Department’s chief already faces theft, other charges in probe

WILKES-BARRE TWP. – State police Friday returned to the Wilkes-Barre Township Volunteer Fire Department to serve a search warrant and continue an investigation of the organization. Warrants served in October 2010 led to the filing of theft and related charges against the department’s chief, John Paul Yuknavich. Tpr. Lisa Brogan, who filed those charges last December, was among the investigators at the firehouse on Watson Street for nearly two hours.

Investigators placed five cardboard boxes in an unmarked state police car around 5:30 p.m. and a fire department member locked the building after they left.

Pennsylvania State Police officials get ready to leave carrying boxes following a search at the Wilkes-Barre Township Fire Department Friday. A Luzerne County judge signed a warrant for Friday’s action and ordered it sealed.

On Thursday state police took records voluntarily provided by the township regarding the $100,000 it donates annually to the department. Mayor Carl Kuren said investigators were looking for “what we give them in donations, what bills we pay.” He listed insurance, fuel for vehicles and utilities among the bills paid by the township. “Whatever records they wanted from our place we gave it to them,” he said. The mayor added he did not

Council looks at amending budget

With most members opposed to a tax hike, cost cuts are sought. By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

COURTS SPEAK OUT

Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas President Judge Thomas Burke prepared a statement about budget issues on Friday. It will appear in Sunday’s opinion section. Burke discusses the negative impact of the county’s $415 million debt burden on the county budget, saying debt has put a “stranglehold” on council’s ability to adequately fund departments.

He also reiterates the Constitutional requirement to meet “the reasonable necessity standard” in funding courts, saying the court “will have little recourse but to pursue a legal remedy” if it is not adequately funded. Burke also cites the court’s caseloads and said the court will continue to explore options to cut costs and increase revenue.

Contraceptives plan is extended Obama administration allows Catholic hospitals extra year to comply with law. By LAURIE McGINLEY Tribune Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration announced Friday that it will give Catholic hospitals and other religious institutions an extra year to comply with a new requirement that most health plans provide contraceptive benefits at no cost to their members. The administration, however, held fast to the mandate that most health plans eventually offer free contraception. That infuriated Catholic bishops and some other religious leaders,

who had vigorously opposed the rule as a violation of their religious liberty. They wanted a broad swath of religious organizations exempted from the rule. Important election-year constituents — women’s advocates and liberal groups — were delighted by the administration’s hold-the-line decision. They had been worried the White House might exempt large numbers of religiously affiliated employers, such as Catholic hospitals and universities. Places of worship, including churches and synagogues, already were exempt. By refusing to broaden the exemption, "In effect the president is saying that we have a year to figure out how to violate our

consciences," complained Cardinal-designate Timothy M. Dolan, archbishop of New York and president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. Sister Jane Marie Klein, chairperson of the board of Francis-

can Alliance Inc., a system of 13 Catholic hospitals, said, "This is nothing less than a direct attack on religion and First Amendment rights." Women’s groups praised the administration. The decision

"means that millions of women, who would otherwise pay $15 to $50 a month, will have access to affordable birth control, helping to save hundreds of dollars each year," said Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood. Jon O’Brien, the president of Catholics for Choice, praised the administration’s move, noting that "the bishops pulled out all the stops in their campaign" against the requirement. "This was a victory for common sense and scientific advice in the interests of the common good," he added. The new rule stems from a provision in Obama’s health care law that aims to increase workers’ use of preventive services by requiring that the services be provided at no cost.

Fire Friday night caused extensive damage to an apartment at 159 S. Welles St. in WilkesBarre. The fire was reported around 9 p.m. and quickly extinguished, but the dwelling is unlivable because of the damage, said Wilkes-Barre Assistant Fire Chief Thomas Makar. ‘Fortunately the resident is either in a hospital or temporarily in a nursing home,’ said Makar. The first-floor living area sustained the heaviest fire damage, he said, and the city fire inspector is investigating the cause.

A Luzerne County judge signed the warrant for Friday’s search and ordered it sealed.

Pennsylvania Auditor General’s Bureau of Charitable Donations in March 2008 for information on the operation of the department. The subsequent investigation revealed Yuknavich, 48, controlled the department’s finances and was president of the township Volunteer Firefighters’ Relief Association, which receives state funding for training, equipment purchases and insurance. Association officers said they had not seen any of the bookkeeping ledgers or documents relating to the association’s bank accounts. The affidavit of probable cause

filed to support the charges against the chief said Yuknavich withdrew $11,865 in cash from the department’s hall account between October 2008 and August 2010 that was not used for operations or expenses. In addition, it said, he used the hall’s credit card for Sam’s Club to make a total of $3,706 in purchases for his personal use between June 2009 and May 2011. Yuknavich was charged with theft by unlawful taking, receiving stolen property and access device fraud. He is free on bail and awaits a preliminary hearing.

Legislation would restrict municipalities’ ability to use zoning to control gas industry

Borough battling proposed law

John Yudichak, DPlymouth Twp.

The Harveys Lake Borough Council has taken aim at state legislation under debate in Harrisburg that would impose fees on natural gas drillers, creating funds to disperse to affected municipalities. The seven-member council on Tuesday signed a letter to state Sen. Lisa Baker, R-Lehman Township, and state Rep. Karen Boback, R-Harveys Lake, urging them to vote against two bills establishing impact fees because the

Senate bill would limit the authority of municipalities to regulate gas industry activities through zoning. “I think a majority of everybody, all of Baker the public as well as all the council members, feel that our own community has a better knowledge and concern for the environment and the ecosystem that surrounds us,” said Council President Larry Radel.

After months of research and revision, the council in October approved changes to the borough zoning ordinance regulating and restricting gas drilling and other associated activities in the borough. Council chose to strengthen its zoning ordinance rather than ban drilling, as local anti-drilling advocates suggested. Radel said the Senate Bill, introduced by Senate President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati, R-Jefferson, and approved by the Senate Appropriations

Natural gas truck added

Plains Township has a new recycling truck powered entirely by natural gas. The township commissioners joined officials from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection state Sen. John Yudichak, D-Plymouth Township, and representatives of UGI Utilities Inc., in unveiling the truck this week. The $180,000 vehicle was purchased, in part, with a $149,000 grant from DEP, and will refuel at a natural gas refilling station installed by UGI in the township public works department garage. The township secured the DEP grant in 2010 and then had the truck designed and built. It is the first truck of its kind in the region. The township anticipates the vehicle will save money in fuel costs – a gallon of natural gas costs about $1.50 per gallon versus more than $4 a gallon for diesel fuel. Installing a gas fueling station also allowed the township to convert its garage heating system to natural gas, resulting in additional cost savings. Officials also said the truck will allow the borough to tap into energy produced locally from the Marcellus Shale.

Officials plan public forum

Officials from the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency will hold a public forum on Monday to discuss the process for distributing a $2.15 million court settlement to projects that will benefit the health, safety and general welfare of children living in Luzerne County. The forum will run from 6 to 7 p.m. in the Burke Auditorium inside King’s College’s McGowan School of Business, 131 N. River St., Wilkes-Barre. The money comes from a settlement reached with Robert Mericle, a cooperating defendant in a scheme that involved judicial kickbacks and two for-profit youth detention centers. WILKES-BARRE

PLAINS TWP. – The Luzerne County District Attorney’s Office withdrew a felony count of discharge of a firearm into an occupied structure and other firearms-related charges against Michael Kozloski, 28, during a preliminary hearing before District Judge Diana Malast on Friday. Township police allege a partially nude Kozloski terrorized East Oak Street with a hunting rifle for 45 minutes on Jan. 7. Kozloski was initially charged with firing a round that passed into a private residence used as the municipal tax office. The round struck a medicine cabinet in a bathroom and became lodged in a wall, according to arrest records. Police said the homeowner was in an adjacent room at the time of the shooting. During the preliminary hearing, Assist-

ant District Attorney Mark Makowski via speakerphone withdrew charges of firing the rifle into an occupied house, illegal possession of a weapon, possession of a weapon, and two counts each of aggravated assault, simple assault and reckless endangerment. Kozloski, through his lawyer, Jonathan Ursiak, waived to county court one count each of aggravated assault, simple assault, reckless endangerment and possessing instruments of crime. Ursiak believes Kozloski was under the influence of a controlled substance, possibly bath salts, at the time of the incident. No injuries occurred during the scare that drew a response from multiple police agencies. According to the criminal complaint: Kozloski allegedly fired a round into 12 E. Oak St. and hid behind parked cars across the street. When police encountered Kozloski, he aimed the rifle at an officer, who took cover behind the cruiser. Police allege Kozloski repeatedly entered and exited his apartment at 14 E. Oak St., and ejected a live round from the

He was ordered by Malast to undergo a mental health examination and not to consume drugs or alcohol while he is free on bail. Kozloski was further instructed not to contact any alleged witnesses or victims. A formal arraignment in county court is scheduled on Feb. 23.

Activist: Planet getting hotter, but people can make it better By GERI GIBBONS Times Leader Correspondent

WYOMING – Hilde Binford, representing the Climate Reality Project, believes that her presentation at the Unitarian Universalist Church Friday night went beyond simply the sharing of information, but was, in fact, encouragement for area residents to help make our planet better: more energy efficient, more ecologically balanced and more attentive to climate changes. Binford, a professor at Moravian College, Bethlehem, and a doctoral graduate of Stanford University, said that climate

changes go beyond political leanings, but are reflected in sound scientific data. "Multiple indicators of global warming provide evidence that the planet is indeed getting hotter," said Binford, citing records set in regard to temperature during 2011 in China, Iraq, Iran, India and the United States. "New York City had several days of temperature over 100 degrees during the summer of 2011. Both high temperatures and days of high temperature have been increasing." Binford said scientific data conclusively indicates climate

changes are "man made," indicating industrial activities of modern civilization raise carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and have since 1880. The event was well-attended and attendees were generally supportive of the Climate Reality Project. Many have been working to make both local and global efforts in reducing global climate change. Scott Cameron, Plymouth, a member of the Gas Drilling Awareness Coalition, said the effect of "fracking" (a method of removing gas from the earth), is thought to result in dangerous emissions into the

atmosphere. "We need to determine whether gas drilling is safe," said Cameron, who believes it is the responsibility of residents to remain informed and proactive in regard to climate issues. Binford’s slide presentation, which was prepared by former Vice President Al Gore, provided multiple examples of negative effects of global warming, including flooding, fire and drought. She said being politically proactive in supporting legislation regulating sources of global warming is a responsibility.

