts to bridge annual
chasms between revenue and
spending.
The problem is not the pay.
Yes, topsalaries of $78,000 and
$79,000 seem high, but these
are veterans who worked their
way up the scale with one
hopes due diligence and
growing expertise during near-
ly three decades of service. No,
the problem is how those base
salaries increase by as much as
30 percent through incentives
and perks.
As we continue to weather
the worst economic downturn
since the Great Depression,
the majority of Luzerne Coun-
ty taxpayers lucky enough to
have a job would be thrilled to
get a 3.5 percent raise, period.
But county detectives also get
longevity pay, which
amounts to a double raise. For
seven of 10 detectives, longev-
ity pay was higher this year
than their raises. Michael Des-
soye, the most senior of the
bunch, got a raise of $2,773and
longevity pay of $13,530.
Detectives also get overly
generous buybacks of unused
holiday, vacation and personal
days, to the tune of as much as
$8,818 this year for Dessoye.
All this comes ontopof reason-
able allowances for clothing,
equipment and phone use, as
well as overtime pay that hit a
high this year of $6,685 for Da-
niel Yursha.
In a county where taxpayers
have seen average median
household income drop by
about $2,000 in the last dec-
ade, such perks are uncon-
scionable. Detectives should
give upthe longevity pay or the
annual raises in their next con-
tract. As a sign they appreciate
the economic hardships of the
people who pay their salaries,
they should consider opening
their contracts now and forgo-
ing longevity or raises for 2012.
One reward for staying on
the job should be enough.

Too many perks

The new regulations will not
affect state-sentenced inmates
currently serving sentences at
the county prison. Piazza said
there currently are 92 inmates
with state sentences. It will like-
ly be several years before they
have all completed their jail
terms.
Piazza said he cant estimate
howmuchmoneytheprisonwill
save, because it remains un-
known howmany prisoners will
beaffected. Itcurrentlycosts$94
adaytoincarcerateaninmate, so
he expects significant savings to
accumulate in coming years.
The benefit to counties will
come at an increased cost to the
state Department of Correc-
tions. Itsestimatedthestatesys-
tem will get an additional 2,300
inmates a year statewide, said
Susan Bensinger, a spokeswo-
man for the DOC.
Bensinger said the state sys-
temispreparedfortheinflux. Of-
ficials, aware the change was
coming, took several initiatives
in the past several years to re-
duce the prison population.
Those include increased use of
intermediate punishment pro-
grams as well as a recidivismre-
duction program.
We have seen positive re-
sults, Bensinger said. Over the
last six months weve seen a flat-
tening of our population. We
have not hadthe huge influxlike
we had been seeing.
PRISON
WILKES-BARRE The solic-
itor for the Luzerne County
Prison Board said he believes
the board will remain once
home rule takes effect, but the
form and makeup wont be
known until after the newcoun-
ty council takes office in Janu-
ary.
Attorney Stephen Menn said
the home rule charter is silent
on the issue of a prison board.
He believes a state statute
wouldallowthe county toretain
the board, which oversees oper-
ations at the prison, including
hiring and the payment of bills.
The current board, which
consists of the three county
commissioners, controller, dis-
trict attorney, a county judge
and the sheriff, met for the final
time on Monday. It will be dis-
banded once home rule takes ef-
fect.
Several board members ex-
pressed concern regarding the
boards elimination, saying they
questioned whether the county
manager, who has not yet been
named, wouldbeabletoprovide
the same level of oversight of
the prison as the board has.
Menn said he plans to meet
with the county council and its
solicitor as soon as possible to
discuss what form the board
would take it might not be
known as a prison board, for
instance. But he does expect a
group of people independent of
the county council will oversee
prison operations.
Mennsaidhe expects the con-
troller, district attorney, sheriff
and a court representative
wouldremainonthe newboard.
The question is who would re-
place the three county commis-
sioners, who are being replaced
by the 11-member council, he
said.
In other business Monday,
the board appointed prison Maj.
James Larson to the position of
deputy warden at a salary of
$63,735, a $5,000 raise from
what he earned as a major. Lar-
son fills the post of former depu-
ty warden Sam Hyder, who was
furloughed from the post in
2010.
Commissioner Maryanne Pe-
trilla, who chairs the prison
board, said the position was not
advertised to the general public
because the board felt Larson,
who has been performing Hyd-
ers duties since he left, was a
strong candidate.
The board also voted to ap-
prove settlements of two law-
suits filed by prison guard Leah
Beckley andformer guardAnge-
la Sweet, who alleged they were
sexually harassed by another
former prison employee, Robert
Turner.
The county declined to re-
lease details of the settlement
Monday because the agree-
ments have not yet been signed
by all parties, but said the infor-
mationwill be releasedat a later
date.

where my parents still reside.
Sen. John Blake, D-Archbald,
whose 22nd District now repre-
sents only three boroughs along
the Lackawanna/Luzerne bor-
der, picks up the entire Greater
Pittston area, including the city
of Pittston, townships of Pittston
and Jenkins, and Exeter, Hughes-
town, Laflin, West Pittston and
Yatesville boroughs.
Those gains were a loss for
John Yudichak, D-Plymouth
Township, whose district was
perhaps most affected by the re-
districting. In addition to the loss
of the Greater Pittston area, the
14th District will stretch into Le-
high and Northampton counties,
making Carbon County, not
southern Luzerne County, the
districts geographic center.
Yudichak derided the plan to
create what he called safe seats
for Republicans as a disservice to
all residents that will only serve
to enhance the partisan gridlock
that is already keeping us from
getting things done for the peo-
ple of Pennsylvania.
On the newHouse boundaries,
the districts that serve southern
Luzerne County, including the
Greater Hazleton area, were re-
figured to the chagrin of fresh-
man Rep. Gerry Mullery, D-New-
port Township.
Mullery derided the political
process that he believes was done
to protect another fellow fresh-
man, Tarah Toohil, R-Butler
Township.
The new plan took what had
been a compact 119th District
comprising communities south
of Wilkes-Barre and stretches it
into bedroom communities out-
side of Hazleton that have voter
registrations leaning toward the
Democratic Party.
The Republican leadership
put politics before public service
to protect one freshman legisla-
tor, Mullery has said.
On Monday, after the vote, he
accepted the change and pre-
pared to serve new constituents.
While I believe the publics in-
terests would have been best
served by keeping the South Val-
ley in one legislative district and
the Greater Hazleton Area in an-
other legislative district, Im ea-
ger to serve my new legislative
district, Mullery said.
Toohil said lines on a map
wont change howshe goes about
her job.
I amsaddenedtobe losingthe
people I have represented in the
municipalities that will not be in-
cluded in the proposed 116th dis-
trict, but I look forward to meet-
ing the new people in those mu-
nicipalities that will be added.
Panel of five
The five-member panel that
approved the plan includes the
floor leaders fromboth chambers
and an appointed chairman, Ste-
phen McEwen, a senior Superior
Court judge from Delaware
County who was the panels third
Republican member. McEwen
joined state Senate Majority
Leader Dominic Pileggi andstate
HouseMajorityLeader MikeTur-
zai, both Republicans, in voting
in the affirmative. Senate Minor-
ity Leader Jay Costa and House
Minority Leader FrankDermody,
the commissions two Demo-
crats, voted against.
Before the final vote, a vote on
a Democratic-backed amend-
ment with new maps that Costa
called compact, contiguous and
constitutional was rejected 3-2
along party lines.
Costa said the final plans were
partisan and Republicans were
moreconcernedwithstrengthen-
ing their seats than being fair.
Fairness is subjective, McE-
wen said. He added that those
who crafted the plan will be seen
as either visionaries or villains.
Even though her district was
altered, Rep. Karen Boback, R-
Harveys Lake, said she under-
stands the needto change bound-
aries to address population
shifts.
Shift in Plains Twp.
Rep. Eddie Day Pashinski, D-
Wilkes-Barre, lamented the loss
of Plains Township and Ashley
Borough from the 121st District
but said he looks forward to
meeting new constituents in the
six municipalities the district
will pick up.
The 120th District, represent-
ed by Phyllis Mundy, is the only
district that does not change.
One of the key sticking points
for many who testified at a pair of
hearings on the redistricting was
the number of municipalities
split among House districts.
Though there are still 108 such
cases in the approved map, its
fewer than the121that have been
in that predicament the past dec-
ade.
Locally, the final map splits
three municipalities among mul-
tiple districts including Hazle,
Wright and Hanover townships.
Earlier plans also included the
splitting of Plains, Pittston and
Bear Creek townships.
Carroll thankful
Rep. Mike Carroll, D-Avoca,
was one of the hundreds of peo-
ple to send letters to the commis-
sion asking for the preliminary
plans to be readdressed and al-
tered. His pleas were apparently
heeded, especially when it came
to his request that the Greater
Pittston region be kept intact and
Pittston, Plains and Bear Creek
townships not be split between
districts.
I amthankful the commission
considered my opinion and the
opinions of the municipal and
community leaders who request-
ed changes to the preliminary
plan, Carroll said. While no re-
districting plan is perfect, this
plan fairly treats the citizens of
Lackawanna and Luzerne Coun-
ties who are included in the118th
Legislative District.
Dermodysaidhe votedinfavor
of the final plan because he be-
lieved there was give and take
and compromise on the House
districts.
But on the Senate side, Costa
said that wasnt the case.
The redistricting process will
now advance to the 30-day court
challenge period before it be-
comes official.

