WILKES-BARRE – Local fans of Penn State football and supporters of the university are stunned by charges filed against former defensive coordinator Jerry SandINSIDE: Pausky and two othterno facing ers, but they renational scrutimain “Penn State ny.

HARRISBURG — Joe Paterno, major college football’s oldest, winningest and perhaps most revered coach, was engulfed Monday in a growing furor over the alleged cover-up of a sex abuse scandal at Penn State. The Pennsylvania State Police commissioner said Paterno fulfilled his legal requirement when he relayed to university administrators that a graduate assistant had seen former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky attacking a young boy in the team’s locker room shower in 2002. But the commissioner also questioned whether Paterno See SANDUSKY, Page 10A

WASHINGTON – It’s not likely there will be fewer people in the Wyoming Valley and across Pennsylvania seeking federal aid this winter to help pay their heating bills. But it’s likely there will be less money to go around, as the Obama administration, the U.S. House and the Senate all eye varying cuts to the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program. Last year, the Wilkes-Barre and Hazleton offices of the Commission on Economic Opportunity processed about 5,500 LIHEAP applications for households undergoing a heating crisis, said Jennifer Warabak, the commission’s emergency services coordinator. It is a program that last winter would supply up to $400 for the heating season to a family of three at 160 percent of poverty, or less than $28,000 of annual income. The private, nonprofit CEO runs the heating assistance program on behalf of Luzerne County and

Some Dallas fields must wait for 2012

The school district’s foreign language academy will expand to higher grades. By SARAH HITE shite@timesleader.com

DALLAS TWP. -- An architectural associate told board members Monday night some athletic fields on the Dallas School District campus will not be completed until next year. Bob Nesbit, of Crabtree Rohrbaugh & Associates, said many fields are close to 100 percent completion, while others have not been prepared yet because of other site work on campus. Those fields still needing work are the discus, javelin and shot put fields; a second field hockey field; a multipurpose field; and what administrators called a pit field, which will be raised using excess dirt on the property. Nesbit said the project is 871 days into an 822-day project, and he added the site work contractor, Charles Corby & Sons, hopes to have the majority of work completed by Dec. 19. Superintendent Frank Galicki said he will prepare a list for coaches, parents and athletes stating what sports will be played on what fields for next season. He also said the fact that girls soccer, which is normally played during the spring season, has been changed by PIAA

to a fall sport is causing a problem for field planning. In other business, the board heard a presentation from language teacher Candice Fike and international businesswoman Angela Casey on expanding the elementary foreign language academy. Casey, who is fluent in Mandarin Chinese, explained China has become a major influence on the world, from the economy to culture. She presented the academy’s plan to expand beyond elementary students to middle school, high school and adult students as well. The foreign language academy is a tuition-based afterschool program students elect to attend. Students through fifth grade can take classes in French, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese or sign language. Also, Jack Wega, director of federal funding, announced Wycallis Elementary School has been named a distinguished school by the state Department of Education’s division of federal programs for proficiency in its Title I program for two consecutive years. The school is one of 94 to earn this recognition out of more than 1,700 schools with Title I programs in the state. Recently retired Wycallis Elementary Principal Kathleen McCarthy attended the meeting and was applauded by the board and audience for her dedication to the school.

Beware of the bears, Fairview citizens told By JIM MORRISSEY Times Leader Correspondent

FAIRVIEW TWP. – Board of Supervisors Chairman Russell F. Marhold reminded residents on Monday night that black bears are out in the township. Marhold said residents should be careful at night, especially when they take out the garbage. Residents were also advised to put waste in metal cans if possible to deter the bears from getting into the trash. Also, residents from Liberty and Spruce streets asked the supervisors to repair the streets before the winter weather arrives. Marhold told them that patching roads is a priority and the township will continue to do so until all roads are complete. Residents were reminded all basketball hoops are to be removed for the township streets as soon as possible. Residents are also asked not to park vehi-

cles along roadways or in the township right of ways during a snowstorm. A motion was approved to designate Marhold as an agent authorized to execute all required forms and documents for obtaining financial assistance for tropical storms Irene and Lee. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has asked supervisors to announce that the last day to register for any disaster recovery aid is Nov. 14. Any resident with storm-related damage can register at Luzerne County Community College from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Also, supervisors permitted Redmond Lines of the Mountain Top Historical Society to use meeting rooms at Fairview for the society. The dates and times will be posted. A motion was approved to hire John A. Gyory as a parttime police officer at $15.25 per hour starting today.

PLAINS TWP. – Township police reported the following: • Police said Frances Lombardo, of Old Mill Road, Pittston, will be charged with simple assault, harassment and disorderly conduct after he allegedly bit the arm of Harold Billotti, a security officer at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center on Sunday.

Lombardo was transported to county prison on a probation violation, police said. • Dexter Junior Gooden, 42, of Atlantic City, N.J., was charged with theft and receiving stolen property after the state police gaming enforcement office alleged he stole money from a dropped wallet inside the Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs casino on Sunday.

Plymouth Twp. seeks flood grant funds Letter of intent could lead to money for buyouts and mitigation work. By WILLIAM BELL Times Leader Correspondent

PLYMOUTH TWP. – Several matters relating to the aftermath of the September flood were addressed Monday by the township supervisors. The supervisors passed a resolution authorizing the filing of a letter of intent requesting federal grant funds for flood mitigation in the township. Board Chairperson Gale Conrad said the letter is the first step in the possible buyout of flooddamaged homes and other mitigation efforts. She said the township has been told to expect a response no earlier than February. Conrad said that upon a positive response, the township will then inform all homeowners who were affected by the flood. There is no need to

G ENERA L CO NTRA CTO R

come into the township office to sign up. The hope, she said, is to obtain federal funds for buyouts of badly affected home owners, and to obtain federal mitigation funding to “harden” certain public infrastructures to make them less vulnerable to future flooding. Supervisor Joseph Yudichak detailed the work the public works department has been doing with since the flood and said there is one last flood debris pickup being planned. He said the township and its contractors have collected more than 1,200 tons of flood debris so far. Conrad clarified an issue relating to building permit fees. The township has waived all building permit fees for flood victims, but there is still a requirement to obtain building permits and to have

inspections, she said. She said this is a requirement not only under the township’s uniform code ordinance, but also a requirement by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Several ordinances affecting land development were also passed. The first two repealed the township’s subdivision and land development ordinance, and adopted the Luzerne County subdivision and land development ordinance. Also approved was an ordinance naming the Luzerne County Planning Commission as the township’s agent for all subdivision and land development applications. The board will next meet on Dec. 6.

A separate free-and-clear sale, for which liens are cleared, to include about 30 properties

NEWS

1,000 properties in county back-tax sale

SCRANTON

By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

More than 1,000 properties are listed in Thursday’s Luzerne County back-tax sale, though the list will likely shrink as some owners scramble to get their properties removed. Properties are supposed to be auctioned if taxes have gone unpaid for two years. To get out of the sale, property owners must pay taxes owed through 2009, file for bankruptcy or convince a judge to grant more time. The Nov. 10 auction, known as an upset sale, is for properties that have not yet been listed at a delinquent sale. Properties are less likely to sell at upset sales because liens attached to prop-

erties are not forgiven, as opposed to free-and-clear sales, in which liens are cleared and bids typically start at several hundred dollars. John Rodgers, head of the county’s tax claim operator, Northeast Revenue Service LLC, expects about 10 percent of the properties will sell at upset. The county also will auction about 30 properties at a separate free-and-clear sale Thursday. These properties were pulled from an August sale pending more research. The current list of 1,021 upset sale properties includes the former Academy Super Market on Academy Street in Wilkes-Barre, with bids starting at $20,808. The Maryland-based BSE Properties

Cops: Fire chief threatened to shoot 2 in head

LLC bought the property for $14,000 at a September 2006 back-tax sale but has not rehabilitated the property as promised, Wilkes-Barre officials have said. Two large Wilkes-Barre apartment buildings owned by Patricia Kolesar are scheduled for auction: the former Dana Street School and 89 Carey Ave., records show. Bids start at $64,044 and $38,997. At least a dozen commercial and industrial properties are on the list, including an industrial print shop on Foote Avenue in Duryea owned by T P Corp. The property has an assessed value of $1.1 million, and bids start at $231,637. A dozen properties belonging to the late Joseph Nowakowski won’t be listed because a $325,000 payment of back taxes was made through bankruptcy court,

Rodgers said. A series of bankruptcy proceedings kept the Nowakowski properties out of tax sales for years, resulting in unpaid taxes dating back to 1996. Rodgers said payment was made after his company sought court approval to auction the properties. The sale will begin at 10 a.m. in the county courthouse. Updated lists of properties in the auction may be viewed at Northeast Revenue’s website, www.luzernecountytaxclaim.com (click on the judicial and upset sale headings at the left of the main page). Bidders must register by 4:30 p.m. Wednesday. Information on bidding is available by calling the county tax claim office at 825-1512 or visiting the office’s website.

I GUESS IT’S WHY THEY CALL IT ‘FALL’

W-B Twp. fire chief also charged in assault of ex-girlfriend and her male friend. By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE TWP. – Arrest papers obtained Monday allege Wilkes-Barre township Fire Chief John Paul Yuknavich followed his exgirlfriend, Denise Pavlick, from a nightclub to her residence in Plains Township. where he assaulted her and her male friend, Kenneth Scialpi. Plains Township police further allege Yuknavich, 48, of Northampton Street, threatened to put a bullet in each of their heads early Sunday morning. It is the latest in a series of police-related incidents involving Yuknavich in Plains Township, according to court records and The Times Leader archives. Yuknavich has been the fire Yuknavich chief in Wilkes-Barre Township for more than 12 years and has been employed by the township’s road department for nearly 20 years. He could not be reached for comment on Monday. An employee for the township’s road department said Monday morning that Yuknavich was not at the garage. Wilkes-Barre Township Mayor Carl Kuren and Yuknavich’s mother, council President Mary Yuknavich, could not be reached for comment on Monday. Pavlick and Scialpi also could not be reached for comment. According to the latest criminal complaint: Pavlick told police she was with Scialpi at a nightclub at the Woodlands Inn & Resort Sunday morning when she saw her ex-boyfriend Yuknavich. Pavlick did not speak with him and asked Scialpi to follow her home. Pavlick said Yuknavich showed up and punched Scialpi several times in the face. When she tried to call 911, Yuknavich grabbed her cell phone, according to the complaint. Police said in the complaint that Scialpi and Pavlick reported that Yuknavich reached into his waistband and stated he was going to put a bullet in both their heads. Police charged Yuknavich with two counts of terroristic threats, and one count each of simple assault and theft, all misdemeanors, and a summary offense of harassment. He was arraigned by District Judge Martin Kane in Wilkes-Barre and released after posting $10,000 bail. In a prior incident with Plains Township police, Yuknavich pleaded guilty to two counts of disorderly conduct in August 2010, stemming from a disturbance involving Pavlick on Skidmore Street in February 2010. In another incident, a harassment citation against Yuknavich was dismissed when Pavlick refused to testify against him after she said he shoved her outside a diner on East Main Street, Plains Township, in April 2010. A preliminary hearing is scheduled on Nov. 15 before District Judge Diana Malast in Plains Township.

Pittston Area directors target of suit At issue in board member Robert Linskey’s suit is loss of LIU seat. By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

SCRANTON – Pittston Area school director Robert Linskey has filed a federal lawsuit against fellow board members, alleging political motivations were behind their decision to replace him as the district’s representative to Luzerne Intermediate Unit 18. The lawsuit, filed Friday by attorney Cynthia Pollick, claims Linskey was removed, in part, because he voted against hiring a person, who is not identified, who had been supported by another board member. The suit alleges the board member, who also is not identified, sent a text message to Linskey on or about

Aug. 9 that asked him to “remember to vote” for the person that board member supported because “it means a lot to me.” Linskey says he responded that he had to follow the district’s hiring policy. The board member then sent a reply that referred to the policy with an obscene word and added “I’m asking u as a favor,” the suit says. Linskey did not vote for the person. The next month, Linskey was removed as the board’s LIU representative. Linskey had been named to a three-year term as the LIU representative by a 5-3 vote at the Pittston Area School Board’s July meeting. He served in the position only until Sept. 20, when the board voted 5-4 to replace him with board member Anthony Guariglia. The lawsuit alleges there was no

basis to remove Linskey other than the desire to appoint someone who was politically aligned with the board’s majority. Linskey claims that violated his right to due process. The suit names as defendants Guariglia and fellow board members Ross Latona, Martin Quinn, Mark Singer and Bruce Knick, each of whom voted to oust Linskey.

The suit seeks Linskey’s reinstatement as the LIU representative, as well as attorney’s fees and punitive damages.

Wyoming County helped

Wyoming County has received a Recycling Performance Grant in the amount of $4,233 from the state Department of Environmental Protection. DEP awards the grants based on population and the total amount of recycled material. Wyoming County salvaged 563.7 tons in 2009, which could have ended up in a landfill. WYOMING

Bridge remnants will go

The final, remaining span of the old 8th Street Bridge that once connected Wyoming to Jenkins Township over the Susquehanna River will be detonated on Thursday at 1 p.m. The new 8th Street Bridge will be closed to traffic for about 20 minutes while the detonation takes place. The 111-year-old camelback truss bridge closed earlier this year when a new concrete bridge opened just downriver. Two of the four trusses were demolished with dynamite in July. A truss that spanned the middle of the river collapsed in the early morning hours on Oct. 22. Crews removed the collapsed span last week. Nyleve Bridge Corp. is the contractor handling the project. Crews have waited until river levels dropped so they could safely get into the river to attach the detonation devices.

ATHENS, GREECE

Power deal being brokered

ival Greek political parties were hammering out a historic powersharing deal Monday to secure a $179 billion rescue package, but markets remained wary and European leaders kept up pressure by holding back a vital bailout loan. Socialist Prime Minister George Papandreou and conservative leader Antonis Samaras, former college roommates in the U.S, held fresh negotiations on the telephone Monday, hours after reaching the landmark agreement to form a coalition for the next 15 weeks. The new administration’s main job will be passing the new bailout package — agreed by international creditors on Oct. 27 — before holding early elections. Papandreou, who was expected to resign later Monday, also telephoned EU leaders and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who were reacting warily to Athens’ latest political drama.