PITTSTON TWP. – The Federal Aviation Administration plans to start using its new $20 million air traffic control tower at the WilkesBarre/Scranton International Airport in August. That means the Federal Aviation Administration will stop paying the airport monthly rent to use the current tower in the airport’s former terminal building, causing a $224,000 gap in the airport’s annual budget in 2013. With the funding shortfall issue looming, the airport’s board also must decide what to do with the empty 65,000square-foot terminal building that it convinced the federal government was unusable in order to get funding to construct the current ter- Airport board minal that members opened in asked about 2006. the possibility Airport board mem- that space bers asked could be rentabout the ed in the old possibility that space terminal… could be rented in the old terminal as a way to keep money flowing in, but airport Director Barry Centini spoke out against that possibility. “It really is not a rentable space,” Centini said, noting that there are already spaces for rent on the airport property that the airport has had trouble finding occupants for. As for demolishing it, the estimate is that it would cost up to $1 million to get it done. Neither the airport nor Lackawanna and Luzerne counties has that kind of money to spend to knock down a building that isn’t causing a public nuisance, and Centini said he has been told by the FAA that it will not pay to raze the old terminal. While the airport will be out the $18,666 per month in rent from the FAA, airport assistant Director Michael Conner said it will likely save about $44,000 annually in the cost of utilities including electricity and water. Centini said the airport has no use for the building as a storage facility, but said the land would be ideal for a new parking garage the airport has long wanted. INSIDE: Debate on checks, P. 4A

Checks spark debate Blues legend passes E T TA J A M E S

The airport board tries to decide who should sign for expenditures. By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

PITTSTON TWP. – Thursday’s meeting of the bi-county board that oversees the Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton International Airport was a learning experience for those in attendance, especially the five new members of the six-person board. In addition to hearing about how the airport earns money, what the “Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program” is and why demolishing the old airport terminal building is harder than it sounds, they learned that an airport check must have seven signatures before it can be sent as payment. That fact led to the first real debate of the year for the board, over whether the elected controllers from Luzerne and Lackawanna counties should continue to be authorized

as signers. With the new home rule form of government in Luzerne County in effect, questions about procedures are common. But airport Director Barry Centini, who is required to be the seventh signer of all checks, along with three from each county, said the board can set its own rules, regardless of home rule. Even so, Luzerne County assistant solicitor Brian Bufalino said he would feel comfortable taking the question back to the acting county manager Tom Pribula and the entire council before rendering an opinion. The idea that controllers shouldn’t be allowed to sign checks drew the ire of Walter Griffith, the Luzerne County controller. “To protect the financial integrity of the board, I think it’s imperative to have the controller sign,” said Griffith. There are concerns that if controllers aren’t able to sign, the absence of one board member would

mean that checks couldn’t be signed at the meeting. That’s exactly what happened Thursday as Pribula was not in attendance. Because the board didn’t permit Griffith to sign the checks, they will have to be sent to Pribula for his signature then sent back to the airport before being mailed out. Centini said perhaps the procedure should be changed so that only two representatives from each county need to sign, in addition to him. The matter will be put back on the agenda for the Feb. 16 board meeting. Lackawanna County Commissioners Corey O’Brien, Jim Wansacz and Patrick O’Malley said they have no problem with whatever decision Luzerne County’s council makes. The Luzerne County representatives to the board, Tim McGinley and Rick Williams, both said the will of the full county council will be fine with them.

The 73 year old blues singer was known for her classic hit ’At Last.’ By NEKESA MUMBI MOODY and ROBERT JABLON Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Etta James’ performance of the enduring classic “At Last” was the embodiment of refined soul: Angelic-sounding strings harkened the arrival of her passionate yet measured vocals as she sang tenderly about a love finally realized after a long and patient wait. In real life, little about James was as genteel as that song. The platinum blonde’s first hit was a saucy R&B number about sex, and she was known as a hell-raiser who had tempestuous relationships with her family, her men and the music industry. Then she spent years battling a drug addiction that she admitted sapped away at her great talents. The 73-year-old died on Friday at Riverside Commu-

She added that key components of the bill, including minimum setback distances and the amount and proportional distribution of local impact fees, have not been determined or are subject to change by the legislative committee.

Her ever-changing sound has influenced rock and roll, rhythm and blues, pop, soul and jazz artists, marking her place as one of the most important female artists of our time,” said Rock and Roll Hall of Fame President and CEO Terry Stewart. “From Janis Joplin to Joss Stone, an incredible number of performers owe their debts to her. There is no mistaking the voice of Etta James, and it will live forever.” Despite the reputation she cultivated, she would always be remembered best for “At Last.”

ROME — The cruise captain who grounded the Costa Concordia off the Tuscan coast with 4,200 people on board did not relay correct information either to the company or crew after the ship hit rocks, the cruise ship owner’s CEO said Friday as the search resumed for 21 missing passengers.

The forecast of rain and snow would help douse the flames but also increase the chance of flooding on the charred land, authorities said. The blaze started shortly after noon Thursday and, fueled by wind gusts reaching 82 mph, mushroomed to more than 6 square miles before firefighters stopped its surge toward Reno. The fire’s cause isn’t known. At one point, the flames got within 100 yards of Galena High School, where Vice President Joe Biden spoke earlier Thursday. Three nearby schools were closed Friday and about 200 customers were without electricity.

LOS ANGELES

Dismembered man ID’d Coroner’s officials identified the man whose dismembered head, hands and feet were found in a Hollywood park, but they’re not releasing his name as police continue to hunt for his killer, authorities said Friday. The identity, age and hometown of the victim was withheld because his next of kin had not been notified and because police investigators had placed a “security hold” on the information, Los Angeles County coroner’s spokesman Ed Winter said. The head was found Tuesday by a dog walker at Bronson Canyon, and police searchers turned up the man’s hands and feet during a two-day search that ended Thursday. The park reopened Friday. BEIRUT

Uprising hurting citizens As President Bashar Assad fights off a 10-month-old uprising, Syrians have been struggling to cope with shortages of heating oil and other fuel, electricity cuts of up to 16 hours a day and dwindling bank balances. With no end in sight to the violent conflict, Assad’s embattled regime has sought to rally support by blaming the uprising — and the “terrorists” he says are behind it — for the profound economic crisis gripping the country of 22 million. The rhetoric reflects an awareness in the regime that economic pain could erode the support it has succeeded in retaining so far amid the turmoil. For now, though, many Syrians say their immediate needs transcend politics. “I haven’t seen such a crisis in my entire life,” said Majd Amer, a resident and activist in Homs, a city that has been among the hardest-hit by the military crackdown on protesters. “Most of the residents depend on assistance from their neighbors.” MEXICO CITY

Bandit rode skateboard Mexico City police say they have arrested a would-be bandit who rode his skateboard to bank robbery attempts. Police say Sergio Ledesma and his skateboard have been turned over to prosecutors after he allegedly attempted to rob two banks by whispering threats to tellers. Police say the teller at the first bank simply acted as if he hadn’t heard Ledesma, who then skated off to a second bank. The second teller told police Ledesma appeared to whisper a threat. So the teller set off a silent alarm, and counted out the money while the would-be robber waited patiently. Police said Friday Ledesma was still waiting when they arrived and arrested him.

France threatens with early exit

Country may leave Afghanistan after soldier kills four French troops and wounds 15 others.

KABUL, Afghanistan — France’s threat Friday to withdraw early from Afghanistan after an Afghan soldier killed four French troops and wounded 15 is a setback for the U.S.-led coalition’s efforts to build a national army and allow foreign troops to go home. The deadly shooting — the second against French forces in a month — is the latest in a rising number of disturbing attacks in which Afghan security forces or infiltrators have turned their guns on coalition forces. It came during an especially deadly 24 hours for the international coalition, with six U.S. Marines killed in a

French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who faces a potentially tough re-election campaign this spring, reacted swiftly and sternly to the killing of the French troops, who were unarmed when they were shot during a physical training exercise. He or-

WASHINGTON — Caving to a massive campaign by Internet services and their millions of users, Congress indefinitely postponed legislation Friday to stop online piracy of movies and music costing U.S. companies billions of dollars every year. Critics said the bills would result in censorship and stifle Internet innovation. The demise, at least for the time being, of the anti-piracy bills was a clear victory for Silicon Valley over Hollywood, which has campaigned for a tougher response to online piracy. The legislation also would cover the counterfeiting of drugs and car parts. Congress’ qualms underscored how Inter- INSIDE: Police net users can use raid New their collective Zealand home might to block of Megaupload.com. those who want founder, Page to change the sys- 7B. tem.

The site of the Hong Kongbased company was shut down, and the founder and three employees were arrested in New Zealand on U.S. accusations that they facilitated millions of illegal downloads of films, music and other content, costing copyright holders at least $500 million in lost revenue.

Power outages may continue in Northwest By MANUEL VALDES and JONATHAN J. COOPER Associated Press

SEATTLE — A Pacific Northwest storm that brought snow, ice and powerful winds left a mess of fallen trees and power lines Friday as tens of thousands of residents already without power faced the prospect of a cold, dark weekend and flooding became a top region-wide concern. While temperatures warmed and the icy, snowy

conditions abated in western Washington and Oregon, slick roads and fast-melting snow brought challenges for road workers, city officials and rescue crews. The region also faces more rain as swelling rivers lead to the worst flooding some Oregon counties have seen in more than a decade. “It’s definitely a trial we get to endure,” said Jeanette Donigan, whose Turner, Ore., home was surrounded by floodwater

and sought shelter nearby with her family. But earthly possessions can be replaced, as long as we got our children to higher ground.” The storm system has killed three people: a mother and her 1-year-old boy, who died after torrential rain swept away a car from an Albany, Ore., grocery store parking lot; and an elderly man fatally injured by a AP PHOTO falling tree as he was backing an all-terrain vehicle out of a A truck drives around a downed tree in Tacoma, Wash., Friday, backyard shed near Seattle. brought down by thick ice following storms.

Mocanaqua man faces drug charge By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

MOCANAQUA – A man authorities allege permitted his residence to be used to manufacture methamphetamine was charged with multiple crimes by the state Office of Attorney General. Kevin Hall, 26, of Hill Street, was arraigned Thursday night by District Judge Donald Whittaker in Nanticoke on three counts of possession of chemicals with intent to manufacture a controlled substance, two counts of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance and one count each of risking a catastrophe, illegal dumping of methamphetamine waste, manufacture of methamphetamine, criminal conspiracy, possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. Hall was released without bail. According to the criminal complaint: State drug agents with the Bureau of Narcotics Investigation allege Hall permitted Brian Engle Jr., 26, to use his residence to manufacture methamphetamine in the basement of 19 Hill St. Engle was arrested by drug agents on Jan. 10 after he cooked methamphetamine, according to arrest records. Hall’s 10-year-old son was inside the house when Engle cooked the narcotic the night of Jan. 10 when a fire erupted in the basement, arrest records say. Engle remains jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $120,000 bail.

According to court papers, a then-12-year-old girl reported to a Luzerne County Children & Youth worker that Henninger had been sexually assaulting her over a four-month period from August to November 2010. The girl told investigators the abuse happened on several occasions, and that Henninger was known to her. Guidance counselors at the girl’s school had reported the abuse to a Children and Youth worker. Fannick said Friday in his police in October 2010.

Fannick said it was impossible for Henninger to commit such acts because he worked 15 hours a day, six days a week. Fannick urged jurors to consider the credibility of witnesses in the case, and to consider that the young girl may not have been telling the truth. “He’s not guilty.

Holden to face primary challenge By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

MOOSIC – A month after learning the outlines of his redrawn district, U.S. Rep. Tim Holden will face a challenge for his seat. Lackawanna County attorney Matt Cartwright will announce his candidacy for the Democratic nomination from the 17th Congressional District on Tuesday at noon at the Hilton Scranton Hotel and Conference Center. Cartwright, ELECTION 50, plans to challenge 10term incumbent Holden, of St. Clair, Schuylkill County, in the April 24 Democratic primary. Holden is the dean of the Pennsylvania congressional delegation. Under the redistricting of Pennsylvania congressional districts, Holden now represents the cities of Scranton, Pittston and WilkesBarre and several other munici-

2012

palities in Luzerne County that were formerly part of U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta’s 11th Congressional District. Cartwright The new district lines took effect in January for the primaries and general election. Those elected will take office in 2013. Holden said Cartwright has every right to run for Congress. “I’ll run on my record,” Holden said. “I’ve worked my entire career on economic development and if re-elected, I will continue to do so.” Holden said 75 percent of the redrawn 17th District is new territory, with many of the new constituents in Northeastern Pennsylvania. “I know the communities,” Holden said. “I’m the proud son of the coal region. Matt (Cart-

wright) hasn’t held elective office, so the territory is 100 percent new to him. And I always campaign like I’m 15 points behind.” In the 11th Congressional District, Barletta is the only declared Republican in the race so far. The only announced Democratic challenger is Wilkes-Barre attorney William Vinsko. Wilkes-Barre is now in the 17th District, but Vinsko said he is in the race against Barletta. “The issues will not stop at boundary lines, and they will not stop at party lines,” Vinsko said. Vinsko said he wants to unseat Barletta, R-Hazleton, because “the people of the 11th District need jobs and they need to have their Social Security and Medicare protected.” Barletta said he is doing what the people elected him to do – “cut wasteful overspending, improve the business and job climate, fight illegal immigration, and block some of the president’s failed, destructive policies.”