comments and assure you that
we are here to listen to your
views, Wega read at the start of
the meeting. I would like to
point out that the motions do not
refer to a termination or dismiss-
al but the opening of a position.
Wega noted the board reviews
coaches at the end of each year
and occasionally votes to open
specific positions when there is
a culmination of a series of ac-
tions and concerns over a period
of time. She told the crowd the
board would waive its policy of
limiting public comment to three
minutes per person, and then in-
vited any to the podium.
The floodgates opened.
Assistant football coach Gary
Steirs praised Jackson at length
for the time and detail he puts in-
tothe job. At one point he heldup
a playbook from Abington
Heights High School, where he
had helped coach, and called it
chocolate and vanilla. Holding
up a Dallas playbook he said
This is spumoni.
Sophomore player Ryan Monk
said he was grateful Jackson had
seenpotential inhimandput him
on the starting teamthis year de-
spite his inexperience. Junior
Buddy Shutlock recounted how
Jackson offered quick support
whenhis grandmother diedthree
years ago.
William Gately cited Jacksons
ability to motivate his16-year-old
son, which is not an easy task.
Former player Ronnie Selenski
said he had been ready to drop
out of high school but stopped
himself when he thought of Jack-
sons dont quit lessons. I went
right into the guidance counsel-
ors office and threwmy books in-
to the garbage. I said thats it, Im
done, I quit. But because of
Coach Jackson and what he
taught me, I couldnt quit.
Through it all, the board sat
and listened without comment,
Wega routinely thanking the
speaker and patiently waiting to
make sure no one else wanted a
turn. Then the votes began, with
the football position coming up
near the end of the agenda,
prompting the angry exodus.
Wega stressed Jackson could
apply for the job. Board Solicitor
Ben Jones III noted Jackson was

gally entitled to a hearing before
the board before action was tak-
en.
While Jackson was the obvious
topic of the evening, one of 15
people who spoke up had a differ-
ent topic.
Parent Jane Tolomello asked
whenthedistrict will runanevac-
uation drill in preparation for po-
tential risk posed by a natural gas
pipeline metering station being
built near the school. Superin-
tendent Frank Galicki said the
district was trying to coordinate
with all the buses that would be
needed for such a drill 28 and
hoped to run a drill in March or
April. Pressed about early prom-
ises to have one by now, Galicki
said he would push to get it set
up by January.
The board also approved the
appointment of five other coach-
es: At the high school, Doug Mill-
er as head boys basketball coach
at $6,235 and Matt Barry as as-
sistant boys basketball coach at
$3,295; at the middle school, To-
ny Chiarucci as assistant boys
basketball coach at $2,725; Cory
Patton as assistant-in-charge of
girls basketball at $3,295; and
Jesse Francis as assistant-in-
charge of boys basketball at
$3,295, pro-rated.
And the board awarded a con-
tract to Axtell Construction LLC
for roof repairs at Dallas Elemen-
tary at a cost of $11,000.

DALLAS Emotional appeals
from14 current and former play-
ers, parents, assistant coaches
and residents werent enough
Monday night.
Nor was a final attempt by Dr.
Bruce Goeringer to urge his fel-
low Dallas
School District
Board mem-
bers toconsider
what football
coach Ted Jack-
son has meant
to the program
over the last 27
years.
By a vote of 8-1 with Goerin-
ger the lone dissenter the board
opened the football coaching po-
sition.
Take into consideration, for
all the boys who will be looking
for a coach for next year, the fact
you will not find a better coach
than Ted Jackson, Goeringer
said to the board and about 200
people gathered in the elemen-
tary school cafeteria. No one.
Absolutely no one prepares a
team like he does.
Goeringers emphatic no vote
was trumped by the other board
members who voted to open the
position.
A person answering Jacksons
cell phone who would only iden-
tify himself as Steve said Jackson
wasnt prepared to talk about the
school boards decision.
Superintendent Frank Galicki
said the school will advertise the
position as soon as possible. He
didnt give a timetable for hiring
a coach and Jackson can re-apply.
Jackson received an unfavorable
review from high school princi-
pal Jeffery Shaffer and then met
with Shaffer, Galicki and Athletic
Director Nancy Roberts last
Thursday. Galicki didnt saywhat
transpired from that meeting.
After the vote, a majority of the
HI GH SCHOOL FOOTBAL L

Joe Stuppino, a former Dallas football teammember showed up to urge the school board to retain Ted Jackson a head football coach at

In the end, it
didnt matter
what the Dallas
High School
Board heard
from a parade
of audience
members sup-
porting Ted Jackson.
Its what board members
were listening to before they
ever sat down at Mondays
regular meeting that got Jack-
son removed from his job as the
Mountaineers head football
coach.
Its not like he was fired,
Dallas board member Fred L.
Parry said.
Oh yes it was.
When a nine-member board
votes this decisively, 8-1 to open
the position, good luck trying
to get it back.
People are welcome to reap-
ply, said Catherine Wega, the
board president. Then in the
next breath, she added, We
will take any and all applica-
tions for this. I think were
going to cast a pretty wide net
and look everywhere, not just
around here.
This is the time to do this
for our students.
Why now?
Jackson just finished one of
the finest coaching jobs of his
storied 27-year career at Dallas,
which included winning the
1993 Class 2A state champion-
ship.
He guided the Mountaineers
to their third consecutive 10-
win season this year and into
the District 2 championship
game, where they were on the
brink of upending powerful
Valley View before their quar-
terback was knocked woozy in
what wound up an 18-12 defeat.
I think it had very little to
do with a winning season, (or)
how many hes had, Parry said
of the boards nearly unanimous
vote. Its the way the person is
around the students.
A whole roster of those stu-
dents, past and present, stood
up for him in front of the board
with stories that made Jackson
sound as if he should be in the
running for humanitarian of the
year.
Two years ago, removing
Jackson would have made more
sense, when he was getting
suspended by the PIAA follow-
ing an incident where a few of
his players urinated on the
Tunkhannock High School
tennis court.
Not now.
Not after Jackson took that
hit and kept his team hitting
harder on the field. Not after
his career victory total at a
school that didnt win much
before he arrived put Jackson in
the Wyoming Valley Hall of
Fame this year. Not after his

It wasnt easy for Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton Penguins de-
fenseman Alex Grant to crack
the lineup at the beginning of
the season.
With a blueline corps loaded
with veterans such as Alex-
andre Picard, Robert Bortuzzo
and Joey
Mormina,
along with
talented
rookies Si-
mon
Despres
and Philip
Samuelsson, it was tough for
Grant to get a look. He ap-
peared in just seven of the
teams first 21 games, posting
just one assist.
It was a frustrating start for
Grant, who is in his third sea-
son with the Penguins but ap-
peared in just four games last
year due to an injury.
But when a slew of injuries
struck the organization, the
veterans were summoned to
Pittsburgh. All of a sudden
Grant had an opportunity for
consistent ice time.
And hes responded.
In the Penguins last six
games, Grant has four assists
and is a plus-6, evidence that
with the chance to play every
night, he can be effective at
both ends of the ice.
WhenI was inandout of the
lineup at the start of the year,
Id be wondering if I made a
mistake then I wouldnt be
playing the next game. Now,
Im a lot more confident. I
know I can play at this level. I
just needed a good opportuni-
ty.
Grant has always been
known as a physical defense-
man with an offensive upside
and he hasnt backed away
from those strengths. But re-

NEW YORK The playoffs
races became clearer this week-
end. And cloudier.
As if anyone ever doubted it
would happen, the Packers
earned a first-round bye and the
Saints secured a postseason
berth on Sunday. Green Bay
(13-0) will own NFC home-field
advantage with another victory
as it pursues perfection. New Or-
leans will win the NFC South by
beating Minnesota this week if
Atlanta loses to Jacksonville.
Houston, for the first time
since the Texans were born in
2002, made the parade, winning
the AFCSoutha foregone con-
clusion almost since the day Pey-
ton Manning had neck surgery
and was sidelined in Indianapo-
lis.
New England, as it always
seems to be, is on the verge of
capturing the AFC East. Balti-
more and Pittsburgh might go all
the way to New Years Day to de-
cide the AFC North and possibly
AFC home-field advantage, but
both have comfortable leads for a
wild-card spot, too.
San Francisco grabbed its first
division crown in nine years a
week ago, then apparently cele-

Niners and Saints should battle
for theother first-roundbyeinthe

Many races still in air

SEATTLE Doug Baldwin
picked a national stage to re-
mind the rest of the NFL what
they passed up in last Aprils
draft.
Baldwin, an undrafted rookie
out of Stanford, blocked a first-
quarter punt that was returned
by Michael Robinson 17 yards
for a touchdown, then caught a
29-yard TD pass from Tarvaris
Jackson in the third quarter as
the Seattle Seahawks pulled
away for a 30-13 win over the
staggering St. Louis Rams on
Monday night.
Seattle (6-7) won for the
fourth time in five games and
kept alive its slim hopes for re-
aching the postseason. The Sea-
hawks likely would need to win
out to potentially make the play-
offs a reality, but theyre at least
back in the conversation after a
2-6 start.
Marshawn Lynch topped 100
yards rushing for the fifth time
in the last six games, finishing
with 115 on 23 carries. He
scored a touchdown in his ninth
straight game on a 16-yard run
with 2:57 left to put away Seat-
tles 13th win in its last 14 games
against the Rams.
Seahawks fans threw bags of
Skittles into the end zone as
Lynch celebrated his ninth rush-
ing touchdown this season, and
he tied a franchise record with
nine consecutive games with a
TD.
Baldwin finished with seven
catches for 93 yards and Steven
Hauschka was 3 of 4 on field
goal attempts for the Seahawks.