Woman accuses Cain of a bold sexual advance

Chicago-area woman came forward to support other anonymous accusers. By BETH FOUHY and JACK GILLUM Associated Press

NEW YORK — Speaking in a halting voice, a Chicago-area woman accused Republican presidential contender Herman Cain on Monday of making an unwanted sexual advance against her more than a decade ago, saying she wanted

to provide “a face and a voice” to support other accusers who have so far remained anonymous. “Come clean,” Sharon Bialek challenged Cain, demanding he confess to any inappropriate behavior with her or other women. Cain’s campaign instantly issued a denial. “All allegations of harassment against Mr. Cain are completely false,” it said. Bialek’s appearance at a news conference marked a new and — for Cain — dangerous turn in a controversy that he had

been trying to lay to rest. She described an evening in mid-July 1997 when she had dinner in Washington, D.C., with Cain, whom she had contacted in hopes he could help her find a job. The two were in a car for what she thought was a

ride to an office building. “Instead of going into the offices he suddenly reached over and he put his hand on my leg, under my skirt toward my genitals,” she said. “He also pushed my head toward his crotch,” she added. She said she told Cain to stop, adding that he did. Bialek said she did not file a workplace complaint against Cain at the time because she was not employed. She said she informed both her boyfriend, an unidentified pediatrician, and a longtime

Cigarette graphics blocked

A judge on Monday blocked a federal requirement that would have begun forcing tobacco companies next year to put graphic images including dead and diseased smokers on their cigarette packages. U.S. District Judge Richard Leon ruled that it’s likely the cigarette makers will succeed in a lawsuit to block the requirement. He stopped the requirement until the lawsuit is resolved, which could take years. Leon found the nine graphic images approved by the Food and Drug Administration in June go beyond conveying the facts about the health risks of smoking or go beyond that into advocacy — a critical distinction in a case over free speech.

Syrian crackdown continues

Syrian troops stormed a restive neighborhood in Homs on Monday, kicking in doors and making house-tohouse arrests in an area that has spiraled out of government control after nearly a week of deadly assaults, activists said. The regime is scrambling to clear out Baba Amr, a major center of resistance and reprisal, as Damascus faces potential fallout from the Arab League for defying a peace plan brokered by the 22-nation body with persistent violence. According to activists, more than 110 people have been reported killed in the past week in Homs. The Arab League scheduled an emergency meeting in Cairo on Saturday. It was not clear what action the league would take if the bloodshed continues, although it could isolate Syria by suspending or freezing its membership.

male friend. Bialek appeared at a news conference alongside Gloria Allred, an attorney known for sexual harassment cases. As if to blunt any attacks on her client’s motives, the attorney described Bialek as a registered Republican, and a woman with a long and successful work history. Bialek was employed for parts of 1996 and 1997 at the Educational Foundation of the National Restaurant Association, an industry trade group that Cain headed at the time.

Formula would cut S.S. hikes

WASHINGTON

A record number of Americans — 49.1 million — are poor, based on a new census measure that for the first time takes into account rising medical costs and other expenses. The numbers released Monday are part of a first-ever supplemental poverty measure aimed at providing a fuller picture of poverty. Although considered experimental, they promise to stir fresh debate over Social Security, Medicare and programs to help the poor as a congressional supercommittee nears a Nov. 23 deadline to make more than $1 trillion in cuts to the federal budget. Based on the revised formula, the number of poor people exceeds the record 46.2 million, or 15.1 percent, that was officially reported in September. Broken down by group, Americans 65 or older sustained the largest increases in poverty under the revised formula — nearly doubling to 15.9 percent, or 1 in 6 — because of medical expenses that are not accounted for in the official rate. Those include rising Medicare premiums, deductibles and expenses for prescription drugs.

Experts: No fracking, quake link They say tremors were far stronger than the weak ones from drilling. By SETH BORENSTEIN and JONATHAN FAHEY Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Thousands of times every day, drilling deep underground causes the earth to tremble. But don’t blame the surprise flurry of earthquakes in Oklahoma on man’s thirst for oil and gas, experts say. The weekend quakes were far stronger than the puny tremors from drilling — especially the controversial practice of hydraulic fracturing. The weekend quakes didn’t have the mark of man. They were a

force of nature. Hydraulic fracturing, called fracking, involves injecting millions of gallons of water, sand and chemicals deep underground to break up rock. While that may sound like it could cause an earthquake, experts say the process doesn’t pack nearly the punch of even a moderate earthquake. The magnitude-5.6 quake that rocked Oklahoma three miles underground had the power of 3,800 tons of TNT, which is nearly 2,000 times stronger than the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. The typical energy released in tremors triggered by fracking, “is the equivalent to a gallon of milk falling off the kitchen counter,” said Stanford University geophysicist

Mark Zoback. In Oklahoma, home to 185,000 drilling wells and hundreds of injection wells, the question of man-made seismic activity comes up quickly. But so far, federal, state and academic experts say readings show that the Oklahoma quakes were natural, following the lines of a long-known fault. But there’s a reason people ask if the quakes are man-made rather than from the shifting of the Earth’s crusts. In the past, earthquakes have been linked to energy exploration and production, including from injections of enormous amounts of drilling wastewater or injections of water for geothermal power, experts said.

Vets, business jobs measures allowed to advance The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Senate voted overwhelmingly Monday to temporarily set aside its partisan standoff over President Barack Obama’s jobs plan and move toward giving a modest economic spark to two potent interest groups: veterans and businesses. In a 94-1 roll call, senators voted to start debating a measure repealing a requirement that federal, state and many local governments withhold 3 percent of

their payments to contractors. That bill has been lobbied by a wide swath of industry groups large and small and has no significant opposition. By the time the Senate approves the legislation — perhaps later this week — Democrats planned to add language backed by both parties offering tax breaks to companies that hire veterans and providing vets with employment counseling and other job-hunting services.

Monday’s one-sided vote signaled that barring an unexpected twist, the Senate was likely to send the overall measure to the House, which returns from a recess next week. The tax credits, up to $9,600 for companies hiring disabled veterans who have been jobless at least six months, would represent the first — though tiny — piece of Obama’s $447 billion jobs proposal to be approved by Congress, assuming Senate and then House passage.

WASHINGTON — Just as 55 million Social Security recipients are about to get their first benefit increase in three years, Congress is looking at reducing future raises by adopting a new measure of inflation that also would increase taxes for most families — the biggest impact falling on those with low incomes. If adopted across the government, the inflation measure would have widespread ramifications. Future increases in veterans’ benefits and pensions for federal workers and military personnel would be smaller. And over time, fewer people would qualify for Medicaid, Head Start, food stamps, school lunch programs and home heating assistance than under the current measure. Taxes would go up by $60 billion over the next decade because annual adjustments to the tax brackets would be smaller, resulting in more people jumping into higher tax brackets because their wages rose faster than the new inflation measure. Annual increases in the standard deduction and personal exemptions would become smaller. Despite fierce opposition from seniors groups, the proposal is gaining momentum in part because it would let policymakers gradually cut benefits and increase taxes in a way that might not be readily apparent to most Americans. But the impact, as well as savings to the government, would grow over time, generating about $200 billion in the first decade and much more after that. The proposal to adopt a new Consumer Price Index was floated by the Obama administration during deficit reduction talks in the summer. Now, it is one of the few options supported by both Democratic and Republican members of a joint supercommittee in Congress working to reduce government borrowing. The committee of six Democrats and six Republicans is struggling to come up with a plan to reduce government red ink by at least $1.2 trillion over the next decade. Changing the inflation index alone would put them a sixth of the way there.

Cops: Pregnant woman had drugs Decision due soon Police say Mary M. Scatena handed over heroin after friend overdosed. By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

KINGSTON – A woman who said she is seven months pregnant told police she used heroin before her friend overdosed outside a pharmacy, according to charges filed. Police allege Mary M. Scatena, 25, of Fairview Drive, Exeter, turned over heroin packets and

Scatena

empty packets, including a syringe from her boot, when Seid Aptiliasimov, 28, of West Pittston, passed out after injecting heroin

on Saturday. Police said they found Aptiliasimov unresponsive outside Walgreens Pharmacy just before 2 p.m. Scatena claimed Aptiliasimov injected heroin after purchasing a bundle, 10 heroin packets, at the Sherman Hills apart-

ment complex in Wilkes-Barre, according to the criminal complaint. Scatena told police they were meeting Aptiliasimov’s mother, Maureen, at the pharmacy because they owed her money and heroin, the complaint says. Scatena was charged with possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, conspiracy with intent to deliver a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance, tampering with evidence, possession of drug paraphernalia and endangering the welfare of children.

She was arraigned by District Judge Fred Pierantoni III in Pittston and remained jailed Monday at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $10,000 bail. Police said they expect to issue a retail theft charge against Maureen Aptiliasimov when she allegedly failed to pay for items at the pharmacy on Saturday. Aptiliasimov was treated by paramedics, police said. A preliminary hearing is scheduled on Wednesday before District Judge Paul Roberts in Kingston.

Dorrance Twp. will hold line on taxes in 2012 A property owner has filed a state complaint over a proposed quarry expansion. By TOM HUNTINGTON Times Leader Correspondent

DORRANCE TWP. – Township supervisors announced Monday that they are prepared to enact a 2012 budget of $548,951 that contains no tax increases and is just marginally larger than the township’s current spending plan. Royce Engler, board chairman, said the budget is now available for public inspection; adoption is

scheduled on Dec. 5. The plan contains a real estate tax rate of .0064 mills. A mill is a $1 tax for every $1,000 of assessed property valuation. The 2011 plan calls for $539,783 in spending. Engler, along with supervisors Ben Ostrowski and Gary Zane, was told by Kevin Casey, Small Mountain Road, that he has filed a complaint and cover letter with the state Department of Environmental Protection over the proposed expansion of the Pennsy Supply quarry near his property. Casey’s action follows an injunction against the supervisors he sub-

mitted to Luzerne County Court on Sept. 30. In another matter involving land usage, Allen Snelson, zoning and planning officer, said a hearing before District Judge Ronald Swank of Mountain Top has been rescheduled on Thursday, Nov. 17 at 9 a.m. over issues concerning the proposed Button Oil Co. propane tank farm near the Blue Ridge Truck Plaza off I-81. Snelson said Button has failed to file an appropriate plan and obtain the required township permits, even though it hasalready,accordingtoaSeptember planning commission report, installed one tank at the site.

Previously, Swank continued a hearing scheduled in October on the matter. In other business, the supervisors: • Acted to advertise for bids for a certified public accountant to perform the 2011audit of township finances in place of elected auditors. • Moved to retain Martin Lee Ryman as a recycling attendant at $8.75 per hour. • Approved Patricia A. Davis, township secretary, as a designated agent to sign emergency management forms on behalf of the township.

an eyesore. “I am embarrassed to accept rides home,” said Semanski, who lives near the property. “There is actually a recliner in front of the property surrounded by cats.” Borough Zoning Officer Joseph Ruscavage said he had been out to the property, but that no citations had yet been issued. Ruscavage said he would further assess the condition of the property in regard to possible code violations. Council Chairman Ronald Alunni assured Semanski council would look into the matter and report its findings at the

next council meeting. In another matter, Kurt Santayana asked that council waive its subdivision requirements for a property on which he has a sales agreement. Santayana said the property he and his wife wish to purchase was a railroad bed and the Luzerne County Redevelopment Authority required that the property be joined to another adjacent piece of land. Ruscavage said that although the subdivision requirements would not be waived, the subdivision process would not unnecessarily burden the Santayanas or result in any delay in their purchase of the property. He said

the subdivision was necessary for the deed to be filed at the Luzerne County Courthouse. In another matter, Ruscavage commended Pagnotti Enterprises for its cooperation in the cleanup of an area near its bank on Slocum Street. “Although the collected debris was not Pagnotti’s fault,” he said, “they were grateful for the opportunity to clean up that area.” The council also indicated it is working on the borough’s budget for 2012 and a work session would be scheduled soon. The next regular meeting of council will be Monday Dec. 5, at 6:30 p.m.

reviewed. Supervisors said that once the Act 537 plan is submitted and approved by DEP, the township will seek all available funds to offset the project cost. But they noted they are limited because, in many cases, increases in grant funding by law will reduce only the amount of the low-interest loan used to pay for the rest of the project, not the residents’ monthly fee. Questions were also raised about the fate of the existing septic systems, which will have to be pumped and filled in once sewers are installed. Residents were also

told they would be able to hire their own contractors. Many of those present questioned how it was determined which homes and streets would be affected by the plan, and were told that it was because the streets were included in the original plan developed after Act 537 was implemented in 1968. Many residents challenged the validity of those studies in light of the fact that more than 40 years have passed. Other concerns were raised about the effects on ground water supplies and the large amount of glacier rock beneath nearly the entire township. Township officials

and engineers said those things will be considered when the actual sewage plan is drafted. The board took no action on the plan and did not set a date for a vote. Chairman Gary Zingaretti said supervisors will consider all the comments and submit them to DEP as part of the process. Supervisors urged residents to contact DEP and their legislators with their concerns.

in homicide case

Whether evidence, statements that left Shabazz dead. Their trial on homicide and a in Abdul Shabazz’s death can slew of other charges is schedbe used in trial to be decided. uled to begin on Dec. 5 By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A Luzerne County judge on Monday said she will soon decide if she will permit prosecutors in a homicide case to use statements and evidence obtained in the case at the trial in December. Judge Tina Polachek Gartley said Monday after hearing testimony in the case of brothers Izel Walter Garrett, 19, and Isiah Jesse Garrett, 22, and their cousin, Tyrek Smith, 25, that she will make a ruling by the end of next week. Polachek Gartley heard testimony from several investigators in the case after Isiah Jesse Garrett’s attorneys, Robert Mozenter and Lisa Lattan, filed court papers recently making the request. The Garretts and Smith are charged in the Dec. 6, 2010, shooting death of Abdul Shabazz, 30, of Hazleton, inside a West Hazleton apartment. Police said Izel Walter Garrett fired the .38-caliber handgun

Smith is represented by attorney Royce Morris of Harrisburg, while Izel Walter Garrett is represented by attorney Brian Corcoran. The motions to suppress filed by Mozenter include statements Isiah Jesse Garrett made to police about Shabazz’s death; three guns found during a search four days after the shooting at the Garretts’ Mechanicsburg home; and a request to suppress his arrest, on grounds that his arrest wasn’t legal. Prosecutors Frank McCabe and Jill Matthews Lada on Monday also gave Polachek Gartley questions they would like to ask potential jurors. Corcoran, who recently was appointed to Izel Walter Garrett’s case, said Monday he had yet to receive his clients’ recorded interview with investigators, and that another attorney, Allyson Kacmarski, would be assisting him. Polachek Gartley said any other requests by attorneys need to be submitted by Nov. 23 in preparation for the trial to begin.