OTHER OPINION: HIRING POLICY

Don’t quit on helping smokers

S OF NEXT month, central Pennsylvania’s Geisinger Health System will no longer hire smokers, regardless of when or where they intend to smoke. Isn’t that a little, well, sick? Geisinger is far from the first employer to adopt such a punitive policy. The rationale for these policies is the belief that sickened smokers raise the insurance costs of their companies and coworkers. But the pitfalls of this reasoning were neatly demonstrated by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals’ prompt call for Geisinger to stop hiring meat-eaters as well. Presumably, the company could enforce herbivory by adding cholesterol screening to the Orwellian nicotine tests it already plans to impose on job applicants. In one sense, discriminating against people who drink root EDITORIAL BOARD

beer or enjoy bungee jumping would be more reasonable than blacklisting smokers. The sheer power of nicotine addiction has been thoroughly established. Kicking a nicotine addiction – like kicking a cocaine or heroin addiction – is very worthwhile but also very difficult, and no one has found a way to make it easy. So what led so many people and corporations to the erroneous conclusion that nicotine addicts should be deprived of something as basic to their survival as employment? Perhaps this country’s largely defensible assault on a serious publichealth problem has in some instances escalated into a counterproductive and moralistic war on the people we’re supposedly trying to help. Sure, hate the smoking. But let’s love the smokers. The Philadelphia Inquirer

LETTERS FROM READERS

Reader urges Obama to approve oil pipeline

he battle in Washington over the extension of the payroll tax holiday brought to the forefront another issue that has languished under the Obama administration: the Keystone XL Pipeline. This pipeline is a needed infrastructure expansion for our country that would bring oil drilled in Canada to U.S. refineries. This direct connection between a fresh oil source and our refineries would go a long way toward increasing America’s energy security and bringing down our energy prices. Equally important to me, it will cut our reliance on foreign energy sources such as Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Venezuela, Kuwait and other wobbly partners that leave our nation vulnerable to energy supply interruptions and price manipulation. Plus, it will allow us to dial back how much of our money we ship overseas to fund governments that, if we are to be honest, don’t like us very much. If the president fails to act quickly on approving this pipeline, this new oil resource will be lost to none other than the Chinese government. China already is taking action to gain control of this source of energy, and the Canadian government is starting to lose patience with President Obama’s dithering. If we continue to delay, Canada will simply build a pipeline to Vancouver, bypassing the United States altogether, and sell its crude directly to a willing customer: China. Mr. President, stop dithering and approve the Keystone XL Pipeline today. Robert Orbin Wright Township

Year-round schooling can make the grade in U.S.

ear-round schooling. It might sound like a ridiculous idea. However, it’s a way to spread the school year out so students don’t forget what they learned over summer break. Students who go to “normal” school would say this is a bad idea, but they should try it. Year-round schooling frequently uses the 45-15 plan. Under this schedule, students attend school 45 days and then get 15 days off. The normal breaks (holiday, spring) are still built into this calendar. There are many others ways that exist to organize the calendar, including the 60-20 and the 90-30 plans. There are several reasons why this plan would be effective. One is that students tend to forget much during the summer,

and shorter vacations might increase retention rates. Another issue is that failure to utilize the school during the summer months is an inefficient use of a potential resource. Also, short breaks can provide time for students to receive enrichment education, and remediation can occur when it is most needed during the school year. Another benefit: It’s easier to schedule vacations because not everyone wants to travel at the same time. Other countries use this system and it’s working well. Victoria Scaramastro Wright Township

Margolies’ talk should be a learning experience

ishop Joseph Bambera recently has objected that a very accomplished individual – Marjorie Margolies, a former congresswoman and founder/ president of Women’s Campaign International – is scheduled to speak at the University of Scranton on Jan. 28 in order to empower and educate women (and others) in the field of politics. Bambera objects because, according to a diocesan release, Margolies has been politically active with pro-choice initiatives. It is not at all clear, though, that Ms.

DOONESBURY

Margolies will be talking about anything regarding abortion, and there seems to be no evidence or reason suggesting that she will. The Diocese of Scranton, regardless of how much it might speak about the importance of education, obviously is not interested in dissenting viewpoints and seemingly is only interested in its own perspectives being presented. Is this the sort of education and intellectual honesty that should be lauded? In a setting of higher learning, opposing viewpoints should be welcomed so that individuals could challenge their own beliefs, keep themselves honest, be exposed to new ideas and evaluate others’ reasons for beliefs. Isn’t this what education is supposed to be about? Not so for Bishop Bambera. If the Catholic faith and church teachings are so strong and justified, why should the bishop be concerned when someone holding an opposing viewpoint is scheduled to speak (especially when said viewpoint has nothing to do with the content of the speech)? Shame on the Diocese of Scranton and Bishop Bambera for opposing an accomplished speaker just because she happens to be pro-choice. Catholics and non-Catholics alike should be appalled by Bambera, who is following in the footsteps of former Bishop Joseph Martino. Justin Vacula Exeter

Reader notes church’s stance toward women

egarding Bishop Joseph Bambera’s opposition to Marjorie Margolies’ presentation at the University of Scranton on Jan. 28 encouraging women in politics: Let us examine his real motivation. He and the Catholic Church apparently are, and always have been, intimidated, frustrated and just plain scared to death of powerful, motivated women. They know they cannot physically or mentally control them. They also know the majority of elected women in the broad spectrum of politics will support women’s reproductive rights and a woman’s access to a safe and legal abortion. Bambera and his church seemingly have been anti-choice and anti-woman for centuries, believing a woman’s place is to be monitored in the bedroom. And all under the name of God. Think about it.

New county manager won’t begin work for month The Luzerne County Council is expected to hire Robert Lawton at a meeting Tuesday.

The new permanent Luzerne County manager expected to be hired Tuesday won’t start fulltime work here for about a month, council Chairman Jim Bobeck said. Bobeck said the manager will need several weeks to relocate

reduce layoffs: using $2 million in capital funding borrowed with interest in the past to help repay debt and/or obtaining a $2 million cash advance on 2011 back-tax liens, a practice known as monetization. County Interim Manager Tom Pribula has discouraged both, saying they are one-time fixes, though he said the options have been tapped in the past and are available to council. A majority of council members also voiced opposition to another suggestion to eliminate a $52 homestead tax break on primary residences, which would generate $4.2 million.

ban/rural county with a $761 million budget, 2,469 employees and population of 423,000. He had worked as deputy county administrator for Solano County from January 2005 to January 2008. In between, he worked as administrative officer in Calaveras County, Calif. Lawton worked in several local and state government positions in Wisconsin and New York before moving to California. The manager’s salary can’t exceed or be less than 55 percent of the district attorney’s salary.

County union representative Paula Schnelly said unions also are willing to discuss an option pitched by the county that has not been publicly mentioned to date: voluntary layoffs with countyfunded health benefits for a specified period of time. Employees who agreed to participate must be guaranteed return to their positions after the layoff, with all the same benefits and status they had before they left, she said.

The county district attorney is currently paid $163,602, or $1,000 less than the salary for a county court of common pleas judge, which means the manager must receive at least $89,981. Council members are not discussing the specifics of the manager compensation package. Councilman Rick Morelli said the pay accepted by the chosen applicant is “not at the high end of this range.” “I think it’s very fair to both him and the taxpayers,” Morelli said.

Morelli said it’s common knowledge that Lawton is the “front-runner” for the post. At least seven of 11 council votes are required to hire the manager. “That’s who I’m supporting,” Morelli said of Lawton.

He also will approve purchases under $25,000, keep council informed about the county’s financial condition and operations and pre-

When we’re willing to try certain things, they’re not willing to present them,” Schnelly said. Bobeck said he and Pribula also met with county President Judge Thomas Burke Friday evening to start broaching budget issues. Several council members have expressed concern about a lack of response from court representatives. County judges did not send a representative to last week’s council budget session, while all non-court managers appeared to discuss budget cuts. Pribula said his latest revisions in the $118 million budget plan restored a sig-

sent an annual “state of the county” report. Former county budget/finance chief Tom Pribula has been serving as interim manager since the new home rule government took effect Jan. 2. A start date a month away means the new manager won’t be intimately involved in the 2012 budget amendment that must be passed by Feb. 15. Budget-related staff cuts and department mergers likely will be among the initial focuses of the permanent manager.

nificant amount of funding to court branches to make cuts more equitable. Court branches – probation, administration, orphan’s court, magistrates, domestic relations, jury commissioners and stenographers – spent a total $22.6 million in 2011, he said. The budget inherited from commissioners reduced spending in court branches to $18.9 million, or a loss of $3.7 million. Pribula’s version boosted court spending to a total $20.7 million, which would require $1.9 million in cuts this year. Six of 11 council votes will be required to amend the budget. A public hearing must be held on the amendments at least seven days after the plan is unveiled, and Feb. 15 is the deadline for final passage.

Colbert political rally becomes civics lesson About 5,000 Charleston, S.C. residents come out to see Comedy Central satirist. By CHRISTY HOPPE The Dallas Morning News

CHARLESTON, S.C. — The signs said "I’m skipping class to see Stephen Colbert," but the students were in the middle of a civics lesson. In a courtyard at the College of Charleston, the Comedy Central satirist brought a marching band,

35-member choir, cheerleaders and, oh yes, Herman Cain, to tell people that a vote for Cain is a vote for Colbert. About 5,000 turned out. There were two people in pig costumes decrying pork. There was a guy dressed as "Mr. America," with red, white and blue painted hockey pads as a costume. There were "Yes We Cain" signs and a boisterous crowd. It had all the markings of a political rally. But in Colbert’s hall of mirrors,

all is perversity reflected over and over again. He was holding an apple pie rally to disparage American politics. He was saying, vote for Cain — the former GOP front-runner who dropped out but is still on the South Carolina ballot — to withhold your vote in protest. And he was touting corporate money in campaigns because he wants to show the campaign finance system is absurd. He even said he wouldn’t be negative because so many cam-

paigns are. "I won’t be saying things like, the only difference between Mitt Romney and a statue of Mitt Romney is that the statue never changes its position," he said. "And it would be wrong to say if you guess Ron Paul’s real name, he has to teach you how to spin straw into gold." All is deliciously opposite with Colbert. "I know I don’t need to pander to the most beautiful peoAP PHOTO ple in the world," he told the College of Charleston students cheer for Herman Cain and Stephen Colbert on campus on Friday. cheering crowd.

and mailboxes were stuffed with campaign flyers. In a bit of home-state boosterism, DeMint said the primary winner was “likely to be the next president of the United States.” Indeed, the winner of the state’s primary has gone on to capture the Republican nomination each year since 1980. A victory by Romney would place him in a commanding position heading into the Florida primary on Jan. 31. He and an organization supporting him are already airing television ads in that state, which is one of the country’s costliest in which to campaign. If the former Massachusetts governor stumbles in South Carolina, it could portend a long, drawn-out battle for the nomination stretching well into spring and further expose rifts inside the party between those who want a candidate who can defeat Obama more than anything else, and those whose strong preference is for a solid conservative. Romney sounded anything but confident as he told reporters that in South Carolina, “I realize that I had a lot of ground to make up and Speaker Gingrich is from a neighboring state, well known, popular ... and frankly to be in a

Paying up for former coaches

Breakthrough for Dallas Mounts on top in Division II to capture their first half-season title since 2002. By JOHN ERZAR jerzar@timesleader.com

The Associated Press

STATE COLLEGE — Penn State could pay out millions of dollars in severance to a halfdozen assistants who weren’t retained by new head coach Bill O’Brien. Acting Athletic Director David Joyner said Friday the status of the assistant coaches who aren’t coming back from former coach Joe Paterno’s Speaking bestaff hasn’t fore Penn been finalState’s Board ized.

