The supervisors were adamant that no concrete plans have been presented to them at this point. “When we know something, you’ll know something,” Zelonis said.

Harveys Lake council Director’s lawsuit blasts drilling bills dominates PA meeting

YATESVILLE – Legal ramifications of a recent lawsuit involving six school directors dominated the discussion at Tuesday night’s Pittston Area School Board meeting. Director Robert Linskey has filed a lawsuit against directors Anthony Guariglia, Bruce Knick, Ross Latona, Martin Quinn and Mark Singer on the grounds that a vote to replace him as the board’s Luzerne Intermediate Unit representative was carried out for political purposes. Following the meeting, Lin-

skey referred all questions to his legal counsel. Pittston School Board Solicitor Joseph Saporito also declined to comment on the pending legal issue. The evening started with a pleasant tone as board members Mark Singer, Martin Quinn and Terrance Best offered farewell speeches. During the public comment period however, the talk quickly turned to the lawsuit. Several district residents took issue with Linskey and questioned the board as to what the lawsuit might ultimately cost the district. Linskey tried to point out the suit does not address the district but rather five of the individual school board members. But Saporito claimed that since the lawsuit addresses the directors in both their individual and professional capacities, it could possibly involve the district as a whole. He said the district would be responsible for a $10,000 deductible before any insurance payments were to cover legal fees. Also Tuesday, Knick announced Guariglia had been hired as the assistant principal of the Wilkes-Barre Area Career

and Technical Center. Guariglia had previously taught Computer Programming at the school. He also served as the Principal of the West Side Career and Technical Center. Knick also announced that WBACTC Group A employees would retroactively be given a $1,450 raise while Group B employees are given a $750 raise. He explained the A and B classification will be done away with as a pay freeze goes into effect for the 2011/2012 school year. In the 2012/2013 school year, one-year employees will be given a $1,500 raise, while 10month employees will get a $1,250 raise. Linskey asked what the raises will cost Pittston and argued that the WBACTC had not properly budgeted for the raises or the assistant principal position. Knick pledged to find out how much the raises will cost Pittston. He said he had no knowledge of budgetary shortcomings. The School Board will have a Reorganizational Meeting, Dec. 6 at 6:30 p.m., and the regular School Board meeting Dec. 20 at 7 p.m. B. Garret Rogan

Prison settles beating suit An inmate who was brutally beaten by a Luzerne County man while housed at the Lackawanna County Prison has agreed to settle a federal lawsuit he filed against Lackawanna County. Nicholas Pinto filed suit in February, alleging prison officials failed to take adequate precautions to protect him from the beating inflicted on him by Michael Simonson on Aug. 8, 2010. Details of the settlement were not immediately available as the agreement has not yet been approved by a judge. Simonson, formerly of Plains Township, Simonson was being held at the Lackawanna County Prison while he awaited trial in Luzerne County Court for the 2009 beating death of Donald Skiff of Plymouth. Simonson later pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in that case. Pinto, who was awaiting sentencing on child pornography charges, was attacked by Simonson as he entered his housing unit after a recreation period. Authorities say Simonson repeatedly stomped on Pinto’s head, causing severe trauma. Pinto recovered and was later sentenced to 15 years in prison on the pornography charges. Pinto’s lawsuit alleged three Lackawanna County prison guards were negligent for opening the doors to a housing unit without ensuring Simonson was locked in his cell. LUZERNE COUNTY

Ex-judge will serve sentence at low-security facility, not minimum security as requested

Conahan sent to Florida prison By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

Former Luzerne County judge Michael Conahan got his wish to serve his 17½-year prison sentence at a federal prison in Florida, but not the one he originally requested. The ex-judge was transferred Tuesday to the Federal Correctional Complex at Coleman, a low-security facility located 50 miles northwest of Orlando. Conahan had requested to serve his sentence on a corruption charge at the Federal Detention Camp in Pensacola, Fla., a minimum-security prison that a magazine once called among the 10 “cushiest” federal prisons in the nation. The Federal Bureau of Prisons’ decision to lodge him at Coleman instead of

Pensacola has both positives and negatives for Conahan. On the plus side, Coleman is about a fourhour drive from Delray Beach, Fla., where Conahan’s wife, BarConahan bara, lives, whereas Pensacola is a roughly10-hour drive. On the negative, Coleman is a one-step higher security prison than Pensacola. Chris Burke, a spokesman for the Bureau, said the types of recreation and programs available at minimum versus low security prisons are similar. The key difference is the style of housing and security restrictions within the prisons.

At low security prisons, inmates live in cells that are locked at night and the facilities are surrounded by a fence. Minimum security prisons typically have dormitory-style housing in which inmates are not locked in at night and have limited to no perimeter fencing. The Federal Correctional Complex at Coleman provides various recreational activities, including softball, basketball, volleyball, horseshoes and walking/ running track. It also has a music and arts and crafts program, and offers leisure activities, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ website. All inmates are required to work at jobs that pay from 23 cents to $1.15 per hour, dependent upon pay grade. Conahan was sentenced on Sept. 23

for his guilty plea to one count of racketeering conspiracy. Prosecutors say Conahan and his one-time co-defendant, former judge Mark Ciavarella, accepted kickbacks from attorney Robert Powell and local real estate developer Robert Mericle in exchange for rulings that benefited two juvenile detention centers that were coowned by Powell and built by Mericle. Ciavarella was sentenced in August to 28 years in prison for his role in the scheme. He is serving his sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution in Pekin, Ill., a medium security facility. Powell was sentenced on Nov. 4 to 1½ years in prison. He is scheduled to report to begin serving the sentence on Nov. 30. Mericle is awaiting sentencing.

WILKES-BARRE – What’s wrong with this picture? We now live in a world where intrepid climbers can update their Facebook status and tweet their friends from the peak of Mount Everest; where the commander of a remote military outpost in Iraq has more tactical data available than generals did during the first Gulf War; where laborers in Tianjin, China can erect a world-class exhibition center in a matter of months. But at the D.C. Metro stop near Thomas Friedman’s home in Bethesda, M.D., the escalators have been roped off, ostensibly “under repair,” for six months. Asking why exactly that is led Friedman, foreign affairs columnist for The New York Times and three-time Pulitzer-Prize winner, and co-author Michael Mandelbaum to pen their new work, “That Used To Be Us: How America

night, Friedman spoke of the challenges facing America today, in particular those posed by the parallel rapid development of globalization and communications technology. “Over the last seven, eight years… the world went from connected to hyper-connected,” he said. “It went from flat world 1.0 to flat world 2.0. Nobody announced it, but it’s actually the biggest thing that’s happened in the world today.” That “hyper-connectivity” has made it easier for employers to outsource the work of “average” workers, meaning that to get and keep a job in today’s economy workers need to bring something extra to their jobs to set them apart. “What (employers) are all actually looking for are not only people who can do their job, but who can invent, re-invent and re-engineer their job while they’re doing it,” Friedman said. Friedman refuses to accept that American workers can’t rise to that challenge, or that the country’s best days have come and gone – if that’s the

case, too many creative and hard-working Americans haven’t gotten the message, he said – but for America to again rise to prominence it needs to remember the values that made it a global leader. The America of the past educated its people above and beyond the technology of the time, invested government dollars wisely in worthwhile research projects, and created the world’s best infrastructure, most open immigration policies and soundest capital investment regulations. Today’s leaders need to move beyond partisan bickering, and forge consensus around those values that made America strong, Friedman said. “The history books we need to read are our own,” Friedman said. Friedman’s speech was hosted by Wilkes University as part of the Outstanding Leaders Forum, which has previously brought former U.S. Secretaries of State Colin Powell and Madeleine Albright, former Mexican President Vicente Fox and Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel to Wilkes-Barre. Friedman also spoke to 120 area high schools students at The Westmoreland Club prior to his lecture.

WASHINGTON – The House is poised to approve a bill this week naming a U.S. Post Office in Pittston after a slain Pennsylvania State Police trooper. Trooper Joshua D. Miller of Pittston was shot and killed on June 7, 2009 while pursuing a kidnapper who had snatched a 9-year-old from his mother at gunpoint and fled, said U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, the author of the bill paying tribute to Miller. The boy was rescued, but Miller, at age 34, died after being flown to a hospital, Barletta said on the House floor this week in asking lawmakers to support naming the post office at 11 Dock St. the “Trooper Joshua D. Miller Post Office Building.” “He died while saving a boy from a kidnapper with a gun,” Barletta said. “He died serving his community, his commonwealth, Miller and his country.” The bill also must be approved by the Senate. It was backed by the entire Pennsylvania House delegation, and a vote is expected on the House floor by Friday. Naming post offices and other federal buildings in honor of people recognized for their accomplishments and service to their community is a way for Congress to pay tribute in a high-profile manner. Miller’s wife, Angela, said that she is gratified by the tribute. “I wish that he was still here and that we weren’t in a position to have to do such things in memory of him,” she said. “But I am always so humbled and so surprised at the lengths to which people are willing to go to make sure Josh’s memory is kept alive.” Barletta noted on the House floor that after Miller’s death, more than 1,700 law enforcement officers from around the country attended his funeral and thenGov. Ed Rendell awarded a posthumous Medal of Honor to the slain trooper. “On the day he was shot and killed in the line of duty, Trooper Miller sent an email to a colleague. In it, he wrote, quote, ‘I will not let anything happen to my brothers on my watch,’” Barletta recalled.

State prison nurses protest outsourcing services Union stages pickets at 10 state prisons, inviting other union officials to join in. By MATT HUGHES mhughes@timesleader.com

HUNLOCK TWP. – State corrections nurses stood outside S.C.I. Retreat on Wednesday to protest a move to outsource health care and other services in state prisons. Standing alongside Route 11 next to the bridge providing

access to the medium-security state correctional institution, the nurses held placards proclaiming “safety is not for sale” and “quality care here keeps you safe out there,” reflecting the nursing union’s position that the move would threaten public safety. The protest was organized by SEIU Healthcare PA, which represents 320 nurses at the state’s 27 correctional facilities and 10 of the 17 nurses at SCI Retreat. According to SCI Retreat

spokeswoman Christine McMillan, some health care and medical records services at state prisons were provided by Prison Health Services, a private company that was purchased in a merger with another company. That merger allows the state to put health care service contracts up for bid. Nurses at the prison are state employees, but the request for proposals for the conSee NURSES, Page 4A

tract could add nursing services to the services provided by private companies, and that is the scenario the nurses are hoping to avoid. “It’s the whole medical department they’re trying to outsource right now, to privatize. We’re state workers and we want to keep our jobs,” said Renee Waligun, a corrections nurse at SCI Dallas. “Corrections is our core government service, and cutting corners puts our communities at risk.” SEIU staged protests at 10 state prisons Wednesday, inviting nurses from nearby prisons and other union officials to join the protest. SEIU said participants did so during breaks and did not skip work. The protest coincided with the introduction of a bill by state Rep. Mike Fleck, R-Hun-

tingdon County, and Sen. David G. Argall, R- Schuylkill County, that would block the move. McMillan said no nurses would lose their jobs in the deal, which would affect about 800 workers; they would simply have a different employer. But the union claims the move could lead to reductions in wages and benefits that would lead many corrections nurses to seek employment elsewhere. That could, in turn, lead to inexperienced, under-qualified nurses being placed into a highrisk environment, compromising the safety of prison employees, inmates and ultimately the public, the union maintains. “We’re specially trained; we do attend the same academy that the corrections officers attend …We’re trained in security and safety for both the inmates and the staff,” Waligun said. “New intake nurses, if they were hired from the private sector, they just don’t have the training that we have.”