WILKES-BARRE – A city man charged for his role in the knife-point robbery of a former fellow high school student was sentenced Monday to seven to 23 months in county prison. Karim Wajid Twyman Jr., 20, of Eastview Drive, was sentenced on charges of robbery and criminal conspiracy by Luzerne County Senior Judge Kenneth Brown, who also ordered Twyman to serve one year probation and to complete 50 hours of community service. Twyman was charged in November 2010 along with Kyle Robert Shaw, 19, also of Eastview Drive, after Ryan Coffay told police the two robbed him. Coffay told police that he left Coughlin High School in Wilkes-Barre to cash his paycheck at a nearby business. While leaving with $63 in cash Coffay said he saw Twyman and Shaw inside the store. Coffay said the two left the store before him, and approached him as he was walking

near a parking garage on North Washington Street and East Market Street. Shaw told Coffay to empty his pockets, court papers say, and when Coffay would not comply, Shaw showed a knife, putting it to Coffay’s throat. Twyman, Coffay said, told him he should give Shaw the money. Shaw told Coffay if he told anyone about what happened, he would “slit his throat.” Shaw faces two counts of robbery, four counts of criminal conspiracy and one count each of terroristic threats and simple assault in the incident. Shaw was scheduled to appear in county court in August on the charges, but failed to appear. A warrant was issued for his arrest. Twyman was ordered Monday to pay $63 in restitution to Coffay and received 10 days credit for time already served. Twyman was represented by attorney Allyson Kacmarski. Assistant District Attorney Mamie Phillips prosecuted the case.

iss Mary P. Kalafut, 97, a lifelong resident of Vine Street, Plymouth, passed into Eternal Life Saturday night in the Laurels at Kingston, where she recently resided. Born December 8, 1913, in Plymouth, she was a daughter of the late Stephen and Elizabeth (Spisak) Kalafut. She was educated in Saint Stephen’s School, Plymouth. Miss Kalafut was a devout Catholic who served her parish for many years as sacristan at the former Saint Stephen’s Roman Catholic Church, Wadham Street, Plymouth. A daily Communicant, she would prepare the altar linens, clean and decorate the sanctuary and help prepare the church for weekly and holy day devotions. She also held membership in the former Parish Choir, Altar and Rosary Society and the Ladies Club. She served under several pastors over the years, and would walk each day across town both to and from her duties and activities at church. Her daily walks garnered her as being a well-known Plymouth figure, meeting and greeting many on her route. Later in life, and as the eldest parishioner, she recently was given the distinct honor of symbolically “locking” the parish doors one final time by former pastor, the Very Reverend Donald J. Williams, V.F., as the church was consolidated into the present All Saints Parish Community of Plymouth. She is also remembered by family and friends as being an accomplished seamstress who shared her talents with those she knew. She was preceded in death by brothers, Stephen Kalafut, Michael Kalafut, infant brother Edward Kalafut, and most recently, John P. Kalafut, and by sisters Elizabeth Harry, Helen Batory, Margaret Janosik and Ann Marie Kalafut. Surviving are her sister Mrs. Cecilia I. Morris, North Wilkes-Barre,

Ariz., and specialized as an emergency room nurse at Pima County Hospital, Tucson, where she worked for more than a decade.

CARRIE ANN BOOTH

Beatrice G. Barbuti-Babkowski, 82, of Avoca, passed away Monday, November 7, 2011, at her home after a long illness. She was born in Scranton and raised as a child in Tripp’s Mansion, Scranton, then in Greenridge, Scranton. She was the daughter of the late Theresa Weist and Edward Barbuti. Beatrice was an active member of Queen of the Apostles Church, Avoca (the former Ss. Peter & Paul Church), where she taught CCD and was co-coordinator of the CCD program for many years, known affectionately by the children in the classes as “Mrs. B.” She was also active with the Altar and Rosary Society, church picnics and dinners, and formed the first Youth Group of the church. Beatrice lived for her family and church, and enjoyed keeping a nice home while working as a self-employed beautician. She loved the water and spent her spare time in her pool, where she taught her grandchildren and some of the neighbor’s children how to swim. In addition to her parents, Beatrice was preceded in death by her husband, Joseph F. Babkowski, who passed away in 1999; they would have celebrated their 60th anniversary on July 8. Her only

brother, Robert Barbuti, and stepsister, Marie Lavelle, both of Scranton, also preceded her in death. She is survived by her sons, John, James and Joseph and his wife, Patricia, all of Avoca. She had six grandchildren, Joseph, James, Jennifer, Abigail and Jan Babkowski, and Shannon Tramontana; two greatgrandchildren, Landon and Paige Wheeler; and several nieces and nephews. Funeral services will be held Thursday, November 10, at 9 a.m. from Kiesinger Funeral Services Inc., 255 McAlpine St., Duryea, with Mass of Christian Burial at 9:30 a.m. at Queen of the Apostles Church, 715 Hawthorne St., Avoca, with Father Phillip Sladicka officiating. Friends may call Wednesday, November 9, from 5 to 8 p.m. Interment will be held at Ss. Peter & Paul Cemetery, Avoca.

home in Queen Creek, Ariz., surrounded by her immediate family, after a sudden but courageous battle with cancer. Mrs. Fine (Kathie) was born on February 17, 1948, to Kitty Heisner in Drums, Pa. Kathie married Joseph Fine on March 14, 1972, and together they reared two children in Plymouth. She was a graduate of Luzerne County Community College. Upon retirement from John Heinz (Allied Services) in Wilkes-Barre, Kathie moved to Arizona with her husband in 2009. Kathie is survived and will forever be remembered by her mother, Kitty Heisner, of Drums; her brothers William and Jim Heisner, both of Drums, and her brother Gene Heisner; her husband, Joseph Fine, and daughters, Joanna Sansoni and Michele Clark, and five grandchildren, Madison Clark, Robert Joseph Clark, Ethan Sansoni, Sarah Sansoni and Bethany Sansoni.

be called until a significant percentage of these outlying votes are tallied. Voters should not be troubled by campaign workers at any of the county’s 189 polling places because signs will be posted reminding candidates and their workers that state election law prohibits campaigning within 10 feet of polls, Piazza said. The posting stems from past repeated complaints from voters about politicking too close to the polls, he said. “Hopefully additional signage at the polls will relieve some of that pressure the voters face,” Piazza said. “People can electioneer at the polls, but they have to maintain that distance back.” Roving election workers will be dispatched to respond to problems, he said. Write-in votes will be counted on Friday, starting at 9 a.m., he said. A county Election Board meeting has been scheduled at 3:30 p.m. Nov. 15 to certify the election results, though the meeting may be delayed a week if there are recount requests in any statewide races, he said.

she said on her way out of the courthouse. Murray sat stone-faced during the verdict and was handcuffed and taken into custody without bail until sentencing on Nov. 29. He appeared calm as officials led him out of the courtroom. “Dr. Murray’s reckless conduct in this case poses a demonstrable risk to the safety of the public” if he remains free on bond, Judge Michael E. Pastor said. District Attorney Steve Cooley said it will be difficult to achieve an appropriate sentence for Murray because of a new state prison alignment law that allows early release for people convicted of nonviolent felonies. He said his office gave the case the same attention it would give a lower-profile case, but conceded that because of the identity of the victim, “obviously this takes on a viral dimension.” Deputy District Attorney David Walgren said the sympathies of prosecutors went out to the Jackson family who have

households benefited last winter. “I can’t see where we would be doing anything less than last year,” Warabak said, referring to the number of local residents seeking LIHEAP funds. “There are a lot of people out there right now due to the economy who are really in need. There’s unfortunately going to be less money to go around.” In his proposed 2012 budget released in February, President Obama called for spending $2.57 billion nationwide on LIHEAP for the fiscal year that began Oct. 1, down from $4.7 billion. The White House acknowledged in February in budget documents that cutting LIHEAP was part of a “period of tough budget choices.” Part of the administration’s budget rationale in February was based on anticipated lower heating costs this winter, but so far

With18 elections under his belt, Piazza said he’s confident the county’s $3.5 million worth of election equipment is in order. He and his staff spent hours Monday retesting equipment. “It looks good. Everything’s in place for (today),” Piazza said. Today’s election will be “bittersweet” for Piazza because the county will be switching to a new home rule government in January, and that will mean a change in

the board he works with. All current and past members of the county’s three-person election board – both commissioners and citizen appointees – have “contributed something specific” to election procedures, he said. The election board is currently filled by the three county commissioners, though court-appointed substitutes serve when commissioners are running for public office. The new government replac-

es the three commissioners with an 11-member, part-time council and full-time appointed manager. Under home rule, the election board will be renamed the Board of Elections and Registration and consist of five registered voters. The county council will appoint four of the five election board members -- two Republicans and two Democrats. Those four members then pick the fifth board member by majority vote.

that isn’t proving to be the case, with higher fuel costs expected. Under Obama’s plan, Pennsylvania would receive about $133 million, down from about $294 million last winter, including $14 million in emergency funding, according to figures compiled by the National Energy Assistance Directors’ Association. So far the Senate has backed spending $3.6 billion on the program while the House has supported $3.4 billion. The Senate bill also contains a funding formula that is more generous to cold-weather states. Under the Senate bill, Pennsylvania would get about $230 million, compared to an allocation of about $195 million under the House bill. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Scranton, is among a bipartisan group of lawmakers that has advocated spending more on LIHEAP overall. Casey also urged the Obama administration to release LIHEAP funding ahead of a final House-Senate spending measure while a 2012 stop-gap spending

ing cost expenses this winter.” But the amount of that release was $1.7 billion, which would provide Pennsylvania with just $113 million, leaving it up to Congress to decide how much more to approve. U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta of Hazleton, a conservative Republican who often advocates cutting federal spending, says home heating assistance is not an area that should be cut this year. He has signed on to a bipartisan letter, along with 87 other House members, to congressional leaders asking them to support providing LIHEAP with at least the same $4.7 billion it received last year. “We’re barely into November, and we’ve already had unseasonably cold temperatures and a heavy snowfall,” Barletta said in a release on Sunday. Rep. Tom Marino, R-Lycoming Township, is satisfied with the House’s recommended $3.4 billion for LIHEAP, noting that still is more than $800 million more

The federal Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, or LIHEAP, helps more than a half million Pennsylvanians pay their winter heating bills, but President Obama and Congress have targeted the program for cuts. • Pennsylvania’s share last winter: $294 million. • President Obama’s 2012 budget for Pa.: $133 million • Senate 2012 spending bill: $230 million • House 2012 spending: $195 million • Initial Obama administration release: $113 million Sources: National Energy Assistance Directors’ Association; U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

than sought originally by Obama, a Marino spokeswoman said. CEO’s Warabak said plans already are in place to cut the level of benefits this winter. Instead of a maximum grant of $400 per household for the heating season, the maximum grant for this winter has been set at $300 under a state plan based on Obama’s original budget proposal. “There’s going to be a lot less money to go around, absolutely,” Warabak said. CEO will begin processing emergency heating applications in January. Until then people wishing to apply for LIHEAP benefits should go to their local county Department of Public Welfare office.

“lost not a pop icon but a son and a father.” Jurors were escorted from the building and not available for comment after the verdict was read. It was unclear whether the jury determined that Murray had administered the fatal dose of propofol while deciding he was responsible for the death of Jackson. Prosecutors had said Murray violated at least 17 separate standards of care, a number of which could have resulted in death. A shriek broke the eerie silence in the packed courtroom when the verdict was read, and the crowd erupted outside the courthouse. Jubilant Jackson fans cheered and sang “Beat It” as they held signs that read “guilty” and “killer.” Passing motorists honked their horns. The jury deliberated less than nine hours. The Houston cardiologist, 58, faces a sentence of up to four years in prison. He could also lose his medical license. Murray’s attorneys left the courtroom without commenting. In Las Vegas, a former Murray patient and current friend, Donna DiGiacomo, sobbed and said she thought the jury was under “overwhelming pressure to convict.” “This man didn’t deserve this. They needed a scapegoat,” said DiGiacomo, 53, a former Long Island, N.Y., teacher’s aide who said she didn’t believe Murray did anything to intentionally harm Jackson. Jackson died on June 25, 2009, and details of his final days dribbled out over several months. The complete story, however, finally emerged during the sixweek trial. It was the tale of a tormented genius on the brink of what might have been his greatest triumph with one impediment standing in his way — extreme insomnia. Testimony came from medical experts, household employees and Murray’s former girlfriends, among others. The most shocking moments, however, came when prosecutors displayed a large picture of Jackson’s gaunt, lifeless body on a hospital gurney and played the sound of his drugged, slurred voice, as recorded by Murray just weeks before the singer’s death.

OUR OPINION: ELECTION DAY

TL supports these candidates

ODAY, LUZERNE COUNTY’S voters will encounter a ballot bulging with the names of office-seekers, including a whopping 28 people vying to be part of the first county council. An endorsement board from The Times Leader met with candidates in four key races, including the highly anticipated Luzerne County Council contest. We posed pointed questions and probed for details – not unlike a job interview. (View the full interviews at www.timesleader.com.) In our board’s opinion, the following men and women are the most qualified to handle the complex duties ahead and would best serve their constituents. We took the task of analyzing the field very seriously. We hope you do too. ••• ❏ LUZERNE COUNTY COUNCIL James Bobeck Elaine Maddon Curry Harry Haas Eugene Kelleher Michael Lacey Tim McGinley Rick Morelli Jeremy Packard Stephen A.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “This is a case about a sexual predator who used his position within the university and community to repeatedly prey on young boys.” Linda Kelly Pennsylvania’s attorney general announced that sexual assault charges had been filed against Jerry Sandusky, the Penn State University football team’s former defensive coordinator and man once considered coach Joe Paterno’s heir apparent. Sandusky is alleged to have assaulted eight boys over a 15-year period.

