has said he urged CityVest to

mothball, or seal up, the Ster-


ling when he worked on the
project in 2003 so the historic
structure wouldnt continue to
deteriorate while the site was
marketed to developers.
Stephen A. Urban will discuss
the countys past involvement
in the project as a former com-
missioner. County Chief Engi-
county loan to preserve and
market it.
Representatives of the build-
ings nonprofit owner, CityVest,
will be asked to appear for the
work session tentatively sched-
uled for Feb. 21, council agreed.
CityVest, which is governed by
a volunteer board, is out of
money and has asked the coun-
ty to fund demolition.
Also on the list: Wilkes-Barre
architect Carl Handman, who
I just want to err on the side of
caution. I dont want to haphazardly
demolish a piece of our history. It
will destroy the citys skyline.
County councilman Harry Haas
Regarding the Hotel Sterling
A majority of Luzerne Coun-
ty Council is ready to support
the Hotel Sterling demolition,
but a few council members are
still pushing for more informa-
tion.
Council Chairman Jim Bo-
beck sought a straw vote on the
demolition during Tuesdays
work session because the coun-
cil must eventually decide
whether to tear down the struc-
ture.
In addition to Bobeck, the fol-
lowing council members raised
their hands to show agreement
for demolition: Rick Morelli,
Stephen A. Urban, Edward Bro-
minski, Linda McClosky Houck
and Tim McGinley.
Councilman Stephen J. Urban
has also voiced support for
demolition, which means at
least seven of the 11 members
are in agreement.
However, council members
Harry Haas, Elaine Maddon
Curry and Rick Williams said
they want more discussion be-
fore they are ready to commit
to a position.
Council members agreed
Tuesday to invite some key
players in the project to an up-
coming public work session to
piece together why the down-
town Wilkes-Barre landmark
cant be saved after a $6 million
Council set to OK hotel demolition
Some members want more
discussion and information
before deciding Sterlings fate.

Business school

Gov. Tom Corbetts education
budget proposal offered a mixed
bag for Luzerne County:
School districts would see
the main piece of state money in-
crease by anywhere from 0.9 to
3.5 percent, but the switch
comes with a change in how the
money is doled out a move that
could reward the most efficient
districts, particularly when it
comes to transportation
of students.
Luzerne County
Head Start is not only
facing a 5 percent cut in
funding for its preschool
program under the pro-
posal, but those cuts are
also expected to hit be-
fore any state budget
takes effect July 1, Executive Di-
rector Lynn Biga said.
Luzerne County Communi-
ty College would lose about
$400,000 in state money if Cor-
betts 3.8 percent cut in commu-
nity college funding is enacted
and evenly distributed, Presi-
dent Thomas Leary said. But he
added that LCCC is poised to
take advantage of the governors
proposal to put more money into
programs that quickly train and
certify students in high-demand
occupations.
And while state subsidies
make up only a small part of total
budgets for high school career
and technology centers, West
Side CTC Administrative Direc-
tor Nancy Tkatch said the mon-
ey about $7,000 more for that
school is almost secondary to
the governors renewed empha-
sis on the potential of such cen-
ters.
Overall spending flat
Overall, the proposal keeps
education spending for public
schools fairly flat. There are no
increases for special education,
or for what has long
been dubbed Basic
Education Funding.
But Corbett added a
new wrinkle, combin-
ing basic education
money with state sub-
sidies for student trans-
portation and Social
Security fund pay-
ments the state and school dis-
tricts split the cost of Social Se-
curity and pension funds. He
calls this new lump of money the
Student Achievement Educa-
tion Block Grant.
For some school business ad-
ministrators who didnt have
time to scrutinize the governors
proposals Tuesday, this move
made little sense on the surface.
Why? Wilkes-Barre Area Busi-
ness Manager Leonard Przywara
asked. Whats the purpose of
combining all these items?

a murder for at least several
months, while they publicly left

showed that police were investi-

first-degree murder, kidnapping

WASHINGTONAresurgent
Rick Santorum won Minnesotas
Republican caucuses with ease
Tuesday night, relegating front-
runner Mitt Romney to a distant
third-place finish that raised fresh
questions about his ability to at-
tract ardent conservatives at the
core of the GOPpolitical base.
Santorum was victorious, as
well, inanonbindingMissouri pri-
mary that
was worth
bragging
rightsbut no
delegates.
A jubilant
Santorum
declared to
cheering
supporters in St. Joseph, Mo.:
Conservatismis alive and well in
Missouri and Minnesota!
Colorado held caucuses, too.
Thefirst fewhundredvotestallied
trended Santorums way, but the
count lagged well behind Minne-
sotas.
Returnsfrom42percent of Min-
nesotas precincts showed Santo-
rumwith46percent support, Paul
with 27 percent and Romney
who won the state in his first try
for the nomination four years ago
with16percent. Former House
Speaker Newt Gingrich trailed
with11percent.
Romney prevailed in both Min-
nesota and Colorado in 2008, the
first time he ran for the nomina-
tion, but the GOP has become
more conservative in both states
since then under the influence of
tea party activists.
There were 37 Republican Na-
tional Convention delegates at
stakeinMinnesotaand33morein
Colorado, and together, they ac-
counted for the largest one-day
combined total so far in the race
for the GOPnomination.
Minnesotas victory was the
first for Santorum since he eked
out a34-votewininthelead-off Io-
wa caucuses a month ago.
Hehadfadedfarfromtheleadin
the primaries and caucuses since,
and Gingrich seemed to eclipse
himas the leadingconservative ri-
val to Romney when he won the
South Carolina primary late last
month.
Santorum, a former Pennsylva-
nia senator, campaigned aggres-
sively in all three states, seeking a
breakthrough to revitalize a cam-
paign that had struggled since Io-
wa.
He won Minnesota largely the
way he did Iowa, dispatching his
organizers from the first state to
the second and courting pastors
and tea party leaders alike.
Paul, a Texas lawmaker, has yet
to win a primary or caucus. He ar-
rivedat a caucus site inCoonRap-
ids, Minn., in early evening to
shake hands with early arrivers
and had to squeeze his way
through a crowd of autograph
seekers.
Romneybeganthedaythelead-
er in the delegate chase, with 101
of the1,144 needed to capture the
nomination at the Republican Na-
tional Convention this summer in
Tampa. Gingrich had 32, Santo-
rum17 and Paul nine.
Television advertising was
sparse; neither Colorado nor Min-
nesota hosted a candidates de-
bate, andtherewas relativelylittle
campaigning.

SCRANTON A Larksville
manwhoadmittedtoinjectinghis
semen into yogurt of two former
co-workers was sentenced Tues-
day to two years infederal prison.
Joseph Bartorillo, 60, pleaded
guilty in November to tampering
with a food product. Federal pros-
ecutors said Bartorillo used a syr-
inge to inject semen into yogurt
containers of co-workers at the
Procter &Gamble plant near Me-
hoopany, Wyoming County, at
least 13 times between October
2009 andMay 2011.
The sentence, imposed by U.S.
District Judge Richard Conaboy,
was negotiated as part of the plea
agreement Bartorillo worked out
with federal prosecutors after his
arrest in October. He must report
by March 5 to begin serving the
sentence.
Bartorillos attorney, Demetri-
us Fannick, said Bartorillo apol-
ogized to his family and the vic-
tims at thesentencing, but didnot
offer anyexplanationas towhyhe
committedthe crime.
He had nothing against the
women. He didnt even really
knowthem,Fannicksaid. Thats
the odd thing about this case: try-
ing to determine what caused a
60-year-old man who never did
anything wrong in his life to do
this bizarre type behavior.
Fannick said the victims were
present at thehearing, but didnot
speak. HesaidBartorilloisremor-
seful and has undergone counsel-
ing since his arrest.
In addition to the prison sen-
tence, Bartorillo was ordered to
payabout a$1,000fineand$3,647
in restitution to the state police
crime lab, which tested the yo-
gurt.
Fannick said Conaboy was
clearlydisturbedbythecrimeand
initially expressed reluctance to
accept the plea.
The judge repeatedly said this
was the most despicable act he
hadever seenandthat hewasvery
disturbed by it. He felt there was
sufficient reason for the binding
plea agreement andit was reason-
able under the facts given, he
said.
Bartorillo still faces other
charges related to the crime filed
by prosecutors Wyoming County.
Fannick said he is currently work-
ing on a plea agreement to that
case and hopes any prison sen-
tence imposed will run concur-
rently to the federal prisonterm.

WILKES-BARRE A pre-
liminary hearing is sched-
uled Thursday for a man ac-
cused by city police of rob-
bing a taxi driver with a
knife, his second robbery of-
fense in Wilkes-Barre in 16
months, court records say.
Police allege
Christopher Mar-
vin Miller, 23, of
Lehigh Street,
held a knife to the
throat of a Burgit
City Taxi driver in
the area of Brooke
and Regent streets
on Nov. 30.
Miller got away
with a small
amount of cash,
police said.
He was ar-
raigned over the weekend on
two counts of robbery, and
one count each of simple as-
sault and theft. He remained
jailed at the Luzerne County
Correctional Facility for
lack of $75,000 bail.
In an unrelated robbery
case, police allege Miller en-
tered the Pantry Quik on Ca-
rey Avenue and asked a clerk
for a pen and paper on Aug.
12, 2010.
He allegedly wrote a
threatening note in front of
the clerk demanding money
or he was going to shoot
him.
A second clerk allegedly
saw a knife under Millers
shirt, arrest records indi-
cate.
Miller is facing charges of
robbery, simple assault and
terroristic threats in county
court.
According to the
latest criminal com-
plaint:
A Burgit City Taxi
driver picked up Mill-
er on Lehigh Street
and was instructed to
pick up a second per-
son on Lee Park Ave-
nue in Hanover
Township.
When the cab reac-
hed Brooke and Re-
gent streets, the driv-
er said, Miller held a
knife to his throat and de-
manded money.
Miller stayed in the cab
while the driver accelerated
to keep him in the vehicle.
Miller fled the cab when
the driver had to slow down
in the area of Oxford and Re-
gent streets in Hanover
Township, the complaint
says.
Police said Miller lost
both shoes and dropped the
knife when he fled.
He also allegedly left be-
hind a cellphone in the taxi.

DALLAS TWP. - The supervi-
sors told residents Tuesday the
Williams Gas Co. will be replac-
ing part of the Transco interstate
natural gas pipeline this spring.
Officials received a notice that
Williams will be replacing ap-
proximately 1,844 feet of the 24-
inchLeidy Apipeline, whichruns
near and around Hildebrandt
Road. The project is located on
.42 acres of wetlands.
Supervisor Liz Martin said she
isnt aware of any other project
details and that the supervisors
have questions
for the company.
Supervisors do
not expect the
project to hinder
traffic on Hilde-
brandt Road.
Officials also
received a state
Department of
Environmental
Protection notifi-
cation that Chief
Gathering LLC is
amending its ap-
plication for the
30-mile Wyom-
ing Natural Gas
Pipeline.
Supervisor Bill
Grant said Wil-
liams sent the township an email
addressing Sedlar Lane cleanup
issues. It said though pipeline
work was finished Jan. 6, work is
not finished in remedying right-
of-way areas.
The email said the right-of-
way, including Sedlar Lane, has
been seeded and mulched in
preparation for winter weather.
Williams must still comply with
erosion and sedimentation con-
trols.
Williams will plant vegetation
inthe springtocomply withstate
and township requirements.
The board approved an update
to the township Emergency Op-
erations Plan and agreed to up-
date the plan every two years.
Also, the board agreed to
change its monthly meeting
schedule starting in March. The
dates and times will remain the
same, but instead of two meet-
ings in which official votes can be
taken, the first Tuesday of the
month will act as a work session
in which all parties of the town-
ship and residents can discuss is-
sues before action is taken.
The second meeting of the
month, on the third Tuesday, will
be a formal meeting during
which the board will take action.
The board announced Grant
will not accept the $2,500 a year
stipend he would receive for be-
ing a supervisor.

WHAT S
NEXT
EXETER Borough council
Tuesday night adopted a $500
business privilege and mercan-
tile tax to be assessed on all busi-
nesses within the borough that
gross more than $500,000 each
year.
The vote was unanimous. The
borough will also advertise for
collection agencies to determine
what businesses are at or over
the $500,000 threshold.
That agency can then go about
collecting the tax for the bor-
ough.
Any taxes collected during
2012 will be held in escrow until
a state court can determine the
legality of the tax. Borough offi-
cials expressed confidence the
measure will be upheld, but they
are remaining cautious.
Resident and business owner
Lindo Sabatini, of Sabatinis Piz-
za, was skeptical as to how effec-
tively the tax will be collected.
He cited two existing ordinanc-
es, one governing the collection
of taxes on amusement ma-
chines and another that governs
taxes on amusement facilities, as
examples of where such enforce-
ment is lax.
His comments prompted
Councilman Larry Dellegrotto,
who sits on the newly formed fi-
nance committee, to pledge to
investigate the matter further.
Initially, the mercantile and
business privilege tax was
planned to be $12,500 on any
business earning above
$500,000. Councilman Joseph
Esposito explained, however,
that complications and gray ar-
eas in that ordinance prompted
the borough to reconsider and
lower the amount.
Esposito added that other
cost-saving measures are being
considered, but he refrained
from going into specifics after
the meeting.
Dellegrotto pointed out coun-
cil will now be heavily scrutiniz-
ing detailed information collect-
ed from frequent department
line item budgets, but that a
great deal of belt tightening
will be needed in order for Exe-
ters financial prospects to turn
around.
He anticipates that, by the end
of 2012, the borough could be be-
tween $150,000 and $200,000 in
debt.
That figure could fluctuate de-
pending on tax payments re-
ceived from 2011 and profits
from the possible sales of land
owned by the municipality.
When questioned by resident
Joe McCabe on how such a debt
could have accumulated, Coun-
cilman John Morgan pointed to
flooding problems from sewer
main breaks, excessive rains
pouring into the Hicks Creek
Watershed and the difficulties
experienced by the borough dur-
ing the September flooding from
Tropical Storm Lee.

