One year after Luzerne County voters chose a historic switch to home rule government, they have selected the 11 people who will steer the county through the change. Voters picked six Democrats, four Republicans and one Independent from a ballot of 28 contenders. Sugarloaf Township resident Rick Morelli, a Republican, came out on top, with 25,003 votes, according to unofficial results. Democrat Stephen A. Urban -the only incumbent county commissioner to seek a council seat – came in second with 23,631 votes. His son, Stephen J. Urban, a Republican, also secured a seat. Both men have said they are independent thinkers and expect to disagree at times on county issues. The following top six vote-getters will serve for four years, according to unofficial results: Morelli; Stephen A. Urban; Jim Bobeck, Democrat, 23,396; Stephen J.

Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter exits a voting booth after casting his ballot on election day in Philadelphia on Tuesday. Voters went to polls throughout the state to pick people for state and local spots.
HARRISBURG — Allegheny County Judge David Wecht won a promotion to the state Superior Court in Tuesday’s statewide balloting, but a race between two Bucks County lawyers for an open seat on the Commonwealth Court was too close to call. Returns from 83 percent of precincts showed Wecht, a Democrat, defeated Republican Vic Stabile, a Harrisburg lawyer, with 56 percent of the vote. In the Commonwealth Court race, Republican Anne Covey, of New Hope, had 52 percent compared with 48 percent for Democrat Kathryn Boockvar, of Doylestown. Local elections officials reported a light turnout as voters also filled thousands of local offices and judgeships. In Allegheny County, where voters elected Democratic former county councilman Rich Fitzgerald as the next county executive, election manager Mark Wolosik had predicted a turnout of about 35 percent. “It’s a beautiful day here,” he said Tuesday. “I don’t think that people can use the weather as an excuse” for not voting.

Dem wins in Ky.; Ohio public worker union rights restored Republican wins governor’s race in Miss., where “personhood” is defeated. By CHRIS SUNDHEIM Associated Press
Kentucky’s Democratic governor won another term Tuesday, and Mississippi voters kept their governor’s office in GOP hands — decisions that suggested many Americans were not ready to abandon incumbent parties, despite the nation’s economic woes. In Ohio, voters restored the bargaining rights of public employees, and in Mississippi voters Tuesday defeated a ballot initiative that would’ve declared life begins at conception, a proposal that supporters sought in the Bible Belt state as a way to prompt a legal challenge to abortion rights nationwide. The so-called “personhood” initiative was rejected by more than 55 percent of voters, falling far short of the threshold needed for it to be enacted. If it had passed, it was virtually assured of drawing legal challenges because it conflicts with the Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that established a legal right to abortion. Supporters of the initiative wanted to provoke a lawsuit to challenge the landmark ruling. Voters’ last major judgments of 2011 were closely watched for any hints about the public’s political mood just two months ahead

way elsewhere. In Arizona, state Sen. Russell Pearce, architect of the tough immigration law that put the state at the forefront of the national debate, faced a recall attempt led by a fellow Republican. But Pearce held a 3-to-1 fundraising advantage. Other votes of note: • Hundreds of cities held mayoral races, including some of the nation’s largest. In San Francisco, interim Mayor Ed Lee could become the city’s first elected Asian-American leader. A former city administrator, he was named to the interim job in January, when then-Mayor Gavin Newsom became lieutenant governor. • Comic-turned-politician Robert Farmer lost his bid to become Kentucky’s agriculture
commissioner. Farmer told hillbilly jokes that upset some people, and he had no farming experience. In Ohio, another comedian, Drew Hastings, a fixture on “Comedy Central,” became mayor of tiny Hillsboro. • In Maine, voters decided whether to repeal a new state law that requires voters to register at least two days before an election. Repeal would effectively restore Election Day voter registration, which had been available for nearly four decades. Maine voters also decided whether to allow casinos in certain communities. • Washington state voters decided whether to end the staterun liquor system and allow large stores to sell alcohol. The effort has been bankrolled by giant retailer Costco.

one point, anointed himself the “Overweight Lover,” but he had slimmed down in recent years. He burst on the scene in the late 1980s as the front man of the hiphop group Heavy D and the Boyz, which he formed with neighborhood friends Eddie F (Edward Ferrel), G-Whiz (Glen Parrish) and Trouble T-Roy (Troy Dixon). The Boyz were the first group signed to burgeoning Uptown Records, and their 1987 debut, “Living Large,” reached the No. 10 spot on the Billboard R&B/HipHop Albums chart. Their 1989 album “Big Tyme” went platinum and yielded the hits “We Got Our Own Thang,” “Somebody For Me” and “Gyrlz, They Love Me.”
They went on to release three more albums and recorded the theme songs for the TV shows “In Living Color” and “MADtv” before Myers embarked on a solo career. Born May 24, 1967, in Jamaica, Myers was the youngest of six children. His mother Eulah, a nurse, and father, Clifford, a film technician, moved the family to Mount Vernon, N.Y., when he was young. He found success in the music industry despite having dropped out of school after the eighth grade. Myers garnered praise for his radio-friendly, playful flows and was embraced as an unlikely sex symbol by female fans who called him a “big teddy bear.”

Leighton takes 3rd term in W-B Downing two challengers, the incumbent leads a Democratic sweep. By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com
WILKES-BARRE – Mayor Tom Leighton said his opponents tried to knock him down during the months leading up to Tuesday’s election, but they couldn’t knock him out. “I stayed on myself, stood strong and the voters did the rest,” Leighton, 51, said after addressing a crowd of supports at his headquarters in Midtown Village. Leighton Cope won his third four-year term as the city’s mayor, defeating Republican Lisa Cope and Libertarian Betsy Summers. According to Summers unofficial results, Leighton received 3,852 votes to 2,365 for Cope and 737 for Summers. Leighton’s victory led the way for a Democratic sweep in the city. All five council seats went to Democrats, and Kathy Kane won the controller’s post. “We ran a positive campaign,” Leighton said in his acceptance speech. “We ran on the issues, presenting voters with a solid platform. I look forward to leading the city over the next four years.” With his wife, Patty, and children, Kelly, Thomas and Courtney, at his side, along with his mother and siblings, Leighton was all smiles as he greeted supporters, shaking hands and getting hugs. The biggest hug came from his brother, Patrick, who has Down syndrome. “You’re my favorite mayor,” Patrick told his brother.
Wilkes-Barre Mayor Tom Leighton, his wife, Patty, and daughter Courtney leave the polls after casting their ballots Tuesday.
Touting a platform Leighton told the crowd he won’t let them or the city down. “My platform was one that is achievable,” he said. “My opponents ran on promises that weren’t obtainable. We’ve had a great eight years and we have a lot of work to do over the next four.” Leighton said voters saw through “the meaningless headlines” over the past few weeks – headlines about the mayor’s hiring practices and the city’s purchase of home security systems for him and former city administrator J.J. Murphy. Cope, 45, said she ran a good, clean campaign and she wanted residents to know that she intends to keep an eye on the city. “The voters came out and vot-
ed for who they wanted,” she said. “I hope they are happy with who they have chosen.” Cope said the 35 percent turnout translated to less than 7,000 people voting in the city that has more than 20,000 registered voters. “The entire city election was decided on about 6,700 total votes,” she said. “The leadership of the city was left to less than 7,000 people.” Cope said she is not going away. “I will continue to be visual in the city fighting for the residents, going to council meetings,” she said. “We still have a lot of right-to-know requests submitted and we await those and we will go from there.”

AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER
Criticism dished out For nearly a year now, Leighton dealt with criticism: • He hired his children and relatives for summer jobs. • It was revealed that the city paid for a home security system for the mayor and a former city administrator at a cost of approximately $14,000. • Allegations have been made of missing city credit card statements — Leighton says the statements aren’t missing; he says they were never sent because there was a zero balance and no charges for the months in question. • The issue of the former Old River Road Bakery has not been resolved, and Leighton has been accused of favoring Leo Glodzik, owner of LAG Towing Co., the
city’s contracted towing company. Critics have claimed Leighton has seen that Glodzik gets favorable treatment when buying city properties and terms of his towing contract have not been enforced, while the city looks the other way when Glodzik charges “exorbitant” fees for towing. Glodzik and Murphy were at Leighton’s headquarters Tuesday night, along with several city department heads. The mood was festive and Leighton appeared relieved that the election was over. He campaigned on his record, noting the city regained its credit rating after inheriting a $10.8 million deficit when he took office in 2004. He talked on the new businesses that have opened in the city, generating
Democratic advantage There are more than 15,000 Democrats registered in the city, compared to 4,200 Republicans and far less “others” like Libertarians. In 2007, Leighton won with 4,625 votes to 2,401 for his Republican challenger, Linda Stets Urban. Cope and Summers campaigned largely on the theme that it was time for a change in the city; time to bring fairness to the mayor’s office and rid City Hall of political cronyism. Summers wanted to reduce the earned income tax from 3 percent to .5 percent. Cope said she would increase the quality of life in the neighborhoods and work to grow the city’s businesses and residents and crack down on absentee landlords and warned that criminals and drug dealing residents will not be tolerated.
Tuesday’s election was filled with close races, but probably none close enough to warrant a recount, Luzerne County Director of Elections Leonard Piazza said Tuesday night. In countywide elections, newcomer Ste- “Results fanie Salavantis under topped incumbent Jacqueline electronic Musto Carroll voting only by just under 1,000 votes, or see variaabout 1.5 per- nces of cent of the total vote; 750 votes just a few separated judi- ballots.” cial candidates Leonard Piazza Lesa Gelb, who County election won a seat on chief the county bench, from Molly Hanlon Mirabito, who did not; and in the County Council race only 59 votes, or .01 percent, separated winner Eugene Kelleher from Eileen Sorokas, the leader among those who did not win a council seat. But given the accuracy of electronic voting machines, which are employed in all 78 county polling stations, none of those are close enough to warrant a second look, Piazza said. “To be frank, what’s close in a countywide race is less than five ballots,” the election chief said. “We have found that election results under electronic voting only see variances of just a few ballots; less than five and closer to one.” Piazza said Pennsylvania has no state law that would mandate a recanvassinacountyelection;instatewide elections an official recount could be ordered when the margin dividing candidates is less than one half of one percent. “In order for a candidate to have a re-canvass of the votes conducted, they would have to petition the Court of Common Pleas indicating what substantial fraud or error occurred in the tabulation of the vote,” Piazza said. “Since there’s no substantial fraud apparent in the election, it is doubtful the court would order such a re-canvass.” Poll workers had tallied all but 60 “marginally marked ballots,” Piazza said at 10:20 a.m. Tuesday. Those ballots will be counted by Friday, when the election results will be entered with the state and become official.
WILKES-BARRE CITY
Barrett, Brown, Merritt, Lavelle, George win for W-B council The city’s legislative body stays all-Democratic with 3 newcomers taking seats. By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com
WILKES-BARRE – Three new faces will join two incumbents to make up the once-again all-Democratic City Council. Bill Barrett, the 61-year-old retired city police chief, retained his seat in District D, as did fellow incumbent Mike Merritt in District E. They will be joined in January by fellow Democrat George Brown, District A, the top vote getter for council candidates with 1,035 votes, according to unofficial results. Brown defeated Republican Claire Wert, who garnered 686 votes to capture the seat currently held by Rick Cronauer, who will become the magisterial district judge in District 11-1-01 in Ja-
nuary. Brown, 60, said he put a lot of work into his campaign and he’s looking forward to addressing the issues. “I want to make sure I have a full understanding of the issues and I will go on council with an open mind,” Brown said. “I want to be able to deal with my fellow council members and work with them and the administration.” Brown said he wants to assure residents that he will listen to their concerns and give them respect when they attend council meetings.
Barrett prevails In District D, Barrett easily outdistanced Republican challenger Linda Urban, 930 to 589. In District E, Merritt received more than twice the votes of Republican Virgil Argenta, 729 to 345. In a three-way race in District C, Democrat Maureen Lavelle defeated Republican Stephen J. Ur-
ban and Independent Sam Troy. Lavelle received 705 votes, to 241 for Urban and 137 for Troy. Kathy Kane holds the seat through year’s end. Kane on Tuesday won the city controller’s seat, holding off a strong challenge from Republican Karen Ceppa, 3,600 to 2,935, according to unofficial tallies. Another former city police chief, Tony George, won the seat in District B, easily outpolling Republican Vincent Guarneri, 894 to 359. “I’m thankful the voters were not influenced by the misleading information that was presented during the campaign,” Barrett said. “I intend to continue to do what I have been doing on council and that is working with my fellow council members and the mayor and his administration to keep moving the city forward,” he said. George, 60, said he was happy to see the faith placed in him by the voters.

We have to crack down on out-oftown landlords and those who live in town and don’t maintain their properties. We don’t nee more resolutions or rules; we have to start enforcing the rules we have.” Lavelle said she was thrilled that Mayor Tom Leighton won a third term.

HAZLETON – Republican Mayor Joe Yannuzzi eked out a victory on Tuesday to retain the chief executive’s post in a heavily Democratic city. Yannuzzi, 74, gave up his seat as council president last December to accept council’s appointment to fill the unexpired term of Lou Barletta, who resigned as mayor to take office as U.S. representative for the 11th Congressional District. Cuozzo On Tuesday, Yannuzzi held onto the mayor’s seat, walking away with 1,489 votes to Democrat Grace Cuozzo’s 1,331 and Independent John Medashefski’s 336, according to unofficial election results. Those numbers equate to Yannuzzi nabbing 47 percent of the vote, Cuozzo 42 percent and Medashefski 11 percent. The win is noteworthy, given that registered Democrats outnumber registered Republicans in Hazleton by nearly 2-to-1. Yannuzzi surmised the race was so close because of low voter turnout and a general dissatisfaction with incumbents. “I’m very, very pleased to get the opportunity to serve the public for another four years. That was my goal,” Yannuzzi said during a victory party at the Hazleton Elks Club. “I think the people appreciate what I’ve done for the city and accepted the changes I’ve made.”