OTHER OPINION: DEBIT CARD FEE

FARMERS ACROSS the commonwealth and other Pennsylvanians have been sending a clear message to members of the state General Assembly: “Don’t expand Sunday hunting.” Most farmers feel strongly about it, because we want a day of peace and quiet on Sunday, when we may work less and enjoy more time with our families and friends around the farm. Posting “No Sunday Hunting” on our lands won’t prevent the intrusions. Hunters frequently wander from one property onto another, and while responsible hunters respect private property, landowners know that trespass and poor enforcement are serious problems that would become even worse. Farmers also hunt, and they provide sportsmen access to vast amounts of land. While we feed the wildlife, hunters help us to control the devastation of crops and the loss of farm income. It has been a good balance of mutual interests. It’s also noteworthy that many hunters do not want the law changed for a variety of reasons. But this is not only about farmers and hunters. More than 12 million other Pennsylvanians, including those living in cities and the suburbs, should be involved with the discussion and decision. Many people take to the outdoors of the commonwealth to hike, bike, ride horses or just for a family outing. Right now, they aren’t startled or

MAIL BAG

E MIGHT never know exactly how many customers Bank of America lost, but its plan to charge a $5 monthly fee for debit-card use spurred deserved outrage and prompted a number of people to move accounts elsewhere. After triggering complaints from President Obama, protesters in the streets and once-loyal customers, Bank of America snapped to its senses one week ago and revoked the nettlesome fee. This was not corporate dogooderism. The bank’s action came late, only after it was

pressured into abandoning the fee. Still, the bank belatedly responded to consumer sentiment. Two major competitors, Wells Fargo and JPMorgan Chase, abandoned similar charges earlier. The anger that followed the decision to level a fee flowed from many sources. Debit cards are modern-day checks. It’s hard to believe banks expect customers to return to more cumbersome check writing, which surely requires more processing time.

‘Natural’ explanation for flood prevention

Bank of America sensibly relents R

COMMENTARY

ev. Joseph Bertha, of St. Michael’s Byzantine Catholic Church in Pittston, believes that prayer had something to do with preventing some flooding, according to The Times Leader article titled “Prayers of thanks” (Oct. 24). Rather than assuming that any supernatural intervention occurred, the ebbing flood waters can be accounted for in purely naturalistic terms. Waters reach a certain point and eventually recede; in addition, the levee system prevented some of the flooding. Why should a supernaturalistic explanation be accepted when a perfectly reasonable naturalistic explanation is available? Theodore Schick, in an article titled “Can God explain anything,” published in the summer 2003 issue of “Think,” refers to the popular skeptical heuristic called Occam’s Razor. Schick writes: “Other things being equal, the simpler a hypothesis is – the fewer assumptions it makes – the better it is. If phenomena can be explained without making certain assumptions, there’s no reason to make them … (Y)ou shouldn’t assume the existence of

anything that’s not needed to explain the phenomena.” Another criterion proposed by Schick is scope – “the amount of diverse phenomena explained by a theory.” Schick explains that when comparing two theories, the better theory is the one that has greater explanatory power. Schick writes: “The attempt to explain natural phenomena by appealing to supernatural entities (gods), I believe, is no better than (an) attempt to explain (a) bridge collapse by appealing to gremlins. In both cases one is trying to explain the unknown in terms of the incomprehensible, and that can never increase our understanding.” Justin Vacula Co-organizer, NEPA Freethought Society Exeter

Hudacek wondered why it took so long – nearly 10 years – for the charges of sexually abusing children to be filed against Sandusky. “It seems to me something should have been done much earlier than this,” Hudacek said. “It’s not like Penn State to delay something as serious as this.” Hudacek knows Tim Curley, the Penn State athletic director who is facing charges of failure to report the alleged abuse and of perjury in their testimony before a grand jury. “I like Tim Curley; he really is a nice guy,” Hudacek said. “I hope both he and (Senior Vice President Gary) Schultz are exonerated.” What effect, if any, will this have on head coach Joe Paterno? “I think it has to have an impact on Joe,” Hudacek said. “I believe it’s going to be extremely upsetting to him for a long time.” Hudacek said he believes Paterno did the right thing in reporting the allegations to Curley – his immediate boss. “I don’t know what more he could have done,” he said. “When the accusation was made, Joe had to be careful of what he did or said. He could have been sued.” Hudacek thinks this scandal could seal Paterno’s departure – a decision he feels the 84-year-old coach may already have made before the Sandusky story broke. “I believe this will accelerate Joe’s process to go out,” Hudacek said. “He has a lot of aches and pains; he has to think about his family.” Hudacek, who said he was made an honorary Penn State alumnus, said his support for the university hasn’t weakened. “My wife, Sylvia, and I will always be Penn State proud.” Harry Hamilton, a graduate of Greater Nanticoke Area High School, was a two-year Academic All American at Penn State. He played safety and Sandusky was his position coach. “First of all, I want to express my concern for the victims in this

case,” Hamilton said. “I have always had a special place for children throughout my life.” As far as the indictments of Schultz and Curley, Hamilton said he can “only hope” that the prosecutors and investigators have acted appropriately in bringing the case forward. Hamilton, an attorney, said he worked closely with Sandusky during the early days of Second Mile, a foundation Sandusky established to help at-risk kids. The charges against him cover the period from 1994 to 2009. “One of my first summer jobs was with the program,” Hamilton said. Hamilton declined to speculate on the effects the investigation might have on Penn State. “I am guarded with regard to making any rush to judgment,” he said. Jim Brozena, executive director of the Luzerne County Flood Protection Authority, is a Penn State grad, as is his wife, Jackie. “It’s a sad state of affairs no matter how you cut it,” he said. “The people who have involvement should pay the consequences for their actions.” Brozena said Paterno may decide to retire at season’s end, but he doesn’t think the Sandusky case will affect his decision. “Joe will leave when he’s ready to leave,” Brozena said. Tom Pugh, retired vice president of Allied Services, is a 1964 Penn State grad; his four children also graduated from PSU main campus. Pugh said he was shocked to hear of the Sandusky arrest. “This has nothing to do with Paterno; he did the right thing by reporting what he knew,” Pugh said. “This is not a slap at the university; a few people used very bad judgment.” Pugh doesn’t believe Paterno will allow outside circumstances to dictate his decision to stay or leave his coaching position. An Associated Press story said that according to a grand jury, Sandusky, 67, was a serial predator who used Second Mile to find and coerce boys, including one 8 years old, into various sex acts. Sandusky, arrested Saturday, faces 40 counts of sexually abusing minors.

had a moral responsibility to do more. On the Happy Valley campus and in the surrounding town of State College, some were even asking whether the 84-year-old coach should step down after 46 years on the sidelines. Two Penn State officials, Senior Vice President Gary Schultz and Athletic Director Tim Curley, surrendered on charges that they failed to alert police to the complaint about Sandusky, Paterno’s former defensive coordinator and one-time heir apparent. Schultz and Curley are also charged with lying to the state grand jury that indicted Sandusky on charges of sexually abusing eight boys over 15 years. Both stepped down from their posts Sunday, Curley taking a temporary leave and Schultz retiring. They appeared Monday in a Harrisburg courtroom, where a judge set bail at $75,000. They weren’t required to enter pleas. State Attorney General Linda Kelly said Paterno is not a target of the investigation into how the school handled the accusations. But she refused to say the same for the university president, Graham Spanier. “All I can say is again, I’m limited to what’s contained in the presentment, and that this is an ongoing investigation,” Kelly said. State police Commissioner Frank Noonan said that although Paterno may have met his legal requirement to report suspected abuse by Sandusky, “somebody has to question about what I would consider the moral requirements for a human being that knows of sexual things that are taking place with a child.” He added: “I think you have the moral responsibility, anyone. Not whether you’re a football coach or a university president or the guy sweeping the building. I think you have a moral responsibility to call us.” At a news conference, Noonan and Kelly were peppered with

Jerry Sandusky has been charged with sexually abusing eight boys over 15 years.

State Attorney General Linda Kelly said coach Joe Paterno is not a target of investigation.

questions about whether Paterno was given details about what graduate assistant Mike McQueary — now the team’s wide receivers coach — saw on the night of March 1, 2002. The grand jury report said McQueary was in the locker room that night to put away some new sneakers when he heard noises and looked into the showers. He reportedly saw a naked boy, about 10 years old, being assaulted by Sandusky. McQueary left immediately and first contacted his father before calling Paterno the next morning and then meeting at Paterno’s home. Exactly what was said during that meeting is unclear from the grand jury record, which states that Paterno called Curley the next day to tell him McQueary had seen Sandusky “in the Lasch Building showers fondling or doing something of a sexual nature to a young boy.” Paterno released a statement Sunday in which he said he was not told “the very specific actions” contained in the grand jury report, but that McQueary had seen “something inappropriate involving Mr. Sandusky.” Paterno has not spoken publicly about the matter. The indictment also cited a 1998 incident in which an 11-yearold boy’s mother called university police to complain after learning that her son had showered with Sandusky. A state Department of Public Welfare investigator told

the grand jury that Sandusky said he showered naked with the youth and hugged him, “admitted that it was wrong,” and promised not to shower with any child again. Kelly would not say whether Paterno or the university president knew of that investigation. “All I can say is that investigation was handled by Penn State University’s police department,” Kelly said. Penn State police said they were not releasing any information about the 1998 investigation. Sandusky retired in 1999 after learning that he would not be Paterno’s successor as head coach. Kelly and Noonan encouraged anyone who would accuse Sandusky of sexual assault to step forward and talk to police, with Kelly specifically asking that the child reportedly assaulted by Sandusky on March 1, 2002, call detectives. Paterno has long had an image as a leader who does things by the book and runs a program that has seen far fewer major scandals than other major college football teams. Doubts about his judgment in handling the Sandusky matter began to emerge quickly. Facebook users, including those on a newly created group called “Joe Paterno should resign,” expressed outrage and disappointment in Paterno. Many said he should have gone to police after the 2002 incident. Advocates for priest-abuse victims saw parallels in how the uni-

www.timesleader.com

versity and the Roman Catholic Church handled similar problems. “Here we are again,” said John Salveson, former president of the Pennsylvania chapter of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests. “When an institution discovers abuse of a kid ... their first reaction was to protect the reputation of the institution and the perpetrator.” “They didn’t even try to find out the identity of the kid that was being raped in the shower,” he said. “Their solution to this was to not let Sandusky into the shower anymore. It’s just stunning to me that no one called the police.” Sandusky was described by Keith “Kip” Richeal, co-author of his autobiography “Touched: The Jerry Sandusky Story,” as a loving father of six adopted children “I hope to God it’s not true because I admire the man very much,” Richeal said. “All I saw was Jerry was kind to kids of all ages, including the students he dealt with.” Sandusky has maintained his innocence, his lawyer said Saturday. At Sandusky’s house about five minutes from campus, a State College police car was parked in the driveway for a time Monday. An officer said police had been asked to keep people off the property. Schultz, 62, and Curley, 57, are innocent and will seek to have the charges dismissed, their lawyers said. Curley’s lawyer, Caroline Roberto, called the case weak, while Schultz’s lawyer, Tom Farrell, said the men did what they were supposed to do by informing their superiors of the accusations. Sandusky continued to use the school’s facilities after retirement for his work with The Second Mile, a foundation he established in 1977 to help at-risk kids. The charges against him cover the period from 1994 to 2009. The allegations against Sandusky range from sexual advances to touching to oral and anal sex. The young men testified before the state grand jury that they were in their early teens when some of the abuse occurred; there is evidence even younger children may have been victimized.

