One of the founders of a now-defunct local chapter of The Second Mile charity said he hopes the Jerry Sandusky scandal does not result in elimination of the programs the organization established that have helped thousands of youths. Dennis Kormonick, who volunteered with the Hazleton chapter of The Second Mile until it disbanded in 2002, said he worked closely with Sandusky and was “sickened” when he learned of the charges of child sexual abuse lodged against him. The situation is made even more devastating, Kormonick said, by the prospect that the many worthwhile programs the charity See CHARITY, Page 14A

The gap between Luzerne County’s 2012 projected spending and revenue has been reduced to $9.7 million, and officials say they’re now scrambling to identify more income. That leaves cuts, including staff reductions, as the primary option to balance the budget because commissioners Maryanne Petrilla and Stephen A. Urban won’t raise property taxes.

WASHINGTON — Unable to break the partisan stalemate over taxes and Medicare, the deficit-reduction supercommittee came to a quiet end as the co-chairs issued a statement saying no deal could be reached by the panel’s deadline. “Wehavecometotheconclusion today that it will not be possible to make any bipartisan agreement available to the public before the

committee’s deadline,” said the statement from Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., and Rep. Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas. The result had been expected. It became clear in recent days that final rounds of talks would not be able to break the impasse in the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction. Leaders apparently calculated that the risk of failure was not as damaging as agreeing to a deficit reduction plan that would require serious compromise heading toward the 2012 election. Now voters will decidethetaxandspendingdebate next year. Already, lawmakers outside of

the panel were discussing ways to pick up where the supercommittee left off, with a bipartisan “gang of six” senators considering plans to continue their work on a sweeping deficit-reduction plan and others saying Congress should vote on various proposals that have been forwarded by independent fiscal commissions. The committee had faced a Wednesday deadline to vote on a proposal to slash the nation’s deficits by $1.5 trillion over the decade. The panel, which was brought into existence as a result of the summer debt-ceiling fight, spent three See PANEL, Page 14A

Guns N’ Roses arena show late, but great With a deafening display of pyrotechnics after a long wait, the band wowed crowd. R E V I E W By BRAD PATTON bpatton@timesleader.com

It took Axl Rose and his seven hired guns a long time to make it to the stage Sunday night. As in just getting started when most concerts are ending. As in more than an hour and a half after the opening act left the stage. The tickets for the Guns N’ Roses performance at the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza showed a 7:30 p.m. start time. For the typical arena show, that means the opening act – in this case, former Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach – hits the stage about 7:30 and the headliners take over about 9. On Sunday, Bach never ap-

peared until 8:30, played for just more than an hour and finished up at 9:35. Because most of the massive stage already was set up for the GNR occupation to come, the sizable but not overstuffed crowd hoped for a 10 p.m. start by Axl and the gang. And the crowd tried to will something to happen throughout the night. At first, it would cheer wildly whenever there was a break in the recorded music pumped through the arena. When that didn’t work, it began booing as the minutes slowly ticked away. When the lights finally went off at 11:15, the theme from “Dexter” played as images and GNR logos danced across the nine video screens. With a deafening display of pyrotechnics that would give the Trans-Siberian Orchestra a run for its money, the band appeared and the audience went wild. Was it worth the wait? An emphatic yes.

From the moment Rose took the stage with his reconstituted GNR consisting of three guitarists, two keyboard players, a bassist and a drummer, the crowd quickly forgot the long wait. By the second song – a blistering “Welcome to the Jungle” from 1987’s “Appetite for Destruction” debut – all was forgiven. The early part of the show was split almost evenly with songs from the debut album and from 2008’s “Chinese Democracy.” Rose, now 49 and the only remaining original member from the band’s glory days, seems to be having a good time these days and seems to still have most of his voice – though it’s a little hard to know for sure considering his bandmates drowned him out more than a few times Sunday night. That was fine for songs such as “It’s So Easy” and “Mr. Brownstone.” (Everyone knows those by heart anyway.) But it made it a

LOCAL Artisans’ work fit for a president Locally made window to be displayed dential seal, as it will be dedicated to Carter at one of his favorite places in his in President Carter’s hometown. By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

LUZERNE – The craftsmanship of local glass artisans will soon be on display in the hometown of former President Jimmy Carter. Larry and Diane Cook of Cook & Cook Auctions and Ben Kasmark and Malcolm Kosek of Kasmark & Marshall Stained and Leaded Glass Co. will deliver a custom window this weekend to Plains, Ga. The 3-by-6-foot stained-glass window will be installed above the front entrance of the Plains Historic Inn on Main Street. At the center of the window is the presi-

hometown of fewer than 700 residents. The Cooks, friends of Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter, raised the necessary funds – about $7,100 – to pay for the design, materials and workmanship of Kasmark and Kosek. The window was completed at a considerably discounted price, Kosek said. The four will set out for Georgia on Friday, arriving in Plains on Saturday morning. Kosek and Kasmark will install the window that will be unveiled during a dedication ceremony at 5 p.m. with the former president and first lady in attendance. “They have already seen a model of the window,” Larry Cook said. “Both President and Mrs. Carter loved it; it was

to design and build the window. He said the wood frame and paint were chosen to match the building. “We wanted it to look like it was always there,” Kasmark said. “We didn’t want it to look like it was just installed.” The Cooks said the Carters, the U.S. Park Service and the Plains (Ga.)

U.S. Rep. Tom Marino speaks during a roundtable discussion with business leaders at Penn State Wilkes-Barre on Monday.

Marino touts balanced budget Area congressman talks with business leaders about the need to reduce the deficit.

By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

LEHMAN TWP. – U.S. Rep. Tom Marino Monday said it is time to “bring common sense to Washington” by approving a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution. “Is anyone here opposed to that?” Marino asked about 30 business leaders from Northeastern Pennsylvania. “You have to elect people who are willing to do what has to be done without worrying about being re-elected.” Marino, 59, spoke at Penn State University Wilkes-Barre’s Fortinsky Auditorium. The freshman congressman for the 10th Congressional District said “everything is on the table” when talking about reducing the country’s ever-increasing debt – downsizing government, drastically cutting spending, tax-

es, fewer regulations. He said at the bottom of the cut list should be the defense budget, senior citizens, law enforcement and veterans benefits. Marino, R-Lycoming Township, said he and the other 86 freshmen members of Congress have gained influence with party leaders. He said they will continue to vote together and not follow party leadership dictates. “But Speaker (John) Boehner has not been twisting any arms,” Marino said. On Friday, Marino said House Democrats missed an opportunity when they blocked the first step toward a balanced budget amendment. Marino voted in favor of the measure that would have allowed Congress to spend only the money it takes in each year. The House voted 261-165 in favor of the amendment, short of the necessary two-thirds majority. Marino said the resolution is “long overdue.” “Americans practice common sense in their homes and in their businesses and it is time we practice common sense in Washington,” he said. “You cannot spend more than you take in.”

Bipartisanship is not being practiced in Congress, Marino said. He said Democrats vote against Republicans only for political purposes. “They don’t want a voting record,” Marino said. “At least not before the (2012) election.” The constitutional amendment is needed, he said, because Congress has shown that it rarely passes a balanced budget. “Congress can always pass a balanced budget and we have passed laws calling for one,” Marino said. “But Congress has only passed a balanced budget a few times in the last five decades. When it is inconvenient, they have waived it. If we have a constitutional amendment, we have to follow it because it will be the letter of the law.” Marino said the battle may result in a government shutdown – a move that was averted in August. “We just have to change the way we do business,” he said. “We can get this done. I wouldn’t plan on running again if I didn’t think we could do this.”

Recount granted in W-B Twp. election Councilwoman Yuknavich sought recanvass after eight-vote loss Nov. 8. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A Wilkes-Barre Township councilwoman who lost her bid for re-election by eight votes in the general election will get a recount of votes, a Luzerne County judge said Monday. Judge William Amesbury granted a recanvassing of votes and absentee ballots after Mary Yuknavich, a longtime councilwoman, filed a petition in Luzerne County requesting the Bureau of Elections to do so.

Bureau of Elections Director Len Piazza said Monday it will be the first time Yuknavich the county has recounted a municipal race since the electronic voting machines were put in place in 2006. In the Nov. 8 election, Yuknavich’s opponent, Michael P. Wildes, won by eight votes. In the petition filed late last week in Luzerne County court, Yuknavich says through her attorney, Bruce Phillips, that she and fellow petitioners Dorothy Kashula and Michael Sromovski, both

of Wilkes-Barre Township, were present during a tabulation of the votes for council, including 100 absentee ballots. After a calculation, court papers say, it was determined there was a tie between Yuknavich and Wildes. “(A)…significant error has been committed in the tabulation of votes for the election of Wilkes-Barre Township council and (the petitioners) are seeking a recanvassing of the voting machines and absentee ballots…” Phillips and Bureau of Elections solicitor Neil O’Donnell came to an agreement Monday that the recanvassing would take place today at 11 a.m. before a board

of elections meeting at 3:30 p.m. Yuknavich paid $250 Monday to have the recanvassing done. Piazza said if the election numbers do not change as a result of the recanvassing, the board will not meet. According to certified election results, Yuknavich, a Republican, garnered 489 votes. Wildes, a Democrat, obtained 497 votes, and won a seat along with Katie Krutski Arnone, a Republican, with 569 votes, and John J. Jablowski Jr., a Republican, with 499 votes. Renee M. Faust, a Democrat, lost with 446 votes, as well as Kevin Flaherty, also a Democrat, with 362 votes.

More Northeastern Pennsylvania residents are expected to hit the road this week than last Thanksgiving, despite higher costs. The American Automobile Association predicts more than 45,000 travelers from Wilkes-Barre area, or 11.7 percent of area residents, will travel more than 50 miles from home during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. The Wilkes-Barre figures, which include “We’re residents from parts of Luzerne, Columbia seeing a and Montour counties, lot of are slightly below the national average. But pent-up they are up from last demand.” Thanksgiving and repJenny Robinson resent the first holiday AAA Mid-Atlantic weekend of 2011 in spokeswoman which more area residents traveled than did in 2010. “We’re seeing a lot of pent-up demand,” AAA Mid-Atlantic spokeswoman Jenny Robinson said. “People have put off their travel the last few years and now they want to get out and visit their families this Thanksgiving.” Nationally, AAA estimates 42.5 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more from home during the holiday weekend, about a 4 percent increase from the 40.9 million people who traveled one year ago. Memorial Day travel was roughly the same as in 2010, while Independence Day and Labor Day saw decreased travel volume. Though a gallon of gasoline will cost on average 40 cents more this Thanksgiving than last, Robinson said a decline in gas prices since summer is probably a major factor in the return to travel, given that 90 percent of Americans and 89 percent of Wilkes-Barre area residents will travel by car this weekend. The average price of gas in WilkesBarre on Monday was $3.39 per gallon, up from $2.99 last Thanksgiving but lower than last summer, when fuel prices peaked just shy of $4 per gallon. Airfare prices are also up about 20 percent over last year. AAA has been cautious in interpreting its travel predictions as an economic indicator, characterizing the gain as a preliminary step in a slow climb back to prerecession sales. Robinson said travel hit a decade low in 2008, and still hasn’t fully recovered. Thanksgiving travel can cost less than travel during other holidays because the holiday is focused on spending time at home with family rather than sightseeing. John Mellon, professor of business and marketing at Misericordia University, said the return of travelers to the road is a positive sign that the economy is recovering, or has at least leveled out. Mellon said the rapid decline in housSee TRAVEL, Page 14A

The $1,355,588 budget is available for review by the public and will be approved at the December meeting. The board of supervisors approved two resolutions by Vice Chairman Ray Iwanowski related to gaming grants. One would allow the township to join the Back Mountain Community Partnership in applying for a grant to build a centrally located building to house emergency supplies. The grant would also include a request for additional emergency supplies. The supervisors also approved another resolution to apply for a gaming grant in conjunction with Dallas Borough that would provide a new street sweeper, a new brush cutter and a Bobcat with a milling head for road repair. The equipment would be used jointly by the two municipalities. The board also appointed Borton-Lawson Engineering as alternate engineers to the township. Resident Tom Jiunta asked what could be done about increased truck traffic on Old Highway 115.

