Luzerne County’s home rule
charter caps property tax reve-
nue increases, which will limit
options if the new county coun-
cil wants to raise taxes to avoid
or minimize inherited staff cuts
for 2012.
The 2012 budget proposed by
outgoing commissioners re-
quires mass layoffs
because it reduces
overall spending
by $3.5 million
while coveringmil-
lions of dollars in
rising costs for
workers’ compensation, debt
and union-negotiated raises.
The charter says budgeted
property tax revenue can’t be
more than 8 percent higher than
the previous year unless county
council convinces a county judge
that a higher increase is warrant-
ed.
The county budgeted $89.37
million in property tax revenue
this year. An 8 percent increase
would allow the council to bud-
get up to $7.15 million more, or
$96.52 million, next year.
However, the outgoing com-
missioners already factored in a
6 percent, or $5.3 million, prop-
erty tax revenue increase in the
proposed 2012 budget without
raising taxes.
Commissioners said this pro-
jectedgrowthis realistic because

DALLAS TWP. – Embattled
Dallas High School football
coach Ted Jackson will reapply
for the position he has held for
27 years.
The Dallas School Board vot-
ed 8-1 on Dec 12 to open the
position, stating Jackson could
reapply for the post.
“I’ve decided
to reapply,” he
said Tuesday.
“It’s a right I
have, and after
27 years, I feel
I deserve a
shot.”
Jackson, 60,
said he con-
sulted with
his attorney,
Kimberly D.
Borland, who
advised him of
his right to
reapply.
“The school
board said I
can reapply,
so I will do
that,” he said.
“I’ve also re-
quested a ter-
mination hear-
ing, but I
haven’t heard
back from the
school dis-
trict.”
School Board President Cath-
erine Wega said Jackson was not
terminated.
“We opened the position,” she
said. “There is a huge difference
between opening the position
and termination.”
Jackson received an unfavor-
able performance review from
high school Principal Jeffrey
Shaffer earlier this month.
Wega said Dallas has opened
positions in the past, an option
she said the board has available
to decide if it wants to retain an
employee or look for other can-
didates.
Wega said she would be “sur-
prised” if Jackson is the only
candidate to apply for the foot-
ball position. She said that has
never happened at Dallas in the
past.
“If there is only one applicant,
we will cross that bridge when
we get there,” Wega said. “But
we have always had several ap-
plicants in the past when posi-
tions were opened.”

WASHINGTON — The House
Tuesday rejected legislation to
extend a payroll tax cut and job-
less benefits for two months,
drawinga swift rebuke fromPres-
ident Barack Obama that Repub-
licans were threatening higher
taxes on 160 million workers on
Jan. 1.
Obama, inanappearanceinthe
White House briefing room after
the House vote, said the two-
month compromise is the only
way to stop payroll taxes fromgo-
ing up by two percentage points.
“Now let’s be clear,” Obama
said in a surprise appearance in
the White House briefing room.
“The bipartisancompromise that
was reached on Saturday is the
only viable way to prevent a tax
hike on January 1st. The only
one.”
Obama said failure to pass the
Senate version of the payroll tax
cut extensioncouldendanger the
U.S. economic recovery, which
he described as “fragile but mov-
ing in the right direction.”
House Republicans controlling
the chamber want instead imme-
diate negotiations on a year-long
plan with the Senate — where

talks until the House passes the

KINGSTON TWP. – Dallas
Township police and the Lu-
zerne County Drug Task Force
charged a man with selling mar-
ijuana from a house connected
to a double homicide.
Michael David Dompkosky,
19, of Wyoming, was identified
by township police as the man
who was seen exchanging mari-
juana for cash at 479 Mount Ol-
ivet Road in Kingston Township
on Nov. 24, 2010, according to
charges filed.
Authorities searched the
house on Jan. 8 after conducting
several marijuana purchases
from the house and learning
there were juveniles in a bed-
room with a large amount of
marijuana, according to the
search warrant affidavit.
An inventory receipt to the
search warrant alleged author-
ities found $6,000 in cash, a
pound of marijuana and contra-
band to weigh, package and de-
liver illegal drugs inside the
house.
Dompkosky was charged with
two counts each of possession
with intent to deliver a con-
trolled substance and criminal
conspiracy, and one count each
of possession of a controlled
substance and possession of
drug paraphernalia.
The charges were filed with
District Judge James Tupper
and mailed to Dompkosky on
Monday.
Authorities also arrested Ali
Abualburak, 19, on charges he
sold marijuana from the house
on Nov. 24, Dec. 30 and Jan. 7.
His trial on multiple drug of-
fenses is scheduled next month
before Senior Judge Joseph Au-
gello.
Abualburak admitted to au-
thorities that he sold marijuana
from the house mostly to high
school and college students in
the Back Mountain and earning
$400 a day in sales, according to
arrest records.
The Mount Olivet Road
house was formerly a residence
of Hugo Selenski, who is ac-
cused in killing two people and
burying their bodies on the
property in May 2002.
Selenski is facing a capital
murder trial for the homicides.
A preliminary hearing for
Dompkosky is scheduled on
Jan. 12.

YATESVILLE -- Pittston Area
School District Superintendent
George Cosgrove on Tuesday
night addressed the controversy
that has sprung up around the
district’s hiring policy as a result
of action taken at a meeting earli-
er this month.
Cosgrove said he will be con-
sulting with district administra-
tive officials to research the stan-
dards and hiring practices of oth-
er districts before developing a
comprehensive policy that he
will be able to present to the
board.
In January 2011, the board
unanimously adopted a new hir-
ing policy, but at a reorganiza-
tional meeting on Dec. 6, the
board, featuring three new board
members, voted 6-3 to repeal the
new policy and revert to the old
one.
Under the new policy, candi-
dates appeared before a selection
committee and received grades
based on college grade-point av-
erage, job experience, subject
knowledge, communication
skills and other criteria.
On Tuesday, Cosgrove said
there had been a popular miscon-
ception the newpolicy was strict-
ly an anti-nepotism policy. He
said the anti-nepotism language
in the old and new policy was ex-
actly the same.
He said the main difference
was that the new policy specifi-
cally stated the top three candi-
dates from a pool of potential
hires will be considered.
Those candidates are deter-
mined from a specific scoring re-
gimen that includes experience,
state-administered Praxis test
scores and whether the candi-
date is a district resident, among
other indicators.
The former policy, in place
since 1996, placed a greater em-
phasis on the role of the superin-
tendent in recommending possi-
ble new hires. There was no spe-
cific scoring process.
Board President Anthony Gua-
riglia said he supported the new
hiring policy in January but now
believes there are areas where it
could be improved.
He noted the new policy did
not give any points to candidates
based on recommendation let-
ters.
Several other board members
took issue with the fact that 20 of
a possible 425 points were auto-
matically given to candidates
who were district residents.
In other business, the board
voted to keep any possible tax in-
creases withinthe state approved
inflation index of 2.2 percent.
A preliminary 2012-2013 bud-
get prepared by business consult-
ant Al Melone shows a potential
deficit of nearly $1.8 million,
which would be partially offset
by a general fund balance of just
over $1.6 million.
Melone said the biggest ex-
penses are insurance and person-
nel.

Superintendent says practices
in other districts will be

HARVEYS LAKE – Borough
Council on Tuesday night adopt-
ed a $1,313,525 budget for 2012
without raising taxes.
Instead, council members will
forgo their monthly stipends for
the year to help eliminate a def-
icit.
The seven council members
are paid a total of $13,105 a year.
The expected expenses for
2012 are $1,327,131, leaving a
$13,606 deficit.
Last year’s budget was
$1,336,675.
Council President Francis Kop-
ko noted the council members
would not take any pay for the
year, and the budget itself notes
there is nomoney under council’s
pay.
According to Kopko, residents
who are delinquent with their re-
al estate taxes and/or trash col-
lectionfees are a major reasonfor
the deficit.
In other business, Mayor Clar-
ence Hogan announced that
among the traffic stops over the
Thanksgiving holiday weekend,
86 resulted in tickets for not
wearing seatbelts, three in DUIs
and one in drug charges.
Richard Williams III of the
Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation reported work is
still under wayonOldLake Road.
Williams also said the trucks are

WILKES-BARRE
Mericle hearing set for Jan.
A
federal judge has scheduled a
hearing for Jan. 6 regarding the
proposed $17.75 million settlement of
the “kids for cash”
lawsuits filed against
real estate developer
Robert Mericle.
The tentative set-
tlement, reached last
week, must be ap-
proved by U.S. Dis-
trict Judge A. Richard
Caputo, who directed
attorneys in the case to appear at 10:30
a.m. at the federal courthouse in
Wilkes-Barre to discuss legal matters
relating to the case.
The settlement calls for payments to
juveniles ranging from $500 to $5,000,
dependent upon various factors, in-
cluding whether they were incarcerat-
ed at the PA Child Care or Western PA
Child Care juvenile detention centers.
Parents will also be able to recoup
costs they paid toward their child’s
incarceration.
Attorneys have estimated that 2,400
juveniles are eligible to receive pay-
ment.
LUZERNE COUNTY
Flood estate sues board
The estate of former Luzerne County
controller Steve Flood has filed a law-
suit against the Luzerne County Retire-
ment Board seeking payment of legal
fees to fight a defamation suit.
The defamation
suit, filed by former
county pension fund
money manager AS-
CO Financial Group
Inc. over statements
made by Flood on a
November 2002 radio
program, was discon-
tinued in November,
four months after Flood’s death.
The Philadelphia-based Schnader,
Harrison, Segal & Lewis sued Flood
and his partner and guardian, Heather
Paulhamus, in 2010, seeking $205,696
in legal fees for representing him in the
defamation suit.
The county Retirement Board had
initially voted to pay for Flood’s legal
defense in the libel suit but reversed
the decision shortly after Flood lost his
bid for re-election in 2005. The latest
suit, filed by lawyers at Brady & Gra-
bowski, P.C., argues that the Retire-
ment Board owed Flood a defense and
representation.
Retirement Board members Ma-
ryanne Petrilla, Thomas Cooney, Ste-
phen A. Urban, Walter Griffith and
Michael Morreale are listed as defend-
ants.

negotiate a contract with Quad3 to pre-

Reilly said county commissioners in
October approved $2 million in funding
through the Office of Community Devel-
opment’s revolving loan program. Reilly
alsois director of that office.
The authority vote appears to have
been a formality, as
Quad3 has a standing
contract with the coun-
ty to provide engineer-
ing services for such
projects. Reilly said
Quad3 is already in the
process of developing
plans and Luzerne
County Engineer Joe Gibbons is oversee-
ingthe project.
Gibbons said he has met with Quad3
representatives and they scoped out a de-
signplanthatis50to75percentcomplete,

ject manual is finished and he’s confident
the county is adequately protected.

prove the project by February. Then the
county can advertise for construction
bids. PHMC approval is necessary be-

“If everything goes well, we could see
work beginning in early to mid-spring,”
Gibbons said.
The planis torenovate the property for
county agencies that lease space in build-

DALLAS TWP. – Two supervisors
postponed appointing a replacement
Tuesday night after one supervisor
abruptly resigned and residents accused
the officials of violating the Sunshine
Act.
After a seven-minute meeting, Chair-
man Phil Walter announced his resigna-
tionto residents inthe packedmunicipal
building. The remaining supervisors,
Glenn Howell, who will be replaced by
Liz Martin on Jan. 3, and Frank Wagner
attempted to appoint township emer-
gency management coordinator Jack
Dodson to the position.
Residents accused the supervisors of
violating the Sunshine Act, or open
meetings law. Martin said she felt the su-
pervisors had deliberated outside of a
public forum because she heard from
District Judge James Tupper that Dod-
son had contacted the judge about the
process of swearing into an elected of-
fice.
“For someone to plan his swearing-in,
there had to have been discussion and a
decision made,” she said.
Martin urged the supervisors to post-
pone the decision until January, when
she andWagner couldmake the decision
together. Wagner has two years left on
the board, and Martin will serve for six
years.
Both Howell and Wagner admitted
theyhadDodsoninmindfor theposition
but never spoketogether about theissue.
Wagner said he had a list of five resi-
dents he hadinmindfor the positionand
he questioned Dodson at length about
his previous experiences serving the
township. Dodson also serves on the
township planning commission and ran
for the position of supervisor against
Wagner in 1976.

Lisa Caruthers, a case
worker at the shelter, said
the gifts are greatly ap-
preciated.
“It makes a big differ-
ence because a lot of
these children never had
bicycles before, and
they’re 9, 10, 11 years
old,” she said. “So in my
opinion it’s very impor-
tant. It’s a stepping stone
in life.”
WILKES-BARRE – Kai-
yira Alston’s smile
beamed from ear-to-ear as
she climbed aboard her
new, purple bicycle.
The 9-year-old already
knew how to ride without
training wheels, but this
was the first she could
call her own. She gripped
the handlebars with antic-
ipation.
“It’s great,” she said.
“It’s nice and big.”
Kiayira’s sister, Kami-
rah, 7, and brother Zahir,
5, wore smiles too as they
looked over their new
bikes Tuesday night.
The children are resi-
dents of the Salvation Ar-
my’s Kirby Health Center
Family House, a transi-
tional living facility for
homeless families in
Wilkes-Barre. The bikes
they received Tuesday
were an early Christmas
present from the Jenni
Sunshine Foundation and
founder Frank Kearney.
“It’s a gigantic thing for
the kids,” Kearney said as
he bounced between kids
in a pair of rabbit ears.
“Did you see the smiles?
That’s the best part of the
whole thing. … It’s worth
a million bucks to see that
smile on the kids’ faces.”
The foundation, named
for Kearney’s fiancée Jen-
nifer Riley, who passed
away three years ago, has
the dual aims of bringing
art to children and help-
ing the homeless. Work-
ing with the Kirby House
lets him do both, Kearney
said.
This year, the second
for the bike drive, the
foundation gave bikes to
16 children who live at
the shelter or who recent-
ly moved out.
The bikes were donated
by members of the com-
munity or purchased with
donations. Kohl’s in
Wilkes-Barre Township
donated money to the
program and sent a team
of six volunteers to help

HARRISBURG — Races for
Pennsylvania’s U.S. House seats
in 2012 are beginning to take
shape as a bill redrawing the dis-
tricts to try to ensure the major-
ity are represented by Republi-
cans headed to Gov. Tom Cor-
bett’s desk on Tuesday.
ThestateHouseof Representa-
tives approved the proposed new
map, 136-61. The Republicangov-
ernor is expected to sign it into
law.
Jan. 24 is the first day for candi-
dates to circulate nomination
petitions.
Top Republicans drewthe plan
in secret and unveiled it a week
before it passed both the House
and Senate on its way to becom-
ing law.
Speculation has centered on
whether state House Majority
Leader Mike Turzai, who helped
drawthe districts and lives in the
new 12th District, was planning
to run. Asked about it Tuesday,
Turzai would not say yes or no,
only that he’s working hard in his
current job.
Democrat Manan Trivedi, an
Iraq war veteran and physician
who last year unsuccessfully
challenged U.S. Rep. Jim Ger-
lach, a suburban Philadelphia Re-
publican, plans to run for the seat
again next year.
Anewcongressional map is re-
quired every decade to reflect
population shifts. Because Penn-
sylvania grew more slowly than
the rest of the nation, it lost a U.S.
House seat, dropping from 19 to
18 in the 2012 election and ensur-
ing significant changes.
Those once-a-decade changes
are being controlled this time
around by Republicans, since
they control the state Legislature
and the governor’s office.
To shrink Pennsylvania to 18
districts, the proposed new map
would eliminate the suburban
Pittsburgh 4th District and com-
bine it with the12th District seat.
Meanwhile, the redrawn map
shifts tracts of Democratic-lean-
ing voters, such as the cities of
Scranton and Wilkes-Barre, from
swing districts to districts where
they are less likely to defeat Re-
publican incumbents.
In addition, it would stretch
districts held by Republicans in
increasingly liberal areas of east-
ern Pennsylvania deep into cen-
tral Pennsylvania to pick up more
conservative voters.
Republicans defended the map
as meeting stringent legal and
constitutional guidelines, and
say the map serves the will of vot-
ers by protecting the incumbents
they’ve already picked.
Democrats criticized it as a
map in which politicians pick
their voters, not the other way
around.