BILLS
Chan Gailey comes
to Fitzpatricks defense
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. Theres
no question, Buffalo Bills coach Chan
Gailey would prefer Ryan Fitzpatrick to
be more consistent after the quarter-
backs worst start of the season and,
perhaps, career.
Then again, Gailey adds the same
concern would apply for the rest of his
team in the midst of a six-game skid
thats officially knocked Buffalo (5-8)
out of playoff contention.
Gailey came to Fitzpatricks defense
Monday, a day after the quarterback
was criticized following a 37-10 loss at
San Diego. Fitzpatrick went 13 of 34 for
176 yards and two interceptions, the
second one returned for a touchdown.
Gailey has no questions none,
zero, he says regarding Fitzpatricks
role as the teams long-term starter.
The Bills host Miami (4-9) on Sunday.
BUCCANEERS
Raheem Morris says hes
not focused on job security
TAMPA, Fla. Raheem Morris
insists he isnt worried about job secu-
rity.
The coach of the struggling Tampa
Bay Buccaneers reiterated Monday that
his young team is not a finished prod-
uct and that he remains focused on
doing whatever he can to end a seven-
game skid thats ensured the club of a
losing record for the second time in
three seasons under Morris.
The collapse following a 4-2 start
that included wins over NFC South
rivals New Orleans and Atlanta has
created speculation about whether
ownership might consider a coaching
change only a year after Morris ap-
peared to have the NFLs youngest
team headed in the right direction.
The Bucs (4-9) face Dallas (7-6) at
home Saturday night, then close the
season with trips to Carolina and At-
lanta.
BROWNS
Browns defend McCoy
concussion procedures
BEREA, Ohio Browns coach Pat
Shurmur maintains his teams medical
staff followed NFL guidelines when
quarterback Colt McCoy was cleared to
go back in Thursdays game at Pitts-
burgh despite a concussion.
McCoy did not show signs of a con-
cussion until after the game, Shurmur
said. The second-year QB was laid out
on a helmet-to-helmet hit from Pitts-
burghs James Harrison, who is facing
league penalties and possibly a suspen-
sion.
Shurmur refused to provide a yes or
no answer when asked specifically if
the team tested McCoy for a concus-
sion while he was on the sideline.
McCoy was off the field for less than
four minutes before returning to the
game and throwing a costly intercep-
tion in Clevelands 14-3 loss.
McCoy did not practice Monday and
Shurmur does not know if he will be
able to play Sunday at Arizona.
JETS
Leonhard out for season
NEW YORK Jets coach Rex Ryan
says safety Jim Leonhard will miss the
rest of the season with a torn patellar
tendon in his right knee after being
injured in Sundays victory over the
Kansas City Chiefs.
Leonhard underwent an MRI exam,
which confirmed Monday what the Jets
first feared when he went down on a
tackle following an interception. It is
the second straight year Leonhard has
been lost for the season because of a
devastating injury.
Leonhard broke the same leg in a
collision with teammate Patrick Turner
during practice a little more than a year
ago.
PATRIOTS
Sideline spat, defensive
woes come to forefront
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. The side-
line spat between Tom Brady and his
offensive coordinator seems to have
been patched up. The New England
Patriots defense will take longer to fix.
Brady and Bill OBrien got into a
heated argument, shown on national
television, after the quarterback threw
an interception in the end zone in the
fourth quarter of the Patriots 34-27 win
over the Washington Redskins on Sun-
day. Brady said he deserved to be
yelled at after making a bad play.
Coach Bill Belichick declined to dis-
cuss the incident on Monday.
The Patriots allowed 463 yards, the
eighth time in 13 games they gave up at
least 427. Still, theyve won their last
five games and are tied for the AFCs
best record at 10-3 heading into next
Sundays game at the Denver Broncos.
I N B R I E F
KANSAS CITY, Mo. The losses
kept mounting, the tension kept grow-
ing and ultimately Kansas City Chiefs
general manager Scott Pioli decidedthe
status quo was no longer good enough.
It was time to part ways with Todd
Haley.
The Chiefs fired the combustible
head coach Monday with the team Ha-
ley led to a surprising AFC West title
less than a year ago stuck at the bottom
of the division following a series of dev-
astatinginjuries anddiscouragingblow-
outs.
The Chiefs dropped to 5-8 after Sun-
days 37-10 loss the NewYork Jets, their
fifth loss in six games. Kansas City com-
mitted 11 penalties for 128 yards in the
dismal performance,
including a 15-yarder
on Haley for unsports-
manlike conduct that
may have sealed his
fate.
Timinginthese sit-
uations is always diffi-
cult. There never
seems tobe a right time, Chairmanand
CEO Clark Hunt said. We just felt the
inconsistent play the team has experi-
enced throughout the season, including
yesterdays game, made today the right
day to do it.
Haley wasnt the only coach fired
Monday; the Dolphins also dumped To-
ny Sparano after just four seasons. Jack-
sonvilles Jack Del Rio was fired last
month.
Defensive coordinator Romeo Cren-
nel will serve as the Chiefs interim
coach for the final three games, and Pio-
li said he will be considered for the per-
manent job.
I dont perceive Todd Haley as a mis-
take, Pioli said. Todd Haley is a good
football coach. Ill say that. What we
need to do is figure out what direction
were headed in and how were going to
continue to make progress, howwe can
get some consistency back.
Haley took over a team that won six
games the previous two seasons under
HermEdwards, and he leaves with a19-
27 record in his first NFLhead coaching
job. But despite winning the AFC West
last season, its hard to tell if the team
improved under his watch.
The quarterback situation was a
mess, even when Matt Cassel was
healthy, and the offensive line has three
players in Ryan Lilja, Barry Richardson
and Casey Wiegmann who may not be
back next season. Despite a background
on offense, Haley only managed to coax
the unit into an average of 293.8 yards,
which ranked 28th in the league, and
177.4 yards through the air 30th out
of 32 teams.
It was that lackluster performance
that cost Haley his job.
I guess you never expect it because
you always try to be optimistic about
things, but this is the NFL. Its just the
nature of the beast, linebacker Derrick
Johnson said. It goes on all the time,
throughout the year. I wont say its no
big deal its a very big deal for the
Kansas CityChiefs right nowbut this
goes on throughout the year.
Hunt andPioli met late Sunday todis-
cuss Haleys future, and again Monday
morning. They met with Haley after
coming to their decision and then in-
formed the rest of the coaching staff.
Crennel met with the players shortly
afterward.
Romeo is going to do things the way
Romeo knows how to do them, Pioli
said while seated alongside Hunt in a
crowded interview room. I know Ro-
meo is very similar to Todd. Todd was
very passionate about football, Todd
was very passionate about this football
team, these players, and he was very
passionate about winning. Romeo has a
lot of those very qualities.
Haley relieved of duties as K.C. coach
He leaves with a 19-27 record, but
led Chiefs to playoffs in 2010. Def.
coordinator Crennel is interim man.

MIAMI Tony Sparano has been
firedas coachof theMiami Dolphins, the
third dismissal of an NFL coach in the
past two weeks.
The move came Monday, one day af-
ter the Dolphins lost to the Philadelphia
Eagles to fall to 4-9. The defeat ended a
recent surge by the Dolphins after they
lost their first seven
games.
With two other
teams already in the
market for a new
coach, owner Stephen
Ross didnt want to
wait any longer tostart
shopping. Sparanos
dismissal came hours
after the Kansas City Chiefs fired coach
Todd Haley. Jacksonville fired coach
Jack Del Rio on Nov. 29.
Todd Bowles, who had been Miamis
assistant head coach and secondary
coach, will be the interimhead coach for
the final three games, starting Sunday at
Buffalo. Jeff Irelandwill remainas gener-
al manager and take part in the coaching
search.
The Dolphins are assured of their
third consecutive losing season, the
longest such streak since the 1960s.
Theyll miss the playoffs for the ninth
time in 10 years.
The results speak for themselves,
Ross said at a hastily called news confer-
ence. Were looking to becoming a win-
ning organization, and I thought this
was the best time to make the change
andlet us goina directionthat will allow
us to become that.
Ross is expected to pursue a coach
with star power. Among those men-
tioned as possible candidates are Bill
Cowher, Jeff Fisher and Jon Gruden.
Id like to find a young Don Shula if
thats possible, Ross said with a smile.
Joining Ross at the news conference
was Ireland, who hired Sparano in Mia-
mi and also worked with him in Dallas.
Its a difficult day for me, Ireland
said. Hes a friend of mine. He has been
a colleague of mine from before we got
here together.
With Ireland remaining in charge of
personnel, a coach of Cowhers caliber
might not be interested in coming to
Miami. On the other hand, Ireland
stressed the need for an experienced
coach, whichmight rule out hiringanas-
sistant.
Youre looking for the best candidate
out there, a guy who has been in the
trenches before, Ireland said. Youre
looking for some of the same qualities I
saw in Tony a tireless worker, a guy
who understands offense and defense.
Well talk about those things as the
weeks go by, and exactly what were
looking for, and iron out a plan that best
fits what Mr. Ross is looking for.
Bowles, in his fourth season with the
Dolphins, is among those who will be in-
terviewed. Hes the sixth coach since
2004 for the Dolphins, who havent won
a playoff game since 2000 and havent re-
ached the Super Bowl since 1984.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. The
gloom of four straight losses has been
liftedandfor the first time inmore than
a month, the New York Giants can see
the finishline inthis injury-riddledsea-
son.
With their 37-34 win over the Dallas
Cowboys on Sunday night, the Giants
(7-6) are in control of their postseason
hopes.
Believe it or not.
It was hard feeling that way coming
off losses to San Francisco, Philadel-
phia, NewOrleans and Green Bay over
the past month, but pulling one out in
Dallas with yet another fourth-quarter
rally has made the picture clear.
I dont think it matteredhowwe did
it, I thinkbottomlinewasaboutjustget-
ting a win, center Kevin Boothe said.
We havent won in a long time and our
opportunities are getting short. So, it
didnt matter who we were playing and
howmuchwewonby. Wealways would
liketowinbya lot morebut just getting
backinthewincolumnandputtingour-
selves in the position to have an oppor-
tunity. That is what we play for, to have
meaningful games in December and
here we are with everything in front of
us. Wejust havetotakeadvantageof it.
If the Giants beat the Redskins, Jets
and Cowboys, they are heading back to
the playoffs for the first time since after
the 2008 season.
Remarkably, Tom Coughlin spent
most of this season talking to his team
about the importance of finishing after
second-half collapsesledtomissingthe
postseasonthe last two years.
Doing it this year would be special
since the team lost cornerback Terrell
Thomas, linebacker Jonathan Goff and
second-round draft pick Marvin Austin
toinjuriesintrainingcampandstarting
left tackle Will Beatty to an eye injury
during the season. In all, NewYork has
12 players oninjuredreserve.
Impleasedthat theyrefightingand
working their tails off and Im happy
that theywerereinforcedlast night, but
it certainly doesnt stop here, Cough-
lin said. Theres a lot of work to be
done.
The Giants are also going to have to
deal with more injuries. Defensive cap-
tain Justin Tuck, who has missed four
games withneckandgroininjuries, has
been slowed by a toe problem the past
two games and he told WFAN in his
weeklyinterviewthat hedoesnot know
whether hell beabletoplayagainst the
Redskins at MetLife Stadium.
Coughlinalsodisclosedthatlefttack-
le David Diehl (hand), tight end Jake
Ballard (wrist) and backup tight end
Travis Beckum (bruised chest) might
miss a little practice this week but they
are expected to play against the Red-
skins, a team that beat the Giants to
openthe season.
The Giants dont have to win their fi-
nal three games to make the playoffs. If
they finish at 9-7 and sweep the season
series withDallas, theywill capturethe
division.