The severto a projected ances for the net budget full-time assistants were loss of $5 million for the negotiated by Paterno upcoming year. when he signed a three-year contract extension in December 2008 to provide some financial security for his staff if he left his position as head coach, the athletic department said in a statement later Friday. The total amount budgeted in the 2008 extension severance for all nine assistants was $4.4 million, though the final figure will likely be lower given two assistants — defensive line coach Larry Johnson and linebackers coach Ron Vanderlinden — have been retained by O’Brien. Also, a third assistant, receivers coach Mike McQueary, remains on administrative leave. He’s a key prosecution witness against retired assistant coach Jerry Sandusky, who is out on bail and awaiting trial after being charged with dozens of child sex abuse counts on Nov. 5. Paterno was fired four days later. Speaking before Penn State’s Board of Trustees on Friday morning, Joyner said the severance payout will contribute to a projected net budget loss of $5 million for the upcoming year. Athletics had budgeted for the loss this year given it was the last year of Paterno’s contract, and he had not signed another extension, the department said. Paterno is not part of the severance total. He had announced he was retiring effective the end of the 2011 season on the morning of Nov. 9 before trustees ousted him about 12 hours later.

WILKES-BARRE — Dallas’ Paul Brace couldn’t remember the last time the Mountaineers won a Wyoming Valley Conference half-season title. Probably because the senior guard was in third grade when it happened. “I don’t know the last time we won the league title,” Brace said. “I was never here for one the last four years. We’re starting something DALLAS good.” To continue it, Dallas needs to go beyond COUGHLIN merely the halfseason Division II title the team clinched Friday with a 65-52 victory over Coughlin. “That was one of our goals, one of them,” Dallas coach Doug Miller said. “We still have a lot of work to do.” The last time Dallas (5-1, Div. II, 9-4 overall) won a half-season title was in the 2001-02 season when it defeated Crestwood in a special playoff game for the Division II second-half championship. Two days later, that group of Mountaineers had nothing to show for it as Crestwood avenged the loss to win the overall divisional championship. Friday’s victory, which snapped a four-game losing streak to Coughlin, certainly didn’t come easy as the 13-point margin might indicate. Coughlin (1-5 Div. I, 4-11) overcame a small Dallas burst in the second quarter to take a 29-28 lead on Eric Heffers’ three-pointer. It was the last time the Crusaders led, but they stayed on the Mountaineers’ tail until the final 16 seconds of the third quarter. In those 16 seconds, Jason Si-

PLYMOUTH — If this was James McCann at just 90 percent, then Wyoming Valley West should be in good shape going forward. Playing with an injured shoulder, McCann posted 29 points and came up with four steals in the fourth quarter to lead Valley West to a 73-61 victory over Pittston Area on Friday. “That’s the way I want him to play the rest of the year,” Spartans coach George Reimill-

He reaggravated it in the first half of a Jan. 13 contest with Holy Redeemer and sat out Tuesday’s 27-point loss to Hazleton Area. “I would say James is playing at 90 percent,” Reimiller said. “We still have to worry

The Patriots and Spartans traded leads through the first 29 minutes of before the senior point guard became more aggressive defensively. With the game tied at 50 and six minutes remaining, Wyoming Valley West went on a 21-7 run in a five-minute span to break the game open. The Spartans’ performance on the freethrow line proved to be the difference in the game. Wyoming Valley West went 18-for-22 from the charity stripe. “We did a tremendous job this year, this game with our foul shooting,” Reimiller

WILKES-BARRE TWP. — Less than a minute into Friday’s game against the Manchester Monarchs, it looked like the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins would continue their struggles at home. Manchester’s Patrick Mullen beat Penguins goaltender Brad Thiessen just 47 seconds into the game for a quick lead. Less than a PENGUINS minute later, however, Bryan Lerg changed all that when he MONARCHS skated through two Monarchs, toe-dragged around a defenseman in front and connected on a shot in close to even things up. Colin McDonald followed with a pair of goals to propel the Penguins to a 4-1 win in the 1,000th regular season game in franchise history. Brad Thiessen stopped 29 shots for his third straight win, and the Penguins are now 23-121-4, winners of their last four games. Penguins coach John Hynes said Thiessen was a big factor in Friday’s win. “It wasn’t an easy night for him and he came up with some big stops,” Hynes said. “He’s coming back mentally and he’s getting his game back.” Lerg’s first-period goal opened the floodgates, as the Penguins scored three more times in the frame, including two from McDonald, to take a 4-1 lead. By the end of the period it was clear this wouldn’t be a typical Penguins home game – one that has resulted in a loss 12 times out of 18 games this season. “I wasn’t worried,” Hynes said of Manchester’s opening goal. “We’ve gone through some tough stretches and there was no panic on the bench.” McDonald scored his first when Paul Thompson skated into the offensive zone and passed back toward the blueline. McDonald collected the puck and ripped a shot past Manchester goaltender Jeff Zatkoff to make it 2-1.

Senior guard fights through shoulder injury to put the Spartans in a first-place tie with Hazleton Area.

Davis emerges as 49ers leader Once criticized for behavior, the San Francisco tight end has fueled his team’s success. By JANIE McCAULEY AP Sports Writer

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — With a record-setting day and the winning touchdown in his playoff debut, Vernon Davis left no doubt he is indeed a winner. A weeping Davis fell into the arms of coach Jim Harbaugh, who repeated over and over: “You did it! You did it! You did it!” It’s been more than three years since the young, volatile tight end got booted from the sideline and sent to the locker room early by Mike Singletary. Davis then became the focus of the coach’s now infamous “I want winners” rant following a 34-13 loss to Seattle.

“I was looking at him like he’s crazy,” Davis recalled this UP NEXT week. “How could you N.Y. GIANTS at send your SAN FRANCISCO first-round TV: 6:30 p.m., draft pick to Sunday. FOX-56 the locker OPENING LINE: 49ers by 1 room? I unLAST MEETING: derstood, I 49ers beat Giants understood 27-20, Nov. 13, 2011 the reason why, because I was hurting the team. Penalties and missed assignments, things like that. It will kill the team.” These days, Davis is playing for a new coach, and playing for a Super Bowl berth. The 49ers (14-3) have him — and quarterback Alex Smith, of course — to thank for getting

them to Sunday’s NFC championship game against the New York Giants (11-7) at Candlestick Park. “He’s a different man,” running back Frank Gore said. “He grew up.” Davis capped his spectacular afternoon last Saturday with a leaping, game-winning 14-yard touchdown catch under pressure with 9 seconds remaining as San Francisco stunned Drew Brees and the favored New Orleans Saints 36-32. “Little Duke,” as he was known growing up — his Dad, Vernon, was “Big Duke” — had done it on the NFL’s big stage at last. Davis wound up with seven catches for 180 yards — the most yards receiving by a tight end in a playoff game. As Davis cried on the bench in an emotion-filled moment afterward, teammate Michael Crabtree approached with a one-word

compliment: “Superman! Superman!” This is the same player who not so long ago was known for scuffling in practice and trashtalking opponents at every chance. Defenders would purposely try to bait him. “He’s so much better about not getting kind of emotionally hijacked,” Smith said Friday. Davis is still the emotional player who cried on draft day nearly six years ago when the 49ers picked him sixth overall out of Maryland. The difference is Davis has found a way to better channel his excitement. It hasn’t been an easy road to get to the point where he embraced being a leader. “It was difficult. … I just kept my head up and just kept going down the straight path because I knew I was going the wrong di-

Making more history? Plenty of lore surrounding title games

By RICHARD ROSENBLATT AP Sports Writer

From the Ice Bowl to The Grab, NFL lore is filled with nicknames for its classic playoff games. In between the Packers’ frigid 21-17 NFL championship win over the Cowboys in 1967 and Vernon Davis’ 14-yard TD grab with 9 seconds left in the 49ers’ 36-32 thriller over the Saints last weekend, there’s been The Catch, The Drive, The Fumble and a slew of other games characterized by much more than the score. For this playoff Pick 6, we’re looking at AFC and NFC championship games with a timely take. Only games played involving teams — or a coach, in one case — involved in Sunday’s conference title games are eligible. That reduces the field to the Giants, 49ers, Patriots and Ravens, plus 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh. Of course, two AFC title game gems don’t make this list. The first is The Drive, when John Elway led the Broncos 98 yards in 5:02 to tie the game at Cleveland with 37 seconds left, and Denver won 23-20 in overtime. The second came a year later, in 1987, when the Browns’ Earnest Byner fumbled at the Broncos 2 with 1:12 left while on his way for a score, and Denver won again, 38-33. And let us not forget the Vikings’ misfortunes in the NFC title games of 1998 and 2009. The Falcons beat them 30-27 in overtime in ‘98. In the fourth quarter, Minnesota’s Gary Anderson missed his first field goal all season. And the Saints won 31-28 in OT in ‘09 after Brett Favre’s ill-advised pass over the middle was intercepted with the Vikings in range for a winning field goal at the end of regulation. Herewith, our list of Giants, 49ers, Patriots, Ravens-centric classic conference clashes:

nounced they had hired Josh McDaniels as an offensive assistant. He was the Patriots’ offensive coordinator from 2006-08, served as Denver’s coach in 2009 and part of 2010, and was offensive coordinator of the St. Louis Rams this season. “Josh has integrated very smoothly into everything that we do because he knows most everybody here,” quarterback Tom Brady said. “He knows the offense. His input is greatly appreciated, whether it’s tips for me or tips for other players. He sees some things and is very helpful. It’s been good.” On Thursday, O’Brien talked with Brady and other players at

San Francisco’s Dwight Clark leaps high to come up with “The Catch” to beat Dallas in the 1981 season’s NFC championship game.

49ERS 28, COWBOYS 27 (JAN. 10, 1982): The Catch. Need more? OK. Trailing 27-21 and at their 11, the 49ers and Joe Montana reached the Cowboys 6 with 58 seconds left. Montana took the third-down snap, backpedaled to avoid a ferocious rush, and then, after a pump fake, threw a high pass that was snagged by a leaping Dwight Clark in the back of the end zone for the winning TD. Almost forgotten was what occurred when Dallas got the ball back. Danny White hit Drew Pearson with about 40 seconds left, and just before the receiver was set to break away, the 49ers Eric Wright grabbed the back of practice while members of his new staff focused on recruiting. Seven of his Penn State assistants are on the road at one time and he makes recruiting calls himself. National signing day is Feb. 1, four days before the Super Bowl. “We’re certainly making the best of it we possibly can,” offensive line coach Mac McWhorter said Thursday in a telephone interview. “You certainly have to commend coach O’Brien for finishing his obligations to New England. That says a lot about the way he does things.” On Jan. 6, Penn State announced it was hiring O’Brien to replace Joe Paterno, who was fired Nov. 9 after child sex abuse charges were filed against retired assistant Jerry Sandusky. O’Brien spent the next two days, a Patriots bye week, in Happy Valley. That Saturday, he

his neck and dragged him down. White fumbled on the next play. GIANTS 15, 49ERS 13 (JAN. 20, 1991): With Hall of Famers galore on both teams, it was the 49ers going for a third straight NFL title. They led 13-9 early in the fourth quarter. Then it all came apart: Leonard Marshall knocked Joe Montana out of the game with a crushing hit from behind; Gary Reasons ran 30 yards on a fake punt to set up a field goal; Erik Howard’s helmet jarred the ball loose from Roger Craig and Lawrence Taylor recovered with 2:36 to go; and seven plays later, Matt Bahr kicked a 43-yard field goal as time expired. Call it the end of was formally introduced at a news conference on campus. On Sunday, he received a standing ovation after being introduced at a basketball game and later met with his new players. Then it was back to Foxborough to prepare for Denver last Saturday night. The Patriots won 45-10, the most points they’ve scored in their 20 postseason games in Belichick’s 12 years as coach. With Belichick’s approach of having each player focus on his job and shut out potential distractions, O’Brien’s juggling act doesn’t seem to be a problem. “It’s about our focus on our game plan,” wide receiver Deion Branch said of the key to each practice. “That’s the entire thing we can be focused on (and not) what’s going on outside of the game and (losing) sight of what our plan is to go into the game.”