HARRISBURG — The fed-
eral government has approved
$420 million in disaster aid
for Pennsylvanians hit by the
one-two punch of Hurricane
Irene and Tropical Storm Lee.
Updated figures from feder-
al and state emergency man-
agement officials say more
than 94,000 people registered
for disaster assistance from
the Federal Emergency Man-
agement Agency.
A total of $134 million in
assistance grants have been
approved along with $122 mil-
lion in housing assistance in-
cluding repairs and temporary
housing.
The National Flood Insur-
ance Program has settled
$196 million in insurance
claims and the Small Business
Administration has handed
out $82 million in low-interest
loans.
The deadline to apply for
aid was Dec. 14.
Officials say applications
are still being processed and
the final figures for total aid
are expected to rise.

The Associated Press
HARRISBURG — Gov. Tom Corbett’s
top budget adviser on Tuesday warned
that Pennsylvania’s tax collections will
continue to suffer from economic weak-
ness and said he is developing a plan to
freeze some state spending to ease a short-
fall that he expects will reach at least $500
million by the end of the fiscal year in six
months.
Budget Secretary Charles Zogby would
not give details about the kind or amount
of spending that could be frozen, but said
he expects Corbett, a Republican, to act by
the end of December on a set of options
given to him by Zogby.
He also warned of another painful bud-
get for the 2012-13 fiscal year beginning
July 1 in which Corbett would balance
spending without raising taxes. But the
state will have to find a way to pay for a
projected $1 billion in growing health care,
pension and debt costs, Zogby said.
“We want to make very clear that these
are very difficult times, with very difficult
choices in front of us,” Zogby told report-
ers in a traditional mid-year budget brief-
ing in the Capitol.
Zogby said while many thought the cur-
rent budget was difficult to balance, he
said that “in many respects, 2012-13 is
going to be an even more difficult chal-
lenge.”
The current $27.2 billion budget for the
2011-12 fiscal year made deep cuts to edu-
cation aid, held the line on human services
costs despite rising demand for services,
and did not raise taxes to cope with a drop
in state revenues and the loss of federal
stimulus money. It cut spending by 3 per-
cent, lowered business taxes and carried
$1 billion over into the new fiscal year.
Other than saying that tax increases are
not under consideration, Zogby would not
reveal what the Corbett administration
will propose in the governor’s February
budget plan for the 2012-13 fiscal year.
Through Nov. 30, collections for the
state’s main bank account, called the gen-
eral fund, totaled $9.4 billion, which was
$345.3 million, or 3.6 percent, below esti-
mate, according to the state Department
of Revenue.

Iraq VP denies charge
I
raq’s Sunni vice president denied
Shiite accusations that he organized
death squads, describing the charges
Tuesday as a trumped-up case brought
only after the departure of U.S. troops
about assassinations allegedly commit-
ted five years ago.
The arrest warrant issued against the
highest-ranking Sunni politician threat-
ens to tear apart Iraq’s coalition govern-
ment and perhaps kick-start another
Sunni insurgency. It raised suspicions
that Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, a
Shiite, ordered the arrest of Vice Presi-
dent Tariq al-Hashemi as part of a
campaign to consolidate his hold on
power out of a fear that Sunnis in and
out of Iraq are plotting against him.
BEIRUT
150 are killed in Syria
Security forces pursuing anti-govern-
ment activists and army defectors shot
dead at least 47 people in Syria on
Tuesday, pushing the toll for two days
of violence to nearly 150 even as the
regime prepared to allow in foreign
monitors under an Arab League plan
aimed at stopping the bloodshed.
Syrian state television showed pic-
tures of military maneuvers and said
they were meant to show its forces are
ready to “repulse any aggression the
enemies of our nations might think
about.”
Activist groups said about 100 people
were killed on Monday, the same day
Syria agreed to the monitors after
weeks of stalling. About 70 of the dead
were said to be army defectors.
The groups said Tuesday’s toll was at
least 47 and possibly as high as 62.
ROME
Nations to pressure Iran
The U.S. and other nations meeting
Tuesday in Rome to discuss sanctions
against Iran for its alleged pursuit of
nuclear weapons have resolved to
boost pressure on Tehran to restart
negotiations, Italian foreign ministry
officials said.
The closed-door meeting brought
together officials of what the ministry
described as “like-minded countries.”
The group included the United States
and EU nations, Canada, Australia,
Japan, South Korea and possibly a Gulf
country, diplomats said. Exact partici-
pants were not identified.
The Wall Street Journal, citing uni-
dentified U.S., European and Arab
diplomats, reported that Iran’s oil ex-
ports and global energy prices were
key issues on the table.
Iran denies that it is pursuing nucle-
ar weapons, saying its nuclear program
is entirely peaceful.

Plane crash on road kills 5
Investigators for the National Trans-

a plane that crashed on a New Jersey
highway talked with an air traffic con-

They say it was only a seven-second
call. They are not yet sure if it was to
report icing had occurred or to ques-
tion the location of possible icing con-
ditions.
The plane crashed Tuesday morning
on Interstate 287 in northern New
Jersey. All five people aboard were
killed, but no one on the ground was
injured.
Federal investigators say the plane
departed Teterboro Airport at 9:50 a.m.
and crashed 14 minutes later.
It was headed for Georgia was carry-
ing two New York investment bankers

CAIRO — Around 10,000
women marched through
central Cairo demanding
Egypt’s ruling military step
down Tuesday in an unprece-
dented show of outrage over
soldiers who dragged women
by the hair and stomped on
them, and stripped one half-
naked in the street during a
fierce crackdown on activists
the past week.
The dramatic protest,
which grew as the women
marched from Tahrir Square
through downtown, was
fueled by the widely circulat-

en.
Many of the marchers tout-
ed the photo of the young
woman whose clothes were
partially pulled off by troops,
baring her down to her blue
bra, as she struggled on the
ground.
“Tantawi stripped your
women naked, come join us,”
the crowd chanted to passers-
by, referring to Field Marshal
Hussein Tantawi, the head of
the military council that has
ruled Egypt since the Feb. 11
fall of Hosni Mubarak. “The
daughters of Egypt are a red
line,” they chanted.
Even before the protest
was over, the military council
issued an unusually strong
statement of regret for what
it called “violations” against
women — a quick turn-
around after days of dismis-
sing the significance of the
abuse.

PYONGYANG, North Korea — North
Korea’s anointed heir Kim Jong Un led a
solemn procession of mourners Tuesday
to the glass coffin of his father and long-
time ruler — a strong indication that a
smooth leadership transition was under
way in the country known for secrecy and
unpredictability.
Weeping members of North Korea’s
elite filed past the body of Kim Jong Il,
which was draped in red cloth and sur-
roundedby stony-facedhonor guards and
dozens of red and white flowers.
State media fed a budding personality
cult around his youngest known son, hail-
ing him as a “lighthouse of hope” as the
country was awash in a “sea of tears and
grief.”
Kim’s coffin appeared to float on a raft
of “kimjongilia” — the flowers named af-
ter him — with his head and shoulders
bathed in a spotlight as solemn music
played. Various medals and honors were
displayed at his feet.
The bier was located in a hall of the
Kumsusan Memorial Palace, a mauso-
leum where the embalmed body of Kim
Jong Il’s father andNorthKoreanfounder
Kim Il Sung has been on view in a glass
sarcophagus since his death in 1994.
Kim Jong Il’s 27-year-old son and heir,
Kim Jong Un, wore a black Mao-style
suit, his hair cropped closely on the sides
but longer on top, as he walked with
much older officials in suits and military
uniforms.
Stepping away from the group, Kim
Jong Un bowed deeply, his expression se-
rious, before circling the bier with other
officials.
The announcement Monday of Kim’s
death over the weekend raised acute wor-
ries in the region over the possibility of a
power struggle between the untested son
and rivals in an impoverished and reclu-
sive country with a nuclear program.
But there have been no signs of unrest
or discord in Pyongyang.
With the country in an11-day period of
official mourning, flags were at half-staff
at all military units, factories, businesses,
farms and public buildings. The streets of
Pyongyang were quiet, but throngs gath-
ered at landmarks honoring Kim.

WILKES-BARRE – A Hazle-
ton man convicted of the May
2010 assault of an off-duty police
officer was sentenced Tuesday
to six to 12 years in state prison.
Ricardo A. Sanchez, 23, of
North Wyoming Street, was sen-
tenced on charges of aggravated
assault, reckless endangerment,
simple assault, harassment and
disorderly conduct.
“This was a vicious attack, a
needless attack and an act of
stupidity,” Luzerne County
Judge Tina Polachek Gartley
said before sentencing Sanchez.
Sanchez was convicted of the
crimes after a jury trial in Sep-
tember.
According to court records,
Michael Colasurdo, who was off-
duty at the time, and several
friends left Two Guys Pizza,
West Diamond Avenue, after
eating.
Colasurdo asked a group of
people to move their vehicle so
that Colasurdo and his friends
could drive away. Sanchez ap-
proached and shoved Colasur-
do’s friend, Greg Miller, to the
ground. Colasurdo grabbed San-
chez and told him to calm
down, court records
say.
Sanchez began
swinging at Colasurdo,
who placed Sanchez in
a headlock, the criminal
complaint says.
Prosecutors say sev-
eral of Sanchez’s friends
held down Colasurdo
while Sanchez beat
him, and that Colasur-
do sought refuge in the
restaurant, only to be
followed by Sanchez.
Colasurdo suffered
head and facial injuries, includ-
ing an orbital fracture.
“This is an unfortunate inci-
dent. (Sanchez acted) savage
and merciless,” Assistant Dis-
trict Attorney Daniel Zola said.
“The more (Sanchez) beat
(Colasurdo) up, the more he
wanted to beat him up.”
Zola said Sanchez was “blood
thirsty” and his actions were “re-
lentless.”
“I’m sorry for what happened
that night. I didn’t mean for all
that to happen,” Sanchez said.
“You don’t know me, why are
you calling me blood thirsty?”
Sanchez’s attorney, Joseph
Sklarosky Sr., said ev-
eryone had been drink-
ing that night, Sanchez
has expressed his re-
morse to him and other
people are also respon-
sible for the beating.
“You can’t pin every-
thing on this man,”
Sklarosky said.
Polachek Gartley said
the whole fight started
over a “stupid com-
ment” when Colasurdo
asked the group to
move the vehicle.
The judge said because Cola-
surdo’s health, career and social
life have been affected, and be-
cause Sanchez has 11 prior con-
victions for various crimes, she
was handing down the lengthy
sentence.
He received 327 days credit
for time already served in pris-
on.
“You’re 23 years old, you’re a
child,” Polachek Gartley said,
adding that Sanchez’s prior con-
victions involve public drunken-
ness, driving under the influen-
ce and disorderly conduct. “You
continue to drink and fight. You
could have walked away.”
Man sentenced in beating
Ricardo A. Sanchez, 23, of
Hazleton, gets 6 to 12 years
for assaulting off-duty cop.

TOPEKA, Kan. — A deadly
storm that halted travel through-
out the Great Plains weakened
Tuesday as it headed east into
Missouri and toward the Great
Lakes, and officials reopened in-
terstates in areas where motori-
sts had been forced to adjust holi-
day plans mid-trip.
Authorities still were reporting
snowdrifts of upto10 feet highin
southeast Colorado, and Texas
officials warneddrivers tostayoff
the road in the Panhandle so
crews would have a clear path to
remove ice andsnow. Major high-
ways in the western half of the
Oklahoma Panhandle remained
closed.
Still, officials reopened Inter-
state 40 in the Texas Panhandle
and NewMexico, and portions of
Interstate 70 in western Kansas
that had been closed. New Mex-
ico reopened a closed section of
Interstate 25, the main highway
from Santa Fe to the Colorado
line after crews cleared drifts as
highas 5feet. The stormdumped
as much as15 inches of snowas it
hit parts of five states.
In Boise City, Okla., at least 40
people were stranded at the
Longhorn Motel on Main Street,
where manager Pedro Segovia
said blowing snow had created
drifts 2- and 3-feet high and
closed the main road.
“Some people cannot even get
out of their houses. There is too
much snow,” Segovia said. “It’s
was blowing. We’ve got big piles.
It’s real bad.”
Receptionist MaKenzee Grove
sympathized with the 50 or so
people stranded at the hotel
where she works in Guymon,
about 60 miles east of Boise City.
She too spent Monday night
there.
“I have this rinky-dink car that
does not do well in this,” Grove
said. “If we wouldn’t have hadthe
wind, it wouldn’t have been as
bad. The winds ... made the drifts
really bad.”
A few guests traveling to Okla-
homa City managed to leave
Tuesday, but others would likely
have to wait another night before
all roads were clear, she said.
Paralyzing snowstorm loosens grip on Great Plains
AP PHOTO
Portions of Interstate 70 in Kansas reopened Tuesday after a
devastating snowstorm.
Some roads reopened after
the storm, which left 15 inches
of snow in some places.
By JOHN HANNA
Associated Press
The storm isn’t expected to ham-
per the Northeast. The National
Weather Service at Binghamton,
N.Y., predicts a 100 percent chance
of precipitation today and tonight,
but temperatures will remain in
the 40s and low 50s. Temper-
atures are expected to remain
above freezing through the week.
LOCAL FORECAST
About 200 flood-damaged res-
idential properties in 15 Lu-
zerne County municipalities
have been proposed for the first
wave of government buyouts,
county Flood Protection Au-
thority Executive Director Jim
Brozena said during Tuesday’s
authority meeting.
The first round of proposals
is for “substantially damaged
structures,” which are proper-
ties that lost at least half of
their value due to flooding.
Municipalities must submit
detailed formal applications re-
questing buyouts of the 200
properties by Dec. 30, Brozena
said.
Seven municipalities have ac-
cepted the county’s offer to pre-
pare the applications, which
must include property apprais-
als, he said. They are: Conyng-
ham, Nescopeck, Jenkins,
Plains and Exeter townships,
and West Pittston and Shick-
shinny boroughs.
Brozena said the other mu-
nicipalities are submitting appli-
cations on
their own: Sa-
lem, Plymouth,
Hunlock and
Wright town-
ships, the city
of Nanticoke,
and Nesco-
peck, Ply-
mouth and West Wyoming bor-
oughs.
The Federal Emergency Man-
agement Agency provides 75
percent of the funding, and the
remaining 25 percent typically
comes from the state. The deci-
sion on which properties are ap-
proved for buyouts is made by
the Pennsylvania Emergency
Management Agency, or PEMA.
Brozena said some of the 200
properties will be eliminated
through the formal application
process. Municipalities should
learn which properties are ap-
proved in April or May, he said.
Though property owners de-
cide if they want to participate,
municipal officials must apply
because the local government
has to agree to own and main-
tain the sites after the proper-
ties are demolished. These par-
cels may never be developed
again.
Dec. 30 is also the deadline
for municipalities to propose
other less-damaged residential
properties for buyouts, though
the formal applications for
those structures aren’t due until
the end of February, he said.
The state advises the buyout
purchase prices be based on the
pre-flood value of a property as
determined by a state-certified
appraiser.
In other business Tuesday,
authority members accepted an
award from 10,000 Friends of
Pennsylvania President Jack M.
Machek honoring the River
Common project for providing
flood protection, recreational
opportunities and reconnecting
residents to the Susquehanna
River.
The authority also agreed to
keep the Wyoming Valley Levee
fee the same in 2012. The fee,
imposed on 14,470 properties in
low-lying, levee-protected areas,
ranges from $46.85 to $93.70
for residential properties and
$225.48 to $676.44 for commer-
cial sites.
About 200 flooded properties
proposed for federal buyouts
Municipalities must submit
applications requesting
buyouts by Dec. 30.