DALLAS TWP.
Leaks to be fixed Feb. 20
Several water leaks at the 5-month-
old Dallas High School will be fixed
over the Presidents Day holiday, Dal-
las Superintendent Frank Galicki said
Tuesday.
The $38 million
school, which opened
in September, has had
water leaks in the
heating system over
the past few weeks.
Galicki said he and
the construction man-
ager, Bob Nesbitt of
Crabtree Rohrbaugh Associate Archi-
tects of Mechanicsburg, as well as the
custodian and maintenance staff of the
high school, did a walk-around recently
to survey the leaks.
Galicki said they identified several
areas that needed repairs, and decided
to make the repairs on Feb. 20.
Galicki said the repairs require shut-
ting off heating and other systems to
make the repairs, which can be more
easily done when the building is va-
cant.
HAZLE TWP.
Judge Stevens to speak
The redistricting controversy and an
update on the activities of the state
Superior Court will be discussed when
Superior Court President Judge Cor-
reale Stevens addresses the Rotary
Club at noon today at Genettis Best
Western in Hazle
Township.
There are several
community sessions
of the Superior Court
scheduled for 2012,
representing our
effort to give the
public an opportunity
to see actual court
cases being argued on the appellate
level, Stevens noted.
While I will not be offering com-
mentary on the reapportionment con-
troversy, I will give a summary of
where the process is at this point in

Pennsylvania moved a step closer to
imposing a fee on drilling for gas in the
Marcellus Shale on Tuesday when the
state Senate voted in favor of establish-
ing local impact fees on drilling. But
state senators from both parties repre-
senting Luzerne County indicated
Tuesday the measure may be a step in
the wrong direction.
The state Senate voted 31-19 in favor
of fees that could raise $180 million
from the gas industry in the first year
while expanding regulations, including
a requirement for online disclosure of
chemicals used in hydrau-
lic fracturing. The mea-
sure, which could pass the
House on Tuesday night,
would fund road work and
environmental cleanups
and give local govern-
ments the power to impose the fees on
their local wells.
Luzerne Countyhas noactive Marcel-
lus Shale wells, so the county would not
at present have the option of imposing a
fee.
Three of the four senators represent-
ing the county: John Yudichak, Lisa
Baker and John Blake, voted against the
bill. John Gordner, R-Berwick, voted in
favor.
Yudichak, D-Plymouth Township,
said the imposition and distribution of
the fees ona county level is unpreceden-
ted and unjust and will make budgeting
difficult.
The central provision in the bill is
that counties and only counties where
drilling is occurring will decide wheth-
er theres an impact fee, Yudichak said.
As a result of that, any projection on
revenue, any projection on generating
revenue for environmental protection
or infrastructure, theyre all skewed be-
causeyoudont knowwhether thecoun-
tys going to impose the fee.
He also criticized the reduction of
municipal zoning authority enacted by
the bill that would make drilling a per-
mitted use in all zoning districts and es-
tablish uniform minimum setback dis-
tances for wells and other gas-industry
infrastructure.
Baker, R-Lehman Township, broke
the Republican Party line in voting
against the bill.
She said the bills aim was to reach
agreement onprovisions that wouldsuf-
ficiently satisfy serious concerns that

WILKES-BARRE A Kingston wom-
an charged in a deadly hit-and-run in
June will participate in the countys Day
Reporting Center until the time of her
July trial, a county judge said Tuesday.
Judge William Amesbury said Karen
McCann will begin reporting to the
county-run program today. She was re-
leased from prison in January when her
bail was posted.
Deputy District At-
torney Alexis Falvello
expressed concern at
Tuesdays pre-trial
hearing because she
wasnt aware if
McCann had employ-
ment, one of the condi-
tions of her bail.
Amesbury said he
felt it would be best for
McCann to take part in
the program so that
she receives assistance
in obtaining a job, is
routinely drug and al-
cohol tested and be-
gins to participate in
rehabilitation.
If you (test positive
for drugs or alcohol), I
will revoke your bail, Amesbury said. I
will incarcerate you.
McCann, 33, represented by attorney
Pete Moses, faces homicide by motor ve-
hicle and other charges in the June 30
death of 64-year-old Aloysius McLaugh-
lin.
According to police, on June 30
McCann was driving a Chevrolet Trail-
blazer that struck and killed McLaugh-
lin, a landscaper working in front of a
home at 173 Third Ave., Kingston.
Prosecutors said McCann had cocaine
and prescription medications in her sys-
tem at the time of the incident.

BERWICKAShickshinny manwas
arrested Tuesday on charges he
slashed a mans throat at a scrap yard
more than a year ago.
Berwick police and the state Office
of Attorney Generals office charged
KimNeil Roquet Jr., 39, of Indian Cave
Road, withcriminal attempt tocommit
murder, aggravated assault and rob-
bery.
Roquet was arraigned by District
Judge Richard W. Knecht in Berwick
andjailedat theColumbiaCountyPris-
on.
Roquet was identi-
fied after police on
Jan. 24 released a
composite sketchof a
man wanted in the
slashing at Deckers
Scrap Yard on Canal
Street on Jan. 8, 2011.
Within days of the
sketch being released, police received
three phone calls indicating the man
resembled Roquet.
According to the criminal com-
plaint:
Bernardo DiGirolamo, an employee
at the scrap yard, told police he was be-
ginning a sales transaction with the
suspect, whom he later identified as
Roquet from a photo array, when he
was attacked frombehind with a knife.
Police said DiGirolamo was beaten
with a baseball bat after his throat was
slashed.
DiGirolamo defended himself and
bit the suspects hand.
Attorney General Linda Kelly stated
in a news release that DiGirolamo suf-
fered life-threatening injuries, includ-
ing a skull fracture, neck lacerations
causing injury to the jugular vein and
bone fractures to the face and wrists.
DiGirolamowas treatedat Geisinger
Medical Center in Danville.
While he was recovering fromthe at-
tack, DiGirolamo told police he be-
lieved the suspect was an electrician
and was operating a company van. He
said the suspect had sold copper at the
scrap yard several times before the day
of the assault.
Senior Deputy Attorney General An-
thony Forray is prosecuting.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled
on Feb. 17 before Knecht.

WILKES-BARRE Councilman To-
ny George wants to have a piece of the
Old River Road property sold separate-
ly to allowa neighboring property own-
er to submit a bid.
George asked for the consideration
during Tuesday nights council work
session. Assistant City Attorney Bill
Vinsko said bids on the whole parcel are
due by Feb. 15 and council could vote to
sell the property anytime after Feb. 23.
He said it would be up to council and
Mayor Tom Leighton to agree on sell-
ing a part of the entire parcel.
Tyler Hammond, who has filed a law-
suit against the city regarding the for-
mer Old River Road Bakery building,
asked council at its January meeting
why a portion of the property cant be
sold separately from the larger parcel
where the bakery sits.
Hammond said there are three par-
cels to the property that were always
listed separately, but are now being
treated as one. Hammond and his wife
want to buy a strip of property behind
their home where Mrs. Hammondhada
garden.
The property was taken off the Sept.
22 county tax sale and listed for public
sale after the county, city and Wilkes-
Barre Area School District agreed to
put it out for bid, even though the city
still owes $13,054 to the county in back
taxes.
Vinsko said in September the city
would carry the balance until the prop-
erty is sold, at which time it would pay
the county. He said an earlier deal to
sell the building for $38,000 to Leo A.
Glodzik, owner of LAG Towing the
citys towing contractor was terminat-
ed during the summer.
The court has ruled the property
must be soldwithinsixmonths or it will
be put on the countys upset sale in
March.
In other business:
Council will vote Thursday to enter
into an agreement with PennDOT to
modify the existing traffic signal at East
Northampton and Empire/Hillside
streets. The modifications would be
done at no cost to the city.
The city wants to refinance a $7
million bond issue because of favorable
interest rates. Marie McCormick, ad-
ministrator, said $1.4 million would be
used for the Coal Street road project
and for the Streetscape 5 project that
would replace the sidewalks on Public
Square from Rodanos to North Main
Street.
Councilman wants piece of Old River Road Bakery property sold separately
City Council meets Thursday at 6 p.m. in
council chambers, 4th floor, City Hall.
Public comment is welcome.

a vending machine installed at the
request of the student government.
The Etter Health Center at Ship-

Patrimonio said up to 92 people were

Last-known WWI vet dies
Florence Green, the worlds last

at the age of 110, the care home where
she lived said Tuesday.
Briar House Care Home in Kings
Lynn, England, said Green died Sat-
urday, two weeks before her 111th birth-
day.
Born Florence Beatrice Patterson in
London on Feb. 19, 1901, she joined the
Womens Royal Air Force in September
1918 at the age of 17.
She went to work as a waitress in the
officers mess at RAF Marham in east-
ern England, and was serving there
when the war ended in November 1918.
Green remembered her wartime
service with affection.
LOS ANGELES
Gibson unlikely to testify
A civil jury will likely not hear direct-
ly from Mel Gibson about the night of
his drunken driving arrest because his
testimony doesnt appear relevant to a
deputys claim that he was discrimi-
nated against because of the traffic
stop, a judge said Tuesday.
In a series of tentative rulings, Supe-
rior Court Judge Barbara Scheper said
she will likely block attorneys for Dep-
uty James Mee from showing the jury a
video of Gibson being booked into jail
and a 30-second TV ad he made sup-
porting the Sheriffs Department three
years before his arrest.
Mee, who is Jewish, claims he suf-
fered religious discrimination by supe-
riors after arresting Gibson in 2006,
and he was ordered to remove the
actor-directors anti-Semitic rants from
a report.
He claims he was passed over for
promotions and suffered other reprisals
because of the case and he was person-
ally offended by Gibsons remarks.

HARRISBURG Prosecutors asked
Tuesday to have Jerry Sandusky kept
indoors as part of his bail conditions,
citing complaints that the former Penn
State football assistant was seen out-
side and watching children in a school-
yard from the back porch of his home,
where he remains under house arrest
while awaiting trial on child molesta-
tion charges.
The state attorney generals office ar-
gued in a court filing that Sanduskys
bail conditions should be revised so
that he is not allowed outside except to
seek medical treatment. Prosecutors
said they opposed Sanduskys request
to be allowed contact with his grand-
children as he awaits trial on 52 child
sex-abuse charges.
The allegation he was watching chil-
dren was outlined in an exhibit at-
tached to the filing, a memo from a
state investigator to a county probation
officer that said a teacher and intern
had reported concern for the childrens
safety.
They advised the neighbor that yes-
terday they had the children outside for
recess as it was a warmer day, and that
they both witnessed Mr. Sandusky on
his rear house deck watching the chil-
dren play, wrote investigator Anthony
Sassano on Jan. 26.
Sanduskys lawyer, Joe Amendola,
did not immediately respond to the lat-
est prosecution filing.
It said Sanduskys sons ex-wife
strenuously objects to her three mi-
nor children having any contact with
him, and that prosecutors believe Sand-
usky was fortunate to be granted bail.
That court document, and several
motions filed late Monday by Sandus-
kys lawyer, come ahead of a court hear-
ing Friday regarding his bail modifica-
tion request.
Sandusky, 68, a former longtime de-
fensive coordinator for Penn States
football team, has maintained he is in-
nocent of the allegations, which claim
he engaged in a range of illegal acts
with boys over 15 years, from touching
their legs to subjecting them to violent
sexual assault.
As Sanduskys lawyers prepare for
trial, they have asked a judge for copies
of secret grand jury testimony, the
phone numbers of his accusers and oth-
er material.

ROMEPriests whorape and
molest children lie when con-
fronted with an accusation but
victims usually tell the truth, psy-
chologists told Catholic bishops
at a symposium Tuesday, advis-
ing them to listen first to the vic-
tims.
The message came during a
Vatican-backed meeting on cleri-
cal sex abuse that aimed to help
bishops draft and enforce tough
policies to protect children and
root out pedophiles from the
priesthood. Priests and bishops
fromabout 100 countries were at-
tending the four-day symposium
at Romes Pontifical Gregorian
University ahead of a May dead-
line todeliver their sexabuse pol-
icies to the Vatican.
Survivors of clerical abuse
have long said that once they
summoned the courage to de-
nounce their abusers to church
leaders, Catholic bishops often
dismissed their accusations and
instead accepted the word of
their priests, whom bishops con-
sider their brothers and sons in
the priesthood.
Monsignor Stephen Rossetti, a
psychologist who for a decade
ran a U.S. treatment center for
abusive priests, told the confer-
ence Tuesday that just like alco-
holics or drug addicts, sexually
abusive priests often lie when
confronted with allegations.
They manipulate, they con, they
deny, he said.
There are false allegations to
be sure and its critical to restore
a priests good name when he has
been cleared, Rossetti said in his
prepared remarks. But decades
of experience tell us that the vast
majority of allegations over 95
percent are founded.

tions.
Republican presidential can-
didates pounced on what they
considered a blunder by Presi-
dent Barack Obama. They be-
lieve his administrations rul-
ing will alienate moderate Ca-
tholic voters who could prove
crucial in November in Ohio,
Pennsylvania and elsewhere.
There also could be political
repercussions from the Susan
G. Komen for the Cure contro-
versy. The breast-cancer char-
ity, facing fierce criticism,
mostly from womens groups,
quickly overturnedits decision
last week to cut off funding to
Planned Parenthood. Planned
Parenthoodis a major provider
of abortions, but it also screens
women for breast cancer and
other health problems.
In Atlanta, Karen Handel, a
Komen vice president who
played a role in the fund cutoff
decision, resigned Tuesday. A

from Damascus, Tuesday, as did six Gulf
nations, including Saudi Arabia. Germa-
ny, whose envoy left the country this
month, said he would not be replaced.
Turkey, once a strong Assad supporter
and now one of his most vocal critics,
added its voice to the condemnation.
It reflects a growing movement by the
U.S., Europe and countries in the region
to organize a coalition of nations to back
Syrias opposition, though what kind of
support remains unclear.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lav-
rov flew into Damascus on Tuesday, ac-
companied by his foreign security chief,
to try to boost a plan that would keep As-
sad in power, even though many promi-
nent members of the opposition reject
that entirely.
Tuesdays visit by Lavrov and intelli-
gence chief Mikhail Fradkov was evi-
dence that Russia does not want to be
seen as giving Assad a free hand to crush
his opponents in the wake of Saturdays
veto at the U.N. Security Council.

CELEBRATING DECISION ON GAY MARRIAGE BAN
AP PHOTO/SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE, LEA SUZUKI
S
upporters of gay marriage react outside the James R. Browning U.S. Courthouse after a federal appeals
court declared Californias ban on same-sex marriage, Proposition 8, unconstitutional on Tuesday in San
Francisco. A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals gave gay marriage opponents time to
appeal the 2-1 decision before ordering the state to allow same-sex weddings to resume. The decision puts the
bitterly contested, voter-approved law on track for likely consideration by the U.S. Supreme Court.

FAIRVIEW TWP. Resident
Attilio Panzitta on Monday night
told township supervisors about
a drainage problemthat has been
flooding his property since last
spring.
Panzitta saidthe property adja-
cent to his home along Wood-
crest Avenue in Mountain Top
was torn down by a real estate
firm and, after the basement was
filled in with mine rock, replaced
with another house.
According to Panzitta, a spring
below the demolished homes
basement was not covered prop-
erly and now orange water drifts
over to pool in his front lawn.
He asked the supervisors to
back himon remedying the prob-
lem.
I want to get my land back,
Panzitta said. I want to mowmy
lawn without
sinking and re-
store the value
of my proper-
ty.
Supervisor
Chairman Rob-
ert Orloski,
who by trade is
a homebuilder,
said mine rock
may not have been the best
choice of backfill.
He said it is too porous and wa-
ter seeps out easily.
After an initial inspection, the
state Department of Environ-
mental Protection required the
property owner to remove the
mine rock; however, water con-
tinues to seep onto Panzittas
property andmaintains its sulfur-
ic tint.
Panzitta saidthat witha pump,
the water couldbe divertedintoa
stream nearby.
He said that was a solution
used to prevent flooding in the
past.
He said he wanted the real es-
tate firm to fix the problem.
(The firm) bought the house;
(the firm) bought the problem,
Panzitta said.
He saida DEPinspector was to
go to his home Tuesday for more
water samples.
He seemed unsure that the
township supervisors would do
much to aid his plight but said he
hoped Harrisburg might help get
the water off his lawn.