Accomplishments Throughout his campaign, Yannuzzi touted a number of accomplishments during his tenure, such as the installation of 33 surveillance cameras throughout the city at no cost to taxpayers, saving $120,000 over two years by bidding out insurance coverage, restoring the police department’s complement to 40 officers and getting the city’s books in the black by borrowing money to pay off outstanding debt. His plans are “to stay on the track I’m on” and keep the city moving forward. A major focus will be the $27 million state-financed Hazleton Betterment Project, also known as the Broad Street Corridor project,
to widen and beautify Broad Street – the city’s main downtown thoroughfare – as Yannuzzi believes it will improve the city’s image and help attract business and investment. During their campaigning, all three candidates had agreed that crime and community development were two of the biggest issues facing the city. Cuozzo and Yannuzzi also ranked finances as a top concern, while Medashefski said he would need to review the unreleased 2010 audit before commenting. Yannuzzi contended that a $5.6 million loan the city took out earlier this year would take care of years of unpaid bills and put Hazleton in the black, while Cuozzo insisted that paying off a $3 million tax anticipation

Martin’s win in Dallas Twp. a historic one The Democratic critic of gas drilling beats longtime incumbent Glenn Howell. By SARAH HITE shite@timesleader.com
DALLAS TWP. – Democratic challenger Liz Martin defeated longtime Republican incumbent Glenn Howell in the race for township supervisor in Tuesday’s general election. Martin received 893 votes and Howell received 849 votes, according to unofficial results. All election results are unofficial until certified by the Luzerne County Board of Elections. She is the first female supervisor in Dallas Township, and the first challenger to defeat an incumbent in nearly 50 years. Martin celebrated with
friends and family at Hogan’s Heroes & Pizza in Dallas. She said the win is a sign the township needs a change in leadership. “It means there’s probably going to be change,” she said. “It means there will be a fresh start. It means there will be transparency in our government. It means there will be no more back-door deals.” Martin, managing editor of Independent NEPA magazine, ran in 2009 against Supervisor Phil Walter and narrowly lost by 31 votes. Howell, a retired bank manager, served the township in different capacities since 1956. He said his primary concerns included keeping the budget balanced and maintaining local roads. Howell declined to comment on the results.
Natural gas development has been a controversial issue in the township for the past year. Two natural gas companies, Chief Gathering LLC and Williams Field Services LLC, have received approval from the township to install gathering lines to tap into the Transco interstate pipeline near the Dallas School District campus. Both companies also are seeking approval to construct natural gas metering stations within 1,800 feet of the district campus. Martin, as part of the Gas Drilling Awareness Coalition and the Dallas Parents-Taxpayers Group, has been outspoken against further natural gas development in the area and she feels the most important issue is protecting children in the community. She said her plans for the

O’Malley, Wansacz to join O’Brien on Lackawanna County board Democrats will have a 2-1 majority among the county commissioners. By GERARD HETMAN, RICH HOWELLS, and CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES Go Lackawanna Staff
SCRANTON – A longtime Scranton School Board member will join the Lackawanna County Board of Commissioners in January, according to preliminary election results on Tuesday. Republican Patrick O’Malley, 42, the current vice president of the school board, was elected to become the next minority commissioner behind Democrats Jim Wansacz and incumbent commissioner Corey O’Brien, respectively. Wansacz and O’Brien led early, according to unofficial county returns, as O’Malley topped Republican Bill Jones, the 23-year-old South Abington Township auditor, and the race stayed that way throughout the night. Jones conceded at 10:13 p.m., leaving the three remain-
ing candidates open to accept their elected positions. “Thank you. Very simply, thank you. O’Malley As your commissioner,” O’Malley said as he was interrupted by applause from a crowd of nearly 200 gathered at Fiorelli’s in Peckville, “we are going to rebuild county government to what it was, what it’s supposed to be, and what it should be.” O’Malley said his parents instilled a dedicated work ethic in him as a young man. “There are a lot of problems facing Lackawanna County ... Pat O’Malley’s going to fix those problems,” he said. With their young children in their arms, Wansacz and O’Brien joined fellow endorsed party members Controller Gary DiBileo, Clerk of Judicial Records Mary Rinaldi, Coroner Tim Roland and Treasurer Ed Karpovich, each celebrating his or her own win that evening at

the Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel. “Tonight’s a good night,” O’Brien said. “We have been through a lot together over the last four years, and there’s a lot more to do. We’re up to the challenge, and we’re going to work hard and we’re going to get it done.” Wansacz, who ran against O’Brien in the primary, followed his running mate’s comments
with his own belief that Tuesday night’s results prove that the voters “want us to put politics aside and get to work.” “People are tired of politics. They’re tired of Washington fighting, state government and local government fighting. What we’re going to do is focus on working together, to bring everybody on the same page, and bring the county forward,” Wansacz said.
Both admitted that with the recent guilty verdicts in the corruption trials of former commissioners Robert Cordaro and A.J. Munchak, it is not an easy time to serve in county government, but they agreed to be “as bipartisan as possible” and are “looking forward” to working with O’Malley. “I’m just so grateful that the voters of Lackawanna County would elect me for a second time. It’s been a difficult time, and we’ve faced a lot of tough times, but we’ve done that together,” O’Brien said. Jones, a constant critic of county government after May’s primary, was humble in his concession Tuesday. “I appreciate everything. We made some inroads, and we made some believers. We tried to offer a fresh perspective, which I believe this county deserves,” he said. “That will happen one day, but today won’t be that day.” Unofficial results gave Wansacz 25,784 votes, O’Brien 24,273, O’Malley 21,419 and Jones 15,989.

Kuren wins 4th term as mayor of W-B Twp.
The Republican continues to show strength in a strongly Democratic community. By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com
Republican three-term WilkesBarre Township Mayor Carl Kuren held off his Democrat opponent in a township that’s got nearly two Democrats registered to every Republican. In unofficial results from Tuesday’s election, Kuren defeated John Bryan 548-363 to earn a fourth term as mayor. Prior to his 12 years in that office, he was on township council for a dozen years. Kuren, 68, has withstood challenges from Democrats and even Kuren members of his own party in past Kuren, 68, has mayoral elections.

He said he fied… was surprised that message didn’t come across once the ballots were tallied. It was the lifelong township resident’s first attempt at elected office and he said it may not be his last. In other contested mayor races in the county: • Tammy Martin defeated George J. Barna Sr., 303-165, to earn a two-year-term as Freeland mayor, the office to which she was appointed following the death of her husband, Tim Martin. Tim Martin was mayor for nine years until his death in September 2010. Tammy Martin was appointed by council to fill the seat until 2012. • Tim Lenahan, a Democrat, unseated incumbent Penn Lake Park Mayor Leroy W. Warner, a Republican, 85-82. In addition to the mayor’s race in Wilkes-Barre Township, there was also a contested election for council in which six candidates sought three seats. The top three voter-getters, in unofficial results, were: Katie Krutski Arnone, 494 votes; Michael P. Wildes, 463 votes; and John J. Jablowski Jr., 429 votes. Incumbent Mary Yuknavich garnered 416 votes, Renee M. Faust received 411 votes and Kevin Flaherty got 333 votes. In other township commissioner or supervisor races: • Brigid O’Connor and Ronald Filippini retained their Plains Township commissioner posts with newcomer Ciro J. Cinti Jr. set to join them. James O’Meara earned 693 votes and finished fourth in the race for three seats. Cinti garnered 1,556 votes, O’Connor got 1,468 and Filippini received 1,315. • The top finishers of the eight candidates for four commissioner seats in Hanover Township were: William L. Howatt, 1,110 votes; Albert J. Bagusky, 1,086 votes; Frank J. Ciavarella, 1,077 votes; and Michael D. Mazur, 1,074 votes. Howatt and Bagusky are Republicans while Mazur and Ciavarella are Democrats. The four who unofficially finished on the outside looking in were: Ronald R. Hummer, 931 votes; Sherry A. Dalessandro, 930 votes; Joseph F. Prato, 1,018 votes; and William Buzz McGavin, 826 votes.

Rice Twp. rejects larger governing board Nanticoke and Plymouth Twp. adopt home rule. Pittston will begin a study. By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com
By a 448-258 tally, voters in Rice Township rejected a ballot question asking whether to increase the size of the township’s board of supervisors from three members to five. A group of township residents got the question placed on the ballot and, had it passed, Rice would have joined neighboring Wright Township with having a five-member board. A majority of townships in the county have three-member boards including all other Mountain Top
region townships such as Fairview, Dorrance and Slocum. Unofficial results show voters followed the current elected board of supervisors, which last month voted 2-1 to voice their opposition to the referendum. Miller Stella Jr. and George Venesky voted in favor of the resolution, while Ann Kijek opposed the measure. The resolution the supervisors passed against the measure indicated that adding two new supervisors, who would have been elected in 2013 and began serving in 2014, would have cost taxpayers $35,056 per year in additional salary, benefits and equipment. There were three other ballot questions up for the consideration of voters in a handful of municipalities Tuesday.
The (Nanticoke) panel will be responsible for creating a charter and then voters will once again have a chance to make a decision. In that case it will be to approve the charter or reject it and continue with the current form of government.
In Pittston, voters opted to begin the process of studying a home rule form of government. The vote was 808-458. Voters also elected the seven members of the commission that’s now tasked with crafting the charter. The seven top vote getters, according to unofficial tallies, are: former Mayor Michael A. Lombardo with 865 votes; current Mayor Jason C. Klush, 829 votes; City Councilman Joseph Chernouskas, 607 votes; Fred Stuccio, 585; Ginger Murphy, 576; Art Bobbouine, 567 votes; and Benjamin
P. Tielle Jr., who earned 425 votes. Barb Zangre, 389 votes, and Frank Sheperis, 358 votes, were not chosen for the panel. The panel will be responsible for creating a charter and then voters will once again have a chance to make a decision. In that case it will be to approve the charter or reject it and continue with the current form of government. In Nanticoke, voters there voted to adopt the home rule charter that its own elected commission crafted over the past 18 months.
The new government will be a “strong mayor” form giving the mayor more powers. The mayor will also be empowered to hire a city manager. The vote was 1,101 to 282 in favor. In Plymouth Township, voters chose to adopt the home rule charter its study commission crafted. The vote was 259-42. Among the changes the charter calls for are that supervisors would serve four-year terms instead of six-year terms; tax increases would be limited to only 8 percent more than the previous year; annual audits would be done by an independent certified public accountant or an accounting firm. This would mean the elimination of the offices of elected township auditors.
Making the rounds on Election Day Luzerne County Council candidate John Ruckno, a Republican from Dallas, greets voters at the Dallas Township Municipal Building on Tuesday afternoon. Ruckno was among 28 candidates running for 11 seats on the new council, which will oversee the county’s historic switch to home rule government. Out of the 28 candidates, Ruckno finished 13th with 18,581 votes, according to unofficial results Tuesday night.

Eleven capture district judgeships By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com
Eleven people secured magisterial district judgeships on Tuesday, all without a general election challenger. Nine of the 11 winners were incumbents: Paul J. Roberts Jr., based in Kingston, with 2,645 votes; David Barilla, based in Swoyersville, 3,572 votes; Joseph A. Halesey, based in Hanover Township, 2,713 votes; John E. Hasay, based in Shickshinny, 2,751 votes; Daniel O’Donnell, based in Sugarloaf, 3,148 votes; Gerald L.

The Newport Township resident defeated three opponents to secure both the Republican and Democratic party nominations. The two newcomers who will don the robe next year are Rick Cronauer, an electrical contractor who defeated six other candidates in the May primary, and Hazleton police Detective James Dixon, who beat three others in May. Cronauer, who received 2,712 votes, will assume the seat that has been vacant since William Amesbury ran for and won a Luzerne County Common Pleas Court judgeship in 2009. Dixon, who garnered 1,847 votes, will take the seat currently held by District Judge Thomas Sharkey. Sharkey announced previously that he would retire at the end of the year.
With little competition, races for area school boards settled By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com
The majority of Luzerne County’s 11 school districts saw minimal competition for available seats, though Northwest Area actually had more contenders Tuesday than in May, thanks to one primary winner dropping out of the race. Here’s a breakdown of Tuesday’s results. All numbers are unofficial. Crestwood: With four of six candidates running on both tickets – incumbents Ken Malkemes, Gene Mancini and Jerry Orloski along with newcomer Michael Marshall – the real race should have come down to the fifth and final seat, with William Thomas on the Republican ticket and John Mullisky on the Democratic slate. But it was Mancini struggling to get the fifth seat, with Thomas netting 2,261 votes to Mancini’s 2,241 and Mullisky’s 1,671. Crestwood had the dubious distinction in May of having five available seats and only two candidates running, Malkemes and Mancini. The other candidates got on the ballot through write-in campaigns in May. Dallas: Like Crestwood, Dallas had four of six candidates on both ballots – incumbents Bruce Goeringer and Catherine Wega were joined by Colleen Slocum and Larry Schuler. The fifth seat race was essentially between Fred Parry on the Republican slate and Jeff Thomas on the Democratic side. Parry outpolled Thomas 2,499 to 1,661 Greater Nanticoke Area: Four candidates ran for four four-year seats, and one ran for a special two year seat. All were cross-filed. Incumbent Tony Prushinski netted the most votes at 2,236 with newcomer Chet Beggs coming in second, followed by incumbents Ryan Verazin and Kenny James. Frank Shepanski, who was
appointed to fill the term of Sylvia Mizdail until the election, was the only one to seek the special two-year seat that would complete that term. Mizdail died in September 2010. Hanover Area: In another race free of competition, five candidates ran for five seats on both tickets. Incumbents John Mahle, John Pericci and Joe Steininger won the three top spots, separated by narrow margins, with newcomers Paul Holmgren and Kevin Quaglia joining.Hazleton Area: Another district with four of six candidates winning both nominations in the primary left the real competition between Marfy Degenhart Yanac on the Republican ticket and Rocco Formica on the Democratic side. Degenhart Yanac netted 5,902 to Formica’s 5,684 for the win. Newcomer Robbie Wallace topped the results table with 7,430 votes, followed by incumbents Tony Bonomo, Dr. Robert Childs, and Brian Earley. Hazleton Area stretches into Schuylkill and Carbon counties. Results from Carbon were not available. Lake-Lehman: One of only two Luzerne County districts to elect board members by region, Lake-Lehman had no competition in regions one and three, with incumbent Mark Kornoski and newcomer Richard Bombick the lone contenders for two seats in the former and no one challenging incumbent Walter Glogowski in the latter. Bombick was a newcomer competing against two incumbents in the primary, but incumbent Peter Farrell died in a car accident before the election. In region two, Karen Masters was almost guaranteed a win by dint of appearing on both ballots. Republican James Welby and Democrat Phillip Lipski vied for the other seat in that region, with
AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER
Voters were faced with an extraordinarily long ballot on Tuesday as they went to the polls.
Welby outpolling Lipski 534 to 313. Northwest Area: After the primary, Luzerne County’s smallest district by enrollment should have been yet another race with four candidates listed on both tickets and two – incumbent Al Gordon as Republican and newcomer Jeff Pierontoni as Democrat – vying for a fifth seat in separate parties. But after winning both nominations in May, Richard Federici withdrew, giving both parties a chance to put a new name on the ballot for that seat. Randy Tomasacci ran Tuesday on the Republican slate and Gary Boberick on the Democratic side. But Tomasacci, a former board member who consistently tallied good numbers in elections, far outpolled Boberick. In fact, Tomasacci came in second with 1,170 votes to Ralph Killian’s 1,174. Incumbents Daryl Morgan and Gordon followed, leaving incumbent Gerald Con-
ger to fight for the fifth seat, edging Boberick 839 to 811. Pierontoni had 709. Tomasacci had been appointed to fill a seat vacated when Lisa Schoenhofen resigned, and a special two-year election was also on the ballot to complete her term. But neither party put forth a name for that slot, which means the write-in with the most votes will get the post. With a scant 80 write-ins reported, it won’t take many for someone to win, but the county will not announce who the write-in candidates are until later this week. Pittston Area: Five candidates running for five seats, all running on both tickets, made this a noncompetitive race. Newcomer Charles Sciandra got the highest total at 4,066, followed by incumbent Tony Guariglia. And newcomer John Casey Donahue. Newcomer Richard Gorzkowski had the lowest count at 3,840.
Wilkes-Barre Area: One more race with four candidates running on both tickets, leaving the fifth seat up for a battle between Kathy Grinaway on the Republican slate and Louis Elmy on the Democratic side. Elmy got 5,271votes to beat Grinaway’s 4,119. Independent Sam Troy got 3,029 to come in last. Incumbent Maryanne Toole won the most votes at 6,821, with former district principal Dino Galella landing a spot on the board with the second highest count at 6,386. Newcomer John Quinn was third and former board member James Susek, who has failed to return to the board in several prior efforts, finally succeeded with 6,237. Wyoming Area: Echoing the situation in Wilkes-Barre Area, four candidates appeared on both tickets, leaving Carl Yorina Jr. on the Republican ticket competing with Incumbent Nicholas DeAngelo on the Democratic slate – at least in theory. But Independent Mary Louise Degnan put in a strong showing, coming in fifth with 2,521votes and earning a seat on the board, while incumbents Toni Valenti and Nicholas DeAngelo both lost their bids for re-election with the two lowest totals, 2,324 and 2,228 votes respectively. Incumbent Catherine Estelle Campenni topped the vote count with 3,149, followed by newcomers Deanna Farrell, Beth Gober-Mangan and Yorina. Wyoming Valley West: The other county district that elects by region had no competition, with one candidate on the slate for each region on both tickets. Voters also had no choice on the ballot for a special two year seat won by newcomer Gary Evans, who was appointed to fill the seat vacated when Allen Bellas was charged in the federal corruption probe and resigned.

brary services for the Greater Hazleton Health Alliance. She told voters she will provide good government and won’t make political deals. “I’m grateful to the people who voted for me, and I will work as hard as I can to bring a new beginning to everybody in the county,” she said. “We need a fresh new start. We can do great things.” McClosky Houck, 53, of Kingston, is a Wyoming Valley West School District teacher and music and liturgy director at the Holy Family Parish in Luzerne. She has promised to be a “good public servant” and emphasized her ability to grasp complicated issues. She could not be reached for comment Tuesday night. Kelleher, 67, of Dallas Township, is now retired and has worked as a high school math teacher and in the financial services industry. He said he wants to delve into county finances, saying “numbers don’t lie.” “I’m very thankful to the people who voted for me and the many people who helped me. My job now is to be a public servant,” Kelleher said.

who will serve two-year terms, are: Harry Haas, Republican, 21,292; Rick Williams, Independent, 20,345; Elaine Maddon Curry, Democrat, 19,572; Linda McClosky Houck, Democrat, 19,351; and Eugene Kelleher, Republican, 18,852. The race was close, as predicted by political analysts, with Democrat Eileen M. Sorokas losing to Kelleher by only 59 votes. Only one of the elected candidates was part of the four-person, union-endorsed “Working Families for Luzerne County” slate -McClosky Houck. Morelli, 40, an ADHD awareness specialist at Shire Pharmaceuticals and a business owner, said he was “humbled” to finish at the head of the pack. He noted that 3,669 Republican voters and 5,589 Democrats chose the straight-party option to select candidates, which meant that he and other Republican candidates had to overcome a nearly 2,000-vote disadvantage. “I’m very emotional. That’s the way to describe it right now. When so many people put confidence in you … I’m lost for words right now,” Morelli said. He was the only candidate who both helped to draft the home rule charter and served on the home rule transition committee. Morelli said his MBA in finance and his business experience would benefit the new council, and he stressed that he is “no one’s rubber stamp.” Morelli believes citizens will be “very proud” of the new council, saying it’s a “good group” with “diverse backgrounds.” “We now all need to work together to start rebuilding our county. It’s not going to happen overnight, but I believe in the long run the citizens of Luzerne County will have a more honest and efficient government that they can trust,” he said. Commissioner gets nod Stephen A. Urban, 59, of Wilkes-Barre, a retired Army lieutenant colonel who has served as a Luzerne County commissioner since 2000, campaigned on his experience in county government and his willingness to share that knowledge with other council members and the public. “I want to thank the voters for their confidence in me,” he said. Bobeck, 31, a Democrat from Kingston, is an attorney and administrative law judge for the state Bureau of Hearings and Appeals. He is chairman of the home rule transition committee and campaigned on his leadership and legal experience, saying he has a firm grasp on decisions that must be made by the new council. Bobeck thanked voters and his family, in particular his wife, Megan, and his parents. “The whole county is a winner, as the citizens of this county have taken a monumental step toward the realization of a new government,” he said. Stephen J. Urban, 37, of Wilkes-Barre, has worked in the information technology field and is currently employed at RCN Corp. He said he wants to end “bickering and arguing” and work on solutions to problems.