Brozena said some of the 200
properties will be eliminated
through the formal application
process. Municipalities should
learn which properties are
approved in April or May, he
said.
WILKES-BARRE – A Lu-
zerne County judge said Tues-
day he will rule before his
term expires at the end of
next week on an appeal re-
quest by the Northeastern
Pennsylvania School Districts
Health Trust to set aside a
judgment that would require
the trust to pay more than $5
million to two local school
districts.
Judge Lewis Wetzel, whose
last day on the bench is Dec.
30, recently ruled the health
trust should pay $2.8 million
to the Dallas School District
and $2.3 million to the Pitt-
ston Area School District.
The districts argued they
were entitled to millions they
had paid in premiums that
had helped the trust build up
a large cash reserve.
Attorneys for the health
trust argue that the agree-
ment signed
by all mem-
bers upon
joining re-
quired money
paid into the
trust stay
there unless
the consorti-
um is dissolved.
Shortly after the judge’s rul-
ing, attorneys for the health
trust filed motions requesting
the verdict be reversed and re-
turned in favor of the health
trust, claming that the judge
had erred in several aspects of
his ruling, including that a
new trial should be held.
The health trust board vot-
ed unanimously Monday to
appeal the court’s ruling. No
appeal had been filed as of
Tuesday.
Attorney Howard Bashman
told the trust board it would
have 30 days to file an appeal
after a ruling on those mo-
tions, but warned that it may
be wise to act sooner to pre-
vent the two districts from
trying to seize or freeze trust
accounts in an effort to secure
the money.
The board authorized Bash-
man and other attorneys
working on the case to file no-
tice of an appeal and “take all
action necessary to protect
the interests of the trust.”
Attorney Cynthia Vullo,
who represents the health
trust, said Tuesday there is
approximately $10 million in
surplus in the trust.
A total of around $7 million
will ultimately have to be
paid to the districts, collec-
tively, because of interest and
attorney fees, said attorney
Howard Levinson, who repre-
sents the districts.
Wetzel said he would give
attorneys time to respond to
recently filed court papers re-
garding the attorney and in-
terest fees, before he issues a
ruling on all the requests
made by attorneys.
Health trust appeal decision to come soon
Judge says he will rule on
matter before his time on the
bench ends Dec. 30.

“The only person who profits from
Republican ads attacking other
Republicans is Barack Obama ...”
Newt Gingrich
The contender for the Republican presidential
nomination this week condemned certain of his
challengers for “reprehensible behavior.” Recently, negative advertising
paid for by Mitt Romney’s allies has eroded Gingrich’s standing in Iowa.
Council, manager must
form good relationship
T
he council-manager form of govern-
ment in Luzerne County officially
begins Jan. 2.
It’s patterned after a corporate business
model in which the council acts as the
board of directors and the manager acts as
the chief executive officer (CEO). Coun-
cil’s role is to provide vision, policy and
overall guidance. The manager’s role is to
run the day-to-day operations in accord-
ance with the direction provided for by the
elected council.
As council members eagerly await the
arrival of the new manager, the temptation
will arise to jump in with both feet and
begin tackling day-to-day management
issues. Doing so, even with good inten-
tions, might prove to be problematic.
Council’s role is not to meddle in the day-
to-day operations or review every detail.
Council does not supervise the manager or
prepare the general budget.
Developing a positive working relation-
ship between council and the executive
manager is essential. Trust, honesty, good
communication and understanding of each
other’s roles must be established and rein-
forced.
When council evaluates the new manag-
er, the only consideration should be how
well the manager is implementing the
vision adopted by council. The manager’s
job is to make that vision a reality.
Without a clear vision we might never
achieve greatness. Having a clear sense of
where Luzerne County is going and where
we need to be 10 years down the road is
the work of council.
Focusing on jobs, prosperity, the econo-
my, entrepreneurship, governance, educa-
tion, health, safety and social connectivity
is the key to our future. It is important for
council to not devote all its attention on
internal problems while neglecting the big
picture.
Also, it might not be fun or exciting, but
without citizen involvement, government
can lose focus on what is important and
end up misusing public resources.

Writer disputes quotes
of space heater costs
I
want to point out some misleading
advertising I have seen in The Times
Leader. I have seen a number of ads for
electric space heaters that say they can
heat your home for very little cost. Some
say “pennies a day.” One says “5 cents an
hour.”
Our residential electric rates are around
11.5 cents/kilowatt-hour. These space
heaters use 1,500 watts of power at full
power, which is 1.5 kw. At 11.5 cents/kwh,
a heater running for an hour will cost 17.25
cents an hour. This sure is a lot more than
“5 cents an hour” or “pennies a day.”
Most heaters have a high and low setting
with the low setting for most being 1,000
watts, which equates to 11.5 cents per
hour, still more than double some of these
claims.
Consumers should be aware of these
dubious claims.

THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 21, 2011 PAGE 13A
SUPPORTING OUR na-
tion’s infrastructure is crit-
ical to maintaining a strong
economy, keeping the pub-
lic safe, creating jobs and
spurring economic devel-
opment. As a senior mem-
ber of the Transportation Committee and
the chairman of the Subcommittee on Rail-
roads, Pipelines and Hazardous Materials,
safety and job creation are my highest pri-
orities.
I am extremely proud that the House of
Representatives and the Senate unanimous-
ly approved my pipeline safety bill, the
Pipeline Safety, Regulatory Certainty, and
Job Creation Act of 2011. Getting this land-
mark legislation through Congress was a
monumental accomplishment and under-
scores the importance of maintaining the
integrity of our pipeline infrastructure. This
important legislation builds on our strong
commitment to ensuring the continued
safety and reliability of our nation’s pipeline
system and supports the creation of Amer-
ican jobs.
This legislation is vitally important be-
cause it provides the regulatory certainty
necessary for industry to make investments
and create American jobs. Ensuring a sen-
sible and practical regulatory approach to
improving safety will encourage economic
development. This is especially true in
Pennsylvania, where the development of the
Marcellus Shale presents a historic opportu-
nity for our state to reinvigorate our econo-
my.
In crafting this bipartisan bill that recent-
ly gained the support of every member of
the House and Senate, as well as the back-
ing of both the pipeline industry and safety
advocates, we worked hard to strengthen
the enforcement of current laws and to fill
gaps in existing laws where necessary. We
also focused on addressing National Trans-
portation Safety Board recommendations
resulting from recent pipeline incidents
with balanced and reasonable responses,
including addressing high-profile incidents
in California, Michigan, Montana and here
in Pennsylvania.
At a pipeline safety hearing I held earlier
this year outside of Philadelphia, I highlight-
ed the importance of doing “more with less”
in this time of tight federal budgets. An idea
raised at that hearing became an important
provision in my bill to utilize state and local
government personnel as a force multiplier
to supplement federal pipeline inspectors at
no cost to the federal government. I worked
closely with the Pennsylvania Public Utility
Commission in developing this language,
and the PUC is pushing forward with my
support to position Pennsylvania as the
nation’s leader in establishing a regional
pipeline safety training center.
The Pipeline Safety, Regulatory Certainty,
and Job Creation Act will improve upon
America’s already safe national pipeline
infrastructure. Less than 2 percent of the
bills introduced in the congested 112th
Congress have become law, which makes
passage of my legislation even more signif-
icant.
I am extremely proud to have authored
this major legislative accomplishment that
strengthens America’s energy infrastructure,
creates jobs and reduces our dependence on
foreign energy.
U.S. Rep. Bill Shuster, R-Hollidaysburg, serves on
the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee
and chairs its Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines
and Hazardous Materials.

HEDEATHOF North
Korean dictator Kim
Jong Il speeds up the
choreography of des-
potic succession as the young-
est son of the “Dear Leader” is
installed to run the family busi-
ness.
Kim Jong Un is hustling to
secure his position of power.
Reports suggest he already was
shuffling the upper ranks of the
military with younger officers,
who now owe their allegiance
to him.
The concern is the transition
of power to an unknown twen-
ty-something will inspire irra-
tional acts by the NorthKorean
military, so the new leader ap-
pears tough.
Two North Korean attacks in
fall 2010 – the sinking of a
South Korean naval ship and
the shelling of an island – have
been seen as an early introduc-
tion of Kim Jong Un by his ail-
ing father, according to Univer-
sity of Washington professor
Clark Sorensen, director of the
Center for Korean Studies at
the Jackson School.
What hap-
pens next?
Safe to say
the essential
puzzlement
is subject to
great specu-
lation at the
highest diplo-
matic levels.
The northern half of the pen-
insula remains a murky, chaot-
ic place. Sorensen points out
the Dear Leader presided with
iron-fisted rule through a fam-
ine in 1990s that claimed
600,000 lives. Severe food
shortages persist.
Another roundof humanitar-
ian food aid is under consider-
ation by the United States via
five American nongovernmen-
tal organizations. The United
Nations also might be in-
volved.
The foodaidshouldproceed.
Resumption of food aid by
the UnitedStates sends its own
message of an openness to
change, by all sides.

AZLETON NATIVE
Joe Maddon, the cele-
brated manager of
Major League Base-
ball’s Tampa Bay Rays, deserves
an award for his smart decisions
beyond the baseball diamond –
the ones that might transform
his hometown.
Maddon rightly recognized
duringa returnvisit in
2010 that racial ten-
sions threaten to spoil
the atmosphere and
imageof this southern
Luzerne County city
that has been experi-
encing rapid demo-
graphic changes.
Newly arriving Hispanics and
established whites do them-
selves a disservice when they,
and possibly their children, al-
low language barriers and other
differences to keep them apart,
he concluded.
So, thetwo-timewinner of the
American League’s Manager of
the Year Award made a gutsy
call. He decided to spearhead an
effort to promote diversity and
bridge gaps ina place previously
knownfor stokingthenation’s il-
legal immigration debate.
Maddon earlier this year re-
vealedhis “HazletonIntegration
Project.” He envisions the estab-
lishment of a community youth
center, someplace for kids of all
backgrounds to play sports and
to socialize.
This month, Maddon and a
host of sports celebrities from
the worlds of pro baseball and
professional wrestling came to
the region for a round of fun-
draising events, including auto-
graph signings.
“This is the first
step,” said Mad-
don, who charac-
terized his integra-
tion project as “an
optimistic ven-
ture.”
“I always dream
big,” he said. “I don’t visualize
small.”
No matter what becomes of
the project, we deeply admire its
goals and the man behind it.
Maddon, perhaps more than
most people, recognizes the
amazing strides that can be
made when people simply treat
one another with respect and ef-
fectively communicate.
He knows that, ultimately, all
of us are part of the same team.
Thank you, Joe Maddon, for
reinforcing lessons on civility
that Luzerne County’s adults al-
ready should be embracing and
teaching to their children.