DORRANCETWP. It was an-
nounced at Monday nights meet-
ing of the board of supervisors
that a section of Blue Ridge Trail,
state Route 3007, will be closed
for bridge repair work that is
scheduled to commence on Feb.
15.
The bridge is located at the
bottom of a hill near the former
Rustic Tavern Restaurant and
will remain closed to traffic while
the Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation makes repairs to
the roadway and bridge struc-
ture.
It was also stated that Penn-
DOT has issued an edict that the
township is responsible for clean-
ing and reopening a storm drain
on St. Marys Road that the state
claims may have been illegally
blocked. PennDOT threatened
legal action under the provisions
of state Highway Law1945 if the
township doesnt act.
Besides these issues, the su-
pervisors were
informed by
Alan Snelson,
zoning officer,
that he is in the
process of pro-
viding more
documentation
to District
Judge Ronald
Swank in regard to the case in-
volving the proposed project to
establish a propane storage site
by the Button Oil Co. near the
Dorrance interchange of I-81.
On Jan. 19, Swank conducted a
hearing on allegations submitted
by Snelson in which he contend-
ed Button has failed to abide by
prevailing township code.
Swank has stated, pending ad-
ditional information from Snel-
son, he will issue a ruling by mid-
February. Inconjunctionwiththe
case, the supervisors on Jan. 3
granted Button a 60-day exten-
sionona landdevelopment appli-
cation submitted by attorney
Jack Dean on behalf of Edward
and Sandra Button.
In addition, the supervisors en-
dorsed a project by the Dorrance
Township Fire Department and
emergency service personnel to
sell reflective numeral address
markers to property owners in
the township.
Jeff Engler said the project is
designed to provide improved
identification for emergency re-
sponders. He said the cost is $15
for a sign; $20 for a sign and post.
They also approved youth
baseball, lacrosse and soccer ac-
tivities at township-owned facil-
ities starting in March and con-
tinuing through October and vot-
ed unanimously to retain Joe Zu-
rawski, Gwen Sakowski, Mike
Navin, Bill Jones and Ben Os-
trowski as fire police.

BEAR CREEK TWP. -- Saying
that they dont intend to ignore
the court order but wont saddle
residents with what could be the
highest sewage rates in the state,
townshipsupervisors votedMon-
day against adopting an Act 537
sewage treatment plan.
The cost of the $14 million sys-
temcanonlybeleviedagainst the
homes that will be connected to
it, and only 500 homes will be
part of the project, board Chair-
man Gary Zingaretti said. Esti-
mates place the cost per house-
holdat $91.50 per month, inaddi-
tion to the fees and costs resi-
dents will pay to connect and
hook up to the system.
Zingaretti said he researched
the sewage rates for more than60
municipalities in the common-
wealth and determined that the
average rate is about $41 per
month.
The projectedrate here would
be two and a quarter times the
state average, even with grant
money, he said. We as a board
are100 percent committed to sat-
isfying the (Department of Envi-
ronmental Protection) order, but
its a flaw in the system that you
have to submit the plan before
you can secure funding, Zinga-
retti said.
The other supervisors, who
risk personal legal consequences
including fines if they do not pass
the sewage plan, agreed the cost
is an unacceptable burden to tax-
payers and voiced various con-
cerns.
Weve all worked on this in
good faith, said Joseph Masi,
but the bottom line is it will put
almost $300 a quarter plus any-
where between $4,000 and
$7,000 in construction costs on
the residents, and I cant sign our
residents up for that.
Jim Smith said the situation
could have been mitigated if pre-
vious boards would have acted
when costs were lower.
Imnot going to ignore the re-
sponsibility to put in this system
and I wont pass on even higher
costs to my children by not doing
this, Smith said, but the fund-
ing formula that exists from the
state is inadequate and DEP isnt
concerned with the end cost to
residents.
Jeff Popple, the lone board
member whovotedinfavor of the
plan, agreed the cost is unaccept-
able but said the board cant stop
what is coming.
Ninety-one dollars is an ugly
number, but the reality is this is
coming, Popple said. But its
not coming tomorrow, and this
board needs to put our heads to-
gether and find some other ave-
nues of funding to offset the con-
struction debt. We have time to
be creative.
The supervisors stressed they
arenot standingagainst thecourt
mandate to install the sewers, on-
lythecost. Immediatelyafter vot-
ing down the Act 537 plan, they
unanimously approved a motion
to meet with state legislators,
DEP and other agencies to dis-
cuss funding options and the un-
acceptably high sewage rates.
Solicitor William Vinsko said
the board is under order to pass
the Act 537 plan as soon as pos-
sible and they were hoping to be
able to do so withinthe first quar-
ter of the year. Civil fines couldbe
assessed against the individual
boardmembers, withpenalties at
the discretion of the court, Vin-
sko said, but he was optimistic
that could be avoided.
Im confident we can work
this out with DEP, he said.
BEAR CREEK TOWNSHI P
Citing high cost, supervisors vote against sewage treatment plan
By JANINE UNGVARSKY
Times Leader Correspondent
The next supervisors meeting will
be Monday, March 5.
WHAT S NEXT people expressed.
After all the time I have
spent speaking with local offi-
cials, landowners, environmen-
talists and anyone else with a
point of view on the issue, I am
not certain these issues have
been sufficiently addressed,
Baker said.
Gordner, who represents the
Conyngham area as part of his
six county district, voted in fa-
vor of the bill, saying it repre-
sents a balanced approach to
take advantage of the opportu-
nities of a new industry while
protecting our environment
and our local way of life in the
Marcellus Region.
Tom Jiunta, founder of local
environmental-awareness
group the Gas Drilling Aware-
ness Coalition, said his organi-
zation opposed the fee and let
legislators know it.
We flooded Harrisburg with
phone calls, Jiunta said. I
know they got thousands of
phone calls in the last couple of
days asking them to go back to
the drawing board with this,
and they just ignored people.
Jiunta said the impact fees
would at best account for a 1
percent tax on drilling, signifi-
cantly less than the 5 or 6 per-
cent taxes leviedinneighboring
states, that they wont ade-
quately reimburse Luzerne
County for the impacts of pipe-
line development and of trucks
on the roads, and that it would
reverse the hard work that mu-
nicipalities in the Back Moun-
tain have put into updating
their zoning codes to account
for drilling.
We have trucks damaging
our infrastructure; we have
compressor stations; we have
pipelines, Jiunta said. These
are going to affect the health
and welfare of Luzerne County
andwe wont see any of the ben-
efits of it, and at the same time
some of the work in Luzerne
County thats been done; youre
not going to see any impact
from it now.

charges in the case.
I think when I talk about it as
a missing persons case, thats be-
cause we havent located the
body of Susan Powell, Gill said.
Do we think that she may have
met harm? Sure.
Investigators are now reas-
sessing the case after her hus-
band and person of interest in
her 2009disappearance, JoshPo-
well, torchedhis homethis week-
end, killinghimself andtheir two
young children.
ABC News obtained what it
says was a voicemail Josh Powell
left for his family members. In it,
Powell said he couldnt live with-
out the boys and didnt want to
go on anymore.
In the recording played Tues-
day on Good Morning Ameri-
ca, Powell also said he was call-
ing to say goodbye and apol-
ogize.
Im sorry to everyone Ive
hurt, he is heard saying. Good-
bye.
An autopsy showed the chil-
dren also suffered hatchet
wounds to their necks.
As authorities work to deter-
mine exactly why Powell com-
mitted the murders at the Wash-
ington residence, investigators
said theyre no closer to answer-
ing the question theyve had for
two years.
We still havent identified or
found where Susan Powell is,
said West Valley, Utah, Police
Chief Buzz Nielsen, who is in
charge of the investigation into
the young mothers disappear-
ance.
The father of the 5- and 7-year-
old boys painted himself as a
tortured man, ridiculed without
reason in the disappearance of
his wife, steadfastly insisting he
was innocent until the end.
Powells horrific murder-sui-
cide seemed to come out of no-
where. Just days before, in a mo-
tion seeking custody of his chil-
dren filed with a Washington
state court, Powell said he mis-
sed his wife, and would remain
strong for the boys.
A lesser person would fall un-
der the intense scrutiny I amfac-
ing, but apparently my inherent
resilience as a personmakes it in-
creasingly difficult for them to
pursue their agendas, Powell
wrote. I amstanding tall for my
sons, but it deeply hurts to face
such ridicule and abuse.
I knowmy ownheart is free of
any guilt regardless of what peo-
ple claim, he added.
Things changed dramatically
when the judge ruled against
him, ordering the children to re-
main with Susan Powells par-
ents for now.
On Sunday, Powells boys
came for a routine supervised
visit. They ran ahead, the social
worker falling behind. Powell
then locked the door, used a
hatchet on his kids, and lit the
house on fire.
Ultimately, Powell and both
boys died of smoke inhalation,
Pierce County Medical Examin-
ers Office investigator Melissa
Baker said Monday evening.
But theyalsosufferedchopin-
juries that contributed to their
deaths 7-year-old Charles was
struck on his neck and 5-year-old
Braden had injuries to both his
head and neck, Baker said.
Pierce County Sheriffs Detec-
tive Ed Troyer said investigators
found a hatchet that they believe
was used on the boys.
This was definitely a deliber-
ate, planned-out event, Troyer
said.
MURDER

the home where Josh Powell and his two sons were killed Sunday.
neer Joe Gibbons will provide an up-
date on the demolition.
Former commissioners had voted in
November to allocate $1 million in
community development funding to de-
molish the 114-year-old structure at the
corner of Market and River streets and
develop a demolition plan.
The County Council must vote to
seek and award demolition bids.
The demolition design cant be start-
ed until the county, Wilkes-Barre and
CityVest approve a cooperation agree-
ment. Insurance coverage issues involv-
ing CityVest have delayed the comple-
tion of that agreement, council mem-
bers said.
Wilkes-Barre, which condemned the
structure, has agreed to allocate
$260,000 in state gaming funds that
had already been earmarked for the
Sterling.
The cooperation agreement will out-
line financial and liability responsibil-
ities and ensure the county receives
proceeds from the sale of the more
than 3 acres of prime land, county offi-
cials have said.
The demolition plan, to be
prepared by Quad Three
Group, will take weeks to com-
plete because of the complex-
ity of the property layout, offi-
cials have said.
Haas said Tuesday he wants
to explore the possibility of
preserving the structure.
Urban said a CityVest study
estimated it would cost $26.8
million to $35.6 million to ful-
ly restore the structure, and no
developers or government
funding have surfaced.
The moneys not there,
McGinley said. Its outlived
its usefulness.
Maddon Curry said she wants more
explanation on why the building was
not preserved.
Bobeck said its clear the building
wasnt mothballed, but council must fo-
cus on the best future use for the site.
Williams said many citizens still
want the building preserved, and he be-
lieves all interested parties should pub-
licly air their viewpoints so council
members are confident theyve done
their due diligence before they vote.
Haas said historic buildings have
been unnecessarily demolished in
Wilkes-Barre in the past, and hes ex-
tremely nervous the city will
end up with another empty lot.
I just want to err on the
side of caution. I dont want to
haphazardly demolish a piece
of our history, he said. It will
destroy the citys skyline.
Morelli said he understands
attachment to historical struc-
tures but likes to move for-
ward. He said the lot is a
prime piece of property that
will attract a buyer to generate
revenue for the county.
You cant turn back the
clock, Stephen A. Urban said.
Council members agreed
public speakers who advocate
preservation at the work session will be
pressed to identify tangible funding
streams.
Council members said they are still
in the dark about the nature of a federal
probe of the Sterling.
The FBI collected subpoenaed docu-
ments from the county in December
about CityVests spending of the county
loan.
We have no idea what theyre fish-
ing for, Maddon Curry said.
Kingston resident Brian Shiner asked
council to attempt to salvage the exte-
rior shell of the Sterlings first two
floors and press for answers on why
CityVest continued to receive loan
funding when the building wasnt
mothballed.
Kingston Township resident Tom
Dombroski advised council to proceed
with demolition as quickly as possi-
ble.
Local resident Therman Guamp said
you didnt need an engineering degree
to walk by the building 10 years ago
and know it had to come down.

Salaries for eight new home
rule division head positions we-
rent added to Luzerne Countys
amended 2012 budget, which
means new Manager Robert
Lawton must get rid of managers
if he doesnt promote from with-
in.
The subject came up Monday
when the county council voted to
support Interim Manager Tom
Pribulas hiring freeze.
Pribula said he believes some
existing county managers are tal-
ented and qualified to run divi-
sions.
If no current managers rise to
the occasion, some should be
eliminated to free up money to
pay division heads hired from
outside, Pribula said.
Like everybodys been saying,
if a manager cant manage their
particular divisions, they dont
deserve to be around, he said.
New layer unnecessary
Pribula said he did not believe
it was necessary to add another
high level of management to the
budget.
He said he presented these
plans to Lawton, who starts work
on Feb. 21.
I think hes actually buying in
on the fact of the hiring freeze go-
ing through the end of the year. I
think were all onthe same page,
Pribula said.
The manager controls hiring
in all departments except the
courts, district attorney and con-
trollers offices.
A majority of the 11-member
county council must confirm the
managers division head selec-
tions before they take effect. Di-
visionheads serve at the pleasure
of the manager.
About 175 people applied for
division head positions by the
December deadline, including
some current employees, county
officials have said.
The division heads
The administrative services
head will oversee human re-
sources, purchasing, information
technology, the election office, li-
censing and permits, records
maintenance, grant writing,
community development and
tourist promotion, according to
the home rule charter governing
the county since Jan. 2.
An operational services divi-
sion head will cover engineering,
roads and bridges, parks and rec-
reation, solid waste and environ-
mental services, planning and
zoning, emergency manage-
ment, 911, security and building
and grounds.
The correctional services di-
vision head will handle the coun-
ty prison system and juvenile de-
tention, though the county relies
on outside facilities for deten-
tion. County Prison Warden Jo-
seph Piazza currently oversees
the prison system.
Human services is structur-
ed the same as the existing divi-
sion with the same name that is
currently run by acting Human
Services Director Mary Dysleski.
The division includes children
and youth, adult care and wel-
fare, drug-and-alcohol, mental
health and mental retardation
and veterans affairs.
The budget andfinancial ser-
vices head will handle the custo-
dy and disbursement of funds,
budgets, accounting systems and
property assessment. Joan Pusa-
teri has been overseeing budget
and finance since Pribula left the
position. Pribula has said he ap-
plied for the budget chief posi-
tion under home rule.
The judicial services and re-
cords divisionheadwill cover du-
ties performed by several offices
no longer run by elected rowoffi-
cers: clerk of courts, coroner,
prothonotary, recorder of deeds,
register of wills and sheriff.
The structure of the public
defenders division wont change.
Al Flora is currently chief.
The solicitor will serve as
chief legal adviser for most coun-
ty offices, overseeing the office of
law. Lawyers will be under one
roof and no longer be scattered
throughout county offices. The
chief solicitor must be a full-time
employee. Former chief solicitor
Vito DeLuca did not apply for the
chief legal advisor position and is
nowan assistant county solicitor.

