Former Penn State assistant coach tells NBC that any activities were just horseplay. By The Associated Press

NEW YORK — A former Penn State football assistant coach charged with sexually abusing eight boys in a scandal that has rocked the university said Monday that there was no abuse and that any activities in a campus shower with a boy were just horseplay, not molestation. In a telephone interview scheduled to be aired Monday

night on NBC News’ “Rock Center,” Bob Costas asked Jerry Sandusky if he’s a pedophile and Sandusky responSandusky ded, “No.” Sandusky, once considered veteran coach Joe Paterno’s heir apparent, was arrested more than a week ago and is charged with sexually abusing eight boys, some on Penn State property, over a 15-year span. “I am innocent of those charges,” the 67-year-old Sandusky

said. “... I could say that I have done some of those things. I have horsed around with kids. I have showered after workouts. I have hugged them, and I have touched their legs without intent of sexual contact.” Asked if there was anything he did do wrong, Sandusky said, “I shouldn’t have showered with those kids.” Athletic director Tim Curley and Penn State vice president Gary Schultz are charged with perjury but maintain their innocence.

After eight months of back and forth between Luzerne County, Wilkes-Barre and its one-time champion, the Hotel Sterling’s fate has been decided. County Commissioners plan to vote Thursday to allocate $1million in community development funding to demolish the historic downtown landmark, saying it’s their only option. Commissioner Maryanne Petrilla said during Monday’s work session that she does not believe commissioners have a choice because the structure has been condemned by WilkesBarre City. Road closures around the building at North River and Market streets have caused traffic jams, and snow would likely cause additional damage, she said. The building’s nonprofit owner, CityVest, first disclosed the possibility of demolition in W H A T ’ S N E X T March, saying it was unable to Luzerne County Commisfind a private in- sioners will meet at 1 p.m. Thursday in the commisvestor to develop sioners’ meeting room at and renovate the the county courthouse in deteriorating Wilkes-Barre. structure into a residential and retail or office complex. CityVest representatives asked the county to take control of the project in April, saying it was out of funds and couldn’t come up with the estimated $26.8 million to $35.6 million to fully restore the 113-year-old building. The county has a stake in the more than 3acre parcel because it loaned CityVest $6 million, which was largely spent to demolish an attached 14-story high-rise, clean up environmental hazards and acquire two adjoining land parcels. The county will take ownership of the property after demolition in an attempt to eventually reclaim some or all of its money down the road, said county Community Development Director Andrew Reilly. The hotel will be demolished in January or February, and the incoming home rule county government administration will decide how to market the parcel, he said.

WILKES-BARRE – It’s been 40 years since the Cannonball Run streaked across America, organized by automotive anarchists out to prove that competent driv-

ers could safely exceed posted speed limits they found oppressive. On Nov. 15, 1971, eight competitors put the pedal to the metal in New York City. One of the entrants was a modified 1971 Chevrolet van operated by three members of the Polish Race Drivers of America. One of those PRDA team members was Oscar Kovaleski of Clarks Summit. “I’d like to forget it,” is how Ko-

valeski recalled his experience. “I don’t ever want to see young people go out and do that again.” Kovaleski, Tony Adamowicz and Brad Niemcek came in second in the near-3,000 mile race.

Supreme Court to mull health challenge Justices to hear claim by Florida, 25 other states that law violates the Constitution. By MICHAEL DOYLE and DAVID LIGHTMAN McClatchy Newspapers

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court said Monday it will consider a challenge to the Obama administration’s health care law next year, setting the stage for a legal and political blockbuster. Surprising no one, but exciting many, the justices agreed to hear the claim by Florida and 25 other states that the health care

Evacuation plan given by Dallas

School District will work in conjunction with Lake-Lehman School District. By SARAH HITE shite@timesleader.com

DALLAS TWP. – The Dallas School District presented a drafted mass evacuation plan Monday that works in conjunction with the Lake-Lehman School District. It states if there is a “catastrophic occurrence” on the Dallas campus, students will be transported to Lake-Lehman schools. Superintendent Frank Galicki said he has met with local emergency, police and fire officials and local transportation companies about the plan, and it is in its infancy. He said there will be a test in the future, pending the coordination of both districts’ schedules. Galicki mentioned that he spoke to the superintendent of the Forest City Regional School District in Susquehanna County for an emergency preparedness plan in relation to natural gas issues. In other news, the board heard a presentation from Rick LeBlanc of Crabtree Rohrbaugh & Associates on roofing issues at Dallas Elementary School. He said three classrooms have deflecting roof panels that have caused the ceiling to sag as much as six inches in certain areas. The board approved the project, which has an estimated cost of $15,000. LeBlanc said he hopes to award bids by next month to complete the repairs during the Christmas break. The board approved the sale of 100 lockers from the old Dallas High School to the Hanover Area School District at a cost of $12.50 per locker. Business Manager Grant Palfey said the lockers are about eight years old, and the money generated from the sale will go into the general fund. Galicki announced those who were affected by the PSAT fundraising scheme headed by former guidance counselor John Wolensky may apply for reimbursement until the end of this year. Wolensky pocketed money from a fundraiser conducted from 1997 to 2008 in which students were overcharged as much as $15 for a practice SAT test. He also took money from student meal accounts and football helmet funds. Wolensky pleaded guilty to a theft charge in February 2009 and was sentenced to two years probation. He admitted to taking $24,683 and was ordered to pay restitution to the district for the misappropriated funds, but a report released last year from the state auditor general’s office contended Wolensky may have taken more than double that amount. The money Wolensky paid back to the district was placed in an escrow account, and any unclaimed funds will be used to aid students who cannot afford to pay for certain tests. To make a claim, visit the Dallas School District website at www.dallassd.com. The board also accepted the resignation of Ted Jackson Jr. as head boys’ basketball coach.

law violates the Constitution. An unusually long four-and-a-half oral argument in the spring is likely to be followed by a decision in late June, in the heat of campaign season. “It’s a very big deal,” said Gary Jacobson, professor of politics at the University of California at San Diego. “Health care is the centerpiece of the Obama administration agenda.” The court’s nine justices followed their usual practice Monday in not commenting upon their decision to hear the health care case. At least four of the justices had to agree to hear the case during a closed-door session held last Thursday.

remain intact, supporters say. The court will also be considering a challenge to the law’s expansion of Medicaid coverage. The court combined Florida’s challenge with a separate one filed by the National Federation of Independent Business, selecting the cases and arguments to be heard from among six petitions. Five petitions were filed by opponents of the law and one was filed by the Obama administration. All agreed the court had to act. “Time is of the essence,” attorney Paul Clement wrote in a legal brief for Florida and other states. “States need to know whether they must adapt their

The court did, though, specify that it will consider the primary question of whether Congress went beyond its constitutional authority when it included the “individual mandate” in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Under the individual mandate, nearly all individuals must either be covered by health insurance or pay a fee. The court also said it would consider whether portions of the law might survive if the individual mandate is struck down. Even if justices eventually strike down part of the law, which exceeded 2,400 pages when it passed Congress in 2009, other parts should

The 2010 health care law, passed after a prolonged, often ugly partisan struggle, became a symbol for all conservatives loathe about big, overreaching government, and a symbol for others of how much government could make a complex health care system more affordable and accessible. The law has been in effect since March, 2010, and has dozens of provisions.

HAZLE TWP. -- Media coverage and its effect on the township residents was a topic of discussion at Monday night’s Hazle Township Board of Supervisors meeting. Jimmy Montone, a resident of Birch Road, Oakmont Acres, said that recent coverage of the township focused on residents’ dissatisfaction with sewage fees, disregarding positive aspects of the township such as a 2011 budget surplus of $300,000, excellent road maintenance and a board of supervisors fully sup-

press that the township recently received was unwarranted. Both Montone and Supervisor Francis “Butchie” Boyarski indicated that sewage costs, which vary across the township, were the result of an unfunded state mandate and did not reflect on any decision of the Hazle Township Board. Richard Wienches, of Forest Hills Acres, addressed the board, indicating that he disagreed with the disparity of sewage costs, saying that “some folks on the south side are unable to pay their sewage bills.” Montone countered this was simply a cost of living in the township, and that the disparity was a result of the timing of each

Giffords calls husband brave in first interview The Arizona congresswoman speaks 10 months after being shot in the head in rampage. By KEVIN FREKING Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, in her first public interview since she was shot in the head in Tucson last winter, doted on her husband, former astronaut Mark Kelly, and called him “brave, brave, brave” as she kissed his bald head. Giffords appeared on ABC’s “20/20” show Monday night. It’s her first extended interview since the January rampage that killed six people and wounded 13. A segment that aired on

“Good Morning America” showed a thin Giffords with a broad grin as she talks about Kelly. Her husband replied that the word “brave” was the same one that came to his mind when he thinks of her — “brave and tough,” he said. Then Giffords, looking directly at Kelly, responds almost in a whisper: “Tough, tough, tough.” It wasn’t clear just how fully recovered Giffords is 10 months after the shooting. Interviewer Diane Sawyer said Giffords discusses her career plans and her recovery, and the segment included some video of Giffords’ progress, from being unable to speak at all, to the point where she was ready to give a television interview. At one point, Giffords breaks down sobbing while having dif-

ficulty relearning to speak and she and her therapist hug. In another clip, she sings into a microphone as part of her speech therapy. And in another she walks holding hands with her husband. The television interview comes as fellow victims of the shooting came to Washington to testify in favor of a gun-control bill. They said that Giffords’ appearance represents a major milestone for them as it helps them cope with the trauma they’ve endured over the past 10 months. About a dozen survivors and family members are in Washington lobbying for legislation that would extend criminal background checks to all gun sales and enhance the quality of the FBI’s criminal background checks.

bid to become a supervisor on the township board, grilled the supervisors on several issues including a possible conflict of interest in that Boyarski’s father served on the vacancy board, which would seek a replacement if one of the present supervisors was unable to serve. Both Boyarski and his father adamantly defended themselves, saying the senior Boyarski had served in his capacity on the vacancy board for many years before his son had become a supervisor. The next meeting of the board of supervisors will come on Dec. 12 and will address the 2012 budget.

Calif. twins prepared to return home The sisters, who had been joined at the chest, have been recovering since surgery. By BROOKE DONALD Associated Press

PALO ALTO, Calif. — Two weeks after surgery, twin sisters who had been joined at the chest are preparing to leave the hospital — each in their own car seat. Angelica and Angelina Sabuco have been recovering at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford University since their Nov. 1 operation. The hospital said Monday that the 2-year-olds should be able to return to their San Jose home in the next couple of days. “They are recovering very, very well,” said lead surgeon Dr. Gary Hartman. “Our goal is to return as many children as we can to happy, healthy lives.” Hartman said the girls are off pain medications and their livers are functioning normally. He will continueseeingthegirlsforweekly outpatient therapy, and they will see a plastic surgeon, Dr. Peter Lorenz, for follow-up procedures. Lorenz said the girls’ chest walls have a bit of an abnormal shape but it can be molded as they grow. Angelina and Angelica also will continue physical and occupational therapy to build up their strength and develop their motor skills, the hospital said. The sisters made their post-surgery debut during a news conference at the hospital Monday. Wearing bright red dresses withbowsintheirhairandheldby their mother and aunt, the girls appeared at ease with the all the attention. Their mother, Ginady Sabuco, smiled and laughed and urged her daughters to wave and say hello as they approached reporters. “We’re so excited now to go home and see them sitting in their own car seats,” she said. The girls’ nearly10-hour surgery, paid for by the family’s health insurance, was the second such successful operation at the hospital in Palo Alto.

Quarry plan draws concern of community

After more than two hours of debate and discussion about the selection process for the new Luzerne County manager, most of the home rule transition committee members left the county courthouse Monday night with packets of information about the 72 applicants. Councilmen-elect Rick Morelli and Stephen J. Urban did not receive packets because they refused to sign confidentiality agreements saying they wouldn’t release the names. Morelli said he would honor the decision to keep the names confidential even though he didn’t agree with

it, but he said he won’t sign a confidentiality agreement after consulting with two attorneys. He said he would explore legal options to obtain the packet. Stephen J. Urban said the committee decided to enact a confidentiality agreement before the 11 new council members joined the group, and he tore up the agreement during the meeting. He said he will eventually receive the names, whether it’s now or on Jan. 2 when he’s sworn in as a council member. County Commissioner Stephen A.

County looking into storage

Luzerne County Commissioners plan to negotiate an agreement to buy a North Washington Street building to store county records, they said during Monday’s work session. Commissioners also want to hire an archivist to make sure records are properly stored and disseminated, said county Commissioner Stephen A. Urban. The building, which was recommended by the county records improvement committee, is owned by John Williams and previously housed Two Jacks Cycle & Powersports, Urban said. An existing fee on deeds recorded in the county and money borrowed through bonds would pay for the purchase and renovation, Urban said. A final purchase would have to be publicly approved by commissioners, he said. County officials explored building a facility or renovating a leased or purchased building because they want to get records out of the Thomas C.

The quarry is on the southern slope of Bunker Hill, facing Swoyersville. “The mountainside is creating enormous runoff for towns in the valley, and DEP is convinced there is no runoff because of the pits that surround project,” Mundy said. “They believe water is trapped there.” Stephen Nowroski, of Swoyersville, said recent flooding in the borough is “a rare occurrence” and blames the quarry for causing it. “I’m not against Buck Mountain Quarry doing what they want to do to make money – it’s beneficial to many people,” he said. “I’m concerned with the effects See QUARRY, Page 8A

BLOOMSBURG – The devastation remains along West Main Street – several condemned properties that will never be remodeled sit in waiting as evidence of the damage done by September flood waters.

They talked with residents who are waiting for any news that financial help is on the way.