stopgap measure.
“President Obamaneeds tocall
on Senate Democrats to go back
intosession... andresolvethisbill
as soon as possible,” said House
Speaker Boehner, R-Ohio. “I need
the president to help out.”
If Congress doesn’t break the
stalemate and pass a bill by the
end of the year, payroll taxes will
go up by 2 percentage points for
160 million workers on Jan. 1. Al-
most 2 million people could lose
unemployment benefits in Janu-
ary as well, and doctors would
bear big cuts in Medicare pay-
ments.
The House vote, 229-193, kicks
the measure back to the Senate,
where the bipartisan two-month
measure passed on Saturday by a
sweeping 89-10 vote. The Senate
then promptly left Washington
for the holidays. Senate Majority
Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., says
he won’t allow bargaining until
the House approves the Senate’s
short-termmeasure.
A “yes” vote is a vote to reject
the bill. Area Reps. Lou Barletta,
R-Hazleton, and Tom Marino, R-
Lycoming Township, voted to re-
ject the bill. Rep. TimHolden, D-
St. Clair, voted not to reject the
bill.
“I havebeentryingtonegotiate
a yearlong extensionwithRepub-
licans for weeks, and I am happy
to continue doing so as soon as
theHouseof Representativespas-
ses the bipartisan compromise to
protect middle-class families, but
not before then,” said Senate Ma-
jority leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.
The House vote caps a partisan
debate on Obama’s jobs agenda,
which has featured numerous
campaign-style appearances but
little real bipartisan negotiation,
other than Senate talks last week
that produced the two-month ex-
tension.
The Senate’s short-term, low-
est-common-denominator ap-
proach would renew a 2 percent-
age point cut in the Social Securi-
ty payroll tax, plus jobless bene-
fits averaging about $300 a week
for the long-term unemployed,
and would prevent a 27 percent
cut in Medicare payments to doc-
tors. The $33 billion cost would
be financed by a .10 percentage
point hike in home loan guaran-
tee fees charged by mortgage gi-
ants Fannie Mae and Freddie
Mac, which the administration
says wouldraisethemonthlypay-
ment on a typical $210,000 loan
by about $15 a month.
The House passed a separate
planlast weekthat wouldhaveex-
tended the payroll tax cut for one
year. But that version also con-
tained spending cuts opposed by
Democrats and tighter rules for
jobless benefits.
The House and Senate bills in-
cluded a provision designed to
force Obama to make a decision
on construction of the controver-
sial Keystone XL pipeline, which
would deliver up to 700,000 bar-
rels of oil daily from tar sands in
Alberta, Canada, to refineries in
Texas. The provision requires
him to issue the needed permit
unless he declares the pipeline
would not serve the national in-
terest.
Democrats and the White
House had reversed course and
accepted GOP demands on Keys-
tone, which contributed to
sweeping GOP support for the
Senate measure. The White
House signaled that Obama
would block the project.
Until this weekend, it was as-
sumed that Boehner had signed
off on the Senate measure. After
all, it was agreed to by Boehner’s
trusted confidante, Senate GOP
Leader Mitch McConnell of Ken-
tucky. Boehner declinedonsever-
al occasions Friday to reject the
idea.
But rank-and-fileHouseRepub-
licans erupted in frustration at
the Senate measure, which drops
changes tothe unemployment in-
surance system pressed by con-
servatives, a freeze in the salaries
of federal workers and cuts to
President Barack Obama’s health
care law.
Also driving their frustration
was that the Senate, as it so often
does, appeared intent on leaving
the House holding the bag —
pressuring House lawmakers to
go along with its plan. Tuesday’s
vote technically puts the onus
back on the Senate —but also in-
vites a full-blownbattle withOba-
ma, whose poll numbers have in-
ched up during the battling over
his jobs initiative.
Both sides were eager to posi-
tion themselves as the strongest
advocates of the payroll tax cut,
with House Republicans accus-
ing the Senate of lollygagging on
vacation and Senate Democrats
countering that the House was
seeking a partisan battle rather
than taking the obvious route of
approving the stopgap bill to buy
more time for negotiations.
“If you say you want to do this
for a year, put your vote where
your rhetoric is,” said Rep. Jeb
Hensarlingof Texas, a member of
the House GOP leadership. “If
you’re not willing to work over
the holidays, admit to the Amer-
icanpeoplethat you’renot willing
to work over the holidays.”
“Right now Americans want
two things from their Congress:
middle class tax relief and com-
promise,” saidRep. SteveIsrael of
NewYork, chairmanof theHouse
Democrats’ fundraising commit-
tee. “House Republican partisan-
ship failed on both counts.”

Wega said Dallas is a quality school
district with excellent facilities.
Nick Zapoticky, president of the 300-
member Dallas Gridiron Club, was
pleased to hear of Jackson’s intent.
“I think it’s a good thing that he’s
going to reapply,” Zapoticky said. “He’s
been there a long time, and he’s done a
great job.”
Speaking on behalf of the Gridiron
Club, Zapoticky said Jackson’s the
right guy for the job.
“We respect him,” he said.
Zapoticky’s son, Ryan, is a junior at
Dallas and was the team’s quarterback.
The school district posted the varsi-
ty football coach position on its web-
site on Dec. 15 and set a deadline of
Jan. 3 at 3 p.m. for applications. The
position of head weightlifting coach,
also held by Jackson, was posted on
the website on Dec. 16. The deadline
for that position is also Jan. 3.
Jackson made $7,208 as football
coach, according to the school board
minutes from the April 2011 meeting.
He was paid $1,075 as head weightlift-
ing coach for the 2010-11 school year,
the same salary listed on the school’s
website posting for the open position.
Wega said Dr. Rick Coslett, chair-
man of the personnel committee, Ath-
letic Director Nancy Roberts and Shaff-
er will review applications. Board
members can participate. When the in-
terview process is complete, Wega said
the committee will make a recommen-
dation to the board.
Wega said the interview process will
be consistent – the same committee
members will ask the same questions
of each candidate and there will not be
any “off-script” questions. Each appli-
cant will be given a copy of the ques-
tions during the interview. Wega said a
second or third round of interviews
will be held if necessary.
Jackson has a 227-82-3 record at Dal-
las and his teams have posted only one
losing season in his 27 years at the
helm. However, the program has spent
the last four years on probation insti-
tuted by the District 2 Athletic Com-
mittee, the local extension of the PIAA.
The first two years of probation were
for a bench-clearing brawl in the 2008
season opener against Williamsport.
The probation was extended through
the 2010 and 2011 seasons after an in-
cident in which players urinated on the
tennis courts during halftime of a
game at Tunkhannock on Sept. 18,
2009.
The District 2 Athletic Committee
imposed seven sanctions in all on Dal-
las, including suspending Jackson for
the entire 2010 season. The PIAA
Board of Directors reduced that penal-
ty to four games after Dallas appealed
the sanctions.
The Mountaineers were 10-2 this sea-
son and played for the District 2 Class
3A championship for the second time
in three years. Jackson was named the
Wyoming Valley Conference Big
School Coach of the Year for a third
consecutive year by the Wyoming Val-
ley Conference Football Coaches Asso-
ciation.

Unless cuts are made next year, this
meansthenewcouncil mayhavelatitude
to raise taxes to generate only another 2
percent, or $1.8million, increase inprop-
erty tax revenue.
The new council could try to get
around this by arguing the commission-
ers’ projected property tax growth is not
attainable.
The charter also notes the 8 percent
cap does not apply to tax revenue re-
quiredtopaydebt. Debt repayments will
increase about $2.9 million to $24.8 mil-
lion next year. The portion for debt ser-
vice could be isolated to justify a higher
tax increase.
Convincing a judge to grant permis-
siontoexceedthecapmaynotbedifficult
because extensive budget cuts are pro-
posed in several court branches, but it’s
unclear if a majority of the 11-member
council wouldbe willingtostart the new
government resorting to that option.
Many viewed the property tax cap as
one of the key selling points to convince
voters tochoosetheswitchtohomerule.
Home rule transitionsolicitor Jeff Ma-
lak said specifics on calculating caps
would have to be studied by the interim
or permanent county manager and chief
solicitor after thecouncil is seatedJan. 2.
The council has until Feb. 15 to exercise
its power to amend the commissioners’
2012 budget.
“There will be questions. The newad-
ministrationwill havetotakeitstimeand
makesureall provisionsof thecharterare
followed, includingtheonesaffectingthe
budget,” Malak said.
Countytaxes arecurrently5.215mills,
which equates to $521.50 on a property
assessed at $100,000. An 8 percent prop-
erty tax increase would amount to .4172
mills, increasing the tax bill for the
$100,000 property by $41.72.
County Solicitor Vito DeLuca had
questioned the legality of the 8 percent
cap before the charter was passed. He
saida2007CommonwealthCourtcasein
neighboring home rule Lackawanna
Countyestablishedthat taxratescan’t be
limitedby home rule charters.
Attorney Jim Haggerty, a home rule
charter drafter andtransitioncommittee
member, has said the case law wouldn’t
apply because the Luzerne County char-
ter limits the amount of budgeted re-
ceipts from property taxes -- not the ac-
tual tax rate.
The revenue limit was modeledafter a
capplacedongovernment entitiesaftera
countywide reassessment, Malak has
said. Revenue from property taxes can’t
increase more than 10 percent the first
year after reassessment.
Using county figures and formulas, up
to150 employees could be laid off under
the budget proposedby commissioners.

proof. Jack Dodson being ap-

BATON ROUGE, La. — LSU’s 2011 season
will be remembered for challenging Les
Miles’ crisis-management skills over andover
again.
It couldalsogodownas the greatest season
in the history of a program that has been
around since 1893.
Now within one more victory of an unbea-
ten season and a BCS national title, Miles has
been voted The Associated Press Coach of
the Year.
Thirty of 56 votes cast went to Miles. Bill
Snyder of Kansas State was second with 16,
Mike Gundy of Oklahoma State had six, Bra-
dy Hoke of Michigan got three and Lane Kif-
fin of Southern California had one.
As Miles reflected on the various trials he
dealt withthis seasoninaninterviewwiththe
AP this week, he spoke in a hushed tone and
recounted a talk he had long ago with his fa-
ther in the kitchen of his childhood home.

CHICAGO — With the final seconds
ticking down and the Americans on
the verge of their earliest exit ever
from the Women’s World Cup, Abby
Wambach kept waving her index fin-
ger at her teammates.
One chance, she screamed, all they
needed was one chance.
When it came in the form of a left-
footed cross from Megan Rapinoe,
Wambach pounced. With one vicious
whip of her head, she changed the
course of this year’s World Cup and
sparked a frenzy rarely seen for wom-
en’s sports in the United States.
Wambach’s performance at the
World Cup made her the clear choice
for the 2011 Female Athlete of the Year
in the United States, selected by mem-
bers of The Associated Press. The U.S.
forward received 65 of the 214 votes
cast, while teammate Hope Solo (38)
was a distant second and basketball
player Maya Moore (35) was third.
Wambach is the first individual foot-
ball player — man or woman — to
win one of the AP’s annual sports
awards, which began in 1931. The U.S.
women’s team won in 1999, when their
World Cup triumph at the Rose Bowl
transfixed the nation.
“We, as a team, did something that
no team since Mia Hamm was able to
do,” Wambach told the AP. “Even the
team that won the (Olympic) gold
medal in 2008 wasn’t able to inspire
and get people excited about women’s
soccer. It goes to show you the impact
drama can bring.”
Wambach’s four goals in Germany
give her 13 in three World Cup appear-
ances. That’s the most by an Amer-
ican, topping Michelle Akers by one,
and puts her third on the all-time
World Cup scoring list behind Brazil
forward Marta and Germany striker
Birgit Prinz. The 31-year-old American
ranks third on the U.S. career scoring
list with 125 goals, trailing only Mia
Hamm (158) and Kristine Lilly (130).
“When she’s on top of her game,”
United States coach Pia Sundhage
said, “she’s one of the best in the
world.”
Wambach was certainly at her best
at the World Cup, leading the Amer-
icans to the final, where they lost to
Japan on penalty kicks.
“I’m not a person who cares much
about (individual) awards, but I really
appreciate you guys recognizing this
team,” Wambach said.
The Americans are the defending
Olympic champions, and Wambach
and her teammates are currently train-
ing for next month’s regional qualify-
ing tournament.

cross-town rivals an opportunity to be
magnanimous. The Oakland Raiders
told the 49ers and the NFL they were
prepared to make their stadium availa-
ble to finish the game Monday night —
or whenever they may have deemed ap-
propriate.
The San Francisco Police Department
said it never discussed evacuating the
sold-out stadiumeven though the black-
outs conjured nationally televised imag-
es of World Series fans streaming out of
Candlestick immediately after the 1989
Loma Prieta Earthquake.
“Any decision to end the game
would’ve come from the NFL,” said Sgt.
Mike Andraychak. He said officers were
investigating an unrelated bomb threat
SAN FRANCISCO — The blackouts
that left Candlestick Park in the gloom
during a much-anticipated Monday
Night Football matchup also dimmed
the spotlight that would have otherwise
beenshiningonthe 49ers after their 20-3
victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Rather than focusing on the team’s
success, talk turned Tuesday to the
many failings of the 51-year-old stadium
and the 49ers’ plan to move outside of
thecitylimits andbuildanewstadiumin
nearby Santa Clara.
SanFranciscoMayor EdLeecalledthe
incident a “national embarrassment.”
The outages even gave the hated
when the first blackout occurred at 5:20
PST, delaying the start of the game. He
said three people who ran onto the field
during the second blackout were arrest-
ed. There were also a handful of public
intoxication and battery arrests that are
usual for games.
In the end, the NFL let the game play
onat Candlestick Monday night. But the
questions over the 49ers’ future home in-
tensified.
For the immediate future, the NFL
and 49ers say they are confident the
problem won’t recur and that Candles-
tick can host a playoff game next month.
“We’re not concerned,” said 49ers

STATE COLLEGE — Penn
State’s current message to pro-
spective recruits sounds a bit un-
usual: Keep your options open
until the school finally settles on
a replacement for ousted Hall of
Fame coach Joe Paterno.
It could hurt the quality of
Penn State’s next recruiting
class. But interimcoachTomBra-
dley wants to
maintain trans-
parency with
potential Nitta-
ny Lions follow-
ing child sex-
abuse charges
against a for-
mer assistant
coach that left
the program in
turmoil.
“We’ve been
honest and
open with
them. We’ve
been transpar-
ent about ev-
erything. I
think they’re
waiting now to
see what hap-
pens with the
head coach,”
Bradley said.
“We’ve told a
lot of these
guys that they
have to go visit
other places
and keep their
options open
until they see what happens
here.”
They’ve been waiting for a
while, at least when it comes to
coaching search timelines.
On the other hand, few search-
es have ever occurred under such
extraordinary circumstances.
School trustees fired Paterno
on Nov. 9, four days after author-
ities filed the first set of charges
against Jerry Sandusky. The as-
sistant, who retired in 1999, is
awaiting a jury trial after plead-
ing not guilty to allegations that
span from1994 to 2009.
Besides the ongoing criminal
investigation, the NCAA and the
Big Ten — among other organi-
zations — have announced they
are looking into the scandal.
Paterno isn’t a target of the
criminal investigation, but was
dismissed anyway amid mount-
ing pressure that school leaders
shouldhave done more to stopal-
leged abuse.
Paterno, who turns 85 on
Wednesday, was released from
the hospital Sunday following a
weeklong stay to make it easier
for doctors to tend to his frac-
tured pelvis while also treating
him for lung cancer.