Nancy Berley, left, and Gerry DuBoice congratulate Luzerne County Council candidate Tim McGinley at the Wyoming Valley Country Club as the last of the preliminary vote tallies came in. McGinley placed fifth among the 11 winners Tuesday.
Urban thanked the voters and said he’s “eager to work for the people.” McGinley, 64, of Kingston, has worked as a Wilkes-Barre Area School District chemistry teacher and is administration director for the Commission on Economic Opportunity. He plans to retire from that position at the end of the year. McGinley promised to communicate with the 10 other council members to build consensus. He thanked his family, friends and supporters and said he was “thrilled” to win a seat. “I’ll do my very best to provide the positive services that the citizens of the county deserve,” McGinley said. Brominski, 72, a Democrat from Swoyersville, is a former county commissioner who also ran the county Assessor’s Office for nine years. He emphasized his experience in public service and said he wants to get the new government on solid footing. “I’m looking forward to starting this new venture. Choosing an excellent manager will be the number one immediate top priority,” Brominski said. Govern with ‘decency’ Haas, 36, of Wilkes-Barre, is a history teacher at Dallas Middle School who promised to govern with “decency.” His campaign platform was to decrease debt, hire the best manager and make the county more efficient. “I’m just so grateful to the voters across Luzerne County. I want to represent all the people,” he said. Haas said the new council must “come together” and “really talk” to the people who work in county government and work with the transition committee to “formulate our new vision.” Williams, 64, of Kingston, is an architect who started his own practice in Wilkes-Barre in 1983, now known as Williams, Kinsman & Lewis Architecture.

Government overhaul Council members will be paid $8,000 annually and will choose the first county manager, who will oversee day-to-day operations. The council will also implement policies and codes, make appointments to outside boards and authorities and approve the county budget, tax rate and union contracts. For the winners, work will begin immediately because the new council will join the home rule transition committee, though no decisions made by this group are binding. Actions involving the new government must be approved by council, and council members won’t have authority to make decisions until they are officially sworn in on Jan. 2. The new council members must meet on Jan. 2 to appoint a permanent or temporary county manager and county council clerk, the home rule charter says. About 70 people have applied for the position, and the applications are expected to be distributed to the transition committee next week. The committee will expand from 11 to 19 members with the addition of the new councilelect. Several candidates who did not win seats congratulated the winners. “Win or lose, I’ve been blessed with great family and friends, and this campaign has reconnected me to a lot of people,” said Michael Lacey, a pharmacy owner from Franklin Township who ran on a Libertarian nomination. Republican Kathleen M. Dobash, Hazleton, said she will continue to monitor county government. The other contenders were: Republicans John Ruckno, Blythe Evans III, William “Bill” James, Joyce Dombroski-Gebhardt, Gina Nevenglosky and Michael Cabell; Democrats Jane Walsh-Waitkus, Michelle Bednar, Salvatore Licata and M. Theresa Morcavage; Independent Jeremy Packard; Libertarians Tim Mullen and Brian R. Bergman; and American Independent Charlie “Bible Buck” Hatchko.

neck-and-neck through most of the night, with Musto Carroll holding the lead up until late in the evening. Salavantis surpassed the incumbent after 176 of 189 precincts reported, causing supporters who joined her at the River Grille in Plains Township to erupt into cheers. Salavantis said she got an indication she might pull off the upset as she spoke with voters at various polling places throughout the day. “People were telling me ‘You have my vote. We want a change,’” Salavantis said. She said she anticipated a close race, given Musto Carroll’s name recognition. In the end, she said she believed her position as an unknown outsider helped propel her to victory. “I’m not known. I’m not connected. People are ready for a fresh face,” she said.

She had promised voters a “fresh start,” asking them to make a clean sweep of all those she alleged had stood by idly as Ciavarella violated juveniles’ rights. That issue was the focus of her campaign. She pummeled Musto Carroll with television, radio and print ads that criticized her for failing to do more to uncover the juvenile justice scandal. She spent a total of $184,249 in the general election, compared to $70,310 by Musto Carroll. Despite the attacks, Musto Carroll opted to stay positive in her campaign, focusing on her qualifications and 26 years of experience as an attorney – 20 of which had been spent as a prosecutor. Surrounded by supporters at the Gramercy Restaurant in Pittston, a subdued Musto Carroll said it was unfortunate voters could not see through the attack

It wasn’t about my experience and my accomplishments. It was about ‘kids for cash.’ I was on the right side of that.” Musto Carroll said she felt voters would see that she was more qualified than Salavantis, who has been an attorney for just two years and has never prosecuted a criminal case. In the end, the juvenile justice scandal was too much to overcome. “I thought people would judge me based on my accomplishments. That’s what I look for in people -- who was the most qualified. I thought other people did that as well,” she said. Salavantis said she expected to take some heat for the nega-

private practices in which they concentrate on civil law. Hughes trailed much of the night, until votes from communities in the southern part of the county arrived. Pierantoni, 53, of Dupont, has served for the past 20 years as a magisterial district judge in Pittston, while Gelb, 50, and Rogers, 44, have primarily worked as civil litigators, focusing on complex cases. “I am honored to receive the support from the residents of Luzerne County,” Pierantoni
said. Pierantoni, who celebrated Tuesday at the VFW Post in Dupont, said he is eager to serve the residents of Luzerne County just as he had served the residents of the Pittston area as a district judge. “I am grateful and humbled by this win tonight,” Gelb said from a celebratory atmosphere at Leggio’s in Plains Township. “I promise that I will wear my integrity on my sleeve every day and that I will work very hard.” Most recently, Sklarosky, 42, of Mountain Top, has worked as a part-time assistant public defender and also has his own private practice. Hughes, Rogers and Sklaros-

She also ran for judge in 2009. “I would like to thank the voters of Luzerne County for believing in my campaign and supporting my issues,” Vough said from a campaign party at Tony’s Wine Cellar in Pittston. “I want to thank the voters for following our message, and for overwhelmingly supporting our campaign. I’m very happy.” Sklarosky, who celebrated at Luigi’s Restaurant in Mountain Top, said he will try to live up to the expectations voters have of him. “It’s been a long hard road
court system. “Our county is seen as one of the worst areas in the country and one of the most corrupt. I want to change that.”

and I’m very grateful and honored by the support of the voters,” Sklarosky said. In the May 17 primaries, five candidates secured nominations on both the Democratic and Republican tickets: Gelb, Rogers, Pierantoni, Vough and Sklarosky. Hughes secured a Republican nomination only, while Mirabito secured a Democratic nomination. County judges serve 10-year terms and their salary is $164,602 per year. The newly elected judges will join current full-time judges Thomas Burke, David Lupas, Tina Polachek Gartley and William Amesbury. With 10 judges serving in 2012, the
bench is considered to be fully staffed. Several senior judges also serve the county on a per diem basis, including county senior judges Joseph Augello, Chester Muroski and Hugh Mundy. The first of the six vacancies opened when Ann Lokuta was removed from the bench in December 2008. Elected in November 1991, Lokuta took office the following January. She was removed after the Court of Judicial Discipline heard testimony painting Lokuta as a judicial bully. In January 2009, two more judges – Mark Ciavarella and Michael Conahan – left the county bench after they were charged in the ongoing probe of
corruption in the county. A few months later, Michael Toole, also entangled in the scandal, was forced from the bench and Peter Paul Olszewski Jr. lost a bid for retention in the 2009 election. Vacancies were filled by appointments by then-Gov. Ed Rendell. Joseph Van Jura replaced Toole; Lewis Wetzel filled Olszewski’s seat; Joseph Cosgrove replaced Ciavarella, and a vacant seat left by Lokuta had not been filled due to her ongoing court battle. Two others, Conahan’s seat and a seat once held by Augello, remained open. Van Jura’s, Wetzel’s and Cosgrove’s terms expire in January.

Raymond Elick November 7, 2011 Joseph Elick, 69, of R aymond (Osterhout) Tunkhannock,
died, Monday, November 7, 2011, in the Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia. He was born in Wilkes-Barre, to Charles and Julianna Elick. Raymond married the love of his life, Rosemary Carrigg, on July 2, 1966. Together they raised seven children. Their commitment to one another was based on a loving and sharing relationship. Reflective of this, is a message on their gravestone, “She was the giving tree, and He loved trees”. Rosemary passed away on their 30th wedding anniversary. Raymond was a devoted Catholic all of his life. In his youth, he served in the U.S. Coast Guard. He had a long career working at the Procter & Gamble Paper Mill in Mehoopany. When he was not working, he spent his time in nature, roaming the woods he cherished, carving wood into beautiful pieces of artwork, gardening, and making wine. He traveled to Europe several times, fulfilling a lifelong dream of seeing the world. Raymond started the Rosemary Elick Fund, following the death of his beloved wife, who wanted to help the children of the local schools have their basic needs met. He believed in the foundation of a good education, earning a bachelor’s degree from Keystone College and an MBA from Wilkes University. More importantly, he made sure that each of his children was college educated.
Raymond is preceded in death by his parents and wife, Rosemary Carrigg Elick. He is survived by three sisters, Geraldine and John Grigas, Barbara and Leo Zelinski, Diana and Don Lewandowski; brother, Carl and Maureen Elick; seven children; Raymond Jr. and Danielle Elick, Charles and Elizabeth Elick, John Elick, Jennifer Elick, Stuart and Alyssa Elick, Justin and Lauren Elick, Brendan and Phyllis Elick; four grandchildren, Joseph, Jacob, Joshua, and Julianna Elick.

By DAVID G. SAVAGE Tribune Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court justices, both conservative and liberal, voiced alarm on Tuesday at the idea of giving the government unlimited power to monitor people in public through the use of GPS devices or other tracking technology. The comments came during an argument over whether FBI agents need a search warrant before they secretly install a GPS tracker on a suspect’s car. A government lawyer insisted that because no one has a right to privacy when they move on the public streets, the Constitution puts no limits on such hightech surveillance. It would “not be a search if you put a GPS device on all of our cars, monitored our movements for a month?” asked Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. “The justices of this court?” said deputy Solicitor General Michael Dreeben. Yes, Roberts said. “Under our theory and under this court’s case, the justices of this court when driving on public roadways have no greater expectation …” “So your answer is yes,” Roberts interjected. The chief justice said he understood the notion that agents could follow a person on foot or in a car, but “this seems dramatically different.” The new technology allows an agent to sit at in an office and monitor the movements of many persons, he said. Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. said he had the same concern. The “heart of the problem,” he said, is that computers now permit the government to gather huge amounts of information on people and their activities. “Isn’t there a real change” because of computers and surveillance technology? he asked. Dreeben said no. It’s “not a dramatic change,” he said, in part because the government has no interest in tracking large numbers of citizens. He said the FBI uses GPS devices sparingly to monitor suspicious persons, including in terrorism cases. But the justices kept returning to the same point. “Under the government’s theory, any of us could be monitored whenever we leave home,” said Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. “If you win,” said Justice Stephen G. Breyer, “it sounds like ‘1984,’ ” a reference to George Orwell’s novel of a futuristic state with total surveillance of the populace by the government. Despite the justices’ worries over unlimited surveillance, the argument did not offer a strong clue as to how the court will rule.

Fans flock to support JoePa Turbulent day in Happy Valley filled with emotion for veteran coach. By DEREK LEVARSE dlevarse@timesleader.com

Students greet Penn State coach Joe Paterno, right, as he arrives at his home Tuesday in State College. Paterno’s support among the Penn State board of trustees was described as ‘eroding’ Tuesday amid a child sex-abuse scandal involving a former assistant coach.