Board doubts county manager can handle running prison By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Concerned about its pending abolition once home rule takes effect, the Luzerne County prison board on Monday asked its solicitor to investigate whether the county is obligated by law to retain a separate body to oversee prison operations. Controller Walter Griffith, one of seven members of the board, said he questions whether the county manager, who has not yet been appointed, will be able to oversee operations of the prison with the same diligence that

the board has exercised. “The past two years I’ve sat on this board we’ve done great work to make everyone accountable and to keep the budget down,” Griffith said. “I’m a little concerned about the ability of a county manager to take on the task of running a prison – something that took seven members of this board to do the past two years.” Commissioner Maryanne Petrilla, who chairs the prison board, and Warden Joseph Piazza, said they’re also concerned that the loss of the board will negatively affect prison operations. The prison, with a $28 million budget, accounts for

roughly 25 percent of the county’s overall spending. That’s a lot for a county manager, who will also oversee numerous other departments, to take on, Piazza said. The prison board now consists of the controller, district attorney, a county judge, the sheriff and three commissioners. It has operated under that format since 2009 “There are so many issues involved in operating and running a prison,” Piazza said. “Could one person do it? Yeah, but because of the magnitude and amount of money involved, it’s always good to have extra eyes.”

County councilman-elect Rick Morelli said he’s aware of concerns that have been raised regarding oversight of county departments. He said he plans to suggest the county council form subcommittees to assist the county manager in overseeing the departments. Griffith said he believes an independent board would be best. He asked the prison board’s solicitor, Stephen Menn, to look into whether there is any state statute that requires counties to have a prison board. Staff writer Jennifer Learn Andes contributed to this story.

The Kmart that closed after flood damage in September is targeted for a reopening in the spring, according to a company spokesman. Chris Brathwaite said the landlord of the building, which has been home to Kmart since 1974, is working to make repairs to the building and the retailer is eyeing the spring for a grand reopening. The Mark Plaza’s other key tenant, Redner’s Warehouse Market, has also been closed since the Susquehanna River overflowed its banks. HARRISBURG

WILKES-BARRE – A Luzerne County senior judge said Monday he’ll soon rule whether a psychiatric report should be thrown out, and the psychiatrist prohibited from testifying further, in the homicide case against a 17year-old. Senior Judge Joseph Augello heard arguments from Cody Lee’s attorneys and prosecutors regarding a report de-

Lee allegedly made to investigators about the shooting death of his greatgrandfather, 80-year-old Herbert Lee, in December 2009. Because psychiatrist John O’Brien likely based his opinion in the report on the statements Lee made, his report and his testimony should be prohibited from any further court hearings, defense attorney Peter Paul Olszewski argued. The report, attorneys said, will be used at a hearing where the judge will decide if Lee’s case should stay in adult

and Charles Rado, argued it would be impossible for O’Brien to disregard or set aside what he has already read. First Assistant District Attorney Jeff Tokach said when he spoke to O’Brien about the issue, O’Brien said his opinion about Lee would not change, no matter if he read the statements or not. “He’s only giving his opinion to assist the court (in the transfer hearing), not (about) the nature and circumstances of the offense,” Tokach said. Augello said he’ll need to review O’Brien’s report before he makes a de-

nile court hearing scheduled for next week will be put off until December, allowing him time to rule and attorneys to prepare for the hearing. Lee’s attorneys also had requested that evidence seized in a search warrant of Lee’s home – a notebook and a backpack – be thrown out because they were illegally taken and should not be allowed to be used at a trial. Augello said the request to throw out the evidence will not be decided until closer to a trial date, which has not been scheduled.

Jury selected in rape case By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A Luzerne County jury was selected Monday to hear the six-year-old case of a man charged with raping a woman outside a city tavern. A jury of 10 men and four women, which includes two alternates, was chosen to hear the case of Daryl Boich, 44, of Church Road, Mountain Top, who faces charges of rape and involuntary deviate sexual intercourse and two counts of sexual assault during this week’s trial. The trial will begin this morning. The case had been delayed a number of years because of appeals in both the state Superior and Supreme courts regarding a psychiatric examination of the victim in the case. Boich’s former attorney, Al Flora, had sought an examination of the woman Boich is charged with raping, after she testified at a preliminary hearing she could not recall various details of her activities on the night of the alleged assault. Flora argued the testing was needed to determine if she was competent to testify. The District Attorney’s Office opposed the testing, arguing it was a thinly veiled attempt to attack the woman’s credibility. State law precludes the introduction of expert testimony regarding a person’s credibility. Both high courts decided not to hear an appeal, making way for this week’s trial. Assistant District Attorney Nancy Violi is prosecuting the case. Boich is represented by attorney Todd Henry. According to court papers, on Oct. 14, 2005, the woman told police that Boich forced her to perform a sex act before raping her in the parking lot of the former Murray’s Inn in WilkesBarre. Police said Boich met the woman at the bar and promised to give her a ride home. Instead, police said, Boich drove her around to the rear of the South Pennsylvania Avenue building and kissed her. The woman said she wanted to leave, but Boich drove to a more secluded area and forced her to perform oral sex on him. After indicating she didn’t want to do that, the woman told police, Boich forced here to perform the act, and then opened his car door, pulled the woman outside and raped her. The woman said she then got back into Boich’s vehicle and took a call from one of her friends trying to find her. The woman said she didn’t know where she was and Boich slapped her. The woman said she left the car and walked around until she found one of her friends. She was treated at a local hospital, court papers say.

Cops clear out protesters

iot-clad law enforcement officers cleared out Oakland’s weeks-old anti-Wall Street encampment early Monday, arresting Occupy demonstrators and removing tents from a downtown plaza after issuing several warnings over the weekend. Protesters appeared to put up little resistance, and officers could be seen calmly leading some demonstrators away in plastic handcuffs. Warnings from authorities had been similar to those issued before officers used tear gas and bean bag projectiles to clear the encampment on Oct. 25. Officers made 32 arrests during Monday’s raid, Police Chief Howard Jordan said, adding that there were no reports of injuries to officers or protesters. After officers blocked off the streets surrounding Frank Ogawa Plaza, some demonstrators gathered near the barricades and vowed to return. By 9 a.m., however, most of the demonstrators had left the area.

Convicted of aiding al-Qaida

A Texas man accused of attempting to sneak out of the country with restricted U.S. military documents, money and equipment in order to join alQaida was convicted Monday of trying to help the terrorist organization. Barry Walter Bujol Jr. was convicted of attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization and aggravated identity theft. He faces up to 20 years in prison when he is sentenced Feb. 8. Bujol, who is a U.S. citizen, represented himself at his trial, which was heard at his request by a judge instead of a jury. The verdict by U.S. District Judge David Hittner came after a trial that lasted less than four days, with testimony ending last week. Bujol, who was handcuffed, wore leg irons and sat when the verdict was read, did not appear to react after Hittner announced his decision. WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.

‘Non-suspect’ found guilty

A man who was not even a suspect until he voluntarily gave up his DNA was convicted Monday of killing three New York women more than 15 years ago. Francisco Acevedo, 43, was found guilty of the serial murders on the first day of jury deliberations at the Westchester County courthouse. He could be sent to prison for 75 years to life when sentenced Jan. 17. The killings occurred in Yonkers in 1989, 1991 and 1996. Each woman was found strangled, naked, bound at the hands and facing upward. They were also linked to each other by DNA, but police did not know whose DNA it was until 2009. MADISON, WIS.

Recall supporters to rally

Political foes hoping to recall Republican Gov. Scott Walker over his moves to significantly curb union rights in Wisconsin planned a late-night rally and early morning pajama parties to officially begin the effort. More than 100 events were planned across the state today to begin collecting the more than 540,000 signatures required to get a recall election on Wisconsin’s ballot next year. Supporters have until Jan. 17 to turn in signatures. Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefsich and at least three Republican state senators also will be targeted for recall next year. Two GOP state senators lost their seats during recall elections this summer.

BEIRUT — Pressure was mounting Monday on the embattled regime of President Bashar Assad as European foreign ministers agreed to extend sanctions against Syria and King Abdullah of Jordan called on Assad to step down. Syria remained defiant, however. “The Syrian people should not be worried because Syria is not Libya,” the country’s foreign minister, Walid alMoallem, said in a nationally televised address. Al-Moallem’s comments demonstrate how the specter of Libya’s longtime ruler, Moammar Gadhafi, and his ultimate fate — ousted by rebels and later killed in ignominious fashion — haunts Assad’s administration. Syria is entering its eighth month of unrest, which, according to the United Nations, has resulted in some 3,500 dead, mostly civilians, in a government crackdown on protesters. The Assad regime says armed Islamic “terrorists” are behind a U.S.-backed “conspiracy” that has killed more than 1,000 security personnel. “If Bashar has the interest of his country, he would step down,” King Abdullah told the BBC in an interviews.

Pro-Syrian regime protesters shout support for President Bashar Assad as they gather outside the foreign ministry in Damascus, Syria, on Monday. Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem accused Arab states on Monday of conspiring against Damascus after the Arab League voted to suspend Syria’s membership over the government’s deadly crackdown on an eight month-old uprising.

But Abdullah cautioned that a handover alone would not be sufficient to end the upheaval in Syria. “If he was to say I’m going to step down, but let’s have new elections, let’s reach out to the people, let’s get this as a national dialogue, then it would work,”

Abdullah told the BBC. “But if you’re just going to remove one person and put another person in, I think that you’ll continue to see more of the same.” Abdullah’s comments came after the Arab League on Saturday moved to suspend Syria because of what Arab minis-

ters called its failure to implement a league-brokered peace plan meant to ease the crisis in Syria. The Arab League pact mandated that Damascus withdraw forces from populated areas, release prisoners and start a dialogue with the opposition, among other steps.

Cain was chief executive of the Washington trade group at the time. Attorney Gloria Allred, who represents Bialek, appeared at Zuckerman’s side and called on Cain to acknowledge that he had

met his accuser, one of at least four who have alleged that Cain sexually harassed or made unwanted advances toward them. “Mr. Cain’s strategy of blanket denials simply won’t work,” Allred said. “He needs to come clean with the American people. Now is the time.” Zuckerman said Bialek told him that Cain inappropriately touched her later that year when she met him in Washington to seek employment help after being fired from the association.

Luzerne County’s new judges: Where they live and where they won WVW wants By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

It’s not hard to see why judicial candidate Jennifer Rogers garnered the most votes in Tuesday’s general election. The Kingston Township resident beat out her six competitors and tallied a win in 27 Luzerne County municipalities, for a total of 41,706 votes. Votes for Rogers were not concentrated in one specific area in the county, and they spanned from the northern to southern portion. Fred Pierantoni, won in 17 municipalities; Joseph Sklarosky, Jr., in 16 and Dick Hughes in 11. Though Michael Vough came in fourth with his total number of votes, 35,739, he did not dominate in any municipalities. Candidate Lesa Gelb, despite her 741-vote win over Molly Hanlon Mirabito, won in only two municipalities, while Mirabito, who ultimately lost her bid for a judicial seat, won in five. Pierantoni received 39,881votes; Sklarosky, 39,535 votes; Vough, 35,739; Hughes, 34,995 and Gelb, 34,755. Election results will be certified by the Bureau of Election today. County judges serve 10-year terms and their salary is $164,602 per year.

and Alcoholics Anonymous meetings every week and complete 50 hours of community service. WILKES-BARRE -- A man and woman from Luzerne pleaded guilty Monday to several drug-related charges for their roles in selling and possessing illegal narcotics. Nicole Marie Milunic, 23, and Christopher Brandon Mason, 39, both of Ryman Street, entered their pleas before Luzerne County Senior Judge Joseph Augello to 10 and 12 related counts, respectively. Augello said both will be sentenced on Jan. 5. Assistant District Attorney Jill Mat-

thews Lada said she is seeking a mandatory minimum sentence of five to 10 years in prison for both Milunic and Mason. According to court papers, on Oct. 10, 2010, police served a search warrant on a Coal Street, Plymouth, home that the two had previously lived in. Police said they found several items, including six firearms, marijuana, heroin, syringes, ecstasy tablets, steroids and four cell phones. Milunic later told police that Mason sells heroin, cocaine and weed out of their home, and that they got to New York to obtain the drugs to help out their business, Skin City Tattoo in Wilkes-Barre.

SCRANTON – An attorney for the Wyoming Valley West School District has asked a judge to dismiss a federal lawsuit filed by a teacher who claims she was wrongly suspended after she was falsely accused of abusing students. Angela Kairo-Scibek of Plymouth filed suit in 2009, alleging the district violated her right to due process when it suspended her in 2007 after police began investigating allegations she had struck three special education students with a wooden object. Kairo-Scibek was later cleared of the charges after the students admitted they made up the allegations. The district reinstated her and paid her all back wages once the charges were dropped. The lawsuit, filed by attorney Mary Walsh-Dempsey of Scranton, claimed the district violated Kairo-Scibek’s rights because it failed to provide her a hearing to contest the allegations before it suspended her. InamotionfiledMonday,thedistrict’s attorney, Robin Snyder of Scranton, said the district was obligated to take immediate action, given the allegations of abuse, in order to ensure the safety of students. “The district could not allow the plaintiff to return to the classroom until these allegations and charges were resolved and to suggest otherwise is ridiculous,” Snyder wrote. Snyder also says the state school code only requires a hearing if a teacher is to be terminated. Kairo-Scibek was suspended, therefore no hearing was needed. Snyder further argues that Kairo-Scibek’s complaint against the district was resolved through the union’s grievance process, which resulted in her being reinstated, although to a different position, and reimbursed for all her back pay she lost while on suspension. Kairo-Scibek’s attorney will have an opportunity to respond to the motion. A judge will issue a ruling at a later date.