York’s win with an empty-netter
as the Rangers beat the New
Jersey Devils.
Gaborik, who reached 600
NHL points with his first goal,
also helped set up Artem Anisi-
mov’s second-period tally that
tied the game 1-1. New York
(20-9-4) won its second straight
and broke the Devils’ four-game
winning streak in the first of six
meetings between Atlantic
Division rivals.
Anisimov also had an assist,
Carl Hagelin added a short-
handed goal, and Derek Stepan
chipped in two assists for the
Rangers.
Travis Zajac’s first goal of the
season gave the Devils a 1-0
lead in the first period.
Capitals 4, Predators 1
WASHINGTON — Alex
Ovechkin and Nicklas Back-
strom scored first period goals,
Alexander Semin added a third-
period goal, and Michal Neu-
virth stopped 20 shots as the
Washington Capitals beat the
Nashville Predators.
Nashville lost for the first
time in six games, and for the
first time in 11 contests, had a
game decided by more than one
goal. The quirky 10-game streak
was two shy of an NHL record,
according to STATS LLC.
Washington improved to 5-5
under new coach Dale Hunter.
The Capitals are 6-1 in their
last seven games against the
Predators.
Senators 4, Sabres 1
OTTAWA — Erik Condra
combined with newly acquired
Ottawa center Kyle Turris on
the first of Condra’s two goals
and lifted the Senators on to a
win over the Buffalo Sabres.
Turris, acquired from Phoe-
nix on Saturday, forced a turn-
over in the neutral zone as
Condra raced in with the puck.
He dropped a pass to Turris,
whose shot from the right side
was stopped by goalie Ryan
Miller. Turris batted the re-
bound across to Condra, who
put the puck into the open net
to give Ottawa its second lead.
Coyotes 2, Panthers 1
SUNRISE, Fla. — Radim
Vrbata and Ray Whitney scored
goals to lift the Phoenix
Coyotes to a victory over the
Florida Panthers.
The Coyotes won for just the
second time in six games.
Mike Smith stopped 19 shots
before leaving with 16:31 left in
the third period because of a
non-contact injury. Jason LaBar-
bera relieved Smith and made
six saves, including one on a
penalty shot.
PITTSBURGH — Evgeni
Malkin had three assists to
move into a tie for the NHL
scoring lead and the Pittsburgh
Penguins snapped the Chicago
Blackhawks’ five-game winning
streak with a 3-2 victory on
Tuesday night.
Malkin assisted on goals by
Chris Kunitz, James Neal and
Tyler Kennedy, giving him
points in all six games since
Penguins captain Sidney Crosby
left the lineup again because of
concussion symptoms.
Malkin has six goals and nine
assists in that stretch in which
the Penguins lost three of the
first four before Malkin had a
hat trick in an 8-3 victory over
Buffalo on Saturday.
Jonathan Toews and Viktor
Stalberg had third-period goals
for Chicago (21-9-4), which
entered with the most points in
the NHL. The Blackhawks had
won five straight on the road.
Coming off a career high-
tying five-point game, Malkin
matched the season high for
assists he set Saturday. During
a first-period power play, Mal-
kin slid a deft pass to Kunitz to
spring him into the Black-
hawks’ zone. Kunitz beat goalie
Ray Emery between the pads to
score for the third straight
game, netting his 12th of the
season.
The power play resulted from
an instigating penalty given to
John Scott, who reacted after
Deryk Engelland led with his
forearm in delivering a hit to
Marcus Kruger’s head. Kruger
played the remainder of the
period but didn’t play after
that. Engelland wasn’t penal-
ized.
Malkin set up Neal for his
19th of the season — 13th at
home — 2:45 into the second.
Neal has a six-game point
streak.
Defenseman Matt Niskanen
assisted on each the game’s first
two goals of the game to give
him 100 career points and nine
points in eight games.
Kennedy made it 3-0 with
3:27 left in the second with his
fourth of the season and first
since Nov. 25 off a nifty setup
from defenseman Ben Lovejoy,
who played his first game since
Nov. 3 due to a broken wrist.
The Penguins were 11-0-2
when leading after two periods,
but the Blackhawks had rallied
for at least a point in five of 13
games they trailed heading into
the third.

Jardine added14 and No. 1
Syracuse cruised past Bucknell
80-61on Tuesday night.
The Orange (12-0), who re-
tained the No. 1ranking for the
second straight week after an
88-72 road win over North Car-
olina State on Saturday, won
their 30th straight nonconfer-
ence home game.
It was only the second time
Bucknell (7-5) has played the
No. 1teamin the nation. The
Bison lost to Duke, 84-50, on
Jan. 2, 2006.
Bucknell entered the game 1-8
against Syracuse, but that lone
win, a 74-69 triumph over the
17th-ranked Orange, came in
the Bison’s last visit to the Car-
rier Dome in November 2005.
Kentucky 82, Samford 50
LEXINGTON, Ky. —Doron
Lamb scored 26 points and
Darius Miller added17 to lead
No. 3 Kentucky in a rout over
Samford to extend the Wildcats’
home winning streak to 41
games.
Kentucky (10-1) played with-
out Terrence Jones, who missed
the first game in his collegiate
career after dislocating the
pinky on his left, shooting hand
on Saturday.
The Wildcats hardly missed a
beat early against Samford (3-7)
without him, scoring the first 11
points of the game, pushing the
lead to 45-22 at halftime and by
as many as 34 late.
DrewWindler and Tyler
Hood scored11points apiece for
the Bulldogs.
Pittsburgh 71,

PITTSBURGH—J.J. Moore
scored15 points, Dante Taylor
added14 points and eight re-
bounds as No. 15 Pittsburgh
crushed St. Francis (Pa.) 71-45
on Tuesday night.
The Panthers (11-1) won their
ninth straight by holding the
Red Flash (3-8) to 35 percent
shooting and continuing their
dominance on the glass. Pitt
came in leading the nation in
rebounding margin —grabbing
12 more a game than the oppo-
nent —and added to those
numbers by outrebounding St.
Francis 42-21.
Anthony Ervin had13 points
and Stephon Whyatt added10
for the Red Flash, who never
recovered after Pitt reeled off
the game’s first 13 points
St. Francis came in shooting
48 percent fromthe field on the
season but missed its first eight
shots and quickly fell behind by
21points before settling in.
Ohio St. 70, Lamar 50
COLUMBUS, Ohio —Jared
Sullinger bounced back fromhis
latest injury to score 18 points
and grab11rebounds, leading
No. 2 Ohio State past Lamar.
Deshaun Thomas, chosen as
the Big Ten’s player of the week
on Monday, added16 points for
the Buckeyes (11-1). His streak
of making17 consecutive two-
point field goal attempts ended
on his first shot of the game.
Devon Lamb and Stan Brown
each had10 points for Lamar
(8-4), which had a four-game
winning streak come to an end.
The Cardinals’ record against
Big Ten teams dropped to1-5.
The Buckeyes had played
three of their last four games
without Sullinger healthy. The
All-America missed two games
with back spasms —including
Ohio State’s only loss, a 78-67
setback at No. 13 Kansas on
Dec. 10 —and all but 6 minutes
of Saturday’s 74-66 win at South
Carolina with an ankle injury.

by Nikola Vucevic, to give the
Sixers a 95-88 edge with1:09

nine lead changes.
Washington took a 52-47 lead
into halftime after Philadel-

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. —Ra-
keem Cato threw for 224 yards
and two touchdowns to help
Marshall beat Florida Interna-
tional 20-10 in the Beef ‘O’Bra-
dy’s Bowl on Tuesday night.
Tyler Warner kicked a pair of

ron Dobson, the latter putting
the game away in the closing sec-
onds. Warner’s 39-yard field goal
set up by a blocked punt snapped
a 10-10 tie with 5:16 remaining.
Marshall (7-6) overcame a
slow start to win five of its last
seven games and avoid a losing
record in its second season un-
der coach Doc Holliday.
FIU (8-5) was denied a school-
record ninth victory amid spec-

spokesman Steve Weakland. “We
certainly don’t want it to happen
again and we will do everything
we can to find out how it hap-
pened and why it happened.”
Lee ordered the fire depart-
ment and San Francisco Public
Utility Commission to investi-
gate. The California Public Util-
ity Commission has also joined
the investigation, which includes
Pacific Gas & Electric officials.
PG&E spokesman Jason King
on Tuesday said the causes re-
main under investigation.
Regardless of blame, the black-
outs highlighted the fact that
49ers have all but called the mov-
ing vans to clear out of their
home since 1971.
The city of Santa Clara last
week secured $850 million in
bankloans toconstruct a newsta-
dium. The team and city still
need a commitment of at least
$150 million from the NFL to se-
cure the loan. But the 49ers are
confident that will come through
and their days at Candlestick ap-
pear to be numbered.
The San Francisco Giants
moved from wind-swept Can-
dlestick before the 2000 season,
leaving behind the park’s trade-
mark swirling hotdog wrappers
and the Croix de Candlestick’s
pins given to fans who braved the
freezing nights to endure extra-
inning games.
The 49ers and the city have
battled for years over the run-
down stadium, including com-
plaints of luxury boxes with
leaks, dilapidated parking lots
and security.
Earlier this year, two men were
shot in a parking lot outside the
stadiumafter an exhibition game
between the 49ers and the Oak-
land Raiders.
There were also numerous
fights inside the stadium, includ-
ing one man who was beaten un-
conscious in a bathroom during
that game.
The 49ers are planning to have
the new stadium completed by
2015. It would hold 68,000 fans
and increase the number of luxu-
ry suites from the current 94 at
Candlestick to160 at the newsta-
dium, which would also boast a
13,600 square-foot scoreboard
compared to Candlestick’s 1,300
square-foot scoreboard. Parking
spaces would increase from
18,000 to 40,000.

The Times Leader staff
PHILADELPHIA — The
Philadelphia Eagles should
ditch those pregame “Rocky”
videos for another Sylvester
Stallone movie that sums up
their season.
Given up for dead just a few
weeks ago along with several
other teams, the underachiev-
ing Eagles are somehow still
in the NFL playoff race. So in-
stead of showing inspirational
clips of Rocky Balboa fighting
Apollo Creed, maybe it would
be more fitting to have a video
montage from the “Saturday
Night Fever” sequel directed
by Stallone, “Staying Alive.”
With two weeks left in the
regular season, 15 teams are
in the hunt for the five re-
maining playoff spots. There
are seven teams battling for
two openings in the AFC and
eight teams in contention for
three berths in the NFC.
Four division titles are still
up for grabs. The wackiest
races are in the AFC West and
NFC East, where 8-8 might be
enough to win either division.
Green Bay, San Francisco,
New Orleans, New England,
Houston, Baltimore and Pitts-
burgh have clinched playoff
spots. Dallas (8-6), Atlanta
(9-5), Detroit (9-5), Denver
(8-6) and the New York Jets
(8-6) and Giants (7-7) control
their own destiny.
Philadelphia (6-8), Chicago
(7-7), Arizona (7-7), Seattle
(7-7), Tennessee (7-7), Cincin-
nati (7-7), Oakland (7-7), San
Diego (7-7) and Kansas City
(6-8) all need to win and get
help to play beyond New
Year’s Day.
The fact that the Eagles
haven’t been mathematically
eliminated yet is perhaps
most surprising. A team that
many picked to reach the Su-
per Bowl started 1-4 and was
4-8 following consecutive lop-
sided losses to the Patriots
and Seahawks.
But two straight wins over
Miami and the Jets coupled
with losses by Dallas and the
Giants kept Philadelphia
alive. Now it wouldn’t even
take big upsets for the Eagles
to win the NFC Least, er,
East.
First, the Jets have to beat
the Giants in the battle of
North Jersey on Saturday.
Then, later that afternoon, the
Eagles must beat Dallas. The
Jets are 3-point favorites over
the Giants. The Eagles are
just 3-point underdogs, and
they whipped the Cowboys
34-7 on Oct. 30.
If that happens, the Eagles
would win the division for the
second straight year if they
beat Washington at home on
Jan. 1 and the Giants beat Dal-
las in the Meadowlands. The
Giants already defeated the
Cowboys on the road last
week.
“You can’t control all that,”
Eagles coach Andy Reid said.
“The thing you can control is
going out there (Tuesday) and
practicing, and Wednesday
practicing, and Thursday
practicing, and Friday, and
playing the game. Those are
the things that you can con-
trol. So take care of that busi-
ness. I tell myself the same
thing, take care of that busi-
ness, don’t worry about the
other things. Take care of
what you can control.”

only team
staying alive

and tacked on a year of proba-
tion.
“It is still my goal to hire excel-
lent coaches, recruit great stu-
dent-athletes who want to be a
part of this program and to win
on and off the field,” Meyer said
in a statement.
The stiffer penalties — includ-
ing a finding of a “failure to mon-
itor” of Ohio State’s athletic pro-
grams — came because of addi-
tional problems which followed
the tattoo-related violations re-
vealed a year ago, almost to the
day.
It was a sobering blow to Ohio
State and athletic director Gene
Smith, who through a lengthy
NCAA investigation had main-
tained there was no way the
Buckeyes would be banned from
a bowl game.
“We are surprised and disap-
pointed with the NCAA’s deci-
sion,” Smith said in a statement.
“However, we have decided not
to appeal the decision because
we need to move forward as an
institution. We recognize that
this is a challenging time in in-
tercollegiate athletics. Institu-
tions of higher education must
move to higher ground, and
Ohio State embraces its leader-
ship responsibilities and affirms
its long-standing commitment to
excellence in education and in-
tegrity in all it does.”
As shocking as the Ohio State
case was when it broke, it has
since been overshadowed by
three other scandals in college
sports. Former Penn State foot-
ball assistant coach Jerry Sand-
usky was charged with more
than 50 criminal counts related
to child sex abuse, an ex-Syra-
cuse basketball assistant coach
was fired after being accused of
fondling boys and young men,
and a University of Miami boost-
er caught masterminding a Pon-
zi scheme claimed he provided
money, cars and even prostitutes
to Hurricanes athletes.
Ohio State might have done
better in its meetings with the
NCAA but, after the initial tattoo
scandal, the school and the
NCAA discovered two additional
problems. Three players were
suspended just before the start of
the season for accepting $200
from booster Bobby DiGeroni-
mo, and midway through the
Buckeyes’ 6-6 season it was re-
vealed that several players had
been paid too much for too little
work on summer jobs — sup-
plied by the same booster. He
has been disassociated from the
program.
Tressel, forced out in the wake
of the scandal, was hit with a
five-year “show-cause” order
which all but prevents him from
being a college coach during that
time.
“Of great concern to the com-
mittee was the fact that the for-
mer head coach became aware of
these violations and decided not
to report the violations,” the
NCAA Division I Committee on
Infractions wrote in its report.
Greg Sankey, associate com-
missioner of the Southeastern
Conference and a committee
member, said in a teleconference
that Tressel’s failure to act was,
“considered very serious and,
frankly, very disappointing.”
Tressel is now on the staff of
the Indianapolis Colts as a video-
review coordinator.
Under a show-cause order, any
school that hired Tressel would
have to present its case for why it
needed to employ him.