The County Council will make that
decision Feb. 14.
People who work for the county already
have decent salaries and benefits. Since
they work for the residents of Luzerne
County, it is time they share more in its
financial survival. Union representative
Paula Schnelly told council members to
come to the courthouse and watch the
laid-off workers cry. I suggest to Ms.
Schnelly that she have the remaining work-
ers who wont take a 2012 wage freeze or
give up 12 days of paid work to help save
their fellow workers jobs come down
and watch them cry.
Interim County Manager Tom Pribula
feels Chief Public Defender Al Flora will
sue the county no matter what because the
council is not providing his financial re-
quest. It is refreshing to note that the man-
ager can, with council confirmation, put
someone in that office who will cooperate.
Councilman Rick Williams said it per-
fectly. We have to adopt a serious austerity
concept that brings us out of this quagmire
a leaner, stronger, more efficient county.
Lets hope we take that road, because we
cannot continue down the one we are on
now.

Reader: Article distorts
food stamp situation
R
eporter Dawn Turner Trice, of the
Chicago Tribune, would do her read-
ers a great service by not distorting
the racial statistics of food stamp recip-
ients in her effort to point out that a larger
number of whites receive food stamp as-
sistance than blacks or Latinos (Welfare
issue makes political comeback, Sunday).
The U.S. Census Bureau identifies 80
percent of all U.S. residents as white non-
Latino, and only 13 percent as black non-
Latino. Using Trices figures, if 34 percent
of food stamp assistance recipients are
white, and 22 percent are black, then the
proportion of blacks receiving food stamp
assistance and Temporary Assistance for
Needy Families when compared to their
overall representation in this country is
substantially higher than that of whites.
This correlates to government studies
showing that 72 percent of all black chil-
dren in the United States are born to un-
wed mothers, and of that number nearly
90 percent live in or near poverty levels,
compared with 29 percent of whites.
Ms. Trice also demonstrates poor judg-
ment in publishing the complaints of Mi-
chelle Torres, a mother of six, about the
approximately $1,000 she receives per
month in food stamp benefits as very
little and a hassle just to get it. Those
comments only further a view that food
stamp recipients are ungrateful to the
taxpayers who clip coupons and work hard
to help support her and her brood.

Women display muscle
in Komen controversy
L
ast week we witnessed the power of
women in this country when their
health care and reproductive rights
were threatened. That power was success-
fully executed with laser precision.
The outpouring of support for Planned
Parenthood from pro-choice women and
men was overwhelming when the Susan G.
Komen for the Cure Foundation, apparent-
ly caving to the Tea Party Republicans in
Congress, attempted to take away its fund-
ing for breast cancer screenings.
Kudos to the 22 Democratic senators
who sent a letter to the Komen Foundation
asking it to reverse its decision. Not one
Republican stepped up to the plate and
signed that letter.
Let this be a lesson to the Republican
religious right in this country. Dont tread
on our bodies, our spirit, our choice or our
health. Women are a force with which to
be reckoned.

Year of the Bible edict
an affront on many levels
P
ennsylvania House Resolution 535
declaring 2012 as The Year of the
Bible in Pennsylvania is objectionable
on many levels, but not for the reasons
most of The Times Leaders sources noted
(Year of Bible sparking dispute, Friday).
Jonathan Malesic is wrong that the
resolution flies in the face of Pennsylva-
nias history of religious liberty.
By modern standards, Pennsylvanias
early history of religious toleration was
quite checkered. Catholics and Jews were
barred from voting in William Penns colo-
ny, and atheists were not tolerated at all.
Religious liberty isnt the central issue in
this controversy; its religious establish-
ment.
By referring to the Bible as the word of
God and holy scriptures, the resolution
clearly favors one religion over another,
and endorses religion over non-religion. In
both of these ways, the resolution violates
the constitutional separation of church and
state.

DCNR chief attempting
to set record straight
R
ecent news coverage has distorted two
decisions by the state Department of
Conservation and Natural Resources,
and it is important to set the record
straight.
We recently changed how we support
our citizen advisory council. This is now
handled by existing agency staff instead of
a full-time director. This move did not
change the role of the council in providing
input on all aspects of DCNRs work.
Suggestions that this simple adminis-
trative change will reduce oversight of
Marcellus Shale development are flatly
false. In the past, the council has not con-
centrated on energy extraction issues but
it is always welcome to do so. I hope that
this change will spur more input from the
council on all DCNR efforts.
Our second decision was to make sure
that our grant programs do not direct
scarce funds to scientific work already
being done by DCNR or its partners. The
Wild Resource Conservation Program was
designed to provide grants from funds
generated from public donations. Unfortu-
nately, public support is insufficient for
program administration. DCNR did its
best to fill the gap by reallocating Envi-
ronmental Stewardship Funds to augment
the grants. However, these also are dwin-
dling, which resulted in the grants award-
ed being decreased.
DCNR continues to study and monitor
our states natural resources. We invest
more than $2.3 million annually in these
efforts, including field surveys for endan-
gered and other species, ecological mon-
itoring, water and soil monitoring and
social considerations such as public safety.
These efforts include many of the same
projects that were supported by the grants.
Citizen review and the use of sound
science are crucial to our decision-making,
and neither of these things will suffer from
our efforts to better control spending. That
is our mission, and that is our promise to
the residents of Pennsylvania.

ITT ROMNEYS ill-
considered remark
about the destitute,
Im not concerned
about the very poor, and his
subsequent awkward explana-
tion of it represented some-
thing more noteworthy than a
rich mans gaffe.
The question raised by the
episode is not simply whether
the candidate can articulate his
views more clearly but whether
the dire economic circumstanc-
es of tens of millions of Amer-
icans are truly understood by
the GOP.
We have a social safety net,
Romney told his CNN inter-
viewer last week. If it needs a
repair, Ill fix it. He went on to
say he wasnt concerned about
the very rich either and that
hes focused on the 90, 95 per-
cent of Americans who right
now are struggling.
This was more than a mere
casting aside of the poor but a
humongous miscalculation of
poverty. Say what you will
about the Occupy Wall Street
protesters, at least they were in
the ballpark with their defini-
tion of the super-rich as repre-
senting only 1 percent of the
U.S. population.
Romneys estimate of 90, 95
percent not only implies that
those helped by taxpayer-sup-
ported safety net programs are
doing just great, thank you, but
that he pegs the impoverished
at somethingbetween4percent
and9 percent of the population.
Thats quite a distance from re-
ality, particularly coming from
someonewhoservedas agover-
nor and surely had to deal with
these programs firsthand.
There are poor and very poor
but there are also working poor
and middle class who some-
times need help from govern-
ment as well.
After all, what are public uni-
versities, job training programs,
enterprise zones and Medicare
but taxpayer-subsidized help to
promote good health, prosper-
ity and job opportunities? They
just dont come with the nega-
tive connotations of food
stamps or other forms of public
assistance.
It isnt dependency for the
middle class to benefit fromthe
programs that their tax dollars
have financed.
The Baltimore Sun
OTHER OPINION: THE VERY POOR
Romney overlooks
reality of poverty
D
ear Homeless Veteran,
Goodtohave youback. As youcansee, certainthings
changed while you were gone; the long economic
downturn really pounded Pennsylvania, putting a lot of people
out of work and eventually ejecting many families from their
foreclosed homes. Unfortunate for sure, but unemployment
compensation cant go on forever, right?
Thejobmarket, well, its beengettingbetter, thoughnot nearly
fast enough. Especiallynot inthe Wilkes-Barre/Scrantonregion.
Have you thought about college? If youre up to hitting the books
and being in a classroom again, its probably a smart choice.
The post office perennially a proud employer of veterans
isnt doing so well financially, but you might as well put in an
application. Whoknows? Oh, andHomeDepot might needsome
temporary help this spring. Maybe Lowes. Its worth a shot.
Do you know how to drive a big truck? Natural gas drilling
companies across the Northern Tier might need your help. The
availability of apartments and other housing in Bradford and
nearby counties, however, could be a bit of a problem. We hear
rents aregoingthroughtheroof; maybeafter your shift youcould
commute to someplace more affordable.
Brian Williams new show on NBC reported tremendous job
growth in North Dakota, a hotspot for oil exploration. For you,
that means going far away again. Its work, though.
And with an estimated 1,400 homeless vets like you in the
Keystone State, withpotentially more onthe way, maybe its best
if you go toward greener pastures. Our homeless shelters with
the services you need cant keep up, although were trying. Soon,
there will be a new place for veterans in Kingston with12 apart-
ments. You probably should put your name on the list.
Things are sure to get better soon.
Until then, thank you for your service and your continued sac-
rifice. God bless you and God bless America.
Signed,
Your lawmaker

HARRISBURG Local Demo-
cratic state legislators are critical
of Gov. Tom Corbetts state bud-
get because of the proposed cuts
and what they consider a parti-
san process.
Last year, House and Senate
Democrats were completely shut
out of budget negotiations, and I
expect the same this year, said
Rep. Phyllis Mundy, D-Kingston.
We had alternatives to painful
cuts that were made this fiscal
year, and continue to offer those
alternatives. However, they have
been ignored.
Rep. Gerald Mullery, D-New-
port Township, said he is con-
cerned about more cuts in educa-
tion and proposed cuts of $10.5
million to the state Department
of Environmental Protection.
Despite our concerns, I ex-
pect that the
upcoming bud-
get will play
out similarly to
last year with
House and Sen-
ate Democrats
being shut out
of all negotia-
tions by Republican leaders in
both chambers and the gover-
nors office, he said.
State Sen. John Yudichak, D-
Plymouth Township, said Cor-
betts proposed plan continues to
shortchange Pennsylvanias fu-
ture by hurting working families,
schools and communities.
The budget dodges the re-
sponsibility of creating jobs and
opportunity while shifting the
tax burden to local taxpayers,
Yudichak said. Cutting educa-
tion funding by $400 million rais-
es school taxes and college tui-
tion rates, cutting human servic-
es programs by $600 million
forces counties to raise property
taxes, and this budget continues
that disastrous dodge and shift
philosophy.
Rep. Eddie Day Pashinski, D-
Wilkes-Barre, said the budget is
inadequate and filled with gener-
alities.
We can do much better, he
said.
Mundy said the proposed bud-
get forces working families and
vulnerable citizens to make
more sacrifices and fails to re-
quire large corporations to pay
their fair share.
State Rep. Mike Carroll, D-
Avoca, said state government
has an obligation to fund core
services such as education, pub-
lic safety and transportation.
State Sen. John Blake, D-Arch-
bald, said Corbetts plan puts
Pennsylvania on the wrong
course by focusing almost exclu-
sively on the interests and the
influence of big business.
Blake said the budget will
force more teacher layoffs and
larger class sizes in public
schools, higher local property
taxes for fixed income home-
owners and will ensure that a
college education remain but a
dream to more Pennsylvanians
who will surely be unable to af-
ford it.
GOP lawmakers weigh in
On the GOP side, Sen. Lisa
Baker, R-Lehman Township, said
a state budget that holds the line
on state taxes and state spending
is clearly in touch with the
mood of taxpayers.
Baker said with revenues con-
tinuing to fall short of projec-
tions each month, it is impossi-
ble to craft a state budget that
will be widely popular. She said
fiscal restraint must happen
while the state prepares for an
eventual economic recovery.
She said the process now be-
gins to look for ways to better
distribute available dollars, for
places to cut back or eliminate
programs that have become less
essential, and for chances to
stretch dollars through mandat-
ed relief.
Rep. Tarah Toohil, R-Butler
Township, said Corbetts pro-
posed $27.14 billion budget
shows a focus on jobs and work
force development.
He has had to make some dif-
ficult decisions, but these are de-
cisions that are necessary to en-
sure the commonwealth contin-
ues to live within its means,
Toohil said.
Rep. Karen Boback, R-Harveys
Lake, said last years budget
rolled back spending, but even
with the reductions, state spend-
ing has outpaced revenue collec-
tions.

BUDGET PROCESS
Local lawmakers expect
Democrats to be shut out of
budget talks again this year.
By BILL OBOYLE
boboyle@timesleader.com
While education and social services
are getting much of the attention
directed at Gov. Tom Corbetts pro-
posed $23.14 billion spending plan,
dozens of other agencies, departments
and programs would be affected.
The budget calls for cutting funds
for Veterans Homes, like the 200-bed
Gino J. Merli Veterans Center in
Scranton, by more than $6 million.
Karla Porter, a U.S. Air Force veter-
an and member of the NEPA Veterans
Multicare Alliance board of directors,
said veterans, perhaps more than
many other groups, can understand
the need for the cuts.
I think that veterans understand
when sacrifices need to be made,
said Porter.
The Department of Environmental
Protection will see funding cut by 7.8
percent or $10.5 million; and the De-
partment of Conservation and Natural
Resources budget is decreased by
about $2.5 million or 4.6 percent.
Almost no recipient of state funds
goes unscathed, though some would
maintain level funding, such as the
state police at $187 million and the
Department of Corrections at $1.87
billion. Its the first time in a decade
no increase was budgeted for correc-
tions. But Corbett said the budget
provides funding for a new cadet class
of 115 state police troopers to begin
this summer.
With the increasing workload of
truck inspections, responding to in-
creased traffic incidents and receiving
more calls for assistance directly relat-
ed to the expansion of Marcellus sSale
drilling, now, more than ever, addi-
tional resources and personnel are
needed, said Pennsylvania State
Troopers Association President Joseph
Kovel.
Libraries also saw cuts, though
Richard Miller, executive director of
the Osterhout Free Library in Wilkes-
Barre and the administrator of the
Luzerne County Library System, said
Weve been cut so much in previous
years that there just wasnt much left
to cut.
Funding to the state library system
was slashed by 5 percent to $2.6 mil-
lion.
Its not huge, but certainly not
welcome, Miller said.
He noted that a decade ago, state
public library funding was $75 mil-
lion. This latest budget proposes $50
million.
Cuts to the Recreation and Cultur-
al Enrichment budget that includes
state parks, forests, museums and
historical preservation total $28 mil-
lion.
While agriculture continues to be
the states number one economic
sector, the proposed budget reduces
funding by 6.6 percent. Many pro-
grams that fall under the Department
of Agriculture, including research and
education, and initiatives and grants
for state fairs, are being slashed or
seeing funding completely eliminated.
Tourism is the states second-largest
sector and it too is hard hit. The
tourism promotion budget is de-
creased by $990,000, a 25 percent cut.
Tourism funding for zoos has been
eliminated.
Economic development efforts fare
better. The Department of Communi-
ty and Economic Development would
receive $211.7 million, nearly the same
as this year, as is the Department of
Labor & Industrys $70.5 million.
I am submitting to you a budget
proposal that is at once lean and de-
manding. In the coming weeks we
will sit down to work out the final
details as we map out our course. But
this map comes with boundaries. We
will not spend more than we have,
Corbett said.
Veterans, DEP, DCNR among dozens of other groups affected
By ANDREWM. SEDER
aseder@timesleader.com
While agriculture continues to be the states number one economic sector, the
proposed budget reduces funding by 6.6 percent. Many programs that fall un-
der the Department of Agriculture, including research and education, and ini-
tiatives and grants for state fairs, are being slashed or seeing funding com-
pletely eliminated.
Manager Joe Rodriquez echoed
the sentiment after briefly re-
viewing the budget proposal be-
tween meetings.
Both men were in the middle
of preparing for board meetings
today. But Rodriguez said his as-
sistant had figured the district
was coming out ahead by half a
million or more than last years
state subsidies. I feel more pos-
itive going into tomorrows
meeting, he said.
Dallas Business Manager
Grant Palfey had been able to
take a closer look at how the
proposal affected his district
and suspects he knows the logic
behind combining the three
seemingly disparate budget
items.
Putting the money in one pot
gives districts an incentive to
cut spending in transportation
or salaries the determining
factor in social security pay-
ments. Now that its all in the
same broad grant, such savings
can be used as the district sees
fit.
Efficiency will matter a little
more, Palfey said.
Large districts benefit
A breakdown of the numbers
shows the change benefited Ha-
zleton Area and Wilkes-0Barre
Area the most, with a 3.5 per-
cent increase in overall funding
under the new system. Hanover
Areas money increased 3.4 per-
cent and Wyoming Valley West
saw a climb of 3.2 percent.
Its too early to judge the im-
pact of budget cuts on LCCC,
Leary said, particularly since
the proposal must still grind
through the legislature and
could change.
But he noted LCCC has avoid-
ed a tuition hike the last two
years despite the tough econo-
my, and promised the college
will continue to strive to keep
tuition low while maintaining
programs, regardless of the final
outcome for this years state
budget.
At Head Start, Biga said the
cuts appear to be more firmly
set. Weve been told we have to
absorb this cut not just in next
years budget, but in this years
budget, Biga said. The state fis-
cal year runs from July 1
through June 30.
The state also cut Pre-K
Counts, a Head Start program
for younger children, by 5 per-
cent, though a PowerPoint pre-
sentation released by Corbett
said that cut was being made
through changes in state admin-
istration and would not reduce
the number of children served.
Biga had heard otherwise
that the state would absorb the
cost this fiscal year, but pass at
least some of it on when the
new budget takes effect. How
that translates to the number of
disadvantaged children served
remains unknown. Were trying
to make a plan right now.
Tkatch said Corbetts empha-
sis on job training and the po-
tential of career centers in his
budget speech dovetails with
West Sides efforts to train stu-
dents in high-demand jobs in-
cluding a partnership with Sus-
quehanna County Career Center
to offer training for the Marcel-
lus Shale drilling industry.
Corbetts budget is full of
smaller but important initia-
tives, including a plan to spend
$3.7 million to complete imple-
mentation of a new teacher eval-
uation system that bases a
chunk of that evaluation on stu-
dent scores on state tests. The
budget calls for statewide use of
the system beginning in the
2013-14 school year. Most local
school districts began limited
use of that system this year as
part of a pilot program.
The budget sets aside another
$471,000 to devise a new system
of grading public schools based
on three factors: Fiscal, academ-
ic performance and safety.
And it earmarks $1.7 million
to create real-time data collec-
tion of information gathered
from schools and districts that
is used in disbursing state
funds, allowing a more accu-
rate allocation of state dollars to
follow the student.