County board may re-create deputy warden post By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

The Luzerne County Salary Board is expected to vote today to re-establish funding for a deputy prison warden position that was eliminated in 2010, at the time raising concerns from Controller Walter Griffith about reducing prison management. Griffith, who sits on the county’s prison board, joined four other members of that board on Monday in voting to re-create the deputy warden position. He said he did so despite concerns that the current county administration is taking too many personnel actions that should be left to the Luzerne County Council members, who will take office in January. The prison board, with two members absent, voted 5-0 to re-

create the deputy warden job that was previously held by Sam Hyder. Hyder was furloughed from the job in January 2010 after money to fund the position was eliminated from the county’s budget. The prison board had the authority to re-create the position, but funding must be approved by the salary board, which is scheduled to meet this afternoon. The prison board did not indicate what the salary will be or name a person to fill the post. But Warden Joseph Piazza confirmed Wednesday that he’s recommended Maj. James Larson to be appointed to the position. Griffith said he supported creating the position because he believes it is needed. But he’s opposed to naming anyone to the job.

“Do we need a deputy warden? Absolutely. We need someone in charge when warden is not there,” Griffith said. “Do we need to fill it right now? I don’t think so.” Spending and personnel actions being taken by the three county commissioners, whose terms in office end on Dec. 31, have come under scrutiny by several of the newly elected county council members. Councilman-elect Rick Morelli on Tuesday called for commissioners to refrain from authorizing any major expenditures or making other decisions relating to union contracts and appointments. Morelli said Wednesday he did not know enough about the deputy warden’s position to express an opinion on whether it should be EARLY

filled. He said he spoke to Commissioner Chairwoman Maryanne Petrilla, who assured him commissioners would explain their reasoning for any decisions they make during their waning days in office. “She stated, and I felt she was sincere, that she was going to inform the council-elect as to the decisions and reasons why,” Morelli said. “Obviously, we don’t want them to make any hasty decisions. But as long as they can justify it … I want to give them the benefit of the doubt.” Griffith, who also sits on the salary board, said he will likely vote to approve the position, but only if the post pays no more than what Larson currently earns, which is $58,735. Hyder was paid $74,263 at the time he was furloughed.

WASHINGTON

D.C. suspect nabbed in Pa.

Secret Service said WednesT hedayU.S. that a suspect potentially tied to a shooting incident near the White House on Friday has been arrested in Pennsylvania. According to a statement from the agency, Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez, 21, was apprehended by Pennsylvania state troopers at a hotel in Indiana, Pa., at 12:35 p.m. based on information generated by Secret Service agents in the Pittsburgh office. The Secret Service, ATF, FBI, U.S. Park Police and the Washington Metropolitan Police Department had been working together to locate OrtegaHernandez after law enforcement Friday responded to the sound of gunfire on Constitution Avenue, about 700 yards south of the White House. Officers located a vehicle seven blocks west containing evidence linking Ortega-Hernandez to the incident. The shooting incident reportedly involved an AK-47 rifle. On Tuesday, personnel discovered two rounds on the White House grounds, at least one of which damaged historic exterior glass in a window above the Truman Balcony on the South Portico.

U.S. ups Australia presence President Barack Obama insisted Wednesday that the United States does not fear China, even as he announced a new security agreement with Australia that is widely viewed as a response to China’s growing aggressiveness. China responded swiftly, warning that an expanded U.S. military footprint in Australia may not be appropriate and deserved greater scrutiny. About 250 U.S. Marines will begin a rotation in northern Australia starting next year, with a full force of 2,500 military personnel staffing up over the next several years.

Premier Mario Monti forms team of business execs and diplomats

New government contains no politicians

By The Associated Press

ROME — Premier Mario Monti formed a new Italian government without a single politician Wednesday, drawing from the ranks of bankers, diplomats and business executives to create a team to steer Italy away from financial disaster. The 68-year-old former European Union competition commissioner told reporters he will serve as Italy’s economy minister as well as its premier as he seeks “sacrifices” from across the political spectrum to solve the economy’s woes and get it growing again. After introducing his government, Monti and his new Cabinet ministers were sworn in at a solemn ceremony at the presidential palace, formally ending Silvio Berlusconi’s 3 1/2-yearold government and the media mogul’s 17-year-long political dominance. Berlusconi and Monti later shared a handshake in an unofficial handover of power at the premier’s office. Monti said he will lay out his emergency plan Thursday in the Senate before a confidence vote. A second vote, in the lower Chamber of Deputies,

will follow, likely on Friday. He stressed that economic growth is a top priority. Greece’s new coalition government easily won a confidence vote in parlia-

ment Wednesday, backing a pledge by Prime Minister Lucas Papademos to speed up long-term reforms and secure a massive new bailout deal involving banks and rescue creditors.

The government formed last week by the majority Socialists, rival conservatives and a small right-wing nationalist party won the vote with 255 in favor and only 38 against in the 300member parliament. Papademos’ government, which is temporary and only expected to be in power for a few months, is tasked with pushing through the (euro) 130 billion new debt deal agreed on last month and securing a vital installment of Greece’s initial bailout loan, without which the country faces a potentially catastrophic default in a month’s time. He must also oversee the implementation of a raft of austerity measures already passed, including increased taxes and the suspension of about 30,000 civil servants on partial pay. Hopes for his new administration won Italy some respite in financial markets Wednesday, but the relief didn’t last long. By afternoon, the yield or interest rate on 10-year Italian bonds was back dangerously near 7 percent — the threshold that eventually forced Greece, Ireland and Portugal to seek bailouts.

Rebels attack Syrian forces; President Assad facing worldwide isolationism An Arab affairs expert says Syrian leader’s days in power are numbered.

By The Associated Press

Syria’s president faced a growing challenge to his iron rule from home and abroad Wednesday, with renegade troops launching their most daring attack yet on the military and world leaders looking at possibilities for a regime without Bashar Assad. France recalled its ambassador to Damascus in the wake of recent attacks against diplomatic mis-

sions and increasing violence stemming from the 8-month-old uprising. French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said warned that “the vise is tightening” around Assad, and a government spokeswoman said Paris is working with the Syrian opposition to find an alternative to the regime. The move comes as the 22-member Arab League formally suspended Damascus over the crackdown,

which the U.N. estimates has killed more than 3,500 people, and threatened economic sanctions if the regime continues to violate an Arab-brokered peace plan. The foreign ministers also gave the Syrian government three days to respond to an Arab peace plan that involves sending an Arab League delegation to monitor compliance. “Economic sanctions are cer-

tainly possible if the Syrian government does not respond,” said Qatari Foreign Minister Hamad bin Jassim. Gamal Abdel Gawad, an Arab affairs expert in Cairo, said the League’s vote suggests Arab leaders are scrambling to influence the type of regime Syria sees in the future. “Regime change is unavoidable,” he said.

Mayor’s son now full-time teacher W-B Area School Board changes Leighton’s status from full-time substitute. By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – WilkesBarre Area School Board unanimously voted Wednesday to change the status of Tom Leighton – the son of WilkesBarre’s mayor – from full-time substitute teacher to full-time teacher. The younger Leighton The district was hired as a had not refull-time subplaced 13 stitute near retiring the start of the teachers in an school year afeffort to save ter enrollment in the sixthmoney this grade class at year, but Dodson Elementary beNamey came too high, warned back and classes then that the were split to district would keep numbers hire new staff manageable. The city and if enrollment district are grew enough separate entito warrant it. ties run by separate elected bodies, but that move sparked multiple calls to The Times Leader alleging Leighton lacked experience other teachers had. At the time, Superintendent Jeff Namey insisted there was nothing political about the decision. District policy is to give first preference for such jobs to teachers who performed well as full-time substitutes in the district previously, which put Leighton high on

the list. The district had not replaced 13 retiring teachers in an effort to save money this year, but Leighton Namey warned back then that the district would hire new staff if enrollment grew enough to warrant it. Namey said Wednesday that enrollment had stabilized at the higher number, justifying making Leighton a full-time teacher. During the meeting, board member Christine Katsock criticized the Joint Operating Committee that runs the Wilkes-Barre Area Career and Technical Center for granting raises to administrators and other employees totaling about $29,000. The JOC is comprised of representatives from school boards of five districts that send students to the center, including five representatives from Wilkes-Barre Area, four of whom were at

Wednesday’s meeting: James Fisher, Phillip Latinski, Robert Corcoran and Gary Polakoski. Katsock noted that many districts, including WilkesBarre Area, froze pay for such employees, who are not unionized but do get contracts under a state law known as Act 93. Katsock dubbed the raises at the career center “irresponsible” in a time of extremely tight budgets and asked that the Wilkes-Barre Area representatives on the JOC vote to rescind the raises as soon as possible. The board also made the following appointments: Kristen Hudack and Samantha Page as full-time substitute teachers; Christopher Gray, Geoffrey Bell and Nikole Karkut as teachers; Alicia Erwine as Individual Education Plan coordinator; Danielle Sawicki as teacher associate; Louis Gordon and Steven Moorhead as substitute custodian; and Maria Sharpe as GAR junior high girls’ basketball head coach.

WILKES-BARRE – The Volunteers of America have come back home.