One Giant step for New York

SANTA CLARA, Calif. The San
Francisco 49ers dont seem to have
much momentum heading into the
stretch run after losing two of their last
three.
What they do have is a growing list of
concerns, most of themon offense.
Running back Frank Gore is hurting,
quarterback Alex Smith had his worst
performance of the season in Sundays
loss to division rival Arizona and the of-
fensive line has surrendered 18 sacks
over the past three games.
There are also the teams season-long
struggles in the red zone, which proved
tobethedifferenceagainsttheCardinals
as San Francisco drove inside the 10
three times only to settle for field goals.
On top of that, the NFCWest champs
have a tough Monday night game
against Pittsburgh coming up next.
Suddenly, the 49ers grip on the con-
ferences No. 2 playoff seed isnt as
strong as it once was, though coach Jim
Harbaugh doesnt seem overly con-
cerned.
Heylook, weknowtheresgoingtobe
criticism, Harbaugh said Monday. We
knowtheres going to be whys for what
happened, for what took place. ... and
werenot goingtotalkabout it. Werego-
ing to talk about it to our players, to our
team, andmakeareal effort aswealways
dototrytoaddress(them) andget them
fixed. Well take on those problems.
At10-3, SanFranciscoistiedwithNew
Orleansfor thesecond-best recordinthe
NFC behind unbeaten Green Bay. The
49ershavetheedgeovertheSaintsintie-
breakers based on conference record.
Any chance they have of securing a
first-round bye, however, could dwindle
if their redzone issues persist. SanFran-
cisco has scored touchdowns a league-
worst 35.6 percent of the time (16 of 45)
from inside the opposing 20. The NFL
average is 52 percent.
The problem has gotten worse as the
season has gone along, too.
In their last 19 trips inside the red
zone, the 49ers have only three touch-
downs with15 field goals and one inter-
ception. That includes Sundays 0-for-3
effort.
Harbaugh acknowledged hes in-
volved in the red zone play-calling but
doesnt plan to take on a bigger role de-
spite the problems.
Offensively we moved the ball and
thendidnt takeasmuchof anadvantage
of theturnoversandtheopportunitiesin
theredzonethat wecouldhave. ..., Har-
baugh said. There was a lot of opportu-
nities to win the football game and we
did not get it done.

Parise, Henrique key New Jerseys win
actions on the field made him
look like an alter boy over the
past two seasons, even if his
mouth didnt always seem
ready to accept communion.
So Jacksons language gets
awfully salty. That puts him on
a long list of highly-successful
coaches whove put together
programs to swear by.
From the reaction of some
fans, youd swear Jackson
pummeled a kid he simply
pulled away from the field in
the waning moments of a
victory over Wyoming Valley
West. In the process, Jackson
may have prevented the possi-
bility of a fight between the
teams with his quick action.
All that seems to get lost on
those quick to condemn him
as being over the top, if not
out of control.
I was at a Christmas party
where people didnt know me
and they were talking about
this incident, Parry said, who
didnt reveal exactly which
incident. They didnt know I
was listening and I was
amazed at the way the re-
sponses were.
Dallas board members de-
cided to deliver their own
response, after listening to
criticism of their coach. They
told Jackson to take a hike.
They just better realize
because of him, the next guy
coming in has a real mountain
to climb.

crowd filed out, with some
shouting disparaging remarks
to the board.
My son needs this motiva-
tion, said WilliamGately, a sin-
gle father whose son Bill is a
member of the team. (The
coaches) got more out of him
than I could. He comes home
and praises the coaches, the
trainers and everybody else.
Jackson had a 227-83-3 record
in 27 seasons at Dallas. His
teams have posted a losing re-
cord just once, when the 2009
squad finished 2-8. Dallas won
the PIAA Class 2A state cham-
pionship in 1993 and was in the
District 2 Class 3A champion-
ship game two of the last three
years.
However, Jackson has also
had some issues during his ten-
ure. He was suspended for one
game in 2007 for an incident
that happened at a private resi-
dence. Dallas was put on proba-
tion by District 2 for the 2008
and 2009 seasons for a bench-
clearing brawl in the 2008 sea-
son opener against William-
sport.
Jackson was also suspended
for a year by District 2 a penal-
ty later reduced to four games
after it was appealed to the
PIAA Board of Directors for a
Sept. 18, 2009, incident at half-
time of a game at Tunkhannock
in which several Dallas players
urinated on the tennis courts.
The Dallas School Boardlater
approved payments totaling
$5,324.92 for legal fees for the
hearings andcleaningof the ten-
nis courts. Dallas had seven
sanctions in all imposed for the
incident, including having its
probation extended through the
2010 and 2011 seasons.
It was a culmination of a
number of things, said board
president Catherine Wega, who
voted to retain Jackson at an
April 2009 meeting. If you look
back throughout history youll
see there were split votes
throughout the years. Some-
times things happened, and
weve opened positions before.
Board member Karen Kyle
was one of four who voted
against Jackson in April 2009.
She did again Monday as did Dr.
Richard Coslett and Maureen
Matiska. Alsovotingtoopenthe
position were Charles Preece
and new board members Fred
Parry, Larry Schuler and Col-
leen Slocum.
There is no doubt in my
mind hes an outstanding foot-
ball coach, Kyle said. But
there are some things that have
happened over the years that
make me believe we should
open the position.
The school district also inves-
tigated an alleged assault of a
player by Jackson in the final
minute of an Oct. 8 game with
Wyoming Valley West. Galicki
said a few days after the game
the allegation was unfounded.
The players mother said Sun-
day her son wasnt assaulted.
Gridiron Club president Nick
Zapoticky, whose son Ryan is
the starting quarterback, pre-
sented the board with a petition
with over 500 signatures in sup-
port of Jacksonprior tothe vote.
Players F.J. Costantino, Ryan
Monk, Buddy Shutlock and
Dante Zurenda also voiced their
support for Jackson before the
board.
Im telling you right now,
Zurenda said, getting rid of
Coach Jackson is a very big mis-
take. Not only is he an outstand-
ing coach but an outstanding
man (with) almost 30 years of
Dallas tradition.
A large contingent of players
attendedthe meetinginsupport
of Jackson.
Monday was the fourth time
in seven years that Jacksons po-
sition was thought to be in jeop-
ardy.
At the April 2009 meeting,
the school board voted 5-4 to re-
tainJackson. Goeringer andWe-
ga along with Russ Bigus, Den-
nis Goechel and Gary Mathers
voted to keep Jackson. Coslett,
Kyle, Matiska and Dick Ostrow-
ski voted against him.
In February 2008, Jackson
was retained when he and seven
other coaches were hired by a
5-4vote. The boardvotedfor the
coaches as a single group after a
motion by board member Rich
Orloski to vote on each sepa-
rately was defeated 5-4.
In May 2004, Jackson was re-
tained by a 6-3 margin as the
boardmade a single vote onhim
and 10 other coaches. Goechel
had made a motion to vote for
each coach individually, but it
was defeated 5-4. A motion by
board member James Richard-
son to table the football coach
vote also failed 5-4.

Justin Accordino was sched-
uled to wrestle at 157 pounds
he was nationally ranked this
season, but is still wrestling at
149 pounds for the Hofstra wres-
tling team.
Accordino (Coughlin) is 5-4
at 149 and 2-2 at 157. Hes
ranked17th in the country in the
latter weight.
After planning on wrestling
at 157 pounds this season, Justin
was very unselfish going down
to149 pounds for us after an
injury, coach Rob Anspach
said. We needed himat 149 so
as not to forfeit that weight class
to Wisconsin and he wrestled
well on short notice. And, he
placed eighth in Las Vegas (Cliff
Kean Invitational) and nowits
his spot to lose.
Accordino was13-8 in tourna-
ments only at 141as a red-shirt
freshman and he really came on
strong the next season when he
was 25-13 with11falls at the
same weight and earned an
at-large berth to the NCAA
Division I Tournament. He
followed that up by competing
in one match and one tourna-
ment before a knee injury ended
his season. He gained a medical
red-shirt. Last season he moved
up to149 and was 9-6 with three
pins in limited action.
Justin has basically missed
the last two seasons with knee
injuries, Anspach said. But
hes progressing well this year
and started out very well. He is
working his way back into wres-
tling shape and is a little bit
inconsistent right nowbut,
overall, he is doing a great job
and is improving each and every
match. He is working with Gre-
gor Gillespie (assistant coach)
to be more consistent on the
mat and we are seeing that the
past couple of weeks.
Accordino is 50-28 in his
career with19 pins.
The Pride returns to action
Jan. 1-2 at the Southern Scuffle
in Chattanooga, TN.
FLANAGANIMPROVING
Junior Alyssa Flanagan (Hazle-
ton Area) is starting for the
Bloomsburg womens basketball
team.
The 5-foot-6 guard leads the
Huskies in assists with 51and is
also averaging 6.2 points and 2.8
rebounds with11steals. She had
14 points, eight assists, four
rebounds and three steals in a
77-68 victory over California,
Pa. and had13 points and eight
assists in an 83-61victory over
Philadelphia Sciences.
Alyssa has REALLYim-
proved her game this season,
coach Bill Cleary said. She has
realized that she needs to be-
come more of an offensive
threat for us. In that California
game, she was four-for-four from
3-point range and was a big
factor in that win.
Cleary calls Flanagan our
glue.
Alyssa means so much to us,
he said. She is one of the main
reasons why we have come such
a long way as a program.
Sophomore Brianna Dudeck
(Hazleton Area) is also on the
squad. Areserve guard, shes
averaging1.1points with five
rebounds, two assists and two
steals.
The Huskies are 8-2 overall
and 2-2 in PSACplay and face
Chestnut Hill Monday in a non-
leaguer in Philadelphia.
LAVANATEAMPLAYER
Senior James Lavan (Coughlin)
has started all eight games at
guard for the Marywood mens
basketball team. The 5-foot-11
tri-captain is averaging 6.6
points with17 assists, nine
steals and nine rebounds. He
had a career-high19 points in a
recent 70-60 victory over Arca-
dia.
Jimmy is one of the hardest
working, toughest players that
Ive ever coached, Eric Grund-
man said. He places the team
above his own personal agenda
and goals and does anything and
everything to win.
According to the coach, Lavan
takes his job as tri-captain seri-
ously.
He has outstanding lead-
ership abilities, Grundman
said. And, hes playing solid
basketball this year and has
improved his quickness as he
has recovered fromankle in-
juries suffered early last year.
The injuries cost Lavan the
final seven games last season.
I believe that Jimmy will
continue to improve throughout
the course of the season as well
as leave a lasting imprint on our
programof sacrifice, commit-
ment and high character,
Grundman said.
The Pacers are 4-4 overall and
3-2 in the Colonial States Athlet-
ic Conference.
BELLS CONTRIBUTING
Sophomore Chris Bell of Wyom-
ing (Choate Rosemary Hall
Prep) is a key member of the
George Washington mens
squash team.
Bell has been playing at either
No. 7 or 8 for the Colonials, who
are ranked17th in the country.
Hes currently 6-3 with one of
his losses against No. 24 Con-
necticut coming after games of
11-4, 7-11, 9-11, 11-2 and 7-11. In a
recent match against Bowdoin
he came out on the other end of
a tough 5-game victory. Hes
also suffered close losses
against No. 1Trinity and No. 3
Princeton.
C.J is extremely fit and a
hard-worker both on the court
and in the classroom, coach
Wendy Lawrence said. He is
dedicated to his training and he
is hungry to play hard and work
his way into the top of the team
ladder.
The Colonials return to action
Jan. 11at Navy.
MIHALHELPEDLEHIGH
The Lehigh football teampost-
ed an11-2 record this season and
sawthat season come to an end
with a 24-0 loss to No. 2 seed
North Dakota State in the Foot-
ball Championship Subdivision
quarterfinals last Saturday in
Fargo.
Senior Fred Mihal (Dallas), a
6-foot-4, 245-pound linebacker,
had three tackles for Lehigh in
that game and finished the
season with 43 tackles, includ-
ing 28 solos. He had 4.5 tackles
for losses of 17 yards with two
sacks. He also had three pass
breakups, two quarterback hits,
two forced fumbles and a fumble
recovery.
Mihal started his career at
tight end but moved to lineback-
er his junior year.
SZULBORSKI LEADS THE
WAY Senior Kasia Szulborski
is a key member of the Dickin-
son womens swimteamthat
sawits dual meet record go to
7-3 with a110-95 victory over
Messiah last week.
Szulborski (Dallas) was a
member of the winning 200
medley relay (2:00.86) and
finished fourth in both the100
(58.81) and 200 (2:06.59) frees-
tyle races against Messiah.
Kasia is a great teamleader,
coach Paul Richards said. Her
experience in our program
makes her a valuable resource to
the underclassmen.
Szulborski also competes in
the 50 free and with the free
relays for the Red Devils.
I think Kasia is significantly
ahead physically fromlast year
and we expect great success
fromher the second half of the
season.
BARLETTACOMINGON
Freshman Chris Barletta (Hazle-
ton Area) is finding his way as a
member of the Castleton State
mens basketball team.
The 6-foot, 165-pound guard
has seen action off the bench in
all eight games for the 4-4 Spar-
tans and is averaging 3.9 points
with 21assists, 12 rebounds and
10 steals.
Chris has been making stea-
dy progress, coach Paul Culpo
said. We are playing a very
fast-paced style and that has
probably helped Chris to some
degree. Hes been a spark com-
ing off the bench.
Culpo feels that Barletta will
be a very good player for Castle-
ton as he progresses.
One thing Chris needs to
work on is his jump shot, the
coach said. He needs to get
more consistent, but all-in-all,
Imextremely happy with his
progress to date.
INJURIES SLOWINGROO-
SA For the second straight
season Bloomsburg red-shirt
junior wrestler Josh Roosa
(Crestwood) has been slowed
by injuries. Hes 8-3 this season,
was12-10 last season and won
20 matches the year before as a
red-shirt freshman.
Josh battled injuries last year
and was healthy coming into
this season, coach John Stutz-
man said. He was doing well
and had been improving but he
is currently injured again and
will be out for a while.
Roosa didnt compete in the
PSACChampionships last
weekend, the Huskies finishing
second.
Freshman Mike Mirra (Crest-
wood) is also a member of the
squad.
Mike is learning the ropes,
Stutzman said. Right now, hes
starting at 184.
Mirra has a 2-2 record in dual
matches and a 2-3 mark in tour-
naments.