After some rough patches this season, the Blue Knights are clicking at the right time. By JOHN MEDEIROS jmedeiros@timesleader.com

It’s easy to look at Wyoming Seminary and say the Blue Knights have been here before. After all, the last three times Seminary qualified for the PIAA Class 2A field hockey tournament, it won a state championship. Unlike after the title seasons of 2006 and 2008, the 2010 champions are back to defend their title. Well, most of them are. “We’re used to it,” Wyoming Seminary hall of fame coach Karen Klassner said. “We do know that we lost a lot of good leaders. But us and Crestwood, we’re used to having the bull’seyes on our backs.” The Blue Knights saw a number of key seniors graduate after last season, including all-staters Jessica Swoboda See SEMINARY, Page 3B

The Royals (18-0) romped to the District 2 championship last week with convincing victories over Berwick, Crestwood and previously unbeaten Dunmore. “We’re playing our best volleyball of the season,” said Holy Redeemer coach Jack Kablick, whose team is making its sixth straight appearance in the state tournament, including a berth in See ROYALS, Page 4B

Old ’Boys help Bears defeat Eagles

By PAUL SOKOLOSKI psokoloski@timesleader.com

PHILADELPHIA - Since the Dallas Cowboys didn’t show up for a prime time game in Philadelphia, a couple of their former teammates did. And this time, the Eagles were the ones left digging out of a hole. Sam Hurd recovered a fumbled punt near the end of the first half and Marion Barber spun across the goal line moments later, as the Cowboys-turnedBears helped lift Chicago to a 30-24 victory over the Eagles on Monday night at Lincoln Financial Field. That was the scene of a glorious Philadelphia victory last weekend, when the Eagles crushed the Cowboys 34-7 in a Sunday night game. Maybe Dallas should have hung onto

drive late in the fourth quarter. And Barber added 22 rushing yards to get that field goal march started, and caught a couple of short receptions during Chicago’s go-ahead fourth-quarter touchdown drive. Bears quarterback Jay Cutler carved up the Eagles, firing 5-yard touchdown passes to tight end Matt Spaeth to start the game and then to receiver Earl Bennett to put the Bears in front for good, 27-24, with 12:18 to play. Near the end of the second quarter, Barber spun out of the grasp of Eagles defensive end Trent Cole and into the end zone with 43 seconds remaining in the first half, giving an advantage back to the Bears after it slipped away late in

some of those guys who rode off to Chicago, then helped drop the Eagles to 3-5 and into a last-place tie with Washington in the NFC East. Wide receiver Roy Williams, another former Cowboy, caught a key 18-yard pass to set up a field goal that pulled the Bears within 24-20 at the end of the third quarter, then caught two clutch passes on a game-sealing field goal See EAGLES, Page 3B

Running a path of victory and leadership skills

wo straight runs by Darrell Crawford didn’t accumulate much more than seven yards, so the quarterback of the GAR Grenadiers turned around on the next play and gave the ball to Dwayne Wright. He took it 72 yards for a touchdown. You know why Wright can take it to the house on a short-yardage play in the middle of a rival game? Because other teams are so worried Crawford will get there first. “Everything,” GAR coach Paul Wiedlich said, “runs through our quarterback.” That goes for the defensive end, too, where Crawford makes all the calls from his safety position that set the coverages in the secondary. “That’s the quarterback of our defense,” Wiedlich said. Really, there isn’t much defense against Crawford, no matter where he lines up on the field. The spectacular senior has scored 24 rushing touchdowns this season, passed for nine more, and produced seven other scores with kick returns and interception returns. “I can always accomplish more,” Crawford said. How much more can he do? On Halloween weekend, Crawford scared the daylights out of the Nanticoke Area Trojans. They seemed like they were chasing a ghost while Crawford was scoring two touchdowns on punt returns of 68 and 69 yards, two more on running plays and firing a 37-yard scoring strike to receiver Shaliek Powell. All in the first half of a 68-0 victory. “At the end of the day, all that really matters is who wins and who loses,” Crawford said. It matters most to Crawford. He has a way of making sure GAR always winds up with a victory, even in the very few games where Crawford is not the star of the show. The 9-1 Grenadiers are unbeaten with Crawford on the field, losing the only game he didn’t play this season. That wasn’t the fault of his backup Corey Moore, who threw for 308 yards and four touchdowns in a 34-31 loss to Lakeland. But maybe if Crawford was healthy enough to play that day, he changes the whole day. “You’re losing a ton of leadership,” Wiedlich said. “You’re losing experience.” Crawford doesn’t always provide fans with the same surreal experience Raghib “Rocket” Ismail once did when he was speeding his way through Meyers High School in the late 1980s. The GAR star mustered only 70 rushing yards and 72 passing yards against Meyers on Friday. “We just wanted to get out of here with a win,” Crawford said after still scoring one touchdown and passing for another in a 38-6 victory. His patience and poise behind center was every bit as impressive as a five-touchdown half. “That’s a true testament to his character,” Wiedlich said afterwards. “Tonight wasn’t one of his better nights, offensively-speaking. But he took a step back, calmed down. And the kids kind of feed off him.” The Grenadiers followed Crawford’s example all the way to the District 2 Class 2A playoffs this weekend. It’s when guys like Crawford can change the outcome in an instant, from the moment he steps on the field. Paul Sokoloski is a Times Leader sports columnist.

It’s time to take a stand: Joe has to go Two top Penn State administrators are gone, out the door so quickly they didn’t even last the first weekend of a scandal far more distressing than any in a sport plagued with scandals. Athletic director Tim Curley and university vice president Gary Schultz have more to worry about than their jobs. They turned themselves in Monday and face possible prison time for lying to a grand jury and for not reporting to proper authorities the allegations of sexual misconduct by former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky. My guess is that university president Graham Spanier — who was not charged — will be the next to go. He did himself no favors by immediately leaping to the defense of his two accused subordinates in the sordid case, though he may have thought he had little choice. This is a guy, after all, who

suppose, is to want to give the benefit of the doubt to someone who has spent 46 seasons coaching the same team, with TIM DAHLBERG hardly a whiff of wrongdoing surrounding the program. testified before the grand jury Besides, my guess is that with that all he knew in 2002 was the coach growing increasingly that it was “Jerry Sandusky in the football building locker area frail and a new administration arriving in the wake of the scanin the shower with a younger dal, this could be Paterno’s last child and they were horsing season no matter what happens. around in the shower.” There comes a time, though, That’s all.

season. Not after the big bowl game the No. 12 Nittany Lions will almost certainly play in. Paterno needs to step down now. There is no other option. He was Sandusky’s boss for 32 years, including a portion of the period from 1994 on that Sandusky was charged with sexually assaulting eight different boys. He had complete control of the football program at Penn State, and the crimes that are alleged occurred on his watch. Paterno will have to answer for how that happened, and here’s hoping that he does better with that than he did Sunday night when he issued a statement that basically said no one could have known what was happening — when in fact he and the people around him were told years ago that terrible things were happening. “The fact that someone we thought we knew might have harmed young people to this extent is deeply troubling,” Paterno said. “If this is true we were all fooled, along with scores of professionals trained in such things, and we grieve for

Stern: ‘Rational thing’ for union is to take deal By BRIAN MAHONEY AP Basketball Writer

NEW YORK — NBA players are facing a Wednesday afternoon deadline to accept the league’s current proposal or face a harsher one that calls for rolling back their salaries, and Commissioner David Stern said Monday “the only rational thing to do is for us to make that deal.” “We think that there’s a great offer on the table and what we told the players is it’s getting late, the only rational thing to do is for us to make that deal because given what’s going on in our business and our industry, it’ll get worse from there,” Stern said during an interview on ESPN. That proposal calls for players to receive anywhere between 49 and 51 percent of basketball-related income, though players argue it would be nearly impossible for them to get anywhere above 50.2. Stern said the next one will call for a 53-47 split in the owners’ favor, along with essentially a hard salary cap. The second proposal also calls for “existing contracts

the second quarter. That scoring run came just after Eagles wide receiver/return man DeSean Jackson flubbed a punt and Hurd - a special teams ace with Dallas the last few years - pounced on it. Williams also caught a 14yard pass on Chicago’s second drive of the game as the Bears dominated the first half. Chicago found its rhythm early, as Matt Forte got loose for runs of 25 and 14 yards on a game-opening 79-yard scoring march capped when Cutler found Spaeth in the end zone with the game’s first score. The Bears added to that when Cutler connected with Bennett for 26 yards, setting up Robbie Gould’s 51-yard field goal early in the second quarter. The Eagles matched it, when Alex Henery kicked a 47-yard field goal and, three plays later, Eagles linebacker Brian Rolle stripped away a fumble, recovered it and roared scampered 22 yards for a touchdown that tied the game just 1:38 before halftime. Barber’s burst gave the Bears a touchdown lead at halftime, but in the second half, the Eagles bounced right back. They leaned on Vick, who completed six passes for 60 yards while leading an 80-yard march that didn’t end until Ron-

rolled back in proportion to system changes in order to ensure sufficient market for free agents,” a person who has been briefed on its contents told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the contents were supposed to remain private. The rollbacks were previously reported by CBSSports.com and The New York Times, which obtained a copy of the letter Stern sent to union executive director Billy Hunter on Sunday along with both documents. The league had sought to roll back existing contracts to conform to a new collective bargaining agreement during an earlier proposal, but had since taken it off the table. Stern set the deadline early Sunday morning after owners and players met for more than eight hours with federal mediator George Cohen. Owners have been insistent on not going beyond a 50-50 split of revenues, though some would prefer the league had already demanded the 53-47 split. nie Brown sprinted straight up the middle on a four-yard touchdown run to open the third quarter. The Eagles didn’t stop there. After another fumble recovery, LeSean McCoy darted 33 yards for a touchdown, giving the Eagles their only lead, 2417. The Bears cut into that with Gould’s second of three field goals, a 38-yarder with 21 seconds left in the third quarter that pulled Chicago within four points. Cutler’s touchdown toss to a wide open Bennett boosted the Bears into a 27-24 lead, and Gould’s 22-yard field goal with 3:58 remaining on the clock sealed Philadelphia’s fate with 3:58 on the clock. That final scoring march came after a curious call by the Eagles, who tried to pull a fake punt from Chicago’s 42-yard line. Punter Chas Henry had the right play and had a man open in Colt Anderson on the pass play, but didn’t have enough arm to get him the ball. That wasn’t the last time the Eagles were left short. The Eagles moved into Chicago territory on their final possession, but it ended when receiver Jeremy Maclin fell down after catching Vick’s eight-yard pass on fourth down. He came up a yard short of extending the march, along with Philadelphia’s comeback hopes.

the victims and their families.” The really troubling thing is that there likely are even more victims because of what Paterno and others didn’t do in 2002. That includes the graduate assistant himself, identified as Mike McQueary, now the team’s wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator. They didn’t call police. They didn’t notify child abuse authorities. They didn’t try to find out the identity of the young boy. And they didn’t stop Sandusky from doing anything, other than making it more difficult for him to bring other young boys to the football complex. Paterno is used to giving lectures, not getting them. But let’s hope he was listening today when Pennsylvania state police commissioner Frank Noonan said that fulfilling his legal requirement to report the 2002 incident to his supervisors wasn’t nearly enough. “Somebody has to question about what I would consider the moral requirements for a human being that knows of sexual things that are taking place with a child,” Noonan said. “I think

you have the moral responsibility, anyone. Not whether you’re a football coach or a university president or the guy sweeping the building. I think you have a moral responsibility to call us.” For reasons known only to him, Paterno failed that responsibility. A coach who took pride in disciplining his players for even the smallest violations to maintain a clean program for some inexplicable reason didn’t follow through on something far more important than a win or loss on the football field. Unfortunately, you can’t lead a program with the slogan “Success with Honor” when the honor has been stripped away. There is no way to recover from this mess, even if it wasn’t largely of his own making. It’s a terribly sad way to end a great career. Not to mention a very sad day in Happy Valley.

Muhammad Ali crouches on the canvas as Joe Frazier circles in the background after Ali slipped during the 11th round of their title fight at Madison Square Garden in New York in March 1971.

Family: Frazier dies after fight with cancer The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Joe Frazier, the former heavyweight champion who handed Muhammad Ali his first defeat yet had to live forever in his shadow, died Monday night after a brief final fight with liver cancer. He was 67. The family issued a release confirming the boxer’s death. Frazier, who took on Ali in three momentous fights in the 1970s — including the epic “Thrilla in Manilla” — had been under home hospice care after being diagnosed just weeks ago with the cancer that took his life, a family friend said. Until then, Frazier had been doing regular autograph appearances, including one in Las Vegas in September. Smokin’ Joe was a small yet ferocious fighter who smothered his opponents with punches, including a devastating left hook he used to end many of his fights early. It was the left hook that dropped Ali in the 15th round at Madison Square Garden in 1971 to seal a win in the so-called “Fight of the Century.” Though he beat Ali in that fight, Frazier lost the final two and for many years was bitter about the role Ali forced him to play as his foil.

Frazier was diagnosed last month with the disease, his personal and business manager said. Leslie Wolff, who has been Frazier’s manager for seven years, said the boxer had been in out and out of the hospital since early October and receiving hospice treatment the last week. Frazier was the first man to beat Ali, knocking him down and taking a decision in the so-called Fight of the Century in 1971. He would go on to lose two more fights to Ali, including the epic “Thrilla in Manila” bout. Frazier was bitter for many years about the way Ali treated him then. More recently, he said he had forgiven Ali for repeatedly taunting him. While the “Fight of the Century” is celebrated in boxing lore, Ali and Frazier put on an even better show in their third fight, held in a sweltering arena in Manila as part of Ali’s world tour of fights in 1975. Nearly blinded by Ali’s punches, Frazier still wanted to go out for the 15th round of the fight but was held back by trainer Eddie Futch in a bout Ali would later say was the closest thing to death he could imagine.

and Lauren Skudalski. That’s not unusual for any team to lose seniors, and it’s not unusual for Seminary to graduate all-staters. But this season’s young group has come together after some rough patches. “It was different because last year we were underdogs,” allstate senior AshLeigh Sebia said. “We’ve been working hard and getting better (this season). It only took 20 games. Twenty’s obviously a charm for us.” The Blue Knights hit a skid in October, going 2-5-1 in a 22-day stretch. The wins during the spell were drubbings of Abington Heights and Nanticoke. The losses were to powers – including Eastern (N.J.) and Sacred Heart (Ky.), as well as state tourney teams Wyoming Valley West and Crestwood – so Seminary appeared to be a contender for second-best in the District 2 hunt. “All season we kind of hung our heads low after losses,” senior Kristian Stefanides said. “We’ve been trying to figure out our game.” But the team has rallied together and emerged a more powerful group. After a late goal to down Dallas in the district semifinals, the Blue Knights made a Marra Wagner goal stand up against Crestwood in the district final for their first district crown since 2008. “Not a lot of people expected us to win going in,” Sebia said. “We got a lot of confidence from that.” “Our team chemistry really developed in that game,” senior Ann Romanowski said. “We know there’s more pressure on us, but we really came together.” “It was the first game we really all played together,” Stefanides said. “We definitely showed what we can do.” Now, Seminary gets a first round rematch with Donegal (14-5) tonight at 7 at Wyoming Valley West. Last year, a 4-3 Blue Knights victory – after the play-in games required of the District 2 runner-up – sparked Sem to its most recent title. “We’ve played them four times,” Klassner said. “They are really good. We saw them play Saturday. They are quick and well coached, and play in a pretty

Crestwood (20-3) tries its hand tonight at the Wyoming Seminary path to a state championship. The District 2 Class 2A runner-up opens against Greenwood for a second consecutive season. This season, Greenwood (16-1-2) is the District 3 runner-up despite an undefeated regular season. The Comets are making their seventh appearance in the state tournament in the past eight years. During that stretch, Crestwood has won its first round game in all but one of those seven appearances. They are paced by Anna Dessoye, a Maryland recruit who has 25 goals and 58 points this season. Their game is at 6 p.m. at Lower Dauphin. In the Class 3A bracket, Wyoming Valley West is back in the tournament for a second consecutive season. The Spartans, who last won a state title in 2003, will host District 11 runner-up Whitehall at 7 p.m. on Crestwood’s home turf. The Zephyrs (19-3-1) have lost two of their previous four games. In fact, all of Whitehall’s losses have come at the hands of Emmaus this season. A balanced Wyoming Valley West offense is led by Riki Stefanides (20 goals), Kelcie Hromisin (19) and Maura Anistranski (18).

strong league.” “It helps us not to have to travel there to play,” said Sebia, recalling last year’s trip to Hershey after a pair of play-in games. “The travel can be tiring. We enjoyed getting to work on our offense and our defense. Just to come here and work out every day has been great.” They come in with confidence found during their district championship game. They were without Julia Grosek, a sophomore who was lost earlier this season. They played the final without starting goalie Ellie McDougal, who is likely lost for the season due to illness. Hannah Dressler, a junior, stepped into goal for the Blue Knights and made eight saves against Crestwood. Marra Wagner, a junior who scored the only goal of the district final, is expected to miss today’s game. “We have three starters out, so we’ve had to reposition some kids,” Klassner said. “Some of the juniors have really played strong. “Hannah played a very strong game in goal. We weren’t sure if she was ready yet because she didn’t have the playing experience, but she stepped up and played really well.”