an era. STEELERS 20, COLTS 16 (JAN. 14, 1996): In what appeared to be a mismatch, the Steelers had their hands full with the underdog Colts, led by quarterback/now 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh. It all came down to a final play: Colts ball on the Steelers 29 on third-and-1, and Harbaugh’s heave went through the hands of Aaron Bailey in the end zone. RAVENS 16, RAIDERS 3 (JAN. 14, 2001): It was the Ravens’ stingy defense (five turnovers) — and Trent Dilfer to Shannon Sharpe on a 96-yard catch and run for a score — that led Baltimore to its only AFC title. The win was perhaps sweetest for owner Art Modell, whose Browns lost three AFC title games to the Broncos before he moved the team from Cleveland to Baltimore after the 1995 season. COLTS 38, PATRIOTS 34 (JAN. 21, 2007): One of the best NFL rivalries during the mid-2000s, and this time Peyton Manning came out on top after Tom Brady and the Patriots beat the Colts the previous three years in the playoffs. Although the Patriots led 21-3, Manning led the Colts to 32 points in the second half for the largest comeback in a conference title game. GIANTS 23, PACKERS 20, OT (JAN. 20, 2008): Lawrence Tynes followed in Bahr’s kicking shoes when he booted a 47-yard field goal in overtime on another frigid day at Lambeau Field. The game could have ended in the Giants’ favor in regulation. With the score 20-20, Ahmad Bradshaw ran 48 yards for an apparent TD with 2:15 left, but Chris Snee was called for holding and the play was nullified. The Giants drove to the Packers 18, but Tynes was wide left with a 36yard field goal attempt with 4 seconds left. In OT, Favre and the Pack got the ball first, but Favre was picked off by Corey Webster on the second play. After the Giants gained 5 yards on three plays, Tynes delivered his winner. It came 17 years to the day after Bahr won the 1990 NFC title game with his field goal.

straight seasons with more than 1,000 yards rushing. Rice put together a masterful performance against the Patriots in the 2009 postseason, beginning with an 83-yard run on the first play from scrimmage that set the tone for a 33-14 rout. “If you want to ask me if that was my fondest moment in my NFL career, yes it was,” Rice said this week. “When you can do something that special in a playoff game in another team’s stadium, that was huge. And that’s something that I’ll cherish for the rest of my life.” Rice has finished each of his four seasons with an appearance in the playoffs. This is the second time Baltimore (13-4) has advanced to

rection,” Davis said. “I changed my life around and I became more of a leader, because in the beginning it was all about me, and that’s not right.

“You don’t want it to be all about you. I find it that, when it’s more about the team and you put the team first, you have more success.”

Dolphins hire Packers’ Philbin as head coach The Associated Press

A person familiar with the decision says Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin has accepted an offer to become the Miami Dolphins’ head coach. The person confirmed the Philbin deal to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Friday because the team hadn’t made an announcement. The Dolphins are expected to hold a news conference Saturday. The hiring comes less than two weeks after Philbin’s son drowned in a Wisconsin river. After spending a week away from the Packers, Philbin rejoined the team last Sunday for its divisional playoff loss to the New York Giants. New England Patriots New England quarterback Tom Brady no longer is on the injury report for the AFC championship game against Baltimore. Brady missed practice Wednesday with a left shoulder problem, but has worked the last two days. He is not among the 17 Patriots listed under game status for Sunday. Patriots coach Bill Belichick normally lists more than a dozen players on the report. All of them are expected to play against the Ravens.

NFL NOTEBOOK St. Louis Rams The St. Louis Rams will play a regular-season NFL game in London in each of the next three seasons, first facing the New England Patriots in 2012. The Rams and Patriots will play on Oct. 28 at Wembley Stadium, the NFL said Friday. Pittsburgh Steelers Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin says offensive coordinator Bruce Arians is retiring from coaching. The 57-year-old Arians joined the Steelers as the wide receivers coach in 2004 and was promoted to offensive coordinator in 2007. Arians entered the NFL as a running backs coach for the Kansas City Chiefs in 1989 and served as Peyton Manning’s first quarterback coach. His NFL resume also includes stints with the New Orleans Saints and Cleveland Browns.

New Orleans Saints Former St. Louis Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo has agreed to take over as defensive coordinator for with the Saints. A person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press on Thursday about the hiring on condition of anonymity because the Saints have not announced it. New York Giants Spagnuolo, 52, was head New York Giants tight end coach in St. Louis the past Jake Ballard is questionable three seasons and was fired in after having “a little procedure” January after going 10-38 with on his right knee, but says he the Rams.

the AFC title game. “I’m not going to say it’s been easy. It’s been very hard every year,” he said. “For me, I’ve been spoiled. I’ve been in the playoffs and played in every single game but one, and that’s the Super Bowl.” Rice is a key figure in Baltimore’s bid to make this trip different than the rest. He is the only player in the NFL this season to amass more than 2,000 yards in offense, combining 1,364 yards on the ground with a team-leading 76 catches for 704 yards. It doesn’t matter that New England (14-3) owns the 31st-ranked pass defense in the league. Baltimore’s best chance to win is if Rice can be successful running the ball, which will make it easier for quarterback Joe Flacco to pass and, even more importantly, keep New England’s prolific offense on the sideline.

“Anybodywilltellyou,whenyou can keep a quick-striking offense offthefielditlimitsthegame,”Rice said. “But with that being said, I think we have a great balance on this team. I think when we run it effectively, it sets up the pass. When we pass it effectively, it sets up the run. So, in order to keep (Patriots quarterback) Tom Brady off the field, I’m just going to say we have to simply execute at a high level.” The Ravens have long been successful by using the old-fashioned approach of combining a strong defense with a solid running game. No reason to change now. “That’s who we are. That’s what we do,” offensive coordinator Cam Cameron said. “Our offense is built forthisdivision.Wetrytobuildthis offense to win a division championship first, then a conference championship second and on from there. A big part of that is being able to run the football.”

Valley West boys lead at Wills Invitational The Times Leader staff

BILL TARUTIS/FOR THE TIMES LEADER

Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins defenseman Alex Grant (left) makes a pass as Manchester left winger Chris Cloud tries to get in his way during the Penguins’ 1,000th regular season game on Friday night at Mohegan Sun Arena.

PENGUINS Continued from Page 1B

“I knew there was open ice from our blue line and I was calling for the puck from the redline in,” McDonald said. “(Thompson) was trying to buy time for me to get up. I don’t know where their guys were.” McDonald’s second goal came during a first period power play. Posted in the right corner, McDonald gained the puck and placed a bad-angle shot inside the far post for a 3-1 lead. The goal gave put an end to Zatkoff’s night, who was replaced my Martin Jones. Zach Sill gave the Penguins a three-goal lead with less than a minute remaining in the period when he swept in a rebound in front to make it 4-1.

said. “That’s one of the keys. That kept us in the game in the end.” Pittston Area’s three-point shooting posed a problem for Reimiller’s squad. The Patriots connected on 11 threes and shot 50 percent from beyond the arc in the first half. Steve Sklanka made five treys in a 17-point outing. The Spartans were also led by

monovich scored inside and Brace converted a turnover into a layup just before the buzzer for a 52-44 lead. Simonovich and Chris Ostrum opened the fourth with baskets, pushing the lead to double digits. It stayed there the rest of the game.

After the five-goal, 27-shot first period, things quieted down. That’s when Thiessen, who had a tough first period by allowing the early goal and then getting run over in his own net, took over. After the first Manchester goal, Thiessen stopped 27 consecutive shots to maintain the Penguins’ three-goal edge. “We expect him to play night in and night out like that,” Hynes said. “You can start to see the confidence and resiliency starting to come back for him.” It almost turned into four halfway through the third period when Ben Street was hooked from behind on a breakaway and was awarded a penalty shot – his second in the last three games. While Street connected on a shorthanded penalty shot last Saturday against St. John’s, Jones stopped his wrist shot on Friday.

The Penguins have now won three of their last five home games and hope to continue the run tonight in a sold-out contest against the Syracuse Crunch. “We struggled at home all year so anytime we can get a win it’s going to help,” McDonald said. “We have a sellout tomorrow night and it’s always nice to get a win in that type of environment.” NOTES • The Penguins survived a couple of scares in the first period. D Cody Wild crumpled to the ice after he was crushed along the boards by Manchester’s J.D. Watt. Later, Thiessen laid on the ice for several minutes after he was plowed over by Mullen. Both remained in the game. • F Jason Williams was recalled by Pittsburgh before Friday’s game. F Ryan Schnell was returned to Wheeling on Friday. • D Boris Valabik (injury), D

Brett Good (14 points) and Ryan Hoinski (10 points). Leading the Patriots, Steve Stravinski scored 19 points while Jordan Houseman added 10. Valley West adopted a more conservative defensive strategy in the second half, forcing poor shots from the Patriots guards. “You saw them in the first half,” Reimiller said. “They don’t miss from the three-point line. We started getting back and playing a little of boxing out and rebounding.

“That’s the name of the game. That’s fundamentals.” “I thought we made poor decisions in terms of shot selection in the second half,” Pittston Area coach Al Kiesinger said.

“When we scouted them, they played everybody tough,” Miller said. “They played us tough, too. We’re lucky we got some easy buckets.” Coughlin first-year coach Mike Day attributed many of those easy points to turnovers. “We had over 20 turnovers,” Day said. “Give Dallas credit. They took advantage of our mistakes and scored off them.” Coughlin’s patience on offense waned in the second half as did

its ability to hit from beyond the arc. After hitting 3-of-7 three-point attempts in the first two quarters, the Crusaders were 0-for-9 the rest of the game.

The Americans are already done after three rounds at the men’s Australian Open.

The Associated Press

By JOHN PYE AP Sports Writer

MELBOURNE, Australia — For the first time in four decades, there will be no American man in the fourth round of the Australian Open. John McEnroe thinks he knows why. The seven-time Grand Slam champion, who is working as a TV analyst at Melbourne Park, suspects a lack of passion. “You could certainly wonder whether our guys are as hungry as some of the others,” McEnroe said on Fox after John Isner lost to 18th-seeded Feliciano Lopez in the third round Friday. “It really comes down to the individual. If people have heart or desire, that to me is more important than any shot.” This is the first time no U.S. player reached the men’s fourth round at the Australian Open since 1973 — when no Americans traveled to the tournament. Isner, the last American man left in the singles draw, lost to Lopez 6-3, 6-7 (3), 6-4, 6-7 (0), 6-1. It was the 6-foot-9 Isner’s second straight five-set match after he knocked out David Nalbandian in a 4-hour, 41-minute thriller. “It’s very ugly, to be honest, to have no one in the round of 16,” Isner said. “We’ve got to try to rectify that next time the big tournaments roll around. “It’s very disappointing. That’s not a good effort from the Americans in this tournament. I knew going in today I was the last one left and I wanted to keep on going, but just didn’t happen.” Instead, Lopez earned a fourthround match against Rafael Nadal, who won the 2009 Australian Open and has 10 major titles to his credit. The last American man to win the Australian Open was Andre Agassi in 2003. No. U.S. man has

won a major since Andy Roddick at the 2003 U.S. Open. “We’ve been spoiled with the success we’ve had in the past,” McEnroe said. At least the Americans still have Serena Williams, the 13time Grand Slam champion who is on a16-match winning streak at Melbourne Park. She won titles in 2009 and 2010 but missed last year because of injury. On Saturday night, the five-time champion will play Greta Arn of Hungary in the third round. Before that, defending champion Novak Djokovic will take on Nicolas Mahut of France at Rod Laver Arena. Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova was on court for 38 minutes Saturday before advancing to the fourth round. The secondseeded Czech was leading 6-0, 1-0 on Rod Laver Arena when Maria Kirilenko retired with a left thigh injury. It was the fourth retirement of the women’s tournament.

who could end the season’s first major with the top ranking, will face Ana Ivanovic of Serbia or unseeded American Vania King in the Round of 16. When four American men reached the fourth round of the U.S. Open in September — only two majors after no Americans reached the round of 16 at the French Open — Roddick talked about a “healthy jealousy” contributing to the improvement. There hadn’t been four American men into the fourth round at the U.S. Open since 1995. It didn’t last long in Melbourne. Among the best contenders, No. 8 Mardy Fish lost to Alejandro Falla of Colombia in the second round before Roddick hurt his right hamstring and had to retire from his second-round match with former No. 1 Lleyton Hewitt. Ryan Harrison took No. 4 Andy Murray to four sets before losing; Ryan Sweeting lost to No. 5 David Ferrer; and Donald Young lost to qualifier Lukas Lacko. “People expect us to contend

for Grand Slams,” McEnroe said. “I think there’s a lot of tennis fans, but to have an American contending and winning majors, that would make a big difference.” The pressure of being last man standing got to Isner on Friday when he lapsed in the last set after dominating the fourth-set tiebreaker. “It just got away from me. I just wasn’t as sharp as I needed to be,” he said. “It just kind of spiraled out of control there, and it just ... I couldn’t climb out of the hole I dug.”