HARRISBURG – The Pennsylvania Senate Wednesday approved a bi-partisan, eight-bill package designed to provide relief to those affected by recent heavy flooding. State Sen. John Yudichak, D-Plymouth Township, praised the action that he says will create a reliable revenue stream and fast-track relief for communities, families and businesses still picking up the pieces from September’s record flooding. “Northeastern Pennsylvania families and businesses incurred millions of dollars in damages and are still struggling to cope with their extraordinary losses caused by September’s horrific flooding,” Yudichak said. “Senate Bill 1271 and the accompanying legislation came about as a result of our shared desire to make sure that rebuilding and rebounding from this natural disaster would be swift.” Sen. Lisa Baker, R-Lehman Township, said as the flood clean-up continues, it is evident that existing programs are not enough to help individuals, families and businesses who lost everything. “In the business district of Shickshinny, only two of 28 businesses are fully operational weeks after the flooding,” Baker said. “These bills will help to close the gap left after private insurance and federal aid have been ex-

• S.B. 1264 by Baker will provide for supplemental state assistance to those who have exhausted federal flood benefits and qualify under income eligibility guidelines. • S.B. 1266 by Sen.

hausted, and to support flood-damaged communities, families and businesses as they struggle to rebuild after the double-hit of two historic natural disasters.” Thousands of homes and businesses were damaged or destroyed in the flooding that accompanied Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee in late August and September. Some of the projects eligible include road and stream bank restoration in Plymouth, Jackson and Lake townships; bridge repair in Pittston Township, repairs to the Nanticoke/West Nanticoke Bridge; sewer system repairs in Duryea and West Pittston; flood control projects in Shickshinny, West Pittston, the Solomon Creek area of Wilkes-Barre and Hicks Creek area of Exeter. Yudichak announced last week the creation of a $4 million Luzerne County Small Business Loan Fund now available to the nearly 200

flood-impacted small businesses throughout Luzerne County. The loan program, funded through Luzerne County’s share of gaming revenues, will allow businesses to apply for loans of up to $100,000 with a 1 percent interest rate over 60 months. “Our region was already among the highest in unemployment across the state and if we did not work to support these businesses in their recovery efforts, we would have lost hundreds of jobs and further disadvantaged our local economy,” Yudichak said. Once flood-impacted businesses are no longer in need of the loan fund, it will continue as a market-driven revolving loan fund to foster continued local business development and job creation, Yudichak said. The flood relief package was sent to the House of Representatives for concurrence. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

No tax hike expected in city budget By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – If some people thought the 35.2 percent turnout on Election Day was dismal, they will probably feel worse when they find out about the 0 percent turnout for Wednesday night’s public hearing on the city’s 2012 budget. Three of the current city council members – Chairwoman Kathy Kane, Vice Chairman Mike Merritt and Bill Barrett – attended, along with newly elected members Maureen Lavelle, District C, and Tony George, District B. Council members Tony Thomas Jr., who did not see reelection in District B, and Rick Cronauer, the new magisterial district judge in South WilkesBarre, were not at the meeting. George Brown, the councilman-elect from District A, also did not attend. George and Lavelle said it

property valuation. Leighton said he intends to sit down with all five council members to review the budget and answer questions. The budget can be amended up until Feb. 15, Leighton said. Kane will become the city controller in January. “The people of Wilkes-Barre have endured much these past few years and we have worked extremely hard to maintain the services that they expect without sacrificing quality or passing the cost onto them unnecessarily,” Leighton said. “By no means is the City of WilkesBarre out of financial difficulty. We still face an uncertain future with escalating health care costs, increased employee benefit costs, unexpected natural disasters, and the full recovery of the economy remains elusive.” Leighton said the city can’t rely on spending cuts or increases in tax rates to survive. He said 2012 will be “a year of change and opportunity.” He said the 2012 budget is “a responsible portrait of where the city is financially and where it is going in the coming year.”

was “premature” for them to comment on the budget until they have reviewed it and meet with Mayor Tom Leighton Leighton. But it was the absence of residents/taxpayers that raised the eyebrows of council. “Am I surprised? No,” Kane said. The city’s budget will increase by nearly $1 million in 2012, but Leighton said there won’t be a tax hike, all city fees will remain the same and no employees will be furloughed. Leighton revealed his $44.8 million budget on Oct. 13. Wednesday’s hearing was to elicit input from council and the general public. Kane said council will vote on the budget at its meeting tonight. The work session begins at 5 p.m. at City Hall and council’s regular meeting will immediately follow. If approved by council, the tax millage rate will remain at 96.63 mills.

Man sentenced in two incidents Joshua Gimbi will serve at least 7 months in prison for robbery, criminal mischief. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A Drums man was sentenced Wednesday to at least seven months in jail on two unrelated charges in which police say he stole items from a woman’s car and used shoelaces taped together in an attempted robbery of a convenience store. Joshua Gimbi, 19, of North Hunter Highway, was sentenced on charges of criminal mischief and

robbery by Luzerne County Judge David Lupas. Lupas sentenced Gimbi to seven to 14 months in county prison, and Gimbi received 70 days credit for time already served. Police charged Gimbi after a July 29, 2010, incident where Jean Paisley, of Drums, reported that someone damaged her vehicle and removed a garage door opener and white plastic toothpicks. Paisley told police she saw Gimbi, her neighbor, shortly after the incident, and noticed that his hands were cut and that he had one of the toothpicks in his mouth. Paisley told police she asked Gimbi about breaking into her car, and he replied that “It was payback

for one of her kids taking his father’s credit card.” The woman said she didn’t know anything about a stolen credit card and that Gimbi later returned the stolen items. In an Aug. 11, 2010, incident, police said Gimbi entered the Fuel On convenient store on West Butler Drive in Drums, with a hood over his head and his hand in his pocket as if he were holding a handgun. While police were on their way to the store, they observed a station wagon near the store. When an officer approached the vehicle, Gimbi said, “My car will not start, and I did something stupid; I tried to rob the Fuel On gas station.” When police searched the vehi-

cle, they found shoelaces that were taped in the shape of a handgun. Gimbi told police he went to the store and approached the cashier, demanding money. After a cashier refused to hand over anything, Gimbi left and said he would come back to get the money later. Lupas ordered Gimbi to pay $659 in restitution to Paisley and her insurance company, and to have no contact with her. Gimbi was also ordered not to enter any Fuel On store, and will be immediately paroled upon serving his minimum sentence. Gimbi must undergo a mental health evaluation and is eligible for the county’s re-entry programs.

Edwardsville man charged with setting fire in own home By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

EDWARDSVILLE – Police allege a man intentionally set a fire in a bedroom of his home after an argument with his girlfriend. Police on Wednesday charged Joseph Edward Lech, 53, with setting the blaze at 85 Thomas St. and vandalizing the girlfriend’s car in a parking lot on Oct. 17 and Oct. 18. Lech was arraigned by

District Judge Paul Roberts in Kingston on three counts of recklessly endangering another person, two counts each of arson and simple assault and a single count of criminal mischief. He was released on $50,000 unsecured bail. According to the criminal complaint: Joann Goodman told police she was avoiding Lech for most of the day on Oct. 17 after arguing with him. Goodman and her daugh-

ter, Megan Matusick, left their Thomas Street house and arrived at West Side Café. They returned home around 10 p.m. to find a trashed bedroom. Goodman and Matusick left the residence a second time, going to the Full Moon Café, where they spotted Lech driving in the parking lot. Goodman left her car in the parking lot and went to a friend’s house. Matusick went to the

Thomas Street house to find it ransacked, while Goodman went to retrieve her car, finding it with four slashed tires and a broken windshield. Goodman arrived home and grabbed a knife she held onto for more than 30 minutes while Lech was inside the house. Police said in the criminal complaint that Lech stormed downstairs yelling for everyone to get out because the house was on fire.

Matusick asked Lech, “What was wrong with him” and was pushed by Lech through a window, the criminal complaint says. Police said a neighbor was evacuated from her residence due to the fire. Firefighters from several West Side fire departments extinguished the blaze. A preliminary hearing is scheduled on Nov. 23 before Roberts.

Boy suspended, security heightened at Dallas High School after threat on Facebook Times Leader staff

DALLAS TWP. – A sophomore student at Dallas High School was suspended Wednesday and may face expulsion after posting an alleged threatening message on the social media website Facebook. Superintendent Frank Galicki was quick to say there was no risk to students. Township Police Chief Robert Jolley said police were notified

Tuesday night from another student that a boy had posted a message on Facebook. “It was a very broad threat,” Jolley said without providing details of the message. Jolley said he contacted Galicki late Tuesday night and had extra police patrols at the school Wednesday morning. “This morning there was a situation where the young man posted

some open-ended threats on Facebook and when we were notified of this by the Dallas Township police, we waited for the young man to arrive at school,” Galicki said. “He did not arrive, and when we contacted his parents he was at home ill and his parents brought him in and we dealt with it.” Jolley said the boy’s parents were contacted and took the boy to school, where they were met by po-

lice. The police chief said “appropriate action” will be taken, referring to possible charges filed in juvenile court. Galicki said a letter was posted on the district’s website explaining the situation for concerned parents. He said the incident qualified for an immediate 10-day suspension with the possibility of expulsion.

Facebook warns of wave of spam, says it has managed to halt most BILLS The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Facebook said Wednesday that it has stopped most of the spam that has flooded many users’ pages with pictures showing graphic sex and violence. The social-networking company urged its 800 million-plus users to remain vigilant to keep their accounts from being hijacked. That includes reporting suspicious links on friends’ pages and not clicking on links that of-

The committee discussed numerous transition issues during a two-hour meeting preceding the executive session. Councilman-elect Eugene Kelleher said he noticed several committee members were listed as references by manager applicants, and he suggested these transition members refrain from participating in the search. “To me that’s a conflict. How can I be a reference for one person and then look at the others objectively?” Kelleher said. However, Councilman-elect Tim McGinley pointed out that applicants may have used references without seeking permission from committee members. Charter drafter and transition member Jim Haggerty also said some county employees have applied for the job, and it could shortchange them if they can’t

learned the suspect was not there. Police returned to the Dollar General and canvassed the neighborhood. About 30 minutes after the robbery, police were called back to the same Astro Food Mart on a report a man was mugged. That turned out to be a false report when a victim was not found. The robbery at the Dollar General store was the second in the same neighborhood within 24 hours. Police said a black or Hispanic male wearing a yellow polo shirt held up the nearby Family Dollar store on South Main Street at about 3:20 p.m. Tuesday. The man in that robbery placed packages on the counter

fer deals that are too good to be true. Social-networking sites are popular targets for spammers because people are more likely to trust and share content that comes from people they know. This makes spam, scams and viruses easy to spread. Still, Facebook says less than 4 percent of content shared on the site is spam. By comparison, about 74 percent of email is spam, according to security firm Symantec, though the bulk

use commissioners -- their bosses -- as references. Charter drafters wanted the three outgoing commissioners to serve on the committee for their expertise. Commissioner Thomas Cooney told the group he has decided not to evaluate and rank the manager applicants. Commissioner Stephen A. Urban, who was elected to council, has been abstaining from discussion about the manager and did not participate in the executive session, though he hasn’t disclosed whether he applied for the manager post. He said nobody has asked him to provide a reference. His son, Stephen J. Urban, also a councilman-elect, has also abstained and did not participate in the executive session, though he said Wednesday that he does not know if his father applied because he has not received the names of the applicants. Stephen J. Urban and Councilman-elect Rick Morelli have not received the applications be-

cause they did not sign a confidentiality agreement. Councilwoman-elect Linda McClosky Houck suggested a compromise that was approved by majority vote. Applicants who advance to the level in which references will be checked must supply new references replacing those of any transition members. Councilman-elect Edward Brominski expressed concerns about commissioners making a range of decisions that could be left to the new home rule administration. Stephen A. Urban said many decisions, such as plans to negotiate the purchase of a new records storage building, have been in the planning stage for a long time. “There’s a perception that we shouldn’t be doing anything. My term ends at noon on Jan. 2. I intend to do my duty until that period of time,” he said. Cooney said county officials plan to create a new records ar-

chivist position at today’s salary board meeting, but they will leave it up to the new administration to hire someone or eliminate the job. Charter drafter and transition member Richard Heffron said the commissioners should “let the council do their job that they were elected to do.” Morelli and Brominski suggested a meeting between the incoming council and outgoing commissioners to discuss the budget, expiring contracts, outstanding litigation and other pending issues. Cooney said all three commissioners are willing to meet with the new council, though he suggested waiting until after the proposed 2012 budget is unveiled the first week of December. Councilman-elect Rick Williams said he’d like the councilelect to hold a public work session to candidly discuss their hopes and plans for the new administration.

and lifted up his shirt exposing a firearm to a clerk, police said. Police said the man sped away in a small black hatchback. The two robberies at the dollar stores follow unrelated robberies on Monday at the Dollar General in the Back Mountain Plaza, Dallas Memorial Highway in Kingston Township, and at Family Dollar in the Luzerne Shopping Plaza, Union Street in Pringle. There were also attempted robberies Monday at McDonald’s on Kidder Street, WilkesBarre, and at the Uni Mart on North Main Street, Plains Township. Authorities are looking into

whether a man jailed Monday afternoon at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility on a probation violation is responsible for the four incidents on Mon-

day. City police are continuing to investigate the armed robbery at Taco Bell on Kidder Street Sunday night.