BETHLEHEM — A second case of bacterial meningitis has been reported on the campus of Lehigh University. School officials said they’ve handed out more than 4,000 doses of antibiotics. A female student was hospitalized last week after attending a fraternity party. A male freshman was also hospitalized and receiving treatment on Sunday. Bacterial meningitis is a potentially fatal infection of the central nervous system. Meningitis is typically spread by saliva or close, prolonged exposure with an infected person. Symptoms include fever, severe headache, lethargy, stiff neck, nausea, vomiting and rash

U.S., Britain, Canada will sanction Iran

B R I E F

Action comes as nations seek to halt suspected nuke weapons effort.

By BRADLEY KLAPPER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration will hit the Iranian economy with new sanctions Monday, U.S. officials said, teaming with Britain and Canada in an effort to pressure Tehran to halt its suspected nuclear weapons program. The British announced the first measures, declaring they would cut off all financial ties with Iranian banks to stem the flow of funds for its

nuclear and ballistic missile programs. The coordinated actions among the United States and its two close allies represent the first direct response to the U.N. nuclear agency’s recent report suggesting Iranian work toward the development of atomic weapons. The report’s release has sparked frenzied international diplomacy over how to halt the Iranian threat, with President Barack Obama pressing the leaders of Russia and China little more than a week ago to join the United States and its partners in taking action. America’s financial and energy sanc-

tions will target Iranian companies, the hardline Revolutionary Guard force and Iran’s petrochemicals sector, U.S. officials said. The aim would be to build on several American measures already in place to isolate Iran’s economy. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity ahead of a formal announcement later Monday, expected to be made by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. Canada is also expected to announce new measures against Iran. Britain’s new restrictions included

an order that its financial institutions cease doing business with all Iranian banks, including the country’s Central Bank. The sanctions are aimed at “preventing the Iranian regime from acquiring nuclear weapons,” British Treasury chief George Osborne said. He said they also were designed to shield Britain’s financial sector from exposure to Iranian money laundering and terrorism financing, without offering specifics. It made no references to Washington’s allegation of an Iranian plot to assassinate Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the United States.

In a news conference that offered the most detail yet about what investigators think happened to Jhessye Shockley, Glendale police said the girl’s mother, Jerice Hunter, was now the investigation’s “No. 1 focus.” Hunter was booked Monday into Maricopa County jail. A sheriff’s spokesman said Hunter was unable to talk to reporters because she had not yet been assigned a housing unit. Glendale police Sgt.

Syrian forces fire on buses

Turkey warned Syria’s president Monday that he cannot continue to oppress his people with tanks and guns forever, even as Syrian soldiers opened fire on at least two buses carrying Turkish citizens, witnesses and officials said. In separate attacks, Syrian security forces killed at least 13 people during raids in central Syria Sunday, activists said. The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and the Local Coordination Committees said most of the deaths were in the flashpoint city of Homs, a hotbed of dissent against Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime. The attacks on the buses, which wounded two people, appeared to be retaliation for Turkey’s criticism of Assad, whose military crackdown on an 8-month-old uprising against his rule has killed nearly 4,000 people.

Teen pleads in shooting A Southern California teenager has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the killing of a gay classmate in a deal that will send him to prison for 21 years.

McInerney was 14 at the time. The case had been expected to go to retrial after a September mistrial when jurors couldn’t reach a unanimous decision on the degree of guilt. Prosecutors contended that McInerney embraced a white supremacist philosophy that sees homosexuality as an abomination. Defense attorneys claimed he reached an emotional breaking point after King made repeated, unwanted sexual advances.

CAIRO (AP) — Egypt’s army-appointed government handed in its resignation Monday, trying to stem a spiraling crisis as thousands of protesters in Cairo’s Tahrir Square clashed for the third straight day with security forces in violence that has killedatleast24peopleandposedthemost sustained challenge yet to the rule of the military. The crowds in Tahrir, which had grown towellover10,000afternightfall,brokeout into cheers with the news of the Cabinet’s move, chanting “God is great.” But there was no sign the concession would break their determination to protest until the military steps down completely and hands over power to a civilian government.

to Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, the head of the council of generals that has ruled the country since the Feb.11fall of authoritarian President Hosni Mubarak. The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, which Tantawi heads, did not immediately announce whether it would accept the mass resignation. Many Egyptians had seen the government, headed by Prime Minister Essam Sharaf, as a mere facade for them military and either unable or unwilling to press ahead with democratic reform or take action to stem increasing turmoil and economic crisis around the country. The anger, however, has ultimately been focused on the generals themselves, who many activists accuse of acting as abusively as Mubarak’s regime and of intending to maintain their grip on power. The turmoil comes only a week before Egypt is to start key parliamentary elec-

Instead, they have been overshadowed by the standoff over the military. Activists believe that no matter who wins the vote, the generals will dominate the next government as much as they did Sharaf’s. The military says it will hand over power only after presidential elections, which it has vaguely said will be held in late 2012 or early 2013. If Monday’s resignations are carried out, a crucial question will be who will replace the Cabinet. Some in the square demand the military immediately hand over all its authority to a national unity government made up of multiple factions. Throughout the day on Monday, blackgarbed security forces fired tear gas, rubber bullets and — many protesters said — live ammunition at young men in the streets around Tahrir. The protesters hurled stones and threw back the gas canisters that clattered across the pavement, streaming stinging clouds.

Opponents of drilling in Delaware watershed rally By GEOFF MULVIHILL Associated Press

TRENTON, N.J. — Hundreds of environmental activists gathered in Trenton on Monday for a rally that became a celebration of a delay in natural gas drilling in the Delaware River watershed. But the drilling opponents, including actors Debra Winger and Mark Ruffalo, cautioned that their battle isn’t over yet after the Delaware River Basin Commission decided last week to delay a vote on rules for drilling, leaving a moratorium in place. “We have more time for building more evidence and more allies,” Maya Van Rossum, head of the advocacy group Delaware Riverkeeper Network, told the crowd. The commission, which

monitors water quality in an area that includes parts of four states and provides drinking water for more than 15 million people, had been scheduled to vote Monday on rules on natural gas drilling in the region. Opponents and supporters of drilling were preparing to descend on Trenton for the vote. The commission, which has board members representing the governors of Delaware, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania and the Obama Administration, abruptly postponed the vote last week after Delaware Gov. Jack Markell said he would vote against the rules, making the outcome uncertain. The commission has not said when a new vote could be

NEW YORK — The mother of a “lone wolf” accused of plotting to attack police stations and post offices with homemade bombs apologized to New Yorkers on Monday, even as questions arose about why federal authorities — who typically handle terrorism cases — declined to get involved in what city officials called a serious threat. The mother of Jose Pimentel spoke to reporters outside her upper ManPimentel hattan home the day after her son was arraigned in state court on terrorism-related charges. “I didn’t raise my son in that way,” Carmen Sosa said. “I feel bad about this situation.” She also praised the New York Police Department, saying, “I think they handled it well.” Officials with the NYPD, which conducted the undercover investigation using a confidential informant and a bugged apartment, said the department had to move quickly because Pimentel was about to test a pipe bomb made out of match heads, nails and other ingredients bought at neighborhood hardware and discount stores. Two law enforcement officials said Monday that the NYPD’s Intelligence Division had sought to get the FBI involved at least twice as the investigation unfolded. Both times, the FBI concluded that Pimentel lacked the mental capacity to act on his own, they said. The FBI thought Pimentel “didn’t have the predisposition or the ability to do anything on his own,” one of the officials said. The officials were not authorized to speak about the case and spoke on condition of anonymity. The FBI’s New York office and the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan both declined to comment on Monday. Pimentel’s lawyer, Joseph Zablocki, said his client was never a true threat. Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly defended the handling of the case Monday, saying the NYPD kept federal authorities in the loop “all along” before circumstances forced investigators to take swift measures using state charges.

PLAINS TWP. – Citing the budget constraints and costsaving measures adopted by the school districts that make up the Wilkes-Barre Career & Technical Center joint operating committee, a director from one of those districts asked the tech school board to rescind recently approved pay raises. Christine Katsock, a WilkesBarre Area board member who is not part of the tech school committee, asked that the tech board reconsider the $1,450 pay raises recently approved for the school’s Act 93 administrators. Katsock, who is also the secretary to the Luzerne Intermediate Unit board, said both the LIU and Wilkes-Barre Area held the line on administrators’ salaries and asked the tech school board to do the same. The pay raises were approved retroactively for the 2010-11 school year, committee members noted, and administrators did not receive an increase for the current year. The committee did not act on Katsock’s suggestion. However, Jim Fisher, one of WilkesBarre Area’s five representatives on the tech school committee, spoke in support of the administrators.

Fisher cited a $666,942 transfer from the general account to the capital account and a 3 percent rebate the tech school made to its sending districts last year and said both were the result of the diligence of the administrators. Fisher’s comments came at his last meeting as a school director. In a related matter, the committee appointed Peter Halesey as the school’s director and Frank Majikes as assistant to the director/principal. Solicitor Ray Wendolowski said the two motions formalize the titles for the two administrators for positions approved at a previous meeting and neither appointment included a salary increase. Gene Mancini, who represents Crestwood School District, opposed both motions and questioned who would be drafting the job descriptions for the positions. Mancini said he wanted to be part of the drafting process. In other business, the committee: Appointed Julie Roan as CNA instructor at $3,250 per class as the primary instructor. Added Grace Sklanka to the approved substitute list, pending submission of all required paperwork.