Weve been told we

not just in next years

years budget.
Lynn Biga
Luzerne County Head Start executive
director
Clearly these are difficult times and
its the fourth year in a row that local
agencies will need to address budget
cuts, Jones said.
He said agencies throughout the
region are trying to figure out not only
how the budget affects them but also
how to make the best use of available
funds to help an ever-growing pool of
clients seeking help, whether for food,
shelter, child care or alcohol or drug
rehabilitation.
While the funding might go away,
needs dont, Jones said.
The seven affected budget lines are:
Mental Health Services, Intellectual
Disabilities, County Child Welfare
Special Grants, Behavioral Health
Services, Homeless Assistance Pro-
grams, Human Services Development
Fund and the Act 152 Drug and Alco-
hol Program.
While in many cases less drastic
than last years reductions, the $29.6
million in cuts the governor is propos-
ing in human services, including
$788,000 for autism intervention and
services, would hurt people who need
help the most, according to leaders of
local social service organizations. Au-
tism help was cut by $1.4 million last
year.
As anticipated, its bleak, said Pa-
mela Zotynia, executive director of The
ARC of Luzerne County. She said the
provider system is already in jeopardy
after cuts made this fiscal year.
On the public welfare side of state
aid, administration leaders said the
time has come for those receiving help
to begin helping themselves.
We are focused on maintaining the
safety net for Pennsylvanias most
vulnerable and most in need. However,
Pennsylvania taxpayers, who already
pay 40 cents on each of their tax dol-
lars for welfare programs, cannot sus-
tain the continued growth of public
assistance, said Public Welfare Secre-
tary Gary D. Alexander. Public welfare
was created to provide temporary
assistance for most recipients and to be
a last resort, not a way of life.
Corbett said the state wants to see
residents who have received assistance
find jobs and said a focus of the state
should be to allocate resources to do
just that.
The budget I bring you is built to
transform the public welfare system.
Not to eliminate it but to right size it.
It modifies programs to give incentives
to those who are able to transition
from the welfare line to the employ-
ment line while it gives real relief to
our poor, Corbett said.
So instead of the state divvying up
funds for behavior health services,
mental health, homeless assistance,
and other line items, the budget com-
bined them, and then cut 20 percent
from this years budget.
Mary Dysleski, acting director of the
Luzerne County Department of Hu-
man Services, said the proposal is
better than having across the board
cuts to programs but its too early to
know the impact on the county and
those who use the services.
In a way, it does help us, but there
are still a lot of questions that need to
be answered before we know how
much, she said.
Zotynia said while shes not ready
to panic yet there is a concern that
not only are the thousands of people
currently on waiting lists for services
going to be left out, those currently
receiving assistance may see a reduc-
tion in services or be forced to join
those in line.

couldnt come any more routinely for
the Holy Redeemer girls swimming
and diving team.
Five years. Five titles.
The Royals clinched the Wyoming
Valley Conference Southern Division
championship with a 109-77 victory
over Dallas on Tuesday at the Wyom-
ing Valley Catholic Youth Center.
It doesnt get any easier, Holy Re-
deemer coach Mara Pawlenok said.
Every year, you do the scouting. You
sit down and figure out the lineups.
You work hard with the kids; get
them everything they need for suc-
cess. And then they do the work.

NEW YORK Eli Manning
hoisted the Lombardi Trophy
from a glittering blue-and-white
float, and Mayor Michael Bloom-
berg joked that New York City
should now be nicknamed the
BigBlue Apple, as thousands of
fans crowded lower Manhattan
on Tuesday to celebrate the New
York Giants Super Bowl victory
amid tons of confetti.
The parade set off from the
southern tip of Manhattan and
rolled slowly north to City Hall,
past fans dressed head to toe in
red, blue and white Giants gear,
with confetti wafting slowly from
the high-rises lining Broadway.
Manning, the Super Bowl
MVP, joined by coach Tom
Coughlin, Bloomberg, Gov. An-
drew Cuomo and other team-
mates, waved and grinned from
the float as a deep roar rose from
the crowds.
Defensive end Justin Tuck said
he was glad to be part of the
team, leading its defense and
sacking New England quarter-
back TomBrady twice during the
21-17 victory over the Patriots,
We made it here by believing
in each other. We believe in every
guy on this team, he said later
during a ceremony at City Hall
Plaza. Honestly, we wouldnt be
here today without your sup-
port.
The team was introduced with
thunderous applause from the
thousands of fans outside the
City Hall gates. A lucky 250 fans
received tickets to the fete,
where the Giants were honored
with symbolic keys to the city.
The crowd went wild for run-
ningbackAhmedBradshaw, who
plopped down in the end zone
Sunday to score the winning
touchdown. Wide receiver Victor
Cruz did his trademark salsa
moves as he accepted his key.
Manning joked about the
teams fourth-quarter come-
backs. Make it toughbut make it
possible, he said, laughing
about how the team blew an
early lead to come back and win.
The Giants had eight fourth-
quarter comebacks to win games
during the season.
Finish games, finish fourth
quarters and finish the season
strong. Thats what we did,

One top seed is all but wrapped up.
The other likely wont be decided until
the final day of the regular season.
With just two weeks left in the
league schedule, four of the six local
college basketball teams are in posi-
tion to qualify for the FreedomConfer-

The Kings womenare one winaway
from finishing first in the league while
the mens side features a three-way tie

headers against Delaware Valley and
Eastern, respectively. Wilkes heads to
New Jersey to play at FDU-Florham.
The womens games all begin at 6
p.m., with the men following at 8 p.m.
Nothing is settled on the mens side
as Misericordia, Wilkes andEasternall
enter tonight at 7-3 in conference play.
Nobodys a dominant team thats
going to just run through the confer-
ence, Colonels coach Jerry Rickrode
said. It can happen to anybody.
For a time, it looked like Wilkes
might pull away from the pack, start-
ing off 6-0. But Eastern and Misericor-
dia bothknockedoff the Colonels, who
snapped a three-game skid with a win
Saturday against Manhattanville.
Now its the Cougars who are hot
with a six-game streak of their own, in-
cluding a pair of overtime road wins
against Kings andDeSales. Awinover
Eastern would go a long way to claim-

S P O R T S
DALLAS The high, arching
half-court shot nearly rocketed
into the rafters, swooped down
with a hard crash against the
backboard and skipped across
the rim before falling to the
floor.
It was one of the few shots
Bob Saba missed all night.
Saba turned the game he
dedicated to his ailing sister
into a game to remember Tues-
day, scoring 20 points -- includ-
ing a couple of pivotal three-
point field goals -- while leading
Dallas past Holy Redeemer,
58-47 in a Wyoming Valley Con-
ference boys basketball game.
It was very significant, Saba
said of the victory.
For a couple of reasons.
Team-wise, the victory
snapped Holy Redeemers eight-
game stranglehold over Dallas
that lasted 3 seasons. It also
kept first-half champ Dallas in
the hunt for a second-half WVC
Division II title at 12-6 overall
and 2-2 in the half, one game
behind Redeemer (9-10 overall,
3-1 in the second half).
We were 1-2 coming into
this, Saba said of the division
frontrunners. If we lost this
game, we were basically out of
contention for a second-half
championship.
Personally, the magnitude of
the moment was just as impor-
tant to Saba.
His 14-year-old sister Kylee
suffered through scary trauma
when an ATV Ranger she was
riding on Kunkle Mountain
flipped Sunday, then rolled over
her legs. Bob Saba said his sis-
ter underwent successful spleen
surgery, and said the family was
relieved to learn shes expected
make a full recovery.
We thought she had broken
her legs, Saba said. Shes go-
ing to be in the hospital for
awhile. But shes going to be
alright. Softballs her sport. We
hope she gets a chance to play
this year. Thinking of that kept
me playing hard.
I wanted to win the game for
her.
He picked the perfect night
or maybe helped make it that
way.
Saba scored five points in the
second quarter while helping
the Mountaineers forge a 26-26
halftime tie and nearly broke it
with his desperation, last-second
shot that came oh-so-close to
banking in.
I really didnt think I was
going to hit anything, Saba
said. I almost hit the ceiling.
Then he started hitting the
net.
Saba banked home a trey and
dropped two free throws in the
third quarter, helping Dallas to a
37-32 lead with a quarter to
play. In the fourth, he drilled
two more three-pointers the
first which doubled Dallas
three-point lead early in the
quarter and the last a nifty out-
side shot that boosted the Dal-
las advantage to 54-44 with 3:15
remaining.
If hes open, if he gets his feet
set, hes going to knock them
down, Dallas coach Doug Mill-
er said.
Intent on knocking off the
second-half leader, Dallas used
strong inside play by Shane
Dunn and Jason Simmovich to
stay even through the first half.
Dunn scored 10 of his 16
points in the first quarter,
matching the hot start by Re-
deemers Mike Boutanos from
the outside, as the teams en-
tered the second quarter tied at
13. Simmovich scored the first
six of his 15 in the second quar-
ter, helping Dallas stay stride for
stride with the Royals, before
Sabas shooting opened up the
game for the Mountaineers in
the second half.
First time since the (2008
Class 3A) districts weve beaten
them, grinned Saba.
Theyre very well-coached, a
very disciplined team, Miller
said of the Royals. Weve been
talking about hustling and play-
ing hard the whole game. To-
night, we had to hustle, offense
and defense.
We said from here on out,
every games a playoff game.

Dallas ends skid
against Royals
By PAUL SOKOLOSKI

See DALLAS, Page 4B
that type of preparation equals
success in a program.
Unlike most meets, the Roy-
als diving corps stole the show
with an upset first-place show-
ing. Olivia Vitali scored a
226.05 to earn the top spot. Kel-
sey Williams was third.
I thought the divers were
marvelous beautiful, said
Pawlenok, who has three divers
who will compete at districts
Feb. 25. They were on today.
Holy Redeemers Melissa
Cruz notched a victory in the
200 IM. She also swam as part
of the first-place finishing 200
medley and 200 free relays.
Melissa Cruz had a nice time
in her IM, Pawlenok said. She
swamfairly well in the butterfly
and in the relays.
The Royals Mallory Kusaka-
vitch touched the wall first in
the 100 breast in a time of
1:18.84. Bethany Chmil bested
the competition in the 100 free,
clocking in at 59.55 seconds. Ju-
lie Ann Mahle earned firsts in
the 200 free and 100 back.
With its season shortened
due to Crestwood dropping its
program, Holy Redeemer finds
itself with three-and-a-half
weeks until the District 2 Class
2A swimming championships
March 2-3.
Thats preparation time for
us to look at the program, Paw-
lenok said. Its time for us to
start to taper down on our yar-
dage. Were going not so much
quantity but quality. We start
working the details starts,
turns, things like that that will
be important in the close races.
We all like it like this way.
Caitlyn Barry (500 free) and
Kaylin Williams (100 fly) re-
corded Dallas two wins.
Mountaineer boys take down
Royals
On the boys side, Dallas took
nine of 12 events en route to a
100-77 victory over Holy Re-
deemer.
Dallas Brian Stepniak
earned multiple victories in the
100 free and 100 back. Marcus
Wagner claimed first in the 200
free and 500 free. Jake Chelli
locked down wins in the 50 free
and 100 fly.
A lot of the boys had nice
races but didnt get some of
their fastest times on the year,
Dallas boys coach Romayne
Mosier said. The good thing is
that theyre swimming consis-
tently. The times are within a
range. We need to see continue
that kind of consistency for dis-
tricts.
The Mountaineers Patrick
Madaya recorded a personal
best with a second-place show-
ing in diving.
Holy Redeemer received indi-
vidual wins from Michael Pah-
ler (diving) and Terry Vrabec
(100 breast).