Milunic said she sometimes sold drugs for Mason, and that the steroids were for Mason’s own use. Police said on two different occasions Milunic and Mason sold suspected heroin to a police informant, and that in a May 2011 incident, police searched the home of Milunic’s father, where a bag of suspected heroin had been stored. Mason later told police that bag of drugs was his. WILKES-BARRE – Sexual assault charges against a city man scheduled to stand trial Monday were dismissed after prosecutors said they were unable to make contact with

the alleged victim’s mother. Five related charges against Gomez Balentine, 30, including statutory sexual assault, were dismissed by Luzerne County Senior Judge Kenneth Brown after prosecutors said they could not make contact with the girl’s mother. Balentine was charged in September 2010 with assaulting a then-10-year-old girl. The girl had told police Balentine assaulted her over a fourmonth period. In April, Balentine had pleaded guilty to an involuntary deviate sexual intercourse charge, but then had withdrawn the plea in July, leading to Monday’s trial date.

He ran toward Toys R Us and escaped capture. The suspect in the Taco bell robbery was a white male in his 20s, thin build, about 5 feet 10 inches tall, wearing a red hooded sweatshirt.

The committee agreed at the start of the meeting that no applicants for either the manager or council clerk post should participate in any decisions involving the selection for those posts.

Kovaleski said the finish was at the Portofino Inn in Redondo Beach, Calif., on Nov. 17. The Polish Racing Drivers arrived in their Chevy van less than an hour behind, in second place. At the finish, Gurney told the Los Angeles Times, “At no time did we exceed 175 mph.” In 1981, the movie “Cannonball Run” was released starring Burt Reynolds, Farrah Fawcett, Dom DeLuise and Roger Moore. Kovaleski said the van was a dangerous vehicle modified to assure it wouldn’t roll on turns.

structure are borderline deficient. Marin said the bridge, which is owned by Luzerne County, isn’t being repaired because neither the county nor the state nor the federal government has money budgeted, but it and thousands of other structurally deficient bridges across the state and nation should be. “We saw what happened in Minnesota when for years bridges were left without being fixed and then finally there was the trage-

dy,” Marin said, referring to the 2007 collapse of the Interstate 35 Bridge over the Mississippi River in downtown Minneapolis that killed 13 people. Marin said the Congressional Budget Office reports that the American Jobs Act would provide funding to create or save 44,600 jobs in Pennsylvania – 2,500 in the 11th Congressional District alone, with 985 of those being for fixing bridges and 792 to rehire laid-off teachers and emergency responders.

Marin said U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Zionsville, and U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Hazleton, oppose the American Jobs Act, which was put forth by President Barack Obama. Toomey and Barletta both have referred to the act as another “stimulus bill” that won’t create any more jobs than the last stimulus bill. Marin said a major purpose of the rally scheduled for Thursday is to let their elected officials know they support the American Jobs Act.

2012 budget will be on public view By WILLIAM BELL Times Leader Correspondent

WYOMING -- At its regular meeting Monday night at the Borough Building, Wyoming Council approved placing the proposed municipal budget for fiscal year 2012 on public view until next month’s meeting. Council plans to approve a final budget at next month’s meeting. President of Council Stephen Nalewajko stated that the $1,022,000 proposed Wyoming budget does not include a tax in-

crease. Council is discussing a separate sewer fee which would be dedicated to cover the Wyoming Borough share of a $1,500,000 grant to install new sewer lines in portions of the Borough. At the request of Councilman William Starr, council voted unanimously to hire Integrated Capital Management of Scranton to manage the Wyoming Police Pension fund for a fee of $10,292. Upon a motion by Councilwoman Diane Smiles, council approved a resolution to prepare and advertise for bids proposals to provide sanitation services for the Borough starting Jan. 1, 2012. Council also adopted a resolution to spend $4,000 to replace

some of the Christmas decorations used along Wyoming Avenue which were damaged in the recent flood. Mayor Robert Boyer also explained the Borough was given approximately $1,500 by local business firms to assist those in need due to the flooding. The mayor said that since there was very little need for assistance in Wyoming, the remaining funds were donated to the West Pittston Library, Second Presbyterian Church of West Pittston, and the churches in West Pittston that were providing meals to flood victims. Council discussed in general the feasibility of using Forty Fort Borough to provide code enforce-

ment services to Wyoming Borough. There was also discussion of the feasibility of adopting the Luzerne County planning and zoning ordinances, and the Borough using the Luzerne County Planning Commission to act as the agent for the Borough in zoning and land development. Solicitor Ferentino is researching the matter. Finally, an update was provided on the codification of the Borough ordinances. The process to copy and organize the ordinances began on Nov. 9, and the project will take approximately six months to complete. The borough will next meet on Dec. 12.

Fire chief discusses agreement with W-B department Council expresseed concern the deal could leave Fort Fort without service at times. By STEVEN FONDO Times Leader Correspondent

FORTY FORT -- Kingston/ Forty Fort Fire Chief Frank Guido answered questions before council on Monday regarding a mutual aid agreement with the city of Wilkes-Barre to provide back-up emergency ambulance and fire coverage. Several council members had

questions about the specific language of the agreement. “We pay a large amount of money for five, full-time fire truck drivers,” said councilwoman Dorothy Craig. “I’m just concerned that if they’re out on calls around the valley, no one will be here to service Forty Fort emergencies. “Chief Guido said the agreement with Wilkes-Barre calls for the newly merged Kingston/Forty Fort fire and ambulance to be “third due” in any uncovered Wilkes-Barre emergency. He also stated that the department would receive revenue from the

Wilkes-Barre calls through addition service billing. “I’m not certain of the particulars regarding money,” explained Guido, “but all the revenue from the Wilkes-Barre agreement will go to the equipment fund. Guido also emphasized that it is a common practice for local municipalities to participate in what he called “mutual aid agreements.” Forty Fort councilman, Frank Michaels questioned whether Wilkes-Barre was simply “trying to keep taxes low by under-stafing emergency services.”

In other business, council voted unanimously to hire James Santewan Jras, a part-time DPW laborer, at a wage of $8.50 per hour for 30 hours a week. Council officials said Santewan is a skilled and experienced laborer who will be assigned a number of different duties within the department. Council also voted to approve a Department of Community and Economic Development Local Share Account Grant Program audit for Phase I of the ongoing Welles Street construction project which began earlier this year.

PITTSTON – The NEPA Needs Jobs coalition used the structurally deficient Water Street Bridge Monday as one reason Congress needs to pass the American Jobs Act, which members say would create and save jobs and pay for bridge repairs nationwide. The coalition, whose website links it to organizations such as MoveOn.org, the American I F YO U Dream MoveGO ment and the What: NEPA Needs Jobs rally Service Workers Internaand candlelight tional Union, vigil When: 4 p.m. is planning a Thursday rally near the Where: Water bridge in PittStreet at Kenneston on Thursdy Boulevard, day to get that Pittston message across, and coordinator A.J.

plan as of yet. Dozens of residents who will be required to hook up to the sewer system shared their concerns and comments during that meeting, and Zingaretti said the board will meet to consider and discuss the comments before they are sent on the Department of Environmental Protection. Supervisors spent most of the meeting reviewing routine matters before a resident raised questions pertaining to permits. The

resident said a homeowner near him connected a house and a garage on the same property with an enclosed breezeway that appears to be more of an addition to the home, and he questioned whether this was permissible and whether the proper permits were in place. Noting that the resident might have a valid concern, Supervisor Jim Smith suggested township officials look into the situation and see if proper permits were in

place and if all zoning rules were followed. The supervisors also responded to an audience question about whether an amusement tax was collected for a car show held earlier this year. Zingaretti said the tax has not yet been collected because it was discovered that the contract with Berkheimer Associates does not include the collection of amusement taxes and the township will have to bill for the tax itself.

NUANGOLA – Theodore “Ted” Vancosky, a resident of Vandermark Road, was elected by a 4-2 vote at a special meeting on Monday to serve on borough council, filling the unexpired term of Steven Hudack, whose resignation became effective in mid-October. Vancosky was nominated by Councilman Doug Fawbush and supported by the votes of a majority of council that consists of Chairperson Regina Plodwick, Anthony Deluca, and Conrad Plodwick in addition to Fawbush. A minority of council, made up of John Kochan and Joe Tucker nominated Joan Shirk, a resident of North End Road. When a role call was conducted, Shirk received only the votes of Kochan and Tucker. Vancosky, who said he has been a resident of Nuangola for 8 years, described himself as being an independent who will, when it comes to borough affairs, be “my own man.” He was sworn into office by Mayor Norman Rule.

At the time of Hudack’s resignation, Chairperson Plodwick said that council had 30 days to select a replacement. Although there was some public debate as to when Hudack actually resigned, it was finally resolved that it became effective October 17, meaning that Nuangola in choosing Vancosky fell within the boundaries of borough code. Vancosky is a native of West Scranton; an employee in Nuclear Medicine for General Electric at Hanover Industrial Estates; and a former businessman in Reno, Nev. He said prior to moving to Nuangola he operated a small luggage service business at the Reno Airport. Vancosky is scheduled to serve until 2014. Fawbush and Conrad Plodwick will no longer be councilmen come January. The voters supplanted them with Ron Kaiser and Elaine Donohue. Kochan ran a successful incumbent campaign. Kaiser and Donohue will begin serving in January, 2012. There was also some debate over Nuangola’s Act 537 sewage plan, which ended when Atty. Robert Gonos, solicitor for sewer authority, proposed that issues surrounding modules and pumping stations need to be resolved by the borough’s engineer, A. Benesch & Company.

Council moves curfew, updates junk car rules Ordinances move curfew to 10 p.m., give police authority to remove abandonded vehicles.

By SUSAN DENNEY Times Leader Correspondent

WARRIOR RUN -- The Warrior Run Council passed two ordinances at Monday night’s meeting. One ordinance updated an older curfew ordinance. The borough’s curfew for those under 18 years old will now be 10 p.m. unless accompanied by a parent or guardian. The council also passed an ordinance to give police authority to remove vehicles which are inoperable, abandoned or disabled. The ordinance would make exceptions for vehicles stored in garages or those being sold on dealer lots. The council also passed a resolution to renew the contract with the Nanticoke Police Department. The 2012 contract would remain the same as the 2011 one except for the fact that Nanticoke would retain any traffic fines generated through police enforcement.

Borough Solicitor James Pyrah presented to the board suggestions by Greg Gulick from G & R Consulting who is being considered for the position of borough code enforcement officer. Pyrah passed on the recommendation that the council adopt both the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code and the International Property Maintenance Code. These codes would allow a borough code officer to issue permits and cite properties which do not conform to the code. Pyrah pointed out that the borough opted out of the Uniform Construction Code in 2004. The council decided to study the codes before voting on acceptance at the December meeting. Borough Engineer, Paul Pasonick, reported on problems with the pumping station. The high demand on the pumps suggested that there may be a water main break. Pasonick recommended that the borough wait until the next heavy rain before hiring a contractor to locate the problem by using cameras.

Aid tally for Pa. flood victims is $187M The Associated Press

HARRISBURG — Government aid to victims of Pennsylvania summer flooding totaled $187 million as of Monday. More than 90,000 households registered for help and disaster assistance grants totaling $125.5 million have been paid out, said Federal Emergency Management Agency spokeswoman Susan Solomon. The Small Business Administration provided $61.4 million in loans to 1,620 renters, homeowners and businesses in the state,

Solomon said. Spokesman Cory Angell of the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency said 18 people died as a result of Tropical Storm Lee and Hurricane Irene in late August and September. The back-to-back storms damaged or destroyed thousands of homes and businesses and set off flooding of historic proportions in eastern and central Pennsylvania. The deadline for applications for relief has been extended until Dec. 14.

Panel OKs gas drill bill Proposal to regulate drilling passes Pa. Senate committee, but not with bipartisan support.

Pennsylvania top court suspends Toole’s license

ate tens of millions of dollars a year to help maintain roads and sewer systems in communities affected by the drilling as well as statewide initiatives that finance infrastructure improvement, environmental cleanups and open space. The bill also would impose new environmental restrictions and designate the attorney general’s office as the initial arbiter of local zoning disputes. Democrats on the committee complained that the tax was puny, the environmental requirements weak and the zoning provision inadequate. Sen. Lawrence M. Farnese, D-Philadelphia, said Pennsylvania has the fourth-largest pocket of shale-imbedded gas in the world and the companies drilling in the lucrative Marcellus Shale region can afford to pay much more to the state. “These folks aren’t going anywhere,” he said.

The Associated Press

HARRISBURG — A broad-ranging bill to regulate natural gas drilling in the state and impose a fee on drillers won a key state Senate committee’s support Monday but not the bipartisan backing the high-ranking Republican sponsor had hoped for. Only one Democrat on the Senate Appropriations Committee crossed party lines to join Republicans in endorsing the proposal from Senate President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati, of Jefferson. The full Senate is expected to debate the bill as early as today. Scarnati said his proposal, which was months in the making, would impose a fee of about 3 percent on gas production that is expected to gener-

In separate orders, the state Supreme Court has temporarily suspended the law license of former Luzerne County judge Michael Toole and accepted former judge Michael Conahan’s voluntary relinquishment of his law license. The court, in a Nov. 10 order, accepted Conahan’s resignation from the bar effective Sept. 22. The court also issued an order that places Toole on temporary suspension. The order does not indicate the length of that suspension. The actions follow Conahan’s and Toole’s convictions on corruption charg-

es in 2010. Conahan was sentenced in September to 17½ years in federal prison for illegally accepting money from the owner and the builder of two juvenile detention centers. Toole was sentenced in April to 2½ years in federal prison for illegally using his position to influence an insurance arbitration case and for failing to report $30,000 in income on his taxes. Former judge Mark Ciavarella, Conahan’s former co-defendant, was sentenced in August to 28 years in prison. He is listed as having retired from the bar.