Internet has intensified gaffes, making normally risk-averse politicians even more careful

Debating candidates cautious in YouTube era Hopefuls try to avoid kind of televised stumble that could fatally undermine chances. By BETH FOUHY Associated Press

NEW YORK — White House candidates once looked to presidential debates for a chance to shine. Now the hopefuls play it safe as they try to avoid the kind of televised stumble that could fatally undermine their chances. That’s a dreaded YouTube moment — a gaffe or flub that immediately goes viral online. Ask Texas Gov. Rick Perry, whose struggle in one debate to name the third of three federal agencies he would eliminate became the “oops” moment of the 2012 campaign. Or former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, whose campaign collapsed after he ducked the chance to confront rival Mitt Romney in a debate over his push for a health care mandate in Massachusetts. Or Herman Cain, whose “Princess Nancy” comment about former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi came just as he was battling decade-old allegations of sexual harassment. To be sure, debates have produced plenty of cringe-inducing

moments over the years. Michael Dukakis had a nonchalant response to a hypothetical question about his wife being raped and murdered in 1988. Al Gore’s sighs and orange makeup in 2000 drew ridicule. And who could forget Barack Obama dismissing Democratic rival Hillary Rodham Clinton as “likeable enough” in 2008? But the Internet has intensified the impact of such gaffes, making normally risk-averse politicians even more careful — and debates even more scripted. It all raises the question: Do voters ever really get to know the people they end up electing to lead the country? And, in this era of reality TV, are viewers getting less than reality when they tune into debates because of a candidate’s fear of making a campaign-ending misstep? “The viral nature of the postdebate video has had the effect of bludgeoning candidates,” said Barbara O’Connor, emeritus professor of political communications at California State University-Sacramento. “I’m not sure it’s part of the intellectual discourse that debates are meant to encourage. But watching candidates under stress is certainly one indication of how they’ll perform as elected leaders.”

Campaigns are always ripe with potential YouTube calamities — Cain’s confusion over a question about Libya at a newspaper editorial board interview became an instant classic when it went online earlier this month, as did a speech Perry gave in New Hampshire that led to speculation he might have been drunk. But the debates have been particularly risky, given their frequency this year and the huge audiences they have drawn. A CNN forum set for tonight in Washington will be the 11th Republican debate since May, and at least two more are scheduled before the Iowa caucuses Jan. 3. No one has been more cautious in debates than Romney, the field’s nominal front-runner. The former Massachusetts governor has worked to draw little attention to himself, choosing his words carefully when answering questions and often refusing to take the bait if a rival tries to goad him or get under his skin. Romney lost his cool once at a debate in October, after Perry pushed him to explain why he had once used a lawn care service that employed illegal immigrants. Romney said he had confronted the gardening service

Gingrich holds slight lead in GOP By MICHAEL A. MEMOLI Tribune Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON — Another national poll puts Newt Gingrich at the top of the GOP pack in the 2012 presidential race, bolstered by the support of more conservative voters. That being said, the new Gallup survey finds the nomination up for grabs, with no candidate breaking from the pack to establish a clear lead. According to the poll, the former House speaker is the favorite of 22 percent of Republican and Republican-leaning registered voters, just ahead of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney at 21 percent. Herman Cain is still part of the conversation, placing third at16 percent. Texans Ron Paul (9 percent) and Rick Perry (8 percent) round out the top five. Among more conservative voters, Gingrich leads Romney 23 percent to 20 percent, with Cain at 18 percent. Romney leads among moderates and liberals with 20 percent support, followed by Gingrich and Cain at12 percent each. Gallup’s Jeffrey M. Jones wrote that typically by this point, Republicans have “anointed a dominant front-runner” who ends up winning the party’s nomination. But just weeks before the Iowa caucuses, there is no clear favorite.

Greenhouse gases up; Former Smithsonian chief dies Tractor pull halted after warming not slowed By SETH BORENSTEIN AP Science Writer

WASHINGTON — Heattrapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are building up so high, so fast, that some scientists now think the world can no longer limit global warming to the level world leaders have agreed upon as safe. New figures from the U.N. weather agency Monday showed that the three biggest greenhouse gases not only reached record levels last year but were increasing at an everfaster rate, despite efforts by many countries to reduce emissions. As world leaders meet next week in South Africa to tackle the issue of climate change, several scientists said their projections show it is unlikely the world can hold warming to the target set by leaders just two years ago in Copenhagen. “The growth rate is increasing every decade,” said Jim Butler, director of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Global Monitoring Division. “That’s

kind of scary.” Scientists can’t say exactly what levels of greenhouse gases are safe, but some fear a continued rise in global temperatures will lead to irreversible melting of some of the world’s ice sheets and a several-foot rise in sea levels over the centuries — the so-called tipping point. The findings from the U.N. World Meteorological Organization are consistent with other grim reports issued recently. Earlier this month, figures from the U.S. Department of Energy showed that global carbon dioxide emissions in 2010 jumped by the highest one-year amount ever. The WMO found that total carbon dioxide levels in 2010 hit 389 parts per million, up from 280 parts per million in 1750, before the start of the Industrial Revolution. The U.N. agency cited fossil fuel-burning, loss of forests that absorb CO2 and use of fertilizer as the main culprits. Since 1990 — a year that international climate negotiators have set as a benchmark for emissions — the total heattrapping force from all the major greenhouse gases has increased by 29 percent, according to NOAA.

WASHINGTON — I. Michael Heyman, who was the first nonscientist to lead the Smithsonian Institution after serving as chancellor of the University of California, Berkeley, has died. He was 81. Heyman died at his Berkeley home Saturday after a long battle with emphysema. The Smithsonian and the university announced his death Monday. During five years as chief of the world’s largest museum and research complex, Heyman oversaw creation of the Smithsonian’s first website and an affiliations network that now includes 170 museums across the country. He secured funding to build the National Museum of the American Indian and a major donation for a National Air and Space Museum annex in northern Virginia. Heyman arrived at the Smithsonian in 1994 facing controversy over the Air and Space Museum’s planned exhibition of the B-29 Enola Gay that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Some historians and veterans groups complained it was too

sympathetic to the Japanese. Heyman eventually cancelled the planned exhibit and replaced it in 1995 with a simple display without commentary, context or analysis of the turning point of World War II. Current Smithsonian Secretary Wayne Clough said Heyman was a “proud veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps” and had “tackled the tough controversy” over the Enola Gay. “Heyman was unflinchingly optimistic about the Smithsonian’s ability to be a force for knowledge and inspiration in our society,” Clough said in a statement. He said Heyman’s signature program was a celebration of the Smithsonian’s 150th anniversary in 1996 with a major traveling exhibit, “America’s Smithsonian.” He retired from the museum in 2000. A 2007 examination of the Smithsonian’s management and finances found that Heyman built a structure that significantly increased private contributions, though his successor, Lawrence Small, later took credit for record fundraising. Heyman was a lawyer for the U.S. Department of the Interior when he was chosen to lead the Smithsonian as its first non-scientist secretary in its history. He was the institution’s 10th secre-

tary since its founding in 1846, overseeing 16 museums, the National Zoo and a cluster of research centers at the time. Heyman was a graduate of Dartmouth and earned his law degree at Yale. In 1958 and 1959, he was a law clerk to Chief Justice Earl Warren. He went on to serve as chancellor of UC Berkeley from 1980 to 1990 and was a professor emeritus of the Berkeley School of Law.

HARRISBURG — Fire officials had to close down a tractor pull event at the Pennsylvania Farm Show complex after carbon monoxide sickened more than two dozen people. The Patriot-News of Harrisburg reported the Mid-Atlantic Antique Tractor Super Pull was shut down Saturday after firefighters responding to a report of a sick man recorded carbon monoxide levels four times the permissible level. Harrisburg Bureau of Fire Battalion Chief Michael Horst said the antique tractors burning modern fuel produced dangerously high levels of carbon monoxide. He said carbon monoxide sensors carried by firefighters went off as soon as they walked into the building. The Patriot-News report said at least 25 people were sickened by the gas. One person was treated at a hospital and released. The state Agriculture Department is investigating the incident.

LOS ANGELES — “The Twilight Saga” has staked out another huge opening with a $138.1 million first weekend domestically and a worldwide launch of $283.5 million. The domestic total gives “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1” the second-best debut weekend for the franchise, after the $142.8 million launch for 2009’s “The Twilight Saga: New Moon.” “Breaking Dawn” did more than half of its business, $72 million, on opening day Friday, while the movie’s debut weekend was the fifth-best on record. Opening in 54 overseas markets, “Breaking Dawn” pulled in $144 million internationally, according to studio estimates. But the Warner Bros. dancing penguin sequel “Happy Feet 2” stumbled in its debut, pulling in just $22 million over opening weekend. That’s barely half what the first film in the animated franchise earned in its 2006 opening. The comparison is even worse considering the original did not have the sequel’s price advantage for 3-D screenings, which cost a few dollars more than 2-D shows. The previous weekend’s No. 1 movie, Relativity Media’s action tale “Immortals,” fell to thirdplace with $12.3 million, raising its domestic haul to $53 million. George Clooney had a great start with Fox Searchlight’s comic drama “The Descendants,” which broke into the top-10 despite playing in just a handful of theaters. “The Descendants” finished at No. 10 with $1.2 million in 29 theaters, averaging a whopping $42,150 a cinema. That compares to an average of $34,351 in 4,061 theaters for “Breaking Dawn.” Directed by Alexander Payne ("Sideways”), the film stars Clooney as a distressed dad tending to his daughters after his wife falls into a coma from a head injury. The film expands to about 400 theaters Wednesday. In an industry whose main audience is young males, “Twilight” is a rare blockbuster franchise driven by female viewers. Distributor Summit Entertainment reported that women and girls made up 80 percent of the audience for “Breaking Dawn.” The popularity of “Twilight” has left many men scratching their heads, even those involved in releasing the movies. “I’m 53 years old, and I haven’t figured it out yet,” said Richie

Fay, head of distribution for Summit. “It relates really to young girls and things that are important to them, their romantic ideas of love and relationships, without getting so physical, at least on screen, that it becomes a worry for their parents.” “Breaking Dawn” has brooding teen Bella (Kristen Stewart) marrying vampire lover Edward (Robert Pattinson), whose family strikes an uneasy alliance with jealous werewolf Jacob (Taylor

Lautner) to protect the bride and the baby she’s carrying. The movie’s big start points to even better business for next year’s “Breaking Dawn — Part 2,” the finale in the five-film series based on Stephenie Meyer’s bestselling novels. “Breaking Dawn” was a windfall for Hollywood in general, whose domestic revenues continue to trail 2010’s despite rosy projections last spring of a record box-office year.

HARRISBURG — A Republican-sponsored proposal to change how Pennsylvania’s electoral votes are counted in next year’s presidential election appears to be running out of steam. GOP Gov. Tom Corbett, a key supporter of the idea, suggested Monday that it’s going nowhere for the time being. “I see no movement on it. I’m not going to push for movement, but I still support it,” Corbett told a Pennsylvania Press Club luncheon in Harrisburg. The proposal first surfaced in September with Corbett marketing it as a way to more fairly divide electoral votes to reflect the preferences of Pennsylvania’s voters. But it split Republicans and drew heavy criticism from Democrats, who called it a partisan attempt to hurt President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign and to minimize the influence of the state’s large number of registered Democrats. It would ditch the current system of awarding Pennsylvania’s 20 electoral votes to the winner of the state’s popular vote in the 2012 presidential election. Rather, candidates would win an elec-

toral delegate for each of 18 congressional districts they carry, and the winner of the statewide vote would gain two additional electoral votes. The bill, if it becomes law, would guarantee that a Republican wins an electoral vote in Pennsylvania for the first time in 24 years. Depending on how the congressional districts are drawn — and Republicans are in control of that process — a Republican presidential candidate could even collect a majority of the state’s electoral votes despite losing the statewide popular vote. However, the bill would be a gamble by Republicans that the party’s presidential candidate won’t win the state’s popular vote. Democrats have won every election since 1988. The bill is in the Senate State Government Committee but isn’t scheduled for a vote. Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi, the bill’s sponsor, responded to Corbett by saying that advancing the bill would require a considerable effort by the

Senate, House and governor. “At this time, my primary focus is completing our work on legislation regarding education reforms, the Marcellus Shale industry and transportation funding,” wrote Pileggi, R-Delaware. “When those items are finished, we can revisit the electoral college reform legislation, although I do not believe there will be sufficient time to advance it this year.” The plan hasn’t been introduced in the House, and a spokesman for House Majority Leader Mike Turzai, R-Allegheny, would only say Monday that the chamber’s GOP majority would consider the bill when the Senate passes it. At a hearing in October, two prominent political scientists said the proposal was sure to reduce voter turnout, destroy Pennsylvania’s status as a battleground that draws the attention of presidential candidates and weaken an already flawed electoral voting system by relying on a gerrymandered map of congressional districts.