would appoint a special committee to conduct an investigation into the “circumstances” that resulted in the indictments of Sandusky, athletic director Tim Curley and vice president Gary Schultz. The committee will be appointed Friday at the board’s regular meeting, which Gov. Tom Corbett said he plans to attend, and will examine “what failures occurred and who is responsible and what measures are necessary to ensure” similar mistakes aren’t made in the future. The board also promised those responsible would be held “fully accountable.” “We are committed to restoring public trust in the university,” the board statement concluded. At least a thousand students descended on the administration building about 11 p.m., chanting “Joe Paterno!” over and over, along with Penn State cheers. Many held up their smartphones to take photos or simply light up the night. A few young men climbed flag poles. About 10 police officers stood on the steps of the building, guarding it. Paterno’s son, Scott, said his father was disappointed over the decision by PSU President Graham Spanier to cancel the news conference. Addressing reporters outside his parents’ house, Scott said Joe was prepared to answer questions about Sandusky — who maintains he is innocent — and further that his father plans to coach not only Saturday’s game against Nebraska, but for the long haul. Hundreds of fans staged a raucous rally outside Paterno’s home Tuesday evening. He appeared briefly, along with some family members, and thanked the crowd for coming. “It’s hard for me to say how much this means,” the 84-year-old coach said. “I’ve lived for this place. I’ve lived for people like you guys and girls.” Asked if he was still the coach, Paterno didn’t answer but a

young woman who stood with her arm around him replied: “Now is not the time.” As he returned to his house, Paterno stopped and pumped his fists above his head, yelling, “We are ...” “Penn State!” the crowd replied. “We’re always going to be Penn State,” Paterno said. “I’m proud of you. I’ve always been proud of you. Beat Nebraska.” At an afternoon practice, managers hastily put plywood boards over an exposed fence to block photographers’ view of the field. Paterno, who earns about $1 million annually from the school, has been head coach for 46 years and part of the Penn State staff for more than six decades, and his old-school values pervade every corner of the program. A person familiar with the trustees’ discussions said support there for Paterno was “eroding,” but couldn’t gauge whether the
board would take action. The same person said Spanier has also lost support ahead of Friday’s board meeting. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the subject. While praising Spanier’s tenure at Penn State, an official of the American Council on Education, said, “The central issue for the board, which is charged with preserving and protecting the institution, is not the rearview mirror.” “It’s the institution going forward,” added Terry Hartle, senior vice president at the council, the main umbrella organization representing colleges and universities nationally. Much of the criticism surrounding Paterno has concerned his apparent failure to follow up on a report of the 2002 incident, in which Sandusky allegedly assaulted a 10-year-old boy in the showers at the team’s football complex. The eyewitness, Mike
McQueary, is currently receivers coach for the team but was a graduate assistant at the time. McQueary told Paterno about the incident the next day, and the coach notified Curley and Schultz, who in turn notified Spanier. Curley and Schultz have been charged with perjury and failure to report the incident to authorities, as required by state law. Both men, as well as Paterno, testified that they were told that Sandusky behaved inappropriately in that 2002 incident, but not to the extent of McQueary’s graphic account to a state grand jury. The same grand jury decided the testimony from Curley and Schultz, whose job at the time also gave him oversight of the campus police, were not believable. Pennsylvania Attorney General Linda Kelly said Paterno is not a target of the investigation. “As you know, the kids that were the victims, I think we ought to say a prayer for them,” Paterno said Tuesday night. Sandusky, 67, spent three decades on the Penn State staff before retiring in 1999, but continued to use school and athletic facilities — where prosecutors allege he molested several of the boys — as recently as two weeks ago. He often held football camps for youths on PSU satellite campuses and maintained an office at the Nittany Lions’ complex on the main campus. Sandusky began working with at-risk youths after founding The Second Mile charity in 1977. It now raises and spends several million dollars each year for its programs. According to Internal Revenue Service documents, the foundation last paid Sandusky in 2007, when he received $57,000 as a consultant. He publicly severed ties in 2010. Meanwhile, another potential victim has contacted authorities. The man, now an adult, contacted the department on Sunday after seeing media accounts of Sandusky’s arrest, Lt. David Young at the Montoursville station said. Investigators took a statement from him and forwarded it to the Rockview station for officers there to pursue, Young said.
STATE COLLEGE -- The cheers outside his house could be heard from blocks away. Eventually, Joe Paterno had to answer to them. Prevented from talking at his weekly press conference earlier Tuesday, Paterno spoke up after 6:30 p.m. on one of the most tumultuous days of his nearly 62 years at Penn State. Amidst reports that his long career may be nearing an end, Paterno emerged from his State College home to address the hundreds of students and fans that had congregated on his front curb. “I’m so happy to see you. I’ve lived for this place and I’ve lived for people like you guys and girls," Paterno said, engulfed on all sides by the mob. "And I’m so happy to see how strongly you feel about us and your school. All right? Paterno did not take questions, stopping only to lead a brief cheer before heading back inside. It would be his only public comment of length on a day when a New York Times report said that Paterno’s exit is being negotiated by the university after being on campus since 1950 and the Nittany Lions’ head coach since 1966. Paterno’s family called that "premature" in the following hours. Paterno’s son Scott said that retirement has not been discussed and that his father would be coaching the Nittany Lions on Saturday against Nebraska, and for the foreseeable future. “There’s no change in the head coach at Penn State,” Scott Paterno said outside his father’s home on Tuesday. “Any discussion of an exit strategy has not taken place with anyone advising Joe or with Joe himself. That’s all I can tell you. “Nothing’s changed.” The entire university has been reeling since Saturday, when former longtime assistant coach Jerry Sandusky was arraigned on 40 counts of sexual abuse of children. Athletic Director Tim Curley and an interim senior vice president, Gary Schultz, are alleged to have covered it up and face charges of perjury and failure to report. All three men have maintained their innocence through their attorneys. Curley and Schultz stepped down from their positions late Sunday night. Curley is considered to be on administrative leave. Though they are not facing charges, Joe Paterno and Penn State President Graham Spanier have come under heavy fire in recent days as people have questioned if they could have done more to bring allegations against Sandusky to light.
PRELIMINARY HEARING FOR SANDUSKY DELAYED STATE COLLEGE (AP) — Court officials are delaying a preliminary hearing that had been scheduled for today in the case of Jerry Sandusky, the former Penn State assistant football coach accused of sexually abusing eight boys over a 15-year period. The Centre County court administration said Tuesday that a new date for the proceeding had not been set. It also hasn’t been determined which district judge will preside. Sandusky is awaiting trial on 40 criminal counts related to a range of alleged abuse, including involuntary deviate sexual intercourse and aggravated indecent assault. His lawyer said Sandusky has maintained his innocence in the case that has put Penn State and the school’s football program in the spotlight. Meanwhile, Sandusky has been barred from being alone with his grandchildren under a temporary order approved by Centre County Judge Thomas Kistler on behalf of three children, the Centre Daily Times reported Tuesday.
Though Spanier has not spoken publicly since the weekend, Paterno was scheduled to have his normal weekly press conference at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday. On Monday evening, a Penn State release declared that the football season and Saturday’s game against Nebraska would be the only topics discussed. But the tenor began to change on Tuesday morning as media from across the nation arrived, and Paterno was expected to address the scandal to some extent. Just before noon, however, a Penn State spokesman was brought out to read a brief statement saying the press conference was called off. Scott Paterno told The Associated Press that the decision to cancel the press conference came from the university, and that his father wanted to speak. “I’ve never seen anything like this. It’s a feeding frenzy of the media,” said Fran Fisher, the former long-time radio voice of the Lions who has been attending Paterno’s press conferences for decades. “I’m appalled. Dismayed. Saddened. Shocked. Because I’m an old guy. I go way back with Jerry Sandusky, watching him play defensive end (at Penn State). It’s tough. It’s tough.” That feeding frenzy would only intensify as the Times report was published at roughly the same time as the press conference was canceled. Media, students and fans flocked north of campus to Paterno’s home and watched him come and go throughout the day. The biggest crowd came after Penn State’s practice. A group that started at just a few dozen grew dramatically by 6 p.m. as word of an impromptu rally spread throughout the student body.
T I M E L I N E O F A D AY L I K E N O O T H E R I N P E N N S TAT E F O O T B A L L H I S T O R Y By DEREK LEVARSE dlevarse@timesleader.com Tuesday may well go down as one of the strangest, most hectic days in the history of the Penn State football program. Public anticipation built up before Joe Paterno’s regularly scheduled press conference, expecting that some answers would finally be forthcoming regarding the alleged sexual abuse scandal and cover-up that have shaken the university to its core. That build-up began Monday afternoon as it became apparent that the 84-year-old patriarch of the football team -- and the school as a whole -- could be the only person to speak publicly on the situation. 4:19 p.m., Monday Penn State sends out its generic press release with information on Paterno’s weekly press conference. It is essentially a form letter with the opponent’s name filled in each week, providing the call-in number as well as satellite uplink information. Everything appears to be scheduled as normal. 8:20 p.m., Monday With a
huge increase in media attention surrounding the press conference, Penn State sends out an additional advisory, stating that the “primary focus of the teleconference is to answer questions related to Penn State’s senior day game with Nebraska this Saturday” and that Paterno would be “answering questions about the Nebraska game, Penn State’s season thus far and other topics related to the current college football season.” Backlash is swift. No one believes that questions will be contained to a football game, and many question why have a press conference at all if the most pressing topics will not be addressed. They say to be careful what you wish for ... Morning, Tuesday Various reporters from outside of the area who typically call into Paterno’s press conference receive a call from Penn State’s sports information office, asking if they will be attending in person this week. They are told they will have assigned seats, indicating that things will go on as planned. 9:30 a.m., Tuesday The first
reporters and media members begin to show up outside the tunnel entrance at Beaver Stadium. The press conference is scheduled to start three hours later. 11 a.m. The line to get into the stadium begins to resemble the Paternoville encampment just around the corner. 11:50 a.m. Team spokesman Jeff Nelson is more or less fed to the wolves, sent out to address a media mob that looks to have topped tripledigits. He reads a brief statement saying that the “press conference cannot be held and will not be rescheduled.” 11:51 a.m. Grumbling. 11:55 a.m. Paterno’s son Scott tells The Associated Press the decision to cancel the press conference came from the university and not his father, who had wanted to address the situation. Noon New York Times publishes report saying Paterno will not coach next season and university officials are planning his exit. 12:04 p.m. Penn State officially issues release saying press conference has been canceled.
1 p.m. Scott Paterno writes on his Twitter account that the New York Times report is “premature,” adding that there have been no discussions with his father about retirement. A brief mention of a potential press conference outside of the university is mentioned but never occurs. 1:20 p.m. Joe Paterno does not appear in his typical timeslot on the Big Ten coaches teleconference. “Unfortunately, Joe Paterno won’t be able to join the call today,” the moderator says. 1:30 p.m. Penn State players begin expressing their confusion online. “What is going on?” linebacker Nate Stupar writes. Defensive end Eric Latimore writes, “My phone is goin off the hook... ‘I don’t know nothing’ but Nebraska likes to run the ball.” 1:45 p.m. A stakeout begins at Joe Paterno’s home in State College, north of campus. Media members and students alike flock there to catch him as he heads to work. 2 p.m. Joe Paterno emerges and cuts through the thick crowd to his car. Scott Paterno says that his father plans to coach Saturday against
Nebraska. Joe Paterno tells reporters, “I know you guys have a lot of questions, and I was hoping to be able to answer them today. We’ll do it as soon as we can.” 2:15 p.m. Paterno’s car is followed to the team’s Lasch Building headquarters by media. After going inside, he eventually comes back out and departs in another car. 4:30 p.m. Paterno returns to the area ahead of the team’s practice at the adjacent Holuba Hall facility. His wife, Sue, is driving but does not stop in front of Holuba when she sees various photographers chasing after them. She makes a full circle of the compound before Joe gets out. 5:45 p.m. Students again begin to congregate at Paterno’s home, this time carrying signs of support. 6 p.m. A garage door opens at Holuba and a van driven by longtime Paterno aide Tommy Venturino emerges. Through social media, word spreads throughout the student body to meet back at Paterno’s house as a show of support. 6:15 p.m. The crowd has grown a hundred-fold. Students are running down the residential streets and past
a police car that has set up at the start of the block to prevent cars and TV trucks from getting through to the house. Pro-Penn State cheers can be heard blocks away. Paterno opens a window and yells to the crowd that he’s proud of them. 6:30 p.m. The crowd continues to chant Paterno’s name to get him to come out. The coach finally acquiesces and he walks down his front path, where he was engulfed from all sides. “I’m so happy to see you. I’ve lived for this place and I’ve lived for people like you guys and girls,” he said. “And I’m so happy to see how strongly you feel about us and your school. All right? “And as I said, whether you heard me or not, the kids who were victims ... I think we all oughta say a prayer for them. Because it’s a tough life when people do certain things to you. “Anyway, you’ve been great. Really great.” After leading a brief “We are” chant, Paterno returned to his house. Satisfied, the crowd dispersed. Almost 90 hours remain until Saturday’s game.

Premier Minister to resign Italian Premier Minister Silvio Berlusconi said for the first time Tuesday that he would resign once parliament approves economic reforms, and Greek politicians said they were close to agreeing on a new government to lead their country through painful cutbacks. Both governments are under heavy pressure to reassure financial markets that the 17-country eurozone is moving quickly to reduce crippling government debts before those debts break apart the monetary union and plunge the world into a new recession. Berlusconi’s promise to resign came during a meeting with Italian President Giorgio Napolitano after the premier lost his parliamentary majority during a routine vote earlier Tuesday. In a statement, Napolitano’s office said Berlusconi had agreed to step down once the economic reforms have passed parliament. A vote on the measures is planned for next week.

‘Occupy’ march to D.C. set Occupy Wall Street is going on the road — a two-week walk to Washington. A small group of activists plans to leave Manhattan’s Zuccotti Park at noon today and arrive by the Nov. 23 deadline for a congressional committee to decide whether to keep President Barack Obama’s extension of Bush-era tax cuts. Protesters say the cuts benefit only rich Americans. Kelley Brannon is organizing the 240-mile march through New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland with a core group of a dozen activists, picking up other marchers along the way — even if for a day, or only an hour, they say.

Syria death toll at 3,500 The death toll in the Syrian uprising has soared to at least 3,500 people, the United Nations said Tuesday, a sobering measure of the scope of a military crackdown that has bloodied city after city but failed to crush the 8month-old revolt against President Bashar Assad’s regime. Under the strain of daily killings, some Syrians see a dangerous fracturing of society as long-festering resentments over religion, sectarian identity and poverty bubble to the surface. Moreover, there were new signs that an uprising that has so far been largely unarmed is increasingly starting to fight back, threatening a rise in the bloodshed. BELLEVUE, WASH.
No leads on missing toddler Frustrated police said Tuesday they have no leads in the bizarre disappearance of a Washington state toddler, and they’ve invited his relatives to take polygraph tests in hopes of shaking loose any clues to his whereabouts. The boy, 2-year-old Sky Metalwala, was reported missing Sunday morning in Bellevue, a city of 122,000 across Lake Washington from Seattle. His mother told police she left him sleeping alone in her unlocked car for an hour after it ran out of gas, while she and her 4-year-old daughter walked to a gas station. When they returned to the car, the boy was gone, she reported.

UN: Iran work specific to nukes Report strongest sign yet that Iran seeks to build a nuclear arsenal, despite claims to the contrary. By GEORGE JAHN Associated Press
VIENNA — The U.N. nuclear atomic energy agency said Tuesday for the first time that Iran is suspected of conducting secret experiments whose sole purpose is the development of nuclear arms.
The report is the strongest sign yet that Iran seeks to build a nuclear arsenal, despite claims to the contrary. With Israel threatening a military response, the report opens the way for a new confrontation between the West and Iran. In Washington, officials said the report confirms U.S. suspicions about the military nature of Iran’s program and that the Obama administration is considering additional sanctions. The International Atomic Energy Agency outlines the sum of its knowledge on the Islamic Republic’s alleged se-
cret nuclear weapons work, including: •Clandestine procurement of equipment and design information needed to make such arms; •High explosives testing and detonator development to set off a nuclear charge; •Computer modeling of a core of a nuclear warhead; •Preparatory work for a nuclear weapons test, and •Developing and mounting a nuclear payload onto a missile that can reach Israel.
French chief overheard calling Israeli leader a liar By ANGELA CHARLTON Associated Press
PARIS — French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who has labored to improve French relations with Israel, said he “can’t stand” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and called him a liar in a chat with President Barack Obama. The conversation between Sarkozy and Obama was overheard by reporters last week at the Group of 20 summit in southern France, via headsets that were to be used for simultaneous translation of an upcoming news conference. Obama, whose remarks were heard via a French translation, was not heard objecting to Sarkozy’s characterization of Netanyahu. Through the interpreter, Obama was heard asking Sarkozy to help persuade the Palestinians to stop their efforts to gain U.N. recognition of a Palestinian state.
Several French-speaking journalists, including one from The Associated Press, overheard the comments but did not initially report them because Sarkozy’s office had asked the journalists not to turn on the headsets until the press conference began, and the comments were deemed private under French media traditions. A French website, Arret sur images, reported the fragments Tuesday. Sarkozy’s office would not comment Tuesday on the remarks, or on France’s relations with Israel. The White House and Netanyahu’s spokesman also said they had no comment. In the remarks Thursday in Cannes, Sarkozy said: “Netanyahu, I can’t stand him. He’s a liar.” AP FILE PHOTO According to the French interpreter, Obama responded, “You are sick of him, French President Nicholas Sarkozy and but I have to work with him every day.” President Obama in Cannes, France.
WASHINGTON — A conservative-leaning panel of federal appellate judges on Tuesday upheld President Barack Obama’s health care law as constitutional, helping set up a Supreme Court fight. A panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia issued a split opinion upholding the lower court’s ruling that found Congress did not overstep its authority in requiring people to buy health insurance or pay a penalty on their taxes, beginning in 2014. The requirement is the most controversial require- The Supreme ment of Oba- Court is exma’s signature domestic legis- pected to lative achieve- decide soon, ment and the perhaps withfocus of con- in days, flicting opinions from judg- whether to es across the accept apcountry. The peals from Supreme Court some earlier is expected to decide soon, rulings. perhaps within days, whether to accept appeals from some of those earlier rulings. The suit in Washington was brought by the American Center for Law and Justice, a legal group founded by evangelist Pat Robertson. It claimed the insurance mandate is unconstitutional because it forces Americans to buy a product for the rest of their lives and that it violates the religious freedom of those who choose not to have insurance because they rely on God to protect them from harm. But the court ruled that Congress had the power to pass the requirement to ensure that all Americans can have health care coverage, even if it infringes on individual liberty. “The right to be free from federal regulation is not absolute and yields to the imperative that Congress be free to forge national solutions to national problems,” Judge Laurence Silberman, an appointee of President Ronald Reagan wrote in the court’s opinion. Silberman was joined by Judge Harry Edwards, a Carter appointee. Judge Brett Kavanaugh, a former top aide to President George W. Bush who appointed him to the bench, disagreed with the conclusion without taking a position on the merits of the law.

misconduct” throughout Strong’s May trial. Strong’s attorneys say prosecutors made statements not permitted by a judge’s ruling throughout the trial, and that they presented evidence that couldn’t be backed up. The attorneys alleged the misconduct was not a legal error, but intentional. Strong now has an option to appeal his case to the state Superior Court.
WILKES-BARRE – A Luzerne County senior judge on Monday granted a request by a convicted murderer to stop going forward with his attempt to dismiss charges against him based on an alleged non-diverse jury that heard his case. Senior Judge Hugh Mundy granted the request on behalf of Senior Judge Kenneth Brown who is hearing Henry Stubbs’ case. Stubbs, 46, was convicted in 2003 of two counts of firstdegree murder in the December 2001 slayings of 33-yearold Elena Herring and her daughter, Viktoria Ivanova, 6, in their Wilkes-Barre home. In a Post Conviction Collateral Relief filing in June, Stubbs asked that charges against him be dismissed because his attorneys at the time of his 2003 trial were “ineffective” and because he has evidence that “Luzerne County officials systematically
and purposefully excluded minorities from juries where the defendants facing criminal charges were black.” In an Oct. 27 filing, Stubbs asked for his original June filing to be withdrawn because he already has raised his concerns in a federal civil lawsuit he filed in March. Because he has already made a formal complaint about his concerns, it makes the PCCR filing void, Stubbs said. WILKES-BARRE – A Luzerne County judge on Tuesday denied the request of a man convicted of first-degree murder to be granted an acquittal.