Editorial

OUR OPINION: CANDIDATES

Next time around, let’s fill the ballot

HE NUMBER seems a bit embarrassing. Twenty-nine municipal elected offices in Luzerne County were not filled by rigorous competitive races between rivals touting expertise. No, they were filled by writein votes, typically prompted by a lack of candidates on the ballot. Of those 29 races, 12 were won by people who got a single vote. Think of that. A dozen newly elected officials in Luzerne County got into office by winning one vote. Most of these posts – 21 – were municipal auditors, a job that chronically fails to attract interest. One of the write-in winners was Jeddo mayor, which isn’t a surprise for the little borough that could. Jeddo barely covers one-third square mile, and the 2010 census listed the population at a scant 98 people – down from 144 in 2000. It constantly seems like the municipality will dissolve, but the feisty residents persist. Their determined independence has made Jeddo election stories a quadrennial media favorite. But the write-in winners also included four council seats, two township supervisors, and a school board member. In Conyngham borough, where one of four open council

seats was up for grabs through write-ins, no one got enough votes to win the post, according to Election Bureau Director Leonard Piazza. In the race for Northwest Area School Board, former board member Michael Kriedler won a special two-year seat with 50 write-in votes while Gary Boberick, with 811 votes, and Jeff Pierontoni, with 709, lost their bids for four-year seats. Boberick and Pierontoni were among seven on the ballot for four-year seats; no one was on the ballot for the twoyear seat. Surely there are lessons here. On the plus side, it shows anyone really can get elected when the stars align; no need for bigbuck campaigns. It certainly suggests the state should revisit the mandated municipal auditor position. Perhaps it is evidence that the county has too many municipalities, and talk of mergers should begin anew. Or maybe it is just more proof of complacency regarding our right to guide our own destinies. At the very least, these numbers should encourage more people to participate in the next election. Don’t think of those 29 write-in wins as an embarrassment. Think of them as opportunities.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “We have to make sure the change in the law is one that is effective.” Tom Corbett The Pennsylvania Governor predicted state law mandating who must report sex assaults will be strengthened following the Penn State scandal.

OTHER OPINION: TREE TAX

The phony war on Christmas

HANKSGIVING isn’t even here yet and already America is enduring the first volleys in the annual faux war on Christmas. The early Grinch candidate this year is President Barack Obama. The president’s U.S. Department of Agriculture instituted a tax on Christmas trees — or so the conservative Heritage Foundation would have you believe. In fact, the so-called “tax” is a self-imposed fee of 15 cents per tree proposed by the very industry that would pay it. After watching the share of natural Christmas tree sales fall to artificial ones over the past decade, a group of tree farmers petitioned the USDA in 2009 to start the process of approving a promotional board to help the industry sell its goods. The National Christmas Tree Association supported the petition. Such boards are authorized by a law Congress passed in 1996. Two of the Senate cosponsors of that law were MisEDITORIAL BOARD

souri Republicans John Ashcroft and Christopher “Kit” Bond. That’s not quite the story reverberating in the right-wing echo chamber more fixated on fabricating conspiracy theories to discredit Mr. Obama than seeking the truth. That’s why Rich Dungey, who does public relations for the tree association, is inundated with calls and emails this week wondering why he’s the Grinch who taxed Christmas. The whole "War on Christmas" is an apparition, a ghost if you will. Mr. Dungey’s group merely is trying to sell more Christmas trees, using a law Republicans passed to benefit industry. Following recent patterns, unfortunately, the Obama administration collapsed like a Charlie Brown Christmas tree weighed down by too many ornaments. It’s putting a hold on the fee the industry hoped would invigorate the slumping real Christmas tree market. Bah, humbug. St. Louis Post-Dispatch

MALLARD FILLMORE

Salavantis needs to leave smear tactics, GOP behind STEPHANIE Salavantis may be a bright, young, hardworking breath of fresh air, but she enters the Luzerne County District Attorney post with some dark stains she will need to erase, thanks to an outrageously expensive ad campaign that sought to smear and distort far more than enlighten. Upon first hearing the radio ads I chuckled. The actors spoke in stereotypical drawls and twangs that suggested Luzerne County had seen a dramatic influx of western cowpokes or gentrified southern grandmothers. Matlock had come to town to share his folksy wisdom! As the ads became more frequent, they started to annoy, like those short internet blurbs that repeat over and over again, sometimes three or four times in a row, when you try to watch a TV program online. In the final weeks before the election, I was appalled. Salavantis’ ads pounded the airwaves with distortions and misleading use of facts. It was a classic hatchet campaign in the truest big-party style: Say it often enough and loud enough, and people start to believe, no matter how absurd. Just to be clear, incumbent Jackie Musto Carroll certainly should have been more proactive in checking out irregularities in then-Judge (now convicted felon) Mark Ciavarella’s juvenile court. This newspaper reported Ciavarella’s astounding rate of

MAIL BAG

MARK GUYDISH COMMENTARY outside placement in 2004. Someone should have looked into it more, and Musto Carroll, as assistant district attorney at the time, was as good a “someone” as anybody. But Musto Carroll wasn’t the only one who didn’t act. Dave Lupas, then the DA, did nothing. Other judges did nothing. Attorneys, even those who sat in Ciavarella’s courtroom, did nothing. The state’s Judicial Conduct Board did nothing after receiving complaints about Ciavarella’s partner in slime, Michael Conahan. Scores of people did nothing. Why? Because Mark Ciavarella spoke of his work with the passion of an evangelist at a tent revival. I experienced it first hand. Ask about his high placement rate, and he responded with infectious, convincing zeal. When he said he did everything to help those kids, the man could make the casual observer a believer, and convince even the most jaundiced cynic of his sincerity. Musto Carroll has never been accused of the slightest wrongdoing by law enforcement officials who scoured the courthouse to make their case. There is nothing known that links her to the Ciavarella/Conahan cesspool. And she certainly proved eager and effective in the post-scandal effort to

both see justice done as the disaster unfolded and prevent a recurrence. Salavantis went for the high-powered attack campaign for an obvious reason. She has no prosecutorial or management experience that remotely qualified her for the job she sought. And she had no name recognition. Put her resume up against Must Carroll and it was no contest. If she wanted to win, the new kid on the block had to smear her foe. And since she had nothing concrete, she used innuendo and ephemera, conjuring smoke where there was no fire. How you campaign and how you perform once elected can and often are two different things. So Salavantis still gets the benefit of the doubt as she steps into her new role. But she needs to prove two things: First, that she won’t run the office the way she ran the campaign. If she prosecutes cases by trumping charges and distorting evidence, we’ll be in for a long stretch of botched trials. Second, that after spending so much and benefiting from so many ads courtesy of the GOP machine, she isn’t beholden to that party; she needs to show fierce independence, a hallmark of any good D.A. And it’s obvious we need a good D.A. in a county still reeling from nearly three years of investigations and convictions in this, Our Age of Endless Corruption.

A few truisms about money and government

recently read these “truisms” in the Lackawanna County Edition of “Our Town” and would like to share them. 1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. 2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. 3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. 4. You cannot multiply the wealth by dividing it. 5. When half of the people get the idea

that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation. As I read these “truisms” I wondered how many taxpayers would voluntarily throw their own money away like the federal and state governments do. Gary Bitler Mill City

Heated dugouts would improve game on field

he game of baseball would be improved, if the playing field and the racks in the dugouts were heated. The racks would only have to be heated while the game is being played and the weather is cool. This would make the bats more flexible and less likely to break. This would make the fielding gloves more flexible and easier for the players to handle. And it would also make the playing equipment softer and there would be less likelihood for players to get hurt. This would benefit all the players – batters and pitchers alike.

Head of The Second Mile charity resigns The organization also received donations from Penn State and the judge who arraigned Jerry Sandusky. By KEVIN BEGOS Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — A youth charity at the center of the child sex abuse charges against former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky received donations in recent years from hundreds of corporations, community groups and individuals — including the judge who arraigned Sandusky earlier this month and Penn State itself. The charity, The Second Mile, announcedMondayithadacceptedtheresignation of its president, Jack Raykovitz, who said he hoped his departure would help restore faith in its mission. The charity also announced it had hired Philadelphia’s longtime district attorney as its new general counsel. Raykovitz, a practicing psychologist, had led the charity, which was founded by Sandusky in1977, for 28 years. His resignation was accepted Sunday. Raykovitzhadtestifiedbeforeagrandju-

ry that recommended indicting Sandusky on child abuse charges. The panel said Sandusky found his victims through the charity’s programs. The grand jury report called Sandusky the charity’s primary fundraiser, and The Second Mile’s annual reports show that somedonationscamefromentitiesnowinvolved in the scandal. Penn State donated money even after high-ranking university officials were told that Sandusky had been seen sexually assaulting a boy on campus. Penn State donated between $1,000 and $1,999 to The Second Mile in 2009, and its Altoona campus donated between $2,000 and $4,999 that year. Another donor was State College District Judge Leslie A. Dutchcot, who set Sandusky’sbailearlierthismonth.Sheand her husband donated between $500 and $999 to The Second Mile in 2009, and she volunteered for the group, according to annual reports and her website. The judge set bail for Sandusky at $100,000unsecured—meaninghedidnot have to post collateral to be freed but would have to post $100,000 if he ever failed to show up for a hearing. Major companies and their foundations

also have given to The Second Mile. Between 2008 and 2010, the Bank of America Charitable Foundation, Highmark Foundation, The Hershey Co. and State Farm Companies Foundation all gave $50,000 or more to the charity. Other donors included U.S. Steel Corp., the University of Pittsburgh, The Pepsi Bottling Group, Frito-Lay, the Pa. School Counselors Association, local Walmarts and newspapers. Raykovitz said in a statement Monday that he hopes his resignation would mark the beginning of a “restoration of faith in the community of volunteers and staff” at The Second Mile. TaxformsindicatethatRaykovitz’swife, Katherine Genovese, was executive vice president of The Second Mile. She has been with the group since1984. It’s unclear if she still works at the charity, as the staff biography page has been removed from the website. According to a 2009 tax return, Raykovitzreceivedabout$133,000fromTheSecond Mile that year and Genovese received about $100,000. Sandusky is accused of assaulting eight boys, some on Penn State property, over a 15-year span.

State Sen. Kim Ward said Monday she is writing a bill that would require all employees of colleges and universities to report suspected child abuse to the person in charge of the institution and to ChildLine, a child abuse reporting hotline.

Penn State athletic director Tim Curley and senior vice president Gary Schultz were charged with perjury related to the case. They have denied wrongdoing and havelefttheiruniversityposts.Otherswho claim they saw or heard about child abuse told only their immediate supervisors, not police, according to a grand jury report. Sandusky continues to collect a $59,000 annual pension and received a $148,000 lump sum when he retired from the university in1999, according to the Patriot-News of Harrisburg. Schultz collects more than $330,000 yearly from his pension and received a $442,000 lump payment upon retirement in 2009, the newspaper reported. State Sen. Kim Ward said Monday she is writingabillthatwouldrequireallemployees of colleges and universities to report suspected child abuse to the person in charge of the institution and to ChildLine, a child abuse reporting hotline.

Rep. Kevin Boyle, D- Philadelphia, introduced a bill that would require that all child-abuse allegations be reported directly to police, something Ward said she feared could lead to false charges. “The current system,” Boyle said, “is clearly inadequate and failed the alleged victims in the Penn State case.” A vote is expected this week in a House committee on a bill whose timing is coincidental but that would apply to the Penn State case. ThebillproposedbyRep.MikeVereb,RMontgomery, would create an offense of sexual assault by a sports official — including club coaches and referees, and employees of nonprofits like the Second Mile that engage in sports activities. Vereb said the law would establish the category of statutory rape for those betweenages16and18.Currently,thelawapplies only to anyone under 16.

Questions of possible conflict raised regarding district judge who set Sandusky’s bail Leslie Dutchcot was volunteer at Second Mile foundation, founded by Sandusky. By JESSICA VANDERKOLK Centre Daily Times

Criticism over Jerry Sandusky’s release with $100,000 unsecured bail and an online resume for the judge who set that bail has raised questions of whether she had a conflict of interest. However, District Judge Leslie Dutchcot isn’t talking and neither is the Attorney General’s office. “Judges are not allowed to comment on cases,” Dutchcot

said when reached at home about the potential conflict. “We can’t comment on anything that’s pending in front of us.” On a previous version of the website for Goodall & Yurchak in State College, for whom Dutchcot serves as counsel, The Second Mile was listed among her volunteer activities. That is the nonprofit organization founded by Sandusky in 1977 to serve area youth. Sandusky faces 40 counts related to alleged sexual abuse of eight boys over a 15-year period. The version of the Goodall & Yurchak site that can be viewed today does not include that information.

Dutchcot’s profile does say she was named State College Jaycees Lawyer of the Year in 2005. That organization holds picnics for The Second Mile’s children at the conclusion of summer camps. Nils Frederiksen, spokesman for the state Attorney General’s office, would not answer questions related to the question of a potential conflict. “It’s not appropriate for us to be discussing Judge Dutchcot at this time,” he said. Sandusky was released on $100,000 unsecured bail, and ordered not to have contact with minors. The Attorney General’s office had requested “a moneta-

ry, cash bail; a high bail,” Frederiksen said. “We didn’t specify the amount,” he said. “We also had requested electronic monitoring and the surrender of his passport.” The office also asked that Sandusky not have unsupervised contact with minors. Sandusky’s attorney, Joe Amendola, argued for lower bail, saying that Sandusky is not a flight risk, nor is he a danger to the community. Amendola noted that Sandusky had been aware of the grand jury investigation for MCT PHOTO two years, and had appeared to face charges as soon as he was EX-PSU assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky, right, walks notified that they would be filed. with attorney Joseph L.

Big Ten drops Paterno from trophy The conference announced Monday Conference renames trophy given to that Paterno’s name would be removed league’s top team the Stagg from the trophy given to the winner of Championship Trophy. the just-established Big Ten championBy DEREK LEVARSE dlevarse@timesleader.com

Joe Paterno and Amos Alonzo Stagg will remain tied in the record books, but they will no longer be linked together on the Big Ten’s new championship trophy.

ship game. It will now be known as just the Stagg Championship Trophy, after the former long-time coach at the University of Chicago. “We believe that it would be inappropriate to keep Joe Paterno’s name on the trophy at this time,” Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany said in a statement.