OTHER OPINION: DOVER MORTUARY

Don’t dishonor nation’s war dead

HREE MORTUARY workers at Dover Air Force Base deserve commendations for what they did to honor and respect the nation’s war dead. They told investigators about the disgraceful treatment and handling of soldiers’ remains at the largest military mortuary in the country. The shocking practices resulted in disciplinary actions against three senior base officials. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has ordered a review to decide whether additional punishment is warranted. The case certainly demanded more than slaps on the wrist. Not only were human remains grossly and callously mismanaged, but on at least two occasions solEDITORIAL BOARD

diers’ body parts shipped from Afghanistan were lost. The mortuary also disposed of some cremated remains in a Virginia landfill, according to the Washington Post. In one of the most atrocious incidents mortuary workers were ordered by a supervisor to saw off the arm of a Marine so his body would fit in a casket. The incidents bear a striking resemblance to problems at Arlington National Cemetery, where mismarked and unmarked graves were found, as well as urns dumped into trash. America’s war dead deserve much better. They paid the ultimate sacrifice through their service to this country. The Philadelphia Inquirer

LETTERS FROM READERS

Writer has a tough time getting LCCC trustee info

n Oct. 6, The Times Leader ran an article by Geri Gibbons entitled “LCCC addresses probation after middle states evaluation.” I submitted a comment to The Times Leader online asking for more information about the Board of Trustees. The LCCC website features a page on which photographs and names of the trustees are available. Anyone who reads the newspaper and is a long-time resident will most likely be familiar with at least some members of the board. However, no clickable links to the vita or date of appointment, and length of term, exists on the college website. Starting on Oct. 6, I read one PDF of County Commissioners’ minutes after the next, trying to find the date of appointment of a particular trustee. If not for search engines such as Google or Yahoo, I would have had to read all the way back to the minutes of the Aug. 18, 2004, commissioners’ meeting (Todd Vonderheid, Greg Skrepenak, Stephen Urban) to find the reappointment of one trustee and the appointment of three, including the current Board President, Joseph Rymar. Since this particular appointment was a reappointment, the original appointment was made before Vonderheid and Skrepenak took office. I called the courthouse and asked Mr. Urban’s assistant about LCCC Board appointments, and was directed to the college’s right-to-know officer, a woman with a family name very familiar to anyone who lives in Wyoming Valley. Mr. Urban’s assistant steered me in the right direction, but unless all commissioners’ meeting minutes are made searchable online, it is impossible to ascertain from those records when a board appointment was made. Vita? None is ever given in Commissioners’ meeting minutes, so a search for board members’ qualifications is completely up to any county resident interested in learning who’s minding the county education store. LCCC should make trustees’ dates of appointment and cursory information about each board member available on its site. Learning about them should not require extensive Internet searches. The particular individual whose appointment was of interest to me can’t really be found online. Nearly every other trustee’s vita and social prominence can be rooted out, but this one? He apparently has made a life out of being a professional board member. Hilary Palencar Nanticoke

Knowledge of epilepsy could help save a life

early 3 million Americans have epilepsy, yet the public is largely unaware of how prevalent it is and how serious of a condition it is without proper treatment and first-aid knowledge. November is National Epilepsy Awareness Month and I am working with the Epilepsy Foundation Eastern PA to raise awareness of this condition. Epilepsy is common: There are 109,000 people with epilepsy in Eastern Pennsylvania. Many people cannot properly recognize or do not know what to do when someone has a seizure. Most people do not realize a seizure is not always convulsive; there are many types of seizures. If you see someone having a convulsive seizure, you should turn them on their side and cushion their head. Do not put anything in their mouth. Be sure to time the seizure and call 911 if the seizure lasts longer than five minutes. Epilepsy is not contagious, and seizures are not dangerous to anyone witnessing one. To learn more about different types of seizures and firstaid treatment, visit www.efepa.org/livingwith-epilepsy. As someone affected by epilepsy, I strongly encourage everyone to get educated by visiting www.efepa.org. The life of our son Tony, or that of someone you know, may depend on it.

Don’t use PSU scandal to show intolerance

o me, Mr. Curt Piazza’s letter of Nov. 19 clearly speaks to his own homophobia, which he seems to be projecting onto the diversity program at Penn State. How can he, or any of us for that matter, cast judgment on an entire segment of our population who were born homosexual

DOONESBURY

because of the actions of one coach at Penn State, or the actions of individuals who have an unhealthy connection with their own sexuality? If Mr. Piazza chooses to fix his argument on a Scripture passage from Leviticus (written by men, not God!), I would invite him to unlock his mind and come a few pages forward to Jesus’ message of love and acceptance. Jesus didn’t tell us to “pick and choose,” discarding some and only accepting certain people (like Mr. Piazza.) No one is exempted from the love of God. How can Absolute Love exclude anyone or anything that is a part of Itself? As a heterosexual woman and minister in our community, I support and celebrate our homosexual brothers and sisters. They continue to be contributing partners in business, education, medicine, the arts and music, the medical field, and so much more. They are also loving and caring partners in personal relationships who deserve to be acknowledged with an opportunity to live their lives openly and have their loving relationships legalized -showing them the same respect they show to the rest of us! Rev. Ann Marie Acacio Swoyersville

Humans must embrace culture that respects life

umanity is indeed at a crossroad. It must either choose to preserve human life or face a quite uncertain, unrecognizable and bleak future. The Bible states that God abhors the shedding of all innocent blood. Yet, since the legalization of abortion in 1973, it is reported that more than 50 million abortions have occurred in our country alone. Who can be more innocent than a helpless child within the womb? God grieves. Progressively, we have become desensitized toward the plight of the unborn. Many in the media play a major role in this desensitization. The agenda of many is clear: a war and genocide against the helpless and innocent unborn. While I may not be able to change laws alone, as a matter of conscience, I appeal to your heart to choose life, as your mother did. I appeal to you to teach others not that abortion is so much a right, but something quite destructive to both mother and child. I implore you to embrace a culture that nurtures a respect for life from conception to natural death. Without these things, there is no future for humanity. Nicholas Butrie Landsford

POWERBALL

BUDGET

Continued from Page 1A

Claims may be filed between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. Pennsylvania has sold 14 jackpot-winning tickets since joining Powerball, including Saturday’s. The most recent jackpot ticket sold in Pennsylvania was for the Feb. 28, 2009, drawing, when a $46.6 million cash prize was awarded to a Montgomery County woman. The Turkey Hill in Exeter has been a Pennsylvania Lottery retailer since 1998 and will receive a $100,000 bonus for selling Saturday’s winning ticket. The other multimillion-dollar jackpot-winning ticket sold in Luzerne County this year was purchased at Anthracite Newstand in Wilkes-Barre by Benjamin Michael Draman, of Wilkes-Barre, who won $4.2 million in the Oct. 24 Match 6 lottery drawing. Eight other winning lottery tickets with payouts of $200,000 or more have been purchased this year at stores in Luzerne County. Not including Saturday’s jackpot, those winning tickets total more than $7.7 million. Clerks in some Luzerne County convenience stores said on Monday night they haven’t no-

one. Councilman-elect Rick Morelli, one of the home rule charter drafters, said the new council likely will be forced to choose between a tax increase and implementing inherited layoffs. The new home rule county manager will assess staffing levels and recommend future budgets to council, but this person may not be hired or well-versed enough to make recommendations within the 45-day budget amendment period, he said. “It’s a very unique situation that we’re going to be in,” Morelli said. “Staff cuts and layoffs are the only way they can balance this budget without any tax increase, and the question now is where they will cut.” Commissioners have agreed to hold a meeting with the 11 newly elected council members to discuss the budget and staffing, though that meeting won’t be held until the proposed budget is unveiled in early December. Morelli said he wants to have a frank discussion with commissioners about their confidence in the county’s ability to function with less staff. The county currently employs about 1,700. Petrilla said staff cuts won’t stop the county from providing essential services, though it may take longer for workers to complete tasks that do not have government-mandated deadlines.

PSU picks ex-FBI chief for probe

U.S. Senate has scheduled the first congressional hearing on abuse scandal. By PATRICK WALTERS Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Former FBI director Louis Freeh, tapped to lead Penn State’s investigation into the child sex-abuse allegations against a former assistant football coach, said his inquiry will go as far back as 1975, a much longer period than a grand jury report issued earlier this month. Freeh was named Monday to oversee the university board of trustees’ internal investigation into the abuse allegations that ultimately led to the ouster of longtime football coach Joe Paterno and university President Graham Spanier. Meanwhile in Washington, the Senate has scheduled the first congressional hearing in the wake of the Penn State scandal. Three senators announced Monday that a Dec. 13 hearing will examine how well the nation is protecting children from abuse and neglect. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Scranton, requested the hearing by a panel of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. Maryland Sen. Barbara Mikulski says she hopes it will shed light on prevention and deterrence of child sexual abuse. Freeh said his goal was to conduct a comprehensive, fair and quick review. His team of former FBI agents, federal prosecutors and others has already begun the process of reading the grand jury

abused eight boys over a 15-year period. David Woodle, president of The Second Mile, on Friday told The Patriot News newspaper in Harrisburg that the charity hoped to remain open, but was considering closing and transferring its program to another charity. Kormonick, 61, of Sugarloaf, helped run the Hazleton affiliate of The Second Mile from 1994 to 2002, when the local board decided to disband the chapter based on a disagreement with the charity’s main branch, located in State College, regarding the use of fundraising money. Kormonick said the main branch wanted to earmark $6.5 million to purchase land in State College that would house a residential home for disadvantaged youths who came from troubled homes. Kormonick said he and other Hazleton chapter mem-

report and looking at records. “We will immediately report any evidence of criminality to law enforcement authorities,” said Freeh, who has no connection to Penn State. Penn State has faced criticism since announcing that its internal investigation would be led by two university trustees, Merck pharmaceutical company CEO Kenneth Frazier and state Education Secretary Ronald Tomalis. Faculty members on Friday called for an independent investigation of how the university handled abuse allegations, and the faculty senate endorsed a resolution asking for an independent investigation. In announcing Freeh’s appointment, Frazier stressed the former FBI director’s independence. Freeh will be empowered to investigate employees up to and including the board of trustees itself, Frazier said. “No one is above scrutiny,” Frazier said. Freeh said he had been assured there would be “no favoritism.” He called that assurance “the main condition of my engagement.” Former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky is accused of molesting eight boys over a 15year period beginning in the mid-1990s. Authorities say some assaults happened on campus and were reported to administrators but not to police. Authorities say Sandusky, who retired from Penn State in 1999, met the children through The Second Mile, a youth charity that he started in 1977. By going back as far as 1975, Freeh’s investigation would cover the entire time

The Second Mile has existed and 24 of the 30 years that Sandusky worked at Penn State. Amid the scandal, Penn State’s trustees ousted Spanier and Paterno. The trustees said Spanier and Paterno failed to act after a graduate assistant claimed he saw Sandusky sexually abusing a young boy in a campus shower in 2002. Paterno, who has the most wins of any major college football coach, has conceded he should have done more. Spanier has said he would have reported a crime if he had suspected one had been committed. Sandusky has said he is innocent. Former school administrators Tim Curley and Gary Schultz are charged with not properly alerting authorities to suspected abuse and with perjury. They maintain their innocence.