JimBoeheimhas beencoaching
for 35 years and one thing he has
learned is that players are able to
focus on basketball even when
there is a whirlwind around them.
TheSyracuseprogramhas been
in the headlines since former as-
sistant coach Bernie Fine was al-
legedtohavemolestedtwoformer
ball boys. Quietly, theOrangehave
foundawaytothetopof TheAsso-
ciated Press Top 25.
Youngkids constantlyhave dif-
ferent things going in their lives,
school, relationships, howtheyare
playing, a million things go
through their minds, Boeheim
said Monday. They have the abil-
ity to focus on things they have to
do and they get it done. Its a great
thingabout kids, that older people
tend to get caught up or get unfo-
cused, get caught up more in out-
side influences and cant separate
them. Kids arent like that. They
focus on what they control and go
forward. Its agoodthingabout be-
ing young.
The Orange (10-0) jumpedfrom
third to No. 1following losses this
weekend by Kentucky and Ohio
State. They received 51 first-place
votes fromthe 65-member nation-
al media panel.
Its the fourth time theyve
topped the poll and the first time
since a one-week appearance late
in 2009-10. Syracuse was No. 1 in
the1987-88 preseason poll and for
six weeks in1989-90.
Its something that means a lot
to a program.
Were proud to be No. 1 in the
country, Boeheim said. Its an
honor but obviously in todays
worldyoucouldonlybethereuntil
your next game if youre not care-
ful. Theres so much balance out
there. I think its still a big honor
for our players to get to that spot
and we have played well. We have
to play better but thats OK be-
cause its a great challenge and
were looking forward it.
The Oranges big win this sea-
son was over then-No. 10 Florida,
but they have been impressive in
theothers, especiallyonthedefen-
siveendbehindBoeheims famous
2-3 zone.
I thinkonethingis wehavebal-
ance offensively and defensively,
Boeheim said. We have really
good balance. I think thats impor-
tant to have a great team. We have
the balance individually and as a
teamand thats whats really good
about this team and hopefully
well get better but Im sure all
coaches think that right now.
Ohio State (8-1), which didnt
have star center Jared Sullinger in
the loss to Kansas, stayed second,
while Kentucky (8-1) dropped
from first to third following the
buzzer-beating loss to Indiana.
The Hoosiers, one of four new-
comers this week, moved in at
18th, their first appearance since
2007-08.
Ohio State, which hasnt had
Sullingerfortwogamesbecauseof
back spasms, received seven first-
place votes, three more than Ken-
tucky.
Louisville, which had two No. 1
votes, and North Carolina, which
hadone, switchedplaces fromlast
week at fourth and fifth.
Baylor, Duke, Xavier, Connecti-
cut and Missouri rounded out the
top10.
Marquette was 11th followed by
Kansas, Florida, Wisconsin, Pitts-
burgh, Georgetown, Mississippi
State, Indiana, Illinois and Michi-
gan.
The last of the ranked teams
wereMichiganState, Texas A&M,
Alabama, Murray State and
Creighton and Vanderbilt, who
were tied for 25th.
Christian Watfords 3 at the
buzzer moved Indiana (9-0) into
thepoll forthefirst timesinceTom
Crean took over as coach follow-
ing KelvinSampsons dismissal af-
ter the 2007-08 season.
Theother newcomers this week
were No. 21 Michigan State (8-2),
No. 24 Murray State (10-0) and
No. 25 Vanderbilt.
Michigan State is in for the first
time this season. The Spartans
have won eight straight includ-
ing a win over Gonzaga last week
since opening the season with
losses to North Carolina and
Duke.
Murray State joined the rank-
ings for the first time since the fi-
nal poll of 1997-98. The Racers
beat Memphis on the road last
week.
Vanderbilt is back in the rank-
ings after one weekout. The Com-
modores, who were No. 7 in the
preseason poll, welcomed back
center Festus Ezeli, who missed
the first sixgames of the seasonaf-
ter beingsuspendedbytheuniver-
sity for accepting meals and a ho-
tel room from a booster and two
more because of a right knee inju-
ry, in a win over Davidson last
week.
Memphis (5-3) was 11th in the
preseasonpoll andreachedashigh
as eighth. But the Tigers, who lost
to Michigan and Georgetown in
the EA Sports Maui Invitational,
dropped out from 21st following
the home loss to Murray State.
Gonzaga (5-2) lost to Michigan
State this week and fell out from
23rd.
Harvard (9-1) moved into the

CINCINNATI Suspended
Cincinnati forward Yancy Gates
apologized to everyone, from his
family to his entire hometown,
for throwing punches that left
much more than just a bloody
gash below the eye of a Xavier
player.
Then, he wept.
The Bearcats made their four
suspended players attend a news
conference on Monday and apol-
ogize for their part ina brawl that
ended eighth-ranked Xaviers 76-
53 victory on Saturday and
brought the city a lot of bad na-
tional publicity.
No one was shown in the re-
plays more than Gates, a 6-foot-9,
260-pound player who flattened
Xaviers Kenny Frease with a
blindside punch. Frease got a cut
below the left eye and fell to the
court, where he was kickedby an-
other Cincinnati player.
Im just not that type of per-
son, Gates said, his eyes tearing.
Alot of people have been calling
me a thug, a gangster ...
Gates then lowered his head
and wiped away tears before cov-
ering his eyes with his black and
red warmup shirt and crying.
The public apologies were the
latest step in both schools at-
tempt to repair their images and
their rivalry, which has always
had an edge but never spilled
over into a brawl until Saturday
at Xaviers Cintas Center.
With 9.4 seconds left, Xavier
senior guard Tu Holloway taunt-
ed Cincinnatis bench, upset that
one Bearcat player had made dis-
paragingremarks about himlead-
ing up to the game. The words
led to shoves, Gates threw the
basketball at Holloway and the
free-for-all erupted.
Four players from each team
have been suspended. Cincinnati
gave six-game penalties to Yates,
starting center Cheikh Mbodj
and freshman forward Octavius
Ellis for joining in the brawl.
Freshman guard GeLawn Guyn
was suspended for one game for
his exchange with Holloway at
the start of the confrontation.
Xavier suspended Holloway
for one game, starting guard
Mark Lyons for two, and starting
forward Dez Wells and reserve
Landen Amos for four games
each. Holloway apologized on
Sunday for instigating the brawl
with his trash talking.
Gates, who grew up in Cincin-
nati, thought he might get kicked
off the team for his flurry of
punches that hit at least two Xa-
vier players in the face. He spent
Saturday night watching televi-
sion replays of the fight and fear-
ing it would be the end of his ca-
reer.
It looks bad, it was bad, he
said. The whole situation was
bad. Thats the only thing that
kept going through my mind,
that it might be over, a lot of peo-
ple wont want me playing. I just
had to sit back and wait and see
what was going to happen.
They kept showing it (on tele-
vision), which made it worse and
worse.
Coach Mick Cronin said Mon-
day that the suspended players
will get anger-management coun-
seling and do some form of com-
munity service as part of their
punishment.
The local prosecutor said in a
statement on Monday that he
would determine whether any
criminal charges are appropriate,
but declined further comment.
Anything were asked to do,
we will comply with, Cronin
said. Whatever they feel they
need to do, we understand.
The future of the annual rivalry
game is in question. Its devel-
oped a nasty edge, with a lot of
buildup to the game in the media
and the community. The rawmo-
ments from previous games get
replayed and rehashed in the
days leading up to the game.
On Sunday, Xavier athletics di-
rector Mike Bobinski said the se-
ries should continue, with the
schools turning it into a celebra-
tion of the Division I basketball
thats played in the city of Cincin-
nati and not the Hatfield and
McCoy event that its turned into
over the years.
Cincinnati athletics director
Whit Babcock said on Monday
that hes unsure whether there
will be another game. He said the
series should continue only if
they can change the culture of
the game.