Days before trial, Selenski again seeks new attorneys Selenski cites a “displeasure and irretrievable breakdown with current counsel.” By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com
WILKES-BARRE – Less than a week before his trial is scheduled to begin with jury selection on homicide and other related charges, Hugo Selenski on Tuesday asked for new attorneys to assist him in the case. The request should be allowed even if his trial, scheduled to begin Monday, needs to be moved to another date, Selenski said. Selenski, 38, is charged in the deaths of Tammy Fassett and Michael Kerkowski in May 2002. Their bodies were unearthed from his Kingston Township property in June 2003. Selenski faces two counts each of homicide, criminal conspiracy to commit homicide, criminal solicitation to commit homicide, criminal conspiracy to commit robbery, robbery and one count of theft by unlawful taking. If convicted of first-degree murder, Selenski could face the death penalty. He is representing himself at the trial, with assist-
ance by stand-by counsel. The trial is scheduled to begin with jury selection on Nov. 14, with testimony beginning Nov. 29. In Tuesday’s filing, through standby attorney David Lampman, Selenski asked for substitute counsel, for the second time, citing a “displeasure and irretrievable breakdown with current counsel.” Selenski states that because he has not given up the allowance of standby counsel, which includes attorneys John Pike and Robert Buttner, that substitute counsel are “customarily granted to defendants in Luzerne County” his request, too, should be granted. “Substitute counsel should be appointed even if it requires a continuance (of trial) to allow substitute counsel to process the extensive (evidence) and to prepare a defense since the case is a (capital murder trial),” Selenski wrote. He stated the appointment of new counsel is “essential to a fair trial.” Luzerne County Judge Joseph Van Jura, who is presiding over the case, scheduled a hearing for this afternoon to address Selenski’s request.
Another fire at Grimes, this time at tissue plant By MATT HUGHES mhughes@timesleader.com
PITTSTON TWP. – A paper products plant caught fire Tuesday in the Grimes Industrial Park. Pittston Township Volunteer Fire Department Chief Tony Angelella said the fire started around noon in a paper compactor at the Cascade Tissue plant on Sathers Drive and spread to the building’s roof. It took about two hours for firefighters to bring the blaze under control. “It took us a while to get it under control because the paper was compacted tight,” Angelella said. Keith Nicholas, human resources manager for the plant, said the plant’s roughly 250 employees evacuated the building without incident and were back to work by the end of the day.
“Everyone’s back to work already,” Nicholas said after 5 p.m. “We were down because we had to clean up for about a half a day.… No one got hurt or anything, just a few wet feet.” Nicholas said Cascade Tissue isn’t sure how the fire started. “The compactor is where it started, but we’re still not sure why it started there,” Nicholas said. Angelella said his department is still investigating the cause of the fire. The factory was the second building inside the Grimes Industrial Park to catch fire in November. The Maui Cup building caught fire shortly after 8 a.m. last Thursday. Angelella said that fire, which began in an exhaust duct above a piece of machinery, was declared accidental by a state police fire marshal last week.

Ex-Pa. rep found guilty in scandal By PETER JACKSON Associated Press
HARRISBURG — A oncepowerful former Pennsylvania Republican lawmaker was convicted Tuesday in a corruption case focusing on the illegal use of millions of taxpayer dollars and state employees for political campaign work. Former Rep. Brett Feese, a onetime House Republican Campaign Committee chairman, was found guilty of all 40 charges against him. Prosecutors said Feese was involved in hiring out-of-state consultants with public money and diverting legislative employees to work on voter-information databases and other high-tech tools to help elect more Republicans to the Legislature. Jill Seaman, Feese’s former legislative aide and co-defendant, was convicted on identical charges in the scandal, which also ensnared a former House speaker. “There are issues which are appropriate for review by the Superior Court. I’m sure we’ll be pursuing relief in that form in due course,” said Feese’s attorney, Joshua Lock. Dauphin County Judge Richard Lewis tentatively set sentencing for Jan. 9. Feese, 57, who served six terms in the House representing his Lycoming County district, and Seaman, 59, of Dauphin, were the first Republicans to stand trial among 25 people whom the state Attorney General’s Office has arrested since it began investigating the Legislature in early 2007, while Republican Gov. Tom Corbett was the attorney general.

OTHER OPINION: CELLS AND DRIVING
Texting ban gets half the job done
I
F THE LEGISLATURE were a bakery, it would soon go out of business. The latest proof comes from the half-loaf of a bill on texting pulled out of the political oven in Harrisburg and sent to Gov. Tom Corbett for his consumption and approval. As far as it goes, this is a health-enhancing offering. Senate Bill 314 not only imposes a much-needed texting-whiledriving ban in Pennsylvania, but also makes sending, receiving or reading a text message a primary offense. That means police can pull over someone for this offense alone, which was not the case if the bill – as originally intended – had made this a secondary offense requiring another infringement to trigger police action. With up to a $50 fine for those who disobey, texting will soon become expensive as well as stupid.
But before anybody congratulates lawmakers on what they accomplished with a texting ban, let’s consider what they failed to do. In flagrant defiance of common sense, they did not take the extra step of banning the use of hand-held cell phones while driving. That provision was removed from the bill. One study found that motorists were four times more likely to have an accident if speaking on a cell phone, a rate comparable to being drunk. Yet lawmakers continue to defer to the interests of cell phone companies while pandering to their constituents. The result will be more crashes and injuries and more insurance claims until they pile up enough to spur action in Harrisburg, as usual the home of halfbaked ideas and half-loaves that are supposed to satisfy the appetite for progress.

Honor state’s veterans by visiting museums, other sites MORE THAN 1 million Pennsylvanians are military veterans, brave men and women who put their lives on the line to serve our state and country. Veterans Day will be observed Friday, and as Pennsylvania’s first lady and ambassador for the state’s wonderful tourism experiences, I can think of no better tribute than to pay a visit to one of the many military museums around the commonwealth. These sites are educational and inspirational, and they are ideal places to learn more about the service and sacrifices of Pennsylvania veterans. One of the most symbolic places to honor Pennsylvania veterans is at the aptly named Pennsylvania Veterans Museum in Media, where the stories of America’s conflicts are told through the eyes of veterans themselves. These firsthand accounts are meant to educate, inform and preserve the past so future generations can continue to learn from them. Near State College, the Pennsylvania Military Museum in historic Boalsburg tells the stories of diverse state residents who served our country. A visit to this Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission site is always inspiring. This year marks the beginning of the Civil War’s sesquicentennial celebration, and there are several places to pay tribute to soldiers who fought in that conflict.

Discover the stories of the blue and gray at the National Civil War Museum in Harrisburg and view the struggle as a timeline, from issues straining the nation through the war’s conclusion at Appomattox Court House, Va. One of the oldest and best-known landmarks in Pittsburgh, the majestic Soldiers and Sailors Museum, is the nation’s only memorial building dedicated to honoring the men and women of all branches of the military. It is especially thought-provoking in that its exhibits detail the effects that military conflicts have had on our society. In Carlisle, the U.S. Army Heritage & Education Center celebrates its 10th anniversary this month; the center is dedicated to educating and preserving the legacy of the men and women who have served their nation as soldiers.

ow that the Occupy Wall Street movement is gaining momentum, we should look at the causes and solutions to a system that a majority of the population apparently agrees is not working. In 1913 the elite took control of the U.S. economy by adoption of the Federal Reserve Act. The Federal Reserve System is seemingly a cartel of private, for-profit banks. It is not federal, nor has it any reserve. The fractional banking system allows the banks to lend you 10 times the amount they actually possess. This means that 90 percent of your loan does not exist except as some figures on a computer screen. The banks charge interest on this nonexistent money. The government borrows money from this cartel and has taxpayers pay it “back” with interest. It is a perfect scheme. Let’s get rid of the fractional banking system. It is immoral. I propose a new system that has no ties to banks/business. Have money backed up

Buy American products and help save U.S. jobs
O
again by precious metals. Banks can function as institutions in which one can keep money safe. New loans will be subject only to a fee or to low interest. Existing debt, private or national, can be paid off on a “fractional pay off system” basis, so that whenever you pay off an amount, your debt will be lowered by 10 times that amount. This way we can solve the debt issues within years! A clean slate. The economy will boom as people again have money to stimulate it.
ne of the ways that more jobs could be created in the United States is if the majority of the citizens would start noticing where the products they buy are made. If Americans were to stop buying products made in foreign countries, and started buying more products that are made in the United States, that not only would help the U.S. economy, but also would help create more jobs for Americans. Some of the past and present politicians in Washington, D.C., are to blame for the exodus of American companies and jobs to foreign countries because of cheaper wages, more profits and less corporate tax. Jeff Immelt of GE is a perfect example of what is wrong with America. GE is allowed to employ more people in China than it does in the United States and then is allowed to get away with not paying U.S. corporate taxes. No wonder people are angry with what is going on in this country.

meet in the classroom with Misericordia University students and then presented an evening lecture Greenwald “Arab Spring/ Europe Fall.” Greenwald, now living in McLean, Va., said that while war sometimes is necessary, he believes it should not be the first option. “I think the first line of defense in any situation should be diplomacy,” he said. During his classroom visit with students majoring in the university’s new Government, Law and National Security program he discussed careers in public service. “Those words have a meaning,” he said of a life in the military, government, education and other public realms. “That’s a high calling.” Brian F. Carso, an assistant professor of history, said Greenwald brings a wealth of knowledge that can help students better understand “the interconnectedness of global events, and realize their own proximity to things happening in other regions of the world.” “Mr. Greenwald’s insights on people and politics around the world teach students to consider their role as participants in global affairs, and also sparks their interest in career opportunities in fields like diplomacy and international business,” said Carso.

who served with the U.S. Army in Vietnam in 1967 and 1968. “I wasn’t nervous but excited. I heard I was going to get a great veteran and I did,” Filipski said about Sweppenheiser. “I learned so much from him, he really brought a new perspective of war to me because I never really thought about what he went through when he was my age.” Sweppenheiser said his experience in Vietnam was too much to talk about in a few minutes. He has been interviewed by Filipski twice and is scheduled for a third meeting soon. Balester said she set up the project for her students, including the education class taught by Robert Gardner, after talking to a freshman about a veteran at a country club.
“The student said he was really crabby, and I said to him if it wasn’t for veterans like him, you’d be speaking in German or Japanese. It would be a different world today,” Balester said. Balester and Gardner thought it would benefit freshman students to learn about the world’s history of war from veterans. “There was one veteran who broke out in tears,” Gardner said. “It was very hard for him to bring it back to life. But he did and I think it worked out very well; it was a very difficult experience for him to speak about his history.” Balestersaidthoseveteranswho were interviewed will receive a copy of the students’ oral presentation and report.
When he was a 12-year-old student at the Wyoming Seminary Day School, Jon Greenwald read “Berlin Diary,” a first-hand account by CBS radio correspondent William L. Shirer of the rise of the Third Reich and its road to war. That 1941 book introduced the world to the young Kingston resident and he never looked back. He went on to Princeton and then Harvard Law School before working for more than 30 years in the U.S. Foreign Service. The past 11 years he has been at the International Crisis Group of Washington, D.C., where he serves as vice president. That organization, according to its website, is “an independent, non-partisan source of analysis and advice to governments, and intergovernmental bodies like the United Nations, European Union and World Bank, on the prevention and resolution of deadly conflict.” Shirer’s book so inspired Greenwald that he wrote his own book – “Berlin Witness” -- based on observations from his four years spent working in the U.S. Embassy in East Berlin. Greenwald, 68, returned to the Wyoming Valley on Tuesday to

WILKES-BARRE – Freshman education and history students at Wilkes University are not just reading about wars and military service from textbooks. Now they get the history lesson from veterans who experienced combat and warfare. The community service project assigned students to interview veterans from World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam and Desert Storm. Each student was assigned a veteran they must interview three times. The students then must present an oral history presentation at the end of the semester. Veterans who are taking part in the semester-long project range in age from 28 to 98. Students and veterans came together on Tuesday for a brunch in the Henry Student Center sponsored by professor Ellen Flint of Wilkes. “It’s a celebration and recognition for them. When you think about it, there really isn’t enough that we could ever do,” said Marcia Balester, assistant professor of education, who set up the project with Megan Valkenburg, community services coordinator at Wilkes.

The Federal Emergency Management Administration along with the Federal Communications Commission and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are conducting the test. “This will be a simultaneous test across the country at once,” said Luzerne County Emergency Management Coordinator Steve Bekanich. “The weekly test may occur on Tuesday morning in the Wilkes-Barre area and a Thursday night in Pittsburgh. This test will occur at once across the country.” Bekanich said the only role locally will be to report any issues or problems to the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Administration. “These tests of national alert systems are very important for public awareness and preparedness during emergency situations,” said Wilkes-Barre Mayor Tom Leighton in a news release. “The recent flood event taught every city resident the value of being prepared for a crisis and these tests should be noted and taken seriously in the event it ever needs to be activated in a real emergency.” EAS interruptions frequently occur locally when bad weather is happening or is in the immediate forecast. When heavy rain caused the Susquehanna River to flood at a record crest of 42.66 feet on Sept. 9 in Wilkes-Barre, the alert system frequently broadcasted across local television and radio stations. “It is our primary way of how we get information out,” Bekanich said.