This weekend
the PIAA Duals
Championships
are being held
at Giant Center
in Hershey.
Locally, it has
been the week-
end when the wrestling focus
turns to the junior high level.
In past years, the junior high
east and west sectionals were
held this weekend leading up to
the District 2 Tournament,
normally held the next week-
end.
In 2012, however, all three of
those tournaments were nixed
by the district when cutbacks
were made last year. And D2
was one the last districts to
hold a district tournament.
So it seemed inevitable that,
in a rough economy when high
schools all over the nation are
cutting varsity programs, a cut
was coming.
The season started, and then
we found out there was no
sectionals or districts and we
were like wow, Lake-Lehman
junior high coach Jim Rosen-
crans said. Then you have to
tell the kids. It wasnt as hard
on me as it was for other coach-
es in the area.
So a group spearheaded by
the Lake-Lehman coaching staff,
including Rosencrans took mat-
ters into its own hands.
We want to see the kids get
something for their hard work,
Rosencrans said.
And now they will.
Rosencrans and the rest of
the Black Knights staff, varsity
included, brought back the
Lake-Lehman Invitational. The
junior high event was held some
time ago as a district alternative
before District 2 took it over. As
of today, Rosencrans has 14
teams committed for the tour-
ney, which will be held Feb. 18
at Lake-Lehman. If the maxi-
mum number of District 2
teams decides to attend, more
than 20 teams will be involved
and that could push the event
into a two-day tournament.
Everything will be the same
as the district tournament, with
four or six medals being distrib-
uted, a team champion and
coach of the year awards. There
will even be a seeding meeting
using the same formula that
was used for seeding at dis-
tricts.
And because the junior high
season ends this weekend,
teams will not have to use any
competition points to attend the
Lake-Lehman Invitational. Ro-
sencrans hopes to get more
commitments for the event this
weekend at the Wyoming Valley
Conference Tournament, which
was moved from the middle of
the season. The WVC event will
be held at Pittston Area on
Saturday with weigh-ins at 7:30
a.m. and wrestling starting at 9
a.m., and continuing through-
out the day, concluding with the
finals slated for 5 p.m. Times
will be the same next weekend
unless the tournament has to
cover two days.
Commitments will be taken
for the L-L Invitational until the
middle of next week. If your
team has not yet committed
and would like to, contact Jim
Rosencrans at 239-4847.
LOCAL FLAVOR IN HERSHEY
The Wyoming Valley Confer-
ence may have been shutout
from the PIAA Dual Champion-
ships this weekend, but WVC
official Corry Hanson will repre-
sent the conference.
For the past two years, Han-
son, also the Meyers varsity
head football coach, was a refer-
ee at the PIAA Individual
Championships. That two-year
rotation has concluded and he
will now be at the state duals
for this year and next.
FORMER CHAMPS ON HAND
Last weekend at District
Duals, former Meyers state
champions Jay Patterson and
Frank Castrignano were on
hand watching their alma mater
in action.
On Monday afternoon, the
Mohawks welcomed Patterson,
the only three-time state cham-
pion from District 2 into the
wrestling room.
How many times can you get
a three-time state champion in
the room?, Mohawks coach
Ron Swingle said. Whether
you know it or not, those guys
help. When the kids look
around and see that, its kind of
a wow factor that no matter
how good were doing, there
were a lot of people before that
were a lot more successful.

Revised Criteria
Some confusion arose about the current criteria tiebreaking
procedures over the weekend after the District 2 Class 2A Duals
championship came down to Criteria H and even the media wasnt
familiar with the formula. So without further ado, heres the updated
criteria with thanks to official Corry Hanson:
A. Least amount of team points deducted for flagrant or
unsportsmanlike conduct.
B. Least amount of team points deducted.
C. Least amount of match points deducted for unsportsmanlike
conduct.
D. Most matches won, including forfeits.
E. Most falls, defaults, forfeits or disqualifications.
F. Greater number of technical falls.
G. Greater number of major decisions.
H. Greater number of first points scored.
I. Most near fall points.
J. Most takedowns.
K. Most reversals.
L. Most escapes.
M. Least amount of stalling points.
N. Least amount of stall warnings.
O. Least amount of other infractions such as false starts.
P. Flip of the disk.
games behind DeSales and FDU-
Florhamfor the final playoff spot.
On the womens side, Kings
has already wrapped up a post-
season berth with a perfect 10-0
conference record and will clinch
the top seed with a win in any of
its final four games.
The locker room is excited,
Lady Monarchs coach Brian Do-
noghue said after his team swept
through the league in the first
half. I think theyre also very
aware that we can be better.
That 10-0 mark is the best con-
ference start in program history
and is part of an11-game winning
streak that has spanned all of
2012.
Kings holds a three-game lead
on DeSales, Eastern and Miser-
icordia, all of which sit at 7-3 and
are in good shape to make the
tournament.
The Cougars have won all
three home games theyve played
under interimcoachDave Martin
and will look to make it 4-0 to-
night against the Eagles, withthe
winner havinganinside tracktoa
first-round tournament home
game.
The Lady Colonels have been
eliminated from the playoff race,
but Wilkes picked up its first con-
ference win of the season on Sat-
urday, beating Manhattanville.

Manning said.
Coughlin said the Giants were
successful because they never
gave up.
The key thing was to remem-
ber this: All things are possible
for those who believe, Coughlin
said. We always believed.
Some fans had waited since 6
a.m. to catch a glimpse of their
favorite players. About half of a
Long Island high school class
skipped school to see a whole
nation coming together in one
place this parade, said Mike
King, 16, of Wantagh.
King and seven school friends
got up at dawn, arriving by sub-
way in lower Manhattan to join
the crowds packed behind police
barricades. He attributed the win
to Mannings stellar perform-
ance and the hold-your-breath
catch by Mario Manningham
that led to the game-winning
drive.
Frank Capogrosso, 11, from
Staten Island, leaned against a
barricade at the beginning of the
parade route with his dad and
best friend.
This is better than TV. I love
the cop cars, the toilet paper and
the ecstatic fans, he said. I love
the Giants. I love their style.
They play, they dont talk.
The parade for the Super Bowl
champions could bring the city
as much as $38 million, depend-
ing on the number of spectators,
Bloomberg said. As many as 1
million people were expected
about a third of them from out-
side New York.
After the parade, the team
traveled to New Jersey for an af-
ternoon rally at their home turf,
MetLife Stadium. Tens of thou-
sands of fans roared as the team
walked onto the field in East
Rutherford, making it feel like a
regular Sunday game for Big
Blue.
Some fans even got to touch a
piece of history when Giants run-
ning back Brandon Jacobs
capped the boisterous celebra-
tion by taking the Lombardi Tro-
phy and walking it around the
stadium to give delirious fans in
the lower rows a chance to lean
over and put their hands on it. It
was an impromptu moment that
fit the mood of the afternoon.
Its the second Super Bowl
championship parade for the Gi-
ants in four years. They beat the
Patriots in the NFL title game in
2008.
Bloomberg asked the crowd:
Are you feeling deja blue all over
again? referring to the teams
2008 win. Fans cheered.
Workers in high-rises tossed
confetti and later entire pieces
of papers fromtheir windows.
Jun Kim, 28, a Korean linguist
at the law firm Kenyon & Ke-
nyon, reserved his biggest batch
for Manning. You are a star! he
yelled as the quarterback passed
by. People thought he would
crumble under pressure, but he
didnt. Hes the best.
And once, so were four former
Giants players who all starred in
past Super Bowls and joined Kim
on the 11th floor of Number One
Broadway, watching from a bal-
cony with the best birds-eye
view of the parade, said manag-
ing partner Michael Loughnane.
Howard Cross, a onetime Gi-
ants tight end, said he only
caught a few seconds of the pa-
rade from the drop-dead height
because Im scared I dont
lean over edges!
Three other former Giants
were also at the confetti fest in
the 19th century building: Otis
Anderson, George Martin and
Sean Landetta.
Just moments after the parade
passed around noon, a lineup of
sanitation plows scraped their
way up Broadway, pushing
mounds of confetti some as
high as 5 feet.

Dallas star Dunn headed to ESU
FOR THE TIMES LEADER/CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK
Dallas High School senior Shane Dunn, center, will continue his athletic and academic
careers at East Stroudsburg University. His parents, Boyd and Maryann Dunn, are
seatted next to him. Standing are, from left, coaches Gary Steier, Bob Mahle, Jonathan
Saba, Ted Jackson Sr. and Ted Jackson Jr.
Its on our own hands now,
Hanover Area coach Steve Har-
nischfeger said.
Right fromthestart, theball in
Rolles hands meant good things
for the Hawkeyes. He had six
points and three rebounds, two
of which he turned into baskets,
as Hanover Area raced out to a
15-6 lead after one quarter.
Seminary, though, went on a
9-0 run to start the second quar-
ter to tie the score 15-15.
Its our Achilles, Harnisch-
feger said. We go on runs and
then we give up runs. Thats one
thing we talked about, playing
32 minutes.
Hanover Area eventually
gained the lead for good, 20-17 at
2:40 of the second, on a three-
point shot that did its best not to
go in. Jeorge Colon launched it
from the right corner and the
ball banged hard off the rim
three times before dropping
though.
With Rolle controlling things
the rest of the second quarter
and into the third, Hanover Area
was able to build a double-digit
lead. Seminary, though, was able
to cut the deficit to three on four
occasions in the second half.
The final time Seminary did
came with 6:23 remaining on an
outside jumper by freshman
Seth Callahan, the son of former
Hanover Area coach Bill Call-
ahan.
We had it down to three on a
couple occasions, Seminary
coach C.J. Kersey said, and they
were able to make a big stop or
come up with a key basket every
time we got ourselves backinthe
game. Credit to themfor making
plays when they needed it.
As it was all night, Rolle made
two key plays after Callahans
basket. He nailed an outside
jumper and tossed in a rebound
as the Hawkeyes kept the Blue
Knights from another rally at-
tempt.
We had a fewlapses in our D
and a few little mistakes, Rolle
said, but we fixed them for the
fourth quarter. The guys hustled
and played hard.

FRED ADAMS/FOR THE TIMES LEADER
Hanover Areas ShaQuille Rolle has a rebound knocked fromhis
grasp by a Wyoming Seminary defender during Tuesdays game.
Memphis is the latest school
to sign up for a spot in the new
Big East.
A person familiar with the de-
cision says Memphis is joining
the Big East for all sports in
2013.. The person spoke to The
Associated Press on condition of
anonymity because an official an-
nouncement would be made
Wednesday.
The Big East announced it
would hold a teleconference
with Commissioner John Mari-
natto, University of Memphis
President Shirley C. Raines and
Memphis Athletic director R.C.
Johnson, though it did not give
any details about what would be
discussed.
Johnson said a newconference
would be held in Memphis after
the teleconference to discuss the
universitys athletic affiliation.
U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen (D-
Tenn.) couldnt wait until the
news became official to cele-
brate.
I am thrilled that my home-
town team and alma mater the
University of Memphis is being
invited to join the Big East, Co-
hen said in a statement. Joining
the Big East will not only be
great for the University of Mem-
phis, but it will be an economic
catalyst for the City of Memphis.
Thanks to Louisville Coach
Rick Pitino for his strong sup-
port. And Congratulations to Dr.
Shirley Raines and R.C. John-
son.

OWINGSMILLS, Md. Ricky Williams is
retiring fromthe NFL.
Again.
This time, however, it appears to be for
good.
The 34-year-old Williams told the Balti-
more Ravens on Tuesday he wont be back to
fulfill the second year of a contract he signed
in August. Playing as a backup to Ray Rice
this year, Williams ran for 444 yards and
scored two touchdowns.
He also became the 26th player in NFL his-
tory to reach 10,000 yards rushing, reaching
the plateau in the season finale at Cincinnati.
The NFLhas beenanamazingpage inthis
chapter of my life, Williams said. I pray that
all successive adventures offer me the same
potential for growth, successandmost impor-
tantly, fun. ... As for whats next, I amexcited
about all the opportunities ahead contin-
uing my education, running The Ricky Wil-
liams Foundation and whatever other oppor-
tunities present themselves.
Williams retiredpreviouslybeforethe2004
season when facing a four-game suspension
for violating the leagues drug policy. He re-
turned in 2005, then left to spend the 2006
seasonwithTorontoof theCanadianFootball
League.
After an outstanding college career at Tex-
as, where he won the Heisman Trophy, Wil-
liams broke into the NFL in 1999 with the
New Orleans Saints. Mike Ditka, then coach
of the Saints, traded all the teams draft and
first- andthird-roundpicksin2000topickWil-
liams fifth overall.
Williams spent only three years with New
Orleans, but over11years intheleaguehehad
five 1,000-yard rushing seasons and finished
with10,009 yards on the ground.
Williams led the NFL in 2002 with 1,853
yards rushing for the Miami Dolphins and re-
ceived his lone Pro Bowl invitation that sea-
son. He backed that up with 1,372 yards in
2003, giving him what remains the two most
productiverushingseasonsinDolphinshisto-
ry.
Although Williams last start was in 2009,
he enjoyed coming off the bench for the Rav-
ens.
Its been interesting, he said in Novem-
ber. Its beenanadjustment for me, but I love
the organization and I love my teammates so
Im having a good time. Im enjoying myself.
Anytime youplay a teamsport, the success of
the team really makes everything better. Its
nice.
Baltimore went 12-4 this season and lost to
New England in the AFC championship
game.
During that November interview, Williams
was asked whether playing as a backup could
possibly extend his career.
At this point, my focus is just to finish my
career strong, hesaid. Imnot eventhinking
twoor threeyearsdowntheline. But oneposi-
tive about not carrying the ball is my body
does feel good.
Williamsscored73touchdownsover hisca-
reer, all but eight of them on the ground. His
last score came on Dec. 4 against Cleveland.
I have to thank coach (John) Harbaugh
and the Ravens organization for the opportu-
nity they gave me this year, Williams said. I
had so much fun and really appreciated the
chance to finish on such a great note.
Williams fit in well with the Ravens and
made a lasting impression on Rice, who led
the NFL this season with 2,068 yards from
scrimmage.
I was a big fan of Ricky before we were
teammates, but being around himthis year is
thebest thingthat happenedtomeinmyNFL
career, Rice said. As a young player, you
needtobearoundaguywhoknows what heis
doing, and Ricky was tremendous to learn
from. Thewayhetookcareof hisbodyandthe
way he prepared, he always showed that he is
atrueprofessional. This past seasonwithhim
is a year I will never forget.
I hadthebest yearwithhimbesideme, and
that was no accident. I believe that Ricky Wil-
liams is aHall of Famer. All that hehas donein
his career, he deserves that.
Harbaugh said during his time in Balti-
more, Williams made a valuable and lasting
contribution. I especially enjoyed getting to
know him as a person, and I have the utmost
respect for him.
He was great to be around and to work
with every single day.

Ricky Williams retires

PITTSBURGHThe Steelers
have named Todd Haley their
new offensive coordinator.
Haley, 45, will replace Bruce
Arians, now with the Indianapo-
lis Colts, and will inherit an of-
fense that scored 325 points last
season en route to finishing 12-4.
Haley was fired by Kansas City
on Dec. 13, after going 19-26 in
two-plus seasons withthe Chiefs,
leading them to the 2010 AFC
West title.
He spent 10 seasons as an as-
sistant before beinghiredby Kan-
sas City. He was offensive coordi-
nator for Arizona in 2007-08,
helping lead the Cardinals to
their only Super Bowl appear-
ance. And he is the son of Dick
Haley, who spent 44 seasons in
the NFL including serving as the
Steelers director of player per-
sonnel from1971-90.
The Steelers lost the AFC
North title to Baltimore on a tie-
breaker, and were eliminated
from the postseason by Denver.
I am excited
about the op-
portunity to
come back
home and work
for a tremen-
dous organiza-
tion, Haley
said. It is an
honor to work with the Rooney
family and coach (Mike) Tomlin
andcontinue the success that has
become synonymous with the
Steelers. My father has so many
fond memories both from his
playing days and his time in the
personnel department with the
team, and I look forward to help-
ing bring more championships to
Pittsburgh and to being a part of
one of the storied franchises in
the NFL.
The Chiefs were 5-8 when Ha-
ley was dismissed. His last game
was a tough one. Kansas City
lost, 37-10, to the New York Jets
at the Meadowlands, and it was
their fifth loss in six games. Kan-
sas City committed 11 penalties
for 128 yards in the performance,
including a 15-yarder on Haley
for unsportsmanlike conduct
that may have sealed his fate.
The next day, he was fired.
Timing in these situations is
always difficult. There never
seems to be a right time, Chiefs
chairman and CEO Clark Hunt
said at the time. We just felt the
inconsistent play the team has
experienced throughout the sea-
son, including yesterdays game,
made today the right day to do
it.
After three lopsided losses to
start the season, Kansas City rat-
tled off four straight wins and
briefly pulled into a tie atop the
AFC West. But that was followed
by a home loss to previously win-
less Miami, the start of a disas-
trous six weeks in which the loss-
es mounted.
Weve had one of those years
where weve had injuries, and in-
juries to key players, but thats
typical in the National Football
League, Hunt said then. As a
team, you have to find a way to
overcome that, and we just we-
rent able to do that this year. Our
play was up and down the entire
season and at times it was up and
down during a given game, and I
think those contributed to our
decision.
Less than a year before he was
fired, Haley led the Chiefs to the
greatest single-season turn-
around in franchise history, win-
ning the division title by record-
ing six more victories than in
2009.