cards for Joe at the house &realized I’d
better get him one before tomorrow,”
son Jay Paterno, the quarterbacks
coach, posted Tuesday on Twitter.
Asix-person search committee head-
ed by acting athletic director David
Joyner was named Nov. 28. School
president Rodney Erickson has said he
hopedto have Paterno’s replacement in
place before No. 24 Penn State plays
No. 20 Houston in the TicketCity Bowl
on Jan. 2 in Dallas.
Speculation has swirled for weeks on
potential candidates. Bradley has con-
firmed he wants to remove the “inter-
im” tag fromhis title after saying at the
team’s bowl media day Monday that he
interviewed on Friday.
A person familiar with the search
process said Tuesday that defensive
line coachLarry Johnsonhas alsointer-
viewed.
The Patriot-News of Harrisburg re-
ported Friday about Johnson’s inter-
view. The personconfirming the report
to The Associated Press requested ano-
nymity because no one was authorized
to speak about the search.
Joyner hasn’t spoken publicly, but
has said in an interview conducted by
Penn State athletics posted on the de-
partment’s website last week that the
school was being “very methodical and
precise” about the search.
“We may be conducting our search a
little different thanother people,” Joyn-
er said.
Still, it’s a precarious time for a
search given its less than two months
fromthe date when high school seniors
can formally announce their intentions
to play college ball.
And Penn State already had its own
challenge evenbefore the scandal given
longstanding rumors of Paterno’s im-
pending retirement. Paterno stressed
to prospects to consider the campus as
a whole, including the program’s aca-
demic success, a message his assistants
continue to use now.
Bradley said the coaching uncertain-
ty has affected the team’s recruiting “a
little bit,” especially now since the
recruiting calendar has flipped over in-
to a period of limited contact. But Bra-
dley did share part of his pitch to
recruits when he did speak to them.
“This place is not going to change,”
Bradley said Monday. “We have great
facilities, great support and great aca-
demics. Wehavealot of great things go-
ing for us that have nothing to do with
the head coach.”
Some critics have said Penn State’s
next coach shouldn’t have any ties with
the program, though Erickson has
maintained the search is “wide open.”
Among those with NFLconnections,
former Steelers coach Bill Cowher and
ex-Colts coach Tony Dungy have both
said they have no interest in leaving
their current positions as TV analysts.
Nebraska’s Bo Pelini was the latest
name to emerge on the seemingly end-
less rumored list of potential college-
level prospects.
“First of all, the irresponsible reports
that are going on out there aren’t true. I
haven’t interviewed for Penn State. I’m
not saying any more on that,” Pelini
said after practice Tuesday in Lincoln.
Asked if he wanted to affirmhis com-
mitment to the Cornhuskers given re-
cent rumors, Pelini said, “I’m not ad-
dressing every single situation. I mean,
I don’t do it. I shouldn’t have to do it.”
Players are just as anxious as fans to
find out who might be the next coach.
The team is scheduled to practice
through Wednesday before taking a
break for the Christmas holiday. They
are slated to regroup Dec. 26 in Dallas.
As of Monday, about 3,000 of the
school’s reported allotment of 6,500
tickets had been sold, according to as-
sociate athletic director Greg Myford.
He said it was difficult to characterize
sales as slow given the school had no
previous comparisons — the TicketCi-
ty Bowl is a new destination for Penn
State.
Praising the bowl officials and Dal-
las, Myford said that “While total ad-
vance sales numbers are short of what
we might normally see for a Penn State
bowl, we need to be honest and ac-
knowledge that this is anything but a
normal year.”
Bowl executive director Tom Starr
said Tuesday they hoped to draw
45,000 fans to the 92,000-seat Cotton
Bowl, where the game is played. He
was optimistic that Penn State could
draw from a roughly 9,000-member
alumni andfanclubbasedinTexas, and
that the game could attract many of the
8,000 Houston alumni in the Dallas-
Fort Worth area.

was worried about his dad, Hope
“Bubba” Miles, who’d been
passed over for a promotion and
subsequently laid off, all while
dealing with the death of his own
father.
“We’ll be fine,” the LSU coach
recalled his father telling him.
“It’s the reaction to the difficult
times; it’s always those days
when something does not come
your way and you have to make
the best move —that’s what’s go-
ing to make your life rich.”
However LSU’s season ends in
the BCS title game against No. 2
Alabama on Jan. 9 in the Super-
dome, it will go down as one of
the more memorable chapters in
the history of Louisiana’s most
storied college football program.
The events that could have de-
railed the 2011 campaign were
numerous and diverse, yet the Ti-
gers dominated just about every
team they faced.
There was a preseason bar
fight that led to starting quarter-
back Jordan Jefferson’s early sea-
son suspension. There was pre-
season coaching shuffle brought
on by former offensive coordina-
tor Steve Kragthorpe’s Parkin-
son’s disease diagnosis. Starting
receiver Russell Shepardwas sus-
pended three games because he
talkedout of turnabout anNCAA
probe of a scouting service. Then
there were the midseason, one-
game suspensions of three key
players — star cornerback Ty-
rann Mathieu, starting running
back Spencer Ware and nickel
backTharoldSimon—for failing
school administered drug tests.
Through it all, the Tigers won
big, starting with a season-open-
ing 13-point triumph over then
No. 3 Oregon on a neutral field in
Dallas, barely more than a week
after learning they’d be without
Jefferson or Shepard.
Of their 13 victories, 12 have
come by double digits and seven
by 30 or more points. The lone
exception was a tense 9-6 over-
time triumph at Alabama high-
lighted by spectacular defensive
plays.
LSU won its first eight games
with pocket passer Jarrett Lee
taking most of the snaps, and the
rest with Jefferson getting the
bulk of the work, often running
option plays.
Miles said he was proud of his
staff for being adaptable enough
to design game plans around dif-
ferent styles of quarterbacks, and
proud of his players for their “no-
excuses” approach to every
game.
“They didn’t see (the suspen-
sions) as something they could
not overcome in any way,” Miles
said. “They recognized that
we’ve got two veteran quarter-
backs and some guys that can
stepinfor anybodyif theyhappen
to miss their start, and that we
were not going to let those things
that were onthe perimeter of this
program affect us.”
Miles and LSU entered 2011
sensing they wouldbe among the
best in the nation following an
11-2 2010 campaign capped by a
dominant Cotton Bowl victory.

STATECOLLEGE—More than 340
players once coached by Joe Paterno
have shown support for their former
Penn State coach through a letter re-
leased in time for his 85th birthday
Wednesday.
Hall of Famer Lydell Mitchell, a
standout Nittany Lions running back
from1969-71, helpedorganizetheeffort
andhopedtoget more signatures inthe
coming days. It’s believed to be the
largest such effort by former players
since school trustees fired Paterno last
month in the aftermath of child sex-
abuse charges against retired defensive
coordinator Jerry Sandusky.
Since then, Paterno has been diag-
nosed with what his family has called a
treatable form of lung cancer. He is un-
dergoing radiation and chemotherapy.
“He is not aware of (the letter),”
Mitchell said Tuesday night in a phone
interview. “It is so important that he
keeps his health up and stays strong ...
We’re in the fight with him.”
Paterno, like Mitchell is in the Col-
lege Football Hall of Fame.
The letter posted online addressed
from“The Penn State Football Family”
is entitled “We Stand in Support of Joe
and Penn State.” Besides Mitchell, oth-
er notable signees include Greg Buttle,
Shane Conlan, LaVar Arrington and Ki-
Jana Carter.
“As members of the Penn State com-
munity, we are deeply saddened by the
allegations against Jerry Sandusky, and
our thoughts and prayers go out to the
victims and their families. Given the al-
legations against Sandusky, we under-
stand the public’s outrage because we
share it,” the letter begins.

It didn’t take Jacob Baker long
to make a name for himself with
the Marist College men’s swim
team.
Freshman Baker, from Shaver-
town (Wyoming Seminary), and
sophomore Sean Molloy have
formed a solid one-two punch
on the diving team. In every
meet thus far, Baker or Molloy
has finished first with the other
right behind.
Baker captured the 3-meter
dive with a season-best total of
238.30 at the Hounds Invitation-
al in Baltimore, Md. The total
was ninth best in the Metro
Atlantic Athletic Conference
this season, second best by a
freshman. Molloy won the 1-
meter and Baker was second
(225.70).
In a league match against
Canisius, Baker captured the
1-meter with 256.12 points
which is sixth best in the MAAC
this season, best by a freshman.
He was named MAAC Diver of
the Week for his effort.
“Jacob has been a very pleas-
ant surprise,” said diving coach
Melanie Bolstad, who recruited
Baker. “He has a great work
ethic and he’s definitely a dia-
mond in the rough.”
Baker has been spending a lot
of time in the weight room and
learning new dives in practice.
“We want him to gain
strength and learn harder
dives,” Bolstad said. “The 3-
meter is new to him, so the
degree of difficulty is impor-
tant.”
Bolstad believes Baker has the
ability to be a standout diver
with his strong points jumping,
spinning and twisting.
“Jacob is an eager learner,”
the coach said. “I’m looking
forward to working with him the
next four years.”
The Red Foxes return to ac-
tion in a non-league meet with
Lehigh on Jan. 7 in Bethlehem.
YAGLOSKI MAY BE NEXT –
The Johns Hopkins wrestling
team has an NCAA All-Amer-
ican wall that has a sign on it
which asks “Who’s next?”
Wrestling coach Keith Norris
feels that sophomore Ray Ya-
gloski (Tunkhannock) has a
good chance to get his name on
the list before he graduates.
Yagloski had a solid freshman
season with the Blue Jays, post-
ing a 22-13 record at 125 pounds
and finishing third in the Cen-
tennial Conference Champion-
ship. This season, wrestling
mostly at 133, he’s 10-6 with four
pins, with the fastest fall coming
in 1:31.
“Ray came back to campus
bigger and stronger this year,”
Norris said. “He continues to
improve in all aspects of his
wrestling. I expect Ray to be my
starting 133 pounder and help
the team improve its second-
place finish in the league cham-
pionship. I believe we will see
Ray Yagloski written on the
All-American wall before his
career is over.”
RAVA MORE VERSATILE –
As a freshman, Kacee Rava
(Coughlin) finished second on
the Baptist Bible women’s bas-
ketball team in scoring with a
16.4 average. She also led the
Defenders in rebounding (11.2)
and blocked shots (23).
This season, the 6-foot-2 cen-
ter is third in scoring (12.6), first
in rebounds (8.9) with seven
blocked shots. She also has 10
steals and seven assists.
“Kacee committed herself
over the off-season to working
out and improving her skills,”
coach Amber Jacobs said. “It is
showing this season. She is
certainly an asset to our team in
the inside and she is developing
more versatility in her game
with moves and reading the
defense.”
Because Rava is a force inside,
opponents are starting to double
team her making it tough for
her to get more involved with
the offense. Still, she had 23
points and 12 rebounds in a
79-61 victory over Susquehanna,
17 points and nine rebounds in
an 84-64 triumph over Cedar
Crest and 15 points and 13 re-
bounds in a 68-58 victory over
Drew.
“If they double team her I
expect her to get a lot of ‘gar-
bage points’ off missed shots,”
the coach said. “Kacee is a force
both offensively and defensively
on the boards and she is a great
defender and does a great job
helping to change shooters
shots coming into the lane.”
The Defenders are 6-3 overall
and 3-0 in the Colonial States
Athletic Conference.
MARTIN SEEING ACTION –
Freshman Samantha Martin
(Dallas) has played in all 10
games off the bench for the 3-7
Albright women’s basketball
team.
The 5-foot-8 guard is averag-
ing 2.9 points and 2.4 rebounds
in 11.3 minutes of action a game,
but she recently had six points
and three rebounds in a 63-57
victory over Cabrini, 6 points
and five rebounds in an 85-57
triumph over PSU-Berks and
seven points and five rebounds
in a 72-41 triumph over Mitchell.
“Samantha is a true team
player,” coach Janice Luck said.
“She provides consistency for us
off the bench. She is the type of
player that does all of the little
things and she’s a pleasure to
coach.”
Martin was a shooting guard
at Dallas but is playing guard/
small forward for the Lions.
“She has picked it up faster
than expected,” Luck said. “She
is a hard worker and it shows
when she’s on the court.”
Allison Hardwick (Dallas) is
also a freshman on the squad
but has played in just one game
to date.
“Allison had
an early injury
that held her
out for over a
month,” Luck
said. “She has
lots of poten-
tial and we are
excited to see
her grow as a player over the
next few months.”
HONORS FOR BOGIMIL –
The Rhode Island football team
had its awards banquet last
weekend and senior lineman
Kyle Bogumil (Crestwood)
walked away with a pair of hon-
ors.
Bogumil was presented with
the Bob Griffin Award and the
Captains Award. The Griffin
Award is given to a member of
the team who displays high
character and exemplary lead-
ership skills.
Bogumil, a 6-foot-6, 310-pound
left guard on offense wrapped
up his career with the Rams by
starting 33 straight games.
Rhode Island was 3-8 this sea-
son.
MCDANIELS LEARNING
THE ROPES – Freshman Janelle
McDaniels (Wyoming Valley
West) is competing and scoring
points in the 50 freestyle, the
100 and 200 breaststroke and
with three relay teams for the
Gannon women’s swim team.
“Janelle’s transition to college
swimming was one that sur-
prised even her,” coach Nathan
Walters said. “She came in from
a smaller program and was used
to being the anchor leg to a
place where she realizes that
every yard of every day of train-
ing is important and she, along
with the rest of her teammates,
are in constant competition with
each other.”
McDaniels has already earned
a spot in the PSAC Champion-
ship in the 100 breaststroke
along with a couple of relays.
“Despite the fact that it has
taken some time for Janelle to
adjust to everything – class
schedule and the difficulty of
practice – she has done a very
nice job of being coachable,”
Walters said. “The experiences
she is gaining in meets and in
practice will prove vital come
championship season.”
MCGUINESS NAMED –
Scranton sophomore Bill
McGuiness (Wyoming Valley
West) was named to the Nation-
al Soccer Coaches Association
of America Mid-Atlantic third
team.
The 5-foot-9 junior (sopho-
more eligibility) earlier was
named to the Landmark Confer-
ence first team. He played in just
10 of 17 games and started six
but scored two goals and had
three assists for the Royals, who
finished 6-8-3 overall and 3-3-1 in
league play. All of his goals and
assists came in games Scranton
either won or tied.
A transfer from Villanova, he
was a second-team All-Land-
mark choice as a freshman.

This season Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton Penguins defenseman
Brian Strait experienced some-
thing for the first time in his ca-
reer: an injury that forced him
out of the lineup for an extended
period.
Strait, 23, suffered a hyperex-
tended left elbowon Oct. 18 dur-
ing his first game of the season
with Pittsburgh. The timing
couldn’t have been worse.
After a strong training camp
withPittsburgh, Strait beganthe
season with Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton and went on a tear. He
posted a goal and four points in
his first five games before being
summoned to Pittsburgh.
But the stretch came to an
abrupt when, playing in the
fourth NHL game of his career
and first this season, Strait in-
jured his elbow and wasn’t able
to finish the game.
For the next two-and-a-half
months, Strait watched while
the Pittsburgh defense was dev-
astated with injuries, creating
opportunities for playing time
for other blueliners in the sys-
tem.
He missed the next 25 games
before being reassigned to
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton last
weekend, where he saw his first
action in Monday’s contest
against Albany.
“It was tough,” Strait said of
the missed opportunity to log
some NHL games. “But there’s
nothing you can do. You just
have to concentrate on the fu-
ture and progress now, get my
game back and help this team
win and help Pittsburgh win.”
Dating back to his college ca-
reer in 2006 with Boston Univer-
sity, the most time Strait ever
missed in a season was a few
weeks due to a strained MCL.
During his first two years as a
pro from 2009 to 2011, Strait
played in 78 games each season,
including three last year with
Pittsburgh.
Missing almost three months
wasn’t easy.
“It was a long time,” Strait
said. “It’s definitely different. At
this point in the season every-
one’s going and you’re kind of
playing catch up.”
Strait made it through his first
game action on Monday un-
scathed. He played a regular
shift and tested the elbowby not
shying away from contact.
It was a good first test, both
physically and mentally.
“I was a little hesitant, a little
nervous at first. I felt it a little
bit,” Strait said. “But it was noth-
ing serious and everything went
away.
“I think the fact I went
through a game and came out
healthy, mindset wise it was
good that way. I know my arm
isn’t madeof glass andit’s not go-
ing to fall apart.”
Strait’s game didn’t fall apart
either during the long layoff.
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton head
coach John Hynes said Strait
looked confident on Monday.
“He made some good deci-
sions with the puck and in the
harder areas of the game he
looked pretty good,” Hynes said.
The Penguins went on a six-
day Christmas break beginning
Tuesday, but Strait has had
enough with being away. He’s
going to spend the week skating
and sharpening up his game be-
cause, as Strait sees it, there is at
least one advantage that result-
ed from the injury.
“The season wears on you and
I’mgoing to be playing 50 games
or so this year, so I might have a
little more jump,” he said. “You
have totake the positives andtry
to block out the negatives and
move forward.”