Valabik working to get healthy for Penguins By TOM VENESKY tvenesky@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Boris Valabik watched two of his teammates get called up to Pittsburgh last week to fill vacancies on the blueline and wondered if one of those calls would’ve been for him. “I’d be lying is if I said I didn’t think about that,” Valabik said. The 6-7, 245-pound defenseman has been sidelined with a knee injury ever since signing as a free agent with Pittsburgh in the off-season. He cleared waivers last week and reported to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton with hopes of reclaiming his NHL

Craig practices, will be a game-time decision Captain Ryan Craig went through a full practice on Monday and will be a game-time decision for Wednesday’s contest in Norfolk. Goaltender Brad Thiessen hasn’t lost in regulation since the Oct. 8 season opener and is tied for the AHL in wins with seven. He has also won his last six starts, earning two shutout and allowing six goals in that span. Hynes likes to keep playing the hot goaltender, but he acknowledged that at some point he will have to rest Thiessen and get veteran backup Scott Munroe into the lineup. “Munroe is a guy we know can play and long-term, to be successful, you need two goalies that can play,” Hynes said. “Our schedule picks up with some weekday games and three-in-fours with tough travel, so Scott will get some time.”

said his knee is returning to form. But he isn’t going to rush it. “We just don’t know if it’s good enough where I could play continuously, and that’s the focus,” Valabik said after Monday’s practice at Coal Street. “I’m getting frustrated with it, but we want to take it slowly. I’d rather take a longer time now so I’m 100 percent and to the point I can play game after game without having to take time off.” Head coach John Hynes’ practices have been critical to his recovery, Valabik said. Hynes tailors his practices so they feature a lot of fast tempo, game-pace, and Valabik is no stranger to the

Two locals grab Patriot awards The Patriot League announced its field hockey awards last weekend and two area athletes earned top honors. Lafayette freshman Brittany Blass (Crestwood) was named Rookie of the Year and Lehigh sophomore Sierra Segear of Wilkes-Barre (Wyoming Seminary) was named Goalkeeper of the Year. Blass started all 19 games for the 11-8 Leopards, who captured the league title and will compete in the NCAA Division I Tournament starting this week. She had four goals and seven assists for 15 points with two game-winners. “Brittany has just had a tremendous impact on our team,” coach Andrew Griffiths said. “I’m really pleased she was recognized with the award. She couldn’t be more deserving. She is going to be a force for our team over the next three years.” Segear posted a 6-9 record for the 6-12 Mountain Hawks, who were beaten 5-0 by Lafayette in the league semifinals. She had 18 saves in the game. On the season, she gave up 51 goals and had 184 saves. The latter averages out to 11.8 saves per game, second in Division I. Her save percentage (.783) ranks eighth. “I have been impressed with Sierra all year,” Lehigh coach Stacey Blue said. “She is a natural leader and comes to play every game. She was definitely a huge reason why we made it to the league tournament.” MORE HONORS FOR KELSEY – North Carolina field hockey standout Kelsey Kolojejchick better find a bigger area to display her trophies. Kolojejchick, from Larksville (Wyoming Seminary), earned a pair of honors last weekend as she helped the Tar Heels capture the Atlantic Coast Conference title with a 2-1 victory over Duke. She was named the league’s Offensive Player of the Year and earned a spot on the All-Tournament team. The 5-foot-2 junior has scored 45 points (tops in the league) on 19 goals and five assists. She has five game-winners. “Kelsey has really improved this season,” coach Karen Shelton said. “She’s really growing up as a player and working so hard offensively and defensively. She poses matchup problems for any team she plays.” Kolojejchick has played both in the front and at midfield for the Tar Heels this season. “To see Kelsey lead the league in goals while playing a

ple weeks, he knows he’s in good hands. “My coach in juniors was hard, but honest and fair. The coaches here are the same way,” Valabik said. “They demand hard work and they’ll reward you for it.” After he gets healthy, Valabik hopes that reward will earn him a trip back to the NHL. That is, after all, why he decided to sign with Pittsburgh. “I wanted a chance to prove I could play in the NHL and it sounded like they are willing to give me that chance,” Valabik said. “But I also know I am with a new organization and I have a lot to learn. That’s why I’m here.”

ON CAMPUS lot of time in the midfield is really something that’s unique,” Shelton said. And, Kolojejchick will pick up some additional hardware in the coming weeks. She’s a twotime All-American and a cinch to add another trophy when that team is announced. She was also South Region Player of the Year last season and is in the running to win that honor again. PYROS HELPS TIGERS – The Princeton field hockey team captured its seventh straight Ivy League title with a 3-0 victory over Penn last weekend and one of the key performers on the squad is senior midfielder Alyssa Pyros. Pyros (Dallas), who has played on four straight Ivy title teams, has three assists, a defensive save and helped the Tigers record three shutouts this season. “Alyssa has been her usual reliable self this season on both sides of the ball,” coach Kristen Winn said. “Her consistency and attention to detail make her invaluable to our team.” The coach feels that Pyros has stepped it up another notch for her final season. “In addition to the consistency, Alyssa has been so threatening inside our attacking side. She has been involved one way or another in the majority of our goal scoring chances.” Pyros entered the season having played in 45 games and starting 37. NCAAS FOR EDWARDS – Mansfield’s Brenae Edwards will be competing in the NCAA Division II Cross Country Championships Sunday, Nov. 20 in Spokane, WA. Edwards (Hazleton Area) earned the berth by finishing third in the Atlantic Regionals last Saturday in Slippery Rock. The grad student finished with a 6k time of 21:50 and trailed only four-time champion Neely Spence and Katie Spratford, both of Shippensburg. This will be the first NCAA cross country championship for Edwards, who sat out last season with an injury. She finished sixth in both the PSAC Championship and the Atlantic Regionals in 2009. PRATT DOING THE JOB – Junior Eric Pratt (Tunkhannock) is starting at left guard on offense for the West Chester football team which is 5-5 over-

style. “It brings me back to my junior days when practices were high tempo and competitive,” he said. “I love that. That’s what gets you prepared.” On Monday Valabik went hard for about half the practice before leaving the ice. Hynes said that was by design. “We’re trying to have him go hard for short periods of time so he can practice at a game pace but it doesn’t fatigue him where he gets hurt gain,” Hynes said. That’s fine with Valabik, who said even though he has only known Hynes and assistant coach Alain Nasreddine for a cou-

all and 4-3 in the PSAC East after a 49-13 victory over Millersville last Saturday. Pratt, a 6-foot-5, 275-pounder, has helped the Golden Rams average 365.4 yards in total offense (192.5 passing and 172.8 rushing). “Eric has improved tremendously this year with his move to guard from tackle,” coach Bill Zwaan said. “He moves very well for a big man and that fits into our sweep and counter schemes. The move has also improved his pass blocking.” The Golden Rams have been sacked just twice in 10 games. They close their regular season in a non-league game against Indiana Saturday in West Chester. JACOBER LEADS THE WAY – The Delaware Valley field hockey team was just 3-14 on the season but the team got a standout effort from junior midfielder Rony Jacober. Jacober (Hazleton Area) had two goals and three assists for seven points but that’s just half the story according to coach Carol Di Girolamo. “Rony had a great year individually,” the coach said. “She really took a young team under her wing and tried to teach them and lead them on the field.” Because of the youth on the squad, Di Girolamo had to move Jacober around on the field, playing both in the forward line and at midfield. “Each year, Rony has improved greatly,” the coach said. “You can just see that the work she puts in during the summer is paying off.” The coach is looking forward to next season. “With the addition of some key recruits, I feel that Rony will be able to do more offensively on the field,” Di Girolamo said. MOVE HELPS KEENE – Sophomore Korbin Keene (Wyoming Valley West) was moved from outside midfielder to center midfielder for the Pitt-Bradford men’s soccer team this season. It didn’t hurt his offensive performance. He finished with six goals and an assist for 13 points (second best

on the team) and had a goal in a 2-0 victory over Pitt-Greenburg in the first round of the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference playoffs and had two goals in a 4-3 loss to PSUBehrend in the semifinals. “Korbin really fit into our way of playing,” coach Darek Panol said. “I know he’s more natural playing outside but he helps us in the middle because of his high level of technical and tactical abilities.” Two freshmen who played at Coughlin High also saw plenty of action for the Panthers, who finished 7-9-2 overall and 6-2-1 in AMCC play. They are Jake Karavitch and Bobby Sorokas. Karavitch, a midfielder, had an assist in the Pitt-Greenburg game and scored his first collegiate goal in a 4-1 victory over Franciscan. He played in 16 games and started one. “Jake is a very creative player who has an opportunity to become a potent outside midfielder or forward for us,” Panol said. Sorokas played in 14 games with five starts and had an assist. “Bobby played multiple positions this year but injuries throughout the season slowed him down,” Panol said. “But the future is bright for him. In fact, I think that all three of them will be a very big part of our success in the years to come.” SUSEK ON TITLE TEAM – Senior Heather Susek (Coughlin) is a key member of the Syracuse field hockey team, which defeated Connecticut 3-2 last Sunday to capture the Big East title and earn a trip to the NCAA Tournament. It was the team’s second straight championship. Susek, a forward, was second on the team in scoring with 17 goals and six assists for 40 points. She had three gamewinners. The Orange, who posted a 13-0 record at home and are ranked fifth in the nation, will take an 18-3 record into the tournament. Syracuse was beaten 3-2 in overtime in the second round by Ohio State in last year’s tourney.

ride.” The Black Knights are led by senior middle hitter Tori Welliver and sophomore outside hitter Ali Wickwire. The 6-foot Wickwire had 16 kills and five blocks against Troy, while the 5-11 Wickwire posted nine kills and nine blocks. “Welliver and Wickwire are major offensive threats,” Ka-

blick added. “We have to devise a game plan to try and keep the ball outside, which will force some of their smaller players to do more hitting.” Holy Redeemer is led by 6foot senior middle hitter Allie Griswold, who paced the Wyoming Valley Conference with 378 kills, and also had 26 blocks. The Royals have a

CHICAGO — Dale Sveum felt as though he was seeing the same pitch again when he interviewed for the Chicago Cubs’ managing job. The Milwaukee Brewers’ hitting coach says Monday the process mirrored what he went through in Boston last week, with management firing similar questions his way and putting him through a game simulation.

tion, placed on administrative leave. Paterno and Spanier are not facing charges but are left to deal with the biggest crisis of their careers as national attention descends on Once-Happy Valley. That will especially hit home today as Paterno holds his weekly press conference at roughly 12:30 p.m. at Beaver Stadium. Though Paterno is not considered a target in the investigation, many in attendance will certainly not be there to ask about the Cornhuskers. Anticipating that, Penn State released a statement Monday night saying that the “primary focus of the teleconference is to answer questions related to Penn State’s senior day game with Nebraska this Saturday. Head coach Joe Paterno and any Penn State football student-athletes in attendance will be answering questions about the Nebraska game, Penn State’s season thus far and other topics related to the current college football season.” Reactions to the scandal continued to pour in Monday. “This is a criminal matter under investigation by law enforcement authorities and I will not comment on details,” NCAA president Mark Emmert said in a statement. “However, I have read the grand jury report and find the alleged assaults appalling. As a parent and an educator, the notion that anyone would use a position of trust to prey on children is despicable. My thoughts and concern goes out to the alleged victims and their families.” The situation has justifiably dwarfed the Nittany Lions’ 8-1 record as they head into their biggest game so far this season. Penn State typically makes about 10 players available for interviews during a game week, but there will be just two speaking over the next two days – senior tackle Chima Okoli today and senior captain Drew Astorino on Wednesday. Members of the team have largely been tight-lipped since returning to campus, though a few expressed thoughts online. pair of outstanding players in junior setter Biz Eaton (567 assists, 225 service points) and sophomore Sydney Kotch (224 service points). Griswold, a first team All Stater last year, is the Royals go-to player. “She’s a great player and is there whenever we need her,” Kablick said. According to Redeemer se-

Whether he gets a chance to replace Mike Quade in Chicago or Terry Francona on the Red Sox bench remains to be seen. Sveum says those are the “two most prestigious jobs in baseball, if not sports.” Sveum has little experience as a manager, other than an interim stint for the Brewers late in 2008 when he led them to the playoffs. He also served as Boston’s third base coach when Theo Epstein was the general manager. “I believe this dark time is gunna (sic) bring everyone together even more,” senior linebacker Nate Stupar posted on his Twitter account. “Adversity shows character and it’s time to show ours.” A series of posts on the account of quarterback Matt McGloin about the team’s attitude for the remainder of the season was followed up an hour later by a post saying that the account had been hacked, and anything written there on Monday should be ignored. A future Penn State player, Wyoming Valley West standout Eugene Lewis, is still “firmly committed” to signing with the Lions in February, according to Spartans coach Pat Keating. National perception of the university and its football program will be an issue for Penn State for the foreseeable future. At a press conference Monday, state attorney general Linda Kelly was asked if Paterno and others not facing charges could have done more to bring allegations against Sandusky to light. “There is legal guilt and there is moral guilt,” Kelly said. “(We) are concerned with legal guilt. I’m not going to comment on morality.” State police commissioner Frank Noonan, a 30-year resident of Clarks Summit, did just that. “I think you have the moral responsibility,” Noonan said. “Anyone. Not whether you’re a football coach or a university president or the guy sweeping the building. I think you have a moral responsibility to call us.” Evidence of a similar sentiment has been seen on campus as well. On Monday afternoon, photos of the Paterno statue that stands on the east side of Beaver Stadium began to circulate as they were posted to the Web. Just below the replica of the familiar profile and thick glasses hung a sign taped to the chest. Written there was a line taken from Penn State’s alma mater. “May no act of ours bring shame.” Regardless of what Paterno does or does not say today, the coach and the team will be dealing with this for the rest of the season and beyond. nior middle hitter Danielle Rose, the Royals raised their play to a different level during the district playoffs. “Our intensity is high and making it to states is a reward for all the hard work we put in during the season, as well as last summer,” she said. “We’re ready. I don’t think the long bus ride is going to have any effect on us.”