LAUSANNE, Switzerland
The World Anti-Doping Agency
on Tuesday urged U.S. federal
authorities to quickly hand over
evidence collected in their leng-
thy probe into seven-time Tour
de France winner Lance Arm-
strong and doping in American
cycling.
WADA president John Fahey
saidfederal agencies inthe Unit-
ed States gathered significant
evidence in the criminal inves-
tigation that was abruptly
closedlast weekwithnocharges
filed and no explanation given.
Fahey said it would be very,
very helpful if that information
was handed over to the U.S An-
ti-Doping Agency. That agency
has said it will continue its own
probe into doping in cycling.
Federal prosecutors dropped
the investigation of Armstrong
last Friday, ending a nearly two-
year effort aimed at determin-
ing whether the worlds most fa-
mous cyclist and his teammates
joined in a doping program dur-
ing his most successful years.
There has been significant
evidence taken on anti-doping
areas, on what may have oc-
curred in the way of doping. It
would be very, very helpful if
that information was handed
over, Fahey said of the U.S.
probe that was led by federal
agent Jeff Novitzky, who also in-
vestigated baseball players Bar-
ry Bonds and Roger Clemens.
The United States anti-dop-
ing organization is keen to get
hold of that evidence and we
wouldliketoseethat happenbe-
cause there could well be some
very relevant information
there, Fahey said.
WADAs director general, Da-
vid Howman, noted that U.S.
federal agencies previously
shared evidence gathered in
their probe of the Bay Area Lab-
oratory Co-Operative steroid
distribution ring that brought
down American sprinter Ma-
rion Jones and others.
He said WADA anticipates
that evidence from the Arm-
strong probe will be shared in
the same way and expressed
hope that could be done in the
six months before the London
Olympics open in July.
It is important that that hap-
pen as quickly as possible, just
in case there are athletes who
might be looking at going to
London and where there is evi-
dence in relation to them, he
said.
WADAs code has an eight-
year statute of limitations for
doping offenses. That raises
questions about whether USA-
DA would be able to make full
use of evidence gathered in the
federal probe and, if needed, ini-
tiate proceedings against Arm-
strongor anyother rider for sup-
posed offenses that may have
happened before 2004. The fed-
eral probe was thought to have
focused on the period when
Armstrong rode for the U.S.
Postal cycling team until 2004.
He is now retired.
But Howman cited the case of
American runner and Olympian
Eddy Hellebuyck to suggest
that there can be exceptions to
the eight-year limit.
Last week, USADA an-
nounced that a U.S. arbitration
panel had invalidated Helle-
buycks results fromOct. 1, 2001,
to2004, whenhewas bannedfor
two years for testing positive for
the banned performance enhan-
cer EPO. At that time, he insist-
ed he had not used perform-
ance-enhancing drugs.
But in 2010, Hellebuyck ac-
knowledged using EPO since
2001. Basedonthat andother in-
formation, the panel last week
ruled that all of his competition
results dating back to October
2001shouldalsobe disqualified.
The panel rejected Hellebuycks
argument that the statute of lim-
itations should safeguard those
results.
They were able to prosecute
him for something that took
place in2001, in2012, Howman
said. The statute of limitations
is there, but the interpretation
of how it works depends on the
facts of each individual case.
Fahey added: Circumstances
may exist that allow the rule to
be set aside.

LEXINGTON, Ky. Fresh-

13 points and 13 rebounds and
top-ranked Kentucky easily
passed its toughest Southeast-
ern Conference test to date with
a 78-58 victory over No. 8 Flor-
ida on Tuesday night.
The Wildcats (24-1, 10-0) have
won 49 straight at home and
matched their best start in
league play since 2005 thanks to
three freshmen starters who
have jelled into a formidable
defense to go along with their
high-powered offense
Doron Lamb scored 18 points
and Anthony Davis added 16 for
Kentucky, which won its 16th
straight overall and ended Flor-
idas run of seven consecutive
wins.
Kenny Boynton led the Gators
(19-5, 7-2) with 18 points, but
the team with the nations most
3-pointers this season went 6 of
27 from behind the arc and shot
34.9 percent overall from the
field.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. Colt
Ryans 17-footer with 3:08 to

The nations best shooting
team was out of sync all night
and wound up losing a second
straight game for the first time
this season. Creighton (21-4,
11-3 Missouri Valley Confer-
ence) was led by Doug McDer-

SYRACUSE, N.Y. Deve-

beat Syracuse.
It was the 21st straight win for
Notre Dame (24-1, 11-0 Big
East) and improved its road
record to 12-1 against Syracuse
(15-10, 4-7), which lost at home
by 41 points to No. 3 Connecti-
cut two weeks ago.
Skylar Diggins, the Irishs
leading scorer, finished with 11
points, all in the second half.
She scored five straight points

PHILADELPHIAEvgeni
Nabokov made 45 saves and
Frans Nielsen and John Tavares
scored on Ilya Bryzgalov in a
shootout, helping the NewYork
Islanders beat the Philadelphia
Flyers 1-0 on Tuesday night.
Nabokov was sensational,
turning aside every shot he faced
including two in the shoo-
tout.
The last-place Islanders are
6-1-2 in their last nine games and
11-5-2 in their past 18.
Coming off losses to New
Jersey and the NewYork Rang-
ers last weekend, the Flyers
hoped to rebound against a team
they used to dominate. But they
couldnt get one past Nabokov.
Nielsen scored on the first shot
in the shootout. After Nabokov
stopped Danny Briere, Tavares
fired one past Bryzgalov. Nabo-
kov then stuffed Wayne Sim-
monds to end it.
Devils1, Rangers 0
NEWYORKMartin Bro-
deur stopped 30 shots for his
first shutout of the season and
the record117th of his NHL
career, and the NewJersey Dev-
ils beat the Eastern Conference-
leading NewYork Rangers for
their fifth consecutive win.
Brodeur was sharp and steady
throughout, despite going sever-
al stretches without facing much
action. David Clarkson gave him
all the offense he needed with a
first-period, power-play goal.
Brodeur made it stand for the
Devils, who didnt need any help
fromIlya Kovalchuk, who had
three points in each of his previ-
ous three games.
The Rangers appeared to
score the tying goal with 3.5
seconds left, but it was disal-
lowed because Marian Gaborik
was called for goalie interference
when he crashed into Brodeur in
the crease after being shoved
frombehind by NewJersey
defenseman Anton Volchenkov.
Canadiens 3, Penguins 2
MONTREAL Tomas Pleka-
nec scored on Montreals eighth
attempt in the shootout to lead
the Canadiens to a win over the
Pittsburgh Penguins.
Carey Price made 32 saves
during regulation and then stop-
ped six of eight Pittsburgh shoo-
ters in the tiebreaker, including
Jason Williams on the Penguins
final attempt.
Evgeni Malkin used a spin-
around move to convert Pitts-
burghs second attempt after
Rene Bourque shot and scored
on Montreals first.
Montreals Lars Eller and
Pittsburghs Chris Kunitz both
scored in the fifth round.
The Canadiens, who beat
Winnipeg 3-0 on Sunday, won for
just the second time in nine
shootouts this season.
Capitals 4, Panthers 0
WASHINGTONMathieu
Perreault scored with13 seconds
elapsed, Alex Ovechkin had two
goals and the Washington Cap-
itals beat the Florida Panthers to
take over first place in the South-
east Division.
Former Panthers goalie Tomas
Vokoun stopped 42 shots in his
fourth shutout of the season, the
second against Florida.
Jason Chimera contributed a
goal and an assist to help the
Capitals supplant the Panthers
atop the division. Washington
has 60 points and Florida is at 59
with a game in hand.
Winning the Southeast title is
imperative to both teams, be-
cause the runner-up may not end
up among the eight Eastern
Conference teams that qualify
for the playoffs.
With the win, the Capitals
jumped fromninth place to the
third seed. And nowFlorida is
ninth, on the outside looking in.
Blue Jackets 3, Wild1
COLUMBUS, Ohio Rookie
defenseman David Savard scored
his first career goal and added an
assist to lift the Blue Jackets past
the Minnesota Wild and give
Columbus Todd Richards a win
in his first game as coach against
his former team.
Antoine Vermette added a
power-play goal and Jeff Carter
scored his second goal in as
many games after missing10
with a shoulder injury for Co-
lumbus.
Curtis Sanford made 28 saves
to improve to10-12-4.
Richards was 77-71-16 with the
Wild from2009-11before being
fired last April. He is 4-7-1for
Columbus since taking over for
Scott Arniel on Jan. 9.
Nate Prosser scored his first
career goal for Minnesota.
Niklas Backstrommade 34
saves for the Wild.
Kings 3, Lightning1
TAMPA, Fla. Kyle Clifford
and Dustin Penner had second-
period goals to lead the Los
Angeles Kings past the Tampa
Bay Lightning.
After withstanding pressure in
the defensive end, the Kings

Beacon buyout approved
A Delaware bankruptcy judge on
Tuesday approved a private equity
firms $30 million offer for an alterna-
tive energy company that failed despite
a $39 million government loan.
Rockland Capital was the winning
bidder at an auction last week for as-
sets of Beacon Power Corp., which
makes flywheel energy storage systems
that keep power frequency steady on
electrical grids.
The company was awarded a $24
million Smart Grid stimulus grant in
2009 to build a facility in Hazle Town-
ship. Plans for facility are still on track,
said Beacon CEO F. William Capp, who
plans to stay with the reorganized
company.
Borrowing rises again
Americans accelerated their borrow-
ing in December for the second
straight month, running up more credit
card debt and taking out loans to buy
cars and attend school.
Consumer borrowing rose by $19.3
billion in December after a $20.4 bil-
lion gain in November, the Federal
Reserve said Tuesday. The two in-
creases were the biggest monthly gains
in a decade.
Total consumer borrowing is now at
a seasonally adjusted $2.5 trillion. That
nearly matches the pre-recession bor-
rowing level. And it is up 4.4 percent
from the September 2010 post-reces-
sion low.
Job openings on increase
Companies and governments posted
3.38 million jobs in December, the
Labor Department said Tuesday. Thats
up from the 3.12 million advertised in
the previous month and nearly matches
the three-year high reached in Septem-
ber.
Job openings in the private sector
reached the highest point in almost
three and a half years.
Manufacturers, retailers and profes-
sional and business services all posted
gains.
Citi charging into China
New York-based Citigroup an-
nounced Monday that it will become
the second foreign bank, and the first
Western one, allowed to issue its own
credit card in China. The news came
about 10 months after the World Trade
Organization said it would investigate
a U.S. complaint about Chinese curbs
on credit-card payment processing.

ILKES-BARRE TWP.
Thursdays ribbon-cutting
will make it official, but
school is already in session
for the first class of students at the new-
est McCann School of Business and
Technology near the Mohegan Sun Are-
na.
Classes beganJan. 18inmedical, legal,
business and information technology ar-
easof studyaswell asthegrowingfieldof
massage therapy, Campus Director T.J.
Eltringham said. The noon ribbon-cut-
ting ceremony kicks off a day of celebra-
tions for the new school, he said, which
will host a Greater Wilkes-Barre Cham-
ber of Commerce mixer later in the day.
The 22,000-square-foot campus
houses 10 classrooms and features three
medical labs, a computer lab, a library
and student lounge, Eltringham said.
Theres also space for something that he
said is very important to the McCann
way of training: career services and job
placement.
Were very proud of our ability to
work with students and help themwhen
it comes time to find a job, Eltringham
said. Many of our students have jobs be-
fore they graduate.
Theschool offers bothdiplomaandas-
sociates degree programs, he said, and
attracts a mix of students, from recent
highschool graduates tothose whohave
beenout of school for some time, as well
aspeopledisplacedfromjobsandinneed
of new training to compete in a tough
employment market.
McCanns advantage is that we offer
short-term, career-focused and hands-on
training classes, with several class starts
a year, Eltringham said. Our students
dont have to wait to start, they arent
boggeddownwithalot of general educa-
tionclasses that maybearent as interest-
ing to them, and when they are done,
they are very employable.
Eltringham, a Kingston resident with
seven years experience with McCann
throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania,
saidheis excitedtohavea McCannpres-
ence in Wilkes-Barre.
Some people dont realize were not a
new school. McCann has been around
since1897 and has been in Pennsylvania
a long time, he said. Were official part-
ners withCareer Linkandwewerework-

Eltringham said anyone interested in
McCanns Wilkes-Barre programs can
call 570-235-2200 or visit the school be-
tween 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.

EDWARDSVILLE Redners
Warehouse Market will not reopen
in the Mark Plaza shopping center
off Route 11, a company spokesman
said Tuesday.
The store has been shuttered
since the September flood, and last
week the sign on the building was
taken down. Redners spokesman
Eric B. White saidTuesday the com-
pany has ended its lease with Mark
Plaza owner Acadia Realty.
The grocery store suffered water
damage and lost inventory when it
was inundated in the flood, and
White said the cost of flood insur-
ance and the risk of future flooding
played into the companys decision
to close.
The cost of operating that store
within a known flood zone is cost
prohibitive for us, White said, add-
ing we certainly thank the custom-
ers for the support we had at that lo-
cation. It was not an easy decision
for us to come to.
White said the store, which
opened in 1997, had been flooded
three times in the last decade.
Redners is considering reloca-
tion to other sites in the area, but
none has been selected and it isnt
likely a new store will open locally
in the next year, White said. All em-
ployees of the Edwardsville market
were offered positions at other
Redners stores in the region.
The 216,000-square-foot Mark
Plaza complex was home to more
than a half-dozen businesses before
the flood, but only the Long John
Silvers in the parking lot has reo-
pened.
Kmart, the plazas other anchor
tenant, is under construction in
preparation to reopen, but other
tenants, including shoe discount
chain Payless, have indicated they
will not return to the shopping cen-
ter.
Edwardsville Mayor Bernard Du-
baskas said borough residents will
miss shopping at Redners and the
borough will miss the tax revenue it
supplied, but he is optimistic about
Redners or another grocer moving
in nearby.
The nearby Gateway Shopping
Center has ample roomfor a grocer
or big box retailer and he is hopeful
it will be occupied soon. That loca-
tion is easily accessible, has ample
parking and, unlike Mark Plaza, is
protected by the Wyoming Valley
levee, Dubaskas said.
In the meantime, Dubaskas said
he hopes ongoing construction at
Kmart provides needed employ-
ment for local workers.
Hopefully some of the people
around here will get jobs, he said.