Gov. Tom Corbett called Freeh’s selection “a good one,” noting his familiarity with grand juries and the role of prosecutors. Freeh will report to a special committee composed of six university trustees. Officials also announced that anyone who has information related to the probe can contact investigators at a telephone hotline — 855-290-3382 — and a special email, PSUhelp(at)freehgroup.com. Meanwhile, Penn State police have referred a report of an indecent assault at an outdoor swimming pool building to the attorney general’s office. A police log noted the report referred to an incident that occurred sometime between June 1, 2000, and Aug. 30, 2000. The report was made to campus police Wednesday and was noted on Thursday’s police log. When asked if the report was related to allegations against Sandusky, Penn State Police Chief Tyrone Parham said Monday: “We can never describe anything related to a victim or suspect.” State open records laws do not require Penn State to release the full police report. A state lawmaker who represents the State College area said he was sponsoring a bill that would reverse the exemption — which currently applies to Penn State and three other universities that rely heavily on state funding but are independently run. Rep. Kerry Benninghoff said a “more open climate” might prevent future scandals.

bers wanted to use money raised to meet more immediate needs. Among the programs the Hazleton chapter sponsored was an annual scholarship fund for area high school students and a coat drive to benefit needy children, he said. Kormonick, who coached the Tamaqua girls high school basketball team to a state championship in 1978, has been involved with youth sports most of his life. A standout baseball and basketball player in high school, he was inducted into the Northeastern Regional Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame in 1998. He said he and other volunteers with The Second Mile were deeply committed to helping disadvantaged youths. He was “devastated” to learn Sandusky, who founded the charity, is accused of using it to exploit boys for his sexual pleasure. “It’s probably been the worst two weeks of my life,” he said. “It’s a sickening thing. The very thing Sandusky is accused of doing, we raised money to prevent.”

Kormonick said he met Sandusky “hundreds of times” and never got any indication that something was amiss. “We worked very closely with everyone there. I never once saw anything inappropriate. I only saw kids who were happy and enjoying themselves,” he said. “Across the board, the people who were there, we were duped if these charges are what (authorities) say they are.” He said he is certain that group who was “duped” includes his close personal friend, former Penn State football coach Joe Paterno. Paterno was fired by the university on Nov. 9 after he was criticized for his response to a report of a graduate assistant, who told Paterno he witnessed Sandusky sexually abusing a young boy. Paterno told university officials of the report, but did not contact police. Paterno was a speaker at a 1994 fundraising dinner and book auction that was held by the Hazleton chapter of The Second Mile. He spoke glowingly of

Sandusky at the event, calling him “an inspiration to all of us.” “There are few people in my life I’ve met who’ve made a bigger commitment to helping people than Jerry Sandusky,” Paterno said, according to a story that appeared in the June 19, 1994, edition of The Times Leader. “I’m not anywhere near the kind of guy Jerry is. It’s unbelievable, the work he does with young people.” Kormonick said his thoughts and prayers are with the youths who were allegedly abused by Sandusky. But he also feels deeply for Paterno, whose long legacy of charity and good deeds at Penn State has been overshadowed by the scandal. Paterno won’t be remembered for what he did, but for “what he was supposed to do, as deemed by others,” Kormonick said. “I feel strongly that when all this is done and over, the coach will be exonerated,” Kormonick said. “I know him as an individual who would not tolerate it if anything was not done the way it was supposed to be done.”

But Republicans and Democrats were unable to compromise on the tax and spending issues that have divided Congress all year, punting the debate to next year’s presidential and congressional campaigns. Rep. Tom Marino, R-Lycoming Township, said Monday afternoon that he was withholding comment until the actual deadline passed for the supercommittee to issue its report. Among the supercommittee members is GOP Sen.

She said similar delays have occurred in state government due to budget cuts. Commissioners had asked managers to submit 2012 requests that were flat or less than this year’s allotted amounts, even if they had to compensate for mandatory union raises. That didn’t happen in most departments. The county’s budget is $125.2 million this year, and departments initially sought $134.5 million for next year. Commissioners internally reopened the draft budget for revisions, but the requests increased to $134.7 million instead of decreasing. The county budget/finance office has now whittled down expenses to $127.1 million. Urban has said that many of the cuts were for wish-list items the county can’t afford. Commissioners have been taking advantage of grants and other new revenue streams to help compensate for shortfalls, including a $1.16 million loss in 911 funding, Petrilla said. For example, commissioners voted last week to lease 225 square feet of concession space in the county’s Penn Place annex in downtown Wilkes-Barre to Curry Donuts. The business will pay $225 per month in rent and provide the county with a 1 percent commission on gross sales after six months. The commission increases to 2 percent after a year. County officials have also successfully lobbied for payments in lieu of taxes from several tax-exempt organizations in recent months. possibility, Barletta said, would be for the committee to come back with a partial agreement that halts at least some of the $1.2 trillion in automatic across the board cuts triggered by a failure to reach an agreement and forward the plan to Congress. Half the automatic cuts would fall on defense programs, something Barletta said he opposes. He also said other cuts would hit programs such as heating assistance and education initiatives that often have bipartisan support. “That was to be the incentive to try to come up with a deal,” Barletta said. “My hope is we can still sit down and compromise on the programs and cuts.” Barletta noted that the actual cuts don’t take effect until 2013, saying, “We still have 13 months to put something together.” ButToomeysaidMondaythesuper committee had failed.

Brady leads Patriots to big win over outmanned Kansas City By HOWARD ULMAN AP Sports Writer

PATRIOTS

CHIEFS

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Tom Brady threw two touchdown passes to Rob Gronkowski and the New England Patriots shook off a sluggish start to beat the Kansas City Chiefs 34-3 on Monday night. Julian Edelman returned a punt 72 yards for a touchdown and Kyle Arrington had two interceptions, helping the

Patriots (7-3) increased their AFC East lead to two games. The Chiefs (4-6) weren’t expected to do much on offense behind untested quarterback Tyler Palko, making his first career start with Matt Cassel injured. And they didn’t, managing just a 26-yard field goal by Ryan Succop with 1:30 left in the first quarter for their only lead. The Patriots had their second

straight dominant game after beating the New York Jets 37-16. The Chiefs lost their third straight. Brady, who threw for just 19 yards in the first quarter, connected with Gronkowski for a 52-yard touchdown that put the Patriots up 7-3 with 4:18 left in the second. New England then came up with a turnover after allowing Kansas City to drive 46 yards.

PAUL SOKOLOSKI OPINION

Ready to tackle anything that’s coming his way

whole week of illness didn’t stop Nyeem Wartman from achieving his football dreams. So why should a school rocked by a heinous sex scandal? The high-energy linebacker for Valley View High School insists he’s still coming full-speed to Penn State, even in the aftermath of the upheaval that’s disgraced Happy Valley. Why? Why would anyone in his right mind want to enter a program with such a tarnished reputation? “I made a commitment,” Wartman said. Nobody would blame him for backing out of a non-binding verbal agreement to take his impressive defensive skills to Penn State. Not after the university’s squeakyclean image collapsed faster than one of those high school ballcarriers Wartman hits. The biggest blow to Penn State’s football program so far came when legendary Nittany Lions coach Joe Paterno was fired. That move was made after their former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky was charged with sexually assaulting young boys during a state investigation that put the school’s hierarchy in upheaval. Now the NCAA is investigating. By the time it all ends, Penn State could be in for more punishment. And the current coaching staff may not be around when Wartman arrives next year. That includes linebackers coach Ron Vanderlinden, who Wartman said was a major factor in college selection. Want to make another choice? “Got to live with my decision,” Wartman said firmly. Well, he doesn’t have to, since athletic recruits aren’t bound to schools until they sign national letters-of-intent until February. The key is, Wartman wants to experience Penn State. “It’s one of those situations where you can put your own mark on a program,” Wartman said, “and get them going back in the right direction.” He longs to help the Lions recover from the most heartbreaking period in their history, and resurrect an image that for so long portrayed purity. “I feel it’s on the upswing,” Wartman said. “I’ll be part of a new era.” Clearly, Nyeem Wartman never backs down from a challenge. He got a pretty good one last week, while suffering from a stomach virus, strep throat and a fever. The symptoms knocked him for such a loop, he spent most of the first half of Saturday’s District 2 Class 3A championship game against Dallas on the sideline. But Wartman found his way back to the field for the second half, and helped the Cougars find their first district championship during a dramatic 18-12 comeback victory. He picked himself up and delivered a tackle so crushing, it knocked Dallas’ star quarterback out of the game. He picked off a pass, then picked up a blitz from his tight end position on offense, allowing quarterback Liam Callejas enough time to throw the game-tying touchdown under three minutes left. “One of those football games that goes down in our history,” Wartman called it. “It will live forever.” The idealism of Penn State football died abruptly. The Lions are going to guys like Wartman to bring it back. Paul Sokoloski is a Times Leader sports columnist. You may reach him at 970-7109 or email him at psokoloski@timesleader.com.

Fallyn Boich

Holy Redeemer Boich posted a 10-3 record on the season and beat Syal in the District 2 Class 2A championship quarterfinals (6-4, 6-2). She continued as far as the semi-finals, where she lost to eventual champion Kendra Croker (Scranton Prep) 6-1, 6-0.

year player, which appears to run in her family. “It meant a lot,” Joanlanne said. “My sister was in the number one spot as a freshman, so I was kind of following after her.” Perhaps her biggest win of the season came in a match against MMI Prep’s Gabrielle Lobitz. Down 5-1 in the first set, Joanlanne bore down and came back to defeat Lobitz in that set before taking the next set 6-love to win the match. “Gab was being very competitive in the first set and she was my toughest competitor at that point in time,” Joanlanne said. “I wasn’t really expecting that, so I was a little taken aback. When I realized I was down that much, I just told myself that I couldn’t lose.” Joanlanne advanced to the District 2 Class 2A championship finals, where she was beaten by Kendra Croker of Scranton Prep by scores of 6-2 and 6-4. Not only did Joanlanne and Syal have a strong season when looking at singles action, they also played well as a doubles team. The duo advanced all the way to the final match of the Dis-

trict 2 Class 2A championship, where they defeated the team of Emily Walsh and Grace Reilly from Scranton Prep (6-2, 6-3) to be crowned the 2011 2A doubles champions. “I thought their personalities worked very well together all year, especially in doubles,” said Wyoming Seminary girls tennis coach Mike Balutanski. “Nathalie was a more intense player than Sheena, but Sheena was more laid back, so she was able to calm down Nathalie at times while Nathalie could raise Sheena’s intensity. They are very complimentary on the court.” Syal is currently deciding whether to focus on basketball or continue with tennis while attending college. Meanwhile, Joanlanne looks to continue her strong play next season. “I’m definitely going to work harder to try to beat my rival, Kendra (of Scranton Prep),” Joanlanne said. “I’m going to try to step up and beat her in singles districts next year, because that’s definitely a goal of mine. This season was a great experience, especially going to states for doubles. That was a lot of fun, so I definitely want to do that again.”