Busch gets a fat fine for dustup

Gold medalist goes to a dance

By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — NASCAR fined Kyle Busch $50,000 on Monday and placed him on probation through the end of the year for wrecking Ron Hornaday under caution at Texas. NASCAR also warned Busch that he will be suspended indefinitely if he is involved in any other action “detrimental to stock car racing or to NASCAR, or is disruptive to the orderly conduct of an event.” Busch was scheduled to run only in the Sprint Cup Series race this weekend at Phoenix, it’s not clear how many events he had planned to enter in next week’s season finales at Homestead. Busch and Hornaday were racing each other early in Friday night’s Truck Series race at Texas when Busch deliberately wrecked Hornaday, a championship contender, under caution. “I lost my cool, no doubt about it,” Busch said after the wreck. NASCAR, which pulled Busch off the track after the wreck with Hornaday, parked Busch for the Saturday and Sunday races at Texas as further punishment. Busch became the first driver since Robby Gordon in 2007 to be suspended from a Cup race. Ke-

Kyle Busch, who watched Sunday’s race from his team’s pit, was barred from driving in the Sprint Cup and Nationwide races at Texas after he deliberately wrecked a driver in the Truck Series.

vin Harvick was suspended in 2002. Harvick and Gordon were fined $35,000 each after their suspension, and both were placed on probation through the end of the year. They were also warned with the exact same language used in Monday’s warning to Busch. Busch could still face additional discipline from Joe Gibbs Racing or sponsor M&Ms. Michael McDowell replaced Busch in Sunday’s Cup race, and Busch watched it from atop the JGR pit box. “I understand why I was taken out of the car for the rest of the weekend. NASCAR officials had to act, and I accept their punishment and take full responsibility for my actions,” Busch wrote Saturday in an apology letter posted on his website. “As a racecar driver, the hardest thing to do is to sit on the sidelines listening to cars on the track when you know you should be out there competing. For this, I have no one to blame but myself.” Busch was a title contender at

who posted pictures of the evening on her Facebook page. “It’s pretty funny to think that my first homecoming would come at the age of 27.” Or that until Soelden she had never won a World Cup giant slalom event, especially since she’s been so dominant in everything else. That discipline has always been her bugaboo, possibly even costing her a fourth overall crown last winter as she finished three points behind HoeflRiesch after the season’s final race was called off because of poor course conditions. HoeflRiesch had a 192-158 advantage in the giant slalom last season. The disparity led Vonn to concentrate even more on improving that portion of her skiing, spending even more time in a San Diego gym working on her explosive power to better navigate the twisting and technical courses. She even switched over to a men’s version of the giant slalom ski for this season, simply because it provided more stability and power. Instant success. And with her electric finish in Soelden, Vonn became the fifth female skier ever to win a race in all five Alpine disciplines. She’s also the second American skier to complete the discipline sweep, joining Bode Miller.

the start of the 10-race Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, and he opened it tied with Harvick as the top seed. But he faltered through the first few races and has not been a threat. He’s had a good deal of drama this season, too. Busch was on probation earlier this season following a post-race, pit-road confrontation at Darlington with Harvick. He was cited for careless and reckless driving, and speeding after driving 128 mph in a 45 mph zone. He later lost his North Carolina driver’s license for 45 days as part of sentence that included a $1,000 fine, 30 hours of community service and a year of unsupervised probation. He clashed in the garage with rival team owner Richard Childress at Kansas in June and intentionally wrecked Elliott Sadler during the truck race at Bristol.

HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colo. — Lindsey Vonn has found her rhythm on the ski slopes and the dance floor. The Olympic gold medalist turned in quite a two-step to start the season, capturing her first giant slalom race last month followed by attending her first homecoming dance with a teenager who gathered up enough courage to ask her out. So far, she has all the right moves in a season that could be shaping up to be quite memorable for Vonn, who’s attempting to reclaim the overall World Cup crown she lost to Maria HoeflRiesch of Germany last year. One of the challenges, though, may be striking the right balance between staying sharp on the slope and honing her image away from it. Vonn doesn’t like to tap the brakes on the course or in life, preferring to go at top speed all the time. Her calendar — much like her recent dance card — is quite full. That’s why she has a “No” person in husband and adviser Thomas Vonn, who makes sure Vonn doesn’t become overextended.

“He’s the one that’s like, ‘OK, really? That’s enough. You need to take a break, take a rest,’” Vonn said. Vonn “Most of the time I’m like, ‘I’m good.’ He knows me really well, knows when I’ve had enough.” In between her season-opening giant slalom win in Soelden, Austria, nearly three weeks ago and taking part in the U.S. Ski Team’s formal announcement of the squad over the weekend, Vonn has been all over the place. She attended a ski ball in New York, along with taking part in a photo shoot for a sponsor and a magazine story, before flying to Las Vegas to participate in an event for tennis great Andre Agassi’s foundation. Vonn of Vail, Colo. also found time to speak with kids at an elementary school in Denver on behalf of Vail Resorts and showed up for a function at the Vail Ski and Snowboard Academy, where 15-year-old Parker McDonald found the perfect last-minute homecoming date in the school lunch room. By finding the nerve to ask Vonn to the dance, he instantly became the envy of all the boys in the school, possibly boys all over the world. “Parker was a great date. He was a gentleman,” said Vonn,

By MAE ANDERSON AP Retail Writer

NEW YORK — Barnes & Noble unveiled a $249 Nook Tablet Monday just ahead of the crucial holiday shopping season as the book retailer fights for a larger share of the lucrative e-book market. Tablets and e-book readers are going to be flying off the shelves before the holidays, and Barnes & Noble Inc. and Amazon are hoping to challenge Apple and its dominant iPad for a piece of the holiday pie. The Nook Tablet arrives just weeks after Amazon released its $199 Kindle Fire tablet. Barnes & Noble conceded on price while offering more memory and a product that it says has a longer battery life than the Kindle Fire. But it cut the price on its Nook Color, which doesn’t have streaming services, to $199, from $239. The Nook Tablet will be in stores and shipped to homes on Nov. 17. Like the Nook Color, it has a 7-inch color touchscreen. The tablet will come preloaded with apps from Netflix and Hulu. Morningstar Analyst Peter Wahlstrom said the tablet appears to be a solid device, and that most features were expected as part of the next iteration of the Nook Color.

A federal judge was asked Monday to give final approval to a $410 million settlement in a class-action lawsuit affecting more than 13 million Bank of America customers who had debit card overdrafts during the past decade. Attorneys for the bank and the customers said the agreement was fair and reasonable, even though customers would receive only a fraction of what they paid in overdraft fees. Bank attorney Laurence Hutt said 13.2 million Bank of America customers who had debit cards between January 2001 and May 2011 would get some payment. Customers will receive a minimum of 9 percent of the fees they paid through the settlement.

More borrowing in Sept.

Total consumer borrowing rose by $7.4 billion in September, the Federal Reserve said Monday. In August, it had fallen by the most in 16 months. The September increase reflected a 5.8 percent increase in borrowing in the category that includes car and student loans. The category that covers credit cards dropped 1 percent after two months of larger declines.

Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. invested $23.9 billion in the thirdquarter, the most in at least 15 years, as he accelerated stock purchases and broadened the portfolio beyond consumer and financial-company holdings. Berkshire bought almost $7 billion of equity securities in the three months ended Sept. 30, compared with $3.62 billion in the second quarter, the company said Friday in a filing. Stockholdings labeled “commercial, industrial and other” soared 62 percent in the three months to $17.4 billion on a cost basis, surpassing equity investments in financial and consumer-product firms.

CHICAGO -- Groupon’s impact on Chicago reaches far beyond the daily-deal coupons emailed to its customers in the third-largest U.S. city that it calls home. In little more than two years, the company’s total employees have surged to more than 10,000 from 37. Hundreds of those workers live in the Chicago area, a modest boost to a local economy in which the most recent unemployment rate was 10.5 percent compared with 9 percent in October for the nation. Groupon’s growth also has raised the city’s profile with technology investors. While earlier Internet companies in Chicago spawned talk of creating a Silicon Prairie, none of them ever boasted the global recognition of Groupon. The company’s expansion and initial public offering that raised $700 million offers startup companies something they can aspire to -- and is refashioning how Chicago sees itself. “We were never identified as a tech city,” said former Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley, a Groupon booster who’s now associated with the Chicago-based international law firm Katten Muchin Rosenman. “We’ve identified the city as a city with tech people, creative people, risk takers, and it’s changed the whole image.” Regardless of its IPO’s success, the company has inspired a new generation of business innovators, said Jerry Roper, chief executive officer of the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce. “Groupon has helped to wake up the aspiring entrepreneurs,” Roper said. “That has sparked a lot of excitement.” Groupon has more than 2,400 employees in its North America operation, many of whom work at its headquarters at 600 W. Chicago Ave. The 1.5 million-squarefoot building is the former distribution center for the catalog operation of Montgomery Ward, and sits on the banks of the Chicago River north of downtown. Newton, Mass.-based CommonWealth REIT in August paid $390 million for the property, the eighth-largest U.S. commercial real estate deal in the third quarter, according to data from Real Capital Analytics, a New Yorkbased real estate research firm.

ables nine hours of video watching and comes with 16 gigabytes of memory with an expandable SD slot to add memory. Apple Inc.’s iPad is the king of tablets now. It starts at $499 for a barebones version and costs $829 for the most expensive model. In addition to being available online and at Barnes & Noble stores, the Nook Tablet will be sold at a variety of retailers including Target, Best Buy, Staples and Fry’s.

Since introducing its first Nook in 2009, Barnes & Noble has spent heavily on its e-book readers and ebookstore as people change the way they read, and also to fight off tough competition from discounters and online retailers. The company has struggled to turn a profit and saw its rival, Borders Group Inc., seek bankruptcy protection and then liquidate its assets. The Nook Tablet weighs less than a pound, has a battery life that en-

For years, we’ve had the ability to build remote-controlled robots and devices that could see or hear for us from far away. That’s two senses down, three to go – not bad, but hardly immersive. But recently, scientists in Japan have tipped the scales and brought the sense of touch into the mix. And they’ve thrown some technology used in displaying 3-D virtual reality imagery in for good measure. They’re calling the combination of sight, hearing and touch “telexistence.” Using a 3-D/virtual reality display, a user can control the robot, called the TELESAR V, seeing what it sees, hearing what it hears, and most

Today could be our warmest day of the week and warmer than any day in November last year. Today's record high of 73 is safe, but having morning temperatures in the 40s and afternoon readings in the 60s is nice enough to make any voter want to get out and vote today. With the weather in a holding pattern, Wednesday looks every bit as nice as today. On Thursday, a cold front will bring cloudiness and a shower, followed by a bit of rain and snow on Friday. The weekend is looking dry, then another warming trend will send temperatures back up to above normal for most of next week. -Tom Clark

Palliative careâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s promise By MELISSA HEALY Los Angeles Times

OS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; What if a new medication for severely ill patients had no role in curing them but made them feel much better despite being sick? Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s say this elixirwerefoundtodecreasethepainandnausea of cancer patients, improve the sleep and energy of heart failure patients, prolong the lives of people with kidney failure, drive down healthcareexpendituresandeasetheburdens of caregivers? Thosearethepromisesofafledglingmedical specialty called palliative care â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not a new drug but a new way of treating patients who are living, often for years, with acute or chronic illnesses that are life-threatening. If palliative care were a pill, government regulators would very likely approve it for the U.S. market. Federal healthcare insurance programs would quickly agree to pay physicians andhospitalsfortreatingpatientswiththenew therapy. And patients would make it a blockbuster drug in no time flat. Yet uncertainties cloud the prospects for palliative care. Among the unanswered questions: Who will pay for these services, where will this new fieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workforce come from, and what is it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; cost savings or com-

tionship with a single physician, and even fewer doctors have the expertise or time, while trying to cure a very ill patient, to coordinate his care and tend to his physical and psychological distress. Growing quickly over the last few years, the field of palliative medicine has begun to step into this breach. Since 2000, the number of hospital-based palliative care programs has more than doubled, according to a report issued late last month by the Center to Advance Palliative Care and the National Palliative Care Research Center, organizations that have been active in supporting the fieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growth. Today, professional teams tasked with ensuring that patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; symptoms are managed, their medical options are clearly explained and their wishes are respected are available in roughly 63 percent of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hospitals. Thediscipline,saysDr.DianeE.Meier,who directs the Center to Advance Palliative Care, â&#x20AC;&#x153;is the necessary counterbalance to a highly specializedsystemofmedicineinwhichmany of our patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; needs are falling through the

Q: Do you think that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ever have a cure for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;common coldâ&#x20AC;?? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; B.E., Wilkes-Barre, Pa. A: If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d asked me that question a month ago, I would have given you the same answer that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve given for years: The â&#x20AC;&#x153;common coldâ&#x20AC;? is actually caused by a number of viruses such as rhinoviruses, enteroviruses, parainfluenza, coronaviruses, respiratory syncytial viruses and adenoviruses. The fact that they all can mutate has made it impossible to find a vaccine thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll wipe out one or more of these viruses responsible for colds. However, researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology may have found the magic bullet. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called DRACO, which stands for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Double-stranded RNA Activated Caspase Oligomerizer,â&#x20AC;? and thus far in human and animal cell cultures and lab mice it has been successful at killing all15 viruses it has been tested against -- including rhinoviruses and adenoviruses, H1N1 flu virus, poliovirus, Dengue fever virus and the viruses that cause deadly hemorrhagic fever. The mechanism of action for this wonder drug is that it targets the RNA (genetic coding information used by viruses) and gets the targeted viral cell to commit suicide. This novel approach in theory could work on any RNA-containing virus â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including flu, the common cold viruses â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even the HIV virus. Best yet, it is thus far non-toxic to healthy tissues and organs. More extensive testing is needed in mice, followed by other animals and then human subjects before DRACO can be deemed safe and effective for the general population. But the results are very exciting so far. This research is funded by a grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the New England Regional Center of Excellence for Biodefense and Emerging Infectious Diseases. Q: Is there anything doctors are working on to cure baldness? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been using Propecia for several years with only modest hair regrowth. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m considering hair transplantation. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; C.G., New York, N.Y. A: As a matter of fact, there are several new studies that may lead to a cure for baldness, one day. One study is being conducted by researchers at Yale University. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preliminary research conducted in lab mice, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to determine that multipurpose â&#x20AC;&#x153;stemâ&#x20AC;? cells in the fatty layer of the scalp send signals that trigger hair growth. According to Dr. Horsley, senior author of a study published in the Sept. 2 issue of the journal Cell, if we can get fat cells in the scalp tissue to talk to the dormant stem cells at the base of hair follicles, we might be able to get hair to grow again. Dr. Horsley and her colleagues observed that when hair dies, the layer of fat that makes up most of the thickness on the scalp gets thinner. When hair growth begins, the layer of fat thickens. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at whether the same signals that trigger hair growth in mice will regrow hair in humans. Dr. Mitchell Hecht is a physician specializing in internal medicine.