KAUPULEHU-KONA, Hawaii — Tom Lehman and Bruce Vaughan shot 7-under 65 on Friday to share the firstround lead in the Champions Tour’s season-opening Mitsubishi Electric Championship. Lehman, the player of the year last season on the 50-andover tour, birdied the final hole at Hualalai Resort to match Vaughan at the top of the leaderboard. Brad Faxon, Loren Roberts, Corey Pavin and Jay Haas were a shot back. Dan Forsman and Michael Allen followed at 67. Defending champion John Cook opened with a 69, and Fred Couples had a 72. All but five of the 41 players shot par or better on the Jack Nicklaus-designed course, the easiest layout on the tour eight of the last nine years. Lehman had five birdies and an eagle on the 10th, playing the par-5 holes in 5 under. His eagle putt on the 10th came from 20 feet. “The wind started to blow right about then. It started to get stronger on the eighth, ninth, 10th holes,” Lehman said. “That hole was straight downwind and I hit a good drive and a 6-iron. I had 20 feet and hit a beautiful putt, perfect speed, right in the center. “But it was playing more like a par 4, it’s like picking up a stroke or a stroke and a quarter on the field, not one of those ea-

gles where you pick up two.” A three-time winner last season, Lehman became the first player to be honored as the player of the year on all three PGA Toursanctioned tours. He won the Nationwide award in 1991 and the PGA Tour honor in 1996. Vaughan played in the third group, missing the wind that picked up to 15 mph in the afternoon. His only bogey came on the 16th hole, but he rallied with birdies on the final two holes for his lowest score on the Champions Tour by two shots. Vaughan has limited exempt status this year and got into the tournament because of his victory in the 2008 Senior British Open. “I’m just playing the majors and will try to Monday qualify and stuff,” he said.

BERNIE FINE SCANDAL

Emotional apology from Indians’ ‘Carmona’

Attorney dropping civil suit

The Cleveland pitcher was released following an arrest for using a false identity.

By DIONISIO SOLDEVILA Associated Press

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic — The Cleveland Indians pitcher known as Fausto Carmona issued a tearful apology Friday as he was released following his arrest for allegedly using a false identity to play baseball in the U.S. “I ask for the forgiveness of my fans, the government of the United States and the Cleveland Indians for this situation,” he said upon leaving the court, where a judge released him on bail of about $13,000. Police arrested him Thursday outside the U.S. consulate in his native Dominican Republic when he arrived to get his visa re-

newed. Spokesman Maximo Baez Aybar said the athlete’s real name is Roberto Hernandez Heredia and that he is 31, three years older than he had claimed. He was the second Dominican player arrested in recent months for using a false identity. Marlins reliever Leo Nunez was arrested last month for using a false identity, three months after the team placed him on the restricted list when it became known he was playing under an assumed name. Nunez, whose actual name is Juan Oviedo, was quickly released and officials said he would not be prosecuted because he was cooperating with a larger investigation into the use of false documents. Lawyers for Hernandez said the Indians pitcher would speak in more detail at a later news conference. Judge Keyla Perez ordered him not to leave the

PITTSBURGH — Evgeni Malkin scored in his fifth straight game and added the lone goal in the shootout to give the Pittsburgh Penguins a 5-4 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Friday night. Pittsburgh won its fifth straight, with Malkin capping a two-goal third-period rally with his 25th of the season with 2:43 left in regulation. The NHL scoring leader then beat Peter Budaj in the shootout. Dustin Jeffrey scored twice and added an assist for Pittsburgh, and Kris Letang had a goal and an assist. Marc-Andre Fleury overcame a shaky start to finish with 25 saves. Andrei Kostitsyn and Erik Cole each had a goal and an assist for the Canadiens. Lars Eller and Max Pacioretty also scored, and Budaj made 34 saves. Montreal appeared ready to notch its second impressive victory in a week, taking a 4-2 lead into the third period against a Pittsburgh team playing its third game in four days. Then the Canadiens decided to play it safe. Not the best idea considering how well Malkin is playing at the moment. The Penguins kept pushing. Jeffery scored his second goal of the game and the season 3:32 into the third to pull Pittsburgh to 4-3. Budaj dug in, but the Penguins were relentless, peppering the backup netminder. Malkin finally broke through, tying it with a sizzling slap shot from the top of the right faceoff circle. The typically reserved Russian banged on the glass after the puck sailed high over Budaj’s stick and into the net. Hurricanes 3, Capitals 0 RALEIGH, N.C. — Jussi Jokinen scored two goals, Cam Ward made 23 saves for his 18th career shutout and the Carolina Hurricanes beat the Washington Capitals 3-0 on Friday night. Jiri Tlusty added a late goal and Eric Staal had two assists, including the early hustle play that led to Carolina’s eighth short-handed goal of the season. They helped Carolina beat the Southeast Division-leading Capitals for the first time this season and defeat them in regulation at home for the first time in more than two years. Tomas Vokoun stopped 30 shots for Washington, which had won four of five and entered 8-0-1 in its last nine against Carolina. The Capitals were 0-for-3 on the power play.

hold options for 2013 at $9 million and 2014 at $12 million. “We were recently made aware of the situation that occurred today in the Dominican Republic and are currently in the process of gathering information,” general manager Chris Antonetti said after the arrest. Carmona’s career in Cleveland has been one of extremes. After going 1-10 in 2006, the right-hander with a wicked slider won 19 games in 2007, shocking the Indians, who had briefly experimented with him as a closer. Carmona followed up with a disappointing 2008 season, and in 2009 the club sent him to the lower minors to work on his mechanics. Carmona rebounded to win 13 games in 2010. Although he went just 7-15 last season, Carmona stayed healthy and was expected to be part of the starting rotation this season.

Big third quarter fuels Sixers The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Jrue Holiday had 16 points and 11 assists, and Thaddeus Young scored 20 points to lead the Philadelphia 76ers to a 90-76 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Friday night. Andre Iguodala scored 11 points and Elton Brand grabbed 16 rebounds to help the 76ers win for the ninth time in 11 games and improve to 7-1 at home. The Sixers left a dismal first half in the dust with a sensational third quarter. Jodie Meeks hit a pair of 3-pointers and Iguodala rocked nearly 18,000 fans with a pair of thunderous dunks during a 14-0 run. In a game between teams that started the night as division leaders, the Hawks were in control until the Sixers found their way. Holiday had five of his 11 assists in the third and the Sixers pulled ahead by 18 in the fourth. Bucks 100, Knicks 86 NEW YORK — Brandon Jennings scored a season-high 36 points, and the Milwaukee Bucks won on the road for the first time this season by beating the New York Knicks 10086 Friday night. The Bucks won for the sixth time in their last seven trips to New York, where they played better than a Knicks team that has lost five straight overall and heard frequent boos after turning the ball over or missing shots right at the rim all night. Milwaukee snapped a threegame overall skid and improved to 1-8 on the road. The Bucks dominated the second half behind Jennings, who loves to make the Knicks pay for passing on him with the No. 8 pick in the 2009 draft.

Rookie guard Brandon Knight scored 22 points for Detroit, which has lost 10 of 11. Marc Gasol added 17 points for Memphis, and Mike Conley had 14 points and 11 assists.

Angeles Lakers on Friday night. Jameer Nelson added 17 points and nine assists, and J.J. Redick had 15 points as Orlando had all five starters in double figures. Kobe Bryant scored 30 points and Pau Gasol chipped in 13 for the Lakers, who lost their second straight and posted a season low in points to drop to 1-6 on the road this season. Nuggets 108, Wizards 104 WASHINGTON — Al Harrington scored a season-high 29 points, and Danilo Gallinari and Ty Lawson each had 21 to lead the Denver Nuggets over the Washington Wizards 108104 on Friday night. It was the fifth win in six games for the Nuggets, who played without Nene due to a bruised right heel. He’s expected back Saturday in New York. After Arron Afflalo gave Denver a 100-98 lead on a layup with 2:07 to play, Harrington hit a 3-pointer with 1:14 left to make it 103-98. Washington dropped to 2-13 and failed to post its first twogame winning streak. Last season, it took the Wizards 39 games to win two in a row. Nick Young lead Washington with 25 points. John Wall had 13 points, 10 assists and nine rebounds — narrowly missing his second career triple-double.

Third accuser admits to altering emails to bolster case against former coach. The Associated Press

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The attorney for a Maine man who accused fired Syracuse assistant basketball coach Bernie Fine of molesting him says he’s dropping a civil lawsuit filed in Pittsburgh. Jeffrey R. Anderson, attorney for Zach Tomaselli, said in a statement Friday that he “will be dismissing his case” against Fine and will no longer represent Tomaselli. “We are sad and disappointed that we cannot pursue justice for Zach, but we will continue to support him in his recovery,” Anderson said. Anderson dropped the lawsuit after the 23-year-old Tomaselli told The Post-Standard of Syracuse in an interview earlier Friday that he altered emails from Syracuse police before forwarding them to the paper in an attempt to bolster his account. But Tomaselli insisted he didn’t make up the allegations about Fine molesting him when he was 13 in a Pittsburgh hotel room. “I did not fabricate the story,” he told The Associated Press in a phone interview. “The investigation is still ongoing. There’s plenty of evidence I’ve been cooperating. A lot of corroboration has occurred, there’s plenty of evidence.” Tomaselli said the police investigation is ongoing as far as he knows, and he said he has not asked police to end their investigation. “I’m going to let the investigation speak for itself,” he said. Syracuse police spokesman Sgt. Tom Connellan referred all questions to the U.S. Attorney’s office. “The investigation is still pending,” Assistant U.S. Attorney John Duncan said Friday, declining further comment. There was no immediate comment from Fine’s attorney, Karl Sleight. Tomaselli was the third person to make allegations of sexual abuse against Fine this fall. Two former ballboys for the Syracuse men’s basketball team also accused Fine of molesting them. Fine has denied the allegations. Only Tomaselli’s case falls within the statute of limitations.

COLLEGE HOCKEY

PSU board approves new ice rink The Associated Press

STATE COLLEGE — Penn State’s Board of Trustees formally approved the construction of a new on-campus arena for the school’s fledgling Division I hockey program. The 6,000-seat Pegula Ice Arena will house the Nittany Lions’ men’s and women’s hockey teams. They will compete as Division I independents in the 2012-13 season. The Big Ten will start a men’s conference the following season. The 200,000 square-foot arena is a gift from alumni Terry Pegula, who pledged an $88 million gift in September 2010 to upgrade the hockey programs at his alma mater. It was the largest private donation in school history. Pegula is the owner of the NHL’s Buffalo Sabres. Construction on the new arena is scheduled to begin Feb. 1. The arena will also be used as a yearround recreational facility. Penn State currently fields only club-level hockey teams.