WASHINGTONA federal appeals
court ruled Tuesday that seniors who
receive Social Security cannot reject
their legal right toMedicarebenefits, in
a rare case of Americans suing to get
out of a government entitlement.
Former House Majority Leader Dick
Armey is among the five senior citizens
who sued to stop their automatic eligi-
bility for Medicare. But the appeals
court ruled in a split decision that the
law gives them no way to opt out of
their eligibility if they want to keep
their Social Security benefits.
Armey, a Texas GOP, and his co-
plaintiffs say their private insurers limit
their coverage because they are eligible
for Medicare, but they would prefer the
coverage from their private insurers.
Judges Brett Kavanaugh and Dou-
glas Ginsburg, bothRepublicanappoin-
tees, agreed with the Obama adminis-
tration that the lawsays those over age
65 who enroll in Social Security are au-
tomatically entitled to Medicare Part
A, which covers services including hos-
pital, nursing home care, hospice and
home health care.
The case is being funded by a group
called The Fund For Personal Liberty,
which says its purpose is to take on bur-
densome government regulations. At-
torney Kent Brown, who argued the
case for the plaintiffs, say they want to
keep their Social Security because they
believe they earnedit, but none of them
want Medicare Part A.

Theres really no
reason to get
too excited
about the
prospect of snow
here later today.
However, since
its been 17 days
since we last
saw some, I cant
blame you for
getting a little
anxious. A light
snow should
arrive this after-
noon, then end
before midnight.
Total accumula-
tions will range
up to one inch
with the event
lasting as all
snow. Both
Thursday and
Friday look gor-
geous, then
early Saturday
an arctic cold
front will arrive
with a period of
snow. Gusty
north winds will
follow, sending
temperatures on
a nosedive
Saturday night.
So sit back and
relax. It could
certainly be a lot
worse.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: Low pressure will move quickly through the Mid-Atlantic and out to sea today,
leaving a few rain and snow showers behind it. A few showers will be possible over southern Florida,
with a few more over the southern tip of Texas. A storm system to the northwest will result in rain
and mountain snow over western Washington.

TASTE S E C T I O N C
THE TIMES LEADER WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2012
timesleader.com
ONE OF MY FAVORITE
things about working as a chef
is getting introduced to new
flavors, dishes and styles of
cooking. However, I have the
most fun trying
to re-create
something Ive
tasted without
knowing the
specific ingre-
dients. Doing
this adds a
sense of fun and adventure in
my cooking.
This dish is one of those I have
experienced in the past but want-
ed to make my own. I accom-
plished this by re-creating a sauce
I previously tasted, by adding the
glaze and pistachios. I added the
cayenne to the glaze to bring a
low level of heat to combat the
sweetness of the peanut butter.
The pistachios add a whole new
crunchy texture to the chicken,
and the sauce balances with the
glaze to bring everything togeth-
er nicely. This light yet flavorful
dish offers an escape from tradi-
tional chicken dishes. If you like
peanut butter as much as I do,
you will love this dish
If you would rather enjoy my
creation without the work, Van-
derlyns will offer Pistachio
Peanut-Coated Chicken today,
Thursday and Friday during
lunch service. For reservations
or additional features call Van-
derlyns at 283-6260. Our web-
site is www.vanderlyns.com.

PISTACHIO
PEANUT-COATED CHICKEN
Yield: 2 servings.
Ingredients
Chicken
2 chicken breasts, boneless,
skinless, cut in half
Salt and white pepper, to taste.
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons pistachio kernels,
shelled and crushed
Glaze
6 ounces creamy peanut butter
1 ounce chunky peanut butter
1 ounce butter
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
One-half teaspoon ground ginger
2 ounces heavy cream
Sauce
3 ounces creamy peanut butter
One-half teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon butter

Method of preparation
Glaze
1. Combine both peanut butters
with butter in a sauce pan over low
heat, stirring occasionally until
they melt and blend together.
2. Add seasonings and stir well.
3. Raise heat to medium, add
cream, simmer one minute and
reserve for assembly of dish.
Method of preparation
Sauce
1. Combine all ingredients in sauce
pan over mediumheat, stirring to
thoroughly blend together.
2. Reserve for assembly of dish.
Chicken
1. Season chicken breasts with
salt and pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in saut pan,
sear chicken evenly, approximately
1-2 minutes per side.
3. Coat chicken with glaze and
bake in 350 F oven for 8-10 minutes.
4. Remove chicken from oven
and sprinkle with pistachios, return
to oven until 165 F internal temper-
ature is achieved, approximately
5-7 minutes.
Plating of the dish
1. Place sauce on pre-heated dinner
plate and chicken on top of sauce.
I accompanied the dish with
whipped potatoes and vegetables,
but it is very adaptable to your
choice of accompaniments.

I
ts Valentines Day again, and I just
want to remind people there are al-
ternatives to chocolate when it comes
to showing your love.
Because lets face it, at any given time
many of us are on diets or at least watch-
ing what were eating. And a box of choco-
lates isnt exactly
helping out.
So if youre looking
for a romantic Valen-
tines Day gift thats
truly from the heart,
why not give the
best gift of all: a mouth-watering, healthy
meal you make yourself?
This recipe is my version of a trendy
dish served in restaurants across the coun-

like this will cost you around 680 calories

Rocco DiSpiritos recipe for Valentines Day surf and turf cobbler is thickened
with a sweet puree of beets, instead of the usual butter, cream and flour.
Warm and creamy, au gratin
are perfect for a cold winter
night. And what better way to
say I love you than with a little
indulgence of seafood and
cream?
This dish goes together with
just a little effort, and you end
up with an impressive and deli-
cious dinner for two. Serve with
crusty bread and a green salad
dressed with a drizzle of olive
Servings: 2
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small sweet potato, peeled and
grated (about 2 cups)
1/4 cup grated yellow onion
2 teaspoons chopped fresh
thyme
Salt and ground black pepper
3 ounces haddock or other white
fish
4 ounces cooked lobster meat
(about a 1 1/4-pound lobster)
4 ounces raw shrimp, peeled and
deveined
oil, a squeeze of lemon juice, sea
salt and ground black pepper.

SEAFOOD AU GRATIN
Some grocers and seafood
markets sell frozen lobster meat.
Thats the easiest way to get it for
this dish. Alternatively, ask for a 1
1/4-pound lobster at the grocer and
have them steam it for you while
you shop. That size lobster should
produce about 4 ounces of cooked
meat.
Start to finish: 45 minutes

See COBBLER, Page 3C
Save yourself some
trouble and ask to
have your lobster
steamed for you while
you shop. The seafood
department at most
grocers will do this for
free. Some will even
remove the meat from
the shell for you.
TIP
A rich Valentines Day thanks to seafood and cream

4 ounces bay scallops
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon butter, melted
Heat the oven to 375 F. Place 2
shallow ramekins or gratin dishes
on a sheet pan and lightly coat
with cooking spray.
In a small saute pan over medi-
um, heat the olive oil. Add the
grated sweet potato and onion.
Cook until tender, about 7 to 8
minutes. Stir in the thyme and
season with salt and black pepper.
Divide the mixture between the
two baking dishes, spreading it
evenly across the bottom.
Cut up the fish and lobster into
bite-size pieces. Arrange the fish,
lobster, shrimp and scallops
over the sweet potato mix-
ture. Sprinkle with salt and
pour the cream over the
seafood.
In a small bowl, combine
the panko, paprika and a
pinch of salt. Pour the butter
over the mixture and toss to
coat. Sprinkle the panko
mixture over the seafood.
Bake until the cream is
bubbling, about 12 to 15
minutes. Let cool slightly
before serving.

downsized that to just 330 calo-

I did this by turning the pie into
a cobbler, which means the crust
is only on top. And my crust is
made from a lower-calorie pan-
cake mix that gives you the taste
of a pot pie, but without all the
fattening richness of typical
crusts. Ive also added in lean
beef tenderloin, making this a
true surf and turf delight.
I saved you plenty of fat by
thickening this dish with a
delicious and pleasantly sweet
puree of beets, instead of the
usual butter, cream and flour.
VALENTINES DAY
SURF AND TURF COBBLER
Start to finish: 45 minutes (30
minutes active)
Servings: 2
1 1/4-pound live lobster
4 ounces fresh asparagus spears
(12 to 16 spears, depending on
thickness), trimmed and cut
into 1-inch pieces
3 ounces beef tenderloin, cut
into 8 cubes
Salt and ground black pepper
141/2-ounce can red beets with
liquid
16 pumps butter spray
1 tablespoon fresh tarragon,
chopped
2/3 cup Bisquick Heart Smart
Pancake and Baking Mix
1/4 cup water
2 teaspoons prepared horse-
radish
In a large stockpot, bring six
quarts of water to a boil. Set a
bowl of ice water nearby.
Submerge the lobster in the boil-
ing water, then return the water to a
boil. Cook the lobster for four min-
utes, adding the asparagus to the
water for the last two minutes. Use a
slotted spoon to transfer the aspara-
gus to the ice water to cool for two
minutes, then transfer to a kitchen
towel to dry. Remove the lobster
fromthe water and place on a sheet
pan. Let cool until easy to handle.
Heat a medium nonstick skillet
over high.
Season the beef with salt and
pepper, then spritz the pan with
cooking spray and add the beef
to the pan. Cook for one to two
minutes, or until the outsides are
well browned and the centers are
rare, turning once. Transfer the
beef to a small plate and set
aside.
Drain the beets, reserving 1/4 cup
of the liquid. Cut two-thirds of the
drained beets (about one cup) into
bite-size pieces (save the remaining
beets for another use). Add half of
the beet pieces to a blender along
with the 1/4 cup of reserved liquid.
Cover and blend until smooth.
Add the 16 pumps of butter
spray and cover and blend again
just until combined. Pour the
pureed beets into a medium bowl
and add the remaining chopped
beets. Add the asparagus to the
beet mixture along with the
cooked beef cubes and fresh
tarragon.
Heat the oven to 400 F.
Remove the meat from the
lobster and cut into bite-size piec-
es. Add to the beet mixture and
stir until well combined. Season
with salt and pepper. Spoon the
mixture evenly into a 1-quart oven-
safe glass bowl or souffle dish.
In a medium bowl, mix the pan-
cake mix and water. Drop the
dough into six small mounds over
the lobster mixture. Bake for 15
minutes, or until the top is
browned and the filling is heated
through. Remove and top with
horseradish.

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: My boy-
friend, Brady, broke
up with me in No-
vember. Five weeks
later he became
engaged to someone
else. I found out after
that I have genital
warts. My yearly exams never showed
any problems before, so I know I got
them from Brady. Im getting treat-
ment now, but Ill be contagious for
the rest of my life.
I have been unable to tell Brady
about this because he wont respond
to my attempts to contact him. Im
now trying to decide if I should tell
his fiancee. I know he wants children,
and this disease can have some
serious repercussions if she gets
pregnant.
Do I leave this woman in the dark,
or should I give her the medical in-
formation she and her doctors should
have?
Needs to Do the Right Thing in
New York
Dear Needs To Do The Right Thing:
Five weeks into a relationship is a
whirlwind courtship, unless Brady
was cheating on you with his fiancee
before your breakup. If thats the case,
she may be the person who infected
Brady.
Since he wont respond to you,
send him a registered letter informing
him of your diagnosis, and any other
information about genital warts you
feel is relevant. If youre worried that
the fiancee is in the dark about this,
send her a copy also by registered
mail. That way youll know it was
received.
Dear Abby: I am the product of an
interracial relationship from the late
60s. My maternal grandmother want-
ed nothing to do with me and made
my teenage mother give me up for
adoption. Before my biological moth-
er passed away a few years ago, her
dying wish was for my grandmother
and me to form a relationship. She
didnt want her mother to be alone in
her final years.
I made an attempt to forge a rela-
tionship with my grandmother only
to be told that she didnt like me
because of the color of my skin. Since
then, I have been having bad dreams
of my mother being disappointed in
me because I didnt fulfill her wish.
Please advise me on what I should do.
Unaccepted in North Carolina
Dear Unaccepted: It takes two peo-
ple to form a relationship. By reach-
ing out to your grandmother, you
did the best you could to fulfill your
mothers wish which, from your
description of your grandmother,
was an unfair burden to try to place
on you. Theres no reason for you to
court another round of rejection and,
for your sake, Im advising you not to.
It may help to write a letter to your
mother, explaining to her what hap-
pened when you reached out to your
grandmother and how it felt, then
read it at her grave. But please, stop
blaming yourself for your grandmoth-
ers inability to love.
For everything you need to know
about wedding planning, order How
to Have a Lovely Wedding. Send
your name and mailing address, plus
check or money order for $7 (U.S.
funds) to: Dear Abby, Wedding Book-
let, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL

ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Perfection is impossible, though
it makes you feel good to work
toward your ideal scenario. One
small step will make a world of
difference. It beats focusing on
everything thats wrong!
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Instead
of competing on a subconscious
level, bring it out in the open.
Consider setting up a kind of
contest, complete with real rules
and rewards.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Youll
enjoy the bit of pretention that
spices up todays social interac-
tions. It adds just the element of
ridiculousness that will have you
remembering this time and talk-
ing about it for years to come.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You
may be feeling shyer than usual,
which produces an attractive
glow of mystery around you.
Youll love how someone draws
you out of your shell and makes
you feel special and valued.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A friend will
figure strongly into the days
action. There is always a bit
of chaos around this person
sometimes intriguingly so and
other times annoyingly so. Youll
have to decide how deeply you
should get involved.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Kidding
is a form of love. Youll find a
way to make someone you care
about blush, giggle or get a little
bit flustered. This sweet impres-
sion will last a lifetime.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). One
significant difference between
people and zoo animals is that
people often get to design their
own cages. Choose the one that
gives you the most space.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You like
seeing how others live, and youll
enjoy todays peek into a lifestyle
thats similar to yours, with a
few obvious differences. Reserve
judgment, and learn all you can.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
There are those who want you
when they need something and
until then are quite scarce. You
know the type, and youre care-
ful not to present yourself in
such a manner to anyone else.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Enthusiasm and determination
are traits that will carry you
far in any endeavor. In order to
maintain these qualities, you
must be continually inspired.
It may not occur naturally, so
arrange for it.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You
have friends and well-wishers,
but even the best of them will
sometimes fall down on the job.
Take steps to develop a spiritual
belief and practice that supports
you in good times and bad.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There
are those who will give you gifts
that are more beneficial to them
than they are to you. Youll feel
good around the ones who really
do appreciate you.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Feb. 8).
Satisfaction is close at hand.
Youll feel free to express your
true feelings, and youll use your
talents for a high purpose. The
shoes you are asked to fill in
March may not be big exactly,
but they sure are fancy. A secret
admirer becomes known in
August. Pisces and Taurus peo-
ple adore you. Your lucky num-
bers are: 43, 1, 22, 36 and 14.