JERRY SANDUSKY SEX ABUSE SCANDAL
Paterno is not at fault
Forgive Joe Paterno: When he looked at Jerry Sandusky, he didn’t see a dirty old man in a raincoat. He saw a friend, a close colleague, and a churchy do-gooder. He saw a nice guy. You’d have seen the same thing. Think not? You think you can see a clear-cut difference between an alleged child molester and a youth coach? How exactly? By the hunchback and the M-shaped scar on his forehead
OPINION SALLY JENKINS that says, “I’m a molester”? It’s sorely tempting to assign Paterno chief blame in the Penn State case, to say that he should have seen Sandusky for what he allegedly was. Unfortunately, the truth is, youth coaches from California to Rhode Island have molested children at every level, sandlot to USA Swimming, and we hardly ever recognize the pervert. We usually shake his
hand. “We would prefer he have some kind of trait,” former FBI agent Ken Lanning says. “That he be ugly or pockmarked so we can say, ‘Oooh, look out for him.’ “ Make no mistake, there is deep guilt to be assigned at Penn State, and we will get to that in a minute, to the utterly negligent behavior of university president Graham Spanier and his underlings Gary Schulz and Tim Curley. But first we have to realize that we all have trouble believing that mentors could be
molesters. According to Lanning, who spent 35 years profiling pedophiles, a hallmark of “acquaintance molesters” is that they tend to be deeply trusted and even beloved. They are not strangers, but “one of us.” They are expert at seducing children and are almost as expert at seducing adults, including parents, into believing in them. “How do we say to kids, ‘The only way these people differ is, they will be nicer to you than See PATERNO, Page 5B

Whitehall smothers the Spartans
VOLLEYBALL
Familiarity breeds Royals’ success
Julia Wignot picks up the pace her older sister Monica once set for Redeemer. By VAN ROSE For The Times Leader
ATHENS—It’s nothing new for a Wignot to lead a Holy Redeemer girls volleyball team to the state tournament. Former All-Stater Monica Wignot, who is currently a starter for the University of Pittsburgh, had done it three consequtive times during her high school career. But Tuesday night, it was her REDEEMER younger sister Julia’s turn to steal the spotTOWANDA light. The 5-foot-7 outside hitter racked up 18 kills and 12 service points to lead the unbeaten Royals to a 3-1 victory over District 4 champion Towanda in the opening round in the PIAA Class 2A State Playoffs. The scores were 25-23, 15-25, 2520 and 25-17. Holy Redeemer (19-0) advanced to Friday’s Final Eight of the state tournament at Central York High School. Wignot turned in a superb, allaround performance against a gritty Towanda team that took the Royals to the limit before losing game one, and bested Redeemer in game three. “Wignot was absolutely unbelievable tonight,” said Holy Redeemer coach Jack Kablick. “She is a great player and she definitely had the best game of her career tonight. She was everywhere.” Wignot literally took over in game four. She had several big hits that enabled the Roayls to take control of the game early on. Wignot put the game out of reach with two straight kills that gave Redeemer a 23-16 lead and the Royals closed out the game on a pair of unforced errors by Towanda. Wignot said that the Royals were totally focused for the match against Towanda (19-2). “Our intensity was high and we all played well together,” Wignot said. “We lost game three because we made too many mistakes, but our intensity was high throughout the match.” Holy Redeemer managed to prevail despite a terriffic performance by Towanda senior middle hitter Tori Welliver, who single-handedly carried the Black Knights on her shoulders. The 6’0” Welliver was unstoppable at the net, posting 23 kills, four blocks and 13 digs. Unfortunately for Towanda, the Black Knights struggled whenever Welliver rotated to the back row.

Valley West is shut down by Zephyrs in state playoffs By JAY MONAHAN For The Times Leader
WRIGHT TWP. – The emotional high Wyoming Valley West had been coasting on for the past week quickly eroded in a matter of two minutes. There wasn’t much the Spartans’ field hockey team could do to stop it either. District 11 runner-up Whitehall pounded on the door early and often, producing three penalty corners in the first two minutes. On the third, Kayla Beck found a wide-
4
open lane on the left side of the circle and drilled it WHITEHALL into the back of the net. After that, a suffocating Whitehall defense did its job to advance the WYOMING VALLEY WEST Zephyrs to the second round of the PIAA Class 3A playoffs with a 4-0 victory over Wyoming Valley West. That pesky Zephyr defense stymied the District 2 champion Spartans throughout the night. Wyoming Valley West strug-

gled to bring the ball into the penalty circle and stood at an 8-1 disadvantage in shots fired through the first half. “We wanted a championship so we’ve got to focus on the positives,” said Wyoming Valley West coach Linda Fithian. “They just didn’t come to play tonight. And that’s what happens when you play a good team.” Whitehall’s defense not only held the Spartan offense to a shutout, it also converted its stops into goals. Kayla Cunningham manufactured the Zephyrs’ sec-
ond goal at the 17:18 mark in the first half on a breakaway from an intercepted pass. “We’ve been stressing that all season,” said Whitehall coach Jenn Bodnar. “So the defense starts with the forwards coming back on angles.” Heralded by the defensive unit of Megan Berner, Hannah Millen and Christina Harrison, the Whitehall defense limited the Spartans to one penalty corner, compared to the Zephyrs’ 12.

Seminary keeps its season alive with a late rally against Donegal

After getting the Blue Knights on the board in WYOMING the first half, Sebia inSEMINARY spired a lethargic Sem team with a sharp shot from outide the right post to tie the game, 2-2, DONEGAL with 5:50 to play. “It’s all team chemistry,” Sebia said. “I just happened to be in the right place at the right time.” A short time later, Sem struck again. Romanowski, another senior, backhanded a shot in front of the goal that ticked off the stick of sophomore Lekowitz before sailing into the net, giving the Blue Knights the winning score with 4:24 to play.
KINGSTON – With their final season slipping away, the Wyoming Seminary seniors vowed to play another day. “We didn’t want to go home,” Ann Romanowski said. Instead, the Blue Knights are going to the second round of states. AshLeigh Sebia and Mallory Lekowitz scored two goals 86 seconds apart as Sem staged a late rally to dash past Donegal, 3-2 in a PIAA Class 2A playoff opener at Spartan Stadium. “It was weird,” Sebia, a senior, said. “All at once, as a team, all of us felt like we were not going home tonight. “This was not going to be our last time playing with each other.” She made sure it wasn’t.

ON THE MARK By Mark Dudek For The Times Leader
It’s a less than thrilling last Wednesday night card of the year this evening at the Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. But once October rolls around, unfortunately lackluster fields and programs are scraped together, especially mid-week cards, thus a weak slate is on tap for tonight. Still in any case there’s always the potential to make some money on any particular race. So find the race that you like the most, invest, and maybe come out ahead and build your budget for closing weekend. Good luck to all! BEST BET: QUILLZ (1ST) VALUE PLAY: CAMMI PLACE (7TH)

ST. LOUIS — Former Boston Red Sox manager Terry Francona has interviewed with the St. Louis Cardinals for their manager opening, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Tuesday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because no announcement was made. Francona managed the Red Sox for eight seasons and left after they wasted a nine-game September lead in the AL wild-card race. St. Louis is seeking a replacement for Tony La Russa, who retired two days after winning his second World Series in 16 seasons with the Cardinals. More interviews are planned for Wednesday, believed to be with third base coach Jose Oquendo and Hall of Fame second baseman Ryan Sandberg, who managed the Phillies’ Triple-A team last season. St. Louis previously interviewed Mike Matheny, Joe McEwing and Chris Maloney. Matheny and Maloney have organizational ties and McEwing played for St. Louis. The 48-year-old Oquendo has been the third base coach the last dozen years. He played his final 10 major league seasons with the Cardinals from 1986-95 when he was nicknamed the “Secret Weapon” as a nod to his versatility. St. Louis has received permission from the Phillies to talk with Sandberg, ruled out earlier for the managing job with the Cubs, the team he starred for from 1982-97. Mike Maddux to interview with Cubs CHICAGO — Texas Rangers pitching coach Mike Maddux is next up as the Chicago Cubs search for a new manager. Maddux is slated to interview today. Milwaukee Brewers hitting coach Dale Sveum and Philadelphia Phillies bench coach Pete Mackanin have already been interviewed to replace Mike Quade, who was fired by new president of baseball operations Theo Epstein. Maddux pitched for nine teams in a 15-year major league career that ended in 2000. He became pitching coach of the Milwaukee Brewers in 2003, then took the same job with Texas before the 2009 season and has helped the Rangers win back-to-back AL pennants. The Cubs are also expected to interview Cleveland bench coach Sandy Alomar Jr. Maddux withdrew from consideration for the Red Sox manager’s vacancy, citing the distance between Boston and his family in the Dallas area. Red Sox to interview three BOSTON — The Boston Red Sox plan to interview Torey Lovullo and Gene Lamont for their managerial opening. They team said Tuesday they will be interviewed this week along with Cleveland bench coach Sandy Alomar Jr., whose interview Wednesday was announced earlier. Terry Francona left as manager two days after the regular season ended. Lovullo, who will be interviewed Friday, managed the Red Sox Triple-A team at Pawtucket in 2010 and was first base coach this year for the Toronto Blue Jays. Lamont, third base coach of the Detroit Tigers since 2006, had that job with Boston in 2001. He managed the Chicago White Sox from 1992-95 and Pittsburgh Pirates from 19972000. The Red Sox already have interviewed Philadelphia Phillies bench coach Pete Mackanin and Milwaukee Brewers hitting coach Dale Sveum.

FIELD HOCKEY
Greenwood turns tables, clips Comets overtime By JOHN MEDEIROS jmedeiros@timesleader.com
HUMMELSTOWN -- The numbers showed total domination. The play was dictated by the team in the red uniforms. Yet a little backhanded flick was enough to end Crestwood’s season. Greenwood avenged last year’s loss to the Comets in state play with a 3-2 overtime shocker at Lower Dauphin Middle School on Tuesday night in the first round of the PIAA Class 2A field hockey tournament. “We were getting shots, creating opportunities,” Crestwood coach Elvetta Gemski said. “We just did not finish. All the credit has to go
to Greenwood. They always came right back, and in overtime, they were able to execute on a corner.” The victory sends the Wildcats (19-1-2), the District 3 runner-up, to the quarterfinals on Saturday against either Villa Marie or Manheim Central. Crestwood ends its season 21-4. “This a great feeling. It feels like we stole one,” Greenwood coach Kent Houser said. After a pair of Crestwood penalty corners in overtime failed to get a shot on goal, Greenwood came up the field and earned its first corner in 13 minutes. Lauren Fried started the play to Tompkins at the top of the circle. Tompkins’ shot was deflected in front by a
Crestwood defender to Fried at the right post. She tipped the ball across the goal to Hattie Kuhns, who batted the waist-high ball with her stick reversed into the goal to win the game. “That reverse stick tip there, she’d been practicing that every day this week,” Houser said of Kuhns. “When I saw that ball come up to her, I was thinking ‘that’s a goal.’” For the third consecutive game, Anna Dessoye scored for the Comets on a penalty stroke. A sure goal on a penalty corner by Chandler Ackers was blocked by the leg of Taylor Tompkins, earning the Comets the one-on-one shot. Dessoye dented the twine over goalie
Katie Osborne’s right shoulder to give Crestwood a 1-0 lead. Crestwood scored on another of its 20 corners during the second half, as Jess Newak took Dessoye’s pass at the top of the circle and dished to her left to Ackers, who drove a low shot under the extended left leg of Osborne with 11 minutes remaining to give Crestwood a 2-1 lead. “I told them before overtime that they had been pretty resilient,” Houser said. “They (Crestwood) are very aggressive offensively, and I think we were pretty good as a team defensively. And we did our best job all season on our corner offense, even though we didn’t have many.”
Both Comets leads were shortlived. Greenwood twice followed with goals less than five minutes after Crestwood’s markers. Osborne made 19 saves, and made them look simple. On shots she did look challenged on, her defense backed her up. Tompkins had the foul for the stroke and also had another defensive save with 14 minutes left in regulation on a corner drive by Casey Cole. Osborne found the goal posts to be there for her as well. Dessoye had a rocket clang off the crossbar early in the second half. And with two minutes left in regulation Maury Cronauer was set up by Marissa Surdy and Lindsay Hischak, but caught the right post
with her shot. “It’s been a great year. We took it as long as we could,” Gemski said. “You’re just a person down in overtime – you don’t have your full defense (on a corner). And that was just a well-executed corner.” Crestwood had a 21-7 shots advantage and a 20-6 corners advantage. Greenwood was called for two green cards for unsportsmanlike conduct – one on the team and one on Houser.

Last game for seniors to be stars
Rookie center’s goal lifts Devils over ’Canes The Associated Press
NEWARK, N.J. — Rookie center Adam Henrique scored at 16:41 of the third period to lift the New Jersey Devils to a 3-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday night. The Devils earned their third straight win and the Hurricanes dropped their third straight. Henrique inadvertently sent Joni Pitkanen’s pass past Martin Brodeur for a goal that tied the game at 2-2 at 6:06 of the third period. But Henrique made up for that by skating around Hurricanes goaltender Cam Ward and sliding the puck under Ward for the game-winning goal. It was the rookie’s second straight game-winner after scoring in overtime to beat Winnipeg on Saturday. Dainius Zubrus and Petr Sykora also scored for New Jersey while Brandon Sutter scored a short-handed goal for Carolina.

“Number two (Welliver) is definitely the best competiton that we have faced all season,” Wignot said. “She did a great job of scoring and our defense could have been better.” Redeemer also got an excellent performance from 5-11 senior middle hitter Alli Griswald, who had 30 kills and seven service points. Griswald said the Royals came back with a vengeance in game four because they were mad at themselves for losing game three. “In game three, we just let them get too far ahead and it reached a point where we couldn’t catch up,” Griswald said. “Welliver really carried Towanda all night, and particularly in game three.” Redeemer also got an excellent performance from 5-11 sophomore middle hitter Nicole Slaboski, who had eight kills and six service points. Slaboski was a major force in game two, when she posted four kills that helped the Royals take control of the game. “I thought we played extremely well as a team and I felt like I really stepped my game up tonight,” Slaboski said. “Wignot played a great game and was a very important factor.” Junior setter Biz Eaton also came up big for Redeemer with 50 assists. She also had eight digs and nine service points. Sarah Warnagiris pitched in with seven kills. For Towanda, Ali Wickwire matched six kills, four blocks and 10 digs while setter Alysha Grimes had 32 assists and 12 digs. “Ever since last summer, our goal has been to return to the state tournament again,” said Griswald. “We’ve accomplished that goal, but now we have one more.”

WASHINGTON — Michael Ryder scored twice, Adam Burish had the tiebreaking goal early in the third period, and the surprising Dallas Stars beat Washington to snap the Capitals’ six-game home winning streak.

Burish put Dallas ahead to stay at 34 seconds of the third period, and Jamie Benn and Eric Nystrom scored in a 32second span to make it 5-2 with 11:55 left.

Smokin’ Joe Frazier was a true heavyweight champ George Foreman’s crushing right uppercut connected for the first time in Round 1 and, suddenly, the heavyweight champion of the world was on the canvas. At ringside, the shocking sight sent Howard Cosell into a frenzy. “Down goes Frazah! Down goes Frazah! Down goes Frazah!” Cosell screamed into his ABC television microphone. Across the ring, Foreman was thinking one thing: Please don’t let Joe Frazier get up. “I saw him get up and I said to myself ‘Oh boy, he’s going to get me now,” Foreman recalled Tuesday during a telephone interview. “You didn’t want him getting up, and you really didn’t want him getting up mad.” Get up Frazier did, only to go down again and again. Six times in all before the bell could sound to end the second round. Yet there he was still, out on his feet but still upright and ready for more. Frazier wasn’t going to

man had done before — beat the great Ali. If that wasn’t enough, he knocked Ali down in the 15th round with one of his classic left hooks to seal the deal. I can’t go nowhere where it’s not mentioned,” Frazier said. “That was the greatest thing that ever happened in my life.” He fought Ali the way he fought everyone, with his chin planted on his opponent’s shoulder, because that was the only way he could fight. Frazier barely stood 5-foot-10, never weighed more than 205 or so. He wasn’t going to beat people with his physical skills, so he figured out a way to keep relentless pressure on until he could find a way to land a left hook that surely was one of the most beautiful punches in boxing. It didn’t work against Foreman because Foreman was simply too big, too powerful. Ali found a way to beat him in their final two fights, too, including a fight so epic that boxing people simply shake their heads when asked what happened at the Thrilla in Manila. Ali would later say it was the
fight, a second knockout loss to Foreman. He would burn through all the riches he made in the ring, ending up in an apartment over his gym in Philadelphia. But he loved to make appearances, loved to be with fans, as he was in September when he signed memorabilia in Las Vegas. “Joe Frazier, sharp as a razor,” he told them. Ali put out a statement saying he would always remember Frazier with respect and admiration, something Frazier surely would have scoffed at. In the end, he’ll go down as one of the great heavyweights ever, a man who fought hard in Ali’s shadow, then fought even harder to get out of it. “All he wanted to do was beat up Muhammad Ali one more time,” Foreman said. “Maybe someday in heaven he’ll have a chance to do it.” Tim Dahlberg is a national sports columnist for The Associated Press.