Roster moves
The Penguins made several
roster moves on Tuesday.
Forward Chris Barton and
defenseman Peter Merth were
returned to Wheeling while
defenseman Dan Henningson
will head back to the Chicago
Express (ECHL).
The reigning ECHL Rookie
of the Month, Barton was held
scoreless in three appearances
with the Penguins. The
24-year old native of Calgary
has registered 26 points (15
goals, 11aassists) over 21 games
during his rookie season with
the Nailers.
Merth appeared in four
games with the Penguins and
had an assist and was a plus-3.
Henningson also had an
assist in five games with the
Penguins and was a plus-2.
There are adjustments to
make as Dennis Mishko and
John Bucci go from being col-
lege and high school coaches to
guiding the new Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre Steamers.
Mishko and Bucci, the co-
coaches, need to make sure the
Steamers players who are fresh
out of college prepare alongwith
them for the Premier Basketball
League’s use of NBA rules, such
as the defensive 3-second call.
The 24-second clock, howev-
er, is not expected to present a
problem.
“The 24-second clock when I
coached at (Bishop) Hannan
never would have been an is-
sue,” said Bucci, who serves as
general manager of the team
that debuts in Rochester, N.Y.,
on New Year’s Eve and plays its
home opener Jan. 6 at the Lacka-
wanna College Student Union.
“It never would have been an is-
sue for Dennis at Keystone.”
Bucci’s Bishop Hannan teams
won a state title and played in
two other state championship
games. He was named Associat-
ed Press Small School Coach of
the Year after his 2002 cham-
pionship.
Mishko led Keystone College
to a 520-160 record and two na-
tional tournament appearances
in 25 years.
Both led teams that were
known for their up-tempo style.
“It’s interesting running prac-
tice with that clock running all
the time,” Mishko said. “We
have five basic sets. You have
about eight seconds to get up
court and get into the offense.
Then, you have 14-16 seconds
left. Youneedtoget intoit quick-
ly.
“The first pass may not be for
a shot, but your second or third
better be.”
Mishko said there is no sense
building a “continuity offense”
that teams run over and over to
work through for shots.
The Steamers practiced
twice-a-day throughout the
week before taking a holiday
break.
The teamhas11players onthe
roster andcanstill addone more
before the opener.
“It’s pretty neat,” Mishko said.
“The learning curve is tremen-
dous. Some of the kids are right
out of college.”
Bucci emphasized that unlike
past semi-pro basketball ven-
tures in the area, the PBL is a
professional league in which the
players settle into their host city
for 3½ months, practicing to-
gether all week, rather than
gathering for weekend games.
“People think of semi-profes-
sional where they have another
job,” Bucci said. “That’s not
what this is. These guys came
here fromall over the country to
play basketball. It’s a true profes-
sional league.”
The Steamers do have one lo-
cal player in point guard Ste-
phon Draper, who went from
Scranton High School and Lack-
awanna College to Division II
Shippensburg University.
Draper is one of four players
from Pennsylvania colleges.
Rob Robinson, a 6-foot-8 pow-
er forward from Robert Morris,
is one of the early bright spots.
Jabril Bailey is a forward from
Slippery Rock and Daniel Miller
is a swingman fromEastern Uni-
versity.
Chris Commons, who the
teamdraftedout of SouthCaroli-
na-Aiken, was impressive in the
first intrasquad scrimmage, ac-
cording to Bucci.
Draper, point guard Brandon
Tunnell from Hampton Univer-
sity and guard Tyler Bullock
from Nebraska-Omaha also got
off to strong starts in training
camp.
Tunnell is one of two guards
fromHampton. The other is Vin-
cent Simpson.
The rest of the roster is:
swingman Darrion Griffin from
Jackson State; forward Nemanja
Jokic from C.W. Post; and post
player K.C. Robbins from Illi-
nois-Chicago.
The Steamers will compete in
the Eastern Conference with the
Charleston Gunners, Dayton Air
Strikes, Lake Michigan Admi-
rals and Rochester RazorSharks,
their opponent in the first two
games.
The Central Conference fea-
tures the Central Illinois Drive,
Chicago Muscle, Indiana Die-
sels, Northwest Indiana Stars,
Sauk Valley Predators and St.
Louis Phoenix.

For The Times Leader
PHILADELPHIA — An ap-
peals court has overturned the
attempted prostitution convic-
tion of a Philadelphia woman
who was accused of offering sex-
ual favors for World Series tick-
ets.
Authorities had alleged that
Susan Finkelstein posted a racy
online ad, then met with an un-
dercover Bensalem police offi-
cer in October 2009 and offered
to perform sexual acts in ex-
change for tickets to see the Phi-
ladelphia Phillies and New York
Yankees.
Finkelstein acknowledged
placing a “goofy” ad on Craig-
slist andhopingtouse her “femi-
nine wiles” to get tickets, but de-
nied offering favors and said she
wasn’t a prostitute.
At trial last year, Finkelstein
was acquittedof prostitutionbut
convicted of attempted prostitu-
tion.
The state Superior Court
ruled Tuesday that since Finkel-
stein was cleared of the more se-
rious prostitution count, she
could not be convicted of at-
tempt because the proof re-
quired to sustain both charges
was the same. Also, the court
noted, Finkelstein was not en-
gaged in “sexual activity as a
business” and said the crime of
prostitution was not intended to
“criminalize private illicit sexual
relations.”
Finkelstein’s attorney, Wil-
liamBrennan, saidhis client was
elated by the decision.
Stephen Harris, chief of ap-
peals for the Bucks County dis-
trict attorney, said prosecutors
disagree with the court’s reason-
ingbut that nodecisionhas been
made on whether to appeal.

U.S. markets gain 3%
United States stock markets surged 3
percent Tuesday following encouraging
signs out of Europe and a jump in
apartment construction in the U.S. It
was the best day for U.S. stocks this
month.
The Spanish government pulled off a
successful debt auction Tuesday and
gauges of business and consumer confi-
dence in Germany increased. Both
helped ease worries about Europe’s
debt crisis.
Only six stocks on the S&P 500
index fell. Trading volume was light at
3.8 billion.
State unemployment falls
Unemployment rates fell in 43 states
in November, the highest number of
states to report such declines in eight
years.
The falling state rates reflect the
brightening jobs picture nationally.
The U.S. unemployment rate fell sharp-
ly in November to 8.6 percent, the
lowest since March 2009. The economy
has generated 100,000 or more jobs five
months in a row — the first time that’s
happened since 2006, before the Great
Recession.
Pennsylvania’s unemployment rate
was 7.9 percent in November, down
from 8.1 percent in October.
Shoppers return to stores
Sales at stores opened at least a year
rose 3.4 percent for the week ended
Saturday compared with the previous
week, according to the International
Council of Shopping Centers-Goldman
Sachs Weekly Chain Store Sales Index,
released Tuesday.
That follows two consecutive weekly
declines, compared with the previous
weeks, as shoppers took a break after a
discount-fueled spending spree over
the Thanksgiving weekend, the official
start of the holiday shopping season.
Stanford now competent
A forensic psychologist testified
Tuesday that jailed Texas financier R.
Allen Stanford is mentally stable and
competent to be tried next month on
charges he bilked investors out of $7
billion in a massive Ponzi scheme
Stanford had been declared incompe-
tent in January due to an addiction to
an anti-anxiety drug he developed
while jailed in Houston. He spent more
than eight months being treated at a
federal prison hospital in Butner, N.C.

COUNTING ON CHRISTMAS
PETE G. WILCOX/THE TIMES LEADER
S
am Siracuse of ParenteBeard reads ‘Making the Holidays Count’ to Luzerne County Head Start stu-
dents in teacher Aimee Schneider’s class on Tuesday. The accounting firm produced the book that is
meant to show children the importance of math in their daily lives.
WASHINGTON — A surge in apart-
ment construction gave home builders
more work in November. And permits, a
gauge of future construction, rose large-
ly because of a jump in apartment per-
mits.
Some analysts say the gains, though
coming off extremely lowlevels, suggest
the depressed housing industry may
have reached a turning point.
Economists now say 2011 will be the
first year since the Great Recession be-
gan in 2007 that home construction will
have helped the economy grow. Before
this year, the industry endured two of
the worst years ever.
“Homebuilding is through the worst
and is now steadily improving,” said
Paul Diggle, a property economist at
Capital Economics.
Builders broke ground on a seasonally
adjustedannual rateof 685,000homes in
November, a 9.3 percent jump from Oc-
tober, the government said Tuesday. It’s
the highest level since April 2010.
Still, the rate is far below the 1.2 mil-
lion homes that economists say would
be built each year in a healthy housing
market.
Construction of single-family homes
rose 2.3 percent in November to a sea-
sonally adjusted annual rate of 447,000.
Apartment construction jumped 32 per-
cent to a rate of 238,000 units. Single-
family homes historically account for
about 70 percent of homebuilding.
For the year, work is expected to have
begun on 430,000 single-family homes
and 185,000 apartments. Those figures
remain far below the roughly 840,000
single-family homes and 360,000 apart-
ments that would be started in a healthy
economy.
Patrick Newport and Michelle Val-
verde, U.S. economists at IHS Global In-
sight, said the better-than-expected fig-
ures show that the housing industry is
“finally getting off the mat.”
Permits rose 5.7 percent last month to
a seasonally adjusted annual rate of
681,000, boosted by a16 percent jump in
permits for apartment buildings, to
246,000.
Home building

turning point

AP Real Estate Writer
NEW YORK — Fewer people will fly
this holiday season, but flights will be
packed.
That’s according to a forecast re-
leased Tuesday by the main trade group
representing U.S. airlines. Airlines for
America predicts that about 43.3 mil-
lion travelers will fly on U.S. carriers
over the three-week holiday period, a 1
percent decline froma year earlier. That
works out to about 20,000 fewer people
per day. The trade group attributes the
decline to “lingering economic con-
cerns” and high energy prices that are
limiting would-be travelers’ disposable
income.
About 1.6 million to 2.3 million peo-
ple are forecast to fly each day between
Wednesday and the first week of Janu-
ary.
Even with fewer passengers, fliers
won’t have more room to stretch out.
Flights will be full because airlines have
reduced the number of flights and
planes, the trade group said.
Fuller planes mean more delays if
something goes wrong. Last year, when
major snowstorms shut airports and
crippled airlines, millions of travelers
waited days to find other travel options.
A4Adidn’t offer a specific forecast for
what passengers are paying to fly. But
its chief economist, John Heimlich, ex-
pects fares in December will be on par
withthe rest of 2011, or about10percent
higher than a year ago.
Even with higher fares, A4A notes
that airlines are holdingontoless thana
penny in profit for every dollar in reve-
nue. That’s because operating expens-
es, mostly due to higher fuel prices, are
climbing just as fast as sales.
Holiday season flying to fall slightly this year, trade group says

MENTIONCODE: FSPC
Beginning on January 1, 2012, employees of the Dallas Area Municipal Authority will provide collection of
solid waste and recycling for the residents of Dallas Borough, Dallas Township, and Kingston Township. The
following changes will become effective at that time:
1. Rate Reduction: The 2012 DAMASolid Waste rate will be reduced by $30.00, from the current rate of
$260.00 per household, to a new rate of $230.00 per household per year. Fees for additional services such as
extra bag stickers will remain at the 2011 pricing.
2. Driveway Service: DAMAis unable to provide driveway service to those customers that have contracts
with our current hauler for this convenience. Please make other arrangements to insure that your trash and
recycling is placed curbside for collection on the correct day for your service area.
3. Recycling Changes: We are moving to Asingle stream@ recycling program. This means that all
recyclables, to include glass, plastic, metal cans, paper, and cardboard can be placed in the same container
on the same day for collection. Collection of recycling will now be every other week, beginning the
week of January 9th. For example, if your regular collection day is on a Monday, you will place trash
only curbside on January 2, 2012. The following week, January 9th, you can place your trash and all of your
recycling curbside, and so on.
The Handicapped Program and Hardship Program will remain as in prior years. Our goal is to provide
our solid waste customers with the highest level of service in the most efficient and cost effective manner
possible. Watch your mail for the 2012 DAMANewsletter and Collection Schedule, to be delivered soon.
As always, the cooperation of our residents is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
The Board of Directors and Staff of the Dallas Area Municipal Authority

Today’s wet
weather is a con-
sequence of
being on the
warm side of the
same storm that
brought blizzard
conditions to the
Midwest earlier
this week. As
temperatures
rise into the 40s,
the rain will per-
sist into the
afternoon, then
come to an end
early tonight.
Rainfall will be 3-
to 6-tenths of an
inch. On
Thursday, the
first day of win-
ter, readings will
once again rise
well into the 40s
with some sun-
shine. Expect
more rain
Thursday night
into Friday morn-
ing that might
change to snow.
The amounts
should be rela-
tively light. The
weather looks
dry Saturday, but
there remains a
chance for snow
by Sunday night.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: A storm system will dominate the eastern part of the nation. Showers and
thunderstorms can be expected over much of the Southeast, with showers and isolated thunder-
storms over the Mid-Atlantic. Rain will be likely over much of the Northeast, with a mix of rain and
snow in the north. Snow showers will fall from the northern Rockies to the northern Great Lakes.