Home sales show increase

A Plymouth landmark is back in service

Home sales rose in December to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.62 million, according to National Association of Realtors. That’s the fastest pace in nearly a year. A third straight monthly sales gain coincided with other signs of improvement for the troubled U.S. housing market. Mortgage rates are low, homebuilders are more hopeful and home construction has picked up. For the entire year, sales totaled 4.26 million, well below the 6 million that economists equate with healthy housing markets.

Regulators have closed small banks in Pennsylvania, Georgia and Florida, the first failures of 2012 following 92 closures last year. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. on Friday seized American Eagle Savings Bank of Boothwyn, Delaware County, with $19.6 million in assets and $17.7 million in deposits.

Southwest Airlines Co. said Friday that it would keep flying to 22 cities served by AirTran Airways but end flights to six others, including Allentown and Harrisburg, as it combines the two airlines. The dropped cities are smaller than typical Southwest markets. Southwest said it couldn’t afford to serve such markets with today’s high jet fuel prices. The changes announced Friday will be included in new schedules that Southwest and AirTran will publish Sunday.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand — New Zealand police raided several homes and businesses linked to the founder of Megaupload.com, a giant Internet filesharing site shut down by U.S. authorities, on Friday and seized guns, millions of dollars, and nearly $5 million in luxury cars, officials said. Police arrested founder Kim Dotcom and three Megaupload employees on U.S. accusations that they facilitated millions of illegal downloads of films, music and other content costing copyright holders at least $500 million in lost revenue. Extradition proceedings against them could last a year or more. With 150 million registered users, about 50 million hits daily and endorsements from music superstars, Megaupload.com was among the world’s biggest file-sharing sites. According to a U.S. indictment, the site, which was shut down Thursday, earned Dotcom $42 million in 2010 alone. Although the company is based in Hong Kong and Dotcom lives in New Zealand, some of the alleged pirated content was hosted on leased servers in Virginia, and that was enough for U.S. prosecutors to act. Megaupload is considered a “cyberlocker,” in which users can upload and transfer files that are too large to send by email. Such sites can have perfectly legitimate uses.

Alex Hazzouri is the owner of the renovated Plymouth Manor Personal Care Center, Plymouth. The facility, under different ownership, had closed two years ago.

or cut it into pieces for parts and materials. The work will be done by salvage companies that will inspect and assess the damage and make recommendations on how to proceed. But the job will be unusual for them: Such companies typically rescue container ships or oil tankers that run aground. Here, they must deal with a 951-foot-long, 17-deck cruise ship with 1,500 cabins. The vessel is resting on its starboard side atop protruding rocks, in a position

take months before the scene changes much. Workers have begun placing booms around the ship to prevent oil spills as crews wait for the OK to start removing 2,400 tons of fuel and oil from the double-hulled vessel, which ran aground last week on the island of Giglio. The removal is estimated to take three to four weeks. Engineers, meanwhile, will gauge the structural damage to the $450 million ship. Next comes the decision on whether to repair and re-float it

that salvage experts say makes inspecting and repairing the vessel complicated because any movement could drop the ship into deeper water. If Costa Cruises decides to repair the ship, the first steps would be to seal the gashes in the hull and pump the water out of the vessel, salvage experts said. Experts say cutting up the vessel and hauling away the pieces on barges would be a simpler task but would take much longer.

The heavy snow we’ve been experiencing this morning will be coming to an end soon. I expect the snow to taper off by noon in eastern Pennsylvania. A few snow showers and ﬂurries are possible this afternoon but not the heavy, steady snow we had this morning. The sky will become partly sunny this afternoon with temperatures in the lower 30s. As the storm pulls away, it may become a little breezy at times so bundle up if you’re heading outside.

SANDRA SNYDER WALL TO WALL

‘Semi-homemade’ in vogue

By AMANDA KWAN

Associated Press

HOENIX — If you can look at a dented, chipped, dusty piece of furniture that’s been in someone’s garage for years and see potential and beauty, then Debbie Nelson is impressed.

“The average person has a difficult time piecing it together,” says the Phoenix-area furniture refinisher. Nelson, a single mother of seven, has made a living out of finding treasure in other people’s trash. Her online furniture store, Funky Junk Restore, is half a year old, and she already has so much business that she’s looking for help beyond her current work crew (her kids, ages 7 to 23). She works from home in Mesa, a suburb where home foreclosure rates are sky-high and one in five

office spaces sit empty. But Nelson is among a growing number of stay-at-home moms in Phoenix and around the country who have turned years of do-it-yourself experience into successful businesses. The idea is similar to TV cook Sandra Lee’s “semi-homemade” philosophy in cooking. Lee has built a cooking-show empire on the idea that mostly ready-made food plus some fresh ingredients can result in “food that looks and See FURNITURE, Page 2C

A restoration avocation in White Haven By MARY THERESE BIEBEL mbiebel@timesleader.com

If you’re about to put your drinking glass on a tabletop made from quality wood, just stop. Don’t do it. You could leave a water stain and, years from now when your furniture is an antique, someone like David Russell Quinn might find the damage too deep to fix. “I give it the pin test,” said Quinn, a hobbyist who enjoys sprucing up and repairing older pieces. “If (a stain) is skin deep, I can sand it. If it’s oneeighth of an inch or deeper, that’s too much.” Quinn and his wife, Shelly, have filled Allegheny Furniture, their parttime business in downtown White

Haven, with antiques they lovingly repair, clean and polish, as well as some modern pieces. Here you’ll find lyre-back chairs, claw-foot tables and a rocking chair with a magazine rack built in near the armrest. Oh, yes, there’s a gossip bench, too. “When you talked on a phone,” Shelly Quinn said, “you used to not be able to walk around.” Hence the opportunity for furniture designers to come up with a desklike bench that contains a special nook for the telephone directory. The Quinns find many old pieces when they’re called upon to empty See COUPLE, Page 2C PETE G. WILCOX PHOTOS/THE TIMES LEADER

ABOVE: Some little friends warm this old-to-new-bench. BELOW: This bed has not only a headboard but a footboard, which is a sign it’s an older piece.

The Quinns find many old pieces when they’re called upon to empty estates, and they have various techniques for making them look “as good as new.”

Turns out an intervention’s a lovely thing

ant a new way to take stock of your life, of who you are as a person, who you used to be, who you’ve become and where you might be going in this world? Head into your kitchen and first take everything off the countertops. Then open every cabinet door and every drawer and start taking stuff out of those, too, as much as you can. (The little cabinet above the refrigerator counts.) And, if you, like me, happened to, at some point in your life, install or purchase extra storage space, say, in the form of bonus shelves or freestanding structures, approach those as well, with an open mind. Approach and just start removing random stuff. Done? OK, now line all of this stuff up in the tightest space you can possibly find, on a big table or something, right there in the open, and just stare at it. In utter disbelief. Then ask yourself: Who am I? And vow to change. Don’t know about you, but I’m a new person this new year. Or at least I feel like one. Not because I actually performed this exercise myself but because I let someone do it for me. As in, I voluntarily subjected myself to a “kitchen intervention” on the promise of a great reward: I could go out that very minute, to my favorite big box, the kind that sells those incredibly big (but still budget-priced) storage cabinets of my dreams and ask for one immediately. I could have a nice two-man team put the 220-pound box into the back of my car, and I could toodle it home, where the biggest minimalist I’ve ever known would put it together for me that very day. (This has always been the problem. Even the words “easy assembly” tend to give me hives, so I can’t always buy what I want.) Anyway, there was just one tiny condition: Mr. Minimalist, only in town for a spell, would make swift work of said easy assembly if I allowed him the sayso in what had to leave kitchen and take up residence in basement-destined Mr. Big Cabinet (or somewhere else, trash receptacle not excluded). He admitted the outright obnoxiousness of his proposal straightaway, but I nonetheless accepted straightaway. Anyone who ever offers to assemble anything for me is golden in my book, and, besides, it would be easy, though not right, to cheat a bit once he was gone, if I really, really had to. I tell you, never did a minimalist man assembling something for a maximalist woman look so handsome poring over an instruction manual – those also give me hives – amid a heap of Part A’s, Piece B’s and Doodad C’s. And he did make swift work of it, getting all except the doors done in the time available. Don’t think less of me if I tell you I had a passing thought that right there was my out. If someone else had to do the doors, maybe I also could hold up 80 percent of my bargain? (Sometimes I am not a good person.) Well, today, I’m proud to report that it’s been almost a full month, I’ve held up my whole bargain, and my kitchen has never been so happy. Countertops have far more work space, for one thing, and the general lines just look a whole lot cleaner, easier on the eyes at the end of a long, long day. As for the cabinet, it’s one suffering servant. I’m not proud to report how quickly I filled this puppy up. Already, its shelves, supported only by those tiny pegs, are groaning under the weight of Crock-Pots and carafes, pitchers and platters and a veritable landfill of “occasional-use” gadgets and “entertaining” ware. A second intervention, I fear, will soon be in order. Which prompts a pressing question: Why? Why this and that and that and this? What should and shouldn’t linger in our homes? I’d like you to weigh in. Let’s “inventory” our lives, so to speak. Stay tuned in two weeks, which is when we’ll get this party started.

Try not to sweat over foggy windows YOUR PLACE

YOU MAY THINK I’m all wet, but I’ve decided to talk about condensation, only because I receive a lot of questions about foggy windows in the winter. Apparently, I’m not the only one. “We often get calls from homeowners who are concerned that their windows are ‘sweating’ or leaking either inside or outside the home because they see moisture on the glass,” said Christopher Burk, technical product manager at Simonton Windows in Columbus, Ohio. That’s simply not the case. “While condensation may collect on the interior or exterior of energy-efficient windows, the units are really doing their job by helping serve as a barrier in the home,” Burk said. Windows don’t cause condensation. They just prevent the moisture in the home from escaping to the outside. “If the inside glass surface on double- or triple-glazed windows shows excessive moisture, you can be reasonably sure that the moisture is also collecting on your walls and ceilings,” Burk said. “This means you should take steps to reduce the humidity level in your home by using exhaust fans and dehumidifiers.” A lot of the water vapor is created by the inhabitants. A family of four can add a half pint of water vapor every hour to the home just through normal breathing and perspiration. And, if you take a fiveminute shower, you produce another half pint of water vapor. Even the simple act of

they want but lack the creativity or time to execute it. And, she adds, they probably shouldn’t, given the cost of materials, labor and time needed for a DIY project: “I don’t think it’s necessarily worth it for just one item.” In the Phoenix area, a two-day, DIY home-decor seminar with a $150 admission fee attracted more than a dozen women. It drew so much positive feedback that organizers plan to host the “Hello There! House” seminars twice a year. Many semi-homemade businesswomen learned their trade through trial and error as they redecorated their own homes. Natalie Cox of Natty By Design says the shabby-chic style in particular lends itself to easier and faster projects, because wear and tear is part of the charm. A 28year-old mother of four children under 7 years old, Cox sells what she calls “more modern furniture” — pieces that might take inspiration from high-end stores like Horchow. She says she would have time for more custom projects if she went the shabby chic

GRUMPO’S WAREHOUSE 171 RACE ST., W-B 825-9166 Double Heart, Arrow Thru Heart, Cupid with Heart, Shimmer Heart, Pink or Red Sculpture Heart, Lips

You might be surprised at the spacious layout inside this traditional design, Plan HMAFAPW00321 from Homeplans.com. Efficient design makes the most of 1,536 square feet of living space, which can be doubled by finishing the full basement. The basic rectangular shape allows for efficient building without sacrificing exterior appeal. Economy is also embodied in such features as back-to-back plumbing and a centrally located furnace. The entry opens to a spacious living room (which easily could serve as an office or den) and, straight back, the beam-ceilinged family room. This space holds plenty of room for watching movies and relaxing with the family. A snack-bar pass-through to the kitchen makes dishing up easy.