Dave Sanko, executive director of the Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors, was pleased with an amendment offered by state Rep. Matt Baker, R-Wellsboro, that would let townships and boroughs set their own drilling regulations as long as the restrictions were in line with zoning for other types of industrial sites. Sanko, supported by the directors of five other statewide municipal government associations, on Monday sent a memo to House members railing against the section of the bill pre-empting local government rights. According to the amendment, if a driller believed a municipality’s zoning was unreasonable, it could appeal to the state Attorney General and, if the Attorney General found that the ordinance did not allow for reasonable development of oil and gas, the municipality wouldn’t receive any impact fee money. Sanko said the amended House Bill 1950 is easier to swallow than Senate Bill 1100, which passed Tuesday night by a 29-20 vote. That bill would levy a $50,000per-well fee in the first year that would decline to $10,000 during the 11th through 20th years. The fee would increase if natural gas prices rise. About 55 percent of the revenue would go to local governments, with 45 percent allocated for statewide initiatives. Yudichak said the bill had good provisions that members negotiated over the last few months, but he voted against it for several reasons.

“It woefully falls short of the revenue that we’re goingtoneedtomake Find links to sure proper protecthe bills, tions are in place visit for our land, water www.times and environment,” leader.com Yudichak said, calling the legislation “short-term thinking” by the Corbett administration and House Republicans. Yudichak also said language that “universally pre-empts all local zoning rights” is a “poison pill” that sets “a dangerous precedent in Pennsylvania.” Sen. John Blake, D-Archbald, expressed similar concerns. Baker said she supported a failed amendment to remove the pre-emption language from the bill, but voted in favor anyway because “In many respects, this bill improves the existing situation for Pennsylvania and for our residents.” “This may not be the ideal fee structure, revenue yield, or funding distribution. But it seems a fair beginning,” Baker said in a press release. “If experience shows insufficiencies or unintended consequences, those can always be addressed. The only thing we know for certain now is that we cannot get the revenue our communities need until a plan is passed and signed into law.” House Finance Committee Minority Chairwoman Phyllis Mundy said that when House Bill1950 was sent from the committee to the House floor for debate, it was an “extremely weak, ill-conceived bill.” “Not only do local governments lose control, but there is little in place to protect residents, the environment and property values,” Mundy has said.

A newly elected county council, of which Urban also is a part, will take the reins on Jan. 2.

OTHER OPINION: GUN RIGHTS

Felons dangerous and still armed

ONSERVATIVE politicians are fond of saying that no new gun laws are needed – it’s just a matter of enforcing those on the books. So why do felons find it so easy to obtain firearms – legally – after they leave prison? People convicted of felonies supposedly forfeit their right to own firearms under federal law. But, as The New York Times reported Monday, “thousands of felons across the country have those rights reinstated, often with little or no review.” It happens not only with relatively minor offenses; the Times reported that in several states even someone convicted of violent crimes, including first-degree murder, can have his gun rights restored. In the past, only a small number of felons could do this, but the numbers swelled in the late 1980s, after Congress started letting EDITORIAL BOARD

states decide reinstatements, a policy supported by the National Rifle Association (of course). So what has states’ rights done to people’s rights? The Times found the horror stories anybody would reasonably expect when irresponsibility and firearms are mixed. A convicted murderer, after his release from prison, shot and wounded three police officers in a Minneapolis suburb after his firearms rights were restored automatically. And so the story goes, one absurdity after another. Pennsylvania was not singled out in the Times (although Ohio was, as one of 11 states with laws on “gun restoration” that are so permissive as to be an invitation to trouble). But felons in Pennsylvania also can petition courts to get back their guns, so there’s plenty of reason to share the national concern. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Join in Great American Smokeout to quit the habit TODAY, THE third Thursday of November, was selected by the American Cancer Society 36 years ago as the day of the Great American Smokeout. It began as a day to encourage smokers to quit smoking for just one day, hoping it would last a lifetime and extend their lives. Yet, more than 46 million Americans still smoke. Tobacco products – cigarettes, cigars, pipes and smokeless tobacco – are all addictive. Most people acknowledge that smoking is harmful, and those who use tobacco, especially smokers, want to quit. In fact, nearly 35 million people make a serious attempt to quit each year. Unfortunately, most people who try to quit on their own relapse, often within a week. Why is it so hard to quit? Why does it take, on average, five to six attempts before someone successfully stops? With each puff of a cigarette, a smoker pulls nicotine and other toxins into the lungs, where it is absorbed into the bloodstream and hits the brain within seven seconds. In archived tobacco companies’ files, they noted their secret manipulations of nicotine to keep smokers from quitting and attract youth to smoking. Philip Morris in its Marlboro brand used ammonia to alter the nicotine content and addict many young people quickly. In August 2006, federal Judge Gladys Kessler ruled that major U.S. tobacco manufacturers designed their cigarettes to pre-

PSU case referred due to wife’s family tie, ex-DA says

Brother of former Centre County DA’s wife is adopted son of coach charged with abuse. By GENARO C. ARMAS Associated Press

STATE COLLEGE — A former Pennsylvania county prosecutor said Wednesday that he referred an allegation that former Penn State assistant coach Jerry Sandusky had sexually abused a child to state prosecutors because his wife’s brother was Sandusky’s adopted son. Former Centre County District Attorney Michael Madeira said he cited the possible conflict of interest in passing the 2009 re-

port to the state attorney general’s office, which at the time was headed by now-Gov. Tom Corbett. “I reviewed it and I made the decision it needed to be investigated further,” Madeira said. “But the apparent conflict of interest created an impediment for me to make those kinds of decisions.” Sandusky was charged Nov. 5 with 40 criminal counts that accuse him of sexually abusing eight boys over 15 years. Madeira revealed his family tie to Sandusky on Wednesday. He said he hasn’t spoken to his brother-in-law in years and rarely spoke to Sandusky. “I can count on one hand the

number of times I’ve spoken with Jerry Sandusky or my wife’s brother,” he said Wednesday. Madeira’s wife, Lisa, also was adopted, but by a different family. Madeira declined to identify his brother-in-law by name. Asked if he had any concerns over how his wife’s brother was treated by Sandusky, Madeira said, “My wife hasn’t expressed anything like that to me, and I don’t know them well enough to have an opinion on that.” The case initially brought to Madeira is referred to in the 23page grand jury report as “Victim 1.” That report said the victim testified about instances of abuse that happened in 2007 and 2008, and that Sandusky had contact

with the boy at a high school in Clinton County, just north of Centre. Madeira said the case was referred to him by Clinton County prosecutors in early 2009 after they determined that the allega-

tions mainly occurred in Centre County. He said he was not aware of any previous allegations against Sandusky and that he had no further contact with the investigation after referring it to the attorney general’s office.

The grand jury report detailed a 1998 investigation by Penn State police, begun after an 11year-old boy’s mother complained Sandusky had showered with her son in the football facilities. Then-District Attorney Ray Gricar declined to file charges. Gricar was the DA before Madeira took office, and the Sandusky case has renewed attention on the mystery surrounding Gricar’s whereabouts. Gricar disappeared in April 2005 and was declared legally dead earlier this year. Investigators have said they don’t believe there’s a connection between his disappearance and the decision to not charge Sandusky.

Gov. Corbett defends handling of Sandusky investigation By JOHN P. MARTIN The Philadelphia Inquirer

spond for a police call. Mountz also noted the 23page grand jury report was the state attorney general’s summary of testimony, so it’s unclear what McQueary’s full testimony was. The news came after a new judge was assigned to handle the child sex abuse charges against Sandusky, whose televised defense earlier this week drew a rebuke from a lawyer for one of his accusers. The change removed a State College judge with ties to a charity founded by Sandusky for at-risk children, The Second Mile. Harrisburg attorney Ben Andreozzi said he represents a client who will testify against Sandusky, who is accused of abusing eight boys, some on campus, over 15 years. “I am appalled by the fact that Mr. Sandusky has elected to re-victimize these young men at a time when they should be healing,” Andreozzi said in a statement released by his office. “He fully intends to testify that he was severely sexually assaulted by Mr. Sandusky.” Sandusky’s lawyer, Joe Amendola, appeared with him on NBC’s “Rock Center” on Monday night and cast doubt on the evidence in the case. “We anticipate we’re going to have at least several of those kids come forward and say, ‘This never happened. This is me. This is the allegation. It never occurred,”’ Amendola said. Andreozzi said he has his “finger on the pulse” of the case and knows of no accusers changing their stories or refusing to testify.

eral has come under criticism in recent days for allowing a man now accused of molesting eight Corbett children to remain free for nearly three years before his arrest earlier this month.