CLARK VAN ORDEN/THE TIMES LEADER
Ruth Corcoran of Cork Bar & Res-
taurant in Wilkes-Barre prepared
these Fresh Mozzarella Stack and
Crab Apple Martini appetizers.
As though the candy canes on
the tree and the presents under it
aren’t enough, here’s an excuse to
have an even sweeter start to
Christmas.
Cinnamon buns were the in-
spiration.
And while on their own they
make a delicious breakfast, I want-
ed to take them a little further.
So I chopped them up, drenched
them in eggs and milk, then baked
them into an insanely delicious
(and simple) bread pudding.
To keep this recipe from becom-
ing entirely heart stopping, I used
fat-free half-and-half (skim milk is
fine, too).
If you wanted, you also could use
liquid egg substitute (egg whites)
to cut the fat even further.
And to help keep you focused on
what really matters on Christmas
morning (the presents!), this bread
pudding can be assembled the
night before, then covered and
refrigerated.
Bake as directed the next morn-
ing.
•••
CINNAMON BUN BREAD PUDDING
This recipe calls for 12 fully baked
cinnamon buns.
Get them at the bakery or in the
grocer’s baking section.
If you get raw cinnamon buns, bake
them according to package directions,
let them cool, then use them as direct-
ed in this recipe.
Start to finish: 1 hour (15 minutes
active)

6 eggs
1 1/2 cups fat-free half-and-half or
skim milk
2 teaspoons cinnamon, divided
Pinch salt
12 large glazed cinnamon buns
1 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Heat the oven to 350 F. Coat a
9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking

Cinnamon-bun bread pudding a sweet start

When we started dreaming up
ideas for holiday cakes, we knew
we wanted three things: warm
spices, sweet-tart fruit and a
moist crumb.
This holiday cranberry-pear
layer cake delivers. We com-
bined ginger, cinnamon and
cardamom for rich, warm fla-
vors that not only are baked into
the cake but are repeated in the
thick cream cheese frosting
slathered over it.
To balance those spices, we
turned to fruit. Dried cranber-
ries are in the cake, while grated
orange zest is added to the
frosting. Additional strips of
orange zest can be scattered
over the top for a marmalade-
like contrast to the creamy frost-
ing.
•••
CRANBERRY PEAR CAKE
Start to finish: 1 hour (plus cool-
ing)
Servings: 16
For the cake:
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon dry ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
3 pears (or one 28-ounce can
pear halves, drained), finely
chopped (2 cups total)
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups chopped dried cranberries
For the frosting:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter,
room temperature
2 cups powdered sugar
Zest of 1 orange
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon dry ginger
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Two 8-ounce packages cream
cheese
Strips of orange zest (optional)
Dried cranberries, to decorate
(optional)
Heat the oven to 350 F. Lightly
coat two 9-inch round cake pans
with baking spray. Line the bottom
of each pan with parchment paper.
In the bowl of an electric mixer,
beat together the granulated
sugar, butter, ginger, cinnamon,
baking soda, baking powder, salt
and vanilla until creamy smooth.
Add the eggs, one at a time, scrap-
ing the sides of the bowl between
additions.
Add the pears and flour and mix
until combined. Stir in the cranber-
ries. Divide the batter between the
two prepared cake pans and bake
for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a
wooden pick inserted at the center
comes out clean. Allow to cool in
the pan for 10 minutes, then turn
out onto a wire rack to finish cool-
ing completely.
When the cake is completely
cooled, make the frosting. In the
bowl of an electric mixer, beat
together the butter, powdered
sugar, orange zest, cardamom,
ginger and cinnamon until creamy
smooth. Add the cream cheese and
mix until completely incorporated.
To assemble the cake, place 1
cake on a serving plate, spread
about 3/4 cup of the frosting even-
ly over the top of it. Place the
second cake over it. Spread the
remaining frosting over the top
and sides of the cake, swirling the
frosting. Decorate with strips of
orange zest and dried cranberries,
if desired. Refrigerate until ready
to serve.

Beautiful
frosted
cake for
Christmas

For The Associated Press
T
he key to a great holiday party is a relaxed host. And that is easier than it sounds. All it takes is a
little planning. When I entertain, I make sure all the food can be prepared and served or set out on
a buffet with very little effort. At the very most, I include only one menu item that has to be
cooked just before serving. For that reason, I find beef tenderloin to be my entertaining slam dunk.
Everyone loves beef tenderloin, and
it is good served chilled, at room
temperature or warm. If you are serv-
ing it chilled or at room temperature,
it can be made the day before, mak-
ing it even more convenient.
It also is economical because you
can slice it thin and get 20 to 25 por-
tions out of a single tenderloin. If you
like, you can splurge and buy prime
tenderloin. Or if you plan in advance
you can employ my trick and “wet
age” it yourself in the refrigerator,
resulting in a tenderloin with great
depth of flavor.
Home wet-aging is effortless and
especially handy because you can buy
the tenderloin when it is on sale and
save it for a future party or parties.
Make sure you purchase a tenderloin
that has been shrink-sealed (no air in
the packaging). Once the meat is
exposed to air, you have to cook it or
it will go bad.
But in airtight packaging, you can
let the meat “age” in your refrigerator
for up to six weeks. Many restaurants
do this, and you can really tell the
difference in the end product.
I place a couple of tenderloins in
the back of my meat drawer and turn
them every couple of days. I then
schedule an alert on my calendar for
two, four and six weeks to remind me
that they are in my refrigerator wait-
ing to be cooked.
If I am feeling ambitious, I smoke
the tenderloins with a combination of
pecan and cherry wood and serve
them chilled the next day. If I don’t
have that much time, I sear them on
the outdoor grill or a stovetop grill
pan and finish roasting them with

At a recent meeting of the Rotary Club of Dallas, the theme for the evening was raising funds and food
to help the Back Mountain Food Pantry meet the needs of dozens of families for Thanksgiving and
Christmas. A mini-auction was held followed by a raffle. More than $400 was raised and more than 300
pounds of food was donated. With some of the donations, from left: Todd Buckley; Kris Reitz; Ann Marie
Konek; Jerry Reisch; Randy Loyd; and Ken Chapple, president.

The key to a perfect beef
tenderloin is to season it simply
and not overcook it. I take the
meat out when the internal
temperature reaches 130 F and
let it rest for a minimum of 15
minutes, the longer the better
so that the juices redistribute
and every slice is rosy pink with
a soft, tender and buttery tex-
ture.
Beef tenderloin itself is a
crowd-pleaser, but I always have
a couple of options to dress it
up. My favorite is this very
simple but light and tangy
horseradish cream. I make it just
before my guests arrive and set
it out with the meat and a small
selection of dinner rolls. Pum-
pernickel is my favorite, but
seeded hard rolls, soft brioche
and/or a crusty baguette also
are good choices. Your guests
can make their own sandwiches
or eat the tenderloin simply
with a dollop of the fluffy horse-
radish cream.
•••
HOLIDAY BEEF TENDERLOIN
WITH HORSERADISH CREAM
Start to finish: 2 hours (15 minutes
active)
Servings: 20
For the meat:
5-pound whole beef tenderloin
2 tablespoons olive oil
For the rub:
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon coarsely ground
black pepper
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
For the horseradish cream:
1 pint heavy cream
1 to 2 tablespoons refrigerated,
white prepared horseradish
(not horseradish cream)
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Fine-grain sea salt
Dinner rolls
Remove the meat from the
refrigerator and let come to room
temperature, about 1 hour.
When the meat is ready, use
paper towels to dry it. Brush the
meat all over with a thin coat of
olive oil. Set aside.
Heat a grill to high.
To prepare the rub, in a small
bowl mix together the salt, pepper,
garlic and cayenne. Sprinkle the
rub evenly over the tenderloin.
Place the tenderloin directly on
the cooking grate and sear for 2
minutes on each side over direct
high heat. After all the sides are
seared, reduce one side of the grill
to medium and the other side to
the lowest possible heat. Set the
meat over the cooler side and grill
for another 30 to 40 minutes for
medium-rare, or until a thermome-
ter inserted at the thickest spot
reads 130 F.
Alternatively, the tenderloin can
be seared in a large skillet on the
stovetop, then set on a rack over a
rimmed baking sheet and roasted
at 350 F.
When the tenderloin is done,
transfer it to a platter, cover with
foil and let rest for 15 minutes.
While the beef rests, pour the
cream into a large stainless-steel
bowl. Using an electric mixer, whip
the cream on high until it forms
soft peaks. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons
of prepared horseradish. Taste and
adjust, adding more horseradish if
you like it stronger. Season to taste
with lemon juice and salt.
Thinly slice the beef and serve
with horseradish cream and dinner
rolls.

the cinnamon and the salt. Puree
or whisk until smooth. Set aside.
Cut each cinnamon bun into 1- to
2-inch chunks. Arrange the chunks
in an even layer in the prepared
baking pan. Pour the egg mixture
over the pieces of cinnamon buns.
As you pour, use a fork to gently
press on the bun pieces to help
them absorb the liquid.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or
until lightly puffed and starting to
brown. Let cool for 15 to 20 min-
utes.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl
whisk together the powdered
sugar, water, vanilla and remaining 1
teaspoon of cinnamon.
To serve, drizzle the bread pud-
ding with the glaze, then cut it into
12 squares.

HOW TO CONTACT:
Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Ange-
les, CA 90069
For more Sudoku go to www.timesleader.com
O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I’m a
25-year-old guy with
a unique problem.
My father has been
dating a woman
since I was 16 who
has a daughter my
age named “Emma.”
Over the years Emma and I became
good friends — then more than that.
About a year ago, I told her I had de-
veloped feelings for her, which drove
her off. We haven’t talked since. She
now lives in another state with her
boyfriend, and I’m happy for her.
With the holidays here, Dad ex-
pects me to go to all of the events and
get-togethers. I made up excuses last
year to avoid them, but don’t think
I can do that again. I want to escape
the awkward interaction with Emma
and her boyfriend because I still have
feelings for her. I don’t know how to
handle this. Help, please.
— Running From the Holidays
Dear Running: You don’t have to
attend “all” the events and get-
togethers, but you should attend a
few. When you do, consider bringing
a friend with you and minimizing the
contact you have with Emma and her
boyfriend. Observe the social ameni-
ties, keep the conversation brief and
casual, and concentrate on the rest of
the family.
While the initial contact may be
painful, this is no different than any
other romance that didn’t work out.
The awkwardness will pass if you
concentrate on something else.
Dear Abby: I have been living with
my daughter and her family for two
years because I lost my job. I don’t
pay rent, but help out with the utili-
ties and buy my own groceries. I also
baby-sit for them several days a week.
The only money I have is an inheri-
tance my father left me to live on,
and it is dissipating quickly.
I have met a man and have fallen
in love with him. I plan to move in
with him soon. The problem is my
daughter and son-in-law owe me
money. They promised it would be
repaid, but when I ask when, they
give me the run-around. (They always
have money for tattoos, movies and
concerts, though.) They also expect
me to baby-sit for them on weekends,
but that’s the only time I can see my
boyfriend.
How do I tell them I want to live
my own life? I want to be free and not
have to worry about them needing
me to baby-sit and making me feel
guilty about it. I’m afraid they’ll say
that because I lived with them, they
no longer owe me the money. Any
suggestions would be appreciated.
— Frustrated in K.C., Mo.
Dear Frustrated: I presume your
daughter and son-in-law have met
your boyfriend? Announce the good
news that you will be living with him;
it shouldn’t be shocking. Ask again
for the money that they owe you.
Be pleasant, but firm, and don’t let
it escalate into an argument. If they
say they don’t have it, ask them to
sign (and date) a note promising to
repay it at a later date. That will be
your proof that a loan was extended.
If they refuse, with no proof that you
loaned them money, you won’t have
leverage to force them to pay up.
As for the baby-sitting, do it when
it’s convenient for you. If they want
“freedom” on some weekends, let
them pay you instead of a sitter and
work off their obligation that way.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Man dreads family holiday events that aren’t likely to be very merry
To receive a collection of Abby’s most memo-
rable — and most frequently requested — po-
ems and essays, send a business-sized, self-
addressed envelope, plus check or money
order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear
Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Mor-
ris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). It used
to be a “you or me” world. Now
it’s a “you and me world,” and
you find it easy to include oth-
ers in your plans and find ways
to help each other and mutually
benefit from the effort.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll
provide excellent conversation
and entertainment for anyone
lucky enough to be around you
today. You’re not trying to be
funny, but your natural humor
will shine through.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s a
strange predicament you’re in
today. You’ll walk the fine line,
deciding what to reveal and what
to keep to yourself. You’ll do this
with commendable grace.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You
wish you could tell everyone to
“just behave.” Whether or not
they listen is another story. But
you can be very convincing,
especially when you get that
serious look in your eye.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Because of
your sophisticated mind, you can
respect the other person’s point
of view even when you don’t
share it. You treat the other per-
son with dignity and set a tone
of behavior for both of you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll
make a goal, fully knowing that
it may be futile. That part really
doesn’t matter. That you have
the heart and conviction is what
matters most.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). How
can you speak convincingly
about something you know little
about? You can’t. That’s why
you’ll dive in and try to learn
everything there is to know
about your subject of interest.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You
see life as a privilege. And you’ll
help someone who takes life for
granted. You won’t have to do
anything special to provide this
help.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Ask friends for advice and help.
Whatever is going on inside their
heads, they will share with you.
You have the kind of demeanor
that makes people want to give
you everything.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You
won’t mind giving extra care to
children, the elderly and/or other
needy individuals in your life.
Someone has to, and it just so
happens that right now you have
more to give.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your
willingness to treat people the
way they want to be treated will
be most appreciated. What about
you? Don’t you deserve some
special treatment, too? Well, you
do, and you will get it.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Somehow you’ll manage to
charm people without even try-
ing. It’s not entirely a blessing.
Still, you might be uncertain of
what to do with all the attention.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 21).
When you reflect back on this
year, you’ll do so with a feeling
of deep satisfaction. In January,
you will learn a new language
or assimilate with an interest-
ing subculture. February brings
intriguing social opportunities.
There’s a shot at the “big time”
in March. Changes in your fam-
ily will favorably affect you in
March. Gemini and Virgo people
adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 30, 7, 1, 24 and 28.

NOTICE OF PRELIMINARY PERMIT APPLI-
CATION ACCEPTED FOR FILING AND
SOLICITING COMMENTS, MOTIONS TO
INTERVENE, AND COMPETING
APPLICATIONS
(November 14, 2011)
On November 1, 2011, Francis
Walter Hydro, LLC, filed an application for
a preliminary permit, pursuant to section
4(f) of the Federal Power Act (FPA), pro-
posing to study the feasibility of
hydropower at the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (Corps) Francis E. Walter Dam
located on the Lehigh River, in Luzerne
County, Pennsylvania. The sole purpose of
a preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant
the permit holder priority to file a license
application during the permit term. A pre-
liminary permit does not authorize the per-
mit holder to perform any land-disturbing
activities or otherwise enter upon lands or
waters owned by others without the own-
ers’ express permission.
The proposed Francis E. Walter
Hydroelectric Project would consist of the
following: (1) a 600-foot-long, 16-foot-
diameter steel penstock attached to the
existing outlet; (2) a concrete powerhouse
50 feet long by 75 feet wide; (3) two 4.5-
megawatt (MW) generators for a total
installed capacity of 9.0 MW; (4) a tailrace
channel to direct flow back to the Lehigh
River; (5) a proposed 0.5-mile-long, 12.4-
kilovolt transmission line interconnecting
with an existing Pennsylvania Power and
Light Corporation distribution line; and (6)
appurtenant facilities. The estimated
annual generation of the project would be
26.0 gigawatt-hours.