“The trophy and its namesake are intended to be celebratory and aspirational, not controversial. We believe that it’s important to keep the focus on the players and the teams that will be competing in the inaugural championship game.” The trophy will be presented to the winner of that that first Big Ten title game on Dec. 3 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Penn State remains in first place of the Leaders Division for a spot in the contest.

Before his career came to a stunning end last week, Paterno was set to surpass Stagg for the most games coached in Division I football history. Both finished at 548 games. Paterno was fired by Penn State Wednesday night in the wake of a sexual abuse scandal surrounding the university and its football program.

Season could be in jeopardy after rejection By BRIAN MAHONEY AP Basketball Writer

NEW YORK — NBA players delivered a resounding but risky response to one more ultimatum from NBA Commissioner David Stern: See you in court. The players’ association rejected the league’s latest proposal for a new labor deal Monday and began disbanding, paving the way for a lawsuit that throws the season in jeopardy. Negotiating went nowhere, so now the union is going away. And Stern said “nuclear winter” is coming. “We’re prepared to file this antitrust action against the NBA,” union executive director Billy Hunter said. “That’s the best situation where players can get their

due process.” And that’s a tragedy as far as Stern is concerned. “It looks like the 2011-12 season is really in jeopardy,” Stern said in an interview aired on ESPN. “It’s just a big charade. To do it now, the union is ratcheting up I guess to see if they can scare the NBA owners or something. That’s not happening.” Hunter said players were not prepared to agree to Stern’s ultimatum to accept the current proposal or face a worse one, saying they thought it was “extremely unfair.” And they’re aware what this battle might cost them. “We understand the consequences of potentially missing the season; we understand the consequences that players

Hunter said all players will be represented in a class-action suit against the NBA by attorneys Jeffrey Kessler and David Boies — who were on opposite sides of the NFL labor dispute, Kessler working for the players, Boies for the league. “Mr. Kessler got his way, and we’re about to go into the nuclear winter of the NBA,” Stern told ESPN. “If I were a player ...

Rodgers throws 4 touchdowns as Packers cruise By CHRIS JENKINS AP Sports Writer

DALLAS – The Dallas School Board unanimously accepted the resignation of boys basketball coach Ted Jackson Jr. on Monday night, just four days before the official start of practice. Jackson Jr. handed in his resignation on Saturday, said board president Dr. Bruce Goeringer. Jackson Jr. didn’t attend the meeting and didn’t return a message left for him Monday night. Jackson Jr. is also an assistant football coach at the school under his father, Ted Jackson.

hose two broken ribs Michael Vick suffered Sunday aren’t the only things fractured around the Philadelphia Eagles. Their whole system is wrecked now, along with their season. It’s why Eagles head coach Andy Reid has to go. He has lost a lot more than six games this year. Reid lost direction, lost the locker room and lost discipline with his team, as much as he tried to instill it by playing the tough guy and suspending star wide receiver DeSean Jackson against the Arizona Cardinals. That the game turned into another fourth-quarter loss for the Eagles was only a by-product of the disarray. “We’ve all got killer instinct in us,” said Eagles cornerback Asante Samuel, after the Eagles were beaten in the end, 21-17, by the floundering Arizona Cardinals. “But we’re not showing it on the field.” What the Eagles do put on display these days is an incredible aloofness about attention to detail. Nobody on Philadelphia’s staff suspected something might be wrong with Vick when his passes were landing within 10 yards of his targets in the fourth quarter? Nobody on the Eagles defense figured it might be a good thing to actually cover Larry Fitzgerald, who’s only the best wide receiver in the game, when the game was on the line? Nobody could stop the critical penalties that keep piling up and punishing the Eagles every game? “It’s been a myriad of different things,” Eagles wide receiver Jason Avant said. “You can’t just put it on one thing.” Oh yes you can. The head coach. He’s the one who’s been saying for weeks he needs to do a better job. Under his watch, the 3-6 Eagles have only gotten worse. So Reid’s the one who should pay for turning an All-Star collection of talent into a team tied for last place in the NFC East, with little hope of making the playoffs. The Eagles are 1-4 at home, have blown five fourth-quarter leads this season, and could be eliminated from the postseason by Thanksgiving. “No, we’re not falling apart,” Eagles linebacker Akeem Jordan said. They’re not exactly coming together, either. Big-name free agent cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha lined up on the other side of the field from Fitzgerald on the biggest play of the day. Is there no direction around the Eagles anymore? “It’s tough for everybody,” said Juan Castillo, the Eagles former offensive line coach who’s proving he should never have been named defensive coordinator this season. It’s tough for Philadelphia fans to watch. Normally die-hard loyalists, they swarmed to the exits in middle of the fourth quarter during a game that was tied 14-14 at the time. It’s time Reid goes out the door, too. He couldn’t recognize Vick suffered two broken ribs on the second play of the game, yet stayed around to miss open receivers – badly – while completing just 16 of 34 passes. Reid is the one who told his gamebreaker Jackson to stay home Sunday after missing a special teams meeting earlier in the week. Nobody gets suspended for skipping special teams meetings. It’s obvious Reid was trying to send a message to the Eagles. “Nobody’s bigger than the football team,” Reid said. Starting with the head coach. Paul Sokoloski is a Times Leader sports columnist.

Munroe will start in net for Penguins tonight Goalie hasn’t started since Oct. 14 and is winless in only two starts this season. By TOM VENESKY tvenesky@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE TWP. – Last week Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins goaltender Scott Munroe sat down with head coach John Hynes and delivered a message. Having made his last start on Oct. 14, Munroe spent the last month watching from the bench as Brad Thiessen started the last 10 games as coach John Hynes elected to stay with his hot goaltender. “I just wanted to let coach

know I’m anxious to get back in there and when that time comes I’ll be ready,” Munroe said. That time will be tonight. After Monday’s practice at the Mohegan Sun Arena, Hynes said Munroe will start tonight’s home contest against the Binghamton Senators. “He deserves it,” Hynes said. “We brought him here to compete for the spot and challenge to play. I’m really excited and I know he’s ready to go.” Munroe is winless in his only two starts of the season – the last resulted in five goals against on 21 shots before he was replaced by Thiessen to start the third period. But that doesn’t mean Munroe hasn’t been sharp. In his first

start of the season – Oct. 9 against Connecticut, Munroe stopped all 23 shots he faced through regulation and overtime to earn a shutout. He missed the win, however, when the Whale outscored the Penguins on the shootout. “I was happy with how the season started for me, but it’s been a while,” Munroe said. “I’m pretty excited to get back. It’s been a long time.” Hynes said Munroe’s lengthy stay on the bench was solely the result of Thiessen playing well for a long stretch. Hynes has made no secret that he will stick with whichever goaltender is hot, and it’s an opportunity that Munroe can now take advantage of.

“Good play deserves more play,” Hynes said. “I’m excited to get him in there and get he and Brad competing again.” Munroe has spent the last month working with goaltending coach Mike Bales to simulate game situations in practice. Practice, Munroe said, has been critical is maintaining his skill level and focus. “Just work hard, focus on every shot and hopefully it will carry over,” he said. “I play like I practice.” And just how long Munroe will play depends on how he does tonight against Binghamton. A good showing against the East Division rival Senators could result in plenty more ac-

When: 6 p.m. today at Emmaus High School. Records: Wyoming Seminary (16-5-2); Palmyra (18-6-0). How they qualified: Wyoming Seminary won District 2; Palmyra won District 3. How they got here: Wyoming Seminary defeated Donegal 3-2 and Southern Lehigh 3-0; Palmyra defeated Gwynedd Mercy 3-1 and Shady Side Academy 3-0. The streak: The Blue Knights won their 14th consecutive state tournament game by downing previously unbeaten Southern Lehigh. They scored three goals in the second half against the District 11 champs, who have a junior goaltender with 48 career shutouts. The last team to defeat Sem in the state playoffs was Palmyra in the 2005 state semifinals. Up next: The winner will face either District 1 champ Villa Maria Academy or District 4 champ Selinsgrove in Saturday’s state final in Whitehall.

do, and where we need to be for each other.” That’s why you saw McMullan stepping up Saturday, hustling back to clear a ball right in front of goalkeeper Hannah Dressler. McMullan thwarted a Southern Lehigh scoring opportunity with her drive – which went out of the circle farther and faster than a ball propelled by a goalie’s boot. “You know where to go out there, and we know each other is there for us,” McMullan said. Holmes showed off her stick control skills late in Saturday’s game, calmly backpedaling toward the corner of the field with the ball. She drew Southern Lehigh’s forecheck out of its shape by working away from the pressure and, as she reached the sideline, was able to spark a Wyoming Seminary rush upfield. “It’s been a very long season, but we’ve known what we had to do,” Holmes said. “We worked so hard all year, and the last couple of practices were so good. We are ready for this.” When Wyoming Seminary was looking for a spark in the first half Saturday, Granger took the situation into her hands. Coming out of a timeout, she made a defensive stop on a Southern Lehigh rush, then dribbled past another Spartan and advanced the ball to midfield. She then sent a lead pass to Ann Romanowski, who set up AshLeigh Sebia’s reversestick shot that went just over the crossbar. “We are all communicating together and watching where they are,” Granger said of

marking stars such as Southern Lehigh’s Kendall Weedling, a Louisville recruit. “And we use AshLeigh and our Division I players to combat theirs.” While that works on offense, the defensive group is proven up to the task as well. Despite playing national No. 2 Eastern (N.J.), Kentucky power Sacred Heart and state semifinalist Selinsgrove, the Blue Knights are averaging just 1.48 goals allowed per game – a stat that drops to 1.15 goals against if those three games are removed from the ledger. They are working now with Hannah Dressler in goal. The junior took over in goal during the District 2 playoffs after Ellie McDougal was lost for the season to an illness. “She’s a great goalie,” Holmes said. “We can all spot her and we have worked together very well.” “She’s quiet,” Granger added. “She almost asks you (to do something) out there.” “Yeah, she’s different than Ellie, who is so much louder when she directs you,” Holmes said. While the seniors have one week left in their careers, it’s the class of 2013 that will carry the Blue Knights in the future. With six juniors starting, though, that class is propelling Wyoming Seminary this season as well. “We just work very well together,” McMullan said of the defensive trio. “We’re all best friends and we’re always together. We’ve been together since summer camps. “I think this has probably been our best season yet,” she continued. “In the beginning of the season, we had the flood, a couple of people lost their houses. We’ve had injuries and illnesses, and we’ve won the district and made states.” And Wyoming Seminary is a game away from playing for another state championship. danced the final few steps into the endzone,tossingtheballintheair as if he was shooting a basketball before doing a “Lambeau leap” into the stands. It was the Packers’ first punt return for a touchdown since November 2008. Cobb, a secondround rookie wide receiver out of Kentucky, also had a 108-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the Packers’ season opener against the New Orleans Saints. Rodgers finally got the ball at the 9:55 mark in the first quarter and directed an 11-play, 70-yard drive that included conversions on third-and-8, to Donald Driver, and third-and-7, to running back James Starks.

Giroux carries Flyers to win over Hurricanes The Associated Press

RALEIGH, N.C. — Claude Giroux had two goals and an assist to lead the surging Philadelphia Flyers to a 5-3 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Monday night. Matt Read had a goal and an assist, and Maxime Talbot and Wayne Simmonds scored the other goals for Philadelphia, which got three assists from Chris Pronger. Giroux has 11 goals this season after his first multigoal game. Jaromir Jagr added two assists. Patrick Dwyer scored his first two goals of the season for Carolina, one short-handed and another on a penalty shot. Tuomo Ruutu also scored for Carolina. Flyers goalie Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 17 shots. Hurricanes goalie Cam Ward had 13 saves on 17 shots before being pulled for Brian Boucher.

• Steve MacIntyre wasn’t too surprised that Norfolk’s Eric Neilson didn’t go down during their fight on Saturday. The 6-6, 265-pound MacIntyre landed several bombs on the 6-1, 210-pound Neilson during the lengthy bout. “He hit me with a couple good ones too,” MacIntyre said of his fight with the New Brunswick native. “He’s a tough Maritimer. He’s got some Irish in him probably. I knew he was a tough guy.” • F Colin McDonald had what Hynes said was a “maintenance day” and didn’t practice on Monday. • Dustin Jeffrey went through an off-ice workout and is questionable for tonight’s game. Hynes said the move isn’t injury related but simply a part of Jeffrey’s conditioning assignment. • Geoff Walker practiced wearing a red no-contact jersey. Hynes said the winger needs a few more practices before he can return. D Boris Valabik is also a ways off before he is ready for game action, Hynes said.

Four enter Hall TORONTO — The Hockey Hall of Fame has opened its doors to four new members. Joe Nieuwendyk, Ed Belfour, Doug Gilmour and Mark Howe were presented with rings at the hall Monday morning. Howe was a converted defenseman whose smooth skating and crisp passing helped the Flyers twice reach the Stanley finals. Nieuwendyk was a quiet leader who won three Stanley Cups with three teams. Belfour was a goaltender who finished his career third on the NHL’s career win list. Gilmour was a heart-and-soul player who got the most out of his modest size. Howe had been eligible for more than a decade, but now joins his superstar father in the shrine. Gordie Howe sat in the front row during Monday’s ceremony.

Power back in car for 1st time since crash The Associated Press

Will Power was back in a race car Monday for the first time since breaking his back in the IndyCar Series finale last month at Las Vegas. Power tested at Barber Motorsports Park in Alabama and said he felt fine and had no soreness in his back. The test is scheduled to run two days, and Power was to be back in the car Tuesday.

Power had been sidelined since sustaining two compression fractures in his thoracic vertebrae in the Oct. 16 race at Las Vegas. Two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Dan Wheldon was killed in the 15-car accident. It’s the second time Power has broken his back in an IndyCar accident, but the Team Penske driver had no reservations about returning to the car Monday.