coach John Hynes, Grant
has shown improvement in
the defensive areas of the
game.
Its a nice blend, Hynes
said. Hes had the ability to
skate and be involved with
the offense, and he had to be
more cognizant defensively.
Hes worked at it and hes
done a nice job.
Grant has performed so
well that when the Penguins
defeated the Hershey Bears
on Saturday with a depleted
defense corps, Hynes didnt
hesitate using him late in
the game to shut down the
powerful Hershey offense.
After playing sparingly
last season, Grant was hap-
py to be handed the impor-
tant role.
I love that. I was counted
on and I love being in that
situation, he said. Theres
no better feeling then when
you get called on in the last
few minutes to go out there
and shut the team down. I
take pride in that.
While Grant spent the
first two months of the sea-
son just trying to crack the
lineup, his play over the last
couple weeks suggests it
may be hard for Hynes to
take him out after players
get healthy and return from
Pittsburgh.
Still, Grant isnt taking his
ice time for granted and he
knows he has to continue to
improve if he wants to avoid
more healthy scratches.
Right now the only D
that are playing are literally
the only ones here. Im not
going to get complacent, he
said. If Im not playing well
now, its not going to help
when all the other defense-
men come back. I cant have
a bad shift let alone a bad
game. I have to stay consis-
tent.
NOTEBOOK
New defensemen Dan
Henningson and Peter
Merth both had a good
showing on Saturday
against Hershey. Both play-
ers were playing in the
ECHL before getting the call
from Wilkes-Barre/Scran-
ton, and Hynes said they
have fit right in. They have
good defensive instincts and
habits. Theyre the type of
guys you want to have high
character and tough to play
against, he said.
Hynes was also happy
with the play of goaltender
Scott Munroe, who won
both of his last two starts
and has a 2.14 GAA and a
.919 save percentage to go
along with three shutouts.
Munroe has formed a strong
tandem with last seasons
AHL Goaltender of the Year
Brad Thiessen, an element
that Hynes said is crucial for
a winning team. To have
success you have to have
two guys that can play be-
cause you have call-ups, in-
juries and the amount of
games and travel, Hynes
said. Its nice now that we
have two guys that can play.
Thiessen will start to-
night as the Penguins host
Binghamton.
F Bryan Lerg didnt
practice on Monday. Hynes
said it was simply a rest day.
Injured defenseman
Joey Mormina also didnt
practice and wont play to-
night but may be ready for
the weekend. D Boris Vala-
bik could play this weekend,
Hynes said.

gals.
In the chase for wild-card
berths, theres nopredictingwhat
the Falcons, Lions and Bears
might dointhe NFC. Nor the Jets
and Titans in the AFC. The best
recordamongthemis NewYorks
8-5, a shaky 8-5.
Even the Seahawks, Cardinals,
Chargers andholdyour breath
Eagles remain alive.
Weplayedlikementoday, Ea-
gles defensive end Jason Babin
saidafter a26-10victoryat Miami
liftedthemto5-8, hardly a playoff
pace inmost years. Do we have a
chance for the playoffs? Maybe.
We were kindof out of it, but guys
in this locker room decided,
Were going to play and have fun
and show you guys we love the
game. I thinkthat reallyrangtrue
the whole day.
Onethingseemscertain: When
theNFLseasonconcludes onJan.
1, there should be plenty of mea-
ningful games, both for division
championships and wild-card
slots. The Cowboys and Giants
will face off in the Meadowlands,
probably to decide the NFCEast.
Baltimore is at Cincinnati, with
perhaps the division and a wild-
card spot on the line. If Seattle
and Arizona keep winning, they
face off for what could be one of
the most unexpected wild cards
sincetheNFLimplementedthem
after merging with the AFL. De-
troit visits Green Bay, which
could be going for 16-0 while the
Lions are trying to squeeze into
the postseason for the first time
since 1999.
Not that everyone in the run-
ning deserves to be there. One or
even both of the NFCs wild-card
entries might be .500 or 9-7
teams, as compared to10-6 being
required in the AFC. Thats what
keeps such teams as the Cardi-
nals (6-7), Cowboys and Giants
(both 7-6) going. If Arizona can
knock off Cleveland, Cincinnati
and Seattle not exactly a mur-
derers row it could ace out an
NFCEast or North runner-up.
The Jets control the second
wild-card spot in the AFCbehind
Baltimore or Pittsburgh. New
York has become accustomed to
beingawildcard, usingthat route
to make the last two conference
title games. Win out and the Jets
fly into the postseason again, but
given the way theyve performed
this season, its difficult to have
confidence they can finish out
with a six-game winning streak.
Well just do what we can do,
cornerback Darrelle Revis said.
Its good to know we can get it
done on our own.
More likely, none of the teams
chasing wild cards will get it ac-
complished on its own, and each
will be looking for kindness dur-
ing the holidays. Just look at how
theLionsstruggledtoholdoff the
wretched Vikings on Sunday.
I dont knowif youcall it dodg-
ing a bullet, Lions quarterback
Matthew Stafford said. You
know, we got to win, so thats one
down, we got three left.
Three wins might be too many
to ask fromthemand assorted
other contenders.
PLAYOFFS
Continued from Page 1B
LOS ANGELES The day
began with the Los Angeles
Clippers rejecting a proposed
deal by the NewOrleans Horn-
ets for Chris Paul and it ended
with themclaiming five-time
All-Star guard Chauncey Billups
off waivers and re-signing center
DeAndre Jordan.
General manager Neil Olshey
said Monday the teamfelt the
cost was just too high in what it
would have to give up to acquire
Paul.
Olshey declined to identify
whomthe Clippers had offered
in exchange for Paul but their
package reportedly included
center Chris Kaman, reserve
guard Eric Bledsoe, forward
Al-Farouq Aminu and their No. 1
pick in the 2012 draft. Reports
suggested the Hornets also
wanted guard Eric Gordon in-
cluded.
There wasnt one piece or
another piece that killed this
deal, Olshey said. The aggre-
gate compensation that we were
going to have to convey to them
was just too much and it was
going to hamstring our franchise
in the long term.
Its the second time in five
days that a deal moving Paul to
Los Angeles fell apart. Last
week, NBA Commissioner Da-
vid Stern nixed a three-team
trade by the league-owned Horn-
ets, Los Angeles Lakers and
Houston Rockets that would
have sent Paul to the Lakers.
This is a superstar player that
is obviously in a delicate sit-
uation with his current fran-
chise, Olshey said. We just felt
right nowwere just not going to
be able to meet where were
equally satisfied with the out-
come.
The Clippers used their re-
maining $3.5 million in salary
cap roomto claimBillups. The
35-year-old point guard was
waived by the NewYork Knicks
last weekend.
Weve tried eight, 10 times
over the years to try and trade
for Chauncey. Its never worked
out before, Olshey said. This is
another great addition to our
roster. Hes going to be a great fit
with our guys.
Billups averaged16.8 points,
5.4 assists and 2.6 rebounds in
72 games with Denver and the
Knicks last season. He was trad-
ed to NewYork in February. He
helped lead Detroit to the NBA
championship in 2004, when he
was MVP of the finals.
Olshey said the decision to
acquire Billups was independent
of the teamrejecting the Horn-
ets offer.
This is not a precursor to
another move. This is not laying
the groundwork for another
opportunity, he said.
The Clippers had a need for
Billups since Bledsoe is expect-
ed to be sidelined six to eight
weeks while recovering from
right knee surgery on Oct. 7.
He has the ability to add a lot
to our organization, on and off
the court, coach Vinny Del
Negro said about Billups. Hes
not ready to retire. He has too
much left in the tank.
The teammatched a $42.7
million, four-year offer sheet
fromthe Golden State Warriors
for restricted free agent Jordan,

Grizzlies, Gasol reach
tentative deal
MEMPHIS, Tenn. Marc
Gasol announced on Twitter
that he has reached a tentative
agreement with the Grizzlies
keeping himin Memphis.
Gasol tweeted on Monday
night that he cant wait to get
on the court with all my team-
mates!
The Memphis Grizzlies con-
firmed the agreement later,
keeping a player general manag-
er Chris Wallace called one of
the franchises cornerstones.
Marc has been a Memphis
basketball player ever since his
high school days at Lausanne,
and were excited for himto
continue his blossoming career
with the Grizzlies, Wallace said
in a statement.
The Commercial Appeal re-
ported Gasol and the Grizzlies
agreed on a four-year deal worth
nearly $58 million. The center
was a restricted free agent, and
Grizzlies owner Michael Heisley
had said they would match any
offer for Gasol to keep together a
teamthat lost to Oklahoma City
in seven games in the Western
Conference semifinals last
spring.