Gabrielle Lobitz

MMI Prep The sophomore played a huge role for the Preppers in 2011, finishing 13-3 overall. She lost to Scranton Prep’s Emily Walsh (6-0, 6-1) in the District 2 Class 2A quarterfinals.

Ferrer just too hip for Murray in pulling off an upset special By CAROLINE CHEESE AP Sports Writer

LONDON — David Ferrer pulled off the first upset of the ATP World Tour Finals by defeating Andy Murray 6-4, 7-5 Monday. In the opening match of Group A, Ferrer’s consistency proved too much for the thirdseeded Murray, who had treatment for an apparent hip injury between sets. The seventh-seeded Spaniard broke in the 10th game of the first set and twice came from a

break down in the second to stun Murray and the home crowd inside London’s O2 Arena. Murray finished with 44 unforced errors and made just 46 percent of his first serves. Later Monday, top-ranked Novak Djokovic was hoping his shoulder injury would hold up in his opening match against Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic. Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer each came through three-set matches on Sunday to set up the

26th meeting of their long rivalry on Tuesday. While Nadal struggled with an illness before pulling out a win, Murray couldn’t escape his problems. His loss was all the more surprising given the 24-year-old Scot had won all five of his previous matches on hard courts against Ferrer and came into the tournament with a 17-1 record since losing in the U.S. Open semifinals to Nadal. Murray broke for a 2-1 lead in the first set but then immediate-

ly conceded the advantage with an error-strewn game. And while Murray’s form fluctuated wildly, Ferrer maintained his trademark consistency from the baseline. Murray hadn’t shown any sign of an injury but when serving to stay in the set at 5-4 down, he asked the umpire to call for the trainer and subsequently dropped serve for the second time, blazing a forehand long and wide on Ferrer’s second set point. The trainer gave Murray a vigorous massage during the injury

time-out, and it seemed to have done the trick when Murray immediately broke serve in the second set — albeit thanks to a rare error by Ferrer. The stadium was about twothirds full for the afternoon session, despite the appearance of the only British player in the tournament. Murray’s performance didn’t give them much to cheer about as he lost serve at love in the fourth game and double-faulted to give up another break in the eighth. Ferrer found his best form just

when it counted. Leading 6-5, the Spaniard punched a perfect volley onto the sideline to bring up match point, and pounced on an ill-advised drop shot from Murray to take control of the point and claim his first win at the O2 Arena after going 0-3 last year. Murray will hope his body can recover quickly as he will face the loser of the Djokovic-Berdych match on Wednesday, needing a win to maintain any chance of reaching the semifinals.

By TOM ROBINSON For The Times Leader

SCRANTON -- The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Steamers are starting to take shape. The team picked a player with professional experience overseas and another who recently completed his Division III college career during the Premier Basketball League draft Thursday. The Steamers then held tryouts to attempt to fill out their roster Sunday. The Steamers are an expansion team in the 11-team minor league that has its league office in Chicago. The team is scheduled to make its debut New Year’s Eve in Rochester then play its home opener at the Lackawanna College Student Union on

The West also has a deep receiving corps led by Shane Dunn, who led Division 3A of the Wyoming Valley Conference in receiving, as well as Valley West’s Dylan Flayhart, who did the same in Division 4A. There are also two of the WVC’s most versatile offensive players on the roster – Dallas’ Paul Brace and Lake-Lehman’s Nick Shelley. With so much talent from so many schools, the Pittston Area coaches are keeping everything as simple as possible. “Terminology, we’re just calling it blast, power, sweep,” Barrett said. “We’re not putting any number system in or any verbiage. We’re keeping it basic and running a base offense. Fortunately, we have a couple good quarterbacks who can run the ball, too.”

Amy was named to the Big Ten first team and also was named tournament MVP. Penn State finished 17-6, losing 3-2 to Connecticut in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

N.Y. senator Schumer pushes helmet safety bill Times Leader wire services

MERRICK, N.Y. — Sen. Charles Schumer called proposed federal legislation requiring improved safety standards for football helmets used in high school and youth leagues “the biggest leap in helmet safety since we abandoned the old leather helmet.” Schumer, a co-sponsor of the Children’s Sports Athletic Equipment Safety Act, spoke Monday about the legislation. He cited a growing number of head injuries as the impetus for the bill, which he said has bipartisan support. Third-party testing would certify new equipment, he said. The bill would also call for the Federal Trade Commission to impose penalties on companies and retailers that use false safety claims to sell the helmets.

AL MVP

MVP gives Verlander his biggest win By RONALD BLUM AP Sports Writer

NEW YORK — Justin Verlander figured time had run out on his chance to become the first starting pitcher in a quarter-century to be voted Most Valuable Player. Last Tuesday, he found out about 12:40 p.m. that he was a unanimous winner of the AL Cy Young Award. It was closing in on 1 p.m. Monday, and he still hadn’t gotten word on the MVP. “I had told myself that it wasn’t going to happen,” he said. “I figured somebody else got the call.” Not to worry, there was just a slight delay because Verlander didn’t give the Baseball Writers’ Association of America his telephone number, forcing the BBWAA to relay the news through Brian Britten, the Detroit Tigers’ director of media relations. Britten telephoned Verlander at 12:56

p.m., about one hour before the announcement. “It was just a weight off my shoulders,” Verlander said, “and pure elation, really.” After winning the AL’s pitching triple crown by going 24-5 with a 2.40 ERA and 250 strikeouts, Verlander received 13 of 28 first-place votes and 280 points. He became the first pitcher voted MVP since Oakland’s Dennis Eckersley in 1992 and the first starting pitcher since Boston’s Roger Clemens in 1986. “Obviously pitchers are not just written off all of a sudden because they’re pitchers,” Verlander said. Boston center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury was second with four firsts and 242 points, followed by Toronto right fielder Jose Bautista with five firsts and 231 points, Yankees center fielder Curtis Granderson with 215 and Detroit first baseman Miguel Cabrera with 193.

Recent history has been against pitchers. Since Eckersley’s win, only once had a pitcher finished as high as second. In 1999, Boston’s Pedro Martinez was 13 points behind Texas catcher Ivan Rodriguez after going 23-4 with a 2.07 ERA and 313 strikeouts. Martinez had eight first-place votes to seven for Rodriguez, but La Velle Neal of the Minneapolis Star Tribune and George King of the New York Post left Martinez off their ballots. “Not even in my wildest dreams had I thought of this,” Verlander said during a conference call from his home in Virginia. “I want to say this is a dream come true. I can’t say that because my dream had already had come true ... to win a Cy Young. And the next dream is to win a World Series. This wasn’t even on my radar until the talk started. And then all of a sudden it was a this-could-actuallyhappen type of thing.” Verlander had the most wins in the

major leagues since Oakland’s Bob Welch went 27-6 in 1990. Verlander pitched his second career no-hitter at Toronto on May 7. His season reopened debate over whether pitchers can be MVPs. “I think that a starting pitcher has to do something special to be as valuable or more so than a position player,” Verlander said. “Obviously, having the chance to play in 160-some games in the case of Miguel, they can obviously have a huge impact every day. That’s why, I’ve talked about on my day, on a pitcher’s day, the impact we have is tremendous on that game. So you have to have a great impact almost every time out to supersede (position players) and it happens on rare occasions, and I guess this year was one of those years.” Verlander, the 2006 AL Rookie of the Year, joined the Brooklyn Dodgers’ Don Newcombe as the only players to win all

three major awards in their careers. “I think this set a precedent,” Verlander said. “I’m happy that the voters acknowledged that, that we do have a major impact in this game and we can be extremely valuable to our team and its success.” Verlander appeared on only 27 ballots and was omitted by Jim Ingraham of The Herald-News in Ohio.

NHL ROUNDUP

No. 15 Wolverines beat No. 8 Tigers

Ponikarovsky leads ’Canes past Flyers

The Associated Press

LAHAINA, Hawaii — Tim Hardaway Jr. had 21 points, Trey Burke added 14 and No. 15 Michigan knocked off No. 8 Memphis 73-61 in the opening round of the Maui Invitational on Monday. Back in Maui for the first time since 1998, Michigan (4-0) looked right at home in paradise, using its ability to penetrate to shoot 54 percent while hounding the Tigers with a variety of defenses. The two-time tournament champions move on to face the winner between No. 6 Duke and Tennessee in Tuesday’s semifinals. Memphis (1-1) backed up an easy season-opening win with a shaky performance against the experienced Wolverines. Charles Carmouche led Memphis with 14 points. Duke 77, Tennessee 67 LAHAINA, Hawaii — Austin Rivers scored 18 points, Seth Curry and Ryan Kelly had 17 each, and No. 6 Duke pulled away in the second half to beat Tennessee in the first round of the Maui Invitational. Duke (5-0) improved to 13-0 all-time in Maui, allowing Tennessee to stay close well into the second half before wearing the young Volunteers down with its deep and versatile lineup. Mason Plumlee had 13 rebounds and Andre Dawkins added 10 points for the Blue Devils, who move on to Tuesday’s semifinals against No. 15 Michigan, which knocked off No. 8 Memphis. Florida 78, Wright St. 65 TAMPA, Fla. — Freshman Bradley Beal scored a careerhigh 22 points, leading 10thranked Florida over Wright State. Kenny Boynton had 22 points and Mike Rosario came off the bench to add 11 for the Gators (3-1), who led by double digits for much of the night but never fully closed the door on the persistent Raiders (2-2) until the end. Julius Mays led Wright State with a career-best 21 points, including a 3-pointer that trimmed Florida’s lead to nine with five minutes to go. John Balwigaptdeskire had 15 points and freshman Reggie Arceneaux finished with 13.