Bandera said. The study was based on an analysis of urine samples from163 girls, aged 9 and10. Girls who have their first period beforeage11areattripletheriskfor breastcancerlaterinlife,compared to those who have it after. The reason is estrogen — the greater the lifelong exposure to estrogen, the greater the risk of breast cancer. Dr. Frank Biro heads one center of the federally funded “breast cancer and the environment research program,” at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. His 2010 study of 1,200 girls, found the onset of puberty has dropped among American girls, with many as young as 7 and 8. Bandera said she was interest-

ed in the effects of hormones in meat on healthy girls. The synthetic form of the fungus she studied is banned for use in the European Union but widely used in the United States as a growth enhancer for cattle. In the United States, “they’re giving this hormone to affect meat production and growth, so I thought it has to affect growth in girls,” Bandera said.

The Army ofTwo

Written by Betty Miles • Illustrated by Joan Sandin Father marched with them. At the front of the parade, ahead of all the marchers, were Abby and Becky! Abby played Father’s ﬁfe, and Becky banged the cooking pot with her spoons. YANKEE DOODLE! they played as they marched. YANKEE DOODLE WENT TO TOWN! The parade stopped at Scituate Harbor. Abby and Becky were made to stand on a high rock so everyone could see them. Then all the town came round them to wave and cheer.

CHAPTER SEVEN The Army in the Woods

bby and Becky ran out of the woods and across the rocks to the lighthouse. And there was Father, coming home from Scituate! “Father!” they cried, and ran to meet him. He picked up each girl in a great hug. “Are you all right?” he asked. “We are fine, Father,” they said together. “I came home as fast as I could,” Father told them. “ When I heard the cannon shot I was afraid for you! But I see the ship has gone off—” “Yes,” said Abby, “and do you know why it went away?” Father smiled at her. “Can you tell me?” “We made it go!” Abby said. “We marched like an army. We played the fife— your fife!—and drum—” “It was really the cooking pot!” Becky said. “With spoons for drumsticks. We hid in the woods and played and played as loudly as we could.” “And then the ship turned back!” Abby went on. She stopped. Now Father knew they had not stayed in the lighthouse as he had told them to. What would he say? “We did not do as you told us,” Becky said quickly. “I am sorry, Father. We thought we must try to make the British go away.” “You were right,” Father said. “You were brave girls, to carry out such a dangerous plan.” “It was Abby’s idea,” Becky said. “She thought of it.” “But Becky was braver,” Abby said. “I was afraid, but Becky never stopped marching and playing.” “You were both brave,” Father said. “You were an army of two! You saved the town of Scituate from the British.” He smiled at

them. “Shall we have our supper now?” “Oh!” said Abby. She and Becky had not thought of fixing it! “We can have bread and cheese,” Becky said quickly. “That will be a fine supper,” Father said. So Abby and Becky and Father sat by the kitchen window and ate their bread and cheese. The ocean was bright in the setting sun. And there were no ships on it. Soon, everyone in Scituate and all the towns around had heard the story of the Army of Two. And not long after, on a fine sunny day, they all turned out to cheer for

Abby and Becky. First, there was a big outdoor feast. There were lobsters and clams and fish from the ocean, chicken and hams from the farms, peas and potatoes from the gardens. There were apple pies and cherry pies and berry pies and cream pies. Then came the parade. It went all through the town and down the road and out to Scituate Harbor. In the parade there were horses and wagons, ponies and carts, men and women and many little children waving flags. There was the fife and drum band of Scituate, playing as they marched.

Hip, hip, hooray! Hip, hip, hooray! Hip, hip, hooray for the Army of Two! The story of the Army of Two soon went out from Scituate to all the towns around. It went from Boston to Cape Cod and far across the country. It went down from parents to their children, and to their children’s children’s children. So many people told the story that it began to change, as stories do. Some tell it one way, some tell it another. In the story you have just read, the part about the cooking pot is made up. But most of the story is true. Abby and Becky were real girls, who really played the ﬁfe and drum in the woods by the lighthouse, and made the British ship turn away from Scituate. If you should go to Scituate today, you will see a lighthouse by the shore. It is the very same lighthouse (with a new top) that Abby and Becky looked out of, so many years ago. You can see the real ﬁfe that Abby played. And maybe, if you stand beside the ocean and listen hard, you can hear the girls play Yankee Doodle, in your mind.

hospitals’ emergency departments and spend less time in the intensive care unit. Palliativecarepatientsalsoappear more likely to have made their endof-life care wishes explicit, so fewer are intubated or resuscitated in their final days by physicians who don’t know their preferences. The result: If fully integrated into the nation’s hospitals, palliative care could lower the nation’s healthcare expenditures by reducing health care usage — to the tune of more than $6 billion a year, according to a 2010 estimate by the Institute of Medicine, which advises the federal government on medical matters.

— can generate resistance from patients, families and doctors. Some patients, he says, may see palliative care as a stalking horse for hospice or a bid to ration healthcare or improve hospitals’ bottom lines. “There are some physicians, some patients and families that can’t give up, and the ‘H’ word (hospice) has created some negative connotations with them,” Levene says. Palliative care specialists adamantly support whatever choice a patient makes about treatment, he adds. Still, the communityactivelydiscusseswhether its motives are sometimes misunderstood — by patients, politicians and even fellow members of the medical profession.

I had neuropathy for 7 years. They said the nerves would die and I would be in a wheel chair. I couldn’t sleep with the covers on my feet as the burning was so bad from my feet to half way up my calf. I had electric shocks, pulsating throbbing pains through my toes and intense numbness. At the same time my feet to touch felt like ice. I had the Neuropathy Center’s treatment done and now I can sleep at night. I would say I have at least 50% of my feeling back and seldom have stinging in my toes. I can’t sing the praises enough for the people of the Neuropathy Center. They are so positive!

(11.6 months versus 8.9 months). The same study, published last year in the New England Journal of Medicine, found that those who got palliative care reported better quality of life and were less depressed. In their final months of life, the palliative care patients were more likely to choose a different path than those who got the usual care: Among those who did not get the palliative services, 54 percent spent many of their final hours in costly and painful lastditch efforts to prolong their lives. Fewer palliative care patients underwent such treatment. Doing that, it turns out, may also reducehealthcarecosts.Informedby clearer explanations of their options, some patients choose to forego aggressive (and expensive) therapies thatmaymakethemfeelsickerwhile offering, at best, a little more time. Patients who are cared for at home by family, friends and nursing help coordinated by palliative care teams leave the hospital earlier.

cracks. Palliative care, Meier adds, “is needed to focus on the whole personinthecontextoftheirfamily — on everything from pain to spiritual needs.” Palliativecareisdesignedtobedelivered by teams of physicians, nurses, social workers and chaplains. But instead of treating the condition that threatens to shorten a patient’s life, palliative care professionals treat the pain, weakness, worry and decisionmaking pressure that come with the illness and medicine’s often-aggressive efforts to treat it. The movement to provide such care has sprung up alongside the nation’s burgeoning hospice care sector. But though hospice and palliative care share many of the same workforce,goals,patientsandexpertise, there are two key differences: First, to gain access to palliative care, patients need not have six monthsorlesstolive—thecurrent

condition under which hospice care is paid for by Medicare and Medicaid. Second, patients in palliative care getfullsupportiftheywishtopursue any and all efforts to cure their disease — whereas to access hospice care, patient and doctor must have agreed that further “curative therapy” will not be pursued. In other words, “All hospice care is palliative care, but not all palliative care is hospice,” says Dr. Rick Levene, a palliative care specialist at Spectrum Health Care Inc. in West Palm Beach, Fla. Ideally, a palliative care team would swoop in shortly after a patient’s diagnosis, explaining medical options, ensuring patient and family have a treatment plan, and standing by to manage the stress and discomforts ahead. In fact, a trial involving newly diagnosed lung cancer patients found that, despite choosing less aggressive treatment of their cancer, patients who got early and continuous palliative care lived about 2.5monthslonger,onaverage,than those who got standard treatment

Birth of a baby should not be a spectator sport for grandparents Dear Abby: “Pregnant with Apprehension” (Sept. 9) said she’s dreading the birth of her second baby because her fiance’s mother wants to witness the birth. Apparently, “PWA” wants only her mother and her fiance, “Cliff,” in the delivery room. You said her wishes should be paramount. I agree. I am a labor and delivery RN in a major medical center in California. More and more people today view birth as a sporting event. It’s worse when the mother-in-law wants to be there because “it’s her right.” “PWA” should let Cliff know if he can’t stand up to his mom, her labor nurse will! I will be the one who in-

DEAR ABBY ADVICE forms visitors that it’s hospital policy that there be only two people at the bedside, and there is NO bending the rule. That way, the mother-in-law can hate the nurse, but not her daughterin-law or her son. I’ll willingly take the heat for my patient if it means a better labor outcome for her and the family. — “Because I Said So” Dear “Because”: Thank you for agreeing with me. However, those who disagreed shared experiences that are worth noting. My newspaper readers comment:

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

Dear Abby: For “PWA” to say she doesn’t want Cliff’s parents to see their grandchild for two weeks is selfish, and I don’t think she should demand that her fiance back her up on this. Her mother is going to be there from the moment of birth. While it’s understandable she doesn’t want anyone else in the delivery room, she shouldn’t be surprised that his mother is hurt. Cliff needs to tell “PWA” she’s being unreasonable. I wish my son had spoken up on my behalf. Being shut out of this blessed event is hurtful and causes tension. She has the right to dictate who is in the delivery room with her, but she shouldn’t deny his parents their right to be a part of their grandchildren’s lives. — Blessed to Be a Nana

CRYPTOQUOTE

Dear Abby: I didn’t want my in-laws in the delivery room either, but I was sensitive to the fact that they are just as much family as my parents. My solution was to have just my husband present for the birth. Blending families together used to hold a greater importance, and I feel for parents who are feeling left out of their children’s lives. — Maggie in Aiken, S.C. Dear Abby: As a young mom, I almost always went to my parents for support, baby-sitting, etc. However, now that one of my sons has a baby of his own, I see the other side of the coin. It hurts not to enjoy the kind of relationship with the baby that my daughter-in-law’s parents have. There

must be middle ground. While I would never invite myself into her delivery room (although it would have been nice to have been asked), or assume I could stay in their home immediately after the birth, some effort to include me should have been shown. I agree Cliff needs to explain to his parents the logistics of the situation, but in a way that still assures them they will have their special time, too. — The Other Grandma To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). In order to achieve your aims, you must first define them well. It will be easy for you to get specific now because you have excellent examples close at hand. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Take yourself out for a shopping date. Even if you don’t buy anything, you’ll be creatively inspired by the experience. You also will home in on the kind of impression you really want to make. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). While doing something you happen to be great at, you’ll spread sunshine and make people smile. So it’s a win-win all around. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Be patient with the current state of things. You will have more than one career in your lifetime and several big adventures. Whenever you’re in a lull, as you may be now, rest up and take full advantage. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Career issues arise. Give yourself plenty of time to make your next move. Right now, you don’t need any extra pressure. Tonight, reward yourself with a teeny, tiny portion of the treat you’ve been craving. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Someone wants to join in your fun, but is afraid of possibly being rejected. If you want the added input, just give the signal. Dreams will be especially vivid and powerful tonight. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Talking about people who aren’t there complicates matters that could be simple. It’s better to say nothing or go right to the source for answers.

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

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A training process or area of learning is open to you, though you may have to do a little investigating to find it. There’s money to be made in this, so seize your opportunities. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your intelligence will be recognized by a like-minded individual, and you’ll be given special treatment and preference because someone sees special potential in you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If you ever wanted to live in a candy house or have a unicorn for a pet, you realize that some childhood dreams are not appropriate for adult reality. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today features the sharing of secrets, directions and information. Write down or otherwise record the information that is given to you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Relationships advance because you get more in sync with another person. You won’t have to offer anything new. You’ll create affinity by falling in step with the other person’s actions and behavior. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 8). You’ll try things that others wouldn’t dare. Part of it is your sheer determination. The other part is that you have a feeling it’s going to work, and it will. The professional risks you take will coincide with the risks you take in your personal life, and both turn out well. Aquarius and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 15, 39, 20, 14 and 30.