Home sales overstated
National home sales figures will be
lowered dating back to 2007 after the
private trade group that collects them
said the numbers were too high.
The National Association of Realtors
said Monday it will release the down-
ward revisions for previously occupied
homes on Dec. 21.
Last years total sales figure of 4.91
million was the worst in 13 years.
CoreLogic, the California-based data
firm that first raised doubts about the
annual numbers earlier this year, esti-
mated that the Realtors group over-
stated sales in 2010 by at least 15 per-
cent.
Intel lowers projections
Chip-maker Intel Corp. cut its
fourth-quarter revenue outlook on
Monday to below Wall Streets expecta-
tions due to shortages of hard disk
drives.
Santa Clara, Calif.-based Intel now
expects fourth quarter revenue of $13.4
billion to $14 billion, 6-8 percent below
previous forecasts.
Intel said companies are reducing
inventories and microprocessor pur-
chases because of hard-drive shortages.
Floods in Thailand have disrupted
computer manufacturers production
because many companies have facto-
ries there.
Google deal scrutinized
European regulators have asked
Google to provide more information
about its proposed $12.5 billion acquisi-
tion of cell phone maker Motorola
Mobility.
The request is the latest sign that
regulators in Europe and the U.S. are
taking a hard look at the deal to ensure
it doesnt give Google the means to
stifle competition in the increasingly
important mobile computing and ad-
vertising market.
The U.S. Justice Department also is
reviewing what would be the biggest
acquisition in Googles 13-year history.

Ram HD Laramie Longhorn and the
Toyota Tacoma.
While Motor Trend tested versions
of the pickup with a 5.0-liter V-8 en-
gine, it was Fords 3.5-liter V-6 Eco-
Boost engine that helped capture the
award.

IT SEEMS LIKE all
of the cool tech toys
are just over the
horizon.
Imagine if your
desk were a 40-inch
iPad, complete with
all the fancy touch
widgets and swishy animations.
Now imagine that the desk can
control your computer, and act as a
work area, all at the same time.
The EXOdesk from EXOPC is all of
the above and more. It looks for all the
world like a prop from Star Trek,
only its even more cool.

The EXOdesk is reported to come

Theres one crucial difference between
the Surface and the EXOdesk ... the
price tag.
The Surface can cost between
$8,000 and $10,000 and isnt available

The EXOdesk costs $1,299, and is
readily available ... or at least it will
be, after it goes on sale in 2012.
The EXOdesk is slated to debut at
the Consumer Electronics Show in
January. Its hard to guess at the im-
pact that the technology will have.
Statements like, It will revolutionize

the value is clear displays like this

OAKLAND, Calif. Hundreds of Wall
Street protesters blocked gates at some of
the West Coasts busiest ports on Monday,
causingthepartial shutdownof several ina
dayof demonstrationstheyhopewill cutin-
to the profits of the corporations that run
the docks.
The closures affected some of the termi-
nals at the ports in Oakland, Calif., Por-
tland, Ore., andLongview, Wash., thoughit
was not immediately clear how much the
shutdowns would affect operations and
what the economic loss wouldbe.
While the demonstrations were largely
peaceful andisolatedtoa fewgates at each
port, local officials in the union that repre-
sents longshoremen and, in some cases,
port officials, determined that the condi-
tions were unsafe for workers.
Themovement, whichsprangupthisfall
against what it sees as corporate greedand
economic inequality, is focusing on the
ports as the economic engines for the
elite inits most dramaticgesturesincepo-
liceraidsclearedoutmostremainingOccu-
py tent camps last month.
It was unclear whether demonstrators
couldamassinsufficient numberstosignif-
icantly disrupt or force more port closures
as they didlast monthduringanovernight
shift at thePort of Oakland. Theunionthat
represents longshoremen says it doesnt
support the shutdowns.
In Oakland, officials urged protesters to
consider theimpact onworkers. Port work-
ers and truck drivers say the protests will
hurt them.
Several hundred people picketed at the
port before dawnandblockedsome trucks
fromgoing through at least two entrances.
Alonglineof bigrigs sat outsideoneof the
entrances, unable todrive intothe port.
This is joke. What are they protesting?
saidChristianVega, 32, whosat inhistruck

burg, Calif., on Monday morning. He said
the delay was costinghim$600.
It only hurts me and the other drivers.
We have jobs and families to support and
feed. Most of themdont, Vega said.
The longshoremens union said 150
workers were sent home.

Protesters block a truck from entering Gate 5 at a picket line at a Port of Portland terminal in Portland, Ore., as part of a
West Coast day of action. Anti-Wall Street protesters along the West Coast joined an effort Monday to blockade some of
the nations busiest docks, with the idea that if they cut off the ports, they cut into corporate profits.

The main storm
track this week
goes from New
Mexico to
Wisconsin, which
means a warm-
ing trend so that
odds favor rain
by Thursday.
Spotty freezing
rain is possible
Thursday morn-
ing, but a rapid
warm-up will
allow for rain.
Only a band of
rain will then be
moving in along
an approaching
cold front. The
front will pass
Thursday night
followed by
more dry weath-
er through the
coming week-
end. Those of us
desiring more
snow are out of
luck this week
and possibly
most of next
week as well.
However, I do
see us having
precipitation
some time next
week, possibly
late in the week.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: A storm system will produce showers and isolated thunderstorms, along with
higher elevation snow showers, from the Southwest into the eastern Great Basin and the southern
Rockies. Rain and scattered thunderstorms will also spread from the southern Plains into the Mid-
Mississippi Valley, with freezing rain possible over portions of Nebraska and Kansas.

Portion size aside, some holiday
favorites start off far worse for
your waistline than others. Its
not uncommon to gain a full
pound or more during the
holiday season, says Gloria
Tsang, a registered dietician and
author of the new book Go
UnDiet. Some swaps to consider:
Crab cake appetizers typically
are made with mayonnaise and
bread crumbs, and fried. Replace
them and items served in puff
pastries with shrimp cocktail.
Candy canes are pure sugar and
wont fill you up. To satisfy a
sweet tooth, choose small
squares of dark chocolate, which
have nutritionally valuable anti-
oxidants.
Eggnog often is packed with
calories and sugar, as are pina
coladas, daiquiris and cocktails
with liqueurs such as Baileys
Irish Cream or Kahlua. Toast
with champagne or hot choco-
late made with low-fat milk.
Spinach and artichoke dip
sounds healthy but is usually
fat-heavy due to mayonnaise,
sour cream and cream cheese.
Serve a vegetable salsa instead.
Croissants and biscuits seem
light and fluffy, but thats thanks
to sugar and butter packed
within their layers of dough. Go
with whole-grain dinner rolls.
Shortbread cookies are crumbly
because of high fat content.
Ginger snaps are generally
healthier.
Cheesecake can pack lots of fat;
while recipes vary, pumpkin pie
tends to be a smarter choice and
also offers fiber and antiox-
idants. Top it with fat-free
whipped cream or whipped
evaporated milk.
Gravy tends to be high in fat,
calories and salt. Make or buy
low-fat versions; one idea is to
dilute cream of chicken soup
look for a low-calorie, low-sodi-
um product with some skim
milk.
Mashed potatoes are high in
carbohydrates, but mashed
cauliflower has a similar texture.
Moisten it with canned chicken
broth instead of butter.

Receives accreditation
The Imaging Department at
Moses Taylor Hospital has been
awarded a three-year term of
accreditation in magnetic reso-
nance imaging (MRI), comput-
ed tomography (CT) and Nucle-
ar Medicine. Moses Taylor has
also received three-year accred-
itation in Mammography and
Stereotactic Breast Biopsy. The
Accreditations are a result of a
recent review by the American
College of Radiology (ACR).
The ACR gold seal of accred-
itation represents the highest
level of image quality and pa-
tient safety. It is awarded only to
facilities meeting ACR practice
guidelines and technical stan-
dards after a peer-review eval-
uation by board-certified physi-
cians and medical physicists
who are experts in the field.
Image quality, personnel qual-
ifications, adequacy of facility
equipment, quality control pro-
cedures, and quality assurance
programs are assessed.
Grants presented
The Wilkes-Barre General
Hospital Auxiliary Fund of The

Q: I just learnedof a
study that showedlower
vitaminDlevels in
people whoare de-
pressed. Doyouthink
that takingvitaminD
helps withdepression?
P.N., Philadelphia
A: Vitamin D, the so-called sunshine
vitamin, is the hottest vitamin under
study these days, with newstudies com-
ing out every month showing howsup-
plemental vitamin Dmay protect against
osteoporosis, heart disease, ovarian can-
cer, colon cancer, kidney cancer, prostate
cancer, Parkinsons disease, multiple
sclerosis, dementia, fatigue, psoriasis,
tuberculosis and colds/flu. Did you ever
consider that colds and flu are worst in
the winter, the time of year when sunlight
and vitamin Dlevels are at their lowest?
Researchers have pointedout that there
are a highamount of vitaminDreceptors
withincertainareas of the brain, andthat
damage tothese areas of the brainthrough
illness anddisease is associatedwithde-
pression.
Theres nodoubt that depressedfolks
tendtostay indoors more, eat less nutri-
tious meals, andbe far less likely totake
vitaminsupplements that containvitamin
D. While several studies have pointedout
the associationbetweenlowvitaminD
levels anda higher incidence of depression,
it is difficult tosay withcertainty that folks
are depressedbecause their vitaminD
levels are lowor that supplementationwith
vitaminDcanimprove ones mood. That
said, weve all felt better after a warmday
full of sunshine.
Q: I hadthyroidcancer11years agothats
nowinremission. Ima 38-year-oldmother
whohas beenconcernedabout the riskof
gettinga secondcancer especially breast
cancer. Howmuchof a greater riskis it
comparedwitha womanmy age thats
never hadcancer?
M.P., Parsippany, N.J.
A: Withinthe first10years after devel-
opingthyroidcancer, theres a slightly
greater riskof developinga secondcancer
of the breast, kidney, Hodgkins lymphoma,
leukemia, salivary gland, headandneck,
lung, esophagus andbladder. But before
youpanic, let me give youa fewresearch
statistics that put things inperspective:
Researchers fromthe University of Utahin
Salt Lake City investigatedthe riskof
non-thyroidsecondnewcancers after
thyroidcancer inmore than30,000pa-
tients diagnosedbetween1973and2002.
They foundthat there were only about 6.5
additional cancers diagnosedper10,000
persons per year. Whenyoulookat a sub-
groupof womeninthe 25-49age group,
there were only four additional cases of
breast cancer per10,000persons per year.
Youhave beeninremissionfor more
than10years. The researchseems toshow
that the increasedriskof developinga
secondcancer is nearly gone after10years.
Tobe onthe side of caution, the experts
recommendthat womenyounger than40
whohave hadthyroidcancer perform
routine monthly self-breast exams, get an
annual breast examby their healthcare
provider andbeginannual screeningmam-
mograms withinthree years of their thy-
roidcancer diagnosis.