The magic No. is 58 for Phillies and closer

Players could be in for a trying lawsuit

By JON KRAWCZYNSKI AP Sports Writer

Papelbon officially introduced as team’s new fireman with four-year, $50,000,058 deal. By ROB MAADDI AP Sports Writer

PHILADELPHIA — Welcome to the Phillies, Cinco Ocho. Jonathan Papelbon and his alter ego finalized a $50 million, four-year contract with Philadelphia on Monday. The former Boston Red Sox closer had agreed to terms with the Phillies on Friday. The contract is the largest ever for a reliever, and it actually totals $50,000,058. The deal includes a vesting option for 2016 that could become guaranteed based on games finished and would Papelbon make it worth $63 million over five seasons. So what about that extra $58? “You’ll have to ask Cinco Ocho that question,” Papelbon joked. “I can give you his phone number if you need it.” Papelbon will wear No. 58, which belonged to lefty Antonio Bastardo last year. His nickname, of course, mimics Chad Ochocinco. The six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver legally changed his name from Chad Johnson to match his uniform No. 85. The Phillies are counting on Papelbon to produce far more than Ochocinco has in New England this year. He has just 11 catches in his first season with the Patriots. Papelbon replaces Ryan Madson, also a free agent. The Phillies were negotiating with Madson’s agent, Scott Boras, last week before going after Papelbon. “He is among the elite closers in the game and someone who clearly has a passion to win,” general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said. Papelbon, a four-time All-Star, turns 31 on Nov. 23. He had 219 saves over seven seasons with the Red Sox, including 31 this year, when he made $12 million. The right-hander helped Boston to the 2007 World Series title. The Phillies have long been opposed to giving pitchers contracts beyond three years. They made an exception last year when they signed left-hander Cliff Lee to a $120 million, fiveyear deal. “Four years is a little uncomfortable, but on a player like this and a person who has had this pedigree and this background and success, sometimes you go the extra mile to do that,” Amaro said. “We felt he was the right guy to take a risk on.”

Tampa Bay Rays starter Jeremy Hellickson, left, and Atlanta Braves reliever Craig Kimbrel were named the American League and National League rookies of the year Monday.

Top rookie awards announced

Braves’ Kimbrel is unanimous choice and Rays’ Hellickson is runaway winner. By BEN WALKER AP Baseball Writer

NEW YORK — Craig Kimbrel overpowered hitters with his rocket right arm, then overwhelmed rivals in the NL Rookie of the Year voting. If only, the Atlanta Braves’ closer figured, his final outing could’ve gone better. Kimbrel unanimously won the NL honor on Monday, with Tampa Bay pitcher Jeremy Hellickson a clear choice as the top rookie in the AL. Kimbrel set a major league record for saves by a rookie with 46. He earned all 32 first-place votes in balloting by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America and outpointed Braves teammate Freddie Freeman. “It definitely did surprise me,” Kimbrel said on a conference call from his vacation in Hawaii. “I expected it to be close.” Kimbrel was dominant for much of the year, chosen as an NL All-Star during his streak of 38 straight appearances without allowing a run. But that streak ended in mid-September and the 23-year-old Kimbrel struggled as the Braves frittered away a 10 1/2-game lead in the NL wild-card race. Kimbrel’s eighth blown save of the year came in the final game of the season, when he walked three, gave up a hit and allowed the tying run in the ninth inning against Philadelphia. The Phillies went on to win in the 13th, costing the Braves a spot in a one-game playoff against St. Louis for the wild-card slot. “I blew many saves throughout the year. It just so happened that one came in the last game of the year with everything on the line,” he said. “My control was not there, I was all over the place.” “I’m going to get over it, but I’m not going to forget it,” he said. “I need to fix it.”

Cards pick Matheny as La Russa’s successor ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Cardinals have introduced Mike Matheny as their new manager. Matheny will replace Tony La Russa, who abruptly retired after the Cardinals won the World Series last month. Even though Matheny has no managing experience, general manager John Mozeliak said the four-time Gold Glove catcher stood out from a group of candidates that began with about 35 names. Matheny donned a No. 22 Cardinals jersey at his inaugural news conference. The 41-year-old Matheny called it the greatest honor of his life. The Cardinals expect to finalize the coaching staff by the end of the week. Mozeliak said pitching coach Dave Duncan should be back.

Kimbrel struck out 127 in only 77 innings and anchored Atlanta’s outstanding bullpen, pitching 79 games. He was 4-3 with a 2.10 ERA, and his long scoreless span covered 37 2-3 innings. “I did learn that the season is long,” he said. Kimbrel wound up tied for Milwaukee’s John Axford for the NL lead in saves. He became the 10th unanimous NL rookie winner, and first since Albert Pujols in 2001. Kimbrel was the seventh Braves player to win the award that began in 1947, and first since Rafael Furcal in 2000. Kimbrel, who pitched 21 games in 2010 but still retained his rookie eligibility, earned 160 points in the BBWAA balloting. Freeman, who hit .282 with 21 home runs and 76 RBIs, was second with 21 second-place votes and 70 points. Kimbrel and Freeman became the first pair of teammates to finish 1-2 in the NL rookie voting since Cubs outfielders Jerome Walton and Dwight Smith in 1989. Philadelphia pitcher Vance Worley was third and Washington catcher Wilson Ramos was fourth. Ramos was kidnapped in Venezuela last week and freed Saturday when commandos raided the mountain hideout where he was being held. Hellickson went 13-10 with a 2.95 ERA in helping the Rays take the AL wild-card spot. He drew 17 of 28 first-place votes and finished well ahead of Los Angeles Angels first baseman Mark Trumbo. “It’s something I really wanted to win,” Hellickson said on a conference call from his home in Iowa. He said there were

The 24-year-old Hellickson was a big reason the Rays were able to erase a nine-game deficit against Boston in the last 3 1/2 weeks to win the AL wild-card spot. He was unbeaten in five starts against AL East teams in the final month, and finished 7-3 in games against division rivals. On the next-to-last day, he kept the Rays close against the visiting New York Yankees. On his final pitch of the regular season, Hellickson got Russell Martin to ground into a triple play with the bases loaded, and the Rays went on to win. Hellickson, incidentally, has a Yorkshire terrier called Jeter — as in, Yankees star Derek Jeter. Hellickson’s dad was a big Reggie Jackson fan, and the dog wound up with the name. Hellickson is generously listed at 6-foot-1, but held up extremely well over 29 starts. He led all big league rookies in ERA, innings (189) and opponents’ batting average (.210). “I’ve believed in myself and had all the confidence in the world in myself,” he said. Like Kimbrel, Hellickson’s final outing was rocky. Against Texas in Game 4 in the opening round of the AL playoffs, he gave up a leadoff home run to Ian Kinsler and two homers to Adrian Beltre and left after four innings as the Rangers clinched the series. Hellickson, who went 4-0 in 10 starts for the Rays in 2010, joined Evan Longoria (2008) as Tampa Bay players to win the AL rookie honor. Hellickson finished with 102 points.

Now that NBA players are preparing to take the labor fight with the league’s owners to the courtroom, some legal experts expect them to face a daunting challenge if they file an antitrust lawsuit. The players rejected the latest offer from owners Monday and started a process of disbanding the union, a move that would allow them to sue the league, much like the NFL players did this summer. But rulings in the NFL players’ case against owners could make it tougher for their basketball brethren, antitrust lawyer David Scupp said. NFL players dissolved their union and filed an antitrust lawsuit this summer. A federal judge in Minnesota lifted the lockout in June, but that ruling was overturned on appeal. Because the NBA case likely would take place in a different court, the ruling of the 8th Circuit in St. Louis to vacate U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson’s injunction of the NFL lockout will not be binding. But it will be influential, Scupp said. “Given the rulings that came down in the NFL case, right now the owners are not in a bad spot,” Scupp said. “It could very well be that the players have an uphill battle toward getting that lockout enjoined.” Jay Krupin, chairman of the national labor and employment practice at Epstein Becker Green, said NBA players should expect a similar outcome to what happened to NFL players in the summer. “It may be a different shape of a ball, but it’s very similar circumstance,” Krupin said. “It’s been threatened in baseball, it’s been

tive lawsuit seeking to prove the lockout is legal and contends that without a union that collectively bargained them, the players’ guaranteed contracts could legally be voided. During oral arguments on Nov. 2, the NBA asked U.S. District Judge Paul Gardephe to decide the legality of its lockout, but he was reluctant to wade into the league’s labor mess. Gardephe has yet to issue a ruling. Two years of bargaining couldn’t produce a deal, with owners’ desires for more competitive balance clashing with players’ wishes to keep the salary cap system largely intact. The sides last met Thursday, when the league offered a revised proposal but told the players there would be no further negotiating on it. Stern, who is a lawyer, had urged players to take the deal on the table, saying it’s the best the NBA could offer and advised that decertification is not a winning strategy. Players ignored that warning, choosing instead to dissolve the union, giving them a chance to win several billion dollars in triple

threatened in football and now it’s being threatened in basketball. The reason is that the players have nothing else to threaten with.” There are many legal twists and turns that this case will take before a judge makes any kind of outcome-affecting ruling, perhaps none more intriguing than the NBA players hiring David Boies and Jeffrey Kessler to represent them in any potential litigation. Boies represented the NFL owners and squared off against Kessler, who represented NFL players, in court this summer. “The fact that the two biggest legal adversaries in the NFL players dispute over the NFL lockout both agree that the NBA lockout is now illegal and subject to triple damages speaks for itself,” Kessler said in an email to The Associated Press. Krupin wasn’t so sure. “He’s one of the premier attorneys in America,” he said of Boies, “but that doesn’t mean the case is any better.” The league already has filed a pre-emptive lawsuit seeking to prove the lockout is legal and contends that without a union that collectively bargained them, the players’ guaranteed contracts could legally be voided. That case was filed in New York, where the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals has issued several rulings in the NBA’s favor over the years. If the players decide to sue, they could file anywhere, possibly heading out west to California in hopes of finding more labor-friendly venues. But both Scupp and Krupin said the case likely would be steered back to New York because the owners have already started the fight there. damages in an antitrust lawsuit. “This is the best decision for the players,” union president Derek Fisher said. “I want to reiterate that point, that a lot of individual players have a lot of things personally at stake in terms of their careers and where they stand. And right now they feel it’s important — we all feel it’s important to all our players, not just the ones in this room, but our entire group — that we not only try to get a deal done for today but for the body of NBA players that will come into this league over the next decade and beyond.” Fisher, flanked at a press conference by dozens of player representatives and superstars including Kobe Bryant and Carmelo Anthony, said the decision was unanimous. But there were surely players throughout the league who would have preferred union leadership put the proposal to a vote of the full membership, with many ready to go back to work. The sides still can negotiate during the legal process, so players didn’t want to write off the season just yet. “I don’t want to make any assumptions,” union VP Keyon Dooling said. “I believe we’ll continue to try to get a deal done or let this process play out. I don’t know what to expect from this process.”

Syracuse routs Manhattan; PSU tops Radford The Associated Press

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Dion Waiters had 17 points, Kris Joseph and James Southerland each had 15, and No. 5 Syracuse beat Manhattan 92-56 on Monday night in the NIT Season Tip-Off. The Orange (2-0) will play Albany (1-1) at home tonight. The Great Danes beat Brown 77-68 earlier Monday in the Carrier Dome. Gerardo Suero had 29 points and Logan Aronhalt added 19 points and 13 rebounds to lead Albany. Syracuse had won 11 straight in the series against Manhattan, the most recent 87-82 in overtime six years ago. This one was over at halftime. The Orange were 22 of 38 (57.9 percent) in the opening period, 7 of 13 from beyond the arc, with Joseph hitting 3 of 4 to go over 1,000 points in his career. And the Syracuse defense forced 16 turnovers, blocked seven shots, and held the Jaspers to 9 of 29 shooting (31 percent) as the Orange built a 52-26 lead at the break. Brandon Triche had 12 points and 7-foot center Fab Melo again was a force down low, finishing with 11 points, a career-high nine rebounds, and four of the Orange’s 10 blocks. Kidani Brutus had 15 points and George Beamon 14 to lead the Jaspers (1-1). First-year Manhattan coach Steve Masiello spent the last six years on Rick Pitino’s staff at Louisville, and no surprise the Jaspers came out with a press. It took Syracuse about five minutes to find a rhythm, and once the Orange did it was off to the races. They had 27 fast-break points and 20 points from the bench in the first half as coach Jim Boe-

heim again substituted freely. After Michael Alvarado hit a wide-open 3 to give Manhattan an 8-5 lead, Waiters and C.J. Fair combined to steal an inbounds pass and set up Triche for a slam dunk. That started a 15-0 spurt that included 3-pointers from Triche and Waiters and was capped by Waiters’ steal and dunk.

Norfolk State. Marquette (2-0) scored the first six points of the game and never trailed. Chris McEachin tied a career high with 19 points and Marcos Tamares had a career-high with 17 points for Norfolk State (0-1) of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. Florida St. 73, Central Florida 50 TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Bernard James had 18 points and 11 rebounds and Michael Snaer added 15 points to lead No. 25 Florida State to a victory over cold-shooting Central Florida. Both were career-highs for the 6-foot-10 James, who had 14 points and eight rebounds in the second half on the way to his fifth career double-double. Two other members of Florida State’s big front line, 6-11 Xavier Gibson, and husky 6-8 Terrance Shannon, added 12 and 10 points.

Penn State 62, Radford 46 STATE COLLEGE — Tim Frazier scored 20 points, Trey Lewis added nine and Penn State defeated Radford 62-46 on Monday night. The Nittany Lions (2-0) used a 14-0 run midway through the first half to gain control. Up nine at the break, Penn State hit three straight 3-pointers to begin the second half. The Nittany Lions used that momentum to shoot 52 percent (13 of 25) in the second half after shooting just 11 of 28 (39 percent) in the first. Frazier, Penn State’s lone returning starter, also tallied 10 assists, six rebounds and three steals. Jareal Smith led Radford (2-1) with 16 points. Smith scored the Highlanders’ first 11 points over the first 5:30, but shot 2 of 10 after that. In the wake of the child sex abuse scandal that rocked the school last week, Penn State’s coaching staff wore blue sneakers to honor victims of child abuse.