“To the contrary, others are actually coming forward, and I will have more information for you later this week,” Andreozzi said. Sandusky, 67, appeared on the show by phone and said he had showered with boys but never molested them. Sandusky is due in court on Dec. 7, and the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts announced that a Westmoreland County senior district judge would preside over his preliminary hearing. Robert E. Scott is taking over the hearing from Centre County District Judge Leslie Dutchcot. Dutchcot has donated money to The Second Mile, where authorities say Sandusky met his victims. The office said Scott has no known ties to Penn State or The Second Mile. Amendola defended the decision to have his client go on television, telling the Centre Daily Times on Wednesday the move was designed to demonstrate he had a defense. “The more people who hear him explain that he didn’t commit the acts of which he’s been charged, the better off he’s going to be down the road,” Amendola told the newspaper. It remains unclear how many accusers have surfaced more than a week after state police and the attorney general’s office said at a news conference they were seeking additional potential victims and witnesses. State police spokeswoman Maria Finn said investigators have told her that published accounts reporting how many people have come forward are inaccurate and they are not disclosing their internal figures. Some plaintiffs’ lawyers are starting to advertise on their websites for potential

“If during the time when I was in office we could have been at a point to make an arrest, we would have made an arrest,” Corbett said during a news conference Wednesday in Philadelphia.

resented about 150 child sex victims, many of them in clergy abuse cases, said he is following the Penn State case closely. He declined to say if he was representing anyone accusing Sandusky of abuse. “The real significance of what happened in the Sandusky situation is that people are beginning to understand the cover-up that goes on in

that investigators needed to corroborate the information received in the initial report and that the investigation took the time it needed. “Could anybody guarantee that he wasn’t out there touching children?” the governor said. “There are no guarantees . . . but we did what we thought was in the best interest of this investigation.”

any structural organization that employs a pedophile,” he said. “And that’s why these pedophiles are running wild.” “What’s the answer? One of the answers is to allow these victims the right to go to court and file suit against not only the pedophile but the group that employed them ... and didn’t do anything,” Abramowitch said. Abramowitch long fought to get around the legal time limit for victims to sue the Roman Catholic Church for decades-old abuse. In 2005, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court rejected his argument that the suits should go through on grounds the church had concealed the abuse. In State College, Penn State announced a physician and member of its board of trustees who played football and wrestled for the school would serve as acting athletic director. The school named Dr. David M. Joyner, an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in sports medicine and a business consultant, as the interim replacement for Tim Curley. Curley is on leave as athletic director as he defends himself against criminal charges that he failed to properly alert authorities when told of an allegation of a sexual assault by Sandusky against a child and that he lied to a grand jury. He maintains his innocence. Joyner’s position on the board, where he has been a trustee since 2000, is being suspended as he takes on the new duties. Also Wednesday: • U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, DPa., introduced a bill that would require all adults to report child abuse and neglect to police or local child protective agencies. The Pennsylvania Demo-

crat said Wednesday he introduced the Speak Up to Protect Every Abused Kid Act in the wake of the PSU scandal. Casey’s bill requires states to mandate reporting or lose federal Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act funding. • The scandal’s fallout extended to former Pittsburgh Steelers great Franco Harris, whose relationship with a southwestern Pennsylvania racetrack and casino was put on hiatus after he chastised Penn State’s trustees for showing “no courage” for firing Paterno, who has not been charged with a crime and is not considered a target of prosecutors. Harris, who played for Paterno from 1968 to 1971, had recently signed on to be a spokesman for The Meadows Racetrack and Casino, located in Washington, Pa., about 30 minutes south of Pittsburgh. The track said it was a mutual decision. • A $3 million state grant that was earmarked for The Second Mile has been put on hold. Gov. Tom Corbett said Wednesday he knew Sandusky, was gone from the organization when the grant was approved earlier this year. Corbett, who said the funds were being withheld in light of the growing scandal, defended the decision to approve the grant while knowing about the allegations against Sandusky. “I could not act ... on this without saying certain things that would have possibly compromised the investigation,” Corbett said Wednesday. “So eventually we did approve it. I did not know the date that the (grand jury) presentment would come down ... as soon as it came down, we gave directions to stop (the grant).”

Much to be learned from a lone loss One game, two different perspectives. That’s what I found out when I talked to Valley View coach George Howanitz this week about his team’s only loss entering Saturday afternoon’s District 2 Class 3A championship game at Dallas. That game – a 7-6 setback to Scranton Prep on Oct. 21 – was a game I thought Valley View should have won after watching a tape of it. Prep played

JOHN ERZAR NOTEBOOK extremely well, but luck was also on the Cavaliers’ side at times. Twice, Valley View running backs Pat Jeffers and Tyler Phillips were a half-step away from touchdown runs, only to be tripped up after long gains. Then there was the underthrown pass to a wide-open Brian Lalli near the goal line that resulted in an intercep-

tion. Another pass hit Lalli in stride in the end zone that he couldn’t haul in. Four possible touchdowns – and what would have been a perfect regular season – were gone just like that. Howanitz, though, saw it in a different light. “You could say it was a couple plays,” Howanitz said, “but we just didn’t play well.” So I went back and found some examples. Like Valley View fumbling away the opening kickoff as well as the ensuing

kickoff after Prep scored. And a penalty that negated a pass to the Prep 10-yard line and led to the underthrown interception. And allowing Prep to keep its 16-play scoring drive going by letting the Cavaliers convert a fourth-and-4 play. And another fumble later in the game at the Prep 15. Dallas made similar mistakes in its only loss, 7-6 to Crestwood on Oct. 17. The Mountaineers had a punt blocked See ERZAR, Page 3B

Former Penn State football and wrestling All-American is the latest to replace Curley. By DEREK LEVARSE dlevarse@timesleader.com

Starting the process that will lead to choosing a permanent head football coach, Penn State announced Wednesday that David Joyner will be the university’s new acting athletic director. Joyner, a member of Penn State’s board of trustees since 2000, takes over for Mark Sherburne, who held the posiJoyner tion since Tim Curley stepped UP down on Nov. NEXT 6. “Dave Joyner Penn State at has served the Ohio State board with in3:30 p.m. tegrity, and he Saturday is internationalABC ly known for his work with the U.S. Olympic Committee,” Penn State president Rod Erickson said. “I am confident that he will bring that same integrity to his new role.” Sherburne will return to his previous role as associate athletic director. “I would like to thank Mark for filling this leadership role when asked last week,” Erickson said. “I am grateful for his willingness to do what was needed to move us forward. Now, as he returns to his regular duties, we look for his continued leadership in that role.” Joyner will suspend his membership on the board of trustees while serving as acting athletic director. Though the switch may not be permanent for him, Joyner would be a key figure in any search for a football coach for the 2012 season and beyond. Erickson said there is no set timetable for hiring a full-time coach. Interim coach Tom Bradley said he has not been told anything about his future with the program or that of the coaching staff. Joyner, like Curley and Sherburne, is a former Penn State football player and was a captain on the 1971 squad. He was an All-American in both football and wrestling, finishing as a national runner-up in the heavySee PSU, Page 3B

Managers Maddon, Gibson earn awards

By BEN WALKER AP Baseball Writer

NEW YORK — Kirk Gibson and Joe Maddon won Manager of the Year awards Wednesday — one for overseeing a worstto-first turnaround that lasted all season, the other after a frantic playoff push in the final month. Gibson was a clear choice in the NL for guiding the Arizona Diamondbacks to the West title. A former MVP as a roughand-tumble outfielder, Gibson was honored in his first full season as a big league manager. “I certainly had a vision,” Gibson said on a conference call during a vacation in

northern Michigan, adding, “It’s certainly not all because of me.” Maddon won the AL award for the second time. He was an easy pick after helping the Tampa Bay Rays overGibson came a nine-game deficit to beat out Boston for the wild-card spot on the last day. It was the biggest rally any team had made in September to claim a playoff berth. “I like to think of it as a validation of the Rays’ way of doing things,” Maddon said on a conference call while visiting family

and friends in Hazleton, Pa. The results were announced by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. The NL Cy Young Award winner will be revealed Thursday, with Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers the leading candidate. Gibson and the Diamondbacks went 94-68, a year after he took over in midseason as Arizona went 65-97. Stressing fundamentals and details from the first day of spring training, the 54-year-old Gibson pushed his team into the playoffs, where it lost to Milwaukee in the See MANAGERS, Page 6B

Johnson dealing with first finale out of the spotlight since 2004 By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Just a few weeks after winning his first NASCAR championship, Jimmie Johnson was goofing around with his friends when he decided to climb atop a golf cart during a charity event. As he pretended to surf, Johnson fell off the cart and broke his wrist. Concerned that such a silly incident could tarnish his reputation, or anger his team and sponsors, he lied about the circumstances of the accident. Of course, the truth eventually came

out, and Johnson was even more embarrassed. So began a journey of personal growth and maturation for one of NASCAR’s greatest drivers. For some athletes, that means toning down the nightlife and focusing on the job. For Johnson, it’s been more about balancing the two sides of personality — the talented, super ambi-

PAUL SOKOLOSKI OPINION

Job suggestions for a man now in need of one

e no longer has to worry about which quarterback to play. Or disciplining Penn State football players who skipped a day of class.. Or trying to show everyone what he believes is the right way. So maybe Joe Paterno – who was dumped as Penn State’s head football coach last week after 46 years of service – could use his newfound free time to tackle some of those opportunities he’s been putting off all these years. Maybe it’s time for him to sharpen up his resume and offer it up to – gulp – the NFL. Granted, Paterno has spurned NFL offers through the ages. And the NFL might not be as interested in him now. But one thing in his favor is that at the age of 84, JoePa is not going to threaten to be an ageless NFL wonder. Heck, he’d never have a chance in a league where coaches are hired seemingly to be fired. Over the past 40-some years, Paterno found his job at Penn State too beloved to entertain offers from the Pittsburgh Steelers. And the New York Giants. And the New England Patriots. But a few quiet weekends may tempt him out of his State College ranch home and the unemployment line. Consider the options. The Steelers seem set with current head coach Mike Tomlin, who takes his team to the Super Bowl every other season. The Patriots probably wouldn’t be interested again, after they thought they’d landed Paterno nearly 40 years ago only to have him back out of the job. Besides, they already have a supersecretive coach in Super Bowl star Bill Belichick, who blazes past Paterno when it comes to backing out of jobs at the blink of an eye. Belichick was the head coach of the New York Jets for all of about 10 seconds. The New York Giants might be Paterno’s best bet, with their current head coach Tom Coughlin coaching in the final year of his contract. But Paterno’s old Penn State connection Ernie Accorsi is no longer the general manager of the Giants, and Coughlin’s Giants are in first place in the NFC East. If they stay there, Paterno may just be out of luck. OK, so maybe Paterno’s ship has passed on the NFL. Maybe he can try his luck at political football? Paterno is familiar with politics. He was good pals with former United States presidents Gerald Ford and George H.W. Bush. And he has a staunch fan base. As Penn State’s coach, Paterno inspired so much loyalty that his supporters blindly defend him even in the face of being associated with a cover-up in Penn State’s sex scandal. Geez, Bill Clinton didn’t have that much juice. Maybe Paterno can generate enough support to overwhelm Barack Obama in the 2012 presidential race. The GOP seems to be searching for a candidate. Paterno for president anyone? If he can work the campaign trail even close to the way he hit the college recruiting trail, Paterno could win in a landslide. Or maybe that’s a victory a little out of reach for Paterno these days. Oh well. As Paterno always bemoaned when he tried to put off retirement, he could always go mow the lawn.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Source: Big East focuses on BYU for west wing By RALPH D. RUSSO AP College Football Writer