Pomegranates
Native to the Middle East,
pomegranates, one of the worlds oldest
fruits, are also among the healthiest.
Pomegranates are an excellent
source of potassium and a good
source of B vitamins, vitamin C,
calcium and phosphorus
Many of the nutrients - and a hefty
dose of fiber - are found in the
seeds and arils, or seed sacs, both
of which can be used to make juice
When buying pomegranates fresh,
pick heavy ones without skin splits
To make juice, cut the crown off the
fruit, break it open, collect the arils
in a bowl, then put the arils and their
seeds through a juicer

hanks to the conveniences of
the wiredworld, Peter Winkler
was able to write a book and
findanagent anda publisher without
ever having to leave his North Holly-
wood, Calif., home.
Winkler raced to produce the first
biography of Dennis Hopper to come
out after the actor died in May 2010.
It was only when the book was on
the shelves that his agent learned
how he had done it.
My God, I had no idea, said Rob-
ert Diforio of Weston, Conn., who
sold Dennis Hopper: The Wild Ride
Sitting up in bed, he can no longer
extend his arms far enough to place
his fingertips on the keyboard of the
MacBook Pro propped on a lap desk
across his thighs.
Instead, he braces the chopstick
between several fingers on his right
hand and uses it to tap, tap, tap one
key after another.
Its not so bad, he says. Hes gotten
pretty fast, andanyway, I was always
a two-finger typist.
Winkler never told his faraway
of a HollywoodRebel toa small East
Coast publisher, Barricade Books.
In the virtual world, Winkler
roams free. He blogs. He comments.
He writes articles about film.
In the physical world, he increas-
ingly is trapped dependent on his
sister and a long, red plastic chop-
stick.
Rheumatoid arthritis has battered
him for 46 of his 55 years.
His neck wont turn. His head is
pitched down, chin to chest. His el-
bow and wrist joints are so fixed in
place, he cannot touch his face.
MCT PHOTOS
Winkler works on his computer from his bed in his North Hollywood, Calif. home. Winker, 55, has limited move-
ment from debilitating rheumatoid arthritis, and is the author of a new biography of actor Dennis Hopper. Be-
cause his fingers cannot reach the keyboard on his computer, he used a chopstick to type all 150,000 words.
Writer Peter Winkler, who has limited movement from debilitating rheumatoid arthritis, uses a chopstick to
type because his fingers cannot reach the keyboard on his computer.

agent about his stiff, bent fingers
and locked joints, he says, be-
cause frankly, it was not his busi-
ness, it was not germane.
What he did say to Diforio in
his first email in February 2010
was that he had credentials
that he had written about film
and had reviewed laserdiscs and
that Val Holley, a biographer of
James Dean, had described him
as a genuine Hollywood histori-
an and that rarity, a James Dean
fan with a triple-digit IQ.
Winkler toldDiforiohe already
knew a great deal about Hopper,
whowas dyingof prostatecancer.
He said he saw a well-timed op-
portunity for a very lively tale.
Hopper, he wrote, has sur-
vived enough personal and pro-
fessional catastrophes to become
a one-man Hollywood Babylon
and his book would be the first
comprehensive, unfiltered, no-
holds-barred look at Hoppers tu-
multuous, talented and troubled
life and 50-year career.
Diforio replied the same day,
drawn by the energetic pitch.
Mental energy has never been
among Winklers deficits.
My mind can be racing so
much sometimes, I have trouble
falling asleep, he says. Ill wake
up after Ive slept for a couple of
hours because Ive got so many
things going through it.
For a long time, he admits, he
did very little. He was deeply de-
pressed, especially as the pace of
the arthritis picked up.
And then I thought, well, my
academic writing was always
good. My grades were excellent.
Maybe I had what it took to be a
writer.
He got himself a laptop. He
pitched a story to a computer
magazine, and it was accepted.
The wired world welcomed him,
without any sidelong stares.
Soon after he sold his first arti-
cle, he started thinking books.
Its like the guy who gets elected
dog catcher and says, Im going
to run for president, he says.
Its hardto researchandwrite a
biography. Its harder still when
youre more or less housebound.
Winkler and his sister, Erica
Marlowe, live in the little house
their late parents bought in the
late 1960s.There, he can move
around with a cane. Anywhere
else, hes in a wheelchair. His left
leg stays stiff and straight. A few
years ago, he fell down and broke
a hip, which required a six-hour
surgery. Falling is always a worry.
Marlowe, 56, works as a special
education teacher at North Hol-
lywoodHighSchool. She devotes
much of her free time to her
brother.
She shops for him. She fills his
prescriptions: for methotrexate,
an immune suppressant, which
exhausts him when he takes it
once a week; for insulin, because
he now has type 2 diabetes and
has toinject himself several times
a day. A while ago, he developed
Sjogrens syndrome, which keeps
his tear ducts from producing
protective, lubricating tears.
Marlowe rubs sterilized petro-
leum jelly around her brothers
eyes to keep them moist.
She brings himfood. She helps
himdress. She buys himsupplies
so he can make contraptions, at-
taching toothbrushes and spong-
es to PVCpipe to reach where his
own limbs now cant.
Shes also his driver. When he
startedonthe book, she took him
to the Academy of Motion Pic-
ture Arts and Sciences Margaret
Herrick Library and helped him
print out microfiche and copy
thick files of clippings collected
over Hoppers long career.
At home, he read through it all
and scoured the Internet for
more. He read just about every
printed word available about
Hopper. He read every word of
Hoppers that made it into print.
He readeverythingthat everyone
who knew Hopper ever said
about him for publication. And
though he never got a response
fromHopper to his request for an
interview, hereachedpeoplewho
had known him and interviewed
them on speakerphone so he
could record and then use the
chopstick to painstakingly tran-
scribe their words.
The book wont make Winkler
rich. He was paid very little. A
modest 3,000 copies were print-
ed, and though its on sale on
Amazon and at Barnes & Noble,
there isnt money for marketing.
Another Hopper bio is coming
out soon, froma major publisher.
Its likely to make more of a
splash.
Still, money and fame were
never the point.

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I am 35
and my husband is
45. When we met, he
weighed 375 pounds.
He has now hit the
600-pound mark. I
have five kids, a full-
time job and go to
school two nights a week. He talks
about losing weight, but its easier to
talk about than actually do. He was in
a car accident that left him with back
problems, and on top of that he has
bad knees from sports.
The future doesnt look promising.
I know that one day hell be confined
to bed I predict in the very near
future and I will have to drop ev-
erything to take care of him. He is al-
ready dependent on me and the older
kids to take care of him because hes
in pain all the time and cant physi-
cally do anything. He doesnt have
insurance.
If I didnt have a family to take
care of, it might not be as big of an
issue. This is very depressing. I am
thinking of seeing a counselor. He
has already told me that he wont
go. Your input would be greatly
appreciated.
Wife of a Big Man
Dear Wife: Talk to a counselor right
away. Unless you do something now,
you will be unemployed and home-
bound with a sick husband and five
dependent children. Who enabled
your helpless husband to gain all the
weight?
His life depends upon him being
on a strict, sensible nutrition regi-
men. Because he has no insurance, a
self-help group could be a lifesaver.
Overeaters Anonymous may be able
to give you some guidance and offer
him emotional support. There are
chapters nationwide, as near as your
phone book, or contact them online
at www.oa.org.
Dear Abby: My boyfriend, Frank,
and I have been together for four
months. Im 21 and hes 31. He was
married before. This is my first seri-
ous relationship.
Sometimes we get into heated
arguments because hes ready to
plan for the future while I just
want to go with the flow. He thinks I
dont take our relationship seriously
because Im not ready to move in
with him, get married or start a fam-
ily yet. When I explain that I would
love for all of that to happen even-
tually Frank says it seems more
like a friendship than a relationship.
That really hurts me, because Im
trying.
These arguments over my lack of
seriousness are killing me. They
started two months into the relation-
ship. I feel pressured. If the pressure
continues, Im feeling like we may not
be able to be together. I need your
advice, please.
Doing the Best I Can in Boston
Dear Doing The Best You Can: You
are a smart young woman with excel-
lent instincts. Trust them. You feel
pressured because you ARE being
pressured. In fact, youre being given
the full-court press.
Pushing for a quick involvement/
commitment is one of the warning
signs of an abuser. Ask yourself,
Whats the rush? Find out the reasons
why his marriage failed. Stand your
ground and dont allow yourself to
be pushed into anything you are not
completely comfortable with. And if
it persists, end the relationship.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Seriously overweight husband presents some big issues for his wife
To receive a collection of Abbys most
memorable and most frequently re-
quested poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus
check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in
Canada) to: Dear Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box
447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage
is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You
refuse to accept that there are
limits to what you can and cant
do. Youd rather see the future
as wide open. Because of this
approach, more is possible for
you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Someone who needs your help
might be too intimidated to ask
for it. Invite questions. Your open
heart will be felt, and others
will dare to depend on you. Of
course, youre the one who will
benefit most in the end.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your
interests will form you. To some
degree, you cant control what
is attractive to you. But you can
keep looking for the very best
of whats available and ask more
questions. Your query could
change everything.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
You see something that others
do not. Its a testament to your
unique spirit. You probably
wont be ready to share your
observations, but you should
record them in some way for
later.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Failing
often and with great style is
the mark of highly successful
people. You do not like to fail,
but you can definitely see the
usefulness in it. Win or lose,
youll help others with your posi-
tive attitude.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You
wont have to restrict yourself,
because you will naturally want
what is good and right for you,
and youll be inclined to take
life in moderate doses. If youre
being unduly inhibited by outside
forces, youll rebel.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Some
kinds of pain happen simply
because youve fallen into a
groove of suffering and have
yet to decide that youve had
enough of it.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). As a
realistic person, you understand
how absolutely unrealistic it is to
want things to be perfect. And
who needs the added pressure?
Youll play it loose.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
You dont feel sorry for yourself,
and you dont like it when others
throw themselves a pity party,
either. Through your actions, you
will train another person to take
charge.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You
will be shedding your skin. And
though its a natural process, it
still takes effort, which you glad-
ly put in, as you are genuinely
excited about the new person
you are becoming.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You
will learn because you cant help
but follow your curiosity and get
answers. You wont worry about
whether a subject is worthy of
your interest.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your
memory will bring back strange
bits of information. Theres a
reason for these seemingly ran-
dom recollections, though you
may not understand it.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Dec. 13). Its
your year to explore a new inter-
est and simultaneously enlarge
your social circle. What happens
in January will fill a void in your
heart. Aries and Taurus people
adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 40, 2, 14, 33 and 19.