Mississippi State 78, Louisiana-Monroe 63 STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) — Dee Bost scored 21 points, freshman Rodney Hood added a career-high 20 and No. 24 Mississippi State beat LouisianaMonroe. While Bost has been a productive starter for four seasons, Hood’s emergence is a major reason why the Bulldogs are back in the national rankings for the first time in nearly two years. The 6-foot-8 guard from Meridian, Miss., has scored at least 10 points in five of the Bulldogs’ first six games. He shot 9 of 13 from the field, including 2 of 4 from 3-point range and also added eight AP PHOTO rebounds. Michigan forward Jordan Morgan (52) puts up a jump shot while Ohio St. 85, North Florida 50 COLUMBUS, Ohio — Jared Sullinger had 27 points and 13 rebounds, and No. 3 Ohio State roared to a big first-half lead to beat North Florida. Deshaun Thomas added 16 points and William Buford 13 for the Buckeyes (4-0), who ran their home winning streak to 26 in a row. Lenzelle Smith Jr. added seven points, five rebounds and set career bests with three steals and five assists. Missouri 87, Notre Dame 58 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Marcus Denmon scored 26 points, Phil Pressey added 17 and No. 21 Missouri used a big run spanning halftime to knock off Notre Dame in the semifinals of the CBE Classic. Ricardo Ratliffe added 12 points and Kim English had 10 for the Tigers (4-0), who shot 63.3 percent from the field while building a 52-37 lead by halftime. Missouri scored the first six points out of the break to put the game away early, punching its ticket to the championship game. Virginia 60, Drake 52 ST. THOMAS, U.S. Virgin Islands — Joe Harris had 18 points and Mike Scott added 14 points and nine rebounds to lead Virginia to a victory over pesky Drake in the fourth-place game of the Paradise Jam.

PHILADELPHIA — Alexei Ponikarovsky had two goals and an assist and Chad LaRose had a goal and two assists and the Carolina Hurricanes earned a 4-2 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday night. Jeff Skinner also scored and Cam Ward made 30 saves for Carolina, which got its first victory in Philadelphia since Nov. 28, 2008. James van Riemsdyk and Matt Read scored for Philadelphia, which has lost two in a row. Down 2-0 after the first period, van Riemsdyk scored his eighth goal of the season early in the second period to get the Flyers on the board. However, a couple of minutes later, LaRose got his sixth to restore Carolina’s two-goal edge. At 12:24 of the second, the Flyers once again got within a goal when rookie Matt Read scored his ninth of the season that pulled the Flyers within 3-2. Read has scored a goal in five straight games. But Ponikarovsky managed to find the puck through a group of players in front of the net and lifted it over Flyers goalie Ilya Bryzgalov late in the second to make it 4-2. Capitals 4, Coyotes 3 WASHINGTON — Nicklas Backstrom scored early in the third period, then set up Brooks Laich’s power-play goal, helping the Capitals rally from a two-goal deficit and edge the Phoenix Coyotes, ending Washington’s four-game losing

crowd greeted Crosby with a deafening roar when he skated onto the ice during warm-ups while “Back in the Saddle Again” blared over the speakers. Fans held placards with “Sid’ on them — a directive from Hall of Famer and team owner Mario Lemieux — while others brought homemade homages to “Sid the Kid,” including one that read “Merry Sid-Mas.” Crosby’s return gave a lateNovember game between a perennial contender and an overmatched also-ran a playoff-like feel, and not just because more than 250 press credentials were handed out, four times the usual number. Throughout his achingly slow rehab the 24-year-old stressed he wouldn’t return until he felt 100 percent and stressed it would be nearly impossible to top Lemieux’s successful return from retirement in 2000, when he notched an assist on his first shift then later added a goal and another helper. Amazingly, Crosby one-upped his boss. Displaying the speed that’s made him a national icon in his

streak. The victory was the 200th of Bruce Boudreau’s NHL coaching career. He took over the Capitals in November 2007, promoted from AHL affiliate Hershey when Washington fired Glen Hanson on Thanksgiving Day. Blue Jackets 4, Flames 1 COLUMBUS, Ohio — Jeff Carter had two goals, Curtis Sanford made 27 saves and the Columbus Blue Jackets beat the Calgary Flames for their first winning streak in 42 games. Antoine Vermette and Rick Nash also scored, and Vinny Prospal added three assists for the Blue Jackets, who improved to 3-1-1 in their last five games, and 2-0-1 in those games with the red-hot Sanford. Nash stopped a sevengame drought. Bruins 1, Canadiens 0 MONTREAL — Tim Thomas made 33 saves for his second straight shutout and the Boston Bruins extended their winning streak to nine games with a win over the Montreal Canadiens. Panthers 4, Devils 3 SUNRISE, Fla. — Tomas Fleischmann scored at 17:57 in the third period and the Florida Panthers beat the New Jersey Devils. Kris Versteeg scored two goals for Florida, and Stephen Weiss had a goal and an assist. Jose Theodore stopped 24 shots. native Canada and the face of the sport at age 24, Crosby transformed the Penguins from Cup contender to Cup favorite in less than 6 minutes, or the time it took him to score his first goal in 328 days. Finishing off a backcheck, Crosby streaked up the ice, took a pass from Dupuis as he crossed the center line and went to work. He worked the puck to his backhand, slipped past New York’s Andrew MacDonald and flipped the puck over Nilsson’s glove. The normally reticent Crosby screamed as he skated into the corner, thrusting his arms aloft and letting out a huge scream. He was just getting started, later helping the Penguins go up 2-0 by feeding Orpik on the point and watching his defenseman rifle a slap shot by Nilsson. Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma said before the game he’d try to monitor Crosby’s minutes but knew it would be difficult to keep him off the ice. It was. Crosby played nearly 16 minutes and for the first time in nearly a year, absorbed a hit at game speed. New York’s Travis Hamonic cleanly checked Crosby to the ground during a first-period Pittsburgh power play.

Three local manufacturing executives have been appointed by Gov. Tom Corbett to a new public-private council to identify and prioritize issues that can support manufacturing in Pennsylvania. The council, led by the Team Pennsylvania Foundation, consists of 23 members from a cross-section of manufacturing interests.

Local members are: Louay Mishu, plant manager-family care, Proctor & Gamble, Mehoopany; Scott Meuser, chairman and CEO, Pride Mobility Products Corp., Exeter; David Simpson, president, Diamond Manufacturing, Wyoming.

The Dow Jones industrial average lost almost 250 points after the special committee of Congress assigned to come up with $1.2 trillion in deficit cuts over 10 years indicated that there would be no deal. “They’re essentially giving up,” said Robert Robis, head of fixed income macro strategies at ING Investment Management. The declines Monday were broad. Energy and technology stocks lost the most. All 30 stocks in the Dow average fell, led by Boeing Co. with a 4.7 percent decline. The dollar rose along with U.S. Treasury prices.

Computer-on-a-stick around for the long haul HAVING A self-contained, bootable USB stick that you can simply carry around and plug in to any computer is not a new idea. It’s been possible for years. But for some reason, the idea hasn’t gained wide acceptance, despite the clear utility. Your computer crashes right before the big presentation. No problem; just plug in the USB stick, boot it up, copy the files over and you’re all set. You can fix the computer later. Or your computer is disabled by a virus that you can’t remove. Just run the anti-virus software from the USB stick. Simple, effective, cheap. Why aren’t more people doing this? Almost every operating system can be run from a USB stick, on nearly any computer — Windows XP is particularly popular, and some versions of Linux come with a built in utility that allows you to make a bootable USB key with just a few clicks of the mouse button, no advanced skills required. Now, finally, the idea is beginning to

Seeing the need for a broader range of services, the Back Mountain Business Association and the Back Mountain Economic Development Council have merged to form the Back Mountain Chamber of Commerce. Lynn Banta, chairwoman of the economic development council, said the chamber will begin its membership drive in December and will soon hire a full-time executive director. Banta, who owns the Twin Stacks Center, said the Back Mountain region has grown since the inception of the two groups, and a chamber of commerce will have more offerings to suit the needs of local businesses. For example, members will have access to a health care plan through the chamber. “For small businesses, that’s a godsend,” she said. Banta also cites more presence with the community as a benefit offered by forming a local chamber of commerce, as well as learning opportunities in seminars and expos. “We’re looking for a way to help our businesses connect with our community. We think that’s very important,” she said. “We’re looking for a way to say to new businesses that are starting, ‘This is a great place to start a business.’ ” The chamber will continue to offer what both organizations have provided in the past. Banta said the economic development council has a mentoring program for new business owners or businesses moving into the area. “We have a group of executives willing to help a new business and we also have a great alliance with the Small Business Development Center in Wilkes-Barre,” she said. She said the population within the Dallas and Lake-Lehman school districts’ territories now rivals that of Wilkes-Barre, and the number and type of businesses in the region could benefit from this type of organization. “We’re not interested in being a bedroom community,” she said. “We need to have a thriving business community of our own.” Banta said the chamber will work alongside other local business groups, such as the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce, rather than compete with them. Banta said the chamber aims to expand its membership to home-based businesses and non-profit agencies.

Sales of U.S. homes picked up marginally in October as lower-priced homes were snapped up even as the rest of the market remains little moved or even declining, according to data from a trade group released Monday. The National Association of Realtors said sales rose 1.4 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.97 million from 4.9 million in September. Year-over-year, sales climbed 13.8 percent. The median price of homes dropped 4.7 percent from year-ago levels to $162,500.

computer, Macs included, and bam, all of your apps and files are there. But here’s the real kicker: Got a new HDTV, or even just a display with an HDMI port? Plug the HDMI adapter into the TV, grab a Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse, and you’ve got yourself a computer on the cheap (relatively speaking). This tiny bundle of electronics is set to cost about $200 — and it should be available sometime next year. But this thing is so small, and so capable that it’s almost certainly worth the money. You could turn any monitor or TV with an HDMI port (almost every new TV or monitor will have them) into a computer as needed. I can think of five times right off the top of my head where this thing would have saved me either time or money. Between gizmos like this and the increasing popularity of cloud-augmented devices like the iPad, it’s a distinct possibility that the desktop computer’s days are numbered.

A signiﬁcant rainfall event will begin here later today and continue through the night. Flooding is not anticipated; however, streams will swell with amounts ranging from 1 to 2 inches. The storm will track in such a way, temperatures will remain well above freezing and some of the heavier downpours could come with lightning and thunder. The rain will end early Wednesday with clearing by late afternoon and a gusty north wind. Both Thursday and Friday are looking very sunny, with dry weather lasting through Saturday. Southerly winds will then allow for warmer temperatures, as well. - Tom Clark

RUNNERS PUSH IT TO THE LIMIT By PAM SCHMID Star Tribune (Minneapolis)

INNEAPOLIS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sixty-odd miles into her most recent 100mile race, Valeria La Rosa viewed a slide show in her head. She saw herself lying on her couch watching TV. She saw herself in her comfy bed, reading a book. She saw herself anywhere but where she was just then, slogginguphillafterhillsomewherenear Desolation Lake in Utahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wasatch Mountains with little idea where the finish line was. Then she got over it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to keep going,â&#x20AC;? La Rosa said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You will; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gone that far. But youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just tired.â&#x20AC;? Being bone-tired is a hallmark of running ultramarathons, the term for any race longer than the standard 26.2 miles. But those who take part in them prefer

not to dwell on aches and pains, rotten weather or how sleepy they sometimes becomealongthetrails.Instead,theytalk about being in nature, the stunning views, the camaraderie and the volunteers who help them keep going. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You need to love doing it. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no point going through it if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enjoy it,â&#x20AC;? said La Rosa, 36, a native Argentine who lives in Plymouth, Minn., and runs a half-dozen ultramarathons a year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just getsomuchjoyoutofit.Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;smyhobbyand abigpartofmylife.IfeelblessedthatIcan do it, actually.â&#x20AC;?