When Frazier returned home, his children asked why the other kids at school were saying the same thing. “Joe could never forgive him for that,” King said over the phone. “But you have to know the times, the race struggle in America. Joe couldn’t understand why some of the blacks looked at him with disdain and then extolled Muhammad Ali. But Smokin’ Joe was an integral part of history. That fight changed things for a lot of people. It changed the respect paid when people would look at other people of color.” That fight changed things for Frazier, too. Neither he nor Ali were ever the same after the brutal bout, and Frazier would have only one more meaningful

Penn State football coach Joe Paterno is greeted by his wife, Sue Paterno, after he arrived at his home Tuesday in State College, Pa. Paterno’s support among the Penn State board of trustees was described as ‘eroding’ , threatening to end the 84-year-old coach’s career.
administrator didn’t read the long literature that says this kind of “horsing around” is how child molesters “groom” victims, draw them closer and and wear away their inhibitions? Lanning’s manual says, “Loyalty to the leader and group, competition among boys, a system of rewards and recognition, and indoctrination through oaths and rituals can all be used to control, manipulate, and motivate victims. Leaders in such organizations should be carefully screened and closely monitored.” We need to ask ourselves what the worst sex abuse stories of the past few years have in common. Sports are hardly the only area deviants infiltrate; but they are one in which identifying them is made even harder by the tendency to consider identification an act of disloyal-
ty, because it might damage an iconic franchise. And that is a hallmark of institutions that fail to protect victims. You want a profile of a place that harbors a profiled molester? Here it is: “This is something that can happen to all institutions, but it is worse in organizations that have a certain aura about them,” Lanning says. “Two of the largest organizations in this country that have the biggest problem with this are the Catholic Church and the Boy Scouts. When you have that image, a program idolized as pure, the harder it is to admit you’ve made a mistake. If you have this need to appear to be perfect, the harder it is to admit that you made an error in judgment.” Sally Jenkins is a columnist for The Washington Post.
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Mike McQueary, who allegedly witnessed sexual abuse of a minor by former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky in 2002, remains a member of Penn State’s coaching staff and is expected to be on the sideline for Saturday’s home game against Nebraska. McQueary’s father, John, told The Philadelphia Inquirer on Tuesday that his son, the team’s wide receivers coach, was coaching at practice this week and, as far as he knew, would be on the sideline for the final home game oftheseasonforthe8-1NittanyLions. McQueary, who is in his 12th season on the staff and eighth as wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator, later was spotted at practice on Tuesday. A 28-year-old graduate assistant at the time of the alleged incident, McQueary has been criticized by some for, according to the grand jury presentment, not taking further action after alerting head coach Joe Paterno. John McQueary said that he has been speaking to his son every day and that, given the circumstances, his son stands by his actions in 2002, which were in large part at the direction of his father. According to the grand jury presentment,afterallegedlywitnessing the incident, McQueary went to his office and called his father, who told him to leave the building and go home. The next day, McQueary phoned Paterno and then visited the coach at his home, according to the grand jury presentment. When asked how his son was
Bowden: ’I just hate it’ TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (MCT) — Former Florida State coach Bobby Bowden weighed in on the Penn State drama Tuesday afternoon, after news began circulating early in the day that Nittany Lions coach Joe Paterno could be nearing the end of his long tenure there. Paterno’s role in an apparent sex-assault cover-up has led some to call for the 84-year-old’s ouster. Jerry Sandusky, Paterno’s former defensive coordinator is in the middle of a saga involving accusations that he sexually assaulted and molested underage children in Penn State facilities. Instead of telling authorities, Paterno only informed his bosses when he learned of one alleged incident of assault. “I just hate it,” Bowden said in a report from the Daily Collegian, Penn State’s school newspaper. “Whatever happens, I don’t think I’m going to like. I just have to wait to see what’s going to happen.” Bowden, who turned 82 on Tuesday, has been linked with Paterno for years because of the respect both seemed to command from the college football community. They sit near the top of FBS football’s all-time wins list.
holding up, John McQueary, standing at the door of his State College home, said, “I think he’s doing as well as he can be right now.” John McQueary could not comment on the case itself because it is still under investigation. “I want the process to unfold as processes do, and the truth will come out in the laundry,” he said.
GOLF NOTES
Tour commissioner Finchem has eye on Asia, South America for 2015 By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer
SYDNEY — The only two continents where the Presidents Cup has not been played are Asia and South America, which is likely to change when the next one goes overseas in 2015. And while Asia appears to have more appeal, South America might be more critical. A record four Asian players are on this year’s International team — K.J. Choi, Y.E. Yang, K.T. Kim and Ryo Ishikawa — and PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem said Asia is “becoming a bigger part of what the Presidents Cup is all about.” “We are looking hard at Asia,” he said. But when pressed about which Asian country might be best suited to host the Presidents Cup, Finchem had his eyes on another event — the
Olympics in Brazil in 2016. “When you look at the Olympic date sitting there in ’16, and everybody is gearing toward that, you’ve sort of got to draw some conclusions as to where we’ll be in 2015,” he said. Golf’s return to the Olympics is not guaranteed to be for long. The sport gets only one chance to shine before the next International Olympic Committee vote on whether to keep golf in the games, so it’s important that it is received well in Brazil. There had been some discussion about taking a World Golf Championship to South America ahead of the Olympics, such as the Cadillac Championship at Doral. “We’ve discussed that a little bit as a possibility,” Finchem said. “There are some other things we could do down there as well. We were hopeful we’ll
see some daylight here in terms of when the golf course will be ready so we know we’ll have a place to play, and by ’15. Once we know that’s going to happen, then we can start to work on real options.” Finchem said if the golf course — the architect is to be chosen in late December — is not ready before 2016, then the first event would be the Olympics. Ideally, it could be ready in time for another event. “We need it ready by ’15, which means it needs to get going,” he said. OVERLOOKED: Luke Donald has been No. 1 in the world since the end of May. He has won four times around the world, and he likely will be voted PGA Tour player of the year. Apparently, that’s still not enough to get on Greg Norman’s
radar screen. Norman was asked Monday who he thought was the best player in the world regardless of the world ranking. “I’m going through three or four players right now. That’s how tough it is,” Norman said. “I don’t think there is one guy out there like Tiger used to be out there, and that’s again a testament of the validation of why I think the game of golf is so good right now.” NO COMEBACK: The PGA Tour awards ballot are now in the mail, though they might be shorter than previous years. Tour officials have decided not to submit any candidates as comeback player of the year. The Players Advisory Council is responsible for suggesting names on the awards ballot. However, there’s an exception with the comeback player nomi-
nees decided by PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem and the four players on the tour policy board. “We just thought it originally was an award that focused on a player who had an unusual injury, an injury that was careerthreatening and he comes back from it,” Finchem said in Shanghai. “And that morphed into having three or four players on the ballot that had some minor situations occur. We were asking players to decide who should be the bigger comeback.” Finchem said a few years ago, the PAC and the policy board decided to leave the award up to him and his staff. WORLD-CLASS WINNERS: Perhaps no other tournaments in the world offer better odds of getting a high-ranked winner than the World Golf Championships. They usually invited the
top 50 players, although three of them also have lesser-known players from other tours. Even so, Martin Kaymer strengthened the trend by winning the HSBC Champions. In the 13-year history of the series, only four players ranked outside the top 50 have won a World Golf Championship. Geoff Ogilvy was No. 53 when he won the Match Play in 2006 at La Costa. Kevin Sutherland was No. 65 when he won the 2002 Match Play at La Costa. Steve Stricker was No. 91 when he won the Match Play Championship in 2001 in Australia, the event where some two dozen top players stayed home. Craig Parry is the only player outside the top 100 to win a WGC, at No. 118 when he captured the 2002 NEC Invitational at Sahalee.

NOTRE DAME
Pens are ready for feisty Norfolk By TOM VENESKY tvenesky@timesleader.com
The hatred began last December, when the Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton Penguins and Norfolk Admirals opened each game of a back-to-back pair of contests with a series of fights. It escalated in the spring when the two teams faced each other in the playoffs, and chances are the bitter feelings between the two East Division rivals still remain strong as they get ready to open up the season series tonight in Norfolk. “It started last year. Both teams played pretty hard and Norfolk is a skilled team that plays with a lot of tenacity and energy,” said head coach John Hynes. “As the year went on it became a pretty big rival. In the playoffs, sometimes the rivalry heats up even more because those games are so intense.” Tonight’s game marks the first of 10 between the Penguins and Admirals. Not only is it a chance for both teams to renew a heated rivalry that matches the intensity of a Hershey-Penguins game, but it’s also a battle for the division lead. Heading into the game, Norfolk has the division lead with 17 points, just one more than second-place Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. Hynes said first place in the East Division is the Penguins immediate goal. “Every night is a challenge for

us because we play our divisional opponents quite a bit this year,” he said. “We focus first on our division.” The Penguins head to Norfolk with the confidence of being unbeaten on the road this season. They are a perfect 6-0 away from the Mohegan Sun Arena, with an impressive 27 goals versus only seven goals against. Hynes credits his players for the perfect road stretch. “Anytime you go into another team’s building, there are particular things in the game – such as line matchups, that you can’t get because you’re the visiting coach,” he said. “Your players have to step up, and I’m really proud of them.” NOTES The Penguins made several roster moves on Tuesday. Left wing Ryan Schnell was loaned to the Wheeling Nailers, and forwards Cody Chupp and Matt Rust were released from their professional tryout agreement and amateur tryout agreement, respectively. Schnell had six penalty minutes in three games this season, skating on the Penguins’ fourth line. Chupp, a second-year pro, posted two assists in six games. Rust appeared in two games as a rookie this season.

Offer by owners rolls off the rim By BRIAN MAHONEY AP Basketball Writer
NEW YORK — NBA players made it clear Tuesday: No deal. No fear of Commissioner David Stern’s ultimatum, either. “The current offer on the table from the NBA is one that we cannot accept,” players’ association president Derek Fisher said. Instead, the players said they will ask for another meeting with owners before Stern’s Wednesday afternoon deadline — and sound willing to agree to a 50-50 split of revenues under the right circumstances — in an attempt to end the lockout and save the season. In an interview on NBA TV, Stern said that whether he agrees to meet “would be guided by the labor relations committee.” NBA spokesman Mike Bass said the league has not yet heard from Hunter. A month of the season has already been lost, and the NBA risks losing fans without an agreement soon. Some already

Bears starting to cash in with refurbished O-line By JAY COHEN AP Sports Writer
BOLINGBROOK, Ill. — Hours after Chicago completed a gutsy win at Philadelphia, running back Matt Forte and cornerback Charles Tillman started studying again. Only this time the subject was finance — part of a community service program at a local high school on Tuesday morning. And yes, that big 30-24 victory against the Eagles made their quick turnaround a whole lot easier. “It was a great game,” Forte said. “We came back from being down and it shows how resilient our team is.” The Bears (5-3) used a fast start and a strong finish to earn their third consecutive win and move within one game of the idle Lions for second in the NFC North behind the unbeaten Packers. Chicago hosts Detroit on Sunday after the Lions cruised past the Bears 24-13 in their first matchup of the season on Oct. 10. The biggest key to Chicago’s resurgence has been the play of its refurbished offensive line. Longtime center Olin Kreutz decided to sign with New Orleans in August after contract negotiations with Chicago turned sour, and the Bears’ shuffled line struggled at the beginning of the season. Jay Cutler was sacked 14 times and the Bears managed just 161 yards rushing on 51carries during a 1-2 start. But the linemen eventually settled into their new roles and start-
ed clearing out wide running lanes for Forte. Cutler got some time to throw, and the Bears started rolling again one season after they won the division and advanced to the NFC championship game. “They’re really coming together,” Forte said. “They’re getting used to being in the same positions that they’re in. A lot of injuries got healed up, and they’re playing real well.” Forte ran for 133 yards at Philadelphia and is averaging 137.2 yards on the ground in the past five games. Cutler wasn’t sacked for the first time since a 10-6 loss at San Francisco on Nov.12, 2009, snapping a 30-game streak. “When that front five is comfortable and they’re picking things up, and the pocket’s clean, it’s going to be hard to stop us,” Cutler said Monday night. The Bears rewarded one of those linemen on Tuesday, announcing a two-year contract extension with center Roberto Garza that runs through 2013. Primarily a guard in his first 10 seasons, Garza moved inside when Kreutz departed and helped stabilize the line after the rough start. Forte, who ranks second in the NFL with 805 yards rushing, has been vocal about his desire for a new deal, but said he is happy for Garza. “Of course. I’m happy anytime one of my teammates signs a deal, especially an extension,” he said. “He’s a good player for us. He’s been doing great at center.”

MONTY SAYS
appear to have forgotten: Blake Griffin, last season’s rookie of the year, stood around in the lobby of a busy hotel off Broadway and was rarely approached by fans. The league’s current proposal calls for players to receive between 49 percent and 51 percent of basketball-related income, though union officials argue it would be nearly impossible to get above 50.2 percent. “The players are clearly of the mind that it’s an unacceptable proposal,” union executive director Billy Hunter said. “But because of their commitment to the game and their desire to play, they’re saying to us that we want you to go back, see if you can go back, get a better deal.” If players don’t take the deal by 5 p.m. Wednesday, the next offer will call for salary rollbacks, a 53-47 revenue split in the owners’ favor and essentially a hard salary cap. “Our proposal on the table now goes away (Wednesday),”

Stern said. “Our next proposal will then go to the players, and we will see where negotiations go.” Players are willing to negotiate further on the revenue split if they get some concessions on the salary cap system. Without them, Fisher said “we don’t see a way of getting a deal done between now and end of business” Wednesday. The league is seeking to limit the spending options of teams above the luxury tax threshold, believing that would lead to greater competitive balance. Players want all teams to be options for free agents. When asked if there’s still wiggle room on system issues, Stern said that as of 3 a.m. Sunday there was none left. The players insisted they will not be forced into taking a bad deal by an ultimatum — though Stern refused to call it that. “The players are saying that we understand their position, but unfortunately we’re not intimidated by all that,” Hunter said.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — The Notre Dame offensive line, which hasn’t surrendered a sack in more than six weeks, has lost starting center Braxston Cave for the remainder of the season. Coach Brian Kelly said Tuesday that Cave will have surgery this week to repair a foot ligament. Cave left Saturday’s game against Wake Forest in the second quarter with what was described as a mid-foot sprain. “It’s a tough loss for us and Braxston’s been a consistent performer for us over the past couple years,” Kelly said. Cave, a senior, started the last 22 games at center for the Irish dating to the season opener in 2010. Cave has a year of eligibility remaining and Kelly said he would be back next season. Senior Mike Golic Jr., who replaced Cave against Wake Forest, played in 12 games last season but will be making his first collegiate start Saturday at Maryland (2-7, 1-5 ACC). “We’ve got a great deal of confidence in Mike Golic,” Kelly said “Mike came in and played very well for us.” Cave’s loss is just the latest for the Irish (6-3). Wide receiver Theo Riddick will also sit out Saturday’s game with a hamstring injury, Kelly said. Defensive lineman Ethan Johnson is expected to return after missing four games with an ankle injury. Linebacker Manti Te’o and defensive end Aaron Lynch are battling ankle injuries of their own, but Kelly said he expects them to play against the Terrapins.

$92M fine for Rajaratnam
A judge cited the “huge and brazen” nature of the crime as he imposed a $92 million civil penalty on a hedge fund boss snared in the biggest insider trading case ever. Federal Judge Jed Rakoff ordered the penalty Tuesday for Raj Rajaratnam. He said Rajaratnam’s insider trading scheme “cries out for the kind of civil penalty that will deprive” him of a material part of his fortune. The one-time billionaire was convicted earlier this year of insider trading charges and was sentenced last month to 11 years in prison.