route, but she prefers the other style. “I have to stay true to myself,” Cox says. Cox started Natty By Design in January 2011 in the garage of her home in the Phoenix suburb of Gilbert to supplement her husband’s salary while he works on his MBA at Arizona State University. She had been refurbishing furniture for her family for years and “had all the equipment already,” she says. “The furniture allowed me to stay at home and be with my kids.” A steady stream of business, mostly from referrals or Craigslist posts, has allowed her to be

picky with projects and to raise prices. Now she schedules the semi-custom requests around her children’s schedules. Nelson spent a recent Saturday meeting with clients in the front room of her house, a large former music room that now serves as office and showroom. And she’s interviewing furniture painters “who can, you know, do the base coats so that it frees up my time” for the rest of her business — buying, refinishing, sanding, staging photo shoots, listing online and meetings with clients. “People become overwhelmed that the economy is bad. But business is thriving,” she says.

estates, and they have various techniques for making them look “as good as new,” from carving and sanding to removing layers of paint. “Someone put five coats of paint on that mahogany table,” said David Quinn, who thinks that’s not a good way to treat a piece of fine hardwood. “My mom stripped that for us,” Shelly Quinn said of the time-consuming job. “When she decides to do something, she sticks to it and makes sure she does it right.” The Quinns have a similar philosophy, taking care to refurbish pieces as unusual as an old-time stand with a mirror, built-in candle holders and space for a shaving basin. That’s in the back room, where David Quinn finds working with wood a great stress-buster. The Quinns, who have fulltime jobs as a manager and a postal employee, opened Allegheny Furniture two years ago in a building near their home. In its earlier incarnations, the historic structure was a livery stable, a silk mill, a

tastes from scratch.” Nelson likes the parallel to what she and other furniture-refurbishing moms have done with pieces bought from estate sales, yard sales, Craigslist or secondhand shops. She looks for secondhand pieces from well-known furniture makers and uses paint, wood finishes and new hardware to make them look and feel new — for the same price as a new piece made of flimsier materials like particle board or wood veneers. “I’m about value and money,” Nelson says. “I want to give you the most couture look as possible.” The style she favors is mostly “shabby chic,” with some “industrial” as well. Pieces have a carefully wrought weathered look made popular by stores such as Anthropologie and Pottery Barn. Shabby chic-ing involves buying vintage wood pieces with ornate details such as curved legs. Industrial requires a mind for repurposing rusty metal commercial equipment for home use. What’s required, Nelson says, is knowing enough about furniture to see “good bones.” Many people who come to semi-homemade furniture sellers like herself, she says, know what

David Quinn divided the space within into about a dozen small rooms, some of them filled with such bedroom furnishings as a bed, hope chest, armoire and dressing table and others with dining-room sets. Older pieces might be adorned with a maple leaf on a dresser drawer or a sheaf of wheat carved into a breakfront. Shelly Quinn likes to mix the antiques with modern pieces. “It makes the antiques stand out more.”

Walls often do not make good conductors for casual conversations Dear Abby: What do you think about people who attempt to converse with you from another room? My boyfriend does it fairly often. He may be on the computer while I’m reading or watching TV, and he’ll yell out a question or tell me something. Most of the time I answer him, but then he’ll continue the conversation — all from the other room. I think it makes no sense because with the TV on it’s difficult to hear him. If I want to speak to someone in another room, I get off my “keester” and go directly to him or her. My former roommate used to do the same thing. Is this a “guy thing”? — Can’t Hear in New York

Dear Can’t Hear: Nope. It’s just lazy. And it continues because you allow it. Tell your boyfriend that if he has something he wants to say to you, he should come and say it. Point out that you give him that respect. And if he “forgets,” stay put and don’t answer.

always chilly. She bought me heavy pajamas and a warm robe for Christmas. I don’t like spicy food — she does. She gave me two large containers of seasoning containing chili pepper. I love to read fiction while she prefers nonfiction. For my birthday I received a book about history. This kind of exchange has been going on for years, and I don’t remember receiving one gift I could really use. What can I say to her? — Peeved in Pittsburgh

Dear Abby: I have a friend with whom I exchange birthday and Christmas gifts. I make a great deal of effort to find things I know she would like. My friend, however, buys me things she would like for herself. Example: I’m always hot while she’s

Dear Peeved: To say something would be rude. I do have a suggestion, however. On the next gift-giving occasion, give your friend some things YOU would like. Example: A pretty fan to accessorize a summer dress, a jar of your favorite jam, a

novel or two you would enjoy reading — and then you can agree on a gift exchange. Problem solved. Dear Abby: I have a 2-year-old son, “Seth.” His father, “Ray,” and I went our separate ways during my pregnancy. He came to see Seth a few times when he was a couple of months old and promised he’d continue, but he didn’t follow through. Ray has married since then, and hasn’t called to ask about his son. I don’t call him either. He didn’t show up for court and the DNA test, so the judge ordered him to pay child support by default, which he has been doing. I don’t believe in forcing a man to be a father, and I would never make my son visit him. It is obvious Ray has no interest in

his child. I contacted the grandparents and they are just as cold. What do I tell Seth when he asks about his father? — Sole Parent in Alabama Dear Sole Parent: Tell him the truth. Explain that when he was born, Ray wasn’t ready to accept the responsibilities that go along with being a dad — and that as time has passed, Ray has been unwilling to step forward. It would be worse to give your son false information or false hope.

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

GOREN BRIDGE WITH OMAR SHARIF & TANNAH HIRSCH PREVIOUS DAY’S SOLUTION

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll be frugal without thinking too much about it or trying too hard to save. You’ll naturally gravitate toward choices that put more money in your pocket because they just make sense. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll use your originality in an environment where almost everyone is doing the same thing. You’ll stand out in a good way. People will notice you and, in a sense, feel more awake. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). People will ask you difficult questions. You’ll have an inkling about this, and you’ll be wise to anticipate, prepare for and rehearse ahead of time. Try out different answers to see what feels right. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Tension levels will rise and fall. You can manage your stress through exercise and other coping strategies. Talk to a friend. Cut events out of your schedule. Slow things down. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Is it your ego pushing you forward or are you merely acting on the impulse of destiny? Stay aware of the others around you. If you are meant to be No. 1, no one else will be hurt in the process. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It will be an all around good day. You’ll be in high spirits and quite productive. Spontaneous activities will delight you. The events you plan will be equally special. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Travel, teaching and study are avenues for increasing the money flow to your realm, and that’s not the only positive result for your efforts.

HOW TO CONTACT: Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll stir things up. You’ll add some sparkle and perhaps a pinch of mischief, to another person’s life. Your creations and suggestions will invigorate the action. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). More research is needed before you’re really ready to go for a goal. Read and make arrangements to interview those who are in the know. You’ll clarify your goals over the course of next week. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It seems like you’re always the one expected to be the grown-up of the group. Sometimes you wish you didn’t have to have such a high level of responsibility. Take a breather. You’ll feel better after you de-stress. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When your mood is lighthearted, the beauty in you radiates out. Your upbeat social energy will help you attract people who give you even more reason to laugh. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Keep trying new approaches to a problem. It will be easier to experiment when you truly believe that there’s a magic combination that will work. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 21). You will move outside your normal avenues of thought. Newfound knowledge will add depth to your life. Endeavors come to completion in February. A new relationship becomes strong through spring. Your focus on work, service, education and travel will lead to achievement in the fall. Libra and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 2, 12, 18 and 50.

A two-ddoor too appealing to gripe too much about This quirk is not terribly noticeable when accelerating at full throttle and shifting quickly. During leisurely driving, however, the sensation is disconcerting because it feels like something is amiss under the hood. But Honda reportedly designed the engine to operate that way to deliver smoother shifting and reduce stress on the powertrain. The longer I drove the Civic, the less its quirk bothered me because the engine is otherwise such a delight. Mashing the throttle and letting the tachometer needle climb to its 7,000-rpm redline (which is also its 201-horsepower peak) delivers a visceral treat that begins at around 5,000 rpm when the engine transforms from Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde.

SCOTT WASSER WHEELS

I love my mother but have always hated her taste in cars. She currently owns a minivan because of its practicality, but mom would rather be seen in a two-door coupe. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been that way for as long as I can remember. We owned a succession of large coupes when I was growing up: A Dodge Coronet, a Chevy Impala and an Oldsmobile 88. Later, Mom drove a couple of Cadillac Coupe de Villes. I could never fathom why. Getting in and out of a coupeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rear seat is a nuisance, and a two-doorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s small rear windows can induce claustrophobia. If a car has two rows of seats, it should have four doors. A shrink might blame my â&#x20AC;&#x153;coupea-phobiaâ&#x20AC;? on spending too much time trapped in the back seat of one as a child. But to me itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a matter of practicality. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got an active 12year-old, and a chocolate Lab who is about as lithe as a hippo. Transporting either one in a coupe is a pain. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sharing this because it puts what comes next into perspective: After spending a week driving a 2012 Honda Civic Si Coupe, I was reluctant to return it. The Civic Si is fun to drive. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economical. And, thanks to its hatchback design and 11.7-cubic foot cargo compartment, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty practical. Practically speaking, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to beat a hatchback. The Civic Siâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big hatch and 60/40 split folding rear seatbacks provided as much cargo capacity and versatility as I needed, 412 Autos for Sale

even when it was time to haul my son and his massive hockey gear bag to games. When the games were on the road, I appreciated the Civic Siâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fuel economy. The Honda averaged over 30 miles per gallon on the highway and around 27 mpg overall during my week behind the wheel. The Civic Si was quiet and comfortable enough to provide pleasant transportation during a couple of two-hour tripsâ&#x20AC;Ś which isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always

a given in an affordable compact with a sporty personality. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that personality that is particularly endearing. The Siâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s steering system is a bit lighter and less communicative than I prefer, but its responsiveness and precision are beyond reproach. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true of the Siâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s handling as a whole. Point the Civic where you want it to go, and it gets there without balking.

sharp curve before the Si suggests that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re asking too much of it. At that point, it gently understeers to help an over-aggressive driver avoid trouble. The Civic Siâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s peppy engine contributes to its fun quotient, but it would be even more fun to drive if the engine didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have one annoying habit: Unlike most engines, the Civic Siâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2.4-liter VTEC four-cylinder balks at allowing its revs to drop between shifts.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 21, 2012

A snarl fills the passenger compartment and a series of lights on the dashboard ignite as Honda’s VTEC technology tweaks valve timing and lift to deliver maximum thrust. There’s a noticeable surge – not unlike the sudden boost felt in some turbocharged vehicles – as the Si claws at the pavement. You enjoy the same experience every time the engine is allowed to explore its entire rev range. The Civic Si’s six-speed manual transmission (the only transmission offered on the Si) encourages such exploration. Each gear shift provides an opportunity to admire the short, quick and precise movement of the lever and the effortless but positive and progressive action of the clutch pedal. If you enjoy driving, this experience alone is worth the $23,000 Civic Si’s price of admission. And I enjoyed it enough that I was sorry to see the Civic Si go. Nevertheless, something nagged at me throughout my evaluation. I kept wishing Honda had sent me its new Civic Si Sedan instead of the Coupe. SCOTT WASSER is The Times Leader’s automotive writer.

What is it? 2012 Civic Si Coupe, a sporty compact that’s practical and fun to drive.

What's it cost? Civic Si Coupe starts at $22,205. Add $1,500 for the Navi/XM model tested plus $770 for destination and delivery fees. A sedan version, offered for the first time, costs $200 more.

What I liked best: Engine delivers an energy surge when it’s allowed to rev, accentuating the driving fun.

What I liked least: Revs fall slowly; test car had two less doors than I like.

Important numbers: 2.4-liter, 16-valve, VTEC in-line 4-cyl. engine delivers 201 hp, 170 lbs-ft of torque. 6-speed manual. 103.2-inch wheelbase. 2,897-lb curb weight. 22 city/31 highway mpg (EPA). 0-60 in 6.3 seconds (stopwatch). 11.7 cu. ft. trunk. 135