NEW YORK — The Big East is working hard to put BYU in its new west wing. A person with knowledge of the conference’s expansion plans tells The Associated Press that Big East officials have made adding BYU a priority as they try to become a 12-team football conference. The person spoke on condition of anonymity Wednesday because negotiations were supposed to remain confidential. BYU is in its first season as football independent. If it did move to the Big East it would be for football only. The school’s

other teams play in the West Coast Conference. The Big East is close to adding as many as seven new members, including Boise State, Air Force and Navy for football only, and SMU, Houston and UCF in all sports. Boise State is primed to make the jump to the Big East. Two weeks ago, the Idaho State Board of Education gave the school permission to pursue membership and leave the Mountain West Conference. But with Boise State nearly 1,900 miles away from the closest current Big East member — Louisville — school officials have let Big East Commissioner John Marinatto know that they would

prefer a western partner. BYU is located in Provo, Utah. Provo and Boise are 382 miles apart. BYU football coach Bronco Mendenhall said last week that there was a “push” by the Big East to have BYU join. The Big East has been working toward adding Boise State, the two military academies and the three Conference USA schools for more than a month. The plan was formulated in response to the announcement on Sept. 18 that Pittsburgh and Syracuse were leaving for the Atlantic Coast Conference. Then another spot in the Big East opened late last month when West Virginia announced it was moving to the Big 12. At that

point, Temple and Memphis seemed like strong candidates to join the league, but BYU has moved past those schools now, the person said. The C-USA schools are ready to make the move and Navy also seems to be leaning heavily toward joining, the person said. Air Force has been non-committal about leaving the Mountain West, and that is part of the reason why such focus has been placed on adding BYU, the person said. BYU’s television deals could complicate the process. When BYU left the Mountain West Conference last year to become a football independent, it signed a deal with ESPN that

that led to the Comets’ only touchdown and also missed an extra point. So it might not be the best team that wins Saturday, but the one that makes the fewest mistakes. STAYING AT MEMORIAL A rumor has been circulating the Wyoming Area at GAR game was being shifted across to the river to Wyoming Valley West’s stadium. Not true. There was an issue with the lights last Friday at WilkesBarre Memorial and GAR and Lakeland had to come back Saturday afternoon to complete their District 2 Class 2A semifinal game. Since then, the lights have been repaired and are ready to go. TV AND RADIO WQMY-TV will be televising the D2-3A championship game between Valley View and Dallas at 1 p.m. Saturday. FOX Sports Radio The Game will broadcast that game as well as the D2-A championship game Friday night between Riverside and Old Forge. It appears the D2-2A championship game between Wyoming Area and GAR won’t be available anywhere but at the stadium. Wyomingareafootball.org has done Internet broadcasts of all Warrior games this season, but its website says it is unlikely it will be able to carry the game. AGAINST THE ODDS

Curley remains on paid administrative leave while facing charges of perjury and failure to report in connection to the sexual abuse investigation of former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky.

District 2 has held its own Class A tournament since 2006. Prior to that, it was often lumped in with another district in a subregional. In those five years, the D2-A champion has been seeded first or second at the start of the tournament. Riverside enters Friday’s game with secondseeded Old Forge seeded fourth. TRICKLEDOWN EFFECT? Allentown Allen and Allentown Dieruff, two of the worst Class 4A programs in the state, announced Tuesday that the football teams will be leaving the powerful Lehigh Valley Conference and moving to the Mountain Valley Conference. This will now give each MVC team eight conference games instead of six, and that could affect the WVC schedules for the 2012 and 2013 seasons. Crestwood played two MVC teams the past two years, while Coughlin, Dallas, Hazleton Area, Tunkhannock, William-

Erickson said Friday that Curley’s continued employment with the university would be a topic of discussion for the board in the coming weeks. Dealing with distraction In the past week, it seems as though most of State College has been to Joe Paterno’s house a few blocks off of campus. Tom Bradley has not been one of the visitors. Though Penn State’s interim coach has called his predecessor and mentor a few times in the past week, he said he’s putting off the home visit because he knows what the reaction will be. Same as on the phone calls.

RECALLING TWO COACHES I’d like to mention two coach-

es who passed away this year whom I knew well. The first is Ray McNulty, who died in May. Ray coached some bad West Side Tech football teams, but from them spawned some great stories. My favorite was the time McNulty and his Titans were trotting off the field at halftime and he glanced at the concession stand. There in line was one of his players in complete uniform and wearing his helmet. McNulty said he went over to him and asked him what he was doing. The player responded, “I’m hungry.” McNulty told him to hurry up. The other was Vince Zinkavich, who passed away in August. Vince coached at the former Wyoming High School and later was an assistant at Wyoming Area after the merger. I didn’t know him as a coach but as my favorite teacher at Wyoming Area. Zinkavich, who taught industrial arts, was a wordsmith when it came to sarcasm.

“I knew what he was gonna say,” Bradley said. “I knew the minute I asked the question. I could have put the phone down. I knew what the answer was: ‘Why are you coming over here, wasting your time?’ “And if I call him today, he’s going to ask why am I calling him. ‘What are you calling me for? You’ve got things to do.’ “He’s been through this. He understands all the things that have to be done.” Bradley said he has been trying to pass that message along to players, saying he wanted to minimize distractions headed into Saturday’s game at Ohio State.

That has been anything but simple following Paterno’s dismissal last week and the ongoing Sandusky investigation, which continues to be national news. “I’m sure it’s a distraction,” Bradley said. “The one thing I’ve tried to do is communicate. I’m getting around to everybody I possibly can. I’m spending time with them. I’m trying to talk to our captains. I’m just trying to communicate with them. “And there’s questions they have. If anybody has a question, hey, they know where my office is. They know my cell phone number. They know how to get a hold of me.”

sport and Wyoming Valley West played one each. CLOSER TO 15 WEEKS The PIAA’s desire to slice the high school football season from 16 to 15 weeks passed a second reading at the October meeting. That means it will likely be up for a vote at the Board of Directors meetings scheduled for Dec. 15-16 in Hershey. If it passes, schools can still play a 10-game regular-season schedule by cutting scrimmages from two to one and starting the season a week earlier. However, an entire district – not select teams within a district – would have to agree to start the season a week earlier. For example, one team couldn’t schedule a game the week usually reserved for the second scrimmage while another in the district decides it would rather have a scrimmage. It’s everybody or nobody.

gives the network the rights to air a minimum of three football games a season. The deal runs through 2018. The school also has its own cable network, which airs at least one football game a season. The Big East will begin negotiating a new television deal next year. Part of the Big East’s recruiting pitch has been that the new members would stand to make substantially more in television revenue by joining the league. Boise State President Bob Kustra estimated the annual payout to Big East football members at $3.7 million under its current TV contract, compared to the $1.9 million projected as the top

payout in the Mountain West. Big East officials believe the league will be able to more than double payouts to members with the league’s next TV deal. Even if the Big East can get all seven schools to join, there is no guarantee the new Big East will be up and running by 2012. Conference USA bylaws would stand in the way of SMU, Houston and UCF joining in 2012, and it would be less costly for Boise State and Air Force to join the Big East in 2013 instead of next year. Marinatto has been adamant about making Pitt, Syracuse and West Virginia comply with the league’s bylaws and stay in the league until 2014.

JOHNSON

“The last five years, from a professional standpoint, the biggest thing has just been the confidence I now have in my own shoes,” he said. “The race track has always been who I am, and I spent the majority of my life as like a “B” or “C” driver. You don’t build a lot of confidence being a mid-packer. “So being able to prove to myself, to our industry, what I’m capable of, it’s helped me gain a lot of confidence in myself, in my role in the sport and how I fit into the sport. It’s also allowed me to have a lot more fun.” Johnson goes into Homestead ranked fifth in the standings, and when Sunday’s race concludes, either Carl Edwards or Tony Stewart will officially end his reign. He’s motivated to move up in the standings — Johnson has never finished lower than fifth in points — and he’s anxious to sit down with crew chief Chad Knaus to figure out how they can get back to the top of NASCAR. Stewart doesn’t think NASCAR will ever see anything like Johnson and the No. 48 team again. “I think it’s been absolutely remarkable,” Stewart said. “I think he holds his head up high knowing what they’ve accomplished. That’s something in NASCAR history that I would put my money on that it will never happen again.” Four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon, who brought Johnson to the attention of team owner Rick Hendrick and mentored him a bit in Johnson’s early Cup years, believes the No. 48 team will be back. “I said this a while back, before they won a championship, they were just right on the edge of winning that championship, and I said ‘Once they win one, watch out, these guys are going to go on quite a roll,’ “ Gordon said. “When the chemistry is there and you’ve got great equipment like we have at Hendrick, you’ve got a great crew chief in Chad Knaus as well as Jimmie Johnson being a great driver ... they got on quite a run. “It’s something you only see every so often. I don’t know if we’ll ever see five in a row, but you will see from time to time where a team is just that good for a long period of time. I think this will be a year where they learn a lot, they grow a lot from and might even make them stronger.” That’s what Johnson is hoping for. He plans to sleep some more this offseason, have fun with his friends and his family, and have a quiet offseason. But he’s adamant he’ll be back in 2012, when his first goal will be winning the Daytona 500 with Knaus on the pit box. The crew chief was suspended by NASCAR when Johnson won NASCAR’s biggest race in 2006. “We need to really dig deep this winter, make sure we’re focused on the right areas,” he said. “I want to win another Daytona 500, I want to win one with Chad there. He needs that photo, he needs that experience. And I want to win championships. I want to win more championships. “That’s the unfortunate part, winning races, you get that taste in your mouth and you want to keep winning races. And then you win championships. You want to keep winning them. You just have this desire to just keep winning. I don’t want to give anyone else a chance to hold that trophy.”

tious driver and the guy who likes to have a good time. In the early morning after his fourth championship, Johnson was found asleep on the curb outside his South Beach hotel when the car service arrived to take him to what ended up being a grueling day of media appearances for a hungover champion. There won’t be a celebration for Johnson this year. His record run of five consecutive championships came to an end with a whimper last weekend at Phoenix, where he crossed the finish line in 14th and was mathematically eliminated from title contention. Sunday will mark the first time since the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship format began in 2004 that Johnson won’t be eligible to win the title heading into the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway. “I’m definitely disappointed, but that’s motor sports,” Johnson said. “It’s a very tough business. What we did over the last five years was absolutely spectacular. Being on top for as long as we have been takes a lot of effort to maintain that. “It just takes a lot out of you. So this will be a nice winter to unplug and relax and dissect the different areas of the race team and come back stronger.” Nobody has been stronger the last five years — more, maybe, if you go back to 2003, when he finished second in the final points standings. He won eight races in 2004, the first year of the Chase, and finished eight points behind champion Kurt Busch. The next year, he went to Homestead ranked second and with leader Tony Stewart in reach, only to crash out of the race with a tire issue and finish a distant fifth in the final standings. Johnson left Homestead possessed. “The pressure I put on myself to win a championship was so great, it was like life or death in 2006,” Johnson said. “I watched two great opportunities pass me by in ‘04 and ‘05, and I wasn’t sure I was going to get another chance at a championship. So it was really like life or death for me in ‘06. Then when I won one, then came trying to chill out a little bit and learn to enjoy racing and enjoy the challenges and learning how to be more confident and comfortable in my own skin.” He’s the first to admit it’s not been an easy road. Johnson, a 35-year-old Californian, worked his entire life trying to wow sponsors into giving him the money he needed to pursue a racing career. It required him to be buttoned-up, the consummate professional and constant salesman. It left him guarded, and for a long time didn’t help him get the on-track success he craved. He was collecting a paycheck, but he didn’t start picking up wins until he signed with Hendrick Motorsports in late 2001. Even with that big break, Johnson kept a clear distinction between work and play that created the stereotype of a “plain, vanilla driver.” Here we are now, five championships, 55 victories and more than $108 million in purse winnings, and Johnson is that guy sparring with hateful fans on Twitter and unafraid to speak his mind.