WASHINGTON — Employers advertised more jobs in September than at any other point in the past three years. The increase suggests hiring could pick up in the next few months. Competition for jobs is fierce. And many employers aren’t rushing to fill some because they are worried about the strength of the economy. Still, most economists say the increase in openings is a reassuring sign. Nearly 3.4 million jobs were posted in September, the Labor Department said Tuesday. That’s the most since August 2008, one month before the financial crisis intensified. “Business confidence appears intact,” said Alan Levenson, an economist at T. Rowe Price, “confirming ... that job growth Nearly 3.4 is going to continue.” million jobs Job openings have were posted rebounded from a decade low of 2.1 million in September, in July 2009. But they the Labor are well below the 4.4 Department million advertised in December 2007, as said Tuesday. That’s the the recession began. Almost four years most since later, roughly 14 mil- August 2008. lion people are unemployed. An average 4.2 unemployed workers were competing for each opening in September. That’s slightly better than August, but it is still more than twice the 2 to 1 ratio that economists say is healthy. More openings do not necessarily mean more jobs. Even though job openings rose 22 percent in the past year, hiring has increased only10 percent, the Labor Department’s report shows. Education and health care providers have boosted their openings 21 percent in the past year. Yet hiring in those fields has dropped. Retail job openings have soared more than 40 percent in the past year, but hiring has been flat. U.S. employers remain extremely cautious. Modest growth over the summer helped calm recession fears. But the growth came after consumers spent more while earning less, a trend that economists fear can’t be sustained. And the economy remains vulnerable to shocks. In some high-skill industries, such as engineering or information technology, companies could be having trouble finding workers with the right skills. Some economists say companies aren’t offering high enough pay to attract workers they need or are unwilling to train applicants who aren’t a precise fit. The economy added 158,000 net jobs in September. Hiring slowed a bit in October, as employers added only 80,000 jobs, the fewest in four months.
GOP softens on taxes
Capitol Hill Republicans say the GOP members of a deficit-reduction supercommittee are showing flexibility on revenue increases as the panel heads closer to its Thanksgiving deadline. GOP aides said Tuesday that a plan floated by Republicans, including tea party favorite Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, would place sharp limits on the total amount of tax deductions and credits that a person could claim, in exchange for significantly lower income tax rates. At the same time, Republicans are willing to accept an about $300 billion net increase in individual income tax revenues.

Caution in Canada
PHILADELPHIA — Textiles, once a signature craft of Philadelphia industry, teeters on the brink of extinction, with 178 companies left in a city that once housed many times that. There are hopes of sustaining the sector — mainly by connecting it with a younger generation of more designoriented artisans. But to do so, the textile-manufacturing sector must overcome a daunting calculus: Are enough skilled workers available to keep the existing companies alive long enough for young entrepreneurs to grow enough business and expertise to sustain them? As Philadelphia’s factories closed, their workers moved on — and now manufacturers say it’s a challenge to
Canada’s finance minister said Tuesday his goal of eliminating the deficit will be delayed as the economic crisis in Europe hurts growth. Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said it will take one or two more years to completely eliminate the deficit that reached as high as $55.6 billion following the severe economic downturn that began in the fall of 2008. The government had previously pledged to balance the budget by 20142015.

U.S. stocks closed higher Tuesday after Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi said he would resign. Berlusconi promised to step down once Italy’s parliament passes a package of economic reforms.

By 2010, that number dropped below 2,100. The fading of Philadelphia’s textile sector is not just attributable to the global push for cheaper labor. “It was the growth of the mass consumer market,” said Walter Licht, a University of Pennsylvania history professor. “Our textile industry was highly specialized and did not compete with the large-scale, standardized cloth producers of New England,” he said. Even today, the remnants of Philadelphia’s textile industry reflect that heritage — high craftsmanship and high specialization for niche markets.
find the skilled workers they need. “If you want to find a sewing operator, or someone who knows how to cut fabric, or someone who knows how to dye fabric, or fix a knitting machine, those are hard competencies to find,” said Mark Sunderland, assistant dean of design, engineering, and commerce at Philadelphia University, founded in 1884 as the Philadelphia Textile School.

They would be held late in the five-year time frame to allow for scientific evaluations in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas, which Interior officials called a “frontier” for drilling. And they would be targeted to avoid areas with cultural and environmental sensitivities, officials said. “The approach we are taking there is a cautious one,” Deputy Interior Secretary David Hayes said of the Arctic leases. “We are aware of the substantial issues associated with major production.” In the western and central Gulf, by contrast, the proposal puts all un-

leased acreage up for sale. There, drilling is more commonplace, infrastructure is well developed, and spill response plans have improved since the Gulf oil spill disaster in 2010. The drilling plans are the latest iteration of President Barack Obama’s strategy for energy production, which has continually shifted to account for political realities, high gasoline prices and environmental disasters such as last year’s Gulf oil spill. Weeks before that disaster, the White House had talked of expanding offshore drilling off Alaska, in the Atlantic and throughout the eastern Gulf, in part to help move stalled climate-change legislation through Congress. 10-YR T-NOTE 2.08%

Excuse me while I check my calendar. ... Indeed it is showing November, but lately the weather has not really convinced me of that. In fact, it’s behaving more like September, thanks to a stalled ridge of high pressure sponsoring light winds and maximum sunshine. Again today, it’s a piece of cake. With non-stop, uninterrupted sunshine, afternoon temperatures will hover in the 60s. The party winds down Thursday with the arrival of cloudy skies and a shower along a cold front. Friday will be much colder with flurries possible, followed by more good weather this weekend. - Tom Clark

Slow-cook pork dish for instant fragrance
For The Associated Press
WARM UP as the chilly temperatures arrive with this stickto-your-ribs dinner. This braised pork meal will fill your home with wonderful aromas as it slowly cooks for hours. You can substitute a cut of beef for the pork and use a slow-cooker rather than a Dutch oven to make this wonderful ragout if you’d like. It’s perfect over pasta. We enjoy it over our homemade pappardelle, but you can use penne, rigatoni or any type you prefer.
n Marcia Pelchat’s family, every festive meal begins with chicken soup. And her grandmother’s sweet-and-sour meatballs. “We always have chicken soup, even on Thanksgiving, then we have sweet-and-sour meatballs,” says the sensory scientist at Philadelphia’s Monell Chemical Senses Center. “Who knows why.

Roasted turkey has a secret ingredient By ALISON LADMAN For The Associated Press
W
ant the secret to a beautifully bronzed roasted Thanksgiving turkey? It’s all in a bottle. In our many years of cranking out too many Thanksgiving birds, we’ve found that no roasting technique produces that perfectly browned bird quite as well as a dumping a bottle of soy sauce over the turkey just before popping it in the oven. So this year we decided to embrace the technique but elevate it with more sophisticated flavor. We paired the soy sauce with citrus zests. The results were delicious and beautiful.

Stuffing with a fruity kick

or this stuffing, we started with a classic combination of sausage and pecans, then elevated those flavors with a bit of dried fruit and citrus. The combination of fatty meat and nuts is complemented by the acidity and tang of the orange juice and zest. If dried apricots — which add sweetness as well as a pleasant chew — don’t do it for you, feel free to substitute dried cranberries or cherries. •••
ORANGE PECAN STUFFING Start to finish: 45 minutes Servings: 8 10 ounces sweet or hot Italian turkey sausage, casings removed
4-5 pound boneless pork shoulder roast salt and pepper 4 tablespoons olive oil 2 small pats butter 2 cans, 28 ounces each, whole tomatoes with juice, or diced tomatoes 2 cups dry red wine 1 tablespoon thyme 1 teaspoon parsley 1 teaspoon oregano 1 large onion, diced 2 carrots, peeled and diced 2 stalks celery, diced 2 cups chicken stock 2 garlic cloves, minced Pappardelle pasta freshly grated Parmesan cheese Preheat oven to 325. Add olive oil and butter to large Dutch oven and heat over medium-high just until butter melts. Salt and pepper the pork roast generously, add the pork roast to pan and brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove pork and add the carrots, celery, onion and garlic to the pot and cook until soft. Return the pork to the pot and add tomatoes, wine, stock, parsley, oregano and thyme and bring to a boil. Cover and put in oven. Braise for approximately four hours, turning every hour or so. Add more liquid (stock, wine or tomatoes) if needed. You will know the pork is done when it’s easily pulling apart. When done, remove from pot to a cutting board and shred it with two forks, then add back to pot and stir completely with the sauce. Serve over pasta and top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

your palate,” says Scott Drewno, executive chef at Wolfgang Puck’s The Source, in Washington. “If you’re going to do something with a bracing acid component, like ceviche, is it going to be good on the table with stuffing? They’re at opposite ends of the spectrum, and they’re not going to pair well together.” A single, unifying flavor can end the confusion. But it also presents perils. Pelchat says that unlike the process of “sensory adaptation” — where after a few minutes you become accustomed to an aroma, say dinner cooking — human beings actually perceive a flavor or aroma more acutely when attention is drawn to it. “It’s like a melody repeating throughout a symphony,” she says. Which means the melody can clobber the diner over the head if it’s repeated too often — or without the appropriate skill. “Rather than being an easy thing to do, it’s quite demanding,” says Niki Segnit, author of “The Flavor Thesaurus,” which arranges 99 ingredients into 1,000 flavor pairings. “You have to be sure you have the knowledge to express the flavor in different ways so your eater doesn’t feel like they’re eating the same thing over and over again. You have to be quite creative. ... It comes down to taking the ingredients and refracting the flavors in different ways.” Professional chefs do this all the time, in fact, it’s a bit of a hat trick. For instance, ginger might be sauteed in a stir-fry, as well as presented pickled, as a condiment. Sage might be expressed as the underlying theme of a poultry brine and as a brown-butter dressing for a vegetable or pasta. Michael Ruhlman, cookbook writer and author of “Ruhlman’s Twenty,” which focuses on essential cooking techniques, suggests showing off the versatility of turkey — and your skills — by preparing its different parts in different ways. For instance, he says, an ambitious home cook could confit the wing, braise the drumstick and roast the breast, combining the parts on each diner’s plate. “It would be an easy way for someone at home to make a statement,” he says. “People would be able to think about these different textures and the different flavors we’ve evoked by slow-cooking in fat, slow-cook-

ing in stock or water and roasting.” If you really want to go nuts, pluck something “from deep inside the bird,” he says, like liver or gizzard, and incorporate it into a polenta. “You’d have four different preparations from the same bird,” he says. “That’s just plain impressive.” Which doesn’t necessarily mean you have to ditch the meatballs. While some items go together as a matter of science — for instance, the salt in cheese revealing the sweet-tart compo-
nents in wine, Pelchat says — others simply pair because of culture. Segnit mentions chocolate and eggplant, a common duo in southern Italy, and cocoa in meat sauce, a South American pairing. In ethnically diverse places, such as Hawaii, the Thanksgiving turkey and sweet potatoes often are accompanied by sushi and Spam. “I don’t think it’s unusual at all for Chinese families to have dumplings, or an Italian family to have pasta,” Pelchat says. “Family traditions die hard. If you skip something they’ll be upset.”

Simmer for 5 minutes, while continuing to stir. For a smoother gravy, you can transfer the mixture to a blender, in batches as needed, and puree until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper. Serve the turkey with the gravy.

Cut the oranges and lemon into chunks and put inside the turkey cavity. Pour the soy-sauce mixture all over the turkey and into the cavity of the bird, coating all the surfaces.

Transfer the turkey to a serving platter, cover with foil and a couple layers of kitchen towels to keep warm. Remove the rack from the roasting pan. Use a slotted spoon to remove and discard the onions. Place the roasting pan on the stovetop over medium heat and bring the juices to a simmer. Add

STUFFING Continued from Page 1C
1/4 teaspoon chili powder 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/2 cup diced dried apricots Zest and juice of 1 orange 1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth 6 cups stale bread cubes 3/4 cup toasted chopped pecans 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley Heat the oven to 350 F. Spray a large casserole dish with cooking spray. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, saute the turkey sausage until browned and cooked through, breaking it up as it cooks. Add the wine to the pan and scrape up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the skillet. Add the butter, onion and celery, then
cook until the onion is tender and translucent, about five minutes. Add the coriander, chili powder, salt, pepper, apricots, and orange zest and juice. Continue to cook for 2 minutes to help develop the flavors. Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. In a large bowl, combine the bread cubes, pecans, parsley and meat mixture from the pan. Toss until well mixed. Spoon the mixture into the prepared casserole. This can be done up to two days in advance (cover with plastic and refrigerate). Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center of the stuffing reaches 165 F.

DEAR ABBY
them off at bedtime that you’re light sleepers and prefer not to be awakened by “nocturnal whoopee.”
ADVICE have been appropriate to knock on the bedroom door and ask the guy — or both of them — to leave? I told my son about it the next day. He was embarrassed and apologized for his friends. What should we do if this ever happens again? — Red-Faced in Michigan
Dear Abby: When I’m reading a book, my husband chooses that moment to begin a conversation. If I don’t immediately put it down and give him my full attention, he gets upset and says I’m being rude to continue reading and not talk to him. I think it’s rude of HIM to interrupt me when I’m reading. These aren’t important conversations or even questions he needs immediate answers to. They are conversations we could easily share over dinner, or later when I’m not reading. I love to read, but as a busy mom I rarely have the time. Being interrupted during those rare moments drives
Dear Red-Faced: Unless you first required your son’s friends to sign an abstinence pledge before bedding down at your place, you were right not to have evicted them before morning. Next time, keep this from happening by having your son tip

me crazy and makes me feel even crazier when I’m accused of being rude if I don’t want to chat right then. Who’s right and who’s rude? — Trying to Finish My Book Dear Trying To Finish: Frankly, I think your husband is right. He may not need the answer to his question as much as he needs your companionship at the time he’s reaching out. If finishing a chapter is so important that you can’t take a few minutes and talk with him, then suggest that in 15 to 20 minutes you can give him the rest of the evening to talk. Dear Abby: How do you handle a relative who seems to think your house is her own personal garage sale site? She rifles through my closets, brings
out clothing, and then asks, “What can I pay you for this?” She would never act this way at a friend’s home, but somehow it’s different with me. By the way, she’s my sister. — No Sale in Austin Dear No Sale: Because it’s your sister and not some nervy acquaintance, be light-handed in your response. Smile and say, “I’m not ready to let it go, but when I am, you’ll be the first to know.” To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, selfaddressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O.

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
GOREN BRIDGE WITH OMAR SHARIF & TANNAH HIRSCH PREVIOUS DAY’S SOLUTION
ARIES (March 21-April 19). It might feel like you’re getting nothing done because the entire morning is spent en route, on the Internet or with the phone glued to your head. The reality is that this is how most of your business will be accomplished. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you resent a person who puts more emphasis on finding pleasure than you do, it could be a sign that you need to enjoy yourself more. Bottom line: You can’t expect yourself to be happy if you never make time for fun. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll come across someone who is interested in the same things as you, and you’ll exchange excellent information. It’s the start of something good. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll notice that lately a certain friendship has affected how you feel about yourself in a consistently negative way. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You will be distracted, but not by unimportant or irrelevant matters. You’ll get creative in investigating where these distractions lead. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Another person’s privilege reminds you of what you don’t have — or perhaps alerts you to this for the first time. Rest assured, there are benefits to being without this perk, and you can probably imagine what they are. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You won’t tolerate being dominated by a person who feels entitled to lead for no good reason. However, you will follow a leader who has the knowledge and experience to teach you well.

HOW TO CONTACT: Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The best reactions to the unexpected twists and turns of this day will be either calm and collected or humorous. If you have enough rest and a positive attitude, it won’t be hard to do. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Remember when you made believe you were a fireman, superhero, animal doctor or princess? Now you’ll pretend you’re something very close to what you already are, and by pretending, you’ll make it so. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You won’t always agree with what a loved one wants to do. However, if you find one or two points on which you can at least partially agree, you can work things out. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your time is precious, and you won’t be willing to spend even 20 minutes doing what you don’t want to be doing. This may mean you have to exit a situation before its natural ending, but so be it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll nurture the ties that keep you socially connected. In the weeks to come, you’ll call on your network to help you deal with the practical matters of life. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 9). The power of unconditional love will motivate you to accomplish great things. Make a key move in the next three weeks. New resources will open up to you. You’ll accept an important responsibility in December. February brings a decision that affects your financial life. Capricorn and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 19, 20, 49 and 15.