Michigan 64, Towson 47 ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Tim Hardaway Jr. scored 15 points, and No. 17 Michigan started the game on a 21-0 run before cruising to a victory over Towson. Freshman Trey Burke scored 13 points in his first career start, and Evan Smotrycz had 13 as well. The Wolverines (2-0) also started the second half with six straight points to take a 43-16 lead. Robert Nwankwo led Towson (0-2) with 16 points.

Marquette 99, Norfolk State 68 MILWAUKEE — Jae Crowder had 25 points and 10 rebounds and Darius Johnson-Odom added 24 points and No. 21 Marquette had little trouble beating

Alabama 74, Oakland 57 TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — JaMychal Green scored 18 points to lead No. 16 Alabama to a victory over Oakland. Trevor Releford added 14 points for the Crimson Tide

(2-0), while Tony Mitchell had 12 and Trevor Lacey 10. Mitchell had nine rebounds and four assists. Reggie Hamilton led Oakland (0-1) with 16 points, all in the first half. Drew Valentine had 11 points and Laval Lucas-Perry added 10 for the Golden Grizzlies. Corey Petros had seven rebounds. Missouri 81, Mercer 63 COLUMBIA, Mo. — Phil Pressey had a career-best 22 points with four assists and five steals, helping No. 24 Missouri beat Mercer. Kim English added 18 points and Michael Dixon contributed 14 points, and Missouri (2-0) used its speed to force 14 steals. Dixon and Pressey combined for 18 points in the Tigers’ first game against Southeast Missouri State on Friday. Connecticut 78, Wagner 66 STORRS, Conn. — Shabazz Napier scored 21 points and No. 4 Connecticut extended Division I’s longest winning streak to 13 games with a victory over Wagner. Jeremy Lamb added 20 points and seven rebounds for the Huskies (2-0), who have never lost a game at Gampel Pavilion during the months of November or December.

BOXING

Thousands honor Smokin’ Joe Legendary boxer was laid to rest as well-known figures paid tribute with eulogies.

By DAN GELSTON AP Sports Writer

PHILADELPHIA — With his championship belt and a pair of gloves draped over his casket, Joe Frazier was going one more round. The Rev. Jesse Jackson asked mourners to rise, put their hands together and for one last time “show your love” for the former heavyweight champion. Muhammad Ali obliged. Wearing a dark suit and sunglasses, a frail and trembling Ali rose from his seat and vigorously clapped for “Smokin’ Joe,” the fighter who handed Ali his first loss. Ali was among the nearly 4,000 people who packed the Enon Tabernacle Baptist Church for a twohour “joyful celebration” of Frazier’s life. He died last week of liver cancer; he was 67. Also attending were former heavyweight champion Larry Holmes and promoter Don King. His body ravaged by Parkinson’s disease, Ali was accompanied by members of his family and wife, Lonnie, who rubbed his back while he was seated and held his hands as he entered and left the church. Jackson delivered a stirring eulogy, describing Frazier as someone who “came from segregation, degradation and disgrace to amazing grace.” “Tell them Rocky was not a champion. Joe Frazier was,” he said, referring to the hometown character from the boxing movie, “Rocky,” and whose statue stands at the base of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. “Tell them Rocky is fictitious, Joe was reality. Rocky’s fists are frozen in stone. Joe’s fists are smokin’. Rocky never faced Ali or Holmes or Foreman. Rocky never tasted his own blood. Champions are made in the ring not in the movies. There deserves to be a statue of Joe Frazier in downtown Philadelphia.”

Former boxing champion Muhammad Ali leaves after a memorial service for boxing legend Joe Frazier at the Enon Tabernacle Baptist Church on Monday in Philadelphia.

not only by speakers at the service but those who sent letters to be read at the ceremony. Rourke got the biggest laugh when he joked about Ali getting knocked down by Frazier — with Ali’s friends and family laughing the loudest. Smokin’ Joe was a small yet ferocious fighter who smothered his opponents with punches, including the devastating left hook he used to end many of his fights early. That’s what he used to drop Ali in the 15th round of their epic bout at MSG. While that fight is celebrated in boxing lore, Ali and Frazier put on an even better show in their third fight, held in a sweltering arena in Manila as part of Ali’s world tour of fights in 1975. Nearly blinded by Ali’s punches, Frazier still wanted to go out for the 15th round, but was held back by trainer Eddie Futch. The bout, Ali would later say, was the closest thing to death he could imagine. Frazier won the heavyweight title in 1970 by stopping Jimmy Ellis in the fifth round of their fight at Madison Square Garden. Frazier defended it successfully four times before George Foreman knocked him down six times in the first two rounds to take the title from him in 1973. Frazier would never be heavyweight champion again.

Mike Tyson, a catch in his voice, sent a videotaped message of condolence as did real estate magnate Donald Trump and actor Mickey Rourke. Fellow Philadelphia fighter, longtime middleweight champion Bernard Hopkins, also attended. The Rev. Al Sharpton was forced to cancel Monday morning. “We made history together,” said King, who promoted Ali’s Rumble in the Jungle fight against George Foreman, who was knocked out in the eighth round. “We tried to make America better.” King, wearing a U.S. flag scarf and clutching a mini-flag, walked over to shake Ali’s hand before the funeral; Holmes greeted “The Greatest” when the service ended — with a 10-bell salute, boxing’s traditional10-count farewell to its own. Thousands of mourners turned out Friday and Saturday for a public memorial viewing at the Wells Fargo Center. Frazier beat Ali, knocking him down and taking a decision in the Fight of the Century at Madison Square Garden in 1971. He would go on to lose two more fights to Ali, including the Thrilla in Manila bout. Frazier was embittered for years by Ali’s taunts and namecalling, though he recently said he had forgiven him. Their epic trilogy was recalled

Rest helps American team to feel good to know that weekend rest made another of his American players feel good as new. Health no longer seems to be a big issue for the American team. Stricker presented the biggest concern, not only as the highestranked American at Royal American (No. 5), but as the partner for Tiger Woods when they won all four of their matches two years ago at Harding Park in another U.S. victory. The pain in his neck began a year ago when he was in a deer stand during the offseason, taking aim with his bow when his left arm collapsed. Exercise got it up to full strength again, and Stricker went on to win the Memorial and the John Deere Classic.

The Associated Press

MELBOURNE, Australia — Fred Couples got word Monday afternoon that Steve Stricker wanted to speak with him, and the U.S. captain quickly drove away. Moments later, he and Stricker were sharing a laugh on the putting green. Stricker was in great spirits at the Presidents Cup, and his left arm felt close to the same. “It’s been good,” Stricker said of a neck injury that caused weakness in his left arm toward the end of the FedEx Cup playoffs in September. “To be honest, it feels like it did all year long.” About an hour later, Couples was over at the short game area at Royal Melbourne watching Hunter Mahan hit chip shots, pleased CO

Airline fined for delays The Transportation Department is fining a regional affiliate of American Airlines $900,000 for keeping passengers cooped up on planes for over three hours in Chicago earlier this year. The department said Monday that American Eagle Airlines had tarmac delays of more than three hours on 15 flights arriving at O’Hare on May 29. A total of 608 passengers were aboard the delayed flights. Coming on the eve of the busy holiday travel season, the fine is a clear warning to airlines that the government won’t tolerate similar incidents.

Airbus on Monday fattened an order for its new A320neo jets and Boeing snagged another customer for the 787 at the Dubai Airshow as Mideast buyers showed they remain bullish despite the uncertain global economy. The deals, which followed a record $18 billion airplane order from Dubai airline Emirates the day before, added ammunition to forecasts from the two major aircraft manufacturers that predicted the region will continue to generate hundreds of billions of dollars in demand for new planes for years to come.

In the psychiatric hospital category, First Hospital fared well compared to the other 11 for-profit facilities in the state. An operating margin of 20.59 percent and a three-year average total margin of 9.03 percent both were above the state averages of 10.64 and 6.87 respectively. Year-to-year, while the statewide operating margin declined 1.81 percentage points, First Hospital’s margin increased by 7.03 percentage points. First Hospital and other facilities of Wyoming Valley Health Care System were purchased in May 2009 by forprofit Community Health System. Kindred’s Wyoming Valley operation inside Wilkes-Barre General Hospital also had a better-than-average operating margin. The long-term acute care facility’s margin of 11.37 percent last year easily topped the state average of 6.81 percent for the 23 for-profit facilities in this category.

Both had equal net patient revenues last year compared to 2009; Allied with $36 million and $35 million for John Heinz. Statewide, average net patient revenue was $45 million in 2010, an increase of $1 million. Allied reported an occupancy rate of 43.43 percent for its 135-bed facility. Only HealthSouth Nittany in State College, with a 40.13 rate, showed a lower-occupancy rate among the 20 freestanding rehabilitation hospitals in the state. By comparison, John Heinz had a 79.92 percent occupancy rate for its 92-bed facility. A message left with an Allied Service’s spokesman was not immediately returned Monday.

You’d think it would be difficult to make a new iPhone look clunky, but Motorola has pulled it off with the new Droid RAZR. It’s being billed as the world’s thinnest smartphone. Usually getting that accolade means sacrificing power, battery life or some other important functionality. That hasn’t happened here. The RAZR is also one of the fastest, most powerful smartphones around. Despite that, the phone is so thin that Motorola engineers had to flare the top of the case slightly to accommodate the headphone jack, USB, and

Bank of America is selling most of its remaining shares in China Construction Bank, expecting an after-tax gain of about $1.8 billion. It said Monday that about 10.4 billion shares will be sold through private transactions with a group of investors. Bank of America will hold about 1 percent of the Chinese company’s common shares after the transactions close. The bank has taken several steps recently to sell non-core assets.

MINNEAPOLIS — A Target employee is protesting the Minneapolis-based retailer’s decision to open its doors for Black Friday at midnight on Thanksgiving, saying the demand on its employees is going a step too far. Target said it would open its doors five hours earlier this year for Black Friday shoppers eager to hunt for discounted gifts. But Target employee Anthony Hardwick says that’s unfair to employees who want to celebrate Thanksgiving with their families. More than 6,700 people have signed his petition on advocacy website Change.org, calling for Target to reverse its decision. Hardwick, who works for Target in Nebraska, hopes to get 50,000 signatures. “With the midnight opening, employees like myself will have to leave for work right in the middle of Thanksgiving dinner,” Hardwick said in a statement. “We don’t mind hard work, but cutting into our holidays is a step too far.” Target is among several retailers that plan to open at midnight on Thanksgiving, including the Mall of America and Macy’s. In Denver, Target is opening its 29 stores from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day. According to a news release, the Denver test will help the retailer decide whether to open in other markets on future Thanksgivings. Target spokeswoman Molly Snyder said the retailer will pay employees who work on Thanksgiving with holiday pay and its store leaders each year work with employees to accommodate personal scheduling needs.

report released today shows that Allied Services in Scranton had the fourth-highest number of beds of any rehabilitation hospital in the state but the second-lowest occupancy rate in fiscal year 2010. The 36-page report focuses on the financial health of the state’s non-general acute care facilities, which include rehabilitation, psychiatric, long-term acute care and specialty hospitals. In addition to Allied Services, area facilities that were examined were John Heinz Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine in Wilkes-Barre Township, which is a division of Allied, Kindred/Wyoming Valley at Wilkes-Barre General Hospital, Mercy Special Care in Nanticoke and First Hospital in Kingston. The report found most local specialty hospitals making more than average profits. Allied Services is the exception. Statewide, the average operating margin for rehabilitation hospitals improved from 10.23 percent in fiscal year 2009 to 10.37 in fiscal year 2010. The increased operating margins occurred while the number of patients receiving rehab care dropped 3.3 percent and for those who received care, the number of patient days decreased 2 percent. Allied Services in Scranton reported an operating margin of 4.35 percent. The other nonprofit facility, John Heinz Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine in Wilkes-Barre Township, which is a division of Allied, reported a mar-

Investor Warren Buffett says his company, Berkshire Hathaway Inc., bought about $10.7 billion of IBM stock this year, giving it a stake of more than 5 percent in the technology company. Buffett has long refused to invest in high-tech companies because he has said it’s too difficult to predict which technology businesses will prosper in the long run. Buffett says he believes IBM has a sound plan for the future. Buffett said Berkshire paid an average of about $170 per share for the IBM stock.

TECH TALK HDMI ports. The phone is extremely light – weighing in at a miniscule 127 grams, or 4.5 ounces. I was initially concerned this would make the device fragile. This proved not to be the case – it stood up to normal use, which for me includes a certain amount of negligence. I tossed it into my laptop case, it was buried under tablets on my desk, shoved in a drawer, and on one occasion dropped accidentally. It survived all of this abuse with no signs of damage. It was only later that I realized this was because the RAZR is protected by a Corning Gorilla Glass display and a KEVLAR reinforced back plate.

Again today, spring is in the air with temperatures well above normal and more typical of a day in April. Showers will attend the passage of a weak cold front today followed by partial clearing tonight. But since the front will stall nearby, lows tonight will stay above 45 degrees and more rain will move in Wednesday morning. Then much colder air will arrive Wednesday night and Thursday, but the weather looks dry heading into the coming weekend with plenty of sunshine and slightly warmer temperatures. Above normal temperatures return next week, possibly lasting into Thanksgiving. - Tom Clark

K You can get the same healthy proteins, carbohydrates and fats for less money. “The strategy is to buy inexpensive foods that still provide the nutrients that support good health,” says Dr. Mickey Harpaz, a nutritionist and exercise physiologist with offices in New York and Connecticut. Some tips: Stop buying junk. Processed

entrees, snacks, soda and juices often are expensive and do nothing for your body. Look beyond meat. Beans, lentils, chickpeas and eggs are generally cheap and rich in protein. If you buy canned beans, rinse them to cut down on salt. Take advantage of chicken ... Dollar for pound, it’s often a bargain compared to other

meats. To save even more, buy chicken whole and separate it into parts for meals, soups and sandwiches. Chicken liver also is low-priced for the protein and iron it provides. ... and canned fish. Tuna in water (not oil) is a good alternative to fresh fish; rinse before use. Frozen seafood is often expensive, but the fresh catch-of-theday may not be. Ask the seafood department. Go for frozen produce. Fruits and

vegetables are pricey out of season, but frozen options tend to be nutrient-rich thanks to “flash freezing” done just after picking. You also can load up on cheap in-season produce, especially at farmers’ markets, and freeze it. Buy nuts in bulk. A handful a day is an excellent protein source, but small containers at grocery stores are too costly. Get nuts from wholesale stores and keep them in air-tight containers.