Brust scores 17 as Badgers win

Elias, Brodeur lead Devils past Sabres on the road

The Associated Press

MADISON, Wis. — Reserve Ben Brust scored a career-high 17 points to lead No. 14 Wisconsin to a 68-41 win over Colgate on Wednesday night. Brust, a sophomore guard, scored 13 points in the first half, including four 3-pointers. The Badgers (2-0) were 8 of 14 from beyond the arc as they built a 42-20 halftime lead. It was the second straight game in double figures for Brust, who scored a total of 10 points in 15 games as a freshman. He hit his second 3-pointer from 25 feet out in front of the Colgate bench, and his fourth on a pull-up from the top of the key when no Raiders defender met him as he brought the ball up. He shot 6 of 11 from the floor and made half of his 8 3-point attempts. No other player scored in double figures for Wisconsin, which finished the game 10 of 23 from 3-point range. The Badgers hit 15 3s in their season-opening win over Kennesaw State on Saturday. Preseason All-America point guard Jordan Taylor was 3 of 4 from long range and Berggren added another 3 in the first half for the Badgers, who also outscored the Raiders 16-4 in the paint before the break Wisconsin cooled off in the second half, scoring just two points in the first 8 minutes, but their lead never fell below 18 as Colgate (1-1) shot 34.8 percent from the floor. Long Beach State 86, Pittsburgh 76 PITTSBURGH — Casper Ware scored a career-high 28 points and visiting Long Beach State ran away from No. 9 Pittsburgh. James Ennis added 19 points for the 49ers (2-0), who snapped Pitt’s 58-game nonconference winning streak at the Petersen Events Center with ease.

Brodeur has allowed 10 goals since his return. Zach Parise, Mark Fayne, and David Clarkson also scored for the Devils (9-7-1), who won for the second time in three games.

THE ULTIMATE Broncos have turned back the clock on offense BALL CONTEST T O O F NFL

By ARNIE STAPLETON AP Pro Football Writer

UP NEXT

DENVER — When John Elway returned to the Denver Broncos as chief of football operations last winter, he proclaimed that Tim Tebow had to become a pocket passer to succeed in the NFL. John Fox said the same thing when he was hired as coach. A 45-10 drubbing at the hands of the Detroit Lions last month changed that line of thinking. Tebow had played awful for 71⁄2 quarters, getting sacked 13 times and throwing everywhere it seemed but to his receivers. So, the Broncos decided to quit trying to turn Tebow into a prototypical pro passer and instead modified their offense to fit Tebow’s unique skill set. They all but dusted off the Dead Sea Scrolls in bringing back the option to the NFL, a style that made Tebow the best combination quarterback in NCAA history while at Florida. In back-to-back wins at Oakland and Kansas City — something even Elway never accomplished — Tebow operated an offense that ran the ball 93 times and threw it 30. The Broncos gained 543 yards on the ground and 182 through the air. Tebow completed just two passes against the Chiefs, but one was a 56-yard strike to Eric Deck-

er for the winning score as the Broncos (4-5) climbed within a game of the Raiders in the AFC West. Fox told NFL.com this week that if Tebow were running a conventional offense “he’d be screwed.” Asked about that comment Wednesday, Fox backtracked: “I think at the time we were watching the second half of the Detroit game and the point was that him or any other quarterback in that situation, down 24-3, is not enviable and is not a good spot to be in. There’s a lot of different ways to put it. “Or any game that you’re onedimensional and you have to throw the ball 30 times in a half and the other team knows it, it’s not good.” On the other hand, running the ball 30 times in a half would suit Fox just fine. “This week is going to be about stopping the run,” said Rex Ryan, whose New York Jets (5-4) visit Denver for a Thursday night game just four days after an emotional loss to New England. “Obviously going against Denver,

their priority is to run the football. You have to stop it or you don’t have to worry about playing pass defense or rushing the passer because they won’t throw it.” Ryan’s extensive college coaching resume early in his career gives him lots of experience in defending the option, as does his time with Brad Smith operating the wildcat for the Jets. So he tapped into that know-how during the short work week. Since Tebow supplanted Kyle Orton as the starting quarterback, the Broncos have rushed for an NFL-high 915 yards and moved up from 23rd in the league in rushing to second. Tebow has gained 283 of those yards. The Broncos ran the ball 87 percent of the time at Kansas City last weekend even though their top two tailbacks, Willis McGahee (left hamstring) and Knowshon Moreno (right knee), got hurt in the first quarter. “This past game was really interesting,” Ryan said. “They only put the ball up in the air eight times, but that’s all they needed to do. They were able to move the ball really effectively on the ground. The 55 rushing attempts, I think any true football fan appreciates that kind of style of play.

MLB squads looking to fill gaps By RICK GANO AP Sports Writer

AP FILE PHOTO

David Wright will likely stick with the Mets, but given the turmoil around the team, nothing has been ruled out.

Wright’s future still uncertain with N.Y. By RONALD BLUM AP Sports Writer

NEW YORK — David Wright understands why the New York Mets are open to listening to trade offers. After the Mets finished their third straight losing season, general manager Sandy Alderson said he couldn’t be certain any player would be back next year but he expected Wright would remain with the Mets. “If he feels like this move could benefit the team in the long run, you at least have to listen. So I see both sides of it,” Wright said Wednesday as the Mets announced plans to mark their 50th anniversary next year. A five-time All-Star third baseman who has spent his entire professional career with the Mets, Wright hit a career-low .254 with 14 homers and 61 RBIs this year. He was sidelined from mid-May to July 22 because of a stress fracture in his lower back. Wright has a “gut feeling” he will be back, but said it’s because he’s optimistic. “If the Mets feel like they can get what they want in return and it would help the organization moving forward, then, obviously, they would have to listen,” Wright said. In an interview with the New Yorker published in May, owner Fred Wilpon said of Wright: “A really good kid. A very good player. Not a superstar.” Wright, who turns 29 next month, is owed $15 million this year in the final season of a six-year deal that guaranteed him $53.5 million. The contract includes a $16 million club option for 2013 with a $1 million buyout, but

10th inning of the deciding Game 5 in the opening round. Gibson drew 28 of the 32 first-place votes and got 152 points. He was the only manager in either league to be listed on every ballot. Ron Roenicke of the NL Central champion Brewers was second with three firstplace votes and 92 points. Tony La Russa of the World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals was third with the other first-place vote and 24 points. Voting was completed before the start of the playoffs. The free-spirited Maddon added to the AL honor he won in 2008. The 57-yearold manager who likes to speak on a vast array of subjects beyond baseball never panicked, even when the Rays started out 0-6 this season after losing several players to free agency during the winter. Tampa Bay won its final five games to earn its playoff spot on the final day of the regular season, then lost to

not a no-trade provision. “Could it happen? Of course,” Wright said. “Am I thinking that it’s going to happen? I guess, no.” Wright has not spoken with Alderson since the end of the season. He has been paying attention to shortstop Jose Reyes, who became a free agent after a dozen years in the Mets’ organization. “Hopefully the organization values him the way I value him. I think he’s one of the premier players in baseball,” Wright said. “What he brings to the team is more than just what you see on the field. Obviously, he’s become almost like a brother to me over the years. It seems like we’ve been together forever, so it would be weird seeing him in a different uniform, but at the end of the day, he’s earned that right to test the market.” With the Mets ownership being sued by the trustee seeking to recover money for the victims of the Bernard Madoff Ponzi scheme, the team is planning to reduce payroll for 2012. Carlos Beltran and Francisco Rodriguez were traded during the 2011 season and now Reyes seems set to leave. Wright understands the salary that was shed may not be reallocated. “You can’t just go out there and start handing out these big, long crazy contracts because that’s kind of what got us into a little bit of trouble,”’ he said, while also making it clear he longs for success with the Mets. “You want to be remembered as a winner, and right now, that’s not the case because we haven’t won anything.” Texas in the first round. The Rays reached the playoffs for the third time in four years. “My goal has been to make the Rays into the next century’s Yankees, Red Sox, Cardinals,” he said. Maddon drew 26 of 28 first-place votes and had 133 points. Jim Leyland of the AL Central champion Detroit Tigers got the other pair of first-place votes and 54 points and Ron Washington of the AL champion Rangers was third with 31. Gibson was a two-time World Series champion, winning with Detroit and the Dodgers. He was the fourth former MVP to win the manager award, joining Joe Torre, Frank Robinson and Don Baylor. As a player, Gibson acknowledged he sometimes was “a little emotional ... a little stupid.” “As a manager, you can’t lose your composure,” he said. Gibson and Bob Melvin (2007) have won the manager award with Arizona. Maddon is the seventh multiple winner of the AL award. La Russa won three times in the AL and once in the NL.

MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Brewers are considering what approach to take as star slugger Prince Fielder tests the free agent market. With or without him, they want to be a force again in the NL Central. General manager Doug Melvin has plans for both scenarios. He says the Brewers, who won the division title in 2011, are balancing the finances of Fielder’s potential salary versus filling holes for 2012. Melvin and Brewers owner Mark Attanasio met with Fielder’s agent, Scott Boras, on Tuesday at the general managers meeting. “Obviously, the budget will change if we can keep Prince Fielder. That has to be an opportunitydriven budget,” Attanasio said Wednesday. “For the same reason, Doug has been meeting with some premium free agents, and if it’s the right fit for our club, then we’ll make a move. But we’re not going

to fill the payroll just for the sake of filling payroll.” The 27-year-old Fielder and St. Louis star Albert Pujols are the biggest names in the free agent market this season. Fielder, teaming with left fielder Ryan Braun, who signed a five-year, $105 million extension in April, helped the Brewers win the division title and advance to the league championship series. “We think we can compete even if we aren’t able to get Prince back,” Attanasio said. “There are potential free agents but for right now, we want to leave that spot open for Prince.” While Milwaukee was figuring what it might do should Fielder leave, the Red Sox and Cubs were still in the process of finding a manager. Boston owner John Henry and chairman Tom Werner had lunch with Dale Sveum, a candidate for both teams. “We had a good lunch,” Werner said after returning to a downtown

that. There were a lot of adjustments, so we’ll just wait and see what they have to say (Thursday),” McLane said Wednesday night. McLane said he’s leaving with mixed emotions, something that hit him as he sat in a meeting with other owners Wednesday. “Last night when I went to bed, I thought about it. I can remember 19 years ago how elated I was. It’s been a wonderful, wonderful ride,” he said. “Each of these owners have been my friends for 19 years. One of the strange things is, I’m one of the older owners right now,” McLane said. “There’s only seven or eight that have been here longer than I have. Been a world of turnover.” If the Astros switch to the AL West, it would create two 15-team leagues of three five-team divisions each. It’ll just be difficult for McLane — at least at first — to see his team in the other league.