Ice creamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tasty cousin makes a healthy dessert By MARY MACVEAN Los Angeles Times

Eileen McHale says she likes ice cream enough to eat it for every meal. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s far from alone, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s come up with an appliance that comes close to turning frozen fruit â&#x20AC;&#x201D;justfruitâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;intoaprettygoodapproximation of soft-serve ice cream. Her appliance, called Yonanas (about $50), works best if at least one of those fruits is banana. Hence, the name. The proliferation of frozen yogurt shops illustrates the problem:

People choose fat-free yogurt instead of ice cream and load it down with candy bar or cookie toppings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone says they want to eat healthier. They do not want to give up what they love,â&#x20AC;? McHale said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love ice cream. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t love me back,â&#x20AC;? McHale said, adding that, as a child, she never felt great after eating ice cream, not realizing she was sensitive to lactose. And then there are the calories in ice cream. See YONANAS, Page 3C

Q: How does a melatonin supplement work? I know that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helpful for sleep, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hormone and not a sedative like Ambien or Lunesta. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;W.R., Lima, Ohio A: Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re exactly right. Melatonin is not a sedative, but a hormone secreted by the pineal gland in the brain thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s involved in regulating the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s master clock and helping the body distinguish when we should be awake and when we should be asleep (a biological time cue). Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why, in small doses, melatonin supplements have been used to help people adapt to changes in sleep-wake cycles, like from jet travel across time zones or from shift work. When you take an over-the-counter melatonin supplement of 2-6 mg 30-90 minutes before bedtime, it advances the internal time clock because of a brief spike in the blood melatonin level and makes your body think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s later than it really is. For some folks, that will help with initial insomnia (difficulty falling asleep). Unfortunately, melatonin has not been shown to be very effective for chronic sleep disorders. Since a low light level is a stimulus for the secretion of melatonin, be sure to keep your room dark. An important piece of information about the use of melatonin is that more is not necessarily better. Too large a dose of supplemental melatonin (more than 6mg) will spill over onto the wrong side of the melatonin-regulated sleep-wake cycle and actually cause a melatonininduced insomnia. Q: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m 78 years old. I received the pneumonia vaccine in 2004. At that time, my doctor said that the vaccination lasts 10 years. Can you explain why I was hospitalized this past summer with pneumonia? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;T.D., Winter Park, Fla. A: Many folks think that their pneumonia shot will keep them from getting pneumonia, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not quite true. The pneumonia shot protects only against pneumococcal (streptococcal) pneumonia, the most common cause of bacterial pneumonia. And even thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only 60-70 percent effective at best. Other bacteria like H. influenza, staphylococcus, mycoplasma, chlamydia and neisseria also cause bacterial pneumonia. Viruses like influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), adenovirus and parainfluenza that can cause pneumonia thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s viral. A flu shot will only protect against viral pneumonia if the cause of the infection is influenza. As far as how long the pneumonia (pneumococcal) vaccine lasts, it can provide years of protection to someone younger than 65 with a healthy immune system. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommended that a second shot be given once a healthy person reaches 65. Folks who have any form of chronic illness should be revaccinated every 5 years.

capsaicin — not a lot, but it adds up over time. If you can’t tolerate spice, try cinnamon, garlic, ginger or cloves and use vinegar as a marinade. • Cook more. Opening a package burns almost zero calories — much less than preparing meals from scratch. Beware non-active calories. Cookies and pastries, chips, sodas and highly processed meats such as hot dogs and chicken nuggets are easily digested and most likely to be stored as fat.

All calories are not created equal. Some require more energy to digest, giving you “a bigger bang for your buck,” says Leslie Bonci, registered dietitian, director of sports medicine at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and an author of “The Active Calorie Diet.” • Eat plenty of low-fat protein. Digesting these foods requires the most calorie burn. Just keep choices healthy: lean meats, eggs and low-fat dairy products, for example, not fatty cheeseburgers.

• Focus on fiber. Fiber-rich foods place second on the active calorie scale. Load up on fresh vegetables and fruits — with the skin on — beans, bran cereals and whole-wheat products, including breads. • Go for chewy. Your mouth, the first stop in the digestive process, will have to work harder. Choose whole fruit versus fruit juice and toss extra beans or broccoli into soups and stir-fries. • Add spice. Including items such as crushed peppers, wasabi and hot sauce at most meals likely will burn 10 to 20 extra calories a day thanks to a compound called

ULTRAS Continued from Page 1C

ia), Badwater (in Death Valley, Calif.) and Surf the Murph (in Savage, Minn.) Their popularity is apparently swelling. John Storkamp, 32, who has served as race director of several Twin Cities ultras, including the Afton Trail Run and the Zumbro 100 Mile, said ultras never filled up when he began running them seven years ago. “Now,fieldlimitsaremetearly,”he said, “and you better get signed up.” Success for ultra runners can be defined by whether a sore ankle was addressed the right way at the right time, the number of falls taken,howlongittooktofinishorsimply finishing at all. Dropping out of a race “is frustrating,butit’sjustpartofthedeal,” said John Taylor, of Minneapolis, SHOP LOCAL! BUY HANDMADE!

sometimes mixing in fruit, a granola bar or salty chicken broth. Ultramarathoners must be willing to deal with a little, or a lot, of discomfort. They must be expert problem-solvers, often making adjustments on the fly. They need to have tenacious work ethics and be OK with lots of alone time. They have to look at the glass as half full — even, according to Taylor, “when the cup is bone dry.” They also must be prepared for thementalhighsandlowsthatcome with just about every long race. “The whole ultra thing is up and down. ... You don’t worry if you feel terrible,evenat20miles,(because)a fewhourslateritgetsbetter,”saidLavin, 34, who lived in Minneapolis for sevenyearsbeforemovingtoCalifornia earlier this month. “You know you’ve felt like this before and can keep going. But if it’s your first ultra, that can be really hard to deal with.”

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

So we gave Yonanas a whirl. It’s definitely a one-task wonder, and consumers should make sure they have the inclination and the space for such a product. That said, the Yonanas machine is easy to use. It has one switch and a feeding tube for the fruit. Children could easily make Yonanas, thoughadultsshouldwashthemachine’s sharp blades. One downside is the noise: It’s loud. Also, a fair amount of dessert

The fruit flavors we tried — bananas with various combinations of berries — all came out well. Other possibilities: peanut butter; chai spice and tiramisu (cinnamon, cocoa and espresso with bananas).

Including bananas is the best way to get a soft-serve consistency, but they’re not required. Strawberries and mango, for example, were delicious together. You might have to play around to get the flavor you like. And you have to stir well after putting more than one kind of fruit through the machine.

Father’s ‘playful touching’ of daughter could easily become abuse Dear Abby: A number of things in the letter from “Uneasy in Indiana” (Oct. 21) can be red flags for sex abuse. I have worked in child welfare for 35 years. Abusers often start with “playful touching,” comment about “cute” body parts, continue after being asked to stop, and make power statements that they can touch the child if they want. Abusers, when confronted, often accuse the other parent of “misunderstanding” or “being crazy.” They may also accuse the child of misunderstanding the touches or being provocative. That “Uneasy” and her husband

DEAR ABBY ADVICE don’t have sex is also of concern — it can mean her husband finds children, not adult women, sexually desirable. Even if “Uneasy” isn’t sure, she should stop leaving the child alone with him. Let the husband know the touching and comments stop NOW — no excuses — and if there’s anything else of this nature she will report it to the authorities. The time to protect a child is BEFORE something happens. Afterward is too late. Children often tell only one time. If no action is taken, the child won’t tell again! — Seen It All in Texas

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

Dear Seen It All: My thanks to you and the others who wrote to support my advice to “Uneasy in Indiana.” My readers comment: Dear Abby: I’m a clinical social worker who works with sex offenders in a prison. I’m distressed that the husband “truly believed it was OK and didn’t mean ...” Yes, he DID mean to touch his daughter inappropriately. The key statement in that letter is the girl asked him to stop and he negated her feelings by telling her she “belonged” to him. HUGE red flag! So many offenders I see are infatuated with preteens. “Uneasy” needs to get him to counseling ASAP and never leave her daughter alone with Dad. — Uneasy Therapist in Illinois

CRYPTOQUOTE

Dear Abby: After my wife died I playfully spanked and patted my daughter’s cute little butt. Her school counselor found out, called child protective services, who called the police, and I was arrested. I wound up serving 2 1/2 years in prison. I’m now on parole and will be on the federal Sex Offender Registry for the next 20 years. That man needs to rethink his actions and get professional help before it’s too late for him or his daughter. — C.R.H. in Kentucky

control over her own body and her ability to say “no” without being afraid of offending some guy who wants to treat her like a sex object. It took years of therapy and work to repair the damage my father caused. This father’s problem should be addressed immediately by a professional therapist. “Uneasy” needs to put her foot down and let him know his behavior will not be tolerated. The daughter needs her mother’s full support. — Disturbed in Oregon

Dear Abby: “Uneasy’s” letter made me sick, having endured the same treatment from my father. The issue is boundaries. Every girl needs them in order to maintain her self-worth,

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your creative mind will start searching for ways to express what’s in your heart from the moment you get out of bed to the moment you get back into it. Even your dreams will be creative. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re stretched beyond comfort, and yet you don’t mind it. You realize that you must be challenged slightly more than is cozy in order to grow into the role you so desire. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You will be increasingly willing to explore what your senses are telling you. Whatever you feel, it informs you. There are no inherently bad feelings, just feelings that give you different kinds of information. CANCER (June 22-July 22). No one will accuse you of being boring. Maybe you’ll say things that are even a little more “interesting” than you intended, producing a wave of publicity. Any publicity is good publicity. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be spending time with people who are difficult to get to know. You’ll just have to work a little bit harder to crack the code. And only you can determine whether it’s really worthwhile. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll try harder when you don’t think anyone is watching. They can’t help themselves, as they are drawn to your intriguing and original way of going about your business. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your faith helps you focus, and your focus helps you have faith. You’ll find that whatever you gaze upon — either with your actual eyes or

with your mind’s eye — will talk back to you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The way you speak will have a mesmerizing effect on others. The best part is that you probably don’t even mean to have this effect. It happens naturally. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The term “personal responsibility” means something different to each person. You prefer to act in a manner that most would deem highly responsible. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The role you play in a group can change. The thing that makes it change is your decision to act a different part. You’ll bring about a new dynamic in the weeks to come. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Breakups are breakthroughs, and breakthroughs can cause breakups. Knowing this, you’ll be happy for the status quo. You’ll make a point of enjoying the relationships that are going well. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A conversation plays out the same way every time you connect with a certain person. It’s getting old. You’ll be the one who initiates something new to talk about. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 22). This will be a busy year for you. You will find new qualities to appreciate in yourself. You’ll do what’s best for you. The start of 2012 feels like you’re waking up to a dream. In March, your personal life sparkles with new characters. You’ll invest, and it will pay off for you. Aquarius and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 39, 1, 21, 30 and 16.