Choose “whole” foods whenever possible. Buy a full cabbage and shred it yourself, for example, rather than a pre-packaged bag. Shop smart. Write weekly menus, follow grocery lists and take advantage of coupons, store brands and bulk items. Don’t shop when you’re hungry and more likely to make impulse buys. — MCT Information Services

Let’s say it’s rush hour in Philadelphia and the roads and streets are crowded with cars. Alex Doty has “three or three and a half miles” between his home and his job, so what’s the quickest way for him to get from Point A to Point B? • Pedal power. • “Riding my bicycle to work is a part of the day I look forward to,” Doty said. “I don’t know a lot of people who say that about their commutes. • “I feel that I’m being very efficient because I get to combine exercise time with the time I’m commuting.

neering, in a statement. “Metastasis was long thought a late event in cancer progression, but we have now shown metastasis to be an early event that is dependent on HIF-1.” The HIF-1 protein, which Semenza and a team discovered two decades ago, controls the genes that enable cells to survive in tumors where there is low oxygen. Other research has shown increased HIF-1 activity results

Johns Hopkins researchers say they have uncovered the path that breast cancer takes to the lungs, information that could lead to therapies to block metastases responsible for 90 percent of breast cancer deaths. “Metastasis transforms breast cancer from a local, curable disease, to one that is systemic and lethal,” said Dr. Gregg L.

Stents aren’t best option for stroke treatment Q: If a stroke is like a heart attack in the sense that there’s a blocked artery causing the damage, why can’t doctors use stents to open up blood vessels in the brain to get blood flowing again like they do for the heart? — D.L., Linwood, N.J. A: It turns out that stents are not a good idea when it comes to the brain. Use of a clot busting drug given within a few hours of the onset of an stroke, plus aspirin and drugs like Plavix afterward, seem to work much better than trying to get a blocked brain artery open with a stent. The Stenting and Aggressive Medical Management for Preventing Recurrent Stroke in Intracranial Stenosis (SAMMPRIS) study of 451 stroke patients, just published in the New England Journal of Medicine, found that within just a month after treatment, folks who received stents died more often or had more strokes (14.7 percent) than those treated with medical therapy alone (5.8 percent). Over less than a year of follow-up, 20.5 percent of the stented patients died or had another stroke, compared with 11.5 percent of those who received medical treatment alone. Medical therapy is still the best option here. Q: I’d like to ask a creepy question, “Why does a body stiffen up after death from rigor mortis?” —A.L., Colorado Springs, Colo. A: For centuries upon centuries, the mystery of death and what lies beyond has fascinated man. From a biological point of view, death is a much simpler concept. It’s not an event, but a process. This is because the various tissues and organs in the living body die at different rates. Rigor mortis is due to a complex chemical reaction. During life, our muscles require energy (fuel). They need lots of oxygen; however, during strenuous work or exercise, this is in short supply. Heavy muscle use causes a buildup of lactic acid. It contributes to the feeling of muscle fatigue and “burn”. Haven’t we all felt that “burn” in our legs with climbing stairs? During life, the lactic acid quickly dissipates once we rest our muscles. In death, this cannot happen. The breakdown of muscle fuel (glycogen) in death leads to irreversibly high levels of lactic acid. This leads to a complex reaction where the components of muscle fibers fuse together to form a gel. This gel is what makes the body feel stiff in death. Once the muscle is moved, the stiffness is broken and the gel will not re-form. The stiffness begins at once and becomes complete in 2-3 hours, developing faster in the head, neck and arms than in the legs. Dr. Mitchell Hecht is a physician specializing in internal medicine.

ter Philadelphia, will give a talk on “Building a Bicycle Culture in Our Community” at 7 tonight at the Genetti Hotel and Conference Center in Wilkes-Barre. The downtown hotel already contributes to the local bicycle culture by keeping a fleet of 17 “Bike Share” bicycles on hand to be loaned for free to interested riders during the warmer months. From April to October, coordinator Sam Wagner said, the bikes were loaned out 220 times. “We had a lot of repeat visitors,” he said, explaining long-term hotel guests used them to explore the area and local residents used them for recreation and, in some cases, even to travel to their jobs. There’s no denying cycling is good exercise and much cheaper than buying gasoline for a car. And the simple remedy if you feel overly perspired afterward, Doty said, is to carry an extra shirt.

So why don’t more people bring out their bikes? Safety can be a worry, and Doty admits, “I’ve had some close calls.” But, he hastens to add, “I’ve had close calls on my bike and with motorists while I’m walking and with buses or trolleys that I’ve been on and at times when I’m driving around in a car. The street is a dangerous place to be. We tend to severely underestimate that danger when we get into a car and to severely overestimate that danger when we ride a bike.” The more people who cycle and the more people who walk, he said, the more aware motorists will become of cyclists and walkers on the streetscape. They will expect them to be there and they will be less likely to hit them. “There’s a hard-core group of enthusiasts who will bike no matter what,” Doty said.

In many places we can design or revamp our streets to make them more inviting. “This is where bikes and pedestrians belong,” he said. “We all belong on our streetscapes.” Tonight at Genetti’s Doty will talk about the success in Philadelphia, which has seen the percentage of people who bike to work grow by 151 percent since 2000.

in lower survival rates in those with breast cancer. The findings are published in the Sept. 12 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science Early Edition and in the August 22 issue of Oncogene. The researchers focused on the lung to trace the role HIF-1 plays in breast cancer metastasis. They found the protein enabled breast cancer cells to produce enzymes that prepare the lung for cancer to spread. They also play a role in helping cancer cells travel to the lungs through blood vessels. Semenza and other researchers also found that a medication used to treat irregular heartbeats can block HIF-1 production and can stop liver and prostate cancer cells from growing. They studied whether digitalis can do the same with metastatic breast cancer b and in mice, there were fewer and smaller tumors in the lungs. Clinical trials could be next. 8 2 6 -170 0

Exercise can keep you from losing your mind By ELLEN WARREN Chicago Tribune

It’s not news that we should exercise. We know it, but we don’t do it. It’s hard to get started and harder still to keep at it. It’s so easy to come up with excuses. But Harvard psychiatrist Dr. John Ratey thinks he has the nudge you need to get moving. It’s not six-pack abs or thinner thighs. It’s far more important and fundamental: “Exercise keeps your brain from eroding,” he says. “Exercise is the one thing we’ve proven again and again that prevents the ravaging of aging on our brain,” and that’s “one thing people are still afraid of.” Ratey is trying to spread the word through lectures, books (“Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain”) and website (sparkinglife.org). Other hazards of a sedentary life — obesity and Type 2 diabetes — have lost the fear factor. “People aren’t afraid of diabetes. People aren’t afraid of obesity.”

They think “we’ll get pills,” he says, “But they are (still) afraid of losing their minds.” Ratey points out that a recent Mayo Clinic review of more than 2,000 scientific papers concluded that exercise is “the one thing you can do to prevent the onset of cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease.” And for those who really detest the idea of exercise, Ratey says, “This might be the clincher. ... You get the most bang for your buck if you haven’t been exercising. The biggest changes are seen there.” By changes he means “improved intellectual capacity along with what we call emotional regulation — if you’re sour, you get a little more happy; if you’re anxious, you get a little less stressed and anxiety-driven.” And this is true of kids too, who learn better and get higher test scores if they exercise regularly. The more intensity and time spent, the bigger the payoff. “If you exercise three to six months on a regular basis, your brain actually grows,” Ratey says.

Men, heavy people may outpace women, slim people in eating speed By JEANNINE STEIN Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — If we are what we eat, we also may be how fast we eat. Two studies from the University of Rhode Island offer some insight into the relationship between how fast we eat and how much we eat. The first study compared eating rates and calories consumed among 30 men and 30 women at various meals. Researchers discovered that people who ate quickly consumed about 3.1 ounces of food per minute, versus 2.5 ounces per minute for medium-speed eaters and 2 ounces per minute for slow eaters. For those who question whether men eat more than women, wonder no more: At lunch, men ate about 80 calories per minute, while women ate about 52 calories per minute. At breakfast and dinner, men still consumed more calories per minute than women, but the gap wasn’t so wide. Still, the researchers reported that men who said they ate slowly ate at about the same rate as women who said they ate quickly. The second study looked at

eating rates among men and women while consuming different types of food. Overall, liquid meals were eaten more quickly than solid meals, and men consumed both liquid and solid foods faster than women. Researchers also discovered that people with a higher body mass index in general ate much faster than those with a lower BMI. Also, foods with whole grains (whole grain cereal and whole wheat toast) were eaten more slowly than similar foods made with refined grains. “Whole grains are more fibrous, so you have to chew them more, which takes more time,” said co-author Kathleen Melanson, an associate professor of nutrition, in a news release. Food for thought. The study was presented recently at the annual meeting of the Obesity Society in Orlando, Fla.

Cancer patient is stunned by woman’s tasteless joke at her expense Dear Abby: I have been battling breast cancer and have been blessed to have a lot of support from family, friends and some awesome medical providers. My husband’s best friend and his wife socialize with us quite often, and the friendship is important to him. I recently celebrated a birthday and these friends had us over for a belated birthday dinner. They bought me beautiful flowers and a gift. The card attached made a joke about my “aging breasts,” which she found quite funny. Abby, I had a mastectomy, which she knew about! To make matters worse, my hair has just started to

DEAR ABBY ADVICE grow back from the chemo, so I decided to have some highlights put in, and she told me she didn’t like my new hair. I am hurt and dumbfounded by her insensitive behavior. Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time she has said things like this. How do I tell her I’m offended by her rudeness without compromising my husband’s friendship with them? — Harried Friend Dear Harried Friend: You nailed it. The woman is insensitive — but you said she has also made tasteless com-

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

ments in the past. For the sake of the friendship between your husbands, tune her out and spend less time with her one-on-one. It’s OK to tell her that her joke about your “aging breasts” hurt your feelings in light of your mastectomy, and that as your hair is growing back you thought you’d like to try something “different.” However, if you use the word “offended” she’ll probably become defensive, so avoid that word. A final thought: Most people are terrified of cancer. People sometimes try to make jokes about things that make them uncomfortable in an effort to diffuse those feelings. This may be the reason the woman tried to joke about it, so don’t let it cause you to carry a grudge.

CRYPTOQUOTE

Dear Abby: I have recently reconciled with my girlfriend of six years, “Molly.” It has been five months since our last fallout and longest breakup. While we were apart, a woman I knew through my business made it clear that she was interested in me. One thing led to another and “Tish” and I slept together. Now she’s pregnant. I’m happy to be back with Molly now, but have been contacted recently by Tish with proof of the pregnancy. I’m afraid Molly will leave me if she knows about it. She’s the woman of my dreams and the one I want to spend the rest of my life with. Help, please. — It’s Complicated in California Dear It’s Complicated: I’ll try. Talk

to Molly about this and consult an attorney. Molly should not hold against you something that happened while you were separated. Whether the child is yours can be determined by a paternity test. If it is yours, you will be responsible for providing child support until he or she is an adult and emotional support well beyond. If Molly is, indeed, the woman of your dreams, she’ll stand beside you. If not, you are better off without her. And in the future, please use birth control. To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You don’t always feel it’s necessary to reveal your true self; sometimes that ruins the game. And so you’ll carefully control your image, taking notice of what people want to perceive in you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Don’t hesitate to dive in and deal with the morning’s knotty little problem. Once it’s handled, you’ll be more sociable, talkative and generally fun to be around. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You may start out a bit ungrounded. This is a signal that it’s time to take back your experience, personalize your life and make things your own. CANCER (June 22-July 22). People will wonder what you’re really thinking, though you’re not quite ready to let down your guard. Let them stew in the mystery of you for a while. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There’s someone in your life who seems to make a hobby of telling you what to do. This person isn’t your boss, technically, but may as well be by the looks of everything you’ve been doing for him or her lately. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Stay productive even when your work doesn’t seem all that compelling. Stick with it. If you can avoid getting distracted, or at least limit your distractions considerably, you’ll have a breakthrough. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll be inclined to take a straightforward approach with others, declaring, “This is me. Take me how I am, or don’t.” This method will be most effective in preventing wasted time and energy.

MINUTE MAZE JUMBLE BY MICHEAL ARGIRION & JEFF KNUREK

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

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll relate to the legendary tortoise, as there will be a hare-like character in today’s story: so eager to get ahead, and yet without the stamina to follow through to the end. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There’s a wall around you that you’re hardly even aware of. It’s self-constructed to keep out the dangerous people who can waste your time or hurt your feelings. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll be inspired to break out of a rut. Here’s how: Instead of sighing, sing. Instead of rolling your eyes, clap your hands enthusiastically. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Different is good, especially when it’s not so different that no one understands. If you can stand out from the crowd when it matters, but relate to everyone in the crowd just the same, your originality will be celebrated. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re glad that people feel comfortable around you, but when they behave in an inconsiderate manner, you may wonder if you’re too open, kindhearted and forgiving for your own good. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 15). Political success and spiritual fulfillment will be yours in 2012. The efforts you make to change the way you present yourself to the world will be most effective, and you’ll create the impression you desire. Authority figures teach you in January. Aquarius and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 19, 40, 32, 15 and 7.