Milwaukee hotel with Henry. He said the search hasn’t reached its conclusion. “We’re going to continue our discussions,” he added. Owners, who arrived Wednesday, and general managers were to finish their meetings Thursday. And owners were expected to approve the sale of the Houston Astros from Drayton McLane to Jim Crain. McLane bought the team in November 1992 for about $117 million and put the franchise up for sale in November. Major League Baseball told Crane it wouldn’t approve his purchase of the Astros unless he agreed to move the team to the American League, a person familiar with the negotiations told the The Associated Press. Crane reportedly agreed to the move in exchange for a drop in the sales price valued earlier this year at $680 million. The person who spoke to the AP couldn’t confirm the sales price. “We’ll let baseball talk about

Local casino tables lag

All but two Pennsylvania casinos, Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs and Mount Airy Casino Resort, added table games in the past year, according to a report released Wednesday by the state Gaming Control Board. Parx Casino in Bensalem near Philadelphia more than tripled the number of tables on its floor, to 183 from 57, giving it the most tables of the state’s 10 casinos. Sands Casino Resort in Bethlehem added 40 tables, bringing its total to 129. Sands’ $10.8 million in gross revenue in October was the highest in the state. Mohegan Sun had 84 tables this October, the same as last year. Mount Airy had three fewer tables this year, for a total of 72. Mount Airy’s revenue of $3.5 million was nearly 13 percent lower than in October 2010. Mohegan Sun’s revenue slipped 2 percent. The state collected $8.6 million in taxes on $53 million in table games revenue during October.

MOOSIC -- For three decades, Greg Santo’s automobile dealership has sold Lincolns. Starting Friday, the only brand of new vehicles the Moosic dealer will sell will be Volvo. Santo, owner of the namesake company, said the decision was made in part by the automaker. “Ford Motor Company’s vision is to adjust the number of

dealerships nationally to accurately align the right products with customer demand,” Santo said. Balanced against Santo’s recent acquisition of Volvo franchise rights for Luzerne County, the loss of Lincoln was easier to swallow. “The company’s Volvo franchise is experiencing increased demand,” Santo said. “Based on these factors, we have made the decision to focus our existing as-

WILKES-BARRE CHAMBER’S ANNUAL DINNER

A Massachusetts company that planned to build a $53 million flywheel energy storage plant in Hazle Township says it may have to abandon its reorganization effort and liquidate instead. Beacon Power said in a regulatory filing this week that its ability to operate as a going concern is uncertain. The company had received a $39 million loan from the Department of Energy before seeking bankruptcy protection. A Delaware judge earlier this month gave interim approval for Beacon to use some $3 million in cash collateral for the DOE loan to pay operating expenses during its reorganization. The DOE says Beacon’s budget projections assume that DOE will continue funding the loan while Beacon is in bankruptcy, which the government says it will not do.

The Pennsylvania Department of Revenue Board of Appeals will now accept requests for compromise of tax appeals. To propose a compromise, the petitioner must submit a written request by completing the Board of Appeals Request for Compromise form, found on the department’s website, www.revenue.state.pa.us. A compromise will only be considered when it illustrates doubt regarding liability or promotes effective tax administration.

WASHINGTON -- Some of Silicon Valley’s biggest names are threatening to leave the U.S. Chamber of Commerce over a bill that would make Web companies liable for pirated content that appears on their sites. Last month, Yahoo quietly quit the powerful business trade group, which supports the legislation. Google and the Consumer Electronics Association, which represents 2,200 firms, are warning they may do the same. The legislation could punish Web firms if copyrighted movies, songs or software appear on their sites. But it would address longstanding concerns from Hollywood studios, record labels and publishing houses, which lose $135 billion in revenues each year from piracy and counterfeiting, according to chamber estimates.

Small Business of the Year Award recipient Ruth Corcoran, owner of Cork Bar & Restaurant and Corcoran Communications, left, and Distinguished Citizen Award recipient Gerry O’Donnell, President of MotorWorld Automotive Group, arrive at the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber’s 127th annual dinner at the Genetti Hotel and Conference Center in Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday evening.

one was because Mercury ceased production. Messages left with Joe Coccia, owner of Coccia Lincoln, and Greg Martin, general manager, were not returned on Wednesday. Santo’s Volvo territory stretches from the New York state line to Columbia County. The next nearest Volvo new car dealerships are in Danville, East Stroudsburg, Allentown and Vestal, N.Y.

In 2010, Santo took over the Luzerne County Volvo franchise rights that were held since 1975 by MotorWorld Auto Group in Plains Township and its predecessor, the Ertley dealerships. At the time, MotorWorld president Gerry O’Donnell said the multi-brand dealership was voluntarily shedding the Volvo line. Lincoln is the second auto brand lost by Santo, but the last

sets to better suit the needs of our growing Volvo franchise.” Santo will no longer provide factory authorized warranty service on any Lincoln, Mercury or Ford vehicles, nor will we sell any new Lincoln vehicles. However, Santo will continue to perform non-warranty work at its Birney Avenue location. Coccia Lincoln in WilkesBarre is the nearest authorized Lincoln dealer.

Then I realized that it would have a negative impact on my career if I didn’t at least maintain a token presence. It wasn’t what I expected. I could keep track of people I hadn’t seen in years, get the news, find great deals and see and hear what was going on at any given time, at a glance. I didn’t have to talk to people, it wasn’t stupid, and it was most definitely useful. We have to accept the fact that we live in a time when we need to remain flexible, interested and engaged in what’s going on if we want to play any role in society.

Much colder air moved into town overnight, and with another cold front passing by high above the ground, there’s going to be some light snow today and maybe some sprinkles of rain and snow in the valley cities. Temperatures today will rise no more than 4 degrees from the morning low and a gusty breeze will sharpen the chill. As the wind backs to the west tonight, skies will clear and Friday is looking very sunny and about as cold as today. Then, over the weekend a southwest wind will direct slightly warmer temperatures our way with more sunshine. - Tom Clark

Sgroi Paye A tireless advocate of social justice, she strove to draw attention to the lack of housing for homeless women and children, which led to the creation of the Catherine McAuley Center in 1984. To-

High-school students in grades 10 through 12 are invited to submit entries that must address issues of social justice, such as the environment, poverty, education, community service, energy and others.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2011 PAGE 5C

Abby’s readers agree: Not every woman is wired to be a mother Dear Abby: It saddened me to read the letter from “Lacks the Mothering Gene” (Sept. 15). Seven months pregnant, she feels nothing for her baby, and her husband is furious with her for feeling as she does. You told her that she should discuss this with her obstetrician, and you were sure that once the baby arrived she would fall in love with her baby. Not always, Abby. There are, in fact, many situations where mothers DO NOT fall in love with their babies. I have led pregnancy and postpartum support groups for 20 years, and I would have advised “Lacks” to

DEAR ABBY ADVICE see someone who is professionally trained in working with women who are psychologically distressed during pregnancy. Sometimes there are multiple, complex reasons why women feel negatively toward their babies, and she needs a place where she can talk about such matters. I admire her, because in spite of her lack of feelings at this time, she’s still determined to be an excellent mother. I have every confidence that with the proper support, she can be. — William S. Meyer, Associate Professor, Duke University

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

Dear Mr. Meyer: Thank you for lending your expertise and sharing your sound advice. Responses to that letter included testimonies from women wanting “Lacks” to know she was not alone. My newspaper readers comment: Dear Abby: My mother found herself pregnant shortly after she and my father were married. She was not happy about it, and it caused a lot of conflict. She made my life unbearable. I think “Lacks” should rethink her options. It took years of therapy for me to realize I was not to blame for my parents’ fights or for everything that was wrong. Mother was a classic narcissist, and her toxic relationship with me didn’t end until after her death.

CRYPTOQUOTE

Some women should not be mothers. If they can’t be, they should place the child for adoption. — R.P. in Carmichael, Calif. Dear Abby: I am a birth doula who assists couples through pregnancies and birth. I don’t find every client with a big belly on a pink cloud. I highly recommend a certified birth doula to help through the hard times. They can be found at www.DONA. org, the website for the international doula organization. — Birth Doula in Oregon Dear Abby: I think what “Lacks” is feeling is common. Yet we are never supposed to talk about it. A woman

who feels less than jubilant about the responsibilities of motherhood is viewed as unwomanly and selfish. I resented motherhood until I began to focus on my children as the amazing people they are. Reluctant moms should get curious about their children, or get involved with a good neighborhood baby group or a parent coach. It helps to have someone to talk to when things get rough. — New Mom in Washington

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 will send a silent blessing on the wind. The person you send it to will be favorably changed by this intention, though he or she will probably never know it came from you — or know about it at all, for that matter. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your imagination has healing power. Here’s a way to bring it out: Instead of dreaming of the future, dream of an alternate past, one in which you got what you needed and felt overjoyed about it. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Put some fun on the day’s agenda. If there’s nothing exciting about your plans for the day, you won’t be inspired to complete even the easiest task on your list. CANCER (June 22-July 22). This is the kind of day you want to paint with bold strokes. Leave the detail work for later or for someone else. If you don’t finish a project quickly, it won’t get done. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). People in business may be guarded when they first meet you. It’s nothing personal. They are mentally qualifying your potential as a customer. Once they get past that, they’ll be charmed by you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll wake up with a fair idea of how things are likely to progress, and that idea will be wrong. You love a good surprise now and then. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ve been putting so much of you into your work that it may feel like you don’t know who you are outside of that context. That’s why it’s so important for you to relax and just be yourself tonight.

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

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re so creative now that you’ll be turned off by any environment that seems restrictive or limiting. Your intellect will benefit from the places and people who draw you out mentally. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You accept responsibility, but not pressure. The one who is pushy will get on your nerves if you let her. Draw firm boundaries, and defend them in a courteous way. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your sign is noted for having unusual longevity, be it in love, work or simply existence. This is partly because you are magnetized toward making healthy, sustainable choices like the ones you make today. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Change isn’t always easy, but sometimes it is. And today, you’ll absolutely thrive on it, making adjustments with grace. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll be an advocate for someone who does not speak the language you are so fluent in. This could be an actual language or a style of communication that is common to a particular group of people to which you belong. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 17). The circumstances you encounter over the next seven weeks will boost your emotional life, and you’ll benefit from increased energy. Celebratory events decorate 2012, and the best of these will be impromptu happenings. You’ll heed financial wisdom and enjoy greater ease through December. Pisces and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 4, 14, 38 and 18.
